-- General David Petraeus -- the counterinsurgency in Afghanistan that many say turn the war around.
Certainly in Iraq.
My next guest was embedded with general got to see first and the struggles and frustrations he faced dealing with the war on terror joining me now the author of all Leon the education -- General David Petraeus -- abroad well and follow up for volume also were in the military stand so this was after you read you're in the reserves.
I'm now in a reserve officer mr.
-- and but this was.
Kind of after year active duty period.
That's correct -- I was on active duty for five years and left death active duty in moments later one months later 9/11 happened -- -- got recalled.
In voluntarily somewhat but very happily once I got there because that the war on terror is really sort of dampen their -- Purpose for all of us -- -- you know focused on something very real the real imminent threat.
Says he recalled to active duty three times in -- into the inactive ready reserve and nine in the actors there.
OK so you are that you wanted to get a plug it used the proceeds are going of this yet are going to.
The proceeds of a majority of the proceeds are going to a group called team red white and blue.
Which is a veteran support organization that helps wounded warriors especially those with invisible wounds like post dramatic stress disorder traumatic brain injury and so forth to.
Find their new normal to reintegrate into society.
Others an epidemic problem going on with that veteran community right now those who served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Approximately half million veterans that's a large portion of our society.
Are suffering from this and -- clinically diagnosed at VA they're probably more than -- coming forward because there's a negative stigma attached to it that.
I feel like it's our turn to give back to them if they've given us so much in these work hours in the past and what.
What why this were -- than others not what was the difference we should appreciate all -- intervention yourself and I think here -- for your service and news veterans and in troopers who served and in previous wars have gone through this as well but and I'm trying to help my generation and give backing I I saw.
Up up front and personal at some of those guys are dealing with the burdens of command to near the heavy ruck -- and seeing their their friends and colleagues dismembered and more.
And having to deal with and having to managing their families that -- stressed out about this for years on and so are children.
So you so you how you get to know the general and and he's a big guy that loves to mentor people young officers like -- -- so how.
You go out you follow this guy everybody says all of this man is such of the leveraging his oldest man is seen do we -- things that nobody else has ever done.
For true.
He is credit genius in -- because I think he's able to balance so many different income levels of thinking -- -- can look at the strategy can look at diplomacy.
And he can manage 49 coalition partners in a war but he can also be very aware what's going on in the ground situation -- he has this ability to sort of transcend all those levels.
I don't think all senior military officers -- There are many -- to do but I don't think Austin happened but but the military is -- for good reason it's fair restructured.
In one man can't change.
That structured I believe that does sound like he had well that's how the solar research project started I was reading my doctoral dissertation in it was a look at how maverick when -- from within the organization can galvanize institutional transformation.
In so I was looking at him as a case study and had other historical case studies that.
What was his role and and galvanizing -- doctrinal change organizational change leadership development change and so forth I think -- a lot to do with that.
-- he inspires a generation of of young -- soldier scholar diplomats young officers to.
Think that you know -- -- it could be something they like to deal whereas in the military typically wanted to follow certain.
Number of of operational jobs to get those you know stars and bars if you will I think he's shown that you can kind of have it -- and should get outside of your intellectual comfort zone.
To expand your horizons and be able to think like he doesn't you know.
All right let me let me bring up kind of untenable school and the -- -- Vietnam War changed the military Washington ran the military they told the military what to do in Vietnam.
Ever since then and this is when General Petraeus was coming out of West Point was after that and this is a point where -- -- -- There are people in this country that say the military.
Should be a warrior.
And go out and in crush things and break things and until people in and talker that's what the military is for -- -- not very -- Bill -- to plant flowers in and so.
This is a guidance is no no no we need this kind of touchy Feely PC and there's a lot of people say that's not for the military that's for the peace corps.
Well there's an old saying nice sensitive he who adopts fastest wins in the military -- -- at the organization has to adapt because enemies adapting.
If we're faced with an enemy who is you know trying to an hearts and minds of the population and it's incumbent on us that protect them and help them protect themselves eventually.
We need to have officers and soldiers that are willing and able to do that.
-- I think he believes and I believe myself having served -- this that our military needs to maintain readiness for full spectrum operations everything from a conventional more.
To cyber warfare in the other threats that are you know -- on the horizon to this type of counterinsurgency -- from.
Definitely not large scale boots on the ground in the future we seeing the cost in blood and treasure -- -- nation but it is something we're likely to face in future if you look at the trends in conflict.
That's another whole debate we can you do does show about that followed rod well thank you so much of book is very very interest and thank you -- Holland thanks for having.

Pancake breakfast kicks off Campus Community Appeal
The Campus Community Appeal kicked-off its 2010 campaign last
week with breakfast at Grant Hall.
"The annual breakfast is a significant campaign event offering members of the Queen's community an opportunity to come together to celebrate the people and the work they do here," said David McConomy, Campus Community Appeal Faculty Co-Chair.
Display booths at the breakfast highlighted some of the unique projects and initiatives that could benefit from support through the Appeal.
"The Appeal breakfast offers a nice, informal setting to talk with people from across the campus," said Paul Carl, Office Assistant at the Four Directions Aboriginal Student Centre, which offers programming and support to the university's Aboriginal community. "Not everyone has visited Four Directions, so this is one of the few opportunities we have to bring our centre to the Queen's community and really profile ourselves."
Again this year, faculty, staff and retirees can direct their donations to a specific department, faculty or initiative.
"Philanthropic support is very important to us; a large portion of our funding comes from donors, and even a small donation can be put towards a project to attract larger grants," said Kari Hurst, Coordinator, Administration and Special Projects at the Human Research Centre, which also had a display.
Donations also play a vital role in supporting the Ban Righ Foundation, which operates the Ban Righ Centre and supports mature women's education through bursaries, informal counseling and advocacy assistance. "Without support and donations like those we get through the Community Appeal, we wouldn't exist," said Karen Knight of the Ban Righ Centre.
The Campus Community Appeal is the major workplace fundraising campaign for Queen's and runs from February to April. For more information on the Appeal, or to become a volunteer go to www.queensu.ca/communityappeal

Comments about Super Premium Seconds 660 Connecticut 25ct Bundle:
Premium seconds 660 are a great cigar. I recently ordered a 25 count package of these cigars from BNB Tobacco. I've never purchased anything like this online, and I was interested to see how it would turn out. I usually buy my tobacco from a local shop. I buy lots of other things from the web, and I decided to give these cigars a try. The company made sure that they shipped my cigars out promptly as they said. It only took three days, and the cigars were at my door. The product description says that they're a top quality cigar that hails from Nicaragua. I was curious to see how these cigars smoked. I quickly poured myself a beer,and headed onto the balcony to try the product. It lit up and drew great. The smoke is deep, rich and satisfying. I truly enjoyed this product, though it may be a bit strong for my tastes.

This week will bring one of the most action-packed and entertaining times that Boca Grande has seen in quite awhile. It is the World's Richest Tarpon Tournament on May 23 and 24, the Gasparilla Island Kids Classic on May 25, and Tarpon Festival Weekend downtown.
Lew Hastings, the executive director of the Boca Grande Chamber of Commerce, is more than a little excited about the upcoming festivities. The chamber coordinates the WRTT, as well as the street festival.
"We have 27 boats in the tournament so far, but there are more entries still coming in," he said. "We're going to get some last-minute boats, and expect to exceed the 33 boats we had last year.
"But that's not the most exciting part. We have more entertainment planned at the street festival than we ever had before. We have probably tripled our sponsorship from last year, and with that being said, people have called us wanting to be involved. I didn't even have to seek them out. I think for the second year out since the hiatus, it's a significant change. This is going to be an even bigger and better year, and we're going to continue to build on this year after year.
"This is a true community event. We've had almost all the local businesses involved in this in some way ... and that means a lot to us. We couldn't do it without them."
Last year Capt. Willie Mills and his team on the Tracy Lynn took first place. Capt. Wayne Joiner and his team on Hey, Moma! took second and Team CCM Graphic and Capt. Matt Coleman took third.
On Wednesday, May 22 from 6 to 9:30 p.m., the WRTT Captain's Party will be held at the Coral Creek Airport. All captains and team leaders are asked to attend the meeting to review the rules and pick up tournament gear.
The first day of tournament action in Boca Grande Pass will begin on Thursday at 3 p.m. Fishing will continue until 7 p.m. On Friday, fishing will also take place from 3 to 7 p.m., and the awards party will be held at 8:30 p.m. in downtown Boca Grande, at the street festival.
View More images >>The street festival begins on Friday at 12 p.m. and will continue on that day until 10 p.m. Musical performances will be by the Trinity River Band, Alyssa Gregory and Colton James. James will bring a special guest with him, musician and songwriter Kim Tribble. James and Tribble will perform just after the awards ceremony.
Saturday's musical performances will be by the Boca Bande, Alyssa Gregory and the Grayson Rogers Band. There will also be a kid's carnival from 12 to 4 p.m. at the Boca Grande Community Center.
On both days Carroll Swayze's Boca Grande Invitational Art Festival will be held. It will include 65 of the best marine artists and craftsmen in the country, and has become a much-anticipated event for art connoisseurs.
Saturday will also bring the biggest kid's fishing tournament in the world, the third annual Gasparilla Island Kids Classic. Created and coordinated by Capt. Sandy Melvin of Gasparilla Outfitters fame, the tournament is held to make money for charitable causes and to allow the community's children to enjoy a world-class tarpon tournament of their own. This year, proceeds from the tournament will go to the Families First program at Moffitt Cancer Center, a program initiated to help parents and their children as they adjust to the changes that occur within the family when a parent has cancer. The music therapy program at All-Children's Hospital will also receive donations from the tournament. That program uses music to achieve specific goals in helping children and families cope with pain, stress, fear and just being in the hospital.
Last year's tournament raised more than $30,000 for Families First, which was a huge gift in the eyes of the children who benefit from that program.
So far, 24 boats are signed up.
The event will be filmed for the World Fishing Network, and the tournament will air on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. It will also be simulcast on WENG 107.5 FM, for those who wish to hear the tarpon fishing action live. World-class anglers Brent Chapman, Bobby Lane, Randy Howell and Aaron Martens will also be on hand to help with commentary and to cheer the kids on.
The awards ceremony will take place downtown at approximately 8 p.m.
Also, the chamber expects the new cameras at the Port Boca Grande Lighthouse to be up and running for all of the tournament action.
"Sandy Melvin's proceeds from the GIFT Tournament paid for the cameras, and the state gave permission for us to put the cameras on the historic lighthouse," Hastings said. "It's also great for watching sunsets."
Go to bocagrandechamber.com and look on the home page for the camera views.
For more information on the World's Richest Tournament or the street festival, call the chamber office at 964-0568. For more information on the Gasparilla Island Kids Classic, contact Gasparilla Outfitters at 964-0907.
On the web you can go to worldsrichesttarpon.com, or on Facebook search "Carroll Swayze's Boca Grande Invitational Art Festival," or "World's Richest Tarpon Tournament."
This is the second year that the Boca Grande Area Chamber of Commerce has coordinated the World's Richest tournament since their hiatus of seven years, during which time the Boca Grande Fishing Guides Association took over the tournament. The members of the BGFGA still assist with and participate in the tournament.

Really close to the action (3 mins.), yet quiet. Basic, clean accommodation good value for money. Definitely not a party hostel when I was there. Maybe more suited to a family or someone who wants to crash after clubbing at night. Staff friendly and helpful. Relatively small pool.

Brigus Gold Is A Junior With A Difference
Brigus Gold is on a roll into 2015If you are looking for a growing, junior gold miner, that makes profit, is growing it's margin, and resource base, while reducing overall costs of production, look no further than Brigus Gold. In Q3 Brigus produced a record 22,000 oz and is on track to exceed 100,000 oz production per year for the foreseeable future. Resource base has grown to over 2 million oz. In October drilling at the Black Fox Mine site hit a whopper of a result at 18.09 grams per ton over 39.60 meters, including 39.45 g/t over 10.35 meters. This, in an industry where 3g/t is considered mineable.
That result occurred only 2 weeks after hitting a previous whopper of 40.71 gpt Gold Over 26.75
Both if these occurred at Brigus's producing Black Fox Mine. At the same time they began hitting great results at their Grey Fox property as well.
Although headquartered in Halifax Nova Scotia, Brigus mines are situated in the Timmons Ontario gold district which has been one of the most prolific gold producing regions of the world for decades. Brigus is an anomaly in the junior gold space. Why? Because it has a working gold mine, it produces gold, is profitable and it is growing.
Brigus Gold Corp Today - .70c per share
Market Cap $167.8M Beta 0.98 Revenue (TTM) $144.1M EPS $0.10 Shares Out. 232.1M Book Value $1.05 Dividend Yield 0.00% P/E 7.4x Annual Dividend Rate $0.00 Price/Sales (TTM) 1.2 Ex-Div Date 1/1/01 P/Cash Flow (TTM) 2.7x Pay Date 1/1/01 Operating Margin 14.79% If you are in the market for a junior gold miner, you should consider Brigus Gold, before the share price catches fire, because I believe it surely will.
Hope you have great results with your Retirefunds.

Some Lithium Juniors Are Better Positioned Than Others
10 reasons to own Rodinia Lithium stock as the lithium market begins to heat up into 2014(click to enlarge)Rodinia Lithium (TSX RM)
Today .04cThere are always reasons to buy or sell a stock. Here are some solid reasons why Rodinia Lithium, currently a penny stock, is a good bet in the "second leg" of the lithium race.
1. Insiders are buying this stock.
2. Rodinia owns three of the top 25 lithium properties in the world.
3. Shan Shan Corp., one of the largest lithium battery suppliers in China, purchased their entire bought deal in Nov 2010, above the asking price, to ensure they are flush with cash to advance their properties.
4. Rodinia's top three properties are all brine properties, with low development costs, in two of the best mining districts in the world, Clayton Valley, Nevada and Salta Argentina (Diabillos). They are also listed in the top 25 lithium properties in the world today.
5. Byron Capital Markets Dr. Jon Hykaway, rated it a strong buy with a target of $2.25
6. Ubika Research issued a valuation report with a Price of $1.12 for Rodinia Lithium.
7. The top electric car company in the world today, Tesla Motors, has seen it's stock rise over 500% in 2013.
8. All major auto companies are either now producing electric cars, or have them on the drawing board.
9. Electric storage for power grids as well as wind and solar power projects is becoming a hot sector at this writing and lithium use in the batteries used in mobile devices is growing worldwide.
10. Rodinia's flagship property, diabillos, is advancing at a time and place where major players are already established and consolidation is only a matter of time.
(click to enlarge)Rodinia was trading recently at only .04 cents. RM.v or in the U.S. as OTCQX:RDNAF
It's market cap today is listed at $4M with 100M shares outstanding.
The book value is .23c and beta is at 2.75
Although this is a highly speculative stock, that is a ridiculously low valuation for Rodinia's lithium properties!
This does'nt even address the large potash concentrations which will be a secondary product for this small company.
Clayton Valley
Besides the Argentinian properties, Rodinia also has its lithium brine project in Clayton Valley, Nevada which is ajacent to the only lithium brine operation in the continental United States.For these reasons, I have been buying more Rodinia stock since summer 2013.
Maybe you should consider adding Rodinia Lithium to your speculative value portfolio.Wishing you great success with your Retirefund.
Analysis from The Energy Report Technical report on Clayton Valley, Nevada lithium propertyRay Goldie, Salman Partners (8/22/11) "We expect Rodinia Lithium Inc. to be able to surf on the strong, stable pricing structure of lithium that has been established and maintained by existing producers-beginning in 2016, Rodinia could be producing from Argentina about 2,000 tpa lithium (about 6% of the world's supply), with by-product potash. . .because both the revenues and costs in the lithium industry are not readily available, and because our evaluation of the company is based on educated guesswork rather than on sober engineering studies, we initiate coverage of Rodinia Lithium with a Speculative Buy recommendation rather than an outright Buy."
The Energy Report Interview with David Talbot (7/21/11) "Our top pick in the lithium sector is Rodinia Lithium, despite its $30M market cap. We've got a buy with a CAD$1 target price on this stock. RM continues to be one of the most undervalued stocks on our lithium coverage list. Rodinia is developing a brine project at its flagship Salar de Diablillos site in the Province of Salta, Argentina, about 11 km. from the world's second-largest producer, FMC's Salar del Hombre Muerto. It just reported a couple of pit samples that were about three times the average lithium grade of the deposit. Rodinia also has its Clayton Valley Project in Nevada adjacent to Chemetall's Silver Peak brine operation and the only U.S. producer of lithium. Given the company's significant resource in Argentina, good brine chemistry, lack of competition on the Salar and its three aquifers, we think now is a good entry point for investors looking to share in Rodinia's growth. Our target price suggests a triple from here."
David Talbot, Dundee Securities (7/13/11) "Rodinia released pit results from a sampling program at its flagship Salar de Diablillos project in Argentina. Results show grades that were, on average, substantially higher than previous estimates for the shallow aquifer number one. This is especially encouraging because two of the samples were taken from an area where close spaced auger sampling was not possible, and opens up a much larger area that might exhibit potentially higher grade lithium and potassium brine, and this has positive implications for resource growth and production potential. . .Rodinia's peer discount is unjustified. . .conservative lithium brine operation is compelling. . .it has an experienced management team, large brine resource, multiple projects in good jurisdictions and our valuation ignores potash or boron production upside potential."
David Talbot, Dundee Securities (6/9/11) "Rodinia Lithium is an emerging brine developer flying under the radar-it has several features going for it: its main project, Salar de Diablillos in Argentina, hosts one of the largest lithium-potash brine resources in the world, and it lies in close proximity to the third-largest brine producer in the world (FMC Lithium); its second project is underexplored and adjacent to the only lithium producer in the U.S. (Chemetall); it also has strategic investment from one of China's largest lithium-ion battery materials provider. . .our modest CAD$1 target price for RM suggests a triple-it is showing more upside potential than the more well-known brine developers."
The Energy Report Interview with Jonathan Lee (4/19/11) "Rodinia Lithium also has a brine deposit at its Salar de Diablillos project in Argentina. We have a Speculative Buy rating on it with a $2.25 target price. It's another example of fairly good chemistry and good, effective porosity levels. And the project is another that, potentially, could be a low-cost producer. It has a decent level of lithium grade, reasonable magnesium:lithium ratio and very attractive sulfate levels-that's another key. It has a lot of positive qualities. Rodinia has a strategic investor in Shanshan Resources, a wholly owned subsidiary of the largest battery manufacturer in China- Ningbo Shanshan. Some of Shanshan's partners have extensive experience doing brine chemistry in the Tibetan salars. Shanshan is a value-add for that company."

A 23-year-old East Side man was sent to prison today for shooting a woman as she sat peeling
potatoes in her living room nearly two years ago.
Regina Mitchell, 59, was preparing a late dinner when she was paralyzed from the chest down
in a hail of gunfire meant for her grandson.
She sat in a wheelchair today to see the shooter, Dasmine R. Swinson, plead guilty and
receive his sentence in Franklin County Common Pleas Court.
"I know it don't mean anything, but I'm sorry to the victim and her family and to my family,"
Swinson said before Judge Daniel T. Hogan sentenced him to 25 years in prison.
Swinson was right, Mitchell said after the hearing. The apology didn't mean anything.
"I don't believe he was sincere," she said. "I don't think he has a heart."
Swinson shook his head several times during the hearing as Assistant Prosecutors John
Graceffo and Michael Hughes detailed the charges against him, which included assaulting a fellow
inmate in the Franklin County jail after his arrest.
Graceffo said the shooting stemmed from an argument "over something stupid" between Swinson
and Mitchell's grandson, Devin Jackson, early in the evening of March 9, 2011. Swinson later took a
handgun to the apartment that Jackson shared with his grandmother in the 3300 block of E. 7th
Avenue and fired several rounds into the home from outside at 10:22 p.m.
Jackson wasn't struck, but Mitchell was near death, a bullet lodged in her spine, when she
arrived at Grant Medical Center. She has been in and out of hospitals and nursing homes and endured
several surgeries.
Swinson, formerly of E. 6th Avenue on the East Side, pleaded guilty to two counts of
felonious assault and one count of discharging a firearm into a residence. The judge imposed the
maximum sentence of 22 years for the felonious-assault charges and two firearms specifications. He
added three years for the assault on the jail inmate.
Graceffo called Mitchell "as innocent a victim as you can get."

Thank you to the athletes, spectators, volunteers and City of Titusville for making the inaugural Rocketman Florida Triathlon a successful event! We will let you know via email and Facebook when we have news on next's year's event.
The inaugural Rocketman Florida Triathlon made history on May 5, 2013. This iconic triathlon is held on Central Florida's Space Coast and marked the first time in history that Kennedy Space Center's secured gates have been opened for a privately coordinated public sporting event. Click the video below to view the course.
Rocketman Florida Triathlon Race Distances
The Rocketman Florida Tri athletes will compete in a Classic +, International + and relay divisions – with each featuring a stunning bike ride inside the secured gates of the Kennedy Space Center and around all of America's major space program landmarks. The KSC portion of the bike ride is more than 15 miles long, with the remainder of the course adjacent to the equally beautiful scenery of the Canaveral National Seashore and Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge.
The "+" aspect of the Classic and International distance rides is due to the extra bicycle distance necessary to get all triathletes out and around the two Space Shuttle launch pads. Rather than the standard 19-mile and 24.8 mile bike distances, those athletes will instead both ride a bike course of approximately 34 miles.
- Classic + (7:30am start)
Swim 1/4 mile, Bike 33 miles, Run 3.1 miles - International + (7:15am start)
Swim .93 miles, Bike 33 miles, Run 6.2 miles - There will be no half iron in 2014.
The start, finish and transition area will be in downtown Titusville at the riverfront Space View Park.
While space is infinite, the space in our race is limited! Follow updates on Facebook for the registration announcement!

xml_set_external_entity_ref_handler — Set up external entity reference handler
Sets the external entity reference handler function for the XML parser parser.
- parser
A reference to the XML parser to set up external entity reference handler function.
- handler
handler is a string containing the name of a function that must exist when xml_parse() is called for parser.
The function named by handler must accept five parameters, and should return an integer value.If the value returned from the handler is FALSE (which it will be if no value is returned), the XML parser will stop parsing and xml_get_error_code() will return XML_ERROR_EXTERNAL_ENTITY_HANDLING.
handler ( resource $parser , string $open_entity_names , string $base , string $system_id , string $public_id )- parser
- The first parameter, parser, is a reference to the XML parser calling the handler.
- open_entity_names
- The second parameter, open_entity_names, is a space-separated list of the names of the entities that are open for the parse of this entity (including the name of the referenced entity).
- base
- This is the base for resolving the system identifier (system_id) of the external entity.Currently this parameter will always be set to an empty string.
- system_id
- The fourth parameter, system_id, is the system identifier as specified in the entity declaration.
- public_id
- The fifth parameter, public_id, is the public identifier as specified in the entity declaration, or an empty string if none was specified; the whitespace in the public identifier will have been normalized as required by the XML spec.
If a handler function is set to an empty string, or FALSE, the handler in question is disabled.
Note: Instead of a function name, an array containing an object reference and a method name can also be supplied.
Return Values
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

Wildlife Viewing at Mancos State Park
Mancos State Park provides visitors with excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. From the tufted-eared Abert's Squirrel to the graceful Mule Deer, mammals of all sizes can be found in the park. Ask a Ranger, or stop by the front gate to pick up a Mancos State Park Mammal List, or take a gander at our Watchable Wildlife Kiosk located near the front gate. Hikers may also want to watch their step, because Mancos is home to a number of reptiles such as Garter Snakes and Horned Toads.
Migratory and resident birds are known for this area, including the black-billed magpie, raven, mountain bluebird and gray jay, raptors, and waterfowl and shorebirds attracted to the reservoir. Mule deer are a common sight, as are cottontail rabbits, the Abert's squirrel, porcupines, raccoons, the least chipmunk, coyotes and ground squirrels. Anglers are attracted by the cold- and warm-water fishing opportunities, which include rainbow trout, yellow perch, and catfish.

text: 000 FXUS63 KLSX 031214 AFDLSX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO 614 AM CST Tue Dec 3 2013 .SHORT TERM: (Through Late This Afternoon) Issued at 359 AM CST Tue Dec 3 2013 Main concern through mid morning is dense fog. I have expanded the dense fog advisory to include all of the area except the far east until 10 am. Visibilities have been varying most of the night, however there has been a general decline the past two hours. These sites include SET and a few in the metro east, those in Southwest Illinois including Sparta and Carbondale and southeast Missouri. There is also a large area of fog over southwest and south central Missouri that is expanding rapidly northeastward. Not sure how widespread the fog will be this morning, however there will be enough areas of dense fog to warrant an advisory. Surface winds will begin to increase later this morning as pressure gradient tights. Still expect a significant warm up this afternoon with the strong warm air advection this afternoon. Kept with going high temperatures which are supported by mixing down 900mb temperatures. Britt .LONG TERM: (Tonight through Monday) Issued at 359 AM CST Tue Dec 3 2013 Primary concern this morning remains the pending wintry weather for Thursday and Friday so will focus most of this discussion on that period. The ingredients are coming together...and model guidance is coming into better agreement visa-vis the initial fropa Wednesday. Leading up to Thursday: a strong shortwave rotating south along the northwest coast of the U.S. will dive down across the west coast into the Desert Southwest. This will amplify the flow allowing very cold air from southwest Canada to move down the east side of the Rockies into the High Plains. Lee side cyclogenesis will occur over the Plains tonight and a strong low will ride up the resulting baroclinic zone between the arctic air over the northern Plains and the warmer air to the south. The resulting cold front will barrel through the area Wednesday. Used a blend of guidance to attempt to nail down the temperature trends Wednesday, and the end results are a slightly slower and warmer solution than the previous forecast. Still think there might be some rain showers along and ahead of the front, but any precip will be light and isolated due to a strong cap. As the longwave trof deepens over the southwestern U.S. on Wednesday it will pick up a cutoff low now sitting about 1100 miles southwest of San Diego. The vorticity from this cutoff will ride up over the Baja Peninsula early Wednesday evening and cross Mexico overnight, emerging across west Texas around 12Z Thursday. This is the energy which will produce our wintry precip Thursday. This wave of vorticity will not be sampled by our upper air network until Thursday morning...so my confidence in details of Thursday`s forecast is low. Much will depend on the track of the wave as it moves rapidly northeast across the area and how deep the cold air will be when precipitation is occurring. Used a combination of partial thickness forecasts and model soundings to forecast precip type, leaning toward the NAM which typically handles shallow arctic airmasses better. Generally speaking, the predominant precip type should be snow north of I-70, along and 30 miles south of I-70 a mix of sleet and snow should occur, with sleet and freezing rain further south across the Eastern Ozarks. The precipitation will slowly trend toward more sleet and snow through Thursday into Thursday night as cold air deepens. The accumulation forecast is complicated by the mixed precip and the speed with which the wave will be moving. There remains little or no low level thermodynamic forcing, this looks to be all mid and upper level synoptic lift. Think the precip will generally be light, beginning in the late morning or early afternoon and taper off over most of the area by mid to late evening. Precip may linger longer over the eastern Ozarks. 1-3 inches of a mix of sleet and snow looks like good first estimate along and north of I-44 with around 0.1 inch of freezing rain topped off by a little sleet and snow over the eastern Ozarks. Once again...let me stress that this is this is low confidence since we won`t be sampling the wave until it crosses into Texas Thursday morning. Another wave of vorticity will eject northeast from the base of the longwave trof on Friday. This will be the second wave of wintry precip we will have to contend with before the weekend. Precip type should be less of an issue as cold air will be deep enough for all snow across all but far southeast Missouri. The NAM is coming in with a potential for more mixed precip in those areas with a warm nose in the forecast soundings between 850mb and 750mb. For the moment, have kept an all snow forecast going, since the NAM is just starting to get out to that time range. In addition to the upper level support, there may be a lower level thermodynamic component to Friday`s precip. There is a stronger low level reflection of the shortwave which moves across Arkansas into the Tennessee Valley Friday. Both the NAM and GFS show substantial low level moisture convergence ahead of this low...and this will definitely enhance lift and precipitation efficiency. The GFS is further south keeping this thermodynamic component out of the area...but the NAM pushes it up into southeast Missouri and southern Illinois. For now, have stayed the course and kept chance to likely pops and, as mentioned before, all snow. Remainder of the forecast looks cold. Temperatures should be well below normal with arctic air locked over the region. There is still a chance for light precip (most likely snow) as low level warm advection ramps up in response to the longwave trof finally de-amplifies and moves east into the Great Plains. Boundary layer air will be so dry due to the arctic airmass locked in over the region that any additional snowfall amounts should be light. Carney && .AVIATION: (For the 12z TAFs through 12z Wednesday Morning) Issued at 534 AM CST Tue Dec 3 2013 Areas of VLIFR and LIFR conditions have been prevalent through the night, and expect them to continue through 15-16Z. This is when the low level inversion will begin to erode and surface pressure gradient increases. Then expect mainly VFR conditions until around 06Z tonight when computer model guidance suggest that MVFR or IFR ceilings and visibilities will redevelop after 06Z tonight. Specifics for KSTL: Expect current LIFR to last through at least 15Z with VFR conditions developing by 16-17Z. Then expect VFR through most of the day before MVFR or IFR conditions redevelop after 06Z tonight.
