Levee breaches nearly plugged, water draining

HOUMA -- Parish leaders hope to use portable pumps from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to accelerate the draining of Terrebonne Parish after workers plugged major holes in levees this week.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers workers huddled near a tent on the runway of the Houma Airbase Friday afternoon, monitoring the constant come-and-go of helicopters picking up the last sandbags to drop on Terrebonne levees.
The helicopters have become a familiar -- and welcome -- sight in Terrebonne since the corps began working with parish leaders to fill levee breaches as quick as possible.
The corps arrived in Terrebonne Monday and has been coordinating sandbag operations involving helicopters. The effort has involved four to five choppers each day, usually one Chinook, one Blackhawk and three civilian helicopters, dropping about 150 sandbags between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. The sandbags weigh about 6,200 pounds each.
The corps, parish and Terrebonne Levee District workers planned to finish filling significant holes in levees by Friday evening. With sandbagging complete, parish leaders hope about 20 portable pumps from the corps arrive in Terrebonne this weekend to speed efforts to pump water from low-lying areas.
Most Terrebonne pump systems have been pumping water out of forced-drainage areas throughout the storm, but the corps pumps would greatly speed the effort, said Jeff Richie, project engineer with the Corps New Orleans district.
"Theyre built to pump rainwater," said Clifford Smith of Houma civil engineering firm T. Baker Smith & Son. "Theyre not built to pump out the Gulf of Mexico."
With the extra pumps, Terrebonne could be relieved of flood water in days beginning with the most-populated areas first, said Richie.
As in New Orleans, workers had to first close gaps in the levee systems before draining much of the water.
"Our mission was to get levees to where they were sealed off enough to pump," said Richie.
The corps sent helicopters and large sandbags after Brig. Gen. Robert Crear, commander of the Corps Mississippi Valley Division, flew over the area Sunday, said Clifford Smith, who sits on the Corps Mississippi River Commission. Smith said he asked Crear for the sandbags, and has since asked for pumps.
On Friday, Col. Duane P. Gapinski surveyed Terrebonne. He has led corps efforts to drain New Orleans and is charged with the same duties for surrounding areas, including Terrebonne.
Sandbagging focused first on breaches that allowed water to flow in, countering efforts to pump water out, said Richie. The second priority was plugging gaps where fast-moving water scoured levees or eroded their tops.
The corps began dropping sandbags Monday along a 200-foot wide gap in the Montegut levee, the largest breach in Terrebonne, said Richie. The work then moved to Chauvin, where water tore through the communitys levee in about 32 spots ranging in size from 2-feet to 100-feet wide.
Without the helicopters and sandbags, closing the Montegut levee breach would have taken at least two weeks, because the Levee District would have had to create access to the breach by land, said Jerome Zeringue, executive director of the Terrebonne Levee District.
The Terrebonne community supported the work, said Richie. At least 100 volunteers helped fill sandbags and hook them to helicopters, and local businesses donated equipment.
Sandbags have closed a 200-foot gap in the Montegut levee, and marsh buggies have begun dredging soil to fill in other gaps. Pumps along the levee are running, along with an extra pump placed at the Boudreaux Pump Station by the Levee District. One pump station near the Montegut gym went under water but has begun working again, said parish Public Works Director Al Levron.
The Natural Resources Conservation Service is working on plans for permanent repairs to the Montegut levee, Levron said. The breach occurred when water knocked over a section of steel sheetpile.
"That was the lynchpin that caused flooding in Montegut," he said.
Workers planned to close all 32 holes in the Ward 7 levee by Friday evening. Two marsh buggies began capping sandbagged spots with dredged soil, and a third will begin doing the same Sunday. Pumps along the levee are running to help remove water.
More than 2 feet of water remains in residential areas of Chauvin farthest from Bayou Little Caillou. The storm brought a lot of water into the Lacache basin, located along Bayou Lacache between Chauvin and Montegut, Levron said. Water remained in some yards near Bayou Lacache Friday. In the Little Caillou area, parish workers have connected some ditches to nearby bayous to drain water.
"That will be a pretty large pumping operation to get that water out," Levron told parish council members Wednesday.
Levee District workers cut two openings in the Dularge levee to allow water to drain, and will close them as soon as water on the inside and outside of the system equalizes. Also, a portable pump was placed at the end of the levee system. As of Friday, water was still draining.
The Levee District also loaned two pumps to the parish to temporarily replace three diesel pumps destroyed by fire Wednesday evening at the Lower Dularge pump station, south of Falgout Canal. The pump station ran throughout the storm, then a fuel leak led to a fire, Levron said. The parish awarded a contract Friday for three new diesel pumps, which Levron said should be installed Saturday, and begin pumping soon after.
The Upper Dularge pump station is running without problems, but the system has a lot of water, said Levron.
Water is continuing to drain from the areas forced-drainage system. The parish has left open breaches in the levee to drain water. Up to 3 feet of water remained in lower-lying portions of Pointe-aux-Chenes Friday, said Levron.
Workers planned Friday to finish removing several chunks of marsh caught beneath a bridge in Bayou Pointe-aux-Chenes, Levron said. The sections of marsh have been blocking bayou drainage, he said.
A contractor is installing two 36-inch pumps at a new pump station in lower Pointe-aux-Chenes, Levron said. The contractor had finished part of the new station when the storm hit, but the pumps had not yet been installed. The parish ordered workers to temporarily install the pumps to drain stormwater, but they will probably have to re-install the pumps later.
Parish workers left open a breach in the levee near Orange Street in Dulac, allowing water to drain. "Water has receded considerably in that area," said Levron.
The parish also began hauling truckloads of dirt to repair an earthen dam at Bayou Butler, damaged during the storm. Parish workers are still assessing minor damages to the levee, said Levron.
Parish workers have also widened a gap in the Dulac levee near Four Point Road to allow water to drain, he said. Parish leaders are considering connecting some ditches in the Grand Caillou community to nearby waterways to speed drainage.
Houma was clear of water by Friday, said Levron.
However, Levron told parish council members Wednesday that some neighborhoods in Houma narrowly escaped flooding. Sandbagging by residents and the closing of culverts by parish crews prevented water from reaching a pump station on Industrial Boulevard, stopping flooding in nearby sections of East Houma, he said.
Water from the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway nearly spilled over a section of Houma levee near Gum Street, but parish crews used dug-up sections of a parking lot to shore up the levee, Levron said.

It's a hypnotically attractive argument. It sounds tough -- more troops! -- but the number is low enough that proponents can claim, with a straight face, that we aren't repeating the Iraq War all over again. Ten thousand. More than Obama. ("I'll be tougher!") Less than Bush. ("But I've learned my lesson!") Just right.
Quite literally, "2015 John McCain" and "2012 John McCain" have opposing views of the Syrian rebels. I hope the media remember this when Sen. McCain gets up on his soapbox in the coming days. Sen. McCain isn't prescient. He consistently contradicts his own past statements and beliefs, depending on what's happening at any particular time.
In the fuzzy arithmetic of their moral equivocation, flag pins matter, firearms matter, border patrols matter, but black and brown lives don't matter unless they can be leveraged for some self-serving political purpose
When the disillusioned 21-year-old Dylann Roof shot and killed nine black worshipers at the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, SC, the tragedy quickly focused on the legacy of the Confederate flag and its tacit endorsement of racism. For presidential candidates courting southern conservatives, this called for high-wire political acts.
Recently, Senator Graham mounted a counter attack on fellow Republicans who opposed the reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank. Indeed, the Senator said "...I'm not going to unilaterally disarm." Yes, it is clear that the senator has mounted a surge.
So far, my plan is working perfectly. If I can remain largely unknown throughout the primary season, the nomination is as good as won. The Republican Party used to brag that it was a big tent. After the last two weeks, the GOP has become a circus tent.
They're catnip for commentators -- two dynasts announcing within two days. Except the differences far exceed the parallels -- one's a yellow-pad wonk related to a popular ex-POTUS who leads with 60 percent in Democratic polls. The other is a "Jar of Mayo" with 100 percent recognition yet only 10 percent in GOP polls. Lowry and Katrina debate why.
Though his "bro with no ho" comment is the most recent uncomfortable remark made by Republican U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk from Illinois, the lawmaker is no stranger to political gaffes.
Trade deals are one subject (one of the very few left) which do not break down on party line. Both the Republicans and the Democrats are split over the issue, so it's not a repeat of the usual partisan battle lines. But it is a clear defeat for Obama, who lobbied hard to very little effect.
This month, Republican presidential hopeful Sen. Lindsey Graham gave what appeared to be an encouraging nod to Caitlyn Jenner, claiming she was "welcome in his party." Make no mistake: Graham still believes in all his "family" values. So why extend a hand to the new Ms. Jenner?
These GOP candidates seem content to pander to their base, tell them how much they hate President Obama and how badly they want to re-invade Iraq. However, it's informative to examine their positions on issues that most informed Americans care about -- that, is voters other than Republicans.
Senator Rand Paul is spot on. The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) was created and is fueled by Mr. Paul's lobotomized neocon rivals.
The Green News Report is also available via... ...
Caitlyn Jenner travels in the rarefied Hollywood air where she can get the best everything to make her transition a resounding success worthy of the Vanity Fair cover. But in the end, members of her beloved Republican Party are plotting to humiliate her and other transgender Americans.
This week, Hillary Clinton took on the war against voting. In a speech on Thursday, she called out governors Scott Walker, Chris Christie, Rick Perry, and Jeb Bush, demanding Republicans "stop fear mongering about a phantom epidemic of election fraud, and start explaining why they're so scared of letting citizens have their say." She followed it up with sensible proposals to make voting easier. Meanwhile, speaking of wars, on Monday Senator Lindsey Graham -- whose solution to every foreign policy problem boils down to armed conflict -- entered the 2016 race. Right on cue, three days later, responding to a question about the fact that Americans are tired of endless war, Graham said, "Well don't vote for me." Duly noted. It's an odd impulse to constantly want to start wars in the name of democracy while simultaneously undermining it here at home.
Should Americans join the military if the next commander-in-chief of the armed services is an arrogant, ignorant, irresponsible, war-happy hawk? Many of America's best and brightest join the armed services. But with the U.S. constantly at war, joining is a life or death decision, dependent on the judgment of whoever sits in the Oval Office.

2016B AAT Call for Proposals
The main proposal deadline for AAT and CTIO time-swap time in Semester 2016B (August 2016 - January 2017) is:
Tuesday, 15 March 2016, at 17:00
Australian Eastern Daylight Time, i.e. UTC + 11 hrs
Proposals to ATAC can be submitted until the deadline using the new Lens proposal form and are welcomed from all astronomers worldwide.
Applying for AAT Telescope Time through ATAC
Important information for applicants
- Time available for new proposals: because of existing Large Programs and other obligations, there are roughly 88 nights available for new proposals in Semester 16B (32 dark, 32 grey, 24 bright).
- A separate call for Large AAT Programs has been made for programs starting in 2016B. More information is available at this link.
- Proposals for Long Term AAT Programs are welcome in 2016B.
- Based upon historical weather trends, about 33% of time is lost to bad weather. Proposers are therefore required to multiply their request by a factor of 1.5, to allow for time lost to weather.
New proposal submission system
The AAO has moved to a new proposal submission system, known as Lens. This system is a user account based system, which will allow for improved security and better tracking of past and current proposals. There is an FAQ available for Lens, available via the FAQ tab in Lens itself, or via the direct link http://www.aao.gov.au/lens/faq .
Users who have applied for time as PI in the previous semesters (i.e. starting from 2013A to 2014B) have had accounts pre-configured and will have received an email with their login details. Users that applied for time from 2015A will also have a Lens account.
All other users are encouraged to register with the system at https://www.aao.gov.au/lens/register
Note that users cannot be added to proposals if they are not registered in Lens. Please make sure that all investigators on a proposal have registered well before the deadline!
For any queries or comments, please email firstname.lastname@example.com .
Instrument status
- HERMES will not be available for use during August to mid-October 2016 while its dewars and detectors are upgraded. Minor changes to the default observing setup, if any, will be made available in September.
- From 2016A SAMI is now supported as a general-user instrument.
- UHRF has been decommissioned.
- IRIS Multi-object Spectrograph (MOS) mode has been decommissioned.
SAMI status
SAMI is now a general-user instrument. SAMI is the Sydney-AAO Multi-object Integral-field unit that feeds the AAOmega spectrograph. SAMI provides 13 fibre-based IFUs called 'hexabundles', each with a field of view of 15 arcseconds and are deployed by plug plate anywhere within a 1-degree field of view using the AAT's Prime Focus top end. For further information about observing with SAMI, see this website, or contact the SAMI instrument scientist Julia Bryant (email@example.com). Note, the 2dFDR data reduction pipeline has been tested using the AAOmega gratings that are used for the SAMI survey (580V and 1000R), but has not been tested with other AAOmega gratings.
HERMES status
HERMES is now a general-user instrument. HERMES is a four-channel, bench-mounted high-resolution spectrograph for use with the 2dF top end. The wavelength ranges of the four channels are fixed at 4715-4900 Å, 5649-5873 Å, 6478-6737 Å and 7585-7887 Å. The spectral resolution is nominally R~28,000, which can be raised to R~45,000. Questions about expected instrument performance should be directed to the HERMES instrument scientist, Gayandhi De Silva (email@example.com).
KOALA status
KOALA (Kilo-fibre Optical AAT Lenslet Array) has replaced SPIRAL as the integral-field capability to AAOmega. KOALA has a selectable spatial resolution of 0.7"or 1.25", an increase in throughput at all wavelengths, particularly at the extreme blue, and simplified field rotation. Information on KOALA can be found in the instrumentation page and a new exposure time calculator is available. Questions about expected performance should be directed to the KOALA instrument scientist, Ángel López-Sánchez (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Remote observing
Since Semester 13A, remote observing from the AAO's North Ryde headquarters has been available as an option for all AAT facility instruments. Observers who wish to travel to Sydney to carry out remote observations can continue to access the existing Travel and Accommodation support offered to AAT observers. From semester 16B, it will be possible to observe remotely from the remote observing facilities at the ANU and ICRAR. Use of these facilities will be restricted to experienced observers who have used the AAT in the past five years. Observers wishing to use these facilities will not be eligible for travel support from the AAO.
Service time
If projects require fewer than 6 hours of observing time, they can be performed in service time. Applications for service time are made electronically direct to the AAO and are now accepted year-round. See the AAT Service Observing page for more details.
The AAO requests all publications based upon data allocated through the AAO include the following acknowledgement:
Based [in part] on data acquired through the Australian Astronomical Observatory, [via program XXX].
Applying for CTIO time-swap Time through ATAC
AAO-CTIO time-swap arrangement
The AAO and NOAO/CTIO have initiated a time-swap arrangement, to allow our respective communities to maximise their scientific opportunities through access to a broader range of facilities.
This semester there will be 5 nights available to the Australian community to apply for CTIO time.
The Dark Energy Survey (DES) has been allocated 101 nights during the 2016B semester, and this time is concentrated in the months of September through November, with second half nights scheduled during August and the first half of September, and first half nights scheduled from late December through January. Thus only a very few nights remain available to non-DES programs during these same periods so that is hard to schedule any but the most highly ranked programs in these periods.
Generally a uniform distribution of lunations will be available to the Australian community. This uniform distribution is particularly important in B semesters (especially Sept-Nov) due to existing CTIO commitments. Note, DECam has been demonstrated to produce useful imaging in the reddest filters (izY) on all but the very brightest nights.
All scheduled observations will be carried out in classical mode with observers required to travel to the telescope. The International Telescopes Support Office (ITSO) at the AAO has secured funding via Astronomy Australia Ltd to reimburse the costs of Australian CTIO PI observer travel to Chile, on a similar basis to the way Australian Magellan observers are funded.
Note, starting from 2016 only 5 CTIO nights per semester will be available through the AAO.
Instruments available
The DECam imager, the TripleSpec4 ARCoIRIS IR spectrograph and the COSMOS spectrograph are available for Australian proposals. COSMOS is available in an imaging, longslit and multi-object spectroscopy modes. Information about the new IR spectrograph is available at this webpage.
Please review Current CTIO Instrumentation Status and CTIO Telescope Information for more information.
How to apply
Those who wish to apply for this time should do so using the Lens proposal system, selecting "CTIO 4m" from the telescopes menu on the first page of the proposal form.
The standard proposal page limits and recommendations regarding technical justifications should be followed. The proposals will be assessed by ATAC, and graded proposals provided to CTIO for scheduling.
How to Apply for AAT Time - the Basic Steps
Instrument status and policies
All ATAC applicants should check the latest Instrument Availability and recent Policy Announcements. If you require further clarification on any issue, then please contact the AAT Technical Secretary Lee Spitler (firstname.lastname@example.com).
See Special Override Rules for proposals seeking time as an override on another program's time and the Long Term Program page for those seeking long term status. Proposals requiring at most 6 hours of observing time should be submitted to the AAO's Service Observing program.
If the PI, and at least half the observing team are from European countries, they may apply for AAT time through the OPTICON program.
Proposal content
Full Technical Details, outlining how you derived your time estimates, observing constraints, and any special requests should be included in the scientific case (preferably under a separate section heading).
Proposals should be written such that the content and significance is understandable by a wide range of astronomers.
If your proposal seeks time on two instruments, outline carefully the relative requirements of the different instrument set-ups, including the split in observing time between the instruments.
If the observations are essential to the completion of a student's PhD thesis, then a full explanation must be given in the science case. No special consideration is given to proposals involving PhD students, except when attempting to schedule proposals near the cut-off, when some priority may be given.
After accounting for overheads (detector readout, calibrations and telescope slewing), observers are required to factor in an additional 50% to account for bad weather.
All applicants should be aware that it is the policy of the AAO that any backup project must use the same instrument as the main project.
A list of the principal targets (field centres for AAOmega+2dF programs) should be prepared as a separate PDF document. The target list should contain target name, RA (h m s), Dec (d m s), target brightness, and priority. There is a 2-page limit for this target list PDF file. Other document formats will not be accepted.
Proposal submission details
Prepare your main proposal offline, including an abstract, target list, science case, and technical justification. The science case and technical justification together should be, in PDF format, no more than three pages total, with two pages for the science case and one page for technical justification. Those three pages should include all references and figures, use 11pt font (or larger), and have at least 10mm margins. Colour figures are accepted. Other document formats will not be accepted.
Applicants seeking Long Term status may be allowed to submit up to five pages, provided prior permission is obtained well in advance from the ATAC Secretary, Helen Woods (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Submitting your proposal
When your proposal details are ready, submit your application to ATAC through Lens, the AAT's new proposal system. As noted above, this is a user-account-based system and all investigators on a proposal must be registered.

Request for Proposals for Large Observing Programs on the AAT starting Semester 17A
The AAO aims to provide opportunities for Australian and international astronomers to make effective use of the Anglo-Australian Telescope's unique capabilities to address major scientific questions through large observing programs. These large observing programs may use any general-user instrument at the AAT: AAOmega, KOALA, SAMI, UCLES, IRIS2 or HERMES.
The AAO is issuing a Request for Proposals for major new observing programs to commence in semester 17A. All proposals will be evaluated by ATAC. Ambitious projects are encouraged, and the AAO expects large observing programs to be awarded a total of at least 25% of the available time on the AAT; in some past semesters Large Programs have been allocated almost 50% of the available time. Existing AAT Large Program commitments are listed at this link.
All proposals should be submitted with the standard online AAT application system Lens, which will open on 15 August 2016. Non-standard page limits and section headings will apply as outlined below. The case for the proposed large observing program must include:
1. A major, compelling and feasible scientific program. The proposal should focus on key questions that the observational data would address, but should also outline anticipated secondary uses of the data by the broader community. 'Major' in this context will generally mean programs requiring 50 nights or more (there is no set upper limit), possibly extending over several semesters. The science will be expected to be groundbreaking and not just incremental. Proposers need to discuss what their program will achieve in comparison with other on-going and future programs on similar timescales. The scientific program should be described in no more than 5 pages (including figures, tables, and references).
2. An observing strategy describing the provision of the input target sample, the detailed plan for the observations (number of nights including the standard allowance for weather, cadence of time-critical observations, and total duration of the project), the proposed instrumental setups, constraints on weather conditions or timing of observations, signal-to-noise or other figures of merit required to achieve the science goals, and any special support needed for the observations. The number of targets, required data quality, sensitivity limits and other relevant information should be rigorously justified. Programs requiring multiple visits to the same field should present a strategy for updating targets to achieve optimum efficiency. The observing strategy should be described in no more than 2 pages.
3. A management plan outlining the collaboration involved in the program, the sharing of responsibilities for scientific management; the planning of observations; the carrying out of observations; data reduction; quality control at each of these stages; data release to the AAO community and compliance with International Virtual Observatory Alliance standards; and finally, data analysis and exploitation by the proposing team. Specifically, the plan should address the following issues.
a. Data reduction procedures and requirements: what are the team's specific data reduction needs and their capacity to support these needs.
b. Funding: what resources have been secured (or are being secured) to support team personnel, and what is the duration of this funding?
c. Observing management: what observing experience (directly applicable to the AAT instrument to be used) do team members have, and how many have indicated a willingness to participate in observing runs? The AAO expects all Large Program teams to become self-supporting at the AAT, in terms of including observers who are already competent with or are willing to be trained in the operations of the instrument(s) for the program without additional AAO staff support.
The plan should outline the roles of all team members and how members contribute to carrying out the program. Proposers may also wish to suggest a publication strategy, including the process for determining authorship. The management plan should be described in no more than 2 pages.
4. A project timeline, including the observational and analysis aspects, with milestones and regular reviews by ATAC during the course of the program.
5. An outreach plan. Proposers should plan for significant public outreach, and the proposal should explain the broader impact of the project. The timeline and outreach plan, together, should be described in no more than 1 page.
Proposers are encouraged to form broad collaborations across the Australian and international communities in support of their programs. The PIs for large programs will generally be expected to commit to the project as the main focus of their research over the program's duration. Proposers should also familiarise themselves with the method of time accounting at the AAT (see this link) as well as the conditions for Long-term projects at this page.
Proposals for large observing programs should be submitted to ATAC by the standard proposal deadline of 5pm 15 September 2016.
The number of large programs to be awarded time will be determined with a clear preference for a small number of very high quality programs delivering high impact science as quickly as possible. Within these guidelines, ATAC will award time based on considerations including the relative scientific merit and impact of the large programs and standard programs, the quality of the management, publication and outreach plans, and the phasing of programs to provide a steady rollover of large programs for the longer term. A panel of independent expert referees will be asked to provide comments on the proposals; proposers will be given the opportunity to respond to the referees' comments. ATAC will, at its discretion, seek progress reports (which may be refereed) at various stages of the project. If proposals of sufficient merit are not received in this call, an additional call will be made for semester 17B.
Anyone considering submitting a large program proposal should contact the AAO Director ( director [at] aao.gov.au ) to discuss their plans.

Special information for specific instruments
New rolling application mode
Applications for AAT Service Mode Time will be accepted on a continuous basis starting 1st February, 2015. Proposals will be reviewed and graded as they are received. Review could take up to four weeks, after which the primary investigator will be notified of their grade. Successful proposals will be added to the service queue at that time. Proposals will remain active until observed, or until 18 months has passed since they were first added to the queue.
Other aspects of the service program will remain the same. The program is described in full detail below.
Proposals are accepted through the AAO's Proposal management system, Lens.
The Australian Astronomical Observatory operates a service observing program at the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) for programs that require up to six hours of observing time. Service time is normally allocated for programs that require a small amount of data to complete a program, to look at individual targets of interest, or to try out new observing techniques.
Service proposals are accepted on a continuous basis. The proposals are graded by a three member panel, a process which takes about 4 weeks, before being accepted into the service program.
In detail, the AAT service proposal system operates as follows:
- Service proposals may be submitted for programs that require up to six hours observing time.
- The following instruments will be available for service observations:
- Applications are invited from all astronomers, worldwide.
- Upcoming service nights are listed on the AAT Schedule.
- Service proposals are refereed by a 3-member panel, normally within four weeks of the proposal being received. The panel consists of an AAO staff member together with two members of ATAC. If further information is required then a service proposal may be returned to the applicant for modification.
- The referees grade service proposals on a scale of 1 (low) to 5 (high) and an average grade is assigned. To ensure service time remains competitive with scheduled AAT programs, proposals assigned an average grade below 2.5 will not be executed. After a proposal has been refereed, the AAO will advise the sender of the averaged grade assigned by the referees.
- Service proposals expire after a period of 18 months but may be resubmitted at any time.
- "FLD" files for 2dF (HERMES or AAOmega) should be sumitted via the Lens tool
- Data will be made available as FITS format files. Wherever possible, these will be transferred to user through Cloudstor.
Proposals are flexibly scheduled for execution based on proposal grade, instrumental configuration, observing conditions and target availability. You will maximise the chances of your proposal being executed if your proposal can make use of:
- bright or grey time,
- the most common grating or resolution configuration for instruments which can be reconfigured,
- less popular parts of the sky, and
- less demanding conditions of seeing and transparency.
All enquiries regarding the service program should be addressed to the service manager at email@example.com.

The following tables provide information on the status of service proposals accepted at the AAT before November 1st 2014. Please note that service proposals expire after a period of 18 months but may be re-submitted at any time.

Service observing reports
A nightly report is submitted by the AAO astronomer carrying out the service observing, which is normally forwarded to the PI of an observed program.
Special Information for specific instruments
2dF (HERMES or AAOmega)
- Fibres: There are 392 science fibres + 8 guide fibres on each plate, for multi-object spectroscopy.
- Sky Subtraction: Nod-and-Shuffle sky subtraction is not available for Service Time programs, so dedicated sky fibres must be used.
- .fld Files: The 2dF robot uses .fld files for positional information for multi-object spectroscopy. We now encourage proposers to submit these at the time of proposal submission, or at least before one of the fld deadlines for inclusion in scheduling. All fld files should conform to the guidelines on the web page Cookbook for 2dF Target Preparation using Configure. ".fld" files that the configure software cannot load may not be observed.
- All gratings are available. Grating changes are generally not possible during a night, although grating angles can be changed. Refer to the online AAOmega Grating Calculator.
The AAO participates in the OPTICON Transnational Access Program (2013-16) providing travel-related funding to AAT users from EU Member (and Associated) countries. Under the current OPTICON FP7-II agreement (2013-2016), AAO telescopes can carry up to 10 OPTICON nights per semester (typically), and possibly more, subject to availability of funds.
More information about OPTICON (including eligibility criteria) can be found below and from the website of the OPTICON office.
Separate OPTICON TAC proposal process
The OPTICON consortium operate a separate Time Allocation Committee, distinct from the AAT Time Allocation Committee, with an earlier submission deadline.
OPTICON-eligible programs should be submitted to the OPTICON TAC and not to the AAT TAC.
The AAT OPTICON nights (approximately 4% of AAT time) are top-sliced from the available time but counted as part of the Other (non-Australian) fraction of AAT time (30% overall).
OPTICON-eligible programs that are unsuccessful in securing OPTICON time will automatically be ranked alongside other AAT programs for the remaining pool of AAT time. If they are awarded nights from this time, they will not be eligible for OPTICON financial support in this round.
Applying for AAT time through OPTICON
- Proposals must meet certain EU and OPTICON rules for formal eligibility concerning team membership, which can be viewed here. Note in particular the rules concerning the nationality of the PI and co-I's, and also the prohibition on projects which could be applied for by the PI using the national mechanisms open to them.
- The maximum number of OPTICON nights generally available on the AAT is ten (10). The precise number of nights awarded will depend on scientific ranking and operational constraints.
- Unsuccessful OPTICON proposals will also be automatically ranked alongside other AAT proposals for competitive access to the non-OPTICON share of non-Australian AAT time.
- Requests for multiple telescopes for the same scientific project should be included in a single proposal form. Requests for projects with different scientific objectives should be made on separate proposal forms.
- Any AAT instrument available in this proposal call may be requested. Please consult the AAO Instrument Status Page for specific information about instrument availability, capability and other guidelines.
- Projects must be scientifically competitive and will be ranked based on scientific merit and technical feasibility. The AAO will attempt to schedule nights allocated by the OPTICON process, subject to practical constraints on telescope and instrument availability with due regard given to EC criteria regarding new users and users without similar national infrastructures.
- Successful proposers (of the OPTICON-only share of AAT time) will receive travel funds as necessary for them to take up the observing time.
- Proposals made to and approved via non-OPTICON mechanisms will NOT qualify for OPTICON travel grant support. Note that the results of the OPTICON TAC review will be communicated to the national TACs to avoid undesirable duplication. In the case of linked proposals (for example using national time to prepare for or follow-up an OPTICON-supported run) or where the OPTICON time available is insufficient for the project to be accomplished, please indicate your intention to make a linked application and explain why this is necessary.
Detailed information on the OPTICON TAC process can be found here.

DENVER -- Jeff Ward won two races Saturday to finish the
weekend with three victories in four events in The AMA Fay Myers
Suzuki Supermoto Classic.
Riding a Troy Lee Designs Honda, Ward extended his points lead
over Graves Yamaha's Doug Henry to 22.
"I finished ahead of Doug (Henry) in every race and that's what
I needed," said Ward, who earlier this month was inducted into the
Motorsports Hall of Fame and won a gold at the X-Games. "The
series is a long way from being over so I won't be comfortable
unless I have more than a 25-point lead going into the final race
at Long Beach."
Mark Burkhart, of Pickerington, Ohio, won the first of the four
races on Friday, but he suffered crashes in the second race Friday
and the first race Saturday. Burkhart recovered to finish third in
the final race Saturday.

Blueberry Pie Recipe
Berry Tempting: Blueberry Pie
Before last weekend, I was in the majority when it comes to pie: I preferred cherry pie over blueberry pie. I think it was because I had never really enjoyed homemade blueberry pie. Naturally, I had to remedy the situation by making it from scratch. I'm so glad that I did: this was my best pie yet! The filling was thick, juicy, and not overly sweet. The dough was buttery, flaky, and crisp. The awesome thing is I only experienced moderate difficulties when rolling the dough out. Thus, baking this pie has made me a more confident home cook. Want to see the recipe I used? It's after the break.
From Martha Stewart 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface Makes 1 pie.

The Priest and the Medium: The Amazing True Story of Psychic Medium B. Anne Gehman and Her Husband, Former Jesuit Priest Wayne Knoll, Ph. D.by Suzanne Giesemann
View All Available Formats & Editions
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
Psychic medium B. Anne Gehman gave her first spirit readings to her teddy bears at age five. Raised in the Mennonite tradition, she left home at age 14 to finish her schooling. A life-changing near-death experience led Anne to develop her natural gifts, including an uncanny ability to predict future events. She has gained international attention for her help in solving crimes, locating oil and missing persons, healing illnesses, and connecting family members with their loved ones in spirit. She has worked with top government agencies and officials, police departments, judges, and corporate CEOs. While remarkable for her spiritual gifts and experiences, Anne's life is all the more fascinating due to an unusual twist: she is married to Wayne Knoll, Ph.D., a former Jesuit priest. A brilliant student devoted to his faith, Wayne also left home at 14 to join a Roman Catholic seminary. Even while pursuing his life's dream as a professor of literature at Georgetown University, Wayne felt an emptiness that only a woman could fill. After more than a decade of religious training, he made the wrenching decision to leave the priesthood, not knowing if he would find the love he sought. The Priest and the Medium shares the remarkable story of two soul mates on parallel paths with divergent beliefs, yet united in their love for God and each other.

Having met Anne many years ago when she was married to Bob, I was anxious to read what happened to her. I loved reading that she is doing so well. The first time I met her she was doing readings at a radio station in Daytona Beach. My husband worked there, so I was there to see and listen to her. We went to a Christmas party at her home. I was so in awe of her beautiful home in pastel colors. Thank you for a wonderful book. I couldn't put it down.
This book was written about my Uncle Wayne and my Aunt Anne Gehman. Wayne is the oldest son from my father's family of nine. I have been fortunate to be able to spent some time with both of them over the years so I know from experience that the incredible inspiring stories from this book are all fact and not fiction. Trust me when I say this book is hard to put down since it was written so beautifully and since the characters, Wayne and Anne, are so unique and one of kind. Their life experiences are something movies are made out of and these true stories about them will definitely touch you in a way that will be positive and life changing. I could go on, but just trust me...get the book, read it and thank me later. Corbin Knoll
I just loved this book! It was an easy read that was hard to put down. The fact that the book is about current people made it all the better...and the writing gives great clarity as to who the main character truly are and what they stand for.
Giesemann is a good author, and has written a true story about two people. She goes back and forth between the two through their lives, and you get a good sense of these individual's lives and belief systems. I have enjoyed her books and would recommend them. I won't spoil the ending...
This was one book that I could not put down! I love reading about Spiritualism and I am a Catholic . Its sad that there are no Spiritualist Churche's where I live! This book really makes me want more! Its also a great love story. A very good book!
This is a truly lovely story about two individuals who live seemingly disparate lives but eventually find each other. Is it the will of God? Is it orchestrated by Spirit? These and many other questions will dance around your head and your heart as you join medium B. Anne Gehman and her husband, former Jesuit priest Wayne Knoll, PhD. on their spiritual journeys. The book tells each person's story—altering between Anne and Wayne—in a linear fashion from the 1930's through the early 2000's. Their lives are so different and yet so similar, it is fascinating to watch them develop and unfold side by side in this book. As the book progressed, I could not imagine what would bring these two extraordinary people together. Although my desire to know how Anne and Wayne met and fell in love was an impetus to keep me reading, it was not the only one. It is the determination and faith of each of these characters that kept me invested in their stories and their growth. Initially, I was most intrigued by Anne's special gifts as a medium, but I became equally fascinated with Wayne's journey into the priesthood. Both Anne and Wayne are so confident and passionate about their paths and purposes, it is inspiring. A treat at the end of the book is an interview the author did with Wayne and Anne. It is honest and thoughtful and really gives you a sense of what they mean to one another and how their mutual respect for the others faith only brings them closer—to each other, to God, and to Spirit. My favorite quote from the interview comes from Wayne when discussing an irreconcilable intellectual difference between Anne and him: "…If we cannot—not just Anne and me, but humankind—if we cannot maintain mutual respect when there are intellectual differences, then all civilization is tribal….Then the only people that matter are those in our tribe. And this is why we have such problems in the world today. We don't all have to be Spiritualists or Catholics, but we do need mutual respect, while maintaining the integrity of one's personal identity." Amen.
I met the author, the priest and the medium recently here in Florida. This is a wonderful book. I have friends who couldn't put it down, read it in a day. This book is beautifully written. Buy it. You will not be disappointed!

I watched it with them and did not appreciate some of the ideas that the video was passing on. Value #1 I didn't agree with is being scared of the dark and monsters in the dark. To make the a sound, the video was having the characters scream when a light was turned off. I am fortunate that my kids are not afraid of the dark, never have been, and I am reluctant to show them something that indicates that they should be afraid of the dark. #2 for the i sound, it emphasized the word "ick' and said ick is the what you say when you don't like dinner. Again, we don't use this kind of language around dinner. #3 One of the characters took away another's toys, then the first character got mad and took them all back. I prefer to emphasize sharing and asking, rather than taking.
I didn't make it through all 12 segments, so cannot give a complete overview of all of it. After 5 segments, me and the kids had had enough.
The pack contains a DVD with 12 music video clips and 12 corresponding booklets. The idea is that the child picks up the songs and words and after s/he gets used to the tunes etc tries to read the booklets without the music DVD.
The stories are well planned and unfold in a specific order that progressively builds knowledge (e.g. short o, i, function of a, e, i etc.). The story content is clear and uncomplicated, with nice, big and crisp bold Arial subtitles for the song texts; the animated characters and graphics are funky, colorful and interesting but not too technicolor and visually 'loud'; the music is upbeat, in various music styles (ranging from rock to jazzy blues) and encourages singing, but it is not overwhelming and enables the child to focus on the written and spoken words.
Absolutely recommended. Will not regret!
My 3 year old and my 1 year old are never afraid of the dark and can play hide and seek with us and they can hide in a dark bedroom. After watching this video, my daughter is trying to copy the character and tells me that she is afraid when it is dark. I stopped showing this video to her right away. She can now play hide and seek with us again.
Get another videos for reading and phonics.
For some of the Leap Frog products I have seen people complain about the graphics. Come on, these things are geard toward little children who could care less about graphics. One person made a comment about another Leap Frog product that beyond a 19 inch TV the graphics are all over the place. Duh, put it on a smaller TV. Why do you have your kid sittiing infront of a really large high tech tv anyway? You will never get them away from it. It's like going from a Benz to a Sentra. Put yourself in a Benz, you may never want to drive your Sentra again.
I would recogmend this program to anyone as part of your program but not the one and only thing to have. I haven't seen anything out there that meets all needs for all children. I don't feel even Hooked on Phonics could be your stand alone program.
I am speaking from a homeschooler's point of view and from a professional teacher as well.

It's Derby Day--and because we can't be in the Bluegrass State for the 140th running of the Kentucky Derby, let's go watch it via simulcast (plus watch a day of live racing, too) at Arlington Park.
We'll meet at The Newsroom bar on the second floor at Ogilvie Transportation Center at 10:00 to get some roadies, grab our $7 Metra weekend passes, then jump on the train. The UP/NW line leaves at 10:30 and will get us to Arlington at 11:20--plenty of time for the first post time at 12:45 (the next train, at 12:30, gets in at 1:20 for those who miss us). People who are driving, check your Meetup app on your phone for a gathering location.
The last race is at 6:00 pm and there's a Metra heading back to the city at 6:30 pm (gets to Ogilvie at 7:20). We can find a city bar to drink in afterwards.
Note: This is NOT a bar package and there are no tickets to buy. Sorry. We're just going on a field trip to the track to watch the Derby--this is not like our Hawthorne events we've done before or the Arlington events we'll be doing in the summer. You're in charge of your own costs: Metra ticket or parking charges, entrance fee, race program, wagering, drinks, and food. Awesome company and a great time is free, though.
Derby attire encouraged!
Bryan and Tom

Steve King Rests His Case: 'I Challenge This Civilization To Be Reasonable!'
Iowa Republican Steve King, who was roundly condemned for his recent comments alleging that most young undocumented immigrants are drug smugglers, took to the House Floor today to allege that his freedom of speech is under attack. In a rambling address that touched on everything from the Korean War to the George Zimmerman trial to ancient Greece, King warned that the US is on the brink of losing the freedoms of speech and assembly. The congressmen argued that people don't agree with him because they simply aren't being reasonable, since after all he is advocating "the most logical and rational policy" on immigration.
"I think we need a policy that's right… for America," King declared. "I challenge this civilization to be reasonable!"
Later, King outlined what exactly that policy looks like. "We need to build a fence, a wall and another fence," he continued, "we need to put the sensory devices on top of there."
Then, still defending his remarks painting the vast majority of undocumented youth as drug mules, he declared that he is being unfairly judged by others and therefore America is doomed to decline: "No nation like the United States of America can continue to grow and be a strong nation if we are going to judge people because they disagree with our agenda rather than the content of their statement."

It was almost exactly two years ago that I left Turkey for the United States, never to move back again. Friends would ask me when I was planning to return to Turkey. "Next year, inshallah," I'd say each time. "But not to live—only to visit."
A few colleagues had asked me this question, too—an event organizer here, an artists' manager there—to them, I'd say I had no intention of returning to Turkey for work, unless it was for a really good job.
But there were no really good dance jobs in Turkey. Business at the venue in Alanya where I'd loved performing had dwindled, and the second summer after I'd worked there, it closed permanently. I'd outgrown working the summer hotel circuit in the coastal areas. While it was fun for a few months, it became intolerable as the season wore on. Besides, with the current exchange rate being so unfavorable for the Turkish lira against the US dollar, I couldn't see any job being worth the move to Turkey, and the stress and frustration that would indubitably accompany it.
Then, I got a call from an old Istanbul coworker. He was working as a manager at a new venue, and he asked if I'd be interested in joining him there. My first answer was no, for all the reasons mentioned above. However when he mentioned the salary, the conditions, the fact that the airline ticket would be provided by the employer, I figured I didn't have anything to lose. Because I've been down this road before, I made sure to get a round-trip flight. If things weren't as delightful as I'd been told, I'd be back in the States on the first thing smoking.
When I got to my new place of employment, I learned that my former coworker, the manager, had exaggerated my salary, so on my second night, I got a 25% pay decrease. He'd also retracted what he'd said about housing being provided by the employer. The manager, who'd brought me into the place, was soon fired for lying. Not to me, just in general.
The stretching of the truth didn't matter much, though. The boss is fair and generous, my coworkers and work environment are pleasant, and the money is rather enough. I perform every evening in a Turkish-owned Arabic restaurant/nightclub. The customers are mostly Iraqi, but also Syrian, Saudi, Moroccan, and Egyptian, and my tips often exceed my nightly pay.
I've been performing at Şehzade for 17 consecutive days, and as with any job, it comes with its highs and lows, but for the most part, I'm quite pleased with the job.

Caesar IV
I came, I saw, I yawned.
Why in the name of Mahatma Gandhi do game designers feel that city-builders -- a subgenre geared specifically to RTS pacifists -- need to have a military element? Caesar IV, the new city-builder from Tilted Mill, trundles along just fine as a wheat-growing, furniture-crafting, pottery-potting domestic sim. Then, all of a sudden, instead of dealing with urban sprawl and water rights, you're tasked with using a bunch of poorly controlled, dim-bulb A.I. legionnaires to defend against invading hordes. Battles have nothing to do with tactics, being determined only by who has the bigger, better-equipped force. If the real Roman army were actually this scattershot, schoolchildren today would be forced to learn Carthaginian rather than Latin.
Even done right, though, the inclusion of any military elements within a game like Caesar IV seems questionable. The meat of city-builders like this is in, well, building cities. Planning communities, creating supply chains, laying roads, prettying up the place, and so on -- that's what you do in, for instance, the SimCity series. And that's what you'll do in the more stimulating parts of Caesar IV as well. Tilted Mill has done a bang-up job of creating a hustling, bustling city dynamic that revolves around daisy-chained supply lines. Missions start with simple infrastructure additions like housing and roads, move on to the supply of first-order goods like wheat and clay, and finish up with the production of fourth- or even fifth-order goods like weaponry. While your citizens are busy gathering up and assembling all this stuff, you've got to keep them happy with things like religion, entertainment, sanitation, and pretty foliage. And all the while, Rome herself is watching and evaluating your every move -- constantly demanding more efficiency (and more resources), forcing you to make tough choices between your local economy and the far-off "federal government."
At times, it can be a highly enjoyable balancing act. But there are some serious foibles, too -- beyond the lame military aspects. The interface, for example, is clunky, and it chews up more onscreen real estate than Pacino in The Devil's Advocate. You have to plod through at least two submenus to pick out and place a building, and when you've made your selection, those menus stay plastered on top of the game window. The narrowed space that remains makes organizing new construction a serious pain; this is exacerbated by the need to use the menus constantly due to a lack of sufficient hotkeys. Moreover, unlike the recent CivCity: Rome, citizens in Caesar IV look and move like faceless automatons. They shuffle to the wheat fields, shuffle to the granary, shuffle to the baths, and so on. There's never a sense of interaction between the populace and infrastructure beyond the most abstract and mathematical contact.
On the plus side, that mathematical information is well handled and doled out to the player in palatable morsels by Caesar IV "advisers" panel. This group of patricians keeps track of everything that's going on in your city and summarizes each major area of commerce and manufacturing in single-sentence sound bites. Moreover, the citizens themselves, for all their anonymous shuffling about, will verbalize their needs and desires -- albeit only if you click on them individually. This is key, because the huge variety of production goods and constant demand for new and different services (while they keep the game challenging) would be impossible to manage without a quality feedback system. Finally, when your city has reached the point of self-sufficiency, you can simply zoom out and treat yourself to Caesar IV's lovely, bucolic vistas. And then the damn barbarian hordes show up, and you have to muster the Keystone Kops to save the day....

Yes. We just put it in sideways with the front to the side. After it lowers my dad just pivots his body forward but the seat remains sideways. When he gets out he pivots back towards the door and the seat raises him up.

I'm looking for something that can be used under water. My mother has a walk-in tub with a chair-height seat, but still has problems standing from that. Is there a 100% water-proof cover for this? Or a model designed to be used underwater? Also, she does weigh a bit over 300lb so the "plus" model is needed. Thanks!

By the way, I have stood in front of their BAR and controlled the record more than once.
They could do nothing because I did not give them what they needed to argue against me.
I gave them no name, nothing, I simply asked questions, never passed the BAR into their jurisdiction and kept telling "the record" I demanded the court prove its jurisdiction over me.
When the judge tried to threaten and contempt of court jail time, I simply asked "ON and for the record, who, exactly, by name, is the Judge threatening with jail?"
The judge replied "YOU".
I again, to the record, stated "I am not YOU, so keep your hands off me!"
The bailiffs looked at the judge and never touched me, I walked out and never went back, since they did not even know who they were claiming the defendant was.
It is too easy when you really know what their game is!!!
Anonymous Coward 20901334
They use a fictional character which is your name in all CAPITAL letters. They try to get you to admit that you are this fictional character. If you deny that fictional character is you, there is nothing they can do to you.
Yep, I did not even have to deny it was "me", I told the record me being "me" was self-evident, that cut them off because now they would have to prove otherwise, which is impossible, I can never "be" something I am not!
I do not have a "legal name" and I defy any man or woman walking this earth to prove I do.
And yes, the LEGAL NAME is part of the Mark of the BEAST.

Author Kirk Whitney
When Kirk Whitney cultivated a habit of daily prayer, along with that habit came a prayer list. He came to realize that worry, regrets and sorrow are thoughts that are pleading to become prayers.
Kirk Whitney reflects on the Lord's Prayer: since we offend God on a daily basis, we would hope forgiveness occurs with the same frequency. But forgiving people daily? That's a tall order. Especially when you consider that we sometimes have to forgive people for the same thing over and over again.
Kirk Whitney applies the Kondo method of decluttering to his exercise of faith, considering this question for each activity: "Does this deepen my faith or my appreciation of the faith?"
Kirk Whitney shares how economic principles apply not only to life, but to faith itself.
