Climate Progress And Christmas Cartoon
Opine away!
Note: Climate Progress will largely be on vacation this coming week at Walt Disney World and points North. So we will mostly be running cross-posts and favorite CP posts (and some more open threads for those who want to post news). Suggestions are welcome.

Attention Deficit Disorder: "It's Global Warming Stupid" has been replaced with "26 Dead at Sandy Hook Elementary". And the "Fiscal Cliff" has been made the replacement horse race that "Election 2012" was.
A recent symposium of experts have dealt a deadly blow to the electric car dream.
The conflict minerals used in green energy and cell phones is responsible for the killing of 2 million children in the Congo since 1998. Rare earth extraction is so poisonous it is only done in China where thousands die in mines each year. China is going to flatten 700 mountains to make way for a new city. We are on track for a 4°C by 2050. We haven't even had 1°C yet and the arctic is in a meltdown that is irreversible and unstoppable. Earth's food web is breaking down on land and sea. This is also irreversible and unstoppable. We are killing the earth.
Alarmist style here with a lot of claims and topics mixed into each other. Please 1 topic at a time, with source to assess your claims, ty.
Once before, at a time when the political action of a few seemed fruitless in the face of the massive expenditures that we faced and volunteers were losing heart, I sent an email that was only the Saint Crispins Day speech from Henry V. As it worked for Henry, it worked for us and that band of brothers and sisters seemed to renew their energies. Richard Pombo was not returned to the House, replaced by a man with a PhD in Math and a career in wind energy.
I feel a bit the same today. We have the holidays upon us, a time to rest and recharge for, come January, we must go "once more unto the breach."
I have, on several occasions, mentioned here that we should look at the rebuilding of the Jersey Shore following Superstorm Sandy as a sign of whether people are really willing to take climate change seriously, at least seriously enough to make a major change in what they do. It appears, according to this NY Times story, that they are not there yet.
He knew that officials from the city, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Breezy Point cooperative were still negotiating over new building standards, revisions that could force him to tear apart the windows and doors he was installing to add expensive new safeguards against another onslaught from the ocean. But he would not, he could not, sit around.
"How long can I wait?" Mr. Ryan said. "I've got to get back here and live."
Alarmist style. Is that like gangam style? Of course it's alarmist. Call it a wake-up call, call it whatever you like. If just one topic were destroying life on earth, then I would list just one topic. Check out all the links and put it all together. All these links clearly show earth is heading towards disaster. Not just humans but all life on earth. See for yourself. You be the judge. Don't be too lazy or afraid of the truth.
Good Morning! This morning is the start of the new Mayan golden age, known to Indo-European astrologers as the Age of Aquarius, the scientific inquiry age. Christmas is at this time of year because its Roman precursor equally celebrates the turning of the sun, and the original Christmas was all about the new Age of Pisces (the ascent of Jerusalem, religion driving the world) coming in to supplant the old Age of Aries.
The European oppressors have been on the Mayan's necks for 500 years, ever since the last Mayan golden age ended. Good call so far for their prophets. Today the fiscal cliff has caught up to Europe and America. European/American economies are failing as we sit here, much as the Mayan economy once failed when the soil became worn out. The Americans in particular are going to have to cut back on Central American gunboat diplomacy.
In other news, the Zeta drug cartel is getting pretty wealthy these days. Who says that the Mayans can't rise up after 500 years of living in terror?
The Mayans were worried about some type of deluge at this time. Perhaps that's why they built so many tall, square temples out of stone. If the oceans rose 50 feet and if an occasional hurricane storm surge pushed another 30 feet of water on top of that, a thick square structure is almost the perfect structure to save the lives of a village of people. Nice architecture, nice looking ahead!
Dr. Ray Kurzweil makes wonderful prophecies of solar taking over. He has just one little problem – he forgets how truly prophetic humans are. People regularly go into the lab to demonstrate ESP and they make a monkey out of science. Dr. Kurzweil's dream of a man-machine singularity is fatally flawed by his inability to see how a prophetic human mind works. We can still build some nifty gadgets that hang on people's ears and make them look fashionably Borg, but it's not the same.
There's just one thing that I don't get. Google pays Dr. Kurzweil a ton of money to prognosticate that breakthroughs will be made soon. I know for certain that Dr. Kurzweil is going to be almost proved right in the end, because I'm here sitting on a pile of actual first-rate bleeding solar breakthroughs. What's wrong with this picture?
Not a problem. The fix is really easy. We can go back to old crummy low-capacity batteries. We simply have to design our cars to drive 50 miles or so to a battery recharge station. At the station a machine grabs the old battery pack and plugs in a new battery pack. Then the car keeps on driving another 50 miles. Betterworld.com has prototype machinery in use now.
This task will get easier as our transportation system gradually gets automated. The stops will be quick and connected to the main highway.
Or, we could simply jump ahead to the next fully automated above-grade transit system, which is just a couple of cables hung over the middle of every street. Recharging would be built into every stop.
"A recent symposium of experts… "
And that was exactly?
There are 1 billion cars on the planet earth. We would need several sets of batteries to operate each car. That sort of massive investment would not be without risk. We could easily spend ten years investing in something whose benefit does not outweigh its cost.
embarrassing as it is regrettable.
Reading these comments makes me wonder about a few things. First, should we be committed to putting a car in every garage? If so, why? Second, are we committed to having a miniscule proportion of the population working in agriculture? If so, why?
I take it that 24-7 electricity is a given here–for understandable reasons. I understand and agree solar is the future, but what kind of future. I skeptical, to say the least, of posters who think solar will give us the material life we have today. It won't.
The total lithium content of seawater is very large and is estimated as 230 billion tonnes, where the element exists at a relatively constant concentration of 0.14 to 0.25 parts per million (ppm), or 25 micromolar; higher concentrations approaching 7 ppm are found near hydrothermal vents.
One of the largest reserve base of lithium is in the Salar de Uyuni area of Bolivia, which has 5.4 million tonnes. US Geological Survey, estimates that in 2010 Chile had the largest reserves by far (7.5 million tonnes) and the highest annual production (8,800 tonnes). Other major suppliers include Australia, Argentina and China.
Lithium is the 25th most abundant element.
There are much more deposits around the world, some recently discovered and undiscovered. And then there are other forms of electric storage.
How Improved Batteries Will Make Electric Vehicles Competitive
It will likely take a decade, but improvements to lithium-ion batteries could lead to much cheaper EVs. http://www.technologyreview.com/news/506881/how-improved-batteries-will-make-electric-vehicles-competitive/
ICY RUSSIAN WINTER AHEAD, AS WORLD'S PRICIEST PIPELINE STARTS TO CRACK http://www.worldcrunch.com/business-finance/icy-russian-winter-ahead-as-world-039-s-priciest-pipeline-starts-to-crack/heat-russia-gas-coal-green-energy/c2s10294/
It would be interesting if the current record breaking cold (coldest winter in Russia since 70 years) is because of polar air intrusion, "winter weirding".
I have many questions about climate change that are not individual questions, but are one side of a conversation. Where could I find my own personal climate scientist who would be willing to have that conversation with me?
Peel-And-Stick Solar Panels: Decal-Like Application Process Allows Thin, Flexible Solar Panels to Be Applied to Virtually Any Surface
I have many questions about aircraft design, like why do they put the engines below the wings instead of above or up front near the cockpit. After all, my opinions are just as valid as those of the people with PhD's in the relevant fields and who have spent decades of their lives designing aircraft.
Where could I find my own personal aircraft engineer who would be willing to have that conversation with me.
And the Southern hemisphere just booked the warmest Nov. on record.
My two cents:
We need to be prepared to take care of ourselves, because all government resources will be consumed dealing with that which they have put off for 3 decades.
I read a bit more and in Moscow it is unusual warm for the season. The cold is mainly in the Siberia region.
And Dec is shaping up to be a little beauty, ME
The next question: can this scale? Answer: the researchers aren't looking at that or what the energy profit ratio is.
And how can this be produced for the masses?
How Much Lithium Exists?
The claims that there is only a finite amount of lithium are certainly true. But the claims that we can't somehow have enough to build an infrastructure of electric vehicles is absurd, especially if we assume that electric vehicles won't be the only kind of vehicles — there will be natural gas trucks, electric cars, and possibly other fuels going forward as well. And heck, yes, some vehicles will keep running on oil.
All considered, even if we began to mass produce electric vehicles, "running out" of lithium is a silly and paranoid fear. From green-tech energy expert Nick Butcher:
When you look at the details, it turns out that the only thing worth losing any sleep over is lithium. Here I was slightly concerned, as it's one material that's not already used in huge quantities. A USGS estimate puts lithium reserves at 10 million tons. That'd be a bit close for comfort! That was back in the 1970s, though — a more recent study by Evans put the figure at 30 million tons. That's a bit better, but still tight (as you see above, 1.5 billion cars). But now, SQM estimates reserves may exceed 60 million tons! The evolution is outlined in this report, and the reason is clear. With USGS reserves already at 10 million tons, and annual demand currently only around 0.034 million tons, we have enough known reserves for 300 years at current extraction rates.
It's not that there's a shortage, it's that there's so much that until the last few years, no one has bothered to look for more. In fact, lithium exists at similar concentration in the earth's crust to lead and nickel. The question is only one of economic extraction and technology, and with current lithium prices only accounting for around 2 percent of the cost of a LiFePO4 battery in terms of $/kWh, that's not something we need to worry about anytime soon.
This isn't just one source or something. Multiple studies have shown we have a century of lithium already, if we start mass producing EVs. Accounting for breakthroughs and new technology and even more alternatives, it is like it's 1912 for oil.
What This Means For Investors
In 50 years, people who made big bets against the ability of the electric vehicle to survive and prosper will be lucky if they keep their shirts. The electric vehicle is the next logical step for transportation, and the rising cost of oil all but insures this.
Investors looking for more direct exposure to electric vehicles can invest in:

Thinking that your opinions are just as valid as those who have spent a lifetime studying the topic marks you as a person who does not merit such attention from an expert. My question was sincere and resonable. Yours is not.
Ken Barrows it is already produced for the masses, it is currently in the process of scaling. 2013 is the year when Electric Vehicles for the first time really make a difference. Because of models like Tesla S, Fitzer, QInfinity, or the BMWi series.
And battery subsidies should be introduced world wide. When nuclear power was introduced, subsidies 10 times of current clean tech subs were paid.
Not a pure test of understanding of climate change – think of millions living on the San Andreas and sides of Vesuvius, ME
Science and politics
Despite a year of "global weirding" and some often harrowing physical evidence, the climate politics of 2012 showed no sign of shifting to close the gulf between observed climate impacts and urgent policy action.
"It's a gap as wide as the Grand Canyon," says Kelly Rigg, executive director of the Global Campaign for Climate Action, more commonly referred to as tcktcktck. "The science tells us that the longer we wait, the more difficult and expensive it will be to keep temperature rise in check."
The conclusion of the UN climate change talks in Doha left many unsatisfied that the urgency of the process and the change it is meant to deliver, are not matching up to its founding principles.
"There's a reason why emissions reductions targets are pegged to 1990 as a base year – that was the year we drew a line in the sand; the year governments acknowledged the science and negotiated a treaty to address it. But sadly, global emissions still have yet to peak," she told RTCC. http://www.rtcc.org/2012-another-year-of-global-weirding/
Reductionism is partly responsible for this mess and won't get us out, ME
An apps-eye view of global warming and climate change

Theodore, the best would be to ask your question's right away. Sometimes Climate Scientist comment here too. Though the best chance to get a direct respond from an expert is if you were asking your question here http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2012/12/unforced-variations-dec-2012/comment-page-6/#comment-310429
Coastal New England's cod and flounder population has collapsed, because of a warming ocean (as well as overfishing).
"With fishery regulators poised to impose devastating cuts Thursday on the New England fleet, blame for the disappearance of once-abundant cod and flounder populations is shifting from fishermen to a new culprit: the changing ocean.
Warming waters and an evolving ocean ecosystem possibly related to man-made climate change are contributing to the anemic populations, not just decades of overfishing, government officials say."
The time for painless change has long past. Some very hard decisions must be made, and very soon, for us to have any chance of surviving what is ahead.
WE are so close to having the climate system run out of control without further input from us. Already much nastiness is locked in.
Is a sane world…

Climate Change: James Hansen on Tipping Points, Carbon Tax and organized Denial
The Tesla Roadster is not for the masses. Now there is a lot of lithium but the question, as always, is the net. Maybe we can make lithium batteries for hundreds of millions of vehicles, but do we want to? I have never seen anyone do an analysis. And when someone starts talking about a substance in seawater, I know he is not serious about net energy.

Well, if someone says the Earth's food web is breaking down, and the breakdown is irreversible and unstoppable, that strikes me as defeatist rather than alarmist.
I think your best bet is RealClimate. It's run by climate scientists and features informed conversations.
I'd also recommend reading some books. A good choice to start is The Climate Crisis by David Archer and Stefan Rahmstorf (Cambridge University Press, 2012).

John Kerry's Climate Change Statements Show Force & Nuance http://cleantechnica.com/2012/12/22/john-kerry-and-climate-change/
"We no longer have the luxury of engaging in a debate that does not lead to action. We must put an end—an immediate end—to any discussion other than the one that will lead us forward. We simply have no choice but to face the facts, regardless of how unsettling they are. This is not just an 'environmental' issue; it is a moral issue and a matter of life and death."

Archaeologists Date World's Oldest Timber Constructions
The tests revealed that the wood comes from massive old oak trees felled by early Neolithic farmers with stone adzes between the years of 5206 and 5098 BC. The farmers cleaved the trunks into boards, assembling them to make chest-like well linings with complex corner joints. Using state-of-the-art laser scanning technology, the scientists collected data on the timbers and tool marks and documented the highly developed woodworking skills of the early Neolithic settlers. The very well-preserved tool marks and timber joints testify to unexpectedly sophisticated timber construction techniques.

Pamela Meyer: How to spot a liar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_6vDLq64gE
Ofc, denier arguments can be debunked with scientific facts, observed data but sometimes it is interesting to spot body language signs.
As soon as I saw that 7200 year old cribbing , I thought of the "Square-Set" on the Comstock. They cut every tree they could lay their hands on . And they did it by hand, by mule, and by steam. They stripped the mountains clean to support the silver mines. That Union silver paid for the Civil War.
If one visits Virginia City today , remember this, in 1850. Pine trees 3 feet at the stump cover the mountains above the town for as far as one can see.
And there was no town in 1850 .
We cut down the entire forest, and buried in our mines.
By hand.

What's wrong with being alarmist? Paul Revere was an alarmist; he sounded the alarm that the British were coming. If he were to ride through New England today, the 'deniers' would call him an alarmist and go back to wasting fossil fuel.
When are the posters here going to realize that the game is over? In what other field of endeavor could one have thirty years of complete inaction on a problem, and discuss the possibility of instituting the extreme sacrifice necessary to solve it?
Poland Wages War on Efforts to Save the Climate
Per your comment:
"Let me be the first to register: I am on the fence, trying to decide which is closer: The Hansen-McKibben view that we can leave a livable planet if we take immediate and drastic action; and the Guy McPherson view that we're all screwed.
And I read the WSJ – the above ground portion. I pay no heed nor any attention to its editorial pages (the sewer)."
I believe the reality is somewhere between Kevin Anderson and Guy McPherson. We probably still have a chance if we were willing to take the most extreme measures. But, given our trend line of fossil fuel action hasn't budged in the past thirty years, any chance is completely ethereal.
There is nothing wrong with being Alarmist, but you need a clear fact based message.
Some interesting listening from 1984 (Michael McElroy)
Paul, I read your comments and I'm still scratching my head. "a couple of cables hung over the middle of every street."

This poster seems a little off the rocker. Rare earth mining is only done in China, but is killing millions in Congo?
Rare earth mining has always been highly concentrated throughout history. A quick Wikipedia trip will tell you that in the past countries which dominated rare earth mining included Sputh Africa, India, etc. the reason is that despite its name, rare earth minerals are not rare at all, but are in fact widespread. The issue is that they are not highly concentrated so mining tends to become dominated by whichever individual country invests the most.
Even outside of that, recycling technology is getting drastically cheaper, and will reduce the need for mining tremendously.
Ditch the cables if necessary by using a synergistic combination of very high efficiency, clean energy, on-board electric drive technology. Road vehicles are already using many of these components, but more could be used for a rail vehicle.

Wow, the weather in Germany is extreme! Flooding in parts, Temps around 8-16C today (still rising) atm and tomorrow winds with Hurricane strength(90 km/h).
I guess we see events like doubling or tripling of current Methane emissions in short periods. I wonder how this will turn for the Oxygen content of the atmosphere.
Although the further warming will take it's toll on the psych of people, because heat induces more violent behavior, increases stress over resources etc. At one point we will be unable to function as a civilization, the system will break. The window to reduce emissions is closing.
I'm tempted to paraphrase Bill Shankly talking about football and say climate change isn't a matter of life and death – it's more important than that.
Poland really is on the way to becoming a pariah state for its climate change denialism.

AbstractWidespread damage in aging aircraft is becoming an increasing concern as both civil and military fleet operators are extending the service lifetime of their aircraft and increasing risk of crack-like damage of aircraft components. The scientific community found that fatigue damage initiation occurs at micro-features called fatigue damage precursors (FDP). This requires that fatigue crack growth analyses address the influence of usage on FDP and eventual macro-scale crack growth. Predicting the exact fatigue life is a difficult process and fatigue life prediction based on crack length measurements can be grossly inaccurate. In addition, the appearance of these cracks typically occurs very late in fatigue life under high cycle fatigue conditions. Thus, to improve remaining useful life prediction of structural components the study of FDP is critical. In order to address this need, Luna is teaming with Arizona State University to develop advanced ultrasonic and eddy current evaluation techniques with potential application for structural health monitoring. The proposed method is based on using multi-scale modeling with combined linear and nonlinear ultrasonic parameters and eddy current measurements of electrical properties to predict the damage state and remaining service life of aircraft structural components.

Chase and Kaiya's birth announcement cross-stitch.
This is a stamped x-stitch. It took many hours of work. I, Grandma, enjoyed every minute because I was making it for my first grandchildren--TWINS! I remember Jim, Grandpa, framing it. I was very proud of this project and the girls for whom I made it.
God bless the moon cross-stitch. I made this cute x stitch for Anitra and Terrence's son, Liam. Anitra is my niece.
Liam's birth announcement cross-stitch. What a sweet boy Liam is.
Mary Ellen's Pillow. My mother asked me to do this stamped x stitch for her sister Mary Ellen.
Happy Trails. This is a counted piece I did for my brother, Larry, and his wife, Vicki, when they bought their Winnebago. I had a hard time finding a camper pattern. Finally one of the stitchers on my newsgroup snail mailed me this old chart.
I gave this to my daughter Bonnie to put in a give-a-way basket for her business.
Chef finished with frame. Made for Bonnie, my daughter.
Let not your heart be troubled. I did this as therapy and a prayer after we had a wreck on a very icy Montana road. I eventually gave it to a friend of mine in Hardin, MT who was moving to Rapid City, SD. She was very uneasy about moving. It all worked out for her and she now lives closer to her kids.
Montana. This is a design I made from the lyrics to the old cowboy song and some Montana symbols when we lived in Hardin, MT
Shhh Baby Sleeping. I made this piece into a tiny pillow to hang on my grandson Colin's door.

Colin's cross stitch birth announcement. For my grandson Colin. Changed the chart a little. It did say a Star is Born. I thought that was cheesy and he is a very classy guy!
Colin Reed Fowler x-stitch name. The pattern for the letters had only capitals so I had to design the small letters. The navy Aida was a challenge to see to stitch on. Had to have a lot of light above and below it!
Sweet Dreams xs pillow. My husband Jim always says Sweet Dreams every night before we go to sleep. I made this for our Montana home, but mostly I made it for Jim.
Bed Bugs Pillow for Chase and Kaiya, my granddaughters.
Love will keep us warm. This seemed appropriate to make for our cozy little home in Montana. It gets cold up there when the wind blows down from the mountains.

By "advance math" I refer to Real Analysis, Abstract Algebra and Linear Algebra (to the level of Axler). I received mainly Bs in these courses with the exception of the intro-level Linear Algebra. Since I intend to be a teacher, is it necessary to have mastered these subjects at the elementary level?
Is it necessary to know a lot of advance math to become a good junior high/high school teacher? [closed]

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
For high school, of course it must be clear that you have to know elementary algebra, probability and statistics, and calculus very well. Some high schools also have courses in linear algebra.
It will help you to teach these subjects if you are able to explain their underlying motivation, however, and you build your ability to do this by studying their advanced counterparts. It's difficult to make integrals interesting when you've never done any PDE, never done any analysis in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Most importantly, studying advanced material teaches you how to think like a mathematician, which is exactly what high school students need (but rarely get the chance) to see.
You can teach calculus classes out of a textbook, but you won't be a good teacher. Take pride in your work - be engaging and inspiring, not another lame high school teacher that bores kids to death and turns them off from math for life. Take advanced coursework now, while you're still in school.
It is neither necessary nor sufficient.
One of the best math teachers I've ever had probably doesn't remember much (if any) advanced math beyond linear algebra. I don't know how he performed as a math student himself, but I'm not sure it really matters. He is almost universally loved by his students, is very involved in the math team, and consistently challenges students to go beyond the routine algorithms and formulas. (For context, by the way, he teaches at Stuyvesant High School, a mathematical powerhouse.)
On the flip side, I've also had teachers who certainly knew advanced math very well, but were unable to communicate effectively even the basics to students. I won't belabor this point.
Of course, as Qiaochu points out, having an understanding of advanced math certainly couldn't hurt. For example, it might help provide a deeper context for some of the math you're teaching.
Now I'm not yet a teacher myself, so maybe you should take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. But as far as I can tell:

Lazio midfielder Hernanes scored a superb first-half goal then turned villain by missing one penalty and giving away another in a pulsating 1-1 derby draw with AS Roma on Monday.
Thirty-six-year-old forward Francesco Totti converted Roma's penalty but his side missed out on a win when Erik Lamela contrived to head over from two meters with the goal at his mercy late in the game. Lazio, who won the previous three Rome derbies, played the last 20 minutes with 10 men after Giuseppe Biava was sent off for a second bookable offense. The match was preceded by fan violence and police said two people were stabbed when rival groups of fans clashed in the city. Television pictures showed police in riot gear scuffling with a group of supporters who threw rocks and bottles near the Stadio Olimpico. Rome mayor Gianni Alemanno said that businesses in the area around the stadium had been forced to close during the clashes. Fifth-placed Lazio, seven points adrift of a Champions League playoff place, dominated the first half and Hernanes put them ahead with a superb effort in the 16th minute, cutting inside a defender and scoring in the top corner from 25 meters.

Police are looking for a peeping tom who was spotted Wednesday night outside a woman's dining room window near Colorado College.
Hannah Varnell was sitting with her college friends around the table that night around 8, when one of the girls saw a shadow by the window. When the shadow didn't go away, Varnell got up and looked.
She says she couldn't believe what she saw.
Outside in the cold was a man wearing a ski mask, with his pants down. He was touching himself.
When she realized what she was doing, Varnell told her friends and called police.
"Immediately we ran around, locked all the doors, covered all of our windows...we did call 911. But it was good to have everyone around because it was more of a silly and ridiculous thing."
When the man realized he'd been spotted, he didn't run or even pull his pants up. He simply walked away.
The suspect is described as a white male, 25-30 years old.
Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers at 719-634-STOP.

Alicia Renfro Glass and Alan Glass would like to announce the birth of their daughter Addison Kay Glass was born June, 12, 2012, at 1:18 p.m., weighing 5 lbs. and 13 ounces, and was 19 inches long.
She was welcomed home by her proud big brother William Glass, maternal grandparents Melissa Renfro and Bumper Renfro of Owenton. Paternal grandparents are Debbie and Jerry Kumkel of Stamping Ground and Dale and Robin Glass of Georgetown. Great-grandmothers Alice Osborne and Hazel Glass.
I didn't get to the mowing on Monday last. I kept holding out for more rain.
I finally started early on Thursday and mowed till it got hot then finished on Friday. We did get a half inch on Thursday and a full inch on Friday evening. Everything is green and growing now. I'll have to start my mowing routine again.
We have had enough rain around this area to put water back in Elkhorn Creek.
Don and Lucinda Renfro would like to invite all friends and family to attend the marriage of their daughter, Brianna Clark, to Nathan Duvall, the son of Danny and Kim Duvall. The wedding will take place at 6:30 p.m., Saturday, July 28, 2012, at Greenup Fork Baptist church.
A reception will follow at the Owen County exhibit building.
After last week, this one has been relatively calm.
We got some much needed rain but with it came the wind. Fay said it was very strong at her house. Their corn was blown over and dead limbs scattered across her yard.
Meet Charlie Moormon. The slender, whiskered gentleman from the Cincinnati Museum Center presented a program on riverboats at the historical society meeting July 12. His love of the river and the steamboats which once crowded its expanse was evident as he relived the early days of steam powered boats and the vital role they played in the history of America.
We got almost an inch of rain on Saturday. It took all afternoon, but it fell beautifully, right straight down and soaked into the parched soil. My grass is turning green again. The overcast day yesterday helped. That was the welcome big news of this week but this next story is a close second.
John Gaines and Casey Wright would like to welcome their new baby girl, Sophia Nichole Gaines. She was born June 18, 2012 at Frankfort Regional Medical Center, weighing 6 lbs. and 6 ounces and was 18 1/2 inches long. She was delivered by Dr. Angela Saxena. Maternal grandparents are DeeAnna Wolfe and Steve Wright and paternal grandparents are Gary Gaines, Amanda Gaines and Barbara Daniels.

Olympic Committee On Munich Moment of Silence Refusal: 'Muslims Tied Our Hands'
Posted By Jeff Dunetz On July 18, 2012 @ 12:35 am In Daily Mailer,FrontPage | 7 Comments
Originally published at YidWithLid.
Ankie Spitzer whose husband was murdered by Palestinian terrorists during the 1972 Munich Olympics has been fighting to have a minute of silence at the London Games to remember the eleven murdered victims.
Her efforts have been supported by the governments of much of the western world, but they have been rejected by the International Olympic Committee.
The organisation and its president Jacques Rogge have been subject to intense criticism from across the international community for its continued refusal to honour the 11 Israel Olympians murdered at the 1972 Munich Games with a minutes silence to mark the 40th anniversary of the killings, in what has been presented as a humanitarian gesture.
Munich widow Ankie Spitzer spearheaded the campaign by launching an online protest, which has since garnered support from across political spectrums in several countries including Israel, Canada, the UK, Australia, the US, Belgium and Germany.
In the latest development, some 140 Italian parliamentarians signed a letter to Rogge this week, calling for minutes silence to be instituted.
Ankie wrote a letter to Olympic officials requesting and an official silence to mark the 40th anniversary of the Munich Massacres, which said in part:
Silence is a fitting tribute for athletes who lost their lives on the Olympic stage. Silence contains no statements, assumptions or beliefs and requires no understanding of language to interpret.
Rogges succinct response declared that "within the Olympic family, the memory of the victims of the terrible massacre in Munich in 1972 will never fade away."
According to Spitzer, earlier this year when the two met in person Rogge protested his inability to act saying his hands were tied by admission of 46 Arab and Muslim members to the IOC. No, Spitzer she responded, my husbands hands were tied, not yours.
In 1972 when the massacre took place, the IOC refused to delay or cancel the games to recognize the murder of the eleven Israeli athletes. Forty years later, the International Olympic Committee has reconfirmed its message to the world. Jewish blood doesn't matter –we will not do what's right because we are afraid of upsetting anti-Semites in the Muslim world.

If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
best retort ever
Rogge protested his inability to act saying his hands were tied by admission of 46 Arab and Muslim members to the IOC.
It doesn't seem they even protested, this Rogge just decided to avoid a theoretical conflict. If this is true, they have lost the war against radicals, succumbed.
Q. What's the difference between a Muslim state and a rogue, terrorist-sponsoring state?
Up to this moment I'd lost 90% of my interest in the Olympics. Now-—What Olympics? Are they still having them. (Sound of crickets)
Once there was a thing called "Olympic Ideals". Yes, children it was true. Every four years IDEALISTIC young people gathered...... Oh well.
Israel, Canada, the UK, Australia, the US, Belgium and Germany should wear ribbons to show support! Screw the terrorist! What are they gonna do?...Pull out?
Sometimes what is morally wrong just up and stares you in the face but many people still refuse to see it. The Olympics will continue to decline from such actions, people will cease to care for it stands for nothing.
Indeed. And the proper response to the islamonazi slime would have been "Sorry you won't be attending our little event. Please do get back to us when you've become a civilized country. Have a nice day."
Oh yeah. Publicly associating Islam with terrorism — in London of all places. You've got a better chance of seeing God.
Olympic Committee adds dhimmitude to its very long list of heinous, reprehensible characteristics.
Once more, Muslims acting like Muslims.
These swine should not be allowed to participate in any international competitions along with being barred from entry to any non-Muslim nation.
So while muslim IOC members refuse to allow a moment of silence in memory of the brutal muslim murder of Jewish athletes at the Olympics, London is preparing for muslim attacks on the Olympics, 40 years later.
Some things NEVER change.
The Olympics have always been political.
Maybe during the opening ceremonies just stand stock still for a minute also? Just stop everything?
In fact, it is already here!
Mmmm, lets see now, who is more of a "threat" to the safety and security of the United States among these 2?
And of these 2, which is more dangerous to our survival?
For a detailed description of the Muslim Brotherhood their goals and what damage they have done and the real threat they pose, see the following:
Muslim Brotherhood in America Part
IF after viewing this video, one does not come away with the resolve to do whatever it takes to defeat Barack Hussein Obama, then I worry about the future of our Great Republic.
from page 261 of the paperback edition of The Audacity of Hope.
The Olympics is already an arm of the U.N.
This is how the U.N. covers the sports arena.
NWO sports.....what could possibly go wrong?
nope..it has to be something noticeable...so all can see..a ribbon lapel pin (bigger than the polo label)....a silence would be talked over by the spineless libtard media
Oh yeas, of course...I was thinking in addition to your ribbon idea...
Ahh, it would not happen anyway...would take to much courage to stop the ceremonies, to stop moving when they should be moving...to coordinate it quietly...never work.
Yeh. They tied their hands, too.
Indeed. Would anyone notice if they weren't there? Are any muslim countries likely to win even a single medal, since they aren't having any 'stone the Jew' competitions.
Thanks for posting.
What a disgrace! And now they have a major influence in one more arena- the Olympics. Who will be next to bow down?
What a perfect come-back!
If the IOC assented to the moment of silence the moslem crybabies would probably boycott the games. While that probably wouldn't bother the rest of us, the internationalists and multiculturalists in our midst would weep copiously.
I remember the 1972 Munich games vividly. I will never forget the atrocity that occurred there. And this was before I ever had the misfortune to learn that certain people who called themselves "conservatives" didn't think Israel worthy of support or that liberals considered themselves Israel's champions. This was one of those things where politics don't matter. This cold-blooded murder will remain a stain on the Olympic movement forever.
Avery Brundage may have been an old-fashioned Olympian with regard to amateur standards but he was also unfortunately anti-Semitic and before World War II was an admirer of Nazi Germany.

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Amidst car bombs and mortars, the United States and antagonist Iran put aside their bitter enmity and held what all sides agreed was a constructive day of talks on ways to restore stability to Iraq. Then, at a press conference, U.S. and Iranian officials let loose with the familiar harsh exchanges.
The results of the seven-hour conference, hosted by Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, may seem meager, consisting of an agreement to set up committees to deal with issues of security, displaced persons and fuel.
Still, it was the first meeting of its kind since U.S. troops invaded Iraq four years ago and toppled the regime of the late dictator Saddam Hussein and it is likely to lead to a meeting at the foreign ministers' level in the next month.
"The meeting was constructive and positive in fact in its atmosphere and the composition," Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari told reporters. "The issues discussed in the meeting were totally focused on Iraq's security and stability."
Throughout the talks, U.S. and Iranian officials stayed on opposite sides of a large rectangular table, buffered by 14 other nations, and their body language both during and after the talks suggested they were not quite ready for direct negotiations.
Indirect talks
At the news conference that followed, U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad reiterated accusations that Iran was endangering coalition troops by smuggling weapons and funding militias in Iraq.
"They have stated today that they support Iraq, that they support the reconciliation effort," Khalilzad told reporters. "These are all good sentiments . . . they're good but not sufficient. These good sentiments have to be translated into action."
As Khalilzad walked out, the Iranian delegation walked in, and the head of the delegation took to the podium to place the blame for instability in Iraq on U.S. led coalition forces. He called the war, and the latest accusations against Iran, products of American "intelligence failure." Then he called for a timetable for withdrawal.
"We think the presence of foreign forces in Iraq can not help the security of Iraq in the long term," said Abbas Araghchi, deputy foreign minister for legal and international affairs. "We are in fact facing a vicious cycle in Iraq. The presence of foreign forces in Iraq justifies violence in that country and violence is used to justify the presence of foreign forces."
Asking for commitment
Al-Maliki opened the conference in a cramped auditorium at the foreign ministry compound by asking all participants to commit themselves to the stability of Iraq, to stop supporting the insurgency and take their disputes elsewhere.
"Iraq does not allow itself to intrude on others' affairs, or its territories to be a launching pad for attacks against others," he said. "We, in the meantime expect to have the same stance from others."
Khalilzad briefly shook Araghchi's hand, before they turned away from each other and walked off.
Upstairs in the closed-door sessions, a large rectangular table separated the two delegations. On one side Khalilzad sat with David Satterfield, senior adviser on Iraq to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. On the other Zebari sat with Araghchi on his left. At least seven nation's seperated the two feuding nations.
In true Baghdad style the meeting was accompanied by the sounds of two powerful explosions from mortar attacks on the compound a little before 2 p.m. local time. Zebari told the delegate who was speaking to continue.
"I asked the speaker to carry on. You see they are bad targets they never get it right," he quipped.
The meeting brought together mid-level ministers from neighboring nations, Arab countries and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council.
Washington has accused Iran of endangering coalition troops with deadly homemade bombs of Iranian origin, although the use of the projectiles in fact is thought to have caused a small percentage of total deaths of U.S. soldiers.
Iran for its part has charged the United States with responsibility for the kidnapping of an Iranian diplomat in Baghdad and holding five Iranians from an Irbil raid in January. The men five were not diplomats but worked in a liaison office in the Kurdish city, according to the U.S. and Iraqi governments.
Iraq's foreign minister described the talks as "friendly," and "professional" but he said the U.S.-Iranian exchanges were "lively."
"I think it was very clear about the transit of terrorists of arms of weapons of explosives," Zebari said. "We as the Iraqi government have raised the issue repeatedly with the respective governments. It is in nobody's interest to see Iraq fail because there would be a spill over."
The Iranian delegation told reporters that the meeting was a success and "constructive," but quickly said the U.S. has made mistakes.
"I think Americans are unfortunately suffering from intelligence failure," Araghchi said. "They have made so many mistakes and wrong policies in Iraq because of false information they had at the beginning. We hope that they don't repeat the previous mistakes."
The mortars that briefly interrupted the international talks were far from the only violence in the Iraqi capital.
Three car bombs, one on the outskirts of Sadr City, killed at least six and injured at least 27. Another a homemade bomb killed 3 Iraqi soldiers in west Baghdad and a suicide bomber in another neighborhood killed one and injured two. Mortar attacks hit across the capital, and 12 corpses were found.

A 26-year-old Stop & Shop employee called police after a 70-year-old Hull man tried to wire $5,000 through Western Union at the store on Wednesday morning (April 23) to a man in Wyoming for a package of gold bullion, police said. The employee did not allow the transaction because he thought the man might be the victim of a scam and warned him about that. The Hull man showed the employee an email from Cheyenne, Wyo., that contained the promise of gold bullion for the money.
Police located the man who was shopping in the store. He appeared upset and agitated and refused to produce the email, stressing it was not a scam, police said.
Police said he had arrived on the senior shuttle from Hull; they informed the van driver of the situation. A longtime friend was contacted and made aware of the situation.
Acting Chief William Quigley praised the employee.
"It's really nice to see a young person looking out for a senior citizen," he said. "This Stop and Shop employee did everything right, from preventing the transaction to calling the police."
Cohasset police have distributed posters and signs at Stop & Shop, Shaw's, the Senior Center, Tedeschi's, and other locations around town, alerting residents to be aware of scams.

Q: I recently bumped into a neighbor who has been ill for the past year. Her appearance was dramatically different, and she had lost a considerable amount of weight. I didn't say anything about it and wondered afterward if I had done the right thing.
A: "If she looked better than she used to, it would have been kind to say so. If she looked worse, it was kind not to. And if you were in doubt, saying nothing was a good call."
— Jack Marshall, president, ProEthics
"I do think it's insensitive not to acknowledge someone's illness. But there's no need to call attention to their outwardly changed appearance. You might have said, 'I heard you'd been ill; it's so nice to see you here tonight.'"

Penpix of the Australian teams playing in this season's Super 15 series, which starts on Friday.
Coach: Jake White
Captain: Ben Mowen
Stadium: Canberra Stadium
Best finish: Champions (2001, 2004)
Under former World Cup-winning Springboks coach Jake White, the Brumbies narrowly failed to win last season's Australian conference and a place in the play-offs with a final-round loss to the Auckland Blues. The Brumbies have bolstered their squad with the addition of Wallabies' star flanker David Pocock from Western Force and South African lock Etienne Oosthuizen, while former Wallaby back Clyde Rathbone has come out of a three-year retirement. White has also recruited former National Rugby League coach Brian Smith as the team's defence coach. The Brumbies have a core of experience with Wallabies Stephen Moore, Ben Alexander and Pat McCabe and some exciting young talent in Matt Toomua, Joseph Tomane, Henry Speight and Christian Lealiifano. The White influence should have the Brumbies among Australia's leading challengers for the Super 15 title.
Coach: Damien Hill
Captain: Gareth Delve
Stadium: AAMI Park
Best finish: 13th (2012)
The Rebels embark on their third Super Rugby season bolstered by hooker Shota Horie, who is in line to become the first Japanese player in the competition's 17-year history, and the arrival of Wallaby backrower Scott Higginbotham from the Queensland Reds. Much of the Rebels' hopes hinge on their Wallaby duo Kurtley Beale and James O'Connor, who missed much of last season through injury. Welsh number eight Gareth Delve will be a driving influence in the forwards. Damien Hill is into his second term as coach since taking over from coach Rod Macqueen. The Rebels, missing the experience this year of senior backs Mark Gerrard and Stirling Mortlock, face a challenge to test the other strong Australian teams as they continue to lay foundations of rugby in the Australian Football League heartland of Melbourne.
Coach: Michael Cheika
Captain: Dave Dennis
Stadium: Allianz Stadium
Best finish: Runners-up (2005, 2008)
The Waratahs are Australia's great Super Rugby under-achievers, given the large number of Wallabies in their squad, and Michael Cheika has the task as the incoming head coach from Leinster to realise glory for the Sydney-based team. The Waratahs have added emerging flanker Michael Hooper and former rugby league international back Israel Folau to their ranks, to be led this season by blindside flanker Dave Dennis. The Waratahs won only four games out of 16 last season, leading to the departure of Michael Foley who is now coach of Western Force. If Cheika can turn it around, the 'Tahs have the attacking players in Adam Ashley-Cooper, Berrick Barnes, Rob Horne, Israel Folau, Drew Mitchell and Lachie Turner to match any backline in Super Rugby. The trick will be to realise it.
Coach: Richard Graham
Captain: James Horwill
Stadium: Suncorp Stadium
Best finish: Champions (2011)
The Reds failed in their bid for back-to-back Super Rugby titles when they went down to the Coastal Sharks in the play-offs, after winning six straight matches to get to their home qualifying final as Australian conference champions. The 2011 winners have a new head coach in last year's Western Force mentor Richard Graham, with Ewen McKenzie moving above him in a director of coaching role. Much of the Reds' hopes this season hinge on the creativity of their Wallaby halves Quade Cooper and Will Genia behind a strong forward pack, led by skipper James Horwill. A strong all-round squad features Wallaby backs Digby Ioane, Michael Harris and Ben Tapuai. The Reds are expected to push strongly to finish top of the Australian conference along with their traditional rivals, the ACT Brumbies and NSW Waratahs.
Coach: Michael Foley
Captain: Alby Mathewson
Stadium: NIB Stadium
Best finish: Seventh (2007)
Western Force have struggled to make an impact in their seven Super Rugby seasons and have been much changed under new coach Michael Foley in a bid to become competitive. They have recruited four-time All Black scrum-half Alby Mathewson and Central Cheetahs flyhalf Sias Ebersohn to solve their problems in the halves, while adding former Wallabies lock Hugh McMeniman and utility back Sam Norton-Knight from Japanese clubs. But skipper David Pocock's defection to the Brumbies will be a huge loss. The Force will be looking for an improvement in fortunes this season, as they have in other years.

Last week, the European Commission (EC) released a draft revision of its 1995 data protection rules for the stated purpose of strengthening online privacy rights and Europe's digital economy. But the rules threaten the viability of data-driven businesses, from Google to credit bureaus, critics contend.
The EC says that a single streamlined set of rules will save businesses billions in administrative work. The rules require: notification of national data authorities as soon as possible following a serious data breach; explicit rather than assumed consent for data collection; easier consumer access to data and easier transfer of that data to other providers; and support for a "right to be forgotten," which gives consumers the option under some circumstances to have their data deleted from third-party service providers.
The fine for violating these European Union (EU) data rules is substantial: up to 1 million Euros or up to 2% of global annual revenue. Under this regime, Google's collection of Wi-Fi network data through its Street View cars, disclosed in 2010, could have cost the company $586 million, had the EU chosen to punish the company to the full extent of the law.
[ Sometimes data protection means less privacy. Read Stolen iPhone Saved By iCloud. ]
Google helped lead the protest against SOPA and PIPA, U.S. legislation that would have harmed the Internet and forced Internet companies to protect content companies. The EU data rules don't threaten the flow of information in the same way. Rather, they threaten the existence of information online, through rules like Article 17, the "right to be forgotten and to erasure," and Article 20, which forbids the exclusive use of automated data processing for determining, among other things, creditworthiness or work performance.
Try to imagine an information economy starved of information. The concept clearly has potential problems.
"Article 17 will give EU residents an unprecedented inalienable right to control and delete facts that were once voluntarily communicated by the subject," explained Jane Yakowitz, visiting assistant professor of Brooklyn Law School, in an online post.
EU justice commissioner Viviane Reding described that right thus in a statement last week: "If an individual no longer wants his personal data to be processed or stored by a data controller, and if there is no legitimate reason for keeping it, the data should be removed from their system."
Article 17 has some limits. The proposed rules recognize that people can't have the right to erase history, hinder free expression, harm public health, or impede scientific research with their desire to delete their data.
But Yakowitz argues the limits are undermined by restrictive wording and draconian fines.
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.
