Air Pollution Impacts
Mount Rainier National Park
Natural and scenic resources in Mount Rainier National Park (NP) are susceptible to the harmful effects of air pollution. Nitrogen, mercury, ozone, and fine particles impact natural resources such as lakes, streams, fish, and vegetation, and scenic resources such as visibility. Click on the tabs below to learn more about air pollutants and their impacts on natural and scenic resources at Mount Rainier NP.
- Nitrogen & Sulfur
- Toxics & Mercury
- Ozone
- Visibility
How much nitrogen is too much?
Nitrogen is a fertilizer and some nitrogen is necessary for plants to grow. However, in natural ecosystems, too much nitrogen disrupts the balance of plant and aquatic communities, allowing weed species to grow faster. In some areas of Washington State, including the Columbia River Gorge and the Willamette Valley, high levels of nitrogen deposition have changed lichen communities. In those areas, lichens adapted to low nitrogen conditions are being replaced by lichens adapted to a more disturbed, polluted environment (Geiser and Neitlich 2007; Geiser et al. 2010). Surveys near Mount Rainier NP have found that the lichen communities are little affected by current nitrogen deposition rates. However, lichens can serve as an early warning system if nitrogen deposition increases. Similarly, the composition of sensitive aquatic communities can provide early warning signs of nitrogen deposition effects to waterbodies.
Nitrogen and sulfur compounds deposited from air pollution may harm lakes, streams, soils, and vegetation in Mount Rainier NP. High elevation ecosystems in the park are sensitive to nitrogen and sulfur deposition. Not only do these systems receive more atmospheric deposition than lower elevation areas, but short growing seasons and shallow soils limit the capacity of soils and plants to absorb nitrogen, and dilute surface waters cannot buffer the effects of acid deposition.
Effects of nitrogen and sulfur deposition at Mount Rainier NP include:
- Elevated and increasing concentrations of ammonium in deposition, a compound that originates from agriculture (NPS 2010 [pdf, 2.8 MB]);
- Elevated concentrations of acidic compounds in precipitation, as compared to background levels at nearby Olympic NP (Nieber et al. 2009);
- Spring snowmelt, late summer storms, or rain-on-snow events can cause highly acidic deposition events which could have detrimental effects on aquatic life and amphibians (Clow and Campbell 2008 [pdf, 2.1 MB]);
- Episodic acidification of Eunice Lake, one of many lakes in the park sensitive to acidification (Samora and Clow 2002);
- The chemistry of cloud water samples taken at the park indicate some of the lowest levels of pH and highest levels of acidity of any taken in the state (Basabe et al. 1989a).
Toxics, including heavy metals like mercury, accumulate in the tissue of organisms and may alter key ecosystem processes. When mercury converts to methylmercury in the environment and enters the food chain, effects can include reduced reproductive success, impaired growth and development, behavioral abnormalities, reduced immune response, and decreased survival. Human activities have greatly increased the amount of mercury in the environment through processes such as burning coal for electricity and burning waste. Other toxic air contaminants of concern include pesticides, industrial by-products, and emerging chemicals. Some of these toxics are also known or suspected to cause cancer or other serious chronic health effects in humans and wildlife.
Effects of mercury and airborne toxics on ecosystems at Mount Rainier NP include:
- Presence of contaminants including mercury, current-use pesticides, historic-use pesticides, and industrial by-products in snow, sediment, vegetation, and fish (Frenzel et al. 1990; Hageman et al. 2006; Moran et al. 2007; Landers et al. 2010; Landers et al. 2008);
- Levels of dieldrin, a historic-use pesticide, in fish that exceed safe consumption thresholds for human health (Ackerman et al. 2008; Landers et al. 2010; Landers et al. 2008);
- Mercury concentrations in fish are among the highest of eight national parks studied, exceeding safe consumption thresholds for wildlife and humans; levels are associated with tissue damage in fish kidney and spleen (Landers et al. 2010; Landers et al. 2008; Schwindt et al. 2008);
- Fish from "contaminated" lakes (i.e., elevated mercury, DDE, and PCBs) in Washington's high elevation national parks including Mount Rainier NP displayed changes in metabolic, endocrine, and immune-related genes, as compared to fish from uncontaminated lakes (Moran et al. 2007);
- Eleven park lakes sampled for fish mercury levels had at least one fish sample for which the fillet concentration exceeded the State of Washington mercury consumption advisory for sensitive human populations (Haines et al. 2000).
Naturally-occurring ozone in the upper atmosphere absorbs the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays and helps to protect all life on earth. However, in the lower atmosphere, ozone is an air pollutant, forming when nitrogen oxides from vehicles, power plants, and other sources combine with volatile organic compounds from gasoline, solvents, and vegetation in the presence of sunlight. In addition to causing respiratory problems in people, ozone can injure plants. Ozone enters leaves through pores (stomata), where it can kill plant tissues, causing visible injury, or reduce photosynthesis, growth, and reproduction.
Ozone is transported to Mount Rainier NP from the Puget Sound urban zone and via trans-Pacific air masses (Barna et al. 2000; Jaffe et al. 2003). While several park species including Abies lasiocarpa (subalpine fir) and Populus trichocarpa (black cottonwood) that are known to be sensitive to ozone (Brace et al. 1999) have been systematically evaluated, no ozone injury has been documented in the park.
Search the list of ozone-sensitive plant species (pdf, 184 KB) found at each national park.
Many visitors come to Mount Rainier NP to enjoy stunning views of the fifth tallest peak in the contiguous 48 states, the highest in the chain of volcanoes comprising the Cascade Range. Unfortunately, these vistas are often obscured by haze caused by fine particles in the air. Many of the same pollutants that ultimately fall out as nitrogen and sulfur deposition contribute to this haze and visibility impairment. Organic compounds, soot, and dust reduce visibility as well.
Visibility effects at Mount Rainier NP include:
- Reduction of the average natural visual range from about 140 miles (without the effects of pollution) to about 65 miles because of pollution at the parks;
- Reduction of the visual range from about 100 miles to below 40 miles on high pollution days;
- Human-caused haze frequently impairs scenic vistas at the park.

Cai Guo-Qiang: Head On could be seen at Deutsche Guggenheim, 2006 : link.
Head On concept:
With few wolves scattered in the front gallery, all ninety-nine wolves run, gallop, and jump toward the far end of the exhibition hall, where a wall stands. The bravery of the wolves is met head on by the unyielding wall. As the leading wolves go down, many more follow with force and determination. As those in the front fall and pile up, those behind take up their positions.
Meanwhile the Harvey Nichols "sale" ad called wolves created by Y&R Dubai won a Bronze Lion in Cannes this summer.

This module was built to fill the gap between simple $pages->find() operations and complex SQL queries.
The problem with $pages->find() is that it loads all pages into memory and that can be a problem when querying multiple thousands of pages. Even $pages->findMany() loads all pages into memory and therefore is a lot slower than regular SQL.
The problem with SQL on the other hand is, that the queries are quite complex to build. All fields are separate tables, some repeatable fields use multiple rows for their content that belong to only one single page, you always need to check for the page status (which is not necessary on regular find() operations and therefore nobody is used to that).
In short: It is far too much work to efficiently and easily get an array of data based on PW pages and fields and I need that a lot for my RockGrid module to build all kinds of tabular data.

Hello for all,
ConfigurationForm fieldtype module is one my experiment from 2016.
Main target to build this module was to store multiple setup and configuration values in just 1 field and avoid to use 1 db table to store just single "number of items on page", or another db table to store "layout type" etc. Thanks to JSON formatted storage this module can help you to reduce number of PW native fields in project, save DB space, and reduce number of queries at front-end.
Install and setup:
Download (at the bottom ), unzip and install like any other PW module (site/modules/...). Create some filed using this type of field (ConfigurationForm Fieldtype) Go to field setup Input tab and drag some subfields to container area (demo). Set "Name" and other params for subfields Save and place field to templates ("Action tab") How to use it:
In my case, I use it to store setup and configurations values, but also for contact details, small content blocks... (eg. "widgets").
Basic usage example:
ConfigForm fieldtype "setup" has subfields:
"limit", type select, option values: 5, 10, 15, 20
"sort", type select, option values: "-date", "date", "-sort", "sort"
// get page children (items) $limit = isset($page->setup->limit) ? $page->setup->limit : 10; $sort = isset($page->setup->sort) ? $page->setup->sort : '-sort'; $items = $page->children("limit=$limit, sort=$sort");
Provide option to search inside subfields Provide multilanguage inputs for text and textarea field types Provide option for different field layout per-template basis Do not place/use field type "Button" or "File input" because it won't works. Please read README file for more details and examples Module use JSON format to store values. Text and textarea field types are multilanguage compatible, but please note that main target for this module was to store setup values and small content blocks and save DB space. Search part inside JSON is still a relatively new in MySQL (>=5.77) and that's on you how and for what to use this module.
Initial point for this fieldtype was jQuery plugin FormBuiled and thanks to Kevin Chappel for this plugin.
In field type "link" I use javascript part from @marcostoll module and thanks to him for that part.
Edit: 14. August 2018. please delete/uninstall previously downloaded zip

Hi guys I'm relatively new to PW and just finished developing a page for a client. I was able to include all necessary functionality using the core fieldtypes but now I it seems that I need to extend them with a custom one. What I need is a simple button, that copies the absolute url (frontend not PW-backend) of the page which is currently edited to the clipboard. As this feature is only needed inside a specific template, I tend to use a custom fieldtype which provides this feature. I've been looking inside the core modules code (eg. FieldtypeCheckbox.module) but I don't really get the structure of it and how its rendered to the admin page. I also didn't find a lot of tutorials covering custom fieldtypes.
Maybe some of you could give me some tips on how to write a basic custom fieldtype that renders a button which copies the value of
page->httpUrl() to the clipboard using JS. Thanks!

Some of you might have followed the development of this module here: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/15524-previewdiscussion-rockdatatables/ . It is the successor of "RockDataTables" and requires RockFinder to get the data for the grid easily and efficiently. It uses the open source part of agGrid for grid rendering.
ProcessWire is awesome for creating all kinds of custom backend applications, but where it is not so awesome in my opinion is when it comes to listing this data. Of course we have the built in page lister and we have ListerPro, but none of that solutions is capable of properly displaying large amounts of data, for example lists of revenues, aggregations, quick and easy sorts by the user, instant filter and those kind of features. RockGrid to the rescue 😉
100k+ rows Instant (client side) filter, search, sort (different sort based on data type, eg "lower/greater than" for numbers, "contains" for strings) extendable via plugins (available plugins at the moment: fullscreen, csv export, reload, batch-processing of data, column sum/statistics, row selection) all the agGrid features (cell renderers, cell styling, pagination, column grouping etc) vanilla javascript, backend and frontend support (though not all plugins are working on the frontend yet and I don't plan to support it as long as I don't need it myself)
While there is an option to retrieve data via AJAX the actual processing of the grid (displaying, filtering, sorting) is done on the client side, meaning that you can get into troubles when handling really large datasets of several thousands of rows. agGrid should be one of the most performant grid options in the world (see the official example page with a 100k row example) and does a lot to prevent problems (such as virtual row rendering), but you should always have this limitation in mind as this is a major difference to the available lister options that do not have this limitation.
Currently it only supports AdminThemeUikit and I don't plan to support any other admin theme.

Support: Please note that this module might not be as easy and plug&play as many other modules. It needs a good understanding of agGrid (and JavaScript in general) and it likely needs some looks into the code to get all the options. Please understand that I can not provide free support for every request here in the forum. I try to answer all questions that might also help others or that might improve the module but for individual requests I offer paid support for 60€ per hour.

My Fringe Festival Knit Tops
Added Jul 19, 2013
by ferret-mom
Birmingham, Unit...
I found this free pattern on www.fabric.com – it is VERY easy & this is the description they give:
You'll rock this fabulous T-shirt, designed for lightweight fluid or drape-y t-shirting fabrics…think bamboo, modal, rayon or tencel knit blends, or even silk jersey. Pull-over, cap sleeved T-shirt has center front & back seams, a curved hemline and a self fabric scarf tie at the V neckline.
Fringe the ends of the scarf for a funky look, and add decorative stitches to the center front & back seams to really dial it up a notch… Wear this wardrobe essential over jeans or slouchy pants for a fabulous casual outfit, or try it as a layering piece under a slick suit jacket or a cozy cardigan
Material Notes
Depending on what fabric you use this pattern could suit any occassion.
I used a thin jersey fabric:.
I cut front & back on the fold but plan on trying the "decorative centre seams" at some point.
I also made the scarf with a double layer. Fabric was too thin for a single layer with fringe

education workshops OR a mix of both) as well as the dates &
times. WaterART helps to cross promote and be flexible to meet the
facilities needs. You choose the least disruptive time/date to schedule
the training as well as the most favorable time that your instructor
team may get together for the training. We will help you promote your
event and will even create the promotional flyers! We can take
registrations ( or you can) or both - whatever your facility demands. We
just ask that you have Professionals phone /email us if they have
questions about our programs. Generally, each person pays for their own registration.
However, if the facility prefers a flat rate or would like to pay for
the instructor team directly - we can make this option available.
Here are some things to think when Hosting an Onsite Training event at your facility
1) Make Training convenient for you & your Instructors Team (you choose the time(s)/dates that are most convenient and least disruptive to your membership
Your Staff receive our lowest WaterART Professional (WP) member rate
(early-bird or regular or depending on when they register) .
Facility may earn complimentary registrations (based on attendance 10-15
paid attendees) OR you may choose to add a per person facility fee
4) Facility chooses the program to meet their needs, interests and goals. We may combine a several workshops or workshops & full Certifications.
5) WaterART takes care of all questions and registrations ( phone, fax, mail, online) unless there is a facility preference
All WE NEED TO GET STARTED
1) Some possible dates (Everything is possible!)
2) Available Pool Times (shared but quiet)
3) Approximately how many of your instructors are interested at your facility
4) How many instructors/centers in your area so we may promote and to help offset the cost of travel for the Master Trainer.
5) Facility Host talks directly to Educational Director Please Email Us
Choose from either:
1) Full Certification Courses
2) Continuing Education Workshops (over 70 to choose from) 3) Educational Clinics for your Patrons 4) Master Classes (choose from any of the workshops sessions) For more information please contact Julie Twynham, Educational Director

Emmy Rossum was also in attendance at the 2017 Met Gala on Monday (May 1) in New York City.
Leave it to Emmy to bring the ultimate sense of mod yet refined elegance to the proceedings with this Carolina Herrera masterpiece.
I love how the whoosh of the extravagant flourish and train at the side elevated the minimalist spirit of the fusion look. From one side, it was a flowing white gown; from the other, a study in menswear-chic tailoring.
All together, it was a sleekly sophisticated moment with Emmy's low bun, sparkling jewels, and red lip only adding to the perfect style equation.

Winston-Salem/Forsyth County, with a population of more than 300,000 is located in the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina and enjoys a moderate climate and all 4 seasons.
Located at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, our city is called one of the top 10 most livable mid-sized cities in the U.S. (pop. 234,349) by Partners for Livable Communities, a national non-profit organization.
Newcomers to Winston-Salem enjoy its mild winters and moderate year-round climate. Located roughly halfway between Washington, DC and Atlanta, GA, the average annual rainfall is about 42 inches and snowfall accumulations are rare. You can take a look at the current local weather report courtesy of the Winston-Salem Journal.
Winston-Salem is home to several institutions of higher learning which offer excellent opportunities in education and add to the cultural richness of the city.
The first local Arts Council in America was chartered here in 1948. A city long noted for the arts, Winston-Salem offers residents and visitors many venues from which to choose, from traditional museums and galleries to the Downtown Arts District Association's (DADA) Gallery Hop on the first Friday of every month, as well as the annual performances of the Nutcracker at the Roger L. Stevens Center for the Performing Arts produced by UNCSA.
The Winston-Salem Symphony is one of the most accomplished local professional symphonies in the nation, and the community abounds with high-quality music, theater and dance performances. The city is also home to Piedmont Craftsmen, a guild of the most talented artisans in the Southeast.
Residents take advantage of the mild climate with recreation at more than 80 public parks. People of all ages can enjoy more than 100 tennis courts, 11 swimming pools, 12 golf courses and 17 general recreation centers. The county's largest recreational area is Tanglewood Park, with 1,100 acres of scenic countryside and an arboretum, only 10 minutes from downtown. The park has two 18-hole championship golf courses (the site of the Vantage Senior Golf Tournament), an annual steeplechase, tennis courts, picnic areas and places for horseback riding, camping, boating and fishing. Hanes Park, which is located only 2 blocks from The Medical Center, has the city's largest tennis complex and a paved track and playing fields.
Winston-Salem has a rich history of fostering successful entrepreneurial endeavors. Many familiar companies such as R.J. Reynolds Tobacco, Krispy Kreme, Hanes Corporation (a division of Sara Lee Corporation), Piedmont Airlines (now US Airways), Wachovia Bank, Targacept, and BB&T have origins in Winston-Salem, and many continue to call Winston-Salem home.
Today, medical care and biomedical research are the leading employers in Winston-Salem and Forsyth County, with a total workforce approaching 25,000.
Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center is the largest employer in the Piedmont Triad (a 12-county region encompassing Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and High Point).
The burgeoning Wake Forest Innovation Quarter in downtown Winston-Salem, covers about 200 acres, and, at maturity in 20-25 years, is expected to include up to 5 million square feet of laboratory, office, and mixed-use space and provide up to 30,000 new jobs for the region.
Salem, founded by the Moravians in 1766, was one of the earliest planned communities in the colonies. The early Moravians, a protestant denomination from Germany, believed in hard work and fostered appreciation for the arts, music, and quality craftsmanship.
The nearby town of Winston was founded in 1849 as an industrial tobacco and textile community.
Winston reaped the benefits of the Moravian values and sharing attitudes. The 2 communities voted to merge in 1913, creating the Twin City of Winston-Salem.
Today Old Salem, the restored town of Salem, contains historical 18th-century buildings and the nation's largest museum of furniture and early Southern decorative art. Old Salem attracts thousands of visitors and tourists annually from near and far.

Proving that she doesn't need to twerk to deliver a buzzworthy performance, Miley Cyrus more than held her own as host and musical guest of this weekend's "Saturday Night Live."
"Now that white people are doing it, it seems kind of lame," the 20-year-old "Wrecking Ball" singer said in her opening monologue, vowing not to twerk or reference Hannah Montana during the episode.
Cyrus also refused to apologized for her raunchy VMAs duet with Robin Thicke.
"If I owe anyone apology, it's the people who make the bottom half of shirts," she said.
Not only did Cyrus star in the show's cold open -- when she's warned that her VMAs performance will spell the end of America -- she also impersonated Scarlett Johansson auditioning for "50 Shades of Grey."
But it's her portrayal of an overly sexual, tongue-wagging Michele Bachmann that stood out most. In a pre-taped video, Cyrus' Bachmann gyrated alongside Taran Killam's John Boehner to a politics-themed parody of her single "We Can't Stop," titled "We Did Stop (The Government).
"It's our party, we can stop what we want, we can vote how we want, defund what we want," she sang.
Cyrus last hosted "SNL" in 2011.

While back at Scott Base there is some work to do at Discovery Hut, Hut Point, McMurdo Sound. Discovery Hut was built in 1902 by Captain Scott's party. It was designed by Professor Gregory and prefabricated by James Moore before being brought south by ship. It's almost square with a veranda running around three sides. Unfortunately, although the walls were insulated with felt, it was still very cold and very difficult to keep warm. This led to the ship, (Discovery) moored approx. one kilometre away being used for the first year as living quarters and the hut being used predominately as a large store room. During the second year, occasionally a party would sleep inside, but no bunks or permanent sleeping quarters were ever erected.

Vince's Cross, Hut Point © AHT/Karen
On the hill behind Discovery Hut, a cross was erected in 1904 to the memory of George Vince who returning to the hut in a blizzard in 1902, slipped over an ice precipice to his death.
Martin surveying the internal windows © AHT/Karen
The Trust is planning to start conservation work on Discovery Hut during the Antarctic summer of 2013/14. This season, one of the tasks on the work list, was for Martin and I to survey the external and internal windows in order for them to be conserved next season. Conserving these windows will help stop snow from entering the building and causing further damage. It only takes one small crack somewhere in the hut to allow snow to enter, and very quickly you have a huge pile of snow. There is a lot of work to be completed before the hut is secure and weather tight.

Butler coach Brad Stevens is only 36 and already has led the Bulldogs to back-to-back NCAA championship games and to 150 wins overall.
He already holds records for wins by a college coach in his first three, four and five seasons. And with 25 wins this year -- a near lock with 18 regular-season games remaining plus the Atlantic 10 Tournament and NCAAs -- he'll set the record for most wins in a coach's first six seasons with 164.
He's the likely guy to join Mike Krzyzewski, Jim Boeheim and Bob Knight in the 900-win club some day, right?
"No shot. No shot. No shot," Stevens told the Indianapolis Star this week. "I'm not much into guarantees, but I guarantee that I will not get to 900."
For the record, the record for most wins is a moving target. Krzyzewski, 65, is at 940 victories and counting. With Duke ranked No. 1 in the country, the record almost certainly will be north of 960 by springtime.
Stevens is not the only big-time coach who figures to be fishing instead of recruiting when he's in his golden years. Krzyzewski this summer told Sports Illustrated that he would think Kansas' Bill Self -- who just turned 50 and has 487 career wins -- is the most likely candidate to surpass him someday. Still, Self says he isn't shooting for the 900 milestone, let alone Krzyzewski's record.
"Zero," Self told the Kansas City Star. "Whoever wrote that doesn't know me very well. I don't think that I'll want to coach near that long."

Suppression of naturally occurring blazes may increase wildfire risk
Penn State geographer Alan Taylor studied a mixed conifer forest in the Lassen National Forest in northern California known as the Cub Creek Research Natural Area, site of a wildfire in 2008. He compared burn patterns from the 1880s, before fire suppression policy took effect, with those from the 2008 fire. Taylor analyzed satellite data and field measurements using a statistical model known as "Random Forest," which predicts fire severity patterns based on characteristics of the terrain, fuels, vegetation, and weather. He found that, in general, the burning patterns were similar but with one important difference.

Be careful, Neanderthals still roam the Earth
Last year I made some tongue-in-cheek, snide remarks after Black Friday, comparing some of the people who hit the stores that day to cattle on a dairy farm, being herded in and out of doors and aisles, with little regard for the people around them, as trampling deaths are always reported the day after Thanksgiving.
So before storming the stores this year, here's a tip – watch out for Neanderthals, as not all people out there are fully developed or socially functional!
No doubt as you sprint to the electronics section, hoping to get a killer deal on the gadget du jour, a half-ape, half-man could possibly pounce out of an unseen crevasse waiting with his elk-leg club to defeat anyone on a similar mission. However, if you carry a lighter, these mouth-breathers will no doubt be amazed by the "magic fire stick" and relent to your wishes.
Another word from the wise – bring lots of lubrication with you. There will be a lot of tight spots around, with hundreds of living dead seemingly stationary, as if by standing in one spot, the gifts they want to buy will come to them. Apparently these folks are confused about the difference of online shopping and actually shopping, and are caught in some sort of limbo.
Believe it or not, this is a good thing for a motivated shopper in a competitive environment, as you don't need to worry about these zombies tackling you right as you grab the latest Elmo or a $2 Dolce and Gabanna blouse. Which is why your lubrication should be unscented. Too strong a fragrance, or the ever-popular slippage-inducer butter, may cause them to snap out of the trance. Of course, many of these folks, if they catch a whiff of the butter, may grow hungry. And we all know the undead feed on human brains!
Alright, so we're prepared for the half-lifes, and slipping around the zombies, but there is one Black Friday threat that is yet to be addressed, and is often the last and most difficult obstacle to get around when shopping.
This would be the incompetent.
And often times you never run into them, but every once in a while, you meet them. They work at the checkout counter.
Most of the people at the counters realize that they are dealing with very stressful shoppers who want nothing more than to get back out of the store, away from the aforementioned beings, and kiss the littered sidewalks and breathe in the fresh smell of exhaust and burning fossil fuels. The clerks at these counters give you a friendly greeting and then get to quickly scanning your items, bagging them, and you are on your way.
But, yes there's a "but," there is an approximately 1 in 10 chance you will run into the incompetent clerk. They can be identified by not being able to find the UPC code, dropping your things, sighing heavily numerous times while moving slowly and saying "What the heck?" over and over again. No doubt they will have to make a call over the intra-store phone system, paging possibly the oldest living person in the world to come help them with their register. They won't know how to process a check, count change without their fingers and a square-foot Texas Instruments calculator, and will push the "finalize sale" button at the same exact time you push enter on the credit card pad, meaning it won't go through and the process will start all over again.
My advice for dealing with them?
Pick up your cell phone and just look at the screen. Then exclaim "I got a text about my family! Emergency! Please hurry! I have to go! Please … hurry! How much longer?! My children! Hurry! COME ON LET'S GO! HAVE YOU NO HUMANITY?"
Of course, you will be lying, which is bad, but sometimes you have to sink to their level. Now, remember, this will in no way speed this person up or suddenly make them competent, but at least it will make them feel bad.
So there you have it. The common sense guide to Black Friday. Now get out there and spend!

Google and Microsoft sued over interwebs street maps
Patent attacks Street View. And Street View knockoff
A tiny Louisiana-based company has accused Microsoft, Google, and AOL of infringing on its 3D imaging patents in their various street mapping efforts.
According to TG Daily, Transcenic claims that Google's Street View, Microsoft's StreetSide, and AOL's Mapquest infringes on its patent describing a system for "spatial referenced photographic system with navigation arrangement". The patent was filed in 2000 and granted in 2006.
Microsoft and Google declined to comment on the case.
Earlier this year, Microsoft and Google teamed up to sue a tiny company called GeoTag that has gone after more than 300 customers of Google and Bing Maps. GeoTag claimed that the customers had infringed on a patent it owns for using mapping services to create store locators.
Microsoft and Google want the court to rule their customers do not infringe on the patent. You can see a summary of the case, here. ®

Select Year
Four items today, following a
note, a correction and a humorous error from NBC's Today:
-- To better track these
CyberAlerts, as of today I've begun to put a number at the top. Today's is
the 103rd e-mail.
-- Yesterday I corrected my
spelling of U.S. Rep. Helen Chenoweth. I should have left well enough
alone. In making that correction, I mistakenly moved her to Iowa. She's
from Idaho.
-- Speaking of errors, here's
Today news anchor Matt Lauer during the 7am news Monday morning: "The
next to last Monday of the presidential campaign finds Bob Dole in
Southern California and Bill Clinton in St. Louis. In Virginia Sunday the
President campaigned with Senator Chuck Robb, who's involved in a very
tough re-election battle."
That must be news to Robb. He
beat Oliver North two years ago. He's not up for re-election until 2000.
1) None of the
broadcast networks on Monday night reported anything about the latest on
the John Huang front. But on MSNBC a reporter noted that the Clinton team
believes it's too late for Huang to hurt them. That might explain why DNC
Chairman Chris Dodd felt comfortable enough Monday morning to joke with
Don Imus that he can't tell the truth about DNC fundraising until after
the election.
2) The ABC, CBS and
NBC evening shows Monday downplayed the campaign. None aired any story
from a reporter in the field. Instead, each had the anchor introduce
soundbites from Clinton and Dole. But in so doing, Dan Rather forwarded
the liberal definition of what affirmative action means.
3) The latest
figures from the Center for Media and Public Affairs' ongoing tracking of
positive and negative coverage shows that Dole's complaints about liberal
bias may have some merit -- his policies have received many more negative
comments than have Clinton's policies. And just eight percent of
evaluations touched on Clinton's character.
4) The October
MediaWatch study detailing how, during late September and early October,
the networks ignored or virtually ignored a series of developments and
revelations about Clinton scandals
ABC's World News Tonight, CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News all failed
to mention John Huang Monday night October 28, though there was a
development. On MSNBC's The News with Brian Williams, reporter Jim
Miklaszewski noted in his story on Clinton's day:
"Today a U.S. District judget ordered DNC
fundraiser John Huang to give a videotaped deposition tomorrow in a civil
lawsuit. Huang had been avoiding a court subpoena, but Clinton advisers
report the White House pressured the DNC to force Huang to cooperate,
confident that anything Huang said now would likely have little or no
impact on the election just a week and a day away."
Especially when it's ignored by the broadcast networks. William Adams of
Talk Daily, a faxed digest of leading radio talk shows, passed along some
interesting comments that Chris Dodd made on Monday's Don Imus radio show.
Dodd said: "Eight more days and I can start telling you the truth
again [laughter] It's killing me, I'll tell you. I gotta lie [through] my
teeth to you every time I come on this show."
Concluding the interview, Imus stated:
"Senator Dodd, I'm sure we'll talk to you throughout the next"
[Dodd jumps in before Imus finishes]
Dodd: "When I can start telling the
Imus, continuing: "two or three years during
the impeachment proceedings and stuff."
Here's how Dan Rather on Monday night (October 28) introduced a soundbite
from Bob Dole explaining his support for the California Civil Rights
Initiative: "This is the final full week of the presidential
campaign. Bob Dole campaigned in California, a state that is absolutely
must-win for him. Dole opened up a new, more aggressive line of attack
against affirmative action programs designed to fight discriminaton
against women and minorities."
The Center for Media and Public Affairs counts the number of positive and
negative statements aired in campaign stories by the three broadcast
network evening shows. Their latest numbers, covering May 15 to September
"Ever since he left the Senate to campaign full-time, Mr. Dole has
been heavily criticized for his economic policies (81% negative), his
social policies (78% negative), and his conduct as a candidate (81%
"Since Labor Day...the gap between the two men's media images has
widened -- 54 percent good press for Clinton vs. only 30 percent good
press for Dole. (We calculate good press by tallying every positive or
negative evaluation of a candidate's record, policies, personal character
and behavior on the campaign trail. Our tallies include all on-air
opinions expressed by reporters and sources who are not affiliated with a
candidate or party. 'Good press' does NOT include any opinions about a
candidate's prospects in the horse race, which we tally separately.)"
"In September, fully 91 percent of sources said the economy was
healthy....In September 1992, 98 percent of all sources on the evening
news criticized the state of the economy."
"Mr. Clinton received mostly bad press on the 'character issue' (74
percent negative)....But discussions of the President's character amounted
to only eight percent of all evaluations of him, while more than half
(54%) focusd on his conduct as President or his stands on specific policy
issues. And the majority of those judgments have been favorable."

Revelation After Revelation
Reported by Newspapers, But Never Make TV News Networks Blackout Clinton's
Bad News On September 26, the House ethics committee announced it would
expand an investigation of Speaker Newt Gingrich's college course
"Renewing American Civilization." ABC, CBS, CNN and NBC reported
the story, ultimately adding up to eleven broadcast network morning and
evening segments in five days.
The next morning, NBC's Today led
off with an interview with NBC Washington Bureau Chief Tim Russert, who
proclaimed: "It's awful, it's serious, it's potentially
devastating." On October 8, Today's Matt Lauer asked Gingrich six
questions about ethics, including two about whether Gingrich would resign.
But a MediaWatch review of recent scoops on the Clinton administration's
character shows a much different approach to stories which could damage
September 23: The Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation's inspector general concluded that Hillary Clinton
had drafted a real estate document with the intent to "deceive"
federal regulators. That real estate transaction, a sham deal selling a
property named Castle Grande to a straw buyer, later cost taxpayers $4
million in the bailout of Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan.
The Washington Post put the news
on its September 24 front page. Network coverage? Nothing -- until October
4, when NBC's Jim Miklaszewski mentioned it in a Nightly News story on a
speech by independent counsel Ken Starr: "Whitewater prosecutor
Kenneth Starr was invited to appear by outspoken Clinton critic Pat
Robertson and the audience was very conservative. The White House claims
that's proof Starr is out to get Clinton for political reasons, but Starr
says he'll stay the course." (ABC and CNN did report the story last
February 29, when the FDIC released a more favorable assessment,
recommending the FDIC not seek legal recourse against Mrs. Clinton or the
Rose Law Firm.)
September 24: A House committee
held hearings on charges that the administration has let criminals become
citizens. The Washington Times story the next day began: "Immigration
workers yesterday told a House Government Reform and Oversight
subcommittee of rampant abuses in the Citizenship USA program that
apparently let thousands of immigrants with criminal records become
citizens." The networks? Zilch until the October 18 CBS Evening News.
Also on September 24, a federal
jury convicted Sun Diamond Growers, one of the nation's largest producers
of fruits and nuts, of illegally showering former Clinton Agriculture
Secretary Mike Espy with nearly $6,000 in gifts, a conviction for
Independent Counsel Donald Smaltz. The story made The Washington Post
front page the next day. Network coverage? Nothing, but The NewsHour with
Jim Lehrer on PBS did a brief anchor-read item.
September 25: Sen. Orrin Hatch
revealed a six-month gap in the log which listed who at the White House
was accessing FBI background files on Republican White House employees.
The Washington Times bannered the news across page one the next day.
Coverage? A CNN World Today story and a mention on ABC's Good Morning
Also on the 25th, the Times
reported that Rep. John Mica (R.-Fla.) sent a letter to Clinton's
"drug czar" demanding release of a four-month-old Institute for
Defense Analysis report that concluded Bush's interdiction policy was far
more effective than Clinton's emphasis on drug treatment. Network
coverage? Nothing until a story by David Martin on the October 15 CBS
Evening News.
September 26: Three days after
President Clinton refused to rule out pardons for Whitewater figures on
The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, 170 members of Congress, including three
Democrats, sent a letter to the White House demanding Clinton promise not
to pardon anyone. The September 29 Washington Times reported that House
Democrats were prepared to shut down the government if Republicans
demanded a vote on a resolution calling for President Clinton to renounce
pardons. Network coverage? With the exception of one general question on
the 29th about pardons from CBS Evening News Sunday anchor John Roberts to
commentator Laura Ingraham, absolutely nothing until Dole raised the
subject later.
October 1: The White House
claimed executive privilege to withhold from House investigators a memo to
President Clinton from FBI Director Louis Freeh said to be highly critical
of federal drug policy. Network response? Zero.
October 4: Sen. Orrin Hatch
released the deposition of White House aide Mari Anderson before the
Senate Judiciary Committee. Anderson verified that pages of the log used
to record the taking of FBI files were missing. Anderson also asserted, in
contradiction to White House aide Craig Livingstone's assurances, that he
knew they were procuring the FBI files of Republicans. Even The Washington
Post put this story on its front page the next day. Network coverage? Only
CNN, in two Linden Soles anchor-briefs on The World Today, mentioned the
news. (ABC's World News Tonight didn't report it, but the revelations were
raised in an interview on the October 6 This Week.)
Also on October 4, former FBI
Special Agent Dennis Sculimbrene, who was the senior agent assigned to the
White House from 1986 to April 1996, told The Wall Street Journal:
"There were senior people as well, senior aides and advisers to the
President who used drugs recently -- people in policy positions, or say,
the director of an office...Some senior people even said they had used
drugs as recently as the Inaugural." Sculimbrene estimated that
"about 25 percent of the incoming administration, about one out of
four cases, had a problem with illegal drugs. Not just casual
experimentation, but a pattern of usage." Network coverage? Zero.
October 10: A House panel
investigating the Clinton administration's secret foreign policy
initiative to encourage the Iranian government to arm the Bosnian Muslims
asked the Justice Department to probe administration officials for
possible criminal charges for false statements. Since the Iran-Bosnia
secret foreign policy emerged in the Los Angeles Times April 5, CBS and
NBC have aired absolutely nothing on the evening news about the story. CNN
and ABC aired only anchor briefs, only in the first days of the story.
Network coverage for the latest development? Zero.
On CNN's Crossfire Sept. 20,
Chicago Tribune reporter Ellen Warren declared: "Reporters want
nothing more, this year and four years ago, to have a horse race. That's
what we're in love with, is the fight, the close call....So it's in our
interest to make it look close, to make Bob Dole look good."
The omissions documented here
suggest otherwise.

Activists warn of immigrants inflow
A Romanian or Bulgarian family-of-four would be eight or nine times better off if they were to move to Britain when access restrictions are lifted at the end of the year, immigration campaigners claim.
A Bulgarian family - made up of one individual on minimum wage with a dependent spouse and two children - has a weekly income of £62 at home, compared to the £543 they could pocket in the UK, while Romanian families earn around £70 a week.%VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%
Elsewhere, single workers from the Eastern European countries would be four of five times better off, the study by Migration Watch UK found.
And a comparison with the conditions Polish workers enjoy in Britain showed that the economic incentives for Romanian and Bulgarian workers were twice as great.
Migration Watch UK chairman Sir Andrew Green said: "The wage differences turn out be simply stunning.
"The previous government made a huge mistake by agreeing to accession treaties that granted full access to our labour market to workers from countries that have only fifth of our GDP per head.
"Given that the economic incentives for Romanian and Bulgarian workers are twice those now enjoyed by Polish workers, it would be absurd to suggest that there will not be a significant inflow."
Temporary curbs were imposed on Romanians and Bulgarians in 2005 to protect the British labour market, but they expire in December and under EU laws cannot be extended.
The Government has refused to provide an estimate on the number of Romanians or Bulgarians it expects to arrive in Britain, but Migration Watch previously said it could be up to 50,000 a year for the first five years.
Leading politicians from Bulgaria and Romania have dismissed fears that the change in access restrictions will trigger a wave of immigration to the UK.

Jewish World Review March 30, 2012/ 7 Nissan, 5772
Leno KOs Romney
By Roger Simon
He was on the set of "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno," his first late-night TV appearance ever.
The "Tonight Show" is a good venue for politicians — Bill Clinton played the saxophone for Johnny Carson in 1988 — and Leno appears to be a moderate Republican. He was a strong backer of Arnold Schwarzenegger for governor and appeared next to him on the podium at Schwarzenegger's massive and raucous victory party.
So Romney had nothing to be worried about. Yet he sat there, rigidly folded into his seat as if each part of his body was connected by steel rods. He seemed to be about as relaxed as a death row prisoner waiting for the gas pellets to drop.
But why? Leno would be the first to admit he is not the most rigorous interviewer on TV. This was not "60 Minutes." Steve Kroft was not going to pop out of a bush and ask Romney if he stole his neighbor's car (or limo) when he was 16.
Leno's idea of an ambush interview is to go out onto the streets near his studio and ask people if they know who is buried in Grant's Tomb. (If you said Hugh Grant, deduct 5 points.)
The worst that Leno — a car nut, with a vast collection — could possibly do was ask Romney about the $12 million expansion of his La Jolla beachfront home, which will include a "car elevator," which was first reported by Politico and became the subject of endless jabs on Twitter.
In a political era where everything is treated as significant (though little is really important), the Obama campaign had already jumped on the story, pointing out that Romney had hired a lawyer and paid him $21,500 to pave the way with city officials for the necessary permits.
Democratic National Committee spokesman Brad Woodhouse had chortled via e-mail (if it is possible to chortle via e-mail): "Well, doesn't everyone need an elevator for their cars? Even if you have to hire a lobbyist to secure it?"
And while Romney certainly has positive qualities, he lacks man-of-the-people credentials. He often brings to mind the delightfully wicked phrase that former Texas Gov. Ann Richards once used to describe George H.W. Bush: "He was born with a silver foot in his mouth."
Romney has talked about how his wife has bicoastal Cadillacs, and he brags about being pals with NASCAR and NFL team owners.
So you could understand how Romney might be a little nervous if he was sitting on a set waiting for David Gregory or Bob Schieffer or George Stephanopoulos to finish shuffling their papers and look up at him to begin the show.
But this was Jay Leno! And how bad could a Jay Leno interview really be?
Leno begins with softballs, asking Romney whom he wants for his vice president. Romney says he hasn't thought about it yet, and Leno is disbelieving and asks him again, and Romney grows a little irritated (or a little clever, which is even worse) and says: "I can do you a favor with this. I'll choose David Letterman, help us both out."
By which means Romney means that he will help Leno out by removing his late-night rival.
But, as any watcher of late night TV would know (and Romney probably goes to bed at least two hours before late night TV begins), Leno and Letterman loathe each other, and Leno looks forward to Letterman references as much as he looks forward to pellagra.
(And the very next night, Letterman will say on the air: "Mitt Romney was a guest on the 'Tonight Show.' You had an empty suit trying to please everyone. And then Romney came out.")
But it gets worse. To show his political creds, Leno presses Romney lightly on wanting to do away with Barack Obama's health care plan, especially the provision that would force insurance companies to insure people even if they have pre-existing medical conditions.
Even though Romney has talked about this endlessly on the campaign trail, he now seems to dither a bit — perhaps it is the adrenaline crashing through his system or the flop sweat gathering beneath his hair — and he says he would continue to insure people with pre-existing conditions as long as "they had been continuously insured."
Even Leno can recognize a loophole big enough to drive a 16-wheeler through, and he asks Romney about factory workers who never have had insurance and then get sick and need it.
And Romney unloosens just enough to stick that silver foot in his mouth.
"As long as you have been continuously insured, you ought to be able to get insurance going forward," Romney says. But only if you have been "continuously insured."
"If they are 45 years old and they show up and say I want insurance because I have heart disease, it's like, hey, guys — we can't play the game like that!" Romney says triumphantly.
So maybe he should have gone on "Meet the Press" or "Face the Nation" or "This Week," instead.
Because Romney has just delivered a really grand message to the electorate:
Hey, you greedy and unlucky people with heart disease! Who the hell do you think you are — Dick Cheney?

One of the problems with exponential growth in a finite space is that you quickly run out of room. If this rate of increase in energy consumption continues, in a few years we'll be straining at the limits of the energy
nike air max 1 london grey suede sneakers
It needn't necessarily mean the apocalypse for us or for cryptocurrencies. air jordan retro calendar 2016 august a8zPruHdQd
to create a less energy-intensive blockchain. Still others argue that the 35 TWh figure, based on a single analysis, is too high, but nike roshe flyknit green uk caterpillars qGMGR
Apocalypse aside, though, the energy use required by Bitcoin still seems so wasteful.
The distributed computing power of the blockchain computing network is now far, far in excess of that of the world's top supercomputers ; by some estimates, hundreds of thousands of times more powerful. Technically speaking, the bitcoin mining network's calculations are optimized for "hashing"—integer calculations that aren't general-purpose floating point operations—but however you slice it, it's an extraordinary amount of hardware, power consumption, and potential.
The SHA-256 algorithm that bitcoin miners use is designed to be hard to crack , to prevent any individual from gaining centralized control of the ledger. But the result is that it is terribly wasteful. Emin Gün Sirer, who studies cryptocurrencies at Cornell University, says that it has to be this way: "It's perverse. Had bitcoin been mined by doing something useful, then there would be a correspondence between useful work and the number of bitcoins you get… That creates a mental anchor point in people's mind for how much a bitcoin should cost."
There were some suggestions, like PrimeCoin , that would use its blockchain computing power to calculate chains of prime numbers, or Permacoin (PDF), that also asked for storage space to create data archives. The sad reality is that none of these coins are likely to harness anything close to the computing power dedicated to Bitcoin.
Naturally, I wish that things had transpired such that the computing power had been devoted—at least in part—to science. There have been extraordinary citizen science successes, such as climate@home, SETI@home, and Fold.it which take advantage of idle computing power from the users, as well as idle processing power in our brains in some cases .
Patient Login
Stop Suffering. Start Living.
As women and men approach mid-life, many often wonder whether or not
buy nike air force 1 foamposite kobe dSSFG
is the right option for them. Countless studies have shown that traditional (synthetic) hormone therapy can increase the likelihood of various types of cancer and heart disease. However, many are now taking a natural approach to hormone balance with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy ().
With natural bioidentical hormones, women and men can find relief from symptoms of hormonal imbalance without the risks that come along with synthetic hormones.
Bioidentical hormones - or bio identical hormones - are derived from naturally occurring sources, such as yams and soy, and are designed to replicate the same chemical structure as the hormones that are produced naturally by our bodies. Based on your hormone levels, a specialized compounding pharmacy can individually tailor a bioidentical hormone regimen specifically designed for you.
On the flip side, synthetic hormones are intentionally different. Pharmaceutical companies can't patent bioidentical hormones because each regimen is specifically formulated to treat each patient on an individual basis. Instead, they manufacture synthetic hormones that are patentable.
Bioidentical hormones are more appealing to the masses when dealing with menopause or andropause because they are derived naturally and our bodies can metabolize them properly. Another advantage of using bioidentical hormones is that they are specifically designed to match your individual hormonal needs - unlike synthetic hormones, which use a one-size-fits-all approach to symptom relief.
There is an overwhelmingly large body of evidence that supports the claim that bioidentical hormone therapy is safer and more effective than synthetic hormone replacement. However, it's important to remember that no drug, supplement or herb is 100 percent safe - there is always a chance that you may experience an adverse reaction. That's why it's critical for women and men to consult with a hormone specialist before beginning any hormone therapy regimen, to safe-guard themselves from side effects.
At BodyLogicMD, our goal is to help women and men live the best life possible. Remember: the human body is resilient. When you give your body the attention and support it needs, you'll look better and feel better because of it. BodyLogicMD affiliated physicians don't rely solely on bioidentical hormones to restore your overall health.

I'm pretty pumped for this fight. I'm actually going to buy it over, umm, yeah.
At least Alvarez is a legit fighter; not a Bradley or Chavez Jr. Mayweather will most likely win, but I think Canelo's size may allow him to wear Floyd down enough to open him up for a shot or two. If he lands a power shot, maybe he can do something?

Rich and fudgy brownies speckled with chocolate chips, walnuts and fat-free Greek yogurt instead of butter. They have all the decadence of their full-fat counterparts without the pudge.
Greek yogurt is a miracle worker making these dense and fudgy almost in the same way butter works. The yogurt gives them a slightly different texture that I like even more than the buttery version. The fudgy centers are smooth and creamy – almost silky – while still retaining the denseness I enjoy in a brownie. They have great chocolate flavor with a subtle tanginess from the yogurt.
I should tell you I'm a die-hard brownie fan. They're my dessert of choice and they have to be fudgy. I won't touch a cakey brownie with a ten-foot pole. So when I say I don't see a reason to ever go back to butter-laden brownies because these were just as satisfying to my raging sweet tooth. . . that's pretty serious stuff.
I'll be reaching for the Greek yogurt every time I make brownies. From now until eternity.
No-pudge Greek yogurt brownies? I love you.
Rich, dense fudgy brownies speckled with chocolate chips, walnuts and fat-free Greek yogurt instead of butter.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8x8x2-inch baking pan with parchment paper leaving the sides overhanging or butter and flour.
- In a large bowl whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together.
- In a microwave safe bowl melt 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips using the chocolate setting of your microwave in 20 second increments, stirring in between until smooth and melted. Whisk in the sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla and yogurt.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix in 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup white chocolate chips and walnuts.
- Pour the batter into the pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup semisweet and 1/4 cup white chocolate chips over top. Bake 28 - 32 minutes or until a toothpick in center comes out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Cool in pan on wire racks. Lift using the parchment to a cutting board and cut into squares with a sharp chef's knife or paring knife, wiping clean after each cut.
- Store tightly covered in a cool, dry place.
