Group admits errors in energy tax report
A Harrisburg group said on Thursday there are flaws in its report on corporate income taxes paid by energy companies drilling for natural gas in Pennsylvania's mile-deep Marcellus shale formation.
The Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center's report, "Representation without Taxation: How Natural Gas Producers Escape Taxes in Pennsylvania," overestimated how frequently firms use their status as limited-liability companies to pay the state's 3.07 percent personal income tax, instead of the much higher 9.99 percent net corporation income tax, a center spokesman said.
"As soon as we realized there was a problem, we corrected it, and we posted it to our website," said spokesman Chris Lilienthal.
The correction notes that individuals and corporations receive profits through an energy company limited liability corporation or limited partnership, meaning a mix of personal and corporate taxes are paid. The original version said energy companies could avoid paying corporate income tax "altogether" as an LLC or LP.
Errors in the report, which relies on 2008 tax data collected by the state Department of Revenue, go deeper than that, said Elizabeth Brassell, a spokeswoman for the Department of Revenue.
The center's researchers relied on flawed mathematical calculations, Brassell said.
She said because of high interest, the department plans to release a report soon about tax revenues generated by Marcellus shale drilling operations. That report, however, likely won't pinpoint how much energy companies pay in corporate and personal income taxes.
Travis Windle, a spokesman for the Marcellus Shale Coalition, an industry group, said PBPC used "blatantly wrong and faulty information" to drive its political agenda, a charge PBPC denies.
The board of directors that runs the center is made up of labor union and public university officials. It is advocating for state lawmakers to impose a severance tax on natural gas drillers, which has been controversial.

Deedy's friend takes the stand in retrialUPDATED 5:47 PM HST Jul 24, 2014
The friend of federal agent Christopher Deedy took the stand on Thursday talking about what happened on the night of the shooting in Waikiki.Video Transcript
There -- from the moment the night began -- to the bloody end. The friend of a federal agent on trial for murder -- took the stand today. Adam Gutowski returned -- for the SECOND murder trial for Agent Christopher Deedy. It's been nearly 3 years -- since Deedy shot and killed 23 year-old Kollin Elderts at a Waikiki McDonalds. Gutowski -- like others who were there that night -- say SOME of what they remember TODAY -- is different from what they told police after the shooting -- including just how much he had to drink. But he says he remembers Elderts staring at another drunken customer -- then getting angry at Deedy -- after the two exchanged words. TP 1/D9 @ 9:22:37-55 WHAT WERE YOU TRYING TO DO THAT NIGHT AT THE MCDONALD'S WHEN WALKED UP TO MR. ELDERTS? I WAS VERY MUCH TRYING TO KEEP KOLLIN FROM GETTING TO CHRIS. I WAS VERY CONCERNED IF KOLLIN GOT TO CHRIS SOMETHING BAD WOULD HAPPEN. TP 2/D9 @ 11:04:15-35 WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL YOUR FRIEND, LET'S JUST LEAVE? I WAS TOO CONCERNED, WELL, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON, WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING, IT WAS ALL HAPPENING EXTREMELY QUICKLY. I'M JUST TRYING TO DEAL WITH THE SITUATION AS IT WAS OCCURING. Deputy Prosecutor Janice Futa pressed Gutowski on why he didn't call police, stay to help his friend, or seek MORE treatment -- after a scuffle with Elderts' friend Shane Medeiros. This afternoon -- security guard Rosalinda Soriano took the stand -- saying Elderts was loud, acting drunk, and harrassing another customer -- before Deedy

'Smallville' Will End Next Season
According to the Live Feed, the CW series 'Smallville' will officially end after next season, wrapping up an impressive 10 seasons on the air. The network is expected to make the official announcement at its upfront presentation on Thursday.
The story of Clark Kent's younger days (Tom Welling) has defied expectations after a move to Friday, averaging a stunning 2.35 million viewers this season.
In its prime, 'Smallville' averaged 6.30 million viewers.
Earlier today, Welling broke the news to Hollywood Life.
The show and its characters have a very dedicated fan base; some even went as far as to create a tribute commercial for Chloe Sullivan (Allison Mack) that aired on CW affiliates in Los Angeles and New York.
Meanwhile, in slightly happier news, the CW has also picked up a new reality series entitled 'Plain Jane.' According to the Hollywood Reporter, each episode of 'Plain Jane' will follow one girl as she is transformed with a new wardrobe, style tips and confidence-building exercises. Then, the young lady will go on a date with a crush who doesn't know she's interested in him.
'Plain Jane' will be executive produced by Allison Grodner, Rich Meehan and Pete Tartaglia. British fashion expert Louise Roe will serve as host.
Tell us: Do you want to see Clark put on the tights and fly in season 10?

The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Communityby David C. Korten
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
*Sweeping survey of world history offering a new understanding of the key challenge of our time
*Offers a positive message of hope for a sustainable and just future and a practical strategy for getting there
In The Great Turning, David Korten argues that ""Empire,"" the organization of society through hierarchy and violence has always resulted in misery for the many and fortune for the few, but now it threatens the very future of humanity as Empire has become unsustainable and destructive.
Korten traces the roots of Empire and charts the evolution of its instruments of control, from absolute monarchies to the multinational institutions of the global economy. He describes efforts to develop democratic alternatives to Empire, such as the founding of the United States and shows how elitists with an imperial agenda have undermined the ""American experiment.""
Empire is not inevitable, and we can turn away from it. Korten draws on evidence from evolutionary theory, developmental psychology, and religious teachings to show that a life-centered, egalitarian, sustainable, democratic ""Earth Community"" is possible.
Book News Annotation:
An earlier book by Korten (co-founder and board chair of the Positive Futures Network), When Corporations Rule the World (1995), was influential in its critique of the dangers of corporate power to the future survival of "spaceship Earth." He now sees the rise of corporate power as part and parcel of a "five-thousand-year era of Empire that has reproduced hierarchies of domination at all levels of human organization" and argues that a great cultural, economic, and political turning is required in order to turn from "Empire" to "Earth Community." He charts the development of Empire, discussing its self-replicating social dynamics of hierarchy and then discussing it in the context of the current political and economic policies of the United States. He then outlines the requisite components of the "Great Turning" and considers their implementation through citizen action and cultural, economic, and political democratization based on family and community values. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
In his classic international bestseller, ""When Corporations Rule the World,"" David Korten exposed the destructive and oppressive nature of the global corporate economy and helped spark a global resistance movement. Now, he shows that the problem runs deeper than corporate domination — with far greater consequences.
Korten argues that global corporate consolidation of power is but one manifestation of what he calls "" Empire"" — the organization of society by hierarchies of dominance that have held sway for the past 5,000 years. Empire has always resulted in misery for the many and fortune for the few. Now it threatens the very future of humanity. ""The Great Turning"" traces the ancient roots of Empire and charts its long evolution from monarchies to the transnational institutions of the global economy.
Empire is not inevitable, not the natural order of things. Korten draws on evidence from sources as varied as evolutionary theory, developmental psychology, and religious teachings to make the case that "" Earth Community"" — a life-centered, egalitarian, sustainable way of ordering human society based on democratic principles of partnership — is indeed possible. He details a practical strategy for advancing a turning toward a future of as-yet-unrealized human potential.
The threat of continued warfare to the future of humanity has become dire. "The Great Turning explores that threat in detail and provides an equally detailed plan for meeting — and overcoming — it. Written in the author's trademark clear, compelling style, this timely book uncovers the roots of Empire in ancient Athens and charts the long transition from the institutions of monarchy to those of the global economy as the favored instruments of imperialism. Korten then discusses the promise of early America as a democracy dedicated to spreading liberty and freedom — and the failure of the "American experiment" through the contemporary takeover of the U.S. government by corporate plutocrats, religious theocrats, and neoconservative militarists in pursuit of naked imperial ambition. Korten draws on sources as varied as evolution, developmental psychology, and the wisdom of religious mystics to make the case for "Earth Community" — a people-centered, community-based future that is both possible and necessary.

Oil Diplomacy Editor
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 11 -- CNOOC Fujian LNG Co. Ltd. has let a contract to Chicago Bridge & Iron (CB&I) for engineering, procurement, and construction of two additional 160,000 cu m full-containment LNG storage tanks at CNOOC's LNG import terminal expansion in Fujian Province, China. The work is scheduled to be completed in 2011.
The award follows CB&I's completion of the first phase of the Fujian import terminal, which has two 160,000 cu m LNG storage tanks. The terminal received its first shipment of LNG in April 2008.
The 60,000-tonne spot shipment, from Egypt's Idku LNG plant, was supplied by BG Group, which owns 35.5% of train 1 and 38% of train 2 at the Idku liquefaction facility.
Since then, the 2.6 million tonnes/year Fujian terminal has been receiving spot cargoes while awaiting term supply from Indonesia's Tangguh LNG project.
Indonesia, in the wake of sharp increases in global oil prices, was seeking a price increase to $10/MMbtu for its Tangguh supplies.
Under the contract signed by China and Indonesia in 2002, the price of LNG from the Tangguh project was pegged at $2.40/MMbtu, regardless of any increases in crude oil prices.
China has already agreed to raise the price to $3.80/MMbtu, but Indonesia declined the offer and is seeking a new round of negotiations.
New LNG supplies sought
Meanwhile, a CNOOC Fujian LNG spokesman said the new tanks are part of a Phase II expansion at the terminal aimed at meeting future local demand and that the company is conducting a study on obtaining additional LNG supplies.
The Fujian terminal has commitments to supply regasified LNG to city gas companies in Fuzhou, Putian, Quanzhou, Xiamen, and Zhangzhou as well as three gas-fired power plants in Putian, Jinjiang, and Xiamen, which will account for more than 80% of consumption.
Expansion of the Fujian terminal also is part of the Chinese government's broader strategy to increase LNG's share of national energy consumption to 10% by 2015.
By 2020 about 25% of China's natural gas demand is forecast to be met through LNG imports, according to the US Energy Information Administration, which sees China's natural gas demand growing by 6.4%/year during 2010-20.
CNOOC Fujian LNG Co. Ltd. is a joint investment of China National Offshore Oil Corp. 60% and local firm Fujian Zhongmin Corp. 40%.

2 Utah hotels maintain AAA's elite status
Two Utah hotels maintained their elite standing with AAA Travel, while three new properties in the state were added to the second-tier list published annually by the nation's largest travel organization.
The Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City and Stein Eriksen Lodge in Park City once again received "Five Diamond" status from AAA Travel, the organization's highest ranking. This is the seventh time Stein Eriksen received the designation, the fifth for The Grand America.
"Utah's Five Diamond award winners truly represent the best of the hospitality industry," said Rolayne Fairclough, AAA Utah spokesperson. "They are repeat winners, which prove their dedication to continuing a tradition of excellence."
"Four Diamond" awards were granted to 15 other Utah lodging establishments and 10 restaurants. New to the list this year are Zermatt Resort and Spa in Midway, Goldener Hirsch Inn in Park City and The Paris restaurant in Salt Lake City.
"To earn a Four Diamond award, lodgings must be upscale in all areas and offer guests a wide range of amenities," Fairclough added. "Restaurants must feature a distinctive fine-dining experience, outstanding service and creative and complex menus."
Utah restaurants that retained their positions on AAA's Four Diamond list are the Blue Boar Inn Restaurant in Midway, Grappa Italian Restaurant, Goldener Hirsch Restaurant and The Glitretind in Park City, The Tree Room Restaurant at Sundance and LaCaille, Metropolitan, Log Haven and Bambara in Salt Lake City.
Lodging establishments who repeated from last year are Green Valley Spa and Resort in St. George; Sunflower Hill Luxury Inn and Sorrel River Ranch Resort and Spa in Moab; Blue Boar Inn, Invited Inn, Johnson Mill Bed and Breakfast in Midway; Grand Summit Resort Hotel and Hotel Park City; and Hilton Salt Lake City Center, Hotel Monaco, Marriott Downtown, Marriott Salt Lake City Center and Little America Hotel.

FreeRTOS for the Renesas RL78 Microcontroller
|This demo has been superseded with one that supports more RL78 part numbers and evaluation boards. Click to view the documentation page.
The project requires IAR Embedded Workbench for the RL78 (EWRL78) version 1.10 or higher. A free KickStart edition of EWRL78 is available for download from the IAR web site.
This page documents an application that demonstrates the use of FreeRTOS on a Renesas RL78 16-bit microcontroller.
The demo is configured to run on the RL78/G13 Promotion Board (YRPBRL78G13), which is fitted with a R5F100LEA microcontroller. The R5F100LEA provides the software application with a little under 4K bytes of usable RAM, which is not enough for all the FreeRTOS features to be fully demonstrated in this single application. The RL78 range does, however, include parts with up to 32K bytes of RAM, some eight times more RAM than that available on the R5F100LEA. The R5F100LEA demo creates 13 tasks, 4 queues and two timers.
Note: If this project fails to build then it is likely the version of IAR Embedded Workbench being used is too old. If this is the case, then it is also likely that the project file has been (silently) corrupted and will need to be restored to its original state before it can be built even with an updated IAR version.
My application does not run, what could be wrong?
The IAR Embedded Workbench workspace for the Renesas RL78 Promo Board demo is called RTOSDemo.eww, and is located in the FreeRTOS\Demo\RL78_RL78G13_Promo_Board_IAR directory.
The following demo specific tasks are created in addition to the standard demo tasks:
These two tasks test the RTOS kernel context switch mechanism by first filling each RL78 register with a known and unique value, then repeatedly checking that the value originally written to the register is maintained in the register, for the lifetime of the task. The tasks execute at the lowest possible priority (the idle priority), so are preempted frequently.
The nature of these tasks necessitates that they are written in assembly.
The Check timer is an example of a very simple watchdog type timer. It monitors all the other standard demo tasks, the register check tasks, and the demo software timer, and provides visual feedback as to the system status using an LED.
The period of the check timer is initially set to three seconds. The check timer callback function checks that all the standard demo tasks, the register check tasks, and the demo timer are not only still executing, but are executing without reporting any errors, then toggles an LED.
If the check timer discovers that a task or timer has either stalled, or reported an error, then it changes its own period from the initial three seconds, to just 200ms. Therefore, if the LED toggles every three seconds, no issues have been discovered. If the LED toggles every 200ms, an issue has been discovered in at least one task or the demo timer.
The demo timer callback function does nothing more than increment a variable. The period of the demo timer is set relative to the period of the check timer. This allows the check timer to know how many times the demo timer callback function should execute between each execution of the check timer callback function. The variable incremented in the demo timer callback is used by the check timer to determine if the demo timer callback is being executed at the expected rate.
main.c also includes example stack overflow, idle, and malloc files hook functions.
When executing correctly, the demo application will toggle the user LED every three seconds.
There is also a constant that is specific to the Renesas RL78 port and demo:
Set configCLOCK_SOURCE to 0 to use an external clock source, or 1 to use the high speed internal clock source. Ensure configCPU_CLOCK_HZ is also set correctly when altering any clock configuration.
Each port #defines 'BaseType_t' to equal the most efficient data type for that processor. This port defines BaseType_t to be of type short.
Note that vPortEndScheduler() has not been implemented.
Often you will require an interrupt service routine to cause a context switch. For example a serial port character being received may unblock a high priority task that was blocked waiting for the character to arrive. If the unblocked task has a higher priority than the current task, then the ISR should return directly to the unblocked task. Limitations in the IAR inline assembler necessitate such interrupt service routines are entered using an assembly file wrapper. An example is provided below. First the assembly file wrapper.
; ISR_Support.h defines the portSAVE_CONTEXT and portRESTORE_CONTEXT ; macros. #include "ISR_Support.h" ; The wrapped implemented in the assembly file. PUBLIC vISRWrapper ; The portion of the handler that is implemented in an external C file. EXTERN vISRHandler ; Ensure the code segment is used. RSEG CODE:CODE ; The wrapper is the interrupt entry point. vISRWrapper: ; The ISR must start with a call to the portSAVE_CONTEXT() macro to save ; the context of the currently running task. portSAVE_CONTEXT ; Once the context is saved the C portion of the handler can be called. ; This is where the interrupting peripheral is actually serviced. call vISRHandler ; Finally the ISR must end with a call to portRESTORE_CONTEXT() followed by ; a reti instruction to return from the interrupt to whichever task is ; now the task selected to run (which may be different to the task that ; was running before the interrupt started). portRESTORE_CONTEXT reti ; The interrupt handler can be installed into the vector table in the same ;assembly file. ; Ensure the vector table segement is used. COMMON INTVEC:CODE:ROOT(1) ; Place a pointer to the asm wrapper at the correct index into the vector ; table. Note 56 is used is purely as an example. The correct vector ; number for the interrupt being installed must be used. ORG 56 DW vISRWrapper
The C portion of the interrupt handler is just a standard C function.
/* This standard C function is called from the assembly wrapper above. */ void vISRHandler( void ) { short sHigherPriorityTaskWoken = pdFALSE; /* Handler code goes here, for purposes of demonstration, assume at some point the hander calls xSemaphoreGiveFromISR().*/ xSemaphoreGiveFromISR( xSemaphore, &sHigherPriorityTaskWoken ); /* If giving the semaphore unblocked a task, and the unblocked task has a priority that is higher than the currently running task, then sHigherPriorityTaskWoken will have been set to pdTRUE. Passing a pdTRUE value to portYIELD_FROM_ISR() will cause this interrupt to return directly to the higher priority unblocked task. */ portYIELD_FROM_ISR( sHigherPriorityTaskWoken ); }
The RTOS kernel also requires exclusive use of the BRK software interrupt instruction.

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. O Allah, I beg to be protected from unquenching ego and from an unfearing heart (not fearing God) and from an unyielding knowledge and from an untranscending prayer and from an inaudible prayer (ungrantable request).
O Allah, I beg You restoration after affliction, relief after grief, relaxation after constriction. My Lord, whatever talents I have got, it is but from You. There is no god but You. I beg Your pardon and seek atonement.

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. O Allah, I beg to request You that I have no knowledge of the estuaries of my provisions and I no doubt seek it because of the uncertainties springing in my heart so I hustle about in the cities in seeking it. I be therein like a confounded seeker, not knowing either it is in plains or is it in mountains, either in the land or in the rivers, yonder anyone or before anyone, and I do know that You have its knowledge, its means at Your hands and You are the one awarding it by Your favor and executing it by Your favor. O Allah, peace be on Hazrat Mohammed (S.A.W.) and his sacred progeny, and favor me, O Lord, ever magnifying provisions, its seeking easier and its attainment nearer, and not strain me from tapping sources having no provisions therein for me. And You are over and above straining me, and I a beggar of Your favor, and peace be on Mohammed (S.A.W.) and his sacred progeny, and ameliorate me by Your favors. Verily You have abundant favors.

The Tasbeeh of Sayeda Fatima
Sayeda Fatima used to work very hard in her house. Her father our Holy Prophet, Prophet Muhammad could see how hard she worked.
One day he told her that he was going to give her something that would be better than a helper or anything else in the world.
He gave her Tasbeeh.
He told her that after every Salaat she should say:
Allahu Akbar - 34 times
Alhamdulillah - 33 times
Subhanallah - 33 times
This is what we call the Tasbeeh of Sayeda Fatima.
Prayer is like a beautiful flower and the Tasbeeh of Sayeda Fatima gives that beautiful flower a beautiful smell.
So after every Salaat we should say the Tasbeeh of Sayeda Fatima because we want our prayer to be like a beautiful flower with a beautiful smell.
A reliable narration from Imam Baqir states: Whoever performed the tasbeeh of Fatima then asked Allah for forgiveness, Allah forgave him 100 times, added 1,000 good deeds to his scales, repelled the shaytan and Allah was pleased with him.
Imam Sadiq narrated: Whoever did the tasbeeh of Fatima before he unfolded his legs (from the position of sitting in obligational prayer) Allah forgave him and made paradise obligatory upon him.
He also relates: The tasbeeh of Fatima in every obligatory prayer is more loved than praying 1,000 rikats every day.
It is related from Imam Sadiq : that whoever did the tasbeeh of Fatima after every prayer, and ended it with la illaha illa Allah, Allah forgave his sins.
It is preferred to use the beads that are made from the turba of Imam Hussein . A woman should carry prayer beads made of the turba of Imam Hussein to protect her from adversity.
It is related that Fatima used to make tasbeeh on her hands, or on a wollen string that was knotted. It was customary to use the hands or string, until Hamza was killed, upon when it became practice to use clay beads. When Imam Hussein was killed, it was preferred to use the clay that was from nearby his grave.
Imam Mahdi (ajfrs) has related: That whoever forgot to make dhikr (remembrance) and in his hand is a rosary of beads made from the turba of Imam Hussein , reward is written for him.
Imam Sadiq : The beads from the grave of Imam Hussein are counted as tasbeeh on the hand of a man, even if he didn't make the tasbeeh (he only held it).
Imam Sadiq also related: Whoever did the tasbeeh with the turba of Hussein once, Allah counted it for him 70 times, and when he touches the beads with his hand and doesn't do tasbeeh with it, for each bead he touches, the reward is 7 times.
Another narration says that for each bead is 40 hasanat.
A reliable tradition from Imam Musa states: The true believer is not without five things: a miswak, a comb/brush, a prayer rug, tasbeeh beads and an aqiq ring.
It is related from Imam Sadiq : Whoever did tasbeeh on the clay beads from the grave of Imam Hussein Allah wrote for him 400 good deeds, and erased from him 400 bad deeds, and met 400 of his needs and raised him 400 degrees/ levels.
The narrations recommend that the string the beads are threaded on be blue in color.
It is narrated from Al Burqy from Imam Sadiq : Whoever did the tasbeeh 10 times after his obligatory prayer and before he moved his legs from his place, Allah erased from him 400 thousand thousand bad deeds and wrote for him 400 thousand thousand good deeds, and it is if he read the Holy Quran 12 times. Then he said: I myself don't move my legs (from the sitting position after prayer) without saying it 100 times, but for you, say it (only) ten times.

9. Our Lord! Behold we have heard a voice calling us unto faith: "Believe in your Lord" as we have believed. (3:193)

To hear dua #9
The wise men hear the message of Allah, and, as they have already understood the meaning of the nature of divine creation, readily accept the true faith, the belief in the one and only Allah, seeking His forgiveness for the sins they have committed in the days of ignorance; and not forgetting that Allah (alone0 can keep them on the right path till the last day of their lives in this world, invoke Him to make them die as true believers.
Make a habit of reciting this dua'a because there is nothing worth keeping with yourself except the true faith to the last breath of your life, in order to obtain permanent bliss in the next world. This world is a place of test and trial for you. Even after a whole life time of true faith if a person for a single insignificant moment, does not believe in the one and only almighty Allah in the last breath of his life, he is forever condemned to the fire of hell.

Fat pocketbook pearly mussel [Potamilus capax]
The Fat pocketbook pearly mussel is of the North American family Unionidae. A far larger percentage of this family are imperiled than any other species group. This mussel is about 4 inches long and has a smooth, shiny yellow to brown outer shell that is iridescent bluish white on the inside. It is found in sand, mud, or gravel in streams and rivers less than 8 feet deep, and feeds by siphoning phytoplankton and other plant matter from the water.
Historically, the Fat pocketbook was found in portions of the Wabash, Mississippi, Ohio, and Illinois River. It now is believed to be found in a small, undredged portion of the St. Francis River in St. Francis County, Arkansas. Few specimens were found in the mid-1970's in the Wabash River in Posey County, Indiana and a small tributary in Pike County, Indiana but is uncertain whether the fat pocketbook populations in these areas are still viable and reproducing.
Major factors affecting these mussel populations are alterations in temperature, waterflow, and siltation caused by stream damming, channeling, and dredging. Agricultural runoff and industrial practices have also affected the mussel habitat by degrading water quality. Because mussels are filter feeders, the effects of pollution are intensified due to the large quantities of water drawn through their siphons in the feeding process.
Efforts to restore Fat pocketbook populations include transplatation attempts by the Army Corps of Engineers, habitat reconstruction sites by the Fish and Wildlife Service, and concerted efforts by individuals and industries to ensure water quality.

As always, Wunderground provides a great summary of the situation. The fat lady didn't sing yet, but we're far enough along that some folks making plans for big CA hikes in 2014 ought to keep an eye on this. 99% of people who might be hiking in 2014 Sierra know this, but for the 1% who don't know, here is some basic info...California receives the vast majority of its rainfall in the winter. The heart of the rainy season is November to March. October and April are shoulder seasons. Here's the data for San Francisco. Other locations in the state are variations on the same theme:The 2011-12, and the 2012-13 rainy seasons were not very wet. As a result, the snowpack in the Sierras was very poor. The following graph puts it into perspective. Neither 11-12 nor 12-13 were as dry as the record low snowpack in 76-77, but the past two winters achieved only ~50% of normal snowpack. Pink line shows the 12-13 season; green shows the 11-12 season. Here's a link to the current version of these same graphs (which includes 13-14 but drops 11-12).If we're lucky the high pressure system that has been blocking the storms we normally receive will find a new parking place, and we'll finally see the arrival of winter. Maybe we'll reach the 50% of normal snowpack numbers that we had in the past two winters. Chances for something better than 50% of normal are rapidly diminishing. If I were planning big trips, I'd think about five things. 1. Mosquitoes will not be a problem in August. They may peak by early or mid July. In a "normal" year, there are still swarms in the southern Sierra in late July to early August.2. Fire season has the potential to be horrendous. That might mean closures. And it might mean crummy visibility. In a troublesome preview of what might be in store for us, there was an unprecedented wildfire in Big Sur a few weeks ago - in a normal world there should not be wildfires in Big Sur in December or January, that's just weird. Many (most?) CalFire stations close down for the winter, we just don't have wildfires this time of the year.3. High passes will be snow free earlier in the season than is normal. "Normal" varies based on the pass, so there's no magic date. But if you look at the snowpack graphs you can see that in the past two years the snowpack at the measurement stations was down to 0% in mid-May instead of early-July.4. Drinking water in the High Sierra (Mammoth to Cottonwood) will not be a problem. There are plenty of lakes and rivers. Small creeks will dry up earlier than usual, but lakes and rivers will be AOK as water sources.5. If I were planning to hike in parts of the state without permanent alpine lakes or rivers, I'd get local info about the status of seasonal water sources.

Very helpful post. Thank you for putting it together. Here in north central Washington I haven't had to use my snowshoes yet, but the microspikes are getting a workout due to all the ice in places where there is usually lots of snow. Interesting winter...
This is really getting crazy. And no real rain in sight. My friends who are farming are looking at catastrophic losses
"Thank you for putting it together. Here in north central Washington I haven't had to use my snowshoes yet, but the microspikes are getting a workout due to all the ice in places where there is usually lots of snow."+1Horrible snow year here in Washington. A short day hike at 4500' felt like I was walking on a skating rink.
David,Those pictures are sobering. I would suggest that PCT hikers leave early if this continues to avoid fire season which could be epic.
The drought is obviously a huge, huge problem. But I think it's way too early to start planning for August based on the weather in January. I did the PCT in 2009. The snowpack was well below average throughout the winter, but May and June turned out to be cold and wet (I think it was the wettest June in CA history iirc). So, the snowmelt was delayed and some new snowfall happened late. By the time I hit the Sierra, the snowpack was average or a bit above average according to locals.Anyway, here's hoping for more rain/snow.
Brought up on the other website as well (BP). Looks like an abnormally dry January except for Colorado right now, plus the ID/MT/WY border area and around Salt Lake City (here's hoping spring showers are enough to reverse the trend)Link to current and archives as of 1/16/2014:http://www.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov/cgibin/sssf.plMay need to take into account how a local ecosystem responds to one or 2 good rainstorms though.ed: add

There are low snow years, and then here is this year. Normally by this time we have had a few several day long deluges here in the Santa Cruz mountains, even if it end up being a low snow year. Just one of these would change that satellite image to normal looking. We have had zero of these this year. Hopefully we will get one or two in February. The blackbirds in town started singing their spring mating song last week! Usually they start in February. Cats and Dogs living together! Mass hysteria!
"I think it's way too early to start planning for August based on the weather in January."Clearly somebody who has the option to wait until later to plan their weather-dependent hikes ought to wait. But sometimes that's not possible. For example, Jim and I got our airplane tickets for an Alps 2014 hike in December - because we fly on frequent flier miles and those tickets are very limited. Even in December we were very limited in what dates we could fly in the April-June timeframe. If overseas readers are making plans for a 2014 Sierra hike, they may well be choosing dates right now. If I were forced to choose now on timing for a Sierra trip, I'd absolutely consider the drought. And if somebody wants to place a bet on the intensity of the fire season, sign me up.We've taken perhaps 50 backpacking trips in the High Sierra, and we are highly averse to mosquitoes, so we plan our trips around them. We have been pretty satisfied with this guidance:- Average snowpack, mosquitoes are not a problem by Aug 15.- Low snowpack, mosquitoes are not a problem by Aug 1.- Very high snowpack, we wait until September.We've already had two consecutive dry years. In 2013 I took a High Sierra hike in mid-July and had almost no mosquitoes. That would NOT be the case in a normal year. The chances that we'll have a normal snowpack year are effectively zero now. We are normally at 50% of average maximum snowpack. And we're currently sitting at only 10% of what we normally have on Jan 16. The 10 day forecast is warm and dry. Record-breaking warm. We only have 10-14 weeks of rainy season left, so 10 days represents a good chunk of the possible recovery time. W.R.T. fire season, the soil is already so dry due to two years of sub-normal rain, and the fuel on the ground is so dry, that as of right now there's actually a fire warning in effect. This is just completely abnormal, in a way that might be hard for folks who don't live in a Mediterranean climate to viscerally appreciate. The NWS forecast discussion as I write this says:.FIRE WEATHER...PER REMOTE WEATHER SITES THERE ARE MANY SINGLE DIGIT HUMIDITY REPORTS AND LIGHT OFFSHORE WINDS 5 TO 15 MPH OVER INTERIOR MONTEREY AND SAN BENITO COUNTIES AS WELL AS OVER THE SOUTHERN SALINAS VALLEY. CRITICALLY FIRE WEATHER BEHAVIOR INCLUDING DRY FUELS...LOW HUMIDITIES AND LIGHT OFFSHORE WINDS PROMPTS A RED FLAG WARNING VALID TIL NOON PST FRIDAY.We are all, obviously, hoping for some sort of recovery. Unlike the mid-west and east, where rain is possible all year, we really don't have that much time left. I keep thinking, OK the 10-day forecast is for warm and sunny, but certainly winter will arrive on day 11. But I've been thinking that now for 8 weeks, and so far so bad.Keeping my fingers crossed, and hoping that in two weeks we'll have a favorable update in this thread :)

Amy, the only way to make this rain happen is to bet against it.--B.G.--
I've been keeping on eye on some of the longer range models as covered here:http://opensnow.com/dailysnow/tahoeWith the exception of the recent slight rain, the past several weeks have been suggesting no real changes within a two week range, which is about at their limits, even though there was an ever-just-out-of-range suggestion that the pattern might change beyond that time.As of today's run it looks like that troublesome high pressure ridge might finally start to roll towards the Aleutians in about 10 days, giving some slight chance for rain before the month ends. The real hope will be that February and March are able to draw in a great deal of moisture, but so far we're tracking with '76-'77.Meh.
I wonder what bpers stove backup plan is with all the hype the last year over improved efficiency of both alcohol and Esbit type stoves. I'm worried some are going to ignore warnings and bring one of those stoves regardless. Throw in the mix too, of woodstove users. I live in the Sierra, so I'm aware of conditions, cutting fuelwood too, you are always up to date on conditions.Duane
Los Angeles (CNN) -- California Gov. Jerry Brown on Friday declared a drought emergency for the state, saying it is facing perhaps "the worst drought that California has ever seen since records (began) about 100 years ago."The governor's announcement, made in San Francisco, came as a wildfire burned Friday with only 30% containment in 1,700 acres of foothills of Los Angeles County near Glendora. An illegal campfire apparently ignited the wildfire, and fire officials also cited drought conditions for contributing to the blaze.In his declaration, the governor called for voluntary "20% conservation of our water use" statewide."It's important to wake all Californians to the serious matter of the drought and lack of rain," Brown told reporters. "We are in a unprecedented, serious situation that people should pause and reflect on how we're dependent on rain, Mother Nature and each other.
Here in Los Padres NF, the head ranger has already announced the imposition of Level III Fire Restrictions. The restrictions are said to be in place until the end of the 2014 fire season (maybe next Fall???). This is the earliest I've ever seen these restrictions go into effect. Usually they don't go into effect until July-ish.Nonetheless, I have to admit the conditions probably warrant it. Many of the creeks/springs around here have only a slight trickle, if anything. Typically January would not be a time to have to worry about finding water anywhere in our area. Last year, and this year even more so, have been an unfortunate exception.
"Los Angeles (CNN) -- California Gov. Jerry Brown on Friday declared a drought emergency for the state, saying it is facing perhaps "the worst drought that California has ever seen since records (began) about 100 years ago." "When I head a story on NPR about this today I initially herd the gov declare a "Trout Emergency", some kind of Freudian miss-hear. I was thinking, "well, you don't hear that phrase much", but then I came to my senses. "Trout Emergency" does sound like a good name for a fishing-related cottage business.On another note, I was enjoying driving today with my sun roof down. I haven't opened it in the months Nov-March since I moved here 14 years ago. Its not just the absence of rain - usually in the winter here (in the redwoods) everything is completely damp, fog in the morning, everything seeping, regardless of the rain situation. This has totally not been the case here. It feels like October, which I suppose it is in fact an extension.
Here is the nice CA.gov page where you can compare snowpack for different years.If you hiked the PCT in 2009 (as Scott S's mentions above) you were there after a roughly 80% of normal winter. 2010 hiking season followed a fairly normal winter in the central and southern Sierra. 2011 followed a very wet winter.2011-12 and 2012-13 (and as of now 2013-14) are in a different category than the 2008-2009 dry year. Shaking the rain-sticks here in the Bay Area --Amy
I can't believe how dry it's been this year. Boy did I pick the wrong winter to get back into cross country skiing. Hahaha My only comment is on the fire danger. I know that dryness doesn't help, but I was talking to some Calfire guys not long ago and they were saying forest fires were much worse on summers that had lots of rain/ moisture in the winter preceding. They explained that although it seems like it would be opposite, the heavy rain winters cause so much growth of the brush that it makes the fires much larger and harder to control when they do finally start up in the summer. It kind of made sense when explained that way.
Cliff Mass is a professor up here in the PNW and has a popular weather blog. He posted about this last week, and it includes a couple additional figures like reservoir levels.http://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2014/01/extreme-drought-in-california.html

Mountain Hardwear wicked lite short sleeve t's for $14 and some change after I used my deal flyer from STP. Also had free shipping. Most of the smaller sizes are gone now though.http://www.sierratradingpost.com/Product.aspx?baseno=2395C&cdf=TopSeller
...and how much does the 'Wicked lite' weigh?
"wicked lite" is about 36% lighter than "ultra light.", which is 19% lighter than "super lite."
Edited by T.L. on 03/12/2010 13:07:40 MST.
4oz each. I have a couple and they are comparable to other wicking tees. They snag as much too... :(
and they start to stink after about two and a half minutes wearing them.
There is always a reason(usually bad) that gear winds up at STP
I love these shirts...the wicked lites don't snag like the earlier wicked tees. Best to stay with darker shades. Already got my man a union blue months ago, otherwise would have gotten another....just not orange though.

There is plenty going on here today and tomorrow. If you had a chance to listen in on the blogtalk radio show Barbara Briggs Ward went over her experience at the BEA convention last week:
Tomorrow my guests will be authors Robert Elrod and Tom Sumner at 12pm EST. Later on I will be posting on Cody Toye as he is today's Author's Spotlight. Okay let's get into today's action. There is some stuff swirling around this edition of The Dead Man series, pretty cool stuff in fact. If you haven't read "The Walk", which I have, there is a great opportunity here for you to get both of these novels for a great price. Check this out:
"It was two years ago today that, at Joe Konrath's urging, I began my "Kindle Experiment" by making my out-of-print book THE WALK available as an ebook. I've sold close to 20,000 copies of THE WALK since then...and to celebrate, and in a blatant attempt to propel THE WALK into the top 100 on Amazon for the first time, I am selling the book for just 99 cents for the next week.
But to make the offer even sweeter, and to promote my original ebook series THE DEAD MAN, anyone who emails me proof of purchase (at email@example.com) will get a free copy of FACE OF EVIL. That's two books for just 99 cents.
Here's the link to THE WALK on Amazon...
http://www.amazon.com/The-Walk-ebook/dp/B002BSHHTQ "
I really had a good time with "The Walk" just go back into my archives for the post or check out my thoughts in the usual places including Amazon that I place my posts.
Here is the synopsis on the latest installment of The Dead Man Series:
"BOOK #4 in the thrilling DEAD MAN saga, the action/horror series that readers and book critics alike are hailing as "an epic tale" that compares to the best of Stephen King and Dean Koontz...
Matt Cahill thought he was alone with his torment, that he was the only one who could see the evil in people's souls as rotting flesh. But in a small town in Tennessee, terrorized by a vicious serial killer, Matt meets a woman who may see what he does…and together they must confront a horrific and immortal terror that thrives on death."
I am hooked on this series; no two are the same, and they appear with regularity. My kind of stuff: a fun steady character, different backdrops and situations, and great action. What more can a reader ask for? But to add extra value to our reading experience the author decides to throw in some twists, turns, an axe here and there, bloodshed and some humor. Can you ask for more than that in a good read? My ereader is happy, and so am I. You don't have to be a fan of horror to enjoy this, just a fan of fun .
Things have changed around here. I am now the published author by Trestle Press of "I Have Chrome Balls, Don't You?" an "In Between The Collaborations", "Down Low- Dead" with Vincent Zandri, "The Jersey Shore Has Eyes" with Big Daddy Abel", "G.S.I Gelati's Scoop Investigations Psychotic Detectives" with Thomas White, "Who Whacked The Blogger" with Benjamin Sobieck,"Thad and The G-Man's Most Awesome Adventure" with Thad Brown and the soon to be released "Hotel Beaumont" with B.R. Stateham. All the stories are available @ Amazon, Barnes & Nobles and Smashwords. I am also the host of the wildly popular The G-ZONE blogtalk radio show. Thanks for stopping by today; We will see you tomorrow. Have a great day. http://www.gelatisscoop.blogspot.com
