Rivulets streamed across my window, breaking up into a chain of droplets like the streamers of rain on an airplane's window during a landing approach. Only these rivulets, red-orange hot, were driven by a Mach 25 breeze. Our Russian Soyuz capsule had pierced the veil-thin region of Earth's upper atmosphere at almost five miles per second, and was shedding sparks and bits of molten metal.
From This Story

Many times I have marveled at the fiery trails of meteor showers that leave a glow in the night sky. Most of us have. We stop, wide-eyed, to observe the fleeting streaks. Sometimes we make a wish.
This time, we were the meteor. And yes, I for one was making a wish.
Our mission, in addition to having the glitches that seem to dog every spaceflight, was unintentionally becoming a test run for a trip to and a landing on Mars: a weightless journey of many months in space, followed by a high-speed entry into a planet's atmosphere, a sporty parachute deployment, a hard landing in the middle of a remote region, and no outside help for hours afterward. We would learn that our research on the International Space Station is already helping us prepare for the day humans land on Mars.
A few hours earlier I had been aboard the station with commander Kenneth Bowersox and flight engineer Nikolai Budarin, my crewmates on Expedition 6. We had blasted off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida aboard space shuttle Endeavour on November 23, 2002. This day, May 3, 2003, the three of us unknowingly prepared while orbiting Earth for a landing on Mars.
It had been a mission full of sudden turns. Three months before Endeavour's planned launch, NASA had removed one of the prime crew members for medical reasons. As his backup I found myself propelled into orbit long before my scheduled position in line. Then, on February 1, 2003, the Columbia disaster grounded the shuttle fleet, and our mission was extended from three and a half months to five and a half months. An astronaut colleague had told me before my flight that one should never venture into space without being mentally prepared to remain there for a year. His advice was half right.
We were returning in a Soyuz vehicle that had been docked to the station throughout our stay. We bid farewell to our Expedition 7 replacement crew before closing the hatch and strapping into our seats. The three of us were bound up like hapless flies in a seat belt web. We undocked, burned our de-orbit engine, and waited to enter the atmosphere. Then came the rat-a-tat-tat of pyrotechnic charges, like a ball-peen hammer pounding on the hull, which dissected the spacecraft into three pieces. With a slight lurch, we discarded two spent modules like empty soda bottles tossed out along the Route 66 of space.
Ken looked out his window and saw the propulsion module burning up as designed. I looked out my window and viewed the orbital module ablaze with incandescence. They resembled chunky filaments inside a light bulb. We marveled at the scene, unaware that these bits of disintegrating spacecraft shouldn't appear within our field of view. Unknown to us, our reaction control system had failed, allowing the capsule to yaw out of the correct entry attitude.
Seconds later our warning panel lit up with a master caution that displayed the Cyrillic letters for "BC." It meant we were entering the atmosphere in a "balistiki spusck," switching irreversibly from a piloted course to a ballistic, or unguided, one. This was the first entry flight of a Soyuz with an upgraded cockpit, and it was malfunctioning. We were coming in with no more grace than a cannon ball.
One of the nasty little side effects of a ballistic entry is that your G level climbs to more than twice that of a normal entry. So instead of experiencing 3 to 3.5 Gs, we were grunting under peak loadings above 8 Gs, after having lived for almost half a year in the zero G of space. In my spacesuit I weighed about 1,700 pounds. These gravitational swings can be rough on the body. But humans have demonstrated throughout time that their physiology is robust and can operate under extremes. If as a species we were not so capable, all that would remain of Homo sapiens might be a thin fossil layer eroding from some Ethiopian hillside.

A Food Blog that shares tried & true recipes, and my passion for cooking and baking with a garnish of beginning gardening and some travel.
Thursday, January 22, 2009
I cannot resist checking in on The Pioneer Woman website on a daily basis. Her cookin' is simple, down home and delicious. I've made her onion straws, and loved them. We're experiencing glorious warm weather, in the middle of January, in California. So, we've rolled out the Weber and I plan to grill some Santa Maria Style Tri-Tip (recipe for delicious cornbread is coming soon). You've GOT to serve them with beans!
I'm fifty percent Mexican, so I love beans (and tortillas). I love 'em refried, as chili con carne, red beans & rice-- I just love beans. They're easy to make, inexpensive and good for you. I used Ree's recipe as a guideline, but the truth is... I didn't measure at all.
I am a cowgirl, at heart. Yessiree! I have a horse to prove it. She's almost 25 years old, but she was once a rootin' tootin' reigning cowhorse who won quite a few trophies. Here she is, with me, just yesterday afternoon:
The recipe is very basic, according to Pioneer Woman's recipe:
I adapted it to suit my taste

Seasonal Fluxes Across Submarine Ice Sheet Margins: A Pilot Study in West Greenland
Sarah Das, Geology & Geophysics
Hanu Singh, Applied Ocean Physics & Engineering
Lee Freitag, Applied Ocean Physics & Engineering
Al Plueddemann, Physical Oceanography
Fiamma Straneo, Physical Oceanography
Arctic Research Initiative
2011 Funded Project
We are proposing a pilot study to investigate seasonally varying discharge cross submarine ice sheet margins (aka grounding lines), one of the most important but least accessible, and thus least well understood, regions of the polar ice sheets. Glacial meltwater provides a significant source of freshwater, chemicals, nutrients and sediment to the surrounding oceans, but the lack of observations at the submarine ocean-ice interface, where the bulk of this meltwater is released, have thus far precluded our ability to understand of the magnitude and variability of these fluxes. We have chosen as our study site an outlet glacier / fjord system in western Greenland that is relatively shallow and free of large iceberg calving activity, enabling measurements and sampling at the ice-ocean interface. Proposed work will occur during targeted field campaigns that represent both low melt/discharge ("winter") conditions and peak melt/discharge ("summer") conditions to investigate the temporal and spatial nature of these highly variable fluxes. We will use passive and active water mass tracers following classical oceanographic methods, along with discrete water sampling, carried out by ice-edge and under-ice AUV surveys (leveraging work being done under a separate NSF-MRI award), to investigate the character and fate of meltwater released at the submarine ice edge.

- Audio Return Channel (ARC)
- UL Approved
- High speed version 1.4 HDMI cable
- Ethernet Capability
- 24 karat gold plated m-m connectors
- 35ft in length
- High definition 1080p Full HD Video supported
- High definition Audio up to 7.1 channel surround sound supported
Please Note: This cable is thick and rigid. When connecting to your device, make sure that the cable is not excessively bent to prevent from damaging the cable. You should also consider purchasing "Right angle HDMI adapters".
Overview of HDMI 1.4
What's new in the HDMI 1.4 specification?
- HDMI Ethernet Channel
The HDMI 1.4 specification adds a data channel to the HDMI connection, enabling high-speed, bi-directional communication. Connected devices that include this feature can send and receive data via 100 Mb/sec Ethernet, making them instantly ready for any IP-based application. The HDMI Ethernet Channel allows internet-enabled HDMI devices to share an internet connection via the HDMI link, with no need for a separate Ethernet cable. It also provides the connection platform that will allow HDMI-enabled components to share content between devices.
- Audio Return Channel
The new specification adds an audio channel that will reduce the number of cables required to deliver audio "upstream" from a TV to an A/V receiver for processing and playback. In cases where a TV features an internal content source, such as a built-in tuner or DVD player, the Audio Return Channel allows the TV to send audio data upstream to the A/V receiver via the HDMI cable, eliminating the need for an extra cable.
The 1.4 version of the specification defines common 3D formats and resolutions for HDMI-enabled devices, enabling 3D gaming and other 3D video applications. The specification standardizes the input/output portion of the home 3D system, facilitating 3D resolutions up to dual-stream 1080p.
- 4K Resolution Support
The new specification enables HDMI devices to support extremely high HD resolutions, effectively four times the resolution of a 1080p device. Support for 4K allows the HDMI interface to transmit digital content at the same resolution as the state-of-the-art Digital Cinema systems used in many movie theaters.
- Expanded Support For Color Spaces
HDMI now supports color spaces designed specifically for digital still cameras, enabling more accurate color rendering when viewing digital photos. By supporting sYCC601, Adobe®RGB, and Adobe®YCC601, HDMI display devices are capable of displaying more accurate, life-like colors when connected to a digital camera.
- HDMI Micro Connector (Type D)
The HDMI Micro Connector is a significantly smaller 19-pin HDMI connector supporting up to 1080p resolutions for portable devices such as cell phones, portable media players, and digital cameras. This new connector is approximately 50% smaller than the size of the existing HDMI Mini connector.
- Automotive Connection System (Type E)
The Automotive Connection System is a cabling specification designed to be used for in-vehicle HD content distribution. The HDMI 1.4 specification provides a solution designed to meet the rigors and environmental issues commonly found in automobiles, such as heat, vibration and noise. Using the Automotive Connection System, car manufacturers now have a viable solution for HD distribution within a vehicle.

Kony's LRA engaged in poaching and ivory trade
"The LRA has been responsible for some of the most egregious violations of human rights in Central Africa. Now Kony and his rebels appear to be engaging in elephant poaching and ivory smuggling to sustain their terrorist operations. The security implications of illegal wildlife trade extend far beyond conservation. It is a national security issue and a threat to human life," said Bas Huijbregts, head of policy engagement for WWF in Central Africa.
Last month the United Nations Security Council requested an investigation into LRA's sources of funding, including elephant poaching and ivory smuggling. The move came just after a briefing of UN ambassadors by WWF and TRAFFIC experts highlighting the national security threat posed by wildlife crime.
Poaching of elephants has reached crisis levels in Central Africa, largely due to demand for ivory products in Asian markets such as China and Thailand. Through a global petition, WWF and our supporters are calling on the Thai prime minister to ban ivory trade in the country.


text: Updated: Stolen truck found burning in Rochester By JOHN QUINNUnion Leader Correspondent March 11. 2013 7:00AM ROCHESTER— Police are asking residents for help identifying the men who stole a pickup which could have been used for other crimes before being burned early this morning. Police, firefighters and emergency personnel responded around 2:12 a.m. after receiving a report of a vehicle fire on the railroad tracks along Whitehall Road. Officers found a silver 2005 Ford Ranger fully engulfed in flames, which were quickly extinguished by firefighters. Investigators determined the pickup had been stolen from a home in Alton and could have been used in an attempted burglary in Farmington before being abandoned and set ablaze by two men, according to police. Alton Police Chief Ryan Heath said the truck was stolen from a home at 298 Main St., but the owner didn't notice it was missing until officers came to the home around 2:40 a.m. Heath said detectives are meeting with their counterparts in Farmington and Rochester .Farmington Police Chief Kevin Willey said the truck may be connected to an attempted burglary incident around 2 a.m. at the Farmington Lil General Store on Route 11. Willey said someone attempted to enter the store, but left after the alarm sounded. "We are investigating to determine whether the truck recovered in Rochester was our suspect vehicle," Willey said. Anyone with information about the crimes is encouraged to contact officer Matt Leccacorvi at 330-7128. Anonymous tips can also be submitted via the Rochester Crime Line at 335-6500 or by texting CRIMES (274637) Body of Text: TEXT4CASH + your tip.

For several years, me and Mike Resnick went back and forth about premise versus character. I insisted a science fiction story required a valid science premise well-integrated into the story. He insisted the characters were the only story elements that truly mattered.
Then one day I heard myself talking to Analog writer Karl Bunker about his "This Quiet Dust" story. Me and Bunker happen to both be on the Critters Workshop, so I was able to read an earlier version. The version that Analog published was significantly different from the draft Bunker had submitted to Critters. I told Bunker, "The first version is character oriented, the second is premise oriented. I'll take character oriented version over the premise oriented version." When I saw these words come out of my keyboard, I knew Resnick had finally won.
But this was only one of a string of Resnick inspired epiphanies, so many I've lost count.
A few summers ago, I put Resnick's "Birthright" on hold to binge watch 4 seasons of a "The Good Wife. I've never met a legal drama I didn't watch, but I've never binge watched any of them, much less 92 episodes over a period of 3 weeks.
When I thought about why I devoted so much of my valuable time to watching one television show, why I couldn't stop watching, why I wouldn't even be tempted to binge watch, indeed, even watch, 99% of other television shows, I realized it was because the characters were so compelling. Every one of them – main, recurring, and cameo – was fascinating.
Then they got a new showrunner or a new script team or lost their vision or something. After the fifth season, the story arcs became headline oriented, the scenes became antic oriented, and most importantly, the characters existed to serve the plot instead of vice versa. The show became a shell of its earlier self. I was on the verge of abandoning it when the network put it out of its misery.
Several months ago, I binge watched the first season of Billions, another legal drama. And for the same reason. There wasn't even one character I didn't thoroughly savor exploring. Comparing the two shows, I realized one was character development oriented and the other was character interaction oriented.
I have a longstanding policy of watching at least the pilot of every new speculative fiction television show. But without compelling characters, there is no chance I'm going to binge watch, no matter impressive the light show, no matter how intriguing the lab lingo, no matter crisp the banter, no matter how sophisticated the plots/arcs.
I never got back "Birthright," but I did have yet another epiphany or two or three. I think it was worth the tradeoff.

Luxury Home Design Inspiration for Small Spaces
San Francisco recently approved zoning for "micro-apartments," which will only be 220 square feet in size, following in line with recent urban trends. It would seem there is a big advantage to going small, given the growing interest in tiny homes and minimalism.
Most people wonder if living in micro spaces is even feasible. The simple answer is yes - if you have the right approach. Check out these tips from Savvy Home.

Roosevelt Family
This hall, the Theodore Roosevelt Rotunda above, and the Central Park West entrance opened in 1936 as New York State's official memorial to Theodore Roosevelt, Governor of New York (1899-1901) and 26th President of the United States (1901–1909).
In 1869, the future president's father, Theodore Roosevelt, Sr., gathered prominent New Yorkers in his East 20th Street home to sign the charter for this Museum. In 1872, Theodore, Jr., then 13, made his first donation to the collections, including the skull of a red squirrel.

So, you have an idea for some fantasy realm and you want to make a map of it, but you aren't sure how. Here is something that is pretty easy that I have found to be good. It uses GIMP, but only the most basic of tools, so I am sure you can figure out how to use it in any program that s better than just MSpaint.
Before we even start we are going to talk a bit about how to use geography to make interesting gameplay. A map made up of entirely land isn't going to be very fun. Shape is one of the main things that can change gameplay, and you most often use water to get shape. You want to have a good amount of water in order to make some places harder to attack and other easier. Using peninsulas and bays along with flat coastline is what makes interesting maps. You don't want too much of the map to be water or else you will get very few territories (you could try to make the water into territories, but that doesn't always work.)
Here is the image I am going to start with:
Here we go!
To add territories, use the brush tool, one pixel circle. Go to brush dynamics (below your layers) and set the spacing to 200. Then in a new layer draw your borders. Then set the opacity of the layer with borders down to like 70%
Finally, for bonuses, just use the airbrush tool. A nine pixel fuzzy circle should work. Go along the inside of the region you want to be a bonus (in a new layer). Then, in a new layer from that, probably below the one you have the territory borders in, trace the territory borders along the outside of the bonus regions with a very small fuzzy circle brush at about 30% opacity.
Congrats, you now have a nice looking map, ready for use!

Kudos to Whitehouse for taking stand on carbon
The April 12 deadline for comments on U.S. Sen. Whitehouse's draft on carbon pricing is fast approaching. This is an important first step in placing a direct fee on carbon pollution and returning the revenue back to consumers so we can transition to a clean energy economy while helping to ensure a stable climate for our children and grandchildren.
Sen. Whitehouse is asking the public to comment on four items: the appropriate price per ton for carbon polluters to pay; what the annual increase should be; the best ways to return the revenue to the public; and how the pricing mechanism would interact with existing state programs.
A high price on carbon promises climate solutions, and I am grateful that strong leadership is coming from our state. The least we can do as citizens is return the favor and offer our feedback at his website. Please visit Whitehouse.senate.gov and look for the March 12 press release titled "Waxman, Whitehouse, Blumenauer and Schatz release carbon price discussion draft."
As the press release states, the proposed legislation would establish the polluter pays principle for dangerous carbon pollution, requiring large emitters to pay for the pollution they emit.

With winter quickly approaching in Tajikistan, WFP has welcomed the arrival of 1,114 metric tons of wheat flour purchased through a generous donation from the Government of Japan for vulnerable people in Tajikistan.
DUSHANBE – Thanks to Japan, WFP can make good progress in achieving food security for Tajikistan's hungry poor, senior WFP official Alzira Ferreira said during a ceremony marking the arrival of the wheat flour from Japan.
The flour, which is being stored in the WFP warehouse in Dushanbe, is the final instalment of food in Japan's US $4.7 million donation to WFP.
"WFP cannot thank the Government and people of Japan enough for this solid and consistent support," said Alzira Ferreira of WFP. "Thanks to Japan, we can make good progress in achieving food security for all, in accordance with the Government of Tajikistan's food security policy of 2009."
At the end of November, WFP and officials of the Japanese Government signed a Grant Agreement for a new donation of 300,000,000 Japanese yen (US $3.3 million).
Record year
Ms. Ferreira emphasized that 2009 has been a record year for Japan's support to WFP – its global contribution of US$196 million makes it the third-largest donor country to the organization. In Tajikistan, Japan is the second-largest donor to WFP in Tajikistan.
The warehouse ceremony was attended by a delegation of senior Japanese officials based in Tajikistan, led by Yoshihiro Nakayama, Charge d'Affaires of the Embassy of Japan, and Kaiho Seiji, the Resident Representative, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). Gulchehra Bozorova, Deputy Minister of Economic Development and Trade, and Malika Kurbanova, Second Secretary of the Department of UN and International Organizations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, represented the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan.
The officials were greeted by WFP staff with the traditional Tajik welcome of flat bread, salt and honey. The bread was baked with a small quantity of the wheat flour donated by Japan.
Nutrition and stability
"We are fully committed to supporting human security in Tajikistan," said Mr. Nakayama. "We know that this assistance will promote nutrition, education, improved rural infrastructure and household stability in this important country in central Asia."
Ms. Ferreira underlined the excellent partnership between WFP and the Government of Tajikistan as the cornerstone for WFP's programmes in Tajikistan, which include food for victims of natural disasters, children in primary schools, tuberculosis patients undergoing medical treatment and their families, destitute rural families in the hard times of the year, and malnourished children and their mothers.

The more I write about summer clothes, and slowly accept that summer isn't actually coming, I look to next winter and start structuring my cold wardrobe. Coats are a notoriously hard thing to get right and a single inch too short or too long can ruin not only an entire look, but an entire wardrobe (well, almost.)
The Fashionisto has lifted the lid on the latest H&M collection for A/W 2009 and this faux-crushed velvet coat has a bit of an edge on other high-street pieces. With what looks like a simple collar and in solid black, the material of this coat allows it to be easily worn with any items while being a stand-out piece in itself.
I would keep to simple tones but contrast fabrics and textures to build up the layers of an elaborate get-up. Throw in a bit of tacky bling-age to mix up the expensive looking coat but keep it minimal; garish garb is best when less.

A federal lawsuit has been filed seeking damages for 17 people who were passengers last month on the crippled Carnival Triumph cruise ship.
The plaintiffs in the suit filed Thursday are all Texas residents who claim they were physically harmed and fearful for their lives. The ship cruises out of the Port of Galveston.
The suit is at least the fourth to be filed against Miami-based Carnival Cruise Lines. A prior one is seeking class-action status for more than 3,000 passengers aboard when an engine fire cut off all power and left them at sea for five days. Passengers say they endured food shortages, raw sewage running in corridors and tent cities for sleeping on deck.
The latest suit argues that Carnival overreaches in protecting itself against liability.

1906 (JUNE) In a communication dated June 3, 1906, Ellen White is "shown" that God has apparently changed His mind about whether she should try to answer all the questions raised by the Battle Creek physicians. Now, Ellen says God does not want her to answer these questions. Her "testimony," quoted in A. T. Jones letter of 1909, is as follows:
Sabbath night, a week ago, after I had been prayerfully studying over these things, I had a vision, in which I was speaking before a large company, where many questions were asked concerning my work and writings.
I was directed by a messenger from Heaven not to take the burden of picking up and answering all the saying and doubts that are being put into many minds.
1907 - Dr. Stewart of the Battle Creek Sanitarium publishes an 89-page pamphlet which places Ellen White's plagiarisms of Conybeare and Howson's book, Life and Epistles of the Apostle Paul , side-by-side with the sections she copied into her book, Sketches from the Life of Paul . This pamphlet was prepared in response to Mrs. White's request in 1905 to those who had puzzling questions about things in her writings to submit them to her for answers. Dr. Stewart's booklet points out an extensive variety of evidence that would prove that she was not inspired by God. Ellen White never bothered to reply to Dr. Stewart's charges. You can read his entire booklet, "A Response to an Urgent Testimony from Mrs. E. G. White," at Robert K. Sander's web-site, Truth or Fables at this Web address:
Note that as of the writing of this book, the Ellen White propaganda web-site, www.ellenwhite.info , tries to defend her plagiarism by arguing that the Conybeare and Howson book was in the public domain and that copyright laws were different in her day. This propaganda outlet fails to disclose that the real problem with Ellen White in this instance is that she claimed to have gotten this information from God in vision, making her a liar and committing a white-collar type of blasphemy.
1907 - Two General Conference officials visit Dr. Kellogg in his home. He is disfellowshipped. He denies being a Pantheist, notes how Ellen White herself had earlier read his transcript for The Living Temple and had nothing significant to say about it. He confronts the leaders with the fact that he did not build any buildings in Chicago-- a fact by this time-- and questions how God could have shown Ellen something that was not true.
1908 - Astronomer Malotte at the Greenwich Observatory discovers the 8 th moon of Jupiter, again proving Ellen's 1846 astronomy vision to be either faked or Satanic. (See 1914.)
1909 - A.T. Jones, a partner to Elder Waggoner in the 1888 righteousness by faith movement that was squelched by the Church, finds out that Ellen White now offers (March of 1906) to answer any questions people might have about the problems they have with things she has written. He writes Ellen that by now he has heard about the second "testimony" she was "shown" that she was not to answer the questions that her first "testimony" had told her to answer. He confronts her with the fact that Dr. Sadler and Dr. Paulson had written to her on June 3 rd , 1906 and she had not answered their questions. Furthermore, he tells her that it is impossible for her to answer their questions because there are no answers:

FORGE is a fat burner made specifically for use with fasted training . It helps you lose fat–and "stubborn" fat in particular–faster, preserve muscle, and maintain training intensity and mental sharpness.
FORGE was created with three very specific goals in mind:
The proof of FORGE'ssuperiority is in the formulation. Every serving contains the following…
Research shows that HMB isan extremely effective anti-catabolic agent,which means it'svery good at preventing muscle breakdown. And this means you will recover faster from your workouts and experience less muscle soreness.Yohimbine. Citicoline.
Wrap Front Top Plus Size Melrose and Market Deals Cheap Online Clearance Perfect Cost Top Quality Cheap Online Clearance 2018 New W6bp1
shows that supplementation with CDP-choline improves attentional focus, and I included this in FORGEbecause most people find fasted training more mentally draining than fed training and CDP-choline can help counteract this.
The bottom line is FORGE helps you lose fat–and "stubborn" fat in particular–faster, preserve muscle, and maintain training intensity and mental sharpness.
Well, as you'll see, the general rules of supplements holds true with fat burners as well:If it sounds too good to be true, it is. If you don't and train correctly, no supplement can save you.
That said, if you take the time to inform yourself about what molecules have been scientifically proven to aid in fat loss, and then either find those in a fat burner or make your own using them, you can noticeably speed up fat loss withoutany great cost ornegative side effects.What did you think of this guide on fat burners?

The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) captured these image of a coronal mass ejection (CME), erupting on the left side of the sun early in the morning of Jan 31, 2013, as it was moving away from the sun into space. These images from SOHO are called coronagraphs, in which the bright light of the sun is blocked in order to make the dimmer structures in the sun's atmosphere, or corona, visible. Credit: ESA&NASA/SOHO
On Jan. 31, 2013 at 2:09am EST, the sun erupted with an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection or CME. Experimental NASA research models, based on observations from the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) and ESA/NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, show that the CME left the sun at speeds of around 575 miles per second, which is a fairly typical speed for CMEs. Historically, CMEs at this speed are mild.
Not to be confused with a solar flare, a CME is a solar phenomenon that can send solar particles into space and reach Earth one to three days later.
Earth-directed CMEs can cause a space weather phenomenon called a geomagnetic storm, which occurs when they connect with the outside of the Earth's magnetic envelope, the magnetosphere, for an extended period of time. In the past, CME's such as this have caused auroras near the poles but didn't disrupt electrical systems on Earth or interfere with GPS or satellite-based communications systems.
NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (http://swpc.noaa.gov) is the United States Government official source for space weather forecasts, alerts, watches and warnings.

OLATHE — A 41-year-old man has died after being struck by a hit-and-run driver on Interstate 35 in Johnson County.
Christopher Randolph Sr., of Kansas City, died at the scene of the crash, which occurred early Saturday. The Kansas City Star reported a 39-year-old woman with the victim also was hit but survived.
Randolph's car was pulled onto the right shoulder of the highway, and he was putting gas into the car when they were hit. The Kansas Highway Patrol has been seeking the driver of the car that struck the couple.
The fatal wreck occurred on the same day as the funeral for a Clifton Scott, a Missouri Department of Transportation worker who was killed after he was struck while helping at an accident scene on Interstate 70.

— There are few happier events than becoming a grandmother, and almost none that says quite so loudly "over the hill."
Ageism mixed with sexism is a toxic brew, but somehow tolerated. It's a joke, but not a funny one, that women age in dog years, which means that no male candidate will ever be as old as Hillary Rodham Clinton is now at 462.
The issue of age has come up with male candidates (and most are men). In 2008, a Gallup poll found that 23 percent of Americans believed that John McCain's age — he would be 72 on Inauguration Day 2009 — would make him a less effective president. In response, McCain lowered the median age of the ticket to 58 by choosing Sarah Palin, 44, as his running mate.
Ronald Reagan turned his age into a laughing matter (he was almost 70 on Inauguration Day 1981), batting back a question with a quip about not using his opponent's youth and inexperience against him. He so successfully finessed the issue that no one knew the chuckle and cocked head were masking the early stages of Alzheimer's.
Given that all the Republicans' obvious 2016 contenders are young and male, ageism and sexism are safe, if unfair, lines of attack for the party. Among its potential candidates are two fresh-faced wacko birds — McCain's description, not mine. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, 51, the pouty, curly-haired elf, who calls himself part of the Facebook Generation; and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, a 42-year-old with the chiseled features of a hawk. Then there's Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who looks even younger than his 43 years, and the boyish Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, 44. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie looks his age (51), but probably not for long. The camera adds 10 years and 10 pounds to a physique that doesn't need it. He didn't have his stomach stapled just for health reasons.
Clinton has weighed in on what being a woman adds to the rigors of campaigning. Hair (gray is distinguished on men; on women, not so much), makeup and averting wardrobe malfunctions require rising at least an hour earlier than a male candidate. Just last week, she remarked that the scrutiny of public life can be "dehumanizing and isolating." She hasn't seen anything yet.
What's most interesting to contemplate is the effect becoming a grandmother will have on Clinton's ambition. It's one of life's unfairnesses that a woman's peak career years often coincide with her peak childbearing years. Flextime and other efforts try to compensate for that, but no legislation is ever going to make a day longer than 24 hours or allow a mother to be in two places at once.
We may find out if a grandchild can impinge on a grandmother's peak presidential campaign years. Like children, grandchildren don't wait for you to be there to roll over, sit up, smile and say your name. Clinton's first stint in the White House provided time with family because the family lived above the store. No such luck with a grandchild. You have to go to them.
And maybe Clinton can have it both ways. She might be able to campaign, govern, attend the Group of 8 and be kept up all night by exploding Ukraines and still be able to zip off to read "The Little Engine That Could" to a grandchild.
But even bionic Hillary Rodham Clinton will realize that age mixed with a generational shift is a vivid reminder that our years on Earth are finite. Clinton and her husband have both glimpsed the Grim Reaper from hospital beds. She may think twice about how best to spend those dwindling years: at a chicken fry in Iowa and working rope lines in New Hampshire or dandling Chelsea's new baby on her knee.
The Clintons have signaled how aware they are of the torch passing to a new generation. Chelsea is now a principal in their enterprises. Clinton said "grandmother-to-be" is her most exciting title yet. Bill Clinton said that Hillary wanted to be a grandmother more than she wanted to be president.

HONG KONG (AP) — Hong Kong authorities have made their third big seizure of illegal ivory in three months, confiscating more than a ton of elephant tusks worth $1.4 million, customs officials said Friday.
Customs officers seized 779 pieces of ivory weighing 1,323 kilograms (2,916 pounds) in a shipping container that arrived at Hong Kong's port from Kenya after passing through Malaysia.
The officers discovered the ivory after X-raying the container, which was declared to be carrying architectural stones. Forty sacks holding the ivory were found inside five wooden crates, hidden under rocks.
The investigation is still continuing. No one has been arrested.
The discovery on Oct. 20 of nearly four tons in two shipments worth $3.4 million was the city's biggest seizure in a single operation. A shipment found in November was about the same size as the one found Thursday.
Hong Kong authorities also confiscated a shipment of ivory worth $2.2 million in 2011.
Wildlife activists say strong demand and high prices for ivory, which can fetch up to $1,000 a pound, have driven elephant poaching to record levels. Most illegal ivory is believed to be obtained through the wildlife trade in Africa and smuggled to China and Thailand for use as ornamental items.

Eastern Africa hosts hundreds of thousands of refugees whose survival is dependent on humanitarian aid and nature. Often cramped together on fragile land, the impact of high concentration of people on natural resources is considerable. While UNHCR provides food – nature provides firewood for the refugees to be able to cook their food.
In Kenya's Dadaab, the largest refugee camp in Eastern Africa, the depletion of forest resources as a result of the large numbers of refugees has fuelled and can fuel conflicts between refugees and the local, mostly pastoralist, communities. Shelter material provided to new Somali arrivals is hardly enough and refugees often have to travel for days to cut trees for additional building material. Recognizing the need to address the problem, UNHCR - the UN Refugee Agency - is working with Partners throughout Eastern Africa to restore the environment and find sustainable solutions. However, environment falls outside the immediate humanitarian mandate and the scale of activities is small compared to the impact.
IUCN together with UNHCR recently brought together 40 participants from eastern Africa to discuss the challenges and strategies to ensure sustainable restoration of the environment in refugee, IDP and returnee areas.
"Let us not forget what we have learned during the past four days' workshop. We assure you that we are going to do something. We are all burning to spread our wings and to make a case for environmental conservation," said Siyad Shide, Programme Manager GTZ Kakuma.
Challenges range from limited conservation and restoration resources and lack of environmental field officers to mobilizing the communities to take greater ownership and initiative in environmental activities.
IUCN has been piloting in Sudan, Uganda and Kenya Community Environmental Management Planning together with UNHCR and Implementing Partners as a step to enhancing the sustainability of environmental activities in refugee and IDP hosting areas. Giving the communities (refugees and host communities) together with the local authorities a say in the planning and implementation of environmental activities will enhance their ownership of conservation initiatives. At the same time, it ensures that activities are based on their needs.

When it comes to a quick, easy Caribbean getaway, the US Virgin Islands (St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix) are hard to beat — with American, United and Delta offering nonstop flights from the NYC area throughout the high season. This means you can go from winter chill to chilling on a beach in about four hours.
Of course, since it's the Caribbean, you'll be rewarded with picturesque white-sand beaches, a turquoise-tinged sea and warm breezes rustling the palm trees.
It'll be hard, we know, but put down the piña colada and rouse yourself from the lounge chair, because there's a slew of water sports awaiting: snorkeling, sailing, paddle boarding and kayaking among them.
And how about combining a couple of those activities with, say, a little history lesson? Yes, we know you didn't fly to a tropical isle to bone up on high-school subjects, but the guided Virgin Islands Eco-tours' Historic Hassel Island Kayak, Hike and Snorkel expeditions offer plenty of adventure — along with lots of cool factoids about what went down on the islands before they became a sun-worshippers' paradise.
Hassel Island — an attractive, mostly uninhabited spit of land near the busy Charlotte Amalie Harbor — doesn't look like much, but this tiny isle teems with history. Throughout the centuries, folks wanted to secure the harbor — it was an important entry point and stopover for ships in the Caribbean— and Hassel Island was a natural place to set up defenses.
The Danes first arrived in the 16th century, followed by the British in the early 1800s, who constructed forts and garrisons (as well as a leprosarium and a hospital). Then in 1917, the US took over and built naval facilities used throughout World Wars I and II. (Hassel was also occupied briefly, earlier this year, by the cast of "The Real World: St. Thomas," who stayed in one of the island's few private homes.)
I saw several of these historic structures on my three-hour tour, which kicked off with a relatively easy, 20-minute paddle that landed our group on the part of the island facing the inner harbor. A steep climb led us to the ruins of a Colonial-era British garrison, which included an old cemetery, a cistern, scattered shards of pottery and a clearing with spectacular views of neighboring St. Thomas.
Post-climb, we strapped on snorkeling equipment and had barely swum a few yards from shore before all sorts of creatures started popping up along the reef: sea anemones, colorful tropical fish, a school of big-eyed squid traveling together in an orderly line. (Best of all, we were the only ones out there, and since the group was small, I effectively had my very own, very knowledgeable snorkeling guide.)
Then it was back in the kayaks, where we made our way over to the island's Creque Marine Railway, an incredible feat of mid-19th-century engineering whereby ships (some weighing hundreds of tons) were hauled from the water for repair and maintenance. You can wander all around the site, where much of the facility still remains and is being restored: the slip's thick steel rails, the enormous steam-powered winch and flywheel, giant random pieces of machinery. In the grass, you can spot rusty anchors, an antique diving bell (it resembles a big upside-down flower pot) and even the shell of a MASH-era jeep.
Should you prefer to experience Hassel Island completely by sea rather than on foot, you can do that, too. But don't paddle around in just any old boat; opt for a see-through kayak, entirely molded in clear polycarbonate and mounted with LED lights. Clear Discoveries offers this nighttime kayak trip, in the harbor, in the shadow of Hassel Island, daily. On the 1½-hour tour, you can expect to see plenty of fish — glide right over 'em and just look down! — possibly a stingray or sea turtle, and even a sunken cannon or two. And even if you don't spot much underwater life, it's a peaceful (and unique) way to spend an evening.
But the easiest option is to stay someplace where all sorts of water activities are available right outside your hotel room. The Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas offers its guests free unlimited use of kayaks, paddle boards, snorkeling equipment, windsurfers, Hobie cats and more — and you can set off right from the resort's beach. Or, just book a sail on the Lady Lynsey, the Ritz-Carlton's luxury catamaran, where you can lay back and let someone else do all the work.
Virgin Islands Ecotours offers daily three-hour ($99/person) and five-hour ($143/person with lunch) tours, all equipment provided. 877-845-2925; http://www.viecotours.com
Clear Discoveries offers daily nighttime kayak tours at 7 p.m. Single and double kayaks are available. $45/person. 340-774-2990; http://www.cleardiscoveries.com

In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, many cities are taking a look at how they can better prepare for severe weather events. A low-tech – but effective – solution is to plant trees, says Sue Barton, ornamental horticultural specialist for the University of Delaware.
"A single mature tree can intercept several thousands of gallons of stormwater. Plant more trees in the right places and you can mitigate the impact of storm events," says Barton.
She points to the research of David Nowak, a forester at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Northern Research Station in Syracuse, N.Y., who has analyzed the role that "urban forests" play in controlling runoff and flooding, reducing the costs of stormwater management facilities, and decreasing water pollution.
An "urban forest" doesn't necessarily mean a tree-filled area the size of Central Park. Instead, researchers like Nowak look at the overall tree coverage in a community. The average urban tree canopy in the U.S. is 23 percent. But the tree canopy in the New Castle County metro area is estimated to be just 19 percent, and the city of Wilmington's tree canopy is 16 percent.
"Philadelphia and Wilmington have experienced water overflow situations after decent-sized rains, not just storm events like Hurricane Sandy," says Barton, a Cooperative Extension specialist and associate professor in the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences. "The stormwater management systems in these cities were engineered many years ago and they can't handle the water flow after a big rain – which means raw sewage and other organic material bypasses the treatment plants and go directly into streams."
Fixing antiquated stormwater systems isn't cheap. "One of Nowak's greatest contributions may be his research into the economic benefits of trees," says Barton. "He came up with a way to put a dollar cost on how much trees can save a community. He looks at the cost of trees and tree maintenance relative to the costs of updating aging stormwater systems."
In Wilmington, the Delaware Center for Horticulture (DCH) has been a driving force behind stormwater mitigation efforts that include planting trees and shrubs, establishing rain gardens and installing underground holding tanks. All three of these elements were included in a stormwater project at the Trolley Square Acme that was completed in June 2011.
The 9,000-square-foot project filters, slows and absorbs rain that falls on the roof of the Acme and its 1.42 acre parking lot. Comprised of 19 shade trees, more than 2,800 shrubs and smaller perennial plants, a rain garden, and underground holding tanks, the project captures an estimated 70 percent of the site's annual rainfall, providing relief to the city's combined stormwater and sewer system.
Gary Schwetz is a senior project analyst at DCH and was instrumental in the development and execution of the Acme project. His advice to those who want to use trees to intercept stormwater: "Think big."
Schwetz doesn't mean you need to plan a big project – like the 2,819 or so living things planted at the Acme — but that you need to include big trees.
"Large trees are better at absorbing rainwater and mitigating air pollution," says Schwetz. "A 20-foot tree will have eight times the environmental benefits of a 10-foot tree."
Of course, it can be tough to grow a big tree in the narrow space between a city sidewalk and the street, or in a city backyard. It can even be tough for big trees to do well in public spaces like Rodney Square, which little by little has seen its grassy area reduced and covered by pavers and other impervious surfaces.
Schwetz and fellow DCH staffers worked on an innovative landscape project that will help big trees flourish at Rodney Square. Other partners were the city of Wilmington and the Delaware Department of Transportation.
What makes the project different, says Schwetz, is the use of a new structural cell technology as the planting medium. These milk-crate-like structural cells can support sidewalks and hold a high volume of good quality soil, creating conditions in which large trees should be able to thrive.
Rodney Square isn't the only place the city of Wilmington has been planting trees lately. Some 250 trees were planted by the city in the last year and a half. And, one year ago, the city hired Mandy Tolino has its first-ever urban forest administrator.
"Trees and the green infrastructure improve water quality by helping slow water down during a storm, as well as by reducing erosion," notes Tolino.
Recently, she has been involved in a pilot tree trench installation at Brown Burton Winchester Park, at 23rd and Locust streets. On the surface, this tree trench looks like an ordinary row of trees. But underground, the trench is lined with a permeable fabric and filled with gravel. During a rainstorm, water flows through a storm drain to the trench, where it's stored in the empty spaces between the stones before slowly infiltrating into the soil below.
There will be a public dedication of the Rodney Square landscape project on Nov. 27 at noon. For more information, call the Delaware Center for Horticulture at 658-6262.

Big 12 Campus Correspondent
Kevin Williams is a distance runner at the University of Oklahoma. One look at him and you see the typical student-athlete. However, spend a few moments talking to him, and prepare to have your mind blown.
Williams has a knack for remembering bizarre and otherwise useless information.
"I remember random facts," Williams said, "and I feel the need to tell everyone them, all the time."
It all started with a comment here and there, just to give his teammates something to talk about on long runs.
"We talk about a lot of weird stuff on our runs," he said. "If you're going to be with people for two hours, you have to have something to keep it interesting."
For example, who knew, "there is less than a gallon of water in a cubic acre of fog?"
Williams did. It is just one of the many fun facts floating around in his head.
"After I said that, they all started making fun of me," he said. "Now, whenever I start doing it, they make fun of me. It's all just fun though."
Sometimes his friends and teammates enjoy testing his knowledge.
Chris Sweeney ran at OU and lived with Williams for two years.
"We used to come up with random trivia and pull up random music videos," Sweeney recalled of his days running at OU. "He would know exactly what it was, no matter how small the band is or non-mainstream it is. A vault of useless information is the perfect way to describe it. Anything you want to know about any topic, he will know it."
Williams' current roommate and teammate, Ryan Poland, describes him as a very interesting guy.
"He is a wealth of useless information. He watches a lot of weird TV shows, which I think is the source of his useless information, just unbelievable facts about animals. He's really into geography. He has a world map in his room. He just loves it."
Poland's fondest memory of Williams was in a team debate over which country owned the Galapagos Islands.
Williams immediately blurted out Ecuador, but his team laughed and called his bluff.
"We were like, 'you don't know that. Nobody knows that,'" Poland said. "Then someone whipped out their phone and looked it up. He was right."
Williams just smiled.
"I knew it was Ecuador," he said. "I don't know why."
Although he admits he knows more than he should, Williams does not have a true reason for it. He thinks it has to do with his interest in educational television.
"I remember things I watch on TV," he said. "They give me a hard time for watching educational shows, Animal Planet and Discovery Channel."
His favorite shows are the Discovery Channel hits "Cash Cab" and "River Monsters", two entirely different genres of television, but each with an unlimited number of trivial information.
Perhaps Williams' ability to remember such things should not come as much of a surprise. Distance runners carry the stereotype of being very intelligent, something proven at Oklahoma.
"Cross country has one of the highest GPAs on campus," Williams said," and the distance program and track in general do really well too. I guess it goes with the territory of distance running. If you're going to do that, you're going to do well in other things."
As fun and entertaining as Williams is, he is well respected amongst his teammates for his work ethic and other attributes.
"He's really tough," his roommate said. "He is one of the tougher guys on the team. He never gets hurt, runs smart and runs well."
Sweeney, now the assistant director of operations for the track and field team, said he looked up to Williams as an athlete in and out of practice.
"He's one of the most driven, motivated guys I've ever seen," Sweeney said. "It was easy to stick to my training when I lived with him. He is younger, but was my role model and helped me get a lot more out of my training."
Williams' hard work continues to pay off. He has seen a steady progression in his times, most recently at the Payton Jordan Invitational. Williams set a personal record with a time of 13 minutes, 39:87 seconds.
He claimed to not necessarily be amongst the fastest runners at the event, but says it was a tactical advantage that lifted him to a second-place finish.
"There were a lot of guys at Stanford that could have ran faster," he said, "but the race got tactical in the middle. The top-three guys, none of us led until the last lap. We were the most patient."
This use of tactic in running will continue to reward Williams for the remainder of his collegiate career.
As his senior season approaches, Williams continues to show increased smarts on and off the track. Whether his street smarts or track smarts carry him further in live has yet to be decided.

RISOUL, France — Rafal Majka of Poland won the 14th stage of the Tour de France – a second day of punishing Alpine climbs and over the highest point on the race – as Vincenzo Nibali again extended his overall lead by finishing second on Saturday.
Majka led a breakaway on the final climb in the 110-mile roller-coaster course over two infamous climbs, including the7,742-foot Izoard pass, and a finish up to Risoul ski station.
The one-two result was the flip of Friday's entree into the Alps: Nibali won, and Majka was second.
Majka's victory was the first on this Tour by his Tinkoff-Saxo Bank team, which lost main leader Alberto Contador when he crashed out injured on Stage 10.
"I am really very happy," Majka, who was sixth in the Giro d'Italia this year, said of his first Tour stage win. "I am a little tired, but … I had a calm first week to help Alberto. It broke my heart to see him leave."
Team owner Oleg Tinkov, a Russian businessman, choked up, wiped his nose, and put on sunglasses.
"We lost Alberto, we had to win," he said through a translator on French TV. "Rafal is a marvelous young rider. We will come back to try to win the Tour one day."
The stage didn't shake up the top five standings. Nibali strengthened his hold on the yellow jersey, making the Tour from here to the finish in eight days in Paris looking more and more like a race for podium spots behind him.
Nibali crossed 24 seconds behind Majka, followed by Jean-Christophe Peraud in third, two seconds slower. Two French riders, Thibaut Pinot and Romain Bardet, conducted a two-man sprint and crossed another 24 seconds back. American Tejay van Garderen was fifth, 54 seconds back of the Polish rider. Alejandro Valverde lost a minute to Nibali.
Overall, the Italian leads second-place Valverde by 4:37, and third-place Bardet by 4:50.
Sunday's stage offers some relief after the Alps: Stage 15 is a flat 222-kilometer (138-mile) course from Tallard to Nimes.

I know mixing prints has been a trend for a while, but I always feel like I'm ge
It's great that you're challenging yourself and trying to master new styles, especially because mixed prints will continue to be big for fall too! But first let's talk about a summery version of this look: florals. When combining floral prints, one rule of thumb is to pair a bigger print with a smaller one. So if you have a tiered skirt with an oversized print, wear it with a daintier shirt. Likewise, a bolder sweater with large, spaced-out flowers would look amazing styled with botanical trousers that have a smaller, busier print. Another great combo for transitional dressing-yes, it works now and is also on-point for fall-is a plaid-geometric mash-up. Aclassic flannel shirt and a pair of tiki-print shorts add up to one unexpectedly cute outfit or you could go for a buffalo plaid skirt worn with a retro tile print; it's totally up to you! My last recommendation is to try a fusion of two monochromatic prints. Simply pick a colour palette-black and white is an easy one-and then feel free to use any two prints you like. Again, in an ideal situation you'd have one slightly bigger print and one smaller one. For example, you could pair a standout sweater featuring big window checks with flowy pajama pant in a petite print, a zebra button-up with pajama pants, or a dramatic kaleidoscope skirt with a muted photo-print top. Just remember: the larger print will be the focal point of the outfit, so wear the bigger pattern on whatever area of your body you want to highlight!
