Prior to the spring game, Delaware will host Fandemonium V in front of Delaware Stadium. This annual event includes food, prizes, and entertainment for families and UD fans of all ages beginning at 10 a.m.
For the second year in a row, the Blue Hens will take to the road to hold their practice on Saturday, Apr. 26 at Milford (Del.) High School. Fans are invited to come out for a day of free fun, football, and giveaways beginning at 10 a.m. Concessions and merchandise will be sold and tailgating (no alcohol permitted per school district policy) will be encouraged.
Weekday afternoon practices begin at approximately 4 p.m. with Saturday practices set for approximately 10 a.m. Fans who wish to attend practice sessions at the UD Football Practice Complex should verify times, dates, and locations with the UD Football Office at 302-831-2949 before arriving.
Delaware's spring practice schedule is as follows: April 8; April 10; April 11; April 12; April 15; April 17; April 19; April 22; April 24; April 25; April 26 (12 noon at Milford High School); April 29; May 1; May 2; May 3 (Blue-White Spring Game, 12 noon, Delaware Stadium.).
Delaware, which went 7-5 last season under Brock and tied for fifth place in the Colonial Athletic Standings with a 4-4 mark, returns 17 players with starting experience.
"We are really excited to get back out on the practice fields and see the 2014 team begin to take shape," said Brock. "Spring practice is a great time for player development and working on fundamentals and we have a lot of work to do as we continue to rebuild the Blue Hen football program."
Highlighting the returning players on offense are quarterback Trent Hurley, All-CAA wide receiver Michael Johnson, All-CAA tight end Nick Boyle, tight end Ryan Cobb, wide receiver Jerel Harrison, and offensive linemen JD Dzurko and Ben Curtis. Delaware's offense ranked among the league leaders in 2013 when the Hens put up an average of 32.8 points per game and averaged 177 yards rushing and 240 yards passing per contest.
Hurley ranked among the CAA leaders last season when he threw for 2,207 yards and 22 touchdowns while Johnson caught a team-leading 60 passes for 1,035 yards and nine touchdowns, Boyle hauled in 42 passes for 474 yards and seven touchdowns, and Harrison collected 36 passes for 350 yards and a touchdown. Johnson ranked among the national leaders in all-purpose yardage and also averaged 20.9 yards on kickoff returns.
Defensively, the Blue Hens return 10 players with starting experience led by defensive linemen Laith Wallschleger, Derrick Saulsberry, and Vince Hollerman, linebackers David Mackall, Pat Callaway, and Kennedy Ogbonna, and defensive backs Jake Giusti, Mario Rowson, Craig Brodsky, and Jordan Thomas. In addition, All-CAA punter Eric Enderson returns to lead the special teams unit after earning freshman All-American honors a year ago when he led the CAA and ranked third nationally in punting average (45.0 yards per punt).
Callaway earned All-CAA honors a year ago when he led the team and ranked No. 2 in the CAA in tackles (10.0 per game). Rowson (75 tackles) and Mackall (74 tackles) ranked second and third on the team in tackles, Craig Brodsky was second in interceptions (three), and Saulsberry led the squad in sacks (eight) and tackles for loss (14).

I have not bought a Glock so I may not be able to answer all your questions about the 19 but in regard to the 15 round magazine, that is a state thing. California for example, limits magazines to 10 rounds. If they are selling 15 round mags in a legit gun store in your area then I would assume they are legal in your state.
I would wait until you've taken the course, and perhaps have rented some guns at your range before making a purchase. Basically all the guns you mentioned are quality firearms so it comes down to personal preference for certain features, how the gun feels to you and how well you shoot it. You already have a fairly clear idea of what you are using the gun for. As for the Glock 19 I would say it serves the purposes of HD, range tool, and occasional carry weapon.
Good luck and welcome to the forum!

California's drought deepens, threatens water reserves
GRN Reports
The US Drought Monitor for July 29 shows that the historic California drought has engulfed nearly the entire state, extending across parts of Northern California that had not been as greatly affected.
The intractable drought is expected to cost the state more than $1 billion in agricultural losses.
Reservoirs across the state are averaging about 60 percent of the conservation level, and while that's not as low as they went in the 1970s when California suffered a similar dry period, the state's population, 38 million, has nearly doubled since then.
Here's what the drought looked like three months ago, at the end of April.
A study released in July by the UC Davis Center for Watershed Sciences estimated that the total loss to California's economy from what is being called the state's third worst drought would cost the state economy $2.2 billion.
"California's agricultural economy overall is doing remarkably well, thanks mostly to groundwater reserves," said Jay Lund, a co-author of the study and director of the university's Center for Watershed Sciences. "But we expect substantial local and regional economic and employment impacts. We need to treat that groundwater well so it will be there for future droughts."
The study predicted that if the drought continued, and farmers continued to draw on groundwater reserves, some wells in California's vast agricultural Central Valley could go dry.
Other key findings of the study:
- Direct costs to agriculture total $1.5 billion (revenue losses of $1 billion and $0.5 billion in additional pumping costs). This net revenue loss is about 3 percent of the state's total agricultural value.
- The loss of 17,100 seasonal and part-time jobs related to agriculture represents 3.8 percent of farm unemployment.
- 428,000 acres, or 5 percent, of irrigated cropland is going out of production in the Central Valley, Central Coast and Southern California due to the drought.
- The Central Valley is hardest hit, particularly the Tulare Basin, with projected losses of $800 million in crop revenue and $447 million in additional well-pumping costs.
- Overdraft of groundwater is expected to cause additional wells in the Tulare Basin to run dry if the drought continues.
- Agriculture on the Central Coast and in Southern California will be less affected by this year's drought, with about 19,150 acres fallowed, $10 million in lost crop revenue and $6.3 million in additional pumping costs.
- Statewide dairy and livestock losses from reduced pasture and higher hay and silage costs represent $203 million in revenue losses.
- The drought is likely to continue through 2015, regardless of El Niño conditions.
Consumer food prices will be largely unaffected, according to the UC Davis study, because higher prices at the grocery store of high-value California crops like nuts, wine grapes and dairy foods are driven more by market demand than by the drought.

So I've had this problem for about 3 months now. I keep getting disconnected from games such as "Vindictus, Flyff, S4 league" and others. This happens pretty randomly but a lot. Sometimes I dc in between 1 hour - 3 hours and sometimes I DC twice within a minute. Why did I come here ? In hopes of someone knowing what could possibly be causing this and I'll give as much info as possible.
So obiously the first thing I did was call the Internet Service Provider (I live in Sweden if that info even matters) and told them what was happening I also told them that I don't disconnect when I'm connected straight through the wall instead of the router so I thought the issue was the router, wrong. They sent me a new router and I still have the same problem. So if it's not the router why is it fine directly through the wall ? If it's my PC why is it fine through the wall. It's not the cables because I've tried 6 different ones and even if it was the cables then why would it work through the wall ?
So I only have one thing yet to try and that's testing my mom's laptop for a whole day and see if it's actually my internet and not just me. But I'm going to do that on Saturday and if I still have the same problem I honestly don't know what to do anymore I'll probably just smash my head on the wall or something.
Appreciate any help I can get.

Faculty/Staff Homecoming King and Queen
Photo submitted by Larry Isch on 2/13/2006.
The University of the Ozarks raised $745 for the Johnson County Senior Activity Center's Meals on Wheels program recently with its faculty and staff homecoming king and queen competition. The university campus community paid 10 cents a vote in the annual fund-raising event, which is sponsored by the university's Student Life Office. Director of Athletics Dave DeHart (right) received the most votes for king and Jones Learning Center Director Julia Frost (left) led the voting for queen. Representing the Johnson County Senior Activity Center at the check presentation on Feb. 9 were (from left) site council members Dorothy White, Thelma Clark and Leslie Arno and Senior Center site director Ruby Frazier.

I've made a slight adjustment to the Competition and Photo of the Week Galleries.
Originally all voting and comments were disabled after the contests had ended, so that they remained as they were throughout the contest.
I've now decided to enable these features after the winners have been decided. This allows you to comment about the contest photos and congratulate the winners

just one thought, can you post those after-contest comments in another colour? i don't known how hard is this to code/do! (because of that i don't even comment the views/votes after the contest) what a silly thought
ps: i think its a good idea to enable it again (even if no one asks me )

I'm having better luck with the AJ trap this year. It only works in hives where the bees want to corral the beetles. Some bees just care less about trying to corral the critters. It is not mentioned anywhere when you buy the traps --- but AJ suggest you cover the traps with a piece of linoleum etc. My thoughts are --this seems to give the beetles a place to try and hide from the bees and therefore draws them toward the trap. I have not been impressed with the Hood Traps at all. They do not retain their shap and begin to trap bees.I would often find traps full of bees, so I discontinued their use.I have tried to stay away from west traps so far because of size and cost.
We found that, if you keep your entrance only as large as needed the guard bees will be able to guard the entrance and kill the SHB no matter how strong or week the hive. Don't let them in to start with.
Well,I have mentioned it in several post but always ignored. I think some people think it is cheating or prefer to watch hives struggle in an effort to come up with more organic treatments. My bees were in big trouble, I was not taking any honey and resorted to more extreme methods.ROACH KILLER! I got it in the paste form. It comes in a tube. I put it in a CD box and made some traps out of plastic corrugated board. Just slit the pieces half way through, apply roach killer and tape it back up. The beetles can get into the little holes but not the bees. The CD case works the same way.3 days and complete victory. I have not seen a beetle in 3 weeks. If I do I will just freshen up the traps.

Translations was written and first performed in 1980 to launch the Field Day Theater Company, an artistic collaboration between Friel and Actor Stephen Rea. The company rehearsed and premiered the play in Derry with the hope of establishing a major theatre company for Northern Ireland that would create a space that transcended the violent oppositions of Irish politics and unify, if only for a short time, the various factions of a divided community. The play was an enormous popular and critical success.
Translations examines the relationship of language to identity, memory, history, and community. It is a statement, albeit an ambiguous one, about colonialism, and about the problematic and complex spectrum of choices the colonized faces between resistance and acquiescence.

Carter writes about the genesis of the Paltrow article – how in an editorial meeting, they were all talking about her polarising image, so he spent an hour on GOOP and decided it was worth a story and assigned Vanessa Grigoriadis to it and then G found out and told her friends not to talk to the magazine and it all blew up.

For Jean-Claude Van Damme, comeback is sweet
Stallone vs. Van Damme. It's a testosterone-fueled matchup that action-movie fans have been dreaming about since the 1980s and early '90s when both actors were in their heyday, and now fans get to see it in The Expendables 2.
However, for Jean-Claude Van Damme, 51, it's part of a Hollywood comeback after bouts with drugs and bipolar disorder, and something truly special for the "Muscles from Brussels" to share screen time with Sylvester Stallone, Chuck Norris and Arnold Schwarzenegger, whose movies a younger Van Damme would watch on Sundays with his father at the local Belgian cinema.
"It's like a dream come true," Van Damme says. "I never thought in my life I would even be with two of those guys."

The dream continued this weekend as the action flick took in an estimated $28.8 million to finish No. 1.
Van Damme mostly played a good guy after moving from martial arts and bodybuilding to starring in Bloodsport, Cyborg and Kickboxer in the '80s. However, in Expendables 2 he plays the evil Jean Vilain, a man in control of a plutonium mine who is willing to give it up to the highest bidder.
Stallone had wanted to cast Van Damme in the first Expendables in 2010, but the Belgian actor was working on directing his own film. He got him for the second go-round, though, and felt the semi-autobiographical JCVD movie in 2008 showed Van Damme had a certain gravitas as well as the charm of old.
"There's just guys who have or are born with it. He's had it," Stallone says. "He's had his ups and downs, and when you've had that start, all you have to do is reignite it."

Van Damme still has the great moves, too. In the climactic fight of different styles between Vilain and Stallone's Barney Ross — "He wanted to be George Foreman, and he wanted me to be a Muhammad Ali," Van Damme says — he insisted to an initially skeptical director Simon West and stuntmen that he could do the same 360-degree kick he did in Bloodsport 25 years ago.
Van Damme surprised them and himself as well — even with 22 pounds of Stallone-approved extra muscle.
"I was like, 'Whoa. This is cool!' They took their time to put two or three cameras on me so they can show my kick in different angles. They can make it 720," Van Damme says with a laugh.
"When you see those 360 kicks in the air on the big screen, you can see all those veins bulging because the effort is real."

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
It has been a while since I put out a zine.
Excuse List: School, work, winter, netflix video marathons of complete TV show series runs (I say just one more show and before I know it, it is like 3 am and I watched 6 shows in a row.)
I have decided that this will not do.
So I am creating "The Zine a Month Challenge."
The rules of this challenge are simple.
Create and hold in your hand one completed copy of your zine by the end of each month.
You can do this for the entire year or select how many months you want.
Start date is April 1
To join, post a pictures or announcement when you have finished your zine in this discussion
Good Luck
Views: 65
I am six pages into my new comic zine, and I figure I am on pace to finish it by the end of April.
It is a simple comic style zine about Iron Man and Batman.
The story starts with Batman and Iron Man hitch hiking out of Michigan after the recently elected, Gov. Snyder of Michigan slashes the Michigan Film Incentive causing both the New big budget Batman and the Avengers movies to not be filmed in Detroit like they were scheduled.
(That part about losing these two films to others cities is true...F*ing Snyder)
After some delay, they finally get picked up and find themselves living and working on an Amish farm in Ohio.
That is all I can say for now.
Oh yah...I forgot to mention
You do not have to create an entirely new zine a month to complete the challenge.
You can finish a zine that you have already started to use as your monthly finished zine allotment.
The idea here is to provide a little push to finish our zines.
Here is a little true story.
Year ago, I was obsessed with writing stand up comedy. I had a mountain of material, which only overwhelmed me. Nothing was coming from it.
So one day I said screw it, and stuff all of my notes into several pairs of shoes and shoved them to the back of my closet. I am not sure why I stuffed all of that paper in my shoes, but that is what I did. Lets just say comics are kind of nuts and leave it at that.
I started fresh without the burden of my sea of notes. It felt good and I ended up coming up with some usable material.
Maybe, the first zine for the Zine a Month Challenge can be a chance to start fresh and then go back to weed through the other stuff to find the gems amongst the clutter.
raequel aka systris said:
i sooo want to do this..but i know in my heart...i will FAIL miserably. but i could attempt to do it! - yes, attempt to do it..and that way it'll be cheaper to produce a bunch of smaller zines than say..one huge zine of all the crap that youve compiled in your brain and on your hard drive and shit and..oh wait thats just me...the hell wit it...i'm in. until i give up...either way...yep i'm down!
Here is a little true story.
[[snipped ]]
OK gang,
It is April 1st. Today is the kick off.
That gives us all 31 days to get our Zine a Month, zine out.
That is less than say 1 page a day depending on the length of your zine, but I don't judge ziners by the length/size or girth of their um...zine)
Good Luck

"Very easy to navigate website and create this beautiful quality card. Many recipients commented on how beautiful the card was and a stunning tribute to my mother. Prompt delivery as promised and packaged to protect."
"I had this card created as an invitation to a Celebration of Life luncheon for my aunt. She wanted to say her last "I love you & thank you" to all her family and friends. When she saw the card she just melted in happy tears."
"I used this card to thank my dog's vets, groomers, family and friends for being in his life. I wrote a special thank you message in the text area. I appreciated the multiple opportunities to edit the card and for the designer editing. I selected blue and rounded colors because they seemed to complement the pictures well. Everyone who received the card loved it! One vet even sent me a return card saying he had contributed to a dog-care organization in my dog's name!"
"The memorial card was easy to edit and adapt to our personal situation and was of great quality. Even though I ordered it near the holidays it was super fast and expedient and the service absolutely reliable, in contrast to many other things I ordered around the holidays. I will recommend tinyprints to friends and I will most definitely be using it again."
"When my father-in-law passed I was given the task of getting the memorial cards for the funeral. I immediately went to Costco's photo center and was redirected to Tiny Prints. All I can say is at a time of sorrow, creating this memorial card brought me joy. To be able to created this memory for family and friends was priceless. The quality of this product was absolutely amazing. You will be very satisfied with this product. My family and friends cherished this gift. Also, they offered 2day shipping and the product was there when expected another plus! Thank you for all your help."

Heehe... it looks like the rejectinator accidentally hit the ' key when going for the enter key. If the whole text is selected when you do that it'll erase the text and replace it with an apostrophe. I've been clumsy enough to do that, unfortunately.
If I had to guess what the actual rejection was, I'd say it would be "off topic." It could probably be corrected by making it: "I'll wear what I wan1, Mom!"
So cute!!

And I knew about the seahorse thing a long time ago... back when I wanted to be a marine biologist while living in RI. Kinda hard to study that out here in the middle of Wisconsin though.
That's right, JadenKale--we're an awesome jellyfish trifecta! Best of luck to you and your design, by the way!!
Leave it to the woot community to ban a perfectly good shirt...
Re: Story Time
deliciously cute and twisted at once. Sokowa, you have a wonderful gift for designing things I want. thank you!
I'd get one for everyone on the housekeeping staff here at work. They'd love it.
klswoot wrote:Last one for this derby. Didn't finish in time for the Friday opening bell.
This design was inspired by the lyrics "Lady Madonna, baby at the breast ..."from the Beatles Song "Lady Madonna" and by John Collier's famous painting "Lady Godiva" c. 1897. I thought the combination of the two "ladies" made for a nice, compassionate design about the bond between a mother and her newborn.
Cool! I love it when I can recognize the art world inspiration for a design before the designer explains it to me. :-)
I really, really love this.
Re: Lady Madonna
another gorgeous design! Wow. I love the idea of the madonna inspiration without overt religious symbols, so those of us who are not religious can still enjoy the beauty of the design.
Re: world's greatest mom
please be nice, this is my first one
Re: Hell Hath No Fury
Love it. You GMV!
Re: My Mom Forgets Things
heh. I resemble the mom in this shirt! I go through the list of names (kids, cat, dogs) and finally end up with, "whichever child you are"
I teased my grandmother mercilessly about this when I was younger. Clearly, my karma came back to bite me.
Re: Message in the Sand
oh, it looks so much better using the brown for the shells - it was pretty before, but this has a little extra something. well done!
Re: Mama Bear
Looks just like my mom. Except for the big ears and chest hair. (I hope)
Re: Bless You
Should've drawn boogers.
shoulds re-sub w/out the text.
Re: Smokin' Hot Mom (resub)
love it even more without the words. she's awesome.
If you don't win, I'd check about cover art submissions for novels - I could totally see this on a mystery. (After the 60 days, of course)
Re: There was an old woman who lived in a shoe
Zenne, hope to see more of your artwork in future derbies! This is cute.
Re: Mum's the Word
another nice one, shan! I'm not usually a flower person, nor a big design person, but this is very well done. Nice choice of cream, too - the cranberry didn't pop as much.
Re: But I love them anyway
When I saw the design on the mainpage, it looked too chunky to me. I imagined the image was large and smack-dab in the middle of the shirt. But when I opened the thumbnail and saw the whole design and placement--Wow! It's chunky, yes, but so very delicate too! Beautiful and balanced design! GMV :-)
Re: Egg Baby Trauma
I keep coming back to this shirt. At first it didn't capture my interest, but now you've gmv. it's definitely twisted enough for me. I've got an inner vegetarian that is squicked out, but my outer dark humor wants it badly.
And, *phew* the kid with the anaphylactic egg allergy has gone home. I was getting twitchy about eggs while he was here overnight! Our own allergies are enough for me to handle, thanks!
I love, love LOVE this one!!
2thFairy wrote:Would you wear this as a shirt?? puh-leeaaassee!
Its used so at least no one will pee on it again.
Re: MAMAAA!!! (on olive)
Looks a little better on olive, but could still do without the text. Love the idea, and love those adorable lil' acorns.
Very imaginative and creative!
eHalcyon wrote:Not sure how you could eleganty cut off the wrist.
Yay cookies!
I thought they were potatos.
Very cute and appealing - was there a Tim Burton-ish inspiration for this one? I love his stuff, too.
kjmendoza wrote:I agree with previous poster that the design is too large on the shirt. Having said that, I think it's beautiful and evocative and the shading is fantastic. If you don't make it into the fog, you should definitely submit this design elsewhere.
Also, maybe only one color in the echo shadow instead of two.
Good luck
thank you very much =D. I will consider reworking the placement and colors slightly and resubbing if i have time (finals right now). Thank you for the suggestions!
suzyottomatic wrote:My reply to the last post, where it was suggested that the last jellyfish drag a doll. It was implied by my husband, that he would not be interested with that addition.
With a teddy, the design can tip into cute--and "cute" is good and has done well before with wooters. But without the teddy, the design remains more understated and subtle. And I've thought about it, considered resubmitting, but came to the realization that I'm more interested in the simple and subtle with this one. Thanks to jmseifer for the thought, though! :-)

(From Wikipedia):
Mitochondrial Eve (mt-mrca) is the name given by researchers to the woman who is defined as the matrilineal most recent common ancestor (MRCA) for all currently living humans. Passed down from mothers to offspring for over a hundred thousand years, her mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is now found in all living humans: every mtDNA in every living person is derived from hers.
Her "partner" was included to complete the concept.
Next time you synthesize ATP, be sure to give your mum a call and say "thanks".
mia3mom wrote:another nice one, shan! I'm not usually a flower person, nor a big design person, but this is very well done. Nice choice of cream, too - the cranberry didn't pop as much.
Thanks Same here, but my MOM actually suggested I do a "mum" shirt. I had a nice picture of one so I thought why not! I'm glad you said that about the cream, I've been having second thoughts but I really thought I'd wear the cream shirt more than the cranberry version.
Re: Mother and Child in Chairs
wow, kls, 2 in the top 10? congrats!
Wish I could buy this on a card for Mother's day. I'm glad it's getting voting love, at least!
Re: Mo-om... he's squishing me!
I dont like any of the shirts and I dont particularly like this one. However, due to my dislike of the shirts, I will use my vote for this one since breast cancer runs in my family. Best of luck.
Re: Lots of Hugs!
I've been trying to leave a comment for the last two days and have been getting a server error.
Graye wrote:Rejections are very sparse over the weekend.. hence many entries like this get added on sat/sun because they know it will probably stick around until Monday.
Friday afternoon and Monday are normally the big rejection days.
Since a lot of people think it's a joke, I wanted to respond. Don't throw your babies away. Just don't. I was lucky to get past the IUD my mom had in, and all of the adopted kids that get to live because their moms didn't throw them away, They're lucky too... So Vote for it damnit!~ G
Simple, pretty, suitable for wear around town, won't offend your mother or monster-in-law, quite a good design, I must say. Would look spiffy with matching pink shorts in summer. I like it!
Okay, appears to be working now. As I've been trying to say, another fantastic JadenKale design. GMV. As for Nessie, everytime I wear it, I get lots of compliemts. And the best part; people know it's the Loch Ness Monster. They don't mistake it for some random dinosaur. I would love to run into another Nessie wearer here in the Dallas area (the same suburb even as the "WOOT factory"). Hmmm, I wonder if Woot gives tours...
So far, on this derby the only ones I've voted for are this one and the Baby Carrots one. I'm not real thrilled with some of the designs, and I generally like the cutie patootie stuff.
Okay, let's all show JadenKale's jellyfish some love.
Love it, especially in liu of the shark attacks. Those sharks are mad!

Losing time, not buying time
To get a feel for the issues in play, we'll first take a look at methane vs CO2. This provides a clean example, because methane has a straightforward, well-characterized warming effect which is easy to compare with that of CO2. If you're just looking at the concentration of methane and CO2 at a given time, the methane/ CO2 equivalence is pretty easy to figure, since you can turn them both into the common currency of top-of-atmosphere radiative forcing. For example, doubling CO2 from 300 ppm to 600 ppm yields a clear-sky radiative forcing of 4.5 W/m2. Doubling methane from 1ppm to 2 ppm yields a radiative forcing of 0.8 W/m2, but since we started from such a low concentration of methane, it takes many fewer molecules of methane to double methane than to double CO2. Per molecule added, methane yields about 54 times as much radiative forcing as CO2. Note that most of this effect has nothing much to do with any special property of methane, but arises simply because the radiative forcing for most greenhouse gases is logarithmic in concentration, so you sort of get the same radiative forcing for everybody upon doubling their concentration — but if you start with somebody whose concentration is low, it takes many fewer molecules to double. That means that the CO2 equivalent of methane depends on what concentration you are starting with. If you started from a concentration of 10ppm, then the equivalence factor drops to 10. If you start out with equal amounts of methane and CO2 (300 ppm), then the equivalence factor drops further to 0.5. In that sense, methane is, intrinsically speaking, a worse greenhouse gas than CO2, though the crossover is at values that are so high they are only relevant (at most) to the Early Earth. ( I ran these calculations with the Python interface to the NCAR radiation model, provided in the Chapter 4 scripts of my book, Principles of Planetary Climate. They are done using an idealized clear-sky atmospheric profile, so the numbers are a bit different from what you'll find in the IPCC reports, but it's nice to have a calculation simple enough you can re-do it yourself.)
Things get a lot trickier when you try to bring time into the problem, because methane and CO2 have vastly different atmospheric lifetimes. Methane oxidizes to CO2 in about 10 years, and since we are dealing with so little methane, that extra ppm of CO2 you get after it oxidizes adds little ongoing warming. That means that the methane concentration in the atmosphere is determined by the methane emission rate averaged over the previous ten years, and the methane component of warming disappears quickly after emissions cease. In contrast, about half of CO2 emitted disappears into the ocean fairly quickly, while the other half stays in the atmosphere for thousands of years. Therefore, the atmospheric burden of CO2 in any given year is determined by the cumulative emissions going back to the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, and the warming persists for thousands of years after emissions cease. Over the long term, CO2 accumulates in the atmosphere, like mercury in the body of a fish, whereas methane does not. For this reason, it is the CO2 emissions, and the CO2 emissions alone, that determine the climate that humanity will need to live with for a time that stretches into the future at least as long as the time since the founding of the first Sumerian cities stretches into the past. The usual wimpy statement that CO2 stays in the air for "centuries" doesn't begin to convey the far-reaching consequences of the amount of CO2 we decide to pump out in the coming several decades.
As a reminder of that, here's a graph from the NRC Climate Stabilization Targets report (of which I was an author) summarizing how cumulative carbon emissions set the climate thermostat for the next 8000 years and more.

Hi, I am after a bit of advice regarding my young learners.
Last year I completed a very basic course with my 5 year olds. The course consisted of learning the alphabet and various vocabulary. There was no reading and writing involved.
This year the children should have moved on to the next stage in the course the first year if you like which is a lot more in depth. However the children in question have just started the first year in their regular school and are at the moment learning to read and write in their own language.
I have told the parents that I would like to wait a while until they grasp the basics of their own language first before moving on.
Now I am a little bit stuck as to what I should be doing with them, I don't want to repeat the same basic things we have learned and have a simple vocabulary lesson but I can't yet move onto the next stage.
Do you have any advice as to what I should be doing with them. Also I really prefer to have something in front of me to work from so any suggestions about printables or books I could use would be much appreciated.
Many thanks.

You can use SetOptions to change the default option settings
for any functions.
If you insert the following command (for example):
SetOptions[ ListPlot,
PlotJoined -> True, PlotRange -> All ]
in your init.m file it will be evaluated at the start of every

Note that you probably want to use a text editor such as notepad
and not the Mathematica front end.

Hi everybody. I´m preparing a student for the TOEIC exam and found this pearl that made me look bad. Please help.
56. Many people ______ that Diana Franklin wins the election tomorrow.
a. like
b. want
c. hope
d. expect
Well, obviously ´like´ is out of the question, ´hope´ would call for the subjunctive ´win´ therefore it is also a no go, what about ´expect´? Should it be treated like ´hope´? And, would ´want´ be ok, if not, why?
I´m puzzled. Thanks for any help.

On a beautiful day in August 1995, disaster struck a beloved landmark in Stuart, Iowa. An arsonist destroyed the historic All Saints Church, voted the Most Beautiful Church in Iowa by Des Moines Register readers.
Built in 1908, All Saints' Byzantine design resembled St. Mark's Cathedral in Venice, Italy. Inside, it featured hand-painted frescoes, Italian marble altars, and ornate stained glass windows.
Three copper domes topped the church's entrance. Hand-carved limestone walls conveyed strength and permanence. Almost 90 years later, these walls were the only thing left standing.
Rising from the ashes
Almost immediately, local volunteers established the Project Restore Foundation to rebuild. After the congregation moved, the Foundation bought the building in 1999. It raised $4 million over several years, including grants, historic restoration funds, and a city bond referendum.
The Foundation asked Kirk Blunck, FAIA, principal in charge at HLKB Architecture, and structural engineer Jim Tometich, P.E., to survey the damage. Although the stone walls had been covered with rubber roofing material, more than a decade of exposure had taken a toll. Mud covered the floors and saplings grew inside the church's formerly ornate sanctuary.
Masonry and mortar tests confirmed that the walls were structurally sound, and the interior could be restored. Initially, general contractor Paul Koester's cost estimate included significant steel reinforcement and a new foundation. "The masonry's integrity was critical to the success of this project, and it saved a lot of money," says Blunck. This savings paid for a new copper dome.
Mike Caligiuri, a mason for more than 40 years and a restoration expert, was hired to bring the masonry back to life. He and a two-man crew worked, to restore the brick and stone, for 18 months. First, they cleared more than a foot of debris (and hundreds of bats) from the top of the walls.
While demolition took place inside, the masons tuck-pointed the limestone exterior. They rebuilt three of the towers and repaired window sills with stone from the original central dome.
Next, Caligiuri's team repaired the inside, where the fire and years of moisture had damaged the brick. The masons rebuilt eight structural points that had held the church's iron frame roof. They restored and repinned brick arches, and repaired the roofline to make the bolt areas secure enough to support a new roof.
Rediscovering beauty
To avoid damaging the church's interior brick and tile walls by cleaning them with chemicals or high-pressure water, Caligiuri says his team, "mostly used elbow grease and a thick brush." They tuck-pointed the walls with an "old style 5:1 sand mix" made from portland cement, lime, and fill sand to match the original mortar's color and texture. Where brick was laid near stone, they used a lighter lime mix to avoid staining.
Most of their hard work still shows, although that wasn't always the plan. "The idea of leaving the masonry exposed didn't initially fit with the glorious interior that parish members remembered," says Blunck.
The church's basement—now the Foundation Room—helped changed that attitude. Caligiuri's team cleaned and tuck-pointed the limestone foundation walls and used local quarry stone to fill a large hole that provided access for bulldozers during demolition. "The wall was a plastered mess before," Caligiuri recalls. "Since we were leaving the plaster off, we did the best we could with the original materials." Although the space looks much different now, the original materials are attracting favorable attention.
All Saints Church is now The Saints Center, a community and cultural center and home of The Learning Museum for Religious Tolerance, featuring permanent displays about the world's major religions.

Hello, I have a question about acquiring a TEFL certificate, and in my situation, what would be the best way to approach becoming certified.
I'm a 25-year-old English major currently attending a community college. I will be transferring in January of 2006 (possibly to NYU, Syracuse, or Binghamton, but I haven't made any concrete plans just yet). My question is, do most universities offer a TEFL course as an option, or this is something that would have to be obtained exclusively from a language school?
I would like to become certified as quickly as possible, so I can try and get a job abroad next summer teaching English. However, if most college and universities offer this as an option, it seems like a waste of money and time to become certified from an outside source. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The Canisius College baseball team extended its winning streak to nine games with a 7-6 win over Binghamton University in 11 innings at the Bearcats Sports Complex on Thursday afternoon. Canisius improves to 29-10 overall and 21-7 on the road this season.
Junior Jimmy Luppens was 3-for-6 with two RBI. Junior Ryan Coppinger was 2-for-6 with a run scored and a the game-winning RBI while sophomore Mike Krische scored two runs, including the game-winning run. Junior Jose Torralba went 2-for-4 with an RBI while sophomore Mike Booth was 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base.
Each team scored a run in the second inning, with the Griffs getting on the board first as sophomore Connor Panas reached on a one-out walk, stole second and moved to third on a single from Torralba. After Torralba moved to second on a wild pitch, Panas would eventually score on a fielding error on a ball hit by Booth. Binghamton tied the game with a solo homer in the third, and the Griffs kept the game tied in the fourth on a home-run-robbing catch from Coppinger.
The first four Canisius batters reached in the top of the fifth as the Griffs scored five runs. Booth led off with a single, Krische was hit by a pitch and an infield single from Coppinger loaded the bases. Luppens scored two runs with a single up the middle, his third hit in his first three at-bats. Later in the inning, a two-RBI, pinch-hit double from freshman Brett Siddall and a two-out, RBI single from Torralba put the Griffs up 6-1.
Binghamton (20-15) would rally late in the game scoring single runs in the sixth and seventh innings before tying the game in the ninth. A two-RBI, bases-loaded double from Jake Thomas cut the Canisius lead to 6-5 and put runners at second and third with one out in the bottom of the ninth. After junior Jon Fitzsimmons got a strikeout for the second out of the inning, a wild pitch on an intentional walk allowed the tying run to score.
Each team got a base runner in the 10th but failed to convert. The Griffs had the leadoff batter reach for the second time in extra innings when Krische led off the 11th with a double. Coppinger followed with a triple to center to put the Griffs up by one.
Senior Scott Whitehead (1-0) threw two scoreless innings of relief to pick up the win. Binghamton had the tying run on second base in the 11th, but Whitehead got a line out to Panas at third to seal the victory.
Canisius returns home for a three-game series this weekend against Marist College. First pitch for Saturday's doubleheader is set for 2 p.m.
Notes: Canisius has won nine consecutive games for the third time in program history, also accomplishing the feat in 2008 and 1986… The nine-game winning streak is tied with Rhode Island for the second longest active streak in the country... Canisius and Binghamton met for the seventh time and for the first time since 2009. Canisius now leads the series 4-3… Fitzsimmons allowed an earned run for the first time this season (21 innings)… Freshman Anthony Massicci extended his hitting streak to 13 games… Canisius improved to 4-0 in extra innings this season and has now won its last four one-run games.

2011 Updates to model-data comparisons
Foster and Rahmstorf (2011) showed nicely that if you account for some of the obvious factors affecting the global mean temperature (such as El Niños/La Niñas, volcanoes etc.) there is a strong and continuing trend upwards. An update to that analysis using the latest data is available here – and shows the same continuing trend:
There will soon be a few variations on these results. Notably, we are still awaiting the update of the HadCRUT (HadCRUT4) product to incorporate the new HadSST3 dataset and the upcoming CRUTEM4 data which incorporates more high latitude data (Jones et al, 2012). These two changes will impact the 1940s-1950s temperatures, the earliest parts of the record, the last decade, and will likely affect the annual rankings (and yes, I know that this is not particularly significant, but people seem to care).
Ocean Heat Content
Figure 2 is the comparison of the ocean heat content (OHC) changes in the models compared to the latest data from NODC. As before, I don't have the post-2003 AR4 model output, so I have extrapolated the ensemble mean to 2012 (understanding that this is not ideal). New this year, are the OHC changes down to 2000m, as well as the usual top-700m record, which NODC has started to produce. For better comparisons, I have plotted the ocean model results from 0-750m and for the whole ocean. All curves are baselined to the period 1975-1989.
I've left off the data from the Lyman et al (2010) paper for clarity, but note that there is some structural uncertainty in the OHC observations. Similarly, different models have different changes, and the other GISS model from AR4 (GISS-EH) had slightly less heat uptake than the model shown here.
Update (May 2012): The figure has been corrected for an error in the model data scaling. The original image can still be seen here.
As can be seen the long term trends in the models match those in the data, but the short-term fluctuations are both noisy and imprecise . As an aside, there are a number of comparisons floating around using only the post 2003 data to compare to the models. These are often baselined in such a way as to exaggerate the model data discrepancy (basically by picking a near-maximum and then drawing the linear trend in the models from that peak). This falls into the common trap of assuming that short term trends are predictive of long-term trends – they just aren't (There is a nice explanation of the error here).
Summer sea ice changes
Sea ice changes this year were dramatic, with the Arctic September minimum reaching record (or near record) values (depending on the data product). Updating the Stroeve et al, 2007 analysis (courtesy of Marika Holland) using the NSIDC data we can see that the Arctic continues to melt faster than any of the AR4/CMIP3 models predicted.
This may not be true for the CMIP5 simulations – but we'll have a specific post on that another time.

Cooked up in a refinery where Platonic solids had turned into swirls of metal splaying off towers canting out towards a tilted landscape, the world of experimental architecture that Lebbeus Woods envisioned dug down into the abandoned tunnels of a still-divided Berlin subway system. There, figures whose task was to study the energies of the earth and the stars were making a new world of continual construction, sitting on cantilevered chairs and peering down vortices that Woods outlined with spare lines. Then they burst out of the ground onto Alexanderplatz, launching themselves into airborne pods that twirled around the Eiffel tower. Woods called it Anarchitecture: a place of anarchism and architecture, of both order under construction and falling apart, and of the continual drawing out of our human potential to create connections, collaborations, and knots of mental material.
Lebbeus Woods's official title for what he did was "experimental architecture," and I happily joined his Research Institute for Experimental Architecture in the early 1990s, eventually stealing the phrase to describe the generations of experimental architects—many of them influenced by Woods either directly or indirectly, who were interested in architecture as an experiment on and in the real world, rather than as a way to make buildings alone. On Tuesday, Lebbeus Woods passed away in New York.
Woods was no idealist. After his Aerial Paris series, he turned to Architecture and War, a series of drawings in which it was difficult to ascertain whether the discipline was one of destruction or reconstruction. Ruins and decay fascinated him as much as construction. Form he came to see as dangerous in and of itself, and he moved on to fields: cracked plates heaving up into hills and descending into dales at first, then cross-hatching and fields of undulations that became more and more abstract. They merged with his writing, a scrawl as unintelligible as his purpose remained not so much obtuse, as tentative, wanting always to hold the possibility of what architecture could imply in the balance.
What made his vision so compelling was his mastery of the drawing. An architect who became an illustrator who helped sell postmodern skyscrapers with his Prismacolor pyrotechnics, Woods, in the mid-1980s, became a revolutionary with the stroke of pencil, blowing up our preconception of what buildings or landscapes could be merely by drawing alternatives that were so evocative, so convincing, and so unnerving that they seemed possible.
Like all architects, he wanted to build, but more than that, he wanted to experiment. He was the great alchemist of architecture, transforming the most old fashioned modes of representation, the ruins of our industrial society, and the utopian dreams that are still architecture's subconscious, into golden, but rusty, visions of a future that might already exist, except that he had to draw it out.
He influenced many architects, as well as moviemakers and artists of all sorts. He is the hidden force behind some of the best work being made today, and I wish he could have lived to see more of it come to fruition. He was a great teacher, a preacher, and a holy fool. It seems fitting that he passed away in the middle of our lifetime's largest storm. I imagine him drawing it, channeling it, and refining it into architecture until his last breath and his last line.

Some intelligent forward thinking researchers over at Hitachi, Xanavi, and Nissan have collected some data on ecological green routing that claims a 9% fuel cost savings on a test route. This technology is still in its infancy, but this is a perfect example of where a car computer can be used to accelerate development and deployment of technology. Implementing ecorouting will require Intense processing on the client or cloud for the complicated routing algorithms that factor in all the newly available data points:
� Traffic & Flow speeds
� Elevation changes and altitude
� Road quality (smooth vs. rough)
� Wind (eventually)
The cloud or development computer can also be used to coach the driver into more efficient acceleration and braking techniques which a lot of hyper milers are already using.
Eventually I imagine this type of data would help local governments prioritize road resurfacings and traffic control timings to help their citizenry become greener.
It seems like one of the key pieces to making this work would be accurate elevation Data. The paper I mentioned above used 50m resolution data from the government. One of the key data providers for elevation data seems to be intermap with 5m horizontal resolution and +/1 1m vertical. Check out their comparison chart to NASA data.
