Pick up the iPad with Retina display and suddenly, it's clear. You're actually touching your photos, reading a book, playing the piano. Nothing comes between you and what you love. That's because the fundamental elements of iPad - the display, the processor, the cameras, the wireless connection - all work together to create the best possible experience. And they make iPad capable of so much more than you ever imagined.
The A6X chip inside iPad is the most powerful mobile chip yet. It delivers up to twice the CPU and graphics performance of the A5X chip. And it makes iPad feel faster and even more responsive. Apps launch instantly and run smoothly. Graphics-intensive games are fluid and lifelike on the gorgeous Retina display. And with improved image signal processing built into the A6X chip, the photos and videos you take with the 5-megapixel iSight camera look sharper and even more Retina worthy.
FaceTime on iPad puts you face-to-face - even when you're miles apart. You can make a video call over Wi-Fi, so if you're out and about, your friends and family are never out of the loop. And now with the FaceTime HD camera, everyone can get an even better view of you and what's around you. You can also use it for taking self-portraits or recording 720p HD video.
iPad is sleek, beautiful, and engineered to handle life on the go - thanks in large part to the aluminum unibody. By consolidating many parts into one, everything becomes less complex and far more precise. The result is an iPad that's thin, light, and durable enough for the ins and outs of everyday life.
The Wi-Fi capabilities built into iPad keep you connected faster than ever - up to twice as fast as any previous-generation iPad. With dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) 802.11n Wi-Fi and support for channel bonding, download speeds can reach up to 150 Mbps. Translation: many of the things you do every day may start to feel a whole lot faster.

"Our analysis reveals the high cost caused by pollution from power stations and other large industrial plants," Professor Jacqueline McGlade, EEA Executive Director, said.
"The estimated costs are calculated using the emissions reported by the facilities themselves. By using existing tools employed by policy-makers to estimate harm to health and the environment, we revealed some of the hidden costs of pollution. We cannot afford to ignore these issues", added Professor McGlade.
The industrial facilities covered by the analysis include large power plants, refineries, manufacturing combustion and industrial processes, waste and certain agricultural activities. Emissions from power plants contributed the largest share of the damage costs (estimated at €66–112 billion). Other significant contributions to the overall damage costs came from production processes (€23–28 billion) and manufacturing combustion (€8–21 billion). Sectors excluded from the EEA analysis include transport, households and most agricultural activities – if these were included the cost of pollution would be even higher.
Figure 1. Locations of the 191 E-PRTR facilities that contributed 50 % of the total damage costs estimated in 2009
The report uses publicly-available data from the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR). The analysis builds on existing policy tools and methods, such as the methods developed under the EU's Clean Air for Europe (CAFE) programme. Based on the different methodologies, it calculates a range of estimated damage costs arising from air pollutant releases reported by nearly 10 000 individual facilities to the E‑PRTR.
The pollutants examined are regional air pollutants (NH3, NOx, PM10, SO2, volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs)), heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury and nickel), organic micropollutants (benzene, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and dioxins & furans), and CO2.
Certain aspects of harm to health and the environment are excluded from the scope of this study, such as the health and safety aspects associated with occupational exposure to air pollutants. For regional air pollutants for example, the model framework underpinning the assessment should be extended in the future to include aspects such as a valuation of ecological impacts and acid damage to culturally significant buildings and monuments. The recognised benefits of industrial facilities, including manufacturing products, employment and tax revenues, are not addressed in the report.
Figure 2. Cumulative distribution of the 2 000 E-PRTR facilities with the highest damage costs
It is important to note that the report does not assess whether the emissions from industrial facilities included in the E-PRTR are consistent with the legal permitting conditions for the operation of these plants.
The EEA has recently released a number of other publications addressing various aspects of air pollution in Europe. These include:
Only 25 % of household waste in Greenland is delivered to recycling stations, so the EEA hopes its new film will inspire residents, in particular youth and children in Greenland and across the Arctic region to change their behaviour. The film will also be supplemented with some educational material for schoolchildren.
The 12 minute film was introduced by EEA Executive Director Prof. Jacqueline McGlade, and Hon. Anthon Frederiksen, Minister of Domestic Affairs, Nature and Environment in Greenland.
Sound waste management in remote areas like the Arctic is always going to be costly. Large-scale modern waste management systems cannot just be copied wholesale from elsewhere in Europe or North America. Greenland, with its harsh natural environment and dispersed population requires unique solutions tailored to the country's context.
Because the huge distances and costs involved, much of the waste in Greenland has been (and in many cases continues to be) tipped into landfills just outside city or settlement limits. And without waste separation, household waste is often mixed with more hazardous waste types like batteries, leftover paint, nail polish or other chemicals.
These hazardous materials can affect the health of the local population when they enter the air through incineration or seep out of landfills which often lack protective layers to avoid leakage. Chemicals can seep down towards the coastal waters where Arctic people catch the fish, shrimp and sea mammals which make up a large part of their diet.
However, there are also some positive stories. For example, 99 % of all plastic and glass bottles used on the west coast of Greenland are returned to recycling plants, making country an inspiring example to the rest of the world.
The film considers this complex situation, proposing solutions which allow Greenlanders to manage waste without damaging their natural environment. Greenland is famous for its awe-inspiring natural landscapes, but this environment is extremely fragile, making the case for better waste management even more urgent.
The film is available in English, Danish and Greenlandic language versions.
Amongst the main drivers are energy production and use. Practically all of the anthropogenic emissions to air are energy-related. The excess emissions of the greenhouse gases are commonly seen as the cause of climate change that is a major environmental challenge. The impacts of the climate change are numerous and overarching. The Finnish National Adaptation Strategy[1] describes the impacts of climate change in the following sectors: agriculture and food production, forestry, fisheries, reindeer husbandry, game management, water resources, biodiversity, industry, energy, traffic, land use and communities, building, health, tourism and recreation, and insurance. The strategy describes the present sensitivity to climate change, and outlines actions and measures to improve the capacity to adapt to future climate change. The strategy aims at reducing the negative consequences and taking advantage of the opportunities associated with climate change. On the global scale, some of the predicted impacts of climate change, especially if the global temperature rises more than two degrees, would be very dramatic.
Transport contributes to several environmental pressures. It causes greenhouse gas emissions and other emissions to air that deteriorate the local air quality. Excess noise caused by the traffic affects many people. The transport infrastructure results in fragmentation of natural areas and in soil sealing. The materials for production of cars, trains and other vehicles as well as the fuel used in the vehicles consume natural resources.
Energy use is also related to the industrial production. The energy intensity has been improving, especially in forest industry, but is still relatively high compared to other European countries. Other factors affecting the energy use are the long distances and urban sprawl, which increase the transport demand, and the need of heating during the wintertime.
The energy sector will be affected by the measures to mitigate climate change. The use of renewable energy will be increased. Often the renewable energy sources are domestic and this will probably induce a growth in the area used for biofuels and in the transport demand. Furthermore, an increased use of wind power demands careful land-use planning.
Agriculture and forests contribute to the climate change through emissions of greenhouse gases but soil and vegetation are also significant stocks of carbon. The number of farms has nearly halved since 1990 and was 66 938 in 2007[2]. At the same time, the average size of arable land of farms has increased. Combined with the intensification of agricultural practices, the changes in farm structure may compromise the biodiversity. The share of organic farming has recently slightly decreased and is now about 6 % of arable area. Agriculture is one of the sources of nutrients causing eutrophication of the waters.
Depending on the definition, forest land covers 66–73 % and the total forestry area about 78 % of Finland's land area. Forests provide a number of vital ecosystem services including their functioning as carbon sinks. According to the latest National Forest Inventory (NFI) the net sequestration capacity of Finnish forests has nearly doubled during the last 20 years and in 2008 it was 42 million tonnes CO2. According to a recent report[3] by FAO, in Finland the carbon stock in living forest biomass is 832 million tonnes in 2010, which is one of the highest carbon stocks amongst European countries.
Both agriculture and forestry play a role in the land use changes. According to the Corine Land Cover surveys, most of the changes in land use between 2000 and 2006 in Finland are due to forest management, i.e. forest cuttings and re-growth make 91 % of the area of all changes that in turn correspond to about 2.1 % of Finland's land area. Approximately 3 500 km2 of forest has changed into transitional woodland/shrubs and conversely nearly 3 000 km2 new forest has emerged.
Only 1 % of the detected changes are due to the increase in built-up land while establishment of new agricultural areas makes almost 7 % of the changes. The major part of the new agricultural areas is converted from old peat production areas.
Climate change and the measures and activities to adapt to and mitigate climate change will have significant environmental and societal effects (see section Foreseen main developments below)[4].
Consumer behaviour and consumption patterns affect environmental pressures in many ways. Some of the driving forces related to the consumption are the general economic situation and the economic circumstances of citizens, households, and enterprises. In 2008, the average disposable income of a household in Finland was EUR 37 657, about a third higher than in 1990[5]. In addition to economic factors, societal and cultural changes affect households. From 1966 to 2001 the number of households in Finland increased from 1 385 000 to 2 382 000, and this increase has continued steadily[6]. At the same time, the average number of persons per household has decreased from 3.34 to 2.15. The age structure of the population[7] affects the household structure and number as well as the services the households will use. The old-age dependency ratio is expected to be the highest in EU around 2020–2030 and after around 2035 it will be below the EU average[8].

Important sources of air pollution are road traffic, energy production, industry and shipping. With respect to PM10, the main cause of high concentrations is road-wear particles generated by the use of studded tyres. Shipping has a major impact on both the concentration and deposition of nitrogen and sulphur and thereby affects water, air and land environments. Twenty-five percent of the atmospheric fallout of nitrogen over the Baltic Sea comes from international shipping. To a large extent, long-distance transport impacts ozone concentrations.
The concentrations of particulates (PM2.5) are affected by exhaust emissions and long-range transboundary pollution. In South Sweden more than 50 % of the anthropogenic PM2.5 present in ambient air monitored in regional background originates from sources outside Sweden. Despite the low concentrations, it is important that measures be implemented, both nationally and internationally, so that the population's exposure to PM2.5 diminishes to improve citizens' health. It has not been possible to establish a threshold under which no health effects arise.

Some Curves/Average Height
G'day, I LOVE these sandals in bone!! True to size and photo is accurate too. Shoes really suit my foot and they will go with everything! I bought a size 8.5 and for me, it was the perfect fit. I got a great price too, with a coupon code. They took a long time to get here to Australia, but worth the wait. The only thing I did not like was the shoe surcharge now added to the purchase price. So beware of that.Overall, a great quality shoe which smells good and very flat, but feels light on! The sole has a better grip, much better than past DV shoes I have bought. Hope this helps others.Thanks Revolve!Come on eveyone, do us a favour and add your reviews to the products you buy!! :)

Stefan Batista, 24
A Floridian basks in the cold.
Chicago and Wabash Avenues
With a name like Stefan Batista, you should be a dictator. Oh, well, thank you! My grandfather is from Portugal, my father is from Italy, and my mother is French-Canadian.
Quite a lineage. What are you up to? I'm in town from Florida assisting a photographer for some shoots for an auction house. I have a map plotted down with all the churches I want to visit. Right now, I'm just doing quick sketches in my book of buildings and people on the subway. I'm feeling inspired. The first night I was here, a lady was passed out on the train, so I started drawing her. I coughed, and she woke up and caught me in the act. She was like, "What, are you drawing me?" I said, "Yeah, is that all right?" She was like, "Fuck no, that's not all right!" It's nice to be in a big city.
Did you own a winter coat before coming here? I had to buy one. The cold is a novelty to me. I'm fascinated by snowdrifts. When it snows, everyone's like, "Ugh, fuckin' snow." I'm like, "This is awesome!" I don't see it—ever.
Ever been in a snowball fight? I had a to-do list when I arrived, and one of the items was to throw a snowball at a complete stranger, which I achieved. I thought it would be a good conversation starter, but I got a swift "Fuck you!" I was like, "I love Chicago!" [Laughs]
You're making friends all over town. A lot of people think that Chicagoans are somewhat more laid-back than New York people. Well, I lived in New York and I don't think that's necessarily true. Everyone's cold and angry.

DECC has seen an increased interest in biomass
Other articles in this category...
Further consultations to renewable energy support levels have been announced by government. The Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) will be engaging with industry on subsidy levels for large scale PV shortly. New evidence from the Renewable Obligation (RO) consultation suggests that Feed-in-Tariff rates as proposed in the consultation were too generous.
The RO consultation also alerted DECC to an increased interest in biomass generation. It said: "We will be consulting soon on a monitoring and review process for biomass co-firing and conversions to ensure effective cost control and on a supplier cap for dedicated biomass generation."

Arc'teryx Down Technology
As part of our Fall/Winter 2013 collection, we have introduced new down technologies that extend our range of insulation offerings. For centuries, people have been using goose down in the pursuit of lightweight thermal comfort. Yet, in the current world of high performance outdoor garments, the challenge has been integrating the high warmth of down insulation into technical waterproof apparel without compromising the integrity of either component.
To alleviate this problem, we implemented our new Down Composite Mapping (DCM) technology, placing synthetic insulation in the areas most subject to moisture – hood and collar, under the arms, and at the hemlines – thus protecting the down and targeting its warmth toward the body's core and shoulders.
For the construction of waterproof and breathable down pieces, we developed a patent-pending system called Down Contour Construction (DCC) to integrate down into laminated waterproof/breathable technologies. DCC preserves the seam-sealed integrity of a waterproof shell by using an inner fiber fill (Coreloft) jacket, overlaid with a layer of down. Attached inside the shell, the fiber fill liner adds extra thermal value and protects the down from any condensation that may form inside the shell.
Two new construction technologies, one thermal benefit, many applications. The Thorium AR and Cerium LT jackets use DCM and two different down weights for alpine environments. The new Andessa and Macai jackets are designed for skiing and snowboarding, using both DCM and DCC for the full benefit of warmth plus complete weather protection. For urban wear, the new Patera Parka and Parsec Coat deliver the rich comfort of technical down into everyday winter living.

Is there a way to expand the list of birthdays on Facebook? I use to notice people's birthdays because their names and birthday were listed. Facebook has moved the list up the page, condensed it, and only shows today's birthdays. Is there any way to at least show upcoming birthdays and the persons' birth date?
A Birthday is an event so Facebook treats it like one. Go to the sidebar and select In the sublist click They will be displayed by Based on privacy you will either get just the date or the date and how old is the individual.

It appears that there is no way to do this. | |||
Feb 2012: When you click on Events, you get any upcoming birthdays listed, followed by any upcoming events.

Stephen Covey, author of many best-selling books—including his most famous work, "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" (RosettaBooks, 2nd edition, 2009), died at the age of 79 on July 16. While his book, first published in 1990, was written well before the age of social media, I have found his tenets, as a principle-centered approach to solving personal and professional challenges, to be highly relevant in the development of a fully formed and highly effective corporate social media strategy. To outline how to apply Covey's Seven Habits to social media strategy, I have rearranged them from their original order to demonstrate how they best apply today.
- Begin with the end in mind. Social media is a hot topic within companies today. It is tempting to jump right in and figure it out as you go. But like any part of your business strategy, you must think through how social media channels will enable you to achieve your given business objectives. In thinking about your end-game at the beginning, your social media investments will serve your strategic goals with greater clarity of purpose. No doubt you'll learn a lot along the way, but at least you'll know where you desire to end up before starting on your journey.
- Seek first to understand, then to be understood. Traditional business communications has long employed the interruption model to get messages in front of target audiences. But social media is about engaging with your audience in relevant ways within the circles in which they travel. An important early step in your journey should be to employ social media listening tactics to get an understanding of the types of conversations taking place about your market and brand and with others topics of interest to your company. Tools you can use to listen range from very simple ones, like Google Reader, to more robust tools such as HootSuite, and on up to wide-net tools such as Radian6 and others.
- Think win-win. Authenticity and transparency are the watchwords within social media. Push communications are less effective here. Think about the value you can provide others, and how you can mine their contributions to add value to yours. Thinking win-win from the outset can help you avoid some common traps in applying broadcast thinking to the social media sphere.
- Put first things first. The social media world is full of tempting "shiny objects" begging for your time, attention and resources. Thinking about your end-game helps you prioritize and stay on track with your strategy. Get some early wins, learn and expand, rather than diluting your efforts too early in the game by reacting to every new tool or social outlet that comes along.
- Be proactive. Things happen quickly in social media. In some cases, social media time means minutes, not days. Be proactive about how you work within social media by thinking through your triage process. Be prepared to respond to issues, both positive and negative, in very quick fashion.
- Synergize. Social media is a communication channel that allows you to develop and share content in many forms and formats. To maximize your resources, think holistically about all pieces of content you develop to fully exploit them via various channels. If you create a whitepaper, for example, have one of your experts record the highlights of the paper for your YouTube channel. Repurpose the key points in a guest blog entry. Offer the paper up as a call to action in an email campaign—and so on. Synergize your content for maximum impact and return.
- Sharpen the saw. The great thing about the social media space is that people are very open to sharing, connecting and building on each other's thoughts and ideas. Keep your saw sharp by constantly learning new ways to leverage this brave new world, to advance your strategy and to serve your audiences with differentiated and relevant content that benefits them as well.

First They Fired The Nurses And Librarians, Then They Fired The Guidance Counselors
Photo of kids in Southwest Philadelphia in the last days of this summer before school, by Paul Sableman.
Last week, as the 2013 school year officially began, Philadelphia's schools faced a $304 million budget shortfall. Also: the teachers' union contract has expired, 24 schools closed over the summer, and—to boot!—more than 2,100 school employees were laid off. And then it was time for approximately 134,000 students to go back to school.
Students at 115 of the district's 212 public schools will not have access to a full-time guidance counselor this year. Many won't have a full-time nurse. Some will have workbooks only if their teachers are [...]

Yet now they flock there by the hundreds - to swim with whale sharks, the world's largest fish. Whale sharks are lured to the Tan-awan coastline of the Oslob district by fishermen who hand-feed them small shrimp, drawing divers and snorkellers to see the gentle giants of the sea.

Word In Stone-Robot Stories review
Another indie science fiction film, I stumbled upon this one when listening to an interview on NPR with writer/director Greg Pak. This is an anthology film, with four stories about Artificial Intelligence in different forms and how it affects our relationships.
The first, and my favorite, is Robot Baby. In this future setting, before couples can have a baby, they must go through an "evaluation" period. They are given a robot baby by the evaluation agency. For a month, they care for this baby like they would a human child. It needs to eat, needs to be changed, needs to sleep, needs attention and love, etc. And it's personality and interaction will develope over that month, depending on it's internal variables and depending on it's parents and other external factors, like a real child. The father seems a natural, and is ready for it. The mother, on the other hand, didn't have the warmest of families, and finds herself emotionally running into walls, especially when her husband has to leave town for a week, leaving her alone with the robot baby. The second story is called The Robot Fixer. A mother estranged from her son tries reaching out to him, now comatose and dying, by reconstructing his toy robot collection. Oh, the cool part is that the toys used, though they aren't called that, are childhod favs of mine, the Micronauts. After that is Machine Love. Greg Pak plays iPerson Archie, an android office assistant, newly arrived to his place of work. The humans there seem awkward around him, bouncing between making fun of him and staring at him awkwardly. Archie seems to not notice all this, just dilligently doing his work. But then, he notices another android, a female, in the office building across the street. She notices him, too. Archie becomes determined to meet her. The last story is called Clay. An elderly sculptor is approaching his dying day. His long dead lady love exists as a digital recreation on a network. He has the option of joining her in that digital domain after his death. But...will he? Imaginative science fiction filmmaking, much better than the far more expensive I, Robot,which would in itself had been better, if it had stuck closer to the Asmiov original material. Not a bad film, pretty good, in fact, but when it comes to the imaginative exploration of such ideas, Robot Stories delivers much more on a fraction of the budget. Check it out. |

Archaeology Student Colloquium Members 2011-12
The Archaeology Student Colloquium looks to to provide a venue for Archaeology Majors and other students interested in Archaeology to engage the discipline in a more complete fashion than is possible only in the classroom by disseminating information about relevant field research opportunities and graduate schools, sponsoring campus events such as lectures by scholars from other institutions, organizing field trips to archaeological sites, museums, and other relevant events and institutions, and d) holding regular meetings at which members and other interested parties can discuss current issues and debates in the discipline. The Colloquium also looks to foster greater unity among the members (students and faculty) and coherence as a major than is often possible in Interdisciplinary Programs that lack a specific physical home in a particular department and to encourage a more thorough understanding of the full range of activities involved in becoming a professional by means of attending regional and national meetings at which members can meet a cross-section of the Archaeological community and present the results of their own research.

Hunt widens for suspected Calif. killer, abductor
LAKESIDE, Calif. (AP) — Amber Alerts expanded to Oregon and Washington as authorities searched for a Southern California man suspected of abducting a 16-year-old girl and wanted in the death of the girl's mother and possibly her 8-year-old brother.
Oregon state police said there was a possible sighting of James Lee DiMaggio's blue Nissan Versa in northeast California near Alturas on Wednesday, followed by another about 50 miles along the same highway near Lakeview, in south-central Oregon.
Investigators have said DiMaggio may be headed to Texas or Canada with 16-year-old Hannah Anderson and possibly her 8-year-old brother Ethan, though investigators said a charred body discovered along with the mother could be the boy.
Also Wednesday, a friend of Hannah Anderson said DiMaggio told Hannah he had a crush on her and would date her if they were the same age.
DiMaggio explained that he didn't want the girls to think he was weird in an effort to defend himself after noticing they exchanged glances, 15-year-old Marissa Chavez said. She said he spoke while driving them home from a high school gymnastics meet a couple months ago.
Hannah Anderson asked Chavez to join her from then on whenever DiMaggio, 40, drove her to meets.
"She was a little creeped out by it. She didn't want to be alone with him," Chavez said.
DiMaggio was like an uncle to Hannah and 8-year-old Ethan. He was very close with their parents for years.
On Sunday night, authorities found the body of 42-year-old Christina Anderson when they extinguished flames at DiMaggio's rural home. A child's body was found as they sifted through rubble in Boulevard, a tiny town 65 miles east of San Diego on the U.S.-Mexico border.
The child's body has not been identified but it may be Ethan, sheriff's Lt. Glenn Giannantonio said late Tuesday.
Christina Anderson's father, Christopher Saincome, said Wednesday that his daughter visited DiMaggio's home last weekend to say goodbye before he moved to Texas. DiMaggio, who works as a telecommunications technician at The Scripps Research Institute in San Diego, was a regular presence at the Anderson family apartment in Lakeside, a suburb of 54,000 people.
"He must have had this planned," Saincome said.
Saincome said nothing seemed amiss when he called his daughter at work Friday to let her know she didn't call on his birthday. Anderson, a medical assistant, said she would call back that night but never did.
Investigators had no evidence that the relationship between DiMaggio and the missing girl was more than friendly.
"We're not looking into that directly at this point," Giannantonio said.
DiMaggio is wanted on suspicion of murder and arson in a search that began in Southern California and spread to Mexico and neighboring states.
DiMaggio's sister, Lora Robinson, told U-T San Diego that the allegations against her brother were "completely out of character." She said he spent four years in the Navy, left the service to care for her after their mother died of cancer, and volunteered rescuing animals.
"He is the kindest person in the world," Robinson said.
Protesters of Zimmerman acquittal march in California
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Protesters angered by the acquittal of George Zimmerman held largely peaceful demonstrations in three California cities, but broke windows and started small street fires in Oakland, according to police.
The gatherings Saturday night ranged from a few dozen to a few hundred people turning out to protest the verdict in the Florida courtroom over the death of Trayvon Martin, and police said some of the demonstrations continued into the early hours Sunday.
The Oakland police dispatch office said about 100 people protested and police were forced to deal with acts of vandalism, mainly breaking windows on businesses and starting small fires in the streets. As the protest wound down with the crowd dispersing, the office said that as of 2 a.m. PDT it had no word of any arrests.
Local media reports said some Oakland marchers vandalized a police squad car and police formed a line to block the protesters' path.
Fire north of LA forces nearly 3,000 from homes
LANCASTER, Calif. (AP) — Nearly 3,000 people from some 700 homes are under evacuation orders as a wildfire north of Los Angeles kept growing, feeding on old, dry brush, some of which hadn't burned in decades.
The blaze had burned about 35 square miles in the mountains and canyons of the Angeles National Forest, destroying at least six homes and damaging 15 more.
The fire, which was 20 percent contained, was fueled in part by chaparral that was "extremely old and dry" and hadn't burned since 1929, U.S. Forest Service Incident Commander Norm Walker said Sunday at a news conference.
It was spreading fastest into unoccupied land, but populated areas about 50 miles north of downtown LA remained in danger, with more than 2,800 people and 700 homes under evacuation orders that were expected to last until late Monday or Tuesday in the communities of Lake Hughes and Lake Elizabeth, sheriff's Lt. David Coleman said.
It appeared to be the fiercest of several burning in the West, including two in New Mexico, where thick smoke covered several communities and set a blanket of haze over Santa Fe. Crews fighting the two uncontained wildfires focused Sunday on building protection lines around them, hoping predicted storms could bring moisture to help reduce the intensity of the fires.
In Southern California, about 2,100 firefighters were taking on the wildfire, aided by water-dropping aircraft, including three helicopters expected to stay aloft through the night.
"We're putting everything that we have into this," Walker said.
The cause of the fire was under investigation. Three firefighters had minor injuries, but no one else was hurt.
Winds of about 25 mph and gusting as high as 40 mph had created "havoc" for firefighters for much of Sunday, LA County Deputy Chief David Richardson said.
Propelled by the strong winds, the fire jumped an aqueduct into the west of Lancaster, officials said.
Nightfall brought some weather relief, and firefighters hope they could take advantage of it.
"It is cooling off," Forest Service spokesman Nathan Judy said. "The winds have died down, at least compared to earlier."
In a report early Monday, fire officials said that the blaze was holding and no new evacuations or road closures were immediately foreseen.
At least six homes had burned to the ground, and 15 more were scorched by flames, LA County fire Chief Daryl L. Osby said.
George Ladd, 61, said among them was a cabin at Lake Hughes his family had owned since 1954, but sold just last week. He said he expected it may go up in flames sooner.
"We had always worried about that thing going off like a bomb," Ladd said.
He walked through the ashes of his former cabin and the other destroyed homes Sunday.
"All of them are nothing," he said by phone from his home in nearby Palmdale later Sunday night. "A few scraps, a few pieces of wood with nails sticking out, but mostly just broken up concrete."
Mark Wadsworth, 64, said he was confident his house in Lake Elizabeth survived. He spent Sunday parked in his truck atop a ridge, watching plumes of smoke rise from the canyons below.
"I've got nowhere to go, so I'm just waiting for them to open the roads again and let me back in," Wadsworth said.
In New Mexico, a fire burning in Santa Fe National Forest 25 miles from Santa Fe had grown to nearly 12 square miles by Sunday evening, causing thick smoke to cover parts of Gallinas Canyon and Las Vegas, N.M.
The fire near the communities of Pecos and Tres Lagunas had prompted the evacuations of about 140 homes, most of them summer residences.
Crews also cleared out campgrounds and closed trailheads in the area as they worked to prevent the fire from moving toward the capital city's watershed and more populated areas.
Another New Mexico blaze, the Thompson Ridge fire near Jemez Springs, grew to nearly 3 square miles.
Forty to 50 homes that were evacuated late last week remained so on Sunday.
Forestry service officials say neither blaze and destroyed any homes, but one house suffered minor damage.
For California evacuees, the Red Cross opened centers in Lancaster and Palmdale, where about 150 residents awaited word on when they could return home.
A huge plume of smoke could be seen from much of northern Los Angeles County, and air-quality officials warned against strenuous outdoor activity.
The blaze broke out Thursday just north of Powerhouse No. 1, a hydroelectric plant near the Los Angeles Aqueduct.
The wilderness area is a draw for boaters, campers and hikers. Crews and residents were being warned to keep an eye out for rattlesnakes and bears that could be displaced by flames.
Evacuations remained in effect for several campgrounds and two youth probation camps. Several roads and trails were closed.
US tests a new intercontinental missle
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AP) - The U.S. Air Force has launched an unarmed intercontinental ballistic missile from a California base, a month after the test flight was postponed because of tensions with North Korea.
Vandenberg Air Force Base says the Minuteman 3 lifted off at 6:27 a.m. PDT Wednesday. It later splashed down thousands of miles away in the Pacific.
It's the first Minuteman test-launch of the year. Several Minutemans are launched each year at from Vandenberg to determine the weapon system's accuracy and reliability.
Officials say the original mid-April flight plan was delayed to avoid it being misconstrued by North Korea during a time of heightened tensions. It was rescheduled for Tuesday morning but was pushed back a day due to a problem with range safety instruments.
12-year-old prodigy youngest to compete in US Chess Championship to be held in St. Louis
A 12-year-old chess prodigy from California will make his next competitive move in St. Louis next month.
Tournament organizers say Samuel Sevian, of Santa Clara, is the youngest person ever to compete in the U.S. Championship to be held at the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis.
For a fifth year the Club is playing host to the U.S. Championship and the U.S. Women's Championship from May 3rd to 13th.
Tournament organizers say Samuel Sevian was just nine-years-old when he was named a "National Master." At the time, it made him the youngest person to achieve that title in U.S. chess history.
Search for fugitive ex-cop sets region on edge
Los Angeles police spokesman Gus Villanueva says the caller reported a sighting of 33 year old Christopher Dorner. Police were sent to the Northridge area but Villanueva later said a search of the Lowe's Home Improvement store yielded no evidence that Dorner was there or had been there.
News helicopters earlier showed police helping customers and employees leave the store. A command post was established nearby.
The search since Thursday evening had focused on mountains 80 miles east of Los Angeles where Dorner's burned truck was found. But authorities have found no recent signs of Dorner.
LA officials announced a $1 million reward earlier Sunday for information leading to Dorner's arrest.

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
The Colorado Springs Police Department responded to a call for a burglary in progress. It was just before noon on Tuesday.
According to police, a black man, believed to be 33-years-old, approached the upstairs apartment at 920 Mt. Werner Circle with a gun in hand. There were three adults and a three year old child in the apartment at the time.
According to investigators' preliminary information, the suspect was not known to the residents. They said a struggle happened and the suspect was stabbed and ran out of the apartment. Investigators said a neighbor called 9-1-1 to saying the suspect was on the lawn near her apartment.
Officers had the suspect transported to Memorial Central for what were considered life threatening injuries.
Police said this is in the very early stage of the investigation. If anyone has information about this case please call (719) 444-7000. You may also call Crimestoppers at (719) 634-STOP. You do not have to give your name and could earn a cash reward.

I was working at a co-working place until this week when I decided to stop working there. The place is really cool, but they're focusing more on renters who are in startups or in startup mode or in the startup community... and I'm not really like that. Also, it was $200 a month and I had this nagging voice in my head that kept telling me that I could spend 6 months of rent on a new laptop instead.
The things I wanted out of a co-working space were:
Thus, I'm starting the Nomadic Telecommuting Herd (or "the herd" for short).
The premise behind it is that herd members build a schedule of places we're "grazing" at. If you want to join a herd that day, so be it. Primarily we'd graze at peoples' apartments/houses/whatever and telecommuter-friendly establishments (cafes, coffee shops, libraries, ...). Chris points out that there are a lot of wifi hot-spots, so it shouldn't be hard to find places to congregate at. This herd will be in the Cambridge/Somerville area of Massachusetts.
If you're interested, check out the web-site and hop on
in #herd
. If the group gets
too big, we'll split into smaller herds either focusing on geography,
common interests, hair color or something along those lines.

Best swingers party ever
Posted on February 10th, 2011 by supernova
Best swingers party as soon as it was dark enough free swingers stories slipped over the hedge and with a racing pulse crept into the bushes in the back garden. All the upstairs lights were out and he could only see into the kitchen and dining room downstairs. Mr Arnold came to the window and drew the curtains leaving the garden in darkness so stealthily free swingers stories crept to peep in the curtain gap. His heart jumped sitting on the settee was Mrs Arnold and she looked ravishing: she had long leather black boots with a short black skirt and leather belt which shone on her slim waist and held it in tightly, her cleavage was clearly prominent supported by an uplift black bra under her tight fitting white top.
