Obama's Iraq Plan Has a Killer Flaw—and Airstrikes Alone May Not Save It
Friday morning, with a humanitarian mission already underway, the United States began airstrikes on ISIS in northern Iraq. What had been the U.S. policy—to rely on local forces to contain ISIS while waiting for a new Iraqi government to reach a political solution—is finished. The new policy is still taking shape, but it may eventually lead to more involvement from the special operations troops who have been in Iraq for weeks.
President Obama said Thursday night he had authorized airstrikes to protect American personnel and the Yazidi minority group stranded by ISIS on top of Mt. Sinjar. A senior administration official later stressed to reporters that U.S. forces were not launching a "sustained campaign" against ISIS in Iraq.
But with the Kurds, America's closest allies in the fight, recovering from heavy losses, some analysts and military veterans say that airstrikes alone may not be enough to turn the tide. A sustained—if small-scale—campaign may be the only way to achieve that.
The Peshmerga, the Kurdish military, had been acting as a bulwark against ISIS, keeping the group tied up on a northern front while it also battled against the Iraqi military in the south and west.
Then, starting on Saturday evening, came the waves of ISIS attacks on positions in northern Iraq. A senior administration official described it as "a multi-pronged attack across hundreds of kilometers in northern Iraq." This official said ISIS "acted with tremendous military proficiency."
The Kurds were overrun. The surviving religious minorities and other vulnerable groups who had lived under their protection fled into the mountains to escape ISIS.
And now these vulnerable groups—especially the Yazidi, trapped around Mt. Sinjar without food or water before an American airdrop—are at risk of being slaughtered.
That's what triggered the current humanitarian crisis and the growing threat that impelled the U.S. to act. The airdrop mission consisted of a C-17 and two C-130 aircraft that were escorted by two F-18 fighters. The cargo planes dropped food and water for 8,000 people, according to a senior administration official, who added that there were no U.S. personnel on the ground on Mt. Sinjar.

Information Technology Strategic Plan
The current IT Strategic Plan for Fresno State was endorsed by the Academic Senate on April 22 following consultation with many campus constituencies during the fall and spring semesters. A copy of the full plan is available for download on the 'Documents' page.
The university community thrives on its mobile devices: smartphones, tablets and laptops. Students expect educational options that fit their busy lifestyles as they prepare for their chosen careers. The Information Technology Strategic Plan addresses those expectations in many engaging ways.
The Information Technology Strategic Plan is a four-year effort that will support the university's Strategic Plan for Excellence IV, which is the principal document outlining Fresno State's overarching goals through 2015. The plan is a continued outgrowth from the university's initial IT Strategic Plan in 2000. It is the result of nearly 20 meetings during the 2011-12 academic year.
As Fresno State embarks on its second century, our focus on students is stronger than ever. The Information Technology Strategic Plan will play a key role in demonstrating our commitment to student success and achievement.
The plan aims to broaden the use of technology to facilitate students' learning by
providing faculty support, supporting course redesign, and extending innovative class
scheduling. The plan also supports the growing research activity of faculty.
(See Strategic Plan for Excellence Theme 2 & 3)
Implementation of the plan will also improve the efficiency and effectiveness of campus
services and will ensure that infrastructure and technology assistance is maintained,
expanded and strengthened. It will open up paths to new opportunities such as serving
a diverse population from around the world and facilitating more collaborations with
California State University campuses and other institutions. Accessibility also also
continue to be an important priority.
(See Strategic Plan for Excellence Theme 4 & 5)
At the same time, Technology Services and Technology Innovations for Learning and Teaching (TILT) will both augment their skills as the university's primary Information Technology organizations. In addition, other faculty and staff with expertise will be encouraged to share their knowledge and insight.

SUPPLIER NEWS — Unilever has announced changes to its category and go-to-market structure to further support its growth plans and allow for a more efficient rollout of increasingly bigger and more scalable innovations. The changes include several executive moves, including the appointment of Dave Lewis, president of the Americas, as president of personal care, consisting of skin, deodorants, oral and hair.
Maybelline New York launched in July several new products, including its new Color Explosion Luminizing eye shadow and Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment concealer.
Color Explosion Luminizing eye shadow is the latest innovation from Maybelline New York's Eye Studio collection. Available in five shades, the eye shadow unleashes a surge of multidimensional color for a bold or intense eye effect. The suggested retail price is $10.99.
Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment concealer is the newest addition to the Instant Age Rewind Collection. It features an exclusive anti-aging formula and micro-corrector applicator, which is specially designed to correct the delicate eye area with flawless perfection. The suggested retail price is $9.99.

Porter Robinson officially announces new album with 10 hour video
Listen to Porter Robinson on iHeartRadio on iHeartRadio
Porter Robinson fans have been waiting for the producer to finally release his album for quite some time, and now he's given them some hope it's coming soon. He released a 10 hour video to announce his album, Worlds - that's right: 10 HOURS.
Back in the summer, we had a chance to chat with Porter at Tomorrowland in Belgium, and he told us a little bit about working on his album. He told us, "I would say the focus is left of center alternative music-inspired kind of lo-fi ish, but still loud and dancy and pretty album." He went on to say, "I wanna make music that makes you feel something, and that's what this album is all about. And hopefully people will be into it, if not, I still feel strongly that it's the best music I've made so far, and hopefully it'll resonate with the people who listen to my music."
The announcement video certainly gives off that "left of center"-kind-of-vibe. It starts off with some emotional, slow music, panning over some mountains, until cutting off into an "emergency" message. The duration of the video is simply flashes of the emoticon above, and graphics of animals, a hand, and more - all while the word "WORLDS" is repeated.
If you have 10 spare hours, check it out below!

The curse is finally over for the El Camino Real girls soccer team.
As successful as it has been in the City Section, winning 12 titles in 13 years, the Conquistadores have never won a Southern California Regional championship.
But the regional title is within ECR's grasp.
For the second straight game, Alex Marquez scored the match's lone goal as ECR advanced to Saturday's Div. I regional final with a 1-0 victory Thursday over visiting Downey.
El Camino Real became the first City Section girls team to reach the regional finals in the tournament's six-year history.
ECR will face West View (16-10-2) - a 2-1 overtime winner over Eastlake - in the final at 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Warren High School.
The Conquistadores had reached the regional semifinals the two previous years, suffering setbacks to Torrey Pins in 2011 and Aliso Nigel last season.
"We took it upon ourselves to break the semifinal curse," Marquez said. "We had to break the curse and we had to get to the finals."
ECR (19-3-4), which extended its unbeaten streak to 17 matches, used its speed to take control from the outset holding the ball deep in Downey territory.
Downey (23-5-3), which had its 18-match unbeaten streak snapped, withstood the pressure from the Conquistadores on the backline.
Marquez broke through in the 17th minute.
After a clearance in the her territory, Leslie Ramirez dribbled down the left side and sent a through ball to Marquez, who got behind two defenders.
Marquez drove to middle of the box and drilled a shot inside the near post on the left side.
"(Downey) wasn't that fast in the backline so I relied on my speed a lot," said Marquez, who also scored the lone goal in ECR's 1-0 quarterfinal win over Buchanan on Tuesday.
"They closed pretty good but it was just using our speed to get by them."
The Vikings almost tied the score in the 50th minute.
Krista Velasco's free kick hit the crossbar and took a bounce towards the right post.
Janeth Acuna tried to tap the ball inside the post, but her shot went over the net.
"We had two opportunities we didn't put away in the second half," Downey coach Rachel Godfrey said.
"I think (ECR's) speed caught us off guard a little. We ran with them. We hung tough and played with them."

/ Reforestation efforts restore a scarred Tribal landscape
Loading Tree...
Daniel Kessay, with the White Mountain Apache Tribal forestry department and Jan Pertruzzi with NRCS in Whiteriver, Ariz., review plans for ponderosa pine tree plantings.
Mack Nosie, with the White Mountain Apache Tribe forestry department, uses a hoedad to dig a hole for a ponderosa pine seedling in the shade of a burned tree stump, which protects the seedling from windy conditions that dry the trees.
By Beverly Moseley
Standing 6,000 feet on top of Limestone Ridge, the scars of a massive wildfire on Arizona's White Mountain Apache Reservation in east central Arizona are still visible. As far as the eye can see are bare mountain ranges where century-old ponderosa pines once stood.
A decade ago, the Rodeo-Chediski fire burned more than 270,000 acres and an estimated 80 million trees, leaving behind few pine trees to help seed the beginnings of a new forest.
"There is no seed source out here for the tree to establish again out here. So, one of the main things that we are doing in helping Mother Nature along is by artificially getting trees out here," said Daniel Keesay, field operations manager for the White Mountain Apache forestry department.
Experts estimate it could take planting 750,000 trees over 20 years to completely reforest the burned areas to historic levels. Tackling a reforestation project of this scope is expensive, time consuming and labor intensive. The White Mountain Apache Tribe's forestry department and the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service are working together to restore native ponderosa pines to a portion of the reservation's scarred landscape.
The Tribe is one of many across the U.S. that has received financial assistance through the USDA's StrikeForce for Rural Growth and Opportunity. This Tribe received assistance to plant 168 acres of ponderosa pine seedlings on Limestone Ridge.
The StrikeForce initiative addresses high-priority funding and technical assistance needs in rural communities in 20 states, including Arizona, with a special emphasis on historically underserved producers and communities in designated counties with persistent poverty.
This restoration process will not only help re-establish some of the Tribe's commercial timber sources and ensure pine forest for generations to come, it also will provide needed habitat for wildlife.
Jan Pertruzzi, NRCS district conservationist in Whiteriver, Ariz, has worked closely with the Tribe through StrikeForce
"These tax payer dollars are being very well spent. We hope for a very high success rate," Pertruzzi said. "Again, it depends on Mother Nature a lot of times. This funding enables conservation to be put on the land, and the people are getting a benefit from it."
StrikeForce provides an opportunity for landowners who have not traditionally worked with NRCS, such as tribes like the White Mountain Apache, to determine how to best leverage available financial assistance. Several other tribes are making improvements to their lands through StrikeForce.
For example, in Utah, NRCS and the Navajo Nation Department of Agriculturehelped two chapters of the Navajo Nation drill new livestock wells and safely decommission unusable, contaminated wells through StrikeForce.
Before the new wells were installed, members of the Teec Nos Pos and Red Mesa chapters had to truck in water from up to two hours away for their 1,000 or so cattle. NRCS is also helping the chapters install pipeline and troughs to provide multiple access points for cattle to drink.
"As far as our priority concern that we have for our community, the way we want to see in the future – five,10,20 years down the line for our new generation – is to have better water quality to meet the needs of our livestock," said Herman Farley, president of the Red Mesa Chapter.
In New Mexico, Santo Domingo Pueblo residents worked with NRCS to save water by improving soil health through conservation practices such as rotating crops and planting cover crops. Healthy soil retains more moisture, allowing for less water to be applied during irrigation.
StrikeForce also helped the tribe installed an efficient underground water irrigation system to replace some of the aging earthen irrigation ditches to 50 fields that stretched across more than 200 acres.
"We're now studying another area just south of our village to consider putting in a similar irrigation system for about 300 more acres," said Jonathan Garcia, Water Resources Manager for the Pueblo.. "On a scale of 1 to 10, the project's success has been an 11."
StrikeForce is creating conservation opportunities in rural communities and tribes across the nation. Learn more.

(written from a Production point of view)
B'Elanna Torres receives vivid dreams from an unknown passenger aboard Voyager.
- "Captain's log, stardate 50203.1. We're three days away from Enara Prime, home of the passengers we picked up from a colony in the Fima system. Our high warp capability has greatly reduced the time it takes them to make the journey home. In return, the Enarans have shared their energy conservation technology with us and, perhaps more importantly, their friendship."
- "Captain's log, stardate 50211.4. We're approaching Enara and preparing to host a farewell party for our guests. They've made every effort to help us understand their telepathic abilities but it's still a mystery why they've affected Lieutenant Torres so strongly."
The USS Voyager crew picks up passengers directed to their homeworld, Enara Prime, and learns of their telepathic ability. They are able to share their experiences through a telepathic link. To do so, they usually place themselves behind the other person and place a hand between their shoulders.
The engineering staff, specifically B'Elanna and Harry are working with a group of the visiting guests to install their energy conservation technology and decide to call an end to the evening's work. Harry and Jessen go off to dinner and B'Elanna retires to bed for the night. While in bed, B'Elanna has a vivid dream about having a passionate love affair with a young Enarran male. She oversleeps the next morning and Chakotay comes to wake her. B'Elanna confides to Chakotay about the dreams and her excitement about the love affair they portray; although she is puzzled at each dream advances the story and swears him to silence.
During a party, such a telepathic link is used by Jor Brel, the Enaran leader, to drive Captain Kathryn Janeway to play a traditional Enaran musical instrument. She is upset because she didn't expect such an intense contact but at the same time she appreciates the experience. Jor Brel apologizes and the incident is settled.
Before long, Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres begins having intense, sensuous dreams of herself as a Enaran young girl named Korenna Mirell involved in a forbidden romance with Dathan Alaris, a member of the Regressives, a subgroup which once resisted Enaran technology.
When one of these dreams catches her in daytime, she is brought to sickbay unconscious and The Doctor finds signs of telepathic activity. The Enarans are then questioned but they deny being the source of such activity.
The dreams turn haunting for Torres as the young girl's father, Jareth, participates in a resettlement of the Regressives – and eventually their total extermination.
Torres finds Jora Mirell, the old Enaran woman who is transmitting her those dreams, which are a summary of her personal experience as a young girl. Jora forces her to receive the last part of the story and dies immediately thereafter. The last part of the story shows that Korenna turning against her lover and cheering as part of a mob. After this, Korenna is shown as a teacher working with students and telling the children that the Regressives killed each other. Before dying however, she suggests that others of her group found out what she had been doing and have killed her in retribution in order to keep the affair a secret.
Strongly affected by the horrible visions, Torres realizes that the Enarans have concealed a part of their history from their descendants and that one of them aboard Voyager doesn't want her buried memories to die. She walks into the goodbye party organized for the Enarans and tells everybody about what she has discovered. The older Enarans refuse to admit that what she experienced was a true story, while the younger ones refuse to believe her. Torres also accuses the chief of the Enarans of having killed Jora Mirell. Janeway is shocked and tells B'Elanna she will speak to the Doctor to confirm the cause of death of Jora Mirell and then meet B'Elanna in her ready room an hour later.
Janeway decides to allow the Enarans disembark and takes no actions to force them to reckon their history. Janeway admits that she had The Doctor discretely examine Jora Morell for signs of foul play and that he found none; implying that she believes B'Elanna and trust in her word as one of her officers. Torres reluctantly accepts that if they want to conceal a part of their history from themselves it is their right to do so. However, Janeway has trade negotiations as well as shore leave cancelled, and orders that Voyager leave orbit as soon as all the Enarans have disembarked. Janeway mentions that the Enaran engineers are still packing up their equipment, and suggests that if Torres has anything more to say, she should talk to them. Torres thanks Janeway and leaves.
In engineering, Torres meets Jessen, an Enaran engineer she has worked with during the previous days, who strongly refuses to believe her. Torres asks her to search her history when she returns to Enara Prime and wishes to be able to transmit her the memories she has received from the old woman. Convinced by Torres' earnestness that she might be telling the truth, Jessen offers to establish the telepathic link and in turns she begins experiencing the same story herself.

Memorable quotes Edit
"Maybe he's right. The Enarans haven't shown any hint of subterfuge, any hidden agenda. They've been nothing but straightforward and honest. You're in no immediate danger. They'll be gone in another day. The situation will resolve itself."
"And yet, you fully intend to continue investigating."
"I wonder how long it's been since I did anything that surprised you."
- - Captain Janeway and Tuvok
"Why don't you go on without me."
(Harry Kim and Jessen leave)
"No, really. I insist."
- - B'Elanna Torres
"I don't think satisfying your curiosity is worth risking brain damage, lieutenant."
- - The Doctor, to Torres
"I wish... I had your abilities. I could just show you."
"You would do that? Share your experiences openly?"
"Of course."
- - B'Elanna Torres and Jessen
"So that's it? We just go on our merry way and nobody ever has to take any kind of responsibility?"
- - B'Elanna Torres to Captain Janeway
Background informationEdit
Story and scriptEdit
- This episode was meant as a parable to the Holocaust and was conceived of as a Deanna Troi episode for Star Trek: The Next Generation. Joe Menosky, co-writer of the episode's story, recalled, "That episode was actually a Next Generation story that Brannon [Braga] and I came up with a long, long time ago, and it was going to be a Troi story. Lisa [Klink] took it over and reworked it and made it a Voyager episode." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 29, No. 6/7, p. 92)
- The final draft of this episode's script was made on 16 July 1996. [1]
Cast and charactersEdit
- Actress Roxann Dawson was thrilled with the teleplay of this episode. She remarked, "It was a brilliant script [....] I felt the show had something to say." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #12) Additionally, Dawson enthused, "I loved the story – it was so well written." (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 2, p. 18)
- Dawson also enjoyed appearing in this episode, as well as the connections between her two roles of Torres and Korenna Mirell. The actress raved, "I loved having the opportunity to do that show [....] I loved being able to play the two characters, and how Korenna's life influenced B'Elanna's." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #12) In fact, Dawson cited this episode – towards the end of Voyager's seventh and final season – as being "the episode I'm probably most proud of," and further said, "It was a great opportunity to play two characters, really." (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 2, p. 18)
- Roxann Dawson's performance herein made the episode a prominent one for both Lisa Klink and director Winrich Kolbe. Following her work on the third season, Klink remarked, "[Roxann] was amazing in this episode. I think that all of our actors are very good, but in this particular instance, this one performance stands out in my mind from the whole season as just being remarkable." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 29, No. 6/7, p. 92) At the end of Voyager's fourth season, Kolbe said of "Remember", "That sticks out because of Roxann. She did a terrific job and she's getting better and better." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #15)
- An aspect of the episode that thrilled Roxann Dawson was the opportunity to perform alongside the actor who played Jareth. "Bruce Davison was extraordinary," Dawson commented. "I've always wanted to work with him. I had known of him since I lived in New York City, and he was just brilliant." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #12)
- Janeway actress Kate Mulgrew also enjoyed this episode. Midway through saying that she thought highly of both Roxann Dawson and Winrich Kolbe, Mulgrew enthused of their work here, "I loved 'Remember' which she [Dawson] shot with my boyfriend [Kolbe]." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 29, No. 6/7, p. 84)
- Ultimately, Brannon Braga was disappointed by this episode; he would have preferred that the episode had been done as an installment of TNG and felt that Schindler's List as well as subsequent awareness of the Holocaust had taken the edge off this episode's genocide-related story. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 29, No. 6/7, p. 92)
- On the other hand, Joe Menosky favored the episode's final form over its TNG origins. "I think, ironically enough, that it was better as a Voyager than it would have been as a TNG," he enthused, "and I think better as a Torres story than it would have been as a Troi story. Because in some ways, not having a 'sensitive' character and to be thrown into this situation is a little more effective." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 29, No. 6/7, p. 92)
- Winrich Kolbe was impressed with the writing of this episode. Referring indirectly to Roxann Dawson, Kolbe opined, "The story they built around her for that show was very good, very creative." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #15)
- This episode achieved a Nielsen rating of 4.7 million homes, and an 8% share. [2](X)
- Cinefantastique rated this episode 3 out of 4 stars. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 29, No. 6/7, p. 90)
- Star Trek Monthly scored this episode 3 out of 5 stars, defined as "Warp Speed". (Star Trek Monthly issue 24, p. 59)
- The unauthorized reference book Delta Quadrant (p. 145) gives this installment a rating of 6 out of 10.
- Executive producer Jeri Taylor stated that both this episode and the previous one ("False Profits") were examples of episodes which "didn't work", yet maintained that "Coda" and "Nothing Human" did work. (Star Trek: Voyager - A Vision of the Future)
- In this episode, Janeway quips to Tuvok, "I wonder how long it's been since I did anything that surprised you." Two episodes prior, in "The Swarm"; in that episode, Tuvok claims to be surprised by her decision to pass through the swarm's space. It should be noted, however, that "The Swarm" actually follows this episode in production order and has a later stardate (50252.3).

Vaginal bleeding in late pregnancy
One out of 10 women will have vaginal bleeding during their third trimester. At times, it may be a sign of a more serious problem. In the last few months of pregnancy, you should always report bleeding to your health care provider right away.
You should understand the difference between spotting and bleeding:
- Spotting is when you notice a few drops of blood every now and then on your underwear. It is not even enough to cover a panty liner.
- Bleeding is a heavier flow of blood. With bleeding, you will need a liner or pad to keep the blood from soaking your clothes.
What Causes Bleeding Later in Pregnancy?
When labor begins, the cervix starts to open up more, or dilate. You may notice a small amount of bleeding mixed in with normal vaginal discharge, or mucus.
Mid- or late-term bleeding may also be caused by:
- Having sex (most often just spotting)
- An internal exam by your health care provider (most often just spotting)
- Diseases or infections of the vagina or cervix
- Uterine fibroids or cervical growths or polyps
More serious causes of late-term bleeding may include:
- Placenta previa is a problem of pregnancy in which the placenta grows in the lowest part of the womb (uterus) and covers all or part of the opening to the cervix.
- Placenta abruptio (abruption) occurs when the placenta separates from the inner wall of the uterus before the baby is born.
What to Tell Your Doctor?
Your doctor or midwife may need to know these things to find the cause of your vaginal bleeding:
- If you have cramping, pain, or contractions
- If you have had any other bleeding during this pregnancy
- When the bleeding began and whether it comes and goes or is constant
- How much bleeding is present, and is it spotting or a heavier flow
- The color of the blood (dark or bright red?)
- Is there an odor to the blood?
- Is there fainting, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea? Is there a fever?
- If you have had recent injuries or falls
- When you last had sex and if you bled afterward
What Should Happen Next?
You can watch at home a small amount of spotting without any other symptoms that occurs after having sex or an exam by your health care provider.
- Place a clean vaginal pad and recheck every 30 - 60 minutes for a while.
- If spotting or bleeding continues,call your health care provider.If the bleeding is heavy or your belly feels stiff and painful, or you are having strong and frequent contractions,you may need to call 911.
For any other bleeding, you should call your health care provider right away.
- You'll be advised about whether you should go to the emergency room or to the labor and delivery area in your hospital.
- Your health care provider will also tell you whether you can drive yourself or should call an ambulance.

Connor Wood
Last week, I posted a piece on this blog that quickly became…quite controversial. In it, I claimed that religious commitment was positively correlated with personal stability, but negatively correlated with creativity. My aim was to point out what had long seemed to me a personally frustrating dynamic, and to raise questions about how to reconcile or overcome it. Many readers appreciated my perspective, but plenty more thought I was off in left field. Some rejected my claim that religion is associated with stability and tight relationships. Others questioned my working definitions of creativity, religion, and science. But the most common rejoinder was, "What about all the creative religious people, and spectacular religious art, throughout history?"

IMEC has successfully qualified a chipset consisting of custom high-quality EUV sensor dies. These are now being integrated in ASML's NXE:3100 EUV lithography tools in the field, improving the tools' overlay and critical dimension (CD) tool performance, IMEC said.
The sensors were processed according to ASML's custom designs and specifications, with focus on superior lifetime and sensitivity to direct and high EUV irradiation doses. Two of the sensors are designed to calibrate, align and focus tool's lens systems. They have been integrated in functional sensor modules, and are being integrated in the NXE:3100 machines in the field. A third sensor is designed to monitor the NXE:3300's EUV dose.
IMEC revealed that the next milestone in progress is to build and qualify the different sensors for the NXE:3300 by the end of 2011.

As Miss America 2009, Katie Stam often juggled intense workouts with a packed schedule of glitzy public appearances. To transition from sweat and reps to full-on pageant queen regalia, Stam would depend on two things: a cloth headband and clip-in extensions.
For traditional gym workouts, Stam found that a thick cloth headband soaked up perspiration, protecting her fine hair from slicking back flat. Drinking lots of cold water and keeping a towel on hand were also key moves.
Yet it was the hair extensions that made getting gorgeous a cinch afterward.
QUIZ: How Much Fitness Are You Getting?
"You can have them styled before you work out. When you finish your session, clip-in already fabulous hair that looks like you've spent the last several hours at a salon," says Stam. "They are an investment, but they last forever, and no one can tell the difference!"
For the fullest results, Stam keeps two kinds of clip-ins: a fuller, thicker sheet of hair, and then smaller one-inch pieces. Extensions can be styled just like natural hair with tools like flat irons and curling rods. In fact, they hold style better and longer than natural hair.
High-kicking up to 16 shows a week as a Radio City Rockette, Kandice Pelletier says that sweat has been a fact of her daily life for years. The former Miss New York swears by dry shampoo, citing Ojon as her favorite brand. The product can come as either an oil-absorbing powder you tap onto the scalp or in an aerosol that sprays an alcoholized version. Both drugstores and department stores sell a variety of brand options today.
However, Pelletier believes that keeping it simple can often make the biggest statement. "I think there is something really sexy about a confident woman putting her hair back in a clean ponytail," says Pelletier.
Meanwhile, running 20 to 25 miles a week and maintaining a regular routine of sit-ups, pushups, spin class and the treadmill keeps Montclair, New Jersey dermatologist Jeanine Downie, M.D. on her toes, while balancing the demands of a polished, professional image.
"Many of my African-American patients say to me 'What about your hair?' I struggle with the same issue as them, as I perm my hair every three months," she says. "But I would rather have a fit body and pull my hair back if I need to," shares Downie, who adds that she uses a scrunchie instead of an elastic to keep dents out of her strands. (Who knew the 90s could come back in such a helpful way?)
After working out, Downie opts for a diffuser instead of a blow dryer to absorb dampness while maintaining style. She sometimes set her hair in pin curls at night, so that the styling time is absorbed into snooze time.
And what of women for whom fitness is a 24/7 lifestyle?
Braids are the saving grace for Micaela Butcher, who is a senior Core Fusion teacher at New York's Exhale Mind Body Spa. Her days can consist of multiple sweat-inducing workouts, but she doesn't allow that to her slow her down.
"My hair texture is kinky-curly, so sometimes I'll braid it in a fun style, so that when I'm done, I'm already good to go."
QUIZ: How Healthy is Your Hair?

'Tamar & Vince' renewed for season 3
Listen to Tamar Braxton on iHeartRadio
Tamar Braxton is one busy lady!
Aside from co-hosting the daily talk show, "The Real," and touring her Grammy-nominated album, Love After War, she has just signed up for another season of "Tamar & Vince."
The show will return to WeTV this fall and will continue to follow the Braxton Family Values star on her journey to the top.
According to the press release, fans can expect to see Tamar work even harder than usual with the help of her manager/hubby, Vincent Herbert.
"Tamar works to expand beyond just being a successful recording artist, performer and mother. She is capitalizing on her hugely successful album drop by planning her first solo tour and working on a second album, while also beginning a new gig as a talk show co-host and trying to explore feature film work and developing a project for daytime TV. As Tamar's empire expands, with Vince at the helm, they realize serious communication issues are threatening everything they've worked so hard for, both at home and professionally."

254 Comments on "SAG Awards Telecast"
Yeah, I'm getting tired of the jokes too…unless they're not as straight as they claim to be.
Maggie always wins and she's never there.
In 1962, Rita Moreno won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in West Side Story. I guess she wasn't expecting the win, because she was very drunk. She made it up to the stage & it was the first time the home audience got to see a very drunk woman wobble, nearly topple, and slur her way to as acceptance. I was shocked because it was the first time I'd ever seen public drunkeness. And from a movie star, no less!
Zeeky Lizzy you can such the smelliest bull nuts from your backyard! Back off bitch!
I'm so happy to see Matt Mc win an award. He is a very good actor (see Time to Kill); he just made some bad choices on roles and got stereotyped as the go-to guy for rom coms.
This is a break-through for him. He's worked hard for it. Well done.
Thank you for your company, guys! And the nice compliments 🙂
And yes, keeshlo, I thought the same! 🙂
I'm sure I heard Julia Roberts say Ryan Seacrest was sick … about the same time she was blabbing on about fancying Jason Kennedy from E! … she was talking about flowers – not sure if she sent Jason flowers, or he sent them to her, but she was swooning about him … her poor husband! 🙁
Ciao 🙂
Shazbot! I mean, where do I go from here?? I'm just now seeing Ty Burrell win. West Coast represent!
@Sugar, I shall consider forgiving you.
One thing we can all be thankful for this evening –
No Seacrest on the carpet.
See you guys in the comments during the week, even though I'm usually late and lame for them.
Also, see you for the tacky extravaganza which is the Grammys next week, if at all possible. I'll rest my fingers this week.
Steampunk – you're awesome and I like your name. The rest of you are also awesome and this was fun.
This is so fun. Like having friends over for a viewing party! Cant wait til next award!
Ben didn't seem as wasted as he was last week but damn that man is MISERABLE and it shows.
His buddy Sweet Ass Matty Damon is there and everything.
Also, what is up with Brad's hair? Unattractive.
No Christian Bale – no Michael Fassbender – they're probably working, everyone likes the SAGs.
JLaw's working in Atlanta and she made it. Looked good too.
Next week – the GRAMMYS – there will be some seriously fucked up fashion and people there, for sure.
But… Cuba loves everybody!
Thanks everyone, it was like I was there, only bettah. Any idea which idol is next?
Well you guys were fab! Stepforded – you did yeoman's work there, for sure.
I want to go back and read all the comments I missed while I was blabbing away.
I'm glad someone mentioned the statue jock strap.
Oh That is too funny ninotchka, what a scam for five Minutes more CGJr.
Thanks everyone, great reporting!!! Lol
I quit many moons ago, ninotchka, but I'll male an exception
God. I feel like we should all have a cigarette now.
That's all folks!
Tune in next week for … can't recall, but I'm sure there's something!
What the Hell? Microphone bombing
Affleck sounds incredibly flat and and bored … what a doozey … he said thanks and good night
I'm Magic cause I knew that, lol
Oh look here's Bradley with his bedroom eyes … #hot
He's speaking on behalf of the cast
Wow Jennifer Lawrence is really tall – a good 40cm taller than Amy Adams
And the Actor goes to:
The cast of American Hustle
Here's Douchebag Affleck.
He'll be presenting best film …
Is re-announcing them …
Cate is annoyed at being told to wrap up … is making a fantastic speech – very grateful to Woody, the cast, the crew, generous ensemble …
Said she's been married 17 years, with agent for 17 years, and with publicist for 17 years … thanks so much to all those people, my biggest achievement.
Yay! My fave and a Julia Shut Out!
@Charlie – inflated ego syndrome, I think
Cate just jacked the statue. Get it, girl!
This is the first win in this category for Cate.
She said she didn't recognise Robert De Niro!
Thanked her fellow nominees.
Said she's been away from films for a while making theatre (O/T she owns Sydney Theatre Company) … so is very happy to win this.
DeNiro seemed quite wooden up there. Was he blackmailed into presenting?
And the Actor goes to …
Cate Blanchett!
Here is Robert De Niro …
The nominees for outstanding performance by a female actor in a leading role are:
Cate Blanchett for Blue Jasmine
Sandra Bullock for Gravity
Judi Dench for Philomena
Meryl Streep for August: Osange County
Drunky for Saving Mr Banks
If he were really serious about winning an Oscar, Leto would cut his hair. The old ladies and old men who make up the bulk of Academy voters would prefer him to be shorn, well-groomed and clean-shaven.
Just sayin'.
Of course he'll probably still win, if the GG's and SAG's are any indication (they are) so maybe he doesn't have to bother.
@ Seven,Jared leto Must get a haircut STAT! It will save me from will arnett snakeman…:-D
JLaw looks GREAT!!
Did ramble a bit at the end
I liked his passion. Not a droning thanks to fill in the blank
Come on, wrap it up buddy … we have 8 minutes left … and two awards to go …
Good for him!
Have to admit, pretty damn good speech from Matthew
Speech is a bit of long one full of self-love about the acting fraternity …

that one with vin diesel was my faivroite but the skyfall beat it by a long way.
I have seen only 2 or 3 007 movies. I liked Casino Royale, but the older films with Pierce Brosnan, are too liars.
MMA Tycoon - Free Online MMA Management Game - www.mmatycoon.com
I loved Skyfall thought they did a really good job with it! Loved the gritty feel of it. Also liked Casino Royale but quantum of solace was horrible.
Overall Bond though my picks would be Goldeneye, World is not enough, Spy who Loved me and for your eyes only.
I'm a big fan but love them all.
started rewatching all the Bond films in order. Watching one every weekend cause that's all I have time for really. But really enjoying this. Watched the first 4 so far.
Sherdog.com - The number one MMA site on the web today!
well my pace is slowed. But watched 9 now and here are my updated rankings upon these viewings.
1. Goldfinger
2. From Russia with Love
3. Thunderball
4. You Only Live Twice
5. The Man with the Golden Gun
6. Dr. No
7. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
8. Live and Let Die
9. Diamonds are Forever

Mine would be
Some random 007 film I watched as a kid. Not seen Skyfall but Casino Royale was a bit shit. Not that fussed on Bond to be fair, the Roger Moore / Sean Connery ones were better, at least they took the piss and were tongue in cheek.
Fucking invisible Aston Martin did it for me, just no.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
yeah, that was some serious bullshit. Horrible movie. Wind boarding that giant wave was always ridiculous.
The first Bourne was good but the second and third I was was not a fan of.

Have you seen the new one with Jeremy Renner? Thats pretty decent I thought.
Also watched Olympus has fallen the other night - cheesy big budget action movie, entertaining, better than most Bond films I have seen to be fair.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
Just rewatched Moonraker. Holy shit. Much worse than I remember.

Have you considered trying to upload another payload via php session, maybe with the payload backdoored to a legitimate windows executable? Or using some other encoding type to bypass the AV and establish a full session.
Another thing you might want to give a try would be a java payload perhaps? Although I don't know if you have java installed.
If you cannot kill the AV process as admin, I would think the only approaches would be: Encoding to bypass or privilege escalate to kill it (which may be difficult with your limited PHP functionality).

How Gospel singing may have saved kidnapped boy
(NEWSER) – After Willie Myrick, then 9, was taken from his home in Atlanta, the kidnapper drove for several hours, police say—and all the while, Willie sang. The song was "Every Praise," a gospel tune recorded by Hezekiah Walker. "He was cursing at me, telling me to shut up, and didn't want to hear a word from me," Willie tells WSB-TV. "He said if I told anyone, he would hurt me, like in a bad way."

The IWLCA has recognized 13 collegiate mentors as 2012 Coaches of the Year in their respective regions, with three being honored as National Coach of the Year. Divisional champions Kate Livesay from Trinity, Meghan McNamara from C. W. Post, and Kelly Amonte Hiller from Northwestern each led their teams to the NCAA title and were selected by their peers to receive the national recognition.
In Division III, Livesay led the Bantams to their first NCAA title in program history. She has led the program to an 87-22 record over the last 6 seasons, giving her the highest winning percentage (.870) of any women's lacrosse coach in Trinity history. In the 2011-2012 campaign, Livesay led the Bantams to a program-best record of 21-1, topping the previous record her squad set in 2010-2011 (18-1). In her 6 years at the helm, Livesay has been named NESCAC Coach of the Year three times (2007, 2011 & 2012). Livesay has guided the Bantams to the NESCAC Championships all six years of her tenure as head coach and added an impressive five visits to the NCAA Tournament. In the last two seasons alone, Livesay has coached seven All Americans. Three of Livesay's players were named All-Americans this season, five were named to the NESCAC All-Conference Team, and senior midfielder, Liz Bruno, was named the National Women's Lacrosse Midfielder of the Year. This season, Livesay's squad set new Trinity records for goals scored in a season (264), points in a season (355), shots in a season (571), and draw controls in a season (265). Livesay also achieved both a second consecutive NESCAC Championship and the first NCAA Tournament Championship in Trinity College Women's Lacrosse history this season. Livesay was also named the Berkshires Coach of the Year.
Six of Livesay's colleagues were honored as Regional Coaches of the Year. Missy Foote (Middlebury), Jen Dragoni Muston (York), Jim Nestor (Salisbury), Sharon Pfluger (TCNJ), Kathy Taylor (Cortland), and Michele Uhlfelder (Occidental) each earned a nod by the IWLCA. Foote, representing the Pilgrim region, led her team back to the final four for the first time since '07. Middlebury finished the season with a 15-5 record overall, winning the NCAA Regional at Gettysburg before advancing to the final four. The team also advanced to the NESCAC title game, falling to eventual national champion Trinity. Foote was recently named to the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame, finishing up her 32nd season with a career mark of 376-101-1.
Muston led the 2012 York College squad to a record-setting campaign. In just the seventh season of varsity competition, the Green and White went 14-5 and earned the school's first ever women's lacrosse NCAA Tournament berth. The 14 wins, coupled with a Capital Athletic Conference championship game appearance, were notable accomplishments as Muston earned her second straight CAC Coach-of-the-Year award. In 2011, York went 13-4 and earned a first-ever berth in the CAC semifinals. Since Muston's arrival prior to the 2008 season, York has posted a 55-31 mark including ten-plus wins in four of her five seasons. For her career, Muston has coached 15 of York's 18 All-Capital Athletic Conference honorees, including a program-best seven selections this spring.
Pfluger had another successful year at TCNJ leading the Lions to the NJAC Championships and then directed the team to the NCAA quarterfinals. TCNJ finished the year with 16 victories and on a personal note, Pfluger garnered her 400th career win on April 24 against Stevens Institute of Technology. The Lions (16-4) boasted the second best defense in Division III allowing 6.35 goals a game and ranked fourth in scoring margin with a difference of plus-8.85 goals a contest. This season also saw TCNJ's all-time scoring record fall as senior Leigh Mitchell finished her career with 398 points and became the only play in program history to record three 100-point seasons. She also set school records for assists in a career, season, and game as well as points in a game.
In his 11th season at the helm, Nestor guided the Salisbury University women's lacrosse team to the program's fifth national championship game and the Sea Gulls' 10th straight Capital Athletic Conference championship. Salisbury tied the school record for wins in a season, going 22-1 in 2012, spending six weeks atop the IWLCA top 20 coaches poll and finished the season No. 2. The Sea Gulls opened the season with 22-straight wins, matching the school record for consecutive wins. Nestor's team had four players honored as All-Americans, including three student-athletes on the First Team and attacker Katie Bollhorst was named 2012 CAC Player of the Year. The Sea Gulls were the top-ranked defense (5.00 goals per game) in the nation and the 19th-ranked offense (15.43 goals per game). In his 11 seasons as Salisbury's women's lacrosse head coach, Nestor has posted a record of 198-24, including a 68-2 mark in the CAC. Under his guidance, the Sea Gulls have won 87 consecutive CAC contests.
Taylor completed her fourth season as Cortland's women's lacrosse head coach in 2012. She has led Cortland to a combined 72-14 record (.837), four State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) tournament titles and four NCAA Div. III tournament appearances. Taylor's 72 victories are third in Cortland history and her .837 winning percentage ranks as the best in program history. Eleven of her players have earned All-America honors, including three in 2012, two of which made the first team. She has coached Cortland's first-ever four-time All-American who finished her career as the Red Dragons' all-time leader in goals, assists and points and third in scoring in Division III history. This past season, Taylor led Cortland to a 20-2 record, including 19 wins in a row, a 14th consecutive SUNYAC title and a second straight appearance in the NCAA Div. III Final Four where the Red Dragons tied for third nationally, falling to eventual national champion Trinity in the semifinals. The 20 wins were the second-most in program history behind only the 21 victories from last season. Besides the three All-Americans, Taylor coached six all-region players, six All-SUNYAC players, the SUNYAC Player of the Year and the Elite 89 Award winner this season.
Uhlfelder led the Occidental women's lacrosse team to a 13-4 overall record, its first SCIAC Championship game and its first NCAA Division III playoff appearance in just the program's third year. After winning eight games combined in their first two seasons, the Tigers went on a 10-game winning streak in 2012 that spanned nearly two months. In the first round of the NCAA playoffs, Oxy was just one goal away from advancing before losing 15-14 to Redlands. Laxpower.com ranked the Occidental College women's team one of the seven most improved NCAA Division III schools during 2012 and Uhlfelder was recently selected as an assistant coach with Team Canada for the 2013 Women's Lacrosse World Cup. The Tigers finished the season ranked No. 2 in the West Region without any seniors on their roster. They had six players named All-SCIAC and had their first player ever named to the IWLCA All-West Region team.
In Division II, C. W. Post's Meghan McNamara just completed her fifth season as head coach of C.W. Post, and reached the pinnacle of success this season as the Pioneers won the 2012 NCAA Division II National Championship, defeating West Chester, 17-16. This year's appearance in the NCAA Championships was a record tenth for the Pioneers, and McNamara's team ended the season with the top ranking in the IWLCA poll. C.W. Post ended its season with a 17-3 record, tying the program record for wins in a season. Several other records also fell under McNamara's tutelage, include most goals in a season (team - 337), single-season scoring (Ashley Olen – 74), single-season assists (Jackie Sileo – 96) and single-season points (Sileo – 141). The Pioneers outscored opponents 337-177 this season and were ranked top ten nationally in several categories: first in points (525), fifth in scoring offense (16.85), sixth in scoring margin (8.00), and sixth in scoring defense (8.85). McNamara also had five players earn IWLCA All-America first team honors, five players named to the IWLCA North Region teams, and ten players garnered spots on the All-East Coast Conference teams, including Coach of the Year honors for McNamara. In her five seasons as head coach, McNamara has posted a 79-14 record.
Rollins Colleges' Dennis Short was hired in March 2007 to start a Division II varsity women's lacrosse program at Rollins– the first intercollegiate program in the state of Florida. In just five short years, he has built the Tars into a national powerhouse. Rollins reached new heights in 2012, posting a record of 15-2 and advancing to the semifinals of the NCAA Division II National Championship as the No. 1 seed in the South Region. The Tars won 15 straight games to start the season and were the last undefeated team in the nation. They were ranked as high as No. 3 in the IWLCA Division II poll and finished ranked fifth. Short coached the Tars to the second-best scoring offense in the nation, putting up nearly 18 goals a game. Led by goalie Elyse De Lisle, the defense allowed a NCAA fourth-best 8.5 goals a game as Rollins outscored opponents by nearly 10 goals a game during the season. Short mentored five IWLCA All-America selections in 2012, including two first team honorees. In his career at Rollins, Short has guided eight All-Americans.
In Division I, Northwestern's Kelly Amonte Hiller once again found a way to have her team play its best lacrosse in the NCAA Tournament, capturing the program's seventh national championship in the last eight years with a pair of two-goal wins in the NCAA semifinal and title games. The team finished 21-2 overall, with 11 wins over opponents ranked in the top-10 and a 5-1 mark in games decided by two goals or fewer. The 2012 Wildcats ranked second nationally in scoring defense (7.48 GAA) and held all four of their NCAA Tournament opponents to seven goals or fewer. After losing the draw control battle to Florida, 18-5, in the ALC Championship game, Amonte Hiller's Wildcats went on to win the draw in their ensuing four NCAA Tournament games by an average margin of 13.0-5.8. Amonte Hiller this year became the winningest coach in NCAA Tournament history with 32 career tournament wins compared to just two losses.
Three other Division I coaches were honored as Regional Coaches of the Year. Jen Adams turned what could have been a rebuilding year for Loyola into one of the most successful seasons for the Greyhounds. Despite losing 73 percent of its scoring from a year ago, Adams led Loyola to its second straight BIG EAST title – knocking off No. 6 Notre Dame and No. 2 Syracuse in the conference tournament – and an appearance in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Championships. The 13-7 win over Syracuse in the BIG EAST title game marked the highest-ranked opponent the Greyhounds have defeated under Adams, and she also picked up her 50th career win in the regular season finale at UConn. Adams led Loyola to a school record 7-1 mark in BIG EAST play, with the Greyhounds' only loss being a 13-12 decision at Syracuse. Under her guidance, Loyola claimed BIG EAST Defender and Midfielder of the Year honors, while seven Greyhounds earned All-BIG EAST honors, including a school record six being first-team honorees and three being freshmen. Adams also saw Loyola earn its first pair of first-team IWLCA All-Americans since 2003. On the field, Adams turned her freshman class into one of the most potent offenses in the nation, with the group combining to contribute more than 50-percent of the team's goals and points and rank 27th nationally in scoring offense.
Gary Gait led Syracuse to its most successful season in school history in 2012. The Orange won a school-record 19 games and made its first appearance in the national championship game. Syracuse won a program-best 15 consecutive games at one point and climbed to No. 2 in the polls, its highest ranking in school history. Gait, the 2012 BIG EAST Coach of the Year, led SU to three wins against teams ranked in the top five and seven against top 10 teams. The Orange earned a program-best No. 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament and advanced to the national semifinals for the third time in the last five years. Syracuse posted the second-largest comeback in NCAA Championship history against Florida in the semifinals for the program's first win against a No. 1-ranked team. In addition, Syracuse went undefeated in BIG EAST play (8-0) for the second time since joining the league in 2001. Under Gait's tutelage, the Orange finished fourth in the nation in points (476), seventh in scoring margin (5.57) and eighth in scoring offense (14.57). Syracuse had the nation's leading scorer and several players ranked in the top 10 in numerous categories.
Amanda O'Leary led Florida to yet another record-breaking season in 2012. In just its third year, the Gators went 19-3 and won both the ALC regular-season title and the ALC Championship, finishing 8-0 on the year against ALC teams. Florida captured 10 wins over ranked opponents, including taking down No. 1 Northwestern twice, the seven-time National Champion's only two losses of the year. After a 4-2 start, O'Leary's Gators earned 15 straight victories, two conference titles and their first bid to the Final Four. The Gators became the youngest program ever to win back-to-back NCAA Tournament games, and O'Leary became just the third coach in NCAA history to appear in the Final Four as a player (Temple), an assistant (Maryland) and a head coach. The WomensLax.com National Coach of the Year led UF to finish in the top 5 nationally in almost every statistical category, including leading the NCAA in scoring defense. O'Leary's 2012 squad picked up a total of 14 All-America honors, two National Goalie of the Year honors, and featured both a Tewaaraton Award finalist and a Honda Sports Award finalist.

UAS Ketchikan Student and Faculty Awarded Alaska EPSCoR Grants
Ms. Haven received a $6,000 research award to study traditional Southeast Alaska Native foods and their contemporary uses.
Christopher Donar, Assistant Professor of Natural Science at the University of Alaska Southeast Ketchikan (UAS Ketchikan) was awarded a $24,167 Alaska EPSCoR (Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research) grant for the purchase of an Olympus BX53 high resolution microscope. The microscope will be used to produce a digital image database and taxonomic reference collection of diatoms and other microalgae collected from the aquatic ecosystems of southeast Alaska. This activity directly supports students in both Introduction to Microbiology and Natural History of Alaska by training students to collect, process and examine microorganisms and to become familiar with the procedures involved in identifying microorganisms in the Alaska marine environments. Assistant Professor Donar will conduct a "Rainbird Trail Bio-Blitz" with both UAS and Ketchikan High School students to demonstrate the astonishing biodiversity of microorganisms easily obtained in the immediate vicinity of UAS. The UAS Ketchikan Science Department will also conduct an ongoing research effort to collect and analyze algal floras taken from marine and freshwater habitats in the vicinity of the UAS Ketchikan campus. It is anticipated that the microscope will be delivered in February of 2011.
UAS Ketchikan student, Forest Haven, was awarded the Alaska EPSCoR 2011 Undergraduate Student Research Award. Ms. Haven received a $6,000 research award to study traditional Southeast Alaska Native foods and their contemporary uses. Her research will be based on interviews with Southeast Alaska Native Peoples from Ketchikan, Metlakatla and Hydaburg.
Alaska EPSCoR has also awarded a related travel grant to Forest Haven and Priscilla Schulte, UAS Ketchikan Professor of Anthropology / Sociology, who is the research project faculty advisor, to present the research findings to the 71st Annual Meeting of the Society for Applied Anthropology in Seattle, Washington. The meeting will be held March 29 through April 2, 2011.
Alaska EPSCoR is a university-state partnership which builds Alaska-based research and addresses national scientific priorities and training students for the 21st century technologically based workforce. EPSCoR programs aim to strengthen science and technology infrastructure for enhanced research competitiveness in universities, for broader participation of students in science, mathematics, and engineering, and for increased linkages among higher education, government agencies, and the private sector.

Fighting Wildfire With Satellites, Lasers, and Drones
Fire lookout technology has changed a lot since Jack Kerouac's Desolation Angels. The book was taken almost entirely from a diary Kerouac kept when he was fire lookout for 63 days on Desolation Peak in Washington. Now, satellite images, fuel analysis, and, soon, the use of drones, are among the high-tech methods for protecting wilderness and civilization from wildfires.
Some of the more important real-time fire data comes from MODIS, a sensor on two NASA satellites that view the entire earth's surface every one to two days. The sensors show heat sources (that's how a fire was first spotted in Noatak, Alaska by a fire manager looking at the data in the early 2000s). It was the first time a fire had been detected by satellite before humans noticed it, says Sean Triplett, the group leader for geo-spatial and information management at the U.S. Forest Service.
"Alaska is huge," Triplett says. "It's a long flight from one side of the state to the other. MODIS was really able to allow us to cover the whole state really quickly, since it sees a larger area."
After a fire, the U.S. Geological Survey's LANDSAT satellite can be used to determine the severity of the burn by comparing a pre-fire photo of an area to a post-fire one. The differences in brightness allow scientists to determine the normalized burn ratio, as well as to reflect the changes on the ground.
"Last year in Colorado, they had a large area of spruce mortality from beetles, so the fire got up and made large runs, burning out all the dead spruce," Triplett says. "When you overlaid the satellite imagery, we saw that when the fire got out of the areas of spruce mortality and running into live fuels, the fire laid down. So from a planning perspective, we can use natural resistance to help slow or stop fires."
Satellites are only part of the story, though. A major part of fire management has to do with fuel.
A prairie will burn at a different rate than a forest, so measuring the composition of fuels on the ground in an area prone to fire is critical, says Roger Ottman, a research forester at the Pacific Wildland Fire Sciences laboratory in Seattle, Washington. That's because dried-out grass burns faster than large woody debris, though large pieces of fuel will smolder longer. And in more complex ecosystems, where a meadow is next to a stand of dying trees, modeling the different burn rates for the different types of fuel may make a difference on how first-responders try to douse the fire.
For that, remote-sensing technology called LIDAR is used. Essentially, the sensor illuminates targets with lasers so the instrument can measure the distance and capture the composition of the fuel bed. As predictive modeling for fires and smoke are becoming more sophisticated, they require more data to make them work—which is why the LIDAR is used.

Piano Courses
The courses at Berklee are continually reviewed and evaluated so that they consistently reflect today's musical needs. In classes such as Contrapuntal Jazz Improvisation, Improvisational Theory, Piano Accompaniment Techniques, and Survey of Piano Styles, you will learn the history of your instrument, analyze its present-day challenges, and pursue an in-depth study of styles and techniques. Below is a list of all Piano courses for the upcoming semester.
A lab workshop specifically designed to improve the keyboardist's understanding and mastery of different rhythmic concepts and their application on the keyboard into various musical contexts. Students will learn percussion and speaking rhythms, which they will apply on the keyboard. The course material will be based on different rhythmic approaches of jazz performers such as Jelly Roll Morton, Thelonious Monk, Danilo Perez, McCoy Tyner, and others; 20th-century composers, including Olivier Messiaen, György Ligeti, and Alberto Ginastera; and a variety of global music styles.
Instrumental laboratory for piano principals emphasizing comping studies and the application of these techniques to a variety of pop music styles. There will be use of recorded material for play-along purposes.
Instrumental laboratory for piano principals emphasizing comping studies and their application to the funk/fusion idiom. Recorded material for play-along purposes.
Instrumental laboratory for piano principals emphasizing the application of comping techniques to a variety of Latin and Latin-influenced jazz and pop music styles. Use of recorded material for play-along purposes as well as transcriptions of comping of major Latin piano players.
Instrumental laboratory for piano principals emphasizing the application of comping techniques to a variety of roots of rock styles influenced by blues, New Orleans, and gospel music. Use of recorded material and transcriptions of influential players. Emphasis on in-class performance and play-along.
The course explores the rhythmic and harmonic/melodic vocabulary in Afro-Cuban piano improvisation. Phrasing with the clave is a main focus of the course. Percussion instrument patterns are explored in-depth as they relate to the clave and influence the role of the piano. Percussion (quinto) solos are analyzed and compared to piano solos. Broad exposure to a variety of piano solos will reveal typical elements of the idiom.
A performance lab intended for keyboardists with little or no experience in improvisation. Instructional focus is on understanding of materials of improvisation both theoretically and aurally, and assimilating these materials into established musical forms and styles. Learning methods include playing with tapes and MIDI sequences, various call-and-response activities, and writing, performing, and analyzing improvisations.
This course begins at a basic level of piano playing, keyboard theory, and harmony. The first half is focused on scales, diatonic harmony, triads applied to harmonic exercise, and composition. The second half covers all 7th chords in root position, an introduction to tensions, and sight-reading lead sheets. This lab is intensive and can be useful for a wide range of students, including those with limited prior experience on piano and students who have a classical background, but limited experience in jazz, theory, and improvisation.
This course covers all 7th chords, inversions, and harmonic tensions. It includes the application of 7th chords and 7th chord substitutes to tunes like "Giant Steps" and "Countdown." Class sessions include theory, harmony, chord-scales and the application of 7th chords in building harmonic structures and melodic lines. ILPN-272 is most appropriate for students who have prior experience on piano whether they are currently piano principals or students who have successfully completed ILPN-271.
This course is an advanced class that includes a review of the theory and exercises covered in ILPN-272: Jazz Harmonic Techniques for Piano 2 with a primary focus on chord voicing and voice-leading. The effective use of tensions as applied to jazz piano, composition, and arranging will be included. This course is appropriate for piano principals or non-piano principals; however, a strong command of the material in ILPN-272 or HR-211: Harmony 3 is necessary.
Instrumental lab for piano principals emphasizing fundamental techniques and skills involved in playing the Hammond organ in predominant contemporary styles, including jazz, R&B, blues, rock, and funk. Study of recorded examples and transcriptions of influential performers.
Instrumental lab for piano principals emphasizing techniques of playing the Hammond B3 organ in blues styles. Analysis and performance of blues and blues-related music including gospel, jazz blues, and soul.

Next morning, he had the satisfaction of hauling in the trap with the lamprey in a rampagious humour inside.
The lamprey was also with the Romans a pet fish: it is now rare.
A lamprey is brought in, extended in a dish, in the midst of floating shrimps.
The striking peculiarity of the lamprey is its life-history.
She is as transparent as a lamprey eel, then, or a youthful sardine?
In the lamprey the brain is more like that of the ordinary fish.
The length of the lamprey is generally from fifteen to eighteen inches, and its color is olive brown.
It is more like the tail of a lamprey than that of Coccosteus.
Mrs. lamprey told what she knew, but not nearly all the facts as the story knows them.
"Lemons and lamprey" must have had a roughish seat, atop of pig and sour cream.
c.1300 (c.1200 as a surname?), from Old French lamproie, from Medieval Latin lampreda, from Late Latin lampetra "lamprey," of uncertain origin, usually explained as literally "lick-rock," from Latin lambere "to lick" (see lap (v.1)) + petra "rock" (see petrous). The animals attach themselves to things with their sucker-like mouths.
