Andrew Bolt
Hand that warming extremist a mirror
Andrew Bolt –, Saturday, November, 24, 2012, (4:38pm)
Robyn Williams, the ABC's chief science presenter, today decries "distortions of science" in discussing global warming.
Does he mean this kind of thing, from 2007:
Andrew Bolt: I'm telling you, there's a lot of fear out there. So what I do is, when I see an outlandish claim being made...so Tim Flannery suggesting rising seas this next century eight stories high, Professor Mike Archer, dean of engineering at the University of NSW…
Robyn Williams: Dean of science.
Andrew Bolt: Dean of science...suggesting rising seas this next century of up to 100 metres, or Al Gore six metres. When I see things like that I know these are false. You mentioned the IPCC report; that suggests, at worst on best scenarios, 59 centimetres.
Robyn Williams: Well, whether you take the surge or whether you take the actual average rise are different things.
Andrew Bolt: I ask you, Robyn, 100 metres in the next century...do you really think that?
Robyn Williams: It is possible, yes.
Funnily enough, Williams today cited in support of his warming faith the "97 per cent" - or 98 per cent - of scientist he claims are believers, too.
Fancy that, using a distortion of science to attack those he claims distort science:
So where did that famous "consensus" claim that "98% of all scientists believe in global warming" come from? It originated from an endlessly reported 2009 American Geophysical Union (AGU) survey consisting of an intentionally brief two-minute, two question online survey sent to 10,257 earth scientists by two researchers at the University of Illinois. Of the about 3.000 who responded, 82% answered "yes" to the second question, which like the first, most people I know would also have agreed with.
Then of those, only a small subset, just 77 who had been successful in getting more than half of their papers recently accepted by peer-reviewed climate science journals, were considered in their survey statistic. That "98% all scientists" referred to a laughably puny number of 75 of those 77 who answered "yes".
That anything-but-scientific survey asked two questions. The first: "When compared with pre-1800s levels, do you think that mean global temperatures have generally risen, fallen, or remained relatively constant?" Few would be expected to dispute this…the planet began thawing out of the "Little Ice Age" in the middle 19th century, predating the Industrial Revolution. (That was the coldest period since the last real Ice Age ended roughly 10,000 years ago.)
The second question asked: "Do you think human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures?" So what constitutes "significant"? Does "changing" include both cooling and warming… and for both "better" and "worse"? And which contributions…does this include land use changes, such as agriculture and deforestation?
Williams has as his chief witness for the prosecution of sceptics the incredible Professor Stephan Lewandowky, whose laughable paper has been so devastatingly critiqued by
Steve McIntyre who showed how just two fake "sceptics" answering his dodgy survey seem to have given him his claim that sceptics tended to believe even the moon landings were faked:
I'll show that these two superscammers make major contributions to the supposed "correlation". Like Lewandowsky, I don't believe that these two respondents are present "by chance": I believe that they are present as intentionally fraudulent responses.
Climate "science", the ABC sort.
Jo Nova says people who value reason should complain about this debauchery of debate and this astonishing sliming of sceptics. Hearing Williams vilify those many - including leading scientists - who doubt man is heating the world catastrophically, I can only agree this disgraces not just the ABC generally, but the Science Show in particular. Here is Williams in full shock-jock rant:
What if I told you pedophilia is good for children, or that asbestos is an excellent inhalant for those with asthmatics, or that smoking crack is a normal part and a healthy one of teenage life, to be encouraged? You'd rightly find it outrageous, but there have been similar statements coming out of inexpert mouths, distorting the science.
These distortions of science are far from trivial, our neglect of what may be clear and urgent problems could be catastrophic and now a professor of psychology at UWA has shown what he says is the basis of this unrelenting debauchery of the facts…

Disney's "Castle of Illusion" was one of the great side-scrolling games for the Sega Genesis (Mega Drive) and under-appreciated Sega Game Gear. Playing as the Disney mascot, players controlled Mickey through a series of beautifully designed levels in his quest to save Minnie Mouse from the jealous witch Mizrabel.
Recently, Sega Studios Australia revisited the game, giving the adventure a visual and musical overhaul in one of the most successful makeovers in the latest trend of revamping nostalgic classics. (We're still waiting for "The Curse of Monkey Island," Disney.)
But are HD graphics and remastered audio enough to justify the $15 asking price? Let's take a look at some of the reasons why "Castle of Illusion" may just be the perfect way to kill some downtime.
The story
It's true this story is pretty straightforward. In fact, our introduction covered about everything. Mickey and Minnie are on a picnic one day when a witch, jealous of Minnie's beauty, kidnaps her, leaving Mickey with no choice but to traverse the witch's castle and save his true love before it's too late.
It's simple, it's classic and it demonstrates the developers' strategy in bringing this classic to a new generation of gamers — there's nothing to reinvent here.
The goal of simply celebrating the 1990s classic is a charming touch, and to many nostalgic gamers, will be a welcome display of restraint. But the orthodox approach to storytelling comes with a price. This is a game that can easily be defeated in one sitting, and even if replayed to collect all the hidden cards and secret chili peppers, the game can be fully experienced in less than eight hours.
To many gamers, that will be exactly the right amount of time to stroll down memory lane. But the next generation of Mickey fans may feel a little cheated when it comes to an immersive gaming experience.
Graphics and sound
Sega has developed this version of "Illusion" from the ground up, folding into its design some truly stunning visuals and music that will make you feel like you're walking down Main Street at Disneyland. In fact, even compared to the recent Epic Mickey games, "Illusion" may be the most successful attempt at making Disney fans feel like they're controlling a classic piece of animation.
If there's a selling point to this game beyond nostalgia, it's the handfuls of eye candy you'll enjoy fighting licorice dragons and angry bookworms. All of the original 8-bit music themes are back, which will stay with you long after powering down, and anyone sitting down to enjoy the experience as a spectator will have plenty to appreciate while waiting their turn.
While some might refer to "Castle of Illusion" as a glorified mini-game, the presentation is as spectacular as any big-budget game out there.
Unfortunately, with everything Sega got right on this remake, playability suffers from over-greased controls and a sometimes-confusing 2.5D perspective.
In most cases, this plays out similar to other 2D classics like Rayman and Mario. You'll jump from platform to platform, bounce on enemy's heads and fire off level-specific ammunition acquired throughout the adventure. At the end of each section, the screen takes you into a boss-mode, which is sometimes confusing, but usually creative enough to put players in a forgiving mood.
The biggest problem with controls, however, lies in the unfamiliar response time. Jumping left or right seems to take you very left or very right, making precision landing clunky and unpredictable. You'll get used to it for most of the gameplay, but be reminded of just how frustrating it can be in pressure situations.
Age appropriateness
"Illusion" is about as family friendly as a game can be. Not only is the content appropriate for all age levels, but it's also a game almost as enjoyable to watch as it is to play. In most cases, enemies simply disappear when you land on their head, and suggestive themes and questionable language are non-factors in this E-for-everyone adventure.
If you're in the mood for a classic, side-scrolling adventure, with little time to invest, "Castle of Illusion" is an attractive option. It's not ready to compete with content-rich offerings like "Rayman Legends," but then again, at a quarter of the price, that was never its intention.
Beautiful, whimsical and a shining example to other developers looking to restore archived titles, "Illusion" is definitely worth the price of admission.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Sessions joins Sens. John McCainJohn McCainMcCain granddaughter comes out in support of Clinton With reservations, moving toward Hillary Clinton FULL SPEECH: Hillary Clinton closes out Democratic convention MORE (R-Ariz.) and Lindsey GrahamLindsey GrahamTrump: 'I hope' Russia is able to get Clinton's emails Syria activists cheer Kaine pick Vulnerable GOP senators praise Kaine MORE (R-S.C.) in opposing the sequestration of defense funding. On Monday, those two senators released a statement that said the cuts "cannot be allowed to occur."
McCain in particular has argued that the required cuts would come on top of the $350 billion in cuts that Defense already faces, and nearly $200 billion in other reductions that former Defense Secretary Robert Gates imposed.
Sessions said that the Defense Department makes up about one-sixth of the federal government, and therefore should not have to shoulder half of the $1.2 trillion sequester. McCain and Graham said they are looking for ways around these cuts, and House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon (R-Calif.) said he is preparing a bill for that purpose.

Due South with the British Antarctic Survey
A cold and windy September afternoon marks the start of the fifth Atlantic Meridional Transect (AMT) experiment aboard the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) research vessel RRS James Clark Ross. Each year the ship sails from the UK to the Falkland Islands in September en route to service the UK Antarctic research bases. Jim (our UNIX support engineer) is busy fastening down his trusty Toshiba laptop (Tecra 730XCDT with 48MB) in his cabin on board James Clark Ross in preparation for the inevitable bad weather. Ahead of us lie six weeks of precision ocean-atmosphere measurements, near real-time data processing, heated debate, troubleshooting and, hopefully, some scientific discovery. Fortunately, we have both chosen one of the most versatile and reliable operating systems at hand to maximize our output during this experiment—Linux. This article discusses the impact of Linux, which is now routinely used at BAS and during the AMT experiments. (See http://www1.npm.ac.uk/amt/ for more information on the AMT project.)
Figure 1. The British Antarctic Survey research vessel RRS James Clark Ross used for the AMT experiments (Photo: Tony Bale)
The RRS James Clark Ross (shown in Figure 1) was launched in 1990 and is one of the world's most complex marine research vessels, incorporating over 400 square meters of scientific laboratory space. It was named after the scientist and polar explorer Admiral Sir James Clark Ross, RN (1800-1862), who in February 1842 reached 78.9 degrees S—a record which remarkably stood well into the 20th century.
Figure 2 shows the track taken by the James Clark Ross during the and AMT-5 cruise superimposed on a monthly composite satellite image of Chlorophyll a derived from the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) carried on the SeaStar spacecraft. Different types of phytoplankton have characteristically different concentrations of chlorophyll and are, therefore, different in color. By measuring the color of the ocean with the SeaWiFS instrument, estimates of the amount and general type of phytoplankton in specific regions can be made as shown in Figure 2. An extensive web site provides a wealth of information on the SeaWiFS mission at http://seawifs.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEAWIFS.html.
Figure 2. Ground track of the RRS James Clark Ross during the AMT-5 experiment superimposed onto a SeaWiFS satellite composite image of Chlorophyll a. White marks regions of cloud and the arrow highlights the direction of the north equatorial current system which is pushing nutrient rich Amazon water to the north west.

The ocean-atmosphere measurements taken during the AMT cruises are fundamental for the calibration, validation and interpretation of remotely sensed observations, including sea-surface temperature, wind speed, atmospheric water vapour and ocean colour (which can be related to bio-optical processes)—all of which are vital for ongoing climate research. Figure 3 shows the instrument cluster mounted on the forward mast of the James Clark Ross which measures, among other things, sea-surface temperature (using an infrared radiometer), solar radiation, wind speed and direction, air temperature, radar backscatter (a measure of surface roughness) and humidity. All of these measurements are used to investigate the processes, occurring at the air-sea interface, which in many cases define the signal actually measured by the satellite instruments. (See http://www1.npm.ac.uk/amt/ for more information on the AMT project.)
Figure 3. Forward mast installation of the RRS James Clark Ross showing some of the radiometers and the radar system.
From a system engineer's point of view, the main requirement of an operating system is that it integrate with the existing computing infrastructure available on (in this case) BAS ships and also at Antarctic bases as well as at headquarters. Since the majority of instruments are logged to Sun SPARC workstations, it makes sense to run an OS which allows NFS mounts to the data areas the workstations create. Many users require the ability to perform data processing locally without having to place extra strain on the data-logging workstations. As most of this is undertaken using shell scripts or compiled C source code, it made sense to run a form of UNIX locally. This enables shell scripts to run with no modifications and the C code to easily recompile. Other user-driven considerations included access to backup hardware, hard-copy output, real-time data displays and access to a common library of software packages.
Figure 4. The main laboratory space occupied by the Linux workstations aboard the RRS James Clark Ross during the AMT experiments.
Upon considering these requirements, our choice was made simple: it had to be Red Hat Linux. For our purpose, Linux provides an extremely versatile operating system with the ability to effortlessly and seamlessly integrate itself efficiently into any existing network system. The immense amount of supported hardware made installation on Jim's laptop and on our desktop machines a painless exercise, and we were delighted with the way that even a default installation gave us exactly what we wanted. It is this kind of hardware support and user-friendly installation interface which caught our eye in the first place when considering various UNIX systems for Intel processors.
After unpacking our brand new PC (Intel DX 120; 32MB RAM) and removing the pre-installed OS (we did ask for Linux), the whole installation took less than an afternoon. We now had a fully working UNIX workstation configured within the James Clark Ross NIS domain, auto-mounting file systems whenever required. Jim went even further with his laptop. Using Caldera Wabi 2.0, he had the ability to run the BAS standard word processor and e-mail packages (which are MS Windows-based). Being able to do all this using free or inexpensive software proves what a professional product Linux is. Gone are the days when Linux was considered a "toy UNIX" for hackers—it is now a fully functional UNIX environment which is just as stable (if not more) as the various commercial UNIX systems on the market.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

I'm the group organizer. I have 2 dogs, both mixes. Fennec is a 5 yr., 30lb Shiba Inu/ Basenji/Shepherd something. He's independent and a work in progress. Claskey is a 3 yr., 50lb Border Collie/Greyhound something. He's a submissive momma's boy.
I have lots of ideas - many of which will hopefully come to fruition as the group grows...
I started the group as a way to be more active with my dogs, meet new people, and generally enjoy the resources the Dayton area has to offer.
I love it, but, then I may be a bit biased :)

Orlando Workers' Compensation Attorneys
In the mid 1980s, the firm focused primarily on Orlando workers' compensation lawsuits, but shortly expanded to cover other areas of personal injury practice. The Vaughan Law Group now handles a wide variety of personal injury claims including wrongful death, motor vehicle accidents, mass tort and product liability cases, bad faith insurance claims, and certain consumer fraud and class action cases.
The Orlando workers' compensation attorneys at The Vaughan Law Group have successfully litigated many claims against multi-million dollar corporations such as Disney, Universal Studios, Florida Hospital, Orlando Regional Medical Center, and more. The Vaughan Law Group is networked in with a group of skilled law firms nationwide to collectively battle large companies without being financially intimidated.
Awarded to a select few injured workers' attorneys across the nation, this prestigious award is presented to those who've exhibited exceptional representation in the workers' injury field.
The Workers' Injury Law & Advocacy Group (WILG) is a network of like-minded advocates for workers' right, sharing information and knowledge; a sense of commitment and kinship; and networking to help one another and their clients.
"We're extremely honored to be named a top attorney from the Advocacy Group," Vaughan said. "We pride ourselves on working very hard for our clients."

Kruger National Park warns against false representation
Date: 2013-08-16
There is phishing email circulating around, from an address email@example.com with a job application form that has a South African National Parks logo attached. The source/s sending the email urges recipients to apply for a job in the Kruger National Park (KNP), giving them details of where and when in the Park; the field training would take place if one has been selected. Of much concern is that the email states that the successful candidates would need to pay a rental fee of R600 which includes breakfast and supper.
"We would like to warn the public to be on the look-out for people claiming to represent the South African National Parks (SANParks), in particular the KNP by offering job opportunities. SANParks has its own established channels in place of dealing with recruitment and placement at no charge," said the General Manager, Communications and Marketing, William Mabasa.
These fraudulent sources do not address the email recipient by name nor provide their contact details e.g. residential address, telephone number, business registration number except the email address firstname.lastname@example.com; wherein the candidates should submit the required documents, including proof of payment.
This scam comes at a time when the Park is in a process of selecting and training 122 security guards. "Those who apply for any advertised position in the Park and are successful should please note that they will only be contacted by relevant HR officials who will identify themselves via telephone; and not through email. To verify issues of employment in the KNP, the public can call 013 735 4127 and ask to speak to the HR Helpdesk Official.
Mabasa further warned everybody to check the credentials of the person/s who claim to be SANParks/KNP before contributing anything of monetary value to them.

Hockey Players Suspended But Not For Fighting
It looked like two players in the Federal Hockey League were going to fight. Instead, they hugged and pulled out a beer. Cool stunt, except for the league suspended them.
Good morning. I'm David Greene. Hockey fans know the moment well when two players stare each other down, skating around until they're in position. Gloves drop, punches fly. Well, in a recent game in the lesser known Federal Hockey League things went differently. A player for the Danville Dashers seemed ready to go at it with his opponent from the Dayton Demons. Instead, the two men hugged one another.
One reached into his sock, pulled out a beer, and toasted the crowd. Cool stunt - except for the league which suspended both of them. It's MORNING EDITION.

Know Your Ingredients: Aloe Vera
As people with extraordinarily elaborate skin-care routines, we pride ourselves on using products with the most effective ingredients around. Of course, this involves actually knowing what those ingredients are. And, boy, are there a lot of ingredients out there. In Know Your Ingredients, our ongoing series, we'll be decoding the many oils, acids, extracts, and more that appear in our favorite products.
Aloe vera is one ingredient we probably think we know everything about, especially around this time of the year. But, this plant's legacy is quite long and celebrated — and not just for being a sunburn savior. The ancient Egyptians actually deemed this guy "the plant of immortality" and would use the leaves' secretions to treat wounds, burns, and fevers. Aloe was also consumed to promote healthy digestion and relieve joint pain. Another interesting fact? Aloe is actually the only known remedy for radiation burns.
But, this miracle plant does more than just take your burn from blistering to bearable — it's actually key when it comes to skin care in general. "It creates a protective barrier for the skin to allow for healing, and it helps the skin replenish and retain moisture," says Madison Ruggieri, creator of Buckler's Remedies skin-care line. She says aloe contains two hormones — auxin and gibberellin. "This duo reduces skin inflammation and promotes speedy healing to acne without scarring," she says.
Acneic skin isn't the only type that can benefit from a little aloe vera love. "Sensitive, dry skin that's prone to redness would benefit from aloe," Ruggieri says. Aloe in a moisturizer is also great for oily complexions since it doesn't leave a greasy sheen to the face. "Aloe contains beta carotene and vitamins C and E, which all help fight signs of aging and promote skin elasticity," she says.
Ruggieri even says aloe should be incorporated into skin-care regimens daily because of its moisturizing benefits. "People tend to only think of aloe in terms of post-sun treatment, but skin gets dry, irritated, or broken out all the time," she says. "Aloe soothes and treats those daily irritations — from smog to sun to shaving, and everything in between."
While aloe gel directly from the plant itself is going to be the most effective, the gel itself can have a sticky, tacky feel when applied directly to the face. So, if you're not keen on that texture, try mixing a dab of gel in with your regular moisturizer. Or, better yet: Pick up a product that already has aloe incorporated into the ingredients. In particular, Ruggieri suggests looking for moisturizers, eye creams, after-shaves, shaving creams, and face masks. "Pretty much any product that you would use to fight against skin redness or irritation would benefit from aloe," she says.
Basically, this is one wonder plant you want in your regimen — stat.

Premiums To Remain Stable for Most Under Health Reform
Most Americans would not see much change in the cost of their insurance premiums as a result of the health care legislation pending in Congress, according to a widely awaited budget analysis. But millions of people who buy insurance on their own, rather than through work, could see higher costs, a fact that could become fodder for health reform critics.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office released a study Monday that found the cost of insurance premiums for the nearly 80% of people who receive insurance through work or other group policies would remain stable or slightly fall by 2016, as compared to projections of premium prices under current law.
The majority of the rest of insured Americans who buy so-called "individual insurance" would see an increase between 10 percent to 13 percent, partly because the benefits in their new plans would be richer under the current legislation. With government subsidies proposed under the plan, up to half of them could see as much as 59 percent lower costs than is now the case.
An estimated 16% of Americans have no health coverage today and many would receive insurance under the proposed reform plans.
