CAD Manager's Newsletter (#278)14 Mar, 2012 By: Robert Green
A Mobile CAD Reality Check, Part 2
Phones and tablets won't take the place of your workstation, but they can make field operations more efficient.
In the previous edition of the CAD Manager's Newsletter, I began an exploration of how mobile CAD applications for phones, tablets, and notebooks might change the way we view and manage CAD. In this installment, I'll wrap up my discussion of mobile CAD by considering how these applications' strengths and weaknesses could impact our CAD workflows. Here goes.
Small Devices, Big Limitations
The more I explore mobile CAD applications, the more I believe that they will not even come close to replacing traditional workstation-based CAD. Instead they will be relegated to use in the field by workers who can't easily lug around a full-sized computer. I disagree with those who believe we'll all be doing CAD editing on our phones soon, because of the following factors:
Interface size. Phones and tablets are too small for large-scale CAD work. There's simply no way I can be as productive on a tablet as I can at my workstation, with its 24-inch or larger HD screen. And on a microscopic phone screen? I think not.
Input difficulty. Even the well-designed touch-screen keypads on Apple devices are nowhere near as fast for data input as a full size keyboard with a scrolling-enabled mouse — and trying to format text on a phone-sized device is simply painful.
Lack of OS support. Full-featured CAD applications are primarily Windows-based (with an increasing amount of support for Mac). These applications simply aren't going to be fully ported to Apple iOS–based or Android-based mobile devices. Instead, we'll see smaller applications with limited feature sets — and limited feature sets mean we won't be able to perform high-powered CAD work. Read more »
:: AutoCAD 2013 is (Almost) Here
Significant updates include improved mechanical model documentation, annotation options — and some cloud-based functionality that is still top secret.
It turns out that you can't keep the next version of AutoCAD secret! Due for release later this month, AutoCAD 2013 was the subject of a gathering of CAD bloggers in January — myself among them — but we had to agree to a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) that would lift on March 27. Well, in late February, Autodesk Japan lifted the covers prematurely, exposing the new version via the Internet. At that point, Autodesk rescinded the NDA — or at least part of it.
That gives Cadalyst the opportunity to offer you a sneak peak at AutoCAD 2013 a month before its official launch. In a later update (most likely in the March 28 edition of my CAD Manager's Newsletter), I'll reveal the features that are currently still under NDA and will discuss the new release in terms of how it will affect CAD managers in particular.
Getting Acclimated
In terms of its user interface, AutoCAD 2013 looks much like recent releases: The wide-format UI utilizes an ever-growing ribbon panel across the top, view manipulation components to the right, and an enhanced Command prompt, status tray, and shortcut bars. The Quick View Drawing tabs have been updated to show specific layout tabs, so you can better track the various sessions you have open even if that includes multiple sessions of the same DWG file. There's also a lot more going on in the upper right corner for Cloud, Exchange, product updates, and Help queries. Most users should be able to get to work in the new UI with very little transition.Read more »
:: CAD Manager's Toolbox: Prioritize Your CAD Crises
Which workplace issues are giving you the most grief? Here's an easy way to focus your problem-solving efforts.
If you're like most CAD managers, you run from one crisis to the next, just trying to keep up. Unfortunately, when you operate like this, you never take stock of the problems you have, and you're unable to prioritize the fixes you need to make.
As simple as it sounds, keeping a commented problem list will go a long way toward keeping you on task and gaining management's support to fix things. Here's what I do:
Record the problem: Carry a notepad at all times! Jot down every problem anyone mentions. (Example: "Plotting pen weights are wrong for the XYZ project.") Also note proposed fixes, if any. Read more »

Contact lens versus eyeglass prescriptions in Vegas
Do you have questions about contact lenses versus eyeglass prescriptions and which might work better for you? Are you a new member of the Los Vegas area or simply seeking to connect with the best eye doctor Vegas to help walk you through what personalized treatment path is right for you and why? Your search for excellent optical guidance is over! Call Dr. Michael Vathenasaynee, O.D. today to learn what exemplary eye care truly feels like. At our office, you'll be treated like part of the family!
At the practice of Dr. Michael Vathanasaynee, O.D., we understand how much careful, accurate, and clear patient education can factor into a client's lifelong vision. That's why we always make sure to learn about our patients' particular conditions and lifestyle during preliminary appointments and, in turn, offer as much helpful information about eye care as possible. That way, our patients can arm themselves with knowledge and know-how, improving their ability to participate in good preventative practices that will protect the quality of their vision for the many years to come. Do you suffer from blurry or otherwise imperfect vision and hope to discuss your treatment with the best eye doctor Vegas? Don't hesitate; book an appointment with our esteemed specialists today! We can perform a whole slough of comprehensive eye examinations that will help us to diagnose your condition and offer appropriate prescriptions accordingly. Whether or not you want prescription contact lenses or eyeglasses is a question both of your particular condition and personal taste. The two treatment paths require different exams as contact lenses must be fitted over the actual eyeball.
Worried your eyeball irregularities might make it impossible to have contacts? Chances are, advances in optical technology will make it possible to find the right contacts for you, or any other hard-to-fit patient. That said, there's only one way to find out what the best optical treatment option is for you; come on down to the practice of Michael Vathanasaynee, O.D. and ask the best eye doctor Vegas yourself!

Why people buy USED / WATER DAMAGED iPhones?
I'm currently trying to start my own small business in my local area in repairing iPhones and possibly selling them in return or just repairing for friends, family, customers. But why do you some people bother with purchasing water damaged iPhones? How would they know what to repair? is it a gamble? or can they really fix it? how do they fix it? or just use everything for spare parts?
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Is this a good question?
@oldturkey03 thanks for the tips! what are the main parts that should be replaced, when its water damage?
Definitely the battery, no if's, when's, or but's about it. After that the Lightning connector. From there on it's a crap shoot, depending on what symptoms are showing up. Any of the SMD components may fail if shorted out. Good job with the username :-)
@oldturkey03 Thanks again for the help! I will take a look more into this on iPhones that I have that have water damage.

Docklnds Spaces
Commissioned by the City of Melbourne and Places Victoria in late 2012, Docklands Spaces was a pilot initiative by Renew Australia to activate some of the underutilised spaces in Docklands through incubating short-term uses by creative enterprises and independent local initiatives on a rent-free basis.
The program was launched publicly in December 2012 when properties were first secured through the generosity of properties in New Quay and the Waterfront City Piazza. During the first call for expressions of interest over 80 makers, designers, artists, community groups and other creative types applied for space.
In the first six months of the program seven projects were successfully placed in spaces across the Docklands. The program continued to expand through 2013 and 2014 with properties secured in Harbour Town, Victoria Harbour and Collins Landing.
Throughout the life of the project, Renew Australia continued to receive interest for new start-ups with well over 200 enquiries for space. Since its inception, the Docklands Spaces program has assisted more than twenty small businesses, community groups and creative projects to set up in Docklands.
Upon review, looking at the projects involved in the program, reveals a group of people who are passionate about what they do, engaging members of their local community and bringing life, activity and value to the precinct. Collectively these projects have been responsible for introducing many new people to Docklands, for generating positive stories about the precinct and introducing a layer of life and activity that may not otherwise have been there.
After more than three years, the Docklands Spaces program closed in June 2016. Renew Australia would like to thank the City of Melbourne and Places Victoria for both their ongoing support and funding of the initiative and would also like to thank MAB, Lend Lease, property owners and respective agents for their support and willingness to be part of the Docklands Spaces program.
Renew Australia
Renew Australia is a national social enterprise designed to catalyse community renewal, economic development, the arts and creative industries across Australia. It works with communities and property owners to take otherwise empty shops, offices, commercial and public buildings and make them available to incubate short-term use by artists, creative projects and community initiatives.
Renew Australia is based on experiences and strategies pioneered by Renew Newcastle. In 2008 Renew Newcastle was established as a low cost, low budget DIY urban renewal scheme that has proved highly successful and generated significant media and community interest locally, nationally and internationally. As the direct result of Renew Newcastle's activities more than 80 new businesses and initiatives had been seeded and Newcastle was hailed by Lonely Planet as one of the top 10 cities in the world to visit in 2011 due to the exciting, eclectic creative community that had been seeded there.
Renew Australia is a not for profit company limited by guarantee that trades as a social enterprise. It provides fee for service based consultancy, project management, research, training and other services to councils, State and Federal Government, economic development professionals, developers and property owners. Revenue made from this will allow us to subsidise services, to offer seed funding and support for artists and community groups, and free and subsidised training for community builders.

Rick Ross Gets "Rich Forever" Face Tattoo
Rick Ross obtained a "Rich Forever" tattoo on his face recently.
A photograph of the rapper's new face tattoo was posted on social media by Nikko Hurtado, the acclaimed tattoo artist responsible for the ink.
Hurtado also worked on rapper Game's December 2013 Nelson Mandela portrait tattoo.
"Rich Forever" is likely symbolic for Ross as it is also the emcee's 2012 mixtape project title.
In 2012, at the time the set was revealed, the rapper spoke about what the title meant. "I feel for you to be rich forever, you have to be rich with ideas, rich with concepts, rich with thoughts," he said in an interview with Mixtape Daily. "To me, that's what being rich forever is."
An image of the tattoo is below.

Culinary Art School Classes for Becoming a Chef, Cooking for Fun or Simply Food Passion? (Poll) and Salad Poll Result
Why all these culinary cooking, professional or not questions? After my very short break (really little) with the last summer flashes, I've stayed and meet several people in the food & homemade gourmet industry.
How vast and diverse is the culinary world with chefs, event catering, modern/country restaurants, cooking schools or institutes…and certainly foodies!
Therefore I think is funny to do a poll about your culinary interests whatever can be: just cooking for pleasure, a formal education-career to chef in a college, only love to eat or all together!
Endless options… you've the food word…
– Studied in local cooking schools in California, NY, Boston, Chicago; may be just western culinary or international like Thai or Japanese in other country?
– May be, cooking isn't for you and you delight with gourmet meals but done generally by others?
– Perhaps, your dream is to become to the group of pastry chefs enjoying, both, baking and pastry reflected in your food blog, or other online/offline media?
Questions questions….go to the poll, you've the idea…
Food Passion as Culinary Career or for Pleasure?
– Taking culinary classes
– Ended culinary education
– Cook, baking, pastry chef
– Amateur cooking for fun
– Have a hospitality degree
– Food lover but don't cook
– Food lover – Foodie
– Other: say it in comments
Please vote on the left & up of your screen and comment about your gastronomic interests!
Salad Poll Result
Well the poll about fresh healthy salads or not…has ended with some foreseeable results but not every one!
Take a look of the salad poll comments. The level and many different responses about salads and salad dressing are diverse. Not everybody wants a low fat salad hehe…really some wants with mayo I don't the quantity, I presume a lot 😉
The result about your preferred salads is:
Vegetable: 18 (72%)
Cheese: 4 (16%)
Fruit: 4 (16%)
Chicken: 3 (12%)
Pasta: 3 (12%)
Seafood: 2 (8%)
None: 0 (0%)
Other (say it in comments): 4 (16%)
A clear winner are salad-greens 72% (expected) but I see there're many cheese lovers like Jessie, 5 Star Foodie, Olga, CookingwithKimberly with mozzarella, gorgonzola, and cambozola! Zerrin also with a cheese-curd salad with a delicious recipe.
Gourmet fruit salad is other fresh point (mine too) also with a (16%) Reeni♥ with "Mixed greens with diced apples, dried cranberries, walnuts, bleu cheese and homemade honey mustard vinaigrette" OMG!!, and VeggieGirl too. Navita is of my sweet team of sweet lovers! I guess fruit salads are for you too.
Mixed chicken/seafood salads we have The Duo Dishes "Mayo based" clearly a mayo fan ;), HuggingtheCoast.com "fresh chicken salad made from leftover fried chicken" and The Food Site "mixed green vegs, tomatoes, crunchy carrots and I top it with grilled chicken"
Another very tempting one with "toasted pine nuts, prosciutto and a balsamic vinaigrette" Tangled Noodle excellent choice, Elra "prefer with simple dressing, olive oil and balsamic vinegar" – likewise and with a "fabulous vinaigrette, that really primes and cleanses the palate." of Carolyn Jung.
I like also country style salads in the same manner with Rosa's Yummy Yums "Asian-style", AverageBetty "my absolute favorite is a Chinese/Thai Chicken salad" and Janet Rose-Bartlett.
Great salads have Soma in her food blog and vegetarian friendly dishes have Lorraine @NotQuiteNigella in her cooking blog to enjoy.
Concluding the salad can be a complete gourmet meal like Jude said, with "Truffle always a wonderful bonus combined with rich lettuces" of Elaine – The Gourmet Girl or simple but, all the times, nutrition meals where you can play a lot with ingredients and flavors.
I noticed that nobody hit no-salad, it is good to know that, because any nutrition consultant will say that veggies must be in any type of healthy eating plans. If your salad isn't very healthy for the dressing, no matter….eating facts: some kind of vegetables must be in your diets.
Any comments to share about these 2 polls: the salad ended, or the new one with your engagement with food?

Phillip Swagel is a professor at the School of Public Policy at the University of Maryland and was assistant secretary for economic policy at the Treasury Department from 2006 to 2009.
As I wrote four weeks ago, the Federal Reserve is trying to figure out when the recovery has become firm enough to reduce its purchases of Treasury bonds and government-backed mortgages made under the quantitative easing program known as QE3. This "taper" would be the first step in what is likely to be a lengthy process of moving back to a normal monetary policy after five years of extraordinary measures in the wake of the financial crisis and Great Recession.
Today's Economist
Perspectives from expert contributors.
The Federal Reserve stated on Wednesday afternoon that it would tighten monetary policy if inflation became a problem, but otherwise would continue with its expansionary policy "until the outlook for the labor market has improved substantially." This largely mirrors previous language from the Fed's decision-making Federal Open Market Committee. The data on gross domestic product are important for assessing the Fed's intentions, since the pace of growth has a strong influence on job creation, just as consumer spending growth is likewise driven by G.D.P. growth (as explained Wednesday by Casey Mulligan).
Many Fed watchers have concluded that there has been enough improvement for the Fed to act already, with both strengthening G.D.P. growth and job gains of more than 200,000 per month on average in the first six months of 2013 (employment data for July will be released Friday morning). Under this view, the taper would be announced on Sept. 18, when Ben S. Bernanke, the Fed chairman, is set to hold a news conference after the next meeting of the policy committee. The Fed is now buying $85 billion a month of long-term securities. It could dial this back to $60 billion a month and still provide an expansionary monetary policy, even if less so than at present.
Some details of G.D.P. growth for the second quarter support the view that the taper is at hand, notably the modest impact of tighter federal spending on the economy. Mr. Bernanke in recent Congressional testimony expressed the concern that "tight federal fiscal policy will restrain economic growth." So far at least, economic drag from the higher taxes and lower spending that took hold at the start of 2013 appear to have been offset by other factors, including a housing market recovery and a rebound in business spending. It is possible that Congress and President Obama could find themselves at loggerheads over the debt ceiling and federal budget in the fall, and that the resulting game of fiscal chicken could have a negative impact on business and consumer confidence. For now, however, one of Mr. Bernanke's chief worries seems to have been assuaged.
Even so, I am still not so sure that the Fed is ready to dial back its monetary stimulus. The figures for second-quarter G.D.P. were better than expected, but a growth rate below 2 percent is still too modest to lift job creation beyond the 200,000 recent pace or to hasten the painfully slow downward progression of the still-elevated unemployment rate. There is a sense in which seeing the G.D.P. data as good news only highlights the sadly diminished vigor of the economy since the crisis. After all, G.D.P. grew by better than 3 percent over the 15 years before 2008, and the unemployment rate remains uncomfortably high at 7.6 percent, with millions of Americans still out of work for extended periods.
Indeed, continued growth would draw back into the job market people who gave up looking for work over the past years and allow the Fed to maintain its expansionary monetary policy stance. A reversal of the decline in the labor force participation rate would be welcome because it would indicate that the recovery has finally reached those driven onto the sidelines by the recession. But renewed job seekers would keep the unemployment rate higher than otherwise — a person is counted as unemployed only if looking for work. And this continued high unemployment in turn would stave off inflationary pressures that might arise from a heating-up labor market, in that way giving the Fed more room to keep the monetary throttle open.
Moreover, it is possible that the second quarter was not actually as good as the data now indicate. The G.D.P. data released Wednesday will be revised on Aug. 29 and again on Sept. 26, incorporating additional information not yet available (the New York Fed provides a calendar with economic data releases). In particular, the first estimate of G.D.P. released Wednesday is based on figures for inventories and international trade (imports and exports) that are essentially guesses by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the government agency that constructs the G.D.P. data. The bureau does a good job, and would do an even better one with additional budgetary resources — economic statistics are a vital function for the government. But its figures for inventories and exports were notably better than expected, meaning that downward revisions would not be especially surprising. Indeed, the bureau on Page 18 of its G.D.P. release indicates that the average revision of the data is 0.6 percentage points between the first estimate and the third, though this includes revisions both up and down.
The improvement in economic growth in the second quarter augurs well for continued job market gains. But the question for the Fed is whether a good-but-not-great quarter and a string of months with moderate job gains is either good enough or perhaps simply the best that can be gotten from monetary policy. With growth still modest and its future prospects uncertain, the unemployment rate high, and inflation not visible, the Fed could reasonably decide to wait several months to be sure that the recovery continues to strengthen. All eyes then will be on Friday morning's release of jobs data for July.

Mini Seven Race Report – Brands Hatch
Well it's been a manic start to the season , and we a currently at race 4 of 8 in a 6 week period so sorry for the delay in race reports…
The Brands Hatch Mini Festival was a blustery event, but the showers and storm force winds not putting off the die hard mini fanatics that make any Mini event that extra bit special .
Qualifying was very very wet and after problems at Castle Combe I was keen to make some progress, and after what felt like a very steady and cautious session I was very pleased to have earned 4th and 6th spots respectively for the two races that weekend.
Race one couldn't come quickly enough, and the sun decided to make an appearance which made things very different to the morning.
I made a terrible start, hampered by an engine map that made me bog down at low revs, so by the second corner I was down to eight, but importantly, keeping up with the pack. With my misfire problem returning all I could do was try and hold on to my position, which proved to be fortuitous as with a couple of retirements in front, I was able to bring the car home for 6th position, pleasing all things considered.
After some alterations to trigger wheel alignment and engine map I was more fired up for race 2, and as the lights went green I made a fantastic start , driving through to 4th by the second corner. Typical close racing ( and a little rubbing! ) saw me drop to 8th but again holding my own in terms of pace . With 2 more retirements in front I was back to 6th and in a pack of 3 cars fighting for 4 position when something went very wrong with the steering!
Now common sense should have prevailed at this point and I should have retired , but with an empty rear view mirror I decided to carry on with extreme caution . It's not that I didn't have steering , just a lot of play in the steering wheel before any movement occurred . Calculated decisions proved to be the key in bringing the car home to another 6th position finish , not bad with all things considered!
After this weekend it was fair to say that my confidence has returned and with a position of 4th in the championship things seem to be improving.

Big West Track And Field Teams Stick In California This Week
Track and Field Release No. 3
Big West track and field athletes look to improve times this week at various meets throughout the state of California, including the Stanford Invitational and UCLA Legends Invite.
Big West To Take Part In High Profile Meets: The Big West will have the entire state of California covered for this week's meet action, and a majority of squads will be competing at prestigious events including the Stanford Invitational and the UCLA Legends Invite. Cal Poly, Long Beach State, UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Riverside and UC Santa Barbara are sending competitors to Stanford, while the Mustangs, Cal State Fullerton, UC Davis and the Anteaters have contingents going to UCLA. The Stanford Invitational is being billed as one of the best meets in America with athletes assembling from over all the world.
Action Continues Elsewhere: A smattering of teams also are scheduled to compete at various other meets around California. The California Collegiate Invitational, previously known as the Cal-Nevada Championships, is hosted by UC San Diego and will feature Long Beach State, which is sending 72 athletes (36 men, 36 women) to the meet. CSUN is traveling to the Mondo Mid-Major Invitational hosted by Sacramento State. Meanwhile, competitors from Cal Poly, CSUN, UC Davis, UCI and UCSB will be represented at the San Francisco State Distance Carnival. Cal Poly and UCSB will have athletes compete in the Sam Adams Combined Events Invite in Montecito.
Marshall Continues To Post Stellar Marks: UC Davis sprinter Ashley Marshall, a two-time Big West Women's Track Athlete of the Year and a two-time competitor at NCAA nationals, is seeking to make her senior season the most prominent one yet. She seems headed in that direction, at least based on early returns in the 2015 campaign. Marshall won the 200-meters last weekend at the Bobcat Invitational hosted by Texas State in a time of 23.30. The time currently ranks No. 1 nationally, ahead of Florida State's Kala Funderburk and USC's Deanna Hill, both of whom have run 23.37. Marshall also sports the NCAA's No. 2-rated time in the 100-meters, an 11.41 that she posted at the Cal Opener on March 7.
Sicard Goes Big In Texas: Lloyd Sicard, the first athlete from UC Irvine to ever earn the conference's top frosh award when he was named the 2014 Big West Men's Freshman of the Year, appears poised to capitalize on a solid sophomore campaign. He fared well at the prestigious Texas Relays in Austin last weekend, finishing fifth in the final of the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 13.86, a mark that currently ranks No. 8 in the nation this season. Sicard's performance put him at No. 2 in the UCI record book, just .06 off the school record of 13.80 set by Stan Longino in 1983.
Shorty Posts Top Five National Mark: In one of the deepest young talent pools the Big West has featured in years, Cal State Fullerton sophomore Janaya Shorty is one of the top performers on that list. The Titan sprinter rolled to a first place victory in the 400-meter dash at last weekend's UC Riverside Spring Break Classic, notching a 53.60. The time is No. 4 in the NCAA, the fastest in the Big West, and the third-fastest in school history.
Big West Track & Field Championship Heads To Riverside: UC Riverside will host the Big West Track and Field Championships for the first time in school history. The UCR Track Stadium will be home to the multi-events portion of the meet (May 8-9) and the full portion (May 15-16).

Geophysicists are finding that explaining dramatic variations in climate is a tougher challenge than they first expected. They are warning decisionmakers not to wait for further scientific evidence before taking action to cope with possible man-made global warming.
Last year, for example, was one of the warmest on record and 1998 is fixing to be even hotter, says the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. While this may seem like evidence of a man-made climate change, don't bet on it.
Hindsight shows that much of last year's unusual warmth was due to the recent El Nio short-term climate shift, says climatologist Tim Barnett from Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, Calif. Subtract the El Nio effect and "you'd probably say something different" about that nominally "warmest" year, he adds. Once again, natural weather changes muddled what seemed to be a clear global-warming signal.
To judge from a meeting here of the American Geophysical Union, climate researchers are resigned to the fact that they probably never will be completely certain of human effects on climate.
Nevertheless, there is a growing consensus that some degree of a man-made climate change may already be under way. That's why many experts say that scientific uncertainty is no longer a reason to delay action to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other climate-warming gases. The American Geophysical Union, after much debate, has prepared an official statement that makes these points.
Concern about the rising sea level illustrates the situation. The average global sea level has risen a few millimeters a year throughout this century. Man-made global warming, theoretically, could accelerate that rate. When the world's sea level suddenly rose by 0.8 inches between March and November last year, some environmentalists thought that man-made acceleration might have kicked in. It was a false alarm, as R. Steven Nerem explained at the meeting here.
Dr. Nerem is a member of the science team working with the French/American TOPEX/Poseidon satellite, which measures average global sea level every 10 days. Nerem says that, once again, hindsight shows this dramatic sea-level rise was a short-lived response to El Nio. So too was a 0.7 degree F. rise in sea-surface temperature between October 1996 and December 1997. Both sea-level and sea-surface temperature changes have returned to normal levels.
Nerem said that detecting sea-level variations, caused by long-term climate change, will be more difficult than scientists had anticipated. This is because such changes are significantly smaller than the dramatic variations than were seen during the short-term El Nio. He added that, while there are six years of satellite data on hand, "we really need a decade or more of continuous measurements before we can accurately detect any climate-induced change."
Nevertheless, the world's sea level continues to rise a few millimeters a year. Experts say that low-lying islands and coastal regions need to prepare for this rise, regardless of climate data uncertainties.
Not all of the experts are reticent in their conclusions. Jonathan Overpeck - who heads the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Paleoclimatology Program in Boulder, Colo. - looks back over 1,200 years. Because there's no instrumental record, he examines sea and lake sediments, glacial ice cores, tree rings, and, where available, historical documents that yield clues to past climates.
Dr. Overpeck calls global warming in this century "unprecedented" over that 1,200 year period. He says his research has failed to find any known natural mechanism that would propel this warming. "Twentieth-century global warming is a reality and should be taken seriously," Overpeck concluded at the San Francisco meeting here.
Few of his geophysical colleagues would put it that bluntly. But few of them also would want their caution to dissuade nations from treating man-made climate change as a serious possibility.

The new union UNITE (the merged ATGWU and AMICUS unions) has just published a report on Irish wages that is sure to prove controversial. It flatly contradicts the prevailing consensus that Irish wages are somehow 'high', that Irish wage growth is high relative to our EU trading partners, and that these 'high' wages are one of the root causes of our deteriorating competitiveness. In removing these arguments from the table, the trade union movement will be doing all of us a considerable favour, not just because it strengthens the arguments for wage increases, but also because it will focus our attention on the real reasons behind our economic troubles, reasons that have little to do with the employers' claims.
The report is simplicity itself. It merely looked up the facts. Using the international databases that compile cross-country comparisons, it reveals the following:
- The OECD: In this measurement of the total private sector, Irish wages rank in the bottom half of the EU-15, lying 11th and falling nearly 11% behind the average EU wage.
- EU AMECO: In this database, maintained by the EU's Economic and Financial Affairs Directorate, Irish industrial wages lie 11th as well, nearly 7% behind the EU-15 average.
- The US Bureau of Labor Statistics: The American database shows that Irish manufacturing wages are over 17% below the EU-15 average (and an incredible 42% below Norway's average manufacturing wage).
Though these measurements use different methodologies, it is interesting that they tell the same story: Irish wages are below the EU-15 average. But the report goes beneath these headline figures to unearth even more consensus-busting data on Irish wages.
First, the document, using the OECD measurement, shows that when Ireland is compared with its peer group-the wealthiest ten European countries, of which Ireland is one-our average wage falls a massive 25% behind the EU top-ten average. And when you factor in living costs, by applying purchasing power parities (the 'how-much-bread-€1-buys-in-each-country' measurement), Irish wages end up being not that much higher than in Spain. In the EU-15 table, they fall from a nominal 11% behind the average to a real fall of over 20%.
On just about any measurement you want to use, Irish private-sector employees are relatively low waged when compared with their EU counterparts. So where did this idea that Irish wages are somehow inhibiting our competitiveness come from? UNITE takes this issue head on. It shows how employers' organisations and government ministers use a clever sleight-of-hand, mixing percentages and wage increases to first bewilder, then distort.
Yes, Irish wages have been increasing faster than most European wages in percentage terms, but that's the catch: The percentages are high but the increases are working off a lower base. For instance, take two employees, one earning €10,000 and the other earning €20,000. If they both receive a €500 wage increase, it calculates as a 5% increase for the low earner and a 2.5% increase for the higher earner. The wage increase is the same but the percentages are different.
So, when an Irish worker receives a 28% wage increase over the last six years while a Belgian worker gets a 19% increase over that same period, we might jump to the conclusion that Irish wages are increasing at an 'uncompetitive' rate. But look behind the numbers and we see that both workers received the same amount, about €1,500. So the Irish employer is no worse off in terms of cost increases (at least with wages) than the Belgian employer. Indeed, the Irish employer still has the advantage of paying lower wages.
Irish employers enjoy not only the advantage of paying relatively low wages, however. They also benefit from a generous (that is, low) social security-or PRSI-contribution regime. Irish employers pay one of the lowest rates in the EU. While the average EU employer pays approximately 20% social security levy, Irish employers pay half that, 10.2%. Were our Employers' PRSI levies pegged at the EU average, they would have to be doubled. It's win-win for Irish employers.
So is there a causal link between wage levels and economic competitiveness? Employers and government ministers would like to convince us there is. However, that insistence on an iron law could backfire on them, because UNITE shows that in the EU-15 there are nine countries that rank higher than Ireland in the World Economic Summit's Global Competitiveness Index, and all those countries have wage levels above those pertaining here. In fact, Denmark, which is the highest-ranked EU country, has an average wage some 32% higher than Ireland. So, if there are those who want to suggest a causal link between wage levels and competitiveness, they will have to contend with the evidence, namely, that higher-wage economies are more competitive than lower-waged ones.
'The Truth About Irish Wages' constitutes a fundamental assault on the economic consensus that dominates debate today-that Irish workers are 'pricing themselves out of the market', that 'high wages' are undermining our competitiveness, and other such misinformed and unsubstantiated assertions. And it's not as if these facts are somehow secret or only penetrable with an army of analysts. Anyone can go on to the OECD database or the EU AMECO website or quickly surf the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. It's all there for enterprising journalists or commentators to take a few minutes to look up.
But UNITE's report is not just about wages. It is about the fundamental premise of social partnership, that wage moderation can be compensated for by tax cuts. This premise is already being questioned by ICTU's David Begg, and, with the Exchequer deficit nearly out of control, is probably not repeatable-not in today's economic climate. So Irish workers are taking two hits: first, low wages, and second, the lack of a social wage which can only be paid out of high taxation. High taxation, in turn, can only be built on the framework of high wages. So we're in a vicious cycle downwards.
And for pointing that out, we should be grateful to UNITE. Whatever about the emperor's au naturel perambulations, it's good to see a trade union commenting on the tattered apparel that Irish employees are forced to don.

Visit the Delta Dental Risk Assessment Tool to examine common risk indicators and provide custom feedback to help you maintain a healthy smile.
Mouth rinse or mouthwash is a product used for oral hygiene. Antiseptic and antiplaque mouth rinse can kill the germs that cause plaque, gingivitis, and bad breath. Anticavity mouth rinses use fluoride or other ingredients to protect against tooth decay.
Given the wide range of ingredients on the market, picking the right mouthwash or mouth rinse-or even figuring out if you need one-can be perplexing. Always check the manufacturer's label for precautions and age recommendations and talk with your dentist about the use of fluoride mouth rinse.
Help with Bad BreathAnticavity rinses with fluoride have been proven to fight up to 50 percent more of the bacteria that cause cavities. Studies show that most over-the-counter (OTC) antiplaque rinses and antiseptics do little more to combat plaque and gum disease than rinsing with water. But most mouthwashes do curb bad breath and freshen your mouth for up to three hours.
Your dentist may suggest a prescription-only mouthwash that includes extra ingredients to protect against dry mouth, periodontal (gum) disease or inflammation, cavities, or other problems. Some are fluoride rinses that fight plaque, cavities, or both. Don't rinse your mouth, eat, or smoke for 30 minutes after you use a mouthwash to avoid diluting the fluoride and rinsing it away.
Unwanted Side EffectsWatch out for unwanted side effects. Rinses with alcohol can cause a burning sensation in the cheeks, tongue, and gums. Some concentrated mouthwashes can lead to mouth ulcers, sodium retention, root sensitivity, stained teeth, soreness, numbness, and changes in taste sensation.Using too much fluoride mouthwash or swallowing it can lead to fluoride toxicity. Fluoride mouthwash is not recommended for children ages 6 and younger because they may swallow it by accident.
If you experience irritation or other problems after using a mouthwash, discontinue use and talk with your dentist.

A Show of Hands documentary film
A Show of Hands is a documentary film directed by Wright State University film student Sean W. Mangan. The 10-minute film shares the personal story of how self-taught puppeteer Terrence Burke used his lifelong passion for puppets to turn his life around and follow his dreams after suffering a tragic loss in his family in 2001. This is one man's story of self-therapy, by sharing happiness and joy with others and helping himself heal. One puppet show at a time.
The film was shot on location over several days in October of 2015 in the Cincinnati, Ohio neighborhood of Northside, and at Wump Mucket Puppets performances in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, and Fort Mitchell, Kentucky.
The film had its first public screening at the WSU Motion Pictures Program 16th Annual Doc Night at the campus of Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio on February 12, 2016.
Enjoy the trailer:
The Cincinnati premiere screening was on Tuesday, June 7, 2016, at 6:30 pm at the Public Library of Cincinnati's Northside Branch. It is interesting to note that this is the very same library that Burke's hand-crafted puppet troupe made their very first library performance at in July 2011.
Enjoy the film!
A Show Of Hands – Directed by Sean W. Mangan (2015)
Puppeteer Terrence Burke and a couple of his fun-loving puppet characters are available to screen the film at your library or school event. A 45-minute question & answer session follows the film. Screenings may be booked via our CONTACT PAGE. A speaking fee is requested.

VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI transferred a senior Holy See official after his name appeared in Italian media reports about a secret Vatican dossier on corruption.
Monsignor Ettore Balestrero, who as an undersecretary of the Vatican's Foreign Ministry played a key role in efforts to improve Vatican financial transparency, was named ambassador to Colombia, the Holy See press office said Friday.
Balestrero had been mentioned in the reports by Panorama magazine and la Repubblica daily, which said the Pope decided to resign in December after receiving a dossier allegedly detailing a network of sex and corruption inside the Vatican.
The reports cited unidentifed people close to the three cardinals who compiled the document, which was the result of an internal probe into last year's leaks case that led to the arrest and later pardon of the Pope's personal butler.
Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi, who's indicated the Pope may meet with the cardinals who compiled the document before leaving office Feb. 28, has declined to comment on the Italian media reports.
Balestrero's transfer was in the works a long time and had nothing to do with the media reports or leaks investigation, Lombardi told reporters after a briefing at the Vatican Friday.
Vatileaks Case
The scandal known as Vatileaks centered on papal documents that were leaked to an Italian journalist by Paolo Gabriele, the Pope's former butler.
The Pope pardoned Gabriele Dec. 22 after he had been convicted of theft by a Vatican tribunal and sentenced to 18 months in a Vatican jail.
The leaked texts formed the backbone of a book portraying the Vatican as a hotbed of intrigue and Benedict as a leader undermined by his powerful second-in-command, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, once touted as a possible candidate for the papacy.
The Pope announced on Feb. 11 that he longer had the strength to lead the world's 1.2 billion Catholics and will resign from the papacy at the end of the month, the first such abdication in almost 600 years.
Catholic Clergy
In one of this last public appearances before retiring, the Pope said Feb. 13 that "God is not an instrument to be used for one's own ends, for one's own glory." Catholic clergy must avoid divisions and set a good example for both the faithful and non-believers, he said.
"The face of the church is sometimes disfigured, I think in particular of the blows against its unity and divisions within the clergy," he said during Ash Wednesday celebrations Feb. 13 in St. Peter's Basilica. "Overcoming individualism and rivalries is a humble and precious signal to those who are far from the faith."

U.S. Aid To Egypt Irreplaceable, Obama Administration Official Says
Official downplays fears as Russia's foreign and defense ministers prepare to fly to Cairo.
A senior Obama administration official has downplayed concerns over the Kremlin's encroachment into Egypt as Russia's foreign and defense ministers get set to visit the country this week with officials from their state arms exporter in tow.
Egyptian leaders have appeared to embrace eagerness by Russia, Egypt's Cold War-era patron, to step in and make up for some of the U.S. disengagement seen since the military ousted former president Mohamed Morsi this summer — namely, its withholding of part of an annual $1.3 billion aid package.
But the U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the diplomatic sensitivity of the aid issue, said fears about Russia overtaking the United States' privileged place in Egypt were overblown: "From an economic perspective, I don't view that as a serious alternative for them."
"Can they make up the dollars? Sure," the official said. Money from Gulf allies has flowed into the country since Morsi's removal, dwarfing the sums lost when the Obama administration announced a partial suspension to the aid package last month. And now Russia is moving to provide the kind of advanced military equipment that America has withheld. "But is a dollar from the Russians or the Gulf the same as a dollar from the United States? We don't think it is."
The official argued that while assistance from Russia and the Gulf may be able to "plug the hole temporarily," U.S. aid brings with it badly needed stability and an invaluable vote of confidence, letting everyone from investors to tourists know that the country is safe for business. "It's apples and oranges," the official said.
Egypt's economy has been in steep decline since its Arab Spring uprising forced former dictator Hosni Mubarak from office. Since then, the country's leaders have proved unwilling to tackle serious reform, while constant political turmoil has only made things worse — keeping investors at bay and seeing the vital tourism industry shrink.
The official said that global companies take important cues from the U.S. on Egypt, suggesting that without the U.S. seal of approval, businesses might stay away. "If you're a company, even a non-Western company, and you're thinking about where to build a new factory, where to hire people, where to engage in contract negotiations, where you're taking a long-term risk, you're going to be asking a lot of questions about the kind of decisions you can be taking and the signals you see coming from the [international community]," the official said. "What we see and what we hear from a lot of companies is that they're waiting for a signal from the United States on whether to go back to Egypt."
"The signal that [U.S.] assistance sends to international investors is very important to Egypt," the official said. "What Egypt is trying to do is strengthen confidence in the economy and bring dollars and investors back into the country in a way that is sustainable in the medium-term. And they can't do that unless the confidence is credible. And U.S. dollars in the context of broad international support is the most effective way to do that."
As another administration official put it: "You can turn the lights on and haul away the trash, but it's just not sustainable."
As talk of U.S. aid cuts gained steam in August, after security forces massacred Morsi supporters in the capital, Egypt's prime minister suggested that a pivot to Moscow might be coming. "Let's not forget that Egypt went with the Russian military for support [in the past] and we survived," he told ABC News. "So, there is no end to life."
The tough talk has continued — raising alarm among some U.S. politicians that America may be ceding hard-won influence. "We do not see a reason to be reliant on [the U.S.] relationship. We are certainly interested in expanding our options," an Egyptian official told BuzzFeed last week.
Russia's foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, and defense minister, Sergei Shoigu, are due to visit Egypt on Wednesday and Thursday.

The Mirror says Juve - owned by the Agnelli family who run car giants Fiat - are set to hand coach Antonio Conte funds of £50million for the summer market and Torres is high on his agenda.

The 2017 Annual MeCCSA Conference will be hosted from 11-13 January 2017 by the School of Media and Communication, University of Leeds. The theme of the MeCCSA 2017 is 'Culture, Media, Equality and Freedom'. Keynote speakers and panel streams will be dedicated to this theme.
Equality and freedom are key political aspirations of modernity, from the French Revolution to the Arab Spring and beyond. Culture, media and communication (including film, television, publishing, music, digital and social media) are now central to the pursuit of these goals, and to dynamics of power and control. The conference theme provides the opportunity for MeCCSA to focus on issues of political justice in the context of our field and to consider the complex relationship between different forms of media and communication, the circumstances in which they are produced, distributed and consumed, and the consequences for the realisation of different forms of equality and freedom at local, national, regional and global levels. We have received scholarly papers, panels, practice contributions and film screenings across the full range of interests represented by MeCCSA and its networks through our call for papers.
Online coverage
Registration is now closed, but we are offering various forms of live coverage. See our live blog for coverage of the conference over the three days, visit our live stream to watch keynotes online and keep up-to-date via Twitter at @meccsa2017 and #meccsa2017.

Less than two weeks after officially leaving JCCC, Calaway sets his eyes on Florida State College at Jacksonville
"Terry Calaway has announced his retirement as president of Johnson County Community College," a JCCC press release announced last October.
"Calaway is retiring to spend more time with his family; he plans to leave the college Aug. 1, 2013"
Clearly his family wants to be the head of a large community college in Florida.
Calaway's sudden announcement to retire followed Trustee Don Weiss' resignation from the Board of Trustees and is followed by Trustee Melody Rayl's resignation from the board this month.

Is there a way to trace an anonymous email back to the sender, using the sender's IP? It is not spam, as it was personally directed to me. I tried to track the IP but it takes me to a generic provider like yahoo.com, and I assume the provider won't disclose that information.
I'd like to actually see the account holder contact information, location, etc. It might be useless as the person probably used fake information, or a more savvy one used things like proxies, Tor, so forth.
Aside from the Federal level (who might force the provider to release info), I assume there is a way people like private investigators get it done. Paid online services? It's just a prank, but it sparked my curiosity about IP tracing. Thanks for your feedback.
Hi guys, just come across this thread and found it interesting. Just two weeks ago I was sent an anonymous email (from a hotmail account) with some incredibly hurtful information included, all of which is lies!
I've replied to the email to ask why they send this and heard nothing back.
If there is anyone on here who thinks they may be able to help me trace the sender, I'm willing to pay. I just need to know, for my own peace of mind.
If anyone would mind talking to me about this, I would really appreciate it. I'm no IT specialist!
Best wishes everyone.
I think anything short of a court order will fail to get a e-mail provider to turn over a client's IP address. However, a court order usually does the trick.
Google's policy on requests for user data is to follow the domestic laws in which their clients are based. Therefore an IP located in the United Kingdom is subject to the same laws that govern how warrants are used to search a physical location. At least, that's my understanding of it.
That said, if you have an individual's e-mail address, it's fairly easy to acquire their IP, but you should be extremely judicious, and ethical, about how you use this information. It also may not work if they don't read the e-mail or have HTML disabled.
With slight modification, you can embed
code that performs IP tracking from Mixmap.com's MySpace tracker.
It can go directly into your e-mail (this should work but I've never
used it in this way) or (as it's designed) directly into a website. To
find out an IP, you would send an e-mail to the address in question
either with a link to the website you created or modified tracking
code. If they clicked on it, or enabled HTML, it should give you their
IP address (which is going to be available to you through your account on the Mixmap website).
Good luck!
Thanks a lot!
Try this:
it won't trace the IP address but it would output some useful information
There is no way for you or anyone else to trace email based on the IP address. No provider would ever disclose the information you're seeking, since it would be a felony crime, one with mandatory prison time. They aren't going to jail for your curiosity.
No federal agency can force the disclosure of this information, either. Unless a judge can be convinced there is probable cause to believe the sender is engaging in a criminal activity, nobody could possibly get a court order to reveal the information to law enforcement, and they couldn't tell you even if they did get it.
But that won't happen, since all reputable service providers would go to court to quash any such request, and they have far more money and time than the federal government.
Makes perfect sense! I appreciate your detailed response.

A Chicago police officer has been charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of a 17-year-old last year and faces up to life in prison, authorities said Tuesday.
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - NOVEMBER 24 - The charges against the officer were announced a day before the city planned to release a video that captured the shooting, footage that officials worry could lead to intense protests.
Officer Jason Van Dyke is believed to be the first Chicago police officer charged with first-degree murder in more than three decades, according to the Chicago Tribune.
The officer should absolutely be charged.You won't get closure unless there's a trial. That's our system. Jesse Ventura wasn't able to clear his name until he had a trial.
Until there's a trial, everything else is irrelevant. I advocated for a trial in Ferguson, Missouri, and I'll advocate for this trial in Chicago. We need these trials, because that's where evidence is put on the table, and it's argued back and forth. That's our system of justice.
That was a huge mistake when the Grand Jury did not order a trial in Ferguson. Now you're left with that hanging forever. No one will ever know the entire truth, because no evidence was ever submitted in a courtroom. All you have hearsay. That's not evidence.
I'm very pleased that this case went to trial, that's where it belonged. You have to have a system, and you have to rely on that system to work. And that system ONLY works if we take part in it! When you get called for jury duty, don't try to get out of it. It's your job! That's what makes the system work, if people do what is required of them.
- Jesse Ventura
Should the officer have been charged with first-degree murder? Sound off below!
