Note: The Globe-News contacted the middle school basketball coaches to solicit their impressions of the season just past. Over the next weeks, as space permits, the Globe-News will print recaps of the seasons of those teams whose coaches responded.
A team's win-loss record is a good indication of how it fared in a season. But a team can be deemed successful even when the number of defeats and victories don't even out. Hard work, courage and grace when the score is not in your favor are qualities the coaches instill in their players.
They practiced day in and day out, worked up a sweat and played the game for the joy of it. Regardless of their teams' records, these players are all winners.
Seventh-grade boys
The Sam Houston Middle School seventh-grade boys basketball team finished its season undefeated and is now the defending seventh-grade city champ.
Coach Sean Hargrove said they "were a fun group to coach. These kids had great God-given talent. Plus, they play a lot of basketball throughout the summer. They were very skilled coming into their seventh-grade year."
Hargrove praised the program Coach Mike Smith runs at Sam Houston.
"The very disciplined program made it easy to coach the kids," Hargrove said. "The athletes coming into this year knew hard work and success was headed their way."
The offensive scheme the team used spread the scoring around to many players, Hargrove said.
"We averaged 50 points a game, and in nine of those games we had seven or more players score," he said. "Plus, in four games every player scored."
Anthony Scott and J C Johnson carried most of the scoring load, Hargrove said, while point guards D. J. Blackshere, Shamon Wilson and Donald Evans controlled the offenses.
"The whole team worked hard on the defensive side of the ball," Hargrove said. "Hunter Young, Jordan Terry, Eric Lewis, Anthony Rios and Zach Cardwell carried the role of defending our opponents' best players."
One of the team's big men, Max Greer, suffered a season-ending knee injury late in the year, he said.
"We stressed defense the whole year," Hargrove said. "We ran three different presses and four different looks and traps in the half-court set.
"This was possible because of the playing experience of the seventh-graders coming into this season," he said. "I also had some help from veteran coaches Joe Velasquez and Stacy Alexander, who helped mold the players into this successful team."
Seventh-grade girls
The Houston seventh-grade girls basketball team finished the 2001-2002 regular season on a winning note, ending up with a 4-3 district record.
"I felt that our season went pretty well," said Coach Cari Dachille. "It started out rocky, but after the girls got used to playing together, the season went on to end on a great note."
The Lady Rangers' top scorer was Erika Peck, Dachille said.
"And my most improved player was Caitlin Curl," she said.
In addition to Peck and Curl, the members of the Houston seventh-grade Lady Rangers included Annie Edwards, Katie Ford, Jordan Gould, Kyra Hayes, Cammie Hodges, Erin Hughes, Amber Norman, Alyce Tidwell and Danyell Zamora, each of whom played a role instrumental to the team's overall record of 5-4, Dachille said.
"The girls always gave me everything they had," Dachille said. "I am really proud of the girls and everything they accomplished this year.
"I look forward to watching them grow and go on to blossom as athletes," she said.
Eighth-grade boys
Sam Houston's eighth-grade boys basketball team finished its 2001-2002 season with a 2-5 district record.
"After starting the season without a starting point guard with experience and about five players without A-team playing time, I'm really proud of the way this team responded," said Coach Joe Velasquez. "They worked hard all season."
Velasquez said the highlight of the season was in the city tournament.
"Being down 31-9 at halftime against Crockett, we didn't give up and came back to win 51-46 to advance to the semifinals," Velasquez said.
"In this season of highs and lows, the individuals that were the heart of this team were Jonathan Rocha, Ty James, Adam Castleberry, Matt Wingate and Wesley Dudley."
Eighth-grade girls
The Houston Middle School eighth-grade girls basketball team finished the season in third place, with a district record of 5-2.
"They deserve to be recognized as one of the best teams in town," said Coach Angela Gleason.
One of the team's district losses was a two-point heartbreaker to eventual city champion Bonham.
Gleason said Jazmine Brown not only led the team in scoring but also was the top rebounder.
Porsche Campbell was the player who improved her game the most from the beginning of the season to the end, Gleason said.
Managers Danita Kemp, Ashley Montes and Kelsey Wilson kept the books in order and did whatever was asked of them to help the team, Gleason said.
"All these girls represented Houston Middle School in a very positive way and were very well respected," she said. "They displayed a never-quit desire and attitude. They are to be congratulated on a very successful season."
Besides Brown and Campbell, the Houston Lady Rangers eighth-grade team included Chasidy Cook, Heaven Craine, Courtney Dowd, Erica Finney, Monica Gaona, Dawn Gardner, Roxann Granados, Porsche Green, Ronica Jimenez, Olivia Martinez, Elise Sutton and Krystal Zamora, each of whom contributed significantly to the team's overall success, Gleason said.

I have recently noticed a rather large amount of small worms in the fresh cod I am buying. I have tried to take them out as much as I can and of course have spoken to my fish supplier about them, but he assures me they are harmless. However, I don't believe my customers would be as assured. Is it okay to serve this fish, taking into account I might miss a worm or two?
Live parasitic worms are to be expected in raw fresh fish, and need to be dealt with in one of three ways:
There may be other ways to neutralise parasites, such as Eskimo-style fermented fish - but these are unlikely to be of use to you.
There is a difference between safety and palatability, though, and your customers might reasonably expect to be served fish without visible parasites.
Parasites in fish are common. In short, your fishmonger could have done a better job of pulling them out (unless you bought them whole). They are not deemed harmful if cooked properly (see the FAO link below).
There are guidelines and standards about the number of Nematodes in a given amount of fish. Some types of fish are more susceptible than others, so you may wish to change your order from COD and Monkfish to something else.
Here is a document from FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of United Nations). It explains how the worms get there, the safety precautions and how to avoid serving them.
An excerpt on safety (for permanence):
This depend entirely on how you are preparing the fish.
If you are cooking the fish to FDA's 100% safe temperature of 140F(for fish) then there should be no issue.
If you are serving the fish a bit rarer than that (120-130F), it is unlikely the worms can survive the temperature but it is still possible.
If you are serving the fish raw, then there will be issues. The parasitic worms will stay alive in your stomach for quite a while. Eventually your stomach will kill it but that can take weeks, sometimes even months. In the mean time, the host of this parasite will experience symptoms such as violent abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.
I pulled a curled up, dead worm out of my cod just this past weekend and still finished my meal. I read about them and they do not seem to pose a hazard to humans. They are FISH parasites and highly unlikely to survive in the human stomach for very long. And (not to be TOO gruesome) they've likely been chomped to death already in one's mouth prior to entering your acid-filled stomach. Anyway, 5 of us ate the cod and nobody had any sort of adverse reaction (and the fish was delicious).

Britain's Bill of Particulars: 'Planned and Carried Out the Atrocities'
Published: October 5, 2001
(Page 5 of 5)
55. In December 1999, a terrorist cell linked to Al Qaeda was discovered trying to carry out attacks inside the United States. An Algerian, Ahmed Ressam, was stopped at the U.S.-Canadian border, and over 100 pounds of bomb-making material was found in his car. Ressam admitted he was planning to set off a large bomb at Los Angeles International Airport on New Year's Day. He said that he had received terrorist training at Al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan and then been instructed to go abroad and kill U.S. civilians and military personnel.
56. On 3 January 2000, a group of Al Qaeda members and other terrorists who had trained in Al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan, attempted to attack a U.S. destroyer with a small boat loaded with explosives. Their boat sank, aborting the attack.
57. On 12 October 2000, however, the U.S.S. Cole was struck by an explosive-laden boat while refueling in Aden harbor. Seventeen crew were killed, and 40 injured.
58. Several of the perpetrators of the Cole attack (mostly Yemenis and Saudis) were trained at Osama bin Laden's camps in Afghanistan. Al-Owali has identified the two commanders of the attack on the U.S.S. Cole as having participated in the planning and preparation for the East African embassy bombings.
59. In the months before the September 11 attacks, propaganda videos were distributed throughout the Middle East and Muslim world by Al Qaeda in which Osama bin Laden and others were shown encouraging Muslims to attack American and Jewish targets.
60. Similar videos, extolling violence against the United States and other targets, were distributed before the East African embassy attacks in August 1998.
Osama bin Laden and
The 11 September Attacks
61. Nineteen men have been identified as the hijackers from the passenger lists of the four planes hijacked on 11 September 2001. At least three of them have already been positively identified as associates of Al Qaeda. One has been identified as playing key roles in both the East African embassy attacks and the U.S.S. Cole attack. Investigations continue into the backgrounds of all the hijackers.
62. From intelligence sources, the following facts have been established subsequent to 11 September; for intelligence reasons, the names of associates, though known, are not given.
¶In the run-up to 11 September, bin Laden was mounting a concerted propaganda campaign amongst like-minded groups of people — including videos and documentation — justifying attacks on Jewish and American targets; and claiming that those who died in the course of them were carrying out God's work.
¶We have learned, subsequent to 11 September, that bin Laden himself asserted shortly before 11 September that he was preparing a major attack on America.
¶In August and early September, close associates of bin Laden were warned to return to Afghanistan from other parts of the world by 10 September.
¶Immediately prior to 11 September, some known associates of bin Laden were naming the date for action as on or around 11 September.
¶Since 11 September, we have learned that one of bin Laden's closest and most senior associates was responsible for the detailed planning of the attacks.
¶There is evidence of a very specific nature relating to the guilt of bin Laden and his associates that is too sensitive to release.
63. Osama bin Laden remains in charge, and the mastermind, of Al Qaeda. In Al Qaeda, an operation on the scale of the 11 September attacks would have been approved by Osama bin Laden himself.
64. The modus operandi of 11 September was entirely consistent with previous attacks. Al Qaeda's record of atrocities is characterized by meticulous long-term planning, a desire to inflict mass casualties, suicide bombers and multiple simultaneous attacks.
65. The attacks of 11 September 2001 are entirely consistent with the scale and sophistication of the planning which went into the attacks on the East African embassies and the U.S.S. Cole. No warnings were given for these three attacks, just as there was none on 11 September.
66. Al Qaeda operatives, in evidence given in the East African embassy bomb trials, have described how the group spends years preparing for an attack. They conduct repeated surveillance, patiently gather materials and identify and vet operatives, who have the skills to participate in the attack and the willingness to die for their cause.
67. The operatives involved in the 11 September atrocities attended flight schools, used flight simulators to study the controls of larger aircraft and placed potential airports and routes under surveillance.
68. Al Qaeda's attacks are characterized by total disregard for innocent lives, including Muslims. In an interview after the East African bombings, Osama bin Laden insisted that the need to attack the United States excused the killing of other innocent civilians, Muslim and non-Muslim alike.
69. No other organization has both the motivation and the capability to carry out attacks like those of the 11 September — only the Al Qaeda network under Osama bin Laden.
70. The attacks of the 11 September 2001 were planned and carried out by Al Qaeda, an organization whose head is Osama bin Laden. That organization has the will, and the resources, to execute further attacks of similar scale. Both the United States and its close allies are targets for such attacks. The attack could not have occurred without the alliance between the Taliban and Osama bin Laden, which allowed bin Laden to operate freely in Afghanistan, promoting, planning and executing terrorist activity.

Pigs serve a number useful functions, perhaps most importantly providing The Rumor Doctor's favorite pizza toppings, but one reader believes pigs could also save troops' lives by sniffing out roadside bombs.
Why pigs?
Affectionately known as the "Hawg," the A-10 Thunderbolt II is essentially a flying gun designed to provide close air support to troops on the ground. The aircraft features a seven-barrel 30 mm Gatling gun that fires about 65 rounds per second. In layman's terms, that's a big can of whoop-ass.
Ground-pounders love the whirring sound the A-10's cannon makes when fired -- lovingly called a "Hawg fart" by pilots -- because it announces certain death to whoever is on the receiving end. An old rumor that a reader recently asked about is the A-10's gun is so powerful that when fired the recoil slows the plane down almost to a complete stop.
More than a few of you have asked The Rumor Doctor to look into the longstanding rumor that the Army once issued "stress cards" for recruits who could not endure the rigors of basic training. Allegedly, these cards provide a reprieve to recruits too tired to exercise or stressed out from being yelled at by a drill sergeant.
If you're the type of person who enjoys filling your lungs with crisp, clean air, then Afghanistan would fit your definition of hell on Earth. Rumor is the air quality at Kandahar Air Field is so bad that troops stationed there automatically get a 10 percent disability rating.
Having caught a nasty case of bronchitis in Iraq two years ago, The Rumor Doctor has tremendous sympathy for troops who have to breathe the dust and other nasty stuff in the air downrange, so he decided to investigate.
Darby heads back over water; tropical storm, flood warnings remain up for Hawaii.
The 21st and final stage of the Tour de France begins early morning on Sunday, July 24, in the city of Chantilly.

|9 Pilatus PC-7
The PC-7 Team is an aerobatics team of the Swiss Air Force. It derives its name from the airplane used, nine Pilatus PC-7 trainers.
The team was established in 1987, but did not return next season. In 1989 it was re-established for the 75th birthday of the Swiss Air Force. Most displays are in Switzerland, but since 1992 the team has occasionally performed abroad.
Since its establishment the team has flown the Pilatus PC-7 Turbo Trainer. In October 2006, it was replaced by the NCPC-7, which is a PC-7 equipped with a new cockpit. The PC-7 Team currently flys nine Pilatus PC-7 in the standard configuration of the Swiss Air Force's PC-7. The PC-7 Team still uses the unique Swiss Air Force Bambini-Code for its radio communication.
The PC-7 Team's homebase is Dübendorf Air Base, but they often operate from Militärflugplatz Emmen or Locarno Airport. All Pilots of the PC-7 Team are full-time military pilots and usually fly the F/A-18. The show program is made from 23 different elements. In 2014 the nine aircraft were fitted with smoke generators, it was publicly used for the first time on 1 August 2014 at Buochs Airport at the roll-out of the Pilatus PC-24.The smoke system was built and financed by the company Pilatus Aircraft. Currently are 7 smoking systems available who can be mounted in the luggage compartment of the PC-7. The diesel-oil mixture is injected into the right exhaust of the PC-7.[1] For large airshows like RIAT or the Air14 the PC-7 Team flies in the opening of the flight demonstration also often with the Patrouille Suisse, the Hornet Solo Display Team or the Super Puma Display Team in a joint flyover formation. A unique Flight Demonstration offered the PC-7 Team on September 7, 2014 at the Air14 Air Show in Payerne as they together with the Patrouille Suisse were demonstrating a display with a total of 15 aircraft.

What ending did you guys get? Are there even different ones? I'm pretty certain there are, since you made some significant choices throughout the course of the game... I got the one where Menendez blows up the drones himself, and then gets captured. I decided not to kill him and he went to prison only to break out again (seriously, how bad is the security of the prisoners in this?). He then went and killed the old dude whose name I can't remember. And then he went and played guitar on a rock concert? What was that all about?
Also, did you duders also have achievement problems? I completed the game on Hardend, but didn't unlock the achievement, and I also didn't get the one for scoring at least 10k in every mission. Annoying.

ATLANTA (AP) - Activist Markel Hutchins on Friday is planning to
observe the two-year anniversary of the death of a 92-year-old
woman gunned down in her northwest Atlanta home by undercover
Atlanta narcotics officers.
On Nov. 21, 2006, plainclothes officers burst in through
Johnston's front door using a special "no-knock" warrant to
search for drugs.
Johnston fired a single shot from a rusty revolver at the intruders, but hit no one. The officers fired 39 bullets, hitting the woman five or six times.
The botched raid prompted an investigation of the Atlanta Police
Department and closer scrutiny on no-knock warrants. The department
tightened its warrant requirements and shook up its narcotics unit.
The shooting, which took place in a crime-ridden Atlanta
neighborhood, enraged many residents and local officials.

2012-04-19 - On May, 18th, the new SONATA ARCTICA album "Stones Grow Her Name" will be released. The media response is already overwhelming, expect a unique, rocking and progressive jewel.
On Friday, April 20th – German TV station iM1 (formerly iMusic1) premiers the new SONATA ARCTICA video for the single "I Have A Right" – first at 17.00 CET on their homepage http://www.imusic1rocks.com and one hour later at 18.00 CET at their legendary "Rocks" show on TV.
The band just finalized the second part of the album making-of; you find both chapters here:
Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m640SGyYQsQ
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHvIHaDMd6k
Read following, what bandleader Tony Kakko says about "I Have A Right":
"I Have A Right" was the very last song I wrote for this album. At that point Tommy had already played his last track for "Stones Grow Her Name", gotten ready to go to sauna AND opened his first beer for that night, when I sms'd him to check his e-mail and record yet one more "easy track". He was mildly pissed. And perhaps fueled by that he nailed the song on the first take. It was a very emotional moment for him, I was told. The song hits home, if you know the subject and can relate to the subject. To put it short it's a song about how we should not pass the burden we get from the past generation on the shoulders of our future offspring. Children's rights subject. Not the most metal subject ever, I suppose, but then again I think it fits our band well and is pretty universal. Funny to actually have fans from each age group this songs speaks about. Let's see what comes of it. Choosing the first single and video from this album was not very easy this time around as we had so many candidates. The best possible problem to have! "I Have A Right" won the vote. The playing parts for this video were shot in our home town Kemi, here in Finland. The location was an old, abandoned school building. Somehow spooky and COLD. It was mid march. Could say we were lucky the weather was unseasonably warm, yet way below zero. Director Tuukka Temonen and his crew did a great job with editing and all the additional footage. All in all, from my point of view, this was the easiest ever Sonata Arctica video to make. No 12 hours standing in a room filled with bird shit, no freezing my ass off on the ice in the middle of the sea from 8am to 10pm, or running in the woods in the middle of the
night and not sleeping for 48 hours...had all that with the past videos. I am more than pleased. I hope you like the song and video as much as we do.
"Stones Grow Her Name" will be released on May, 18th 2012 via Nuclear Blast.

Dubai Home Costs to Fall More
Consultants Say Decline Could Drag on for Five Years; Supply Keeps Increasing
DUBAI—The Arab Spring of 2011 brought an influx of visitors to Dubai and boosted demand for real estate in the emirate, but industry experts warn that the global economic slowdown and an oversupply of property will drive residential prices lower for years to come.
"Although the Dubai real-estate market saw some signs of stability in 2011, and in some premium locations prices rose slightly, on the whole prices are seen further softening over the next five years or more as the global economic decline continues and more units come online," says Ronald Hinchey, head of professional services at property consultants Cluttons Dubai.
"After the Asian financial crisis of 1997, it took Singapore real-estate prices 11 years to get back to precrisis levels and Hong Kong even longer, and that was due to a regional slowdown," he says.
"Now we have a unique global crisis rather than a specific emerging-market crisis and so it could take even longer for Dubai real-estate prices to recover."
After contracting 14.9% in 2009, Dubai's economy began to recover in 2010 with growth of 2.3%. Data for the first half of 2011 have been encouraging; the emirate is expected to record real growth of between 3% and 4% for the year as a whole, with oil prices remaining above $100 a barrel.
But analysts say that despite positive signs in trade, tourism and the retail sectors, real-estate prices continue to fall. According to Colliers International, Dubai residential property prices fell 6% year on year in the third quarter of 2011.
This trend is expected to continue. Investors remain wary and there is still an oversupply of property.
In 2010, Dubai's population rose 7.6%, while residential property space grew by 40,000 units or 12%, according to Jones Lang LaSalle. In 2011, the population grew by 2.5%, and the residential housing stock increased by 5%, or 16,000 units.
The results are plain. For example, in the boom of 2007 and 2008, a standard two-bedroom apartment in the affluent Dubai Marina neighborhood would sell for 3.6 million UAE dirhams ($953,000) or more. Now, with property prices down by more than 60% from their peak in 2008, the same apartment would sell for around 1.5 million dirhams, if it sold at all.
But big projects begun in the boom years are still being completed.
Last year, developers finished high-profile residential projects such as Grosvenor House Residence in Dubai Marina, La Riviera in Jumeirah Village and Masakin in Jumeirah Park.
According to Jones Lang LaSalle, Dubai's residential housing stock totaled 330,000 villas and apartment units in 2011. An extra 47,000 units are expected to be completed in the next five years, bringing the total to around 377,000 units, an increase of 14%.
Jones Lang LaSalle expects residential prices to fall by 10% in 2012 as 27,000 new units become available.
Craig Plumb, head of research at Jones Lang LaSalle, says the keys to a market recovery are "the amount of oversupply that was built in the last boom cycle, the time it will take to absorb that oversupply and the lack of control of planning and zoning that led to the oversupply in the first place."
Mr. Plumb says a Dubai government initiative to build more real estate, part of an effort to diversify away from oil, coupled with a lack of regulatory planning, led to the overbuilding now weighing down the market.
But he points out that the government is addressing the lack of regulation.
"The policy is changing and more is now being done to restrict the supply," he says. The Dubai Real Estate Authority, or RERA, "is now cancelling a number of projects but it is difficult to stop things once approvals have been given, so there is a time lag before the extra restrictions start to affect prices."
RERA's head, Marwan bin Ghalaita, says the government is moving to address the oversupply problem, but that a fall in property prices could benefit Dubai in the long run by attracting investors back into the market.
"We are managing the supply and we are aiming for less supply every year," Mr. Ghalaita says. "We are re-evaluating a lot of the projects announced previously and a lot have been canceled or suspended," he adds, describing the prices seen in 2008 as "exaggerated."
In June, RERA said it had canceled 217 out of 450 registered property projects since 2009 as the projects were unlikely to be completed because of the economic situation.
Among the high-profile projects that have been canceled are the Trump International Hotel and Tower, a proposed skyscraper hotel at the trunk of the Palm Jumeirah man-made archipelago; Dubai Properties' Tiger Woods Dubai, a proposed residential and golf-course project; and the Nakheel Tower, a proposed kilometer-high tower to be built by Nakheel, a prominent local developer.

A Challenge Worth Fighting For: Leadership By Woman Lawyers
Event in Focus
Transfers of Power and Unconscious Bias
Featured Group
The National Association of Women Lawyers ("NAWL") is "a national voluntary legal professional organization devoted to promoting the interests and progress of women lawyers and women's legal rights."
To address the disparity of women leadership in law firms and legal departments, in 2006 the organization started The NAWL Challenge, a ten-year deadline to the legal industry to change.
From a
NAWL press release
on The Challenge "Research indicates that women comprise nearly 50% of incoming law school students but only 15% of equity partners at law firms and 15% of chief legal officers. Thus, NAWL challenges both law firms and corporations with in-house legal departments to cure this inequity so that, by the year 2015, 30% of all equity partners, 30% of all chief legal officers and 30% of all tenured law faculties are women."
Each year NAWL issues a survey to measure the results of their efforts. Progress has been made, albeit we still have a long way to go. At present, female equity partnership still stays at about 15%, but the number of female chief legal officers has climbed to 17% since the start of the challenge.
What will be needed to see greater gains?
One area that will help improve the situation is a better knowledge of the issues facing women lawyers and a commitment to change. In areas such as unconscious bias, women face an uphill battle that men do not have to fight just to overcome stereotypes about how they work and lead.
We caught up with both the current (2010 to 2011) and incoming (2011 to 2012) presidents of NAWL and recorded podcasts with each of them. The discussions focused on unconscious bias, the NAWL Challenge, and how women lawyers are going to change the game.

The NAWL Challenge Across the Years
The NAWL Challenge was first issued in 2006 with the goal of having women account for 30% equity partnership (currently still at 15%), chief legal officers (currently at 17%), and tenured law professors by the year 2015. With four years to go there is still lots to be done.
Here's a look at the annual surveys and reports since 2006:

Surface ice has indeed been retreating, but 30% less than expected (and the high mountain glacial ice has had a near-zero trend, primarily because melting lower altitude ice has been balanced by increasing snowpack higher up the slopes).
Add to this the current observations getting closer to the lower 95% uncertainty bound on the IPCC AR4 modelling...
...I think climate scientists have a slight problem on their hands that requires a little more-than-typical explanation (although RealClimate does a decent attempt at it in the above link).
One the one hand, the hope is tha the additional arctic data series incorporated into HadCRUT4 will help re-angle the trends slightly enough to make recent years just the slight bit warmer than 1998, but unless we get a new El Nino blast (and no significant volcanic activity), climate scientists will HAVE to have a better answer for why the trends are in a relative plateau beyond short-term (<15 years) noise -- IF that happens. As it is, it should be non-controversial to point out that skepticism among lay-people will only increase regarding long-term projections that require economic intervention if the nearer-term results are already off (and shaded in the less-severe area).
Also, regarding Moberg et al (2005)... It sitll is commonly accepted among climate scientists that expeditions in temperature reconstructions (at a particular confidence and specificity level) prior to AD 1400 are quite problematic and more "for academic eyes only" (and Moberg is only a NH reconstruction).

I read it. So we "denialists" cherry-pick the data and take money to be against the science, huh?
Honestly, the biggest thing that irked me was that he essentially said "denialists are pretty much the same people as creationists."
I see. So because I'm a man of faith and don't believe I evolved from slime, I'm a denier of evolution too. Well, I guess so. I always thought it took more faith to believe the world and everything in it was an accident.
In the Ozarks, we get rain, snow, and everything in between. We also call it liquid death, white death, etc.

"This whole topic fascinates me greatly, and for the record I'm a 'believer' in Global Warming"
Fascinates me as well PSU. I'm not a believer, nor a dis-believer. It is an unknown to me. While I have no data and read no study, seems like a lot less record night time lows. Seems like a lot of the record lows date back many decades ago. Seems like most days that are above average aren't so much from the day time highs, but night time lows. For example the days highs within a degree or two of the average, but the night time lows 5 to 10 above average. Diurnal range seems less to me. I noticed there is typically quite a bit of a cirrus veil in the sky from air travel jet engine water emissions. I wonder if this is keeping the temperatures up at night? Maybe it's just urban sprawl tweaking the temps at night, I don't know. Might make for a good study.
All for going green and letting the bastards choke on their oil, but the green technologies can't power the whole grid and the thought of a global tax on carbon emissions is ludicrous. In my opinion it will only shift jobs and pollution across the globe. Some will get rich, some will go broke. Some areas will become cleaner, while others will have to deal with a big increase in pollution. It will be yet another bureaucratic scam IMO.
In any case seems to be a lot of chatter on the subject lately.
What a long strange trip its been.....

For me, while I am very nearly convinced anthropogenic activity is responsible for most of the warming in recent decades, (I disagree with what I believe is cherrypicked data to try to prove warming is in a 15 year lull) it is important to separate that enormous body of evidence from the political and socioeconomic arguments of what can be done about it. On those matters, we have no more expertise than anyone else out there, and those issues are very subjective.
I'm not convinced we CAN do anything to mitigate the greenhouse gas-induced warming, owing to the economic growth in China, India, and other developing nations--more coal-fired plants, more cars, more industry, etc.
The existence of anthropogenic forcing in warming and the mitigation of it are 2 entirely different balls of wax. To oversimplify, one is science, the other is politics.

With the implementation of any of the new/green energy infrastructure, there is a much more trained-to-be-NIMBY public (another reason why places like China will always be better able to out-distance us in green energy initiatives). The same environmentalists that want all sorts of green energy deployment on un-heard-of scales are the same people who just don't want it near them. The bummer is that the present energy installments can fulfill our energy needs, but it's just from undesirable sources... This brings the NIMBY issue back into play (see "Cape Wind" and several other New England wind energy projects that have been delayed 10 years or more).
The other issue is that with this decarbonized energy and increasing energy efficiency comes the problem of the 'rebound effect'. The math also works out in an unfortunate way: The "savings" always seems to wind up back into the system somehow by increased consumption in other areas. A few examples: The US / UK economies have been able to appear to decarbonize somewhat recently, but only because they've been offloading really dirty energy processes to other areas (like China); another example is the increasing gas mileage breakthroughs in modern cars-- people are 'taking advantage' of it by buying the same cars at now slightly higher mileage, and driving farther. It's all coming out in the wash. Not on a 'local community scale', but when averages out globally.
One recent story about this http://grist.org/energy-efficiency/h...limate-change/ goes down that dark road that implies that one of the few 'real' ways to reduce carbon footprints and energy consumption is by contracting the economy-- good luck with that.

I'm not saying that Global Warming has ended, but it's smart to acknowledge that this recent trending should encourage a re-evaluation of the uncertainty bounds of various climate variables-- not the least of which is CO2 sensitivity.
Even with all of that said, it also appears clear that the CO2 signal within the temperature equation is a large force (perhaps able to more than match all of the negative contributions of the other factors--- some studies put it at 75%, others nearer to 100%). This would continue to establish CO2 as a main driver of the climate (though perhaps not only dominant force, but it means something that it may be the only long-time-scale force on the 'warming' side of the equation in La Nina years).
I can only imagine the kind of temperture spike that lies in wait given the current understanding of all the physics involved if/when we get another strong El Nino year lined up with increaed solar output, and other facturs such that the CO climate signal can be additive instead of just balancing.
To get a look at an example estimate of the CO2 signal in the temperature data, check out Foster and Rahmstorf's calculations in their recent paper.

Response from Forecast the Facts
I asked the website attendant at Forecast the Facts what this was... here's the response:
Thanks for writing, and thank you for your rigorous commitment to communicating the science at NOAA. Allow me to clarify how this survey is working. Last week, we sent out an email to a small group of our supporters, directing them to a webpage where they could look up their local TV meteorologists, and email them through our system. Because we could not actually send an email through users individual account, we sent an email on their behalf from an email address that ended @forecastthefacts.org.

I received an e-mail as well, as did our morning meteorologist. Our "local" viewer's e-mail didn't contain the bold text that was in NSJ's e-mail, making it look much more like an average's viewer's e-mail. The only clue to where this was coming from was by looking at the e-mail address that ended in forecastthefacts.org.
Once I saw that, this raised some warning flags. I just responded that the "viewer" had some interesting questions, and if he wouldn't mind sending me his phone number, I'd be glad to contact him and answer his questions, since this was a complex issue that would be easier to answer by phone rather than by e-mail.
Needless to say, I haven't heard anything back.

How about collaborating with all the mets from all the stations in your market, writing up a response, and sending it signed by everyone? That's assuming of course everyone in the market is in agreement, but what would the trolling group do if they couldn't play stations off one another?
Not to be confused with Tom Freaking Skilling...

Oooooh!!! I just got mine!!
I am a viewer here in xxxxxxx and I'm interested in the issue of climate change and how it is affecting our weather. As someone who studies these things, I was hoping to get your opinion.
As I'm sure you're aware, there's been a lot of extreme weather recently, and last year set records for severe weather events. Scientists have identified climate change as a factor in all of this. Because I believe broadcast meteorologists have a role to play in communicating the science of climate change, I have joined a campaign called Forecast the Facts, which is focused on how broadcast meteorologists report on this important issue. They've helped to put me in touch with reporters like you to ask them their views on climate change.
I know that the American Meteorological Society says that human-induced climate change is occurring and is largely created by humans. I'm also aware of reports that climate change is likely to have an impact on weather events like droughts, floods, and shifting rainfall patterns. Do you agree with the AMS' position? Do you think climate change is happening? And do you think it will have an impact on weather in xxxxx?
To be blunt, whether it's occuring and why or why not is not my concern at my job. I forecast the weather, good or bad, no matter what it looks like to be. I am not the sounding board for any politics be them conservative, liberal, or independent.
Boy, you look better than good! You look like a weatherman!

Yeah: I got it twice, reponsed to the first one, very generic in my response, basically said, read everything you can on both sides of the issue,, then you can make an "iniformed" position, maybe, really did not give them my position. Second one I deleted because as you say someone is fishing. Got the first one last month, second one just recently.

Oh yes, here it is, a guest post from Eric Rawls.
In the Ozarks, we get rain, snow, and everything in between. We also call it liquid death, white death, etc.

That astroturf organization called "ForecasttheFacts.Org" has succeeded in getting GM to pull it's support funding for the Heartland institute over the issue of climate change. They have developed targets and ways to mobilize their members toward action, similar to many other "grassroots" groups that are funded by big money activists.
I just feel like getting this off my chest here rather than my professional blog, because posting it there is just going to make me be a target.
I don't mind that GM is pulling its funding from the Heartland Institute regarding climate change. It's their right to do what they want with their money, even if their relationship has been decades long and that the Heartland Institute hasn't been (to my knowledge) clandestine about what they do.
Here's a recent tactic review undertaken by advocates in the arena of climate-change / environmental issues, designed to refocus their efforts for greater success:
Here we see that "more funding must go" (from wealthy philanthropic donors) to groups that need the money for "grassroots organization and advocacy" ... For every Koch, there is a Soros, but ironically the same urgings that compel Soros to do his thing are apparently what villifies the Koch brothers... For the record, I'm rather ambivalent toward astroturfing (fake grassroots efforts) because it seems like it's been around for a while, and may well be the name of the game in the future for small local advocacy groups to have an impact or the right know-how.
So anyway, back to www.forecastthefacts.org (a Soros-funded astroturf organization, rather than a Koch funded one). So GM has made their decision, and that's fine, but my pet peeve beef is this:
Here's their press release: http://pastebin.com/xiuc79wz (it came into my email account at work, so it may have yours as well.
The key quote that annoyed me:
From http://www.latimes.com/news/local/en...%3A+latimes%2F
What happens when the same type of tactics are applied to under-handedly remove you from your job based on twitter tweets they determine to be "anti-climate" or whatever else they're looking for?

This is yet another reason to leave the AMS.
Global warming, now called "climate-change" so pretty much any weather event can be blamed on it, is the biggest scientific fraud of the last century, even bigger than the lipid hypothesis.
Here is my opinion after having studied the issue in great detail over the last few years.
Humans probably have some minute impact on climate, but the entire argument is about CO2 in the global warming debate.
1.) We simply can't produce enough of it to reach even historical levels. (The present atmosphere is CO2-starved when compared to every other geological time period in Earth's history since the Cambrian Explosion.)
2.) The "effects" on people have more to do with the fact the population in the United States has increased by 80 million people in the last 30 years, and we've added a couple of BILLION people to the entire world. Of course there will be more people impacted by bad weather, because there are more people on the planet PERIOD.
3.) The CO2 being released CAME FROM THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE. It isn't being created by humans. It was taken in by plants that became fossil fuels and we are releasing what was already present in the past atmosphere of the planet.
4.) Other much more significant factors like cosmic radiation and solar cycles are being completely ignored.
5.) Solutions to the problem cause so much economic damage as to be unsupportable, and the people pushing this fraud think taxing the entire planet is a solution. A tax cannot solve a problem like this, even if there was one.
The entire global warming debate infuriates me because it is a distraction from other, much more important issues we face.

EU Airline Carbon Tax Friction Is Hint Of New Climate Politics

At this point, the only thing keeping the EU together are the manufacturing economies of countries like Germany. The EU won't be able to institute any type of environmental regulations which will hurt the economies of their industrial bread winners. After all if they do, who bails out Greece, Spain, Italy, & Ireland? Or where does the cash come from? One thing European countries don't like is being told what to do by Germany. Since Germany is the only EU country with a balanced budget, a huge surplus of cash, & a hard working manufacturing industry; the EU has bigger issues to fix than making strict Climate Change treaties. If I'm wrong, and they do, the EU will collapse under the mountain of debt with in the next 5 years, more likely in 2 years.

Throwing a lot of heavy weights around is nothing new to Ralph Archuleta.
The 29-year-old West Las Vegas grad has been lifting for years, often while hanging around gyms with the likes of uncle Tommy and older brothers Adam and Frankie — who made his name as a professional boxer.
Four years ago, he even ventured into competitive powerlifting, winning an event in Rio Rancho and earning a nationals qualifier. But he passed on the opportunity to go to the next level.
"Just work," he said of opting out. "Too busy."
In Saturday's Vegas Bowl, the Robertson Cardinals will be looking to beef up their resume in time for Sunday's state playoff seeding. The West Las Vegas Dons will be playing for pride, trying to end on an upbeat note.
No matter what, the annual East-West game always means something.
Kickoff is set for 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Cardinal Stadium. Because of parking issues at RHS, a shuttle service is being offered from other school sites to and from the stadium.
Twice Wednesday night, the Highlands volleyball team had match point against Eastern New Mexico only to watch opportunity disappear.
Eastern (6-22) won 25-17, 25-22, 24-26, 22-25, 20-18 at Greyhound Arena in Portales. NMHU fell to 11-17 after the non-league match.
Highlands led 13-9 in the fifth set following a 6-0 run that included kills by Ashley Nugent, Dominique Benton, Kelsey Groff and Brooke Tuttle.
This fishing report, provided by the Department of Game and Fish, has been generated from the best information available from area officers, anglers, guides and local businesses. Conditions may vary as stream, lake and weather conditions alter fish and angler activities.
COYOTE CREEK: The flow is .92 cfs. No report.
• Class 1A-3A state tournaments, TBA, Albuquerque
• NMHU vs.. Western State, 7 p.m., Wilson Complex
• District 2-3A tournament
• District 4-2A tournament
• NMHU women at UNM, 2 p.m., The Pit, Albuquerque
Cross country
• NMHU at NCAA Division II Central Regional, 8 a.m., Washington Park, Denver
While the Fort Lewis College women's soccer team has enjoyed lofty national rankings this fall, unlike the Skyhawks' first-round Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament opponent New Mexico Highlands, not much has separated them on the pitch.
On Sept. 30 at Perkins Stadium, the Cowgirls lost 3-2 in overtime to Fort Lewis, then the No. 3 ranked team in NCAA Division II.
Then on Oct. 23, the Skyhawks held on for a 2-1 verdict in Durango, Colo. FLC was ranked 14th at the time.
New Mexico State's women's basketball team got a Halloween night scare courtesy of the visiting New Mexico Highlands Cowgirls, who pushed the Aggies to overtime before losing 81-75 in a season-opening exhibition game at the Pan Am Center in Las Cruces.
Four straight free throws in OT by forward Tabytha Wampler sealed the win for New Mexico State.
Whitley Coca paced the Cowgirls with 18 points on 6 of 12 shooting.
A strong effort in barrel racing proved key in lifting New Mexico Highlands' women to a runner-up finish in New Mexico State's rodeo Oct. 28-29 in Las Cruces.
Unlike the previous three rodeos, NMSU's rodeo was just a one-header, which means there was no short round competition. The NMHU women finished in second place just behind NMSU, while the men's team ended up fourth.
The event in which the most purple vests succeeded was the barrel racing, where NMHU captured second, third, fourth and sixth places.

From Booklist
"A remarkable book. It is also a brave one…Barber conjures up some beautifully realized scenes." ―New York Times Book Review
"With the screw-tightening verve of a great thriller and the romantic pull of Renaissance poetry, the novel -- which purports that Marlowe is the true author of William Shakespeare's legendary oeuvre -- is a gripping, lyrical, most unlikely page-turner." ―American Way
"Lush, inspired and provocative, this spellbinding dossier conjures up a bewitching Marlowe." ―Kirkus
"Marlowe meets fascinating characters, sneaky spies and counterfeiters, gifted poets and playwrights, self-serving noblemen and vicious gutter-snipes. Barber's vivid portrayal of filthy, stinking London, the horror of the plague, the rampant and bloody religious intolerance, and the squalid daily life of 16th-century Europe are accurate and convincing." ―Publishers Weekly
"A must-read for anyone interested in Marlowe, William Shakespeare or 16th-century English history . . . The writing is superb, the plot moves quickly and Marlowe's story is compelling. An award-winning, highly original novel in verse about the life of Christopher Marlowe--even after the world believed him dead." ―Shelf Awareness
"A damn fine book . . . Barber's focus is to tell a story through gorgeous verse." ―The Common
"Terrifically accomplished and enjoyable . . . restores one's faith in English fiction." ―Fay Weldon
"Searing poetry meets compelling narrative in a historical tour de force that had me ripping through the pages. My only complaint is that everything else I read for a while now will, I fear, suffer by comparison." ―Robyn Young, author of The Fall of the Templars and Brethren
"For me personally, this is the most complete Marlowe I've ever encountered." ―Will Self, author of Umbrella
"A story of ambition, infamy, beer, cunning, facepaint, red herrings, knives, and pen and paper, [The Marlowe Papers] is not only an homage to Marlowe but a celebration of poetry - and of its power to allow the dead to speak." ―Blake Morrison, author of And When Did You Last See Your Father?
"The best book I've read for a long time. Truly innovative, truly original, and a powerful poetic journey to another truth. Ros Barber has told a great story, in a fascinating way, so fascinating that she had someone like me gripped to the very end. This really is a joy to read and a true work of art." ―Benjamin Zephaniah, author of Gangsta Boy and Face
"The Marlowe Papers is a bravura performance: a noir thriller in doublet and hose. The life of Kit Marlowe, the baddest boy of English Literature, is great fare for any writer. There's espionage and sex; murder and treachery; and, this being England, a healthy dose of cross-dressing. And Barber serves it, steaming hot." ―Simon Worrall, author of The Poet and The Murderer
"Combines historical erudition with a sharply satisfying read. Marlowe's passion infects the page; Barber's skill draws the fever." ―The Independent (UK)
"The Marlowe Papers is the best read, so far, this year." ―The Sunday Express

While enjoying a day at the NASCAR races, Homer's shirtless antics inadvertently cause the death of Ned Flanders' wife, Maude, and Flanders begins losing faith when Homer bungles his way to helping his depressed neighbor.
- Credits Gag: During the credits that run underneath the first sequence of the episode, the writer credit is larger than ususal, timed to appear after Lisa comes across a tree with initials carved on it and wonders, "Why do jerks think everyone wants to see their stupid name?"
- Despair Event Horizon: Maudes death in the episode nearly destroyed Ned to a point that he momentarily refused to attend church because he believed that God punished him for no reason and ruined his life.
- Getting Crap Past the Radar: Ned's endowment◊ (which could be interpreted as either Homer using video special effects to entice women who watch his dating video or Ned actually having a large penis).
- Gilligan Cut: Ned tells his sons he won't attend church, saying "I'm going to sit right here and miss church. You just watch." Cut to Ned hurriedly driving, saying "Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry!"
- Parting Words Regret: Flanders regrets telling his wife "No foot longs" instead of "I love you" or something more meaningful.
- Pixellation: When Flanders is filmed taking a shower.
- Tonight, Someone Dies: The promos for "Alone Again, Natura-Diddily" literally asked: "Who will die?", and proceeding to list off a bunch of potential victims. Unfortunately, word got out before the episode aired that Maude would be the unfortunate one, so these promos didn't generate the expected suspense.
- 21-Gun Salute: In honor of the way Maude died, there's a twenty-one T-shirt-gun salute at her funeral.
- Wham Episode

The guards swept throught the ship, one of thm arriving into the room where Aislin was hanging from the roof. After going throught the room, the guard looked up and noticed the body due to the light enhancement device on his vizor. He pointed his blaster at it just in case and contacted the only guard that had stayed behind who was also the Head of Guards.
"Milord, we found a body hanging from the roof. This one's a masochist" the Head of Guard said after recieving the report. Tepe gave a silent nod and then headed up the ramp.
"Computer, Bacta Boy. Override secondary commands" Tepe said as soon as he got inside, walking throught the ship and into the room where the disguised Aislin dropped from the roof only to be caught by Tepe with the force so she floated in air. After Tepe looked around the room, he dropped her down on the floor.
"This Bounty Hunter is truly and idiot. Managing to steal one of my ships and not even finding the main override codes" Take the body and dump it off the side of the landing pad, then fly the ship back to the Embassy hangars. Tepe said, knowing just as well as Aislin that the body was her. He was attempting to get her to reveal herself prematurely.
"I thought the Jedi of Coruscant detatched from Skywalker's Order after the Formation Wars began all over again. Was the rift so clear even before that?" Jony asked and looked at the Lady much more curiously than before. He was a history freak if you will and the schools and academies always have slightly biased information. And his duties never seem to give him enought time to go to visit the libraries either. So he usually just questions anyone older than him about anything that has happened in the past when he meets them. Especially if it comes up in the conversation.
