Bordeaux 2013: Calon, Cantemerle and Canon
Calon-Ségur, Cantemerle, Haut Bailly, Canon and Doisy-Daëne were the big names out this morning representing the Left Bank, Right Bank and Sauternes.
Pessac-Léognan estate Haut Bailly (above) dropped 6% on its 2012 price (€42 per bottle) to €39.60 p/b ex-négociant, which was also the price of its 2008.
Liv-ex was quick to point out however that at £440 a case, it was more expensive than the 2012 (£425), 2007 (£370), 2006 (£420) and 2004 (£420).
Fellow Left Bank properties, Lagrange Saint Julien, released with a 5% drop to €22.80 p/b while Cantemerle in Haut-Médoc also dropped 5% to €16.90 p/b.
The other big release on the Left Bank today was Calon-Ségur, the Saint-Estèphe estate dipped just 3% (like last year) to €37.30 p/b. It was listed in Liv-ex's potential best value wines of the vintage and is broadly considered one of the better wines in 2013.
Will it succeed at that price though? It is cheaper than Haut Bailly, Beychevelle and Smith Haut Lafitte – just – and much cheaper than Pichon-Baron, Cos d'Estournel, Montrose or Lynch Bages.
Under £500 a case and one of the stars of the vintage, maybe it will? Not as an impulse buy but as one of the more appealing wines when everything else is taken into consideration.
Over on the Right Bank, Saint Emilion estate Canon offered a 10% dip and released at €33 p/b.
In Barsac, Doisy-Daëne didn't drop at all on last year's price – it also being one of the few estates in Sauternes to make any wine in 2012 – and released at €26.40 p/b.
Unlike château in other appellations however, merchants are less likely to begrudge a lack of price cuts in Sauternes due to: the strength of the white wines this year and the fact that over the years pricing has remained rather more consistent than elsewhere in Bordeaux and the appellation is seen as still offering good value for money.
Indeed, Lafaurie Peyraguey, a first growth Sauternes, released with a 42% increase in price ex-négoce although that took it to €35 p/b.
Yesterday's releases included Cos d'Estournel at just over €80 p/b ("little incentive" commented Liv-ex), while there are rumours that a first growth may still release this week.

Innovation: The Alpha EffectG. Michael Maddock and Raphael Louis Vitón
We recently got a call from a friend who happens to be the CEO of a Fortune 1000 company. She told us she was leaving to go to a much smaller firm. She had nothing but positive things to say about her current job, but something about this new opportunity was more inspiring to her. We were not surprised. We'd seen this type of behavior before. She is an Alpha, an A-player who drives meaningful change.
So is the seasoned veteran who just joined our firm. His most recent title was "executive creative director" at a global creative firm. We were happy but not surprised to have attracted this talented individual. Like many superior performers we all know, he chose a smaller firm despite being pursued by a host of larger firms with deeper pockets.
Why did we expect him ultimately to work on our team? Because of the environment we created. That may sound like bragging, but it isn't. Much of what we've read and certainly everything we have experienced running our firm tells us that the keys to attracting and retaining the best employees—the Alphas—are working on something 1) meaningful, 2) in a lower stress environment, and 3) with a reward system that makes sense. These three criteria for Alpha attraction and retention are quite obviously linked through innovation. This applies at your firm, as well. Stop and think about the last truly great person who left your organization. First think about what made that employee great. We bet you name such characteristics as action-oriented, driven, passionate, fun, and genuine. Following the Challenges Now think about where that worker went. Chances are, to a position with a perceived promise of putting his or her talents to better use—moving into a role with greater challenges and opportunities to learn and make a difference. It wasn't about money. Sure, the new employer may have given a pay hike, but that was likely more about the individual's track record than his or her focus on salary and benefits. Money follows these types of people because they follow the challenges. They find them and master both problems and opportunities and get well paid for doing so.
So being innovation-focused naturally attracts Alphas, and this in turn drives a better culture. Here's why: Successful innovation is intrinsically meaningful. Said differently, you have to be solving a significant need in order to have success with a new product or service The best and happiest employees want to work on something meaningful. So they naturally gravitate toward innovation assignments. It is not only more fun but also has a greater potential for personal payoff. Innovation is typically on the radar of the CEO. If you want to be in the spotlight, take on a major innovation initiative. It will bring out the best in you as an employee and get you immediately rewarded for performance.
Back to that Alpha who left your team. In hindsight, what would you have done to keep her happy? Chances are you would eagerly put her on your most heady, rewarding challenge. Think about what would happen if you had a project like that for every Alpha in the organization. The result would be a magnetic culture that attracts and retains the best people. It would be the Alpha Effect. Instead, too often we ask our best people to handle our most difficult clients or profitable but uninspiring projects. That leads to an unfortunate exodus of talented people.
Change to Rules You can smell a culture. Walk into any office and in seconds you will know whether something fun or insidious is cooking. That's why I am always thrilled when people say "this feels like a really cool place to work" within the first few minutes of a tour. (The fact that they are taking the tour on a Segway might have something to do with it.)
I am happy not just because they are right but also because it is on purpose. We hire wonderful people (people full of wonder) and let them work on world-changing projects. We let them change the rules. In fact, our clients encourage them to change the rules.
Respect, humility, challenge, and talent are all key ingredients in the innovation stew. It not only smells good but also tastes great.
When we welcomed our new creative thinker, we were pleased to hear him say: "Something about the place just feels right to me. I think I can really make a difference here." We're committed to making sure he is correct.

A U.S. Census Bureau report released Tuesday showed a statistically significant increase of poverty in about 20 percent of counties within the country between 2007 and 2010. According to the report, 653 counties saw an increase in poverty for children ages 5 to 17. Only eight counties saw a decrease.
Dade County School Superintendent Shawn Tobin, whose Georgia county was among those that saw a big jump in numbers, said the report confirmed trends he had already noticed. He said that more students within his district were qualifying for free and reduced-price lunch and that attendance had gone up, since students know they'll get at least two meals at school.
"It hits rural areas hard," Tobin told Timesfreepress.com. "We're using all available resources. Sometimes they're for basic needs."
That trend goes beyond Tobin's county school district. The number of students receiving subsidized lunch increased from 18 million in the 2006-2007 school year to 21 million last school year, The New York Times reports. Several states, including Florida, Nevada, New Jersey and Tennessee had a four-year increase of 25 percent or more.
In New Jersey, 13 of the state's 21 counties fell into the same category. The city of Wildwood had the highest percentage of impoverished school-age children in the state for the third consecutive year. Unfortunately, educators there weren't shocked by the numbers either.
"[Students] dont have the social and economic advantages that the middle class and above does," Wildwood Superintendent Dennis Anderson told Press of Atlantic City. "And in many ways, it breaks your heart."
The data represent the only current, single-year income and poverty estimates available for all counties and school districts. Although the estimates are released annually, 2007 was chosen to compare rates prior to the recession. The findings are used to help allocate federal and state funds to local communities.
A recent study founda href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/02/increase-in-extreme-poverty_n_1072505.html" target="_hplink">a spike in the number of Americans living in extreme poverty.

The rumours have been with us for well over three years now, but it looks like they're finally coming to fruition; Sony Ericsson is finally launching a PlayStation phone. According to Engadget's "trusted sources" (nothing to do with us) the device will be launching as early as October and will run version 3.0 (Gingerbread) of Google's Android operating system.
Described as a merger of the PSPgo and Samsung Galaxy S the device will reportedly feature a touch-sensitive display between 3.7in and 4.1in in size, with a resolution of, or possibly greater than, 800 x 480 pixels. Qualcomm's 1GHz Snapdragon will most likely power the device, which will feature a button layout like that of the PSPgo, but instead of an analogue nub will have a touch-sensitive control area.
The implication is that rather than launching this 'PlayStation Phone' handset in isolation, it is intended to be a flagship device for a mobile gaming ecosystem. The handset will be marketed as an Xperia device, with the PlayStation twist coming in the form of a skin over vanilla Android, and a special area of the Android Marketplace will be dedicated to the games. Titles apparently being shown off include God of War, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and LittleBigPlanet, with graphical quality said to be in the PSP ballpark, so the quality level looks to be high.
It's no secret that the PlayStation Portable is suffering from the competition of devices such as the iPhone and iPod touch, which despite their inferior hardware are gaining great traction as portable gaming devices. It's not hard to imagine that if successful this PlayStation phone could mark the end of dedicated portable gaming devices for Sony, and a move into being a mobile gaming platform provider. And if the games are notably better in quality (in terms of both visuals and gameplay) than those available on Apple's App Store, that might not be a bad move.
While we've seen gaming phones fail before (you probably don't even remember the N-Gage), there's every chance for Sony to get this right. We're not writing the PSPhone off quite yet.

Steamboat Springs Hikers tired of detouring off the Continental Divide Trail onto a state highway so as not to trespass on private land may get some help from the federal government.
U.S. Rep. Scott McInnis, R-Grand Junction, is hoping to get a bill passed during this congressional session that would allow private landowners to sell their land to the federal government. McInnis, who represents western Colorado, is especially interested in passing the bill because the Continental Divide Trail east of Steamboat Springs runs across private land. About 10 miles of the trail near Muddy Pass is privately owned and would be available to the government if the bill is passed.
"We've been trying to get a right-of-way or an easement through those lands," said Ed Patalik, a recreation planner for the U.S. Forest Service in Steamboat. Currently, hikers have to walk along Colorado 14 for about 12 miles at the Muddy Pass section of the trail, Patalik said.
"Sounds great if there's a process where we can facilitate the government taking control of those lands," said Patalik, who had not previously heard of the bill.
There are 3,000 miles of trails that make up the Continental Divide Trail, but about 700 of those miles are privately owned. At points, the "trail" is 50 miles wide, McInnis said. Hikers must figure out how to bypass the private land and find public land on which to camp.
Bruce Ward, the co-director of the Continental Divide Trail Alliance, a non-profit association located in Pine, is working with McInnis to promote the bill.
The alliance looks to "promote, construct, and manage a primitive trail along the Continental Divide and to link and protect significant resources along the trail by the support of volunteers and public and private memberships." Ward has enlisted a huge number of volunteers to service the trail from New Mexico through Montana.
Volunteer hours on the trail are already up to about 70,000, McInnis said. The alliance is financed by the government and through private grants.
McInnis's amendment will affect more than just the Colorado, though.
His "willing seller" amendments to the National Trails Systems Act would allow private landowners to sell on nine federally-maintained trails throughout the country. Under existing law, owners of land on those trails are forbidden from selling their land to the government for inclusion in the national trails system. Out of 20 national trails, only landowners on 11 of those trails can sell their land.
"To administer an equitable national system of trails the authority for the trails should be consistent," McInnis said in a written statement to Congress.
The bill has been introduced in the House for a number of years in the past but was rejected due to fears of land condemnation, McInnis said.
"I never gave rights of condemnation in my bill," McInnis said. "I know of no opposition to this bill. It's got the sponsorship of the most conservative private property advocate clear up to the other side of the aisle, some of the people that they would call the extreme environmental aspect. I mean, this is a team effort."
McInnis is confident that the bill will pass in the House, but is unsure about Senate support. The senator most responsible for pushing the bill is Sen. Ben Campbell, R-Colorado. Although the current congressional session is ending soon, McInnis will push to have the bill considered before the session ends.
"Our biggest enemy here is time," he said.

Yeah, have to agree with that really. I don't see any point whatsoever for desktops and it's not even that great with a touch screen due to the bulk of everything you're doing being within the desktop environment.

Gorgeous young college boys Dakota and Max head out to the woods to practice putting up their tent. It's a blazing hot day, so they both take off their shirts as they walk, openly admiring each others' toned bodies. They lay their tent down on the ground, but that's as far as they get - because they press their hard bodies up against each other, feeling each others' hard bulges and kissing on the lips! Both men squat down on the ground, sucking each other and licking each others' tender, sensitive assholes - rim jobs definitely play a prominent role in this scene! The blond Dakota screws Max in his ass, pumping him until it gets dark.

Big River Steel LLC, which wishes to build an electric arc furnace steel mill in Osceola, Arkansas, says it has officially closed on the financing necessary to build the $1.3 billion project. When fully operational, the facility will employ more than 500 people. A formal groundbreaking ceremony is being planned for late summer 2014.
"It's truly been a team effort between our investors, local and state leadership, our management team, and many others to get to this point," says John Correnti, Big River Steel CEO. "I know firsthand northeast Arkansas has everything we need to operate a world-class mill. Now it's time to get to work."
Big River Steel first announced plans in early 2013 to build in Arkansas a mill to produce steel for the automotive, oil and gas and electrical energy industries. Construction is expected to take about two years to complete, the company says.
"The economic impact Big River Steel will have on the state of Arkansas is tremendous," says Grant Tennille, executive director of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission (AEDC). "In addition to the benefits of Big River alone, we fully expect a significant number of suppliers to locate operations in the region. We appreciate the Arkansas Development Finance Authority (ADFA) and Arkansas Teacher Retirement System working hard to make this project possible."
To help with the financing, the state of Arkansas has available Amendment 82, which is a constitutional amendment passed by voters of Arkansas in 2004. The amendment allows the state to issue bonds to provide funds for infrastructure and other considerations for new and expanding companies.
Originally limits were set on when Amendment 82 could be used. The project had to create 500-plus jobs and involve an investment of at least $500 million. In 2010, voters approved removing those thresholds. The Big River Steel project is the first time Amendment 82 has been used.
Under Arkansas' Amendment 82, the state has authorized the following:
- issuing up to $125 million in 20-year general obligation bonds;
- a $50 million loan to Big River Steel;
- a $50 million grant for site preparation;
- a $20 million grant for subsurface stabilization and pilings; and
- $5 million bond issuance costs.
In addition to incentives provided by Amendment 82, incentives secured by Big River Steel include:
- sales tax refunds on building materials, taxable machinery and equipment associated with the project;
- Advantage Arkansas 4 percent income tax credit based on new payroll for new jobs for five years;
- training funds of $10 million ($5 million Governor's Quick Action Closing Fund, and $5 million Department of Workforce Services Trust Fund);
- recycling equipment tax credit, an income tax credit equal to 30 percent of eligible recycling equipment costs that will carry forward for 14 years;
- sales tax exemption on utilities (natural gas and electricity); and
- ADFA has agreed to make $5 million in bridge-gap funding available to Big River Steel.
Local incentives provided to Big River Steel include:
- $12 million from Mississippi County and $2 million from the City of Osceola; and
- trustees of the Arkansas Teacher Retirement System (ARTRS) have approved an investment of up to $125 million in system funds in Big River Steel (ARTRS originally announced a total investment of $60 million but recently authorized an additional $65 million investment).

The rift between rural and urban living looks set to become wider as the recession tears into the economy. As jobs and housing development falter, the countryside's traditional low wages, coupled with unaffordable house prices inflated by wealthy incomers, has become unsustainable.
In the year to September 2008, the mean house price of a rural home was £265,000, compared with £211,000 in urban areas, while the average house price in villages was £284,000, according to the Commission for Rural Communities (CRC).
Furthermore, homelessness from mortgage arrears has increased in rural areas over the past year. In country areas, 5.1% of people are classed as being in priority need of housing and unintentionally homeless, compared with 4.1% in urban areas, says the CRC. And, adds the commission, the benefits of nosediving house prices have failed to spread to the countryside, where average prices are falling slower than in towns and cities.
Housing minister Iain Wright recognised this situation when, in October last year he proposed new powers to guarantee affordable housing in rural areas designated as "protected" to stop local families being driven out of their communities. And last month, Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) chief Sir Bob Kerslake, speaking at a CRC event on how the recession was fuelling the rural housing crisis, stressed rural housing is one of the most urgent issues the new agency needed to tackle.
Stuart Burgess, chair of the CRC, agrees: "Affordable housing is the most critical thing in rural England at this time, and it has been for the past five or six years", he says. "The prices are very high, there's a lack of availability because people aren't building, people aren't moving and they're just not affordable to many young adults who want to live in rural areas."
As outlined in the government-commissioned review of the rural economy and affordable housing by Matthew Taylor, MP for Truro and St Austell, rural economies are polarising. The Taylor Review, which the government is expected to respond to by the end of March, found the average rural wage to be £20,289 compared with £27,487 in urban areas. In addition, the CRC's 2008 State of the Countryside report showed that the percentage of rural population below the poverty line rose 3% over the past two years compared with 1% in urban areas.
An escape to the country for many urban, older well-off people has not only made homes unaffordable for low-waged locals, it has displaced younger people to towns and cities, leaving unsustainable, demographically distorted communities with villages solely comprising empty second homes and the affluent elderly, without services to support them.
Burgess says there will be a "slow decline of sustainability" if the situation is not remedied in the next few years, thanks to the increase in the ageing population (see page 6). Aggravated by a lack of liquidity in the market hampering new development, the paucity of affordable rural housing along with demographic trends is pitching the countryside towards crisis.
In East Anglia, for example, Wherry Housing Association's chief executive, Mark Jones, says the lack of liquidity has stalled the organisation's shared ownership developments. Wherry, part of Circle Anglia, manages more than 5,300 properties across Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. Rising fuel costs are hitting Jones' residents, too, making the 1,300 Wherry households that are off the gas network and instead heated by oil or electric, vulnerable to fuel poverty.
"Some areas of north Norfolk are now unaffordable for local people to purchase," he says. Norfolk, he adds, has three times the national average of holiday or second homes, the housing waiting list has leapt by two-thirds over the past five years to 30,000 and house prices have more than trebled over the same period.
Pockets of deprivation
The invisibility of poverty in rural areas can also block potential housing investment. "There are isolated pockets of deprivation that are not as visible as in urban areas," says Jones. "Norfolk is huge geographically, it doesn't have the public transport links or road networks that could serve the economy. So in order to build the case for investment to go into rural areas, we need to be able to show it. We need more grants and public investment to get the building process going again - and to make land available to housing associations at a discounted rate."
To ease rural development, the Taylor Review recommended building community-led affordable housing on "exception sites", given the thorny issue of greenfield development. However, according to Mark Shucksmith, professor of planning at Newcastle University and a former member of the Affordable Rural Housing Commission, whose work is being followed up by the CRC, the shortage is not just about protected rural areas, as often cited, but nimbyism.
He believes the "rhetoric of sustainability", where the green agenda is privileged over the social one, is strangling new development in rural areas. For him, the Rogers Report a decade ago to bring regeneration and investment to Britain's cities has been at the expense of countryside development.
"There's been a push to push development into the city," he says, adding that regional spatial strategies favour urban regeneration. "Every single one of the regions in England is still operating a policy to try to prevent development in the countryside."
Rural communities are becoming less socially mixed. Professor Shucksmith says that planning restrictions have prevented the development of the market housing, "that could cross-subsidise the affordable rural housing" and are making the countryside more socially exclusive.
He adds: "[The countryside] is becoming the preserve of the wealthy, white middle class, and this has been happening for 20 to 30 years." He welcomes the HCA's focus on place-shaping - which considers holistic community development - as a "real opportunity" to address some of the problems and hopes the new body will give equal weight to urban as well as rural voices. "They're saying they want to protect the countryside and yet they're killing the countryside," he says of the opposition to rural development.

Fuel for an Origo Stove
I have a two burner (non-pressure) Origo stovetop. However, I'm having a hard time finding someplace that carries cooking alcohol to fuel the stove.
Can I simply use de-natured alcohol that's available at the hardware store in the paint section? The broker told me to get "soot free" alcohol, but I haven't found any anywhere.
Does anyone know if I can use white gas (Coleman Camp Fuel) in the Origo stove? The Camp Fuel seems to be available just about everywhere for very reasonable prices.
No way can you use white gas in that stove! Way more volatile. Big flame, maybe worse, unhappy outcome.
Denatured alcohol is what you want.
yes - denatured alcohol from the hardware store is exactly what you want - most cans even have some fine print on there that a rv/boat stove is an accepted use.
I picked up a liter of Sunnyside's denatured alcohol. I'll give it a try this weekend and see if it's sooty or not before I pay a premium for the "soot-free" labeled alcohol.
I used to use the so called 'soot free' stove alcohol that Origo specifies. It made soot. I started buying alcohol at the hardware stove for half price and the soot issue went away.
My experience was the same as Jeff's.
We have the Origo electric/no-pressure alcohol and we use the stove alcohol from West Marine - We want no possibility of sooting up the electric burners.
Although this question has been adequately answered, I just have to chime in with my love of our Origo stove/oven. i adore the simplicity and unbreakable nature of the beast. Real old school. We use hardware store denatured alcohol and have only a little soot on the bottom of our pans. I hear it is harder to get dentaured alcohol in Mexico and other exotic ports but still manageable. Having two young boys makes me very happy to have no propane on our boat. My only alcohol complaint is the increased condensation when cooking in the NW winter. OK, I've satisfied my need to comment on Origo. :D
Do Not Use White Gas (coleman Fuel)
I would think you could use some very pure moonshine or other 'legal' ethyl alcohol in a pinch - the higher proof the better. De-natured would be much cheaper though and the Kentucky 'corn whiskey' could be used for 'medicinal' purposes.

1. What do people wear to service?
At Faith Bible, we really want folks to feel free to "come as you are." If you're more comfortable dressing up or down,
either is OK.
2. What is the Sunday Service like?
Our non-denominational service is casual and meaningful with a variety of uplifting songs and a message that clearly explains Scripture and how
to make it meaningful in our daily lives.
3. My husband and I grew up in different churches. Will we fit at Faith Bible Fellowship?
FBF is a non-denominational church where all who seek God will feel comfortable. Our folks come from various denominational backgrounds and
include those who grew up as Baptists, Catholics, Lutherans,…or didn't attend
church at all. Our focus is on finding God through a study of His Word and growing Christians who will disciple
others, rather than on denominations.
4. What kind of music do you have?
We have a worship team that leads the congregation in singing; also we have several soloists to add variety to our worship through song.
5. Is there Sunday School or Bible Study?
We have a choice of Bible Studies on Sunday mornings at 9:00 AM as well as a Bible Study / Prayer on Wednesday evening at individual homes.
See the web page on "Knowing God" for additional information.

The term "dogma" derives from Greek words meaning "that which seems to one, opinion or belief" and "to think, to suppose, to imagine." It is most often used today to describe "strong opinions held as if they were unquestionable facts".
In religion, dogma is a code of tenents, core principle, organized belief, or value held by a religion, group, or organization. Dogma is a inarguable, undoubted, established opinion or long held belief followed strictly by believers or practioners. Dogma is a fundamental, theologically well demonstrated opinion or belief and the ultimate basis of organized religions like Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
Dogmata for Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox Christianity, and Oriental Orthodox Christianity are founded in doctrines, like the the Nicene Creed and canons of church councils. Protestants base portions of the dogmata in similar beliefs of Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox Christianity, and Oriental Orthodox Christianity and usually tailor "Statements of Faith" in relation to denomination. Islam's dogmatic principles are based upon the agidah.
The etymologically plural forms of "dogma" include the less frequently used "dogmas" with "dogmata" being the more correct form.
To be dogmatic is to champion opinions as if they were facts that should not be questioned.

Citation: Timlin, D.J., Starr, J.L., Cady, R., Nicholson, T. 2003. Comparing ground-water recharge estimates using advanced monitoring techniques and models. Nureg Series. NUREG/CR-6836, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC. Interpretive Summary: Knowledge of ground-water recharge is important for many reasons. These include estimation of potential for ground-water contamination by chemicals and fertilizers applied to the soil surface. Furthermore, in order to assess the safety of decommissioning waste disposal facilities, ground water recharge calculations need to be performed as part of site characterization and facility performance analysis. Ground water recharge is often estimated from changes in water table height or from weather data such as rainfall and evaporation. These methods may give reasonable averages over many years but can be highly inaccurate for within year estimates. We compared ground-water recharge estimates from a number of different measurement methods. These methods included water table height, infrequent (weekly) and frequently (10 minutes) measured soil water contents, simulation modeling, and use of weather data (rainfall and evaporation). Actual ground-water recharge for comparison purposes was measured in a vegetated outdoor soil plot measuring 14 x 20 x 3 m (35 x 50 x 7.5 ft) and closed to drainage. We found that uncertainty in knowledge of evaporation from soil and plant surfaces led to the greatest errors in estimation of ground-water recharge. Simulation modeling worked well if there were good estimates of evaporation from plant and soil surfaces. Measurements of soil water content underestimated ground-water recharge since they did could not accurately measure infiltrating water when the soil was very wet.
Technical Abstract: Risk due to contaminant release and transport, as estimated by many multimedia environmental models, is highly sensitive to infiltration and ground water recharge. Previous ARS NRC studies developed methodologies, and showed the value of high frequency monitoring of unsaturated zone water contents and piezometric levels to estimate infiltration and ground water recharge. This study tested those methodologies through comparison of estimated ground water recharge in a closed system using a highly monitored lysimeter (i.e., 14 by 20 by 3 meters). Specifically, near continuous water content, water table elevation, and meteorological data were collected to estimate infiltration and ground water recharge and their attendant uncertainties. These highly detailed monitoring data were evaluated to capture individual recharge event characteristics (i.e., infiltration, drainage and evapotranspiration) and to estimate hydraulic parameters. Advanced monitoring techniques and models were used to compare hierarchical levels of information for assessing sensitivities and identifying uncertainty. The study included numerical simulations of ground water recharge using the HYDRUS 2D code and the PNNL Water Balance model. The variation in input parameters and resulting recharge estimates derived from the different methods provide a framework for assessing uncertainty. Advanced monitoring instruments proved valuable in providing (1) an understanding of the soil water dynamics; (2) input for estimating hydraulic parameters for the various models, and (3) a realistic database for evaluating the modeling results. Comparison of results indicated that there was considerable variability of soil water dynamics in the near surface.

It's a bit early to rush out and buy a giant scissors for the ribbon-cutting, but both the Badger State Trail near Madison and the Hank Aaron State Trail in Milwaukee will have shiny new sections funded by transportation enhancement money allocated by the state this week.
Following the trickle down theory of government, the state is distributing $17 million in federal money, all for bicycle and pedestrian improvements to be constructed in 2010, 2011 and 2012.
Notable on the list of 47 projects: the completion of the Badger State Trail with asphalt from Fitchburg to Madison ($871,600) a bridge to connect the Mitchell Park Domes to the Hank Aaron State Trail in Milwaukee (($980,011); extending the Starkwater Path to the Madison Area Technical College ($1.32 million) and adding bike lanes on Madeline Island, off Bayfield ($608,800).
Local authorities are required to kick in at least 20% of a project cost to receive the federal dollars, and in many cases the total cost will exceed what the grant provides.
The Hank Aaron State Trail bridge extension is an example, with a projected cost of $2.5 million.
'Every penny helps, but it's just a starting point to expand on what we have now,' said Melissa Cook, the trail manager with the State Department of Natural Resources.
When finished, the bridge will give residents around the Domes easy access to the Menomonee Valley, the Menomonee River and the Hank Aaron State Trail.
In Madison, the extension of the Badger State Trail will link to the Capital City State Trail and provide access to the Military Ridge and Sugar River Trails.
'It will provide a linkage to an amazing amount of bicycling opportunities,' said Steve Johnston, a DNR area property manager. 'Right now, we just kind of have a dead end.'
The projects selected for the federal money were ranked by a committee and required to serve a transportation purpose.
Even with the $17 million, it's likely the state's paths will include a number of dead ends.
The 47 chosen projects were selected from 146 applications seeking nearly $78 million.
The complete list of funded projects will be posted soon on the State DOT web site.

Commentary byAlexander von Hoffman, Senior Fellow, Joint Center for Housing Studies and author "To Preserve and Protect: Land Use Regulations in Weston, Massachusetts"
Moderated byEdward Glaeser, Glimp Professor of Economics, Harvard University and Director, Rappaport Institute for Greater Boston and Taubman Center for State and Local Government
For decades, state and local leaders in Massachusetts have tried to develop housing policies that reconcile two often-competing values: the desire to control land use at the local level and the regional need for affordable housing. A key element in this effort has been Chapter 40B, a unique law giving state officials the power to override local land-use decisions that would restrict the development of projects that include some permanently subsidized units. However, that law would be greatly curtailed by a referendum on the November ballot. What can state and local officials do to improve the substance of – and discussions about – state and local policies that affect housing in greater Boston?

Train Fire
RIVERSIDE, Calif. - A train engine caught fire as the multi-car freighter made its way through Riverside late this afternoon, prompting authorities to shut down railroad tracks going in both directions and bringing all cargo and commuter train traffic to a halt. The fire was reported around 4:30 p.m. on a northbound locomotive as it passed Tyler Street, according to the Riverside Fire Department. Witnesses reported seeing flames coming from underneath the last car of the train, which turned out to be one of the engines, a fire department spokesman said.The train crew stopped the freighter between Jefferson and Madison streets so firefighters could take a look. According to reports from the scene, the engine was smoldering and would have to be deactivated before the train could resume travel.
Burlington Santa Fe Railroad shut down tracks in both directions for the safety of emergency personnel. Metrolink commuter trains and freight trains attempting to reach or pass through the city were stopped. The closure was expected to last about an hour.

"Incredible food, and some items tailor made to meet guests dietary restrictions....the service was great, staff very friendly and patient with other things going on at the same time. We couldn't give them a better review. Marcel, the owner, was a very kind man who came out to meet us and see how we liked everything, and we thought it was a nice touch. He was very easy to work with, and patient (as we were also exchanging emails becasuse of living abroad). If you get in touch with the Riding Club, they will help you get in touch with Marcel."

In West Seattle, Umpqua Bank (UMPQ) customers dance in Zumba classes. In Reno, Nev., they nosh on melted sandwiches in front of food trucks on Tuesday nights. In Portland, Ore., moneywise mommies tote their toddlers to story time over cocoa. Not your usual banking scene? That's the idea.
Umpqua, a regional bank in the Northwest and Northern California, calls its branches stores. Each store is designed to engage customers with gathering spaces, computer cafes, merchandise from other local businesses and free coffee.
Like many innovations, Umpqua's approach is rooted in a tough dilemma. "Everyone does their banking today with their fingers," Umpqua CEO Ray Davis told IBD.
With all that online banking, branches started to empty. That was troubling to bank leadership. Why? New financial services are most often sold in person while customers are at the bank for other reasons, Davis explains.
Umpqua risked missing out on vital chances to tell customers about savings and investment opportunities. So Davis and his team brainstormed. Then it hit them:
Leverage the space and cue the Zumba music. Shake up your business to grab customers.
• Mine service ace know-how. How does Davis know his people will make the right call? Training, in the style of one of the strongest hotel brands. "All of our people are trained by Ritz-Carlton (MAR)," he said. "Ritz-Carlton cannot teach us how to be better bankers, but they can teach us how to treat people."
• Keep a strong core. When you're going in a new direction, don't stray from excellence in your mainstay product. Amusing perks can't hold up a shoddy offering served up with sour attitude, believes Lucy Buffett, owner of LuLu's, a beachside restaurant in the tourist town of Gulf Shores, Ala. "I tell people to work very hard to make it look very easy," said Buffett, whose brother is recording artist Jimmy Buffett.
Lucy's grill draws a big crowd every night, with summer wait times as long as two hours. Yet its spacious wait-to-be-seated area is more beach than benches. Yards of sand pits are ready for digging, and the Mountain of Youth rope course tests kids of all ages.
• Stay focused. Customers want to have fun. They also want to feel important. "I had to tell my staff at a certain point, 'Let me be really clear. This may seem like a not-serious job and you all are able to work in an environment that is not so strict as a corporate structure, but this is very serious business. It is your livelihood and mine,'" Buffett said.

Share your experiences with going way too light and suffering for it.
Here are mine:
Not carrying a shelter on a 4 day trip in Big Sur during winter. The forecast was clear. It started pouring the last night and I ended up improvising a brush shelter underneath a large canopy of redwood trees. I didn't get wet at all but it could have been bad.
Not carrying extra batteries for my headlamp and running out of battery on a longer trip.
Carrying 1 pound per day of food on a 10 day trip.
Sharing a shelter (a flat tarp) with my partner on a cross country trip in thick bush. We had trouble finding a clear/flat place that was large enough for 2 people to sleep, so we always ended up with super cramped floor space and I ended up sleeping outside of the shelter when it wasn't raining.Dec 4, 2013 at 7:00 pm #2050915Dec 4, 2013 at 8:07 pm #2050938

Before i had any nice and very light and packable down quilts, i decided to try out my wife's bag booster, which i had made. It is two silk mummy liners sewn together with a 5×3 layer of 2.5 oz Apex sandwiched in the top between the silk (the apex was a left over piece).
That and a lightweight down jacket is all i had for insulation besides my normal clothes. Decided to do this in late winter, and slept in an AT shelter.
Well, it got pretty windy that night and that shelter didn't help much at all with that, in fact i think it focused the wind and made it worse.
I wasn't scared for my life cold, but i certainly didn't sleep fully comfortably by any means. If the silk had been less breathable, would have been warmer. It was mainly the wind that was the problem. If it had been a still, calm night, i would have been comfortable.
Yup, stupid light. I could have brought my S.D. Zissou 30* Lite bag, but since i was excited to try out my new S2S Ultra sil day pack, decided i could forgo the real insulation. (roll eyes at self). Had i had my EE 40 degree quilt back then, i could have had both the light, small pack and the warmth. So maybe it's more of a case of "stupid wallet"..Dec 5, 2013 at 7:15 am #2051050

"I use to have that lantern! I still have the matching stove (globe trotter)."
Same here. Still have several canisters too. The stove wasn't stupid light for its time. Here is a picture of the stove on a trip I did this year. I left the lantern at home.Dec 5, 2013 at 9:40 am #2051101

I spent a lot of time trying to find a lightweight plastic cup with a mouth that would accept my MSR coffee filter. I saw this super light plastic jar looking container at Target and bought it. On the trip as I was pouring the coffee into the 16 oz cup and in a matter of seconds it shrank to the size of a juice glass and coffee went everywhere.Dec 5, 2013 at 10:51 am #2051120

Alas, I have none. :^(
I do have the adapter to allow it to use the current threaded canisters. :^) I haven't installed it yet (it requires a little filing).Dec 5, 2013 at 11:13 am #2051128
No I haven't done the adapter to the Globe Trotter. I really haven't used it much in recent years. Same for an old Gerry stove and my Optimus 731 Mousetrap. Ran out of canisters a long time ago.
Here's a neat tip…
The Svea 123 fits perfectly into the Globe Trotter Cups!! It is almost exactly the same size as a Globe Trotter with the canister attached.Dec 5, 2013 at 7:58 pm #2051365
I have a good one: Bringing a 40 degree bag to 13 degrees. This was a while ago when I hadn't accumulated good gear but I still got out anyways. I really wanted to go camping that weekend. I ended up sleeping next to a fire all night and was comfortable… but still stupid.Dec 5, 2013 at 8:32 pm #2051386

I don't count being uncomfortable as "stupid light" anymore. I'm over trying to micro manage my hikes and I've learned to stop trying to be so damn comfortable all the time. But I do recall a few long hot days without enough beer, some long cold mornings with only stupid "ultralight" coffee rations for us both, and some good fireside tom-foolery when the whiskey ran dry. I remember many times saying " dude remember how cold we were that night! Everything wet and not a damn pad to lay on! it was epic!". But mention the time the whiskey ran dry, and immediately our eyes find the ground and a somber tone comes over us, "yeah, that was stupid. Never again".Dec 7, 2013 at 1:40 pm #2051843
While doing the JMT without a sleeping bag, I thought I would just sleep for 1 1/2 hours before sunset and after sunrise while the temps were still warm.
Needless to say, this "idea" did not work.
First sleep, wasn't tiered.
Second, got woke up by a bear sniffing my head.
Third, a bird came down and kept chirping at me from 5 feet away.
100+ miles in and I had less than 30 minutes sleep.
Coming down into Evolution Valley (Going north bound), it was 2:30am and 28* and I needed sleep.
I figured I would stop and put all my clothing on, warm up and then sleep until the cold wakes me up.
I figured this would get me a good 20-30 minute nap.
I tell you what, when your body is that tired, you do not wake up.
I woke up 1 hr 45 mins latter absolutely frozen.
Anyone see the movie Iron Will when he woke up the last night?
That was me.
I had to lift my legs to move the first minute or so and a good 10 minutes to get walking at a rate that would generate heat.
During that 15 minutes I was shivering so bad, and just kept realizing how bad of an idea that was.Dec 7, 2013 at 9:06 pm #2051959

I thought "stupid light" referred to decisions that actually end up raising pack weight. E.g., you ditch your tent for a tarp that weighs less, but then have to add a ground sheet, bivy sack, and bug net that together weigh more than the tent.
Whatever. There are probably more good "too light" boo-boo stories anyway. :-)Dec 7, 2013 at 10:31 pm #2051975

aaron wins, if only by the hutzpa to admit doing something that lame.
and there is a line between having "plenty" of whisky, and "enough" whisky.
at first, in the beginning, that line will be a proper demarkation. much like those straight and solid lines your parents would draw in the sand.
but, later on, after you've thrown, let's say, a few more logs on the fire .. that line, once straight and proud, will sort of, from your new vantage point of near ground level, transform itself (all by itself,, mind you) into a thing wavy and slowly undulating against a background of undefinable blurredness.
one has now crossed over from having "Plenty", to being in a situation of have had "Enough".

This years JMT had a pack weight of 17.5 pounds at the start.
The stupid light trip was 16.5.
On that trip I had a 7 ounce synthetic bottom and a 9 ounce synthetic top
I swapped both those out this time for a 19 ounce (12 ounce 900 fill) quilt.
Then just had a warmer mid layer and a wind 2.3 ounce wind shirt.
I got frozen pelts of being rain while sleeping at Evolution Lake and was still plenty warm.
SHR next year I will take the same gear as this year along with my synthetic top.
Can't be stupid on the SHR!Dec 8, 2013 at 11:26 am #2052088
You also can't night hike on the SHR in many places. What is your goal for time? I think I heard of someone doing it in 7 days.
Don't rush and twist an ankle. Combining physical and mental endurance in cross country fastpacking is a next level challenge.
I plan on doing another attempt at part of the shr next summer (failed due to altitude last summer) but only at 10 miles per day, a relaxed pace with plenty of time for side exploration and fishing. I think my max weight with a weeks worth of food, water, and canister was 24 at the start.Dec 8, 2013 at 11:59 am #2052106
Brian Robinson has covered the trail the fastest.
I am going with 2 others who are as good or better trail runners than I am but when it comes to SUL Fastpacking, their experience is zero.
The talk at first was all about the fastest time.
Then when it came to gear, it goes south in a hurry.
The lack of experience came out with the need of a 3 pound pack.
Then, I'm bringing a bear canister from the start instead of picking one up at Reds Meadow and just not camp at areas you need it t sealed the deal that we are not going for a fast time.
It went from going under Brian's time to 11-12 days.
Since there is no way I can get that much time off of work, if I do anything, it will be going to Reds with them.
Later in the summer, I'll do my big run, the Tahoe 200.

In your June 29 paper, Phil Noble states that the "Charleston loophole" for buying a gun was the cause for the Emanuel church shooting.
The three days that gun owners wait for a background check passed, so the store sold the gun to Dylann Roof without the background check being finished.
The left always throws in their "common sense" into their gun rhetoric. My question is whose common sense do we abide by? My common sense is not the same as yours, Mr. Noble.
Today, I placed my gun on the table right next to my front door. I left its magazine beside it, then left it alone and went about my chores.
While I was gone, the mailman delivered the mail, the guy who mows my lawn came to cut my grass, a young lady walked her dog down the street, and a delivery truck delivered a package.
Mr. Melton, your editorial in last week's papers gave me such pleasure that I have not felt in years.
County Attorney John Weaver sent an email stating, "My job is to make Council members look good, not otherwise." Well, his unprepared, unprofessional, thrown-together, not complete, nor concise, fragmented and confusing PowerPoint show regarding Ansley Park was an embarrassment for Lancaster County.
I am so sorry to hear of the death of Mr. W.B. Evans. I have enjoyed his columns for many years.
Has his family ever thought of publishing his columns in a book? I certainly would be interested.
Faye Mangum Cox
Waxhaw, N.C.
I am so glad that the worst thing Indian Land residents are currently worrying about are their roads.
We here on the other end of the county located closer to Haile Gold Mine have our own concerns. The difference between ours and theirs lies in a much more all-encompassing, potentially harmful environmental impact, such as what Oceana Gold did to Brazil.
Oh, I know, they must not have all the regulations we have here. But what we do have are unconcerned politicians.
If this wasn't reality, I would have thought I was watching a comedy.
President Obama has officially announced his backing for his fellow progressive, Hillary Clinton, for president. He stated that there is no one more qualified to be president than her. If that is so, then we all need to be lemmings and march off a cliff together.
Not only did she lie to the public about her e-mails when she was secretary of state, but she lied under oath to the congressional hearing. A perfect perjurer match for her slimy perjurer husband, Bill.
Mr. W.B. "Bill" Evans was my friend, even though we never met face to face. I met him through his writings in The Lancaster News.
What a beautiful spirit and soul he had. His words encouraged me to give my opinions on things. You could tell he loved Lancaster and the USA.
I will miss my friend. I will miss his spirit and his love of life. He touched a lot of people, made our lives better and put smiles on our faces with his "Remember When?" columns.
I am so sorry to hear of Mr. W.B. Evans' passing. I looked forward to reading his "Remember When?" columns.
Jo Anne Broughton
W.B. Evans was one of the best storytellers Lancaster has had. He inspired a lot of people as he did me, and he will remain in our hearts.
Mr. Evans is a legend here for his stories. He is telling his stories about Chesterfield Avenue to Jesus now.
W.B., we love you. God bless you, your family and your Lancaster News family.
Carl M. Miles
Lancaster Police Department Sgt. Dustynn Burlingame deserves public praise for the courage and restraint he demonstrated by not discharging his weapon at a suspect who presented a handgun while being detained.
Sheriff's Deputy Aaron Carroll also deserves credit for assisting Sgt. Burlingame in the apprehension of the subject.
Their actions shortly after midnight on Sunday, June 26, brought to mind a saying I heard years ago: "We sleep peacefully at night because brave men and women are patrolling our streets and protecting our homes."

Health Wagon looking for 12 kids needing oral surgery
WISE, Va. - The Health Wagon in Wise, Virginia is taking appointments for up to twelve children that need oral surgery due to dental problems.
The dental problems need to be extensive. That means the child must be put asleep in order to have the operation.
This service is offered in conjunction with the Remote Area Medical Health Expedition that will happen in July.
The free surgery will be performed at Norton Community Hospital by a pediatric oral surgeon.

I'm doing a pretty crappy job of sticking to my new year's resolutions. That alcohol-free January turned into a couple beers at a pub on Saturday night and while I may have been laying low on the baking end of things, I've been consuming more than my fair share of sugar via sauces and marinades lately. Sigh.
There is one resolution I'm holding strong to, though. Naturally, the one that sticks is the one that involves making and eating food.
This year, I resolved to set aside one weekend morning a month for homemade breakfast production. Restaurant-style. I made this one of my resolutions because I so often ignore breakfast as a fun time to experiment in the kitchen and I'm constantly bookmarking vegan breakfast recipes that I never really end up making.
I actually almost forgot about this resolution, too, but thankfully remembered at the last minute, with just one weekend remaining in the month.
The last few breakfasts that I have actually made have been of the savoury variety, so for January's Breakfast-of-the-Month I decided to go with sweet. I recruited the help of VeganYumYum, stole my mom's waffle iron, and got to work on a snowy Sunday morning.
This recipe calls for vegan blueberry yogurt, so it presents the perfect opportunity to gush about my latest product addiction - coconut milk yogurt! So Delicious Coconut Milk Yogurt might be old news to those of you south of the border, but this container of magical goodness has just now found its way into my neck of the woods.
If you follow me on Twitter you might remember a TwitPic from a couple weeks back, featuring a vegan yogurt breakfast parfait from Cafe Pyrus in downtown Kitchener.
I ordered the parfait and one of their lovely staff members brought it to our table. I savoured the first couple bites before sharing one with Paul and he looked at me kind of funny before saying, "Are we sure this is vegan? This can't be vegan." It tasted so much like traditional yogurt that we thought we maybe got confused while reading the daily specials and ordered ourselves a non-vegan dish (which the odds were not in favour of - Cafe Pyrus is 99% vegan). In panic, I went up to the counter to ask and they showed me the So Delicious container, which proudly boasts the "V" for Vegan symbol on the side.
Of all the things you learn to (and then happily) live without when going vegan, yogurt doesn't usually rank all that high on the list. I mean, yogurt? But honestly, after four years without, it turns out that I forgot just how much I used to like eating yogurt.
The problem now is that this product is not necessarily cheap and I am eating entirely too much of it. Although Yogurt Spoons have replaced Peanut Butter Spoons in my snack repertoire and that is certainly a move in the right direction.
Now, before I continue, I have a confession to make. The only kind of waffle I've ever made is the one that goes from the freezer aisle to the freezer to the toaster. And because I thieved the waffle maker, I didn't have an instruction booklet or any sort of working knowledge about how to operate it. My many thanks to those on Twitter for walking me through the process!
Lauren Ulm of VeganYumYum tops these waffles with a lemon icing. I didn't have enough icing sugar to make it. Instead we opted for agave nectar, because those freezer aisle-freezer-toaster waffles I used to eat were always topped with honey, and golden syrup is what I most associate with this kind of breakfast. From there we topped them with fresh fruit and packed 'em back in our pajamas while making our way through the Lost series for the millionth time.
Waffles are a little annoying to make with a single-serving waffle iron like the one I used, because there's no way to do a bunch and then sit down for a leisurely breakfast. They take about 5-10 minutes apiece to make, and they don't stay warm for very long. You have to eat those suckers piping hot, right off the iron, while the next one is cooking up. But that's okay, too.
If you don't have a copy of VeganYumYum, you can also find this recipe for blueberry waffles here, on Lauren's blog.

Meet Fanny Sit. Or Devil Law. And have you heard of Ice Wong, who was arrested last year on drug charges?
According to Joyce Man, writing in Atlantic, bizarre English words are all the rage as first names for babies born in Hong Kong. But why?
The practice goes back to colonial times. "There was a period when it seemed desirable or prestigious to have an English name," said Stephen Matthews, an associate professor of the linguistics department at the University of Hong Kong's school of humanities. "Businessmen would take on English names as a mark of sophistication or to show they did business with foreigners."
But the significance of English language names has evolved over time, says Stephen Matthews, a linguistics professor at the University of Hong Kong."It started as an inadequate knowledge of English, but if you see an unusual name today, it's because [Hong Kongers] are taking charge of their own language, not because their language abilities are not good," Matthews said. "People feel they can do what they want with English. If you tell Decemb or Februar that theirs are not English names, they'll say, 'I don't care, it belongs to me.' In a way, they're asserting their Hong Kong identity... [The English language in Hong Kong] is no longer a symbol of British influence, but part of people's identity."

Our Sun is about to take a break for the summer, albeit a brief repose noticeable only by people in Southern and Central Africa.
However, while the first total eclipse of the new millennium will not be visible from the United States, it will be made available live, from the Southern African nation of Zambia, to the rest of the world through NASA Television. The June 21st astral performance also is available to internet users who have high-speed internet connections.
Watching a total eclipse means different things to different people. Daylight fades in the middle of the day as the Moon slowly covers the face of the Sun, creating an eerie dusk as a shadow is cast on the Earth's surface.
Our ancient ancestors considered an eclipse to be a bad omen, and often carried out various rituals in an effort to scare away suspected evil forces that devoured the Sun. Today, scientists travel around the world to study this rare event and millions of people are satisfied to simply watch this celestial display of nature.
A science team will be in Zambia to capture video images of the eclipse using specially equipped telescopes. Besides being streamed live to the rest of the world, these images will be broadcast to about 110 participating museums and other venues.
This year, the event will focus on the themes of solar maximum, habitability of space and living with the Sun. "A total solar eclipse provides great opportunities to engage and inform the public about NASA's Sun -Earth Connection science and the effects of the active Sun in space and on Earth, " said Dr. George Withbroe, Science Director of the Sun-Earth Connection theme at NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC.
A message from the Expedition Two crew on board International Space Station is part of the webcast, which includes a conversation with American astronauts Jim Voss, Susan Helms and Russian Commander Yury Usachev.
NASA also will take viewers one million miles into space to see how scientists use artificially generated eclipses to study enormous solar eruptions. Scientific teams going to Africa for the eclipse will rely on the ESA-NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft to show them the Sun's weather during the event.
Several NASA centers plan events associated and some of its Centers are planning comprehensive solar eclipse events:
* Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD - Dr. Paal Brekke, European Space Agency, will present a multimedia summary from SOHO's observations in the Albert Einstein Planetarium at Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, Washington, DC, from 12:20 p.m. to 12:50 p.m. EDT. More information is available on the Internet at: http://www.gsfc.nasa.gov/
* Jet Propulsion Laboratory Pasadena, CA - Students from the Los Angeles area can watch the webcast, look through solar telescopes and hear African-American Scientists and members of the National Society of Black Physicists discuss how the Sun effects the Earth and how minority students can get more involved in science. For additional internet information, go to: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/
* Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, AL - Reporters and other media representatives are invited to interview NASA astronomer Mitzi Adams, who will be in Zambia to witness the eclipse. Telephone interviews are available by contacting Steve Roy at 256/544-6535. More information is available on the Internet at: http://www.msfc.nasa.gov/newsroom
To view the eclipse from a high-speed internet connection, visit the World Wide Web at: http://www.exploratorium.edu/eclipse
A complete list of participating museums can be found on the web at:http://www.exploratorium.edu/eclipse/zambia/participants.html
NASA TV will carry the eclipse from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. EDT. Stations carrying this feed are requested to super "Courtesy: NASA/Exploratorium." NASA TV can be found on GE-2, Transponder 9C, at 85 degrees West longitude, vertical polarization, with a frequency of 3880 MHz and audio of 6.8 MHz.

A New Classic in the City Different
Hotel Chimayó de Santa Fe • Santa Fe, NM
Escape Kit
- A One-Night ($99) or Two-Night ($169) Stay for Two in Santos King or Retablos Double
- Or, a Two-Night Stay for Two in a Mission King Suite ($199)
- Two Drinks at Low 'n' Slow Lowrider Bar
- Complimentary Parking
- Combine Unlimited Vouchers for an Extended Stay
Stylish, boutique hotel just steps from the historic plaza, plus classic New Mexican food and drink at the on-site bar and restaurant.
The Destination
With a name that means "holy faith" in Spanish, it's no surprise that Santa Fe captures the creative spirit of the Pueblo Indians who first occupied this desert setting. Surrounded by the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the rugged landscape of this Northern New Mexico city serves not only as a muse for local artists but as a playground for hikers, skiers, and horseback riders. Wander amid the shrines and touch the warm adobe walls of the squat structures that date to the early 1600s at the San Miguel Mission, or take in the more recent artwork at Santa Fe's myriad museums.
The Digs
The boutique Hotel Chimayó de Santa Fe, situated right downtown just steps from the plaza, is creatively appointed with original artwork and custom furnishings. Each of 56 suites—the largest in Santa Fe—features a king-size bed draped in luxury Frette linens, a separate sitting area, and a wood-burning fireplace. After a day exploring the city, return to the Low 'n' Slow Lowrider bar, where diamond-tuck upholstered seats and other artistic renditions of the lowrider culture complement a sophisticated list of cocktails as well as complimentary chips and salsa.
The Diversions
As the snow falls, you'll find yourself just 30 minutes from Ski Santa Fe, offering 660 acres of skiable terrain over 77 runs. In town, check out the Chapel of San Miguel, one of the oldest churches in the nation, where you'll practically feel the history dripping from its original adobe walls. Later, pay homage to the city's artistic heritage by browsing the open-air bazaar operated by local artists along the Palace of the Governors. Here you'll find one-of-a-kind, handcrafted turquoise jewelry or traditional clay pottery.

Selling the building does not mean the company would leave Finland. In fact, Nokia has stated in the past that moving the company abroad was not a consideration. It is also entirely possible, and likely, that Nokia could remain an anchor tenant in the complex after such a sale. Many corporations do not outright own many of the facilities where they have major operations, even headquarters buildings in some cases.
What is telling however is the effort that Nokia is making to pare down costs at every corner. Next to employees, physical infrastructure is typically a company's next biggest expense. The sale of the building may bring in around €250-million ($322-million). Such an infusion of cash would certainly help the struggling company. The timing of such a deal does coincide with Nokia's plan to lay off 10,000 employees by the end of 2013 as well as shutter other facilities in Germany, Canada, and at home in Finland.

I bought this hairbrush because I was in need of a new one and I had to use some of my Birchbox points. I am very happy with this purchase. The hairbrush does wonders helping to keep my long & thick hair untangled, even detangling some of the smaller snags that can come up with everyday. Very comfortable to hold and easy on the hair & scalp.5

Harvest America
What is Harvest America
The Good News of Jesus Christ is the most important message there is. That's why we're declaring 2017 the Year of Good News and proclaiming the gospel to a world in need through Harvest America—a live nationwide free event on June 11, broadcast live from the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, to thousands of host locations across the country—including churches, theaters, and living rooms.
With music from NEEDTOBREATHE, MercyMe, Jordin Sparks, Trip Lee, Phil Wickham, and Brennley Brown, I will present a clear gospel message and together we will deliver the Good News to a nation desperately in need of hope.Learn more
What people are saying
James MacDonald
Harvest Bible Chapel
Greg Laurie has been my friend for many years, and in that time I've seen God work through Greg's evangelistic preaching to reach thousands upon thousands of lives for Jesus Christ. Hosting Harvest America in your church is a unique and powerful way for the gospel to reach people in your community too.
Craig Groeschel
Life Church
There is no questions that Greg Laurie is making a huge impact for Christ and that lives are being changed by the thousands through Harvest America. If you are a follower of Jesus, this is the perfect opportunity to invite someone who doesn't know Christ to hear about the life transforming power of the Gospel.
Kevin Ezell
SBC North American Mission Board
Greg Laurie's focus on the Gospel is why so many Southern Baptist churches and pastors have been involved with Harvest over the past 25 years . . . I strongly encourage you to get involved as well.
Robert Morris
Gateway Church
When it comes to reaching the lost, I'm grateful that every generation has a Billy Graham, and Greg Laurie is a Billy Graham to our generation. Gateway Church wholeheartedly supports Harvest America, and I would encourage every pastor and church to partner with them to reach their cities for Christ.
Dr. Tony Evans
Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship
God has mightily used Greg in so many different ways and at many different venues. Because of him, many people are in the kingdom through Harvest America, the crusades, a dynamic church, a great testimony, a great man. I pray that you will join me and partner in the Harvest America outreach.
Steve Gaines
Southern Baptist Convention
Greg Laurie has been serving the Lord evangelistically since the early 1970s, when God changed his life during the Jesus Movement in Southern California. God has gifted Greg to give a clear, passionate, biblical presentation of the gospel. God uses him to call people to faith in Christ. I hope that you will invite your lost friends to this event, so that they can be saved.

On my machine the simple naive approach seems to work fine. That is
In[25]:= FindRoot[f12[x], {x, 2}, WorkingPrecision -> 20]
Out[25]= {x->1.6487220277297822898}
In[26]:= $Version
Out[26]= 8.0 for Mac OS X x86 (64-bit) (October 5, 2011)
