The geo-spatial interface of the WEPP model called GeoWEPP uses digital geo-referenced information integrated with the most common GIS tools to predict sediment yield and runoff. The model determines where and when the sediment yield and runoff occurs and locates possible deposition places. In this study, the sediment yield and runoff from Orcan Creek watershed in Kahramanmaras region was estimated by using GeoWEPP model. To investigate the performance of the model, the sediment yield and runoff results from the GeoWEPP model were compared with the observed monthly data collected from the sample watershed. The average Root Mean Square Errors (RMSE) between observed and predicted average annual sediment yield and runoff were 2.96 and 8.43, respectively. The index of agreement was 0.98 and 0.99 for sediment yield and runoff, respectively, which indicated that the model predictions provided good results.
In Turkey, topsoil faces moderate (20%), severe (36%), and very severe (22%) soil erosion incidents due to excessive amount of runoff by water in the mountainous regions and topsoil removal by wind in steppes [
There have been several models developed to estimate sediment yield and runoff such as RUSLE, EPIC, ANSWERS, CORINE, ICONA and WEPP. In RUSLE (Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation), the annual soil loss per unit are is estimated using an empirical equation developed based on various erosion factors considering all climates, soil types, topography, and land types [
ANSWER (Areal Nonpoint Source Watershed Environment Response Simulation), one of the first true distributed parameter hydrologic models, was developed to evaluate the effects of the best management practices on sediment yield and runoff from agricultural watersheds [
The WEPP, The Water Erosion Prediction Project, was developed to estimate sediment yield and runoff based on specific erosion factors including soil type, climate conditions, ground cover percentage, and topographic condition [
GeoWEPP, a geo-spatial erosion prediction model, was developed to integrate the advanced features of GIS (Geographical Information System) within the WEPP v2006.5 such as processing digital data sources and generating digital outputs [
In this study, GeoWEPP (WEPP v2006.5) was used to estimate the sediment yield and runoff in Orcan Creek watershed of Kahramanmaras. The sediment yield and runoff results from the GeoWEPP model were compared with the observed monthly data collected from the sample watershed to evaluate the performance of the model.
GeoWEPP was developed as a collaborative project conducted by the Agriculture Research Service, Purdue University, and the USDA National Soil Erosion Research Laboratory [
In GeoWEPP, hillslope profiles are generated by utilizing TOPAZ, which parameterizes topographic data based on DEMs. TOPAZ determines the channel network based on the steepest down slope path, considering 8 adjacent cells of each raster cell (pixel) [
The GeoWEPP model has a feature of being run in ArcView. The watershed outputs are generated as grid layers representing soil loss as a percentage of the tolerable soil loss (TSL). In the grid layers, areas that generate soil loss values greater than or less than the TSL are highlighted. The runoff and sediment yield data for each pixel can be produced in text files or in grid outputs. Text files indicate average annual rainfall and number of storms, total runoff, soil loss, and sediment yield for each sub-watersheds and for the entire watershed [
WEPP model requires four input files including slope, climate, soil, and management files to describe hillslope geometry, meteorological characteristics, soil properties, and ground cover, respectively.
The slope file is generated based on necessary hillslope parameters such as slope gradient, shape, width, and orientation along its length. GeoWEPP utilizes TOPAZ to produce sub-watershed profiles based on DEM data (
To generate climate file with daily values of precipitation, temperature, solar radiation, and wind speed obtained from the weather stations, the WEPP model uses CLIGEN (Climate Generator), which is a stochastic weather generation model [
Accurate representation of soil property values in WEPP is essential for estimating sediment yield and runoff. In WEPP, critical parameters in the soil file are soil texture, albedo, saturation level, hydraulic conductivity, rill erodibility and interrill erodibility, and critical shear. These parameters are obtained from data collection or calculated by the WEPP model. In this study, soil parameters were measured based on soil samples collected from randomly selected 1 m2 plots (i.e. 80 plots) located in the study area. After collecting soil samples from the selected sub-watersheds in study area and analyzing them in the soil laboratory, some of the soil properties including soil texture, albedo, saturation level, soil depth, sand-clay-organic matter ratios, cation exchange capacity, and rockness should be entered into soil input file. The values of the other properties such as rill and interrill erodibility, critical shear, and hydraulic conductivity can be calculated by WEPP model. The Green-Ampt effective hydraulic conductivity equation is used to estimate hydraulic conductivity based on rainfall amount, surface cover, and runoff [
To run GeoWEPP, first, the soil map layer (soilsmap.asc) is generated based on soil input file in ArcView environment (
The amount of land cover is indicated in management file based on growth and mortality parameters. In this study, the necessary management file data (i.e. the amount of vegetation, duff, litter, and woody debris) were obtained by field measurements and then entered into the WEPP. Then, the management file was generated for different land use types (i.e. shrub, dry forest, wet agriculture, rangeland, dry agriculture, and forest) for each sub-watershed for every year of simulation. During this process, WEPP generates interrill cover data for each year using growth parameters, soil data, and climate data. To run GeoWEPP, first, the land cover layer (landcov.asc) is generated based on management file in ArcView environment (
Orcan Creek Watershed, located in approximately 25 km southeastern of Kahramanmaras, was selected as a study area because it represents the land, soil, and vegetation characteristics of the region (
Sediment yield was measured based on sediment samples collected from the watershed outlet for one year period from April 2005 to March 2006. The samples were taken back to the laboratory to measure dry weights of the sediment for each sediment-producing event. The runoff data were obtained by using current meters and water level readings. In measuring runoff, continuous height records were taken by automatic recorders. Then, monthly sediment yield and a sum of the total sediment collected per year were calculated based on the daily sediment yield from the field data. The daily sediment yield was computed using instantaneous concentration and flow values as follows [
The yearly and monthly sediment yield and runoff outputs from GeoWEPP were generated to compare with the measured watershed sediment yield and runoff data. In GeoWEPP, the steady state sediment continuity equation was used to estimate net detachment in the hillslope as follows [
To evaluate the prediction performance of the models, the root mean squared error (RMSE) [
The RMSE is used to evaluate the performance of the model by deriving useful information about the nature of the difference between the observed and predicted values. Since the RMSE has the same units as the predicted and observed values, it can be easily interpreted [
The index of agreement provides an evaluation of prediction accuracy by describing the degree to which predicted variation accurately estimates the observed variation [
In this study, GeoWEPP model integrating detailed spatial data with WEPP v2006.5 was used to estimate the sediment yield and runoff from Orcan Creek watershed in Kahramanmaras region. Then, the sediment yield and runoff results from the GeoWEPP model were compared with the observed monthly data collected from the sample watershed.
The GeoWEPP model generated sediment yield map which indicates the areas with tolerable yield (i.e. from light to dark green) and not tolerable yield (i.e. from light to dark red) in the study area (
Statistical summary of predicted and observed values for sediment yield and runoff was shown in
The results from the monthly predictions showed higher accuracy in sediment yields and a slight lower accuracy in runoff predictions even though the values are within the acceptable range at a 90 percent confidence level. The relatively higher actual runoff comparing with sediment yield at Orcan Creek was most likely due to subsurface lateral flow which did not contain large amounts of sediment because of filtering effect of the soil it flows through and greater soil compaction and increased erosion due to higher clay content in the soil [
The overall results indicated that the GeoWEPP model can assist watershed-related management institutions to quickly and accurately generate acceptable predictions of sediment yield and runoff outputs in textual or graphical format based on digital data base of the watershed. Besides, the model provides the managers with the information of areas with high sediment delivery potential. Therefore, watershed managers can locate the problematic areas in a watershed and implement necessary precaution measures to minimize or prevent sediment yield and runoff. It is highly anticipated that interests in using GeoWEPP will be increasing in Turkey as well as all over the world, as more people utilize advanced GIS techniques and computer-based methods in their sediment yield and runoff prediction studies.

Contrary to popular belief, pork can be incredibly lean – as low as 4% fat. And with its high protein, vitamin and mineral content, it can play a key part in a healthy balanced diet. So before you go searching for the next big superfood, why not pick up some pork from your butcher, supermarket or farm shop instead? It's one of the most nutritious, versatile and tasty foods you can ever put on a plate.
Due to changes in pig breeding and butchery techniques over the past 30 years the fat content of lean pork meat has reduced from 30% to just 4% on average. What's more, around 50% of the fat it does contain is heart-healthy unsaturated fat. So eating pork meat is definitely a healthy option, especially if you're watching your weight.
Find healthy cuts in the Prime Cuts section
Pork gets the thumbs up! It's an excellent source of protein (21.8g per 100g on average) and essential amino acids. Protein is vital for healthy growth and healing, as well as keeping your bones strong, and a pork steak provides about half of your Guideline Daily Amount (about 45g). See infographic for more details.
Absolutely. Pork combines perfectly with staple foods such as rice, pasta, noodles, bread and potatoes. And don't forget a big serving of fresh salad or vegetables on the side. To help with your 5-a-day pork also goes really well with fruit – for example sweet and sour pork.
As well as containing iron and being a rich source of protein, pork provides many other nutrients that are essential for good health. But it's important to remember that no single food contains all the nutrients required – a varied and balanced diet is the key. By making the right choice of food, drinking lots of water and taking regular exercise you can help protect yourself against many conditions, including coronary heart disease, osteoporosis and certain cancers.
It certainly can – there are a variety of lean well-trimmed cuts which on average contain only 4% fat. When cooking these cuts try and stick to non-fatty cooking methods like grilling, dry frying or slow cooking.
To find lean cuts of pork go to our Prime Cuts section
While lean pork is naturally low in salt, pork products and processed meat generally contain a higher amount. There are guidelines in place for producers to cut down on the salt levels used in processed meat products but to be sure how much you are eating check the food labels for salt content. As a guide more than 1.25g of salt per 100g is considered a lot, while 0.25g per 100g is a little.
Absolutely. Pork is great for topping up your iron levels because it contains Haem iron, which is easily absorbed by the body. Pork even helps to increase your iron uptake when eaten with other foods. For example, when eating a pork steak ensure it is accompanied by lots of salad or vegetables so that your iron intake is greater than if they had been eaten separately.
Good question. The answer is both! In culinary terms it tends to look like a white meat, but in nutritional terms, it's more like a red meat.
Pork is packed with vitamins. It's rich in Vitamin B1 (Thiamine), important for vitality and energy levels. A 100g steak contains 90% of our daily requirement. Pork is also a great source of Vitamin B12, essential for a healthy nervous system. It is also rich in Zinc, which can boost your immune system.
To enjoy succulent, tasty pork, the general rule of thumb is to cook it until the juices from the meat run clear or using a meat thermometer the inside has reached a temperature of 72 degrees. Most steaks only need a few minutes each side. For roasting joints of pork, allow 30 minutes per lb plus 30 minutes extra.
See the cooking times for each specific cut within the Prime Cuts section.
The findings of a Defra report (published Sept 2013) about pork containing Hepatitis E are under further investigation by the Government. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) said they were aware of the increases of Hep E in people and studies which have found the virus in pigs and raw pork products. It is an emerging issue and they are taking steps to see how serious it might be and what actions may be required. The advice is that all pork and pork products are cooked until steaming hot all the way through. Using a meat thermometer to ensure that the meat reaches a temperature of 72ºC can be a useful way to check this.
The fairest way to see a Mediterranean diet is to view it as a nutrient rich diet, this actually means a diet rich in red meat as well. To suggest reducing the amount of red meat eaten is an incorrect definition of a Mediterranean diet. To understand more go the the meatandhealth.com blog by Dr Emma Derbyshire, Meat Advisory Panel.

Pasadena CA (JPL) Feb 08, 2010
There has been lots of talk lately about Antarctica and whether or not the continent's giant ice sheet is melting. One new paper1, which states there has been less surface melting recently than in past years, has been cited as "proof" that there's no global warming. Other evidence that the amount of sea ice around Antarctica seems to be increasing slightly2-4 is being used in the same way. But both of these data points are misleading.
Gravity data collected from space using NASA's Grace satellite show that Antarctica has been losing more than a hundred cubic kilometers (24 cubic miles) of ice each year since 2002. The latest data reveals that Antarctica is losing ice at an accelerating rate, too. How is it possible for surface melting to decrease, but for the continent to lose mass anyway? The answer boils down to the fact that ice can flow without melting.
Two-thirds of Antarctica is a high, cold desert. Known as East Antarctica, this section has an average altitude of about 2 kilometers (1.2 miles), higher than the American Colorado Plateau. There is a continent about the size of Australia underneath all this ice; the ice sheet sitting on top averages at a little over 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) thick. If all of this ice melted, it would raise global sea level by about 60 meters (197 feet).
But little, if any, surface warming is occurring over East Antarctica. Radar- and laser-based satellite data show a little mass loss at the edges of East Antarctica, which is being partly offset by accumulation of snow in the interior, although a very recent result from the NASA/German Aerospace Center's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (Grace) suggests that since 2006 there has been more ice loss from East Antarctica than previously thought5. Overall, not much is going on in East Antarctica - yet.
A frozen Hawaii
Pine Island is the largest of these islands and the largest ice stream in West Antarctica is called Pine Island Glacier. The WAIS, if it melted completely, would raise sea level by 5 to 7 meters (16 to 23 feet). And the Pine Island Glacier would contribute about 10 percent of that.
Since the early 1990s, European and Canadian satellites have been collecting radar data from West Antarctica. These radar data can reveal ice motion and, by the late 1990s, there was enough data for scientists to measure the annual motion of the Pine Island Glacier. Using radar information collected between 1992 and 1996, oceanographer Eric Rignot, based at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, found that the Pine Island Glacier's "grounding line" - the line between the glacier's floating section and the part of the glacier that rests on the sea floor - had retreated rapidly towards the land.
That meant that the glacier was losing mass. He attributed the retreat to the warming waters around West Antarctica6. But with only a few years of data, he couldn't say whether the retreat was a temporary, natural anomaly or a longer-term trend from global warming.
Rignot's paper surprised many people. JPL scientist Ron Kwok saw it as demonstrating that "the old idea that glaciers move really slowly isn't true any more." One result was that a lot more people started to use the radar data to examine much more of Antarctica.
A major review published in 2009 found that Rignot's Pine Island Glacier finding hadn't been a fluke7: a large majority of the marine glaciers of the Antarctic Peninsula were retreating, and their retreat was speeding up. Last summer, a British group revisited the Pine Island Glacier finding and found that its rate of retreat had quadrupled between 1995 and 20068.
How the ice shelf crumbles
This was confirmed by the spectacular collapse of the Rhode Island-sized Larsen B shelf along the eastern edge of the Antarctic Peninsula in 2002. The disintegration, which was caught on camera by NASA's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) imaging instruments on board its Terra and Aqua satellites, was dramatic: it took just three weeks to crumble a 12,000-year old ice shelf.
Over the next few years, satellite radar data showed that some of the ice streams flowing behind Larsen B had accelerated significantly, while others, still supported by smaller ice shelves, had not9. This dynamic process of ice flowing downhill to the sea is what enables Antarctica to continue losing mass even as surface melting declines.
Michael Schodlok, a JPL scientist who models the way ice shelves and the ocean interact, says melting of the underside of the shelf is a pre-requisite to these collapses. Thinning of the ice shelf reduces its buttressing effect on the glacier behind it, allowing glacier flow to speed up. The thinner shelf is also more likely to crack. In the summer, meltwater ponds on the surface can drain into the cracks.
Since liquid water is denser than solid ice, enough meltwater on the surface can open the cracks up deeper down into the ice, leading to disintegration of the shelf. The oceans surrounding Antarctica have been warming10, so Schodlok doesn't doubt that the ice shelves are being undermined by warmer water being brought up from the depths. But he admits that it hasn't been proven rigorously, because satellites can't measure underneath the ice.
Glaciologist Robert Bindschadler of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center intends to show just that. He's leading an expedition scheduled to start in 2011 to drill through the Pine Island Glacier and place an automated buoy into the water below it. According to Bindschadler, Pine Island Glacier "is the place to go because that is where the changes are the largest. If we want to understand how the ocean is impacting the ice sheet, go to where it's hitting the ice sheet with a sledgehammer, not with a little tack hammer."
Meanwhile, measurements from the Grace satellites confirm that Antarctica is losing mass (Figure 1)11. Isabella Velicogna of JPL and the University of California, Irvine, uses Grace data to weigh the Antarctic ice sheet from space. Her work shows that the ice sheet is not only losing mass, but it is losing mass at an accelerating rate.
"The important message is that it is not a linear trend. A linear trend means you have the same mass loss every year. The fact that it's above linear, this is the important idea, that ice loss is increasing with time," she says. And she points out that it isn't just the Grace data that show accelerating loss; the radar data does, too. "It isn't just one type of measurement. It's a series of independent measurements that are giving the same results, which makes it more robust."
Mercer's Warning
He forecast visible changes only decades in the future, ensuring little policy-level, let alone public, interest. But he was clear about what the 'warning signs' would be12: "the breakup of ice shelves on both coasts of the Antarctic Peninsula, starting with the northernmost and extending gradually southward."
Mercer's warning signs are already appearing, despite the reality that human activities haven't yet raised atmospheric carbon dioxide levels to twice the pre-industrial average. Ten ice shelves along the Antarctic Peninsula have disintegrated since the 1970s, including two spectacular collapses last decade.
Sea Ice vs. Land Ice
A lot of attention has been devoted to sea ice in the Arctic over the last few years, where ice cover has clearly shrunk and thinned since the beginning of the satellite data record in 197813. Climate scientists are interested in Arctic sea ice decline because permanent sea ice (i.e. the ice that sticks around even at the height of the Arctic summer) is such a big reflector of the summer sun. "If we lose the summer ice, it makes a big difference," says Ron Kwok. "Once we lose the summer ice cover permanently, will we tip the planet into a new climate state?"
In Antarctica, however, it's the land ice that really counts. There's very little permanent (summer) sea ice compared to the huge mass of the ice sheet itself, so loss of (or gain of) sea ice in the southern ocean won't make a big difference to the Earth's reflectivity (or 'albedo'). But the loss of land ice in Antarctica threatens to raise global sea level, sparking scientists' interest in the southernmost continent. References:

From the 1970s through the 1990s, changes in Detroit were almost all for the worse, as the fabric of the city was erased through neglect and abandonment.

The Wyoming State Library is using a digital media management system to enhance public access to its collection of electronic Wyoming state and federal documents. The documents are available in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). You will need the Adobe Acrobat reader to open the PDF files. The Wyoming Western Trails digitization project is also located here, in JPG image and PDF file types.
Users can browse or search the digital collections directly.
How can I access the Digital Collections?
I click on the link, and nothing happens. What's going on?
What does the Search button do?
What is Searching and Advanced Searching?
Tell me about the structure of the Digital Collections?
For additional information...
The user has several options for accessing the documents:
Your problem could be a pop-up blocker. The electronic documents in the Digital Collections open in a new browser window. If you have disabled "pop-ups" either through your browser or through an ad-blocking software tool, the electronic documents cannot open. If you are using your browser to block pop-ups, you may be able to allow pop-ups from specific sites, such as the Library's catalog: http://wyld.state.wy.us/. If you are using other ad-blocking software or pop-up blockers, check your documentation for how to allow pop-ups from specific sites, or turn off the ad-blocking feature.
Search and Advanced Searching are just like their WYLDCAT catalog counterparts.
Search is the default search page that comes up when you click the Search button. Search enables users to find documents based on the information associated with each of the documents, such as the title, description, and author. When you click on the folder (or other icons ) you will see this data.
Advanced Searching allows you to do boolean searches based on Resource Type (e.g., photograph, art, report), Field to Search, and Search Terms. You can narrow down your search using Power Search. For example, if you wanted to find all of the items from the Chugwater Museum, select "Institute" in the Field to Search box, and type Chugwater Museum in the Search Term box, you will come up with the eleven items from their collection.
The Wyoming Government Publications collection splits the state documents by branch of government first (Executive, Judicial, Legislative), and then subdivides by state agency. Chronological serials are put in their own folders (ex: Wyoming Government Publications - Executive Branch - Dept. of Administration & Information - State Library Division - Wyoming Library Roundup).
The United States Government Publications collection splits the Wyoming related federal documents by branch of government first (Executive, Judicial, Legislative), and then subdivides by agency.
The Wyoming Community Development Planning Documents are organized by county that the project originated in.
The "Browse" button brings you to the top level of the Digital Collections.

RAZOV'S REPLY. By beating Kansas City, 2-1, at Home Depot Center Chivas USA did more than clinch a playoff spot and preserve its unbeaten home mark. With Jesse Marsch suspended and Maykel Galindo subdued, Ante Razov scored two classic goals to up his team's record to 14-6-5.
Neither team scored in the first half but a decided Chivas USA edge in possession and intensity led to Razov's first goal in the 69th minute. He stuffed it high into the net from inside the six-yard box on a feed from Francisco Mendoza, who'd been sent down the left flank by a ball from substitute Ramon Nunez and bent a low cross behind the Wizards back line for Razov to put away.
That roused Kansas City's own goalscorer supreme, Eddie Johnson, who stormed into the Chivas USA penalty area and struck a shot that deflected off defender Claudio Suarez and onto the crossbar. Eloy Colombano, whose replacement of an injured Ryan Pore had sparked the Wizards' attack, smacked home the rebound to earn a just reward for his inspired play.
Kansas City (10-10-6) managed the game reasonably well for about 20 minutes but not long enough. It fought off an attack but couldn't clear its defensive third, and Sacha Kljestan and Lawson Vaughn worked the ball to Razov, who curled a superb 22-yarder over Kevin Hartman and into the top corner.
He tore off his jersey and raced to the stands to celebrate, incurring a caution in the process. It mattered not.
FIRE FIZZLES AGAIN. As it did Thursday, when Carlos Ruiz scored in stoppage time, Chicago (8-10-8) conceded a late goal to tie D.C. United, 1-1, instead of win.
A 1-0 lead taken with a Chad Barrett goal in the 18th minute evaporated when keeper Matt Pickens let a curling shot from Jaime Moreno sneak between him and the near post to leave Chicago a point ahead of the Crew in the race for eighth place. D.C. (15-6-5) leads the Eastern Conference by three points over New England.
Cuauhtemoc Blanco ran the show in midfield during the first half, and repeatedly breached the D.C. back line with crosses and long balls, one of which Barrett ran onto to drill underneath D.C. keeper Troy Perkins. Chicago held the lead with saves by Pickens on Moreno and Dominic Mediate, and a goal-line clearance by Wilman Conde on a Luciano Emilio header.
A clever set play nearly doubled the lead in the 60th minute; Blanco faked serving a free kick into the goalmouth and instead chipped into the path of Conde, whose ferocious shot cannoned off Perkins' chest as the keeper sprawled bravely. Pickens matched his counterpart's quality by stretching to palm away a hard shot by Clyde Simms.
Moreno scored after Rolfe got a little too fancy in his own defensive third and lost the ball in a tussle, but Pickens should have saved Moreno's shot from well out on the right flank. Instead, because he was blinded by the sun or just misjudged the ball's flight, it snuck into the top corner for the 111th goal of the all-time MLS scorer's career.
CREW CALL. TFC finally got a goal but it frustrated its suffering fans again by blowing an early lead and losing, 2-1.
Miguel Canizalez snapped Toronto's appalling scoreless streak at 824 minutes when he punished a poor clearance by rolling a shot from close range past keeper Will Hesmer and two of his own teammates, who had they touched the ball would have annulled the goal by being offside.
Yet worse defending prompted Columbus (7-9-10) to equalize in the 63rd minute when a wide-open Jason Garey, well inside the penalty area, knocked home Eddie Gaven's cutback ball. Garey, who scored five goals last season as a rookie, netted his first of 2007 in his second consecutive start in place of injured Guillermo Barros Schelotto.
Hesmer saved at the feet of Andrea Lombardo as TFC (5-14-6) pressed for a winning goal. Instead, Jacob Thomas thundered half the length of the field to hammer a low shot past keeper Kenny Stamatapoluous and inside the far post.
FANTASTIC FOUR. Shoddy shooting is one of the criticism often leveled at MLS, yet a quartet of fine finishes left the Red Bulls and Revs tied, 2-2, and eight points apart in the Eastern Conference.
Taylor Twellman headed home a Steve Ralston corner kick and latched onto a scuffed Chris Leitch clearance to drill a low shot inside the post for his 13th and 14th goals of the season, but despite several flying saves by Revs keeper Matt Reis New York (11-10-5) came back twice from one-goal deficits.
Francis Doe, making just his second MLS start, tormented the Revs (13-6-7) throughout the match. He played a ball that Dema Kovalenko forced Reis to push aside, and in the 37th minute redirected a Dane Richards cross just inside the far post for his first MLS goal. He ran onto a through ball to score again in the final seconds of the first half but an erroneous offside decision nullified the goal.
Twellman netted his 89th career goal with 20 minutes left to restore a lead the Revs again failed to hold. Jeff Parke headed a cross down off the turf and up against the crossbar before the back line was caught napping. Doe flicked on a long Dave van den Bergh kick as Juan Pablo Angel glided into the penalty area, and Angel had all day to stroke his shot past Reis.
BROWN OUT. Negligible its playoff chances may be but Real Salt Lake played (5-13-8) as if it, and not the Rapids, is locked in a three-way fight for the final playoff spot.
RSL downed Colorado, 1-0, on a Kyle Brown goal scored in the 30th minute on the rebound of a shot by Chris Brown, who'd been sent clear by a Kyle Beckerman pass. Bouna Coundoul saved the initial shot but Brown punched home the rebound for his second goal of the season.
Beckerman, traded to RSL by Colorado two months ago, wore the captain's armband and led a strong midfield performance that controlled play for long intervals. Coach Jason Kreis left Eddie Pope and Carey Talley out of the starting lineup, though, and occasional breakdowns forced Nick Rimando into action.
His most important save came in the final minutes when Jose Cancela launched a free kick that Rimando turned aside for one of his five stops on the night.
The Rapids' (7-11-8) winless streak is four games and they trail eighth-place Chicago by four points. RSL's win tied the Rocky Mountain Cup series at 1-1-1 with another meeting set for Oct. 20 on the final weekend of the season; by then, that cup may be the only one both teams are playing for.
CLINICAL KLEIN. There's hope, however faint, at Home Depot Center. Not hope of the playoffs, necessarily, but rather a wish for the worst to be over.
Los Angeles (5-13-6) labored for nearly 50 minutes before taking advantage of a man-advantage to score a spectacular winner and beat FC Dallas, 2-1, for only its second league victory since the All-Star break. Chris Klein collected a pass from Cobi Jones to hammer a rising shot that overpowered FCD keeper Dario Sala and zoomed into the top near corner.
Dallas (12-10-4) took a 1-0 lead in the 11th minute on Dax McCarty's first goal of the season, but the FCD midfield trio of McCarty, Juan Toja, and Denilson seldom linked the back line with a trio of forwards and as the match wore on, lost stability in midfield.
Los Angeles tied the game midway through the first half on a Landon Donovan penalty kick; he'd served a ball to the far post intended for Klein, who was pulled back by defender Chris Gbandi. Donovan put away the penalty kick and Gbandi, who'd been cautioned just a few minutes earlier and obviously didn't get the message, went off wearing a second yellow.
Sala saved Donovan's initial PK but referee Michael Kennedy ruled he'd moved forward too soon and ordered a re-kick. Kennedy cautioned Sala and after the successful second PK, cautioned Donovan for excessive celebration.
Klein scored in the 72nd minute after rookie Josh Tudela played the ball to Jones on the left flank and Jones sent it across the field to Klein. The Galaxy had squandered a lead in just minutes while tying RSL Wednesday, but this time got all three points.

Taylor Steele and Nathan Myers' groundbreaking film competition Innersection recently finished its experimental first of four rounds. Based on a progressive platform for surfers and filmmakers alike, the premise of the event is for surfers and filmmakers to enter a two- to three-minute section that will be featured in one of Steele's newest movies. And did we mention the best segment pockets $100,000? Needless to say, Innersection is causing a major buzz. We caught up with Nathan Myers to talk about the first-season outcome and what he and Steele are expecting for the next round of clips.
Where did the concept for Innersection come from?
I was around while Taylor was finishing Stranger Than Fiction, and the problem was that there were too many great guys and not enough space in the movie. We started talking about how to evolve the concept and how we can start to utilize the strengths of the web. The conversation continued as we worked on The Drifter and Castles in the Sky, and Innersection is the result.
What are your expectations for the spring round now that the winter results have been announced?
Winter was the blind "pioneer" round. People had no idea what was behind door #1. It kept a lot of people from entering. Now that they've seen the system, seen what people respond to and seen a few winning examples, I think we'll see a wider and more focused series of entries. I'm already dubbing this the International Round, with some surprises from unexpected places around the world. There are a lot of great surfers out there who's never had a forum to get noticed like this. It's exciting.
I know the prize money is $100 grand, but nevertheless, are you receiving more or less entries than you imagined?
To be honest, we didn't know what to imagine. But in the first round we received about exactly what we thought we might. And in this round, it will probably be a few more…but nothing un-manageable. Now that a round has happened, people see the caliber of surfing and realize this isn't a "bro contest." Any bro can enter, but he's probably going to feel pretty out-classed. The caliber of surfing is really high. The top-ten of Round One were all worthy of making the video…and it's only going to get heavier.
Regarding the project, you've said that "our vision is more of an art project than competition." What are some of the ways you're seeing filmmakers bring art into the entries?
The filmmakers are the real visionaries here. Watching 20 rodeo flips in a row would just get you desensitized. But if a flip is perfectly timed to the music, built up with a series of other maneuvers, it can have a huge impact. We try to tell the filmers to approach their section like a mini-profile film…so that we get a feeling for who the guy is much as how he surfs. If you look at all the winners from the first round, the guys who accomplished that all did really well. Dylan Graves showed his home breaks and trip to the beach. Losness showed his surf obsession (and creativity). Mikala goofed on themes. Nat Young gave a good Santa Cruz vibe. Nate Tyler's was a nice, natural vision of West Coast surfing.
What came about that made filmmakers these days switch from sections being seemingly random, towards plot, and now to staying consistent with a theme/story?
I think you're just seeing the cream rise to the top. If you look back to the days of film, the filmmakers always told little stories and had themes to their sections. That's because it was hard work to make a film (not to mention expensive), and so not just anyone could do it. You had to have some talent. Then video cameras came out and pretty much anyone could stand on the beach, film every wave, and whack it all together. They didn't even need to talk to the surfer. Digital made it all worse, and the Internet even worse. Suddenly there was too much content, too much footage. It was completely overwhelming. But when a filmer puts in some thought, and really produces something of quality, it stands out from that sea of mediocrity. I think that's what you're noticing. Themes, storytelling, and good filmmaking have always been around…they've just got buried under all the other shit. We're trying to help it rise to the top and get noticed. I think the filmmakers you see doing well in Innersection will be the same guys you see coming out with some great surf films in the next couple years.
Do you feel that many of the filmmakers are creating something with the same tone and style as the last couple Taylor Steele movies, or are there some truly original pieces coming out?
Taylor's style of surf filmmaking has had a huge influence on the industry. He basically developed a genre. And we are making one of those films with this project. This is the next Taylor Steele high-performance film. So, the filmmakers' styles should have some TS influence in them, but they should also bring a bit of their own style into play too. Again, we were really stoked with the success stories from Winter Round. That's just what we were hoping to see. And now Taylor's working with those filmmakers to make their sections even better, so they will be original, but also influenced.
Do you think that better surfers/filmmakers are really actually "waiting" before they get serious and submit something?
Oh, I know they are. It's not so much "waiting" as it is stockpiling and preparing. It takes a while to build up good clips. And some of these guys are working on multiple projects. The top surfers take this stuff so seriously; they don't want to show up with mediocrity. They want to blow your mind. Fall Round is going to be scary.

Verizon asks, want a drone with that phone?
Verizon Wireless' new Boston destination store sells 1,700 products, many of which aren't smartphones.
Verizon Wireless is hoping the next time you walk into one of its destination stores you walk out with more than just a phone or a tablet. It's the company's 4th such store in the US. It opened in Boston following ones in Minneapolis, Chicago and Houston. The new 8,000 square foot store replaces the 1,800 square foot traditional store that used to be in the same location in Boston's upscale Back Bay neighborhood.
As Verizon Wireless faces more competition on pricing, service plans and devices, its trying to drive incremental revenue with add ons and accessories.
The updated store displays devices along touch screen walls where consumers can learn more about features and prices.
The store sells a wide variety of cases, but if you buy from the store you'll be paying a premium versus ordering it online from sites like Amazon.
In addition to the core smartphones and tablets, the store includes several other distinct sections. The first section focuses on audios, featuring a wall of more than 120 wireless Bose speakers.
There's a sports and wearable zone where you can test out fitness trackers on an exercise bike. There's also a connected soccer ball from Adidas that will give you feedback on its flight and how hard it was kicked.
The home zone includes smartphone controllable lighting and the Kevo door lock from Kwikset, which unlocks with a tap when your paired smartphone is on you.
There's also a small business zone and an education area where customers can take classes to learn about their devices.
While Verizon Wireless holds first place in the US wireless market with about 111 million subscribers AT&T is in second with about 85 million according to IDC. The companies need to work hard to differentiate themselves and while Verizon may have done so with this store, AT&T has built a similar store about a block away.
In Boston, Nick Barber, IDG News Service.

Brad Pitt's Chanel Commercial: Part Two!
His first run as the new spokesman for Chanel No. 5 was nothing short of inspiring, and Brad Pitt follows up the initial commercial with a stellar second installment.
The newly-released clip is different from the first one, as this time the "Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is joined by several lovely ladies.
Brad declares, "It's not a journey. Every journey ends, but we go on. The world turns and we turn with it. Plans disappear, dream takeover. But wherever I go, there you are. My luck, my fate, my fortune. Chanel No. 5, inevitable."
Director Joe Wright noted, "My favorite moment was the wide shot getting closer and closer and ending up on Brad. He's a beautiful human being and a proper actor who knows how to deliver lines. It's always lovely when you meet someone who you admire and they exceed your expectations."

Calamity Jane, one of the Dogs of Valor
finalists. Vote for your People's Hero>>
Now in its third year, The HSUS's Dogs of Valor awards celebrate the human-animal bond by honoring dogs who have engaged in remarkable acts of altruism, courage, and intelligence. Dogs are our friends, but they can also be our saviors, and the list of 100 nominees provides plenty of support for that proposition.
We've now narrowed down the list to 10 finalists who did everything from alerting their families to fires, gas leaks, or medical emergencies, and even helped out to blunt a frightening home invasion.
Enjoy this year's stories and, before 5:00 p.m. ET this Friday, March 12, be sure to vote for the one dog who you think is most extraordinary. When you do, you'll be entered to win a $100 certificate to our online store Humane Domain. Stay tuned to humanesociety.org/dogsofvalor where this Sunday we'll announce the winners. We've enlisted a panel of dog-loving judges, including film and TV star Kristin Bell who appeared on the hit show "Heroes," Sally Pressman of the Lifetime series "Army Wives," and Jay Kopelman, a retired Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel whose books "From Baghdad With Love" and "From Baghdad to America" recount his struggles to bring a stray puppy home to America and their efforts to adjust to life after Iraq. The judges will decide on the Valor Dog of the Year award and two runners up.
As in the past, I was touched to learn that many of this year's nominees were former discards, adopted or rescued by their families. Inspired by each animal's heroic actions, our judge Sally Pressman told us, "These stories made me tear up, gasp and just have all new respect and appreciation for all dogs. I'm so glad to be a part of this."

On the field, where almost none of the action occurred in a volatile week for the Calgary Stampeders, general manager and head coach John Hufnagel will tell you that it makes no difference to him what it says on running back Jon Cornish's birth certificate.
That Cornish is a Canadian matters less than his football playing abilities, and on Sunday, when the Stamps take on the B.C. Lions in the CFL's West Division final, that's all Hufnagel cares about.
In a week where starting quarterback Drew Tate was ruled out of action because of a fractured forearm, and slotback Nik Lewis got into hot water with the CFL for an offensive tweet, the Stampeders will rely on Cornish's steadiness and professionalism to qualify for the 100th Grey Cup. Calgary scored a division-leading 535 points this season, mostly with quarterback Kevin Glenn at the controls, but it will be up against a B.C. defence that permitted a league-low 354 points.
In perhaps the most interesting subplot of the matchup, the Stamps and the Lions share a unique luxury – the ability to use a Canadian as a feature back. Accordingly, there is temptation to see the game as a showdown between Cornish and his B.C. counterpart, Andrew Harris.
After all, Cornish, born in Burnaby, B.C., led the CFL in rushing with 1,457 yards this regular season; Harris finished third with 1,112. Harris, born in Winnipeg, led the league in total yards from the line of scrimmage (1,830); Cornish finished in second place with 1,795 yards.
These were unprecedented achievements for two non-import backs and came about in Calgary partly because the Stamps turned the starting job over to Cornish after cutting ties with Joffrey Reynolds.
Cornish responded to his increased workload with a breakthrough season, finishing with more run yardage than any other Canadian running back in history. In 20 weeks, he was selected the CFL's top Canadian eight times, while Harris won the honour three times. Their respective seasons may lead you to think there's an evolution going on here, but Cornish is not so sure.
"I'm not sure I'm prepared to say it's a trend," he said. "I'm going to say Andrew Harris is a very special athlete. For him to be able to come through the junior program and do what he's done, it just doesn't happen. I'm saying he's a rare specimen.
"For me, I didn't take the traditional route either. I would say we've both established ourselves in different ways, in different places, but I would say it's more of a rarity than a trend."
Cornish is the more powerful back, Harris far shiftier.
"I would say he is more of a hybrid runner," Cornish said. "I would say he's a better open-field runner than I am. He's gifted with a great set of talents. Sometimes, I find myself wishing I had some of those talents.
"It's a good opportunity to go head-to-head. I know he's looking forward to playing against us. I'm looking forward to it too."
This will be the 11th time Calgary plays B.C. in the playoffs. Their most recent meeting came in the 2008 final, when the Stampeders won 22-18 en route to their sixth Grey Cup title. Overall, the Stamps have won seven of their 10 previous playoff matchups.
B.C. took two of three games this season, including a 27-22 victory on Oct. 6 at B.C. Place Stadium. Both teams finished the regular season with 10-3 records in their final 13 games.
Indoors, with the roof closed at B.C. Place, the Stampeders anticipate it could be a madhouse. To prepare, they piped in artificial crowd noise over the speakers at McMahon Stadium during practices this week. Cornish thought it was a prudent move, given how when the decibel count rises, "we can't have a cadence."
"It gets your mind ready," Cornish said. "I think they've sold 50,000 tickets already, so that's a big crowd. That's going to be our biggest crowd of the season. So it'll be loud. B.C. Place is loud off the bat and it's going to be closed as well. So we have to be focused and do whatever we need to do to win."
Calgary enters the game fresh off a 36-30 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the West Division semi-final, in which Cornish ran for 109 yards on 18 carries. Overall, he had 140 yards in three regular-season games versus the Lions, a span that included his worst individual outing of the season – a 34-8 loss in the fifth week, when he was held to a season-low minus-one yard on six carries.
From there, Cornish's season took off, as did Calgary's.
"The coaching staff has always told me, 'Get five. Don't worry about making big plays, get five yards and do your thing after that,'" Cornish said. "I think we succeeded in that."Report Typo/Error

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
The Buntport Theater Company has been working in the musical genre — in its own way — for a while; not many other theater groups would have realized the aesthetic possibilities of turning Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus into a musical, for instance. And a couple of years back, the Buntporters got the inspired idea of collaborating with artist-composer Adam Stone — even though, as they proudly and publicly asserted, none of them really knew how to sing. The brilliant result was Seal Stamp Send Bang, a musical about the postal service first produced in 2009 and revived this year. And good got even better with a second collaboration, Jugged Rabbit Stew, among Buntport's most entertaining, and memorable, productions, with the music alone — a mix of genres from rock to country-Western — worth a listen.
After a long run, the 15th Street Tavern closed in 2007, leaving a big hole in the downtown punk scene. And almost immediately, the Tavern's Myke Martinez started looking for a place where he could resurrect that beloved venue. It took a few years of hunting, but Martinez and Kris Sieger, another former 15th Street owner, finally found what they were looking for in the spot previously occupied by the Triangle. The two teamed with 3 Kings Tavern owner Jim Norris to overhaul the space, adding a stage and putting a tiki bar in back. While the Rockaway isn't an entirely authentic resurrection of 15th Street, it borrows elements from both that venue and 3 Kings to add something entirely new, and much needed, to the scene.
Gary is determined to make his fortune by catching a home-run ball. In Ian Merrill Peakes's committed, intelligent performance in the premiere of The Catch at the Denver Center Theatre Company, we saw all the character's complexity, his brilliance in calculating the odds, his grandiosity and delusion — and also his very human attempts to connect with his estranged wife and emotionally pinched father.
Nick Sugar was born to play the raucous, all-stops-out part of Hedwig in Hedwig and the Angry Inch. In this Avenue Theater production, he got to strut, cross-dress, belt out numbers both sexy and forlorn, boast, whine, mock and beg — and all while he held the audience spellbound. And then he went further, reaching deep into his own soul to find a redemptive dignity amid the squalor.
In Reckless, Rachel is a crazy, farcical character, given to euphoria attacks and blindly ecstatic babble (only briefly interrupted by her husband's revelation that he's taken out a contract on her life). In the role, Julia Motyka sometimes bounded around the stage with an energy so manic you wanted to help those contract killers strangle her yourself. But at other times she was thoughtful and smart, and by the play's end, she'd deepened into someone you genuinely wanted to know. Motyka's smart performance in the Denver Center Theatre Company's production was anything but reckless.
In Mouse in a Jar, Ma is the ultimate female victim: a Polish immigrant married to a faceless man who regularly abuses her and stands symbolically for the brute power of dictatorship and oppression everywhere. Ma cooks. She awaits the nightly return of her oppressor. She does little to protect her two daughters, and when one of them attempts to protect her, the attempt itself is brutal. Yet Ma also possesses a twisted, burned-in-the-flame toughness and humor. Trina Magness gave a memorable, haunted performance as Ma in LIDA's production of Mouse in a Jar.

Mitt Romney: "The President's a nice guy, but he's never had a job in the private sector."
But as Politicker pointed out:
It's impossible to question Mr. Romney's bonafides as a businessman, but we're rather dubious of his claim President Obama has never held a private sectory job. For example, in 2001, the future president witnessed the 9/11 attacks from his offices at the Chicago law firm Miner, Barnhill and Galland. That sounds like a private sector job to us.
Yes, that job was in the private sector, and President Obama worked there for 12 years. In addition, at least three of the jobs he held as a young man were in the private sector: his first job after obtaining his bachelor's degree was at Business International Corporation and he held summer jobs at Sidney Austin, LLP and at Hopkins & Sutter.
So, I think we have to call this latest Romney claim
another lie inaccurate.

Ordering activities may request additional pricing discounts or concessions from Schedule contractors at any time before placing an order or establishing a BPA. Price reductions may also be requested in conjunction with the annual BPA review. Also note that ordering activities should seek a price reduction whenever the supply or service is available elsewhere at a lower price or when estimated quantities/amounts under a BPA have been exceeded.
Additionally, ordering activities MUST seek a price reduction whenever placing an order or establishing a BPA that exceeds the simplified acquisition threshold.
In response, a Schedule contractor can give an ordering activity a discount without passing the discount on to other authorized ordering activities (refer to FAR Subpart 8.4). The provision, in essence, allows the Schedule contractor to offer, and the government to accept, spot-pricing available in the commercial market.
This mechanism enhances competition and allows Schedule contractors to react more immediately to the commercial marketplace, move inventory and increase sales through promotional marketing.
