Hats & Caps
Please try broadening your selection by deselecting or clearing the filters on the left.
Slipping on a hat is a good way of keeping the elements in check. During colder conditions, your main aim is to keep warm – putting on an under-helmet hat, which is designed to fit comfortably under you lid, will keep both your ears and scalp warm. If you just want to keep the biting wind from your face, we have face masks and ear warmers. Roadies can go for a pro look with a cycling cap. With all the top names like Gore Bike Wear and Castelli, – look the business when you're stopping for a mid-ride refuel.

ok, i have watched a zillion videos of people using forges to bend, and manipulate metal. say i have horshoes and want to twist and bend them, would a forge be cheaper than a tank setup? imo a torch setup may be cheaper because i can turn the torch gas off when not being used, as a forge would run most of the day of propane i guess....can anyone clear this up for me?

oxy/acet torch VS. forge?
Depends how much bending and twisting you want done.
For small isolated bends or twists on a single piece your better off using a O/A torch
Forges are used if you want to manipulate a larger peice or if you have multiple pieces to do at once.
Propane forges are cheaper to run by the hour but like you said with the o/a torch you can turn it on and off more easily.
I have both but for general welding a fabrication needs, o/a torch should be the higher priority

I have a bypass valve on my forge so when your not needing it you just turn a gas shutoff valve off and the gas goes through a needle valve around the shutoff at 1 psi so it keeps the forge going but uses almost no gas. A propane forge is much cheaper to run as opposed to O/A.Miller syncrowave 200 runner with coolmate 4

Race Report - Gearzy Rider Josh Galster
NEWS March 23, 2012
(March 22, 2012) - Daytona was the first race of the 2012 AMA Pro Road Racing season, March 15-17th. The Daytona 200 is the only race on the AMA Pro series where the riders race the banking of Daytona along with the infield for 200 miles, 57 laps. This event is typically a challenging race because it's the first race of the year, the bikes are new, along with some of the teams, the tires are quite different, and it's an endurance race of 200 miles. But I completed the race and finished 21st, just missing out on the top 20.
After a long night Wednesday working on the bike, we got on the track Thursday morning for practice. After only 4 laps, i got taken out coming into Turn 1. Another rider and I were running side by side through the tri-oval when he came across my front tire and squeezed me to the inside. We made contact and i went sliding through Turn 1 along with my bike. We hustled to get the damaged parts replaced and I got back out for second practice, but we were testing fuel consumption and misfigured and I ran out and had to come in, shortening my practice time. We changed tires for qualifying which I liked as that gave me more grip, but I couldn't ever get hooked up with a good draft and ended up qualifying poorly, having to start 33rd of 46.
I had an okay start, but had to get through a bunch of riders to get to a faster pack. Once I made my way forward I hooked up with a fast group and had a blast drafting, passing, and battling with about 6 riders. We pitted twice for new rear tires and fuel and did okay with those. Drafting is so important and for much of the middle stint of the race I was without anyone to work with and pushed my own air for a lot of laps. I was able to work my way up and gained 12 positions. Near the end there was a small group to run with and I set myself up to draft toward the finish, just missing out on 20th by .084 of second.
Daytona is in the books and it's time to get the bike ready for Road Atlanta. I look forward to seeing you there. Make sure to come by the Gearzy pit and say Hi!!
Overall, it was a really good weekend and i'm excited for the rest of the season. I especially want to thank Billy from Gearzy; Zach Gordon; Ben Fox; the Gearzy riders and crew; Colin Harmer; Jon Cornwell; James McHarge, an instructor from Lincoln Technologies, for making the endurance tank; the Klepper family; Alan from ADD Crusher; the Dimick crew; along with EDR Performance; Grandprix Motorsports and gpguns.com; Perfect Motors Brazil; California Superbike School; Arai helmets; KFG racing; and all the fans and my family.

An investigational drug is one that is under study and is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for sale in the United States. Medical research studies are conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug. These research studies are also called clinical trials. Once an investigational drug has been proven safe and effective in clinical trials, FDA may approve the drug for sale in the United States.
SB-728-T is categorized as an investigational gene therapy product. Gene therapy is an experimental technique that uses genes (short sections of genetic material) to treat or prevent disease. SB-728-T is a gene therapy product that involves modifying a gene in CD4 T cells, a type of immune cell that HIV attacks and destroys. By modifying the gene, SB-728-T can potentially prevent HIV from entering and infecting the CD4 T cells.3,4
One way that HIV enters and infects CD4 T cells is by attaching to a specific protein—called a CCR5 receptor—on the CD4 T cell surface. In some people, the CCR5 receptor is naturally genetically modified. People with this gene modification are more resistant to infection with the most common strain of HIV. SB-728-T treatment modifies the gene responsible for the CCR5 receptor and makes the CCR5 receptor non-functional. By modifying the CCR5 gene, SB-728-T potentially eliminates one way for the most common type of HIV to attach to and infect CD4 T cells.4,5
Production of SB-728-T begins by collecting CD4 T cells from an HIV-infected person. The cells are sent to a laboratory where they are genetically modified to make the CCR5 receptors non-functional. The cells are then stimulated to produce many more CD4 T cells with non-functional CCR5 receptors. Finally, the CD4 T cells are infused back into the person. This treatment may give HIV-infected individuals a population of CD4 T cells that are permanently resistant to HIV strains that use the CCR5 receptor for entering CD4 T cells. The modified CD4 T cells may also reproduce additional HIV-resistant CD4 T cells in the body.3-5
SB-728-T is being studied for its ability to restore immune function and as a possible strategy to cure HIV.3,4,6,7
Clinical trials are conducted in phases. Each phase has a different purpose and helps researchers answer different questions.8
SB-728-T is being studied in Phase I/II clinical trials.2
Below is information about two Phase I/II studies related to SB-728-T. The studies are known by their identification numbers: SB-728-0902 and SB-728-1101.
This study investigated the safety of SB-728-T and its effects on the immune system and HIV. All study participants were HIV-infected and had taken HIV medicines before entering the study (also called treatment-experienced participants). The study participants were assigned to five separate groups. Below is information about each of the groups.4,9
Groups 1 to 3: At the start of the study, all participants in Groups 1 to 3 had undetectable viral loads. (Viral load is a measure of the amount of HIV in the blood.) However, their CD4 counts were below desirable levels. (CD4 count is a measure of the number of CD4 T cells in the blood, which shows how well the immune system is working.) Participants in all three groups received a single intravenous (IV) infusion of SB-728-T, but in different amounts. Group 1 participants received the least amount of SB-728-T, and Group 3 participants received the greatest amount of SB-728-T. Participants continued to take their antiretroviral therapy (ART) throughout the study.4,10
Results for Groups 1 to 3 showed that SB-728-T treatment provided long-term increases in CD4 counts. Also, long-term improvement in CD4 counts appeared to be associated with reductions in participants' latent HIV reservoirs. (Latent HIV reservoirs are resting CD4 cells or other cells that are infected with HIV but not actively producing HIV. Because the HIV "hidden" in the reservoirs is inactive, ART has no effect on it.) This study also identified certain immune factors that may have a role in determining how well a person responds to SB-728-T.10
Group 4: Participants in this group were not responding to their ART regimens (HIV was still at detectable levels in their blood). Results for this group are not yet available.4
Group 5: Before starting the study, Group 5 participants had normal CD4 counts and undetectable viral load levels. They also had one CCR5 gene that was already naturally modified; their other CCR5 gene was not modified. Participants received a single IV infusion of SB-728-T to modify the second CCR5 gene. Two months later, participants underwent a structured treatment interruption of ART. (A structured treatment interruption is a planned break from treatment, for example, ART. Structured interruption of ART is not recommended outside of clinical trials.) The structured interruption of ART was scheduled to last 16 weeks, but the exact length of the interruption depended on each participant's viral load level and/or CD4 cell count.4,9
Results for Group 5 showed that three out of seven participants responded to SB-728-T treatment and had reductions in viral load during the structured interruption of ART. Two out of the three responders were able to control their viral load at or near undetectable levels while off ART. Out of the two participants who had undetectable viral loads while off ART, one had undetectable viral load levels for at least 14 weeks of the structured interruption. (The structured interruption of ART was still ongoing for this participant.) Three other participants, however, did not respond to SB-728-T treatment and either stopped the structured interruption early because of increased viral load or had no change in viral load at Week 16 of the structured interruption. One other participant had very little change in viral load at Week 16 of the structured interruption, but had not stopped the structured interruption of ART and was still being evaluated.6
This study looked at whether treating HIV-infected participants with IV cyclophosphamide (an FDA-approved drug for treating cancer) before they received SB-728-T could help to increase numbers of CD4 T cells in the body. Investigators also looked at how cyclophosphamide given before SB-728-T affected viral load levels during structured interruption of ART. All participants were treatment-experienced and had undetectable viral loads and normal CD4 counts before starting this study. The study compared three different strengths of cyclophosphamide given prior to SB-728-T treatment.7,11
In the SB-728-1101 study, cyclophosphamide helped to increase CD4 T cells in the body, including the SB-728-T-modified CD4 T cells. The higher doses of cyclophosphamide resulted in greater numbers of CD4 T cells in the body. In participants receiving the highest dose of cyclophosphamide, their levels of SB-728-T-modified CD4 T cells were comparable to levels that resulted in unmeasurable viral load during structured interruption of ART in people who had one CCR5 gene already naturally modified. Some participants in the SB-728-1101 study had viral load reductions during the structured interruption of ART.11
Additional Phase I and Phase I/II studies of SB-728-T have been completed.12,13
In the SB-728-0902 study discussed under the previous question, SB-728-T was associated with some mild, reversible, infusion-related side effects.14
In a Phase I study, one serious side effect related to SB-728-T infusion was reported.12
Because SB-728-T is still being studied, information on possible side effects of the drug is not complete. As testing of SB-728-T continues, additional information on possible side effects will be gathered.
More information about SB-728-T-related research studies is available from the AIDSinfo database of ClinicalTrials.gov study summaries. Click on the title of any trial in the list to see the ClinicalTrials.gov trial summary and more information about the study.
Participating in a clinical trial can provide benefits. For example, a volunteer participant can benefit from new research treatments before they are widely available. Participants also receive regular and careful medical attention from a research team that includes doctors and other health professionals. However, clinical trials may also involve risks of varying degrees, such as unpleasant, serious, or even life-threatening side effects from the treatment being studied.8

HG2 A hedonist's guide to... The UK's best-selling luxury city guide.
Miami Map
Everything we love in Miami
Explore the city by district:
Coral Gables
South Beach North
South Beach South
Miami, as the media portrays her, is a peacock. Brilliantly-hued, confident and slightly outlandish, she is the tropical vacation queen of the U.S. and the well-dressed belle of the ball. The faces of fashionistas and Latin American businessmen are animated as they speak of her, longing to be warmed by her gaze and her heat, and envious of her life of designer shows, dusk-to-dawn club-hopping, elegant dinners and potent drinks with VVVIPs. No one wants to remember that when the lights are turned off and everyone goes home, she reverts to her 'real' self. She removes the showy plumage she attached earlier, and so stripped, the peahen is as drab as can be (the peacock, after all, is the male, and yes, cross-dressing is not a foreign concept here).
You've heard the phrase 'the town that never sleeps' a thousand times before, but this is the one time when you should take it seriously. Shops and restaurants stay open until eleven and beyond, and bars are open until the small hours. If it's nightclubs - open until noon! - luxury cars, magnificent boats and beautiful people with huge egos you crave, you have certainly come to the right place.
But if you were expecting Americana in all its glory, prepare to be disappointed; Miami is a place where you could quite happily get by without speaking a word of English. The city is a teeming mass of ethnic groups that create an eclectic Euro–Latin fusion, with the Latin component encompassing Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Dominicans, Peruvians, Brazilians, Argentineans and of course Cubans (Latinos make up around two-thirds of the city population, and Cubans account for about half of that figure). And in fact, what many take to be Miami is actually an amalgam of separate cities. Miami (of Downtown) and Miami Beach (from the glitzy reputation of South Beach) are two entirely different entities whose residents view each other with healthy scepticism. Miami Beach-goers believe Miamians to be lower-class, boring workaholics who pale beside their fire and glamour; Miamians think of themselves as authentic strivers who live with integrity, and those who live on the island as silly (but richer) pretenders; the citizens of Coral Gables, meanwhile, largely stay out of the fray, cocooned in their mostly upscale, refined community of business-folk and trophy wives worthy of a reality series.
Besides the stream of Cuban (and other) immigrants that have arrived in waves over the past fifty years, Miami's growth has also been shaped, in one way or another, by the effects of drug trafficking. Originally, it was a positive of sorts, stemming from the Prohibition era when lax enforcement of the ban on liquor led to an influx of people, and the beachfront became home to gambling, drinking and licentiousness. However, it also led to a real estate boom in the 1920s, during which cities sprung up and building projects came together as investment flooded in. But this increase in land value was entirely artificial, and the movement was felled by the Great Florida Hurricane of 1926, the stock market crash of 1929 and the ensuing Great Depression. Many years later, controllers of South and Central America's source of cocaine and marijuana realised they had direct, clear access to Miami thanks to the lengthy beachfront and extreme southern location, and in the 1980s the city became a magnet for drug runners. The drug enforcement agencies, however, cracked down on dealing and deliveries. Finally the city began a big clean-up and models and celebrities returned in force. But drugs continued to be a major influence on life in Miami until the 1990s. Films such as Scarface (1983) and the Miami Vice television series of the same era paint a pretty accurate, if somewhat glamourised, version of how life was.
But that's ancient history. Today, commercially, Miami means banking, and the city continues to develop its reputation as a financial centre and as a link that connects the U.S. with South America and the Caribbean. And international trade through MIA and the Port of Miami is crucial to the city's health. But as evidenced by the 11.6 million guests that spent more than $16.6 billion in the area in 2009, tourism remains one of Miami's top industries, as visitors come from all over the world to sample her sunshine, indulge in her exciting restaurants and party in some of her brightest nightspots.

Two delegations of Loyola Marymount University faculty members have raised the university's international profile on trips made last summer to Uruguay and Italy. Planned trips by faculty to Cuba and South Africa in the coming summer will further strengthen ties with overseas universities.
"We are internationalizing the LMU curriculum," said Cheryl Grills, associate dean of Bellarmine College of Liberal Arts and coordinator of the efforts to connect with overseas universities. "Our students and faculty will definitely benefit from the multi-lens perspective that comes from expanding our cultural horizons."
The delegations met with faculty at Universidad Católica de Uruguay in Montevideo, Uruguay, and Lorenzo de Medici University in Florence,
Italy. The professors who went to Uruguay represented the Departments of Sociology, Psychology, and Modern Languages and Literature. The Italian delegation consisted of professors from Theological Studies, Modern Languages and Literature, Art and Art History and Jewish Studies.
"The trip to Montevideo went really well," said Anna Muraco, associate professor of sociology. "We met with several of the faculty at UCU and they were eager to set up a collaboration."
The connections are subject driven, said David Rogoff, administrative assistant for the Bioethics Institute and who assists Grills with the logistics of coordinating schedules and travel arrangements.
Some of the professors who took the trip are now modifying their courses to incorporate cooperation with a professor overseas and others are developing new courses that will include travel to the other campuses.
"I'm developing a course for spring 2014 for LMU students to conduct oral histories with older adults in conjunction with students at UCU," Muraco said. The course, by incorporating a global perspective, will give LMU students an opportunity for hands-on sociological research.
The planned trip to Cuba will include faculty from Psychology, Urban Planning, Theology, History, and School of Film and Television.
The international outreach complements the full offering of Study Abroad courses and the several courses that incorporate travel or an international component, such as the Jewish Studies summer course in Poland, the Asia and Pacific Studies' course in media taught at LMU and via Internet in Abu Dhabi by Tom Plate, Distinguished Scholar of Asian and Pacific Studies, and the Berlin and Prague programs in the School of Film and Television.

Climate Change
Future Climate Change
On This Page
- Increasing greenhouse gas concentrations will have many effects
- Future Ice, Snowpack, and Permafrost
- Future Temperature Changes
Key Points
- Continued emissions of greenhouse gases will lead to further climate changes. Future changes are expected to include a warmer atmosphere, a warmer and more acidic ocean, higher sea levels, and larger changes in precipitation patterns.
- The extent of future climate change depends on what we do now to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The more we emit, the larger future changes will be.
Increasing greenhouse gas concentrations will have many effects
Greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere will continue to increase unless the billions of tons of our annual emissions decrease substantially. Increased concentrations are expected to:
- Increase Earth's average temperature
- Influence the patterns and amounts of precipitation
- Reduce ice and snow cover, as well as permafrost
- Raise sea level
- Increase the acidity of the oceans
These changes will impact our food supply, water resources, infrastructure, ecosystems, and even our own health .
This slideshow describes some of the projected climate change impacts to key sectors, among other topics.
Related Links
Future changes will depend on many factors
The magnitude and rate of future climate change will primarily depend on the following factors:
- The rate at which levels of greenhouse gas concentrations in our atmosphere continue to increase
- How strongly features of the climate (e.g., temperature, precipitation, and sea level) respond to the expected increase in greenhouse gas concentrations
- Natural influences on climate (e.g., from volcanic activity and changes in the sun's intensity) and natural processes within the climate system (e.g., changes in ocean circulation patterns)
Scientists use computer models of the climate system to better understand these issues and project future climate changes.
Past and present-day greenhouse gas emissions will affect climate far into the future
Many greenhouse gases stay in the atmosphere for long periods of time. As a result, even if emissions stopped increasing, atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations would continue to increase and remain elevated for hundreds of years. Moreover, if we stabilized concentrations and the composition of today's atmosphere remained steady (which would require a dramatic reduction in current greenhouse gas emissions), surface air temperatures would continue to warm. This is because the oceans, which store heat, take many decades to fully respond to higher greenhouse gas concentrations. The ocean's response to higher greenhouse gas concentrations and higher temperatures will continue to impact climate over the next several decades to hundreds of years. [1] [2]
To learn more about greenhouse gases, please visit the Greenhouse Gas Emissions page and the Greenhouse Effect section of the Causes of Climate Change page.
Because it is difficult to project far-off future emissions and other human factors that influence climate, scientists use a range of scenarios using various assumptions about future economic, social, technological, and environmental conditions. The slideshow above provides more information on these scenarios in the "Estimating the Future" section.
Climate Models and Scenarios
Projecting future climate change requires estimating future greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, among other factors. Models use estimates of future GHG concentrations to project resulting temperature increases and other changes in the climate system.

Scientists have varying degrees of confidence in the assessment and projection of climate change impacts.
Scientists are confident that humans are contributing significantly to observed warming
Measurements collected by scientists are sufficiently accurate to describe large-scale changes in climate that have occurred, including changes in temperature over the last century. Although it is difficult to say exactly how much warming was caused by humans, many lines of evidence support the conclusion that human activities have caused most observed warming over at least the last several decades.
Climate models simulate future climate change with varying degrees of confidence
Scientists know a great deal about future climate change. For example, there is high confidence that global temperatures will continue to rise and that climate change will significantly affect human and natural systems. However, there are several aspects of climate change that remain more uncertain. These uncertainties stem primarily from (1) uncertainties about future human actions, especially those that affect the sources and sinks of greenhouse gases, and (2) uncertainties about how the climate system will respond to these actions. In turn, a lower degree of confidence in the response of the climate system stems from both the limitations of climate models and the complexity of the climate system.
Confidence varies by geographic scale
Global climate models generally provide consistent and reliable simulations of climate variables only at large continental to global scales. This is because the variability of the climate increases at smaller geographic and shorter temporal scales. Additionally, the grid cells of the models are usually more than 60 miles (100 km) wide, which is larger than important features that matter for local climate like mountains and land cover. Global models and regional techniques are starting to provide useful information about climate changes on local to regional scales. While some of these projections are very well understood, others are more speculative. Generally, confidence decreases as one moves from larger scales to smaller scales. Regional climate modeling is an active area of research to improve our ability to project future changes at smaller spatial scales.
Confidence varies by climate variable
Scientists are more confident in estimates of some climate variables than others. For example, changes in precipitation are more difficult to project than changes in temperature. To accurately estimate precipitation changes, models must correctly project a number of underlying processes, like evaporation, that occur on relatively small spatial scales. Moreover, precipitation is strongly influenced by mountainous terrain and other local or regional geographic features, which are not always well represented in current models. Despite the complexities, some projections and conclusions, particularly at the continental to global scales, can be made.
Future Temperature Changes
We have already observed global warming over the last several decades. Future temperatures are expected to change further. Climate models project the following key temperature-related changes.
Key Global Projections
- Average global temperatures are expected to increase by 2°F to 11.5°F by 2100, depending on the level of future greenhouse gas emissions, and the outcomes from various climate models. [3]
- By 2100, global average temperature is expected to warm at least twice as much as it has during the last 100 years. [2]
- Ground-level air temperatures are expected to continue to warm more rapidly over land than oceans. [2]
- Some parts of the world are projected to see larger temperature increases than the global average. [2]
Key U.S. Projections
- By 2100, the average U.S. temperature is projected to increase by about 4°F to 11°F, depending on emissions scenario and climate model. [1]
- An increase in average temperatures worldwide implies more frequent and intense extreme heat events, or heat waves. The number of days with high temperatures above 90°F is expected to increase throughout the United States, especially in areas that already experience heat waves. For example, areas of the Southeast and Southwest currently experience an average of 60 days per year with a high temperature above 90°F. These areas are projected to experience 150 or more days a year above 90°F by the end of the century, under a higher emissions scenario. In addition to occurring more frequently, these very hot days are projected to be about 10°F hotter at the end of this century than they are today, under a higher emissions scenario. [1]
Future Precipitation and Storm Events
Patterns of precipitation and storm events, including both rain and snowfall are also likely to change. However, some of these changes are less certain than the changes associated with temperature. Projections show that future precipitation and storm changes will vary by season and region. Some regions may have less precipitation, some may have more precipitation, and some may have little or no change. The amount of rain falling in heavy precipitation events is likely to increase in most regions, while storm tracks are projected to shift poleward. [4] Climate models project the following precipitation and storm changes.
Key Global Projections
- Global average annual precipitation through the end of the century is expected to increase, although changes in the amount and intensity of precipitation will vary by region. [4]
- The intensity of precipitation events will likely increase on average. This will be particularly pronounced in tropical and high-latitude regions, which are also expected to experience overall increases in precipitation. [4]
- The strength of the winds associated with tropical storms is likely to increase. The amount of precipitation falling in tropical storms is also likely to increase. [5]
- Annual average precipitation is projected to increase in some areas and decrease in others. The figure to the right shows projected regional differences in precipitation for summer and winter. [6]
Key U.S. Projections
- Northern areas are projected to become wetter, especially in the winter and spring. Southern areas, especially in the West, are projected to become drier. [1]
- Heavy precipitation events will likely be more frequent. Heavy downpours that currently occur about once every 20 years are projected to occur about every four to 15 years by 2100, depending on location. [1]
- More precipitation is expected to fall as rain rather than snow, particularly in some northern areas. [1]
- The intensity of Atlantic hurricanes is likely to increase as the ocean warms. Climate models project that for each 1.8°F increase in tropical sea surface temperatures the rainfall rates of hurricanes could increase by 6-18% and the wind speeds of the strongest hurricanes could increase by about 1-8%. [1] There is less confidence in projections of the frequency of hurricanes, but the global frequency of tropical hurricanes is likely to decrease or remain essentially unchanged. [5]
- Cold-season storm tracks are expected to continue to shift northward. The strongest cold-season storms are projected to become stronger and more frequent. [1]
Future Ice, Snowpack, and Permafrost
Arctic sea ice is already declining. [7] The area of snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere has decreased since about 1970. [7] Permafrost temperature has increased over the last century. [7]
These are just three of the many forms of snow and ice found on Earth. To learn more about the different forms of snow and ice and how they affect the global climate system, visit the Snow and Ice page of the Indicators section.
Over the next century, it is expected that sea ice will continue to decline, glaciers will continue to shrink, snow cover will continue to decrease, and permafrost will continue to thaw. Potential changes to ice, snow, and permafrost are described below.
Key Global Projections
- For every 2°F of warming, models project about a 15% decrease in the extent of annually averaged sea ice and a 25% decrease in September Arctic sea ice. [7]
- The coastal sections of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are expected to continue to melt or slide into the ocean. If the rate of this ice melting increases in the 21st century, the ice sheets could add significantly to global sea level rise. [7]
- Glaciers are expected to continue to decrease in size. The rate of melting is expected to continue to increase, which will contribute to sea level rise. [7]
Key U.S. Projections
- Northern Hemisphere snow cover is expected to decrease by approximately 15% by 2100. [7]
- Models project the snow season will continue to shorten, with snow accumulation beginning later and melting starting earlier. Snowpack is expected to decrease in many regions. [7]
- Permafrost is expected to continue to thaw in northern latitudes. This would have large impacts in Alaska. [7]
Future Sea Level Change
Warming temperatures contribute to sea level rise by: expanding ocean water; melting mountain glaciers and ice caps; and causing portions of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets to melt or flow into the ocean. [7]
Since 1870, global sea level has risen by about 8 inches. [5] Estimates of future sea level rise vary for different regions, but global sea level for the next century is expected to rise at a greater rate than during the past 50 years. [8]
The contribution of thermal expansion, ice caps, and small glaciers to sea level rise is relatively well-studied, but the impacts of climate change on ice sheets are less understood and represent an active area of research. Thus it is more difficult to predict how much changes in ice sheets will contribute to sea level rise. [7]
Ice loss from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets could contribute an additional 1 foot of sea level rise, depending on how the ice sheets respond. [7]
Regional and local factors will influence future relative sea level rise for specific coastlines around the world. For example, relative sea level rise depends on land elevation changes that occur as a result of subsidence (sinking) or uplift (rising). Assuming that these historical geological forces continue, a 2-foot rise in global sea level by 2100 would result in the following relative sea level rise: [1]
- 2.3 feet at New York City
- 2.9 feet at Hampton Roads, Virginia
- 3.5 feet at Galveston, Texas
- 1 foot at Neah Bay in Washington state
Relative sea level rise also depends on local changes in currents, winds, salinity, and water temperatures, as well as proximity to thinning ice sheets. [1]
Future Ocean Acidification
Oceans become more acidic as carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the atmosphere dissolve in the ocean. This change is measured on the pH scale, with lower values being more acidic. The pH level of the oceans has decreased by approximately 0.1 pH units since pre-industrial times, which is equivalent to a 25% increase in acidity. The pH level of the oceans is projected to decrease even more by the end of the century as CO2 concentrations are expected to increase for the foreseeable future. [1] [3]
Ocean acidification adversely affects many marine species, including plankton, mollusks, shellfish, and corals. As ocean acidification increases, the availability of calcium carbonate will decline. Calcium carbonate is a key building block for the shells and skeletons of many marine organisms. If atmospheric CO2 concentrations double, coral calcification rates are projected to decline by more than 30%. If CO2 concentrations continue to rise at their current rate, corals could become rare on tropical and subtropical reefs by 2050. [1] [3] [9]

When trying to keep directory trees in sync between local disks and network drives, it is confusing when some of the folder dates get changed by the move/copy operation. FileSync tools may ignore this but unfortunately my brain does not.
When looking at the source and destination directories I'd like the folder 'modified' date/time to reflect the most recently 'modified' file within that folder (tree). If the folder contains subfolders then it would be nice if it walked down the directory tree recursively modifying subdirectory timestamps and taking care of the entire tree. (Only the 'modified' timestamp would be altered)

*This article is part of a special online edition*
Ken VanGiesen never had any regrets about his decision to join the Pennsylvania Army National Guard after graduating from Kane Area High School in 1999.
"If I had it to do over again, I still would do it," VanGiesen told The Kane Republican in 2005 before the first of his two deployments in Iraq. "I'm proud to be able to do it."
This brave and loyal American lost his life Monday while serving with a National Guard unit in Afghanistan.
Just 30 years old, the soldier is the son of Tom and Sue VanGiesen of 137 Lincoln St., Kane. He and his longtime girlfriend, Erin Sirianni of Kane, have been living in a house they purchased in Erie where VanGiesen had been working with the National Guard.
The fallen soldier has been a member of the National Guard unit based at the Kane Armory along Chestnut Street. Because of his unique skills as a mechanic, Staff Sgt. VanGiesen was pulled from his "home" base to go to Afghanistan with another National Guard unit that needed someone with his expertise.
Two other members of that same unit also were killed Monday along with VanGiesen when their vehicle hit an "improvised explosive device (IED)" in eastern Afghanistan. The unit was part of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). The armored vehicle reportedly was part of a convoy.
According to a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Army National Guard, the deaths of VanGiesen and his two colleagues Monday means that nine members of the Pennsylvania National Guard now have sacrificed their lives in Afghanistan. The spokesman said another 30 members of the Pennsylvania National Guard have been killed in Iraq.
The National Guard spokesman said he is unable to provide further details on the tragic incident at this time.
According to VanGiesen's father-- a former member of the National Guard himself, the body of his son is scheduled to arrive today at the Dover, Del. Air Force Base.
Members of the VanGiesen family left Tuesday to be present at the Air Force base in Delaware today when the body of the fallen soldier arrives back in the U.S.
Tom VanGiesen said that services for his son would be held at the Ronald McDonald Funeral Home in Kane. Arrangements are incomplete.
A spokesman for the National Guard said a highly-trained military funeral detail would be dispatched to Kane for the funeral service--but only if such a military funeral is requested by the family.
The fallen soldier is the youngest of three children in his family. His older brother is Matt VanGiesen, who lives in Oak Harbor, Wash. His sister is Amie Gullifer of Kane.
VanGiesen and his girlfriend, Erin Sirianni met while attending Kane High School and have been together ever since.
During an interview with The Kane Republican in 2005, VanGiesen supported the U.S. presence in Iraq.
"I feel we need to be over there," he said. "The job needs to be done."
As a youngster, VanGiesen often repaired cars and trucks with his maternal grandfather, Rowland Proashas, a mechanic who had his own repair shop. This experience proved valuable for VanGiesen when he joined the National Guard and helped repair Humvees, cargo trucks and other Army vehicles. His special skills also led him to be deployed in Afghanistan earlier this year with a National Guard unit other than the one based in Kane.
After joining the National Guard following high school, VanGiesen attended Edinboro University to major in environmental geology. However, he interrupted his college education to volunteer for deployment in Iraq with 11 other Kane-based National Guard soldiers.
Before serving two separate stints in Iraq, VanGiesen was deployed in Germany with the National Guard unit from Kane. During one deployment in Iraq, VanGiesen suffered a serious digestive disorder.
VanGiesen had nothing but praise for the National Guard when he was interviewed by The Kane Republican in 2005.
He said that serving in the military is "a good experience in general" and has helped him learned how to "handle responsibilities."
The American flag at the memorial point at Evergreen Park in Kane is at half-staff in honor of VanGiesen.
The death of the Kane soldier has sent shock waves through the community. Many knew the personable VanGiesen. Even more local residents know the family.
Sue and Tom VanGiesen just 10 days ago participated in the Relay For Life to benefit the American Cancer Society. Sue plays in the Kane Guitar Group, which performed at the Relay in Evergreen Park.
Tributes to the fallen soldier already are pouring in from those who knew him.
Norm Schreckengost, chief of the Kane Volunteer Fire Department, said he and VanGiesen have been friends "since we were little."
"He wasn't afraid to do anything," Schreckengost said. "He was a guy you could always turn to. He was a great person to hang out with. He was a loyal friend."
Schreckengost said the fire department is "at the disposal of the family" for "whatever they may need." The father of the fallen soldier is a past assistant chief for the fire department. The mother of the soldier is a past member of the fire department's Ladies Auxiliary.
"This is a tough time, but it's a time when the whole community will pull together for the family," Schreckengost said.
Many already have expressed their condolences to the family with notes written on Ken VanGiesen's site on Facebook, a social network on the internet.
Joyce Cochran of Kane called the death of VanGiesen "a terrible, terrible thing."
"We see this on the news, but we don't think it's so close to home," she said.
Cochran is friends with the parents whom she calls "wonderful people."
"They're such a Christian family," she said. "They'll get through this, but it will be tough."
From her personal knowledge, she said she knows VanGiesen was proud to serve in the National Guard.
"Our country meant a lot to him," Cochran said.
Carl Wilson Jr. and his wife, Betty of Kane have had a very special relationship with VanGiesen through their late son, Shawn, who died seven years ago after a long battle with cystic fibrosis.
"Ken and Shawn grew up together," Carl said. "They spent a lot of time at our house. They were real good friends. Ken would do anything for you. He was a down-to-earth guy and a true friend to our son."
"Ken was Shawn's buddy," Betty Wilson said as she fought to hold back tears. "They did a lot together. Even though our son was very sick, Ken never deserted him. He was a loyal friend."

CH335 Dining Table
from Carl Hansen & Son
designed by Hans Wegner
Designed by Hans Wegner in 1960, the CH335 Dining Table is an extendable oval table, marrying steel and wood. Available in a wide range of solid wood tabletops, as well as a white laminate, the CH335 table has stood the test of time due to its clean lines and Wegner's trademarked simplicity. Give yourself and your guests some breathing room with this dining table that won't get in your way. Seats 6, up to 10 when extended (leaves not included).

About The ManufacturerThe family-owned Carl Hansen & Son has been producing hand-made pieces since 1908. However, it was not until the late 1940s that the Danish furniture house, under the direction of Holger Hansen (the "Son"), joined forces with Hans Wegner and began a partnership that would help further not just the company but the entire Danish Modern design style. Wegner's unique, modern designs initially tested the company's production team as it had previously dedicated itself to more traditionally home-style pieces. Under Holger Hansen's guidance the partnership flourished; in the 1950s and 1960s the Carl Hansen Company and Hans Wegner both received international acclaim for their boundary-pushing work. One of the first pieces to emerge from this partnership was the Wishbone Chair, one of four chairs that Wegner designed specially for Carl Hansen in 1949. While the company faced difficulties during the second half of the 20th century, including Holger Hansen's sudden death in 1962, Carl Hansen & Son persevered and began the 21st century with a renewed focus, set on bringing Danish Modern furniture back to the center of the design world. Since 2001, when grandson Knud Erik Hansen assumed control of the company, Carl Hansen & Son has expanded in Denmark, continued to produce top-quality, hand-crafted furniture, gone on producing successful Wegner designs, and introduced new, previously unseen pieces from the legendary Danish designer.

DesignerHans Wegner
One of the prime influences in Danish Modern design during its formative years, Hans Wegner first began to design furniture after attending the Carpenters' Guild Furniture Exhibits in Copenhagen, Denmark. Shortly after completing his studies at what is now The Danish Design School, he was tasked by Arne Jacobsen with designing all the furniture of his Arhus City Hall. After working with Jacobsen for a short time, he began designing furniture for the Carl Hansen & Son furniture company in 1949. From that partnership came classics such as the Wishbone Chair, Elbow Chair, Shell Chair, and Wing Chair. Still as fresh now as they were then, these enduring pieces of modern furniture bear testimony to Wegner's craftsmanship and inspiration.

About Magic: The Gathering
Magic: The Gathering (colloquially Magic or MTG) is a collectible card game created by mathematics professor Richard Garfield and introduced in 1993 by Wizards of the Coast. Magic is the first example of the modern collectible card game genre and still thrives today, with an estimated six million players in over seventy countries. Magic can be played by two or more players each using a deck of printed cards or a deck of virtual cards through the Internet-based Magic: The Gathering Online or third-party programs.
Each game represents a battle between powerful wizards, known as "planeswalkers", who use the magical spells, items, and fantastic creatures depicted on individual Magic cards to defeat their opponents. Although the original concept of the game drew heavily from the motifs of traditional fantasy role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons, the gameplay of Magic bears little resemblance to pencil-and-paper adventure games, while having substantially more cards and more complex rules than many other card games.

Attorney Dean Henry says he's not making a fuss.
"I'm not complaining, Matt," he told me in a recent email.
Really? It sure feels that way.
Here's some recent commentary directed at the Register, and me, from Henry, who represents Sandusky County Coroner John Wukie, the man who believes suicide can be accidental.
"You have to stop making things up, Matt."
"Did you sleep through Ethics class in Journalism?"
"You're a blowhard."
"You conjured it from thin air."
"You screwed up again."
"You're an amateur, Matt."
"My characterization of you as a poor editor and writer who doesn't really give a damn about the truth is right on target."
"You're just making things up."
"(Reporter) Emil Whitis made that up."
"You could easily prove me wrong, Matt."
"Absolute bullshit. Are you making this up, as well?"
"You're lying and you're busted lying."
"You're just going to have to suck it up and be a man."
I've attempted to address each of his concerns, but try as I might, I don't seem to be getting through to him.

Gallery: Mapungubwe Interpretation Centre is a Fun Cluster of Earthy Do...
Not only was the natural landscape of the mesa the inspiration for the design of the center, it was also the source of most of the construction materials. That probably explains why the structures look so authentic. The heavy vaulted ceilings of the domes contrast with the delicate walkways that meander through the center. Inside, the domes are daylit by a strong southern light that filter in through an opening in ceiling. Ponds in the area cool the air that naturally ventilates the buildings.
In addition to being made out of local materials, the center was constructed by unemployed local workers who were trained in the production of the stabilized earth tiles that were used to build it. These skills are now a part of the culture of the region, and the masons continue to use them and the leftover tiles for their houses in nearby villages. It's pretty amazing when a cultural center can actually write a piece of the story of the people it celebrates.
