Books Reading Last Night: Dim Unshiny Evening
posted by May 20 at 10:44 AMon
Against my advice, Tori Centanni, the intrepid—and unpaid—Book Intern went to last night's James Frey reading at Town Hall. Here's what she had to say on the matter:
The turnout was sad. At 7:30 I counted 28 people, and though a few more trickled in, there were never more than 40 people in the room. This was sort of pathetic.
Frey, trying to cement his image as a rebel and a rule breaker, wore a baseball cap inside and refused to stand during his reading. He did not bring any materials and borrowed a copy of his book from a cute blonde in the front row to read from.
The whole thing was pretty subdued and uneventful. [Opening act] Josh Kilmer-Purcell read the first chapter of his novel [Candy Everybody Wants]. People laughed at the appropriate places. Frey then read a chapter from Bright Shiny Morning about a gun store and a rape victim. Then they asked for questions.
At first, people asked about Freys love of Los Angeles. Someone asked how he went about his research. Frey said he read a few L.A. history books and used the internet. When he couldnt find information, he said as Im famous for doing, I just made it up. He paused for laughter. Its a fiction book, he added.
He talked about how The Los Angeles Times savaged the book and how he thought that was awesome. But the New York Times and Times Magazine loved it, which surprised him. There were more questions about Los Angeles. Frey really wanted to do [it] justice.
Finally some guy in a red shirt grew a pair and asked about The Controversy. The question was How did you handle the controversy, how did it change your life, and are you still friends with Oprah?
I was never really friends with Oprah, Frey replied. One of the things they told him the first time he was on her show was dont expect to be friends with her, as though a lot of people walk onto her set and think theyre buddies.
As for the controversy regarding how true his memoir was, Frey said he just concentrated on his friends and family and tried to ignore the press. He admitted the debacle was unbelievably unpleasant but insisted he never meant for A Million Little Pieces to be taken as pure fact. I could give a fuck about journalistic integrity, he said, I wanted to create literature.
Someone asked if he thought it was unfair, since most memoirs are fictionalized to some degree.
Frey sort of dismissed the question by repeating it didnt matter. What matters to me is that people still read it People come up to me and tell me [it] affected them The word on the side of the book is completely, utterly meaningless to me.
And then about a dozen people got in line to get their books signed. The whole thing only lasted an hour.
In conclusion, Tori Centanni is great and the James Frey reading was not. Less than 40 people at a Town Hall event—the upstairs, I think, seats 850 people and the downstairs seats anywhere from two to five hundred, depending on the configuration—translates to a waste of time for everyone involved.

Joy Formidable's live show can't match studio sound
The Joy Formidable delivered a blistering set at Summerfest last July Fourth. But something's changed since that hot summer night: The Welsh alternative rock trio's studio ambitions and accomplishments have outgrown its live capabilities.
The band returned to Milwaukee Tuesday to perform at a surprisingly spacious Turner Hall Ballroom. (Perhaps the Tuesday date turned people off? Or maybe the band's played the market too many times recently?) For Tuesday's 90-minute set, it had new material to share from its bold January album, "Wolf's Law." »Read Full Article(6)

There's an underground review that rates the quality of fake IDs from different sites.

Electronic confinement of organic molecules in confined spaces: A spectroscopic study of loaded MCM-41117(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1510116View Description Hide Description
Steady-state and dynamic spectroscopic studies have been given in support of the electronic confinement of 1 10-phenanthroline), within nanoporous MCM-41. The bathochromic shift of the 0-0 transitions, together with the shortening of the excited state lifetimes have been correlated with the reduction of the HOMO-LUMO band gap accompanying by the increased energies of the frontier orbitals. This trend indicates that the electronic confinement of organic molecules is indeed realized in larger cavities, such as nanocavities of MCM-41. The variations in the 0-0 transitions observed here have also been confirmed by theoretical calculations.
Hyper-Rayleigh scattering from silver nanoparticles117(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1510439View Description Hide Description
We experimentally demonstrate for the first time the existence of distinguishable contributions to hyper-Rayleigh scattering (HRS) intensities from Agnanoparticles arising from electric–dipole and electric–quadrupole plasmon resonances at the emitted wavelength. We show that these results can be successfully modeled using an electromagnetic theory of HRS which assumes a surface-induced nonlinear susceptibility. In addition, we show that simple angular distribution measurements may be used to determine the relative sizes of the dipole and quadrupole contributions.

Hey thanks! it was a pleasure having you stay with us!

The hostel is a big house with many patios, the rooms are clean and the beds confortable ( good points). The bathrooms are quite clean but the kitchen is a disaster ! We were sharing the dorm with a girl from the staff ( most of the staff are volunters) who was surprisingly very rude ( she turned on the lights at 6 am, spoke out loud as she was by her own...)
Sorry to hear! I will take this up with the staff members that you complain about so that they will learn from your experience. Have a great trip!

The strong side of this hostel was not the cleaning, bathrooms and showers were always dirty with leaking water. We booked a room with 4 beds but were placed in an 8 bed room for the same price due to overbooking?!? After one night we asked to change due to paint from the roof where falling down in my friend's bed. We were placed in a 6 bed room which actually was alright. One positive thing with this hostel was that you could get pancakes for breakfast and the owner was really nice.
Sorry to hear about that. I was the one that made the check in for you guys. Cordoba had a very rainy season (more than normal) so their was alot of humidity and that is why some paint chipped off. We are currently painting the hostel and repairing those areas. We will try to improve on your comments. Hope you have a great trip! hopefully you can give us another try in the future. Peace!

Was a nice hostel with a very friendly owner. The breakfast offered fresh made pancakes as well as cereals and breads/jams etc. kitchen was large and open with all things you need. Private room was clean and spacious. I think a lot of the staff were short term, travelling staff which I found made them less welcoming and less knowledgable about the city. However this hostel was very nice and well maintained.
Thanks for the review will try to improve in our staff trainning. thanks again and have a great trip!

AES E-Library
Background, Concept, and Architecture for the Recent MPEG Surround Standard on Multichannel Audio Compression
An overview of the recently finalized ISO/MPEG standard for multichannel audio compression MPEG Surround is provided. This audio compression scheme enables backwardcompatible multichannel audio coding and transmission at unsurpassed coding efficiency. This is achieved by generating a mono, stereo, or matrixed-surround compatible down mix, which can be transmitted using any existing mono or stereo service, extended with a small amount of parametric side information that describes the perceptually relevant spatial properties of the original multichannel content. The concepts behind spatial parameterization are outlined, and the architecture of the MPEG Surround system is explained. Results of subjective evaluations are included to demonstrate its efficiency.

Hedge Fund Frankenstein Algorithm Stalks Robert Harris Thriller
Dr. Victor Frankenstein thought it would be a good idea to bring an inanimate body to life. We all know how that turned out.
Now Robert Harris -- bestselling author of novels about Nazi Germany ("Fatherland"), ancient Rome ("Pompeii") and modern Britain ("The Ghost") -- has updated Mary Shelley's classic tale of hubris in "The Fear Index," a brisk new thriller set at a Geneva hedge fund.
Instead of a lumbering giant, the monster is a computer algorithm that makes a killing on the stock market by sensing fear and trading on this information.
Our flawed hero is a quant named Alex Hoffmann, a brilliant American physicist who moved to Geneva to work on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN and then founded a hedge fund. Not because he cared about making money; it was just the best way to test his "autonomous machine-learning algorithm." He doesn't like the term "artificial intelligence," but that's what he's talking about -- an algorithm that keeps learning, growing and improving its performance.
Everything goes swimmingly for a while. Powered by the latest version of the algorithm, VIXAL-4, Hoffman's fund has made $79.7 million in just one week. On the day he and his partner are scheduled to meet with their top clients to give them the opportunity to invest more money, things go wrong.
Sharpen the Knives
First someone sends Alex an expensive first edition of a book by Charles Darwin -- anonymously.
Then Alex finds an intruder sharpening knives in the kitchen of his $60 million house, but there's no sign of a break-in. How did he get past the security system, with its two different codes? He cracks Alex over the head with a fire extinguisher and takes off.
Over the course of the day, Alex finds mysterious e-mails sent from his own address opening bank accounts, transferring money, even buying that Darwin book. Is someone trying to make him look crazy, or is he actually crazy? Perhaps a computer algorithm that trades on fear is doing a little experiment of its own. Or maybe it was that bump on the head.
Harris is a master of pacing -- the story moves swiftly while never feeling rushed, and the tension increases subtly chapter by chapter.
There isn't much time for characterization, but there are some intriguing details. Alex, for instance, is so averse to publicity that he pays a public relations firm $200,000 a year to keep his name out of the papers.
Anonymous Clothing
"His clothes said nothing at all about him, which was the way he liked it," Harris writes of Alex. "A hedge fund manager with $10 billion dollars in assets under management could these days pass for the guy who delivered his parcels."
Alex's wife, Gabrielle, is an artist having her first exhibition; she worries that it's only because of her husband's money. There's also his English partner, Hugo Quarry, who has "an ex-wife and three children safely stowed in a gloomy Lutyens mansion in a drizzled fold of Surrey," and Leclerc, the police inspector assigned to the break-in, who lost half his savings in the market and has to commute from France because it's cheaper than Geneva.
As the day goes on, VIXAL-4 takes ever-riskier positions, eliminating the hedge from the fund. That's not what it was programmed to do. Once an algorithm can run a hedge fund by itself, what's next?
"The Fear Index" is published by Knopf in the U.S. and Hutchinson in the U.K. (286 pages, $25.95, 18.99 pounds). To buy this book in North America, click here.

Some how, some way, Rita Morgan is resurfacing for the upcoming fifth season of Dexter, the critically acclaimed Showtime series starring Michael C. Hall. But exactly how can Julie Benz's character return after being brutally murdered at the hands of the Trinity Killer (John Lithgow) in last season's final episode?
According to Entertainment Weekly, Benz is returning for the season five premiere, and that's it. New showrunner/executive producer Chip Johannessen explains that the show won't "do some ghostly thing with her," with fellow executive producer Sara Colleton adding: "We reserve those for Harry. If you have too many things like that it becomes gimmicky." The producers also confirmed that Rita won't return from beyond the grave.
So if she's not a ghost and if she's not miraculously revived, what's the deal? One particularly astute EW commenter guesses that she'll show up in an old wedding video. Sounds pretty on the money to me.
In addition to Dexter, Benz has a regular role opposite Michael Chiklis on ABC's forthcoming No Ordinary Family about a family of super-powered individuals.
Spoiler alert gawddammit. Some of us watch these things on DVD
Look at it this way, we don't know HOW or WHY she gets killed.
So, that way, we can still watch these things on DVD. ;-)
Wait, because you're years behind on your TV watching every web site now has to offer up spoiler alerts for people who can't be bothered to keep up?
That's one of the draw backs of waiting for the trade or watching TV shows on DVD. You accept that when you make that choice, don't expect others to accept that for you.
My feeling on spoiler alerts — 48 hours. After that, it's fair game.
She will be in his flashbacks like when he talks to his father. he will feel guilty for not saving her and killing trinity in time. My two cents.
Wait, so because I don't subscribe to Showtime, it's reasonable that I should have major plot points spoiled when I visit a comic book website? I'm not surfing TwoP's Dexter message board and acting entitled here, I was scrolling down CBR's main page to navigate to the CSBG headlines (now not the default display, but under Spinoff Online).
That said, it's also not really that big a deal. Will emoticon my sarcasm from here on out.

50+: Live Better, Longer
Hormones' Anti-Aging Potential Draws Attention
"While some of the changes associated with these hormone interventions appear to be in the direction commonly associated with younger, healthy individuals, the clinical usefulness of the interventions remains unclear," the NIA said in a statement.
"There is guarded optimism that some therapeutic maneuver that will raise growth hormone levels -- not necessarily giving growth hormone itself -- may have some value in preventing frailty and improving musculoskeletal function in older people," S. Mitchell Harman, MD, said in an interview on the topic last year. "But I think we have to say 'guarded optimism" at this point, because giving growth hormone per se doesn't seem to have the risk-benefit ratios that we're really looking for." Harman is with the NIA's Intramural Research Program and has been involved in many GH studies.
More optimistic is Joseph Raffaele, MD, co-founder of the Anti Aging Medicine Association of New York. Raffaele has been prescribing GH to patients for more than three years and says he has seen good results, including decreased fat mass without change in diet and exercise, increased lean muscle mass, stronger bones, improved heart and lung function, and reductions in blood pressure.
"Growth hormone is not the key to reversing the aging process because there is no single key. But it is certainly an important element of aging," he tells WebMD.
Vital Information:
- Approximately 7 million elderly Americans need long-term care, and that number is expected to double by 2030.
- Some scientific evidence shows that trophic factors, such as growth hormone, estrogen, and testosterone, may help combat the aging process.
- Growth hormone, in particular, may reduce frailty and help older people maintain independence, but studies are showing mixed results.

DELAWARE CITY, Del. (AP) - Police in Delaware say a woman jumped onto the hood of her car as it was being stolen and hung onto it for a few blocks before she was thrown off.
It happened Sunday about 3:10 p.m. at a gas station in Delaware City. New Castle County Police say the woman left the car running and went into the gas station when a man got into the car.
Officers say the woman jumped onto the hood of her car as the suspect was driving away, but was thrown from it a few blocks from
the gas station. She got cuts on her hands, knees and elbow.
An off-duty detective saw the stolen car and arrested a 22-year-old suspect, who is now jailed on charges of carjacking and other offenses.

Is there something I need to do in order to use the ddutil files from the dx sdk examples? I try to include them directly into my project but I just get a ton of errors immediately. Using VC6 by the way. Thanks, friz

You have a few problems: First, you cannot include the .cpp file, you should add it to your project. To do this right click on your "'projectname' files icon where your project files are displayed (should be window on the left) and choose 'add files' then find your .cpp . To include your .h file you need to set the correct directory that the file resides in (under: Menu option 'Tools' choose 'options', then tab 'directories'. )You will be able to declare a directory in there, or an easier way is to copy the .h file to your current working directory.

7 Tips to Prevent Dehydration in Children
In this article
Know the weather conditions, and plan accordingly. Know the heat index: It's the combination of high air temperatures and humidity that's most dangerous. Exercising in a relative humidity of 35% and an air temperature of 95°F may cause heat illness. Even dry climates can have high humidity if the sprinkler systems run before early morning practices. Avoid practice sessions during the hottest time of the day. Schedule the hardest workouts for early morning or late afternoon/evening.
Make your athletes wear proper clothing. Lightweight, light-colored clothing is best. Ventilated shorts and t-shirts let heat dissipate. For sports that use heavy equipment and pads, let young athletes practice in lighter clothes for a week to acclimate their bodies. Then put on the bulky gear.
Watch them closely. Watch your athletes before, during, and after practice for any signs of dehydration or other problems. Pay special attention to athletes who eagerly compete at or above their capabilities.
If a child looks sick, take him or her off the field. Monitor the child closely while the child rests and drinks fluid. Remember that even though kids with moderate heat injuries may look fine 15 minutes after giving them something to drink and allowing them to cool down, they are still dehydrated. Have them take the day off, and keep an eye on them when they go back to practice the next day.
Have an emergency plan. Train all support staff in first aid. Make sure each staff member knows what to do during an emergency.

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
Big pharma did not disappoint over the weekend at the American Diabetes Association's annual meeting being held in Chicago. Boehringer Ingelheim (BI), Eli Lilly, and Sanofi were among those firms that presented promising Phase III data for type 2 diabetes (T2D) drugs.
BI and Lilly reported results from several studies on their investigational drug empagliflozin, a sodium glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor.
For a trial evaluating empagliflozin as a monotherapy, the firms found that versus placebo, their compound produced statistically significant reductions in average blood glucose in adults with T2D who had never received treatment, or had not received treatment during the 12 weeks prior to initiation of the study. BI and Lilly added that it placed a subset of patients with baseline average blood glucose greater than 10%—above the study inclusion criteria—on open-label empagliflozin 25 mg for 24 weeks. In those patients, the companies observed a mean reduction in average blood glucose of 3.7% from baseline.
In another study, the companies showed that addition of empagliflozin to existing oral antihyperglycemic therapy in patients with T2D and mild to moderate kidney impairment showed statistically significant reductions in average blood glucose.
BI and Lilly also showed that empagliflozin added to metformin with and without the addition of sulfonylurea showed statistically significant improvements in blood glucose among T2D patients administered such treatment.
Meantime, BI and Lilly presented results from a pooled analysis of four Phase III trials evaluating empagliflozin. Overall, the pharmas report having found that T2D patients treated with empagliflozin versus placebo achieved significant reductions in average blood glucose, fasting plasma glucose, weight, and blood pressure after 24 weeks.
"We are primarily encouraged by the blood sugar lowering results seen in this analysis," Christophe Arbet-Engels, Ph.D., vp, metabolic-clinical development and medical affairs, Boehringer Ingelheim, said in a statement. "People with type 2 diabetes face different challenges. Many of them are not meeting their blood sugar level goals and have difficulties managing other factors such as weight and increased blood pressure."
Separately, BI and Lilly announced results from two studies evaluating linagliptin, as monotherapy and in combination with metformin, in Asian adults with T2D. The companies found that linagliptin monotherapy demonstrated a .68% reduction in average blood glucose at 24 weeks among patients from China, Malaysia, and the Philippines, compared with a decrease of .18% in the placebo group. They also showed that, when administered in combination with metformin, linagliptin showed an average blood glucose reduction of .66% at 24 weeks among T2D patients from those same regions, versus a .14% reduction among patients in the placebo group.
But for Lilly, the promising news did not stop at empagliflozin and linagliptin. The pharma giant also showed that its investigational GLP-1 receptor agonist dulaglutide was superior to placebo and to GLP-1 receptor agonist exenatide, metformin, and sitagliptin in reducing average blood glucose levels. Further, Lilly showed that more patients treated with its dulaglutide achieve an average blood glucose goal of less than 7% versus all comparators.
"These results are a promising step forward in our effort to provide a new, once-weekly GLP-1 treatment option, giving patients another choice to help manage their diabetes," Lilly's Sherry Martin, M.D., senior medical director, said in a statement. "Dulaglutide represents an important component of our diabetes portfolio, as it could help us offer a broader range of options to patients across the diabetes spectrum."
Added Guillermo Umpierrez, M.D., professor, Emory University School of Medicine: "Dulaglutide not only demonstrated superior glycemic control in these Phase III trials, it provided this control with once-weekly dosing, which may be attractive to both patients and healthcare professionals."
Sanofi, too, presented promising Phase III results at the American Diabetes Association meeting.
The firsm showed that when added to standard of care, including basal insulin with or without oral anti-diabetic agents, its investigational GLP-1 receptor agonist lixisenatide decreased average blood glucose in T2D patients by reducing postprandial glucose daytime exposure. Analyzing pooled data from 753 patients from randomized Phase III studies of lixisenatide plus standard of care versus placebo plus standard of care, Sanofi found an average reduction in blood sugar levels of .77% for lixisenatide plus standard of care versus a drop of .29% with placebo plus standard of care.
In a statement, Oregon Health & Science University's Matthew Riddle, M.D., professor of medicine, said that "basal insulin can control overnight glucose for people living with type 2 diabetes, but HbA1c [average blood glucose] levels may remain high due to persisting high levels of glucose during the day." Dr. Riddle added: "This analysis suggests that once-daily lixisenatide complements the effects of basal insulin on glycemic control mainly by reducing after-meal glucose levels."

thanks for the great plugin!
unfortunately in my case it was going to be used by people with no knowledge of english, so i had to modify the plugin in order to be able to add a translation to it.
i've added:
load_plugin_textdomain( 'wpupw', false, 'ultimate-posts-widget/languages/' );
to ultimate-posts-widget.php, created a "languages" folder and put wpupw-default.po, wpupw-default.mo, wpupw-it_IT.po and wpupw-it_IT.mo in it.
plus, i've added a class to the ouput list:
echo '<ul class="upw-list">';
to better handle the styles (and possibly target the list with some fancy jquery).
how can i submit the lot to you?

Lottery legislation needs tightening
Published: Thursday, April 28, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 28, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: What kind of people are we sending to Raleigh? I thought that a lottery would benefit education. The proposed bill suggests that gambling would also be OK. This sounds as though the lobbyists have spent their money wisely because they have convinced enough members of the House to favor gambling in their proposed bill.
The bill should be amended to read all proceeds from the lottery shall be used exclusively to benefit education.
The bill should include fixed administration costs not to be tampered with.
The members of the House have shown that lobbyists have great influence over our representatives.
We put them in office and they shall serve us the people. I urge you to contact your state senators and members of the House and tell them we will not support any lottery bill which does not provide exclusively for education.
Harry T. Rogers

More than 7,000 islands make up the Philippines, but the bulk of its fast-growing population – now more than 100 million people – lives on just 11 of them.
MSF in the Philippines 2014
After recovering from an economic downturn in 2004, the Philippines now ranks as one of the most promising newly-industrialised countries, with its export economy moving away from agriculture to electronics, petroleum and other goods.
Although endowed with many fine beaches and a growing tourism industry, much of the country is mountainous and prone to natural disasters. It is often lashed by typhoons and other storms.
The most damaging recent storm was 2013's Typhoon Haiyan, to which Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has recently ended its response.
MSF first worked in the Philippines in 1987.
Hear more from our teams in the Philippines: read the MSF blog
Patient story
The mother of Niño, who came to MSF's facility to seek care for her son who had suspected dengue fever, spread by mosquitoes and common in many tropical countries.
"When the typhoon made landfall in our town, we sought refuge in my parents' house. The wind was so strong that it blew off the roof of the house.
"We thought it was the last day of our lives. It's difficult to describe the event, it is traumatic. Niño was soaked in water. We cannot wrap him or dry him as all our things are wet."
Staff blog
"As the weeks have passed, and the students in need of individual attention decrease, our programme is coming to a close.
"The wind and rain comes and the children still exhibit some hesitancy or fear, but it passes quickly for most, and a song is sung.
"Most students now run outside to play in the rain. The Principal, the teachers, the parents, they thank us for our work with their students, their children, their community.
"I tell them that this is why MSF is on the ground, and that it was a privilege to have been allowed into the schools and to do the therapeutic sessions with them.
"I tell them that this is why, in part, MSF is in the country. It is a feel-good moment.
"Our project staff deserve the pride that they have taken in their work."

MSF's work in the Philippines: 2014
MSF continued to support communities in the Philippines affected by Typhoon Haiyan with response and recovery activities.
Find out more about how MSF responded to Typhoon Haiyan, step-by-step
Recovery on Leyte island
On Leyte island, local services are now capable of meeting medical needs and MSF therefore closed the 25-bed tented hospital in Tanauan in March and the inflatable 60-bed hospital in the city of Tacloban in April.
Overall these facilities had provided over 45,600 consultations and had facilitated 475 major and 5,400 minor surgical procedures.
Mental health
A mental health programme that began immediately after the typhoon continued with individual and group sessions in Tacloban, and in schools in Palo and Tanauan, where teams helped identify children who were still suffering from trauma as a result of the typhoon. More than 7,400 patients took advantage of these services.
An MSF assessment showed, however, that gaps persisted between needs and available obstetric services in Palo. In May, MSF began supporting the maternity ward and surgical team at Leyte provincial hospital.
Human resources support
The project focused on human resources support in surgery, maternity and neonatology, renovation of the wards, and ensuring an adequate supply of drugs and medical supplies. Teams also repaired the damaged sections of the hospital, installed new facilities and donated equipment.
MSF worked on rehabilitating Abuyog general hospital on Leyte, and two facilities in Eastern Samar province: Albino Duran memorial hospital in Balangiga and General MacArthur municipal hospital in General MacArthur. All renovation activities are expected to be completed in 2015.
Find out more in our 2014 International Activity Report.
At the end of 2014, MSF had 113 members of staff in the Philippines. MSF has been working in the country since 1987.

Summer ice in the Arctic to disappear
Several measures of Arctic ice cover have hit record lows. Melting usually continues into September, so this year's minimum should be below the 2007 record. The rate of melting far exceeds that predicted by most models. Predictions of when the Arctic might be entirely ice-free at the summer minimum are being brought sharply forwards.
carbon pricing for Australia
Yesterday Australia joined many developed nations in putting a price on carbon pollution (fixed at $23/tonne CO2e for three years) (prev). Despite extensive compensation, this moderate economic reform has proved enormously unpopular ("based on a lie") and is expected to be repealed if/when the Federal Opposition are returned to government.
republicanism: nature or nurture?
The Republican Brain is Chris Mooney's second book investigating the reasons for the beliefs of conservative Americans, following 2005's The Republican War on Science. He asks why identified Republicans reject the scientific consensus on important issues, seemingly against their education achievement, finding an answer in brain structures.
Carbon trading for Australia
Clean Energy Future. Australia has embarked on a tradeable carbon permit system, covering about 60% of emissions, beginning on 1 July 2012, and mixing in substantial progressive tax reform, putting a line under a very long debate on this matter indeed.
Meet Australia's and possibly soon the world's richest woman.
You probably haven't heard of Gina Rinehart. However, she's Australia's richest person and will quite possibly be the world's richest person in a few short years. Her currently limited political activity appears primarily directed at maintaining profitability, avoiding taxes and stopping a price on carbon pollution.
Learn to swim.
Energy-related carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2010 were the highest in history, according to the latest estimates by the International Energy Agency (IEA). After a dip in 2009 caused by the global financial crisis, emissions are estimated to have climbed to a record 30.6 Gigatonnes (Gt), a 5% jump from the previous record year in 2008, when levels reached 29.3 Gt. The likelihood of exceeeding 450 ppm CO2 and associated two degrees of warming has now receded greatly.
US DoD and alternative energy
Despite continuing inaction and perverse subsidies from the US Federal Government, one of their largest entities, the US Department of Defense, has done the analysis and considers both peak oil and climate change to be a significant threat. In partial response, they're pushing heavily into alternative fuels, with the Air Force aiming to get fully half of its domestic jet fuel from alternative sources by 2016.
Yale's 2010 Environmental Performance Index (EPI)
Yale's 2010 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) ranks 163 countries on 25 performance indicators tracked across ten policy categories covering both environmental public health and ecosystem vitality. These indicators provide a gauge at a national government scale of how close countries are to established environmental policy goals.

Tim DeChristopher goes on trial in a Salt Lake City District Court today [Case No. 2:09-CR-183], facing a ten year sentence and/or $750 000 fines. His crime? Intentionally making false bids on fossil fuel leases. His supporters include Dr James Hansen and Bill McKibben. (previously)
Welcome to the 21st century, Australian economy.
The Australian Government has committed to a price on carbon from 1 July 2012, prior to a likely full emissions trading scheme within three to five years. The Opposition are outraged, predicting a people's revolt. This should clearly define the next election.
No civilisation by 2100?
The world is well on track to achieve 4 degrees of warming by 2100. In September 2009, a conference organised by the Tyndall Centre looked at this scenario, with the papers recently published in a special issue of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society. Pr. Anderson of the Tyndall Centre suggests that only 10 percent of humanity may survive this conflagration.
whither US action on climate change?
With half of the new GOP Congressmen affirmed climate science deniers,and facing opposition even within his own party, President Obama has acknowledged that "cap and trade" legislation on US carbon emissions is dead. Regulation of emissions by the EPA appears to be the only way forward. Republicans are seeking to nobble that option, while Karl Rove thinks that "climate is gone" from the political landscape. Thankfully, according to John Shimkus, God has promised no more climate change, so we're all right then.
Whack-a-mole climate denialism
Investigative reporting continues to attack the credibility of the IPCC reports on climate change, as well as vicious personal attacks. These stories gain wide coverage in the denialist echo chamber, yet several months down the track, after thorough independent investigation, they are found to be false. Weak retractions are published in newspapers, but the damage is done.

Australia's emissions trading scheme, the "Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme", is being debated in the Senate today. [more inside]
350 ppm is all we've got
2007 equal second hottest on record
Climatologists at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies have found that 2007 tied with 1998 for Earth's second warmest year in a century (2005 being the hottest). More here. of course, others disagree.
Costs of climate change adaptation
The costs of climate change adaptation are estimated at US$1 Trillion* (wordwide, by 2050), equal to one year's growth. "Our analysis suggests that there are technologically feasible and relatively low-cost options for controlling carbon emissions to the atmosphere. Estimates suggest that the level of GDP might be reduced by no more than around 2-3% in 2050 if this strategy was followed, equivalent to sacrificing only around a year of economic growth for the sake of reducing carbon emissions in 2050 by around 60% compared to our baseline scenario. But if this is to be achieved, it will take further concerted action by governments, businesses and individuals over a broad range of measures to boost energy efficiency, adopt a greener fuel mix, and introduce carbon capture and storage technologies in power plants and other major industrial facilities". * that's less than half one cock-arse war!

This is my first pregnancy and I'm looking for a pregnancy buddy (not sure if that's the term you use on here). My approx due date is May 12th based on my LMP.
A little about me. I'm 30 and recently moved to Milwaukee and live with my boyfriend James (34). We are very excited about the baby, but neither of us have had any previous experience with it. We're not sure what to expect and it would be nice to talk with someone who is going through the same thing.

Communications service providers (CSPs) increasingly are adopting BSS managed service business models to improve the customer experience, to seize new revenue opportunities and to achieve better business results, notes an Informa Telecoms & Media white paper prepared for Comverse. The percentage of CSPs likely to be outsourcing BSS will climb to more than 50 percent in 2015. Says Richard Jesty, principal analyst, "By working with a specialist managed-services provider that knows the business support system (BSS) inside out and can fully utilize its capabilities, CSPs can benefit from well-informed judgment based on extensive experience with successful solutions and innovations from a varied range of sources, from the same geographic market and from around the world."

Whether his subject is mythological or autobiographical, Weschke frequently depicts animals in his paintings. In the 1960s and 1970s he made a number of paintings of horses and dogs. This one shows the artist's own dog, a Borzoi called Dankoff, standing astride a piece of meat as if guarding it. Weschke has described the picture as 'a dog in a particular landscape in a given circumstance' but has observed that because of his singular appearance, this dog took on a symbolic role for him, evoking strong memories of particular events in his childhood. Here Dankoff is seen on the cliff by the artist's house at Cape Cornwall. The barren landscape reinforces a feeling of defensiveness and isolation.

Restored Details
Getting the kitchen up and running inside a ramshackle 1850s cottage proved a really difficult task for Walt and Roberta Purcell. The first step in creating a kitchen was running electrical lines and plumbing into the space. Once that was taken care of, a local cabinet-maker built their custom birch cabinetry to fit in their awkwardly-shaped space. They also revived and repaired 160-year-old windows.
