California wildfires. We're used to hearing about them in summer and fall.
Consider, however, some notable wildfires in the Golden State, and nearby locations, since December 2013:
- Late December: Big Sur fire destroyed over 900 acres and 34 homes destroyed. It was the first December red flag warning ever issued for the Bay Area
- Mid-January: Fires erupt in the delta northeast of the Bay Area, including one on Kimball Island, prompting evacuations.
- Late January: Rare January red flag warning in the Sierra; two wildfires in the coastal range of northwest Oregon, one of the most reliably wet locations during that time of year.
- Late April and mid-May: Several fast-spreading wildfires in parts of Southern California.

Average monthly precipitation in San Francisco. Note the dry season running from May through September.

Typical Fire Season Peak
Summer into early fall is typically the peak for California wildfires, particularly for Southern California. The state's 20 largest wildfires on record dating to 1932 have all occurred from June through October.
Vegetation dries out during the summer, the state's dry season. Shifting winds and lightning strikes from occasional afternoon summer thunderstorms can start new fires or spread existing ones.
By late September or October, hot, dry Santa Ana and Diablo winds return, capable of quickly turning any small brush fire into an inferno. Santa Ana winds are most common from October through March, but can occur anytime from September through June.
As the wet season sets in later in November and December, the number and frequency of fire events tends to diminish as snow blankets the Sierra and moisture returns to the soil through the winter months.
Again, that's a typical scenario.
Setup leading to enhanced fire danger in California in from late April through mid-May 2014.
2013-2014: Not Typical At All
What happens when California's wet season essentially doesn't happen?
The year 2013 was California's driest on record, dating to 1895. Persistent high pressure aloft over the eastern Pacific Ocean and West Coast effectively blocked most moisture-laden storms from reaching the Golden State by diverting the jet stream well to the north in the fall, winter and early spring of 2013-2014.
This was also the third dry winter in a row in the Golden State.
Prolonged warmth helped sap any moisture in the ground. May 2013 through April 2014 was the hottest such period on record in California.
Most anomalous was the prolonged warmth in January 2014. According to Christopher Burt from Weather Underground, this heat wave may have been the most anomalous heat event in the U.S. since the March 2012 exceptional warm spell.
By the typical April 1 seasonal peak, snowpack in the Sierra was a paltry 32 percent of average. This not only meant more of the Sierra and foothills were free of snowcover and available for drying earlier than usual, but was also a worrisome sign for those dependent on spring snowmelt for water supply and reservoir replenishment.
As of mid-May, just under 77 percent of California was classified as in extreme drought, the second-worst category in the weekly Drought Monitor analysis.
The result of all this: more fires occurring throughout the calendar.
As of May 10, 1,351 fires had been documented in California so far in 2014, almost double the five-year average for that period (711 fires), though the acreage burned is near average.
Unfortunately, with the wet season now over, no significant drought-relieving rain or mountain snow can be expected until at least October.

Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
It is the greatest biblio-climax of any film since "Fahrenheit 451," although Truffaut's prayer was that reading might yet survive calamity and carry the torch of the civilized. Detachment snufffs out that faith; books it warns us, are the first thing to go. [19 March 2012, p.91]
Nobody's idea of "Mr. Holland's Opus," but it winds up in a similar place, more or less.
Adrien Brody deserves superlatives for his acting in the alternately mesmerizing and maddening Detachment.
When it stays in the classroom, Detachment is a scrappy testament - to the futility of even trying to reach students who are cut off from the possibilities of knowledge, and to the way that our teachers are slowly being driven nuts.
A movie you keep expecting to fizzle because of its punching-the-air gracelessness, but there's something weirdly effective about the artistic desperation, which includes inserts of chalkboard animation and to-the-camera testimonials.
Adrien Brody, delivering his finest performance since "The Pianist," plays the central role of the disaffected Henry Barthes.
People will either love Detachment or hate it, and either way it provides powerful testimony to the unrivaled passion and undiminished craft of director Kaye, whose notoriety in the film industry is matched by his near-total invisibility to the general public.
For all its untrammeled excesses - and Kaye has proved that he'd sooner torpedo his own career than accept a little constructive trammeling - Detachment is almost forcibly moving, body-slamming its audience into submission.
Ultimately, Detachment invites us to feel precisely what it warns against – detached.
The shriller its didacticism, the more unhinged it becomes. But even at its most ludicrous - when it is shouting into your ear - its sheer audacity grabs your attention.
Comes across like the creation of a precocious student. I don't mean that to be a damning critique, though Detachment is a mesmerizing misfire -- it's just that it has the uncomplicated earnestness and hyperbolic melodrama of teenage poetry.
It's nice to see righteous anger in a movie. If only the education drama Detachment knew what to do with it.
The movie is one big scream, clichéd and hardly credible as an oblique call to civility.
Scripter Lund, himself an ex-teacher, delivers a story that lacks nuance, and mixes badly with Kaye's impatient edits, Dutch angles and extreme close-ups.
[Director Kaye's] dedication to the material is admirable, but his tactic of following one dismal development with an even more depressing one comes to seem monotonous and pointless.
I didn't believe a word of the film and found myself feeling nothing but (I'm sure this wasn't Kaye's point) detachment.
Movies about teachers are flypaper for overblown armchair crusaderism, and this overbearingly cynical attempt gets my vote for worst offender yet.
The movie has an undeniable visceral power. It is also a loud, grating wallow in dime-store despair, a cheap and hollow button-puncher.
Detachment drives a coffin nail through a noble profession with such ruthless virulence that it makes no point at all.
Endng in risible bathos, Tony Kaye's urban high school melodrama is all about the cute teacher's crises and the girls who love him.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Health Center
Menopause and RA: What to Expect
In this article
Every woman is different. Some with rheumatoid arthritis find that menopause can affect their RA.
Researchers aren't sure why, but hormones seem to play a role in RA. Nearly three times as many women get the disease as men. Many women who have it see their symptoms improve while they're pregnant. This may be because their estrogen levels go up during pregnancy.
Estrogen levels drop around the time of menopause. When that happens, RA symptoms may worsen. Some women first get symptoms around the time they start menopause.
You might think that taking estrogen would reduce RA symptoms along with the symptoms of menopause, but that doesn't seem to be the case. And because hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is linked with heart disease -- another increased risk for women with rheumatoid arthritis - doctors rarely recommend it for treating menopause symptoms in women with RA.
Osteoporosis Risk
Rheumatoid arthritis makes osteoporosis more likely. So does menopause. Those are good reasons for women with RA to get their bone density levels checked and make sure they get enough calcium and vitamin D.
Your rheumatologist can calculate your odds of getting a bone fracture over the next 10 years by giving you a DEXA scan to measure your bone density. They'll find the best treatment or prevention plan for you. Your doctor may recommend that you take prescription drugs to keep up your bone density and strength.
Sex and Intimacy
RA can sometimes make it tough to have a good sex life. On top of that, menopause can increase vaginal dryness, making sex painful. Many women with RA also have Sjögren's syndrome, an immune system condition that attacks moisture-producing glands in the body. It can cause vaginal dryness and make sex painful. Talk to your doctor about lubricants that may help.
If you're concerned about joint pain during sex, these ideas can help: Some positions -- like lying side by side with your partner -- can take the stress off your hips or other affected joints. You can also plan intimacy for the times of day when you usually feel less pain.
Menopause and pain can affect your desire. Your partner may also be afraid that they'll cause you pain. It can help if both of you talk together with a doctor or counselor.

Finding a politician with absolutely nothing to say in front of a television camera is a rarity.
Connie Chung managed to locate one Thursday night.
U.S. Rep. Gary Condit, D-Calif., finally broke his long silence regarding the disappearance of former intern Chandra Levy, but 23.6 million viewers heard little of substance during Chung's much-hyped television interview.
This is not a knock on Chung, who did her best to get the congressman to answer her questions and did not let him off the hook.
Chung was fishing for answers, but Condit successfully wormed his way through the half-hour interview with responses that would have made former President Clinton envious.
Condit responded in true Clintonian fashion by repeatedly reciting a statement that he had "made mistakes" in his marriage but otherwise would not address his reported affair with Levy "out of respect" to the Levy family's wishes.
At this point, the congressman should have been asked why the interview even took place, but this is secondary.
Of primary concern is the disappearance of a young woman and obtaining information that can either locate her or determine what happened.
Condit, who appeared more concerned with salvaging what little is left of his political career and sullied public image, only added more questions than answers.

Keep On Trucking With These Great Repair Ideas
Surely you have had nasty car repair experiences in the past. You may have had good ones at well, but no one likes shelling out tons of money and wondering what is really going on. Instead, you want the knowledge necessary to make well-informed decisions next time you are dealing with car repairs.
Keep an eye on the wet puddles under your car. Color and consistency may help you figure out the issue. If it's pastel blue, yellow-green or fluorescent-orange, it may be an antifreeze leak due to a bad hose, leaking radiator, or water pump, or an overheated engine. Dark brown or black oily puddles can mean a bad gasket or seal is causing the leak. Red oily puddles are usually caused by a power-steering or transmission fluid leak. Clear puddles usually aren't anything to worry about, as they may be condensation from the vehicle.
In addition to basic tire changing equipment, keep a plastic tote filled with DIY auto repair supplies in the trunk of your car in case of emergencies. Fill it with at least a quart each of motor oil, transmission fluid, steering fluid, and brake fluid and a gallon of water. Add a can of penetrating oil spray, a roll of duct tape, twine, bungee cords and basic tools so that you can manage minor repairs on the road.
Even if you aren't particularly handy, there are a few DIY repairs that almost anyone can do. For example, changing the windshield wiper blades is really just a matter of snapping off one set and snapping on another. Look in your user's manual or use a measuring tape to determine what size you need. Don't be dismayed if the store where you purchase your windshield wiper blades only has one in the right size. You can use one that is an inch shorter on the passenger side of your windshield without causing any problems.
If you have never done any auto repair on your own, you should stick with small jobs and do lots of homework to learn how to do larger jobs. Be certain not to start taking your car apart if you aren't sure how to put it back together. Before starting any car repair job, be sure you have all the necessary parts and tools in place and that you know exactly what you need to do to complete the job from start to finish.
Know the basics. If you have to take your car into the shop, be prepared to let them know what the make and model of your car is. Also, the actual trim level is important as it will give the technician more information about the engine, transmission and anything else that may be important.
Your car owners manual is actually a valuable guide to the workings of your car. That means that you should not trash it as soon as you leave the dealer. It can tell you everything from what that light on your dash means, to how to perform basic maintenance on your particular model.
Keep an eye on your transmission. If it's performing poorly, it could be the actual component, a plugged filter, or a disconnected hose. Have your mechanic check the simple things first since repairing transmissions can be expensive. Common issues to watch out for are no response or a delayed response when shifting from neutral to drive or reverse, hard or abrupt shifts between the gears, failing to shift during acceleration, and slippage when accelerating.
Keep a basic repair kit in your car trunk at all times. A simple kit consisting of wrenches, jumper cables, screws, and a jack can be a lifesaver if your car breaks down on the road. This will allow you to make small repairs on the spot, saving you the cost of an expensive tow truck.
There's no reason that anyone should have to deal with auto mechanics anymore. Something as simple as auto repair is made into nightmare due to mechanics, and it has to stop. Take the given tips and start repairing your own vehicle. You'll be much better at it than any mechanic you've ever visited.

What can a moral realist say about why we should take morality seriously and about the relation between morality and rationality? I take off from Christine Korsgaard's criticism of moral realism on this score. The aim is to achieve an understanding of the relation between moral and rational properties and of the role of practical deliberation on a realist view. I argue that the justification for being concerned with rational and moral normative properties may not be an aspect of our minds to which we have access. I argue against a view that gives automatic pride of place to the rational properties of our mind by drawing attention to valuable non-rational modes of thought such as creative, imaginative and instinctive thought. Thus the value of taking account of rationality is contingent on its benefits. But this is not why we should be taking account of morality.

Stuff like this happens a lot. It's what happens when you tie in money and political power to law enforcement. See "Carmen Ortiz" if you need another example.
#12 Feb 1, 2013
I am not a mathematician, but it does not require a slide rule to figure out that there is no profit in arresting people that are indigent.
This whole incident with Joey Osborne and his truck strikes me more of an incident at the sandbox than a legitimate police action.
" I want that truck!"
After watching more than five hours of Osborne's trial I felt sorry for everyone involved. Especially the prosecution, they had a junk case and did their best but the investigation was too flawed. Then at the hearing about the disposition of the truck,$432 and a damn cell phone, the Commonwealth Attorney seemed to forget he did not prevail and still wanted the truck, the money and that ultra valuable Samsung cell phone.
The trial had some humorous spots though. Deputy Hull was ordered to stop Osborne's truck. When asked why he stopped them it was because Osborne was going 58 in the 55 zone. I wish he could have told the truth, and just said he stopped the truck because he was told to.
I was left with the feeling that nearly every witness was lying through his or her teeth. It is my considered opinion Stockton Woods isn't qualified to judge a pie eating contest lest alone a jury trial.
The line between who is the good guys and who are the bad guys is grayer than ever. Especially when you have the top cop admitting he "continually" let some people go to pursue others.

Cant wait to see what is going to happen next.
#14 Feb 4, 2013
Thank you everyone for your support, this has been the hardest thing i have ever had to go thru short of my grandmothers death which happend during this case. Judge Woods is as guilty as Tim Fagan, he tried at every corner to shut my lawyer down on everything she tried to do and he wanted to just give the truck to them and put me in prison for 16 years i don't know if its on the videos or not but when the jury went out to decide my fate they asked for 16 years flat. But i held my ground, thanks to my mother and didn't take there offer of it going away if i just gave them my truck, finally justice will be done and the KY court of appeals will decide if i get my truck back this month from FEB 1 to the 28th, plz pray for me and again thanks for your support and stand up againist the corruption and ask for judge woods to step down cause he is involved as well......
#15 Feb 4, 2013
In case you don't get it back, how much do you think I should bid on it?
What was the mileage on that truck anyway?
#16 Feb 5, 2013
The mileage is in question and had been since the beginning. Fegan did not do an impound/inventory sheet when the truck was taken and several people seen him driving it in Lewis county but were too afraid to testify to it in court.
#17 Feb 5, 2013
Fegan testified he had never drove it.
It's been sitting so long it's more than likely worth little more than scrap value at this point.
#19 Feb 5, 2013
Well of course he did because if he said he was driving it he would have got in trouble then because they are not aloud to touch the cars intil the whole process is over idiot, and its true that he was driving it cause i have ppl that saw him driving it...
#20 Feb 5, 2013
Ok, I believe you.

Tennessee Christmas by Lindi Ortega
The quirky tendencies she showed on her recent Little Red Boots album are largely toned down on this rustic, bluegrassy affair, emerging only on the lightweight novelty "All I Want for Christmas," a yee-hawed wish for a real-live cowboy. Lindi gets closer to the emotional heart of the holidays and the spirit of selflessness on the tender "Christmas Carol." The song's potential isn't fully realized, as it's left sounding unfinished—which is true of this entire 4-song package, a likeable but modest gift that wraps almost as quickly as it's opened.

Thanks for your help,
You could change it in the class. The plugin is designed only for German users. If the app stores of other countries are to be used, the URLs must be adapted himself.
Ok thanks for your help. For french users, you have only to change fr in the class, and in the file wp-appbox/wp-appbox.php you have to change http://clk.Tradedoubler.com/click?p=23761 by http://clk.Tradedoubler.com/click?p=23753 and it works !
Congratulations to the German team that developed this cool wordpress plugin :)
With next update you could change the trade doubler country-id and the app store urls easily with functions in the functions.php of the theme. Advantage: You must not repeat after updating the plugin. Hope it helps.
See here (Unfortunately only in German ;-)): http://www.blogtogo.de/wp-appbox-tradedoubler-id-und-store-url-updatesicher-aendern/
Perfect for tradedoubler and thanks for update :)

Townshend man charged with hate crime assault of VPIRG canvasserJuly 17,2013By SUSAN SMALLHEER
Staff Writer
BRATTLEBORO A 62-year-old Townshend man pleaded innocent Tuesday to charges of racially-based simple assault for a July 2012 incident involving a canvasser with the Vermont Public Interest Research Group.
Herman Donna is charged with threatening an African-American man, Maroni Minter, 27, of Burlington, who was canvassing on behalf of the Montpelier-based nonprofit organization. He was not injured in the incident.
The simple assault charge, with a hate crime enhancement, could land Donna in prison for two years with a $2,000 fine.
According to the Vermont State Police, Minter believed Donna had a gun in his hands and threatened to shoot him, and called him racial epithets. Police said that while Donna did not own a gun, he admitted using a long-barreled lighter and a garden tool to threaten Minter.
Donna then got into his sport utility vehicle and chased Minter, who was traveling by bicycle. Minter told police he was carrying his VPIRG identifying information, as well as a clipboard and brochures about the groups programs. Minter told police that a woman at the home told him they were not interested, and he had turned to leave when he was yelled at by a man.
Minter stated that he turned around and observed the male reach up and grab a gun, described as a black colored pistol, from above the porch doorway, state police said.
VPIRG regularly canvasses during the summer, raising money for its programs on health, the environment and the economy, state police said.
State police investigated the July 17, 2012, incident at the time, and charges were brought a year later by the Vermont attorney generals office. Assistant Attorney General Ultan Doyle, who is handling the case, did not return a call for comment for the delay in bringing the charges.
According to a press release from the attorney generals office, Donna used several racial epithets and chased the canvasser from his property, while threatening to kill him.
Minter believed that Donna had a handgun and he told police that Donna threatened to shoot him repeatedly, and even followed him down his driveway at 216 Jay Road in an SUV. Police determined that Donna actually had a garden tool and a lighter with a tube extending from the handle.
Minter, who was on a VPIRG-issued bicycle, said he tried to get away from Donna as quickly as possible, but his bike wasnt working well, so he went to a neighbors home to ask to use the phone and to get away from Donna.
The neighbor told police Minter was shaking and appeared very afraid after the incident. Minter told police that on a scale of 1 to 10, his fear was the maximum.
Donna and his wife Deborah Donna told police their home had been broken into a few years ago, and he has now become paranoid so he locks the house and cars to keep from being burglarized again.
He said he is vigilant and watches out for his neighbors too and he was not sure what Minter was up to nor did he recognize him, the police officer wrote.
Deborah Donna said her husband did yell at Minter, but never threatened to kill him.
Herman Donna denied making any racially-based statements, the affidavit filed in court stated.
Paul Burns, executive director of the Vermont Public Interest Research Group, said last summers incident with the canvasser was an isolated incident, and he declined further comment because it was a criminal case.
He said that VPIRGs experiences going door-to-door were overwhelmingly positive. VPIRG started canvassing in Windham County again last week.
Burns, who said he was not aware that the charges had been brought, said the canvasser in question was again working for VPIRG this summer.

Hot answers tagged multi-tool
Its a Chain tool, the long bit should screw into the back (bottom side in the pic) of the other bit to provide a handle. You can then put an hex key into the twisty bit at the right hand end.
Minimally, you want to be able to tighten all of the bolts on your bike (likely a few hex keys will do this) and an appropriate screwdriver for adjusting derailer & brake pulls. Separate from a multi-tool, a pair of tire levers are the other tool you should carry with you. I would add a chain tool to the above list after being left in a state where I ...
For use at home, there's no question that separate keys are more useful and more economical. A multi-tool has limitations that make it cumbersome to use in tight spots because all the keys are attached to the tool. Separate keys suffer no such limitation. Separate keys can be bought and replaced individually and very inexpensively -- not so with a multi-...
First, you need to familiarize yourself with your bike. If you're not familiar with your bike to begin with, you'll have a really hard time buying the right tools for it. Once you have an idea of which tools you'll actually need, then it will be quite clear which multi tool to buy.
As others have indicated, it depends on both your bike and the type of riding you're doing. If you're just tooling around town (get it, "tooling"?) with no particular destination or schedule, you can probably get away with not much more than a set of tire levers. A pump is handy too so that you don't have to walk your bike to a gas station if you get a ...
Yep, a chain tool, or "chain breaker". They come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. You should note that a given width chain needs a specific chain tool, so the one you have may not work well with your chain. And never just get a chain tool and trust it to work (and be workable by you) without trying it first on some scrap chain of the appropriate ...
Tire levers Appropriate wrenches to tighten loose bolts, adjust brakes, etc. Probably means a few sizes of Allen (hex) wrench. Metric. Smallest bolts are probably on brakes and biggest under saddle, but varies. The rest, like a chain tool, are a lot less likely to be needed.
A multitool basically only needs to include the Allen wrenches that fit your bike, plus screwdrivers to fit screws on the bike. It doesn't hurt if the tool purports to include a tire lever, but I wouldn't rely on one in a multitool to be any good -- you should carry regular levers or a Quick Stick if you intend to be prepared to repair a tire.
For most modern bikes you will need a tool with at least 4, 5 and 6 hex wrenches and a phillips screwdriver. Make sure that the various bolts on your bike can be tightened by the tool you got. You will need a separate tire lever (usually two of them) to deal with flat tires.
the individual keys give you more flexibility than the multitool, but if you're anything like me it won't take long before you lose one of the common ones such as a 5 or 6. Personally I've evolved over the years to own a couple of multitools and a couple more key sets - that way I can generally find something when I need it. That's at home - on a ride the ...
One for every removeable or adjustable part on your bike (including tyres). With the exception of those you will be unable to repair/fix on the trail, such has hubs and bottom brackets. They need not all be combined with one tool though (sometimes individual tools can be lighter)
The jobs will dictate the need of tools. Look at the hardware you have, and what needs to be turned to perform common repairs and adjustments: Flat tires (remove and reattach wheels and brakes), adjust pressure Seat height Brake adjustment Gear adjustment Allen Wrenches for the size bolts you have. Tire Levers. Potentially a small screwdriver bit, ...
You should always have a multi-tool. There are few cases where I really need separate Allen keys on the road. However, I tend to keep a long 5mm Allen key for tightening Drop bar lever clamps, which can't be accessed easily by a stubby multi tool. Ball ends can help when you can't got a straight shot at a bolt and have to try to mate the wrench at a ...
What I carry: 5 mm hex wrench - used for most bolts on most bikes I have seen (only common exception is the seatpost) a phillips and a standard screwdriver - for adjusting both derailers and both brakes spoke tool patch kit one spare tube, in case of a really bad puncture a pump and a couple of tire levers, obviously a piece of wire, some patches for ...
When choosing a tool consider: Is this tool applicable for my bike? (If your bike doesn't have a 13mm nut then a 13mm wrench is pointless.) Do I know how to use the tool and do the repair? (A spoke wrench is pointless if you don't know how to change spokes and tune the wheel to some degree. Also, you might need some supplies for repairs. So without ...
Yep, chain repair tool. But I will disagree with Moab's comment. Though it is hard to judge from the angle of the pictures, this chain tool looks a little weird. On most chain tools one of the two ridges (usually the upper one closest to the handle or screw) is thicker than the other. This is because the chain is set on the upper ridge to loosen a stiff ...

"As we move forward with the transformation of warrior care, we will continue to refine and adjust our programs and policies to better support wounded, ill and injured Soldiers and their Families."
- Brig. Gen. Gary H. Cheek, director of the Army's Warrior Care and Transition Office and assistant surgeon general for Warrior Care.
"We asked the sheiks to identify their needs, and medical service was one of their highest priorities. A combined medical engagement was one of the easier things to do. A lot of the bigger projects, like getting the canals working and other stuff, involve higher-level influence and a lot of money, so this was relatively low-budget, high-payoff."
-Capt. John Zdeb, a company commander with the 7th Infantry Regiment in Iraq

Changes to Warrior Transition Units
What are Warrior Transition Units (WTUs)?
WTUs provide the full spectrum of administrative and Family support services including help with pay issues, housing, special benefits, transportation, vocational training and education opportunities and recreation and fitness to wounded, ill and injured Soldiers.
What has changed within Warrior Transition Units?
The Army has called for an increase in staffing of its WTUs to preserve primary focus on wounded and severely injured Soldiers. The Army has directed every one of the 35 Warrior Transition Units be staffed to 100 percent of the personnel required to keep pace with the number of Soldiers assigned. Additionally the Army has revised the WTU admission criteria to reflect a priority on Soldiers requiring intensive case management. A third change to WTUs is the streamlining of the disability evaluation process.
How will these changes impact warriors in transition?
There should be no negative impact on warriors in transition. Warriors in transition will continue to receive the best treatment available. The staffing adjustments will ease the burden on cadre and add to the efficiency of the unit. The refinement of the exit and entry criteria means that Soldiers who do not require an intensive level of care may be able to be assigned to their parent unit instead of the WTU.
When will these changes take effect?
These changes took effect right away, starting with the increase in personnel within WTUs.
Why is this important to the Army?
Apart from war itself, the care of our warriors in transition and their Families is the top priority of the Army. Leading this effort is the Army's Warrior Care and Transition Office which provides strategic direction for plans, policies and resources concerning programs dedicated to the support, care and healing of wounded, ill and injured Soldiers.

"where the sky meets the mountains" Madonna di Campiglio by domenicococozza
Madonna di Campiglio Travel Guide: 39 reviews and 105 photos
The alpine skiing in Madonna di Campiglio takes some beating. I've been skiing for 30 years all over Europe but, Madonna is the best all round resort I have found. Great hotels, great food, nice people and no queues for the lifts. PARADISE
Eating out is a must. There are so many good restaurants, a two week holiday is not long enough.

Great page about Madonna di Campiglio....Im going looking for even more info...you've just piqued my curiosity here!
Lovely winter photos here.
Grazie, I think I found it - first page I visited - your best ski venue!
I'll go to Verona and take a bus here! I'll take a side trip here from Venice! But boy..the hotels sure look expensive! Are there any hostels here?
Wonderful mountain scenery = I see you enjoy skiing so this would be a perfect place!
Splendid. This is just in our 'backyard' and a cool. Place. Lots of our family friends now own those bars and restaurants. Thanks for sharing it.
Amazing pictures. It brought back some nice memories ;-)
Seems to be a fantastic place for ski-ing. I've never been there... Thanks for sharing.
now that is a mountain!
Thank you for the tips on the dei dogi hotel in Venice. It looks like our tour group has already booked the hotel. :(

Yes, it's taking a while. This is for two reasons.
1.) I accidentally wrote the entire codebase to a non existent floppy disk, and carefully unmounted said non existent floppy disk - meaning I lost everything because I didn't have anything like a recent backup (old v0.1 code doesn't count since the two aren't even remotely the same codebase - entirely restructured so it's sane).
2.) v0.2 is far ahead of v0.1. v0.2 will be released when I've added the following to what I've got: physical and virtual memory managers, module manager. I will then release v0.2a and follow that as quickly as possible with v0.2b which will include at least a floppy driver and ext2fs driver. v0.2 itself will finally be released when I write a basic console for it, to be loaded off disk (at the current moment in time, debugging messages are sent to bochs debug ports - with the occasional screen message if debugging on real hardware).
Coming along nicely.
v0.2 of Pexio will be a complete rewrite so that the code is more organised and flexible.
I've now got a tasksheet of things to do before v0.2.0 is released. Should be fairly interesting, code-wise. Major things in v0.2.0 should be memory management, multitasking, a loader for PIC and ELF as modules, a console as such a module, and the ability to switch back and forth from real mode.
Also, I'll start rationalising this documentation. I'll sort the commenting in the code, and make it easier to read, get some separate documentation (RTF or TXT format TBH) up, run up some UML diagrams, get a project roadmap sorted, and get the site up.... read more
I've uploaded the v0.1.1 Full and Binary (floppy image) packages, and hidden the v0.1.0 package. This is because v0.1.1 has only had the code refactored, and includes a script and instructions to setup the environment correctly. This is the first 'proper' release.
Just took an extra couple days to run through the code and check it a little closer. I'll upload documentation when I get there, but for the moment the code's reasonably well documented with comments.
To use this source, you will require GRUB (at this stage, I'm not relying on being booted from anything in particular, so you should theoretically be able to boot this from a normal GRUB HDD install).... read more
Well, that's the first version I'll upload to here completed. Now I just need to prepare the source and binary packages (upload them), write up some documentation (upload that), and then I can march onward.
The version numbers aren't necessarily very obvious, obviously... Last number is a build number - number of times I've run 'make all' since the time I decided that it was vX.N.0. This probably covers bugfixes OR code that's working towards the next revision (the second number) number (but isn't complete yet, nor even safe - therefore is to be considered HIGHLY, HIGHLY unstable). The revision number covers every time I do something only slightly more major than a build (like v0.1.0 will be GDT, IDT, PICs remapped and some basic interrupt stuff). The version number will be updated for each collection of these revisions that I deem suitable for a version increase (so v1.0.0 might be the first version that would reasonably be deemed an operating system - rather than just code that happens to function as part of an OS).... read more
Well, having got it straight in my head what is going to be in the first release (tight on time just now, I'll post later), I've started coding. Nothing much just now, just the basic framework for the kernel, a few ASM routines, makefile, etc. Shouldn't take too long to get this bit up and running when I get a chance to code it (probably this weekend).
I'm still advancing with the planning of Pexio. I think I've just about got it clear enough in my head, and noted down sufficiently, that I should be able to start churning out the first bits of code and documentation fairly soon.

Closet DIY Tricks and Tools: Industrial Pipe, With a Twist
To overcome an odd configuration or sketchy walls, build a scaffold using commercial Speed-Rail fittings (hollaender.com) and closet rods. Use them to make a system supported by vertical rods screwed to the ceiling and floor or to make freestanding racks. The result looks like other industrial-pipe fixes but does them one better: System options include connectors with swiveling joints that can handle awkward angles for just a few dollars.

Elearning and MOOCs represent a fundamental disruption in the continuum of traditional higher education, initiating an unprecedented revolution in education that will induce mayhem before resolving itself into a unique and evolved system.
The new universe of higher education will empower more people across the globe and increase the general level of human intelligence, a democratic system of education that benefits human evolution globally.
Darin L. Hammond
In the midst of a turbulent Continental Congress in Philadelphia, 1976, Thomas Jefferson rallied the unconvinced delegates with revolutionary language in the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson took the roll of author reluctantly, feeling that more capable authors could state the claims more effectively.
However, nothing matches his brilliance in separating the American people from England and oppression. He declares:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. ...That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Thomas Jefferson, The Declaration of Independence
Higher education needs a revolutionary voice capable of declaring the causes which impel the people to alter or abolish the traditional regime. This voice will emerge soon, and we will recognize and be compelled by the call for revolt.
We do not yet know that voice, but just as the revolution had already begun when Jefferson put it in writing, the battle has ensued in education. New voices will inspire and unite, while at the same time dividing and initiating a bloodletting.
David McCullough, author of 1776, describes the chaos created by the Declaration:
The year 1776, celebrated as the birth year of the nation and for the signing of the Declaration of Independence, was for those who carried the fight for independence forward a year of all-too-few victories, of sustained suffering, disease, hunger, desertion, cowardice, disillusionment, defeat, terrible discouragement, and fear, as they would never forget, but also of phenomenal courage and bedrock devotion to country, and that, too they would never forget.
David McCullough, 1776
The brief film I present here introduces a series I am creating regarding this revolution: "Higher Education Explosion Series: Part 1 An Introduction to Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)." I begin with MOOCs because they are at the front of the battle, disrupting education more than any other movement in history.

Trailer Mash 09-07-12Bachelorettes, divorcées and one new movie that really hates advertising
- 1 of 7

The Inbetweeners
See all of this week's opening movies in a 60-second mashup here.
A fondly delivered catalog of gross-out jokes about virginity, alcohol and school, the original series of The Inbetweeners is what you might imagine a British TV version of American Pie would look like, or a cruder Freaks and Geeks. Judging from the red-band trailer, the movie is no exception, while also paying humble tribute to a 1970s tradition of transporting unseemly British sitcoms to Spanish resorts, the better to make even less seemly movie versions. (Meanwhile a U.S. reversion has already been made for MTV, and like the American Red Dwarf from 1992, it will inevitably end up as a shaming footnote in the careers of the young American actors featured therein.) But if you're a 13-year-old boy, this trailer may well be the funniest thing you will see all year, and if you watch the entire movie you will likely explode.

Scripture: Mark 9:38-43, 45, 47-4838 John said to him, "Teacher, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he was not following us." 39 But Jesus said, "Do not forbid him; for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon after to speak evil of me. 40 For he that is not against us is for us.41 For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ, will by no means lose his reward.
Meditation: Do you rejoice in the good that others do? Jesus reprimands his disciples for their jealousy and suspicion. They were upset that someone who was not of their company was performing a good work in the name of Jesus. They even "forbade" the man "because he was not following us." Jesus' reply is filled with wisdom: "No one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon after to speak evil of me." Are we not like the disciples when we get upset at the good deeds of others who seem to shine more than us? Paul says that "love is not jealous... but rejoices in the right" (1 Corinthians 13:4,6).
How can we overcome envy? With the love that God has put into our
hearts through the gift of the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5). The Holy
Spirit purifies our heart and frees us from our disordered
passions, such as envy, jealously, greed, and bitterness. God's
love is a generous and selfless love which is
wholly oriented towards our good and the good of all his
creatures. The love that God places in our hearts seeks
the highest good of our neighbor. God's love purifies and frees us
from all
envy and jealousy - and it compels us to give generously,
especially to those
who lack what they need.
God rewards those who do good to others
Every one in need has a claim on us because they are dear to God who created them in his own image and likeness (Genesis 1:26-27). God created us in love for love. We are most free and happy when we love as he loves. The love and charitable help we show to our neighbor also expresses the gratitude we have for the abundant mercy and kindness of God towards us. Jesus declared that any kindness shown and any help given to those in need would not lose its reward. Jesus never refused to give to anyone in need who asked for his help. As his disciples we are called to be kind and generous as he is. Are you grateful for God's mercy and kindness towards you and are you ready to show that same kindness and generosity towards your neighbor?
Gregory of Nyssa, an early church father (330-395 AD), comments on this passage: "God never asks his servants to do what is impossible. The love and goodness of his Godhead is revealed as richly available. It is poured out like water upon all. God furnished to each person according to his will the ability to do something good. None of those seeking to be saved will be lacking in this ability, given by the one who said: 'whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ, will by no means lose his reward'" (Mark 9:41). Do you allow the love of Christ to transform your heart that you may treat your neighbor with kindness and mercy?Avoiding evil and the near occasion of sin
"Lord Jesus, free my heart from envy and jealousy, and every disordered thought and wrong desire, that I may always treat each person with respect and goodness for the glory of your name."
Psalm 19:8-10, 12-14
8 The precepts of the LORD
are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;
9 the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever; the ordinances of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
12 But who can discern his errors? Clear me from hidden faults.
13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
Daily Quote from the early church fathers: The merciful works of the unbaptized, by Augustine of Hippo, 354-430 A.D.
"His situation (Mark 9:38) was in some ways parallel
to that of one who, while not yet embracing the sacraments of
Christ, nevertheless esteems the Christian name so far as even to
welcome Christians and accommodate oneself to their service for
this very reason and no other - that they are Christians. This is
the type of person of whom it was said that he would not lose his
reward (Matthew 10:42; Mark 9:41). This does not mean, however,
that such individuals ought prematurely to imagine themselves
quite safe and secure simply on account of this kindness which
they cherish toward Christians, while at the same time remaining
uncleansed by Christ's baptism, and not thereby incorporated into
the unity of his body. Such persons are now already being guided
by the mercy of God in such a way that they may also come to
receive these loftier gifts, and so depart this present world in
safety. Such persons assuredly are more profitable servants even
before they become a part of the body of Christ, than those who,
while already bearing the Christian name and partaking in the
sacraments, recommend courses of action which are only fitted to
drag others along with them into eternal punishment." (excerpt from HARMONY OF THE GOSPELS

Guys, calm yourselves.
To make the business pay fines while waiting for a court to decide if they're liable is _not_ a "victory." It's simple judicial caution and fairness.
If a private for-profit organization decided that it wasn't going to offer health insurance coverage to its Black, or Mormon, blue-eyed employees because of its "moral beliefs," would you be OK with that? That's exactly what's going on here, and the question is fairly being asked, can private religious beliefs be used as a justification for treating people unfairly? Me personally, I believe strongly that that the answer is a resounding, "no." However, that's for the legal system, not me, to decide.
So Hobby Lobby, you're being given the benefit of the doubt. That's not remotely the same thing as a "victory."

As I read the article, it seems that they are saying that Hobby Lobby is using their religious beliefs in interfering in the medical care of their employees. what it sounds like to me is that they are just asking that then not be compelled to pay for their contraceptives. They haven't threatened to fire anyone who uses them, they just don't want to be forced to pay for them. what is the issue?

So, for those who say that Hobby Lobby needs to pay for the medical care of "birth control", then if I believed that sacrificing a chicken would heal some illness I have, then why would they not have to pay for the chickens that I would need to sacrifice for my health.

@WRK.. um if it was scientifically proven that sacrificing a chicken worked,

Honestly, there are religions out there that don't believe in blood transfusions, surgeries, faith healing for diabetes (you remember those stories about how children have died because of this belief??). We want those people telling their employees what medical care they can and cannot have? Let common sense rule, thank you very much.

Should your boss be able to determine which prescription medications you take at
home? Should your boss have a say in how many children you have?
The principle of religious liberty protects your right to make moral decisions for yourself, not others. Obviously, a law that required Hobby Lobby's owners to use birth control would be a gross violation of their religious liberty. But the mandate doesn't do that. It merely requires that the 22,000 employees of Hobby Lobby be given the right, if they choose, to access birth control through a health-insurance plan.
Fundamentalist Christians might refuse to pay for a public school system that teaches evolution. Conservative Muslims might refuse to pay for public museums that may contain art that offends them. More to the point, a boss who believes in spiritual healing might refuse to provide medical coverage at all, arguing that only God, not a doctor, can make you well.

I hope a group of state governors join forces and try and stop the inclusion of birth control in the health care system. It is simply wrong to force anyone to pay the cost. Last time I checked Walmart has a family planning section that for cash will solve the problem. Wait, that's the issue. Why should we plan and be responsible when big brother will hand out all we need. This has nothing to do with religion. The current administration in it's blind desire to give has again found a way to take money from hard working people and give it to the "I'm entitled" generation. If you are going to procreate then maybe it is time to start acting the part of parent and adult.

Based on your analogy I think we need to review our current practices for teaching critical thinking skills in our public schools. What we're talking about is being forced to pay for someone to use birth control when you consider it morally wrong. What you're talking about is discrimination. There's not much similarity between the two.
This may seem like no big deal to many people. It's just birth control after all. What if instead we were talking about forcing companies to cover abortions? No one should be forced to pay for their employees to do something they consider morally wrong.

I absolutely agree that we ought to let common sense rule. The first step would be to repeal the law requiring employers to provide health insurance to their employees. There is no right to access birth control through a health insurance plan and there is certainly no right to demand that your employer pay for it. If an employer claims that spiritual or faith healing is the only way and refuses to pay for an employee health plan than so be it. People can choose whether or not they want to work for an employer and one of the criteria would be what kind of health insurance, if any, was offered. That is called freedom and it ought to work for the employer as well as the employee. Equally absurd is the assertion that Hobby Lobby's argument is similar to denying health insurance to blacks or Mormons or any other such group. Hobby Lobby doesn't want to pay for contraception for any of its employees, not just certain groups of their employees. If a person wants health insurance that pays for contraception, then they shouldn't work for Hobby Lobby.

@ Happy Valley HERETIC:
If a person or company (owners) have religious reasons for not believing in contraceptives (and yes, the vast majority of contraceptives are used for birth control), why is it so difficult for you or anyone else to respect their right to believe as they see fit? Isn't that part of what religious freedom stands for in our country?
When democrats tout how wonderful diversity is, does that mean only as long those diversities are in total agreement with your political and religious ideologies?
With all your many online comments, isn't that basically what you keep asking for and trying to promote... for others to try to understand your liberal viewpoints and allow you the right to believe as you see fit? Is it asking too much of you to give the same consideration in return?

Think about this; my wife can't use birth control pills for health reasons and I'm allergic to latex, so I have to go to the store and get the really expensive condoms to have any type of birth control. Shouldn't my employer have to pay for that? And yes I think it would be insane to try to foist that expense on the taxpayer or my employer, but if you think logically you will come to the conclusion that a case just like this will end up in courts eventually if the law continues as it is. So does the government use this as an opportunity to go in and "regulate" condom manufacturers? And if the owner of the company I work for is opposed to condom use for religious reasons, shouldn't he be able to oppose it?

Irish Potato Pie
Yield: 8 to 10 servings
This recipe, with slight adjustments, was brought over "on the boat" by the cook's great-great-aunt shortly after a potato famine in the 1880s. When asked why she had brought a potato pie (rather than a fruit pie) recipe with her, she'd answer that she had hoped that America would have an abundant supply of potatoes, as in Ireland there was "nary a sound potato to be had there. May God bring them back." Of course, God did, and we celebrate that with the fine legacy of Aunt Bridget's potato custard pie.

- 3 eggs
- 2 cups half-and-half or light cream
- 2 cups mashed potatoes (whipped smooth with no lumps)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon Irish whiskey, brandy, or sherry (optional)
- 1 unbaked 10-inch deep-dish pie shell with high fluted edge
- Freshly grated nutmeg
- Toasted slivered almonds
Instructions:Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs slightly. Stir in the half-and-half or cream, potatoes, sugar, vanilla, salt, and liquor (if using). Beat well until smooth. Cover the fluted edge of the pie shell with aluminum foil to prevent overbrowning. Pour the filling into the shell and sprinkle with nutmeg. Place on the center rack of the oven and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 15 to 18 minutes more, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Sprinkle the almonds around the outer edge and dust with additional nutmeg. Serve at room temperature; store in the refrigerator.

Welcome to the ACS Division of the History of Chemistry Homepage
Current ACS President Donna J. Nelson has proposed that a series of videos be created presenting the stories of chemists who showed great courage in the course of their scientific work. As a first step in this process, she requests that members of HIST send her nominations ( email@example.com ) by August 1, 2016. The information requested can be found in the linked flyer.
The HIST award for the Outstanding Paper Award for 2015 has been awarded to Prof. Matthew Lavine at Mississippi State University. The award is presented to the author of the best paper published in the Bulletin for the History of Chemistry during the previous three years, 2013, 2014, 2015.
