With its thickly enameled teeth, deep olfactory pit, and bipedal stature, Australopithecus had all the genetically evolved tools to experience and enjoy cooked meat.
Alas, fire was just becoming the latest fad around the time Australopithecus was gathering its last nut. Despite more than two million years of roaming the earth, old Lucy likely never experienced cooked carnivorous treats.
In fact, it would be a while before the first hominid dangled meat over fire, shared it with pals, and declared it delicious.
Fast forward another few million years or so: past Homo erectus gaining control of fire, past the first Homo sapiens who had a hankering to sink their incisors into roasted ribs, and past the absolutely genius idea of burying an entire goat in the ground over hot coals and cooking it for days.
Arrive at the 21st century and the Golden Age of Barbeque. By now cooks have long since tamed primitive smoke and heat using refined cooking methods and high-tech tools.
Entire economies have been built upon the production and purveyance of quality meat. Barbeque, when done well, is considered an authentic American art form. It is so beloved that Food Network viewers know exactly how Guy Fieri feels when he mugs at the camera and exclaims, "I could put this on a flip-flop and it would it taste good."

text: Updated from 2:25 p.m. EDTThe $24 billion financing package Anadarko Petroleum ( APC) scored for this morning's acquisition spree isn't for the faint of heart. On Friday, the company unveiled plans to purchase Kerr-McGee ( KMG) and Western Gas Resources ( WGR) in two separate transactions that total $23.3 billion. Currently, Anadarko plans to pay for the acquisitions with a 364-day credit facility provided by its two advisers, UBS and Credit Suisse, and a third party, Citigroup. Credit market sources say the loan probably will be short-term financing, requiring Anadarko, a $20.5 billion market-cap oil and gas driller based in Woodlands, Texas, to replace it during the next year with syndicated bank debt or bonds, or both. Such a structure isn't unusual for an investment grade company doing a deal of this size. The company is going to do a number of things to finance the acquisition, a spokeswoman said. Divestitures, debt and equity issuance are possibilities. "But none of it has been decided yet," according to the spokeswoman. Given the uncertain rate environment, could Anadarko find itself backed into a corner by waiting to refinance? "The corporate bond market has been struggling lately," notes Edward Marrinan, head of credit strategy at JPMorgan Securities. "Valuations for all risky assets have backed up since the middle of May. The primary market has been offering price concessions to get deals done at the same time that secondary market participants have turned risk averse. "In general, investors are not as willing to provide the pricing and structure on the terms that the issuers had become accustomed to during the last few years," Marrinan says. Over the next few months, or course, bond markets could go either way. Although demand remains brisk for investment-grade debt like Anadarko's, it could waver depending on comments from the Federal Reserve meeting next week. If the Fed is dovish and economic indicators point to a soft landing, the bond market is likely to stay strong. But if the Fed continues to signal interest rate hikes, and debt becomes more expensive, Anadarko's $24 billion deal could become a costly one.

A weekend at a ranch lets you feel like an old-fashioned cowboy, just like wearing a ten-gallon hat or taking your 3,000 pet cattle out for a walk. Ride into the sunset with this Groupon.
$169 for a One-Night Ranch Stay for Two (Up to $488 Total Value)
Couples can check in on Friday or Saturday for their one-night stay (up to a $200 value) in one of the ranch's furnished rooms, such as the Allyson Cattoor or Paisley rooms. Guests enjoy a fish fry or cowboy dinner (up to a $50 value) that night, then wake up to a complimentary cowboy breakfast and their choice of a cowboy activity or an ATV or zipline ride (up to a $238 value).
Beaumont Ranch
Beaumont Ranch is the realization of a dream. Ron Beaumont, the founder and family patriarch, was enamored with the cowboy lifestyle from a very young age, and envisioned himself one day running a ranch like the ones he saw in his favorite western movies. The vision came to fruition in July of 1997, when he and his wife Linda opened their 800 acres of land to the public, allowing visitors to live like cowboys and mingle with their herds of Texas longhorns and horses.
Today, three Beaumont generations live on the ranch, and the guest accommodations have expanded from a 22-room bed-and-breakfast to a 32-room facility boasting an events center, a common area, and a bunkhouse with an additional 48 beds. Well-rested patrons can explore the natural prairies that stretch as far as the eye can see on the transportation of their choice: ATV, horse, or even zipline. After a day spent riding bucking broncos and roping cattle, visitors can kick off their cowboy boots and remove their 10-gallon hats to enjoy pampering serenity at the ranch spa. Here, the aestheticians soothe weary cowpokes' muscles with massages and body scrubs, which were what kept John Wayne so cool under pressure.

Ligonier Valley High School boys basketball concludes season
The Ligonier Valley High School boys basketball team dropped out of the District Six playoffs in the semi-final round, losing 64-54 to second-seeded Penn Cambria. Head coach John Berger said his team didn't handle the pressure and made unforced errors that gave Penn Cambria an opening to take the lead.
"I think our guys played pretty hard, I'm just proud of them," Berger said. "I was worried about them being nervous coming into the game, but they played pretty well. We fought back two times in the first half and that shows their character. Hats off to Penn Cambria, man they're good. Penn Cambria is the number two seed for a reason," Berger said.
Jordan Jones had one of his highest scoring nights of the season, leading Ligonier in scoring with 17 points. Berger said he expects a lot out of the sophomore in the next two years.
"Jordan likes this gym; did the same thing last year against the number two seed," Berger said. "As a freshman he was our leading scorer. He starts for a reason. He's a tough kid."
Zach Yeskey followed with 14 points, Alec Bloom scored 12, Micah Tennant and Scott Fennell both scored four points, and Alex Tutino hit a 3-pointer.
Throughout the season, the Rams have had the size advantage against every opponent, but did not enjoy that benefit against Penn Cambria.
"They're big, they're athletic; by far the biggest team we've played this year," Berger said. "The best player for them is 6-feet 7-inches tall and can shoot from pretty much half court, in; he's tough. We knew that going into the game."
The Panthers got out to an early 13-2 lead three minutes into the game. The Rams battled back to within two, making the score 17-15, a margin Ligonier maintained going into the half, when the score was 31-29 in favor of Penn Cambria.
"We just got the momentum in our favor. We hit some shots and we got some rebounds and I think they got a couple turnovers in the mix, and that was a confidence builder," Berger said.
Ligonier took the lead in the game 35-31 during the third quarter, but were unable to hold onto it, allowing Penn Cambria to go into the fourth with a 43-39 lead. In a hurried attempt to close the gap, the Rams made unforced errors and turnovers, which widened the margin for the Panthers, who did not surrender the lead again.

About Us
Where are the soldiers who defended the Iranian territory? Where are the soldiers who defended the Iranian culture and civilization?
When we were surfing the libraries, we were shocked by the huge lack of information sources about Iranian Culture, Art and Civilization. All we could find, were encyclopedias entries about the grand history of Iran or Persia which has to be, but, inside this history are some extra topics, like Civilization, Culture, Art, Science and etc, which merit due attention. Without these our history contains nothing more than the story of the ups and downs of a series of dead dynasties
What about our poets? How many know them and how many know that they were Iranian? How many times have you heard "Abu Ali Sina, an Arab scientist"? How many know that Razi was an Iranian scientist who discovered alcohol? What about Khayyam and his mathematical rules?
Nowadays everybody is talking about Human Rights. How many know which government ratified The Charter of Human Rights for the first time? When Koorosh Kabir (Cirrus the Great) in about 2600 years ago, set the Jewish slaves free in Babel, he talked about the Human Rights and Religions Rights. This is officially attested to by what can be seen on the top of the main gate of the United Nations Headquarters in Geneva, Swiss.
We also talk about Insurance, Unemployment, Disabilities or Accidents at work, etc. Have you ever gone to Persepolis and Apadana and read what the Great Darius ordered when these monuments were being built? Isn't it incredible to find ou that he was the one who enshrined The Rights, Salary and extra job benefits for pregnant women, Unemployment Insurance and Insurance to cover all accidents?
If only a small fraction of people know about these unique ingredients of our culture, the fault is ours and nobody else's. Everybody talks about Roman Civilization and remembers their heroes and heroines. Why? Because of very many books, seminars and movies on them; specially amusing, inexpensive movies, accessible to everybody. Fortunately when we were surfing the Internet, we found lots of informative, interesting Iranian sites which indicate that we, Iranians, understand what our problem is and now are starting to tackle it.
The major problem is that we cannot find everything in these sites and there are too much advertising. So we started working on our site "FARHANGSARA", without any political and/or religious tendencies or commercialism in mind. It is just a Non-Profit Cultural Site for every body.
We use some site's sources, and we mention them. We appreciate their efforts and thank them wholeheartedly for all they have done.

with permission of The Continuum International Publishing Group from The Encyclopedia of Judaism, edited by Jacob Neusner,
Alan Avery-Peck, and William Scott Green.
In the Middle Ages, especially in the
orbit of Islam, Jews increasingly practiced astrology. A thorough knowledge of
this art is evidenced in the Zohar and Sefer
Raziel, and astrology is referred to frequently in medieval liturgical poetry,
including the works of poets such as Kalir and Ibn Gabirol.
known Jewish astrologers of the ninth century were Jacob ibn Turik, whom Ibn
Ezra says brought the astrological tables of the Hindus to Baghdad. Of the same
period, some astrological works remain extant of Sahl ben Bishr al-Israeli,
also known as Rabban al-Tabari ("the rabbi of Tabarisran").
Biblical Commentaries & Astrology
this period, the works of Islamic astrologers were translated by Jews into
Hebrew. Ibn Ezra himself was an avid follower of astrology, which he referred
to as a sublime science. He even translated into Hebrew the astrological work
of Mashallah, the court astrologer of Almansur and Marnun, and he authored
important works on the constellations and planets.
to astrology in his biblical commentaries, Ibn Ezra understood the heavens to
represent the Book of Life in which people's fate is written. Still, in accordance
with the inherited talmudic perspective, he believed that this fate could be
overruled by God, to whom humans accordingly have recourse in their quest to
reshape their own destiny.
similar approach appears in the commentary to Maimonides' Mishneh Torah of Abraham b. David of Posquieries (Rabad). While asserting the
influence of the stars upon human destiny, he also avers that faith in God can overcome
this influence.
by contrast, alone among the major rabbinic authorities of this period, opposed
astrology and declared it explicitly forbidden by Lev. 19:26, "You shall not practice augury or
witchcraft." Maimonides viewed astrology as a dangerous superstition,
bordering on idolatry that was "a disease on a science."
Mazal Tov!
last important Jewish astrologer was David Gans (in Germany, 1541-1613). Alongside
his work on Jewish and general history (Zemah David), he wrote a work on
cosmography (Gebulat ha-Erez), an astronomical
treatise (Magen David), and
a number of mathematical works. His Nehmad ve-Naim, which deals with astronomy and
mathematical geography, contains a historical survey of the development of
these subjects around the world.
modern world and the emergence of science has largely brought an end to astronomy
and the other magical practices known in talmudic times. One minor throw-back
to that period is the contemporary use of the Hebrew phrase "Mazal
Tov," literally "A good constellation," to mean "Good luck!"
Similarly, following the approach of the Shulhan
Arukh (Yoreh Deah 179, 2), some
Jews continue to reject certain days of the week or month for weddings or other

The state House voted Monday to reduce individual income taxes if the state finally starts collecting sales taxes it already should be getting.
HB 2465 says if Congress approves the Marketplace Fairness Act to tax online sales, the state would compute how much additional revenue comes in. Then the Department of Revenue would automatically adjust individual income tax rates downward on a dollar-for-dollar basis, ensuring no windfall for the state.
But Rep. Bruce Wheeler, D-Tucson, said that also means Arizona effectively is giving up on forcing its residents to pay the taxes they already owe. He said the state should use the funds to restore cuts made during the recession.
Current Arizona law requires retailers to collect the state's 5.6 percent sales tax plus any local taxes for items sold to residents. That also covers online retailers that already have a presence in the state like Target.
The law also says any Arizonan who buys a product online where the retailer does not collect the tax is supposed to report that and remit the funds directly to the state.
Enforcing that, though, has been virtually impossible, especially for individual transactions. The result, according to "bricks and mortar" retailers who have to charge the tax, is that they are losing business – and the state is losing needed dollars.
The federal Marketplace Fairness Act seeks to rectify that by requiring online retailers to start collecting what's owed and pay that to the state where the items are being shipped.
No one knows how much is out there. Given the increasing level of online purchases, the amount is likely in the millions of dollars.
Only thing is, HB 2465 would not use the extra funds to restore programs cut during the recession – and potentially because of the loss of sales taxes due to Internet sales. Instead, Rep. J.D. Mesnard, R-Chandler, wants to use those new revenues to cut other taxes.
Mesnard did not dispute that taxes on Internet sales are owed and that, technically speaking, it's a violation of state law for Arizonans to refuse to report and remit what is due. But he insisted that no one in the Legislature really expects anyone to follow the law.
As proof, he cited a 2012 law which added a spot to the state income tax form for Arizonans to compute and pay what they should on out-of-state purchases. That provoked such an outcry from taxpayers that legislators repealed the form, retroactively, the following year.
Mesnard conceded, though, legislators never repealed the tax and that, even without the form, the requirement to report and pay remains. But he said that's irrelevant.
"I don't know of anyone being prosecuted for not paying it," he said.
Since the state's not expecting the money, Mesnard said he sees anything that gives Arizona a way to collect the funds directly from retailers as a tax hike.
Wheeler, however, said that's looking at the issue backwards.
"It will be an unknown cost," he said of the legislation, with the state forever giving up what is already owed. "We're going to take a hit."
Mesnard said if there's a "hit'" – and he's not conceded how his legislation is being described – it is a temporary one.
He said HB 2465 requires a one-time adjustment of individual income tax rates the year after the Marketplace Fairness Act is approved and Arizona starts getting revenues from online sales. But he said there will be no future adjustments if Internet sales continue to explode and Arizona gains more cash over current levels.
Rep. Mark Cardenas, D-Phoenix, still was not satisfied. He said if Arizona is going to be collecting more sales taxes, then any increase should be used to trim the 5.6 percent tax rate. Cardenas said sales taxes are the most regressive, with those at the bottom of the income scale paying the highest percentage of their earnings in taxes.
Mesnard defended cutting income taxes, calling it "a policy decision." Mesnard said he believes cuts in income taxes do more to promote economic development than lower sales taxes.
The measure needs a final roll-call vote in the House before going to the Senate.

President Obama on Wednesday plans to propose a major overhaul of the nation's corporate tax code, an election-year gambit that is likely to draw a contrast over a key policy issue with the Republicans vying to replace him.
Obama will propose lowering the nation's tax rate to 28 percent. At the same time, however, he will seek to increase the amount of revenues raised overall through corporate taxation by eliminating numerous deductions and loopholes that save companies tens of billions of dollars a year on their tax bills, according to a senior administration official.

Under hackler I was treated more like a brute than a human being.
"Let her know her little boy is going out in good company," said hackler.
hackler says so, the boatman says so; he could not live on the moor.
"Better where you are," said hackler, with what sounded very much like a sigh.
Old English hacele "cloak, mantle" (cf. Old High German hachul, Gothic hakuls "cloak;" Old Norse hekla "hooded frock"). Sense of "bird plumage" is first recorded early 15c., though this might be from unrelated Middle English hackle "flax comb" (see heckle (n.)) on supposed resemblance of comb to ruffled feathers. Metaphoric extension found in raise one's hackles (as a cock does when angry) is first recorded 1881.

With wireless screen sharing, wePresent is your wireless corporate technology solution.
The wePresent unit connects to any video display via an HDMI or VGA connection, allowing for wireless screen sharing from any device. Eva's company has outfitted all of their conference rooms with a wePresent WiPG-1000 mounted to the wall behind the television.
Eva knows that when any of her team or vendors are connected to their network, the wePresent wireless system allows them to give an interactive presentation wirelessly to the display and still maintain their internet access.
Matthew is ready to start his day using the wePresent wireless presentation system, and in 3-simple steps he knows that his team will be wirelessly projecting and ready to give their interactive presentations.
Connect to the network.
Matthew's first step is to make sure all of his staff's devices are connected to the company's network.
When his vendor arrives, he will give her access to their guest network or simply let her log into the wePresent as a wireless access point.
Launch the Software or App
Matthew's company has a BYOD policy, so his staff will load wePresent's MirrorOp software on any Mac or PC or install the MirrorOp Presenter app on their mobile devices.
Since his vendor is just coming in for one presentation, he can run the MirrorOp client software directly from wePresent's plug-and-play USB token.
Give Your Presentation
Now, Matthew launches the MirrorOp software on his own laptop and begins wireless screen sharing.
WePresent allows up to 64-users to connect to the presentation system, so now Matthew's morning meeting is turned into a wireless and seamless collaboration.
Once the wePresent WiPG is connected to your local area network, your users simply connect to the network as usual. If the wePresent wireless access point is enabled, then your guests can simply connect to wePresent's WiFi signal. Then just simply launch the wePresent software and start your wireless presentation. Download our quick-connect guide.
For users who will present often, we recommend downloading and installing the client software. Users can also choose to run the presentation directly from the supplied USB token.
When you insert the USB-token from the wePresent, you will have the option to start the software directly from the USB token. This allows you to give a presentation without having to download and install software.
wePresent works with Wi-Fi, and in very unique cases with unstable environments the wireless connection can be affected. The wePresent device can be manually fixed to any preferred IP address, bandwidth, channel, or SSID name for optimal performance.

Former Smokin' Joe's employee barred from using dance show trademark
NIAGARA FALLS – A former employee of a Native American dance show owned by Tuscarora Indian businessman Smokin' Joe Anderson has been barred from using the show's trademark or accepting its tickets for his own rival show.
State Supreme Court Justice Ralph A. Boniello III ordered that Anthony C. DiNatale Jr. must not use the trademark or accept tickets for Anderson's show, called "The Spirit of the Mist."
Smokin' Joe's Native Center made an agreement with a tour operator to bring customers to the show. DiNatale started his own "Thudnering Waters Live Show" at the One Niagara building and, in Anderson's view, it was practically identical to "The Spirit of the Mist," only not as good.
DiNatale had allegedly made a deal with the tour operator to bring visitors to his show, using tickets for Anderson's show. Boniello ordered that DiNatale must stop doing that until the infringement lawsuit is resolved.

I've got this book on my christmas shopping list for my son. He is the International thinker in the family. What a perfect Christmas present!! This extraordinary book takes readers on a remarkable journey to the world's most extraordinary and endangered locations. Since 1972, sites of natural, historic, and cultural significance have been designated as World Heritage sites by UNESCO. Although this designation offers some protection, these sites are still at risk today from both natural and man-made causes, such as earthquakes in Peru, civil strife in the Congo, and unsustainable tourism in Cambodia. Discover the dramatic stories behind 101 of the most remarkable and endangered sites from every corner of the world, including: The Great Wall of China; Serengeti; London; Machu Picchu; Petra; Angkor; Prague; Minaret of Jam; Kilimanjaro; Great Barrier Reef; and more. A portion of all proceeds from this book will go to support the conservation of World Heritage sites. By Alonzo C. Addison; hardcover.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/7/2012 (1851 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A thorough and very readable new biography argues that Prince William is already qualified to become King of England.
Through exhaustive research and numerous interviews with Buckingham Palace insiders, British journalist and broadcaster Penny Junor concludes that with his gift for dealing with individuals from every walk of life, William is the People's Prince, just as his late mother, Diana, was known as the People's Princess.
This latest royal biography demonstrates that the second in line to the British throne is an accomplished, confident, impressive person.
A 30-year-old Royal Air Force search and rescue pilot, William, writes Junor, was devastated by his adored mother's death when he was just 15. He remains strong and resilient and remembers his mother's unconditional love while maintaining an excellent relationship with his father and with his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.
William is also, according to Junor, close to his younger brother, Prince Harry. William, his wife Kate and Harry have embarked on a number of charitable projects together. Junor says William is a natural leader.
This is Junor's sixth book about the Royal Family -- and four previous ones focused on William's parents, Prince Charles, and the late Diana, Princess of Wales.
Junor's in-depth knowledge of Charles and Diana results in the first 100 pages being devoted to Diana's and Charles's relationship and on Diana herself. In fact, Junor unfairly spends many pages trying to prove that Diana was suffering from "incipient mental illness."
None of this is information that hasn't been hypothesized in previous works but Junor's treatment of Diana is harsh, especially because Diana is not alive to defend herself.
Junor, on the other hand, is sympathetic to Prince Charles's current wife, the former Camilla Parker Bowles, now the Duchess of Cornwall. She justifies the affair between Camilla and Charles while each was married to others because their former spouses were also cheating with other people.
Over and over again, Junor writes how happy Camilla makes Charles.
Readers would have been better served had Junor chosen to focus less on William's parents and more on William himself and his wife, the former Kate Middleton.
Junor focuses so much on William's family and on members of his staff, who were given permission to speak to Junor for this book, that Prince William often feels like a secondary character in his own portrait.
Nevertheless, Junor is accurate in writing that William is one of the most important young men of his generation. She cites a recent survey that found William is the "most influential man in the world after U.S. President (Barack) Obama."
Junor says about William: "One day, he will inherit the throne of the United Kingdom. He will be Head of State, Supreme Governor of the Church of England, Colonel in Chief of the Armed Forces, and possibly Head of the Commonwealth... He will represent the nation to itself and be the ultimate symbol of stability in a world of rapid change."
She also reveals that William "hates the paparazzi" but reads "everything and remembers who writes what about him. William will engage with the media in his way. He is extremely wary but utterly determined to remain in control. Control in all things is very important to William."
An unnamed friend also told Junor: "Trust is William's big thing. He is very slow to trust people and I should think the single biggest driver of his relationship with Kate is trust."
William greatly admires Queen Elizabeth because of her ability to use your her position "for the good." This new biography demonstrates that so far, he's successfully following in her footsteps.

Choose Between Two Options
- $99 for a MicroLaserPeel treatment (a $300 value)
- $99 for a Sciton BBL photofacial (a $300 value)
The MicroLaserPeel treatment uses laser light to precisely remove outer layers of the skin, and can be adjusted to address concerns such as scars, wrinkles, or uneven pigmentation. Recipients typically experience two to four days of redness and peeling post-treatment. During the BBL photofacial, intense pulses of broadband light work to correct sun damage and acne, and promote collagen growth to reduce wrinkles. Patients should avoid the sun prior to receiving this treatment. Both procedures may require multiple sessions to produce results.

To cut vehicle development costs and facilitate approval processes, the government is considering conforming to European Union automobile safety and environmental standards, sources said Thursday.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will discuss the issue with European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso and European Council President Herman Van Rompuy when they meet Monday, the sources said.
The leaders are expected to declare the launch of formal negotiations for a bilateral free-trade agreement.
If the standards are shared, car manufacturers in Japan and the European Union, currently subject to different safety and environmental criteria, would not need to go through a separate approval process for exports, they said.
In the initial negotiations for an FTA, Japan is expected to urge the European Union to remove a 10 percent import tax on Japanese cars, while the 27-nation bloc is expected to call on Japan to revise its automobile safety standards, which it considers nontariff barriers, the sources said.
Meanwhile, a draft statement to be adopted at Monday's meeting also touches on international political issues. The two sides will express concerns over North Korea's nuclear arms and missile threats, Iran's nuclear program and the potential use of chemical weapons in Syria.
The draft strongly condemns January's terrorist attacks in Algeria that killed many Japanese gas plant workers, among other foreigners.

Winter 1997
An adjoint model is a transposition of a computer model's code that creates a different set of output related to the original output. For instance, instead of analyzing pressure levels, the adjoint MM5 analyzes pressure gradients, so that zones with strong gradients (and thus high winds) are highlighted.
Only one adjoint solution is possible for any given mathematical model. The complexity of weather and climate models makes the creation of their adjoint versions a difficult undertaking. However, the results provide a unique way to get at phenomena hidden within the standard data fields. "It helps you understand the original model in a computationally efficient way," says Zou. Adjoint versions are especially helpful when new sources of data are being assimilated into a model, such as special observations taken near a point of interest. Quantities that are being inferred--such as three-dimensional wind fields from Doppler radar--can be represented more directly in an adjoint model.
Zou's four-year NCAR appointment to develop the adjoint MM5 was supported primarily by the Global Positioning System meteorology program, or GPS/MET. The UCAR-based project used a space-borne receiver to intercept GPS signals, with the signal delay then analyzed to infer meteorological qualities of the atmosphere up to 60 kilometers (36 miles).
Several major research centers are at work developing adjoint versions of their models. According to Zou, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts hopes to make an adjoint version of its flagship global model available operationally by the end of 1997. However, NCAR's is the first adjoint version of a mesoscale model made available to the research community at large. It was officially unveiled on 24-25 July at a tutorial in Boulder that was "very successful," says Zou.
Two publications helped the participants get acquainted with the new model: a user's guide to the standard version of MM5 and an introduction to adjoint modeling. "It takes time for people to understand and use the system," Zou notes. The two publications are available as NCAR Technical Notes [ordering info here].
According to Bill Kuo, head of M3's Mesoscale Prediction Group, even while Zou is in Florida, the adjoint modeling effort "will continue within our group. We now have François Vandenberghe leading that effort. Of course, we'll maintain a close cooperation with Xiaolei Zou at Florida State University. We still have many joint projects, and we expect the cooperation to continue for many years."
Developed in the late 1980s, RegCM was the first community model to unite the high resolution of a mesoscale model with the long time scales of a global climate model. It was created by an NCAR group headed by Robert Dickinson (now at the University of Arizona). They nested version 4 of the NCAR/Pennsylvania State University mesoscale model (MM4) within version 2 of the NCAR community climate model (CCM2). The MM4 had to be tweaked slightly to make it suitable for research over periods longer than a few days; for instance, a radiation scheme was added to provide seasonal variations in solar input. With the resulting blended model, scientists could feed the data from long-term global simulations into a regional context and obtain more detail on what might occur at that scale.
RegCM has proven itself a flexible tool, used by more than 35 university researchers for studies of past, present, and future climates over a variety of regions, including the continental United States, Europe, Africa, eastern Asia, Australia, and the Aral Sea. NCAR scientist Linda Mearns (CGD) has assembled a new group within the Environmental and Societal Impacts Group that is using the RegCM for agricultural and other impacts studies.
Some computer time for RegCM was made possible by the Model Evaluation Consortium on Climate Assessment (MECCA). This international collaborative effort, managed by the Electric Power Research Institute, installed a Cray Y-MP at NCAR in the early 1990s expressly for long-term global and regional climate simulations. "The computer time from MECCA provided critical resources for testing and developing RegCM," says Filippo. (A new summary report on MECCA, Assessing Climate Change, has just been released by Gordon and Breach Science Publishers.
Linda and Filippo are now partners with William Chameides (Georgia Institute of Technology), joining with other researchers in the United States and China in a NASA-organized project to examine China's Yangtze Delta as a "metro-agro-plex," a place where rapid urbanization rubs shoulders with high-yield agriculture. "The best analogy in the U.S. is New Jersey," says Linda. She, Filippo, and colleagues will evaluate changes in land use while including industrial emissions in the newly upgraded RegCM. According to Filippo, "Our hope is not to get an answer on the exact future climate but to get a scenario of how rapid urbanization, industrialization, and agricultural practices might interact with the regional climate in a global change context. For example, northern China has been warming at a much faster pace than southern China, and they're not sure why."
The Journal of Geophysical Research-Atmospheres plans to devote a special section of its November 1998 issue to papers documenting the upgraded RegCM and related research. "We have many more users now, and many of them have never used the RegCM before," notes Giorgi. "The nice thing is that this will be the first time we've had all these studies assembled in one place."

We all like to look for the best deals for ourselves. This is especially so for businesses which are always on the lookout for reliable partners to work together for the long term. For businesses that are on the lookout for reliable Singapore courier companies, here are some key things you must consider in the courier company.
1. Response time
Does the courier company respond quickly to your enquiries? Response time is a critical factor simple because the customers are very eager to know about the company's pricing and the status of their parcels in real time. Although technology may automate this via transparent display of pricing in the courier company's website or mobile application and also via Global Positioning System (GPS), some people still prefer to talk to a human being for that matter. They want to be served and not to look for information actively themselves. Courier companies that provides fast response time respects the customers. PCA Masters (http://www.pcamasters.com/) is one such company in Singapore that provides fast response time to customers.
2. Punctuality
Courier companies must be punctual to collect the parcels and also to deliver the parcels. Customers expect courier companies to be punctual. Most people in Singapore wants their items to be delivered on the same day. If the parcels are delivered only after a few days, customers may instead mail their items via SingPost. Punctuality and speed are critical for courier companies.
3. Honesty
In business, integrity is one of the top considerations when choosing business partners. We want a reliable partner to work together for the long term. When something happens, we expect our business partners to come clean with us and tell us what exactly went wrong. Things should not be hidden and covered up. This behavior will not solve the issue and the same thing may happen again the next time. I believe people in Singapore appreciates honest businesses.
4. Financials
Businesses like to work with established companies. The top reason behind this is that established companies are more financially stable than younger companies. Hence, the established companies will be able to last for a longer time generally speaking. This is important because businesses want to work with counter parties for the long term. If their business partners fall, they will have to look for another company to collaborate together. This will incur unnecessary time wastage.
5. Good service attitude
A good courier company knows how to serve its customers well. This means providing a good service attitude to the customers. Good service shows sincerity and effort to keep the customers happy.

You want to keep yourself up-to-date of too many TV shows but you find difficult to remember their air dates, so you end up missing some episodes. That's OK. You aren't alone. Fortunately, Matthew Rice has come up with a solution: My TV Shows.
This app allows you to schedule broadcasting date and time and channel of your favorite TV shows and set reminders not too miss them. Once all the TV shows you are currently watching are set, you only have to select the weekday and set what's up to.
Henceforth, you can add new TV shows, see all them listed and share them with your friends. The latter is a good way to recommend and get recommendations from friends.
The app is set in a simple - I'd say sober - yet user-friendly interface. It needs a design revamping since the premise backing the app is engaging enough. It would also be great if it were integrated with main channels programming (guides).
Regardless, a recommended app for those forgetful TV Shows fans.

A research project that will investigate why teen pregnancy rates are higher in Yarmouth is contacting local people to participate in a survey.
"We are in the process of contacting key informants who are able to give their views about what factors might be behind high rates of teen age pregnancy," says Don Langille, Professor, Community Health and Epidemiology, Dalhousie University and project lead. Teen pregnancy rates are higher in Yarmouth than many other similar towns in Nova Scotia.
Key informants will be teachers, health care professionals, parents and youth. They will be asked to participate because they have special insights about youth in the community and they know the community well.
Dalhousie University and a group of partners from the Yarmouth area, including South West Health, have received a three-year research grant to investigate the issue.
Funding in the amount of $150,000 has been approved by the Nova Scotia Health Research Foundation for the project which is entitled "Investigating Determinants of Adolescent Pregnancy: A Study of Factors Influencing Youth Behaviours in a Rural Nova Scotia Community". "Ultimately we want to provide recommendations to support prevention," says Langille. "We have a very strong working group committee that will guide us through the research process. Clearly health agencies and organizations in Yarmouth are concerned about teen pregnancy rates and want to be involved in the project," he adds.
The rate of teen pregnancy in Nova Scotia is very different depending on the community where young women live. Significantly more young women from Yarmouth become pregnant before age 20 than in other similar sized communities in the province. Working with the Yarmouth Working Group for the Prevention of Teenage Pregnancy, the research team will gather data about factors that influence adolescent sexual risk behaviours and can lead to pregnancy.
The findings will be discussed with adolescents and adults in Yarmouth to determine how important they feel each factor is in relation to others, how the factors "work" to influence adolescent pregnancy, and whether they can be changed.
From there, the research team will work with the working group and other stakeholders to determine which factors might be the best focus for developing local intervention strategies to be used for local policy and programming. "As the project develops we look forward to sharing more details with the community," says Langille.
Project partners include, Dalhousie University, South West Health, physicians, Tri-County Regional School Board, Yarmouth County Community Health Board, Tri-County Women's Resource Centre, Université Sainte-Anne, Tri-County Pregnancy Care Centre, Community Services, Planned Parenthood, RCMP Yarmouth detachment, parents and youth.

Couple Indicted for 2012 Death of Young Girl
PHOENIX (AP) — A Phoenix couple who ran a childcare business out of their home has been indicted in the 2012 death of a young girl.
Maricopa County prosecutors said Monday that a county grand jury has indicted Ryan Reed and Allison Clement on charges of second-degree and child abuse.
They say Reed also was charged with two counts of sexual conduct with a minor.
The couple was arrested in connection with the Dec. 11, 2012 death of 2-year-old Savannah Cross.
Phoenix police say the girl had numerous injuries and Reed allegedly admitted to striking, kicking and roughly grabbing her numerous times.
Investigators believe the child's bruises came from different occasions because they were in various stages of healing.
Clement reportedly told detectives she witnessed the abuse but did nothing to stop it.

ILLEGAL slimming pills worth thousands of pounds have been seized from a children's wardrobe at a house in Bolton.
Officers from the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) carried out a dawn raid at a semi-detached house near Bolton town centre and the Scholey Street police station on May 15.
They discovered 26,000 imported Lida DaidDaiHua pills which carry a street value of £50,000.
The tablets were found in a semi-detached house in a cul-de-sac close to Bolton town centre and the police station in Scholey Street.
Most were taken from a child's warbrobe in a bedroom in the house, but some were seized from a nearby lock-up garage.
The pills were being sold on a website called Zenj Slimming, which described itself as "your complete guide to a healthy lifestyle" and has since been shut down.
A batch of 10 boxes of the tablets was being sold for £125, with the site also selling breast enlargement cream.
As well as the tablets, which were in blister packs, agency officers also found packaging ready to be used to distribute the drugs to customers.
Despite claiming to be "100 per cent herbal", the tablets contained a drug callled Sibutramine, a former prescripted drug removed from the market in Britain in 2010 because of fears it increased the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
The drug was a popular slimming tool as it alters chemical messages sent to the brain which control food cravings.
A man in his 30s was questioned on suspicion of unlicensed medicines offences.
Danny Lee-Frost, MHRA head of operations, said: "We seized approximately 26,000 tablets of a slimming product that claims to be 100 per cent herbal, which in reality contains the ingredient Sibutramine.
"Anyone taking these pills would think from the packaging that they are a safe and natural product, but anyone with a heart problem could be at risk of a heart attack or a stroke and they just wouldn't know.

NOCO gift aids Canisius project at HarborCenter
The Canisius College hockey locker room just got a little boost.
NOCO announced a $25,000 donation to the Locker Room Project for the Golden Griffins' new home at HarborCenter. The Griffs are scheduled to open in the new building at the end of October.
"NOCO is honored to collaborate with both Canisius College and HarborCenter in establishing a first-rate hockey facility for players and fans alike," Michael Newman, executive vice president of NOCO, said in a release. "We are excited about the ongoing development throughout the City of Buffalo and by contributing to the Canisius Locker Room Project we are not only supporting the college but also contributing to the revitalization of downtown Buffalo and the Canalside District."
The Griffs' move into HarborCenter may be delayed a few weeks as construction finishes up, although the school said it already has a contingency plan with the Buffalo Sabres which would put games in First Niagara Center until the 1,800-seat HarborCenter arena opens at the end of October.
In the official release, coach Dave Smith echoed continuing gratitude for community support in growing college hockey in Western New York.
"We are thrilled with the commitment that NOCO has shown the Canisius hockey program," Smith said. "Its contribution will go long a way in establishing the HarborCenter as one of the unique facilities in hockey and making our locker room state-of-the-art. We are excited to have NOCO be a part of this project and supporting Canisius hockey as we look to continue to elevate our program."
Both Canisius and Niagara are expected to release their schedules for the upcoming season within the next two weeks.

Sarah Palin weighed in on the filibuster rule changes on Sunday, suggesting that Senate Democrats are involved in a conspiracy to distract from other issues during Thanksgiving dinner. Or something. You be the judge – the translation is lost on me.
On Fox News, host Chris Wallace pointed out to the half term Governor of Alaska that President Obama has faced more than twice the filibusters on nominees than his predecessor.
Wallace asked, "Doesn't any president, Republican or Democrat, have the right to be able to name his team unless a nominee is just wildly outside the mainstream?"
Sarah Palin calls it the 'nucular option.'
Palin said, "As for this rule change that some people are calling the nuclear option under Senate rules, you know, I guarantee, this week, Thanksgiving Dinner, people sitting around their tables were not going to be talking about the president blessing this thwarting of a balance of power in Congress with new Senate rules. People are going to be talking about our failed big government policies that will bankrupt this country."
"So, this distraction" she continued, "this new talking point in the media and with Congress and with Senators and with the president blessing this action, it's a distraction and it's a lot of, you know, double standard and Democrat hypocrisy because just a few years ago they were so anti, anti-nuclear option."
Palin continued, "So American people, they don't care about distractions like that. They're not in the inside baseball Senate rules stuff. They want government to be back on our side. They want it to get out of our lives… So, this new rule change, it stinks."
Which makes sense to no one.

Hee Yit Foong, you reap what you sow
YOURSAY 'You have lost the respect of everyone for backstabbing your former party. Now bear the consequences of your folly.'
MCA denies giving up Jelapang to Hee
Chee Hoe Siew: Jelapang incumbent independent representative Hee Yit Foong has outlived her usefulness and there is no reason for BN to risk using her further. She is such a short-sighted woman and it serves her right.
Haven't she heard of the Chinese phrase "removing the wooden planks after crossing the bridge"?
Doc Phew!: With all the stupid stunts that MCA president Chua Soi Lek and MCA have been up to of late, thank goodness that the party is not stupid enough to accept Hee.
All is not lost for Hee though; Gerakan and PPP are still there to take her if Umno says so.
Changeagent: Chua, there is a possible compromise for you. Let Hee contest on a MCA ticket.
This way, you can combine Hee's 'self-declared' support among the constituents with strong grassroots backing from MCA members - placing the party in a super-winnable position for the Jelapang seat. DAP, beware.
Anonymous_3f4b: My take is to let Hee stand again for the Jelapang state seat on a BN ticket and let the voters decide.
The electorate of Jelapang will be the best judge whether they still remember Hee's transgression when her fallout with DAP led to her to quit the party and eventually resulting in the political disaster for Pakatan Rakyat in Perak, post-2008.
Or have they forgiven and forgotten her 'felony' and are now in praise of her for providing good service as an independent state representative (with help from BN) - purportedly much better than her counterparts from her previous party?
YF: Poor Hee. It goes to show you did not think through that silly decision you made when you backstabbed your previous party and now nobody wants you to contest for them.
Why? Because you are an outsider, says BN. Get it?
You have lost the respect of everyone, including those in BN, for backstabbing your former party. You think they can trust you?
Now bear the consequences of your folly. You reap what you sow.
Lover Boy: Chua Soi Lek, who is asking you? Hee has said she has consulted Najib. How dare you reject her?
Lim Chong Leong: Hee and MCA talk like the Jelapang seat belongs to them to give or take or to negotiate over. But have they done their polls to see if they are hated there?
Anonymous #79199503: Before Hee jumped ship in 2008, PM Najib Razak could have agreed to her defending the Jelapang seat in GE13. Chua, eat your heart out.
Geronimo: Hear that, Hee, you are not wanted. Treat your current term as the last and please, don't humiliate yourself campaigning at the forthcoming GE.
You will be a sitting duck for rotten eggs and tomatoes.
Anonymous #75854042: Hee will lose in Jelapang. She is a gone case. BN should disassociate its relationship with Hee as she is now a political liability. That's if BN wants to win Jelapang.
The voters may return to support BN but with Hee around, the voters will not vote for BN because they don't like politics without principle.
Paul Warren: PAS should contest Jelapang. That would show the extent of the disgust that people, especially the Chinese voters, have for Hee. It does not matter if an Umno candidate contests.
Anonymous_rb345: I knew it. Now Najib is in a dilemma with so many BN-friendly independents wanting to contests their seats instead of BN candidates.
He who digs a hole for others will now bury himself instead.
Onyourtoes: One is selling fake gold, the other one is buying it.
No one in his right mind would not know that Hee was making an unsubstantiated statement, just to create some attention.
But it needs the MCA president to buy it. Don't worry Chua, there is no way Hee would be able to gain access to the PM, much less get his consent to allow her to stand under the BN flag.
Hee is like a woman "used" - she can never regain her original value. Only nincompoops will buy her story.
Fair Play: Chua Soi Lek and Hee Yit Fong are two born losers fighting over who would emerge last in a three-corner fight with Pakatan.
Wira: If an MCA candidate and Hee stand in Jelapang, both may lose their deposits. Chua is not looking at a win there. He is trying to save his candidate from a disastrous defeat.
Spinnot: Hee has no choice but to contest as an 'independent' BN candidate. She can use the 'frog' symbol on the ballot paper.

For Those With Layers
Credit: Rick Diamond/People.com
If you have shorter layers in your hair or are growing out bangs, you can actually create a really pretty half-up/half-down look with loose strands. First, separate out your shorter strands in the front of your hair and put them aside by gathering them with a clip. Then fix the rest of your hair as you would normally create a half-up/half-down style. When you are finished, take the shorter pieces of your hair that you put aside and break into small sections, spraying them generously while you pull them back and stick them in your hair with bobby pins. It will create a loose look that is red-carpet ready.

Each week, Marlen Garcia and Nicole Auerbach answer the questions that you've tweeted to us or e-mailed us. Please send questions for next week's mailbag to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Here's the latest edition of our weekly college hoops mailbag:
@jeremytroutman: what mid major is likely to make a big impact in the NCAA tournament?
Wichita State. The Shockers have been playing really well all season, but especially lately. They haven't lost since Jan. 28 (a triple OT loss to Drake), and they steamrolled a team many thought was the best in the MVC -- Creighton -- on the road. Sports Illustrated's Luke Winn picked Wichita State as one of his "Magic Eight" teams that could win the NCAA tourney, and I'd have to agree with him. The Shockers have a potent offense, and they're solid defensively, too. Joe Ragland, a junior college transfer, can be a big scorer if they need it – or a facilitator, if that's what they need more in particular game. I just really like watching this team play, and if you saw either their game against Creighton or their game against Davidson, I think you'd agree. This is the kind of team that could make an Elite Eight or Final Four run -- and we shouldn't be surprised one bit. -- Nicole Auerbach
@JdotKimmy: if Duke & MSU win conf tourneys, which gets 1 seed? Assuming, 'Cuse, Kentucky, Mizz/Kansas get 1s?
If that were to happen, I would take Duke over Michigan State. Duke has a better road record and a head-to-head win vs. Michigan State on a neutral floor. This can get very convoluted. And if you ask me in five days, I could change my mind. That Duke win came very early in the season. And in the course of the season, it seems Michigan State has made more improvement than Duke. So I can see the argument for Michigan State jumping ahead of Duke.
For what it's worth, I'm not sure Missouri will remain on my No. 1 line when I do projected seedings for Sunday. Mizzou, which lost to Kansas State on Tuesday, is impressive but among contenders for a No. 1 seed, its strength of schedule is very weak (80 according to CollegeRPI.com). At this point, I think my No. 1 line is Kentucky, Syracuse, Kansas, Duke. But Duke has to win at Florida State on Thursday to stay there. -- Marlen Garcia
@spartychemist: Is this the best Kentucky team since the 1996 Pitino team?
That question will be definitively answered by early April, but you can make an argument that yes, this is the best Kentucky team since 1996. But don't be quick to discount Tubby Smith's 1998 team that won a national title. He didn't have an NBA lottery pick with that group, yet it was a terrific team. Certainly this Kentucky team has to be one of the most, if not the most, talented ever. Take a look at NBAdraft.net, whose analysts predict that Kentucky will have five NBA first-round draft picks (assuming all those players leave early). Freshman Anthony Davis, a national player of the year favorite with Thomas Robinson of Kansas, leads the way as the projected No. 1 pick. In my mind, Kentucky is one of the most improved teams since the start of the season. But it's still a young team that has to prove it can handle the rigors of the postseason (I like its chances). -- Marlen Garcia

To answer your question directly, yes, it is occasionally a little annoying to have to sift through completed jobs. It would be nice if there were a switch for it. But it sounds like you're really asking if anyone would object to the default changing such that completed jobs only showed up if requested. To that I say we'd have no issue with that at all. AFAIK, none of our scripts depend on completed jobs showing up, and any that did could be easily modified. But we tend to process accounting records rather than qstat for anything to do with completed jobs.

A House vote is expected today on an important effort to support those states which choose to deny Medicaid funds to Planned Parenthood or other abortion providers. The "Women's Public Health and Safety Act" (H.R. 3495), introduced by Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI), would make it clear that federal law does not prevent a state from, at its option, excluding organizations that provide elective abortions from the Medicaid program.
