The initial impetus for the ICFME was oriented towards the testing and calibration of a newly developed physical model for predicting the spread rate and flame front intensity of crown fires. However, the ICFME has also provided the opportunity to examine other aspects or implications of crown fire behavior, without comprising this primary objective, including linkages to firefighter safety/personal protective equipment (PPE) and wildland-urban interface or intermix issues as well as certain ecological and environmental impacts or effects, including concerns about atmospheric chemistry from biomass burning.

Pinckney, 29, has been dealing with a back injury that sidelined him for a year. The Web.com Tour veteran’s game has rounded into form and he is just 36 holes away from earning his first Tour victory after a second-round 64. At 9-under-par, Pinckney is two-strokes ahead of 2014 Wichita Open champions Sebastian Cappelen. Ben Kohles and Kansas native Chris Thompson are three behind heading into the weekend. “I couldn’t repeat anything,” said Pinckney. “My back was different week-in and week-out and I couldn’t repeat anything. About a month and a half ago, two months ago it kind of clicked where my speed kind of came back and I was able to repeat and hit shots.” “I was able to get my control back and hit shots,” he continued. “It’s been progressing, my game has been building which I’m excited about. I’ve been hitting it awesome the last few weeks and made nothing so it’s nice to see the ball go in the hole.” Pinckney, who is from Orem, Utah, has made some swing changes since discovering he had a dehydrated disc in his L5.

Open presented by Under Armour was just that week for Steve Wheatcroft . A second- round 60 propelled the 33-year-old Pennsylvania native to a week in which he made several contributions to the Nationwide Tour record book. Among his achievements were; 1) 255 winning score was the lowest 72-hole mark in the 22-year history of the Nationwide Tour (by three shots), 2) 12-shot victory topped the previous mark by one, 3) 31 birdies tied Craig Lile (2003 Cox Classic), 4) his seven- and eight-shot leads after the second and third rounds, respectively, were Tour records, and 5) second-round 60 was one off the all-time low.
