Solomon's New Book Full of Hysteria, (Imagined) Persecution, and Fraud
Despite the uncertainties, there is general agreement that the observed warming is real and particularly strong within the past 20 years.
Climate Change Science: An Analysis of Some Key Questions
National Academy of Sciences, 2001
I am afraid you won't find that quote in within the pages of Lawrence Solomon's new book, The Deniers: The World-Renowned Scientists Who Stood Up Against Global Warming Hysteria, Political Persecution, and Fraud (and those who are too fearful to do so).
Nope, as the world's longest book title suggests, Solomon is not the least interested in considering a climate consensus - and if that means that he has to cherry-pick quotes, misrepresent data, cut off graphs before their curves become inconvenient and blithely ignore the logical inconsistencies in his own arguments, well, Solomon seems not to mind.
In fairness, though, he comes clean very early in the book (on Page 6, actually) and admits that the whole exercise is a parlor game, a work of sophistry. It all began because he was trying to impress some visiting Chinese environmentalists with the vigor of the environmental debate in North America. So he challenged a friend to "name three climate-change areas that he felt were settled. … I told him if he identified the areas of expertise, I would find a credible dissenting scientist in each."
Though I can't believe anyone would have set up some of the silly points Solomon examines as the most settled in climate science, Solomon set off nevertheless to find any dissent and to write about his findings in a periodic column in the National Post. He later parlayed that series into this book.
The problem is that Solomon's "deniers" don't actually deny climate change. They quibble about the details. They criticize Michael Mann's now entirely dated hockey stick graph. They argue about snow temperatures in Antarctica, but they all still allow - what's the phrase? - that observed warming is real and particularly strong in the last 20 years.
Solomon even says so. He says that while reflecting on his own research, "I … noticed something striking about my growing cast of deniers. None of them were deniers."
If you ask me how someone could make that concession on page 45 and then string the book out to page 213 (not counting footnotes), I have to say that I am still suffering some confusion. And all of it intentional, I am convinced.
Solomon has rounded up the usual suspects and reveled in the usual arguments. He has cherry-picked quotes like this, from the above-reference National Academy of Sciences report:
"Because there is considerable uncertainty in current understanding of how the climate system varies naturally and reacts to emissions of greenhouse gases and aerosols, current estimates of the magnitude of future warming should be regarded as tentative and subject to future adjustments (either upward or downward)."
Fair enough, the magnitude (if not the inevitability) of future warming is debatable. But Solomon follows that quote with this hysterical analysis:
"The press's spin? CNN, in language typical of other reportage, stated that it (the National Academy of Sciences report) represented 'a unanimous decision that global warming is real, is getting worse, and is due to man. There is no wiggle room.'"
Click on the link at the top and I think you'll find that CNN's reporting was accurate. "Real and getting worse" was the conclusion that was reported to President George W. Bush at the time, and while the White House was officially unhappy, they didn't challenge the finding.
But Solomon does. Using graphs that tend to end between 1980 and 2000, and throwing his lot in with the likes of Bob (Global-Warming-Ended-in-1998) Carter, Solomon adds brick upon brick to what remains a very low wall separating the purveyors of doubt from an overwhelming tide of agreement.
But, again, Solomon doesn't make excuses for creating a phony balance between his handful of quibblers and the overwhelming scientific concern about climate change. He says: "… our job is not to settle which side is right but simply to demonstrate that there is a debate, a vigorous and serious one."
So, he quotes Carter saying this: "There is almost universal agreement (my emphasis) that significant carbon dioxide increases – human caused or otherwise – will cause gentle* planetary warming."
And, then later, Solomon concludes, "… our mission is accomplished. Knowing what we know now it is not possible to believe that the science is settled or that there is a scientific "consensus" for the doomsayer view of global warming."
The best part of Solomon's book is the last chapter, in which he suddenly starts to make sense (not counting a bizarre analogy between economics and science).
First, Solomon explains his motive for clinging so desperately to some notion of doubt about climate change: he has spent most of his adult life as a self-styled environmentalist, campaigning against nuclear energy and against the ravages of big hydro electric projects. Once he brought it up, I started to remember the incredibly good work that his organization, Energy Probe, did in the 1990s on the Three Gorges dam** in China.
Now, with fossil-fuel-sourced carbon dioxide identified as the overarching environmental threat, nuclear and mega-hydro projects are back on the front burner. Even people who consider themselves ardent environmentalists – frontrunners in the vegan Birkenstock crowd – are looking at those alternatives with a more open mind. And Solomon's life work seems to be slipping away.
You have to be sympathetic.
Solomon also makes some very good points about the fresh batch of stupid decisions that are being made or justified on the basis of climate change. His attack on bio-fuels seems entirely reasonable. His condemnation of carbon credit trading scams is equally defensible. And his oddly contrarian call for the removal of "all the overt and hidden subsidies to road users, industries, and energy producers" is downright laudable.
That said, this book is nothing more than a gift to the denial industry, a clumsy favor to the oil-entrenched lobbyists who will do anything to slow our response to an issue that has given rise to a very convincing consensus.
Solomon says there are quibblers. He's right. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says there is a 90+ per cent possibility that global warming endangers the world as we know it. And on the central question, even Solomon's selection of contrarian scientists won't deny it.
If there is evidence of "fraud" in this book, it's all in the title. Solomon should be a little embarrassed for having brought it up.
*Doesn't Bob Carter's use of the word "gentle planetary warming" make you feel better? And isn't it creepy to think that a more honest sentence would have read, "gentle and cumulative planetary warming"?
** Solomon's report of "fifty-meter-high waves" in the Three Gorges reservoir is, I have to assume, a typo.

"I ... noticed something
"I … noticed something striking about my growing cast of deniers. None of them were deniers." - Lawrence Solomon
That's because the term "denier" is mostly a fiction invented by alarmist AGW proponents to demonize any questioning of alarmist claims. Few people are deniers; many people are skeptics. Another term you could use for us is to call us lukewarmers. We accept AGW; we still find outrageous claims of catastrophe to be of dubious merit.
And there are many things to question and discuss. Northern hemispheric sea ice area is nearly 1,000,000 square kms larger then last year at this time. Southern hemisphere sea ice area is 1,500,000 square kms larger then last year at this time.
Before you prattle on about how thin this ice might be, it is important to remember that ice extent is more important than thickness as it has a greater effect on albedo.
Another issue which the press has been silent on is the results from the world-class pioneering Argo ocean temperature monitoring system. Initial results show no warming, in fact a slight cooling, of the world's oceans over the last 4 years.
Sustained global warming can not occur unless there is a sustained warming of the world's oceans. Four years is a short time period but the Argo results are worthy of serious attention and their data will grow in importance as the years go by.
As our knowledge of the environment increases, debate over these issues will continue, in spite of a sustained effort to suppress debate and demonize skeptics.
Provide your sources Paul S.

Just to take one of your statements:
…Before you prattle on about how thin this ice might be, it is important to remember that ice extent is more important than thickness as it has a greater effect on albedo…
Thin ice melts faster than thick ice; so when all this thin ice melts quickly, the albedo will quickly be much darker and will absorb much more sunlight.

Incorrect VJ. Melting of ice
Incorrect VJ. Melting of ice is dependent on temperature; thickness of the ice does not affect the speed at which it melts.
I think you'll find, Paul S,
I think you'll find, Paul S, that where the ice is thin it disappears more rapidly – just watch the spring melt. If you put two sheets of ice of the same surface area, one twice as deep as the other, out to melt in the sun, you'll find the thin one will be gone first. The ice might be melting at the same rate, but the thick one will take longer. Result: more open water to feed the feedback loop.

Your first point; I was responding to your silly argument that it was more important that the ice covered a large area than how thick it is. You are wrong. A thin piece of ice will melt completely sooner than a thick piece of ice will.
Your second point is dumb. We are talking about ice on water melting so that the water underneath is darker and absorbs more sunlight when the ice floating on it has melted away. How much water the ice adds to the water already there is irrelevent.

VJ, you missed my point
VJ, you missed my point completely, it is the extent of the ice cover, and not its thickness that has the most effect on albedo. My point remains valid.
Ian Forrester replied on Permalink
You are so stupid
Paul S/G are you so stupid, do you come by it naturally or did you have to work at developing such a stupid way with words.
The most important factor regarding ice cover (or lack of it) is the time that the water is ice free. VJ and Fern have tried to explain to you that thin ice will melt and disappear much faster than thicker ice. Once the ice has disappeared the effect on the albedo will be much greater.
Larger areas of ice in the Arctic winter does not change the earth's albedo since it is in darkness. Thin ice, which melts much faster in the Spring and early summer, has a much greater effect on the albedo.
It is not exactly quantum physics just simple application of elementary physics, how much science have you studied? Maybe you should go and read a high school science text before you make any more stupid statements.

Well, maybe easy for you to label people as such, but I suspect this has been a lifelong character defect with you, and didn't just materialize when the Global Warming fad came along. Perhaps your brittle, vituperative manners would also account for the utter failure of your career as a chemist?

No, Ian, sorry, it wouldn't show that. It would merely demonstrate your overuse of that epithet, along with all the other abusive shrieking which you compulsively employ, for lack of any rational argument.

The fact remains that sea ice extent for the northern hemisphere is 750,000 square kilometers higher this year then last (and only slightly below the 1979-2000 mean).
For the southern hemisphere, sea ice area is 1,500,000 square kilometers above the 1979-2000 mean.
You too repeat the mistake VJ made, saying:
…thin ice will melt and disappear much faster than thicker ice.
Sorry Ian, thin ice does not melt faster. For someone who pretends to spout physics, you should not be making such a simple error.

You can't tell the difference between ice that forms and retreats from one season to the next (thin ice), and ice that remains frozen through the arctic summer (thick ice). Anybody who makes the statement, Thick or thin, that's a lot more ice area is not comprehending the heart of the matter.

Here is what an expert says on melting of sea ice
Here is what scientists at the Arctic Regional Ice Forecasting System group at the Colorado Center for Astrodynamics Research, CCAR have to say:
"The factors triggering the unusually strong July sea-ice decline appear to be a combination of less multi-year ice and more cloud-free days, which accelerated the melting effects of solar radiation on the ice, Drobot said. "Things can really change fast, which is why we continually update our forecasts," he said. The sea ice research by the CCAR group is funded by the National Science Foundation and NASA. "We have been seeing a sharp decline in thicker, multi-year ice that has survived more than one melt season," said CCAR scientist James Maslanik. "This has been replaced in many areas by a thin, first-year layer of ice as well as by younger, thinner types of multi-year ice. The thinner ice just does not have the mass to withstand the effects of warming climate," Maslanik explained. The CCAR researchers used satellite data from the U.S. Department of Defense and temperature records from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for the forecasts, which they have been producing for five years."
But don't take their word for it Paul, I know that you are an expert on everything. Why don't you write them and tell them of your "theories", I'm sure they will listen and offer you a prestigious position at their institution. After all, they will need some one to scrape the ice of their sidewalks and your expertise would be very welcome in that area. It would be an easy job for you since you would only scrape away the thin ice, knowing that the thick ice will melt much faster on its own and will not need to be scraped.
Ian Forrester
Thank you, Ian . . .
… and may it be the last word on the subject!
Fern Mackenzie
No, Paul
No matter how extensive the winter ice cover might be, if it is thin, it will disappear more quickly than old, thick ice – and the open sea thus exposed will absorb heat. Each year the effect will be more pronounced. It doesn't matter how extensive the sea ice is over the winter if it can't survive the summer to reflect light and fend off the warming of the Arctic Ocean.
I'm sorry, Paul. I didn't realize before how limited your abilities are to process and understand these things. You'll just have to accept that there are some things you will never be able to comprehend. It's like a sparrow trying to understand how a cellphone works. Don't fret. We all have our limits.

You're simply changing the goalposts Fern. The fact is, you don't know how the ice will behave this summer.
You say:
Each year the effect will be more pronounced.
Yeah right. That would explain the behaviour of sea ice cover in the southern hemisphere.
It is fact that the sea ice area in the southern hemisphere is nearly 2,000,000 square kms higher now then a year ago.
Unfortunately, you are so addicted to doom and gloom warming that you are incapable of even acknowledging the massive increase in ice cover in the southern hemisphere (and the dramatic recovery in ice cover in the nothern hemisphere).
My advice to you Fern: don't take apart your cellphone.

Do you believe that northern hemisphere sea ice area will drop as low this year as it did last year Fern?
It wouldn't surprise me
But I am not a scientist, and have no idea what variables might affect the sea ice this year. It's like the spike in temperatures in 1998, that all the deniers point at and say "See? Warming has stopped." If the sea ice doesn't withdraw to last year's extreme, there will be a big "I told you so." I am willing to state with some certainty that whatever happens will be consistent with the long-term warming trend.
Fern Mackenzie

"Melting of ice is dependent
"Melting of ice is dependent on temperature; thickness of the ice does not affect the speed at which it melts."
It's more complicated than that, Paul. Thin, first year sea ice is saltier than multi-year ice, so it melts at a lower temperature. It is also not as strong as thick multi-year ice, so it is more easily broken up by wind and wave action. Once broken up, more surface area is exposed to heating. And, as Fern wrote, thin ice has less volume than thick ice and thus less mass, so any given surface area of thin first year ice does indeed take less time to melt than an equivalent surface area of multi year ice.

The ARGO results are full of errors
Paul S/G, if you had done some reading on the results coming from the ARGO "divers" you would see that there are at least two important errors (probably more) in how they operate and transmit data. One seems to have been recognized and fixed and the new data does not support the "cooling" hypothesis that you are promoting.
You deniers (and I will continue to use the word for people like you) latch onto anything however spurious that supports your denier status without checking out if it is in fact true or not (a true skeptic would actually do some research and find the problems). Ignoring possible problems is the same as denying the results.

LOL Ian. Data is not a hypothesis, even you know that. It is data. And the newest, most comprehensive data from the Argo system shows (a slight) ocean cooling over the last 4 years.
Secondly, I noticed your claim of errors is unsourced.
Thirdly, you appear to argue the new Argo data is "spurious" but this claim of yours is unsupported also.
The Argo data will gain importance and relevance as the years go on. These new results remain most interesting.
Ian Forrester replied on Permalink
Data can be good bad or indiifferent
I have already discussed the errors with the ARGO system on another thread. You can also Google for more information.
The data errors are well known and have been accepted by the operators and manufacturers and they are trying to solve them. Some have been solved, others I'm not sure about.

Here is what I have said previously about ARGO
My post on the ARGO errors was on Deltoid not here, my mistake. Here is part of what I had to say on that other blog:
'Here is a quote from the ARGO website: "it has just been learned that Argo profiles from SOLO floats with FSI CTD (Argo Program WHOI) may have incorrect pressure values. Profile data may be offset upward by one or more pressure levels, resulting in a significant cold bias for these instruments".
Mmmm could that be where the "heat is hiding"?
Here is another error which was found, it too had a cooling bias: "While studying the pressure offset errors, a related problem was discovered in a group of WHOI/SBE profiles. Reported pressures from these instruments corresponded to the bottom pressure of bins rather than to the mid-bin pressure. This ½ bin pressure offset error is generally less than for the profiles noted in (1) above".

Probably not Ian. There were errors in two subsets of floats. One subset was immediately corrected and scientists have been aware of, and examining the second subset since at least October of last year.
The latest ARGO data came out in the last month so any scientist working with the data would certainly been aware of the warnings from last year.
Unfortunately, there does not seem to be much public information available yet about this newest ARGO data, but if the data is accurate, it is of great interest, though extreme warmers will be the first to ignore it.

Paul S/G you are the biggest liar on this site. Everything you say is based on fairy tales which seem to be the only things that are active in your (supposed) brain.
Here is a quote on the latest information on the ARGO data:
"Most of the rapid cooling reported by Lyman et al. (2006) is demonstrated to be the result of the combination of this cold bias in the spurious Argo data and the transition from an ocean observing system dominated by warm-biased XBT data to one dominated by Argo data.
Furthermore, these systematic errors are shown to be significantly larger than estimated sampling errors in OHCA. It is also shown that sampling changes from the Argo array in the Southern Ocean are unlikely to have made a significant contribution to the spurious cooling."

With biased profiles discarded, no significant warming or cooling is observed in upper-ocean heat content between 2004 and 2006.
Josh Willis is one of the authors of this report, and he has confirmed there has been a slight cooling of the world's oceans.

Anyone who reads the report I referred to will be able to draw their own conclusions.

The earth is not cooling and your efforts to try and say otherwise just show how ignorant of the true facts you are. In fact what you are doing is even worse since you claim to have read the report and are now lying about what the authors are saying. Just look at Figure 2 to see what I mean.

Also: Leadership
Initiative means seeing something that needs to be done and starting it. It means taking the first step rather than waiting for someone else or a "better time."
In order to take initiative we have to push past our inertia and insecurities. This requires an attitude of flexible responsibility, a willingness to step in to fill a gaps. It also requires a basic trust in our own judgment and abilities.
Often times when one person shows initiative -- to open a dialogue, for example, or to solve a problem or to launch a creative project--other people join in. Initiative is a core part of leadership.

Implementation and Support Unit (ISU)
|You are here: ISU Home > RTT Technical Assistance > SEA Capacity Building
The purpose of the Race to the Top (RTT) SEA Capacity Building Work Stream is to strengthen the organizational capacity of SEAs by supporting their ability to implement and sustain their proposed Race to the Top reforms over time [PDF, 579KB] .
To accomplish its purpose, the SEA Capacity Building work stream seeks to support SEAs in:
- Sharpening and defining their roles as they balance compliance and support;
- Building system capacity and alignment, specifically in the SEA and local educational agency (LEA) relationship, ensuring that resources such as finances, data stems and personnel support reform goals; and
- Delivering on their reform goals over time, ensuring that priorities such as equitable distribution of teachers, development and/or choice of high quality instructional materials and closing of the student achievement gap are realized.
The SEA Capacity Building work stream pursues its work through three interconnected topics:
- Performance Management
- Expanded System Capacity
- Sustainability
SEA Capacity Building Working Groups
New York & Ohio Regional Delivery Structures
The State Education Agency (SEA) Capacity Building work stream has been assisting New York and Ohio in reviewing and refining their regional delivery structures to better support implementation and monitoring of Race to the Top initiatives.
The New York Team has been focused on developing metrics, rubrics, survey instruments and delivery chains to evaluate how implementation is being rolled out, received and utilized as information and resources move between State, region, District and School levels. In Ohio, the RSN conducted a review and analysis of the State's Race to the Top regional delivery structure and offered recommendations for building on a strong foundation and using data more strategically to guide State and regional supports to Districts and Schools.
New York and Ohio have also participated in joint calls to compare their regional delivery initiatives and Ohio attended the November Network Team Institute training in Albany, meeting with NY Race to the Top leaders and observing sessions devoted to curriculum modules being developed in New York. As this working group concludes in the spring, the RSN will publish multiple materials and host a webinar to share tools and processes that these states have found to be effective in leveraging regional delivery systems to support Race to the Top initiatives.

I don't see myself as one, but if I do nothing in the face of what I see as monstrous inhumanity, then what am I?I can live with losing the "Good Fight", but I don't think I could live with not fighting it.
I submit that this photo and post have crossed the line into the political realm. I call on the Mods to issue warnings to the effect....oh wait, sorry George . Do Mods Moderate themselves?
Fr. Amde,This event with the Chinese woman occurred nine months after 9/11. Four months earlier the parish itself had been completely burned down by arsonists. According to the ATF, the arsonists had started the fire by pouring gasoline around the altar table. The ATF judged it to be a hate crime because most of the parishioners were immigrants from the middle east and derogatory remarks about Arabs had been spray painted on the hall. It was devastating for many of the immigrants because of the horrors they had gone through when they lost their land in Israel. They came to United States where they thought they would be safe. But even here, they discovered, there were people who hated them. Fortunately, the church communities around the parish rallied around them in support (both financial and emotional).
Hi Tamara...I was just being a little facetious when I said "maybe she was with them". The experience we had was strikingly similar in blatantness.I am sorry for what happened to the Palestinian visitors. America is breeding ground for all kinds of racism. People even bring their own brand to the "table".For example....I have had Arabs who have only been in the US for a very short time speak to me and treat me (and other blacks) with cruel racial discrimination. An Arab owned store was boycotted in a NYC by the local community due to the fact that the store was selling pork, drug paraphanalia and unacceptable magazines. The Arab owners assumed that the people in the nieghborhood wanted these things. This was wrong. The local community was very well organized and working class and black. Also there was large very strick muslim population which was well resepcted by all the people in the area. The Muslims was shocked that muslims would expect to sell this kind of stuff to anyone not to mention other muslims and persude the matter with the Arab store owners.They apologized. But it was too late. no body wanted to even walk by the place not to mention go in to buy. The store closed.I am not making "light" of the matter about the Palestians; but to show how riggid people can be towards other people while they are thought of and treated like no class citizens as well. Arabs treated me cruely for no reason because I am black. And whites treat the Arabs just like they treated me because they are not white. Its a viscious cycle. Whites say horrible things about Arabs to me. They feel comfortable that I will agree with them. I always say to them not to include me in such discourse. And not to assume that I feel the way you do about Arabs. Just because I am (or we are) treated poorly by certain people does not mean that the people who treat me (us) poorly also deserves the same treatment. That is not a civilized mindset and is un-Christ like.I am very sorry about the situation with the Palestinian family. These people suffer more than we are allowed to know.God bless them.God help us all.
Topic temporarily locked for Moderation Review.Additional comments by the moderatorI have reached the conclusion that the OP here was addressing self-introspection as a Christian and what it means to live in a Christ-like manner keeping His first two greatest commandments when confronted with another's and fighting one's own racial biases. As such this tread has merit.

[W]ary of public disapproval and challenges from groups like the Institute for Justice, the law firm that represented the holdouts in court, the state and the city have halted plans to evict the remaining residents. Investors are concerned about building on land that some people consider a symbol of property rights. At the same time, contract disputes and financial uncertainty have delayed construction even in areas that have been cleared.A nice lesson in what we at the Wisconsin Law School love to call "law in action."
With so many complications, some people are unsure whether the city's initial vision for the property - a mix of housing, hotel and office space intended to transform part of its riverfront and bolster a declining tax base - is even realistic anymore.
Can you think of some other examples, in law or elsewhere, where the loser, losing conspicuously, took on some golden glow that served his interests better than winning?
And I love the line: "Investors are concerned about building on land that some people consider a symbol of property rights." Sounds like in the movies when something is built over an old Indian burial ground.

Two-way traffic will begin flowing on the new N.C. Highway 150 bridge over I-85 in Davidson County, starting Monday.
Two-way traffic will begin flowing on the new N.C. Highway 150 bridge over I-85 in Davidson County, starting Monday.
At 5 p.m., the N.C. Department of Transportation will open the eastbound lane for the first time since crews closed the old bridge for demolition in October 2010.
The westbound lane of the new bridge is open to traffic. The exit ramp from I-85 North to N.C. 150 will also remain open, but no additional ramps will open at this time.
This traffic pattern change will allow NCDOT to permanently close the Clark Road bridge over I-85 at 8 p.m. Monday. Because the Clark Road bridge has served as the only eastbound access route over the interstate in the immediate area since N.C. 150 closed, the department had to wait until the new N.C. 150 bridge opened to eastbound traffic before closing the Clark Road bridge.
NCDOT plans to demolish the Clark Road bridge this spring, so crews can complete widening work, which will expand I-85 to four lanes in each direction. Until then, contractor Balfour Beatty/Austin Bridge & Road, a Joint Venture will use the bridge to help haul construction materials into the work zone.
Crews are building a temporary ramp from the Clark Road bridge into the I-85 median, so trucks can transport materials such as gravel and asphalt into the median without crossing active traffic lanes. This innovative approach will improve motorist safety by reducing the number of large trucks on the interstate. The temporary ramp is expected to be complete in about two weeks.

LONDON (Reuters Life!) - Britain's Catholics have been urged to make more effort to follow religious custom and abstain from eating meat on Fridays, potentially boosting sales of fish.
Church law has required Catholics over the centuries to comply with this abstinence as part of Friday penance, the day set aside for special prayer and fasting to mark the day Jesus died.
Traditionally Catholics have opted to eat fish instead, though a combination of new church guidance and changing eating habits has eroded this habit.
Now the Bishops' Conference of England and Wales wants to re-establish the practice of Friday penance and its abstinence from eating meat as a symbol of a simple shared act of self-denial.
"I think Catholics will welcome this," the head of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales, the Archbishop of Westminster, Vincent Nichols, told reporters.
"What we have sought to do in this decision is to establish a shared practice, a shared habit, because habits that are carried out together are better learned and are stronger — we give each other mutual support.
"So that's why there's a simple, across-the-board expectation that this will be something that Catholics will do."
In 1984, the church broadened its list of things Catholics could do to mark Friday penance in an attempt to attract more people to take part, but it only seemed to dilute adherence to the non-meat rule.
The Church hopes the practice will be resumed from September 16 to mark the first anniversary of Pope Benedict's visit to England and Scotland.

After a three-day and $180 investment, he made an air compressor that can go anywhere in the field for pivot repairs. Schmidt owns the Ah-ha Ranch and says he's semi-retired—he rents his farmland and works as a farm manager. "With a PTO shaft from a junked feed wagon, a used air compressor and scrap iron, I made an air compressor that attaches to any tractor's three-point hitch. I specifically use the air compressor to fill tires on center pivots. In building my mobile compressor, I sized two pulleys to power the compressor and also included a relief valve. There is a V-shaped panel that fits over the PTO shaft for safety." Preventive Measure To keep planter wires and connections from breaking, I mounted a wire holder to the rear of the tractor. I cut off a 1" section of 4"-diameter pipe and wrapped it with a piece of hose so it wouldn't rub against the wires. Then I bolted it to a 16" piece of tubing, which is connected to the tractor. Joseph Glanzer Doland, S.D. Lefty Loosey, Righty Tighty During harvest, I keep the combine moving and my wife unloads wagons. It's a challenge for her to open and close the stubborn wagon doors, so to make it easier I increased the leverage of the lift wheel. I cut a piece of pipe so it extends 6" past the standard wheel on each side and attached it with self-tapping screws. Finally, I used a grinder to round off the ends of the pipe so there aren't any sharp edges. Jim Hobart Emmetsburg, Iowa Submit your $100 idea! Back to news

Death wears a vintage Pucci kaftan as our stylish, shadowy and dangerous agent comes face to face with modern piracy in a bid to stay one step ahead of some of the world's most dangerous men.
She was not an action woman: she could not run very fast; she favoured ballet slippers over combat boots, never swore and still suffered from nightmares; she did not enjoy confrontation of any kind. She was reluctant to face risk, and it was a quality that made her very good at her job. Her art lay in her ability to pass unnoticed, to slip in and out of the cracks of life, to be quietly invisible.
Aboard a luxury yacht as the minder of the world's greatest-and most temperamental-opera star, Stevie Duveen manages to thwart a pirate attack off the coast of Somalia, but soon realises the attack is merely one salvo in a ruthless campaign of terror. Other vessels are being hijacked, and ransoms in the multimillions are being demanded as shipping lines and insurance companies run scared.
On the orders of her adored boss and mentor David Rice, Stevie flies to Sardinia's idyllic Costa Smeralda to recuperate from her injuries. Soon, however, a favour for Rice sees her plunge back undercover: a threat assessment on the young son of Vaughan and Clemence Krok. At first the job seems simple enough, WC only Krok happens to run the world's most powerful army of mercenaries . . .
Posing as just another jet-setting party girl on the lookout for a wealthy husband, Stevie cruises aboard the Kroks' mega-yacht, Hercules, surrounded by arms dealers, aristocrats and billionaires. The action swings from the sun-kissed marinas of the Mediterranean to diva season in Venice, through the oilfields of Azerbaijan and on to the billionaires' playgrounds of Spain, but Stevie soon uncovers more questions than answers: is the Kroks' son really in danger? What secret deal is Krok brokering? How is he connected to the pirate scourge? And why is someone trying to kill her?
At her discreet and dangerous best, Stevie must fight to save everything she holds dear as she finds herself at the heart of a deadly double game.

Recently, I went to a presentation by Dr. Stacy Sims, a post-doctoral research fellow and exercise physiologist at Stanford University. Dr. Sims was part of an exciting project with Dr. Allen Lim, chief physiologist for Garmin-Slipstream. Their goal was to help the team optimally prepare for the Tour De France, and to create effective thermoregulation and hydration fueling strategies for the race.
Their project focused on a few critical components, namely a pre-race preparation/acclimation phase, the daily nutrition and recovery of the athletes, and the pre-, during and post-event hydration needs. Through the course of the presentation Dr Sims touched on some rather interesting approaches and outcomes.
Hydration and Thermoregulation
First some background on water, hydration and thermoregulation. The human body is 55 to 65 percent water. Water is an essential aid in biochemical and metabolic reactions, it cools the body and helps maintain the acid base balance.
Hydration is the equilibration of total body water (TBW) carried in the intracellular (66 percent of TBW) and extracellular (33 percent of TBW) spaces. Dehydration, medically speaking, is when the body contains insufficient water volume to maintain normal body function.
One of the foundational responsibilities of water is thermoregulation. Thermoregulation is "the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain boundaries, even when the surrounding temperature is very different."
For you and I, that means maintaining homeostasis between 37--40C (92-100F). Thermoregulation is vital to the maintenance of exercise intensity. Find yourself much on either side of that range and you are in for some trouble.
The Problem(s)
Dehydration's role in thermoregulation and performance is broad and complex. It has been shown that a state of dehydration of as little as 1 percent leads to decreased aerobic endurance. At 3 percent there is a decrease in muscular endurance, while at 4 percent there is decreased muscle strength, fine motor skill and heat cramps. In addition, the maintenance of blood volume is essential for maintaining stroke volume and plasma volume.
Different athletes have different sweat rates, but most will sweat at between 1.5 to 3.0 liters per hour. That means a 150 pound cyclist can reach 3 percent dehydration in as little as 45 to 60 minutes with no fluid intake (1 Liter = 1 Kilogram = 2.2 pounds).
Unfortunately, gastric emptying is typically in the range of 0.8 to 1.3 liters per hour, so you are on the defensive immediately. The more so if you start your race or training session hypohydrated (0.5 to 1 percent dehydrated) as most of us do by some estimates. You simply can't drink enough fluid to offset the loss from sweating.
All of this sweating leads to thirst. There are two kinds of thirst. Hypovolemic thirst is the result of sweating, respiration and/or bleeding. It is a decrease in the extracellular fluid and blood volume. Osmotic thirst is the result of a decrease in the intracellular fluid (e.g. too many solutes). Both depletions must be addressed prior to the onset of thirst.
While there are many products on the market that purport to help with your hydration and electrolyte balance, the truth is that most of them also contain a significant carbohydrate (CHO) load in order to also be seen as a viable fuel source (yet not quite enough to actually be a viable fuel source) and to be palatable.
There are a couple of downsides to this. First, the CHO actually serves to increase core temperature (gotta process that food!). Secondly, it impedes gastric emptying. Often these sports drinks contain too little sodium to effectively replace sweat salt losses, as well. Sodium loss through sweating ranges between 0.8 to 4.0g/hr.
The Solution
Dr Sims came up with a comprehensive set of solutions to the problems presented above. First, the team undertook a preparation/acclimation phase that included 30-minute bouts in the sauna at 100 degrees immediately after their regular training rides. This was to both increase tolerance of warm temperatures and to systematically dehydrate the athletes to create a natural increase in red blood cell (RBC) volume; a natural ergogenic aid.

- Words by Mr Mansel Fletcher, Features Editor, MR PORTER
Messrs Philip Thomas and Christian Quinlan, two London furniture dealers, have founded The Cabinet Rooms, a new auction house with a physical and virtual presence. Their aim is to create a modern auction event that will simultaneously revitalise the dusty world of salerooms and breathe some life and style into the furniture market.
The main attraction of their approach is that prices are set to start rather lower than might be expected, because The Cabinet Rooms has no permanent premises and lower overheads as a result. Thanks to this nomadic nature, sales will be held in a variety of interesting spaces around London, the first of which is a former postal sorting office in Notting Hill, as well as running online.
I was inspired by an auction I went to in Copenhagen about 20 years ago. It was totally unlike a traditional British auction house
Other innovations that are intended to bring the auction experience up to date include a café designed by renowned reclamation and design company Retrouvius and operated by Prufrock, one of London's best-regarded coffee shops; flowers by the famous florists, wild at heart; cocktails by artisanal spirit brand Sipsmith; and a bookshop run by Mr Don Kelly, a dealer in art reference books. "I was inspired by an auction I went to in Copenhagen about 20 years ago," explains Mr Thomas. "It was in Christiania, and there was a great Scandinavian buffet, space for people to sit and talk and a pop-up design bookstore. It was full of families and there was a relaxed atmosphere. It was totally unlike a traditional British auction house."
In recent years the furniture market has, according to Mr Thomas, become increasingly reliant on impersonal online sales, which is something that he, as an ex-shopkeeper, regrets. His intention is to re-inject the process of buying furniture with a sense of fun, community and openness. Although, as part of being open, the auction will be run online as well as in the hall, in order to reach the largest possible audience.
An auction is only as good as the items offered, and the catalogue for The Cabinet Rooms' first sale is impressively varied. The pieces range from a 1981 floor lamp by Mr Ettore Sottsass to a high-back chair in mahogany that was designed by Mr Harry Napper in the Arts and Crafts style in 1905. There are exuberant pieces by the celebrated Danish designers Mr Hans Wegner, whose unique-looking Flag Halyard chair is offered, and Mr Verner Panton, whose extraordinary Sitting Wheel also appears. The latter has an impeccable provenance: it was owned by the hairdresser Mr Vidal Sassoon.
Mr Wegner's Flag Halyard chair
The clean lines of American modernism are represented by a 1952 example of Mr Charles and Ms Ray Eames' famous LCM chair, while the more expressive Italian school of mid-century design is also present in the form of a pair of chairs designed by Mr Marco Zanuso in the early 1950s. More contemporary pieces include a 3m-wide sofa by architect Ms Amanda Levete, and an Embryo chair by Mr Marc Newson.
The Cabinet Rooms promise to be useful whether a man's in the market for a rare icon of 20th-century design, something comfortable to sit on while he watches television, or merely a well-made cup of coffee and the opportunity to browse for a good book.
Auction starts at 7pm on Tuesday 9 July, The Sorting Office, London. thecabinetrooms.com

Love is all a matter of timing. It's no good meeting the right person too soon or too late. If I'd lived in another time or place, my story might have had a very different ending.Wong Kar-wai's In the Mood for Love was a beautifully filmed, admirably restrained study of two people left behind when their spouses have an affair, two people who discover a possible, and powerful, love between themselves, and deliberately turn away from it. The simple narrative and the care with which it unfolded were impressive, but also difficult to embrace emotionally, because the photography and the soundtrack provided more actual passion than the performances, which was a central part of the tragedy, of course -- two people who should have loved each other, but were unable to do so, stuck in a world of gorgeous colors and lush, romantic music playing over the ubiquitous radios.
--Mr. Chow
2046 is a sequel to In the Mood for Love, though it stands alone just fine, because it picks up with the life of Mr. Chow three years after he asked Mrs. Chan to leave with him for Singapore, and she did not -- it is, essentially, the story of his new life, his life after love.
Where In the Mood for Love was restrained, 2046 is less so -- it is a longer, more baroque movie, one with many more characters and settings and stories. One of the most noticeable differences is the presence of sex: In the Mood for Love was about its characters' refusal to indulge in sex, because they thought they would then be better than their philandering spouses, despite all the gossip that rises up around them anyway. The touch of a hand became a powerful gesture. 2046 has numerous sex scenes, and Mr. Chow has become a king of one-night stands. He has also become cold and cruel; much as we want to like him, particularly if we remember the kind and gentle man he was in the first film, our sympathies are directed more toward the women in the film, the women he lets love him, then walks away from, as if pathologically determined to repeat the loss he suffered, but this time to reserve for himself the role of the lover who refuses, the one who makes the decision, the one in control. Again and again characters in 2046 ask, "Will you leave with me?" Again and again, the answer is the same.
The title of 2046 comes from a few things. It is the number of the hotel room where, in In the Mood for Love, Mr. Chow and Mrs. Chun would meet to work on the martial-arts novel they were writing. It is the number of another hotel room in 2046, one that has multiple women who live in it, all of them doomed. It is the title of a novel Mr. Chow writes about a future world where people go to a "room number 2046" in search of lost memories, a room where, it is said, nothing ever changes. It is also one year before Hong Kong loses the guarantee of the Basic Law.
Everything about 2046 is remarkable, but I was particularly impressed by Ziyi Zhang's performance -- every moment she has on screen is masterful, every glance and gesture, so often simple and small and still, yet conveying an immense range of emotion and experience. Tony Leung's performance as Mr. Chow is just as good as his earlier performance in In the Mood for Love, but he is in many ways even more of a blank than he was before -- so hollowed out that we know him more through the empty hole he represents in comparison to the richness of the other characterizations than through any action of his own.
Another film would try to answer more questions, would try to show more of what had happened in the years between the two films to turn Mr. Chow into the person he becomes in 2046, but Wong is a director who respects the intelligence of his audience. We get it. We feel it. We know what's going on, even if, much of the time, we don't know exactly why. By the end, any why's left hanging in the air are not important; any attentive viewer will have pieced together the important moments. The colors tell us, the scenes that echo scenes from the earlier film, the music, the repetitions, all of which create a sensual environment where the audience can feel its way toward understanding.
Some reviewers have complained that 2046 is a lesser movie than In the Mood for Love because it is messier, bigger, more confusing, more ragged. To me it's the difference between the spareness of Racine's plays against the sprawl of Shakespeare's, not a matter of one being better than the other, but of two different approaches toward representing the world. The films work beautifully together, but just as I'll take Shakespeare over Racine any day, I enjoyed the openness of 2046 even more than I enjoyed the austere structure of In the Mood for Love. I'm glad we have both, but 2046 is the one I expect I will watch again and again.

In my years of Karate training, here are some things I have observed that really upset some instructors:
- A student who leaves and teaches without permission.
- A student who leaves and teaches without permission and takes students with him.
- Another instructor who "steals" students.
- A student who goes over his instructor's head (contacts a more senior instructor without permission).
- A student who studies with another instructor on the side without permission.
- Bad calls in tournaments.
- A student who changes kata and techniques without permission.
- A student who accepts rank or title from someone else or another organization (without permission).
- A student who calls his Sensei by his first name (even once).
- A student who shows any disrespect (even once).
- Another instructor who shows disrespect, even if obliquely.
- Talking behind the instructor's back.
- Fiscal malfeasance (basically stealing).
- Personal malfeasance.
Many of the things on the list could be avoided by properly training students in courtesy, and by making expectations in the dojo very clear. Students can avoid most problems by simply asking permission first.
Also, Sensei should not be petty people. We teach to preserve and perpetuate the art -- not to create kingdoms.
One of the reasons I put my second son in charge of our dojo when I was only 49, was to break the usual cycle. If I have to be in charge to be a good Sensei, then the system is possibly flawed. My goal is to produce some fine instructors so that they can carry on the art. You have to let people teach in order for them to get good at it.
Many of the things on the list have to do with control in the dojo. I recall a saying that a Buddha has no fist, meaning that he is very open. We should try to lift up our students, not push them down. Control is important, but so is generosity.
Also, it is important to keep in mind that students do not only upset instructors -- instructors can do things to upset students too. The relationship is a two way street. There are good students and good instructors. There are also bad students and bad instructors.
A bad instructor is like a bad doctor. You should get a better one -- after all, it's your health! Actually, you should not get a better one, you should get the best one!
As a student, you should do your best to find a good instructor, to be a good student, and eventually to become a good instructor yourself.
