Fifth-Generation NCAR / Penn State Mesoscale Model (MM5)Entry ID: MM5_PSU_NCAR
Abstract: The PSU/NCAR mesoscale model is a limited-area, nonhydrostatic or hydrostatic
(Version 2 only), terrain-following sigma-coordinate model designed to simulate
or predict mesoscale and regional-scale atmospheric circulation. It has been
developed at Penn State and NCAR as a community mesoscale model and is
continuously being improved by contributions from users at several ... universities
and government laboratories.
The Fifth-Generation NCAR / Penn State Mesoscale Model (MM5) is the latest in a
series that developed from a mesoscale model used by Anthes at Penn State in
the early 70's that was later documented by Anthes and Warner (1978). Since
that time, it has undergone many changes designed to broaden its usage. These
include (i) a multiple-nest capability, (ii) nonhydrostatic dynamics, which
allows the model to be used at a few-kilometer scale, (iii) multitasking
capability on shared- and distributed-memory machines, (iv) a four-dimensional
data-assimilation capability, and (v) more physics options.
The model (known as MM5) is supported by several auxiliary programs, which are
referred to collectively as the MM5 modeling system.
A schematic diagram (a pdf file, to be opened by Adobe Acrobat Reader) is
provided to facilitate discussion of the complete modeling system. It is
intended to show the order of the programs and the flow of the data, and to
briefly describe their primary functions. Documentation for various programs in
the modeling system is available online.
Terrestrial and isobaric meteorological data are horizontally interpolated
(programs TERRAIN and REGRID) from a latitude-longitude mesh to a variable
high-resolution domain on either a Mercator, Lambert conformal, or polar
stereographic projection. Since the interpolation does not provide mesoscale
detail, the interpolated data may be enhanced (program RAWINS or little_r) with
observations from the standard network of surface and rawinsonde stations using
either a successive-scan Cressman technique or multiquadric scheme. Program
INTERPF performs the vertical interpolation from pressure levels to the sigma
coordinate system of MM5. Sigma surfaces near the ground closely follow the
terrain, and the higher-level sigma surfaces tend to approximate isobaric
surfaces. Since the vertical and horizontal resolution and domain size are
variable, the modeling package programs employ parameterized dimensions
requiring a variable amount of core memory. Some peripheral storage devices are
also used.
Since MM5 is a regional model, it requires an initial condition as well as
lateral boundary condition to run. To produce lateral boundary condition for a
model run, one needs gridded data to cover the entire time period that the
model is integrated.
MM5 has been used for a broad spectrum of theoretical and real-time studies,
including applications of both predictive simulation and four-dimensional data
assimilation to monsoons, hurricanes, and cyclones. On the smaller meso-beta
and meso-gamma scales (2-200 km), MM5 has been used for studies involving
mesoscale convective systems, fronts, land-sea breezes, mountain-valley
circulations, and urban heat islands. The model allows for multiple levels of
nesting for cases involving scale interaction. Since the model is designed
primarily for research applications, modification and development will

- England v SA, 3rd Test, Lord's, 4th day
England wobble as South Africa take charge
England 315 and 16 for 2 (Trott 6*, Bell 4*) need 330 more runs to beat South Africa 309 and 351 (Amla 121, Finn 4-60)
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
The plotting has been going on for years and the final campaign got underway at The Oval a month ago, but the phase when South Africa truly believed that they were about to go top of the Test rankings, and displace England in the process, lasted a matter of 13 overs in the polite atmosphere of a Lord's Test on a Sunday.
In that time, England, faced by what for them would be a record fourth-innings run chase of 346 to win the final Test at Lord's and level the series, lost Alastair Cook and their captain Andrew Strauss to limp to the close of the fourth day at 15 for 2.
Vernon Philander found inswing with the new ball to dismiss both England openers lbw, leaving Cook motionless and Strauss strokeless. Any captain can be forgiven an error of judgment after spending much of the past month wondering how England would ever bowl South Africa out, but his passive exit felt like the official concession of a series.
England need another 329 runs at about 3.6 runs an over on a fifth-day pitch when the average score in this Test has been below three. They must also do it against a South Africa pace attack which has proved itself the best in the world, marshalled by a captain, Graeme Smith, whose fortitude is surely about to be rewarded. They must also do it without the potential for the extraordinary that Kevin Pietersen occasionally brings. It is a big ask for team spirit and unity.
England's bowlers must feel mentally and physically battered, relieved perhaps that this was not a five-Test series. In the opening scene of the Coen brothers' movie, O Brother, Where Art Thou? A chain gang in 1930s Mississipi is seen breaking rocks while singing Po Lazarus, a spiritual song. Bowling at South Africa throughout this series has left England's badly in need of a spiritual song as they have repeatedly foundered on the array of boulders that constitute South Africa's batting line-up.
Hashim Amla's unyielding 121 in South Africa's second-innings 351 condemned England on what began as London's hottest day of the year to a disheartening experience on a sedate and comparatively reliable pitch of chipping away against rock with the sensation that balls and chains were around their feet.
No team has chased down 345 to win a Test at Lord's - although the 1984 West Indians did rampage to 344 for 1 thanks to a double century by Gordon Greenidge, a man who as the spiritual observes about Po Lazarus, took some arresting.
Amla was 57 overnight and when he back-cut Jonathan Trott to reach his hundred in the first full over of the afternoon - Trott bowling because the second new ball was only two overs away - it was his first boundary of the day. He dealt in placement, a batsman of immense certainty and subtlety.
That England could retain any hope of victory as the day progressed owed much to Steven Finn. Just when it looked as if South Africa were bound for safety at 259 for 4, a lead of 253, he produced a pre-tea spell of 3 for 19 in seven overs, including the vital wicket of Amla for 121, to keep depression at bay.
Finn does not strike you as a man much given to spiritual songs - he does not even look as if he would make much of a fist of karaoke - but once Stuart Broad and James Anderson had taken that new ball to no avail, he was introduced into the attack and plotted England's last, desperate attempt to escape.
In the first innings, he cut one back to bowl Amla through the gate; this time he straightened one to bowl him past the outside edge. AB de Villiers was unhinged by a ball that bounced and left him, giving Strauss, at first slip, his 121st catch, a record for an England outfielder, taking him beyond Ian Botham and Colin Cowdrey. Jacques Rudolph, a left-hander attacked from around the wicket, edged another ball that held its line and edged to the wicketkeeper.
Finn had taken four wickets in the first innings, but he had struggled for rhythm, just as he had in the second Test at Headingley, his habit of nudging the stumps with his knees at the bowler's end not helping his state of mind.
At Lord's, his home ground, his presence returned, as did his ability to leave the righthander. He bowled well from the start of the day, as if he recognised that this was England's final opportunity, and a slim opportunity at that, and the urgency of the situation made him remember what he was: a fast bowler.
But Philander struck out successfully for the second time in the match, impressing on England that Amla's century had all but settled the series. Amla had been missed on 2 down the leg side by Matt Prior the previous day, his first drop standing back for two years, and he made England suffer. His consummate response to all that England's offspinner, Graeme Swann, could throw at him, was a major indication of South Africa's authority.
England made their task more difficult with another blemish in the field. Anderson's fumble, diving forward to intercept a simple catch at short midwicket off Swann left the batsman, De Villiers, on 8, looking on in wonder. Strauss also missed a very difficult chance at slip, also off Swann, when Duminy, on 4, carved at the offspinner and the ball struck Strauss on the wrist at pace. England needed to accept every opportunity going.
It took England another 17.2 overs after tea to remove South Africa's last three wickets. Philander's dismissal for a spirited 35 owed much to good fortune as Anderson overbalanced slightly in footholes that have troubled him periodically throughout the match and delivered a wide long hop which Philander carved to Jonny Bairstow at backward point.
Morne Morkel fell to a smart piece of wicketkeeping from Prior, who waited for his back foot to lift in the air momentarily before removing the bails. Andersom cleaned up Imran Tahir to the roars of the Lord's crowd, the fourth successive full house, for who hope sprang eternal.
Before lunch, South Africa lost only the nightwatchman Steyn - not much more than a pebble as South African batting rocks go. Treated to a barrage of short balls, he had been struck on the top hand the previous evening and suffered another blow in the same spot from Finn.
He clung on gamely for nearly nine overs until Broad produced a rearing delivery which he could only lob gently to James Taylor at short leg. And, as for the injury, it was not even his bowling hand.

In November 2004, Lt. Colonel Jay Kopelman entered Fallujah to battle insurgents for control of the city. It was there that he met and adopted Lava, a five week old puppy abandoned during the days before the invasion. Following his return to the United States, based on his experiences in Iraq, Jay was asked to help train the Marines who would return to Iraq as advisors to the Iraqi armed forces and police. By the end of his military service, Jay made multiple overseas deployments to Okinawa, Kuwait, Jordan, Qatar, and twice to Iraq, participating in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom II.
In 2008, he wrote From Baghdad to America: Life Lessons from a Dog Named Lava in which he discusses the emotional repercussions of war. Jay contributes his time and Lava's name recognition to the Helen Woodward Animal Center and Canine Companions for Independence to help raise awareness and money for abandoned and assistance animals. He also recently served on the board of directors of the Enduring Freedom Killed In Action Fund which provides grants to survivors of military members who are killed in action in the war on terror, but whose benefits are "lost" in the system. Jay donates a portion of the proceeds from his book From Baghdad to America to the Enduring Freedom Killed in Action Fund and the Freedom is Not Free Fund.

Nightmarish Installs
I dread installing application servers. I mean I really dread them. Rarely have I installed one that went off without a hitch. The first time. Usually, something goes wrong, I get a cryptic error code, hit Google looking through posts on unfamiliar websites looking for help, and watching the hours pass by.
Not my idea of a good time.An example of a really nice install is the one that comes with Microsoft SQL Server. Those guys got it right out of the box. You run the install, verify a few simple things, which are defaulted to appropriate values, and away you go. I don't recall ever having a SQL install go bad - the closest thing was an install getting confused due to an existing installation of SQLExpress and not installing the tools I needed by default. That was a bit of Google surfing until I found the answer, but all-in-all a nice install for an admitedly very complex (maybe the most complex product) by Microsoft.
Then there's Team Foundation Server.
First, TFS is an awesome product. Once you get it installed. And that is an accomplishment by itself. I've been using TFS since it first came out and its not only far better than Visual SourceSafe for enterprise-grade version control, it also allowed us to stop using SharePoint as a place to store project-level information such as requirements. As we moved to a more Agile stance using Scrum, the ability to integrate project templates that allowed us to work the way we want to work was incredible. Although the new feature set for TFS 2008 isn't massive compared to TFS 2005, it's a nice release with some much needed features like a supported Web interface to the application server.
But then there's that install part.
TFS is an application server that needs a lot of other application servers in order to do its thing - SQL Server, SharePoint Services, Internet Information Server, SQL Reporting Services. Now, each of these servers have to be installed (or not) and configured just a particular way for TFS to install properly. You get it wrong, you're, at best, un-installing/re-installing software, or at worst, zapping the hard drive and starting over with a fresh Windows install.
In TFS 2005, there was a lengthy install guide that went through pages of specific steps to install TFS and its needed application servers. In TFS 2008, the document is updated, but it's still a lengthy process. I was amazed that there's still a large amount of secondary tasks that have to be done either with command line invocations using XML scripts, downloading and running PowerToys tools from Microsoft to address missing features, and so on.
So you begin with reading the guide, and starting with a fresh Windows 2003 installation. Hopefully fresh. Then, you proceed to install IIS. Be careful to install the ASP.NET pieces and the SMTP server if you want to send email (you will, believe me) from TFS. Of course, it's easy to miss these options and not be sure you want to deal with, say, SMTP until later. At no point does the guide say "Here's what you need to do at a minimum" and separate that from the optional stuff.
A more nightmareish example is SharePoint Services. Woe unto the rash developer who blindly thinks he or she can just run the TFS install, or SPS install and away you go.
You forget to install SPS assuming a server farm? Oops, start over.
You configure SPS yourself after installing it? Oops, start over.
The documentation also says that you can install SPS yourself (preferred) or let TFS do it with no clear indication why you are asked this - I mean isn't this what an install is supposed to do? If you install it yourself, you are reminded to install an update to SPS after TFS is installed, or you can let TFS install SPS with the update for you. Confused? You're not the only one.
And don't get me started on the integration between SPS, TFS and SQL Reporting Services. Even after the install works and everything is done, you then find out that no one has access even though you added users to the proper TFS groups. Why? Because SPS and/or SQL Reporting Services don't know about the user. Synchronization problems? Likely. So you download yet another tool from the helpful Microsoft Support team that allows you to twiddle with the rights of users (or add new ones). You probably would have thought that there's be an Admin console in TFS that would coordinate all of this.
Nope. There's none to be found.
Finally, woe unto the unsuspecting admin who starting messing with SPS itself in this TFS arrangement. You can very easily hose the SPS environment so that voila! TFS can no longer find your SPS applications, you can't create new ones, and so on. Solution? Hit Google, look through a lot of unfamiliar web sites looking for help, watch the hours go by, ... Sound like a pattern?
But please understand, I love Microsoft software. I really do. But to see such a fantastic product as TFS get such a poorly designed user installation experience is a tragedy. It doesn't matter if TFS scales, has features coming out of its proverbial ears, has the latest technology, etc if you can't install it. And many likely customers would give up and go with an Open Source solution like Subversion.
In the Open Source world, it's assumed that all software is written by disparate groups. There's no controlling entity deciding how everything should fit together. Yet very often, especially at the application server level, things fit together quite well. In the Microsoft world, we agree to dominance by a single vendor in exchange for a wonderful user experience. And user's include the installers.
We're people too.

I think Walter Anthony Robinson (b. 25 December 1929) from the BRDC member list is the Alta designer Tony Robinson.
Posted 08 October 2011 - 19:38
Based on that information, Walter A Robinson was born in Darlington, Co. Durham.
Posted 17 October 2011 - 10:05
As the last update was so recently, all I'll say update wise is that along with this, Tony Robinson's details above have been added, Jorg Zander has been added to the site and the following WATN's have been updated (mostly 2012 stuff) for:

I'm not convinced that Ralph Bellamy was the same age as John Barnard. I think RB's birth date has been confused with JB's on the BRDC website. If you look at his career and contemporary photos it seems clear to me that Bellamy is Barnard's senior by some years.
According to your info Bud Clemons must have been Willard E. Clemons who according to the SSDI did not die in December 2001 but in Februay 2001. Isn't it strange that his SSN was issued by Iowa considering he was allegedly born in California?
EDITED to clarify that I mean the Social Security Number.
Edited by ReWind, 20 November 2011 - 12:34.
Posted 20 November 2011 - 10:43
Also, I notice you have spelt Angelelli wrong, although it seems to be correct on the website, but Sam Greco is still spelt incorrectly there!
Posted 21 November 2011 - 07:47
Re. Clemons - firstly, the 1985 deceased Clemons is still a valid driver - he just wasn't the one at Indianapolis, but he was based on the East Coast. The confusion has arised out of the two.
Willard Elmon Clemons, who is the "Bud Clemons" of Indianapolis fame - it should be February - that's my mistake. But the information provided by his daughter was so complete about his Indianapolis attempts - the years he was there, what he raced in, that I have no doubt that the information provided is honest, true and accurate. The fact that she even knew there were two Bud Clemons says it all - something the papers again missed.
Clemons fought in WW2 and for a while in the late 1940's, was based away from California, in Iowa subsequently. That may explain the Iowa issusing, although I don't really know too much about SSN registering etc.
Re. Bellamy, the only thing that confused me was his career is on there, so I presumed the information came from RB himself. But maybe he's given them that and they've put the birthdate on the wrong page? I must admit I've not seen anything other than the date I had before.
Posted 24 November 2011 - 22:31
Posted 03 December 2011 - 22:42
To be honest, not much has really happened, but the following have been updated;
Lisles (Newman Haas have gone), Raikkonen (back in F1), Pic (added, new driver), Head (left Williams F1), Oliver (general WATN) and Dempsey Wilson (family business info).
Thanks to Gordon T Brand for the Wilson info. I've also updated the GP totals so the season is now up-to-date.
Posted 05 December 2011 - 17:33
Michael, Greco isn't spelt wrong at all - GRECCO is or rather, was his name. You can see the proof of that on the censuses and SSDI, and all the other resources. It's the papers - not for the first time - that are wrong.
Thnx for that!
Yes, not the first time the papers got it wrong, but I don't think I have EVER seen his name spelt with two "c"s, in a career spanning more than two decades!

Two remarks:
Kapitza - FULL birth details
Stromberger - birthplace
Kapitza's birthplace Hatzendorf is in the Steiermark (= Styria) which should mean that he is Austrian.
Stromberger's birthplace is Weitensfeld im Gurktal ("tal" meaning "valley").
Posted 14 August 2012 - 20:43
Kapitza's birthplace Hatzendorf is in the Steiermark (= Styria) which should mean that he is Austrian.
He was born 4 Oct 1939, at which time Austria was part of Germany, having been annexed 18 months earlier, and would remain so until he was nearly six. So you could argue that he was German in the same way a Scotsman can be defined as being British. However, I have a nasty feeling that leads us into a difficult existential debate about the nature of Austria...

Have you ever given thoughts to including a motorcycle racer section in WATN?
Yes, but if I do, it won't be for a good few years yet, unfortunately.
I think it would have to be 500cc only though, I think there's too much work for me to add anything else, at least initially.

Richard, that's great that you heard from Eddie O'Donnell's great-nephew. To give myself some credit here, I was the one who located Eddie O'Donnell's burial city while researching for Racers at Rest. The Los Angeles Times indicated he would probably be buried in Los Angeles, where he and his wife had lived for a while. In doing some deep research, I found that O'Donnell's body had been vaulted at Rosedale Cemetery in Los Angeles. I called the records keeper at Rosedale and they found the record and replied: "Hmmm, it has Whitewater written on it. I don't know what that means." I thanked them and told them that O"Donnell's family was from Whitewater, Wisconsin and it likely meant his body was returned there for burial. From there, Steve Estes found out which cemetery in Whitewater that O'Donnell was buried at. It turns out he was initially buried at Rosedale, then his parents re-interred him in Whitewater in a family plot.

I have read every posts of this years and checked every biography in the website, I was only in 2008!!!
In the meanwhile I have found some little mistakes or little corrections to suggest. I'm sorry if my words seem too much raw... it's because I don't speak english very well but I'm slowly improving
Blundell was born in Barnet in 1966, but Barnet was already in Greater London from 1965, so, Hertfordshire should be wrong
The place of death of Kay should be Marlborough, Connecticut, not Marlboro
Bourdais - in the biography the correct info should be "winning the title four years in a row between 2004 and 2007"
Schlesser Jo - there is a little mistake in the biography (Madagascar)
Pease - I have no evidence of Darlington from Yorkshire to Durham, but only Darlington in Durham. If I'm wrong there is also the birthplace of Robinson Tony (in team bosses section) to change, infact he was born in 1929 in Darlington, Durham.
Lippi - the real complete name of the deathplace of Lippi is Lavinio - Lido di Enea (usually abbreviated only with Lavinio)
Adolff - the deathplace is only Kreuth (without am-Tegernsee, the lake Tegernsee is close to the town and in the logo of the town there is Kreuth am Tegernsee but the name is only Kreuth. There is also a town named "Tegernsee")
Migault - the correct name of deathplace is Parigne-l'Eveque with "-" as usually for the french names of the cities.
Burgess - the deathplace of Harrow is in Greater London, not Middlesex, from 1965
Simon - the complete name of the deathplace is Evian-les-Bains (as confirmed by the road signs, you can see them in Google Street View )
Gethin - the correct name of deathplace is Old Henley, Haslemere, not Haselmere
There is an inversion in the nationality of Maldonado, YV not VY
There is a little mistake in the deathplace of Nuckey - Philippines with only one "L"
You have changed the abbreviation of uruguay drivers from U to ROU (like the new international abbreviations) and now you should change also the abbreviation of the finnish drivers - from SF to FIN (Häkkinen, Järvilehto, Kinnunen, Kovalainen, Kozarowitzky, Räikkönen, Rosberg Keijo e Salo) because the new abbreviation is in use from 1993.
I have found a different information for the death of Flaherty, emphysema but maybe he had also a cancer... I can't verify this news at all.
About Naylor I have read that his death was caused by an accident, road or aircraft or other?
and about Rounds I have found an information about his death but also him only "accident", road or aircraft?
and that's all!!!
as usually my congratulations for this big job
now is time to enjoy a new F1 championship... finally!!!

Indeed, David. All a bit of a minefield. Until 1974 the village I live in was in Somerset. Then for 22 years it was in Avon. Now it's in Bath & NE Somerset.
Middlesex is still a recognised postal address, so Harrow is officially still in Middlesex
Hertfordshire also exists, though the correct address for Barnet is indeed London
It hasn't moved an inch!

I used to live in Sale. Sale was once part of Cheshire but became part of Greater Manchester. Very few put their address as Greater Manchester and tend to use Cheshire...it sticks.

Syria holding onto chemical weapons?
- Syria has delivered 4%25 of its chemical weapons components for destruction
- The regime says it%27s worried about the safety of convoys
- Russia helped broker the disarmament deal in September
Syria will miss a second deadline to turn over its chemical weapons components for destruction Wednesday amid a British report that Bashar Assad's regime is stockpiling the weaponry for use in case the country is partitioned.
Syria has delivered only a small fraction of the most dangerous components of its chemical weapons – sarin, mustard and VX gases – all of which were supposed to be handed over by Dec. 31. Delivery of all the less-dangerous industrial chemical components is supposed to be complete by Wednesday.
To date, only 4% of its chemical weapons components have been delivered to the port of Latakia to be loaded onto ships and transported for destruction abroad.
"They're not going to make that timeline. either," said Michael Luhan, a spokesman for the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), which is overseeing the dismantling of Syria's illicit weapons program.
The mission, which started off strong last fall, "has reached a kind of a stasis at the moment," Luhan said.
A report in the Times of London cited unnamed Russian and Israeli sources saying Syria is working with Iran and North Korea to upgrade its stockpile to use an "insurance policy" or deterrent to defend Assad's Alawite homeland in northwestern Syria from being overrun by regime opponents.
Emanuele Ottolenghi, an analyst at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said the report has not been confirmed but that it wouldn't be a surprise because such behavior "is in character" for the Assad regime.
"The regime wasn't admitting to even having CW (chemical weapons) until the deal was struck last September," Ottolenghi said. "Those weapons were always an insurance policy for regime survival, and it's therefore doubtful that the regime would give them up."
Syrian officials have cited safety concerns for the delay and issued a list of items to preserve convoys of trucks as they transport hundreds of tons of material cross-country in the midst of civil war. They've asked for armored troop carriers and armored sleeves to fit around shipping containers loaded with canisters of chemicals.
The State Department has dismissed the Syrian request as foot dragging.
"The regime has every tool they need in order to deliver on their promise of moving the chemical weapons to the port at Latakia," said State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki. "That is the step they need to take."
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov has said that Syria plans to send a large shipment of toxic agents out of the country this month and can remove all its chemical stockpile by March 1, according to a Reuters report.
Russia helped broker the Sept. 14 disarmament agreement in return for a U.S. pledge not to carry out military strikes after the White House determined that Assad used chemical weapons Aug. 21 in an attack that killed an estimated 1,400 civilians in a Damascus suburb, crossing a red line set a year earlier by President Obama.
Some 130,000 people have been killed in the Syrian civil war.
The plan called for Syria to declare its chemical weapons stockpiles and production facilities and to destroy them or deliver components for destruction. The entire process is to be complete by June 30.
Syria declared 1,430 tons of chemical weapons materials. All declared equipment and munitions have been destroyed under OPCW monitoring, and now the chemicals need to be transported to Latakia to be shipped to a U.S. vessel that will destroy most of the remaining material, according to the OPCW.
Some analysts say the delays could be related to more mundane motivations.
The Syrian government could be "trying to slow roll" the process in order to obtain more equipment that can be used for military purposes after it's over, said Daryl Kimball, executive director of the Arms Control Association, which promotes arms-control agreements.
It may also be seeking to keep equipment that would be manufactured in Syria, to benefit the regime's political allies in tough economic times, Kimball said.
"Somebody has to have a contract to build it," he said.

In case anyone here was interested in the New 3DS but didn't want an XL (perhaps wanting to import interchangable faceplates to use?), Nintendo has released in NA a unit bundled with Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer that comes with two Animal Crossing faceplates and is compatible with imported plates.
For the US, Gamestop still has an active Preorder button, possibly walk-ins at stores can preorder (or go in on the 25th and hope for leftovers):
http://www.gamestop.com//nintendo-3ds/c ... dle/125091
For Canada's Best Buy orders:
http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/ani ... 90343.aspx
Those are the only places so far, other HHD bundles I've found on those or other sites are the game, cards, and an Amiibo NFC reader to use with the old 3DS/XL.
Just a heads-up in case anyone is interested, and likes faceplates for other games they've seen released in Europe or Japan, as well as the smaller size unit. Has the same processing power as the N3DS XL/LL, so no worries.
There WAS a Gamestop exclusive Zelda Triforce Heroes Gold N3DS XL... but that sold in hours. They then put up a bundle of it with the game, and that too disappeared within the day. But not before I saw it.
GameStop brought back preorders for N3DSHHD BUT also now have the Zelda Gold SE!
N3DSXL Zelda Gold SE
N3DSXL Zelda Gold SE Bundled w/ Triforce Heroes
You can also walk in to a GameStop and try to put a pre-order in with that store (EB for Canada?) for any of these systems, but store supplies might be limited.

OCC Bulletin 2009-16| May 27, 2009
Affiliate Marketing and Identity Theft Red Flags and Address Discrepancies Rules: Technical Corrections
Chief Executive Officers and Compliance Officers at All National Banks, Department and Division Heads, and All Examining Personnel
On May 14, 2009, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency published in the Federal Register technical corrections, which become effective immediately, to its affiliate marketing and identity theft red flags and address discrepancies rules. With respect to the affiliate marketing rules, the corrections remedy two omissions from the model disclosure forms and accompanying instructions. With respect to the red flags and address discrepancies rules, the corrections rectify four typographical errors and clarify the meaning of a term used in the rules.
Corrections to Affiliate Marketing Rules
Pursuant to 12 CFR 41.23(a)(1)(v), an affiliate marketing opt-out notice must accurately disclose "[t]hat the consumer's election will apply for the specified period of time stated in the notice and, if applicable, that the consumer will be allowed to renew the election once that period expires." However, one of the model forms promulgated with the affiliate marketing rules, Model Form C-5, does not include any information about the duration of the opt-out. Therefore, the corrections insert bracketed language into Model Form C-5 that banks may use to make this disclosure. The old version of Model Form C-5 is being renumbered as Model Form C-6. To give banks adequate time to revise their model forms, the safe harbor for Model Form C-6 will remain in effect until January 1, 2010.
Pursuant to 12 CFR 41.23(a)(2)(ii), an affiliate marketing opt-out notice "must explain how an opt-out direction by a joint consumer will be treated" in which two or more consumers jointly obtain a product or service. However, the model forms and instructions to the model forms are currently silent on joint relationships. Therefore, the corrections insert an additional provision into the instructions to the model forms clarifying that banks may add a disclosure regarding the treatment of opt-outs by joint consumers. When the notice pertains to a joint account, banks must include such language under section 41.23(a)(2)(ii).
Corrections to Identity Theft Red Flags and Address Discrepancies Rules
The corrections remedy four typographical errors in the identity theft red flags and address discrepancies rules and supplement to the guidelines.

External risks to EM remain elevated due to the considerable uncertainty of the impact on EM of the new US administration's policies, European elections and Brexit. Emerging Markets enter this period with strong fundamentals, as the main risks to the asset class – China slowdown and commodity rout – have declined over the past 18 months and growth is recovering across EM. We retain an OW in External Debt as we remain positive on commodities and oil in particular as well as on specific idiosyncratic re-rating stories.
EMD HC risk premiums have more than recovered from the surprise result of the US presidential election. EMD does not seem to offer value on an absolute basis – at 317bp, EM spreads are trading inside the 5Y average of 337bp but relative valuation to DM HY and IG still offers value, especially in the single and double-B rating buckets.
In the near term, technical factors are neutral-to-positive as EM sovereign supply is manageable and met by the large coupons and redemptions in Q1. YTD asset class flows are positive and we expect $20-40bn of asset class inflows in 2017.
In this context, we maintain an overweight (OW) position in high yielders with structural reform momentum and/or IMF programmes such as Argentina, Georgia and Ghana as well as select Eastern European credits such as Bulgaria and Montenegro, where valuations appear attractive. We are also overweight the energy complex with our overweight positions in countries like Venezuela, Angola, Gabon, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, as we expect oil prices to recover in 2017 following the OPEC agreement in November 2016 that resulted in production cuts.
Our underweights (UW) include low beta and US treasury-sensitive credits with tight valuations such as Panama, Peru, Chile, Uruguay, the Philippines, and Poland. We also aim to hold a low exposure to South Africa, which is suffering from tight valuations, domestic political transition, downgrade risks, insufficient fiscal adjustment and weak growth.
Local Rates will continue to benefit from EM disinflation and accommodative EM central bank policies although the easing cycles might be shallower than expected given Fed monetary policy normalization. The EM cyclical growth recovery is also expected to continue as most EM are still below their potential growth level. We continue to see value in EM Local Rates and remain OW in selected high-yielders.
Supported by high real rates and constructive disinflation dynamics such as Brazil, Colombia and Russia, we are overweight higher yielders. Accommodative monetary policies in EM and DM favour exposure to the mid- and long-end segments of these local curves.
We also prefer mid-beta bond markets like those of South Africa and Mexico that have underperformed materially and priced in most of the political risks. Finally, we favour a Poland vs. German Bund strategy, based on attractive multi-year valuations and limited inflationary pressures.
On the other hand, we are underweight treasury-sensitive Asian low-yielding local rates markets such as Malaysia. We are also UW Argentina (though a high yielder), based on tight valuations and a hawkish central bank policy in a high and persistent inflationary environment. We also maintain our underweight on Hungary on the back of expected reflation in 2017 and high US treasury sensitivity.

Marc Vetri's Fennel Gratin
As always with our Cook the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of Rustic Italian Food to give away this week.
There is a lovely simplicity about this Fennel Gratin from Marc Vetri's Rustic Italian Food. Just a few ingredients and no fancy technique, the caramelized slices of fennel cook down sweet and soft in olive oil with the finely grated Parmesan and pepper flakes crisping up on top.
Served alongside a roasted whole fish or lamb shoulder (recipe coming later this week) it's the kind of dish that shows the best kind of restraint, no need to overthink or overdo, just let a few ingredients really shine.
Why you should make this: So simple but so good, this fennel cooks down to sweet, spicy, salty goodness making for a side that is poised to take center stage.
Next time we might think about: If the red pepper flakes-olive oil-Parmesan combo works so well on fennel, we're wondering how it would fare on other sweet veggies like carrots or turnips.

- Yield:Makes 4 to 6 servings
- Active time: 10 minutes
- Total time:40 minutes
- 2 fennel bulbs (about 2 pounds), fronds trimmed and reserved
- About 2 1/2 cups olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/4 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Trim the base of the fennel and remove all dark and light green parts down to the white bulb. Slice each bulb in half lengthwise. Cut each half lengthwise into 4 wedges and remove the cores. Lay the wedges on a rimmed baking sheet and add olive oil to a depth of 1/4 inch. Sprinkle each wedge with a pinch each of salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Top each with about 1 teaspoon of Parmesan.
Bake until fork-tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in the oil until just warm.
Using a slotted metal spatula, transfer the fennel to plates and garnish with the reserved fennel fronds.

I'm doing work on the links page. It is interesting that both no provision and provision is made for Tables in WordPress. The styles are set up to a great extent, though they don't appear quite right in the editor. They do show up properly on the website.
I am as I mentioned placing the links on a Links page rather than in a margin column. I just preferred a single column format for this site.
Anyhow after working with a few idiosyncrasies I have a good start.

I am trying to figure out how to write a method that will reverse an ArrayList. I can't use collections.reverse(). I'm lost, my teacher speaks broken English so I'm basically on my own here. I think that I should use a for loop, something like this:
for (int index = arrayList.size(); index = 0; index--)
But, I don't understand how to make it return the reversed arrayList. Any help is appreciated.

Buried on the second page of a New York Times article on California Health Benefit Exchange's gung-ho efforts to deliver a yet unnamed portal in preparation for the full effects of Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) are the costs:
The exchange itself has so far been financed by three grants, worth $237 million, from the federal government. Most of the money is committed to consultants, including Accenture, which has a $327 million contract to build and support the initial operation of the enrollment portal.
But who's footing the bill? Only all of California's nearly 38 million residents:
"It's all good for consumers," she said. "But somebody's got to pay for it, and that's going to go into the premium."
Despite the full-throttle approach here, another uncertainty is the outcome of the presidential race. Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee, has vowed to repeal the health care law and restructure Medicaid, not only scrapping the planned expansion but making the program much leaner. Even without a repeal, Republicans could undo the federal subsidies and other financing for the law if they won the presidency and even a narrow majority in the Senate.
"If the federal funding stopped," Mr. Lee said, "we would be at a 'press reset' button."
Move over $18M recovery.gov 2.0, California is set to dethrone the federal government when it comes ridiculously expensive website boondoggles.
And by the way, Accenture is indeed the same outfit that was previously called Andersen Consulting (Arthur Andersen). The same firm infamously tied to the Enron document shredding scandal is now in charge of delivering the world's most expensive website to gullible Californians.

Hands off that famous derriere!
Notorious celebrity prankster Vitalii Sediuk found that out the hard way when he attempted to kiss Kim Kardashian's backside Wednesday during an appearance in Paris.
Although Sediuk got close, he was quickly subdued by Kardashian's security entourage. Sediuk, who fled after the incident, was most recently in the news for pulling a similar prank against Gigi Hadid on the streets of Milan last week. In that incident, Sediuk grabbed the model and lifted her off the ground before she elbowed him in the face and chased him away.
Sediuk posted on Instagram following the incident, saying the prank was intended as a form of "protest" against what he said was Kardashian's use of "butt implants."
"I was protesting Kim for using fake butt implants. I encourage her and the rest of Kardashian clan to popularize natural beauty among teenage girls who follow and defend them blindly," Sediuk wrote. "P.s. I was sitting there outside the posh restaurant to use free wifi and eating my ice-cream. When all of a sudden, the pack of paparazzi came out and the car with Kim Kardashian. I swear I didn't know she was going to be there."
That may be hard to believe, as it's not Sediuk's first run-in with the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star. Kardashian was approached in 2014 while trying to make her way through a hoard of press outside of Balmain's Paris Fashion Week when Sediuk dived for her legs.
Kardashian later posted a thank you to her security team.

For some reason I just can't stop making these Valentine's Day lessons. Today I have some special tutorials coming up and I can almost guarantee that what you will see before you will be like OMG yes finally! Before I get to the fun stuff, let me start by showing you guys an easy way you can "draw a Valentine heart", step by step. There are so many different ideas that come to mind when making these types of hearts because hearts can be drawn in so many ways. For me I decided to go with something that was a bit different, and that took me to my younger years. This Valentine heart that you will draw has some pretty ruffled lace around the edges. I used to see this type of heart all the time when I was younger. My dad used to by my mother a heart shaped box of chocolates that had ruffled lace edging. The pretty embroidered edge decorated a sued style box very lovingly. Now today, you will get the chance to teach yourself "how to draw a Valentine heart" in this same fashion. Let me get out of here so you can get busy. I shall return in a bit so stay tuned in. Peace people and don't forget to write the words 'I Love You' on the surface, or something else to that manner.

text: Wednesday, August 29, 2012 New in the Literature: Back Care in Children and Adolescents (BMC Musculoskelet Disord. 2012. August 21. [Epub ahead of print]) Physical therapy interventions for back care in children and adolescents are successful in significantly increasing healthy behaviors and knowledge acquired both in the posttest and in the follow-up, say authors of a meta-analysis published in BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders. The combined treatment of postural hygiene with physical therapy exercise exhibits the best results. The small number of studies limits the generalizability of the results, they add. The authors located studies from the Cochrane Library, Medline, PEDro, Web of Science and IME, and other sources. The search period extended to May 2012. To be included in the meta-analysis, studies had to use physical therapy methodologies of preventive treatment on children and adolescents and compare a treatment and a control group. Treatment, participant, methodological, and extrinsic characteristics of the studies were coded. Two researchers independently coded all of the studies. As effect size indices, standardized mean differences were calculated for measures of behaviors and knowledge, both in the posttest and in the follow-up. The random and mixed-effects models were used for the statistical analyses. Sensitivity analyses were carried out to check the robustness of the meta-analytic results. A total of 19 papers fulfilled the selection criteria, producing 23 independent studies. On average, the treatments reached a statistically significant effectiveness in the behaviors acquired, both in the posttest and in the follow-up (d+ = 1.33 and d+ = 1.80, respectively), as well as in measures of knowledge (posttest: d+ = 1.29; follow-up: d+ = 0.76). Depending on the outcome measure, the effect sizes were affected by different moderator variables, such as the type of treatment, the type of postural hygiene, the teaching method, or the use of paraprofessionals as cotherapists.

Just a few weeks ago, Senate majority leader Harry Reid seemed headed for political flameout.
Nevadans were down on their senior senator, according to the polls. The "tea party" movement was zeroing in on him as representative of all that's wrong with big-government politics back in Washington. And it looked like any of his likely GOP opponents could beat the four-term incumbent in November.
Shortly after Nevada Republicans chose former state assemblywoman Sharron Angle to run against Reid, the beleaguered Democrat was trailing his opponent by 11 percentage points in a Rasmussen Reports poll of likely Nevada voters.
But things can change in a hurry.
Reid has moved ahead of Ms. Angle in the polls – by as much as seven points in the latest Mason-Dixon Polling & Research survey for the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The Angle campaign – with help from an increasingly worried national party – is having to beef up its campaign staff with outside professionals. And Angle is scrambling to change the subject regarding her earlier controversial positions and assertions.
"Reid has gone from being a very heavy underdog to being a slight favorite," says Ted Jelen, a political scientist at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. "The fact that Sharron Angle won the primary was a major break for him."
Meanwhile, Republicans "are growing increasingly frustrated with Sharron Angle and her lackluster campaign … fearing she is jeopardizing what they had long viewed as a sure pickup and costing them a chance to reclaim the majority," reports CQ Politics.
Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), acknowledges the challenge his party faces in Nevada.
"While running for election is not rocket science, it does require knowledgeable people, it does require some discipline, and that's always a struggle for every first-time candidate," Senator Cornyn told CQ Politics.
"Knowledgeable people" in this case includes Brian Jones, former communications director of the Republican National Committee, dispatched to advise the Angle campaign. Previously, Mr. Jones worked for John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign and George W. Bush's reelection campaign in 2004.
"The NRSC's move to bring in Jones comes as Republicans are starting to go public with worries that Angle and her campaign team are out of their depth running against Harry Reid," reports Ben Smith at Politico.com. "While the Senate majority leader is deeply unpopular in Nevada, his campaign has effectively seized on his GOP rival's many gaffes to establish a lead in the polls."
The main reason for the turnaround?
The Reid campaign keeps hammering on Angle's past statements, apparently making effective use of his $9 million campaign warchest (several times larger than Angle's).
It's archived information from Angle's earlier website touting controversial positions on Social Security, doing away with the US Education Department and other federal agencies, and approval of nuclear waste reprocessing at Yucca Mountain (highly unpopular among Nevadans). And it's making effective use of Nevada's fairly small and self-contained television markets in Reno and Las Vegas, says Professor Jelen. "TV time is pretty cheap in Nevada, and Reid can saturate it easily."
There are more than 13 weeks until the general election – several lifetimes in politics – and things could change again for Reid and Angle, particularly given the sour mood among the electorate and the unknown influence of the tea party movement. Angel is now raising money at a comparable rate with Reid.
Citing the recent shift in Nevada polls, Politics Daily's "poll watch" feature notes this:
"Not only do majorities of voters see each candidate unfavorably, the number of those who regard them 'very' unfavorably is high – 48 percent for Reid and 41 percent for Angle. Fifty percent of voters say Reid's views are extreme compared to 41 percent who say they are mainstream, with 8 percent undecided. Fifty-eight percent consider Angle's views extreme while 37 percent put her in the mainstream, with 6 percent unsure."
Some things are beyond Reid's control – like Nevada's 14.2 percent unemployment rate, the highest in the country. And as his party's leader in the Senate, he is closely tied to President Obama's agenda – including controversial issues like health care reform.
In the end, Nevada's US Senate race may come down to which candidate has the lower "unfavorable" numbers. That, and voter turnout, says Jelen. Angle has tea parties on her side, but Reid has enjoyed the support of culinary workers and other unions in Nevada.
'Tea party' favorite Sharron Angle takes aim at Harry Reid
