Biden: W.H. readies 19 executive actions on guns By: Reid J. Epstein January 14, 2013 06:49 PM EST
The White House has identified 19 executive actions for President Barack Obama to move unilaterally on gun control, Vice President Joe Biden told a group of House Democrats on Monday, the administrations first definitive statements about its response to last months mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Later this week, Obama will formally announce his proposals to reduce gun violence, which are expected to include renewal of the assault weapons ban, universal background checks and prohibition of high-capacity magazine clips. But Biden, who has been leading Obamas task force on the response, spent two hours briefing a small group of sympathetic House Democrats on the road ahead in the latest White House outreach to invested groups.
The focus on executive orders is the result of the White House and other Democrats acknowledging the political difficulty of enacting any new gun legislation, a topic Biden did not address in Mondays meeting.
It was all focusing on enforcing existing law, administering things like improving the background database, things like that that do not involve a change in the law but enforcing and making sure that the present law is administered as well as possible, said Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.).
But Biden did indicate that the remains of the Obama campaign apparatus may be activated in the effort.
He said that this has been a real focus on the policy and that the politics of this issue, that a strategy on the politics of the issue hasnt been undertaken yet, Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) told POLITICO. He did remind us that the campaign infrastructure is still accessible.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
And which republican is going to stand up to obamie?
Selective enforcing of the laws they like and not enforcing the ones they don't. FUBO
Mr Biden's last name is pronounced Ger-Bels.
I remember when our country believed in the rule of law. The more I watch what Americans permit Obama to get away with, the more I realize just how long ago that was.
Found on another thread.
Blow it out yer anus!
Set Articles of Impeachment on ripple fire.
Thank you, Obama voters, for helping to bring down the greatest country ever on the face of the earth. He WON and we all lost.
My tinfoil hat is chiming in here:
Why would he use the number nineteen?
Something to do with Gun Appreciation day on the 19th?
Would this be sending a signal, perhaps?
Don't expect Congress or the courts to defend your right to keep and bear arms. YOU will have to take a stand. YOU will have to resist.
Although he's a nobody, we must remember to also have Rimshot Joe arrested at the same time Barry is arrested for violating the Second Amendment rights of Americans.
Would any one of those 19 have prevented Sandy Hook from happening or prevent future Sandy Hook type attacks?
Or are these more punitive, aimed at gun owners?
The simple fact that the girly-man Boehner and McConnel will NOT stand up for our Constitution is as infuriating as the actions that the Marxist will undertake.
It is certain that the path the Marxists are on will compel "We the People" to take back our government and restore our Republic.
There were nineteen muslim hijackers, if you don't count Obama.
"And which republican is going to stand up to obamie?"
Let that sink in, folks. What does that mean?
IMO, this whole thing is a lost game unless we're willing to cross that line.
This will be his undoing! Just watcb the repercushens from this. Watch the way the nation reacts. He is really treading water now. After this, he'll be wishing he never started.
This will be great news if Obama and the democrats do this.
As Captian Johnny Parker stated so very long ago on that day on Lexington Green in Concord, "If it's war they want, let it begin here, let it begin now."
Farrakhan was enamored with the number 19.
He re-elected HIMSELF, America didn't. Did you really expect the Chicago thug to allow an election to proceed without tampering with it? NO.
Wow - I can't wait to forced to register with a national database so some journalist can spill my personal information all over the internet. :)
It may be time to have Citizens openly oppose this president in the streets, supporter against supporter, in order that law is returned to prominence.
May the SEALs descend upon the WH the moment 0bama signs any EO which alters Americans' 'inalienable' right to bear arms.
Thanks to all here who wanted to stop the Mormon. Thanks to those who went 3rd Party -— how did that Gary Johnson or Tom Hoefling vote work out? Look where we are now.
Civil Disobedience is about to manifest. Let them come.
"The focus on executive orders is the result of the White House and other Democrats acknowledging the political difficulty of enacting any new gun legislation, a topic Biden did not address in Mondays meeting.
It was all focusing on enforcing existing law, administering things like improving the background database, things like that that do not involve a change in the law but enforcing and making sure that the present law is administered as well as possible, said Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.)."
Oh come on King Obama go for it and make "new" law by decree.
Oh come on King Obama go for it and make
10 day waiting period for ammo? Special fee assessed on every bullet for firearms education and various enforcement?
Fee for every registered gun owner to take course or forfeit their firearms? License fee due each year for ownership?
Don't put anything past these guys.
Uh huh... and who's going to vote to convict? Harry Reid's senate?
We are headed for civil war and/or national breakup. Period. The fuse has been lit, you cannot stop it. Its time people accept it and trying to think you can "system" your way out of it.
On Feb. 15th the SCOTUS has scheduled a hearing on 0bama's elegibility . I can't wait to hear this .
We need to remember he is our President and not our king. We are not peasants and he our master. We are AMERICANS and we owe it to those proud Americans who fought and many died to maintain our freedoms. We shall not less this one pass.
Anyone who can read a history book should be able to see that the left wants us totally disarmed so they can easily bend us to their will. I for one will not submit my freedom to this administration.
If Congress doesn't stop him both the President and Congress will have finally deemed themselves to be against the constitution lock stock and barrel and in need of replacement.
Somehow, I think there'll be a good chance that it comes back to being about money.
It's a contest ~ will Obamugoober come out first as a moslem or as a queer? Bet it's neck and neck!
and ^stop trying to system your way out of it.
It is time for the Governors and the states to put a foot down. They must draw the line.
This is serious.
He did remind us that the campaign infrastructure is still accessible.
Sounds like he is unleashing the brownshirts. Ominous
Our forefathers took on the greatest Empire of its time and kicked ass.
Don`t Tread on Me!
Obummer is a Madman as crazy as Stalin, Mao and Hitler.
He thinks he is an Emperor.
The Second Amendment protects all the other amendments in the Bill of Rights.
For Obummer to speak against the Second Amendment is to hate the U.S. Consiutution and to hate America. Obummer is guilty of hate speech against America. Therefore he should be prosecuted and punished.
Thanks to all here who wanted to stop the Mormon.Wouldn't BO have won regardless? Isn't that what crooks do?
that's all right, we'll know which courts need some work done on them, then.
don't forget difi and pelosi and reid.
Yeah, we can "civil war" our way out of it and into . . .
You have a dustup a bit more serious than the Whiskey Rebellion, but much less so than the Civil War, all sorts of things can happen.
I doubt your top Democrat crew will stay at the helm if something happens ~ you'll see Cuomo and his crowd leave the country ~ sail back to Sicilia more than likely, and their two goober senators will flee right behind them although Chucky might try again to convince the Israelis that he's really Jewish so they gotta' let him in ~ lotsa luck Chucky ~ nobody believes you on that score!
You'd see the same thing all over the country with Democrat politicians fleeing for their lives.
It's also Calypso Louie Farrakhan's favorite number...
The number 19 is Calypso Louie's magic number. It's also an important number in Islam.

GraviQuest - 0.4
David (animatinator)
AboutGraviQuest is a platformer/puzzle game in which the objective in each level is, unsurprisingly, to reach the goal. However, this task is made slightly more complicated by the fact that it will often be necessary to 'rotate' gravity in order to reach said goal.
How to playTo play the game, run 'main.py'. This will start up the main menu, from which you can select from one of many now-working options (only 'Instructions' isn't implemented yet)!. Not content with just making a normal menu, I decided to make it a nifty spinny thingy - you can scroll through the options by shifting your mouse in the appropriate direction.
In keeping with tradition, you move your character left and right with the corresponding arrow keys. The up arrow is used to jump, and the 'Q' key quits to the main menu. Blocks with funky spinny patterns on them will rotate gravity - green rotates it to the right, and blue to the left (the spinny pattern also indicates its direction). The goal is marked out by a funky door graphic which I have still yet to replace with something more suitable :P
Known bugs
That's pretty much all that's still to be fixed :P
This release adds improved graphics, a better tile system, an animated character sprite, saving and loading of game progress, a pause menu with screen-capturing, a nifty credits sequence (with fireworks!), music for the aforementioned credits sequence and many, many bugfixes!

"I ordered my standard size 8, but, these seem to run a little large, so, have returned for 1/2 size smaller....they are REALLY cute!!!"

February 21, 2014
"Pretty disappointed with these. Ordered them online, and when they came, they were easily two sizes too big. I even checked to see if they had accidentally sent the wrong size - nope. Ultimately decided not to get a smaller size because what you can't see in the photos is that they bow out at the toe, making the front look like a clown shoe. Too bad because they definitely seem like they would have been comfy, and I like this brand's flip flops a lot."

|DWR biologist Kenny Briedinger holds a eight pound 31 inch northern pike that was gillnetted on April 11.
This past week, Division of Wildlife Resources aquatic biologists Justin Hart and Kenny Breidinger conducted a gillnetting survey of fish populations at Recapture Reservoir in San Juan County.
Many northern pike, measuring 18-24 inches were collected; and several pike measured as long as 31 inches and tipped the scale at 8 pounds. Netting also revealed a number of very robust 11-14 inch largemouth bass and good numbers of black bullhead, weighing in at 2 pounds.
Hart offered some advice for those wanting to cash in on the cache of fish.
For largemouth bass try a chartreuse or pumpkin-colored three to four inch curlytail grub, hooked into a quarter ounce white or pink jighead. Fish the rig slowly along the bottom.
An alternate rig might include a six-inch pumpkin-colored rubber worm, rigged weedless on a bass worm hook with a single piece of split shot about 15-inches above the worm. That rig should be fished slowly along the bottom as well.
Boaters who prefer to troll might try a medium-diving Berkley Frenzy in crawdad color or a double-jointed silver Canadian Wiggler for northern pike.
Northern pike and largemouth bass can also be caught by casting crankbaits, spinners, or large jigs along the shorelines and other underwater structure. As the water warms, topwater lures should also produce fish in mornings and evenings. Bullhead anglers should drop weighted worms or commercial catfish baits to the bottom.

Great find by Head to the Net - who got their hands on the letter Mike Gillis sent to Mike Duco advising him on the proper way to use twitter. Because Gillis is such an expert. Funny stuff. #UseitlikeGrabner
Yankee Canucks has some interesting goal charts for the Canucks first round series against Chicago, and their second round series against Nashville up at Nucksmisconduct. As usual, the Canucks had issues dealing with the Blackhawks in the slot, and that's where Chicago did most of their damage. Nashville on the other hand, did most of their damage off bank-shots from behind the net. Personally, I am not looking forward to the Stanley Cup Finals goal chart - that thing is going to be ugly.
Puck Daddy broke down the results from the Business Journal's NHL fan difficulty rankings. Their findings: the Canucks are the 12th easiest NHL team to root for. If that's true, then why does it feel so damn hard sometimes.
Our good friends over at PassittoBulis have begun their "every goal x Canucks scored last season" series with profiles of the most recently departed Canucks. Here's Tambellini, Glass, Torres, Ehrhoff and the one goal plugs.
Kristen Odland catches up with Mason Raymond at the Calgary Stampede. He says he's progressing, but he's still having issues getting in and out of his friends truck. I'm not a doctor, but I think it's safe to say that Raymond won't be healthy to begin next season.

lovely shoe but not comfortable

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Blizzards rolled into parts of Wyoming and South Dakota on Friday, bringing the snow-savvy states to an unseasonably early wintery standstill by closing highways and schools, and even forcing a tourist town to cancel its annual Octoberfest's polka-dancing bar crawl.
A foot of snow had fallen in western South Dakota's scenic Black Hills by early Friday, though residents were bracing for as much as 3 feet of the wet, heavy snow and wind gusts of up to 70 mph. The storm system spawned a tornado the night before in Nebraska and was threatening to push thunderstorms as far east as Wisconsin.
Julie Lee said she and fellow members of her White Rose Band are accustomed to snow, just "not for the fourth of October." They had barely unloaded their instruments in South Dakota's Old West casino town of Deadwood before snow started falling and closed the area's only interstate.
"Our car is like an igloo," said Lee, who sings and plays the clarinet and saxophone for her North Dakota-based polka band. "I'm glad we got everything out."
Town officials decided to postpone its annual Octoberfest, including Friday night's dancing-and-singing pub crawl and Saturday's Wiener Dog Races and Beer Barrel Games. But Lee and her accordion-playing husband, who had planned to set up in one of the casino bars, still planned to entertain stranded guests. "You can only gamble for so long," she said.
The typically bustling Pilot Travel Center near Rapid City, about 40 miles southwest, was like a ghost town Friday morning. Store general manager John Barton guessed that drivers were likely heeding forecasters' warnings to stay off the roads.
The blowing snow was picking up outside the truck stop along Interstate 90, which was closed for about 30 miles thanks to a storm that was gaining strength as it moved in from Wyoming, where the interstate was also closed. Conditions were expected to deteriorate throughout the day.
"Yesterday we were really busy," Barton said. "I think a lot of people got ahead of it."
Although early October snowfalls aren't unusual, a storm of this magnitude happens only once every decade or two on the Plains, National Weather Service meteorologist Steve Trimarchi said.
"I couldn't say when the last time we've had one like this. It's been quite a while," Trimarchi said.
In Wyoming, reports of 5 to 10 inches of snow were common with higher amounts in the mountains. Hundreds of miles highways, including parts of interstates 25 and 90, were closed.
"I've lived in Wyoming my whole life and I've never seen it like this this early," Patricia Whitman, shift manager at the Flying J truck stop in Gillette, said in a telephone interview Friday morning. "Usually the first snow is like Halloween."
Whitman said her truck stop's parking was full with travelers waiting out the storm.
"I know several of the businesses nearby are completely closed because they can't even get workers into work — it's pretty nasty," she said.
The snow also snapped tree limbs that knocked out power lines, causing thousands of people to lose power.
Forecasters urged people trying to travel to carry survival kits and to stay in their vehicles if they get stranded.
"These are just really dangerous conditions," Steve Rubin, of the National Weather Service, said Friday.
Large hail and powerful winds were forecast to hit northwest Oklahoma later Friday, while heavy rain settled in parts of Iowa and was expected to swoop northeast across the region into Wisconsin, where warnings were issued for dense fog.
In Nebraska, a tornado that touched down Thursday night damaged homes and businesses in several communities, knocked out power and toppled trees. But no injuries have been reported.
Motorists were being advised to stay off the roads in western South Dakota, where the I-90 were closed between Sturgis and the Wyoming border. Officials said the road will remain closed until storm conditions improve and crews are able to clear the highway.
The Department of Transportation also advised no travel on some other roadways in the region.
Associated Press writers Chet Brokaw in Pierre, S.D., Steve Paulson in Denver and Bob Moen in Cheyenne, Wyo., contributed to this report.

Pros: Bass, Comfort, Looks, Bass
Cons: Price,
Let me start off by saying that I purchased my TH-900s from an authorized dealer for $1,300 brand new (which I still feel is a bit above their true value) about one month ago. I have owned (and sold) several pairs of D7000s already, so after reading many reviews claiming the TH900 to be an upgrade over the D7Ks in pretty much every way I decided to buy a pair. My first impression was that they sounded very similar, but there are actually some serious differences. It's worth noting that I went into this situation with a bit of bias. I really, really expected to love the Th-900s.
These are without a doubt the nicest looking pair of headphones (well, in my opinion) that I have EVER seen. The cups are just absolutely beautiful. The pads are a total improvement over the old D7K pads (softer, deeper, they even look a bit nicer). The cable I consider to be a bit of an issue (just like the D7Ks). It's non-detachable and 10ft long, terminated in a 1/4" plug. The wooden stand they ship with these is a nice thought, but kind of a waste if you ask me. It looks and feels cheap, I would have rather had a nice storage box (the one included with the Th-900s isn't quite as nice as the one that came with the old Denon line).
Bass: Bass on the TH-900s is a bit more extended than the D7Ks, but lacks the overall impact of the D7Ks due to it's lack of overall weight. Bass is clean, crisp and well defined with the Th-900s, however it's only a slight improvement on the Denons. Some people may prefer the overall weight/impact of the D7Ks bass to the Th-900s slightly better defined bass.
Treble: I have occasionally been bothered by the agressive treble presentation of the D7Ks. I sometimes find it a bit too harsh or sharp sounding to my ears, not always but occasionally it bothers me. The Th-900s improve upon the D7K's treble presentation in every single way. It is detailed, crisp and possibly the best I have heard from any headphone to date.
Mids: This is where the Th-900s lost me, and where the D7Ks proved to be my preference. The mids on the D7Ks are slightly recessed. I was expecting somewhat of an improvement on the TH-900s. Well, it turns out that it's quite the opposite. The TH-900s have an even more recessed midrange than the D7Ks do, vocals can sound a bit distant, muffled and just bad overall (well, at least for a headphone in this price range). This makes the TH-900s sound a bit strange to me, their overall presentation just doesn't sound natural in any way. The D7Ks do have a typical V-shaped sound signature, but it works well for them as they are still decently balanced overall. I feel like every aspect of the sound compliments another and they sound truly euphonic. The Th-900s do make some improvements on the D7Ks, but aren't as enjoyable of a listen overall.
The pricing concerns me a bit too. I feel like these would be an appropriate follow up to the D7Ks at a similar price (<$1000) but are outdone by quite a few options well below their current asking price. I purchased mine at $1,300 (USD) and I don't feel like they're worth that. If I were a buyer who purchased a pair at the original price of $2,000 I would feel a bit betrayed or misled after seeing the recent price drop.
Overall these are a pretty good sounding pair of headphones but not worth their asking price in my opinion, especially considering all of the other options.

BROOMFIELD - Sometimes it helps to have a little luck on your side, and that was the case for the Kent Denver soccer team last Friday.
The fifth-seeded Sun Devils found scoring hard to come by in the Class 3A quarterfinals match with No. 4 Holy Family, but Cole Evans netted two goals to help the Sun Devils edge the Tigers 2-1 and advance to the semifinals.
"It comes in waves and we rode a couple of the waves and had some luck," Kent Denver's coach Aran Smith said. "Cole hit some great shots and it broke our way."
The Sun Devils will now face Faith Christian on Wednesday in the semifinals (results unavailable at press time); last season the Eagles beat Classical Academy 1-0 to win the state title. It will be the second year in a row that Kent Denver has advanced to the state semifinals.
"We need a good team effort like we did (Friday) and I think we have the passion to make it," Evans said.
After a scoreless first half, Smith told his team at halftime that their goals were going to come from free kicks and that was the case in the second half.
Evans broke the scoring drought three minutes into the half when took advantage of a miscommunication on the defense and rebounded a shot to get Kent Denver on board.
The Tigers scored their lone goal midway through the second half when Preston Arguello broke past the defense and got a shot past Sun Devils' keeper Mark Siegel.
However, Lewis sealed the win for Kent Denver at 73-minute mark after drilling a free kick from 50 yards out that sailed into the top left corner of the net.
"We knew they were really dangerous on those (free kicks)," Holy Family's coach Kathy Hagan said.
The Tigers did have several scoring chances throughout the game, but couldn't capitalize.
Patrick Borer's header was stopped by Siegel; the keeper also stopped shots by Brandon Floyd and Arguello in the second half and Nate Dalton's attempt also bounced off of the crossbar.
"We have made a commitment to playing good defense all year. The defense bent (Friday), but it didn't break," Smith said.

Unfortunately, I've discovered that it has 'white supremist' roots. The editor-in-chief, Frank Joseph has a past affilation with the neo-Nazis and the guy (George Kadar) who wrote the very good article in the last issue titled, "The On-Going Saga Of Kennewick Man," is an officer in another of these groups. Be very cautious about what you read in this magazine. BTW, all the 'Burrows Cave' hoopla is phony.

Here's the book:Matt Ridley:Some scientists, he says, believe that chimpanzees do not have a theory of mind, that is, they cannot imagine what another chimp is thinking. But studies show ambiguity. Chimps, we are told, regularly engage in deception. A baby chimp, for example, pretended he was being attacked by an adolescent so his mother would let him suckle her. Baboons, the author tells us, have performed well enough at computer discrimination tasks to show they are capable of abstract reasoning.
Nature via Nurture
by Stan Pinnegar
In the chapter The Madness of Causes we learn about such mental illnesses as bipolar disorder and, in Blame Mother, schizophrenia. The author makes the sobering point that heritability of schizophrenia is high in Western society, roughly 80 per cent, or about the same as body weight and much more than personality. And did you know that a mouse has 1036 olfactory sensors in its nose?

Homing In On The Red Paint PeopleBuried between 4400 and 3300 B.P., the dead--along with offerings of tools, animal bones, carved animal effigies, and small, white quartz pebbles--were covered in red ochre, earning them the moniker the "Red Paint People."
by Angela M.H. SchusterThe Mystery of the Lost Red Paint PeopleThe origins of the Southern Branch Maritime Archaic people are obscure. Shortly before 6,000 years ago a new stone tool complex appears in southern Labrador. The people who made these tools preferred locally-available cherts and rhyolites to the quartz, quartzite and Ramah chert of the Northern branch people. By about 5,000 or 4,500 years ago these people had become established on the coast of southern Labrador and parts of the central coast... The Southern branch people were the first humans to colonize the Island of Newfoundland.

The repeating convenient storyline of conveniently loveless and therefore amicably broken convenient prior love relationships in "Sleepless" and "Mail" which facilitated the true love relationships was a simple tool and signified shallowness in the characters and expediency to the happy ending we all waited too long for.... and both movies neglected all of that nasty relationship development stuff which happens after the big moment of discovery.

This is great stuff.
I went to your home page and noted that you are one of the top book review writers -- and I see you are reviewing intersting books.
I'll go and read your reviews. I am also bookmarking this thread. :)
While I am here, may I mention "The Lost Book of Enki,' by Zecharia Sitchin. The Memoirs and Prophecies of an Extraterrestrial God. (Fiction/Mythology) I think it is his latest book. It is written as prose and attempts to portray the key points of his research in a highly condensed chronology covering his entire works -- and what I think is a creative piece of writing, but alas, I fear, one that only a Sitchin fan would enjoy.
Connects some dots, expands the archeological/astro-archeological playing fields, and if nothing else, is great science-fiction. I've read all of the Sitchin material several times and it currently serves as my ancient world view, subject to alteration and modification, of course, as a proper response to the continuing stream of new evidence which confirms or disputes any aspect of the material.
Sorry if this is not appropriate for your blog. In which case, please delete. Thanks again and please keep me on your ping list.

YIKES! Well, I was reminded just how dangerous, ugly, selfish, elitist, irrational, compromised, indulgent, churlish and childish are the roots of the communist revolution around the world. They celebrate their godlessness with debauchery as if that makes them superior beings because they are true to themselves, especially when their true selves cause pain to everyone who ever loved or supported them. How admirable.
Frida was in pain, but that does not excuse her "art," or the IDIOTS who find value in it today. She is dead, and should remain that way.
Thanks for the ping!
The Edicts of King AshokaAsoka's edicts are to be found scattered in more than thirty places throughout India, Nepal, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Most of them are written in Brahmi script from which all Indian scripts and many of those used in Southeast Asia later developed. The language used in the edicts found in the eastern part of the sub-continent is a type of Magadhi, probably the official language of Asoka's court. The language used in the edicts found in the western part of India is closer to Sanskrit although one bilingual edict in Afghanistan is written in Aramaic and Greek. Asoka's edicts, which comprise the earliest decipherable corpus of written documents from India, have survived throughout the centuries because they are written on rocks and stone pillars. These pillars in particular are testimony to the technological and artistic genius of ancient Indian civilization. Originally, there must have been many of them, although only ten with inscriptions still survive. Averaging between forty and fifty feet in height, and weighing up to fifty tons each, all the pillars were quarried at Chunar, just south of Varanasi and dragged, sometimes hundreds of miles, to where they were erected.

Lanai Tsunami DepositThis is the deposit left by a giant tsunami as it washed up the south coast of Lana'i. The deposit consists of beach boulders plus coral fragments and sand, and extends to about 100 meters above sea level. Here it is about 4 meters thick.
by Volcano WorldThe Hilina Slump a.k.a. "The Big Crack"A 4,760 cubic mile chunk of the Big Island (Hawaii) is breaking away at the rate of 4 inches per year. This is the Hilina Slump, and it is said to be "the most rapidly moving tract of ground on Earth for its size." The Hilina Slump can move much faster. At 4:48 AM, November 29, 1975, a 37-mile-wide section suddenly dropped 11* feet and slid seaward 26 feet. The result was a magnitude-7.2 quake and a 48-foot-high tsunami. This was a minor of the slump. If the entire 4,760-cubic-mile block decided to break off, it would probably create a magnitude-9 quake and a tsunami 1,000-feet high. All the coast-hugging cities of the Hawaiian Islands would be swept away. And LOOK OUT Australia, Japan, and California.
by Wiliam CorlissJapan faces tidal wave threatScientists in Japan have discovered a fault in the seabed off the country's coast with the potential to unleash a giant "tsunami" tidal wave. The newly-detected fault lies off the south-eastern coast of Japan and may have been responsible for the magnitude 8.1 earthquake which struck the country in 1944, they say... The fault is close enough to the Japanese coast for there to be only minutes between a substantial earthquake along it and the tsunami reaching land... Jin-Oh Park and his colleagues believe that the fault they have found may have been responsible not just for a magnitude 8.1 quake in 1944, but a nearby magnitude 8.3 quake two years later.Giant Tsunami Would Follow Predicted Canary Isles EruptionThe computer model, compiled in collaboration with Steven Ward of the University of California, Santa Cruz, predicts that the tsunami will have a height of 100 metres (330ft) from crest to trough when it crashes into the shores of nearby north-west Africa. By the time it reached its final destination, the east coast of Florida and the Caribbean islands, the tsunami would still be up to 50 metres high.The drowning waveAny day now, a gargantuan wave could sweep westwards across the Atlantic towards the coast of North America. A mighty wall of water 50 metres high would hit the Caribbean islands, Florida and the rest of the eastern seaboard, surging up to 20 kilometres inland and engulfing everything in its path. If you thought the tsunamis that periodically terrorise the Pacific Ocean were big, consider this: the Atlantic wave will be five times bigger. It will start its journey 6000 kilometres away, when half an island crashes into the sea.
by Tristan MarshallLandslideEveryone realised that dropping something the size of New York City into the ocean would kick up a big wave, but it was only when Moore returned to Hawaii to explore the island of Lanai that he realised just how big. On the south side of the island, limestone boulders were scattered, some as much as 100 metres above sea level. Since the island itself is made of volcanic rock, the limestone could only have come from coral reefs beneath the sea surface. Moore also found fields of coral and seashells as high as 120 metres. The piece of mountain that is shifting is much larger than the slide that soaked Lanai. It's more on the scale of the "Nuuanu" collapse that spun the New York-sized chunk of rock off Oahu more than 1 million years ago, says Julia Morgan, a geologist at the University of Hawaii's Manoa campus on Oahu, who has been watching the mountain closely.
by Jonathan Knight
7 August 1999Could sea slides occur off N.J. coast?A computer simulation of the continental shelf 100 miles off the coast of New Jersey suggests that there may be pockets of water trapped under great pressure deep beneath the ocean floor. The study concluded that if such pressurized deposits of water exist, they could pose a threat of sudden undersea landslides. Peter B. Flemings and Brandon Dugan of Pennsylvania State University said even a small shaking of a mild earthquake could be enough for a sudden release of the water. That could cause undersea landslides down the side of the continental shelf. Such slides, involving many tons of sediment falling like an undersea avalanche down the side of a submerged mountain, have been known to cause tsunami waves.Mt Pinatubo's brimming lake threatens thousandsThis year has been particularly wet, and since the rainy season began in June the water level has been rising by up to a metre each week. The last time Rodolfo and Alonso flew over the lake in a military helicopter, they estimated that the water was only four metres from the lowest point of the crater wall, a V-shaped cleft called the Maraunot notch. Rodolfo and Alonso estimate that if the notch eroded down 10 metres, 30 million cubic metres of water would spill out. The water would probably mix with loose volcanic sediment on the way, hugely increasing its volume and creating a cement-like mixture knows as a "lahar". Rodolfo has seen fast-flowing lahars in action before. "It is a horrendous sight - horrifying and exceedingly beautiful." Engineering solutions to the threat include reinforcing the notch, or boring a tunnel into the crater to drain the lake. But the government says it is too late for such action now the rainy season has started. Rodolfo and Alonso believe this complacency could be disastrous and are now working with Oxfam to reach local agencies and people directly.
by Joanna Marchant
25 July 01Asteroids and TsunamisTsunami can travel at around 400 mph in deep water. When they reach shallow water they slow down, and that's when the real danger begins. The front of the wave slows first and the effect is like a pile-up on a freeway, with the rear of the wave catching up to the front. The wave increases in height from this bunching effect. The final height of the wave depends on several factors, but the shape of the sea floor has the greatest impact.
by Michael Paine
5 November 1999Out ThereIn the spring of 1986, I published my explanation of the black spots in a scientific journal: The Earth's atmosphere was being bombarded by house-sized, water-bearing objects traveling at 25,000 mph, one every three seconds or so. That's 20 a minute, 1,200 an hour, 28,800 a day, 864,000 a month and more than 10 million a year. These objects, which I call "small comets," disintegrate high above the Earth and deposit huge clouds of water vapor into the upper atmosphere. Over the history of this planet, the small comets may have dumped enough water to fill the oceans and may have even provided the organic ingredients necessary for life on Earth.
by Louis A. Frank
and Patrick Huyghe
Scientists reacted to my announcement as if I had plowed through the sacred field of established science with a bulldozer. I had. If the small comets were real, one scientist commented, textbooks in a dozen sciences would have to be rewritten... I spent more than a year answering the objections of critics. But I didn't convince them. It was 10,000 to 1 -- actually 2, myself and John Sigwarth, whose task as my graduate student assistant had been to help me resolve this black-spot mystery. "We have taken a representative poll of current opinion in this field," an editor at Nature wrote in rejecting a small-comet paper we submitted to them in 1988, "and the verdict goes against you." It was my first encounter with taking polls as a way of doing science.

Players expect the greens to play smooth; nothing should interfere with this surface. That's why we developed Milorganite Greens Grade, SGN 90. These small particles fall into the turf canopy so the fertilizer doesn't interfere with the putting surface, or end up in the baskets of greens mowers. Spreading the uniform, dust-free granules of Milorganite Greens Grade is one of the best ways to make sure your players return time after time.
Golf course tees take some of the roughest abuse on the golf course. Their care and maintenance is continually under fire due to the desire by golfers for that perfect tee shot. By including Milorganite in your fertility program for tees, you alleviate some of this stress.
Bentgrass, poa annua, kentucky bluegrass, fescue and perennial ryegrass
Bermuda, seashore paspalum and zoysiagrass
In regions where killing frosts can be expected, avoid nitrogen applications to warm-season grasses in the fall less than one month prior to the average date of the first killing frost. For best results, fertilize when over-seeding with cool-season grasses.
All rates are monthly except dormant which is annual.

With a low drop and lightweight feel for mild overpronators, the Saucony Mirage 2 is a reliable shoe with moderate cushioning and a semi-soft ride.
The Saucony Mirage 2 has you covered. This lightweight, supportive daily trainer has a responsive, fast midsole that works well for racing and training alike. The low stack height brings your heel closer to the ground to promote a more natural footstrike, and the thin upper allows feet to breathe from mile 1 to 26.
Model Number:
Weight: 9.6 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: Heel (26mm), Forefoot (21mm)
Available Widths: D=Medium
How it Fits (based on width D)
The Mirage 2 is a moderate feature, minimum support shoe designed for speedwork, racing and daily training.
Comments: Just did a 15 miler in these shoes, and am now totally sold. My feet do feel a lot less beat up than when I did 15 miles in the Kinvaras, and the extra weight really didn't slow me down at all at that distance. Perfect balance of responsiveness and cushioning. Am tempted to buy another pair, because the blue and white Mirage 3 looks kind of ugly!
From: Eddie, Brattleboro, VT
Comments: Just did a 6 miler on asphalt and packed/rocky dirt with these, fresh out of the box... felt great, coming from the Kinvara 3s and Fastwitch 4. I bought these for +15 mile runs and marathons, when the Kinvaras feel like too little shoe and the Fastwitch feels like too hard shoes...will report back after a few days when I've had a chance to do a long one with these, but so far am loving them... for some reason I find it easier to land directly under my body with these than with the Kinvaras, and the extra 1.5oz is really not bad at all...these shoes do have a certain "authority" in terms of how stable and rooted they make each of my footplants feel... guess I will keep the Kins for short easy runs and hills, and the Fastwitch for speedwork.
From: Eddie, Brattleboro, VT
Comments: They are good shoes, but I transitioned to these from Nike zooms and the transition was/still is miserable. These shoes have a 4mm drop as opposed to almost all nikes with a 9mm drop. My shins hurt for the first 20-30 miles in these shoes, but my shins are starting to come around. I have a size 9.5 and these feel slightly bulky definitely not a road racing shoe. I use these for track workouts and like I said definitely takes getting used to. I might just be a Nike guy, but who knows? Overall, I say that you are taking a gamble with these shoes especially if you're used to a 9+ mm drop.
From: Konstantin, Jackson, Mississippi, USA
Comments: Great shoe right out of the box. I run 30-40 miles a week at around a 8:00 Min pace. Wanted a lighter shoe with the support these advertised and they meet their description perfectly. For me the fit is true, I don't really know why the shoe fit guide here suggested a 1/2 size smaller, as it is absolutely not necessary for me. My foot borders on wide, but most medium width shoes fit, and these hold true to that.
I would definitely recommend these to anyone wanting to head towards a shoe with a minimalist attitude, but support and cushioning to ease the transition. Great shoe for training and racing any distance for me.
From: Curtis, Dallas, TX, USA
Comments: Saucony mirage 2 is finally a Saucony product that fits me well...have been running in Nike elite so the lower heel drop of Mirage2 is something i am being careful with .......some runners can make the switch quickly.....i am not one of them....I will stay using Nike elite 5 and work my way into mirage2 slowly.....do some walking and very slow jogging in these...I used saucony many moons ago so wanted to find Saucony that will work in the future for me...Mirage2 has some support with under 10 oz for size 9....5mm heel drop.....nice design ....
From: shoutscout, North Coast Cali
Comments: These shoes are great, i was running in Saucony Progrid Guide 5's before so i felt the difference in heel to toe at first but i got used to it after a few runs and its really strengthened my calves. I put in around 35-40 miles a week and these are just fine for that
From: Sam, Plainsboro, NJ
Comments: I've gone through 2 pairs of these now. The 4 mm drop is noticeable and if you're not used to it, it can be a little awkward starting out. The upper on the Mirage 2 is much improved from the Mirage 1 as it has far fewer overlays and the wrap feels good in the midfoot. They also fixed a problem with the heel collar where the offset near the laces seemed to close to the ankle bone causing rubbing in the Mirage 1. This is no longer a problem with the Mirage 2. The forefoot is slightly wider than average so that is a plus for many. The midsole material is on the firm side which makes for a responsive ride but it's not necessarily super smooth (this always seems to be the trade off) as it feels slightly disjointed from midfoot to forefoot follow through. The pronation control mechanism in these shoes is barely noticeable and the arch fit is snug. If you are looking for a light-stability cousin of the Kinvara's - these are likely not it. They are a far more firm ride compared to the Kinvaras from what I understand. Finally, the outsole is nothing to write home about. It's certainly a durable hard carbon and has a lot of road contact but it's quite slippery even when the shoes are new. Overall, it's a decently lightweight trainer for somebody looking for a touch of support but beware of the firmness and the 4mm drop which can cause the ride to be not quite as smooth as you'd like. Other than that - great update to a solid shoe.
From: Tony, Austin, TX, USA
Comments: Great shoes. After 3 decades with traditional shoes, I love these things. Too many good things to say. Great daily trainer for me. I'm just an average runner, trying to stay fit for life. 25 miles/ week.
From: Craig, Grand Rapids, MN USA
Comments: Having put about 160 miles in these in about 3 weeks, I am very pleased. Came from the Kinvara to these. The cushioning is much firmer than the Kinvara, and your feet feel significantly more protected. In addition these have a much better fit than any other shoe I've worn, and especially the super-narrow Kinvara. If you like low heel-to-toe deficit shoes, these are great for high-mileage training. They are a little plush for racing anything under half marathon, or any training under 6:00 min pace, and if your used to neutral shoes the stability is sizeable, though nothing that can't be adjusted to. Anything other than that, though, these are excellent pair of shoes.
From: Tim, Phoenix, AZ USA
Comments: I run 40-60 Miles per week at 6:30 to 7:40 pace, I bought these shoes for tempo runs of 6-12 miles and interval training on the track. I absolutely love the 4mm offset and thick forefoot cushioning. I recommend these shoes for anyone with mid/fore foot strike. I do not use these for long slow runs and do not recommend them for that as i often heel strike after 12 to 13 miles. I would not try to push these shoes over 300 miles. A very good shoe for conditional use and a great half marathon shoe.
From: Randy, Springfield, OR USA

Charles Schultze
Speaker: Charles L. Schultze
Date: April 10, 1969
Served in the Office of Price Stabilization (1951-1952) and the Council of Economic Advisers (1952-1958). Associated with the Bureau of the Budget beginning in 1962 and served as the Bureau?s Director (1965-1968). Schultze employed the management techniques of the Defense Secretary Robert McNamara to surpass the Bureau?s traditional function of restricting itself to budget calculation and allocation, thus increasing its power in the federal government. As director, he was one of Johnson?s most important advisers, whose main goal was to curb inflation caused by expenditures on the Vietnam War and the Great Society programs. In 1968, he played a key role in the Administration?s attempt to coach the legislation of an anti-inflationary 10% tax surcharge. During the presidential election of 1968, Schultze was a member of Vice President Hubert Humphrey?s economic task force.

Cream Not As Good :(The first 2 times I used this product, it was the powder, and it took really good, covered my grey and lasted longer than I had hoped it would. Then by a mistake I picked up the cream and thought I'd give it a try. I left it in for 2 hours as I had with the powder and it was for nothing cause it all rinsed away and there was all my grey strands still looking grey :(Jun 5, 2015Louise C.

I Hope They Never Discontinue This ProductI am surprised at the poor reviews of this product by some dissatisfied users. I can only imagine that the results may vary with the different textures and conditiond of the hair it is applied on. And I was equally surprised reading that the colour goes away with shampoos. Maybe it is a matter of using more gentle shampoo. In any case, with my hair and the shampoo I use, the colour stays and I only apply the henna again when the roots start to show. I.e. about every 3 weeks!
Of course, it would not occur to me to use the powder. The creme formula and the dispenser makes it a very easy process. And yes, you want to put cotton in your ear canal if you have short hair and you use the entire bottle. Try putting less (and use a chewing gum to cover the dispenser and keep the rest for another application). So far, I followed the instructions and left the product for about one hour, but I will try leaving it for longer - maybe the colour will be nicer (I use "Burgundy" and I always have comment about my "streaks" being always so consistent and natural looking! Of course, the streaks in question are simply the result of the hair that would be grey now having a reddish hue.
Whoever makes this product, I hope they never stop manufacturing it. I notice it is made in the USA. For me (a Canadian), it is a plus in that I try to buy "local". And some new lines offered on the same shelf is made in India. If it were to no longer be carried by the large merchant where I get it, I would probably cover distances to find it. I may even cross the border if it is not available here. This is how much I appreciate this product.

Green RootsMy hair stylist recommended this to me to cover my gray roots since I am allergic to regular hair dyes. She bought the liquid brown, applied it and bagged it as directed and let it sit one hour. It dripped terribly and I had to keep blotting. After rinsing it out, my roots are green. I'm hoping it washes out in about a week as another commenter said it would. Also, my ear is weeping as well so there is obviously something in it that I am allergic to. Fortunately, there was no discoloration or damage to the rest of my color treated dark brown hair.Aug 12, 2014Karen / PaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Color Treated Hair

Perfect For Bringing Back My Natural, Younger Color.I have been using this product for many years and the only thing I would use if I couldn't get this is pure powdered henna., I have naturally reddish brown hair that had gotten darker with age and now in my 50's is starting to grey at the temples.

Naturally Red & Keeping It That WaySince birth my hair has been naturally golden red. But, alas, if I didn't use Colora henna I would now be totally white. I vowed I'd keep my hair red as long as I am able. For about 20 years I am been using Colora henna--the "gold brown" in the powder form. My hair turns out to be more natural looking using the gold brown powder with gold highlights--not the garish red. For some time now when touching up the roots over the white or gray, it turned the hair a greenish color, which would disappear in about one week's time. It wasn't prominent because the golden red hair covered over the roots. I called the Colora Customer Service and was advised to use the Auburn cream formula over the pure gray hair. Next time I will try the cream over the gray portion and see what happens.Sep 21, 2012Bonnie / Manhattan Beach, CAHAIR TYPEWhite / Normal Hair

Read The LabelI use henna to color my hair. I like Colora for its convenience when I don't want to or can't make my own henna paste. For those of who with no to disastrous results, or those of you who don't care for the application process or the waiting time, read the label. Just like someone who uses the wrong "perm" will have awful results, the same is true if you use Colora Henna on dyed hair. Don't blame Colora if this happens. This is Colora Henna, not L'Oreal or Clairol. If you have colored your hair with a commercial product, there is a strong possibility you will not get the results you like. Colora Henna is a henna product. It is not a commerical chemical based hair coloring product. There is a big difference. And if you desire using a non-chemical product to color your hair, especially if you have allergies or sensitve skin, use plain henna with tea or coffee or the various safe recipes you can find online for excellent results. I like Colora; I am also willing to invest the time to safely color my hair.Aug 5, 2012Rosa R. / NYCHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair

Nice ProductI have been using the Colora creme in Mahogany for about 5 years now. My hair is about 15% grey and the rest is black. It gives me quite a nice red streak through the front of my hair.
Heat Helps!
I have bought a few ( back up as they are now vintage appliances) of those old 1960s cap type hair dryers on ebay. If I wrap my head in glad wrap and then use the dryer I get a much better red colour in one hour (3 without the heat to get the same shade of red).Has to be HOT .
I try not to wash my hair more that twice a week to keep the red colour from fading. I dye it about every three to four weeks.
Not sure about the solvent black etc that is in it, but my hair is in beautiful condition.
I only wish there was one with a blue berry colour. Using natural berries or beetroot etc.
Until then I will keep using this product.Apr 20, 2011Georgina / SydneyHAIR TYPENormal Hair

Perfect first pair to start a collection!
"Okay so this is technically my "first" pair of heels that I can go out and rock with some leggings, skinnies, a cute dress, etc. I usually wear a size 9 but they didn't have any and I read a previous review where the customer ordered a size up and it still fit her. I decided to take a chance and go for a size 10. They came in the mail today, they fit, and I LOVE them! They were a bit higher than I expected, but nothing too bad. These are adorable and very chic! Definitely a satisfied customer. :)"

"I have had my Vance Booties for over a month now and LOVE, Love, love them. They are so comfortable. Even though they are 5" heels with a plattform, it's as though your really wearing 3" heels; the deepth of your insole is not that dramatic at all, so it does make for a very comfortable shoe.I took the advise of many too who said they ran small (I where a 6.5) and ordered a 7 and they were perfect for me.I have had so many compliments on them, even a suited businessman saying, "Hot shoes! Where did you get those shoes?" (CLASSIC) So it was my chance to promote your store and said, "I got them at DSW, of course!" Ha, ha, ha.(Am I hired DSW?!!! Ha, hee, he.)One thing I have to say about these shoes also, is they are also a life saver. It snows here, in Montana nearly every day and the weather is freezing. You'd think having such high heels on would be dangerous. Not so in my Vance booties; they have great traction on the front sole of the shoe, to warrant being stylish even out in cold slippery weather. I haven't slipped or fallen once. I would suggest buying some water-proofing for them 1st though; the material is tweed after all.All in all, the shoes are worth every penny."

Progress: Loss of autism brain samples due to a freezer malfunction at a major brain bank in 2012 has caused a loss of progress in ASD research. Thus, there is a need for new samples to replace those that were lost and to begin expanding the amount of brain tissue available for ASD research. The Autism BrainNet initiative is a multi-site, privately funded effort that will target autism specifically and will include an autism-specific brain donation outreach campaign that addresses this objective. NIH launched the NIH Neurobiobank ($5 million), which includes samples for research on autism as well as other brain disorders, and has an associated online publication "Why Brain Donation? A Legacy of Hope" to increase awareness about brain donation. Both of these initiatives are not yet reflected in the Portfolio Analysis, because they began in 2013. In addition to these new brain banking efforts, the NICHD Brain and Tissue Bank produced a video for their website to generally increase awareness the potential value of brain and tissue donation to further basic research on neurodevelopmental and pediatric conditions. Since the effort is not autism-specific, it was not captured in the portfolio analysis.
Remaining Gaps, Needs and Opportunities: There is an ongoing and urgent need to raise awareness of the importance of brain and tissue donation for research, to standardize the methodology of collection and to increase the supply of such tissues. Autism BrainNet, a private outreach and postmortem brain donation program dedicated to research on autism and related disorders will integrate the Autism Tissue Program (ATP) with collection sites at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, and the University of California, Davis MIND Institute.
