Five examples of nontraditional psychosocial treatments used for children/adolescents are reviewed: eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, electroencephalographic (EEG) biofeedback, deep pressure/touch therapies, stress-challenge treatments, and confrontational scare treatments. The generic recommendations from the September 1992 National Institutes of Health Conference on Unconventional Medical Treatments are summarized. Additional screening principles specific for psychosocial treatments are proposed and applied to the five treatments. The screens do not validate treatment efficacy or evaluate the quality of any previous research, but only facilitate decisions as to whether treatments deserve controlled investigation. Scientific evaluation of the nontraditional treatments reviewed could in general benefit from blinds (at least for assessment); control conditions matched for intensity, frequency, and duration (double blind where feasible); dose-response studies; testing of generalization and endurance supplements or boosters for quick, cheap treatments with time- or domain-limited effects; and comparing cost-effectiveness with established treatments. Two unscientific pitfalls must be avoided: embracing new treatments uncritically and rejecting them without fair examination. These pitfalls must be skirted without dissipating scarce research resources.

text: My husband and I are planning a trip in May for 7-8 nights. We could fly into either SJO or Liberia, and will be renting a car. We want to spend 2 nights or so near Arenal and the rest of the time at the beach. I'm looking for mid-range accommodations with things like a balcony with a view, hammocks, on-site yoga, near a town with a few decent options for dinner, but we don't need a lot of nightlife. We would also like to do some stand-up paddling or possibly surfing. Santa Teresa looks perfect for this (for example, I like the idea of Pranamar Villas or Horizon Yoga Hotel) but we're concerned about how long it will take and how difficult it will be to drive there. Samara seems like a good alternative (or anywhere between Nosara and Carillo) that would be easier to get to, but I haven't seen any hotel options that I'm really excited about. We would love some recommendations for this area - or, should we go to Santa Teresa instead (is it worth the drive?)

Much of Oklahoma is under a freezing fog advisory, but forecasters predict temperatures will warm up later in the day.
The National Weather Service issued the freezing fog advisory for the eastern two-thirds of the state until midmorning Thursday. Forecasters say a thin glaze of ice could form on bridges and overpasses.
Visibility will range from a half-mile to 2 miles.
Temperatures will warm up once the fog lifts. Forecasters say most areas in Oklahoma will see high temperatures in the 50s on Thursday.

Jack Reacher
- Studio: Paramount Pictures
- Release Date: Dec 21, 2012
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
In terms of pure pop entertainment value, you'll be hard-pressed to find a more smartly constructed, beautifully shot, pulse-pounding movie this holiday season.
Christopher McQuarrie and Tom Cruise deliver on their promise, with a witty, violent take on Reacher that makes up for its lack of height with an abundance of smarts and thrills.
Tom Cruise is in fine form as mysterious tough guy Jack Reacher finally reaches the big screen.
A superior thriller, with Cruise and McQuarrie slotting together like a bullet in a clip. Like Reacher on the firing range, the aim isn't always true – but the misses are fractional.
Werner Herzog, better known as one of the finest living directors, plays a bad guy with Teutonic relish. If he doesn't watch it, he'll have a whole other career for himself playing dead-eyed villains.
Cruise's Jack Reacher is a loner who doesn't smile, charm, love the ladies, aim his index fingers to the heavens or sing "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" in bars. Here he just snarls and kills people. Yes, please, and let's have more of the same.
This is Cruise's show. And he nails it. The patented smile is gone, replaced by a glower that makes Jack Reacher a dark and dazzling ride into a new kind of hell.
A trim thriller with an enviable lack of grandeur. [21 Jan. 2013, p.79]
Cruise is definitely too short for the gig, but in this first fight, he proves his tough-guy chops. Outraged Reacher readers can stand down.
This violent, sometimes brutal suspense thriller was thus quite a surprise, both in how effectively Cruise creates a commanding physical presence despite his lack of size, and for how well the film works in general.
The bigger problem is that Cruise, as Reacher, has no wit and no style, other than the studiously applied kind. He's so desperate to do everything right that nearly everything he does comes off all wrong.
Beat by beat, Jack Reacher is just like Child's paperbacks in the best possible way: it's fast, fun, and smarter than it looks.
McQuarrie... is a real writer; his banter has snap and bite. His directorial skills are still catching up with his writing skills; the movie loses steam in the final half-hour.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Staying in Shape During Sports Season
Know Your Limits continued...
Space your workouts so that your muscles get a chance to rest. It takes at least a day for them to repair and strengthen themselves. So mix things up by doing upper-body strength training one day, then focus on your legs the next, and another day on your core muscles like your abs. (Don't forget the cardio!)
You should also vary the sports you play, rather than playing the same sport year-round. "We recommend that kids don't specialize in just one sport," Chesnutt says. "If you do, you risk overuse injuries."
If You Get Injured
You need to know what to do if you are injured, in order to heal and to prevent making a bad thing worse. That is not always easy.
"Boys are very competitive, and instead of telling anyone they are hurt, they play through the injury," Chesnutt says.
Big mistake. Speaking up about your injury should be a priority. Why? Do the math.
"A strained muscle might keep you out of the game for three to five days," Hubal says. "That sounds like a lot, but if you do it further injury, you can count on being benched for weeks."
And even a minor injury can easily turn major if it is ignored.
"The risk goes up logarithmically," Hubal says. "Five to ten times the risk of further injury."
So take it easy, but don't retreat to the couch. Keep exercising, only at a much less intense level. That's called active recovery.
"Be active, but don't put any stress on the injured muscle," Hubal says. "You can ride a bike or go swimming, just make sure the exercise is specific to the injury so you don't make it worse."
Finally, if you are injured, get good advice -- from a pro -- on how to heal.
"Kids should not be making these decisions, and neither should their parents," Hubal says. "A sports medicine specialist should be involved."
Eat Better, Play Better
After a workout or a game, your muscles need glycogen, the fuel they consume while you are active. Your body can make glycogen from carbohydrates.

Bombing survivor heading home

A woman who lost her leg in the Boston Marathon bombings is heading home.
Thewoodman: Obama always has been a great orator. He can arose a crowd every time. The problem is that the words he speaks always seem like he is reflecting on his own actions of dividing America by race, pitting one group against another, keeping those in poverty in poverty, disrespecting our friends and enabling our enemies like Iran. However, let's turn to the BIGGEST NEWS FROM YESTERDAY. When Trump said, with tongue in cheek, that it would be great if Russia found Hillary's 33,000 missing E-mails, She and her campaign immediately, finally admitted that doing so would be a breach of security because he is advocating exposing classified information, if they did recover the destroyed, personal E-mails she wiped from her server. Hillary admits that the 33,000 E-mails were not personal at all, but extremely reveling of her corruption and lies. Thank you Hillary for admitting you are not fit to be president.

Oops, something didn't work.
Jim and Ward,
The only problem people ran into with any development processes are:
1. Management – Let me be in charge attitude
2. Communication –playing a broken phone and assumptions on the parties involved.
So, many times I ran into so much Politics within the company that it is not even funny. No matter what methodology you would use it would not work until on ALL levels of the "FOOD CHAIN" are agreed on the objectives.
The advantages of XP are:
1.Involment of the end-user in the development processes. Consulting companies always ended up to be isolated from the end-user. This is huge project risk.
2. Small amount of documentation or just docs that are needed to communicate the point across boundaries.
I agree that XP mostly works for small teams. One reason for it is that people have to get alone and stop playing politics in order to succeed.
Keep up good work, guys

Set Up Temporary Slop Sinks
No matter how many times you run the dishwasher or hand-wash items as you use them, the cleaning crew can not keep up with the piles of dirty dishes. The problem comes when left over food dries and hardens. Make life easier by setting up a few temporary slop sinks. Just fill a large plastic tub with soapy lukewarm water and pile dishes in until you can get around to properly cleaning them—even if that means (gasp!) overnight.

My research interests lie primarily in the modeling of infectious diseases, both on the molecular level (using approaches from computational and systems biology) as well as on the population level (using approaches from epidemiology and biostatistics). I am particularlly interested in the interactions between science, medicine and policy as they relate to improving patient outcomes, especially in low-income, low-resource settings.
I hold a PhD in Applied Mathematics from MIT and a BSc in Mathematics and Computer Science from McGill University. My doctoral work focused on metabolic models of tuberculosis (TB). I have been working in Ted Cohen's group since September 2012. I recently submitted a paper on a joint model of the TB and HIV epidemics in Southern Africa and I am currently working on identifying mixed TB infection in a population.
Between my PhD and my postdoctoral fellowship I worked as a computational biologist at Pfizer, developing methods for interpreting gene expression, genetic and metabolomic data using a large network of known biological relationships. I also spent some time working at the Massachusetts General Hospital and the Clinton Health Access Initiative.
News I have been offered - and accepted - an Assistant Professor position at Simon Fraser University, in the School of Computing Science! I am actively looking for excellent, highly motivated students, so if you are interested in working on any of the topics above please send me an email!

More Storms Could Create Flooding In Chicago AreaThunderstorms moving through the Chicago area have prompting a flash flood watch for all of northeastern Illinois, and a flash flood warning for a smaller part of the Chicago area.
Storms Soak Morning Commute, More Likely Monday AfternoonA fast-moving line of storms that brought heavy rain and high winds to the Chicago area Monday morning was likely just the first taste of severe weather for northern Illinois and northwestern Indiana.
Incoming Storms Prompt Flash Flood Watch South Of I-80A large storm system heading northeast from Missouri will mostly stay to the south of the Chicago area, but could bring steady heavy rainfall to suburbs and parts of northwest Indiana south of I-80, while only grazing areas north of that.
Flash Flood Watch Canceled As Rain Tapers Off"The threat of very heavy rainfall and flash flooding has diminished," the National Weather Service said in a statement around 4 a.m.
More Heavy Rain, Damaging Storms Expected To Hit Wednesday NightWith several areas south and west of Chicago only starting the recovery process after nine tornadoes touched down during Monday night's storms, more severe weather was expected to hit the area Wednesday night and early Thursday.
Stormy Afternoon Ahead, With Chances For Flash FloodingAs heat and humidity build through the day on Monday, so will the chances for showers and thunderstorms.
City, Suburbs Under Flash Flood WatchChicago and area counties will be under a flash flood watch throughout Monday.
Burbank Residents Fear More Flooding From Latest StormRain fell steadily across the Chicago area Wednesday morning, and though the storm system has begun clearing out as it heads east, more rain could be on the way Wednesday evening.
Flash Flood Warning Issued For Much Of Chicago Area Several Chicago-area counties are under a flash flood warning as "torrential" thunderstorms move across the metro area.
Heavy Rain, Thunderstorms Expected, Flash Flood Watch IssuedStrong storms bringing heavy rainfall to the Chicago area Sunday night could cause flash flooding, according to the National Weather Service.
Flood Threat Remains As More Storms Sweep InFlood watches and warnings remain in effect across the Chicago area, a day after the region was hit with heavy rain that left basements and streets inundated.
Flash Flood Watch Issued For ChicagoThe showers and thunderstorms that moved into the Chicago area Wednesday are expected to continue, prompting a flash flood watch to be issued.

* Retail index suffers back-to-back March, Feb decline * Food inflation, weaker wage growth pinch family budgets * Retailers cut payroll, operating costs to protect profit By Brad Haynes and Silvio Cascione SAO PAULO, May 15 Brazilian retail sales fell in the first quarter for the first time since 2008, as higher inflation and weaker wage growth eroded the consumer confidence that has kept Latin America's largest economy growing. Weak demand may add to frustrations for President Dilma Rousseff, whose government slashed interest rates to ignite an economic rebound only to find a spike in consumer prices has pinched families' spending. Sales volumes in Brazil slipped a seasonally adjusted 0.1 percent in March from February after a downwardly revised 0.5 percent drop in February, statistics agency IBGE said on Wednesday. As a result the retail index fell 0.2 percent in the first three months of the year from the end of 2012 - its weakest quarter since a 0.5 percent drop at the end of 2008. Softening consumer demand is dimming what had been one of the few bright spots in a sluggish Brazilian economy. A spike in food prices dragged supermarket sales sharply lower, highlighting tighter family budgets despite record-low unemployment and borrowing costs. Free-spending consumers have helped keep Brazil out of recession in recent years amid weak investment and industrial production. "More and more, the importance of consumption is going to decline. It's going to stop being the driver of the economy. We have to count more on a recovery of investments," said economist Camila Monteiro at BNY Mellon Arx in Rio de Janeiro, highlighting the sharp contraction of demand at supermarkets, which make up about half of the IBGE retail index. The 2.1 percent drop in supermarket and other food sales in March was the worst monthly decline in the segment since February 2008. Food costs in the benchmark IPCA consumer price index rose 14 percent in the 12 months to March. As inflation ate into Brazilians' paychecks over the past year, families have dialed back their once-soaring optimism. Measures of consumer confidence plunged to a three-year low this year from an all-time high last year, according to the Getulio Vargas Foundation, an economics think tank. Retailers and consumer goods companies have responded to the slowdown by cutting payroll and production costs in order to maintain profitability. Grupo Pão de Açúcar SA , Brazil's biggest retailer, thinned its executive ranks to offset pressure on its supermarkets division. Hypermarcas SA combined assembly lines to boost profit margins despite the softening demand for its medicine and hygiene products. Convinced they can outperform a cooling market, Brazil's biggest retailers are also betting on expansions into less competitive markets to keep revenue growing. But investors are uncertain how much more fat retailers can burn if sales fail to pick up this year. An index of consumer-focused companies on the Sao Paulo stock exchange is nearly flat this year after a 40 percent jump last year. Retail sales had been expected to fall 0.3 percent, according to the median estimate of 33 economists polled by Reuters. Forecasts ranged from a declined of 1.5 percent to a rise of 1.2 percent. Sales growth in February from January was revised to a 0.5 percent drop, from a previously reported 0.4 percent decline. March's retail sales rose 4.5 percent from the year-earlier period, the IBGE added, more than the 3.8 percent median estimate in the Reuters poll. Forecasts ranged from a gain of 2.2 percent to 7.0 percent.Mar/Feb Mar/Mar12 Retail sales index -0.1 4.5 Fuel and lubricants 2.4 3.6 Supermarkets, food, beverages and -2.1 4.0 tobacco Supermarkets -1.8 4.3 Textiles, apparel and footwear 3.9 5.9 Furniture and household appliances 0.7 -0.8 Pharmaceutical, medical, ortopedic -1.9 4.7 materials, toiletries, cosmetics Office, computer and communication -5.2 -2.2 material and equipment Books, newspapers, magazines and -2.9 3.9 stationery Other articles of personal and 0.7 14.9 household use Broad retail sales index 0.2 3.0 Vehicles and motorcycles, parts 1.9 1.2 and pieces Construction material 0.7 -0.1

Is this the fastest rebuttal of a denier study in history?
The deniers have been trumpeting an atrocious study that made it into the July 23 edition of Journal of Geophysical Research, "Influence of the Southern Oscillation on tropospheric temperature." The top anti-scientific blog, WattsUpWithThat crowed, "Surge in global temperatures since 1977 can be attributed to a 1976 climate shift in the Pacific Ocean":
A new peer-reviewed climate study is presenting a head on challenge to man-made global warming claims.
But let's not waste time quoting that "atrocious paper," as RealClimate puts it, with a couple of debunking links here. The occasional atrocious denier paper sometimes makes it through the peer-reviewed process. What's truly remarkable here is that some of the top climate scientists in the country already have a response submitted for publication in JGR — see full article here.
Last year saw "A new Olympic record for retraction of a denier talking point," but this would seem to be some sort of a world record for scientific rebuttal.
The 9 (!) rebuttal authors span the globe from Japan to the UK to New Zealand to Colorado and New York, reading like a who's who of global climate science: G. Foster, J. D. Annan, P. D. Jones, M. E. Mann, B. Mullan, J. Renwick, J. Salinger, G. A. Schmidt, and K. E. Trenberth. Here's the abstract:
McLean et al. [2009] (henceforth MFC09) claim that the El Ni±o/Southern Oscillation (ENSO), as represented by the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), accounts for as much as 72% of the global tropospheric temperature anomaly (GTTA) and an even higher 81% of this anomaly in the tropics. They conclude that the SOI is a "dominant and consistent influence on mean global temperatures," "and perhaps recent trends in global temperatures". However, their analysis is incorrect in a number of ways, and greatly overstates the influence of ENSO on the climate system. This comment first briefly reviews what is understood about the influence of ENSO on global temperatures, then goes on to show that the analysis of MFC09 severely overestimates the correlation between temperature anomalies and the SOI by inflating the power in the 2-6 year time window while filtering out variability on longer and shorter time scales. It is only because of this faulty analysis that they are able to claim such extremely high correlations. The suggestion in their conclusions that ENSO may be a major contributor to recent trends in global temperature is not supported by their analysis or any physical theory presented in that paper, especially as the analysis method itself eliminates the influence of trends on the purported correlations.
Ouch! One wonders how MFC09 made it through peer review in the first place. JGR really, really screwed up. Here is the conclusion of Foster et al.:
It has been well known for many years that ENSO is associated with significant variability in global mean temperatures on interannual timescales. However, this relationship (which, contrary to the claim of MFC09, is simulated by global climate models, e.g. Santer et al. [2001]) cannot explain temperature trends on decadal and longer time scales. The analysis of MFC09 grossly overstates the influence of ENSO, primarily by filtering out any signal on decadal and longer time scales. Their method of analysis is a priori incapable of addressing the question of causes of long-term climate change. In fact, the general rise in temperatures over the 2nd half of the 20th century is very likely predominantly due to anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases [IPCC, 2007].
Doh. Or is that Duh?
Either way, this won't silence the deniers — since they are not persuadable by evidence (see "Can you PROVE to me that global warming is being caused by mankind?"*). But everyone else can rest assured that the scientific process works itself out, 99 peer-reviewed papers out of 100 make clear humans are already changing the climate, and, tragically, the threat to the health and well-being of the next 50 generations posed by human-generated emissions of GHGs remains unabated.
Very big hat tip to Andy Revkin (his twitter comments are here) for sending me the link to Foster et al.
17 Responses to Is this the fastest rebuttal of a denier study in history?
It is really sad that this blog has to spend so much time refuting the deniers. The only thing sadder is the increasingly frightening scientific data demonstrating how bad things are going to get even if we get our acts together…
I think this rebuttal has only been submitted, as indicated on Trenberth's page:
but it seems very likely to be accepted. Even so, the PR effect for contrarians is already out there, and like most of their debunked claims, it will continue to persist.
[JR: You are correct and I fixed that.]
It's also notable that the study itself doesn't support the "ENSO causes most of the warming trend". There's only a passing comment in their conclusion – something like it "may contribute" to the trend. It was Bob Carter (one of the study's authors), along with the denialsphere, who took it much further than anything suggested in the study, which I think reveals much about Carter's integrity. So if it wasn't for the passing comment in the conclusion, a reviewer might find that part of the rebuttal irrelevant.
The "trend" statement aside, the study itself is rather sloppy and the comment exposes several other errors.
I want to point out a comment on Tamino's blog – a message apparently from the editors of the journal in question.
"A message on behalf of the editors of JGR Atmospheres: as editors, we do not discuss the details of the peer review process and we will also not do that in this case. We will say that despite all the hard efforts made by reviewers and editors, the peer review process is not perfect. Occasionally, papers that contain errors or controversial statements without adequate discussion do get accepted for publication. In these cases, JGR Atmospheres encourages the scientific community to submit comments and discuss these papers in the peer-reviewed literature."
It could be interpreted as a subtle admission that they screwed up. I don't think one needs that much expertise to spot some of the key errors.
It was Bob Carter (one of the study's authors), along with the denialsphere, who took it much further than anything suggested in the study, which I think reveals much about Carter's integrity.
McLean has done the same …
Funny deniers: one peer reviewed paper is of utmost importance when at the same time 99 papers are of no consequence.
And this one paper is debunked just at birth as rubbish.
The utmost reverence deniers have for peer reviewed papers…
And now their only star is shot down!
Interesting article.
UGH! Does this mean we're now about to an explosion of "balancing both side of an arguement" in peer reviewed literature like we see in daily news coverage? Is JGR jsut trying to foment an controversy to get noticed?
"It is really sad that this blog has to spend so much time refuting the deniers" As JR has said previously, someone has to do it, if only for the search engines.
Climate Progress is doing a remarkable job improving the (historical?) record on how the denialsphere is operating. The snapshot presented above of "that atrocious paper" will show up alongside all the denier crowing in future internet searches. A lonely signpost pointing to the facts, amid a sea of Wattsonian grotesques.
UGH! Does this mean we're now about to an explosion of "balancing both side of an arguement" in peer reviewed literature like we see in daily news coverage? Is JGR jsut trying to foment an controversy to get noticed?
Actually, JGR has an editorial policy that allows authors to "nominate" reviewers for their articles. For multidisciplinary journals like JGR, there are some obvious advantages — editors may not know whom to send the paper to for review, especially if the paper is way outside the editors' area of expertise.
But as was pointed out over at http://julesandjames.blogspot.com/2009/07/editorial-standards-at-agu-journals.html, this policy can be "gamed" by those with ulterior motives. And that's exactly what happened here: The reviewers nominated by the authors of "Influence of the Southern Oscillation…" were none other than Willie Soon and Sonja Christiansen (editor of E&E!).
It's unlikely that JGR was looking for controversy here — more likely, some naive editors were taken advantage of by scientific "grifters".
"more likely, some naive editors were taken advantage of by scientific "grifters"."
All three authors went over the edge in the press release announcing publication of their "research".
I went over to Watts' site, and tried to post comments on the two posts there dealing with the MFC09 paper. I was especially motivated since Mr. Watts so helpfully highlighted in bold the most grievous mistakes (ggg). Here are a few clips from the press release that accompanied this erroneous paper, with the highlighted portions that Mr. Watts felt were especially important (but later proved to be wrong). Of course, my comments were completely censored out of each thread. Here is the WUWT excerpt from the press release, with Anthony Watts' bolding of important findings from the study:
The research, by Chris de Freitas, a climate scientist at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, John McLean (Melbourne) and Bob Carter (James Cook University), finds that the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a key indicator of global atmospheric temperatures seven months later. As an additional influence, intermittent volcanic activity injects cooling aerosols into the atmosphere and produces significant cooling.
"The surge in global temperatures since 1977 can be attributed to a 1976 climate shift in the Pacific Ocean that made warming El Niño conditions more likely than they were over the previous 30 years and cooling La Niña conditions less likely" says corresponding author de Freitas.
"We have shown that internal global climate-system variability accounts for at least 80% of the observed global climate variation over the past half-century. It may even be more if the period of influence of major volcanoes can be more clearly identified and the corresponding data excluded from the analysis."
Climate researchers have long been aware that ENSO events influence global temperature, for example causing a high temperature spike in 1998 and a subsequent fall as conditions moved to La Niña. It is also well known that volcanic activity has a cooling influence, and as is well documented by the effects of the 1991 Mount Pinatubo volcanic eruption.
The new paper draws these two strands of climate control together and shows, by demonstrating a strong relationship between the Southern Oscillation and lower-atmospheric temperature, that ENSO has been a major temperature influence since continuous measurement of lower-atmospheric temperature first began in 1958.
According to the three researchers, ENSO-related warming during El Niño conditions is caused by a stronger Hadley Cell circulation moving warm tropical air into the mid-latitudes. During La Niña conditions the Pacific Ocean is cooler and the Walker circulation, west to east in the upper atmosphere along the equator, dominates.
"When climate models failed to retrospectively produce the temperatures since 1950 the modellers added some estimated influences of carbon dioxide to make up the shortfall," says McLean.
"The IPCC acknowledges in its 4th Assessment Report that ENSO conditions cannot be predicted more than about 12 months ahead, so the output of climate models that could not predict ENSO conditions were being compared to temperatures during a period that was dominated by those influences. It's no wonder that model outputs have been so inaccurate, and it is clear that future modelling must incorporate the ENSO effect if it is to be meaningful."
Bob Carter, one of four scientists who has recently questioned the justification for the proposed Australian emissions trading scheme, says that this paper has significant consequences for public climate policy.
"The close relationship between ENSO and global temperature, as described in the paper, leaves little room for any warming driven by human carbon dioxide emissions. The available data indicate that future global temperatures will continue to change primarily in response to ENSO cycling, volcanic activity and solar changes."
"Our paper confirms what many scientists already know: which is that no scientific justification exists for emissions regulation, and that, irrespective of the severity of the cuts proposed, ETS (emission trading scheme) will exert no measurable effect on future climate."
Actually, JGR has an editorial policy that allows authors to "nominate" reviewers for their articles. For multidisciplinary journals like JGR, there are some obvious advantages — editors may not know whom to send the paper to for review, especially if the paper is way outside the editors' area of expertise.
But as was pointed out over at http://julesandjames.blogspot.com/ 2009/ 07/ editorial-standards-at-agu-journals.html, this policy can be "gamed" by those with ulterior motives. And that's exactly what happened here: The reviewers nominated by the authors of "Influence of the Southern Oscillation…" were none other than Willie Soon and Sonja Christiansen (editor of E&E!).
The paper is truly execrable, but I've got a question on this last sentence.
Where did the information that Soon and Christiansen were nominated come from? I know that they reviewed a 2002 Bulletin of Canadian Petroleum Geology paper by de Freitas, but I haven't seen anything about this paper and, unless one of the authors of the JGR paper has revealed this information, I'm not sure how it would get out.
In any event, when I was a journal editor, frequently authors would suggest reviewers even though we had no policy about. Most of the time, the suggestions included pretty obvious people. Sometimes, I would use one of them. Our policy was to have three reviewers, so, if the subject was outside of my comfort zone, I'd take one from the author's list and track down a couple on my own, often using the author's list as a starting point to find relevant papers and authors.
The real challenge comes when, as many papers do, you need a variety of subject matter covered in the reviews. When I first arrived at a new place of employment, I reviewed a paper internally that had excellent observational descriptions but some large theoretical holes in it, and the author was resistant to taking care of them. I found out he had gotten essentially the same internal reviews over the course of the previous couple of years from other staff members and kept shopping the paper around with cosmetic changes. He viewed it as a dispute between scientists and the the other staff members were blocking his publication. His manager didn't really understand what was going on and the author used the need to "revise the paper" to avoid doing new work. It was a bad situation and I got to propose that he send it out for formal review, under the assumption that it would get shot down. Either the editor didn't get an adequate theoretician to review it or the theoretician had a bad day reviewing it and it sailed into publication with almost no changes. The three of us who had done the critical internal reviews were acknowledged for our "helpful reviews" even though they had been ignored. Needless to say, we wrote a rather sharp comment that was essentially our internal reviews.
In some sense, this current process has worked well (assuming the Foster et al. comment gets published, which looks like a lock to me.) The crowd that whines that the "scientific establishment" won't let them publish their revelations of truth now has gotten a paper into a significant journal and it's going to get blasted out of the water in comments. Comments aren't used as often as they should be. I had a case where a reviewer thought I had made a bad decision on a paper and I strongly encouraged him to reformat the major comments from his review, perhaps add a figure from an example he talked about in the review and submit to the journal. I thought it would have been a wonderful contribution and would have given advice on how future work like the one I accepted could have been improved, but the reviewer didn't take me up on it.
Reading the excerpt from the press release simply makes my blood boil. After seeing the attacks on climate scientists who dared to speak out on the regulatory constraints needed to reduce carbon emissions, then these scientists being pilloried for being "too political", Bob Carter's last statement above is infuriating.
"Our paper confirms what many scientists already know: which is that no scientific justification exists for emissions regulation, and that, irrespective of the severity of the cuts proposed, ETS (emission trading scheme) will exert no measurable effect on future climate."
This doesn't leave any wiggle room. Bob Carter has helped get a fabricated result published, then extrapolates to an attack on any efforts to reduce GHGs. This is one of the most unethical series of actions I have ever seen.
"more likely, some naive editors were taken advantage of by scientific "grifters"."
OK, Steckis, what's your hypothesis? That the editorial staff is as unethical as the authors?
The comment available online has been changed for the sole purpose of clarifying that it has been submitted to JGR, but not yet accepted or published. The updated version is here.

"more likely, some naive editors were taken advantage of by scientific "grifters"."
A google-search on "Richard Steckis" "global warming" will unleash a geyser of stupidity.
The reviewers nominated by the authors of "Influence of the Southern Oscillation…" were none other than Willie Soon and Sonja Christiansen (editor of E&E!).
I don't think we know the identity of the reviewers in this case, although it wouldn't surprise me if they had reviwed it.
But I did comment in a couple of places that in a previous paper by de Freitas, published back by the Canadian Bulletin of Petroleum Geology in 2002, the reviewers had been Willie Soon and Sonja Boehmer-Christiansen. Perhaps, then, there is some confusion on that point.
My overview on MFC 2009 explains that "gaming the system" incident, and also gives an account of the organizations that have promoted this pseudo science, chiefly the so-called New Zealand Climate Science Coalition, and its big brother the International Climate Science Coalition.
Here's the summary:
* The McLean, de Freitas and Carter paper presented unsubstantiated conclusions that are contradicted by a cursory analysis of the very data presented.
* There is widespread agreement among climate scientists that this paper should not have passed review and should not have been accepted for publication.
* The authors actively participated in a deceptive public relations campaign that trumpeted and exaggerated the paper's claims, a campaign that even substituted a press release headline for the true title of the paper.
* The authors permitted an egregious breach of copyright in the dissemination of the paper in its published form at the New Zealand Climate Science Coalition website.
What more is needed to prod the AGU and the Journal of Geophysical Research to do the right thing? The paper should be withdrawn, and the editor responsible disciplined. Now.
Of course, now that MFC 2009 has been thoroughly debunked, some attention should also be paid as to who is behind the deceitful campaign to promote this pseudo-scientific nonsense.

The Bad and Good News for America
Urgent Warnings to America
Pastor T. D. Hale - 12/28/11
I had a dream last night: In my dream, I saw myself going across America, as if I was floating but with no fear. The land looked like it was bombed, totally destroyed. I saw people standing out around their homes, weeping, holding onto each other; there were a few who laid dead. I heard someone say, "This should never have happened; this should never have happened."
National destruction had hit America: no food, no water, babies crying, grownups, men all crying, holding onto their families, begging God for mercy. As I moved along the way, I saw people running, looking for loved ones missing, totally out of their minds.
I quickly came over a large city; it looked like it was Columbus, Ohio. As I came close, there it was -- the riots we have all heard about. Store windows busted, grabbing what they could get but I could tell they were not too concerned about TVs iPads, etc.; they were grabbing food, water, chips, things to survive on. There were riots and fighting. I even saw one man shot to death.
As I left that place, going at the speed of light I was standing on the back side of the White House. I looked up and there was President Barack Obama on the balcony, holding a shotgun. I heard a loud scream, real loud. I turned my head to see where the scream came from. Flying high in the air was an eagle -- majestic, flying around Washington. I saw Barack point that shotgun toward that eagle and then shoot it dead and it fell to the ground. I looked up at him and he just had a smile on his face, a smirk. These were the words I heard: "I've done it and I won't have to deal with this in my administration." It was dead silent. At that moment, I heard a voice that said, "Tell the people this is My will; this is My hand, both upon the generation of the righteous and upon the cursed. The righteous will find their way and know what to do; the cursed will wonder around with no compass. The cup is full!"
From that point on, I knew that we were coming to a showdown; it was going to be between us and them -- good versus evil. I saw people gathering into some homes that were not destroyed. I saw people having prayer meetings, just praying in the Spirit.
And then I heard in the dream: "To My servants and handmaids, a special anointing will reside on you in these last days. Hold not back thy voice but speak your hearts, for out of them are the issues of life. Pick up the mantle of prayer, cover yourself with it and find you a secret place to cover My servants, who stand for truth in prayer. I see their hearts and the desires to understand and know more. Their eyes have been anointed with a special anointing to see. Others are blinded to My Word. All things will be revealed in their due course. A supernatural wave of my Spirit will come over this generation soon; the FINAL voices are in the land to speak one last time. Think it not strange the happenings around you; they must and will come to pass but I have placed in your hands the food to sustain you in the months ahead. I have spoken and shown all that matter. Tell my servants, saith the Lord, there is coming harsh days ahead!"
As I stood there hearing the voice of God, I saw a table, very old as if it was a table that had many documents signed in times past of importance. I saw a voting ballot lying there.
As I looked, I saw two names on that ballot: Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. It was check-marked beside Obama's name.
I looked at the bottom of the ballot and these words were written: "For this is the will of the Lord." Then I woke up.

Thrilled with these past three days in Nice: we appreciated the quality of this apartment, bright, quiet, immaculate sharpness, and offers free Wi-Fi and air conditioning; the sea and the bus stop nearby, and many shops at the foot of the building, and parking in a congested city where parking is complicated, it is appreciated!
Enchantés de ces 3 jours passés à Nice : nous avons apprécié la qualité de cet appartement, clair, calme, d'une netteté impeccable, et doté de la Wi-Fi et air conditionné ; la mer et l'arrêt de bus à deux pas, et de nombreux commerces au pied de l'immeuble, ainsi qu'un parking dans une ville engorgée où le stationnement est compliqué, c'est appréciable !
The location was perfect, the apartment was clean, modern and excellently located. There are many restaurants in the area and the beach is just 2 minutes away from the apartment.
Unfortunately the apartment wasn't prepared (even though he asked me how many people I would travel with) - the bedding had to be done by us, which was quite annoying because that way we couldn't lay down, we were too exhausted from our trip to Nice. There is NO Air Condition, even though it was listed in the facilities-list. It tends to get really hot during the day, but at night it's quite okay if you leave the windows open and the fans running all the night.
Nice place for a family witht 4 people
Everything worked out perfectly. Salvatore was immediately after we arrived to show us as the really great apartment and hand over the keys. It was rundrum a perfect holiday.
Es hat alles perfekt geklappt. Salvatore war sofort da nach dem wir eingetroffen sind um uns die wirklich tolle Wohnung zu zeigen und den Schlüssel zu überreichen. Es war rundrum ein perfekter Urlaub.
Salvatore was very helpful to us during our stay and the apartment was very well planned. It's really close to gare SNCF, the shopping street jean-medecin and just a 10 min walk to the beach.
The place is well equipped and really central. The light in the living room didn't work and they never came to fix it. Overall the place is really good in price-quality. If I come again to Nice I would definetly rent it again. Not good for more than 2 people.
A great place to stay - a little away from the main action in Nice but everything is close by when using the buses. Catch a bus to the in train station and before you know it you can be in Cannes, Monaco and beyond.
Balcony views across the harbour are fantastic and well worth the price - several evenings were spent with a few drinks and some cheese watching the world pass by and the waves lap at the shore.
Some excellent nearby eateries (and supermarkets) as well.
Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway.
Nice little apartment for 2 people, and good location

Conventional charge pump circuits use a fixed switching frequency that leads to power efficiency degradation for loading less than the rated loading. This paper proposes a level shifter design that also functions as a frequency converter to automatically vary the switching frequency of a dual charge pump circuit according to the loading. The switching frequency is designed to be 25 kHz with 12 mA loading on both inverting and noninverting outputs. The switching frequency is automatically reduced when loading is lighter to improve the power efficiency. The frequency tuning range of this circuit is designed to be from 100 Hz to 25 kHz. A start-up circuit is included to ensure proper pumping action and avoid latch-up during power-up. A slow turn-on, fast turn-off driving scheme is used in the clock buffer to reduce power dissipation. The new dual charge pump circuit was fabricated in a 3-μm p-well double-poly single-metal CMOS technology with breakdown voltage of 18 V, the die size is 4.7×4.5 mm2. For comparison, a charge pump circuit with conventional level shifter and clock buffer was also fabricated. The measured results show that the new charge pump has two advantages: (1) the power dissipation of the charge pump is improved by a factor of 32 at no load and by 2% at rated loading of 500 Ω and (2) the breakdown voltage requirement is reduced from 19.2 to 17 V

KBB Expert Rating: 5.6
The xD is a compact hatchback from Toyota's youth-oriented Scion brand. While younger drivers will be attracted to the xD's funky exterior styling and sub-$17,000 starting price, this small car can appeal to a wide range of buyers thanks to its flexible interior space and good fuel economy. The 5-passenger 2014 Scion xD can also offer peace of mind with its history of reliability, two years of complimentary maintenance and high resale value. That said, the xD's light has dimmed in recent years amid fresher competitors. The Kia Rio 5-door, for instance, continues to innovate, while the xD lags with an aging powertrain and 4-speed automatic transmission. Likewise, the Nissan Versa Note appeals with a lower price and higher fuel economy, and the Fiat 500L offers Euro charm.
If you want a small hatchback with youthful exuberance, a solid track record and no-haggle pricing, the Scion xD is worth consideration. Owners can further differentiate their rides thanks to the Scion's commendable list of accessories and add-ons.
The 2014 xD's 33-mpg highway rating is good but hardly the best in this segment. The Nissan Versa Note, for example, earns up to 40 mpg. If you require all-wheel drive for better grip in slippery conditions, turn your attention to a Subaru Impreza or Mitsubishi Outlander Sport.
Like all other 2014 Scion models, the xD gains an updated audio system with 6.1-inch touch screen and HD Radio receiver. Also arriving for this model year are two fresh 2-tone exterior paint color options.
The latest Scion xD retains the same powerplant it's been using since the car's introduction for 2008. Producing 128 horsepower, the 1.8-liter 4-cylinder is adequate to move the front-wheel-drive hatchback...
... around town without complaint. Like other economy cars, the motor strains when tackling steep hills or overtaking slower traffic. Those who want to wring the most out of the xD – and save a few dollars – should select the 5-speed manual transmission. Most buyers, however, will choose the optional automatic transmission. This setup can still do the job with its four gears but is looking aged as the xD's competitors usher in smoother and more efficient 6-speed automatics or continuously variable transmissions (CVTs). The Scion xD is capable of handling curves and dips with ease, though rough road surfaces can become uncomfortable in this compact hatchback. Unfortunately the steering wheel does not telescope, making it harder to find the perfect driving position.
This new unit injects the 2014 xD with fresh audio and visual appeal. The system features a 6.1-inch touch-screen display that bundles the standard AM/FM/CD receiver with an HD Radio to receive free, digital broadcasts as well as Bluetooth streaming audio, phone connectivity and USB port.
Despite its small exterior dimensions, the xD features a profusion of storage cubbies, boxes, trays and hidden compartments for your mobile life.
You won't confuse the 2014 Scion xD's interior with one from Toyota's luxury brand, Lexus. Then again, if you wanted luxury, you wouldn't be looking at a Scion. Where the xD excels is packing a tidy amount of space into a flexible cabin. The hatchback's tall ceiling nullifies headroom concerns, and its 3-passenger rear seat serves up considerable legroom. In addition to folding to create more cargo space, the rear seat reclines for passenger comfort. The new touch-screen display notwithstanding, the xD's dash remains a bit drab. The large controls are easy to use, and plenty of nooks are ready to swallow phones and other accessories.
The 2014 Scion xD may be small and not nearly as fresh as it once was, but it still packs some visual attitude. As the little brother to the Scion xB, the xD is appropriately boxy with a squat stance. Its hood is short and its beltline – where the metal sides meet the windows – is rather high. A rear hatch door opens upward for easy loading of cargo. In addition to several features like a rear spoiler and carbon-fiber applique on the B-pillar, buyers have a choice of two 2-tone paint schemes on the 2014 xD that contrast the roof and body colors
Every 2014 Scion xD comes respectably equipped with power windows/door locks, air conditioning, cruise control, remote keyless entry and the new 6.1-inch touchscreen Display Audio Unit with AM/FM/CD/HD Radio and aux/USB inputs. The xD also comes with two years or 25,000 miles of complimentary maintenance such as oil changes, and two years of 24-hour roadside assistance.
Scion has long been known for offering buyers an array of features and accessories to personalize their car, and that continues with the 2014 xD. Among the offerings are a 4-speed automatic transmission that most buyers will opt for, 16- or 18-inch alloy wheels, and Scion's BeSpoke Audio unit with navigation. The xD can also be equipped with Toyota Racing Development (TRD) hardware such as a sport muffler, rear sway bar, performance shocks and lowering springs.
Powering the 2014 Scion xD is a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine that delivers 128 horsepower and 125 lb-ft of torque. The Scion's singular engine choice can be matched to a 5-speed manual or an antiquated 4-speed automatic transmission.
1.8-liter inline-4
128 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm
125 lb-ft of torque @ 4,400 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 27/33 mpg

"I fell in love with the look of my Nautical Blue 2008 Scion xD the moment I saw it and it has turned out to have been the best car! I had to put in an alternator when it was 6 or 7 years old. I just put in at 150,000 miles, 4spark plugs and one coil. Other than these things, it just been regular maintenance and was dependable, problem free driving. I just bought the 2016 Scion iM and it is gorgeous, Pearl white, and it feels like a bigger car in comparison, and all the included technology you would think I would like. Back up camera, voice recognition etc. but I like the Scion xD better because it is simpler. Turn the knob to go back to a song I just scanned by. I have to study how to do that with the new one. Turn the A/C on or off up or down, this new one I still have to figure out. I have it on automatic so it's probably going to be fine and I just need to get through the learning curve. But I don't want to have to have a learning curve though. The xD seems to have less blind spots than the IM. The xD seems easier to maneuver for me. It might be my age, but I prefer my xD to the gorgeous new one. More maneuverable, less blind spots, less technology to figure out."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 8
"This car is great, especially if you're short. I'm just about 5' and I don't have any blind spots in this vehicle. However, taller people may not enjoy it. There is a TON of cargo room, regardless of the kbb info page. My vehicle carries larger and more volume than any of my friends vehicles except the trucks. the seats go down super easily, the seat belts don't get in the way, and it's very easy to adjust back into place. My only complaints about this vehicle are small annoyances you don't notice until day to day life.. Such as the windshield wipers don't have an adjustable setting. The settings are all at odd speeds, too fast or too slow, and you can't change it at all. Also, the back wiper is way too fast. I cannot imagine ever needing it to go that much. So, I end up manually clicking them both or dealing with annoying wipers. Also, you cannot lock the doors with a back-up key faub. If the keys are in, you have to lock from the doors. So no warming it up with one key and getting in later with another. Also, the car auto locks after a few seconds if you turn it off. So, if you're loading things into your car, you need to either leave the hatch open the entire time or carry the key. Kind of defeats the entire purpose of the last function (not allowing you to lock keys in vehicle). Overall, great car. Just wish it was a bit more convenient for day to day."

"I've owned this car 4 years. Regular maintenance, oil changes, air filter, battery only because the car is bagged (air ride) and the dual compressors would've overworked the alternator, are the only things I've done to this car. It's my daily, even during the winter. I wish it had more power, but when I'm getting 38-44 mpg on the highway I can't complain! IDK where they came up with 32 mpg highway! Even stock I was getting 35-37 mpg highway."

HOME RUN: Homeland sweeps the Emmys
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- September 24, 2012
- Homeland breaks Mad Men's winning streak
- Jon Hamm goes home empty-handed again
- Modern Family and Game Change big winners
- Gallery: Stars come out to play for the Emmys
WHAT it lacked in comedy, the Emmys made up for in drama, with the awards show serving up plenty of upsets and surprises.
Homeland was the big winner of night, taking home four awards, including best drama, best actor and best actress.
The show broke Mad Men's winning streak in the best drama category and must have left Jon Hamm wondering if he'll ever get an award.
Scroll down for the list of winners
Also triumphing was the political mini-series Game Change and audience favourite Modern Family, both of which took home four awards each.
Homeland, which centres on the US's war on terror, has a fan in President Barack Obama and is being pushed as the show that can revive Channel Ten's fortunes.
Claire Danes's Best Actress Emmy was seen as a forgone conclusion; she has won universal praise for performing that rare trick of "turning a villain into someone human, and someone we feel so deeply about".
However, Lewis' win was a surprise, not least to the actor himself. Many had predicted that the contest would come down to Mad Men's Jon Hamm and Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston.
"I'm one of those pesky Brits - apologies," he quipped as he accepted the award. He praised his fellow nominees, including Hamm, who has now been nominated for best actor five times without winning.
Homeland's co-creators, Alex Gansa and Howard Gordon, also went home with an award, the Emmy for outstanding writing.
Modern Family surprised no one by taking home its third best comedy Emmy in a row. However, the show's co-creator, Steve Levitan, was humble in his acceptance speech though, saying the cast and crew "are so lucky to have jobs in these challenging times . . . and to have jobs that we love".
Levitan also won an award for best comedy director and the show's stars Eric Stonestreet and Julie Bowen won awards in the best supporting actor and actress respectively.
The other big winner of night was Game Change, which took home awards for best mini-series, best director of a mini-series, best writing for a mini-series and best actress in a mini-series.
The series skewered John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign and his selection of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate.
Julianne Moore, who played Palin, got a laugh from the audience when she joked: "I feel so validated because Sarah Palin gave me a big thumbs down."
However, many critics felt host Jimmy Kimmel had lost his edge. His tribute to himself, a spoof of all those award show In Memoriam montages, barely raised a chuckle as did his Twitter stunt involving 30 Rock Star Tracey Morgan..

What a joke. Compared to Broadwalk Empire, Game of Thrones, Mad Men and Breaking Bad, Homeland is a steaming pile of you-know-what. Completely ridiculous.

walkin' on sunshine...
By: PhilE
I have gone through at least 4 pairs of Wolverines. They make the most comfortable boots I know of and I have not brought myself to buy any other brand yet. These low cuts give me all the protection I need and feel like Moccasins on my feet. No barking dogs at the end of the day, no breaking in period.... Wolverine remains my brand of choice. The only product that makes me sound like a cheesy infomercial, sorry!

If there is anything positive about the current squad it appears to be the 'never give up' lately. Quite a few times in the past we would have settled for the stalemate; but these lot they keep at it. Now there is not much left to do than to get behind our team and hope for the best.

I'm using the contact form 7 plugin to get users to fill out a large form and am trying to get initiation on the homepage by writing out a shorter form that will pre-populate most of the next page which contains the larger form.
I've got it all working posting the information and the contact form grabs the information on the next page but at the same time when a user submits the short form on the home page and loads the new page/form all the unpopulated fields are throwing error messages. It'd be great if I could get it so that didn't happen but at the very least if this is happening disabling error messages when the page loads via this view.
Any thoughts?

Nucleus Research names Ceridian a leader in Human Capital Management
by Jim O'Connell
In part one of a two-part series on the human resources-related policies of the Republican and Democratic parties, focuses on health policy and the future of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
Party platforms are as much about political philosophy as they are about practical proposals. The Republican platform is no exception, leaning in favor of private sector as opposed to government approaches. The Republican Party platform on healthcare policy generally parallels that of the party's nominee for president, advocating for the "repeal" of the ACA, including the individual mandate, and supports the sale of insurance across state lines, full deductibility of insurance premium payments, stronger health savings accounts and the importation of pharmaceuticals from overseas.

Ha, awesome! Love the pose!
I really feel like asking if you could make a tutorial for this. I feel like you build your lighting first and then break up the piece with metal panels and details everywhere. I'd like to get better at this process.
It would be indeed. It's always hard to light the interior environments up. Specially with such level of detail.
Beautiful composition and design, you can be surely proud of this
O.O wow how how do more they are awesome
Okay.. that's it. I've added you to my watch list. Great job!!
wow O.O
Thats a great design
That's a very challenging pose she's got there.
How the f*** do you paint like that? Its amazing 0_0
looks very cool but i'm just a bit confused by the pose. it looks like he's about to pop off rounds for the fun of it.
wow- this is AWESOME!
looks great! could be an ingame view pf a third-person-game
All alone in a long sector of the ship,space station,etc. Armed,yes;expecting something scary to show up or a horde of creatures,maybe. All in all,wonderful work on the style.
Awesome style, vision, imagination. The background is completely nuts. All the lights and shadows match perfectly, also the man standing in front is so well done and fits in the scenery.[ nice huge butt there]
How on earth do you start a painting like this? Do you use Sketchup to figure out the perspective and cast shadows?
And man those architectural details are tight.
