Just 'stirring the pot' again. UBMurdock: Global cooling is hereWinter officially arrives with Sunday's solstice. But for many Americans, autumn 2008's final days already feel like deepest, coldest January.New Englanders still lack electricity after a December 11 ice storm snapped power lines. Up to eight inches of snow struck New Orleans and southern Louisiana that day and didn't melt for 48 hours in some neighborhoods.In southern California Wednesday, a half-inch of snow brightened Malibu's hills while a half-foot barricaded highways and marooned commuters in desert towns east of Los Angeles. Three inches of the white stuff shuttered Las Vegas's McCarren Airport that day and dusted the Strip's hotels and casinos.What are the odds of that?Actually, the odds are rising that snow, ice, and cold will grow increasingly common. As serious scientists repeatedly explain, global cooling is here. It is chilling temperatures and so-called "global-warming."According to the National Climatic Data Center, 2008 will be America's coldest year since 1997, thanks to La Nina and precipitation in the central and eastern states. Solar quietude also may underlie global cooling.This year's sunspots and solar radiation approach the minimum in the Sun's cycle, corresponding with lower Earth temperatures. This echoes Harvard-Smithsonian astrophysicist Dr. Sallie Baliunas' belief that solar variability, much more than CO2, sways global temperatures.Meanwhile, the National Weather Service reports that last summer was Anchorage's third coldest on record. "Not since 1980 has there been a summer less reflective of global warming," Craig Medred wrote in the Anchorage Daily News.Consequently, Alaska's glaciers are thickening in the middle. "It's been a long time on most glaciers where they've actually had positive mass balance," U.S. Geological Survey glaciologist Bruce Molnia told Medred October 13. Similarly, the National Snow and Ice Data Center found that Arctic sea ice expanded 13.2 percent this year, or a Texas-sized 270,000 square miles.Across the equator, Brazil endured an especially cold September. Snow graced its southern provinces that month."Global Warming is over, and Global Warming Theory has failed. There is no evidence that CO2 drives world temperatures or any consequent climate change," Imperial College London astrophysicist and long-range forecaster Piers Corbyn wrote British Members of Parliament on October 28."According to official data in every year since 1998, world temperatures have been colder than that year, yet CO2 has been rising rapidly." That evening, as the House of Commons debated legislation on so-called "global-warming," October snow fell in London for the first time since 1922.These observations parallel those of five German researchers led by Professor Noel Keenlyside of the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences. "Our results suggest that global surface temperature may not increase over the next decade," they concluded in last May's "Nature," "as natural climate variations in the North Atlantic and tropical Pacific temporarily offset the projected anthropogenic (man-made) warming."This "lull" should doom the 0.54 degree Fahrenheit average global temperature rise predicted by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the Vatican of so-called "global warming." Incidentally, the IPCC's computer models factor in neither El Nino nor the Gulf Stream. Excluding such major climate variables would be like ESPN ignoring baseball and basketball.So, is this all just propaganda concocted by Chevron-funded, right-wing, flat-Earthers? Ask Dr. Martin Hertzberg, a physical chemist and retired Navy meteorologist."As a scientist and life-long liberal Democrat, I find the constant regurgitation of the anecdotal, fear mongering clap-trap about human-caused global warming to be a disservice to science," Hertzberg wrote in September 26's USA Today. "From the El Nino year of 1998 until Jan., 2007, the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere near its surface decreased some 0.25 C (0.45 F). From Jan., 2007 until the spring of 2008, it dropped a whopping 0.75 C (1.35 F)."As global cooling becomes more widely recognized, Americans from Maine to Malibu should feel comfortable dreaming of a white Christmas.
When the one you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.
An interesting article where the cause of the little ice age (1600-1850) was caused by man, more explicity, the demise of the native Americas population caused by disease brought by Europeans.
Thanks for posting that.
The part that has always gotten me is when someone mentions "man made" global warming. I know it is the progression, dare I say evolution, of secular humanism in our society.
Just stick around a little while and the weather will change.

Anyone else play it yet?
Anyone else play it yet?
I have played for about an hour or so but I am in the process of moving right now. So not alot of extra time to play.
I have beat it and have moved on to the side missions. I really like it. My only complaint is the actual campaign is too short. But that is my opinion. On a side note. If you would care to play through as the Batman from Batman Beyond buy a can of NOS energy drink, the ones with the codes under the tab. Register at the website given on the can and then go herehttp://www.drinknos.com/rewards.do?itemId=15766 to redeem the code for the skin. Once you have beat the game you can play with the new costume during the side missions and you can also use them in the challanges.
Is it worth paying full price for it? I tend to wait and play older games instead of paying the crazy amount they charge for new games these days. Exceptions being franchises I really like, which includes Batman...
like everyone else said the story mode is shorter than the last game but there are some really fun things in the story mode too playing as cat woman is kinda fun too for me
It`s worth buying and new DLC coming soon
Looking forward too Harley Quinns Revenge DLC.

|>> Archive: Bonefish/Tarpon Flies Flats candy, mangrove magic
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|IF you can, check out Dick Browns book on Bonefish flies...not only does he show 150 flies but he also shows fly boxes set up for various locations and what he considers from his research and first hand accounts on what flies should be in the box at those different locations...Finally...if you search back in this forum you will see that I tied 130 of Brown's 150 with locations and tying materials list...along with a photo of the finished fly.
Bahia Honda! One of my favorite places on this green earth.
You will need a good selection of bonefish flies for some very smart (but BIG) bones that cruise the flats on the south side near the campsites (easy to wade), and up around on the north (hard to reach on foot). Gotchas, small crabs, shrimp, the best ties you can find or make.
Permit might be on the agenda for you, make sure you have the crab fly potpourri in the box.
For fun tie up some 'cuda flies with nylon mesh tubing or a long epoxy body, etc. Something you can move quickly enough to get their attention, poppers will probably fo the trick as well. Wire required.
Tarpon flies, some pilchard patterns like Page's bigeye baitfish would be handy for snook, etc.
I just stayed focused on bonefish the four times I have been there, although I did see permit tails they laughed at my offerings.
I landed a nice bone at Bahia Honda. Stop in and chat with Bonefish Bob, tell him the guys on the flyfishing forum sent you.
Rent a kayak and explore a little to see the lay of the land.
Good luck!
Keys Baitfish
I'm going to be at Bahia Honda at the end of September, fishing for whatever will bite. I'm a first-timer in Florida and was wondering if I could get any recommendations on baitfish patterns?
Thanks in advance,

Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana and Leoncavallo's Pagliacci — the traditional double bill of "verismo" masterpieces, late-19th-century operatic breakthroughs into an earthy, anti-heroic "realism" that focus on dramatic confrontation and feverish theatricality, their plots boiling over with betrayals, revenge, and murder — might not seem an ideal vehicle for concert opera. Yet these chestnuts have not been roasted around these parts in years, and the semi-staged performance Jeffrey Rink led with Chorus pro Musica, a stellar orchestra, and a fine cast of (mostly) Boston newcomers proved that even without scenery or traditional costumes, these operas can pack a wallop. In concert, the vivid and colorful orchestration is front and center, and both operas are wonderful vehicles for chorus.
Both Cav and Pag also have elements that are not strictly realistic. Based on a short story by the great Sicilian writer Giovanni Verga, Cavalleria rusticana — "rustic chivalry" (the title has more than a dash of irony) — is a tight little melodrama in which all the violent passions erupt on Easter Sunday. (The Easter hymn is Mascagni's most famous chorus.) It's almost a direct inversion of a heroic opera like Verdi's Ernani. Both works are driven by a rigid code of honor that leads to the hero's doom, but in Mascagni, the characters are poor, uneducated Sicilian villagers, not Victor Hugo aristocrats. And though the plot is less elaborate, it's equally and perhaps even more elegantly contrived.
Pagliacci, "Clowns" (there's no article in Leoncavallo's title — we're all clowns — though CpR perpetuates the common error of calling it I pagliacci), is more complex. A troupe of commedia dell'arte actors are putting on a play that mirrors with disastrous results their "real life" situation. In his Prologue, Leoncavallo underlines the inextricable interweaving of the theatrical and the actual. These two operas began sharing a double bill as early as 1893, a year after the premiere of Pagliacci and three after that of Cavalleria.
All the performers threw themselves into their parts, vocal soloists and chorus alike singing from memory. Rink's conducting swept one along on torrents of climaxes. He shaped Mascagni's soaring tunes eloquently and seemed to delight in the elegance of Leoncavallo's orchestra, with its evocative music for flute (Julia Skolnik) and harp (Martha Moor capturing both folk-like and celestial aspects). The chorus sang with conviction, as both devout and carousing villagers and as the audience for Leoncavallo's touring players, not only singing but also applauding the "actors" and gasping at the murder. The NEC Children's Chorus was remarkably professional.
Verismo operas need big voices, and Rink cast these operas with several outstanding ones. The suavest and most lyrically refined belonged to a young Harvard grad, baritone Joshua Benaim, as Silvio in Pagliacci, the lover of Nedda, the company comedienne who plays Columbine. In Cavalleria, Greek-American soprano Layna Chianakas was a firm-voiced and impassioned Santuzza, the betrayed heroine. Her gestures tended to be heavy-handed (slapping her hands against her stomach whenever she sang of being excommunicated); she conveyed Santuzza's anger more than her desperation. Chianakas has played leading roles in many regional productions as well as in Europe, but I suspect she hasn't had enough contact with first-rate stage directors; better stage guidance could catapult her career. (She should also shed her uncollegial habit of ending a high note just after everyone else has stopped singing.) As Alfio, the betrayed husband in Cavalleria, baritone David Murray, who's familiar to Boston audiences, gave yet another vivid characterization.

Topical corticosteroid use during pregnancy
Fatoumah Alabdulrazzaq, MD and Gideon Koren, MD, FRCPC, FACMT
June 2012
Some of my pregnant patients have been prescribed various potencies of topical corticosteroids. Do these carry the same fetal risks as systemic corticosteroids?
Pregnant women can be reassured that there is no apparent increased risk of adverse fetal effects when using topical corticosteroids during pregnancy, although some data do suggest fetal growth restriction with more potent topical corticosteroids. Overall, women should be prescribed the lowest potency required whenever possible.
On a prescrit à certaines de mes patientes enceintes des corticostéroïdes topiques à diverses concentrations. Comportent-ils les mêmes risques pour le ftus que les corticostéroïdes systémiques?
On peut rassurer les femmes enceintes qu'il n'y a pas de risque accru apparent d'effets indésirables sur le ftus quand elles utilisent des corticostéroïdes topiques durant la grossesse, quoique certaines données fassent valoir une restriction de la croissance ftale lorsque les corticostéroïdes topiques sont plus puissants. En règle générale, on devrait, dans la mesure du possible, prescrire aux femmes la concentration la plus faible nécessaire.
Topical corticosteroids are prescribed to up to 6% of pregnant women for eczema and other skin conditions such as discoid lupus erythematosus, bullous pemphigoid, chronic plantar pustulosis, polymorphic eruption of pregnancy, and atopic eruptions during pregnancy. 1
The safety for the fetus of maternal use of topical corticosteroids has not been clarified, and product monographs say that they should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
In the past there have been concerns about topical corticosteroid use and its association with orofacial clefts and restricted fetal growth due to similar effects as those caused by systemically delivered steroids, although the bioavailability of topical preparations is quite low.
Topical corticosteroid use
Four recent studies, 3 cohort studies and 1 case-control study did not detect a significant correlation between topical corticosteroid use in the first trimester of pregnancy and orofacial clefts. 2-5 In contrast, Edwards et al conducted a case-control study of 48 children with nonsyndromic orofacial clefts, claiming a significant increase in the prevalence of maternal use of topical corticosteroids in the first trimester of pregnancy compared with 58 controls born in the same hospital (odds ratio 13.154; 95% CI, 1.67 to 5.86; P = .0049). 6
Chi et al conducted a population-based cohort study of 35 503 pregnant women prescribed topical corticosteroids from 85 days before the last menstrual period to delivery or fetal death, failing to find a relationship between the topical use of corticosteroids and orofacial clefts, preterm delivery, or fetal death. However, maternal exposure to potent or very potent forms shortly before and during pregnancy was significantly associated with fetal growth restriction (adjusted risk ratio 2.08; 95% CI, 1.40 to 3.10; number needed to harm 168), and this was confirmed by a significant dose-response relationship (P = .025) and a sensitivity analysis excluding exposure before the last menstrual period. 7
In contrast, in a population-based follow-up study restricted to primigravida women, Mygind et al could not detect increased risk of low birth weight, malformations, or preterm delivery among the offspring of the women exposed to topical corticosteroids during pregnancy. 8 However, Mahé et al demonstrated a significantly increased risk of low birth weight among women who used very potent topical corticosteroids during pregnancy (relative risk 2.84; 95% CI, 1.07 to 7.54). 9
Czeizal and Rockenbauer, in their case-control study, did not find a significant increase in congenital malformations after maternal use of topical corticosteroids in the first 3 months of pregnancy (odds ratio 1.07; 95% CI, 0.71 to 1.60). 5
Recently, recommendations have been developed to guide dermatologists in maternal use of topical corticosteroids during pregnancy 7:
- Mild- to moderate-potency topical corticosteroids should be preferred to more potent corticosteroids during pregnancy.
- Potent to very potent topical corticosteroids should be used as second-line therapy for as short a time as possible.
- The risk of adverse events is increased, theoretically, with use on high-absorption areas like the eyelids, genitals, and flexures.
- Currently, there are no data to determine the fetal safety of the newer potent lipophilic topical corticosteroids (eg, mometasone, fluticasone, and methylprednisolone) and whether they are associated with less risk of fetal growth restriction. 7
Overall topical corticosteroids appear to be safe during pregnancy. High-potency topical corticosteroids should be avoided if possible and when they must be used they should be used only for the shortest period possible.

Good times.
eagles (cons)
Dallas alot of front running big mouths. Sorry True Yankee fans, but some of your bandwagon fans relate
It's not like the disproportionate hate came for no reason.
I urge skeptics to tune into WIP (http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/station/94wip/) or their other new sports station that I can't remember offhand. Tune in before and after a loss in a big game.
They have no doubt of assured victory before, and no mercy for blood afterwards.
Philly by far!
Even their own players hate the Eagle fans.
"During the game, there was a good section of fans chanting some of the most vile things I've ever heard," Babin said according to CBSSports.com's Kevin Noonan. "And not just at a football game, but in life, in general. Talking about attacking [coach Andy Reid], talking about people's wives and kids and chanting them. And I just thought there was no place for that in the NFL -- none whatsoever."

President Obama's framework on tax reform may not materialize into a bill, but it can create substantial debate before the elections, writes Alexis Simendinger at RealClearPolitics.
President Obama's corporate tax reform "framework" unveiled Wednesday is unlikely to become law in an election year, but a partisan and economically rooted debate about individual and business taxes will figure prominently before November.
Two competing visions for fiscal rejuvenation after 2013 are guaranteed to clash when Obama and a GOP nominee finally face one another later this year.
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner was so certain of the oncoming collision that he decided Wednesday to highlight its inevitability as he explained Obama's aims for corporate tax changes.
Geithner will meet with the chairmen of the House and Senate tax-writing committees, possibly next week, to discuss the president's desire to lower the corporate tax rate to 28 percent from 35 percent; create a new minimum tax on earnings abroad to encourage business investment at home; end certain preferences and loopholes, such as those for the oil and gas industries; place a 25 percent effective tax rate cap on manufacturing; and match the revenue raisers against the reduced taxes to make any corporate tax package deficit-neutral.

(ritonavir) Tablets, Oral Solution
Co-administration of NORVIR with several classes of drugs including sedative hypnotics, antiarrhythmics, or ergot alkaloid preparations may result in potentially serious and/or life-threatening adverse events due to possible effects of NORVIR on the hepatic metabolism of certain drugs. Review medications taken by patients prior to prescribing NORVIR or when prescribing other medications to patients already taking NORVIR [see CONTRAINDICATIONS, WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, DRUG INTERACTIONS, and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
NORVIR (ritonavir) is an inhibitor of HIV protease with activity against the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
Ritonavir is chemically designated as 10-Hydroxy-2-methyl-5-(1-methylethyl)-1-[2-(1methylethyl)-4-thiazolyl]-3,6-dioxo-8,11-bis(phenylmethyl)-2,4,7,12-tetraazatridecan-13-oic acid, 5-thiazolylmethyl ester, [5S-(5R*,8R*,10R*,11R*)].

Ritonavir is a white-to-light-tan powder. Ritonavir has a bitter metallic taste. It is freely soluble in methanol and ethanol, soluble in isopropanol and practically insoluble in water.
NORVIR tablets are available for oral administration in a strength of 100 mg ritonavir with the following inactive ingredients: copovidone, anhydrous dibasic calcium phosphate, sorbitan monolaurate, colloidal silicon dioxide, and sodium stearyl fumarate. The following are the ingredients in the film coating: hypromellose, titanium dioxide, polyethylene glycol 400, hydroxypropyl cellulose, talc, polyethylene glycol 3350, colloidal silicon dioxide, and polysorbate 80.
NORVIR oral solution is available for oral administration as 80 mg per mL of ritonavir in a peppermint and caramel flavored vehicle. Each 8-ounce bottle contains 19.2 grams of ritonavir. NORVIR oral solution also contains ethanol, water, polyoxyl 35 castor oil, propylene glycol, anhydrous citric acid to adjust pH, saccharin sodium, peppermint oil, creamy caramel flavoring, and FD&C Yellow No. 6.

Family: Regulidae, Kinglets view all from this family
Description ADULT MALE Has mostly gray olive-green upperparts, but note the striking markings on the wings with two white wing bars, the lower and bolder of the two emphasized by black at the base of the secondaries. Face is adorned with long, white supercilium, emphasized below by dark eyestripe and above by black margin to golden yellow crown; bright orange center to crown is revealed only when bird is displaying. Face is otherwise olive-gray and underparts are pale gray-buff. Legs are black and feet are yellowish. ADULT FEMALE Similar to male, but with a more yellow crown that lacks the orange center. JUVENILE Similar to adult female, but lacks yellow on crown.
Dimensions Length: 3 1/2 -4" (9-10 cm)
Habitat Widespread and common summer visitor (mainly Apr-Sep) to northern coniferous forests. Found year-round in coniferous and mixed forests further south, including increasingly in spruce plantations (less frequently in deciduous woodland); winter migrants favor similar habitats.
Observation Tips Can be hard to follow when foraging actively high in foliage. However, migrants in particular, will often forage much lower and are typically indifferent to human observers.
Range California, Texas, Rocky Mountains, Southwest, Southeast, Alaska, Eastern Canada, Mid-Atlantic, Florida, Great Lakes, Northwest, Western Canada, Plains, New England
Voice Song is a sweet tswee, tswee, tswoo, tswit-tswit-tswit; call is a thin twsee.
Discussion Tiny and extremely active songbird with a thin, needlelike bill. Superficially warblerlike overall, but recognized by rather dumpy proportions and extremely small size. Distinctive head markings allow separation from similarly sized Ruby-crowned. Forages continuously for small insects and spiders, searching along twigs, buds, and among needles, and sometimes hovering to glean prey from otherwise inaccessible spots. Sometimes found in small flocks, and joins roving mixed-species flocks of other small birds outside breeding season. People with good hearing often locate hidden feeding birds by their thin calls. Sexes are dissimilar.

AdamHBeasley Mike Dee tweets that the blackout has been lifted. Game will be on CBS 4 at 1 p.m.
Joy. Time to start stocking up on beer and brats.
COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Now let's beat them down with our big, mauling physical o-line and Reggie Bush and Lamar Miller blasting them and gashing for bigtime runs. Then a little play-action to seal the deal.
Impossible. Locals dont buy tickets.
Three straight losing seasons, 7 or 8 head coaches since Shula, 17 starting quarterbacks. But yeah, it's the fans fault, they're the reason why it's taken the Dolphins this long to address the position and build properly. WHY COULDN'T WE BUY THOSE TICKETS, THOSE TICKETS WOULD HAVE CHANGED DESTINY AND MADE SPEILMANN DRAFT DREW BREES INSTEAD!!!
only three teams in the NFL have used the new buyout clause for blackouts. Miami, Oakland and I think San Fransisco. Here in San Diego the chargers said they couldnt afford the cost to pay the NFL to life the blackout so I guess Miami is fortunate that Ross is willing to spend the money lift the black out. Im not sure on the rule but its like the NFL (mafia) takes a percentage of the gate in order to life the blackout.
Really San Francisco? Their house looks packed all the time. Surprising to read that.
Here is a novel idea if you are not selling out maybe dont raise your ticket prices or actually lower some ticket prices. Its not like the rest of the league sells out all the time and Miami doesnt. Mist of the lower performing attendence teams have underperformed for a few years. You cant even get a decent ticket for less than a 100 dollars and people want to complain how bad the fans are lol.

For the Evil Horde a black/red more technical base would fit, for the Snakemen a piece of green jungle stuff on the ground...
So if he-man has a green rock base , Skeletor has Purple / larva base what should she-ra, Hordak, king hiss, NA He-man have?
For the Evil Horde a black/red more technical base would fit, for the Snakemen a piece of green jungle stuff on the ground...
NA could be metal flooring like inside the Starship.
She-Ra... I guess grass & bushes if you went the Whispering Woods route.
Mutants need a rocky base a la Nordor.
Last edited by Clawful Ofit; January 9, 2013 at 10:26pm. Reason: double post...weired.
The Space Mutants are missing something CRITAcal!
I actually think it would be cool to see the faction logos as stands.
On a side note, I really like the Sewer cover stands the TMNT Classics come with, I think all figures should come with them, especially collectors figures.
Recent.... HATMOTU Beast Man & Evil Seed
Wanted.... Filmation Mer-Man, Teela & Sorceress
Needed.... MOTUC Lord Masque
Oh man, did I forget to use these [sarcasm][/sarcasm] again? Sorry....
For She-Ra... Some pink cloudy thing... with sparkles... that I wont buy
Cool checklist:
Pink crystal castle rocks. Just like He-Man has greenish Castle Grayskull rocks.
I wouldn't want pink stands for sure. I would do more of a whispering woods vibe or if you go by the bios, She Ra can just use the castle grayskull stands, as she is helping He-man.
I'm ok.
Oh oh. Wait.
I can't stop laughing. That's so hilarious. Oh my gosh!!
Oh wow! That was hilarious. You should write for SNL ...
ANYWAY, it would be cool to see translucent stands with paint apps. Blue maybe? Because blue could be whispering woods or the inside of the cartoon crystal castle.
A Want List of Sorts: at this point... I just hope there is a 2017...
Whispering Woods and Fright Zone figure stands would be really, really cool. Just sayin' Mattel.
I think they should be the following:
She-ra/POP: Mostly gold as if its flooring inside the crystal castle. Perhaps with a translucent pink gem in the center
Snakemen: sand type base
NA: Silver flooring of starship
HORDE: Red with black wash, flooring of frightzone palace
Check me out: www.patrickireland.net
In theory I like stands. Until they double the footprint of every figure and take up too much space. And end up in crates. Which is a shame, but a reality so I wouldn't buy any more no matter how good they were.
She-Ra/The Great Rebellion - Green grass base with the pink "bubble/popple" looking bushes/flowers from the Whispering Woods.
Snakemen - I have no idea. Maybe a brown rock-like base?
New Adventures - Metallic silver base.
The Evil Horde - Black rock with red lava.
You really want stands that will crack or shatter apart?Originally Posted by bcrduke

Post reporter to discuss Iraq war, Dec. 5
Posted November 29, 2007; 10:20 a.m.
Thomas Ricks, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for The Washington Post, will speak on "The Iraq War as a Failure of the American System" at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 5, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
Ricks has covered the U.S. military for the Post since 2000 and previously covered the same subject for The Wall Street Journal for 17 years. A Pulitzer winner for his work at both newspapers, Ricks has reported on U.S. military activities in Somalia, Haiti, Korea, Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Kuwait, Turkey, Afghanistan and Iraq.
Ricks' book, "Fiasco: The American Military Adventure in Iraq," explores the Bush administration's planning and execution of the 2003 invasion of Iraq and argues that the United States was poorly prepared to deal with the ramifications of the invasion.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

An idea hatched in our KPL Innovation Team to celebrate the popularity of teen novels to adult readers during the month of April. No other segment of the publishing industry has consistently grown over the past few years. Adults are unabashedly checking out novels specifically written for teens. In 2012, Amazon listed John Green's The Fault in Our Stars as one of the overall Ten Best Books of the Year which is quite an accomplishment when measured against the adult competition. I spent the first half of my career at KPL as the Teen Services Librarian and during that time a new "Golden Age" of Teen Literature had begun. During that time I read hundreds of novels for teens and below list the five titles I would want with me if stranded on a desert island.
1. Rats Saw God by Rob Thomas – The creator of the cult classic TV show Veronica Mars pens a now classic tale of Steve York, troubled teen and son of an astronaut. York is charged with writing an essay about his life in order to graduate. The result is a hilarious look at one teen's transformation from shooting star to crashed space debris. 2. Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes by Chris Crutcher – Disfigured Sarah and formerly fat kid Eric are unlikely friends. When she enters a mental institution, Eric learns the story behind her "accident" and demonstrates incredible loyalty to readers. The in-class discussions the teens have in this novel are amazing. 3. Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson – Melinda is raped at a party right before entering high school. When she is discovered calling the police by her friends, they turn on her because they are unaware of her situation. She decides not to speak during the school year and is haunted in the halls every day by her attacker. 4. Feed by M.T. Anderson – In the future humans are implanted with feeds to help them digitally navigate the world. Titus and his friends love being able to interact with one another, immediately order clothes, and listen to the latest music. His view changes when he meets Violet, a girl with a damaged feed and little hope for the future. 5. Dangerous Angels: The Weetzie Bat Books by Francesca Lia Block – Five short novels combined to make a magical book featuring the eccentric Weetzie Bat and friends. A modern fairy tale of mysticism, and hot dogs that is filled with inventive slang, colorful settings, and most importantly a huge dose of love in a dangerous world.

We told them the land was posted and then an argument ensued. We left and hunted another spot but this is becoming more and more of an issue.

Large map. Map shows lava flows (red) active in September 2000 above and on Pulama pali and on the coastal plain, as well as flows erupted earlier from Pu`u `O`o and Kupaianaha. The eastern part of the active flow field (orange) extended to the Royal Gardens private access road on January 11 and entered the sea near Waha`ula on February 3-14, 2000. That flow stopped in mid-August. A new flow (red) descended Pulama pali and crossed the coastal plain in September, and lava is now entering the sea at Kamokuna, an area about 1.5 km west-southwest of Waha`ula.

Events celebrate life of Theodore Weiss, Nov. 21-22
Posted November 14, 2003; 03:51 p.m.
The Program in Creative Writing will honor and celebrate the life and work of the late Theodore Weiss, emeritus professor in the Princeton University English department, with two events on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 21-22.
Weiss, an award-winning poet, editor and literary critic, died on April 15 at age 86 after a battle with Parkinson's disease. He was editor and publisher of the nationally acclaimed Quarterly Review of Literature (QRL) for nearly 60 years with his wife Renie. His poems were widely published in prominent literary magazines and anthologies as well as in a dozen books of poetry.
Weiss' poetry will be read and remembrances will be shared at 4:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 21, at the Stewart Film Theater, 185 Nassau St. At 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 22, two documentaries about Weiss and his work will be screened at the theater. In the 1987 work, "Living Poetry: A Year in the Life of a Poem," filmmaker Harvey Edwards followed Weiss for a year and documented the creation and evolution of his poem, "Fractions," from the initial inspiration to the finished piece. Edwards' 1995 follow-up film, "Living Poetry 2: Yes, With Lemon," chronicled subsequent revisions to "Fractions" and included a discussion by a group of Princeton undergraduates and a faculty member about the final version.
Both events are sponsored by the Althea Ward Clark Reading Series in the Program in Creative Writing.

For example, the recently formed MAINE ALLIANCE FOR SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION (spearheaded by the League of Young Voters, and comprising the Bicycle Coalition of Maine, Portland's Bike/Ped Advisory Committee, and several environmental organizations) is focusing on four specific initiatives: a city trip-reduction program, which would encourage city staffers to reduce vehicle use; a fee-in-lieu-of-parking program, in which developers pay a fee instead of building additional parking spaces; the establishment of a sustainable transportation fund, using the fees-in-lieu; and a no-turn-on-red policy at several key intersections, to help bikers and pedestrians.
The city, according to Judy Harris, director of the city's OFFICE OF TRANSPORTATION PLANNING, has many similar goals. City planners are particularly interested in leading by example in trip-reduction, by improving transport efficiency among city employees (which could mean anything from ridesharing to working from home). Harris is also looking forward to public workshops this spring on the Peninsula Transit Study, which was completed last year. The study put forth many recommendations to improve efficiency (it helped bring the U Car Share to town, for example); now, they'll look at what more needs to be done, and consider "reordering of priorities," Harris says.
The League, in addition to supporting MAST's initiatives, is honing in on the Sensible Transportation Policy Act, a 1991 state law (broadened in 2003) that frames the way state and local officials think about transit development and investment decisions. The law says transportation planning and community planning must be linked, and the League's "goal is to give the STPA teeth," says Hilary Frenkel, field organizer at the League and coordinator of MAST.
"In addition to opposing the bad stuff [like highway expansion] we're trying to support proactive measures," Frenkel says. She gives a specific example: if a pedestrian pathway is included as part of the widening of the Franklin Arterial exit off I-295, the League will consider that a victory because it combines a traditional (highway-related) transport with alternatives.
The PORTLAND AREA COMPREHENSIVE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM (PACTS), the entity charged with planning in the Portland metropolitan area, sees the Gorham East-West Corridor Feasibility Study as another example of comprehensive planning. The study, which should be complete by summer, is examining transportation and land use between the Gorham/Standish area and Portland/South Portland/Scarborough. As they think about ways to address development and congestion in this region, planners are "considering different futures," says Carl Eppich, transportation planner at PACTS — including alternative transit and options that might not mean simply building more roads.
Green-transport advocates aren't convinced that the paradigm shift from traditional to sustainable transportation solutions has been fully achieved. The Maine Department of Transportation, Frenkel says, "has recently broadened discussion of non-highway alternatives" and has started "some innovative albeit small scale public transit efforts," but "its new projects, long term plans, and budget remain almost completely focused on highway expansion."
But in these tight times, it's hard to do otherwise. No goals, sustainable or otherwise, can be realized without cash.
"The biggest thing that [activist groups] can do help create new funding streams to support green transportation," Eppich says, noting that one-shot stimulus funds and insufficient taxes and tolls are not enough: "We literally cannot afford to maintain what's out there today with our current funding mechanism."

Professor of Computer Science Ed Felten makes statement regarding SDMI presentation
Posted April 26, 2001; 10:56 a.m.
science Professor Edward W. Felten and colleagues have decided not to proceed with a scheduled presentation on the security of digital watermarks in music recordings because of the threat of litigation. The paper was to be presented Thursday at the Fourth International Information Hiding Workshop in Pittsburgh.
In a statement, Felten said:
"Our paper was submitted via the normal academic peer-review process. The reviewers, who were chosen for their scientific reputations and credentials, enthusiastically recommended the paper for publication, due to their judgment of the paper's scientific merit."
"Nevertheless, the Recording Industry Association of America, the SDMI Foundation, and the Verance Corporation threatened to bring a lawsuit if we proceeded with our presentation or the publication of our paper. Threats were made against the authors, against the conference organizers, and against their respective employers."
"Litigation is costly, time-consuming, and uncertain, regardless of the merits of the other side's case. Ultimately we, the authors, reached a collective decision not to expose ourselves, our employers, and the conference organizers to litigation at this time."
"We remain committed to free speech and to the value of scientific debate to our country and the world..."

Meanwhile, in London, Molly has married George Darling and is raising three children: Wendy, Michael, and John. One night, a visitor appears at her door; it's James, one of Peter's original Lost Boys. He is now working for Scotland Yard and suspects that the heir to England's throne, Prince Albert Edward, is under the influence of shadow creatures. These shadow creatures are determined to find a secret cache of starstuff, which fell to London many centuries ago. The starstuff is hidden in an underground vault, which has only one key: the Sword of Mercy, a legendary weapon kept with the crown jewels.
Molly is determined to locate and protect it, but when she suddenly goes missing, it is up to her 11-year-old daughter, Wendy, to keep it out of the Others' clutches. Wendy has heard her mother's stories of a flying boy named Peter Pan, and he may be her only hope of saving the world from a shadowy doom.
Listen to the rest of the Starcatchers series.
©2009 Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson; (P)2009 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
I am so excited about this new book. I thought after the last in the series the authors were done with it. I am in my 20s and still think this series is awesome. Jim Dale is the best narrator around. I was just looking through to see what he had narrated lately and came across this great book. I hope Mr. Barry and Pearson keep pumping these out. I for one will buy every one of them.
"Great Series"
I am always on the look-out for child friendly books that I enjoy listening to as well. And that one of my favorite narrators is reading is icing on the cake! I highly enjoyed this entire series, though this particular book took me a little longer to get into than the others. I don't think anyone would be disappointed with these books!
"Another great adventure"
The Sword of Mercy is another great book from Barry and Pearson. Although the story is a little more predictable I still greatly enjoyed every minute of it. Jim Dale once again did a wonderful job of narrating the story. I hope that they continue the series as I throughly enjoyed all three books.
"A Chance to Never Grow Up"
I started listening to the Peter and the Starcatcher books because I was looking for books narrated by Jim Dale. I loved listening to him read all the Harry Potter books and wanted more. He did a fantastic job with these stories.
The Sword of Mercy, and all the other Starcatcher books are great fun. They are definitely children's books, but as an adult I still had fun returning to Neverland and hearing more about Peter. The first several Starcatcher books explain how Neverland came into being and how Peter became Peter. Those books are far enough back in time that there is no problems with continuity between them and the original Peter Pan book. My one issue with this 4th book is that Peter meets Wendy, John, and Michael as kids and thus it no longer makes sense why he meets them for the first time in the original story. But if you can suspend your disbelief then it's still a fun listen.
Rob Thomas
"Excellent conclusion to the series."
The final instalment of this series takes place many years after the preceding adventures. This makes for some interesting situations. We find out how much things have changed during the intervening period and get to meet Wendy and her brothers, among other new characters.
As with the earlier books, this one is very exciting, funny, very well-written, and excellently narrated. It was a fun romp for my kids as well as for me and the missus.
Highly recommended.
"This book is amazing in every way!"
On a scale of one too ten I would give you ten out of ten. This is a great book to listen to on a long trip
"27 and still love it"
I've listened to this book at least 8 times since I downloaded it. Jim Dale is so wonderful and does an incredible job! the narrator really makes this so good!
"Loved it! Excellent entertainment -Recommend."
If you have followed the series, you will love this book! The narrator is the best and the story is captivating. You will thoroughly enjoy - highly recommend. Provides hours of great entertainment,
"Disappointing addition"
It was ok but the other 3 books were so good and the plotting so good. This one felt forced and it doesn't work with the Disney Peter Pan like the others do. My daughter did not like as well. Exciting but ruined the idea of how Peter became Peter by messing with Wendy and it not falling in line with the movie were the other books explained why things were a certain way in the movie.
Not messed up Wendy
His voice is great but even he seemed to lose something in trying to make it work.
I would love more books but they would have to take place after the Disney movie in the time line. My daughter was not fooled and was disappointed that this one did not stay true. Wendy didn't know about the magic in the movie and in this book she did.
Immigration lawyer in Kansas City. I like Character driven dramas, fantasy (monsters, magic and witches oh my!) and coming of age stories. Favs include: The Book Thief, The Game of Throne series, Harry Potter Series, Dresden Files, Nightside series, anything by Neil Gaimen, 100 Years of Solitude.
"I am so sad this series is over"
Please please please please write another book. And please please please have Jim Dale Narrate it. I have found this series utterly charming and engrossing. The much more psychological and in depth look at Peter Pan and the complexity and loneliness of what it means to be Peter Pan is a remarkable spin on this beloved classic. It is a greatly three dimensional back story on a literary character that I never really thought much about. I was truly sad when the book ended. it is creative, well written, funny, fast paced and engaging.
Narrated by Jim Dale is like putting butter creme icing on a cupcake, it just make something already wonderful even better.

We appreciate your patience as we proceed with this vital project.
Creating Your Own Libraries
[ Many thanks to Dr. Jeff Orrey of Ojo Solutions for this contribution. Jeff's contact info is given at the end of this article. ]
Do you find yourself frequently reusing code fragments to perform tasks that you do on a regular basis? If so, those code fragments are perfect candidates for a library. Creating you own library of routines makes your codes cleaner and more compact, and it encourages you to standardize certain operations that your codes frequently perform.
Creating and using a library on the ARSC Cray T3E is no different that doing so on other Unix machines. First, the source code for the library must be compiled into object code. Then the object files are linked together into an archive using ar(1). The archive is then passed to ranlib(1), which prepares the archive for linking. All of these steps are typically performed in the Makefile for the library. Once the library is prepared for linking, the routines in the library may be called from code which links the library.
Following is a Makefile example for a library called libexample.a:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # Makefile for generating example library libexample.a # LIB= libexample.a AR= /bin/ar ARFLAGS= -r LORDER=`lorder TSORT= tsort` RANLIB= /opt/ctl/bin/ranlib INCLUDES= -I${HOME}/include INSTALLDIR= ${HOME}/lib CLEAN= cflags= -g -I${HOME}/include OBJS= libexample.o ${LIB} : ${OBJS} ${AR} ${ARFLAGS} $@ ${LORDER} ${OBJS} ${TSORT} ${RANLIB} $@ .c.o: ${CC} ${CFLAGS} ${COFLAGS} ${INCLUDES} ${DEFINES} -c $*.c install: cp ${LIB} ${INSTALLDIR} --------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this case, libexample.c contains header files, a #define, and a routine which reads and prints a data file containing geographic header information and data values stored in a grid:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- /* * libexample.c */ #include <stdio.h> #include "structure.h" #define DIE(str) error_fatal(__LINE__,__FILE__,str) void error_fatal( line, file, msg ) int line; char *file, *msg; { fprintf (stderr, "FATAL ERROR in file: %s line: %d message:\n*****\"%s\"\n", file, line, msg); fflush (stderr); globalexit (1); /* kill (pid0, SIGINT); exit(1); */ } read_vgrid( g, filename ) VGrid *g; char *filename; { FILE *ifile; int i, err, nxyz; ifile = fopen( filename, "r" ); if ( ifile == NULL ) DIE( "Can't open input vgrid file!\n" ); err = fread ( &(g->lat_origin), sizeof(double), 1, ifile ); if (err != 1) DIE( "Can't read parameter: lat_origin\n"); err = fread ( &(g->lon_origin), sizeof(double), 1, ifile ); if (err != 1) DIE( "Can't read parameter: lon_origin\n"); err = fread ( &(g->depth_origin), sizeof(double), 1, ifile ); if (err != 1) DIE( "Can't read parameter: depth_origin\n"); err = fread ( &(g->angle), sizeof(double), 1, ifile ); if (err != 1) DIE( "Can't read parameter: angle\n"); err = fread ( &(g->phase), 1, 8, ifile ); if (err != 8) DIE( "Can't read parameter: phase\n"); err = fread ( &(g->nvel), sizeof(int), 1, ifile ); if (err != 1) DIE( "Can't read parameter: nvol\n"); g->vel = (double *)malloc( g->nvel * sizeof(double) ); if ( g->vel == NULL ) DIE( "Malloc Error!\n" ); err = fread ( g->vel, sizeof(double), g->nvel, ifile ); if (err != g->nvel) DIE( "Can't read velocities\n"); err = fread ( &(g->nx), sizeof(int), 1, ifile ); if (err != 1) DIE( "Can't read parameter: nx\n"); err = fread ( &(g->ny), sizeof(int), 1, ifile ); if (err != 1) DIE( "Can't read parameter: ny\n"); err = fread ( &(g->nz), sizeof(int), 1, ifile ); if (err != 1) DIE( "Can't read parameter: nz\n"); err = fread ( &(g->dg), sizeof(double), 1, ifile ); if (err != 1) DIE( "Can't read parameter: dg\n"); nxyz = g->nx * g->ny * g->nz; g->vol = (unsigned int *)malloc( nxyz * sizeof(unsigned int) ); if ( g->vol == NULL ) DIE( "Malloc Error!\n" ); err = fread ( g->vol, sizeof(unsigned int), nxyz, ifile ); if (err != nxyz ) DIE( "Can't read volume\n"); fclose(ifile); printf( "read_vgrid: %s\n", filename ); printf( "lat_origin: %f\n", g->lat_origin ); printf( "lon_origin: %f\n", g->lon_origin ); printf( "depth_origin: %f\n", g->depth_origin ); printf( "angle: %f\n", g->angle ); printf( "phase: %s\n", g->phase ); printf( "nx: %d\n", g->nx ); printf( "ny: %d\n", g->ny ); printf( "nz: %d\n", g->nz ); printf( "dg: %f\n", g->dg ); printf( "nvel: %d\n", g->nvel ); for ( i = 0; i < g->nvel; i++ ) printf( "Velocity[%d]:\t%f\n", i, g->vel[i] ); } --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once libexample.c is compiled, it can be used by code which requires reading of data using the utility read_vgrid(), above. Following is a Makefile template, for a routine called mycode.c which incorporates the library libexample.a:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # Makefile template for a routine called mycode.c which incorporates # the library libexample.a # BIN= mycode INCLUDES= -I$(HOME)/include MAN1= mycode.1 MYLIBDIR = -L$(HOME)/lib MYLIBS = -lexample LDLIBS = $(MYLIBDIR) $(MYLIBS) INSTALLDIR = $(HOME)/bin CFLAGS= -O F90 = f90 OBJS= mycode.o $(BIN) : $(OBJS) $(F90) $(CFLAGS) $(INCLUDES) -o $@ $(OBJS) $(LDFLAGS) $(LDLIBS) .f.o: $(F90) $(FOFLAGS) -c $*.f .F.o: $(F90) $(FOFLAGS) -c $*.F .c.o: $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(COFLAGS) $(INCLUDES) $(DEFINES) -c $*.c clean: rm -f $(BIN) $(OBJS) install: cp $(BIN) $(INSTALLDIR) --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Specifying Number Of Processors
How do you tell Unicos/mk the number of processors (PEs) to use when it runs your application? It's a basic, and, for new users, a sometimes confusing, question. Here's a quick review:
Creating Malleable Executables
You should (probably) compile your application to be "malleable" so you may specify the number of PEs when you launch the executable. To create a malleable executable, omit the "-X" compiler option. E.g.:
f90 prog.f cc prog.c
Running Malleable Executables Interactively
At ARSC, you may run interactive parallel jobs on up to 8 PEs. Assuming "a.out" was compiled to be malleable, you may launch it using the "mpprun" command, providing the "-n" option to specify the number of PEs. E.g.:
mpprun -n 5 ./a.out
(Remember, at ARSC you must specify an explicit path to the executable, even if it is the current default directory--otherwise known as ".".) The above command would tell Unicos/mk to launch "a.out" on 5 application PEs.
So far so good...
Running Malleable Executables In Batch
The batch scheduler on the T3E is "NQS." To use NQS, you write a script and submit it using the "qsub" command.
All qsub scripts have two parts: commands for NQS and command for the shell. With regard to the number of PEs, first you request them from NQS and then you request them from mpprun. All this is documented in:
Here's example #1 from that document:
############################################################ #QSUB -q mpp # Pipe queue, "mpp" required #QSUB -l mpp_p=6 # Reserve 6 application PEs #QSUB -l mpp_t=1:30:10 # Max overall MPP job time: 1 hour, 30 min, 10 sec. #QSUB -l p_mpp_t=30:00 # Max per-process MPP time: 30 min. #QSUB -lT 10:00 # Max overall time on front-end: 10 min. cd /u1/uaf/morris/progs date mpprun -n6 ./myprog data1 # Run on 6 PEs with first data set mpprun -n6 ./myprog data2 mpprun -n6 ./myprog data3 date ############################################################
Note: six PEs are requested of both NQS (#QSUB -l mpp_p=6) and the system (mpprun -n6).
Creating Non-Malleable Executables
You may hard-wire the number of processors required into an executable the "-X" compiler option. E.g.:
f90 -X 6 prog.f cc -X 6 prog.c
We discourage you from doing this (or needing to do this)! If your program can only run on a fixed number of PEs, then it won't scale up to bigger machines and it won't squeeze into available partitions on the current machine.
Running Non-Malleable Executables
Whether running interactively or in batch, if your executable is non-malleable, you must NOT use the "-n" option to mpprun--even if you specify the same number of PEs for which the executable was compiled.
Either of the following commands will run the executable:
./a.out mpprun ./a.out
Testing For Malleability
To determine if your executable is malleable or not, and if not, how many PEs it will run on, use the "file" command:
file a.out

Quick-Tip Q & A
A: {{ Will C correctly cast a pointer reference value? For instance, given this declaration: unsigned temp = *uint; will "temp" be set as expected even if "uint" is an int pointer? }} # # Thanks to Shawn Houston of ARSC for both question and answer. Here's # the answer as paraphrased from the ANSI C Standard: # # A pointer to an object may be converted to a pointer to a different # object type. The resulting pointer might not be valid if it is # improperly aligned for the type pointed to. It is guaranteed, # however, that a pointer to an object of a given alignment may be # converted to a pointer to an object of the same or less strict # alignment and back again. The result shall compare equal to the # original pointer. # # Here's a curious little test: # /*------------------------------------------------------------------*/ /* badcast.c */ unsigned badcast(unsigned* uint) { unsigned temp = *uint; return temp; } int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { int i; for(i = -4; i < 5; ++i) { printf("%d ?= %u : %s\n", i, badcast(&i), i == badcast(&i) ? "YES" : "NO"); } return 0; } /*------------------------------------------------------------------*/ # # The compiler issues warnings about "incompatible pointer type assignment," # but, at the default error levels, creates an executable. Here's a run: # yukon$ ./a.out -4 ?= 18446744073709551612 : YES -3 ?= 18446744073709551613 : YES -2 ?= 18446744073709551614 : YES -1 ?= 18446744073709551615 : YES 0 ?= 0 : YES 1 ?= 1 : YES 2 ?= 2 : YES 3 ?= 3 : YES 4 ?= 4 : YES Q: To SecurID Card veterans: any advice? For instance, how do you carry your card (without destroying it) so it's not at work when you need it at home or vice versa?

Discontinued Product
ELORY Model E-2113 Towel Warmer
Sorry, the manufacturer is no longer producing this product.
Description & Highlights
Amba ELORY Model E-2113 Towel Warmer
From Amba's ELORY Collection, the Model E-2113 Towel Warmer (E2113P, E2113B) features modern, flat-faced design not typical of the usual towel warmer. Instead of heating individual crossbars, this model evenly distributes heat across a large, flat surface, eliminating the problem of hot spots and partially dry towels. The temperature can be regulated up to 167°F, perfect for warming up towels while in the shower, or drying them after use.
Keeping towels warm and dry helps to prevent musty smells and mildew often caused by leaving wet towels out in the bathroom. Drying towels on a warming rack also ensures they are dry and ready the next time you shower, allowing for multiple uses and consequently reducing the need to constantly launder towels. All Amba towel warmers are designed for continuous use as they each contain a built-in thermostat and an internal thermal cutout function, allowing the unit to reach and maintain optimum temperatures on its own.
Note: Assembly and installation required
Built-In Thermostat & Internal Thermal Cutout:Thanks to the internal temperature-monitoring system, the unit will cycle itself to an average temperature of 154˚ to 158˚F then switch itself on and off accordingly, much like a hot water tank
Security Thermofuse Temperature:As a safety precaution, if the unit exceeds 176˚F, it will automatically cut out and turn itself off to prevent burning accidents
Other Applications:In addition to warming and drying towels, this towel warmer can be used to dry bathing suits, beach towels, bathrobes, delicate garments, wet jackets, ski boots, socks, etc.
Two Attractive Finishes:This model is available in polished stainless steel and brushed stainless steel. Choose the finish that matches the rest of your bathroom fixtures
