State Representative Branden Petersen (right) listens as music faculty Ric Perkins (center) describes the problems that occur when attempting to teach or learn in the Fine Arts building that was constructed in 1971. Melissa Bergstrom and Sam Bergstom also provided details during Petersen's visit. Funding to renovate this facility is being requested through the state bonding bill.
The Anoka-Ramsey Community College annual Scholardazzle fundraiser sponsored by the college's Cambridge Campus Foundation raised more than $26,000 in gross revenue, breaking last year's record of $22,000.
The event, organized by the Cambridge Campus Foundation Board of Directors and college staff, drew more than 160 people to help raise money for scholarships for local students attending the College.
Thanks to the strong support of the community, numerous volunteers and staff, attendees enjoyed a gourmet dinner at the Spectacular Events Banquet Center in Isanti, musical entertainment was provided by Anoka-Ramsey Community College music faculty Eric Anderson, Ric Perkins, Jason Vanselow, Sam Bergstrom, Dan Noraker and Fang-Yi Shen. In addition, raffles, silent and live auctions of goods and services donated by area organizations and individuals. A fun event feature attracting great attention was the auction of unique cakes baked by members of the Board of Directors. The highest selling cake went for $185.

At the Kennedy Center American College Theater (KCACTF) Region V Festival in Iowa in early January, associate in fine arts (AFA) Theatre graduate (2008), Matthew A. Gilbertson was selected for the National Stage Management Fellowship for the region. Matt will travel to the National Festival in Washington, D.C. in April.
"I am very excited and honored to represent Region V at the Kennedy Center Festival," says Matt, now a student at Minnesota State University - Mankato. "My time at Anoka Ramsey was extremely valuable and I firmly believe it provided me with the foundation I needed to transfer and achieve my goals."
Gilbertson is currently completing his bachelor of fine arts degree in Theater Design Technology and was selected for his outstanding stage management skills in the areas of professionalism, effectiveness, communication and written materials. The award was for Matt's work on the Mankato's production of "The Odyssey" directed by Dr. Paul J. Hustoles.
"Matt's infectious enthusiasm for all things theatre was a huge asset to our program," says Anoka-Ramsey Technical Director Peter Lerohl, who worked extensively with Matt when he was an Anoka-Ramsey student. "His excellent work was evident both onstage and off as he performed major acting roles and also worked diligently in the shop on scenery. We are extremely proud of him and his continued achievements!"
The fellowship includes round trip air transportation, hotel, meals and a ticket to each KCACTF production at the Kennedy Center in New York. More important, the experience includes a full week of workshops and master classes from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day and followed by evening productions and design response sessions by some of the most influential professionals in American Theater.
"The Kennedy Center honors the best and brightest theater students in the country through the awards presented at the American College Theater Festival," says Anoka-Ramsey Theatre Faculty member, Blayn Lemke. "Our program is thrilled to have a Kennedy Center Fellow as alumni."
For more information about the outstanding students at Anoka-Ramsey Community College, visit the college Web site.
The dedicated work of Anoka-Ramsey Biology Faculty member, Melanie Waite-Altringer in developing the chapter PowerPoint presentations and the answer keys for the chapter questions and assessments appears in the eleventh 11th of "Hole's Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology" by David Shier, Jackie Butler and Ricki Lewis.
Published by McGraw-Hill and copyrighted 2012, the textbook is currently available for classroom use.
Melanie initially became involved in the project making corrections to the 10th edition's instructor manual.
"There were many incorrect and missing answers for the chapter questions in the 10th edition and they asked me to correct them," says Melanie. "Then they asked me to complete the chapter/assessment questions for the upcoming 11th edition and I readily agreed. They seemed to like how that went, so they asked me to complete the PowerPoint presentations for the 11th edition as well."
"Completing the PowerPoint's, which I tried to make as simple as possible, for all the chapters and the answer keys assessments was a wonderful learning experience for me," says Melanie of the project. "This was something I had never done before, but I just loved it! I definitely have a greater appreciation for this textbook, which I use in my Human Body class, and that appreciation shows in my teachings.
Biology Faculty member, Melanie Waite-Altringer developed all the chapter PowerPoint presentations and the answer key for the chapter questions and assessments appears in the 11th edition of "Hole's Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology" (cover shown) by David Shier, Jackie Butler and Ricki Lewis.

Anoka-Ramsey Community College second year basketball player Marie Hanson, Andover, Minn. and Cambridge High School, was named MCAC Southern Division Player of the Week for her play against Riverland Community and Technical College.
In the only game Anoka-Ramsey played last week, Hanson scored 25 points, grabbed five rebounds and added two assists and two steals. In that game Hanson connected on nine of 12 shots from the field which included an impressive seven for eight from behind the arc. She was six for six from long range in the first half alone and made seven straight before she finally missed from 3-point land.
"Marie is a hard working kid who is constantly striving to improve her game," says Anoka-Ramsey Head Coach, Dave DeWitt. "She is a very, very good shooter."
This is the fourth time in six weeks that an Anoka-Ramsey Women's basketball player has been named MCAC Player of the Week. Tamarra Shorter, Stephanie Pilgrim and Mallory Cramer have each also been named National Player of the Week.
Anoka-Ramsey is currently 22-1 on the year and ranked #1 in the country in NJCAA III basketball. Their next game is Wednesday, Feb. 9, 6 p.m., at Anoka-Ramsey against Minnesota State – Fergus Falls.
Anoka-Ramsey Community College is a Division III JUCO in Coon Rapids, MN and competes in the Minnesota College Athletic Conference. They have won six National Championships, the most recent in 2007 and been to the National tournament 10 times.

•There is strong evidence that associate's degrees and years of community college education yield extra earnings compared to high school graduation? Almost all studies have found positive earnings gains from an associate's degree, with an average estimate across the studies of 13% for males and 22% for females.
•Almost all studies have also found gains to credits or years of study at community college that do not lead to a completed degree? The average earnings gain for attending community college without obtaining a credential is estimated at 9% for males and 10% for females.

We know exercise helps strengthen our minds and our bodies. We know that taking on new challenges keeps the brain sharp through middle age and beyond. But now new research — and a new public television documentary — make a strong case that engagement with music, dance and other arts may be just as powerful for preserving mental health and acuity throughout our lives.
A recent study published in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience shows that people who learned to play a musical instrument as children appear to experience less decline in brain function as they age. In tests of memory and cognitive ability, older adults who had learned to play an instrument in their youth, and who played the instrument for at least 10 years, outperformed adults without musical training.
"Behaviors can change your brain," says the study's lead author, Emory University assistant professor of neurology, radiology and imaging sciences Brenda Hanna-Pladdy, herself a flutist. "Musical activity requires years of practice and is a challenging cognitive exercise." Remaining musically active throughout adulthood, or returning in middle age to an instrument learned in childhood, also appeared to bring benefits to the brain, although it was unclear from the research whether taking up an instrument for the first time in adulthood provided similar advantages. (Other studies have found beneficial effects from learning a second language or taking on similarly challenging, long-term tasks requiring practice.)

Many appliances obsolete in just 5 years
Don't Waste Your Money
When you buy a new refrigerator, dishwasher, or oven, you expect it to last 15 to 20 years. But as one woman learned, that's no longer the case.
And even worse, there's a chance your 5- or 6-year-old appliance may be unrepairable if it breaks.
Oven Out for 6 Months
Christina Brown's double wall oven has a small toaster oven inside it.
Why would she she put a toaster in it? Because her 6-year-old Whirlpool wall oven has been dead for 6 months.
"We got an F2 error on our display unit," she said.
The F2 error means her control panel was shot, but then things got worse: A repairman told her the part was no longer available.
So she called Whirlpool.
"They promised to put the part into production at the end of February, then March came, then April came and still no part," she said.
Six months later, still no part, which has Brown frustrated at her now obsolete appliance.
"I don't think it should be an antique. It should last nine, 10, 15 years," she said.
Becoming More and More Common
The website "Consumerist" says this is becoming common, in an article titled "Sorry your 4-year-old, $3,000 oven is too old to repair."
It says appliance makers now make so many different high tech parts, that are not interchangeable, they often discontinue them in just a few years, and cites another Whirlpool case in its report.
What You Can Do
So what if this happens to you? You have several options for saving your appliance.
1. Search online for an "discontinued appliance parts" supply house. There are many throughout the country.
2. Search for control panel repair shops, like Fix Your Board (www.fixyourboard.com ), that may be able to rebuild your broken panel.
3. Finally, write to your manufacturer -- or get on their Facebook page -- stating how unhappy you are with their unfixable product.
We contacted Whirlpool, which agreed to send Brown a temporary replacement control panel in the wrong color, as they do not have it in the correct color. At least that will get her oven working.
But that's just a temporary fix, and Brown says there's no excuse for obsolete appliances after 5 years.
As always, don't waste your money.

Bastille Day Exhibit at Huff Harrington
On Tuesday, July 13, Huff Harrington Fine Art celebrated France at its annual Bastille Day exhibit with an opening reception. The show ran through July 27. Paintings from the gallery's French artists hung side-by-side with work by American painters inspired by the French joie d'esprit. As only the French can do, it was the perfect mix of styles – abstract, representational and impressionist with subjects varying from landscapes, still lifes and florals to edgy portraits of waiters caught unawares or a trio enjoying a glass of wine at a quintessential French café.

My friend Sarah called the other day, seeking some relationship advice. She and Henry have been married for more than 26 years, and the squabbles they've always had over money haven't disappeared as the years have gone by, Sarah told me — they've actually gotten worse.
"It's just so exhausting!" grumbled Sarah. "Too often, I feel angry, stressed and tense. These arguments are also definitely affecting how I feel about our relationship." On the positive side, Henry and Sarah still care about each another deeply, share a number of interests, and enjoy spending time together.
Sarah is 57 and a self-employed real estate agent who makes a decent income, and Henry, a year younger, pulls down an even healthier salary as a CPA in a large firm. He likes to spend money on leisure activities and luxury items, but she feels they should be saving for their grandchildren and retirement. "He's Mr. You Can't Take It With You, and I'm more focused on keeping it for a rainy day. And it's freaking me out!"
Sarah told me these differences have always been a bone of contention, but recently the arguments have gotten out of hand. "In the past, with the happy distraction of raising our daughters [now 21 and 23], our different attitudes about saving and spending money didn't bother me so much. But now I feel like our stupid money fights are detracting from the quality of our marriage. At times, I am just so angry that I totally ignore him for hours and don't want to see or talk to him."
Sarah is in good company. In my research on long-married couples, seven out of 10 reported that money causes tension in their relationship. That may be why so many couples avoid the topic entirely. One study found that financial disagreements are often the most distressing for couples: They're more intense, last longer and are more likely to persist unresolved than other conflict topics.
So how do Sarah and Henry begin coping with their money issues without damaging what otherwise is a fulfilling relationship? I gave Sarah seven strategies that can be helpful no matter how long a couple has been married.

DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Estrogen is one of the major female hormones, the other one being progesterone. Estrogens occur in nature in several chemical forms. In women with active menstrual cycles, the ovaries produce between 70 and 500 micrograms of estradiol daily. This is converted to estrone and to a lesser extent estriol. After menopause, estrone made in the adrenal glands, is the most active circulating estrogen. Estrogens cause growth and development of female sex organs and maintain sex characteristics, including underarm and pubic hair and the shape of body contours and skeleton. Estrogens also increase secretions from the cervix and growth of the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium). Estrogens reduce LDL-cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol) and increase HDL-cholesterol ("good" cholesterol) concentrations in the blood. Estrogens, when taken alone or in combination with a progestin (progesterone), have been shown to reduce the risk for hip fracture due to osteoporosis by 25%.

For decades, love, in all its permutations, has proven among rock and roll's most powerful tonics. From blissful to bawdy, artists have regaled listeners with memorable tales of romance that have inspired and infuriated, giving the language of love a bold voice in the process.
Through February 17, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, is sharing the love with a special self-guided tour highlighting artifacts that relate rock's more romantic side. Visitors to the Rock Hall on February 14 will be treated to a special curator-led version of the tour, which covers the Beatles, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Sex Pistols, U2 and more.
Among the artifacts featured are the handwritten lyrics to the Beach Boys' "God Only Knows," written by Tony Asher and Brian Wilson, and appearing on 1966's Pet Sounds. Wilson originally disliked the opening line of the song, "I may not always love you," feeling it was "too negative." After hearing the rest of Asher's lyrics, however, he changed his mind. "God Only Knows" was one of the first pop songs to use the word "god" in its title, and though he feared the worst, Wilson decided to keep the title because "god" is a spiritual word and because the Beach Boys would be making ground-breaking music. In the end, Paul McCartney, whose own music (specifically the Beatles' Rubber Soul) had provided much of the impetus for Pet Sounds, declared it the best song ever written.
Also on the tour is a Les Paul and Mary Ford wedding photo from December 29, 1949, located in the Museum's Architects of Rock and Roll – The New Sound: Les Paul and the Electric Guitar exhibit. Paul and Ford are one of rock's more wholesome love affairs, meeting in early 1945 when Ford (real name Colleen Summers) auditioned for a singing gig with Paul. The pair were married four years later. By the mid 1950s, the duo had more than a dozen Top 10 hits, including "Tennessee Waltz," "How High the Moon" and "Vaya Con Dios."

Did the Dallas Cowboys jump the shark before the season even started?
Yes, if you agree with the logic of retired Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jerome Bettis. Bettis appeared as a guest NFL analyst Monday morning on ESPN's Mike and Mike in the Morning television show and suggested the genesis of the Cowboys' dreadful season started with the Dez Bryant hazing incident — or technically, the hazing incident that never happened on the football field when Bryant refused to carry the should pads of veteran receiver Roy Williams earlier this summer.
The Cowboys were aiming to become the first team in NFL history to host and compete in a Super Bowl next February. Things quickly fell apart and after Wade Phillips was fired as the Cowboys head coach, the players posted a convincing 33-20 win against the New York Giants Sunday to earn their second win of the season.
The sudden turn-around in play prompted an interesting question from host Mike Golic.
Golic: When you see the 1-7 Cowboys all the sudden win the way they do and look like they're into it a little more, is that an indictment of Wade Phillips as a coach or the Dallas Cowboys players and the way they've been playing?
Jerome Bettis: I think it's a little bit of both, but it's more of an an indictment as a coach. Because let me tell you why, when you go back to training camp, there was one moment in training camp that really stood out among others. When you have a rookie receiver coming in, OK, he does not carry the shoulder pads of a veteran receiver, then it becomes an issue. The head coach comes out and says "we don't haze, we don't believe in that" you effectively have taken the veteran leadership role away from these guys. Now, these young players say "we don't have to worry about the veteran guys getting on us" because the head coach just gave us a pass. When that happens you undermine that locker room and how you police yourself in the locker room. And at that point, now you lose your players because their not going to fight for you because you're not going to fight for them.
So shoulder pads are now ruining seasons? Not sure if I'm buying that one.
I agree that Dez Bryant should have carried Roy Williams' shoulder pads out of tradition and respect, but let's not blow this into a major infraction here. The Cowboys clearly showed yesterday that the players change their moods more than Kim Kardashian changes boyfriends.

Bio-Modeling Systems and Persistent Systems entered a collaboration that marries non-mathematical heuristic modeling with mathematical modeling in an effort designed to increase the success rates of drug discovery and formulation development by the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. A key deliverable of this joint initiative is the development of a predictive in silico or computer-simulated skin model that will help eliminate the need to use animals in contact allergy testing. The deal follows on the heels of the European Union's ban on the import and sale of cosmetics containing ingredients tested on animals.
Bio-Modeling Systems will combine the outputs of its CADI™ modeling platform with a new software platform, Cell-in-Silico, developed by Persistent, resulting in heuristic model of skin cell interplay mechanisms to be enhanced through mathematical modeling. This strategic collaboration harnesses the scientific and bioinformatics capabilities of Bio-Modeling Systems and the information technology and scientific capabilities of Persistent Systems to provide the first truly holistic systems-based drug discovery solutions, according to Anand Deshpande, Ph.D., managing director and CEO, Persistent Systems.
"Bio-Modeling Systems and Persistent Systems have come together to develop a much-needed solution that will address the pharma and cosmetic industries' need for predictive modeling of skin in silico," said he explained. "Bio-Modeling Systems scientists have pioneered heuristic biological modeling with their CADI platform. By coupling this with Persistent Systems' strength in mathematical modeling and IT, we will develop a viable in silico alternative to animal testing."
"For the first time ever, mechanistic modeling and dynamics engineering will be merged, bringing a whole new level of understanding to the multi-scale biological space, enabling us to develop a fully integrated, outstanding set of solutions to previously intractable biotechnological problems," said François Iris, CSO, Bio-Modeling Systems. We look forward to addressing the industry's challenges head-on with this powerful offering."

During the past 20 years, many things have helped mold college football into the game that it is today. Near the top of that list is the increased importance of the kicking game.
It used to be that place-kickers were local, non-scholarship athletes who made good. Now, top high school and prep kickers are as highly recruited as some quarterbacks and wide receivers.
With national championships often won or lost on one swing of the leg, the importance of having a top kicker cannot be understated.
The Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award annually recognizes college football's top place-kicker.
UCLA Place-Kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn
Wins the Lou Groza Award
During Thursday night's live Home Depot College Football Awards, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission announced UCLA Senior Ka'imi Fairbairn as the winner of the 2015 National Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award.
"What an honor to be nominated and to win this prestigious award," said Fairbairn. "Thanks to the Palm Beach County Sports Commission and the Lou Groza Committee."
In 2015, Ka'imi Fairbairn became the all-time scoring leader for the Pac-12 Conference, where football has been played for 100 years. He is also the only football player to score over 400 points in the history of the Pac-12 Conference, and the only Bruin to record 4 consecutive 100 point seasons at the University of California Los Angeles, which has fielded a football team for 96 years. During the 2015 season, he made 20 field goals, including one from 60 yards, which is a UCLA record, and was perfect on his 44 point after touchdown kicks.
Fairbairn's most memorable game of the season came on October 22, when he led the Bruins to a 40 to 24 victory over the 20th ranked California Golden Bears. During the game, Fairbairn made four field goals, including the 60 yarder at the halftime gun, which is the second longest field goal in Pac-12 history.
The Hawaii native is the second Groza winner from UCLA, following 2009 winner, Kai Forbath. The national panel of 750 voters is comprised of college football media, FBS coaches and SIDs, and previous Groza finalists.
The award is named in honor of one of the all-time great kickers in football history, Lou Groza. Groza played 21 seasons for the Cleveland Browns setting numerous franchise records, including most games played, most points scored, and an amazing 107 consecutive games in which he scored a point. Groza was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1974.

In today's climate it's probably sage advice. Sounds more like pre WW11 Europe everyday.
Brown shirts everywhere.
Very sad indeed. It kinda takes some of the fun out of this sport nowadays. Back in the day it was a blast to go to the range and show off some target Mauser or Springfield you just finished building, now there's so many crooks or libs around,, you hardly dare show anything to anyone!
Anybody that builds something illegal nowadays is stupid IMO. Just asking for issues.
One of the many reasons I've just built target guns in the past, plus there my cup of tea anyhow. Never was much into the exotic stuff that much, sure I've had a few, but I like hitting stuff, not just throwing lead around helter skelter, even though it's fun sometimes. And with all the precautions I've taken no one will get away with robbing me anyways. Between 3 Chows, infrared cameras, good safes, CS, bear traps(yes I found a new one),R/C cross bows and shotguns , closed circuit cameras, numerous 220v surprises and some of the other unmentioned nasty surprises I have in store for a crook, they wouldn't get far around here. Remember the "fly swatters" in Nam,,,,got a couple of those set up too by R/C on a truck leaf spring!! OUCH, that will leave a mark!!!! Plus there is always at least one of us around the house at all times. All or any of those could be Ugly surprises for some one feeling brave around here! That's for damn sure.
Ask "stumpy" in Danamora Prison,,, he'll tell ya all about the bear traps!
That's not even taking into account what I carry or have stashed in the corners and conveniently located, or the nosy gun toting neighbors on both sides of me. Not much goes unnoticed around here.

An L.A. State of Mind
THE PARTY Following a 12-year hiatus from the City of Angels, Tommy Hilfiger marked the opening of his 6,000-square-foot Robertson boutique with a high-profile, in-store party and a memorable after-hours affair at Soho House. THE PLAYERS Tommy and Dee Hilfiger, Owen Wilson, Kristin Davis, Neil Patrick Harris, Olivia Munn, Katy Perry, Ludo and Krissy Lefebvre THE HIGHLIGHTS The evening began for many with a cocktail hour at the new Tommy Hilfiger West Coast flagship hosted by Hilfiger, his wife, Jessica Alba and Cash Warren, Zooey Deschanel, Elizabeth Stewart and Maria Arena Bell. Friends, including Lisa Vanderpump and Drew Barrymore—whose pinot grigio was poured for the celebration—mingled throughout the space. The festivities continued at Soho House, where Alicia Keys serenaded the well-heeled crowd with hits including "No One" and "Empire State of Mind." This was followed by a surprise performance from Guns N' Roses, as Axl Rose took to the stage and belted out classics including "Welcome to the Jungle," "Patience," and, at the request of Dee Hilfiger, "Knockin' on Heaven's Door."

Since its inception in 1958, the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame has inducted 85 standout players, managers and front-office executives. The Reds first teamed up with the Cincinnati Chapter of Commerce in 1958 to promote the inductions, which were voted on by Reds fans.
After a nine-year hiatus from 1989-'97, the local chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America in cooperation with Reds executive John Allen revived the inductions in 1998. Fan voting returned for the 2005 class, a change that followed the 2004 opening of the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame and Museum adjacent to Great American Ball Park. Hall of Fame elections were held the next year as well before the Reds Hall of Fame adopted a biennial election schedule beginning in 2007 that asked fans to vote for the 2008 Reds Hall of Fame class. This was repeated in 2009 for the 2010 class, 2011 for the 2012 class and in 2013 for the 2014 class.
The winner of the 2013 fan vote was outfielder Ken Griffey, Jr. In addition to Griffey, the 2014 Reds Hall of Fame Class included first basemen second baseman Ron Oester, outfielder Dave Parker and first baseman Jake Beckley who were selected for induction by the Reds Hall of Fame Veterans Committee. The selection of all player in each election is ratified by the Reds Hall of Fame Board of Directors.
Election rules and procedures are reviewed annually by the Election Governance Committee of the Reds Hall of Fame. The final authority for elections to the Hall of Fame is vested in the Board of Directors of the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum.
Purchase your tickets ahead of your visit to the Reds Hall of Fame and Musuem.

|Webb honored
Idaho's Gordon Webb was chosen the Western Athletic Conference Golfer of the Month
for October.
Webb, a senior from Malta, Mont. (Western New Mexico), had two top-five finishes in October. At the Jim Colbert Intercollegiate in Manhattan, Kansas, Oct. 1-2, Webb finished in fourth place with a nine-over par 225 (78-77-70) to help the Vandals to a second-place team finish.
Idaho capped the month with a victory at the Price's Give 'Em Five Invitational at El Paso, Texas. The Vandals won in a field that included four other WAC teams. Webb won the individual title with an eight-under par 208 (70-68-70), and was the only player to shoot under par in each of the three rounds. Webb averaged 72.17 strokes per round in the two tournaments.

Jean-François Richet, "Mesrine: Killer Instinct" (2008).
With his cheekbones, scarily gaunt features, and what seems like a perpetual sneer, Vincent Cassel has a face made for gangster movies. But there's no denying his low-key charm as well (though I think my women friends would disagree with "low-key") — witness the twinkle in his eye when, like a shark, he encircles his female prey — and in that sense he's wonderfully suited to play Jacques Mesrine, notorious robber of banks and jewelry stores and wanted in probably just as many countries. A smooth criminal indeed.

GOES 12 was a 980 kg, 973 W spacecraft that carried an IR imager, a "sounder", and an X-ray imager. The IR imager was a Cassegrain telescope covering five wavelength channels, 0.55-0.75, 3.80-4.00, 6.50-7.00, 10.20-11.20, and 11.50-12.50 microns. It provided images covering 3,000 km x 3,000 km every 41 seconds, by scanning the area in 16 square kilometer sections. The "sounder" provided vertical distribution of temperature, moisture and ozone, by passive monitoring in 18 depth-dependent wavelengths. (Long wave IR: 14.71, 14.37, 14.06, 13.64, 13.37, 12.66, and 12.02 microns. Medium wave IR: 11.03, 9.71, 7.43, 7.02, and 6.51 microns. Short wave IR: 4.57, 4.52, 4.45, 4.13, 3.98, and 3.74 microns. There was also another band at visible wavelength 0.7 microns, to provide pictures of cloud tops.) The sounder covered an area of 3,000 km x 3,000 km in about 42 minutes. Another instrument package named SEM (Space Environment Monitor) monitored the energetic electrons and protons in the magnetosphere and the X-rays from the Sun. The above three had been carried on the earlier GOES missions, but GOES 12 carried also an X-ray imager providing an X-ray (about 0.1-1.0 nm wavelength) picture of the solar disk. For some months, the spacecraft was to be on standby, to be activated and moved to a desired longitude. As of 5 September 2001 located at 89.93 deg W drifting at 0.001 deg W per day. As of 2007 Mar 11 located at 74.73W drifting at 0.014E degrees per day.

Guest Post:
Why the sudden clamor for angel-themed paranormals in today's market?
As for the angel trend in paranormal these days, I don't think anybody can say for sure what drives any trend. My best guess is that there are a lot of writers who want to expand the paranormal genre, who are looking for something other than vampires. There are so many amazing, spectacularly outstanding vampire stories out there.
There's another element to why I think this trend is catching on.
We live in difficult times.
The world has been sunk in a recession for several years. As I write this, the UK is reeling in the aftermath of mass riots. Drought-stricken East Africa is struggling with a famine. The environment seems to be falling apart. With the incredibly wide range of the Internet, mass tragedies hit with a harder impact than ever before. These days, I believe global events affect us all on a far more personal level than they did in the past.
Ultimately, I think the interest in the angel trend stems from people's need to escape from the overwhelming nature of modern life, even if only for a little while. And our desire to explore the idea that there really is a reason for everything that happens.
Stories about angels and demons give us a chance to think about big concepts like redemption and forgiveness. And about resistance in the face of the greatest adversity possible: pure evil.
Was this market need taken into consideration when writing WDFTT?
No way. The conventional advice is this: do not write to catch a trend, because trends are impossible to catch.
I started writing Where Demons Fear to Tread in January 2009. At that time, there was such thing as an angel trend. There were a few angel books out there, but nothing you could identify as "a market need."
What I did take into consideration was, as I mentioned above, the state of the world and what I want to contribute to it. Above all, I wanted to write a story that celebrates the power of love.
By the time I met my editor in October 2009, there were whisperings of an angel trend. I was extremely lucky that everything fell into place for this book. And now, here we are nearly two years later, in the middle of what you call a "clamor." :)

Thanks to Planned TV Arts, I have one copy of WHERE DEMONS FEAR TO TREAD to give away! Here's how to enter:

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Fruit & Nut Trees
Fruit Tree Care (page 3 of 3)
by National Gardening Association Editors
Protecting Trees from Winter Injury
Paint tree trunks white in late fall to prevent winter sunscald. This damage, often worse than that from absolute cold, occurs when the unshaded trunks heat up to high temperatures during the day, then rapidly cool to very low temperatures at night. Combine 1 part interior white latex paint to 3 parts water, and spray or brush this mixture on trunks up to the first main limb.
Rabbit and rodent repellents can be mixed into the paint to prevent these animals from feeding on the bark in the winter. Or place 1/4-inch mesh hardware-cloth cages around your trees, making sure the guards reach above the expected snow level. You can also use white plastic tree guards to prevent both sunscald and rodent damage. Pull mulch away from the tree trunks in fall to avoid attracting rodents. Deer feeding on the tender twigs and branches in winter can cause a lot of damage. The most effective deer repellent, according to those troubled by them, is an egg spray. Blend three raw eggs with two or three cups of water in a blender, then dilute this mixture with more water in a 3-gallon sprayer.

Allow me a moment to pop on my practical hat: I love cardigan sweaters, and I always have. They're the unsung heroines of functional fashion, I tell you, and they are sadly overlooked. A cardigan is comfortable yet polished, and in an instant it adds warmth, color and texture to everything from jeans to a little black dress. I have quite a collection, as you may have guessed, and some I've had for many, many years (they hold up AND they're trend-proof!). For one, I'm always cold, and for another, I like the coverage (no one would confuse my arms with Kyra Sedgewick's, if you get my gist). Recently I pulled out an oldie but goodie—a DKNY cardigan-ish piece (at left, $195; dkny.com) that's a hybrid between a sweater and a wrap (they call it a "Cozy"). Oh the joy! I feel like I've rekindled an old flame. The color is great (mine is emerald green, my favorite hue), the length is perfection, and it can be wrapped or tied in a million different ways. Go get yourself one, you won't be sorry.
Go! Buy! Be chic!

Green Materials Handling; Industry Outlook Survey
April 01, 2010 - MMH Editorial
How green are your materials handling systems? That may not be a question you're currently asking your materials handling suppliers or one that your customers are asking you today. After all, most certification groups don't yet factor in materials handling systems when they're looking at the impact of a distribution center or manufacturing plant on the environment.
That, however, may soon change. Ninety-two percent of the respondents to our annual Industry Outlook Survey said they expect environmental sustainability to be very (48%) or somewhat (44%) important in the next two years. It is already a priority in the board rooms at Fortune 500 corporations and a requirement for doing business with state and federal governments.
Most companies launch their sustainability initiatives in those areas of their business where they can have the most impact, like fuel consumption for a transportation company. But just as lean initiatives started in the factory and migrated to the warehouse and the office, it's only a matter of time before sustainability efforts filter down to the warehouse.
"I think most of our clients already have sustainability on their radar," says Paul Evanko, a senior vice president for St. Onge (717-804-8181, http://www.stonge.com)), a design and consulting company. "It may not be No. 1 on their list, but it's become a corporate priority."
What's more, Evanko adds, there are plenty of areas in a facility—from efficient storage and picking to carton cubing to smart controls on equipment—where materials handling can enable a sustainable operation once someone starts asking the question: How green are your materials handling systems? (For those attending NA 2010 this month in Cleveland, Evanko will be one of the presenters on sustainability.)
To get a snapshot of where the industry is today, Modern asked more than 20 suppliers of materials handling products and systems how they are going green in their manufacturing processes and products, and how they can enable sustainable materials handling.
Conveyor, sortation and storage
Engineered for efficiency
One way to reduce the consumption of energy in an automated materials handling system is to operate in the most efficient manner while still meeting throughput requirements, says Jerry Koch, Intelligrated's (866-936-7300, http://www.intelligrated.com)) product director of software and controls. Intelligrated recently implemented a system that allows the customer to enter in the demand for the day. With that information, the control system can calculate the least amount of energy usage required to run the system and meet that demand. Although it has not been implemented, Intelligrated also designed a system that integrates with a building's infrastructure. "If we no longer have product flowing in an area of the building, we can put the conveyor in sleep mode and tell the building to turn off the lighting in that area," Koch says. "As the cost of energy rises, we believe the technology will become viable."
