A groundbreaking study that traces Arctic temperatures further back than ever before has shown the region is now warmer than at any time in the past 2,000 years.
The international study, published Thursday in the journal Science, also provides real-world evidence to back mathematical climate models that suggest greenhouse gases are behind global warming.
"There are no other forcing factors at work other than the greenhouse gas composition of the atmosphere that could explain the dramatic warming that took place," said Darrell Kaufman, the paper's lead author, from Northern Arizona University.
Prof. Kaufman and nearly three dozen scientists used data from tree rings, lake sediments and glacial ice deposits from 23 sites around the circumpolar world to track average summer temperatures for every decade of the past two millennia - 1,600 years longer than had ever been done before.
All three methods are well-accepted ways of estimating weather. The warmer the summer, the thicker a tree ring or layer of organic sediment.
The measurements showed that from Year 1 to about 1900, summer Arctic temperatures were gradually decreasing by about 0.2 C every 1,000 years. That corresponds with other studies that have calculated the result of tiny decreases in the amount of solar energy the North gets as a result of wobbles in the Earth's orbit.
But things began to change at the beginning of the 20th century. Data from all three sources showed a dramatic upward jog that, in a graph, looks like the blade of a hockey stick.
The research suggests that four of the Arctic's five warmest decades occurred after 1950. And the warmest decade was 1999-2008, which saw average temperatures about 1.4 C higher than they would have been if the cooling trend had continued.
"The warming that we detected, particularly during the second half of the 20th century, is especially dramatic considered against the background of the previous nineteen," Prof. Kaufman said.
The study says that the fact no other major variables changed about that time - there were no large volcanic eruptions, for example - suggests there could only be one culprit for the warming Arctic: carbon dioxide emissions that began increasing rapidly during the Industrial Revolution.
"When we consider the 20th century, there are no other forcing factors at work," Prof. Kaufman said.
Just as important was the comparison between Prof. Kaufman's data-based temperatures and those generated by computer climate models. The latter are often used by scientists to predict the effects of global warming and are just as often criticized by skeptics as mere speculation. The correlation between the two suggests the models work, said Prof. Kaufman.
"In my mind, that shows that we have a fundamentally correct understanding of the climate system."
Prof. Kaufman acknowledges that the Earth's climate still holds many mysteries. But he believes the match between his results and those from computer models adds more weight to the scientific consensus that greenhouse gases are the main cause of global warming.
He hopes that's a conclusion leaders meeting in Copenhagen next December to discuss solutions to climate change will take to heart.
"Our study is among many others that have documented the dramatic change in climate that has taken place in the last 50 years," Prof. Kaufman said.
"The evidence that humans play a role in climate change is now overwhelming. It's time for policy makers to act decisively on regulating carbon emissions."Report Typo/Error

Ladies and gentlemen, as yet another year draws to its ineluctable conclusion, folks near and far are preparing to usher in a new one.
I know a few people who have celebrated the New Year by watching the ball drop in Times Square in New York. Now, I'm not talking about watching the ball drop on television – they were actually there in Times Square. If memory serves, a tall reporter who used to write for The Highland County Press and is now an attorney did this a couple of years ago.
The annual event is an old tradition that was first held on Dec. 31, 1907 to welcome in 1908. The ball drop has been held every year since, except in 1942 and 1943 because of wartime lighting restrictions during World War II.
While I tip my hat to all the folks who have made the pilgrimage to Time Square for the New Year's Eve festivities, standing for hours and hours in cold weather isn't exactly on my bucket list.
According to the National Weather Service, the coldest event was in 1917 when it was 1 degree with a wind chill of minus 18 degrees. It's snowed seven times out of 110 ball drops – the most recent being 2009 – and it's also rained multiple times. The average temperature at midnight in New York City from 1907 to 2011 was 33.7 degrees.
Most of us have some sort of New Year's tradition – watching the ball drop on television at home or with friends and family at a party or gathering, fixing a nice meal, putting in a classic or favorite movie, sharing a kiss at midnight.
And as Jan. 1 approaches, I am reminded of another New Year's tradition that dates back much farther than the ball drop in Times Square.
It was an old tradition of my great-great grandparents, James Worth Gossett and Sarah Ann Roberts Gossett.
James Worth Gossett was born in 1847 and his wife, Sarah, was born in 1843. They built a house near Pricetown, the beautiful home on Certier Road across from Fort Salem, raised eight children and lost two more at a young age. Their youngest child, Lavina Gossett Roush, is my great grandmother. She was born in 1887 and passed away in 1978 when I was just 5 years old. Later in life, Lavina recorded herself performing the tradition that the Gossett family did every New Year.
As the story goes, on New Year's Day, Sarah Gossett would step out in front of the family farmhouse and sing her New Year's song, which goes something like this:
Awake, awake my neighbor dear
I wish to you another happy year
The New Year's gnawing at your door
The old one's gone and comes no more
The sausages and puddings, they're right
Just made to sooth the appetite
The powders and the pans and the guns are in her hands
The smoke it shall descend from door to door
And in a moment, it shall roar.
At that point, James Worth Gossett would fire his gun.
Well, that's the story as I remember it told to me. It certainly seems like a good, wholesome tradition, and I'm glad that my great grandma Roush preserved it. I know the Rev. Dr. Floyd Faust (1904-2000), a relative of HCP columnist and Lynchburg-Clay director of athletics Mark Faust, sent a copy of Lavina's recording to my granddad Wesley Roush (1910-2006) many years ago, and I hope there are a few copies still floating around somewhere.
The Gossett family worshiped at the Pricetown Church of Christ, and when they would have family dinners, James Worth Gossett would sit at the end of the table with the family bible, and read from the bible before praying for the meal and the family. They loved to sing, James Worth played a fiddle, and two of the daughters played the piano and the organ.
They'd often start by singing Sarah's favorite hymn, "Amazing Grace."
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Then when we first begun."
Then they'd usually sing James Worth's favorite, "In the Sweet By and By."
To our bountiful Father above,
We will offer our tribute of praise
For the glorious gift of His love
And the blessings that hallow our days.
The Gossett family loved their God and they loved each other.
May we all strive to do the same and always count our many blessings. Happy New Year, everyone.

Stop NARAL From Removing Pregnancy Centers From Internet Directories
Washington, DC -- They say they support choice, but the pro-abortion activists at NARAL want to leave women in unplanned pregnancy situations with one option: abortion. In a letter to its members today, NARAL president Nancy Keenan announced she is asking two Internet directories to remove pregnancy center listings.
(Excerpt) Read more at LifeNews.com ...
No need to excerpt a blog. Just post the whole thing. And now, it makes more sense.
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — They say they support choice, but the pro-abortion activists at NARAL want to leave women in unplanned pregnancy situations with one option: abortion. In a letter to its members today, NARAL president Nancy Keenan announced she is asking two Internet directories to remove pregnancy center listings.
If NARAL is successful, that means millions of people who visit the two prominent directories every year will not see listings for pregnancy centers that provide women with abortion alternatives.
"Today, my team sent our letter with more than 59,000 signatures to YellowPages.com and SuperPages.com asking them to remove misleading CPC ads from their sites," Keenan said this afternoon. "But anti-choice CPCs are still blanketing buses, billboards, and even the airwaves with their falsehoods."
LifeNews.com has contacted but not received a response from representatives of both directories to determine whether they will bend to NARAL's pressure to remove these pro-woman agencies from their listings.
Even if NARAL is successful in censoring information about pregnancy help centers in the directories, they want to go further.
"Now we must take the next step. We need a federal bill to put an end to deceptive CPC ads everywhere," Keenan said, using false claims to support such a bill. "Many CPCs do whatever it takes to block women from choosing abortion. We've heard it all: lies about abortion and condoms, guilt-trips, and harassing follow-up phone calls."
Keenan is promoting the so-called Stop Deceptive Advertising for Women's Services Act, filed by pro-abortion Rep. Carolyn Maloney, a New York Democrat, in the U.S. House. The measure would have the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) fine pregnancy centers for supposedly engaging in false advertising.
"My heart sinks every time I hear about a woman who was forced to hear lies and lectures from a CPC when what she needed was the truth. The Stop Deceptive Advertising for Women's Services Act can protect women seeking real health care from being tricked into going to an anti-choice CPC," Keenan says.
Kristin Hansen, the vide president for communications at Care Net, a national network of more than 1,100 pregnancy centers, talked with LifeNews.com last month about other NARAL attacks on pregnancy centers.
"Abortion advocacy groups like NARAL have been working hard this year to perpetuate the 'boogeyman' idea that the work of pregnancy centers is harming women," she said.
"Every day, theres a new blog post, video, 'undercover report,' or now, heres a flashy quiz to help build an email list and raise money. These scare tactics are riddled with false accusations and are meant to deter women from visiting pregnancy centers for help," she added.
As a response, Care Net released its own REAL Quiz about Pregnancy Centers to counter NARAL's negativity with the truth.
Hansen says most pregnancy center clients appreciate the help and support and the ones speaking out against such centers are typically pro-abortion staffers and volunteers claiming to have been treated poorly.
"If you take a closer look, you see that the negative information about pregnancy centers comes from the same people who are usually a staff person, volunteer, or member of an abortion advocacy group. The complaints do not come from actual clients, who regularly give high approval ratings of the pregnancy center they visited," she said.
The attacks may be backfiring as Care Net is expanding its outreach to new communities.
"Despite these ongoing attacks from NARAL, a growing number of people are getting excited about the compassionate work of pregnancy centers. Care Net sees wonderful doors opening this year as more community leaders are stepping up to open new pregnancy centers in cities where there are few or none," Hansen said.
"Every day, someones heart is touched with the vision of reaching out to women facing unplanned pregnancies with practical help and emotional support. There's no new mean-spirited quiz or negative campaign that can prevent the growth of this positive movement in the hearts of volunteers across America," she concluded.
ACTION: Contact the directors at http://www.yellowpages.com/about/contact-us and http://www.superpages.com/about/feedback.html and tell them to ignore NARAL's request to remove pregnancy center ads.
Evil. Just no other word for the abortionists.
Tagged. Thanks for bumping this.
So why no undercover videos or testimonies of the supposed evil that happens at these crisis centers?
There are plenty of videos showing abortionists lying and allowing the ongoing abuse of teen/pre-teen girls for more profit.

On Sunday..as usual..I go to Hanyang University, Erica Campus @ Ansan to teach some students at Indonesia Open University. Yes..Sunday is supposed to be a free-day for me..but..not really. I got to spend almost the whole day there..from 8 a.m. till 6 p.m.
No complaints...since I enjoy the whole process of being with my students.
And...one more thing: the 2-hour journey back-and-forth at times made me feel numb. Sooo?
I always try to make the best of my time enjoying the scenery whenever the subway ceases to be subway^^ I mean..when the subway emerges out of the underground to give us some relief to feel the grace of nature..like this one.
The under-construction Lotte Tower beyond.
Also..like the Ttukkseom resort that we pass through every week. See? The train passes the bridge over Han River so as to give me a chance to enjoy what's the rest of the city is doing when I am going to Ansan.
Then..on my way back home..I took different route. In this case, I take another chance to see Han River from different angle. This one's taken where the Youido with its skyline was visible from above.
I love taking pictures...and this is when the dusk just set in.
Lights...cars....river....dark blue skies....sort of greeted me in chords.
Welcome back home to Seoul, Suray.
"See you again next week," they say.

DAYTONA BEACH — It's not just race car drivers trading paint at this year's Coke Zero 400.
The Republican Party of Florida filed a complaint Wednesday with the Florida Elections Commission against gubernatorial contender Charlie Crist accusing him of violating campaign-finance laws.
Driver Josh Wise's No. 98 car is sponsored by Crist's campaign, and the car will be covered with ads for the Republican-turned-Democrat. It's set to run in the Sprint Cup race Saturday at Daytona International Speedway.
In an interview with a Tampa newspaper before the complaint was filed, Crist's campaign spokesman indicated no money was spent on the sponsorship, and it was an in-kind donation from a "supporter who is a big NASCAR fan."
Neither Crist's nor Scott's campaigns responded to emails seeking comment Wednesday afternoon.
The car is owned by Mike Curb, a Nashville music entrepreneur, longtime Republican and former lieutenant governor of California. Curb is a major donor to Daytona State College, and the music department is named after him.
A one-race sponsorship of the car costs about $55,000 to $60,000, well above the state's $3,000 limit for a contribution to a statewide candidate, according to the complaint filed by Republican Party of Florida Executive Director Juston Johnson. Crist, a former Florida governor, is trying to reclaim his old job from Republican Gov. Rick Scott in November's election.
This is the fourth complaint the GOP has levied against Crist.

Gardening: Late summer colourPosted on: 13 September 2011 by Maxine Farmer
Maxine Farmer brings tips for adding some end of season colour to your garden.
As I write this, the rain is lashing against the windows, gale force winds are hurling handfuls of leaves on to a sodden sad lawn and I'm clutching a hot water bottle. After the coldest summer for almost two decades, autumn has definitely arrived early and the usual cheery pockets of late summer flowers are looking rather forlorn.
So this September, I've really come to appreciate the huge role that berries and coloured foliage have to play in slowing down the garden's gradual decline into winter dullness.
While most flowers have disintegrated into windblown rotting stumps, the saviours are proving to be trees, shrubs and grasses.
Just outside my office window I can see the beacon of robin red berries on the cotoneaster, often dismissed as a dull shrub for car-parks, but in reality a year-round performer, thanks to its evergreen foliage and tolerance of being pruned within an inch of its life. It is complemented perfectly by the glossy leaves of Mahonia Aquifolium Atropurpurea, which over the next few weeks, will increasingly become tinged with scarlet. Like the cotoneaster, it also responds well harsh pruning so I have squeezed three specimens into long but narrow eighteen inch border in front of a low wall.
Acers are one of the trees that garden experts seem to refer to when quizzed about autumn colour and understandably so, because the Japanese maples really do have a fabulous variety of foliage colours and, most importantly, tend to hang on to those leaves despite a wet summer, although do try to site them away from fierce winds. I have an acer atropurpureum palmata that lives in a large container against a North-East facing but sheltered wall of the house and is currently clothed in port-wine leaves.
I also think that the variegated dogwoods provide much needed brightness, especially on a cloudy day. A favourite of mine is cornus alba sibirica Elegantissima, which has striking leaves striped creamy white and lime-green. In winter, its new wood is a striking bright red, beautifully exposed once the leaves have fallen.
Ceanothus Autumnal Blue will flower from midsummer into October. Like all ceanothus, don't expect it to live forever, but I love the fact that they add a cool blue into the garden at a time of year when there is so much emphasis on the hotter hues in the colour spectrum.
Grasses, which have been stalwarts in my garden all summer, really come into their own in these starker months. I'm a huge fan of miscanthus sinensis 'Gracillimus', which has feathery seed heads tinged dusky pink, above long golden stems that arch gracefully and unlike some other miscanthus, seem to be less battered by the wind, despite the very open location in which I have planted the specimens. They will stand on guard, providing texture in the borders, until next spring, when I will cut them down as new shoots emerge.
While I'm relying on shrubs and trees, I'm pleased to note that a few summer flowers are still performing, including the hand-sown California poppies and clematis 'Polish Spirit', which flowers off and on all summer until the first frosts here in the South East. The same is true of the hardy fuchsias, which living in containers seem to have rather enjoyed this cooler and wetter summer, perhaps not surprising considering that they really do not being too hot and dry. Fuchsia magellanica 'Variegata' is covered in masses of pendant blooms. What they lack in size they make up for in the vibrancy of the dark pink, wonderfully offset against the sage-green leaves edge in cream.
In most summers, I have to keep a close eye that lobelia cardinalis doesn't droop in the heat, but this has been its most spectacular season yet, with its tall spires of ruby red flowers, happy in the damp ditch in which I have planted a whole swathe of these dramatic perennials.
Sedum spectabile, the ice plant, positively relishes baking hot conditions, but despite recent weather, is still going strong in my garden, with the added bonus that it is only now starting to bloom, presumably delayed because of the lack of sunshine. I'm looking forward to its broccoli like flower heads opening out into pinks, purples and reds in the coming weeks.
People tend to be a bit snobbish about nasturtiums (is it because they are so easy to grow?) but I'm a huge fan because they tick so many boxes: can be raised easily from seed, puts up with drought, wet, blazing sun or shade and keeps going well into autumn. This year, I've discovered Empress of India, which has wonderful dark purple tinged leaves and prolific blooms of cardinal red. I have planted it in a bed which is itself a bit of a hotchpotch: a couple of shrubs, some day lilies, various annuals and some spaghetti squash and the nasturtium somehow brings them all together, weaving in and out and making the other colours, textures and shapes gel better.
But these late blooms are the icing on the cake. This year's summer has reminded me not just of the need to plan for the later months, but to rely more on shrubs and trees to provide seasonal colour. Sure, late summer flowers are wonderful, but given our unpredictable climate, let's view them as a possible bonus, not the main event.

The Suzuki Method stems from the fundamental principal that Every Child Can Learn. Just as every child learns his own language, every child can learn to play an instrument. Dr. Suzuki trained teachers to break down larger concepts, such as 'how to hold the cello', into smaller easily learned exercises. Each exercise is carefully thought out and sequenced so that over the course of a few lessons, the child learns the entire task of 'how to hold the cello'. Suzuki trained teachers use positive reinforcement to encourage a fertile learning environment, while maintaining high standards of execution.
Parents are an integral part of each lesson and form part of the Suzuki Lesson Triangle, serving as the at-home teacher. The Suzuki Method is tailored to teach very young children, as young as 3 years old.

Im new to spice works so go easy on me :D
I setup spiceworks about a week ago now and its brillent! i have help desk going and everything. i cant figure out this last little bit.
i have 285 Scann Errors. all saying the same thing "Permission or firewall problem?" and when i look in the device summery i see this
"No open ports for this device were found to be responding. This typically means that there is a firewall or permission issue preventing remote access. Please see the help section"

We have this too, but if we 'rescan' the PCs individually then it works. A bit of a pain with 100-odd PCs.
I did try to fix it by using Group Policy to set the DCOM/WMI permissions on a subset of PCs but it doesn't make any difference. It appears once the scheduled network scan gives a scan error that PC will continue to have a scan error until manually rescanned.

That is usually caused by ports that should be open being closed on host machines, or because the user account that spiceworks is using to scan the machines doesn't have the required privs.
Check the Spiceworks documentation for required ports etc, systematically work down that and see how it goes. I know occassionally Spiceworks tells me certain machines have scan errors, but then when I return in the morning it's all working good again.

We spent the first week of our (adult) family vacation on Utila, another smaller Bay Island. We were miserable. Don't go there unless your primary interest is diving, in which case you will enjoy it. Or if you love sand fleas, it's paradise. We then did some research and picked what seemed to be the most expensive hotel on Roatan. For $465 a night we got a third floor luxury condo with three bedrooms, three baths, four balconies with views of the ocean and and beautiful pool. Our condo had a full kitchen (with dishes, cutlery, but only one sharp knife; if you plan to cook, bring your own.) granite tops. The entire unit had marble floors. Full dining room and living room with cable/flat screen-type tv. We were ecstatic when we saw the swim-up bar. Even though we rarely used it, it was comforting to have it nearby.
The location on the beach was perfect, at the end adjacent to a protected area which made for great snorkeling. We'd snorkeled on Utila but were plagued with sea lice, invisibile creatures which sting like mini jellyfish. Only had some insignificant experiences here. The snorkeling was great, beach beautiful and uncrowded. Only saw one sunbather who forgot to read the memo on no nude sunbathing. Had no incidents with cruise ships and were told by the staff that they were forbidden from using the chairs at the hotel. There were always plenty of chairs available.
The second phase of the resort is still under construction but we felt well insulated from the work and it didn't bother us at all. The "spa" part of Infinity Bay Resort and Spa is in the second phase along with a four-star restaurant and is supposed to be completed by next year.
There is no restaurant other than food served at tables on the beach or room service. $20 for a two pound lobster tail is a bargain, however, and we didn't mind. We lucked into The Vintage Pearl restaurant which is walking distance down the beach. My 33-year old son agreed with another reviewer that he had the best steak he'd ever eaten. (It came from the US.) $250 for five adults included one bottle of wine, one drink and two beers. The service was excellent, atmosphere was island perfection. We loved it. Amazingly on Saturday night at 7 PM there were only four tables being served. We were seated immediately and had wonderful service.
We took a taxi to Coxen Hole to grocery shop. It's about a 20 minute drive each way and the driver waited while we shopped for about half an hour. We'd negotiated a $15 trip but gave him $20 for the wait. Well worth the trip. Bought wonderful Chilean wine for about $10 a bottle that beat the heck out of the (also Chilean) wine we'd been charged $20 a bottle for on Utila.
Definitely take the water taxi to see West End. There's nothing you can buy there that you can't find at World Market, but it's a throwback, very third worldish but charming. I don't think anybody goes to Roatan for the shopping.
Only downside to Infinity Bay: internet was sporadic, and if my kids hadn't been there to put it right every day I would have given up on it. We lost water 2-3 times including for two hours before our departure. We were on the third floor, and my husband is somewhat handicapped so that when the elevator went out, which happened 2-3 times, he was stuck in the room or at the pool. The hotel made an adjustment on our bill for the inconveniences. The staff couldn't have been friendlier or more cooperative.

Princess Monster Wife is a character in the episode of the same name. Princess Monster Wife was created by Ice King using parts he stole from the princesses of Ooo. She was very worried about her appearance and origins most of the episode, but she tried to be a normal housewife for Ice King and he seemed to care for her.
Princess Monster Wife's makeshift design caused her problems with eating and she made many unintelligible sounds in the episode. She was extremely ugly, causing Finn and Jake to faint when they looked at her. She also made a penguin throw up by blowing a kiss at it. She recognized that she wasn't normal when she saw Ice King's ice statue of her after he sang "Let Me Show You Something Special" to her. Finn, Jake, and the penguins made her feel ugly and unnatural, ultimately causing her to lock herself in the bathroom and cry. After Princess Monster Wife found out that she was stitched together from other princesses she returns her body parts to their rightful owners. The only thing that remained was a red cloak, and her sadly final goodbye to Ice King from her disembodied voice.
Princess Monster Wife was shown to have obvious self-image issues, to the point of locking herself in a bathroom to cry. New to the world, she was quite innocent and tried her best to please others. She appeared to genuinely care for the Ice King.
At the end of the episode, she commited a sacrificial act of kindness and heroism by giving up her own life to return the stolen body parts.
Princess Monster Wife was a tall princess made up of parts from the princesses of Ooo. She had obvious stitching connecting the parts to one another. Her mouth was made up of three head pieces and looks unnatural as a result, with the left side of her mouth connecting to both of the right sections at uneven angles. Each part of her body was covered by the clothing that its respective princess would wear on that part.
Princess Monster Wife had the right half of Princess Bubblegum's face, the left half of Turtle Princess' head, Lumpy Space Princess' chin, Wildberry Princess' right arm, Muscle Princess' left arm, the back half of Hot Dog Princess as a right leg, and Skeleton Princess' left leg. She also had less distinguishable parts in her midsection, with the only clearly recognizable part being Doctor Princess's labcoat. Ice King also said she has Elbow Princess' hips, Dr. Princess's heart and intestines, and Slime Princess' bottom. She wore the tiaras of Princess Bubblegum and Turtle Princess on their respective head parts.
See Princess Monster Wife (character)/Quotes
- Because Princess Monster Wife had the mouths of Turtle Princess, Princess Bubblegum, and Lumpy Space Princess, her voice was a combination of those three princesses' voices.
- In the ending of the episode, Lumpy Space Princess did not get her lumps back; she got Turtle Princess' missing part of her face. Later episodes show they have fixed this.
- Princess Monster Wife was the first monster that Finn and Jake were unable to fight because the mere sight of her caused the two heroes to faint.
- The portion of Lumpy Space Princess' face that was attached to Princess Monster Wife slightly resembles cleavage.
- When puckered, Princess Monster Wife's lips looked like Lumpy Space Princess' lips after she drank the potion that gave her "luscious lips" in "From Bad to Worse."
- Despite being made up of Ice King's favorite parts of his favorite princesses, he stated in "Loyalty to the King" and "Hitman," that Lumpy Space Princess was one of his least favorite princesses.
Storyline analysisEdit
- The formation of Princess Monster Wife's head was made up with Princess Bubblegum and Turtle Princess, this could be a possibility that the Ice King likes smart Princesses. As shown in "Holly Jolly Secrets Part II," the Ice King (Simon) misses his partner Betty who seems to be a smart person.
- Princess Monster Wife was the only known princess to not reject Ice King, though this is likely because she was created by him.

Great Plains digs out of heavy snow, storm debris
Credit: The Associated Press
PIERRE, S.D. — Breaking nearly century-old early autumn snowfall records, a storm system smothered South Dakota's scenic Black Hills in South Dakota with up to 3½ feet of wet, heavy snow, leaving residents the challenge of digging out.
But wintry weather wasn't the only thing delivered by the powerful cold front that crossed the Great Plains, as unusually strong thunderstorms brought heavy rain, hail and as many as nine tornadoes to Nebraska and Iowa. Fifteen people in northeast Nebraska were injured in a tornado Friday, while three died in a car accident on a snow-slicked road.

Bell tolls for Ian
Dave Fulton believes Ian Bell would benefit from being dropped for the second Test with the West Indies.
Last Updated: 10/02/09 8:57am
Ever since the introduction of central contracts and the subsequent creation of 'team England', England's key players have enjoyed unprecedented levels of support and backing; particularly the batsmen.
Where once a batsman's career could be cut short by a couple of failures, the new breed are made to feel like they belong, that they will get a fair crack of the whip.
Duncan Fletcher and Nasser Hussain started the trend back in 2000. They picked players and stuck with them for longer than had previously been the case and were - by and large - rewarded with good returns on their investments.
Even players drafted in because of their success in county cricket like Ian Ward, Ed Smith and Usman Afzaal were given three Tests rather than the one they might have expected in the bleak days of the late 80s through to the mid 90s.
After England's horrible capitulation for 51 in Jamaica against the lowly-ranked West Indies team, however, there is a danger that England are clinging too tightly to this cloak of continuity and collectivism.
The two Andys, captain Strauss and coach Flower, talked of avoiding knee-jerk reactions but this was not a one-off blip, it was a crash waiting to happen. Ian Bell and Alastair Cook have been below their best for more than a year, Paul Collingwood for a little longer bar a career-saving effort at Edgbaston last summer against South Africa and a second-innings 108 in Chennai where he became increasingly becalmed.
They are all fine players but under-performing batsmen can find safety in numbers, I know, I've done it myself within a county set-up.
Ian Bell needs to be dropped for the team's sake and for his. In 17 knocks he has scored just one hundred and one fifty. I'm sure he will come back a better player for it because he is a very talented young man, who has always seemed destined for great things.
I maintain my belief that one day he will be one of the best players in the world but for the moment his results from the crucial number three position are not good enough. It's hurting the team.
Bell is discovering there is no hiding place at the top level. The media pressure is intense and Owais Shah is breathing down his neck. There is no disgrace in him returning to county cricket, establishing some form before returning with hardened resolve and fortified technique. Losing your place is often the crucial kick-in-the-stomach catalyst for a better career.
Recent history tells us that many greats of the game have had to go through this process; even the mighty Australians. Steve Waugh was dropped for his brother in 1990-91, while Justin Langer, Matthew Hayden and Ricky Ponting all had periods out of the Test team.
England need only look at how Strauss turned his career around having been left out 16 months ago for the tour of Sri Lanka. He was not completely cast out in the wilderness but the realisation dawned that his international career was hanging by a thread.
He got away from the spotlight, worked hard and then played domestic cricket in New Zealand. His re-introduction on the tour of New Zealand seemed a touch hasty but his 177 in the final Test proved his re-habilitation was complete.
Upon his appointment as captain Strauss said that England's players need to take more responsibility for their own performances. As captain his responsibility is to the team and the team needs a change. Without such a move the team is in danger of looking like a cosy closed shop.
There have been all mother of distractions recently including the enforced resignation of his predecessor, Pietersen, the sacking of Peter Moores and the IPL auction. The temptation will be to dig the heels in and keep everything the same. That would be a mistake. It is time for Owais Shah.

How are you?
Seriously, How are you really doing?
In counselling sessions It's OK not to be OK, and its OK to say so.
I would like to offer you a safe, confidential, professional space that is yours and yours alone. You can turn off the filter, and say it how it really is. So often we edit our replies according to who is listening, where and when. Even with a loved one we can be aware of and worried about the effect our words and thoughts could have on them.
I offer one-to-one Person-Centred Counselling sessions for people of all ages (so far ranging from 4 to 84). My private counselling room in Bignall End is easily accessible from the A500 or A34.

I have worked as a Volunteer Counsellor in South Manchester with Place2Be and in Stoke-on-Trent with The Dove Service and The Samaritans.
Working with Place2Be I provided high quality one-to-one therapeutic play sessions for children in a primary school. I have experience of working with many presenting issues such as: attachment problems, parental domestic violence, parental neglect, parental separation, parental drug, alcohol and substance misuse.
Working within The Dove Service I provided one-to-one therapy sessions for clients with a variety of presenting issues including loss of a loved one, or many loved ones, loss of a child or children, critical or terminal illness of self and/or a loved one, life altering illness, loss through separation and/or divorce, suicide, domestic violence and abuse. I have found that it is not unusual for clients to attend sessions due to grief or loss but then discover that they would like to work on an issue in their daily lives that we uncover together.
I currently work part-time on a joint project facilitated by The Dove Service for Staffordshire County Council and CAMHS to provide one-to-one therapy sessions for children and young people aged 4 to 18 in schools and Children's Centres.
Sessions cost between £30 and £50 and usually last 50 minutes. More details are on my website.
