Introduction for the Non-Geologist
When you drive or hike through the Jemez, you are looking at a landscape created by young volcanic eruptions. The Jemez Mountains are volcanic mountains; their landscape - every mountain, canyon and ridge—tells the story of their volcanic history. The Valles Caldera is about 12 miles (20 km) in diameter. It is one of the largest young calderas on Earth and it is considered by geologists to be an active volcano. Jemez Mountain eruptions have continued intermittently from 14 million years ago to as recently as 40,000 years ago. The Valles Caldera was formed about 1 million years ago when multiple explosive eruptions occurred that produced an immense outpouring of ash, pumice, and pyroclastic flows.
Frequently asked questions:
What is a caldera?
A caldera forms when the ground collapses into the magma chamber as the magma is erupted in a series of explosive eruptions.
Yellowstone and the Valles Caldera are similar and two of the best examples of young calderas in the world.
How old is the Valles Caldera?
The caldera formed by collapse in a series of eruptions from about 1.4 to 1.1 million years ago. But the geologic evolution of the caldera has continued to today.
What type of volcanic rock has been erupted in the Jemez Mountains?
Early eruptions consisted of basalt lava flows, ash, pumice and ash-flows. As the Valles Caldera formed, air-fall ash and pumice must have covered most of New Mexico, and neighboring states, and has been identified as far east as Kansas. Pyroclastic flows moving away from the caldera formed what is today known as the Pajarito Plateau, and the sites of Los Alamos and White Rock. After the caldera formed, later eruptions formed domes and flows of rhyolite and obsidian that occur in a ring within the caldera.
What is an ash-flow or a pyroclastic-flow?
Hot, rolling clouds of incandescent ash and rock fragments that flow along the ground. The word pyroclastic comes from the Greek for "fire-rock". Pyroclastic flows move very rapidly and are so hot that they weld into solid rock as they slow.
How high were the Jemez prior to the eruption?
Probably not much higher than they are today. This is not the type of eruption where a summit peak is blown off.
Is this a "supervolcano"?
Yes. The term "supervolcano" has recently been used to describe a caldera eruption, but it is a little misleading; calderas occur when multiple volcanoes interact and erupt in a series of eruptions, not from a single volcano or in a single very large eruption. It should be noted that volcanologists currently use the term "super eruption" to describe and eruption of several hundred cubic kilometers. But there is no definition for a "supervolcano." Presumably the non-volcanologist can be excused for the time being at least if they wish to refer to a volcano that hosted a super eruption as a "supervolcano."
Why is the Valles Caldera located here?
The Jemez Mountains are located along the western margin faults of the Rio Grande rift and are associated with the volcanic activity of this youthful and still active continental rift. The entire mountain range was built by a long record of many volcanic eruptions. The Valles Caldera was formed when multiple and long-lasting magma bodies merged into a large magma chamber.
Will the Valles Caldera erupt again?
This type of volcanism has a slow tempo. Even though the caldera appears inactive because it is grown over with trees, it probably looked like that for most of its history. The presence of hot springs shows that the caldera is part of a large, long-lived, and still active system.
General Summary: The Jemez Mountains and the Valles Caldera
- rifting in Jemez Mountains region began 16.5 Ma
- 13 to 10 Ma eruptions of basalt and rhyolite along Canada de Cochiti fault zone
- interbedded with basin-fill conglomerate and laharic breccias of Cochiti Formation
- between 10 and 7 Ma basalt and rhyolite erupted 1/2 the volume of the volcanic field
- 7 to 6 Ma eruptions of mixed magmas and sharp reduction in volcanic activity
- renewed basaltic activity at 4 Ma around margins and to east (Cerros del Rio volcanic field)
- Valles Caldera formed during eruption of Tshirege member at 1.12 Ma
- Bandelier Ash-flow Tuff erupted 1.2 Ma
- rhyolite composition
- 70 mi3 of Tshirege member (Note: Mt. St. Helens was 0.5 mi3)
- two distinct ash flow events make up the Bandelier: Tshirege Member and Otowi Member
- caldera collapse resulting from eruption from upper part of magma chamber
- roof of magma chamber at 5 to 6 km depth
- resurgent doming of the caldera floor occurred during 100,000 yrs period after Valles collapse - due to buoyant rise of the magma chamber after unloading of upper part onto surface
- caldera fill deposits now exposed on summit of Redondo Peak, 1000 m above caldera moat
- after collapse volcanic activity continued with eruption of rhyolite domes
- domes erupted along caldera ring fracture until about 0.04 Ma
- youngest eruption is the 30 to 70 m thick Banco Bonito obsidian flow on SW ring fracture
- Battleship Rock ignimbrite resulted from explosive precursor to Banco Bonito eruption

This is a comparison of the volume of the Valles Caldera eruption and the volumes of the eruptions associated with some other famous calderas and supervolcanoes. Famous historic eruptions like Krakatau, Pinatubo, and Mount St Helens are trivial by comparison with eruptions that form calderas like the Valles Caldera.
The Valles Caldera
The Valles Caldera is so big that you really need to be very high above the surface to actually see the whole structure in one scenic perspective view. The view from a commercial airline flight is excellent. This view, looking south, was taken from a small plane at an altitude of 14,000 feet above sea level. Photo, L. Crumpler
The Valles Caldera "brooding" over the Albuquerque northern Horizon.
The Valles Caldera is so large that the profile of the caldera rim ooks like an ordinary range of mountains on the horizon north of Albuquerque. The snowy peak is Cerro Rediondo, the central uplift of the caldera floor. It is slightly offset to the southwest from the caldera center, hence it appears uncentered on the rim profile from this angle. THhs view looks north along 4th Street across the Rio Grande, National Hispanic CVultural Center, and down-town Albuquerque.
Because the Valles Caldera sits astride the western boundary faults of the Rio Grande rift, there are distinct through-trending faults.
The caldera is a result of collapse following the eruption of rhyolitic magmas from a large magma chamber. There was no large volcano prior to the collapse, just many volcanoes all clustered in the region. This is what makes supervolcanoes somewhat different than the type of volcanoes that most non-volcanologist have in mind when they think of a volcano. They are broad areas of intense volcanism rather than a single giant "volcanic mountain."
The floor of the caldera was occupied by a lake shortly after the collapse event. But it was short-lived because the floor of the caldera bulged upwards over the next several tens of thousands to 100,000 years resulting in the large mountain in the center of the caldera, Redondo Peak. The floor bulged upwards when it rebounded, or "resurged", after removal of the weight of all the erupted magma, and because new, relatively degassed magma gradually inflated the top of the magma chamber. It was at this time that a series of viscous lava domes were erupted around the central buldge.

Hydrothermal Activity in the Valles Caldera
Although young and morphologically better developed than the Yellowstone caldera, hydrothermal activity in the Valles Caldera is limited. This is due, in part, to the relatively dryer environment relative to Yellowstone. It is also a function of the slighter greater age of the Valles system. Numerical models of heat transfer by fluid convection around large rhyolite magma chambers shows that the rate of heat loss is great. Unless continued magma injections occur to replace the heat loss, the thermal system will decline. The Valles caldera has been cooling for about 1.1 Ma since the caldera-forming eruption, and 0.5 Ma since the last rhyolite dome eruptions inside the caldera.
The following table summarizes the estimated thermal output of the three youngest, large ash-flow calderas in the continental Unites States.
Caldera | Thermal Energy | Age |
Yellowstone, WY | 5000 MW | 0.6 Ma |
Long Valley, CA | 180 MW | 0.76 Ma |
Valles, NM | 70 MW | 1.1 Ma |
Summary of Thermal Activity
- Hydrothermal activity initiated about 1 Ma
- Concentrated on SW resurgent dome and western ring-fracture areas
- Mostly dilute groundwater heat by high-temperatures at shallow depths
- Result of convective circulation of water over deep,hot central caldera rocks
- Meteoric water recharges the system; 300°C at depth of 2 to 3 km
- Convection in deep reservoir with "vapor cap"
- Liquid-dominated system at depth ascends convectively to 500 to 600 m depth
- Top of system is "vapor capped" by subsurface boiling at about 200°C
- Heats shallow levels that are diluted with groundwater flowing laterally
- Springs are acid-sulfate waters
- Result from condensation of steam and oxidation of H2S to form sulfuric acid
- Mixes with near-surface groundwater flowing from northern and eastern moat basins - Water flows laterally from top of system down hydrologic gradient
- Thermal waters flow down gradient outside of ring fracture in San Diego Canyon
- Vapor cap formed after breaching of SW caldera margin by ancestral Jemez River
- Resulted in draining of intracaldera lakes
- Lowered hydraulic head resulted in drop of maximum elevation of liquid in reservoir
The popular Tent Rocks recreational trails area represents debris shed off some of the earliest eruptions from the Jemez Mountains. This is an aerial obluqe view looking north. The caldera is out of the view to the left (west) and the city of Santa Fe is out of the view too, but on the right.
The tent rocks geomorphology is a result of rapid incision of the relatively soft volcanic tuff and volcanoclastic materials and perching of relatively resistant blocks of volcanic debris. Rapid incision occurs because, like most semi-arid locations, most of New Mexico's rain fall comes in brief burst during very limited times of the year. The run-off instead of run-in together wiuth soft ash and silt encourages local gullying, which further encourages localized gully incision in the same location. Hence, deep incision occurs without much weathering and rounding of the landforms.

VOWS: Best of 2012 Part II
Your Vows team shares the final nominees for Best Wedding Dress of 2012.
JODI 'JINX' STEWART-HENRIQUES — RETV VJ Perhaps one of the most anticipated nuptials last year was that of Jodi 'Jinx' Stewart and Jamaican dancehall and reggae artiste Sean Paul Henriques. The couple tied the knot on Saturday, May 26, 2012 at Boone Hall Oasis. The bride looked absolutely stunning in a couture gown — this one was in fact the 16th gown she tried on. The sight of her mum and sister in tears convinced her that this was the perfect choice. With a bodice of raised lace pattern, a custom diamante belt (sewn on by the bride) and multiple strips of chiffon gathered to portray a princess look, the gown made a formidable statement.
YANIQUE POWELL-GREEN — Junior Architect and Designer at Clifton Yap Architects We adored the modern-day fairy tale of Yanique Powell and her prince charming Omoi Green, investment banker at NCB Capital Markets. The couple opted for a traditional ceremony at the University Chapel on August 5, 2012, officiated by Dr Eric Nathan. Yanique wore a pearl white chiffon fitto- flare gown with flattering ruching. The dress was embellished with flowers, crystals and pearls. The Salon Innovation team handled her hair and make-up, while Kimberly Patterson did her bridal party's make-up.
LIANNA MARIE WONGMCKENZIE, Senior Graphic Designer at Deskey Associates Jason John McKenzie, electrical field engineer at Bechtel Corporation, wed Lianna Marie Wong at Sts Peter and Paul Church on Saturday, June 9, 2012. The wedding was catered by ace cake consultant Selena Wong, who also happens to be Lianna's mum. The bride wore a strapless gown with silver detailing around the waist by La Sposa Bridal. Her make-up was skilfully applied by Nicki Quallo and her hair was styled by Carolyn Wong Sam.
MISTY BROWN, Critical Care Registered Nurse, Cardiothoracic Vascular and Transplant Unit at St Vincent's Hospital, USA Misty Dawn Hubbard wed Dr Desmon Antonio Brown, oral and maxillofacial surgeon, attending physician and assistant professor at Indiana University, on June 23, 2012 at Secrets Wild Orchid, Montego Bay. The bride wore a white strapless gown from Romona Keveza's 2012 collection Legends. She also wore delicately applied make-up by Paul March, which complemented her tasteful updo by Jozie Douglas of Jozie's Hair Salon.
PETRINA RENNIE-JAGGON, Psychologist Petrina Monique Rennie — daughter of the late Captain Peter Rennie of the Jamaica Defence Force Air Wing, and Ingrid Rennie-Anderson, educator and retired business executive — exchanged vows with Captain Richard Jaggon — son of school Principal Isaac Jaggon and business executive Daphne Jaggon — on November 17, 2012 at the University Chapel, Mona. Petrina certainly turned heads when she walked up the aisle in a strapless gown with sequinned embellishments and a traditional train some three feet in length. She wore her hair in a sleek bun, which was covered by a long, delicate veil. Her bouquet, composed of white Casablanca lilies and roses, was created by Frances Angus.
ROSHAL LEIGH ERSKINE-MARSHALL, Attorney-at-law Roshal Leigh Erskine — daughter of noted communications consultant Marcia Erskine and attorney-atlaw Michael Erskine — wed Dr Zwade Marshall — son of entrepreneur Hazel Marshall and quantity surveyor Clairmont Marshall— on December 8, 2012 at Half Moon Resort, Montego Bay, before some 200 guests. The bride looked absolutely stunning in "Willow" from designer Jenny Packham's 2012 collection. The ivorycoloured gown featured dramatic beading along the bodice, a sheer low back, V-neckline, with delicately beaded sheer cap sleeves. From a jewelled belt, the draped chiffon skirt cascades into a short train. The bouquet of white roses and orchids was created by Ann Marie Wyss. Roshal Leigh Erskine's glam squad included Loni Jones who applied the bride's make-up and Wayne Maxwell who created the bride's gorgeous hairstyle.
DR SIMARTA BRENNAN-PRESCOD Dr Simarta Brennan wed Barbadian Samuel Prescod at St Margaret's Church, Liguanea, on March 24. She stunned in an elegant Maggie Sottero gown with a cascading train and accompanying veil. Her flawless make-up was applied by Sharon Wint-Levy of Face Forward.
SAKEENA DAMMAR Sakeena (centre) opted for a traditional Hindu ceremony with her groom Dhiraagh Dammar at the Wyndham Kingston hotel in June. Naturally, the bride made her grand entrance in a stunning red sequinned bridal lengha.

Back to Chapter 5: A Tempest, a Shipwreck, an Earthquake, and What Else Befell Dr. Pangloss, Candide, and James, the Anabaptist
French version: Comment On Fit Un Bel Auto-da-Fé Pour Empêcher Les Tremblements de Terre, et Comment Candide Fut Fessé
In consequence thereof they had seized on a Biscayan for marrying his godmother, and on two Portuguese for taking out the bacon of a larded pullet they were eating; after dinner they came and secured Dr. Pangloss, and his pupil Candide, the one for speaking his mind, and the other for seeming to approve what he had said. They were conducted to separate apartments, extremely cool, where they were never incommoded with the sun. Eight days afterwards they were each dressed in a sanbenito, and their heads were adorned with paper mitres. The mitre and sanbenito worn by Candide were painted with flames reversed and with devils that had neither tails nor claws; but Dr. Pangloss's devils had both tails and claws, and his flames were upright. In these habits they marched in procession, and heard a very pathetic sermon, which was followed by an anthem, accompanied by bagpipes. Candide was flogged to some tune, while the anthem was being sung; the Biscayan and the two men who would not eat bacon were burned, and Pangloss was hanged, which is not a common custom at these solemnities. The same day there was another earthquake, which made most dreadful havoc.
Candide, amazed, terrified, confounded, astonished, all bloody, and trembling from head to foot, said to himself, "If this is the best of all possible worlds, what are the others? If I had only been whipped, I could have put up with it, as I did among the Bulgarians; but, not withstanding, oh my dear Pangloss! my beloved master! thou greatest of philosophers! that ever I should live to see thee hanged, without knowing for what! O my dear Anabaptist, thou best of men, that it should be thy fate to be drowned in the very harbor! O Miss Cunegund, you mirror of young ladies! that it should be your fate to have your body ripped open!"
He was making the best of his way from the place where he had been preached to, whipped, absolved and blessed, when he was accosted by an old woman, who said to him, "Take courage, child, and follow me."

Zoning Boards
Posted By adminknia On @ 7:29 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
Washington County's new zoning ordinance will mean a restructuring of the boards that serve to handle the current subdivision ordinance. Under the proposed plan, the land use and planning commission and the board of adjustment will be absorbed into two new entities meant to deal with both zoning, and the subdivision ordinance. Interim Engineer Jacob Thorius is recommending the new planning commission be comprised of some old members, some of the people who wrote the zoning ordinance and some new members. He's making a similar suggestion for the new board of adjustment.

Range Unit-Root (RUR) Tests: Robust against Nonlinearities, Error Distributions, Structural Breaks and Outliers
Since the seminal paper by Dickey and Fuller in 1979, unit-root tests have conditioned the standard approaches to analysing time series with strong serial dependence in mean behaviour, the focus being placed on the detection of eventual unit roots in an autoregressive model fitted to the series. In this paper, we propose a completely different method to test for the type of long-wave patterns observed not only in unit-root time series but also in series following more complex data-generating mechanisms. To this end, our testing device analyses the unit-root persistence exhibited by the data while imposing very few constraints on the generating mechanism. We call our device the range unit-root (RUR) test since it is constructed from the running ranges of the series from which we derive its limit distribution. These nonparametric statistics endow the test with a number of desirable properties, the invariance to monotonic transformations of the series and the robustness to the presence of important parameter shifts. Moreover, the RUR test outperforms the power of standard unit-root tests on near-unit-root stationary time series; it is invariant with respect to the innovations distribution and asymptotically immune to noise. An extension of the RUR test, called the forward-backward range unit-root (FB-RUR) improves the check in the presence of additive outliers. Finally, we illustrate the performances of both range tests and their discrepancies with the Dickey-Fuller unit-root test on exchange rate series.

Granny Pam at Granny's Genealogy recommended a program in a comment on Carol's blog Reflections from the Fence for transcribing from images that I downloaded and am trying out for transcribing wills.
The program is Transcript and it is available here. All I can say, is OMG! This is fantastic. I wish I had this program twenty-plus years when my dad and I photocopied over 200 letters, most from his great-grandmother Percival, and I transcribed them all. It was a lot of work, but it would have been made better by this gem of a program.
Right now I am transcribing a probate record that contains 65 pages. Of course, some of the pages are just folder covers, but some are quite detailed. You can set the image to scroll line by line as you hit enter for a new line and/or as word wrap starts a new line. It will save the document as an .rtf. Right now, I'm typing and then copying and pasting into my genealogy software. It's a beautiful thing and it is freeware.

When it comes to psoriatic arthritis, sometimes you have to hit it with everything you've got. Keeping up with the traditional psoriatic arthritis treatments from your doctor is one way to fight it. And fortunately, there are plenty of other alternative methods that may offer additional relief.
One such alternative treatment for psoriatic arthritis is acupuncture — when a practitioner inserts very thin needles into the skin to release natural painkillers in your body — and as many as 3 million Americans use this therapy for chronic pain. A 2012 review of studies involving nearly 18,000 people found that acupuncture was effective at treating chronic pain for a variety of problems, including osteoarthritis, headaches, and pain in the back, neck, and shoulder.
Jessi De La Cruz, CMT, a 37-year-old certified massage therapist in East Lansing, Mich., combines there alternative treatments for her psoriatic arthritis. De La Cruz, who was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis about 10 years ago, gets reflexology about once a month, massage once or twice a month, and acupressure (same concept as acupuncture, but without needles) when she can.
As a massage therapist, it's important that De La Cruz stays in good physical shape to do her job. But when she has a bad flare, it affects her feet and left hand. At times, the pain has been so bad that she has had to miss work because of it.
De La Cruz has been taking an injectable biologic drug since 2008, which has been the biggest factor in controlling her symptoms. But she still experiences swelling, soreness, and problems with joint mobility. The alternative treatments help with the lingering symptoms and dealing with stress.
"I think overall it helps in terms of getting myself more grounded and centered so I can take better care of myself," De La Cruz said. She knows that when she's under stress, she feels more pain and has more psoriasis, but reflexology goes a long way to alleviate the stress.
Psoriatic Arthritis Alternative Treatment: Reflexology
Chronic pain brings chronic stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. Reflexology helps relieve pain by eliciting the relaxation response, said Susan Raskin, MS, RN, CNS, a clinical nurse specialist in holistic nursing and a certified reflexologist in Croton, N.Y. A reflexologist uses alternating pressure on points on the feet or hands that represent different muscles, gland, organs, and tissues of the body.
"By alternating the pressure, it helps the client get into a very deep state of relaxation," said Raskin. "When your body can relax, you reap the benefits." Relaxation helps counteract the fight-or-flight hormones and brings out the rest-and-digest hormones, which may boost the immune system and assist the body in healing itself.
Raskin is clear that reflexology doesn't heal anything, but it does assist the body with healing. She also coaches her clients on deep breathing and letting go of tension in their bodies.
Relaxation is a gift you can give yourself, Raskin said. If you try reflexology, she recommended looking for a certified practitioner. You can find one by going to the Reflexology Association of America Web site.
Other Psoriatic Arthritis Alternative Treatments: Exercise and Diet Matter, Too
Additional alternative treatments can include everything from meditation to massage, physical therapy, and even aromatherapy. And of course, diet and exercise can affect your psoriatic arthritis too.
De La Cruz eats a healthy vegetarian diet because she feels avoiding meat helps improve her psoriasis. She exercises regularly by doing body rolling, which involves using a ball and body weight to help increase flexibility and range of motion.
It's certainly true that getting exercise, eating a healthy diet, and lowering stress can impact your pain and help you function better when you have arthritis, said Soumya Reddy, MD, assistant professor of rheumatology and dermatology and co-director of the NYU Langone Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Center in New York City.
It is also worthwhile to try alternative therapies like acupuncture and reflexology in addition to traditional treatment, Dr. Reddy said. "Different modalities work for different patients when it comes to stress and pain relief, and it's important for patients to find things that work for them," she said. Reddy recommended talking to your doctor first to be sure the therapy is safe.

the film musical: overlooked gems
In fact, the "film version" of a stage hit was seen as some kind of validation, much to the chagrin of Broadway types who would invariably complain about the bastardization of one of their own.
Exacerbating this was the fact that certain bona fide hit musicals somehow fell through the cracks, also inciting the Broadway community.
You're damned it you do and damned if you don't.
Some shows finally made it to the screen after a long delay - "Chicago," "The Phantom of the Opera," "Dreamgirls," "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" and "Les Misérables."
But there are other titles that have been neglected for several decades.
Say, five decades.
Instead of doing remakes (new versions of "Gypsy," "Carousel" and "My Fair Lady have been threatened), why not be adverturous and committ some longgone, once-legendary stage musical to celluloid?
I'm thinking specifically of two superior shows by composers Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Fiorello" and the endlessly enchanting "She Loves Me"; John Kander and Fred Ebb's "Zorba" and "70 - Girls - 70"; Frank Loesser's masterwork, "The Most Happy Fella," adapted from Sidney Howard's "They Knew What They Wanted," and his underrated "Greenwillow," and Robert Merrill's hugely popular hit "Take Me Along," based on Eugene O'Neill's "Ah, Wilderness!," which caused quite the stir in its day, thanks to Jackie Gleason's star power.
Prior to his death, Bobby Darin had talked about buying "Fiorello" as a starring film vehicle for himself, and Tony Perkins, who starred in the Loesser show on Broadway, wanted to film "Greenwillow" with Jane Fonda (his "Tall Story" co-star) as his leading lady.
And, saddest of all, "She Loves Me" was once the dream project of Blake Edwards who hoped to film it at MGM with Julie Andrews in the Barbara Cook role, but MGM's long-time instability was starting up at the time.
Missed opportunities.
Meanwhile. producers Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus were once so committed to filming the stage musical of "Zorba," with the original film star, Anthony Quinn, encoring in the title role, that they even took out one of those "production about to begin" ads in Variety. John Travolta was listed in the ad as Quinn's co-star, presumably in the Alan Bates role.
It never happened, natch. And neither did the others.
Film them already!

My pick for best unfilmed musical is the wonderful David Shire/Richard Maltby show "Baby". It has everything you could want in a show and would reach all age demographics. It's got comedy, heart, drama and sentiment in equal measures. A wonderful score too. It wouldn't be that expensive to film either, requiring neither extensive sets or costumes. Cast it right and watch the money come rolling in like a tidal wave.
I've always longed to see movies of "She Loves Me" and "Fiorello." But I never knew that they almost happened. I hope they still do.
I would go see "The Most Happy Fella" based on its title alone. It's only too bad that studios believe people will only go see that which they have seen before (and it's only too bad that, too often, they're right).
How about a film of "Promises, Promises"? Perhaps starring Steve Carrel and Zooey Deschanel? That would be great.
I can hear the studio head now when "Promises, Promises" is pitched: "Do you think this story could work without the songs?
Yes, there are many wonderful musicals that have been forgotten. FIORELLO is an example, so is THE MOST HAPPY FELLA. LUTE SONG hasn't been done, and then there are those musicals which were destroyed in the movie versions because songs were removed (which you had to do when the movie stars someone like Ava Gardner, who couldn't sing): I'm thinking of ONE TOUCH OF VENUS. Another is LADY IN THE DARK. You might want to revamp the books - the dated Freudianism of LADY IN THE DARK is rather painful - but, damn, those Kurt Weill songs are good!

Politicians running for everything from the presidency to dogcatcher point to education as a crucial issue for America. We know education is the avenue for creating opportunity in life, and every politician worth his weight in campaign promises has a plan for improving the quality of education in our nation and for enhancing access to higher education.
Politicians seem to think the biggest barrier to a college degree is financial aid. Clearly, the politicians who think this have yet to help a child actually apply to an American university. The biggest barrier to higher education isn't money; it's the application process itself.
In short, the only people who can get into college these days are the students with a personal executive secretary (aka "Mom"). You can't complete the process without an Excel spreadsheet, 27 different user names and passwords, an electronic signature PIN, tax returns dating to the American Revolution and a partridge in a pear tree.
Back in the educational Stone Age when I applied for college, I filled out a simple form, got a check from my parents for $25 and asked the secretary at my high school to send the admissions folks a copy of my transcript.
My daughter, a high school senior, has been working on this process for the past several weeks. Time is running out since most of these are due on Jan. 2.
Between now and then, she has to file regular applications as well as supplemental application forms, have SAT and ACT scores sent to the schools on her list, and for good measure, round up recommendation letters from several teachers, our pediatrician, the UPS deliveryman and the guy running for dogcatcher.
Oh, and if she has any hope of getting into one of these schools, she has only about a month to cure a disease. And not just any disease. To do her any good in the competitive world of college admissions, it would need to be a really good disease.
Perhaps the most time-consuming aspect of the college application process – not to mention the part that makes access to college much more doubtful than simply paying for it – is the completion of roughly 87 essay questions.
You want to know why college remains a distant dream for many of America's young people? Because they are ill-equipped to write a 250-word response to prompts such as "If you were a midcentury jazz song, what song would you be and why?"
Actually, having read a couple dozen of my daughter's college essays, I'm certain our politicians are missing out on a treasure trove of ready answers to the pressing issues of our day. This is because at least twelve universities want high school seniors to answer the question, "What is the most pressing issue of our day and how would you solve it?"
Unfortunately, most college applicants are unwilling to answer this question honestly because for them, the most pressing issue of the day is coming up with an answer to the question about a pressing issue of the day – and not just any answer, but one that will cure a really good disease.
I appreciate the concern that politicians have for those of us whose children face the daunting task of gaining entry into an institution of higher learning, but having read the education platforms of both major parties, I think they're missing the point. They can offer all the financial aid in the world, but until one of them comes up with a compelling reason to be "Take the A Train" over "Java Jive," I'm thinking America's higher-education dilemma will continue.
Then again, as answers go, improving access to financial aid is close enough for jazz.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- Rich Rodriguez will not be making a smooth transition from West Virginia to Michigan. At least not financially.
West Virginia University's Board of Governors is suing its former football coach to collect a 4-million-dollar buyout of his contract with the school. The lawsuit states the university believes Rodriguez doesn't intend to abide by the contract.
The buyout clause requires Rodriguez to pay 4-million dollars to the school over a two-year period, with one-third of the total due 30 days after his employment ends. His resignation was effective December 19th.
Rodriguez went to the Wolverines after seven seasons in Morgantown, where he led the Mountaineers to four Big East championships and a 60-26 record.

Gateway to College Attracts 50 Participants for Fall 2008
June 04, 2008
Gateway to College is currently enrolling students for fall semester 2008. To begin the process, students must attend an informational and two evaluation sessions, followed by an interview.
Informational sessions will be held on June 24, July 8 and 15, on the Florissant Valley campus at 3400 Pershall Road. In order to attend a session, students must first complete an application, which will be sent upon receipt of the required RSVP.
Gateway to College is designed for young adults ages 16 to 20 who did not complete high school. It enables them to earn a high school diploma while simultaneously earning college credit toward an associate degree or certificate, and pays for student maintenance fees and books.
As part of the program, students can join clubs and access labs on campus as long as they adhere to certain rights and responsibilities. Resource specialists will provide support to the students, help them adapt to academic life, function as their motivators and mentors and affirm their decision to re-enter school.
Gateway to College, along with funding from partner school districts, provides support staff and services for up to 350 students from the Hazelwood and Ferguson-Florissant school districts who left high school without a diploma. Students must meet specific criteria to enter the program and will be dually enrolled at STLCC-Florissant Valley until they complete their high school diploma or reach the age of 21.
The Gateway to College National Network is part of the Early College High School Initiative funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, The Ford Foundation and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Jobs for the Future, an action/research and policy organization that promotes innovation in education and workforce development, serves as the initiative's coordinating intermediary.
To RSVP for one of the informational sessions or for eligibility requirements, contact Angela Brooks at 314-513-4216 or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Available in basic coupe, convertible and Z06 trim, the addition of all the graphics, wheels, spoilers and 'Jake' logos only costs $2,350.

I loved Liza's fluid arm movements. I wouldn't recommend her taking after Alissa's arm movements, aka telegraphing.
Actually I feel Adelina is more like Mao and Liza is more like Yuna if we're talking rivalries. Yuna was definitely second to Mao while they were both in juniors...but Yuna began to be competitive during the GP series winning the final both in 2007 and 2008. (though Mao would beat her come worlds in 2007 and 2008).

Comments about Outdoor Bark Control:
I bought the Outdoor Bark control to use when we go to campgrounds. I have only tried this once and it did stop our dogs from barking. I am hoping when we go camping it will stop other dogs too.
Best Uses
Comments about Outdoor Bark Control:
I bought this because our two dogs, Scottish Terrier mix and German Shepherd mix bark at a squirrel every morning, nonstop until I bring them in the house. I tried the cintronella spray collar, but the bigger dog chewed it off the smaller dog, and it was a hassle to put it on him every night. I don't want our neighbors to hate us,so I bought the birdhouse product. The barking has subsided completely! Now, they whimper at the squirrel instead of bark. I just purchased 2 more, one for the other neighbor's side because they are doing a lot of landscaping and again the dogs bark nonstop. The third will be for the farthest corner of the yard, there's something back there that makes the Scottish Terrier bark. I keep the range on 3, only because I want them to be able to run around the center of the yard and play with each other and they tend to snarl and bark when they play. I was going to buy the underground wiring also offered, but I can't stand the thought of my dogs being shocked, even lightly. This is a humane way to take care of the barking issue. I just hope that it's weatherproof.
Best Uses
Comments about Outdoor Bark Control:
The product performs outstanding. The only thing I failed to take into consideration was my blind dog and this really hurt his ears to the point he didn't want to go outside. Make sure if you have small children around you check the volume to make sure they didn't increase it.

Comments about Outdoor Bark Control:
I was so excited for this to arrive, since my mother purchased 1 and it worked for her like a charm, her neighbor even asked if her dog had passed? Since she has not been woke in the morning by barking. I live on a corner lot, with a lot of traffic, this does not work for me at all! My dog large dog has been affraid of yard etc.. and has taken over 1 week to calm down. Since I can't hear this, it seems to be on all of the time, due to picking up all of the different sounds around our home. Would be nice if it would just go off, when it hears a bark. I think I will keep for when we are outside to and manually turn on when she is barking out of control.

Quick Facts
3 September 1849: Marion county was renamed from Champoeg County.
Named for Francis Marion, a Continental Army general in the American Revolutionary War. [1]
Trivia Tidbits: Little biographic bits associated with the names of non-population localities.
Parent County
None, one of original counties.
Boundary Changes
Originally one of the four districts named in July of 1843, Champooick District (later called Champoeg) ranged from the Willamette river on the west to the Continental Divide on the east and south to California.[2]
In 1845 the districts were renamed counties, and in 1849, the name of Champoeg District was changed to Marion County to honor Revolutionary War hero General Francis Marion.[3] Marion County was already smaller than when it started, because 28 Dec 1847 the Provisional Legislature created Linn County out of the southern portion of Champoeg,[4] establishing the boundary at the North Fork of the Santiam River. Then, on 11 Jan 1854, the Territorial Legislature created Wasco County from the eastern parts of Marion, Linn, Clackamas and Lane Counties.[5] This set the eastern border of Marion County at the Cascade Range, where it remains today.
Originally the county had a county court form of government, but as the state judiciary branch of state government grew, there was less need of a county court. In 1941 the county court system was stripped of judicial function and the remaining probate and civil cases were transferred to the Circuit Court. In 1963 the county changed to a county commissioner form of government.[6]

Corridor Traffic ManagementWhen congested traffic conditions occur on one roadway, traffic on adjoining roadways or freeway interchanges in the corridor, are also impacted. Typically, as congestion occurs on one roadway, travelers respond in a variety of ways: finding an alternate route, selecting a different roadway (freeway versus surface street), adjusting their trip to another time of day, or remaining on their current route and enduring the significant delays. These disruptions range in scale, frequency, predictability, duration, and have the potential to impact a number of facilities or modes. A number of promising approaches may enhance how we currently operate the surface transportation system. The proactive use of managed lane strategies, alternate routing of traffic, and proactively managing and controlling traffic within freeway corridors offer are a few useful approaches. These strategies have the potential to achieve significantly greater levels of utilization of the existing roadway capacity, improve travel times, enhance safety, and reliability of travel.

Smart phones can be too confusing

Look, if you want to make a smart phone "smart" and easy to use, make the ability to perform a task or search through options (customize, change ringtones, look up email, messaging, phone log, camera... etc), then make the software redundant. By redundant, I don't mean retarded, I mean make whatever you are doing have multiple ways of doing or accomplishing it. Take for instance, while on a computer, if you want to copy and paste something, you can do it multiple ways (right click, menu bar, ctrl+c then ctrl+v). I develop database software and the one thing I get all the time is that my databases are so easy to use. It is because I design them with "user friendly" in mind. I use big buttons on the screen. If go to a form, and while using it you need to go to another form as well, it easily has the ability to select something else. Make it redundant to make it easy... or maybe just use common sense when designing something.

I think the problem is people don't want to spend the time getting to understand their phone, read the help files that every single smartphone has installed on the device, or look on mobile forums for quick answers. Instead they call AT&T or Verizon or Sprint and ask how to use the Apple, Windows, or Linux based phone. Why not go to windowsmobile.com, apple.com, or google.com and LOOK!!!!!! It isn't hard. If you don't think you need a smartphone, DON'T BUY IT! research before you purchase. Would you buy a car without knowing the slightest thing about it? If you are smart you asnswer that question with a "No." If you aren't, go buy a Touch Pro....

Let me explain why this is news. The smartphone market this year grew by something like 67% over the previous year thanks to the start of the Motorola Q in 2006 being the first smartphone device to not be thick ugly and carry the label of business attached to it. The Q revolutionized the smartphoen industry, blackberries became slimmer user firendly and apple again revolutionized the touch screen device. This is news because analysts predect the smartphone market to grow by another 80% next year. Google, Windows, Apple, Nokia all need this kind of info and you should thank the post.

Thank you post. Hows this for a headline: "dumb phones can be too limited in functionality", or how about, "Natural selection fails to kill off clunky smart phones. Reaserchers baffled". I don't need a Phonearena article to tell me that some PDAs have crapy UIs. And I deffinitly could have done without your little history lesson.

Do you expect EVERYONE to know how to use it out of the box? Savvy people will tinker around the phone and find out how it works. Generic non-computer people who upgrade to the phone will want everything placed in order. Windows Mobile is the most complicated phone. It took a day or 2 to know the routine and now very easy after practice. I prefer Windows Mobile and Andriod over iPhone because they are "smarter" than the app / crap iPhone. The main difference: The iPhone has to run everything through iTunes. Yeah you can jailbreak it, but it's still an app phone. Windows Mobile allows you to turn your phone into a jump drive with the added storage, manage files directly on the phone, edit files remotely, and manage servers. Sure you might find a terminal program for the iPhone, but you can't unzip files, ftp files, or create files directly on your iPhone.

Philippe-Sirice Bridel, (born Nov. 20, 1757, Begnins, Switz.—died May 20, 1845, Montreux), man of letters, known as le doyen Bridel, who advocated an indigenous Swiss literature and tried to awaken a national consciousness in all areas of life. A French-language writer, Bridel helped bring both French- and German-speaking Swiss together in politics as well as in literature and science.
While serving as a pastor at Basel, Château-d'Oex, and Montreux, Bridel devoted most of his attention to literature and to questions of linguistics, natural science, and Swiss history. His poetry is less important than his philological work, Glossaire du patois de la Suisse romande (posthumous, 1866; "Glossary of the Patois of French Switzerland"), and two series of his miscellaneous writings: Étrennes helvétiennes (1783–87; "Helvetic Gifts") and Conservateur suisse (1813–31; "Swiss Conservator"). The Swiss literary patriotism that he espoused influenced the poet Juste Olivier (1807–76).

SmartAVI, Inc. DVS400 allows you to extend a DVI-D signal to up to four displays via one small unit that also loops a signal back to your computer so local monitoring is possible and simple.
A great example would be a retail shop running its digital signage from a computer in its back office; using the DVS400, a media file or group of files could be broadcast to up to two screens situated around the store while also being viewed locally on that computers monitor.
Quite simply, the outgoing DVI-D signal from your computer is plugged into the DVS400. This box has one input and 4 outputs, so that your signal can be sent up to 220 feet over inexpensive CAT6 cables to display screens anywhere in your retail shop, lounge, etc. In addition to the two outgoing signal ports, the unit also has a loop-back port that goes back to your computer, so that you may monitor exactly what is being broadcast to the remote screens. This is all done from a single unit with one power supply.
On power-up, the DVS400 reads and stores the EDID of the DVI monitor connected to the local loop-back port. From that point on, even if the local monitor is not attached to the unit, its DDC is retained in the flash memory of the DVS400 unit and it will operate as if the monitor were connected, offering unhindered use and simple flexibility.
4 PORTS DVI-D CAT6 STP Extender Features:
- Local DVI output
- Perfect Image Quality at all Resolutions
- Video Resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz (1280 x 1024 @ 75Hz) on all distances to the maximum limit
- Automatic DDC Learning From Local Monitor
- DDC Tables Stored in Flash Memory for Future Use
- Unit Operates Regardless of Local Monitor Connectivity
- Distances: up to 220 Feet via STP CAT5e or STP CAT6 Cable(Best Quality/Distance)
- Compatible With all Operating Systems
- Rack Mount Options(19"): Mount up to Four DVS400 Units in a 19"/1U Rack Mount Kit, Saving Expensive Rack Space
- MAC or PC Versions Available
4 PORTS DVI-D CAT6 STP Extender Applications:
- Perfect Image Quality at all Resolutions
- Call Centers (co-locate user�s computers)
- Industrial (protection against pollution)
- Information Terminals & Kiosks
- Airports (air traffic control, passenger information systems)
- Medical(using computer tomographs generates strong magnetic fields, which make it impossible to use monitors)
4 PORTS DVI-D CAT6 STP Extender Specifications:
- Video Interface: DVI

The aluminum flywheel will rev faster, but it doesn't hold the energy you'll need for a heavy vehicle.
aluminum flywheel
Even though I have a 10 lb aluminum flywheel for 289/302/and 351 C &W, I dont recommend using an aluminum flywheel in a street driven pickup. The reason is that with the reduced weight, you will lose the centrifical force generated by the heavier flywheel, which makes driving away from stop signs at low engine speeds possible. The heavier flywheel is what helps keep the inertia built up in your rotating assemly, making liesurely starts from stop lights possible. With the aluminum, you would probably have to rev up your engine more and feather the clutch some to get moving.
MI2600 is right. The advantage to aluminum flywheels are they they allow your engine to rev faster as well as drop off rpm quicker. Last edited by Max Keith; 12-21-2004 at 02:08 PM. |
Appreciate the replies...
...well max keith if your gonna talk me out of buying your flywheel...just kidding...makes sense.... someone wouldn't have a stock flywheel laying around, resurfaced and priced right (aka cheap) would they? (351w) |
Sorry, I sold my iron flywheel last spring.
I would go to your local salvage yard and get one. It will probably be cheaper in the long run. You can run a dial indicator on the face to see if its good and flat. Flywheel warpage doesnt seem to be a problem with Small block flywheels, so if anything, it might need resurfacing. I do have a stick shift flywheel for a 400M, but thats not much help for a small block. |
An aluminum flywheel will work very well on the street.
You will have extra available horsepower due to the fact you aren't trying to turn a large mass of cast iron flywheel. Plus the engine will rev quicker. No detrimental affects will be noticed on the clutch. Available documentation to prove my point if necessary. |
aluminum flywheel
We are talking about a small displacement, basically stock engine in a 5000 lb truck, not a big block in a light weight car.
I dont recall anyone saying there would be any detrimental causes to the clutch. The difference in convenience and driveability was the topic on the aluminum flywheel. |
Re: use of aluminum flywheel on the street..thoughts
convenience and driveablity
Take a good look at the vehicle hes driving. Hes planning to drop a stock or near stock small block in the truck.
We are not talking about running a mega engine here, or looking for the inth in acceleration. If power and acelleration are the order of the day, there are far more convenient and less expensive ways to get it than with an aluminum flywheel. Aluminum flywheels are run on the street everyday, but for his application, its just not all that practical. Its just not a necessary option. He was asking if there were any reasons why he shouldnt run an aluminum flywheel and I gave him a couple. Ive tried them on the street, myself, and wound up going back to stock steel flywheels just for the reasons I mentioned in my previous posting. Stop and Go driving being the biggest reason. |
Well he doesn't say what size engine is going in to it.
Just that it's a V8. Anyway. nuff said. I'm sure there are larger concerns in the world so lets just agree to disaree. Hm. No beer icon. |
no beer icon
357F-F150 and I have discussed this swap on other threads, so I guess that gives me some inside info on engine etc.
At any rate, raise a toast with your next LeBlatt! |
