Tornado Quest Science Links And More For January 3 – 13, 2017
Greetings everyone! This has been a wild weather week across much of the western USA with California getting tons of snow, more than enough rainfall to put a dent in much of the drought stricken areas, and even an EF-0 tornado near Sacramento. Much of the midwest is bracing for an ice storm and, as of this date (13 January 2017) Ice Storm Warnings are in effect from the northeast Texas panhandle across Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and even into west-central Illinois. As usual, there's a plethora of other topics to cover. On a personal level, it's been a "full dance card" week for me with many projects that led me to delay this week's post. On that note, let's get started…
For your consideration, here are this week's links…
Excellent read from American Scientist magazine on nurturing scientific literacy among the general public. What is meant by 'scientific literacy?'
Here's a fascinating story of a man who, in search of a quiet existence in a remote area, inadvertently had a significant effect on climate change science.
A very cool astronomy read about researchers getting the first look at a very rare kind of galaxy.
A recent study found evidence that the Earth's moon is older than scientists thought…millions of years earlier than previously believed.
An idea that, for the sake of our future generations, should come to fruition. "How To Save $23 Trillion Per Year: 100% Renewable Energy For The World."
Good advice to get the new year started off right. "All too often environmentalism is about stopping doing something, but maybe it's time to be more active and start doing something instead?"
As of late, the air pollution in China has literally become lethal in nature. This article explains why their air pollution is on the rise again.
China isn't the only country struggling with severe air pollution problems. Just five days into 2017, London has breached its annual air pollution limit.
Those of us in Oklahoma know all too well what Trump's EPA nominee Scott Pruitt is capable of. Now, the rest of the country has the chance to find out for themselves.
An interesting read on a study that says the frequency of large-scale tornado outbreaks is increasing in the USA, particularly when it comes to the most extreme events. A link to the original study is included.
Tornadoes in California? You bet. On 10 January 2017, the Sacramento area was visited by an EF-0 tornado.
The latest US Drought Monitor shows over 20% of the contiguous USA is experiencing drought conditions. Recent rain and snowfall throughout the southern states should provide relief that will be evident on the next Drought Monitor.
There's often a great deal of confusion about winter weather advisories, watches, and warnings. This NWS infographic has got you covered.
Are you prepared for an ice storm? If you're in the areas under an Ice Storm Warning, all the preparations in this info-graphic (courtesy of the St. Louis, MO National Weather Service) should be rushed to completion.
While it may sound bizarre, you can have a blizzard even when it's not snowing.
In 2016, a total of 121 flood related deaths occurred in the USA. This map from the National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center gives a state-by-state breakdown. High death tolls in West Virginia were due to June floods, Texas deaths from flooding in late May.
Just when you thought the new year couldn't get off to a more bizarre start. "House Science Committee's Twitter Account Is Now Just Another Climate Science Denial Troll."
While not necessarily representative of the whole of American society, this survey gives an informative 'snapshot' of the daunting challenges atmospheric scientists are up against when trying to convey climate science to the general public.
Another challenge is conveying the risk of climate change to the public. A recent World Economic Forum report ranks climate change and associated environmental factors as the greatest risk facing humanity.
Here's a disconcerting 'must-read' on the anti-science crusade that continues to build steam in the USA. "The Congressional Attack On Science."
A concise overview from the Capital Weather Gang of ten extreme weather events outside of the USA that killed thousands and cost untold billions during 2016.
In the Antarctic, an ice shelf is breaking up from the inside out. The ice shelf is bigger than New York's Long Island and when it breaks off, it could result in global sea level rise that threatens many large cities close to the world's coasts.
Last but not least, when asked about death and the 'afterlife,' astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson gives a spot on answer that is particularly enlightening.
That's a wrap for this post! I'd like to welcome all my new followers in social media. I'm glad you're along for the fun!

Tornado Quest Science Links And Much More For December 12 – 20, 2016
Greetings everyone! For those of you across North America, I hope you're managing to stay warm during the current cold snap. It certainly adds a bit of 'zing' to the holiday season. Speaking of the holidays, this post and the following two will be on the brief side. It's a crazy, busy time of year for many of us and I'm no exception. Still, there are important topics to keep abreast of, so let's get started.
For your consideration, here are this week's links…
A wide variety of science fields are covered in this particular retrospective on the twelve key science moments of 2016.
What's the best way to communicate scientific concepts that are often very complex to the general public? "It turns out that even in the world of scientific writing, your eighth-grade teacher was right: how you write can matter as much as what you write."
Exciting news for astronomy fans. The world's largest digital survey of the visible Universe, mapping billions of stars and galaxies, has been publicly released.
When the air quality in a city is so bad that airline traffic is cancelled, you know it's air that is literally lethal to breathe.
Here's an excellent read and infographic on reducing your plastic pollution. The plastics that are part of many life saving items aren't the problem, it's the "daily plastics" that aren't always necessary and so easily discarded that are the challenge.
The Oklahoma Oil and Gas Association has released a "fact" sheet on waste water injection/fracking and it's relation to the recent and dramatic increase of earthquakes in the Sooner State. For reasons that are blatantly obvious, they're not taking responsibility for their actions. This is public relations cherry-picking at its best.
An unsettling read from Climate Central: Scientists Are Saving Climate Data; This Is Why It Matters. "In recent days, efforts have sprung up to archive climate data on federal sites. They've been spurred by fears that the Trump administration could take a hostile stance toward climate science and that budget cuts could make data less accessible."
A very unsettling essay by climate scientist Michael E. Mann that is a "must read" for anyone interested in the atmospheric sciences. "I'm A Scientist Who Has Gotten Death Threats. I Fear What May Happen Under Trump."
Here's a look at NOAA's global State Of The Climate report for November, 2016. First, let's take a look at selected climate anomalies and events.
Here's the global temperature trends for November. While much of North America was quite above normal, parts of Europe and Asia were unseasonably cool.
After a very warm November in North America, 2016 had to get one last cold shot in before year's end. Watching it take place across surface observations (especially the Oklahoma Mesonet) was quite a sight.
Finally, a rather impertinent view of the never-to-be-settled-argument on school closings and winter weather. In this game, you just can't win, even when erring on the side of justifiable caution.

Tornado Quest Science Links And Much More For February 29 – March 7, 2016
Greeting all! For my followers in the Northern Hemisphere, welcome to Meteorological Spring which began 1 March 2016. Winter still has much of a grip across parts of North America, Europe, & Scandinavia, but there are signs that warmer weather is on the way.
For your consideration, here are this week's links…
Are you using Windows 10? Here's an interesting read on how Microsoft has beefed up Windows Defender.
For those of us who are astronomy buffs and live in population centers, light pollution is one of the banes of our urban living existence.
California's water woes due to drought continue as a water mandate is extended through October, 2016.
Here's some very good renewable energy news. "For The First Time, Solar Will Be The Top New Source Of Energy This Year."
Are current technological developments improving air quality?
California's drought woes continue with a shortage of mud being the latest challenge.
A very comprehensive and nicely done look at the USA's significant tornado activity for 2016. What will the rest of the year bring? Time will tell, but as things look now, an "average" year is more than likely.
Speaking of tornadoes, a recent study says that "extreme" tornado outbreaks (i.e. 3 April, 1974, 27 April 2011, et al) are becoming more common.
Here's a very intriguing idea in a recent study concerning forecasting tornadoes in the long-term.
In many areas across the USA, Severe Weather Preparedness Week's are in full swing. Here's a very comprehensive page from the National Weather Service on severe weather & tornado safety tips.
A fascinating read on research into a common, but strangely elusive atmospheric phenomenon we know as lightning.
If you live in England or Wales and feel the current winter is warm, you're right. In fact, the winter of 2015/16 is expected to beat records going back to the 17th century.
A very nicely detailed overview of why the February, 2016 global temperature spike is significant not only at the surface, but much higher in the atmosphere.
January and February 2016 set global temperature records. Depending on the data, it's El Niño versus manmade climate change that's responsible.
No easy answers in the public and political discourse regarding climate change. "As Warming Accelerates, Talk Of Climate Change Dissipates."
That's a wrap for this post! I'd like to extend a warm "Welcome" to my new followers in social media, I'm glad you're along for the fun!

Observing Popular Wildlife Of Virginia Woodlands
Post: #1
Observing Popular Wildlife Of Virginia Woodlands
Among the most loved inhabitants of woods in Virginia is the Whitetail Deer. The truth is, Whitetail deer are also known as Virginia Deer. Their more common name describes the white underside of the tails, that will be apparent when they...
Have you ever gone for a walk in the woods, and achieved one of the citizens of the woods? Wildlife in their natural environment have a appeal, appeal, and beauty like nothing else. The people of the woodlands of Virginia are no different. Clicking nirvana 350 information perhaps provides tips you might give to your uncle.
Among the most beloved inhabitants of woods in Virginia may be the Whitetail Deer. Actually, Whitetail deer will also be referred to as Virginia Deer. To discover additional info, we understand you take a gander at: open site in new window. Their more common name refers to the white underside of their tails, which is apparent when they are alarmed or running.
The most effective times to see Whitetail Deer come in the morning and evening. Visiting nirvana 350 likely provides cautions you might tell your uncle. Often just going for a drive o-n the Blue Ridge Parkway at sunset will give you many opportunities to view deer.
An even more common person of-the woods in Virginia, though perhaps less loved, could be the Gray Squirrel. You should go to your hardwood forest that's a lot of mature oak or hickory trees growing inside, if you need to see squirrels. The best time of day-to see squirrels is mid-to late afternoon. The best months are September through November, but they are active year round.
Cottontail Rabbits are another animal who you may find in woodlands. Visiting homepage likely provides cautions you could tell your uncle. Look for them in brushy places, on the edge of clearings, and in small clearings. They could be very difficult to identify, but take to looking for their eyes. Their brown coat blends in to the brush quickly, but an experienced eye could select a blinking rabbit eye.
There are many other animals that reside in the Virginia woods, such as Raccoons, Red Foxes, Turkey, and Bobcats, but they are usually much tougher to get. Seeing one of the more challenging people will require several hours of tracking, stalking, watching and waiting before you tend to see one. But what-ever wildlife you're out to determine, you can enjoy the beauty of design in the Virginia woodlands!.

Updating Your Resume This Summer? Here's What to Fix
Contrary to what you might think, summer is not a great time to slow down your job search. In fact, now's a great time to really pick things up! While people take vacations and summer Fridays have people heading out for the weekend early (side note: best not to send any follow up emails on Friday), the working world doesn't simply stop. Other applicants, however, may. Which means less competition, and a leg up for you.
Whether you're in a desperate job search at the moment, or just starting to put feelers out, it's time to take a good luck at your resume. If this is the first time you've pulled it up in years, there's a good chance it's outdated. Like most aspects of job searching, resume trends are constantly changing, so before submitting any applications it may be smart to check out what formats are still popular — and which aren't.
Truth be told, resumes are more important than many people realize. Think of your resume as a first impression; just like in an interview, it's imperative that you make sure your first impression is as impactful as possible — in a positive way, of course. In reality, hiring managers only look at each resume they receive for a few seconds (at most) before deciding whether or not the candidate is one they'd like to pursue.
So how do you know if your resume from years ago would catch a hiring manager's eye today? Here are some signs your resume might be outdated, and how to fix it up:
- Your resume has a "Skills" section.
In the past, a list of keywords may have been beneficial for resume screening by computers, but recently this practice has been abandoned by most hiring managers. Instead of including a "Skills" section in your resume, try incorporating those keywords into your work experience. Think of it this way: describing a leadership position you have held and your accomplishments is much more powerful than listing "leadership" as a skill.
- You've included references.
Employers know that you "will provide references upon request," but unless they actually do request references, there's no need to provide them in your resume. This is just extraneous words on your resume that may distract from the very thing that might otherwise catch the hiring manager's eye. Don't muddle up your resume with information that the employer will ask for if needed — keep it clean and concise!
- You list every position you've ever held.
Chances are, your third employer won't care what clubs you were a part of during your college years. Same goes for your summer job as a waitress at the pizza joint down the street from your house. Listing these positions makes your resume seem less professional; instead of listing all past employment, just keep the most relevant positions you've held and expand upon your achievements during those times.
- You note an objective.
Every applicant in an employer's system has the same objective: getting the job. The company knows why you're applying, so there's no need for redundancy in your resume. In the same respect, dubbing yourself a "Professional in the Digital Media Industry" won't tell a hiring manager anything they don't already know from your experience.
- The resume has multiple fonts and graphics.
Unless you're applying for a position in a creative industry, your "creative" resume most likely won't impress employers. Adding graphics, colors, and crazy fonts can be extremely distracting to hiring managers, and will mostly send your resume to the bottom of the bunch. That being said, there are ways to utilize your creativity to make a beautiful resume! Go for a sleek, organized template in Times New Roman — classic is the new creative.
Is your new-and-improved resume ready? Click here to download Rake and send that beauty off to your potential future employers!

On Thursday I caught up with 'Run Young Lovers' at the Staines Town's favourite music venue 'The Hobgoblin'. This band plays a patina of indie rock sounds- hot cracking stuff. Choppy, peanut brittle sound bites of feel-good fun and happiness.
Born and raised in Crawley, this 5-piece band originally came to notice under the moniker 'Us And Them' and their toil gained them a worthy reputation on the West Sussex live music scene.
They now play a joyful Cure-sounding sing-along song-book of sounds. And the delighted Staines Hob crowd lapped 'em up like double cream. Soulesque vocals from cuddly bannerman and front-voice Jack Betteridge add warmth and passion to the roistering helter-skelter zip-line indie rock revelry of the band's output.
Songs like 'She Said' (available as a facebook download) with that typical bounce and zizz-a-zizz, and those streamers of guitar flapping in the wind around warm honey-cake vocals, added a real playtime fizz to their show.
Other songs, like 'Moonshine' have playful basslines from Ollie Small, and sudden blooms of effervescent guitar from James Ellis and Lloyd Stone. Driving patterns of percussion are delivered steadily by David Stewart on drums.
Introspection is a specialty of the shy singer Jack, surrounded on all sides by the bounteous multi-faceted guitars. But no snopake is required… no corrections are needed. Bubbling rumbling, bumbling? Check. Soaring highs? Check. Painful lows? Check. It is all there in the 'Run Young Lovers' show.
This band takes you two stops beyond awesomeville, before leaving you, exhausted, and on the last platform, whining for more.

The website shows SAMPLE activities. We'll have plenty for our party, but not all of them. We've picked some of the most popular ones from the past years. It also provides links to the forms needed and lots of detailed things you'll want to know in the FAQ.
Tickets and bus sign-ups are now available for the Grad Night Party. Full ticket price is $160, but don't be intimidated by the price! Talk to your counselor about scholarships; scholarships are not just for Free and Reduced Lunch students, they are for anyone for whom price is an issue.
All students will need to have a filled out Graduation Party Agreement which is available here and explained here. If the student has a life threatening food allergy, please fill out this form.
Purchase Tickets for the Grad Night Party here
To Purchase Full Price Tickets to the Grad Night Party use the Pay Now button above or bring a check for $160 to the Grad Party table (near the Student Store) during Friday lunches. The Graduation Party Agreement must be filled out and turned in to the Friday lunchtime Grad Party table.

What Are All of These Things?
Moving-Up Assembly - June 10th, held at Sammamish at the end of the school day.
This fun Sammamish tradition celebrates all of the students advancing to the next grade during a school assembly. It marks the last day of school for seniors. This is for students and faculty only.
Prom - Saturday evening, June 11 at the Newcastle Golf Club.
Prom is a long-standing graduation tradition in the United States. It is a formal dance, and in this case includes dinner at the Newcastle Golf Club. There is also a tradition in Bellevue for seniors to get together before the event in a place of their choosing for group photos. Appropriate clothing is, for guys; a suit (sometimes a tux), and for girls; a formal dress. Seniors may take a date. If their date is not a Sammamish student they will need to fill out a special permission form. It is common for students to go with a group of friends. For safety, no one will be allowed reentry if they leave during prom. Tickets for prom will be available soon.
Senior Celebration - Sunday, June 12, 3:00 p.m. at the Sammamish Performing Arts Center (PAC).
This is an inspirational, reflective, and joyful ceremony attended by students, family, and faculty. A reception will follow in the atrium. Attendance is free and voluntary.
Senior Recognition - Monday, June 13, 7:00 p.m. at the Sammamish Performing Arts Center (PAC)
This is an awards ceremony attended by students, families, and faculty. Awards given are department awards, athletic awards, and scholarships. Attendance is free and voluntary.
Senior Sleepover - Monday, June 13 9:30ish - Tuesday, June 14, 6:30 a.m. at Sammamish High
This overnight sleepover is for Sammamish seniors only. Seniors sleep in tents - yes they bring their own tents and sleeping bags - and sleep on the school grounds in the courtyard behind the school! Or if the weather is bad, inside the school. Students must bring their own supplies for sleeping outside. Attendance is free and voluntary. No admittance after 10 p.m., students who leave will not be allowed back in. Please sign up to bring food at this sign-up page.
Graduation Rehearsal - Wednesday, June 15, 11:00 a.m. at the Bellevue College Gym.
Seniors are required to attend for instructions about their procession and seating during graduation.
Graduation Ceremony - Wednesday, June 15, 7:00 p.m. at the Bellevue College Gym.
Each family is given up to six tickets and has the opportunity to apply for more. Attire is usually dressy but not formal. The graduation ceremony is free. Doors open at 6:00 p.m.
Grad Night Party - Wednesday 9 p.m. - Thursday 6 a.m.
This all-night party is a newer American tradition. Its goal is to provide a safe, alcohol free, and drug free party while creating great memories for the seniors. The majority of our Sammamish seniors attend this event, and only Sammamish seniors are allowed to attend. There will be many chaperones and a nurse during the entire party.
Three charter buses pick students up at Bellevue College after graduation. They are taken to the first of two secret locations. Activities will include endless professional entertainment, food, games, and daring activities. There will also be quiet places at both venues. Students are dropped off at Sammamish High at 6 am on Thursday morning. They must have transportation home at that time. Cars cannot be parked at Sammamish or Bellevue College over night.
The full ticket price for the Grad Night Party is $160, but the #1 goal is for all of the students to attend, so plenty of scholarships are available. Students who need to pay less than full price should to talk to their counselor to discuss a scholarship. They also must fill out a release form and sign up for a bus in advance of the party. Students should bring a change of clothes for the party to graduation. They will not be allowed to bring phones, drinks, or drugs. All medications must be given to the nurse for safe keeping.
For all students, you must do the following in order to graduate in June:
Keep up your GPA! many colleges will rescind your acceptance if you don't keep up with your classes and earn solid grades during your senior year. Don't let this be you!
Please upload photos/videos by email to: firstname.lastname@example.com or you can put photos in the Class of 2016 mailbox at school and they can be scanned and returned to the student. Make sure information for whom the photos should be returned. Due date for pictures/videos is May 1st! Questions? Email email@example.com

I'm 14 and I weigh 80 lbs. I eat and I eat, but I just can't gain anything!! I'm in football/soccer/baseball and none of my coaches take me seriously and it's driving me insane!! I'm almost 6 ft. so I'm pretty tall, but I need some help or I'll go crazy. If you don't have anything that could help me gain weight, is there anything that will at least make me look a bit bigger than I am?
Thanks much.

Children can be brutally honest at times. After all, it can take them many years until they learn to filter what they say.
That is true.
Well, thanks, Mom.
They always make sure you're aware of their boredom.
They make sure you're aware of who is their favorite.
For this round, at least, Mom is the winner.
Chris better be careful.
They have no problem commenting on your cooking.
They can be overly honest.
They obviously love the beautiful music of bagpipes.
This little boy already has his career in mind.
It may have been the Cheetos.
Sometimes, they just have to say it.
Summer camp took a brutal turn.
This kid decided on a clever approach.
Now, everyone knows the culprit.
Sometimes, it seems like they have got it all figured out.
They never forget their priorities.
They don't hide the truth, no matter what it might be.

Turn on a faucet at Thurston County's Accountability and Restitution Center and you'll get water. Walk into one of the facility's many rooms and the lights turn on automatically.
As project manager Robyn Sederberg walked through the facility last month, Corrections Capt. George Eaton checked the doors for remote access and camera visibility. Vacuum cleaners and mops dotted the long hallways.
"We are 99 percent done," Sederberg said.
The ARC, a corrections facility in the Mottman Industrial Park in Tumwater, was designed to be a satellite of the main jail at the Thurston County Courthouse. The $45 million project reached substantial completion last month – meaning it can do what it was built to do: house inmates.
But that's not likely to happen anytime soon. As contractors go through the final punch list on the 100,000-square-foot building, the county is likely to let it sit empty for at least the next year.
The reasons: lack of money to staff and operate it; and, thanks to declining jail population, less need for it than when it was proposed, County Manager Don Krupp said.
"What we're planning on is making sure the budget provides what is required for minimum maintenance of the facility," he said.
The building's mechanical and electrical systems must be kept running to avoid damage. That will cost about $430,000 in 2011.
Funding for the ARC comes mainly from a voter-approved sales tax increase for detention capital and operating costs. About $4 million is available, but that money must also cover operations and debt service on the juvenile detention center, improvements at the current jail and debt retirement for the ARC.
"At the current rate of revenue, we have not presumed that there is additional capacity to cover additional operations, at least at the time being," Krupp said.
Growth in sales tax revenue to fund operations could be years away, Krupp added.
Based on that, an optimistic timetable for the ARC being staffed in any capacity is 2012, he said.
The ARC was never meant to replace the county jail.
Officials initially proposed building a regional justice center that would have included a complete new jail in 2004. County voters rejected that idea by a significant margin. Officials then decided to develop a satellite jail instead, which became the just-completed ARC.
A proposed second phase of the ARC, to be financed by a real estate excise tax, would have added enough capacity and separate units to transfer the entire jail population – except for inmates on work release. It would have saved the county $2.5 million annually by housing jail operations in one facility. Phase 2 would have added 120 to 228 beds.
The county halted plans for the second phase in late 2008, when the bottom dropped out of the real estate market, cutting in half the revenue from the real estate excise tax.
One consistent critic of the project says it never should have been built in the first place.
Bill Pilkey, who has run for county offices and is the president of the Thurston County Taxpayers' Association, said the county might not have enough money to operate the ARC for at least five years and should have listened to voters in 2004, when they rejected the justice center proposal.
"It was a mistake to build it," he said.
Pilkey, a former chief fiscal analyst for the House Republican caucus, said a tax increase could be used to get the new building opened sooner. That would be the wrong thing to do, given the voters' 2004 rejection of a new jail, he said.
With Phase 2 off the table, one option is to use both the county jail and the ARC at the same time. But once again, the cost makes that impossible in the short term.
Running both would cost $4.3 million annually. It would require hiring 40 additional staff members, including 24 corrections deputies at a cost of roughly $78,000 each in annual salary and benefits, according to county estimates.
In early 2009, the County Commission considered mothballing ARC Phase 1 construction. But figures came back showing costs related to securing the site would eat into the general fund and potentially jeopardize future financing, Krupp said.
While a lack of money is ultimately keeping the ARC empty, the shortfall comes at a time when the county's jail population is down from past years – making the need for the ARC less immediate, corrections officials say.
In 2006, a year after county commissioners directed their staff to plan for the ARC, the 316-bed main county jail averaged 328 inmates a day, Chief Deputy Todd Thoma said.
Inmates often had to sleep on the floor, he said.
But then the jail population, mirroring national trends, dropped to 292 on average in 2008 and 299 last year.
"It's been manageable," Thoma said of the current jail population.
Purely on the basis of beds, the ARC – with 352 beds – could handle the current jail population.
But the diversity of the jail's population requires that prisoners be segregated on the basis of sex and other classifications, including the types of crimes prisoners committed or are accused of.
The current jail has 80 cells divided among 13 units that can be used to segregate prisoners; the ARC has 64 cells spread through eight units.
The limited number of segregation units at the ARC would make it impossible to transfer all the prisoners in the current jail to the new facility, said Eaton, the corrections captain who has been a liaison for the Sheriff's Office during the ARC's construction. The Sheriff's Office runs the county jail.
"Just in the male population, you need a lot of separate housing units," Eaton said. "Eight (units) doesn't allow us to do that."
Those who will eventually oversee the ARC in the Sheriff's Office and on the county commission want to see the building put to use but have few ideas for how to make that happen.
John Snaza, a sheriff's deputy running for sheriff as an independent, has said one of his goals is to staff the ARC within his first four years in office.
"I think we can do it," he said. "It just takes a lot of working with commissioners."
He said he would consider retrofitting of the ARC if it meant a transfer of the jail population.
His Democratic challenger, sheriff's Lt. Debra Mealy, said the delay of Phase 2 puts the county in a bind with regard to transferring the jail population to the ARC.
"If we can utilize part of it cost-effectively and safely, I'd be for it," she said. "But it will be difficult to find ways to save money and staff both facilities."
The commission received five alternatives for the ARC in August, four of which included putting people in the facility. The commissioners are weighing those options; the county staff has recommended either leaving the building empty or transferring the county's court administrative staff to the building.
Commissioner Karen Valenzuela, a Democrat up for election, said the commission will consider anything at this point to find a viable option for the facility. Her goal is to have a transition plan in place by the end of 2011.
"It seems like an awful lot of money for an empty building," she said of the $427,000-a-year minimum maintenance option.
Finding money to open the ARC in 2012 or beyond also will be a challenge, with early projections showing a less-than-promising general fund budget in the coming years, Valenzuela said.
Her challenger, Republican Pat Beehler, said getting the facility open is important and that, if elected, he'll work with the Sheriff's Office on finding enough funds to do so. Calling the current jail dreadful, Beehler said the ARC's additional meeting rooms for programming will provide a better chance for rehabilitation.
In the meantime, he supports keeping the ARC closed and maintaining the building's systems.
The commission already has set aside money for 2011 for minimum maintenance of the ARC.
Krupp continues to explore options for potential use.
Officials discussed using the site as a hub for work release, but a $300,000 retrofit would have been required, and three additional corrections deputies would have been needed, at a total cost of about $240,000 annually.
Leasing the facility also is an option. Officials from the cities of Olympia and Tumwater have toured the facility, but there are no proposals on the table, Krupp said.
Commission Chairwoman Sandra Romero said her goal is to make sure the county doesn't have an empty building.
"It is unacceptable to the county commissioners for us to spend half a million (dollars) on empty space," she said. "It's pretty expensive air, and it's one of those things we are actively looking to mitigate."

I wanted to take a few minutes to clarify a couple things.
First, the Mud Designer is a complete IDE for developing Mud games. It's currently composed of several editors, such as the Room Designer and Project Manager. A new edition to the Mud Designer is a tool called the Visual Designer. This is a test editor, that will replace all of the currently existing editors if it goes right. What's different about it? It contains editors for every object, with a single designer. Instead of launching the Room Designer, and the Zone Explorer, you will have a single designer. The Visual Designer will replace every editor with a single editor that manages everything.
Now, I remember saying I didn't like this approach originally, as it creates a mess with the code. It's an even bigger mess when you start generating objects and building the editor dynamically during runtime. So why am I still pursuing this as a viable option for the Mud Designer? I've figured out a way to keep everything dynamic, and keep the code easy to maintain.
With that being said, what are some of the pros and cons between the current setup, and the future Visual Designer? Let's take a look at them individually.
The current setup is pretty static. Each editor was originally planed to be independent of each other, but that ended up not being the case as keeping things simple, required cross-editor interaction. Not a bad thing though, and the code to add it was small and easy to implement. The editors have a generic look, and if a new object is created within the engine, I will have to go build a new editor for it. That's not a big deal either, but I will have to go to every editor that will need interaction and add the support. Again, this is not to big of a deal, however what if 3rd party members want to add onto an existing editor? They will be required to modify the source. What if they want to create new assembly project and build custom objects that inherit from the standard engine classes in order to make managing Mud Designer updates easier. None of their code is overwrote. This isn't possible with the current setup and I don't think it ever will be due to how it was designed.
Enter the Visual Designer. This designer loads the engine and builds a list of all game objects. Those objects are displayed in a toolbox that users can have access too. The engine will have the plugin support implemented, allowing for developers to create their own libraries containing their own objects and having it loaded into the engine. The designer will then place all engine and plugin objects into the toolbox without any extra code needed for the 3rd party addons. This also removes the need for me to keep going back to the editors and adding the new objects to the editors manually. The Visual Designer handles it for me. If I create a new class called NPC, the designer adds it to itself automatically. I don't have to touch it.
How will I design the editors for each object? I've Created a base control called VisualContainer, and given the BaseObject class that as a Property called Control. Developers can build their own user control that inherits from VisualContainer, and the editor will automatically place the control in the designer. Developers can have access to the control by accessing the property
"Room.Control.Title = My Control"
This let's me focus on building editor controls for each object in a modular fashion, and the designer generates all of it's content during runtime.
It's a concept still being worked on, and mostly works, I just need to work out a few of the kinks before deciding this is acceptable, and removing the current set of editors from the solution.

PMW in the Media
A propaganda turns sickeningly sweet
by MARGOT DUDKEVITCH
The Jerusalem Post - May 23, 2001
JERUSALEM - IAF planes dropping poison chocolates on Palestinian children? Lethal coconut candies falling out of the sky? They're only the latest bid in a systematic and clearly organized attempt by the Palestinian media to maintain a level of hatred against the Jewish people by publishing articles against Israel, Palestinian Media Watch director Itamar Marcus said yesterday.
The Palestinians' latest attempt to score sweet propaganda points appears in the Palestinian daily
Al Hayat Jadida
, accusing Israel of launching a new plot to kill Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip by having aircraft drop poisonous sweets over elementary and junior high schools in the area.
It claims a large quantity of the multi-colored sweets, some coconut-flavored, were scattered in schoolyards. Quoting a Palestinian hospital official, the report says eight children were hospitalized with stomach cramps, nausea, and signs of high fever, and the head of internal medicine at the hospital says only Allah's intervention saved them.
The Hamas Web site adds a little more flavor to the candy story, claiming the sweets were also dropped by Israeli planes and helicopters in the West Bank, and were discovered by villagers in Nablus, Ramallah, and Hebron and found to be poisonous. It claimed that the sweets were packaged to appeal to children, prompting the Palestinian radio and television stations to warn children and parents not to touch the "deadly" sweets.
Even PA Secretary Tayeb Abdel Rahim chimed in, declaring yesterday that Israel was not only bombing the Palestinian people, but planes dropped poisoned chocolates. He claimed the police collected all the candies.
The IDF Spokesman strongly condemned what it described as "the ridiculous Palestinian claim," calling it a further level in the ongoing Palestinian incitement against Israel.
"Whenever there is no news to report, they fabricate these fantastic, libelous accusations, and lately we have noticed an increase in the frequency with which this kind of article appears," said Marcus.
Other Palestinian claims are sinking to belt level.
Al Hayat Jadida
carried a warning four days ago from Palestinian head of general investigations Abdel Rahman Barkat against buying Israeli-made leather belts, claiming they have magnetic attachments which cause many diseases and can cause terrible pains. The article warns the Palestinians against buying the cheap belts, claiming that the low price is because Israel provided $10 million in subsidies to ensure wide distribution not only to Palestinian markets, but the entire Arab world.
However, Marcus noted that on Monday, three days after the original belt story, officials claimed that the belts were tested and it was found that none of the "metal attachments" gave off radiation.

What is SOX Compliance?
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) mandates public companies to keep and report accurate financial records. Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) requires public company's annual reports to include the company's assessment of internal control over financial reporting, and an auditor's attestation.
How Does Cygilant Help?
Cygilant's SOCVue Security Monitoring service helps organizations address SOX by providing 24x7x365 monitoring and compliance reporting on systems that are associated with financial reporting. Because SOX does not specify the exact technical controls to implement, many organizations use COBIT framework as a guide for SOX controls. SOCVue Security Monitoring is designed to help address the APO13 and DSS05 sections of COBIT 5.
Cygilant's SOCVue Vulnerability Management service provides vulnerability detection and remediation guidance to improve your security posture.
Our SOC team will work with your organization to enable the reporting you need to help meet your compliance objectives with ease.
Let's Talk
We save our customers 100s of hours and 1000s of dollars every week, and give them peace of mind with 24x7 detection and response to security incidents and vulnerabilities. Get in touch to learn how we can help your organization be more resilient to cyberattacks and compliance mandates.

Manager commits for another year with Wexford hurlers
DAVY FITZGERALD has revealed that he is remaining on as Wexford Senior hurling manager for 2018 while it is also hoped that he will remain in the role for the following season.
After just one season in the job in a county that became infected by his energy and enthusiasm in the job, Fitzgerald revealed that after much soul searching he is remaining at the helm for another season.
The Sixmilebridge native had requested some time to weigh up whether he would remain at the helm, prompting speculation that he was interested in the vacant Dublin job, although that is believed not to be the case.
However, the former Clare and Waterford manager, had to think about the toll that a return car journey of more than five hours from his home to the Ferns Centre of Excellence was having, while also having some personal commitments to consider.
'I needed some time out but now I've decided to remain on as manager.
'The County Board has been very patient and brilliant with me in giving me the time to arrive at this decision.
'As regards my backroom one can take it will be very much the same as this year.
'As I've just arrived at the decision I will be discussing the backroom over the next few days but I expect it to be the same, very much so,' he said.
Fitzgerald's backroom team is likely to be the same as those he had this year, J.J. Doyle, Seoirse Bulfin, Paraic Fanning and P.J Ryan.
Incidentally Doyle will take charge of UCD this year for the Fitzgibbon Cup, replacing Nicky English who did not seek a return to the post.
When appointed to the Wexford role last October, the 45-year-old former Clare manager had to contemplate life in Division 1B, but he succeeded in awakening the sleeping giants, by gaining promotion to Division 1A and qualifying for a league semi-final where they lost out to Tipperary, coming after a famous quarter-final victory over arch rivals Kilkenny in Nowlan Park.
Fitzgerald turned down the Wexford job twice saying it took repeated advances from County Board Chairman, Diarmuid Devereux, before he was eventually persuaded to return to inter-county management, having shortly before stepped aside after five years in charge of his native Clare.
Fitzgerald led Clare to the All-Ireland title in 2013, while on taking the Wexford job entered his 28th consecutive season in the elite level of hurling, having first broken into the Clare panel as a young goalkeeper in 1990.
He accomplished the two year goal set out for him in Wexford by Devereux within the first six months, promotion back to Divi- sion 1A of the league and bringing Wexford back into the provincial final with their clash against Galway attracting a record 62,000 crowd.
During that six months, Fitzgerald's led Wexford had some wonderful accomopolishments, being the only county to record a victory over now All-Ireland champions, Galway, recording a league victory in Salthill for the first time, defeating Limerick in their opening league game, while also dismissing Kilkenny from the provincial championship title race.
With the Wexford hurling championship now at the business end of affairs, Fitzgerald and his backroom will be taking in club action over the coming weekends as they seek out new talent to bolster their squad.

Joplin tornado deadliest in 60+ years
More than 1,150 people injured in storm that destroyed 30% of city
JOPLIN, MO (UPI) | May 25, 2011
Missouri authorities Tuesday raised the the Joplin tornado death toll to 117, making it the deadliest in 60 years, and put the number of missing at 1,500..More than 1,150 people were injured, officials said.
President Obama announced he had sent to two top federal officials to the stricken city.
About 30 percent of Joplin's buildings were destroyed by the Sunday evening twister, which cut a 3/4 mile swath and sported winds of 198 mph. It was unclear whether those missing managed to flee the area or whether they are trapped under the debris.
"We have suffered a devastating loss," Joplin City Manager Mark Rohr said in a Los Angeles Times report.
Obama, on a trip to London, said Administrator Craig Fugate of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Deputy Administrator Rich Sereno went to Joplin "to make sure our federal government is working hand in hand with state and local officials to give them the help they need."
Obama said he would travel to Joplin Sunday to view the damage from a tornado that ranks as the deadliest to hit Missouri in more than a century and the nation's worst in nearly 60 years.
Seventeen people had been found buried alive in the debris, including one person at a Home Depot where several bodies were recovered.
Authorities said two emergency workers were struck by lightning while trying to locate survivors.
Weather forecasters warned the area could still face some violent weather, the Springfield (Mo.) News-Leader reported.
"I do have a lot of concern for Tuesday and Wednesday," said forecaster John Kurtz of the National Weather Service.
Kurtz said a low-pressure system, now in the Rockies, would combine with other conditions later Tuesday in Oklahoma and Kansas to spawn more storms.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Monday the tornado was the deadliest single tornado in the United States since 1953.
Preliminary estimates indicate the tornado was rated as an EF-4, the second-highest classification, but it may eventually be rated EF-5, KSPR-TV said. An EF-4 tornado features winds of 166 mph to 200 mph.
Rescue efforts were complicated by storms battering the area Monday with hail and heavy downpours, Accuweather.com reported.
The Joplin tornado was one of 50 reported Sunday night in Missouri, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Another tornado outbreak was predicted for the South Tuesday, Accuweather.com said.
Joplin City Manager Mark Rohr said the Sunday night tornado, described by one resident as "quite horrific," sliced through the center of the city.
The Joplin tornado struck the heart of the city "and it's very dense in terms of population," Emergency Management Director Keith Stammer told CNN. He said more than 40 rescue units from Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Missouri were sent to help.
The Springfield (Mo.) News-Leader said St. John's Regional Medical Center in Joplin took a direct hit. KSHB-TV, Kansas City, Mo., reported fires throughout the hospital.
Nearly 200 patients were evacuated. Many were taken to Freeman hospital in Joplin and others were flown to other St. John's hospitals in Springfield and northwest Arkansas, KSPR-TV reported.
X-rays from St. John's were found in driveways 70 miles away, said Ray Foreman, a meteorologist with KODE-TV, Joplin.
Joplin High School, a Home Depot, a Walmart, a church, apartments and gas stations were among buildings heavily damaged or destroyed. Schools were closed Monday.
Jerry Williams, assistant vice president at Missouri Southern State University, told the News-Leader he heard the tornado coming.
"I took my wife into a closet under the stairs," he said. "It sounded like a huge wind.
"It's been quite horrific. There are just areas that are flattened. Places are gone."
Jeff Law, 23, rode out the tornado in a friend's storm cellar. When he came out afterward, he said he didn't recognize his town.
"I didn't know where I was," Law said. "Everything was unrecognizable. It's like Armageddon."
Missouri officials said they were waiving fees and expediting highway permits to make it easier for trucks to haul relief supplies into tornado-stricken Joplin.
The Missouri Department of Transportation said permits were required for out-of-state trucks and vehicles hauling wide loads; however, the permits would be issued without charge and would be given high priority for approval.
The agency said in a written statement staff members would be on duty around the clock to handle the permit requests through May 30. The department may be reached at 800-877-8499 or 573-291-4853 after normal business hours.
A key trucking terminal in Joplin was one of the many buildings damaged by Sunday's massive twister. Conway Trucking said Monday its facility barely avoided a direct hit, but suffered numerous broken windows and had about 30 empty truck trailers damaged.
The company said in a written statement its operations office was running on an emergency generator and was in communication with its drivers and customers.
In Minneapolis, police declared an exclusion zone Monday in part of the tornado-pummeled North Side, where only residents will be allowed in once the area is considered safe, the Star Tribune newspaper in Minneapolis reported.
One person was killed and 29 hurt in at least three tornadoes that struck the Twin Cities Sunday. WCCO, Minneapolis, reported 30 homes were damaged.
Hundreds of people were forced to seek shelter from their damaged homes, schools were closed and about 10,000 customers were without power Monday.
Although rumors of looting proved largely unfounded, a 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew imposed Sunday will continue for the next "couple of days," Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak said.
The National Weather Service said twisters were reported in Juneau, Taylor, La Crosse and Monroe counties in western Wisconsin, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
The windstorms knocked down trees in Mather and flipped several cars, damaged billboards and broke windows in Sparta, the newspaper said. In La Crosse, a tornado blew roofs off buildings and caused serious damage to a Kmart store. Authorities were checking a report of people possibly trapped in an apartment building, the Journal Sentinel said.

text: The idea of riding a motorcycle is to allow you the freedom of the open air while traveling. It can also be a very inexpensive way to travel or to commute. Learning how to operate a motorcycle is very important. You don't want to be an inexperienced operator out there with so many other vehicles on the road. The process is quick for some, and others struggle to learn how to operate one. It comes down to learning the skills and believing in your ability to make it happen. Keep…Read More

I am so so so bad for letting myself spend countless hours up late, just watching youtube videos I can't even remember were about. 12 pm every night, then waking up at 7 was not good, haha! I love your tips as they are similar to the ones in my post that I'll have below. I would totally consider myself a morning person, feeling good and energized at dawn, but at the same time I'm the kind of girl who sleeps in 'till 10am. xxReplyDelete

I used to be exactly the same, the hours would just fly by and the next thing I know its 1am and I'm looking at things online but now I've set myself a time where I have to be off I am finding the I am sleeping so much better xxDelete
I used to be a morning person but since I've come back from America I have been waking up later, taking pointless naps and I've just felt so unproductive as we as unwell. I even had to call in sick to work the other day purely because I feel mentally and physically drained. I need to get back in to my morning routine and this post has definitely given me a few ideas on what I should do. Hopefully I'll be feeling better soon as well as having a little more energy throughout the day! :) xxReplyDelete

Krista Erikson bolts CBC for Fox News North
Sun TV News due to launch Jan. 1, 2011BANFF, ALBERTA -- Canada's Fox News clone may have its first TV anchor babe.
Controversial Canadian Broadcasting Corp. TV reporter Krista Erickson has left the public broadcaster's flagship newscast "The National."
"After 11 years with CBC News, I'm leaving the corporation and its Parliamentary bureau to pursue another opportunity," Erickson said in a terse internal memo to fellow network news employees.
The speculation is Erickson will land a news anchor post with Sun TV News, Quebecor Media's right-wing all-news channel modeled on Fox News to the south.
Fox News North may fit better than the CBC with Erikson, as she raised eyebrows at the liberal-leaning public broadcaster for having a Conservative member of Parliament as a partner.
Canada's home for "hard news and straight talk" has made other hires, including David Akin jumping from Canwest News, a division of Canwest Global Communications Corp., to join Sun TV News, as has Brian Lilley, former Ottawa bureau chief for Astral Media Radio.
Even before Sun TV News goes to air, Canadian pundits are already facing off over its pending January 1, 2011 launch.
Christopher Dornan, writing in the left-leaning Toronto Star, called Sun TV News "a Canadian Fox News knock-off" likely to "give not-so-worked-up citizens the willies."
Peter Worthington, writing in The Sun, part of the Quebecor Media empire, welcomed the Canadianized Fox News channel.
"I do (watch Fox News), and far prefer it to CNN or MSNBC or even the CBC, all of which give a slanted and selective view of news of the day," he wrote.
"Unless one views Americans as mostly mindless, rightwing nutbars, since around 2002 Fox News has dominated rival channels and has earned the title "Fair and Balanced" that once went to CNN," Worthington added.
Quebecor Media must first secure a broadcast license for Sun TV News from the CRTC, Canada's TV regulator, before it can launch the 24/7 news channel.

NiceHashMiner_v220.127.116.11+bins – Magnet – 153,2MB
Notes on CPU mining:
1. Please note that CPUs without AES-NI extension are no longer supported.
2. xmr-stak-cpu CryptoNight miner has support for LOCKED PAGES; it will give more performance when enabled. How to enable: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ms190730.aspx (you may have to restart OS after changing). You have to be logged into Windows as Administrator in order for this feature to work. To properly benchmark CPU mining it is best to reboot the system with as little auto-start applications as possible before benchmarking.
3. If you have a recent Intel CPU and you are used to overclock CPU, you can tune some CPU cache settings in order to achieve best performance. You can try to set BIOS setting CPU Cache Ratio to the same value as your max CPU Ratio. For example if a CPU Ratio for a 4.5 GHz Intel CPU with 100 MHz BLCK is 45, then the Min and Default CPU Cache Ratio has also to be set to 45. As always, be careful with overclocking and keep in mind that overclocking or forcing manual settings might void your hardware warranty or damage your hardware.

When: March 12-13, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. 2011
Just last week I marvelled over how graceful an animal the common house cat is. This was, of course, after I turned around from washing dishes, responding to the sound of guttural feline hacking, just in time to watch one of my black long-hairs projectile vomit off the top of my food cupboard. Spectacular! What poise! High marks for chunkiness and range! Anywho, if you too just love cats, catch this second day of the International Cat Association's cat show at the City Auditorium (221 E. Kiowa St., coloradocatsclub.org). From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days, view more than 40 breeds; entry runs $3 to $6, and bringing two food items for Care and Share saves you $2. — Matthew Schniper
Price: $4-$15

Town was showing some signs of life so I headed over early to beat the sea breeze. Sets were sparse in typical southern hemi swell fashion but there were a couple pulses of back to back head high sets that got the crew buzzing. I took pictures from 745 to 1015. waves were to 2 - 3 feet. Wind was side off and switched on shore right when I stepped on the beach coming in.

Swell was small in town today (Monday) but found a few fun ones sneaking few at the Beach Park.
Some insane surfing in the final. Slater's 10 point, rediculously high, full rotation air reverse into the flats was unbelievable. Mick's surfing was powerful and flawless minus the flare of Slater. Slater should have gotten the score he needed on his second scoring ride. Slater's been the beneficiary of some questionable finals scoring in the past - beating AI in Jbay and Phil MacDonald at Trestles come to mind - so he probably had it coming.

Beautiful morning on the North Shore. Swell was North, 3 to 4 feet, no clouds and straight off shore winds. Had a quick tube hunt at Rockies and then grabbed the camera and took pictures from 730am to 930am.

Town has been showing some signs of life the last couple weeks with a few fun little swells. I shot Beach Park yesterday from 8am to 1045am. It wasn't exactly pumping but when they came there were some rippable shoulder to head high bangers.
I jumped in for a quick session at Sandys on Saturday. I should have a video up tomorrow. Took a few beatings and scuffed up the new port for my water housing. Congrats to John John for smoking everyone in West Oz. He won the event and it wasn't even close. Definitely one of the funnest guys to watch surf.

Had a quick look up and down the North Shore this morning, but Lanis was the only spot really pulling in the swell. Waves were 4 to 5 feet with a few 6 footers keeping everyone on their toes. Some of them were lining up good and running through. A few hollow sections if you were in the right the spot. Gallery should be up late tonight or tomorrow morning.
Live web stream of Margaret River contest
Pros are down at Margaret's River for a comp. The waves look sick today. Contest runs from around 11am to 8pm Hawaii time. Check the video above for a bit of yesterday's action and the link for a live stream. For Hawaii, we have a NNW swell in the on-deck circle. Should have fun overhead waves in the country tomorrow
