GEM Advanced Magnetometers is a supplier of magnetometers, gradiometers and magnetic sensors for Earth Science, Geophysics and other applications. With more than three decades in the research and development of equipment for geophysical exploration, GEM is also known for its service and support – featuring knowledgeable magnetics professionals and the industry-leading three-year warranty program.
Quantum magnetometers take advantage of the spin of subatomic particles (nuclei and unpaired valence electrons). Through a process of polarization, particles are caused to precess in the earth's ambient magnetic field. The resulting frequency of precession can be translated directly into magnetic field units. Quantum results are scalar (total field intensity) as opposed to vector (i.e. from fluxgate geophysical instruments or GEM's Suspended dIdD technology).GEM leads in developing advanced quantum magnetometer technologies, including the Overhauser, optically pumped Potassium (K-Mag) and Proton Precession magnetometers. The company is recognized as the successful commercial developer of both the Overhauser and Potassium magnetometer / gradiometer. Moreover, its Proton Precession magnetometer / gradiometer is the latest technology system in its class.
Quantum magnetometers and gradiometers are widely applied due to their ease-of-use, low cost of surveying, and data quality. Applications include Airborne Mapping, Archaeology, Earthquake Prediction, Education and Research, Environmental and Engineering, Mineral and Oil Exploration, Observatories, Unexploded Ordnance Detection (UXO), Volcanology and others.

Alternative 2
Alternative 2 is the smart choice that builds a world-class airport while protecting neighboring communities and promotes a regional approach to LA's aviation traffic. The Draft EIR by LAWA supports LAX Alternative 2 for runway efficiency, ease of construction, faster job creation, reducing construction delays and costs and reduced community impact. It modernizes LAX without expansion and is distinguished by the fact that it does not propose a relocation of the northern runway.
Alternative 9
Alternative 9 favors a MetroRail/LAX connection that will enhance regional access to/from LAX and reduce overcongested car traffic (and commuter access) to/from LAX. It moves the Consolidated Rent-a-Car facility to Manchester Square from Lot C and must be combined with other Alts to establish the full Master Plan. Implementing Alts 2 & 9 will bring billions of dollars of investment in modernization and ground transportation infrastructure not only to LAX, but, to the greater Los Angeles area.

Although Only Fools And Horses was supposedly based in Peckham, London, none of the filming ever took place there. Exterior filming was originally done at Harlech Tower, Acton before filming switched to Bristol.Picture: BBC

Remember the Three Stooges? Yes, the classic comedic trio known for eye pokes and head smacks are inexplicably making their way back to the big screen (courtesy of another dated comedy team, the Farrelly brothers). So, will this be an updated, 21st Century 'Three Stooges'? According to the first teaser trailer, kind of! In the new movie, Larry, Curly and Moe have somehow time-traveled to present day (look out for that iPhone joke and Snooki cameo!), but of course nothing has changed between them. How many stupid harmful Stooge-esque gags are in the first trailer? Let's take a look.
After adding up all the eye pokes, hammers (and elbows and fists) to the head, face plants and lobster bites, we have arrived at 20 gags in the short trailer. Assume there is plenty more where that came from.
'The Three Stooges,' starring Sean Hayes (Larry), Will Sasso (Curly) and Chris Diamantopoulos (Moe), will hit theaters on April 13, 2012.
You can watch the trailer below. Check out the HD version over on Apple.

In which game did you find the best story and world?
"Story" is a broad category, but an important one. Many forget that this is the MMORPG genre and in any RPG, story is a key component. Some games do it better than others, but most online-worlds do offer a rich world for players to immerse themselves in. Here we nominate the five we feel offered the best story and the best worlds in 2005.

|Well there were 2 problems in my mind before i bought this which were: this monitor is a great monitor because of the contrast 20000:1 so it will very clear when watching movie. However. I bought the 24inch version of this monitor and it is fantastic.
|3:56pm on Friday, September 24th, 2010

Reviews for
Stunning Science of Everything
Horn Book Guide Reviews 2007 Spring
This book undertakes a gargantuan task. From the Big Bang through myriad lifeforms, frenzied pages relentlessly seek to inform and entertain readers through some potty humor and a cast of characters exploring various scientific facts. Sidebars, cartoons, charts, and other visual aids abound. Readers who like this approach will find reliable science here. Timeline. Copyright 2007 Horn Book Guide Reviews.
School Library Journal Reviews 2007 February
Gr 4-8-This humorous look at science combines colorful cartoons and writing that ranges from lighthearted to silly and conveys a lot of interesting information. Starting with the Big Bang, the book moves quickly from small (atoms, microbes, and bugs) to big (humans, dinosaurs, and the universe). Each page is filled with cartoon drawings in a variety of visual presentations. A wanted poster introduces a deadly bacterium; film panels describe possible Earth-destroying disasters; and "awful animals" are presented through "secret diary" entries (in which a naked mole rat complains about having to "feed my baby brothers and sisters with my own poo"). Several humorous, but also informational, features recur throughout the book: "Brainy Boffins" are mini-profiles of famous scientists; "stunning science fact files" and "Bet you never knew!" boxes offer impressive tidbits of information; and the "shrinking scientists" are three cartoon characters who investigate DNA molecules, toilet water, and other interesting phenomena. Some readers may find it hard to extract useful knowledge from the barrage of humor, but for others the presentation might be just right. Reinforcing the concept of the electromagnetic force with the fact that "your bum is floating" above your chair, for instance, may be an unconventional approach, but it's also attention-getting, memorable, and accurate. The heavy doses of visual and verbal comedy are built around basic science and a plentiful array of fascinating facts, making this a strong choice for booktalkers and reluctant readers.-Steven Engelfried, Beaverton City Library, OR Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.
VOYA Reviews 2007 February
Combining what might be boring scientific fact with busy colorful graphics appears at first glance to be a match made in heaven. Arnold enlists the aid of a crazy cast of characters to tackle the wonders of the universe and-almost-everything in it, starting with the big bang and running through the projected end of the solar system. Breaking up the study of life into small parts (atoms) and large parts (the explosive earth), text is interspersed with comic book-style graphics, jokes, recipes, and general silliness to lead the reader through the world of science Although the idea for a graphic science book is sound, this one combines facts, information, and text at a much more advanced level than the childlike pictures and captions would lead the reader to expect. Youth enticed by the pictures will likely be put off by the depth of information and language usage, while readers looking for a good sound read through a science text might feel demeaned by the cartoonish graphics and silly attempts to entertain. The lack of index will make it difficult for students trying to put together a school report. Purchase as an extra title for an already strong science collection.-Angie Hammond Glossary. Illus. Photos. Charts. 2Q 2P M J Copyright 2007 Voya Reviews.

Guided Sight
Faith, Marriage, and the Holy Communion
Ed finished our talk by saying, "In all of this searching, it's been important for me to find a path where both Marcia and I can serve together, at least in some aspect. The impulse in me to delve deeper is firmly attached to our relationship. Without my marriage to Marcia, I would not have been capable of connecting to my faith as I have done over the last eighteen years. In Marriage Encounter, we used to have a poster that showed an equilateral triangle, with the husband and wife at the bottom and God at the top. The closer both spouses draw toward God, the closer their union becomes. We have lived that experience in our marriage, and perhaps I understand its truth better now than ever before."
On Mother's Day, Ed served for the first time as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion. We sometimes hold hands in church, and I commented that his hands were as cold as ice—not like him at all—I am usually the one with the cold hands. He was very nervous at the prospect of serving the Eucharist. It was a very special gift to me that day that I was the first one that he presented the chalice. As we left church he expressed to me that something he didn't expect was how emotional he was. He spoke to Deacon Greg Kandra, which the Deacon wrote about in a blog post.
We hope to attend the Archbishop Harry J. Flynn Catechetical Institute for a two-year program this fall together, as a step toward discerning where this is all leading us. One thing we both believe is that, just as in that Column I wrote last fall, as we walked the path around the beautiful lake and listened to the breeze move the branches in the tall trees rushing like a wave reminding us of the movement of the Holy Spirit, we know that He will direct us on this path.

Work from Prof Jim Anderson's group has appeared as a Featured Article and on the front cover of J. Org. Chem.
17 May 2011
The paper details the groups most recent developments of the nitro-Mannich reaction. In this paper the observation that the three-component coupling reaction between imines, nitro alkenes, and diakylzincs was heterogeneous in diethyl ether led to the formation of either of two diastereoisomers by judicious choice of solvent. The reaction forms 2 carbon-carbon bonds and controls 3 contiguous stereocentres in one reaction vessel.

Oft-injured cornerback eager to get first taste of game action since 2009 season
San Diego State cornerback J.J. Whittaker hasn't played in a regular-season football game since the fall of 2009.
Whittaker instead has become intimately familiar with the Aztecs' training room.
"I'm in the training room every day, and I'm on a first-name basis with everyone in there," Whittaker said.
After ACL tears in back-to-back years, and a broken scapula that came at the end of fall camp in 2012 — he collided with tight end Gavin Escobar in a freak accident — the Oceanside High alum is finally healthy to start his redshirt junior season.
A good thing, too, because the Aztecs need his skills this year more than ever before.
SDSU returns nine starters to what might be one of the best defenses in the program's recent history.
But after a fruitless effort to fill the two cornerback positions this spring, the Aztecs enter fall camp desperate to erase those question marks.
Mahbu Keels and Pierre Romain are listed as the starters on the preseason depth chart, but SDSU cornerbacks coach Tony White said that means nothing.
"We had to put out a (depth chart), and we just put them on the list," White said. "Right now, the thing I'm seeing is that there's gonna be a lot of guys who are gonna play."
A cornerback rotation would be the opposite of what the Aztecs had in 2012, when Leon McFadden and Josh Wade started all but one game between them. (King Holder started over Wade against Hawaii because the senior was nursing an injury.)
In hindsight, White said, he's partly to blame for the Aztecs' current inexperience at cornerback.
"The one thing we've always done around here is rotate guys in. That way, we would never have had this situation," White said. "Even with Leon's class, he played as a freshman, but we had Jose Perez, Romeo (Horn) and Larry Parker. We had other guys coming in and out.
"But with Josh and Leon, we didn't have any other guys except King Holder in there, which is completely my fault."
If Whittaker can get through camp in one piece, it's a good bet that he'll be a focal point of the cornerback rotation in 2013.
White said he's willing to use anywhere from two to six cornerbacks depending on who proves their worth.
On paper, Holder should have an edge in that race.
"You can see King's experience, but you can also see why he's not the starter right now," White said. "He's doing things he shouldn't be doing, having played. He'll make you a big play, but he's also gonna give up two plays.
"I want to see consistency with him."
It's pretty much the same with all the other contenders.
Keels, Romain, Damontae Kazee and David Lamar "show their inexperience, but at other times, they show their athleticism," White said.
Don't rule out freshmen Kalan Montgomery and Billy Vaughn Jr., either.
White said it's too early to assess their game readiness because they haven't practiced with full pads yet, but added that "both are as athletic, if not more so, than the rest of the bunch."
For now, Whittaker retains a slim lead in the competition, but he needs to break his three-year streak of bad luck and stay healthy through the season opener.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) - The New York Jets have placed rookie wide receiver Stephen Hill on injured reserve, ending his season because of a knee injury.
Hill started his season off strong with five catches for 89 yards and two touchdowns in the season opener against Buffalo, but struggled with a strained right hamstring and didn't record another reception until five weeks later. He finished with 21 catches for 252 yards and three scores.
The Jets promoted defensive back Donnie Fletcher from the practice squad Wednesday to take Hill's roster spot.

News Release: Associated Press News
SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. (AP) -- A man who stopped to help a wreck victim in metro Atlanta ended up getting his vehicle stolen at gunpoint.
Gustavo Carmona told reporters that he was driving south on Georgia 400 in Sandy Springs when he saw a BMW lose control and hit the median wall early Thursday. He stopped to help. But the driver pulled a gun and demanded Carmona's van. Carmona says he thought he was going to die.
Sandy Springs police say they found Carmona's van undamaged Friday in Gwinnett County and returned it to him. Police found two semi-automatic weapons, a machete and ammunition in the wrecked BMW. Police say the BMW was not stolen and they know who owns it.
Carmona says he doubts he will stop any more to help wrecked motorists.

|System and Method For Facet Joint Replacement with Detachable Coupler - A facet joint replacement system includes an inferior implant with an inferior articular surface, and a superior implant with a superior articular surface. The implants may be coupled together by a detachable coupler which can align and rigidly hold the inferior and superior articular surfaces in a preferred alignment relative to one another. A portion of the coupler may be deformable to allow detachment of the coupler from at least one of the implants. In one method of implantation, the superior and inferior implants may be aligned and coupled together with the coupler, and then secured to fixation members anchored in adjacent vertebrae. Alternatively, a first implant may be secured to a fixation member anchored in a first vertebra, and a second implant coupled to the coupler, aligned with the first implant and then secured to a fixation member anchored in a second vertebra.

This view shows enzymes only for those organisms listed below, in the list of taxa known to possess the pathway. If an enzyme name is shown in bold, there is experimental evidence for this enzymatic activity.
Synonyms: glyoxalase pathway, methylglyoxal catabolism
|Degradation/Utilization/Assimilation → Aldehyde Degradation
|Detoxification → Methylglyoxal Detoxification
Some taxa known to possess this pathway include : Escherichia coli K-12 substr. MG1655, Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Expected Taxonomic Range:
General Background
Methylglyoxal is produced in small amounts during glycolysis (via glycerone phosphate), fatty acid metabolism (via acetone), and protein metabolism (via aminoacetone). Methylglyoxal is highly toxic, most likely as a result of its interaction with protein side chains (see [Kalapos99] for a review). There are several pathways for the detoxification of methylglyoxal, based on different enzymes that are able to convert methylglyoxal to less toxic compounds. These enzymes include glyoxalase enzymes, methylglyoxal reductases, aldose reductases, aldehyde reductases and methylglyoxal dehydrogenases.
About This Pathway
The most common pathway for methylglyoxal detoxification is the glyoxalase system, which is composed of two enzymes that together convert methylglyoxal to (R)-lactate in the presence of glutathione (see methylglyoxal degradation I).
However, a single enzyme, glyoxylase III, which was discovered in Escherichia coli K-12, is able to catalyze this conversion in a single step without involvement of glutathione [Misra95]. Activity of glyoxylase III increases at the transition to stationary phase and expression is dependent on RpoS, suggesting that this pathway may be important during stationary phase [Benov04].
Superpathways: superpathway of methylglyoxal degradation
Variants: methylglyoxal degradation I, methylglyoxal degradation III, methylglyoxal degradation IV, methylglyoxal degradation V, methylglyoxal degradation VI, methylglyoxal degradation VII, methylglyoxal degradation VIII

Immelt Shows GE Has Learned Its Lessons
TheStreet) -- General Electric (GE - Get Report) is preparing a spinoff of its U.S. consumer finance business, according to a Wall Street Journal report, which will take the company way beyond CEO Jeff Immelt's previous plans to shore up GE Capital. According to the report, GE will spin off the unit through a public offering, which is being worked on by JPMorgan Chase (JPM - Get Report) and Goldman Sachs (GS - Get Report).Spinning off the U.S. consumer finance business would lower GE Capital's assets by $50.2 billion. More importantly, it would lower unused credit commitments by over $275 billion, greatly strengthening the finance unit's liquidity profile. Most of the consumer finance assets to be spun off are private label credit card accounts, in partnerships with retailers, including Wal-Mart (WMT - Get Report) and Gap (GPS - Get Report) unit Banana Republic. GE Capital had $515.5 billion in total assets as of June 30, declining from $558.8 billion a year earlier. At the end of 2008, GE Capital had total assets of $660.9 billion. GE Capital had traditionally relied on commercial paper for funding, but late in 2008 liquidity dried up and the unit was forced to rely on the Federal Reserve's Commercial Paper Funding Facility and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.'s temporary guarantees of newly issued long-term debt. GE Capital's ending net investment (ENI), excluding non-interest bearing liabilities, cash and equivalents, was $391.2 billion, declining from $402 billion the previous quarter. The company had been saying its ENI goal was $300 billion to $400 billion, but Immelt at a conference in May set a new ENI goal of $300 to $350 billion. The unit also improved its liquidity profile, with $48.6 billion of bank deposits gathered through its bank subsidiaries, increasing from $36 billion at the end of 2008. GE Capital has traditionally been in the business of providing financing to General Electric's industrial customers, providing support for the parent company's sales efforts, while making the most of customer relationships. But consumer finance receivables totaled $110.9 billion as of June 30, or 43% of the unit's total finance receivables of $262,380. Spinning off the U.S. credit card and consumer installment loan receivables would lower finance receivables by $50.2 billion, while also lowering the company's long-term liquidity exposure by removing a whopping $276.8 billion in unused consumer revolving credit lines. GE CFO Keith Sherin said during GE's first-quarter earnings call in April that "we have got over $60 billion of non-core assets. We continue to run those off." With GE Capital's ENI declining by roughly $11 billion during the second quarter, there's roughly $49 billion in noncore assets continuing to run off, and a completed spinoff of another $50 billion in U.S. consumer loans would be the icing on the cake.NEW YORK (

Can You Imagine?
What Do You Do With a Tail Like This?
by Steve Jenkins and Robin Page
Readers can explore the many amazing things animals can do with their ears, eyes, mouths, noses, feet, and tails in this beautifully illustrated interactive guessing book.
Perfect Square by Michael Hall
A perfect square that is perfectly happy is torn into pieces, punched with holes, crumpled, and otherwise changed but finds in each transformation that it can be something new, and just as happy.
Press Here by Hervé Tullet; [translated by Christopher Franceschelli]
Instructs the reader on how to interact with the illustrations to create
imaginative images.
Open-ended Questions for What Do You Do With a Tail Like This?:
·What do you think it means that the scorpion's tail gives a nasty sting?·What can you do with your hands? mouth? ears? eyes?
Hello, My Name Is Joe
(Encourage kids to use their imagination and pretend that they work in a button factory)
Hello my name is Joe
And I work in a button factory
I have a house, and a dog, and a family
One day, my boss said to me,
"Hey Joe, are you busy?"
I said, "No".
He said "Turn the button with one hand."
Repeat above, each time adding a new motion and exchanging the last line with…
·He said "Turn the button with two hands."
·He said "Turn the button with one foot."
·He said "Turn the button with two feet."
·He said "Turn the button with your head."
On the last repeat, say:
One day, my boss said to me, "Hey Joe, are you busy?"
I said, "YES!"
What Do You See?
Print photographs of things that are familiar to the students in your classroom. Then take a piece of cardstock and cut a hole in the center. Place it over the pictures and see if the students can guess what the picture is. Then remove the cover to show the complete photograph.
Vocabulary Word:
sting: v. to hurt with a stinger
"If you're a scorpion, your tail can give a nasty sting."
(taken from "What Do You Do With a Tail Like This?" by Steve Jenkins & Robin Page)
Graphing Favorite Books
After reading the different books that use your imagination, make a graph using pictures of the front cover of the books. Let the students decide what book was their favorite and then graph their responses. This is a great way to let the students' voices be heard about what they liked or didn't like.
Fingerprint Pictures
Using washable ink, make several of each child's fingerprints on a blank sheet of paper. Then let the students' imaginations go and encourage them to turn the fingerprints into animals, people, faces or whatever you can think of. Have several examples done so the kids can see some possibilities.
Be a Scent Detective
Fill plastic film canisters with a cotton ball soaked with a strong liquid scent (vanilla, almond, peppermint, vinegar, etc.) Number the canisters, and make a list of which scent is in which canister, so you won't forget which is which. Talk with the students about the sense of smell and how it helps us. Pass around one canister at a time until each child has a canister. Ask them to guess what their smells are.

The latest salvo on the regular workers at MoDOT. Now that the cuts are underway, MoDOT's top dogs revealed that 270 Maintenance Supervisors will be reduced to 35. That means 235 of them will be demoted to Crew Leaders or lower, and then the domino effect will go on down from there. Many of the lowest paid "boots on the ground" workers will get pay cuts. Until today, they were led to believe their jobs were the most secure. Meanwhile, the upper echelon making $90,000 to $160,000 will still have their jobs, regardless of how useless the jobs are (for example Assistant Customer Relations Director and the newly created Assistant Chief Engineer). Taxpayers of Missouri, do you really want to allow this to happen to your neighbors who take care of your highways first-hand? It's time to get through to your government leaders to put a stop to this ill-conceived plan.
In April 2004, newspapers reported that MoDOT blamed their previous bond-selling as the reason they were dangerously low on funds, so they wisely stopped selling at $900 million of the $2.5 billion authorized, leaving them with payments of $74 million a year. Six months later a new director was hired, Amendment 3 was passed, and forgetting their recent lesson, they took off on their biggest bond-selling spree ever. Now they are paying $274 million a year, all entirely avoidable since they weren't required by Amendment 3 to sell more bonds. Now we have the Bolder Five Year Plan, which will keep the MoDOT elite and their consultants and contractors laughing all the way to the bank, courtesy of the backs of MoDOT's rank and file workers.
In response to:
Opponents battle MoDOT's numbers
Job cuts, service at center of debate
Opponents of the state Transportation Department's downsizing plan argued last Wednesday it created substantially more job and service cuts in the northeastern and southeastern regions of Missouri than in the two metropolitan areas.

Expunge Driving Record PointsAvailability of this option depends on your state and, in some cases, your violation. You'll need to check with your state's DMV to see if "cleansing" your driving record options exist.
If it does, follow the requirements exactly. In some cases this may involve enrolling in some sort of course related to your violation. A traffic ticket or a speeding ticket will require attending a defensive driving program. And a DUI or DWI conviction will necessitate enrolling in a defensive driving course and, possibly, a substance abuse program.
Again, check with your state for specifics. Each state is different. In Maryland, for example, all driving records are expunged every three years of all convictions except for DUI and leaving the scene of an accident. And drivers who can't wait that long, are permitted to submit an expungement request, without any course requirements.
The status of your driving record carries many ramifications. A DUI on your driving record could make a potential employer think twice about hiring you, or permanently brand you as a "red flag driver" in the eyes of insurance companies. So it's in your best interest to do all you can to cleanse your driving record, especially if it involves DUI. You should even consider hiring a DUI lawyer.

City Photography: tips for taking pictures of buildings with maximum impact
City photography tips for during the shoot
Pick the right priority
"I've learned that shutter speed is less important than aperture when using a tripod," says Howard. "Choosing Aperture Priority mode gave me the best control over the f‑stop setting."
See in black and white
"Want to see what a scene looks like in black and white before you shoot it? Here's a great tip I picked up from Paul. If you change the camera's Picture Style to Monochrome, the LCD shows the shots I've just taken in shades of grey. As long as I shoot in RAW I'll still record the image in full colour and I can then convert the image more artistically later."
Look for abstract details
Howard's always loved capturing buildings. "There's something about the interplay of lines and perspective," he explains. "You get similar effects occurring naturally, but it's easier to see with buildings."
Howard particularly likes abstract details, such as the railing and shadows at the museum that he's focusing on here…
Use your histogram
The combination of highly-reflective modern architecture and bright fluffy clouds made nailing a good exposure a real problem for Howard. Then Paul told him about histograms. "I'd used them in Photoshop, but never on my camera," explains Howard. By using enough exposure compensation to avoid the graph piling up to the right, burn-out was banished!

Blair Oaks cruises with 43-18 win
Saturday, September 15, 2012
ASHLAND, Mo. — One day removed from his birthday, it was Derek Otto who was in a mood to hand out presents.
Otto scored four touchdowns Friday, one of them coming when he took the opening kickoff back 95 yards, to lead the Blair Oaks Falcons to a 43-18 win over the Southern Boone Eagles.
The senior added touchdown runs of 4 and 10 yards and also caught a 77-pass from Daniel Castillo for a score.

Mirror tricks:
Here's a trick I learned from my mother's house in Tennessee: Mirrors and other reflective items, when used correctly, can give the illusion of a larger space.
Mirrors increase the visual space of a room, but any reflective surface will do.
I found a long frameless mirror at Wal-Mart and used a circle mirror kit from Target to embellish around it with a few smaller mirrors. I used the rest of the kit for other spaces around the room. My room looked larger instantly.
Budget watch:
Decorating can get pricey, especially when it comes to wall décor, but it does not have to cost a fortune to cover bare walls. Most students don't have a lot of money, so buying from thrift stores like Goodwill or consignment shops could fit into their budget, Ison says. Your wallet will thank you for it.
Functioning décor:
Dual-purpose items are the friends of small spaces. This type of wall décor mixes style and functionality, making them win-win purchases.
I am partial to analog clocks. I think it adds a vintage sophistication to my space — and it keeps me running on time.

Slow moving and wet pretty much describes this one. Regardless of how much snow stacks up, this one will produce decent moisture for all of Southern Colorado. Pretty favorable track with this storm, as you can see above. It takes the upper level low through northern New Mexico and wraps cold air and moisture into our area. Specific snow totals are always tricky here in Southern Colorado, especially during March and April. We have to factor in the longer days, the warmer ground, and usually the lack of deep cold air. This one will have enough cold air to produce snow, but we will also have to deal with the problems that a strong north wind create. I.E. Snow minimum from Colorado Springs to Pueblo. Check out our potential totals below:
As you can see, the big winners with this storm will be elevations above 6500 feet. This could potentially include northern and western Colorado Springs, where 6-12 inches may fall. Downtown and southern Colorado Springs should see quite a bit less. There is always time to change, and it should be noted that energy and moisture will not be in short supply with this storm. If the storm ends up stronger, then the lift it will provide may overcome some of the downsloping off the Palmer Divide and produce more snow for Colorado Springs and Pueblo. Seems unlikely, but stranger things have happened.

Hochevar consistently inconsistent
Royals look for more wins from starter
Monday, February 18, 2013
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Luke Hochevar is a paradox.
"You break down Luke's starts last season, half of them were at the top of the league," Royals manager Ned Yost said Sunday. "The other half were at the bottom of the league. So it's just inconsistency."
Hochevar had an 8-0 record with a 2.38 ERA in the 13 starts he made that Kansas City won, according to STATS LLC. The top pick in the 2006 amateur draft was 0-16 with an 8.47 ERA in the 19 of his starts the Royals lost.
He wasn't streaky, either. He won consecutive starts just once, against Houston and Tampa Bay in mid-June. Hochevar didn't lose three in a row until his final outings of the season.
"I'd have a really good game and the next game would be terrible," he said. "I'm thinking what the heck is the difference? I feel like mentally it's the exact same, my approach is the exact same, my focus is the exact same. And something was happening. It was feast or famine last year."
The Royals' opening-day starter in 2011, Hochevar finds himself competing with Bruce Chen and Luis Mendoza for the No. 5 slot in the rotation.
"I think he's capable of winning 15 to 18 games in the American League," Yost said. "Is it there? Yeah, it's there. Has it been consistent? No, not really. We have to get a point where he can consistently be a productive performer every five days. I think he's going to do it this year. He's got great stuff. He's a smart kid. Sooner or later all those things are going to come together for him and he's going to be successful. He's got too many plusses for it not all add up in the end."
It hasn't happened yet.
Hochevar finished 8-16 last year, gave up an AL-high 127 runs and had a 5.73 ERA, second-worst among qualifiers and ahead of only Toronto's Ricky Romero at 5.77.
"I'm not going to sit here and make excuses," Hochevar said. "I own last year. I own everything. I'm not going to run from it. I understand the things I need to do to be consistent and to have that big year, that I expect and that everybody expects. I'm just as excited to get everything rocking and rolling."
Opponents hit .318 off him with runners in scoring position. With no one on base, it dropped to .260.
"When I get in stressful situations or from the stretch when I try to step on the gas, I get a soft front side," Hochevar said. "The ball comes out flat, I usually miss location, make a bad pitch and whack."
Hochevar spent the offseason watching video of his stretch delivery and is focused on fixing flaws.
"So now when I do step on the gas, reach back for a second gear, my execution is still good," Hochevar said. "It's something I've really worked on."
He began last season as the No. 2 starter behind left-hander Bruce Chen. After the Royals acquired right-handers James Shields, Ervin Santana and Wade Davis in offseason trades and re-signed Jeremy Guthrie, Hochevar has plunged down the potential pecking order.
"I don't get caught up in that," Hochevar said. "It's not the first time I've fought for a spot in the rotation. It's not like unfamiliar ground. I'm more locked into my approach and what I need to do to help this club, more so than who is going to have the last spot. I need to pitch to my ability to help this club. If I don't, it's on me."
Notes: Chen and Mendoza are to start a Tuesday intrasquad game, while Hochevar and rookie LHP John Lamb are scheduled to start the Wednesday game. ... OF Lorenzo Cain hurt his right hand in drills and was held out of batting practice. ... LHP Everett Teaford, who had held out of recent drills because of a tender shoulder, is scheduled to resume throwing today.

Summer Girl!
When I think of a princess the image of Cinderella immediately pops into my mind. Specifically, that famous scene where the clock strikes midnight and Cinderella races to her chariot leaving behind her one glass slipper. If you've seen the classic Disney Film (Cinderella, 1950) or know the story, then you know Cinderella had to leave as she was going to change back into a normal girl, as foretold by her fairy godmother. You see, Cinderella shares something very special with our wish children; she wishes to be a princess, just like Summer.
Summer; the warmest season of the year, and the warmest 5 year old kid you'll ever have the joy of meeting. Summer is the youngest in her family of six, and the special little princess. She loves swimming, her dog Jax and being active in gym at school. But most specifically, Summer is captivated by the glamourous life of a princess. This has inspired her most treasured wish - a special trip to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Disney World. It's a magical beauty salon where little girls can make their dream of becoming a princess come true!
The Miss Teen Newfoundland & Labrador Pageant is raising $10,000 to grant Summer's wish, as part of "Exile Island" this September 26th. These real life princesses are coming together for the second year in a row, determined to grant yet another child's wish here in our province. These community-minded, well-rounded young women with integrity, strong academic & leadership skills, will prove to be unshakable competitors to the other tribes. They are resolute in not only granting Summer's wish but also in taking the crown as the winning tribe of Exile Island 2014.
Let's help grant this ideal escape for Summer and her family, away from the day to day management of Summer's life threatening illness - Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
You can help send Summer to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Disney World.

By: Stephen A. Crockett Jr. Posted: June 18 2014 8:28 AM 0 Jasmyne Keyonia Davis Johnson County (N.C.) Sheriff's Office North Carolina police arrested a teen after she called 911 because she was upset that her mother had grounded her and taken away her cellphone. According to ABC 11 News, police arrived at 16-year-old Jasmyne Keyonia Davis' home a little after midnight Tuesday after the emergency operators received a call from a female who was reportedly screaming and crying.

Neighbors told the news station that Jasmyne "had been going through typical teenage rough patches with her mom that escalated recently with several police visits to their home."

With the pressure of a first win off its back and the Highway 54 sign back in its locker room, the Fulton Hornets football team can now move on to more pressing matters.
Those matters? Stringing together consecutive wins for the first time in three seasons and improving its positioning for the start district play next week under the state's new playoff system.
Fulton travels to Kirksville tonight for its regular-season finale, a North Central Missouri Conference tilt against the Tigers. Kickoff is set for 7.
"We broke through last week and we just want to try and keep the momentum and the consistency," Hornets head coach Pat Kelley said during Thursday's walk-through practice at Robert E. Fisher Jr. Stadium. "Kirksville is a tough place to play, another tough conference school and we've just been emphasizing that all week. Staying consistent."

Single TeriTeri Hatcher is convinced she will be single forever.
The 'Desperate Housewives' actress admits she can't find a man no matter how hard she seems to try and is starting to believe she will never meet 'Mr Right'.
Teri - who has a nine-year-old daughter from her ex-husband Jon Tenney - said: "It's almost coming to the point where I'm resigned to be a single parent. I don't have that much time to meet men when I'm looking after my daughter. I guess I'm going to have to wait until some wonderful guy sweeps me off my feet."
Although she can't find a man, the 42-year-old actress is adamant she isn't ever going to stop looking.
She added: "I feel like I'm in the same position as every other 42-year-old single mother. I'm going to have a hard time finding the good guys out there. I'm not giving up hope though. I really believe that I'm going to find a great man."
Teri has previously been linked to George Clooney and 'American Idol' host Ryan Seacrest.

Company News: Pure Play Media Releases Immoral Productions' Third 'Fluffers' Volume
Published: August 24, 2010
Fluffers, the most noble and caring women on the face of the earth, have gone on nationwide search to seek out girls who are altruistic enough...
Movies: We Suck 3
The keyword is "We"… 7 of the 8 scenes feature two girls generously sharing the cocks of Jake's lucky chosen studs. Director Malone comments from behind the camera, coaxing the girls through lesbian encounters to make certain the lovelies are horny and hungry. This is just the appetizer, prepping them (and us) for the entrée which comes (and comes!) with the arrival of a fully hard and ready-for-action man. There's no time wasted in Malone's world of instant gratification. Marcos Banderas gets his shaft sucked by two natural breasted cuties including Asian delight London Keys, who deep throats with some help from Natasha Nice, forcing her pal's head for maximum gag effect. Both ladies get their just desserts, hungrily lapping and sperm swapping while the director greets the assembled fuckers, "Welcome to Jake's House of Hardcore!" With Malone, we know to expect some fetish twists and wacky segues. Stephanie and Jesse have fun shooting a machine gun from the sunny balcony into the canyons surrounding his California lair. Why? To establish that these two are "bad-ass bitches" who spank, lick asshole and subserviently crawl on all fours in their approach to the cock that Jake provides for them to suck in every imaginable position, including head hanging upside down while Malone's gloved hand fondles the young nubiles. Francesca and Tara are the experienced, spit-laden gaggers who play rough with each other and then treat Steven to a tit-fucking good time. Blonde Bridgette B. and her massive boobs carry the movie's only one-on-one scene ... it starts as an outdoor romp with Marco but soon morphs into a real POV with the gorgeous BB talking dirty, staring right into the camera and creating that sensation that it's the viewer getting the ultimate suck-off by a brown-eyed, big-titted blonde. She keeps those eyes open while draining every drop of cum past her pretty mouth and down her open throat. Likewise, Lily and Michelle suck Joe's balls and cock with the same cum-drenching abandon we've cum to expect. Sophie and Leslie's segment is a fetish kidnap fantasy with buxom Brit Sophie as a hooded witch dominant. Sophie runs roughshod over Leslie, who's chomping at the bit (literally chomping on a horse bit) while receiving electrical shock to her nipples. Her training complete, she's rewarded with more humiliation and a mouthful of Lee's big, black cock. Sophie shows her how to suck that cock and then whips her ass while she takes her turn in slavery to the black cock. Her basted face finale is a blow job fan's delight. Lithe and lean Emy and Tessa deliver a change-up with a nice, fun POV-style suck for Joe Blow… and then the finale: Jake regulars Allie Haze and Gracie Glam are dressed to the nines in thigh high boots, fishnets and satin gloves for a stylized send-off that ends with a double facial and a lingering camera shot on two of the cutest cum-splattered faces ever… We lick. We spank. We gag. We swallow. We Suck.

|Head-body length: 91 - 191 cm (2)
Tail length: 58 - 110 cm (2)
Male weight: 37 - 90 kg (2)

Typically, they have short legs and a powerful stocky frame, uniquely patterned with black rosettes on the back, flanks, shoulders and haunches and black spots and blotches on the head, throat, chest and belly (2) (4) (5). The background colour of their distinctive coat ranges from pale yellow to deep gold, with the exception of the underparts which are white from the chin to the tail (4) (5). The pattern of rosettes, spots and blotches extends to the tip of a long tail, which measures between 60 to 75 percent of the head and body length (4). The skull is conspicuously large in proportion to the rest of their body and allows for the powerful jaw muscles required to take larger prey (5).
The largest population of Persian leopards is found in Iran, with smaller populations occurring in Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey, Russian North Caucasus and possibly in Pakistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan (1) (6) (7).
The Persian leopard mainly inhabits remote and mountainous areas including dry, arid environments through to lush, deciduous forests and snowy ranges up to an altitude of 3,200 metres (5) (8).
Leopards in general have a broad diet and are able to adapt to fluctuations in availability of prey (4). Consequently, the diet of the Persian leopard varies throughout its range. In Iran, Armenia and Turkmenistan, bezoar goats, wild boar and mouflon (wild sheep) form the bulk of the leopard's diet (5) (7) (9). Leopards hunt by using vantage points, such as trees and rocky outcrops, to locate prey and then stealthily stalk their target until close enough to pounce (2) (4). They are commonly considered to be nocturnal, but few studies have specifically considered the habits of the Persian leopard. However, in similar regions where large predators such as lions and tigers are absent, leopards are reportedly less nocturnal. Furthermore, as top predator, Persian leopards need be less concerned about concealing prey than their African and central Asian counterparts (4).
Leopards mark their well defined territories in a variety of ways such as ground scraping, urine spraying and tree scratching (10). Although normally solitary, males will sometimes remain with females for short periods following mating (2). The reproductive season is year round, but peaks during the winter, with one to four cubs being born following a gestation period of 90 to 105 days. The cubs reach independence and separate from their mother at 13 to 18 months, living for on average 10 to 15 years but potentially as long as 20 (5).
The relatively large geographic range of the Persian leopard belies its low overall population size. In 2005, it was estimated that less than 1,300 cats were left in the wild and these were to be found in small and increasingly fragmented populations (2) (5) (6). Historically, the Persian leopard was much more widespread in southwest Asia but hunting, habitat destruction and a decline in prey populations have seen their numbers plummet (2) (6) (7). In Afghanistan, the leopard fur trade is still rampant and ongoing civil unrest is further exacerbating the plight of these cats (6). The situation in Armenia is slightly different with human disturbance arising from livestock breeding and other farming practices having the largest impact (9). In Iran, which supports between 550 and 850 Persian leopards, shooting and poisoning of cats occurs in an effort to alleviate predation on livestock (7). This is not widespread, but makes a substantial impact on the viability of fragmented populations by forcing population sizes below a sustainable threshold (8).
The Persian leopard is classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List and in the absence of targeted conservation faces a very real threat of extinction in the wild (1) (9). Currently there are only a small number of documented projects in Iran, Armenia and Georgia striving to develop targeted conservation strategies for these leopards. These include gathering basic biological data, enlargement of existing protected areas, maintenance of habitat corridors through which leopards can move, and education of local communities to increase public awareness and concern for the species' survival (6) (7) (9) (10).
