Now, let's get down to the nitty-gritty. Yesterday, I posted about the somewhat "up-in-the-air" nature of positive and negative feedback mechanisms in relationship to our environment and climate change. If you need to catch up or would like to read it, just go back to my blog directory and go for it.
One of the most important positive feedback mechanisms, and also one of the least understood, regards the oceans. You see, the biggest storage of CO2 on our planet is actually in the oceans. The ocean absorbs CO2 at a rate many, many times faster than the atmosphere does. Thus, the interaction of the atmosphere with the ocean is imperative to counteract the amount of CO2 we are putting into the atmosphere via burning of fossil fuels. But, there is a caveat. It seems as though the ocean absorbs less and less CO2 for every degree of temperature rise. So, the positive feedback mechanism I stated above should become apparent. Rising temperatures---->less CO2 absorption by ocean---->more CO2 in atmosphere---->rising temperatures---->less CO2 absorption by ocean...and the cycle continues.
This positive feedback mechanism has always assumed and some climate models have even implemented it in one way or another. Note that I said some climate models. Other models have omitted the mechanism possibly because it wasn't fully understood, possibly because it wasn't included in one of the goals of the model. Who knows? You would have to ask each particular model author.
The other question regarding the feedback has to do with the actual decay of the absorption with rising temperatures. That is, how fast is the decay? Is it cut in half with a one degree rise in temperature? Does it go down only by a few parts per million? Complicating an already complicated idea is the fact that as temperatures rise, vegetation (trees, bushes, etc.) take in less atmospheric CO2. With rising temperatures, trees tend to "breath" less efficiently and decay quicker. Decaying trees release CO2 into the air as well. So, taking this all in, past models have set the value of natural ecosystem CO2 increase per degree Celsius of warming at nearly 40 parts per million (ppm). To translate, that means that every time temperatures increase by one degree Celsius, the naturual ecosystem (oceans and vegetation) allow 40 more molecules of CO2 per million parts of air to go back into the atmosphere. That is a very high number and should be alarming.
But, is it a correct number? Who came up with the number? A new study published in Nature tries to tweak this number. The conclusion of the international study was that this number of 40 ppm should be revised downward...to 7.7 ppm. This is significant. For every degree of Celsius warming, the natural ecosystem does not put 40 ppm of CO2 into the air, but only 7.7 ppm?
Well, if you read that article, the headline and conclusion of the study are confusing. The headline states, "Temperature and CO2 feedback 'weaker than thought'". The number the study comes up with is 7.7 ppm, but the actually range is set somewhere "between 1.7 and 21.4 parts per million." So, whatever the actual number could be, it could be as high as 21.4 ppm.
Also, even if the real magic number is 7.7 ppm it might not be that significant. As I stated earlier, some climate models include this carbon cycle while others do not, yet nearly all show significant warming. So, I find the most important quote in the article to be:
"It might lead to a downward mean revision of those (climate) models which already include the carbon cycle, but an upward revision in those which do not include the carbon cycle."
So, everything is a wash. Those that did include the cycle may be trended downward (by still warming), while those did not have the cycle will be revised warmer. While this may be something skeptics will latch on to, in the end it doesn't really mean anything in the final argument. We need to know more about the interaction with the ocean and the atmosphere.

I will be the first to admit that Global Warming science is far from clear-cut. There are many things we simply do not know and many other things that are barely known. Having said that, I am firmly on the side of the argument that says humans are the main cause of climate change. Even if I wasn't, simply logic would put me in the mindset that we should wean ourselves from dirty oil and start to gobble up cheaper alternative fuels right now. I find it absolutely ludicrous that with all of our technology we can't seem to harvest the energy from the sun.
As I watched the State of the Union last night, President Obama said it best when he mentioned that we all don't have to agree about the science of global warming to agree that a switch to alternative energy will benefit our country enormously. Cheaper energy, more jobs, cleaner skies. Who in the world can argue with that?
One of the most complicated areas of the Global Warming debate to understand is feedback mechanisms. Basically, there are two types of feedback mechanisms...positive and negative. A positive feedback is where a change in the system only acts to reinforce that change. For instance, a classic positive feedback would be...rising temperatures---->more evaporation---->more water vapor in the atmosphere (greenhouse gas)---->rising temperatures---->more evaporation.....you get the point. Another positive feedback would be rising temperatures---->ice melts--->more solar radiation---->rising temperatures. As you can see, this type of feedback can be very important to pay attention to when a scientist looks at Global Warmings.
A negative feedback can be looked at like Earth's checks and balances. An example of a negative feedback would be rising temperatures---->ice melting--->more area for vegetation---->vegetation takes CO2 out of atmosphere---->temperatures lower. Another negative feedback would be rising temperatures---->Earth emits more radiation (by definition)---->temperatures moderate.
It does not take a scientist to take the above examples, compare them, and realize that they are interrelated. So the question is, which one wins? That is, if the positive feedbacks prevail, then Global Warming is like a runaway train that is difficult to slow down. If the negative feedbacks win, then it goes to show that Earth acts like a living organism in itself, constantly checking in on itself and correcting what needs to be corrected.
I can hear the skeptics now. "See, Mr. Shaun, the Global Warming argument is way too complex to form a single conclusion." And once again I will prevent to you our only current home, Earth. It is a lovely place that we are currently performing an unchecked experiment. Plus, I ask the skeptics, do you enjoy living in dirty cities and breathing dirty air? Why not just clean up the air with solar energy and appease the annoying "Global Warming alarmists"?
More on this tomorrow...

The link to the WunderCast Competition is here.
For the first time this forecasting period, Redding is being allowed to dry out. No rain has fallen and the temperature have almost reached 60 degrees.
And, it's official. Consensus is now in first place overall for the contest. Although if weatherguy continues to target Redding, he might take over first place quickly.
I thought I would take a moment to feature one of my favorite webcams here on the site. My family enjoys going up to Lake Tahoe several times a year, and the webcam by muckfish gives a good indication on what the weather is currently like. I enjoy the webcam because it overlooks Lake Tahoe and you can really see when it is snowing hard or the wind is picking up. Look at the video here to see what I mean.
That begs the question, what is your favorite webcam?

The link to the WunderCast Competition is here.
Well, the second week of forecasting for KRDD is underway and we are officially halfway through the competition. So, the halfway point leader is beell, and he is the only competitor who is beating consensus. Consensus is once again doing well in KRDD, with only 5 people beating it.
So, let's finish up KRDD strong. Measurable precipitation has already fallen on the airport today, so if you didn't forecast rain, shame on you! With overcast skies and a weak January sun, expect only minimal daytime warming on Tuesday.
California will get a break from the recent wet weather that has brought both good news and bad news to the state. The good news is that many areas are well above average for precipitation this time of year. The bad news is that it has caused damaged and even some deaths. On Friday, a large Maple tree collapsed on a truck parked outside a San Jose home, killing a toddler and hurting his parents. Upon inspection, the tree was rotted inside and most likely collapsed when the soil around it became saturated from the downpours the city has experienced the last week. So, the ground should dry out over the next week as a ridge of high pressure builds over the West Coast.

Being an all-knowing meteorologist here at the Weather Underground, I get asked a lot of weather-related questions. This is especially true when California is getting pounded by storm after storm after storm...after...storm. Usually, the questions are in the form of "when will it stop raining?" You see, us Californians are a picky bunch. Many of us live here specifically for the weather, so it is logical that when it rains for more than 2 straight hours some people get a little antsy. Will it ever stop raining? What if my pet poodle will float away? Okay, so that is a tiny bit of hyperbole, but a co-worker asked me when it would stop raining the other day. My response was, "after 40 days and 40 nights."
Truth is, this rain is good...really good. The state has been on the verge of a monstrously bad drought for the past few years (Figure 1) and the more rain that falls, the better. Better yet, the more snow that falls in the mountains, the better. That water will eventually melt, flow down the slopes of the Sierra Nevadas and into the reservoirs that store the water that people drink, and more importantly, waters the crops that most of America eats. Yes, this is why people in the East should care about drought in the West just as much as the people living here. The crops in the Central Valley feed much of the country, and drought there affects the whole country, like it or not. So, let's hope it rains for many more days (maybe not 40 days and 40 nights).
The snow depths throughout the Sierra Nevadas are showing healthy, but not spectacular numbers. They range from 33 inches to over 100 inches in the highest locations, with 51 inches on the ground in Tahoe City.
Precipitation averages currently vary wildly with region. For instance, KCQT (Downtown Los Angeles) is close to double its to date average at 9.34 inches, and KSAN (San Diego) is also above its to date average at 5.38 inches since July 1st. Likewise above average is San Jose at 8.82 inches, SFO Airport at 11.34 inches, and Fresno at 5.96 inches, among others.
Farther to the east, Phoenix recorded 1.33 inches just yesterday, making up the bulk of its year to date number of 2.21 inches. This is important to note because most of KPHX's precipitation comes in Summer.
I know what you are thinking..."but, Mr. Meteorologist, what about the mudslides in Southern California and the flooding wherever else?" Well, having family members in potentially "mudslidy" places, I am concerned about it as well. Heck, I had to once again pump out my backyard because the ever-expanding pool of water was creeping toward my backdoor. Poor me! But these dangers occur ever year and so far the mountains and hills have largely held. As long as the experts and residents stay vigilant, the good far outweighs the bad at this point. And just to prove I acknowledge some damage that has been done, I have attached some WunderPhotos taken during the storm.
When Will It Stop?
If you look at the current radar map (Figure 2) you will most likely see that California and the rest of the hard-hit West is experiencing mostly showery activity so far. So, if you lost your toy poodle, you can go look for it now. The good news is that this showery weather will decrease throughout the day on Saturday. California will be on the backside of a very large trough of low pressure (Figure 3) with the most active weather shifting to the Plains. The even better news is that more rain is on the way!
Late Sunday, another powerful Pacific storm will slam into the Northwest coast, north of where this week's weather punished the coat (Figure 4). You can see this next storm lined up in the Pacific in the most recent satellite image. Take a look!

Well, I am back from the AMS conference after a little bit of a delay getting into SFO Airport due to the bad weather back here in California. But the good news is that I didn't have anybody sitting next to me on the airplane, so...more leg room for me!
Redding has been exciting if only for the amount of precipitation that has fallen. So far, 2.79 inches of rain has fallen on the airport, boosting the precipitation to date from 56% of normal to 72% or normal. Good thing, but still a long way to go to get the regional and statewide areas out of the drought that the area is threatened with.
It has already rained in Redding today and I am betting most of you predicted this anyway, so it will most likely all be a wash (both literally and figuratively). Temperatures have been mostly flat but expect a bit of warming as the day progresses.
Major Storms Strike California
The parade of storms that have slammed into the state over the past week has shifted to the south today. I was standing in my house the other day installing some recessed lighting (not the best thing to do during a lightning storm), when a lightning bolt struck probably a few blocks away. I initially thought the spark of light was from saw I was holding, but was quickly corrected when the large boom shook the house. This is not typical weather for California, but the state is being greeted with ample lightning, tons of rain, and even a few Tornado Warnings. Being the family meteorologist, my sister called me in a frantic yesterday when a Tornado Warning was posted for Santa Clara County. I had to reassure here that the storm cell the NWS was tracking was just to the south. You see, us here in California are not used to the sky lighting up with electricity.
As I said, the very active weather has shifted to the south. One look at the jet stream map (Figure 1) will tell you why. The jet stream has shifted well to the south, with aim directly at Los Angeles and San Diego. This has translated to a rainbow of severe weather alerts (Figure 2) including High Wind Warnings, Flood Watches, and even Winter Storm Warnings. With the amount of red ink on the San Diego forecast page, you would think somebody got shot. But, no, just warning people in the area.
I love this type of weather.

Sorry for the late update. I am at the AMS conference in Atlanta and just got a chance to check on the competition. Congratulations to all and let's move on to Redding.
The link for WunderCast is here.
I want all of you to give a warm, hearty goodbye kiss to Burlington and its chilly airport, KBTV. I hope you all have learned something by forecasting for this Northeastern city and I believe it has been a success. I am glad I picked it and I hope Redding, CA will be just as good.
Two people have scrambled up the rankings to top consensus in the latest scores. Can they hold on one more day to beat this scoring beast? Only time shall tell.
The overcast skies over Burlington has really hampered both radiational cooling before the sun came up and daytime heating after the sun peaked over the horizon. Thus, we have mainly flat temperatures that might bust a lot of temperatures. I can feel the tension and bragging rights in the air. Can you feel it?
As if the atmosphere knew we are coming to California next week, a major weather pattern shift is set for the West Coast. This will mean very much-needed precipitation for the Golden State and the NWS has issued a Special Weather Statement to handle this change.
Watch the wind when making your forecast for Tuesday. And also know where KRDD is, it could make a huge difference.

Well, it's official. Consensus is now in first place in the contest. Usually, beating consensus would be considered good. But what happens when consensus beats everyone? Is that good or bad? The reason consensus is winning is because it is correctly hedging its own bets on the precipitation field. What this means is that enough participants are hedging their bets to push the consensus value below the 100% and above the 0% that most people are doing. Thus, it doesn't get dinged the full points when it does or doesn't precipitate while other "smart" competitors get dinged the full amount because they chose not to hedge. I find it fairly interesting what is going on. Consensus has fairly large lead so we'll see if anybody can catch it.
The warmup that we all expected has arrived today with a look at the hourly temperatures. The national temperature map (Figure 1) shows a vastly different map than just a week ago when the historical Arctic outbreak was underway. But note that Burlington is still in some of the coldest air in the country. The chance of snow comes back tomorrow, but only at a low percentage.
I am glad I chose a California city for the second city in the competition. It turns out there is expected to be a parade of storms into the West Coast for pretty much the entirety of next week. Don't believe me? Just look at the Special Weather Statement the NWS has already posted. When a NWS office in California issues a Special Weather Statement, pay attention. Anyway...Redding (KRDD) starts Tuesday!

I find this version of the WunderCast Competition the most compelling yet. First, only two people are beating consensus at the moment. This means that consensus is doing quite well. As can be expected, forecasts are considerably better when you have an array of people collaborating.
Second is the precipitation in Burlington. Prior to this competition and throughout the previous competitions, the biggest complaint was with the precipitation field. The complaints said that the probability of precipitation aspect of the competition was to easy. Most people would either put 100% or 0% and get all of none of the points. In other words, nobody ever chose anything in between.
Now, look at what is happening. Suddenly, we are in a town where we have had some very hard days to forecast in terms of precipitation. On those days, those who chose to hedge their bets have come out smelling like a rose. Also, even the top performers have made mistakes on precipitation forecasting. So, in all, Burlington has been a success in that it has been very hard to forecast for.
Temperatures dipped below zero this morning if you look at the hourly reports. It is still cool there, so we will see how much it warms up. The "warm" air is still farther to the south so I doubt it will show up before the end of the day.
No measurable precipitation yet though.
By: shauntanner, 11:21 PM GMT on January 12, 2010
Let me start where I always should start, but putting the link to the WunderCast Competition, here, and here (http://www.wunderground.com/wundercast).
Unofficially, it precipitated in Burlington today! You can see the hourly temperatures by going here. Note the measurable precipitation between noon and 1 p.m. So, we'll wait for the official climate report to come out, but for now it looks as though it will verify. In addition, it looks like the temperatures dropped to the low 10's this morning, which is still slightly above average for the morning low.
The cold pool of air will finally pull out of the Northeast Wednesday and into Thursday, leaving Wednesday as the "last" cold day of this forecast period. So, the question will be, how good is your transition forecasting? That is, there will be a considerable warmup on Thursday (heck, it might almost be above freezing, exciting!) and forecasting-wise transition periods are traditionally hard to forecast. Models sometimes over- or underestimate transition periods. I am interested to see how people handle this situation.
If you may or may not remember, the Norwegian sky lit up early last month with a wild-looking spiral that lasted several minutes and had many people wondering when the Aliens were going to come and make us into their slaves. The spiral looked like this and you can see it spinning in various YouTube videos like this. While this spiral was very beautiful and mysterious, the real cause was far from anything otherworldly. It turns out this was a failed Russian missile launch that Russia admitted to soon afterward. Still, it was stunning.
I thought the incident was old news until a co-worker passed this article that states, no, in fact the United States was the cause of this spiral. Apparently, what really happened according to the Pakistan Daily was the United States fired a high-energy bean into the sky from its "High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program." This beam, in turn, caused tremendous disturbances in the lower atmosphere and created the most recent Arctic air outbreak in the Northern Hemisphere. Forget the most obvious and reality-driven reasons like southern jet stream penetration and the fact that the Northern Hemisphere is in winter. No, instead, the real reason is the United States shot up a high-energy beam into the exosphere and it somehow created a well-organized spiral of light to occur in Norway that, in turn, caused temperatures to plummet throughout the Northern Hemisphere. What's more, ignore the fact that Russia admitted to the spiral as being a failed missile launch. Apparently, the United States has naked pictures of Russia and decided to force it to admit to the spiral as being their own.

Well, I found out a way to get more people to comment on this blog and WunderCast. All I have to do is update my blog late, then I get all kinds of speculation comments. I like it!
As I have stated in the official rules, I am bound to record the data only from the official climate reports. Thus, some of you have noted that the climate report did record 0.1 inches of snow fell yesterday. However, for whatever reason (station melter not working, bad reporting, etc.), only a Trace of precipitation was reported. Thus, the official recording for precipitation yesterday is "0". Perhaps that 0.1 inches of snow melted to a trace of precipitation. It is entirely possible.
Temperatures so far today are mainly flat, but much cooler than they have been this past week. Also, once again, there has been several reports of light snow (remember the "-SN" we talked about yesterday) so let's see what that melts down to.
The second and last week of Burlington is next week, Tuesday through Friday, so do not forget to make your forecasts on Monday sometime. The middle of next week looks to be interesting as another blast of cold, Arctic air make skirt New England from the north.
Have a good weekend everyone.

The second day of the WunderCast competition is complete and you can see the ongoing results here. It is also not too late to register if you want to join in on the fun.
Well, I am happy to see that I rose in the rankings overnight. Consensus is still in a strong position with only 3 people scoring better than it.
For those of you hoping for a measurable amount of precipitation, you barely missed out yesterday. Light snow did fall yesterday, but not enough to squeeze out a measurable amount. Don't believe me? Just look at the proof. If you have the full METAR option turned on (at the bottom of the page), then you will see multiple METARs with the item "-SN". This decodes to "light snow", with the "SN" meaning snow and the "-" meaning light. Further, on those same METARs you will see "P0000". This is the precipitation indicator where "P" means "precipitation." The "0000" means 0.00 inches of precipitation fell. In other words, some precipitation fell, but not enough to trip the 0.01 inch precipitation bucket. Thus, a measurable amount of precipitation did NOT fall yesterday.
If you look at the METAR history for today you will see the same thing has happened today. There has been several observations with a trace of snow. Let's see if any more gets squeaked out today.
It looks like the extremely cold days will not be forecast competition days as the cold air will hold off until the weekend. Nonetheless, Friday looks to be another cold day as the minimum temperature may be somewhat lower than it has been the last couple of days.
You might want to look carefully at the snow chances for tomorrow. The hourly forecast shows a slightly elevated probability of precipitation on Friday. This as the main cold pool along with main low pressure system enters the Northeast on its approach to the weekend.
What will your forecast be?
By: shauntanner, 6:50 PM GMT on January 06, 2010
The first day of the WunderCast competition is complete and only one person scored better than the consensus with a few people scoring just as good. This means that the consensus value was really good for the first day, which should be expected. The more heads you have to make a forecast, the better the forecast usually is.
Another chilly day is happening right now at the airport there in Burlington, VT. Temperatures have been pretty much flat to 1 p.m. with only a trace of snow. Just a reminder, measurable precipitation has to fall in order for the it to count as official precipitation in the contest. Thus far, no measurable precipitation has fallen at the airport today, so it will not be counted. Wind has picked up from the northwest, which is not the correct direction you want the wind to blow if you are looking for a warm-up.
The models continue to show little relief to the frigid temperatures in Burlington for the next several days. This should be no surprise when you look at Figure 1. If you want to further astound yourself, go to the models and look at the 850 mb temperatures on Saturday. You will see extremely cold temperatures as far south as the Gulf Coast and will threaten crops throughout the Southeast and in Florida.
The hourly forecast shows flat temperatuers once again, but the truly frigid air will remain to the west in the Plains and Mississippi Valley for another day. The scary chance of snow will remain, so take a risk as you may.

By: shauntanner, 7:17 PM GMT on January 05, 2010
Well, for those of you who have registered for the WunderCast competition but did not make your forecasts for today...WAKE UP!
If you forgot to register for WunderCast, you can still do so by going here. That is also the link to see the current standings as the competition goes on.
The competition is underway with Day 1 in Burlington, Vermont (KBTV). By monitoring the hourly temperatures, you can see that it is chilly at the airport today with a low of 15 degrees and a high of 21 degrees by 2:00 p.m. Tuesday. The snow forecast has already been confirmed, however, as it has indeed snowed.
What is tomorrow expected to bring?
Well, with the cold outbreak in the eastern half of the country ongoing, you can expect more cold temperatures for Burlington. One look at the 850 mb temperatures for Wednesday (Figure 1) shows that cold air will remain entrenched over the East, with the most significant outbreak in the Plains and Rockies.
Actually, the most difficult part about Wednesday's forecast will be the precipitation. The NWS forecast of 30% chance of precipitation is not much help, and when you have cold air over an area for an extended amount of time, it is common to squeeze out just enough snow or other precipitation to tip the bucket. And a tipped bucket is all you need to spoil your forecast.
The hourly forecast is not much help either as it shows basically stagnant temperatures with a 30-40% chance of snow throughout the day. My bones tell me that the chance of precipitation should be higher.

Xbox Live Service Alert: Social Features and Battlefield 4 Achievement Affected
Written Thursday, December 05, 2013 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
Microsoft has updated its Xbox Live Status page, reporting issues with some social features, as well as a borked Battlefield 4 achievement on Xbox One.
According to the update, some Xbox One users may be experiencing difficulties "Posting game performance or viewing the performance of other Xbox Live members."
Additionally, Microsoft is also reporting that the I'm Loving It achievement in the Xbox One version of Battlefield 4 is screwed. As we already knew.
"Have you experienced issues unlocking the I'm Loving It achievement in Battlefield 4?" reads the update.
"We want you to know our team is on it and we're working hard to find a fix. Your patience is greatly appreciated! We will provide an update when more information is available."
Battlefield 4 hasn't had the smoothest of launches. In fact, its post-release issues have been so extensive that EA has postponed work on the game's planned add-ons, in an attempt to get it working properly again. More on that through here.

Dr. Larry Appel Reports Weight Loss Findings in NEJM
In an article published today in the New England Journal of Medicine, Welch Center Director Lawrence Appel, MD, MPH, and co-researchers on the Power Trial report that a weight loss program supported by telephone calls to participants along with an interactive website and email messages was as effective in helping participants to lose weight and keep it off over a two-year period as an intervention that relied on face-to-face conferences between participants and counselors. This comparative effectiveness finding has the potential to point the way to successful weight-loss initiatives that are far less expensive and easier to conduct, yet equally effective as those previously known to yield positive results. The Bloomberg School of Public Health is issuing a press release today detailing the results of the research.
Other members of the Welch Center who were coauthors of the study were core faculty members Jeanne Clark, MD, MPH, Hsin-Chieh Jessica Yeh, PhD, Nae-Yuh Wang, PhD, Gail Daumit, MD, MHS, Edgar (Pete) Miller, MD, PhD, and last-named author Frederick Brancati, MD, MHS; research associates Jeanne Charleston, RN, and Arlene Dalcin, RD, and senior programmer/ analyst Nowella Durkin.
Dr. Appel will speak on the findings of the study at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions in Orlando, FL, this week. The slides from Dr. Appel's presentation may be seen here.

Skip to comments.Obama's Army Only 85% Ready To Fight
Posted on 02/03/2014 9:58:40 AM PST by raptor22
Defense: Budget cuts, sequestration and indifference to maintaining what was once "the arsenal of democracy" have led to units that are not deployment-ready and soldiers with weapons their grandfathers could have used.
The standing ovation given at the State of the Union to Sgt. 1st Class Cory Remsburg, seriously wounded in an Afghan war that his commander in chief did not believe was winnable, was well deserved.
It also served as a tribute to all the heroes we send into battle, particularly under rules of engagement that often make the proverbial "one hand tied behind your back" a preferable option.
The Iraq and Afghan wars have taken a toll not only in the human terms of our wounded warriors but also on the weapons and training they need to fight. Compounded by a president hostile to military preparedness and unwilling to make the necessary commitment to it, we have a military tired, worn out and unprepared.
Gen. Bob Scales, a retired U.S. Army major general and former commandant of the U.S. Army War College who is now a military analyst for Fox News, told Greta Van Susteren the day after the State of the Union of the sad state of U.S. military preparedness and expressed a fear it would lead to more Cory Remsburgs.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.investors.com ...
The 85% also is a good number reflecting the military attitude that the Dork-in-Chief is slime.
But they are professional (look it up, MSM and congresscritters).
They will continue to salute and obey.
For a while.
Higher estimate than I would have thought.
That's a suprisingly high number considering all the pregnent females, Affirmative Action promotions, gays swapping HIV viruses, money being wasted on "green" foolishness and other leftist idiocy.
with the rules of engagement the way they are—I am surprised the figure is that high.
It sounds like we are back to where we were when I joined back in 1975. Nothing but a somewhat hollow force.
Try 1972 when I joined.
How many times do we have to tell the stupid media, "IT IS NOT OBAMAS ARMY, IT IS OUR ARMY". He only gets to USE our army as he so pleases WHILE he is in office. Once he is GONE (the sooner the better) that "army" stays with the American people. The only thing odumbo has done to OUR ARMY is to have pulled some of their teeth by defunding, eliminating leadership, introducing gays and the list goes on and on. DAMN HIM!
"leftist idiocy" Speak of the PC devil.
In the process of doing a CAF "Resiliency Training Day" today. This morning during the Commander's call, I heard a captain saying the word partner before spouse and it caught my attention. Even in gay "marriages" shouldn't the other person still be the spouse? He also used husband, wife, and significant other in the same sentence. Isn't a husband a husband, and a wife a wife, even if it's a gay couple in a marriage?
One more year and I'm out.
Huh? Headline says 85% ready but article states 85% not ready.
It is sad to see our great military being converted by Obama and other politicians into another leftist/progressive social agency.
This change began in the Clinton era but Obama has brought it to a level the Clintons only dreamed of.
And all the while congress either just stood by or was comlicit in other ways.
I worked for the Army for decades. One thing that stood out, the quality of the personnel and especially the career NCO's was much improved over those I encountered while on active duty during the Viet Nam era. The AVF after some very rocky early years really did produce the opposite of what critics and pundits predicted, a large, high quality volunteer military establishment. Unfortunately the endless and seemingly purposeless nature of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan has created a fatigued and nearly exhausted Army and tired USMC. Also, while most soldiers are professional and outstanding, there are too many disturbing characters in uniform. This is another effect of apparently interminable combat missions. The Army in particular has often had to accept what was available in enlistees. The last time I was at Ft Bragg and Ft. Hood before I retired in 2007 it seemed to me every fifth soldier or so was an individual I would have found uneasy to be alone with on a street. This is not disrespect to the armed forces , but a reflection on what the consequences of the game playing, pecuniary interests and incoherent thinking those who call themselves our national leadership have inflicted on the ground combat forces.
The real issue is the traitors themselves leak these facts. We don't need snowden we have commiebama.
That, right there is unadulterated BS. The military has gotten everything they wanted, and many things they don't want, over the past 10 years. The military has spent funds like drunken children with their parents credit card.
Gen. Bob Scales, a retired U.S. Army major general and former commandant of the U.S. Army War College who is now a military analyst for Fox News~ Another G.O. looking for his 15 minutes of fame in civilian life.
I also need to ask: If the Army has been in combat for the past 13 years, how is it that 85% of it's brigades are not combat ready? This guy is a dipwad.
The military is more concerned about green, homosexual, racial diversity or women's initiatives than fighting and winning a war right now.
Sad, but these massive vacillation are no new phenomena: post WWII, Vietnam, Cold War...
It was all evident what was going to happen the same year he came into office and killed: Zumwald, F22, FCS and cut missile defense. Those decisions flew out of the Oval Office in the first days and the final announcements were made within months to a year there after...
They will cut on the soldiers, all awhile they will pretend to care for him: health care, retirements, GI Bill, pay, housing, Tuition Assistance while on active duty...
I suppose the military will become important again once we need it. Let's all hope that whatever they face they can deal with even after this era of slow financial bleed, personnel cuts, political purges, apathetic and disconnected political leadership in the Oval Office, and social experimentation among their ranks. These sort of things all combined can break a military very quickly, more so than any war in Iraq ever could which will be the political excuse if they do run into any bumps within the next few years.
And where is the critical, investigative, watch dog media in this?
They have a chest full of ribbons and maybe only 5 or 6 of them mean anything. They have masters degrees they get for attending BS service schools. Half of them have their under grad in some mushy soft science, few actually lead by example... Seriously, many of them are not the mental heavy weights one would expect because the DoD grooms and promotes people that fit a certain mold, they promote people based on their performance as company grade or lower field grade officers, which is tactical, but that doesn't really include the intelligence, mental agility or any sort of strategic thinking capacity that you might want from someone in the higher ranks. But- most of them can run fairly well (sarcasm)
What there is no lack of, is ego, narcissism, self ingratiation, a willingness to sacrifice anyone and any principal for ones own career. The urge to show power and have others bow down to the king, that they have a lot of. Realize, most of these folks didn't stumble into that position, and they had stars in their brain for many years. Most of them are ate up with themselves and they all like to write a book when they retire because the world should really hear what they have to say.
Probably 1/2 the generals in our military do not deserve to have anyone's kids under their command and frankly when dealing with COLs it's not much different.
The real cream of the crop they lose early on. The engineer who has opportunities elsewhere, these are the guys that get out once their time is up (ROTC/Academy commitment), and the so called best of the best are the ones with the history degrees simply willing to do "anything" and sacrifice anyone that stick around long enough to eventually get promoted.

November ski area openings?
Anyone have info on any ski areas opening up around the lake tahoe area on or before Nov. 12/13? Going to be in Tracy, CA for work that weekend and would love to ride if something is going to be open.
I think mammoth will be your best bet.
I believe they have their opening day set at nov. 10th or earlier with sufficient snowfall.
Tahoe is not famous for early openings, just doesn't coincide with the weather. Most west coast mountains typically don't open until Thanksgiving at the earliest.
Almost every resort in Tahoe opens mid to end of November, I rode northstar last year on opening day and I think it was the 18th.
Sometimes those openings are more motivated by $$$ then snowpack though. Adds a whole new meaning to the white ribbon of death.
Last year I was riding 3 feet of pow when they opened, but some resorts still waited a week or so later to open, it just depends on the season, but most places open the week of thanksgiving sometime.
would love to ride mammoth as i used to work there but its a nice ride from where i am compared to tahoe. was hoping la nina would bring early season openings this year and have never been to the tahoe area. saw something that said Boreal was opeing around the 10th as well?? anyone know if this is accurate?
N*, Heavenly, Boreal just turned on their snow makers. Don't know when they plan to open. I think out of those 3 Boreal is the only one with a chance of opening before the date you mentioned. Unless the sky opens and dumps....
looks like i might be making a long trip to mammoth
Good news for you, possible storm gates opening up Nov 6-9.

FORT WORTH, TX—In light of Monday's news regarding Zillow Inc. acquiring Trulia Inc. for $3.5 billion in a stock-for-stock transaction, GlobeSt.com chatted with Fort Worth,TX-based broker/owner Mary Carolyn Gatzke of Bloom Real Estate Group her perspective on the merger, and how it will affect the industry.
GlobeSt.com: What does this merger mean for consumers?
Mary Carolyn Gatzke: With the Zillow/Trulia merger, the number one and number two most trafficked real estate sites in the world are combining to share resources and offer better tools for consumers to have more access to information for their home search and sale process. The merger leaves one clear leader in the online residential real estate space. Zillow and Trulia were at the forefront of the trend to "set real estate information free" online, so the merger of these two companies just means that consumers are going to continue to be able to use these sites to educate themselves and be more actively involved in and educated about the home-buying and selling process.
GlobeSt.com: What's going to be the affect on buyers?
Gatzke: I think buyers will find that the amount of information at their fingertips will continue to grow. It remains to be seen how powerful Zillow/Trulia may become, and that will vary from state to state based on disclosure laws and within states; it will vary from MLS to MLS based on how they decide to work with Zillow/Trulia.
GlobeSt.com: In your experience, how much do you find that the average buyer relies either of these two sites?
Gatzke: For the most part, today's buyer relies on these sites extensively. Ninety-four percent of Texans shopped online when house-hunting in 2013. Everyone is getting information about houses on their computers, tablets, telephones, etc. Some—but not all—buyers shape their own search rather than being introduced to properties by their agent. Most are a combination of both, and a good agent will continue to add value to their buyer-clients' home searches by introducing them to properties. Agents are the first to receive information on new listings through other agents and through our MLS. At this point in time, Zillow and Trulia don't have immediate access to completely accurate listing information so smart buyers are looking online for education and relying on an agent for current information, access and counsel through the home-buying process.
GlobeSt.com: How much do you think this will affect you as a broker?
Gatzke: Some industry leaders are concerned that the ultimate goal is to get rid of the need for an agent. I don't believe a website can ever replace agents on the ground with real-time, real experience IN the community. There will always be a market for good service and hands-on expertise.

INQUEST Lawyers Group
The INQUEST Lawyers Group (ILG) exists to support the work of INQUEST and further its objectives.
The ILG is a national pool of lawyers who are willing and able to provide preparation and legal representation for bereaved families. Membership is open to all lawyers who predominantly represent bereaved families and share INQUEST's objectives.
Over the last thirty years, ILG members have represented bereaved families in hundreds of inquests into contentious deaths. These range from inquests into deaths in prison, police custody, psychiatric and immigration detention and deaths following other contact with state agents (such as police shootings) through to major disasters such as the Marchioness, Hillsborough, Zeebrugge and rail crashes, as well as the deaths of military personnel and accidents at work.
The ILG promotes and develops knowledge and expertise in the law and practice of inquests by acting as a forum for the exchange of ideas and experience and offering training. Alongside INQUEST the ILG campaigns for reform on issues of concern – for example, for public funding to enable specialist legal representation for bereaved people at inquests.
Members of the INQUEST Lawyers Group are invited to join a specialist private email group of ILG members with circulation of regular email updates on inquest law related cases, judgments and changes in policy, procedure and practice. They also receive a subscription to Inquest Law magazine which is published three times a year. Other benefits include access to INQUEST's casework and policy expertise; provision of media support; opportunities to input into INQUEST's policy and campaigning work; invitations to regular meetings hosted by leading professionals to discuss current issues in inquest law and practice; the opportunity to discuss issues and network with peers at meetings and through the ILG email group; and preferential rates for INQUEST training courses.
In this section:
people say
'We would like to thank INQUEST and our case worker for their help and support. INQUEST is a real lifeline for people who have lost loved ones and they have helped us practically and emotionally. They are worthy of much more funding than they receive to carry on their excellent work in increasing understanding in this area and in the way they support bereaved families.'

"The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend a personal God and avoid dogmas and theology. Covering both natural and spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual and a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that would cope with modern scientific needs, it would be Buddhism." -Albert Einstein
"Buddhism has done more for the advance of world civilization and true culture than any other influence in the chronicles of mankind." - H. G. Wells
"Of the great religions of history I prefer Buddhism, especially in it's earliest forms, because it has had the smallest element of persecution." Bertrand Russell
"If any question has to be considered, it has to be considered peacefully and democratically in the way taught by the Buddha." -Jawaharlal Nehru
"It is my deliberate opinion that the essential part of the teachings of the Buddha now forms an integral part of Hinduism. It is impossible for Hindu India today to retrace her steps and go behind the great reformations that Gautama effected in Hinduism. By his immense sacrfice, by his great renuniation, and by the immaculate purity of his life he left an indelible impress upon Hinduism, and Hinduism owes an eternal debt of gratitude to the great teacher." -Mahatma Gandhi
"In this sphere He gave expression to truths of everlasting value and advanced the ethics not of India alone but of humanity. Buddha was one of the greatest ethical men of genius ever bestowed upon the world." -Albert Schweitzer
"Man is greater that the blind forces of nature because even though he is crushed by them he remains superior by virtue of his understanding of them. Again., Buddhism carries the truth further: it shows that by means of understanding man can also control his circumstances. He can cease to be crushed by them, and use their laws to raise himself." -Blaise Pascal
"'Greater in battle than the man who would conquer a thousand-thousand men, is he who would conquer just one... himself.'" -Gautama Buddha

DiningDaily.co- Save money when going out to eat or for drinks (self.startups)
submitted 1 year ago * by privatelucky
I absolutely love sushi. I realized that if I wanted to I could eat at an amazing sushi buffet during lunch for only $10 Monday-Friday and then go to a different sushi place which offered 50% off sushi Saturdays and Sundays. I could eat sushi every day of the week for cheap until I got ill from mercury poisoning. Eventually I applied this same principle to going out to drinks with friends too. I could go to The Greene Turtle for two for one night on Wednesdays, Loonies on Friday for $3 rails, and Union Jacks for $1 off beer. So I could go out to eat everyday for cheap if I wanted to, and so DiningDaily.co was born.
The thing is though, this information is not all in one place. To learn about the deals, either I have to go to each individual place's website, physically go there, or hear about it from a friend. It's not on websites like Yelp unless someone specifically mentions it in a review. Now there are literally dozens of different websites which aggregate this information, but they are either out of date or limited to a small area. It is just too difficult for a small team of people to keep this kind of information accurate on a national scale.
DiningDaily.co is a way for users to collaborate to keep this information up to date. We will solve the accuracy and scaling issue by crowdsourcing information on the daily deals and happy hour specials. Users will be able to view, add, update, and verify information on daily deals and happy hours, and we will reward you with gift cards to you favorite places. DiningDaily.co is completely free to use, you don't have to pay a thing.
Here's how it works. Users can add, update, and verify deals and in return we reward you with points to use to enter a raffle for gift cards. Every day, we will select a winner and email them an e-gift card to a food or drink related place of their choice.
Plan on seeing us live during our open beta in late November. The beta version will not have rewards enabled, but we plan on enabling them soon after our beta. Mobile apps are planned for next year.
We are looking for more beta testers so we can get more feedback on what to improve. Sign up to get notified when we are live!

Remanufacturing Industry Report Hailed By RIC
A 284-page report on the state of U.S. remanufactured goods, industries, and markets published by the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) is now available as a free PDF download (click this story for more).
Remanufacturing Industry Report Hailed By RIC
A 284-page report on the state of U.S. remanufactured goods, industries, and markets published by the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) is a long-awaited and groundbreaking resource document, according to the Remanufacturing Industries Council (RIC), the industry's leading trade organization.
RIC Chairman Jack Stack described the report—Remanufactured Goods: An Overview of the U.S. and Global Industries, Markets and Trade—as "the most up-to-date and comprehensive overview of domestic remanufacturing ever issued by the federal government. It finally corrects the misperception that remanufacturing is only a minor subsector of American industry."
Among the report's key findings are:
- The United States is the world's largest remanufacturer.
- Remanufacturing represents an important and growing segment of U.S. manufacturing.
- From 2009 to 2011, the value of U.S. remanufactured production grew by 15% to at least $43B.
- Remanufacturing accounts for approximately 180,000 full-time U.S. jobs.
- In 2011, U.S. exports of remanufactured goods totaled $11.7B; close to 40% of the total went to free trade agreement partners.
Stack noted that the report also formally defines remanufacturing as "an industrial process that restores end-of-life goods to their original working condition," which should serve as the standard definition for the industry.

Record amount paid for gasoline
Associated Press
Gas prices will soon drop to their lowest level of the year.
By today, the national average should fall below the $3.28 a gallon that drivers paid on Jan. 1, according to analysts. The drop is a gift for those hitting the road during what is expected to be the busiest Christmas travel season in six years.
Still, it's more like a stocking stuffer. That's because for the second straight year, Americans will spend a record amount on gasoline. The government estimates that gas averaged $3.63 a gallon this year, 10 cents above the record set a year ago.
Drivers can only hope that forecasts for lower prices next year come true.
A combination of high oil prices and supply shortages caused by refinery and pipeline problems kept gas prices elevated for most of the year. The national average hit a high of $3.94 a gallon in early April and was around $3.87 in September after Hurricane Isaac disrupted supplies from the Gulf Coast.
Prices in most areas have fallen since then as supplies got replenished and refiners switched to cheaper winter blends of fuel. However, New York and New Jersey saw temporary spikes in November due to Superstorm Sandy.
At $3.77 a gallon, New York's average price is the second-highest in the nation, behind Hawaii's $4, according to auto club AAA.
Californians continue to pay some of the highest gas prices in the U.S. But they're likely relieved to be spending an average of $3.59 a gallon just two months after a refinery fire and pipeline shutdown sent prices at the corner station soaring close to $5.
The nation's lowest prices are found mostly in the lower Midwest and parts of the South. Missouri is closest to cracking the $3 level, with its average price of $3.01. Oklahoma, South Carolina and four other states show an average of $3.10 a gallon or less.
AAA says 93.3 million people will travel at least 50 miles between Dec. 22 and Jan. 1, the most since 2006. So, the falling price of gas will provide a little relief to motorists, who've been digging deep for gas money all year. The average driver will pay a little less than $2,700 for 744 gallons of gasoline this year, which will be a record, according to data from Oil Prices Information Service.
Americans' fuel bill ran up even as they used the least amount of gas in more than a decade. The slower U.S. economy and an increase in fuel efficient cars helped cut gasoline consumption, which government data show peaked in 2007. Consumption is expected to be about 8.73 million barrels per day this year, which would be the lowest level since 2001.
Prices should be cheaper next year, forecasters say.
Barring unexpected events like hurricanes or a conflict that disrupts oil supplies from the Middle East, OPIS chief oil analyst Tom Kloza said the nationwide price for gas should stay below $4 per gallon in 2013. The government is predicting $3.43 a gallon for next year, which would be the lowest price since 2010 when gas averaged $2.78 a gallon.

In this paper, we suggest blind source separation (BSS) technology for primary users detect, which is very important in cognitive radio (CR). Multiple-antenna system should be a part of CR. Different antenna receives the same CR signal from different path, if only CR is being working. When primary user starts working, different antenna receives mixed signals of CR and primary user from different path; which can satisfy the BSS situation. CR can separate different signals with little collision. At the next time, CR can jump to next carrywave or modulation type.
