Embraer's board has approved the launch of two new business jets. The Brazilian manufacturer says development of the MLJ medium-light jet and MSJ mid-size jet will cost $ 750 million, supported by risk-sharing partners.
The MSJ is scheduled to enter service in the second half of 2012, and the smaller MLJ a year later. The two aircraft will be largely common, with different fuselage lengths but the same stand-up cabin cross-section. Avionics and engines will be common. Suppliers have not been announced.
The all-new MLJ and MSJ will fill the gap in Embraer´s business jet line-up between the Phenom 100 very-light jet and Phenom 300 light jet and its super mid-size Legacy 600 and large Lineage 1000.
The Phenom 100 is in flight testing and will enter service later this year. The larger Phenom 300 will fly by mid-year and enter service in the second half of 2009. The MSJ will carry eight passengers 2,800nm (5,200km) at Mach 0.80. The MLJ will carry four passengers 2,300nm at its long-range cruise speed.

Recently, Angie's List announced it will put plans to expand its headquarters in Indianapolis on hold based on the state's passage of a bill that many believe will allow businesses to discriminate against gay couples by citing religious beliefs. Angie's List joins a list of other businesses that have spoken out against the new law.
"We are putting the 'Ford Building Project' on hold until we fully understand the implications of the freedom restoration act on our employees, both current and future," Angie's List CEO Bill Oesterle said. "Angie's List is open to all and discriminates against none and we are hugely disappointed in what this bill represents."
For the remodeling community, Angie's List has long been a controversial topic. In response to a 2013 earnings report, one reader wrote in suggesting an industry boycott of Angie's List. Last year Remodeling asked our audience to weigh in on the subject. Many of you were unhappy with the company and spoke up in the comments.
Current news coverage may have members of the conservative religious
community jumping on the boycott Angie's List bandwagon.

Christian Grey Will See You Meow In The 'Fifty Shades' Cat Mash-up
He exercises control in all things, unless there's a catnip mouse around.
It's not quite as erotic as its source material, but this "Fifty Shades of Grey" trailer recast with adorable kittens instead of people still has its own unique appeal and 1000% more cat puns than the original.
The video is the latest entry from The Animal Collective, the twisted geniuses who never met a pop culture franchise they couldn't put a cat into. Although the feline version of Mr. Grey is more interested in toying with his clip-on abs than his co-star's emotions, the scene with the riding crop still translates impressively well.

I hate to say, you've got it all wrong. But I must.
Your theory falls to pieces when you look at Sherpas on Everest, darker than most of the Europeans they drag up the mountain. Melanin is not a reaction to average temperatures, but rather sun exposure. Very cold climates can be found in Africa, India, Pakistan, and "Latin" America. Sports you qualify as "summer" activities have a very low cost of entry. That's the biggest difference between "winter" sports and "summer" ones. To attain an elite level at ice skating requires extensive practice hours that must be paid for at a rink. There is no cost to play soccer in the park. Countdown before this thread is moved or deleted has officially begun.... |
Where I was born, in Scandinavia, sunlight is elusive, hence we're extremely pale. That's all melanin has to do with this topic.
I agree that finances are a factor in many sports, including skiing, polo and golf.
Hockey, however: not as much. I grew up on Canada, where every truck-driver's kid could play hockey. It's a national entitlement.
Yet, even in areas where the population is highly diverse (Toronto), you mostly only see Caucasian kids on the ice, regardless of income.
Any white kid can play basketball, and they outnumber blacks 9 or 10 to 1. Yet how many whites make it to the NBA, or even their varsity team? The Black kids, as a group, are better.
You may be completely correct. Skiing may only be a function of money and opportunity.
A couple of years ago I saw a club of black skiers at Vail. It felt right to see the slopes shared.
As the income gap between races is gradually ameliorated, it'll be interesting to observe the effect upon skiing diversity.

Reviews of Broadway Golden Hours
AldaB0b0 July 11, 2011
I visited this facility
Broadway Golden Hours is family owned and operated, as evident by the care taken to ensure every resident feels as though this is also their home. Whether they are here long or short-term, every person is treated as family. Golden Hours is unique because a large portion of the staff have been a part of Golden Hours for years. The care residents recieve at Golden Hours is focused on each person as an individual and based on their needs not only physically, but emotionally. I am proud to be a part of the Golden Hours family, and look forward to many years of caring for our us and our community. I thank each and everyone for their tender, loving, care, and may God bless them.

Madden Nfl Mobile – Android app apk download
Madden Nfl Mobile – More android app apk download
Madden Nfl Mobile – Android app apk videos
APK, or Android Application Package, is the file format used to distribute and install application software and middleware onto the Google Android operating system and certain other operating systems, such as Blackberry 9900 Devices with the OS version 7.1.0 or higher.. An APK file contains all the necessary files for a single Android program. APK files are saved in a compressed ZIP format and can be opened with any decompression tool. APK files are essentially a type of archive file, where the format of the packages are based on the JAR file format, with .apk as the filename extension. To make an APK file the software for Android is initially compiled, and then all of its parts are packaged into one file. An APK file contains all of that program's code (such as .dex files), resources, assets, certificates, and manifest file.
The apps come as APK files so that they could be installed on an Android device. Now the thing is, unlike the .exe and .dmg files, these files cannot be installed directly, and we will have to make some arrangements on our Android device first. So let's see how can you install these APK files manually when you get one someday.
First of all, we will have to enable the option to install the applications from unknown source on our Android. Open your Android system settings and click on Applications (Programs for some of the HTC devices) and check the option Unknown source. Those of you who are on Android ICS 4.0 you will find these settings under the security settings. On most of the devices, you can now simply click on the file using any of the file managers to install them, using the built-in package manager. If your device does not have a package installer by default, you can download and install an APK installer application from Google Play.
You must find an APK file that you want. Search online for an APK file and download it to an easy-to-find location on your computer (like your desktop). Before you can install it on your phone you will need to make sure that third-party apps are allowed on your device. Go to Menu > Settings > Security > and check "Unknown Sources" to allow your phone to install apps from sources other than the Google Play Store. If you like, you can also download an app like ES File Explorer so you can easily find files on your Android device.
Once you have downloaded the file on your computer, connect your device to it. At this point, you may be asked if you simply want to charge your phone or connect it as a "media device." Choose "media device". Then, simply find your phone's folder on your computer (it will be in "My Computer" or "Computer" on Windows machines) and copy the APK file into a folder of your choice in your Android smartphone.

The Walking Dead centers around Rick Grimes, a former police officer who was shot in the line of duty and wakes up from a coma after the world has succumbed to the zombie plague. Dazed from months in the hospital, and confused as to why he can't find anyone alive, he makes his way home only to find his wife and son missing. He packs up supplies from his station and travels to Atlanta in search of his family after hearing the cities would be safe (heard from Morgan and Duane Jones, his previous neighbors). Arriving in the city on horseback, Rick is overcome by a horde of zombies and narrowly escapes death with the aid of another survivor named Glenn, who has been scavenging the city for supplies. Glenn takes Rick back to his camp just outside of town where Rick's wife Lori and son Carl happen to be living, alive and well. His partner and best friend Shane had taken Lori and Carl to the outskirts of Atlanta to wait for rescue by the US Government. There they found a small group of survivors.

SKLZ Gyro Swing The SKLZ Gyro Swing is the only training aid that gives a player the "feel" of a correct swing… on plane and with a full release (eliminating the dreaded slice that 85% of all golfers endure). A gyroscope in the clubhead spins at 20,000 RPM, and the force of this super-fast rotation makes the club literally "come alive" in your hands, keeping it square to an arc around your center, keeping your swing perfectly on plane. And if you start to go off plane—inside, outside, whatever—it actually fights that movement. You can feel the resistance and twisting in your hands if you come over the top or cast the club (swing flaws common to slicers). And, you'll also feel it force your hands to turn over, exaggerating an early release if you haven't shifted your weight in your downswing, or with a smooth, late release if you have. Whether you're an average amateur who's never known the feeling of a proper release, or a low handicapper who just needs to refine his game, there's finally a swing aid that helps you bridge the gap between mechanics and feel. 877-225-7275 • www.sklz.com

Description by OLDIES.com:
A wealthy old woman hires a con man (Bruce Dern) and a phony psychic (Barbara Harris) to find her long-lost nephew. The results are diabolically funny as this suspense-comedy combines mystery and mayhem in nonstop excitement from beginning to end. Co-starring Karen Black and William Devane.
Product Description:
FAMILY PLOT was Alfred Hitchcock's 54th and final film; he died on April 29, 1980. The film was Hitchcock's second biggest box office success. Once again the master has made a film that involves one of his favorite themes--doubling--with one character providing a dark counterpoint to the hero, acting out all his or her repressed, negative desires, as in SHADOW OF A DOUBT and STRANGERS ON A TRAIN. In this film, the two couples, one criminal but amiable and the other criminal but violent, provide a stark contrast with one another. The parallel couples also provide emotional counterbalance to one another as Hitchcock weaves alternating threads of humor and cruelty to create this layered story. When a rich, guilt-ridden dowager visits a psychic (Barbara Harris) for help in finding her family's long-abandoned heir, she sets off more than a search for a missing person. Unbeknownst to the lady, the psychic is a phony, and the lure of dollars sends her, along with her cabdriver husband (Bruce Dern), in hot pursuit of the lost beneficiary. Their bumbling search, however, threatens to interfere with established criminal interests, and, unknowingly, the couple's doggedness leads them into harm's way. The film was based on THE RAINBIRD PATTERN, a novel by Victor Canning.
Production Notes:
- Hitchcock cameo: Hitchcock's sillhouette can be seen through the door of the office for the Registrar of Births and Deaths.

The Create a Comic Project (CCP) is a youth literacy program and webcomic created by John Baird. The program uses comics, many taken from the Internet, to encourage children to write their own narratives.[1][2] The program began in November 2006 at the main branch of the New Haven Free Public Library as an after-school program.[3] The project has since worked with several other groups, including the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh, Braddock Carnegie Library, and the Pittsburgh YMCA.[4][5][6] Baird has presented the results of his work on the project at several conventions and conferences, including South by Southwest Interactive[7] and SXSWedu.[8] The project has been praised for its work in engaging children in learning by Marjorie Scardino, CEO of Pearson,[9] Professor Mirta Ojito of Columbia University,[10] and Arne Duncan, the US Secretary of Education.[11]
The webcomic side of the project posts comics made by the children. The website was launched January 4, 2007.[12] Archives of the Taiwan comics, labeled "Create a Comic Project ROC" or "CCP Version 1.0," go from July 9, 2005[13] through November 28, 2006.[14] Comics generated in America, labeled "CCP Version 2.0," were first posted November 29, 2006[15] to present.
Project background[edit]
The Create a Comic Project was first conceived in the Republic of China while Baird was teaching English at Hess Educational Organization. He used it as an ESL activity in class.[3] A version of the project was eventually published as part Hess's official curriculum materials in their Student Activities Booklet, which is currently used in both the ROC and Singapore.[1] One of Baird's inspirations was the Penny Arcade Remix Project.[5][6]
After going to New Haven for graduate school at Yale University, Baird remade the project as a stand-alone activity for the New Haven Public Library.[1][3] Library staffers called the program "wonderful" and that it had "encouraged children to willingly express their creativity."[1] In Pittsburgh, Baird hosted a number of workshops in the city before entering into a year-long collaboration with the Greater Pittsburgh YMCA's summer camp and after-school programs. While attending Teachers College, Columbia University, Baird brought the project into several area schools in the city, including LaGuardia High School and The School at Columbia University.[16] From 2010 to 2012, the project was based in Houston, Texas, where Baird has given workshops to employees at the University of Texas Charter School and was invited to give workshops at the Conference for the Advancement of Math Teaching in 2011.[16] The project is currently on hiatus.
The program hosted regular comic tournaments at the New Haven Library from 2007 to 2011. They were funded by grant awards from the Community Foundation for Greater New Haven.[17] The CCP is the single largest multi-webcomic collaborative project of its kind.[17] It was the only comic-based children's program of its type in New Haven and Pittsburgh.[17]
In 2009, Baird and other webcomic creators held a panel and two project-based workshops at Otakon.[5][6] The project has also hosted panels and workshops at Tekkoshocon in 2009 and 2010. John was named a Featured Panelist for Otakon 2012 for his series of workshops. A Wheaton University student has created art for the project's official materials.[18]

Angela Brown, Minnesota Mom, Faces Jail For Giving Son Medical Marijuana From Boulder
Angela Brown in an image from WCCO-TV. More pics and a video below. |
Earlier this week, our William Breathes reported that the number of children registered as medical marijuana patients in Colorado continues to grow: The digits rose from 305 to 337 in a month, with reports suggesting that many of the additions are moving here from other states.
The story of Minnesota's Angela Brown could well inspire even more people with sick kids to relocate. She's now been charged with a crime and could face jail time for providing her head-injured son with medical marijuana legally purchased during a visit to Boulder.

The story comes to us from WCCO-TV in Minnesota. Angela and David Brown tell the station that their son Trey, fifteen, suffered a traumatic brain injury while playing baseball three years ago.

Afterward, Trey regularly suffered from headaches, seizures and more. His condition was severe enough, the Browns say, that he couldn't attend school and began engaging in dangerous behavior. Specifically, he began to hit and cut himself.
With traditional medical care appearing to have little effect, the family traveled to Colorado this past winter and purchased some cannabis oil -- the treatment touted in the 2013 CNN reports about seizure-stricken Charlotte Figi that fueled a rush to Colorado by parents of children afflicted with similar conditions.
A family photo from the Colorado visit as shared on Angela Brown's Facebook page. |
Within an hour after Trey took the medication, Angela says his symptoms abated. The improvement was so pronounced that the Browns brought some of the oil back home with them and continued to provide it to Trey in Minnesota.
When Trey's school inquired about what was helping him, Angela told teachers about the cannabis-oil treatments. A week later, she got a call from her mom revealing that "the cops are looking for you."
Angela has now been formally charged with child endangerment and causing a child to need protection -- offenses that appear to bring with them the possibility of jail time. The 2013 Minnesota statute for neglect or endangerment of a child reads in part: "If the endangerment results in substantial harm to the child's physical, mental, or emotional health, the person may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than five years or to payment of a fine of not more than $10,000, or both."
Another photo of Trey from his Facebook page. |
At this point, representatives of the district attorney's office in Lac Qui Parle County, where the Browns live, aren't talking about the case. But Angela is speaking out, telling the station, "The prosecutor's version of this is that a good mom allows her child to be in pain, to self-harm, and attempt to take his life. I guess that's a good mom in his eyes."
Once their legal battle is over, what do the Browns plan to do next? Move to Colorado.

Quoting washingtonian115:855 see 857 looks like they might think Saturday or Sunday! That might be this week. |
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 3:40 PM GMT on August 30, 2011
Record flooding continues in the Northeast from Irene's torrential rains. Hardest hit was Vermont, where heavy rains in the weeks prior to Irene's arrival had left soils in the top 20% for moisture, historically. Irene dumped 5 - 8 inches of rain over large sections of Vermont, with a peak of 11.23" at Mendo. The reading from Mendo was the greatest single-day rainfall in Vermont's history, according to wunderground's weather historian Christopher C. Burt, beating the 9.92" that fell at Mt. Mansfield on 9/17/1999 during the passage of Tropical Storm Floyd. The 13.30" that fell on East Durham, NY during Irene was just shy of New York State's all-time 1-day rainfall record: 13.70" at Brewster on 9/16/1999, from Tropical Storm Floyd.
Figure 1. Wunderphotographer 43BJAGER recorded this image of a house in Sharon, Vermont, that started out the week on the other side of this underpass.
According to the final Hurricane Irene summary from the NWS, the storm dropped 20" of rain in two locations, one in North Carolina and one in Virginia. Here are the highest rain amounts from the hurricane for each state:
Virginia Beach, VA: 20.40"
Jacksonville, NC: 20.00"
East Durham, NY: 13.30"
Freehold Twp, NJ: 11.27"
Mendon, VT: 11.23"
Ellendale, DE: 10.43"
New Hartford, CT 10.15"
Baxter St. Park, ME: 9.91"
Savoy, MA: 9.10"
Lafayette, PA: 8.82"
Pinkham North, NH: 7.33"
Warren, RI: 5.37"
Tropical Storm Katia forms
Tropical Storm Katia formed this morning in the far Eastern Atlantic off the coast of Africa. Katia will be in a moist, low wind shear environment with ocean temperature 1 - 2°C above the threshold needed to support a hurricane, and should be able to intensify to major hurricane strength when it passes to the north of the Lesser Antilles Islands 5 - 6 days from now. It is possible that some of the outer spiral bands of the storm might bring heavy rain squalls to the northern Lesser Antilles, but it would be a surprise if the core of the storm passed through the islands. The long term fate of Katia is unknown. Dr. Bob Hart's Historical Tropical Cyclone Probability web page suggests shows that tropical storms in Katia's current position have a 19% chance of hitting North Carolina, a 16% chance of hitting Canada, an 11% chance of hitting Florida, and a 47% chance of never hitting land.
Figure 2. The morning run of the GFS Ensemble prediction. The ensemble prediction was done by taking a lower-resolution version of the GFS model and changing the initial distributions of temperature, pressure, and humidity randomly by a few percent to generate an ensemble of 20 different computer projections of where Katia might go. The operational (highest-resolution) version of the GFS model (white line) is usually more accurate, but the ensemble runs give one an idea of the uncertainty in the forecast.
Katia is the 11th named storm this year, and comes a full twelve days before the half-way point of the Atlantic hurricane season. Climatologically, September 10 marks the half-way point. A typical hurricane season has just 10 - 11 named storms, so we've already had a whole season's worth of storms before reaching the half-way point. At this rate, 2011 will see 25 named storms, making it the 2nd busiest season on record, behind 2005. Katia's formation date of August 30 puts 2011 in 5th place for earliest date of arrival of the season's 11th storm. Only 2005, 1995, 1936, and 1933 had an earlier 11th storm.
Gulf of Mexico development possible late this week
Several of our best computer models for predicting formation of tropical cyclones, the GFS and ECMWF, are predicting that an upper level pressure interacting with a tropical wave now over the the Western Caribbean could combine to spawn a tropical depression in the Gulf of Mexico late this week or early next week. The formation location is likely to be off the coast of Louisiana or Texas, but the track of the system is hard to predict at this point.
Figure 3. Portlight volunteer Thomas Hudson clears a driveway yesterday in Hollywood, Maryland.
Portlight disaster relief effort in Maryland
Hurricane Irene heavily damaged the town of Hollywood, Maryland, when a tornado cut off electric power, water, and phone service. Portlight and Team Rubicon volunteers arrived before emergency personnel, after following up on a local tip. What they found was an isolated area whose plight was unknown to the larger community. Most residents were trapped at their homes by heavy debris. Portlight and Team Rubicon worked for two days to clear paths to each address, extract vehicles from debris, and cut down trees that constituted safety hazards. Portlight also instructed local residents how to operate and maintain chainsaws and safely clear debris. No other volunteer organizations or emergency personnel arrived at any time, and Portlight succeeded in meeting the specific needs of the underserved, unserved, and forgotten. Visit the Portlight blog to learn more; donations are always welcome.
I'll have a new post on Wednesday discussing if the evacuations and media hype surrounding Irene were excessive.

Quoting washingtonian115:855 see 857 looks like they might think Saturday or Sunday! That might be this week. |
The New York Times published an article yesterday detailing how Hurricane Irene did, in fact, live up to the "media hype" some have been criticizing (thanks Daniel Dix for first bringing it to my attention!). The author did a ranking of storms based on the proportion of media reports for that storm during its lifetime. The top 3 storms by proportion of articles dedicated to them (definition of hype?) were Ivan, Andrew, and Floyd. Irene tentatively comes in at #10. Katrina at #14. http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/08/ 29/how-irene-lived-up-to-the-hype "This got me thinking about the reporting of hurricanes relative to the amount of damage they ultimately cause. Of course we can't really know exactly how much damage a storm will cause before it hits land, but it's interesting to see which storms deserved more coverage and which maybe should have had less. If you divide the normalized damage for the top 20 costliest U.S. storms by the "News Coverage" stat developed by the author, you get this list: 1. Georges (98) 69.1 2. Floyd (99) 43.6 3. Isabel (02) 40.0 4. Gustav (08) 34.3 5. Rita (05) 27.0 6. Frances (04) 26.8 7. Ivan (04) 24.7 8. Fran (96) 21.9 9. Jeanne (04) 16.3 10. Irene (11) 16.1 11. Hugo (89) 15.4 12. Juan (98) 15.1 13. Opal (95) 13.4 14. Allison (01) 8.3 15. Alicia (83) 8.2 16. Wilma (05) 7.5 17. Charley (04) 5.7 18. Andrew (92) 5.5 19. Ike (08) 5.1 20. Katrina (05) 1.7 Based on this list, the most "over-hyped" of the costliest storms would be Hurricanes Georges, Floyd, and Isabel. It could be argued that the 3 costliest storms (Katrina, Andrew, and Ike) did not receive nearly as much coverage as they should have given the damage they were about to cause at the time. Irene fit snugly in the middle at #10 of 20. If you do the same technique for deaths, the most "over-hyped" of the deadliest storms would be Gustav, Ivan, and Andrew; the storms to not receive enough coverage were Katrina, Allen, Tropical Storm Charley (98), and Tropical Storm Allison." by Robbie Berg National Hurricane Center |
Quoting tropicfreak: yup SEP we could get too W |
Quoting nofailsafe:Ah yes.I remember coming out the house that morning and then coming back home to a hurricane hitting Texas. |
The female name are always the meanest on a hurricane list. |
Quoting washingtonian115: Don't forget Humberto. |
Quoting Tazmanian: And we are only in August taz. |
Quoting TropicalAnalystwx13: Yes, possibly beginning even earlier than that, but we'll have to see. Things look bubbly down there already. |
Quoting TropicalAnalystwx13: That's what the WFO in Corpus, Houston, and Tallahassee have all been saying today. I would strongly take their word on it at this point. |
Quoting PlazaRed: Not always the storms with female names are the worst for example Hugo was an absolute disaster for PR i didnt have power for two months and spent the rest of elementry school in trailers also Georges was bad too!! |
Quoting Levi32:With those sst and favorable conditions forcasted I wouldn't be surprised if we have a hurricane in the gulf next week(Hey it's my damn opinion if anybody has a problem!!!).It's happened before....Alicia. |
Quoting PlazaRed: Hmmm. ANDREW, DAVID, FLOYD, and IKE all come to mind as male name PITA storms... I am sure there are many others. |
Quoting angiest:Sorry, I believe you are right. |
Why is there a Cane threat for Tampa? I don't see anything.Quoting nofailsafe: |
Quoting BrockBerlin: It is my passion. I am a huge weather geek and love to analyze models and what not. I mean, meteorology is like the only field I can easily remember stuff and learn quickly at. Everything else takes me forever, so pretty much slow to learn if it is not weather lol. |
Quoting Levi32: We should be watching the weekend closely for development? |
Quoting Dragod66: I know that guy, but don't like him. He thinks the NWS and NHC sucks, and we shouldn't have one. |
its going too be fun too track are K storm |
Quoting tropicfreak: Could you explain why that would be? Would greatly appreciate it just to help me understand more. |
If any eyewall is taking place wemight see RI somewhere down the road towards early thursday maybe, depending on how fast an eyewall would come into existence |
Quoting Grothar:The storms just won't stop!!! |
The 12z ECMWF ensembles are offering fantastic support for Lee to develop in the Gulf of Mexico. The member variance (purple/pink colors) is very strong over the NW gulf in 5 days, with the ensemble mean showing a low pressure area of sub-1005mb. |

NWS Tallahassee LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY). A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL EXTEND FROM NEW ENGLAND DOWN THE ERN SEABOARD INTO GA AT THE START OF THE PERIOD. THIS HIGH WILL MOVE LITTLE ON FRI...BUT THEN BEGIN TO SETTLE SWD TO A POSITION OFF THE CAROLINA COAST OVER THE WEEKEND. MUCH OF THE FORECAST FROM THE WEEKEND ONWARD WILL DEPEND ON THE TROPICS. MOST OF THE MODELS ARE DEVELOPING A TC SOMEWHERE IN THE VICINITY OF THE YUCATAN OR SRN GULF IN THE WED NIGHT THROUGH THU TIME FRAME. THE NAM APPEARS TO DEVELOP THE SYSTEM TOO QUICKLY. THE GFS AND EURO BOTH SHOW A MORE GRADUAL SPIN UP WITH A CYCLONE CENTERED ABOUT 280 MI E OR ESE OF BROWNSVILLE TX ON FRI. AFTER THAT TIME...THE GFS TAKES THE SYSTEM ON A MORE NLY TRACK TOWARD LA AND THEN TAKES A SHARP LEFT TURN BACK TOWARD THE TX COAST EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE 29/12Z EURO ALSO SHOWED SOME TYPE OF LOOP OVER THE NWRN GULF...BUT THE LATEST 00Z RUN ALLOWS IT TO SIT AND SPIN PRETTY MUCH IN PLACE. THESE DISCREPANCIES WILL LARGELY IMPACT HOW BREEZY IT GETS OVER THE ERN GULF. HOWEVER...ANY SCENARIO WITH A TC IN THE WRN GULF WILL LIKELY ALLOW AN INCREASE IN MOISTURE AND ASSOCIATED POP...ESPECIALLY WITH A FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE NW. THIS UPWARD TREND IN POPS BEGINS SUN WITH LIKELY POPS FOR MUCH OF THE AREA SUN AND MON.

on another note, the role of ruffa mae as his wife who goes to italy and decides to marry an italian fellow was a bit convoluted. and she even gets to bring her kids with her to italy. why in heaven's name are we even showing that? the values are screwed up and it leaves a pretty nice (im)moral lesson: thank you white man for saving another filipina from the clutches of poverty. never mind that the man looked like a reject of a trailer park trash in the deep south of the americas.

THE Gujarat BJP government on Friday has stated 10% reservation quota in higher education and government jobs for economic backward class among uppercasts who are ruled out under the existing reservation system. The new category would cover all upper castes, including Patidars, whose yearly family income does not exceed Rs 6 lakh.
This special decree will come into existence from May 1. "The ordinance will be promulgated immediately in order to introduce the new system in the next admission season starting soon," state BJP president Vijay Rupani said.
The upstated announcement in Gujarat was taken at BJP's core committee meeting at the state headquarters. BJP president Amit Shah chaired the meeting, which was attended by chief minister Anandiben and other state officials. The administration has followed the moves taken by Haryana and Rajasthan governments recently declared special quotas for Jats and Gujjars respectively.
"Gujarat government has decided to pact 10% reservation for economically backward class in general category," Chief Minister Anandiben Patel tweeted making the announcement, adding, "Existing 49% reservation for SC, ST and OBC will remain untouched. Gujarat government is committed to ensuring equal opportunities for all."
The Patidar community has been demanding quota under Economically Backward Class based on the economic benchmark as Patidar are originally land owning community and not included in OBC's.
Meanwhile, the Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS), which heads the ignition, rejected the announcement calling it "yet another lollipop from the BJP factory".
The move by the government may face a legal hurdle also but the state government and the ruling party don't want to be seen as the main stumbling block for the Patidars, as it faced wipe out in the panchayats polls when Congress won 23 of 31 district panchayats held last year.
"We are very serious about this and we will fight it up to the apex court for reservation of economically backward among the general category," Rupani said.

Iron burning in pressurised oxygen under microgravity conditions

An investigation of cylindrical iron rods burning in pressurised oxygen under microgravity conditions is presented. It has been shown that, under similar experimental conditions, the melting rate of a burning, cylindrical iron rod is higher in microgravity than in normal gravity by a factor of 1.8 ± 0.3. This paper presents microanalysis of quenched samples obtained in a microgravity environment in a 2.0 s duration drop tower facility in Brisbane, Australia. These images indicate that the solid/liquid interface is highly convex in reduced gravity, compared to the planar geometry typically observed in normal gravity, which increases the contact area between liquid and solid phases by a factor of 1.7 ± 0.1. Thus, there is good agreement between the proportional increase in solid/liquid interface surface area and melting rate in microgravity. This indicates that the cause of the increased melting rates for cylindrical iron rods burning in microgravity is altered interfacial geometry at the solid/liquid interface.
