3/2/13: A post covering the 1 year anniversary and recovery effort can be found here...
------------------Now, back to the post that originated on 3/2/12:
3/17/12, 10am CST:
Melissa Rose's home in West Liberty was one of many destroyed by the tornado on March 2nd. An amazing story has now surfaced out of the tragedy, when the above picture of her niece and nephew was found 134 miles away in Sissonville, WV!
-One of the most popular questions that I am still receiving to date is "how can I help". This post on the herald-dispatch.com pulls that information together nicely and was updated yesterday.
-In a related story, the Red Cross is reporting that donations have reached about $1 million at the Louisville chapter, to date.
-A temporary Courthouse is open for business. The Morgan County office of the Circuit Court Clerk is open for business and providing full services out of a temporary location at 155 University Drive in West Liberty. One of the most popular services provided so far has been replacing lost driver's licenses. For information on court schedules and hearings you can call 606-743-3763.
-The West Liberty Elementary School is in need of a playground for their new (temporary) facility. School starts back next week. If you or someone you know would like to donate one, please contact principal Vickie Oldfield at firstname.lastname@example.com. You can see the full story here at Lex18.com.
3/14/12, 2pm CST:
I apologize for not posting an update for the last 2 days. I've been moving my office and trying to get things set up at the new location before the next major weather event takes place. Here are a few noteworthy items since my last post/update:
-Blog reader Estill sent me this link to the Lexington Herald-Leader, which has several different photo albums of the tornado aftermath and recovery in West Liberty and other areas.
-Dr. David Fugate of the West Liberty Vet Clinic and other area veterinarians are busy taking care of lost and injured pets. One amazing story of pet survival is that of "Twister" the horse, who was reportedly picked-up and dropped into the kitchen of his owner's home after the roof of was torn off. You can see the video on that story by going here.
-Now that the region has been declared a FEMA disaster area, residents and business owners who sustained losses can begin applying for assistance. Those who need assistance can register online at www.disasterassistance.gov, or by calling 1-800-621-3362.
-The Red Cross has now begun "one on one" case work in order to directly assist individuals and families in the West Liberty area. Case workers are available to meet with those in need of help and provide assistance with replacing household goods, paying for or providing food and water, assistance with the financial needs of repairing a home or paying an insurance deductible, etc.
The Red Cross has established a Client Assistance Center at Morgan Central Elementary School in West Liberty, where individuals can meet with a case worker. Case workers are also going door to door in neighborhoods where they can. If you need to speak to someone with the Red Cross and have not been contacted, please call 1-800-696-3873.
3/11/12, 10am CST:
A dramatic compilation of videos from security cameras as the tornado tore through the West Liberty area:
...and here is the link to a related story by LEX18 TV. Thanks to blog reader Scott for sending me the link!
In other news, please take a look at this story on recovering from a major tornado on Kentucky.com. I can't stress enough the point (about midway through the story) regarding choosing a contractor carefully - and never handing over money until the job is complete. Unfortunately, there are too many people out there willing to take advantage of this type of situation. This obviously applies to all of the areas stricken with tornado damage earlier in the month, not just the West Liberty area.
3/9/12, 5pm CST:
The West Liberty school district has announced that classes will resume on March 19th. The Elementary school, district headquarters and many vehicles were heavily damaged or destroyed. A vacant factory near the Elementary School is being converted into a temporary location where elementary classes can be held, as well as temporary housing for some of the district offices as well. The full story from the courier-journal can be found here.
Also, blog reader CindyRella Whitcomb of the West Liberty area was kind of enough to send me the following damage photos that she took. Please note the debris in the trees and in some cases wrapped around trees or poles:
Residents of West Liberty were being allowed back into most areas of town as of today, however the The Kentucky Department of Emergency Management cautions residents that many areas are still not safe due to debris, some of which could include potentially hazardous materials.
Vehicles wishing to enter the city are required to pass through a checkpoint, and must be able to show residency to be allowed in. Officials encourage folks to come in groups and car pool if possible, so as to limit the number of vehicles that can safely pass through heavily damaged areas.
Banks were also opening temporary locations today, allowing customers to withdraw up to $500.00 at one time:
-Commercial Bank has a temporary location at 151 University Drive. They also plan to open a 2nd temporary location near the IGA in Index tomorrow (Wednesday, 3/7/12).
-Citizens Bank customers can use branches located in Morehead, Owingsville and Sharpsburg.
-Bank of the Mountains customers can use their non-downtown location in West Liberty, as well as their location in Ezel.
3/6/12, 7pm CST:
-The American Red Cross announced this afternoon that the shelter at Morgan Elementary school has been relocated to the Assembly of Faith Church at 558 Highway 519 in West Liberty. This was effective 5pm CST this evening. Approximately 60 people are staying at this shelter until they can find another place to stay.
-One of our blog readers in the West Liberty area e-mailed me to say that folks wishing to donate supplies (canned food, water, pet food, etc.), as well as those that need to pick up those types of supplies can go to the Woodsbend Community Church. They also have limited space for anyone that needs a place to stay at night as well. She also sent me some additional damage photos that I will get up on the blog tomorrow (I'm in a place with a very slow internet connection this evening, and it would take forever for me to upload them).
-A community-wide fundraiser has also been set for Saturday, March 24th. It will take place at the Carl Perkins Center in Morehead, from Noon to dark. The event will feature a chili dinner, silent auction and live performers. All proceeds will go to benefit the victims of the West Liberty tornado. Anyone wishing to donate items for auction or volunteer to perform should contact Darcy Gillock at (606) 356-3510.
-In case you missed it (in other parts of the country) yesterday, snow fell across the West Liberty area on Sunday night and early Monday:
The snow was not heavy by any means, but it did not help crews that were already struggling to return power, water and gas service as quickly as possible. We've heard today (Tuesday, 3/6/12) that crews have made great progress during the last 24 hours, with some reports indicating that power has been restored to as many as 90 percent of the customers (that still have a structure with functioning electrical meters) in downtown West Liberty as of this afternoon. It will take awhile longer to restore power to more of the outlying areas depending on the extent of the damage, debris removal, etc.
3/6/12, 2pm CST:
The total path length of the West Liberty tornado has been extended to 95 miles, as a survey across the West Virginia border indicates a preliminary ending point to the Southwest of Charleston. It is possible that the ending point may be 10 to 15 miles further East/Northeast as well, and that possibility is still being surveyed.
3/5/12, 12:45pm CST:
Contractors are continuing to try and restore electrical and/or gas service to the downtown area. Kentucky State Police official report that once it is safe, they plan to loosen restrictions on folks coming into that part of town.
Also, the U.S. Postal Service says that they will attempt to deliver mail as normal in West Liberty this week. Mail for homes and/or businesses that are in a blocked-off part of town, and mail for locations that don't have a mailbox visible will be taken to the Campton Post Office where it can be picked-up by showing an I.D.
3/5/12, 7:50am CST:
Another video has emerged of the actual tornado itself. This video proves once again that even a terrain made up of large hills is no match for a strong tornado:
3/4/12, 3:50pm CST:
A new YouTube video has emerged, showing the "West Liberty tornado" near its beginning point (to the West) in Menifee County:
3/4/12, 3:25pm:
Some more interesting damage and tornado photos I've stumbled upon...
This is the house that Dayla McCarty was sheltered in during the tornado:
3/4/12, 2:55pm CST:
Now that communications are gradually coming back online and/or folks are being relocated to areas that have better communications, I'm told that the registry list on the Amercian Red Cross "Safe and Well" website is starting to grow.
If you have a family member or friend that you're wanting to check on, it's worth a try to see if they (or another immediate relative) have checked in via the "Safe and Well" list. The link (which is on the American Red Cross website) is here. You have to register yourself in order to view the registry list, but it only takes a minute or so.
If you live outside of Kentucky and want to help folks there or in one of the other tornado stricken areas, you may want to consider making a donation to the American Red Cross. Once you go to the donation link, you can specify where you'd like your funds to go.
3/4/12, 2:15pm CST:
Another video has emerged of the tornado itself (or at least the top of it). The video appears to have been taken in front of the Potter Funeral Home (329 Glenn Avenue in West Liberty):
3/4/12, 7am CST:
The NWS survey team from the Jackson, KY office has completed its survey on the West Liberty tornado, up to a point on the East side of West Liberty. Presumably today they will finish up with the Eastern end of the track, which is shown on the image above.
The survey estimates the beginning point took place about 2 miles Southwest of Mariba in Menifee County at approximately 5:39 PM EST. The path length, so far, amounts to 34 miles with a maximum width in the damage path of 1 mile.
As I mentioned yesterday evening, the preliminary NWS survey rating of the tornado is EF-3 intensity, and the survey cites "estimated peak winds of 140 mph". On the operational scale of EF-intensity, an EF-3 tornado is described as producing winds in the range of 136-165 mph.
3/3/12, 6:55 pm CST:
Depending on which national media source or local/state official you listen to, the death toll in West Liberty ranges from 1-5 at this hour. I am simply amazed, and very grateful. Although it is certainly a tragedy for the families and friends of those victims, if that really ends up being the final death toll, the city of West Liberty has much to be thankful for. By all accounts, this was a very large and strong tornado which caused some form of damage to almost every structure in town (if not every one indeed). I feared a death toll of 100+ when I saw and heard the first damage reports come in last night. Thank goodness that did not come to pass.
With that said, the folks in West Liberty have a long road ahead of them, recovery wise. We need to continue to keep this community, and their neighbors, in our thoughts and prayers.
On another note... the National Weather Service (NWS) in Jackson, TN has rated the West Liberty tornado EF-3 intensity. My e-mail inbox is flooded with requests for my feelings and/or commentary on that rating. I obviously wasn't there on the ground participating in the survey. With that said, I have seen several photos and video clips that suggest a higher rating was warranted. I intend to look over this material in greater detail over the next day or so before making any further comments on that subject.
3/3/12, 4:25 pm CST:
New aerial video of the West Liberty damage. Kind of shaky at times, but very revealing. I intend to take a closer look at this and the other aerial videos and images that I've posted today and make some commentary in the next day or so:
3/3/12, 4:15 pm CST:
The series of frames below show the radar imagery from the Jackson, KY radar site as the tornadic supercell responsible for producing the West Liberty tornado moved into the area. The images begin at 5:29 pm EST, and end at 6:10 pm EST and are in roughly 5 minute intervals.
I'll first run the sequence in order so you can see the progression without interruption. West Liberty is located near the center of each image (West Liberty and other city names noted in white lettering). Click on the images to enlarge:
I'll make a separate post later on with more detailed analysis of the radar imagery, including velocity (wind speed and direction) images.
3/3/12, 4pm CST:
Via Lex18, the Morgan County ARH Hospital in West Liberty sustained significant damage from the tornado yesterday. All second floor windows were blown out, there was extensive damage to the roof and exterior doors, and cars were flipped in the parking lot. No patients or staff were injured according to the report.
The emergency room of the hospital is reportedly treating patients at this time, but no one is being admitted. Inpatients are being transferred to other hospitals in neighboring areas.
3/3/12, 1:35pm CST:
Some very high resolution photos just posted on twitter (via @angelabeavin), show a closer view of a couple of the buildings that we posted photos of last night:
3/3/12, 12:35pm CST:
Aerial video (looks like it was taken by a smartphone) of National Guard flying in to West Liberty earlier today. The video link is here.
Next is a new YouTube video showing the damage coming into town near the hospital:
3/3/12, 12 Noon CST:
Following are very detailed photos of the damage, some of the most detailed we've seen yet, taken by Craig Dennis of West Liberty, KY. I won't comment on each one, but there are a few things I'd like to point out on some of them:
3/3/12, 11:15 am CST:
The following video was taken by Stephanie Fannin near Ezel, KY, which is aprpoximately 12 miles West of West Liberty. The video shows intense circulation very near them (they should have been in shelter, they were much too close):
3/3/12, 10:47am CST:
The National Weather Service (NWS) in Jackston, TN is conducting ground surveys of tornado damage across eastern Kentucky at this time. We hope to have more detailed survey information on the West Liberty tornado later today.
Below is a preliminary map (literally drawn by hand), indicating known tornado tracks that were reported by folks on the ground (in red) and estimated tornado tracks that were indicated by radar (in purple). County names are shown in black, outlines in grey (via NWS Jackson, TN):
3/3/12, 10:30am CST:
Another photo of the damage downtown:
3/3/12, 10am CST: Added a news video to the survivor portion of the post (scroll down to the dashed line breaks near the middle of the post). The person is not identified, but maybe someone will recognize her. A couple of ladies are also shown sitting in the back of an ambulance near the beginning of the video.
3/3/12, 8:10am CST:
Three YouTube videos of the damage in West Liberty by Frank Leppar. Kind of dark and shaky at times, but we are given some idea as to the destruction. You can also see some of the survivors walking around, hopefully someone you know:
Update at 3/3/12, 7am CST:
I'm not going to do a lot of narrative right off today, just trying to get photos and/or videos up as I can find them. I also won't post every update to facebook for roughly the next hour because I expect there to be too many. Just bookmark the blog post and refresh it every few minutes. If there is anything particularly noteworthy, I will post a facebook update.
Additional photos of the damage in the downtown area (via twitter @danmatics):
I don't typically do this, but there are so many folks concerned about their families and friends and communication is still so very limited that I have decided to start accumulating a list of names of people that I have seen interviewed by various media sources. In a nutshell, if I see that a citizen of West Liberty is specifically named in a news article, video, etc., I will list their name here so you know that they are okay.
I will keep adding to this list today as any new interviews come forward, so you'll want to scroll down to it from time to time after refreshing the blog post (I'll keep the dashed lines before and after this part of the post so that it can be seen easily). Please note: I will never publish the name of anyone who has passed away (and officials don't usually release their names anyway):
Martha Jo Hall - took shelter at home
Stacy and David Lemaster, 3 kids - took shelter at Giovanni's restaurant
Patsy and Zeke Hensley - took shelter at home in the basement
Faye Isaac - was at the Dollar Store, has a few minor scratches
Rusty Hutchison
Kayla Ratliff (her mother and uncle are also okay)
Darlene Young
Connie Bressler (and her husband)
Rev. Kenneth Jett and his wife - took shelter in Methodist Church basement
Kopana Terry
David Bailey (and his family)
Steve Burton (and his daughter)
Joyce Morris (and her 3 children)
Where appropriate, I'll also include any photos that show survivors, on the chance someone might be able to recognize a family member they're looking for. If any information is provided as to the exact location in town where the photo was taken, I will include it below the photo:
Some new statistics that have come in overnight:
-More than 30 emergency and disaster teams from across the region converged on West Liberty overnight and search/rescue operations have been ongoing
-State emergency management confirms 3 deaths and 75 injuries, however they caution that both will likely rise significantly with the light of day (as we have feared).
-The community remains locked down with only emergency/rescue crews being allowed in.
-The Red Cross has set up evacuation shelters at Morgan County High School and at Elliot County High School and Rowan County Middle School.
New damage photos courtesy courier-journal.com:
Damage video from WTVQ (note, you'll have to pause the video after the West Liberty story airs because it automatically flows into another unrelated story afterward):
***Update 11:30 pm CST: Not really an update, but wanted to emphasize what someone posted in comments a few minutes ago. I also pointed this out earlier, but it may have been lost in the shuffle as a lot of info. flowed in earlier this evening in a short period of time...
If you are trying to reach a loved one in the West Liberty area by cellphone, please text them rather than calling them. There is very limited bandwidth available in the area right now, and emergency crews need every bit they can get to aid with search and rescue operations, etc.
A mobile communications unit is on the way to the area, which should hopefully improve the situation (communications-wise) by morning.
I know a very long night is ahead for many of you. "Not knowing" is one of the worst feelings in the world. Our thoughts and prayers are certainly with you and your family members... and we certainly hope and pray for a positive outcome with the light of day Saturday...
***Update 10:45 pm CST: Unfortunately, we're seeing very little new information coming out now that the 11pm EST news cycle has ended. As I pointed out in the comments section a few minutes ago, it will probably not be until the light of day that we really get a truly fresh dose of information...
To recap some of the latest news: the Kentucky Department of Emergency Management is sending several crews as well as a mobile communication center to the area.
There are 3 churches in the Grayson area that are providing shelter for the survivors that are without homes: 1st Baptist, Stinson Church of Christ and 1st Church of Christ. They were asking for air mattresses, pillows and blankets earlier this evening.
The Red Cross is dispatching teams to the area to assist both survivors and rescue workers tonight.
Readers with connections in the area have commented that the hospital is damaged, but we don't know to what extent, and the correctional facility was not damaged. We still don't have word on the nursing home.
I will continue to monitor the feeds and wires for awhile longer, but I wouldn't expect updates to be as frequent since the flow has slown down quite a bit over the last half hour. The emergency crews are doing their jobs now, and we need to keep them and the folks they're trying to rescue in our thoughts and prayers tonight for sure.
If we don't have anything significant to report tonight, or if you're turning in for the night, be sure to check back tomorrow for even more information. I'd also love to hear from those of you that are trying to reach your family once you get ahold of them.
***Update 10:10 pm CST: Another photo of unknown buildings downtown with damage:
***Update 9:55 pm CST: Another damage photo from downtown (twitter, via @boofcombs):
I'm also hearing that there was damage (unknown extent) to the hospital. Lots of folks are asking about the nursing home, but I have not seen or heard of a report from there as of yet...
The Kentucky Department of Emergency Management is sending a mobile communications center there right now, which should vastly improve the flow of information into and out of the city.
***Update 9:43 pm CST: Another photo of the tornado itself:
***Update 9:35 pm CST: Commercial Bank in West Liberty:
***Update 9:25 pm CST: Another photo of downtown West Liberty:
***Update 9:20 pm CST: I don't normally post videos of people shooting their TV screen, but we have so many folks wondering about damage in West Liberty I want to get the info. out. Hopefully we'll have more/clearer video soon...
***Update 9:05 pm CST: Trying to determine the name of the street (most likely Main St), but this appears to be downtown West Liberty (via @joshmgood on twitter):
A blog reader commented on Facebook that the above photo is at the intersection of Court and Main St.
***Update 8:55 pm CST: This photo of a damaged building in West Liberty was just posted on twitter (via @kristenmkennedy). This looks like a church to me. Several readers familiar with the area have identified it as the Methodist Church. (An earlier google image search apparently identified it incorrectly as the West Liberty Christian Church, which was almost completely leveled - see photo toward the top of the post from update at 12 Noon CST on 3/3/12).
***Update 8:50 pm CST: Please watch the "comments" at the end of the post as well. If folks ask a question that I'm able to answer, I will do my best at getting the information out that way as well (unfortunately, there are still many more unanswered questions than answered ones at this point)...
***Update 8:40 pm CST: Survivor's from West Liberty are reportedly being directed to churches in Grayson for shelter. The churches are asking for air mattresses, blankets and pillows. The churches are: 1st Baptist, Stinson Church of Christ and 1st Church of Christ. If you live in this area and can safely get to those locations, your donations of those supplies would be appreciated.
***Update 8:10 pm CST: Kentucky office of Emergency Management confirms that the communications infrastructure is heavily damaged in the West Liberty area. They described the situation as "having lost all communication" with the city. If you are trying to reach a loved one there, please try texting them instead of a voice call. Emergency workers need what little bandwidth is available for voice calls right now...
***Update 7:50 pm CST: From the Kentucky DOT, US 460 and KY 7 in West Liberty are closed until further notice. The governor's office is reporting that 5 people have been killed and an unknown number have been injured, however there are still believed to be folks missing and/or trapped. The Kentucky National Guard has been called in to assist with the recovery and security efforts.
***Update, 7:20 pm CST: A short, but very impressive video was just posted via twitter. It was reportedly taken in West Liberty, KY. A quick google search indicates that the McDonald's (in the foreground) in West Liberty is located at 1640 West Main Street:
***Update, 7pm CST: Unfortunately we're still not seeing any photos or videos out of West Liberty. All we're hearing (from various media reports, emergency scanners, etc.) is that there is widespread, significant damage throughout the town, including the court house being either severely damaged or completely destroyed. No definitive word on casualties at this time.
-------------------------------------Original post:
National weather service and local officials are reporting "numerous fatalities and injuries" from a tornado in West Liberty, KY a short while ago.
It is no wonder when a storm with a radar signature like this one moved through around 5pm CST:

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Terrorist forces presumably operating out of the Sinai Peninsula fired two GRAD-type missiles at the southern Israel town of Eilat on Wednesday night.
Both missiles landed in open areas outside of Eilat and did not cause any injuries or damage, but did result in a degree of panic in the bustling Red Sea resort.
The missiles rocked Eilat just as popular Israeli singer Eyal Golan was beginning a beach-front concert for 4,000 fans. Police officers quickly got on stage and told the crowed to evacuate the premises.
The little known Salafi Front in Sinai claimed responsibility for the attack, as well as for a string of assaults on the Egypt-Israel gas pipeline over the course of the past year.
The group urged Egyptian forces to halt their new crackdown on Sinai terror groups, insisting that they should all be focused on "the Zionist enemy."
Another Sinai-based Salafi group, the Army of Islam, threatened to launch a wave of suicide bombings in Cairo if government forces did not stop harassing the Islamist groups.
Salafi Muslims are seen as even more radical then their Sunni brothers, and Egypt's largest Salafi movement won a considerable number of seats in Egypt's recent parliamentary election, placing second only to the victorious Muslim Brotherhood.
There is mounting concern in Israel that the situation in Egypt will begin to mirror that in Gaza, where a larger terror groups holds the reins of political power, and ultimately does little or nothing to stop smaller, allied terror groups from attacking Israel.

Hendrick Medical Center
Hendrick was the first hospital to permanently serve the Texas Midwest when its doors opened in 1924. During the Great Depression, it was the first hospital people of the Big Country area rallied behind to keep the doors open when money was scarce. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hendrick, for whom the institution was named, made the first major financial gift to the hospital. Through the years it has been the first in the area to offer specialized services, creating departments to fill needs such as physical medicine, nuclear medicine, spiritual care and much more.
Hendrick has been the first to offer aggressive, innovative treatments and preventive healthcare measures ranging from services such as cancer screenings and pre-natal education courses to electro-physiology procedures and pediatric intensive care. Providing the strength of a complete system of health services available in their own backyards, most of the citizens of Abilene and the 22 counties that surround it look to Hendrick as their first choice for healthcare. In fact, research shows 64 percent of area residents prefer Hendrick for their healthcare needs.
Hendrick is an institution where people can feel a strong sense of belonging – an advanced medical provider the people of the Texas Midwest can call their own. Hendrick Medical Center is one of seven healthcare institutions affiliated with the Baptist General Convention of Texas. As part of Hendrick Medical Center, the hospital is licensed for 522 beds. About 2,600 staff members create the Hendrick Medical Center team of employees. And people of all ages and races, men and women receive precision care at Hendrick every day, regardless of the way they are able to pay.Texas

Published January 13, 2015
The Buffalo Bills have named Doug Whaley their new general manager.
Whaley, the Bills' assistant general manager since February 2010, will take over for Buddy Nix, who stepped down on Monday and decided to remain with the organization as a special assistant.
"Doug has been involved in every level of player personnel throughout his career and he will lead our efforts in re-establishing a winning tradition for this organization and our great fans," said Bills president and CEO Russ Brandon. "Doug is a passionate and committed leader who will work tirelessly with his department to build a team our fans and all of Western New York will be proud of heading into the future."
Whaley spent 11 seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, including his last 10 as the team's pro scouting coordinator, before joining the Bills. He was also a scout for the Seattle Seahawks for three years.
The Bills also named Jim Monos director of player personnel and Kelvin Fisher director of college scouting.

Watch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Season the salmon with 1/4 teaspoon salt, place in a baking dish and roast until cooked through, about 18 minutes.
While the salmon is cooking prepare the sauce. Cut 1 of the grapefruits into sections by cutting off the top and bottom of the fruit, then standing it on 1 end, cut down the skin to remove the pith and peel. Then, with a paring knife, remove each segment of fruit from its casing and cut the segments in half. Set the segment pieces aside. Juice the other grapefruit and set the juice aside.
In a medium skillet, heat the oil over a medium heat. Add the shallot and saute until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the ginger, grapefruit juice, honey, and cayenne pepper and bring to simmer. Cook until sauce is reduced by about half about, 10 minutes. Add lemon juice and season with salt, to taste. Right before serving, toss the grapefruit pieces and basil into the sauce. Put the salmon onto a serving dish. Spoon sauce over the salmon and serve.

We haven't observed this, but we do follow a few basic rules: 1) 2.6 kernels are better than 2.4 kernels at NUMA 2) Set your bios to have "node interleave off", to improve scaling at the potential cost of less uniformity. 3) Programs that use a lot of memory need to pre-run a program to touch a lot of memory; this pages out existing pages and lets the kernel balance everything as it comes back in. This is worth a few % even for serial SPECcpu runs, and is a must for multi-cpu things like SPECrate. 4) If you use more memory than is on 1 CPU with a single process, expect trouble. There's nothing really new here, you've had to do similar things on SGI machines, and big SMPs, for ages. Following these rules, we've gotten excellent repeatability and scaling on 2-cpu and 4-cpu boxes on a lot of codes, both MPI and OpenMP. -- greg

As the Senate takes up the House passed education bill, H.361, the goal in the legislation is to take small steps toward progress, allow for local control and not threaten schools or communities with repercussions that cause undue hardship. The legislation does this, ironically, by being purposely imprecise. But it's that imprecision that critics have attacked.
The Vermont Public Health Association is greatly concerned about gun violence death and disability and its profound and lasting negative effect on families and communities. Thus we support the 2015 Legislature's efforts to create legislation that will minimize Vermonters' exposure to ill-intended or accidental gun violence.

NEW HAVEN — Sen. Chris Bray had hoped Senate leadership would appoint him to the Natural Resources and Energy Committee this session. The sophomore senator is an avid outdoorsman and he believes the state's long history of good environmental stewardship should be perpetuated.
BRISTOL — A Mount Abraham Union High School senior was selected from a pool of Vermont high school students to represent the state at a nationwide conference in Washington, D.C., this spring.
Isabelle Moody of Monktonand a Brattleboro student will form Vermont's delegation to the United States Senate Youth Program, a conference created by the federal government in 1962 for exceptional students interested in careers in public service.
With about three weeks remaining until Election Day, most nonpartisan analysts believe that Republican candidates are likely to gain the six or more seats they need to have a majority in the U.S. Senate. How would a Republican majority affect Sen. Patrick Leahy's decision whether or not to run for an eighth term in 2016?
As the U.S. Supreme Court comes closer to the end of its term in late June, some Democratic elected officials and progressive law professors are calling on Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to announce her retirement when the term concludes. Their argument is that Ginsburg, the Court's oldest member at 81 and the leader of the Court's liberal wing, should retire in time to allow President Obama to nominate her successor while the Democrats still hold a majority in the Senate.
Gov. Shumlin's call for an increase in the minimum wage hike to $10.10 an hour by 2017 is not only the right thing to do, it also makes economic sense.
No reasonable person can argue that a lower wage is good for business or the nation's economy. The economic goal of the nation should be to create and nurture a vibrant and thriving middle class, which includes those at the lower end of the wage scale who see the merits of hard work yield a lifestyle that, at the very least, can put food on the table and shelter overhead.
The Vermont Senate killed a bill on the floor last week, 21-8, that would have provided towns some control over how solar power projects were sited. Among other things, the bill, S.191, sought to require ground-mounted solar installations to comply with the same town zoning and screening requirements as does other commercial development.
There will not be a U.S. Senate race in Vermont in 2014. However, the results of Senate campaigns in other states could significantly affect politics in Vermont.
Editor's note: Democrat Patrick Leahy, now 73, was the state's attorney for Chittenden County when he was elected to represent Vermont in the U.S. Senate in 1974. Now the longest-serving active senator, he has the perspective, the connections and the power to accomplish a lot for his state and his country. Our reporter spent a day with Sen. Leahy last week, watching the veteran politician hard at work in the nation's capital.

There are 32 bars of energy that run through and around your head. They store the electromagnetic component of all the thoughts, ideas, attitudes, decisions and beliefs that you have ever had about anything. There are Bars for healing, body, control, awareness, creativity, power, aging, sex and money; just to name a few. Each thought, idea, attitude, decision or belief that you have fixed in place solidifies the energy and limits your capacity to be generative in that area and to have something different show up in your life.
As each bar is touched you begin clearing the "issues" and the energy locked up in that area of your life, allowing for exponential change and healing to happen.
When you are functioning from preconceived points of view about what is possible in life, what is not possible in life, and have it rigidly defined of how the world works, you cannot be aware of anything that does not match that. As you change the energy, you change how that part of your life shows up.
Get your Bars touched! When you do, something different can show up in your life with ease. At worst you feel like you have just had a beautiful relaxation. At best your whole life can change into something greater with total ease. This is an incredibly nurturing and relaxing process, undoing limitation in all aspects of your life without any effort.
Access Bars has assisted thousands of people to change many aspects of their lives. People report better health, ease of sleep, weight loss, better sex and relationships, relief from anxiety, less stress and so much more...

The reign of Edward I at the end of the thirteenth century was a time when the kingdom of England was becoming more prosperous and populous. It was a time, too, that saw the creation of a group of new towns guided by the king's hand. This is an atlas showing what these towns may have looked like then. It is intended to be used by anyone interested in urban life in the middle ages, whether students, academics, tourists, local communities, or government agencies. For each town you will find maps and images, as well as historical interpretation, bibliographical information, and access through to a geographical database.
Thirteen towns are included. In north Wales, one group was created largely for military purposes as part of Edward I's efforts to bring the Welsh closer under his political control, while a second group, in England, were created more for trading purposes, to foster commerce and profit in the economic heart of his expanding realm. The atlas maps out these 'new towns', showing not only their location and date of foundation, but also their physical make-up, their urban form. As well as the more obvious architectural survivals of the towns' medieval churches, castles, gates and defences, other elements of their urban landscapes also survive through to the present-day, including original street-patterns and arrangements of building plots. Through the maps contained in this atlas some appreciation should be gained of the towns' initial size and layout, their early features and attributes, together with an understanding of their individual origins and purpose. More generally, the atlas sheds new light on those places described by historians as 'new towns of the middle ages', places whereby a town was established on a previously un-urbanised site. As such, the individual towns covered by this atlas provide case studies of medieval town planning, and a basis for further comparative research on Europe's medieval urban heritage.
The atlas is the product of a two-year research project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, a UK government funding-body that promotes the study and enjoyment of arts, history and culture. The research was carried out between 2003 and 2005 by a small team of geographers and archaeologists based at Queen's University Belfast, Northern Ireland. The atlas is hosted by the Archaeology Data Service as part of a digital archive promoting public use and dissemination of archaeological resources. For more information on the research project that lay behind the atlas, for example the methods and techniques used, and the broad historiographical and historical context of the work, see:
The structure of the atlas is as follows. There are two further introductory sections: one is about the towns included in the atlas and the reasons they were chosen; after this a second section explains how the atlas maps were made and how they can be used. The main substance of the atlas then follows this, with a short introduction. This main section has interpretative text and maps for each of the individual towns the atlas covers. If you are mainly interested in a particular town you may wish to skip through to this section of the atlas, though to properly understand the maps presented there you may need to refer back to the earlier sections. An appendix includes material on towns not covered in detail by the atlas but which nevertheless belong to the same group of 'Edwardian' towns that form the focus of the atlas as a whole. Finally, there is a summary of the atlas. Should you wish to find out more about the sources used, or if you wish to conduct follow-up work, there is also a bibliographic resource.

What is pilates?Pilates trains your body to be strong, flexible and balanced. It involves a series of movements and positions that help to improve your strength and coordination. Deep breathing and relaxation are important in controlling how you do the exercises (Latey 2001, Levine et al 2007, Anderson & Spector 2000, Segal et al 2004).
The movements focus on your tummy, pelvic floor muscles and back muscles, which are all key to good posture, balance and strength. They also help your back and pelvis to be supported.
If you strengthen your muscles, you'll develop a stable core. Pilates builds on this strength through a series of controlled, increasingly challenging movements that won't put your body under strain.
How can pilates help me in pregnancy?Pilates strengthens your tummy, back and pelvic floor muscles without straining other joints, so it's a great exercise to do when you're pregnant. Some research suggests that doing pilates regularly can be as effective as doing pelvic floor exercises.
Check that your pilates instructor is experienced and trained in teaching pregnant women, and try to choose a pilates class that's for pregnant women (ACPWH 2010).
The main benefit of pilates is that it targets the exact muscles and functions that can be a problem during pregnancy and after birth, in a safe way.
Doing regular pilates will help to:
- Strengthen your tummy muscles, which equips your body better to cope with the strains caused by the weight of your growing baby. Hormones make the tissues (ligaments) that connect your bones more pliable in pregnancy, making you more prone to injury (Kristiansson et al 1996).
- Reduces back pain, by exercising the deepest tummy muscles that stabilise your back and pelvis (Endleman et al 2008). Weak muscles can lead to back or pelvic pain (Aladro-Gonzalvo et al 2013, Tlapáková et al 2011).
- Strengthen your pelvic floor, which will help to support your bowel, bladder and uterus (womb) as your baby grows and moves down. This may prevent you from leaking small amounts of wee when you cough or sneeze.
- Helps with balance, as you may feel a little more clumsy, or that your balance isn't as good as usual(Pruett & Caputo 2011), in pregnancy. Pilates exercises strengthen your core (Johnson et al 2007) and may make you more stable when you walk as your bump grows.
- Takes the strain off your back and pelvis, by using positions such as going on your hands and knees, which is a great position for pregnancy. Towards the end of your pregnancy, it may also help to get your baby into the right position for birth.
- Relax and control your breathing, which is important for pregnancy and labour (ACPWH 2010).
Exercise is good for you during pregnancy. You should aim to do both aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking or swimming, and muscle-strengthening exercise, such as pilates or yoga (Wright 2010, Zavorsky 2011).
What if I haven't done pilates before?Before trying pilates, make sure that you can find your pelvic floor muscles. If you can do a good pelvic floor contraction, you'll get more from your pilates sessions. If you can't find or feel them, ask to see a physiotherapist before starting pilates.
Try the following exercise to see how good your core stability is. You may have to try it a few times before you get the hang of it:
- Get on to your hands and knees. Align your hands under your shoulders, and your knees under your hips. Keep your back flat. Try to do it next to a mirror, so you can check your position.
- Breathe in, and then as you breathe out, squeeze your pelvic floor muscles. At the same time, pull your belly button in and up.
- Try to hold this for 10 seconds. Continue breathing normally throughout the squeeze, and keep your back still.
- Relax your muscles slowly at the end of the exercise.
If you can perform this exercise easily, and repeat it 10 times, your pelvic floor and core tummy muscles are working well. This exercise is safe to perform at any stage of your pregnancy.
Can I attend any pilates classes?Look for a class that is for pregnant women (ACPWH 2010). If your instructor isn't a health professional, check that she has a qualification in teaching exercise to pregnant women.
Even if you can do pelvic floor exercises with ease, you may find that many ordinary pilates classes go too quickly for you. If there isn't an antenatal pilates class in your area, make sure your instructor knows that you're pregnant, and how many weeks you are. She'll need to adapt the exercises for you.
If you're in any pain or discomfort at any time, stop what you are doing and let your midwife or doctor know before returning to your classes.
Be cautious about the following:
- Positions that involve lying on your tummy or back, or standing on one leg, in mid-pregnancy and beyond. A good instructor will suggest alternative, safe postures.
- Don't stretch any joint to its full range, especially in an unsupported position. This is because the hormone relaxin will have made your ligaments looser.
- Supporting your weight on your hands and knees may make your wrists ache. This can be particularly uncomfortable if you have carpal tunnel syndrome. Your instructor should show you how to lean forward on an exercise ball, if this is the case.

Malaysian woman sues husband over losing virginity: report
A Malaysian woman is suing her husband for nearly a million dollars over the loss of her virginity, a report said Friday.
The New Straits Times said the 30-year-old teacher is claiming 3.0 million ringgit (941,000 dollars) in damages for false promises over their marriage, which collapsed after her in-laws disapproved.
It said the pair consummated their relationship after dating for a few months, then legally registered their marriage, but they never went through the customary Chinese marriage rites.
"What she has is a marriage on paper only. It's not the kind we all know and the kind all women want. It's a marriage obtained by misrepresentation," her lawyer, Ernest Chua, told the daily.
The in-laws began pressuring their son to divorce, according to the bride, who named in them in the suit for "inducing their son to breach the contract of marriage" and for causing her "humiliation and mental torture."
The woman has also asked the court to declare the marriage null and void.

I am interested in graphs $G=(V,E)$ with vertex set $V$ a finite dimensional vector space and edges in $E$ which are not necessarily related to the linear structure of $V$. So my objects are just graphs with a vertex set with additional structure, and I don't require any special morphisms. (The vector space structure is for combinatorial reasons, to count vertices in terms of dimension.) I'd like to use a striking name for those graphs, but neither do I know if
1) there is already a name for them,
2) there would be collision with other terminology if I named them something like "vector graphs", "vector based graphs", etc.
For example "linear graph" would be a bad choice.
If some graph theory terminology specialist out there could help that would be very nice.
