Meir Panim implements programs that serve Israel's neediest populations with respect and dignity. Meir Panim also coordinated care packages for families in the South during the Gaza War.
For those old enough to follow events through the newspapers, Detroit Free Press staff writer Sam Petok opened his article with the following:
A mournful bray of resolution from Detroit's Jewry was sounded Sunday and hurled across the seas to the bloodstained soil of a newborn state.
The Shofar, the ram's horn blown only at sacred holidays, sent its sonorous notes floating into the cloud-flecked skies.
In a hushed moment, 2,000 years of wanderings through the world, of being pilloried, of turning the cheek and of national ignominy flashed through the minds of the throng.
Israel, the Jewish state, had been proclaimed.
A front-page story byWallace R. Duell in the Detroit News provided a sobering reminder of what was ahead:
After almost 2,000 years of aspiration and striving, the new state was being prematurely born. It was not ready for life. Its contours were not yet complete as they had been hoped for and designed. Its organs were not yet fully functioning. Yet it must spring to arms, in the very moment of its birth, for the millions of surrounding Arabs were implacable and would destroy it if they could.
The new Israel was a cartographer's – and a defending general staff's – nightmare. It was three almost entirely separate territories, rather than one each touching only one of the others and only at one small point: a narrow coastal strip; a wedge inland in the north at the Sea of Galilee; and a rough triangular shard of a piece of desert in the south pointing to Akaba.
Immediately at hand were the more than 30 million Arabs of seven adjacent states.
Chaim says this is the year the Cubs will be in the World Series because they have a good team – not because it's exactly a hundred years since they won a Series. By the way, the team the Cubs beat in 1908 was Ty Cobb's Tigers.
Irwin Cohen, the author of seven books, headed a national baseball publication for five years before earning a World Series ring working as a department head in a major league front office. His Baseball Insider column appears the second week of each month in The Jewish Press. Cohen, president of the Detroit area's Agudah shul, may be reached in his dugout at firstname.lastname@example.com.
About the Author: The author of 10 books, Irwin Cohen headed a national baseball publication for five years and interviewed the legendary Hank Greenberg. He went on to work for a major league team and became the first Orthodox Jew to earn a World Series ring. He can be reached in his Detroit area dugout at email@example.com.

As optimistic as Menachem Rosenberg is – and he said he is going to Uman – he's sure that this year, most of the travelers will not tour other religious sites or places in Ukraine.
Three sets of three-day Yomim Tovim can seem overwhelming – especially when we are trying to stay healthy.
Is a missed opportunity to do a mitzvah considered a sin?
The sounds and scents of the kitchen are cozy, familiar, but loud in the silence.
Everyone has a weakness. For some people it is the inability to walk past a sales rack without dropping a few hundred dollars. For others, it's the inability to keep their house organized.
Not enjoying saying no, I often succumbed to requests viewing them as demands I couldn't refuse.
His entire life was dedicated to Torah and he became a pivotal figure in the transmittal of the Oral Torah to the next generation.
When you don't have anyone else to turn to… that's when you're tied to Hashem the closest.
While we all go to restaurants for a good meal, it is dessert, that final taste that lingers in your mouth, that is the crown jewel of any dining experience and Six Thirteen's offerings did not disappoint.
Today, fifty years and six million (!) people later, Israel is truly a different world.
There will always be items that don't freeze well – salads and some rice- or potato-based dishes – so you need to leave time to prepare or cook them closer to Yom Tov and ensure there is enough room in the refrigerator to store them.
In Uzbekistan, in the early twentieth century, it was the women who wore the pants.
Many former baseball players who left us with happy memories also passed away in the past year.
"No kid is worth a million dollars to sign," Newhouser said, "but if one kid is, it's this kid."
Zimmer was popular with veteran teammates like Roy Campanella, Gil Hodges, Pee Wee Reese and Duke Snider – and with a rookie lefthander named Sandy Koufax.
I'm sure readers noticed those full-page advertisements that ran prior to last month's meeting about the situation at the Brooklyn home of Rabbi Moshe Tuvia Lieff, rav of Agudas Yisroel Bais Binyomin. Avrohom chaired the even along with his brother Menachem, a prominent askan and the president of Lubicom.
I spoke twice during Pesach. The first topic was the Holocaust and Jewish ballplayers and the second was how I, a frum-from-birth Jew, ended up in major league baseball.
Even if a player reaches the big league level, there's still no guarantee he'll remain with one team for long. Former Jewish outfielder Richie Scheinblum comes to mind.
The snow has melted in most parts of the country and here in Florida, where I have my winter dugout in the Orthodox enclave of Century Village in West Palm Beach, I had the opportunity to take in several spring training games.
If you're visiting spring training sites, Arizona has two advantages – fewer games are rained out and the facilities are much closer to each other than is the case in Florida.

Third-Party Products & Services
Using a combination of Image Processing Toolbox, Mapping Toolbox, and Virtual Reality Toolbox, with MATLAB and MATLAB Compiler, Quadelta Inc. develops realistic stand-alone modeling and simulation applications that can be distributed freely. Quadelta can provide both the compiled applications and complete source code (MATLAB code). Because the visualization system is integral to the MATLAB environment, the high-resolution, 3-D graphics have instant access to MATLAB processes. This technique is cost-effective because it eliminates the expense of third-party visualization systems that would otherwise be at the back-end of the application.
In addition, using MATLAB-based visualization eliminates the need for bidirectional communications between the MATLAB application and a third-party visualization system, as well as any potential integration concerns between the two.

Friends, Pokers, Likers, lend me your sleeves;
I come to you today on a momentous occasion of historic magnitude. In recent years we have been woven tight through the threads of the social network known as Facebook.
It has brought together friends, families, and complete strangers around things you would have to stumble upon (literally) in the world around you to discover.
The hoodie represents comfort, exploration, and the connection of the world around something so pedestrian as a sweatshirt.
As Facebook begins trading publicly today, Friday May 18, 2012, wear your hoodie as I declare the Ultimate Casual Friday.
Tweet your hoodie and Facebook related photos to @zuckerbergshood or #hoodiesup - it's a cold world out there, we always have your back.

Specific dermatological procedures to minimize acne scars will be determined by your doctor based on:
Your age, overall health, and medical history
Severity of the scar
Type of scar
Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Your opinion or preference
Although acne can be a chronic condition, even if it occurs only during adolescence, it can leave lifelong scars. Acne scars can be depressed and look like "ice pick" pits, or can be rolling, creating a wavy texture in the skin or boxlike, sometimes referred to as "boxcar acne scars." Acne scars can also be raised in the form of a keloid or hypertrophic scar. Lastly, acne can leave colored spots referred to as postinflammatory hyperpigmentation. These spots can be purplish, red and pink in lighter skin, and tan to dark brown in darker skin. These are technically not scars and will commonly fade over time. Although proper treatment for acne may help minimize scarring, several dermatological procedures may help to further minimize any acne scars, including the following:
Dermabrasion. Dermabrasion may be used to minimize small scars, minor skin surface irregularities, surgical scars, and acne scars. As the name implies, dermabrasion involves removing the top layers of skin with an electrical machine that abrades the skin. As the skin heals from the procedure, the surface appears smoother and fresher. You will typically need five to seven days at home to recover. Microdermabrasion is a less invasive option typically performed in a series of treatments that do not require the same downtime.
Chemical peels. Chemical peels are often used to minimize sun-damaged skin, irregular pigment, and superficial scars. The top layer of skin is removed with a chemical application to the skin. By removing the top layer, the skin regenerates, often improving its appearance.
Dermal filler injections. These are injected beneath the skin to replace the body's natural collagen that has been lost. Injectable dermal fillers are generally used to treat wrinkles, scars, and facial lines. Most fillers are temporary, lasting about three to six months.
Laser resurfacing and light therapies. Laser resurfacing uses high-energy light to burn away damaged skin. Laser resurfacing may be used to minimize wrinkles and fine scars. A pulsed dye laser may be used to specifically treat raised acne scars. Additionally, for lighter-skinned people, intense pulsed light may be another treatment option.
Punch grafts. Punch grafts are small skin grafts used to replace scarred skin. A hole is punched in the skin to remove the scar, which is then replaced with unscarred skin (often from the back of the earlobe). Punch grafts can help treat deep acne scars.
Subcutaneous incision. A surgical probe is used to separate the skin and scar tissue. This will raise the skin and, over time, flatten the surface of depressed acne scars.
Autologous fat transfer. An autologous fat transfer uses fat taken from another site on your own body and it is injected into your skin. The fat is placed beneath the surface of the skin to elevate depressed scars. This method is used to correct deep contour defects caused by scarring from nodulocystic acne. Because the fat may be reabsorbed into the skin over a period of months, there may be a need for the procedure to be repeated.
Injections. Commonly referred to as intralesional injections. These involve injecting a medication directly into a raised scar, causing it to flatten and soften.
Cryotherapy. The purpose of this treatment is to freeze scar tissue, causing it to die and eventually fall off. Sometimes, this is used in combination with intralesional injections. One potential risk of cryotherapy, however, is lightening the skin, causing the treated area to be lighter than the surrounding skin.

The Mozark Theater was located in the SW corner of the Public Square. It was torn down in the mid 50s to make way for an expansion of the Newberry's Dime Store next door. I recall it showing westerns and was very small.

PPG Industries has announced that its Architectural Glass Configurator is now available as a downloadable desktop widget for Windows and Mac computers. The desktop widget is the latest in a series of mobile and Web-based tools PPG has introduced recently to make it easier for architects to research and specify products whether they are traveling, in the office or at home.
The glass configurator helps architects to identify the best architectural glass for their projects by enabling them to view and compare the aesthetics and performance data of every PPG glass product, including high-performance tinted glasses, ultra-clear STARPHIRE(R) glass, and energy-efficient passive and solar control, low-emissivity glasses such as SUNGATE(R) and SOLARBAN(R) products. The online tool has been used more than 200,000 times since it was launched in 2010, and it currently attracts more than 10,000 visitors per month.
By downloading the configurator widget directly to their computers, architects can access and compare glass products even when they don't have Internet access. To download the widget, architects must download the YAHOO!(R) Widgets application, and then download the WinZip file for the PPG Glass Configurator Widget by clicking on "IDEASCAPES TOOLS" on the home page and then on "Glass Configurator Widget" in the list that appears.
You can watch demonstration videos of all the online glass specification tools available from PPG on YouTube.

Easy to trim
posted 6 years ago
This stainless steel trimmer is sturdy and lightweight. The easy-to-hold handles are coated in rubber and operate like scissors. The sharp blades and small size make it easy to trim cats's nails. The only hard part is holding the cat while trimming the nails.
Pros: Easy to see
Cons: None

Magic vs. Miracles: New Grass on the Field
Yesterday afternoon found me driving back from a brunch - a cancer research fundraiser in honor of my late brother. In the backseat was the divinely serendipitous baseball 'care package' that had arrived just before the anniversary of my grandfather's death earlier this month: a pair of signed, 'Isaiah 40:31 batting gloves, a Christ-testifying baseball card and several other items.
I had brought it along to show my mother on the drive over. On the way back, my six-year-old niece picked it up. At that very moment (and I mean that quite literally - as if my niece had switched the station herself), the song on the radio changed to... 'Centerfield' by John Fogerty.
Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today!My brother had deep brown eyes. He was, by all accounts, a handsome man. He was born again, shortly before he 'headed home' last October. He loved watching baseball with his daughter (my niece) in his lap.
We're born again, there's new grass on the field.
A-roundin' third, and headed for home, it's a brown-eyed handsome man;
Anyone can understand the way I feel.
I pointed out the lyrics to my mom. She 'got it' immediately. My niece did too (she's frighteningly perceptive for not-quite six and a half). She giggled. "You mean these gloves are magic?", she asked, picking them up again, looking half-expectantly at the radio.
"No honey, they're not magic," I replied. "Miracles aren't magic. They may seem magical to us, but that's not the right word. Miracles are not something we make happen. God gives us miracles as gifts. God and your daddy just wanted to remind us that they're still with us."
I hope that anyone can understand the way I feel: utterly jubilant and grateful at the regular reminders that there not only is grass on the other side, but that it is green and lush and new.

College football has been a Southeastern Conference block party. Winning six consecutive national championships will create that type of atmosphere. And not much is going to change this season as Alabama and LSU, who jousted for the SEC title and national championship a year ago, will be back at it. But there's a threat to the SEC's streak: Southern Cal. After a few years of probation, scholarship reductions, and bowl bans, USC is back in the championship mix and quarterback Matt Barkley is good enough to lead the Trojans all the way to the top. So let's look into the crystal ball and see which teams could be headed to the BCS title game in Miami.
1. Southern Cal

With four critically acclaimed albums under their belt, Architects have steadily risen in popularity since their first record back in 2006. Now fresh off the release of their fifth full-length record, Daybreaker, the band has been playing festivals all over the world to support the new release—which is considered by many to be a return to the heavier Architects sound that was mostly absent from their fourth album, The Here And Now. We had a bunch of questions for the band regarding the new album and the band's supposed return to form, and—luckily for us—guitarist Tom Searle had some answers.
OS: In most interviews you've done regarding the new album, you describe it as a bit of a return to form—what do you think was the biggest inspiration for this change back to your more aggressive roots?
TS: The biggest inspiration was touring a record that wasn't heavy. During the whole cycle I felt uncomfortable playing the lighter material. So when we came to writing this record I knew that I wanted to write a heavy record. I think lyrically, the record required a heavy, aggressive backing.
OS: Daybreaker is your fifth album since 2006—that's a lot of music in that amount of time—how do you find the time, inspiration, and energy to write, record, and tour each of these records?
TS: We've never found it hard to write. We started this band because we wanted to get together and write music, that's the primary purpose of the band. All the touring just came incidentally. So it's never been hard to make the time or be inspired because it's a hobby. I write music because I love doing it.

Fantastic Smoke, Great Flavor, One of the Best For Money. You can't go Wrong!!!Rick in Albuquerque, NM June 15, 2008
"One of the Best"
I bought a box of these on auction and boy am I glad I did. This is one of the absolute best full flavored cigars I have tasted. I smoked one right of out of the box with no humidor aging and wow... I can't believe how good. I wish I had bought two boxes.The Body in Forty Fort, PA March 26, 2008
"Enjoyable Smoke..."
While this is an enjoyable smoke with notes of light leather I was expecting more from this full bodied cigar. Not to say that it was not a smooth smoke with an even burn and it held its ash very well , I was expecting something else. I will have to give it another shot and this time try it with some Remy Martin VSOP, my drink of choice. The cigar mellowed somewhat about half way through and was enjoyable. 6.5/10Matt in Burlington, KY February 20, 2008

What a full body cigar should taste like! This is one of my favorite smokes. It burns well, plenty of smoke, and flavor. This is my favorite out of all of the CAO's. The Italia is good too, but the Brazilia has the best flavor. It's good all the way down to the nub, don't burn your fingers. For the full body aficionado, you will enjoy this cigar.SR in CA October 15, 2007
I had read some reviews on this fine cigar a year ago and decided that I wanted to try one. I was initially taken aback by the taste, aroma and flavor...but after half a stick I began to 'smile' as each puff and exhalation was VERY enjoyable. This fine stick burns evenly and I agree with another reviewer that you smoke it to the very end and enjoy ever delectable inch!Randall Gowett in KS July 18, 2007
"This girl is tall and mighty."
What a punch this sweetheart packs! And this ring gauge is a jawbreaker, to boot. I started with Gol!, couldn't get enough and stepped up to Amazon. She's everything a maduro should be dark and mysterious. Sneaks up on you and knocks you flat. If you don't burn your fingers on this one you don't like cigars!Halftrip in Los Angeles, CA February 28, 2007
"Good Personality"
This one has a good personality. Some of the other high end smokes are just too perfect; but this one was willing to take some chances. It is a strong one. I smoked it all the way down and had a smile on my face after finishing it. It's worth a try if you can get it on sale.Nightjoe in Sagle, ID May 25, 2006
"Everything a Big, Bold Cigar should be!!! Superb"
I've been smoking good cigars for about a year and have found the CAO line wonderful over all. When I couldn't find any more MX2's around, I started trying their other cigars. Every one of the full size cigars are great with wonderful aroma and flavor in the Brazilia line. The large ringsize just makes it that much better right down to where you'll want to smoke it, the NUB!AP N in Central TX May 15, 2006
"My favorite cigar"
Although I have found that the Maduro LaFloridita Toros or Belicoso is my favored everyday smoke, when ever I feel like splurging, these are the best cigar I have found in 40 years of cigar smoking. I am not skilled enough with words to describe them.Randall M in Wisconsin November 9, 2005

KU School of Law offers in-state tuition scholarship to KCMO metro residents
Vantage gives students who have established residency in one of 11 Missouri counties the chance to pursue a KU law degree at an in-state tuition rate. Students entering the KU law school in the summer or fall of 2014 from the following 11 counties are eligible: Bates, Buchanan, Cass, Clay, Clinton, Henry, Jackson, Johnson, Lafayette, Platte and Ray.
"We already know that Kansas City's prospective law students consider the University of Kansas for its great reputation, accessible faculty, small class sizes and hands-on learning opportunities," said Stephen Mazza, dean and professor of law. "Now they can also add affordability to the list. We hope the Vantage Scholarship makes it even easier for talented students to choose KU Law."
First-year law students with Kansas residency currently pay $19,623.35 per year in tuition and fees for 29 hours, while nonresidents pay $33,067.75.
The Vantage program is not a tuition waiver, noted Steven Freedman, assistant dean for admissions at the law school. Qualifying students receive a renewable scholarship from the law school that covers the difference between resident and nonresident tuition.
"We've always considered ourselves Kansas City's leading law school," Freedman said. "Now with the Vantage Scholarship, we feel we can recruit just as well on both sides of the border."
Interested students are encouraged to apply by the Feb. 15 scholarship priority deadline.
Law professor wins Docking Young Faculty Scholar Award
LAWRENCE — In 1999, former Kansas First Lady Meredith Docking made a commitment of $1 million to establish the Docking Young Faculty Scholar Award. In 2013, ten exceptional faculty members at the University of Kansas have been honored as the latest recipients.
"Mrs. Docking established this generous award to honor faculty who have distinguished themselves early in their careers at KU," said Jeff Vitter, provost and executive vice chancellor. "Our strategic plan, Bold Aspirations, has guided our efforts to bring many talented, young faculty to Lawrence in recent years across all of our schools and the College. These awards enable us to recognize and retain outstanding individuals, even in a challenging economic environment."
Individuals selected as Docking Faculty Scholars receive an annual stipend over the duration of their award, either three or five years. The award may be renewed for a second term. Faculty selected in 2013:
- Shawn Alexander, associate professor of African & African American studies
- Christopher Depcik, associate professor of mechanical engineering
- Dale Dorsey, associate professor of philosophy
- William Elliott, associate professor of social welfare
- Tamara Falicov, chair and associate professor of film and media studies
- Trent Herda, assistant professor of health, sport & exercise science
- Virginia Harper Ho, associate professor of law
- Wonpil Im, associate professor of molecular biology
- Ebenezer Obadare, associate professor of sociology
- Hyunjin Seo, assistant professor of journalism and mass communications.
"I know that each of these ten faculty will honor the spirit behind Mrs. Docking's gift — to strengthen exceptional teachers and scholars at KU," said Vitter.
The Docking Young Faculty Scholar Award was established by Meredith Docking to reward, encourage and retain younger faculty members who have clearly distinguished themselves early in their careers at KU. Assistant and associate professors who have distinguished themselves through exceptional research and teaching are eligible for these awards. The 10 new scholars were selected for the great potential their dean, chair and colleagues recognized in their nominations.
Past recipients include Monica Biernat, professor of psychology, Rick Dobrowsky, professor of pharmacology and toxicology, Judy Wu, distinguished professor of physics and astronomy, and Andrew Torrance, professor of law.

Do a Google search for SXSW 2013 takeaways and you get many articles about everyone's take on SXSW. So I'm not even going to try to write a recap or identify the main trends. Instead these were the things that kept crossing my mind as I kept going from session to session and from party to party.
"Damn there are a lot of Ad Agency people here". I work at an Agency so they were easy to spot. At some point I thought I was attending a high school reunion as I saw so many people from my past that I hadn't seen in so long that we had physically changed so much that I got whiplash from all the double takes. The last time I attended 3 years ago I don't remember seeing so much interest from the Agency community as it was considered a tech convention. There's that marriage between Agencies and Technologies that I wrote about a few years ago after I got back from the Next Web conference in 2011 and reposted on Tumblr early last year (http://thegandiman.tumblr.com/newagencyorder).
"I guess there's no breakout star this year". Everyone cites Twitter and Foursquare as the poster child for SXSW success and 2013 didn't produce the latest tech sensation. While software solutions and apps were not buzz-worthy, hardware made a real strong play this year. Wearable tech was everywhere. And 3D printing made a big play for mainstream appeal (3D Systems' Cube had someone walking around wearing it around his neck which was weird other than effective). But the company that came closest to potentially breaking out was Leap Motion whose tent demonstration of their product and their session 3 days ago finally made real the prediction that gesture will be an industry-changing trend. The only major issue was that other than cool gaming, Leap still seems to have some ways to go to become a mainstream phenomenon. But their presence made it clear that it's not "will it happen" it's "it will happen".
"Space is not only for Sci-Fi geeks, it's a business". I couldn't get into Elon Musk's very very popular keynote speech which I heard was outstanding. Its place in the conference threw me off at first but I came to realize that if technology is becoming a huge staple of human daily life that the work of companies like SpaceX and the innovators in those fields have lots to offer. I'm expecting that in 2014 we might see some pretty advanced product offerings and ideas now that the focus is not on prepping for the next space shuttle launch.
"Everybody loves data" I confess, I didn't really pay much attention to all the data talk as it all adds up to the same conclusion. "We don't take advantage of the intelligence good data science could get us". I was bummed I missed Nate Silver - huge fan.
"Austin wants to be New Orleans during SXSW" Walk down 6th Street any night and you'll swear someone's gonna pelt you with beads.
"The food's pretty damn good" I didn't have one bad meal. My three standouts were Frank (duh), Easy Tiger and Swift's Attic. (Follow me on Foodspotter, ahem).
"****-ing Lines!" It doesn't matter what sessions you were at or what parties you went you, you couldn't escape the long, long lines. And not just one long line. Sometimes there'd be three incredibly long lines in close proximity of each other. You walk one block and there was a block and a half long line to get in to one venue and halfway up the next block there was a two and a half long line to get in to another venue. Some venues had two long lines - one for VIPs and one for the non-VIPs. SXSW: if lines will forever be a reality for SXSW, perhaps a hack-a-thon to come up with ideas on how to make them more bearable is in order? That could be a great session for next year?
"Everyone loves cats" There were huge lines to meet the Viral Web Grumpy Cat in Mashable House. People were taking about the damn cat so much even I went to see it. And darn it, it was pretty cool.
Sight from Sight Systems on Vimeo.

Liberal anchor Chris Matthews on Friday stooped to the lowest level, smearing John McCain as an "angry" Vietnam veteran who is having a "flashback." Resorting to the cheapest of stereotypes, the Hardball host attempted to explain why McCain so aggressively opposed Chuck Hagel's nomination to be Secretary of State.

I just went whitewater rafting on the lower new. It was a lot of fun. The signs to find where you need to be could have been a little more clear, but I have no complaints. I had a good time and I can't wait to go back!
I accidently bought the wrong package which was 10 more than the trip would have been so they upgraded my raft size. I didn't even have to ask. Everyone was really nice and the guides were a blast.

We're told Mark Wahlberg is contemplating yet another TV project, and the premise of this one sounds promising. Wahlberg is already at work on three reality shows — he calls them "docu-series" — about the Teamsters,
a Dorchester towing company, and one focused on six young Boston women striving to improve themselves. Now he's exploring an idea that involves local college kids. Specifically, Wahlberg wants to produce a reality show based on "The Big Bang Theory," the popular CBS sitcom about a group of science geeks. The series would focus on a group of student nerds (and perhaps a few professors) at one of Boston's illustrious institutions of higher learning (think: Cambridge). The highly rated "Big Bang Theory" centers on the relationships between two physicists employed at the California Institute of Technology, their friends who are also scientists, and a waitress-aspiring actress (played by the lovely Kaley Cuoco ). The inspiration for Wahlberg's show is a guy named George Zaidan , an MIT grad who writes and hosts an offbeat Vlog called "Pocket Science," which looks at current scientific research.

Podcast Transcript:
Narrator: A walk in the clouds, with a NASA satellite.
I'm Jane Platt, and you're listening to a podcast from JPL - NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
Clouds come in all sizes and shapes. They're part of the landscape of our daily lives. Before long, when NASA's CloudSat mission launches, we will know even more about clouds and how they affect our climate, our weather and our water supply. Joining us today is CloudSat Project Manager Tom Livermore of JPL. Welcome, Tom.
Livermore: Good morning, Jane, how are you?
Narrator: Good, thank you. A quick overview of what CloudSat's going to tell us about our clouds?
Livermore: CloudSat is a new space instrument that will be overflying the Earth, and the principal thing it's going to do for us is give us what we call a three-dimensional view of clouds. In other words, it's going to be able to tell us what's inside of clouds. We can look up and see where the clouds are. We can look down from space and see the tops of clouds. But there's nothing right now in space that regularly goes over and looks at what's in the clouds. How much water content is in the clouds, how much ice content is in the clouds, and makes those measurements for us so we can get a better understanding of how clouds interact, as you pointed out, with both the long-term climatic process as well as short-term weather forecasting.
Narrator: How will CloudSat do this? How will it study clouds?
Livermore: Oh well, thank you. CloudSat is actually a radar. We all know that there are a lot of radars around but this is a very special radar. For the first time in space, we're going to fly a radar that operates at a specific frequency that allows us to interact with the water droplets that form clouds. Now as you know, as water evaporates from the earth, it forms water vapor and we can't measure that, but as soon as a cloud is formed, and a cloud is formed by water droplets forming, that's what we all see as the cloud, then our radar can start detecting that and measure how much water and ice is inside that cloud. And so basically we send out a radar pulse and it gets bounced back and the information that comes back as it bounces back tells us the height of the cloud and how much water is in there.
Narrator: And why is it so important for us to know about that?
Livermore: The water that's inside the clouds is one of the variables that affects climatic models, for one thing, and it also affects very, very clearly, short term weather forecasting. Ya' know, there s a lot of discussion in the climate about whether or not as we get more water on Earth, more water will evaporate and form more clouds and whether that will cause the Earth to heat more or whether because there are more clouds, more sunlight will be reflected. And understanding how much water is in clouds is gonna help us determine that. And this is very critical to determining, as a matter of fact, whether in the long-term, the Earth will continue to heat, or whether as a matter of fact it will begin cooling down as more water comes and more clouds form.
Narrator: And CloudSat will be studying clouds globally, around the whole Earth.
Livermore: That's correct. As CloudSat orbits the earth, and it orbits the Earth approximately every 90 minutes, about every hour and a half, the Earth rotates under it, so we get a scan every hour-and-a-half of one strip around the Earth. And as the Earth rotates under it, we image the whole Earth.
Narrator: So you'll be able to monitor how the clouds are sort of moving in patterns around the globe?
Livermore: Exactly, exactly, and we can look at how the clouds move now, but what we don't know is how much water content is in those clouds, and also, as we measure that water content, we also can determine how much precipitates out as rain. And so we can look at how these weather patterns as they move around the globe, how that interacts with where rain's going to fall and where it's going to fall in the future.
Narrator: I don't think we've talked much, if at all, about the water supply and how CloudSat will, the implications of CloudSat on the water supply.
Livermore: That whole fresh water supply is continually recycled by clouds. Clouds is the only mechanism that recycles that. It takes the water that's in the ocean and recycles it back into the lakes, the rivers, the streams, and the aquifers in the world. Now, understanding that process and how that process is changing with the global heating and the other environmental changes is extremely important. Because we need to know in the future where we should grow our crops and where the water supply's going to be. And CloudSat is going to help us understand that. Very important to the man on the street obviously, because he's using this water, or she's using this water. And also very important to the farmer in the field.
Narrator: Is CloudSat going to send back pictures or data, or what will be able to see or find out?
Livermore: It will send back data and we will turn those data into pictures. Colorado state university, CERA, which is the organization that will be doing this for us, will take this data, and turn it into images, 3-dimensional images. And we'll be able to actually see, in fact, hopefully we'll be able to see this on our weather forecasts that come in the evening how much water is in these big storms as they come through. A new slice through the clouds, you'll be able to see a slice through the clouds that says look at this storm it's got all this water in it, and it's cold or it's warm, and it's going to create this huge storm, versus look at these clouds over here that don't have much water content and aren't very active.
Narrator: OK, quick wrapup, if you can just kind of give me some bullet points. After CloudSat launches, you think you will know more about what?
Livermore: We will know more about the internal structure of clouds and therefore we will be able to predict betterwhere, for instance, storms are going to track. We'll be able to predict better where the water resources are going to be in the future. We'll be able to predict better how intense storms are going to be. Those are key criteria that we'll be able to make a big improvement with CloudSat.
Narrator: Well thank you very much for joining us.
Livermore: Thank you, appreciate the time.
Narrator: We've been talking today with Tom Livermore of JPL. He is the CloudSat Project Manager. More information on the mission is online at www.nasa.gov/cloudsat .
Thanks for listening to this podcast from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Causes of Death Vary by Breed
What's your dog's risk?
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.
Submitted by pat gibson | May 24 2011 | Permalink
Briards are very susceptible to bloat - it is one of the leading causes of death for the breed. Lymphoma is another common cause. On the whole it is a very healthy breed. My oldest is a rescued bitch who is at least 12 years old and still going strong. Other than a knee injury which does not stop her from anything, she shows no health issues. Her muzzle is very gray, but her eyes are clear and teeth are healthy. If you didn't know her age, you wouldn't guess she is an aged dog. Her companion is a 5 year old Briard bitch who is a healthy happy girlie too. She had one episode of near bloat as a very young dog, but quick response and treatment avoided a catastrophe. I watch her like a hawk now. Her brother bloated just a few weeks before she did. Fortunately he was able to recover. Their great-granddam died of bloat at age 9, even with prompt veterinary care. It scares me to death, but I am glad to know as I was able to preventative steps and know what to look for.

This blog post would be a lot more useful with a link to the original study, or at least to some report about it that has more information on the results. The article you link to is really no more detailed than this post, and there's no link there either. I clicked on this expecting to be able to learn something about my breed, and it's completely useless.

Here's the address where you can see the original article:
My small breed dog (possibly maltipoo or some combination thereof) has had terrible teeth from Day 1. She's had to have several extracted ... even though we brush every day. She also came to me with a heart murmur that has, in 9 years, escalated into full blown heart disease. Evidently this is common for maltese. I've been really careful to be sure she has a healthy lifestyle in all respects and at age 11, if it weren't for the heart disease, I think she could go on and on for a few more years.

I actually found this blog post / article extremely helpful and informative. I have a 3 year old Weimaraner who is suffering from a very serious chronic and unfortunately, undiagnosed gastrointestinal issue. My vet and I are at wits' end about the cause but this article and link to the study has inspired me to continue researching the possible causes. Thank you :)

I know that large dogs get more osteosarcoma than smaller breeds do, but from the owners and dogs I've known and read about in my 15+ years of adopting rescued racing greyhounds, my impression is that OS hits a high proportion of senior racers. I've read that bloat is proportionately much more common in AKC greyhound lines than in racing lines, while OS spares most AKC greyhounds. My theory is that the bottom-line focus of those in the racing industry is probably responsible for the infrequency of bloat. Dogs that developed bloat would be put down rather than operated on, so they did not live long enough to reproduce. Unless an AKC breeder had reason to believe that a tendency to bloat was inherited, s/he would not need to refrain from breeding a dog which had survived bloat. The popular sire effect could have spread such a predisposition very widely without anyone realizing it. Conversely, AKC breeders keep many of their adult dogs into their senior years, and are far more likely to hear from owners of their pet-quality puppies, since turned senior, than is the case with breeders of racing dogs. So AKC breeders would be more likely to observe an increased frequency of OS in their dogs than would racing breeders. And if racing breeders DID suspect OS ran in their bloodlines, phasing out those lines would not be a high priority since greyhounds are usually washed up by age 4, and in most states legally required to be retired by 6. Only the fastest dogs, or their parents, have any value to the racing dog breeder once they are no longer winning.

Thursday May 24, 2007
Mayor Jerry Abramson today announced the site for the city's new animal shelter and his commitment to include $1.1 million in the upcoming budget plan to design and begin construction on the project.
The mayor's budget also includes funding for two new animal control officers and an adoption coordinator.
"This budget continues my commitment to improve public safety and improve customer service for our residents," Abramson said. "I am confident the new central location will help us increase the number of animals adopted and decrease the time it takes us to respond to service calls in every corner of this community."
The shelter for Louisville Metro Animal Services will be constructed on city property located at 3520 Newburg Road, just outside the Watterson Expressway.
Last year, Abramson pledged $4 million over four years to construct the new animal shelter complex. The fiscal year 2006-07 budget included $750,000 for purchasing property. Since the new shelter is being built on existing city property, Metro Animal Services will pay $400,000 to have a Metro Public Works District located at Newburg moved to an existing city property at 617 Outer Loop. Metro Animal Services will have $350,000 of that previous allotment left to put toward the cost of a new facility.
Abramson's proposed fiscal year 2007-08 budget includes the additional $1.1 million in capital for the new facility, bringing the total for design and construction to $1.45 million.
A request for design proposal will be issued within the next 30 days. The Public Works facility will be moved to the Outer Loop by fall. Construction on the new adoption center will begin before the end of the year. The adoption center should be open to the public by 2008.
The complex will be built in phases after the adoption center. The next building on the drawing board would be the medical center, followed by an education wing and the animal control operations. The facility on Manslick Road will remain open until the entire facility is constructed. Construction is expected to take five years.
Operating Budget Doubles – Adds New OfficersThe proposed fiscal year 2007-08 budget also includes new dollars for new positions in the agency.
The mayor increased the operating budget by $300,000 to hire three additional employees and cover other personnel costs within the agency, such as rising pension costs, staff raises and increased health insurance premiums.
Since 2004, the operating budget for Louisville Metro Animal Services has almost doubled. The staff has increased 25% since 2005.
Investments in Animal ServicesIn addition to the new facility and personnel, since merger Abramson has helped update the department's equipment and technology.
"The investments we've made have taken Metro Animal Services from a pencil and paper agency, to a professional department that can now track trends, data and response times with sophisticated software," Abramson said.
Investments since merger include:
Last year, Louisville Metro Animal Services responded to more than 23,000 calls for service and took in more than 14,000 animals.
