4 continuity errors
- Minato as a Hokage before the 3rd Shinobi World War
- Kakashi graduating with Obito and Rin
- Tobi being Obito
--Elveonora (talk) 14:59, August 29, 2012 (UTC)
really i could only find 1 continuity error with this chapter. firstly minato couldv'e simply been a jonin, secondly did you not see hiruzen standing next to him in his hokage garbs. also i think this chapter made it obvious tobi is obito (as much as i wish it wasn't) did you see his face at the end it looked like a grown up obito.22.214.171.124 (talk) 15:16, August 29, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan
I'm talking about the monument head, databook states Kakashi as a 6 years old chunin etc.--Elveonora (talk) 15:18, August 29, 2012 (UTC)
- The databook conflicts with much of the information gleaned and inferred from this chapter.Burra101 (talk) 00:25, September 2, 2012 (UTC)
The big significant errors i can see in this chapter are like you stated earlier , the hokage monument has Minato face on it but he is actually a jonin next to 3rd Hokage .. Kakashi, Obito and RIn age .. even though only Kakashi look older then the two others ....sadly i don't like to say it/admit it but when it come to obito being tobi , i don't have any doubt about it .. , but we will see in the next coming weeks .. --Tchad1 (talk) 15:28, August 29, 2012 (UTC)
- ?? I guess the databook gave wrong info. And yeah something is not right. ~IndxcvNovelist (talk | contribs | PR | RLS) 15:32, August 29, 2012 (UTC)
- I hope the tankobon version of this chapter will fix the Hokage's monument mistake since Minato didn't wear his Hokage uniform on that time as well as the other mistakes that you mentioned. It's so confusing indeed —Shakhmoot (Talk) 15:39, August 29, 2012 (UTC)
Databook > manga ??? --Elveonora (talk) 15:43, August 29, 2012 (UTC)
Usually Databook > manga but today its Manga > Databook ... lol --Tchad1 (talk) 15:51, August 29, 2012 (UTC)
what's going to happen with the Tobi and Obito Uchiha articles then. Are they going to merge into one or leave it as is until further info is released? 126.96.36.199 (talk) 17:48, August 29, 2012 (UTC)
- I just see kakashi giving obito his graduation papers, I don't recall any rules were chunin couldn't help their genin teammates pass. — SimAnt 18:17, August 29, 2012 (UTC)
So why Kakashi (a Chunin/Jounin) is fighting against Guy (a Genin) in Chunin exams? no logic--Elveonora (talk) 18:19, August 29, 2012 (UTC)
Well after almost 600 chapters the list of retcons has gotten large, but...
- Minato as a Hokage before the 3rd Shinobi World War I had noticed that actually. But it's a symbolic panel. You could say that Obito is imagining himself as the 5th Hokage; and he's anticipating that Minato will be the 4th Hokage. Which is plausible.
- Kakashi graduating with Obito and Rin Actually, they are entering the academy at the same time, which is plausible. It would make it impossible that they all entered the same chunin exam, though, as Rin and Obito graduated at 9 while Kakashi was already chunin at 6. In fact, that whole group left the academy at different ages. So, either they all graduated from the academy the same year and attended the same chunin exams, or they all entered the academy the same year and could not attend the same chunin exams.
- Tobi being Obito You forgot that this is about a very important life lesson: don't use steroids! Instead you should turn yourself into a plant and use fertiliser. :-) ... You know, I remember a time when a hunter-nin had to dispose of a body on site, to preserve the secrets of a ninja's body. It would imply a culture that favoured cremation over burials; a culture that would make sure that a body wasn't left on a battlefield. Oh well, it seems we're left with a medic that didn't make sure that Obito was dead (oops), and a jonin sensei that could have brought Obito's body back to Konoha in a second, yet didn't.
I'm looking forward to see some of this explained.--Joolushko Tunai Fenta Hovalis (talk) 18:55, August 29, 2012 (UTC)
To me it look like that:
Kakashi graduate from genin to chunin when Obito and Rin failed Obito trained to become stronger for the next exam and became also a chunin when Kakashi did become a Jonin.
We both know it take a moment between each exam so it may be possible that during the little time skip that we don't see with the flashback , that there was a couples months , year .--Tchad1 (talk) 19:06, August 29, 2012 (UTC)
http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Anko_Mitarashi#Age_Issues updated, 4 errors!!! Keep them coming Kishi--Elveonora (talk) 23:09, August 29, 2012 (UTC)
Also, Kurenai and Asuma are around the same age as Kakashi, yet he became Chuunin at age 6... and they were there during the Chuunin exam... making them about age 7 at that point. Both became genin at age 9. So they were there two years too early.
Just typing out the main points from the Anko thing:
During the exam where Kakashi graduated to Chuunin, we saw Anko and Hayate fight. Meaning they were 4 and 3 years old (respectively) during those Chuunin exams. Their articles clearly state they didn't graduate to being genin until muuuuch later. And a 3 or 4 year old Genin is surely a stretch even by this manga's standards. Igaram (talk) 00:18, August 30, 2012 (UTC)
thanks man--Elveonora (talk) 00:11, August 30, 2012 (UTC)
another thing, not a continuity error though, the display says: "3rd test" Thought 1st is papers, 2nd training room and the 3rd is in arena...--Elveonora (talk) 00:40, August 30, 2012 (UTC)
- Well, it's possible that the tests change of order every year, or that starting from a certain point in time the exams' order was changed.StarseerSoul (talk) 03:34, August 31, 2012 (UTC)StarseerSoul
Even knowing the issues there have been with how Kishimoto depicted characters' ages in the past, it seems very unlikely that Anko was a genin when she was only 3-4 years old. Worse yet for Hayate, who was even younger than she was and supposedly didn't graduate until age 12. Kakashi becoming chunin at age 6 is definitely an inconsistency. His opponent, Guy, wouldn't have even graduated from the academy until a year later. Kakashi would have be about 10 years old at the time for this chapter to make any sense. Should these age issues be mentioned as a trivia point on Kakashi (and anyone else who conflicts)'s page? And should Kakashi being 5/6 be removed from his background section and his age be made more ambiguous?--BeyondRed (talk) 04:56, August 30, 2012 (UTC)
- Not only that, look at the page where we see Obito entering the academy at the same time as Rin, Kakashi and a slew of others. You can clearly see Hayate in the background. Kakashi entered the academy at age 4. Hayate is 3 years younger than Kakashi. Which means that Hayate entered the academy at age 1! Or it's just Kishimoto being a hack. Either way, confirmed mistakes and/or retcons. FallenAngelII (talk) 19:51, August 31, 2012 (UTC)
Added the other error to trivia as well, feel free to remove it if you disagree or reword it.--Elveonora (talk) 15:02, August 30, 2012 (UTC)
@FallenAngelII and @everyone, please restrain from replying/posting in middle of a discussion, make your edit always the latest because then it's confusing and hard to find in a wall of text, thanks. and Nice edits--Elveonora (talk) 20:35, August 31, 2012 (UTC)
Might be an error on the explaination of Obito bringing Rin Flowers...
From how I see it, Looks like Rin approached Obito soon after he became a Chunin and looks like she asked to meet him somewhere private, away from Kakashi. Obito seemed to misinterpret it as her asking him out on a date. So he get's flowers and heads to the meeting spot expecting his date, but then other classmates started showing up. Rin then hands out the notes to everyone stating since Kakashi is about to become a Jonin and everyone should get him a present in secret. Then Obito gets embarrassed realizing he misunderstood...
That's how Interpreted the scene anyway 220.127.116.11 (talk) 14:34, August 30, 2012 (UTC)
- That's more than plausible, but we don't need to go into that much detail.--Cerez365™(talk) 14:36, August 30, 2012 (UTC)
Yes.--Elveonora (talk) 14:37, August 30, 2012 (UTC)
Question about errors
I have an issue with the continuity errors and what have view in the article. Please don't let it turn into that long thing up there because I get confused easily.
It states that Asuma Sarutobi, Anko Mitarashi, Kurenai Yūhi, Hayate Gekkō and Might Guy, among others should not have been there and what not, mmkay. How do we know this? As in how did you guys arrive at that conclusion? Suppose Asuma is 9 in the image and Anko is 10 etc. Suppose they took the exams multiple times like others? It's just a bit confusing for me because I did a little checking and it kinda makes sense to me.--Cerez365™(talk) 11:07, September 1, 2012 (UTC)
I would agree there, Cerez. It's not like in the Narutoverse if you fail an exam, you can't retake the test. This could be the explanation for it, quite plain and simple. SusanooUnleashed (talk) 12:43, September 1, 2012 (UTC)
- I think I've gotten myself confused again. I used Anko and Asuma as examples and while Asuma is older than Kakashi (there's ± 1 year discrepancy) Anko's presence, though he age works out, here being there is odd.--Cerez365™(talk) 13:17, September 1, 2012 (UTC)
- 29-30/32-33
- 29-30
- 28-29/32
- 27-28/31
- 24/27
- 27-28/31
- 23/26 (theoretical)
- 26-27/29-30
- 26-27/29-30
So since Kakashi was a Chunin at 6, the earliest possible age he could have gone to the Academy is 4, that is 26 years ago. So at page 2 of the latest manga, these were:
- Hayate Gekko wasn't even alive at the time, maybe just recently born... "Obitard emoticon"
Then the exams, Kakashi 6 years old, 24 years ago:
- Anko Mitarashi was at Chunin Exams as 3 years old??? I thought she just graduated from the Academy at 10
- Hayate Gekko appeared there as 2 years old... graduated academy at 12
- Ebisu fought there as 8 years old even thought he has graduated at 10
- Genma Shiranui at 8-9 even thought he became a Genin at 10
- Ibiki Morino as well was there at 7 to fight for Chunin rank, but bothered to finish academy at 10
- Obito and Guy were still at the Academy when they fought at Chunin Exams
- Kurenai as well shouldn't be there
And even if we go by he ridiculous theory that Kakashi had to retake Chunin Exams years later again for his team, then as well many shouldn't be there, don't make me list it :P --Elveonora (talk) 13:52, September 1, 2012 (UTC)
I think I get it, but I fear this seems to be one of those things that I'll have to have someone explain to me orally. Any way, I guess I'll leave this stuff to you guys. I just wanted to make sure the information wasn't mistaken.--Cerez365™(talk) 14:13, September 1, 2012 (UTC)
- That's amazing analysis for explaining the errors and illustrating the conflicting points between the chapter and the databooks, I wonder if the fourth databook will take these mistake on account to correct them or the tankōbon version of this chapter will fix that as well. —Shakhmoot (Talk) 08:59, September 3, 2012 (UTC)
@Shakhomoot, thank you very much.--Elveonora (talk) 19:18, September 3, 2012 (UTC)
In that same chapter, when rin shows the "secret paper" you see Asuma as a chunin(age 12) and Gai as a chunin(age 11) meaning Kakashi was 11 and just became a jonin, and then you see that page ties into the Kakashi gaiden where obito was 13 when he "died" that means Obito and Rin are 2 years 7 months older than Kakashi which means Kakashi was 5 but shy of 6 when he graduated the academy and 6 but shy of 7 when he became a chunin. ItachiWasAHero (talk) 15:59, May 25, 2013 (UTC)
Fourth on the Monument.
Although these flashbacks were of before the 3rd War, wasn't Minato already Hokage? Because with his death in the fight with 9 Tails etc, the Third had to step out of retirement? That may be why the Fourth was carved into the Monument.
(I placed this here as it was removed from a discussion even though it fitted with what was being discussed) SusanooUnleashed (talk) 14:02, September 1, 2012 (UTC)
Just check Kakashi Gaiden, his head isn't on the monument. He was elected Hokage for being a hero of the 3rd Shinobi World War--Elveonora (talk) 14:11, September 1, 2012 (UTC)
- A dialogue box may be obscuring it so we can't really say for sure.Burra101 (talk) 00:11, September 2, 2012 (UTC)
Problem with Obito Uchiha chapter
I have one issue with the Trivia section: Having a look at chapter 239 (first of the Kakashi Gaiden), it's too soon to tell that Minato's face was etched on the Hokage mountain by mistake on chapter 599--the dialog box obscures a possible face on the mountain and it would be a stretch to call this a mistake right now and would create confusion for many people. So I think this must be deleted until we have further information.Burra101 (talk) 23:20, September 1, 2012 (UTC)
The head clearly isn't there, he didn't wear his cloak during the war and wasn't referred to as "Yondaime Hokage" also I also remember a mention somewhere that he was elected Hokage as a hero of the 3rd war, not to mention you can clearly see Hiruzen wearing his Hokage robes, clearly an error--Elveonora (talk) 23:31, September 1, 2012 (UTC)
Then what must be mentioned in the trivia is Minato's face being on the Mountain while Hiruzen was Hokage. The possibility that the dialog box may be obscuring Minato's face still exists, however, and thus atleast this part of the sentence must be removed as it is too soon to tell.Burra101 (talk) 23:42, September 1, 2012 (UTC)
A databook confirms that Minato was Hokage for a very short time.--Elveonora (talk) 23:44, September 1, 2012 (UTC)
- But I don't remember it saying it was DURING the war. Besides that's not my point. I am saying that the trivia mentions how Minato's face was not in the Kakashi Gaiden but since a dialogue box may be obscuring is why that part must be deleted.Burra101 (talk) 00:10, September 2, 2012 (UTC)
He wasn't a Hokage in before the war, so there was nothing to obscure.--Elveonora (talk) 00:15, September 2, 2012 (UTC)
- I know that he wasn't Hokage before the war, I said that as well. What I am pointing out is that his face may have been on the mountain before the war as the current chapter suggests despite not being nominated as Hokage. This is what must be said in the trivia section.Burra101 (talk) 00:19, September 2, 2012 (UTC)
I have another issue: in the summary it said that Obito expressed his desire to become Hokage. The author of this statement has no confirmation. All Obito did was show his face by the other Hokages on the Mountain. It may have been an inside joke with Rin just to make her laugh for all we know. Please change this as well until Kishimoto says otherwise.Burra101 (talk) 00:19, September 2, 2012 (UTC)
That's illogical, why would they make there his head beforehand when it wasn't clear that he was going to become Hokage? It was supposed to be Orochimaru till the last moment, he just slowly turned evil and Minato was a hero so the latter was chosen. For the latter, he clearly wanted to become the first Uchiha Hokage. He points at the crest/emblem and then stands there with his head next to Minato's. It was basically the same as Naruto: "I'm gonna be the best Hokage and will be acknowledged!!!" stuff--Elveonora (talk) 00:30, September 2, 2012 (UTC)
Uhhh.. I'm pretty sure Orochi had defected from Konoha long before Minato was looked at to become the next Hokage.. SusanooUnleashed (talk) 15:27, September 2, 2012 (UTC)
No, that was his "cheap excuse" for the defection, and being caught performing experiments on living subjects. During the time when Kabuto was "recruited" by Danzo, Oro was still a Konoha/ROOT Shinobi.--Elveonora (talk) 17:25, September 2, 2012 (UTC)
from what I understand Orochimaru defected/was kicked out AFTER Minato was named the 4th Hokage because he was angry and jealous that Minato got the position even though Orochimaru had been offered it originally.Lordofninjas1 (talk) 17:47, September 2, 2012 (UTC)
He has stayed quite a while in the village even after Minato's death, was caught experimenting, took Anko and they have defected together--Elveonora (talk) 17:52, September 2, 2012 (UTC)
Is it not possible that Minato was a Hokage-elect, similar to Danzo, and that his face would have been carved into the mountain in anticipation of his full promotion to Hokage? 220.127.116.11 (talk) 00:47, September 3, 2012 (UTC)
- It is, but until such is stated as fact it still deserves a trivia mention. Especially considering the many other inconsistencies this chapter created.--BeyondRed (talk) 01:58, September 3, 2012 (UTC)
The only time in the Naruto series when a head/face was carved into the mountain monument of a person yet-to-be-elected was in an anime filler, as a joke that the guy had to re-work it each time.--Elveonora (talk) 19:20, September 3, 2012 (UTC)
Minato's head on the monument
In WSJ #43, Kishimoto-sensei apologized for adding Minato's head to the monument, stating it was a mistake he made. I guess it'll be fixed in the tankōbon version. Seelentau 愛議 18:35, September 21, 2012 (UTC)
Finally people that know no **** can "be quiet" that it was okay for it to be there, lol--Elveonora (talk) 21:24, September 21, 2012 (UTC)
haven't graduated yet?
Can we make it more clear what it means when they say that in theory all those people anko kurenai, should not have graduated?--126.96.36.199 (talk) 02:36, April 19, 2013 (UTC)
Not old enough to have finished the Academy or even attend it then, yet were seen to partake in Chunin exams--Elveonora (talk) 09:59, April 19, 2013 (UTC)
- It means that the information given in the databook contradicts that of what was given to us in the manga. It's nothing to concern yourself over though, it just means that if you compare the databook information with the timeline, some of them should not have been there presumably.--Cerez365™(talk) 10:54, April 19, 2013 (UTC)
Not only databook information conflicting with manga, but manga with manga, unless Kishi suddenly decided to add them extra wrinkles, then that would be a retcon--Elveonora (talk) 11:30, April 19, 2013 (UTC)

The current licence from Swiss energy company Repower to use the name expires at the end of 2012, confirmed a Repower Systems spokeswoman. She could not say whether an option exists to further extend the licence.
The rebranding of Repower has been put back on a number of occasions. In June 2010, Repower Systems' then-CEO Per Hornung Pedersen said: "The rebranding must take place before the end of 2012."
In 2011, current CEO Andreas Nauen said the rebrand would take place by the end of 2012.
The simple "renaming" of the company means there will be no change of structure, with the German turbine manufacturer remaining separate from its Indian parent Suzlon.
In the past, the strict separation between the two has been important in Repower Systems' success in getting new finance.
The EUR 750 million in finance facilities running for 2.5 years agreed with three German banks in February 2012 were structured "based on a stand-alone view of Repower."
However, the stand-alone renaming also continues to feed speculation that Suzlon could be considering divesting all or part of Repower Systems.

The Death Of Facts In An Age Of 'Truthiness'
It's WEEKENDS on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Guy Raz.
In a few moments, a check in with our correspondent in South Sudan as tension mounts with its northern neighbor. And later, remembering the L.A. riots 20 years ago today.
But first to our cover story today. And it begins with sad news of a death. Rex Huppke, a columnist with the Chicago Tribune, broke that news this past week, and that's when I spoke with him.
Thank you for being with us during this difficult time, Rex.
REX HUPPKE: I appreciate that. Thanks.
RAZ: Tell us about the deceased.
HUPPKE: Well, facts, unfortunately passed away Wednesday, April 18th.
RAZ: Facts, of course, is not a person; facts are things we know to be true. And Rex Huppke says in this day and age, facts are dead.
HUPPKE: The final blow came after Representative Allen West down in Florida declared that about 80 Democratic congresspeople were communists. That was the deathblow for facts.
RAZ: Just a review, if you missed that story. Rex Huppke is talking about some comments Republican Allen West, a congressman from Florida, made recently at an event where he was asked how many members of Congress were card-carrying Marxist or international socialists. And here's what he said.
REPRESENTATIVE ALLEN WEST: I believe there's about 78 to 81 members of the Democratic Party who are members of the Communist Party.
RAZ: Seventy-eight to 81 members of the Democratic Party are members of the Communist Party, he says. Now, what's amazing about that clip is that people in the audience gasped. They audibly gasped because they cannot believe what he has just said is true. And, of course, it's not.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Thank you for calling the Communist Party USA.
RAZ: We called up one of the vice chairs of the Communist Party USA.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: For media inquiries or interviews, please press three.
RAZ: Libero Della Piana. What percentage of the U.S. House of Representatives, of the members there, what percentage of them are card-carrying members of the Communist Party?
LIBERO DELLA PIANA: That would be a zero.
RAZ: Zero.
PIANA: Yeah.
RAZ: Not a single one.
PIANA: No.
RAZ: Do you still - do you distribute cards to your members?
PIANA: Not so much. We have them, but most members don't get a card when they join.
RAZ: So not a fact on two counts. There are no communists in the U.S. House of Representatives, but Allen West said so, and he even stood by those comments.
So anyway, that's what led Rex Huppke to this idea that if someone of any political party can say something so patently untrue and stand by it, which seems to happen more and more often, then facts must be meaningless. Dead. Who is facts survived by?
HUPPKE: Survived by rumor and innuendo, two brothers, and then a sister, emphatic assertion.
RAZ: Well, we're going to explore that idea and find out if facts are dead, what happened, and are they gone forever? We're going to start with someone Rex Huppke spoke to when he was writing his obituary: NYU Professor Mary Poovey. He called her up last week, and he said he was writing an obituary for facts. Well, what did you think?
MARY POOVEY: I thought it was high time. I think facts died a long time ago, and it's taken people quite a while to notice.
RAZ: Now, Mary Poovey should know. She literally wrote the biography on facts. It's called "A History of the Modern Fact."
POOVEY: Facts are very old. The concept of a fact goes back to Aristotle, but it wasn't really until the early 17th century that facts began to be used in the sense that we think of facts, which has to do with observable concrete particulars in the real world. Francis Bacon was important for getting people to think about facts as what you could see and eventually what you could measure or count.
RAZ: In other words, science.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: All rock that is formed by fire is called igneous.
RAZ: Maybe you remember those kinds of facts, but Mary Poovey says that's all they are: memories. And here's how it happened.
POOVEY: I think the first thing that contributed to that was the gradual emergence of mathematical modeling using quantification in mathematics to create a new kind of truth, one that couldn't be observed but could only be modeled.
RAZ: And that's probably why so many people keep asking economists, why couldn't you tell us what was going to happen?
POOVEY: That's right. And, of course, economics was one of the disciplines that used that notion, but it's now used very widely in making statements about climate or making statements about the future of your health care costs and so on. Then I think something else began to happen in the - when the Internet made it possible for people to air opinions and to make those opinions seem as credible as scientific truth claims.
RAZ: I mean, when Francis Bacon was revising and essentially defining our modern understanding of facts, Gutenberg was also revolutionizing print technology. So you would think that facts would be constantly challenged - under challenged.
POOVEY: Well, certainly, facts have always been contested. There's no doubt about that. But there's always been relatively high barriers to getting into print. It was a fairly expensive technology. And that means that print, ironically, carried the power to authenticate facts as much as it carried the power to undermine or contest facts.
RAZ: And so today, with a lot more contested facts floating around, there's a pretty modern job - organizations where all they do: check facts. Please go ahead and introduce yourself, Bill.
BILL ADAIR: Sure. I am Bill Adair. I am the editor of politifact.com.
RAZ: Have you guys thought about changing your name to just Politi?
ADAIR: I think whether the fact has actually died or is just on its deathbed, you know, it's a great time to be in the fact-checking business because there are just so many questions about what's accurate and what's not.
RAZ: In a small office here in Washington, D.C., Bill Adair and some colleagues are on a conference call, answering one of those questions.
ADAIR: Does the speaker prove the claim to be true?
RAZ: Today, they're fact checking a graphic being posted on Facebook. It lists the top five donors to both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney's presidential campaigns.
ADAIR: All right. Any edits?
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: I could have one...
RAZ: It is a long and arduous process. Now, when everyone agrees whether the claim is true or half-true or not at all, they post the result on their website. But the point is even when it's over, the people who run Politifact - these are journalists with stellar reputations, even Pulitzer prizes - even they can't always convince people what is true, what is a fact.
ADAIR: What's funny is sometimes I'll get an email that'll say you guys are so biased, but I won't know who we're supposed to be biased in favor of because we get criticized a lot by both sides. And I think that's just the nature of a very rough and tumble political discourse. We are in a time when there's more political discourse than ever, it's more passionate than ever, we have a more polarized Congress than ever.
And when you hear somebody say your team is wrong, almost like a referee, you're going to argue with the ref. You're going to say the ref is biased.
RAZ: But there's a problem. Increasingly, people don't just say the ref is biased; they say the ref is lying. A political scientist named Brendan Nyhan and a colleague of his, Jason Reifler, conducted an experiment where they had people read a mock news article about President George W. Bush. The article quoted Bush as saying his tax cuts increased government revenue. And then some of the participants were given a second article, this one with a correction. It said the Bush tax cuts actually led to a decline in tax revenue.
Now, those who opposed President Bush were more prone to believing the second article, which happened to be true. Those who supported Mr. Bush? Well, even after reading the second corrected article, many were even more likely to believe the first. And Brendan Nyhan, who carried out the research, calls this phenomenon backfire, and it affects people of all political stripes.
BRENDAN NYHAN: In journalism, in health, in education, we tend to take the attitude that more information is better, and so there's been an assumption that if we put the correct information out there, the facts will prevail. But unfortunately, that's not always true. In some cases, giving people corrective information about a misperception can make the problem worse. It can make them believe in the misperception even more strongly. And this is what we call the backfire effect.
RAZ: Can you describe a period of time, in the political realm, let's say, where everybody agreed on a set of facts but just sort of, you know, had a difference of philosophy?
NYHAN: You know, I don't think there is this golden age of factual agreement. It's certainly true that in the mid-20th century, the political leads in this country were much less polarized than they are now, and so people weren't getting these sharply divergent cues about what the relevant facts were. But people have always believed incorrect things. Human nature hasn't changed. What's changed is the way our society is structured. And that trend towards polarization, I think, has exacerbated this divergence in factual perceptions to the point that, you know, it seems like we've lost something.
RAZ: Let's talk about something that Stephen Colbert has coined - this phrase truthiness. Right? When he launched his show in 2005, he coined this term truthiness.
STEPHEN COLBERT: Truthiness.
RAZ: Which seems to capture all of these things that we're talking about.
COLBERT: Because that's where the truth comes from, ladies and gentlemen, the gut. Do you know you have more nerve endings in your stomach than in your head? Look it up. Now, somebody's going to say I did look that up and it's wrong. Well, mister, that's because you looked it up in a book.
NYHAN: I think one of the things that's great about that is the idea of something feeling true. So in a lot of pieces, what you see are ideological actors, think tanks, pundits and so forth, manufacturing the appearance of verisimilitude, right? So things that appear to be scientific. So if you watch negative ads now, they frequently have documentation at the bottom to make them look authoritative, even though that documentation itself may be misleading.
RAZ: So I guess the question is, where - I mean, where is this all headed? It seems like what you're saying is we are just headed or we are in a factless world.
NYHAN: Well, it's simply too hard to walk back misperceptions once they're out there. To give you one example, the weapons of mass destruction misperception stuck around for years after the U.S. invasion of Iraq. You know, a lot of the action here is at the elite level. If people pay a reputational price for putting these claims out there, maybe there'll be fewer of them in the first place.
That, to me, is a difficult problem but certainly an easier one than trying to change human nature, which is what you're talking about when you try to talk about convincing people, you know, at the mass level to change their mind. It's just too difficult most of the time.
RAZ: Brendan Nyhan. He is a professor at Dartmouth, and he also covers New Hampshire politics for the Columbia Journalism Review. And you're listening to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. And that's a fact.

Which relatives to test?
Once a monogenic cause of diabetes has been identified in one individual then other family members with diabetes should also be offered genetic testing to see if they also have the same genetic change.
These other family members may have previously been told they have 'Type 1', 'Type 2' or 'gestational diabetes'.
It is important not to assume all family members have the same cause of diabetes as it is possible to have different causes of diabetes within the same family. In addition we have a very small number of individuals with a dual diagnosis, for example co-existing Type 1 diabetes and HNF1A MODY, so confirming the correct cause of diabetes by molecular genetic testing is extremely important. The cost of testing other family members is significantly cheaper (up to 10 times cheaper) compared to the cost of finding the specific genetic change in the proband.

UCONN WOMEN: Huskies seeking share of Big East title against rival Notre Dame (video)
From the time the Maya Moore era at UConn ended in the national semifinals 10 months ago, there has been more uncertainty than usual associated with the Huskies.
UConn Hall of Fame coach Geno Auriemma openly wondered what life with the Huskies' all-time leading scorer would be like, especially with a team with so many freshmen and sophomores being asked to play pivotal roles.
Auriemma was not alone as his fellow Big East coaches picked Notre Dame to win the Big East regular-season title ahead of the five-time defending champion Huskies.
Notre Dame has backed up the lofty predictions, having already clinched a share of its first Big East regular-season title since the 2000-01 season. The second-ranked Irish can secure the title outright with a win over No. 4 UConn Monday when the teams square off at the XL Center (9 p.m., ESPN2).
However, UConn has plenty to play for too.
A win would give the Huskies a share of the Big East title and a measure of retribution against the team that not only ended their bid for a third-straight national title back in April, but also rallied to beat the Huskies in January. UConn has not lost three straight to a Big East opponent since Miami achieved the feat in 1992 and 1993.
Considering how young this UConn team is, certainly there is no shame in heading into the regular-season finale with a 26-3 record and a chance to share the conference title, right?
"No, because you are always thinking 'we should win every game or you will be disappointed,'" Auriemma said. "I think as it played out, you didn't know what was going to happen. You knew you had some really difficult games on the road. You knew that potential games like at Villanova, at Notre Dame, at DePaul, at Louisville, potentially those are pretty difficult teams and you never know how they are going to play out. Sitting here at (13)-2 (in the Big East), I think looking back I think that is pretty good."
That being said, a loss tonight would keep the Huskies from their 20th Big East regular-season title, so the stakes are high as the two national-championship contenders meet for sixth time in the last 13 months.
Very few teams have been on equal footing with the Huskies since UConn won its first of seven national titles back in 1995. However, this Notre Dame team has managed to not only deprive the Huskies of championship glory, but has also gotten under the skin of the Connecticut players and coaches.
No other team can be considered a bigger rival at UConn than the Fighting Irish.
"What has happened in our league over the 20-some years I have been here is that the rivalries have changed so much that is has been really hard to have the same one for 27 years," Auriemma said. "When we started with our success in the late 80s and early 90s, late 80s is was us and Providence College and then it was us and Miami, then it was us and Seton Hall, then Notre Dame, then Rutgers, then Louisville, then Notre Dame again so it has been interesting to see the development of that over the 20 something years. In a way that is kind of good because that means our conference has grown tremendously in the last 20 years. For us there is nothing better than having teams in our league who think they can beat you, that come into your home court and think they are going to win. That is kind of what makes rivalries."
While Auriemma may enjoy seeing a team like Notre Dame coming to town bursting with confidence, neither he nor his players enjoy losing games.
With the losses to Notre Dame and St. John's, the best the Huskies can do is earn a share of the Big East crown and the No. 2 seed in the Big East tournament, which will begin on Friday at the XL Center.
"Obviously we wouldn't want to share it because we kind of screwed ourselves on that one, we kind of lost that opportunity but this is by far our last chance," UConn junior forward Kelly Faris said. "We lost a couple others and we still had more of the season to try to fix it. This time, it is still there and still up for grabs, but we have to get it right this time and there is no room for mistakes this time. It is a good feeling to know it is still there, but at the same time there is very little room for mistakes."
? When: Monday, 9 p.m.
? Where: XL Center, Hartford
? Records: UConn 26-3 (13-2 Big East); Notre Dame 27-2 (14-1)
? Radio: WTIC-1080
? Inside muscle: Sophomore Stefanie Dolson and freshman Kiah Stokes combined to play just eight minutes in Saturday's win over Marquette because the UConn coaches were dissatisfied with their performance and opted to play with a five-guard lineup. That will not be a realistic option against Notre Dame, which features likely first-round WNBA draft pick Devereaux Peters and talented sophomore Natalie Achonwa. Dolson has faced Notre Dame five times and in the three wins she is averaging 15.7 points per game while her numbers tumble to 8 points per game in the two losses. She could have her hands full against Peters, who is averaging 14 points, 14 rebounds and 3.4 blocks in her last nine games.
? Strength vs. strength: It will be an intriguing matchup as Notre Dame comes to Hartford leading all Division I teams with an average of 81.4 points per game. The Irish also lead the nation in shooting percentage at 48.4 percent. UConn is the top defensive team in the nation giving up just 45.0 points per game and is also No. 1 in field-goal percentage defense, holding opponents to 30 percent shooting.
? Third time the charm? Notre Dame has a chance to accomplish what no Big East team has done since Miami in 1992 and 1993 as a win today would be the Fighting Irish's third straight against the Huskies. Since Miami burst into the Big East and won its first five games against UConn, Tennessee is the only team to win three straight against UConn, winning regular-season games in 2005, 2006 and 2007.
? Milestone within reach: UConn senior Tiffany Hayes needs four points to pass Ann Strother and take over the 10th place on UConn's career scoring list. Hayes has 1,696 points in 145 games while Strother had 1,699 points in 143 games.

In a fly-blown bar in West Africa, war reporter James Brabazon found himself discussing military plans to overthrow the government of Equatorial Guinea with one of Africa's most notorious mercenaries - his friend Nick du Toit.
The Byzantine plot, its farcical execution and its tragic consequences led to Mark Thatcher, Simon Mann and a host of celebrated guns-for-hire falling victim to their own avaricious plans, Machiavellian scheming and perverse double-crosses.
In a twist of fate, James Brabazon remained free. His mercenary friend wasn't as lucky. Nick du Toit was supposed to serve thirty-four years in Black Beach Prison, Africa's most notorious jail - a sentence which James could have been serving alongside him.
The unlikely friendship began two years earlier on the bloody battlefields of the Liberian civil war. With Nick as his bodyguard, James was the only journalist to film behind rebel lines. Establishing him as a brave and talented filmmaker, the war tested James's physical and moral boundaries to the limit - and opened a door onto a dangerous world of mercenaries, spies and violent regime change.
MY FRIEND THE MERCENARY recounts James's courageous journey into the Liberian war, and tells the inside story of the most infamous coup attempt in recent history. Through this gripping narrative, James Brabazon explodes the myth of the modern mercenary, and paints a moving portrait of an extraordinary friendship. It is a brutally honest book about what it takes to be a journalist, survivor and friend in the morally corrosive crucible of war.

(CNN) - President Obama stunned tourists and others outside of the White House as he decided to take a stroll to the nearby Interior Department, accompanied by his sizable security detail.
The White House posted video of the rare outdoor trek, which took place Wednesday.
Obama shook hands, hugged, took photos and passed out White House M&M's to the surprised passers-by.
One woman, who introduced herself as Karen, asked for a picture and said it was "the best day of her life."
"Oh my gosh. Someone's going to think you're like wax," she added, as the photo was being taken.
Funny, I have never voted for a republican in my life. Grew up the grandson of the head of the Democratic party in Washington State. However, one of the highlights in my life was meeting the first President Bush. I did not agree with his policies, but meeting the president and actually having a 10 minute conversation with him is something I will never forget. I wish I could meet Presidents Carter, Clinton, W, and Obama. If you are so angry in your life that you cannot see that meeting the POTUS would be a memorable experience, then I feel sorry for you!
Everyone ought to be glad that the man has done a good enough job that we don't have to walk around in fear in this country. Glad to see walks are happening, and any other stress relief he may want. What are you people smoking?
Well, he finally did something. He took a walk and some more selfies. Progress.

The World Beams Rainbow Colors
White Buffalo Calf Woman Interprets White Willows Visions The Great Migration!
Rainbow Warriors of Prophecy Hoop 4
THE LAW is LOVE, the SNAKE (Sioux) TRAILS
White Buffalo Calf Woman (Ptse San Wi Yan), your Twin Deer Mother, has come home to your hearts. It's time to walk the evolution's path. We all are part of the Rainbow Clan, my relatives each and everyone. Receive the treasures that your iyes(h)ka (interpreter) gifts to you, the sacred song blessings, that always are true (soul and voice of the song). And inside of you, the soul that comes alive, the prayers that live, and shout, "I am and I thrive!"
Life is a Roller Coaster and Now I'm on a ride, over rolling hills again, and back to the place where I collide (dark and light). Heaven (dark) and Earth (light) come home to me and we will be getting along, where the sunset returns again, the place I call my home. Star is born, the light does shine, every single morn, and I have to open my heart, so I can get along. There is a kingdom out there, the place of paradise, and we are going home right now, if we can only collide (dark and light). Be my heart and walk with me, be the rising sun (Morning Star), have the place of wonder in the wishing land. Singing to your heart, White Buffalo Calf Woman is finally home at last! Ask for blessings, come receive the greatest you have known, there is promise everywhere, just you look and sea, the heart of wisdom knows the place, the heart that can conceive.
White Buffalo Calf Woman Sings
Sing a song, and get along, to have joy in life, full of tears, because you know, the sacred flow is all we have to get us home! Dance all day, and learn to play, with all you do and think and say, because we need love to please, to open hearts and doors to be! Welcome all your relatives, into the heart of all your sin and say, "I love you this very day" and "I won't let you get away!". I will fight for love this day, I will fight to show the way, because I am here to love you dear, my heart that sheds so many tears. And when we hope to comfort folks, then we will be prepared to say, "Come pray with me, learn joy to speak, and song and dance will keep us in relief". Whisper song and let a breeze come home to know your knees, where prayer is your living sacred breeze! White Buffalo Calf Woman Sings
Jeff Golden Light of Sound said, "I dreamed of the White Buffalo Calf Woman, she pointed to her heart and Buffaloes of all colors formed a circle, the White Buffalo went to the heart and all other Buffaloes followed."
White Buffalo Calf Woman Interprets: The heart is the path into heaven, where our souls do hide. We all belong to the Circle of Oneness, the Rainbow Clan. For we are all related and of God. A Buffalo represents the tools of light, in four rainbow colors, to assist your heavenly mission (heavenly name). This is our holy temple, our flesh, the Buffalo Home. White Buffaloes are like the stars, those who shine, united four roads, the blue, red, yellow, then white, the star. Grandfather light (white person, in their tools of light, rainbow directions) naturally shines like this, the white light of unity, who is humble, and bows like the Rainbow to receive blessings. The rest of us, must learn to walk this humble path, to shine like stars. These are the Rainbow Warriors of Prophecy who unite! A White Buffalo is the Star of Heaven, who shines upon Earth, walking and talking (wakan tankan, the Great Spirit Within) the united four roads. These are the White Buffaloes who are able to walk through the door of heaven, the crystalline heart of White Buffalo Calf Woman, to greet thyself (mirror to the soul, the heart of the crystal person), the soul seeking a way out, to illuminate and shout, to be validated, for who I am! The Rainbow Warriors of Prophecy, learning to become the White Buffaloes (stars of heaven, that shine), begin the Great Migration home. We enter the Third Phase of Evolution, the yellow rolling hill in time (dawning of brotherhood), where dreams do come true. Heaven and Earth, Welcome Home!
White Buffalo Calf Woman Sings: When pointing to the heart, the direction that imparts, the wisdom of the path of the inner light. Here we are many rainbow colors, all part of the same vision of the sacred circle of life. We are relatives, who need to come home twice. Once in the flesh (red road), and once in the soul (blue road), then we know, that we have binded (bound) our whole. When we follow the path of the heart and the soul, all other buffaloes will flow, for rainbows of latter (ancestors), the buffalo homes that have been shattered (separated and divided), will carry us home, to a brand new day, when we look for the heart that leads the day (to flow together, as one shining river).
The tools of light, do shine, like the holy temple of the mind, the flesh that does hold a soul inside. We call the tools of light, the buffalo home. For it's four sacred directions, that gift to us eight directions, the four colors then reflection, to gift our lights. Then we are the Rainbow Colors, the clan that does show reason, when we understand, that we belong to each others, by demand. For it's God's children, we hold the upper hand, for it's sacred in here, where the buffalo steer, the trembling of the hooves who do gallop away. We are here to lead the great migration day.
The circle of buffalo were the sacred rainbow colors, parts each of us, to be whole again, when we join together, in the wind. And as we join together, we follow the fortunate weather, it's inward, the heavenly route, the soul that flies, all inside. And heaven is what leads us, where all buffalo do feed us, to go home again. To feel the wind again. We are going home. To be under the sun.
And it's time for us to gather, to listen to our hearts talk. To walk the path of righteousness in the wind. And when it's all over, we will journey together, the path of love, the holy days, of eternity. Oh blessed bee, let us dream together and be free. Rejoice, Rejoice, the Green Grass Grows!
Relatives, that's the law and if you break the law over one child of the rainbow, no matter what age, you break the law. That the LAW, and it's LOVE. Love thy neighbor as thy brother. This is a commandment of God's ONENESS.
Married forever and ever, the ring (hoop) is forever.
No way out, only a way in .... this is the sacred circle.
White Buffalo Calf Woman your Twin Deer Mother

There's good news and bad news. I've made a lot of progress in getting a simple engine running is the good news. And even better news is that now that the 2011 WWDC videos are online there's some awesome new videos about GLKit. I'd recommend checking them out if you're a developer because some of the features seem very nice, I'll definitely be upgrading to OpenGLES 2.0 when iOS 5.0 comes out.
The bad news is that I had an eye appointment earlier today where my eyes were dilated so I can't really see. I was starting to think I wouldn't be able to finish my post for today but it's starting to come back so I can make a short post. I'm getting LASIK done next month because I'm nearsighted enough that I can't even use a computer without my glasses/contacts. I've always hated feeling so dependent on them. Getting my eyes dilated has effectively made me farsighted for the past 7 hours and it's pretty much just as bad. The real annoying part is that I have to wear my glasses or I can't see anywhere! It's a really interesting juxtaposition.
So for today's post I'm going to talk about the files that are in the template I posted last week. If you haven't seen it, get it at the bottom of the page here: OpenGL ES: Part 1

Friends With Benefits was a big hit at the box office this weekend...
Look, it wasn't a disaster but it was barely better if not worse than a Jennifer Aniston romantic comedy and, at just over $18 million, it did NOT out-earn its doppelganger No Strings Attached which opened at $19.5 million... in January.
January is not July. July is when people go to see movies. January is when movies that are sh-t hope to disappear without too much embarrassment. It was a surprise when NSA topped the box office in its first week. It's very, very ordinary that Justin Timberlake's Friends With Benefits struggled to get to 18 and a half. They released the movie in July for a reason. They were hoping to get summer money. They thought they could get BIG summer money. And they didn't.
But, but, but...
He, like, practically WROTE the movie, remember?
So how is it that it didn't make at least $20 million +???
Blame Mila Kunis. Blame the studio. Blame the goddamn director. Justin should have directed. Is it not enough that he had to REWRITE the f-cking screenplay, now he needs to worry about the direction? If he'd directed it himself, it totally woulda been gold.
At the movies, there is no "Justin Timberlake" factor. At the movies, "Justin Timberlake" is not a draw. Justin Timberlake is a MYTH. And Justin Timberlake, I still don't know, how did he make it onto Bill Simmons's list?
Anyway, Pipsy was at Comic-Con (click here if you missed my article on how everyone hated him and why he's far from cool) at the same time as Olivia Munn and his maybe on/off girlfriend Jessica Biel. I saw all three of them through the weekend.
Had to nudge by Olivia at a party on Friday night, you know how it can get really tight when you're squeezing through a crowd? For a few seconds we were hip to hip. I don't dig the things she wears or her hair right now but her face, Jesus, her face is something to look at. She has the best skin. Gorgeous. Never mind whatever's going on with that costume (although it's another reason those nerds were spanking it in the loo), focus on that FACE. Now you know why JT had to have a piece of that. And he DID. 100%. No doubt. There is no buffet about that story. You don't get to choose. That went down for sure... DURING his relationship with Jessica Biel.
Who keeps hanging on.
Jessica was in San Diego for Total Recall. She's quite pretty in person, and wears very little makeup although in pictures it shows up as so much more. Was rather nice to the press, took her time with everyone, really wanted to make a good impression. What's unattractive then is what she keeps wanting in Justin. And what she's willing to endure in return.

Heart to Heart Support Group
Teacher Reaches Out to Students
Why a support group? I believe that both adults and children misbehave and draw negative attention to themselves to meet needs that are often ill-attended. Many children are confronted daily with fears, anger, depression, repression, and countless other negative feelings, without validation from the adults in their lives. These children, also, do not know how to deal with these feelings.
I decided years ago that my students should have an outlet, both positive and healing, for these feelings. I began to set aside two periods per week to actually have a support group for my students. During this time we would discuss school-based problems, home conflicts, and many other difficulties young adolescents face.
This year at Tom Joy School, where I teach sixth grade, my students are already so involved in Heart to Heart each Tuesday and Thursday that they enter the room these mornings looking forward to "group" and asking if it is still scheduled.
Goals for the Group
I have two formal goals for Heart to Heart:
- To provide a warm, caring environment in order to facilitate personal and academic growth and
- To provide a support program, based on the group concept, that will help students deal with pre-adolescent problems and concerns in positive, appropriate ways.
Through this group structure, I also hope students will come to realize two things. First, and most important, that there is a way to release pent-up anger and pain through talking it out. Second, that often they are not responsible for the bad things that affect their lives.
Modus Operandi
How does the group operate? First and foremost, a group is only as successful as its facilitator (guide). That guide is you, the teacher! You must be willing to sit down with your class and to let your human side materialize. For us to sit down with them and talk person-to-person and, more important, to listen to them is not a loss of control as a teacher. If anything, it is gaining control through trust, love, and acceptance of our students and vice-versa.
During the first session, discuss the following rules. They are meant to provide boundaries and safe feelings within the group.
Rule #1: Everyone is accepted in this group.
Rule #2: Never put down anyone or laugh at anyone.
Rule #3: Speak what you really feel.
Rule #4: Everyone gets a chance to talk (one by one, around the circle). When it is your turn to talk, you have the option to pass (be quiet).
Rule #5: No one talks about what is said outside the group.
Reiterate that you are simply one member of the group, just as each of them, and there will be times you may want to bring a problem to the group, too. Students love this because suddenly their "teacher" is really human.
During the second session, I introduce a short discussion where we all participate. I may say, "Let's pretend your life is written in pencil. What is one thing you would erase? I start out with my own reply, such as, "I would erase the time I lost my temper and hit my sister." Then the next group member usually feels freer to speak up, because I, the teacher, started the discussion. Don't be discouraged if, during the first few meetings, several children say, "I pass." This only verifies that this is either new to them, that they may be shy, or that they may be afraid to trust the group. As the group meets over and over, you will not need to introduce a discussion topic, and children will join in more and more.
Discipline problems begin to fade, because students are talking out problems, are realizing they no longer stand alone, and are actually developing some very sophisticated life skills.
Heart to Heart is perhaps the most significant thing I do as a teacher. It sets the tone for positive learning. Through the group, we learn to think, to problem solve, to organize our thoughts, and to practice positive self-talk. This carries over into the academics and into social interactions outside class.
How do you find time to fit in Heart to Heart? Just do it! Save an academic subject for the next day. It pays off!
This article is a condensed version of "Heart to Heart," a chapter from NEA's Innovative Discipline, published by the NEA Professional Library.

The Worldwide Retail Environment
Retail is one of the world's largest industries, and competition across the globe is intensifying. In addition to the global economic downturn, today's retailers and wholesalers face a wide range of challenges, including industry consolidation, employee attraction and retention, and business continuity. Additionally, the constantly escalating pressure from consumers and competitors on the price-to-value equation makes success more challenging than ever. These trends create a host of risks; strategic, financial, operational, and other new claims types that can prove costly. As the industry becomes increasingly global and consolidated, the risks and claims become bigger and more complex.
As the world's premiere high-value claims resource, Crawford Global Technical Services (GTS) provides the depth and experience needed to solve the unique risks facing the retail industry in the rapidly changing global economy. We partner with our retail clients, their brokers, insurers and re-insurers to fully understand the complexity of their claims and to assist with every facet of loss management and claims administration. Our service includes procuring subject matter experts, assessing and administering claims, marshalling resources to work through an adjustment process, mediation, arbitration and litigation, and managing the loss to completion.
Key Areas Of Claim And Loss Exposure
A crisis, whether at a store, a distribution centre, or company headquarters can lead to serious injuries, disruption of the flow of goods, and consequent loss of business. Information and network exposures bring new legal uncertainties and complex risks. GTS is experienced in integrating the myriad specialties of IT, telecom, retail, and real estate to develop a comprehensive assessment of the claim and offer our clients a well-reasoned and responsible path to closure.
Retailers often operate stores in locations that are vulnerable to natural hazards. Substantial assets, especially at distribution centres and multiple operating locations, create greater potential for risk exposure. The GTS Retail group focuses Crawford's experience across the entire range of property and casualty claims to enable us to provide top-tier advice and counsel.
Supply Chain And Inventory
Retailers are sourcing and moving goods to points of sale with more speed and efficiency, while globalisation and regulatory requirements have increased the complexity of managing those supply chains. GTS Retail experts work seamlessly with our Technology and Transportation groups to provide a team approach to help retailers better manage these risks, with specialised teams dedicated to issues of import safety and product contamination.
Construction And Infrastructure
As retailers expand, large-scale construction risks become part of the equation. GTS experts in our Retail industry group partner with the colleagues in our Building and Construction group to provide 360-degree visibility to all claims in this area.
Claims And Loss Concern For Retailers
The GTS Retail industry group is unmatched for its talent and global footprint. Our technical adjusters respond comprehensively to large-scale, complex, and immediate retail challenges by working in multi-disciplinary teams across a worldwide network of locations.
The Benefits of Crawford GTS
The multinational and global risk and insurance community needs a team of experts with the experience and industry focus to evaluate and assess damages under extreme conditions. Crawford GTS has the commitment, skills, resources, technology and the experience required to meet the specific needs of each client.

March 5, 2007 was the day when Lucid got their final US approval, and coincidentally March 5, 2013 was the day when Pernod got their final label approval for their new "original recipe."
Neither of these dates were celebrated at the time for a variety of reasons, including the fact that products were not actually available in the US to celebrate with.
How very different from March 1, 2005: the day when absinthe was re-legalised in Switzerland after a 95 year absence. There was extensive press and TV coverage ...
The articles above feature both Claude-Alain Bugnon, the first illegal/"clandestine" distiller to go legal, and Yves Kubler.
Parties were held and many green fairies were observed that day in the Val-de-Travers (there may be some videos of the event on YouTube). All in all, it was a crazy day, and judging by videos of the Mardi Gras, it seems the Swiss and the citizens of New Orleans have a lot in common!
So it seems appropriate that in the space of 5 days this year, we can celebrate the Swiss Absinthe Day, Mardi Gras and then the US National Absinthe Day. With all those opportunities to drink, I probably don't need to suggest any more absinthe cocktails!
In fact on Mardi Gras I will be running a consumer event on absinthe in cocktails at London's famous Milk and Honey, and sadly I will not be able to go to London's Mardi Gras event at the NOLA Bar. NOLA, London is the first bar outside North America to win the coveted Seal of the Sazerac. Obviously a Sazerac - or an Absinthe Frappé - would be great way to celebrate any or all of these dates. In fact I will be drinking at least two different versions of the Death in the Afternoon that evening to see how different absinthes work in different ways in the same cocktail. That will be an interesting experiment - and one that I would urge any absinthe lover or bartender to consider.
My own distiller has progressed somewhat since 2005, and thankfully he now has some slightly larger alembics!
Happy Absinthe Days! Happy Mardi Gras!

RAPID D279 150kHz VMADCP processing
The adcp is mounted 1.75m port of the keel, 33m aft of the bow and at a depth of approximately 5m.
Data were logged using IBM DAS. The 150kHz ADCP was configured to sample over 120 second intervals, with 64 bins of 8m thickness, and a blank beyond transmit of 4m. Where shallow water was encountered, the ADCP was operated in bottom track (BT) mode, otherwise it was operated in water track (noBT) mode.
Data Originator's Processing
Data acquisition
Data were processed using the following scripts:
adpexec0: read raw data into P* format from the RVS level C; split into gridded depth dependent and non-gridded depth independent files; scale velocities to cm/s and amplitudes by 0.45 into dB; perform nominal edits and adjust bin depths to correct levels.
adpexec1: correct data timebase.
adpexec2_clock: merge data with Ashtech-gyro difference file and correct headings.
adpexec3: apply calibration values to the velocities, scaling speed by A and rotating directions by phi.
adpexec4: calculate absolute velocities by merging with bestnav navigation data and removing ship's speed over ground.
Clock correction
The ADCP uses its own clock that drifts by a few seconds per day. To correct this to match the ship's master clock, careful track was kept of the deviations between the two clocks. Data were processed in daily chunks and the clock corrections applied by linear interpolation from selected values spanning the day.
Calibration was undertaken using the following procedure:
- run through the normal processing steps as described above, with A=1 and phi=0 in adpexec3
- convert bottomew/bottomns into speed and direction
- convert ve/vn into speed and direction
- calculate A (=shipspd/botspd) and phi (=shipdirn-botdirn)
- select a valid subset of data and calculate mean A and phi
The calibration of the instrument relies on the collection of bottom track data, where the velocity of the bottom relative to the ship can be measured in water depths less than 1000m. This reduces the amount of data collected in the rest of the water column and therefore increases the noise in the measurements. Consequently, the instrument is swapped into bottom tracking mode only when appropriate.
It was noted that plots of absolute velocity vectors against time showed clear differences between on and off station. This is an indication of poor calibration. Examination of all bottom track data assembled together produced inconsistent estimates for A and phi. Consequently, because of the quality of the calibration for the 75kHz, it was decided to use that instrument to calibrate the 150kHz.
Comparison of aveaged relative velocities from the 150kHz and 75kHz ADCPs led to correction terms: dA = 0.985 (0.0142,104) and dphi = 0.0887 (0.71,94) and therefore an overall set of values of A = 0.9977 and phi = -0.2807.
Considerable problems were encountered in switching the ADCP on at the start of the cruise. On restart the slave synchronisation instruction was omitted and bottom tracking was permanently on.
BODC post-processing and screening
The data were converted from P* format into BODC internal format (QXF) to allow use of in-house visualisation tools.
Reformatted data were visually checked using the in-house editor EDSERPLO. No data values were edited or deleted. Flagging was achieved by modification of the associated quality control flag to 'M' for suspect values and 'N' for nulls.
Once quality control screening was complete, the data were archived in the BODC National Oceanographic Database and the associated metadata were loaded into an ORACLE Relational Database Management System.
Project Information
Rapid Climate Change (RAPID) Programme
Rapid Climate Change (RAPID) is a £20 million, six-year (2001-2007) programme of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). The programme aims to improve our ability to quantify the probability and magnitude of future rapid change in climate, with a main (but not exclusive) focus on the role of the Atlantic Ocean's Thermohaline Circulation.
Scientific Objectives
- To establish a pre-operational prototype system to continuously observe the strength and structure of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC).
- To support long-term direct observations of water, heat, salt, and ice transports at critical locations in the northern North Atlantic, to quantify the atmospheric and other (e.g. river run-off, ice sheet discharge) forcing of these transports, and to perform process studies of ocean mixing at northern high latitudes.
- To construct well-calibrated and time-resolved palaeo data records of past climate change, including error estimates, with a particular emphasis on the quantification of the timing and magnitude of rapid change at annual to centennial time-scales.
- To develop and use high-resolution physical models to synthesise observational data.
- To apply a hierarchy of modelling approaches to understand the processes that connect changes in ocean convection and its atmospheric forcing to the large-scale transports relevant to the modulation of climate.
- To understand, using model experimentation and data (palaeo and present day), the atmosphere's response to large changes in Atlantic northward heat transport, in particular changes in storm tracks, storm frequency, storm strengths, and energy and moisture transports.
- To use both instrumental and palaeo data for the quantitative testing of models' abilities to reproduce climate variability and rapid changes on annual to centennial time-scales. To explore the extent to which these data can provide direct information about the thermohaline circulation (THC) and other possible rapid changes in the climate system and their impact.
- To quantify the probability and magnitude of potential future rapid climate change, and the uncertainties in these estimates.
Overall 38 projects have been funded by the RAPID programme. These include 4 which focus on Monitoring the Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC), and 5 international projects jointly funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research, the Research Council of Norway and NERC.
The RAPID effort to design a system to continuously monitor the strength and structure of the North Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is being matched by comparative funding from the US National Science Foundation (NSF) for collaborative projects reviewed jointly with the NERC proposals. Three projects were funded by NSF.
A proportion of RAPID funding as been made available for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) as part of NERC's Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI). The SBRI aims to stimulate innovation in the economy by encouraging more high-tech small firms to start up or to develop new research capacities. As a result 4 projects have been funded.
Monitoring the Meridional Overturning Circulation at 26.5N (RAPIDMOC)
Scientific Rationale
There is a northward transport of heat throughout the Atlantic, reaching a maximum of 1.3PW (25% of the global heat flux) around 24.5°N. The heat transport is a balance of the northward flux of a warm Gulf Stream, and a southward flux of cooler thermocline and cold North Atlantic Deep Water that is known as the meridional overturning circulation (MOC). As a consequence of the MOC northwest Europe enjoys a mild climate for its latitude: however abrupt rearrangement of the Atlantic Circulation has been shown in climate models and in palaeoclimate records to be responsible for a cooling of European climate of between 5-10°C. A principal objective of the RAPID programme is the development of a pre-operational prototype system that will continuously observe the strength and structure of the MOC. An initiative has been formed to fulfill this objective and consists of three interlinked projects:
- A mooring array spanning the Atlantic at 26.5°N to measure the southward branch of the MOC (Hirschi et al., 2003 and Baehr et al., 2004).
- Additional moorings deployed in the western boundary along 26.5°N (by Prof. Bill Johns, University of Miami) to resolve transport in the Deep Western Boundary Current (Bryden et al., 2005). These moorings allow surface-to-bottom density profiles along the western boundary, Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and eastern boundary to be observed. As a result, the transatlantic pressure gradient can be continuously measured.
- Monitoring of the northward branch of the MOC using submarine telephone cables in the Florida Straits (Baringer et al., 2001) led by Dr Molly Baringer (NOAA/AOML/PHOD).
The entire monitoring array system created by the three projects will be recovered and redeployed annually until 2008 under RAPID funding. From 2008 until 2014 the array will continue to be serviced annually under RAPID-WATCH funding.
The array will be focussed on three regions, the Eastern Boundary (EB), the Mid Atlantic Ridge (MAR) and the Western Boundary (WB). The geographical extent of these regions are as follows:
- Eastern Boundary (EB) array defined as a box with the south-east corner at 23.5°N, 25.5°W and the north-west corner at 29.0°N, 12.0°W
- Mid Atlantic Ridge (MAR) array defined as a box with the south-east corner at 23.0°N, 52.1°W and the north-west corner at 26.5°N, 40.0°W
- Western Boundary (WB) array defined as a box with the south-east corner at 26.0°N, 77.5°W and the north-west corner at 27.5°N, 69.5°W

Well not that creepy (kidding! sorta!). YouTube user WyldStallynsGames really likes Shigeru Miyamoto. He likes him so much that he wrote a ballad for him. No, he wrote a power ballad.
On YouTube, WyldStallynsGames explains why he wrote this tune.
"It was through the work of Shigeru Miyamoto that I discovered my own passion: creating moving and meaningful video games that can cause others to grow and discover as well. I can only hope to touch one person's life the way that Mr. Miyamoto has touched mine."
This is heart-on-your-sleeve kind of stuff, which is sometimes good and sometimes awkward. It's usually sincere, though.
