Breaking Bad 4.8 – Sangre por Sangre
The fact that this week's episode presented us with the same pre-game warning as the season premiere – "This program contains intense violence which may be unsuitable for some viewers. Viewer discretion is advised." – should've served as a tip-off for just about everyone that there was no way we'd make it to the closing credits without getting some sort of "holy shit" moment, but, holy shit, what a moment. Hell, even without the violence, this was an intense episode all around.
We begin the proceedings with a flashback to Episode 3.8, which took place in the wake of the Cousins' attack on Hank. What we didn't see at the time, however, was Gus's visit to see the Cousins' uncle, Hector "Tio" Salamanca, and tell him of their fate, saying, "This is what comes of blood for blood, Hector." And then we get a shot of the viscous red substance in question, floating through a swimming pool. If you're like me, you were already thinking, "Oh, this is gonna be good," and if so, then surely you weren't disappointed by episode's end.
Hey, what do you know? "Breaking Bad" finally takes time to acknowledge that Walt is still being treated for cancer. This scene really underlined how much he's changed since his initial diagnosis, however. So Walt's living his life as if he's in charge, huh? Yeah, he talks big, instantly dismissing the fears and concerns of the poor bastard who's sharing the waiting area with him, but the second we see him back in his usual environment, he looks completely lost and mostly hopeless…which is, at least momentarily, a look he shares with Gus when the latter gets a phone call to pop 'round the ABQ police department. With Walt, though, I have to wonder if he got a report on a cancer that he wasn't expected. But we'll get back to that.

Hello. I belive that it is common courtesy to announce one's self on internet forums so this is what I am doing. I also have a question to pose to anyone kind enough to read my topic. I am a C++ programmer with six months experiance. I am particularly interested in 3D graphics/game programming (especially with OpenGL) but I am interested in most aspects of programming (I am intrested in AI too). I want to learn Lisp (Common Lisp specificly) because a number of programmers told me that it is the best language ever, as do many other famous computer scientists. Although one person did tell me that Lisp is not really a general-purpose language, unlike C++ which is. My question is, would it be appropriate for my to learn Lisp and would I benefit from learning it? If so, I would be very greatful if you could give me a good tutorial for learning common Lisp. If I do end up using Lisp, I look forward to contributing to this forum in any way that I can.
Thank-you for reading my post.

Galbreath Projects
Biology • Culture • Education • Facility & Administration • Land & Water Management • Technology
The Center engages students, faculty, partnering organization, and community members in all aspects of running preserves. Projects emerge from the needs and opportunities of each Preserve and are made possible with funding through grants, contracts and donor generosity. For more projects and independent research, see Info Hub.
Galbreath Cultural Resource Plan
Archaeology Master's student, Stacey Zolnoski, is working with Preserve staff to draft a Cultural Resource Plan for the Galbreath Wildlands Preserve.
Galbreath Oral History Project
Fred Galbreath managed the Galbreath Preserve as a working ranch for 56 years. The project describes his land management philosophy and the activities he undertook while managing the ranch. Resulting data includes maps, transcripts, and a summary of land management practices.
Bob Johnson Oral History Project
Dr. Bob Johnson, a generous donor to the Center, was awarded an honorary doctorate degree for his life's accomplishments from California State University in 2011. A series of three interviews resulted in transcripts and video about his life, work, family, and passion for preserving the vision of his father-in-law Fred Galbreath at the Galbreath Preserve.
Master Plan for Galbreath Wildlands Facilities
With funding from donors Bob and Sue Johnson, we have begun a Master Plan for research and educational facility construction at the Galbreath Wildlands Preserve. RIM Architects was chosen to design a suite a energy efficient buildings that attracts faculty, students and researchers to study and learn about the lands of the Preserve.
Sediment Prevention in the Navarro Watershed
Road related sediments are a non-point source pollutant detrimental to Coho salmon and steelhead trout. With $700,000 in funding from the EPA, the Center is collaborating with the Mendocino Resource Conservation District to undertake road work and riparian restoration to reduce sedimentation in the Rancheria Creek Watershed.
Galbreath Special Status Species Assessment
2010 - 2011
An assessment of the potential for 110 special status species to occur on Galbreath Preserve was undertaken as part of environmental planning for Preserve facilities. The analyses were conducted to additionally serve as a the basis for a Preserve management plan. Resulting data include maps of potential habitat and assessments of the likelihood of each species to occur within Preserve boundaries.

There is a lot to be said about Ronnie Earle's indictment yesterday of Tom DeLay–and, by the way, a corrupt DA like Earle can procure an indictment of pretty much anyone he chooses, so I refuse to give Earle cover by attributing the indictment to the grand jury–but the most interesting question to me is, why did he do it?
To help the Democratic Party, obviously; but I mean the question more specifically. Earle has been conducting this "investigation" for three years. He indicted three of DeLay's aides a year ago. If he thought he could get away with indicting DeLay, why didn't he do it then, shortly before the 2004 election?
Earle has said more than once, including as recently as two weeks ago, that DeLay was not a target of his "investigation." So, what changed? One possibility is that, after three years, Earle suddenly found some evidence against DeLay. That's possible, I suppose, but certainly unlikely. Based on the indictment, which we linked to yesterday, it doesn't appear that Earle has any evidence at all. In all probability, the DeLay indictment will be thrown out at some point, and Earle will look like a fool, just as he did when he indicted Kay Hutchison shortly after she was elected to the Senate.
A year ago, and apparently as recently as two weeks ago, Earle did not choose to take that risk. So–once again–what changed? My guess, and it's only a guess, is that it has to do with the impending battle over the Supreme Court. It appears that the Democrats have decided, barring the extremely unlikely possibility that President Bush nominates a Democrat, to filibuster the next nominee, whoever he or she may be. Such a move would be unprecedented in American history, and carries considerable political risk.
I believe that the Democrats think they can get away with a filibuster because they have the Republicans on the run–nothing but bad news from Iraq (untrue, but that's the impression you get from the media), the fiasco of Hurricane Katrina (also untrue, as we're learning), Bush's sagging poll numbers, etc. In order to lay the groundwork for their filibuster, the Democrats are doing everything they can to create an anti-Republican frenzy in the press. My guess is that the DeLay indictment is part of that effort.
It would be interesting to subpoena Ronnie Earle's telephone records and see what Democratic Senators or representatives of the Democratic National Committee he has been talking to over the past couple of weeks.
UPDATE: Some goofball on a left-wing site attacked this post earlier today, claiming that I was criticizing Earle's indictment for not reciting the evidence against DeLay. I doubt that this guy bothered to read yesterday's post, which I referred to above, where I said:
You can read the indictment here. It is pathetic. The only time it mentions DeLay's name is when it alleges that he agreed to toll the statute of limitations! The indictment contains no suggestion of what he supposedly did that was illegal.
This lefty apparently is ignorant of the elementary difference between alleging what the defendant did that was illegal, which is normally done, and pleading the evidence you will offer to prove that he did it, which is normally not done. My criticism of Earle's indictment was not that he didn't plead his evidence, but that he didn't specify what, exactly, DeLay supposedly did. (The indictment does, in contrast, recite specific acts that were allegedly perfomed by the other defendants.)
This is a complaint that DeLay has repeatedly made about the indictment. Article 21.11 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure says, in part:
An indictment shall be deemed sufficient which charges the commission of the offense in ordinary and concise language in such a manner as to enable a person of common understanding to know what is meant, and with that degree of certainty that will give the defendant notice of the particular offense with which he is charged…
I assume that the indictment will be deemed barely sufficient to survive a motion for dismissal, but the fact that Earle has been unable or unwilling to specify what, exactly, DeLay did that was illegal, both in his indictment and when pressed for more information in his press conference, is one of a number of factors that, taken together, suggest to me that Earle has little or no evidence that DeLay did anything illegal.
Could I be wrong? Sure. That's why I called it a "guess." Time will tell whether Earle really has anything substantial to work with, or whether this indictment is just another attempt to grab headlines, like his indictment of Kay Hutchison.

The Dublin Counseling Center and Northwest Counseling Services plan to merge Jan. 1, but they don't expect anyone to notice much of a change.
The Dublin Counseling Center and Northwest Counseling Services plan to merge Jan. 1, but they don't expect anyone to notice much of a change.
The Dublin Counseling Center has operated in Dublin for about 35 years.
Northwest Counseling Services was founded in 1975 and provides mental health and social service programs to residents in Upper Arlington, Grandview, Worthington, Hilliard, Dublin and Northwest Columbus.
The merger is expected to strengthen offerings for patients and to more efficiently utilize funds.
Both groups support community members of all ages, focusing on families affected by mental illness, trauma, substance abuse and aging issues.
The merged organization will be known as Syntero, a slightly adjusted version of "syntiro," the Greek word for "support." However, both organizations will maintain their local offices and staffs.
Julie Erwin Rinaldi, Dublin Counseling Center executive director, said she had been meeting with other mental health agencies to discuss shared services.
"A lot of for-profit and nonprofit companies are doing that, especially with all the cutbacks we've been receiving," she said.
The opportunity to merge with Northwest Counseling Services came about when that organization's executive director left.
Interim directors have led Northwest Counseling Services, but Rinaldi will now serve as the leader for both groups.
"We're so similar in the number of years in place, similar programs (and) we're both strong financially," she said.
"It's a marriage between two equals. There are a lot of consolidations going on, but most are larger taking on small. This is equal.
"We'll be even better stewards of public dollars we get now."
The merger will allow the counseling centers to consolidate behind-the-scenes administrative services to save money and share programs.
"First off, we'll be better stewards of funding we get from (the Franklin County Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health) ADAMH board from our respective communities," said Bob Adamek, Dublin Counseling Center board chairman.
"There will be the back office consolidation of management of both facilities, so we'll be better stewards of funding.
"The benefits back to the community will be a great diversity of programs allocated to both areas that we service," he said.
For example, the Dublin Counseling Center doesn't have older adult programming, but Northwest Counseling Services does. That programming will be expanded into Dublin, Adamek said.
"We have some youth and trauma programming they don't have at Northwest Counseling Services," he said.
"Where we have a void, they have a great program we can fill that void with. It's a win-win for both areas."
Despite back-room operation consolidation between the two counseling centers, Rinaldi said no layoffs are expected.
"We don't anticipate any layoffs. We're both separate and distinct," she said. "We're both operating lean administratively.
"There will be some changing and shifting within jobs at the administrative level, but we don't anticipate layoffs,"she said.
The changes expected to take place with the January merger shouldn't be noticeable to the communities or the people served, Rinaldi said.
"When we first got involved in the early discussions, our board felt strongly they should keep our location here on Fishinger Road, and our name," said Hollie Goldberg, interim executive director of Northwest Counseling and long-time director of older adults programming for the agency.
"Our home base always has been Upper Arlington. We're well-regarded in the community and didn't want to do anything to confuse the public."
Goldberg said the merger will give clients additional access to specialist treatment and services and willmaximize both agencies' abilities to contract for lower-priced products and outside services such as software programs.
"We'll be able to provide better client care and be more efficient," she said.
"I don't think (clients will) notice any changes," Rinaldi said. "It will be seamless."
"We're not making any sweeping changes," she said. "There will be more options for them to tap into, but there will only be really good changes. Nothing will be taken away."
"We're not making any sweeping changes. There will be more options for them to tap into, but there will only be really good changes. Nothing will be taken away."

The latest "cute kid" YouTube video to go viral was posted by a mom who meant to show off her adorable toddler and smart parenting skills. Instead this mother who goes by Erica Boarman is getting an earful from commenters who think her parenting style is overly strict.
"Cute kid. Overbearing mom," Beau Siegelaub shares in the comments.
In the clip, Erica asks her 3-year-old son if he ate some candy sprinkles. The boy clearly stuffed some of the sweet stuff into his mouth as his face looks like a decorated cupcake, but he denies it as he gives his mom big puppy dog eyes.
Erica scolds her son, telling him that he shouldn't lie and she asks him again and again whether he ate the sprinkles. He continues to deny it. Erica's tone is firm and stern though she never yells at the boy.
Was she too harsh? You be the judge and take a look at the video above, but keep in mind that most any parenting expert will tell you that it's normal for toddlers, even gradeschoolers, to fib. For them, it's an easy and logical way to avoid punishment.
So how should parents deal with this behavior? After all, one of the greatest athletes in the world, Lance Armstrong, was just caught cheating and lying—and as parents the last thing we want is for our kids to follow in his footsteps.
I found some of the best advice on this topic over at BabyCenter, where Jan Faull, a syndicated parenting columnist and author of Unplugging Power Struggles: Resolving Emotional Battles With Your Kids, Ages 2 to 10, offered up a few tips on how to address lying with young kids (we're not talking about high schoolers here!):
1) Don't set your child up to lie. For example, if you see her break a vase, you already know what happened. Rather than asking, "Did you break the vase?" simply say, "I see that you broke the vase. Let's clean it up."
2) Of course, there will be times when you didn't see what happened (although you may have a pretty good idea). In these instances, share your feelings and tell your child what you want to know, rather than accusing her. For example, instead of saying, "You broke the vase, didn't you?" try, "I'm disappointed that the vase is broken, and I hope that if you know what happened, you'll tell me."
3) When your child does tell you the truth, don't forget to tell her that you appreciate her courage.

Mike have you ridden firewire hellfire,all above makes sense,had my fair share of toast,thanks tonymike dubs wrote:Tony,
All you will get is people nominating their current ride.
I ride in a onshore, x onshore spot most of the time, in my opinion you need something with a little bit more float and nose area to get over the white water. A quad might help, but personally I prefer thrusters, you also need a kite that's good upwind with a good bottom end to help you get out when it's big.
My current boards are BWS drifter and Mulcoy and bandit and noise kites. But I've owned and ridden the FireWire and Celaritas both of which were good.
But above all it's technique and practise, but there will be times when a lull comes just before a big wall of white water arrives and you're toast.

Tips to cure the winter blues
Three months into Permanent November (A.K.A., Global Warming, Vermont Style), this year it's even harder than usual to know how to have fun getting through the rest of the winter.
Usually we can rely upon typical winter activities — skiing, snowboarding, sledding or even just a nice walk in a snow-covered park — to get us through February and March.
But with little-to-no snow this winter, all bets are off.
One solution? I've been making do with a lot of outdoor ice skating.

In what may be the first recorded (and distinctly over-tweeted) perfect finale in television history, AMC's "Breaking Bad" came to a close Sunday night.
Not only did Vince Gilligan's five-season, hyper-violent prose poem to midlife male frustration tie up virtually every loose end in sight, it contained the Holy Grail of all storytelling: an Actual Moment of Truth. And not just this particular story's truth, but one that extended to the beloved and bloated genre Gilligan both elevated and mocked.
"I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it. And I was really ... I was alive."

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
It is Christmas Eve in Bethlehem in 2012. Tonight on Manger Road, in Manger Square and on all its thoroughfares, Bethlehem is lit with many-colored lights. Like rivulets they stream down the city's face, falling in-between vibrant shapes of snowmen and Santas, stars and trees. Why does Bethlehem weep luminescent tears disguised as twinkling strings of light?
Until one week ago there was not a single place in its public square that even gave a hint of the reason for this pagan day's redemptive transformation into a holy day. No manger scene, no God-incarnate baby boy. No creche, no cradle, no cross. Even the Church of the Nativity was decorated only by a single large tree. (About one week ago, a nativity scene was hastily erected next to the towering tree.)
Two thousand years after his birth there was, once again, no room for Jesus in Bethlehem.
Early this month Shari Khoury brought this observation to her husband's attention. Pastor Steven Khoury took note. He examined city streets and saw for himself what he had not noticed.
The Khoury's live in Bethlehem. Steven was raised there where his father, Dr. Naim Khoury, started Holy Land Ministries in 1980. During the past 32 years Steven, his family and the ministry's congregations have experienced opposition to the gospel of Jesus the Messiah, God's incarnate Word made flesh.
There have been threats and muggings, fire bombs and murder. Many believers have fled the region, but the Khoury's remain. Every Sunday, worship and teaching are broadcast from speakers atop their local church's steeple, clashing with Islamic calls to prayer.
On December 5, Steven Khoury made a decision. He composed brief words, commissioned graphic art, hired a printer. In the middle of the night and into next day's early morning light, workmen hung the composition on the city's largest billboard. Across an expanse of 1200 square feet, in Arabic and English too, it reads:
Jesus: born to die and rose again. Invite him in to your heart so that you too might live
And the response? Two weeks later, only days ago, Pastor Khoury received a call. Officials from the city were on the line, informing him that they were being asked to remove the sign.
That same day vandals cut power to lights that illuminate the sign at night. The owner refused to repair them, fearing they would only be cut again along with an escalation of damage to his property.
The print shop also received disturbing calls. Although the words were never spoken, the message was clear: take Jesus down.
Tonight the billboard is still up, lit now by portable lights from the back of a car. The cost is high. Thousands of dollars have been spent. So far individual donations to help with the expense total about $60.00.
In spite of public exposure on YouTube, radio, television and in written press, other Christian organizations in Bethlehem have reacted with resounding silence. So too Christian organizations throughout Israel.
Pastor Khoury has no regrets. "Scripture says that if we do not speak up for Jesus, for who he is and what he has done, stones will cry out. With God's help, I will not remain silent. I will not be a quiet one rebuked by shouting rocks."

High-end technology for efficient pressure measurement
Pressure measurement is an essential part of any process monitoring system. Based on market reports, variety of applications are expanding day by day. Due to special requirements and technical limitations in any industrial application, wide range of technologies offered and different techniques executed to provide a reliable, accurate and durable solution. Piezoresistive pressure measurement systems are one of the most common sensors for pressure measurement for a wide range of applications.
With growing need for development of equipment in the testing environment, MeasureX stands with its collar high, to claim to be a reliable source offering high-quality pressure measuring equipment across the globe. MeasureX piezo resistive pressure sensors are designed to serve in harsh environments and provide high accuracy measurement. Piezo-resistive pressure sensors are flexible enough to be used for absolute pressure measurement, vented gauge or sealed gauge pressure measurement.
What is Piezoresistive pressure sensor?
MeasureX Piezoresistive pressure sensors are developed based on MEMS technology. MEMS (Micro-electromechanical systems) is a process technology used to create tiny integrated devices or systems that combine mechanical and electrical components. MEMS sensors are one of the main categories of Micro-electromechanical systems developed to make them suitable for many new areas of application with high performance and significantly low price. MEMS Piezoresistive pressure elements fabricated using integrated circuit (IC) batch processing techniques can be made just a few millimeters in size.
There are different methods to manufacture silicon dies and producing the complete pressure transducer or transmitter to provide better performance. These techniques are improving day by day to meet new emerging applications. MeasureX implement state of the art technologies to keep the highest quality of the piezoresistive pressure sensors in the market.
What is Piezoresistive effect?
Lord Kelvin was the first person, discovered the change of electrical resistance in metal devices due to an applied mechanical load. This is the fundamental rule, describes how most of pressure sensors work. Most of direct method electric pressure measurement systems measure change of the resistance in proportion to applied pressure / strain on sensing element of the sensor.
In 1954, when single crystal silicon become the material of choice for the design of analog and digital circuits, the large piezoresistive effect in silicon and germanium was first discovered.
In semi-conducting materials, changes in inter-atomic spacing resulting from strain affect the bandgaps, making it easier (or harder depending on the material and strain) for electrons to be raised into the conduction band. This results the change in resistivity of the material due to strain. Within a certain range of strain this relationship is linear. Piezoresistive pressure sensors are measuring the change of resistance to measure the strain caused by applied pressure.
Where to use Piezoresistive pressure sensors?
Piezoresistive pressure sensors are suitable for a wide range of pressure measurement applications from less than 1bar to about 600bar. For very low range of pressure, capacitive or inductive pressure sensors would provide better performance and for the range higher than 600bar, strain gauge-based pressure sensors are better. We do have a choice of pressure transducers available to cater for all these very low to very high ranges also.
We are also known for quick delivery of pressure sensors worldwide as we always have a wide range of pressure sensors in stock, to meet urgent demands.

The rest of the week and into the weekend�s weather forecast for the Panhandle has been summed up as �lots of rain,� by Tiffany Hersey, Deputy State Meteorologist for the Florida Division of Emergency Management.
The rest of the week and into the weekend�s weather forecast for the Panhandle has been summed up as �lots of rain,� by Tiffany Hersey, Deputy State Meteorologist for the Florida Division of Emergency Management.
�Upper level low persists over the Southern U.S. through next week,� wrote Hersey. �There�s a stalled surface front in North Florida that stirs up rain chances; there�s an approaching disturbance from Mississippi Valley that adds to the rainfall totals; tropical moisture brings more rain to the State; and moderate rip current risk for some Florida beaches.�
5-day Weather Forecast
Tuesday - Thursday:
Dry air across Central and South Florida will keep afternoon thunderstorms to a minimum on Tuesday. Forecasted rain chances are between 0 percent and 30 percent, with the greatest chances along the West Central Coast and spine of the Peninsula. However, the Florida Panhandle will have an active sea breeze day as thunderstorms are fired off by an approaching front. The current forecast in this region of Florida calls for 40-60 percent chance of rain this afternoon with the heaviest rain occurring in the Western Panhandle.
This leaves the Panhandle with a high threat for lightning and gusty winds in some of the stronger storms that develop. Overnight rain chances across much of the state will dwindle by 8pm, however in the Panhandle lingering showers will persist throughout the night. Especially near the coast where a 50 percent chance for rain overnight exists.
The rainy pattern that sets up across the Panhandle today will spread South and East bringing greater rain chances to the rest of the state on Wednesday and Thursday. The bulk of the heavy rain will remain in the Florida Panhandle due to the placement of an upper level low-pressure system, a stalling surface front, and approaching disturbance from the Midwest.
These three weather systems will create a very wet and rainy pattern for North Florida throughout the next five days. A chance for flooding of roads and low-lying areas is also possible today and through the remainder of the week in the Florida Panhandle due to consecutive days of heavy rain.
Wednesday�s rain chances are 60-70 percent in the Panhandle, 50 percent for the rest of North Florida, and 20-30 percent in Central and South Florida. On Thursday rain chances increase statewide due to the weather pattern mentioned above in North Florida and the approaching tropical moisture from the Caribbean.
Statewide rain chances are between 40 percent and 70 percent with the greatest chances in South, West Central, and North Florida. Overnight on Wednesday and Thursday showers and thunderstorms will diminish by midnight; however lingering showers are possible in the Panhandle on both nights.
Tuesday and Wednesday will produce partly sunny skies for much of the state through the mid afternoon. This will keep temperatures in the mid 90s inland and lower 90s along the coast with heat indices near 100-105. By Thursday temperatures will be more moderate due to mostly cloudy skies and rainy weather. Highs in the upper 80s are forecast in North and South Florida with low 90s in the Central part of the state. Overnight temperatures will be seasonal each night with lows in the mid 70s inland with upper 70s to near 80 degrees along the coast.
Friday and Saturdays forecast is a bit tricky and heavily dependent on how things progress in the Tropics. The current forecast calls for a rainy start to the weekend, especially in North Florida. The upper level low is forecast to remain over the Southern U.S. throughout the weekend. In addition a stalled surface front In North Florida will help provide added moisture and disturbed weather to this scenario, only to be enhanced by a surface low-pressure system forecast to form in the lower Mississippi Valley on Saturday. With all of these rain makers so close to Florida confidence in a very wet Friday and Saturday is high.
Current forecasts call for a 50-60 percent chance of rain statewide on Friday. Saturday these rain chances will drop to 40-50 percent along the East Central and Southeast Florida coasts, while the rest of the state remains at a 50-60 percent chance. Mostly cloudy to cloudy skies will dominate the state on both days moderating temperatures. Forecasted highs are in the upper 80s. Places that do receive little glimpses of sunlight may reach the low 90s.
Overnight showers will dwindle by midnight for much of the state. Friday night North Florida may see some lingering shower activity with 50-60 percent rain chances. Lows will be seasonable in the mid 70s inland with upper 70s to near 80 degrees along the coast.
Rip Currents:
Onshore winds will generate a moderate risk of rip currents exists for Panhandle Beaches from Escambia County through Gulf County. This rip current risk is expected to linger through Saturday. If the system in the Caribbean develops, the rip current risks could increase to high levels by Friday and Saturday. Otherwise, the remaining Florida beaches will see a low risk of rip currents for the next 5 days.
Anyone who plans to enter the water should check their local rip current forecast before going to their destination. Remember that the safest beaches are the ones protected by lifeguards. Daily surf zone and rip current forecasts for all Florida beaches.
Drought & Fire Weather:
Although rainfall is expected to be rather light today, the increase in rainfall expected across Florida over the next five days will keep fire weather concerns at low levels for the next 5 days. According to the National Climatic Data Center, the Panhandle received record rainfall for the month of July, while the remainder of the State saw above average rainfall.
This coincides with the Advanced Hydrological Prediction Service, which is showing that Florida�s rainy season has been extremely effective at diminishing the statewide rainfall deficit from the start of the water year (October). Despite the excessive rainfall, a few portions of the State are seeing rainfall deficits of up to eight inches.
This is why the long-term Palmer Drought Index values indicate that Florida is either near normal or slightly moist. As the rainy season continues, rainfall forecasts over the next 3 months indicate that drought conditions are not expected to develop at this time.
Tropical Weather:
The National Hurricane Center has circled a broad tropical wave in the Central Caribbean with a 20 percent (low) chance for tropical development in the next 48 hours. The wave has a 30 percent (medium) chance for development in 3 to 5 days as the system moves into a more favorable environment. Model forecasts range greatly with this system.
The European model does not develop this system into much more than a weak wave, while the American and Canadian forecast models tend to strengthen it into a tropical system. Models seem to be trending towards a north-northeast track that would take this system into the gulf coast on Friday and Saturday.
The uncertainty in development and track are great since the system still remains weak and models have trouble forecasting weak tropical waves. Regardless of development or track Florida will still see plenty of rain over the upcoming days and the moisture associated with this system would only increase rainfall totals if it tracks closer to the Florida coast. Thus all interest in Florida should monitor the tropics this week.
Elsewhere in the tropics, another tropical wave is circled with a 10 percent (low) chance for development in the next 48 hours and a 20 percent (low) chance for development in days 3 to 5. This wave is tracking due west at 10 mph in an environment conducive for some development.

Clarkson University Engineering Team Places Second in Rehabilitation and Assistive Design Competition
An integrated design team from the Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering at Clarkson University claimed second place in the third annual Undergraduate Design Project Competition in Rehabilitation and Assistive Devices sponsored by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).
The Clarkson project was titled "Cost Effective Electrolarynx Design: A Feasibility Study."
The objective of the design effort was to create a low-cost electrolarynx for voice rehabilitation in patients who have undergone a laryngectomy. The electromechanical device utilizes an electrical actuator to create high-frequency vibrations of a diaphragm.
When the diaphragm is placed on the neck, sound produced by the vibrating diaphragm is transmitted through the neck tissue into the oral cavity, thereby enabling a person to produce intelligible sound through traditional tongue and mouth movements.
The prototype demonstrated significant cost savings over traditional electromechanical assistive speech devices that are already on the market, while also having the added flexibility of adjusting the vibration of the diaphragm in order to optimize the sound production on a patient specific basis.
The design team was comprised of mechanical engineering majors Janine Amell '13 of Schenectady, N.Y., Robert Griffin '13 of Hyde Park, N.Y., Madison Malfa '13 of Airmont, N.Y., Christopher Nycz '13 of Wallkill, N.Y., and Allen Osaheni '13 of Clifton Park, N.Y., and was directed by Associate Professor Kevin Fite and Assistant Professors Byron Erath and Laurel Kuxhaus. This marks the third consecutive year in which a team from Clarkson has placed in the top-two of the competition.
Six finalists for the competition were selected from 31 initial submissions based on a technical paper describing their proposed device and its impact on individual and public health. The paper addressed product need and market potential, development of a prototype device, and an economic plan for its commercialization based on market analysis.
The final competition for the six finalists comprised an oral presentation and prototype demonstration by each design team, and was held in June at the 2013 ASME Summer Bioengineering Conference in Sunriver, Ore.
The Clarkson students competed against finalists from the University of Michigan, Rochester Institute of Technology, University of Toledo, University of Utah, and University of Delaware. Clarkson is the only university that has advanced to the final competition all three years as well as the only university that has placed in the top-three, all three years.
As a finalist, the team received a $3,000 award from the ASME Bioengineering Division to defray the costs of traveling to the conference.
More information about the competition can be found at http://www.asmeconferences.org/SBC2013/UndergraduateCompetition.cfm
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

Story highlights
- Four members of Force India Formula One team caught up in Bahrain protest
- A petrol bomb is thrown near to vehicle returning staff from the race track
- One person involved in the incident has left Bahrain to return to the UK
- Force India say they will continue to take guidance from the sport's governing body
Two members of Force India's Formula One team have left Bahrain after a petrol bomb was thrown at one of the marque's cars during an anti-government protest.
A vehicle carrying four members of the F1 team became caught up in a demonstration on their way back to the team's hotel in the capital Manama after leaving the circuit where Sunday's Bahrain Grand Prix will be held.
The build-up to the race has been dominated by fears that civil unrest in the Gulf kingdom could have an adverse effect on safety for both teams and fans.
Last year's installment was canceled twice but the sport's governing body confirmed on Friday the race would go ahead as planned, despite tension on the country's streets.
Both the Force India team and local organizers -- the Bahrain International Circuit -- were quick to stress the team's vehicle had not been specifically targeted.
"The team was returning from the circuit last night," Force India press officer Will Hings told CNN. "There was some disruption on one of the highways and the vehicle was momentarily brought to a halt in the traffic jam.
"After a few minutes the incident unfolded and our crew returned to the hotel. Nobody was hurt and we were not a target. The incident was happening as we arrived but we were not the target."
Hings confirmed that two team members had returned to the UK after the incident on Wednesday evening -- one who was in the car and one who was not.
He added that Force India would continue to take take guidance from Formula One's governing body, the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA).
Most teams have maintained they are happy to race in Bahrain but one of Force India's drivers, Nico Hulkenberg, was quoted by BBC Sport as saying: "We shouldn't have been put in this position."
At a demonstration on Monday in Al Dair, in the north east of Bahrain, many pro-democracy protestors carried anti-F1 slogans. More action is expected to be planned around the weekend's event.
Bernie Ecclestone, the head of Formula One, has continually insisted that sufficient security measures are in place in Bahrain and that the sport had nothing to do with the politics of the country.
A statement from the Bahrain International Circuit confirmed the incident had taken place but underlined that the Force India group had not been singled out for any violence.
"They drove through an isolated incident involving a handful of illegal protestors acting violently towards police," it read. "During this incident a Molotov Cocktail landed in the vicinity of their vehicle.
"After approximately two minutes, the route was cleared and the vehicle carried on its journey. There were no casualties and eyewitness reports from the scene confirmed that their vehicle had not been targeted itself.
"The BIC would like to reiterate its confidence in the relevant Bahrain authorities in their ability to deal with such isolated incidents and can confirm that all the usual precautions are being taken around the track to ensure the level of security is maintained."

By Joanna Glass, leader of API of Garner, North Carolina
Editor's Note: This Letter to the Editor was written in response to an article published on The Attached Family on July 28, 2009, "TV as a Teaching Tool?" The topics on The Attached Family are open for discussion, and readers are welcome to write articles in response to any of the articles published in this ezine. Attachment Parenting International will clarify any points related specifically to the Eight Principles of Parenting; but with topics that do not fall directly under the Eight Principles, we aim to foster a healthy discussion of ways that parents can strengthen their attachment with their child. To submit a response for publication, e-mail email@example.com.
We all hear the negative about television. Television is associated with obesity, sleep problems, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), violent behavior, and poor school performance. Is there truth to it? Should we blame our problems on electronic media?
Author's Note: I wrote to my fellow leaders and to API Headquarters asking about this issue and approached them with some of my feelings about what I have learned over the years. They were very open and receptive to hearing some of the alternatives to some of the negative information that is being brought up about this subject, so I wrote this article. It is a bit longer than I planned. The wonderful view of API is that families of varying beliefs can participate. It is open to everyone. It is an online community that has not created a homophily atmosphere, which has begun to plagues so many other sites and groups.
API groups and forums leave so much room for diversity, and with diversity, we have room to grow as people and as parents. If we homogenize everything and only associate with parents who believe the same thing, we are only hurting ourselves and our children, for our children are not us, they are their own person who craves exposure to new information.
ADD and ADHD
The information that the American Academy of Pedatrics based their statement on was shown not to be factual. This information can be obtained directly from the ADHD sites and the author of the "study" himself.
Dimitri Christakis, MD, an associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Washington and co-director of the school's Institute for Child Health, admits that his study was limited. He based his research on a previous survey of about 1,300 mothers who recalled the television habits of their children in early childhood. Such after-the-fact reporting is considered highly fallible, because parents often over- or under-report the amount of TV watched.
What's more, the study linked TV-viewing to general attention problems rather than to diagnosed ADD. Study participants were never asked whether their children had Attention Deficit Disorder. Instead, the study looked at five kinds of attention difficulties, including "obsessive concerns" and "confusion," neither of which are core ADD symptoms.
Nor did the study consider the kinds of programs children watched. Educational programs, such as Blue's Clues or Mr. Rogers, which have a slower pace, rely on storytelling, and avoid rapid zooms, abrupt cuts, and jarring noises, weren't differentiated from more aggressive programming. Neither did the researchers consider whether TV-viewing and attention difficulties presented a chicken-or-egg situation. According to an article in ADDitude Magazine, "Living Well with ADD and Learning Disabilities," some critics suggest that younger children with pre-existing attention deficits may be drawn to watching TV, while solving simple puzzles or concentrating on games would be an uphill battle. They add that parents of these children might turn to the TV for relief more frequently than parents of kids who have less trouble staying focused.
Another interesting article about ADD and technology by Joel Spolsky stated: "ADD is often marked by an inability to focus on a given task or, in the case of ADHD, a tendency to hyperfocus and then lose complete focus. Just as with multiple personality, mainstream media has made autism and ADD appear to be commonplace and everywhere.
Technologists have also adopted and promoted these concepts, marking them as valuable to the way of geek life. Many of you are staring at your laptops, multitasking. At computer conferences these days, like the one where this talk was given, it's not unusual for 80% or 90% of the audience to be using laptops for something during the presentations."
Our society requires that we be able to not have complete focus at all times. Many parents assume that their child sitting very focused on the television program is a lack of focus, when in fact it is not. We disrupt them and pull them away, which actually creates the problem with paying attention. Just because it may not be something that we are interested in doesn't mean it is any less important.
Parents will excuse situations by commenting that if it is educational, then it is OK, but as a child who was brought up with this concept, I lacked one most important lesson: The lesson of doing something for the joy of it and because it was what I wanted, something I am learning to do now. For a child, play and joy are the first and most important lessons in life. As a parent, you may not learn something out of watching a children's program or playing a computer game, but your child may: personal happiness – self happiness that was not created only because you told them it was something they could be happy about. Once I found out how important this was to my child, I found absolute joy in watching and participating with their digital life. I don't always get it, but what I get is a connection and a bond with my child. They know I trust them enough to find their path and their own joy and that it doesn't impact my personal beliefs or make either of us wrong.
Television does not promote violence. Children watching violent programs without their parents taking the time to explain things to them can create situations where violence can occur.
Dozens of books have been written, hundreds of studies published, and hundreds of thousands of invectives thrown by each side towards the other. Despite the extensive research, video games have not been proven to be harmful or to cause violence. The persistence of opponents in trying to pin society's issues on television and video games is an unfair attempt to demonize a new media for issues that it has not caused.
What makes kids smack others and maybe grow into homicidal adults? Not the tube, says new research, but a lack of social skills – something that television can also provide as an increasing number of families have lost this ability, even down to the basic act of knowing how to invite someone to their home or even how to ready a home for company.
All babies are born with violent tendencies, which most kids learn to control as they grow older, a University of Montreal professor who has spent more than 20 years studying 35,000 Canadian children told ScientificAmerican.com. Those who don't or can't learn are the ones who become violent. Author
Richard Tremblay states: "It's a natural behavior, and it's surprising that the idea that children and adolescents learn aggression from the media is still relevant. Clearly, youth were violent before television appeared. We're looking at to what extent the chronically aggressive individuals show differences in terms of gene expressions compared to those on the normal trajectory. The individuals that are chronically aggressive have more genes that are not expressed." This is an indication "that the problem is at a very basic level," he added.
A pregnant woman's smoking, drinking, poor nutrition, or exposure to excessive stress can cause or contribute to a fetus's abnormal genetic development, Tremblay said. Damaged genes can prevent a child from learning skills for self-expression, reducing his ability to interact socially, and thus make him prone to violence. Tremblay cited genes involved with language acquisition and development as an example; children who can't speak well get frustrated easily and can erupt violently as a result.
Violence is also passed on. Parents who have violent tendencies pass these along to their children. The prisons are filled with people who were abused as children and grew up to be abusive adults. This is not caused by television but by the lack of intervention and education for families to not use violence as a means to raise their children or solve their problems. We are a country based on fear and violence. We tell our children that we solve our problems by hitting them or hitting each other, and then get upset when they do it and blame television or other media. Violence has been around longer than television.
The Bible has more violence in it than most television programs, and I don't often hear people saying "close that, turn it off, don't read that, or you may become violent." They actually take the time to talk about it with their children.
And I have even seen parents and churches use violence to force belief. It isn't just the Bible, but all literature. Humans are naturally drawn to violence because we are raised with so much of it. For more information about the history of it and how violence perpetuated in American homes, you may want to read Behind Closed Doors: Violence in the American Family.
Poor School Performance
Poor school performance has been blamed on so many things instead of what it really happening — that the American School systems are failing our children.
Children do not do well in school, because school has become a place where everything is controlled. Instead of children learning naturally and at their own pace, they are forced to learn information that they are not yet interested in or information is being put into them at a pace that they are not able to handle. The hours are too long and the methods being used are cookie-cutter ,not taking into account the individual. Children are being told what they can do from the moment they wake up until the moment they go to sleep. Even the simple act of using the bathroom has become an issue.
Having to ask for permission to use a bathroom is a humiliating and very strange thing to do, something we have gotten use do as adults.
School is a place where all of your rights are stripped when you walk through that door. This isn't conducive to learning. I have heard parents say that if children had complete control over when they could use the bathroom, there would be chaos. Maybe now there would be, as children have lost the ability to control themselves because we as adults have told them they can't.
Then there are teachers. Many are not qualified, because it is such a low-paying job. It used to be thought that people would teach because they loved the job, not for the money, but when a family can't afford to pay their rent, why would they want to teach? So we lose many of the better qualified teachers to jobs that can pay them for that knowledge.
One of the reasons behind our choice to homeschool: My husband worked for the Board of Education on a very high level seeing how those people were paid in excess of over $100 an hour and teachers paid next to nothing and zero money being spent on books. Classrooms were forced to share one book per class of students.
The food in most of our schools is some of the lowest grade food available. We know that healthy foods create a healthier brain and learning environment, but yet we feed our children the lowest quality foods. They have created environments where they have taken disruptive students and children who were not learning well in regular schools and put them into a school where they served healthy organic foods and it was proven a success. The food in our school systems is also another reason why our children are obese, not television.
Parents can do more to make changes in the system. One or two parents may be, but as a community, it is not happening. There are parents who feel they can't do anything to help, but they can. No matter how small it may seem, everything you do to help your school or community can add to the bigger mixture of everyone else doing something small. Parents can look into charter schools and other educational opportunities for their children. My older children did public school until we moved to where we now live, and then after a year of absolute horror of the public school system here, we opted for charter schools. For our youngest we are homeschooling, actually unschooling.
Some Other Personal Thoughts
Are boundaries an issue or an answer? Are limits? It is more that the parents are not interacting and not discussing with their children what they are viewing and what their feelings are about it. I am not saying a three year old should watch a horror movie, but a teen might want to and wouldn't it be better for a parent to say learn how to explain these situations to their child instead of him getting that explanation from someone or somewhere else?
I prefer not to dictate what my child watches in bits and pieces. I used to feel that way, and I realized I was not allowing my child to find themselves. I was trying to force them to be clones of myself, something they did not want to be and it caused more problems. For me, this was controlled parenting.
I have seen children crushed by parents because they have told them, this show isn't good or this part is not good and the child really liked them. They felt crushed, because the parents were disapproving of something they loved.
I have also watched children who have limited TV and the way some parents disrespect their child. They walk up to the television in a middle of a show and turn it off, saying that is enough, choosing what the child's limits are, telling the child that she is incapable of knowing who she is and what she enjoys. I then have not only witnessed, but have been an unwilling participant in, the child's outburst.
At more than one play date, the child starting hitting the other children who were allowed to continue watching programs that were playing on a public TV. The parents had set up a hostile angry environment. The parent's reasoning was she was unable to control herself, so she knew her child would not, either. She had set up a self-fulfilling prophecy that she is passing onto her child. Perhaps the parent had not learned any self control because she never took the time to learn self control. I have also seen parents who fear that their child will become something they do not want them to be or learn that there is a lifestyle different than their own, creating a non-diverse household. Not all of us are supposed to like the same thing. That is why there is so much variety in life.
I had limited my older two children, and it backfired completely, just as every other family I knew who did the same thing had happen. Our children never learned to limit themselves or control themselves. I was always doing the controlling for them – the same way that I and so many others were raised.
With my son Ronnie, I have done the exact opposite. Some days he will watch a couple of hours and some days nothing at all, but I don't say "no" or comment in any way. He doesn't have access to violence, but he isn't interested. He chooses what programs he wants to watch on Noggin and the Public Broadcasting Service, and some of them I may not "get" but he does and that is what is important.
He is not obese, but still, I don't think the problem with obesity is television. It is lack of activity and lack of affordable activity for most families and so many families not being able to afford better quality foods. I don't see the community centers like I used to back in New York when my girls were younger. Everything is a paid for activity that most families cannot afford or cannot get to, so children are stuck at home with little to do and with lower grade foods that tend to not build energy and promote activity. The schools have taken away most of the activities, and sports are such an expense for so many families. Not all children are great at soccer, hockey, basketball, and football where the last of the physical activity money is being spent, and most of that is coming from parents who raise funds for them. I would love to see that same passion of fundraising come into play for books. But, back on topic, maybe the schools should have nature hikes each day for an hour, something all students could participate in without feeling inadequate or being forced to compete.
Children who binge-eat are generally from households where control is in every part of their lives, including their choices in food. They never learn to control themselves, and I would like to say from day one, their parents are controlling what they eat when, but it usually starts the moment Mommy stops breastfeeding. That is the point where mothers no longer trust their children and tell them when they are hungry, what they are hungry for, and when they are full. They stop trusting them to know when they are tired and when and where they will sleep. This is very confusing to small children who, up until that point, have been given absolute trust. Just as with adults, for small children, this leads to depression, shame, and guilt, which then can lead to inactivity and overeating and other eating and sleeping disorders and anger.
Blaming television or digital media is easy to do. It is so easy to be anti-something, but being for something and finding real solutions instead of saying "no, don't do this and don't do that" would be much more effective.
Commercials and advertisement are important. If we truly do not believe in their use, we have no business using them ourselves. We project our fear of not being able to control ourselves around commercials onto our children.
We, as a society, have no right to dictate what advertisement is okay and which one isn't. I don't like fast food, but I have no business telling Sesame Street that they can't take that grant from McDonald's because parents are not giving enough to support them.
Or what about TV shows that create toys? They do so for a reason. Children like to identify with their surroundings, and those toys offer this possibility outside the moment they are watching the show. Also, these toys offer employment to the people who make them — in many cases keeping a roof over a family' head. Not everyone has the luxury of living in a beautiful home being able to sit back and say, "Well, making a toy based on the movie is just consumerism and wrong. Can't there just be a TV show and a movie without it?"
It may be fine for one family or in reality that one person, but what about what the child wants or another family wants, or the family who is dependent on the income from making that toy. Again, I was anti-toys based on movies, but thankfully my daughter Jackie, now 22 years old, helped me to see the light in the situation: the good that the toy brought to the economy, the jobs it provided throughout the process, and then most importantly, the joy it brought her and her little brother.
Turning off the TV while the commercials while they are on does not teach our children about the commercials and does nothing to change the way they are broadcast. Changing the channel does not either. It just teaches children to turn it off or turn away and do nothing to fix it. Even small children understand more than we give them credit for. If they can understand enough to want something they see on a commercial, why do we deny them an explanation of why commercials exist? At what point do we decide that we are just so much better or smarter than they are and should this be a message we project to our children?
For small children, yes, PBS and commercial-free channels are great, but if you are watching them, then hopefully you are supporting them, even if just a few dollars a year. Living in a commercial-free world has a price, and as parents, we need to be willing to pay for it. I asked more than 70 parents during one of our events last year and not one of them gave to PBS, but all of them watched it. I can't say I was surprised when I said that our local group was in financial crisis, that no one wanted to help raise funds. There seems to be a disconnect where when people think free, it means it costs nothing. Someone always has to pay.
The problem with keeping the flow with this attraction and not opening our minds to other views and possibilities is that we are cutting ourselves off from reality and diversity.

Heat 1/3 cup of oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add half of the eggplant and toss to coat in the oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Saute the eggplant until it is golden and tender, about 10 minutes. Decrease the heat to medium. Add half of the garlic and saute until it is tender, about 2 minutes longer. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggplant mixture to a large bowl. Repeat with the remaining 1/4 cup oil and the remaining eggplant and garlic.
Add the sausage and wine to the same frying pan. Cook over medium-high heat until the wine evaporates and the sausage is brown, breaking the sausage into pieces with the back of a spoon, about 8 minutes. Add the sausage, marinara sauce, and crushed red pepper to the eggplant mixture, and toss to combine.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the angel hair and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until pasta is still slightly crunchy and undercooked. Drain. Toss the angel hair with the eggplant mixture. Cool completely. Add the mozzarella and Parmesan and toss to combine.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Roll out 1 pastry sheet on a floured surface to a 13 1/2-inch square. Transfer to a 9-inch springform pan, allowing the excess pastry to hang over the rim. Spoon the pasta mixture into the pan. Place the second pastry sheet atop the pasta filling. Pinch the edges of the pastry sheets together to seal. Trim the overhanging pastry edges to about 1-inch. Fold the pastry edges in to form a decorative border. Cut a slit in the center of the top pastry to allow the steam to escape.
Bake until the pastry is brown and puffed on top, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Let stand for 20 minutes. Remove the pan sides and serve.

Though sales for the new 2013 Acura ILX have been anything but stellar, reports suggest the Japanese automaker is plotting a major powertrain change that may help turn things around for the premium compact sedan.
Acura plans on dropping the 2.0-liter I-4 from the lineup, as John Mendel, American Honda executive vice president said its underpowered, and consumers dont see the value, to Automotive News. This could mean the racier 201-hp 2.4-liter will replace the less-inspiring mill to further set the ILX apart from the 140-hp Civic.
Currently, the more potent 2.4-liter unit is exclusively paired with a six-speed manual transmission, but Mendel also hints that a 2.4 automatic is in the works. Making such changes could help catapult ILX sales, which arent close to hitting the initial target of 30,000 units a year. Were hitting two-thirds of our expectations, but were growing every month and catching on more, Mendel told Automotive News.
Acura spokesman Chuck Schifsky tells us a different story, however. The ILX is slowly getting up to where we want it to be, and its taking quite a while to get the awareness built up, but the 2.0-liter isnt going anywhere. As for a 2.4 automatic, Schifsky says theres no plan for that, either.
