Crews suspend search for missing crab fisherman near Anacortes
ANACROTES -- Coast Guard officials said they suspended the search for an overdue crab fisherman on Wednesday.
Officials first began the search for 48-year-old Dean Harvey on Tuesday. Crews searched a 909 square mile area in a 24-hour period.
A helicopter from Coast Guard Air Station Port Angeles located an overturned ship matching the description of Harvey's near the southeast corner of Lopez Island around 9:00 a.m.
The Coast Guard Cutter Adelie towed the ship to shore while another crew searched the area for any signs of the Bremerton man.
“Suspending the search for a missing person is one of the most difficult decisions we must make,” said Cmdr. Brian Meier, chief of response for Coast Guard Sector Puget Sound. “Our hearts go out to the family and friends of Mr. Harvey during this difficult time, especially on the eve of Thanksgiving.”
Officials said the search is on hold indefinitely unless there are any further developments.

What a difference a week makes.
Literally seven days ago, Hendrick Motorsports was still reeling from the biggest single day penalty to any organization in NASCAR Cup Series history and it was Tyler Reddick of 23XI Racing who fended off William Byron to provide a glimmer of hope for the rest of the garage.
Due to the 100 championship and 10 playoff point penalty and the injury to Chase Elliott, all four Hendrick Motorsports drivers faced long odds to reach the Championship Race in November. And maybe, just maybe, the confiscated louvers would be something akin to a kryptonite on their otherwise spec Next Gen Camaros.
So much for that.
Despite finding Hendrick Motorsports guilty of all charges levied upon them by NASCAR, the national motorsports appeals panel lessened its consequences, dropping the points element of the penalty. And just like that, all three current full-time Hendrick driver were right back inside the top-10 of the standings.
As if that wasn’t enough of a reminder of the current status quo, Kyle Larson and William Byron effectively dominated the Toyota Owners 400 on Sunday at Richmond Raceway with Larson and Josh Berry finishing 1-2 in part due to Byron getting crashed out of the top-5 on the penultimate restart.
This remains a Hendrick Cars Dot Com kind of world until otherwise stated, and that statement might lie in how the rest of the garage responds to precedence established by the national appeals panel.
Because, think about it, if you’re the other manufacturers and organizations in that garage, and the newly established punishment for pushing the boundaries is just fines and suspensions — that’s very much worth the risk.
At the same time, the risk is that neither Hendrick nor NASCAR is entirely being transparent about what the breakdown in communication was that led to those specific louvers being on the hoods at Phoenix.
Enter Hendrick Motorsports vice chairman Jeff Gordon after Sunday’s race.
“I said this in Atlanta, it should have never even come to that,” Gordon said. “I don’t want to give too much information because I want to respect the process, but it’s also a little frustrating that nothing gets shared from what determines whether there’s points given back or whether there’s money not given back and crew chief suspensions.
“I just feel like there was enough there that it’s not clear-cut. It’s not just a black-and-white situation because there was enough communication to justify why we showed up to the racetrack in Phoenix the way we did.”
Certainly, other teams at least smell an opening to make NASCAR’s still new spec car era a little less spec after this, at least until the mandated vendors begin consistently delivering parts that fit properly.
But until then, victories in the NASCAR Cup Series (not to mention the championship itself) will continue to run through Chevrolet and its flagship four-car organization in Hendrick Motorsports.
From a year over year standpoint, the racing product at Richmond was much improved thanks to the lower downforce package ordered for short tracks and road courses.
The track continues to be an abrasive high fall-off circuit, but the reduced downforce destabilized the cars enough to open up additional lanes for passing with increased action throughout the field as a result.
Granted he won the race but Larson endorsed it.
“I thought things felt more normal to the previous model car,” Larson said. “I felt like — last year here at Richmond you could follow somebody down to the bottom, and you would just get so tight. Even if they missed the bottom a little bit in front of you, you would get tight.
“But today seemed like normal. Like you could wrap the paint. If somebody missed the bottom in front of you, you could throttle up and get to their back bumper.
“So, I just didn’t feel as affected behind people in traffic. I was pleased with that. It seemed like there was more passing. It seemed like there was a little more coming and going compared to last year’s races.”
Downshifting wasn’t quite as prevalent this year either, but is still an option for drivers for when they miss the corner as grabbing a gear will stabilize the car and allow for driving off the center but it’s certainly directionally positive as they say.
The big test will be Martinsville in two weeks, a track that was significantly hampered by the higher downforce and shifting under the Next Gen platform.

Biden faces US voters at town hall as campaign heats up
Stay tuned with 24 News HD Android App
White House hopeful Joe Biden on Thursday holds his first extended face-to-face with real voters since winning the Democratic nomination, a town hall where he will likely savage President Donald Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
With less than seven weeks before Election Day, Biden has ramped up his public appearances after spending large chunks of time at his Delaware home, even as Trump barnstormed swing states key to victory on November 3.
Now both candidates are hitting the campaign trail in earnest -- although in very different ways. Trump returns to Wisconsin Thursday for a public rally fueled by his signature bravado -- a contrast to Biden's quieter ways of connecting with blue collar and everyday voters.
The 77-year-old former vice president will take questions from a live, socially distanced audience at a town hall on what could be described as his home turf -- Scranton, the scrappy Pennsylvania city where Biden was born.
The face-to-face Q&A is a framework Biden has largely avoided during the pandemic, which has so far killed nearly 200,000 Americans. His go-to events have been speeches in Delaware, with only reporters and staff present.
He has traveled to swing states like Wisconsin, Florida and Pennsylvania, but has dodged crowds and engages with voters only in small, controlled settings. Trump has badgered his rival for remaining cloistered in his "basement" and declining to engage in more traditional campaign events.
Local officials briefed on the town hall plans told US media that it will take place in a stadium parking lot, and that pre-approved attendees will drive in and park near the stage. CNN said it will adhere to Pennsylvania pandemic guidelines, which limit gatherings to less than 250 people.
The dueling events come one day after each candidate homed in on the pandemic as a campaign issue -- and offered dramatically different views of how the Trump administration has responded.
Biden delivered a scathing speech in which he said "I don't trust Donald Trump" to provide a vaccine free from any political interference. The Republican incumbent meanwhile insisted a vaccine could be ready this year, directly contradicting the timeline offered by a top government health official.
Trump said Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Robert Redfield, one of the most prominent experts overseeing US pandemic response, "made a mistake" and "was confused" when he testified to lawmakers Wednesday that a safe and effective vaccine would not be widely available until mid-2021.
Trump also criticized Redfield for renewing his call for Americans to wear face masks as their best defense against spreading Covid-19. Biden routinely appears at functions wearing a mask. Trump almost never does, and he mocks Biden for doing so.
Biden's town hall comes two days after Trump appeared in a similar setting, also in Pennsylvania -- in Philadelphia.
Critics panned the president's performance, including his insistence that he had not downplayed the coronavirus threat, even though he acknowledged doing just that in a taped interview with journalist Bob Woodward. "I didn't downplay it," he told the town hall. "In many ways, I up-played it in terms of action."
The animosity has ramped up between Trump and Biden ahead of their first debate, scheduled for September 29 in Ohio. Biden has consistently led Trump in national polls.
He is also ahead in several key battlegrounds like Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin -- all states won by Trump in his shock 2016 election victory -- although by dwindling margins.

Last year, Microsoft demoed a number of ARM-based system running Windows 10 on a Snapdragon 820 processor. The company promised this new breed of machine would be vastly different from the Windows RT debacle that killed its plans for a separate ARM-derived computer market. This week, the company shared additional details on the upcoming products and their hardware plans. These new ARM systems will run on Snapdragon 835, they'll emulate x86 instructions to ensure cross-compatibility, and, according to Microsoft, they'll offer amazing battery life.
Trusted Reviews spoke(Opens in a new window) to Microsoft exec Pete Bernard, who told the site that Microsoft's ARM battery life is "really, really good."
“We set a high bar for [our developers], and we’re now beyond that," Bernard said. "It’s the kind of battery life where I use it on a daily basis. I don’t take my charger with me. I may charge it every couple of days or so. It’s that kind of battery life.”
Bernard added: “I would consider it a game-changer in terms of the way people have experienced PCs in the past.”
Could the battery life be excellent on ARM-based laptops? Absolutely. But there are a few things to keep in mind when considering this question--and good reason to wait for reviews.
First, emulating x86 is going to impose additional power overhead compared with native ARM code. That's a non-negotiable cost of doing business. Similarly, an ARM CPU almost certainly won't be intrinsically faster than an equivalent x86 CPU. Again, this is common sense. While it's true that a modern system can outperform an emulated one, provided the emulator is well-optimized and the newer system is faster than the old one, it's a harder lift than it used to be.
In the old days, emulating a five year-old CPU meant you were multiple process nodes ahead of it and running at 2x or more of the original CPU's clock speed. Performance may also vary from one application to another. Good emulators obviously seek to offer consistently robust performance, but that doesn't mean they always hit the target. It could take a few updates to nail down the corner cases, especially in a market as sprawling as x86. Previous ISA comparisons have found the efficiency of one chip versus another is based much more in design decisions made by the manufacturer than in the intrinsic ISA.
Second, we don't know what kind of clocks these systems will consistently hold. The clock speeds Qualcomm reports are typically based on the chip's Turbo clock, not its base clock. The Cortex-A73 is supposed to be far better at maintaining its top clock under load, and a tablet or laptop form factor should offer much better thermals overall, but the A73 also uses two-wide decoder as opposed to the three-wide decoder found in the Cortex-A72. This will impact its overall efficiency in at least some workloads, and we don't know what the bottlenecks will look like in conventional desktop software.
Apple's ARM-based CPU cores have made big strides towards matching Intel. But Apple has pursued an entirely different design strategy, with a focus on providing just two high-performance cores, while companies like Samsung and Qualcomm pursue designs with a larger number of relatively weaker cores.
This won't strictly be a comparison based on CPU clocks, either. Cache efficiency will be critical to any emulation effort, as will memory bandwidth efficiency. Historically, this was one area where the old Atom chips used to pound ARM pretty badly--the old Clover Trail or Medfield-derived Atom chips (based on the original Bonnell architecture from 2008) often outperformed their ARM counterparts of the day in tests that were cache or memory-bandwidth sensitive. It'll be interesting to see how these metrics shake out today, after both companies have been through multiple iterations of products.
Third, other component choices will absolutely impact how ARM and x86 compare with each other in the final analysis. While CPUs were once the primary driver of mobile power consumption, repeated idle power optimization and lower base clock speeds have made that much less common. Displays, particularly high-DPI displays at high brightness, can eat more power than CPUs do. If these Snapdragon 835 devices focus on lower power envelopes at lower resolutions, they could win on that basis alone. Obviously that's still a potential victory for the end user, but it's also an example of how different component choices can shift outcomes for reasons that have nothing to do with the ARM vs x86 matchup.
The best case for ARM-based laptops would be a recreation of the huge battery life gains and low prices that made Atom netbooks so popular nearly a decade ago. These systems weren't fast--even the best of them offered a fraction of mainstream PC performance--but 5-7 hours of battery life was leagues better than what laptops of the day offered, and they exploded in popularity on that basis. And to be clear, I'm open to the idea that Microsoft and Qualcomm pulled off a miracle and built a laptop with higher performance and better battery life than what you can get from an Intel (or possibly AMD in the future) laptop at a given price point or TDP. But these are the potential weak points in such an announcement, and the complexities that could determine which way performance breaks.

I’m going to admit to not watching American Idol, since, I don’t know, for FOREVER. I am over music reality shows. In totality. No more.
However, Candice Glover can sing, and that’s clear!
Her first single “Cried” is no smash hit in my opinion, but she still delivers a great vocal performance. There’s something that never quite connects that makes me invest emotionally in this song, but the video helps in that regards. If I heard this on the radio, it almost seems a bit like a country song.
The video is a sad reality that happens often however. The little girl is too cute, and Candice sheds a few tears as well. I wonder if domestic violence is something she has experienced for herself?
What do you think of Candice’s first crack at the charts?

This thesis explores cut and fill operations to create an occupiable archive of LeBreton Flats’ intertwined industrial and environmental histories. Employing visualization techniques which draw historical elements into dialogue, the thesis develops a method for understanding the cut and fill operations and flow formations which have shaped the region since the turn of the 19th century. The thesis envisions a reflective landscape for LeBreton Flats, which currently sits as a vacant brownfield west of the parliamentary precinct in Ottawa, Canada’s capital city. This project uses time-based studies and sectional and layered drawings to question the perception of impermeable boundaries between land and water. Translation of the dynamic qualities of the site to a tangible scale is achieved through a series of constructions embedded within a reimagined landscape. These constructions provide frameworks through which temporal processes of environmental fluctuation and human control are rendered visible and accessible.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 22. /ITAR-TASS/. The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, a leading international economic and business forum held annually in Russia, opens on Thursday with 6,500 people from 72 countries taking part.
A total of 2,500 business people will take part in the forum, and 140 heads of foreign companies, mostly from European countries, as well as 469 heads of Russian companies are expected to attend.
The forum will run three days, and will focus on the strengthening of trust in the epoch of transformations. President Vladimir Putin will take part in a plenary session on May 23.
Thirty-four leaders of major foreign companies, mainly American, have refused to attend the forum under the pressure of their government amid the developments in Ukraine. Many of them were regular participants in previous forums. The companies themselves are not boycotting the forum, and will be represented by top managers of second level or regional directors.
Deputy Minister of Economic Development Sergei Belyakov told Tass earlier that the organizers of the forum had sent a letter to the company leaders refusing to attend the forum saying this would not influence the activity of their companies in Russia.
Officials and entrepreneurs polled by Itar-Tass said the absence of the leadership of some major transnational corporations at the forum would not tell on the level and results of discussions and negotiations. They believe the fact that the forum takes place at a difficult from the political point of view time only makes it more important. The tasks facing its participants are to look for answers to global challenges, to increase western investors’ trust in projects in Russia.
Managers and business people plan to discuss at the St. Petersburg Economic Forum most topical issues, including ways to prevent recession and restore economic growth and an inflow of capital, as well as to give a boost to Russian business in the eastern direction.
Eighty-two sessions in different formats are scheduled for the forum. Traditionally, Russian companies time the signing of their investment agreements to the forum. Last year, contracts worth a record 9.6 trillion roubles were signed, with 8.8 trillion roubles accounting for an agreement between Russia’s Rosneft and China for the supply of oil within 25 years. This year, at least 25 agreements are expected to be signed.

Requirements vary by county, so contact your county's Court Clerk's office to confirm all requirements and fees. I became ordained in 2001 expressly for the purpose of serving as a wedding officiant for friends seeking alternatives to traditional church weddings. Before you can begin planning the actual ceremony, you and your fiancé e should decide on a location for your Oklahoma wedding. In 2015, 40 percent of couples in the Sooner State opted to tie the knot in the months of June to August. There are actually multiple wait times for different situations. In order to annul such a remarriage, an annulment action must be brought within the six-month period.
A room and champagne for the bridal couple is complimentary. Check out for other personalized favors. However, some loopholes do exist. Oklahoma's extensive travel system—935 miles of interstate highways—makes the drive a breeze. If you have a lot of guests coming from outside the area, there are plenty of touristy sites to see in Oklahoma City. There is no chance for Oklahoma gay couples to adopt a child who needs a loving family because of the anti-gay parenting act.
For more specific information regarding the procedure to obtain an annulment and what to expect at a hearing, please contact a local Oklahoma family law attorney for assistance. Only persons ordained or authorized to perform weddings by the church in which they belong who are registered with the state are able to perform and sign off on marriage licenses. For marriage license purposes, the court clerk is not able to identify an applicant in any manner other than that described in the identification which the applicant has presented to the court clerk. I took into account the event staff, on-site coordinators, parking, guest comfort and other options as well. Having a basic idea of what type of ceremony you want can help narrow down potential venues. Oklahoma statutes still provide Oklahoma does not allow same sex marriages and that a marriage between persons of the same sex performed in another state will not be recognized as valid and binding in Oklahoma. What are the Legal Requirements for Marriage in Oklahoma? A marriage that takes place before the expiration of six months from the date either spouse was divorced is a voidable marriage.
If the person is under 18 years of age, he or she can only get married with written consent from his or her parent or guardian. She may also help decrease stress on your wedding day. The Court Clerk will hand the death certificate back to you once it's been looked over. If you canceled the order during the processing period and documents have been submitted to the Vital Records Office, it is considered that Vital Records Now reserves the right to deny a refund. Renaissance Waterford Oklahoma City Hotel is another favorite hotel for weddings! Minors that are 16 or 17 years old must have parental consent to be issued a marriage license.

Landscape vegetation modelling is a simulation modelling approach to the analysis of landscape dynamics. The model developed here is a spatially-explicit ecologically-mechanistic simulator based on previous work in vital attributes theory and fuzzy systems theory. The model employs multiple individual forest stands with spatially-linked processes of seed distribution and disturbance propagation. Two synthetic landscapes were constructed consisting of four distinct environments with 400 polygons arranged in a hex grid mapped onto a torus. The two landscapes differ in inherent environmental heterogeneity, with one landscape consisting of smooth gradation in the four environments (gradient landscape) and the other with randomized environments (random landscape). The two landscapes are subjected to five different fire regimes. The effects of fire regime, environmental heterogeneity, and the interaction of environmental heterogeneity and fire regime are presented with regard to landscape characteristics of fragmentation, patch diversity, and gamma diversity. Environmental heterogeneity and fire regime form a complex relationship of non-monotonic response and interaction effects. Landscape fragmentation and diversity are found to have a modal or sinusoidal relationship to fire return interval, and the positions of the minima and maxima differ between the random and gradient landscapes. Landscape gamma diversity shows relatively less effect of fire return interval, although longer fire return intervals generally produce higher gamma diversity through the development of higher alpha diversity in mesic fire-sensitive stands. An interaction exists between landscape heterogeneity and fire return interval where some fire return intervals accentuate and some attenuate the differences between the gradient and random landscapes. Interaction effects of environmental heterogeneity and fire return interval on gamma diversity are small.

Education leaders unite against student visa cuts plan
Leading figures in higher education have attacked government plans to limit UK visas for international students.
The vice-chancellors' body Universities UK described them as "damaging and dangerous", while one university head said they could be "catastrophic".
The government is currently consulting on plans to cut visas for students studying below degree level and to raise English language requirements.
It says the system is abused and net migration needs to be reduced.
The proposals relate to prospective students from outside the EU applying for visas under what is known as Tier 4 of the points-based system.
These accounted for about two-thirds of the 273,000 visas issued to students to come to the UK in 2009.
The government wants to reduce the number of visas granted to such applicants wanting to study at courses below degree level, and to require a higher standard of English for those who do come.
It has pledged to reduce net migration from its current 215,000 to less than 100,000 by 2015.
But universities argue that many international degree students are recruited from non-degree courses, on which they have improved their English and increased their subject knowledge.
And Universities UK says that international students provide about 9% of the sector's income.
Edward Action, Vice Chancellor of East Anglia University, said that if the language requirement was raised, "the catastrophic effects on universities will, for a period, actually make the home [tuition] fees matter slightly fade from the centre, so grave will it be".
Nicola Dandridge, chief executive of Universities UK, said of the proposals: "They're damaging, they're dangerous and we are very opposed and very concerned about them."
Tony Milns, chief executive of the English language teaching association English UK, estimated that the planned raising of the required language level would rule out 70-80% of students who currently study foundation courses.
He said universities recruit nearly half of their international students from such courses.
"International student fees subsidise home student places, they keep courses and sometimes whole departments open. In some universities, where more than 60% of students are not home students, they are vital to the survival of institutions," he said.
The proposed changes come as tuition fees for students in England are set to rise in 2012 from just over £3,000 to up to £9,000, alongside cuts to teaching budgets.
This year, before the increased fees are brought in, universities in England face a 6% cut to teaching budgets, as well as cuts of 54% to capital funding related to teaching.
The president of the National Union of Students, Aaron Porter, said home students would lose out in terms of the cultural and academic environment if the number of international students were to drop.
He raised concerns about the effect on some institutions, such as the London School of Economics, in which 70% of students come from an international background.
"It would be an absolute travesty at a time when universities and students are facing unprecedented challenges for an additional, unnecessary and indeed economically counter-productive challenge to be thrown into the mix," he said.
Immigration Minister Damian Green said the government believed that attracting talented students from abroad was vital to the UK, "but we must be more selective about who can come here and how long they can stay".
The Home Office estimates that 14% of language school students on Tier 4 visas, and 26% studying in private institutions are breaking immigration rules.
It says it is concerned that some non-degree courses are used as a pretext to enable the student to enter the UK in the hope of living and working there.
A Home Office analysis found that 20% of people who were granted student visas in 2004 were still in the UK in 2009.
It also said 13% of people were granted permission to settle in the UK in 2009 had entered the UK on a study visa.
"Too many individuals applying to study at below degree level have been coming here to live and work instead. We need to stop this abuse," Mr Green said.
He said the government was listening to the views of the education sector in its consultation, which ends on 31 January.
"The proposals follow a major review of the system, and are aimed at a more selective system and, crucially, reducing the numbers to meet the Government's target of reducing net migration to sustainable levels," a Home Office spokesperson told the BBC last week.
The government also wants to introduce measures to ensure students return home following their studies.

Milton Bradley's Losing Friends
A few stories have popped up since I wrote the last one, so let me update.
"I told him to take his uniform off," Lou said. "He threw his helmet
and smashed a water cooler, water flying all over. I just told him to
take his uniform off and go home. I followed him up into the clubhouse,
and we exchanged some words."
Lou added that he had seen enough and that he'd talk more with Milton tomorrow.
Apparently, the Cubs feel that Bradley is acting selfishly. GM Jim
Hendry talked with us in the runway after the game and said he wanted
players to be "all in."
I pressed him on that, and he said that "all in" means all for the
team. Some of Bradley's teammates also are beginning to wonder.
Alright, so we know for sure Lou sent him home. The "acting selfishly" perked up my ears though and that teammates are beginning to wonder. That led me to this gem from Alfonso Soriano courtesy of Muskat.
Alfonso Soriano said he'd never seen a player and manager fight the way Piniella and Bradley did.
"I hope he comes back and he can help the team to win," Soriano said
of Bradley. "If he's not that way, we don't need him. We have 25
players, we have to be on the same page. If he's not 100 percent to
help the team to win, we don't need him. If he's 100 percent and he
comes and wants to play, he's more than welcome."
Hey pot, meet the kettle. Let's start with Soriano refusing to move to left field a few years back for the Nationals before finally relenting... a real team player moment. Next there's Soriano's loose insistence on batting leadoff. Oh sure, he's stated in public he doesn't care where he bats as long as he stays in the same place but there's certainly some resistance on Soriano's part to get moved. If he was 100% on helping the team win, he'd stop trying to hit a home run every at-bat and would have asked long ago to get dropped to the bottom of the order to stop taking precious at-bats while he swings at everything that's pitched to him. There's also the part where he's worked on his defense so much that he's making Adam Dunn look like a good idea.
Moving back to Bradley, Lou's press conference highlights via Cubs.com can be seen here. Piniella indicates it's been a "common occurrence", although it's not clear whether he's suggesting it's common with just Bradley or the entire team, but it seems more like it's directed right at Bradley and he's been throwing these fits for awhile (most likely down in the clubhouse away from the cameras).
SF loses their 7th in a row (ow).
WAS is now #1 on the heels of the cubs at 7.5 games back.
Even when logically I know I should root for the Cardinals, I cannot. I think it's worse than the Packers thing. I think it's literally the worst thing.
Kinda weird stat -- the NL has 5 teams that are at least 20 games under -- it was 6 before the Brewers swept the Pirates -- and there are none in the AL. Oakland has the worst record in the AL at 18 under. Hunh.
Jon Lester scored his first career run today. And his 2nd. Now I see why hit bats 8th.
Every Cub starter has scored at least one run so far today, Russell leading the way with 3
Anybody with an over/under on the Cubs getting to 30 runs today?
JD pointing to Javy's minimal leg kick on that blast.
Send bullpen home go get your complete game Lester
Javy with 3 hits, including a home run, and a walk.
Cubs with lowest batting average in MLB but highest walk total in NL, as Rizzo clubs a grand slam
He drew a bases loaded walk early in the game
i hope Baez draws a walk today!
I hope Baez will draw a walk today.
Have a day!!
/another diaper dandy
one of the slowest men in the game is taking a 20+ft lead off 2nd.
i think the "he's working on throwing over" knockdown scare has worn off in the 4th inning.
it keeps working, though. this is at least the 3rd time someone from the club has announced "he's working on throwing over" and the opposing team being cautious the next game. they should do this before every start.
Lester does not get the Michael Jordan treatement from umpires. He really has to fight for his strikes sometimes.

German geologist Dr. Sebastian Lüning and chemist Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt react to Anthony Watts’s press release concerning the quality of US temperature data at their blog.
Unlike myelf (I expected an unsurvivable nuclear bomb to be dropped), Sebastian Lüning and Fritz Vahrenholt find the implications of the new findings to be potentially devatsting. They write (excerpt):
Anthony Watts did not disappoint. Indeed it is about the release of an important new publication that involves the warming trend of the last 30 years. We had already introduced that problem here at this blog a few days ago (see our blog article “The wonderful world of temperature data corrections: And suddenly the trend reversed…“). It gets down to how justified are ‘corrections’ to the official data? We had reported that the data changes oddly always produced a signficant acceleration in warming with respect to the raw data, even though factors like the urban heat island effect intuitively suggest the oppsite correction is needed.
Authors in addition to Anthony Watts included Stephen McIntyre and John Christy. McIntyre is known because of his impressive error analyses of the famous hockey stick digram. Christy is a renowned expert for satellite temperature data at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. The manuscript will soon be submitted for publication by a journal. […}
[…] The result of the new study is shocking: Instead of correcting downwards temperatures that were heated by the urban heat island effect, the official US administration offices apparently corrected data from qualitively reliable stations upwards, which appears to be unjustifiable. If the result is confirmed, then it would be a shocking development. The warming in the USA over the last years would be far less rapid than what has always been assumed. And because similar errors are supected elsewhere, the issue could quickly gain global relevance.”
I asked Dr. Lüning to comment more on why this could have global implications. He kindly replied by e-mail:
Bit by bit others who might jump onto the train will now use the same methodology worldwide and will probably find that it really affects the global curve.”
Lüning and Vahrenholt also provide the press release in German at their site.
Take it from them; they’re experts. This could very well have global consequences. One thing is sure: It’s a an utter embarassment for the NOAA, and the perceived reliability of US and international data will be in question for years to come. Faith in the surface station data is crumbling.

Doctors at a Berlin hospital captured live MRI images of a birth.
Doctors at a Berlin hospital have made a medical breakthrough after capturing live MRI images of the miracle of birth. The pictures, taken after a German mother agreed to give birth inside a magnetic-resonance imaging machine, could provide valuable new insights into the birthing process and save lives in the future.
Gynecologist Ernst Beinder at Berlin’s Charité Hospital said the birth proceeded normally and the machine filmed all the movements and processes that went on inside the womb.They were even able to use the machine to monitor the baby’s heart beat.
‘We can now see all the details we previously could only study with probes,’ he said.
‘These images are fascinating and proved yet again that every birth is a small miracle,’ said Beinder.
The hospital said several expectant mothers had volunteered to participate in the experiment and five more births would be imaged with an MRI machine.
While most MRI machines are tube-shaped, the Charité team developed a special ‘open’ scanner which provided the necessary room for midwives and the mother during the birth
The creation of the live MRI images of a birth could prove vital in understanding complications during the birthing process and the need for around 15 per cent of women to have a Caesarian section due to the baby not moving sufficiently into the birth canal.
The research team at Charité Hospital planned the experiment for two years before this week’s successful culmination.
The team included Dr Christan Bamberg, radiologist Dr Ulf Teichgraber and project manager Felix Guttler.
Using powerful magnets, MRI creates a strong field to make some atoms in the body detectable to radio waves.
The data can be used to create a cross-section of the patient, which provides detailed depiction of soft tissue and bone structure.
MRI scans are considered safer than X-rays but are disliked by patients to the loud buzzing noise made by the scanner as it processes images.
To protect the participants during this week’s historic birth, the mother wore earmuffs to block out the noise while the machine was switched off when the amniotic sack surrounding the baby opened, to prevent the newborn’s hearing being affected.
Both mother and baby are said to be healthy and doing well.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Evan Barnes spent some time in an alternative universe the other night.
No doubt, he’d like to return.
It was an evening of mythic proportions for the Glenbrook North senior.
It was magical.
Hitting eight straight three-pointers and finishing with a career-high 30 points puts a basketball player on a different plane.
For Barnes, a pure shooter who aptly wears jersey No. 3, the performance was unparalleled.
“I’ve never scored more than 23 [points] in the game,” said Barnes, following his team’s 71-51 victory over visiting Grayslake North on Dec. 19.
The 6-foot-2, 170-pound guard saw the rim — officially 18 inches in diameter — different from any other player on the court that night.
“It [the basket] looked ginormous to me tonight,” said Barnes, who connected on 8 of 9 threes — after making only 13 threes in his first eight games of the season.
“He was amazing,” said GBN’s Max Knebelkamp, who assisted on five his three-pointers. “You could tell when the ball came off his hands that it was going in.”
“Even on his miss [with 1:02 left in the third quarter], the ball looked perfect coming out of his hands,” noted GBN coach David Weber.
Vasili Angelos couldn’t get the ball to Barnes fast enough. The reserve guard started dropping dimes like they were going out of style, assisting him three times in the first two minutes of the second quarter.
Barnes’ surefire shots turned into sure things.
“He [Angelos] started celebrating them before they even went in,” said Barnes, with a slight smile.
Having a feel for your shot is just about the best feeling.
“I’m a very streaky shooter,” admitted Barnes. “And right now, I’m on a hot streak. Hope I can stay there.”
The season didn’t start out this way for Barnes, who is averaging 9.0 points per game. He didn’t score more than five points in any of the four games in the season-opening Thanksgiving Tournament.
It would appear that his game changed course, when he pumped in 21 points — 4-for-8 from beyond the arc — in a 54-43 win over Glenbrook South on Dec. 2. Barnes has now finished in double figures in four consecutive games.
According to Weber, Grayslake North might’ve been caught off guard.
“I think he surprised them,” said Weber. “When they scouted us earlier in the season, they didn’t see any of that [from Barnes].”
But Knebelkamp wasn’t shocked by Barnes’ 30-point outburst.
“We grew up playing sports together. We’ve been friends for a long time,” said Knebelkamp. “So I wasn’t surprised by what he did tonight.
“We see it in practice every single night,” the teammate added.
Weber loves Barnes’ quick release and newfound confidence.
His athleticism is unquestioned. Besides being an avid golfer, Barnes is a potential ace hurler for GBN’s baseball team this spring. Last year, the right-hander logged 42.2 innings and ended up with a 3.77 earned run average.
“He’s got real good eye-hand coordination,” said Weber.
Barnes’ all-around game certainly surfaced in the third quarter, when he made like a defensive back and intercepted three passes. For the game, he had four steals to go along with six rebounds.
One of his best plays of the night came midway through the third frame, when he swiped a pass at half-court line and raced in for an uncontested layup.
Then, in the final minute of the third period, Barnes came out of nowhere to score on a weak-side rebound.
“I really liked his hustle plays tonight,” said Weber.
And seeing a player drop 30 in a game was a treat for the veteran GBN coach.
“It’s been a while. We saw a lot of 30s back in the day,” said Weber, referring to past GBN greats Jon Scheyer and Chris Collins.
Weber found a perfect time to take Barnes out of the game.
With 5:15 left in the fourth quarter, Barnes went to the foul line to score point No. 29 and point No. 30.
Moments later, the buzzer sounded and Spencer Malkin entered the game to replace Barnes.
Notable: With the win over Grayslake North, Glenbrook North improved its overall record to 8-1. In addition to Evan Barnes, the Spartans were led statistically by Kellen Witherell (10 points, 2 rebounds), Brian Johnson (8 points, 5 rebounds), Frank Siegien (6 points, 6 rebounds) and Max Knebelkamp (8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks). … GBN made 14 three-pointers in the game. The Spartans had 17 offensive rebounds. … Grayslake North’s record slipped to 3-7.

The Mets lost their third straight game after starter Jon Niese got rocked for six runs over three plus innings. The ultimate embarrassment was giving up a grand slam to the opposing pitcher Jason Marquis. It was the second opposing pitcher to hit a grand slam off the Mets this season.
The shaky bullpen went on to give up three more runs over the final six innings.
The Mets had 11 hits on the night but it was all for naught again as the Mets continue another late season slide.
Carlos Beltran was shaken up when he hit the wall hard making a catch. He did stay in the game despite the nay-sayers that have called him “soft” for the past four seasons.

What are SuDS?
Sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) are features installed to reduce the risk from surface water flooding. SuDS capture runoff from surfaces like roofs, roads and pavements to prevent the drainage network from becoming overwhelmed. Rainwater is diverted into features such as rain gardens, planters or storage under permeable paving. These features reduce the quantity and slow the flow of runoff to the drains as well as filter out contaminants before the water enters the drain and flows into the river.
Why are SuDS needed?
In a natural landscape, rainwater is able to be useful. It can soak into the ground so plants can use it. It pools in ponds and wetlands, creating wildlife habitats. Some of it soaks deep into the earth where it is stored as groundwater. A small amount of rainwater becomes surface water runoff, flowing into rivers and out to sea. However, as more and more of the natural landscape is built over, this natural flow of water is disrupted.
In built up areas, rainwater is prevented from soaking into the ground. Most rainwater becomes runoff. The rainwater that lands on roofs, roads, pavements and car parks rushes to the drains which empty out into the river. Not only could the river burst its banks but drains could overflow. The drainage network was not built to cope with all this runoff. SuDS aim to restore the natural water cycle, allowing rainwater to soak in.
Why install SuDS in schools?
SuDS in schools can:
- Reduce flood risk
- Ensure water entering the river is cleaner
- Save water from going straight down the drain
- Improve playgrounds spaces with new and interesting features
- Increase opportunities for cross-curricular outdoor education
- Improve the area for wildlife
- Educate pupils and the wider community about surface water flooding
Considering SuDS for your school? Useful guidance can be found here.

Priorities USA Launches Four Million Dollar Voter Mobilization Digital Campaign Ahead of Local Elections in Three States
Priorities USA is launching a digital advertising campaign in Michigan, Florida, and Pennsylvania to remind Americans to check their voter registration and mobilize them to participate in local elections going on in 2019. The ads will work to increase voter turnout in these states and place a spotlight on the importance of local elections, while simultaneously encouraging people to develop the habit of voting.
The first round of ads are now running in Florida and Michigan and will be visible across a broad range of platforms where voters are consuming content online, including YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. Voters interested in learning more about the campaign will be directed to iwillvote.com, where they will be able to check their voter registration, register, and commit to vote.
“Priorities USA has been working hard to ensure that the eventual Democratic presidential nominee is in the best possible position to beat Trump next year, but many states have important elections this year. Not only are these races important in their own right, but studies have shown that the act of voting in one election increases the chances of voting in the next,” said Patrick McHugh, Executive Director of Priorities USA. “We are proud to help encourage people to exercise their fundamental right to vote in this year’s local elections, so that our democracy grows stronger and works for them, rather than the wealthy special interests who have flourished under Trump.”
This $4 million mobilization program in 2019 is another example of Priorities USA’s commitment to helping elect Democrats up and down the ballot in every election. It will also help identify best practices of mobilization tactics that will inform and improve mobilization practices for the 2020 election.

This week in Congress saw the showdown over the 2008 Budget come to a head and the reemergence of a partisan feud over Iraq War funding.
President Bush followed through on his threat to veto the Labor-HHS-Education spending bill last week, and though the margin was short, the House was unable to approve an override. Bush has promised vetoes for some of the other spending bills, so the future of the budget process remains uncertain.
With passage of the Defense spending bill out of the way, Democrats renewed efforts to force a timeline for troop withdrawal in Iraq. The House approved the Orderly and Responsible Iraq Redeployment Appropriations Act on Monday, with the Senate taking up the measure on Thursday. If it seemed like déjà vu, you weren’t alone: Senate Republicans successfully blocked a cloture vote, and the bill died, like every similar bill before it.
Senate Majority Reader Harry Reid will keep the Senate in a pro forma session next week (in order to keep President Bush from making any recess appointments), though there probably won't be anything happening in either chamber. Regardless, come by Monday to check out preview!

google compression vrs hp chart, plug in current comp/hp vrs 13.5 comp.hp. will answer ur questions about pistons especially for $$$ spent. ur seeking 15-25 hp basically, will not achieve that without a head with int/ex porting, mill, precise valve job that increases valve flow area and total valve seal at high rpm, and some work around valves in combustion chamber to increase flow. the mill and performance vj alone account for close to half the power a ported head makes, commonley referred to as a supersport head .ur doing mods that support each other and necessary for most power.head needs cam, cam needs head if u want it all. if u decide against porting do the mill/valve job minimium, worth about 7-8 hp $300-350. can recommend good
machinist for this. gen 1 tb's need more work, gen 2-3 are pretty good. smothing transistion to primary flies and removing flies/sec rods adds some power. pulling sec flies, leaving rods in just like the zx14, more mid power tuned, but in place naked sec rods cost 2+ hp loss up top. may consider trading up to gen 4 or 5. kaw already done the work.

This is my 2D Magmod, this was a fun project and you can see the build thread here. Please take a look threw it for all the details, I'll just put the highlights / spec's here
2-mode olight driver true CC, 3.4A for 636Lm high, 217Lm low, The output is exactly the same regardless if your running 6AA's or 2 18650's. The head still focuses just like a factory incan and the XM-L2 S6 7D3 puts out warm white 90+ CRI light that looks very much like the color of the stock incan bulb (but of course many many times more output). One other point to mention, the factory switch was replaced with an electronic "tact" button. The light will include the 18650 PVC spacer and the 6AA battery carrier, when using AA's there also needs to be a copper spacer used in the battery tube to make up the extra length (and yes its included too). just want to reiterate since it makes this light so special, the output on both high and low is exactly the same between battery types! (note 6AA's are in series) DO NOT TRY 6x14500! Oh also there is a hidden strobe accessible by double click.
Price for everything is $50 shipped CONUS 7/15 price drop $45 shipped and will include a pair of 18650's!
Bumping this one too, for no extra money I will be glad to swap in an XM-L2 U2 1A instead of the S6 if anyone is interested in the light but doesn’t like warm white.
This option will literally double output (also let me know of you’d like it dedomed at the same time, these D cell mag reflectors are well known for having good throw and focusing a dedomed emitter is as simple as twisting the head). With a U2 it should do ~1100Lm OTF and [if dedomed] ~75kcd+.

LAUNCH OF 16 DAYS OF ACTIVISM AGAINST THE ABUSE OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN
27 November 2021
The Mpumalanga Provincial Government has lamented the withdrawal of cases by the victims of abuse as one of the reasons that perpetuate the scourge. This as Mpumalanga launched the 16 days of activism against the abuse of women and children. The campaign was launched in Karinet, in Emalahleni Municipality on Friday. The area is located in the vicinity of the Vosman Police Station, cited among the thirty (30) stations in the province which recorded a high prevalent of cases.
The Provincial Government expressed a grave concern about the rising number of cases against women and children, recorded between April to September 2021 in Mpumalanga. Of the four thousand one hundred and fourty eight (4148) cases, 84 were for murder, 716 were for rape, 72 were for sexual assault, 25 were for attempted rape, 1302 were for assault and 1862 were for common assault.
MEC for Social Development, Ms Lindiwe Ntshalintshali addressed the function on behalf of the Premier, Ms Refilwe Mtshweni-Tsipane. Ntshalintshali urged the leadership of police in the province to increase the number of units that protect children against violence. “I kindly urge you to expedite the issue of increasing the number of Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences (FCS) units across all police stations in the province, especially in problematic areas such as Kabokweni, Pienaar, Embalenhle, Emalahleni and KwaMhlanga,” she said.
She cited access to the courts by women in rural areas and an increase in the rate of prosecution, as one of the solutions to stop gender based violence. “We will request the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services to increase the number of sexual offences courts in rural areas, as one of the measures to increase the rate of conviction and ensure harsher sentences against the perpetrators,” she said.
Ntshalintshali said the withdrawal of cases by the victims in the police stations negate the fight against gender based violence and should be discouraged.

What are the challenges businesses face to not only keep customers happy, but also secure?
This was the highlight of the DE-CIX Summit held at CBRE Midtown Manhattan on Oct 13, where panelists from top telecommunication companies discussed hurdles in the future of connectivity. Ed d’Agostino, Vice President of DE-CIX North America, served as the main moderator for the morning event.
Panelists did not hold back opinions on the future of connectivity and wiring in New York City and beyond.
“There’s a great duct system that goes underneath the city streets, but it’s very congested. “It’s hard to manage,” Ray La Chance, CEO of ZenFi said. “So the primary challenge, number one for building fiber in this town is really the duct system, and the expense of dealing with that.”
Shrihari Pandit, CEO of Stealth Communications added that there should be a better way to manage it.
“I think to make broadband really available and to make all these buildings cost effective, a common duct system is required,” he said. “I go to a building sometimes and I see there’s like five different ducts from each different company built and this is hilarious.”
La Chance pointed out problems with municipalities and rules governing wiring infrastructure.
“We get conflicting messages,” La Chance said. “One message from the city (New York) is we’d like to propagate broadband access to the under served and every part of the city. On the other hand they put a franchise model in place that charges us per foot of network that we deploy.”
The event had another panel titled, ‘Impacts of the Cloud on Network to Network Connectivity’.
“Small businesses want to know, How can I get the best service with longevity?” New York City Wired Editor-in-Chief, Monica Link said. “Cybersecurity is also a huge issue among small and mid-sized businesses shopping for cloud.” Link also served as a moderator for the Connectivity To Anywhere – Under The Asphalt And Beyond Buildings, panel discussion.
Ivo Ivanov, executive board member of DE-CIX, a carrier and data-center neutral internet exchange point, assured customers that their platform protects them and their data. The company launched a new service In Munich Thursday, which will also be available in Frankfurt, called DE-CIX Cloud Direct. Ivanov describes the service as a “very secure, dedicated, private link to a variety of different cloud operators or cloud aggregation providers.”
Cloud panel moderator Ilissa Miller, CEO of iMiller Public Relations left the audience with this thought.
“Being in the cloud presents us all with opportunities to look at our businesses from a very different perspective,” she said. “I think that security at each layer of the platforms, the capabilities that we’re providing access to is really important, and having ownership of your own security of what you are responsible for.”


2 construction workers critically injured in Pleasant View
Two construction workers were critically injured Tuesday afternoon when a wall collapsed on site.
Ricky Read of the Pleasant View Volunteer Fire Department said one man was in “very critical” condition and another had “critical fractures” to his leg when an exterior wall fell.
Read said the call came in around 3:06 p.m. Tuesday. Others on site had already lifted the wall and removed both injured men by the time first responders arrived.
There’s no indication as to how the wall fell, Read said. Workers were constructing a house in the Sycamore Ridge development, a subdivision off of Highway 49 E near Sycamore High School.
“It was a pretty quick incident,” Read said. “We got in there and got them out” and transported them.
Though it was unclear how the construction workers were doing Wednesday, “I think they’re both going to be fine,” Read said.

A little bit
In 1973, Rosaly Bass started her garden and it just kept getting bigger and bigger. In 1989, after many years of selling wholesale to local stores and restaurants, she became the second certified organic farm in New Hampshire. A year later she opened a farmstand with the dream to bring the philosophy of sustainable, organic farming to her community.
Decades later, this dream to create and preserve local food systems remains as Rosaly’s step-granddaughter, Alex Walker, and Alex’s half-sister, Clover Fiandaca, take the helm with fresh energy and a commitment to creating a space for growth, community, and, of course, good food.

LIHUE — Monday was Alana Cayabyab Day at the Kauai High School pool.
“She deserves this,” said Mokihana Aquatics Coach Orlando “O” Anaya. “I cannot think of a swimmer with more accomplishments than Alana had at the 65th Annual Keo Nakama Invitational, the longest running Invitational swim meet, in the U.S., at the Veterans Aquatic Center on Oahu.”
With Coach Anaya proclaiming Monday as Alana Cayabyab Day, the 10-year-old swimmer had the choice of either practicing or a free swim with her Mokihana Aquatics brothers and sisters.
The choice was easy, the soft-spoken girl opting for free swim, scattering the swimmers into the pool.
“When she entered the Keo Nakama over the weekend, she had only one state (QUAL) time,” Anaya said. “By the time she was through, she picked up five new QUAL times, and despite being disqualified on one event, missed state times in three events, each one by less than a second. That’s the snap of a finger!”
In her DQ event, she was on pace to swim faster than her seeded time, Anaya said.
“In my 30 years of coaching, I have never seen anything like this,” the coach told the gathering of parents Monday. “She was that awesome. You had to be there.”
Cayabyab’s first Invitational medal, a bronze, came in the 100 butterfly where she touched at 1:31.90, a 9.26 improvement over her seeded swim.
“To think, this little girl from Kauai was winning events from the outside lane 1 and 10, and by more than a body’s length,” Anaya said, unable to contain his excitement over the swimmer’s achievements. “And in her third place performance, the other two swimmers were ZONE swimmers.”
Cayabyab, swimming in 10 events, finished with a DQ, and six QUAL swims with with improvements in eight swims. Her biggest improvement came in the 200 individual medley, where she touched at 3:19.61, an improvement of 13.38, and in the 100 breaststroke where she stopped the clock at 1:49.52, an improvement of 10.54.
“It was a lot of fun,” Cayabyab said softly.
Joining Cayabyab, fellow Mokihana Aquatics swimmer Luke Roberts, 12, interrupted his family’s vacation to swim in three events, or one day, posting improvements in two of the three events.
His best showing came in the 100 backstroke where he touched at 1:29.35, an improvement of 10.19.
“This will be Luke’s final swim before aging up,” Anaya said. “We’ve already started looking at times in the 13-14 age grouping, one of the harder age groups.”
Anaya said Cayabyab, on the other hand, will be able to swim two meets in her age group before aging up.
“She’ll be at the state long course meet in one-and-a-half weeks at the Kihei Aquatic Center on Maui,” Anaya said. “Following her performance at Keo Nakama, she should be able to make finals at the Long Course champs.”
After starting with the Mokihana Learn to Swim program three years ago, Cayabyab was announced as the latest and youngest girls co-captain.
“She showed why,” Anaya said. “Not just beause of her ‘breakout’ weekend, but for the way she worked for it. Long, long days. Alana asks if we need help for the Learn to Swim program, and stays for team practice after the program. We push her, and she goes for it. Alana herself told me this weekend that she is not even a swimmer, yet. She is right.”
