The Auditor's Bot Walks into NASA's Open Bar
[When discussing the ontological question "What Constitutes Hacking?", the Auditor recalled his "script" story. Here's PDA's comment, which won the thread at the time.]
Dishonesty aside, Rabett has now shown, quite conclusively, he has no idea how connecting to servers works.
Indeed, another clueless individual made a similar bone-headed suggestion:
If you do programmatic retrieval, it is usually considered good manners to insert a delay of at least 1 second between requests so as not to load the server [clueless].
Another idiot offered a link purporting to present "performance hints," and added the inane observation that
While the execution time of a script can be significantly reduced by using faster CPUs, the invocation is disk I/O bound [idiot].
What a maroon!
Another fool said he
slept for a full 4 seconds between each station request and ran it overnight on the weekends [fool].
Clearly driven beyond the endurance of any normal man, Mr McIntyre's response was
In retrospect, I would have put a sleep instruction – BTW how do you do that? [Auditor]

Marc Beaumont gives us a master class in cornering - learn to take them smoother and come out with more speed every time. We prove mountain biking doesn't have to cost a fortune with 4 hardtails for under £800 that offer great, solid frames from which you can upgrade components as necessary.
For anyone who doesn't drive or own a car we try and get to some great trails by using the train and we pop in on Brendan Fairclough to see what he gets up to with Andrew Neethling between world cup races.
There's also stunning travel adventures from Morocco and the crazy Cappadocia in Turkey which has to be seen to be believed…

Mr Local
Good dorms
What we say:
Most beds that cost 200 baht on Ko Phi Phi aren't really worth the electrons we'd expel in writing about them, but the unusual Mr Local in the heart of Ton Sai village has some pretty decent dorm beds going for 200 baht a head. They're in a bunk-bed set-up and looked pretty clean and well looked after, but we met someone who stayed here who moaned about room-mates coming home at 3, 4, 5am — when you're in a dorm you'll notice these things, so keep that in mind (and buy ear plugs). As a budget bed on Ko Phi Phi, this is unbeatable value.

The Kaiser Health Tracking Poll is the Foundation's signature survey project, providing consistent and up-to-date information on the public's opinions, knowledge, and experiences with the U.S. health care system. Since the passage of the Affordable Care, the Kaiser Health Tracking Poll has been a primary tool for monitoring all aspects of public opinion on the ACA, including overall favorability on the law, opinion on a wide variety of its provisions, public familiarity with what is (and is not) in the law, early experiences, and awareness and views of state-level decisions about implementation. See all health tracking polls below.
Click here to view our Health Tracking Poll Interactive which allows users to track public opinion on the Affordable Care Act, from the inception of the law to the present, for subgroups based on age, race, income, gender, party identification and insurance status.

Tag: fiscal cliff
Would going over fiscal cliff be a disaster?
- 5:46 pm Friday, December 28th, 2012 by Opinion Staff
A high-level White House meeting on Friday afternoon apparently brought no breakthroughs in fiscal cliff negotiations.
Some experts have said going over the cliff, which would trigger big tax hikes and big spending cuts, would shock the economy into recession.
Going over the cliff also could ravage consumer and business confidence. A foretaste of that possibility came Thursday when consumer confidence plunged and Friday when the stock market followed.
But other experts point out that the tax increases and spending cuts will be spread out over the year. They say it's more a fiscal hill than a fiscal cliff, and that if Congress [More]
Who deserves blame for breakdown in fiscal cliff talks?
- 3:57 pm Friday, December 21st, 2012 by Opinion Staff
After House Speaker John Boehner's "Plan B" approach fell apart Thursday night, the Republican leader said it now is up to President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat, to come up with a new approach to avoid the fiscal cliff.
The fiscal cliff is a combination of automatic tax increases and spending cuts that go into effect at the end of the year. Economists say the constriction that would result could send the economy back into recession.
The political failure also could lead other rating agencies to downgrade U.S. debt. Standard & Poor's took that step after the 2011 [More]
Is Obama right to rule out raising Medicare eligibility age?
- 4:15 pm Thursday, December 13th, 2012 by Opinion Staff
The Associated Press is reporting that one of President Barack Obama's top Senate allies has been assured by the White House that the president won't yield to GOP demands to increase the eligibility age for Medicare.
Sen. Dick Durbin, a Democrat from Illinois, told reporters that increasing the eligibility age from 65 is "no longer one of the items being considered by the White House."
Many budget hawks have insisted that raising the Medicare eligibility age is the only sure way to rein in rapidly rising health care costs.
The eligibility age for Social Security already has risen to 66 for Americans born [More]
Will Obama and Congress avert the fiscal cliff?
- 2:12 pm Monday, November 19th, 2012 by Opinion Staff
Investors apparently were feeling better Monday about the prospect of a federal budget agreement. After taking a hit most of last week, stocks were up to start Thanksgiving week.
President Obama, who is on a trip to Asia, took a moment to stoke the optimism. "I am confident we can get our fiscal situation dealt with," the president said.
Earlier, following a meeting between the president and congressional leaders, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said he favored tax reform that is "consistent with the president's call for a fair and balanced approach."
"To show our seriousness," Rep. Boehner said, "we put [More]

On this day in music history: October 1, 1977 - "It's Ecstasy When You Lay Down Next To Me" by Barry White hits #1 on the Billboard R&B singles chart for 5 weeks, also peaking at #4 on the Hot 100 on November 12th. Written by Nelson Pigford and Ekundayo Paris, it will be the fifth and final R&B chart topper for "The Maestro". Session singer Nelson Pigford ("Gonna Fly Now (Theme From Rocky)") and songwriter Ekundayo Paris (The Grass Roots' "Sooner Or Later") will meet while Paris is a music student at Los Angeles City College, and begin writing songs together. White will receive a copy of the duo's original demo recording from the brother of his string arranger Gene Page. White will listen to the demo while on a European tour, and by the time he returns to the US, will give it a dramatic rearrangement which that bares almost no resemblance to the original composition. A huge R&B hit and pop crossover smash, it is certified Gold in the US by the RIAA, it will be Barry White's fifth and final million selling single. In 1994, the song will be sampled as the basis of Mary J. Blige's hit single "You Bring Me Joy".
This past weekend, I had an awesome dj gig at a wedding reception. These are usually pretty fun - being such a happy event and all. But the families involved in this reception made it extra fun. Here's some footage I shot behind the decks.

I've just painted and shipped this Biltwell 3/4 helmet off to the Pure Sludge "Heavy Heads" show in Lancaster USA. It'll be on show for 1 night only (27th September). Very proud and humble to be invited to participate in the show. Thanks!
The piece is my rendering / interpretation of a very powerful image of the Christmas Truce in WW1. Its an image I've been meaning to pay my respects to for some time so I'm glad I got to do it for this show. Its hand painted with enamel, my first effort at drawing and painting on a spherical object! Adorned with Folklore Brand motives too (My other brand)!

Teach Adult Kids About Money
Teaching children about money doesn't stop when they grow up. This second of two articles looks at parents sharing their financial wisdom – sometimes hard-won – with recent graduates entering the work-force.
Get their paperwork organized. For most children, this time of life brings their first handling of paper such as bank statements, tax documents, pay stubs, health insurance claim forms, student loan bills and renters' insurance forms. Suggest your child keep a binder or scan and e-store paperwork and records. Kids this age also start handling household bills they never saw in college, such as those for rent, electricity, water, cable and cellphones. Show them how you track your monthly expenses and payments and how you keep your records. Is your child paying bills through automatic debit or by check? Stress the ramifications of missed and late payments.
Keep a detailed budget. Have them track all expenses for the next few months. Record every outflow of cash and every credit card purchase in a spreadsheet. They should categorize each line item into needs or wants – and so learn what they can do without for a little longer. At the end of each month, discuss the record with them. They will find that detailed awareness helps them control spending.
Knowledge is power. Though colleges offer courses in advanced econometrics, statistics and investment portfolio management, most children enter adulthood without ever taking a class on basic money handling. Make sure they have these skills. Share with them what you've learned about personal finance and guide them to resources such as online articles and blogs and books on personal finance for young adults.
Save early. Scrimping to put away money for a far-off retirement or an emergency fund may intimidate your child – especially if their first paycheck is small – but show them the power of compounding. If your child's employer offers a 401(k) plan, urge them to put aside even a small amount each paycheck. Help them save for an emergency fund to cover needs for three to four months in case of job loss or other future problems; again, use online calculators to map out a fund plan.
Living at Home. A recent Wall Street Journal article cited financial planners' claims that an adult child back at home can cost $8,000 to $18,000 a year, often at the expense of parents' household and retirement savings. Encourage your child to live independently if possible. Children living at home can also, depending on the parents, start to feel too comfortable.
Debt. Many young adults carry large credit card debt. Emphasize that a credit card is just borrowing at astronomical rates if they don't pay the balance every month. With a new job and new life, many young adults also find themselves needing such new expenses as a car, furniture and a work wardrobe, to name a few. Talk to your kids about sensible spending and, again, about budgeting.
Graduate School. Many recent college graduates go to graduate school to delay entering the workforce. Ask your children why they want to go to graduate school and ask them to justify the reasons.
Learning from your mistakes. Share with your children the personal financial mistakes you made. Often people learn best from what happened to others.

Please visit our fantastic new website by clicking this link!
By Elisa Novick
There are times when I feel a need to go back in to question my most basic assumptions. The following conversation took place in one of those times. While I do not fully understand everything that comes through, the theme that emerges is one that has been repeated to me in various forms. What I especially enjoyed was that when I questioned God, I was the one who got questioned!
I've always wanted to know what we are doing here. What is all this for? Why this particular confluence of spirit, matter, souls, bodies, emotions, thoughts, imagination, action, limitation and possibility? The combinations are infinite, the expressions as well. And somehow through all of this, we have come to believe that there is room for improvement, change, progression, at the same time as we are told that there is a perfection. Yet while we might be perfectible, we never seem to reach perfection. No resting place, no final moment where it all comes together and stays that way.
There has been a teaching in some traditions that in the spiritual realm there is perfection, while in the physical realm, in these infinitely variable bodies and lives, we have lost perfection and somehow have to find our way back. We worry about what we have done. How could we have messed it up so badly and how come we can't stop and just do it right, make it all better, just be there for once and for all?
I ask God: Is this, dear creator and creation, some ridiculous quest or is it an enjoyable journey? Does it have any meaning at all? And why do we look for meaning, for healing, to be out of suffering? Why do we seek to be good in a world with so much badness?
Dear Elisa,
This is a good introduction to the questions that have plagued this world. What do you think of these questions? Are they relevant? Do you want answers? Who is answering this question you have brought forth anyway? Why do think there is a God? Do you know for certain?

Just Dance
"Mommy, who don't more people dance?" Ella asked.
We were on the ride home from the 100 Mile Market. Dunya, an African Drum & Dance band had been playing in the center of the parking lot.
"I'm not sure honey," I answered.
"But why Mommy? Dancing is so fun!"
I thought about it from her perspective. Why wouldn't people dance? The music was great. The sun was shining. We were at the Farmers Market, which is always fun.
"Yes, you're right, dancing is really fun honey! I don't know why more people weren't dancing. That is a really good question. Maybe they just didn't feel like it."
Ella took in my words and thought about it some more, staring out the window as we drove home.
"But why wouldn't they feel like it Mom? Dancing is so, so fun."
She's right. Dancing is fun. I think deep down, everyone loves to dance. It's freeing to dance, especially when no one is watching (which is the way children dance).
The evidence is in the photos of that afternoon. Almost all the children were dancing, bopping, hopping, skipping - moving.
And yet the adults? Standing. Staring. Not even toe tapping.
When I look back at the grown ups in those photos, I see fear. Entrapment.
Because why not dance? What else could be holding us back? The child inside wants you to dance.
And this is just one more reason, of many, why I love being a mother. That I am able to think of profound things like this because of the simplicity and freedom of which my daughter thinks and acts.
So dance. Don't think. Just dance!

I Am An Author!
I printed the first copy of my ebook yesterday. Whoot, whoot!
A little back story about the writing of this book:
I wrote the 9 Steps to Home Birth Prep email newsletter just over two years ago as part of the creation of my site, Bring Birth Home.
The newsletter was free to receive, and since it's inception, over 750 people planning a home birth have been helped by it's content.
Early this Spring, I decided to transform the articles of my newsletter into an eBook.
I wanted to make it even more accessible to families. An all-in-one home birth preparation package that women could read on their Kindle before bed or share easy access information with their parents.
So I began the process of turning the 9 Steps inside out. I shook it upside down and watched all the words tumble.
Then I picked up all the pieces, rearranged them, tossed some out, added a TON, and adding it all together again. It took me four months.
I'd say 95% of the content is brand spankin' new.
I'd learned so much since I wrote the original series. Heck, I'd had another home birth since then - and it was so much different than my first!
Now begins the process of editing. Red pen to paper. All 12,000+ words. It's going to be awesome, thanks to a few stellar editing volunteers (I have read it so many times by now I can practically recite it).
The 9 Steps to Home Birth Prep eBook should be ready for the public the first week of June!
Gypsy Ponies
It's a misty morning.
I walk with the children
down the hill, round the corner
to our neighbor's barn.
The horses are out
in the front pasture grazing -
"all day if they could,"
Dennis tells me.
He unlatches the gate.
We walk to the first hill,
wait for them to notice
Ella's calls; camera clicks.
When they notice,
their heads raise,
ears pointed up and forward.
They begin their approach.
Slow but intentional,
I realize they're coming
on their own behalf,
not ours.
These are gypsy ponies.
Wild, like the Mustangs,
but gentle to the children
who adorn their manes.

Calif couple trying to visit Disneyland every day
July 3, 2012 10:55 AM
(AP) – A Southern California couple has passed the halfway mark in their quest to visit Disneyland every day this year.
Magic Kingdom marathoners Tonya Mickesh and Jeff Reitz hold annual passes. Both were out of work when they decided that instead of moping at home, they would cheer themselves up with a challenge – going to Disneyland all 366 days in 2012, beginning on New Year's Day.
The Orange County Register says they hit the halfway mark on Sunday. Mickesh now has a full-time job, but Reitz says she still joins him at night.
They celebrated her birthday there last weekend.

– After getting beat down for three rounds, it appears that Gabriel Gonzaga broke his hand. He took on Stipe Miocic at UFC on Fox 10. In his efforts he broke his hand during so as he announced in a video on his Facebook page.
As of this writing there's no word on how long this will keep Gonzaga out of competition or how long he'll be medically suspended by the Illinois athletic commission.
This was Gonzaga's second loss in six fights since returning to the UFC back in January of 2012. The 34 year old has a total of 16–8 under his belt.
– Jose Maria Tome has been released from the UFC. His manger sent the following to the media:
"Now it's time to sit down and analyze other offers," Brigadeiro told MMAFighting.com. "We'll see what he should have done to win (in the UFC) and move on. He has no date to fight again yet."
"I think that, despite not winning (in the UFC), he did what we expected to do as far as being aggressive, doing great fights," he said. "When you get to a promotion as big as the UFC, you're under pressure to deliver and sometimes you can't be more cautious, so you don't win.
"Jose Maria is a great athlete, he pleases the crowd and has done great during training at RFT. I can't say what went wrong, actually. Maybe it wasn't supposed to happen right now."
Jose Maria Tome is 33–5 (2) in his MMA history and lost his last two fights by TKO to be cut from the UFC. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Servings: Makes about 4 dozen
- 20 oz. bittersweet chocolate (at least 70% cacao), chopped, divided
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1½ cups (packed) brown sugar
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature

PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Place racks in lower and upper thirds of oven; preheat to 325°. Heat 8 oz. chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (bowl should not touch water), stirring until chocolate is melted; let cool slightly. Reserve saucepan for melting more chocolate for glaze.
Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl; set aside. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat brown sugar and butter until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add eggs and crème fraîche and beat until just combined. Reduce speed to low and gradually mix in melted chocolate; reserve chocolate bowl. Mix in dry ingredients just to combine; fold in 8 oz. chopped chocolate. Cover and chill dough until firm, at least 30 minutes.
Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 2" apart. Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until edges are set but centers are still slightly soft, 15–20 minutes. Let cookies cool on baking sheets 5 minutes. Transfer to wire racks and let cool.
Melt remaining 4 oz. chocolate in reserved bowl set over reserved saucepan of simmering water. Let chocolate cool slightly, then dip or drizzle cookies with chocolate as desired. Let sit until chocolate is set, 15–20 minutes.
DO AHEAD: Cookies can be made 2 days ahead; store airtight at room temperature.

It is my understanding from reading the text of S.C. State Code of Laws, Section 6-1-700, that the hospitality tax is to be used for tourist-related activities. The city's plan for opening a YMCA does not meet this criteria. We have empty store fronts due to restaurants/retail stores closing from lack of business. The funds from the hospitality tax would be more appropriately spent on tourism as it is intended … billboards on I-20, advertising, events that draw non-residents to the downtown area to eat, shop, buy gas and spend the night. It would seem to me a ...
Wonder why Lugoff is beginning to look like Detroit east? A grocery store, dry cleaners, dollar store, fast food restaurant and many more are gone. Take a close look down at your local government building.
Since my last letter to you, I have received five phone calls and numerous personal comments from friends regarding the City of Camden/Columbia YMCA partnership. All of these contacts have been supportive of my letter and thus my belief that something is not right within our city council.
A the Kershaw County Council meeting Tuesday, June 14, Sammie Tucker – who represents the Charlotte Thompson precinct in which I reside -- made a motion to "adjust" council's salaries from $10,000 to $13,000 a year. It included "adjusting" the vice chairman's salary (his own position) from $11,000 to $15,000 a year. Do the math – that amounts to a 30 percent increase in salary, plus benefits. The motion passed by a 4-3 margin. The three opponents were Stephen Smoak, Jimmy Jones and Chairman Gene Wise. These three members considered the citizens' pocketbooks more than their own.
We all have recently received our new tax assessments from the county and if you, like me, were surprised to see that your property has increased in value significantly you probably said something like," are they crazy? Don't they know that property values are down?" The answer to that is, of course they do, but that is irrelevant to the objectives of an ever-increasing government. This is about maintaining and/or growing government.
On April 13, Mrs. Audree A. Clark of Cassatt celebrated her 91st birthday with her family on the patio of the Karesh Wing at KershawHealth. Mrs. Clark was on the Karesh Wing recovering from a recent fall and was receiving physical therapy. Throughout the day, the family talked in anticipation of her coming home, and she said she wanted a really big celebration thrown in her honor. The family was all smiles as they sang "Happy Birthday." The cake, so delicately made by her daughter, Jimmie, sat in front of her. They gazed upon her as she cut her cake ...
Webster's Dictionary defines "forum" as a public meeting or lecture involving audience discussion.
I recently received my updated property appraisal notice and was quite surprised. I was surprised with the reassessment because the value is higher than previous years. And although we've maintained the property in good shape we have not made any expansions or improvements. This property was acquired in 2005 and, based on my limited understanding of appraisals and reappraisals and the associated state laws, my belief would be that it was based on the so-called and recently controversial "point of sale" appraisal. The increased value is even more surprising since this property was acquired at or near the peak ...
As a volunteer at KershawHealth, I agree with Bob Dornblaser. We do take jobs away from employees. However, if we all resigned, the hospital leadership would not rehire those employees. The patients would suffer. The employees who depend on our help would suffer. Amy Kinard, the new volunteer director who had nothing to do with this mess, would suffer.
Thank you, city of Camden, for creating the beautiful Village Green – a very nice addition to our city.
As my family and I move to Aiken, I would be remiss if I did not share my gratitude to this community for all that you have done for us. My husband, KT, grew up here and has loved Camden his entire life. Being from up north, I was unsure if a Michigan girl would fit in. Will Camden accept me? The answer was "yes." Not only did Camden accept me, they allowed me to grow as a mom, a wife, and also as a teacher. I spent five years in this school district, first at Mt. Pisgah and Bethune ...
I thought the hospitality tax was to be used to bring in tourists. How will the YMCA do this? Who will be willing to travel to Camden just to work out, or to take a swim? Are the people just outside the city limits the tourists the city is counting on? Those of us who don't live in the city limits still pay the hospitality tax because we have no choice; if we want to enjoy the local businesses there, we have to just go along.
Today was the last "Lunch and Learn" at the Health Resource Center. For so many in our community, it was a sad day. The center was a valuable asset to Kershaw County and will be dearly missed. A big thank-you to the wonderful staff.
I am compelled to write this letter after reading the letter that was written by Officer Christopher Phillips in the Chronicle-Independent on Friday, May 20, 2011. He was writing from the standpoint of being a member of the Kershaw County Sheriff's Office staff. I'm writing from a citizen of Kershaw County's view. This has been a hard week for a lot of people, especially our law enforcement officers. I was really grateful, happy and sad after reading his letter.
My wife and I have been volunteering for more than four years at KershawHealth. On Tuesday, May 17, 24 working people were let go. Through no fault of their own they were released of their jobs. My wife and I immediately resigned because we think we are taking jobs away from those workers. The hospital is very happy with their volunteers because it doesn't cost them anything. I loved volunteering at KershawHealth but volunteers should be suspicious that they are not being used by the hospital instead of the hospital hiring workers.
Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on immigrants and being an American in 1907:
I want to voice my support for Jeffrey Graham in his pursuit of a seat upon Camden City Council. I think Jeffrey is a unique candidate with a perspective we need. He is a family man with young children, and because of this I think he can represent the needs of many other young families in the Camden area. While all of the current council members have important and impressive qualities, the direct representation of our younger generations is imperative, and with Walter Long leaving, we do not have such a voice on the council if not for Jeffrey Graham.
I am supporting David Reuwer for probate judge in the coming election. In any election, voters must ask a couple of things: does the candidate know what he or she is doing, and does the candidate possess the proper attitude to best serve the people of Kershaw County. Well, Mr. Reuwer is a practicing lawyer and Elgin municipal judge experienced in probate matters including the new, revised probate code. Mr. Reuwer is a hardworking man dedicated to the protection, conservation, and celebration of the historical legacy of Kershaw County. He has a strong need to help others; it seems to ...
I see signs appearing throughout the county imploring you to "Vote Yes Twice" regarding the school referenda. If you favor tearing down perfectly good schools and Camden High's football stadium, construction new ones to replace them, to the tune of $130 million plus interest; and if you want to pay higher taxes on everything you buy, then by all means vote yes.
One of the best things about being an educator is the opportunity to share in the success of students' educational careers. Watching students learn to read, speak a foreign language or pass an AP exam are highlights that I've shared with numerous young people over the years, but none of them comes close to what I consider one the best highpoints I ever experienced: the excitement that I saw on the faces of the students from North Central High School years ago when I informed them about the improvements being made to their school as part of Phase 1 ...
The city of Camden needs experienced professionals, invested citizens working for everyone; the city of Camden needs Jeffrey Graham elected on Nov. 4. Join me in voting for a man with a proven record:
The probate court handles estates, conservatorships and guardianships among other things, all of which are important because they affect the lives of people. When choosing the right candidate for the position of probate judge, we first should take into consideration the candidate's experience and knowledge of the job they are seeking. Debbie Branham is a paralegal with 20 years of experience, handling more than 1,000 probate and estate matters. She has been in the courtroom assisting an attorney in trial. She understands the law, the procedures of the court and the probate process. She has the experience and ...

Reuters: Many Pediatricians Still Not Using Interpreters
Close to half of pediatricians do not use a professional interpreter when seeing patients and families with a limited understanding of English, according to a new study. ... Using family members is not recommended because they are more likely to make errors while translating or to withhold sensitive or painful information for emotional reasons, [Lisa DeCamp of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore] told Reuters Health by email (Doyle, 7/10).

Surgeons-in-training had fewer opportunities to take part in operations after restrictions on their working hours were put in place in July 2011, according to a new analysis. Researchers tracking a group of first-year surgical residents during 2011 and 2012 found the trainee surgeons took part in an average of 26 percent fewer operations than their counterparts in the previous four years (Seaman, 7/10).

Research Scholar Energy
+43(0) 2236 807 586
David McCollum is a Research Scholar with IIASA's Energy (ENE) Program, having joined the group in February 2011. He received his doctorate in transportation technology & policy from the University of California, Davis (USA), Institute of Transportation Studies in 2011, following the completion of an MSc in agricultural & resource economics from the same institution, and a BSc in chemical engineering from the University of Tennessee (USA). Dr. McCollum first visited IIASA during his PhD studies as a participant of the 2009 Young Scientists Summer Program (YSSP).
Dr. McCollum's main fields of scientific interest include techno-economic analysis of advanced energy and transport technologies and the development and application of energy-economic and integrated assessment models. His research attempts to inform national, regional, and global energy and environmental policies on matters related to climate change, sustainable transport, energy security, and air pollution. To this end, Dr. McCollum performs long-term scenario analyses and employs multi-criteria analysis techniques, particularly focusing on potential transitions for the energy system over the coming decades and the complex synergies and trade-offs between multiple energy objectives.
Dr. McCollum is currently authoring multiple chapters of the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (Working Group III). In particular, he co-coordinates the material on co-benefits and risks of climate change mitigation, linking mitigation to other sustainable development concerns (air quality, energy security, land and water use, biodiversity, energy access, and employment). Dr. McCollum played a similar role in the Global Energy Assessment, for which he was a lead author.

Acceleration problem - is it so tough?
Acceleration problem - is it so tough?
Mileage: 40K
Engine: 3100 V6
Transmission: automatic 4T60E w/vacuum modulator
The car has been checked by my regular mechanic twice, a transmission shop and a Buick dealer service shop in Richmond, VA with no success.
The problem is more noticeable when car warms up.
Once I reach wanted cruising speed of 35 mph or above (and the car changes to third or fourth gear), the car has a poor response on a slowly, steady press on gas pedal.
For a second it seems that RPM sound goes up and then it drops down with dull sound ( the car has no RPM gauge on dashboard). At that point I keep pressing pedal slowly but car does not accelerate or needs eternity to speed up.
Sometimes I do not even feel that RPM goes up even for that second.
At that point,
If I release and press pedal lightly once or twice, it will eventually pick-up and response.
If press faster or harder, it will downshift and speed up like a champion but I do not want to race.
Air and fuel filters, transmission fluid and PCV valve has been replaced - problem persisted.
So far I tried test-swapping used TPS, MAF, MAP problem persisted
Fuel pressure within specs (40 psi in idle) and fuel pressure regulator holds vacuum.
Spark plugs and wires are original but they should be good at 40K, (GM says the should last up to 100K).
Poured a bottle of injectors cleaner in tank - problem persisted
Swapped vacuum modulator with aftermarket part problem persists.
No SES light came, no malfunction codes set.
I love the car, it has low mileage and hopefully should give me years of service but I am desperate now. :disappoin
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I know it is tough, but there is no dumb sugggestion in my situation so please fell free to post any suggestion.
I replaced (again) trany filter and fluid with no immprovement. Reason is you can never be sure if a shop replaced filter and I wanted to eliminate plugged filter as a cause.
you are making thing hard to answer. try to hook up fuel pressure gauge and test drive and monitor fuel pressure.
see if you can check the exaust system.
roaddirt.i do not what to say
I myself do not know what to think. Every time I read something I start suspecting something else and try to test it but some things like checking if catalitic coverter is plugged or driving the car with fuel pressure gauge connected are beyond my knowledge.
How for God's sake I can drive with fuel pressure gauge connected in engine compartment and be able to monitor it? Hose is one foot long and Schreder port is half of an inch from running serpentine belt.
And I do not have scanner that could monitor fuel preasure readings either.
Food for thought...it is possible that the problem is normal. With the usage of overdrive and the lock up convertor, it is possible for the engine to be unable to respond well until the trans downshift or the convertor disengages. I am not sure that you are not trying to fix a normal condition. Ray
Well...I was thinking about that as well. I also have 1995 Olds Achieva with the same OD, 4T60E trany, and it does not do that. I has always driven it in OD and it runs "normal" like any other car I owned before.
I do not know if the 4T60E trany get some more electronics and more computer control since 1995, causing it to work different. I think have heard something about that though.
But again, this is something I never felt with any car before. If you do not press hard and downshift, the acceleration from cruising speeds above 35 MPH is so painfully slow that nobody would want to drive this car. I cannot believe somebody would design the car to run like this.
Did anybody heard anything about electronic control changes to 4T60E since 1995?
Every year there are updates done to the GM transmissions. Are you sure you have a 4T60E trans and not a 4T65E trans. GM has phased out the 4T60E trans in favor of the 65E since about 1996 or 97.
My User Manual says 4T60E. I also found info on Internet that Century 1994-2003 has 4T60E transmission.
"The 3100 V-6 engine is mated to a 4T60E four-speed automatic overdrive transmission, with an electronically controlled capacity clutch. It provides nearly imperceptible upshifts and downshifts and computer-controlled torque converter lockup for increased fuel economy."
Hey guys I am new here. Looking for answers to the same problem on my 98 Century. I will tell what I have so far 3 weeks with a good mechanic and he has no answer. I checked wiring to and replaced knock sensor. No help. Changed modulator valve $12, No help. My scantool showed EGR not ready or failed. I checked the EGR per instruction in Haynes and the EGR valve showes good but the harness plug did not. I left the EGR unpluged and the car is running great and the scan tool showes ERG passed???? Scantool also showes 4 EGR codes for failed circuit??? According to Haynes I need to check my harness and PCM next weekend. Hope this helps.
So you are having the same acceleration/hesitation problem and after disconnecting EGR the car runs well, right?
I would like to try the same test. I have no codes set, but I think that problem with EGR system half of times will not trigger any PCM codes.
Is it safe for engine to test run the car with unplagged EGR?
I am not aware of any problems with running the car short term with the EGR disconnected. The computer seems to make the required timming changes, so no knocking or pinging is noted. Long term it may affect the catalytic converter. Unplugging the EGR will set 4 codes and the service engine light will come on, but on my car results were instant. Autozone and some of the other auto parts stores will read and erase code for you if you need to turn the service engine light off after testing.
The other day I disconnected EGR and test drove the car for 15-20 min.
No change, car behaved like before. (This test set up SES light and threw a couple of codes that I all cleared with my OBDII laptop after reconnecting valve.)
Also, OBDII scan showed that EGR valve was opening properly under load. Commended EGR percentage was equal to actual (executed) which made me believe that my EGR valve was OK.
I wanted to check the air passage underneath of EGR valve for possible carbon blockage so I removed EGR and checked. No visible carbon deposits or blockage. EGR valve gasket has to be replaced if you remove valve.
Conclusion: EGR valve dose not seem to be cause of the problem.
Well, I have taken my Buick to another Buick dealer, again.
The car was well warmed up when Service Chancellor took it for drive with me on passenger side. As soon as we reached cruising speed around 35-40 mph, the RPM dropped down and the car exhibited famous poor acceleration.
He asked me if this is my problem and I confirmed. He said that was OK, the car behaved like it was supposed to. I was stunned.
He technically said You need to keep in mind that Buick is a luxury car designed for smooth cruising, comfort and better fuel economy. Lets say you want to cruise at 35 mph. As soon as it passes 35 MPH, first time you set up steady speed it will always switch to 4th gear and lock up torque converter, even if the current speed more suites 3rd gear. Being in 4th gear at 35-40mph will not give you any quick acceleration or passing power. What you need is to disengage torque lock up with any known technique like releasing and pressing pedal deeper, touching brake pedal or pressing harder to downshift. He said that PCM is not even so smart to disengage torque lock up when the car is going uphill and the car start bogging down. You need to press harder to downshift or even choose lower gear manually. WOW.
It seemed to me as a lot of leg shifting and science for an automatic trany. According to him the car is OK, it is design. My only problem is that I own a Buick Century.
My understanding was that other GM products like, lets say Pontiac Grand Prix, will behave quite differently with the same engine and seemingly the same transmission due to sportier design targeted to younger people.
Comments are very welcome.
BAH! I think you got a bunch of double talk from someone who doesn't know what to advise.
I have a 2000 century and it doesn't do that. Maybe the lockup is occuring too early for you, but both Buicks ('86 & '00) I've had come out of lockup when you depress the accelerator slightly. Maybe you're going into O'drive too early. If you drive it in 3rd instead of OD does it work better? My transmission shop tech said the solenoud that drives the lockup will stick sometimes.
PS: My 2000 century has a 4T65E - Are you sure what you have there?
Sorry the EGR did not work out for you. By the way my 1998 also has the 4T60 and it does not behave as you describe (at least not anymore)
I said my 2000 century has a 4T65E, on my way home today I tried noticing when mine upshifts in each gear. It's so mmooth its hard to tell but It never went to 4th (OD) at a slower speed than 45 mph and the lockup occurred some time after that, but I'd need a tachometer to tell exactly when since its so subtle. If your lockup is happening at 35, I'd say thats too low a speed - no wonder you can't accelerate. Maybe some other century oeners can try light acceleration like I did and report the results. Any GM tech's out there who have access to official specs for minimum upshift & lockup speeds?
After consulting my Chilton's guide, it looks like Century's may come from a couple different GM plants and from the best I can tell the '99 model can have either transmission. There is only one engine oprion though 1995 - 2000, the 3.1L 160HP V6.
Sorry I was not clear. I understand that your 2000 has the 4T65E, however I just wanted to offer my experience with the 4T60, which is possibly what we are dealing with. The 4T60 can be identified by the plug location and the presence of a vacuum modulator. I just wish we could help get this car to function properly.
Just be glad you don't have an older A-body Century with the 2.5 engine and 3-speed automatic. 1-2 comes about 10-12mph, 3rd comes around 20-25mph, lockup engages between 30-35, depending on year and whether AC is on or not. Those cars cannot accelerate hardly at all in lockup until over 40mph.
My 1995 Century has the 2.2 Cavalier engine with that 3-speed automatic and is programmed slightly better. Engages lockup at 35mph under light acceleration with AC off, 40mph with AC on. I'm used to it, and sometimes I will turn on the AC if I'm driving a steady 35-39mph so it won't engage.
The 3100 is a torquey engine for its size and type, but low rpms will still cause this lag. You may consider driving in "D" (3rd gear max) when you know you won't exceed 40-45mph. I forget the AT shift pattern on the 97-up models. Should be P R N @ D 2 1, you can choose "D" until you get on freeways. If there is no "D", there may be an overdrive off button somewhere, or a "3" position which is the same as "D".
Or, with practice and experience you will determine the right amount of throttle to keep your lockup converter from engaging.
Also, a light tap on the brake (with the left foot) will disengage the lockup converter long enough for you to squeeze in a little more throttle.
I like early shifts and early lockups, because I drive relatively slowly for the best possible mileage, and unless I'm going up a hill, my 247,000 mile 4-cylinder accelerates just fine in lockup from 40mph on up to 60-70. It is a very rare (a couple times a week, and I drive 1200-1500 miles weekly) occasion when I am forced take the car out of lockup with more throttle or a tap of the brake.
In other words, it's normal. So get used to it, or try one of the suggestions offered here (like keeping out of overdrive til you're going over 40mph). Test drive a new 2004 Century, or any other mid-size 3.1/3.4 with a 4T60 GM offering (Lumina/Impala/Intrigue/GP), I'll bet it will do the same thing.
I think you may be fighting something that is normal. The manufacturer's need to eek out as much fuel economy as possible and low rpm's help them to achieve that. If you drive in 3rd gear rather than OD, you should get a little mord spirited performance. Third gear driving usually lets the ECM/TCM provide a little more aggresive shift curve.
Several days ago I test drove friends 2001 Buick Century. I could feel when it go in overdrive around 40 mph (mine do that at 35mph instantly) but it would unlock and start accelerating as soon as I slightly pressed acceleration pedal.
On the holiday weekend I drove to NC and the problem was present all the time even at speeds 70-80 mph. It felt like lack of power and hesitation especially driving even slight uphill. There is definitely something wrong. I still switching between engine problem or transmission problem question, but it is definitely a problem.
Like big says, maybe it is going in a bit early. I have a regal 4t65E with rough shifting probs, one thing I've learned is that mine learns. Over time the car modifies the way it shifts based on clutch wear and driving habits. Maybe yours learned to be slow, you can have these learned points cleared, I think it may take a while to see what comes of it... i am not expert though, it is just another direction to go in.
I have the same problem as I have read from the very top of this discussion. I have a 2001 Buick Century. I am not a "car" person, but all I know is that recently my car has had some serious acceleration problems.
I live in Bisbee, AZ, which is high in elevation. I travel to work, 60 miles round trip, and consists of extreme hill climbing. As with the first post, if I push down on the "sweet" part of the pedal the car will hesitate to accelerate. RPM go up and down down, very quickly. Also, I have noticed a drastic loss in MPG. I usually get 29 mpg, but I'm down to 26 mpg. Also, the problem seems to be getting worse. Just taking off it is starting to not want to accelerate. Also, if I push the pedal way down, as in to pass, the car will only drop into 3rd gear.
Today, I could only go 70mph; not enough to pass. :( Needless to say, I started thinking about the fuel filter (I noticed this problem in my 65 vw bus), and maybe the sparkplugs.
However, after reading the online posts, I am wonder what I should do myself. I am seriously debating seeing a mechanic, but now I am wondering if I should save my money and see what comes of this conversation.
BTW: I replaced the fuel filter about 30k miles ago. (My car has 82k)
Yeah, when my EGR went bad I could barely get to 65 mph. As I would go up over a bridge I could not maintain 65, it would slow down to 55 or so before I got to the top. Good Luck. You may need it, My Century is one problem after another.(see post in nonspecific section re: which Buick should I buy?)
Hey Roaddirt. My wife owns a 1996 pontiac bonneville which happens to have a 4t60e tranny and acts up like yours. I have done a bit of research online and have seen that the problem has been caused by the internal shift solenoids on many occasions. but try to catch it quick because, although there may be no relation, my wifes car lost 2nd 3rd and 4th, which if you look up is also caused by solenoids. apparently there is a common grounding problem with the 4t60e's. I hope that you find this helpful. replacing the torque converter while the tranny is being serviced would also be reccomended if you can budget it at the time.

CaseFactori Giveaway: iDevice Company With A Cause
Yesterday I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jon Chong the co-founder of CaseFactori, a new iDevice case company.
While Chong and fellow founder CheeKian Teng (C.K. for short) do turn out some nicely made iDevice cases, their inspiration runs a little deeper. The two have combined their love of iDevices and their passion for giving back into a single company.
Their motto: A case with a cause.
Every customer who purchases a case from CaseFactori gets to choose which charity a small portion of the proceeds goes to ($3.50 a case). As of now CaseFactori has partnered with World Vision, Love 146, E is For Ezra, Animal Welfare Institute, and the Team Fox Foundation.
In a related note check out the E is For Ezra thread one of our very own moderators posted earlier this year here.
To help promote their cause CaseFactori has been generous enough to give us 12 free cases to give away.
Usually we have readers comment on the story and then randomly choose who gets the free swag, but with all these social media tools at our fingertips we're going to try something a little different.
In order to be eligible to win readers must either:
- A. Tweet this story and tag both ModMyi (@modmyi) and CaseFactori (@casefactori)
- B. Share this story on Facebook and tag Modmyi (@modmyi.com) in the post
The twelve winners will be selected at random at the end of the day on Saturday. Each winner will get to choose between any of CaseFactori's iPad, iPod Touch, and iPhone cases. We will contact the winners, get their shipping information, what case they want, and your free swag will be on its way.
Casefactori is also running a promotion of their own up until the launch of their store on June 25 at 12 p.m. (they're giving away iPad 2's and iPod touches on launch day as well). They'll be giving a case away every hour, so check out their blog for more details.
Below are a few pictures of their iPad and iPhone cases. The cases of high-grade TPU plastic, and leather. In my time using them they proved to hold up well, and don't add a ton of bulk to the devices. These aren't OtterBox survive the Apocalypse cases, but they are well made, functional, and easy on the eyes. Plus you can rest easier knowing part of your purchase went to helping a cause greater than any iDevice.

Too bad I hate Facebook so much. My iP4 could use a new dress. Good to see companies that help still exist. If even half the companies out there donated even 1% of profit to Organizations, the world would be a way better place for everyone.

So much better than the run-of-the-mill variety By Bert on 12/6/2013Bert would recommend this product to a friendThese do the job so much better than the typical ones you find at your LFS or big box store -- finer adjustment with a larger knob that is easier to use. Great find.
Versatile By Brian on 8/30/2012Brian would recommend this product to a friendI use these to drip acclimate and I also use them to adjust the flow of my ATO system. They work well and although I would like to fine tune the adjusting knob more I know that it's hard with something that small. A great product at a great price.
Great Little Valves By Travis on 5/7/2012Travis would recommend this product to a friendThese are good little ball valves, much better than the cheap green ones you find. I bought some for drip acclimating and they work perfectly.
