Short-Term Convective Storm Forecasting
- About
- Technology
- References
- Contacts
Precipitation from convective storms has a significant impact on the global, regional and local hydrological cycle. Our understanding of how convective storms form, grow, and dissipate remains a scientific challenge that HAP scientists are attacking by means of field programs and high resolution modeling through the STEP and Water System programs. Short term forecasting (0-8 hours) of thunderstorms is a particular focus for the applied research on convective storms. The AutoNowcaster system is a RAL developed decision support system focused on 0-2 hour nowcasts of thunderstorms, including growth, dissipation, and especially initiation. The system is currently being transitioned to the National Weather Service for operational use at Weather Forecast Offices. The system was used operationally by the Chinese Weather Bureau during the 2008 summer Olympics.
Program Goals
The research and development of the Convective Weather Program are geared towards very short-term forecasting of high-impact weather. The objective is to enhance existing and facilitate new capabilities of monitoring (i.e., analysis), nowcasting (< 2 h), and forecasting (> 2 h) weather-related conditions that pose a hazard or threat to human safety, transportation on land, water, and in the air, and to infrastructure.
The program strives to advance a basic understanding of dynamic, thermodynamic, and microphysical processes related to severe weather, including the initiation of storms and their subsequent evolution, by focusing on observations, data assimilation, numerical modeling, forecasting, and diagnostic evaluation. Integration of short-term weather prediction with user applications is a high priority.
High-resolution, short-term forecasts of thunderstorms provide critical information for a wide range of users, including the aviation community, ground transportation, urban emergency and water resources management groups, recreation facilities, construction industries, and the military, that assists them to safely and efficiently deploy resources. However, achieving reliable and accurate convective weather forecasts remains a scientific challenge due to uncertainty in grasping initial conditions, shortcomings in model physics and computational capabilities, and limitations of our understanding of how nature works. The forecast skill of observation-driven expert systems decreases rapidly with increasing lead-time, while numerical weather prediction models exhibit a limited forecast ability within the first few hours after initialization primarily due to spin-up problems. Furthermore, forecast methodology and display systems have to be tuned to the needs of different users—for example, a line of severe convective storms predicted in the wrong place may be perceived as a bad forecast from a water resources manager (e.g., dam operator), yet the same forecast might be quite good for an en-route air traffic control manager.
Project Sponsors:
The research and development activities of the Convective Weather Program are supported by both national and international sponsors, including:
Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) | Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) | National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) | National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration (NOAA) | National Science Foundation (NSF) | United States Navy
Conceptual Approach
Short-term storm prediction builds upon several components, as outlined in the figure below, including both observations and numerical modeling. The analysis of a wide range of observations is key to monitoring storms. Weather radar plays a chief role in the identification and tracking of storm cells. At very short lead times a storm forecast is obtained primarily by advection of existing radar echoes based on their recent movement (i.e., extrapolation). The skill of extrapolation forecasts, however, decreases rapidly with increasing lead times, thus making it important to account for storm evolution (i.e., growth and/or decay). Moreover, new storms may initiate, which requires recognition and monitoring of characteristic features in the boundary layer (e.g., frontal boundaries created by a storm outflow or advancing sea breeze) and the thermodynamic conditions of the storm environment. Model-based information provides crucial information for identification of regions ripe for new storms to initiate. The ultimate storm forecast is generated based on blending extrapolation, evolution, initiation and modeling information, where the weight shifts from extrapolation at very short lead times to mostly model for longer outlooks.
Expert Systems
AutoNowCaster (ANC)
The ANC provides regional analyses and 0 – 2 h nowcasts of thunderstorms,
their initiation, growth and decay. The ANC distinguishes itself from
other nowcasting systems that primarily focus on storm extrapolation and trending
(e.g., TITAN), in that the ANC is able to forecast initiation of new storms. The
ANC is an expert system that mimics much of what is normally done by a human
(albeit without the time stress)—i.e., review and assimilate a wide range
of disparate observations and model results within the context of a forecaster's
knowledge of how the atmosphere works. The ANC uses a data fusion procedure
to assimilate data from radar, satellite, surface stations, soundings, and
numerical weather prediction (NWP) models for analysis and calculation of predictor
fields. These predictor fields provide information about the current
storms and environmental conditions, including: cumulus cloud detection and
vertical development based on satellite data; boundary-layer convergence and
stability based on radar, surface stations and NWP information; and storm characteristics
based on radar data. A fuzzy logic routine is used to combine the predictor
fields that are based on observations, a numerical boundary layer model and
its adjoint (i.e., VDRAS), feature detection algorithms, and optional forecaster
input, to create nowcasts that are issued at regular intervals (typically every
5 min) and that are based on a conceptual understanding of how storms initiate,
grow and dissipate. For further details see Mueller et al. (2003) and
Saxen et al. (2008).
>annual report | >more
Thunderstorm Identification, Tracking, Analysis, and Nowcasting (TITAN)
is a real-time algorithm for automated identification, tracking, and extrapolation
based short-term forecasting of thunderstorms utilizing volume-scan weather
radar data. For each time step, defined by the radar scanning strategy,
TITAN identifies a "storm" as a contiguous region exceeding tunable
thresholds for reflectivity (e.g., 35 or 40 dBZ) and size (either area or
volume). A combinatorial optimization scheme is employed to match the
storms at one time with those at the following time, with some geometric
logic to deal with mergers and splits. The short-term forecast of both
position and size is based on a weighted linear fit to the storm track history
data. Besides identification and tracking of storm cells, TITAN also
calculates a wide range of storm attributes, including echo area extent and
volume, echo top, height of the maximum reflectivity, and storm motion (speed
and direction), among many others more. A detailed description of TITAN
is provided by Dixon and Wiener (1993).
Data Assimilation and modeling
VDRAS uses a cloud-scale model with its adjoint to retrieve boundary-layer winds and thermodynamics from Doppler radar, surface stations, and sounding data by means of a four-dimensional variational (4DVar) analysis procedure. VDRAS is used as a data assimilation and analysis system, but can also be employed as a short-term forecasting tool for convective storms. VDRAS is an essential component of the ANC to provide analyses of the boundary-layer wind field characteristics, which has been highly successful in capturing regions of new storm initiation. The high-resolution (2 – 5 km in the horizontal, 100 – 400 m in vertical) VDRAS analyses are available every 5 – 10 min, depending on the temporal resolution of radar volume scans, and provide the ANC system with information needed to characterize boundary-layer stability and convergence that may lead to thunderstorm development. VDRAS is the first real-time to diagnose low-level wind and temperature over a wide region using four-dimensional data assimilation of Doppler radar data. A detailed description can be found in Sun and Crook (2001).
VLAS represents the Doppler lidar variant of VDRAS. VLAS provides very high-resolution wind information at the neighborhood scale and has been used to study atmospheric transport and diffusion in urban environments.
The RT-FDDA system was developed to provide high-resolution analyses and short-term (0 – 12 h) forecasts, although recent advances in computing power enable longer outlooks to be generated. RT-FDDA employs a time-continuous assimilation of a variety of synoptic and asynoptic observation data to provide real-time local-scale analyses and short-term forecasts in a cycling fashion. The RT-FDDA is built upon a high-resolution MM5 numerical weather prediction model (future versions will be based on the WRF model) and the data assimilation makes use of a Newtonian relaxation (i.e., nudging) scheme. The characteristics of the RT-FDDA system generally contribute to superior analysis and forecasts compared to a twice daily MM5 forecast system, especially for shorter forecast lead times. The RT-FDDA system is used in a variety of both winter and summer weather hazard applications.

Blending of expert system and model output
The NCWF product combines meteorological observations, feature detection
algorithms, and numerical weather prediction model output to provide a diagnosis
of the current locations of convective hazards to aircraft as well as a probabilistic
depiction of future locations of existing convective hazards for lead times
of 30, 60, 90, and 120 min. Both the convective hazard detection field
and the forecasts update every 5 minutes. The current operational version
of NCWF runs at the NWS Aviation Weather Center (AWC) and shows the convective
hazard detection field and a binary forecast of storm location with a 1 h
lead time (NCWF-1). This operational product was first available in
1998 as an experimental product and became operational in 2000; it is available
on the Aviation Digital Data Service (ADDS) Convection web page. Current
efforts are geared toward extending the forecast lead time to two hours (NCWF-2)
and a continuous 0 – 6 h probabilistic forecast (NCWF-6). These
preliminary products are available on the Experimental Aviation Digital Data
Service (ADDS) web site.

Named after the Native American Chief Niwot, this new short-term forecasting system is being developed based on a blending of observation extrapolation technology and numerical weather prediction model output fields. The promise is that the blending of numerical forecasts with expert system-based extrapolations will benefits from the skills of the latter at short time scales while weighing in more on the numerical prediction skills for extended outlooks, and by doing so yield improved short-term predictions. This tool, which is aimed at 0 – 6 h forecasts of aviation impacting convection, will be flexible enough to accommodate improved extrapolation algorithms and numerical model output as they become available, and allow for forecaster input. It is anticipated that the Niwot and NCWF efforts will eventually be combined into one next-generation short-term prediction system.

'The Sabres were down 4-3 with 22 seconds left in the third when head coach Lindy Ruff called a timeout. Marcus Foligno replaced Drew Stafford on the ensuing faceoff, and that move paid dividends immediately. Foligno drove hard behind the Montreal net before throwing it in front to Tyler Ennis. His initial shot was stopped, but Vanek was able to poke the rebound through Montreal netminder Peter Budaj while laying on his stomach with just 1.9 seconds left on the clock.'

Pass Targets and Completion %
I wanted to get an idea of where pass attempts are going, who they are going to, and what the completion % looks like, so I put together these charts..
The numbers are pulled from the Pass Targets chart for each games box score on http://pro-football-reference.com (I manually tallied the Pitt game that wasn't on there).
This one shows where pass attempts have actually gone to:
And this one shows Completions/Targets(Completion %) per receiver to those areas:
You can take from it what you want, I just thought it would be interesting to see.

Re: Pass Targets and Completion %
The entire team is less efficient, in some cases substantially so, throwing to the left. Could that be simply because it's Flacco's blind side? That explanation doesn't seem very strong.
The deep connection to Torrey Smith is really alarming. This chart doesn't differentiate by actual depth of target, and I definitely suspect Torrey's is way higher than anyone else's, but the completion percentage to Torrey is substantially lower than the average to all parts of the field. If Flacco and Torrey can't get on the same page I doubt this offense will get any better.
Hitting on deep passes is as much about timing and chemistry as it is accuracy, and they're just not getting better at any of those things. Flacco's downfield accuracy is still inconsistent, Torrey's route running and ball tracking are still poor. The ENTIRE OFFENSE is built around the threat of Torrey taking the top off the defense, so why aren't they making it work? I know it's hard, but it's like they're not even practicing.

LONG BEACH — Some of Mayor Bob Foster's most controversial stances revolved around the Port of Long Beach.
While the port is run by the city's Harbor Department, some say the port functions best when it's managed as if it were a private business and at arm's length from the city.
Foster's more hands-on approach - including nixing a deal for a new port headquarters - was criticized by some who felt the agency should be run more independently.
"I've been in Long Beach for 72 years and at no time have I ever known the city to get into the port's business, except now," former Harbor Commissioner and former City Councilwoman Doris Topsy-Elvord told the Press-Telegram in October. "And I have never known a mayor to try to direct where the money goes."
John McLaurin, president of Pacific Maritime Shipping Association representing terminal operators and others, has also been vocal about the mayor's approach.
"(Foster's leadership) was more activist that what we've seen with prior mayors," McLaurin said Tuesday. "There was more of a tendency by the city to stay out of its affairs. That changed under Bob's leadership."
The mayor exercised a rarely used veto in 2010 to stop the construction of what supposed to be the port's new headquarters. The new $220 million facility to be located at 925 Harbor Plaza was deemed a "Taj Mahal" by Foster, who pointed to larger oversight issues at the nation's second busiest seaport.
"I worry about the culture in the port," he said in a 2012 interview with the Press-Telegram. "I think they've had a lot of money and they've been very complacent. There has been no effective oversight of them. Harbor commissioners haven't provided it and the city hasn't provided it."
Foster's direct approach ruffled feathers, some observers said.
Long Beach Harbor Commissioner Rich Dines, who was appointed by the mayor onto the commission, said Foster showed a "political courage and unapologetic style of leadership."
"The thing that stands out about Bob is that he's not a politician," said Dines. "That's why I think to some people he comes across as a little rough or abrasive. That's who he is as an individual. He's very much a leader."
Dines said Tuesday that Foster has been supportive of the port, especially on environmental issues. He pointed to the mayor's hard stance on the Clean Trucks Program.
"Every resident in the city of Long Beach has benefitted from having cleaner diesel trucks on the road," he said. "Mayor Bob Foster has been a wonderful champion for the Port of Long Beach."

LONG BEACH — As dozens of officials gathered beneath the Gerald Desmond Bridge on Tuesday, Port of Long Beach Executive Director Christopher Lytle pointed to the two police helicopters thundering overhead.
They hovered 500 feet off the ground, high above the span, demonstrating to the audience how much taller the new cable-stayed span replacing the Gerald Desmond will be when it is completed in 2016.
"This will be an iconic structure," he said, asking people to imagine viewing Catalina Island from the future bridge's observation platform 200 feet high. "The new bridge will have clearance to handle the newest generation of bigger ships, helping us keep our competitive edge as a port."
Federal, state, city and port officials celebrated the groundbreaking Tuesday of a $1 billion project to replace the aging Gerald Desmond Bridge, considered the biggest bridge project in Southern California.
Built in 1968, the Gerald Desmond Bridge links Terminal Island and the Long Beach (710) Freeway for the nation's trade system, with nearly 15 percent of the nation's waterborne cargo traveling on it.
But the bridge has been slowly deteriorating as traffic volumes have risen over the years. Netting, which port officials call "diapers," had to be attached to the bridge to catch falling concrete.
When completed, the new bridge will feature additional traffic lanes, separate bicycle paths and pedestrian walkways.
At Tuesday's groundbreaking, several people spoke about the importance of building the bridge, which is being funded with state, county, port and federal funding.
"As you look at today's economy and the fact that we are recovering, we want to keep that economy moving," said Victor Mendez of the Federal Highway Administration. "This is a very major investment when it comes to getting our economy back in shape."
He also lauded the port's method of building the bridge with a "design-build" concept, which combines project design and construction into one contract.
"What you're doing from an innovation standpoint is very, very important when it comes to our nation," Mendez said. "We can no longer be able to take 10 years to build a project. We have to do it faster, and in today's economy and today's world, we have to find innovative and creative ways of doing that."
Rep. Janice Hahn, D-San Pedro, who was recently appointed to the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, said she will advocate for projects such as the bridge replacement project.
"It's projects like this that I will continue to champion and try to find the funding to move us forward," she said. "We need to be doing more of this."
Meanwhile, there has been talk of giving the new bridge a different name, with an effort afoot to name it after former Long Beach Mayor Beverly O'Neill.
The Desmond family has publicly expressed interest in keeping the name. Desmond was a Long Beach City Council member from 1954 to 1960 and then served as city attorney from 1960 to 1964 until his death from liver cancer at the age of 48.
If the new bridge is renamed, it will likely be up to the state, which is contributing the most funding to the project with $500 million, port officials said.
That does not preclude them from naming it after a notable local person. The state-owned courthouse being built in downtown Long Beach is named after former Gov. George Deukmejian.

Rocker Revolution
November 17, 2012
It's hard not to notice more people rocking out on the slopes these days. Over the past decade, rocker and reverse camber equipment has steadily taken over the ski and snowboard industry. The new technology, with its raised tip and tail, has its pros and cons, but without doubt has opened doors for riders of all levels and made the mountain more accessible for the weekend warrior. Rocker is beginner-friendly, park fun and powder-slashing ready. "If your average skier is skiing powder or chop and they don't have a bunch of days to burn, this early rise (rocker) is a real equalizer," Sports LTD manager Eric Bickert said. "They rip. Are all my skis rocker? No, but they have a place."Understanding rocker's place and recognizing individual riding needs are crucial to finding the right fit. There are an overwhelming number of choices out there. Before we get into the nitty gritty of it all, understand this: rocker or reverse camber means a raised tip and tail in one manner or another.Regular camber or reverse?There is no simple answer to the question that was on most riders' lips during the past decade. It all depends on individual style and day-to-day conditions. Since it all began with regular camber, let's start there. When a regular camber ski or snowboard lies flat, the center arches up and the outside contact points are pushed into the snow. Think of a low rainbow. With pushed down contact points, regular camber generally offers more stability and edge control. This is all good when a rider is looking for consistent landings and reliable stability at high speeds, but more edge also means a tougher learning curve for beginners who are face planting while picking up the basics. When a ski or board has reverse camber, flip that rainbow upside down. The tip and tail are now raised out of the snow. There are many variations on this of course, but let's not jump ahead. Obviously, raised tip and tail means less edge catch for beginners as they start linking turns. It also provides a loser, skateboard feel on the snow. Not hard to connect that this equals a good time in the park and more float in the powder. "When there's powder, it allows you to go enjoy yourself because you put less energy in and get more out of it," Bicket said. Riders who aren't into powder or park and already know the basics should probably stick to regular camber. Regular camber was made for those who love cutting hard and fast on fresh corduroy runs. "If it's a hard pack day, don't take your rockers out. If it's a chop or mashed potato, or just plain old knee-deep, that's when you take the rockers out," Bicket said. Strip it down and reverse camber is good for beginners, advanced powder hounds looking for cruise control and riders trying to up style points in the park.Rocking park performanceSince regular camber isn't as fluid or loose, new tricks are easier to learn on reverse camber, especially on rails and boxes (jibbing) where edges are the enemy. While reverse definitely has the edge on rails, or lack thereof, an argument can be made that regular camber has better pop. Riders can load up on those pushed-down contact points before launching. Reverse camber combats this with increased carbon stringers and usually a stiffer flex to complement the degree of reverse camber. So hypothetically, riders should be able to get sufficient pop out of either.Consistent landings, however, are absolutely brought to you by regular camber. While it's easier to grab an extra rotation on reverse, it's also easier to wash out on landings. Without that extra edge bite, sometimes skis and boards just keep spinning. It takes skills to truly master the reverse camber landing, but it can be done. Powder to the rockerConditions are key and rocker was built for the powder."People can still ski the middle of the ski and not have to go from carve position to back seat survival position in the trees," Bicket said. Rocker will certainly save the legs some work in the trees. In the powder, regular camber riders work harder. They must use more leg muscles to keep their weight in the backseat, but some will sacrifice that for the familiar stability.Bottom line, rocker has the advantage in powder and is making trees possible for a larger number of people. "Now rocker has opened it up for all skill levels and that is a downside because the mountain tracks faster," Bicket said. "But boo hoo, because on a powder day you go get your lines." VariationsOnce the reverse camber decision is reached, then it's time to pick the rocker. Each company has its own take on reverse camber, and the best way to find the right fit is to give them a try at a demo shop, but here are the basics.Most rocker technology is headed to camber underfoot with different degrees of raised tip and tails. This gives the more traditional feel of regular camber, but still allows for more float in the powder and less catch in the park. These are usually pricier but combine the best of both worlds.There is a park rocker, which is mostly flat under foot with kick-ups at the tip and tail. The flat underfoot encourages more solid landings without too much edge on the rail. There is a beginner rocker, which rises at the tip and tail and the outside edges. Think of a canoe. This is also similar to concave gear, which is popular in park because it means even less edges while jibbing. Again, landings get tricky and turning becomes beyond difficult without edges. This technology is straight beginner or rail junkie.There is still the straight reverse camber out there that just starts going up from the middle and doesn't stop, the original snow skateboard. Along those lines, there is extreme rocker gear for heavy powder days that gives rocking chairs a run for their money. Some gear has rocker in the front only and some is just completely flat.Where's it all going? Rocker is here to stay, but before making the leap, definitely hit up a demo shop to figure out if the new technology is for you. There are many rocker choices out there, so do some homework and then talk to someone in a shop who is knowledgeable."The bottom line is there is a time and place for everything and rocker is not magic, but it has its place," Bicket said. "You have to know how to ski, but if you can learn a slightly different technique, rocker is badass."For more stories like this, check out the Tahoe Magazine on stands Nov. 23.

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
Led Zepp tattoos, handlebar mustaches, and skullcap bandannas: That kind of biker symbology you can find just about anywhere. What really counts at a biker bar worth the title are two fundamentals: babes and brawls. Nothin' Fancy's girls are the real thing: tanned and leathery with wind-beaten, low-lidded stares that look straight through you to an asphalt horizon. On Saturday nights, one gal is stationed at the door to welcome you off your hog with a winsome smile and a rusty wink, and by the time you've gotten yourself a seat beneath one of the bra bouquets that dangle from the ceiling throughout the bar -- all C or D cups, rest assured -- a different hoary venus is by your side, pressing her twin helmets into your chest and making sure your tank is full. As for brawls, Nothin' Fancy has the finest: In 2004, it made the news when a patron attacked three customers with a baseball bat, only to be stopped cold when one of them, a permit-packing gun-toter named Kevin Kelly, shot him in the stomach at point-blank range. The attacker, John Nicol, later got off scott free when a Palm Beach County jury acquitted him of aggravated assault and battery, which means he can belly up to the Fancy bar any one of these nights. You can't get much more authentic than that.
Yeah, it's known to attract monstrous, man-eating sharks, but that's only in New England. In the movies. In real-life South Florida, nothing is more randy than a few brews on a blanket under the stars and a communal dip in the buff. The important things to remember here: 1. Watch your clothes. Those teenagers smoking a joint up the beach are gonna think it's hilarious when you're wet and shriveled and can't find your skivvies. (The fact is, they're right.) 2. Watch for police. Certain beaches -- and we're not gonna reveal which ones for, um, liability's sake -- attract the fuzz more than others. Public nudity is illegal in Florida, but more than that, cops just hate to see you having fun. 3. If there's a meter in the parking lot, feed it. There's no bigger turnoff than getting back to the car with a good buzz, a libido in full throttle, and a ticket under the wiper. And 4. A full moon is very bright. And we mean that in more ways than one.
Michael Kostick gets a little carried away when he talks about his favorite nightspot, Café 27, on U.S. 27, across from Everglades Holiday Park, out where Griffin Road meets the wilderness. It's bike night there on Fridays, when the motorcycling dudes crowd into a series of chickee huts and wet bars and the beer flows like water. If you're lucky, one of the motorcycle clubs will be holding a party there and Kostick, who goes by "Nasty" with his friends, will be in charge of the pudding wrestling, with wenches in bathing suits writhing in mounds of mushy stuff. Last time that happened, Nasty says, it was phenomenal. "My God, it was the best condiment wrestling I've seen in years," he says. Nasty, who in his day job is vice president for sales and marketing of a manufacturing company (they make air purification apparatuses for firefighters), is well-known in biking circles as a longstanding writer for the monthly Wheels on the Road. Maybe Café 27 isn't for everybody, Nasty says, but it actually draws a diverse crowd -- "from open-road truckers to Everglades hunters to hard-riding bikers." If you can't get into the scene, get into the great people-watching.
As soon as we rule the world, we'll raze all the condos and build a string of tiki bars right on the beach so that you can spend happy hour properly... barhopping along the sand. Until then, the best place to de-stress after work is right in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Despite its urban location, Tarpon Bend creates a laid-back, outdoorsy vibe by displaying fish sculptures and world records from the International Game Fish Association. Furthermore, it has sidewalk seating, giant windows, and a second-story loft that gives it a wide-open feel. We're not the only ones who love it; happy hour -- especially on Fridays -- gets slammed. The "hour" lasts from 4 to 7 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, 4 to 9 on Friday, and 6 to 9 on Sunday, and it includes two-for-one drinks on everything except shots and pitchers. Live bands play every night, and promotions like the Miss Hawaiian Tropic Contest attract a fun, young crowd. A waitress named Megan has three additional explanations for the bar and grill's allure: one, "You get the best service you ever had in your life." Two, "Every server has a great personality." And three, "We're all hot." Just in case happy hour leads into happy night, there are 20 other bars within hopping distance.
Crabby Jack's has made a name for itself with the FAU college crowd for good reason. While most students are late-night partyers, this seafood joint knows the importance of a good pregame technique. Not many folks spend the entire night at Crabby Jack's -- but that's what happy hour is all about. You get in, you get bent, you get out. What better way to tie one on than 69-cent Miller Lites? Don't like Miller? Choose any domestic draft for 99 cents. But seriously, you're here to get a job done -- why spend the extra 30 cents?
Eleven-thirty on a Thursday night may be sheep-counting time for most 9-to-5'ers, but at Delux's weekly indie night, Flaunt, the dance floor's just getting warmed up... and how. The club's plush interior seems to belie the unrestrained activities of the mostly 20-something regulars. You won't find the usual hipster posturing here. But there's no time for that anyway, not when there's free Ketel One vodka (for groups of ten) and well drinks are half-priced before midnight. By that time, though, only the true barflies are still sitting on stools; everyone else is on the dance floor. On any given night, you can hear anything from the Postal Service's "Such Great Heights" to Elvis Costello's "High Fidelity" to the Supremes' "You Can't Hurry Love" and even DJ Assault's "Ass 'n' Titties" (for a little bump-and-grind time). As the 2 a.m. closing time draws near, the sounds often veer into punk-rock territory (the Misfits' "Last Caress," Operation Ivy's "Knowledge"). And when it's time to leave, there's no fear of finding out that your new love interest is underage; Flaunt is strictly 21 and up. So drink, dance, and for Pete's sake, keep it debauched.

Silviculture is the theory and practice of managing a forest to maintain and enhance its productivity based upon the objectives of its owner and the ecological capabilities of the land.
Nearly nine out of 10 Hoosiers approve of harvesting trees if overseen by professional foresters, and 82% approve of harvesting trees to improve wildlife habitat, according to a report by a Purdue University researcher.
Dr. Shannon Amberg, a Purdue professor in human dimensions of natural resources, issued the report "Indiana Residents' Perceptions of Woodland Management" (see links below) based on a survey she conducted with assistance from D.J. Case & Associates, a natural resources consulting firm in Mishawaka, Indiana.
Amberg's report shows a Hoosier public interested in the outdoors and concerned about the long-term health of Indiana's woodlands but frequently disconnected from the forest resource and reliant on television, documentaries and news media for information on the subject.
The research was funded by a grant from the DNR Division of Forestry.

In an ancient catacomb...an amazing discovery....millions of mummies......Puppy Mummies!
I'm Lucie McNeill and this is National Geographic On Assignment-your link to thousands of Nat Geo Expeditions around the globe.
Today, we're going to Saqqara, Egypt where beneath the ancient temple of Anubis, god of the Dead, lie the mummified remains of millions of canines, some of whom lived for only days or even hours.
National Geographic's Paul Nicholson is looking for answers.
Working with Egyptian Antiquities authorities, Nicholson and his team suspect the animals may have been offered up to Anubis over many years-in thanks, or in the hope of divine intervention...and there are at least 7 million of them.
That's National Geographic On Assignment-your link to our Explorers.

hey guys...
I have a problem, This isn't quite BT related but in a way it is...
I have a dual boot system and a network of computers, most of the computers run XP with SP2 or SP3.
Only my system has BT4 installed.
The last few days have been hell, some moron hacked several of my sites by infecting one of the XP boxes on the network. I'm guessing the guy is just using metasploit/SET to do a reverse TCP connection.
He managed to connect to one of those machines and has taken the admin passwords from that machine for one of the site, and used that same machine to connect to the site so nothing would look irregular.
I'm looking to put an end to this menace. How can I find the payload, and how can I patch it?
This has been going for several days now. I've detected several trojans on that machine and I have managed to delete them. However on every scan I do after the successful deletion I keep finding that same trojan again.
The last time one of our websites have been attacked the attack came from Saudi Arabia and the hacker was spreading Islam messages.
Frankly I don't have anything against Islam but there are other ways to spread such messages, then this. This way they only provoke anger. Aside from the annoying music which was also implemented in the defacement of the site the whole thing was cleaned up quickly.
However, after patching the site and increasing the security measures on it our systems still remain the weakest link in the security chain.
I hope someone can help me with this nuisance. If this is posted in the wrong section please move it.
Thank you in advance.

Celebrating the dignity & value of public service. That's the goal of MEA-MFT's award-winning Work That Matters campaign.
Work That Matters puts a face -- literally -- on Montana public employees, introducing them to Montana's people.
Montana's public employees are the folks who:
•Keep our communities and neighborhoods safe.
•Keep our drinking water clean.
•Conduct research that creates new businesses and jobs.
•Safeguard our health.
•Protect our most vulnerable citizens—children, seniors, and others.
•Plow and maintain our roads.
•Teach our children, young people, and adults.
•And much more.
Public employees live and work in communities all across Montana, providing services that keep Montana functioning. Montanans deserve to know what is at stake as our leaders decide funding levels for public services.
Using postcards, radio spots, newspaper ads, and other means, Work That Matters introduces Montanans to public employees in a wide variety of different jobs around the state.
The economic link
Public services and programs have always played a fundamental role in building America's economy. Public services pave the way for new innovations, new businesses and industries. Public services allow the middle class to thrive. Public services also help people get through tough times and get back on their feet – moving them from welfare to self-sufficiency.
Public services and programs exist to provide for the common good, to protect our communities, to address public problems before they occur. They are smart investments that end up paying for themselves.
Please get involved Work That Matters! Here's how:
1. 2013 Legislature: Montana's 2013 legislature will be making key decisions about public employees, especially the state employee pay plan. MEA-MFT is fighting for a salary increase for all state employees. We can do it only with our members' help!
2. Send us information on the job you do and how it contributes to Montana's economy and the well being of Montana's people. We'll use it to talk to legislators and other Montanans about the important work state employees do. E-mail Sanna Porte at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Work That Matters worksite tours
MEA-MFT launched a new phase of Work That Matters in January 2010 with the help of a special guest: Randi Weingarten, president of the AFT, one of MEA-MFT's two national affiliates.
Randi's visit to Montana included tours of MEA-MFT members' work sites in Jefferson County, the state health lab, state water lab, state historical society, and MSU-Bozeman. (See photos above right.)
This was the first of several Work That Matters work site tours held in Bozeman, Helena, and Great Falls in 2010. President Eric Feaver and MEA-MFT staff joined local legislators, news media, reps from the governor's office, and other community leaders to visit with our members where they work and learn about what they do.
Patti Boggess is one of the members in MEA-MFT's Work That Matters campaign.

Football Wraps Up 2012 At Big Sky Leader Northern Arizona
Related Links
Quickly: Southern Utah University plays the final game of its 2012 season Saturday when the Thunderbirds take on No. 11 Northern Arizona in a Big Sky match-up. The Lumberjacks are 6-0 in Big Sky play and all alone atop the league standings.
Southern Utah (4-6/3-4 Big Sky) rolled up a season-high 520 yards of offense last week at North Dakota, but despite running out to a 15-0 first-half lead the Thunderbirds came up short, 33-29. SUU was coming off a huge 30-27 win over then-No. 1 ranked Eastern Washington, but couldn't keep the momentum going against UND. The loss was SUU's first in three BSC road games this year.
Northern Arizona (8-1/6-0 Big Sky) has won eight straight games and is undefeated in Big Sky play. After opening with a 63-6 setback at Arizona State the Lumberjacks have been rolling. A win at UNLV started the winning streak that has included wins at Montana (41-31), North Dakota (45-38) and a 50-10 win last week at Idaho State (50-10). The 'Jacks have played just three home games so far but are undefeated in the Skydome in 2012, with victories over Ft. Lewis (69-0), Portland State (24-10) and UC Davis (21-7).
The Game: Southern Utah (4-6/3-4) at Northern Arizona (8-1/6-0), Saturday at 2:05 p.m. (Mountain), J. Lawrence Walkup Skydome (15,000/FieldTurf).
The Series: NAU holds an 11-5 edge in the series, but all five of SUU's wins have come in Flagstaff, where the Lumberjacks have 7-5 edge. The Thunderbirds broke through with a 27-24 win in the Skydome last year to snap a five-game skid against the Lumberjacks. The two programs have squared off each of the past four seasons, and each game has come down to the wire. NAU took a 26-23 win in Cedar City in 2010, a 42-39 win in Flagstaff in 2009 and a 19-14 win in Eccles Coliseum in 2008. Prior to last year the last SUU win came in the season finale of the 2000 season, when SUU triumphed, 27-23, to cap a 7-4 campaign.
TV: Saturday's game will be televised live on FOX Sports Arizona.
Video Highlights: Video highlights of the Thunderbirds' home and road games will be available to accredited media outlets via SUU's FTP site. For information on obtaining those highlights contact SUU Director of Athletic Media Relations Neil Gardner.

The Coaches
A 2010 Eddie Robinson Award nominee, SUU's Ed Lamb (BYU, 1996) has a record of 25-29 in his fifth season as the Thunderbird head coach and his fifth season as a head coach overall. Last year Lamb guided the Thunderbirds to their second straight winning season and their first win over an FBS-level opponent (UNLV) since 1997. He led the team to a Great West Conference championship in 2010 when the Thunderbirds went undefeated in GWC play and finished the season with a 6-5 overall mark. Prior to taking over at SUU, Lamb spent three seasons at the University of San Diego where he coordinated the special teams and recruiting and was the Toreros' defensive backs coach. Prior to his time at USD Lamb spent two seasons as defensive coordinator at Idaho. He also served a season at BYU as a linebackers coach and four seasons at the University of Redlands, three as defensive coordinator and one as defensive line coach. Coach Lamb is 1-3 vs. Northern Arizona.
Jerome Souers (Oregon, 1983) will bring a career record of 84-83 into Saturday's game. Coach Souers is in his 15th season as a head coach, all at Northern Arizona. He is 4-2 against the Thunderbirds.
Affiliations: Southern Utah is beginning its first season in the Big Sky Conference following eight years as a member of the Great West Conference. Northern Arizona is also a member of the Big Sky.
Captains: This year's captains are seniors Brad Sorensen (QB) and Cody Larsen (DT).
Big Sky Players of the Week
Brad Sorensen and Colton Cook were named ROOT Sports' Big Sky Conference Players of the Week for their play against Eastern Washington.
Sorensen, a senior quarterback from Grand Terrace, Calif., completed 33-of-43 passes for 392 yards and a touchdown in the Thunderbirds' 30-27 upset of then-No. 1 Eastern Washington on Saturday. He was particularly effective in the second half when he completed 15-of-24 passes for 224. His 21-yard pass to Fatu Moala with 7:01 remaining tied the game at 27-27, then he engineered a 61-yard drive in the final three minutes to set up the game-winning field goal. Sorensen was Co-Offensive Player of the Week, along with Sacramento State QB Garrett Safron.
Cook, a junior kicker from Centerville, Utah, kicked that game-winning field goal, from 36 yards out with three seconds to play. After missing his first field goal attempt, a 42-yarder into a stiff crosswind, he nailed his next three, including 24- and 32-yarders. His two first half field goals allowed the Thunderbirds to be tied at halftime 13-13. He was also a perfect 3-for-3 on extra point attempts and four of his seven kickoffs went for touchbacks.
Brock Miller was named the ROOT Sports Big Sky Conference Special Teams Player of the Week following his performance at Montana and Josh Smith was named the ROOT Sports Big Sky Conference Special Teams Player of the Week following his performance at Portland State.
College Football Performance Awards: Brad Sorensen was honored by CFPA for his play at North Dakota, earning honorable mention. Sorensen completed 19-of-29 passes for 363 yards and two touchdowns in the game.
SUU In The Big Sky and FCS National Ranks:
SUU has nine players ranked among the FCS top-50 in 15 statistical categories this week, while the team figures among the top-50 programs in eight major categories and among the top-30 in three.
Defense: Linebacker Zac Browning ranks ninth nationally and is second in the Big Sky in total tackles with an average of 11.3 per game and he is fourth in fumbles forced with 0.44 per game, also second in the BSC. Defensive tackle Cody Larsen is third in the BSC and 33rd nationally in tackles for loss with 1.25 per game, with James Cowser sixth in the Sky and 53rd in the FCS with 1.15. Cornerback LeShaun Sims is 27th in the FCS in interceptions with 0.38 per game, the fourth-best average in the BSC. Larsen and Cowser are tied for fifth in the BSC with 0.55 sacks per game, 63rd-best in the FCS. Larsen is also fifth-best in the BSC in fumbles forced with 0.3 per game.
Offense: Quarterback Brad Sorensen ranks among the FCS top 50 in six categories: he is sixth in total passing yards with 2,914, 10th in completions per game with 25.0, ninth in passing yards per game with an average of 291.4 (2nd BSC), 26th in points responsible for with 13.6 ppg, 16th in total offense with 285.0 yards per game (2nd BSC) and 41st in passer efficiency at 136.7. Wide receiver Fatu Moala is 27th in receptions per game with 6.0 (4th BSC) and 41st in receiving yards per game with 74.3 while Mitch Jessop ranks 42nd in receiving yards per game, with 74.1 (7th BSC).
Special Teams: Colton Cook leads the BSC and is third in the nation in field goals per game with 1.7 field goals per game and he is 37th in the country and third in the BSC in scoring at 7.8 ppg (first in the BSC among kickers). Punter Brock Miller is 15th in the FCS with a 42.8 yards per punt average, sixth in the BSC. Josh Smith is 53rd in the nation but second in the BSC in kickoff return average, at 22.4 ypr.
Team: In the team categories, SUU is first in the BSC and sixth in the nation in turnover margin at plus 1.2, 12th in the FCS and fourth in the BSC in net punting with an average of 38.3 ypp and 12th/2nd in passing offense with 291.4 yards per game. SUU is also 5th/342nd in sacks with 2.2 per game, 6th/39th in kickoff returns at 21.3 ypr and 8th/39th in punt returns at 9.43 ypr.
In a couple of more obscure categories the Thunderbirds lead the country in red zone offense, converting 94 percent of the time (33-of-35), are tied for first nationally in both fumbles recovered with 15 and fewest fumbles lost, with three, third in turnovers gained with 25 and 30th in interceptions with 10.
Notes from the North Dakota Game: Brian Wilson carried 31 times for 156 yards (both personal-highs) at UND, the most yards by a Thunderbird since Johnny Sanchez ran for 181 vs. McNeese State in 2007 and the most carries since Deckar Alexander toted the ball 32 times at Texas State in 2008. ... Brad Sorensen finished with 353 total yards, giving him an SUU-record 8,975 career yards; he passed Matt Cannon, who ran and threw for 8,930 yards from 1997-2000. ... SUU saw a pair of streaks come to an end at North Dakota: 1-The Thunderbirds had won nine straight games in which they rushed for 100 or more yards; at UND they finished with a season-high 157 on the ground but lost. 2-The Thunderbirds saw a season-long streak of getting at least one turnover per game, and coming out on top of the opponent in the turnover battle, come to an end as well. ... The Thunderbirds piled up a season-high 520 yards of offense while limiting UND to 308 yards, its second-lowest total of the season. ... Greg Hardin's 98-yard kickoff return marked the first time SUU had given up a kickoff return for a touchdown since the 2010 season-finale at Eastern Washington.
Into the Record Books: In addition to his total yards record set at UND, Brad Sorensen moved atop the SUU career-passing list with his 327-yard game against Sacramento State. That game gave him 7,639 passing yards in his three seasons at SUU and moved him past Rick Robins, who threw for 7,441 yards from 1992-96. Sorensen became the first Thunderbird to pass for over 8,000 yards when he threw for 320 against Weber State, and his 755 yards in the two subsequent games give him a career total of 9,068. Earlier this season Sorensen set the record for career touchdown passes and completed passes. He currently has 59 TD tosses and has completed 754 passes, and he moved into first place on the SUU pass attempts list vs. Weber State, and now has 1,131.
Young Defense
First-year players have done well for the Thunderbirds all season, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. The young defenders have dominated the SUU stat sheet in four of the seven games and had significant impact on all six Big Sky contests so far.
A look at SUU's season statistics shows the top six tacklers are first-year starters, and four of those are freshmen, including linebacker Zak Browning, who leads the team with 9102 tackles as a true freshman. Miles Killebrew, a redshirt freshman linebacker, is third with 60 tackles, while true freshman LB Mike Needham is fourth with 57 stops. Redshirt freshman defensive end James Cowser is fifth with 52 tackles and is the team's co-leader in sacks with 5.5 and is second in tackles for loss with 11.5. Cornerback LeShaun Sims, another redshirt freshman, has missed two games but he leads the squad with three interceptions and is 10th on the team with 34 tackles.
The two first-year starters who aren't freshmen are senior linebacker Namari Flentroy and junior cornerback Tyree Mills, who are second and sixth on the team with 63 and 46 tackles, respectively.
Killebrew's 15 tackles at Portland State and Browning's 15 vs. Montana State are the most by a Thunderbird since the 2009 season when Akeem Anifowoshe had 15 in the penultimate game of the season, against Eastern Washington. They are also the most by a true freshman at SUU since 2002 when Steve Smith had 22 at Arkansas State.
At Montana Browning and Needham had 18 and 12 tackles, respectively, while senior Cody Larsen also had 12, including 1.5 TFLs.
Browning had his third career 15-tackle game to lead the team against Eastern Washington, while Needham was second with nine stops and Sims and Collet each had eight.
The tackle totals were low at North Dakota, where Mills led the way with nine, followed by Killebrew with seven, and six by J.T. Anderson, Larsen and Browning.
Quiet Excellence: Senior defensive tackle Cody Larsen is quietly having a very strong year. The senior defensive tackle ranks among the nation's leaders in both sacks and tackles for loss despite playing in the middle of the line. He leads the team with six QB hurries and in tackles for loss with 12.5, and co-leads the team in sacks with 5.5. He has also forced three fumbles and recovered two more. During his career Larsen has notched 17.5 sacks, which ranks fifth all-time on the SUU list and is 11th in the nation among active players.
Good Vibrations: As noted above, senior tailback Brian Wilson ran for a career-high 156 yards and a TD at UND. Although he didn't play against Weber State after suffering an injury at Montana, Wilson got back into action against Eastern Washington, however, leading the team on the ground with 93 yards on 20 carries. He has led the Thunderbirds in total rushing yards all season - leading the team in all but two games, at Montana and vs. Weber State - but he didn't notch a rushing touchdown until he finally got into the end zone against Sacramento State. It was his fourth TD of the season but the others came on receptions.Passing Game
After struggling to pass the ball at Utah State SUU has improved in that area in the subsequent games, including a season-high 392 yards through the air vs. Eastern Washington. Brad Sorensen completed 33 passes for the second straight game vs. EWU, including a TD pass to Fatu Moala, also for the second straight game. The team finished with a then-season-high 311 yards through the air at Portland State, with four touchdown passes, but the turnaround began at Cal, particularly in the second half. Senior QB Brad Sorensen completed 31-of-45 passes at Cal, tying the eighth-highest completion total in SUU history, for 292 yards and four touchdowns. The TD passes went to Fatu Moala - who had a career-high nine receptions for 85 yards - Henna Brown, Cameron Morgan and Wilson. Against New Mexico Highlands Sorensen was hot and cold in the first half, completing 17-of-27 passes for 163 yards and two touchdowns - both to Moala - but also throwing two interceptions - which were both returned for scores. The Thunderbirds opted to run the ball much of the second half, throwing just eight times with three completions for 49 yards, including one touchdown pass, again to Moala. Once again Moala led the team, with eight receptions for 74 yards and all three TDs. Mitch Jessop had three receptions for 50 yards against NMH. At PSU Sorensen completed 27-of-36 attempts at Portland State, with nine of them going to sophomore WR Mitch Jessop, who finished with two TDs (the first of his career) and a career-high 153 receiving yards. TD passes also went to Easton Pedersen and Wilson at PSU. Sorensen completed 25-of-47 passes for 250 yards and two touchdowns - to Wilson and Jessop - against Montana State, but he did throw two interceptions, including one on a Hail Mary to Jessop in the corner of the end zone as time expired in the game. SUU passed for a season-high 327 yards against Sacramento State, including the team's longest pass play of the season, an 82-yarder from Sorensen to Jessop. Griff McNabb had his first TD reception in the Sac State game as well. At Montana Sorensen took his lumps, with a career-high seven sacks, but he also completed 30 passes for 294 yards and a pair of touchdowns, to Fatu Moala and to Henna Brown, and he also notched his first rushing touchdown of the season. Sorensen threw for another 320 yards against Weber State, when he completed 33-of-47 attempts, including TD passes to Griff McNabb (his second of the season) and Fatu Moala (his team-leading sixth). Last week the team finished with 363 yards through the air, its second-highest total of the season.
Sorensen currently ranks among the top-10 active players at the FCS level in career pass attempts (6th, 1,213), completions (5th, 799), yards (5th, 9,220), touchdown passes (8th, 59), yards per game (4th, 288.1) and completion percentage (6th, .659).
Pick Me Firsts: SUU has 10 interceptions this season and seven of them were the interceptor's first career pick while the other three went to players who got their first earlier in the season. Junior SS Tommy Collet, Jr. notched the first interception of his SUU career at Utah State, redshirt freshman DE James Cowser picked off his first at Cal, redshirt freshman CB LeShaun Sims had his first against NM Highlands, junior linebacker Randall Nygren got his first at Portland State, junior cornerback Tyree Mills notched his first vs. Montana State, freshman cornerback J.T. Anderson got his against Sacramento State and freshman safety Michael Byrd got his at Montana. The other three interceptions this season went to Sims, who got the second of his career at PSU and his third vs. Eastern Washington, and Collet, who got his second against Sacramento State.
If It's Close, It's A Score: Southern Utah has been very effective in the Red Zone this season, scoring 33 of the 35 times the team has advanced the ball to the opponent's 20 yard line, or 94 percent of the time. The Thunderbirds have scored 21 touchdowns once reaching the Red Zone and have converted 12 scores via field goal. The only blemishes in the Red Zone came in the season-opener at Utah State when the Thunderbirds drove to the Aggie nine yard line but threw an interception on the final play of the game, and against Eastern Washington when another interception spoiled a drive into the zone. SUU converted 28 consecutive drives into the Red Zone into points between the two misfires.
Turnovers and Penalties: SUU had won the turnover and the penalty battle in all but one game this season until the North Dakota game. The exception was at Montana, where the Grizzlies were flagged just four times for 48 yards while the Thunderbirds were penalized nine times The Thunderbirds have turned the ball over 11 times so far (nine interceptions, two fumbles) this season, while opponents have given it back 25 times, with SUU the beneficiary of 15 fumbles and 10 interceptions. As far as penalties go, SUU has been whistled 56 times for 475 yards while opponents have drawn 83 flags for 728 yards. At UND the Thunderbirds gave it up twice without getting a turnover and they had eight penalties for 84 yards to seven for 41 for UND.
Left-footed kickers
For the second year in a row, Southern Utah's kickers are both left-footed. Both specialists have been solid. Brock Miller got off to a good start, punting nine times for 411 yards at Utah State - including a career-long 72-yarder on his first boot of the game - and pinning the Aggies inside the 20-yard line four times, and he has been solid ever since, kicking 53 times for 2,272 yards to rank 17th in the country with his 42.9 yards per punt average. He has pinned the opponent inside the 20 yard line 21 times, with five touchbacks and 11 boots of 50 yards or more. His 51.6 yards per punt average against Weber State is the third-best single-game average in SUU history and his current 42.8 ypp average is the fourth-best.
Placekicker Colton Cook moved atop the SUU single-season field goals list against Eastern Washington when his three makes gave him 16 on the season, one more than Ryan Griffith hit in 2009. His 35-yarder at UND gives him 17 on the season and 31 in his career, which ranks third all-time at SUU, two behind Steve Pulver (2003-08) and seven behind Herkey Marxen (1986-89). Cook hit a career-long 49 yard field goal against Montana State but missed two more long efforts, from 47 and yards, but he got back on track against Sacramento State when he drilled all three of his field goal attempts and he was 1-for-1 at Montana and 3-for-3 again vs. Weber State. Although he missed his first FG attempt in a stiff wind vs. EWU, he is now 17-20 on field goals and 27-30 on extra points this season. Cook's 53 career PATs rank fifth in the SUU record book.
Northern Arizona Notes:
Northern Arizona has won eight consecutive games for the first time since 1958 when the Lumberjacks won their first 11 games. The No. 11 ranking is the 'Jacks' highest since the 2003 season when they rose to No. 10.
NAU has been winning on both sides of the ball this season, with the offense ranked 32nd in the nation and the defense 28th. The Lumberjacks have averaged 221.7 yards per game through the air and 194.7 on the ground for a total of 416.3 yards per game. Meanwhile, the defense had limited opponents to 125.1 rushing yards and 205.1 passing yards per game, just 330.2 total yards.
Quarterback Gary Grossart (6-1, 180, Sr) has completed 127 of 192 passes for 1,425 yards and 10 touchdowns with five interceptions. Although he has spread the ball around, Grossart's favorite targets have been WR Dejzon Walker (6-3, 225, So), WR Ify Umodu (6-3, 215, Jr) and RB Zach Bauman (5-10, 200, Jr). Walker has 28 receptions for 411 yards and two TDs while Umodu and Bauman have each caught 24 passes, for 311 yards and three TDs and 160 yards and one score, respectively.

Keith J. Holyoak is a leading researcher in cognitive psychology and cognitive science, working on human thinking and reasoning. Holyoak pioneered modern psychological work on the role of analogy in thinking. His work showed how analogy can be used to enhance learning of new abstract concepts by both children and adults, as well as how reasoning breaks down in cases of brain damage.
Holyoak was born in British Columbia, Canada, in 1950. He received his B.A. in Psychology from the University of British Columbia in 1971, and his PhD in Psychology from Stanford University in 1976. He was on the faculty of the University of Michigan from 1976-1986, and then joined the faculty of the University of California, Los Angeles, where he is a Distinguished Professor of Psychology. Holyoak received a fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation in 1992, and a James McKeen Cattell Fellowship in 1999. He is a Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science and of the Society for Experimental Psychology. He served as Chair of the Governing Board of the Cognitive Science Society (1994-95) and Editor of the journal Cognitive Psychology (1995-99).
