Women's classic Stormy Kromer Cap is made of premium merino wool.
When you hear old Stormy's story, you'll understand why his wife knitted the original Stormy Kromer cap for him – and why the style has endured since 1903! Women's cap is made in the USA of premium-quality, pre-shrunk merino wool and has a soft cotton lining inside. Ruggedly constructed to keep out wind and cold, it can be pulled down over your ears to keep them snug. And this isn't a man's cap: it's made with a shorter brim and feminine cut just for us.
The Legend of Stormy Kromer
George "Stormy" Kromer was a semi-pro baseball player and railroad engineer. He wasn't really the type to start a clothing company, but nonetheless became famous for a long-wearing cap that stayed put, even in the fiercest winds.
Born in Wisconsin in 1876 and nicknamed "Stormy" for his temper, he played on nearly 30 semi-pro baseball teams throughout the Midwest – and might have continued to play, if not for Ida. Her father wasn't about to let some travelin' ballplayer have his daughter's hand, so Stormy had to find a steady job.
He started making long, cold trips across the plains for the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad. As an engineer, he had to stick his head out the window into the wind, which took his cap more than once.
In 1903, he asked Ida to modify his old baseball cap so it would stay on in windy weather. Her all-cloth cap with a soft, canvas visor was untraditional, but its six-panel fit stayed put.
Soon Stormy's co-workers wanted caps for themselves, and when Ida could no longer keep up with demand, the business was born.
According to Stormy Kromer Mercantile, "a lot of things have changed since those first few caps – new colors, new fabrics, new styles – but we haven't changed the way we make 'em. They're hand-stitched right here in the good old U-S-of-A, and they're still made to fit better than anything you've had next to your noggin. Stormy Kromer caps are true to the original, and that means you get all the comfort and function that made them famous."

This is a great hat to wear on those cold days. I also love the bright pink color.
Best Uses
Comments about Women's Stormy Kromer Cap:
I already have three Stormy Kromers in various colors and have given several as gifts.
Don't wear it if you don't like compliments, such as "great hat", or questions, such as "where did you get that great hat?"
Best Uses
Comments about Women's Stormy Kromer Cap:
My husband informed me that this hat was the same one that Elmer Fudd used to wear. I'll have to say it speaks well of his taste. The hat is comfortable and crushable- making it good for commuting and travel. The feature of the band pulling down to cover the ears is a neat little trick. I ordered the large and wear a 7 3/8 size; it fit perfectly with some leeway. I have gotten lots of comments about the hat as well- from teenagers liking the hat to people I have never met before in the store who express their admiration. It's become my favorite winter hat!

Comments about Women's Stormy Kromer Cap:
It is rare to find a wool hat lined in anything other that polyester fleece, which does not breathe. i wear wool everything to work outside all day in all weather. this hat looks cool, so my clients think i am hip, as well works perfectly to block the sun and keep me warm on cold days. i wore the hot pink one to all my holiday parties, and the chocolate brown one to work.
Best Uses
Comments about Women's Stormy Kromer Cap:
When I saw the Stormy Kromer Cap in the catalog and and noted that it was available in the raspberry color, my first thought was that my sister-in- law would probably wear it. After my husband concurred, I decided to order it for her for Christmas. I was unsure about the sizing. When it arrived and I learned that a large was a 7 1/4, I was concerned. Watching her open the hat, awing at the color, and finding it to be the perfect size, was purely delightful. I am sure that it became an instant favorite in her wardrobe of hats and scarves.

Best Uses
Comments about Women's Stormy Kromer Cap:
The women's Stormy Kromer hat was nicely made, but ran really small. I wear a true 7 1/4 in hats, and that size in this hat was so tight it constricted my head, hurt my hair, and left an indented line across my forehead after a 60-second try-on. And no, I don't wear "big hair". I bumped up to the XL and it's a good fit, and not too loose.

The red zone Int doesn't happen if he is not staring at his target allowing an unblocked Watt to slide to his right. Also, if Watt doesn't tip it, it most likely gets picked because he didn't alter the flight of the ball that much.

The Perfect Game
Living amidst the gritty poverty of 1957 Monterrey, Mexico, a rag-tag group of boys from the other side of the tracks discovers the joy of sandlot baseball under the guidance of Cesar, an aspiring major league coach thwarted by discrimination. Armed with the dream of playing a real Little League game, the young team members defy a total lack of resources, disapproving parents, and widespread prejudice to score their first Little League victory on U.S. soil and find themselves at the beginning of a once-in-a-lifetime journey. Relying on their religious faith, a warm-hearted priest and their love of the game, the nine players and their coach embark on an incredible, record-breaking winning streak that leads them across the border to southern Texas, and all the way to the 1957 Little League World Series in Williamsport, Penn., where a miracle will cement their place in history and change their lives forever. Based on the true story of the 1957 Monterrey Industrials Little League team, "The Perfect Game" is an inspiring and heartwarming tale of faith and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of overwhelming odds.

"High quality paper, which has a nice weight and feel. Perfect for those of us who did not get regular seasonal cards out on time."
"Love the quality of the paper. For the square designs, the "Happy New Year" greeting font could be smaller so that it doesn't overwhelm the main photo."
"I was so happy to see that TinyPrints had cards for the "Chinese"New Year! The card turned out beautifully, love that the horse is in the background. I am also always happy when there are multiple photo spots, as we have 4 kids and can never choose just one family photo. One small thing (which is why 3 stars for design): in China, we just say "Happy New Year". I think you could do the exact same card and just put Happy New Year. The horse and the chinese character will indicate what you mean. A small thing, but it was my pet peeve with all the "chinese" new year cards. But, again, so happy that they were available on Tiny Prints. Now, if you could just put them inside a red envelope to more closely resemble hong bao, it would be perfect!"
"This was a beautiful Chinese New Year Card. The colors were very vibrant and the horse design was there, but very subtle. Everyone that received the card was impressed. There are not many Chinese New Year Cards available."
"This card was the first of many for our family. Easy to personalize and the photo upload was a cinch. The paper quality and printing is excellent. I am a satisfied consumer for this product."

Is there any possible downside to accepting an invitation from Vincent Price to spend an evening in a creepy mansion that was built on something called "Haunted Hill?" If so, Mike, Kevin and Bill couldn't find it! In fact they were so eager to join Mr. Price and his terrifying moustache that they riffed the film live, on-stage, and now you can reap the rewards from the safety of home with this live show DVD!
Yes, horror classic House on Haunted Hill provides a mesmerizing walk down "people actually used to find this SCARY?!?" lane. Join the RiffTrax guys as they bring their special brand of rapid-fire comedic commentary to every skeleton-hanging-from-visible-wires, clumsy sexual overtone, and a stunningly inept test pilot whose "heroics" typically lead him to bloody his own nose after locking himself in a broom closet!
The guys are joined by guest riffer Paul F. Tompkins, comedy person extraordinaire and quite a snappy dresser to boot! They also riff two vintage, never-before-seen shorts live on-stage: Paper and I, in which a small boy is haunted by a talking paper bag, and Magical Disappearing Money, about a supermarket witch whose main concern is that you don't spend too much on rice. No, seriously, that's what they're really about!
Join Mike, Kevin, Bill, and Paul for an unforgetttable All Hallow's Eve of mind-melting comedy!

Phoenix, Ore. -- A judge sides with the City of Phoenix and the medical marijuana facility "The Greenery" will remain closed for now.
Basing his decision on federal law Jackson County Judge Ron D. Grensky approved a preliminary injunction against The Greenery.
"I think it was very important that we get The Greenery to stop operations, so the council doesn't feel any business can just do what they want," commented Phoenix Mayor Jeff Bellah, following the decision.
The operator of The Greenery, Andrea Adams also spoke after the proceedings, "It's not surprising, but I just believe the scheduling of cannabis on federal law is completely erroneous."
Adams went on to say her facility is not a dispensary, but a non-profit. She and Phoenix have spent months going head to head over operating in concurrence with the town's moratorium.
Monday was just another example of head butting. At times the arguments became heated.
The defense said the city's first moratorium does not use correct language... arguing that makes the ordinance invalid. Mayor Jeff Bellah admits there's a problem, "It's been a big learning curve for the city, we have to get much better."
But the prosecution argued, and the judge ultimately agreed, that despite problems with the moratorium language, The Greenery is still out of compliance.
The two hinge their decision on the Federal Substance Act.
"There are a lot of options and remedies to us outside this court as well," said Adams. She would not elaborate on what those other options may be.
A hearing will now be scheduled to decide if the injunction will become permanent. The Mayor of Phoenix says they are only seeking an injunction that lasts until their moratorium expires on May 1st of next year.

The commander of the Air Force's Air Mobility Command today stressed the high priority his service places on the KC-46A tanker aircraft program.
Air Force Gen. Paul J. Selva discussed progress with the program and stressed its priority in a meeting with Defense Writers Group reporters.
Air Force officials announced award of a $3.5 billion engineering and manufacturing development contract to Boeing for the new tanker in February 2011.
"I'm on the record saying that our No. 1 acquisition priority in AMC – and it remains the Air Force's No. 1 priority – is making sure the KC-46 tanker delivers on time, on cost," he said. "And because we have a firm fixed-price contract for the development of that airplane, if we allow ourselves to get into the position where we don't have the funds to pay for the initial development of the airplane, that contract gets reopened."
This would be a bad outcome for the Air Force and for the nation ?- in reverse order, Selva said.
"We'll pay more for the airplane than we know we have to based on the existing contract," he added.
The general said an initial round of site surveys for where the aircraft will be based has taken place, and the critical final design review is scheduled in July.
"We're in source selection for the simulator training devices, which means we're already started into the process of developing the curriculum and deciding how we're going to train the crews that operate the airplane," Selva said.
Selva said a recent decision will enable the Air Force to reap the new tanker's benefits faster than earlier plans projected.
"About six months ago, we finalized a decision to change the crew ratio on the airplane from two-and-a-half to three-and-a-half crews per airplane," he said. "[This] will allow us to use the airplane in greater volume earlier in its lifetime, because it's so much more efficient than the KC-135."
The KC-135 Stratotanker has provided the Air Force's core aerial refueling capability for more than 50 years.

What is a Total Solar Eclipse?
A total eclipse of the Sun occurs when the Moon passes directly in front of the Sun, blocking out its light. Although the entire eclipse can last a couple of hours, its spectacular total phase lasts only a few minutes.
The chances of observing a total solar eclipse from your backyard are very rare; Totality exists only along a narrow path on Earth's surface.
At any one spot on Earth, a total eclipse occurs only once every 385 years, on average!
Here are total solar eclipses visible from North America:
Total Eclipse Dates
- August 21, 2017. Makes a 185-mile-wide shadow across the continental United States from west to east.
- April 8, 2024. Visible in Canada's Maritime provinces.
- August 23, 2044. Begins at sunrise on the Montana border and move through the Canadian Prairie provinces toward the North Pole.
- August 12, 2045. The longest total phase in U.S. history—6 minutes, crossing from west to east!
- May 11, 2078 and May 1, 2079. These two solar eclipses will both be visible in the United States. In Canada, the second one will be visible only in the Maritime provinces.
- September 14, 2099. Visible in the north-central and mid-Atlantic states, and southwestern Canada.
See a map showing the paths of totality of upcoming solar eclipses at exploratorium.edu.
Tip: Never stare at the Sun without proper eye protection! You could cause permanent harm to your eyes.

text: Happening in the Le Moyne College Department of Security Welcome! - The primary function of the Campus Security is to offer an environment conducive to personal and academic development for students, staff and faculty through service and prevention. The office strives to achieve these goals through conspicuous and covert patrol, ethical and professional investigative procedures, education of the public and constant training of department personnel. It is the philosophy of Le Moyne College to prevent crimes from occurring, rather than react to them after the fact. A way to accomplish this goal is through the crime prevention program at the College. This program is designed to eliminate or minimize criminal opportunities, whenever possible, and encourage students and employees to be responsible for their own safety as well as the security of the others. The following is a the listing of the crime prevention programs and projects used by Le Moyne College: Escort Program: An escort service is offered between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m., seven days a week, for persons going between all Le Moyne College-owned properties. New Student Orientation: A crime prevention presentation accompanied by brochures and other printed material, are made available to all new students during orientation weekend. Campus Watch Program: Crime prevention and safety presentations, accompanied by brochures and other printed material, are made to resident and commuter students. Security Surveys: Comprehensive inspections of exterior lighting, exterior doors and grounds are conducted by the director of campus security each year. Operation Identification: The engraving of serial numbers or owner numbers on items of value takes place at a designated time and place on campus. Crime Prevention Publicity: Crime prevention articles and materials are routinely published in the weekly campus newspaper. Rape Awareness, Education and Prevention: In cooperation with the Student Life Development and the Center for Personal Growth and Counseling, presentations are made each year to the members of the campus community to promote their awareness of rape, acqauintance rape, and other forceable and non-forceable sex offenses.

Off-Grid Vacation Home In California's Gold Country
The home, located near Murphys, CA, is split into two 875 sq ft buildings – one for living and the other for sleeping. The buildings are sited for views as well as the prevailing breezes which come up from the canyon below and ventilate through the gap. Large overhangs protect the buildings from the sun during the summer, and north facing, operable, low-e windows and skylights maximize daylight. The overhangs and arbors feature foil backing to reflect the hot summer sun and a solar-powered roof expels the hot air captured inside.
Structural slabs provide radiant heat and the home is largely built from SIPs, which provide both insulation and structure. Water is pumped from an onsite well up to a storage tank and gravity fed down into the house. The siding and soffits are natural cedar and have been treated with a penetrating oil. All paint is low-VOC and the floors are polished concrete.
A courtyard out in front of the two buildings provides a protected space to rest and play. The residents of the home come out to the country to vacation and relax in their retreat, and when they need to work or choose to stay longer, they rely on satellite internet to get things done.

This home is quite stunning, with amazing views. I like how the design incorporated natural lighting and propane to reduce the carbon footprint. Green building construction is a huge industry, especially in California. I like to stay current on green buildings and sustainable construction which is why I use McGraw Hill's California Construction site. It has a ton of information on construction news, and projects happening in California. While I do some occasional work for McGraw Hill, their construction website has been a favorite of mine long before we started working together. If you are like me, and enjoy staying up-to-date on construction news, check out their website.

Just heard that AJ Hawk was released by GB. He was going to make 10 million next season if GB were to keep him.
Quick question, would the chiefs have to pick up the 10 million?
If not, I think he'd look good next to DJ. He's not spectacular but very solid and smart.
I'm sure they released him to resign him to a new contract.

He will be back in Green Bay but I can't say I don't have a dream of the Chiefs getting him
Already reading reports that he's signed a new 5 year deal.

The only way that AJ Hawk will be a Chief next season is in Madden now. It would have been cool if he was signed by the Chiefs though.

He was at least a chief in this chiefs fans dreams for a few hours that counts right???

Dryness of the skin tends to produce a host of other problems including a tight and uncomfortable sensation, sensitivity to products and the environment as well as a rough texture on the skin's surface. The La Roche Posay Nutritic line was specially designed just for dry skin types that are suffering from the effects of lack of moisture in the skin. La Roche Posay Nutritic helps restore the natural lipid barrier which protects the skin from dryness as well as other problems. Not only does La Roche Posay Nutritic deeply moisturize dry skin but it also allows the skin to improve its own defenses so that is less susceptible to common ailments.
La Roche Posay Nutritic boosts the skin's ability to retain moisture. As moisture stays within the layers of the skin, the dermis becomes soft and supple. Strong and hydrated skin is less irritable and more able to tolerate external elements. La Roche Posay Nutritic helps promote a comfortable and balanced complexion with regular use. La Roche Posay Nutritic is particularly beneficial to irritable skin that tends to react to common creams and lotions. La Roche Posay Nutritic is an extra gentle line that calms and smoothes as it restores essential hydration to thirsty skin.
Dry skin can bring a host of problems like uncomfortable tightness, roughness, redness and sensitivity. La Roche Posay Nutritic offers products that work to restore moisture to overly dry skin and promote a healthy skin barrier.
La Roche Posay Nutritic Ultra Fine Cream addresses all of the issues of dry skin. As the treatment cream begins to restore moisture and lipids, the skin softens and becomes more resilient, calm and balanced. The overall skin barrier is strengthened which improves the overall health of the skin. La Roche Posay Nutritic Ultra Fine Cream protects the skin against environmental factors which can aggravate sensitive skin and lead to further problems.
For those wanting a lighter texture with the same benefits of the La Roche Posay Nutritic Ultra Fine Cream, there's La Roche Posay Nutritic Ultra Fine Emulsion that is quickly absorbed into the skin to provide relief to dry skin without leaving a heavy feel.
Most people suffer from dry, cracked and chapped lips at some point but many lip treatments do little to offer a long-term solution. La Roche Posay Nutritic Lips was developed to address the most common issues of the lips; chapping, stinging, sensitivity and thinning of the lip tissue. La Roche Posay Nutritic Lips plumps up the lip tissue with moisture rich in natural oils to restore comfort and softness as well as protect the lips against environmental assailants. The non-greasy consistency is very pleasant, making the product suitable for use anywhere. The lips are left nourished and healthier.

Julio Valentin, 21, spits flaming gasoline for tips on a busy street in Queretaro as his 19-year-old wife and 4-year-old child wait nearby. "If we're here all day, we get 200 or 300 pesos," he said. That's roughly equivalent to $16 to $24. Valentin says he has a brother who lives in Nashville. Even though Queretaro is one of the most prosperous cities in Mexico — a center for higher education and manufacturing — many street vendors and performers, including breakdancers and magicians, hustle to earn a living.
A hand grenade punched this softball-size hole in the sidewalk outside a police outpost station in Celaya in the Mexican state of Guanajuato. The November 2009 attack was blamed on criminal organizations trying to terrorize authorities in this town, just a 25-minute drive from Queretaro, a city known for a low crime rate. Mexico's drug gangs maintain a leg up on the authorities through a combination of violence and corruption.

A 20-year-old drug rehab patient curls into a fetal position as part of a relaxation exercise in a morning yoga class at Clinica Vida, a high-end treatment center in Queretaro state. He says he financed his use of cocaine and other drugs by stealing from a safe that belonged to his father, a businessman. Mexican drug cartels have increased sales within the interior of the country, but most addicts can't afford to go to clinics like this, where a stay can cost as much as $5,400. The clinic director says they sometimes don't charge.
Boys walk by an armed official in Celaya in the Mexican state of Guanajuato, near the place where two grenades were hurled at a police outpost in November 2009. No one was hurt. Celaya is much more dangerous than Queretaro, which has a reputation for safety and is only 25 minutes away by car. Some say the difference is that drug cartels have agreed to keep Queretaro safe.

Suspected members of the Zetas, an armed group, lie dead following a June 26, 2009, shootout with police in Apaseo el Alto in Guanajuato state, central Mexico, not far from where Memphian Craig Petties was arrested in January 2008. Authorities said police killed 12 gunmen that day in a clash in which criminals used assault rifles and grenades. Police later discovered a mass grave where more bodies were hidden.
The January 2008 arrest of Craig Petties in the Mexican city of Queretaro made headlines there. This image is from Noticias newspaper in Queretaro.
Mario McNeil, 34, killed March 16, 2007 A gunman walked into Divine Wings and Bar at 3279 Kirby Parkway and fired several shots, fatally wounding McNeil and hitting another man. Authorities say Petties and others saw McNeil as a threat. An affidavit says McNeil died because he owed money to the group.
Antonio Allen, 32, killed April 21, 2002 Allen was shot several times as he sat in his car at 178 West Dison. Petties and others allegedly believed Allen was cooperating with law enforcement.
Mario Stewart, 28, killed March 22, 2005 Stewart was shot in his garage at 4827 Callaway Hills while his young children were in the house. Authorities say Stewart died because he was a federal informant.
Latrell Small, 32, killed around Aug. 9, 2004 Small was found shot dead in a car at 6040 Black Raven in Hickory Hill. Authorities believe Small's killing was in retaliation for the non-fatal shooting of a member of the Petties organization.
Kalonji Griffin, 25, killed around Aug. 9, 2004 Griffin was in the car with Latrell Small and was killed along with him.
Marcus Turner, 30, killed around Sept. 27, 2006 Craig Petties allegedly ordered Turner kidnapped because he believed Turner knew where to find a man who had stolen cocaine from the organization. Turner's nude body was found in a ditch in Olive Branch.
This family photo shows Lucy Turner and her son Marcus Turner, one of six men whose killings have been attributed to the Craig Petties drug organization. Lucy Turner says people shouldn't follow her son into the illegal drug trade. "It's fast money, but it's here today and gone tomorrow. You end up dead or paralyzed for life or in jail."
Marcus Turner (center) poses for album art for a recording by rap group Grenade Posse. He was later kidnapped and killed by the Craig Petties drug organization, according to law enforcement. Some of the group's lyrics make references to drug trafficking. "Loose lips, they sink ships / especially when you're state to state."
Lucy Turner's son, Marcus Turner, is one of six men whose murders have been attributed to the Craig Petties organization. She believes that before her son died, he was trying to change. "I think that he was getting out of the dope business because I could see the change in him," Lucy Turner said. "He wasn't going the same places he used to go to."
Interstate 40 is a major route for cartels moving cash and drugs throughout the country, and officials with the Interstate Criminal Interdiction Unit try to catch them. Sgt.

CLEVELAND -- The odds of beating life-threatening illnesses, like cancer, improve every day thanks to medical breakthroughs. While there is no substitute for health, there's also no denying medical treatment can come at a heavy financial cost.
Community fundraisers, like spaghetti dinners and other events, still help those struggling. But today, social media has spawned "crowd-funding" to tackle medical bills. The fundraising sites can help, as long as you know what you are doing.
Shane Brandt turned to crowdfunding site, GoFundMe, after his good friend Andras Ponti was diagnosed with stage IV testicular cancer. Shane knew moral support was one way he could help Andras, but wanted to do more.
"A friend at school told me about GoFundMe, and I went to look it up," Shane explained.
GoFundMe is one of a growing number of so-called "crowdfunding" sites that help people raise money for everything from community projects, start-up businesses, to paying for medical bills.
Shane created a page for Andras in just a matter of minutes. "I woke up the next day and I checked it and there was like $150 donated," Shane said.
Website GiveForward claims medical costs are the number one reason for bankruptcy in the United States and estimates that $2.8 billion was raised by all types of crowdfunding websites last year.
GoFundMe CEO Brad Damphousse says the category for illness and medical expenses is the fastest on growing option on his site.
Users can set up a page, tell their story about a need for money, and through a network and friends and social media contacts, get the word out.
If their story strikes a chord with visitors, the dollars can pour in.
Such is the case of Ariella Barker, a Cleveland native who raised more than $25,000 in one day for treatment of a rare illness she contracted while visiting Israel several years ago.
Barker says most of the donations on her GoFundMe page came from complete strangers.
The trend of personalized charitable fund-raising is now a topic in Professor Jenna Drenten's class at John Carroll University.
"It's really important to build those personal connections. It can't be sort of a blanket 'hey, everyone give me money,'" Professor Drenten says, explaining the more specific a story or a cause, typically the more money is raised.
"It's really important to say this is going for this treatment or this particular surgery or this round of chemo," Professor Drenten added.
Before you choose a site you need to do some homework.
Today, Andras Ponti is cancer-free and back at school. He is forever thankful for the friends and strangers who have helped him.
"Support is everything when you're battling cancer. You just want to focus on the positives that I've made it this far. I've beat everything so far," Andras says.
Here are a list of popular crowdfunding sites:

Sierra Club Launches New Campaign: Obama Climate Legacy
Kicks off 100 Days of Action for climate solutions and clean energy
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today the Sierra Club launched a new
campaign demanding that President Obama make the fight against climate
disruption a priority in his second term. The "Obama
Climate and Clean Energy Legacy Campaign" will bring the
organization's 2.1 million members and supporters together to push the Obama
administration to tackle the most serious environmental crisis of our age.
"President Obama's
second term will be a pivotal four years in the fight against climate
disruption," said Michael Brune,
executive director of the Sierra Club. "In his victory speech, the
President invited a national climate conversation, but we also need swift,
decisive action to prevent more erratic weather, superstorms and wildfires."
"As we make critical decisions about how we power our nation
and what kind of place we'll leave for our children and grandchildren, the
Sierra Club will push President Obama to define his legacy with bold climate
solutions and clean energy innovation," said Brune. "Climate disruption
is the singular issue of our time for anyone who cares about clean air, clean
water and a safe future for our families."
To demonstrate the urgency of its demands, the Sierra Club
launched "100 Days of Action on Climate," a series of local and national
actions focused on bringing climate disruption to the forefront of the national
conversation and pressing the President to be a leader in the climate fight.
During this period -- spanning the President's Inauguration through Earth Day
-- allies and activists from around the country will host events ranging from
inauguration watch parties in New Mexico, to a national climate rally on
Presidents Day weekend in DC, to town hall meetings across the nation, highlighting
the broad support from Americans for fighting the climate crisis.
The Sierra Club outlined five key actions that the Obama
administration must take to curb the country's carbon emissions and address
climate disruption. The actions include:
1. Hold fossil fuel corporations
accountable for their pollution
2. Reject proposals to import dirty fuels and stop the
rush of fossil fuel exports
3. Double down on clean energy
4. Protect communities from future
climate disasters and readying a robust and just response
5. Protect America's lands, air,
water and wildlife from fossil fuel development
"When our children and grandchildren look back at the
climate crisis, what will President Obama's legacy be?" asked Brune.
"The American people recognize the impact of extreme weather on their
communities and the ever-greater threat climate disruption poses to their
children's future. President Obama deserves credit for improving vehicle
efficiency standards, creating incentives for clean energy, and passing
historic clean air protections. We are, as a nation, slowly beginning to
succeed against climate disruption, and we must do everything we can to ensure
that President Obama and the federal agencies he leads roll up their sleeves
and increase the momentum. We cannot afford to lose a minute in this fight.
It's time that we finally establish our American climate legacy."

All American Derby a Record
All American Derby to set a record, Ochoa goes for all-time earnings record.
August 27, 2012
It's all about champion Ochoa and money in this Sunday's All American Derby (G1) at Ruidoso Downs.
First, if Ochoa (Tres Seis-Stolis Fortune by Stoli) takes the $938,506 first-place check then he becomes the all-time-leading money-earning American Quarter Horse.
Second, that $938,506 is the biggest chunk of the largest purse ever offered a 3-year-old or older American Quarter Horse in a single race. The entire purse is $2,234,539 and that demolishes the previous record for the All American Derby and the former record for a 3-year-old or older quarter horse race — $1,548,685 set in the 2010 All American Derby.
The winner of last year's All American Futurity (G1), Ochoa has earned $1,645,736 and the All American Derby winner's share would skyrocket his earnings to $2,584,242. The current earnings record is $2,235,161, held by former world champion and 2008 All American Futurity winner Stolis Winner.
And, just to consider, Ochoa was repurchased at the Ruidoso Select Yearling Sale at $25,000. Another $5,000 might have got him bought.
Co-owned by breeder Johnny T.L. Jones Jr.'s J Bar 7 Ranch at Quanah, Texas, with Monte and Katsy Cluck and Douglas Benson, Ochoa put himself in position to get the earnings record with wins in last year's All American Futurity and this year's Rainbow Derby (G1).
Ochoa's win in the $2,400,000 All American Futurity put $1,200,000 in his bank account and earned him the champion 2-year-old and champion 2-year-old gelding titles. The Sleepy Gilbreath-trained gelding picked up another $379,586 from the July 21 Rainbow Derby purse of $903,744.
The All American Futurity and Rainbow Derby wins were both at 440 yards and both were a result of a late charge to the wire. But they differed. In the All American Futurity, Ochoa simply sprinted away from the field to win by 1 1/2 lengths. In the Rainbow Derby, he charged between horses to get up and win by a head.
After the Rainbow Derby, Ochoa's next start was in the August 17 All American Derby trials. The first three trials were run on a fast track and in the sunshine, but then it poured and Ochoa was in the eighth trial. Even with the rain and the off track, Ochoa shined. He won by 1 3/4 lengths in :21.431, the sixth-fastest time with each of the five faster times coming in the first three — and dry — trials.
Now Ochoa must earn the Derby win. He lines up against field of proven stakes horses.
Bill Price's homebred fastest-qualifier BPS Jumpin Frisco (Jumpn-Frisco Fling by Dash For Cash) won the first trial in :21.277. Jumpin Frisco put together a respectable stakes run at Remington Park this spring, with a close second in the March 18 Mr Jet Moore Stakes and then third-place finishes in the April 14 Remington Park Oklahoma-Bred Derby (R) and the May 26 Heritage Place Derby (G2).
James Sills and Abel Flores' A Toss Up (Sweet First Down-Shake Cartel by Corona Cartel) is another Oklahoma invader. The gelding impressed when he won the Remington Derby and then stepped up and beat older Oklahoma-breds in the April 28 Sooner State Stakes (RG1). He continued his success against older horses at Ruidoso Downs when he was a close second behind JD Baccarat in the July 1 Higheasterjet Handicap (G3). A $50,000 supplemental nominee to enter the All American Derby trials, A Toss Up finished in a dead heat with Hez Our Secret (First Down Dash-Secret Separation by Separatist) and they share the third-fastest time of :21.383.
Johnny Trotter's Hez Our Secret became ill after qualifying for last year's Rainbow Futurity (G1) but then was able to return last winter and race to a fourth-place finish in the in the $2,236,000 Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity (G1). The Blane Wood-trained colt scored his first win from three starts this summer at Ruidoso Downs when he finished on even terms with A Toss Up in their trial.
The All American Derby winner receives an invitation to the $750,000 Champion Of Champions (G1) in December at Los Alamitos. Already in the Champion Of Champions and currently stabled at Los Alamitos is reigning world champion Cold Cash 123, who was trained by Gilbreath before heading west a few weeks ago.
Looking ahead at possibilities, Cold Cash 123 is the top-ranked horse in the AQHA-Horseplayernow.com national poll and Ochoa is No. 2. If they both are in the Champion of Champions, it is possible that the two stablemates, who lived just a few stalls apart at Ruidoso Downs this summer could meet over 440 yards, their favorite distance, with the world title on the line.

What knowledge does it take to develop an Android app?
How easy is it to publish one in the app market?
I was thinking of trying one once I have a more firm grasp on Java. What skills should I focus on to meet that goal?
Is it a long-shot to think I could develop an app like a photo editor (which I already can in Java) in the near future with intermediate Java experience, or are apps more for small teams or commercial software firms?
This question serves as a personal to-do list on what to learn. I would like to develop an Android app in the near future from which I could make money.

New results from NASA's Curiosity rover are painting a curious picture of the planet's methane. The level of the gas found in the Gale Crater is less than expected, based on prediction models. But every once in a while, it spikes. NASA scientists believe that means that the gas is being produced somewhere nearby — though they aren't sure where or how.
