Madrid, Spain
Cancun, Mexico
More info about studying in Cancun, Mexico
This course is designed for all Lakeland University majors, but it is especially designed for resort management majors and students with an interest in the Spanish language and cultures, those wishing to experience and become educated in the areas of hospitality, the Spanish language and travel and tourism in Cancun, México. Students will attend classes for one week at Lakeland University to learn about the hospitality and tourism industry with special emphasis on Cancun, México. "Survival" Spanish will be taught in conjunction with learning about the people, culture, food and beverages, norms and customs. This will include several presentations that students will research and present to prepare them for what they will experience during their travels.
The travel portion of the course will include a seven-night/eight-day trip to Cancun, México, where the students will tour local resorts, enjoy sightseeing trips to tourist attractions, visit ancient Mayan ruins and explore the early Mexican culture. Students will apply the "survival" Spanish learned, utilizing the language while interacting with the locals and other tourists in both social and formal settings. A comparison of the resort industry in an international setting to that of the United States will also be a focus. Upon returning from Cancun, the students will prepare and present a number of presentations reflecting on their experiences in Cancun, which include interviewing a native, a final summation of the language, people, culture, norms, food and beverages and a compilation of a daily log kept during their trip.
The next trip is tentatively scheduled for May 2015. For more information, please contact Elizabeth K. Fronczak, Assistant Professor of Spanish, by email at .
Belize: Tropical Studies Course
More info about Lakeland's Belize: Tropical Studies Course
Lakeland's tropical studies course is an advanced, four-credit, May term course on tropical forest and coral reef ecology that takes students on a 15-day ecotour of Belize. The focus of the course is experiential learning in Belize along with formal lectures by both the Lakeland instructors and faculty on site in Belize.
BIO 400 is designed to explore the fundamental properties of both terrestrial and marine habitats in the tropics with an emphasis placed on research projects conceptualized and carried out by students in a lowland tropical rainforest. The logistics of the Belize portion of the course are handled by the Belize Foundation for Research & Environmental Education (BFREE) and several, mandatory, pre-May term meetings during the spring semester are scheduled to prepare for the course.
Applications for the tropical studies program are due at the end of the fall semester of odd numbered years and the course occurs during the May terms of even numbered years. The course is designed for biology, chemistry, biochemistry or secondary education, science majors who have completed BIO 350 General Ecology or who have consent from the instructors.
The May 2014 tropical ecology course student fees were $2,900 per student before fund-raising efforts so students generally paid less than that amount. The above cost is all inclusive (airfare, all meals, lodging, in-country transportation, etc.). The fee does not include souvenirs, any alcoholic purchases or telephone cards for calls back to the U.S.

Modified Mustangs & FordsFeatured Vehicles
1967 Ford Mustang GT Fastback - This Time
On the second time around with his '67 fastback, Bryan Adams builds the Mustang he always wanted
Let's get this clear straight away: The Bryan Adams who built and owns the gorgeous red '67 Mustang fastback in this story is not that Bryan Adams. This one is from Kansas, not Canada. And he wasn't even born yet in the summer of 1969, let alone recalls playing in a garage band at the time.
Nevertheless, this Bryan Adams has made his creative mark, albeit in an entirely different genre—the world of classic Mustangs.
Adams bought the car way back in 1991 as the replacement for a '67 coupe with a 289 that was totaled by a drunk driver—a circumstance that must have undoubtedly "cut like a knife" for the young enthusiast. Technically, there was an '82 Mustang GT that bridged the gap between the two cars, but it was definitely a placeholder until a suitable replacement classic Mustang was located.
Another coupe that was affordable and easy to modify was what Adams was looking for when he spotting a local ad for the Fastback. It was admittedly rough, but was advertised as an authentic GT. Not surprisingly, he was skeptical—only about 5 percent of the more than 472,000 Mustangs built in 1967 were GT/GTA models.
"I had looked at plenty of cars with my dad that were claimed to be GTs but weren't," says Adams. "When I realized it was a real GT, I decided to hold off on the search for a coupe and build the fastback."
It was an admittedly rough starting point. Adams purchased it from the second owner, who had himself purchased it for his daughter. She turned her nose up at the dilapidated condition, so dear-old dad threw a "for sale" sign in the window. It was a fairly basic A-code car with the Top Loader four-speed, along with factory power steering, power front disc brakes, air conditioning and the fold-down rear seat. It was also an original red fastback with a black interior. Nice attributes, every one of them.
"At first, because it was a real GT, I was reluctant to make modifications," he says. "I finally decided to only make changes that could be reversed."
In 1992, Adams—with his father's help mostly on the bodywork and paint—rebuilt the car to mostly stock condition. It was an admirable result for an at-home restoration, and the car looked great.
"The paint and bodywork really turned out well and I temporarily fixed the cowl vents with those plastic inserts to top the leaks into the interior," he says. "I built the car as fast as I could, because I was using my father's garage and tools. With my car in pieces, his cars had to sit outside—something he was understandably not thrilled about."
For more than 15 years, Adams enjoyed the car as it was, while yearning for upgrades that would give it a more contemporary driving experience. After taking another college degree in 2008, his graduation present—with the blessing of his wife Pandora—would be another restoration, but with a Pro Touring twist that would infuse those more modern elements.
"For the second time around, I had more money, more skills, and my own garage and tools," he says. "I completely went through the car again and there is little that remains from the 1992 re-do."
There was also an unfortunate twist in his plan, after he farmed out the bodywork and paint to a local shop. Upon agreeing to a price, the shop media-blasted the car and called Adams to say the cost would be doubled because of the corrosion issues they found after stripping the body.
"I just didn't have the kind of money they wanted, so I paid them for the media blasting and took the body shell home," says Adams. "The experience actually reinforced in me the importance of trying to do things yourself, so I picked up where the body shop left off, and started cutting out all of the rusted and rotted metal."
Not being a proficient welder, Adams practiced on scrap metal so that he wouldn't warp the new sheet metal for his cancerous ponycar. He also saved the more visible components for later, working first on the floorpans, battery tray apron, and cowl to perfect his technique. After that, it was the quarter-panels and more. The body is essentially stock, apart from the Shelby-style hood and lower front valance. That's just fine, because it's difficult to improve on the sensuous styling of the factory Fastback. When it came to laying down the red paint, Adams turned again to his father.
"I think I got to be a pretty good welder and really enjoyed it," he says. "I still get excited when I lay down a good bead."
While the car's exterior was left more or less as Ford originally intended, Adams got more creative under the hood, filling holes, smoothing the firewall, and hiding wiring. All of the regulators, relays, solenoids, and more are tucked away in the passenger-side fenderwell. He also moved the battery to the trunk, and sprayed the engine compartment flat black and the engine body color. And in a clear demonstration of his newfound enthusiasm—and perhaps even a little cockiness—for welding, Adams fastened a custom one-piece export brace by welding together a couple of aftermarket braces.
After he finally put down his welding gun, Adams turned to the car's driveability features, swapping the vague factory steering system for a modern rack-and-pinion setup. He didn't go as far as replacing the front suspension with one of the strut kits that are becoming so popular with Mustang Pro Touring builders, but he still upgraded it to provide a firmer and more direct feel that complements the more responsive steering system.
"The car drives and steers so much better than it ever did before—it's much more fun," says Adams. "Frankly, it was one of the things about the car I didn't like after the last restoration. Even with the factory power steering system rebuilt, the car just felt very sloppy."
Driveability was also bolstered in the car by replacing the old Top Loader with a more-modern World Class T-5 five-speed, which not only offers the benefit of overdrive for easier highway cruising, but the hydraulically actuated diaphragm-type clutch used with it is much easier to live with daily. It backs an approximately 425-horsepower Windsor that started life as a 302 and was stroked to 327 cubic inches.
During the body's restoration, Adams incorporated sound-deadening and thermal-barrier materials, which made a noticeable improvement on the car's overall refinement.
"It is much quieter and cooler on the road," he says. "It's amazing what a few modern upgrades can do to drastically improve the driving experience of a classic car."
Photo GalleryView Photo Gallery
Modern amenities abound in the interior, too, from the upgraded air conditioning system to a modern sound system—which may or may not blast rocker Bryan Adams' music from time to time. Aluminum trim throughout also gives it a more contemporary look and feel, but not at the expensive of the cabin's classic aesthetic.
Adams is quick to acknowledge his family for putting up with the missed sports events and other sacrifices while he toiled in the garage, but now that the car is finished and on the road, everyone enjoys the driving fun and attention the car attracts.
"This is the car I always wanted," he says. "It took a while, but I wouldn't trade the experience for anything."
That's it. The story of a man, his vision and his determination—told "straight from the heart."

Get Another BTS Look at Britney Spears' Fantasy Twist Commercial
We are so excted for the launch of Britney Spears' new perfume Fantasy Twist! If the commercial for her newest fragrance wasn't enough, there is more behind-the-scenes footage that is making its rounds on the web.
We die for anything our Queen is involved in.
In the first few seconds of the behind the scenes clip, we see Spears in the makeup chair, getting beautified by makeup artist Billy B and goofing around like her Britney self. It's pretty safe to say that the goofy side is what fans love most about her because it's real.
She's then transformed into the golden goddess, if you will, and is working on minor choreography before taking on the darker side of the campaign. Fitted in a black bob wig, Spears is having fun in the chair, making faces and enjoying her new alter ego as darker makeup is applied. Then standing in front of the camera, she makes an attempt at speaking a non-English language, but it's a pretty safe bet that our girl is just making it up as she goes.
Up next is her Jean Harlow-inspired lok. Short blond wavy hair and a smokey eye accompany this look before she once again changes into a more Britney-esque look, complete with her signature long hair, softer makeup and that famous Britney smile.
We just adore her -- I mean, look at these screenshots!

June 21, 2006
LOS ANGELES - In its second quarterly report of 2006, the UCLA Anderson Forecast anticipates a slowdown in real estate across the United States and in California. But absent other factors that historically precede recessionary conditions nationally and in the state, no recession is foreseen.
The National Forecast
In the latest report, released to the public today, UCLA Anderson Forecast Director Edward Leamer frames his forecast in an essential question: "(Will) housing difficulties be amplified by problems elsewhere in the economy, producing a nasty recession, or will the pathology be mostly contained in the real estate sector (including construction, real estate brokers and mortgage brokers)?"
He concludes that the problems will likely be confined to the real estate sector and will not produce a national recession.
Leamer, who does not expect real estate prices to fall significantly, notes that sales volume is what typically drops, and drops more precipitously than prices, as the price cycle lags behind the volume cycle. The number of homes sold will drop as owners decline to sell in a weak housing market. Prices, however, should hold. The real decline in the housing market, Leamer says, will come in "residential investment," which includes construction of new homes, repair and remodeling, and brokerage commissions on the sale of new and existing homes.
But according to Leamer, the decline in residential investment and the associated decline in construction employment will not be matched by a decline in manufacturing employment, as the latter has not yet recovered from the recession of 2001. Unless there is a decline in manufacturing employment, the national economy will avoid recession in what Leamer calls "a close call."
The California Forecast
The California Forecast, by economist Ryan Ratcliff, takes note of the state's slowing real estate markets. Ratcliff concludes that the real estate slowdown will lead to a flat housing market and a slower economy.
"We do not predict a recession, nor do we predict a substantial decline in average nominal home prices," Ratcliff says. "This forecast it based on two arguments. There is not enough vulnerability in the usual sources of employment loss to create a recession, and the historical record suggests that average home prices do not usually fall without this kind of job loss."
As in the national forecast, Ratcliff is acknowledging declines in real estate and associated job losses in real estate-sensitive sectors. But absent job losses in manufacturing or other sectors, there will be no recession, he says.
Ratcliff does note the possibility of some downside risk to the forecast, however, due to the potential impact of exotic real estate financing and uncertainties about the effects of home prices on consumption.
About the UCLA Anderson Forecast
The UCLA Anderson Forecast is one of the most widely watched and often-cited economic outlooks for California and the nation, and was unique in predicting both the seriousness of the early-1990s downturn in California, and the strength of the state's rebound since 1993. Most recently, the forecast is credited as the first major U.S. economic forecasting group to declare the recession of 2001.

Sure do appreciate your advice you guys- the idle kick up made a great difference and as far as bringing it in- great advise re warranty, factory blunders and checking specs- all adds up to good sense having the dealer do the first 600 mile service on it Thank you Fella's! Hey Hot Rod and Howie, I sure didn't mean to stir a fuss but I really appreciate both of your expertise!
Well......Whatever- it doesn't stall anymore so there ya go. Have a nice day
Good response!
You'll learn to filter out about 99.9% of what Howie has to say.
But that other 0.1% can be worth wading through the rest to find.

Steven Moffat Says No to Returning Classic Villain the Rani
Moffat continued to say "They all know who the Master is, they know Daleks, they probably know who Davros is, but they don't know who the Rani is, so there's no point in bringing her back. If there's a line it's probably somewhere there."
He followed up with the fact that bringing back old villains can be effective for Doctor Who, but said he doesn't want to overly rely on the past.
"Even people who don't know the past very well get thrilled by the idea that you've brought something back," he explained. "Everyone got very excited - and by everyone I mean real people - when the Master came back, even though most people could barely remember him."
Moffat concluded saying "It has to be self-explanatory, it has to be free-standing, it has to be clear for everybody. If I did the Meddling Monk teaming up with Mavic Chen's daughter and the Krotons then yeah, that's too much, because no one gives a toss." (By the way I think this would be amazing!)
I just hope they will bring back the Ice Warriors.

I don't think its fair to make the assumption, i am a new Who fan i will admit. never bothered with the classic series much but I have watched a few episodes of classic doctors which were brilliant. When season 3 came along, i had no idea who the master was (this was before I watched the paul mcgann tv movie) but i still found it entertaining. and things like who people are etc, can be explained by the doctor or even the character them selves. as was with the master..
- 25 August 2012 at 11:16
Well I've see all of the old show and there's nothing wrong with bringing an old character back maybe once in a while but the Moff should stick to new characters and stories.
- 25 August 2012 at 11:45
I don't understand his reasoning. When the Master returned, he states that "most people could barely remember him." Why can't this be the case with the Rani?

Don't think anyone who only watches the new series knew who the Silurians, the Master, the Macra or the Sontarans were. Not really sure why its a problem for the Rani. That said, I don't care about the Rani, I just want Zygons.

So Mr. Moffat can't re-introduce the Rani!? How hard can it be to share the character's background with new audiences? Old fans will delight at seeing the Rani again, and new fans will be introduced to an interesting villain from the Doctor's past. But, no, that'd be silly...we need so many more Weeping Angel and River Song episodes instead. *eye-roll*

He's baiting people who actually care about Doctor Who - i.e. "fans" - whilst promoting his own diluted, bland, Doctor Who-for-people-who-read-Heat-Magazine bollocks. Yawn.
- 26 August 2012 at 04:52
Of course you could reintroduce such a character - if it was felt to be a good idea to begin with.
Instead of bashing Moff for underestimating the viewer - why not read between the lines?.
Perhaps Moff is diplomatically suggesting there was no general audience left watching by 1985 - and the stories were poor..

I find it rich that he argues his own point about the Rani by mentioning the Master. What a dweeb.

As someone who has family and friends living in all corners of the U.S. -- Chicago, Seattle, Fort Lauderdale, Boston, and L.A. -- I travel a lot. Most of the time, I'm jetting from New Jersey down to South Florida, which I'll admit is a respectable vacation destination. That's why my fiance and I chose Miami Beach as our wedding locale. We wanted our wedding to double as a vacation for our guests. But for me, going down to Florida is NOT a vacation.
And yet, my fiance and I always have the same exact conversation that goes something like this ... Me: "Babe, I wanna go on a real vacation." Him: "You just got back from Florida." Look, I love my parents, but hanging out with them? NOT a vacation. In fact, although I'm grateful for all the traveling I've had the opportunity to do (including a study abroad in Europe, visit to friends in San Fran, biz trip to Vancouver, summer trip to the Hamptons), I've never been on the fabled Perfect Ultimate Vacation I have in my head.
It's the one I've been trying to describe to my fiance every time he makes the assumption that my trips down to Retirement Town U.S.A. are vacations. It's an amazing, romantic trip that involves the following:
A never-before-visited locale far away from home -- as in, you have to fly to get there (though that's not a requirement, but it is a getaway after all). Temperatures in the high-70s, mid-80s, gorgeous beach(es), copious amounts of sunshine. Lush scenery, an interesting culture to explore, a dash of nightlife/entertainment, and some history, too. Little village(s) where we could go shopping. Being able to wear a sundress and flip-flops just about everywhere. Getting to go on adventures like seeing waterfalls and mountains (maybe volcanoes?) and dolphins and/or whales, snorkeling, learning to surf. Being served frozen cocktails poolside or beachside and delicious local food we couldn't get anywhere else back home. And being able to enjoy all of the above for at least a good solid relaxing five to seven days. That's all. That's all I'm asking for!
In many ways, my Perfect Ultimate Vacation really is your stereotypical tropical getaway. But who cares? It's a stereotype, because it's that awesome. And regardless, I've/we've never actually been on that vacay. (I confess: There was an attempt in Cancun back when my fiance and I first met, but we suffered through the entire weekend with severe bronchitis, so that doesn't count.) But, recently, I realized ... All right, so what if we haven't gotten the opportunity to go on this magical vacation yet? Because hey, that's what a honeymoon is for! A-ha!
The thing about the Perfect Ultimate Vacation is that it doesn't have to be your honeymoon. It could be any trip you take that fulfills a dream you've always had. But at least in our case -- and maybe this is just a silly romantic notion, but as a bride-to-be, I'm entitled to those on occasion, yes? -- perhaps we've never been on that Perfect Ultimate Vacation, because it was always meant to be our honeymoon. Our Hawaiian honeymoon (fingers crossed!). And if we're lucky enough to be able to do that next year, I promise my fiance I'll never complain about never getting to go on a "real vacation" ever again. (Or at least until I dream up another Perfect Ultimate Vacation we've never been on ...)
What's your Perfect Ultimate Vacation?

I will be setting up my Quarintine Tanks (I plan on using the Tank Transfer Method) here in a few weeks and have a question about where to set them up at.
Location 1 is in the storage area in my basement where I mix my saltwater. Its quite with very little traffic and I can control the day/night light cycle easily. But I'm almost never in there for more than a few minutes so observations would be harder.
Location 2 is in my office. I'm on there for most of the evenings after work and my wife spends a lot of time in there during the day. The kids also come in and out. Its good for observing, but the day/night cycle would be a lot more chaotic.
Which location would be best?

Makes 11 Saves For Bulldogs
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – It may not have been evident in the final score, but the Yale men's soccer team showed earlier this season it could compete against the nation's best teams in games against nationally ranked opponents UConn and Cornell. Saturday against No. 11 Brown, the proof was there for all to see. Bobby Thalman made 11 saves as the Bulldogs earned a hard-fought 1-1 draw with the Bears on a chilly night at Stevenson Field.
"It was a fantastic game with lots of action," said Yale head coach Brian Tompkins. "I thought our guys played with a lot of courage and conviction. To go on the road against a nationally ranked opponent and get a tie is a pretty good result."
Early on, it looked like Yale might be in trouble. Ben Maury's goal just 2 minutes, 33 seconds in gave the Bears a 1-0 lead.
Yale, though, got the equalizer before the intermission. Scott Armbrust fired a shot that deflected off the post. The rebound came to Peter Jacobson and he fired it home.
Thalman and a tough Bulldog defense helped keep the score tied. Thalman made eight of his saves in the second half and his defense blocked a number of shots.
"In the second half we withstood a lot of pressure," Tompkins said. "Bobby was splendid and showed again why he is an excellent goalkeeper and team leader. Our defense blocked a lot of shots. The guys were brave."
Brown (12-1-3, 4-0-2 Ivy) nearly won it midway through the second overtime, but Jose Salama's shot hit the post.
The Bears finished with 36 shots in the game but only 12 were on goal.
The Bulldogs (4-7-5, 1-2-3) are unbeaten in their last three games.
Yale closes out the season next Saturday at home against Princeton at 3 p.m.

NAIROBI, Kenya — Gunfire hit a U.S. military aircraft trying to evacuate American citizens in a remote region of South Sudan that on Saturday became a battle ground between the country's military and renegade troops, officials said. Four U.S. service members were wounded in the attack in the same region that gunfire downed a U.N. helicopter the day before.
The U.S. military aircraft was about to land in Bor, the capital of the state of Jonglei and scene of some of the nation's worst violence over the last week, when it was hit. One American service member was reported to be in critical condition.
The U.S. military's Africa Command said the aircraft was "participating in a mission to evacuate American citizens in Bor." A South Sudan official said violence against civilians there has resulted in bodies "sprinkled all over town."
"After receiving fire from the ground while approaching the site, the aircraft diverted to an airfield outside the country and aborted the mission," the statement said. "The injured troops are being treated for their wounds." It was not known how many U.S. civilians are in Bor.
Two officials told The Associated Press that after the aircraft took incoming fire, they turned around and flew to Kampala, Uganda. From there the service members were flown to Nairobi, Kenya for medical treatment. The two officials are in East Africa and demanded anonymity to share information not made public.
The military statement did not identify the aircraft taking part in the mission. One official told AP it appeared the aircraft were Ospreys, the type of aircraft that can fly like a helicopter and a plane. A second official said the Americans did not tell the top commander in Bor — Gen. Peter Gadet, who defected from the South Sudan military this week — that they were coming in, which may have led to the attack.
South Sudan's military spokesman, Col. Philip Aguer, said that government troops are not in control of Bor, so the attack on the U.S. aircraft has to be blamed on renegade soldiers.
"Bor is under the control of the forces of Riek Machar," Aguer said.
The U.S. aircraft was hit one day after small arms fire downed a U.N. helicopter in the same state.
Rob McKee, operations manager for Warrior Security, a South Sudan security company, said the U.N. helicopter made an emergency landing while trying to evacuate personnel from a base in Yuai, Jonglei state. A second official who insisted on anonymity because the information hasn't been released said the helicopter was abandoned and remains unable to fly. No injuries were reported.
The U.N. planned to try to evacuate the personnel left behind by ground. A U.N. spokesman didn't answer a phone call or email seeking comment.
South Sudan's information minister, Michael Makuei Lueth, said that South Sudanese ground troops, backed by the country's air force, are fighting rebels in Bor, an effort to retake the state capital they lost earlier this week.
"There is fighting going on in Bor town, yes, because since morning they have continued to attack the civilian population," he said, talking about renegade troops. "They have gone as far as not respecting the U.N. compound."
He said fighting started early Saturday after reports came in that rebels there were shooting indiscriminately at civilians.
"The bodies are sprinkled all over the town," he said. No death toll could be estimated, he said.
South Sudan President Kiir, an ethnic Dinka, said this week that an attempted coup triggered the violence now pulsing through South Sudan. He blamed the former vice president, Machar, an ethnic Nuer. But officials have since said a fight between Dinka and Nuer members of the presidential guard triggered the initial violence late Sunday night. Machar's ouster from the country's No. 2 political position earlier this year had stoked ethnic tensions.
The violence has killed hundreds and has world leaders worried that a full-blown civil war could ignite in South Sudan. The south fought a decades-long war with Sudan before a 2005 peace deal resulted in a 2011 referendum that saw South Sudan break away from the north, taking most of the region's oil wealth with it.
Lueth described Machar as "the rebel leader," saying the forces that control Bor believe they are fighting on his behalf. Machar's whereabouts remain unknown, but he has said in recent interviews that he is in hiding somewhere in South Sudan.
An International Crisis Group expert on South Sudan told The Associated Press on Friday that rebels have taken control of at least some of South Sudan's oil fields, an issue that could bring Sudan into the conflict. South Sudan's oil flows north through Sudan's pipelines, providing Khartoum with much needed income.
The U.N. Security Council on Friday said the weeklong violence could affect neighboring countries and the entire region.
Kenya announced it was sending in Kenyan troops to evacuate 1,600 Kenyans stranded in South Sudan, many of them in Bor.
U.S. President Barack Obama earlier this week dispatched U.S. troops to help protect the U.S. Embassy in the capital, Juba. The U.S. Embassy organized at least five emergency evacuation flights to help U.S. citizens leave the country. Other countries like Britain, Germany and Italy also helped citizens evacuate.
Mediators from East Africa continued to try to help negotiate a peace. Ethiopia's Foreign Ministry said Saturday that they have held "productive" talks with Kiir and that consultations were continuing. Kiir has agreed to "unconditional dialogue" to try to stop the violence.

The Cooling
We had a minor intrusion of cooler air at low levels last night into the interior, but this thin veneer is rapidly getting mixing out...so temperatures will surge now back into the 90s...sorry. The coast is much cooler (60s). There should be a modest onshore push of marine air tonight...watch the difference in pressure between Hoquiam and Seattle...when it gets above 3-3.5 mb you know it is coming. The thermal trough should jump into eastern Washington with the push and temps tomorrow should only get into the mid to upper 80s. Hard to believe that 80s seem cool.

I told a friend yesterday evening that "Oh, it's so gloriously cool outside now!" and he laughed at me - it was 88F!! I was astonished I felt so good (well, plus the sun was down - the evil evil sun). Guess it really is all relative.

Since it is so hot now, when the cool ocean air comes in, could we see a quick burst of sudden high winds like in early June? That was kind of fun... and would be wholly welcome in my sustained 88 degree 2nd floor sandwiched apartment!

Seems like SeaTac may not even hit 90 today. Only 86 at 1:50pm.
It seems so much cooler today.

Spoke too soon. Less than an hour later and SeaTac hits 90. So the streak of 90+ days is intact.

i'm wondering too about the predicted high and what it is now, during what ostensibly should be (?) the hottest part of the day (3pm): kuow said it's 84 now with high of 98 expected. tell me that it's too late for that to happen...??

Olga said "i'm wondering too about the predicted high and what it is now, during what ostensibly should be (?) the hottest part of the day (3pm)"
This time of year the hottest part of the day is rather later.
Take a look at the MOS predictions at the NWS and you can see the hour by hour predictions (though remember they're not always on the money).
e.g. for a Seattle location the peak today is at 5pm
- July 30, 2009 at 3:35 PM
- Nicholas said...
Kevin, or one could look at Seattle's NWS climate information at http://www.weather.gov/climate/
index.php?wfo=sew and look at the times of high temperatures on past days to get an idea of when they usually occur. The last four days, for example, the high temperature of the day occurred at 5:35pm (Wednesday), 4:49pm (Tuesday), 5:03pm (Monday), and 4:48pm (Sunday). Of course, this lists the latest (I believe) time of occurrence if it reached the high more than once or stayed there for awhile.

94 in the shade near Bitterlake in Seattle. It is ten degrees cooler than this time yesterday, although 94 is still really, really hot. But that said, the heat today heat does not seem as oppressive as yesterday.

At my house outside Bellingham it's 94 degrees. Meanwhile at Friday Harbor on San Juan Isl. it's an indicated 69 degrees.
That's a 25 degree gradiant spread over about 25 miles.
Maybe the long awaited push is on it's way?

I'm wondering how long this drought is going to last. The U.S. Drought Monitor suggests that we will have above normal temps through August and below normal precipitation through October. This confirms my gut feeling of what to expect, but I don't know how far ahead these things can be projected very accurately.

- Lyn in Lynnwood said...
94 in Lynnwood now, too. So, what are our chances of beating the old record for over-90-degree-days-in-a-row? I just checked at http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/getobext.php?wfo=&sid=KSEA&num=168&raw=0&dbn=m&banner=off and Seatac is up to at least 3 days, depending how y'all measure time...
- July 30, 2009 at 4:29 PM
- Lindsey said...
Given that the updated forecast calls for temps in the mid-80s at the max, I think there's little chance that even Seatac will reach 90 on Friday.
I'm not clear on how often probcast is updated. At present, it predicts 89 tomorrow for (my) zip code 98043, while the NWS has just 81. I'm guessing probcast's forecasted temp will go down when it's updated, but I'm real curious as to just how much it will differ from the 81.

kevin and nicholas: thanks for the explanation and pointers to the NWS. i must've misheard NPR as 84 when they more likely said 94 (wishful thinking...). that would've been quite an increase for 2 hours.

I`ve been noticing that upper level low as well and models are`nt quite sure where to swing it and when it will move inland, if it does at all. That is what I`m seeing.
So.....no t-storms over the WA Cascades, but I see there are storms firng over the mountains in BC and over the Oregon Cascades. Cliff or anyone....how come no t-storms over the WA Cascades today like there was the past couple days?? Guess the airmass must not be to unstable over the higher terrain.

- Nicholas said...
I know 90 is a round number, but something you probably haven't heard - the record for consecutive 89+ degree days in Seattle is 5 days, the same as the record for consecutive 90+ degree days. With Sunday's high of 89, today is the fifth straight day of 89+ in Seattle, tying that record. I know 89 isn't a nice round number, but if you think about it, 89 is just as arbitrary a number...

It's here, I think! Temp dropped 5 degrees in the last 40 minutes. Wind has picked up. Temp dropping rapidly. Fabulous!
- July 30, 2009 at 6:47 PM
- Kevin Purcell said...
Not an official temperature but the weather station at Volunteer Park actually had it's maximum a little after 3pm (about 3:20pm). And has dropped by more than 10 degrees off the maximum now (at 7pm).
THe mostly northerly win speed picked up this afternoon and I think that Sound Breeze is helping.
So that's a little earlier than I expected!.
My apartment is cooling off rather more quickly than I expected too (it's still more than 91F!).

As recently as yesterday, NWS was predicting sunny and 70-ish for Ocean Shores for today. Instead, there was a high marine fog layer all day, never lifted, and I doubt it got up to 65 -- it was quite disappointing.

Clearly, the Liberals think they've hit on a winner, with the debate angle. Keeping up the pressure, Dion will write a letter to Harper, which will be available to all media outlets. Perfect:
Dion challenges PM to 'green' debate
OTTAWA — Stéphane Dion took on a rare aggressor's role Sunday with Stephen Harper, daring the Prime Minister to debate him over the Liberals new green plan.
The Liberal Leader made the challenge on CTV's Question Period Sunday, where he also characterized Mr. Harper as vulgar for suggesting the Liberal plan would "screw" taxpayers. "I would be very pleased to debate it at any time," Mr. Dion said. "And let me tell you one thing ... I will always debate in a respectful way, in a meaningful way, because it's what Canadians deserve."
Sources said that Mr. Dion intends to make his request official with a letter to the Prime Minister. It's the first effort of an aggressive sales pitch which began after the announcement last week.
Harper's people better develop a better talking point- is there a Canadian alive that still believes our question period is a place for serious debate?:
"If Mr. Dion wanted to have a debate with the Prime Minister he should have, for starters, shown up for Question Period during the last week that the House of Commons was sitting," Sandra Buckler said.
So far so good.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Michigan has been awarded a federal grant aimed at reducing hunger among low-income children next summer when they don't get breakfast or lunch at school.
The state expects to receive more than $800,000 to continue a project that provides food aid with a debit-style card. Michigan hopes to provide 10,600 students with a $60 monthly stipend.
The grant also will cover another 28,000 randomly selected low-income students with $60 or $30 per month for food in various school districts, including Detroit.
The money comes from the U.S. Agriculture Department.

Here's a new twist on the tired "ten best places to retire" formula: "The 10 Best Places to Live on $100 a Day," courtesy of AARP The Magazine.
"Because of the economy, everyone is very much concerned about how much they can buy with their money," says Gabrielle Redford, editorial projects manager for AARP The Magazine.
Ms. Redford says the project started by assuming retirees would spend no more than $100 per day, or $36,500 a year. From that sum, they deducted 25% in income taxes, leaving after-tax spending of $27,375. The editors assumed one-third of that sum, or $9033, would go towards housing–or, more specifically, a mortgage and property taxes.
The goal: To identify 10 locations where, for $9033 a month, you can buy a median-priced home and cover property taxes. "We also were looking for a good climate, the presence of colleges and universities, which tend to add cultural amenities, and good medical services," says Ms. Redford. Other items on the magazine's wish list: a nearby airport, hiking and biking trails, and some mass transit.
"We also considered the local economy. We didn't want to say this is a great place to live if there was a high foreclosure rate because then you have other problems in the community," added Ms. Redford, who sought a geographically diverse group.
What made the cut?
- Spokane, Washington
- Las Cruces, New Mexico
- Eau Claire, Wisconsin
- Roanoke, Virginia
- Morgantown, West Virginia
- Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
- San Antonio, Texas
- Omaha, Nebraska
- Grand Junction, Colorado
- Gainesville, Florida
Ms. Redford says some states exempt Social Security and/or pensions from income taxation. For example, Virginia does not tax Social Security. Wisconsin, Washington, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Florida do not tax pensions.
"If you happen to be looking to move in retirement, that's one thing you should definitely look into," she says. "It can make a huge difference."

While Fire first teamers Sean Johnson, Marco Pappa and Orr Barouch all take to the field for their national sides Wednesday, another player in the club will be part of an international friendly as well.
Meet Reid Strain. A member of the 2012 Chicago Fire U18 Youth Academy side that went 26-1-1 en route to the 2012 U.S. Club Soccer National Championship, the Barrington, Ill. product has joined the Puerto Rican national team for Wednesday's friendly against Spain in Bayamon.
Eligible for Puerto Rico through his mother, Strain missed the U18 Youth Academy's run at last month's U.S. Club Soccer National championships after being called up for the territory's U-20 CONCACAF World Championship qualifying matches.
"He was very reluctant to play for the U-20 Puerto Rican national team when he got the call up last month," said Chicago Fire U18 Youth Academy head coach Paul Cadwell. "He didn't want to miss the national championships with his Fire team so it took some talking to him from his parents and from myself to encourage him to not miss such an opportunity."
In those games, the forward tallied two goals, both game winners, in 2-0 victories over Barbados and Bermuda. A 0-0 draw in the group finale vs. Haiti pushed Puerto Rico to a second-place finish on goal difference but advanced the side to the final round of CONCACAF's Caribbean U-20 Finals – the first time a Puerto Rican team has made it out of its qualifying group in and youth tournament.
The finals will be played November 3-11 in Jamaica and with his role in the previous matches as well as being the only uncapped player called up for Wednesday's friendly vs. Spain, it's a good bet Strain will play a part.
Why haven't we heard more of Strain until now?
"Unfortunately, Reid has been plagued by an ankle injury the last 18 months," said U18 Youth Academy Head Coach Paul Cadwell. It's one of the reasons he didn't make our Fall [U.S. Soccer Development] Academy team. We didn't get the ability to get a good look at him but he's a great youth player for us this season. He has shown the ability to score a variety of goals."
I'm very proud of Reid at having the opportunity to play against the world's number one team is a dream. Whether he sees the field or not, just the fact that he is going be listed in a squad that plays the current world and European champions is something that he will never forget."

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Yale men's swimming and diving team is back in action for the first time since the Thanksgiving break Saturday at the University of Massachusetts. The Bulldogs are coming off a fourth-place finish at Boston University's Terrier Invitational – a meet in which they finished just behind the third-place Minutemen.
The distance team was the story of the Terrier Invite for Yale, led by senior Matt Lee who took first overall in the 1650-yard freestyle, fourth in the 500-yard freestyle, and fifth in the 400 IM. Bolstering the senior's performance were the contributions of two freshmen: Mike Bogese and West Cuthbert. Bogese took third in the 1650 free and sixth, just behind Lee, in the 400 IM. Cuthbert also had a big meet, finishing sixth in the 500 free and turning in a solid performance as part of Yale's second-place 800-yard freestyle relay team.
Captain Kyle Veatch also had a strong showing, taking second overall in the 100-yard butterfly and third in the 200-yard freestyle. His fifth-place finish in the 50-free was tops for any Bulldogs in that race.
UMass has also been out of action since the Terrier Invite, meaning they are fresh off a day which saw them take six top-five finishes. Max Butler was among the Minutemen's top performers, taking second in the 100-yard backstroke, just ahead of teammate Trevor Ziegler. Most relevant to their matchup against Yale, however, is that the only team to best the Bulldogs in the 800-relay was UMass, who took first in that event.
The Bulldogs and Minutemen square off for a one-day meet in Amherst Saturday.

1. Three Leaving Program — Arkansas coach Bret Bielema revealed last month that cornerback Ray Buchanan Jr. would be leaving the program after two seasons with the Razorbacks.
1. Three Leaving Program — Arkansas coach Bret Bielema revealed last month that cornerback Ray Buchanan Jr. would be leaving the program after two seasons with the Razorbacks.
Bielema confirmed Tuesday that Buchanan will have some company. Three others members of the 2013 team — linebacker A.J. Turner, linebacker Myke Tavarres and running back Nate Holmes — are looking into transfer options as well.
"They're guys that weren't involved in our game plans," Bielema said. "Guys that really, for how they do things and what we want to get done here, it's probably better that they move on. I'll try to help them in any way that I can."
Holmes, Turner and Buchanan Jr., were all members of Arkansas' 2012 signing class, while Arkansas signed Tavarres out of a junior college last year.
Turner started six games and recorded 53 tackles as a true freshman in 2012, but missed the 2013 season because of a wrist injury. Speculation about Turner's future at Arkansas began swirling in early November and Bielema didn't end the chatter, saying on his weekly radio the Razorbacks would have to "wait and see."
Holmes began his sophomore season in a three-player rotation at running back, but finished with just 17 yards on six carries in four games. Tavarres, meanwhile, spent most of the season with Arkansas' scout team and didn't factor into its defensive plans despite arriving on campus early to participate in spring practice last year.
2. Flowers Testing NFL Waters — Bielema said defensive end Trey Flowers is weighing his options after submitting paperwork to the NFL Draft Advisory committee earlier this month.
"We're in the waiting process now," Bielema said. "He'll get a grade back from the NFL. I've gathered information for him from the NFL as well as our academic support staff as well as a couple of agents. If he's drafted here, what kind of money is he looking at? Where could he benefit from staying? All that stuff."
Flowers led the Hogs with 13 1/2 tackles for losses and was second on the team in sacks (5) as a junior. He has 32 tackles for losses and 12 sacks in his career.
Bielema said Arkansas wants Flowers to return "if it's the right thing for him." He would be the most experienced defensive lineman back next season with outgoing seniors Chris Smith, Byran Jones and Robert Thomas preparing for the NFL.
"I think he's generally intrigued where he's at, where he stands and where he could possibly be drafted at," Bielema said about the process.
3. Offense vs. Defense — Arkansas' coaching staff is off the road recruiting until Jan. 16. So Bielema said his offensive and defensive staffs are taking on a different challenge this week.
They're game planning for each other in what is serving as a self-scouting exercise.
"Our offensive staff is breaking down our defensive plays and calls and vice versa," Bielema said. "Like they're going to play each other. We're not going to play each other this Thursday, but we're going to talk about it for a day and a half. Just about what they saw, what are things they can pick up that can help each other out.
"It's one of the more enjoyable weeks of the year just to kind of have that challenge. It allows our staff to grow a lot together."
4. Extra Points — Former Arkansas place kicker Zach Hocker has accepted an invitation to participate in the East-West Shrine Game, which will be played in St. Petersburg, Fla., on Jan. 18. Hocker went 13 of 15 on field goals and 28 of 28 on extra points in 2013. He also holds the school's career scoring mark (354 points). … Arkansas center Travis Swanson earned honorable mention All-American honors from SI.com on Tuesday. It is the fourth All-America recognition Swanson has received this month.

Eileen KINNICK
75 yrs ago
Week 6 - Feb 8-14, 1937
My mother, Eileen KINNICK (maiden name), kept a diary from 1932 until her death in 1999. In Feb 2005, I created a website of her 1936 diary, the year she graduated from high school. During the latter half of 2011, commented weekly on these entries.
For 1937, I am transcribing the daily entries, currently, at The KINNICK Project surname blog.
In this weekly blog post, I will make summary comments and observations, and perhaps add a photo, from time to time.
Setting: The family lived in a farmhouse a couple of miles out of town (Coon Rapids, Iowa). Older brother, Leo, lived at home; his girl friend, later wife, Ida, visited regularly. Younger brother, Buzzy (she often wrote Bussy) was 9 years old. Pete Smith is her 'boy friend' - fourth month starting Jan 1 (they do marry, in Mar 1938).
Week 6 (Feb 8-14): Pete still missing on the 8th, but showed up at the store on the 9th. Later, they "Talked things over & came to an understanding. Grand time. So good to be together again."
On Friday, the 12th, we see she mentions the "5 Yr" diary entries. Going to the ball game is a big deal - and they stay out nearly all night. Next day, Saturday, she needs a nap!
Had to wonder if Earl and Edna had chosen Valentine's Day for their wedding, but it is never mentioned in Eileen's diary entry.

Also, I enjoyed researching Wayne Cooley, again! ;-)

October 9, 2007
Wabash men across the nation came out in record numbers for the third-annual Wabash Day in early October. The men showed their local communities through service work how Wabash educates men to live humanely.
The total volunteers count so far is 331, which represents a 30 percent increase over last year. The number of alumni increased 17 percent. Last year, 183 alumni participated among 253 total volunteers.
"This is a fantastic result for a new undertaking that calls upon grassroots alumni leadership. But it is only the beginning," said Jon Pactor '71, chair of the NAWM's Wabash Day Committee. "The NAWM will be looking to be event bigger next year."
Wabash Day is short for Wabash Alumni Benefiting And Serving Humanity. It is the national day of community service organized by Wabash alumni and carried out by alumni, families, friends, and students.
"I think its wise to promote our own community and help do some service here," said Jim Peters '71, who worked on a Habitat home project in Shelbyville, In. "We all live in Shelby County and the camaraderie of Wabash grads is nice. We don't get together all that often but this gives us a chance."
And that's part of the goal, said Director of Alumni affairs Tom Runge. "Wabash Day is all about making a difference. It's a day of responding to communities' needs on a small, personal level.
"It's also a great time to get young and old alumni alike, together with Wabash parents, families, and friends. Nothing makes you feel as good as doing something good for someone else."
Alumni spanning 52 years participated in various projects. Dick Barger '55 worked in South Bend, and members of the 2007 class turned up at sites across the country. Several Wabash students also participated.
"Wabash Day is about alumni connecting by taking three hours a year out of busy lives of career, and family to bond with fellow Wallies," said Davis Hull '04. "Some of us exchanged numbers and will see each other soon, some of them I am sure I will not see until the next Wabash Day. Can't wait till next year!"
And it just wasn't about the old and new friendships, the Wabash men helped make a difference. Nine Knoxville, Tn. area Wabash men helped at a Habitat project that was being build by women volunteers.
"But the women in charge agreed to let us do our Wabash thing and enter their turf for a day," said Jerry Blossom '66. "Our guys did a great job, even finding and correcting a couple of previous construction mistakes."
Click the links at the upper right to see reports and photos from projects across the nation. And check back, we're still updating the list with several more reporting in we don't have posted just yet. Click here for a PDF file listing all Wabash men participating in Wabash Day 2007.
The other members of the NAWM Wabash Day Committee are Greg Birk '77, Greg Estell '85, Thom Liffick '73, Terry Hamilton '89, John Panozzo '89, and Mark Shreve '04.
In photos: Top left, Wabash men in Shelbyville, In., worked at a local Habitat for Humanity project. At lower right, Wabash grads in Houston, Tx., worked in a park.
On homepage: Dallas alums: Chris Bird '65, Rodney (CDM). Tim Sheets '80, Don (CDM), Jim McDaniel '74, Dan Susie '68, Agapito (CDM), Ray LaDriere '78, Mike Gregory '70, Jason Ellis '04, Troy Scott '64, Anthony Perez '98
On Alumni Homepage: 18 alums turned out in Evansville to work on "Holly's House," a non-profit organization providing single a location for the Domestic violence and Child Abuse Departments of the Evansville Police Department. The house is used for interviews instead of the police station interview room.

Poll Results
Have you or your child ever had a microalbumin test?
Yes, and the results indicated kidney problems
Yes, and the results indicated no kidney problems
I haven't had this test
I don't know what a microalbumin test is
Have you or your child ever had a microalbumin test?Poll dates: June 17 - 24, 2001
Total Votes: 700
It's disappointing that 52% of responders say they don't know what a microalbumin test is. Perhaps, many who answered this way didn't know the name of the test, but knew that they did have a test done to see if any kidney damage is occurring. This procedure is called a microalbumin test.
According to ADA and ISPAD guidelines, any person who has had diabetes for more than 5 years or who is past puberty should have a microalbumin test to screen for nephropathy on an annual basis. Initial screening may be in the form of a simple urine dipstick preferably performed on a first morning void. If positive, a timed 12 or 24 hour collection needs to be done for quantitative analysis.
A positive "screen" is not always indicative of kidney disease. Vaginal secretion in women, urinary tract infections and heavy exercise within 24-48 hours prior to sample collection can all yield false positives.
Screening for nephropathy is extremely important. Early detection of quantified microalbumin excretion exceed the range of normal in that lab (depending on the type of test done, the normal range will vary), along with initiation of ACE inhibitor therapy, can prevent or slow the occurrence of diabetic nephropathy.
