Uber pushes on-demand delivery service out of beta, debuts UberRush
Uber just continues to expand into new markets, with the company pushing its on-demand delivery service out of beta and into the real-world. UberRush is a new on-demand courier program that is open for any company that wants it, but it's limited to just three cities right now: San Francisco, Chicago, and New York.
With Uber opening up the UberRush API to developers, it's the first step the company has taken towards expanding its courier service. Companies can easily add the UberRush service to their apps, with just a few lines of code. There have been a few companies that have been using UberRush when it was in beta, with Nordstorm and 1800flowers both taking good use of it, but Uber has said that there are more partnerships on the way. These new partnerships include Dryv, a Chicago-based dry cleaning service, and Up Sonder, a company that rents on-demand drones to aerial photographers.
If UberRush is a success in SF, Chicago and NY, we can expect the company to expand the on-demand delivery service into other towns, cities, and countries. I can't wait for that, as it's going to make me lazier than ever... thanks, Uber.
Analyst: 21 million driverless cars on the road by 2035
Autonomous cars are really becoming a thing, but they're not mainstream, yet. According to analyst organization IHS Automotive, there will be more driverless cars on the market than they had estimated. IHS Automotive increase its expectation of driverless and self-driving cars across the world, from 11.8 million on its last estimate in January 2014, to a huge 21 million by 2035 - an increase of nearly 100%.
IHS says that because of the increased R&D into autonomous technology, it has doubled its previous estimates, now stating that around 21 million driverless cars will be sold worldwide by 2035. The analyst firm says that the US will lead the world with autonomous car deployment, with thousands of cars on the roads by 2020. IHS expects the number to expand to 4.5 million self-driving cars in the US by 2035.
Most would think Japan would lead with autonomous cars, and don't worry - they're not far behind. IHS expects that Japan will "ramp up industry coordination and investment ahead of the Summer Olympics in Tokyo in 2020". China is actually expected to be the volume leader for autonomous technology, with IHS estimating that over 5.7 million cars in China will have some form of autonomous technology built into their cars by 2035.
Android Auto, CarPlay available for Hyundai vehicles
Back in March, GM added Android Auto to select new vehicle models, and now Hyundai owners are receiving it too, in addition to Apple's CarPlay.
Select 2015, 2016, and 2017 models can benefit from the technology (some version of the Sonata, Santa Fe, Genesis, Elantra GT, and Tucson, with Sonata Hybrid, Sonata Plug-In Hybrid, Veloster, and Azera on the way). It's free of charge and you don't have to go the dealer, either. Visit MyHyundai.com to do it yourself; if you prefer to let someone else handle it, the dealer option will be available for a fee as of June.
Be warned: the download takes as long as 3 hour and 40 minutes.
Uber's first self-driving car is on the streets of Pittsburgh
Uber is hopping on the self-driving car...train? Anyway, its first vehicle will be driving on the streets on the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the coming weeks, and while it kind of looks like it might shoot missiles at any moment, the company assures it's just collecting mapping data and testing self-driving capabilities.
The Advanced Technologies Center run by Uber is located in Pittsburgh and was chosen for its engineering talent and research facilities, so it's only logical for it to serve as its testing ground. Meanwhile, city mayor William Peduto sounds awfully proud to be apart of it.
"From the first steel mills to the laboratories at Pitt and Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh has a long history of innovation," he says. "Now we're taking another step forward, this time as home to Uber's Advanced Technologies Center, where some of the world's leading innovators are helping to shape the future of transportation. We're excited that Uber has chosen the Steel City as they explore new technologies that can improve people's lives - through increased road safety, less congestion, and more efficient and smarter cities."

Google hiring self-driving car testers for $20 an hour
If you live in Phoenix, are in need of work, and getting paid to brush your teeth and read the paper sound good to you, Google is hiring people to test out its self-driving cars.
The company has posted ads for anyone interested in pulling six to eight-hour shifts five days a week for about $20 an hour. At the end of your shift, employees will need to provide "concise written and oral feedback to the engineering team" on their experiences. Clean licenses are required, as there's a small chance those chosen will need to take the wheel under certain driving conditions. Unexpectedly, a BS/BA degree are required as well.
Google says it chose Phoenix as its latest test bed because the city encourages research and development and the extreme climate gives the company data it couldn't obtain in most other areas.
Expert says self-driving cars means more car sex
Driverless cars give rise to a variety of concerns for drivers and industry members alike. The latest: sex behind the behind the wheel, which has at least one expert on edge.
"I am predicting that, once computers are doing the driving, there will be a lot more sex in cars," states Barrie Kirk of the Canadian Automated Vehicles Centre of Excellence. And while that sounds like a great thing, he points out the potentially dangerous side, saying, "That's one of several things people will do which will inhibit their ability to respond quickly when the computer says to the human, 'Take over."'
Videos are already online showing those in Tesla driverless vehicles engaged in activities like reading a newspaper or brushing their teeth, so sex isn't much of a stretch.

Uber, Google and more join to lobby government on self-driving cars
Some of the biggest automotive companies in the world have joined forces for the issues surrounding self-driving cars, with Ford, Google, Uber, Lyft, and Volvo joining together to form the Self-Driving Coalition for Safer Streets.
What's that? The Self-Driving Coalition for Safer Streets is a lobbying group that will fight with the federal government about autonomous driving. With the government not really having a handle on self-driving cars just yet, the coalition is being led by David Strickland. Strickland is the former administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Strickland will act as the group's counsel and spokesperson, so in a way, he'll be lobbying his former agency. His previous employer has been tasked by the Department of Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx to work out the rules for self-driving cars, by early this summer.
Strickland said in a statement: "Self-driving vehicle technology will make America's roadways safer and less congested. The best path for this innovation is to have one clear set of federal standards, and the Coalition will work with policymakers to find the right solutions that will facilitate the deployment of self-driving vehicles".
Tesla Model X owners locked out of cars due to glitch
After recalling nearly all of its Model X vehicles over a rear seat safety issue recently, owners of the same vehicle are reporting glitches that could pose a serious safety threat. Among them: being locked out of the vehicle, doors failing to close, open, or sense objects to prevent hitting them, and light distortion caused by the curved windscreen, thus harming depth perception.
Tesla assures the recall and its current response to the situation is not an admission of mass failure, simply that it takes such issues seriously.
"While we have seen some issues with early Model X builds, the issues are not widespread, and we are working closely with each owner to respond quickly and proactively to address any problems," said a company spokesperon. "We will continue to do so until each customer is fully satisfied. This commitment is one of the reasons why 98% of our customers say they will buy another Tesla as their next car."

Mitsubishi admits it manipulated fuel efficiency tests
Japanese car maker Mitsubishi admitted today that it cheated on fuel efficiency tests for select models in an effort to present 5 to 10 percent better than accurate numbers. President Tetsuro Aikawa and other company executives (pictured below) bowed in apology at a press conference today.
The cheating occurred when testing the air resistance and rolling resistance of tires tests, where "improper conduct" was used; Bloomberg reports this included intentionally varying the load placed above the wheels of the vehicles. Additionally, the company stated it has been using a mileage test since 2002 that isn't compliant with Japanese law.
Models affected include the eK Wagon and eK Space, as well as the Dayz and Dayz Roox as supplied to Nissan. All are mini-cars, none of which are available outside of Asia; 625,000 units were sold or supplied through March 2016.

Tesla's autopilot system saved someone from a severe accident
Tesla Motors has one of the most advanced vehicles in the world with its Model S electric car, but this latest example will have more orders than ever. The autopilot system is shown off in the real-world, saving someone from an accident.
As you can see, a truck is coming up on the left of the driver, with the autopilot system kicking in and swerving to the right to get out of the way of the accident. Model S driver Joshua Brown had his vehicle automatically move out of the way, posting the video to YouTube.
Brown said: "I was driving down the interstate and you can see the boom lift truck in question on the left side of the screen on a joining interstate road. Once the roads merged, the truck tried to get to the exit ramp on the right and never saw my Tesla. I actually wasn't watching that direction and Tessy (the name of my car) was on duty with autopilot engaged. I became aware of the danger when Tessy alerted me with the immediately take over warning chime and the car swerving to the right to avoid the side collision".

MyTaskit reports increase in licenses
Software platform MyTaskit says it added 190 licenses for its MyTaskit Pro Coordination module, a 70 percent increase since last November.
Marinas and boatyards offer the vital services, ranging from repairs to slips and seasonal storage, that boaters require. Because they're in regular contact with boat owners, these businesses can take the pulse of the recreational boating industry every day. Developments such as new facilities and new services at these sites help to drive the industry forward.
Software platform MyTaskit says it added 190 licenses for its MyTaskit Pro Coordination module, a 70 percent increase since last November.

Eye skincare is probably one of the trickiest products (for me) to review. Sometimes, we can only feel the difference and more often than not, what we feel does not translate to outward changes. That does not apply to The Saem Urban Eco Harakeke Eye Serum - let me tell you why...

REVIEW: Laneige White Plus Renew Original Essence
Suffering from adult acne, hyperpigmentation and rosacea can be frustrating. Dealing with scars from cystic acne, uneven skin tone, dry and rough skin. It's a vain woman's nightmare - my nightmare. Haha!
I've gotten a lot of help from Laneige White Plus Renew Original Essence, which I have been using for about three years. Side note, I can't believe I only wrote about this now. I was in a desperate place, having multiple cystic acne (at most, 11 at the time time!) and scars took forever to fade. Reapplying concealer is not something I remember to do and would rather find a way to make the scars go away for good. There was an ad for this product and thought to myself, what the heck...

MAY EMPTIES: A quick review of my favourites and what made me go "meh."
Skincare has been my primary focus the last couple of years because I'm not getting any younger and I need to take extra care of it. So here's this year's first empties post - most of these are products I would purchase again and there's one that's just meh.
Let's do this by order. Keep in mind, I have dehydrated skin and these work well for me.

Oh, what happened?
Sometimes we just need to reboot to get things going. Well, I hope this is the push I need.
Clean slate.
I did not delete my old blog posts. I just moved. They can still be found here.
Ok, that's it for now.

I have created a form in InfoPath on a SharePoint site that refers to a List on that site for data. The form has been used for years and there are many old forms saved. I need to update the List name as it no longer applies to the organization (my mistake for being too specific back when I created the form). My question is, if I change the List name and repoint the template to gather data from that list's fields, will it kill my ability to read my old forms which still use that same template in the form library? I don't want to create a whole new form library and template, but the List name if misleading to the users.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
In my experience you can do a few things. Typically, the renaming of a list is only cosmetic, in that the actual URL to the list doesn't change. That would mean your forms are ok. However, if you do need to change it, the old forms will be pointing to the old form template file.
So, you can try the SharePoint built in method of relinking the forms, but I've had problems there in the past. Ultimately I had to download all of the form files and grep them to replace the old URL with the new one. That usually works just fine though.
On Windows, WinGrep can do this very easily and quickly with thousands of infopath xml files.

Ready in 45 minutes; part of Bake Sale Treats collection
A quick and easy no-bake recipe that uses oatmeal, peanut butter, cocoa and lots of sugar to produce candy-like, sinfully sweet cookies that are chocolatey, peanut-buttery and delicious! This recipe is also a great way to get the kids in the kitchen making fun food!
2,277 people want to try | 3,421 have favorited
In a large saucepan set over medium heat, combine sugar, butter, evaporated milk, cocoa, and salt. Heat, stirring frequently until boiling. Cover saucepan for 30 seconds to allow steam to wash sugar crystals down sides of pan. Uncover saucepan and continue to boil while stirring continuously for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla until smooth. Add quick oats and mix until well combined. Let mixture stand for 1 to 2 minutes to allow oats to absorb some of the liquid. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper, parchment or silicon baking sheets and allow to cool completely. Store at room temperature in an airtight container. (You can also pour this mixture into a 9-inch square pan that has been greased with unsalted butter, let cool, then cut into squares.)
Makes 2 1/2 to 3 dozen cookies
Cooks Note: For successful cookies, start timing when the mixture reaches a full rolling boil. If you boil too long the cookies will be dry and crumbly. If you don't boil long enough, the cookies won't form properly. Also, make sure that the sugar is completely dissolved before you add the peanut butter and oats...you have to make sure that the sugar mixture boils hard for at least one minute, otherwise the cookies will turn out grainy instead of creamy.
For variation, you can add other ingredients to this basic recipe. Substitute 1 cup of flaked coconut for 1 cup of the rolled oats. Add some chopped salted peanuts to the recipe for crunch. Or add some milk chocolate chips after the mixture has cooled slightly.

iPlane is a scalable service providing
accurate predictions of Internet path performance for emerging overlay
services. Unlike the more common black box latency prediction
techniques in use today, iPlane builds a structural model of
the Internet. We construct an annotated map of the Internet and predict
end-to-end performance by composing measured
performance of segments of known Internet paths. This method
allows us to accurately and efficiently predict latency, bandwidth,
capacity and loss rates between arbitrary Internet hosts. We have studied
the feasibility and utility of the iPlane service by
applying it to several representative overlay services in use today:
content distribution, swarming peer-to-peer filesharing, and
voice-over-IP. In each case, we observe that using iPlane's
predictions leads to a significant improvement in end user
The various components we have built as part of our experimental research prototype of iPlane are:

20 yr old TB mare with two different feet
This is so typical to see in horses! One foot is very upright and "clubby" while the other is flat and either under-run or foundered. The trick is to get the contracted foot to open up while getting the flat foot to tighten up it's connection. With this mare, both feet were almost dead with very little blood circulation from years of shoes and contraction. She was very shut down and depressed with poor conditioning. This photo was taken BEFORE trimming. The clubby foot has a very contracted coffin bone that probably has a lot of bone loss.
After a few trims
Still apparent is the difference in the two feet. Since this horse has only had a couple of trims, she is still in the beginning stages of transition to health. But she has already improved in her attitude and movement.

Carlsbad rejects Yuppie lagoon mall. Would Encinitas do the same?
Eventually Caruso or a similar developer will turn their soulless eyes towards sleepy, funky little Leucadia.
Will non-Leucadian voters in Encinitas, New Encinitas, Cardiff and Olivenhain rally to Leucadia's aide and vote down any similar proposals?
Let's hope.

Leucadia Parents: Beware of Creepy child touching lady
This occurred at the Leucadia Blvd and Hwy 101 intersection.
Local Leucadia parents have been concerned about her for months and months.
She has a history of trying to engage kids at Beacon's Beach.
If you see her call the cops and report a "suspicious person" and give them the case number. They are looking for her.
She seems like a normal nice woman at first glance. She will erupt in screaming obscenities when told to go away.
Her name may be Joy.

Carlsbadians should Vote NO on A
Carlsbad voters would be wise to vote NO on prop A.
Keep the malls away from the lagoon and preserve open space.
Encinitas voters should watch the Carlsbad vote carefully.

My, my, the line between nonchalance and jealousy is thin.
Mariah Carey, when asked about her thoughts on Britney being a judge on 'X Factor,' exclaimed, "You think I focus on that stuff? Have we met?" In other words–she couldn't care less.
Although Mariah claims she doesn't have any ill feelings for Britney, she couldn't hide the little green monster of envy. She was, after all, a possible judge for the last season of 'X Factor." I guess things just didn't work out for Mariah.
Hmm, would Mariah have made a better judge than Britney on X Factor? How will Britney respond to this lash-out (if at all)?? Would love to hear your comments below!

Style Watch: Tempe Music Festival
By: Aja Viafora
Tempe Music Festival showed that music buffs come in all different styles. From the sun dress-wearing princesses to the accessorizing trendsetters to the name brand shop-a-holics, people strutted their stuff making their own personal fashion statements all weekend long.
Chelsea Parker of Goodyear, Ariz. said that price doesn't matter when talking fashion. As long as something is cute and weather appropriate, she's a fan. She bought her white mini-dress at Old Navy which shows you can score great summer threads at student-friendly prices. Parker scooped up her hat at good ole Target. You don't have to go far for an affordable outfit; a two stop at the new Tempe Market Place will do the trick.
Parker said the key to her outfits is accessorizing. She bought her charm necklace at Dillard's and her earrings are from her mom's 1960s vintage closet. Parker was on the lookout for a friend when she snagged Craig Turner's sunglasses at a Sunglass Hut in the mall. Turner bought his own t-shirt at Express and picked up his classic cargo shorts at Kohl's. For foot wear, Turner snagged a pair of flip-flops from Pac Sun.

Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) are healthcare staff that provide long-term care service to medical facilities and may be a very rewarding career, especially if candidates possess the right skills and knowledge to provide quality service to patients and experience in basic nursing skills.
In order to work as a CNAs in the state of Georgia, a candidate should take and complete a CNA training program which is approved by the Georgia Board of Nursing, must pass a CNA certification test and be entered into the Georgia Nurse Aide Registry.
In the State of Georgia, there are over 60 Board-accredited CNA training programs, which are available in community colleges and vocational schools, universities, medical institutions, healthcare facilities, and meet the guidelines of Georgia Board of Nursing and Federal regulations for protecting and safeguarding the public health.
Additional, some medical facilities provide free on-the-job training, in exchange the employment for the particular facility that provided the CNA training.
By attending the CNA training, a student will learn to provide support for doctors and nurses in a health care setting and may perform different CNA skills such as taking patients' vital signs, keeping health records noting changes in a patient's condition or behavior, infection control, administering medication, and the proper operating and maintaining of medical equipment. Also, she/he is involved with the patient's daily needs depending on the directions of qualified professional, such as toileting, bathing and grooming, dressing, feeding, keeping rooms clean, preparing beddings, etc.
In order to gain entry into any of the CNA programs in Georgia, applicants must be at least 18 years old; possess a high school diploma or GED certificate, be in good physical health, and have no criminal record. Also, they should be familiar with English language and mathematics, and have a TB test report of last 6 months and immunization's proof before admission to the program.
The selected courses should be approved by the Georgia Board of Nursing that include least 85 hours of training, which covers classroom instruction and clinical practice at a nursing home or other living care facility. The classroom instruction involves theory topics which deliver the technical knowledge to the students and cover the basic science, basic patient care, anatomy and physiology, human body mechanics, basic nutrition, personal care and hygiene, infection control, health education, emergency procedures, professional conduct, etc.
The practical session covers clinical practices that a CNA must perform during the career in healthcare field, and need a high degree of skill, precise written communication in English and interpersonal communication skills, as well as accurate performance and the ability to perform the same tasks repeatedly.
Through these training programs in the state of Georgia, all potential CNAs develop the necessary nursing talent and skills. The approved training courses usually last for 6 to 12 weeks and require an enrollment fee that may range from $700 to $1800.
Georgia CNA Certification
After completing a training program, all potential CNAs must sit for a certification exam in order to receive their license and to work legally as a nurse aides in the state.
The state of Georgia uses National Nurse Aide Assessment Program (NNAAP) exam for assessment of certified nursing assistants, which is given by Pearson Vue (is the authorized administrator of the NNAAP in state), that is supervised and regulated by the Georgia Department of Community Health (GDCH) in alliance with Georgia Medical Care Foundation (GMCF). The purpose of the NNAAP Examination is to test that candidate understand and can safely perform the job of an entry-level nurse aide.
The test involves both a written exam as well as a skills demonstration test. The written test is a two-hour test with 70 multiple-choice questions covered topics of classroom instruction and is written in English. The clinical test which mimics a clinical setting asks the examinees to show their skills and knowledge in performing 5 randomly selected nursing assistant skills, under the supervision of instructors and senior registered nurses.
If the examinee fails the tests after three tries will need to re-take the training program. The examination fee of written exam is $25 and of clinical test is $82.
After successfully passing the certification exam, CNA can be entered into the Georgia Nurse Aide Registry, which maintains the records of certified nurse aides in the state and is regulated by the Georgia Department of Community Health (GDCH). Certification must be renewed every 24 months, and nursing aide must have worked at least 8 hours during the same period. Failure to work the required 8 hours will result in loss of certification and the nursing aide will need to retake the training program and exam.
CNA Employment in Georgia
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), as the state's population ages, the healthcare industry is one of the only sectors to experience consistent growth despite the economic slump. Hospitals are looking for more nursing assistants to assist medical professionals make the best use of their time. Additional, CNAs can work at several settings like nursing homes, medical facilities, clinics, private health care facilities, public health care centers, mental care centers, elderly care centers, convalescent homes, long-term care centers, and they are permitted to continue their nursing practice anywhere throughout the state.
A CNA in the state of Georgia usually earns an average salary of $37,000 per year, however, one of the most important things that affect CNA salary in Georgia is experience. Some employers require at least one year of experience before hiring a CNA.

Posted on 09/01/2002 7:31:02 PM PDT by FireTrack
Perhaps you have seen the first installments of the series on the arctic meltdown that the CBS TV network is doing for sweeps month. In the first piece they discussed how the arctic region has warmed dramatically in recent years and showed how the arctic ice has retreated along the edges and grown thinner. They promise to have scientists report on the possible cause in follow-up stories this week.
They focused on changes near the Arctic Ocean town of Barrow, Alaska. Ice had retreated from the shoreline near Barrow and temperatures have warmed accordingly. They talked about mosquitos being observed, not uncommon in Alaska but usually not seen on the north arctcic shoreline. They also reported that the temperatures have warmed 4 degrees in Barrow in the last 30 years.
When we look at temperatures in Barrow, we indeed see a warm up in the last 20 years with a large spike in the last super El Nino of 1997/98. If you remove that one year outlier, what remains in the temperature is an apparent cyclical wave that shows warming in the 1930s and 1940s and then cooling through the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s followed by the recent decadal warming.
Annual Mean temperatures (degrees Celsius) for Barrow, Alaska from NASA GISS.
In a prior story we showed how this cyclical change in temperatures and change in the northern hemispheric polar ice relate to the large-scale circulations in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans (and to the longer term colar cycles). We showed how well temperatures in Fairbanks related to the large-scale oceanic cycles, especially the Pacific cycle called the Pacific Decadal Oscillation or PDO.
The Pacific Decadal Oscillationor PDO is a large-scale flip-flop in ocean temperature and atmospheric pressure patterns that tends to occur every few decades. We have apparently returned to the cool phase in the last two years after two decades in the so-called warm phase.
Fairbanks, Alaska showed a very similar wave in the temperature.
Fairbanks annual mean temperatures change dramatically with the phases of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation.
The PDO in conjunction with the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) also affects the ice thickness through their effects on ocean currents in the arctic. During the warm phases of the oceanic cycles, there is an increased current flow beneath the arctic ice that melts the snow and ice from beneath and moves ice out of the arctic basin more rapidly (unlike the Antarctic which is ice on land, the arctic ice is a floating icecap).
A new NASA Goddard story discusses the importance of a large-scale planetary wave in the atmosphere in relation to the transport of the arctic ice through the Fram Strait The wave they talk about probably relates to the PDO phase as the ice extent shown below changes with changes in the mean phase of the PDO.
Like the polar temperatures, the arctic ice seems to change with the PDO cycle. Arctic ice extent dropped dramatically in the late 1970s and then slowly declined through the middle 1990s. A slow increase may have begun after that. The PDO changed phase in 1977 from cold to warm and then again around 1997 from warm to cold.
It has been around half a century since the last PDO warm phase and it is not surprising that most people do not remember the concerns about the declines in arctic ice and warm temperatures then. More people remember the widespread speculation about the impending ice age during the cold and snowy 1960s and 1970s. Now we are led to believe this current warm spell is just a start of what could be a disastrous climate change.
This too will probably pass. Perhaps a lot sooner than most people could imagine.
I use one of those in my Interositor.
Or maybe it's my Eludium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator.
"I use one of those in my Interositor.
Or maybe it's my Eludium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator."
One Saturday, they ran an old Flash Gordon
serial episode at the exchange. Flash was
using, and I'll never forget it, what he
called a 'skillioscope' (your spelling may vary).
The skillioscope was putting out code at
at about a dit or a dah per second. But
Flash was reading information out of it
as fast as he could talk. Naturally, a
movie audience composed of probably
twenty-percent radioman cracked up
long and loud. It was a hoot.
Of course not, then no one would tune in to find out what's gonna get us first!
I like Artic studies, reminds me of a few women I've met! :-?
Well it could be understood by more...if the public school system actually taught real science and critical thinking.
Please don't use that argument. Most of the Arctic glaciers are on land.
The real argument is that the glaciers have grown and receded over the years. If you look at their footprints over the time that we have been tracking them (not much more than 100 years) you really can't tell if this is an extraordinary recession.
I expect that this theory will soon be coming to a TV set near you, while the alarmists turn on a dime from fears of global warming to fears of a new ice age.
So when the techs were asked to come up with some 'morse code' effects, they could be counted on to embed some hidden message--often a snippet of a QSO with their own call signs.
I know there are some examples in the Disney oeuvre.
-.. . -.- .- -.-- -. .. -. . -.-- --- ..- . -.-- .
I'm not sure but don't we have about 10 times as many automobiles now than we did in 1940? If that's the case we should all be burnt to a crisp from global warming.
Anybody know of a website where this old ditty-bop can go to refresh his skills?
So we have global warming. So what?
I have heard that theory too. I wish I had heard it before I went there and saw the glacier footprint maps. I didn't think to compare the temps to the footprints.
This data is available. It frosts me no end that it isn't published in the popular media so we can all see it and come to our own conclusions.
But that wouldn't advance the "politically correct" argument, would it?
You're confusing the ice shelf with the glaciers. They are two different things. It's true that the Arctic ice shelf is over water, and the Antarctic ice shelf is over land and water, but the glaciers in Alaska that are used as evidence of "global warming" are primarily over land.
And, BTW, the Arctic ice shelf melts somewhat every summer.
I spent eight years working in the oilfields up there in Prudhoe Bay, on the Arctic coast, and let me tell you the mosquito clouds darked the sun at times. They would get under the hem of my pants and bite any flesh they could find as they crawled up my legs. I have never seen any that were more blood thirsty.

She paints a convincing picture that the Galapagos stand at a crossroads of degradation, overdevelopment, and disneyfication versus some kind of use that will both sustain some people who live there, preserve its unique living environment, and make it available for both scientists studying it and outsiders who come to learn its special lessons. In whichever of these scenarios unfolds, the people now there to whom she introduces us will play a leading role.
One of the themes that the author repeats is that education is an important solution. If the recent Ecuadorian migrants---presumably poor people (many of whom are illegal)---, who come from the underdeveloped mainland for economic opportunity, only better understood the evolutionary nature of the islands, they would not so abuse the resources. Some are Evangelicos, converted Protestants, and employed by the Park as guides. These are ideologically opposed to the ideas of evolution. Others along with old-timers, who lived off the immense profits of now fished out sea cucumbers, feel entitled to harvest what may have once enriched them. They now have to keep fishing or harvesting endangered species in order to sustain their families, and anyone denies them access is the enemy. And corruption enters. A law meant to support locals is subverted. Fishermen riot to do as they wish and get away with it. Large tour operators have access to government higher ups and flout regulations. The park responding to pressure recruits improperly trained fishermen as guides. The park has insufficient resources to patrol for longline poachers and uses the Sea Shepard Society---eco pirates--to help until politics intervenes. The Ecuadorian navy itself poaches. If the older generation is resistant then their children may be educated to understand the uniqueness of where they live. They are a hope of the future.
What a mess. But there are heroes on the other side. Carol Ann gives us attractive sketches of biologists, knowledgeable guides, photographers dive masters, and old timers who really care about preserving the Galapagos. The pictures she draws are much more likeable than those of Edward Hoagland renown caricaturist of the New Yorker whose verbal images often had demeaning twists. She acknowledges her subjects' human foibles but brings their humanity and caring alive. While some of these heroes are pessimistic about the future of the Galapagos, others are not only hopeful but dedicated in the face of what might seem overwhelming odds of overpopulation, corruption, and economic pressure.
Carol Ann has done a service in writing this book. We can romanticize about the pristine nature of the Galapagos and visit them for our own pleasure and edification, but like her we now understand how tentative those privileges are. Lonesome George, the last of his kind, is a metaphor. May those who keep fighting for the Galapagos have offspring. Carol Ann's volume is one such. Thank you.
Charlie Fisher Emeritus Professor and author of Dismantling Discontent: Buddha's Way Through Darwin's World
I have to agree with the author that the most likely outcome in the Galapagos is that we end up with a Disneyfied "GalapagosLand" instead of a truly pristine preserve.
My main complaint is that it read more like a series of separately-published articles which means that there's some repetition.

Help for Hernias?
What home treatment do you recommend for abdominal hernias?
Answer (Published 8/28/2002)
Abdominal hernias occur when an organ or some fatty tissue pushes the inner lining of the abdominal wall through a weak area of surrounding muscles or tissues and shows up as a bulge in the abdomen. The area of weakness is sometimes present at birth. It can also be caused by aging, injury or a previous surgical incision. Sometimes, the bulge can be pushed back in place. If not, the only alternative is surgery. Hernias are very common, and are often more of a nuisance than a danger. But it is possible that a portion of intestine can become trapped in the hernia and "strangulated" as the blood vessels supplying it are compressed. This condition is very painful, can block digestion, and even lead to gangrene of the affected piece of intestine. A strangulated hernia requires emergency surgery.

Hernias occur most frequently among people who are obese, those who have a chronic cough or frequent, violent sneezes, among pregnant women, and among those who are chronically constipated and strain excessively during bowel movements.
As far as home treatments are concerned, about all you can do is try to push the hernia back in place by wearing a truss or other support garment. Avoid lifting or otherwise moving heavy objects; quit smoking; eat a high fiber diet to prevent constipation (and consequent straining) and drink lots of water.
In addition, I recommend that you be medically monitored and consider repair surgery if the problem worsens. The procedure itself often is done on an outpatient basis. You should be able to get back to light activities within a few days.

Traffic snarls delay Lakers arrival in Ontario
The folks who schedule the Lakers' travel plans must never drive to Ontario. Otherwise, they would account for Friday traffic heading into San Bernardino County.
For a second time in as many preseasons, the Lakers arrived late to Citizens Bank Arena for their pregame rituals of stretching out, taping and warming up. On Friday, they showed up 15 minutes later than scheduled; a year ago, they were nearly an hour late because of two Sigalerts and a brush fire off the 57 and 60 freeways.

The film is breathtakingly beautiful. Black and white never appeared more colorful than in this film. Watch it for those reasons. That will be all the reasons that you'll need.
The person responsible for such an incompetent and abysmal edition of this can't miss movie should be flayed alive in front of all true lovers of cinema. Image, which chopped 10 minutes out of JULIET OF THE SPIRITS despite the representations of the packaging, is the Good Times Video of DVD. That they would do such a worthless job for a Fellini film is cause for anger. That they would due this again to Kalazotov is sacrilegous.

Rutgers transfer Okoro granted waiver by NCAA
PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- Kerwin Okoro will be allowed to play for Rutgers this season after he was granted an NCAA waiver for immediate eligibility following his transfer from Iowa State.
Rutgers announced the NCAA's reversal Friday night after the 6-foot-5 sophomore guard's initial request was rejected by the governing body last month.
"I would like to thank the NCAA for granting me a waiver," Okoro said in a release issued by the school. "I am very humbled by all the support I have received throughout the process, both from my basketball families at Rutgers and Iowa State. I look forward to working with my teammates and coaches to have a successful season. I feel very fortunate to be at Rutgers and close to my family. I can't wait to play ball."
Okoro, a high school star at St. Raymond's High in New York, appeared in only nine games for the Cyclones as a freshman while dealing with the death of his 28-year-old brother due to colon cancer just two months after their 72-year-old father died after a stroke.
The 19-year-old Okoro decided to transfer to Rutgers to be closer to his mother and asked for a waiver from NCAA rules mandating transfers sit out one year. After he was first denied, Okoro asked the NCAA to reconsider, getting support from the media, including ESPN announcer Dick Vitale.
Okoro credited Vitale for his help, tweeting, "I'd also like to give a shout out to the great (at)DickieV for his voice on my waiver ! Truly honored and it is heavily appreciated !"
Vitale also thanked NCAA President Mark Emmert and the governing body on Twitter for granting the waiver.
