Liberal Analysis On Liberal MSNBC, the Precise Liberal Equivalent to Fox News
I think comparing Scarborough to Ron Burgundy is a little charitable. I mean, I'd much rather watch 3 hours of jazz flute solos than Morning Joe.

Joe Scarborough is a man! A man who discovered the wheel and built the Eiffel Tower out of iron and brawn! That's what kind of man he is!
Jonathan Chait is just a liberal with a small brain. A brain a third the size of us. It's science.
Closer inspection will reveal that he built that tower out of painted balsa wood.
Even more impressive!
Childish insults and skewed graphs liberals make up on their mom's PowerPoint does not change reality. Facts-and math-are stubborn things.
Say what you want about the trolls that hang around here – few of them have posted anything as stupid as what Joe posts on his Twitter feed.
I agree with Chait – I particularly like the contrast of calling out "childish insults" while subtly indicating that Chait still relies on his mother to support him.
I think I might need to follow Scarborough's Twitter feed just to see how many other nuggets of comedy the man provides.
That might be the least self-aware tweet ever written.
I'm not even mad. That's amazing.
Joe Scarborough is a Beltway moron, and a skunk of the highest order. How he got a morning show is beyond me. Nothing but Beltway claptrap and regurgitated conventional wisdom served up with a side of Starbucks.
Fuck that noise. Nobody needs it.
Loud noises! Loud noises!
I wanna holler the loud funny words! I LIKE DARIN, HE IS MY FRIEND! I LIKE YOU AND HIM! HE LIKES ME! AND I LIKE HIM! HE LIKES YOU I HOPE! I LIKE HIS AUTOGRAPH IT IS A NICE PICTURE! HE IS NICE!
You guys are dating, eh?
Isn't being a Beltway moron and a skunk of the highest order prerequisites for getting a morning show?
Ah yes, those exploding entitlements, aka the rents that the many health care-related industries extract because we don't have single payer and have made our current government programs ineffective at bidding down prices.
He's an ass — but like the old Imus Show — he gets decent guests who are actually allowed to speak from time to time and plays good music before and after the commercial breaks.
Whatever happened to the Imus?
Isn't he a hair stylist for Black women?
Whatever decent guests he might have on are offset by the D.C. human furniture with which he populates his set — Barnicle, Harold Ford, Brokaw, Halperin, etc. And playing snippets of classic rock songs in and out of break strikes me as a lame attempt at establishing coolness bona fides and pretense to an energy that doesn't exist. Beyond that, the juvenile celebration of traditional gender roles that he and his studio wife Mika communicate is fucking wretched.

the talk show host equivalent of name checking ac/dc and led zeppelin in your convention speech
Bingo. I once saw William Bennett name-check his way through bands he was "into" in his youth. It was only remarkable for what I didn't hear — any trace of authenticity.
So, you don't believe the reports that he dated Janis Jopliin?
It was one blind date. I can't use that as a positive reflection of his taste in music or as a negative reflection of her taste in men.
That last part times a 100. Mika's ability/willingness to play the dumb blonde is sickening
We don't get him in my part of Asia…part of the natural charm of Phils.
To be fair, Scarborough is somewhat of a token conservative in the MSNBC environment. But of course, on the other hand, even though Fox has had token liberals from time to time, Alan Colmes wasn't given his own morning talk show.
To be fair….
For a variety of reasons, ranging from the pedantic nitpicky desire to waffle over the technicalities of Scarborough's role at MSNBC, to the more idealistic attitude that intellectual fairness is a necessary part of liberalism and a just society. (Or really, it's mostly the former, but since you explicitly questioned me on it, the latter is certainly coming to mind.)
Although I guess calling Scarborough a token isn't really quite right, since he's been on MSNBC since before they really embraced their current position as a liberal-ish alternative to Fox. His role on MSNBC is kind of complicated, I suppose.
Well since I moved to S E Asia I have not seen MSNBC. I miss them, but certainly not Joe. We don't generally have American style circuses and clowns.
In fairness, MSNBC is not often a circus, but Joe is always a clown.
I have been out of the US for three years, myself. Does MSNBC still do 48 hours of prison documentaries every weekend.
It would be great if they just did a documentary marathon covering a range of topics each weekend, but who the hell ever watched that?
Yes. My favorite part of watching Rachel Maddow on Fridays is when she says at the end of the show, totally deadpan, "And now it's time to go to prison."
How is he a token? He gets three hours a day. The token "liberals" – Maddow, Schultz, O'Donnell, Sharpton – total four hours. Then you have a mainstream hack, Matthews, a mainstream "journalist," Mitchell and a bunch of mainstream news shows.
I've never really bought the idea of MSNBC as a liberal-ish alternative to Fox for precisely this reason.
I think they're liberal-ish, but the ish part is important.
Well, the liberals get the sweet prime time block. Scarborough gets fifteen hours a week to play around with, but it's not in a time of the day when people are just going to sit down and watch the whole block.
I absolutely agree that MSNBC is not a liberal equivalent of Fox. But they are trying to certainly trying to project that image, giving their liberals their most high profile timeslots. (Of course, Chris Matthews shares the prime time timeslot block with the liberals, and I agree that Chris Matthews is a fucking hack, but at least he seems to be trying to fit in along them as being a liberal-leaning hack.) MSNBC absolutely isn't all conservative all the time in the way that Fox is, but they're accentuating their liberal side.
What you're leaving out is the fact that Fox just makes shit up half the time. If they were just reporting and opining with a conservative bias, the way that MSNBC reports and opines with a liberal bias (for at least part of the time), that would be one thing. MSNBC does not promote the views of the left-wing equivalents of Newsmax, World News Daily, Alex Jones and Rush Limbaugh the way that Fox does.
Actually valuing balance, intellectual rigor, and fairness are values that are innate to liberalism.
In a sense, MSNBC including these things, while Fox does not, is part of what makes it a "liberal version."
How did Barack Obama win? Nobody Joe knows voted for him.
That's certainly a telling reflection on Joe. Is he a buddy of Rand Paul or Inhofe?
You may be the first evern to see the parallel between Scarborough and Pauline Kael
Yeah, but Fox & Friends still makes Morning Ho look like William F. Buckley's Firing Line. Shit, Fox & Friends makes the Howard Stern Show look like Buckley's Firing Line. Besides, isn't Ron Burgundy more like Steve Doocey?
I can't believe a conservative would use the word "skewed" after the recent unpleasantness with election polling.
I thought of two good things to say about Morning Joe:
The still photography they use when they go to, and come back from, commercials is quality stuff.
Joe and Mika have genuinely interesting on-air chemistry.
It's Pancake Day!
The day before Ash Wednesday is known as Mardi, but from now on, in honour of this blog, I shall call this last day of feasting Pancake Day!
OK, that's pretty good, man. Full marks.
Mardi Gras*
Fat pancakes? Even better!
i know it was a joke, and i know it was "watch," and presumably you even meant "unaccompanied jazz flute solos," but i'm here to defend jazz flute!
seriously, i have a jazz flute playlist (made it for a friend who was learning flute) that has north of 40 pieces (i'm not in front of the playlist right now) featuring flute solos, that runs more than 4 hours, and includes such masters as eric dolphy, sam rivers, james newton, henry threadgill, and rahsaan, and it's excellent and quite listenable.
Screw Lemieux, I'll listen to Yusef Lateef anytime.
lateef is part of the flute playlist i mentioned as well, and now that i'm in front of it, it consists of 45 tracks, 4.1 hours, and worth every second of your listening (i even have a herbie mann track that's surprisingly good!).

Cloudy outlook for albedo?
The ISCCP estimate (right) shows a decreasing albedo trend of 1-2% in the 80s and 90s (as opposed to 7-8% in the earthshine-based proxy), a small increase of 1% form 1999 to 2001 and a flattening of the curve in the last three years. Quantitatively similar trends are derived from radiative flux retrievals by the ERBS and Terra and Aqua satellites.
Next consider the difference in trends between low-level and high-level clouds. It's important that definitions be used carefully when we interpret satellite retrievals. First, the satellite can see actual low clouds only when higher cloud layers are not present. Second, the satellites retrieve the radiative, not the physical top of the clouds. As a result, a low cloud with a cirrus cloud overhead can be classified as a midlevel cloud in satellite observations. All these issues must be taken into account when calculating the radiative effect of clouds, as is done in the radiative calculations by the ISCCP group. More importantly, not all high-level and almost none of the middle-level clouds are radiative-warming agents. There is an optical depth threshold that depends on the cloud top height, above which the cloud becomes a cooling agent even with tops at high altitudes. Therefore the use of combined middle-plus-high clouds as a measure of the warming potential of the cloud field is a substantial overestimate of the effect. Moreover, a more careful look at the changes of ISCCP clouds by cloud type shows that the increase in total cloud cover from 2000 to 2004 is due to a small increases in high-level clouds and a larger increase in middle-level clouds that are mostly thermally neutral and therefore could not cause warming (see figures, data).
The increases in both high-level and middle level clouds (right) are caused by increases in the optically thicker cloud types, cirrostratus and cumulonimbus for the high-level and altostratus and nimbostratus for the mid-level clouds, that due to their large optical depths, cause radiative cooling. In fact, the same radiative calculations performed by the ISCCP group show that the outgoing longwave radiation increases during this time, opposite to the effect claimed. Therefore, the qualitative explanation given in the article is contrary to the quantitative analysis results derived from the ISCCP data.
The reconstruction of radiative fluxes from atmospheric properties is a very difficult and tedious job and both the ISCCP and ERBE/CERES groups are putting a great deal of effort into producing detailed and carefully evaluated radiative flux datasets. Both datasets show little or no albedo trend in the last four years. Thus explanations for how the albedo trends of the last four years are consistent with the surface warming and the ocean heat content increases are not necessarily required at this point in time.

I just joined this board a few days ago and I'm trying to get some info on anyone who makes the Leia Endor costume (with poncho) for my wife for halloween. I'm going to be a stormtrooper and my 8 month old will be a little Ewok Any info or help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

I wanted to post my ESB fett costume that I have been working on. I bought a kind of mixed ROTJ/ESB costume for a decent price off ebay around 6 months ago and have been working to convert it to a full ESB costume. So there are definitely things that still make it a mixed costume (blaster, flight suit, etc) which I will continue to change as time goes on and money is available. Here are some specifics about the pieces I know:
-Armor: wickebeard (chest, abdomen, shoulders, and back)
-Cod armor: plastic, unsure who made, hoping to replace
-Jetpack: MOW
-Helmet: FP? (unsure of who painted this but it looks pretty awesome)
-Gauntlets: MOW
-Gloves: bobamaker
-Boots: caboots weathered and spiked by bobamaker
-Braids:...should have some from woodman in the next couple weeks
-Knee armor: balsa wood ****, hoping to replace as soon as possible, have upgrades to aluminum darts at least
-Shin tools: Resin replicas, not sure of the maker, got on ebay
Attachment 64304Attachment 64305Attachment 64306Attachment 64307
-Flightsuit and flak vest: not sure, came with initial costume
-Cape: ebay, TK(don't remember the numbers after)
-Chest display: fettronics
-Beacon light: made from batninjas tutorial
-JP beacon and stabilizer: made by me, not quite accurate but they work
-Belts: came with initial costume off ebay
-JP harness: custom aluminum, made by myself (see my thread!)
So I definitely know there is a lot more I could do to make it movie accurate (white elastic around knees, "elastithong" for cod, etc.), but if you notice anything or have any critique I am always thankful for constructive criticism.

No. 20 Softball Visits In-State Foe No. 11 Louisville Wednesday
April 2, 2013
LEXINGTON, Ky. – After its lone conference bye weekend of the season, the No. 20/21 University of Kentucky softball team is set to begin a stretch of seven games over the next eight days, starting with an in-state showdown vs. No. 11/11 Louisville on Wednesday at 6 p.m. ET at Ulmer Stadium in Louisville, Ky. Live stats from the game can be found at UKathletics.com.
Kentucky (24-9, 5-4 Southeastern Conference) has won four of its last five games after a three-game sweep of Mississippi State, who was receiving votes at the time, two weekends ago, and a midweek road win at Lipscomb last Wednesday. The Wildcats lone loss during the stretch was to top-five ranked Tennessee in a non-conference home game last Friday.
After the single-game set with Louisville on Wednesday, Kentucky will restart SEC action by traveling to South Carolina for a three-game series beginning Friday. UK will face Marshall on Tuesday, April 9 in a rescheduled game from an earlier rainout before a doubleheader at Eastern Kentucky on Wednesday, April 10. The Wildcats will return home April 12-14 vs. Florida for the official opening of the newly constructed UK Softball Complex. The weekend will feature numerous promotions to introduce UK fans to the new facility. Stay tuned to UKathletics.com for more information on the weekend's events.
The Wildcats have played well against non-conference foes this season, posting an 18-5 record in non-SEC games, including a 16-3 mark away from home in those games. Catcher Griffin Joiner, who is putting together a great sophomore campaign, has been terrific at the plate in those games, hitting .379 (22-for-58) with seven doubles, one triple, six homers and 22 RBI. Freshman pitcher Kelsey Nunley and junior hurler Lauren Cumbess are a combined 15-2 in the circle in non-conference games, striking out a combined 106 batters in 125 innings.
Kentucky has also performed well in clutch situations this season, boasting a 7-2 record in one-run games and 5-1 record in extra-inning affairs. UK is 22-1 this season when leading or tied after the fourth inning, while the Wildcats have won 14 of the 16 games they have scored first in. Kentucky is 4-4 in true road games this season while it sits 17-6 overall away from the UK Softball Complex.
For the second consecutive week, the Wildcats stayed at No. 20 in the ESPN.com/USA Softball Top 25 and No. 21 in USA Today/National Fastpitch Coaches Association Top 25. UK has been in the top 25 of both polls since entering the rankings on Feb. 12. Kentucky was receiving votes in both preseason polls.
Head coach Rachel Lawson and Co., have defeated four teams that were ranked in either poll at the time UK faced them in then-No. 3 California, No. 16 Washington, No. 20 Stanford and No. 25 North Carolina. UK has played 15 games against teams currently ranked in the ESPN.com/USA Softball Top 25 and 13 games against teams currently ranked in the USA Today/NFCA Top 25. UK holds an 8-7 record against the ESPN.com/USA Softball Top 25 and a 7-6 record against the USA Today/NFCA Top 25.
The Wildcats are scheduled to play 11 more games against teams ranked highly in both polls, including two games against Louisville. UK will also play three-game sets against No. 3/3 Florida, No. 4/7 Alabama and No. 6/7 Missouri.
Kentucky enters the series led offensively by freshman Nikki Sagermann, who is hitting .367 (22-for-60) with one double, two home runs and 11 RBI. Joiner, Cumbess and freshman Maisie Steed have been the power bats for Kentucky. Joiner leads the team with eight doubles, eight homers and 28 RBI, while Cumbess is second with 22 RBI adding four homers. Steed has six roundtrippers in her rookie campaign along with 12 RBI. Senior Alice O'Brien and freshman Christian Stokes each have three home runs and 20-plus RBI this season.
In the circle, Nunley paces the Wildcats with a 15-4 record and a 2.00 ERA. Nunley's 15 wins already rank her tied for sixth in the UK single-season record books. The native of Soddy Daisy, Tenn., has struck out 104 batters in 129.1 innings this season with opponents hitting .209 against her. Cumbess is second on the team in pitching with a 2.52 ERA and a 6-2 record. Cumbess has 55 strikeouts this season in 64 innings pitched.
Louisville (28-6, 2-1 Big East) enters the week ranked 11th in both collegiate softball polls. The Cardinals are led offensively by junior second baseman Katie Keller who is hitting .473 (52-for-110) on the season with eight home runs, 39 runs scored and 32 RBI. Senior first baseman Alicja Wolny is hitting .411 (39-for-95) with six homers and 24 RBI, while junior catcher Maggie Ruckenbrod has a .361 (35-for-97) average with 11 doubles and 28 RBI. Junior pitcher Caralisa Connell has an 18-2 record this season with a 1.77 ERA and 151 strikeouts in 130.2 innings, while junior Rachel LeCoq is 10-4 with a 2.05 ERA and 47 strikeouts.
Louisville leads the all-time series against Kentucky 17-13, including an 8-7 edge in the series in Louisville. The Cardinals have won seven straight home games in the series dating back to 2007, including two last season. UK and U of L met three times last season with the Cardinals earning one-run wins in all three games. The final meeting was an NCAA Regional elimination game in Louisville with the Cardinals posting a 3-2 victory. U of L leads the all-time series in games played in Lexington 6-9. UK has played more games against Louisville than any other non-SEC team in school history.
Wednesday's game is the first of two scheduled games this season between Kentucky and Louisville. The Cardinals will travel to Lexington on Wednesday, April 24 for a 6 p.m. ET first pitch.

Featured News Items
The Wenner-Gren Foundation is interested in hearing from its grantees and knowing about:
- 1) news about research in the field and findings
- 2) news and links to any articles where the grantees' research is featured
- 3) photos from the field (featuring grantees)
If you have information concerning your Wenner-Gren supported work, please send it here.
Program Changes in 2010
The Wenner-Gren Foundation is pleased to announce an increase in the maximum grant amount for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from $15,000 to $20,000 for applications submitted by the May 1, 2010 deadline. This brings the maximum amount for this program in line with the maximum for Wenner-Gren Post-Ph.D Research Grants and for National Science Foundation Dissertation Improvement Grants in Anthropology, Archaeology and Biological Anthropology.
This increase is made possible by improvements in the financial markets over the past year. The Foundation is dependent entirely on the income generated from its endowment, which declined meaningfully during the recent financial crisis. This forced very difficult funding decisions in 2009, including reductions in maximum grant amounts as well as reductions in success rates across all of our programs.
Financial recovery also has allowed us to restore success rates across all of our programs to those in force before the financial downturn while retaining the Osmundsen Initiative program.
The Osmundsen Initiative was introduced in 2009 (click here for information on its introduction). It provides up to an additional $5,000 of support for select applicants who receive either a Dissertation Fieldwork Grant or a Post-Ph.D. Research Grant. Applicants must demonstrate how their work 1) scales up from a local situation or focused topic to address broader social or intellectual issues, and 2) engages the unique value of the anthropological approach to illuminate these broader issues.
Applicants who are successful in receiving either a Dissertation Fieldwork Grant or a Post-Ph.D. Research Grant, together with an Osmundsen Initiative Supplement, can receive up to a maximum of $25,000 for their project.
Over the past year, the Foundation has been pleased with the responses to the Osmundsen Initiative Supplement. In the most recent funding season, over 50% of the Dissertation Fieldwork applicants also applied for an Osmundsen supplement. The Foundation believes that retention of the Osmundsen supplement ensures that we continue to support the highest quality anthropological research that at the same time demonstrates the unique qualities of anthropology to make a significant contribution to contemporary concerns and/or interests.

I think his BA could be twenty points higher if he had more of a line drive approach. And I think he is very capable of doing it. And he'd still hit his share of homers.
I think his BA could be twenty points higher if he had more of a line drive approach. And I think he is very capable of doing it. And he'd still hit his share of homers.
Wonder why he doesn't play more?
Frazier's home run was a missle. But couldn't hold a candle to Alvarez's throw to first.
Latos strikes out for the 3rd out
Most Vottomatic Player
quick poll. who gets sent down tomm. when Cairo gets called back?
my vote-Frazier(should be Harris, but Im going with my gut feeling)
"In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball. Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms, the game of ball is glorious"
-Walt Whitman
Latos strikes out the side.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Has to be Harris.
Good inning by Latos. Fans the side.
I don't think they will dump Harris. Do they really want no lefty bats on the bench?
But it all doesn't make a lot of sense. Why should Harris' lefthandedness allow him to stay despite very poor hitting?
The answer is that the Reds should make multiple changes, even small ones.
They could trade Ludwick or Heisey for a lefty bat. Then, send out Harris and keep Frazier.
The offense needs some re-working, even if the moves are relatively minor.
Another option is to send down Harris and give him some at bats. He'll get it going, then he could come back.
I think they want to keep the lefty on the bench but how in the world do you keep a guy who has 2 hits on the year. If they want a LH bat on the bench Walt needs to go get someone else

This is a discussion on Reloading 101 (ish!) within the Reference & "How To" Forum forums, part of the Related Topics category; We have some questions on reloading in another thread .. and I have been making a few notes recently to provide some odd hints for ...
We have some questions on reloading in another thread .. and I have been making a few notes recently to provide some odd hints for folks .......... this is incomplete and biased toward my use of Lee equipment.
So - really no more than a few considerations ..... please feel free to add any info from experience.
Reloading 101 - handgun ammo primarily.
Here are a few thoughts on reloading - mostly born thru the time I have been doing this. It is far from definitive or comprehensive and no doubt people will add to it. The comments are based on my own use of Lee equipment ...... turret presses for handgun ammo - usually single stage for rifle. Dillon users probably can skip some of this.
First and foremost - anyone starting on reloading - get and read books!! Plus also if possible visit a shooting buddy who reloads and learn some stuff that way. Dean A. Grennell's "ABC's of Reloading" is a good start - old book but still valid. Then obtain all load data possible, some of which is in PDF form online. Books - Lyman #47 is good and better than later #48. Speer #13 is useful and also Richard Lee's 2nd Edition "Modern Reloading".
Majority of things I'll mention are actually more useage ''wrinkles'' that I have found over time plus of course some safety angles and general information - most 'usual' stuff is in good books. No particular order here.
Always wear eye protection.!!
Never load to max initially ........ start 10% below max and work up, until both gun cycling (on semi's) and accuracy peak out. It is rarely necessary or by default, better to use max loads.
Keep case flare to a minimum at stage two when powder charging ....... as long as bullet will sit straight atop the case ready for seating it should be enough - plus too enough to prevent lead shaving on cast bullets.
Do not operate ram to excessive speed when bullet seating - very fast can lead to a degree of ''inertial'' over seating, which on high pressure rounds can/will alter peak pressures.
Crimp to suit caliber and load, as well as bullet design. Roll crimp for revolver rounds and taper crimp for semi's. A 38 spl light load will retain the bullet almost entirely by case tension after sizing and so need minimal crimp - the .357 Mag however benefits from a fairly generous roll crimp - both the avoid bullets creeping under recoil and, providing a small extra time for a slow powder to fully burn. More crimp however work hardens the brass and so reduces case life.
If a semi case such as .45acp or 9mm is properly sized, the neck tension will provide most bullet grip - a small taper crimp is more to negate any (slight) flair used pre seating, remembering that these cases headspace on the case mouth ....... excessive taper crimp will only risk bullet deformation.
Tungsten dies are worth the slight extra cost - they allow for not having to lube cases with parallel format - for example the 38/357's, the 9mm's and .45 acp's. However when cases get larger and even longer (example is 45-70), lube is desirable to avoid sticking . I favor Hornady ''One Shot'' spray as it leaves minimal residue - however I have also used ATF oil on a pad too.
Beware the double charge!!!! And the zero charge too! It is useful to have good overhead light and even a small mirror set up to see inside long cases. The risk is small with large charges of slower powder in for example .357's - they fill the case well. However small target charges of fast powders like Bullseye are hard to see and a double charge over pressure can break a gun! If using a Lee turret in fact it is almost impossible to go wrong as, when flairing and with an auto disk hopper, you only get one powder drop so unless the hopper runs dry you get one charge.
Distractive reloading. Do not let the rhythm become too automatic and try not to stop when interrupted in the middle of a sequence. If unsure what you did last - break that incomplete cycle and start over.
If you recap a primer inverted - slowly ease it out thru the sizing die for the decapping pin to operate, and then recap. Some may choose not to do this but the energy required to initiate a primer is considerable . gentle pressure will not. Eye protection however is still a barrier, should a primer go off. Never happened to me yet in 30 years!
Do not bother trying to reload aluminum or steel cases ..... it can be done with steel but could trash decent dies .. the aluminum is not ductile enough to risk using again. Be a (sensible) brass bandit!

Cuckoo Science
Sometimes on Realclimate we discuss important scientific uncertainties, and sometimes we try and clarify some subtle point or context, but at other times, we have a little fun in pointing out some of the absurdities that occasionally pass for serious 'science' on the web and in the media. These pieces look scientific to the layperson (they have equations! references to 19th Century physicists!), but like cuckoo eggs in a nest, they are only designed to look real enough to fool onlookers and crowd out the real science. A cursory glance from anyone knowledgeable is usually enough to see that concepts are being mangled, logic is being thrown to the winds, and completely unjustified conclusions are being drawn – but the tricks being used are sometimes a little subtle.
Two pieces that have recently drawn some attention fit this mold exactly. One by Christopher Monckton (a viscount, no less, with obviously too much time on his hands) which comes complete with supplementary 'calculations' using his own 'M' model of climate, and one on JunkScience.com ('What Watt is what'). Junk Science is a front end for Steve Milloy, long time tobacco, drug and oil industry lobbyist, and who has been a reliable source for these 'cuckoo science' pieces for years. Curiously enough, both pieces use some of the same sleight-of-hand to fool the unwary (coincidence?).
But never fear, RealClimate is here!
The two pieces both spend a lot of time discussing climate sensitivity but since they don't clearly say so upfront, it might not at first be obvious. (This is possibly because if you google the words 'climate sensitivity' you get very sensible discussions of the concept from Wikipedia, ourselves and the National Academies). We have often made the case here that equilibrium climate sensitivity is most likely to be around 0.75 +/- 0.25 C/(W/m2) (corresponding to about a 3°C rise for a doubling of CO2).
Both these pieces instead purport to show using 'common sense' arguments that climate sensitivity must be small (more like 0.2 °C/ W/m2, or less than 1°C for 2xCO2). Our previous posts should be enough to demonstrate that this can't be correct, but it worth seeing how they arithimetically manage to get these answers. To save you having to wade through it all, I'll give you the answer now: the clue is in the units of climate sensitivity – °C/(W/m2). Any temperature change (in °C) divided by any energy flux (in W/m2) will have the same unit and thus can be 'compared'. But unless you understand how radiative forcing is defined (it's actually quite specific), and why it's a useful diagnostic, these similar seeming values could be confusing. Which is presumably the point.
Readers need to be aware of at least two basic things. First off, an idealised 'black body' (which gives of radiation in a very uniform and predictable way as a function of temperature – encapsulated in the Stefan-Boltzmann equation) has a basic sensitivity (at Earth's radiating temperature) of about 0.27 °C/(W/m2). That is, a change in radiative forcing of about 4 W/m2 would give around 1°C warming. The second thing to know is that the Earth is not a black body! On the real planet, there are multitudes of feedbacks that affect other greenhouse components (ice alebdo, water vapour, clouds etc.) and so the true issue for climate sensitivity is what these feedbacks amount to.
So here's the first trick. Ignore all the feedbacks – then you will obviously get to a number that is close to the 'black body' calculation. Duh! Any calculation that lumps together water vapour and CO2 is effectively doing this (and if anyone is any doubt about whether water vapour is forcing or a feedback, I'd refer them to this older post).

Our loyal reader Jim holds a special place in his heart for this macho machine. When he was growing up, the Grader Tonka toy was always his favorite Tonka toy of the bunch. A car guy in the making, Jim favored the Grader because its reason for being was to make roads flat and smooth. Anyone who loves driving has to appreciate that glass-smooth curves don't appear out of thin air – they come from awesome machines like this. The brand of this older example, spotted on an off-ramp between AZ and CA, was unclear but Jim did catch an eyeful of Detroit Diesel under the yellow sheet metal – so you know it has logged its fair share of work hours. The wood handled blade and extra chunky treads mean business.
Thanks for the memories Jim

Economic Loss Doctrine Symposium Nov. 9
Wayne State University Law School and the law firm of Miller Canfield are sponsoring a symposium on the economic loss doctrine on Thursday, November 9, 2006.
The event begins with a coffee reception at 3:30 pm. The keynote address and panel discussions will begin at 4 pm and the closing reception will be at 6:30 pm in the Spencer M. Partrich Auditorium at the Wayne State University Law School , 471 W. Palmer Street , Detroit . The event is free and open to the public.
Speakers will include Vincent Wellman, professor of law at WSU; Judges Gerald Rosen and Timothy Connors; Professor James J. White; and attorneys Gregory L. Curtner, Rivka Schochet, and John Trentacosta.
Professor Wellman will deliver the keynote address. "We are approaching the 15-year anniversary of the Michigan Supreme Court's decision in Neibarger v. Universal Cooperatives, Inc. , which adopted the economic loss doctrine, but there has been little discussion of the consequences," Wellman said. "I think the adoption of the doctrine, and its corresponding elimination of tort remedies for various kinds of claims for defective products is an important development," he said, "and it deserves examination."
Wellman organized the symposium because he felt there was too little discussion between the bench, the bar, and legal academics about developments in Michigan law. He noted two panels will discuss various applications of the doctrine as well as situations where there is no privity of contract, the boundary between tort law and contract, and the role of judges in developing and extending the doctrine.
Parking for the symposium is available for $3.50 in Structure #1, across from the Law School . For more information, please contact Robin Dortenzio at (313) 577-3934 or email her at email@example.com .

The Quality Difference
- Water soluble, non toxic form of iodine
- Does not contain sodium iodine or potassium iodine that may cause thyroid irritation
- No alcohol
The Importance of Iodine
Iodine is an essential mineral needed for the formation of thyroid hormone in the thyroid gland. Thyroid hormone is composed of four molecules of iodine and one molecule of the amino acid tyrosine. Scientific evidence clearly shows that a lack of iodine can cause changes to the thyroid gland directly leading to poor function of metabolism and immunity. Iodine deficiency promotes free radical damage in the thyroid gland, directly stressing the health of the gland.*
Iodine is also needed to block various toxins from binding to and accumulating in the thyroid gland (fluoride, perchlorate, goitrogens in food). Problems with chemicals affecting the thyroid gland have been known for decades. A Russian study showed that general environmental pollution (of which the U.S. has plenty in every metropolitan area) significantly aggravates iodine lack (meaning pollution displaces iodine in the human body).*
We have known for many years that free iodine is in high concentration in the ovaries and breast tissue, acting as a protective buffer to estrogen. Adequate tissue iodine helps guide estrogen into friendly pathways that support proper function of female sex hormones.* Iodine also assists the proper function of numerous hormone receptors throughout the body, thus helping hormones in general communicate more efficiently.* The rate that any hormone is formed is governed by thyroid hormone. Thus, thyroid nutrition like Thyroid Helper® and Iosol Iodine contribute to the formation of testosterone. In women this supports healthy sex drive. In men, testosterone is vital to function.*
Iodine is essential for brain function and intelligence. Since 2001 there have been numerous studies showing the importance of iodine during pregnancy, not only to help the mother's thyroid work better, but specifically for the cognitive and neurological development of the child.*
The Iosol Iodine Quality Difference
Iosol Iodine is a proprietary iodine formulation that has been in widespread use since 1945. I am often asked what the difference is between this iodine supplement and others, and many have asked what the source of the iodine is that is used in Iosol.
Iosol Iodine is in my opinion the premier iodine supplement on the market today. This is because of the superior water solubility of the iodine. This feature makes free iodide readily available for your body to use.
There are two sources of iodine in the Iosol formulation. One is from kelp. Iodine in kelp is naturally in the form of potassium iodide. However, potassium iodide is not very soluble in water and may be difficult for your body to easily use. For example, if you get liquid potassium iodide on your clothes it causes a permanent stain of red. If you get Iosol Iodine on your clothes the red will evaporate out in a few minutes or readily come out with washing. In fact, potassium iodide has been shown to congest the thyroid gland when taken in high doses and is how Hashimotos thyroiditis was first discovered (Japanese citizens consuming too many sea vegetables). This is why I don't use potassium iodide.
During the production of Iosol, iodine is extracted from kelp and made into pure iodine crystals. This is not potassium iodide, rather it is an unbound form of iodine.
The second form of iodine used is ammonium iodide, a form that readily dissolves in water. These two forms of iodine are combined in a proprietary manner in a base of vegetable glycerin.
Ammonium iodide is a combination of the mineral iodine and ammonium (NH4). This is a synthesized compound, not derived from a food source. It has superior bioavailability as the iodine readily disassociates from the ammonium upon exposure to water, producing a free iodide ion exactly what your body would like to use in metabolism.
Some people think that ammonium (NH4) sounds like some sort of toxin, compared to potassium or sodium iodide. This is far from the case. As different from ammonium, ammonia (NH3) is an irritant gas with a pungent odor. Anhydrous ammonia (meaning no water in the ammonia) is the third most synthesized chemical in the U.S., with one-third of it used by the farming industry as fertilizer and animal feed. The ability to fix nitrogen in some type of compound is vital to the growth of plants and crops. Many household cleaning products use ammonia in the form of NH3 plus water.
On the other hand, ammonium is a primary source of nitrogen for humans. It is involved in many cellular chemistry reactions necessary for health. As dietary protein is metabolized ammonium is produced. The liver converts any extra ammonium to urea, which is easily cleared through the urea cycle. The amount of ammonium in Iosol can act as a nutrient in normal cell metabolism or it can readily be cleared by the liver. The amount of ammonium in a dose of Iosol is trivial compared to the amount of ammonium produced in routine protein metabolism.
The bottom line is that Iosol Iodine is a very safe and effective form of iodine to use as a dietary supplement. In my experience over the past twenty years it has routinely produced outstanding results.
What is the dose of Iosol Iodine?
The most commonly used dose of Iosol Iodine is 1 drop of the preparation in a few ounces of water, taken once a day. Each drop has 1.8 mg of iodine or 1200% of the governments recommended daily value. If you would like to get only 100% of the daily value then take 1 tsp of a mixture of 1 drop of Iosol Iodine in 2 ounces of water; however, most people like taking more than this.
Adequate iodine tends to keep your head more awake during the day, helps support your energy level, and helps you warm up (if you are cold).* Many people take 1-5 drops of Iosol Iodine per day, using enough to feel warmer and more energetic. While this can be taken all at once in the morning, some like to split the dose and take some in the afternoon as well.
Some people find that taking iodine every day really helps to support metabolism. Others find that they only need to take it once or twice a week. Regardless of the dose used or frequency of the dose, the goal is to notice energy support. And if you are too cold, another goal is to warm up. Iosol Iodine is one of the best nutrients for natural thyroid support, especially helping those who are cold to warm up and get on track.*
Caution: We have received numerous reports of people taking 25 mg to 50 mg of potassium iodide-containing supplements each day, typically in the form of Lugols or Iodoral. I do not support the use of this protocol as the form of iodine used is inferior and the chance of congesting the thyroid with insoluble potassium iodide is elevated - a needless risk to take for any person trying to improve their health. I have never had any trouble helping people balance thyroid function on far less iodine intake, especially when synergistic thyroid support nutrition is used.
Directions: Typical dose is 1-5 drops per day, mixed in a small amount of water. Use enough to help warm up and sustain energy. Each drop of Iosol Iodine contains 1.83 mg of iodine.

Roy from KY asks:
Every time I get used to Facebook's interface and features, they go and change it on me again! Can I get an update on the newer stuff, please?
It's already hard enough to keep up with all these social networking sites, let alone when they are updated every couple of months! Not to worry, though – I am here to help you navigate you on your way to use the new Facebook layout with no problems! After this tutorial, you will be aware of all the new changes that have been made to today's most popular social networking site, and you'll be able to keep in contact with the world in new and exciting ways!
Let's start with the basics: if you do not already have a Facebook account or log-in, please refer to the first original Facebook tutorial (Facebook Tutorial 1) to set up an account for yourself and get started.
When you first sign in, Facebook automatically presents you with your homepage, or "News Feed," which is your way to keep up with the "Most Recent" or "Top News" of the day. These two options are located on the top right-hand corner of the page. "Top News" displays any status updates, photo uploads, posts, or comments from the last 24 hours that are displayed in a random order on your "News Feed." If you click on the down-arrow located next to "Most Recent," a drop-down menu is presented in which you can specifically choose what you want to see on your "News Feed," whether that be the most recent comments, status updates, photo uploads, etc. You can even select "Edit Options," if you want to modify your page to see updates from specific friends or friends lists.
On your homepage, which is the same thing as your "News Feed" page, you can use the left-hand panel to edit your profile or navigate your way around the most commonly used features of Facebook. Let's start with "Edit My Profile," which is your first option displayed right under your name. Here you can edit your basic info, profile picture, add friends/family or relationship statuses, and any other info you want to be displayed on your profile page.
Click on the "facebook" icon displayed in the top left-hand corner to bring you back to your homepage. Also displayed in the left-hand column are options on what else you can view besides the "News Feed." This can be your Messages (inbox and chat messages), Events, Friends, as well as several other options. Below all of this, it will also say whether or not you are "online" or "offline" to chat. The new Facebook layout comes with completely new chat features. If it says, "You are currently offline. To chat with your friends, go online," click on the worlds "go online" highlighted in blue.
Once you click on this, a chat box will open on the right-hand side of your page. If there is a green circle next to the friend's name, it means that this user is online and available to chat. If there is nothing next to the name, it means the user is offline but you can still send them an offline message which he or she will later receive in their inbox.
On the bottom of the page, below the list of friends' names in your chat box, there is a search bar and two icons. You can use the search bar if you want to enter in a friend's name and see if he or she is online. Next to the search bar is an icon that looks like a tiny wheel (see image below). If you click on this, you can check or un-check your availability to chat and/or enable or disable your chat sounds. The button next to that, which looks like a bracket and a side arrow, will hide your sidebar view of your chat.

Memories of Abberley
Mr Maude
Please let me know if you remember Mr Maude who lived at the Elms for many years. I was told at the time he had been twice Lord Mayor of London. Many thanks in anticipation of a reply. Jayne
Manor Arms (Little Country Pub)
I was brought up in the 70's living in the gorgeous local village pub. I have fond memories playing on my bike in the car park, riding a pony to the village school and running around the grounds of the Saxon church. Not to mention my sleep walking around the village! My mom and dad, Margaret and Tony, loved it ...Read full memory

Theyskens' Theory Spring 2013
There's definitely a short hair trend developing for spring 2013. It's around chin-length, choppy, and tousled, and is happening on and off the runway (see Lily Kwong, Karen Elson, and Margherita Missoni's recent transformations). Olivier Theyskens put his own slant on it by tinting models' locks light blue and auburn and dousing them in product to appear drenched. It was one of the best displays of the look we've seen thus far.
So what does it have to do with the clothes? Well, in the instance of Theyskens' Theory, the girls' carefully unkempt beauty loosened up the structured, elegant silhouettes. Theyskens has graduated from the low-slung pant, razor-sharp jacket combination that was his calling card during the early part of his tenure (at least on the runway, pre-collections naturally still hem a bit closer to those best sellers). Lately, he's been using fall and spring to showcase his interest in tailoring. That was evident this season from his first exit: a sober double-breasted black pantsuit. It was followed by voluminous cotton pants worn with heavily beaded cocoon jackets, and sleeveless bubble dresses with smocking waists. There was also a light blue, sheer shirt dress with visible seams and subtly exaggerated hips.
Overall the color palette was pale and iridescent with a mix of ebony, a nod, Theyskens said, to the sea. "You have these beautiful organisms in this very dark environment," he explained. The ocean also prompted his use of fabrics and techniques by adding polyurethane to oversize coats (if that doesn't tell you something about what he thinks of the state of our ecosystem). However there were a lot of pearls, too, encrusting jackets and short shift dresses.
In all, this was a more mature collection, and the way Theyskens tells it, that was deliberate. "I was entertaining elegance and grace," he said. "Less of the girls, you know, and more of a projection."
But still, the hair. "I like that sort of fresh strong character that comes out of nowhere," he said. Could it also have to do with the fact that he recently lopped his own trademark locks? "I associate a lot of my work with how I feel," he said. "I was thinking of these outfits with hair chopped off."

Two of my friends picked up bikes this past week to ride the street. It is great to have some of my life long friends getting into the hobby with me. The one friend of mine actually was the first person I rode with when I was 13. And i'm really happy as they have been listening to my advice and both purchased almost full gear, they just need boots. That puts a smile on my face more then anything knowing they are believing in the ATGATT mantra. One of the new bikes though isn't like the others!! Meet the farm bear and his new ride!
What do you think of these things? I rode it a bit and it's like riding a snowmobile, it is a lot of fun. It has it's place in the community in my opinion and I can't wait to go on some longer trips with the guy. Two wheels though will forever be my speed.

The 4th MarmalAshes are on this Saturday
January 31, 2014 , 11:57 AM by Dominic Brine
The Australian Test cricketers gloriously claimed back their Ashes trophy this summer encouraged by Australian marmalade makers' three successive victories in the international MarmalAshes contest.
So now the Aussie marmalade makers are preparing for their fourth tilt at the MarmalAshes with the cream of the crop to be announced in Buninyong at the Marvellous Marmalade Fair Awards this Saturday at the Buninyong Town Hall from 1pm.
The best 12 marmalades selected will then be sent to Cumbria in the UK to compete against the Pom's best marmalades in March.
Russell Luckock is one of the Marmy Army who'll hand over this souvenir bat signed by former English captain Andrew Strauss in 2011, to the Buninyong Historical Society on Sunday.

Just yesterday we reported on how strong of a market India was for Windows Phone. The OS has been the number two in the country for three consecutive quarters now, beating out BlackBerry and the iPhone. Part of that success has been the range of devices released, especially from Nokia. The other piece of the puzzle is the ability for Windows Phone to pick up major apps that consumers are looking for.
Today, two big apps have landed for Windows Phone users in that region: Union Bank of India and KBC, which is better known as 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?' to English audiences.

Annual Labour Force Statistics
• To provide relevant, reliable annual labour force statistics covering long time series for internal OECD users (in particular, the Economics Department), member country government agencies and other external users in academic institutions and private enterprise.
Objectives and outputs
• The main objective is to provide long time series for key annual statistics on population, labour force, employment and unemployment. This database contains annual statistics for OECD member countries comprising: population, total employment, unemployment, civilian employment by sectors, part-time employment. Published output also includes comparative tables for the main components of the labour force.
• Data are available for all OECD member countries and for OECD-Total, Euro area and European Union, Brazil, Russian Federation and South Africa. Time series cover 20 years for most countries. The long time-series for the data presented facilitate identification of structural changes in labour force over time.
• Published output are also accompanied by target OECD and ILO international statistical standards (definitions, etc) and summary methodological information (national definitions, coverage, collection, calculation, series breaks, sources) used by individual OECD member countries in the compilation of the statistics published in the ALFS and available in OECD.stat.
Non-member countries involved in the activity
• South Africa
• Annual Labour Force Statistics
Main Developments for 2013
General aspects
• Organise the download of data from Eurostat
Data collection
• Targeted countries slow at responding to the annual questionnaire will be requested to speed up their response.
Infra-annual Labour Force Statistics
• To provide relevant, reliable key infra-annual labour force statistics such as employment and unemployment (levels, rates) for internal OECD users, member country government agencies and other external users in academic institutions and private enterprise.
Objectives and outputs
• The main objective is to provide long time series for key infra-annual labour statistics as well as timely short-term indicators on the labour force such as employment and unemployment. Data are disseminated in the OECD Main Economic Indicators (MEI) database, a monthly press release on harmonised unemployment and on OECD.Stat.
• The MEI database contains monthly, quarterly and annual indicators on employment, unemployment, labour compensation and for some countries indicators on vacancies, hours worked, labour disputes, etc.
• Data are available for all OECD member countries and for key series (employment, unemployment, hourly earnings) aggregates for OECD-Total, Major seven, OECD-Europe, EU27 and Euro area and for selected non-member countries.
• In the MEI series are accompanied by summary metadata outlining key concepts, coverage, etc. Published output are also accompanied by target OECD and ILO international statistical standards (definitions, etc) and summary methodological information (national definitions, coverage, collection, calculation, series breaks, sources) used by individual OECD member countries in data compilation.
Non-member countries involved in the activity
• Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Russian Federation, Slovenia Former, South Africa
Main Developments for 2013
General aspects
• During 2013 it is intended that the quarterly employment statistical release will be developed to include a greater analytical component.
Data collection
• Small number of countries slow at responding to the annual questionnaire will be requested to speed up their response. The collection of further data and metadata for NMEs, in particular, China and India.
Labour Market Statistics
• To produce a comprehensive set of statistics to monitor labour market developments in OECD countries, while enhancing their international comparability.
• To monitor the current jobs crisis and subsequent jobs recovery.
• To provide statistical information to undertake labour market analyses and policy formulation to be discussed at international meetings on labour policies.
• To provide background information for preparatory work for international statistical guidelines.
Objectives and outputs
• Regular collection, production and dissemination of labour statistics on labour market outcomes and performance (i.e. earnings levels, earnings distribution, etc.) and institutional variables (i.e. minimum wages, stock of participants and expenditure on labour market programmes - LMP data, EPL index, trade union membership, collective bargaining coverage, etc.) to serve as an analytical basis for labour market analysis.
• Data are used to produce the statistical annex of the Employment Outlook and the internal and external on-line Labour Force Statistics database stored on OECD.Stat (Key Employment Statistics and www.oecd.org/els/employment/data).
• Some of the data series are reported in the OECD Main Economic Indicators database (http://stats.oecd.org/index.aspx) and in the OECD Annual Labour Force Statistics publication.
Non-member countries involved in the activity
• Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Russian Federation, South Africa
• Labour Market Statistics
Main Developments for 2013
General aspects
• The expansion of the LFS database will gain momentum to improve country coverage and comparability regarding job tenure, hours worked, minimum wages and wage earnings data and to compile data in the area of youth and workforce ageing, broader measures of unemployment, etc.
• Time permitting a closer look at statistics to characterize informal employment will be attempted based on existing international guidelines on this subject.
• Work underway to consolidate earnings related statistics and to improve their comparability. A data assessment report has been provided to the EC regarding the comparability of earnings data reported in the OECD Earnings Distribution database.
• Continuation of the assessment of annual working time statistics to improve their international comparability with the aim of publishing of comparable estimates on annual hours actually worked per employed person in the statistical annex of the Employment Outlook.
• Revisions of metadata as appropriate on labour market statistics on OECD.Stat for internal and external web based dissemination.
Unit Labour Costs
• To maintain and expand the OECD System of Unit Labour Cost and Related Indicators, which brings together a wide range of data sources for all OECD member countries. A set of internationally comparable quarterly unit labour cost (ULC) indexes for eight economic activities (ULC) indexes are produced together with annual series for ULC, Labour productivity, Labour Compensation (including PPP adjusted), Labour Income shares and Exchange rate adjusted ULC.
• In addition, early estimates of quarterly ULCs are produced at t+75 (as a target) and disseminated via a media release.
• At the same time, labour compensation statistics are updated an on-going basis every month, as an input to the MEI publications.
• The quarterly ULCs provide the inputs to the Economics Department for production of their real effective exchange rates competitiveness indicators.
Objectives and outputs
• The key objectives of 2012 were to review the quality and comparability of established production system. Early estimates of quarterly (EEQ) ULCs were developed which improve the timeliness, comparability with those produced by ECB, and analytical capacity of the existing ULCs. The EEQ ULCs are compiled indirect method which means that seasonally adjusted (SA) ULCs are compiled from SA component series collected from NSOs as much as possible. At the same time, ULC media release is revised. In addition, annual data was prepared for publication in the OECD Factbook 2013 and OECD Compendium of Productivity Indicators 2012.
Non-member countries involved in the activity
• Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Cyprus, Lithuania, Malta, Russian Federation, South Africa
Main Developments for 2013
General aspects
• Major tasks in 2013 will consist in enhancing the quality of ULCs and harmonise ULCs with other products within and outside the OECD (data, methodology, etc.). Tasks will be:
- Review possibility to harmonise methodologies with other products within the OECD, e.g. productivity database; reflect on changes regarding new member countries, data, classifications into OECD ULCs.
- Investigate possibility to develop new ULC data (results can be summarised in writing if possible): Accession country, i.e. Russian Federation; Enhanced engagement countries and non-OECD G20 countries (i.e. Saudi Arabia and Argentina).
- Draft notes and overview documents on: key issues in the policy debate as concerns competitiveness (with particular view on quarterly ULC press release); areas where and ideas how the methodology of OECD ULC data can be improved (based on review of economic and statistical literature); ideas how to extend the ULC indicators to other competitiveness indicators (based on review of economic and statistical literature).
Data collection
• Major task will be the incorporation of the very large number of new series into the on-going MEI data collection processes.

About the Groundwater
Dependent Ecosystems Atlas
The National Atlas of Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems presents the current knowledge of groundwater dependent ecosystems across Australia. It displays ecological and hydrogeological information on known groundwater dependent ecosystems and ecosystems that potentially use groundwater. The Atlas is a tool to assist the consideration of ecosystem groundwater requirements in natural resource management, including water planning and environmental impact assessment.
The Atlas was funded by the Australian Government through the National Water Commission's Raising National Water Standards Program. It was developed by the National Water Commission, SKM, CSIRO, Cogha and the Bureau of Meteorology with input from every State and Territory as part of the Groundwater Action Plan. A key aim of the Groundwater Action Plan is to improve Australia's understanding of groundwater dependent ecosystems and facilitate how they are considered in water management.
Read the Information Sheet (169 KB) to find out more
The scope of the Atlas
The Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems Atlas is the most comprehensive inventory of the location and characteristics of groundwater dependent ecosystems for Australia. It incorporates multiple lines of scientific evidence including previous fieldwork, literature and mapping, and combines nation-wide layers of satellite remote sensing data. The physical characteristics that describe each ecosystem are also shown.
The Atlas shows ecosystems including springs, wetlands, rivers and vegetation that interact with:
- the subsurface presence of groundwater, or
- the surface expression of groundwater
Using the Atlas
Explanations are available in the FAQs and methodology reports.

Hi Lucy,
I am a new DOS, promoted after only one year of teaching, and I moved cross country for the job, so I am in a new school, same company. I am getting rather nervous about the observations I have to do. Tomorrow I will be observing a teacher who has been in the ESL field for longer than I have been alive (literally). I know I need to offer some feedback, both positive and negative, the negative of course being in a constructive sense. Do you have any advice, tips, etc? We have a form we fill out during the observation, which helps me to focus on certain aspects of the class and the instructor.

REVIEW: Neighbors
Mac and Kelly are the average couple with a newborn baby. After throwing themselves headfirst into parenthood, they discover it has destroyed everything but that shadow of who they once were when they were single. That is, until a reminder in the form of a College fraternity moves into the house next door. Now the question rises up; can the cool and hip mommy and daddy keep their street cred when music blasts and curfews are squashed?
More importantly...do they want to? Befriending the frat seems like a done deal until the cool neighbors need to be the lame adults. Eventually the adults and Baby need to sleep, so when the police are called, the friendship is over, and the war has begun.
While the trailer for this movie feels very sophomoric, Neighbors also has a deeper side as parenthood and growing up get equal time. It actually threw me a little bit and ruined my personal pacing, but not in a totally horrible way. I enjoyed the extra relationship awkwardness as it was spiked with childish pranks and humor.
In the end, I did enjoy Neighbors. Though I'll admit some story lines and the full resolution were a bit weak. Luckily that can be paved over, especially if you're buying a ticket for Rogen's awkward nature or Efron's killer Abs.
Grade: C+

I was told that I am at least getting 20-35 new hives, I hope more, 50 would be grate. That way if I can get them really strong I can split them into 2 and have 100 next spring. I plan to get at least 50 new ones every spring and keep splitting untill I have at least a 1000. I want to reach this as soon as possible, bye
If you start as a new with 20 hives, they will escape to sky.
This HOBBY is going to pay it's own way if it takes every penny I have!!
Finman I know more about bees than meets the eye, my family has a VERY long line of bee keepers and we have records of it over 200 years old.
Just a couple words Ryan. Reading about keeping bees, and actually keeping them, are very different things.

Arsène Wenger believes the next three months are crucial for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's Euro 2012 hopes.
The young forward has been touted as a possibility for Fabio Capello's England squad despite only making his full Premier League debut last weekend against Manchester United.
Oxlade-Chamberlain has impressed in Stuart Pearce's Under-21 set-up this season and Wenger says only time will tell is he is ready for a bigger stage.
"The next three months will tell you that [if he is ready]," said the Frenchman. "We live in a world of immediacy.
"I would not have expected him to be so mature in September because he still looked like a boy. Now suddenly he looks like he can take pressure and that he has the personality to produce under pressure.
"But he has only really played one game at the top so let's see how well he does. I do not want to rule it out because it should not be that you cannot play because you are 18 years old. But I do not want to say after one game that he absolutely has to go [to Euro 2012].
"At 17 Walcott went to the World Cup but he did not play. But Theo had not played in the Premier League when he went to the World Cup so it would not be the same."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

... In case our right wing bee ks were too busy learning physics from Fox News, you may have missed our beloved fellow American (and fellow Michigander) Michael Moore on the Piers Morgan show the other night...
All of the land mass South of the Ohio River and East of Oklahoma is completely unsuitable for generating wind energy in any significant or commercial amount.
The nice thing about coal, natural gas…..is the fuels… can be easily transported to the area needing energy generation. Once delivered these fuels can be stockpiled or stored on sight until the utility customers needs the electricity.
There is NO renewable energy source other than hydro-electric energy that is capable of coming on line in a quick or timely fashion to relieve grid overload or to meet demand.
The hilarious thing about this make believe problem the right wing beeks want to dump a bunch of money into is this: The capacity of the grid is really only a big

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by chipso1, Mar 30, 2011.
This same press release is on the USFS site: http://www.usfsa.org/Story.asp?id=45955&type=media
Best wishes to Alexe!
I think this is a great step in the right direction for her. I'm excited to see if Yuka and Jason can work their magic on her.
Hooray! It just wasn't working for her in Colorado Springs anymore, and better to try somewhere else than to give up (possibly prematurely).
She looked okay in practices -- it was the competitions when she just fell apart. Maybe Sato & Dungjen can help her get her head back. They certainly have made a difference with Czisny.
Good move for Alexe. I wish Joshua Farris would do the same.
Wow, so far Tom Z has had two skaters to leave for Jason and Yuka. Agnes needs to be next...
Fabulous idea for Alexe! Broke my heart to see her so sad at 09 SA and Nats this year...
Her practices at Nationals didn't go well at all.
I'm surprised that she's staying on, as she's become quite tall for a skater. I wish her well.
It looks like Abbott started a trend. Sato & Dunjen are getting quite popular.
Even if it doesn't work out as well as Gilles plans, I think more skaters, especially those in congested environments, need to take a chance on "lesser-known" coaches rather than trying to go to where the swarm is.
This is a great move for her. I like her and her skating and hope this works out.
That's what i thought when I saw this thread, why not Agnes???
Agnes just got to Tom, and frankly, is doing well under him despite how posters here may complain about him. I can't see her leaving at this point.
So long as Yuka doesn't make her skate to "Hatful of Stars"....
I'm glad she has decided to make a change (it was needed after her dismal outing this season IMO), but I really think she'll remain a non-contender at this point.
I'm very happy for her! Hope she can work her way back into the top next year.
So where is she going to college? Is MSU or UMich?
We'll have to begin "Free Flatt" & "Free Zawadsky" banners.
Well, the Gilles family certainly has unlimited funds. I wonder if Piper will actually find a new partner and make another go at it.
I agree with all who've said they wish it was Agnes.
Alexe has really seemed to struggle since she moved up from juniors, so I hope this move will allow her to realize her potential.
Piper has moved to East West Ice Palace in Artesia, CA, I think. She's listed as a staff coach there. Is she still competing?
Good for Alexe. It may be too late, but we'll see.
Agnes should be heading to Yuka & Jason, too. It's not too late for her.
This is very good news. I really hope it helps and think there is a good chance it will. Nice to see her continuing. Best of luck to Alexe!
Does she mention college? I didn't see any mention of it in the article, but maybe I missed it. However, MSU is an hour and a half from Bloomfield Hills. If she were to go to College, there are many closer options.
I'm happy for Alexe. I think she definitely COULD be amazing, and Yuka and Jason would be awesome for her.
As for college, I hope she plans on doing something.
Actually, I think that Tom Z isn't so bad for Agnes, so I'm not rushing to encourage her to move. Actually, this is better for her and for Joshua Farris-the other skaters seem to be clearing out.
I'd be shocked if Joshua stayed with Tom Z after this year's nationals.
Good for her. I think she has a lot of talent and her jumps are gorgeous when she lands them. Hopefully Yuka and Jason will help her realize her potential like they did with Czisny.
Farris has already left Tom Z.
