Jin, X, Hanesiak, J, Barber, D (2007). Detecting cloud vertical structures from radiosondes and MODIS over Arctic first-year sea ice. ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH, 83(1), 64-76.
AbstractThe cloud vertical structure (CVS) of Arctic clouds is analyzed with data mainly from radiosondes launched between November 2003 and June 2004 during the Canadian Arctic Shelf Exchange Study (CASES). The feasibility of using a radiosonde-based cloud detection method [Minnis, P., Yi, Y. Huang, J., and Ayers, K. 2005: Relationships between radiosonde and RUC-2 meteorological conditions and cloud occurrence determined from ARM data, J. Geophys. Res., 110, D23204, doi: 10. 1029/2005JD006005. MN05 hereafter] is evaluated. At temperatures between - 35 and 5 degrees C, the minimum probability (Pr) calculated from MN05 to detect a cloud layer is 68%. The infeasibility of MN05 in determining Arctic cirrus clouds is speculated to be due to the different freezing, mechanisms at low temperatures (< -40 degrees C) in polluted continental and clean Arctic environments. Based on these facts we present a modified scheme to determine CVS in this paper. 1) for low clouds, 51.6% of all samples are with cloud base height (CBH)< 500 m; 66.5% with cloud top height (CTH) < 1500 m and 80.6% with CTH < 2500 m; 54.7% with cloud vertical thickness (CVT)< 500 m and 73.6% with CVT < 1000 m; 2) for middle clouds, the CBH is almost evenly distributed between 1.8 and 4 km but 68% of all CTHs are at heights between 2000 and 5000 in. 17% of CTHs are above 8000 in and 47% CVTs are thinner than 1000 in and 67% thinner than 2000 in; 3) for high clouds, the frequency distributions of both CBH and CTH decrease with increasing height from 5000 to 8000 in but there are 41% CBHs between 9000 and 11,500 m. The MODIS-derived cloud top pressure (CTP) is compared with data from radiosondes. In general the MODIS CTP agrees well with that from radiosondes between the 400 and 700 hPa layer. MODIS underestimates CTP at heights between 700 and 950 hPa and overestimates CTP at lower layers (> 950 hPa). The underestimate and overestimate of atmospheric temperatures above and under the 950 hPa isobaric layer respectively is thought to be the cause of the differences. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Program Hopes To Help Disabled Veterans Through Free Vacations
Veterans who served in conflicts over the last ten years have seen a different kind of war than those who fought in World War II and Vietnam. What began as a way for the community of Custer, S.D., to say thank you to veterans has turned into saving families and relationships. Operation Black Hills Cabin is a free week-long vacation for wounded warriors.

The iconic voice behind movie trailers has found its successor through a teen who possesses a similarly deep tone.
In front of a retro-style microphone, North Carolina native Jake Foushee wowed the Web when he mimicked the perfect pitch of renowned voice talent Don LaFontaine.
"In a world where the earth was no longer in our control, with our survival at stake, we have one chance. And that chance is to fight back. Get ready for the most thrill-ride motion picture event of the year, "Apocalypse." In theaters everywhere. Friday," the 14-year-old narrated, sounding like the deep, echoing voice of LaFontaine, whom he dubbed the "movie trailer guy."
Though Foushee uploaded the video with hopes that he would land a voice acting career in the future, he was still overwhelmed by the viewers' reaction. His video has been watched more than 700,000 times and has received mostly positive comments.
"Almost 150K views on a video in one night...holy," Foushee tweeted after his video views suddenly soared high.

Thursday Dose of social media: Is NPR the future of mainstream media?
Twitter addicts bringing down New York Times computers — The NYT is having some problems with TweetDeck slowing down it's less-than-robust computers. TweetDeck is an Adobe Air app, and like all Adobe Air apps, it can be resource intensive. But here are some tips:
- Latest version — Make sure you have the latest version (version 0.25) of TweetDeck. The old version of TweetDeck had a nasty memory leak problem. It would literally use more and more memory up as time went on, until it ate up all your ram. We reported two months ago that TweetDeck had a memory leak problem and that the new version promised to fix it. The new TweetDeck handles memory much better. This could be the root problem for many in the NYT newsroom.
- Ram — 2 gigs of ram, combined with the latest (free) version of TweetDeck should allow almost anyone to run this program fine. I'm on a 7-year-old PowerMac right now, powering two monitors. One has Safari open while I write this post, and the other has TweetDeck open. No performance issues here.
- Shut down apps — It's a good idea to close and restart many apps at least once a day. FireFox is a prime example of this, as it has memory leak problems too. It's a good idea to close down all apps at the end of the day and the start then up fresh the next day. Certain apps may require more frequency than that.
The City Of San Francisco now lets you submit complaints via Twitter — Social media is really all about being social and connecting people. The City of San Francisco has found a good way to utilize Twitter to improve the city:
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and Twitter co-founder Biz Stone announced today that San Francisco residents can now send direct messages via Twitter to the city of San Francisco, @SF311, to complain about street cleanings, graffiti, potholes, abandoned vehicles, garbage issues, noise complaints and more. 311 is the primary contact for city services; residents can call 311 to reach a call center to get answers to questions about city services or submit complaints.
Twitter users and San Francisco residents can simply follow @SF311 (which automatically auto follows) to send and receive direct messages about complaints and questions. The useful part of the new service is the ability to send pictures or video of various offenses, such as a pothole, overflowing garbage can or graffiti. Once you submit a DM to @SF311, you will receive a service request number. Apparently, there is a city staff member devoted to handling and responding to @SF311 Tweets.
Many journalists are on Twitter, but news organizations could use accounts to take complaints, suggestions and tips from the public. This is the kind of thing that the main @NYTimes account could be doing, instead of just pushing headlines. Or, the Times could create a another account for this kind of interaction.
Why NPR is the future of mainstream media –Mashable makes a compelling argument why NPR's approach could be the future of mainstream media. They point out that while newspapers are losing circulation and while cable news viewers are leaving, NPR's ratings have been steadily growing since 2000.
They point to three areas where NPR shows how it's done:
- Focus on local — NPR, because of its member station structure, has always been focused on local news gathering.
- Focus on social media — NPR has been quick to move into the social media space and is way ahead of MSM outlets like The New York Times. They saw early on that social media could enhance their coverage and product. "They've also put social media to work for them. In October of 2008, for example, NPR asked listeners to factcheck the US Vice Presidential debates and communicate findings via a Twitter hashtag. And in February, NPR's social media strategist (@acarvin) talked about Twitter on air, including hundreds people tweeting back comments in the conversation. Their conclusion? Twitter let's us all share the media consumption experience together, and that's a very positive thing."
- Focus on ubiquitous access — Rather than erecting pay walls, NPR has a commitment to reaching as large of an audience as possible.
Twitter-jacking on trial: Cardinals' manager sues Twitter — Tony La Russa is suing Twitter because someone impersonated him on it. This is fairly common, and Twitter so far has allowed these accounts to stay up as long as they are clearly satire. La Russa's lawsuit may put an end to the fun and games:
Alas, the days of Twitter's innocence in hijacked celebrity accounts may have come to an end. Tony La Russa, the manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, is up in arms over the fact that someone other than him tweeted under his likeness and that Twitter permitted it. In fact, he's so pissed that he's taking Twitter to court.
So what's the fuss all about? Apparently the individual tweeting as Tony La Russa (@tonylarussa was removed after the lawsuit was filed) made statements that the real Tony didn't appreciate. So he's suing Twitter and the causes of action include trademark infringement, trademark dilution, cybersquatting, misappropriation of name and likeness, invasion of privacy, and intentional misrepresentation.
Digg's new ads put advertisers on the front page — Digg, which is known for allowing users to vote stories up and down, is now allowing users to vote ads up and down. This is something to watch, because Digg could help change how ads are done and priced on the Web.
Daily Dose of social media: Get your questions answered on Twitter
5 Ways to Get Your Questions Answered on Twitter — You can just ask a question on Twitter and hope it gets answered, or you could try one of the structured services suggested here. IKnowTweet.Com, for instance, searches Twitter for phrases like "does anyone know?" and "why does?" and collects them all.
The site allows people to post questions and lets others answer them. It also offers a strong search engine. Not a bad place to start when you want a question answered on Twitter. This could be a strong tool for journalists.
Twtpoll is another interesting option. It's a simple service to conduct polls on Twitter. Obviously these are the most scientific poll, but they could make nice little content for a blogger.
The other three services mentioned in this post are worth checking out too. Twitter is quickly becoming a strong research tool for content producers.
Is Tweetie For Mac Right For You? — I'm a fan of TweetDeck, but I realize it's not for everyone. What I like about it — its multi-column UI — may turn off other people. TweetDeck can either be considered very helpful or very confusing. If you don't want something cluttered (and TweetDeck has a cluttered feel), Tweetie is a better option.
Tweetie is clean, streamlined and easy to work with. If that's your thing, I'd suggest checking it out:
Let's face it, multiple columns is right for a percentage of Twitter users, but for the rest of us, having multiple accounts integrated into a bug-free single column view with a sleek design is ideal. Tweetie for Mac does not disappoint on that front.
The other stellar features of Tweetie are:
- Threaded direct messaging — If you send a lot of direct messages, this is an extremely helpful feature. Twitter's Web UI (and TweetDeck) make it difficult to have back and forth conversations on Twitter, but Tweetie changes all that.
- Conversations — "A simple double-click in the body of any Twitter message will display the entire life of that tweet's conversation history. It's pretty convenient for those moments when you need to keep up with real-time conversations on Twitter."
- Image options — Tweetie supports a bunch of imaging services.
Daily Dose of social media: Record screencasts from your browser with Screencastle
Screencastle puts software-free screen recording in your browser — Screencasts can be a great teaching tool, and many newsrooms have begun creating internal screencasts to help teach employees about Web and new media technologies.
The one problem with screencasts is that there is a barrier to entry for producing them. The software costs money (usually at least $79), and screencasts aren't that intuitive to create. They require editing and knowledge of video codecs.
Screencastle is Web-based, free and easier to get started with. For journalists and news orgs that want to get their feet wet with some simple screencasts, Screencastle is a good option. There is no editing or fussing with video codecs; it's pretty bare bones.
Since it is free with no software to install, there is very little risk with Screencastle. If you like the results, great, you can keep on making screencasts or even upgrade to a more expensive software-based system. Or, if things don't go well, you won't have lost much by going with Screencastle.
Facebook: From 100 to 200 Million Users in 8 Months — If you're not on Facebook, what would you say you're doing? I would at least see what all the fuss is about. Facebook has been a good tool for beatbloggers, especially education beatbloggers. Don't let a good tool pass you by.
It's a safe bet that Facebook's growth will continue. We should see at least 300 million users this year, if not 400 million:
Facebook hit its 100 million user milestone back in August 2008. Can you believe it went from 100 million to 200 million in less than 8 months? When you have hundreds of thousands of users, 100 percent growth in such a short period is impressive. But when you have a hundred million users, it's nothing short of amazing.
TweetDeck Plugs Memory Leak; Launches Facebook Integration for All — This is a big update and makes TweetDeck even better. First, for those of you who don't know what a memory leak, it's when software consumers ever more memory over time due to a flaw in its programming. This causes your computer to get gradually slower, until it is often almost unusable.
The memory leak has been fixed (or so they tell us), and that's big news. If you weren't running a new machine with a lot of ram, TweetDeck could really slow things down. I can report that I have yet to see memory issues with TweetDeck. This means that TweetDeck is safe to keep open for long periods of time. This makes the software a lot more usable, as TweetDeck is a great listening device.
The Facebook integration is also very welcome. Now you can send updates to both Twitter and Facebook at the same time. You can also monitor your Facebook friends' status updates. If you're a journalist that uses both social networks for work, TweetDeck is certainly worth a long look.
Daily Dose of social media: SEO FTW!

99 Essential Twitter Tools And Applications — Okay, so not every one of these "essential" tools and applications is really relevant to journalists and content producers, but there are some real gems here:
- Tweetlater is a nice little app to schedule tweets in the future. This is great for group Twitter accounts where multiple employees are responsible for providing content. It's also a nice way to ensure you spread out your tweets. It also allows you to keep your account active while you are away.
- Tweetbeep allows you to keep track of when people mention you, your company or other keywords that you want to track. This is great for journalists who want to be alerted every time certain words are mentioned on Twitter. This is also great for news orgs that want to track what people are saying about them. Yes, Tweetdeck can do the same things, albeit, without the alerts.
- StrawPoll asks different questions for polls each day, which is an interesting way to see what people think on Twitter. For journalists, however, it's much more helpful to be able to create their own polls. That's where StrawPoll really shines.
Hands-on with IE 8: A giant step for Microsoft — Internet Explorer has finally become a decent browser. I know most people still use it, but IE7 and IE6 are categorically inferior browsers to Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc, etc, etc.
For journalists, the most welcome new feature in IE8 sandboxing. This feature means that individual tabs crash, not the browser itself. This is an extremely useful feature for those of us who have a lot of tabs open at once.
Chrome also features sandboxing, and I expect most browsers will get this feature in the coming years. Essentially, sandboxing makes Web browsers much more similar to modern operating systems, in that they will crash a lot less. Yes, individual applications/tabs will still crash, but that's a lot better than having your whole computer/Web browser crash.
Sandboxing will make IE users more productive because less time and knowledge will be lost to crashes. IE8 still has some major issues:

This is the first new textbook in many years in the field of pediatrics. The seventy-five contributors emphasize the application of modern pediatric knowledge. The editors state in the preface that medical science has outrun the art, and the book is an endeavor to further the practical side. It succeeds admirably in its aim.
The nineteen sections of the book are arranged in logical sequence. The first section, "General Considerations," is divided into chapters on physical and mental growth and development and a chapter on pediatric pathology, the first to be found in a pediatric text, is a good addition. This chapter should be read carefully and would benefit many pathologists who fail to give proper consideration to the typical variations seen in the young patient.
"Nutrition," a section in six chapters, begins with a chapter on the physiology of digestion. This is followed by chapters on nutritional requirements, breast

'We are not alone' – speech to Haringey Council 17/01/11 (with video)
The following is the text of the speech given by the leader of the deputation of Haringey Alliance for Public Services, Jenny Sutton, to the full council meeting on 17th January 2011.
Click here to watch the full video of Jenny's speech and the following debate (begins at 09.25).
My name is Jenny Sutton. I'm the Branch Secretary of the University and College Union at the College of Haringey, Enfield and North East London and am speaking on behalf of the Haringey Alliance for Public Services, a broad coalition of residents and workers who have come together to fight against cuts to jobs and services. We are asking you to refuse to vote for cuts and to stand together with the people you represent.
In 5 minutes I can only make general points, but I have with me representatives of different interest groups in Haringey to whom I hope you will address specific questions:
- Maureen Carey – Haringey Forum for Older People
- Sue Hessel – Haringey Federation of Residents Associations, vulnerable groups representative
- Dave Morris – Haringey Friends of Parks Forum
- Selvi Ozdemir – North London Community House
- Janet Shapiro – Better Local Healthcare Campaign
The cuts – National
The Con-Dem government is making the most savage cuts in public spending since the 1930s.
More than a million jobs will be lost
Thousands will be forced from their homes through housing benefit cuts
People with disabilities will have their mobility, independence and dignity drastically impaired
Despite 20% youth employment, and one of the the lowest percentages of teenagers in education in Europe, cuts in post-16 Education mean that thousands of young people will be denied access to university and college through the tripling of tuition fees and the abolition of the EMA
The cuts – Local
In Haringey, the proposals on which we are being consulted equate to only £12 million of the £46m cuts required for 2011-12 and the staggering £87m of cuts demanded in the next 3 years. If these cuts go ahead they will be the worst in our borough's history.
We face cuts in Housing, Health, Care and Social Services, old peoples' homes, day centres, play schemes, youth and education services, teenage pregnancy support services, support for children with disabilities and second language speakers, libraries, community centres, green spaces, leisure facilities, voluntary projects and public service jobs – 1,000 jobs are under threat in a borough where, in Tottenham, we have the highest unemployment in London and life expectancy 17 years below Westminster.
These cuts are not necessary!
They are ideologically driven by a right-wing government committed to dismantling the welfare state and privatising public services. We are being told that there is no alternative, that the debt must be paid. This is a lie:
UK government debt is now 70% of GDP. Between 1920 and 1960 it was never less than 100%, and was more than 250% in 1945 when the welfare state was established, including the NHS, public housing and state education
As for the argument about Labour profligacy, before the recession public sector spending was less than in 8 of Thatcher's 11 years in office. The highest public sector spending under Labour was 40% of GDP, compared to Thatcher's high of 42% in the recession of 1981-83.
The deficit is not due to excessive spending and could be solved in an instant by collecting the £120 billion tax avoidance shortfall from the rich, scrapping trident and ending the war in Afghanistan – the money is there!
These cuts will damage the economy
Ireland and Greece, who have taken extreme measures to cut deficits, have consequently suffered far worse than countries which have held steady, or even increased, public spending. The GDPs of Greece and Ireland are now 7.2% and 12.8% below pre-crisis levels.
Fundamentally, these cuts are not fair
The poorest councils face the biggest cuts – some of the leafy Tory shires barely have to make any. The cuts target disabled people, single parents, the young, those on benefits and pensioners. Women will bear 75% of the burden, and the poorest will be hit 10 times harder than the richest.
Are we 'all in it together' when:
- Top directors' pay has gone up by 55% this year
- The bankers, who were bailed out with £1.4 trillion of public money, will get £7 billion in bonuses this year – while £7 billion has been cut from the social security budget
- £18 billion has been cut from welfare, but £24 billion has been given to private business through cuts in corporation tax
- The richest 1000 people saw their wealth increase by £77 billion last year – half of the deficit! The top 10% are now 273 times wealthier than the poorest 10% and London is the most unequal city in the developed world
So what are your responsibilities as councillors?
These cuts are not about trimming fat – Labour cuts in 2007 meant that there is no fat left, we are talking about cutting the flesh of our public services. These cuts cannot be absorbed without inflicting irreversible damage to peoples' lives.
The Government are demanding a sacrifice to the great god of the market. You say it's better to chop off hands for the altar, because otherwise they'll come in and chop off arms. But be under no illusions – if you show yourselves willing to chop off hands, they'll come back demanding arms and legs, because they want to see the end of state public services.
You may think this life and death metaphor is over-the-top – but when an elderly person dies of hypothermia in their unheated home because the day centre they went to for warmth and a hot meal has been closed down, whose fault will that be? And when another Haringey child dies because social services do not have the resources for early intervention, who will be blamed?
We've got no doubt that you're all committed to public service, otherwise you wouldn't be here on a cold January night – but don't allow a misplaced sense of civic duty to justify managing the unmanageable – and the unconscionable. You may think you are acting as a dented shield, mitigating the worst, but actually you are acting as a human shield for Tory policies which have no public mandate.
The Tories came to power on less than 20% of the eligible vote, propped up by the Lib-Dems who have jettisoned their principles for power. Councillors are elected to represent the interests of the people of this borough and you have no mandate to implement the destructive policies of a minority government. Together, we have got to stop the wheels turning, because peoples' lives, hopes and dreams will be crushed.
We are asking you to vote against cuts and to stand together with the people you represent.
If you cannot do so, step aside, stand down, and let those who are willing to fight take your place. We are not alone: public sector unions, students and communities across the UK are uniting to resist this assault. Together, we have to reject a future where only those who can afford private healthcare, education or pensions will live with dignity.

In the busy mobile monetization space, advertising platform developer Supersonic (based in Tel Aviv and San Francisco) has closed a $15 million in its second round of institutional funding.
Supersonic's chief product is a cloud-based software development kit that enables mobile application developers to include robust streaming interactive ads inside their apps. Among its uses, the SDK enables online monetization by engaging mobile users in games and virtual worlds as well as social networks. Virtual currency is earned when mobile users watch branded ads, play a game, or complete offers.
The top investor for this round is one of China's largest venture capital firms, SAIF Partners. Also participating is Greylock, an existing investor. The round brings outside investment at Supersonic to $23.2 million since the company was founded in 2009 with seed funding of $2 million from Michael Van Swaaij (former chairman of Skype). Greylock also provided $6.2 million in the startup's first round financing.
Gil Shoham, co-founder and CEO at Supersonic, said, "The app economy is exploding, not just in the U.S. and EMEA, but in APAC as well. We saw this investment as an opportunity to reach our aggressive growth goals over the next 18 months. By taking strategic investments from one of the most successful venture capital firms in China, as well as our existing investors, we believe we have secured the best possible outcome in the region."
Asked how Supersonic will use the funds, Shoham told VentureBeat, "We have identified several interesting opportunities that … will significantly improve user acquisition effectiveness and ROI." Shoham also mentioned user elimination, retargeting, and the development of forward-thinking audience targeting as objectives. "We will be looking for acquisitions, as well."
Shoham says that an IPO is the longer-range plan.
Ben Ng, Partner with SAIF, has joined Supersonic's board. Supersonic simultaneously announced plans to expand in the Asia-Pacific region by opening offices in Beijing, Tokyo and Bangalore to pursue business development and management of the Asian market.
The company cited strong growth, currently at a $100 million annual run rate during its third quarter.
By the end of 2014, Supersonic estimates it will hire an additional 80, bringing headcount to 250 worldwide from 150 today. The company said it will spend to improve audience targeting and app attribution technology. On the marketing side, Supersonic says it will increase supply-side advertising platform awareness in the industry.
Supersonic's chief competitors include Tapjoy, TrialPay, Flurry, inMobi, and Millenial Media. A company spokesperson said that Supersonic's SDK offers a unified, end-end mobile platform for ad developers. The cloud package provides ad serving, network mediation and a real-time bidding (RTB) marketplace. These and other features are included in a single SDK with a single fee structure.Supersonic re-branded itself earlier this month, from SupersonicAds.

Plumbtech Tip of the Month: Spring is here; don't let the melt get you down
The spring melt leads to higher water table and the higher risk of basement floods due to ground water. Inspecting your pump prior to the snow melting is easy to do and highly recommended so you're not caught off guard with a seized or burnt out pump. Located on your pump is a float switch that will turn the pump on as the water rises in the sump pit and will turn the pump off when the water in pumped down. Simply pull the float up to ensure the pump is working and does not make a grinding sound. Your sump pump is generally your first and last defense from ground water damaging your largest investment, but it doesn't have to be. There are a variety of backup sump pump systems available to give you peace of mind. If a power outage occurs or your sump pump fails you are notified and protected until you replace the primary pump. The most common back up system is a marine battery powered pump. The unit comes equip with a battery tender to maintain the life of the battery and keep it fully charged. Most units also have an audible alarm to notify you when your primary pump fails the backup system has taken over.

By Wallace McBride, Fort Jackson LeaderFebruary 27, 2014
FORT JACKSON, S.C. (Feb. 27, 2014) -- Col. Stephen Yackley's military career was supposed to last three years. It ended up lasting for more than four decades.
Fort Jackson's deputy commander retired last week after 41 years of military service that included time as both an enlisted Soldier and officer.
"My father lived through World War I, World War II and the Great Depression, so we had a very strong belief and love for the country," Yackley said. "And I had a lot of uncles who were World War II veterans. I had a desire to join the service, and actually thought I was going to join the Navy. I made the decision to go into the Army when I was a senior in high school."
With his mother's consent, he enlisted at age 17 and went on active duty immediately after graduating high school.
"I went from being a high school graduate who would have liked to go to college but could not afford it, to now having a bachelor's degree and two masters degrees," Yackley said. "I owe much of this to the Army. Once I got in, I realized it was something I liked. It was merit based: You work hard, you get promoted and you achieved. And I appreciated that."
Brig Gen. Bradley Becker, Fort Jackson's commanding general, said Yackley was a dedicated career Soldier.
"More that anyone I have served with, Steve just loves being a Soldier," Becker said during last week's retirement ceremony at the Officers' Club. "While I've only worked with Steve for a short time, something I've learned about him is that he's the guy behind the scenes making things happen, getting the job done ... but he never seeks the spotlight or asks the credit."
Yackley spent his first military tour as a mechanic, but switched to the infantry after his first re-enlistment and volunteered for the Rangers.
"That was probably the best experience I had in all of my 41 years," Yackley said. "There were four of my fellow platoon mates who came to the retirement dinner and ceremony last Friday. We still keep in touch after all these years, because it was such a highly professional organization."
He said his career hit a wall in 1980. Yackley had left the Rangers and was working in a mechanized unit in Germany, but wanted to either go to the 10th Special Forces Group in Bad Toelz, Germany, or back to the Rangers. Neither option was available to him.
"The Army at the time had changed its policies," he said. "Since I was considered a 'career Soldier,' I could only re-enlist for my present duty assignment. So I took that as an opportunity to transition out of the Army, go into the Reserves and go back to school to get a degree. I ended up joining ROTC and became an officer."
Yackley's two sons would later follow in his footsteps as Airborne Ranger infantrymen. The oldest, Steve, served as a platoon leader with the 82nd Airborne in Afghanistan and with the 2nd Ranger Battalion in Afghanistan and Iraq. The youngest, Chris, is an infantry platoon leader in the 82nd Airborne and is currently deployed in Afghanistan.
Yackley first came to Fort Jackson in 2001 as a battalion commander for the 1st Battalion, 61st Infantry Regiment with 28 years of experience in the Army.
"We were still doing the same Basic Combat Training that I went through in 1973 at Fort Polk, (La.), even though the world had changed," he said. "We looked at how we could change the program for Basic Combat Training and were able to do that. Of course, the events of 9/11 helped accelerate that."
His battalion was deployed in 2003 to Hungary, where it trained Iraqi exiles to assist forces in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
"We spent about four and a half months there, training free Iraqi forces to go in there with our folks," he said. "It was not a common experience for a Basic Combat Training unit to deploy outside its training base."
He returned to Fort Jackson in 2006 as commander for the 193rd Infantry Brigade.
"I knew the training environment, and I knew Fort Jackson," Yackley said. "As a brigade commander, I saw changes we'd started to implement take effect. We were really able to accelerate the training to where it was really compact focused."
His last assignment to Fort Jackson, which began two years ago, proved to be his last. Even though his Army career was longer than he ever could have imagined as a 17-year-old high school senior, Yackley told the audience at his retirement ceremony that the years still passed quickly.
"Now, as I look back forty-plus years later, I wonder where the time went," he said. "I never planned on serving this long, I just never got tired of being a Soldier. I can't say that I enjoyed all of it, but the good experiences heavily outweigh the bad, and I value every minute I have served."

Top-Rated Gourmet Meatloaf
But lighter!
One of the top-rated meatloaf recipes on the Food Network website comes from the Joe Allen restaurant. We are making this meatloaf lower in saturated fat and higher in fiber by making a few switches. Instead of using 1 cup of white bread breadcrumbs, I used 100% whole-wheat bread. Instead of sauteing the vegetables in 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, I used 1 tablespoon of canola oil. Ground sirloin (around 7% fat) is the base for our light meatloaf instead of regular fat ground beef and I used 1 higher omega-3 egg plus 2 tablespoons egg substitute (or 1 egg white) instead of 2 regular eggs.
Making these changes cut from each serving:
- 110 calories
- 14 grams total fat
- 5 grams saturated fat
- 25 mg cholesterol
And fiber increases by about .5 gram per serving!
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup finely chopped carrots
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon fresh thyme (1/2 teaspoon dried thyme can be used)
3 pounds ground sirloin or extra lean ground beef (around 7% fat)
1 cup whole wheat fresh bread crumbs (put 2 to 3 slices of firm whole wheat bread into a small food processor and pulse until breadcrumbs form)
1 large egg, higher omega-3 if available
2 tablespoons egg substitute (or 1 egg white)
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon prepared mustard (add another tablespoon if desired)
2 tablespoons steak sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (add more if desired)
- Preheat oven to 400-degrees. Coat a 9 x 9-inch round or square nonstick baking dish lightly with canola oil.
- Heat tablespoon of canola oil in medium nonstick frying pan. Stir in onions, celery, carrots, garlic, and thyme and saute until soft. Let cool slightly.
- In large mixing bowl, combine remaining ingredients, along with the cooled vegetables, and mix with your clean hands or a strong mixing spoon. Shape meat mixture into a loaf in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for about 1 hour or until meat is cooked throughout and nicely brown on the edges. Serve with mashed potatoes or any other favorite side dish!

Info: For the Love of Empty Net Goals, By Lisa Ovens
Check out Journalist, Sandra Thomas's book review here
For the Love of Empty net Goals follows critically acclaimed hockey author, Lisa Ovens as she navigates the wonderful world of professional hockey. Lisa's offbeat hockey adventures take her from the Sunbelt to the Rustbelt examining NHL hockey culture and documenting the rise of the female hockey fan like no other book has done before.
From the NHL Lockout, to hosting the 2010 Winter Olympics in her backyard, Lisa covers the latest transformation of North America's fourth big league sport with style, humor and honesty.
Never before has the female hockey fan received so much attention from the National Hockey League and sports media in general. Lisa Ovens's new book is as timely as it gets for hockey enthusiasts everywhere.
Frequently Asked Questions
It's not often women launch hockey books, but for some reason, whenever I do it's necessary for me to answer questions about the book to help clear up any potential confusion surrounding the content and my motivations for writing the book.
Is this book a continuation of your first book, Hockey & High Heels?
Hockey & High Heels covered one hockey season. For the Love of Empty Net Goals spans six seasons (including the lost the season, the Lockout). So much has happened with the game and the fans, especially female hockey fans. It is an epic adventure that I have written extensively about, but I have selected highlights from each season of my life following hockey since H&HH. A few of my previously published hockey articles and blog entries are blended into the story, along with plenty of general hockey information.
Readers of H&HH will find that I address a few story lines left hanging at the end of that book using the flashback technique. Some of the same cast from H&HH is along for the ride for FTLOENG, but some new friends are introduced, too.
For Hockey & High Heels reviews and comments, please click here
Are your books fiction or non fiction?
H&HH and FTLOENG are both non fiction books and would fall under the Humor: Sports category or Humor: Hockey Culture.
Is this book about Women's hockey?
FTLOENG contains one chapter titled "She Shoots She Scores and She Loves it!" It begins with the woman's game from the perspective of a new player (me) and then moves all the way up to the greatest women to play the game and the shaky ground their game currently stands upon.
I have done my best to capture the hockey fan experience: both the enjoyment of the game and some of the common issues we all face. I am also a travel enthusiast, so I spent a good amount of time traveling for hockey so you can expect several travel stories. Plus I include information and tips as it relates to my experience.
Is this about Hockey History?
It's funny how often I am asked that question. I must look like a hockey historian or something. Mostly its recent hockey history though I do refer to the occasional significant historical hockey moment if it relates to the context of the story. For the most part this is a book about today's game.
What gives you the authority to write about hockey?
With my first book, Hockey & High Heels, I came out of nowhere. But with that book I made my way to the NHL involved in hockey events for women. Over time, I have consulted on all kinds of things related to marketing the sport to women. I have had the opportunity to chat with all kinds of people about the game, the culture and the hockey fan culture. I have done countless hours researching and observing the game and the people in love with it. As a former advertising and marketing professional, what goes on with the business of sport piques my interest.
I have an interesting background when it comes to the male/ female dynamic: at one time I lived and worked in a Middle Eastern culture, I spent a considerable amount of time working in a male dominated field (consumer electronics) and have also worked in female dominated industries.
It's almost like I was born to tackle sports.
About the Author
Lisa's 2010 Winter Olympics blog, 2010 and High Heels was listed as a top blog to follow along with blogs at the New York Times, The Toronto Star and the Vancouver Sun (she was the only female blogger on the list). She enjoys hockey and collecting art. This is her second book.

Chapter 2 : Chapter Two: Unwelcome Guest
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 5
Background: Font color:
Harry looked up as he saw someone in the doorway, and was surprised to see Snape standing there, and at the same moment his scar gave a twinge of pain. Snape stared at Harry, saying nothing. Harry rolled his eyes and ignored him, pressing his hand over his scar trying to soothe the pain. He heard a sudden thump, and looked up wildly. Snape was lying on the ground, and Voldemort was approaching him. How the hell did he get here?!? Harry thought frantically as he gave a yelp of surprise and jumped off the couch, looking for a way to escape as he started to back up against the wall.
Voldemort hurried towards him with a sadistic smile and before Harry could yell for help, Voldemort clamped a hand over his mouth. Harry's scar seared with pain, and he gave a loud, muffled cry. Voldemort pull Harry closer to him, keeping a grip on his back as Harry struggled against him. He lowered his head and closed his eyes, his scar growing painful as Voldemort touched him.
Harry heard footsteps, and lifted his head. Remus and Sirius were first to appear, and looked fearful at Voldemort and Harry. Harry then saw a wave of people rush in behind them, and their shocked faces as they took in the scene. Harry clawed at the hand on his mouth, and the one retraining him, by Voldemort tightened his grip and chuckled.
"Lower your wands, Lupin and Black." Voldemort commanded, sending a chill down everyone's spine.
Harry looked up and saw both Remus and Sirius had taken out their wands, pointing them straight at Voldemort. They seemed hesitant, and only lowered there wands slightly. Harry felt Voldemort release his mouth and back, and sucked in a deep breath before Voldemort tightened an arm around his neck, and grabbed his wand out of his robes quickly. Harry now clawed at the arm that was cutting off some of his air supply, and felt Voldemort's wand poke him at his throat.
"Lower your wands now, or I will kill Potter!" Voldemort yelled, anger in his voice as he started to loose his patience.
"H-he won't do it!" Harry choked out, seeing the looks of fear in their eyes.
"Silence!" Voldemort hissed at Harry, jabbing the wand harder into his throat.
Remus and Sirius finally dropped their hands to their sides, noticing that Harry could hardly breathe and didn't want to take the chance of Voldemort acting of his threat. Harry looked at the faces staring at him, and was surprised to see Hermione, Ginny, and Molly crying silently, while Tonks, Mad Eye, and Arthur tried to mask their fear, unlike Ron, Fred, George, Remus, and Sirius, who all looked fearful.
"You didn't think that you could escape me so easily, did you, Potter?" Voldemort asked Harry, his voice now calm and silky.
"Let g-go of me!" Harry choked out, ignoring his question.
"That would be counter-productive, Potter. Now answer me."
Harry didn't answer, the pain in his scar was reaching it's breaking point. He could feel blood soaking through the bandage that Remus had put over his scar, and felt it start to drip down his face slowly.
"Why do you need Harry?" Remus asked, wanting to stall Voldemort as much as he could.
"You see, Lupin, I wasn't done talking to Harry when he left so rudely in May. I want information, and I plan to get it." Voldemort answered coldly.
"I won't tell you anything!" Harry spat.
"Crucio!" Voldemort yelled, jabbing his wand harder into Harry's throat.
Harry yelled out as pain coursed through him, doubling over as his body started twitching uncontrollably. He tried to bow his head so that his face hidden, but Voldemort had caught him by his hair and pulled Harry up straight, allowing everyone to see the pain etched upon Harry's face as smirked.
"Stop it!" Sirius yelled desperately.
Voldemort laughed, and released Harry of the curse. Harry breathed deeply, his body trembling with the after shock. If Voldemort hadn't had a grip on him, Harry legs would of failed to keep him up straight.
"What do you want? Just name it and we'll give it to you, just give us Harry back." Sirius pleaded.
"Doesn't that feel familiar, Harry?" Voldemort asked loudly for everyone to hear, ignoring Sirius, "Someone begging for your life?"
"And Black, the only thing I want is to kill Harry Potter. And I plan to do just that after he gives me the information I want." Voldemort finally replied.
There was nothing anyone could do. No one could throw a curse at Voldemort without hitting Harry, and Harry was too weak to fight back anymore because of the pain he was in. Voldemort knew that, and had a look of triumph on his face. Harry knew right away this wasn't going to be good. He hardly knew anything about the Order so far, let alone the things Voldemort would want him to tell.
"I'm finished here. Say goodbye, Potter. I doubt you'll be seeing them anytime soon." Voldemort spoke with a smirk.
Harry's eyes widened as he looked at the faces in the room, fear creeping inside him. Sirius had raised his wand and pointed it at Voldemort, but before he could do anything, Voldemort Apparated himself and Harry out of Grimmauld Place.
Harry landed with a thud on the ground, and tried not to vomit. His stomach was flipping from Apparating for the first time. Voldemort gripped Harry harder and forced him to walk with him, jabbing his wand hard into Harry's back.
Harry looked around his surroundings, but there was hardly anything there. The hallway he was walking down was made of gray stone, and had no windows. Candles on the wall lit the way, there were cracks on the cement floor. They finally reached a door at the end of the hallway, a wooden door with a small window with bars. Voldemort stopped and opened the door with his wand, and took the wand out of Harry's jeans that he had not been able to reach. Harry gulped and watched as Voldemort pocketed it into his own robes.
"Try not to get too comfortable." Voldemort sneered as Harry peered into the room.
It was the same as the outside; grey walls, windowless, but only a single candle could be found, and it was freezing. Before he could do anything, Voldemort pushed Harry so harshly into the room that he lost his balance, and hit his head on the wall. Harry felt blood start to soak at his scalp, and knew no more.

I pulled all my photos and re-uploaded 15 new pics strictly of my own photoshopped creations. AGAIN, no replies EVER from moderators to my changes. After several days I got a post from the first moderator again saying my app was being reviewed by the mighty panel of judges that reviewd all such things. A WEEK later I posted a question about whether I would ever hear a decision and was told a few days later on the message post page that the decision to deny me (AGAIN) had been made days earlier. Nobody told ME about that until I asked the actual question. My profile page showed no signs of being updated in any way with any new status information. Also I was warned very sternly that if I tried to resubmit my application it would be the THIRD time I had done so, and if the appliaction was still denied I would be banned from the site forever and never allowed to resubmit again.
Now they have erased all my login information and the sight does not even show that I have ever registered there. STILL I HAVE NO CLEAR ANSWER EVER ON WHY I WAS DENIED!
In one of the moderator posts the implication was made that perhaps the work was not mine, but they ALL ARE MINE and I have the raw photos as well as the photoshopped layer files to prove my work, but I cannot get any reply from the site at all. THEY should have to prove that the work is not mine, I shouldnt have to prove to them that it is! WHAT is WRONG with this site? Doesnt anybody actually RUN it, or do the members just invite their friends, or WHAT??? I have never seen a community site, which is all about getting more members with like interests in one place, so IMPOSSIBLE to join in. WTF???

A petition to take action to rescue a prisoner of war from Idaho needs thousands of signatures to get the president's attention.
The petition to free Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl "using all means available," including force, was created Jan. 17 on the White House's We the People site. As of Thursday morning, it had close to 6,000 signatures. For the White House to respond, it needs to reach the 100,000 mark by Feb. 16.
Bergdahl is only American prisoner of war. Bergdahl was taken by the Taliban in 2009 in Afghanistan, but the military believes he may be in Pakistan now. In a conversation with Bergdahl's family in 2012, President Obama said the soldier's release was a high priority.
Earlier this month, U.S. officials said they had new proof-of-life video by his captors. They said it shows Bergdahl in diminished health. But the video is not being released.
Petitions can gather signatures quickly. For example, a petition to deport troubled Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber was started on Jan. 23 and had more than 194,000 signatures by Thursday.

The purpose of the present study was to determine the effects of short-term supplementation with the free acid form of β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB-FA) on indices of muscle damage, protein breakdown, recovery and hormone status following a high-volume resistance training session in trained athletes. A total of twenty resistance-trained males were recruited to participate in a high-volume resistance training session centred on full squats, bench presses and dead lifts. Subjects were randomly assigned to receive either 3 g/d of HMB-FA or a placebo. Immediately before the exercise session and 48 h post-exercise, serum creatine kinase (CK), urinary 3-methylhistadine (3-MH), testosterone, cortisol and perceived recovery status (PRS) scale measurements were taken. The results showed that CK increased to a greater extent in the placebo (329 %) than in the HMB-FA group (104 %) (P= 0·004, d= 1·6). There was also a significant change for PRS, which decreased to a greater extent in the placebo (9·1 (sem 0·4) to 4·6 (sem 0·5)) than in the HMB-FA group (9·1 (sem 0·3) to 6·3 (sem 0·3)) (P= 0·005, d= − 0·48). Muscle protein breakdown, measured by 3-MH analysis, numerically decreased with HMB-FA supplementation and approached significance (P= 0·08, d= 0·12). There were no acute changes in plasma total or free testosterone, cortisol or C-reactive protein. In conclusion, these results suggest that an HMB-FA supplement given to trained athletes before exercise can blunt increases in muscle damage and prevent declines in perceived readiness to train following a high-volume, muscle-damaging resistance-training session.

This exhibition features work by two artists whose work redefines the quilt genre and whose innovative ideas are as powerful as their quilts.
A fabric designer, plant artist, and book author, master quilter Yoshiko Jinzenji creates objects of beauty from her studios in Japan and Indonesia. She has been inspired by North American Amish and Mennonite artisan traditions, Asian dyeing and weaving techniques, and the Mandala. She seeks to create "shadows and light, and to find a balance between minimalism and a sense of richness." Known for her spare aesthetic and rich use of textures, Jinzenji has also pioneered the dyeing of fabric with bamboo. The concentrated strength of her artistry transforms cloth, whether through quilting and piecing or by natural dyeing, which she considers a complementary process.
Hailing from Kansas, Virginia Jean Cox Mitchell creates quilts based on historical and personal research and symbolic forms, all pieced, appliquéd, and stitched by hand to portray complex historical moments and seasonal events. Her quilts and quilt tops feature rich combinations of text and textile, springing from the personal and the topical, the meanings of holidays, the abundance of Kansas quilting and farming traditions, and more. In addition to producing these major works of art, Virginia Jean Cox Mitchell has made twenty-eight different quilt blocks about Kansas and authored the book Quilt Kansas!, published in conjunction with the Kansas Quilt Symposium in 1978.
This exhibition pairs the two artists' work to reveal contrasts as well as continuities.
The exhibited quilts are drawn from the significant recent gifts that each artist independently made to the Spencer Museum of Art's permanent collection. In 2007, Yoshiko Jinzenji donated her life-work of quilts to the Spencer Museum, the only repository of her work in Kansas. Other museums that house Yoshiko Jizenji collections include the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and the Museum of Arts and Design in New York.
In 2013, Virginia Jean Cox Mitchell and her husband Bill Mitchell (a longtime curator for the Spencer Research Library) generously donated Jean's body of work to the Spencer Museum. The gift includes quilt blocks and nearly twenty quilts and quilt tops, plus pillow covers and a banner.
We are humbled by the astonishing gifts from both artists, and we are delighted to share their quilts with visitors through this exhibition.
Sponsored by Kaw Valley Quilters Guild and Spencer Museum of Art.

Playa del Amor (Lover's Beach)
Playa del Amor - or Lover's Beach - is a true hidden gem, nestled amongst the craggy rocks of Land's End.
Reached only by boat, this perfect crescent of sand is surrounded by rocky outcrops, including views of El Arco.
The secluded location is a romantic destination for a day by the sea, the lovely stretch of sand extending across the Land's End peninsula from the Sea of Cortes to the Pacific Ocean.
The water here is dangerous, so take care if you go for a swim or snorkel, and only enter the water on the Sea of Cortes side of the beach.
Practical Info
Playa del Amor is on Land's End, washed by the Pacific Ocean on one side and the Sea of Cortes on the other. The beach can only be reached by cruise or water taxi from Cabo San Lucas.
