Waters will continue to rise on the Chehalis River until they crest at just past flood level, but overall rainfall should ease off in the county, allowing the rain to absorb into the soil and residents of the county to get back to their lives.
Gusting winds of up to 60 mph will continue for the next few days with intermittent downpours. The wind combined with ground that is saturated means there is still a risk for landslides and trees that could uproot in the wind, said Charles Wallace, deputy director of Emergency Management for Grays Harbor County.
The worst may be over for now, but that depends on the weather, and predicting the weather depends on the accuracy of the models forecasters use.
"On Thursday there is a chance for stronger winds, depending on their models," Wallace said.
Over the past 48 hours, areas on the Harbor have been saturated with between 3.9 and 5.47 inches of rain.
As of 10 a.m. on Tuesday, the Chehalis River was at a level of 20.58 feet and was predicted to pass flood stage at 21 feet sometime around noon. By 4 p.m. today it is predicted to crest at 21.35 feet. During the same timeframe, the Satsop had already started to recede.
Monday's storm caused downed trees, flooding and contributed to a handful of vehicle accidents, including an overturned semi tractor-trailer truck on the Chehalis River Bridge. Also, a truck in Hoquiam was damaged when a tree, approximately 100 feet tall, driven by winds, snapped in the middle and fell on the vehicle. No one was injured in the accident, according to Hoquiam Police Chief Jeff Myers.
No state highways were damaged in the storm, but the heavy rains damaged a culvert that ran under C Street in Cosmopolis. The culvert collapsed, then a hole opened up in the road above it when a woman drove over it. The car landed headfirst in the hole. The woman and her two children inside were unharmed.
"We had an excessive amount of water that came down into the creek in a very short time," said Cosmopolis Mayor Vickie Raines, explaining the opening in the ground.
Raines said the road will be reopened as soon as possible, "We are going to do a temporary fix and close the hole to allow for the road to be reopened to traffic," she said. Then sometime in the spring or summer, the road will be permanently repaired, she said.

New London — When Hannah Hallisey stopped by the Gemma E. Moran United Way/Labor Food Center on Tuesday, she had in tow more than the 300 pounds of food she had collected to donate for the holiday season.
Standing next to the bounty of canned goods and nonperishable items, which together weighed nearly 10 times more than she did, the 6-year-old said she wanted to donate the food "to help the people who don't have food."
"It is just so wonderful that she is starting at such a young age to be aware of the need and to care for other people," Sara Chaney, product manager at the food center, said. "It's very special for someone her age to want to help others."
Over the last week and a half, Hannah collected the food from family members, friends and neighbors, her mother, Katie, said.
"She got about 40 bags of food in total," Katie Hallisey said. "She got 18 just (Monday) alone. They just kept coming."
Hannah, who lives in New London and is in first grade at St. Joseph School, is no stranger to the food center. After seeing televised appeals for assistance in the wake of Superstorm Sandy, she collected and donated 207 pounds of food to the center.
"She kept seeing commercials on TV and she said, 'I'm sad, I want to help,' so she decided she would collect food to donate," Katie Hallisey said. "And this year she said she wanted to do it again."

In this study, an approximate analytical-numerical procedure is used to model natural convection cooling of heat sinks using electronics cooling software. The analysis evolves in two stages: a numerical simulation of the detailed heat sink, and a simulation of a compact model that exhibits similar thermal and flow resistance characteristics to those of the actual heat sink. From the analysis, the thermal resistance of the heat sink is evaluated. Subsequently, the effective thermal conductivity that must be assigned to the compact heat sink is determined using the Nusselt number correlation for free convection over a vertical plate. Due to the algebraic form of the Nusselt number correlation, the effective thermal conductivity is determined in an iterative fashion. The purpose of a compact heat sink is to reduce computational effort while retaining a desired level of accuracy. In this article, the compact modeling scheme is first applied to either an extruded or a pin-fin heat sink in order to validate the procedure under laminar conditions. Subsequently, the same approach is applied to a multichip system consisting of a set of pin-fin heat sinks placed in series. At both individual and system-level models, it is found that the compact approach results in substantial savings in mesh size and computing time. These savings are accompanied by a small acceptable error that is less than 10% relative to the detailed model predictions

Edward Said -- the renowned literary critic, Palestinian intellectual and political activist -- has spent much of his life, both on and off the page, working to bring about a "true reconciliation" between Israel and Palestine. Said's latest book, Peace and Its Discontents, is a collection of twenty recent essays on the Middle East peace process, reprinted from several leading Arabic-language newspapers and from journals like The Nation and the London Review of Books. Readers interested in Middle East politics, especially those sympathetic to the Palestinian struggle, will find this book a useful, engaging guide to some of the wrenching debates taking place in that troubled region. Unfortunately, these pieces often overlap and relentlessly drive home a single point: that the peace accord between Israel and the PLO is a sham. Said occasionally strays from Middle East politics to accuse the U.S. of being an "imperial power" eager to exploit Palestinian markets, but for the most part he condemns Yasir Arafat and his cronies (whom he compares to Vichy French collaborators) for signing an agreement that gives Israel "all of its tactical and strategic objectives at the expense of nearly every proclaimed principle of Arab and Palestinian nationalism and struggle." The PLO, Said writes, betrayed the Palestinian people by relinquishing Palestinian claims to Jerusalem and ruining any hopes of an independent Palestinian state.
Said offers few concrete suggestions for improving the situation. Although he renounces violence, his vague calls for a new Palestinian resistance movement seem unlikely to resolve the profound political and economic problems that plague the Middle East. Said's prose is as elegant as ever, and he calls much-needed attention to the sufferings of the Palestinian people. But more than anything else, Peace and Its Discontents reminds us of the fierce nationalists -- on all sides -- who reject compromise and concessions in favor of militancy and patriotism. -- Salon

The following is the working outline: A. Articles and Analyses 1. Ubers 2. OU 3. UU 4. Little Cup 5. Articles B. Projects 1. Ingame Expansion 2. 2v2 3. Concision C. HTML Workshop D. Archives Here's how I'd like the division of labor to go: optimally, there should be one or two people responsible for each of the sections under part A; the project leaders for each project under part B should write up a cohesive and general mission (rules, other things) thread for each of the projects. So if you'll be available to help, that'd be great. (oh, and it would be most useful if you have C&C mods)

Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 0 mins
Wonderful breakfast idea for those who love pumpkin(like me)This recipe is a slightly altered version that I got from Sparkpeople.com
Ingredients Nutrition
- 118.29 ml old-fashioned oatmeal, uncooked
- 118.29 ml canned pumpkin
- 236.59 ml water
- 0.25 ml ground cardamom
- 1.23 ml pumpkin pie spice
- 14.79 ml Splenda sugar substitute
- Mix all ingredients.
- Cook over low heat for 20 minutes, or until thick.
- If you want something a bit creamier, use skim milk instead of water.
- For Vegan do not use milk.

Good idea but definitely not the recipe for us. Even after quadrupling the sugar (used real sugar- no artificial sugar in this house), adding copious amounts of nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla, all we can taste is pumpkin. No sweet, no spice, just pumpkin. But I like the idea so I'll play with the amounts. Thanks for the idea though!
Very tasty breakfast. I cooked this in the microwave for about 5 minutes and it worked well. Also, I added ground flax, stevia, pecans, cinnamon, and milk instead of water. It was a nice change from my regular oatmeal and I'd definitely make it again. Thanks!
What a fantastic idea! I had some leftover canned pumpkin from another recipe and thought it might be good in oatmeal. I wanted a simpler recipe than the others I found on Zaar and this one fit my needs perfectly. I used quick-cooking oats and skipped the sweetener (I'm cutting back on real and artificial sugars). I was in a hurry, so I used the microwave with good results.

I'm sure the recreational center is one of the nicest in the nation.

Personally I have grown tired of the isolated location of Morehead, and there is only so much to do there. Winters there are miserable, the whole campus dies down and hibernates, it's rare an activities are going on during this season of the year..I've considered transferring for these very reasons. Other than that, the Recreation and Wellness center is a nice place to get away to, and the facility itself hosts an abundance of classes and areas for different activities. The equipment is up-to-date as well.
Campus Quality:
It seems that if you are not a part of Greek Life, it is hard to meet a nice network of friends. If you want a fun social life, you most likely will need to join a sports team or go Greek. I almost joined a Greek organization but decided against it because of costs and pressure. I honestly don't pay attention to campus traditions or anything like that..it seems that Homecoming is the biggest event of the school year. The library is in a beautiful building with a good amount of technology and materials offered. Eagle Lake is a beautiful landscape to escape to, and it's convenient since it's located on campus. I'm also very happy that Morehead State has embraced a "green" movement with newly placed recycling bins all around dorms and campus walk-ways.

Hello, I'm recently finishing a wordpress theme and I have a couple of questions regarding the best way to retrieve the themes options.
Almost all tutorials I've read mention that the following code snippet should be used in every page I need such options:
global $options;
foreach ($options as $value) {
if (get_settings( $value['id'] ) === FALSE) { $$value['id'] = $value['std']; } else { $$value['id'] = get_settings( $value['id'] ); }
That works just perfectly, however sometimes I just need 1 or 2 variables from the themes options and loading all of them just - for that one variable - seems excessive, so I use:
And that also works, however it seems to me that the first method only require on access to the DB and the second method requires one access per get_option call, however I'm not loading all the options into memory. My question is the following:
Witch is better? Loading all of them, accessing them one y one or using both methods depending on the situation? If so, how many times is using get_option too many times? :P

Author of The Divide: American Injustice in the Age of Wealth Gap
In the New York Times bestseller The Divide: American Injustice in the Age of the Wealth Gap, Matt Taibbi takes readers on a galvanizing journey through both sides of our new system of justice—the untouchably wealthy and the criminalized poor. As he narrates these incredible stories, he draws out and analyzes their common source, and unveils what we need to do to stand up against the troubling trend of the Divide. In his talks, Taibbi paints an alarming portrait of contemporary American life—where our basic rights are now determined by our wealth or poverty—and provides a way forward against this urgent crisis.
Taibbi is also the author of Griftopia, one of the most entertainingly quotable, scathing, and illuminating histories of the economic crisis. In 2008, he won the National Magazine Award for his columns in Rolling Stone (where he was a contributing editor). He is also the author of The Great Derangement: A Terrifying True Story of War, Politics and Religion.

Academic Cultures: Professional Preparation and the Teaching Life
- Editor: Sean P. Murphy
- Pages: ix & 247 pp.
- Published: 2008
- ISBN: 9781603290012 (Paperback)
- ISBN: 9781603290005 (Cloth)
"The authors of these essays intend to bridge the chasm between ivory tower and real-world academia. . . . In candid, often vivid first-person accounts, they explain how they have not merely made peace with their situation, but thrived."
"I would strongly recommend that any soon-to-be faculty member read the book. It's good to start thinking about where you might be going before you go there."
For better or for worse, the goal of securing tenure-track assistant professorships frames the graduate school experience for most students. Yet what the graduate experience boasts in scholarly training it lacks in institutional training—that is, in guiding future faculty members to see and experience positively the wide variety of prospective professional identities rooted in assorted academic cultures.
Academic Cultures: Professional Preparation and the Teaching Life gives voice to diversity in postsecondary education, a strength of the system rather than a problem to redress. Contributors, whether they work at a private high school or a public comprehensive university, an open-access institution or a religiously affiliated college, disclose to readers the details and outcomes of their cross-sector transitions. Their accounts show how faculty members from a range of institutions have built rewarding professional lives based on the traditional components of the professoriat—teaching, service, and scholarship.

Michelle Obama took the stage as one of the most popular figures in the Democratic Party. Her self-described task was simple: "remind" voters of the values that drive her husband.
She did just that, using her time in the spotlight to say she has "seen firsthand that being president doesn't change who you are – it reveals who you are."
Her speech had many echoes of the well-received one she gave in 2008 – with a few personal updates and her assessment of the administration's accomplishments.
On the personal: "When people ask me whether being in the White House has changed my husband, I can honestly say that when it comes to his character, and his convictions, and his heart, Barack Obama is still the same man I fell in love with all those years ago."
On the political, she touted her husband's signing of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, his bailout of the auto industry, push to keep student loan interest rates low and pass the health care law.
"When it comes to the health of our families, Barack refused to listen to all those folks who told him to leave health reform for another day, another president," said the first lady who was reportedly one of the figures in the White House who encouraged the president to pursue the health care law early in his term. "He didn't care whether it was the easy thing to do politically – that's not how he was raised – he cared that it was the right thing to do."
She did not mention Mitt Romney by name and said the word Republican only once. But she did make reference to the GOP nominee's wealth. "For Barack, success isn't about how much money you make, it's about the difference you make in people's lives," she said earning one of her biggest rounds of applause.
She also talked about who she and her husband are – not an easy task given that they are one of the most visible couples in the country. To do that, Michelle Obama talked about she and Barack Obama's middle-class roots, repeating stories about her father and his grandmother that she has told often at campaign events.
At some points the first lady sounded a bit like Ann Romney, who told of her hard-luck newlywed stories at the RNC convention. The first lady said her husband was still "the guy who'd picked me up for our dates in a car that was so rusted out, I could actually see the pavement going by through a hole in the passenger side door. He was the guy whose proudest possession was a coffee table he'd found in a dumpster."
Michelle Obama also had her own riff on love. "I didn't think it was possible, but today, I love my husband even more than I did four years ago…even more than I did 23 years ago, when we first met. … I love that he's never forgotten how he started. I love that we can trust Barack to do what he says he's going to do, even when it's hard – especially when it's hard."
This speech did end differently than the one in 2008. Michelle Obama's daughters, Sasha and Malia, were not present for her remarks – though a teary-eyed Obama made clear her "most important title" is still "mom-in-chief." They started school this week and won't be in Charlotte until Thursday when their dad speaks.

Why am I suddenly getting a trailing slash warning upon activating W3 Total Cache, and that I must use basic disk mode instead?
Seriously? I remember when the WordPress gods deemed the trailing slash dated and no longer needed and specifically coded the CMS to redirect any trailing slash permalink to a non-trailing slash. I know because I had to hack my sitemap plugin back then so it'd remove the trailing slashes and prevent redirect problems. Thanks WordPress for that grief.
But now apparently it's needed again if I want to use this cache plugin properly. Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.
Well, glad we got that sorted out. What's next, I need to remove the www prefix so Google can find my site again?


text: Yesterday, I got a 40" 1080p Dynex from BestBuy. *My parents have had a Dynex for about 2 1/2 years, so I knew what I was getting, and it was in my price range* My Xbox is a launch model though, and only has component cables. It still looks sweet in HD, but my dads 720p looks just as good; he has HDMI on his Elite. I know that HDMI > component, but I have two different profiles on my current Xbox. The old one downloaded Comedy Central stand up, all the Oblivion DLC, and half of my arcade titles (about 12), while my new one has downloaded pretty much everything else. I know if I get a new Xbox, I wont be able to use my old profiles DLC/Arcade purchases, even though they're mine. I read the FAQ and saw that a supposed rep said to call and ask for a license transfer, but would that work? Would deleting everything and re-downloading work? Why does Microsoft have to make things so damned difficult for people who bought the original, and now have to suffer to upgrade to HDMI. And, do I have to actually purchase a completely new Xbox? Thanks to all who help me out! :Bounce:

The Cherry Hill Market hosted none other than Borough President Marty Markowitz at its "grand opening" last week - despite findings from the city that the business is in clear violation of the Sheepshead Bay Special District.
"I couldn't figure it out," Community Board 15 Chair Theresa Scavo said. "It would be a horrible thing if you're saying it is illegal, to walk in there and wish the guy the best of luck."
From the outset, Scavo, along with State Senator Carl Kruger, have been Cherry Hill's most vocal critics, charging that the establishment is more retail market than sit-down restaurant and in violation of the Sheepshead Bay Special District.
The eatery, located inside the landmark Lundy's building at 1901 Emmons Avenue, has actually been open throughout the spring and summer.
In that time, both the Department of Buildings (DOB) and the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) cited Cherry Hill with serious violations.
In August, the DOB cited Cherry Hill for operating a place of assembly without a certificate of occupancy.
Other violations issued over the summer subjected Cherry Hill to fines totaling $15,000.
"They can't operate a market there because that's contrary to zoning," DOB assistant press secretary Carly Sullivan said.
Cherry Hill has a court date with the Environmental Control Board on October 5.
In a statement, Markowitz spokesperson Mark Zustovich said, "The borough president regularly attends the openings of new businesses that provide jobs and services in Brooklyn, and he is optimistic that the new owners and the city will work to resolve any issue that might exist."
According to the DOB, Cherry Hill has two options: restore the building to legal use or get a variance from the Board of Standards & Appeals.
"The agencies have issued the violations as they deemed appropriate and nothing has changed," a spokesperson for Kruger said.
In addition to its problems with the DOB, Cherry Hill still has yet to resolve its issues with the Landmarks Preservation Commission, which started when they installed a new sidewalk around the Lundy's building.
"The progress towards getting this permit has stalled," LPC spokesperson Lisi de Bourbon said. "We got an application to legalize the sidewalk but we haven't heard anything back from the owner."
Cherry Hill operators and the building's landlord have insisted from the very beginning that they have been working with the city and that the market is an asset to the community.

good idear
Crap! I'm going to that wsba thing and was hoping to get a look at all the craziness.
Why does the WSBA hate First Amendment rights? ;)
Actually, having a bunch of lawyers around wouldn't be such a bad idea. If these nazis say or do anything that can be legally classified as a hate crime we can throw the book at them later.
The protest rally WILL take place at the Lynnwood Convention Center beginning at 9:45-noonish. The LCC and Lynnwood PD have been great in assisting us with our protest rally.
PLEASE be peaceful, powerful and respectuful. We are there to make a statement, not an ass of ourselves. Our message to the public will get lost if we don't remain united. Plus, there are other conventions going on at the same time, so not everyone entering LCC is a member of WotW. I hope to see you there with balloons, banners, posters and friends! Peace

I recently moved a blog using galleries in posts from one server (where it was running version 3.2 and template 2010) to a server where I could run 3.5 and template 2012. Since I had just successfully transferred a similar blog which used regular images instead of galleries, I was surprised to find that the galleries didn't import with the posts, even though I checked "attach media."
I'd really love to preserve the date and caption information for the galleries, plus save myself the labor of importing the images manually - what can I try to reconnect my galleries and posts. Re-import? Move the entire database? Or is there another solution?

Barbecues and Tulips
On Sunday after breakfast with my mom, Chris and I had a barbecue to attend. Our friend Rob and his girlfriend Caitlin have a big yard with a grill at their apartment complex, so we headed over for some food and good times!
I brought a couscous salad and some brownies to the shindig.
Better than crack brownies? Yes, please.
Someone made these cute little pudding cups, too. They were delicious!
Chris was the grill master!
He grilled up a salmon burger for me! It was tasty! I also enjoyed some pasta salad along with some couscous.
In my couscous salad:
- 1 cup of whole wheat couscous (prepared with veggie broth according to package)
- 2 TBSP of parsley
- lemon juice from half of a lemon
- olive oil
- pecans
And then we watched the guys play kickball.
Awesome, guys! It was quite amusing.
After the picnic, we went back to Chris' to drop some things off. We also decided to check out Tulipfest since it seemed to be winding down and I had an urge to see the tulips.
Gorgeous, as always!
I also saw these neat lawn ornaments.
'Tis springtime in Albany!

More Than 6 Million Syrians Driven From Their Homes: UN
More than one-quarter of Syria's 22 million people have been driven from their homes since the rebellion against President Bashar al-Assad started in 2011, the United Nations said today.
More than 6 million Syrians have been "torn" from their homes, with 2 million seeking shelter in neighboring Iraq, Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan, and another 4.25 million trapped in Syria, the UN refugee agency said in an e-mailed statement.
"Syria has become the great tragedy of this century -- a disgraceful humanitarian calamity with suffering and displacement unparalleled in recent history," António Guterres, the Geneva-based UN High Commissioner for Refugees, said in the statement.
About 5,000 Syrians on average flee to neighboring countries every day, creating an "overwhelming burden" on their infrastructures, economies and societies, according to the statement. Lebanon hosts the most Syrian refugees at 716,000, followed by Jordan with 515,000 and Turkey with 460,000, according to the UNHCR.
Ministers from the four nations will meet with the UNHCR in Geneva on Sept. 4 to discuss ways to boost international support to help them shoulder the burden, according to the UNHCR.
The 2 1/2-year conflict that began on the heels of revolts against authoritarian rulers in other Arab nations is escalating. U.S. President Barack Obama is seeking congressional approval to strike Syria for alleged chemical weapons use. A U.S. intelligence assessment said that on Aug. 21 Assad's forces killed more than 1,400 people, including more than 400 children, with a chemical attack.
Death Toll
The UN investigation into the incident is still under way, and has yet to confirm that Syrian forces used nerve gas in the conflict that's already killed more than 100,000 people, including some 7,000 children.
Angelina Jolie, Hollywood actress and the UN special envoy on refugee issues, expressed "dismay" at the gravity of the situation in Syria, lamenting the lack of international unity on a resolution to the war.
"The world is tragically disunited on how to end the Syria conflict," Jolie said in the statement. "But there should be no disagreement over the need to alleviate human suffering, and no doubt of the world's responsibility to do more."
More than 1,000 UN staff from 17 affiliated agencies, including the UNHCR, will continue doing humanitarian work in Syria independent of any possible U.S. military action, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's spokesman Martin Nesirky told reporters yesterday in New York.

AbstractThe innovation proposed here is the use of carbon thin film cathodes as an electron source for electric propulsion for microspacecraft applications. Hall and ion thrusters are two types of electric propulsion systems that are commonly used on earth-orbiting spacecraft and very recently on interplanetary probes. These propulsion systems use hollow cathodes to thermionically emit electrons that are used for propellant ionization and ion beam neutralization. These cathodes require propellants and heaters that place lower limits on their size and power scalability and efficiency. Field emission cathodes compatible with electric propulsion systems will fill voids in electric propulsion technology that are needed for deep-space microspacecraft applications. Other field emission electron sources such as metal microtip cathodes are unstable and strongly susceptible to damage in the thruster ion environment. Preliminary tests on carbon film cathodes show them to be much more robust. We propose to demonstrate the feasibility of using carbon cathodes in electric propulsion systems for microspacecraft applications.

Canadian Stocks Rise as Gold, Silver Climb to Record Highs
Canadian stocks rose the most in five weeks, led by commodity producers, as raw-material and energy futures gained after the Bank of Japan cut its benchmark interest rate.
Barrick Gold Corp., the world's largest gold producer, jumped 2.3 percent as the metal rallied 1.9 percent, the most in three weeks. Canadian Natural Resources Ltd., Canada's second-largest energy company by market value, increased 2.7 percent as crude oil climbed. Teck Resources Ltd., the country's biggest base-metals and coal producer, advanced 4.1 percent as zinc soared the most since Aug. 26 in London.
The Standard & Poor's/TSX Composite Index, rose 175.06 points, or 1.4 percent, to 12,498 as of 4:00 p.m. in Toronto the biggest gain since Aug. 27.
"The trade seems to be just believing governments are going to pull out all the stops to try to restart demand, which hasn't worked so far," said Danielle Park, who helps manage C$200 million ($197 million) as a money manager at Venable Park Investment Counsel Inc. in Barrie, Ontario.
The S&P/TSX surged 9.5 percent last quarter, the biggest quarterly gain since the three months ending September 2009, as gold gained for an eighth-straight quarter. Gold companies make up 11 percent of Canadian stocks by market value, according to Bloomberg data.
World stocks advanced and precious metals jumped after the Bank of Japan reduced its overnight call rate to a range of 0 percent to 0.1 percent from 0.1 percent. The central bank pledged to keep the benchmark interest rate at "virtually zero" until deflation has ended and set up a 5 trillion yen ($60 billion) fund to buy government bonds and other assets.
Australian Rate
Also today, the Reserve Bank of Australia kept its benchmark interest rate at 4.5 percent. Most economists in a Bloomberg survey had expected the central bank to raise the overnight cash rate target.
Stocks extended their gains after the Institute for Supply Management said its index of U.S. non-manufacturing businesses rose to 53.2 last month from 51.5 in August. Economists had forecast a reading of 52, according to the median of 76 estimates in a Bloomberg survey.
Gold climbed to a record $1,342.60 an ounce as the U.S. dollar fell to an eight-month low against a basket of world currencies. Silver increased to a 30-year high.
Barrick rose 2.3 percent to C$48.18. Goldcorp Inc., the world's second-largest gold-mining company by market value, gained 2 percent to C$44.84. Yamana Gold Inc., Canada's fourth-biggest gold company by revenue, advanced 3.5 percent to C$11.95.
Weak Dollar, Strike
Crude oil for November delivery increased 1.7 percent to a five-week high of $82.82 a barrel in New York, boosted by the weak dollar and a strike at Marseille, France's biggest oil port.
Canadian Natural climbed 2.7 percent to C$37.34. Suncor Energy Inc., Canada's largest oil and gas producer, rose 3.7 percent to C$34.86. Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp., which produces oil and gas in Colombia, gained 2.2 percent to C$28.97.
Copper advanced to a 26-month high in New York after Goldman Sachs Group Inc. forecast the metal will soar 35 percent over the next year. Zinc surged 3.7 percent in London.
Teck Resources Ltd., Canada's biggest base-metals and coal producer, increased 4.1 percent to C$44.06. Ivanhoe Mines Ltd., which is developing a copper and gold mine in Mongolia with Rio Tinto Group, climbed 4.1 percent to C$24.80. Lundin Mining Corp. rallied 9.5 percent to C$5.51.
Banks Gain
S&P/TSX financial companies rose the most in five weeks. Royal Bank of Canada, the country's largest bank, gained 1.9 percent to C$54.67 after Darko Mihelic, an analyst at Cormark Securities Inc., raised his rating on the shares to "buy" from "market perform." Toronto-Dominion Bank, Canada's No. 2 lender by assets, advanced 2.2 percent to C$75.31.
Sino-Forest Corp., the largest Canada-based forestry company by market value, jumped 4 percent to C$18.01 after Paul Quinn, a Royal Bank analyst, boosted his 12-month price estimate on the shares to C$25 from C$23. In a note to clients, Quinn said China, where Sino-Forest operates, should have a "soft landing" as it seeks to cool down its economy.

April 10 News: UN Says Health Benefits Of Switching To Clean Energy Will Be Enormous
Fighting climate change would be good for everyone's health, UN experts said yesterday. [Reuters]
Air pollution is an underestimated scourge that kills far more people than AIDS and malaria and a shift to cleaner energy could easily halve the toll by 2030, U.N. officials said on Tuesday.
Investments in solar, wind or hydropower would benefit both human health and a drive by almost 200 nations to slow climate change, blamed mainly on a build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere from use of fossil fuels, they said.
"Air pollution is causing more deaths than HIV or malaria combined," Kandeh Yumkella, director general of the U.N. Industrial Development Organization, told a conference in Oslo trying to work out new U.N. development goals for 2030….
A 2012 World Health Organization (WHO) study found that 3.5 million people die early annually from indoor air pollution and 3.3 million from outdoor air pollution. Toxic particles shorten lives by causing diseases such as pneumonia or cancer.
"The problem has been underestimated in the past," Maria Neira, the WHO's director of public health and environment, told Reuters. Smog is an acute problem from Beijing to Mexico City.
"Still, it means more than 6 million deaths every year caused by air pollution," she said. "The horrible thing is that this will be growing" because of rising use of fossil fuels. …
"If we increase access to clean energy … the health benefits will be enormous. Maybe the health argument was not used enough" in debate on encouraging a shift from fossil fuels to renewable energies, she said.

He also echoed the Administration's position on pricing carbon — that there was more of a bipartisan appetite for doing so in 2008. [The Hill]

Kansas's Self-Destruct Button: A Bill to Outlaw Sustainability
By Tom Randall
Apr 9, 2013 1:10 PM GMT
Kansas, I love your sense of humor.
It seems like every time the Sunflower State pops up in my news feed, it's for something like this: House Bill No. 2366, a proposed law that would make it illegal to use "public funds to promote or implement sustainable development."
Kansas, the place where I spent my formative years skipping school to go fishing in farm ponds, is populated with thoughtful stewards of the nation's breadbasket. It also has a habit of turning reason on its head. The state famously dropped evolution from its educational curriculum in 1999, along with the age of the Earth and the history of the universe, for good measure.
Now the state's "Committee on Energy and Environment" is proposing a law that would prohibit spending on anything that won't set Kansas on a course to self-destruction. House Bill No. 2366 would ban all state and municipal funds for anything related to "sustainable development," which it defines as: "development in which resource use aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for generations to come."

Moniz just crushed whatever hope anyone had for him, by nixing a carbon tax and touting natural gas.
It doesn't matter who's president, since anyone who makes it that far was vetted by the banks and oil companies. Obama was never going to pick anyone decent for either Interior or Energy.
Joe, Moniz is your homie. What happened to him, or was he always this bad?
As in, keep it here, keep it in the ground, and use sparingly, for high priority matters, like food costs.
That said, my home is still heated by natural gas and I'd like a way to get off it.
I'm very interested in your thoughts, Joe, regarding what Dr. Moniz said yesterday according to the articles cited above (I didn't watch the hearing). So far, it all sounds like a disaster to me.
Your thoughts?
Same here Joan, I've thought about it as well.
Seems like there's alot of hard to answer questions (if we had a clean grid it'd be easy). Lets say you converted to a heat pump (getting heat from the grid), but most of your grid electricity is coming from coal or natural gas, where would you be CO2 wise? (since you're harvesting pure heat from the furnace it may be more CO2 efficient than the grid -> heat pump route). If you have a clean grid then switching to a heat pump would seem to do the job (throw in some solar thermal and electric in there as well).
On another thought, it seems crazy we don't harness the waste heat in natural gas furnaces via thermoelectric generation of some sort as they get quite warm.
He's just parroting the administration's plan, which I'd expect him to.
He has had extensive contact with big oil (worked with BP and Saudi Arabia for years) so I'd expect him to be quite friendly with it as well – he's going to be (for Big Carbon) the friendlier, cuddlier administration DOE Secretary compared to Chu and I doubt he'll be out there tilting at climate change windmills for the country's future or he wouldn't have been nominated.
But as long as he doesn't allow/throw green energy and battery programs at DOE under the bus I'll be able to stand him…at this point I think we just need to get past Obama with as little damage to DOE green and battery programs from here on out as possible – cause you know Big Carbon wants all that ended and the lobbying $$$ are there.
Sasparilla, return of the concern troll?!
Oh yeah, "alot of hard to answer questions".
3 Ways to Unlock Climate Finance http://t.co/CEvq4BTX9F — World Resources Inst (@worldresources)
Getting house off natural gas:
a) Maximum weatherization.
b) Depending on the specifics of your house and climate, ductless heat pumps can be a pretty solid, fairly affordable way to convert to electric-powered heat. Here in Eugene we run them on a "green power" utility option, allocated from 100% wind and solar for a modest extra cost.
Voila! Low carbon.
Sorry Kevin, I'm not understanding what you're meaning there. Are you calling me a troll?
moniz is wrong, wrong, wrong…
up to 9% of the gas output from fracking escapes into the atmosphere at the wellhead…more escapes from leaking pipes in old cities like new york, boston, & DC…
methane is about 21 times as potent a greenhouse gas as CO2 in the long term, but 72 times as potent over a 20 year horizon…
according to the World Meteorological Organization's annual report on 2011 greenhouse gases, atmospheric methane hit a new high of about 1813 parts per billion (ppb) in 2011, which was 259% of the pre-industrial level; since CO2 levels were at 390.9 parts per million (ppm) in 2011, that means methane's net warming effect is already one-third that of CO2 over 20 years
Cyclist death: woman killed in Victoria lorry crash was world respected climate change scientist
Very Sad, Tragic
Both the structural (indirect) violence and the direct violence of global transportation cement the monopoly of transportation dependent on fossil fuels.
There is definitely something wrong with a manmade system that kills and gravely injures people unless that is its intent.
Making the streets safe in the world's major cities would cause a profound reduction in emissions.
Gee, Mr. Wizard, I've never heard of this before!
Thunderstorms contain 'dark lightning,' invisible pulses of powerful radiation
from your link:
"It is the second tragedy to hit the Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling after its director Professor Seymour Laxon died aged 49 after falling down a flight of stairs in the early hours of New Year's Day, hitting his head and suffering a massive brain haemorrhage. Dr Giles had been earmarked as his successor."
A conspiracy theorist might see these two accidents in the same climate science department as connected and not being quite so accidental.
Climate science is VERY controversial in some quarters.
Because accidents do happen, I'd want to know much more about the lorry driver before getting my tinfoil hat on.
I'll take a look at ductless heat pumps.
But I'm not counting on a modest cost, as re-insulation didn't lower the BTU consumption quite enough to switch from therms to KWh at equivalent, much less lower, cost. The KWh are from wind & small hydro so I can at least check that step off the list.
The other crazy thing is that we get storms from time to time that shut off grid electricity, while the gas keeps flowing, and that's a life-saver and a pipe-saver.
Well, while I appreciate the name calling (above) and the sarcasm – I'd like an apology from you for both.
I really did have a hard to answer question (for me) that I couldn't resolve, in my post, maybe you can say what the answer is with your background (really).
Lets assume you'd done maximum weatherization but don't have the choice of green grid power – would it be better, from a CO2 standpoint, to leave the natural gas furnace in place for heating (assuming its a somewhat efficient one) or buy & install a new heat pump which is using Coal or Natural Gas grid power (which much of the country is stuck with), since efficiency takes a huge whack turning coal or natural gas to electricity?
Very true catman.
Hi Joan, not sure why, but my reply to Kevin on #10, above, got stuck at #12 (like a mainline entry) so it looks like I'm replying to you there, which I wasn't – sorry for any confusion.
So if you loose grid power can you run your natural gas furnace and keep the house warm?
The defense of the energy companies in that "On May 1, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals will hear a case brought by Mississippi coastal landowners suing energy and chemical companies…" story is revealing.
"In their petition for a review by the full 5th Circuit, the companies argued that global warming was not attributable only to them but resulted from the emissions of greenhouse gases from millions of sources dating back to the Industrial Revolution."
Shouldn't this admission be made known to all the deniers?
I've done the math recently based on .905 lbs. of CO2 / kWh (conventional electricity here in Massachusetts) and an air source heat pump (spec'd at HSPF of 12.5 and the air source heat pump comes out ahead. 97 lbs. CO2 vs 117 lbs. CO2 (assuming 100% efficient natural gas boiler.)
The natural gas boiler – will be less expensive. $13.70 per MMBTU vs $16.88 per MMBTU at $0.157 / kWh.
Sasparilla – The answer to your question is highly location dependent – but here in colder New England – the best course of action if you are installing an air source heat pump is to leave the existing heating system in place – to handle heating needs on the 10 to 15 days a year that the average temperature falls below 10 degrees F.
If your goal is max CO2 reduction per $, then switching from natural gas to an air source heat pump for the CO2 benefits – probably isn't your best option for spending that money – unless you have renewable electricity available.
Middle school? Is that about 8-11 years? Get 'em young I say. Our littlies are now doing projects on climate change, saving water etc in pre-school, ME
MarkfromLexington thanks for both replies (saving them both for future use), that's actually really good news about the heat pump on the CO2 end.
Sasp, getting past Obama means three more years of prevarication, to be polite, and the prospect of deliberately engineered losses in 2014 and 2016 delivering power to some Thuggee lunatics. Strange days indeed.
Was Professor Laxon's 'fall' witnessed? Any more 'accidents' and one will feel the hairs prickling and the thumbs twitching.

This article focuses on constructing a lightweight Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) application by leveraging the Java Data Objects (JDO) persistence approach. The Google App Engine SDK and corresponding runtime implementation provide an excellent JDO implementation that you will use to help in designing a sample application.
Before you start
- Save the
AcmeMembersAppWeb.jarfile to a location of your choice on your file system.
- To develop this application quickly, we used IBM®
Rational® Software Architect for WebSphere®, Version 8.0.
Alternatively, you can also complete the steps in this article by
using these options:
- The Rational Application Developer 8.0 toolset.
- Any Eclipse development environment based on the Helios release (v3.6) with the appropriate Java and web development features included and a compatible JDK 1.6. You can download the free Helios release of the Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers package from the Eclipse website.
If you are using the Rational Software Architect v8.0 or the IBM® Rational® Application Developer v8.0 environment, or another option, you will need to install a few additional items before you get started. Begin by installing the Google App Engine SDK, Version 1.3.8, and the Google Plug-in for Eclipse 3.6, Version 1.4, by following these steps:
- Start your Rational Software Architect software, using a workspace location of your choice. Start > IBM Software Delivery Platform > IBM Software Architect for WebSphere Software 8.0.
- When prompted to enter a workspace location, you can select the default location provided or enter another convenient location.
- If the Welcome window appears, close it.
- Follow the steps to install the Google App Engine SDK and Google
Plug-in using the instructions found here: http://code.google.com/eclipse/docs/install-eclipse-3.6.html.
You do not need to install the Google Web Toolkit package.
After you install the Google App Engine SDK and Google Plug-in and restart the Rational Software Architect IDE, you will notice that the buttons, shown in Figure 1, are now on your toolbar. Circled in Figure 1 is the New Web Application Project button, which you will use later.
Figure 1. The Google Plug-in for Eclipse toolbar icons
In addition to following those instructions, we run our application using the Mozilla Firefox web browser, Version 3.6. When we run our completed application, the browser prompts us to install the Google Web Toolkit Developer Plug-in for Firefox. At the time of writing, the version installed for this add-on was 1.0.7511.

For many who want to design and construct applications focused on business logic, maintainability, and portability, Java Data Objects (or just JDO for short) are quickly gaining popularity, along with several other options that leverage a growing NoSQL movement.
Although the Java Persistence Architecture (JPA) also strives to accomplish many of these objectives, for some software architects and developers, the need to map Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs) to relational tables is intrusive to the application. The reason is that this mapping exposes and couples the application too closely to the persistent data store's schema. Moreover, the need to map POJOs to tables leads to what some describe as the "persistent impedance mismatch" problem, where the mapping itself influences the application's overall implementation to a higher degree than is desirable.
JDO does not require the application to provide any explicit mappings. Instead, it requires the developer only to denote the attributes to be persisted and to identify the attribute to represent the object's unique identifier (or primary key).
The Acme membership system sample application
Figure 2. The Acme Membership domain model
To receive Acme Company's services and benefits, their clients must become members. They can choose from Single, Student, or Family memberships. Family memberships provide Acme's services to couples and any children that they have who are under the age of 18. To remain members in "good standing," clients must renew their memberships annually.
All correspondence between Acme Co. and its members occurs solely through the primary member. Acme collects the address and other contact information for the primary member for all memberships for this purpose.
The Acme domain model in Figure 2 illustrates the structure and relationships between of our entities. No part of this model gave any consideration either to an existing or to a to-be developed underlying persistent store.
Creating the Acme membership application project
To create an Acme membership application project, follow the steps outlined below.
- Start Rational Software Architect v8.0 using a workspace location of your choice. Start > IBM Software Delivery Platform > IBM Software Architect for WebSphere Software 8.0.
- From the menu bar, select File > New > Web Application Project or, alternatively, click the toolbar button labeled New Web Application Project.
- In the Create a Web Application Project wizard, enter these values:
- AcmeMembersAppWeb for Project name.
- org.acme.membership.web for Package.
- Then unselect the check box for "Use Google Web Toolkit."
- Finally, click Finish.
See Figure 3 for additional guidance on how to complete this dialog window.
Figure 3. The New Web Application Project wizard
You will now import the initial part of the Acme membership application into your newly created project.
First, we will focus on the steps required to enhance a standard Java class (POJO) to become capable of JDO persistence.
- Import the initial web project that you will build upon.
- From the menu bar, select File > Import > General > Archive File and then click Next.
- Click the Browse button and navigate to the location where you saved the file AcmeMembersAppWeb.jar and select it for import.
- Ensure the "Into folder" field is set to AcmeMembersAppWeb by clicking the Browse button, and then navigating to and selecting the project that you previously created.
- Check the box labeled Overwrite existing resources without warning.
- Click Finish. There is no need to proceed to the other pages in the Import wizard.
See Figure 4 for additional guidance on how to complete this wizard.
Figure 4. Importing the beginnings of the Acme membership application
After you have successfully imported the files, you will have a project layout, as Figure 5 shows. There will be three packages in your web project:
- org.acme.membership.domain, which holds the JDO enhanced business domain classes
- org.acme.membership.jdo, which holds a singleton JDO persistent manager factory used to retrieve JDO persistent managers
- org.acme.membership.web, which holds the servlet and other artifacts related to the web interface
Note: You will see one warning in the Problems view that you can safely ignore.
Figure 5. The project layout for the AcmeMembersAppWeb project
Enhancing a class with JDO persistence capabilities
The current version of the Google tooling for Eclipse does not offer much in the way of wizards to automatically transform a standard Java class into a JDO compliant class. Fortunately, there are only a few steps required to do this, and most of them involve using short annotations.
- Open AcmeMembership.java which can be found under AcmeMemberAppWeb > src > org.acme.membership.domain.
- Add the classes shown in Figure 6 to your import list.
Figure 6. Classes to add to the import list for a JDO-enhanced class
Once you have created your Google Web Project (AcmeMembersAppWeb), the addition of appropriate libraries and updates to the project classpath will happen automatically. The Rational Software Architect solution's Eclipse build environment will find the classes added to the import list (as shown in Figure 6).
- At the top of the class definition, add the annotation @PersistenceCapable as shown in Figure 7. This annotation instructs Google App Engine's persistence services to manage instances of this class.
Figure 7. Declaring a class to be persistence capable
- Our class will need to define an identifier to distinguish one
instance of our AcmeMembership class from another. The Google
JDO implementation has a particular Key class/type that we will use.
We will include this Key as an attribute of AcmeMembership, mark it as
a Primary Key, and specify the strategy the Google App Engine runtime
will use to populate it automatically with unique values.
- Add an attribute called id of type Key (see the import list for the fully qualified class name).
- On top of the declaration of id, add the annotation @PrimaryKey.
- Under the @PrimaryKey annotation, add another annotation as follows: @Persistent(valueStrategy = IdGenerator.IDENTITY)
- Add a getter and setter for the id attribute. For this step you can use the Quick Fix feature or you can highlight the id attribute, right click, and select Source->Generate Getters and Setters
Figure 8. Denoting an attribute as the primary key and its value population strategy
- Declare our intention to persist the remaining attributes of interest
using the annotation
@Persistent. The only attribute that we are not interested in persisting is INITIAL_FAMILY_SIZE.
- Add the annotation
@Persistenton top of the declaration for these items: acmeMembers, type, creationDate, and lastRenewed.
- Add the annotation
With nothing more than the @Persistent annotation, we were able to make a complex and diverse number of attribute types persistent, including a List (acmeMember), an enum (type), and a Date (creationDate).
The PersistenceManagerFactory and PersistentManager
To help the application generate a PersistenceManager, a JDO Application requires a class containing a singleton attribute of type PersistenceManagerFactory. A PersistentManager is required to obtain a Transaction. A JDO Transaction instance is the vehicle for carrying out a unit of work, according to the conventional definition of a transaction, against a persistence storage system (or database).
MembersAppDomainPMF (found under AcmeMemberAppWeb > src > org.acme.membership.jdo) is the class where we have placed our singleton PersistenceManagerFactory attribute.
Figure 9, which follows, shows a snippet of source code, CreateMembership.java (found under the package org.acme.membership.web) that demonstrates two things:
- How to obtain and use a transaction from a PersistenceManager.
- How to persist a (complex) object by invoking the makePersistent() method.
Figure 9. Source code for obtaining and running a JDO transaction
Run the application
Now you can run your sample Acme Membership application, which will add a single membership to the Acme membership system.
We ran our application using a locally hosted Google App Engine Web Application Server. You can also deploy, host, and run this application in the Google cloud.
- In the Package Explorer view, right-click the web application project, AcmeMembersAppWeb, and select Run As > Web Application.
Figure 10. Starting the Google App Engine test environment
- After the Google App Engine has successfully started, the console view will show an informational message indicating that the server is running (see Figure 11).
Figure 11. Console message indicating the Google App Engine test server is ready
- Launch a browser, and enter the following URL for the destination address:
- Click the link for AcmeMembersAppWeb, and it should return the output of a membership that we added to our system.
For this article, we used Rational Software Architect for WebSphere v8.0 to help rapidly design and enhance Java classes to make them "JDO-capable" and executable, using the Google App Engine as our JDO runtime implementation
Neither the relationships between our classes, nor the application logic took into consideration the characteristics or structure of an underlying persistence storage. We did not map any attributes to any relational or nonrelational database tables. Even so, by building an application with a design focused on business logic, not a pre-existing data store, we showed that how Rational Software Architect can help your team craft JDO-capable applications.
The author thanks Mike Reid for his thoughtful and thorough review of this article.

This paper presents a computational paradigm called Data-Driven Markov Chain Monte Carlo (DDMCMC) for image segmentation in the Bayesian statistical framework. The paper contributes to image segmentation in four aspects. First, it designs efficient and well-balanced Markov Chain dynamics to explore the complex solution space and, thus, achieves a nearly global optimal solution independent of initial segmentations. Second, it presents a mathematical principle and a K-adventurers algorithm for computing multiple distinct solutions from the Markov chain sequence and, thus, it incorporates intrinsic ambiguities in image segmentation. Third, it utilizes data-driven (bottom-up) techniques, such as clustering and edge detection, to compute importance proposal probabilities, which drive the Markov chain dynamics and achieve tremendous speedup in comparison to the traditional jump-diffusion methods. Fourth, the DDMCMC paradigm provides a unifying framework in which the role of many existing segmentation algorithms, such as, edge detection, clustering, region growing, split-merge, snake/balloon, and region competition, are revealed as either realizing Markov chain dynamics or computing importance proposal probabilities. Thus, the DDMCMC paradigm combines and generalizes these segmentation methods in a principled way. The DDMCMC paradigm adopts seven parametric and nonparametric image models for intensity and color at various regions. We test the DDMCMC paradigm extensively on both color and gray-level images and some results are reported in this paper

Hey, I'm Jeremias!
Mias for short. An experience junkie, willing to try pretty much anything once! Believes that Travel is the best investment one can make and that the only way to truly do this is by living and seeing things as the locals do.
Huge sports fan. Loves music, the beach and the outdoors in general. Laughter, good food and drink are always welcome!
I would rather spend on sights and adventures than on a place to sleep. Not really looking for a fancy place to stay, the basics are important but would rather have a nice cheery host willing to spend time and share what he or she knows about the country or city I'm visiting - what and how to see, eat, and do things the way their area does.
Have been all over Europe when i was much younger and have been all over South East Asia so what's next on the travel agenda are the Americas - hello US and LatAm in 2012!

New York, May 1 (EFE).- Forensic experts have not found any human remains in the area where last week authorities discovered part of a wingflap assembly that could belong to one of the jets used in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The New York medical examiner's office said Wednesday that the search operation behind a building several blocks from Ground Zero had been concluded and announced that experts had not recovered any "potential human remains" at the site.
A spokeswoman for the ME's office had reported on Tuesday that two possible samples of human remains had been found during the search operation, but on Wednesday she told Efe that both samples were picked up in a different area.
Meanwhile, police forensic investigation personnel on Wednesday recovered the metallic plane parts found last week.
New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly confirmed earlier this week that the parts found in the very narrow space between two buildings were not portions of a plane's landing gear, as had originally been reported, but rather part of a wingflap or aileron assembly after an initial investigation performed by a Boeing technician.
The metal parts - on which a Boeing identification number was clearly visible - were found by workers behind a building housing an Islamic community center that some three years ago was the focus of a bitter controversy in New York due to plans to build a mosque at the site.
Police cordoned off the area on Friday after receiving a call from the owners of the building, located at 51 Park Place.

Beat of a Different Drum
- Ringo Starr of The Beatles provided a steady back beat and creative flourishes that helped make this band the legend it is today. Pete Best, the original drummer for the Beatles, was with the band for 2 years. Ringo is also one of the few drummers to get to not only write songs, but sing the lead vocal as well!
- Keith Moon of The Who was nearly maimed in an explosion during "My Generation" while they played on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.
- Phil Collins of Genesis has played just about every instrument out there, so some might contest his inclusion on his list, but drumming is where this musician got his start.
- Neil Peart of Rush may not be the most glamorous drummer on this list, but his name registers on every "Best Drummer" list I could find!
- When John Bonham, the drummer of Led Zeppelin, died the band disbanded. If that's not a testament to the power of a drummer, I don't know what is.
- John Densmore, was the rhymthic engire for the The Doors, a feat not easily accomplished!
- Dave Grohl, perhaps most famous as being the drummer for Nirvana, was also the drummer for the first Foo Fighters album.
- Gene Krupa was a legendary jazz drummer known for his flamboyant style and endless energy!
- Rick Allen of Def Leppard achieved recognition, not only for being the only Def Leppard drummer to live more than a few years after accepting the gig, but also because he suffered the full amputation of his left arm and continued to rock harder than ever!
Outside of Krupa, I would be hard pressed to include any one the drummers on the list in the top drummers of all time. There are scores of jazz drummers that are much better than Rick Allen, John Densmore, Bonham, Moon etc. - Philly Joe Jones, Elvin Jones, Max Roach, Paul Motian, Omar Hakim, Dennis Chambers are but a few. And then there is the great, great Buddy Rich...
As far as rock/r&b/blues drummers, there are also many drummers who I would put above the names on this list. Levon Helm (The Band) is not only a better singer than Ringo, he is a much better drummer. Neil Pert is great, but check out Vinny Colaiuta. Bernard Purdy and Kenny Aronoff are two of the best but you never hear their names. Ginger Baker, Stewart Copeland get props for creativity beyond simple rock beats and Bill Bruford for his imagination and incredible abilities with odd time meters.
Two unsung drummers are Uriel Jones and Benny Benjamin who played on just about every Motown record made. Fantastic drummers.
Fun list. Thanks.
I'd also include Topper Headon (The Clash) and Mitch Mitchell (The Jimi Hendrix Experience) on the list for rock drummers, and Jimmy Cobb (Miles Davis, many others) for jazz.
