I initially set the unit for 34" tires, the diameter of my Toyo ATIIs in 295 60r20, the speedometer was actually a couple mph over. After some downward-tweaking for tire inflation level, I setting the unit to correct for 32.75 inch tires got my speedometer accurate to within less than 0.5mph error compared to Garmin GPS. Keep in mind that actual tire diameter is dependent on how many psi you are running, so getting things right on the money may take some tweaking.

I just published in all e-book forms the second in my series The Magi of Adoration, a series of Supernatural Horror charmingly set in a small Tennessee town called Adoration. The first volume was entitled Blood Debt. This one is called Adoration. Both are, if I do say so myself, quite fun.

TCB: Vol. 2 The Great Comparison
by, 11-04-2012 at 08:58 PM (4120 Views)
What's up everyone it's Heavy here bringing you volume 2 of TCB(Takin' Care of Business) now in the first edition of this series i talked about tag team matches that i personally would love to see.However in this blog i will be talking about something that really has been bothering me as of late, which is comparison of wrestlers.
Goldberg and Ryback
Now of course the main comparison that we seem to be hearing of alot today is Goldberg and Ryback. this comparison really bothers me alot and no offense to any fans but its ridiculous already. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME PERSON. everyone says that Ryback is copying Goldberg and trying to be the Next Goldberg.. well he's now and ill explain why i think why.
1. The Look
Ryback is clearly bigger than Goldberg. However Goldberg was just more lean and cut. Just because Ryback is bald doesn't mean that he is stealing Goldberg's look because if that was the case then everybody would be copying each other. Clearly their ring attire is Different Ryback sports the singlet while Goldberg had the MMA tights going on.
2. Ring Work
Now if you ever watched a Goldberg match then you would know that he dominated whoever he was in the ring was and maybe getting beaten down every now and then. We can't say that him and Ryback wrestle the same because Ryback is just getting started with his in ring character work. Goldberg did this for every match he had and remained undefeated, Ryback has lost already.
Shawn Michaels and Dolph Ziggler
Now this one is Just starting to appear and even during Ziggler's matches the commentary team is making this comparison. This one is just crazy because there will never be another Shawn Michaels, and yes Ziggler does some moves similar to Shawn and resembles the confidence of him but so what?? I mean if that's all it takes to be compared to Shawn Michaels then anybody could come close. Shawn knew how to cut a promo with real emotion and could tell a story. Ziggler is just getting comfortable on the mic and still has a long way to go to meet up to Shawn's promo skills.
Side Note:
The main point if this blog is to get you as fans to realize that every wrestler is his own man. You can never recreate anybody no matter how hard you try. The reason's the greats are so great is because there was nobody like them before and there wont be anybody like them in the future. accept and embrace who every comes on that TV screen and don't compare them to wrestlers that you loved in the past because if you do that then you might as well stop watching wrestling because no one will ever satisfy you.
Well that's it for this edition of TCB i hope you enjoyed and i'd love to hear your feedback. Please leave comments (good and bad) Below. Vol. 3 COMING SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How to write a lab report introduction
Energy is one of the most fundamental parts of our universe.
We use energy to do work. Energy lights our cities. Energy powers our vehicles, trains, planes and rockets. Energy warms our homes, cooks our food, plays our music, gives us pictures on television. Energy powers machinery in factories and tractors on a farm.
Energy from the sun gives us light during the day. It dries our clothes when they're hanging outside on a clothes line. It helps plants grow. Energy stored in plants is eaten by animals, giving them energy. And predator animals eat their prey, which gives the predator animal energy.
Everything we do is connected to energy in one form or another.
Energy is defined as: "the ability to do work. "
When we eat, our bodies transform the energy stored in the food into energy to do work. When we run or walk, we "burn" food energy in our bodies. When we think or read or write, we are also doing work. Many times it's really hard work!
Cars, planes, light bulbs, boats and machinery also transform
energy into work.
Work means moving something, lifting something, warming something, lighting something. All these are a few of the various types of work. But where does energy come from?
There are many sources of energy. In The Energy Story, we will look at the energy that makes our world work. Energy is an important part of our daily lives.The forms of energy we will look at include:
- Electricity
- Biomass Energy - energy from plants
- Geothermal Energy
- Fossil Fuels - Coal, Oil and Natural Gas
- Hydro Power and Ocean Energy
- Nuclear Energy
- Solar Energy
- Wind Energy
- Transportation Energy
We will also look at turbines and generators, at what electricity is, how energy is sent to users, and how we can decrease or conserve the energy we use. Finally, we'll look at the "newer" forms of energy. and take a look at energy in the future.
You can start with Chapter 1: Energy - What Is It? or you can go to any of the other chapters.Source: www.energyquest.ca.gov

Mercer sits from lineup amid hitting woes
ST. LOUIS -- Left fielder Starling Marte was not the only slump-ridden Pirates player kept out of Friday night's series opener in Busch Stadium.
Shortstop Jordy Mercer made way for his forebear, Clint Barmes. Mercer's bat work through 22 games has been one of the young season's major disappointments, particularly his absence of power.
Mercer has only one extra-base hit (a double) among the total of 11 that depress his average to .183, with an OPS of .442.
In manager Clint Hurdle's view, the 27-year-old just needs to remember that it is a long season.
"He hasn't gotten out clean, and we have a tendency to try to make up for lost time," Hurdle said, "to try to get five hits in three at-bats.
"His No. 1 is, he's got to get started early [with the batter's box approach]. That's getting ready to hit, the preparation -- his first move to the ball, his trigger. It needs to be earlier."
There is also the obvious added pressure that comes with expectation. Last season, as a frequent contributor but, still, only Barmes' lieutenant, Mercer batted .285 with 32 extra-base hits (22 doubles, two triples, eight homers) giving him a .772 OPS.

Brian Tierney earned his Bachelor of Music from Portland State's College of the Arts in 2005
This article originally appeared in the Oregonian. Read the original article.
For Portland opera singer Brian Tierney, his lungs are his lifeline.
That was put in jeopardy, however, on March 28, 2012. Tierney was driving south on I-205, his normal route heading home from work as an assistant choir director at St. Michael & All Angels Episcopal Church, when his car was suddenly hit by gunfire by an unknown shooter. He was shot more than half a dozen times.
During his rehabilitation at Legacy Emanuel Medical Center, he learned of the severe damage to his lungs, in addition to other wounds.
"It made me sick to my stomach to think about a life without singing," Tierney said, who created a career as a tenor opera singer. "Singing is such a big part of who I am. It's what I've done all my life, all my hard work."
As it turns out, however, singing would be the answer to his recovery – the natural rhythms helping to rebuild his breathing patterns.
"My doctor would come in saying, 'What's my singing gunshot patient got for me today?'" Tierney remembers.
Tierney, who said he has always been critical of his voice, admits he was shy to vocalize at first. But memories of singing favorite arias helped bring him back to what once had been familiar comforts.
"I really had to re-learn how to sing," Tierney explained. "I took for granted what I had done so long without problems. You don't understand how the mechanism works until it's damaged."
So he took things apart and put them back together.
Tierney said his wife, a speech pathologist, helped him with breathing exercises and his daughter, then 2, held him accountable, telling him to, "Breathe, Daddy!"
Slowly but surely, song after song, Tierney began to regain his voice.
"My wife says I sound even better!" Tierney said, joking that he wasn't "as good" before. "I take it as a compliment."
For Tierney, singing has become more than growing his personal career – it's about spreading the passion to others. Tierney has worked with volunteer choral programs that visit schools in the Portland-metro area, served as the choir director at Portland's St. Michael and All Angels last year, and helped with his daughter's recent Christmas pageant.
The last year and a half has brought him back to why he started singing in the first place.
During Tierney's childhood in Vancouver, Wash., his mom enrolled him in a show choir called the "Sunshine Generation."
"My memories are white pants and bright orange vests," Tierney, now 31, laughed. "We were always flashy."
From there, Tierney played leading roles in musicals at Milwaukie High School and won state solo competitions during his junior and senior years.
With encouragement from his teachers and vocal instructors, he decided to pursue singing in college, earning a Bachelors of Arts from Portland State University and a Masters degree from University of Louisville in Kentucky.
Portland opera singer Brian Tierney was shot multiple times when driving on I-205 in 2012. Since his recovery, Tierney has returned to performing and will be a soloist at the Portland Chamber Orchestra's concert of Handel's "Messiah" on Dec. 20 in Hillsboro.
Courtesy of Brian Tierney
Tierney went on to be part of the Kentucky Opera and eventually moved back to the Northwest where he began singing with the Portland Opera. Throughout his singing career, Tierney has performed with most choirs in the Portland metro area.
Friday, Dec. 20, will be Tierney's first time with thePortland Chamber Orchestra, but singing George Frideric Handel's "Messiah" goes back to his high school days.
"It never feels like Christmas until I sing 'Comfort' ('Comfort ye my people') and 'Every Valley' ('Every Valley Shall be Exalted')," Tierney said. "It's a beautiful work to sing, but even more so to listen to."
Tierney has noticed that audiences during the holiday season are different than performances at other times of the year. He described it like singing to a family instead of a group of strangers.
"Maybe it's the holiday spirit or the nature of the work itself," Tierney said. "It's a work that transcends cultures, generations, creed and race. It's enjoyable to everybody."
When the choir sings the "Hallelujah Chorus," the "Messiah's" most famous piece, for Tierney, sounds of "hallelujah," an exclamation of joy, couldn't be more fitting.

NEW ORLEANS — Sophomore guard Ricky Tarrant scored 21 points and junior forward Josh Davis hauled down nine rebounds to go with 14 points as the Tulane men's basketball team marked its first game in the newly renovated Devlin Fieldhouse with a 65-55 win over Bethune-Cookman on Tuesday.
The Wave overcame a shaky start and hot shooting by the Wildcats early in the game before managing to gradually take the lead and pull away from Bethune. With the victory, the Green Wave bounced back from a season-opening loss to Georgia Tech and evened its record at 1-1. Bethune-Cookman fell to 0-2.
"We just had to regain our composure and stay calm," Davis said. "(The Wildcats) threw a lot of different defenses at us, and we had to adjust to them, and we were just able to come back."
In addition to his 21 points, Tarrant notched a team-high four assists. And while both he and Davis shoot poorly from the field, they both took advantage of their chances at the line, with Tarrant going 11-for-14 and Davis 8-for-9 at the stripe.
Tulane forward Kendall Timmons added eight points and six rebounds, while the Wildcats were paced by guards Kevin Dukes and Mikel Trapp, who posted 13 points and 12 points, respectively.
Timmons said the keys to the Wave's first win of the season were simple.
"Rebounding and free throws," Timmons said. "We punished them at the free-throw line. We just had guys hustling. Guys came off the bench, and we fed off the crowd."
Tulane struggled early, falling behind by nine about eight and a half minutes into the first half, with Bethune outmuscling Tulane on the boards and catching fire from behind the arc.
But Tulane began cleaning up on the offensive boards and took advantage of a slew of Bethune fouls to go on a 20-5 run to take a 33-27 lead. The two squads then matched each other point for point for the rest of the half, which ended with Tulane up 37-31.
The Wave's first-half run was highlighted by Tarrant's foul-shooting — he went 10-for-12 from the line in the half, accounting for all but two of his points in the half — and hustle in the paint by Davis, who tallied 10 points in the first half and helped Tulane outrebound the Wildcats 19-15 by halftime. That figure included 11 offensive rebounds overall for the Wave. Tulane also scored 18 points off Bethune-Cookman turnovers in the half.
While Tulane was picking up the pace, the Wildcats suddenly went cold for the field. However, they still managed to outshoot the Wave 44.4 percent to 34.6 in the half behind nine points each by Adrien Coleman and Mikel Trapp.
The Wildcats pulled within two during a frenzied, sloppy start to the second half, but the Green Wave, keyed by Davis' strong inside play, stiffened on defense and stretched its lead to 50-39 midway through the half, a spurt that included eight unanswered points.
Both teams continued their slapdash play as the half progressed, each squad racking up fouls, turnovers and missed three-pointers. But with a Tarrant three-pointer with just over six minutes to go, the Wave brought its lead back to 11.
Dukes drained a 3-pointer to cut the Tulane lead to 55-47 before the Wildcats called a timeout with about five and a half minutes left in the game. Tarrant answered with a three of his own but then missed an easy layup on a fast break. Wildcat guard Ricky Johnson hauled down the rebound, leading to a three by Dukes to slice the Tulane lead to just 57-53 with 3:29 to play.
Davis, however, by hit two free throws to extend the Green Wave lead back to six. Timmons then went 1-2 from the line, followed by another errant Wildcat pass and turnover.
The Wave made Bethune pay with a swished three-point by senior guard Ben Cherry, giving Tulane a 63-55 edge with 2:29 left. After another Wildcat turnover and foul, Tulane sophomore Tre Drye salted the game away by connecting on a pair of free throws with less than a minute left in the contest.
Both teams ended up shooting under 40 percent from the floor for the game, but the Wave converted 80 percent of its free throws, going 28-for-35 at the line.
Tulane also outrebounded the Wildcats 39-34, including a 17-13 edge on the offensive boards.
In addition, the Wave scored a whopping 27 points off turnovers and put up 22 second-chance points. Tulane also showed more depth, outscoring Bethune 15-7 off the bench, and posted a 22-15 edge in points in the paint.
Timmons said the Wave felt comfortable in its renovated surroundings at Devil Fieldhouse, which received a large makeover during the off-season. He added that the fans turned out to support the squad in their 2012-13 home debut. Attendance Tuesday topped 1,600.
"A lot more people showed up than I thought would," Timmons said. "They were really into the game."

Pretty touching, don't know if you've seen it or not.
To quote Byron Scott from today: "As much as we love this game, it don't mean nothing"
I know he was talking about the shootings in Con. but it applies to this as well. It is somewhat inspiring that Garnett showed this side of himself because it certainly goes against his public persona. Life is greater than the game.
A slightly uplifting moment in an otherwise terrible day. Clearly there is more to KG than his on court persona, I don't think I'll ever view him as a tough guy, but he is definitely a loyal person.
Actually the quote from Byron Scott came from today and he was talking about the shootings. I just used it because I thought it applied to this situation as well.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I thought was so touching too! They go back to 1995 with the T-Wolves. KG has always looked up to McHale and it was a really nice moment.
It was also nice to see Courtney Lee (he played for the Rockets last year) stop and give his condolences.
This is awesome
Very touching but I also have this song that we could all use right now

Q: Why are you sitting on your deck right now while Dwight Howard is in L.A.?
A: Two separate questions. I think Dwight had decided before last season started — maybe even before then — that he was going to leave Orlando.
Q: Do you think he really knew what he wanted?
A: I think he might have known. He had a great fondness for Orlando, the fans and the way people treated him. I think he might've wanted a different environment, a big city. He's a young guy and I think he was conflicted. It was hard for him. Dwight doesn't like to disappoint people. That's one of things that sort of clouded the situation and made it as messy as it was. He's not the kind of guy to just say, "I want the hell out of here.''
With me, the situation wasn't good for our team. There was a lot of speculation, first about (Howard possibly) leaving. As a team, our guys dealt with it well. Before he got hurt, we had one of the top five or six records in the league. The distractions kept amping. The story got out that Dwight asked for me to be fired. Before the All-Star break, ESPN reported that the Magic had told Dwight that, at the end of the season, he could decide whether (general manager) Otis (Smith) and I came back.
I had some real disagreements with (Magic CEO) Alex Martins. Otis and I were on the same page and I didn't have any problems with Dwight. I had problems with how our organization approached the situation, how they decided to cater to (Howard) in ways that I thought were counter-productive for our team.
I thought we should have dealt with some of the rumors (about his coaching future). I made it known that it wasn't a matter of my fate. They could have ended all the speculation and fired me right then — I said that to them. That stops the speculation and gets you back to basketball. They wouldn't do anything about it.
Q: What's your theory?
A: If they fire me at that point, my guess is two things would have happened: Dwight becomes the bad guy, which they didn't want (because they wanted to re-sign him). And/or they look like they're taking their marching orders from him.
I was convinced during the process — and I'm not saying it shouldn't have been — was (the Magic's) concern was keeping Dwight Howard in Orlando. That was a very, very important thing. But it was at odds with my concern, which was our team. It can't be just one guy. We have 12 other guys. This detracted from us being the best we could be. It needed to be dealt with.
When I (publicly) confirmed what I knew that (Howard) had asked for me to be fired, I thought, "The story dies." We didn't get to find out because Dwight played only two more games.
I've been asked if I had any regrets about what I said. My only regret was that I didn't bring things to a head a lot earlier. If you're going to coach, your responsibility is to do the best for your team. I presented (management) with the option of getting rid of me. I wasn't trying to save my job. When I (publicly) confirmed Dwight (tried to fire him), I knew it wasn't the best move for me to keep my job. But if you're going to coach just to keep your job, you're not going to be very good.

Im interested as to how this hire will effect the minor leagues. What is his player development history broken down between position players and pitchers?
I dont see there being any way for Jocketty and Krivsky to remain here unless Jocketty takes over and Bob Cast. takes a step back away from everything which if Im not mistaking I believe he has said he plans to actually do that.
This is what will sell me on this move. I personally believe the only way for the Reds or any team in baseball in '08 to win is by the farm system. When the Red Sox and Yankees are holding onto their prospects that means something.
So whats Jocketty's track record on developing players?

The Wales international scored twice to help his side to a 2-1 win over Newcastle on Saturday, leaving the Magpies coach in no doubt of his standing in world football
The Welshman netted twice to help Spurs earn a 2-1 victory over Pardew's side at White Hart Lane, and was only denied a hat-trick by some late brilliance from Magpies keeper Tim Krul.
And the English coach has praised the winger, revealing that the tactical plans he had concocted to nullify Bale's threat simply had not worked.
"If you picked a world XI there is no doubt in my mind that he would play left midfield," Pardew told reporters. "He could probably play left back as well.
"We did a lot of work on trying to stop him. But he showed there are still going to be moments when he creates that space.
"It's his technique with the hit that is the problem. He seems to be able to connect true whether he is on balance or off balance. That's what makes him so difficult to play against."
Newcastle defender Steven Taylor also had kind words for the 23-year-old, comparing him to Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo.
"Gareth Bale is a world beater. He is the complete player. He's like Ronaldo," he said.
"He is one of those who can produce that bit of magic. You have to be on your toes all the time and just pray to God he doesn't score.
"He is outstanding and we were all saying after the game what a fantastic player he was."

Some say it is helpful to drop the involvement in the story in the head. They say that whenever something seems to be the point of what we are doing, that needs to be dropped as it is a form of craving. When something seems to be the point of what we are doing, then the present moment has become an obstacle to reaching something in the future.
Others say it is helpful to embrace the now and be aware of what is happening now without focussing attention, without letting consciousness stick to any particular thing.
I believe these things are helpful and true but can cause much confusion.
Who is supposed to shut up? Who is supposed to drop the point? Wouldn't dropping the point be the new point?
Who is supposed to embrace the now? Is there an I in the now? Isn't it always in the now then? Who can focus attention?
What is it we can actually do then? Isn't all doing an obstacle? Do we need realization before we can practice? But if the realization is already there, what are we practicing for?
There is nothing you can do, since there is no you. There are just the forms, feelings, perceptions, mental objects and consciousness.
Then maybe we need to practice giving up completely. What is there to do if there is no I who can do it? What is there to achieve if there is no I to achieve it? What is there to keep if everything is impermanent? What is there to gain if there are no boundaries between things?
What should we give up then? If you ask me, we should practice giving up the following things at all times:
But we should not forget to give up the following things as well:
And above all, we should not forget to give up practicing giving up.
Now, what remains is watching without having a goal. What remains is being aware of the now. Watching and being aware of the now can never be manipulated since all forms of 'trying to make it happen' would be obstacles to actually making it happen.

Hello everybody,
So I have been able to consistently get to access concentration lately doing anapanasati and have some confusion as far as the next step(s) to lead to jhana. My experience is being able to effortlessly follow the breath and then the physical sensation of breath fading away and piti/sukha arise. Ajahn brahm and Leigh brasington both say to leave the breath and focus on piti/sukha (from my understanding of Ajahn brahm's book). However there are other people who say to be aware of the fact that there is no physical breath sensation and just focus on that awareness (Ajahn chah,samadhi talk). "take this. very knowing as the meditation object - in other words the knowledge that there is no breath - and sustain this." I'd like to follow the second method listed, but I'm a little confused on how to only observe this awareness without creating a lot of doubt/confusion. Does anyone have any advice or is it just something you need to experiment with?
Thank you!

Maybe what I said was wrong in hindsight, but I think crimes and offenses going unreported to the police by head coaches is more apparant than people think. Players would never want to play for a guy that reports them to the police if they have any sort of criminal capability in them, and the coaches may not want to coach for a guy that reports their issues to the police. (yes it sounds cruel, but it's obvious Sandusky isn't a very sane person)
The only thing close to this seriousness (at least in the major public) the last few years was the dogfighting ring by Michael Vick, and it also seemed in that situation that at least players and maybe coaches had to of ignored that situation until the authorities show up and then all of a sudden everyone comes out.

Right royal touch to the the Wheatland meeting
4:00pm Thursday 8th May 2014
4:00pm Thursday 8th May 2014
SUNDAY'S Wheatland Point-to-Point will receive the royal seal of approval with the Queen's granddaughter Zara Phillips in action.
Phillips will be riding the Don Constable owned Master Tim in the Ladies Open.
The horse struggled in heavy ground in Ireland but could benefit from better ground and his run will be followed with interest.
Meanwhile, the Members race has attracted runners from all the major stables in the local vicinity.
Two trainers based in the Bridgnorth area are represented with Middleton Priors-based Belinda Clarke entering Alcanson and Best Director, while Morville's Phil Rowley selection includes Mor Brook, Ocean Venture and Overplan.
Caroline Robinson, from Sheriffhales, has Shales prefix, Shales Army, Shales Ay Jay and Shales Home Mix plus their stablemate Whistling Straights in action.
Enville's Diana Williams will be keen to have a winner and What A Bluff could meet that objective following his impressive win at Woodford.
The runners in the Restricted are much of a muchness but Tom Weston has his string in such fine form that it is difficult to look beyond Cold Knight.
You ignore runners from Sheila Crows Hadnell stable at your peril but Abbeyview has a lot to do in the Conditions race, as has Burtolli Boy who should appreciate the conditions.
Kazuri Kate and Moorland Sunset are others to note, but recent form suggests Numbercruncher and Perfectly Willing will prove difficult to beat. The racing action starts at 1.30pm.

2. Early voting in Harris County continues through Nov 3 at all early voting locations. Voter turnout continues to be low. On Tuesday, 2,599 people voted in person, versus 4,206 who voted on the second day of early voting during the last municipal election in 2009. Overall, there's been a 24% decrease in voter turnout from 2009. The upshot of which is that each vote is 24% more powerful. So grab three friends and get to the polls, together the four of you almost get an extra vote.
3. Rev. Pat "God-sends-hurricanes-to-punish-gay-people" Robinson, founder of the Christian Coalition and former Republican Presidential hopeful, warned his 700 Club audience that pushing the current crop of GOP frontrunners too far to the extreme right will hurt their chances in the 2012 general election. When the man who said that the Haiti earthquake was caused because the nation made a pact with the devil thinks you've gotten too extreme that's saying something! Right Wing Watch has more.

Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) forests are one of America's natural treasures, yet past exploitation has left them hanging by a thread, now covering just 3 percent of their pre-settlement range. Because other pine species in the Southeast may be more susceptible to global warming, longleaf pine forests have an opportunity to reclaim some of their former glory.
Indeed, re-establishing longleaf pine ecosystems will benefit all Americans by improving climate resilience, economic opportunity, and ecosystem vitality.
This report provides a summary of recent literature on how global warming will affect forests in the Southeastern United States and how longleaf pine is expected to be resilient to many of these changes.
It makes a strong case for why longleaf pine ecosystem restoration should be the centerpiece of forest-based climate adaptation and carbon sequestration efforts in the region, as well as efforts to improve the economic opportunities of traditionally underserved landowners.

>> Read: "Restoring the Longleaf Pine: Preparing the Southeast for Global Warming"
Global warming puts southeastern forests at risk. As global warming pollution accumulates in the atmosphere, more and more climate changes are coming to the southeastern United States. Temperature increases, shifts in precipitation, more severe storms, sea-level rise, and other climate changes are stressing natural ecosystems and forcing communities and governments to rethink how we manage our forests, water supply, and other natural resources. More intense weather and climate extremes--for example, increasing frequency and severity of fires, hurricanes, droughts, and floods--will most directly impact these forests.
Longleaf pine ecosystems are naturally resilient to climate extremes in the Southeast. Originally the dominant native pine of the South, now mostly eliminated from its historic range, longleaf pine is better suited to thrive in the coming decades than other southern pine species. Longleaf pine grows under very dry and very wet conditions, is tolerant of and even dependent on frequent fire, is better able to weather severe storms, and is more resistant to beetle infestations likely to be exacerbated by warmer and drier conditions.
Longleaf pine restoration is a promising global warming adaptation strategy for southeastern forests. We need to invest in conservation strategies that are most likely to help wildlife and biodiversity cope with rapid change and to maintain the natural resources upon which communities across the nation depend. Restoring and expanding healthy longleaf pine forests can ensure long-term economic returns for landowners, provide crucial wildlife habitat, and enhance natural retention of fresh water on the landscape. Furthermore, recent experiences with Hurricane Katrina and the 2009 wildfires in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina have poignantly illustrated how longleaf pine forests can retain much of their economic value and help protect communities from devastating natural disasters.
Longleaf pine ecosystems should be a centerpiece of land-based carbon sequestration efforts in the Southeast. Improved forest management will be an important tool in the effort to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and thus limit the overall amount of warming during the coming decades. Longleaf pine ecosystems are well suited for long-term storage of carbon. Longleaf pine trees live longer than other southern pine species; are less susceptible to fire, pests, and storms; and produce wood more likely to be used in long-lasting structures.
Longleaf pine restoration can help alleviate poverty among African American landowners in the Southeast. The historical range of longleaf pine overlaps with the area in the rural South with large populations of African Americans, who endure high levels of poverty despite the presence of rich forest resources. Community-based forestry programs to educate and empower landowners about longleaf pine conservation and stewardship can help these communities take better advantage of the rich natural resources of the region, and thereby access new short-term income opportunities, build wealth, and enhance the resilience of communities.

NASA World Wind Satellite Mapping Program
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Software
What you see above are images I took using the NASA World Wind mapping software. If you have never used it before, you have to check it out. It uses satellites to show you images of anywhere in the world - and it blows Google Keyhole out of the water. Using buttons in the menu, you can change the view to show actual imagery (see top image), or a traditional topo map (see bottom image). The two images above are actually different views of the same thing - that being The Museum of Natural History right next to Central Park. The screenshots were also taken using the software's built in capture feature. Click on the above images for more detailed shots. It is well worth the 180 MB download.

The Right Tool for Tricky Measurement Jobs
Gamma Nuclear Level Gauges Handle the Toughest Applications
By Walt Boyes, Editor in Chief
Let's say you have a reactor vessel. It is 6 ft. (1.8 m) in diameter, glass-lined, has a big agitator in it, and has both a jacket made of 1-in. (25-mm) copper cooling coils and a 4-in. (100-mm) layer of insulation covered with thin steel lagging. Worse yet, there are no accessible entrances into the top of the vessel that aren't already being used for something. For the process to work, you must measure the level in the vessel with significant precision. You've even tried weigh cells, but there isn't enough precision to just weigh the contents of the reactor, with all that tare weight. Oh yeah, and you can't stop the reactor to modify it, and since it is a glass-lined and code-stamped vessel, you can't drill any holes in it either. What do you do?
Or, suppose you're making glass for a variety of products. The glass is produced by melting silica sand, glass frit from recycled bottles and some trace minerals in a very hot furnace with firebrick walls that are over 1 ft (300 mm) thick. The glass is too hot to pump, so it must flow by gravity down a firebrick-lined channel to where it is cast or molded or extruded. Your requirement is that you have to measure the level of the molten glass and control it to ±0.0005 in. (±0.013 mm), or the process doesn't work. Glass castings have holes called holidays in them, and extruded glass, whether tube or sheet, has flaws and holes. What do you do?
You are responsible for the air pollution control system for a very large coal-fired power plant. You have electrostatic precipitators that remove the fly ash from the stack gas before it gets released into the atmosphere, causing international pollution incidents and costing your utility millions in air-pollution-control violation fines. But the hoppers that hold the precipitated fly ash keep plugging up, and fly ash is very hot and also acts like concrete and sticks to everything. You need some way to tell when the hoppers are full, so you can empty and clean them, but anything you stick into the hopper just gums up and fails so fast that you have given up.
What do you do?
Sound familiar? Nearly every plant, from mining to wastewater and every process vertical in between, has a level application that is both critical and difficult, if not impossible, to measure.
Enter the Gamma Level Gauge
Since the 1950s, the answer to all of these applications has been the proper application of a gamma level gauge. Gamma gauges work based on both the inverse-square law—radiated energy decreases with the square of distance—and the fact that dense materials absorb gamma energy—1 in. (25 mm) of steel, for example, cuts the energy from a gamma beam by 50%
Very early on, engineers came up with the idea that rising material or liquid would change the amount of energy reaching a detector on the other side of the vessel from an emitting source. In the case of a point level switch measurement (Figure 1), rising material would simply trigger a relay if the energy beam were interrupted. In the case of a continuous level measurement (Figure 2), the rising material would cause a decrease in the intensity of the energy beam reaching the detector that could be calibrated to be proportional to the rise in level, and when the level fell, then the energy would likewise increase.
Designing to Fit
In order to figure out how much energy will reach the detector, essentially all you have to do is to add up the densities and thicknesses of all the materials between the energy source and the detector, and make the energy beam intense enough to pass through all that material and reach the detector. Safety requires that the intensity of the energy beam be designed to be as small as possible and still make the measurement.
"Modern detector designs have made it possible to use significantly lower activity sources than in previous years," says Mick Schwartz, business unit manager of Berthold Technologies USA LLC (www.berthold.com), a manufacturer of gamma level gauging products. "This means that the risk of exposure to gamma energy for personnel is minimized and amenable to proper safety precautions. Gamma energy does not cause any of the measured product or the vessel to become radioactive."
All manufacturers of gamma level gauges have software that makes the calculation of energy source size straightforward. You or the vendor plug in the numbers for the thicknesses and densities of the material, not forgetting the air gap between the walls of the vessels—air has density, and energy decreases with the square of distance—and the software spits out an optimized energy source size and, in most cases, the appropriate housing design and detector selection.
Gauging in the Real World
So let's look at how to do the level application in the jacketed vessel we talked about earlier. This is not quite as easy as putting a source and a detector across from each other because there are vessel internals, including an agitator, that have to be missed. The way to do this application is to "shoot a chord" of the vessel's diameter—that is, put the source and detector off to one side of the diameter. Because the thicknesses that the energy beam will shoot through will be greater, the source activity that will be required will be greater by some amount than shooting the diameter would be. The blades of the agitator need to be considered, and, if possible, eliminated by shooting the chord between the blades and the vessel wall. If that isn't possible, many gamma level gauges can be programmed to ignore the repetitive density fluctuation caused by blades swinging into and out of the beam. It just makes the signal noisy.

Several services provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Foreign Agricultural Service and other divisions have been put on hold because of the federal government shutdown.
As of Oct. 3, the effects of the shutdown on imports of fresh fruits and vegetables from Mexico were minimal, said Lance Jungmeyer, president of the Nogales, Ariz.-based Fresh Produce Association of the Americas.
But that could change.
"If the standoff continues, I can see that the effects may snowball, with import inspections perhaps delayed," Jungmeyer said.
Brent Harrison, president of Nogales-based Al Harrison Co., also had not heard reports of any imports being slowed through Oct. 3.
Al Harrison planned to begin bringing in Mexican watermelons the week of Oct. 7, with squash following shortly thereafter, and Harrison didn't anticipate any problems.
"I haven't heard anything, and I'm sure they'd be raising a stink" if there were problems, Harrison said.
Nonessential operations at AMS shut down Oct. 1.
Shuttered AMS operations that could affect the fresh produce industry include:
- Market News
- Marketing Orders and Agreements
- Country of Origin Labeling
- Pesticide Data Program
- National Organic Program
- Specialty Crop Block Grant Administration.
"Some information on this site may not be up to date, some transactions may not be processed, and some inquiries may not be responded to until fiscal year 2014 appropriations are enacted," according to a notice posted on the AMS homepage Oct. 1.
Other divisions affected by the government shutdown include Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services; Office of Communications; and Research, Education and Economics.
Not FDA
While several USDA functions are being curtailed during the shutdown, the Food and Drug Administration's import services were not expected to be significantly affected.
"During the government shutdown, FDA import operations shall remain operational and should not be severely impacted," Domenic Veneziano, director of the FDA's Division of Import Operations, said in an e-mail to industry members.
"Obviously some of our duties will not be covered. However, entry review, sampling and examination of high-risk shipments, as well as compliance issues, will continue."

When the Eagles picked him 12th overall in April, Fletcher Cox called his mother and raved about the team's wide nine defensive line alignment that Cox seemed custom fit to play in.
"I was built for this," he told her.
Well, it's gone. The Eagles ditched it and reverted to the more conventional read-and-react scheme Monday when coach Andy Reid fired defensive line coach Jim Washburn, architect of the wide nine, and replaced him with veteran Tommy Brasher.
This move, of course, thrust the team's most dominant defensive lineman this year back into the spotlight and raises questions about Cox's fit into the team's plan going forward. He played in a variation of the wide nine—or "over" defense—at Mississippi State.
"I still think I can make plays," Cox said Thursday. "I know I can make plays."
But surely his responsibilities have changed. It's not about teeing off on quarterbacks and "redirecting" ball carriers, the philosophy preached by Washburn. It's about holding blocks and reading action in the offensive backfield, about pursuing ball carriers and opening lanes for linebackers and safeties.
The broader issue is whether Cox is a snug fit for another, more comprehensive change that could be coming in about a month or two. If Reid is fired and the next defensive staff chooses to implement the 3-4 front—which is currently run by 11 of the 32 NFL teams—Cox would logically move outside to defensive end.
Defensive ends in 3-4 schemes aren't usually as vital to generating pass rush as outside linebackers unless they're an exception to the rule, such as Houston's J.J. Watt—whose 16.5 sacks ranks second in the NFL—and San Francisco's Justin Smith, who had 7.5 sacks last year and finished as runner-up for the league's defensive player of the year.
Brasher hasn't seen much of Cox in person but he's been studying film on Eagles defensive linemen and has served as a consultant for the team since he retired as defensive line coach after the 2005 season. Brasher is already convinced that Cox could excel in any line formation.
"Oh, yeah. He can play any scheme," Brasher said. "He's a big, quick guy. He can play 3-4. He can play the scheme I'm teaching. He can play the scheme anyone teaches. He's got that much physical ability."
Brasher was re-asked what kind of 3-4 defensive end Cox could be. "A damn good one," he shot back.
Cox played some 4-3 end in college and has taken some reps there at practice with the Eagles. He has never actually played in a 3-4 front.
"I could. I know I can if I commit myself," he said. "I'd still be a rusher and all that. You've just got to get used to it, working with all that space. I don't think I'd have a problem with working in space."
Cox said at least 23 different NFL teams either interviewed him or worked him out during the pre-draft process, and many of them were teams that ran the 3-4 front. The only tackle drafted higher than him—Dontari Poe, out of Memphis, who was selected 11th overall—went to Kansas City, which employs the 3-4.
The Eagles had Cox in their sights from the start. At the time, they picked 15th. Once the Chiefs tabbed Poe, the Eagles seized the opportunity to trade up three spots with Seattle and make Cox their man. They called him the perfect complement to Washburn's attack scheme.
Cox said he "was a little surprised" Monday upon hearing of Washburn's firing and he "kind of got a little sad," but by no means does he expect his production to drop just because Brasher's schemes are fundamentally different.
"No, it (doesn't) take away from me being a gap-shooting tackle," he said. "Playing the under defense, I don't think it'll take it away. You've got to have the want-to, no matter what kind of defense you play in."

Joining Andy and Bob each week are our industry experts and influencers who help break down what you need to know when it comes to your 401(k), the markets and economy, retirement income sources and avoiding financial advice that's not in your best interests.
Andy Smith, CFP®, has worked as a financial advisor for nearly 15 years and has helped thousands of investors navigate a variety of markets to achieve their long-term financial and retirement goals. Through his years of on-the-ground interactions, he's forged an understanding of what investors need and want – not just from their accounts but from their relationships with an advisor. Luckily, Andy's advising doesn't stop in the office. He's spent more than a decade on the local and national airwaves guiding listeners toward all of their investment and retirement goals – all while offering clear and actionable advice on everything from personal finance and investing to the economy. Between his roles as an advisor and radio-show host, Andy's spare time is limited, but what little he does have he enjoys spending with his wife and children – he's able to volunteer at the children's school, and the family travels the world together. Andy considers himself on-call 24/7 and is excited to help you achieve your financial and retirement goals – and, quite possibly, learn something cool and have fun in the process.
Bob Richards represents the voice of the everyday investor by asking the questions that are on the minds of listeners. Until recently, Bob has been a self-proclaimed do-it-yourself investor and admits to having learned some valuable financial lessons by making mistakes just like everyone else. Because he's not an investment advisor, he knows all too well the challenges that investors face and is ready to use his own real-life experience to help listeners avoid similar pitfalls. Bob has been in the radio industry for over 30 years and is an award-winning radio programmer. Bob and Andy have known each other for almost a decade as their paths have crossed in the radio world. Off the air, Bob is an avid runner, reader and Colts fan. He lives in Indianapolis with his family.

The Ventura County Wine Trail brings the 6th annual Wine Trail Celebration to Ventura County, June 20th, 2013. This year, the festival will be held at The Collection Riverpark's outdoor event center – West Ventura County's newest shopping, dining and entertainment destination.

This year, the festival will feature more than 17 of Ventura County's local boutique wineries; each sharing their latest releases.

This allows Ventura County Wine Trail tasters to experience the very best of California wine county – all without the road trip. This event will boast more than 30 different varietals and blends, and provide an opportunity to meet the wine makers behind them.
In addition to the lineup of wines, guests will taste the very best in local cuisine – fresh from the area's hottest restaurants. Chefs prepare their signature dishes onsite for attendees to enjoy over the three hour festival. In previous years, attendees have been treated to inspired culinary creations – such as Black & Blue Filet, Poached Salmon with dill cream sauce and Lamb Burgers.
This year's special musical guests are local favorites, The Shoemakers Brothers. Musicians and fans alike declare this band to be one of the best live acts they have ever heard or seen. The Brothers astound audiences by switching instruments, as they perform; they are all classically trained on string instruments, they all sing lead vocals and harmonies, and they all play guitar, piano, drums and bass.
Admission price includes wine and food, live music by The Shoemaker Brothers, souvenir wine glass and parking. Also, it is important to note that a portion of each ticket sold is going to the Ventura FOOD Share; a local food bank that provides food to the hungry of Ventura County.
