The Alliance for Coastal Technologies (ACT) held a Workshop on Sensor Technology for Assessing Groundwater-Surface Water Interactions in the Coastal Zone on March 7 to 9,2005 in Savannah, GA. The main goal of the workshop was to summarize the general parameters, which have been found to be useful in assessing groundwater-surface water (GW-SW) interactions in the coastal zone. The workshop participants (Appendix I) were specifically charged with identifying the types of sensor systems, if any, that have been used to obtain time-series data and to make known which parameters may be the most amenable to the development/application of sensor technology. The group consisted of researchers, industry representatives, and environmental managers. Four general recommendations were made: 1. Educate coastal managers and agencies on the importance of GW-SW interactions, keeping in mind that regulatory agencies are driven by a different set of rules than researchers: the focus is on understanding the significance of the problem and providing solutions. ACT could facilitate this process in two ways. First, given that the research literature on this subject is fairly diffuse, ACT could provide links from its web site to fact sheets or other literature. Second, ACT could organize a focused meeting for managers and/or agency groups. Encourage development of primary tools for quantifying flow. The most promising technology in this respect is flow meters designed for flux chambers, mainly because they should be simple to use and can be made relatively inexpensively. However, it should be kept in mind that they provide only point measurements and several would need to be deployed as a network in order to obtain reliable flow estimates. For evaluating system wide GW-SW interactions, tools that integrate the signal over large areas would be required. Suggestions include a user-friendly hydrogeologic models, keeping in mind that freshwater flow is not the entire story, or continuous radon monitors. Though the latter would be slightly more difficult to use in terms of background knowledge, such an instrument would be low power and easy to operate and maintain. ACT could facilitate this recommendation by identifying funding opportunities on its web site and/or performing evaluations of existing technologies that could be summarized on the web site.

Madonna & A-Rod supposedly caught on camera
Some dude is claiming he has hidden camera footage of Madonna and A-Rod in a Manhattan apartment having, what can only be described as, the grossest sex of all time. He's demanding a ton of cash for the video and Madonna's lawyers are aware of the guy's claims. The Daily Star reports:
In a series of emails fired off to media outlets, he alleged the footage was shot two months ago in an apartment owned by a pal of Madonna she knows through her devotion to the Kabbalah religion.
The video man – who is also a friend of the apartment owner – claimed he found out and secretly installed a hidden camera in the living room with the lens pointed at the sofa.
Shit, I'll buy them just to throw them down the garbage disposal. I don't want any of this footage to get sent my way and I accidentally watch it. Like I want my face melted off by the Pharaoh's curse that comes from looking at Madonna's vagina. Seriously.
Thanks to KD who once punched a Sphinx.

JAMES McDonald has already made a series of bright starts. Saturday's first ride in a spring classic marks another beginning; ticking the next box - winning a Melbourne group 1 - seems a mere formality.
''It's gunna be … I can't wait for it to happen, it's gunna be great,'' the 20-year-old says. He is assured rather than arrogant, confident not cocky. Yet even a swing towards the latter would only be in step with the belief that New Zealand's latest racing export will soon be making a very big noise.
''He's got a steely determination for a quiet sort of a kid, he's very, very aggressive and strong, and he's very, very competitive - like most great sportsmen,'' says trainer John O'Shea, the driver behind McDonald's move to Sydney this year. In his droll way, O'Shea adds: ''If you're watching racing in New Zealand, it's hard not to see him.''
Riding 207 winners in a season - more than any jockey in Kiwi history - while still an apprentice will tend to get you noticed. Yet it's not just the results but the steely way he gets them that has impressed owners and trainers - and put his fellows on notice - since the farm kid from Cambridge, near Hamilton, crossed the ditch with the glint of a winner in his eye.
''We're not here to play tiddlywinks,'' McDonald says when asked about reports that he has bowed to no one in the Sydney jockeys' room, from top dog Nash Rawiller down. ''As many trainers see you're reasonably confident and think you can do the job, well they're going to put you on.''
O'Shea remembers his first visit to Australia. ''We took him to Randwick, he was straight out of New Zealand, never been to Sydney. He rode three winners, we put him on a plane and sent him home again.'' He gives him first call on his horses, loves his attitude, and reckons he's probably had the wood on Rawiller in their recent meetings. ''He suits me, he's nice and aggressive, he's there to win [races], no matter whether it's a maiden at Galaganbone or a group 1 at Randwick.''
Gai Waterhouse's Melbourne Cup hopes are likely to rest with McDonald and import Fiorente, but more immediately he'll ride Glass Harmonium for Mike Moroney in the Cox Plate, a race the jockey says he wants to win more than any other. Others are more fancied, but group 1 glory may only have to wait a week, when he keeps the Kiwi connection going aboard Murray Baker's unbeaten colt It's A Dundeel at teensy odds in the derby.
''It's the first time I've actually been to a Melbourne spring and had rides every day,'' McDonald says, reminding himself that one of those - a Caulfield Cup mount - has already been missed due to suspension. He is intent on making up for lost time, and lost opportunities when he was younger, greener and given a lesson 12 months ago.
''I said to him when he came down here last year, 'Son, they'll eat you up', and to be fair they probably did,'' says O'Shea, recalling McDonald butchering the ride on Sangster in the Norman Robinson Stakes, being dumped for the derby, and watching Hugh Bowman pilot the gelding to victory. O'Shea says all jockeys must endure such growing pains, and the best emerge from them fast and fully formed.
''I'm completely different,'' McDonald says of his outlook now compared to the homesick teen of 2011. What hasn't changed is an attitude connections love to hear - that big-race riding is big business, and if your idea of enjoyment is in step with that of normal 20-year-olds, racing's not for you.
''When I first started it was almost fun - you ride your first winner, win your first apprentice premiership, go on to your first jockeys' premiership, it all just falls into place really well and you just enjoy it.''
On the good horses, against the good jockeys, amid the spring hype, everything goes up several notches. He's not laughing, but is relishing the challenge.
Inevitable comparisons have been drawn with great New Zealand horsemen such as Shane Dye and Jim Cassidy, and McDonald will walk the Moonee Valley track this week with another expat Kiwi who knows its quirky rises and bends like his own reflection. When you're about to ride in your first Cox Plate, there are few better guides to turn to than Brent Thomson.
''I don't really know what I expected that day,'' Thomson said yesterday, recalling being a 17-year-old on ''a bit of a busman's holiday'' who hadn't even ridden at a city meeting in Australia before Cox Plate day 1975. He duly saluted in the slosh on Fury's Order, and won the race again at his next three attempts too, the last in 1979 on the flying Dulcify.
''He's got great talent, I'm not too sure that he needs too much steering, to be honest,'' Thomson says of McDonald, hailing his balance, hands, and feather-light presence in the saddle.
''That's why they run well for him. Your man's got a great CV already, I don't think he needs to be told too much.''
Wherever he points McDonald as they walk the course, Thomson knows he's ultimately headed in one direction - up. ''Some of the greatest names in New Zealand racing in the last few decades have always made their way to Sydney or Melbourne. He's another one who will make his mark for a long time here.''

Sylmar Earthquake - February 9, 1971
I woke up at about 6:00 this morning, and realized that today is the 42nd anniversary of the San Fernando, a.k.a. Sylmar Earthquake.
The S-wave started hitting San Diego at about 6:13. I was seated at the table that now resides in my own dining room, eating breakfast early so I could catch a bus for my early choir class. I was in 8th grade.
The house swayed back and forth sickeningly for about 30 seconds. I remember a hanging lamp swinging for several minutes. Wall hangings were knocked askew throughout the house.

1. I was in Las Vegas when it happened
20 stories up in the (then) MGM Grand. We thought it was centered in LV. Went downstairs and outside to watch the buildings sway. Seeing all the damage on TV, we weren't sure we would be able to get home.
(Two friends and I had gone to see Elvis.)

2. Back then the REAL Elvis was still performing in Las Vegas.
I never got a chance to see him, but my mom did.
I remember where I was when I heard the news of his death. It's one of those vivid moments I can't forget, just like the Sylmar Earthquake except that nine days later it was still the only thing people were talking about on the radio.

But, I'm ever so glad I went. It was an amazing performance and I missed the brunt of the quake.

8. I thought someone was pounding on my window and shaking my bed.
My little brother across the room woke up when a lamp fell on his head.
We went to school that day because earthquake procedures hadn't yet been refined. Some stuff had fallen down in our classroom. The scariest was the metal fluorescent lamp shade diffusers from the ceiling. The lamps had been set swinging and the ends banged into the walls knocking the diffusers loose. These diffusers had sharp edges and might have cut a few students if the class had been occupied.
After this earthquake, the policy was changed so that kids were sent out onto the playground until the buildings were thoroughly inspected. By the time I was a teacher maybe a third of the kids wouldn't even show up at school after a large earthquake or else their parents would come and check them out of school because everyone knew it would be a long day spent outside.
I once had a boss who'd been working in a lab near the epicenter of the Sylmar quake. The lights went out, the room was shaking, things were falling down, and then the big gas cylinders broke loose, some of them spinning and hopping about the room as the gases escaped. The worst of it was she'd been a kid in Europe during World War II and witnessed bombings. She thought it was a nuclear attack. Needless to say she'd get a little intense when it came to gas cylinder safety. She had zero tolerance for anyone who seemed to be handling them incautiously.

9. It's frightening to think about how weak the codes were then
At the time, it wasn't even required to strap water heaters to wall studs here in California. Shake shingle roofing was still the norm in spite of frequent wildfires like the Laguna Fire of 1970, another big memory for me.
There were still many private and public buildings that had not yet been retrofitted to meet the code changes that were implemented after the 1933 Long Beach earthquake. The 1922 vintage main building of my high school was one of them - Hollow tile masonry and not well reinforced with steel. But it was pretty solid and survived many quakes before it was demolished in 1976..

11. I shared a room with my sister in L.A. County and we slept in a bunkbed, me on top.
My Mom used to come in every morning and wake us up by shaking the end of the bed. I sat up expecting to see her but she wasn't there. About ten seconds after the shaking started she came hopping into the room with her pants around her ankles because she was sitting on the toilet when it struck!
We still laugh about that to this day.

Lloyd Sets Mystikal Free
After a six-year bid behind bars, rapper Mystikal has resurfaced on a new single with singer Lloyd ironically titled 'Set Me Free.' The video for the song which hit the Net over the weekend was filmed in their shared hometown of New Orleans, inside the Calliope projects.
"The stars are aligning in 2010. It's a year of new beginnings … him being released from prison, me getting free from The Inc.," Lloyd told MTV. "The N.O. is gonna love me for this one. It is the first of many [singles]. Since the album won't be coming out until later this year, that's more than enough time to get many songs out. We're gonna start hitting them pretty hard."
In the video the two are surrounded by local neighborhood people showing love and support. They also sing and rap to the sounds of a trademark Big Easy second line.
"The track has the 'second line'/brass band sounds that you can only get back home in New Orleans," Lloyd explained. "I never made a song that repped for my birth city, and when I wrote the record I had only one person in mind. I wanted to make it authentic, so I went back home during Mardi Gras. Me and Mystikal got in the studio, and we knocked it out. The energy was crazy! And as you can see, he hasn't lost a step. Wild Wayne of Q93 [in] New Orleans and Great Street of V103 [in] Atlanta help bring the collaboration together. It was a blessing to work with a legend that Iíve admired for years."

Andover Ladies 2 Lewes Ladies 0.
Following the Christmas break Andover were keen to play again as Lewes had beaten Andover in their first meeting.
Andover began well, passing with fluidity and having the majority of the possession in the first half and they harried Lewes giving them little opportunity to settle.
The midfield pairing of captain Anika Drage and Karen Winnett turned Lewes' attacks to their advantage and the opening goal came when Freyja Haige found Ellie Ingram whose square pass was well finished by Drage. The second half proved more challenging with the defence denying any clear cut chances.
The second came when left back Eleri Watson dispossessed a Lewes forward and Drage and Bel Penfound set up Jacqui West in an excellent position to fire home.
An excellent opening game which leaves Andover sitting in sixth position in the South 3B league two points off third spot.
Full round up from Andover Hockey Club in Friday's Advertiser.

As enticing as it may be to have someone else provide for your well-being, and as much more enticing as it is in hard times such as these, it's gratifying to know that only a small fraction of people even today think that federal government should provide basic living funds to all Americans.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows that only 11 percent favor a proposal for the federal government to provide every single American with a basic income grant, or enough money to enjoy a modest living regardless of whether they choose to work or not.
Eighty-two percent oppose this idea.
We know the 11 percent favorable figure is comforting because it's in the range of the percentage of people who think Elvis is alive.
Some times it's nice to be reminded that not everyone thinks Obama (fill in your sugar daddy: Jerry Brown, Congress, the state Legislature…) owes you a living.

by Susan Gawlowicz for Rochester Institute of Technology
Rochester NY (SPX) Jul 16, 2014
Stars forming like a string of blue pearls along two elliptical galaxies could be the result of a galactic merger, according to an international team of astronomers. The structure could reveal rare insights about elliptical galaxies.
Scientists from Rochester Institute of Technology helped analyze data from the Hubble Space Telescope showing elliptical galaxies coalescing at the core of a dense galaxy cluster.
The study is part of a program sponsored by the Hubble Space Telescope-an international cooperation between NASA and the European Space Agency-to look inside 23 massive clusters first catalogued in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.
Findings of the study, "A thirty-kiloparsec chain of 'beads-on-a-string' star formation between two merging early type galaxies in the core of a strong-lensing galaxy cluster," are available online, and in an upcoming issue of The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
"These data were originally taken for a completely different purpose-to study the bluish arcs on larger scales in the cluster," said Chris O'Dea, professor in RIT's School of Physics and Astronomy and a co-author on the paper. "We were not expecting to catch these two elliptical galaxies in this spectacular burst of star formation."
O'Dea and co-author Stefi Baum, professor and director of RIT's Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science, were thesis advisers and mentors of the paper's lead author, Grant Tremblay, a post-doctoral fellow at the European Southern Observatory in Garching, Germany, and an inaugural alumnus of RIT's astrophysical sciences and technology Ph.D. program. Tremblay will join Yale University as a NASA Einstein Fellow in September.
The 100,000-light-year-long structure identified in the Hubble data is dotted with 19 young, blue star clusters like pearls on a string, evenly spaced and separated by 3,000 light-years. The star necklace will lose its shape in about 10 million years as each of the 19 stellar superclusters follows a different orbit, Tremblay said.
Earlier observations of star clusters forming in evenly distributed clumps in spiral galaxies could explain Tremblay's "serendipitous discovery" in the Hubble data.
"This phenomenon has never been seen before in merging elliptical galaxies," Tremblay said. "We have two big monsters and they're playing tug-of-war with this necklace."
Tremblay and his team suggest three possible scenarios that could have created the string-of-pearl stars between two elliptical galaxies:
+ Merger-Coalescing galaxies triggered a reservoir of cold gas into star formation
+ Cooling flow of gas-Hot gas from the X-ray atmosphere around the galaxies cooled into puddles of cold molecular gas and started to form stars
+ Collision-A galactic collision created an X-ray shock catalyzing the star formation by compressing the gas and cooling the plasma.
"Compared to a galaxy's lifetime of billions of years, star formation processes-which take millions of years-are quite brief," said Kevin Cooke, graduate student in RIT's astrophysical sciences and technology program.
"To find such an event in early type galaxies where star formation is rare is an incredibly fortunate find. Research into star formation in galaxies helps address many fundamental questions about the universe, and this rare star formation event will help propel this field of knowledge."

Kawecki the pastor for merged Everson, Scottdale parishes
The Diocese of Greensburg recently made the decision to make St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Everson and St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church in Scottdale partner parishes.
And while there will be just one priest who will serve both parishes, diocese spokesman Jerry Zufelt said the parishes will remain separate.
"The primary reasons for the decision that was made by Bishop Brandt were the declining number of priests, the aging of our priests and a declining number of attendance," he said. "He felt we could better allocate the spiritual and personnel resources of the diocese."
The diocese also did a few other parish partnerships in the Greensburg area including St. Paul with St. Bruno and Our Lady of Grace with St. Benedict.
"We just don't have enough priests to pastor every parish," Zufelt said.
The Rev. Andrew Kawecki has taken on the role of pastor for St. Joseph's and St. John the Baptist.
Kawecki was born in Poland, but completed his schooling in the United States. He was ordained in 1980 for the Diocese of Greensburg and his last assignment was pastor of the partner parish of St. Cyril and Methodius in Fairchance and St. Hubert in Point Marion.
He is no stranger to partner parishes, although this is his first time in the Fay-West area.
"So far it's been wonderful," Kawecki said. "There are wonderful people and the area is a great one to explore and see.
Kawecki arrived June 25 and has had the opportunity to perform Mass at both parishes.
"I think the people are very open and ready for the partnership, and we will build on that," he said. "While they will share a pastor and a Eucharist, the parishes will retain their identities."
The challenge for Kawecki right now is simply to get moved in and to combine those things between the two parishes, such as administration efforts.
Masses are scheduled for 4 p.m. Saturdays and 10:30 a.m. Sundays at St. John's as well as 8:30 p.m. on Sundays at St. Joseph's.
"But parishioners are certainly welcome to attend any Mass they would like no matter which parish they are used to attending," Kawecki said.
"I'm looking forward to uniting the parishes more and to serve them and be their pastor," he said. "The people are very great and warm and kind in both of the churches."
The formal installation ceremony for Kawecki will be held at 7 p.m. Monday, July 29, in St. John's by Bishop Lawrence Brandt.

Clark Veterans Cemetery
Also known as: Clark Air Force Base Cemetery, Clark Cemetery
Pampanga Province
Central Luzon Philippines
Clark Veterans Cemetery:
First Name
Last Name
Cemetery notes and/or description:
The Clark Cemetery was formed between 1947 and 1950 by moving the headstones/markers and remains from at least four other U.S. military cemeteries (Fort Stotsenburg 1 & 2, Fort McKinley, and Sangley Point naval cemetery) to the new 20.365 acre, 12,000 plot cemetery located just inside the main gate of Clark Air Base. All WWII dead were moved to the American Cemetery in Manila.
The cemetery contains the remains of U.S. veterans from the USA, USN, USMC, USCG, USAF, Philippine Scouts (PS) and their dependents. Some, but not all, were veterans of the Spanish/American, Philippine Insurrection, WWI, WWII (died after the war), Korean, Vietnam, and Iraq wars. The largest category interred are civilian, mostly U.S. and Filipino and their dependents, all of whom worked for the U.S. Government. In addition, nationals from France, Spain, Canada, Japan, China, Vietnam and India are buried there.
The earliest recorded burial is Santiago Belona, Pvt, PS, DOD: Jan 13, 1900. There are no records, but it is probable that this individual was moved from either Fort Stotsenburg 1 or 2. There are 8,649 individuals buried in the cemetery as of December 31, 2010.
Dual flags have flown over the cemetery since March 1984. A special waiver was given to the provisions of the 1979 revised MBA to allow the U.S. flag to be displayed. This revision was secured from the Philippine government at the request of the Commander, 13th Air Force, Major General Burns. From 1979-1984, only one U.S. flag had been allowed to be flown on Clark Air Base…the one located immediately in front of 13th Air Force headquarters.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2485 in Angeles City supported and maintained the cemetery between 1994 and 2013. In December 2013, operational control of the cemetery was assumed by the U.S. American Battle Monuments Commission, making Clark ABMC's 25th cemetery.

Tonia Couch finished ninth in the 10m platform final at the Fina World Aquatics Championships in Shanghai.
The Plymouth diver was in ninth throughout the competition, apart from when she jumped to seventh after the second round.
The 22-year-old finished with 315.05 points to finish one place lower than at the last World Championships in Rome two years ago.
It was Couch's second final in the outdoor diving pool at the Oriental Sports Centre after she finished fourth alongside Sarah Barrow in the 10m synchro – the pair becoming the most successful British female divers in World Championships history in doing so.
By reaching the final, Couch had guaranteed a British quota place for the event at the London Olympics next summer.
China continue to dominate the diving with Chen Ruolin and Hu Yadan filling the top two places and Paola Espinosa of Mexico in third.

Alba Vacation Packages
The national capital Rome is situated 300 miles (483 kilometers) southeast of Alba, while Turin lies 30 miles (48 kilometers) to the northwest.
Make sure you see the the Cathedral Square Alba when you are in Alba.
To find out why so may vacationers pick Piedmont as a place to vacation, make sure you and your loved ones allow some time to hit the road and explore the places surrounding Alba. Approximately 10 miles (16 kilometers) away you'll find Novello. Set aside a day here to visit the Novello Castle and Parish of St. Michael the Archangel.
When it's time to spread your wings, check out the nearest center. Asti is situated 16 miles (26 kilometers) away and features visitor attractions including Cantina Contratto, Piazza Alfieri and Castello di Govone. Cathedral of Asti and Collegiata di San Secondo are just a handful of the other interesting visitor attractions that await.
Many people who visit Piedmont enjoy the wide range of open-air markets, open-air museums and open-air exhibits here. Piedmont offers travelers some significant shrines and other holy sites, great places to get a taste of the region's spiritual heart.
Why don't you relax and enjoy during gentle pastimes such as bird watching and shore fishing. Both activities are popular with both tourists and locals alike. If the weather is good during your stay, discover Piedmont's watery side. Scuba diving and swimming are just two of the well-established watersports here.
When it comes time to head off and say "Ciao" to Alba, you'll have loads of happy memories to take home.

Tomorrow we are going to host a live chat with the team leads from our BUILT from eBay video series. Before we begin, we have an introduction to the teams and team leaders.
As you may recall, four teams and four garages were chosen to select and build a custom vehicle sourced entirely from eBay. At the end of the 60 day build period, a winner was chosen and all four cars were auctioned on eBay with the proceeds from each auction going to the team's favorite charity.
Brian Mackey / Mackey's Hot Rods
Brian Mackey was born a half-century too late. At least that's what you'd think, based on the hot rods that he builds with the care and artfulness of a greaser from '60s-era Southern California. That's why it's no coincidence that his self-owned shop, Mackey's Hot Rods, is located in Huntington Beach, the home of hot rod culture. Regardless of birth decade, Mackey possesses the car knowledge of someone generations older, thanks in no small part to the fact that he learned everything from his grandfather.

Mel Wade / Off Road Evolution
There's big. And then there's Off Road Evolution big, which looks a lot more like "humongous." Founder Mel Wade has made his name building the biggest, baddest off-roaders, rock crawlers and other vehicles with wheels that'd dwarf an NBA player. Aside from churning out vehicles, Mel has also turned Off Road Evolution into a full-blown industry, selling its own line of suspensions, bumpers, armor and other 4×4 essentials. So in describing Off Road Evolution, maybe "humongous" isn't even humongous enough.

Rico Duran / Duran's Quality Painting
Located in Baldwin Park—the epicenter of lowrider culture—Duran's is big on two things: family and turning out the most beautifully painted lowriders around. In fact, Rico has a good chunk of his family tree working for him to make sure that every lowrider that rolls out of his shop is perfect. And if it requires an all-nighter or two, fret not: Rico and family will fire up the barbecue alongside the paint booth.

Michael Essa and Nick Richards / GSR Autosport
There's something crazy about taking a car that's already insanely fast—say, a Porsche—and making it an absolute monstrosity of speed and power. But that's exactly what has catapulted GSR Autosport into the ranks of the best Porsche builders in the country. Founded in 2010 by Michael Essa and Nick Richards, GSR is all about redefining what it means to go fast. Really, really fast.

It is imperative that we consider the use of current and emerging technologies in terms of the nature of our learners, the physical environment of the lecture theatre, and how technology may help to support appropriate pedagogies that facilitate the capturing of student attention in active engaging learning experiences. It is argued that a re-evaluation of pedagogy is required to address the tech-savy traits of the 21st century learner and the extent to which their mobile devices are capable of not only distracting them from learning but also enhancing face-to-face learning experiences.

Recent evidence indicates that foamy viruses (FVs) are the oldest retroviruses (RVs) that we know and coevolved with their hosts for several hundred million years. This coevolution may have contributed to the non-pathogenicity of FVs, an important factor in development of foamy viral vectors in gene therapy. However, various questions on the molecular evolution of FVs remain still unanswered. The analysis of the spectrum of animal species infected by exogenous FVs or harboring endogenous FV elements in their genome is pivotal. Furthermore, animal studies might reveal important issues, such as the identification of the FV
Retroviruses have gained a lot of general interest, because of the devastating human AIDS pandemic over the last 35 years, making HIV one of the best-studied viruses of all times. However, lentiviruses, such as HIV, are not the most widespread of
This life in a scientific niche is also illustrated by the fact that while the PubMed database lists more than 330,000 items for the search criteria "HIV or AIDS", the hits are only around 1,000 for "foamy virus". The interest in foamy viruses (FVs) is increasing, since these viruses offer unique opportunities for RV research, due to their distinct replication strategy, distinguishing them from orthoretroviruses [
Viruses with an RNA genome or an RNA (pre-) genome phase in their replication cycle are likely to accumulate genetic changes over time [
This scenario may be further complicated by recombination events exchanging larger pieces of genetic information mainly between related viruses by replicase during genome copying [
Numerous examples of high genetic variability of the retroviral, hepadnaviral and positive (+) strand RNA virus families have been investigated in detail (HIV, hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are only the most prominent ones causing chronic infections in humans [
However, FVs appear to be an exception to these general rules of RNA virus and retrovirus genetic variability, because their genome is highly stable [
The principal replication strategies of viruses making use of reverse transcription. While orthoretroviruses are RNA viruses, which replicate through a DNA intermediate and require integration for reproduction, hepadnaviruses are DNA viruses replicating through an RNA intermediate without the integration of their genome. FVs appear to functionally bridge these pathways, since they reverse transcribe (at least to a significant extent) late in replication (like hepadnaviruses) and must integrate their genome into the host cell genome (like orthoretroviruses). Furthermore, cellular exit of FV particles depends on their cognate glycoprotein as in hepadnaviruses, while budding of orthoretroviral particles is Env-independent (Figure adapted from [

Innate host defense and viral counter-defense can determine the outcome of many viral infections, resulting in the survival of hosts and viral genomes (positive selection). Central to the innate host defense is the interferon (IFN) system. Due to the profound effect of IFN on viral replication, there has been mutual evolutionary modulation by viruses on the host's IFN system and by the host's IFN system on viral genomes [
Early studies have indicated the sensitivity of FV replication to IFNs [
The induction of IFNs may have resulted in various adaptations that allowed the virus to replicate even in their presence. The mode of action of IFNs to establish the antiretroviral state includes the hyper-induction of cellular proteins (restriction factors) by which the battle of host
However, with FVs, it appears that the host-virus battle is supposedly over and may have occurred in evolutionary history. If FV infections were to be completely non-pathogenic, there would be no need for the host to adapt to these viruses nor for the virus to counteract the host response. In this situation the only "interest" of the virus would be to multiply its genome and propagate without affecting the host. This may be an additional reason for the initial difficulty in assigning Bet an APOBEC3-counteracting function [
(A) TRIM5α
The oligomeric tripartite motif (TRIM) proteins of primates include a large family of antiviral effectors that are made of conserved building blocks, namely an N-terminal RING finger domain, one or two B-box motifs, a coiled-coil motif (these three are collectively called the RBCC-domain) and the C-terminal B30.2/SPRY domain, which confers retrovirus capsid-binding [
TRIM5α proteins inhibit a very early stage of orthoretroviral replication before reverse transcription occurs by interfering with capsid breakdown and uncoating of the viral RNA, which is a requisite for reverse transcription to take place. To do this, they physically bind to capsids and might induce their proteasomal degradation [
TRIM5α proteins act in a species-specific manner [
FVs are also vulnerable to these proteins [
If the retroviral genomes were to be reverse transcribed (note that there is a distinctive difference between orthoretroviruses and spumaretroviruses with respect to the time-point of reverse transcription in the viral replication cycle, which, in the case of the latter, appears to take place to a very large extent in virus-producing cells [

1. Exogenous FVs might be present in species outside the class of placental Mammalia. Therefore, it will be scientifically extremely interesting to see FV isolates/sequences from Marsupialia, monotremes, birds, reptiles and amphibians. Even their presence as exogenous viruses in some fish species is not excluded, and the very much cell-associated nature of the agents might have yet prevented their detection.
2. The very long coevolution with animals may be the real reason for the benign nature of FV infections. For reasons of scientific consistency, it might be theoretically distracting and, for reasons of vector application, probably, medically beneficial that a genuine human FV does apparently not exist.
The authors would like to thank Manfred Schartl and Fabian Leendertz for providing the fish and simian FV sequences and the reviewers for their suggestions. We are indebted to Kristin Kaufmann for editorial assistance and the DFG for continuous support.
The authors declare no conflict of interest.

Ingrid Betancourt, a former presidential candidate, delivered her plea in a videotape which was broadcast on Colombian television on Saturday.
The videotape was the first evidence in more than a year that Ms Betancourt was still alive.
She was kidnapped in February 2002, along with her campaign manager, by guerrillas from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).
The guerrillas want a number of rebel prisoners freed in return for Ms Betancourt's release.
'Be careful'
In her message, a haggard and gaunt looking Ms Betancourt said President Uribe alone must decide whether to authorise a rescue mission.
President Uribe told reporters Ms Betancourt's plea "is something the government must handle very carefully,
which the defence ministry has to analyse.
"I believe that the government's only response is, be careful," he said.
The danger of trying to rescue hostages was highlighted in May of this year, when FARC guerrillas killed 10 captives as government soldiers closed in on them.
Rescue fears
Ms Betancourt's family has consistently opposed mounting a rescue mission, but Defence Minister Marta Lucia Ramirez said the video might change their minds.
"I believe that with this statement from Ingrid we will have the opportunity to have discussions with her family... which will in the future permit us to rescue her," he said.
Ms Betancourt's husband, Juan Carlos Lecompte, said he was now in favour of a rescue attempt.
"I support a rescue but only if it's going to be well-planned," he said.
Ms Betancourt's mother, Yolando Pulecio, said she was afraid a rescue attempt might end in failure.
"She is very brave, but to me, a mother, a rescue terrifies me," she said.
Ms Betancourt is one of the most high-profile of about 850 captives held by the FARC.
Last year, nearly 3,000 people were taken hostage in Colombia, which has the highest incidence of kidnapping anywhere in the world.

Identity Construction and Learning Processes at Copenhagen Business School: A Study of International Full-time Students
In the light of globalization, and especially of the Bologna process in Europe, many graduate students take the decision of cursing their graduate studies abroad. This affects the host country students as well as educators and curriculum developers. Knowledge/learning and students become more culturally diverse, so the learning processes denationalize themselves. This qualitative based study presents the relation between identity and learning in international graduate full-time students at Copenhagen Business School (CBS), and the consequences that these have in their learning approaches and processes. The research has as a focus the interaction between prior knowledge of the international students, concentrating on their way of learning and their perception and approaches about learning at CBS.
Our findings lead us to the assumptions that in relation to identity, international students embrace a group identity, which is explicitly differentiated from the exchange and Danish students. They define different challenges they encounter in Denmark and CBS, and all of them define their experience as international, being a positive concept. Students also mention the lost of continuity in changing country of residence and study. In relation to learning, all students see a difference in the way they learn at CBS from their home countries, which encourage them to be more critical and stand by themselves. Furthermore, the students recognize that they take the decision to engage more or less deep in their lectures, depending on their present and future expectations. Also, the role and interaction with the teacher is determinant in their level of engagement.
The Danish students are included in the study as a control group, to see the variations or similarities in which national and international individuals construct a sense of identity and engage in learning at CBS.

Couple that with the stresses of work, family and the shuffle of everyday life, and you have one whopper of a doldrums setting in about now.
But Karen Reivich knows all this – knows it, in fact, much better than the average person. She analyzes happiness for a living.
Technically, Reivich, 39, is a research associate at the University of Pennsylvania's Department of Psychology, where she co-directs a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health to study the prevention of depression and promotion of resilience in schoolchildren. She is also a co-principal investigator on a Department of Education grant to teach positive psychology to ninth-grade students. To top it off, she also teaches in the Master's of Applied Positive Psychology program, in its inaugural year at Penn.
Reivich, who once thought she was "destined to write jingles" for an ad agency, acquired these lofty titles by spending 20 years doing research as an undergraduate and graduate student at Penn, where she earned her Ph.D. in psychology.
The Upper Darby native – who still marvels at the idea that "I'd spend my whole life here" – became drawn into the field through an abnormal psychology class she took from Penn professor Martin Seligman, a decades-long researcher and creator of the ideology behind the Web site ReflectiveHappiness.com.
Reivich boils down a description of this subject to a basic question: "How do you have happiness in your life?" And she answers that with three distinct responses: You need positive emotions (i.e., feelings of joy), engagement with others (social ties, communal connections) and meaning in your life (causes, charities, religion, spirituality).
"We teach people to become more optimistic," she goes on to explain. "We broaden the notion of happiness; we help people understand that they can have more thoughtfulness around happiness. You're not destined to be unhappy, and it's never too late to make changes."
Contemporary society, she states, is simply brimming with overwhelming accounts of how bad the world is. The Internet, TV news, other media outlets – all contribute to anxiety, sadness and a lack of control that can be problematic, especially for children.
"When I grew up, you could turn on the TV and see ugliness in your own backyard. Now, with CNN, you can see ugliness in every backyard in every part of the world. Nobody needs to be watching that more than two minutes a day!
"You have to change the average diet – the 90 percent of ugliness, badness and danger combined with just 10 percent of goodness, beauty and happiness."
This researcher challenges common assumptions about contemporary life – that, for instance, you have to have money and material goods to be happy. She pushes that aside to stress the intellectual component of actually being happy, and the tools to tap into it: "It's working toward a life full of engagement and meaning. It's about investing energy in relationships you have in your life right now."
Reivich knows from this, as well. Co-author of The Optimistic Child (1995) and The Resilience Factor (2002), she is also the mother of four young children – 81?2-year-old twins Jacob and Aaron; son Jonathan, 6; and daughter Shayna, almost 2. Husband Guy Diamond shares her knowledge of all things deep-seated as an associate professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Penn. The family resides in Narberth.
Write It Down!
The boon for this working mother is that she can bring some of the rewards of her profession home.
For example, she uses exercises to help guide her children: compiling an end-of-the-day "good stuff" journal, where the kids write down three good things that happened to them (something funny, beautiful, remarkable), and then jot a sentence or two about those blessings.
That's in addition to creating an "awe" wall – with pictures, notes, letters, school projects and other items that inspire. Reivich has one at work and another at home, and suggests that others do the same. It's a reminder that good things sit right in front of you, if you manage to pay attention and take the time to look.
Of course, to get all this accomplished, she works – full-time – "in a funky kind of way."
As she explains, "I make compromises. I have a wonderful career, but I don't travel the way others do, and I'm not going to become a tenured-track professor."
For her, that works – tackling parenthood as not just a physical but intellectual challenge: "I think about it; I engage with my kids. I see things from their perspective, their sense of awe and wonder."
She also taps into religion, and wants her children "to have a strong sense of Judaism." The family, which belongs to Main Line Reform Temple, Beth Elohim in Wynnewood, celebrates the holidays together and often lights the Shabbat candles, and Reivich is planning for Bar Mitzvahs and a Bat Mitzvah for her kids – something she chose not to have. She stopped going to Hebrew school in her younger years to play competitive kickball, and later regretted it.
For her offspring, she wants community and ethics, and the notion of "giving back" – what she identifies with as a Jew. She wants for them fairness and feeling, self-esteem and the joy of the process, to do for the sake of enjoyment. She wants them to know "who they are at their best."
And, of course, she wants them to be happy.

Credit Card System Update (IN11-003)
Just a quick update on the IN11-003 bug.. Most vendors are patched now, however a few holdouts remain.
I can however report that at least one of the oAuth provider libraries that was affected has now patched their software. So if you're a user of tmhOauth, (commonly used with Twitter) you will want to upgrade to at least version 0.61.
If you're an affected vendor who wants to go public, please let me know and I'll do what I can to help get the upgrade message out.
Also, developers please ensure that you do not set CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST to false or true, (the correct value is unset or 2). This will also cause the IN11-003 vulnerability in your code.

[ Photo: Narendra Modi's electio would spell the bad news for India's legacy]
By Sajeda Momin in Calcutta
Much like Britain's first female Prime Minister, Margret Thatcher, who recently died, you either love him or hate him, but you cannot ignore him! I am talking about Narendra Modi, the current Chief Minister of the Gujarat, a state in western India, who has been unofficially anointed the prime ministerial candidate for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) when the country goes to the polls next year.
A la Mrs Thatcher, Modi has been able to galvanise his party workers and allow them to dream that under his leadership they will finally be able to give the ruling Congress party and its allies a run for their money at the hustings. A fundamentalist right-wing leader with his antecedents in the BJP's ideological anchor, the Rashtriya SwaymSevak Sangh (RSS) which would like to see India turned into a Hindu state from the pluralist democracy that it is today, Modi appeals to party workers because they have seen him win three consecutive elections in Gujarat with his jingoistic rhetoric. Modi is seen as a strong leader who brooks no opposition and who has over the last 15 years slowly swept all possible opponents in Gujarat out of his path. His ability to put a spin on his actions and win elections has made him incredibly popular in the BJP, where he is seen as the strongest vote-catcher in the current leadership.
Until now the BJP was led by Atal Behari Vajpayee and Lal Krishna Advani, who were considered the founding fathers of the party and its tallest leaders. Vajpayee was seen as the softer face of the BJP and became prime minister three times; each time the party was able to forge winning coalitions.
Advani was the hard-man who worked at the grass roots and who kept the party organisation running smoothly. Today Vajpayee is suffering from ill-health and has been out of circulation for a few years. The octogenarian Advani, who was PM candidate in the last election (2009), was forced to step down from the post of party president accepting responsibility for the poll debacle.
Since then the second rung leaders in the BJP feel his days are over and he should make way for a younger leader. Modi's three-time win and his spin of projecting himself as the face of Gujarat's development and prosperity has made him the natural choice in the party. His supporters keep claiming that he has caught the imagination of the younger generation and considering that more than half of the Indian population is under the age of 35 years of age, they are hoping that the 'excitement' will translate into votes.
Just as Modi has 'groupies' who consider him the 'great white hope' who will bring victory to the BJP at the hustings, there are just as many who loathe Modi and consider him the most divisive leader that India has produced so far. Leading the pack, ironically, is Advani, Modi's political mentor and once his staunchest supporter. Advani had moulded Modi in his own image and on his many rath yatras (road rallies), Modi was always by Advani's side. It was Advani who suggested that the electoral novice Modi be made Chief Minister of Gujarat and in turn Modi ensured that Advani always contested and won from Gandhinager, the state capital.
After the anti-Muslim pogrom in Gujarat in 2001 in which Modi was accused of orchestrating, some leaders in the BJP including Vajpayee, felt that Modi should be removed from the chief ministership. At this point it was Advani who fought for and saved Modi his job. But today he is ruing the day he did that as the monster has now become bigger than Dr Frankenstein.
By becoming the chief of the campaign committee, a stepping stone to being appointed the prime ministerial candidate, Modi dashed Advani's ambition of ever becoming the Prime Minister of India. All the other second rung leaders in the party who also owe their careers to Advani have left their mentor's side and are now supporting the man who they feel will change their fortune.
The anointment of Modi has also ended a 17-year-long alliance between the BJP and the Janata Dal (United). After the anti-Muslim pogrom, Modi became a political pariah for some of the BJP's electoral allies who have large numbers of Muslim voters. Nitesh Kumar, the Chief Minister of Bihar, who heads a coalition with the BJP, has prevented Modi from campaigning in his state and has over the last decade kept his distance, unwilling to share the same dias as Modi.
Apart from Muslim voters for whom Modi is an untouchable thanks to the blood he has on his hands, secular Hindus also find him divisive and distasteful. For them if Modi was to become the prime minister it would be the end of the secular, plural and inclusive India that they know and love. For the BJP the die has now been cast and it is unlikely that from now till next year any major changes will be made. What remains to be seen is whether voters are as bowled over by Modi's spin-doctoring as his party workers have been so far.

Same issue here. Any lucK fixing it?
This is a discussion on "kinect is unplugged"...but it is actually plugged in! help me! within the Xbox One Hardware and Accessories forums, part of the Xbox One Forums category; So right before i updated my console, the kinect did turn on (and looked real cool). but once i got updated and made it to ...
So right before i updated my console, the kinect did turn on (and looked real cool). but once i got updated and made it to the kinect set up, it told me it was unplugged. i tried to unlpug it and plug it back in, restart the console. Idk man, just wont work
Same issue here. Any lucK fixing it?
You guys aren't alone. There's a decent sized group of us with "unplugged" Kinects even though our Xbox Ones are working just fine. I know it's frustrating but contact MS or the store you bought your console from and see if you can get a replacement ASAP. I'm hoping it's a software glitch and not a physical defect with the Kinects themselves. I have a feeling it's software related since they worked at first for everyone with this problem and randomly stopped being read as plugged in at some point. We'll see what happens.
Hi guys, I have just had the same issue. Xbox one and Kinect working fine until 12 hours in and then Kinect disconnected. No warning at all. I didn't realize until trying to chat to mates.
Anyway, contacted Xbox support and there prognosis is hardware failure. I find that hard to swallow and think it could be software related as my auto update is on etc. But if there is only a small percentage then perhaps it is hardware. I'll reboot in 8 hours and check forums before calling the retailer and bringing it back. Really dissapointed about this.
Yep same problem. I'm on a chat with microsoft support and they just try to take you through the setup again, pretty much what you find in the FAQ's, don't bother calling the support, I also called gamestop and they said to wait a few days and see what happens, nothing can be done since it just came out.

Same problem here... I called best buy but they are sold out so i can't return mine yet.... i only have 15 days to return it otherwise i'll have to ship it to microsoft and wait weeks before i get a return x.x... this sucks. it worked perfectly for me for hours last night and i turned it on this morning and put netflix on for like 5 mins and it turned off and so i went to the home dashboard or w/e and it said the kinect was unplugged.... I unhooked everything I replugged everything in I restarted the console with and without the kinect plugged in... i followed everything on the xbox one kinect's support page for "unplugged kinect issues" and nothing... i called geek squad lol to see what i can do to return it and the guy said that he thinks the kinect is just over heated from being on top of my tv.... but it was only on for 10 mins this morning. this sucks. I'm just gonna go ahead and play dead rising 3 until i can get a replacement... ugh just my luck.
... and why is this the only page i can find anything about this issue?
Im having the same problem..I got it to work lasnight..turned it off..didnt work again till I turned the console off and unplugged itfor like 5 mminutes.then it worked for about 5 hours 2day and shut-off again..Im like others hoping its a software issue..
Found a lot of people with this issue later on and hope is a software one like mentioned. Could be hardware though as the kinect being always on could have overheating issues maybe?
Called my local retailer here in Oz but they were out of stock or they would have swapped it. Will get some feedback on Monday when they contact MS etc...gutted the kinect doesn't, was really enjoying the skype calls on it. At least my games are running all good. Anyone up for some Fifa/Forza or Nba2k14 add me. Gamertag Carlton009

A goiter (GOI-tur) is an abnormal enlargement of your thyroid gland. Your thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of your neck just below your Adam's apple. Although goiters are usually painless, a large goiter can cause a cough and make it difficult for you to swallow or breathe.
The most common cause of goiters worldwide is a lack of iodine in the diet. In the United States, where the use of iodized salt is common, a goiter is more often due to the over- or underproduction of thyroid hormones or to nodules that develop in the gland itself.
Treatment depends on the size of the goiter, your symptoms and the underlying cause. Small goiters that aren't noticeable and don't cause problems usually don't need treatment.

Newcomers to Tucson know the Santa Cruz River as a dry bed that can become a rampaging flood after heavy rains. Yet until the late nineteenth century, the Santa Cruz was an active watercourse that
New in paperback, 2006!
An important book, no only for scholars of water and the southwestern United States, but also for those interested in examining more closely the complicated ways in which humans interact with and shape the places in which they live. More than just a book about an obscure little river in Arizona, Logan's study transcends its subject matter.
—Ethics, Place, and Environment
Logan has done an excellent job of documenting the ebb and flow of the river over the course of twelve thousand years. . . . An unconventional perspective on the history of a particular place.
—Environmental History
served the region's agricultural needs—until a burgeoning industrial society began to tap the river's underground flow.
The Lessening Stream
reviews the changing human use of the Santa Cruz River and its aquifer from the earliest human presence in the valley to today. Michael Logan examines the social, cultural, and political history of the Santa Cruz Valley while interpreting the implications of various cultures' impacts on the river and speculating about the future of water in the region.
Logan traces river history through three eras—archaic, modern, and postmodern—to capture the human history of the river from early Native American farmers through Spanish missionaries to Anglo settlers. He shows how humans first diverted its surface flow, then learned to pump its aquifer, and today fail to fully understand the river's place in the urban environment.
By telling the story of the meandering river—from its origin in southern Arizona through Mexico and the Tucson Basin to its terminus in farmland near Phoenix—Logan links developments throughout the river valley so that a more complete picture of the river's history emerges. He also contemplates the future of the Santa Cruz by confronting the serious problems posed by groundwater pumping in Tucson and addressing the effects of the Central Arizona Project on the river valley.
Skillfully interweaving history with hydrology, geology, archaeology, and anthropology,
The Lessening Stream
makes an important contribution to the environmental history of southern Arizona. It reminds us that, because water will always be the focus for human activity in the desert, we desperately need a more complete understanding of its place in our lives.

I support a full withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan.
I support using those funds to rebuild our middle class and reduce the deficit.
I support Hillary Clinton's smart power approach to foreign policy in order to build stronger relationships and coalitions across the world.
I oppose rushing to war, and will vigorously oppose any future attempts to embroil America in a conflict without confirmed intelligence, a clear mission, and an exit plan. I support imposing sanctions and taking all other nonmilitary actions before considering military options.
I oppose Presidents engaging to engage in military conflict without Congressional approval and will not support a war without an official declaration of war from Congress.
I support restoring American moral values to our treatment of prisoners and fully ending all forms of torture and following the UN CAT treaty (Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment). I support penalties for any military or civilian or political officials involved in ordering or executing torture of prisoners.
I support strong intelligence services but will work to ensure there is sufficient oversight to protect the civil liberties of American citizens, and to make sure privacy is respected.
I support cutting some wasteful weapons systems and research programs that are costing far too much money. I support investing this money in the American middle class instead.
I support full funding for the Veterans Administration and full funding for existing and new employment programs for returning soldiers and veterans.
When it comes to war and national security, we must find a balance between our needs at home, and our liberties, as well as security. I believe we are far off course in terms of finding the right balance.
I support a full withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan, because have a number of problems here at home that require our attention, and our resources. I want to make sure we avoid the rush to war that led us into Iraq. I will not support a war without an official declaration of war from Congress. That is the power of Congress, and we cannot be led into conflicts at the whim of a President with only a stroke of the pen. There is too much at stake when we go to war, and I will require a careful and thoughtful examination before we send troops into harm's way.
Our military is the best in the world. We also spend far more on defense than is necessary to be the best in the world. We should spend less on wasteful acquisitions, and focus on taking care of our veterans.
We can maintain a strong security posture while cutting a lot of waste out of the defense budget. These funds can help us reduce the debt and make critical investments at home. Defense has become a way for politicians to fund pork projects. We maintain dozens of bases abroad, some of which are no longer necessary. We continue to purchase new nuclear and chemical weapons, despite the fact we have more than enough to destroy the world multiple times. We purchase expensive planes, ships, and new weapons technologies that are not necessary to achieve security. In short, we can cut a lot of wasteful spending and be just as safe.
We must protect ourselves from domestic and international terrorists, but at the same time, we must not forget that our rights as Americans make us free. They are worth protecting. I do not support indefinite detentions without trial. This is un-American and despite what some might argue, it is immoral. I feel that torture or "enhanced interrogation" is equally immoral. I also do not support the right of the government to engage in surveillance of American citizens without a warrant and this would include reading your emails, listening to your phone calls, and watching what books you take out from the library. Our government should be in the business of protecting citizens, not spying on them. We must continue to fund and advance counterterrorism while reversing the infringement upon civil liberties in the Patriot Act and the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 (NDAA).
Our active duty troops and veterans deserve our respect, and I support full funding of the Veterans Administration. No soldier should be left to fend for themselves when it comes to chemical exposure, trauma, and other injuries. I also support more incentives and focus on ensuring our veterans are able to find employment when they come home. They served us, and I believe in serving them.

KUTV won big by not losing. KSL continued to decline, barely holding off KSTU for second place. And everybody is wondering what happened to Utah TV viewers, many of whom unexpectedly and inexplicably stopped watching during the February sweeps, according to A.C. Nielsen.
In the all-important late-news competition, there was no contest for first place. KUTV-Channel 2 ran away with it, averaging a 12.3 rating more than second-place KSL-Channel 5 (5.8) and third-place KSTU-Channel 13 (5.7) combined. Channel 2 held steady compared to February 2012; Channel 5 was down 27 percent; Channel 13 was down 7 percent; and KTVX-Ch. 4 (3.3) was down 6 percent.
"We're pretty proud of that 12.3," KUTV's general manager Kent Crawford said. "It's the widest margin of victory over KSL that we've ever had."
These numbers are Nielsen's live plus same-day DVR viewing for the Monday-Friday newscasts from Jan. 30-Feb. 27. They are household numbers; demographics won't be in until mid-March and local stations will be anxiously waiting to see who finishes second in the demos.
Channel 2 also led the local news ratings in the morning, at midday, and at 4:30 p.m., 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. The only time period in which a KUTV newscast didn't beat the competition was 4 p.m., where Channel 4 averaged a 2.8 to Channel 2's 2.4.
At 10 p.m., KSL continues to point to its weak lead-in from NBC, and during February the network's ratings fell off a cliff. Nationally, NBC finished fifth, trailing CBS, Fox, ABC and Spanish-language network Univision. Locally, NBC's prime-time fell 37 percent from February 2012; KSL's 10 p.m. newscast improved on that lead-in by an average of 150 percent and as much as 1,000 percent on some nights.
"KSL's percentage of growth from the lead-in audience is one of the highest in the country for NBC affiliates," said Tanya Vea, KSL's executive vice president of news and cross-platform development. "That's a great achievement for us, but I realize we will have to continue to increase that growth to regain our No. 1 position."
NBC wasn't the only network to lose viewers, however. Locally, Fox's prime-time was also down 37 percent year to year; CBS was down 18 percent; and ABC was down 11 percent.
There were lower viewing levels across the board, which flies in the face of conventional wisdom that when the weather is bad, TV viewing increases.
In February, KUTV's shares the percentage of local households actually watching TV at a given time held steady or increased. But ratings (the percentage of households in the market) declined in several time slots, including mornings and early evenings as did the ratings of a large majority of the other three stations' newscasts.
"We've called Nielsen and they're looking into that," Crawford said.
All of this matters because local stations set their advertising rates based on the numbers from the sweeps periods. A single rating point in the advertiser-friendly demos (18-49, 25-54) is worth almost $1.5 million per year to a station.
"Revenue follows ratings," Crawford said.
Local late-TV news ratings: February 2013
In the Monday-Friday late-news ratings, KUTV-Channel 2 averaged approximately 112,800 homes. KSL-Channel 5 (53,200) edged KSTU-Channel 13 (52,300) for third place. KTVX-Channel 4 averaged 30,300.
