There have been several changes and updates in important ASTM standards affecting concrete producers. Committee members approved five new ASTM Standards at December's ASTM committee meetings. Here is a brief update on these changes:
C114 – Standard Test Methods for Chemical Analysis of Hydraulic Cement has been revised to C114-06.
C1252 – Standard Test Methods for Uncompacted Void Content of Fine Aggregate (as Influenced by Particle Shape, Surface Texture, and Grading) has been revised to C1252-06.
C1622/C1622M – Standard Specification for Cold-Weather Admixture Systems has been revised to C1622/C1622M-06.
C511 – Standard Specification for Mixing Rooms, Moist Cabinets, Moist Rooms, and Water Storage Tanks Used in the Testing of Hydraulic Cements and Concretes has been revised to C511-06.
C76 – Standard Specification for Reinforced Concrete Culvert, Storm Drain, and Sewer Pipe has been revised to C76-06.
To help producers learn about these and other new standards, ASTM's Web site includes a document summary page. You can access all of this information by visiting www.astm.org. You only need to enter the standard designation number, such as C1207, in the site search.
The ASTM staff also announced that committees are beginning discussions on four work items. They are:
WK13439 – Test Method for Total Sulfur in Concrete.
WK13453 – Standard Specification for Liquid Membrane-Forming Compounds Having Special Properties for Curing and Sealing Concrete is a work item revision to existing standard C1315-06.

Chamber Music Program
Attention Chamber Musicians:
The Preparatory Chamber Music Program will have auditions for new players on Saturday, January 9, 2016 from 2-4 pm and Tuesday, January 12, 2016 from 4-6 pm at CIM Main Campus. Auditions are open to students who wish to join the program for the spring semester. If you are interested, please contact the Preparatory office at 216-791-5000 for more information and an application.
Directed by Carolyn Warner, the Chamber Music Program is an exciting way for musicians to enhance their solo skills by exploring the wonderful array of music written for various combinations of instruments. We find that not only does playing in an ensemble sharpen listening and playing skills, it serves as a fun way for musicians to meet and exchange ideas with other musicians.
The Cleveland Institute of Music Preparatory Chamber Music Program is designed not only to introduce chamber music to inexperienced players of most ability levels, but also to provide continuing instruction for those previously enrolled in the program. Our faculty coaches are highly regarded chamber musicians, and are experienced in working with a wide variety of ensembles.
Groups are formed after the audition process is completed, and suitable matches are made based on ability and age. Existing ensembles will be kept together should they so desire. Two master classes and two concerts will be presented throughout the year.
Policies & Information
Tuition & Fees: Fees are per Year:
- $863 per person (Duo), plus annual registration fee of $50.
- $755 per person (Trio), plus annual registration fee of $50.
- $657 per person (Quartet), plus annual registration fee of $50.
Audition Fee: $50 audition fee (applied towards tuition if accepted and placed into a group)

IBM delivers smarter virtual networks with new OpenFlow controller
Industry pundits are calling software defined networking the most exciting and disruptive enterprise networking technology in decades. With the announcement of the new IBM System Networking Programmable Network Controller, IBM now provides a complete OpenFlow solution (the new controller plus IBM switch).
Just as IBM was first to market with a 10/40GbE OpenFlow-enabled switch, IBM is now leading the market with a complete SDN OpenFlow solution for the agile data center. By aggressively adopting, and contributing to, this new design paradigm, IBM is again demonstrating its commitment to innovation in order to meet and exceed customers' needs for increased IT and business efficiency, competitiveness and creativity.
As one of the few Tier 1 vendors with any kind of SDN solution, we're very excited to bring this complete solution to companies and organizations worldwide. And, to demonstrate IBM's commitment to IT and business innovation.
IBM's new software defined networking (SDN) controller is an addition to our enterprise networking portfolio. It provides intelligent software using the OpenFlow standard for the IBM RackSwitch G8264 and other OpenFlow-enabled switches. Using OpenFlow, our clients can create virtual networks with the scalability and flexibility required to respond to changes in cloud and mobile services environments.
Customers tell us that IBM's commitment to interoperability and standards enables them to significantly reduce cost and time-to-value by increasing their networking intelligence. Now that SDN and OpenFlow are not just for research institutions anymore; financial services, software companies, cloud providers and web enterprises are increasingly adopting these new technologies to increase performance and user control.
Listening to what customers need, we've designed our new controller to dramatically simplify what is a very complex and expensive management task today. It also allows enterprise data centers to:
- Squeeze out costs from network administration.
- Mitigate business risk with flexible controls and management of network flows based on business policy.
- Deploy a "pay as you grow" scalable fabric that can be cost-effectively implemented with immediate benefits, accelerating time-to-market.
- Use all resources efficiently.
- An OpenFlow-based network fabric with centralized control of network flows and virtual machine mobility, simplifying management.
- Increase in operational efficiency by automating network changes rather than requiring an admin to make CLI changes.
- Ability to transform traditional networking into an open, flexible model, dramatically increasing business agility and resource productivity while reducing costs.
- A pay-as-you-grow option allowing new applications or growth to leverage the advantages of IBM's Programmable Network Controller
- Ideal solution for multi-tenant environments and those where business continuity is critical.
- A resilient network for self-healing after an outage.

A man caught trespassing at Selena Gomez's California home twice in the same week has been charged with felony stalking and told to stay away from the singer's estate or face a lengthy jail spell.
Che Cruz was arrested outside the "Come and Get It" singer's home in Calabasas a week ago, but he showed up there again on Friday just hours after he was released from jail.
Cruz now faces a misdemeanor charge of violating a court order for returning to Gomez's home.
He appeared in court last Wednesday on the first trespassing charge and was sentenced to probation and 45 days in jail but was released two days later due to jail crowding.
Now, he has been charged with felony stalking and violating a criminal order of protection.

The Case for Bureaucracy: A Public Administration Polemic
Chatham House Publishers, 1 janv. 1994 - 226 pages
In this revised third edition the author sharpens his defence of the American public service. Attacking both the popular stereotypes and some more caustic criticism by academics in the field of public administration, this book presents substantial statistical data, buttressed by personal observation, to demonstrate the author's theory that American government is actually more competent, successful and steadfast than most people realise.

I am trying to find a load that will shoot 3100 fps with 140gr bullets out of my 264 with 26" barrel. I have tried a lot of combos and so far 3000 is the best I have come up with without pressure problems.
I am trying to find a load that will shoot 3100 fps with 140gr bullets out of my 264 with 26" barrel. I have tried a lot of combos and so far 3000 is the best I have come up with without pressure problems.
What bullets are you using? I tried bergers and nosler bt. With the same load the noslers shot almost 150 fps faster. I was thinking about trying retumbo, but heard a lot of good things about magpro in a 264. I tried h4831 and didn't really work out so well for me. Are all those guns custom barrels? I beginning to think that I may need new barrel to get up to speed.
I have no problems with the accubonds, I was going to try them anyways, but it helps to hear that they are perfoming well. Are you neck sizing your cases?
No I have been full length sizing. Probably should be.
I shoot 2 belted mags in addition to a lot of high vel stuff. I definatelywould not full length size the brass. First loading...yes, but after you have shot the brass in you rifle, it forms itself to your chamber. You do not need to full length size it again. Full length sizing shortens the brass life and can actually cause problems after you do it a few times. It stretches the brass near the belt and will eventually cause cracks at that part of the brass. I've seen 30-06 cases split and leave part of the brass stuck in the chamber, after the case head pulled off.. This happened to my Dad on a backcountry wilderness hunting trip and he could not get the brass out of the chamber....shot his deer with my rifle!! Inspect your brass carefully at the belt.

"My Father always considered a walk in the mountains as the equivalent of church going."
Aldous Huxley
You are right. We have been full length sizing so we can interchange ammo on our hunts if necessary. Our loads don't shoot identical but would work fine to 300yds if we needed to trade ammo. We are both anal enough about preparing for hunts that this will likely never happen, but Murphy seems to take a special interest in us we have done it. Truly we should forget about it since we take a spare rifle anyway. The worst we would be out is the walk back to the truck for ammo and the spare rifle.

Visions: The Music Of Stevie Wonder Yoron Israel
January 8, 2013 in Music Reviews
| Website | Facebook | Amazon | MySpace | CdBaby | ITunes |
Yoron Israel's recently released CD, "Visions: The Music Of Stevie Wonder" is unique in that it is a rework of Stevie Wonder's music, but as Israel hears it. He says this is always the way he heard Wonder's music, and he has put it into a form where we can share and enjoy his concept with him. Musically sound and full of innovations, I really enjoyed his approach to making the music in the form of jazz. Israel states that Wonder, in his opinion, was always a Jazz composer even if his music was more mainstream R&B. Leading his band from the drummer's position is amazing, and his playing is consistent and fabulous.
Always making his presence heard and felt, Israel's abilities are reminiscent of the late great Art Blakey. "Visions" with spoken word is bad to the bone with perfect balance, and the spoken word adds an interesting touch. The musicians backing Israel up do a tremendous job in their playing as well, exploring the works of one of the greatest American artists to ever preform. The amount of love and respect for Wonder's music comes pouring out song after song on the CD. I did not mention other songs because I liked them all so much that I could write a review of each one and I'm sure you'd rather hear the music than to read my writing. I almost wanted to do just that, but I instead recommend you get this CD and listen for yourself. Trust me, it's a journey of discovery that you won't soon forget.
The 10 track CD is interesting in another way, that being the fact that Israel doesn't just choose the most recognizable of Stevie Wonder's songs, but reaches deep and conceptualizes some of those that are lesser known. "You Are The Sunshine Of my Life" is an exception of course, and I can clearly hear what Israel means when he says Wonder's music has always been composed for jazz. This is one classy CD with wonderful renditions that will make you smile inside and out. This CD is a big winner for fans of jazz and R&B, and I highly recommend it.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. -- Butler will induct five former
student-athletes into the Butler University Athletic Hall of Fame
on Saturday, Sept. 21. The induction luncheon/ceremony will
be held in the Krannert Room of Clowes Memorial Hall on the Butler
campus, starting at 11:30 a.m. (ET).
Chosen for induction this year as Butler's 23rd Hall of Fame Class are former student-athletes Steve Abbott (track and field, 1958-60), Bob Lambert (football, baseball, 1976-80), Amy (Pickett) Lamb (volleyball 1995-98), Jen Marlow (basketball, 1995-99) and Thomas Jackson (basketball, 1998-2002). The Hall of Fame Class of 2013 will be formally inducted at the luncheon ceremony and will be introduced at the Butler-Dartmouth football game later that evening.
Abbott was a premier performer in the long jump during his time at Butler, ranking as the best in Indiana and one of the best in the Midwest. He broke a 17-year-old Butler record with a jump of 24-feet, 5-inches in 1958 and then topped his own record with a leap of 24-feet, 5 1/2-inches in 1960. That mark stood for more than a decade. Abbott also set a Butler record in the triple jump (later broken) and established the Indiana Collegiate Conference long jump record. He was a two-time ICC champion, and won individual titles at both the Little State Meet and the Big State Meet. In 1960, he was presented the Outstanding Achievement Award for Track and Field by the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce.
Lambert, who passed away in January of 2013, was a two-sport athlete, earning seven varsity letters while competing on Butler's football and baseball squads. He had a solid football career, helping Butler to a conference co-championship in 1977 and earning honorable mention All-Heartland Collegiate Conference recognition in 1979. But it was on the baseball field where he really left his mark. The three-time, first team all-conference catcher set Butler single season and career records for home runs (both since broken) and won a conference batting title in 1978. He led the Bulldogs in home runs for three straight years and helped lead Butler to a pair of conference titles. He was Butler's Andy Williams Award winner in 1980.
Lamb was a three-time, first team All-Horizon League volleyball player, one of just 15 players in league history to accomplish that feat. She dominated the middle of Butler's defense for four seasons and finished her career as Butler's all-time leader in blocks. She still stands second on Butler's all-time list for kills and hitting percentage, and she ranks in the "Top 5" on the Horizon League all-time lists for both kills and block assists. The four-year varsity letterwinner was named Horizon League Newcomer of the Year in 1995, and she was a four-time league Player of the Week. She led the conference in kills for two consecutive years and helped the Bulldogs to a conference title in 1997.
Marlow was a "do-it-all" player on the basketball court. She led Butler in scoring (1998-99) and assists (1996-97 and 1997-98) and she owns Butler's single season (.517, 1997-98) and career (.443) records for three-point field goal shooting . She was Butler's third all-time leading scorer at the time of her graduation, and she still ranks among Butler's all-time leaders in scoring, assists, three-point field goals, free throws, three-point field goal shooting and free throw shooting. Marlow was named All-Horizon League three times and was chosen to the league's All-Defensive, All-Newcomer and All-Tournament teams. In 2005-06, she was one of ten players named to Butler's Team of the Sesquicentennial.
Butler's all-time leader in assists and steals, Jackson set the point-guard standard for the Bulldogs during a heralded four-year career. He became the first (and only) player in Butler basketball history to record 1,000 career points and 500 career assists, and he finished his four years with 95 victories, two NCAA Tournament appearances and two trips to the NIT. The 5-9 guard led Butler in assists for four consecutive seasons and topped the Horizon League in assist/turnover ratio for three straight years. He was a two-time, first team All-Horizon League player, was named to the league's All-Defensive Team for two straight years, was chosen MVP of the 2001 Hoosier Classic and was picked All-Tournament at three different regular season tournaments. Jackson was named Co-Recipient of Butler's Most Outstanding Male Athlete Award in 2001-02, and he was selected to the 15-player Butler Team of the Sesquicentennial in 2005-06.
The Butler Hall of Fame was created in 1991 to provide a forum in which those who have brought honor and respect to Butler University and its athletic program could be acknowledged and permanently enshrined in Hinkle Fieldhouse. Inductees have made exceptional contributions to the prestige of the University in the field of athletics, and continued to demonstrate in their lives the values imparted by athletics. The Hall of Fame enshrinement wall is located at the front entrance to Hinkle Fieldhouse.

Grab your FREE copy of my E-book when you sign up for my Sacred Success for Women Executives Ezine.
Evelyn Kalinosky and I have walked parallel paths, and it's that journey that attracted me to her. Evelyn has a gentle, empathic style of coaching that is soothing to the soul. She has her finger on the pulse of what matters to those of us in the midlife glory of our lives. Evelyn turns a cliche lifestyle into one we can all look forward to with grace and style.
I am a new, better woman, thanks in large measure to working with Evelyn.
Evelyn is capable of a level of integrity that I find especially rare. She is accountable for herself, her work, and for the results she produces. This critical competence allows her to produce unprecedented levels of trust with her clients and colleagues alike. She is warm and full of a genuine passion for transforming the lives of her clients, and embodies the rigorous pursuit of excellence in her work and her life.
If you find yourself struggling between being Alpha Female of your pack and finding inner peace, Evelyn Kalinosky has the guidance for you. Her personal story of breakdown to breakthrough is one that every woman on the fast track must read. She invites us to honestly look at how we're treating ourselves, our bodies, and even our loved ones as we move through midlife.
Working with Evelyn has been one of the best decisions I made for my businesses and myself. Under her tender care, I was able to break through creative blocks and tame that perfectionist within…I cannot tell you how valuable it was to have a lifeline to such a great mentor… In her own fierce but kind way, Evelyn has helped me gain clarity, flexibility, and that ever-elusive confidence that I needed. Bottom-line, Evelyn rocks!
If I were to sum up Evelyn in a phrase, it would be "inspiring wisdom." She inspires me to think bigger, to shed limitations, to feel good about myself and my inner development. Her words are wise. They make profound sense – not just rational, logical head-kind of sense – they make sense based on my experience and what I know to be real, but that I didn't fully recognize until the moment that she spoke them.
Malcolm Forbes has said that 'Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are.' Evelyn uncovers the nasty gremlins that we all harbor inside – the ones that keep us from appreciating who we are and enjoying the lives we are meant to live.
I began coaching with Evelyn when I was at loose ends about a new career direction. Now I'm building a solo venture, and she helps keep me focused and accountable – especially valuable as I don't have a business partner, it's all on me! Evelyn is a great listener. I trust her advice; she brings lots of experience and insight to her coaching. Her warm personality and thoughtful input make her a wonderful choice if you're serious about working with a coach. – C. I.
Evelyn Kalinosky is the real deal. After going through her own breakdown, she transformed into a brilliant coach who guides and encourages you to transform your own breakdown into a breakthrough. Part inspiration and part practical tools, Evelyn's wisdom lets you know you're not alone and gives you a guiding hand on your own transformational journey to your wealthy self.

Congrats on the tag and welcome to Eastmans! 11
Hi Guys
Wondering if anyone has experience with this unit/season. I have not elk hunted before and wondering how far in I need to get from the road in this unit. I understand that the earlier season cow and spike hunt is somewhat crowded. Appreciate the feedback.
Congrats on the tag and welcome to Eastmans! 11

Welcome to the forum!
Welcome to the forum. What tag do you have? Do you have the early September rifle bull hunt?
I hope you realize the quality tag you have. It may be the best elk tag you will ever have in your lifetime. You should have an 80% chance to kill a bull that is 7 years old, which is an older bull with good trophy quality. You should be able to kill a mature 6 point bull in the 300-330 class.
If I was in your shoes I would contact Huntin Fool early next week and spend $100 and join their service for a year. Once you are a member, you can talk to their consultants, they are all from Utah and will have familiarity with that unit. They will also send you their "Member Draw List", which will include names and telephone numbers of their members who have had that tag in the past. On that unit, I would bet you would get 10 to 20 names, and that would be the best $100 you could spend. You have a tag that is probably worth $6000+ if you went out to buy the same landowner tag, so do it right and get the information you need to do it well.
Those limited rut rifle elk hunts usually are not about getting way off the road, it is more about making sure you are in the right areas. The bulls should be going nuts bugling, and you will likely need the patience to sort through several nice bulls looking for the right bull.
Invest the time to arrive early and hunt the who season if you can swing it.
Go on You Tube and look up "Wasatch Elk Hunt" and you can see the quality of elk available.
Congrats on the tag.
Getting off the roads is always better hunting in my opinion, but I have been on the wasatch alot and had three friends shoot their bulls fairly close to the roads. The rut is in full swing during this hunt and the elk are not hard to find. If you are not super picky on the bull your after, getting in far might not be worth the work for you. If you have any other questions let me know. Also you will not have general season hunters to deal with so that is of no concern.

The 2010 USDA Dietary Guidelines recommend reducing intake of saturated fat (eg. cheese, ice cream, pizza, and chicken) (see also here). The original Guidelines directly stated that saturated fat should be avoided; this was later softened to accommodate agribusiness. In Finland, the use of science based dietary guidelines that reduced saturated fat intake resulted in a major improvement in general health. The number one source of artery clogging saturated fat in the American diet is dairy products. Any intake of saturated fat above zero raises bad cholesterol (see also here); cutting down on animal products is the best way to avoid eating saturated fat and cholesterol. A single egg yolk usually contains 215-275 mg of cholesterol; a Hardees Monster Thickburger contains only 210 mg of cholesterol (see also here). Other foods high in saturated fat: coconut oil, and coconut milk. Cocoa butter is another one of the few plants fats that raises our cholesterol; eating cocoa powder, thus, is the best way to get the benefits from cocoa without the fat (see also here). A cow's burger has 500% more saturated fat than a veggie burger. And similarly, chicken can have infinitely more saturated fat than veggie chicken. Saturated fat in the diet can lead to hardening of our arteries; taken to an extreme, this can result in an abdominal aortic aneurysm (see also here). In terms of cancer, a study found that simply cutting down on saturated fat improves cancer free survival. In one breast cancer survival study, women who ate the most saturated fat after diagnosis increased the risk of dying by 41% (see also here).

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) - Marcus Mariota and No. 2 Oregon wasted no time showing Virginia all that speed the Ducks bring is more than just talk.
Mariota ran 71 yards for a touchdown on the Ducks' sixth play from scrimmage, turning a third-and-5 that had the crowd jacked up for a defensive stop into a demoralizing introduction into what Oregon football is all about.
"They came out in a man-free look and they all kind of ran with their guy and I just kind of hit it up the middle," Mariota said of the play, on which he flared five receivers out, then ran a draw. He was virtually untouched on the play.
"The guys did a good job blocking and the receivers did a good job blocking downfield," he said.
Mariota finished with 122 yards on four carries, and threw two touchdown passes. De'Anthony Thomas added three touchdown runs, and the Ducks piled up 557 yards of offense in their first trip to Charlottesville on the way to a 59-10 victory that looked frighteningly easy.
Still, it left first-year head coach Mark Helfrich with plenty to complain about, namely 11 penalties for 119 yards.
"Obviously we will clean that up," Helfrich said.
The offense, which built a 21-0 lead in the first 10:32, felt like it left a lot on the field, too.
"I thought we did all right," Mariota said. "There were some times that we slowed ourselves down with penalties and bad throws. If everything starts to click for us, like those first three drives, I think things will get rolling and we'll be pretty good."
Thomas ran for 124 yards on just 11 carries, and the Ducks (2-0), who gained a school-record 772 yards last week in beating Nicholls State, looked capable of doing it again against a Virginia defense that hoped to keep the Cavaliers in the game. Oregon's up-tempo offense did all its damage while possessing the ball for just 21:25.
As always, Thomas said, their opponents faces' told the story.
"That's the funny part. For the first couple plays, they're out there talking, and as the game goes by, guys are just slowing down and you can see by their body language and stuff, and that's when we know we got 'em," the fleet junior said.
Virginia (1-1) came into the game riding a high after a comeback victory last week against BYU, the first since coach Mike London hired new offensive, defensive and special teams coordinators. Defensive coordinator Jon Tenuta's unit, especially, seemed confident it would be able to slow the Ducks down, but Mariota provided a very early look at what it was up against.
"We knew they are fast and athletic," London said. "We tried to practice the pace, but it's hard to practice for that type of athleticism that they have. It is always a challenge when you face an offense like that."
The victory was the Ducks' 16th in a row on their opponent's field, the longest streak in the country.

Employers looking for ways to improve worker health and lower costs are increasingly looking at a source hidden in plain view: vision health plans.
Enhanced communication between eye doctors and primary-care providers can result in earlier detection of common chronic conditions including diabetes and hypertension, experts say.
"A lot of employers are saying, 'How do I complete the circle," says Sandy Ageloff, health and group benefits leader at Towers Watson & Co. "Many vision vendors are happy to offer more coordinated information sharing."
Vision-care specialists can often spot signs of chronic disease before primary-care providers—especially since people are far more likely to get an annual eye exam than an annual physical, Ageloff and other say.
One leader in the area is VSP Global, which covers 58 million lives, Ageloff says. "VSP is very aggressive about this and in a good way," she adds.
The Rancho Cordova, California-based company has a "medical data collection tool" that provides aggregate data to employers about worker health conditions discovered during routine eye exams. Those data are compliant with federal privacy standards.
In addition, VSP works with employers to connect with employee health plans and disease management programs to reach out to individual members after a condition has been spotted at an eye exam. VSP coordinates with primary-care providers to offer additional health services to patients identified as having a chronic condition.
Susan Egbert, director of eye health strategies for VSP, said that VSP members are three times more likely to have an annual eye exam than an annual physical, and that point of contact can gather helpful information about an individual's health status.
"The eyes are the only place on the body where you can see blood vessels," Egbert says. "They are impacted by a number of health conditions."
Leaking or swelling of the eye blood vessels can indicate diabetes while an orange tinge to the vessels can be a sign of high cholesterol, she says. A peek at the eyes' blood vessels can also show symptoms of a brain tumor, high blood pressure and multiple sclerosis, she says.
"We see an opportunity to leverage the eye exam as part of an overall wellness program," Egbert says.
Indeed, a study conducted in 2011 indicated that 2.4 million people were identified as having a chronic disease after having a routine eye exam. Employers offering vision benefits saved $4.5 billion in health care costs because of early detection, according to the study conducted by the Human Capital Management Services Group, a consulting firm for VSP.
Eye doctors were first to detect signs of a chronic condition 65 percent of the time for high-cholesterol diagnoses, 20 percent of the time for diabetes and 30 percent of the time for hypertension. The study followed 200,000 VSP members without previous health conditions over a yearlong period.
The report also found that employers receive a 127 percent return on investment through early detection with eye exams.
Vision plans are also boosting follow up care for members with chronic conditions. EyeMed Vision Care, of Mason, Ohio, offers diabetic patients office visits every six months to monitor for signs of complications. Diabetes is a leading cause of adult blindness.
"Employers are looking for ways to manage their health care costs," says Towers Watson's Ageloff . Harnessing information from eye exams "is a way to identify health conditions and intervene earlier."

Sea Level Rise Explorer
From Global Warming Art
The map shown above allows you to explore the regions of the Earth that are most vulnerable to sea level rise.
As with other Google Maps, you can click-and-drag the window to scroll or double click to zoom.
Potential for Sea Level Rise
|Sources of potential sea level rise
|Thermal expansion of the oceans
|0.2-0.4 m per degree C[1]
|Mountain glaciers and ice caps
|0.15-0.37 m[2]
|Greenland Ice Sheet
|7.3 m[3]
|West Antarctica Ice Sheet
|5 m[4]
|East Antarctic Ice Sheet
|52 m[4]
As global warming progresses, sea level is expected to rise primarily due to the melting of continental ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica. However, the ultimate amount of flooding is highly uncertain. A full deglaciation of both poles would raise sea level as much as ~65 meters (210 feet), though it is very likely that the ultimate sea level rise will be only a fraction of this possible total.
During the twentieth century, sea level rose 20 cm. It is predicted that sea level rise will accelerate during the twenty-first century, but many model predictions still foresee a sea level rise of less than 1 additional meter by 2100. The greatest uncertainty in these predictions is the role of ice streams and iceberg calving from the major ice sheets. Current models are unable to predict the degree by which ice streams may accelerate in response to warming.[2] By one estimate, the glacial outflow from Greenland increased 200% from 1996 to 2005.[5] This increase in Greenland's outflow, if sustained, would add only ~3.5 cm to sea level by 2100. However, since this large increase was apparently triggered by relatively mild warming, the IPCC is unable to rule out dramatic further increases in outflow.[2] A further ten-fold increase in glacial outflow and corresponding increases in the glacial outflow of Antarctica could effectively double the total mass loss through 2100. Even so, the likely scenarios for twenty-first century sea level rise due to unrestrained global warming remain less than 2 m.
|Sea Level Rise
|Risk for Sea Level Rise[6]

|Beyond the year 3000

|Low to Moderate
|12-20 m
|Low to Moderate
|20-65 m
|Very Low
However, even if global temperatures stabilize in 2100, the full magnitude of sea level rise is expected to take far longer to develop. By one estimate, carbon dioxide stabilization at 1100 ppmv (four times pre-industrial levels) would still only result in a 60% mass loss in Greenland after 1000 years of melting, and an additional 2000 years to melt the remainder.[7] (This estimate does not include the potential impact of ice stream acceleration.) The sheer size of the ice sheets involved essentially guarantee that the melting component of sea level rise will progress slowly.
Regardless of the time scale involved, an analogy to the previous interglacial suggests that a few degrees Celsius of sustained warming can cause enough melting to raise sea level 4-6 m before the ice sheets reach equilibrium.[8] This level of warming is likely to be achieved or even exceeded by 2100 in the absence of intervention to combat climate change, though as above, it would take far longer to realize the full sea level change.
Accuracy of Maps
The sea level data appearing in my maps is based primarily on version 2 of NASA's Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), with post-processing by CGIAR to fill-in voids using data from other sources. The underlying data has a horizontal resolution of 90 m at the equator. Over the entire globe, the absolute vertical error is estimated as less than 9 m at 90% confidence, with substantial regions having an error of 5 m or less at 90% confidence.[9][10] No satellite-based elevation dataset has accuracy better than this. The largest errors are primarily associated with complex, rapidly varying terrain. Since coastal regions tend to flat and the ocean's surface provides a calibration target for the radar system, one can usually expect that near shore elevations will be somewhat more accurate than the average. However, it is reasonable to treat the smallest scale fluctuations at high magnification with a healthy dose of scepticism.
One of the limitations of the SRTM data is that radar beam sees only the uppermost surface in a given area and this may not reflect the ground level. This causes the data set to overestimate elevation in densely forested or urbanized areas. Consequently, cities like Manhattan appear to have significantly greater average elevation than one would perceive at street level. In addition, the radar system may underestimate the elevation of deserts due to poor radar reflection from dry sand.[10] Lastly, there are a number of holes in the SRTM data that CGIAR filled with lower quality data. Some of these fills will contain noticably defects (such as parts around Rhode Island).
The SRTM data are limited to a region of 60 S to 60 N latitude. Outside this region, sea level information was extracted from the Global Land One-km Base Elevation (GLOBE) Project which has a horizontal resolution of ~1 km at the equator and is often characterized by vertical errors of +/- 30 m. Obviously this resolution is quite crude and so data at high latitudes should be taken as a rough estimate of actual elevation. In addition, the stretching of the Mercator Projection near the poles increases the apparent distortion.
Lastly, since these maps don't include any information regarding tides, storm surges, or other coastal effects, they provide only a partial picture of how vulnerable a given terrain may be to sea level rise.
Though these data are amongst the best available for the purpose of estimating sea level rise effects, it should also be clear that their small scale accuracy is limited. Hence, one should view these maps as rough estimations of how sea level rise may affect coastal areas and not rely on them too heavily.

Stuffing Bread
From the kitchen of Michelle Hilleson
Here you go . . . something to serve leftover turkey sandwiches. Wonderful with leftover cranberry sauce on top!
1¼ cups water or milk (70 to 80 degrees F)
1 egg
3 tablespoons dried minced onion
1 tablespoon butter or margarine, softened
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
¾ teaspoon poultry seasoning
½ teaspoon sage
½ tsp. pepper
1 teaspoon salt
½ - 1½ teaspoon celery seed
3½ cups bread flour
2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
In a bread machine pan, place all ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select basic bread setting.
Choose crust color and loaf size if available.
Bake according to bread machine directions.
Check dough after 5 minutes of mixing and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed.
Notes: Michelle says that 1/3 cup cornmeal could substitute for some of the bread flour. And adjusting your favorite seasonings and 'not so favorite' seasonings is always Ok!

A mere 48 hours after George Hotz and Sony Computer Entertainment America settled their legal dispute, Sony has put its focus back on PS3 hacker graf_chokolo. According to a report on PS3 hacking site PSX-Scene, Sony has visited the home of graf_chokolo for a second time. According to that report, which is based on a post from the man himself, Sony seized a bunch of computer equipment this time around. Here is what he said on his official web site:
"SONY was at my home today again, with a new TRO against me. They took my whole equipment again and told me to stop my OtherOS project or else …. , guys. They definitely do not want OtherOS back on PS3. They want me to take down all my OtherOS and PS3 utils. Make sure to clone all my GIT repositories. I don't think you want me to stop, guys, do you ? Tell me what you think."
Sony has neither confirmed or denied the report as true, but it would seem pretty silly for a guy that is mucking around with the removed "OtherOS" functions of the PS3 to lie about it. We will have more on this story as it develops.

LNG? Sure it's good, but incentives are essential: CTA
OTTAWA – A new study by Natural Resources Canada highlights many of the environmental benefits of natural gas trucks, but industry leaders says government tax incentives are needed to put more of these vehicles on the road.
The Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) says the report, entitled Natural Gas Use in Transportation Deployment Roadmap, is a good assessment of the potential benefits and the obstacles to liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a fuel along key corridors and for urban fleets in Canada, but without major incentives it will be difficult for carriers to justify the increased costs for LNG equipment.
The current premium for an LNG tractor is in the neighborhood of up to 100 percent or even greater over that of a conventional unit. AS well, the distribution network is in an embryonic state and needs to be developed, says CTA.
"LNG has the potential to serve as an important niche in the trucking marketplace," says CTA boss David Bradley. "It won't be suitable for every type of operation given the limitations on its distribution and the costs of purchasing LNG tractors. It will be of most interest to carriers with dedicated return to destination routes. But as part of a broad, comprehensive strategy for reducing GHG emissions from trucking, it definitely has a role to play.
He added: "It is certainly of more potential benefit than biodiesel, for example."
However, investment on the part of the producers in the distribution infrastructure as well as significant tax incentives and price guarantees to allow and encourage those carriers who are interested to make the shift will be required, he said.
Incidentally, this was a significant recommendation in the report.
A key finding of the report was that trucking fleets can improve their competitiveness and reduce their environmental impacts by using LNG. Canadian communities will also benefit: first, by the use of lower emission natural gas refuse collection trucks and other commercial vehicles; and second, from local jobs created by Canadian suppliers of natural gas vehicle and station technologies.
"This is a win-win for both the environment and for fleets who adopt natural gas," said Claude Robert, President and CEO of Robert Transport, one of Canada's largest for hire trucking companies who recently purchased 180 natural gas trucks.
The study identifies long-haul trucking operators as an attractive potential market for LNG use, but it also recognizes the impediments facing the widespread use of the fuel:
"Trucking fleets tend to be conservative in adopting new technology, and natural gas (particularly LNG) is unfamiliar and unavailable to most fleets," it states. "The uncertainty about fuel availability and prices, combined with the high incremental vehicle prices, limited marketing and lack of financial incentives for natural gas trucks, explains the low level of uptake. The potential for market growth for natural gas vehicles will not be realized unless the attitudes, knowledge and key concerns of end-users are understood and addressed.
CTA says that greater use of LNG fits well with the proposed heavy truck fuel efficiency regulations currently under development by Environment Canada.
"We'd much rather that the federal government focused on these real solutions than trying to push things like biodiesel down the industry's throat," says Bradley.

There can be only one.
My guess is Tim Dwight as much as I hate to admit it.
Now that MBB is back, do we still have to pretend that WBB matters?

|Teen motor vehicle fatalities rise in 2012, reversing positive trend
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Parents of teenagers may think they don't have influence on their kids, but when it comes to safe driving, they do—and it could mean the difference between life and death.
From 2004 to 2011, rates of motor vehicle crash deaths among 15-19-year-olds in Colorado dropped more than 67 percent. However, in 2012, Colorado experienced a 10 percent rise in teen fatalities from 2011.
"The pairing of statewide education and heightened enforcement has contributed to a significant decline in teen driving fatalities, but the increase in 2012 is cause for concern," said Ali Maffey, policy and communication coordinator at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
"Before teen drivers get behind the wheel on their own, experts suggest parents sign a contract with their teenager outlining clear rules and specific consequences if rules are broken. This accountability goes a long way in decreasing a teen's risk of motor vehicle crash or fatality," said Maffey.
In conjunction with National Teen Driver Safety Week, Oct. 20-26, the Colorado Teen Driving Alliance launched a new online parent course providing step-by-step instructions on how parents can support their teens through Colorado's graduated driver licensing laws.

1958 Chevrolet Impala - Big RedWritten by Eric Geisert on February 15, 2007 Jim Bostick's '58 Impala
Remember the catch phrase "Where were you in '62?" It was the tagline used for the film "American Graffiti," where a group of teenagers spent the summer of 1962 sorting out their young lives in mid-state California. Jim Bostick, of Rancho Santa Fe, California, could have lived out most of the scenes in "American Graffiti," as he was about 18 years old then.
Born in Kentucky, Jim moved to Southern California in 1961 and it afforded him a whole new outlook on the world, especially with the emerging SoCal car scene. And just as Steve Bolander (Ron Howard's character) in "American Graffiti" drove a '58 Chevy, so did Jim when he was 18, though it was the mid-level Biscayne, not the Impala found in the film. In the early '60s, one of Jim's buddies drove a '58 Impala, but Jim never owned one-that is until just recently.
Spending the next four decades in SoCal, Jim got on with his life and built a successful asphalt paving business. Through the years, he had always wanted to get more into the car scene, but that didn't happen until he started attending local rod runs, namely the Goodguys Del Mar show near San Diego.
Being a closet enthusiast (someone who had always liked cars but never got around to actually collecting them), Jim had already splurged on a finely built, red 'n' white '55 Chevy, but he still didn't own the car he had wanted from his teen years: the '58 Impala. And try as you might, don't tell Jim that '58 Chevys are ugly-he already knows, though he likes to say they're "sorta ugly" (kind of the way a buddy would tell another buddy that his girlfriend isn't that cute, just to soften the blow).
Undaunted, Jim got motivated in trying to find a nice '58 to build, as he'd already decided what some of its design elements would be: a 502 engine, Torch Red paint, tan leather with offset piping, classically inspired wheels, etc. To accomplish this, he also began noting who was responsible for some of the fine-looking vehicles he'd seen at the Goodguys show. As it turned out, many of the better Tri-Fives he'd check out came out of D&P Classic Chevy, owned by Darryl Nance.
D&P, based in Huntington Beach, California, uses the "Bone Stock To Big-Block" phrase to let people know what they do, and it's something they've been doing for many years with the kind of results you'd expect from professionals. And though they had built their reputation with Tri-Fives, D&P did not have any trouble fitting a '58 into their build schedule (they've even been known to work on a Ford or two in their time too!).
But where were you going to find a super-nice '58 Impala to start with? Most ugly cars of the '50s didn't survive the '60s, let alone some 50 years later, as most found their ways to junkyards and/or the crusher. Good, rust-free candidates are few and far between, but Darryl was able to track down one such car in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was a stock, black, Impala sport coupe (still equipped with the factory 348), and it looked to be a very solid car.
As it turned out, the car was originally a California car, so it seems destiny brought it back to SoCal where Darryl and his team could begin the work of turning a sow's ear into a silk purse. But as D&P has learned, there are a few things different between the Tri-Fives and a '58. Even though the engine bay is huge in the '58s, it doesn't lend itself to a 502 or the routing the headers would have to take. Also, suspension-wise, off-the-shelf tubular control arms are few and far between for that year Chevy, and motor mounts and oil pan clearance problems had to be looked at too.
But in typical D&P style, they started by stripping the car of its trim, interior, and drivetrain, and then sent the body over to have the paint blasted off (with an aluminum oxide media). Once back at the shop, D&P added trailing arms to a new 9-inch rearend (3.50:1) and used a custom-fabbed set of control arms up front. Baer disc brakes, with polished calipers and cross-drilled and vented rotors, went on both front and rear, and big 18- and 20-inch Intro wheels were wrapped in Toyo rubber.
Jim-having originally looked at a 572 engine for his project, but also wanting a certain amount of reliability and drivability-decided a 502 crate engine would be more than enough. Besides, after D&P added a camshaft from COMP Cams, an Art Carr 200-R4 trans, and a set of special Doug Thorley headers, Darryl knew Jim would not have a problem getting out of his own way whenever he felt the need to stand on the gas.
From the factory, the most amount of chrome and brightwork of any of the three levels of '58 Chevys the factory made could be found on the Impalas (Impala scripts, crossed flag insignias, fake air scoops, etc.) and the Impala sport coupe was the top of the line, with its tell-tale reversed air scoop (non-functioning) mounted on the roof next to the backlight.
Both Darryl and Jim liked the '58 for what it is, so it was decided the only exterior modifications that would be done to the car would be the removal of the radio antennas from the tops of each rear fender. But that also meant a lot of chroming and polishing would need to happen, too, for the rest of the pieces they decided to leave on the car.
While the chrome work was happening, D&P began the paint prep work, as one of Jim's prerequisites, a Torch Red paint job, was about to occur in D&P's paint booth. D&P Classic Chevy is a full-service business, so much so that they even have their own in-house upholstery shop. Another of Jim's desires, a tan leather interior with contrasting piping, was created by covering a new set of Lexus bucket front seats, the custom center console, and bench rear seat.
D&P also cleaned up the dash area by mounting the stereo in the custom center console (just above the B&M Quicksilver shifter, which was color-matched to the console), and by adding a billet aluminum panel for the group of whiteface Auto Meter gauges. As a final touch, an ididit steering column, painted red, now sports an Intro steering wheel (half-wrapped with interior-matching leather).
As you might guess, there aren't many '58 Chevy Impala sport coupes left, though GM originally made 142,000 or so of them. Jim feels lucky to own one now, and double lucky because of the way it turned out. We believe when "American Graffiti's" Terry "The Toad" said "This might even be better than Darryl Starbird's superfleck moonbird" after being handed the keys to Steve's '58 Impala that he'd have to take that statement back if he had seen Jim Bostick's D&P-prepped super coupe.

Lennox-Gastaut syndrome
Other Names for this Disease
- Encephalopathy of childhood
- Epileptic encephalopathy Lennox-Gastaut type
See Disclaimer regarding information on this site. Some links on this page may take you to organizations outside of the National Institutes of Health.
[1] This condition can be caused by brain malformations, perinatal asphyxia (lack of oxygen), severe head injury, central nervous system infection and inherited degenerative or metabolic conditions. In about one-third of cases, no cause can be found.[1][2] Treatment for Lennox-Gastaut syndrome includes anti-epileptic medications such as valproate, lamotrigine, felbamate, or topiramate. There is usually no single antiepileptic medication that will control seizures. Children may improve initially, but many later show tolerance to a drug or develop uncontrollable seizures.[2]Lennox-Gastaut syndrome is a form of severe epilepsy that begins in childhood. It is characterized by multiple types of seizures and intellectual disability.

I also like Jerky but I also like to take Jolly Ranchers to have in my mouth while I'm hiking. It seems to keep my mouth and throat from drying out better then water does. I still drink a lot of water while hiking but I defiantly drink less so I conserve what I have before a have to refill my water bladder.
Home Made Deer Jerky.... And Not the kind with Liquid Smoke.. Good Old Boy Hickory or Cherry Smoked Jerky....
Speaking of jerky...anybody have any good recipes for making your own jerky in a dehydrator? I have been doing my own for a few years in an electric smoker, but my dad just bought a dehydrator I'd like to try out. Homemade deer jerky is my favorite snack, tasty and makes me feel like im actually getting something good out of it.
Wapiti- You should be able to use your same recipes for the dehydrator that you use for smoking.. Provided you like your current recipes, of course. You'll just want to slice the meat thinner than you would when you are smoking. That reminds me, I need to smoke some jerky for my CO elk (I know, there aren't any elk in CO) in 8 days.
Aside from jerky, I like to eat mixed nuts, and candy bars. I never eat candy bars except when hunting, and then... I can mow down some kitkats. Skittles are tasty too.
If you use your smoker recipe for your dehydrator, but like the smoked taste, add a little of either liquid smoke or sesame oil. Both are pretty potent, so go easy with them.
Jerky, granola bars and a Mountain Dew. Thats what keeps me alive till I get back to camp.
