Glass fell from a luxury hotel in downtown Toronto early Sunday for the third time in a year.
The glass dropped from the Shangri-La Hotel, on University Ave., near Adelaide St., around 1:20 a.m. No one was injured.
A balcony panel fell from the 23rd floor, said Ann Borooah, the city's chief building official.
"The building owners have been cooperating and identified the location through inspecting the units," she wrote in an e-mail.
City of Toronto inspectors arrived on the scene at 2 a.m., she added. Toronto Police officers remained outside the Shangri-La until the shattered glass was swept away Sunday afternoon.
There was a similar incident at the hotel in September when a 53-year-old man sustained minor injuries after falling glass from the 23rd floor struck him on the head.
Another pane of glass fell from the same building in January.
"We will be reviewing in context of previous failures," Borooah said.
The Shangri-La Hotel is run out of the first 17 storeys, with residential units occupying the higher floors.
Danny Roth, management spokesman for the residential floors, said efforts are under way to determine what happened, but added the glass "performed as designed in such an event, fracturing into tiny pieces on impact to avoid injury."
City spokesman Bruce Hawkins added "engineers retained by the owners under our orders" are investigating.

WTA Stuttgart 2013: Li Na vs. Petra Kvitova QF Preview
Reads: 2,410, Comments: 0
Reads: 2,410, Comments: 0
Li opened her campaign in Stuttgart in ruthless fashion as she completely annihilated Croatia's Mirjana Lucic-Baroni 6-1, 6-2 to advance to the last 8. The Asian was all over her adversary in that duel as she kept on returning the ball deep, disallowing Lucic-Baroni sufficient amount of time to get into a right position to put the ball back in play. With that type of show the 2013 Aussie Open runner-up gave away a warning to her rivals that beating her inside the Porsche Arena would be a mammoth task this week.
The world no.5 said later: "It's always tough when you change to a new surface so I'm excited to win my first match on clay for the season. Mirjana plays flat, so I had to be prepared for that. And I thought it would be a tough match because she has a lot of experience, too - she's over 30, like me! I was happy I could play more aggressively and had the right game plan to win."
Her challenger Kvitova's opener could not have been much different to what it turned out to be. The 2011 Wimbledon champ looked down and out in the encounter as she trailed former Stuttgart winner Julia Goerges by a set and a break of serve in the second set. The left-hander though had her way as somehow she hung on during the German's onslaught and went on to seal a 2-6, 7-6(4), 6-2 triumph in nearly 2 and a half hours.
The head-to-head between the two heavyweights is tied at 2 all. What's more fascinating is the truth that the pair have shared their play-offs on clay as well. While the world no.8 crushed the Chinese in Madrid in 2011, the 2nd seed exacted her revenge a couple of weeks later at the French Open en-route to her maiden Major title in Paris.
It is extremely difficult to pick a winner out of the two as Kvitova has all the ability, the dexterity and the guile to beat anybody on any surface, but her mental aptitude puts a question mark over all those qualities to get the job done. On the other hand, Li is known for her consistency and if she can put Kvitova under the gun for a while then she should come through. Still the outcome of the match is more or less on the 23 year old's racquet because if she finds her range, then she will walk away with the honors and if that doesn't happen it will be a comfortable victory for Li.
Pick: Kvitova in three!

Mikkel Boedker scored in overtime for the second straight game and the Phoenix Coyotes beat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 on Thursday night to take a 3-1 lead in the first-round series.
Boedker skated ahead of defenseman Nick Leddy and shoveled the puck under goalie Corey Crawford at 2:15 in the fourth straight game that has gone to an extra period.
Game 5 is Saturday night in Arizona.
Michael Frolik's tap-in from the left side with 1:26 left in regulation tied it and marked the third time in four games the Blackhawks rallied to force overtime after pulling Crawford for an extra attacker.
Shane Doan and Taylor Pyatt scored 44 seconds apart to give the Coyotes a 2-0 lead in the third. But Brendan Morrison, making his first appearance in the series, scored to make it 2-1 and send what had been a quiet United Center crowd into a frenzy.
Doan stripped the puck from Chicago's Johnny Oduya, made a nice cross-ice pass to Ray Whitney and then scored on a rebound of Whitney's shot at 7:03 of the third. The Coyotes struck again quickly when Antoine Vermette got the puck near the boards and made a nice feed to Pyatt.
Phoenix dominated play early in the final period. After being outshot 23-10 through the first two periods, the Coyotes had eight shots on goal to just one for the Blackhawks in the first 10 minutes. But then Morrison scored on a long slap shot from the right circle that appeared to hit a Coyotes' stick before flying past Mike Smith's glove and into the goal.
The Blackhawks played without star right wing Marian Hossa, who was driven to the ice and carried off on a stretcher in Game 3 after a shoulder-to-head hit from the Coyotes' Raffi Torres.
Torres was suspended indefinitely Wednesday and was scheduled for a hearing with the league Friday. The Blackhawks were already without rookie forward Andrew Shaw, who drew a five-game suspension for knocking Smith to the ice in Game 2. And there is no timetable for the return of Hossa, who led the team in regular-season points with 77.
Smith, who made 30 saves, stopped 11 shots in the opening period and shut off an early Chicago power play. Phoenix's Keith Yandle hit the pipe with one of his late attempts and the Coyotes got off only five shots in the scoreless first.
A minute into the second period, the Blackhawks' Brent Seabrook lost the puck, Radim Vrbata picked it up and fed Whitney, whose point-blank shot on a breakaway was stopped by Crawford.
Smith later stopped a breakaway by Frolik and the crowd at the United Center erupted when the puck slipped into the net — but after the whistle had blown. Minutes later, Smith snuffed a point-blank tip-in attempt by Bryan Bickell.

Anyone who has read about my late night adventures with Randy knows that he and I have a special connection. We work together, we laugh together, we eat and drink together. Randy and I like the same things and we hate together. Which is what this story is about. Most of the time Randy is very easy going, it's one of the reasons I like working with him. Every so often his girlfriend drops by just to say hi. I always let them have some alone time and when Randy comes back from break all the glittering green chips of ice in his eyes are warm, green and glowing. Randy and his girlfriend don't abuse the privileges I give them so when another guy we worked with came back to tell Randy his girlfriend was waiting for him I knew something was up.
I followed the boys up front. There was a smirk on Damien's face as Randy walked up to the counter. The woman in front of us was pretty. Her lips were full and lush. Her eyes were almond shaped, her hands were long and the nails on her fingers were freshly manicured. I can tell by his voice that Randy doesn't like this woman and as soon as she opens her mouth I know why. Her voice is shrill and sharp, the money in her hand is crumpled and dirty. Randy and I are both clean freaks. We like things to be immaculate, organized and efficient.
Very gingerly Randy takes the money she offers him. All the woman wants is ice. Six cups of ice is the only thing up on the order screen. I watched Randy walk over to the ice dispenser. In the background the woman won't stop talking. She wants to know if the ice is fresh. She reminds Randy to wash his hands. The cups should be handed to her as soon as he fills them. All of this is delivered in her shrill high-pitched screech, fingernails scraping on a blackboard are less violently disturbing. Randy's normally crystal clear eyes are cloudy. I hate the woman standing across the counter so as soon as she leaves I pump the guys I work with for information.
It turns out that everyone knows who she is. Everyone hates her and they even have a name for her. They call her the fresh ice woman which to me is misleading because the most distinguishing feature about her is the way that she talks. If you can imagine the sound of glass in a blender that's infinitely preferable to the sound of her voice. Even my sweetheart of a boss can't stand her. We doubled the price of of ice but the fresh ice lady keeps coming back. This went on for weeks. We suffered through more than twenty days of the fresh ice lady coming in only to buy six to eight cups of ice. One day we were out of large cups. Why? Because the previous day the fresh ice lady had taken the last of them. I raised the price of ice again.
The last straw came when the fresh ice lady complained that the ice wasn't fresh enough. Something had to be done. I clean compulsively but I also clean attentively. I had seen the bottle of ice machine cleaner in the back. I called Randy to see if he was interested in a "special project". I told him the ice machine needed cleaning and he would earn a bonus if he could get all the ice out of the machine in under an hour. Taking all the ice out of a machine is a bitch but Randy did it. We cleaned the machine out and it went faster because we both worked together. When the machine was clean I smiled at him. At the end of the night I handed him an envelope. He smiled at me as he stuck it in the back pocket of his jeans. Neither of us said anything as we walked across the parking lot.
The other day at work someone remarked that the fresh ice woman hadn't been around in a while. I made sure I didn't look at Randy. Hopefully he didn't look at me. The guys I work with aren't dumb. One of them is going to be a radiologist. He notices people and things. I was working with him when he asked about the fresh ice woman. All I did was shrug. Randy was the one who turned glowing green eyes on him and said "She won't be in again. She has all the fresh ice she's ever going to need."

Why Do Firms Contrive Shortages? The Economics of Intentional Mispricing
Given buyers' product-specific information capital, firms may increase long-run profits by underpricing (rationing) rather than clearing markets when demands or costs rise transitorily. To minimize resulting shortages' costs, sellers predictably would distinguish among customer groups, managing any queues of disappointed loyal buyers that materialized (but largely ignoring transitory buyer queues), and would discourage resale. Unlike other shortage models, short-run excess demand necessarily implies neither buyers who prefer consuming in groups nor waiting costs that are negligible. Any sense of unfair price increases would arise endogenously from sellers' failures to value appropriately customers' otherwise prudent informational investments.

Why Massage?
Massage helps to reduce the signs of aging and experience mental and spiritual healing as your mind releases stress and worry and allows a renewed sense of energy and emotional well-being to enter your spirit. Your body signals you when you have built up toxins that affect your well-being. When that happens, it's time to detox by massage.
I have long suffered from severe back pain. Over the years it has amounted to "flare-ups", resulting in occasional trips to the ER. After one of these I decided to make an appointment with Old Port Massage. To my astonishment my back has been feeling great since then.
A happy clientI have been able to increase the amount physical work and activity to well in excess of what would have been safe even six months ago. I now see Mei and her Staff probably too frequently – whenever I feel the remote onset of tightness and pain. They do wonders for me.
Collin AlexI would highly recommend Olde Port Massage to anyone who wants to feel amazingly rejuvenated from a fantastic massage.
Lori B.The reflexology session was amazing! I'd never had any kind of massage before, so I wasn't sure what it would be like. I think I'm addicted!
Matt, LimingtonAs a Valentine's treat, my boyfriend and I went in for reflexology, massage and aromatherapy, and it was a truly wonderful experience. I had never had a massage before, but I will definitely be back again!
Lori B.I've had massages before, but this one was above and beyond. It really got the knots out and I've felt so much freer in my neck and shoulders. I'm going to tell everyone about you!
Judy, StandishMy husband and I went in for the hot stone massage and reflexology treatments last night and it was wonderful! Warm people, quiet comfortable setting and great treatments. Perfect!

Why Reflexology?
Reflexology applies pressure to points on the feet that correspond to the individual parts of the body. It aims to restore balance and harmony by increasing the circulation to the internal organs and glands through the feet. By working on the reflexes, homeostasis can be achieved by unblocking energy.

I arrived late at the hostel, because my flight was delayed, just to find that the hostel had given my room to someone else. And even thou there was other rooms free, they would have me pay extra to stay in these rooms. I ended up in a dorm paying for one night and then moved in to my "booked" room the day after. I payed the remaining of the fee and went to a meeting. When I came back from the meeting they asked me to pay more money.

I booked the hostel, got a booking confirmation through from HostelWorld, and had paid a deposit. i then arrived and was told rudely and in dismissive fashion that there was no room. This is an atrocious and appalling way to treat a customer with a confirmed booking. The Hotel staff blamed it on your - HostelWorld's - booking system. I very luckily had a friend living in Beijing who bailed me out at the last minute or I would have had nowhere to stay. Appalling.

Lynn Haven, FL--Over to Redfern Gym on the Mosley campus, the Dolphins hosting 5-A two rival Crestview Friday night. Bulldogs in the black and with the early spurt here, first it's Antryon Coleman ahead to Shykeem Jackson, who spots up for the long two. Then it's Justin Cline with the nice pass underneath to Ronnie Baylark, who lays it in. Back come the Dolphins, working it inside to the big man Kody Wilkie, it works once....it works twice. But the Bulldogs just a little too much for the 'fins in this one, Baylark a steal and layup. Crestview wins 66-54, dogs now 12-5.
Crestview and Mosley go at it on the latter's floor Friday.

Something for Everything
This is my favorite toy of any I have ever had. I'm going to miss it. It worked well, the small tip made it easy to reach my sensitive areas, and the twist tip makes it easy to control the vibrations. It also lasts a long time and does not guzzle batteries, which makes it a great addition to my toy collection.Published:
Good range of vibrations, Powerful, Wand makes for easy use, Good for beginners and advanced users
Lack of texture on the tip makes it hard to feel, Toy is rather loud on the highest setting
Follow-up commentary
5 months after original review
One thing I've noticed is that as this product ages, it seems to start eating more batteries. When we first got it, we didn't go through a lot of batteries, but it seems as though lately we're having to change them every two or three uses.
It still packs a very pleasurable punch. I just don't like the drain on my wallet.

Man Rescues Cat Buried Alive in Concrete [GRAPHIC VIDEO]
In one of the saddest animal rescue videos of all time, a man finds a kitten encased nearly up to its neck in concrete and saves the cat from what was inevitably a cement grave.
Andrew Chatwin found the kitten at the home of Isaac Wyler in Colorado City, Arizona inside a metal tube that was being using to construct cement posts for a shade structure for horses. After cutting the tube, Chatwin was able to dig the concrete post out of the ground and chip away at it with a claw hammer until he was finally able to free the cat. Chatwin and Wyler were able to then take the kitten, covered with chunks of concrete dried onto its body, to the Best Friends Animal Society where it died a few days later.
The Huffington Post reports that Chatwin said that the Colorado City sheriffs didn't seem to concerned about the animal cruelty incident when he reported it. Chatwin said,
"[The officer] kind of chuckled and laughed a little bit and then he said that if it was up to him, he'd just throw dirt on [the cat]."
Andrew Chatwin and Isaac Wyler are both former members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, a Mormon sect that split off in the early 20th century in order to continue the controversial practice of polygamy, and have both spoken out publicly against the organization and its former leader Warren Jeffs. Chatwin and Wyler claim that small animals are used by Warren Jeffs followers to send death threats to Isaac Wyler on a regular basis.
In the video, you can hear the cat crying and it's pretty hard to watch. One of the last things said in the video is "Doesn't make sense, does it?" – No, it makes ABSOLUTELY no sense whatsoever.

BUCHAREST (Reuters) - One of Romania's ruling parties has vowed to block proposals that would increase the immunity of members of parliament from corruption charges, as the European Union presses Bucharest to rein in graft and organized crime.
Brussels has had Romania's justice system under special monitoring since it joined the EU in 2007. The country has taken some steps against corruption, including jailing former prime minister Adrian Nastase, but critics say the new proposals risk undermining the effort and scaring off investment.
Condemned by President Traian Basescu and by several western embassies, the changes were approved by the lower house of parliament in a session on Tuesday.
The bill, under which MPs would no longer be subject to investigation under corruption charges linked to public office - such as abuse of power or conflict of interest - were passed without proper debate, opposition politicians, pro-democracy groups and some western diplomats said.
Crin Antonescu, whose Liberal Party co-rules in coalition with Prime Minister Victor Ponta's Social Democrats, said parliament should keep "all those articles that maintain criminal liability" in legislation.
"I will propose that Liberal MPs reject those changes that have been made and can be interpreted in the way of creating a super-immunity," he said. "To repair a wrong decision is now the most important thing."
Ponta later told reporters: "The law needs to be discussed again ... first with the justice ministry, the Supreme Council of Magistrates and the General Prosecutor's office, and if it is endorsed, must be presented to the European Commission to see whether it breaks any international obligations of Romania."
The bill has yet to be submitted to President Traian Basescu who must sign it into law for it to come into force.
Basescu has said he will not endorse the bill and send the proposed changes back to parliament to be amended. An opposition centrist grouping said it was preparing to file a challenge in the constitutional court.
Judicial data show 28 lawmakers are on trial on corruption charges or serving jail sentences.
The National Integrity Agency, an anti-graft watchdog, has ruled that 193 mayors, deputy mayors and councilors have had conflicts of interest, falsified statements or had wealth they could not account for since the middle of 2012.
A study by the agency of local councilors showed many of them, or their spouses, owned firms which had been awarded public contracts.

Ticking and rattling, but it's all on video... help!
Ok. So two things:
#1 The common tick from the engine, but from what I've read it can be different things depending in the tick. The tick you can hear throughout most of the video. #2 Rattling. After reading many forums, i believed this mysterious rattle was coming from the bushings where the transfer case linkage meets the linkage bracket. But the description isn't quite the same to the problem I am having, as the rattling only happens in 10-15+ mph, but is not limited to only bumpy roads (as a lot of people with this issue have said), and doing anything with the t-case lever doesn't stop or start it (as many people have said). Although the amount of rattling changes for some reason, i have never found any particular interval or situation that it occurs, just random. The rattling is also much faster at higher speeds, but as you can hear, the clanking doesnt happen in any set tempo, it just sounds like loose metal slapping against some other piece of metal. 1st part of video = just engine compartment for tick 2nd part of video = driving around with my camcorder zip-tied on a control arm to hear the rattling 3rd part of video = inside my cab playing with the t-case lever Sorry its 7 min, just wanted yall to be able to hear everything and anything Appreciate any help in solving these... crimes... against my jeep. :confused: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cC-riicidIg |
Hard to tell direction and whatnot from the video (to try and localize), but: - part 1 -- possibly the fan hitting the fan shroud? - part 2 -- maybe its me, but it kinda looks like the front drive shaft is vibrating. When you were parked and showed the play in the driveshaft, was it in 4wd? I'm thinking that your front pinion gear may be a little loose. This may cause the vibration, the tick, and the play on the driveshaft. (just a guess tho) - part 3 -- if I remember right, the amount of play in the 4wd engagement arm can be adjusted. Might check that. |
#1 - checked, it's not the fan hitting the shroud #2 - when i was parked and showed the play in the front DS, it was not in 4wd. and the tick is for sure from the engine compartment, 95% sure its from the engine itself. in person you can easily tell, thats why i tried to get a bunch of footage for y'all. appreciate the ideas tho man! |
Sorry, meant it was hard to tell direction based on the sound.
If you drop it in 4wd does the front DS still have as much play? The ticking frequency certainly increases as you accelerate. What if you get up to speed and then hold the clutch down. If the ticking frequency slows down (but not the vehicle) then I would say it is internal to the engine. If the frequency stays the same, then it has gotta be part of the rest of the drivetrain (DS, t-case, wheel hub, etc). |
good idea man, im gonna try that next time I can. anyone on the rattling? has anyone changed the bushing for the t-case shift lever with the TSB part from jeep? if your rattle sounded like mine, then it may be just that. some forums i read in the past about that TSB, people said it was a loud clanking of metal, but some said it was more of a thump, so i dont know. anyone had this problem with the same sound, used the tsb, and had it work?
Also, the rattling has been happening since I got the jeep (my fault to just test drive around the neighborhood). I would say it happens more than it did last june when I got it, but its basically the same problem. it hasn't adversely affected anything else on the jeep, at least i think, so that, to me, would point more towards the t-case shift lever bushing wearing out... thoughts????
sounds like front universal man i'd change those out and try that the vibrating is coming from that front ds. sounds like a lifter tap in the top end!!!!!!!!!
90 Attachment(s)
Tick sounds like lifter to me.
Rattle sounds like something is in the front diff....but that's just a guess...or maybe a bearing has self destructed. I'm really not sure. its really hard to say for sure. also check all the u joints. To rule out t-case linkage, remove it and see if the noise goes away. |
Ok, so the rattling is def coming from the driveshaft, when I engage 4wd it stops, but then makes a high pitch whistling noise which is very weird. Also, what on the driveshaft could cause that much rattling when in 2wd but then go silent when in 4wd? something loose in the transfer case? or does it just need new U-joints?

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 3:44 PM GMT on April 29, 2013
The Red River at Fargo, North Dakota surpassed major flood level on Sunday and continues to rise, with a peak expected Wednesday at the 9th highest flood level observed since 1897. On Friday, the President an emergency declaration for North Dakota because of the flooding, and millions of sandbags have been filled in anticipation of the huge flood. This year will be the fourth time in the past five years that Fargo has experienced a top-ten flood in recorded history. Flood stage is eighteen feet, and the Red River has now reached flood stage at Fargo for an astounding nineteen of the past twenty years, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Prior to this remarkable stretch of flooding (which began in 1993), the river flooded in just 29 of 90 years. The Army Corps of Engineers calculates that in the last twenty years, the Red River has had ten 1-in-10 year floods--one every two years, on average. Two of these floods (1997 and 2011) were greater than 1-in-50 year floods, and one (2009) was a 1-in-100 year flood. That year, the Red River hit a record high-water mark of nearly 41 feet, or 23 feet above flood stage. Thousands of people had to leave home for higher ground, and about 100 homes were badly damaged or rendered unlivable. This year's flood will be somewhere between a 1-in-10 year to 1-in-50 year flood. Since a 1-in-10 year flood, historically, has a 10% chance of occurring in a given year, the incidence of flooding along the Red River over the past twenty years has clearly been extraordinarily abnormal.
Figure 1. View of the Red River of the North at the Fargo gauge taken on April 24, 2013 (top) and April 29, 2013 (bottom.) The river rose from 17' on the 24th (flood stage is 18') to 31' on the 29th. Image credit: USGS.
Reasons for this year's flood: unfavorable weather conditions
The USGS cites five weather factors that can act to increase flooding along the Red River. Four out of five of these factors occurred to a significant degree this year:
1) Above-normal amounts of precipitation in the fall of the year that produce high levels of soil moisture, particularly in flat surface areas, in the basin. North Dakota had its 9th wettest fall since 1895 during 2012.
2) Freezing of saturated ground in late fall or early winter, before significant snowfall occurs, that produces a hard, deep frost that limits infiltration of runoff during snowmelt. Fargo had temperatures that hit 50°F on December 2 - 3, 2012, followed by a sudden plunge to below-freezing temperatures that began on December 7. Temperatures remained below freezing the rest of December, and this froze the saturated ground to a great depth.
3) Above-normal winter snowfall in the basin. Fargo received 68.4" of snow during the winter, which is well above the city's average of 50".
4) Above-normal precipitation during snowmelt. Fargo has received 2.06" of precipitation so far this April, compared to the average of 1.23".
5) Above-normal temperatures during snowmelt. Fargo got lucky here. High temperatures in Fargo have been above average only two days during April, on the 26th and 27th.
Figure 2. Current and forecast flood stage for the Red River of the North at Fargo, ND. The river passed major flood stage on Sunday, and is headed for a crest near 35.5' (which is 17.5' above flood stage) on Wednesday. You can access images like these using our wundermap for Fargo with the "USGS River" layer turned on. Click on the icon for USGS station 05054000, then hit the "click for graph" link.
Reasons for flooding: increased urbanization
Urbanization has had a major impact on increasing flooding not only along the Red River, but in every river basin in the U.S. Many cities and developed areas are located in flood plains next to major rivers and their tributaries. Highways, streets, parking lots, sidewalks, and buildings now cover large areas of the ground that used to absorb excess rain water and slow the rate at which run-off from precipitation and melting snow reached rivers. By developing large portions of our flood plains, run-off now reaches rivers more quickly, generating higher floods.
Reasons for flooding: building more levees and flood defenses
Defending ourselves against floods has made floods worse. Every time a new levee is built, or an old flood wall raised in height to prevent overtopping, more and more water is forced into the river bed, which raises the height of the flood. Flood waters that used to be able to spread out over their natural flood plains are now forbidden from spilling out over newly developed land in flood plains. For example, a 2010 proposed improvement to the flood defense system in Fargo could cause a 4 - 10 inch rise in floods immediately downstream from the city, according to the Army Corps of Engineers.
Figure 3. Peak flow of the Red River at Fargo, North Dakota from 1901 - 2012. Three of the top five floods since 1901 have occurred since 2009. The projected crest for 2013 would be the seventh greatest flood since 1897. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers lists the 10-year flood level for the Red River at Fargo to be 10,300 cubic feet per second (cfs), and a 50-year flood to be 22,300 cfs. A 10-year flood, historically, has a 10% chance of occurring in a given year. In the last twenty years, the Red River has had ten 10-year floods--one every two years, on average. Two of these floods (1997 and 2011) were greater than 1-in-50 year floods, and one (2009) was a 1-in-100 year flood. This year will be the fourth year out of the past five with a greater than 1-in-20 year flood. Image credit: U.S. Geological Survey.
Reasons for flooding: precipitation is increasing
Over the past century, precipitation over the Red River of the North drainage basin in Eastern North Dakota and Western Minnesota has increased by about 15%--more than any other region of the country. This fits the pattern expected by climate change models, which predict that winter and spring precipitation will increase by another 15% by the year 2100 over the Red River of the North drainage basin. As the climate warms, evaporation of moisture from the oceans increases, resulting in more water vapor in the air. According to the 2007 IPCC report, water vapor in the global atmosphere has increased by about 5% over the 20th century, and 4% since 1970. Satellite measurements (Trenberth et al., 2005) have shown a 1.3% per decade increase in water vapor over the global oceans since 1988. Santer et al. (2007) used a climate model to study the relative contribution of natural and human-caused effects on increasing water vapor, and concluded that this increase was "primarily due to human-caused increases in greenhouse gases". This was also the conclusion of Willet et al. (2007).
Figure 4. The colors on the map show annual total precipitation changes (percent) for 1991-2011 compared to the 1901-1960 average, and show wetter conditions in most areas (McRoberts and Nielsen-Gammon 2011). The bars on the graphs show average precipitation differences by decade for 1901-2011 (relative to the 1901-1960 average) for each region. The far right bar is for 2001-2011. (Figure source: NOAA NCDC/CICS-NC. Data from NOAA NCDC.) Note that precipitation over the Red River of the North drainage basin in Eastern North Dakota and Western Minnesota (outlined in red) has increased by about 15%--more than any other region of the country. Image credit: National Climate Assessment Draft, 2013.
Figure 5. Projected seasonal precipitation change for winter and spring (percent) for 2071-2099 (compared to1901-1960) as projected by the climate models used to formulate the 2013 IPCC climate change report, assuming we keep emitting heat-trapping gases like carbon dioxide to the atmosphere at current rates. Teal indicates precipitation increases, and brown, decreases. Hatched areas indicate confidence that the projected changes are large and are consistently wetter or drier. In general, areas that are wet are expected to get wetter, and areas that are dry will get drier. White areas indicate confidence that the changes are small. The Red River Valley is expected to see a precipitation increase of at least 20%, which would lead to bigger and more frequent spring floods. (Figure source: NOAA NCDC / CICS-NC. Data from CMIP5; analyzed by Michael Wehner, LBNL.) Image credit: Preliminary draft of the 2013 U.S. National Climate Assessment report.
A permanent fix for Fargo's flooding problems: a $2 billion diversion canal?
As the population continues to expand, development in flood plains and construction of new levees and flood protection systems will continue to push floods to higher heights. With global warming expected to continue and drive ever higher precipitation amounts--falling preferentially in heavy precipitation events--it is highly probable that flooding in the Red River Valley--and over most of the northern 1/3 of the U.S. where precipitation increases are likely (Figure 5)--will see higher and more frequent spring floods. With these higher and more frequent floods comes the increased risk of multi-billion dollar disasters, when a record flood event overwhelms flood defenses and inundates huge areas of developed flood plains. Obviously, we need to make smart decisions to limit development in flood plains to reduce the cost and suffering of these future flooding disasters.
A permanent fix for Fargo's flooding woes may lie in the construction of a 36-mile long canal that would steer flood waters around Fargo and neighboring Moorhead, Minnesota, according to an April 28, 2013 Associated Press article. The proposed canal could cost $2 billion and take ten years to complete, but has drawn strong opposition from farmers, homeowners and businesses who lie in the path of the proposed diversion channel. The http://www.redriverbasincommission.org/ has the latest long-term options on new flood control options for the Red River.

A good way to track the flooding event is to use our wundermap for the Red River with the USGS River layer turned on.
The Fargo Flood webpage of North Dakota State University, Fargo, has some excellent links.
I'll have a new post on Wednesday at the latest.

Quoting CybrTeddy:no worries! We had widespread rains of 1-3" last night, and check out gomex vis sat! |
Levi hows the weather in Alaska ? I need to cool of!!!!! |
Heat index for today reched 136 f i will post some pictures of what happens when its so hot later in the evning |
Quoting GeoffreyWPB: After due meditation, I've been illuminated he meant *stewed* lentils and *stuffed* herring balls. His servants printed the menu wording backwards. Man, Austin needs rain. |
Quoting Tropicsweatherpr: Well no not despite it. The warm pool north of Hawaii is characteristic of a negative PDO in April and May. This is what the PDO pattern looks like (mentally reverse the colors for negative PDO): |
Quoting Levi32: So despite that, the PDO will continue negative? |
Looks like everything around Tampa is falling apart. |
Quoting Tropicsweatherpr: Well firstly it fits well with a typical negative PDO signal, but the pattern the last two weeks with a semi-permanent cut-off low north of Hawaii has reduced the strength of the westerlies north of the subtropical high, which may be allowing the water to warm more than normal. |
Hi Levi. What is causing that big warm pool located North to Northeast of Hawaii? |
Starting to look like Fargo dodged a bullet this year. Crest forecast down from 38 feet a few days ago. Just shy of the top of the dike. Live Webcam |
18Z GFS shows a very wet NE Caribbean. |
Quoting Gearsts: It could be due to the MJO hanging out in the Indian Ocean for the next couple weeks on the GFS forecast. I don't think the ITCZ position in the Atlantic matters much until we pass May 20th, which seems to be the magic date when the pattern flips rapidly from spring to summer mode. |
Quoting TropicalAnalystwx13: Ugh. |
Quoting Gearsts: Don't like the yellow tongue over the N Leewards. |
From this afternoon's Miami NWS Disco... THE 500 MB TEMPERATURES THIS MORNING WERE A COUPLE OF DEGREES WARMER THAN 24 HOURS AGO. HOWEVER, AN OFFSET TO THIS WAS THAT THE 850 MB TEMPERATURE HAVE ALSO WARMED SO THE LOWER LEVELS HAVE BECOME INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE WITH AN EARLIER ONSET OF CONVECTION THAN ON MONDAY. PWAT IS ALSO VERY HEIGHT FOR LATE APRIL AND THIS THE REASON FOR THE EXTREME RAIN. OUR RADAR HAS ESTIMATED NEAR 10 INCH TOTAL IN CORAL GABLES AREA JUST WEST OF MIRACLE MILE. |
Quoting Grothar: I'm afraid to ask what the dipping sauce for herring balls is made of :( |
See that? Looks like outflow boundaries are going to collide directly down the length of I-4 in Hillsborough. Plant City and Brandon might get something interesting. |
This is the 25-run CFSv2 2-meter temperature anomaly forecast for May 2013: Average of the past 7-runs: Most recent: No Spring...maybe June? =( |
Oh boy. Atlanta is getting a new stadium and some of the designs are just awesome. These seem to be one of the two that are in the running. This one does have a retractable roof. If you wish to see the roof and how it works go to the video on the bottom of the page. Very cool on both. Here is the other one. Second one really pushes being eco. Link |
Quoting Grothar: How do you stuff a lentil? Really tiny pieces of crab meat? Radar is starting to fill in around here... |
Quoting Grothar: Well-hidden, I might add. |
Quoting redwagon: Herring balls. |
Interesting, thunderstorms are sort of back building towards the west coast of Florida, lingering boundaries around the West Coast of Florida and approaching upper energy will likely allow for additional heavy rain in areas the need it most by tomorrow morning. |
Quoting Grothar: Perhaps you meant herring 'rolls'. You'd need to eat about 650,000 herring balls otherwise. |
Quoting VR46L: I think it was SFL. |
The ITCZ is on the last day of April in the equator and IMO, I say is lower than what is supposed to be.(Between 4-6N) |
Michelle Schlachta, April 30, 2013 Community Manager, Weather Underground Greetings WunderBlog Community, Link |
Last image for awhile. I just got an early dinner call. Stuffed lentils and steamed herring balls. mmmm I can't wait. |
Quoting hurricaneben: 70 mph winds are not rare in south Florida, they get thunderstorms throughout the summer that occasionally produce winds that high or stronger. Widespread events in one day are not that common, but that's the nature of tropical convective air masses not driven by dynamics and frontal systems. However, over the course of the summer, most people experience severe thunder storm events in Central and south Florida. |
Quoting weathermanwannabe:Nor C IL, have had 9.2" in last 16 days. Sure hope we get less than shown in models, but forecast has rain chance for 6 days starting Thurs p.m. We're good, would like 10 - 14 days w/ some breeze and lots of sun to dry fields. Then .5"ish rains every week to 10 days for next two months - one can wish anyway! |
Quoting PalmBeachWeather: Get the Led out! |
Quoting CaribBoy:Don't drown please! |
(Credit: Image courtesy of National University of Ireland, Galway) Exploring the Saltiness of the Ocean to Study Climate Change Apr. 30, 2013 — Details are emerging from a recent research expedition to the Sub-Tropical North Atlantic. The objective of the expedition was to study the salt concentration (salinity) of the upper ocean. Scientists aboard the Spanish research vessel Sarmiento de Gamboa, including National University of Ireland Galway's Dr Brian Ward with two of his PhD students, Graig Sutherland and Anneke ten Doeschate, explored the essential role of the ocean in the global water cycle. ... Dr Ward explains: "The ocean and atmosphere are a coupled system and therefore need to be studied in unison. A major part of our research is to determine how this system affects and is affected by climate and environmental change." This Irish and Spanish collaboration is part of a bigger international effort called SPURS - Salinity Processes in the Upper Ocean Regional Study. There was also an American research ship in the area participating in the SPURS study, and the Spanish ship was visited by Dr Ray Schmitt from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). ... One of the biggest motivators for SPURS was the recent launch of two satellites for measuring ocean salinity: the European Space Agency's Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity (SMOS), and NASA's Aquarius mission. Dr Ward explains: "It is envisioned that with the combination of the in-situ measurements, satellites, and computer models, we can improve our estimates of global climate change and the water cycle. These data will also be used to improve weather forecasting, and we worked with the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting during this field experiment."

Quoting Tropicsweatherpr: BEST MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND AXIS OF HEAVIEST RAINFALL ARE STILL FCST OVER THE LEEWARD ISLANDS WHERE SIGNIFICANT MULTI-DAY TOTALS ARE LIKELY. I like this statement, but I prefer to not believe them until I see the rain beginning to fall... lol and not just a short shower :-) |
Hey, hey, Mama, said the way you move, Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you grove...... |
Hi folks over there in blob land. Here's is an update on the flooding situation (including large amounts of hail) on the usual dry Arabian peninsula 30 April 2013 Last updated at 21:32 (Video) Torrential thunderstorms have brought more than a month's worth of rain in a few hours to parts of the Arabian peninsula, leading to extensive flooding. BBC Weather's Chris Fawkes reports. |
Quoting Gearsts: Finnally! |
Heading home shortly but here is a part of the PM Tallahassee NWS discussion on the Gulf. Confirms what we have been seeing all day.......It is moving real slow..... NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 234 PM EDT Tue Apr 30 2013 .NEAR TERM [Rest of this afternoon and Tonight]... The 17 UTC regional surface analysis showed a quasi-stationary frontal boundary from north central FL, extending westward just off the Gulf Coast to the LA area. A large MCS was propagating eastward along the front near LA, while plenty of deep moist convection continued to develop over the western Gulf of Mexico. Everyone have a great afternoon and stay safe......WW. |
Quoting StormTrackerScott: Nice and green over here in FLL. It reminds me of the old rainy seasons we used to get. It looks like more for the rest of the week. |
Busting the shield! |
Both our local Miami news said the blob will be over Florida tomorrow and perhaps linger for a few days. The we should be looking to the East of Florida for the low to develop. |

The First Samsung Galaxy Tab Commercial Shows Off Swype, Augmented Reality & Video Calling
Prepare to get hit by a ton of Sammy marketing. The commercial embedded here is likely just the first wave of Samsung's assault on the iPad. And it seems that they're going about it the right way, too.
The commercial simply shows off the Galaxy Tab's capabilities in an Apple-ish sort of way. We've said all along that if any Android tablet has a chance to steal marketshare away from the iPad, it's the Samsung Galaxy Tab and this commercial, along with our extensive hands-on, seems to confirm our thought. Now all we need is to know is its price tag and when it will hit stores.

Can someone recommend any apps and games that are worth getting also any utilities that I would need..
It's a very general question give us some more info and we can give you a better answer. What did you buy the iPad to so? What games do you like ? Etc.
When I bought my iPad I found the Appstart App (it's free) to be a good sourve of information. I would also highly recommend Flipboard.
In addition to the good resources here, there are three web sites that may help you with iPad information, Lifehacker, iLounge, and AppAdvice. There is also an app for AppAdvice. There are tons of other resources, but I found these very useful when I first got my iPad, especially since they are not super-techy. Good luck
Just make sure the apps are for iPad. There is such a difference the iPhone ones work ok but blowing them up for the iPad is terrible. I am slowly getting the replacements on the iPad. But you will never have as much fun sitting in one place lol.
Thanks for all the advice, I had the iPad for games and for something to play with but I'm still learning new and different ways the iPad works and does. So far so good
If all you do is play games then it doesn't matter. However, if you track any money or personal information or place on-line orders, then I would highly recommend 1Password by: agilebits.com/
I'm using this free app, "Zite" everyday. It gives you articles and news based on your reading trend. (I.e. You click a "like" icon for the article you like and it will give similar articles of similar interest). And the news and articles are presented in a clean and uncluttered magazine-like format.

Fans and friends of Salman Khan are well aware of the actor's farmhouse and its picturesque location in Panvel, away from the crowded streets of Mumbai, on the outskirts of the city. This particular house, that has poultry and has given shelter to many animals including horses, has never been used in films but this time around, for Bajrangi Bhaijaan, superstar Salman Khan decided to make it an exception.
Filmmaker Kabir Khan and his team were on a lookout for a particular kind of location while shooting certain sequences for their upcoming film Bajrangi Bhaijaan. Talking about the incident, the director added that Salman Khan offered to help and asked the team to do the scenes at his farmhouse. In fact, Kabir also mentioned that when the recee team reached the location, they loved it. From what we hear, Salman Khan had decided to do this sweet gesture in order to help the makers save money and time.
Also starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Kareena Kapoor Khan, Bajrangi Bhaijaan is produced by Eros International and is slated to release on July 16, 2015.

Margaret O'Brien sings, dances and keeps the faith in this heart-warming musical drama costarring Robert Preston, Danny Thomas and George Murphy. Midge (O'Brien) is the luckiest girl in New York. Found abandoned as an infant, she's adopted by a cantor (Thomas), a reverend (Preston) and a Catholic cop (Murphy), who raise her together as only three loving fathers can. But when the police officer marries a saloon singer (Betty Garrett) and insists on sole custody, the trio winds up in court, where Midge, with the help of a kind-hearted judge (Edward Arnold), must decide what's best for her fathers as well as herself. Highlighted by opera legend Lotte Lehmann in her only American film appearance and featuring Broadway star Betty Garrett in her big-screen debut, Big City is MGM at its musical best, packed with "good production values, charming musical numbers and standout performances" (The Motion Picture Guide). |

Only in the movies - sure, a lot of Hokum - but it's so good-natured you can brush it off and enjoy. It's not much of a movie beyond its cuteness. It's standard single-layered and progressive in the original 1.33:1 aspect ratio and is a bit hazy. Contrast isn't producing premium black levels but it is a reasonable appearance and acceptable. There is a touch of noise - but overall very watchable. The mono sound is decent but unremarkable and there are no subtitles offered. There are no supplements. Interesting to see Danny Thomas. One of the issues I had was that Big City seemed to drag a bit - mainly, I suppose, because I wasn't very interested in it. Others may differ. It's not a bad film - just not a very engrossing one. |

Researchers discover previously unknown method by which molecular manipulation occurs.
Two scientists at the University of Louisville, together with German researchers, have discovered a method unknown up to this time by which the biological process of allostery occurs, a finding that has implications for better focused therapeutic treatments with fewer side effects.
With extraordinary support from the James Graham Brown Foundation, KentuckyOne Health, Kosair Charities, the Louisville community and the University of Louisville's President Dr. James Ramsey, the James Graham Brown Cancer Center is providing and developing through innovative research the most effective approaches to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer.
The James Graham Brown Cancer Center's Clinical Programs offer patients the latest types of cancer treatments, state-of-the-art multidisciplinary care, and access to cancer trials of innovative treatments.
The James Graham Brown Cancer Center's Cancer Research Programs span laboratory science, clinical research, and population-based studies and are conducted by teams from multiple University of Louisville Departments and other academic institutions. We are a nationally-recognized center for the development of experimental cancer therapeutics and diagnostics and have the largest cancer trials program in the region.
Importantly, we are also training the next generation of cancer scientists and physicians and providing education about cancer prevention, with special attention to the needs of under-served populations in Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio.
We all know someone who has lost the battle with this ubiquitous disease. We all fear it could happen to us.
The fight against cancer is one of the most daunting challenges confronting our nation today. And nowhere in the United States is that battle raging more fiercely than right here in Kentucky. We lead the nation in the number of people stricken by this disease. And we lead the nation in the number of cancer-related deaths.

Exploring the conditional performance of U.K. unit trusts
Fletcher, Jonathan and Ntozi-Obwale, Patricia (2009) Exploring the conditional performance of U.K. unit trusts. Journal of Financial Services Research, 36 (1). pp. 21-44. ISSN 0920-8550
Full text not available in this repository. (Request a copy from the Strathclyde author)Abstract
We evaluate the conditional performance of U.K. equity unit trusts using the approach of Lynch and Wachter(2007, 2008) relative to three conditional linear factor models. We find significant time variation in the conditional performance of some trust portfolios and individual trusts using the lag term spread as the information variable. The conditional performance of the trusts is countercyclical and larger trusts have more countercyclical performance than smaller trusts within certain investment sectors. These patterns in conditional trust performance cannot be fully explained by the underlying securities that the trusts hold.

Garden City, KANSAS (April 10, 2015) - Tuesday, March 24th, started out just like any other day for mother of 2, Shona Banda. However, CEO of The Human Solution International (THSI), Joe Grumbine, was contacted in the late afternoon by Shona with the disturbing news that her 11-year-old child had been detained by authorities at school. This took place during a drug education class guided by school counselors and local police. Shona is a published author, who has been a cannabis activist for many years and is a very well-known inspirational figure within the medical cannabis 'movement'.
As Shona's son listened to the misinformation given by authorities to his class during the drug education presentation, he courageously spoke up and informed them that the information they were relating was incorrect in regards to cannabis. He was pulled from class and sent to the office for questioning by authorities without his mother present.
When he failed to return home from school, Banda contacted the school only to be told that her son had be detained by authorities. She went to the station, where she was informed that she was not being detained, but that they were obtaining a search warrant on her home and that she would not be permitted to enter the residence until the search was executed.
During the raid, authorities confiscated an alleged mere 2 ounces of cannabis flower and 1 ounce of cannabis oil. Banda has yet to be charged and was able to go home after the raid. Shona had a hearing, which seemed to be going her way until the judge spoke up about how many charges she was going to be facing as a result of the raid on her home. It was recommended that her son be placed into the custody of her ex, the boy's father. Luckily, he lives very close-by and she has not been denied visits with her son. Shona's next court date, is ironically schedule for 4/20. She has no idea what will ensue next as a result of her son's courageous words, but says, "they don't have a clue that I'm walking in with [my] head held high, proud of who I am and what I do."

About The Human Solution International: THSI is a grassroots federally recognized 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that includes over 50 chapters. THSI supports members of the community through the trials they face as cannabis consumers through court support, prison outreach, and education. Members believe that standing together in solidarity against this unfair treatment of civil rights will keep people out of prison for a plant which has been proven to hold many medicinal and health benefits.

Thank you in advance for your support of this courageous family!
Audra Roth commented 2015-04-15 02:48:09 -0700This nations "split" views, opinions, thoughts and feeling about cannabis is out of control! The department of Justice and the federal government need to be abolished or completely decriminalize cannabis to end prohibition. How many lives and or famines must destroyed before this nation wakes up? The war on drugs (Pot) is the most tragic war on American soil!
Olbuc's Homestead commented 2015-04-14 09:48:29 -0700This is one of the many reasons why we all have to make it known loud and clear in 2016 that we will not vote for anyone for any office unless they promise to put an end to the war on this plant and legalize it. I am telling all politicians I want vote at all, if you want my vote, stand up against this ignorance.
Terry Spradley commented 2015-04-14 09:36:19 -0700Unfortunately this is Kansas, the state that is just now relaxing the prohibition laws of 70+ yrs ago. We reelected Brownback, seriously we did, and some where over the rainbow there's a fake wizard to protect us from all the evils in the world. Like freedom of choice. I feel for you Shona, but I don't think we'll ever get Colorado to annex the western part of the state.
Don Watson commented 2015-04-13 22:02:45 -0700Shona you are going to persevere all this B S
It's humoring to know your son was well educated and lies should always be confronted, yet you have a lawsuit if they detained a minor without your agreeing. Or being present look into it✊🏻🍁 -
Jason Morgan commented 2015-04-13 13:32:55 -0700Fuck those stupid ignorant ass motherfucking cops over there that case will be thrown the fuck out and that lady should sue em including the school district.
Lisa Gresham-Gordon commented 2015-04-12 07:50:30 -0700Shona it's all coming down right now hard. Keep you chin up, your kids safe. Yes even L.E. is having to decide for themselves and they are. You are watching the good cops police the bad cops right now. We all know there has to be law. They are going to have to sort their apples and it's happening. Yes Big Pharma is very concerned. Pushing legislature to protect their interest everywhere. Shona our hearts and prayers are with you it is happening in many places.
Ronny Jimbob commented 2015-04-11 15:57:28 -0700This is how the Zionist Lobby groups work in America. They have a lot invested in keeping people sick with BIG FOOD. They want to keep you sick with BIG PHARMA, another investment. And THEY LOBBY ! AIPAC LOBBIES ! ADL LOBBIES ! They care not for Americans, but for War, Profits, Crime, and a Fascist Government of Two Fascist Parties. The United States, Canada and the Ukraine voted for the Glorification of Nazism thinking that they can control the world through the extremism of State Sponsored Terrorism, Banking and Corporations. They care not if marijuana cures, but only that they can profit through laundering illegal drugs into the country. And then they put up this façade that the law is against marijuana, an evil drug. Yet they allow chemical companies to provide chemicals for crystal meth, importation of Cocaine through the Mexican cartels and CIA, Heroin imports from Mexico, Africa and Afghanistan. Do not be fooled, Marijuana has been found to cure many ailments. Satan and the wolves are alive and well in the world, but God will prevail. Each human must ask where they stand on the side of good or evil INCLUDING JUDGES and LAW ENFORCEMENT !
Sharon Rose commented 2015-04-11 14:02:47 -0700This is so sick, our govt is sick.While many states are slowly legalizing cannibis so less people will be unjustly and unnesecesarily incarcerated, this state locks up a little boy and uses his knowledge of canmibis as some illegal excuse for probable cause. Then they take the child away, for what. This is supposed to be one USA, then why are there different laws in different states. This kind of action is exactly what our government does when they don't like someone. Are the people doing this educated. Are they so sadistic they continue to pretend Marijuana is not a scientifically proven benefit to millions. What in God's name is wrong with our backwards ass laws and judicial employees.This young lady needs to sue the local police department for detaining her son and harassing him, questioning him without a lawyer, for libel against his and her character, for emotional damage, for entrapment, for violating the boys right to free speech.
Cree Gonzalez commented 2015-04-11 10:03:54 -0700Shana welcomes anyone to go to the court. It's as said 4/20 ay 8:30am
Jer Collins commented 2015-04-11 06:00:21 -0700This is both tragic and inspiring. Tragic that we are living the Orwellian nightmare. Inspiring in that there are people who still step out of the box and break the mold. Cheers to those who do the right thing while knowing they will suffer for their convictions. You are hero's in this game. Just remember they dont play fair and you must stay resilient. Keep that head held high forever Shona and son!
Dana Wilson commented 2015-04-11 05:06:42 -0700So, because a well-informed child stands up against spreading misinformation and propaganda, that's cause for a search warrant? Bye bye, Probable Cause; Hello, Fascism.
