Study on racial disparity in Vt. justice due soonBy WILSON RING
The Associated Press | January 12,2014MONTPELIER A study seeking to determine if members of minority groups are treated more harshly by the Vermont criminal justice system than white defendants should be finished before the Legislature adjourns this spring, said the official leading the study.
When the Legislature commissioned the study by the Vermont Center for Justice Research in 2012, it set December as the deadline for the report. But it was delayed because of problems getting the required information from the FBI, according to Max Schlueter, the centers executive director.
Now his organization and the FBI have agreed on the information that will be provided and they are now working to determine the mechanics of how the information will be shared.
Schlueter briefed the House Judiciary Committee on the progress of the study Friday.
The Legislature asked us to look into disparities in sentencing, Schlueter said before the hearing. But in large part they were really interested in whether or not the sentences of people of color, how does that compare with sentences for white defendants.
Schlueter said there was no disagreement that minorities are disproportionately represented in Vermonts criminal justice system.
Its an issue that in one form or another has bedeviled Vermont law enforcement for some time. Separate studies released in 2012 determined minorities were more likely to be stopped by police than white drivers.
Schlueter said that going beyond traffic stops, anecdotal evidence leads many to believe there are more minorities in Vermont prisons because they came to the state and committed serious crimes.
And before arriving in Vermont many already had significant criminal records that would prompt prosecutors and judges to seek lengthier sentences against them.
But statistically it has been impossible to determine if the minority defendants are being treated more harshly because the studies have only looked at the defendants Vermont record. To make an accurate comparison, a study needs to take into account the complete history of the individual.
So the Legislature appropriated $20,000 and the federal government added another $23,000 to get the entire criminal history of a representative sample of defendants over a five-year period.
Schlueter said his office and the FBI have agreed to share the records, specifically looking at histories of charges that include domestic violence, assault and marijuana and cocaine possession.
Its a troubling question and our goal, really, is to either put it to rest and say, you know, the courts are in fact color blind or say thats a good story about all these bad guys coming up from the Bronx, but it really isnt true, Schlueter said.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

Each agreement required under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph shall provide that in the event the career appointee fails to carry out the agreement (except for good and sufficient reason as determined by the head of the agency who granted the sabbatical) the appointee shall be liable to the United States for payment of all expenses (including salary) of the sabbatical. The amount shall be treated as a debt due the United States.
The Office shall encourage and assist individuals to improve their skills and increase their contribution by service in a variety of agencies as well as by accepting temporary placements in State or local governments or in the private sector.

Whether you're here to surf, sit and watch, or have to work. The first south shore swell is already making an impact in town.
Hawaiian Ocean's Waikiki usually has no problem renting out its surf boards but it was a different story on Friday.
"Today I think they're scared, they're scared of the big waves breaking so now they want to want to take a lesson which is really good for us," said Kevin Okimoto, a surf instructor and member of the "Opihi Pickers."
Okimoto says the list for surf lessons usually book up just a half page log, but on Friday, the list was over a page and a half.
"Some of these people save all their money throughout their whole life and want to catch one wave and stand up, and that's what we do," said Okimoto.
Local surfers also filled Waikiki for what they say was the most consistent day in recent memory.
"All my life pretty much, there was one in September that was pretty big but nothing like this that's consistent," said Don Fujiyama, a surfer.
Work was consistent for lifeguards too. They rescued nine people and assisted another 39 on the south shore on Friday.
Ocean Safety officials say this was their busiest day of the year so far. They've already relocated personal to help handle the crowded south shore beaches, and they plan to work longer shifts during this swell.
"Most of our water activities have been assists, people with lost boards, people with broken boards, people just getting caught in the current with floater mats," said Paul Merino, a lifeguard Captain.
Ocean Safety officials want to get a message out to surfers. They say if you break your board out on the water, to make sure you bring all of its pieces back into shore, or notify a lifeguard about your board. They don't want it to float out to sea and be misinterpreted for a missing surfer.

Can't Wait for FanFest :D
I am getting so excited about baseball! Now that football is finally over, we can jump back into baseball. I've kept very busy this offseason, but I'm finally really missing baseball. Football's great and everything, but baseball is the best.
I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited about the Padres FanFest this Saturday!! I wasn't entirely sure I would be able to go until a couple days ago, and now that I know that I'm definitely going, I am just super super excited. I can't wait to get out to Petco Park again to hang out with other Padres fans and get to interact with Padres players. I'm also really excited about being able to tour the clubhouse and run (or walk) the bases and shop at the Padres Garage Sale. I've been to the Fan Fest once and to the Fan Day last year, and both were amazing events.
I've been working on my amazing $10 jersey for the past few days. It was originally a Brian Giles jersey, but I've, uh, fixed it :) Haha! It's going to turn out so great. I will reveal it here on the blog next week after I wear it at the Fan Fest. It's been a lot of fun to work on, and I can't wait to wear it this Saturday!
Hyun Young's list of stuff to do at the Fan Fest is amazing, and it's almost exactly the same as my list would be, but I'm not going to steal her idea🙂 As you know, it's her birthday this Saturday, and I can't wait to hang out with her!! We're going to have soooo much fun!!
I haven't been to Petco Park since late September! My goodness, that was a long time ago! You have no idea how excited I am to see Petco again. That's my FAVORITE place to go and it's been way too long since I've been there.
This is going to be such a great event. I can't wait to spend a great day there and then come home and share stories and pictures with all you guys!!
And, pitchers and catchers report in nine days!! WOW!!! Hehehehehe I'm sooooooo excited!!!!
It's going to be so great to have Padres baseball back. I miss it like crazy. Things are going to be different, that's for sure, but I think it's going to be a great season.

I've "fixed" a few jersey's in my time…it is lots of fun :O) Be sure to post a photo when it is done!
I've heard that the Cubs (my favorite team) are interested in acquiring Greggerson from the Padres. All I know is that he's a talented young reliever, what else do I need to know about him? Not saying that the deal will go through for sure, but if it does, I'd like to know what to expect.
Who among of Pardes fans and supporter don't love the Padres FanFest? Well, if we can't make it to Bonnaroo 2010, this FanFest should not be an exemption. One thing I love in this FanFest is the Padres Garage Sale. I've been collecting memorabilia of their photos and other stuffs for 3 years now and surely, I still want more of them. I remember my first ticket to watch them – they were totally awesome and starting from that time till my dying day I'm guilty to shout out loud that I'M PADRES FANATIC. See you there Kaybee.
Always great when you have a huge red marker circling a date on your calendar, and for you, it is Fan Fest this weekend.
It is also a key moment to let us know that our days and nights are about to be filled again with chatter and remembering games and moments played by our teams.
Love the Garage Sale concept. Wish the Rays would do more of that except for those $ 10 baseball grab bags…….but they do have good signatures in them.
Have a great time, and looking forward to pictures and your special moments during the event.
Rays Renegade
Kaybee, the whole Garage Sale idea sounds really cool! The Phillies need to do something like that. I can't wait to see how you "fixed" your jersey! Have an awesome time!

Starving to death in prisonMay 01,2013Fadhel Hussein Saleh Hentif is one of about 100 detainees on a hunger strike in the prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. He was captured in 2001 by Pakistanis after crossing the border from Afghanistan, and, by 2002, he was in the U.S. naval detention facility. He was 20 years old. He has been there since.
Although the United States contends that Hentif left his home in Yemen to become an al-Qaida jihadist, he has always insisted he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. A devout Muslim, he says he went to Afghanistan to do charitable work to honor the memory of his father and that he then left Afghanistan for Pakistan because, as one of his lawyers, Robert Palmer, put it to me recently, the place was a mess.
Like most Guantanamo detainees, Hentif spent years in solitary confinement. He was subjected to alternative interrogation techniques, as it was euphemistically called. He watched the Bush administration release more than 500 of the 779 detainees who have passed through Guantanamo. He learned about lawyers arguing in court that the detainees had the legal right to a habeas corpus hearing that is, to try to prove that they were not enemy combatants and had been detained illegally.
And, in 2008, the Supreme Court ruled that they did have that right. That same year, a presidential candidate headed toward the White House, Barack Obama, promised to close Guantanamo. That never happened, though President Obama continued the Bush policy of releasing detainees who were not deemed a threat to the United States.
Hentif, in fact, was among those set to be released. In late 2009, he was hours away from flying home to Yemen when a man on a flight to Detroit tried to detonate explosives hidden in his underwear. Because the man had purportedly been trained by an al-Qaida affiliate with bases in Yemen, Congress demanded that the administration stop releasing all Yemen detainees. Obama complied.
And so it went: Hentif had a habeas corpus hearing in 2010, but, by then, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit had made a mockery of the Supreme Courts ruling, establishing evidentiary presumptions that made it impossible for a detainee to win a habeas ruling. (The Supreme Court has declined to hear further cases.) Sure enough, the judge ruled against him in 2012, despite concluding, among other things, that Hentif had never been to an al-Qaida training camp, as the government alleged.
Meanwhile, along with 55 other Yemen detainees, he has been placed on a cleared list compiled by a commission composed of national security officials, meaning he could be transferred out of Guantanamo. But Congress, led by Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham, both Republicans, quickly passed laws that put impossible conditions on their release. Shamefully, Obama signed those bills.
Is there any wonder that Hentif and the other detainees are on a hunger strike? It is a total expression of despair and hopelessness, said Brent Rushforth, who also represents him.
It is impossible to know for sure what triggered the hunger strike. Lawyers for the detainees say that the military, after years of loosening the reins including eliminating solitary confinement for many prisoners was tightening the screws again for no reason. The military insists that its procedures did not change but that the detainees had begun breaking and covering cameras and refusing demands that they stop doing so.
On April 13, with the hunger strike spreading, the military raided the prison and put the detainees back in solitary. It says it has done so because the detainees are more likely to eat if they are not surrounded by other hunger strikers. If so, it isnt working; there are more detainees refusing food today than before the April 13 raid. To force food into them, the military now shoves a tube down their nose, in an extremely painful procedure it called enteral feeding.
Are there terrorists at Guantanamo? Yes. The government knows who they are and keeps them away from the other detainees. But the hunger strike is a vivid reminder that Guantanamo remains exactly what it has always been: a stain on our country.
On April 13, Hentif was returning from morning prayers when the raid began. He was pushed up against a fence and shot with rubber bullets at such close range that five of them penetrated the skin. He was handcuffed and taken to the clinic. Now back in solitary confinement, he is worried that one of his wounds is becoming infected. Given their concerns about hunger strikers, the military medical staff hasnt been able to pay him much attention.
Thus it was that one more time, Fadhel Hussein Saleh Hentif was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Skip to comments.Topless feminists upset Belgian Church, but not bishop
Posted on 04/25/2013 4:09:21 AM PDT by markomalley
The Catholic Church in Belgium on Wednesday angrily denounced Femen topless protesters who targeted its primate at a conference though the archbishop himself remained composed and apparently at prayer throughout.
The four protesters leapt out of their seats at a debate on blasphemy and freedom of expression held at the Brussels' Free University (ULB) campus Tuesday evening, baring their breasts and squirting water at Archbishop Andre Leonard as they accused him of homophobia.
Security guards threw the women out of the hall within minutes as the archbishop remained quietly seated, his hands crossed apparently in prayer.
The Belgian religious leader, a known conservative, has often been criticised for his stand on gay issues.
(Excerpt) Read more at au.news.yahoo.com ...
Why don't they try this with Muslims? If they did I (might) have more respect for them...maybe.
Slide 15. I'm not sure I would be doing that considering where that container may have been.
That was ugly. No wonder those broads are lesbians.Only another ugly broad would want sex with any of them. They wouldn't even get prettier at closing time.
The Bishop handled himself with dignity while they made fools of themselves.
probably well aware that what is seen can NOT be un-seen.
Look for more attackst to happen against the Church. Not surprised.
Or composed and counting backward from 100 ;-).
The chick [term used loosely] with the sign is in dire need of +situps / -twinkies
Absent the concept of 'gentleman', many females would need to recalibrate 180°
It shows a woman throwing an unknown substance all over a bishop's body.....
.... while the second woman holds a sign that proclaims "MY BODY, MY RULES".
So apparantly it is "MY BODY, MY RULES; THE BISHOP'S BODY, *ALSO* MY RULES."
They DO protest against Islam in front of Mosques.
They had a major protest against Islam in Paris and Germany just a few weeks ago. See Femen stages a topless jihad (warning: has pics, not safe for work). FR thread from April 5
Topless Jihad in Kiev (above) in front of a mosque.
NICE POINT, Laz.
The protesters have self-negated their own negative display. In this posture the negative + negative is compounded and additive rather than becoming anything positive, and we can all look on them (if we must) as being at least 2x dumber than they appear in the images.
Considering the church has no power to compel these women to accept her edicts, why the rage?
In contrast to the protester that strutted her stuff to Putin (leading him to obviously think "Nice hooters"), these four are just skanks.
What's the use of having semi-naked females if they aren't even worth looking at?
I thought feminists were always shouting "Keep your hands off our bodies!!"
An actual mosque protester who IMO is Not Guilty.
She seems to be enjoying all the attention......
Everyone in the room can look at these *women and say:
"You have changed nothing. You confirmed everyone's belief that you are raving lunatics. And, we have all seen you naked. HAHAHHA... dumbbitches"
def not guilty.
You know, these feminists are supposed to stand up for women being treated equal, women not being exploited for their bodies or be seen as only as a sex object.
But most people would have clicked right over this article had it not said 'topless'. Most men that viewed this article looked at their boobs, didn't read the article, could care less about their cause.
I say to these ladies... keep it up! Hell, why keep pants on? Come on, strip all the way! Lets see it!
They could be protesting asparagus and I wouldn't give a hoot.
"oh man not another hippie protest... man this sucks... wait, whats that? .... ALRIGHT! BOOBS! Yeah!"
Dang, the protesters were not beheaded?? Jihadists must have liked to see nekid gals.
They're not stupid enough to protest Islam in an Islamic country, or in a predominantly-Muslim "no-go" zone in the West.
"...as they accused him of homophobia."
Gee, looking at those pictures, why would ANYONE fear unstable homsexuals who are looking to physically and verbally assault you.
Makes NO sense, right?
Not to mention the fact that lesbians -- women with a sexuality disorder -- seek to make a point by displaying organs whose biological purpose is maternal.
Post of the day to Laz.
Did anyone ever ask them why when they are protesting in Russia, Germany, France or Belgium they all write on themselves in English?
Heh, heh, Dave Barry was being interviewed by Ann Curry or some such & she was asking him about guy habits:
"For example, why do guys, unlike women, like to channel surf? What are they looking for?"
Dave replied, "A breast."
Ann (hand across throat): "Uhh.....our guest has been Dave Barry we'll be right back!!"
They remind me of Act Up.
Old Putin looked like he was puckering up for a kiss. It was a titillating scene, to be sure.
They have a need for some kind of validation, probably because of neglect or abuse in their childhood. They're angry at truth, because they want two essentially contradictory things. They're screaming, "Notice me, notice me! I want to do or be what I damn well please, but you have to like me." Not only like, but accept and sanction.

Dordt College News
Dordt Pair Honored By AVCA
December 9, 2013
(Monday, December 9; Sioux Center, Iowa) Dordt College volleyball players Kayla Gesink and Brooke Wolterstorff have been accorded national honors by the American Volleyball Coaches' Assocation (AVCA) for the recently completed 2013 season.
Gesink claimed Third-Team All-American honors and was a First-Team All-Region honoree as well. She claims the honor after putting up an average of 10.48 assists as Dordt recorded a 25-9 mark this season. Gesink averaged 1.1 kills with a .406 kill efficiency and she had 17 service aces and averaged 2.25 digs per contest. Gesink was also a First-Team All-GPAC pick this season and she claimed All-Tournament Honors at the NAIA Volleyball National Championship. She is also a 2013 NAIA Scholar-Athlete.
Wolterstorff was named the 2013 AVCA NAIA Freshman of the Year after claiming the AVCA Regional Honor last week. She was an all-region selection and also earned All-American Honorable Mention honors after averaging a team high 3.11 kills per set with a .290 kill efficiency and she got to 2.44 digs per set. Wolterstorff had a team high 38 ace serves and averaged 0.63 blocks per outing.
Both players appeared in all 126 sets for the Defenders this season as Dordt appeared in the NAIA National Volleyball Championships Final Site in Sioux City, Iowa for the first time since 2008. Dordt advanced out of pool play at the event for the first time since 2003.

You've probably seen a member of your family fly around the house the morning of a big event, or the morning something is due. (Maybe you've even done this yourself). Your husband can't find his lucky tie, your daughter's work shirt is in the laundry. It could be any number of things.
Take a moment to flash back to the last time that happened.
Now, commit to preparing the night before, no matter how tired or relaxed you may be at the time -- you will thank yourself in the morning. You can't control everyone else's schedule, but you can prompt them to have everything ready. Also, if all of your things are prepared, it buys you time to help those around you.
It's never fun to start out the day in a panic. Keep it organized by doing what you can the night before.
No. 1: Work and home boundaries
We all have them: the masters of wasting time. You can find them at work and throughout life.
If you're avoiding the coffee pot at 9 a.m. because Chatty Suzie will steal 30 minutes of your life that you'll never get back, become assertive. You do not have to be mean to do this, but get your coffee (you'll need that) and politely tell her you do not have time to talk. Depending upon your personality, this might be a daily occurrence or something that you don't feel comfortable doing.
Try it once. It gets easier.
At home, set boundaries for neighbors and family. You can set the limits with which you are comfortable. You may require visitors to call first or you may be comfortable with drop in guests. Maybe you reserve Sunday afternoon for "family time."
Find a schedule that works for you and breathe easier knowing that you are in control of your time.

Our great local bookstore, Market Block Books in Troy, NY, is hosting the FELLOW MORTALS release party this Thursday (Feb 7) at 7pm. I'll be there signing copies. There will be coffee. If you live around Troy, I hope you can make it. If you don't live around Troy, this is one more reason to lament living elsewhere.
Note: You can, in fact, purchase e-books at local indie stores. If you do so, I will be happy to gouge my signature into your reading device with a sharp metal object.
Whether or not you can attend, the book is available everywhere tomorrow.

Cole was driving a 2013 Kenworth Tractor 18-wheeler with a tow trailer loaded with heavy equipment when he T-boned Treviño's Kenworth Tractor 18-wheeler loaded with an estimated 150-190 barrels of oil, according to Calliham Fire Chief Will McBee.
Cole also collided with Roberto Alanis Ochoa of Mission who was heading west on Highway 72 in a 2005 Chevy pickup. Ochoa was not injured.
Cole died at the scene, and Treviño was air-lifted to the Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio. Treviño was still in the burn ICU as of Friday afternoon.
Fire crews from Calliham, Tilden, Cotulla and Charlotte responded to the call at about 2 p.m. and arrived on scene about 15 minutes later.
"Both trucks were fully engulfed in flames," Tilden Fire Chief Jason Cooper said. "The tanker trailer was on its side, unhooked from the truck, and everything was engulfed in flames."
Cooper said the smoke was visible from Tilden, approximately 16-17 miles away from the incident.
McBee said the fire crews let the oil burn itself out rather than try to extinguish it immediately. The estimated 6,000-8,000 gallons of oil took about one hour to burn. Burning it let the crews keep the hydrocarbons from getting into the Frio River, which was less than a half-mile from the scene.
"If we put it out early, we would have had to deal with the hazardous material," Cooper said.
McBee said Three Rivers Volunteer Fire Department's Chief Bobby Joe Stewart offered assistance while talking to him as he was en route to the scene even though it was past the McMullen County line into LaSalle.
"We are blessed to have such cooperating neighboring departments that are willing to help out at any given time," McBee said.
The roads weren't open to traffic until about 8:30-9 p.m., according to Roger Sorrelle of the McMullen County Sheriff's Departmen

It's time to hit the "reset" button and adopt targeted changes to simplify the income tax accounting standard, read our Point of view to find out more.
Significant changes in the business environment, including changes in tax laws and global expansion, have increased the complexity of accounting for income taxes.
The current income tax accounting standard, developed over two decades ago, includes many mechanical rules and "exceptions" which in today's environment can make it difficult to apply and often yields information that is challenging to understand. Despite significant investment in training and the widespread use of outside service providers, accounting errors and internal control problems persist.
The Financial Accounting Foundation—the overseer of the FASB—recently completed a post-implementation review of the US income tax accounting guidance. The findings acknowledged the operational challenges. We commend the FASB for continuing to analyze the report and perform outreach to focus on aligning the income tax accounting model to meet stakeholders' needs. We believe targeted improvements to certain areas can be implemented now to (1) reduce complexity for preparers, auditors and regulators and (2) enhance decision-usefulness to users.

The Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment SORCE is a NASA-sponsored satellite mission that is providing state-of-the-art measurements of incoming x-ray, ultraviolet, visible, near-infrared, and total solar radiation. The measurements provided by SORCE specifically address long-term climate change, natural variability and enhanced climate prediction, and atmospheric ozone and UV-B radiation. These measurements are critical to studies of the Sun; its effect on our Earth system; and its influence on humankind. The LASP Interactive Solar Irradiance Data Center provides a variety of solar irradiance datasets, including daily measurements, reference spectra, composite time series, and model results.
Precipitation Processing System (PPS)
The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) data are generated by the Precipitation Processing System (PPS). PPS is responsible for processing, analyzing, and archiving data from the current TRMM mission as well as the upcoming Global Precipitation Mission(GPM). PPS also provides validation data from multiple TRMM ground radar sites. The data products are available to the science community and the general public from the PPS online FTP archive.
NASA's Earth Science program was established to use the advanced technology of NASA to understand and protect our home planet by using our view from space to study the Earth system and improve prediction of Earth system change. To meet this challenge, NASA promotes the full and open sharing of all data with the research and applications communities, private industry, academia, and the general public.
NASA was the first agency in the US, and the first space agency in the world, to couple policy and adequate system functionality to provide full and open access in a timely manner – that is, with no period of exclusive access to mission scientists – and at no cost.
NASA made this decision after listening to the user community, and with the background of the then newly-formed US Global Change Research Program, and the International Earth Observing System partnerships. Other US agencies and international space agencies have since adopted similar open-access policies and practices.
Since the adoption of the Earth Science Data Policy adoption in 1991, NASA's Earth Science Division has developed policy implementation, practices, and nomenclature that mission science teams use to comply with policy tenets.

Data Levels
EOSDIS science data products are processed at various levels ranging from Level 0 to Level 4. Level 0 products are raw data at full instrument resolution. At higher levels, the data are converted into more useful parameters and formats. All EOS instruments must have Level 1 products. Most have products at Levels 2 and 3, and some have products at Level 4.
Detailed definitions of data levels
Data Maturity Levels
Data System Standards
NASA's Earth Science Data Systems Groups anticipate that effective adoption of standards will play an increasingly vital role in the success of future science data systems. The Earth Science Data Systems Standards Process Group (SPG), a board composed of Earth Science Data Systems stakeholders, directs the process for both identification of appropriate standards and subsequent adoption for use by the Earth Science Data Systems stakeholders.
List of Approved Data System Standards
Core and Community Data System Elements
In order to serve the needs of a broad and diverse community of users, NASA's Earth Science Data Systems Program is comprised of both "Core" and "Community" data system elements.
Core data system elements reflect NASA's responsibility for managing Earth science satellite mission data characterized by the continuity of research, access, and usability. The core comprises all the hardware, software, physical infrastructure, and intellectual capital NASA recognizes as necessary for performing its tasks in Earth science data system management.
Core component Websites:
- Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS)
- CloudSat Data Processing Center
- Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) Solar Irradiance Data Center
- Precipitation Processing System (PPS)
- Earth Observing System (EOS) Clearinghouse (ECHO)
Community data system elements are those pieces or capabilities developed and deployed largely outside of NASA core elements and are characterized by their evolvability and innovation. Successful applicable elements can be infused into the core, thereby creating a vibrant and flexible, continuously evolving infrastructure.
Both core and community capabilities are required for NASA to meet its overall mission objectives. While both types of capabilities are innovative and strive towards state-of-the-art in technology, there is difference in relative emphases. Core capabilities use proven technologies and emphasize reliability and robustness, while community capabilities allow for more experimental technologies that may eventually be infused into the core capabilities and data products that may be archived in EOSDIS Data Centers for public distribution.
Community Data Systems Website
Data System Evolution Activities
Relevant Programs that Openly Solicit Research and Development
The Earth Science Data Systems Program has periodic open solicitations for research and development to support the continual evolution of our Earth science data systems, and add to data records being provided from our systems. These include the Advancing Collaborative Connections for Earth System Science (ACCESS), Earth Science Data Records Uncertainty Analysis, and Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) programs.

Drinking Local: Show Your Wisconsin Pride
03rd January 2012
We agree with Matt Simpson aka The Beer Sommelier, who in 2008 wrote "think global, Drink local" about the value of buying local beers and organic ones as well: http://www.thebeerexpert.com/beer_sommelier_works.shtml. Props to his prescience. Three years later he's now joined by a chorus of locavors — people, especially foodies — who advocate buying locally produced goods, produce, etc., when possible. As Simpson points out, buying locally helps the local economy. Local First Milwaukee — formerly Our Milwaukee (est. 2006) — has done the math: For every $1 you spend at a locally owned business, more than 68¢, versus 43¢ spent at a national chain, remains in Milwaukee. Sprecher has been an active member of Local First Milwaukee almost since its inception.
And there's something to be said for fresh ingredients. This year Sprecher made its first brew using hops grown in central Wisconsin, Fresh Hop Amber. Fresh hops have a short life. After picking they were driven to the the brewery and immediately put to use. Even though the alpha acids on these beers were low, over time their flavor profile evolved giving the beer a crisp and distinctive taste. The distinction came from the Wisconsin terroir, a geo-specific term originally used to describe the unique qualities soil and environment lend to grapes. Because Wisconsin's terroir differs from California's, for example, the flavor of our hops do too. We look forward to incorporating fresh Wisconsin hops into more beer styles in 2012.
Another point Simpson brings up: beer at its freshist is beer at its bestist, and it's easier to get fresh beer directly from the source or at a nearby store, bar or restaurant. This is one reason people love growlers–beer straight from the tap–which we offer at Sprecher. Like locally sourced ingredients, freshly tapped beer saves on the carbon footprint because it requires less transportation and, in the case of growlers, less packaging. One growler holds 64oz of fresh beer, the same as 4 pint bottles. Growlers do not have a long shelf life. Once opened they should be consumed in a day, two max.
Local breweries appreciate your support. We at Sprecher certainly do. We've worked hard to become an integral member of our community. Every year Sprecher gives back to the community with product and cash donations for myriad causes ranging from school fundraisers to non-profit health organizations to our armed forces. And we toast each and every customer who has helped make us successful. Thank you, and Happy New Year! Drink great beer whenever you have the chance. If that beer happens to be local, two cheers. If that beer happens to be Sprecher, three cheers!

My 7.5 month old has had 2 teeth for a few weeks now. He hasn't really bitten me yet, just little grazes when he is half asleep. /today he has bitten me 3 times. They are prposeful and hard ond hurt like crazy. He stops sucking, pulls back, and chomps on the tip of my nipple. The first time he did it, I sort of screached and said "that hurts mommy." He looked contrite, so I let him nurse again and he almost immediately bit me. I had to pry his jaws loose and told him that it hurts (I had a very stern voice and face, I was in a lot of pain). He just smiled and sort of giggled. I decided he was done eating. The next feeding, at the end, he looks up at me and smiles, I smile back and he chomps down hard. I again say in a stern voice that it hurts me and he again giggles. I stopped feeding him and he is now happily playing.
He has been pinching me a lot lately too, on the arms if he isn't nursin (when I am holding him while we are doing something). If we are nursing, he has been stopping and lovingly patting my breast and then grabbing the nipple with the tips of his fingers and sqeezing, he even tenses his whole body to get the squeeze good and intense. It would be funny to watch if it didn't hurt so much. Everytime he does these things, I have been saying that it hurts mommy and moving his hand or getting him distracted. He doesn't do any pinching and such to anyone else, just me. How do I stop these behaviors before I am black and b;ue? I would really like to continue to have a pleasant BFing experience with my son.
Thanks in advance.

I am with you 100% now that I found out the knick owe the Jazz a 1st round pick this year. I am so PISSED!
BOYCOTT
Our savior is here, and his name is Peter Vecsey. Read his column today, it's one the most important one's a Knick fan will read in years.
Mr. Vecsey is OFFICIALLY calling on fans to boycott the Knicks.
His column today is nothing less than a declaration of war against Dolan, and a call to action for Knick fans to join the cause. A few websites and forums are already mobilizing after the publication of this story.
As a Knick fan, I hope you will join Peter, Me, and the hundreds of other Knick fans in this boycott. This topic will be the focus of my next column, but here are a few items of what a boycott entails:
I have also personally written to Mr. Vecsey to give him my support.
In addition to thanking him, I will be exploring the possibility of writing an open letter to James Dolan, and calling on fans to boycott all MSG Properties and sponsors and having it printed in the NY POST. Such action will guarantee Dolan even more negative publicity.
Once a sponsor gets the slightest feeling that it is in bad taste to be affiliated with the Knicks, Dolan would have no choice but to stop the bleeding.
I respect everyone's opinion's on this site, but I don't always agree. However, I think all knick fans around the world can agree that this team is an embarrassment to NYC.
Please join me in this boycott. Copy this thread and post it on as many Knicks sites as possible. It's time to take a stand
I am with you 100% now that I found out the knick owe the Jazz a 1st round pick this year. I am so PISSED!
Thank you,
The best thing we can do write now is to find as many Knick websites as possible and make them read Peter Vecsey's column.
If I am given clearance to have my letter printed, I will show it to you guys for review before it is published.
Clubknicks is a huge site. OH if someone has myspace, I do, post it on myspace to all knicks groups.
im on clubknicks...not 2 active nomore dow =/
Good. good. With the media and fans working together, we can do this.
In a world where someone can overthrow a dictator, I'm sure we can get someone fired at the least.
Keep on spreading the Boycott- and don't even think about going to the Garden.
Try to get a refund.
This has to become an ideology for us fans to follow. Don't forget that.
We all will be remembered in the Knicks History Books, I can feel it. The fans are always here for the Knicks. I already posted on myspace groups, and on my bulletin.
Now I will try to get banners out in front of msg with what you wrote Starks.
As Knick fans, we have a chance to make history. This is something that hasnt been seen in the NBA (at least from what I know). If all of us actively try to spread the word, this **** can work. Lets get busy.
Also, to get inspired put the film "FIDEL" on your netflix.
I'm telling you, ambition and support of the masses is all you need to accomplish your most extreme of goals.
yupp,Boycotts Happened in professional soccer it will happen here in the NBA. With help of Stern we will do it, even without Stern we can.
its safe to assume that Stern would love to see Isiah and Dolan go. They are both accidents waitin to happen, they make Stern worry like Curry on defense.
well idk if well get enough fans but if we do hey sure y not
I realised that in a city like NY its impossible. People will still go to games. But might be fans of the other team... OR you guys know in section 300s. There are always the people from other Countrys that don't even know a thing about basketball (tourists) they will always go to games.

According to deputy Lt. Steve Linam, the suspects, who now live in Converse, Texas, were caught leaving a building associated with the Normanna Museum at about 7:30 a.m. on July 20.
Deputy Taylor Clevenger, Deputy Sgt. Investigator Adam Levine and Trooper Aaron Frazier responded after a witness reported suspicious activity in the area.
The men, 35-year-old Ramon Echevarria, and 17-year-old Frank Benitez, were found leaving with property that they had removed from a building. All property was recovered, and the men were charged with burglary of a building.
The charge is a state jail felony. If convicted, each suspect could be sentenced to a two-year term in a state jail facility and fined $10,000.
Both suspects went before Justice of the Peace Abel Suniga, who set bond at $3,000 on each of them.
They have since been released after posting that bond.
Sheriff Carlos Carrizales and the Bee County Sheriff's Office thanked the citizens who reported the activity in a timely manner. It was that prompt action that allowed officers to catch the suspects in the act.
Linam said Carrizales encourages all of Bee County's citizens to report such activity as soon as it is observed so that the Bee County Sheriff's Office can better serve the communities and local residents.

My son had run out of books. Already read the new Rick Riordan. Finished his school-assigned books. Bored of reading.
I needed to rekindle his interest in reading, but how?
I looked to his main hobby–nay, obsession–baseball.
I'd already done something I thought was pretty darned clever. I found a couple of novels written by former baseball player Cal Ripken Jr. (Super-sized Slugger and Hothead). My son loved them because not only were the protagonists his age and baseball players, but the novel was written by a baseball player so it was authentic. It spoke his language.
He read them and loved them. But after that, I was tapped out.
So I went to the library and asked the librarian if she knew any baseball novels.
She did. In fact, one of her favourite books as a young girl was E. L. Konigsburg's About The B'nai Bagels. It's the story of a kid whose mother ends up being his baseball team's manager. (Awwwkward.)
She put that one one hold for me and while it was working its way toward my library branch, she ferretted out a couple more: Haunting at Home Plate by David Patneaude and Throwing Smoke by Bruce Brooks.
My son loved them!
So there's the idea for you. Think about your kid's hobbies and then talk to a librarian. It can be kind of hard to Google these things, because you'll get all manner of how-to books, instructionals… but those librarians, man, they know stuff. Tell them what your kid's into and before you know it she'll find you something amazing.
That's what happened for me.

Just curious...
Is the only difference between feeding breast milk from the bottle and feeding straight from the source that you are forming a strong bond of love and affection with the latter?
Does breast milk lose any nutrients or vitamins once bottled up?
I hope to be able to breastfeed without using any bottles--or is that not always possible?

Fox has spent 29 years as an educator, holding various positions as a teacher, coach, and administrator in his long and expansive career.
"I'm very excited about being selected as the new principal," said Fox of his new position. "I have always wanted an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of young people. I've worked all of my career at small, rural communities and schools and really enjoy the small town connections and atmosphere."
A native Texan, Fox has lived and worked in South Texas his whole life and has his roots in his hometown of Odem. Fox graduated from Odem High School in 1971 and then went on to earn his Bachelor of Science degree from University of Texas Pan-American in Edinburg in 1978. Fox then eventually earned his master's degree in Education Administration from Lamar University in 2009.
A proud military veteran, Fox also served six years in the Army National Guard from 1971-1977.
Fox began his education career in his hometown, where he was a teacher and a coach for 19 years at Odem ISD. He then moved on to Refugio ISD, where he has been for the past nine years. Fox served as a defensive-coordinator football coach and taught science and physical education for the first three years at Refugio, and then went on to be assistant principal for both the high school and elementary school campuses.
Fox relates his enthusiasm and commitment to his new leadership role as principal, and also to what has been his life's work in the education field of rural communities.
"The education professions provide a great opportunity to reach out and help kids. I feel I have a calling for this… and truly welcome the challenge of leading the students, staff, and all stakeholders at Runge High School."
Fox and his wife of 37 years, Melanie (with whom he has five grown children and 10 grandchildren), are getting to know the Runge community and are looking forward to the new challenge and responsibility of Fox's position as the principal of Runge High School.
"I have been very impressed with the administration and staff and I am looking forward to making connections with all stakeholders in the community of learners, and I am excited to be a part of the Runge ISD," he said.

WVU going JUCO route
With its latest verbal commitment – 285-pound offensive guard Stone Underwood from Copiah-Lincoln Junior College – it has become apparent that third-year head coach Dana Holgorson and his staff have elected to fill West Virginia University's immediate needs from the junior college ranks.
Underwood, who is expected to graduate in May and have three years to compete his two remaining years of eligibility, is the sixth non-high school recruit for the Class of 2013.
And, it doesn't appear as though he will be the final one.
The loss of 22 seniors as well as a smaller-than-normal senior class for the upcoming campaign has forced WVU's staff, which will include three new coaches when the old gold and blue open spring drills in late March, to seek some quick fixes.
Especially on the offensive side of the football.
Four members of Holgorsen's newest class have already inked their names to National Letter of Intents and were expected to be on the Morgantown campus when classes began this week.
Two star wide receivers Kevin White and Ronald Carswell are expected to fill part of the void left by the departure of Paul Hornung Award winner Tavon Austin, Biletnikoff Finalist Stedman Bailey and fellow senior J.D. Woods while 3-star running back Dreamius Smith is being looked to provide that 'big-bodied' running back that the Mountaineers sorely missed when senior Shawne Alston got hurt.
Rounding out the quartet of junior college signees is 6-3, 210 pound safety Terrell Pinson (Itawamba JC). While standout freshman Karl Joseph returns to main one of the safety slots, WVU's porous secondary is in need of a lot of help and Pinson could definitely be a part of solving that problem area.
But, fans need to understand one very important fact – recruiting the junior colleges is a gamble. There are success stories – like the one surrounding now-Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman Bruce Irvin – and there are failures.
I can't say that I am an advocate for the junior college route. But, West Virginia's immediate needs are many and, like many fans, I don't see the answers already wearing the old gold and blue and, unless this staff is going to recruit a bunch of 5-star athletes, I'm not comfortable that the incoming freshman class will be talented enough to fill the voids.
Speaking of voids, if you are looking for something to take your mind away from the first weekend of no college football games, here's a suggestion.
St. Marys will be the site for the 9th annual St. Marys Boys' and Girls' Invitational Basketball Tournament. Action got under way on Thursday with a pair of boys' semifinal contests and the girls will take to the court tonight with Herbert Hoover taking on Wirt County in the opening tilt with the No. 3 (Class A) Blue Devils facing Frontier Local in the nightcap.
Saturday will offer a plethora of action with the boys' consolation game kicking things off at 1:30 p.m. followed by the girls' consolation. Championship action starts at 5:30 p.m. with the boys while the girls' title game follows at 7:30.
