BLOOMFIELD - An ongoing narcotics investigation initiated on Jan. 28 by members of the SEMO Drug Task Force led to the discovery and dismantling of a methamphetamine and marijuana distribution ring. Investigators learned that the ring, based in Blytheville, Ark., had several distribution points in Southeast Missouri to include Dexter.
SEMO Drug Task Force officers and a Stoddard County deputy made six undercover purchases of methamphetamine from John T. Hayes, 36, and Melanie Smith, 32, of Caruthersville. The purchases ranged from 1/8 to 1/4 ounces of methamphetamine. The final purchase was made on Feb. 15 from Hayes when he delivered 1/4 ounce of methamphetamine to undercover officers in Dexter.
Hayes was confronted and agreed to cooperate with officers. He gave consent to a search of his residence. A small quantity of methamphetamine and marijuana were seized during the search.
Then on Feb. 19, officers from the SEMO Drug Task Force utilized Hayes and conducted a controlled purchase of 1/2 ounce of methamphetamine from his supplier, Harold Bobby Reno Jr., 34, of Steele. An anticipatory search warrant was issued by members of the Bootheel Drug Task Force and Missouri State Highway Patrol at Reno's residence just west of Steele. Approximately 1/2 ounce of methamphetamine, 1/2 pound of marijuana, one handgun, drug paraphernalia and $3,030 in currency were seized.
The suspects continued to assist law enforcement officials with the investigation. On Feb. 21, members of the Bootheel Drug Task Force and SEMO Drug Task Force utilized Reno and arrangements were made for his source to deliver one ounce of methamphetamine and one pound of marijuana. William F. Butterfield Jr., 36, of Blytheville, conducted a transaction with Reno that evening. Reno paid Butterfield, $2,100 for one ounce of methamphetamine and one pound of marijuana. Butterfield was immediately confronted and his wife, Johnna Butterfield, 32, also of Blytheville, was found to be in possession of an additional one ounce of methamphetamine.
Butterfield also agreed to cooperate and a multi-state investigation continues into the distribution of methamphetamine and marijuana into his source in Blytheville. The source has been identified as L.B. Coleman, 26, who is said to be a high level drug dealer in Blytheville.
Coleman was arrested Thursday in Blytheville by detectives with the Blytheville Police Department on a Stoddard County warrant for distribution of a controlled substance (methamphetamine) in Dexter. Other co-conspirators are expected to be arrested in the near future.
A drug trafficking organization has been stopped from distributing methamphetamine from Blytheville to Steele to Caruthersville and to Dexter. The Drug Enforcement Administration also assisted in this investigation.

by Dante Alighieri
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Canto.Line). We used Allen Mandelbaum's translation.
Quote #7
[Virgil]: … "Look at that mighty one who comes
and does not seem to shed a tear of pain:
how he still keeps the image of a king!
That shade is Jason, who with heart and head
deprived the men of Colchis of their ram…
With polished words and love signs he took in
Hypsipyle, the girl whose own deception
had earlier deceived the other women.
And he abandoned her, alone and pregnant;
such guilt condemns him to such punishment;
and for Medea, too, revenge is taken." (Inf. XVIII, 83-96)
Jason, the mythical leader of the Argonauts, shows that Virgil's "persuasive word" can be turned to evil uses. Although the Italian phrase used to describe Virgil's speech, "parole ornate," remains the same, Mandelbaum chooses to translate Jason's speech as "polished words" instead of "persuasive." This highlights Jason's flashy image and professed gallantry, which woo women to him, while allowing his vile nature to lurk underneath. Here, in the first ring of fraud, readers begin to doubt the goodness of the "persuasive word," or elaborate language, when they see that it can persuade people with false hopes and lead to tragic consequences.
Quote #8
I stood as does the friar who confesses
the foul assassin who, fixed fast, head down,
calls back the friar, and so delays his death;
and he cried out: "Are you already standing,
already standing there, o Boniface?
The book has lied to me by several years.
Are you so quickly sated with the riches
for which you did not fear to take by guile
the Lovely Lady, then to violate her?"
And I became like those who stand as if
they have been mocked, who cannot understand
what has been said to them and can't respond. (Inf. XIX, 49-60)
When mistaken by Pope Nicholas III for his successor Pope Boniface VIII come to replace him in Hell, Dante is tempted to play along and to trick Nicholas into believing he will bring him some relief. This is evidenced by his hesitation to refute Nicholas' words and it is not until Virgil scolds Dante into telling the truth that he reveals his true identity. Thus, Virgil's claim that fraud is the worst and most human sin gains legitimacy here because even the moral Dante is swayed for a moment to succumb to deceit. The scene receives an even greater flavor of dishonesty when Dante describes himself (in a simile) as a friar with the authority to confess a sinner – something which he definitely is not. That Dante even dares to suggest such a dishonest image implies that he is feeling the effects of the fraud all around him.
Quote #9
Below that point we found a painted people,
who moved about with lagging steps, in circles,
weeping, with features tired and defeated.
And they were dressed in cloaks with cowls so low
they fell before their eyes, of that same cut
that's used to make the clothes for Cluny's monks
Outside, these cloaks were gilded and they dazzled;
but inside they were all of lead, so heavy
that Frederick's capes were straw compared to them.
A tiring mantle for eternity! (Inf. XXIII, 58-67)
The hypocrites or Jovial Friars have all the hallmarks of a deceitful people. They are "painted" and their "cloaks were gilded" so that "they dazzled." On the surface, these sinners are brilliantly attractive, drawing the eye with their golden robes, but on the inside the mantles are lined with "lead," "so heavy" that their wearers must walk "tired and defeated." What initially promises to be beautiful suddenly turns out to be ugly and restrictive. This comments on the Friars' actions in life: they promised to keep the peace in their provinces but instead founded their own orders, bringing strife and violence to the land.

Vermont Health Exchange Confirms Security Breach
The website for Vermont's healthcare exchange gave one user access to another user's Social Security number and other personal information, state officials confirmed Monday.
Vermont officials told the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that the breach, one of the first documented under the healthcare law, appeared to be limited to one person.
Cybersecurity experts and some members of Congress fear the online insurance marketplaces could offer hackers a trove of personal data on insurance customers. So far, only one other case has come to light: Earlier this month, a North Carolina man said he could access the data of another man in South Carolina after he logged onto the federal healthcare exchange website.
According to an incident report released by Vermont Health Connect, a person they did not name applied for coverage on the exchange's website during the week of Oct. 7. The application included the person's Social Security number, address and other personal information.
Less than two weeks later, the individual received a printed copy of that application in an envelope with no return address, according to the incident report, which was first obtained by the Associated Press. On the back of the envelope, someone wrote in hand, "VERMONT HEALTH CONNECT IS NOT A SECURE WEBSITE!"
In the incident report, state officials said they determined that two people were linked through a recycled user name, allowing one to see the other's application. Vermont Health Connect officials supplied the incident report, but declined additional comment.
"VHC is still investigating but has determined that this recycling of passwords or linked user accounts was an isolated event," the documents said. "The individual was contacted by VHC and was reassigned a new account access and assured their account was secured."

Is This a Bubble, Or Is This What a Recovery Looks Like?
Is it or isn't it? We none of us seem to be able to decide if we are living in yet another bubble, or whether this time it is different. Or maybe this is what a tech recovery actually looks like.
The Los Angeles Times reports that the Valley is gripped by a hiring frenzy
Silicon Valley is looking like an economic Shangri-La as companies here hire aggressively and court prospective recruits with free food, lots of perks and loads of cash. Competition for talent is especially fierce among Internet and social media companies.
Internet search giant Google gave all of its 24,000 employees a 10% raise this year. And it announced in January that 2011 would be its biggest hiring year ever. Google does not disclose specific hiring numbers, but its previous biggest hiring year was 2007, when it added nearly 6,200 people around the globe.
So why does this make it a bubble? Because people are starting to pay crazy money just to hire ordinary programmers. So says The New York Times:
Then there are salaries. Google is paying computer science majors just out of college $90,000 to $105,000, as much as $20,000 more than it was paying a few months ago. That is so far above the industry average of $80,000 that start-ups cannot match Google salaries. Google declined to comment.
Two executives at a small start-up who spoke on the condition of anonymity said it recently lost an intern when one of the biggest start-ups offered the candidate a 40 percent bump in stock options, potentially worth hundreds of thousands of dollars — but only if the candidate accepted the job before hanging up the phone.
Venture Beat reports a similar picture:
The improving economy explains in part why the tech job recruiting picture is starting to look so good for skilled workers. The New York Times says the perks at places such as Google routinely include free meals, shuttle buses, and stock options. Zynga offers free haircuts and iPads to recruits. Instagram offers personal food and drink orders from employees. Starting salaries at Google for computer scientists are $90,000 to $105,000.
But Venture Beat is not in the bubble camp, yet.
Ben Horowitz, co-founder of Andressen Horowitz, wrote on his blog that everybody is overly worried about today's bubble compared to the dotcom bubble. He says, "high valuations are fine if the underlying value is there." He notes that the valuation multiples of the bubble era were ten times higher than current multiples, suggesting that the company valuations today are based on real revenues and profits. He also notes that the flow of money into venture capital today is a quarter of what it was during the dotcom bubble. What we have instead, he said, is the long-awaited arrival of the internet boom.
Los Angeles Times: High-tech industry on hiring binge in California; Google, Facebook and Zynga lead the pack
New York Times: Silicon Valley Hiring Perks: Meals, iPads and a Cubicle for Spot
Venture Beat: Silicon Valley is abuzz with bubble and recovery stories — too soon?

The Masters: Not Just Another Tournament
The same players will play just as many holes of golf at the Masters as at any other big PGA Tour event. Some will play better than others. The Masters is a golf tournament, and there is no amount of Spanish moss or pimento cheese sandwiches that can change that. But of course, the Masters is not just a golf tournament.
For all the branded pomp and ambient self-importance and Tradition Like No Other-iness, the Masters is also The Masters, and there is something undeniably special about that. Here is a golf tournament where the requisite knuckleheads yelling "Get in the hole" are dealt with as firmly they should be, where the game looks and feels and really is a little different. That mythos can fog things up a bit, at times—there is an interesting scientific explanation for Bubba Watson's miracle shot at last year's Masters, but the whole Masters Thing makes it easier and more appealing to appeal to the spirits of Amen Corner and leave it at that. The cure for this, as the first day of the Masters proved, is to play some actual golf.
That's because the Masters is just a very entertaining golf tournament to watch—one in which a very beautiful and very difficult course pushes the best players in the world push each other about as hard as either can be pushed. The first-day stories are great. In the case of 14-year-old Tianlang Guan, the youngest player in Masters history and author of a rock-solid, super-cool opening round 73, armed with healthy snacks his mother packed him, the first-day story is really just awesomely great. But the golf's the thing
After one day, Aussie Marc Leishman and ex-prodigy Sergio Garcia—the former cautiously optimistic and the latter a good deal more jaded (or realistic) at 33 than he was during his Rising Star years—are the leaders in that golf tournament. Big names such as Dustin Johnson (-5) and Rickie Fowler (-4) are close behind as play begins Friday. And Tiger Woods, this and every tournament's biggest name, got off to an audibly profane start and struggled to turn it on early, but finished four strokes off the lead and two strokes under par. Weather permitting, there's a lot of golf left to be played on Friday, and you'll be able to follow it right here through the weekend thanks to regular updates from Augusta. The only guarantees: it will be scenic, and it will be golf. It will be the Masters, which means it will probably be a little overstated in its self-regard, and pretty great.
* * *
The New York Knicks clinched the Atlantic Division crown earlier this week, and have been both better and exponentially more fun than even the most optimistic fans might have hoped. But they have not been healthy all season long, and are spectacularly, outrageously not-healthy at the moment. The Knicks were without most of their top frontcourt players, as well as a number of the players who would ordinarily back those two up, when they set out to defend their 13-game winning streak in Chicago on Thursday. That left Chris Copeland, a 29-year-old rookie forward and no one's idea of a NBA center, to start in the pivot against the Bulls in what wound up being an overtime loss.
In some sense, this was just what it looks like—Copeland's the next man up, the Knicks need someone to play center, and that's that. But the story of how Copeland came to make the NBA after an unremarkable college career and a European career marked by rejection and doubt is a story in its own right. In a long profile at SB Nation, Flinder Boyd—a former pro who was briefly Copeland's teammate in Spain—explains how Copeland went from being released by a second-tier Spanish League team to starting, however improbably, in the NBA.
"There is something, perhaps inexplicable, which drives a man to clench his teeth and continue to pursue a seemingly unattainable dream, when most of us—perhaps, all of us—allow the reality of our lives and the sting of disappointment to dictate our destiny," Boyd writes. "Copeland, for reasons most of us could probably never understand, stubbornly stuck with his dream with a singular focus against the skepticism and better judgment of nearly all of those around him."

Join us for the ocean sailing adventure of a lifetime on our classic S&S Swan 48 Isbjörn. Cross an ocean & discover the lure of the open sea, all aboard a beautiful, classic & safe ocean-sailing machine. Why? Because life is short, and time slows down out there.
Quite simply, we aim to share the infinite wisdom of the high seas with those wise enough to seek them out. We've sailed tens of thousands of bluewater miles in our boats and others', and yet the magic of a night watch at sea remains as strong as ever. We want to share that magic with you. Join us, and find out for yourself.
In conjunction with Paul Exner & Modern Geographic, we also offer yacht delivery services to boat owners & a variety of workshops. Plus, I host the killer sailing podcast 'On The Wind.' You can read about all of our adventures in our blogs. So browse the site, check out the passage calendar, and join us offshore!
Click the blue drop-down menu at the top of the map to choose the expedition you'd like to see positions for. Past expeditions are also saved here.
I met Mia backpacking in New Zealand in 2006, and we have been inseparable since. We got married in Sweden in 2011 and crossed the Atlantic in our yawl Arcturus a few weeks later. We recently sold the house in Lancaster PA and moved onto Isbjorn. Arcturus is still in Sweden, and was sold last fall. You can follow her adventure with the new owner via his website sailingarcturus.com!
We love ocean sailing, and are passionate about all aspects, from proper yacht design to sail selection for offshore sailing, yacht rigging, gear, safety equipment and more. I hold both USCG Master Mariner and RYA Yachtmaster Oceans credentials. I'm particularly conscious of rigging on ocean sailing yachts, having worked for a few years in Annapolis for Southbound Cruising Services, learning about all aspects of rigging and getting some awesome on-the-job experience. Having refitted three boats now for ocean sailing (Isbjorn, Arcturus and my dad's Wauquiez Hood 38 Sojourner), it's taught me a lot about systems and gear, and how to prioritize, optimize and simplify them for crossing oceans.
Mia, for her part, has had a steep learning curve. She wasn't a sailor before we met - in fact, she had never even been aboard a sailboat! That all changed quite quickly, with our first trip aboard a 28' sloop in the Marlboro Sounds on the South Island of New Zealand in 2006. Since then she's logged many thousands of ocean miles with and without me, including three Atlantic crossings (yes, that's one more than me!).
Our sailing adventures have taken us to the South Island of New Zealand, the Whitsunday Islands in Australia, the BVI to St. Martin to Trinidad and everywhere in between in the Eastern Caribbean, New England, Nova Scotia, St. Pierre, Newfoundland, Bermuda, the Azores, Portugal, the Canary Islands, Ireland, Scotland, the North Sea, Sweden and Finland. With 2017's calendar just published for Isbjörn, that list is only going to get longer. In a few years' time, our ultimate goal is to make it way up north to Arctic Norway and beyond.
Last but not least, we're pretty involved in the sailing media, hosting the podcast on sailing called, appropriately, 59º North, and writing on a freelance basis for Attainable Adventure Cruising, SAIL Magazine, Yachting World, SpinSheet and others. You can check out some of my old articles in my published archive here (though it's now a few years out of date).
Liz is the newest member of the 59 North, Ltd. team, and the first that's not Mia or me (or my Dad!). She's working with us an an intern, and I'll let her talk about herself. Here's Liz:
I'm from Litchfield County, CT – but currently live in Groton, CT where I go to school as a Marine Science major with a minor in Evolutionary Ecology & Biology at UConn – Avery Point. I grew up every summer on Cape Cod and that is where my passion for the sea started. I sailed dinghies from age 7-14 at sailing camp, but it wasn't until I started listening to the '59 North Sailing Podcast' that I realized my true passion for sailing. I have always been outdoorsy, and loved the water – but when I started to listen to Andy's podcast I become infatuated with the idea of sailing as a lifestyle. I wanted to know more and experience the wilderness of being offshore.
I met Andy & Mia for the first time at the Annapolis Boat Show in 2015. I expressed my passion for sailing to them and we exchanged emails. A few weeks later I followed up thanking them for being so inspiring and supportive of my dream of one day having blue water sailing as a staple in my everyday life. [Note from Andy: We didn't interview anybody else for this thing - Liz made such a good first impression on us at the show, that we practically invented the internship just for her. Goes to show you what a little passion and determination can do...]
Weeks later Andy offered me an internship of helping with the business side of 59º North in exchange for periodic offshore sails when I had free time. This was an opportunity I didn't even know I was looking for! In Early March 2016 Andy & Mia invited me to help bring Isbjorn from Antigua to Puerto Rico. This was after the boat was hauled out in Antigua to get its rudder fixed. I saw this trip as an opportunity to get what I wanted to do in my life started. I can confidently say that after experiencing just a taste of ocean sailing I know this is what I want to do with my life. It really feels as if I fit this life.
Liz will continue to work with us on the business and the podcast (and a few other exciting, as-yet-to-be-announced projects, so stay tuned for more from her! She's awesome!
Join us on an offshore expedition and get a thorough introduction to ocean sailing aboard our S&S Swan 48 Isbjörn. The classic sloop, built at the legendary Nautor yard in Finland, is recognized as one of the sweetest-sailing and safest ocean-sailing platforms available. While not specifically a sailing school, you'll learn how to stand night watches, navigate, and generally run and manage a boat on a long ocean passage under professional supervision. It's an incredibly fun adventure and a phenomenal life experience. We sail worldwide, offering a variety of opportunities from 500-mile hops in the Caribbean Sea, to full-on Atlantic crossings between the USA and Europe. Check the Sailing Passages calendar to see what's on offer, learn What to Expect, and click here to see How to Book.
Andy & Mia (and Andy's Dad Dennis!) have been delivering yachts together since 2007, and our delivery partner Paul Exner of Modern Geographic has been doing it even longer! Between the four of us, we'll bring your boat back in better condition than you left it, in a timely fashion and for a reasonable fee. We also specialize in owner-assisted deliveries, which are great opportunities for boat owners new to ocean sailing to get their first experience on their own boat in a controlled environment with skipper and mate. See our Yacht Delivery page for details and to enquire.
The 'On the Wind' sailing podcast is my conversations with sailors who love their lives and live their dreams. What started as a hobby and an excuse to talk to people in the sailing world has grown into a hugely popular show and one of my favorite creative pursuits. The podcast is mostly long-form, informal audio conversations with people from around the world of sailing - tall ship captains, Cape Horners, sailing authors, Volvo Ocean Race skippers, yacht designers, family cruisers, Arctic adventurers and classic inspiring sailors like Gary Jobson, Magnus Olsson, Lin & Larry Pardey & Donald Street. I talk to them all in an effort to define what creates success in the sailing world and how to accomplish dreams on the high seas. New episodes publish weekly, usually on Tuesdays. Click here for the episode archive.
We maintain a very small Storefront on the site, selling gear that we use and love. You'll also find our own 59º North 'Oh Dark Thirty' coffee that is roasted in small-batches and packaged just for us in Myerstown, PA at Fat Puppy Coffee Roasters. We get a small percentage of sales on all items which go directly to support the (not insubstantial) cost of maintaining this website and especially producing the podcast.

Make sure you read the title in the voice of Fozzie Bear. I haven't heard Michael Wacha's name pronounced yet, so I settled on the Muppets reference for the title. On to the news…
The St. Louis Cardinals have named young propsect Michael Wacha the starting pitcher for Thursday's tilt with the Royals, and the fantasy baseball world is abuzz over the young callup. Every year we go through these names, including Trevor Bauer and Tyler Skaggs in 2012, and Jose Fernandez/ Tony Cingrani in 2013. Like many propsects, some pan out, some don't, and it is up to the astute fantasy baseballer to decide whether or not Wacha will have success at the major league level.
Wacha is a RHP that will turn 22 on July 1st, 2013 who has experienced a meteoric rise through the minor leagues. 2012 was Michael's first year of minor league experience, so he started off in rookie ball, throwing just 5 IP, and striking out 7 batters before he was promoted to single A.
Wacha's stint at single A was equally short, as he appeared in just 4 games (8 IP) and striking out 16 batters! On he went to double A, where he had just as much success (8 IP, 17 K). It is worth noting that he only threw 21 innings across all 3 levels in 2012, but he struck out an astonishing 40 batters, putting him squarely on the fantasy radar.
For 2013, Wacha opened up in AAA and before his callup had a solid line at 4-0 with a 2.05 ERA and 34 K in 52.2 IP.
Here are a few things to take under consideration when looking at Wacha.
– He has appeared in just 20 games professionally, throwing for 73.2 IP over that span. The Cardinals have already said they plan to limit him to 150 IP this season, and with 52 innings in the minors, that will translate to roughly 20 starts in 2013.
– To help with the innings limit, the Cards have mentioned they plan to skip his starts on occasion to give the youngster plenty of time to rest.
– The Cardinals have a strong history over the last decade of building strong arms from within the organization, whether it was Adam Wainwright, Lance Lynn or Shelby Miller. Michael Wacha could easily join that list with a club that knows how to groom young talent.
– Jose Fernandez or Michael Wacha is a popular question. Fernandez will likely have more success K wise, but Wacha should have the edge in ERA/WHIP and W pitching for the red hot Cardinals.
– Wacha's K/9 went from a blistering 17.1 in 2012 (Rookie ball to Double A) to just 5.8 in 2013 (Triple A). So either the talent got better (an obvious assumption in the pacific coast league) or Wacha started pitching to contact. For those optimists who see Michael posting a K/9 over 8.0 at the big league level, that could be an option in the future, but is highly unlikely for 2013.
Summary – Wacha is an intriguing prospect that should be considered in standard 12 team mixed league formats. As a young starter with an innings limit, you may want to flip him for a guy that can help come fantasy playoff time.
Bold Prediction (2013) – 8-4, 3.45 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 71 K/ 96 IP
Need to know if Michael Wacha is right for you? Jump into the forums where the fantasy baseball discussion will be going throughout the season.

The 1985 models had the same equipment as the 84 models, but a new wheel was added to remind one of the magnum 500 wheel. It was a 4 spoke Enki Wheel. The R-Models were continued and came standard with a fiber glass hood, under drive pulleys, LeMans stripes, 140 MPH speedometer, a side stripe that said G.T. 302 R and 3:73 or 4:10 axle ratios. Other SVO or Motor-Sport parts could be ordered with the car such as Cam, harness seat belts, etc., which was installed only after the car was titled. Some dealers offered an American Racing wheel and a BBS type wheel, also a Walnut 3 spoke steering wheel was a dealer option. There were 135 1985 models built.

There were only 8 cars produced in 1983. Five of them were white hatch-backs with 1965 Shelby stripes, which read, G.T. 350?, 2 read G.T. 302?, and 1 read G.T. 302H. Each car was equipped with a Cobra engine dress up kit with its unique small oval Cobra air cleaner, a Monte Carlo bar, a four point roll cage, a walnut shifter knob, 14 x 6.5 aluminum Shelby 8 spoke wheels with 3 bar knock off spinners, SVO competition suspension, functional hood scoop, competition hood pins & cables and 3:27 axle ratios. There are two aluminum G.T. 350 or G.T. 302 badges on each vehicle; one is located at the rear of the vehicle on the hatch, off set to the right. All of these cars were assembled in Dallas, Texas.
Saleen Mustang History
1984-1993 Saleen Mustang
The first Saleen was built by Steve Saleen, following on concepts, ideas, and experiences he had obtained during his racing career. The original Saleen Mustang, introduced in 1984, received only modifications to the exterior, interior, and suspension, making the car more accepting of the hard corners found in road racing. Only 3 Saleen Mustangs were made in 1984 and they were numbered 31, 51, and 52 to make it seem like they made more than they actually did (I have no idea why). The 1984-1993 Saleens were made mostly from LX Hatchbacks and Convertibles however there were a few LX Coupes made into Saleens, however they are very rare. (3 to be exact: Rarest Ford Mustangs)
As noted above the difference in the 1984-1988 Saleen Mustangs was in its handling. The suspension was upgraded to handle road racing type conditions. The exterior and interior were also upgraded to set its self apart from a stock LX. 1989 was the first year that Saleen used a modified engine. The new Saleen was named the SSC. The power of the SSC was increased to 292 horsepower and in comparison to the stock 225 horsepower of the Mustang GT, it made a big difference. Out of the 895 Saleen Mustangs made in 1989, 161 were SSCs.
The year 1990 brought a Saleen Mustang with similar modifications as the 1989 model. The SSC was renamed to SC and the high horsepower Saleen received a boost in horsepower to 304hp. A low end Saleen was still offered but the production numbers dropped to 243 for the low horsepower model and only 10 of the SCs were sold. Virtually nothing changed for the 1991 model year, aside from the fact that production numbers dropped again, this time to 92 of the base model Saleen Mustang, and only 10 of the SC were produced.
1992 was the lowest production numbers of any year since the creation of Saleen, due to a working restructuring during the year. There were only 17 Saleen Mustangs made and no SCs were made.
Sales numbers went back up in 1993 for the last year of the Fox body style. There were 87 Saleen Mustangs made, 5 of which were Saleen SCs and 1993 also brought about two special edition Saleen Mustangs. The SA-10 was developed to celebrate the 10 years of Saleen, which were all black with yellow hood stripes. They were custom made, making all nine of them different in some way. Also, in 1993, Steve Saleen made one special Saleen Mustang, named the RRR for Tim Allen. The car was heavily built, and has more work into it than did any other Saleen product at this point. The end result is a brutal 576 horsepower and 527 lb-ft of torque. This RRR is nothing more than a street legal race car and was very expensive to build, around $50,000. (Tim Allens Saleen RRR Front & Tim Allens Saleen RRR Signature)
1994-1998 Saleen Mustang In 1994 the Ford Mustang got a complete new look from Ford Motor Company and Steve Saleen followed by re-thinking the Saleen Mustang. There was no longer just a suspension and appearance package because all of the Saleens in 1994 received engine modifications. The lowest level Saleen Mustang was named the S-351. Instead of going the route of prior Saleen Mustangs, which used modified versions of the stock Mustang GT engine, the new 371 horsepower S-351 used a different engine from the GT measuring 351 cubic inches, while the stock GT engine in 1994 was only 302 cubic inches. The bigger news of the Saleen stable for 1994 was the SR, which also had the 351, and offered 480 horsepower. Only two SRs were built, with 44 S-351s made in 1994. There was a very small collection of V6 powered Saleens built in 1994, which received only appearance and suspension upgrades, but they did not receive the numbering or dash plates. This made it hard to differentiate from a non Saleen dressed up 1994 V6 Mustang.
The 1995 Saleen remained relatively the same as 1994 using the name Speedster. Offering a range of 371 to 480 horsepower depending on the amount of boost run and the tuning, the Saleen was becoming well known as a car you did not want to mess with on the street or track. 126 S-351s were made, and 7 SRs were made in 1995.
In 1996, another new Saleen came out of the Saleen shop, and the name of this new Saleen was the S-281. This new low-end Saleen came equipped with the standard 215 horsepower 4.6L engine found in the Mustang GTs, and this proved to be a poor mans Saleen thanks to the price. The stock horsepower of the S-351 jumped to 495 for 1996, but production of the S-351 dropped to just 20. However, with the more affordable S-281 being offered, sales numbers were way up. The S-281 was offered as either a GT or Cobra, and either a coupe or convertible. The production numbers for 1996 S-281s are as follows:
1996 Saleen Mustang S-281 Production Numbers
Coupe - 191
Cobra Coupe - 5
Convertible - 234
Cobra Convertible - 6
1997 and 1998 saw little change for the Saleen Mustang. The selections offered remained steady with the different variations of the S-281, and the rare S-351. 1998 would mark the end of the SN95 body style, and in 1998, another anniversary edition of the Saleen was offered, this one being named the SA-15. Based off of an S-281, there were only 10 made and like the SA-10, the SA-15 stands out thanks in part to their bright yellow paint scheme. Production numbers for 1997 and 1998 are as follows:
1997 Saleen Mustang S-281 Production Numbers
Coupe - 113
Cobra Coupe - 13
Convertible - 196
Cobra Convertible - 5
1997 Saleen Mustang S-351 Production Numbers
Coupe - 21
Convertible - 19
1998 Saleen Mustang S-281 Production Numbers
Coupe - 59
Cobra Coupe - 14
Convertible - 91
Cobra Convertible - 21
1998 Saleen Mustang S-351 Production Numbers
Coupe - 10
Convertible - 12
1999-2004 Saleen Mustang
In 1999 Ford Motor Company introduced a new body style called the New Edge look to the Mustang. The Saleen Mustang remained the same using the new body style. Production numbers were up with 418 Saleen Mustangs produced in 1999. The power ratings and trim lines were the same as with the SN95 body style.
2000 brought changes to the Saleen power plant wise, but were not looked as positive changes from Saleen and Mustang enthusiasts as it was the first year since 1993 where there was no S-351 offered. The S-281 was the only model offered, and with 365 horsepower. 2001 would follow the same trend, and with only the variations of the S-281 offered, sales numbers were way up. However, with the introduction of the 2002 Saleen models, horsepower junkies had their prayers answered with the release of the S-281 E (extreme). There were 54 S-281Es made, and with 425 horsepower, they were no S-351, but they were very healthy, and were a welcome entry to the Saleen lineup.
2003 was another big year for Saleen and it was commemorated with the SA-20. It was an S-281 with some minor upgrades to increase the power output to 375 horsepower, and it received some of the appearance items of the Extreme models, such as the rear wing and fascia. There were ten SA-20s made, all convertibles, and all pearl white with white 5-spoke 18 inch wheels. One of them was custom ordered with an automatic, and the rest were 5-speed manual transmissions. The S-281 and S-281E models were still offered, building 365 and 425 horsepower respectively.
2004 was similar to the 2003 year in regards to the models offered by Saleen, with the S-281 and S-281E making their returns with the same engine offerings and appearance packages. This would be the final year for the New Edge body style, and the following year would bring about a totally new platform. The production numbers by trim line were as follows:
2004 Saleen Mustang S-281 Production Numbers
Coupe - 183
Cobra Coupe - 8
Convertible - 170
Cobra Convertible - 12
2004 Saleen Mustang S-351 Production Numbers
Coupe - 19
Convertible - 26

And Other True Stories of God's Love
Miracle on Hope Hill
And Other True Stories of God's Love
Every now and then such moments are so spectacular that we can't miss them. But far more often we miss them altogether, perhaps calling our experience a stroke of good luck or taking credit for the unexpected blessing as simply "our due." However, when we truly consider these events, we discover how ever-present God is and we begin to recognize ways in which God is affirming, leading, and demonstrating his love for us.
At times his touch is one of comfort when we are hurting. It may come quietly, unexpectedly, or from the hand of someone he has moved to meet our need. Other times we may be so consumed with despair that we assume God has abandoned us. But he has not. His love is shown to us in subtle ways that we sometimes miss because we are so caught up in the complexity or misery of our circumstances.
Carol and Jennie have both contributed over the years to successful collections of stories published by Honor, Zondervan, NavPress, and others. For the first time they are collaborating, two sisters telling stories that uplift, encourage, and inspire.
Each of the forty stories is between 1000 and 1200 words in length and ends with a verse of scripture.

I''ve tried to do C25K more than once but have never even been able to complete W1D1. Even once I established a decent walking base (walk 3 miles a day 3x week) I still just always found C25K too hard. Earlier this year I worked on shorter run intervals of about 30 sec with longer rest periods (like 90sec-2min). Doing that I had finally gotten up to the ability to do intervals of running one minute, walking 2 minutes which is still not up to W1D1 but was at least an improvement and I was slowly getting closer to W1D1 of C25K. Then I got derailed by illness for 11 weeks (stomach virus then flu-like symptoms with fever for 2 weeks, asthma problems, 2 bouts of bronchitis, followed by 2 separate bouts of pneumonia). I've only recently gotten the approval from my doctor to start exercising again. I found a program that is similar in nature to C25K, but starts out much easier. Anyone interested?
I'm doing Phase 2 of the routine suggested on this webpage
This program was designed for someone who wants to do a half but the suggested interval training works for someone who just wants to do a 5k as well. It goes from running 30 seconds/walking 3 minutes (much easier than C25k) and then over 11 weeks increases to running 3 minutes/walking 1 minute. I was thinking that if I can manage to get to the last week where I'm running 3 minute intervals then from there I have options of continuing to increase the running intervals or possibly start eliminating the walk breaks or even picking up in the middle of C25K.
Is there anyone else out there who finds C25K too challenging and might be interested in a slower more gradual running increase? This week I'm doing the week of running 45 seconds/walking 3 minutes. I hope I'm not the only one who is so out of shape and finds C25K to simply be too hard.
Nope your not alone I'm thinking of backing off too! I am on day 4 of W1 c25k and it's hurting me ...I dont want to give up... so i want to start tomorrow just briskly walking 5 miles a day/ 4 days this next week. then maybe Go back to C25k and try week one tweeked to running 1 min walking 3 and going from there. I seem to beable to briskly walk 3 miles faster then i can 2miles doing the 60sec/90sec intervals of this c25k program so think it will help me loosen up some more and prepare better for the c25k program.
Just Do It, My New Motto!!
I was looking for something slower than c25k and ran across your post. Thanks for sharing. I lived most of my life without being active, and although I walk regularly, trying to run has not been easy. I'm currently walking and adding in 30 seconds of jogging here and there. Hopefully it will continue to get better. Thanks again!
Tell you what, this last week I had to take TWO days off instead of ONE in between W2D2 and W2D3 and am considering doing that again as I approach W3D1. I'm not overweight and I am LOVING the running but it is doing a number to me in various ways.
I wonder if it is "legal" if I just put an extra day off of running in there occasionally. I'll keep trying and then maybe drop back and join you-all if C25K isn't working for me. I do NOT want an injury.
Good Old Gal
I think you have to do what works for you. That's what I started doing when c25k was too tough for me. But I'm getting better, it's slow improvement, but at least I'm out there!

See the Glossary for more terms.
NIH budget planning and implementation spans a three-year cycle. Read more at NIAID Funding Opportunity Planning and the Budget Cycle. For current budget information, go to our Paylines and Funding portal.
Congress appropriates our funds. Before that happens, NIAID prepares a budget justification that goes to NIH, HHS, and OMB. It then becomes part of the Department's budget justification, which is part of the President's budget request to Congress for the next fiscal year.
As NIH is part of the executive branch of the federal government, NIH defends the President's budget before Congress during the appropriations hearings in March or April. Congress then prepares and must pass its own appropriations legislation, which the president must sign into law. Read more in NIAID Funding Opportunity Planning and the Budget Cycle.
Enacted annually, appropriations bills give federal agencies the authority to spend a defined amount of money for specified purposes.
Authorizations laws allow appropriations for a program or an agency for a year or more but do not indicate an amount of money. For more information, go to Appropriations Set the Dollars.
Earmarks require agencies to spend monies on targeted programs, which can affect their budgets. See our Glossary definition of earmark.
Find links to these committees at Budget Resolutions Lay a Foundation.
The fiscal year begins on October 1. However, Congress often does not pass an appropriations bill until later in the fall or even later. During that interim period, NIH operates under a continuing resolution. See When We Don't Get a Budget.
When Congress fails to pass an appropriations bill by the end of the fiscal year, it passes a continuing resolution to provide budget authority for federal agencies to continue operating until regular appropriations are enacted.
Minimally, because Congress usually has not yet passed NIH's appropriations bill. When a continuing resolution is in effect, we award a limited number of new grants and generally fund existing grants at a lower dollar level than the previous year. Find more information in When We Don't Get a Budget.
At the end of the fiscal year, we take down the paylines from Paylines and Funding and archive them at Archive of Final NIAID Paylines by Fiscal Year.
At the beginning of a new fiscal year, we have limited budget and financial management plan information to post on the site until NIAID receives its appropriation from Congress and our budget office formulates our new budget. NIAID often starts the fiscal year operating under an interim payline that allows us to award only a limited number of grants.
Applicants and grantees should check our Paylines and Funding page often. You can receive email notifications of fiscal year paylines if you Subscribe to Email Alerts and select the "Fiscal Year Paylines" interest category.
Because the timing varies each year, we cannot give you exact dates for posting new payline information.
Even after Congress passes the appropriations bill, it takes several weeks for the final budget levels to get to us and for our budget office to evaluate the legislation and crunch the numbers to determine the fiscal year's paylines. Other uncertainties may also delay our ability to set paylines.
To help you know what to expect, we've created Paylines and Budget Pages Change Throughout the Year. You can receive email notifications of fiscal year paylines if you Subscribe to Email Alerts and select the "Fiscal Year Paylines" interest category.
NIAID uses interim paylines as a way to award the best-scoring grants while we wait for the information we need to set our true paylines. At NIAID, we set interim paylines conservatively so we don't inadvertently exceed our future budget levels.
NIAID spends most of its funds on investigator-initiated research at organizations such as universities and nonprofit research foundations. For grants data, go to RePORT.
Go to our High-Priority Topics: Concepts and Initiatives and RFAs, PAs, and Solicitations questions and answers. Read more about the process in Planning Research Opportunities on NIAID Funding Opportunity Planning and the Budget Cycle.
Our financial management plan often includes information on inflationary increases for noncompeting grants awards. NIAID publishes its own Financial Management Plan, posted on our Paylines and Funding portal, which includes the NIH plan and other items.
Though your organization may ask for any escalation factor it wishes, we may award only up to the set amount. In some years, institutes decrease funds for noncompeting grants.
No, NIAID does not allow unjustified direct cost escalations. Here, "unjustified" is used in the sense that the cost escalation is not explained in the budget justification based on research aims. This goes for cost of living increases for all budget categories, to include personnel. You must spell out increases in the budget justification.
Here's an example of a justified out-year increase for a direct cost item: a grantee requested cost for 200 mice in year one of the grant, but the next year (year two), the grantee's plan will need 600 mice. Because the increased number of mice is based on the research aims/plan, the direct cost increase to pay for the additional mice in year two is justified.
Conversely, listing different requested costs in the application budget for the same amount of mice in year one and year two would be an unjustified direct cost escalation.
We do allow grantees to rebudget in out-years to account for pay escalation, but we will not increase committed funding.

50+: Live Better, Longer
The Importance of Being -- Married
The Benefits of Wedded Bliss
Baker's research joins a small but growing number of studies pinpointing the varied health effects of marriage. One study, for example, showed that marital stress can double a person's risk of developing diabetes. Another study, out of Sweden, showed women in marital distress had a three times greater risk of a second heart attack. And a third showed that positive marital interactions can boost immunity and reduce the risk of heart disease by keeping stress hormones low.
"The benefits are better physical health, more resistance to infection, fewer infections, and a reduced likelihood of dying from cancer, from heart disease, from all major killers," psychologist and author John Gottman, PhD, tells WebMD. "The other health benefit is longevity: People live longer if they are in marital relationships, particularly if they are in good, satisfying relationships." Gottman, considered by many to be a pioneer in the field of marriage research, is the James Mifflin Professor in the department of psychology at the University of Washington in Seattle.
"There are physical benefits and mental health benefits," says Gottman. "You have less depression, less anxiety disorders, less psychosis, less posttraumatic stress disorders, fewer phobias. You also have fewer injuries due to accidents."
"The process gets reversed when relationships dissolve," he points out. This is especially true when one spouse dies. Oftentimes the surviving partner will die of what some call the "broken-heart syndrome."
"There is a bereavement process that is really well-documented," says Gottman. "People really go through [physical] grief and they secrete [the stress hormone] cortisol, and a lot of systems really shut down. [The grieving spouses] become more vulnerable to all kinds of infectious agents; their immune systems aren't working. So a person will get something like pneumonia and die very quickly. And they also lose the will to live."
In this scenario, men are more likely to be the one who dies of broken-heart syndrome, Gottman notes. But then again, men also typically reap the greater health benefits from being married while alive.
For Guys, for Better or for Worse Is Mostly for Better
"If it is a good marriage, the benefits are equally as great for women as for men; for men, just being married confers a tremendous amount of benefits," Gottman says. "One of the major ways in which marriage confers effects is to reduce risk: Men stop engaging in risky behavior like bungee jumping and driving drunk. ... [They start] getting their health looked at on a regular basis and eating well. Single men really don't do that; they sort of fall apart.

The Lost And Found Tour: Claudia Brücken
This event has been rescheduled to 17th March.
Claudia Brücken
Coming to prominence as the lead vocalist in ZTT s influential hit-making Düsseldorf combo Propaganda, Claudia Brücken was one of the more distinctive female voices of the mid-1980s (and one of the few females to front a synth-pop group). Following the implosion of Propaganda in 1986, Claudia has enjoyed a distinguished career in the arena of electronic pop and dance music, alongside a series of highly talented collaborators, including Thomas Leer (with whom she formed the cult duo Act after leaving Propaganda), Martin Gore (Depeche Mode), Paul Humphrys (OMD, Onetwo), Paul Rutherford (Frankie Goes To Hollywood) and Andy Bell (Erasure).

I am having trouble keeping the histogram away from the sides. Even though I set to matrix and have the light meter in the middle most of the histograms are jammed up to one side or the other.
What am I doing wrong?

#1. "RE: Histogram" | In response to Reply # 0
There really isn't a "normal" histogram. What it looks like would depend upon the scene. If there are mostly dark tones, it may be more towards the left, the opposite if there are mostly light tones even with matrix metering. If you shoot RAW, keeping the histogram to the right without clipping is often recommended no matter what the scene looks like.
Are the histograms clipped or just near the sides? Show us some examples and how you metered.

Hi Bill,
I updated your post above to add the histograms for the two images.
In this case I would not worry about the histogram being pushed to the left. These are indoor shots using flash so the backgrounds are going to be dark. Your subjects are properly exposed and nothing important is lost in the shadows.
In fact lookin at the on the right side, if you had exposed brighter you may have lost some highlights. The dynamic rage of the light is greater than the camera can record. In this case it is better to sacrifice the shadows.
The right side of the histogram is usually more important than the left side. If you overexpose, histogram bumped up against the right side, there is little room for recovering those lost highlights. The shadow detail is more easily recovered, especially at low ISO.
When you have a scene like this, that has a dark background, you can use active D-Lighting to help bring up the brightness without overexposing the highlights.

Even if you're shooting raw, there isn't much you can do about how the histogram looks in post. It's best to use the histo in the camera first to judge exposure. If it doesn't look good there, then adjust the exposure.
Use the + button on the camera to zoom into the more important areas of the image and check the histogram. If it looks good at that point, don't worry about the rest. It appears the left side of the histograms you posted are for the background.

Ph.D. Student Bistra Iordanova Wins NSF Graduate Research Fellowship
Bistra Iordanova, a graduate student in the Department of Biological Sciences, received a Graduate Research Fellowship from the National Science Foundation (NSF), a prestigious award given to only 910 U.S. graduate students in 2007. The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship will provide a stipend, travel allowances and tuition for Iordanova, who is pursuing a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences, for the next three years as she completes her research in magnetic resonance (MRI) imaging in the brain.
Iordanova uses MRI to capture gene expression in real time using engineered metalloproteins. Genes coding for these metalloproteins are inserted next to the therapeutic gene of interest and their expression is displayed as dark spots on an MRI scan, leading researchers to pinpoint exactly where and when the gene was expressed. Iordanova states that this kind of research is important in developing newer kinds of gene therapies for diseases such as Parkinson's. "When you inject genes to save damaged cells, such as in those affected by Parkinson's disease, a reporter is identified that tells you if all the genes were expressed," explained Iordanova. "I hope that our novel metalloproteins can become useful reporters in the development of gene therapy."
Using the state-of-the-art MRI scanners located at the Pittsburgh Center for NMR Research, Iordanova has worked for the past year optimizing pulse sequences to capture in vivo brain images. She credits her interest in MRI research to its ability to be able to see things happening in the brain non-invasively and in real time.
Iordanova is also a member of the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition (CNBC), a joint Carnegie Mellon – University of Pittsburgh research center. Having access to the CNBC's vast resources, both imaging tools and human experts, will allow her to succeed in a field where, she admits, she has faced plenty of "raised eyebrows" when talking about her interest in a field dominated by men.
In her spare time, Iordanova, who was born in Bulgaria, performs outreach activities as a board member of the Women in Science group, setting a positive example for other female students who are interested in science. This summer, Iordanova plans on introducing MRI to students taking part in the Summer Undergraduate Research Program by developing a neuroimaging tutorial.
"We are very pleased that Bistra has been awarded this fellowship. At the end of her training she will truly be a unique, interdisciplinary scientist," said Associate Professor Eric Ahrens. Iordanova is a member of Ahrens' laboratory and is completing her thesis project under his guidance.
Also recognized by the NSF was Melissa Witzberger, a second-year Ph.D. student in Associate Professor Jonathan Minden's laboratory, who received Honorable Mention for her fellowship proposal. Witzberger's research focuses on understanding ventral furrow formation in Drosophila melanogaster, or the common fruit fly. Flaws in ventral furrow formation often result in developmental defects such as spina bifida.
In addition, four recent undergraduate alumni were awarded Honorable Mention by the NSF for their fellowship proposals. Jared Wenger, a 2006 graduate in biological sciences, and Jamie Conklin, who graduated in 2005 with a B.S. in Biological Sciences and Psychology, are now attending graduate school at Stanford University. Andreas Pfenning, who graduated in 2006 with a B.S. in Computer Science with a minor in biological sciences, is a Computational Biology and Bioinformatics Ph.D. student at Duke University's Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy. Natalie Castellana, who received a B.S. in Computer Sciences and worked in Assistant Professor Russell Schwartz's laboratory, attends University of California, San Diego, working toward a Ph.D. in Computer Science.

Don Owens, owner of Dothan Powersports in Dothan, Ala., reflects back on 2010.
"We made most of our changes necessary to weather the downturn last year. We will not be doing many things differently in 2011. We believe that 2011 will be very similar to 2010 and don't look for any significant growth. We will continue to be cautiously optimistic.
"Naturally with the decrease in total sales our bottom line's net profit margin is smaller than normal. I can thankfully say that even though our margin is down, we are still in the black. This year we have looked at each expense line and reviewed how we can improve it. We have been able to improve our expenses in a number of areas. We have cut back on travel expense for out-of-town training. We have been extremely mindful of all of our inventories, and we have ordered only what we think we can sell. We have not let the OEMs dictate our order levels. We have cut back on hours for certain employees and have even reduced salaries in most key management positions.
"Our traffic count has been down most of the year, and we are finding that credit scores of many potential customers are low, which makes it difficult to get them bought. We still depend on the help of secondary lenders for this segment. We still feel that consumers' confidence is not strong enough to convince them to make many large purchases at this time.
"We will do what we have to do to weather the storm, and we will be ready when it passes!"

By Laura Faraason, Grafenwoehr Elementary SchoolMarch 12, 2012
GRAFENWOEHR, Germany -- Grafenwoehr Elementary School students were treated to an intimate performance by the U.S. Air Force's ensemble, the "Winds Aloft" windwood quintet, here, March 6.
Children from kindergarten through fifth grade listened to the musical magical unfold and received an instrument lesson as each performer stood up and explained how their instrument was built and how it was played.
The theme "Music under the Circus Tent," struck the perfect chord with the young audience's imaginations. Students were asked to listen and imagine what various circus performers and animals might sound like when represented by certain instruments. They were all ears as they tried to picture themselves under the big top - imagining what the elephants, clowns, acrobats and even a kangaroo might sound like through beautiful pieces performed by the musicians.
The elementary students prepared for this performance weeks in advance by discussing woodwind instruments in Kristin Levison's music class. Levison taught the children how certain instruments elicit various feelings and images when listened to carefully. Additionally, she discussed the french horn which Master Sgt. Steven Schaughency played for the children. Other performers included Tech. Sgt. Avril Clayton on the flute and piccolo, Staff Sgt. Justin Hammer on the oboe, Tech. Sgt. Shannon Dolley on the B flat clarinet, and the one who impressed the children the most - Staff Sergeant Jerome Minor on the very cool large bassoon.
Levison said it really makes a big impact on the students when adults take the time to come in and perform just for them.
Music is fundamental to our children's education. Through music concepts from reading to math to the sciences are explored and enhanced, she added.
The band's visit was part of the Music in Our Schools program, sponsored by Department of Defense Dependents Schools.

So, here is my entry for the contest.
Not entirely finished, but it's a good step ahead in the right direction.
At first i wanted to build a submarine, but the lack of inspiration was hurting my build time.
So, i decided to build a floating crane. I have seen a lot of them in the harbor of Rotterdam and thought it would be fun to make one of those. Still, i have some problems to find a solution for.
Anyway, Pics!

I don't have the panels at the moment, so i think i will leave it open.
Thanks for the comments so far. I'm currently trying to fix all the functions, which is not easy. The wiring of this is giving me a headache

A key aspect of such monitoring programs is the assessment of the atmospheric mixing state (or "stability"). Whether these facilities are in dense urban areas, or surrounded by heavily vegetated exclusion zones, local roughness heterogeneity can hamper attempts to accurately categorise stability by conventional meteorological techniques. Based on an analysis of 8 months of hourly climatology and atmospheric radon observations from a 60 m tower at the IFIN-HH nuclear research facility (Bucharest, Romania), we develop and apply a continuous (i.e. not categorical) radon-based scheme for the classification of the nocturnal atmospheric stability state. We demonstrate the superior performance of the radon-based technique to Pasquill-Gifford or bulk Richardson number stability typing at this site where heterogeneous roughness elements reach to 15 m a.g.l. Under stable nocturnal conditions the Pasquill-Gifford scheme overestimates the atmosphere's capacity to dilute pollutants with near-surface sources by 20% compared to the radon-based scheme. Under these conditions, near-surface wind speeds drop well below 1 m s-1 and nocturnal mixing depths vary from ~25 m to less than 10 m a.g.l. Climatological parameters are characterised by season and 4 arbitrarily-defined nocturnal stability categories. Benchmarks (based on 10/50/90th percentile distributions) of 30-60 m wind and temperature gradients are devised for each stability category for evaluation of model performance. Lastly, nocturnal radon-derived effective mixing depth estimates constrained by tower observations are used to better-constrain the seasonal variability in the Bucharest regional radon flux: 13 mBq m-2 s-1 (winter), 18 mBq m-2 s-1 (summer). 2016-05-08T14:00:00Z Speculation on the origin of sub-baseline excursions of CH4 at Cape Grim Loh, ZM Krummel, PB Gregory, RL Steele, LP Stavert, AR Schoot, MVVD Spencer, DA Mitrevski, B Thornton, DP Galbally, IE Ward, JZ Somerville, NT Chambers, SD Williams, AG http://apo.ansto.gov.au/dspace/handle/10238/6926 2016-06-07T06:30:03Z 2015-12-31T13:00:00Z Title: Speculation on the origin of sub-baseline excursions of CH4 at Cape Grim Authors: Loh, ZM; Krummel, PB; Gregory, RL; Steele, LP; Stavert, AR; Schoot, MVVD; Spencer, DA; Mitrevski, B; Thornton, DP; Galbally, IE; Ward, JZ; Somerville, NT; Chambers, SD; Williams, AG Abstract: The Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment (AGAGE) program has historically measured in situ methane (CH4 ) at Cape Grim via gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC-FID) in 40 minutely grab samples. By adding continuous, high precision in situ measurements of CH4 (Picarro cavity ring-down spectroscopy [CRDS]) at both Cape Grim, Tasmania, and Casey, Antarctica, a new feature has become apparent in the Cape Grim CH4 record. During the austral summer (December to February), the Cape Grim CH4 record periodically drops below baseline. For example, in Figure 1, a number of sustained episodes of depressed CH4 concentration can be seen below the baseline selected data shown in red. Notably, these episodes are also seen in the GC-FID record. In this presentation, we examine these sub-baseline excursions of CH4 . In conjunction with meteorology and a variety of other chemical species measured at Cape Grim, including radon, ozone, hydrogen and ethane, we speculate on a number of possible mechanisms that might be responsible for these dips in CH4 mixing ratio. 2015-12-31T13:00:00Z Late Quaternary changes in the westerly winds over the Southern Ocean – a progress report Hodgson, D Roberts, S Perren, B Saunders, K Verleyen, E van Nieuwenhuyze, W Vyverman, W Sime, L http://apo.ansto.gov.au/dspace/handle/10238/6918 2016-06-07T00:06:37Z 2016-01-17T13:00:00Z Title: Late Quaternary changes in the westerly winds over the Southern Ocean – a progress report Authors: Hodgson, D; Roberts, S; Perren, B; Saunders, K; Verleyen, E; van Nieuwenhuyze, W; Vyverman, W; Sime, L Abstract: The Southern Hemisphere westerly winds (SHW) are the strongest time-averaged oceanic winds. They drive the circulation of the Southern Ocean and changes in their strength and position are thought to modify the upwelling of carbon rich deep water, exerting significant control on the ocean-atmosphere balance of CO2. Thus changes in the SHW, such as the recently observed intensification, could influence whether the Southern Ocean acts as a net source or sink of atmospheric CO2, with major implications for global climate. At present the relationships between wind strength, CO2 and climate are poorly understood and there are very few studies within the core belt of the SHW in the sub-Antarctic zone c.46 to 60 deg South. We have been attempting to address this by producing centennial to decadal reconstructions of changes in SHW strength at sub-Antarctic islands in each of the major sectors of the Southern Ocean. In this talk we will show how lake sediments and peat deposits on the west coasts of these islands can yield proxy-based reconstructions of past changes in the SHW. We will review the statistical performance of our inference models, their application down selected sediment cores, and compare them with complimentary proxies of changes in wind strength based on precipitation and minerogenic inputs. The next phase of the project will use GCM simulations to help understand the patterns seen in the observational data and identify the drivers of past changes in the SHW. 2016-01-17T13:00:00Z
