Million: Flaming Gorge Pipeline unaffected by state water board decision
- published_in
- Today's News
The Colorado Water Conservation Board decided this week to discontinue $100,000 in funding for the Flaming Gorge Task Force. Members of the group, who began their work in 2010, had outlined the project's benefits, concerns and challenges in a report to the water board.
Tuesday's decision to halt funding represented a "critical wound" to the project, Boulder-based Western Resource Advocates said in a statement. Environmentalists oppose the project because they contend it would diminish Green River flows.
The decision "sends a strong message that it's time to move on to other water demand solutions,´ said Drew Beckwith, the conservation group's water policy manager. "No amount of discussion is going to make the pipeline less expensive or more realistic, and we applaud the CWCB for recognizing the need to move forward."
Jennifer Gimbel, director of the water board, said the environmentalists' comments were "misleading."
The decision "doesn't reflect the board's position on the pipeline," she said. "It doesn't endorse it; it doesn't deny it."
The task force was formed to study issues surrounding the project, not to decide whether the project should move forward. After completing a report on the pipeline, the task force requested $100,000 to study "new supply projects in general" at Tuesday's water board meeting, Gimbel said.
However, the Interbasin Compact Committee already is studying potential water supply projects, she said.
"The request from the Flaming Gorge Task Force is a bit duplicative of what we're already doing in other state processes," she said.
Aaron Million, principal of Wyco Power and Water Inc., called environmentalists' characterization of the decision "grossly inaccurate." The company has proposed building the pipeline to bring water from Wyoming to the Front Range, including Fort Collins.
"One of the reasons I think the environmental community's been so vocal is that this project has a lot of merit to it,´ said Million, who contends the project would add to Poudre River volume.
Wyco is doing "further engineering" to respond to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's rejection of its proposal last year, he said.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Computer Fraud And Abuse Act Reform
We've said it before and we'll say it again: violating a computer use restriction is not a crime. That's why today EFF filed an amicus brief urging the Oregon Supreme Court to review a troubling opinion by the Oregon Court of Appeals in State v.
Aaron's law, the proposed law named in honor of Internet hero Aaron Swartz was reintroduced last week by Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) and Senator Wyden (D-Ore.), with new co-sponsor Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.). This bill is the same as the one introduced in 2013 and we call upon Congress to move it forward.
A 14-year-old eighth grader in Florida, Domanik Green, has been charged with a felony for "hacking" his teacher's computer. The "hacking" in this instance was using a widely known password to change the desktop background of his teacher's computer with an image of two men kissing. The outrage of being charged with a felony for what essentially amounts to a misguided prank should be familiar to those who follow how computer crimes are handled by our justice system.
Ugly facts often make bad law. But it's important to not let opinions about the specific defendants that appear in court influence how the law will be applied to millions of other individuals. That's why today, EFF filed an amicus brief urging the Second Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn a dangerous decision that would make employees criminally liable under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act ("CFAA") for violating an employer's computer use restriction.
The Obama Administration is on a roll with proposing legislation that endangers our privacy and security. Over the course of two days, President Obama proposed a cybersecurity bill that looks awfully similar to the now infamous CISPA (with respect to information sharing), a computer crime bill that is the opposite of our own proposed computer crime reform, and a data breach law weaker than the current status quo. All three of the bills are recycled ideas that have failed in Congress since their introduction in 2011. They should stay on the shelf.

I have a serious problem...
My son is 2 months old. I was breasfeeding him for the first 4 weeks. I found out I would have to return to work when he is 6 weeks old. Deffinitely wasn't my choice! My milk supply started decreasing even though I was feeding him every two hours for 40 minutes at a time... Stress is probably the main reason...I have been working for two weeks now. I drop off my boy at my In-Laws every morning because they live close to my work and I can feed him at lunch, I am trying to pump every two hours at work, but my supervisor is not too happy about it. I can only get 30 ml at a time!!!!! I am in shock and panic! I don't want to give up breasfeeding, but I already have to supplement him with formula and I am not sure if there is a way to increase my milk production. Also, he has been sleeping through the night since he was 3 weeks old. I tried to wake him up a few times for the night feedings ( hoping that would increase my supply), but he refused to feed..
Is there any way I could increase my milk supply being away from my baby all day and not being able to feed him frequently?
Any suggestions are GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!

sorry guys, i'm definitly not a fan of stephon marbury, but right now, i think you're doin him wrong.Originally Posted by jimkcchief88
talkin' of pg's in their classical role as a playmaker, you're right. guys like kidd, nash, ridnour, hinrich, andre miller or billups are doin a better job on that.
but i can't agree on your opinion, that marbury really is that bad.
c'mon...smush parker, ridnour... i mean based on talent and skills marbury really is one of the better players at pg...
..but i'd prefer any floor-leader with a pass first-mentality too.
and i also think that -despite the fact he is a good player- marbury won't make any team better or say that better to become more than a playoff-contender.
the only way out of this mess would be a trade for a guy like lamar odom, cause alongside that kind of player, the team could benefit of marbs play

It was their first session since being named to the deliberative body earlier this month by District Judge Joel Johnson.
Jurors indicted Kenneth Ray DeLosSantos on a charge of tampering with physical evidence.
The charge is a third degree felony. If convicted, the defendant faces a prison term of up to 10 years and a $10,000 fine.
A Beeville Police Department officer alleged that DeLosSantos concealed marijuana during an investigation on Feb. 10.
Bond was $1,500.
The only other defendant indicted last week was Kristian Michael Campos on a charge of possession of a controlled substance in a correctional facility.
The offense is a third degree felony.
According to a BPD investigator, Campos had Gabapentin in his possession.
The prescription drug is used to treat neuropathic pain.
The suspect's bond was $2,000.
Johnson set bonds on the defendants after the indictments were returned.
According to personnel in the district clerk's office, three of the five cases brought to the grand jury resulted in no bills.

All in all, "3riverspd.com"—the Three Rivers Police Department's newest website—is a new venue that promotes the same, never-ending, mission of public safety.
On the site, Three Rivers residents can sign up for cell phone and email alerts. Those wishing to one day wear the badge can even coordinate conversations with a recruiter. Concerned citizens can inquire about area sex offenders or even request extra patrols in a given area.
Three Rivers Police Chief Vance Roberts could not immediately be reached this week to discuss the new site, but a statement on the site by the PD clearly outlines the site's benefits and focus.
"The Three Rivers Police Department has more than doubled its staff in the last few years," according to the statement. "This is directly related to the growth the Eagle Ford Shale has brought. Stay tuned … More is on the way!"
Applying to the news alert system online brings a prompt and informative email response.
""The community Information Service helps keep you and your family safe, informed, and connected to your community 24/7," the email reads. "With emergency alerts, important advisories, community updates, and traffic information, you will receive up-to-date information impacting the areas near you by cell phone, e-mail and on the web. Spread the word with friends, family and neighbors! Help make your community a stronger, safer, and better place to live."
The Progress will relay more information regarding the site as it becomes available.

At a meeting of the Health and Family Services Committee at the government center on October 6, commissioner Chris Cunningham warned lawmakers that it may be an especially cold winter for low-wage residents in Sullivan County.
That's because the federal government is in the process of significantly reducing the funds available to New York and all states for the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP), which provides money for heating oil and other fuels to keep houses warm in the winter.
According to various published reports, the amount available for New York this season will be $250 million, down from $534 million last year.
Cunningham also said other changes will make it more difficult for qualifying residents to stay warm. One change is the length of the HEAP season. In past years, residents could apply for assistance on the first business day of November. This year, they can't apply until November 16. Further, the program will cease operations on March 15; last year, the assistance was available through May 13.
Additionally, the emergency part of the HEAP program will not begin until January 3, unlike last year when it started at the beginning of November. Residents needing emergency electricity to run appliances and lights, and who get a notice from their provider saying the power is going to be shut off, will not be able to apply for the emergency program until the new year. Last year, there was also a second emergency program in place; that has been eliminated this year.

The millionaire's tax
After the discussion about HEAP, Priscilla Basset, president of the Senior Legislative Action Committee (SLAC), asked the legislature to send a letter to Governor Andrew Cuomo urging him not to let the so-called millionaire's tax expire at the end of the year as it is set to do now.
She explained that it wasn't really limited to millionaires because it reached single people who earn $200,000 after expenses, such as a mortgage, are deducted and couples who similarly earn $300,000. "Still," she said, "It won't hit most of the people in this room."
Bassett said the "tax on upper incomes could be used to reduce many of the proposed cuts in state spending, such as the billion dollar cut to poor school districts."
Lawmaker David Sager moved that the committee comply with the request from SLAC and send the letter to Cuomo, though he expressed the view that it was very unlikely that the governor would be swayed by the letter. The other lawmakers on the committee agreed that it was not likely to have much impact, but they unanimously voted in favor of the letter, which Sager said he would compose.

Sox Pen Implodes, Thornton Fails Again
1 Comment
I was firmly in the "give Matt Thorton at least one more kick at the can before we can really see what's what" camp. And, then, when they finally do give him his next chance, the bases are loaded with one out. Perfect time to prove what you're made of. (See: Brian Fuentes for the second time this series.)
And, here we are again. The ninth inning is killing us. And, possibly me.

Judge overturns governor's education powers
Gov. Scott Walker's office says it will appeal
A Dane County judge has ruled statutes that give the governor the power to approve or kill new education policies are unconstitutional.
Republican lawmakers passed a bill in May 2011 that grants the governor the authority to approve or deny state agencies' proposals for new administrative rules.
A pair of teachers unions, the Wisconsin Education Association Council and Madison Teachers Inc., filed a lawsuit a little more than a year ago alleging the law can't apply to the superintendent of public instruction. They argued the law gives another state office more authority over public schools than the superintendent, a violation of the Wisconsin Constitution.
Dane County Circuit Judge Amy Smith sided with the unions Tuesday, ruling the law does indeed violate the constitution.
Gov. Scott Walker's office has promised to appeal.

text: My title says it all, however, I can't pump. I used to pump a little in the beginning, but haven't in a few months and it just won't work now. My pump is an AmedaPurely yours. I also got a medela manual and haven't had luck with that, even looking at my baby or photos while I try. The first time I got half an ounce, and since then just drops when I pump after I feed. I don't want to pump away a feeding, I don't give her a bottle, I just want to up my production a little and have a stash. Does pumping and not getting anything still stimulate milk production, or do u need to be emptying or at least getting a half ounce or so to be effective. if I continue not to be able to get anything, would a hospital grade pump be able to drag it out?

October 26, 2011 —
The campaign that pits resident Dolores Keesler against incumbent supervisor Joe Canfield is generating a lot of heat and energy in Damascus Township.
The story goes back to March, when Canfield unexpectedly made a motion to remove Keesler as the township representative to the Upper Delaware Council (UDC), saying that she did not represent a majority in the township. Consequently, she was removed. Some residents were so incensed that they embarked on an effort to write in Keesler's name on the primary ballot.
They won. Keesler is now on the ballot, challenging Canfield.
Keesler and Canfield have stated their positions on several important issues in the township.
On the persistent problem with the roads, Keesler suggests that she would work to establish an effective road management plan that would establish repair priorities that would be followed regularly.
On this issue, Canfield said, "I have been actively pursuing alternative paving that is going to be about 50% of the cost of paving done by PennDOT's superpave spec."
Regarding the traditional role supervisors also serving as road masters, Canfield answers, "The system of supervisor/road master has been working well for more than 100 years and I see no point in changing it."
Keelser said, "It's clear in the supervisor's handbook that there is no requirement that the supervisor be a road master."
On the allegation that township decisions are made without adequate public input or open discussion, Canfield said, "In any given situation, the board of supervisors must look at the whole picture and make decisions they believe will benefit the entire township and not just those who may have an agenda of their own."
Keesler, however, said, "During meetings, motions are made, seconded and voted on with no revealing of what factors were used in arriving at the decision. A case in point: at the meeting of March 2011, the agenda item was simply 'UDC,'with no explanation to promote comments. It turned out that my removal was the order of business, not the UDC itself."
On whether gas drilling is a positive opportunity for the town, Keesler said, "It is an individual's right to lease their land, but individuals are still accountable to neighbors and the community for the impact of activity on their land, water, etc."
On this point, Canfield said, "If gas drilling can be done responsibly, with strong regulations, even stronger oversight and respect for property rights, it can benefit our community. Everyone is in favor of safety and quality of life, and we must find ways for all of us to work together to build Damascus Township."
Keesler said that the permits granted to the Newfield Exploration Company to drill in the township should have been handled by the zoning hearing board and not by the supervisors. "Formerly, gas extraction was lumped under mineral extraction and as such a 'special exception.' To get a permit, an application had to be reviewed by the zoning hearing board, followed by a public hearing." This power was taken away from the zoning board and given to the supervisors, all of whom had signed leases, she said.
Canfield answers, "The Zoning Hearing Board is not permitted on any site by law. In sum, the responsibility for overseeing the community ultimately lies with the board of supervisors and the planning commission."
Canfield said further, "The biggest issue is building Damascus in a way that recognizes our responsibilities to economic growth, sensitivity to the environment and mutual respect. What we need is people to work together to build Damascus Township. What we don't need is to have our town pulled apart at the seams by people trying to control what isn't theirs to control."
On this, Keesler said, "The town is like a boat that is sinking. We need to work together and not take partisan positions in secret that pits one against another."
Keesler said she thinks that the township should "develop sustainable business opportunities like niche farming, artisanal food production, recreational facilities, developing new entrepreneurial businesses, vacation business like camps, spas, retreats, as well as retirement/health facilities (which) can be built on the resources we have in abundance, utilizing the township's scenic beauty without gas drilling."

SAN ANGELO, Texas — Junior Kimber Duncan collected match highs of 11 kills and 16 digs on Saturday as Angelo State posted a 25-14, 25-19, 28-26 Lone Star Conference South Division volleyball victory over Eastern New Mexico University.
Angelo (11-7, 2-2 South) overcame a 2-0 deficit to take a 10-4 lead in the first game, after which the Rambelles did not allow the Zias to get closer than four points.
The Zias (5-13, 0-2)led 8-6 in Game 2 and were still even with Angelo 13-13 after a kill by sophomore outside hitter Veronica Valdez. At that point, the Rambelles went on a 5-0 run to take control.
ENMU took a 15-13 lead in the third game with a 4-0 run that included a kill and a block by freshman Jessica King and a kill by sophomore libero Caitlin Murphy. The Zias led 20-17 before Angelo chipped away, pulling even 24-24 on a Zias attack error.
A service error by Angelo's Brittany McNeal on match point pulled ENMU into a 26-26 tie, but the Rambelles Alaina Sivells converted consecutive kills to finish it.
King and freshman outside hitter Sarah Koch each had six kills for the Zias, while King also had five block assists. Valdez added three block solos.
McNeal also reached double figures in kills for the Rambelles with 10.

Shadow0035 posted:3/11/2010 2:24:51 AM wow thats really intreasting some causes are EMP's that would disrupt there navigation but that wouldnt explain why they all fell in one front garden....there are other possibilities but intreasting all the same.Ninnana posted:3/11/2010 5:04:19 AM I remember in one movie, but forgot which one, flack of birds hit UFO that was cloaked and the shield killed them....but i dont wanna jump to conclusions.tapuout4985 posted:3/11/2010 6:51:52 PM Actually sounds like a case of poisoning. Some sort of fertilizer or pesticide was probably used on the garden, the birds ate worms or insects out of the garden and next thing you know, dead birds. I've read other stories of the same thing happening from all parts of the world.0x6a656666 posted:3/12/2010 2:33:56 AM From the article:"Tests were carried out on some of the birds and they were found to have physical injuries but we could find no evidence of any health issues which could explain what had happened."Err....no poisoning here :) tapuout4985 posted:3/12/2010 12:11:16 PM 'The sky was raining starlings. One of my neighbours saw them. They seemed to just fall out of the sky.''They were all found to have physical injuries - with most suffering either broken wings or a shattered beak - but no underlying health problems or toxins which could explain their sudden deaths.'Most modern 'organic' herbicides and pesticides will still cause deaths, but they aren't the classic toxin one would look for in an autopsy. Most of the 'organic' compounds cause death by dehydration, which on its own can cause weakness and lack of coordination. The physical injuries were mostly broken beaks and broken wings which is pretty consistent with a bird flying blindly into the ground. This has the same sound of every other case of a flock of birds falling from the sky which has involved either intentional or accidental poisoning, and I doubt them crashing into a garden was just coincidence.Shadow0035 posted:3/15/2010 9:40:32 AM I did more reaserch on this and through certain sources i was able to figure out that the cause of this was all due too an emp surge, which makes since because it explains everything.myprecious posted:4/7/2010 9:58:46 PM Did anyone have the birds tested? Since they all had the same symptoms, these birds were definitely traveling together and were subjected to the same poison or some type of electrical charge possibly. Whatever did this to the birds, could be an environmental problem for the people living in that area.Chriswin2010 posted:4/8/2010 2:03:41 PM They all probably flew into an aircraft engine lol...gloria posted:4/9/2010 4:17:19 PM :AHHHHH........Exactly, my dear Jeff!!!!I too read the article, a witness (her neighbor) saw this hugh group of starlings then all of a sudden they came down at once, there was no plane, or any kind of kids flying gadget, or anything that you can see with your eyes...but yet it seems like they hit somting there. Later on in the day, they did a POST MORTEM. and that also was weird, the post mortem proved inconclusive, there show no toxins, that whould at least explain why they all fell, even if it was, let's say toxins, of anykind, I don't think that all will fall at the same time, that whould even more weird. So we can savely say, no toxins of yet, BUT!!! quess what they did find, physical injuries, broken wings, and shattered beaks...and curious yet, there claws was curled in, like they felt a horrible pain, all at the same time.Now let me tell you what I saw at history channel of ufo. This happen in UK, one of the pilots was fying customers from one island to the main island, a trip that the pilot does everday for so many years. Never have he seen anything like what he saw on that day, not just him, but the customers too. To make a long story short, he said that he saw a cigar shape object that was no moving but staying still, it was to him and the others 100ft long, then it disappear wright in front of him...the object was higher and when he saw it again it was further away , something that no airplane or anything we have can do, (not that we know off )Chew on that for a while, and also, look in past history, of other flying birds that fell from the sky, all beaten, or flaten..... tapuout4985 posted:4/9/2010 5:37:13 PM I've continued doing research on this case and I still haven't found any evidence it was paranormal or ET. An EMP doesn't make sense because there hasn't been any mention of interference in electrical systems in the area, and the damage the birds sustained is consistent with a fall or flight from the sky directly to the ground. There are several environmental toxins that could kill a flight of birds and then leave the system before a blood analysis is performed including several naturally occurring cyanides. I still believe that the most probable situation is a natural toxin poisoned them. I find this to be very disturbing because it's a small step from animals being poisoned by nature to humans being poisoned by nature. Perhaps The Happening was as stupid as it seemed when I first watched it.hobobone posted:4/11/2010 10:53:06 PM In Blades, Maryland, USA...In my Uncles back yard we found at least 25 large dead Crows..They had curled feet and broken wings..we then went and looked in the neighbors back yards and found many more...there was a large corn field right behind my Uncles back yard..Later the authorities that be tested the Crows...What they found was the insecticide that they used in early spring to treat the corn field killed the Crows...There was a small article in the local paper about it..it was rather morbid and i felt bad for the Crows..Im not sure that the insectiside wasnt meant for the Crows..due to the fact that they can suppossedly pick apart a corn field...Sorry for spelling errors..Fragile Wracken..where is my spell check!jeff_stewart posted:4/21/2010 1:20:00 PM Hmm.... Aliens at it again, Could the EMF field around a Craft be so strong that it killed the birds?Shadow of Man posted:4/21/2010 9:09:49 PM I'd rather see a picture of the garden and surrounding area than the dead birds. If it's not something natural like herbicide or pesticide posioning, than we could be looking at something EMF or even energitic like a ley line or votex. A picture of the garden would have been much better.Sir Talkalot posted:4/23/2010 10:55:42 PM EMP? EMF? Vortex? Ley line?Do you guys realize what you are saying? EMP is an Electromagnetic Pulse and EMF is Electromagnetic Force. Can your minds even fathom how much energy it takes to create a magnetic wall so dense as to kill a bird by shattering its beaks and breaking their wings? Ley Lines are also alleged magnetic fulx lines that go from one point to another on land, same question as before. An a Vortex is either going to suck in or spit out something. I serously doubt the birds would of had any feathers had they been sucked in by a Vortex. Ever seen a hurricane or tornado in action?These birds probably just flew into the ground since they do the same as sheep, they follow the leader wherever he may go (twinges of Peter Pan songs here) and the leader may not have gone where he needed to...Peacewired_badger posted:4/24/2010 6:02:50 AM bleeding beaks is the clue, disorientation is the other.flopping around..some gas bubble in the atmosphere.providing less stability.the theory of the bermuda triangle perhaps.some ion gas bubble maybe that didnt provide the required thrust upwards due to the weaker density of the gas.lack of oxygen and possibly just plain poisionous.the theory as it stands in bermuda triangle is that loads of methane goes up due to rotting sea vegetations and this creates a pocket of none air, making it impossible for props on planes and boats to stay up.can also screw up sensory do to the positively charged ions.be my guess, unless they isolate a pathology.

A National Pesticide Loss Database was created for use as a look-up table for estimates of pesticide losses from farm fields in leachate and runoff. Estimates are available for specific pesticides, soil groups, and climatic regions. The database allows for a more precise determination of the potential for pesticide loss than the Soil-Pesticide Interaction Screening Procedure (SPISP).
Estimates are available for mass loss and annual concentration. Estimates of concentrations can be contrasted to protective thresholds (such as drinking water standards) to provide insight on the level of environmental risk associated with pesticide use on specific soils.
The database is designed for use in conjunction with watershed models to target priority areas that may be in need of additional conservation practices aimed at reducing environmental risk.
Pesticide leaching and runoff losses were estimated using the pesticide fate and transport model GLEAMS 1. GLEAMS is a process model that uses as inputs soil parameters, field characteristics, management practices, pesticide properties, and climate to estimate pesticide leaching and runoff losses.
GLEAMS estimates were generated for 243 pesticides applied to 120 generic soils for 20 years of daily weather from each of 55 climate stations. This resulted in 1,603,800 runs of 20 years each, or 32,076,000 years of estimates. Pesticide runoff was movement beyond the edge of the field, including both pesticides in solution and pesticides adsorbed to soil material and organic matter. Pesticide leaching was movement beyond the bottom of the root-zone. Separate GLEAMS estimates were made for irrigated and nonirrigated conditions. The model estimates irrigation timing and amounts depending on soil moisture. The crop in these simulations was a generic row crop behaving similar to corn, soybeans, cotton, or sorghum, planted in straight rows.
The daily mass of pesticide that was removed by leaching or runoff in solution or runoff with sediment were recorded for each model run, and summed for each year. The daily volume of water that leached below the root-zone or flowed beyond the edge of the field was recorded and summed over the year, and the daily mass of sediment loss was recorded and summed over the year. Final pesticide loss results are reported as 1) the percentage of total mass of pesticide applied, and 2) the annual concentration of pesticide leaving the field, expressed as the percentage of total mass of pesticide applied per million parts of water or sediment.
The 120 generic soils were selected on the basis of soil texture and organic matter content. Twelve textures were combined with four organic matter contents for surface horizons. Four textures were used for subsurface horizons, which were not coarser in texture than the surface horizon. Organic matter content of a subsurface horizon was 20 percent of the surface horizon. The thirty horizon combinations times four organic matter contents made up 120 soils, summarized in Table 1. The hydrologic group (HG) was assigned according to subsurface texture. Using tables found in the GLEAMS manual and relations in the USDA Soil Survey Handbook, the other soil parameters required by GLEAMS were estimated. The Curve Number (CN) is also required, and was assigned as shown in Table 1.
GLEAMS includes a climate generator that simulates daily rainfall and temperature. Fifty-five climatic stations across the United States were chosen (Map 1). The program generates daily weather using the mean, standard deviation, and skew for monthly precipitation, maximum temperature, minimum temperature, and the mean and standard deviation of monthly solar radiation. Two other monthly values required are: 1) the probability of having a wet day after a wet day, and 2) the probability of having a dry day after a wet day. A twenty year record was simulated with the climate generator from a 40-year frequency distribution to produce a distribution of pesticide loss estimates that would reasonably represent most weather conditions.
Planting and harvest dates were estimated for each of the 55 climate stations based on mean and standard deviation of monthly low temperatures from the climatic record. This calculation was accomplished in a spreadsheet by:
GLEAMS results were simulated for the 243 pesticides in the SCS/ARS/CES pesticide properties database 2. The pesticide database is included in the GLEAMS model pesticide parameter editor, including foliar characteristics constructed using the procedure by Willis and McDowell 3. The Insect Control Guide 4 and the Weed Control Guide 5 were used to define the action of each compound, when applied, how frequently applied, and recommended rates and methods of application.
Pesticide application timing was based on the planting date, harvest date, and purpose. Pesticide application method was based on planting date and purpose. Some herbicides were designated only for pre-plant application and some only for post-plant application. Those herbicides with applications designated as "all methods" were included with the pre-emergent herbicides. Preplant pesticides were simulated with application seven days before planting. Pre-emergent pesticides were simulated with application on the planting date. Post-plant pesticides were simulated with application fourteen days after the planting date. Over the top insecticides, fungicides, and miticides were simulated in 3 repeat applications commencing after one third of the growing season was completed. For example, an insecticide with a recommended repeat application every five days was first applied one-third of the way through the growing season, and then repeated every five days for a total of three applications. Growth regulators were applied after one fourth of the growing season was completed. Defoliants were applied 5 days before harvest date.
Some soil insecticides and nematicides were incorporated in the soil; some surface applied, and some applied over-the-top of foliage. The SCS/ARS/CES pesticide properties database also includes growth regulators and defoliants, both of which are applied on foliage. The insecticides used as foliar applications were applied at label recommended frequency. The Insect Control Guide included recommendations on the frequency of application, i.e. 3-5 days, 5 days, or 7 days. In GLEAMS, insecticides were applied every 3 days for the 3-5 day recommendation, every 5 days for the 5 day recommendation, and every 7 days for the 7 day recommendation.
Output from the GLEAMS simulations included annual estimates of:
The mass loss was expressed as a percentage of the amount applied so that loss estimates could be derived for any application rate. This is necessary because, in practice, application rates often vary from the recommended rates. This also provides the flexibility to apply different application rates across the country to reflect differences in use, or to simulate the effects of proposed policies on pesticide loss. Similarly, the annual concentration was expressed as a ratio of concentration to the mass of pesticide applied so that, when multiplied by the application rate in kilograms per hectare, the concentration in PPM would be obtained.
The 20-year distribution of mass loss and concentration estimates were used to derive prediction equations corresponding to any percentile of the distribution. The maps shown here were generated using the 95th percentile, which is the mass loss or concentration that would be expected to be exceeded only five percent of the time.
The National Pesticide Loss Database was used with the National Resources Inventory (NRI) to simulate pesticide loss by watershed for use in identifying potential priority watersheds for implementation of conservation programs.
The NRI was used as a modeling framework and as a source of land use data and soil data. Each NRI sample point was treated as a "representative field" in the simulation model. The simulation was conducted using 13 crops-barley, corn, cotton, oats, peanuts, potatoes, rice, sorghum, soybeans, sugar beets, sunflowers, tobacco, and wheat-which comprise about 170,000 NRI sample points. The statistical weights associated with the NRI sample points are used as a measure of how many acres each "representative field" represents. Land use for the most recent inventory-1992-was used.
Pesticide use data were taken from Gianessi and Anderson, who estimated the average application rate and the percentage of acres treated by state for over 200 pesticides and for 84 crops for the time period 1990-93. Estimates of percent acres treated and application rate were imputed onto NRI sample points by state and crop. Map 2 was created by multiplying the percent acres treated times the acres represented by each point to obtain the acres treated for each pesticide, and then multiplying by the application rate and summing over the pesticides at each NRI sample point to obtain the total pounds of pesticides applied. These results were aggregated over NRI sample points in each 8-digit hydrologic unit in the 48 states.
Estimates of pesticide loss from the National Pesticide Loss Database were imputed onto the 170,000 sample points according to soil type, geographic location, and pesticide. Mass loss and annual concentration were calculated for each pesticide at each sample point. Mass loss estimates were then aggregated over acres treated in each watershed to produce national maps.
Concentrations were compared to water quality thresholds to derive a measure of environmental risk at each NRI sample point. Health Advisories (HAs) and Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) were used for humans for pesticides that have been assigned drinking water standards by EPA. For other pesticides, "safe" thresholds were estimated from EPA Reference Dose values and cancer slope data. Maximum Acceptable Toxicant Concentrations (MATCs) were used as "safe" thresholds for fish, which were calculated using toxicity data published by EPA.
The extent to which the concentration exceeded the threshold was used as a measure of risk for each pesticide. This risk measure was aggregated over the pesticides at each point and then multiplied by the number of acres treated and summed over the points in each watershed to obtain an aggregate risk measure for each watershed--Threshold Exceedence Units (TEUs) per watershed. TEUs are similar in concept to the acre-feet volumetric measure, since they are a multiple of acres times a measure of magnitude at a point. They are used here only to measure relative risk from one watershed to another; the higher the TEU score, the higher the risk.
The potential loss of pesticides from farm fields in pounds per watershed was estimated, shown in Maps 3, 4, and 5. The greatest potential for leaching loss is concentrated in the southeast and the Mississippi Embayment. The greatest potential for runoff loss--both dissolved and adsorbed--is concentrated in the midwest and the Mississippi Embayment.
TEUs per watershed for leachate determined using water quality thresholds for humans (drinking water standards) are shown in Map 6, and TEUs for leachate determined using safe thresholds for fish are shown in Map 10. The risk to humans is greater than the risk to fish. Watersheds with the greatest TEUs for both humans and fish are generally in the southeast.
The percent of the land in the watershed (nonfederal rural land) where the annual pesticide concentrations exceeded one or more threshold value, or a multiple of threshold values, is an alternative approach to identifying potential priority watersheds. Maps 7, 8, and 9 show the percent area where leaching concentrations exceed a multiple of 1, 3, and 5 times the water quality threshold for humans, respectively. (A multiple of 1 indicates that the concentration exceeded the threshold for one or more pesticides, and a multiple of 3 indicates that the concentration was 3 times the threshold for one or more pesticides.) As the multiple is increased, the maps focus in on the watersheds most at risk. The TEU maps, however, are a generally superior measure of risk because it is calculated by aggregating over all the pesticides, whereas the percent area maps may only involve a few or a single pesticide. Similar maps are presented for fish in Maps 11, 12, and 13. The distribution of acres by state are presented in Tables 2 and 3.
TEUs per watershed for runoff determined using water quality thresholds for humans are shown in Map 14, and TEUs for runoff determined using safe thresholds for fish are shown in Map 18. A comparison of these maps to Maps 6 and 10 shows that the risk from runoff is much greater than the risk from leaching. Watersheds with the greatest TEUs for humans are concentrated in the midwest and the Mississippi Embayment. Watersheds with the greatest risk to fish occur scattered throughout the agricultural area.
The percent of the land in the watershed (nonfederal rural land) where the annual pesticide concentrations in runoff exceeded one or more threshold value, or a multiple of threshold values, is shown in Maps 15, 16, and 17 for humans and Maps 19, 20, and 21. for fish. Multiples of 1, 10, and 25 are shown to focus on the watersheds most at risk. Using a multiple of 25 (indicating that the concentration exceeded 25 times the threshold for one or more pesticides), Maps 17 and 21 show that there is some correspondence between priority watersheds for humans and fish (Iowa, Mississippi Embayment), but there are also marked differences (West Texas, Atlantic Coastal Plain). The distribution of acres by state are presented in Tables 4 and 5.
A recent cooperative study of atrazine loss in Texas provided a unique opportunity to compare the TEU estimates to measured atrazine concentrations (see map 22). This study was with the Texas Natural Resource and Conservation Commission (TNRCC) and the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board. Atrazine concentrations were measured by the TNRCC at the intake of water treatment plants. The location of each water intake was used to assign it to a hydrologic unit, but it may not always be the principal hydrologic unit where the water originated. The values represented in map 22 for maximum atrazine levels are the maximum value measured over a two-year period. Values greater than 3 ppb were usually single measurements.
The map of Threshold Exceedence Units for atrazine shows the potential 95th percentile concentration dissolved in runoff (see map 23). Since this shows a 1-in-20 year event, it is not directly comparable to the 2 years of data collected by the TNRCC. In addition, the TEU map will show a score for a watershed even if it represents only a few (or one) NRI sample points, which would likely not be significant at the watershed scale.
Nevertheless, a correlation is apparent. There were only two watersheds where the TNRCC found atrazine above .01 ppb that did not have a TEU score. Several watersheds with atrazine measurements above 2 ppb corresponded with the highest watershed TEU scores in the state.
The comparison of these two maps confirms that the hydrologic units with highest TEU values, and thus the greatest potential for risk to drinking water from runoff, are the areas with the greatest probability of having measurable levels of pesticides in the water.

Menstrual Synchrony: Do Girls Who Go Together Flow Together?
When women live together, do their menstrual cycles tend to synchronize? It's been a long time since I first heard that claim. I didn't believe it, for a number of reasons. I had never observed it myself, I saw no plausible mechanism to explain how it could happen, I thought the statistics to prove it would be problematic and complicated, and I suspected that confirmation bias and selective memory might have persuaded people that a spurious correlation existed. How often do women say "Oh, look! We're having our periods at the same time"? How often do they say "Oh, look! We're having our periods at different times"? Now that many years have passed since my first encounter, I thought it would be fun to revisit the claim and see whether science has supported it or rejected it.
A perusal of PubMed and other Internet sources left me confused and amused. (more…)

Police search for Shrewsbury womanMay 10,2013Police looking
for local woman
Police are asking for help in locating a Shrewsbury woman who may be in distress, according to the Rutland County Sheriffs Department.
Police said Jessica N. Lennon, 36, asked a convenience store clerk in Clarendon for help and acted strangely during her visit to the store at about noon Monday.
Seven hours later, Sheriffs Department Sgt. David Fox said, police reached Lennon by phone in New Jersey, where she said she was fine.
Despite that assurance, Fox said police have concerns about her welfare and are hoping to talk to her again.

Global challenges can only be tackled collaboratively: energy security, protection of the environment and climate and eradication of poverty are matters that no‑one can resolve by going it alone. Renewable energy has a key role to play in that joint effort. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) promotes the development of regenerative energy around the world. Germany played a key role in founding the agency, which, at a membership of currently 135, is a great success. moreIRENA: Promoting renewable energy worldwide

- Title
- Evolution of group galaxies from the first red-sequence cluster survey
- Author(s)
- Li, I. H.; Yee, H. K. C.; Hsieh, B. C.; Gladders, M.
- Abstract
- We study the evolution of the red-galaxy fraction (f red) in 905 galaxy groups with 0.15 ≤ z < 0.52. The galaxy groups are identified by the "probability friends-of-friends" algorithm from the first Red-Sequence Cluster Survey (RCS1) photometric-redshift sample. There is a high degree of uniformity in the properties of the red sequence of the group galaxies, indicating that the luminous red-sequence galaxies in the groups are already in place by z ~ 0.5 and that they have a formation epoch of z 2. In general, groups at lower redshifts exhibit larger f red than those at higher redshifts, showing a group Butcher-Oemler effect. We investigate the evolution of f red by examining its dependence on four parameters, one of which can be classified as intrinsic and three of which can be classified as environmental: galaxy stellar mass (M *), total group stellar mass (M *, grp, a proxy for group halo mass), normalized group-centric radius (r grp), and local galaxy density (Σ5). We find that M * is the dominant parameter such that there is a strong correlation between f red and galaxy stellar mass. Furthermore, the dependence of f red on the environmental parameters is also a strong function of M *. Massive galaxies (M * 1011 M & 9737;) show little dependence of f red on r grp, M *, grp, and Σ5 over the redshift range. The dependence of f red on these parameters is primarily seen for galaxies with lower masses, especially for M * 1010.6 M ☉. We observe an apparent "group down-sizing" effect, in that galaxies in lower-mass halos, after controlling for galaxy stellar mass, have lower f red. We find a dependence of f red on both r grp and Σ5 after the other parameters are controlled. At a fixed r grp, there is a significant dependence of f red on & 0931;5, while r grp gradients of f red are seen for galaxies in similar Σ5 regions. This indicates that galaxy group environment has a residual effect over that of local galaxy density (or vice versa), and both parameters need to be considered. This result suggests that processes identified with local galaxy density, such as galaxy harassment and mergers, and those associated with accretion into a larger group halo, such as ram pressure and strangulation, are both partaking in driving galaxies to their final red quiescent state. We discuss these results in the context of the "nature versus nurture" scenario of galaxy evolution.

text: DD will be 14mo this weekend and I'm thinking about night weaning. Originally DH and I had discussed trying Dr Jay Gordon's method around Thanksgiving time (since we both have an extended time off from work and could deal with a fussy kid and sleepless nights more easily). But I realized this morning that when DH helped with one of DDs night wakings last night (the 2nd of 3) that she didn't cry like she usually does when he shows up instead of me. He took her to the guest room, lied down with her and they both drifted back off to sleep. She used to scream bloody murder until I came in and nursed her. So, I'm thinking that perhaps this is a good window of opportunity to night wean. I suggested to DH that tonight perhaps he responds to all of her night wakings (there's usually 2 or 3) and see what happens (instead of Gordon's method). I'm not to the point that I have to do this for my own sanity but I REALLY could use a good night sleep for once and I'm kinda worried that if I don't seize what could be a good opportunity that I'll kick myself down the rode if I reach a point that I really can't handle night nursing any more. Oh, and for once she isn't teething (she had been getting in a least one tooth a month since 6mos) or sick or reaching some major milestone. So, yeah, am I crazy to see this as a window of opportunity?

We're looking for new members. Emerald Nightmare is done, and we have a couple of months til something new comes out. We'd like to try our hand at Mythic raiding. Not expecting to be a full clear super hardcore guild. Just to have some fun working on things together. This is a new venture for us, so we're open to applicants who also haven't had a chance to try mythic raiding.
Here's the long short of who we are as a guild. I'll try to keep it brief and to the point instead of endlessly listing our amazing achievements and trying to razzle dazzle you into joining our team.
We've been around in one form or another since Mid-TBC. We've been raiding solidly in our current state since early MoP, achieving all ahead of the curve achievements in both MoP and WoD. Our numbers dipped a bit (a lot) with the large player dropout that occured in WoD, but Legion is great and everything is on the up and up. We're back into our element..
Our guild is very social outside of raiding. We have a couple of marriages to speak of that spurred from the guild, long lasting friendships and all that candy coated stuff. We do a yearly (sometimes twice a year) real life meet up that we refer to as Minus Fifteencon. We have an active facebook group, and we hang out on mumble regularly outside of raids. So if thats your thing, I guess we have it!
We're looking for applicants that excel in whatever role it is they play. Someone who takes the game seriously, shows up on time, researches fights, has consumables, can take constructive criticism. We clear content efficiently and have fun doing so. Our focus is heroic level raiding, but we're now eager to have a god at Mythic raiding and start kicking butt in there.
We currently raid Tuesday/Thursday at 9 PM CST.
We're adding optional (but encouraged) scheduled events each Wednesday and Saturday for clearing as much Kara and Mythic plus as possible.
Our current needs are strictly for ranged DPS. One with a geared/able healer offspec would be perfect.
High Need:
Shadow Priest
Medium Need:
Elemental Shaman
Dalthar/Segata (that's me) mmcleister#1115
Cerwyn sueshi#1637
Tiktiki Lyntiki#1261
Kassak ZeroCaliber#1576
tl;dr: We're fun, we're pretty laid back, we're pretty good at the game, and we're recruiting a whole bunch of DPS.

Almost Heroes - Area 52
2 Night Raiding Guild / 8 Hours
Raid Times: (CST)
Sunday: 9pm-1am
Monday: 9pm-1am
Formed in December 2015
HFC: 10/13M - US 1300, Realm 34 (3 raid weeks spent in Mythic)
About Almost Heroes:
We believe in pushing content at a pace that is comfortable but still competitive. By the end of Nighthold, we intend to be sub US 200, and unlike most guilds that you will see in the recruitment forums, we are going to do what it takes to get there. When you join Almost Heroes, you can expect to fully clear each tier.
Our definition of hardcore raiding is making the most out of our time together. Since we only raid 8 hours each week, it is up to each member to come completely prepared for the fights that we'll be working on. Raiders are expected to be highly self-motivated, and willing to find out the latest theorycraft data on their classes. Raiders should always be pushing themselves to improve with each raid week, and should never be satisfied with their performance.
Every raider is required to have at least one raid-ready alt that they can play just as well as their main for split runs and/or better comp selections. Your alt must also cover the same role as your main. For example, healer/healer, tank/tank, etc.
Current Roster Needs for Emerald Nightmare:
Ranged DPS:
-Balance Druid
-MM Hunter
-Shadow Priest
All exceptional players are encouraged to apply regardless of what we're currently recruiting
We do not recruit for the bench, if your application is accepted it means that we believe that there is a spot that can be earned, unless we mention otherwise on your application.
All applications are handled on our website. When submitted, check back on it often, we'll be asking you questions and will follow up with you through it. Put time and effort on your application, it's our first (and often only) impression of you. Make it count!

<Toontown Refugees> (A, 7/7H, 3/3N) is a tight-knit guild looking to complete our Mythic roster. We're looking for a few great DPS (melee and ranged both, bonus for strong AOE and cleave specs), ilevel 860 and above. Our core players are longtime raiders, with a few of us having full Mythic clears of earlier expansion tiers. Most of us have been playing since BC, and we're looking to complete Mythic this expansion!
We raid Sunday from 8:00 PM to 12:00 AM (EST) and Monday from 8:15 to 12:00. All of us are adults and most of us have full-time jobs or classes, so we don't expect people to commit too much out-of-raid time for excessive preparation, but we do expect all raiders to bring their own flasks, food, potions and runes each night. We take the time we are raiding seriously, and want recruits who can stay focused on the task at hand and know how to perform well at their spec and role, so as to respect their fellow raiders' time. However, it is a video game in the end, and we try to keep fun in sight as we progress.
In addition, we have plenty of members who do high Mythic+s, PVP and achievement runs on a regular basis. We've got a dedicated Discord server and enough people (both progression raiders and more casual players) to always find a group for any activity you could think of.
If you're interested or want more information, contact me via Battle.net at KingCohort#1123 for a chat. Thanks for reading!

Man dies when snowmobile goes through ice
Hayward Fire Department responded by airboat
Published On: Dec 27 2012 06:56:43 PM CST
A 55-year-old Hayward man has died after the snowmobile he was riding went through the ice in Sawyer County.
Steven Sisko was reported missing just after 5 a.m. Monday. A search was organized, and a helicopter crew spotted a body in a hole in the ice on the Chippewa Flowage at 11 a.m.
The sheriff's office says members of the Hayward Fire Department responded by airboat and found Sisko dead.
The Duluth News Tribune reported Sisko was an owner of Sisko's Pine Point Resort.

Course Overview
This course provides a basic understanding of the financial activities of governments at all levels in the United States. It is usually taken during the first year. The course acquaints students with the purposes, characteristics, processes, and operations of financial management systems and develops their capabilities to analyze financial operations, coordinate such operations with relevant public policies and programs, and effectively manage the financial resources of public entities. Topics in the course include: the economic, political, and administrative environment of financial management systems and operations; budgeting theory and practice--including program and performance budgets; accounting and internal control; financial reporting; auditing--financial and performance; debt management; capital budgeting; treasury and cash management; and revenue/tax administration.
Section Description
This course is an introduction to the theory and practice of public financial management at all levels of government. Its objective is to develop student capabilities in the analysis of financial operations and the management of public sector financial resources The course will cover the principles of finance, economics, accounting and fiscal administration. A major part of the course will be devoted to understanding the basic financial reports of governments ñ their budgets and their annual reports. Other topics include taxes and other revenues, bonds and other forms of debt, investments, capital budgeting, performance evaluation and auditing.
The course format will primarily be lectures, but extensive student interaction is expected. It will require homework assignments prior to each class meeting and a semester project. There will be a mid-semester exam and final.
Inasmuch as a substantial portion of the course focuses on financial statements, students will be at a decided advantage of they come to the course with understanding of fundamental concepts of accounting. To this end, if students do not have a background in accounting (e.g. have never had an accounting course) they are strongly advised to take a computer-based course in the subject. To assess whether they need the course, the instructor has arranged an on-line assessment test. Details about both the course and the test will be available from either the graduate advisor or the instructor.

- The H I gas content of galaxies around Abell 370, a galaxy cluster at z = 0.37

- Abstract
- We used observations from the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope to measure the atomic hydrogen gas content of 324 galaxies around the galaxy cluster Abell 370 at a redshift of z= 0.37 (a look-back time of ∼4 billion years). The H i 21 cm emission from these galaxies was measured by co-adding their signals using precise optical redshifts obtained with the Anglo-Australian Telescope. The average H i mass measured for all 324 galaxies is (6.6 ± 3.5) × 109 M⊙ , while the average H i mass measured for the 105 optically blue galaxies is (19.0 ± 6.5) × 109 M⊙ . The significant quantities of gas found around Abell 370 suggest that there has been substantial evolution in the gas content of galaxy clusters since redshift z= 0.37 . The total amount of atomic hydrogen gas found around Abell 370 is up to approximately eight times more than that seen around the Coma cluster, a nearby galaxy cluster of similar size. Despite this higher gas content, Abell 370 shows the same trend as nearby clusters that galaxies close to the cluster core have lower H i gas content than galaxies further away where the galaxy density is lower. The optically blue galaxies contain the majority of the H i gas surrounding the cluster. However, there is evidence that the optically red galaxies contain appreciable quantities of H i gas within their central regions. The Abell 370 galaxies have H i mass-to-optical-light ratios similar to local galaxy samples and have the same correlation between their star formation rate and H i mass as found in the nearby galaxies. The average star formation rate derived from [O ii] emission and from deredshifted 1.4 GHz radio continuum for the Abell 370 galaxies also follows the correlation found in the local Universe. The large amounts of H i gas found around the cluster can easily be consumed entirely by the observed star formation rate in the galaxies over ∼4 billion years (from z= 0.37 ) to the present day. Abell 370 appears set to evolve into a gas-poor system similar to galaxy clusters observed in the local Universe.

Ready to (finally) create your first audio information product?Written by Caleb Scoville on June 30, 2009 – 10:23 am -
Ok, I get it!
Other things get in the way - life, work, family. The life of an entrepreneur can get busy and sometimes "non-urgent" items can find themselves at the end of a 10-mile long "to-do list".
But here's the thing - if you're a coach, consultant, therapist, online marketer, service provider (or just about any kind of business owner for that matter) you are losing money big time if you don't have an information product.
I'm not necessarily saying that selling information products will make you thousands directly right away. The really important thing about info products that people often miss is that they can act as a "low hanging fruit" for interested customers or clients that may not be quite ready to take you up on your higher-end offers, services or programs.
Having a free or low cost info product is your first step to building your list. Nobody wants to get your ezine or get email updates from you. That doesn't mean that they don't care about what you have to offer - it just means that they have too much email as it is AND that they want to be served on their terms - NOT YOURS.
Offering someone a free or low-cost information product can act as a teaser of your other products or services. It's a simple way of providing instant value to your prospective buyers, attracting those who are ideal fits for you and repelling those who you shouldn't work with.
You can then follow up with those interested prospects via email, direct mail or other means until they purchase from you or opt-out. It's that simple.
If you'd like to get started with your first (or next) information product, but have been putting it off for way too long or aren't sure where to start (or get stuck somewhere in the process), I have a great resource for you.
It's The 6 Simple Steps to Create Your First (or Next) Audio Information Product. I created a quick (and free) video tutorial series on how to easily create your very own audio info product from concept to compact disc so that you can easily attract more paying customers and clients, establish yourself as an expert in your field and build more buzz around your business.
P.S. Here's that link again: http://www.northbankaudio.com/audioinfoproduct/. Make sure to go grab the videos now because I know you'll just put it off otherwise
