UD students spend winter in Hawaii studying whales
While most Delawareans were inundated with cold and snow this winter, using shovels and plows to get out of their driveways, University of Delaware student Rebecca Moeller was busy working in the warm sunshine with whales in a place known as something of a tropical paradise: Hawaii. Working in Maui through an internship with the Ocean Mammal Institute, Moeller, a senior majoring in animal science and minoring in wildlife conservation in the Department of Animal and Food Sciences in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, said she spent three weeks tracking pods of humpback whales to see what effect boats had on their behavior. She explained that during four-hour shifts, either from 8 a.m.-noon or 1-5 p.m., she and her team would be stationed on a cliff about a half a mile offshore, or at another location right on the shore, equipped with binoculars and looking for pods of whales. "We would try to find one pod and then we would keep track of that pod for 20 minutes. Once we had a 20-minute period without a boat near the pod, we would keep track of the behaviors when there was a boat within half a mile, and then again once the boat was out of range for 20 minutes," explained Moeller. Tracking behavior wasn't the only thing Moeller did during her internship, however; she also learned how to use a theodolite — a surveying instrument used to track coordinates — in order to pinpoint the locations where they spotted the pods. Moeller said that team members would usually work with four or five pods a day and they would do an analysis of the pods at the end of every day. "We would map them and then record how much down time there was and how many surface behaviors there were," said Moeller. "Then at the end of the internship, we had to write a research paper using all of the data that we had collected." The interns also had to take a three-hour class every night after completing all of their work. So while it's natural for everyone to hear Hawaii and automatically think of rest and relaxation, Moeller stressed that she spent the majority of her time hard at work. "We were able to go snorkeling, but that was about the only thing that we had time for. I mean, the condos that we stayed at were right on the beach so we were able to appreciate the beauty of it, but we didn't get much down time," said Moeller. Not that that was a bad thing, especially since she was able to fulfill a lifelong dream. "Ever since I can remember, I wanted to be a dolphin trainer. A lot of people have that phase, only I never really grew out of it. I've always just really loved marine mammals," said Moeller. She added that the internship would also help her after graduation as she enters the career field. "In my future endeavors I really want to work in conservation biology for marine mammals and this definitely helped push me in that direction because I always knew that I wanted to be involved with dolphins and whales and porpoises," she said. "Having this experience kind of showed me that conservation biology is definitely the direction that I want to go." Moeller was joined on the trip by another UD student, Alessandra Fantuzzi, a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences. Article by Adam Thomas This article can also be viewed on UDaily.

After payments for the Spencer Road Branch project, the District will have a cash balance of approximately $6.8 million for operations before 2011 tax revenue is received. At the time of the Board meeting, the tax revenue had not been received from the County.
Board members discussed the popularity of the adult eBook collection (125% increase in circulation over fy11) and asked if additional funds from cash reserves needed to be added to the fy12 budget for adult eBooks. Betty Murr reported the staff had expended approximately 50% of the fy12 eBook budget and would purchase additional copies of reserved titles and more new titles as soon as possible to help meet demand.
Jim Brown reminded the Board of the Missouri Library Association Advocacy Day scheduled in Jefferson City on February 7.

(CBS News) It's been six months since the cruise ship Costa Concordia hit a rock and capsized near Giglio, Italy. And the ship is still there, even as the relatives of the 32 people who died in the disaster visited the island to remember their loved ones Friday.
Costa Concordia wreck: 6 months later
Costa Concordia captain: Crash was "destiny"
Captain Schettino free from house arrest as Italy criminal probe continues
The cruise ship still sits where it landed on January 13 - half-submerged, just off the Tuscany coast.
Now it's salvage master Nick Sloane's job to re-float the vast ship. He told CBS News, "Being a passenger ship, she's not designed to be on her side, so we have to stabilize her as soon as possible."
The Costa Concordia has been remarkably stable so far. A jumble of deck chairs can still be seen piled by the long-empty swimming pools. But it's only resting at its front and back on rocky outcrops on the sea floor.
The salvage team is going to have to build a platform to support the entire ship, and then use cranes to ease her upright, and finally, pump air into massive steel containers welded to either side.
If the engineers' models are right, the wreck will re-float.
Then investigators can get inside and start gathering evidence.

Ol' Lindsey Graham and the like really pissed me off though with his call to basically ignore the constitution. That was just dumb and dangerous in so many ways. Protecting our Constitution (meaning us) is so much more important than a couple whackjobs, even if it means a few more casualties. Not to belittle the savagery and the effects on individuals, but people die all the time, get gruesome injuries and in greater numbers from all sorts of mundane reasons. You have to keep it in perspective. Out of 3 billion plus people, a certain percent are murderous assholes.
Very true.. if most people were as gearedto defend the 4th amendment as the second, things might be different.
RIGHT $$$$$.. i like guns, i own guns.. BUT..The second amendment is pretty short and vague. People literally think Obama is coming to take the guns away ! i hear this every dayi don't know.. in MA 1978, i had to take live fire test for permit.. i thinks that is a good idea ..

The Red Pin
The Red Pin is a consumer facing Real Estate website for Canada. It brings all available homes in the market, under one umbrella and allows the consumers to research and find the home which suits them best. On top of the homes on the market, The Red Pin provides School information customized for each home as well as investment reports/data again customized to the selected home.
- The Red Pin is currently focused on new homes (ie, pre-construction and under-construction high-rise, mid-rise, low-rise and custom homes). It will be expanding to the re-sale market in the future.
- There are several websites in the US which provide similar services and to get a better idea of these services, please visit:
- http://www.trulia.com/ (These guys do something interesting with their logo. They use their logo as identifying pins, which spot the homes on the map. Do a simple search and you'll see their search results on a map with the pins)
- http://www.cyberhomes.com/
- http://www.zillow.com/
Consumers who are looking for new/resale homes and want to research the market before their purchase.
- We need to convey a fresh new look/web 2.0ish look. This is a web 2.0 style site, but it does not have a cartoony style design. Elements are not very large. It's got a simple & elegant design with font sizes similar to facebook. Hence we'd like a logo that resembles the same image (Web 2.0ish but not cartooney. A new fresh/elegant look).
- We need your CREATIVITY here.
We'd like a unique pin in our logo. We also want to use the same pin to show found search results on the map. So keep in mind that we could have 30-40 pins on the map at a time.
1- we like the pin to appear beside the name (NOT on top of it)
2- in terms of the way the name is written (font, style) we really like submission #12. Lower-case fonts, with the p stretched as a stopping point to our slogan.
3 - we like the red dot for the "i" in "pin"
4- we like our pin to communicate the fact this is a website about homes, and we would like to be able to "re-use" the same pin on our maps in the website to show locations and homes
- We need to be able to put the logo on our website/business cards/letter heads/marketing materials. The logo must be designed so that it can also be scaled down clearly for a mobile app.
- We are thinking of having a tag-line like ("Find your way home"), which can come right under the logo (if you think it works well)

"Everyone's Konoha" (それぞれの木ノ葉, Sorezore no Konoha, Viz: To Each Their Own Konoha) is chapter 581 of the original Naruto manga.
Amused at the fact that though Sasuke should hate Itachi, the two seemed to be getting along well, Kabuto Yakushi states that he understands that something might have happened during the brothers' battle, could not understand what Sasuke could want from a dead person. After hearing Sasuke declare that he wanted to know the truth, Kabuto surmises that Sasuke was suspicious of his brother, having already heard the truth and as such never returned to Konohagakure because of his intent to destroy it for making his brother suffer. Calling Itachi a liar and stating that he had gone as far as to eradicate his entire clan in order to protect the village, he asks Sasuke whether or not what he was doing was more akin to his own goals of wanting to continue what Orochimaru started and destroy Konoha. Attempting to inveigle him to his side once again, Sasuke has a flashback of a conversation he overheard with a group of Konoha-nin bad-mouthing Itachi after which he declares that he was nothing like Kabuto and that crushing Konoha was his own ambition. Recalling his life in Konoha, Kabuto begins to renounce the village and tells Sasuke that he would be his new brother. Telling his brother not to listen to Kabuto, Itachi commences his plan of action, telling his brother that he would use one of the clan's ultimate dōjutsu. Believing it to be Izanagi, Sasuke questions his brother on this. Itachi however corrects his brother as he clashes with Kabuto while wielding Sasuke's sword telling him that this was a technique that can decide destiny.

It looks like Canada will be able to watch Bret Hart's induction into the WWE Hall of Fame afterall.
In an e-mail to SLAM! Wrestling, TSN announced that the WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will indeed be broadcast on the popular sports network.
The TSN broadcast will be shown on Monday, April 3 at 8pm EST, two days after the ceremony takes place in Chicago, IL.
As noted by TSN Communications Office Matthew Garrow, the reason for the delay was simply due to a scheduling conflict. "We have a F1 race on April 1st @ 23:00 - 01:00 which conflicts with the live
airing of the induction ceremonies," Garrow told SLAM!.
The broadcast announced by TSN comes on the heels of an announcement by the USA Network that they will air the ceremony live. Last year, SpikeTV aired a portion of the ceremony live. It is not known at this time whether the entire ceremony, or a portion thereof, will be shown.
Announced for the Class of 2006 are Bret Hart, Eddie Guerrero and "Mean" Gene Okerlund. Others expected to be inducted include Tony Atlas (introduced by S.D. Jones), the Road Warriors (since the event is in Chicago) and the Blackjacks (Bob Windham/Blackjack Mulligan & Blackjack Jack Lanza).

The first thing that comes to mind when I think back to last night was the comeback, how it was generated by good, patient at-bats. Considering how they played overall, the Mets had no business playing baseball in the tenth inning last night.
The rally was encouraging because we saw too little of that last season.
However, and you knew there would be one, last night was a reminder of last season in several ways.
First, there was the horrid starting pitching of John Maine. We heard during spring training that his shoulder was fine, and maybe it is, but there's something definitely not right with his pitching. Ninety-two pitches is way too many for not getting out of the fifth. His location was spotty (he missed on the homer by a foot and a wild pitch set up another run) and his velocity is down.
Will Maine improve? I really don't know. You would hope, but maybe the 15 wins in 2007 was his ceiling.
Secondly, there was the offense, which mustered only six hits. They were 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position and stranded nine. One or two more hits and this was a win.
Finally, the bullpen gave up three runs. When your starter won't give you five, giving up three in the pen is too many. Jenrry Mejia's outing made you wonder if the Mets jumping the gun with him, but the performances by Sean Green and Hisanori Takahashi makes one think they might not have had a choice. Oh yeah, last night would have been perfect for Nelson Figueroa.
There was the Fernando Tatis play, which was boneheaded for sure. A reminder of how sloppy they were on the bases last night. But, you can't hang the game on that one play. Afterall, there was no guarantee David Wright would have come through.
Of course, no guarantee he wouldn't have, either.

theticketsguide needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 141 designs submitted by 43 freelance designers.
Hello talented designers of the world!
My name is Brandon and I come to you as the owner and creator of TheTicketsGuide.com. What I intend to do with my site is simple: I want to help teach thousands of people how to become online ticket brokers by showing them how brokers like myself buy and sell concert tickets online. I will do this by 1) writing a blog and 2) selling an 80-page eBook, fully loaded with high-quality images and step-by-step tutorials.
The personality of the logo I'm looking for, above all, is trustworthy. Starting a ticket brokering business takes a ton of time and effort and I want my customers to see my logo and IMMEDIATELY feel like they are in good hands.
Here is my #1 competitor:
Try to distinguish my logo from his, both in design and in color scheme.
My target audience will be mostly male, 25-40 years old. They will reach my site usually through a google search for "How to become a ticket broker." When designing your logos, please keep that in mind. My customers will be looking for reliable information and your logo will be the first thing they see.
My site will eventually have a feature area with this shade of blue:
I'd like to see the logo incorporate the shade of blue that's in the above image. The logo should also take up one line. Please do not submit logos that take up 2 (or more) lines. So:
This: http://tinyurl.com/2umeao8

I need the logo to look immediately appealing. Simple, modern, and to-the-point.
The logo should say "The Tickets Guide." Spacing is up to you (e.g. TheTicketsGuide is fine as long as its creative) and NOT "theticketsguide.com. You can add an image before, after, or within the words. This is also up to you.
Check out my site (http://www.theticketsguide.com) to see where the logo will be placed (I have an ugly placeholder there in the meantime...also please ignore the iPad...my site has nothing to do with the iPad).
Here are some of my inspiration sites and logos:
http://www.woothemes.com/ (LOVE this one)
The logo should be wider than it is tall since it will go up at the top, like the woothemes logo.
Thank you so much! Looking forward to your designs!

Major appliances such as stoves, washers, dryers and refrigerators have been sporting the familiar yellow energy guide stickers for quite some time now. These Energy Guide labels inform consumers on how much the "Estimated Yearly Energy Cost" is of the appliance in question, as well as the cost range of similar models. Surprisingly, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has given television manufacturers a pass on providing this information for years.
It seems as the growing number of high energy consumption television monitors such as plasma and LCD make their ways into more American households, the FTC has found this information necessary. The new rule will go into effect for all televisions produced after May 10, 2011. Brick and mortar retailers will be required to display the labels, and they will need to be visible from the front of the device. Online retailers will have until July 11, 2011 to display the full image of the EnergyGuide label for each model.
According to the FTC, the new rule will help consumers make better-informed decisions as competition in the flat screen television market increases. John Leibowitz, FTC Chairman states: "Unlike many years ago, before flat screens and plasmas, today's televisions vary widely in the amount of energy they use."
In the past there has been a pretty heated debate over which makes and models of flat screen televisions use the most energy. Well in the next eight months the debates will end and consumers will know exactly what the should expect to pay in energy costs for the new flat screen.
Will the yearly cost of power for that new television affect which make and model you buy? Or will you still base your decision on picture quality and features? I know what I would do but an curious to know your thoughts.

Gah, that's heartbreaking.
How can you tell it isn't Target's old stock?
I mean… I don't doubt you. And I expect the ol'e switcharoo to be more prevalent once those Eclipso JLU 6-packs start hitting the shelves at $25 to $30 a pop!
But by the same token, one of my happiest moments as a collector happened in 2005 when, by chance of needing a new pair of cleats; I happened to walk into the KB Toy store across the hall from a Virginia Champs Store.
And to my surprise, someone had unearthed a box of Toybiz Hulk Classics that contained a Smart Hulk, Mr. Fixit, Absorbing Man and Savage Hulk. As you can imagine, I was in collector Nirvana. And then of course, I spent the next 8 months hoping to find a Mecha-Hulk or a F4 Dragon Man; but no such luck.
My point is that:
A- Sometimes both customers hide merchandise, and employees misplace them.
B- Sometimes, the stores' inventory system messes up.
C- And Finally… The Ultra Humanite, Green Arrow, Shining Knight and Vixen are figures that still command a pretty penny on Ebay; so I'm pretty sure they'll find a good home soon. Maybe even faster than those Questions & Captain Atoms you mentioned.
My great hope is that there are collectors that would find those and need them.
What makes me think they are returns as opposed to lost stock is that there are three of them (same number as the new sets) and that they are from different waves/assortments. It's not like they put out a full case of purple carded 3-packs. And usually when I find something in a Target that was lost or hidden, there is the appropriate layer of dust on them for how long they have been lost. Just last month I went into another local Target and found 5 of the "Revenge of the Sith" Target Exclusive Lave Refelection Obi Wans (from 2005). These had clearly been unearthed from under a a shelf base when they did their latest reset.
I supposed it's possible they were finds, but that was my thought process.
My experience is similar. At this point, I have almost given up collecting DC hero toys from Mattel. The only product I can find is Brave and Bold, which they tell us is a "kids" line.
No JLU post Question.
No DCUC post wave 7. Except the Walmart 5 pack.
No DCIH. Except Target Superman/Batman movie packs and Walmart Titans 6 pack.
One can only hope that someone still needs them, or that the holidays help move them on out. But I don't think this would happen at all if the retail price was still $9.99 and not $15.99.
You'd think the Arrow/Humanite pack would move. That's a pretty good pack cept for Supergirl.
True, personally I've yet to see that pack. My Targets have been carrying the orange packs for a few years now too.
Now please don't tell me that these old stock carry the new price tag…THE HORROR
I live in St Louis and i have not seen any of the new 3 packs as well around August we got in the 2 6 pack they went quick. But now they have restocked them but no new 3 packs same old same old. We have a toyshow here every other month but only seen one 3 pack there.

How do I sign divorce papers?
How about we just start out with a pre-nup. Like, part of the agreement is that I can wear whatever I want on my head without comment. It's just as much my right to wear a headcovering as it is to not. And he can choose whether or not to wear a suit to church. That sounds good to me
Payable upon receipt of the paperwork....overnight mail is fine.
The paperwork will take much more time. That bill was just for the advice.
One has the right to wear whatever they want on their head, but it's also our right to form opinions about one based on their praxis...Freedom of Conscience, for good or ill, works both ways.Now as for those who insist on such practices, I will agree with TomS and my advice to them is that they'd probably be more comfortable, and less problematic, in Islam.
That's absurd. People who attend ROCOR and other old calendarist churches would not be "more comfortable" with Islam than Christianity. Traditionalist Roman Catholics would not be "more comfortable" with Islam. I wear a scarf when I attend liturgy but accept that most women don't feel comfortable convering their heads. But let's not forget that it was the tradition from the beginning of Christianity until about 1965 or so for women to cover their heads in church. Further it does say in Scripture that women should cover their heads in church. I don't take this to mean that all women should cover their heads but understand how some could reach such a conclusion. It's absurd to suggest that someone who looks to the traditions of the Church and Scriptures would be "more comfortable" with Islam than Christianity.ÂÂ
I concur. Hostility or ridicule is just not necessary, and the free exchange of ideas and information could, theorectically, take place without it.
..I will agree with TomS ...
Dont take too much offence. If you dont believe in such foolishness as requiring women to wear headscarfs, then my comments were not even directed at you.
Though I, more so than most here, have long insisted on the importance of Culture in the Church, and the inseperable nature of the two, I will also say that Culture Changes, even Orthodox Cultures, though they may take longer to do so (for Both better and worse). Furthermore, the basis of my comments is that absolutizing of a certain culture at a certain point in time and prohibiting any evolution is not a Characteristic of Christianity, but of Islam. So if you want to spend your time making such irrelevant points pillars of your faith, please become a Moslem (or a Jew) and you'll be able to find many other people who enjoy doing this with you...Hmmm, perhaps Judaizers would be a workable polemic label for these people, I'll have to think about it LOL.
You mistake Polemics for Hostility. Furthermore, Controversal and (sometimes) Scandalous may not be essential to an exchange of Ideas, but it can help getting a point 'home,' if you will more efficiently and effectively than more restrained words and, if nothing else, it certainly makes the exchange more fun. )
If I was visiting Russia, I'd wear one. If I was visiting California, I wouldn't. It really doesn't need to be an issue.
Bad move!ÂÂ
And if people want to make it part of American culture, that's ok too. Because, after all, that's what America is--a place where lots of people come and bring their customs and blend them til they become part of America's customs.
Don't be an ηλίθιοÂ, GreekisPagan. Should I wear a t-shirt and shorts to Church because that is the trend (especially when it is 45 C / 110 F+ outside)? Should a women were a super short micro skirt and midrift, since that is the common clothing of the people? That is the logic you are using.ÂÂ
to start making the services shorter,
to stop the priests from wearing proper clerical clothing and having beards and also for them to stop standing for all of Liturgy too?
Or maybe he just wants them to get organs? :-P
Sorry GiP, but renovationism has already been declared heretical by the Orthodox Church before the evil Communist revolution.
Still going back to Islam argument, that anyone who doesn't agree with must be muslim? Which is ironic since I never even stated my position on matter of headscarves, only that your argument against them has holes in it. But I guess simply questioning your authority makes me a muslim.  All I am doing is saying that your argument when taken to its logical conclusion is dangerous. And notice how I can say that I disagree with your stance without calling you a non-Christian.ÂÂ
Modesty is certainly virtuous for everyone...but I simply do not see how headscarves are necessary for practicing of modesty.
As an interesting side note of irony.... someone who resfuses to use modern English grammar and spelling rules insists that headscarves shouldn't be worn because they aren't American in terms of modesty.ÂÂ
A couple of observations if I may.The abandoning of headgear by women is not an AMERICAN phenomena but one that may be observed across Europe and the Middle East.
Personal Preference could be a euphemism for pride perhaps? Certainly I have frequently observed men and women whose apparel can hardly be described as modest, but then they might too respond with the answer it is their personal preference. And those who commit every sin and vice or subscribe to any and every heresy might also answer is it my personal preference.
I had thought that taking up the cross was to lay aside one's 'personal preferences' or is Orthodox Christianity simply another example of 'pick and mix' religion rather than The Truth, The Way and The Light?
I cannot agree more, we MUST Maintain the culture of the 4th century without evolution or change, for to do otherwise is to guide the Church into Apostasy.

February 9th, CPSIA and Hearts and Trees
In the coming weeks I am going to try to sell all of my Winter 2008 kits. If you are at all interested in purchasing a kit I suggest you do so very soon.
Hearts and Trees will still continue to operate after February 9th. I am going to focus more on PDF downloads like the ones I am already selling, instead of the arts and crafts kits. I have a lot of ideas, and hopefully in time I will be able to sell my kits again. I thank everyone who has supported my blog and my business in the past.

Oh, that's really too bad. We love our winter kit we purchased from you. (In fact, my daughter is doing some things from it as I type this!) I hope the law is changed to accomodate small business. I'm sure some of the places I buy toys from will be affected.

Dear Amanda,
I have heard tell that this law was simply poorly written and as a result accidentally affects more people than it intended.
It will be my prayer that the Lord will help those working to make corrections to have success quickly! : )
I personally wanted to thank you for all you do. In fact, I just posted about a nature walk our family did as we were inspired by your checklist:
It was delightful.
Thank you again!

Are you absolutely certain you are affected by this law? Did you get a letter specifically or call to find out?
I'm just curious if small businesses are basing this upon assumption based on the wording of the law or based on specifically being contaced in some form. If not, I would look into it deeper before making any decisions.
The law talks about testing from a manufacturers level...though you put together these kits, ultimately, you buy the supplies from the store. The manufacturers who MAKE these items are the ones responsible. You don't make the fabric, you piece them together. I would seriously look further into this. :)

So sorry to hear you will stop putting the kits together. I recently bought the winter kit and my children have enjoyed it so very much!
Hopefully the law will be modified and you can continue with all the wonderful ideas you have.
Thank you!

Richard Littlemore | December 4, 2009
By Richard Littlemore • Friday, December 4, 2009 - 05:19
In the endless - and senseless - assault on Michael Mann and his famous hockey stick graph, it is generally overlooked that the graph has withstood all of the criticism and, still today, stands as a perfectly accurate picture of climate over the past millennia.
Most convincingly, its results have been replicated by other methods, using other proxies on more than a dozen occasions.
As well, however, Mann's conclusions were vindicated in two independent reviews, the second of which, by Edward Wegman, was particularly hostile in it conception, but ultimately exculpatory. Arie Brand covered this so well in a comment to the next post that I felt compelled to reproduce his note here, for the convenience of those who are too offended by the trolls to pick through all of the excellent comments buried among the mindless criticisms.
Thank you Arie:
What are the facts:
In 2006 two reports were brought out on the politicized "hockey stick". The earlier one, drawn up at the request of the US House Committee on Science, was drafted by a broadly based 12-member panel of the US National Academy of Science under the chairmanship of Professor Gerald North, and released on the 22nd of June of that year. The later and shorter one, for which the House Committee on Energy and Commerce took the initiative, was composed by a 3-member panel of the Academy's Committee on Applied and Theoretical Statistics under the chairmanship of Professor Edward Wegman and was brought out in July.
For the whole debate on global warming the two vital questions were:
1. Is the research of Mann et all. leading to the hockey-stick graph essential for the hypothesis that the planet is currently undergoing a process of global warming that is at least in part caused by human activities?
2 Does the idea behind the hockey stick graph that the last few decades have been the hottest of the millennium have any validity?
Answer by the North Report to question 1:
The North-committee answered this question as follows:
"Surface temperature reconstructions for periods prior to the industrial era are only one of the multiple lines of evidence supporting the conclusion that climate warming is occurring in response to human activities, and they are not the primary evidence".
Answer by the Wegman report to question 1:
The answer in the Wegman-report does not contradict this:
"In a real sense the paleoclimatic results of MBH 98/99" (that is the original hockey stick article by Mann et al. – AB) "are essentially irrelevant to the consensus on climate change. The instrumented temperature record since 1850 clearly indicates an increase in temperature."
Answer by the North report to question 2:
Though the North-committee was not very happy with Mann et al.'s statistical method it nevertheless held that a whole array of evidence had confirmed Mann et al.'s original result and that on the whole the idea that the last few decades had been the warmest of the last millennium (thus including the so-called 'medieval warm period') was 'plausible' (a term panel members further elucidated by saying in the press conference following the release of the report that the odds for this having been the case were 2: 1) though one can have more confidence about this for the last 400 years than for the earlier period.
Here are the relevant statements from the North report:
"As part of their statistical methods, Mann et al. used a type of principal component analysis that tends to bias the shape of the reconstructions. A description of this effect is given in Chapter 9. In practice, this method, though not recommended, does not appear to unduly influence reconstructions of hemispheric mean temperature; reconstructions performed without using principal component analysis are qualitatively similar to the original curves presented by Mann et al. (Crowley and Lowry 2000, Huybers 2005, D'Arrigo et al. 2006, Hegerl et al. 2006)."
"The basic conclusion of Mann et al. (1998, 1999) was that the late 20th century warmth in the Northern Hemisphere was unprecedented during at least the last 1,000 years. This conclusion has subsequently been supported by an array of evidence that includes the additional large-scale surface temperature reconstructions and documentation of the spatial coherence of recent warming described above (Cook et al. 2004, Moberg et al. 2005, Rutherford et al. 2005, D'Arrigo et al. 2006, Osborn and Briffa 2006, Wahl and Ammann in press), and also the pronounced changes in a variety of local proxy indicators described in previous chapters (e.g., Thompson et al. in press). Based on the analyses presented in the original papers by Mann et al. and this newer supporting evidence, the committee finds it plausible that the Northern Hemisphere was warmer during the last few decades of the 20th century than during any comparable period over the preceding millennium."
Answer by the Wegman report to question 2:
Wegman et al. did not deny that the hockey stick graph could possibly give a valid indication of the change in temperature over the last millennium – they merely denied that this graph was adequately supported by Mann et al.'s original statistical analysis. In this context part of Professor Wegman's oral testimony before the House committee on Energy and Commerce is revealing: "I am baffled by the claim that the incorrect method doesn't matter because the answer is correct anyway. Method wrong + Answer correct=Bad science." (It has been argued that the Wegman committee merely showed that Mann et al.'s analysis could produce spurious results, not that it actually did).
At any case for the wider community the basic question was not about Mann et al.s competence as statisticians, it was whether the hockey stick graph gives a reasonably correct indication of the change in temperature over the last millennium. We saw that the answer of the North-committee was that this was 'plausible' and that the idea was at any case supported by a whole array of evidence from other authors, also those using other statistical methods than Mann et al. The answer of the Wegman-committee contained nothing that is at odds with this conclusion.
Press reactions:
After the release of the first report reputable newspapers such as the New York Times and the Boston Globe concluded that the hockey stick graph had been vindicated. The NYT of 22nd June said: "A controversial paper asserting that recent warming in the Northern hemisphere was probably unrivaled for 1,000 years was endorsed today, with a few reservations, by a panel convened by the nation's pre-eminent scientific body". The Boston Globe said a day later: "A signature piece of evidence for global warming – a compilation of data showing that a sharp rise in temperatures made the late 20th century the warmest period in 1,000years – is probably true, a national panel of scientific specialists concluded yesterday."
As to the charge that Mann et al. had 'cherry picked' the data to fit a pre-conceived graph the NYT also reported that the statistical expert of the North-committee, Professor Peter Bloomfield of North Carolina State University, stated during the press conference following the release of the report; "I saw nothing that spoke to me of any manipulation" and that his impression was that the study was 'an honest attempt to construct a data analysis procedure."
Perhaps I should add here that Pielke Jr., a scientist the ClimateAudit crowd likes to quote when it suits it, said at the time that the NAS-report amounted to an almost complete vindication of Mann et al.
In view of all this one is baffled by assertions that these two reports have "discredited" or "broken" the hockey stick, that Mann et al. had not merely used the wrong method (in arriving at the right result) but had deliberately picked out certain data to fit a pre-conceived thesis – claims one can only ascribe to an elaborate and devious PR-campaign.
To provide this all with a shred of evidence the purveyors of this nonsense have seized on a particular statement in the North as well as the Wegman report, namely that one could not have confidence in Mann et al.'s suggestion that it was likely that the nineties were the hottest decade of the millennium and 1998 the hottest year. The argument of the North committee here was that the data didn't allow such precise indications from year to year and the Wegman-committee stated in general that such an assertion was not supported by the statistical method used by Mann et al.
It is clear that we are dealing here with a subsidiary thesis and that this does not detract from the claim by the North committee, that, overall, the graph provides a plausible indication of the changes in the average global temperature during the last millennium (one may add that the North committee was super-cautious here because if it is 'plausible' that the last few decades were the hottest in the millennium why wouldn't it be 'likely' (the word used by Mann et al.) that the decade and year that according to the thermometer were the hottest of these decades would also be the hottest in the millennium?).

co2science.org - halp!
Thanks for this. Question: via Wattsupwiththat, I ended up at co2science.org, looking at their 'medieval warm period project' map. They appear to cite 771 studies on this map, and it appears to tell a different story to all the other reconstructions I've seen.
Has anyone looked into these studies? I'm presuming they'll turn out to be a mishmash. That's the thing, of course, that distinguishes one side of this debate from the other: I don't think for a second that the IPCC would have just *missed* 771 studies showing the MWP to be warmer than today. People on the other side don't doubt that the IPCC would have done exactly that, for some nefarious purpose or other. It reminds me of friends of mine who believe the US govt could have planned 9/11. It just makes absolutely no logical sense (1000s of people, all remaining silent?) but that doesn't seem to stop them believing it.
That said, I'd love an opinion on co2science's list of citations. I know they get some oil and coal funding, but as they point out, that doesn't necessarily mean their list of citations is questionable. Giving them the benefit of the doubt - what can anyone tell me?

A novel approach, but business as usual for evil genius denialists.
Warmistas are regally above the fray and far beyond reproach. Anyone remotely suspected of condoning such abhorrent shenanigans ought to be summarily dispatched; preferrably by strangulation in their own beds.
The rare opportunity to meet the self-proclaimed "P.R. Man for the Planet" (THE GOREACLE) and press the flesh in Copenhagen for a mere $1209 US has been regrettably cancelled.

Dr. Craig Idso received his B.S. in Geography from Arizona State University, his M.S. in Agronomy from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln, and his Ph.D. in Geography from Arizona State University.
Dr. Idso is a former Director of Environmental Science at Peabody Energy in St. Louis, Missouri, and is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Geophysical Union, American Meteorological Society, Arizona-Nevada Academy of Sciences, Association of American Geographers and the Ecological Society of America.
They are a very talented group of scientists. If you have one tenth their academic achievements, I would be very surprised.
"...The Idso's are not well
"…The Idso's are not well known for their science, as much as they're known for their willingness to issue "reports" for coal industry associations like the Western Fuel Association. The Fuels Association paid the Idsos $250,000 to produce a video, "The Greening of Planet Earth," which argued global warming could be good by extending the growing season.
The Idso's Center has also received grants from oil-giant ExxonMobil in the past…" http://www.desmogblog.com/kansas-lawmaker-claims-coal-plants-are-good-for-crops

I prefer Mann's explanation that he simply used a trick to hide the decline. a good analogy to explain the most positive (For Mann) interpretation of wegman is simply that he cheated on the test but he got the right awnsers so its ok.
The first problem arise in that the midevil warming period was diminished if not totally excluded. This was obviously done to exagerate the 20th century warming.
The second problem is that measuring the earth is an enormous task, it's not like we can simply put a giant thermometer in the ground. Ground based temperature have to be collected from thousands of weather stations across the globe in thousands of countries. Many approximations and estimates have to be taken to account for weather stations moving over time, the error in mercury thermometers etc.. All this information is gathered and then approxiamted and estimated further. When you get the end data set it has thousands of guesstimates in the reading. Now ask yourself do you trust Micheal mann to make these educated guesses in an unbiased fashion? Do you think he might exagerate warming with his estimates or rather trick you to hide the decline?
Micheal Mann should have been stomped hard the first time, if he was cliamte science may have woken up and would not be in the situation it finds itself in today.
Climate science is governed largely by statistics and how the scientists chooses to estimate unknown variables and the statistical methods entailed. When you are talking about a 1/2 degree in warming over a hundred years of data collection it is quite reasonable to assume that 1/2 degree is simply made up of statistical and data collection errors. The fact that Mann et co. now are shown to have little to no credibility really leaves the entire conjecture of climate models in great doubt. The people we have making these estimates have been proven to be completely without scruples.
I would not place money on the predictions and estimates of these people as the extent of the problem is no doubt greatly exagerated. How do you get the population to make a WWII like effort to reduce carbon emissions, when the core of the science is largely based on the estimates of people who are biased?

The Broken Stick
Educate yourself. Start here http://www.climateaudit.org/?p=2322 on the Wegman and North Reports on the Hockey Stick. Note the conclusions. The Hockey Stick was broken then. Now read http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/12/04/jo-nova-finds-the-medieval-warm-period/ and you will see it was broken from the start but a few things got in the way such as, 42 scientists all co authoring papers and being the peer reviewers while excluding other views. With the release of the emails this sure looks like a chapter out of Animal Farm. I'm sure everyone wants to know who the Whistleblower is. We all know – it was John Gault! Now you may go back to placing your hands on your ears and saying La, LA, LA if you wish.

"Note the conclusions" is bad science
You write: "Note the conclusions." This is extremely bad scientific practice. One must read the assumptions, review the data, and understand the analysis before you "note the conclusions." To do otherwise is to engage in psuedo-science.

CSPG is now officially a denial group:
Dr. Hutton is a CSPG past president. I only had a brief glance…the Frijs and Christensen (1991) sunspot graph is still the one with the arithmetric error - the real graph proves the opposite. The best one is Hutton's self citations from the unreviewed CSPG publication "The Reservoir" - repetition leads to gospel. Also good is the painful citations of fringe scientists Gerling & Tscheuner's work.
Dear blog owners, would you please pass this opus on to somebody who has time and desire to rebut it chapter by chapter.
As said, I am a petroleum geologist (or rather a geologist working in the petroleum industry), however not a member of the above organisation - for obvious reasons.

"In the past decade, the extent of multiyear sea ice rapidly reduced at a rate of 1.5 x 106 km2 per decade, triple the reduction rate during the three previous decades (1970-2000). Springtime multiyear ice extent was the lowest in 2008 in the QuikSCAT data record since 2000. QuikSCAT results in March 2009 showed a multiyear ice extent of 3.0 ± 0.2 million km2. This was 0.3 million km2 larger than the multiyear ice extent on the same date in 2008, even though the total sea ice extent was similar in the spring of 2008 and 2009. While the multiyear ice extent was similar in March 2008 and 2009, its distribution was quite different. More specifically, in 2008 there was a significant amount of multiyear ice the Beaufort Sea and in 2009 there was a large amount of multiyear ice the central Arctic Ocean.
Recent estimates of Arctic Ocean sea ice thickness from satellite altimetry show a remarkable overall thinning of ~0.6 m in ice thickness between 2004 and 2008 (Figure. S4a). In contrast, the average thickness of the thinner first-year ice in mid-winter (~2 m), did not exhibit a downward trend. Seasonal ice is an important component covered more than two-thirds of the Arctic Ocean in 2008. The total multiyear ice volume in the winter experienced a net loss of more than 40% in the four years since 2005 while the first year ice cover gained volume due to increased overall coverage of the Arctic Ocean. The declines in total volume and average thickness (black line in Figure S4a) are explained almost entirely by thinning and loss of multiyear sea ice due to melting and ice export. These changes have resulted in seasonal ice becoming the dominant Arctic sea ice type, both in terms of area coverage and of volume."
See http://www.arctic.noaa.gov/reportcard/seaice.html
Cherry picking denialists have focused on the slight difference between 2008 and 2009, ignoring the overall trend. There is as the report says "thinning and loss of multiyear ice due to melting and ice export".
Principal Component Analysis
Did Michael Mann use a Baysian version of PCA like this?
Seeing so much criticism and so little defense I had assumed the methodology was flawed. But I am coming to realise it was the answer that people did not like, not the technique.
Baysian statistics is not well understood and PCA is not well understood, by the average layman (myself included). So a combination of the two, while valid, leads to easy criticism.

I notice a few names there from the climate gate emails - I'm not sure that helps your theory about Mann's work being exonerated, Dick.
Phlogiston replied on Permalink
I'll give you some credit, Richard
You are almost as good a "cherry-picker" as your hero Michael Mann.
From the North Report
"All paleoclimatic reconstructions rely on the "uniformity principle" (Camardi 1999), which assumes that modern natural processes have acted similarly in the past,"
Which we now know is not true from the "Hide the decline" email.
"Sampled trees should not show signs of disturbance factors such as insect infestation, grazing, fire damage, human utilization, fungal infestation, or mistletoe attack (Schweingruber 1988, Fritts and Swetnam 1989)."
Which we now know was not the case with the "strip-bark" Bristlecone pines which have the predominant influence on the "Hockey-stick" reconstruction.
"Recommendations to archive all collected materials, so that they remain available for future study, have been published (Eckstein et al. 1984)."
Which Mann did not do.
"The possibility that increasing tree ring widths in modern times might be driven by increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations, rather than increasing temperatures, was first proposed by LaMarche et al. (1984) for bristlecone pines (Pinus longaeva) in the White Mountains of California. In old age these trees can assume a "strip-bark" form, characterized by a band of trunk that remains alive and continues to grow after the rest of the stem has died. Such trees are sensitive to higher atmospheric CO2 concentrations (Graybill and Idso 1993)"
Here we go again- strip-bark and the added confounding factor of aerial CO2 fertlisation. Mann's favourite trees for his Hockey stick are simply not appropriate.
"There is a need for more rigorous statistical error characterization for proxy reconstructions of temperature that includes accounting for temporal correlation and the choice of principal components."
Exactly what Steve McIntyre said
"The variability of proxy reconstructed temperatures will be less than the variability of the actual temperatures and may not reproduce the actual temperature pattern at particular timescales."
Which is why the blade of the Hockey stick is flat.
"McIntyre and McKitrick (2003) demonstrated that under some conditions the leading principal component can exhibit a spurious trendlike appearance, which could then lead to a spurious trend in the proxy-based reconstruction."
Which is exactly what happens when you use Mann's algorithm on the raw data.
I could go on and on. North's NAS Panel report is littered with these damning truths.
Wegman's report is even more damning
"The papers of Mann et al. in themselves are written in a confusing manner, making it difficult for the reader to discern the actual methodology and what uncertainty is actually associated with these reconstructions.
It is not clear that Dr. Mann and his associates even realized that their methodology was faulty at the time of writing the [Mann] paper.
We found MBH98 and MBH99 to be somewhat obscure and incomplete and the criticisms of MM03/05a/05b to be valid and compelling.
Overall, our committee believes that Mann's assessments that the decade of the 1990s was the hottest decade of the millennium and that 1998 was the hottest year of the millennium cannot be supported by his analysis."

CO2 Science Halp!
I'll help you out Dan. Just go to the IPCC First report (Houghton, J.T., et al (Eds.). 1990. Climate Change: The IPCC Scientific Assessment. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, UK.) and you will find the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) in all its glory.
Of course a MWP warmer than today is not "helpful", so when Mann's dodgy Hockey Stick came up it was grabbed with both hands by the IPCC and all the previous science conveniently forgotton.
The Idso's, via "CO2 Science", are doing the World a service by showing all those papers, old and new that demonstrate the MWP that the IPCC have so carefully tried to airbrush out.
Richard C replied on Permalink
Idso bias
I suggest you compare what the Idso's say, with what the original papers say. I did this a couple of years ago with their "temperature record of the week". They claimed the data they used was from the USHCN, but when compared with that directly downloaded from the USHCN the data didn't match. And surprise, surprise that always ended with CO2 science claiming a smaller or negative temperature trend.
Phlogiston replied on Permalink
Idso Bias
Not a surpise really. I suspect the Idso's plot "raw" data. That is data before it has been "adjusted" a la CRU.
And this is how CRU do it (excerpt from leaked "Harry" files. The computer code with the built in fudge factor- http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/12/04/climategate-the-smoking-code/#more-13687)
This is an actual snippet of code from the CRU contained in the source file: briffa_Sep98_d.pro
Apply a VERY ARTIFICAL correction for decline!!

4 yrloc=[1400,findgen(19)*5.+1904]
5 valadj=[0.,0.,0.,0.,0.,-0.1,-0.25,-0.3,0.,-0.1,0.3,0.8,1.2,1.7,2.5,2.6,2.6,2.6,2.6,2.6]*0.75 ; fudge factor
6 if n_elements(yrloc) ne n_elements(valadj) then message,'Oooops!'
8 yearlyadj=interpol(valadj,yrloc,timey)
Lines 1-3 are comments
Line 4
yrloc is a 20 element array containing:
1400 and 19 years between 1904 and 1994 in increments of 5 years…
yrloc = [1400, 1904, 1909, 1914, 1919, 1924, 1929, … , 1964, 1969, 1974, 1979, 1984, 1989, 1994]
findgen() creates a floating-point array of the specified dimension. Each element of the array is set to the value of its one-dimensional subscript
F = indgen(6) ;F[0] is 0.0, F[1] is 1.0….. F[6] is 6.0
So what this code does is to make years 1919, 1924, 1929 and 1964 colder and 1969, 1974, 1979, 1984, 1989, 1994 a lot warmer.
Hey Presto! Instant climate change!
Don't ya'll luvvit?
The code you quote is from a paper by Osborne and Briffa, discussing a temperature chronology made by using treerings. They describe(!) in their paper what they have done, in detail.
The little bit of code you describe has NOTHING to do with any temperature measurements using stations. This little fact makes you a liar.

Is bigger better for Corsair's self-contained watercoolers
Subject: Cases and Cooling | March 4, 2013 - 01:50 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: watercooling, corsair, H90, H110, 140mm
The Corsair H90 and H110 use larger 140mm fans with 140mm and and 280mm radiators respectively. [H]ard|OCP compared them to also relatively recent H100i and H80i, 120mm based coolers that are controllable with Corsair's LINK technology. The comparison was rather favourable for the new 140mm coolers, with both new models beating the H100i at stocks speeds and beating their respective cousins on an overclocked chip; perhaps more importantly these two models did so with noticeably reduced sound levels. If you need serious cooling and aren't crazy about noise, these two coolers should be on your list.
"Corsair, once known only for quality enthusiast RAM modules, has successfully diversified its products reaching into cases, power supplies, processor cooling solutions. With the release of the H90 and H110 Hydro Series, we see the first new refresh in its closed loop liquid cooling systems."

Corsair has upped their presence in the cooling field with the new 140mm fan-based additions to the Hydro Series™ CPU water cooler lineup. Corsair was kind enough to provide us with samples of their H90 and H110 series cooling units, both using 140mm fans. We put these coolers up against their H80i 120mm fan-based unit as well as our custom-built Swiftech Apogee HD cooling system to see how well these new Corsair units performed. Starting at a base price of $99.99 for the Corsair H90 cooler, you can't go wrong with either unit.

Corsair worked with Asetek to design their new 140mm-based line of coolers with the H90 and H110 introduced to enhance their current line of coolers. Both coolers are built using aluminum radiators capable of holding 140mm fans and copper cold plates. The rubber coated tubing used is low permeability 1/4 inch based tubing with multiple layers used to prevent liquid evaporation and to provide maximum tubing flexibility. Unlike their Corsair Link™ based coolers, the Corsair H90 and H110 units do not have integrated LEDs nor the Corsair Link™ based monitoring system.
Corsair Super-sizes Hydro Series Liquid Coolers with 280mm and 140mm Sizes
Subject: Cases and Cooling | January 17, 2013 - 02:11 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: water cooling, radiator, Hydro Series, H90, H110, corsair, 280mm, 140mm
Corsair is thinking big with their Hydro series of self contained watercoolers, the $130 H110 model sports a 280mm radiator while the $100 H90 is a smaller 140mm, both using Corsair's high static pressure 140mm fans for cooling. That should keep the noise down as well as your temperatures and as long as your case supports 140mm fans you should be able to mount the radiators with no problem.
My hero!
FREMONT, California—January 17, 2013—Corsair, designer of high-performance PC hardware components, today announced the Hydro Series H110 and H90 liquid CPU coolers. With huge radiator cooling surfaces areas of 280mm and 140mm respectively and specially designed 140mm low-speed, high static pressure fans, the new coolers deliver superior CPU cooling and quieter operation than smaller 120mm designs.
The Hydro Series H110 is a low-noise, high-performance liquid CPU cooler with a double-length 280mm by 140mm radiator. The H110 radiator's large surface area provides more contact room for heat dissipation and for side-by-side mounting of dual fans. Each fan is a specially-designed low-speed 140mm static pressure fan, which moves much more air per decibel of noise than 120mm fans. Combined, the larger radiators and lower fan-speeds produce better performance with much lower noise levels than smaller 120mm dual-fan coolers. The H110 fits cases with dual 140mm top fan mounts and 20mm screw spacing.
The Hydro Series H90, like the H110, is a low-noise, high-performance liquid CPU cooler, but with a more compact square 140mm radiator and a single 140mm static pressure fan. The large radiator and spacious surface area combined with lower fan-speeds produce better performance than smaller 120mm single fan coolers with lower noise. The H90 is compatible with many cases with a rear or top 140mm fan mount.
The Hydro Series H110 and H90 liquid coolers feature an enhanced copper cold plate with soaks up heat more efficiently than previous generation designs. Both coolers are compatible with most modern CPU platforms including AMD AM2, AM3, AM3+, FM2 and FM1 and Intel LGA 1155, LGA 1156, LGA 1366, and LGA 2011.
"Many PC enthusiasts choose liquid cooling for its extreme cooling efficiency and quiet operation," said Thi La, Senior VP and GM of Memory and Enthusiast Component Products at Corsair. "To take liquid cooling the next level, we super-sized the Hydro Series H110 and H90, providing users our best cooling-to-noise ratio ever."
Pricing and Availability
The Corsair Hydro Series H110 and Hydro Series H90 liquid coolers are immediately available from Corsair's worldwide network of resellers and distributors. Suggested retail prices in the United States are $129.99 for the H110 and $99.99 for the H90.
