An astonishing variety of creatures inhabit the BrikVerse and all that it interacts with. Many of those creatures have predecessors, associated sub-species, mutations, suffer from transmutative afflictions, or are subject to any number of other alterations. Some maintain sentience while some are monsters or animalistic. The Legitimitium MultiVerse is construction toy based and so remains as one of the multiverses most teeming with life and imagination. The BrikVerse is where most of its more wild creatures are born.

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, NJ – A new snow ordinance and a salary ordinance for this fiscal year were the primary topics of discussion at the Tuesday, Jan. 22 Township Council meeting.
The snow ordinance provides for police to determine if cars should be towed from streets when they present a problem for plowing and salting. Its main purpose is to ensure safety, but four members of the public felt it to be too ambiguous in determining how much snow, sleet, hail, ice or freezing rain would be too much for a car to remain parked on one of the public streets.
The ordinance does not specify an amount. It states, "Snow (which also includes the other precipitation) accumulation means whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such that it covers the streets or highways of the Township of Berkeley Heights." Just how much will be up to police to determine. The ordinance provides residents with one hour after the existence of any "accumulation" to remove their cars.
Police Chief Michael Mathis said last year, when the ordinance came up for the first time, that police would knock on doors to request residents to remove their cars before ticketing or towing, and he repeated the same pledge on Jan. 22. He explained that because something is at police discretion does not mean the officers will always be strict.
Councilman Edward Delia brought up two analogies. "Police use discretion on every law they have," he said. Then asked the public to consider police discretion when it comes to ticketing for speeding or careless driving, which he said are not strictly enforced but left to the officer to decide.
The other primary concern was the inclusion of a provision for jail time if the ordinance is disobeyed.
According to the ordinance, "Every person convicted of a violation… shall be subject to a penalty of not more than $50 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 15 days, or both, in addition to the costs associated with the removal and storage of the vehicle…"
Mathis said that punishment is up to the judge, not his department, but there are many laws that provide for jail time, including illegally parking, where jail has not been chosen as the appropriate punishment. He noted if someone is a regular offender, then perhaps the judge might elect that option to make a point.
The ordinance was successfully introduced, with Councilman Thomas Pirone voting "no." The public hearing and adoption is scheduled for the Tuesday, Feb. 5 meeting.
Pirone said, "It poses problems for people leaving town for a few hours… It poses an undue burden on residents and businesses." He noted his daughter's birthday is in January. If snow were to arrive during her birthday party, he said cars would not be removed from the street and "nobody would be leaving" the party.
The salary ordinance was discussed at length, largely because the majority of the council was concerned that a two percent raise would disenfranchise employees who are not union members. The union contract stipulates a three percent raise, but the contract is in its last year. The ordinance does not cover union members.
Councilman Craig Pastore explained this is a budget issue, not a union issue, and the council must stick to a two percent cap overall to remain within the two percent increase in the budget allowed by state law.
The salary ordinance is a range. Pastore said the maximum of the ranges provided for are all within the two percent cap in the ordinance he has drafted, and would allow even three percent with the exception of one person, who is already earning over the maximum established. He said he adjusted that maximum to allow for a three percent raise. Although the ordinance is for people who are not members of a union, council members wanted to be "fair."
Township Administrator Amey Upchurch said there are 19 employees not covered by a union contract. Of those, 10 are paid by the library, which has already granted three percent, and the Recreation Commission. Nine employees would be covered by the salary ordinance.
Pastore's version will be introduced at the next council meeting.
Along the same line, the council voted unanimously to hire an assistant director of public works for a salary of between $55,000 and $65,000. The department has been short of people for quite some time. This position is already included in the salary ordinance and has a job description. It will not be a union job.
Upchurch said the new assistant would help DPW Director Robert Bocchino, "offload" some projects from his duty list and relieve him of recycling responsibilities.
Bocchino asked the council to add two part-time inspectors, one for plumbing and one for building. He said the positions have been vacant for some time. The township has been advertising for part-timers for $25 per hour but no responses have been received.
There is currently a third party doing these inspections. That company receives 100 percent of the fee charged and the township adds on an additional 15 percent to cover its expenses for the inspections, Mayor Joseph Bruno said.
Upchurch said the salary survey she did in preparation for the ordinance indicates hourly subcode officials make an average of $41.88 per hour. These people are classified as part-time professionals.
Pastore said he feels the range should be between $20-$40 per hour if the person is licensed. The council agreed that Bocchino could start looking, applying that range.
Council President Kevin Hall said, "It's also logical that people be put on the clock."
All members of the council are in favor of that, for everyone. Both hourly and salaried employees will be punching a clock as soon as one is purchased.

Around 30 pounds of marijuana hitched a ride across the Mexican border on the underside of a car, surprising the driver who called the police after two men tried to grab the product.
A 33-year-old woman who lives in Mexico and works in downtown San Diego drove to work early Friday morning and was still in her car when two men approached and started removing packages from under her car, investigators told NBC 7 San Diego.
The men apparently did not realize she was still in her car, running off into a nearby black sedan when she startled them.
Police then discovered six packages, totaling 30 pounds of marijuana, attached to her car's undercarriage with strong magnets.
It's unclear who may have placed the packages on the car.

I have already created a post for the Australia Day 2012 Challenge, set by Shelley of Twigs of Yore; but sometime through the night I remembered a poem written in 1888 by Henry Wilson, a pioneer of Long Bay, better known as Malabar, a seaside suburb of Sydney, and though he seems a bitter man and the rhyme forced, I thought it was a fitting addition on this day, given its title, "The Toiler's Lament" It is unlikely Henry gained any wealth from his toil.
Henry is related to me indirectly in two ways; he was the grandfather of my Great Aunt Vera Morgan's husband another Henry Wilson, and also the Great Grandfather of my mother's cousin, Sheryl, through two different paths. A copy was sent to me by Sheryl's son Nathan.
The poem, as transcribed by Nathan goes like this:
The Toiler's Lament
By Henry Wilson
Written 1888
"Why should the wealth of this Earth
In scattered heaps be placed, for the Human Race
To those whom revel in wealth and ease
Are given the fruits of the earth and seas
While from early morn till set of sun
The labourer's task is never done
One ceaseless round of care and toil
He battles bravely with the soil
Small joys he has, One of Heaven
Life's dark hours with something leaven
As he looks on those he has given life
It nerves his arm for future strife
But when his Earthly task is O'er
When hand and brain will wrought no more
No power he had in the past to save
His resting place, a pauper's grave
And those who fattened on his toil
Base usurpers of the soil
What care they have for Human Life
For orphan born or stricken wife
Their only aim is power and place
Vampires of the Human Race"
I haven't researched Henry Wilson's life, but an entry by another of my mother's cousins, Darcy, published in the book "Maroubra & District Pioneer's Register" by the Cape Banks Family History Society has this to say about Henry.
"Great Great Grandfather was granted a parcel of land in the 1850's by the Queen [Victoria] which was on the South side of the Rifle Range. The Wilson name is on the plaque twice on the oval opposite Malabar Public School gates in Franklin Street"

Fedora 18 features an installer that is rewritten and redesigned from the ground up. This summary is meant to help you understand why the installer has been rewritten, what improvements the new installer will bring, what to expect when you work with the new installer, and some known issues with the installer that will be resolved in later releases of Fedora.
- 1 Why rewrite the installer?
- 2 New installer improvements in Fedora 18
- 3 What to expect when using the new installer
- 4 Known installer issues
Why rewrite the installer?
After many years of maintaining and developing the pre-Fedora 18 installer, the installer development team determined that a rewrite of the installer was necessary for a myriad of reasons, including the following:
- The previous installer had an aging (around 13 years old) infrastructure that was difficult and time-consuming to maintain and improve, constraining new feature development. One current install team developer refers to the old infrastructure as "an incredible mess."
- The performance of the old installer left a lot to be desired. Long-term tasks could not be performed in the background. This required long wait times and pauses throughout the installation experience. For example, as CPU and time-intensive tasks were processed, the UI would freeze for several moments until a given processing task completed.
- The previous UI was not very responsive. This manifested in various ways, including a failure of the UI screens to redraw when the display was changed between a TTY and back to the UI.
- The text-only version of the installer interface was a completely separate codebase, which increased the maintenance burden of the installer. This also increased the amount of work needed to implement new features as they would need to be written twice, once for each codebase.
- The previous codebase was not written in a modular fashion. This caused issues where similar functionality in different modes (for example, GUI vs kickstart) used different logic and resulted in inconsistencies for users.
- The automated kickstart mode of the installer was separate and incompatible with the UI modes of the installer. A separate utility, system-config-kickstart, was created solely to provide a UI for creating kickstarts since the existing UI could not be used for this purpose without a completed install.
- The live media method of installation used a different codepath than the installer than the DVD method, causing maintenance and development difficulties and resulting in an inconsistent and at times buggy user experience.
- The old installer's interface had a 'point of no return' past which any changes you'd made to your storage configuration could destroy data on your disk(s) and you couldn't go back to change it. Since the UI followed a linear path, this exact inflection point occurred close to the middle of the screen flow and required a rather discouraging pop-up dialog to explain the impact.
- In previous versions of Fedora, the installer's interface followed a wizard design pattern , consisting of multiple linear screens with occasional nested modal pop-up dialogs. (See diagram below) While nothing is inherently problematic with wizards as a design pattern, the sheer number of screens required by the installer made it unwieldy. You could end up several screens into the process and need to go back and change something on an earlier screen, requiring a lot of clicking and screen flipping to go back and return to where you left off. Multiple modal nested dialog windows also made it confusing at times to interact with certain screens, in particular the partitioning-related screens.
New installer improvements in Fedora 18
In order to address these and other issues, the installer development team changed the UI model from a linear wizard-based model to a hub and spoke model. Essentially, the installer UI has been distilled into two main menus, from which you can optionally visit various option screens. Each menu list out each sub-screen and summarizes the choices selected for each sub-screen so you can skip screens that you don't need to configure if you'd like. See the diagram below for a visual illustration of how the hub and spoke model works.
The new installer available in Fedora 18 addresses a number of issues that were difficult to solve in the old codebase:
- The new installer is written in a modular fashion, so there aren't multiple copies of code that does the same thing scattered around the codebase.
- Long-running tasks can be performed in the background as you use the installer. For example, when you first start the installer and land on the first screen for language selection, the installer is - in the background - attempting to auto-detect your network settings and set up a network connection for you.
- The UI of the new installer has been written in such a way that it does not block and freeze up while waiting for CPU and time-intensive tasks to process.
- The new installer is primarily based on kickstart, whether or not you are using the automated & unattended kickstart option to install, the text user interface, or the graphic user interface. All three, in addition to the live media installation method, share a common codebase, providing a more consistent experience across installation methods as well as a more easily-maintained codebase. Eventually, the plan is to auto-detect any kickstart files available to a system during install and offer to pre-fill the fields in the UI with the values in the kickstart to help save users time.
- With the change to a hub-and-spoke model rather than a linear wizard model, the new UI allows users to entirely skip screens that they aren't interested in interacting with, streamlining the install process to only those screens that are most essential for installation to proceed.
- When the feature is completed for Fedora 19, the new installer will allow you to complete firstboot while the installer downloads and installs Fedora to your computer, helping to further streamline the install process. If you opt to not complete firstboot during installation, it will appear after you reboot the system.
What to expect when using the new installer
Known installer issues
Please refer to the Common_F18_bugs page for information on single specific bugs (there is useful information on several particular installer bugs here, and we recommend that you read it before installing Fedora 18). This section will concentrate on more generic issues, mainly features that are missing or incomplete in Fedora 18 due to lack of development time but will be improved or restored in Fedora 19.
Enterprise storage technologies missing from interactive installation
Support for some enterprise storage features is missing from the interactive installer interface in Fedora 18. This includes technologies like multipath and FCoE: generally speaking, if you had to use the 'Specialized Storage Devices' screen in Fedora 17 and earlier, your setup may not be supported in the Fedora 18 interactive installer. Kickstart-based installs can use these features as always. The missing support will be added back for Fedora 19.
Custom partitioning does not handle some complex configurations
The custom partitioning tool in Fedora 18 is able to handle a wide range of storage cases, including various raw partition formats, LVM, LUKS encryption, software RAID, btrfs, and various combinations. However, it was not possible in the time available to ensure that every possible advanced configuration combining these supported technologies was handled. If you have a complex storage configuration which does not appear to be handled correctly by the new installer, possible workarounds including using a kickstart, or in some cases preparing the drive with a partition tool like parted before installing Fedora. Please be aware that it is safe to experiment as much as you like with the partitioning screens in the new installer: no actual changes will be written to disk until you return to the hub screen and click the Begin Installation button. If you are not confident that you were able to achieve your desired configuration, you can simply reboot the system at any time before clicking that button and no changes will have been made.
Repository configuration limitations
The options for repository configuration during interactive Fedora 18 installation are significantly more limited than in previous releases. This is again a temporary result of time pressure and will be rectified for future releases.
- It is not possible to specify additional supplementary repositories. You can of course choose the main repository location for any installation, but you cannot specify an incomplete supplementary repository containing a few additional or updated packages.
- It is not possible to configure which set of repositories any given installation will use. A DVD installation will always install only packages from the DVD itself; it cannot be supplemented with remote repositories. A network installation will always install packages from the fedora and updates repositories, and never from the updates-testing repository.
As in other cases, these restrictions do not apply to Kickstart-based installations: as in the past, you can specify any combination of repositories using a kickstart file.
Internationalization issues
As part of the changes for the new installer, some hard-coded information about various internationalization (i18n hereafter) scenarios was removed. The long-term plan is that such information should be provided in some more appropriate forum - ideally some kind of distribution-neutral, upstream project where any application (an OS installer or otherwise) which might be able to benefit from it could use it. However, in the short term, it means that the i18n experience in Fedora 18 may not be quite as polished as that in earlier releases. Specifically:
- The names of languages and locations on the Welcome screen are taken from the CLDR database. In some cases these may not reflect real-world use as well as the tweaked list of names used previously. For instance, those who read and write Simplified Chinese typically use the zh_CN locale wherever they live, and those who read and write Traditional Chinese typically use the zh_TW locale: in previous Fedora releases, these locales were labelled Chinese (Simplified) and Chinese (Traditional) to reflect this. Based on the CLDR database, they are now labelled geographically as Chinese (China) and Chinese (Taiwan).
- Previous Fedora releases offered only a subset of possible keyboard layouts to the user at installation time, but each of these options was tweaked to produce an optimal configuration. When you selected one of the keyboard types the installer knew about, it configured an appropriate console layout and X keyboard layout: in cases where users typically configure both a 'native' and a U.S. layout and switch between them in order to enter both 'native' and Roman characters, the installer would configure both X layouts and a keyboard combination to switch between them. The new installer does not have this special knowledge any more: the Keyboard spoke simply allows you to configure any combination of all the X layouts available in Fedora, and any layout switch combination you like if you configure more than one. This is more flexible, but requires a little more work and knowledge on the user's part.

Asian soybean rust confirmed on soybean plant tissue submitted to Iowa State University
Asian soybean rust has been confirmed on soybean plant tissue submitted to Iowa State University. This soybean residue was recovered from a bin of soybeans produced in Iowa in 2006. Bill Northey, Secretary of Agriculture with the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, said the finding does not necessarily increase the risk for the 2007 crop.

10 Things I Wish Someone Told Me 10 Years Ago – A Man's Advice To His 21-Year Old Self
November 30, 2012 | No Comments » | Topics: Life
#10 – For the most part, what others think doesn't matter.
Ten years ago I was a 17 year old high school student who let the opinions of other people largely influence my choices. It was a dumb way to live, considering that ten years later, those people whose opinions I held in such high regard aren't even a part of my life anymore!
The times when someone else's opinion of you truly matters are few and far between. Think first impressions, like meeting your significant other's family, meeting a new client, or meeting a potential employer for a job interview.
Don't let other people rent space in your head. What they think of you isn't important. What matters most is how you feel about yourself.
#9 – Explore new hobbies and opportunities often.
When I cared about what other people might think about me, I never tried new things. I was afraid that if I sucked at something, I'd be embarrassed. To spare myself the embarrassment of being bad at something new, I would never explore opportunities to learn a new skill, or start a new hobby.
Looking back on it, I see it as lots of time lost!
Nowadays I'm always anxious to put myself out there and learn something new. I sing at karaoke, I enter juggling contests, and I play Euchre even though I suck at all of them. I try new things as they come up, whether it's a new restaurant, a new beer, or a new pastime. When you try new things, you discover more and more things that you enjoy.
Currently, I have plans to master the piano, the pool table, the surfboard, and the pen in my lifetime. They're things that I know I love. Still, if you were to introduce me to a unicycle today, I'd hop right on to try and take it for a spin, fall off, and then hop on again!
As Harold and Maude put it best, "Everyone has the right to make an ass out of themselves. You just can't let the world judge you too much."
#8 – Nobody knows what you're thinking unless you tell them.
People can't read your mind. This goes for your significant other, your employer, and that hot girl you're too scared to talk to.
Ten years ago I was dating someone I no longer wanted to date. I knew that I was unhappy in the relationship, but she didn't. Consequently, I waited and waited for things to improve, but they never did. I want to scream at my young self: Well no shiet things didn't improve. You never told her anything was wrong!
Relationships can't improve unless you communicate. This applies to your relationship with your employer also — if you're working hard at your job and believe that you deserve a raise, you probably won't get it unless you ask for it.
Simply put, your supervisor doesn't know what you want. Don't wait for them to come to you, because your blood will boil over and you'll end up quitting before it ever happens. Ask to meet privately and spell it out for them!
As for that hot girl, if you don't say anything before she walks out that door, then she's going to walk out of your life forever having never known you. Don't let it happen. Learn to communicate so people can know you.
#7 – Talk to everyone in college.
Professors. Classmates. Roommates. Neighbors. Frats. Sororities. Clubs. Students outside of your major. Students outside of your social clique. Returning students that are older than you. Teaching assistants. Resident assistants. Adjuncts. Tutors. Career advisors. Deans. Librarians. Friends.
Why? Networking. When employers look for a good match for a job opening, the first thing they do is ask the people they're already working with if they know someone who would do well in the position. They tend to look through resumes as a last resort.
College is the best opportunity you'll ever have to build a complex, varied network of smart people. Use it to your advantage and get your name out there, because grades mean nothing in the real world.
Also, live it up, because college is fuking awesome. Trust me when I tell you that after you've graduated, you'll go through college withdrawal. There's a reason why so many people say it's the best four years of your life.
#6 – Leave every job on good terms.
No matter how good it might feel to tell your boss to suck it right before storming out of a dead-end job forever, it is never worth it. You will probably need another job someday, and you might just need some good references to get it.
Giving up all opportunities for future recommendations for one fleeting moment to tell your employer what you really think about them is a bad trade. Give two weeks notice, and say thanks for the opportunity to work with them — even if it's bullshiet.
#5 – Pay your dues.
Even though you may have been hot shiet in college, or at your last job, it will not grant you the slightest amount of entitlement in a new position for a new employer. In many companies, you're basically getting in line to wait your turn to move up the ladder, and it may take years to advance beyond positions of indentured servitude.
Stick to it. Hopping from company to company looking for something "better" may allow you to get ahead in the short-term, but in the long-term your resume will become a mishmash of temporary stints that makes you look like a quitter.
In the end, persistence creates an impression of dedication and relevant experience — and it will outshine any other attribute, every time.
So take a look around. If you're absolutely certain you're on the right career path, then stick to it. Pay your dues. Climb ladders. It will be your turn soon enough.
#4 – Invest in yourself.
When you invest in yourself you can never lose. This applies to everything:
Learn to cook. You'll save a bajillion dollars on food in your lifetime.
Learn a foreign language. You'll expand your horizons and be easily employable.
Learn to spend less than you earn. You'll never be broke.
#3 – You can't change anything by just sitting back and looking at it.
Change requires two things: a conscious decision to accomplish something, and follow-through. If you want something accomplished, then do it now. If it can't be done now, then do it today. If it can't be done today, then start it today.
Change is tough, but the most difficult step is getting started. Of course once you've actually started, the most difficult step is following through. Change is tricky like that — but know that if you truly want it, you'll find a way to create change in your life.
#2 – Expect people to be negative, especially if you're carving your own path.
In all walks of life, you won't see eye-to-eye with everyone. People will come out of the woodwork to tell you that you'll fail, tell you that you suck, laugh at you, argue with you, call you names, write you messages laced with profanity, and be altogether unpleasant. As Tony Gazzo from Rocky put it, "Some guys, they just hate for no reason."
The thing is, although it's common to receive negativity from strangers, you'll find that even the people you know and love can surprise you with negative attitudes. No matter who it is that's trying to boo you off the stage, don't let them succeed in doing so.
#1 – Do what you are.
We've all heard that "If you love what you do, you will never work another day in your life." The problem is that few people seem to actually have this luxury.
It seems that somewhere along the line the consensus changed to "If you do what you need to do, when you need to do it, then maybe someday you can do what you want to do, when you want to do it." You end up spending the majority of your life waiting for that someday to arrive.
It's mostly unavoidable though, since we spend most of our growing years hearing things like:
You need to go to college.
You need to get a job.
You need to keep working even if you don't like your job, to pay for college.
You need to save for retirement, so that you have the option to retire.
Once you finally make it to retirement, then you can finally do what you want. It seems so backwards, doesn't it?
When I'm not distracting myself from how repetitive my job is, I always think about how I'm slowly trading away the sunny days of my youth for "job security." I show up, put my butt in a chair for eight hours a day, and collect a paycheck. Congratulations, I've traded away some time for some money.
I don't feel alive at my job. I do shiet that's unimportant to me. I'd rather spend my time doing anything else, but the things I want to do wouldn't pay me the way my boring job does.
Consequently, I write. Not because it earns me a lot of money, but because I feel most alive when I'm writing. For me, to not write is suicide — and I desperately wish that I realized this about me sooner.
If I could offer my younger self some real advice, I'd tell myself not to base my career choice on what someone else recommended. I'd tell myself not to pick a major because it's what's popular. I'd tell myself not to get into a career field for the money.
I'd tell myself that the right choice is much simpler: Do what you are. As long as you're true to yourself, and follow your own interests, you can find success through passion. Perhaps more importantly, you won't wake up ten years later in a career field you hate wondering "What the hell happened?"

Technical Implementation Notice 14-19
National Weather Service Headquarters Washington DC
1020 AM EDT Tue Apr 29 2014
To: Subscribers:
-Family of Services
-NOAA Weather Wire Service
-Emergency Managers Weather Information Network
Other NWS Partners, Users and Employees
From: Timothy McClung
Science Plans Branch Chief
Office of Science and Technology
Subject: Hurricane Weather and Research Forecast
(HWRF) Model Changes: Effective June 3, 2014
Effective on or about Tuesday, June 3, 2014, beginning with the
1200 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) run, the National Centers
for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) will upgrade the HWRF
Princeton Ocean Model (POM) coupled system. The scientific
enhancements include the following:
-Increase the vertical resolution of the HWRF atmospheric model
from 43 to 61 levels and raise the model top from 50 hPa to
2 hPa, expand the size of the 9km domain by 20 percent (from
10 degrees x10 degrees to 12 degrees x 12 degrees) and 3km domain
by 10 percent (from 6.5 degrees x 6.5 degrees to 7.1 degrees
x 7.1 degrees).
-Upgrade the nest movement algorithm to generate storm total
rain and wind swath products directly from the model output.
-Upgrade WRF NMM core to WRF community version V3.5.1.
-Upgrade the ocean model (POM) to 1/12 degrees MPI POM with unified
trans-Atlantic basin, and for the first time, 3D ocean for
Eastern Pacific basin.
-Make further improvements to HWRF vortex initialization scheme
including cycling the invests to prevent cold start for a
named/numbered storm
-Improve HWRF Data Assimilation System through upgrade of one-
way hybrid EnKF-3DVAR GSI to community version V3.3, data
assimilation to include all conventional and satellite radiance
data and aircraft Tail Doppler Radar (TDR)/Dropsonde data in the
9km domain; only conventional, TDR and Dropsonde data in the 3km
-Add operational forecast products from HWRF to include tornado
probability forecasts and new variables for downstream
applications (hurricane wave model)
-Fix bugs and enhancements for the GFDL vortex tracker
The 2014 HWRF model configuration has been extensively tested
with a combination of all the upgrades listed above for a 6-year
sample of cases (2008-2013) and the results showed that for
Atlantic basin track and intensity, the 2014 HWRF showed about
10 percent improvement compared to the current operational HWRF.
Product Changes:
-ASCII files of storm total wind and rain swath will have twice
the resolution (0.05o) than the current operational products
-HWRF tracker output (ATCF) will now include hourly data for the
first 9 hours and 3-hourly for rest of the forecast period.
-The auxiliary history files for wave model in binary format
(out4wave_d01, out4wave_d02 and out4wave_d03) will be replaced
by new files in netCDF format (wrfdiag_d01, wrfdiag_d02 and
Additional products and their contents:
-3D fields in all GRIB2 files will now have 6 additional levels
(30, 20, 10, 7, 5 and 2 hPa)
-The following fields will be added to the GRIB2 files:
CIN (Convective Inhibition)
Storm Relative Helicity
19GHz simulated brightness temperature from SSMI/S F17 (both
vertical and horizontal polarizations)
Rime factor on pressure surface
-The auxiliary history files (wrfdiag_d01, wrfdiag_d02 and
wrfdiag_d03) will include the following additional fields:
Incoming/Outgoing Radiation
SST, fluxes for sensible heat, latent heat and momentum
Lowest model level temperature and height
Tornado genesis
More details about the HWRF-MPIPOM are available at:
The HWRF GRIB2 products are disseminated via the NCEP FTP server
and are not available on NOAAPORT or AWIPS.
These changes will result in up to a 12-minute delay in product
dissemination time. A change in delivery time was proposed in an
NWS Public Information Statement issued March 25, 2014. Based on
the responses received, NWS will move forward with this change
in dissemination time of the HWRF products.
NCEP encourages users to ensure their decoders are flexible and
are able to adequately handle changes in content order, changes
in the scaling factor component within the product definition
section (PDS) of the GRIB files, and any volume changes which
may be forthcoming. These elements may change with future NCEP
model implementations. NCEP will make every attempt to alert
users to these changes prior to any implementations.

SLP 591 Clinical Externship (will enroll 3 times at 2 credit hours each or 2 times at 3 credit hours each)
Approved Electives (9-12 credit hours must be completed)
Transferring Graduate Credits
The Graduate School will allow up to 12 graduate credits from other accredited institutions. An official transcript showing a grade of B or better in the course with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better is required. All graduate transfer credit must be approved by the department's Committee to Evaluate Coursework. A syllabus must be presented to [email protected] to be submitted for approval by the committee. All coursework towards the Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology must be completed within 6 years, therefore, courses taken more than 3-4 years before beginning the program would not transfer.
Upon graduation, students will be eligible to apply for the ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC). Most settings require the CCC and it is considered the gold standard for employment in speech-language pathology. All states require a license to practice. The state license may be in addition to the CCC. Some states also require teacher certification to work in the schools.
Eligibility for teacher certification is not available as part of the Speech-Language Pathology Graduate Program at WKU. Consequently, students graduating from the Master's program after September 1, 2014 are not eligible for teacher certification in Kentucky. Speech-language pathologists do not need teacher certification to work in Kentucky schools although some districts prefer it.
Students seeking school-based employment in states other than Kentucky should determine if their potential out-of-state employer requires teacher certification eligibility in Kentucky. Some states require that teacher certification applicants be eligible for certification in the state from which the Master's degree was earned. Some states just require that applicants be eligible for the ASHA CCC, while other states do not offer teacher certification for speech-language pathologists. Because of the array of requirements across the country, potential students should decide if the WKU graduate program would meet their needs based on the requirements where employment may be sought. Individual state requirements may be viewed at: http://www.asha.org/advocacy/state/info/
Summative Assessment: Summative evaluations are required by The Graduate School and our accrediting agency. This department uses the PRAXIS exam as the summative evaluation. Students must take and pass the PRAXIS exam in Speech-Language Pathology. The passing score is 162 and meets the ASHA requirement for certification. Effective August 2009, the PRAXIS exam can only be taken during the last semester of the graduate program. PRAXIS exams taken before this period will not be accepted as the summative evaluation required for graduation. Students who do not pass the PRAXIS exam must enroll in a matriculation course until the successfully passing the exam. The last 4 months is defined as:
- If graduating in Spring: January 15 – May 15
- If graduating in Summer: April 15 – August 15
- If graduating in Fall: August 15 – December 15
For students who are going to graduate in May 2017, Please select 0108 as the WKU code for the PRAXIS!
Final Portfolio: Each student will complete a portfolio during the last semester of coursework. The portfolio is comprised of clinical goal statements and reflection statements completed throughout the clinical experiences.
Clinical Hours: A minimum of 400 clinical hours are required in order to graduate. See Clinical Internship and Externship links to the right of this page for additional information.
Knowledge and Skills Acquisition: All students must demonstrate that they are competent in the knowledge and skills as defined by the 2014 ASHA Standards. This will be measured by instructors and supervisors throughout the program. The competencies will be kept in a database called CALIPSO that students will be able to access and track as they complete. CALIPSO is a website that will also track additional information required during the graduate program. There is a one time student access fee of $85.
Forms: The following forms are required by The Graduate School during your course of study:
Program of Study: This program form for Master's level students details your plan of study. The Graduate School checks this against what you have completed before you can graduate. The form must be completed with your advisor prior to completion of 12 credit hours.
Application for Graduation. Due after completion of 18 hours coursework.
Comprehensive Exam/Capstone Completion: Due during the last semester once the PRAXIS examination has been completed. Completed by student advisor.
The Department will not issue letters or sign forms stating a student has completed the program until the diploma is awarded by Western Kentucky University.

Awesome, overwhelming, thought provoking, tiring, fun, wonderful,
full of personal mistakes (like losing things and missing out on several events),
crazy, frustrating, exciting
- John
Magis was an experience different from any other trip I've been on before. Even though there were language barriers, I felt incredibly close to our experience group by the end of the week on el Camino de Santiago. Together, we were able to overcome physical exhaustion by strumming on a guitar and sharing songs in multiple languages, creating humorous memories while attempting to speak in new languages, and finding comfort in hearing testimonies of faith from our new international and college friends. It was a blessing to create such fond memories with an amazing group of people.
- Patricia
It was such a gift to lead a fantastic group of Marquette students to Magis and World Youth Day. As a Jesuit, it was tremendous to visit Loyola, the birthplace of St. Ignatius, and to see students from all over the world who were inspired by the Ignatian vision. I especially enjoyed living, eating, praying, and working with a group of 25 students from Marquette, Spain, and Mauritius for a week and seeing how these students from very different parts of the world became such good friends.
- Michael, S.J.
Honestly, I believe that as humans we all have something in us that makes us want more. I believe that we all have something in us that wants us to be the best version of ourselves, that challenges us to be our fullest self, that pushes us to grow towards something greater. Thats just it: that there is something beyond us which gives us meaning to life. Because things as humans are not so simple and there is not one algebraic truth that can answer all questions... because there is no one word that can put us at peace- we search for something greater. That was the reality of this WYD Mass. We were all there for God. A community of believers that try to make sense of this world because we know that God is digging at our hearts.
- Sarah
... at the end of every long and hard day, there was great joy in our group. We were grateful to rest together, to talk about our sufferings, but now to do it with a laugh as friends in the Lord. We had gone through something difficult together and we supported each other and together we overcame the difficulties! In a sense, this is a perfect model for the life of the whole Church. We come from every corner of the globe. We share nothing and everything in common and we grow closer to one another when we undertake the journey together. Of course, this solidarity exists among us infinitely more powerfully because God himself has joined us in our pilgrimage in the person of Jesus. he has joined every bit of our struggles and when we realize he is with us, we too can come together at the end of the day to remember both the joys and the difficulties together, but now we do it as friends who have conquered difficulty together and can now laugh at it - rejoice in it, even.
- Fr. Chris, S.J.
This trip changed my life. The memories I made with new friends, with myself,
and with God will stay with me forever.
- Rachel

12" Type R / Type S Grill
The KTE-12G Subwoofer Grill provides an attractive, durable way to protect your Alpine Type S or Type R subwoofers.
Professional installation available at authorized retailers.
Sleek Looks
The KTE-12G is engineered to provide awesome cosmetics when compared to other generic subwoofer grills. A tapered rubber screw cover meets perfectly with the black mesh grill, and it is sized to match the Alpine Type S and Type R subwoofer gaskets exactly. Either of the included Type S and Type R logos fit into a recessed area in the grill for a professional, finished look.
Durable Construction
The KTE-12G Subwoofer Grill is made from the sturdiest materials…powder-coated, heavy-duty fine mesh grill material along with a thick, textured-rubber screw cover that snaps securely in place.
Easy Installation
The KTE-12G includes mounting hardware that installs under the subwoofer's mounting screws, so installation is easy. Just remove the screws holding the subwoofer in place, put the included mounting tabs over the screw holes, and re-mount the subwoofer using the longer screws included with the KTE-12G.
Works with Alpine Type S and Type R subwoofers
The KTE-12G is compatible with Alpine's Type S and Type R subwoofers, including the SWS-1223D, SWS-1243D, SWR-1223D, SWR-1243D, and SWR-T12. Type S and Type R logos are both included in the box, and they firmly attach to the grill with strong double-sided tape.

INV: OPEC May Extend Limits On Oil Production
In this report we consider studying the personal composite instrument (PCI) BRENT to euro. It reflects the Brent oil dynamics to euro. PCI may rise in case of higher oil prices while euro will lose positions to the U.S. dollar.
Oil advanced on Tuesday more than 2% in global market. The militant groups blocked the Sharara and Wafa oil fields in Western part of Libya. This made national oil production fall by about one third or by 252 thousand barrels per day (bpd). The additional negative factor for prices was the speech by Iran, Russia and Azerbaijan representatives on reasonability of oil production cuts by OPEC and other oil producers in the 2nd half of the current year. In December 2016 OPEC members agreed to cut oil production by 1.8mln barrels a day.
The main negative factor for Brent may be the next increase in oil reserves in the US. The official data will come out on Wednesday. The stocks are expected to increase 1.2mln barrels. They are currently being at the historical high of 533,1mln barrels.
The euro fell against the U.S. dollar on Tuesday as the Chicago and Dallas Fed presidents said the further Fed rate hike is essential. The ECB Governing Council member Jan Smets said, in his turn, that the proponents of monetary tightening are outnumbered yet. Any announcements on the prospects of the ECB rate hike are expected no earlier than its next meeting on April 27, 2017 takes place.
On the daily chart BRENT/EUR : D1 failed to break down through the 200-day moving average serving the support line. It is struggling to correct up. The further increase is probable in case of negative news from Europe and weaker euro as well as in case of higher global oil prices.
The Parabolic indicator gives bullish signals.
The Bollinger bands have widened which means higher volatility.
The RSI is below 50. It has formed positive divergence.
The MACD gives bullish signals.
The bullish momentum may develop in case BRENT/EUR surpasses the 1st Fibonacci Fan at 48.5. This level may serve the point of entry. The initial stop-loss may be placed below the last fractal low, the 200-day moving average and the Parabolic signal at 45.5. Having opened the pending order we shall move the stop to the next fractal low following the Parabolic and Bollinger signals. Thus, we are changing the probable profit/loss ratio to the breakeven point. The most risk-averse traders may switch to the 4-hour chart after the trade and place there a stop-loss moving it in the direction of the trade. If the price meets the stop-loss level at 45.5 without reaching the order at 48.5, we recommend cancelling the position: the market sustains internal changes which were not taken into account.

Jekyll Island Beaches and Trails
off SR 520
Jekyll Island,
These beaches look like a Caribbean island setting. It is hard to believe that you just drove here over a causeway. Dogs on leash are welcome year round on the beach and the paved and dirt trails. There are about 10 miles of beaches and 20 miles of inland paved and dirt trails. It is recommended that your pooch stay on the paved trails instead of the dirt trails during the warm summer months because there are too many ticks along the dirt trails. On warmer days you might choose a beach walk rather than the inland trails anyway because of the cooler ocean breezes.
DogFriendly.com, with tens of thousands of places listed to take your dog to, will be releasing on it's Dog News blog, Facebook page and on Twitter a list of 200 Top Places that you can take your dog in the U.S. and Canada. This list, while intended to highlight top places that are especially pet-friendly, is not designed to be the absolutely top 200 places that we could find, but a sampling of the top places so that all regions, types of attractions, hotels, B&Bs, vacation rentals, parks, beaches, shopping and more can be considered. No doubt each of you will find many other places not on this list or our full list of dog-friendly places at http://www.dogfriendly.com. Please let us know about them by commenting on the blog or emailing us at email@example.com. You can also let us and our readers know if you agree or disagree with the selections, or your experiences there. Please keep in mind that places often change their policies regarding dogs and thus may have different policies at any time in the future.

Evil forces lurk in the darkness and in the shadows for the unwary traveller. Mysteries from ancient times. Unexplored and undiscovered knowledge bring great horror and fear.

U.S. teens now live in a world in which the Internet, cell phones, text messaging and other technology dominate their communication and are an integral part of life as they understand it. Despite the hype about very public breakups using modern technology, young people still seem to grasp the rules for these communication tools and know when it is appropriate to use these items to gather information and when to avoid them altogether. According to Suzanne Martin, Ph.D., Youth and Education Researcher at Harris Interactive, "Teens utilize different modes of communication in different social contexts."
When the tone of a communication is serious, such as arguing and breaking up with someone, teens realize that communication tools may not be the best avenue of discussion. Two in three teens (67%) would not break up with someone and two in five (42%) would not argue with a friend over phones, email, instant messaging, text messaging, or social networking sites. When choosing a communication tool, teens will most likely choose to use cell phones and landline phones to talk to a friend about something serious or important (cell phone 34%, landline phone 23%); apologize to a friend (cell phone 22%, landline phone 20%); or break up with someone (cell phone 14%, landline phone 9%).
These are just some of the results of a Harris Interactive YouthQuery(SM) omnibus of 1,726 U.S. youth ages 8 through 18, which was conducted online from December 14 to 22, 2006. The survey was conducted in collaboration with marketing professors Elizabeth Moore, Ph.D. and William Wilkie, Ph.D. of the Mendoza College of Business at the University of Notre Dame. Although the survey was conducted among youth ages 8 through 18, the information in this document will focus on teens ages 13 through 18.
Teens are cautious when using technology
Caution abound, teens generally shy away from using certain communication tools to discuss
personal items. About one in three teens say they are not comfortable gossiping, sharing secrets or having private conversations using phones, email, instant or text messaging. Teens feel more comfortable discussing touchy subjects when using instant messaging (29%), than cell phones (14%), text messaging (11%) and social networking websites (10%).
Overall, teens are most comfortable using cell phones, instant messaging and landline phones to have a private conversation (cell phone 29%, instant messaging 16%, landline phone 15%), sharing a secret (cell phone 25%, instant messaging 11%, landline phone, 14%) and gossiping (cell phone 17%, instant messaging 17%, landline phone 14%). Teens are also more likely to hear rumors about people through instant messaging (31%) and social networking website (27%).
Cell phones impact day to day communication as well
Not surprisingly, general teen day to day communications occur most over cell phones, social networking websites and landline phones. Cell phones are the number one choice for arranging to meet with friends (36%), having quick conversations (29%), contacting a friend when bored (25%) and inviting people to a party or event (22%). Social networking websites are the choice of communication when staying in touch with friends (24%), leaving short messages (23%) and contacting a friend in different school or town (21%).
When comparing the different modes of communication, youth feel they would be most likely to miss out on the activities with friends if they didn't have a cell phone (29%). If teens want to feel more outgoing and have more time to think about what they have to say, they are more likely to use instant messaging to communicate over cell phones, text messaging or social networking websites.
The Harris Interactive YouthQuery(SM) omnibus was conducted online within the United States between December 14 and 22, 2006 among a nationwide cross section of 1,726 youth ages 8 through 18 (703 tweens, ages 8-12; 1,023 teens, ages 13 to 18). Figures for age, sex, race, education, parents' education, region and urbanicity were weighted where necessary to bring them into line with their actual proportions in the population.
In theory, with a probability sample of this size, one can say with 95 percent certainty the results would have a sampling error of +/- 3 percentage points of what they would be if the entire U.S. teen population had been polled with complete accuracy. Unfortunately, there are
several other possible sources of error in all polls or surveys that are probably more serious
than theoretical calculations of sampling error. They include refusals to be interviewed (nonresponse), question wording and question order, and weighting. It is impossible to quantify the errors that may result from these factors. This online sample was not a probability sample.
These statements conform to the principles of disclosure of the National Council on Public Polls.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y., Oct. 9 (UPI) -- Running back Fred Jackson rolled up 196 yards of total offense Sunday and the Buffalo Bills handed Philadelphia its fourth straight loss, 31-24.
The Bills took advantage of five Eagles turnovers, scoring 17 points off the miscues.
Jackson gained 111 yards on the ground in 26 carries and hauled down six passes for 85 more for the Bills (4-1), who rebounded from their first loss of the year last week.
The Eagles, meanwhile, fell to 1-4 in a mistake-filled effort.
Micheal Vick was picked off four times -- one of which was returned for a 31-yard touchdown by linebacker Nick Barnett with 1:49 left.

Judge considers motions in Afghan killings case
JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. The U.S. soldier accused of murdering 16 Afghan villagers during a pre-dawn rampage last year appeared in a military courtroom Tuesday for a hearing that focused largely on what might happen if he's convicted, including which family members and friends could speak on his behalf.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys argued over who might testify in support of Staff Sgt. Robert Bales at any sentencing hearing, should it come to that. Such testimony could help determine whether he receives the death penalty.
The Ohio native and father of two from Lake Tapps, Wash., is accused of murdering Afghan villagers, mostly women and children, early on March 11, 2012. Bales, who was on his fourth combat deployment, slipped away from his base in southern Afghanistan to attack two nearby villages and returned soaked in blood, prosecutors say.
- U.S. soldier accused in Afghan massacre defers plea
- Army seeks death penalty in Afghan massacre case
- Family stands by Staff Sgt. Robert Bales as hearing ends in Afghan massacre case
He has not yet entered a plea, but it is standard under military law for pretrial motions to address sentencing issues.
Bales' court martial has been set for September. His lawyers maintain that they cannot be ready to try a death penalty case by then. One of them, Emma Scanlan, is due to give birth that month.
The judge, Col. Jeffery Nance, set what he described as a flexible deadline of May 29 for Bales' lawyers to say whether they will present any sort of mental health defense at trial or during sentencing.
Defense attorneys previously gave the court a list of witnesses they intend to call at sentencing people who might show their client in a good light or explain anything troubling in his background that might warrant leniency.
Army prosecutors told the judge that not all of the witnesses were necessary. In some cases, the judge, Col. Col. Jeffery Nance, agreed: It likely would be redundant for two of Bales' older brothers to testify, he said, and so defense attorneys should call just one.
Likewise, the judge said, the defense would not need to call a teacher, principal and football coach from Norwood High School in Norwood, Ohio, where Bales grew up. Two of the three would do, he said.
But Nance did say Bales' mother and aunt both would be allowed to speak, as they offered differing perspectives on his life. Such testimony from the aunt could include family mental health issues or descriptions of Bales' mother's use of alcohol while she was pregnant with him, the judge suggested.
"A lot of our witnesses that we want to testify in a potential penalty phase will be here, including Sgt. Bales' mother," Scanlan said after the hearing. "She's a very important witness to who he was as a child and who he is a man."
Among the other witnesses defense lawyers might call on Bales' behalf is his high school football teammate Marc Edwards, a future running back at Notre Dame and later NFL teams including the 2002 Super Bowl champion New England Patriots.
Other issues discussed at the hearing included the defense team's request to have a new psychiatric expert to help determine whether Bales was suffering from mental issues, such as post-traumatic stress disorder.
Citing attorney-client privilege, Scanlan did not say why the request was made. The defense team provided its reasons to the judge but not prosecutors in a confidential court filing.
Prosecutors objected to the motion, saying it smacked of witness shopping, and the judge said he would rule later. He said the same about the defense team's request for a consultant to be appointed to help them pick jurors.
Bales' legal team also is requesting the handwritten notes of the first Afghan government officials who viewed the crime scene.
The defense has received an official report about those findings, but lawyers said the notes could yield information left out of the report. Prosecutors said they so far have been unable to obtain the notes from the Afghans. At the judge's request, they agreed to make another attempt through official channels.
"They took a lot of notes, and that's what we want to see," Major Greg Malson, one of Bales' attorneys, said after the hearing.
During a preliminary hearing late last year, prosecutors built a strong eyewitness case against the veteran soldier, with troops recounting how they saw Bales return to the base alone, covered in blood.
