Home Sweet Luthor Mansion
"We have to walk?" the woman joked with a slightly overdone petulance, glancing surreptitiously at her new husband. Little did he know this complaint was part of an elaborate scheme to prevent his incipient acid comments concerning how their driver had abandoned them at the base of a long, winding, thin road surrounded by overhanging trees and suspicious poison-ivy-look-a-like plants which was hardly wide enough to be considered a trail, much less a driveway.
"Lillian, it's beautiful," he forestalled her, taking her arm and beginning the trek. Neither of them was really dressed for an intrepid hike, even if one supposed something lay at the end worth their while. Lillian was rather annoyed he hadn't bothered to tell her. All right, so he claimed it was a 'surprise.' Whatever. Lillian still didn't know why they'd come here after their lovely honeymoon in the south of France, when back home, he had a fledgling company and she had loving friends and a bossy family.
"Sweetheart," she asked, stealing a curious look at his gorgeous profile, "What are we doing here, again?"
"You'll see," he told her, expertly lifting her over a patch of poison ivy that had bravely migrated to the path.
Lillian pouted. This was getting tiresome. "Lionel…" she wheedled. There. He'd never be able to resist the old helpless-girl charm. This was what had gotten her through Metropolis University (or Met U). Well, this and Cherie. For someone who spent all her time protesting the way the government of Kansas ran the state and wearing too much black (and too much black eyeliner) Cherie knew an awful lot about a lot (which was going overboard for Met U in those days—honestly, they only wanted you to know a little about a lot).
Lionel, marching steadfastly forward and pulling Lillian along willy-nilly, spared her a glance, half-amused, half-exasperated. "You're going to love it," he informed her confidently.
"Not as much as I loved the beach-house, I'll bet," she muttered, dwelling fondly on warm days spent lazing around in a beach chair, wearing sunscreen and little else and getting Lionel to loosen up. So far, her methods had met with some success. Really, she thought, that was what she had devoted her life to, when she promised to love and honor (and obey—feminist principles versus traditional wedding vows) Lionel. He got so stressed out over that company of his—Luthorcorp. And there was only so much she could do in the realm of hostessing and helping. Still, he didn't seem stressed now. And if he'd heard her comment, he wasn't dignifying it with an answer.
Lillian studied Lionel as he hurried her along (clearly, the man had no understanding of how difficult it is to walk in heels—he could at least have warned her) and thought how incongruous he ought to look. There he was, in a dark suit—not custom-made, but not thrift shop, either—and dress shoes. His normally perfectly tamed hair was windswept, and his eyes were alight with a glow Lillian assumed was enthusiasm. Or it might be—slightly!—obsessive. What was so important about these tangled woods, anyway? Lillian, of course, was city-bred. As such, she distrusted forests, open spaces, and too much sky.
In fact, more sky seemed to be appearing up ahead. As well as—
"Wow," Lillian breathed, once she regained her breath. The castle—for such it was—loomed up out at them at the end of the trail. It was surrounded by a shallow moat over which lay an antique drawbridge on the point of collapse. Lillian saw, with a little thrill of delight, that it had real stained glass windows and even real turrets.
"I know," agreed Lionel. "Our guide is meeting us inside, let's go."
"But Lionel…this…this is…you were right, I do love it."
Lionel put his arm round her, and they gazed up at the castle for a long moment.
"How did you know about this place?" Lillian asked, fully expecting that fairies or elves had told him. Or perhaps he'd been here in a previous life.
"After I got Luthorcorp on its feet, I visited here," Lionel answered. "This place has my heritage, my Scottish roots." No one, looking at Lionel, could doubt that he was Scottish. Still, Lillian rather doubted that this particular fairy-tale place had been handed down, generation after generation, Luthor to Luthor. After all, it wasn't as though she didn't know Lionel had grown up in Suicide Slum. She still smiled a wicked little smile whenever she thought of the effect this news had had on her parents. Lillian Roy-Kinnaird, daughter of Leah Roy and Felix Kinnaird, marrying an orphan from Suicide Slum! Lionel's parents had died in a tenement fire. Well, it was Lillian Luthor now. And Felix and Leah had paid for the wedding. The helpless girl act had always worked on Lillian's father, too.
Now, as she and Lionel walked toward the beautiful castle, Lillian thought it looked like where Macbeth might have hung his sword and shield. She glanced at her husband. He was scanning the grounds for their guide with a remarkably proprietary air. A whimsical thought occurred to her. Perhaps this place had been handed down through Lionel's family…starting with the Scottish Lord himself.
Eventually, they found the guide. He hurried to open the big doors, and, even as Lillian started to follow, Lionel swept her off her feet and carried her over the threshold. Her cheeks warmed as the guide carefully shut the doors. Lionel gave her an intense look she knew well before gently setting her on her feet again.
There followed a flurry of talk from the guide (Lillian hadn't caught his name) about the castle, or more accurately, he assured Lillian, the manor: its history, its furniture, furnishings, stained glass windows, indoor plumbing, previous owners (Macbeth wasn't mentioned by name…)… It was all very interesting, but Lillian found it more fascinating that a place she had never before been could hold her attention so completely. She followed Lionel and the guide, her eyes wide.
Lillian had grown up with money, of course. Leah and Felix had a beautiful new house with all the latest in amenities and decorations, and a vacation home in the Hamptons. But this—! This was so much more beautiful. The furniture was antique without being on the verge of collapse, the stained glass windows were an epiphany in and of themselves, and the rooms were all big and free. This was not a house of clutter. Couldn't be. And the library—! Rows and rows of beautiful books—Lillian spotted all her favorite classics.
The guide was moving on, already describing the next room, but Lillian hung back. She wasn't ready to leave that library.
"Glorious, isn't it?" Lionel asked softly.
Lillian nodded, although this seemed a frail and feeble way to express her agreement. "I wish…" she began, then stopped herself.
Lionel, however, seemed to hear what she hadn't said. "Someday," he whispered against her dark, auburn hair, taking her in his arms. "Someday this will be ours."
Lillian felt herself acquiescing in his powerful, contagious confidence. "I love you," she said with some conviction.
"And I love you," Lionel murmured against her hair. His breathing grew more ragged, and his mouth found hers.
Fergus Clacher sighed in exasperation. People (especially couples) often got…distracted during tours, but really. They were in the library, for goodness sake! He had been about to show them the ballroom. This was ridiculous.
When Fergus's boss had called, saying Mr. and Mrs. Luthor were to receive a private, guided tour, he hadn't mentioned they were newlyweds. He also hadn't mentioned, Fergus reflected bitterly, that Mr. Luthor was nearly more knowledgeable about the manor than he was, or that Mrs. Luthor was incredibly beautiful. They were both Scottish, of course; he could tell. But their accents were all-American. And their clothes—! A private guided tour usually meant rich old folks or groups of energetic college students, but the Luthors were far from either of those. In their twenties, but richer than the last tottering group of rich old ladies he'd escorted around the manor.
Still, above and beyond their financial resources, there was something strange about those Luthors. He couldn't put his finger on exactly what it was, but they were…unusual, and slightly off-putting. Perhaps it was Mr. Luthor's air of treating the manor as though it were his own private residence, or the way Mrs. Luthor had shrieked at what she claimed were cobwebs (although it was no such thing—Marie, who was in charge of cleaning the place, would never allow it), or perhaps it was just that they were getting it on in the library, when they had already passed the luxurious bedrooms, and he was about to show them the ballroom. What were they, some sort of intellectual types? Not that he imagined they were reading in there…
Fergus sighed. Should he go knock, or something? Or…maybe it would be smarter to just go wait in the grand hall. No reason to antagonize that Mr. Luthor. He had a look about him Fergus mistrusted. Cold, calculating…maybe that was it. Perhaps what bothered him about the Luthors was their ruthlessness.
Lionel didn't mention his plan to buy the castle (or, as that provoking guide person who kept staring at her so much said, manor) again, but Lillian knew he hadn't forgotten about it. He never forgot his promises.
Also, of course, if anyone could scrounge up enough money to buy an entire Scottish castle complete with furnishings and still afford Lillian's frequent shopping sprees, it was Lionel. Lillian smiled secretly. She knew Lionel was ruthless and determined. She rather thought he was planning on conquering the world, in the style of those long-ago emperors he so admired. Her parents, her friends, and those irritating people who filled out her inner portrait of the world thought she should swoon at the mere thought of a raging megalomaniac like Lionel Luthor. They would never know, Lillian reflected that night as she gazed happily at her sparkling, clacking rings, just how much being Lionel Luthor's wife—and queen—suited her down to the ground.

New Delhi, June 8: With a little over a year left for the Lok Sabha election, Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee turned the spotlight back on Ayodhya, saying his government wanted an early settlement of the dispute either through a court verdict or negotiations or both.
Speaking at the golden jubilee celebrations of the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam at the Siri Fort Auditorium today, Vajpayee said: We want to see an early solution to the Ayodhya issue. How long will this issue linger'
He said the involvement of political parties and leaders made a negotiated settlement difficult. Therefore, it was imperative that they rise above party politics and stop scoring brownie points against one another.
Rajneeti se mukt honi chahiye. Na laabh na haani dekhni chahiye (It should be above politics. Nobody should look into gains and losses), he said.
Vajpayee proposed that the issue should ideally be resolved between religious and social representatives from both sides.
Pointing towards Kanchi Sankaracharya Swami Jayendra Saraswati, who shared the dais with the Prime Minister and Sonia Gandhi, Vajpayee said he was still mediating.
Initially there have been some difficulties, but efforts are on, Vajpayee said.
The Sankaracharya earlier told reporters that a draft appeal was being jointly worked out between Hindu and Muslim representatives and it would be unveiled during his next visit to Delhi in July.
Saraswati claimed that the Muslim leaders he had talked to were keen on a solution and even went to the extent of saying that they were ready to hand over the contentious land in Ayodhya to Hindu religious heads but not political organisations.
He added that Muslim leaders were prepared for an agreement involving representatives of organisations like the Kanchi Mutt. The seer said their only concern was getting something in return for giving up their claim on the Ayodhya land.
His suggestion was that the hundreds of mosques taken over by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) should be restored to them so that they could offer namaz there. The demand is reasonable, he said.
However, members of the two main parties involved in the dispute the All India Muslim Personal Law Board and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) denied knowledge of any such appeal. Neither did the Sankaracharya contact them recently, they said, adding that the last time they met him formally was in 2002 when the VHP wanted to perform shila daan at the site and he worked hard to broker a truce.
S.Q.R. Iliyasi, convener of the boards Babri committee, said on phone from Hyderabad: I can state with authority that no Muslim organisation or individual of any standing met the Sankaracharya recently. Nor is there any such proposal. If, by leaders, he means persons like Shahnawaz Hussain or Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi (of the BJP), the community knows neither has a base or locus standi.
VHP sources said they had no idea what the Sankaracharya was doing. At least we have not been approached by him, said the sources.

With chapters in more than 18 countries across the world, UAEM students work to influence policies at universities in order to ensure that products of biomedical research and development are made available to and affordable for people in low- and middle-income countries.
The current biomedical Research and Development (R&D) system serves profits over people. Despite the global crisis of high drug prices, R&D investments continue to focus on medicines that can be sold at high prices leaving much needed medicines undeveloped and existing lifesaving medicines often too expensive for those who need them most.
In the last 15 years, various R&D initiatives have appeared in response to this failure. Some offer true alternative models for biomedical R&D driven by health needs, while others continue with business as usual. UAEM's RE:Route mapping provides a qualitative review of the alternative biomedical R&D initiatives around the world that are active or proposed. While this mapping covers a significant number of potential alternatives, it is evident that the need for fundamental change is as urgent as ever and universities can play a key role. Join us in bringing this dialogue forward!

The New Brunswick Health Council has some grim news for the province in its latest report on sustainability.
The report found New Brunswick's health status to be worse than the national average when it comes to chronic diseases and obesity. The province also underperforms when it comes to service, resulting in longer hospitalizations and more trips to the emergency room.
The health council says government spending on health care has risen from $7.82 billion to $8.26 billion.
"We have many issues we need to fix," said Stephane Robichaud, the CEO of the Health Council. "We have one of the highest rates of hospitalizations for many conditions in the country so is that sustainable? It's not acceptable."
Not just up to the government
The report also pointed out New Brunswick exceeds the national average when it comes to spending on human resources.
Robichaud said the province is not providing the level of care citizens expect and should be doing better.
Gabriela Tymowski, an associate professor of kinesiology at the University of New Brunswick said it's not just up to the government — people also need to take responsibility for their health.
"Unfortunately, if we look at the rates of obesity and rates of chronic illness, particularly sedentary lifestyle, we see that many people are in positions to make better choices and just simply aren't," she said.
The health council is calling for better planning and providing more consistent service across the province.

Why can't I like Hillary this time?
Why can't I like Hillary this time?
It's 16 months out from the presidential nominating conventions but things are already heating up. A butt-load of Republican candidates is staking out every possible position from fiscally conservative state governor types who might be soft on social issues to bat-crap crazy zealots holding ground on the very lunatic fringes from libertarian to pulpit-pounding values fundamentalists.
On the Democratic side, there is a growing sense of inevitability among those who feel guilty over passing over Hillary Clinton in '08 and being carried away on Barack Obama's naive hope/change agenda. Now it's her turn, right?
I was one of those who began the '08 political season happy to follow Hillary and put a woman in the White House for the first time. I got swept away by the Obama tide and rejoiced in his election.
I even voted for him a second time, though I was sad that his early promise had been overtaken by some sad realities of politics and world affairs.
Now the question I face is this: Why can't I like Hillary this time around?
It's not because of her association with that ol' rogue, Bill Clinton. She seems long ago to have come to an understanding to tolerate him acting the hound dog in return for allowing her to be more than just a first lady. I like Bill despite his flaws (some of which I share). The presidents I really admired as good men, Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama, did not prove to be good presidents. The sneaky bastards that make up in personal force what they lack in goodness seemed to make better or more effective presidents. LBJ is a good case in point.
It's not the pant suits. I like to think that I can look beyond something that superficial. After all, I didn't hold Reagan's brown suits against him.
It's not her age. I had a sneaking suspicion that Reagan was too old. And actually he was losing his hearing, his focus and his ability to tell history from his old films. She's older than Reagan was when he ran successfully. Maybe the fact that I rolled over 70 last year makes me much more tolerant.
Anyway, she is healthy, as far as I know, and seems perfectly able to carry out the office. Maybe a young running mate would help on that front with some people.
It is not, I'm pretty sure, that I'm anti-feminist. I had no problem with Joan Finney or Kathleen Sebelius as governors of Kansas. I admired Geraldine Ferraro and appreciate Elizabeth Warren, the senator from Massachusetts. Some of my best friends are women.
I don't blame her for Benghazi. I think that the ambassador was a bit of a cowboy who relished traveling with minimum entourage including security. Her options for saving him were minimal even though her candor about the period since then have left something to be desired.
I don't care if she used a private email server when she should have been using official State Department channels for her Blackberry and cell phone. Avoiding the public record can't be too much of a concern. After all, Edward Snowdon got hold of the transmissions. He also showed that the public record may be too public.
I don't even think that trying to reinvent herself is a deal breaker. One need only to look at Rand Paul's crab scuttle away from his past isolationist views. And this is but one example of a candidate shifting toward what he/she believes the public wants to hear. An argument may be made that part of leadership is understanding and taking into account what the public wants.
Maybe it's the "use by" thing. You know, many products carry dates by which they should be used. Some manufactures go the route of "new and improved" to boost interest. Newt Gingrich did it three times or more. At least once for each divorce and remarriage. Hillary has been on the political scene for several decades now. It is not surprising that she seems somehow shopworn or old school.
Don't get me wrong. I'll probably end up voting for Mrs. Clinton. She won't say much on policy that I can't agree with. With which I can't agree. She is probably a bit more influenced by big banks, brokerages and corporations than I would like. Maybe Elizabeth Warren could push her a bit more into regulatory activity. It would be nice to have a Democratic Congress to push her that way, but that seems very unlikely.
Lots could happen in 16 months. The Republicans will certainly cannibalize themselves.
Martin O'Malley or some other Democrat might emerge. Hillary could have health problems. I don't need to make my mind up this early. One thing is certain, the next year will be interesting.

Launched in the United States in October of 2009, Porsche's revolutionary Panamera Gran Turismo reached its 25,000 production milestone in short order in July 2010.
The early success of Porsche's first new model line in seven years was predictable, as the German automaker essentially created a completely new vehicle concept: a true four-door Porsche sports car unique to anything else on the road.
Unlike its competitors, it was not based on the platform of an exsisting model or merely a highly tuned version of a sibling model. The Panamera was built from the ground up to provide Porsche driving dynamics and performance while simultaneously surrounding its occupants in luxury and comfort.
New for 2011, Porsche has added two Panamera models to its Gran Turismo range � the 300-horsepower (hp) 2011 Panamera and Panamera 4 -- both powered by a brand-new sixcylinder developed and built by Porsche. This addition increases the Panamera range of offerings to five models.
Also this year all Panameras now come equipped with Bluetooth hands-free phone interface and a universal audio interface that provides connections for a MP3 player that can be controlled through Porsche's Communication Management system. Additionally, the Panamera and Panamera 4 will come standard with PCM and Bi- Xenon headlights.

ok I can hear it now u cant chase someone down for a long time. I know but u want a level 3 curl asap becuse it pummels the fighters and assasins. Then u get taunt 2 make them hit u. Then tremors is a black check and as u just read how much gold u need i think u can see why you want it. Then get roll so u can chase em down. Improve curl 2 max so they can call names on the chat wall. finally max taunt so u can lower their armor when they double team u. Note is should be said always upgrade tremors asap. Finally max out powerball and use it 2 move around. Remember in emergencys u have ghost when u need 2 move.

Title : THE INFLUENCE OF DRY FRICTION FORCES IN GYROSCOPE PRECESSION AXES ON THE MOTION OF THE SENSING ELEMENT OF A GYROCOMPASS,

Abstract : Investigation of the effect of the moment of the dry friction forces in the bearings of gyroscope casings on the motion of the sensing element of a double-rotor gyrocompass. The equations for the deviations of the azimuth and the angle of elevation of the north end of the gyrosphere above the horizon level, arising from dry friction in the precession axes of the gyroscopes, are presented. It is shown that at high latitudes, where the value of the directional moment of a gyrocompass decreases appreciably, dry friction can essentially diminish the accuracy of the device. (Author)

interesting article...
"Proelium Comminus Auctoritate" "Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is a muzzle flash."
Saint J.M. Browning
I like it. I wish he hadn't lumped the .22 short with the long and long rifle. It would have been interesting how that would change the stats. The rifle and shotgun stats don't surprise me at all.
"I don't think Hank done it this way" - Waylon
more factors to consider
Ideally, I would like to see type of ammo used, specific shot placement, distance of shooting, physical condition of victim before shooting, physical condition of survivors after shooting, etc.
It was still an interesting study.
"Proelium Comminus Auctoritate" "Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is a muzzle flash."
Saint J.M. Browning
Yeah, the bullet type (ball vs. hp) would have been an interesting factor. I was confused by the One-shot-stop % and % actually incapacitated by one shot data. They were obviously different as the percentages for one-shot-stop were much lower. But I'm not certain what they are defining this as.I know he defined it as number of incapacitations divided by the number of hits the person took, but using the label "one-shot-stop" seems misleading then.
"I don't think Hank done it this way" - Waylon
greg az
to many considerations and variables..
Hate to take on serious subjects in the absense of good ol spck.. but look at the amount of variables involved here.. ie.. physical condition..agree with Reap major..so is clothing worn, if you consider the effects of shooting through leather, or just a good M-65 field jacket.. at a minimum thse reduce a marginal rounds capability..
Seems the shoot placement would be paramont.. Antidote but interesting.. had a conversation with a women of the night some 35 years ago after i noticed matching round dot bullet scars mid breast (absolute factual story gents) .. Said she wasn't even aware that she had been shot till someone else noticed a little bleeding. Bar shooting that occured (realative to her) from the side.. She said the shooter boogied out, lots of rounds fired.. After everything was over someone noticed some blood on her blouse.. I remember thinking at the time that it had 22 all over it.. Guessing a slower heavier 25 (largest it could have been from .. ummm examination) would have been noticed and caused more damage..
a man has to hold his word, hold his beliefs, and hold a good sight picture.

Snow tracked at six northeastern Arizona weather stations has plummeted by more than two-thirds on average since the 1930s, according to research led by the U.S. Geological Survey.
Dozens of streams that flowed year-round on the reservation now dry up seasonally, and the parched springs and wells along their banks send isolated residents on long drives for store-bought water.
Local temperatures rising on average 2 degrees Celsius since the 1960s have sapped moisture. The advancing water crisis here could be a preview of the Greater Southwest's challenges, as warming winter temperatures morph snow into rain and accelerate evaporation across the highlands.
The Salt and Verde rivers, a crucial supplier to the Phoenix area, originate in the snows that ring the reservation along the Mogollon Rim. And the Colorado River, lifeblood of the entire Southwest, starts with Rocky Mountain snows that also are fading.
"It's just hitting the Navajo people first," USGS geomorphologist Margaret Hiza Redsteer said.
And perhaps hardest.
As in Bolivia and other global pockets of poverty, worsening water scarcity comes down hard on those with the fewest means of adapting. The Navajo Nation's median household income of about $20,000 is less than half Arizona's average. The tribe's Economic Development Division lists the unemployment rate at 42 percent and the poverty rate at 43 percent.
The drying has forced major changes on Navajos, making their lives even more difficult.
"We used to go to the river and plant corn," said Alice McCabe, 70, a Navajo who has lived her adult life in and around Leupp. "But not anymore, because it gets dry."
That family farming ended 30 years ago, for her and her neighbors who roasted a traditional corn variety and also used it in ceremonies.
"Now we're just buying sweet corn from the stores (in Winslow)," McCabe said.
Likewise, she and husband, Jimmie McCabe, 73, used to retrieve water from a spring a couple of miles away from his ancestral homestead out a web of dirt roads west of Leupp. The spring dried up 15 years ago, he said. Now, though the tribe provides drinking water in Leupp, they often stock the ranch with bottled water from their 60-mile round trips to a Winslow supermarket.
"For a long time there's no snow," he said.
Eighty years of declining snowfall have changed the landcape of the Navajo Nation, with direct implications for the Navajo people. (David Wallace/The Republic)
Effects of drying
The McCabes' memories match the story that the government researcher, Hiza Redsteer, has compiled with colleagues through interviews with 73 Navajo elders. The interviews are part of a forthcoming study of the Navajos' vulnerability to climate change.
"Used to be a lot of running water in the wash," said 70-year-old Levi Biggambler, who was born next to Jeddito Wash on the boundary with the Hopi Reservation and still lives there.
He recalls his family's plots of corn, watermelon and other crops that he can no longer grow.
Hiza Redsteer's study includes one resident's memory that Jeddito Wash flowed consistently in the 1960s and 1970s, and many families planted fields there. Another recalled that in the 1930s the soil was moist to several centimeters in depth, because of deep snows.
Data from weather stations in the reservation's Tsezhin Tah region north of Winslow indicate that annual snowfall that averaged about 17 inches in the 1930s declined steadily to 5 inches by the 21st century, Hiza Redsteer found.
Both the interviews and historic scientific journals recall widespread planting of corn and other crops along river floodplains, Hiza Redsteer said, where today there's not enough water. Dry riverbeds are, instead, a major source of blowing dust.
Where snow has switched to winter rain, she said, the moisture is less able to sustain streams and springs through the dry times of year. Much of it runs away or evaporates quickly instead of melting into the soil, and increasing warmth makes shrubs and grasses thirstier.
The changes on Navajo land reflect a broader trend. Scientists say a warming climate threatens snowpack and moisture throughout the Colorado River basin, from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean.
Though the snowpack decline that Hiza Redsteer tracked at six sites is stark, it's impossible to put a number on the total century-long decline across the reservation. Numbers from a larger government network of snow stations are only available going back to the 1980s.
Data from those sites mostly demonstrate the effects of the past 15 years of drought, broken by a couple of wet winters brought on by ocean temperature shifts known as El Niño.
Several University of Arizona researchers who authored a 2012 paper on snowpack changes in the interior West found that as temperatures crept up in recent decades, snow and its moisture content declined. This was especially true in watersheds in the vicinity of the Navajo Reservation, including the San Juan River, which joins the Colorado at Lake Powell.
That drainage's snowpack, on its highest day of winter, has lost about 2 inches of water per decade since the study data's starting point in 1984. It shrank while temperatures warmed by 0.6 degrees Celsius per decade. Though rain replaced some snow, overall winter precipitation also declined.
The San Juan monitoring sites experienced the Southwest's worst declines in the study, though the Lower Colorado — including the Salt and Verde rivers that help supply metro Phoenix — also lost snow and water.
Gregg Garfin, a University of Arizona climate scientist who helped write the Southwest chapter for a 2014 National Climate Assessment, noted that his colleagues also determined the snow is melting earlier and covering the ground fewer days.
"All snow-related parameters are going in the direction of less snow," he said in an e-mail.
The National Climate Assessment that Garfin co-authored projected a dramatic decrease in the Arizona high country's already skimpy snowpack if greenhouse gas emissions continue increasing. Measured against the late 20th-century average, Garfin's team predicted 12 percent of normal moisture in the snowpack by 2100.
Upstream states that contribute the bulk of the Colorado River are not expected to suffer such losses, percentage-wise, though their losses will hurt the regional water balance more. Colorado, for instance, is the river's biggest source and is projected to lose 26 percent of its snow moisture.
"We need every drop of water that we can get from the Colorado," Garfin said.
A new source?
This summer the McCabes trekked from their Navajo homestead to a nearby community well, to hoist sticks atop a shade structure for their cattle milling around a trough there. The well is deep enough to draw water, but it's tapping ancient seawater that is too salty for people — not the percolated snowmelt that once sustained people here.
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, with help from University of Arizona engineering students, is working on that. They've assembled a solar-powered desalination plant next to the well to test a system that one day could be replicated across the reservation.
The well is clear of uranium contamination, a threat for many wells around a reservation that once hosted hundreds of unregulated uranium mines.
An array of photovoltaic panels and mirrors both pumps the water and heats it in a distilling process that recovers 95 percent of the water and dumps the rest with the salt. It's working, but the researchers aren't yet sure of the cost per gallon.
The technology that University of Arizona engineers are testing at a Navajo Reservation well uses solar energy to heat a nontoxic glycol solution, which in turn heats water for purification.
The heat vaporizes the water and increases pressure in a pipe containing thousands filter membranes arrayed like bunched-up straws. Pure water passes to the outside of the straw, but dissolved solids including salt can't. This is the same process that orange juice suppliers use to remove water and make juice concentrate.
The resulting distilled water is mixed back with some of the source water to provide a suitable level of minerals and ions. The remaining unpurified water containing the concentrated brine is dumped into an evaporation pond.
The Bureau of Reclamation has given the university $75,000 in each of the past two years to work on the project, and will seek $150,000 next year for a parallel test of a reverse-osmosis system with the same power source, testing which is more efficient and reliable.
"This is one small component (of a regional water plan)," said Mitch Haws, the bureau's project leader. "It this technology works, it will service about 135 households in the area."
The goal, he said, is to perfect a system that can be replicated and turned over to the tribe's local governments for routine operation and maintenance. He expects the remote plant to produce about 1,000 gallons of clean water daily for households and their livestock.
For now, there are still kinks. This summer Haws spent a morning trying to wrench the sun-tracking mirrors into proper alignment because blowing sand had locked up bearings in the automated system.
The water rising from this well is full of dissolved solids — essentially salt — at 1,400 parts per million. That's double the levels in the Colorado River, and 400 parts per million above the Environmental Protection Agency's drinking standard.
But it's just a fraction of the salt content in the ocean, about 35,000 parts per million. Haws believes solar desalination projects cleaning moderately salty water could be a major part of the Southwest's future water security.
"We've dammed all the rivers that we're going to dam," he said. "I think desalination is the next source."
Parched landscape
A functioning water treatment plant would save a lot of trips to town for residents like the McCabes and their neighbors near a seasonally parched stretch of the Little Colorado River.
"Tell them to hurry," Alice McCabe said as they continued their journey to the well.
Her nephew, 53-year-old Raymond Stayne, lives at the dry homestead. He sometimes drives 80 miles to Oak Creek Canyon, south of Flagstaff, for spring water, because he believes it makes the best coffee. Sometimes, though, he just drinks from the salty well, "If I don't have anything. If I'm dying of thirst."
Tens of thousands of Navajos lack safe drinking water in or near their homes. They include more than 50,000 who haul from unregulated, potentially contaminated sources, according to tribal water officials.
The tribe may yet be awarded a needed slice of the Colorado River, as other tribes have through federal negotiations. But the river is a shrinking resource with no guarantee that even currently binding allocations will hold up in a future with vastly more Southwesterners.
Federal projections, thought conservative by many scientists, predict a river flowing about a tenth behind its historic pace by midcentury.
At Tolani Lake, northeast of Leupp, a flat that once routinely collected water streaming off a mesa is now a dry playa. It was a corn farming center in the 1970s, Hiza Redsteer said, but now grows only dry brush.
That brush and various invasive plants are sucking up more water as the cold season shrinks, she said. At nearly 5,000 feet elevation, the area experienced high temperatures in the 60s last January.
"When that happens," researcher Hiza Redsteer said, "plants aren't dormant in winter anymore."
She believes the drying land and resulting difficulty raising livestock is forcing young Navajos to seek jobs elsewhere. The overall tribal population grew slightly between 2000 and 2010, but the U.S. Census found that the reservation population declined nearly 4 percent, to 174,000.
Ann-Marie Chischilly grew up on the reservation in Shonto, Ariz., and now is saddened when she returns from Flagstaff to the drought-stricken village. Medicinal plants that her grandparents taught her about no longer grow there.
"That little community used to be an oasis with lush yards and gardens," she said. Now, "When it's just a little bit windy, the dust is just unlivable."
Chischilly directs the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals at Northern Arizona University. She fears that continued drought will force more to truck their water as wells dry.
The tribe, she said, must plan for "surviving what could be a difficult time in our history."

The synthetic drug MDMA, commonly known as ecstasy or molly, was legal in the United States until 1985. Today it is popularly considered a party drug, but its former, pre-scheduling use as a potential medical substance is resurfacing with FDA-approved studies. However, MDMA is still illegal, and there are recommended guidelines for consuming it in a responsible manner. Playboy's Yoonj Kim talks with Emanuel Sferios, founder of DanceSafe and MDMA advocate, about harm reduction principles behind MDMA consumption.

This girl that I am currently started going out with has asked me about my love life. Well I told her I have dated, but never really had a relationship. Other than this one girl who I dated and eventually told her I loved her and all that jazz and she ended up showing me her true colors got pregnant by another guy. To me it hurt like hell, and the other little rejections by other girls that I have tried to date. The thing is even though at the time it hurt I just kept telling myself there are others who are having it a whole lot worse. That never covered the pain, but made it a little easier to bear. So after she told me about her dealings with love and I told her about mine, she told me that I am running from heartbreak. Also that I should stop running, because it is inevitable. Even though I am a man it is still something that is hard to swallow, especially when you start falling for a girl. I am always wondering if any girl I am dealing with is going to hurt me, from what I have been told I am always keeping people at arms length and seem to be negative about relationships. Now that I am dating this wonderful girl who is telling about not running from heartbreak, I wonder if she would be the one to really break my heart. I am starting to drop my guard and I am just afraid that my heart will be broken and how would I make it out if it were to happen.
My whole life of running from heartbreak has caught up?

The short answer is that you have no guarantees against heartbreak from anyone. Even if she were perfect, she could get hit by a car one day. And yes, the better something is, the more the loss of it hurts. But that's a rather foolish reason to turn down a good thing. For example, if someone where to offer a million dollars, it would be foolish to turn it down because you're afraid of how bad you would feel if you lost it.
I think much of what makes it harder for you to weigh the good against the bad when considering risks is that you haven't had a lot of good experiences in relationships. The girls who have used you or betrayed you in the past not only hurt you badly, they couldn't have been that good for you in the first place. Otherwise they wouldn't have done what they did. I think you need a truly good relationship to see what they can be like. Then the risk is much more worth taking.00|00|0

Crossfit workout today was "Death @ 50."
50 each of: Ring Row, Box Jump, Toes-To-Bar, kettle bell swing (I did yellow), Lunge Step, Dumbbell Push Press (I did the swirly bar), Deadlift (I did 20k – I was going to do 30k but with this my 3rd day in a row at Crossfit, it was too heavy for 50). OH and THEN… to finish it off . . . Burpees!
I do my box jumps on 2 25k plates…I had to ROLL them across the floor to stack them back up at the end, I couldn't lift them.
Also couldn't lift my arms to drink water. Even tried to balance my water bottle on the key shelf and "tip" it into my mouth.
WHAT a BLAST!
Mind you, AFTER I'd finished I thought to tell the coach that any of us OVER 50 should be allowed to SUBTRACT that "how many years we are over 50" from the set . . . (yes, that would be ME, the only one in the box to benefit from that LOL) It came to me when the guy who does the workout after us (I don't know his name, but he's also after 50) was warming up – and I told HIM he should have Anthony allow that ;-)
Enough of that – have work piling up, and not getting things done like I should. Crossfit is great, but getting there and coming home takes a HUGE chunk out of the day.
Also need to do my "GiveIt100" DUs and rope climb today – plus, I think I might want to add another one for the Nutrition Certification. We've stalled and I REALLY want to get that under my belt.
As you likely imagined – no word from TAR. YET! Turns out (!!) that the niece of one of the gals in my book club is a PRODUCER for TAR. She has told my book club gal that she should apply – but of course, she can NOT TELL her if she DOES apply! (Funny.) She'd likely be great – not sure who her partner would be though! She's the one who is fairly close to 60 now, but just did the Hawaii Ironman – she got there on points, NOT by lottery! :-)

Lee Camp (Nottingham Forest - Undisclosed), Dexter Blackstock (Nottingham Forest - Undisclosed), Damien Delaney (Ipswich Town - Undisclosed). Released: Zesh Rehman (Bradford City), Jake Cole (Barnet), Jordi López (Swansea City), Liam Miller, Danny Maguire, Chris Arthur.
6. Have you made enough signings for the new season? Are they the right signings?
There is a consensus among QPR supporters that we have not strengthened enough for the coming campaign, and there could be more to come from Rangers.
We have gambled on an unknown Argentinean in a fee rising to £3.5m, in truth the initial payment is nowhere near that mark - with some ending up in the pockets of Inter Milan who had first refusal on the player.
Adel Taarabt is an exciting prospect, but against Tottenham and QPR fans will agree that while he has a lot of exciting talent, other parts of his game require development to ensure he becomes the finished article.
Magilton stated after taking over that he would assess his options in the squad before strengthening, and would only look to replace players that leave - so far the departures outweigh the inclusions and so we wait with baited breath!
Are they the right signings? Well we already have an accomplished set-up in my opinion, an we lost a season last time out through injuries to influential players - Rowlands, Buzsaky, Vine to name but three.
I think the couple of new additions combined with our current squad could see us over the horizon and into the playoffs - that all depends on many variables including how strong the teams coming down/up are, and whether we decide to stick the ball in the back of the net to supplement our outstanding defensive form.
7. What are the expectations amongst the fans for this year?
Tempered expecation this year I think. Fans had their fingers burnt last year with empty promises and hollow boasts, and I am cautiously optimistic about the campaign.
I would obviously love to see us get playoffs or better, but that would be my heart ruling my head, as it so often does. The reality of the situation is that we must strengthen further upfront, and in full back areas to really threaten the division's elite.
8. Key player(s)
The one we haven't signed yet? That would be a common answer across the board in the Championship I think! In seriousness Adel Taarabt is a match changing player and could be the one to put us on the right footing. While being undoubtedly blessed with talent, he needs to harness this ability if his time with QPR is to be mutually beneficial.
Elsewhere, we have a very specialy commodity in Angelo Balanta. The young Colombian is without a doubt the most exciting thing to grace the QPR youth system in a long time, and I hope this season is his coming of age.
9. Your thoughts ahead of the new Championship campaign, are you confident or worried going into the new season? How do you think your year will pan out?
Well, as previously mentioned, it's a case of cautious optimism. I wasn't overly-impressed that we appointed Magilton in the first place, but he is growing on me by the day - as is the importance of his assistant John Gorman.
If the two work well together and get the best out of the players at their disposal, then the sky is the limit for us. We have to be realistic and understand that we won't have our best players available all the time and need to strengthen with squad players.
If we correct our faults of last season and keep up our outstanding goalscoring record, then this could be an exciting season for the R's.
10. Predict the Top 2 and Play-off winner and the 3 clubs to go down
Champions - Sheffield United: They have the necessary fire power to kick them on to the Premier League this time out. The signing of Ched Evans set their intentions fairly clearly and I would be surprised if they didn't go one better this season and return to the Premier League.
Promoted - Middlesbrough: Whenever they have loaned a player out to the Championship, they usually do the business, and with a squad full of young talent, combined with some experienced pro's, I can't look beyond Southgate's men for second place.
Playoffs - Nottingham Forest: This all depends on whether their new signings manage to gel. This is not based on Dexter Blackstock, but on the likes of Adebola, McGoldrick and Earnshaw will be enough to take them to the playoffs. Lee Camp I believe is an inspired capture by Davies, and at a cut-price too.
Going Down - Watford: Not that I would take any satisfaction in this whatsoever, but it seems the Hornets are working on a shoestring, and the appointment of Malky Mackay has set their intention from the off - reminds me of QPR appointing Holloway back in 2001, cheap and available.
Going Down - Scunthorpe: Sorry Iron fans but I think your stay will be as brief as last time. While Gary Hooper and Paul Hayes have fired in League One, it has been proven that they cannot cut the mustard at this level. Even if they do find their touch at Glanford Park, I cannot see the defence standing up to what are some powerful attacking sides in the Championship.
Going Down - Barnsley: Simon Davey has done a good job at Oakwell in the last few seasons, staving off relegation with the Tykes. But it appears that the voices of discontent are beginning to sound, and a bad start could see Davey out of a job and the Tykes out of time.

Two men have been sentenced to two years in prison for lying to a federal firearms licensee to purchase several guns.
U.S. Attorney John Horn said Monday that 23-year-old Jaleel Wulu of Maryland and Georgia-native Javaree Williams pleaded guilty in March to conspiring to make false statements to purchase multiple firearms from several federally licensed firearms dealers. Williams said he purchased 26 firearms, all but one of which he sold to Wulu from Dec. 2014 to Nov. 2015.
Horn says Wulu gave 24-year-old Williams the money for his firearms purchases and sometime traveled to Atlanta to accompany Williams to the firearms dealer location to choose the guns. Wulu lived in Maryland and Georgia during the conspiracy.
Law enforcement recovered multiple firearms in Maryland and Ohio that were purchased by Williams for Wulu.

A Wal-Mart workers wage is $13,650 a year, the Wal-Mart CEO makes $16,826.92 an hour, and Sam Walton's litter is worth over $100 billion = Revolution.
Ownership of the commanding heights of the economy is what gives the rich their power to get richer at the expense of workers. That's been the Marxist or socialist view since Das Kapital was published. (1)
The rich outright own The Democrats and Republicans and the political prostitutes who run them who, if they weren't rich when entered office, soon find ways to get rich. That's why the term 'Congressional ethics" has become a sick joke and why approval rates for Congress declined from 84% in 2002 to 10% in 2012. (2) There is no way to defeat the twin parties of the rich in the political arena of modern capitalist 'democracies' because they control the media and write the laws that limit the political process to events and outcomes they have absolute control over.
The US is a banana republic – bigger, richer and more successful than most, but a banana republic in every sense of the word.
Corporate looting of the economy by multinationals depends on the inventiveness of CEO's in refining looting practices and busting unions. (3) They're the highest paid corporate workers but even with bloated salaries and golden parachutes their wealth, except for certain family run corporations, doesn't even begin to approach the wealth of the .01%. For example "Walmart CEO Michael Duke's $35 million salary, when converted to an hourly wage, worked out to $16,826.92. By comparison, at a Walmart store planned for the Windy City's Pullman neighborhood, new employees to be paid $8.75 an hour would gross $13,650 a year." (4)
By contrast "Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent who caucuses with Democrats, tweeted a startling statistic to his followers on July 22, 2012: "Today the Walton family of Walmart own more wealth than the bottom 40 percent of America. … Six members of the Walton family appear on the Forbes 400 list of the wealthiest Americans. Christy Walton, widow of the late John Walton, leads the clan at No. 6 with a net worth of <b>$25.3 billion</b> as of March 2012. She is also the richest woman in the world for the seventh year in a row, according to Forbes. Here are the other five:
No. 9: Jim Walton, $23.7 billion
No. 10: Alice Walton, $23.3 billion
No. 11: S. Robson Walton, oldest son of Sam Walton, <b>$23.1 billion
No. 103: Ann Walton Kroenke, $3.9 billion
No. 139: Nancy Walton Laurie, $3.4 billion
That's a grand total of $102.7 billion for the whole family." (5)
That, $35 million vs $23 billion, is the difference between being a very highly paid employee and a member the looting class, the ruling class.
The best strategy for the left is to help organize the two newly radicalized layers of working people represented by the growing left wing of unions and radicalized, unemployed or underemployed and marginalized workers represented by the Occupier movements. Many of the Occupiers are people who once supported but now reject Obama and the Democrats.
The two main parties, in spite of all their anti-democratic laws, beginning with the Electoral College, their control of the media and their access to unlimited funds from the looter classes are in trouble. They're splintering internally and the level partisan rancor they exhibit makes it difficult for them to rule. Both, in my opinion, should change their names to the Whig Party. Like the Hapsburg's and the Romanov's, they no longer possess the ability to rule effectively in the sense of solving questions like war and prosperity. That fact will doom not only them but the looter class they serve.

The last two games haven't been pretty – to say the least. I didn't want to react to either game right away, so I let some time pass before I took a look at the Bearcats.
It didn't help.
If Tommy Tuberville thought his seat was hot (in the fans' eyes) after the 45-20 loss to South Florida – he may want to put on some asbestos pants after Saturday's performance against Connecticut. Thanks to 20 unanswered points against the Huskies, UC now sits at 0-3 in the American Athletic Conference and is now officially in desperation mode. Sure, no one from inside Nippert will admit it; but, this team has to win now or the situation is going to get ugly.
What is there to say about a performance where your offense racked up two (yes, two; not a typo) yards rushing? The complete lack of a rushing game allowed UConn to concentrate on the pass. Yes, Hayden Moore threw for 315 yards; but, the Cats were unable to cross the goal line. It's tough to win when you don't score touchdowns. The defense played well, giving up 20 points. However, the unit was left with little margin for error thanks to the offense's anemic performance.
What's next? The Bearcats have a good chance to rest up and figure out what is wrong with the bye week upon us. That said, this team and this coaching staff can't come out flat against ECU. Anything less than a win could spell the end of the road for Tuberville – and he needs to coach like his job is on the line. The preseason optimism has quickly waned and any chance at a bowl game (much less a jump to the Big 12) are rapidly fading in the rearview mirror.

Business Tips: Goal-Setting
Regardless of what type of business you own, setting reasonable goals is one of the most important steps you can take in ensuring that your business sees adequate growth. Many times business owners will set goals that are either too small or too big – for example, setting a goal that should take a year to reach in a one-month time span – which in turn hinders the success of their business. Here are a few ways you can make sure you are setting strategic goals appropriate for your own business' well-being:
First, look at the hard evidence. Making adjustments to the way your business carries out certain strategies according to facts and results is the best way for your business to improve. According to an article published by Better Business Bureaus, "When things aren't going well or as you had planned, take a step back and analyze why this may be happening. As soon as you realize that you need to make a change, consult with mentors and use the information you have to adjust," (3 Strategies for Getting the Most Out of Your Business). If you notice that certain actions result in failure to deliver a desired outcome, make the changes needed to ensure those actions do not repeat.
Next, finding a mentor to emulate is a great way to see your business take off. It's usually best to choose an idol who is either in a similar realm of business as you or whose success rate is admirable enough for you to look into and imitate. Looking deeply into a mentor's hard work ethic, education, habits, and whatever else it may be that has helped them reach a high level of success is a great way to give yourself and your employees a role model to look up to. This way, you can set goals that revolve around this mentor's road to success and hope that your business can show some sort of improvement after imitating.
Finally, set goals that avoid taking shortcuts. Taking shortcuts often means that a business is skipping chances for professional development, which will often lead to undesirable outcomes. According to Better Business Bureaus:
"Your business must be build on ethical business practices, knowledge of your product and company, a desire to improve via professional development, and a commitment to representing your company and serving customers to the best of your ability," (3 Strategies for Getting the Most Out of Your Business).
So, when you set business goals, be sure that they are always ethical and promote self-improvement and professional enhancement. Though it may take longer, when you reach these kinds of goals you will notice a strong, empowering change in your business' success and the work ethics of your employees.

Advance, Australia's global innovation network, and KPMG Australia today revealed the 11 enterprise tech startups selected to take part in the 2016 elevate61 program.

They represent a cross-section of Australia's startup eco-system with six headquartered in Sydney, three in Melbourne, two in Adelaide and one in Queensland's Gold Coast.
The 11 companies have proven their traction by securing customers and delivering strong business results, together achieving a combined turnover in excess of AUD 25 million over the past 12 months.
James Mabbott, Head of KPMG Innovate commented: "Based on the number of quality scalable businesses uncovered during the elevate61 application process, I can honestly say there has never been a more exciting time to be an Australian enterprise tech startup.

"By upskilling these proven businesses and entrepreneurs, and accelerating their understanding of the US market, elevate61 hopes to empower the next generation of global Australian leaders."

In April, they will have days of intensive workshops that will provide specific guidance on how to approach the US markets. In May they will journey to the US for a 10-day programmed visit to San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York. Following the trip, the program includes 'demo-day' style presentations to investors and Australian corporates.
Serafina Maiorano, Global CEO, Advance commented: "We are excited to be working with a fantastic group of Aussie startups and help them go global from Australia.
