now is a good time to start thinking like a ham. simply short out a winding, or 2, or 3...? to get your f up, it will still give you proof of concept. Minor L/D issues wont kill the project.
Very curious to hear what the status is on your effort @LeeBob84. I have a son who's wanting to build something significant in the area of energy, etc. this summer together with me and this has been on my list of things to build if someone has actually seen some results.
I've been a bit disappointed that it seems life has overwhelmed you at present with regards to finishing this project out and seeing any results. I can most certainly understand the draw on time and thus why I'm looking for confirmation due to the significant time investment that it could take before jumping in with both feet.

The reason the TC can have a remote receiver and actually receive 'power' is because with tesla the coils are effectively splitting a coupled resonant tank circuit in half then moving them apart using the earth as a connecting wire between the 2 and a capacitive coupling through the air.
From Prof. Dr.-Ing. Konstantin Meyl
Tesla's the receiver completes or is the second half of a single resonant tank circuit which is why you get high power from it at a distance. Everything gets transferred since it operates as a single coil that is simply separated or split in 1/2.
In the the case of the resonant stick, it completes or is its own circuit, (so to speak), so you cant build another radio tower in the far field that is an exact replica of the first and transmit 'power' to it, because the design is not a coupled design, however you can use it to transmit a signal that that decreases like any other other transverse wave at the square of the distance and a coil that can resonates at the same freq can pick up and receive very low energy signals, enough to power your headset.
Lighting an incandescent bulb in far field using a signal from a stick in the air cant happen where as in teslas split coil design it can.
Stifflers 3 coil SEC circuit is fascinating and his design methods should be used for more efficient tc's imo since we are trying to tune to the environment around us.
The circuit appears to take existing rf noise and tuning what he calls a spatially a resonant tank to it. I hazard to say it may have possibilities if you can tune that to a nearby radio station with build a big enough tank. Now you use the self resonant tank to trigger off the radio signal, which may, that is 'may' possibly be capable of building big enough to actually light an incandescent bulb in some fashion. I get this vision of a 60 cycle spatially resonant tank, 50 for you LOL
The cool thing is that it demonstrates how particular and precise one must be to actually get these high z devices to work, not the typical cobble jobs with completely faulty measuring techniques we usually see out here. Its not in making perfect calculations either, that only gets a person close because every environment has too many undetermined variables, its like tesla pointed out, its an art which to me means the fine tuning is done by feel, and of course now days with a scope and spectrum analyser etc..

more in depth explanation to the difference in the transmission.
So to illustrate the point I am trying to make more clearly I took some time to dig up a couple schematics as to why you cannot light a bulb in far field with a standard broadcast transmitter:
Teslas transmiter receiver operates like this:
Spigel has a nice picture that I cropped to show that tesla transmitter is based upon
a tank circuit that stretches out over miles by an interconnecting wire with full circulating
power resonating between the 2 halves:
and of course he has a nice video:
Basic Tesla's Experiments (Part 1) - 100W Wireless Transmission without Ground Connection
Now lets look at a broadcast antenna circuit:
all you have is a tiny load matching circuit so you dont cook your transistor or tube, which works like this:
The rod for a monopole or in this case a dipole is the resonator now you can flip that to vertical to get:
The principal of operation of a standard broadcast transmitter is completely different. Teslas transmitter was not intended or designed to 'radiate' an infinitely 'expanding' wave front where the output disperses decreasing by the square of the distance, it was designed to resonate between the 2 halves which allows for nearly complete power transfer between them with very minor losses.
You can calculate the 'maximum' current of a standard broadcast rig based on the field strength, distance, length-area of the metal of your receiving rod antenna or coil that can be actually be struck by the passing waves.
For a broadcast antenna its the maximum tube/transistor output that translates into actual radiated power.
For ideal transmitter rig+antenna etc, everything set up perfect with perfect conditions;
For actual radiated wattage of 100,000w using a dipole, typical efficiencies can be seen up to 70% max unless they are doing something new I am not aware of, roughly input power of 130,000 watts.
For 130,000 watts input, thats 220vac and 590amp service requirements.
For 2000meters (Approx 1 mile)
.00329 Watts/m^2 (with dipole 2.19gain)
They have a handy calculator here:
No energy is reflected back to be circulated in a resonant tank with the standard broadcasting transmitter rig like there is with a pair of TMT/Rs, the radiated waves from SB simply keep right on going to infinity.
If Tesla is correct and I fully expect he is, the only losses you would see from the TMT's would be primarily from the ground resistance, say if you have 1000 ohms over a distance of the same mile, since the earth in an ideal situation would be a dead zero ohm short between the 2 two towers.
Radiation dispersion
In standard broadcast the waves pass and keep going, how much power you get is dependent on how big your antenna is, whereas with tesla its dependent on the amount of power your tank is capable of building up between them. Teslas system is captive, broadcast is not. For teslas the energy does not escape, it is received and sent (reflected) right back to the transmitter as a result of resonance contrary to the standard broadcast rig which continues to infinity.
In broadcast the transistor (or spark doesnt matter) directly drives a resonant rod that is cut to 1/4 wavelength, its for all intents and purposes a power driven tankless output which is decoupled from the receiver, hence will not transmit 'power', only information. I was severely ridiculed, ostracized and branded as an ignorant heretic who had the audacity to defy god because I didnt buy the wooden nickels or waste my time in an exercise of futility with this frivolous challenge which is why no one has seen much of me around here or any other overunity forum for the last several years. I assure you that no one has or will ever light a several watt incandescent bulb in the 'far field' (like you can with the tesla desgn) from a standard broadcast tower with a standard receiving tuning coil or tesla type coil arrangement tuned to its broadcast frequency unless they are transmitting 5 billion terrajiggawatts in which case you would not be able to place your receiving antenna near it without being nuked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5cYgRnfFDA The only thing the 2 designs have in common is they are both 1/4 wavelength. Now if we jump back to stifflers work, he is taking a -70dbm (presumably a signal) and magnifying it to light I think he got as high as 28 leds with it, definitely 1, with no power source connected, and its been replicated.
Begs the question, and I will leave you with this thought.....what if we had a wardencliffe driven by an equally sized stiffler circuit
Unfortunately its the main objective of governments and profiteers et al, to insure and enforce commercial intercourse. (at 'any' cost) and one way to accomplish that is lead people down a path of failure so they dismiss the whole concept, and I am almost too old to care. Probably not the response you expected.

Well, there's no polite way to say this so I'll just cut to the chase - Konstantin Meyl is absolutely wrong. A transmitter and receiver is not two halves.
Tesla gives one description, Meyl gives another. It works like Tesla says it works, no more pondering necessary. That is absolutely obvious to anyone who uses it, there's no possibility of coming to false conclusions unless one is literally blind to the truth of what's right in front of their eyes. Throw the Meyl books in the trash where they belong, he's only causing people to be confused.
How does Tesla's hand pump analogy to describe the operation of his own system fit with the false information that Meyl is spreading?
The information is modulated power.
The amount of power received is not a matter of the amount of space or air or distance between the transmitter and the load. For those who don't listen to Meyl, it's no surprise at all that what determines the amount of power received is ONLY the distance between the GROUND TERMINAL of the transmitter and the load. The load doesn't care how far away the transmitter is in space, it only cares about the ground terminal.
It's not one half of a complete circuit. It already IS a complete circuit. It's a single wire transmission system. The transmitter and receiver are merely transformers. What is the purpose of transformers in the existing power distribution network? ...

First that appears to be an artists conceptual drawing and interpretation of what tesla is doing not something tesla would have drawn?
Would you explain what we are looking at here and its operation and if it differs how it differs and how it fits into the one transmitter no receiver required for the whole world concept:
Arent both the above single wire transmission?
That looks like a single wire receiving coil to me?
What do you believe is wrong with meyls explanation (and why) compared to teslas?
What do you believe is misinformation from meyl? That the 2 coils can operate together in a long distance coupled fashion?
Teslas hand pump analogy is synonymous with the huge circulating currents that can be built up in a tank circuit, and the earth is in his design is part of a gargantuan tank circuit which can build up gargantuan currents.
What did tesla mean by 'with a self-inducting' coil? What kind of coil is that?
So I agree 'in part', that part being that the TMT can operate by itself with things close by, however as you can see from meyls experiments that when he turns on the receiver it completely pulls down the transmitter, hence a coupling effect that is impossible to get in a standard broadcast situation, because in a standard broadcast situation you can have a trillion antennas receiving the signal with no pull down of the transmitter. Please explain How you made your conclusions.
Have you taken your light bulbs a mile away? I need a plethora of full explanations to supprt what you are saying so I hope you have the tenacity to respond to all these questions/points I am making without skipping any, I have no problem what so ever with blunt, I am the king of blunt

Good day,
What i really don't understand is why do people use such high frequencies (example: 1860K cycles/second, 560kcycles/s etc.) when Dr.Tesla said very clearly that TMT works at frequencies from few to thousands of hertz. Actually, i think he said that the MT works at frequencies below 20KHz. I don't think that we nowadays have the true schematic diagram of the MT as Dr.Tesla intended it to be. What we have is the ''Apparatus for transmitting electrical energy'' patent No.1,119,732. That's all we have and this installation naturally won't work at frequencies below 20kHz. Even the way it is drawn shows that the frequency will be in the range of tens of kHz to few hundreds of kHz judging by the ratio of the resonator. But that installation is not the Magnifying Transmitter. It is yet another device for the transmission of electricity through the ground. Very useful indeed.

In truth now, the flat spiral transformers are very good when you put a HF power amplifier and a signal generator. Then you go full wireless. The bigger the power stage, the better.
Nowadays we have not the technology to create massive power stages in the range of many millions of watts for those types of transformers. Humanity has a very poor education and an even poorer understanding of science. Not in vain prof. Dr. Dollard spent 10 years on the streets, homeless.
The HF transformer with resonator which many beliieve to be the Magnifying Transmitter (and which is not) i think works just like i said above: a frequency generator followed by a voltage amplifier, followed by a power amplifier of many megawatts. A power amplifier that can output many thousands of volts at hundreds of amps current and a proper waveform, probably a square wave will be the best. Then and only then we will be able to supply with electricity even a plane or, better, a spaceship or reasonable size, when the flying vehicle will have a receiver on board. Dr. Dollard should immediately look into this and pour his mathematical understanding into such a project.

Tesla did not have modern amplifiers to work with and there is none in his design. The 'Magnifying transmitter' is teslas description of the operation of his invention. A modern amplifier is not required, all you need for massive power is a massive generator and a spark gap, in fact a modern amplifier cant begin to approach the power levels of a generator and spark gap. Are you musing?

I wish it was that simple...
''a massive generator and a spark gap''... are you really serious?? Do you even know that you need a SPECIFIC frequency for TMT or tthe flat spiral transformers? Do you understand that? What can I do with a spark gap? Unless the spark gap is one specifically designed so that it will have a rotating part with segments and it will charge and discharge a capacitor. The frequency produced will be a function of inductance in centimeters of the primary coil, capacitance of the capacitor, number of segments of the
rotating spark gap, the speed of the electric motor. That is one of Dr.Tesla's patents, a mechanical oscillator. There are even equations that can be used to create such an oscillator and the discharging circuit. The frequency produced is very specific, vary accurate, needless to say that such an oscillator is best when you want to transmit electricity through the ground to different distant locations.
Mr. Eric Paul Dollard is more than a simple electrical engineer. He is the brightest man i have seen since Dr.Tesla and Dr. Steinmetz.
What i said earlier is of great importance to me. Even someone who holds so many wrong views like Konstantin Meyl, demonstrated that using a power amplifier and a signal generator, one can transmit through the Aether electrical energy , without the use of a single wire. Think about an installation such as the ''Apparatus for transmission of electrical energy'' of Dr.Tesla, attaching a power stage of millions of watts, what we will be able to do. Power up space ships and entire cities with energy and the distribution system will be 100% immaterial. The Aether is immaterial. The only problem is that we don't have a power stage of millions of watts yet... and i profoundly doubt that the Government of USA will just stay with it's hands in it's pockets and let us play with such technologies. Hell, the death of John Bedini and his brother might have been an assassination.
Experiments have to be made, that's for sure. A flat spiral trafo. has two frequencies of resonance. At one of them, electricity goes through a wire or ground. At the other, if one has a power stage, from the transmitter to the receiver, electrical energy goes through the Aether in the form of a perturbation of longitudinal nature with instantaneous propagation. This small argument has a lot of weight and power in the scientific world. But nowadays ''scientists'' are a little more than apes with stone brains. Too bad, too bad. I'am really sorry.

''Regardless of what people think of Meyl he is a professor and does have a doctorate and is a teacher with academic credits'' ---- aaaaa, so according to you, Meyl who is deluding himself and others too, has the right to teach others and Dr.Dollard who is a real scientist cannot. That's what you want to tell me. Right?
Uhg, I thought I was bad with the edits
Meyl has agreed with tesla however that the scalar wave is 1.5 times faster then the speed of light.
Meyl has 'demonstrated' and as far as I am concerned 'proven' by demonstration the transmission of power using a TMT experimentally so I am unable to determine 'exactly' what it is you think he is doing wrong? I proposed specific questions to Dr Green to that effect.
Above please refer to the lecture Meyl gave along with the accompanying demonstration. I have never seen 'any' demonstration from epd on the 'TMT' but I would like to if you can find one especially if he made one that proves meyl wrong. If you really want to get my attention maybe you can get epd to demonstrate for us how to light a 100 watt incandescent bulb far field with a crystal radio and standard resonating rod broadcast radio station as the source?
You have not responded to the questions I asked Dr Green here in post 71 Eric's "Crystal Radio Initiative" Challenge pertaining to where Dr Green believes meyl is wrong, so it seems you may be talking about something completely different?

The propagation of light through the Cosmic Aether is instantaneous. Light has no speed.
Indeed, Dr.Tesla said that through an inductor which has an inductance and a natural capacitance between the turns such as a flat spiral transformer, the current travels at a certain speed. This speed is given by a mathematical law. The speed will depend on certain things in the circuit, such as inductance and natural capacitance. This is the speed of a Transverse Electro-Magnetic current. This type of electric current indeed has a speed. On the other hand, the Longitudinal Magneto-Dielectric current propagates instantaneously, meaning the constant 186,000 miles/second has nothing to do with this. Einstein of course said nothing about such an electric current and therefore it is not accepted by the clergy with stone brains.
'' Meyl teaches at the University of Applied Sciences in Furtwangen and has written peer reviewed papers'' --- so not only that he is deluding himself, now others just like him are working at the same delusion. How can blind people see light? At least he brought me some benefits by showing the working patent of Dr.Tesla, the true genius. I remember that i saw one video of Mayl on YT platform and he talked about some particles like ''neutrinos'' and some sub atomic particles which are all garbage and on this nowadays ''science'' relies upon. Meyl's colleagues go on ranting about how the Aether is an illusion and ''pseudoscience'' and so on. How can someone believe such things? Have you even heard about the book ''The manufacture and selling of saint Einstein''?? You give me your e-mail address and i send this book to you.
In this world the Truth never belonged to the mainstream. Only few courageous people who dared to confront the world found the Truth. The mob is easily indoctrinated and manipulated by the leaders. I rely not on ''the scientific community'' for it is full of mad man and mad women.
Part 1
This is also why Meyl's coils work "inside shielding" as he calls it, but that's simply because the shielding is totally irrelevant and it's not doing anything, the energy isn't even trying to go that way. Like wearing sunscreen at night.
TheMage00000 - YouTube ). Basically it shows a 3rd coil at the transmitter site with a discharge at the top terminal of the transmitter in to it like a giant spark gap. He's using it to try to maximise the activity on the ground terminal/in the ground. That 3rd coil isn't relevant to the basic working principle or theory, it's just to illustrate a certain possible configuration when looking for methods to improve upon the basic effect, because as he writes he had funding issues so had to come up with ideas to somehow get the lower frequencies he wanted without it being massive and costing millions.
Rare notes from Tesla on Wardenclyffe | Tesla Universe
It's like you're jumping up and down in a swimming pool, and you're causing waves which propagate along the length of the pool, reflect off the far end and come back to you. Then someone drops a rubber duck into the water at the far end of the pool. The rubber duck starts to move up and down on the waves that you created on the other end. The duck isn't a requirement of a waving pool, it's just oscillating in unison with the waves you create. So in this way it's easy to see how a SINGLE TERMINAL/single wire transmission system works, why any coil can be "shielded" with a Faraday cage or isolated "in space" as long as it's connected (or coupled) to the earth so the oscillations can enter, and why Tesla used a hydraulic hand pump analogy, because it describes perfectly what's happening. There's no need for any of Meyl's theories on it, coupling through the air doesn't even enter one's mind because it's clear that's not what's happening.
As for Meyl, in one breath he says the energy is going from one coil to another through the wire, and then he puts a metal box in between them and proclaims "the energy can't be shielded". Well no, he just said so himself, the energy is going through the wire. Doesn't take a genius to then figure out why "it can't be shielded" with a piece of metal between them He contradicts himself right there and apparently doesn't even notice, or at least doesn't remind everyone of the importance of the wire in that situation. He's promoting the space between the coils as having significance, when it doesn't. It's all about the wire which he forgot about in the space of 30 seconds.
He also seems oblivious to the effect that putting his hand near the capacitance terminal of the coil would have on the tuning. He calls putting his hand near it "shielding" because the output of the LED diminishes when he puts his hand there. I call it "detuning", because that's exactly what it is. My coil does it when I walk within 2 metres. I can also stand between the transmitter and receiver and nothing happens at all, because I'm not close enough to affect the tuning of either one, and the energy is going through the wire that I have connecting them, so my standing there doesn't make any difference. Same experiment, different results - because I'm aware that holding my hand 10cm away from the coil is obviously going to have an effect, as are many others who have ever built a Tesla coil. So why someone as intelligent as Meyl doesn't realise or acknowledge this basic fact is anyone's guess. What's the reason for claiming that he's shielding the transmission?
He just seems to have this idea that the air/space plays a role, so he's coming up with explanations that fit inside that even at the cost of being full of easily identifiable contradictions. Maybe he's correct within a certain context, but as I've said before, if Meyl wants to describe what Meyl does, then good for him. But if Meyl is describing what Tesla did, then he's totally wrong and he's spreading false information.
Probably the most curious thing of all is why should the energy want to flow from "ground" to an elevated piece of metal, or human body, and do work in the process, when it seems so much easier to just not do any of it.
Can you see what's happening at 7:00 in my video clearly enough? The energy is going from the ground end of the coil to a 20cm length of 6mm diameter stainless steel rod pushed in the plastic bucket of soil. A stainless steel bowl is placed next to the bucket and is connected to one terminal of a bulb, and the other terminal is connected to a larger stainless steel bowl. Energy flows from the soil, couples with the small bowl, for some reason wants to also flow to the bigger bowl, so much so that it goes through the resistance of the filament causing it to heat up and produce light. Adding bigger pieces of metal on the far end of the filament will cause even more energy to flow through and light even brighter. Meanwhile, the bucket of soil itself is resting on a concrete floor at ground level and is most likely coupling to the earth also, so not optimal conditions for doing an isolated experiment.

Dr. Meyl's Experimental Kit and Observations I Made
I own one of Meyl's experimental kits (and extra parts I bought from his group to hook up multiple receivers), and confirmed his kit does transfer energy in a way we were never shown in Electrical Engineering school (I got an A in fields and waves class circa 1985). What Dr. Meyl says in his thick book which I purchased then read the whole thing, is correct based on my knowledge so far; I like how his vector math taught me the principle why vdivB is not zero as schooling incorrectly taught me divB is always zero (the v is also missing, I added that back in after doing the math myself). The I-V phase I do measure as 90deg in longitudinal mode both at transmit and receive ends where my measurements convinced me that all of the energy transfers to one or more receivers I connected (Meyl's kit operates at around 7MHz in longitudinal mode and around 4MHz in transverse mode). In the 180deg or transverse mode touching the receiver upsets and detunes the circuit, whereas I observe that the receiver when tuned in the kit's longitudinal mode does not care if I touch its scatteron (a scatteron is the metal globe). When I add my own halogen bulb on Meyl's receiver and drive Meyl's transmitter with a power amp the interaction is more complicated but Meyl's kit does light it up and create fields high enough to burn skin by touching it lightly (small surface area). I use a generator and power amp rather than Meyl's weak little generator included with his kit.
Dr. Meyl's kit does clearly demonstrate for me operation outside of the near-field lambda/6 in longitudinal mode ~7MHz. In transverse mode ~4MHz energy drops off rapidly as expected. I actually have a bunch of unpublished reports I wrote for myself documenting all the tests I did before embarking on making my own scaled-down version kit which works as hoped, and talks to Meyl's kit because (I designed mine to be the same as his frequency and it is close enough to interact with Meyl's). Thanks to Steve Jackson for helping me realize to alternatively use pulses instead of sine waves!
Dr. Meyl's kit does have quirks and I do believe there is something going on with atmospheric pressure to change its behavior somewhat. Too bad we do not have the appropriate electromagnetic simulator and are stuck with Ansoft HFSS and Maxwell that are not designed for longitudinal wave analysis from what I was able to learn working (training) with their engineers.
The main thing I learned that is not obvious with Dr. Meyl's kit, is the connecting wire needs to avoid coupling to earth or the kit does not transfer power at these very low voltages. I looked hard to see what Meyl was doing and I think he might have been stringing his connecting wire overhead in the gym photo I saw with a kit in there, to avoid its giving up the energy to the earth.
My suspicion is high voltage is required to break down the interface or work function between particles and make the earth into a wire, like Tesla intended. Alternatively my suspicion is an aquaduct is required at the transmitter wire as Tesla put a long shaft into the earth from my understanding. My experiment of placing copper wires into a grassy field where I tested Meyl's kit using a UPS floating supply, failed until the wire was lifted off the earth. I confirmed this again by placing copper strips on the concrete slab at my lab used as a connecting wire, where similarly the system fails to work and I have to lift the wire up off the earth to avoid coupling and losing the energy.

Coupling to the earth does have a negative impact on output relative to isolated experiments, but even Meyl's coils should still be able to produce the effect at low voltages, it's just harder to see, and may take some tuning to find. But what I said above regarding grounding/ground plane applies exactly for this reason. In fact you may notice in the video that the wire connecting to the receiver picks up the signal from the earth without even being connected to the ground rod, because the wire is resting on the earth.
On the subject of Meyl's coils, does he mention anywhere what the conductor length on his coils is?

More LEDs lit through the earth, this time using Colorado Springs coils. 2:30 = shielding?! (I'm standing between the transmitter and receiver, but the terminals can still see each other ). Sorry, I just find it totally bizarre that he thinks that effect is somehow a shielding or blocking of the transmission from one coil to another.

Sorry for taking so long to get back, and double sorry that I forgot where tesla said it himself that a scalar wave is developed when you have a 'set' of coils. You can only run it in radiation mode as one coil. If you have not read this it documents many of teslas experiments with the results and logic behind his reasoning.
https://books.google.com/books?id=xMlnQQm_tgoC&pg=PA225&lpg=PA225&dq=tesla+ selfinducting+coil&source=bl&ots=cF8kgXQXWt&sig=PC 03mQn9HOOuQ9rWiZiQetBosO8&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjs 1dW1qKfaAhVo4YMKHVhXDEkQ6AEIKzAA#v=onepage&q&f=fal se
for Meyl he is agreeing with tesla and did the shielding trick to prove tesla had a scalar wave through the ground. To do this he dropped the receiver voltage down so the leds would 'just' light up. Then he shielded it at both frequencies and at the scalar freq they stayed lit and at the Hz freq they died out.
If we agree that the TMtransmitter is the 'source' of energy then regardless of what happens with the frequency putting an increasing load on the receiver coil 'must' result in pulling more energy from the transmitter. I think he did this by connecting the ground between them. This will not happen with a standard broadcast transmitter.
Another problem I have is that everyone makes 'near field' measurements which are not valid. We have to be well greater than 1 wavelength with the receiver to insure here is no radiating em-interference. So for your device that would be upwards of 150 meters away.

Collin Cowgill sounds like a Texas radio personality or a DC Comic character, but is actually the Diamondbacks' fifth round pick from 2008 that is killing the minor leagues. (That's the urbandictionary killing, which is actually good. I'm hip, snitches!) In 97 games, 13 homers and 29 steals with a .354 average. It was in the PCL though, where they pump helium into their stadiums. And, now, guess what? Well, he's getting called up, I mean that's obvious, isn't it? Why else am I talking about him? In deeper leagues, I'd grab Cowgill to see if he can translate his power and speed combo to the majors. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Ian Kinsler – 4-for-6, 4 RBIs and his 16th homer. Andrus went 3-for-6, 2 RBIs; Hamilton 2-for-4, 3 RBIs; Napoli 4-for-5; Cruz 4-for-6; Young hit a homer. Frankly, the Rangers scoring summary was denser than David Foster Wallace footnotes.
Chris Davis – 0-for-6 while the Rangers scored 20 runs. That is an incredible ticker tease. It almost seems mathematically impossible it's so epic. Though Davis is more like a career tease. He wears low cut skirts and a chastity belt. (BTW, Davis also had two errors. Too bad none of my fantasy teams have a slot for a futility player.)
Pedro Alvarez – 1-for-3 yesterday as he was promoted after Alex Presley was seen leaving the building. I think the Pirates and Pedro agreed to forget that the first half ever happened. Pirates collective voice, "Pedro, just hit like you did last 2nd half. We'll blame the first half on one of the many subpar 3Bs we've had over the years. Pedro Alvarez, nah? That was Jose Hernandez. Or Andy LaRoche. Or Jose Bautista– Oops, can't use that one anymore."
James McDonald – 5 1/3 IP, 0 ER, 8 baserunners, 9 Ks. He was in last Friday's Buy/Sell. He was on the left side, which is the right side. Weird!
Chipper Jones – 2-for-4 with a slam and legs as he returned from the DL. Unfortunately, this is Glass Chipper we're talking about and he was removed from the game with a tight quad. I'd say he's day-to-day, but with Chipper it's more like minute-to-minute.
Cliff Lee – 4 IP, 5 ER vs. the Padres in Philly. Imagine the Padres called a hitter-friendly stadium home? Then they'd have mediocre pitching to go along with mediocre hitting.
R.A. Dickey – 6 2/3 IP, 2 ER, 9 baserunners, 7 Ks vs. Mike Leake (6 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 10 baserunners, 3 Ks). How do they have a Dickey/Leake matchup and not have former Reds pitching coach, Dick Pole, throw out the first pitch? Okay, okay. Instead of saying a ball was hit up the middle, the announcers should've said it went through the vas deferns. All right, all right. When Dickey was facing Leake, did he shake off the curve? Okay, that's enough. Geez.
Jason Isringhausen – Got another save, but you should wait until the trading deadline to drop Parnell. That's me reiterating me!
Dan Haren – 7 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 5 baserunners, 10 Ks. Finally someone snuck in and changed his calendars back to June. See, you don't need acne to get proactive.
Jason Kubel – 2-for-4 and a homer. I'm not a huge fan, but if you're struggling for power, wouldn't hurt to try Kubel.
Ezequiel Carrera – 0-for-3. Know what would be utterly fantastic? If the guy whose name is Spanish for squirrel, would run like one. Stop worrying about your Amish morals and steal a base, Ezequiel!
Fausto Carmona – 6 IP, 0 ER, 7 baserunners, 3 Ks. I wouldn't own Fausto in any league so this isn't about him. Do you get the sense the Indians are hoping they lose some games so they don't have to pretend to trade for players?
Carlos Lee – 1-for-4 with a grand slam. 2nd day in a row with a homer. Looks like Chuck Lee is the Flavor Flav of the week for power.
Colby Rasmus – 1-for-3, 3 RBIs with his 2nd homer in two games. You can keep beating down Colby, but he's a Survivor.
Yadier Molina – The youngest member of the Flying Molina Bros. has now hit a homer in three straight games.
Lance Berkman – Big Puma is out for a day or two with a rotator cuff strain. Coincidentally, my Mercury Cougar's out for a day or two with an alternator issue. Nothing a little mustache grease can't fix.
Jose Altuve – 3-for-4, now hitting .412 since his call up. If you're having issues with your middle infidel, could be worth the flyer.
Mark Buehrle – 6 IP, 0 ER, 11 baserunners, 4 Ks. Season ERA at 3.22. Him and Danks are like Trader Joe's wine. Are you impressing anyone with it? Nope, but it does get the job done and it's not as bad as you think.
Sergio Santos – Didn't get the save because Ozzie had Sale open the ninth in a 3-run game. After the game, Ozzie tweeted, "My H2H opponent has Santos. #sorryputas"
Juan Pierre – 2-for-5 with his 16th steal and 12th caught stealing. Jonah Hill in Moneyball would not be impressed.
Jason Vargas – 4 IP, 4 ER. I said this last time, but not everyone reads every day. I get it, you have to tend to your crops in Farmville. Either way, Vargas is no longer ownable in most mixed leagues.
Kevin Youkilis – Left Monday's contest with hamstring tightness. The Jewish Youkilis should know better than to mess with hamstrings.
Desmond Jennings – 2-for-4 with his 3rd steal. I'm gonna photocopy Jennings' face onto a thousand doilies and fashion a dress out of it, then walk around singing, "Don't mess with my Desmond Tutu!"
Rubby de la Rosa – 6 IP, 1 ER, 7 baserunners, 5 Ks. Now has an ERA of 3.49. I have my shades drawn so my solar calculator doesn't work, but could someone tell me the collective ERA for all starters in the NL West?
Aaron Harang – 6 IP, 4 ER, 10 baserunners, 2 Ks. The Harangutan now has 9 wins and a 3.45 ERA. Boy am I glad I drafted Liriano!
Cameron Maybin – Out for a few games with a strained hip flexor. When he returns, his coming up to bat song will no longer be The Twist.
Kyle Blanks – 7 Ks in 13 ABs. He fills in the blanks with K's. Yi_es! Quit stri_ing out, you motherfuc_er!

The F12berlinetta's 200-bar, direct-injection 6262 cc 65° V12 delivers absolutely unprecedented performance for a naturally aspirated 12-cylinder engine in terms of both power and revs.
It has a maximum power output of 740 CV at 8250 rpm, while its specific power output is 118 CV/l, a record for this kind of engine. Responsiveness and strong pick-up are assured by maximum torque of 690 Nm, 80 per cent of which is already on tap at 2500 rpm.
Exceptional strides have also been made with regard to fuel consumption and emissions both of which have been slashed by 30% to 15l/100 km and 350 g/km of CO2, making the F12berlinetta a benchmark for its reference segment.
Its wheelbase is also shorter, the engine and driver seat have been lowered and the rear in more compact thanks to the new suspension and gearbox layout. It is a shorter, lower and narrower car than the previous V12 coupé.
Weight distribution is ideal too (54% at the rear) while the centre of gravity is lower and has been moved rearwards in the chassis. The F12berlinetta's spaceframe chassis and bodyshell are both entirely new. In fact, they incorporate no less than 12 different aluminium alloys, some of which have never been used before in the automotive industry.
Various assembly and component joining technologies are also used. This has helped keep the car's weight down (to 1525 kg) and maximise the efficiency of its performance (torsional rigidity has been increased by 20 per cent). The F12berlinetta's aerodynamics were developed hand-in-hand with its styling, and incorporate a wealth of innovative solutions.
These include the Aero Bridge, which uses the bonnet for the first time to create downforce, and Active Brake Cooling, a system of guide vanes on the brake air ducts which open only if brake operating temperatures are high enough. The result is that it is the most overall aerodynamically efficient Ferrari ever, a fact attested to by a figure of 1.12 (double that of the 599 GTB Fiorano) with Cd of just 0.299 and downforce of 123 kg at 200 km/h.
The fruit of the collaboration between the Ferrari Style Centre and Pininfarina, the F12berlinetta's styling focuses on brilliantly balanced proportions. It has an original, innovative look with many signature elements from the Ferrari 12-cylinder tradition. The car is clothed in sleek, aggressive lines and despite its compact exterior size, offers an absolutely superb standard of in-cabin space and comfort.
The rear of the F12berlinetta is characterised by a modern, functional reinterpretation of the Kamm tail which seamlessly integrates the two vertical fences of the rear diffuser. The resulting original T-shape also incorporates two full-LED circular tail-lights and the clearly F1-inspired rear fog light.
The F12berlinetta's technical spec is completed by the very latest carbon ceramic braking system (CCM3), Evolution magnetorheological suspension (SCM-E) and advanced vehicle dynamics control systems (E-diff, ESC, F1-Trac and performance ABS).
The controls are integrated in a single, faster ECU with model-based software.

Robb Report
The F12berlinetta is a perfect balance between proportions and aerodynamic efficiency.
DISCOVER THE F12Berlinetta
Volumes have been reduced to a minimum to enhance sportiness and efficiency. The interior space has been optimised to provide both a sporty driving position as well as guarantee maximum comfort. A perfect balance has been struck between advanced technologies and sophisticated, beautifully hand-executed detailing, both of which are intrinsic to Ferrari's DNA.
The design's strongest feature, however, is the logical, ergonomic layout of the various functions within the cockpit: the essential architecture embraces and enhances the Human Machine Interface which allows the driver to reach all of the controls without taking his hands off the steering wheel and displays all of the information he requires directly ahead.
The tunnel console is both light and functional. The central bridge incorporates the F1 gearbox and hazard warning light buttons, and is one of the cabin's signature elements.
The main objective with the F12berlinetta's seats was to reduce their volumes as much as possible to ensure freer occupant movement within the cabin while, at the same time, ensuring they are extremely comfortable and respect lateral containment geometries.
The headrest is fully integrated into the backrest, giving the seat a very modern, track-inspired feel.
The rear of the cockpit features an upholstered rear bench with leather luggage straps to hold bags securely in place
The F12berlinetta's design strikes the perfect balance between maximum aerodynamic efficiency and the elegant proportions typical of Ferrari's front-engined V12 cars. Its designers and engineers worked in tandem to sculpt its surfaces so that they seamlessly incorporate the car's many innovative aerodynamic solutions by "subtraction" rather than having it bristling with different appendages.
The result of this collaboration is an innovative system of air flows which make this car absolutely original and unique, a true marriage of technology and aesthetics, an essential requisite for all Prancing Horse cars in which form and function are inextricably linked.
The F12berlinetta has low, sleek coupé lines with powerfully sculpted flanks whose contours curve and dip to channel the air flows from the bonnet.The two aerodynamic channels, created by reducing the volume between the wings and central bonnet bulge, pass below a bridge in the area between the front wheelarch and the bottom of the A-pillar, before flowing into scoops in the flanks, lifting and lightening the car's side volume.
The front of the car is dominated by an imposing grille that draws air into the engine bay to cool the V12.
On either side of it are electronically-controlled guide vanes which help cool the brakes. This is an original, active aerodynamic solution as when closed they cut drag and when open guarantee optimal brake cooling.
The rear of the F12berlinetta is characterised by a modern, functional reinterpretation of the Kamm tail which seamlessly integrates the two vertical fences of the rear diffuser.
The resulting original T-shape also incorporates two full-LED circular tail-lights and the clearly F1-inspired rear fog light.
THE 6262CC 65-DEGREE V12 IS THE MOST POWERFUL NATURALLY-ASPIRATED V12 YET. MAXIMUM POWER IS 740CV FOR A SPECIFIC OUTPUT OF 118CV PER LITRE AND 690 NM OF TORQUE.Read more
Maximum power is 740CV for a specific output of 118CV per litre and 690 Nm of torque. 80 per cent of that torque figure is on tap from 2500 rpm, giving massive acceleration right the way up to the 8700 rpm red line.
Just like Ferrari's F1 engines, the V12 boasts very low levels of inertia to ensure that the engine revs rapidly. Development concentrated on a number of areas, including the compression ratio which has been increased to 13.5:1.
The lower crankcase was completely redesigned to help reduce the car's centre of gravity (the engine sits 30mm lower and further back in the chassis compared to the 599 GTB Fiorano). The V12 feeds power to the rear wheels through the dual-clutch F1 transmission which gives instantaneous gear shifts.
Internal friction losses have been reduced to a minimum and innovative technologies have been employed (such as the multi-spark ignition function which implements three successive sparks of different intensity and duration) to reduce fuel consumption by 30 per cent compared to the 599 GTB Fiorano depsite the increase in power and torque.Close
THE F12BERLINETTA'S SPACEFRAME CHASSIS BODYSHELL ARE COMPLETELY NEW AND USE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGIES, MANY OF WHICH ORIGINATED IN THE AERONAUTICAL INDUSTRY.Read more
This has helped keep the car's weight down (50 kg has been saved on the body-in-white alone which equates to a saving of 90 kg if the previous chassis were re-engineered to meet crash legislation) and maximise the efficiency of its performance (torsional rigidity has been increased by 20 per cent).
Crash resistance (lateral pole impact and roof roll-over) is already in line with future legislative requirements and particular attention was taken during the design phase to improving production quality, and minimising repair times and thus costs for the client.
These were to reduce overall weight, lower and move the centre of gravity rearwards in the chassis, and reduce the car's frontal area whilst contemporaneously increasing passenger and luggage space compared to the previous V12 coupé to ensure maximum comfort over lengthier journeys. To achieve these objectives, the engineers lowered the engine, dashboard and seats.
Furthermore the rear of the car is now more compact, thanks to the repositioning and reduction in size of the fuel tank (permitted in part by a more efficient engine which delivers the same range as before) and to the new transaxle layout allowed by the rear multi-link suspension and F1 dual-clutch transmission with integrated electronic differential.
Rather than a traditional separate boot, the F12berlinetta features a generous tail-gate incorporating the rear screen which contributes both to the compactness of the design, and the generous luggage space and its accessibility, while ensuring maximum structural rigidity.
This solution also ensures that more of the car's mass sits inside the shorter wheelbase to the benefit of handling dynamics.
The end result is a car that's lighter by 70 kg with a centre of gravity that's 25 mm lower. It's also shorter (-47mm), lower (-63 mm) and narrower (-20 mm) compared to the previous V12 coupé.
The rear overhang has been greatly reduced (-82 mm) while the front one has been estende (+65 mm) to accommodate the cooling systems required for the powerful V12 engine. Weight distribution is ideal - 54% at the rear – and is unmatched by competitors within the segment.
THE F12BERLINETTA'S AERODYNAMICS WERE DEVELOPED HAND-IN-HAND WITH ITS STYLING, USING CFD (COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMIC) SIMULATIONS ALONG WITH MORE THAN 250 HOURS OF TESTING IN THE FERRARI WIND TUNNEL.Read more
The result is that the F12berlinetta is the most overall aerodynamically efficient V12 Sport in the Ferrari range ever, a fact attested to by a figure of 1.12 (double that of the 599 GTB Fiorano). Downforce has been boosted by 76% (123 kg at 200 km/h) while drag has been significantly reduced too (the Cd is just 0.299).
The F12berlinetta's exceptional aerodynamic efficiency is the product of a series of innovative features. The first of these is the Aero Bridge, an innovative solution that uses the bonnet in downforce creation for the first time.
Equally, air passing over the upper part of the car is drawn into special air intakes in the rear wings, altering the pressure in the wheel well, before exiting through the Blown Rear Diffuser.
The car's flat underbody has also been significantly evolved. The front splitter is now separate to the bumper, in fact, and this generates downforce whilst simultaneously directing the air flows towards the rear extractor, improving efficiency. The generous rear diffuser and its four fences contribute to the significant increase in downforce too.
Its system of guide vanes on the brake air ducts opens only in certain conditions, such as, for instance, if brake operating temperatures are high enough.
When it comes to integrating fluid dynamics and thermal management, however, the central air vent on the bonnet boosts the efficiency of the cooling system and also helps lessen the impact of the air on the windscreen at high speeds, creating a cushion that deflects the natural air flow.
WITH A FIORANO LAP TIME OF JUST 1' 23'', 0-100 KM/H ACCELERATION IN 3.1 SECONDS AND 0 TO 200 KM/H IN 8.5 SECONDS, THE F12BERLINETTA IS THE MOST HIGH-PERFORMANCE CAR IN FERRARI HISTORY.Read more
On top of pure performance figures, however, it is also incredibly fluid and intuitive to drive, thanks to its unique handling which inspires confidence at all speeds, not just on the limit on the track. This was achieved thanks in great part to the development work carried out on the layout which has helped the car take a massive leap forward in terms of agility and responsiveness, even at slower speeds, a characteristic more in keeping with mid-rear-engined cars until now.
In addition to this, however, all the car's sub-systems were developed and integrated with each other specifically to achieve these goals without compromising on high standards of occupant comfort.
The latter include springs and dampers, wheels and tyres, yaw control systems, such as the E-Diff, traction control (F1-Trac), Stability Control (ESC), and auxiliary braking systems, such as ABS/EBD, which work in coordination to transfer torque in the most intelligent and efficient way possible to get the most out of the performance available.
The new carbon-ceramic braking system (CCM3) benefits from the latest developments, including a new material mix for the rear pads and an optimised cooling system derived from Ferrari's F1 experience, along with the Active Brake Cooling at the front. Combined, these improvements eliminate fade and deliver excellent stopping distances (131 m from 200 km/h, an impressive 7-metre improvement on the 599 GTB Fiorano).
It also sports the new SCM-E magnetorheological dampers which have twin solenoids and a new ECU with upgraded software. The system uses a fluid whose viscosity is altered by an electronically-controlled magnetic field generated inside the damper.
This in turn translates into faster response times and more precise bump control which improves both performance and ride comfort.
Benchmark performance is marche by outstanding driver involvement courtesy of later braking, quicker turn-in, higher entry speeds and greater lateral acceleration through bends.
The car requie less steering input at the wheel during cornering, there is better traction accelerating out of bends and braking distances are drastically reduced too.
F12BERLINETTA'S CABIN DESIGN FEATURES A CUTTING-EDGE LOOK THAT IS UNDERSTATED YET SOPHISTICATED. VOLUMES HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO A MINIMUM TO ENHANCE SPORTINESS AND EFFICIENCY.Read more
The perfect balance between advanced technologies and the sophisticated, beautifully hand-executed detailing of the Frau leather interior reflects the values that lie at the core of Ferrari's DNA.
The design's strongest feature is the logical, ergonomic layout of the various functions within the cockpit: light and essential architecture embraces and enhances the Human Machine Interface, which places all the major controls on the steering wheel, and displays all the main information in the main binnacle straight ahead.
The elimination of the indicator stalks and the clustering of all driver commands on the steering wheel underscore the car's link to the world of racing. More ergonomically efficient F1 paddles and the fact that the driver can reach every single control with his hands firmly on the steering wheel rim ensure maximum performance is achievable in any driving condition.
The dashboard is dominated by air vents of a new and innovative design. Of aeronautical inspiration, they are compact and are made from carbon-fibre and aluminium alloy.
An optional display is available for the passenger-side dash and keeps the passenger actively involved in the whole driving experience. The tunnel console is both light and functional.
The central bridge incorporates the F1 gearbox and hazard warning light buttons, and is one of the cabin's signature elements. Below it is an Alcantara®-lined oddments storage space and there is also a cup-holder. The tunnel console is completed by a longitudinally adjustable armrest which is hinged at the side to facilitate access to the storage compartment beneath where there is also a convenient USB port.
The F12berlinetta's door panels have a fluidly dynamic line and again are designed around the logical arrangement of their main features: armrest, door handle, tweeter, speaker, airbag and leather pocket. The panel's central trim section allows ample scope for personalization in terms of both finish and materials. Options include aluminium borders designed to underscore the panel's characteristic lines.
The F12berlinetta's Racing manettino puts the emphasis on sporty driving on high grip surfaces, offering drivers ample scope to adjust the electronic control system settings. On the dashboard, the right-hand satellite pod features the controls for the corresponding TFT screen which displays infotainment information.
It is also used to control the sat nav, stereo with audio streaming via Bluetooth, voice-activated track, artist, album and song title selection. It is also possible to use a smartphone to connect to internet to listen to web radio, podcasts and download Apps.
When activated in the RACE, CT-Off and ESC-Off manettino modes, it makes driving even more involving, as well as safer, by keeping the driver informed of the optimal conditions for the car at all times.
A special algorithm estimates the car's status (brake, tyre and engine temperature) on the basis of various dynamic parameters (lateral acceleration, longitudinal acceleration, speed, engine revs). It will then alert the driver to the aforementioned conditions using the following messages:
The main objective with the F12berlinetta's seats was to reduce their volumes as much as possible to ensure freer occupant movement within the cabin while, at the same time, ensuring they are extremely comfortable and respect lateral containment geometries. The headrest is fully integrated into the backrest, giving the seat a very modern, track-inspired feel.
The rear of the cockpit features an upholstered rear bench with leather luggage straps to hold bags securely in place. Occupant space is generous indeed – the seats are comfortable for individuals up to 1.95 m (6'4") – as is the boot (320 litres). Luggage space can be increased to up to 500 litres by lowering the rear bench panel, which makes the F12berlinetta ideal for longer journeys in the company of a passenger.
The F12berlinetta's 6262cc 65° V12 Engine delivers unprecedented performance & revs for a naturally-aspirated 12-cylinder.

Chris Mooney | February 9, 2011
By Chris Mooney • Wednesday, February 9, 2011 - 08:10
The big news so far from the current hearing before the House Energy and Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Energy and Power—concerning the so-called "Energy Tax Prevention Act of 2011"—is that Senator James Inhofe, the leading climate change denier in the U.S. Congress, has a book coming out.
Inhofe had crossed chambers to testify in favor of the new legislation, which he co-authored with Energy and Commerce chair Fred Upton and subcommittee chair Ed Whitfield, and which would block the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act. And in response to a question from Upton, Inhofe took the opportunity to mention his book, telling the committee that he just finished it and that it will be entitled "The Hoax."
The title, presumably, refers to Inhofe's most (in)famous statement: His 2003 claim that climate change is the "greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people." I suppose it's kind of like Carl Sagan entitling one of his last books Billions and Billions. Sagan didn't like being remembered by that phrase, which he'd never actually uttered–but it's much better than the one Inhofe is going to be remembered by, and did use to dismiss climate change.
But book or not, what's most striking about the hearing underway right now is the central role Inhofe was given–not just to lead it off, but to pronounce definitively on the technical issues at stake, both economic and scientific.
The purpose of the legislation in question is to block the EPA from moving to regulate greenhouse gases, which it is on the path to doing based on the agency's scientific determination that they endanger public health and welfare. In order to question EPA's expert science, then, you'd think you would at least need dissenting scientists. And there are plenty of those around, including those "skeptics" who just signed a letter to Congress making their standard arguments.
But in a departure from standard Republican strategy, the hearing today doesn't even have skeptical scientists on the docket. Instead, it offered Inhofe as a kind de facto expert on environmental science, policy, and economics.
As Rep. Bobby Rush of Illinois put it, in a question to Inhofe himself: "Don't you find it strange that this hearing is being conducted with no scientists at all?"
Don't get me wrong—Inhofe is well versed in these issues and speaks confidently and expansively about them. But his views on the science and the economics alike are not only non-expert; they've been documented extensively, by myself and many others, to misrepresent what experts actually think.
That continued today, as Inhofe asserted that the findings of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change had been "totally debunked" by the 'Climategate' scandal, and called mainstream climate science "phony." Later, he also said he disagreed with the National Academy of Sciences' "interpretation" that global warming is caused by human activities.
Nevertheless, my sense from watching the first hour of the hearing is that Inhofe's fellow Republicans have come to view him as the grand don of climate change skepticism in the Senate. They not only trust him, they defer to him. What Inhofe says is good enough for them–and on that basis, they'll make decisions affecting the entire planet.

i'll give you one inhofe for
i'll give you one inhofe for one browner and one jackson. all serve their purpose for their respective sides, no?
I am so sick of these dishonest, greedy subversives we have for politicians. How can we be ruled by people who mouth the same cynical lies as Russian dictators?
I used to vote for the Republicans until Climategate happened. When I looked into that story, I realized the Republicans–my party–were lying to me. They were trying to TRICK me, not the scientists. The denialists call the scientists communists when really these denialists are the ones who use the Bolshevik tactics of intimidation, threats, slander, and the big lie. The denialists are the subversives, and our scientists are the patriots who are trying to defend our country and civilization.
Senator Inhofe says global warming is a hoax. I already read that global warming was a hoax in Pravda and in a 9-11 Truth newspaper, too. [truthers believe that President Bush masterminded 9-11.]
Russia's President Medvedev, the former head of Russia's state-controlled Gazprom, claimed that global warming was a "trick" when he visited Tomsk, the same city where the stolen and mischaracterized Climategate emails were posted on the server of a Russian Internet security company.
The Kremlin-friendly Russian business daily Kommersant also defamed the British climate scientists. Kommersant is owned by Asher Usmanov, a sinister Russian billionaire who does special operations for Gazprom. He has an education and career that suggest he had ties to the KGB. The "expert" Kommersant cited was the economist Andrei Illarionov. He used to be an adviser to Putin and he worked for Chernomyrdin, the head of the Soviet Gas Ministry and later the head of Gazprom, the post-Soviet successor to the Gas Ministry. Then Andrei Illarionov became an expert for the CATO Institute.
Virginia's Attorney General Cuccinelli cited an English-language RIA Novosti adaptation of the Kommersant article in his suit to the EPA as evidence that the British scientists were falsifying data from Russia.
RIA Novosti is the official press agency of the Russian government; and since the fires, the party line has changed.
I think I will believe the scientists who say there is global warming instead of Pravda, the Truthers, the Gazprom gangsters, the CATO Institute, and the greedy Inhofe. I think I will believe US scientific and security agencies like the Pentagon and CIA. I believe with American experts who say that global warming is a threat to our national security.
That "ex-CIA operative" Kent Clizbe also claims that the scientist Dr. Mann is a fraud and is making a campaign of kompromat against Dr. Mann. He says he is ex-CIA, but he is acting like a KGB operative with his campaign of defamation.
Clizbe is supposedly writing a book about communist influence in the USA. Russia has a new ruling party now called Unity. Putin is the Chairman of the Unity Party. Gazprom, which is majority government-owned, is also very powerful and owns many newspapers and TV stations.
Perhaps Clizbe should read what the Russian media was writing after the Climategate emails were stolen. This clueless "ex-CIA operative" might finally notice that he is spouting the Russian line about our "greedy climate scientists." All these people who accuse the scientists are collaborating in a propaganda campaign to defame our scientists in order to protect the gas companies. Some of this propaganda is coming from Russia, but it also comes from US politicians in the pockets of the fossil-fuel industry.
This kompromat campaign is similar to the KGB propaganda campaign to blame the AIDS virus on the "crafty plots" of Pentagon scientists who supposedly made AIS to kill black people.
Even the KGB finally admitted they made up that BIG LIE and this was published right in Izvestia:
"[KGB chief Yevgeni Primakov] mentioned the well known articles printed a few years ago in our central newspapers about AIDS supposedly originating from secret Pentagon laboratories. According to Yevgeni Primakov, the articles exposing US scientists' 'crafty' plots were fabricated in KGB offices."—Izvestiya (3-19-92)

of all the posts you 'allow' here this one gets thru? this is one confused hombre who gives new meaning to the term ad hominem. let's talk about the science. let's talk about the models. let's talk about the greenhouse effect. lets talk about what consensus mean. but let's not talk about the kgb and aids. why did this poor soul not mention the killer bees and bird flu?
Nice rant...
I dunno… I thought it was a nice rant. Very emotional, sincere. He may be spraying wildly, but a few hit the target.
Inhofe "rant"
All of this information is documented on my blog. These are facts. I read the Russian media all the time. If you need links ask me. I just think that people don't appreciate too many links.
Cuccinelli and Inhofe cite Andrei Illarionov, who is an economist/propagandist with ties to Putin and Gazprom. Cuccinelli's EPA suit cites Russia's official press agency RIA Novosti which is citing Illarionov in Kommersant. Inhofe cites Illarionov directly.
Illarionov has a "think tank" in Russia and also works for the Cato Institute.
Since the forest fires the Russians are talking about global warming in the media, and Presient Medvedev says it is happening. Russian scientists are discussing the issue in the media.
Years ago, the KGB even hired outside experts to research the topic. The CIA and KGB even worked together on this problem in the 1990s.
Inhofe "rant"
I talked about the KGB AIDS campaign because it is the most famous smear campaign of US scientists in modern times. This denialism is the same sort of smear campaign.
The AIDS campaign wasn't just something the KGB cooked up. They got some of their ideas from Western conspiracists.
Look up "Operation Infektion." The CIA has an unclassified study about this campaign that is instructive.
I could talk about Stalin's doctors' plot, but that was in the 1950s. The Russians often eventually publically denounce their own anti-science campaigns.
Cuccinelli cited the Russian media, but now the party line has changed.

Straight talk irks Canucks
Milbury comments cut down Sedin duo
Mike Milbury was not available for comment yesterday, the Versus/NBC analyst en route to Vancouver in advance of tonight's Game 5 of the thrilling Stanley Cup Final between the Bruins and Canucks.
The former, at least, is good news in Vancouver, where they weren't exactly putting down the welcome mat for Milbury at the airport. His commentary about the Canucks has raised the ire of Vancouver fans and media, particularly with his comment Wednesday night about the Bruins' effective physical approach to defending high-scoring Canucks twins Henrik and Daniel Sedin during Game 4:
"By all means, stay in the face of Thelma and Louise — I mean Henrik and Daniel. Get in their way, make them pay. This series is starting to go our way.''
Now, by saying "our way,'' Milbury wasn't implying that he's in the Bruins' corner; he frequently frames his comments by saying what he would if he were Claude Julien or Alain Vigneault. But an extensive search is not required to understand why Vancouver media and fans are claiming bias: Milbury played for and coached the Bruins and has served as a NESN analyst since 2007.
And his "Thelma and Louise'' comment — referencing the 1991 movie starring Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis — clearly irked the Canucks, who were made aware of it following Game 4.
"I have no comment,'' said Daniel Sedin, according to a story by The Province's Tony Gallagher. "That's so bad.''
"I couldn't care less about Mike Milbury and his analysis,'' added defenseman Kevin Bieksa.
Never mind that Thelma and Louise were actually pretty tough and could probably convert on better than 5 percent of their power plays. Milbury has been on a Tim Thomas-like roll recently, and his I'm-going-to-say-what-I-believe approach makes for outstanding television. Versus and NBC want him to be entertaining and opinionated, and that is precisely what he has been. Consider two of Milbury's other greatest hits during the Final:
■On Canucks nuisance Alexandre Burrows escaping suspension after biting Patrice Bergeron during Game 1: "If I had known in the late '70s that it was OK to pig out on human flesh, I would have eaten Guy Lafleur. This is a disgraceful call by the league. This guy should have been suspended. They're impacting this series by a non-call. It was not very courageous.''
■On the Bruins scoring four goals in the second period to break open Game 3 (his comments came during the second intermission): "What you've done tonight so far is sent a message to this smug, arrogant group from Vancouver that you want it more than they do. There comes a time, maybe with five minutes left in this game, maybe with seven minutes left, that you get a chance to send a message to someone who maybe didn't get it. That's what I'm going to say to this team.''
While Milbury's words have generated plenty of buzz as a central element of Versus's terrific coverage so far, it's neither his commentary nor the other enjoyable aspects of the telecasts (if there's another announcer who is as skilled at calling a particular sport as Mike Emrick is at hockey, please share the name) that have local fans tuning in at record rates.
The Bruins have captured the imagination of Boston fans during this postseason run, and Versus continued to benefit in Game 4, earning the highest local rating ever for an NHL game on the network with a 23.64 household rating in the Boston market. That topped the 23.37 that Game 3 delivered in Boston.
Marv still marvelous The popularity of play-by-play broadcaster Gus Johnson, particularly among younger demographics, is no mystery; his enthusiasm for the game at hand matches and likely often exceeds that of the viewer at home.
It seems genuine enough; let's put it at 75 percent in-the-moment amazement, 25 percent this'll-get-me-on-YouTube shtick.
That connection with viewers is a major reason Fox quickly hired Johnson for a prominent role calling the NFL and college basketball after he departed
But it must be said that CBS upgraded in essentially replacing him this week with Marv Albert, who will call NFL games (presuming there are NFL games this year).
Albert, who called NFL games for NBC from 1979-97, will continue in his lead role on TNT's Thursday night NBA coverage. He will also continue to call NCAA men's basketball tournament games for CBS and Turner Sports.
Johnson deserved the acclaim he got at CBS, and he's a good fit for Fox. But Albert, an all-time great still on top of his game, is an upgrade on just about anyone he follows. That includes Johnson.
Big pregame plans With no Red Sox game Monday, NESN is ramping up its Bruins coverage even more for Game 6 at TD Garden, adding a 90-minute pregame show to the lineup.
Anchor Kathryn Tappen will be joined as usual on set by Gord Kluzak and Barry Pederson, while Tom Caron and Andy Brickley will be live from FanFest.
Caron, recognized nowadays for his duties on Red Sox pregame and postgame programming, used to host the Bruins pregame show.
The last time Caron held the gig full time, in 2004, his analyst was Cam Neely, who seems to have found his post-playing-career calling elsewhere.

The stap program is the front-end to the Systemtap tool. It accepts probing instructions (written in a simple scripting language), translates those instructions into C code, compiles this C code, and loads the resulting kernel module into a running Linux kernel to perform the requested system trace/probe functions.
SystemTap provides free software (GPL) infrastructure to simplify the gathering of information about the running Linux system. This assists diagnosis of a performance or functional problem. SystemTap eliminates the need for the developer to go through the tedious and disruptive instrument, recompile, install, and reboot sequence that may be otherwise required to collect data.
We have several developers who use stap. Usually it works out of box. For example following program prints hello world on screen if SystemTap and related packages are installed:
stap -e 'probe begin { log ("hello world") }'
However under CentOS Linux version 5 (RHEL 5), you will get an error as follows:
semantic error: libdwfl failure (dwfl_linux_kernel_report_offline): No such file or directory while resolving probe point kernel.function("sys_*")
Install kernel-debuginfo package
To get rid of this problem, you have to simply install kernel-debuginfo package:
# yum install kernel-debuginfo
Please note that the installed kernel-debuginfo package must be for the same kernel release level and processor, so you may have to enter the following command:
# yum install kernel-debuginfo-KERNEL-VERSION-NUMBER
Hope this troubleshooting tip will help you out while working with systemtap (stap) scripts.

Actor Warren Stevens dies at 92
Known for sci-fi roles in film and on TV
By Variety Staff
Actor Warren Stevens, who appeared in films including "Forbidden Planet" and "The Barefoot Contessa" and in numerous TV shows ranging from the original "Star Trek" to "ER," died in Sherman Oaks, Calif., of lung disease on Tuesday, March 27. He was 92.
Stevens was one of the stars of the 1956-57 NBC series "Tales of the 77th Bengal Lancers" and of the 1969-70 NBC series "Bracken's World," set at a fictional Hollywood studio, but his career in television was defined by guest starring roles in dozens and dozens of series, from Westerns such as "Wagon Train," "Have Gun -- Will Travel," "Gunsmoke" and "Bonanza" to sci-fiers including both the original and 1980s version of "The Twilight Zone," "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea," "Land of the Giants" and "Star Trek" to crime or spy dramas including "The Untouchables," "The Man From U.N.C.L.E.," "Mission: Impossible" and "Ironside." He also guested on "MASH" and made his final TV appearance in a 2006 episode of "ER."
Stevens first appeared on the smallscreen in three episodes of the very early anthology series "Actor's Studio" in 1948-49 and earned his first film credit on 1951's "The Frogmen," starring Richard Widmark and Dana Andrews. The actor appeared in seven films in 1952, including the Humphrey Bogart newspaper film "Deadline -- U.S.A.," in which he had a significant supporting role as a reporter.
He appeared with Bogart again in 1954's "The Barefoot Contessa" and was the fourth lead in 1956 sci-fi classic "Forbidden Planet," playing the doctor, Lt. "Doc"' Ostrow. Later film credits include Norman Jewison's "40 Pounds of Trouble," with Tony Curtis and Suzanne Pleshette; 1966 Lana Turner weepie "Madame X"; and 1983 Burt Reynolds starrer "Stroker Ace."
Born in Clark's Summit, Penn., Stevens attended the Naval Academy but left before graduating due to problems with his vision, though he later served as a pilot in the U.S. Army Air Corps during WWII. He developed his interest in acting while at Annapolis and did summer stock before entering the service during the war. After WWII he returned to summer stock, worked in radio and joined the Actors Studio in New York. He made his Broadway debut in "Galileo," which had a brief run in 1947, and appeared in several other plays on the Rialto. His small but important role in "Detective Story," which later became a film, led to a contract at 20th Century Fox.
Stevens was twice married and divorced. He is survived by three sons, Adam, Matthew and Lawrence.

First Church of Nashua
My husband is Catholic, and there were two Catholic parishes in Londonderry, so it was easier to attend mass then to travel all the way to Nashua. However, we still occasionally attend services in Nashua, and I love the ministers and their sermons. One day I was reading the church flyer and the history of the church surprised me. It was founded by Reverend Thomas Weld of Roxbury. I knew that was the name of one of my ancestors, so after church I hurried to my files to see what information I could find.
The church flyer said that Thomas Weld was ordained the day the First Church of Nashua was gathered, on 16 December 1685. The current building dates from 1894, and is the tenth building to house the First Church congregation. I found this Thomas Weld in my notes, as the 2x great grandson of my ancestor Thomas Weld (1595-1660). Reverend Thomas 5 Weld (Thomas 4, Thomas 3, Edmund 3, Thomas 1) removed from Roxbury (outside of Boston) to Dunstable, Massachusetts in 1683. It was a settlement near the Merrimack River that is now Nashua, New Hampshire. It was considered a real pioneer town on the border of the unknown frontier in those days.
According to the cousin calculator on Family Tree Maker, Reverend Thomas Weld is my second cousin eleven generations removed. I descend from Edmund Weld (1559 – 1608) and his wife Amy Brewster through their son, Joseph Weld (1598 – 1646) and his wife Elizabeth Shatswell. Reverend Thomas Weld of Dunstable descends from Joseph's brother, Reverend Thomas Weld (1595-1660) . It was a long line of Reverend Thomas Welds. Now you know why I had to go look him up in the notes!
The Weld Lineage.
Generation 1. Thomas Weld, born about 1532 in Sudbury, Suffolk, England and died on 8 April 1597 in Sudbury; married Margaret Unknown who died 13 July 1593 in Sudbury.
Generation 2. Edmond Weld, born about 1559 and died about 1608 in Sudbury, Suffolk, England; married on 12 April 1585 in Sudbury to Amy Brewster.
Generation 3. Reverend Thomas Weld, born about 1595 in England, baptized in Sudbury, Suffolk, England on 13 July 1595, died on 23 March 1660/1 in London, England; married first to Margaret Unknown; married second to Judith Unknown, buried on 4 May 1646 in Gateshead, Durham; married third to Margaret Unknown.
Generation 4. Reverend Thomas Weld, born about 1626 in Terling, Essex, England and died on 17 January in Roxbury, Massachusetts; married on 4 June 1650 in Roxbury to Dorothy Whiting, born about 1628 in England and died 31 July 1694 in Roxbury, daughter of Samuel Whiting.
Generation 5. Reverend Thomas Weld, born 12 June 1653 in Roxbury and died on 9 June 1702 in Dunstable, Massachusetts (now Nashua, New Hampshire); married on 9 November 1681 to Elizabeth Wilson, born in September 1656 in Medfield, Massachusetts and died 19 July 1687, daughter of John Wilson and Sarah Hooker (daughter of famous founder of Hartford, Connecticut, Reverend Thomas Hooker).

It's so nice when we have enough information on our ancestors to be able to find relatives and connections wherever we go!ReplyDelete
I descend from John Wilson and Sarah Hooker as well.ReplyDelete
I too love the connections.ReplyDelete
Great find Heather.ReplyDelete
The organist/choir director Joseph Oleferiwicz grew up next door. From time to time he invites our daughter Rebecca to sing at services, weddings and she has performed with him in the Summer Concert Series.
I love that the clue happened to be in your hand! And, that you remembered the potential connection. Congratulations on a fabulous find, Heather!ReplyDelete
Happy for you! Oh..wait so many more emotions! Envious (check); coveting (check); ungrateful (check- only made it to the 1700's on most of my lines); thinking seances aren't a bad idea (check)!ReplyDelete

The death of two giraffes that once belonged to Michael Jackson has prompted PETA to call for the relocation of the remaining two animals.
This is not PETA's first warning.
"Back in 2008, we wrote a letter to Michael Jackson urging him to take responsibility for four giraffes who once lived at Neverland Ranch after we received many complaints from citizens concerned about the giraffes' well being at their new home at the preserve," PETA said in a news release on Wednesday.
U.S. & World
The two giraffes died within the past seven weeks at Banjoko Wildlife Preserve in Page, Ariz.. Jackson sold the giraffes back in 2005 in the wake of his child molestation trial in 2005, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Investigations into the deaths are under way, and once completed, the reports will be compared for any possible connections, the Arizona Daily Sun reported.
Freddie Hancock, of the preserve's parent Voices of the Wild Foundation, confirmed the deaths but denied any allegations of mistreatment.
"Those animals are well taken care of. They are not neglected. They are not abused. They are in appropriate facilities. The facilities have been inspected by USDA and the Health Department. There is absolutely no basis for any of these allegations," Hancock told FOX News. "The animals are in a safe environment. They have somebody with them 24/7. They are being taken care of properly. These animals were part of our family."

MOSES LAKE A 23-year-old man has been sentenced in federal court to five years in prison for distribution of child pornography.
Benjamin James Brekke of Moses Lake will also have a life-term of court supervision and be required to register as a sex offender, U.S. District Court Judge Thomas O. Rice ordered.
Brekke was convicted of the crime in February.
Court records show Brekke, of Oct. 17, 2013, distributed approximately 11 graphic child pornography images of an infant in a car seat being forced to perform oral sex on an adult male to an undercover employee working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The following day, he was arrested and federal authorities obtained search warrants for Brekke's cell phones, where more than 1,500 images of child pornography were located.
"Prosecuting offenders who are not only collecting child pornography, but also distributing child pornography images is a priority of the United States Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of Washington," U.S. District Attorney Michael C. Ormsby said following sentencing. "This office, together with its federal and state law enforcement partners, is and will continue to be committed to prosecuting aggressively and seeking appropriate punishment for child pornography crimes."
The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephanie J. Lister.

All health centres in Uruzgan closed after Taliban threat
All health centres in Uruzgan closed after Taliban threat
TIRINKOT (Pajhwok): After 'a serious warning' from Taliban militants, all health centres in central Uruzgan province have been closed, local residents said on Saturday.
Over the past few days, dozens of health centres were shut down in Trinkot, the provincial capital, and districts. The Civil hospital in Tirinkot situated 10 metres from the governor's house was also finally closed today (Tuesday).
Residents, patients, and public representatives lashed out at the government for failing to prevent the successive closure of health clinics.
Nani, a patient who had come to Tirinkot, said he was told activities in the hospital had been suspended and patients were not being checked. He said the hospital was closed due to Taliban's warning.
According to him, dozens of ailing men and women admitted in the hospital were all expelled today morning.
Another patient, Naqibullah, confirmed all patients were discharged from the civil hospital following Taliban's threat. He said currently no medical centre all over the province was open to take in aling people.
A member of the provincial council member, Abdul Karim Karimi, urged insurgents to allow the hospitals to resume services.
He said the Taliban had ordered closed all hospitals across the province and the incompetent provincial government was doing nothing to deal with the situation. According to him, currently all health centers in the province were non-operational.
Uruzgan civil hospital director Dr. Aminullah Tokhai said they shut the hospital's doors on Saturday morning after he received a recent threat from the Taliban.
He said he had shared the issue with government officials a few days back, but they didn't cooperate and did nothing in this regard.
Tokhai didn't clarify the reason behind the Taliban's warning, but he was told if he didn't close the hospital, his name would be added to the insurgents' blacklist.
