Dark Igloo create fabulous 450ft mural on Google HQ representing history of Chelsea, NY
Arty attempts to spruce up building work can often be a bit cringeworthy in the UK but over on the other side of the pond they do it bigger and better (see also burgers and arguing in public).
New York studio Dark Igloo have just created a 450ft illustrated mural for Google's headquarters in Chelsea, Manhattan, featuring significant moments and notable figures who have contributed to the neighbourhood's rich, cultural history. It's now been printed on vinyl and affixed to the scaffolding set up while inspectors carry out routine checks.
"A friend of ours at Google saw the scaffolding as a canvas and opportunity to show some love to their new home," Dark Igloo's Dave Franseze told us. "They reached out to us looking for piece about Chelsea. We never had to look much farther than the area's history for inspiration and I think that's ideal – when a project is interesting purely on its own merit.
"Every new bit we'd discover would link another artist or author we loved back to this place. All we really had to do was edit down that list."
But did the fantastic source material not bring its own pressures, seeing that Chelsea has links with a litany of obsessed-over cultural figures?
"Totally! The whole mural could've been dedicated just to The Hotel Chelsea given all the artists that've called that place home. You see all the names and works of art that've been created there or just a few blocks away – 2001: A Space Odyssey, On The Road – and paying homage to these things as honestly as possible was definitely important to us."
It only took a week for Dave and his team to create the illustration although some of the more ambitious ideas were felled by practicalities.
"The hardest bit was that – for a time – there were going to be characters and bits of artwork coming down from the mural and onto the scaffolding and street. Managing what those would be and how to make them work with the mural rather than against it was a challenge."
And of all the 450ft (or 137 metres) can Dave pick a favourite bit or is that unfair (like asking a parent to pick their favourite child)?
"I like the art heist, when the burglar cuts the telephone line and jumps out the window. I miss the good ol' days when people could just jump out the window to make a clean getaway."

- - My little boy is very little! (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/development-socialization/459138-my-little-boy-very-little.html)
My little boy is very little!
My 6 month old German Shepherd Capone is only about 35 lbs. I have no idea how big his parents were, and I got him from a pet store in the mall... probably not the best decision, no, but he is a great dog and we love him to death. He's had all his first year shots, doesn't have worms, and vet says he looks completely healthy other than being on the small side. He eats 4 cups of food a day and seems to burn right through it. Just wonder why he's so small when, in every other way, he looks completely pure bred to me. Thoughts?
Capone with my boyfriend:
He does have about at least 1.5 more years to grow. My shepherd is 54 lbs full grown at 3 years old. She didn't break 50 until she's well over 1 year old. There are shepherds in their 40s - full grown.
His ears are huge! I am sure he will grow into them!
He looks beautiful and purebred, too bad about the petstore though cause no way to check with breeder/littermates and get feedback on the lines/growth/size :)
But if you love him and he's fitting right into your house, THAT'S the important part! So just keep him fit, healthy, well socialized and trained so he's the dog for you no matter how large he ends up!
Hey, here's my 5 month old on her weekly socialization trip meeting her first monkey!!!

There are 905 comments on the Reuters story from Feb 3, 2012, titled Jobless rate at 3-year low as payrolls surge. In it, Reuters reports that:
The United States created jobs at the fastest pace in nine months in January and the unemployment rate unexpectedly dropped to a near three-year low, giving a boost to President Barack Obama.

"We have to look beyond the immediate crisis and start building an economy that lasts into the future -- an economy that creates good, middle-class jobs that pay well and offer security."

The Congress and President need to get on the ball authorizing more Work Visas from the H-1B down to Farm Visas plus give more hugh tax cuts to Corporation, etc who move their factories, etc to other countries.
How dare they slack doing their job and more Americans have jobs---why it is just a shame--why wages might go up.

All this is a bunch of political hype...sure the percentage will go down because it's based on available jobs. So all those businesses that have folded, or projects that have been halted, aren't counted.
#8 Feb 3, 2012
Awwww, you so disappointed that the jobs percentage are going down.
So what else can the GOP run on?
I get it, bin laddin is still alive.
newsflash, he is DEAD, thanks to Obama for giving the order to kill him unlike Gw Bush, arrest them and send them to gitmo.

There were 132,952,000 people working in December and 130,456,000 in January. So there were 2.5 million fewer jobs in January, and the unemployment rate went down? Only is government can you make this shit up.

Now go play in the corner, you are boring me.

Fun With Numbers!
You nitwits believe anything this administration throws at you.
Democrats are smart!
#12 Feb 3, 2012
The numbers are from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' own table, Numbnuts. From December to January, we lost two million jobs.
See, Obama is no dummy, but he knows the vast majority of his voting base are fcking retards like you who can't figure out 2+2, let alone the Bureau of Labor tables.
#13 Feb 3, 2012
So when the GW Bush Administration was telling US that we winining in IRAQ, you believed it..., right?
#14 Feb 3, 2012
Key word MORON. "Statistics", try to catch up with real news.
even fauxNews reported the job gains but you kinda deaf in one ear.
Sorry about that.
So did the dow close highest in how many months?

#15 Feb 3, 2012
So tax cuts don't create jobs? It's been 10 plus years....
#16 Feb 3, 2012
It does create jobs according to the GOP.

United States
#17 Feb 3, 2012
They might want to check the numbers again, most of the jobs are part time, and all together we lost 2,000,000 jobs in the same period of time. Did the idiots think we wouldn' check their claimes? They can pretend, and claim otherwise,but people are not stupid, and the more they lie the less respect Americans have for this administration.

Obama needs to go to Puerto Rico to learn from a Republican.
Puerto Rico hit the wall in 2006, well before the mainland United States did.
By some standards, the island economy (population: four million) was exemplary. With median household income of $18,300 (U.S.), one of the highest in North America, Puerto Rico was economically comparable with Poland or Latvia. But it was running a spiralling deficit (revenue:$6.6-billion a year; expenditures:$9.9-billion) that it could not sustain.
When the credit-rating agencies cut Puerto Rican bonds to junk, its government was compelled, for the first time in its history, to shut down. It sent 100,000 public-sector workers home, closed all of its 1,500 schools and shuttered 242 government agencies and departments.
As markets crashed around the world in 2007-2008, Puerto Rico imposed a 7-per-cent sales tax, prolonging and intensifying its economic anguish.
On Jan. 2, 2009, 18 days before the inauguration of U.S. President Barack Obama, Luis Fortuno assumed office in Puerto Rico, the first Republican governor in 50 years.
We were closer to the abyss than most states, Mr. Fortuno recalled in a recent interview with Deroy Murdock, a columnist with Scripps Howard News Service and a contributing editor with National Review online.
When I came into office, we were facing not just the worst recession since the Thirties, but the worst budget deficit in America, proportionally. We did not have enough money to meet our first payroll, Fortuno recalled.We had to take out a loan Facing a $3.3-billion deficit, Fortuno did something almost unprecedented in contemporary public finance:We cut expenses. He took a 10-per-cent pay cut; senior bureaucrats got a 5-per-cent reduction. He cut 20,000 public sector jobs permanently and more temporarily saving more than $900-million. In his first year in office, he slashed government spending, in absolute dollars, by 20 per cent.
Fortuno also cut taxes. He lowered the corporate tax rate to 30 per cent from 41 per cent (with further cuts coming in each of the next two years). Personal income tax rates dropped by 25 per cent (with further cuts coming in each of the next five years).
He gave homeowners a five-year property tax holiday, and scrapped capital gains and death taxes. Now in 2011, existing home sales increased by 35 per cent (compared with an average decline of 7.9 per cent in the continental states); new-home sales increased by 92 per cent (compared with an average decline of 9.9 per cent in the continental states).
To do anything in the old economy, Mr. Fortuno said,You needed to obtain 28 permits and go to 20-plus different agencies to do that. Today, you need go to only one agency for a permit.
Another fundamental reform, he transferred public sector workers from old-fashioned, statist defined-benefit pensions to market-friendly, defined-contribution pensions.
The transformation of Puerto Ricos dysfunctional economy has begun to attract attention. Retailers such as Nordstom, PetSmart, Saks Fifth Avenue and Victorias Secret have announced store openings in San Juan in 2012. Honeywell International and Merck & Co. have announced expansion of their manufacturing operations on the island.
Standard & Poors has upgraded Puerto Ricos credit rating to positive from stable its first upgrade in 28 years. Moodys took Puerto Rico bonds back to triple-A, the highest rating in 35 years. We moving in the right direction, Fortuno said.So we can keep lowering taxes.
In three years, P.R. deficit has been reduced to $600-million from $3.3-billion. In 2009, its deficit equalled 44 per cent of its revenue; in 2011, it stands at 7 per cent. In 2009, as a ratio of deficit to revenue, Puerto Rico ranked 51st among American states, at the bottom of the pack. In 2011, it ranked 15th..

Companies love governors who sign a law ending mandatory union membership.
I'm not a big pro-union person, neither am I totally anti-union, but many corporations with very large profit margins and very well paid CEO's want workers to work for low wages.
In some cases there have been union jobs with folks getting too much and job sites with unions making ridiculous demands, but I think the time is coming in North America where wages that saw you live comfortably and also be able to save is coming to an end.
One company here in Canada wanted it's union to take a 50% pay cut. Yet the company made $5 billion in profits last quarter(58% increase), and it's CEO paid $10.5 million.....the company moved to Indiana where the governor has done away with mandatory union membership.

Stats can so easily be manipulated, but this is ridiculous. Even the anchors on FOXNEWS are raving about how good this news is that unemployment is finally being reduced. You'd think media would put one of their "investigative reporters" on detail to figure it out...

Friday's Top Ten
10. It was a dark and stormy night.
9. Once upon a time. . . .
8. It all began long before she was born, when her great-great-grandmother. . . .
7. The story I'm about to tell you. . . .
6. He answered the phone, but little did he know. . . .
5. He yawned and stretched after turning off his alarm.
4. Her heart pounded when the bullet zinged by her head, but then she woke up.
3. She ran toward the subway, her long raven hair flying behind her, afraid of missing her train and not thinking about her breakup with Eddie.
2. He was tired, wet, and hungry.
And the #1 wisest way not to start your story:
1. Once upon a time, it was a dark and stormy night. The story I'm going to tell you began long ago when her great-grandmother ran toward the subway, her long raven hair flying behind her, afraid of missing her train and not thinking about her breakup with Edward, who was tired, wet, and hungry. Her heart pounded when the bullet zinged by her head, but then she woke up. Edward yawned and stretched after turning off his alarm and answered the phone, but little did he know. . . .

I wonder truly if a story is doomed to fail because its unwary author began it with one of those old tired intros. Possibly an editor would stop right there, but readers would not be as turned off. Of course, readers read published materials, which editors (I think) select.
My daughter once wrote a fantasy short story that I thought was really good. She wrote one line that may not have been overly used or used at all, and may have been uniquely hers. Whatever, I loved it and teased her about it and do to this day. When something bad happens, I like to lighten it up by quoting her line in that story, "Something happened that NEVER should have happened!"
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

We can take one of these trite openings and twist it to make it unique, or continue in the same paragraph to show a different meaning than the words suggest, or something else original. Anything less most likely equals a 'no thanks.'

Interference with Delta Geography Enabled Katrina's Devastation
"[A]s geographer Richard Campanella makes plain in his new book, Delta Urbanism: New Orleans, the immediate catastrophe - the one that could not be ignored, that attracted international attention and inspired relief efforts and planning proposals and federal promises - has given way to the slow-building potential for future catastrophe - one that seems all too easy to ignore. For the underlying conditions that caused the devastation remain much the same. Not only are the flood-protection systems that have been constructed to protect the low-lying city pathetically inadequate - "under-engineered, cavalierly inspected and poorly maintained," in Campanella's words; still more, a century of intensive environmental manipulation has neutralized or destroyed the natural systems - the coastal wetlands, barrier islands, etc. - that would buffer the effects of seasonal storms and cyclical flooding."
Campanella documents the days leading up to the flooding and how human interference with the area's delta environment enabled the destruction.

Interview with Gary Bury (Mediaburst)
Mediaburst is a leading provider of SMS, MMS and mobile marketing services.
I interviewed Gary Bury, Mediaburst Managing Director to find out more. This interview is the hundred and tenth in a series of DW interviews. Big thank you to Gary for the interview!
How would you describe Mediaburst in under 50 words?
A great place to work, my job and my hobby all rolled into one. We're a text message provider, we sell text messages and web applications to businesses.
Describe yourself in one sentence.
I'm a nice guy and pretty easy going.
What brought you to Mediaburst?
I was taken on as Finance Director in 2006. There had been a stack of regulation changes through which the company lost a huge chunk of revenue and profit. It was a tough time because we had to restructure the company to the changing circumstances pretty quick. Although most than half the employees were made redundant those that remained were really committed, without them it might have been a different story.
Tell us about some of Mediaburst's products.
Textburst is a simple app for sending text messages. It's a bit like a Gmail account but sends text messages. Ideal for SMS marketing and sending out customer service updates.
We also have a text message API. If you are not techy it won't mean much, it's a mechanism for software developers to link their own apps to Mediaburst so they can send text messages.
We also have a new product launching now, it's called Timetastic. It's an online staff leave planner. It replaces all your paper holiday forms and wall charts, it puts your company holiday system into a web and smartphone app. We're very excited about this, it's a very small simple application but very useful to small businesses.
You were shortlisted as a finalist for the Fast Growth Business Financial Director of the Year Award in 2008. What sort of growth did Mediaburst experience under your tenure?
If I recall the awards were based on a wide range of criteria; items such as profit and revenue growth, cash and debtor management, raising funds, and my overall impact on the strategy. Text message volumes increased by over 150% and revenue growth was over 100%. The cash management was a significant factor, we had to restructure the company and it's tax position, this freed up a significant amount of cash which made the company viable.
You were part of the management team that bought the business in 2006, and you were promoted to Managing Director in 2008. What challenges did you face in this new role, and how did you overcome them?
Yes and Yes. The biggest challenge (and most enjoyable) has been getting to grips with marketing the company. As an accountant I'm naturally conservative with our marketing spend and yet we've re-branded entirely and spend an increasing amount online, both in advertising and design work. Getting a good understanding of digital marketing and which channels are right for your business takes time. I hardly spend any time doing accountancy now, it's all about marketing.
Congratulations for winning a Big Chip Award for Best Public Sector Project and a Dadi Award for Best Use of Mobile with your healthcare application, Florence, in 2011. Where did the idea originate for this application?
The idea originated from within the NHS. They were using very expensive equipment to monitor people with heart disease at home. The equipment took their blood pressure, heart rate and blood oxygen levels 3 or 4 times per day and automatically sent it to their doctor over their landlines. Although effective the cost of the communications hardware meant they couldn't roll it out. What they do now is give them normal blood pressure and heart rate kit and get the patients to text their results in. It's a fraction of the cost and the patients love it because they're no longer tied to their home.
Who are some of your other customers?
Effectively the NHS. It's still early days but we have over 20 different NHS trusts using the system.
Do you have any new applications in the pipeline?
Timetastic is our current project, we're in public beta phase now, it's goes fully live on 1st July.
After that we have a huge branding exercise going on with our Text Message API. It's going to be called Clockwork and will introduce some improvements to our systems and allow a free signup mechanism. We also have a number of plugins and extensions in the pipeline for content management systems like WordPress.
What do you wish you'd have known 5 years ago that you know now?
I'd love to have understood digital marketing earlier, I think the company would have started to grow better from an earlier age.
Who would you say is your biggest competitor?
We don't care, not that I mean that as any disrespect to any of our competitors. I've met with and friendly with many of them. But we don't analyse them or worry about what they are doing. I like to think we plough our own path and our strategy and decisions are unaffected by what they are up to. You can get bogged down watching your competitors.
What does a typical day in your life look like?
My kids wake me up too early, I can't function until I've had a shower and a cup of tea. I spend most days in the office and I'm in by 8:30. Because we're a small company I get involved in anything and everything, you'll find me responding to customer service emails and sales leads, I'll be speaking to web designers and writing web copy. Although I'm not a developer I'm a sounding board for many of the decisions made in our technical department. My day can be very varied. I'm generally away by 17:30. We don't work late. We don't have that kind of culture, and I don't think it's necessary if you get your priorities and strategy set right. That said I do a lot of web research and reading at home in the evenings.
What's currently your favourite app?
In terms of use I spend a lot of time on the new Basecamp, and Zendesk for customer support. Although I don't use it much I think the new Barclays app Pingit is a big step forward for banks. Over the years they have become increasingly difficult to deal with, Pingit is very simple, I'm a fan of simple things.
Who did you last send a text message to?
It was to my Dad, it said, "How's your sting?"
He got stung by a bee yesterday, (fathers day).
Before that I texted "Go" to 84433. It's a short demo of Florence our healthcare app and we'd done some tweaks to it today.
What are you most excited about at the moment?
Timetastic. We've built it completely separate of all our other systems so it gives us greater flexibility to try different styles of marketing and technical provision. We'll use it to try different things, learn new things, then take what we learn and put them into our text message products.
I'm also excited about the designs for Clockwork, we're working with an agency called MarbleMedia, they guys there are great and the designs very cool.
Can you convince the reader to start using Mediaburst in under 50 words?
Probably not! I'm no sales man and don't do much face to face. Everything we do is on the web. Potential customers find us, we just try to show them how easy texting your customers is and how simple our applications are to use.
Finished reading? Check out Mediaburst!

Field Notes: Risk Adjusting Performance Measures
August 22, 2012
One of the challenges to measuring the performance of homelessness assistance programs is comparing performance between programs that serve different populations. Risk adjusted performance measures can help. Risk adjustment means that different performance standards are set for programs depending on the population they serve. For example, a program that serves people with no income would have fewer people exiting to permanent housing than a one that serves people who are currently employed.
One of the easiest ways to do risk adjustment is to base it on the barrier screening tools your community is using. Barrier screening tools are used to identify how many barriers a household has to moving into, and stabilizing in, permanent housing. Many communities are already using barrier screening tools them as part of a centralized intake or coordinated assessment process, and the new CoC regulations brought about by the HEARTH Act require that communities use some sort of a coordinated assessment process. (For those who are interested, here is an example of a barrier screening tool.)
If your barrier assessment tool has three categories, you can then use those categories to do the risk adjustment. For example, you could compare performance serving people in each category to other programs or benchmarks for that category. You might get an extra point for being above average, 2 extra points for being more than 10 percent above average, etc. You can also combine the categories using a weighted average.
Without something like a uniform barrier assessment process, things get a little trickier. An alternative would be to look at characteristics in your HMIS data, such as income or chronic homelessness. This will likely require an analysis of your data to determine what characteristics need to be adjusted for.
If you haven't read it, we have a good publication on performance measurement called What Gets Measured Gets Done: A Toolkit on Performance Measurement for Ending Homelessness, and there's a section on risk adjustment that starts on page 41.

|Tracey Moffat released a new series
|This summer Tracey Moffat released a new series "Under the Sign of Scorpio", 2005
But check first what the artist wrote about her works:
"AT A MOMENT'S GLANCE my photo series, Under the sign of Scorpio, depicts me appearing as forty well-known extraordinary, women from history and popular culture, all born under the astrological sign of Scorpio. Since I was born on November 12th and am also a Scorpio, I have been intrigued about what makes the Scorpio tick. It is such a powerful and intense sign: Scorpios can 'cross over' into dark worlds and come back unscathed. They are fearless and listen to no-one. I know that I often stare at people with their mouths moving and I am amazed that they are actually talking and giving me advice; I always have to say "Sorry, I didn't catch that".
The shooting of this Scorpio series, as well as the printing, has taken me six months. Six months taking in the entire New York winter of 2005, Six months cooped up in my small New York loft with Miyuki, my faithful assistant. (Miyuki has put up with my excitement over the making of this new work, plus all my whining and insecurities, which would greet her every morning as she walked in the door.) The actual shooting of each of the famous Scorpio characters would take two minutes, but the thinking and planning would take a couple of weeks, For example, becoming Georgia O'Keeffe required me to take on her 'attitude'. It isn't easy to present 'attitude' with your back to the camera, I thought about her morning Kimono-like dress, and what she would be doing with her hands (she's admiring them, of course)" Tracey Moffatt, 2005-09-16

Sponsored Tingles: Venus Looks – Fergie
Fergie is currently promoting the Black Eyed Peas new album The E.N.D. through Europe. Their first hit single Boom Boom Pow is currently #1 on the Billboard 100. You like it? Not really growing on me.
Anyway, the first set is Ferg in Paris on Wednesday, having worked off that imaginary weight she put on for Nine in the Hollywood Hills, where she was spotted hiking for 2 hours several times a week for weeks, showing off her legs, which she'll be doing more and more of as the release date approaches (June 9th) and as we get deeper and deeper into the summer.
Not even six months married and she's spending so much time away from home on promotion. This is showbiz. Besides, Josh Duhamel will be busy too. No doubt, he'll be on heavy press for Transformers starting, like, right now.
It's actually shaping up to be a very busy year for both of them. Following Transformers, Josh has another release When In Rome, a romantic comedy, in August and then he watches his wife walk into his world for Nine, Weinstein's highly anticipated release in November, that's expected to contend during awards season. Well no wonder they had 2 honeymoons.
The second set is Fergie last week at the American Idol finale in – oh no Michelle – blue sateen that's saved by her toned legs. But can they save her face?

battery life has been awful and the handset has been running hot. One iPhone 4S user reports that his battery life has dropped since the update from 7 hours to 5 hours while another reports that battery life on his iPhone 4S has dropped to 4 hours since the update. At least the connectivity issues seem to be repaired!
Besides the initial problems that were discovered with iOS 6.1 for the Apple iPhone 4S, other bugs have been discovered with the OS build such as the inability for users to sync with Microsoft's Exchange email service, and another that allows anyone to break into your Apple iPhone even if locked using a passcode. So we should see another update to take care of those problems with iOS 6.1 and the new battery issues that have sprung up on iOS 6.1.1. Apple is said to be aware of the problems which is at least one step in the right direction. Stay tuned!

I can vouch that the folks at Kelly are great people and very helpful (no, I don't work there). I live several hours away, but love to drive there to order and pick up supplies. I have spent quite a few hours there hanging out asking questions and talking to them about the bee biz. They've always been very friendly and helpful. I'll always order from them.
Once the bee is inside, Mr. Veil is no longer your friend.

— Border Patrol agents found the body of a man who apparently drowned while trying to enter the United States illegally at Imperial Beach, Calif., early Saturday, officials said.
The foreign national who was part of a group wearing wetsuits and fins and using self-propelled sea scooters to reach the shore by way of the Pacific Ocean, Sgt. David Ross, with the Imperial Beach Sheriff's Station, told NBC station KNSD.
Five or six men were first seen at about 6:30 a.m., Ross said. Shortly after that, Border Patrol agents took one of the men into custody and it was that man who said he and the drowning victim had tried to enter the country from Mexico.
The other men are believed to have either run off or swam back out to sea, said Ross.
Border Patrol Agent Steven Pitts told the San Diego Union Tribune that the Border Patrol and Coast Guard have stepped up patrols along the water to keep people from dying, he said.
"They were swimming in the ocean trying to make it to the beach," Pitts said. "This underscores the dangers of trying to cross through the ocean. It's so unpredictable."
The use of sea scooters, which can dive about 15 feet under water, was reported in early February as a novelty by Reuters and other news outlets.
Two men, 38 and 16 years old, walking on a beach south of San Diego were wearing wet suits and holding their scooters when they were spotted by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection helicopter.
"These devices can be used to come north along the coastline and steer into shore ... where they can meet someone who will pick them up in a vehicle and further their entrance into the United States," said Michael Jiminez, a Border Patrol spokesperson.
At the time, he noted that once-rare attempts to cross the border by water had doubled each year since 2008 as land crossings became more difficult.
Several groups were recently arrested after traversing ocean waters in pangas, long fishing boats used in Mexico, the Union-Tribune and other news agencis reported.
On Wednesday, 19 men and a woman, ages 24 to 55, suspected of entering the country illegally by a panga boat, were taken into custody at South Carlsbad State Beach.
Eleven people trying to enter off the coast of San Onofre State Beach were arrested early Tuesday morning after Border Patrol agents spotted their panga-style boat near Camp Pendleton.
In November 2009, agents arrested 21 suspected illegal immigrants, all Mexican nationals, seen in a 15-foot panga when they came ashore on Beacon's Beach, near Encinitas. It was the third boat interception in a week.
A month earlier, a small fishing boat dropped off 20 illegal immigrants on South Ponto Beach in Carlsbad, officials said.

Citation: Zhan, X., Liu, J., Holmes, T.R., Crow, W.T., Jackson, T.J., Chan, S. 2011. Why different passive microwave algorithms give different soil moisture retrievals. International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium Proceedings. August 1-5, 2011, Sendai, Japan. 2011 CDROM. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Several algorithms have been used to retrieve surface soil moisture from brightness temperature observations provided by low frequency microwave satellite sensors such as the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer on NASA EOS satellite Aqua (AMSR-E). Most of these algorithms have originated from the same land surface microwave emission model, frequently referred to as the tau-omega equation, and can be categorized as Single-Channel Retrieval (SCR) and Multi-Channel Inversion algorithms (MCI). Although both SCR and MCI algorithms are based on the same low-frequency microwave radiation transfer equation and applied to the same AMSR-E observations, the soil moisture data products generated with these algorithms are often quite different and it is difficult for one to claim superiority for all conditions in term of retrieval accuracy evaluated against in situ soil moisture measurements. With new L-band satellite brightness temperature observations becoming available from the ESA Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) and future NASA Soil Moisture Active/Passive (SMAP) missions, it is necessary to analyze the essential differences of these algorithms and find out how to develop a more robust/reliable one for the satellite sensors. This study implements the SCR algorithm by Jackson (1993) [1] and two MCI algorithms (one by Njoku & Li, 1999[2] and the other by de Jeu & Owe, 2003[3]) with the brightness temperature observations of AMSR-E for the contiguous United States for two years, 2003 and 2004. The top layer soil moisture simulations from the Noah land surface model [reference] that are forced by the best available atmospheric data are used to inverse various unknown ancillary parameters of the soil moisture retrieval algorithm. The retrievals from the three algorithms are then analyzed for various settings of algorithm parameters or input data against the original soil moisture values. The spatial and temporal variations of performance of the algorithms demonstrate their advantages and disadvantages under various circumstances. [1] T.J. Jackson.

LOS ALAMOS, N.M., Dec. 13, 1999 -- The consequences of catastrophic wildfires are so immediately visible and dramatic that it's easy to lose track of the long-range dangers being released into the air. A wildfire chemistry model being developed by scientists at the Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory will track the processes that can result in firefighters with compromised respiratory systems, air pollution visible for hundreds of miles and the slow, silent erosion of the planet's ozone layer.
"We are headed in a new direction," said Los Alamos scientist Manvendra Dubey. "Our fire modeling started as a crisis forecasting initiative where we modeled terrain, atmospheric conditions and heat, which creates its own wind, to predict wildfire behavior and enhance safety. Now we will be exploiting our fire safety modeling codes for air quality and climate change applications."
In a paper presented today at the American Geophysical Union fall meeting in San Francisco, Dubey and fellow Los Alamos scientist Rodman R. Linn described a scheme to track volatile organics released into the atmosphere from wood heating and burn simulations that will allow them to compute gas and smoke emissions from wildfires. These results, added to Los Alamos' wildfire model developed for fire safety applications, will allow prediction of effects on the air at a wide variety of distances.
Los Alamos is the only institution that has a physical and mechanistic model to simulate wildfires at extremely high resolution on scales as small as a few meters. Los Alamos also has the supercomputing power to perform realistic, three-dimensional wildfire simulations that also explore wildfire chemistry.
During the 1990s, Los Alamos began using its supercomputers to predict the unfolding of crisis events. Because fires are a series of small, intense physical phenomena affected by both terrain and atmospheric conditions, their spread could not be reliably predicted before the availability of supercomputers.
At Los Alamos, a sitewide Environmental Impact Statement has identified wildfire as the greatest threat to Los Alamos operations. Over the past several years, several nearby catastrophic blazes have intensified efforts to refine the model to a high degree of resolution. Extensive knowledge of the terrain and the types of fuels present have produced a unique data set to incorporate into the model and use to test a variety of scenarios for wildfire risk assessment.
After modeling blazes like the 1994 South Canyon fire in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, in which 14 firefighters were killed, and the Calabasas fire near Malibu, California, in 1996, scientists began working with the U.S. Forest Service and with Los Angeles County to simulate burn patterns.
In addition to causing damage on the ground, fires are a leading source of chemicals in the atmosphere:
* Firefighters' lungs show significant damage, compared to the general population,
* the Southwestern United States experienced dramatic visual and public health effects from the 1998 forest fires in Mexico, and
* the cumulative effect of biomass burning will have worldwide consequences to the atmosphere.
To better anticipate and cope with these effects, the Los Alamos scientists intend to extend their wildfire model to include physical chemistry components. A study of near-field toxic emissions of species like cyanide and smoke will be combined with the analysis of more long-range pollutants like ozone and carbon dioxide and their effects. The researchers hope to develop unique indicators of biomass burning to quantify the global significance of wildfires.
"Our model tries to represent the combined effects of small-scale details into large-scale effects," said Linn. "With this model, we can ask local, regional and global questions and share the capability with the larger global change community."

Aquatic Nuisance Species Profiles
Zebra Mussels (invasive mollusk)
Zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) are an invasive mollusk that look like small clams with wavy black or brown and cream-colored stripes. They are native to the Caspian Sea in Eastern Europe and may have come to North America in the mid-1990s as stowaways in the ballast water of ships. They have been problematic in the Great Lakes states and in the Mississippi River and its tributaries.
Zebra mussels have not been documented in Georgia waters yet. Learn about this important ANS and learn ways to help prevent its spread and introduction into our state's waters.

Certificate of Service issued to Alexander Caurs by the Department of Works, Commonwealth of Australia, dated 21 August 1970. It details that Alexander worked as a storeman between 22 August 1966 to 21 August 1970 and has resigned. It has been signed by both Alexander Caus and W A Ozanne (A/G Director of Works).
Kateryna Caurs (nee Pimenow) was born on 7 July 1915 in Luzk, Poland. She grew up firstly in the Ukraine and then in Russia, where she studied mechanical engineering at the Moscow Technical Institute. From 1946 to 1949 Katerina worked with the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) and later as a clerk for the International Refugee Organisation (IRO). In 1950 Kateryna and her mother migrated to Australia. Due to her degree and previous work in Russia and Germany, Kateryna was able to work as a mechanical engineer once in Australia. She married Latvian immigrant Alexander Caurs in 1959.
Alexander was born in Latvia on 12 July 1926, he migrated to Australia in 1948, arriving in Sydney aboard the 'Charlton Sovereign' on 29 October. Alexander worked as a fitter, and was living in Camberwell when he was naturalised in 1959. He married Kateryna Pimenow the same year on the 10th July. His parent's Peter and Nadeshda Caurs migrated to Australia in 1950, although they appear to have left in 1956. From 22 August 1966 to 21 August 1970 he worked as a storeman for the Commonwealth of Australia Department of Works.
Physical Description
Thick white paper with blue print, black typed text and signatures in pen.
The Caurs collection represents the experiences of wartime dislocation and post-war immigration of a family from three cultural backgrounds, Polish, Latvian and Ukrainian. The principle story represented in the collection is that of Kateryna Caurs (nee Pimenow) and is one not often told, that of a professional educated woman, a mechanical engineer, whose qualifications were recognised in Australia.

Judith Krug Fund Banned Books Week Event Grants
Each year FTRF distributes grants to non-profit organizations to support activities which raise awareness of intellectual freedom and censorship issues during the annual Banned Books Week celebration (September 24 - 30, 2017.) Libraries, schools and universities are encouraged to apply. Grants are awarded at two levels, $1,000 and $2,500. To be eligible for a grant, organizations must not have been a recipient of an FTRF grant within the past five years.
Grantees also receive an ALA 2017 Banned Books Week PromoKit valued at $84 (includes one poster, one roll of stickers, one 50-pack of the "2017 Field Report: Banned and Challenged Books," one 100-pack of bookmarks, and one tote bag).
Grantees are encouraged to share their events on social media and local press. A follow-up report detailing expenditures, numbers of participants, links to press coverage, and a narrative of the event is due within six weeks of the Banned Books Week celebration.
The 2017 Banned Books Week celebration is September 24 - 30, 2017.
The application process is now closed! Look for an announcement of winners in early June!
From the 2016 Grantees
On the evening of Friday, April 15, 2016 Banned: A community conversation about censorship and free speech (Banned) and Friends of Hemming Park co-hosted The Lorax Movie and Green Market, a family-friendly event in downtown Jacksonville, Florida. Event activities tied together two important issues during the week preceding Earth Day: the need to protect trees and our environment and the freedom to read. The Lorax by Dr. Seuss is a favorite banned classic that highlights the environmental impact of deforestation; the Year of the Trees was the Earth Day 2016 theme.
Troy University Libraries, a 2016 BBW grant recipient, celebrates the freedom to read.

Under the settlement, first disclosed in an Estee Lauder filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the defendants will give consumers $175 million in free products, an Estee Lauder spokeswoman said. The defendants will also pay plaintiff attorneys' fees of up to $24 million.
Estee Lauder, whose brands include Clinique, M-A-C, and Bobbi Brown, said it will take a special charge of $13.5 million after taxes, or 6 cents a share, against results for its fourth quarter ended June 30 related to the settlement.
Estee Lauder said its portion of the settlement includes both cash and non-cash items and will not have a material adverse effect on the company's financial condition.
Estee Lauder said it did not admit any wrongdoing and entered into the settlement solely to avoid protracted, costly litigation.
Defendants in the suit include retailers Dillard's, Federated Department Stores, May Department Stores, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Saks, Target, French cosmetics makers L'Oreal and Clarin,s and others.
Federated, parent of Macy's and Bloomingdale's stores, said it was party to the settlement, but did not expect it to have a material impact on earnings. Other defendants could not immediately be reached for comment.
The lawsuit was originally filed in California Superior Court in Marin County in 1998. In connection with the settlement, the case will be refiled in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California on behalf of a nationwide class of consumers of so-called "prestige" cosmetics.

Let's talk about the Goodman MBA
What's an MBA?
The Master of Business Administration (MBA or M.B.A.) is a master's degree in business administration, which attracts people from a wide range of academic disciplines. The MBA designation originated in the United States, emerging from the late 19th century as the country industrialized and companies sought out scientific approaches to management. The core courses in the MBA program are designed to introduce students to the various areas of business such as accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, operations management, etc.
What's the Goodman MBA about?
We offer a two year "traditional" MBA program.
The first year is focused on foundational core
courses: a "transition year" that helps you bridge the gap between a non-business undergrad and more in-depth second-year courses. Second year coursework can be in general management or you can specialize in marketing,
finance, accounting, or human resource management.

B. Prestige and credentials
Correct! It's not easy going to grad school- and the MBA is one of the most well-known and well respected graduate degrees.

Correct! The Goodman MBA is extremely flexible because it gives you hands on knowledge in a wide range of areas in addition to a specialization.

Yes you will- we have an impressive 94% employment rate within three months of graduation. And we're ranked by Canadian Business as the top 3 in Ontario for ROI.

It was last night when a day's worth of stress and agony, combined with a large pitcher of Miller Genuine Draft, resulted in my having some bragging rights. I listened to all 9 minutes and 31 seconds of this maddening video made by some fool with too much time on his hands.
I promise, I listened to the whole thing. Can you? Dare you try? Try the first 30 seconds. I bet you don't make it 2 minutes in...
7 comments:
Joe, You are right. I couldn't last two minutes, and whoever made the video definitely has waaay much time on his hands. :)ReplyDelete
What kinda work do you do, man?
I work in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area at a waterpark resort.ReplyDelete
Why don't you just email me, Grace?
54 seconds but I was sober?ReplyDelete
Late, feen
joe, i watched all 9 minutes and 31 seconds of that shit. what the fuck was that? LOLReplyDelete
Just the work of someone wanting to be annoying and with too much time on their hands.ReplyDelete
I'd be ashamed to mention it, much less brag about it. WTF was that? In the hopes that there was something at the end to explain it all, I let it run. I had to leave the room several times and come back. It does say "The Insane Edition." The ending is worse than than the duration.ReplyDelete
It sounds to me like the incessant questioning of a curious child....
Sorry to put you through that, Nora.ReplyDelete
