The lag between temperature and CO2. (Gore's got it right.)
When I give talks about climate change, the question that comes up most frequently is this: "Doesn't the relationship between CO2 and temperature in the ice core record show that temperature drives CO2, not the other way round?"
On the face of it, it sounds like a reasonable question. It is no surprise that it comes up because it is one of the most popular claims made by the global warming deniers. It got a particularly high profile airing a couple of weeks ago, when congressman Joe Barton brought it up to try to discredit Al Gore's congressional testimony. Barton said:
- In your movie, you display a timeline of temperature and compared to CO2 levels over a 600,000-year period as reconstructed from ice core samples. You indicate that this is conclusive proof of the link of increased CO2 emissions and global warming. A closer examination of these facts reveals something entirely different. I have an article from Science magazine which I will put into the record at the appropriate time that explains that historically, a rise in CO2 concentrations did not precede a rise in temperatures, but actually lagged temperature by 200 to 1,000 years. CO2 levels went up after the temperature rose. The temperature appears to drive CO2, not vice versa. On this point, Mr. Vice President, you're not just off a little. You're totally wrong.
Of course, those who've been paying attention will recognize that Gore is not wrong at all. This subject has been very well addressed in numerous places. Indeed, guest contributor Jeff Severinghaus addressed this in one of our very first RealClimate posts, way back in 2004. Still, the question does keep coming up, and Jeff recently received a letter asking about this. His exchange with the letter writer is reproduced in full at the end of this post. Below is my own take on the subject.
First of all, saying "historically" is misleading, because Barton is actually talking about CO2 changes on very long (glacial-interglacial) timescales. On historical timescales, CO2 has definitely led, not lagged, temperature. But in any case, it doesn't really matter for the problem at hand (global warming). We know why CO2 is increasing now, and the direct radiative effects of CO2 on climate have been known for more than 100 years. In the absence of human intervention CO2 does rise and fall over time, due to exchanges of carbon among the biosphere, atmosphere, and ocean and, on the very longest timescales, the lithosphere (i.e. rocks, oil reservoirs, coal, carbonate rocks). The rates of those exchanges are now being completely overwhelmed by the rate at which we are extracting carbon from the latter set of reservoirs and converting it to atmospheric CO2. No discovery made with ice cores is going to change those basic facts.
Second, the idea that there might be a lag of CO2 concentrations behind temperature change (during glacial-interglacial climate changes) is hardly new to the climate science community. Indeed, Claude Lorius, Jim Hansen and others essentially predicted this finding fully 17 years ago, in a landmark paper that addressed the cause of temperature change observed in Antarctic ice core records, well before the data showed that CO2 might lag temperature. In that paper (Lorius et al., 1990), they say that:
- changes in the CO2 and CH4 content have played a significant part in the glacial-interglacial climate changes by amplifying, together with the growth and decay of the Northern Hemisphere ice sheets, the relatively weak orbital forcing

Comments about oreilly Instant Flask Web Development:
(Full disclosure, I received a copy of Instant Flask Web Development for free for review purposes.)I love the "Instant" series from Packt. I like the no nonsense jump in approach that allows you to tackle a sometimes complex topic within a few steps.This book is a great example of what the Instant series does right, you are thrown in with detailed, well explained examples and offered a complete mini project that you could easily tweak into your own fully functioning app.The author is a core contributor to the Flask project, and it shows as he helps you to understand each step and points you to critical resources. His writing style is familiar and not overly technical with a pleasant tone throughout.If you know your way about Python and want to start web development with an easy to learn framework then this is a great starter. I would definitely recommend it to others.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

DNA is short for deoxyribonucleic (dee-ox-ee-rye-bo-new-clay-ick) acid. (Try saying that 3 times real fast!) It is the genetic blueprint, or recipe, for making all living things. Almost every cell in your body contains DNA and all the information needed to make you what you are, from the way you look to which hand you write with.
DNA is shaped like a long ladder that's twisted into a spiral. If all the DNA in just one of your cells was unpacked and stretched out straight, it would be two yards long. Since you have about five trillion (5,000,000,000,000) cells in your body, the total length of DNA packed into you would stretch from here to the sun and back 30 times!
DNA is wound and coiled into structures called chromosomes (crow-mo-somes). In animals, plants, fungi and protists, these chromosomes are enclosed in a compartment within their cells called a nucleus (new-klee-us). In bacteria and archaea, the chromosome is not enclosed in a nucleus and floats free in their cytoplasm (sigh-toe-plazm), the fluid inside cells.
The sides of the DNA ladder are long chains of sugars and phosphates (fahs-fates). The rungs of the ladder are four chemical bases: adenine (add-n-een), guanine (gwa-neen), cytosine (sigh-tuh-seen) and thymine (thigh-meen). Adenine (A) always pairs with thymine (T) and guanine (G) always pairs with cytosine (C).
It's the sequence of these bases that makes up the genetic code or blueprint that determines all of the traits of living things. It may be hard to believe at first—how can things as different as grasshoppers and elephants be built from the arrangement of just four chemical bases?
The genetic code is like a musical score. In music, the instructions for all songs and tunes are created from just eight different notes. These eight notes have been arranged and rearranged in a wide variety of combinations to create the scores for every piece of music ever produced, from a Beethoven symphony to a Beastie Boys rap.
Similarly, the four chemical bases of DNA have been arranged and rearranged in numerous combinations to create the scores, or genomes (gee-nomes), of almost every creature that has ever lived.
Some viruses don't have DNA. Instead, their genetic blueprint is RNA, or ribonucleic (rye-boh-new-clay-ick) acid.
RNA looks like one half of the DNA ladder. It has a single long chain of sugars and phosphates and four chemical bases, though not in pairs. Instead of thymine, RNA has uracil (your-uh-sill) (U).
When RNA viruses infect cells, they first have to use the host cell's machinery to turn their RNA into DNA before they can begin reproducing.

Stalking is Hilarious on Parks and Recreation
One of many qualities I love about Parks and Recreation is its complete lack of rape jokes. It's a safe space from the kinds of quips about sexual assault that pepper other favorites of mine, 30 Rock and The Office. Though Aziz Ansari has been known to tell a rape joke or two in his solo act, Tom Haverford's sleaziness is mostly benign. Sex is not made into a big production, and consensuality is an assumed responsibility of all the characters.
But not all of performances of romance on Parks and Rec are consensual; a major second-season plotline showed Andy Dwyer intruding on Ann Perkins in deeply personal and problematic ways. Andy's stalking, harassment, and unwelcome attention directed at an ex are not taken seriously, as a thing that hurts people, particularly women. After Ann dumped him and kicked him out of her house for taking advantage of her, he did not find another place to live and respect her distance. No, he persisted in bugging and (by some definitions) stalking her: living outside her house in a pit, showing up naked at her house, and harassing her and her new boyfriend.
I hate to write this, because I love Andy. I think that Chris Pratt may actually be the funniest person on the show; his line readings and facial expressions never fail to crack me up. He is generally a very sweet and well-meaning character, and I like that someone who is explicitly not traditionally smart is shown to be of great value. I love the growth of consideration in his character. I love him and April. I just love him.*
*I did not love the cissexist gag with him in the first episode of this season, but I will talk about that a little later.
But I do not love the way that he treats Ann and her new boyfriend Mark after she dumps him, nor do I love the way that the show frames his actions as cute, affectionate, and distinctly nonthreatening. Andy's continued harassment and monitoring of Ann is not violent, but a big man following someone around and refusing to leave a former partner in peace carries the baggage of domestic violence; just because Andy is a "nice guy" does not mean that he cannot be violent. This refusal to take Andy's creepy and unwanted attention as a seriously flawed pattern of entitled behavior that goes beyond his goofy, ditzy personality reflects a cultural desire to re-frame a scary and dangerous pattern of behavior disproportionately targeted at women as an affectionate and romantic way of showing concern.
Stalking and other harassment through unwanted contact is not a joke only in Parks and Rec; indeed, stalking is rarely taken as seriously as it actually is. Stalking is actually a criminal offense that describes a campaign of fear, of forced unwanted contact or constant watching of someone's activities. It is a very real violation of a person's sense of safety and privacy, and it happens to at least eight percent of all women in the US - but it's vastly underreported. It is not a cute thing to do, and it is not something that everyone participates in, but you wouldn't know that from stalking behavior's defanging in online culture and romanticizing in popular media from Say Anything to Twilight. This form of abuse is, like many other, framed as either anonymous online attention or uptight bitches rejecting the honest appreciation of men.
Ann's concerns about Andy are frequently delegitimized. In the episode "Beauty Pageant", where Ann discovers Andy's home in the pit right outside her house* with her new boyfriend Mark Brandanowitz, he not only laughs it off, he informs her that he invaded her privacy by peeking in her medicine cabinet, and then pressures her to invite Andy into her home to share dinner. This is framed as Mark showing compassion for Andy rather than completely disregarding Ann's feelings, and it's typical of the tone of that arc; another episode, Kaboom, features Andy misunderstanding a text from Ann and showing up naked at her house - because flashing unfriendly ex-girlfriends is totally charming and harmless.
*This storyline also has some classism issues, given that homelessness is treated as a joke.
Andy's harassment of Ann continues after he moves out of the pit and gets a job at City Hall, and coincides with Tom Haverford's ongoing and frequently rejected advances. Andy begins to pester not just Ann but her new boyfriend Mark in an obnoxious fashion; trying to "trick" her into dating him by winning a game of pool against Mark or to humiliate him by mentioning STI medication that he pretends Mark requested from the shoeshine stand (absurd but also ableist). Eventually, after a few talking-tos from Mark, he desists and refocuses his attention on April, whom he has treated with a great deal of respect and deference. Only when a man becomes involved in and begins protesting this unwanted attention does Andy stop; he sees no reason to desist in harassing Ann before Mark steps in. Ann, the target of this unwanted attention, goes completely unheard by her friends unless she is backed up by a man. She even responds to his advances belatedly, kissing him at the end of the season. In this way, Parks and Rec validates his unwanted attention and makes it seem like it was actually wanted after all.
The show is not exactly endorsing Andy's actions; by my standards of critical humor, some instances of this pass. Mark occasionally recognizes his actions as bad, but they are only bad insofar as they are an annoyance to him. Ann's reactions to Andy, though, are never validated; they are framed as unreasonable or ignored by characters who are not Andy. Occasionally Leslie expresses shock or mild concern, but being a rather self-centered character, Ms. Knope usually then turns the conversation back to herself - she doesn't really hear Ann's concerns when she hires Andy for a dinner party. Other jokes make it clear that Andy is being a doofus, thought they do not meet my critical standards linked above; in "Beauty Pageant", he says that "there's all kind of creepy people in this neighborhood"; though his action is not reinforced by others as uncool, it's still a tacit recognition of his unsavory behavior.
However, I don't find mild and barely-expressed disapproval to be quite enough in this case. This joke runs throughout most of the (stellar) second season, and it is almost never taken seriously. When Leslie Knope engages in her own creepy and intrusive behavior by photographing and surveilling Mark and Ann on a date, she comes close to facing criminal charges, and she never does it again. But unlike Leslie, Andy never faces any kind of real critique or danger because of his actions. No one calls him out other than Ann, and no one backs her up when she calls him out.
No, Andy's entitled attitude towards Ann is worse than Parks and Rec wants it to be. His pattern of behavior reaffirms the often-romanticized image of a nice guy as one who doesn't respect clearly set boundaries; Andy's stalking is seen as affection rather than menace, as stupidity rather than disrespect. It's shown as annoying and silly and goofy, and that does not reflect Andy's serious violations against a woman he professes to care about. It's not rape, but it's part of the conditioning that creates rape culture - it suggests that women should see continued harassment and monitoring from ex-lovers as romantic rather than threatening, and that these actions are nothing to get really concerned about.
One or two of these jokes would not have phased me much, particularly given my liking for Andy. I would take it as more reflective of his benign and adolescent inconsideration than a reflection of how society frames unwanted contact from former romantic partners. As individual jokes, they suggest the growth of a stunted man stumbling on his way to some form of maturity. But taken as a pattern of unwelcome behavior that strongly resembles stalking, it looks like a man threatening his ex-lover to achieve that growth. Andy's behavior is not precisely evil, but the show's affectionate attitude towards the unwanted contact he forces on Ann and its framing of his behavior as endearing seems entirely too light an approach to a subject as fearsome, cruel and misogynist in practice as stalking.
I am thankful that Parks and Recreation has left this story behind in its third season, and I hope that this framing does not return. But this will always be a stain on Andy's character for me: a reminder that the nicest of guys can turn menacing on a dime, and a sign that even my favorite shows will trivialize serious issues and participate in a culture that denies women agency and privacy.

I was a "Nice Guy" as a teenager-- as warped as it is, I really believed that my feelings entitled me to affection from a specific person, regardless of how he felt. I thought I was the victim, that I was the noble unrequited lover and the object of my affection was just being cruel and heartless. It didn't help that my fucked-up viewpoint was reinforced by everything from modern pop culture to 400-year-old songs (seriously, read the lyrics to some English madrigals). The idea of "I want you; therefore you owe me love" is so ridiculous yet so commonplace. I know several young people (including my teenage self, if I had a time-travelling fax machine) who could benefit from reading this article as well as the geekfeminism article you linked to.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sending me back to watch these episodes again.ReplyDelete
I'm not sure what I think. The show clearly doesn't approve. Nor do I think they play it up very much as cute (we're not really rooting for them to get back together at any point). But maybe you're right that they don't take it seriously enough. It is interesting that they drop that plotline when they start to make Andy likeable (for his TRULY adorable romance with April).
I felt more uncomfortable with the way Louis CK's character found Leslie Knope's stalking endearing.
One aspect you didn't touch on was her stalking of Pikitis. What do you think of that? bothersome? or perhaps a number of factors make it less troubling (the law-and-order element as opposed to romance, the way the show frames it as absurd and inappropriate)
Where you at? Please post, I miss your wisdom! :)ReplyDelete
Thank-you for writing this. When I was in high-school, my female classmates and I were scorned and ridiculed by our peers for appearing even slightly annoyed at unwanted attention and remarks that crossed the line. We were encouraged to see this attention as sweet/funny, whether or not it embarrassed us or made us uncomfortable. Our own subjective feelings were never taken into account. "Crossing the line" was defined by objective criteria that had nothing to do with our voiced discomfort, unease, and fear.ReplyDelete
The behaviours listed in this article play into the same myths I was fed in school. I'm also disappointed that Ann's objections to andy's advances were depicted as comical frustration and overreaction.
That being said, Parks and Rec is my favourite television show. I cannot stress how truly refreshing it is to to see a series pass the Bechdel test, episode after episode. The things I love about Parks and Recreation far outweigh the things I hate, and make transgressions a little easier to forgive (but not ignore/forget/).

Arsène Wenger says he will be urging his team to avoid extra-time and penalties when they take on Bradford in Tuesday's Capital One Cup quarter-final.
Wenger's side advanced to the last eight of the tournament after fighting back from 4-0 down to eventually beat Reading 7-5 after 120 minutes at the Madejski Stadium.
The Arsenal manager is determined to progress after 90 minutes on Tuesday night, especially considering that Bradford have won their last seven straight shoot-outs and beat Wigan on penalties in the last round.
"We have to win the game in normal time, yes," Wenger told Arsenal Player.
"They [Bradford] have gained confidence in these types of competitions, and confidence plays a big part in that [winning shoot-outs]. Hopefully we won't need penalties."

I finished my blaster today. Here's two small pictures, I'll post more if there is anyone interested.
When I started thinking about the sling, I didn't want to leave it off like on most of the replicas I see, but I didn't just want to just glue it to the back either. I wanted it to look like the real deal. What I did was I bought a leather dog leash, then cut two notches in the stock of the gun on the top and bottom and epoxied the leash in the notches. Then I epoxied a strip of ABS plastic on the back to cover the notches and leash. I added some bondo and some sanding before painting and it all looks like one piece now. viola.
Now thats its all done I am very happy with it, it's missing a couple greebles, but it gets the job done.
What do you think? If anyone else has done a sling gun, I'd love to see some pics.
take care,
---------------------Original post 4-20-07------------------
So I lucked out. TDH vet AFettFullofDollars was gracious enough to sell me a PrePro Blaster kit he had in his possesion for basically a song. This was the only part of my PrePro costume I was really worried about getting, and I was elated to send him my money in exchange for this gem.
This is going to be my thread on buiding it.
Here it is. It's resin, its really rather nice. It's not 100% accurate to the original as its missing the trigger and some of the geebles on the original camera stabilizer. Its got the right shaped handle though (which is a problem I've seen with other kits and PrePro guns), and the details are nice and crisp. Its a little more cleaned up here then when I pulled it out of the box. Whoever had it before AFF$ was using some white filler
to fill the air bubbles. All and all it's very very nice, but needs some tlc.
Here's where you can see I drilled a small hole for the trigger. I found a rectangular button in my box of junk that was probably from some video game accesory, or old electronic toy or something. I sanded down the underside flat and sunk a piece of metal into it to allow it to be inserted into the gun.
Viola, its a little more accurate then it once was. Next up is another greeble that existed on the original, two little pill shaped pieces on the left side of the handgrip. Luckily I stumbled on another piece in my box of Junk that suits my needs. It was originally a backpack to a Stikfas Fireman action figure:
It needs alittle more shaping, there was a small square on each of the pill shaped pieces which I'm filling in with bondo, and then it needs to be mounted, but its the right size and it was there so I used it.
Here's a shot of the original for comparison:
Next up
is for the other side, there seems to be a lever of some sort and another pill shaped greeble on the stock, along with the sling itself...
I think I got a piece for the other pill, but nothing for the lever yet... But I'll find something.
Anyways thats it so far. Thanks for looking, and let me know what you think.

Namaste and all greetings to Buddhists
Sarnath and Bodhgaya have particular significance to all, and especially to Indian "culture", no matter what "faith" you follow among the religions that have birth in India. Today I only heard of the blasts in Bodhgaya, that two monks were injured, and that there were actually a series of nine blasts at the Mahabodhi Temple where also is found the tree underwhich the Buddha meditated.
I have no words to express my contempt and, though Buddhists will criticise me for saying, anger regarding this, which there is no doubt once again the instigators were Muslim fanatics.
It appears there was little damage to the holy site (thank goodness), but what sort of mind would engage in such an attack?
How can Buddhists expect good citizens to simply uphold ahimsa before such monsters? I have been to these holy places, and truly I know what your response will be to me. What is to be done? I know nothing.
In your service.

Green Bay Swimming & Diving Squads Fall Narrowly at UIC
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
CHICAGO (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - After spending Dec. 31-Jan. 9 in Venice, Fla., for their annual training trip, the Green Bay men's and women's swimming and diving teams returned to dual meet action on Saturday in Chicago against Horizon League foe UIC. The host Flames edged the Phoenix on both sides, winning 123-120 in the women's meet and 129-114 in the men's competition.
The meet came down to the final event on the women's side, where UIC took the 400-yard freestyle relay (3:32.93) to earn 11 first-place points and secure the team victory. In all, the Flames had a winner in nine of the meet's 13 women's events.
Junior Parker Wolf (Kohler, Wis.) paced the Phoenix women with a pair of individual wins, taking the 50 (24.50) and 100 (52.60) freestyle races. Also earning wins for Green Bay were senior Heather Bodin (Maple Grove, Minn.), who won the 200 IM in 2:08.94, and sophomore Dana Iverson (Kenosha, Wis.), who took the 200 backstroke in 2:09.53.
The Green Bay men had a winner in five of the 13 events, including a pair by senior Tyler Evans (Lodi, Wis.). Evans was a member of the winning 400 free relay squad (3:09.83) in the meet's final event, and also picked up a victory in the 200 free (1:45.16).
Senior Mitchell Spaeth (Fredonia, Wis.) had a strong performance on the 3-meter diving board, earning a first-place finish with a huge score of 309.60. Also securing wins for the Phoenix men were juniors Robert Wolf (Wind Lake, Wis.) in the 1000 free (9:53.81) and Brian Heiser (McFarland, Wis.) in the 200 backstroke (1:57.17).
Green Bay will host its annual intrasquad meet next Saturday at the Peter F. Dorschel Natatorium at 1 p.m. before returning to dual meet action the following weekend. The women's squad will welcome Youngstown State on Saturday, Jan. 26 at noon, while the men's team heads to Indianapolis to face Butler at noon on Sunday, Jan. 27.

Maybe Im wrong but I believe you can replace your queen if you think you have AHB and just breed it out of them.
>please let me know if Uhave had any AHB problemsI have had some bees from B. Weaver that went psycho on me. Totally unmanageable. I did not have any genetic testing done. I just requeened them all. All of them swarmed in August in a drought and all went psycho at the same time immediately afterwards.
I spent some time with Dee Lusby and her bees.She showed me how to determine how hot a hive is.I also bought two nucs from her good bees.All my bees are Feral some more twitchy than others.I found good Beekeeping techniques will keep most bees managable.kirko
So since we are talking about AHB, how far north have them gotten. I saw a map made in the 90's and it shows southern Oklahoma. Im in Coloado. Anyone know of any reports of AHB in Colorado.

CBS News again carried water for Bush Social Security plan

CBS Early Show anchor René Syler echoed the crisis rhetoric the Bush administration has adopted in its attempt sell the public on partially privatized Social Security. On January 5, Syler reported:
New details today about how President Bush plans to save Social Security. He's reportedly leaning toward allowing younger workers to invest $1,300 a year into private accounts. The rest would go into the current system.
President Bush's biography on the White House website indicates that he "is working to save" Social Security, and in recent presidential radio addresses (on December 11 and December 18) the president said Americans must "act to save it [Social Security]."
In adopting Bush's assertion that the program needs to be "saved," Syler ignored the overwhelming consensus that Social Security is not in "crisis," as the Bush administration claims. The Social Security Board of Trustees (of which four of six are Bush appointees) estimated in its 2004 Report of the Board of Trustees of the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance and Disability Insurance Trust Funds (OASDI) that Social Security "assets are projected to be exhausted in 2042," at which point, if left unchanged, "tax income would cover 73 percent of costs"; the report states that the system could still pay out 68 percent by 2078, as Media Matters for America has noted. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projected in June 2004 that Social Security "outlays are projected to begin exceeding revenues in 2019" but that "[t]he expected trust fund exhaustion date -- the year in which the trust fund balance (and thus the trust fund ratio) falls to zero -- is 2052 in CBO's projection."
On December 15, CBS Evening News inaccurately asserted that Social Security's projected insolvency in 2042 would result in "0 benefits."

One of the secrets to the ever-increasing popularity of Windows Server can be found in the simplicity its administration. The easy-to-use GUI, consistent set of tools, and wizards that walk you through complex tasks allow you to install, configure and maintain Windows servers without any knowledge of programming or scripting languages or learning complicated command-line syntax. It's possible, in fact, to accomplish about 90% of all Windows administration without ever opening a command prompt or running a script!But what about the other ten percent of the time? While it's true that most common, day-to-day tasks of Windows administration can be performed from the GUI, it's not always the best way, especially with complex or repetitive tasks Scripts and command-line tools often provide a faster, more flexible approach. Windows Server Hacks reveals techniques that go well beyond basic management tasks found in most handbooks to help busy system administrators master the more powerful features of Windows Server.Windows Server Hacks focuses on scripts and other tools that will make your life as an administrator much easier. These tools, or hacks--quick and dirty solutions to problems, or clever ways of doing things--were created by other professionals who've also had to struggle to find solutions to administering Windows environments. You'll save valuable time using their scripts, tools, tips, and advice. Plus, you can easily learn to customize the scripts to create even more powerful tools for your own, specific needs.The book includes secrets of the masters in such areas as Active Directory, User Management, Group Policy, DNS and DHCP, File and Print, IIS, performance and security. The hundred, industrial strength hacks in the book range from those that deal with general administration to more esoteric hacks in the areas of network deployment, patch management, and backup and recovery.No matter which Windows server you use--NT, IIS, 2000, or 2003--this book will put the knowledge and expertise of veteran system administrators and hackers to work for you. Windows Server Hacks will make your life easier while expanding your understanding of the capabilities of Windows Server.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The tool on the cover of Windows Server Hacks is a squeegee, which dates back to the Middle Ages, when fishermen used a wooden ancestor of this tool called a squilgee to scrape fish entrails off the decks of their boats. In Moby Dick , author Herman Melville writes of the whaler's tool known as a nipper, describing them as "leathern" squilgees cut from the tail of a whale. In Melville's story, not only does this precursor to the squeegee clean whale oil from the deck, but "by nameless blandishments, as of magic, allures along with it all impurities."The modern squeegee was born at the turn of the 20th century, when window washers began using a "Chicago squeegee." This heavy steel contraption used two rubber blades, held into place by 12 screws. While easier to use than implements made of wood and whale tails, it was far from perfect. One window cleaner, Ettore Steccone, set out to improve the squeegee, and in 1936 he patented a device called the New Deal. This squeegee, now called the Ettore, is still in wide use by professional window cleaners today. Though Steccone eventually lost his patent, the light weight and distinctive single slit-cut rubber blade of his tool served as a blueprint for all squeegees that followed. Philip Dangler was the production editor and proofreader for Windows Server Hacks . Brian Sawyer was the copyeditor. Marlowe Shaeffer, Mary Brady, and Darren Kelly provided quality control. Johnna VanHoose Dinse wrote the index.Hanna Dyer designed the cover of this book, based on a series design by Edie Freedman. The cover image of a squeegee is an original photgraph by Hanna Dyer. Emma Colby produced the cover layout with QuarkXPress 4.1 using Adobe's ITC Garamond and Helvetica Neue fonts.David Futato designed the interior layout. Andrew Savikas converted this book to FrameMaker 5.5.6 with a format conversion tool created by Erik Ray, Jason McIntosh, Neil Walls, and Mike Sierra that uses Perl and XML technologies. The text font is Linotype Birka; the heading font is Adobe Helvetica Neue Condensed; and the code font is LucasFont's TheSans Mono Condensed. The illustrations that appear in the book were produced by Robert Romano and Jessamyn Read using Macromedia FreeHand 9 and Adobe Photoshop 6. This colophon was written by Philip Dangler.

The Canisius baseball team opened the month of May with a doubleheader sweep at Quinnipiac University on Saturday afternoon, clinching a key series with the Bobcats (15-23, 10-5 MAAC). The Golden Griffins won 5-0 and 4-2 to improve to 30-14 on the season and 13-4 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, moving into a tie with Siena for first place in the conference standings.
Canisius extends its winning streak to eight games for the third time this season. The Golden Griffins also post a 30-win season for the sixth time in the last seven seasons.
Game One — Canisius 5, Quinnipiac 0
Junior Rohn Pierce went eight shutout innings, not allowing a run for the second consecutive start and for the fourth time this season. Pierce (9-2) allowed three hits and walked two while striking out five. Combined with a scoreless ninth inning from senior Mike Tolsma, the Griffs didn't allow Quinnipiac to get a baserunner past second base.
Canisius jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead in the top of the first, taking advantage of walks to sophomores Anthony Massicci and senior Brett Siddall. Junior Connor Panas had a two-out, two-RBI double to center to score both runners.
The Griffs extended their lead in the seventh with another two-out rally. Senior Jose Torralba went the opposite way with a one-out double down the right-field line, and senior Shane Zimmer worked a two-out walk. Siddall then laced a double to right to score Torralba and make it 3-0. Panas delivered another two-out, two-RBI hit with a single through the right side to put the Griffs up by five runs.
Panas went 4-fo-4, matching his career high in hits while driving in a career-high four runs. Torralba reached base three times with two doubles and a HBP out of the leadoff spot in the order.
Game Two – Canisius 4, Quinnipiac 2
Quinnipiac scored two runs in the bottom of the first off sophomore Alex Godzak, the only inning of 16 opportunities that the Bobcats would score runs in the doubleheader. The Bobcats continued to apply pressure early in the game by getting runners on base in each of the next three innings, but Quinnipiac couldn't cash in to extend its lead.
Senior Jesse Kelso hit his first homer of the season in the top of the second to cut the lead in half and end a 10-game streak without a home run by the Golden Griffins. That was the first home run allowed by a Quinnipiac pitcher in a conference game (121.2 innings). Quinnipiac starter Justin Thomas retired seven straight Canisius batters to maintain the one-run lead after four innings.
Canisius loaded the bases with one out in the fifth after Kelso was hit by a pitch and junior Mike Krische and Torralba worked walks. Thomas struck out Massicci and Zimmer flew out to left to leave the bases loaded.
Canisius broke through in the sixth as Siddall led off with a single and Panas hammered a home run to right field, his team-leading fourth homer of the year, to give the Griffs a 3-2 lead.
Quinnipiac used a leadoff single and sacrifice bunt to get the tying run into scoring position with one out in the sixth. Godzak would get a grounder to Massicci at short, who gunned down the lead runner at third for the second out of the inning. Quinnipiac wouldn't threaten the rest of the game as Godzak retired the final four batters.
Canisius added an insurance run in the seventh on a Quinnipiac error.
Godzak (7-3) threw his fourth complete game of the season, allowing two runs on six hits, walking two and striking out four to win for the third consecutive start.
Canisius and Quinnipiac will complete the three-game series on Sunday, with first pitch set for noon.
Notes: Prior to Saturday's second game, the Griffs hadn't hit a home run since April 13, against Siena… The shutout in game one was the fourth of the year by the Canisius pitching staff… Torralba extended his consecutive games streak of reaching base to 13 games… Prior to 2008 (first year with at least 30 wins), Canisius had never won 30 games in a season… Zimmer posted three walks on the day and now has 111 in his career, five short of tying the program record… Pierce's nine wins rank as the third-most in a season in program history and his 90.2 innings pitched are the eighth-most.

Laws, Regulations & Annotations
Property Taxes Law Guide – Revision 2012
Revenue and Taxation Code
Property Taxation
Part 2. Assessment
Chapter 3. Assessment Generally
Article 4. Property Escaping Assessment
Section 531.3
531.3. Escaped personal property; failure to report cost accurately. If the assessor requires an assessee to describe personal property in such detail as shows the cost thereof but the assessee omits to report the cost of the property accurately, notwithstanding that this information is available to the assessee, to the extent that this omission on the part of the assessee causes the assessor not to assess the property or to assess it at a lower valuation than he would enter upon the roll were the cost reported to him accurately, that portion of the property as to which the cost is unreported, in whole or in part, shall be assessed as required by law. If the omission is willful or fraudulent, the penalty and interest provided in Sections 504 and 506 shall be added to the additional assessment; otherwise only the interest provided in Section 506 shall be so added.
History.—Stats. 1969, p. 3164, in effect November 10, 1969, renumbered the section which was formerly numbered 507.
Inaccurate reporting not a prerequisite to escape assessment.—The fact that escape assessments are allowed under this section because of inaccurate reporting does not impliedly exclude escape assessments when cost has been correctly reported. Taxable property must be assessed and a previous underassessment cannot be sustained although all parties acted in good faith. Ex-Cell-O Corp. v. Alameda County, 32 Cal.App.3d 135.
Inaccurate report.—A standard cost accounting system utilizing variance accounts carrying certain expenses not recorded as costs comes under the provisions of this section and results in the addition of the interest provided by section 506 and disallowance of the section 219 inventory exemption for escape assessments made hereunder. Beckman Instruments, Inc. v. Orange County, 53 Cal.App.3d 767.

Blair & Jon
September 15
Boston, Massachusetts
Q & A with the Bride:
1. What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
When searching for a venue, there were two things we looked for: location and character. The library had both. Situated in the heart of Boston's Back Bay area, the Boston Public Library is literally across the street from five hotels, 10 minutes from the airport and surrounded by amenities. Since many of our guests were coming from out of town, we loved the idea that they wouldn't have to worry about transportation or logistics for the wedding.
In spite of its central location, the Boston Public Library also has this incredibly unique quality. The moment I walked in for the first time, I was blown away by the colors, architecture and sheer scale of the building. I loved that the venue spoke for itself rather than needing to be "dressed up." Additionally, I had always wanted to be married outside, and the library's courtyard made that possible. I could go on forever! It is honestly the most magical place in the entire world!
2. Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
1. The welcome bags and maps for out-of-town guests
2. The lighting! Both inside and outside, the lighting made the entire day feel like a fairy tale.
3. My dress! (I had a complete love affair with it!)
3. If you could offer one piece of advice to other couples planning their wedding, what would it be?
If your wedding is on a Saturday, pretend it is on Thursday of that week. Even if you have to stay up all night Wednesday, try to have everything done by Thursday (place-cards, welcome baskets, programs, etc). This way, you can actually ENJOY the wedding weekend and get some sleep the two nights before the big day! I can't tell you how amazing it was to be DONE by Thursday when my guests started arriving.
4. Give us the one moment from your wedding that you can't stop thinking about.
I was dancing with Jon and all of our friends and suddenly one of the flower girls ran up and handed something to me. I looked down and realized it was a Skittle from the candy bar that was set up for guests at the base of the stairs. "Eat it!" she said. So, I did. I can't tell you how strange/funny it was to be on the dance floor at our wedding, wearing a wedding dress and eating a Skittle. I can't get that memory out of my head.

Hi all,
I am very interested in beginning a build of the initial prototype Boba Fett/supertrooper, but I can't seem to find reference to the actually color of the flight suit / vest / large side pouches / spats. In the video with Ben Burtt describing the prototype suit, he says, "he looks totally white." However, looking over the video, as well as every still image available, it appears to me that these soft parts are a very-light grey, and all of the hard parts (plus boots and leather belt/pouches) are white. I could chalk it up to lighting, but the towel that is temporarily used for the cape appears white. Again, it could be a difference in the fabric combined with the lighting, but the flight suit really does look slightly grey, not white. I know the 3 3/4" figure has these parts as a medium grey, which I agree is too dark, but it does lend a little support to the argument that the flight suit was a shade of grey, not white.
Since there is no CRL yet completed for the supertrooper, I am looking to the wisdom of those out there who have already completed this costume.
Thanks for your insight,

Orioles waited too long to move Guthrie
The Baltimore Orioles should have traded right-hander Jeremy Guthrie at the non-waiver deadline last season, or even before. His value was higher when he was further away from free agency, under greater club control.
Instead, the Orioles made a deal that is all too typical of them. They waited too long to move Guthrie and received too little in return. They need prospects, genuine prospects, and they did not get one in the deal that they completed with the Colorado Rockies on Monday.
Guthrie for right-handed starter Jason Hammel and reliever Matt Lindstrom makes sense in a vacuum. The combined salaries of Hammel and Lindstrom in 2012 will be in the range of Guthrie's. And the Orioles will trumpet that they acquired a combined four years of control for one.
Problem is, Hammel, 29, and Lindstrom, 31, will not be part of the Orioles' next contending team. They likely will not even help the Orioles advance toward contention. They are mediocre veterans — Lindstrom may be a little better than that — while Guthrie, 32, is a pitcher who had actual value.
The word "had" is applicable not because of Guthrie's performance — he pitched gallantly as a No. 1 starter in the American League East, averaging nearly 200 innings and compiling an ERA-plus of 106 during the past five seasons. But the formula for trades is always the same: The higher a player's salary, the closer he is to free agency, the less a team gets in return.
New Orioles general manager Dan Duquette inherited the situation. His predecessor, Andy MacPhail, was the executive who steadfastly held on to Guthrie. Perhaps Duquette could have made a better deal earlier in the off-eason, involving a greater number of suitors. But, heck, the Orioles didn't hire Duquette until Nov. 6.
So, welcome to another episode of, "As the Orioles churn."
Hammel, who has a career ERA-plus of 92, will fit somewhere in the O's rotation, but don't expect anything close to Guthrie. Lindstrom has been traded three straight offseasons, acquiring the reputation of a reliever who is not entirely trustworthy.
Guthrie, on the other hand, will be the Rockies' No. 1 starter. That enables the Rockies to ask less of their 25-and-under rotation candidates: right-handers Jhoulys Chacin, Juan Nicasio and Alex White; lefty Drew Pomeranz; etc.
The Rockies believe Guthrie will benefit from pitching for a better club and benefit from joining an organization that doesn't change pitching coaches seemingly every year. Their bullpen, bolstered by the additions of several youngsters in offseason trades, should be deep enough to withstand the loss of Lindstrom.
And guess what?
If the Rockies fail to contend, they can flip Guthrie at the deadline. The Toronto Blue Jays would be one team with interest, sources said. The Jays might not contend, either, but could acquire Guthrie with the idea of signing him long term.
Guthrie might be the best starting pitcher available in July. His value would spike even though he would be only two months from free agency. And here's the final dagger from the Orioles' perspective:
The Rockies probably could make a better deal for him than the O's just did.
— Ken Rosenthal

Thank you for your help.
I have recently moved to Beira Mozambique. Portuguese is the spoken language.
I need to present the TEFL concept to various companies. TEFL is a new idea here and I don't really know where to begin. I have been to various companies who like the idea, but have asked for a presentation. I thought of advertising for beginners, intermediate and advanced. Need to keep it simple as am recently qualified. I did the 140hr course.
How many hours should the beginner group need, I thought of 15 - 20hrs
The same for intermediate and advanced levels.
Any ideas and advice would be greatly appreciated, I really need to make it work.
Thank you

text: Massachusetts students rank high on national science exam Massachusetts fourth- and eighth-graders ranked first and second in the country in science on the 2009 National Assessment of Educational Progress exams, Governor Deval Patrick announced on January 25. The latest results add to an already outstanding record for Massachusetts students. Since 2005, Bay State fourth- and eighth- graders have led the nation in performance on NAEP exams in both reading and math. "I congratulate both our students and teachers for yet another academic success," said MTA President Paul Toner. "These results are evidence of the hard work educators do every day to help our students succeed, despite the challenges they face in their classrooms." The National Assessment of Educational Progress is commonly referred to as "The Nation's Report Card." Governor Patrick announced the science results at the Jireh Swift Elementary School in New Bedford, where students have made significant progress on the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System tests, especially in science. Last fall, the school was named one of 187 Commendation Schools statewide, an honor reflecting its progress in closing proficiency gaps and increasing student achievement. On the grade five science MCAS test in 2010, 37 percent of students at the Swift reached proficiency, up from 21 percent in 2009. Students also demonstrated success in English, with gains in grades three and five, as well as increases in math in grades four and five. "These results continue our record of nation-leading student achievement here in Massachusetts," Governor Patrick said of the NAEP science results. "Our future success as a Commonwealth is directly tied to our ability to provide our students with a quality education, and today's results confirm that high expectations and hard work are paying off." NAEP is the only nationally representative and continuing assessment of what America's students know and can do in core subjects. NAEP assesses representative samples of students in all 50 states and reports state-level results at grades four and eight. On the 2009 NAEP science exam, Massachusetts fourth-graders had an average scaled score of 160, above the national average of 149. They ranked first in the nation, tied with New Hampshire and eight other states. At grade eight, Massachusetts students also averaged 160, again above the national average of 149. The eighth-graders ranked second, tied with 10 other states. North Dakota placed first. While state-level NAEP results in science have been reported previously (in 1996, 2000 and 2005), the introduction of a new NAEP science curriculum framework precludes the comparison of 2009 science results to those of prior years. Massachusetts students have also done well on numerous other comparative exams. In 2007, on the Trends in Mathematics and Science Survey exams, Massachusetts fourth-graders ranked second worldwide in science achievement, while the state's eighth-graders tied for first worldwide in science. The new NAEP results, like others, reflect a continued achievement gap, with lower scores attained by African-American, Hispanic and special needs students. "Massachusetts educators remain committed to addressing that gap," Toner said. In Massachusetts, roughly 7,400 students were randomly selected to take a NAEP exam in reading, math or science. The 2009 NAEP results in math and reading were released previously. Additional information on NAEP is available at http://www.nationsreportcard.gov/ and www.doe.mass.edu/mcas/naep.

Arsène Wenger will assess the fitness of Cesc Fabregas before deciding whether the Arsenal captain will travel to the Club's pre-season training camp in Germany later this week.
Fabregas missed the tour of Asia with a muscular problem and has yet to return to full training though his manager is hopeful the midfielder will be ready to join up with the rest of the squad when they fly to Cologne on Friday.
"We will have to see how far he is with his injury," said Wenger. "Normally, yes [he will go].
"He is not back in full training. He is back running on the pitch and the next step is to be back in full training. I will have to assess him on Monday."
Speculation linking Fabregas with a move back to Barcelona has failed to subside this summer but Wenger has again reiterated his desire to keep the 24-year-old at Arsenal.
"My target is the same - to keep the players and my desire to fight for that is the same. The problem is [that] we face speculation from everywhere."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

My M&P's will never see that many rounds.
I found this through the M&P forum. WHen I stumbled onto it he was around 10,000 rounds. I thought this was very cool and really has me considering an M&P9 Pro. Hear is the link to the final story. You can dig through the site and find the complete history of this test. He would update the site regularly with the progress of the test.
That is pretty impressive....... I doubt my guns will ever see that number of rounds either....
