If you want to learn about growing medical marijuana, don't call the University of Florida's agricultural extension offices.
DELAND — If you want to learn about growing medical marijuana, don't call the University of Florida's agricultural extension offices.
As Floridians prepare to head to the polls Nov. 4 to vote on medical marijuana, the university's agricultural extension office in DeLand has received several inquiries from people interested in getting into the budding business.
When that happens, Karen Stauderman, a commercial horticulture extension agent, refers them elsewhere.
"There is nothing we can say about it," she said.
Running afoul of federal law in the murky medical marijuana landscape could potentially put the university at risk of losing "hundreds of millions of dollars" in research grants and student financial aid, said Janine Sikes, a university spokeswoman.
UF requested an opinion from an outside legal expert, Lynn Mehler, a partner with the Washington-based law firm Hogan Lovells. In a letter to UF President Bernie Machen, the attorney wrote federal law prohibits the university from participating "in the cultivation, manufacture or distribution of marijuana for any purpose, including for medical treatment or research."
While Amendment 2 — the measure that would allow for medical marijuana in Florida — would provide immunity under state law for marijuana possession for medical purposes, federal law considers marijuana to be a Schedule 1 drug, meaning it has no accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. Other Schedule 1 drugs include heroin and LSD.
Amendment 2 states it provides no immunity under federal law.
As a result, "the university could not join with the agricultural industry in Florida to participate in, or oversee/supervise, the cultivation, manufacture or distribution of marijuana," wrote Jamie Lewis Keith, vice president and general counsel.
Faculty could engage in data-based research without possessing marijuana if it complies with other applicable laws, Keith wrote.
In an advisory memo issued last year, the U.S. Department of Justice indicated it would focus its enforcement efforts on preventing the distribution of marijuana to minors, stopping drug money from going to gangs and cartels and interrupting the diversion of marijuana to states where it is illegal, among other enforcement priorities.
But the stakes are high, Keith wrote, if the federal government decided to act, given the amount of federal funding the university receives.
Selected as the nation's only legal pot farm in 1968, the University of Mississippi is the only institution authorized by the federal government to grow marijuana for research purposes.
U.S. Rep. John Mica, whose district includes western Volusia County, is leading a panel examining the implications of loosening restrictions on the drug.
Mica declined comment Tuesday, but in previous statements, the Republican lawmaker has criticized the Obama administration for what he considers to be a "schizophrenic" approach on marijuana. Mica referenced the president's recent comments to The New Yorker magazine that he considers marijuana to be no more dangerous than alcohol, which contradicts official federal policy.
"We've gone from 'just say no,' then we had 'I didn't inhale,' and now it's 'just say maybe' or 'just go ahead,' " Mica said during a Feb. 4 hearing.

Notre Dame Q&A with Matt Fortuna of ESPN.com
- Updated: November 21, 2013
Opponent Notebook: A preview of Notre Dame with some help from Matt Fortuna of ESPN.com.
After a cake walk against Idaho State, BYU hits the road to face fellow independent foe Notre Dame. We were able to catch up with Matt Fortuna, Notre Dame writer for ESPN.com, and get his thoughts on this week's game.
LOYAL COUGARS: After a tough road loss to Pitt, Notre Dame's BCS chances were dashed. How has the team responded and what is their outlook on the rest of the season?
Matt Fortuna, ESPN.com: Notre Dame has a senior class that has been through a lot of ups and downs, and the players have at least said all of the right things since the loss at Pitt. Whether they come out and play great against BYU is really anyone's guess, as this team has been remarkably unpredictable this season. But with two good opponents remaining, and with that Stanford game Nov. 30 looking a lot less daunting, the prospects of a 10-3 season (with a bowl win) is definitely something worth shooting for.
LC: Teams with strong defensive fronts have given BYU trouble in 2013. Will the Irish front seven be at full strength this Saturday?
Matt: The bye week really could not have come at a better time for this Notre Dame team, which entered the season looking to rely on its defensive line but has really never had its first-team unit all healthy at the same time. Stephon Tuitt has rounded into form after dealing with the after-effects of hernia surgery and then a back issue. Sheldon Day has been bothered by a high ankle sprain for much of the season but is probably as healthy as he's been since September. And Louis Nix returned at Pitt and did what he could after missing two games with a small meniscus tear and tendinitis. Of course, right as the first unit gets back, several key reserves (Kona Schwenke, Isaac Rochell, Jarron Jones) are all dealing with ankle issues that may sideline them this weekend, though Kelly said all looked good Monday in practice. (Schwenke missed the Pitt game, too.) Still, the line remains very thin.
LC: BYU fans are thankful they don't have to see Theo Riddick, Cierre Wood and Tyler Eifert again this season. Tell us about the skill players who have stepped in for the Irish.
Matt: No skill player has delivered more than TJ Jones, who has probably been the team's MVP this year. Some of us looked at Brian Kelly a little funny this summer when he talked Jones up as the next Tyler Eifert or Michael Floyd of this offense, but he has certainly delivered despite his size, finding the end zone time after time and making plays big and small. Troy Niklas is another guy who has grown into his enhanced role, as the big tight end has proven difficult to cover 1-on-1 and continues to improve as a blocker. As for the running backs? Your guess is as good as mine. Freshman Tarean Folston delivered the best performance of any of them, against Navy, but Cam McDaniel has been the most consistent, with George Atkinson III showing flashes here and there. The Irish have simply not been able to gain any kind of consistency from their backfield, something they must fix moving forward next season.
LC: The BYU offense has established itself as one of the fastest in the nation. How are the Irish preparing for BYU's up-tempo offense?
Matt: By not practicing, of course! Kelly chose to not practice during the bye week for the first time in his 23-year head-coaching career, since the risk was not worth the reward given his depleted roster. Defensively, though, the Irish have been far from the dominant unit of last season. Part of that can be blamed on injuries, part of that can be blamed on missed tackles. As for Xs and Os this week, we in the media have not seen a single minute of practice since camp, though Kelly said Tuesday that the team worked on defending tempo Monday.
LC: The career of Tommy Rees has been one full of ups and downs. What kind of performance do you expect from Rees in his final game at Notre Dame Stadium?
Matt: For one, I hope he gets the loudest ovation of any senior in the pregame ceremony. The fans have been ridiculously harsh and unfair on Rees throughout his career. And, then, of course, many changed their mind during the second half of the USC game, when Rees left with a neck strain and Andrew Hendrix led them to a grand total of 30 total yards for the rest of the game. Rees is obviously limited physically compared to some other BCS quarterbacks, but he has certainly been reliable for a program that saw Everett Golson get himself suspended and Gunner Kiel transfer. And the locker room loves him. As for how he performs this week? There are always a few throws that make you cringe as a viewer, and we had thought he was past performances like the one he had at Pitt. Still, he has risen to the occasion several times before, most noticeably last year, and I'd expect a stellar home finale for the senior.
LC: How do you see the game playing out?
Matt: Notre Dame has underachieved this year. Notre Dame has also beaten three Top 25 teams. So yeah, the Irish have been consistently inconsistent, if nothing else. BYU is definitely capable of winning this game, but I see the Irish playing mistake-fee football Saturday and pulling out a close win to make it 4-0 under Kelly in Senior Days.
UPDATE via Matt's ESPN.com blog:
Prediction: BYU 23, Notre Dame 20. I was leaning in the Irish's direction earlier this week, but the loss of Nix — on top of some of the other guys at less than 100 percent — is just too much to overcome against this good, and this fast, of a Cougars team.

Strip Me Baby One More Time
TROUBLED pop princess Britney Spears will shock her fans all over again...by baring all in a steamy comeback video.
Britney, 26, cavorts naked in a sauna before vamping it up as a sexy chauffeur to tease a hunk in a limo.She then poses as a sassy secretary to tell off her lover before transforming into a wild waitress in the Womanizer video, directed by music guru Joseph Kahn.
The raunchy shots are a far cry from sad snaps of her looking podgy with a shaved head at her lowest point last year. Then the mum- of-two was going through a custody battle with ex Kevin Federline, amid rumours of drug abuse and mental breakdown.
But she has bounced back, winning three MTV awards, and Womanizer is set to send her back to the top of the charts.
She is to perform the track - from new album Circus - on Simon Cowell's American Idol.
But she is not out of trouble yet. Last week a Los Angeles court ruled she will have to face trial for driving without a licence.

The administrator of last year's civil settlement between BP and thousands of victims of the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill said Wednesday he has now offered $4.44 billion in payments to claimants, up about $470 million from a month ago.
According to the report filed in federal court in New Orleans by claims administrator Patrick Juneau, some 53,309 eligibility notices have gone out with the offers, a per-claim average of about $83,000.
BP is awaiting word from a federal appeals court on its challenge to the way Juneau is calculating payments to claimants reporting business economic losses.
In his latest report, Juneau says the total includes $2.67 billion on 10,516 business economic loss claims, a per-claim average of roughly $254,000.

Al Qaedas chief of operations in Pakistan killed in US missile strikeJanuary 9th, 2009 - 12:05 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, Jan 9 (ANI): Two top al Qaeda terrorists have been killed in a US missile strike on a building in northern Pakistan on New Years Day.
The men were high on the FBIs most wanted list, identified by agency officials as Usama al-Kini also known as Fahid Mohammed Ally Msalam, al Qaedas chief of operations in Pakistan and his lieutenant, Sheikh Ahmed Salim Swedan.
Senior US officials said that the two men, both Kenyans, were believed to have been responsible for the September suicide bombing at the Marriott hotel in Islamabad, Pakistan.
The pair was also under indictment for the 1998 bombings of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, which killed more than 220 people and injured scores of others, according to the officials.
These are two of the most dangerous operational figures in todays al Qaeda, the CNN quoted one senior official, as saying.
The officials could not confirm the particulars of the attack that killed them, but The Washington Post reported that the men were slain in a missile strike by a CIA pilotless drone aircraft.
The men were believed to have been behind numerous suicide attacks in Pakistan, including ones targeting police facilities and a Pakistani air force bus.
The officials said that the men were involved in working with explosives when the strike occurred.
One of the officials said al-Kini was al Qaedas operations director for Pakistan and believed to be behind the September 20 Marriott car bombing that killed 53 people.
The official also said al-Kini also was behind a failed attempt to kill Benazir Bhutto shortly after she returned to Pakistan from exile in October 2007. (ANI)

I'll agree with you partly. I thought X2 was terrific, but obviously some huge disapointments for me, like with Cyclops being a total non factor. Although the scene at the end and the way Marsden played that, I thought was great.
Needless to say, there are flaws there for sure, but I have to view those movies in the context in which they were made. It's easy to be critical now when we've had Spider-man 2, Iron Man, etc. which really pushed the boundries of the franchise.

Very good job on Chidori, very cool :)
looks great
I have a question, I was looking at some of your first submitted pictures to see how much you've progressed (and trust me, you have). But will this game ONLY have Jappense voices, or both, or just English?
NNK features only Japanese voices. Although i'm sure one of our many talented fan's will make an English voice pack to replace our sounds if that's truly what you want.
But officially, NNK is strictly Japanese.
Nah it's okay, just asking.
it makes you wonder how they are gonna do sharingann

happytrickster, Meir Yedid, who now owns and markets my tape "On the Pass," is going to put it out on DVD soon. But, it will probably be a region free NTSC DVD, not PAL. Do you have an all system DVD player?

"You do not ignore 90 percent of the American people on an issue of public safety," MSNBC anchor Joe Scarborough said the morning after the U.S. Senate voted down the Toomey-Manchin gun control bill. "Mark it down, this is going to be a turning point in the history of the Republican Party. … This party that killed this background check yesterday — this party is moving toward extinction."
Scarborough was referring to a Washington Post poll purporting to show that 90 percent of the American people fervently supported the expanded background checks in the Toomey-Manchin gun control bill. That poll was widely cited by Democrats and gun-control activists as proof that the vast majority of Americans supported their gun control agenda.
But now that the vote is over, the Post is out with a different poll that better reflects Americans' true opinion on the issue. From the Post:
Liberals like Scarborough, and the whole set of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," had so completely surrounded themselves with like-minded people that the 90 percent poll number they were citing actually sounded accurate. While, in actuality, if they had been in any real contact with real Americans outside the New York-Washington corridor, they would have known that opposition to Toomey-Manchin was very widespread.
If the White House wants to know why their agenda has stalled, they are not going to find the answers on MSNBC.

We triage all referrals to the APMHS between the hours of 8:30am – 4:30pm. We can be contacted on 1300 721 927. We address referrals from anyone. This component of the service is managed by the APMH Access Team.
When a referral is accepted for assessment the client or their next of kin will be contacted by a mental health clinician to organise the assessment. Following the assessment and in collaboration with the client and family/Carer a recommendation will be made for an appropriate treatment/service either by the APMH or by an alternative community service.
We have a 30 bed short term acute assessment unit for clients who may require more intensive assessment and treatment in an inpatient admission.
When a client is accepted for treatment a Mental Health Clinician is appointed who will support the client/family/carer throughout their recovery journey.
Intensive community treatment is offered for clients who are more acutely unwell and may need an admission but would prefer to be treated at home. Referral to this service is made by the APMHS following an assessment and acceptance and with families /Carers for support and treatment. The aim of ICT is to prevent lengthy admissions and in the inpatient unit and in keeping with the philosophy of least restrictive environment. This component of the service is managed by the APMH Access Team.
This program works with clients/Carers who are in Commonwealth Residential Care Facilities. Referal to these service is through the APMH Access.
CL is offered by our psychiatrists to non-mental health wards in Peter James Centre and Wantirna Health.
APMHS offers consultation and education to other services and groups on request. There may be a fee for this service in certain circumstances.
Support for families and carers is a very important part of the service and APMHS has - support groups. The groups offer an opportunity for carers to meet, learn and support each other. APMHS has a Carer Consultant and can be contacted through the inpatient unit (South Ward, Peter James Centre, Burwood East).
We have two specialist residential care facilities for patients with challenging behaviours who may need longer term treatment and specialised psychiatric care. While these facilities are classified as nursing homes they are not permanent stay units.

We both honestly thought that she was driving she drives every saturday and this Saturday my car broke down and she followed me in case it happened again. But she is now aware that she wasn't as wheb selling the car we saw on the service records the dates
FOR JOMO1972 no
points have been given to her she is booked for an awareness course which isn't for another 4 weeks so is it to late to act before then? We want ti be honest about what has happened as its a genuine mistake but obviously worry about any repercussions either way now. Whats best to do?

COURTS FGM Advisory: The child victim in the Bristol Crown Court FGM trial which finished on Thursday is the subject of an order under Section 45 of the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act. Judge Julian Lambert directed that the defendant should not be identified, as this would risk identifying the victim. Judge Lambert has also directed that the following can be reported:
:: Age of child:: Age of defendant:: That the defendant is the child's father:: From an inner-city area of Bristol – nothing further:: The defendant at "one point" drove a private hire vehicle:: The nationality of the defendant
Judge Lambert said that anyone who reports any further details about the defendant and victim is "in grave risk that they could contravene the S45 order".

The Three Rivers Post & Standard � URA to Crush Longtime Pittsburgh Landlords You gotta love government meddlers when it comes to development. Their supporters always crow, crow, crow about what they build — even when it fails, as have many of their initiatives in the downtown Pittsburgh area . We are always reminded that nothing would have happened if the meddlers didn't do their deals.

We are proud of the fact that the Coffee Party is a gathering place for former Republicans and questioning Republicans who put the facts first when looking at important issues. One of my primary goals as a Coffee Party leader is to create a "safe environment" where no one is bullied or rejected because of their beliefs, cultural background, or upbringing. There are, unfortunately, some in our community who are distrustful and even hateful toward Republicans, but, many moderate Republicans have told me that the Coffee Party community is the one where "we are least abused." Let's see if we can improve on that.
Our Tuesday Sept. 25th presentation of The Middle Ground (8 to 9:30 pm ET) will be dedicated to current and former Republicans who are unhappy with the extreme elements of their party. D.R. Tucker is a freelance writer and conservative thought-leader who strongly opposed Massachusetts Gov. Duvall Patrick, then had a change of heart and recently explained his decision to vote for President Obama in his essay "Breaking Away." Alanna Almeda is a life-long Republican, a blogger and a stay-at-home mom in Prince William County, VA best know for standing up against her party on the issue of immigration. Lacy Ward Jr. is a former Republican nominee for the Alabama House of Delegates, and staffer for two Virginia Congressmen who has been critical of President Obama's approach to education. And, Hal Ziegler is a former Republican State Senator from the state of Michigan.
with Michael Charney & Eric Byler
Tuesdays at 8 pm ET (5 pm PT)
Click here for the podcast.
The hosts of The Middle Ground include moderate Republican Michael Charney, and filmmaker and registered Independent Eric Byler (me). Both of us have a track record of reaching across the aisle. Michael Charney has decided to remain a Republican in order to fight for the soul of the party. Michael Stafford fought that fight for years but has given up and become an Independent who is very critical (as Charney has been at times) of the Mitt Romney campaign.

It has a great location in a tiny piazzetta just off the north end of the Ponte Vecchio. In an area teeming with tourists, the little square is remarkably peaceful.
The 74 rooms and suites are quite masculine in feel, but no less comfortable for it. The beige/white/brown/black theme continues here and black and white framed photographs of Florence hang on the walls. The standard rooms are small but lack for nothing; these are on the lower floors and don't have views. If you want more light, go for an upper floor suite; the three penthouses at the top have private terraces and extraordinary views.
Public areas
The Gallery's library is one of my favourite hotel spaces in Florence. Its warm lighting, squashy sofas, ranks of cushions, cashmere throws, deep carpet and shelves of arty books cry out for you to curl up for a read. The restaurant/bar (open to the public, and very popular) is also an inviting room. Gallery guests are invited to use the spectacular roof terrace bar of its neighbouring sister hotel, the [node:170504]. The public areas are also used for contemporary art and photography shows.
Eating and drinking
As the name suggests, the Fusion bar and restaurant serves up dishes based on the fusion of Italian, Mediterranean and oriental cuisines; some work, others are less convincing. It's a popular spot for cocktails with the local in-crowd, especially in the summer when the big deck comes into its own. Breakfast, with a whole array of fresh pastries, fruit, cheeses and meats, is served in the library area.
Black-clad reception staff are helpful without being super-friendly. Internet connection is free.
Who stays there
Film people and the fashion crowd, especially during the bi-annual Pitti Uomo menswear trade fair. Style-conscious tourists.

Baking chocolate chip cookies is a real hassle at my house because I can't eat gluten but the rest of my family can. Finding a cookie that all of us love has been a two-year adventure.
But we have a winner!
Everyone in my family loves Elizabeth Hasselbeck's chocolate chip cookies from her book "Deliciously G-Free" (You can also find the recipe online right here.)
The only problem with these cookies is that they are a pain in the butt to make. They require 14 ingredients, including four different types of flour!
So what I like to do is make up chocolate chip cookie mixes ahead of time. All of the ingredients fit neatly into mason jars, except for the eggs, butter, vanilla and chocolate chips.
This also helps spread out the cost of buying so many unusual flours. My homemade mixes end up being half of the price of premade G-free cookie mixes from the store.
An added bonus to this recipe is that if you use margarine and Enjoy Life chocolate chips, the cookies are gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free AND nut-free. That's something to keep in mind if you ever need to bring treats to school for an allergy challenged classroom.
Add a glass of milk and yum-yum!

Plug it in to your computer and the eBook shows up as a FAT drive, but it complains if you copy too many books into the root of the drive and we couldn't create a new folder there either.
There's no problem adding more books via Adobe's Digital Editions though. This is the software you need to load up protected ebooks; you have to install Digital Editions, sign up for an Adobe ID (giving details like your address) and authorise both your PC and the eBook.
This lets you put ebooks on up to six devices and gives you a backup of purchased books if you delete them accidentally.
The Elonex eBook shows up as a 'bookshelf' in Digital Editions and you can add unprotected PDF and ePub files to the library to copy across.
When you download ebooks you buy from Borders, the link you get from the checkout is supposed to open the ebook directly in Digital Editions; we found this didn't work until we saved the licence file and associated the file type with Digital Editions by hand (a problem with Adobe's installation software rather than the Borders store).
Borders has some 45,000 ebooks, ranging from £300 encyclopaedias to £1.99 romance novels; you can get travel guides and cookbooks as well as fiction, but most titles are best sellers - if you're looking for your favourite genre authors, you probably won't find them on Borders UK yet.
You can buy ebooks from anywhere that sells them in the ePub format and load them through Digital Editions, but it's not the same integrated experience you get with Amazon and the Kindle.
eBooks can seem rather pricey; a new release will cost the same £14-16 as a hardback and older books are the same £6-8 as paperbacks. Publishers argue that the editing and production costs are still high but when you're paying £189 for your own reader, you might expect cheaper ebooks toren make up for your initial investment.

PMP / CAPM Exam Preparation Guide
Business & Economics/Project Management When you're studying for the PMP?/CAPM? exam, the most important thing to manage is your time This practical guide will help you study for the Project Management Professional (PMP? )/Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM? ) Certification Exam more efficiently and productively. It is aligned with and references PMI's Project Management Body of Knowledge, Third Edition (PMBOK ? Guide). Unlike other review materials that are organized according to knowledge areas and cover the forty-four processes almost equally, this guide divides materials into process groups or domains and weights your review materials the way PMP?/CAPM? weights the exam. For example, approximately 11% of the exam questions will be on the Initiation Phase, so approximately 11% of the review materials in this book covers the Initiation Phase. The guide flows like projects flow. There are six sections: * Initiation Phase * Planning Phase * Execution Phase * Monitor and Control Phase * Closing Phase * Professional Responsibility This is not an unabridged "everything you ever need to know about project management" guide. It focuses exclusively on information you need to know to pass the exam and features: * A total of 175 pre-review questions and 175 post-review questions, along with complete answers and explanations * The facts, presented clearly and concisely with no frills, no fine print, and no digression * Terms, definitions, formulas, charts, diagrams, and lists that help you retain the information and pass the test * Advice on how to study and how to take the actual exam, plus a comprehensive index, so it's easy to find information you want to review

GRAHAM Construction has helped lay the foundations for a budding career in construction for a local Stornoway student.
Christopher Morrison, who left the Nicolson Institute in 2011, will spend the summer learning the trade at the £8.5 million Lews Castle refurbishment project where GRAHAM Construction is the main contractor.
Christopher is studying for his honours degree in construction management at Glasgow Caledonian University and is gaining valuable on-site experience..
He has been on site since May and will work through all areas of the development until September.
Christopher hopes the placement will boost his career credentials. He said: "The chance to work on the Lews Castle refurbishment project has been a fantastic learning opportunity for me. The practical experience I've already gained on site will help me on the last year of my course and the next steps I need to take to begin my career.
"My ambition is to achieve more responsibility and develop skills as quickly and as thoroughly as I can so I can start in the industry as soon as possible after leaving university."
Jim McNally, project manager at GRAHAM Construction, said: "The Lews Castle refurbishment project offers Christopher an ideal platform to experience a broad set of technical skills required in a complex conservation and maintenance project, giving him the tools to build a career in industry.
"Christopher is a terrific asset to have around the site, he's enthusiastic and it's an enjoyable experience to pass on our expertise to the next generation of construction workers.
"I have no doubt Christopher will continue to build upon what he is learning on site and progress successfully within the industry."

Seismic anisotropy is required for a correct interpretation of the retrieved S-velocity structure in tomographic studies at least in the first 400 km of the upper mantle (Gung et al., 2003). A detailed knowledge of the seismic anisotropic structure of the earth's mantle also provides insight into paleo and recent deformation processes and therefore mantle dynamics. As a consequence, seismic anisotropy is a very powerful ``tool'' with the potential to shed light onto debated geophysical issues, such as the nature and strength of the lithosphere/asthenosphere coupling, the depth extent of continental sub-regions and the relation of imaged seismic anisotropy to present-day asthenospheric flow and/or past tectonic events recorded in the lithosphere.
To date, our knowledge of the North American upper mantle anisotropic structure arises mainly from global tomographic models (e.g. Ritsema et al., 1999; Gung et al., 2003) or SKS splitting studies (e.g. Fouch et al., 2000; Savage and Sheehan, 2000), which lack horizontal and vertical resolution respectively, and are limited to either radial or azimuthal anisotropy. It is most probably due to these limitations that to date continental anisotropic models derived from surface and body wave data are not in agreement and cannot be reconciled.
Our goal is a new high resolution model for the North American upper mantle incorporating both radial and azimuthal anisotropy. We aim at unprecedented lateral and depth resolution by improving both data coverage and methodology.
We consider fundamental and overtone surface waveforms selected from 3 component long period seismograms. Surface wave data for paths relevant to the study region have been extracted from the existing compilation used for global tomography in Panning and Romanowicz (2006). This dataset has been further complemented with waveforms from events at teleseismic and far regional distances (15165) recorded at permanent and temporary broad band seismic stations in North America. The collected dataset includes data for 657 events from 1990 to 2003, with between 6.0 and 7.0. Each seismogram is filtered (between 60 s and 220 s to 1 hour, according to the event magnitude) and divided into wavepackets containing individual fundamental and higher mode first orbit energy packets. Each wavepacket is weighted so as to equalize the contribution of large and small amplitude packets in the least-squares inversion. Our final dataset consists of more than 18,000 fundamental mode and 27,000 higher modes high quality surface wave packets, which provides a fairly homogeneous path and azimuthal coverage for North America.
In addition, we compiled station average SKS splitting measurements (delay times dt and fast axis directions and their uncertainties) from published studies for about 300 North American stations.
We apply a full waveform tomographic method based on the Non-linear Asymptotic Coupling Theory (NACT - Li and Romanowicz (1995)), which permits the inversion of entire long period seismograms in the time domain (including fundamental mode and overtones portions of the record) for 3D elastic structure. NACT is a normal-mode perturbation approach, which takes into account coupling between modes both along and across dispersion branches. The asymptotic calculation of this coupling allows the computation to 2D broad band sensitivity kernels which more rigorously reproduce the sensitivity of body waveforms to structure along and around the ray geometrical path in the vertical plane containing the source and the receiver.
To ensure high quality of the retrieved regional upper mantle structure, accurate crustal corrections are essential. Here, we follow an approach which goes beyond the linear perturbation approximation and split the correction into a linear and non-linear part (Montagner and Jobert, 1988).
We followed an iterative inversion approach. In a first step, we inverted waveform data simultaneously for perturbations in the isotropic S-velocity structure and the anisotropic parameter . While keeping this obtained radial anisotropic model fixed, in a second step we inverted the waveform dataset jointly with the compiled SKS splitting measurements for two additional parameters related to the dominant 2 azimuthal dependence of the propagation velocity of surface waves (Montagner et al., 2000; Marone and Romanowicz, 1996a).
Our 3D radial anisotropic model (Marone et al., 2006b) shares the large scale features of previous regional studies for North America (e.g. Van der Lee and Nolet, 1997; Grand, 2001). We confirm the pronounced difference in the isotropic velocity structure (Figure 28.3a) between the western active tectonic region and the central/eastern stable shield, as well as the presence of subducted material (Juan de Fuca and Farallon plate) at transition zone depths. Concerning the radial anisotropic signature (Figure 28.3b), we observe a positive anomaly in correspondence of the cratonic areas down to 300 km depth, while a negative anomaly beneath the Appalachians mapped at 250 km depth, where a low velocity feature is also present, supports the hypothesis of mantle upwelling induced by water released during subduction of the Iapetus ocean or related to the subducted Farallon plate (Van der Lee et al., 2005).
Our 3D azimuthal anisotropic model (Figure 28.3c) indicates the presence of two layers of anisotropy with distinct fast axis directions under the stable part of the North American continent: a deeper layer with the fast axis direction aligned with the absolute plate motion direction suggesting lattice preferred orientation of anisotropic minerals in a present day asthenospheric flow and a shallower lithospheric layer likely showing records of past tectonic events. Under the tectonically active western US, where the lithosphere is thin, the direction of tomographically inferred anisotropy is stable with depth and compatible with both absolute plate motion direction and the dominant direction obtained from SKS splitting measurements. The combined radial and azimuthal anisotropic 3D structure retrieved in our model, resolved throughout the upper mantle, represents the advancement of this study with respect to previous works. These new results seem to suggest a possible reconciliation between anisotropic models derived from surface and body wave data.

Hi folks, Just a quick note to those who were planning to attend the big conference in Orlando in December. IDEAlliance is a business and has to have a business case to run each of the tutorials being staged at the conference. There are as yet not enough pre-registrations for the hands-on XSLFO course being held Monday December 10 at XML'2001, so the course is at risk: http://www.xmlconference.org/xmlusa/2001/montutorialsfull.htm#5 (The North American perspective on XSLFO must be different than in Europe as there were 30 people at the Berlin delivery in May and 28 people at the Amsterdam delivery in September). Note this is preceded the day before by our hands-on XSLT/XPath course, which is not at risk: http://www.xmlconference.org/xmlusa/2001/suntutorialsfull.htm#5 If you were planning to register for the course when you get there, the course may not be available due to the low pre-registrations. To see the syllabi of all of our instructor-led courses, please follow the "Instructor-led lecture and hands-on delivery calendar" link on our home page noted below. Thanks! .........................

teaching carnival: calling all community college, college, and university teachers
the idea behind teaching carnival is quite simple: there's a lot of community college, college, and university professors out there blogging about their teaching, so why not encourage various bloggers to periodically compile the posts and offer brief annotations about them?
george (who got his phd in english at the university of maryland roughly the same time that i was getting mine in american studies) came up with the concept and successfully ran the carnival last year. he is now looking for folks to sign up for fall 2006.
seems to me that the avenues for talking about and sharing ideas about higher education teaching are shrinking; projects like this offer new possibilities. if you teach at a community college, college, or university, consider getting involved by gmailing him at georgehwilliams - or just leave a commment here.

Bisley Steel Buffalo
Bisley Buffalo
We are all used to seeing deer roaming across Stickledown, but none of us had seen a Buffalo ....until now , that is !
Thanks to a conversation Phil Morgan had with Andrew Mercer, NRA Chief Executive & Sec General earlier this year, and the wholehearted support Andrew Mercer gave to this project, the Steel Buffalo became a reality on 10th August 2015.
Since Phil passed the artwork to Andrew Mercer back in May, the Buffalo project moved ahead with astonishing speed, given that it first saw light as an idea by Phil Morgan and Clive Taylor about ten years ago. Our thanks must also go out to the NRA Team that did the Technical and Range work to give us Target 51 on Stickledown and brought steel targets back to Bisley.
The Steel Buffalo is now available for hire and the Club will certainly be making regular bookings on it. Judging by comments on the NRA's FaceBook it looks like proving to be a popular and lucrative target.

EVERETT — People must keep reaching for their dreams, and they must keep working to improve their lives and the lives of others around them, the Rev. Stanley Ponder told the crowd at the Spirit of Grace United Methodist Church in Everett on Sunday.
Ponder, an associate minister with the Greater Trinity Missionary Baptist Church who serves on the USS Nimitz, was one of several speakers at a Martin Luther King Jr. celebration hosted by Spirit of Grace.
Ponder shared an allegory about a little boy in the south who wanted to catch a lightning bug. The boy became frustrated but eventually caught one of the luminescent insects in his jar, as his friends had done.
Like that lightning bug in a jar on a dark night, a dream always will carry people back home, Ponder said. They must be patient, even when others receive blessings and they themselves feel empty-handed.
"The dream can be frustrating," Ponder said. "If you just keep on reaching, you're going to catch your dream."
The crowd filled the pews at Spirit of Grace at 3530 Colby Ave., many still in their church clothes from Sunday services. Mothers held onto squirming toddlers, and families and friends embraced each other, at times standing to clap and sing along with the service. Some donned Seahawks jerseys, and plenty of football jokes were shared — many with themes of helping others and perseverance.
In the invocation, the Rev. Jude Albert reminded people that King's life was sacrificed for his dream.
People are asked "to carry out and carry on this dream, this dream of unity and of love," Albert said.
The Rev. Darryn Hewson, of Spirit of Grace, said people must not rest in their gratitude to saints and heroes. They must try to do more, and build on the work of those who came before, including King, he said.
"The reality is that we are all still trying to live in that legacy," Hewson said.
King taught that education was a path to equality, and that message still matters, said Snohomish County Executive John Lovick.
Several of the speakers stressed the importance of education as a means to overcome the barriers of poverty, unemployment and poor access to housing. They shared their own struggles in past years, and the struggles of their parents and grandparents.
"I see a lot of people who are still dealing with discrimination and racism," said Janice Greene, chairwoman of the Snohomish County chapter of the NAACP. "Let's not forget that the struggle still exists."
The keynote speaker was the Rev. Julie Hampton, of Seattle International Church. Hampton graduated from Everett High School in the 1980s. She remembers growing up when there were only a few black families in town. Her generation looked up to the first black teachers, the first black City Council members, she said.
"When God gives you a dream and a purpose, no one can stop it," Hampton said.
There has been progress made, and people need to keep moving in the right direction for more, Hampton said. They must invest in their children, and make sure that children understand the work done by the civil rights leaders of generations past.
People must continue to build on that work, she said. They must help others with their own dreams, and be careful to keep dreams safe from those who would stand in the way.
"Sometimes opposition is a form of opportunity," she said.

A very enjoyable map, a bit too linear but still I really did enjoy this play, some parts felt a little too easy , possibly because of the above-average amount of item crates around, but still. Very good visuals indeed.

Girls Night Out - HONEY TOAST TIME! :P
Las Vegas Travel Blog› entry 12 of 20 › view all entries
Ok, on the road trip down to Tucson the weekend before, Melissa (Melissa919) and I had been talking about Ichiza and how I love their honey toast which she's never had. OMG?!!? How can you be a foodie, a dessert whore, and NOT have the honey toast. So disappointed in her! Tsk tsk! LOL We decided we would go to Ichiza one night while I was still in town - Monday being the best option since Melissa was off two days for Veteran's Day.
Well, Monday rolled around after Tucson and Melanie and I were sick as dogs so we pushed it to Wednesday. Although I still felt miserable, was not missing the honey toast I'd been craving for almost a year since Lisa (Lisabrook21) and I went. It worked out that Lisa was able to make it along with one of our other friends from work, Jen, who Melanie had met at a previous dinner get together over the summer.
We got lucky and got the tatami type table where you take your shoes off and sit around the big table. That was fun except for when I started thinking about all the nasty feet that graced the floor before me! Ewwwww.
We were starving since it was 8:30pm so we started ordering a bunch of food which was all supper yummy. I need to go back and update my review now with new food pictures! We had oysters, fried quail eggs (my fav), yellowtail tartare, sashimi platters, and a bunch of other stuff I am drawing a blank on right now.
And then it was time....HONEY TOAST time! :P We ordered two since Melanie couldn't have any (obviously not sugar free) and we devoured them. Melissa goes to tear into the toast and starts to break down the wall where I promptly yell at her! "Melissa!!!!! Don't break down the wall!!" It's kinda like a fort.
Fun times with the girls although they proceeded to give me a lot of advice, while solicited, not what I really wanted to hear!!! HAHA. I love them to death and while I will probably never listen to a word they say on certain subjects, I respect their opinions! :P :P :P
Sadly it was time to go...poor Melissa had to be up early for work and it was headed towards 11pm already! Thanks to the girls for a great evening of laughter, serious talk, and HONEY TOAST! Until next time.......

Bar, Darwin, Darwin Italian Festival, Event, Festival, food stall, food stalls, glass of wine, Italian festival, italian food
They really do love their festivals up in Darwin. Think there has been an event on every weekend since we got up here. Saturday night the city was filled with italian food stalls with hundreds of people lining up. If there is a festival in Darwin, all the locals are going. With all I mean ALL. After fifteen minutes of walking around we therefore decided that the insane wait for a glass of wine wasn't for us. Instead we joined the backpackers on the main street. Didn't really enjoy that either so we ended up going home quite early for a Saturday. So please, can someone open up a decent bar in Darwin?

Statehouse: Pence says Indiana will survive sequester
Thursday, February 28, 2013 5:14 AM
INDIANAPOLIS – Gov. Mike Pence said Indiana should weather the storm caused by sequestration due to the state's strong fiscal health (Mikus, Post-Tribune). Pence added he was "reasonably satisfied" with progress in the 2013 state legislative session. The governor, just back from the National Governors Association conference in Washington, D.C., said he spoke with Indiana legislators and President Barack Obama about the effects of the sequester, which will start $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts over the next 10 years, with about $85 billion slated for this year. The cuts are designed to be spread across all aspects of federal government. Pence said the cuts are necessary to help reduce the federal government's over-spending, but he said a more intelligent approach to cutting could be found. "We are urging the administration and members of both political parties to find smarter and better spending cuts and reductions," Pence said. "The good news for Hoosiers is we are in a position to mitigate the effects of sequestration in Indiana."
The Pence administration did have a brief hiccup on a sequester-related issue when the Department of Workforce Development announced it would suspend jobless benefits on Wednesday, and then retracted the statement.
PENCE SIGNS FIRST BILL: Gov. Pence signed SEA 319, the first piece of legislation he has signed into law on Wednesday. The bill prevents an estimated $57 million property tax increase on Hoosier farmers by delaying the use of new soil productivity factors in farmland assessment until the Department of Local Government Finance (DLGF) and the Purdue University College of Agriculture complete a study on the process. The legislation, sponsored by State Senator Jean Leising (R-Oldenburg), passed unanimously in both the Indiana House and Senate. In recent years, the DLGF requested and received new soil productivity factors from the United States Department of Agriculture. The proposed new soil productivity factors used for farmland assessment in Indiana could have caused an estimated 25 percent average increase in property tax payments for Indiana's farmers, dependent on the county in which they live.
"Indiana is agriculture, and Lt. Governor Ellspermann and I appreciate the General Assembly's bipartisan effort to quickly pass this critical piece of legislation to help Hoosier farmers," said Governor Mike Pence. "It was a privilege for us to provide tax relief for family farmers in the very first bill we signed into law."
Gov. Mike Pence hasn't ruled out spending his campaign funds on television ads to garner support for a proposed income tax cut the Indiana House refused to include in a two-year state budget plan it approved Tuesday (Carden,
NWI Times
). "I'm very committed to making sure that Hoosiers know because of the fiscal strength of our state we have the opportunity to fund our priorities, including increasing funding on roads and schools, and cut taxes for every Hoosier in the city and on the farm," Pence said. The Republican governor told reporters Wednesday he's "still disappointed" the Republican-controlled House budget spends more than he wants and doesn't reduce the state income tax rate to 3.06 percent from 3.4 percent. That 10 percent rate reduction was the centerpiece of Pence's campaign for governor. "We remain committed to making our case for lowering the personal income tax in Indiana to members of the General Assembly and to people across the state of Indiana," Pence said. Pence did not respond directly when asked if he would veto a budget that does not include an income tax cut. He said instead that he's confident lawmakers will add the tax cut to the 2014-15 budget once the revised state revenue forecast, issued in April, shows Indiana can afford it.
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence is taking his pitch for a 10-percent cut in the personal income tax around the state after failing to lock down support for his signature legislative priority inside the Statehouse (
Associated Press
). Pence has spent more time on the road in his first two months in office than at the Statehouse, delivering a plea to voters and Republican activists at their annual fundraisers: Lobby your representatives and senators for your cut. Meanwhile, his aides, led by former campaign field organizer Chris Crabtree, have started an online campaign to pressure wavering lawmakers. Working with them are Indiana tea partyers, led by the Indiana branch of Americans for Prosperity, which has bought radio ads and is coordinating its own online campaign. "We are determined to continue to reach out to members of the state Legislature and to the people they serve in the four corners of this state with a message that Indiana is in a unique position where we have the ability to fund our priorities and reduce taxes for every Hoosier," Pence said shortly before taking the stage at the Hamilton County Republican Party's annual Lincoln Day dinner earlier this month.
Indiana's state Senate leader says he hopes to stir up support around the country for a new U.S. constitutional convention aimed at limiting the powers of the federal government.The state Senate voted largely along party lines this week to approve a resolution seeking a state-called constitutional convention. Thirty-three more states would have to call for such a convention, which has never happened before.Republican Senate President Pro Tem David Long says if the resolution is also approved by the Indiana House, he will work with legislative leaders in other states concerned about the federal government's growing reach. "I'm very hopeful we've started something like a brush fire out there," Long told reporters on Wednesday. "I know there is interest in this in other states. We've provided a blueprint. We should be able to get 34 states to do this." The resolution calls for a convention focused on limiting the power of Congress to tax and regulate interstate commerce. Those issues were argued in challenges to the federal health care overhaul.
It was 13 years ago today that Oakland City (Ind.) Police Officer Michael "Mike" Deno, 24, was fatally shot during a traffic stop (
Evansville Courier & Press
). On Monday, the Indiana state Senate is expected to memorialize Deno with the adoption of a concurrent resolution recommending the Indiana Department of Transporation name the southbound bridge of Interstate 69 across the Patoka River the Officer Michael E. Deno Memorial Bridge. The action will cap a two-year effort by retired Indiana State Police Sgt. Jim Nelson to have sections of area interstates named for Southern Indiana officers who have died in the line of duty. One day while driving on Interstate 74, Nelson saw "Trooper William Rayner Memorial Highway" posted on a sign along the road, he said. "That kind of got the wheels rolling about trying to get something for (fallen police officers) down here," he said. "There's three police officers (who died in the line of duty) right here in this area, and there's not been anything put up for them." His original plan was to name portions of Interstate 69 for the fallen, but Nelson never heard back from his senator during the 2012 session of the Indiana General Assembly. Nelson then sent his original letter to 85 people including several current and retired police officers, civilian employees of the Indiana State Police and friends, he said. "I was amazed of their response and overwhelming support for the idea," Nelson said.
McCain critical of Trump's call to congratulate Putin
"An American president does not lead the Free World by congratulating dictators on winning sham elections. And by doing so with Vladimir Putin, President Trump insulted every Russian citizen who was denied the right to vote in a free and fair election."
U.S. Sen. John McCain
, after
President Trump
said he called Russian
President Putin
and congratulated him on winning Sunday's election. Trump ignored warnings from his national security team not to congratulate Putin and those warnings were leaked to the press apparently by senior White House officials.
The book on Pence
There have been a number of biographies on
President Trump
, but none on
Vice President Mike Pence
. That is about to change. Pulitzer Prize-winning author
Michael D'Antonio
"The Truth About Trump"
) and former
and current AP reporter
Tom LoBianco
have both been in Indiana in recent weeks researching books on the former Hoosier governor. We can expect new information on Pence's evolution from a failed congressional candidate, think-tank president, his ascent into Capitol Hill leadership, to a governorship and now a heartbeat away. The curtains will be pulled on Pence's early relationships, finances and modus operandi.
The rush to publish comes as
President Trump
acts more erratic in the face of the Russia collusion probe of Special Counsel
Robert Mueller
. There has been widespread speculation on whether Trump will finish his term, either voluntarily or as the result of scandal. Thus, there is a growing information thirst about a potential "President Pence."
The first spate of books center on the frivolous, or the family's pet rabbit, with daughter
Charlotte Pence
and wife
"Marlon Bundo's A Day in the Life of a Vice President,
" and HBO's
John Oliver's
"A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo.
" In the latter, the subject is about gay rabbits falling in love. Is this a great country, or what?
