Several national laboratories and institutions have joined forces to develop and apply the most complete climate and Earth system model to address the most challenging and demanding climate change issues.
Accelerated Climate Modeling for Energy, or ACME, is designed to accelerate the development and application of fully coupled, advanced Earth system models for scientific and energy applications.
Fourteen institutions will work together to develop the most accurate climate change predictions yet and investigate fundamental questions, such as the interaction of clouds and climate and the role of secondary organic aerosols. The partners include eight national laboratories — Sandia, Argonne, Brookhaven, Lawrence Berkeley, Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, Pacific Northwest — along with the National Center for Atmospheric Research, four academic institutions and one private sector company.

Three Lawrence Livermore researchers have received the Department of Energy's 2014 Hydrogen Production R&D Award for their research in producing hydrogen photoelectrochemically − by splitting water using sunlight.
Shared with collaborators from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), the award recognizes the team for its work developing models of photoelectrochemical solar-hydrogen production and corrosion processes.
These models have been crucial in the development of corrosion mitigation strategies for high-efficiency devices based on III-V semiconductor materials, offering a viable pathway to meet DOE's ultimate cost targets in renewable hydrogen production.

The big news this past week was the formal dedication of NNSA's new National Security Campus (NSC) in Kansas City, Missouri. The Kansas City plant manufactures or purchases 85 percent of the non-nuclear components that make up our nuclear weapons, and thus plays a huge role in keeping the nation's stockpile safe, secure, and effective. Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz and I were on hand for the dedication, along with members of Congress, local leaders, and employees of the field office and plant.
This dedication represents not only the successful execution of a major project, but also the replacement of badly aging infrastructure. Previously, Kansas City Plant (KCP) employees were working in the Bannister Federal Complex, a 70-year-old facility originally built to manufacture aircraft engines during World War II. The building was home to KCP for 64 years, however, annual operations costs were growing with the age of the facility.
To address this problem, NNSA worked with the General Services Administration (GSA) to obtain a new campus through a public-private partnership, which enabled a developer to build and deliver the NSC at a cost and schedule far less than the government could have otherwise achieved.
The relocation from the Bannister Federal Complex to the NSC, which began in January 2013, was one of the Nation's largest industrial moves. The relocation teams safely and securely moved a wide range of equipment including tools weighing as little as six ounces to a milling machine weighing 87,000 pounds. About 3,000 truckloads transported thousands of pieces of equipment and 40,000 crates. Despite this major effort, the move was completed one month ahead of the original schedule and $10 million under budget. This was a remarkable achievement!
We've got a lot of infrastructure across the nuclear security enterprise that is as old and in need of repair as the Bannister Federal Complex. Our highly skilled and dedicated workforce deserve facilities that are safe and modern, and provide what they need to accomplish their work—work that remains critical to the security of this Nation.
Accordingly, I've made the repair and modernization of our facilities and infrastructure one of NNSA's highest priorities. It'll take time, persistence, and consistent support from Congress. But, our success at Kansas City shows that it can be done.
Finally, a note on safety: On Monday, the nation celebrates Labor Day. Many of us will be on the road for one last trip, or to visit with friends and family over the weekend. Please enjoy; but, please also plan ahead and travel safely.

"Mission first, people always."
Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz and Under Secretary for Nuclear Security and NNSA Administrator Lt. Gen. Frank Klotz today hailed the completion of the new National Security Campus at a dedication ceremony in Kansas City, Mo.
The new facility was completed ahead of schedule, $10 million under budget, and with the site's best safety and security performance on record. The event celebrated the 18-month move to the new facility eight miles south of the old Kansas City Plant. The move involved more than 3,000 truckloads and 40,000 crates.
The $687 million new campus now houses about 2,600 employees and consists of advanced manufacturing, laboratory, office, and warehouse space. The new building reduces energy consumption by more than 50 percent and is one of the first LEED Gold manufacturing campuses. Overall, the new campus will save the government more than $100 million annually.
Deputy Secretary of Energy Daniel Poneman led his band, "Yellow Cake," at "Lollachilipalooza" today to benefit DOE's 2014 Feds Feed Families effort. Poneman was joined by Deputy Chief of Staff Jonathan Levy on drums, Deputy Assistant Secretary Julio Friedman on keyboards, and a special guest appearance featuring the vocal talents of Anna Ruch from the Office of the Secretary.
This summer, DOE employees have contributed more than 150,000 pounds of donations for distribution to local food banks and pantries. DOE's goal this summer is to collect more than 215,000 pounds of food.
DOE and NNSA employees can still participate throughout this month by dropping off non-perishable food, household items and hygiene products in boxes located throughout the Forrestal, Germantown and L'Enfant buildings and field offices.

I wonder how they would look glued onto a square canvas that has been painted a solid color. I think it would make a great grouping.

Really like this fun fall craft and also the previous one too! I have younger kiddos, so I think I'll avoid the oil pastels, but a good substitute is Crayola's Slick Sticks! Have you tried these? They are SO fun to use, and they set in just a few minutes. Thanks for sharing! Happy Fall!

@ Miko's Girl - A canvas display would be really neat, unfortunately we're out of wall space around here. Hubby and I were talking about it at dinner tonight joking that we need a small art gallery in our house to display all of the art work and mixed media pieces we seem to crank out! : )

I am a freelance IT consultant mostly working under one firm. Currently I'm using Google Apps email for my standard email and the firm's email for client emails.
The problem is that my firm's email is horribly archaic. No IMAP, only 10MB mailbox space. I would like to find a way to grab email from both places and rehost it as an IMAP server. I also need replies/emails to appear as if they're coming from the real accounts (no mention of my local mail if possible).
Does Zimbra do this? I was reading about fetchmail, and saw a link for Zimbra while doing so.

Fired nurse says hospice falsified records
San Diego A federal lawsuit made public this week against San Diego Hospice alleged that the organization actively worked to circumvent Medicare reimbursement guidelines and make patients appear sicker than they really were.
It casts a different light on the hospice's problems than the one portrayed in recent months by Kathleen Pacurar, the organization's chief executive officer.
She acknowledged in November that the hospice had made mistakes in admissions out of a sense of compassion for suffering patients. But the lawsuit alleged a far more active role by workers to falsify patient records so they would qualify for Medicare payments.
Through a spokeswoman, the executive declined to comment on the federal lawsuit, except to say that San Diego Hospice was only notified of its existence "in the last 24 hours."
The original version of this story said that the federal government had joined the fired nurse's lawsuit. That determination apparently has not yet been made, and the story has been changed to reflect that.
The suit, filed under the Federal False Claims Act by a former San Diego Hospice nurse, comes as the hospice works in bankruptcy court to liquidate its assets. It plans to transfer most of its 430 current patients and employees to Scripps Health, which stepped forward at the hospice's request to soften the collapse of what was the region's largest provider of end-of-life care.
Chris Van Gorder, chief executive of Scripps Health, said in an email Thursday evening that the lawsuit would not slow down the health giant's move to begin transferring the hospice's patients, and hiring its employees, as soon as possible. He said that Scripps is offering hospice services under its own license, obtained in the last few weeks by purchasing a small operation in Poway.
"We are not purchasing San Diego Hospice nor are we a successor organization," Van Gorder said. "It does not change anything having to do with Scripps' plans because the fact remains that San Diego Hospice is in bankruptcy because they no longer have the funds or cash-flow to remain in business Scripps needs to move forward to make sure that (its) patients referred to San Diego Hospice will not have their care disrupted."
The suit, unsealed Tuesday, was brought by former San Diego Hospice nurse Lori Rachac, who said she was fired in January 2011 after she complained about the facility's lenient policies for admitting patients and engaging in false record-keeping.
One month later, according to the lawsuit, the nurse provided information to the government. That same month, according to previous statements from Pacurar, Medicare began auditing the hospice, a process that led to its financial problems and remains unresolved.
Rachac and one of her lawyers declined to comment Thursday on the suit, as did a prosecutor with the U.S. Attorney's Office in San Diego. A lawyer for the hospice also did not want to comment.
Under the False Claims Act used to file suit against the hospice, citizens are allowed to file claims on behalf of the U.S. government. If they win, plaintiffs can get 15 percent to 30 percent of the total amount of money recovered.
Such suits are always filed under seal and the government is given time to review them and decide if they will join in. It appears the government has not yet decided whether to intervene.
In November, Pacurar cited an "open access" policy by the hospice to extend care to many patients who did not technically meet Medicare's guidelines. At the time, the government did not question billings for reimbursement, which is about $170 per patient per day, she said.
"Suddenly, there's a policeman there, and they start writing tickets for everybody. It's not like the rules change; they just started being enforced," Pacurar said in November.

Hi. I figured I would start off the June thread with a birth story! DD2 was born last Saturday. What a whirlwind - but we are all doing well.
As I've mentioned before, DD1 was a 33-week premie, so this pregnancy was monitored and had a lot of precautions to avoid that this time around. DD2 was born at 36 1/2 weeks, so I was happy to have made it that far.
Felt fine on Friday, even though it was terribly hot. Took the day off of work to go to the beach with DD1 and have some mommy-daughter time. Little did I know how timely that would be! Got up to go to the bathroom at 2:45am ( like I always do a few times a night!), got back in bed and 10 minutes later my water broke. Very definitively I may add! Sprung out of bed and went into "go-time" mode. Called my mom who came over to be with DD. I took a shower and by the time she got there, we were ready to go. My first labor was fast, so we didn't linger around. Bags were all packed and already in the car. And thank God no traffic at 3:30am on a Saturday! Made it to Brigham & Women's around 4:15 and contractions had intensified and gotten about 1-2 minutes apart. Quickly moved from triage to labor&delivery once they checked me and I was 6cm. My biggest fear at that point was that I was going to miss my epidural. I had no interest in going without one - I hate pain! Things moved really fast and the epidural was done. I could feel DD moving into the birth canal as they were putting the epi in my back. Not fun! As soon as the epi was in it was push time. Baby's heartrate was not tolerating the contractions and kept going down. I did not want an emergency c-section, so I went into some crazy-hyper pushing mode. They put an oxygen mask on me and I pushed like crazy and she was born in about 4 contractions and 10 minutes after my epidural! 3 hours almost to the minute after my water broke at home. I pushed so hard I even broke a small blood vessel on my face! But she is absolutely perfect and weighed in at 6 pounds 1 ounce and we are just simply overjoyed.
I've never had the experience of bringing home a 2-day old before, so a lot of things this week have felt like first-time parent things even though it is my second child. DD1 was in the NICU for 22 days after birth and this is a whole new world. In a good way. I'm overwhelmed by how lucky we are to have the miracle of a happy healthy baby!
I hope everyone else is doing well. Siena - not much longer for you too! SSbride - those are awesome weights for twins! Simply amazing!

Either the gearbox or the motor itself are cooked, I don't know. The motor isn't shorted and each pair of wires has similar resistance, but it just makes a faint buzzing noise and heats up.
The exact model number in CA and the part is a 990341.
I know some motors can be rebuilt but who to send this to?

I'm not very knowledgeable in this area, so please excuse my ignorance. Im interested in learning more about how Zimbra does its calendaring and scheduling. Specifically, the process of creating a resource and then, allowing that resource to respond to scheduling requests.
The background for this, not related to Zimbra, or mail service at all, is that Im looking for a component to use for an online visitor scheduling application. Basically, the resources would be visiting rooms, and I would have some front-end business logic that decides if people are allowed to visit, and gather information. This front end application would then send a scheduling request to actually reserve the resource.
If anyone can point me to the right direction, Im looking to see if therere some standards protocols for scheduling requests, if theres an open source java component that handles the creation of resources and reservation of that resource.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

A public red carpet screening of �Kunta Kinteh Island: Coming Home Without Shackles,� a documentary that traces the life of legendary Mandinka Warrior Kunta Kinteh, his journey to America, his brutal enslavement and his triumphant survival, will be held from 7 to 10 p.m. Sunday at the North Carolina History Center.
�There�s an excitement for history in Eastern North Carolina, and we saw �Kunta Kinteh Island� as an opportunity that exposed our community to a story we've never seen before,� said Sharon Bryant, African-American outreach coordinator at Tryon Palace.
The documentary also will be shown at the Jones County Community Development Center at 10 a.m. Saturday in Trenton. There is no charge for the events.
Kunta Kinteh gained worldwide recognition in the 1977 ABC television series, �Roots,� based on a novel by author Alex Haley.
The film was made to educate a new generation of Americans about the life of Kunta Kinteh and as a philanthropic effort to raise funds for the Albreda Jeffereh Primary School in his impoverished Gambian village.The foundation will provide general funding, books and solar laptops to the primary school.
His legacy is traced through profiles of his relatives in the village of what is now known as Juffereh, Gambia, West Africa. James Island in Gambia is the point of captivity for Kunta and was officially renamed Kunta Kinteh Island on Feb. 6, 2011.
The film is produced by filmmaker Elvin Ross and co-executive produced by Dr. Nathaniel Johnson, a New Bern native and physician who resides in Atlanta, and Berry Bryant.
�It is with great honor that we bring this documentary home to New Bern,� Johnson said. �I am excited to share not just an important piece of history, but the makings of a powerful movement.�

Horizon Lines expands its Transpacific service
August 05, 2010
Horizon Lines, Inc., a leading domestic ocean shipping and integrated logistics company, today announced it has secured two important agreements in the ongoing development of its new Asia liner service.
Horizon Lines has appointed Hon Wing Lam as its owner's representative and Ben Line Agencies as its General Agent to support the company's ongoing sales and operations in Shanghai and Ningbo.
As Horizon Lines owner's representative, Lam brings more than 30 years of ocean transportation experience and spent the past 13 years working in China. Prior to joining Horizon Lines, Lam worked for several leading ocean carriers where, among other things, he managed shipping and logistics in the China trade.
Ben Line Agencies is one of Asia's leading privately-owned shipping services companies. With over 150 years of experience in the shipping industry, the company has established a network of more than 90 owned offices employing 1,500 people across 15 Asian countries. As the general agent for Horizon Lines, Ben Line will support all sales efforts and operations in China.
Beginning on December 13, 2010, Horizon Lines will launch a weekly liner service, called the Five Star Express service, with port calls at Shanghai and Ningbo in Central China and Los Angeles and Oakland in California. Using its five 2,824 twenty-foot equivelent units (TEU) capacity Hunter Class vessels, Horizon Lines will offer some of the fastest transit times in the transpacific trade, including 11-day port-to-port transit from Shanghai to Los Angeles with Monday morning cargo availability every week at the nation/s busiest import gateway.
"The development of our Five Star Express service continues to be on schedule and we are very pleased with partnerships we have formed in China to support this operation," said Brian Taylor, senior vice president, International Services, who noted that shippers are booking freight on the service already.

OK... After a little over 1 yr of using an EQ-G, I have finally joined the "guiding" bandwagon; thus, proceeded to evaluate the pe. Following analysis were done with a C8 + finder scope + 6.3fr + Phillips webcam + PDH module (the webcam was installed on the C8 for ease of the exercise.
The below screen shot is for the unguided run. Basis my scant experience with guiding, looks like the pk-pk pe is 6 arcsec for a little over 1 complete worm cycle, and it also looks like there are lots of higher frequency events going on, as evidenced by the rippled raw data dnd the FFT survey.
Unguided images (less than 2min typ) at 1200fl show fairly round stars, yet my guided images (3min typ) show some irregular star distortion (but no tails). Thus, the aim of this exercise was to find if the source of star distortion is the mount pe or the guiding set-up. So far, I have used the default PDH set-up, except for agressivness (80%).
Any comments are appreciated.

In 2001, the Regional Bicycle Plan was developed as a component of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission's (MTC) 2001 Regional Transportation Plan. The Plan provides resources for agencies, planners and transit agencies and defines planning goals and objectives for bicycle transportation in the Bay Area.
The primary purpose, however, of the Regional Bicycle Plan (RBP) was to designate a system of bicycle routes that would connect counties, access business districts, and connect to transit nodes. These routes are considered to be of "regional significance" and together comprise the Bay Area's Regional Bicycle Network (RBN).
According to an analysis of the Network MTC conducted in 2004, "this network can be seen as providing connectivity between communities to nearly everyone (6 out of 7 people, if connectivity is defined as living within a mile of a portion of the Regional Bike Network)."
So the Network as it is defined is a wonderfully comprehensive transportation system which once finished will no doubt increase the numbers of bicycle trips dramatically. The original Regional Bicycle Plan, published in 2001, documented the region's bicycling environment, identified the links in a regionwide bikeway network and summarized corresponding funding sources. It stated that only 35% of the proposed 1,893 mile network was built; the cost of completing the 2001 Network was estimated to be $1.192 billion.
While the 2001 plan provided an inventory of bicycle facilities at transit facilities, The 2009 Update of the Regional Bicycle Plan further investigated the relationship between bicycling and public transportation in recognition of the importance of bicycle‐accessible transit and transit stations.
The update increased the cost to complete the network to $1.4 billion, stating that 50 percent of the Network's 2,140 miles have been constructed. Included in this cost are pathways on the region's three remaining bicycle‐inaccessible toll bridges; programs to encourage, increase and promote safer bicycling; an analysis of bicycle trip‐making and collision data; summaries of countywide bicycle planning efforts throughout the Bay Area; and documentation of advances in bicycle parking and other technologies.
According to the Regional Transportation Plan 2035: Change in Motion, the regional bicycle network was designated $700 million over 25 years in 2007 dollars ($1 billion when escalated by 2035), or $28 million each year. MTC's 2010 proposal for funding over the next 6 years commits $67 Million which is still short of the $40 Million annually MTC would have to spend to reach $1 Billion by 2035.
Providing a seamless network of safe and convenient bicycle routes is essential if our intent is to increase the numbers of people choosing to bicycle instead of drive. Currently our Network is full of holes, creating confusion and safety risks for even the most hardcore commuters. BABC is working diligently to increase funding for the implementation of this Network.
Sign on to BABC's Regional Transportation Platform and help us save over $1 billion in funding for bicycling.

1970 Dodge Super Bee Restoration Part 3 - Put A Lid On ItWritten by on November 15, 2011 Contributors: Daren Irons Our Project Bee gets closer to paint
The last time we worked on our project Bee, we had already done some rust repair to the wheel tubs of the car, the rear crossmember, and then we replaced the Dutchman panel. This installment takes us to the front of the car so we can make some changes there. Originally, our Bee came with the N96 Ramcharger hood that featured two scoops leading to an underhood "box" that fed cold air to the carburetor. Knowing our planned engine wasn't going to fit under the hood, we were planning to add a hoodscoop to a flat hood that we had gotten, instead of cutting our already-factory-scooped piece.
Deciding what scoop to install was a tough decision, as Mopar offered a couple of different styles that would fit on our Bee. Someone even suggested a Cowl Induction hood, but they were quickly flogged and banished from the garage. What we did finally decide on was a scoop that catches anything in its way, and came on the '68 Super Stock cars--the Hemi A-Body scoop. It's big, in your face, and looks great on our car.
The next decision involved hoodpins. Our car came with factory pins, and although they do look great on a Mopar, we thought that we could find something a little different to give our Bee a cool, modern look without detracting from the rest of the car. What we found were panel latches from a company called Aerocatch. The Aerocatch securing system is a self contained fastener that gives a modern look to an old-school hood securing system. Installing both pieces meant cutting metal, so while these jobs can be completed in a day, making sure of what and where you're cutting before you do it is critical.
Parts is PartsSo, when it comes to the parts we used, what do we think? Let me begin by saying that neither the latches nor the hoodscoop takes a rocket scientist to install, but both items will take some planning and forethought before you start cutting and drilling your hood. That being said, the install of both items was able to be done in a single day. As far as the quality of the parts, when it comes to fiberglass parts for classic Mopars, AAR Quality Fiberglass is known for making some of the best. Our hoodscoop didn't disappoint us, as it needed no fixing or work to make it look great on the car. If we could change one thing, we would suggest that the underside of the scoop be finished in a smooth surface much like their hoods already are.
When it comes to the Aerocatch latches, we really have nothing to compare them to, but still feel that the quality is exceptional. We've heard of knock-offs being made that are inferior to the Aerocatch brand, so buyer beware, and make sure what you're getting. The molded Aerocatch unit's housing is nicely finished without any casting flash, and looks genuinely like a nice piece. The metal pieces inside the housing (hinge pins and spring) are made of stainless steel, and the actual "hood pin" is made of aluminum.

1 From underneath, the center of the carburetor is easy to mark on the bottom of the hood. If you can't get to the underside of the hood, taking measurements of the hood opening and the center of the carburetor is the next best thing.2 Drilling a small pilot hole in the hood let's you see the hole's center from the top side. You can now use the centering hole to mark out whatever hole you need to make. In our case, a hole large enough to fit a 14-inch round air cleaner was all that's needed.3 Before we did any cutting, we placed the AAR Quality Fiberglass scoop on the hood and centered it. Center it on the car, not with the hole you just made. Since all Mopar engines are offset in the engine bay, entering the scoop means that the hole will not be centered so you need to make sure the scoop will cover it.4 To mark the opening to be cut, in our case, room for a 14-inch air cleaner, measure your cut line for the circle from the pilot hole. Start by drilling a hole large enough for the saw blade, and hack away.5 When we marked the location of the scoop, we also marked the locations of the scoop attaching studs, and the holes for the studs can now be drilled.6 If you look closely at the picture, you'll notice our hood has a ridge that runs from front to back. The rear of the scoop needs to be contoured to fit nicely over this ridge.7 With the scoop done, it's time to focus on the modern hoodpins. We started by locating where our opening would be by positioning the supplied template where it fit and looked best. We then used a hole saw to cut the front and rear of the opening, and then jig sawed the center out.8 The actual "pin" for the Aerocatch mechanism mounts in the B-Body's factory location. These are aluminum pins, and might need to be shortened a bit depending on your car.
10a The only thing left was to make a couple of braces for the large scoop opening so the fast moving air doesn't rip it off while we're driving...

West Port staff and students mourn teen who died in crash
Published: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 1:48 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 1:48 p.m.
Staff members and students at West Port High School were in mourning Friday after a student described as very likeable and a hard worker died Thursday in a traffic crash.
Photo Galleries
Brandon Andrew Garner, 16, lost control of the white 2002 Chevy S-10 pickup he was driving on County Road 484 while on his way home from school, according to Florida Highway Patrol troopers. The vehicle hit an oak tree off the side of the roadway, which was wet from rain, troopers said. The crash occurred near Marion Oaks Boulevard.
Garner's truck was heading east in the right lane while a 2010 Hyundai Elantra was traveling the same direction in the left lane. Garner lost control and sideswiped the car before his truck struck the tree, troopers said.
Antonia Santiago, who was driving the Hyundai, said the truck sideswiped her car, went into the air and hit the tree.
Linda Nuccio, a ninth-grade teacher at the school, said Friday that Brandon "touched my heart."
"He really wanted to get good grades," she said. "He was a magnet for other students. I'm going to miss him."
She said Brandon's death has been "difficult" for his classmates.
Coach Ryan Hearn said Brandon played freshman football this past season; he was a linebacker and played defensive line.
"He was a tremendous young man for the school and for our program," Hearn said. "Every day he went out there, he played to the fullest and worked very hard and loved the game."
Asked what he will miss the most about Brandon, the coach replied, "just him as a person."
Principal Jayne Ellspermann said guidance counselors and grief counselors from the school district were available to talk with students Friday and were present at a faculty meeting. She said they are working to make sure everyone — staff and students — was being cared for.
Ellspermann said it was "very hard" for everyone who knew Brandon. "He was a "very likeable student, and those who knew him are devastated. They've lost a friend," she said.
"We want to express our deepest condolences to his family, and our thoughts and prayers are with them," she said, adding that while the school has lost a member of its family, the boy's family has lost a child and a son.
Brandon's parents, who were at the crash scene late Thursday afternoon and were visibly distraught, could not be reached Friday for comment.

Tuesday News, July 17
Plymouth County Under Burn Ban
(Le Mars) -- The hot and dry conditions is impacting the news. To start... as of this morning, Plymouth County is now in a burn ban. Le Mars Fire Chief Dave Schipper says the burn ban is necessary since persistant dry conditions continue. The burn ban forbids any open burning, including trees, trash, and etc. However, backyard grilling and bar-b-ques are allowed.
State Fire Marshall Warns Iowans About Burning
(Des Moines) -- The Iowa Fire Marshall warns Iowans the heat wave experienced the past two weeks is creating a "tinder box" conditions throughout the state. State Fire Marshall Ray Reynolds says one-third of the state is in a burn ban, and he anticipates additional counties to be added to the list within the next few days, unless Iowa receives a significant rainfall to change the present conditions. Reynolds says he can't recall a time since the 1980's when the state saw this level of extreme dryness. The state fire marshall says the state can ill-afford a major fire disaster that could have been prevented with a little help from the public. Reynolds reminds Iowans to use common sense during this dry period. Do not litter and throw lit cigarette from moving vehicles as grass fires ignite easily in dry conditions. Avoid the use of sky laterns, bottle rockets, and other fireworks celebration items involving sparks or flames. Burning of yard waste or piled tree debris is responsibile for causing a majority of wild land fires for Iowa fire departments.

Iowa Crops Continue to Deteriorate
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The condition of Iowa's corn and soybeans continues to deteriorate as summer brings more hot weather and little rain.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture says in Monday's weekly report that only 36 percent of the corn and 38 percent of the soybeans are in good to excellent shape in the widest drought in nearly 25 years.
A year ago, about 80 percent of Iowa's corn and soybeans were in good to excellent condition.
The USDA says most of Iowa's topsoil and subsoil moisture levels are running short or very short, despite widespread rain last week.
Over two inches of rain fell at Grundy Center, while Perry had 3 inches. The statewide average was .28 inches or a-fourth of the weekly normal. No soaking rains are in the immediate forecast.
Iowa D-N-R Reports Streams and Creeks Drying Up
(Des Moines) -- The Iowa Department of Natural Resources is reporting several incidents where streams, creeks, brooks, and ponds are drying up as a result of the extreme dry conditions. The D-N-R is also reporting of several shallow wells that are low on water levels. A dairy operation in northwest Iowa stated that all six of its shallow wells were being pumped and water levels were not keeping up. It was advised that additional wells wee needed to meet their peak demand.
South Sioux City Man Sentenced to 16 Years in Prison
DAKOTA CITY, Neb. (AP) - A South Sioux City man will spend up to 16 years in prison for killing his girlfriend, whose body was found stuffed in a window seat of their home.
54-year-old John Baker was sentenced on Monday to 11 to 16 years in prison for manslaughter and concealing the death of another person. He pleaded guilty in May in Dakota County District Court.
Baker was charged in the death of 47-year-old Kelly Alspach in October 2011.
Baker was later arrested in North Dakota. He was originally charged with second-degree murder but pleaded no contest to the lesser charges.

CHICAGO (AP) - According to historical accounts, Abraham Lincoln's wife slowly went insane after his death and had to be committed to an asylum. But was Mary Todd Lincoln legally insane or just ill?
A "trial" on Lincoln's mental state dug into those questions Monday using modern legal and medical standards. An actor portrayed Mary Todd Lincoln and judges served as attorneys arguing for the two sides. Psychiatrists offered expert testimony. The verdict was not to commit Lincoln and let her remain free.
The people involved in the event say they hope it gives the audience a better sense of changes in the legal system's handling of mental illness and how medicine has evolved to treat it.
Mary Todd Lincoln was committed in 1875, 10 years after her husband's assassination.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Susie Impressive Quality Rug I purchased this rug for a 3 season porch. It will take a lot of sun and potential beverage spills. I didn't want to pay for a high end rug however this looks like one! I think I need to look at more Frontgate rugs. March 4, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by SiliconValleyLady Great entry way carpet Just what I wanted for my entry way. Looks great, feels good on bare feet, and the dirt does not get tracked on to my carpets. May 1, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by SophieandDuke Very poor quality for the price and disappointing I ordered this rug to use in front of my sink because the photograph and description made it appear to be very attractive, durable, and an exceptional value for the money. However, it was very cheaply made. When I received it, the backing on the rug was not applied properly, and parts of it overlapped the rug and were visible when you laid the rug on the floor. Also, the backing was bunched up on one side, which made it impossible for it to lay flat, even if given the opportunity to flatten out with wear over time. It definitely was not worth even the sale price. I appreciated Front Gate's guarantee to return it with free return shipping; however, if you factor in the price of the original shipping and cost to have it packed to return it, it ended up costing about half the price of the rug, so it probably wasn't worth sending back in the long run. Would not buy any of these rugs again. July 30, 2013

REISTERSTOWN, Md. (AP) - Gov. Martin O'Malley says Hurricane Sandy will claim lives in Maryland.
O'Malley said Monday morning that the forecast has worsened for the state, which will now see some of the hurricane's most intense winds.
O'Malley is urging all Marylanders to stay off the roads for the next 36 hours. He says, "There will be people who die and are killed in this storm." He says the state is "right in the crosshairs" of the hurricane, which is expected to sit over Maryland for more than a full day.
The Democratic governor also says flooding from the Chesapeake Bay could be worse than expected because of winds pushing water up into the bay. He compared the anticipated damage to Hurricane Gloria in 1985 or even Hurricane Agnes in 1972.

Anyone interested in joining up to hunt black bear in NW MT? I am planning to hunt solo but two is more fun and half the work in packing out.
I live in NC and am flying out to Spokane Sept 17 or 18 to tent camp for a week. Planning to hunt either near Libby or N of Kalispell, though since I have never hunted NW MT I would be open to another good area.
Any tips on where to go would also be appreciated. I just tagged those areas based on harvest and bear density stats and talking to the biologists.

The Sampling Period
There comes a time in every person's life where multiple paths are laid out and must be narrowed to one. For some, the traditional path is the one most obviously trodden; others may find themselves, as Robert Frost once did, on a road not taken.
In the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference panel "10,000 Hours vs. The Sports Gene," authors Malcolm Gladwell and David Epstein debated myriad ways in which an athlete transitions from who they can be to the athlete they were meant to be. Continue Reading

Daly had a voice in Old White makeover
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS - Surely there will be a lot of super saves this week at the PGA Greenbrier Classic.
But the biggest save for the third-year tournament actually came a little less than two years ago.
After the PGA Tour pros carved up the par-70 Old White TPC course in the inaugural event - remember, Stuart Appleby fired a record-tying 59 in the final round to win it - Greenbrier resort owner Jim Justice and his staff renovated and toughened up the layout, and now they're reaping the benefits.
Phil Mickelson made the trip to these West Virginia hills last year. Tiger Woods brought his mystique to town this year. The PGA obviously was impressed by the changes, earlier this week upping its agreement with the Greenbrier Classic six additional years through 2021.
Armed with that knowledge, Justice has begun plugging for some of golf's plum events, such as the President's Cup or perhaps even the U.S. Open.
Certainly a lot of factors contributed to The Greenbrier's ascension, including the move to the Fourth of July week, but the importance of the course changes can't be overlooked, as they made Old White a truer test for the pros and a more desirable destination.
"It's a combination of all kinds of stuff,'' Justice said on Thursday. "The crowds, the concerts, the resort, the changes to the course. From the greens being spongy to the greens being firm. We've got some rain here, so they're able to throw some darts at it right now, but the greens are firm and can get really firm. We added length, tightened the fairways and the rough is much more lush.
"To be perfectly honest, the golf course, with all its history and all its tradition and all the unique stuff it has, has added to all that, to where the course could very well become a U.S. Open course. It's a real challenge. Surely it's added into the desire of everything the PGA wanted. It's surely put us on the radar for the 2017 or 2021 President's Cup. It's making a lot of good things happen.''
One of the first to make suggestions on course renovations was two-time major winner John Daly, who struck up a friendship with Justice and played with the resort owner in the 2010 pro-am.
Daly stuck around at The Greenbrier following the 2010 tournament and pointed out possible improvements.
"Believe it or not, after the tourney, Daly stayed over one extra day to go around with Justice and the people with Justice, offering up his ideas,'' Gregg Happe, who served as a Pace of Play Ambassador, told the Gazette last year. "Lo and behold, Justice goes and hires some other company, but they took a lot of the ideas, at least from my recollection, that Daly had pointed out.''
After all those changes, the winning score for the 2011 Classic dropped from Appleby's 22 under to Scott Stallings' 10 under (Stallings won in a three-way playoff).
Following Thursday's first round, Daly downplayed his contributions to Old White's makeover.
"I told him where to put some tee boxes the first year,'' said Daly, whose 2-under 68 Thursday was one shot off his low round at the Greenbrier Classic.
"On 2, he moved that one back, and on 16 and 17. On 7, I said if he could put it across that road, like he did. It just made it a lot longer and a little tougher. Now it's a golf course. All the players love it now. I think the length kind of helped it.''
Justice admitted that Daly's offerings were part of a group effort.
"There have been so many people come up with suggestions - the PGA group, myself, John Daly. John really came up with the idea of putting the No. 2 tee back where we put it. John stayed [in 2010] and had some ideas, Slugger White had a bunch of ideas, everything.
"We did a lot of tweaking. We extended the lake out on 16, and moving the tee in back of the lake out. Coming down the stretch, you have to hit that tee shot - and it's a bear of a tee shot. It's a giant carry over water and a very small fairway, and we added the dragon's teeth on 16. All of it has made the course a lot better.
"I talk to John, and he's a good guy and we do have a good friendship. But there's a lot of people I listen to. Phil Mickelson had some nice ideas, and we worked with the tour. And believe it or not, I've come up with two, three ideas. All together, it makes it work.''
Daly said he made his recommendations to help improve Old White, but not necessarily turn it into a bogey monster.
"There's nothing wrong with having guys shoot 22 under par,'' Daly said. "Just one week out of the year would be great. At [the John Deere Classic], they do it. It kind of gives us a little bit of satisfaction. We can go out and say, 'Hey, we can make nine birdies in a round.' You can here, but it's made it a lot harder.
"I know the Ryder Cup was here a long, long time ago [1979], and I'm sure Jimmy's got that on his mind - one time maybe bringing that back. I think it's going to get better, and I think it's going to get harder. The greens are only two years old because he switched them out. They're so good, they're like brand new. It's incredible. They look like last year.''
Daly has Justice's ear so much that he can even offer him advice outside of golf.
"We just hit it off real well,'' Daly said with a smile. "Now if I could just get my doctor to give him that lap band, we'll make him lose some weight.''

Did you know that some of Einstein's physics calculations are well over 20 pages long? Modern researchers in the field of physics have long struggled with how to do complex calculations in less time. Now researchers at the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Dartmouth report that they have been able to reduce the amount of time spent on physics calculations using IBM hardware. The UMass Dartmouth Physics department recently completed research proving POWER7 is 8x faster over Intel Xeon Harpertown and 5x over Intel Xeon Nehalem. Calculations that used to take a month to run now take less than a week. The resulting enhancements in time to perform calculations greatly speed the progress of their physics research on black holes. If only Einstein had a POWER7, just think what might have been?

WOLO 851 - WOLO SIBERIAN EXPRESS Truck Train Horns
WOLO SIBERIAN EXPRESS Truck Train Horns
Give any truck the powerful sound of a train air horn. The SIBERIAN EXPRESS has been engineered with the latest technology using reinforced ABS plastic. The sound produced by the three trumpets is incredible. Using reinforced ABS plastic decreases the overall weight. The Siberian Express weight is two-thirds less compared to the same type train horn that is metal. The reduced weight makes installation easier, ensures less vibration and eliminates the need for extra support brackets to prevent damage to the horn when driving on rough roads. The trumpets are finished with an attractive semi-gloss black or chrome-plated finish and the mounting base is painted silver. The SIBERIAN EXPRESS requires an on-board air system with a minimum of two gallon storage tank (Wolo Model 840 recommended). Comes with all mounting hardware and 10 feet of 1/4" OD nylon high-pressure hose.Specifications
