Cold And Snow Will Make A Comeback This Winter
By Art Horn
Last winter's weather was a nice break for Americans. After a series of severe winters, last year's winter weather was unusually mild with much less snow than has fallen on North America during the last five years. With gasoline prices staying consistently high, the mild weather of last winter helped Americans pay a little less for energy during this prolonged economic slump. One year ago the average price of a gallon of gasoline in the United States was $3.47, today it is around $3.69 per gallon, an increase of 22 cents. Diesel fuel is around $4.12 per gallon or 29 cents higher than one year ago. Will we be as lucky with the winter weather this year as last? Probably not.
Winters in the United States are getting colder and snowier. In fact over the last 15 years, winters (December, January and February) in United States have been getting colder at a rate of -1.99 degrees Fahrenheit since 1998. Why pick 1998 as the year to begin measuring this rapid decline in United States winter temperature? The reason is that up until 1998 winters in the United States had been warming at the rate of +1.92 degrees per decade since 1977. That two decade warming of US winters peaked in 1998. The year 1977 marked the approximate start of the warm phase of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO). This roughly 20 to 30 year long warming and cooling of the Pacific Ocean has strong linkage to 20 to 30 year long warming and cooling periods of earth's global average temperature. The PDO had been in its cool phase since the middle 1940s. In 1977 it shifted into the warm phase and at that point, United States winter started warming. There is evidence that the PDO has shifted back into the cool phase. In fact it appears this shift took place around 1998.
As a result of this shift our winters have begun to cool and snowfall has been increasing. The winters of 2008 to 2011 were the four snowiest consecutive winters in the last 45 years in North America. Some tried to blame the record breaking Mid-Atlantic snows of these winters on global warming. These assumptions were made with no mention of the natural climate cycles inspired by the shifts in the PDO. The fact is that the downward trend in temperature and the upward trend in snowfall were even greater prior to last winter. If we exclude last winter and look at the trend in the US since 1998, winters were getting colder at the almost unsustainable rate of -3.20 degrees per decade. Last winter was a good example of how large natural variability is. What I mean by natural variability is the tendency of the atmosphere to swing back and forth from year to year within a general trend. The result of this variability is that what happened last winter is no indication of what will happen this winter.
So what does all of this mean for winter 2012/13? It is likely that the long term trends in United States temperature and snowfall will resume the path they were on prior to last winter. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) uses El Nino (warmer water) and La Nina (cooler water) events in the Pacific Ocean as guides, along with other atmospheric phenomena, to make their winter forecasts. There were indications that an El Nino was going to develop this fall and have a significant impact on this winters weather. That El Nino has failed to live up to its billing and may not happen at all. It is typical that during the cool phase of the PDO that there are fewer and weaker El Nino events. This has caused confusion at NOAA so that they have basically thrown in the towel with respect to the forecast temperature for the central and eastern part of the nation this winter.
Without El Nino or La Nina this winter it appears that a return to the longer term trend dictated by the shift of the PDO into its cooler phase will dominate this winter in the United States. With world tensions and gas prices high a cold and snowy winter will add significantly to Americans economic plight this winter. One interesting bit of speculation on my part is that nature tends to swing the pendulum back and forth. With such a mild winter last year during an overall downward trend in temperature, is it possible the temperature and snowfall pendulum could swing the other way this winter? Only time will tell but in any event don't expect a repeat of last winter.

If you've followed enough blogs in your day, you're likely familiar with the common "here's a list of random Google search terms that have led readers to my site" post.
Depending on my mood (and level of intoxication, maybe), I tend to either hate or love these pieces. But I usually get a kick out of them either way, because OMG — we live in a world where Internet users search for some sick, twisted shit.
Most Google search terms that lead folks to The N!colas Blog are either nipple-related (because this), getting-called-fat-related (because this), or OkCupid-related (because this, this, and this, probably). But aside from all of those, here are five of the most bizarre searches to have ever brought folks here — followed, of course, by my personal reactions. Please take a deep breath (and ideally, a shot of something) before reading, because shit's about to get weird.
how i became a mermaid sex toy
First of all, what? Isn't everything below the waist of a mermaid just closed off and fish-like? Do fish have vaginas? Did Ariel masturbate? If so, how many times per day? And was Flounder involved? What about Sebastian? And I'm sorry, but if you have a fish and a lobster helping you out, can you really still call it masturbating at that point? Let's be honest, if mermaids have vaginas, then Ariel was a sea-slut. It would certainly help explain Ursula's jealousy, as it didn't seem like she ever got laid — not even by those weird goblin-fish things that were floating around during "Poor Unfortunate Souls." She probably gave Ariel legs purely so there'd be less competition under the sea. Or, actually, wait — am I misinterpreting the term "mermaid sex toy" altogether? Did you mean a sex toy for a mermaid, or a sex toy made to resemble a mermaid? The second one? Wow. Now I just feel stupid for jumping to conclusions and slut-shaming a Disney princess.
why do i get emotional meltdowns when drunk
Is it that you're getting them? Or that you're having them? Because if it's the former, then IDK dude. If it's the latter, then, well, it's because you're drunk.
someone has a firm grip on my balls
You're going to need to be more specific. Do you know this person? Is he or she a stranger? Are we talking over-the-pants, or like, hand-to-scrotum? (LOL scrotum.) Do you feel violated? Show me on the doll.
what does the funeral home do with the blood
You nosy, self-absorbed bastard. Someone just DIED, and here comes you trying to find out what became of their blood! Have some decorum. Wait. Are you a vampire? Are you Bill from True Blood? Can we date?
i accidentally fucked a dude…and im a guy
Are you being honest with yourself? Because I just… like… how was it an accident? Or, actually, you know what? Never mind. I forgot about that one time I accidentally ate an entire cheesecake and accidentally watched five hours' worth of gay porn while accidentally pressing "pause" every twenty minutes to accidentally check Lady GaGa's Twitter feed. Also, that one time I accidentally created a blog with the kind of content that somehow managed to come up as a Google search result for "i accidentally fucked a dude." I'll just assume this was a similar situation.

Finally, for Foreign Law Firms, a Passage to India?
Last April, we blogged a story from the Economist, entitled "Legally Barred," about how the Indian Advocates Act of 1961 prevents foreign law firms from doing business in India, the most populous democracy in the world.
That could be changing. Last month, the Times of India reported that the newly-enacted Limited Liability Partnership Act could mean that foreign firms can set up shop in India.
Union law minister H R Bhardwaj, who's been advocating the entry of overseas law firms into India, asked top India law firms to "stop opposing" the opening up of the legal sector and to instead "benefit from it". He said: "Whether you like it or not the legal services will only go global and if you (the Indian law firms) do not allow overseas law firms to come in, you will be looked upon with suspicion."
For the salient features of the act, see this blog post from Practice Source.

The Lake Isle of Innisfree
by William Butler Yeats
The Lake Isle of Innisfree Man and the Natural World Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #1
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee; (3)
This is the first of many signs that the speaker wants to embrace the natural world when he reaches Innisfree. But note that the natural world he seeks is still cultivated. It still has the mark of humans—with those bean rows and that honey.
Quote #2
And live alone in the bee-loud glade. (4)
The speaker doesn't want the company of humans, but he seems pretty psyched about the bees. Maybe it's because they don't talk back.
Quote #3
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; (6)
Here's the first instance where the speaker equates nature with peacefulness. It's a lovely image, sure, but it also points to the amount of activity that still goes on in nature. It's not silent and still—there are bees and crickets, and all kinds of other creatures, too.

Commissioners offer 2050 "carrot" to developers
Published: Wednesday, June 5, 2013 at 5:40 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 5, 2013 at 5:40 p.m.
SARASOTA COUNTY - County commissioners say they need to offer "a carrot" to get developers to use the county's Sarasota 2050 plan.
Nearly a decade after the county adopted the plan calling for villages as an alternative to sprawling subdivisions east of Interstate 75, not a single village has been built there.
Although the recession may have been a factor, county commissioners think a strategic part of 2050 intended to get developers the density they need to build a village of clustered housing may also be a reason: the transfer of development rights.
Villages east of Interstate 75 would be on lands zoned now for one home per five or more acres. To get several more homes per acre to create a village, developers would transfer development rights off other private land the county would prefer to see preserved as greenways. If they cannot get enough development rights off their own land, they can buy development rights from other property owners.
But no such transfers have happened.
The county commissioners will see if they can help potential 2050 developers get those housing densities for a village by selling development rights off lands the county has already bought for conservation.
On Wednesday, they decided to establish "a pilot program" by offering to sell the development rights for 635 homes off the county's Deer Prairie Creek property.
It will set the price of each development right as 10 percent of the median sales price of a home in Sarasota County during the busiest month of the previous year. Palm Beach County uses that pricing method for a similar TDR program there.
For Sarasota County, the TDR price would be $17,850.
As "a carrot," the first 100 development rights would be offered at a discount of $4,500, County Commissioner Joe Barbetta suggested.
"I'm trying to figure out the market demand," Barbetta said.
If buyers jump at $4,500, the county can raise the price for the remaining units, he noted.
"There's no perfect number here," Commissioner Charles Hines said. "If we sell the first 100 too low, we'll adjust it."
If the rights do not sell, even at a discount, the commissioners will have to reconsider the idea as they proceed with an ongoing review of 2050 and developers' complaints about it.
Environmentalists Jono Miller and Wade Matthews said the commissioners should have conducted a public hearing about the TDR idea before coming to a decision.
"I'm concerned about the reputation of the county's environmental lands program," Matthews said.
When voters approved a special property tax for the purchase of conservation lands several years ago, they presumed the development rights were "extinguished" on the purchased properties, Matthews said.
The county has 7,809 development rights on conservation lands that could be readily available for a TDR sales program. That number could be as high as 19,941 if land the county jointly bought with the state and water management district and conservation easements the county has on private lands can be included.

Offensive line starts slowly [9:16 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'The starters played fairly well for the most part. Bledsoe had mostly good protection on his 11 throws and left the game in one piece. The run blocking still needs work, as expected. Although the running backs had a few good gains, the Bills finished with just 50 yards on 15 attempts.'
For campers, tailgate parties at Bills' games last a weekend [9:15 AM]

Bledsoe gives Bills a reason to believe [5:57 AM]

Based on a Drew story [5:52 AM]
Toronto Sun reports: '"He knew he had a limited amount of time and he never was flustered," Bills coach Gregg Williams said. "He did a good job with the team on the sideline and a good job with the team in the huddle. His presence was felt from the moment he stepped in the stadium."'
Bengals 24, Bills 17 [5:38 AM]
Cincinnati Enquirer reports: 'The Bengals outgained the Bills 371-228 yards and achieved the balance they like. They had 190 yards passing and 181 yards rushing, including an even 100 by second-year back Rudi Johnson. Johnson averaged 7.1 yards on 14 carries.'

Kitna, Frerotte about even in QB battle [5:33 AM]
Columbus Dispatch reports: 'The reason Cincinnati trailed at halftime was because Buffalo quarterback Drew Bledsoe outplayed all three of his Bengals counterparts. Although he threw an interception, Bledsoe was laser-sharp in completing 9 of 11 passes for 136 yards with two TDs. He found Eric Moulds from 31 yards and Peerless Price from 12 yards for scores.'

BuffaloBills.com reports: Quotes from Bledsoe, Gregg Williams, Mike Williams, London Fletcher, etc...
Bledsoe not perfect, but pretty good in Bills [10:58 PM]
ESPN reports: 'If you'd like to see the glass as half full, consider Bledsoe's perfect opening drive and his 9-for-11, 136-yard, 2-touchdown evening. If you're the glass-half-empty sort, you'll dwell on that interception and the two sacks of Bledsoe, who can still be described as statuesque.'
Bledsoe Has Productive Debut With Bills [10:57 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: QB Drew Bledsoe was 9-for-11 for 136 yards with two touchdown passes in his debut with the Buffalo Bills. His 31-yard TD pass to Eric Moulds just 3:34 after the opening kickoff put the Bills ahead, 7-0.
Shaw Comes Bearing Gifts - Hall of Famer Donates Mementos from Career [3:09 PM]
Pro Hall of Fame reports: Billy Shaw, the only member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame to play his entire career in the AFL (1960's incarnation), was one of nearly sixty enshrinees on hand for the 2002 Enshrinement Celebration. He arrived in town and as he sat in the museum's front office, it was the contents of his duffel bag that made his visit extra special. Many people have been in pursuit of those items ever since the former Buffalo Bills' all-league guard was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1999. Included in the bag were the only pieces from his playing days that he still owned. They included three Buffalo Bills jerseys, an AFL All-Star jersey, his helmet, and shoes.
Bengals may use Bledsoe�s rejection against him [1:49 PM]
Dayton Daily News reports: 'Asked if Bledsoe's presence gives the Bengals incentive to beat the Bills, Brown didn't hesitate. "It would be in my mind," he said. "I don't know if the players will think much one way or the other, but I don't know if I'll have forgotten."'
Anderson: Bledsoe�s snub no issue today [1:47 PM]
Dayton Daily News reports: 'Anderson said the Bledsoe controversy is "something I think for management to kind of get hot about, for reporters to write about and for fans to say, �We all hate Drew Bledsoe.� Last year's game against Baltimore was not about Elvis Grbac and this game is not going to be about Drew Bledsoe."'
Bills install new security procedures [1:39 PM]

Pilots suffer minor injuries in experimental airplane mishaps in Ramona, Valley Center on Sunday
By Maureen Robertson
Emergency crews responded to two experimental airplane mishaps in the area Sunday morning, one in Ramona and one in Valley Center.
The first incident occurred at Ramona Airport at 8:30 a.m., reported CalFire Battalion Chief Nick Schuler. The pilot, a Florida man, was doing touch-and-goes when the Midget Mustang he had recently purchased went off the south side of the runway about midfield, slammed into the mud and flipped over onto its top, said Ramona Airport Manager Bo Donovan.
The pilot suffered minor injuries that included cuts and scratches and a bruise on his left thigh. He was examined by paramedics and chose not to go to the hospital, said Donovan. The plane had major damage.
The pilot reported that, as he was doing the touch-and-goes, he heard a loud noise, checked the aircraft's controls and maneuvers, and everything seemed fine as he came in for a landing. Some kind of mechanical failure apparently prevented the pilot from controlling the aircraft, and it went left off the runway, said Donovan.
The pilot was trapped in the plane for a short time, said Donovan, adding that sheriff's deputies and others in the area helped him out.
According to Schuler, the second mishap occurred at 11:50 a.m. at the east end of Lake Wohlford Road in Valley Center. The aircraft had a hard landing, resulting in the pilot receiving minor injuries. He was taken to Palomar Medical Center.
The cause of the accident is being investigated, said Schuler.

Comments about Foot Traffic Premium Cotton Legging:
I bought these a week ago, and have worn them everyday. I admit it. I have fished them out of the hamper. They are very comfortable, and do not loose stretch. Breathable and soft.
They are not completely opaque, and I wouldn't wear them without something my backside.
Because there is no inseam, so will not have the problem I have with most leggings splitting there.
They do pick up lint easily.
I am 5'8", 160 lbs, and they go all the way to my ankles.

Q:How is the opacity on these?Asked on 12/5/2013 by Senchi from Tucson AZ
1 answer
A:It really depends on the legs wearing them. They're very stretchy, so if you're on the upper end of the sizing range in either height or weight, you're likely to see a bit of skin color peeking through. If you're on the smaller end of things, they'll probably be mostly opaque, but not to the extent that one would want to wear them as pants.Answered on 12/5/2013 by rosalind from Sock Dreams HQ

Post subject: 1st pregnancy and baby has not engaged - really worried!!!!!
Hi, I am 39+4 weeks pregnant with my first baby. The baby's head has not engaged and has been sitting on the brim since 34 weeks! I am really afraid that I will end up having to have a C-section and really do not want this. I have planned to have my baby at home and have really set my heart on it Can anyone tell me if this is something that has happened to them before. Any advice is welcomed! I have spoken to my midwife who said all I can do is wait until I go into labour so that the contractions could push the baby's head down if not they will go from there I know this is something I just have to deal with but I would really like to hear from you guy's and see if anyone else has gone through this before and had a normal labour or maybe know a friend who has gone through a similar situation.
Sorry for going on xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Post subject: baby
Hi ! ,
I'm 37+3. My friend had herbaby on Tuesady although her waters actually broke on sunday morning. When she had visited her midwife on the friday, only 2 days before her waters broke naturaly, the midwife would not do a membrane sweep even though she was technically 1 day over her due date as the babys head had not engadged. My friend was really upset as she had been really uncomfy for ages and thought that if the head was not engadged then it meant the baby was going to be really late. Apparently the baby's head can engage as late as actually being in labour. This is my first so i am not talking from my own personal experience just that of a friend who has recently gone through it. I hope that this reassures you a little. ( my babys head is only 3/5th's - i'm not entirly sure what this means, but he is not engadged )

hi irish mammy,
i really would not worry about it at all. ideally yes it would be better if a babies head is engaged before a woman goes into labout. this is because the pressure of baby on the cervix helps it to dilate although if the babys head is not there then things can take a while longer.

A country star's bringing the mullet back—and it ain't Billy Ray Cyrus.
Jason Aldean takes a trip back to the '90s in the new music video for his latest single, "1994," [1] and he takes the trip with a whole bunch of his country star friends.
Dierks Bentley, Lady Antebellum, Luke Bryan, Nashville star Hayden Panettiere, Florida Georgia Line, Little Big Town, Thomas Rhett and Jake Owen hop into the "Diffie-izer," a video booth that takes them back to Joe Diffie's heyday.
The video also stars a Joe Dirt look-alike, several souped-up cars and some wacky dance moves that'll take you back about 20 years or so. Check it out below.

Dr. Farouc Jaffer graduated from Stanford University in 1990 with a B.S. in Mathematical and Computational Sciences, and received in MD and PhD in Biophysics from the University of Pennsylvania of Medicine in 1996. He completed a residency in internal medicine at the Brigham and Women's Hospital followed by a fellowship in cardiovascular medicine and interventional cardiology at Massachusetts General Hospital. In 2003, he joined the Cardiology Division and CMIR as faculty.
He is an Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and an Attending Interventional Cardiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Jaffer is also a Principal Investigator in the MGH Cardiovascular Research Center where his experimental laboratory develops novel molecular imaging approaches to image inflammation in atherosclerosis and venous thrombosis. His goal is to develop new translatable imaging echnology that could help predict and prevent heart attacks and strokes.
Dr. Jaffer is the Medical Director of Coronary Artery Disease Program at Massachusetts General Hospital. He specializes in the interventional treatment of coronary artery disease.
Dr. Jaffer is also the Co-Director of the Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) PCI Intervention Program at Massachusetts Gneral Hospital. This unique center offers interventional options to treat patients limited by angina from CTO arteries, the hardest subset of blockages in interventional cardiology. Many patients who were told no options were available have been successfully treated with CTO PCI strategies, and have marked reductions in angina, chest pain, and shortness of breath with exertion.
Research & Publications
- Research Summary
We are developing new approaches to image high-risk plaques (narrowings, blockages) that cause myocardial infarction (heart attacks). Imaging of high-risk ("vulnerable") coronary plaques could ultimately help prevent heart attacks from occurring.
Specifically, we are developing new intravascular optical (near-infrared fluorescence) imaging catheters to visualize inflammation in plaques. Inflammation is a key driver of plaque ruptures and heart attacks. Novel molecular imaging catheters are undergoing bench and experimental testing. Our goal is to translate these technologies to patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), with the goal of identifying inflamed high-rsk plaques. Eventually identifying these plaques may allow us to pre-emptively treat then prior to rupture and heart attack.

Doctor's View on Congestive Heart Failure Treatment
Comment by Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
Congestive heart failure treatment
The treatment of congestive heart failure is complex and involves an interaction among lifestyle modifications, medications, and in some cases, electric or mechanical devices to assist the heart.
Congestive heart failure lifestyle changes
The most important lifestyle changes recommended for people with CHF is the restriction of dietary sodium and fluid. Patients with CHF often have excess fluid and overconsumption of sodium and fluid only worsen this condition. Most doctors recommend that no more than 2 grams of sodium be consumed each day by those with CHF and fluid intake is typically restricted to about 2 quarts a day.
Congestive heart failure medications
A wide variety of medications are used in CHF with different treatment goals. ACE inhibitors are a class of drugs that are used in most people with CHF and they have been effectively shown to relieve symptoms and prolong survival. Beta blockers may improve function in some patients who are already taking ACE inhibitors. Digoxin, which stimulates contraction of the heart muscle, has been used for many years to manage CHF. Diuretics can be useful in controlling fluid levels and preventing swelling of the legs.

I just found two large freezer bags full of leftover Christmas ham. One dish I always enjoy eating when we have an over-abundance of ham is Scalloped Potatoes and Ham. Over the years I've used low-fat and high-fat dairy products when making this, and have settled on Half & Half, or light cream, as my first choice. But I can be easily swayed in that choice. If I see a carton of heavy cream peeking out at me in my fridge, I am likely to pour a little of that into the mix. Face it... FAT tastes good !
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
SCALLOPED POTATOES and HAM
• 2 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and very thinly sliced
• 1/2 to 3/4 pound sliced or cubed ham
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup, more or less, freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cups, and possibly more, Half & Half (light cream)
1. Preheat oven to 375˚F.
2. Butter a baking dish and place a layer of the thinly sliced potatoes on the bottom. Sprinkle the potatoes with some of the salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese. In a bowl, combine the onions with the minced garlic and scatter 1 to 2 tablespoons of the mixture over the potatoes, then layer some of the ham. All of the amounts are approximations and you can add more or less to your liking. Continue to layer, ending with the potatoes and a sprinkling of Parmesan. Pour the Half & Half into the dish so that it can just be seen between the top slices of the potatoes.
3. Cover with aluminum foil and bake on the middle rack of the oven for 30 minutes; remove foil and continue to bake another 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is browned.

Parts of this great country are already deep into summer but here in Vermont spring always takes it's time.
Sure, the forsythia bushes have been gorgeous and now the tulips and daffodils are in wonderful displays wherever you go … but we gardeners are anxious and eager to get into the business of planting. It's safe to plant some things, like pansies and lettuce but the serious flowers and veggies must wait. Though it may get into the 70's during the day … the nights still dip into the 30's.
This is a period of intense anticipation. We have hope for the flowers, the veggies, and the days in the sun, trips kayaking or swimming. But this is a time of waiting, not forever but long enough to feel the intensity of hope and new life bursting at the seams.
Sometimes I'm biting at the bit to go somewhere, do something or even to wait for a dark night to pass knowing that the time will come … but in my spirit I'm already well on my way, hardly willing to wait for reality to catch up with me.
There is a song about a butterfly and how the writer found a chrysalis and the butterfly was just beginning to break through. He warmed it up with his breath to assist the butterfly but in the end, its wings were not strong enough to fly. It needed the pushing and forcing the chrysalis open in order to strengthen its wings.
It's important to learn from these creative pauses. I need to learn to tolerate the hope and expectations while doing nothing else but experiencing the intensity of waiting versus doing. Even this is a way of bearing fruit; one that is especially difficult at this time of year.
We must learn to tolerate hope, not pushing since we cannot force time to pass. May we appreciate the feeling of new life forming before we are too busy doing for us to understand the value of waiting.

July 1 Update: The preliminary National Weather Service monthly climate data report confirms the Washington June average temperature of 78.8°, tied for third hottest.
Original post:
Following last year's all-time hottest June, this month is closing out tied for third hottest in Washington, DC. Preliminary National Weather Service data analyzed by CapitalClimate indicates that the June 2011 average temperature of 78.8° is tied with 1943 as the third hottest June in temperature records which began 140 years ago in 1871. (Depending on rounding, the final figure may be 78.7°.)
Two out of the top 3 hottest Junes, and 3 of the top 6, have been in the last 4 years (2008, 2010, and 2011). Only 1 of the top 5 has occurred prior to 1981.
The high temperature for the month of 102° tied the all-time June temperature record. There were 10 days with temperatures of 90° or higher. Only 1 day failed to reach 80° (78° on the 14th).

Based on publicly available data from 2015, the report revealed the amount and the share of international passenger travel by rail is much greater than currently realized with plenty of future opportunity.
Royal HaskoningDHV was victorious at last night's CESA Aon Engineering Excellence Awards cleaning up in the Projects categories with 3 awards and their Young Professionals won the award for the Job Shadow Competition.
Royal HaskoningDHV reports a strongly improved profitability in H1 2016. The company realized an organic growth of 2%, however currency effects led to a decrease in operating income. Recurring operating margin is moving in the right direction at 3.6%.
Royal HaskoningDHV has been appointed by Irish Water to the Ringsend Wastewater Treatment Plant project team to provide expertise on its sustainable wastewater reduction treatment technology, Nereda®.

(10-30) 16:34 PDT SAN RAFAEL - California's new procedures for lethal injections are invalid because they were never submitted to the public for comment or reviewed by the office that approves all state regulations, a Marin County judge said today in a tentative ruling that could prolong the state's moratorium on executions.
Superior Court Judge Lynn O'Malley Taylor agreed with lawyers for two condemned prisoners that the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation was enacting a regulation when it announced new procedures in May for lethal injections at San Quentin State Prison.
Under state law, an agency that adopts a new regulation must first publish the text, invite public comments, hold a hearing if a member of the public requests one, and submit the final draft to the Office of Administrative Law, which decides whether the proposed rule was legally authorized.
The Corrections Department has never gone through that process with new execution procedures, saying they are not regulations because they apply only to a limited group of inmates at a single prison. Taylor disagreed.
"The undisputed evidence establishes that (the execution protocol) is a rule or regulation of general application," said Taylor, a retired judge sitting by special assignment in the court. The protocol, she said, "implements a statewide policy on lethal injections for condemned inmates," prescribes duties for state officials outside San Quentin and applies to prisoners at other institutions.
The 667 condemned inmates in California include 15 women at the Central California Women's Facility in Chowchilla (Madera County) who, if their appeals fail, will be executed at San Quentin. Some of the male inmates are being held in medical institutions or, in the case of one of the Marin County plaintiffs, a prison in another state where he has also been sentenced to death.
The state will contest Taylor's preliminary decision at a hearing Wednesday in San Rafael.
Taylor said the new procedures cannot be legally implemented until they go through the regulatory process, including public input. Her ruling, if it stands, poses a new obstacle to California's beleaguered capital punishment system.
No one has been executed in California since January 2006. The following month, U.S. District Judge Jeremy Fogel blocked the execution of Michael Morales of Stockton, convicted of raping and murdering 17-year-old Terri Winchell in a vineyard near Lodi in 1981.
Fogel said records of past executions convinced him there was a risk that a sedation drug would not work and that Morales would be conscious, paralyzed and in agony while dying.
After hearing testimony from medical experts and execution witnesses, Fogel issued another ruling last December saying he would find that California's lethal injections - carried out by a poorly trained and supervised prison staff, in dimly lit and chaotic conditions - violated the constitutional ban on cruel and unusual punishment unless the state overhauled the execution process.
The state responded by changing the drug doses, promising improvements in staff selection and training and building a new execution chamber, which Fogel is scheduled to visit in advance of a hearing Dec. 10-11 in his San Jose court.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Supreme Court is preparing to review a similar case from Kentucky that could lead to changes in execution methods in virtually every state with a death penalty law, including California.
The Marin County suit was filed in April 2006 by Morales, now 48, and Mitchell Sims, 47, who has been sentenced to death in California and South Carolina for murdering employees of Domino's Pizza in both states. He once worked at the pizza chain.
Both men have unsuccessfully appealed their convictions and death sentences.

Sticking up for Jasper race killer
I told one of my bosses this week that if our editorial board is indeed anti-death penalty, we would have found a way to say that we oppose the execution out of the ghastly dragging death of James Byrd Jr. of Jasper (above). Lawrence Russell Brewer (below right) one of the three killers, was put to death for that crime on Wednesday.
Brewer was convicted for his participation in chaining Byrd to the back of a pickup truck, dragging the black man along a rural East Texas road and dumping what was left of his shredded body outside a black church cemetery in 1998.
We didn't write about the execution, and my editor, Michael Landauer, can explain why. I don't want to misstate or give the impression it was a bad decision or that I disagreed. I was testing the waters.
Going back several days, the scheduled Brewer execution affected my thinking on whether we should editorialize on the celebrated Troy Davis execution out of Georgia, focus of a media cyclone. Proof that it was a big deal: Michael Moore called for a boycott of Georgia.
How could this newspaper comment on Troy Davis and overlook an execution in one of the nation's most sensation crimes in recent years — one that was right here in Texas? And if we objected in print to the Brewer execution, how would we frame the editorial to be persuasive to a readership that, I believe, is just as supportive of the death penalty as the state at large?
The best way to have written it was on principle — that we believe the justice system isn't airtight and never will be, and so the state shouldn't impose an irrevocable punishment.
What about a murder that was committed in broad daylight and witnessed by a bus load of nuns? We'd say there will always be gradations in the quality of proof, from certainty over to doubt, and the state should not be in the business of judging what's an acceptable risk in life-or-death situations.
We'd have to make clear that this is a bad dude. The Houston Chronicle's story pointed out Brewer's lack of remorse.
That makes it rough to spare his life. But it's interesting that the victim's son opposed the execution on the grounds that it doesn't accomplish anything. He was quoted by Reuters:
"You can't fight murder with murder," Ross Byrd, 32, told Reuters late Tuesday, the night before Wednesday's scheduled execution … .
"Life in prison would have been fine. I know he can't hurt my daddy anymore. I wish the state would take in mind that this isn't what we want."
Actually, some Bryrd family members (below at left) attended the execution and said it was justice for the victim.
There was one familiar protestor in Huntsville, commedian/activist Dick Gregory, who stood on principle. From the Chronicle:
"Any state killing is wrong," he said. "If Adolf Hitler were to be executed, I would be here to protest … I believe life in prison is punishment. Execution is revenge."
Any of these arguments would have been incorporated into an editorial.
Other ideas come from the Texas Moratorium Network, which mentioned the Brewer execution briefly and included the statement (again on principle):
Call Governor Perry to register your opposition to executions 512 463 2000.
Finally, here's a way to address the execution and engage readers: Ask a question. From the Beaumont Enterprise:
Who was right: Byrd's family or the State of Texas?

A singer, song writer raised in Harlan County is trying to take his lyrics to the big screen.
Actors and directors came from out of town to help take his dream one step further by trying to turn "Stand Like A Mountain" into a movie.
Writer Terry Muncy says it's about real life, being faced with adversity and learning how to overcome it. "The opening scene in the movie is about the death of innocence as a little boy, he sees a brutal act committed by another boy and it kind of sticks with him all of his life."
Writers, directors and actors came together this weekend to film the trailer, hoping to get financial support for the movie.
Scott Blanton, from Harlan County and an actor says, "I think a lot of them will be able to see themselves in it and the ones who don't will probably recognize a friend or relative in it, the actors are portraying."
Muncy says it's a script written based off his own love for Harlan County and many of the scenes will reflect some of his own memories. "It's about how I love Appalachia, how it's a beautiful inspiring place to me because it's where I grew up."
The artists say the movie is about being able to push through when times get tough and they hope this will help inspire people of Harlan County.
Blanton says, "I think it's an accurate portrayal of what's going on here. We do have problems, we've got a lot of issues and we've come a long ways."
Kameron Mogadam, Director and Photographer says, "He is so in to this and I think that alone, him being into it and him believing in it and I believed in it and I didn't know why."
John Gilbert, Co-Producer says, "I believe there's a little more to this than meets the eye, I'm won't come right out and say divine intervention but I will say that there's a hand in this helping us out."
They believe in the movie, and in their county.
The artists say once they receive financial help, they hope to have as many people from Harlan County as possible helping with the film.

So has anyone else looked at the CBC advice on the AK site?
I have looked at all of one page, and am already sweating.
Sorry to bring it up again, ladies. If you go onto the homepage and click the breastfeeding link, you'll see all the stuff that has been posted from CBC.
Look at this: Low Milk Supply | Annabel Karmel
"I am worried that I don't have enough milk. How can I check?
This is something many mothers worry about, and it is often the case that there isn't a problem with supply. It is difficult to accept that you can't measure how much your baby feeds, especially if you are more familiar with bottle feeding. If your baby is unsettled, there may be other reasons for this. Wind, nappy, overtired etc. Also, try to keep your baby on the breast until he comes off himself. Feed on demand, not to a schedule. If weight-gain is a concern, please consult the growth charts for breastfed babies, not formula fed.
Clare Byam-Cook says
If your baby is unsettled and not gaining weight, he is not getting enough milk. Using a breast pump is the best way to check whether this is because your supply is low or because he is not sucking well enough to get all the milk out. Don't try and use a pump in the early weeks. Chances are your baby is suckling fine, check position and attachment.You can establish which it is by offering a top-up immediately after he has finished feeding on the breast; if he drinks some milk this shows that he wanted more than he got from the breast.Again, don't start mixing bottle teats and breast in the early weeks. Just keep that baby on the boob!
You should then immediately use your pump to see how much milk was left in the breast compared with how much he took from the bottle; if you can easily express the same amount your supply is fine and it is his feeding that is the problem. If you can't express any milk, then your supply is low.Many many many mums cannot express even half an ounce, despite having a bounteous supply...
Another simple way of checking is to substitute several breast feeds with a bottle FFS and then use the pump to see how much milk you can express at each feed compared with the amount he took from the bottle."
This advice would be awful for someone who has a poor supply. Worst bit is, it's a commonly asked question and this advice sucks... (no pun intended...)

[quote=ladybug;187270]I have looked at all of one page, and am already sweating.
Sorry LB but this made me laugh out loud!
I am kind of trying to avoid because I had some many problems that 'know it all experts' can send me into a tiz! I will have a read through at some point I think- even if it is to see what is making you 'sweat'!
Eeeeeeeeek is all I'm saying!
Without wanting to open a whole can of extremely wriggly worms again, it's stuff like this why if I had another I would go straight to bottle. I had major problems bf Finlay and even just reading the above is too much for my brain to handle and I'm way past that stage now. Such conflicting advice all the time, no wonder women get low
I've had experience of following similar advice to Clare Byam-Cook's regarding expresssing from health care professionals with ds1 and resisting similar advice with ds2. Guess which one I've succeeded in returning to exclusive breastfeeding with?

What is in this article?:
- USDA publishes Grassland Reserve Program final rule
- Available in all 50 states
• The final rule addresses public comments on various program definitions, wind power, native species, landowner contributions, long-term management funding, ranking priorities, state-level priorities and the terms and conditions of GRP deeds.
More About:
Available in all 50 states
NRCS and USDA's Farm Service Agency (FSA) administer the program. Applications are accepted continuously. Each application is ranked by the NRCS State Conservationist and the FSA State Executive Director based upon criteria developed with input from the state technical committee.
Participants agree to limit future development and cropping uses of the land. They retain the right to conduct common grazing practices and operations; this is subject to certain restrictions during nesting seasons of bird species that are in significant decline. A grazing management plan is required for all participants.
Privately-owned grasslands and shrublands make up the largest land cover on America's private lands, covering more than 525 million acres. Grasslands are vital to livestock production. They provide food, cover, and nesting areas for wildlife, and filter nutrients from soil that would otherwise enter surface and groundwater. Healthy grasslands also prevent climate change by storing carbon dioxide that would re-enter the atmosphere and increase the greenhouse effect.
2010 represents the 75th year of NRCS "helping people help the land." Since its inception in 1935, the NRCS conservation delivery system has advanced a unique partnership with state and local governments and private landowners delivering conservation based on specific, local conservation needs, while accommodating state and national interests.

Leona Lewis wishes to throw celebrity lifestyle
"I definitely have moments when I come home and shut the door and think that all I want to do is sing," the Daily Express quoted her saying to Britain''s Big Issue magazine.
"But then I think, wait a minute - how are people going to hear my music? The bottom line is that if I can inspire, create awareness and help someone or an animal in any way, then it's all been worth it," she added.

Here is the official naughty letter from Santa... Thoughts?? I will be delivered by our elf "Toby". Its got a couple clip art pieces to make it look more "offical".
My Dear ___,
Thank you for coming to visit me at the mall a couple weeks ago and telling me about your wish for a lady bug toy. Your mommy has since told me you really want a bicycle as well.
As you know you need to be a good girl in order to get presents from Santa. Lately, you've been rather naughty. Santa Claus only brings gifts to good girls and good boys. I know you know how to be a good girl. I've seen how good you can be and how helpful you can be to your family. Please keep trying to be a good girl so I can bring you the lady bug toy and maybe a bicycle.
Remember to listen to your grown ups, eat your dinner, share with your brother, and go to bed when you're told so I can make this Christmas a very merry one for you.
I'm off to go feed Rudolph, in the mean time Toby will be keeping an eye on you and I will be checking in with your mommy about how you've been behaving.
Santa Claus
