Pre-race routine:
Stress a bit, go to the restroom 2 times, then relax under a tree.
Event warmup:
Swim 2 minutes (wished I did more!!)
As usual, my goggles keep fogging before the race start, despite all the measures I have tried to avoid that (anti-fog products, spit, lick, etc) which always make me stress a bit before the start.
I had to stop a few times to remove the water of my goggles. I did not hold my crawl the whole time; did a bit of side crawl and backstroke. But this time I did not panic and it went a lot better.
What would you do differently?:
More warmup inthe water; Make sure my goggles are not leaking before the start. I really need to find a way to prevent my goggles from fogging.
Transition 1
My damn time chip did not register the end of my swim. So there was one official running after me in T1 giving me another chip. Lost a lot of time there. I did the remaining of the race with 2 timing chips.
What would you do differently?:
Make sure my timing chip registers well before race start.
My fastest bike ride of the year, including all of my training sessions. I was on fire that day on the bike. I passed a lot of people there. making up for my slow swim.
What would you do differently?:
Nothing! I just hope I can do it again :)
Perhaps the only thing I would change is not slowing down that much when arriving near the end of the course. I got stock in a pack slowing down way too soon.
Transition 2
I had cramps in my calves during T2, so I decided to stretch my calves before starting the run. I lost a few positions there.
The idea of walking kept coming back at the beginning of the run, but I told myself maybe a 100 times: "Walking is not an option". I allowed myself to slow down but never stop running. That's good because most people I passed were people walking.
The only problem is my injury, (iliotibial muscle syndrome) keeps bothering me during the run.
What would you do differently?:
Try to hold my pace.
Post race
Warm down:
Walk around with my "Finisher's medal" hehe :)
What limited your ability to perform faster:
The swim is where I have the most potential to cut minutes off my total time. I really need to get better in this discipline.
Event comments:
I will really try to make the 2 other chapters of the T-REX serie.

Music itself was untuned, corrupted, and returning to chaos.
It is as though the jar given to the nervous system had untuned us for the entire world, and all things come amiss.
Then again the voice of Peter Altmaar was heard, now ringing false like an untuned fiddle.
Like untuned golden strings all women are, Which long time lie untouched, will harshly jar.
When he came up, he saluted them in a harsh and untuned voice, but with a civil air.
Again and again that shout arose, till the wild birds rose screaming over our heads, in untuned, yet exciting chorus.
Her voice shrilled suddenly loud and harsh, like an untuned string under the bow.

Good morning everyone! Here is today's Daily Briefing.
The Morning Call runs two stories on how the state budget-impasse is affecting local schools. In Bethlehem, the Bethlehem Area School District may see $3.5 million in cuts, as no funding has come through for some of these programs yet. State subsidies also haven't come through for local day cares, resulting in massive problems for that industry as well. And in Allentown, WFMZ runs a story on crime in Allentown - Mayor Pawlowski says crime is down, while his opponent in the upcoming election, Councilman Tony Phillips, says its up.
And, in national news, while things seem to be looking up, the federal government is warning against jumping the gun just yet, saying they aren't ready to call it a recovery just yet.
Business Matters aired yesterday - the topic was voter apathy in America. You can catch the show online later tonight, or check out the Business Matters blog for more information.
And that's it! Have a great day.

The development version of Galacticus (v0.9.3) gained a nice new feature today - the ability to compute the evolution of cosmic background radiation self-consistently from the population of galaxies formed in the model. This is in preparation for a summer project (part of Caltech's SURF program) looking at the reionization of the Universe. For now, it's a relatively simple treatment - it include only the contribution from stars (no AGN), doesn't consider factors such as escape fractions or reprocessing of star light by dust - but it works! Here's the results of a test model in which the Universe gets reionized at z=10:
To carry out this calculation we added some useful new technical features to Galacticus. It's always been possible to attach "events" to halos in a Galacticus merger tree - when the halo reaches the event, some action is triggered before the halo is allowed to continue evolving. Now, it's possible to attach events to the entire universe of merger trees in Galacticus (and also to individual trees, but that's another story). Such a "universe event" causes all merger trees to halt at the event time. In the case of this background radiation calculation, universe events are used to halt the evolution of merger trees, compute their net emissivity, evolve the background radiation, and then let the trees evolve further until they reach the next universe event. Galacticus handles all of this transparently - it normally tries to evolve one tree at a time and then destroy it in order to keep its memory footprint small, but if a universe event is added it will process all merger trees simultaneously. This uses more memory, but allows for calculations that depend on the properties of the entire population of galaxies across all merger trees.
Look for more results utilizing this background radiation calculation later this year!

State Sen. Berry endorses Bettencourt for Peabody mayor
Posted by Justin Rice October 19, 2011 07:23 AM
"Ted Bettencourt combines the experience, professional skills and temperament required to be a successful mayor in these challenging times," Berry said in a statement released early this morning. "Ted is intelligent, hard working and, most importantly, he has the ability to bring people together to solve problems and to work with people at all levels of government and the private sector.
"That's the kind of mayor Peabody will need to drive its future."
Last month, Bettencourt's opponent, Sean Fitzgerald, was endorsed by Peabody Mayor Michael J. Bonfanti. Fitzgerald was Bonfanti's chief of staff from 2001 to 2008.
What began as a cordial race, quickly became chippy over the last month. A few weeks after Bettencourt charged Fitzgerald with plagiarism on his website, Bettencourt said Fitzgerald distributed "misinformation" about him.
The candidates will debate for the final time at 7 p.m. tomorrow night at City Hall.
A lifelong Peabody resident, Berry noted that he has not traditionally made endorsements in Peabody's mayoral elections.
"Government resources are shrinking and the economy continues to lag putting more pressure on cities like Peabody," he said. "The future belongs to cities with mayors who can build public -private partnerships with business, who can work with every sector of the city to solve problems and who can skillfully manage and expand resources available to the community. Ted Bettencourt is that kind of respected leader and strong team builder.
"I am confident that Ted has what it takes to renew a can-do spirit and momentum in Peabody and is clearly best choice for Mayor."
Bettencourt, who is currently serving his fourth term as a councilor-at-large on the Peabody City Council, said he was honored by Berry's endorsement.
"Surely, Sen. Berry has been an extraordinary champion for Peabody and has done more for our city than people will ever know," Bettencourt said. "I think we share a concern for our city's future and a determination to rekindle a cooperative effort and community spirit that defines what Peabody pride truly means. I am grateful for his support and look forward to working with him to achieve Peabody's goals."

If either Barack Obama or Mitt Romney wins, there is unlikely to be any significant change in America's India policy post 2013. Given the scale of economic problems facing the US, India is not going to be a very high priority for some time but there is little likelihood of a downgrade in India's importance, says Harsh V Pant.
Just a month back it had seemed as if US President Barack Obama would have a smooth sailing for a second term at the White House. He was leading in the polls, the Democrats had succeeded in painting his opponent, Mitt Romney, as a gaffe-prone bumbler out of touch with ordinary Americans and the economy was showing signs of recovery. And then something rather unexpected happened.
The first presidential debate was to be a turning point. Obama, widely considered a great orator, failed to connect with the people. His passive performance proved disastrous as Romney came out all guns blazing and changed the course of the election campaign. Romney emerged as a smart, confident politician who was able to provide credible answers and the contrast with President Obama was categorical. Those who were tuning into the election campaign for the first time seriously had no difficulty in envisioning a Romney presidency.
Since then it has been all downhill for Barack Obama. He has lost his lead in opinion polls and the race has tightened to a point where panic has set in the Democratic Party. The second presidential debate last week did not much help Obama as it was widely seen as a draw between the two candidates.
It was in this context that the final debate on foreign policy held earlier this week assumed great significance. It was the last chance for Obama to mark a contrast with his opponent at a national level. It was also an opportunity to showcase his major successes in the realm of foreign policy such as the killing of terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden. For Romney it was important to underline his credentials as a potential commander-in-chief. And for the rest of the world, the debate was keenly awaited to figure out how a Romney presidency would be different from an Obama one.
But the debate turned out to be a non-debate. It turned out that there was a lot of common ground between the two candidates and the actual differences were relatively minor. The main charge that Obama hurled against his opponent was that Romney lacked any vision to lead the nation. His Republican challenger tried to underline that Obama's foreign policy has been timid and ineffective at a time of growing turmoil around the world.
And interestingly though the focus of the third debate was ostensibly on foreign policy, the two candidates tried to repeatedly bring the discussion back to domestic policy issues with an eye on the American electorate. Though the topics discussed during the debate ranged from the war in Afghanistan and the rise of China to the uprisings in the Middle East, the most vociferous differences came out on the issue of Iran and Israel. Romney charged that Obama's policies have moved Tehran 'four years closer' to its goal of having a nuclear weapons capability and now, argued Romney "there are some 10,000 centrifuges spinning uranium, preparing to create a nuclear threat to the United States and for the world." He tried to reach out to the Jewish voters by arguing that Obama's 'apology tour' of Muslim countries during his first year in office led to a signalling of American weakness. Obama responded by underlining his commitment to the security of Israel. "If Israel is attacked, America will stand with Israel," declared Obama.
Other areas of dispute between the two sides were how best to help Syrian rebels topple the regime of President Bashar al-Assad as civil war gathers momentum threatening the entire region, pursuing the Middle East peace process and confronting China over its trade policies. The two candidates were on the same page on Pakistan with both viewing a nuclear armed failing Pakistan with dread. On the whole Romney did not offer a significantly different view of the US in world affairs. Foreign policy traditionally offers an advantage for incumbent Presidents, so Romney's strategy was to distinguish himself from Obama by turning the debate on foreign policy into one about domestic issues.
At a broader level, what the foreign policy debate revealed is that foreign policies of major powers have a trajectory of their own which are not really affected by the exigencies of domestic politics. One has to just look at Obama's pronouncements as a candidate and his foreign policy four years later. At the beginning of his term, New Delhi had concerns about Obama's rhetoric about the non-proliferation regime, his pro-China tilt, and his suggestions that the success of US endeavours in Afghanistan depended on greater American activism with regard to Kashmir.
Yet the US-India relationship under Obama gained momentum and the initiatives of the George W Bush administration vis-a-vis India continued. In fact, Obama went further than any US President declaring American support for India's candidacy as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. Engagement with India was pursued with a new vigour with Washington asking India for a more robust role in East and Southeast Asia. Most significantly on Afghanistan, Washington now views India as part of the solution at a time when the source of real problem is widely considered to be in Pakistan.
Mitt Romney's position on India-related issues also remains positive and his foreign policy advisors view India's role in the emerging global and regional balance of power as favourable to Indian interests. As a consequence, there is unlikely to be any significant change in America's India policy post 2013. Given the scale of economic problems facing the US, India is not going to be a very high priority for some time but there is little likelihood of a downgrade in India's importance.
Given this reality, there is something very unseemly about Indian media's outcry that India was not mentioned during the debate. The very fact that it was not mentioned shows that US-India ties have become so mature that there is hardly any need to publicly talk about the differences. India as an increasingly important player in world politics should have the confidence to deal with the US as an equal and not take umbrage at non issues.
The focus of the election campaign in the US will now shift to battleground states where the two candidates will slug it out for the next few days till November 6. The election remains a cliff-hanger but there is nothing for India to worry about.

In The Matter of Harry Gannon
Date: October 13, 2006
The State Ethics Commission and Harry Gannon enter into this Disposition Agreement pursuant to Section 5 of the Commission's Enforcement Procedures. This Agreement constitutes a consented-to final order enforceable in the Superior Court, pursuant to G.L. c. 268B, s. 4(j).
On July 25, 2006, the Commission initiated, pursuant to G.L. c. 268B, s. 4 (a), a preliminary inquiry into possible violations of the conflict of interest law, G.L. c. 268A, by Gannon. The Commission has concluded its inquiry and, on September 13, 2006, found reasonable cause to believe that Gannon violated G.L. c. 268A.
The Commission and Gannon now agree to the following findings of fact and conclusions of law:
Findings of Fact
1. In 1985, Gannon became the paid, appointed Maynard town accountant.
2. Prior to 1999, the town accountant administered the Maynard Retirement Board's ('Board') functions and received an extra $3,000 annually for the services.
3. In 1999, the Board, with Gannon serving ex officio as town accountant, created and funded a new position of executive director of the retirement board.
4. Gannon participated in the Board's actions to create and fund the position. The salary was set at $12,000 per year. When Gannon so participated he knew he would likely be appointed to fill this position.
5. The Board then voted, with Gannon abstaining, to appoint the town accountant (Gannon) as the executive director, a position he continues to serve in currently. In effect, this action by the Board resulted in an annual salary increase for Gannon of $9,000.
6. Gannon then served as both the paid town accountant and paid retirement board executive director from September 2000 until December 31, 2002, when he retired as town accountant.
Conclusions of Law
7. As the Maynard town accountant, Gannon was a municipal employee as defined by G.L. c. 268A, s. 1.
8. Except as otherwise permitted, s. 20 of G.L. c. 268A prohibits a municipal employee from having a financial interest, directly or indirectly, in a contract made by a municipal agency of the same city or town, in which the same city or town is an interested party of which financial interest the employee has knowledge or reason to know.
9. Gannon's paid appointment as executive director of the retirement board in September 2000, while he was already serving as the paid town accountant gave him an ongoing prohibited financial interest in a contract made by the town of Maynard in which the town was an interested party.
10. Gannon knew or had reason to know of his financial interest in that contract.
11. Thus, by serving as the paid retirement board executive director while being the town accountant, Gannon repeatedly violated s. 20.[1]
In view of the foregoing violations of G.L. c. 268A by Gannon, the Commission has determined that the public interest would be served by the disposition of this matter without further enforcement proceedings, on the basis of the following terms and conditions agreed to by Gannon:
(1) that Gannon pay to the Commission the sum of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) as a civil penalty for repeatedly violating G. L. c. 268A s. 20;
(2) that Gannon pay to the Commission the sum of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) as a civil forfeiture of the compensation that he received in violation of s. 20; and
(3) that Gannon waive all rights to contest the findings of fact, conclusions of law and terms and conditions contained in this Agreement in this or any other related administrative or judicial proceedings to which the Commission is or may be a party.
/s/ Peter Sturges, Executive Director
November 14, 2006
/s/ Harry Gannon
October 13, 2006
I, Harry Gannon, have personally read the above Disposition Agreement. I understand that it is a public document and that by signing it, I will have agreed to all of the terms and conditions therein including payment of twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000) to the State Ethics Commission.
/s/ Harry Gannon
October 13, 2006
[1] The Commission's statue of limitations (930CMR 1.02 (10)) prevents the Commission from proceeding on Gannon's participation in 1999 in the creation of the retirement board executive director position.

OLR Bill Analysis
This bill makes changes in the laws governing professional bondsmen, bail enforcement agents, and surety bail bond agents. It:
1. requires professional bondsmen and bail enforcement agents to be at least age 21 and have a high school diploma or equivalent education;
2. allows the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection (DESPP) commissioner to suspend or revoke the license of an agent or bondsman subject to a restraining or protective order for using or attempting or threatening to use force against someone;
3. requires annual firearms refresher training for professional bondsmen, bail bond agents, and bail enforcement agents issued a DESPP special firearms permit to carry firearms on the job; and
4. requires (a) DESPP to approve bail enforcement agent badges and (b) an agent to surrender the badge if his or her license is revoked, suspended, or not renewed.
The bill requires DESPP to approve anyone who teaches a criminal justice course for bail enforcement agents or firearms safety course for professional bondsmen, bail enforcement agents, or surety bail bond agents. It costs $50 to get or renew the approval, which is valid for two years. Teaching without the approval is a violation subject to a $75 fine per day.
Finally, the bill makes technical changes.
EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 2013
By law, professional bondsmen and bail enforcement agents must be licensed by DESPP. The bill adds age and education qualifications to the licensure requirements. It requires applicants to (1) be at least age 21 and have a high school diploma or equivalent education and (2) submit proof of such when they apply for a license.
The bill expands the grounds for license suspension and revocation. It allows the commissioner to suspend or revoke the license of a professional bondsman or bail enforcement agent if the licensee is subject to a restraining or protective order for using or attempting or threatening to use physical force against someone.
Under current law, the commissioner may revoke or suspend the license of a professional bondsman (1) who was convicted of a felony, (2) who engaged in any unlawful activity affecting his or her fitness to stay in business, or (3) whose financial responsibility has been substantially impaired.
Under current law, he may revoke, suspend, or refuse to renew the license of a bail enforcement agent who:
1. violated the laws or regulations governing bail enforcement agents;
2. practiced fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation;
3. made a material misstatement in a license or renewal application;
4. demonstrated incompetence or untrustworthiness in conducting business;
5. has been convicted of a felony, specified misdemeanors, or other crime affecting his or her honesty, integrity, or moral fitness; or
6. is unsuitable.
By law, the suspension, revocation, or refusal to renew a bail enforcement agent's license constitutes grounds for the revocation of the person's special permit to carry firearms on, or going to or from, his or her job.
The bill prohibits an individual, without DESPP approval, from wearing, carrying, or displaying a badge purporting that he or she is a bail enforcement agent or that he or she performs the duties of such an agent. If the commissioner suspends, revokes, or refuses to renew the individual's license, the agent must surrender the badge when surrendering the license. A violation is an infraction.
By law, professional bondsmen, bail bond agents, and bail enforcement agents must obtain a special DESPP permit if they wish to carry firearms on, or while travelling to or from, the job. This is in addition to the gun permit required to carry handguns in the state. The bill conforms the law to current practice by specifying that DESPP cannot issue the special permit before it has issued the state permit.
By law, the special permit (as is the standard gun permit) is valid for five years. The bill requires the licensee to complete an annual firearms safety refresher course approved by the commissioner as a condition of renewing the special permit.
Application for Approval as Instructor
By law, (1) bail enforcement agents must successfully complete a criminal justice course of at least 20 hours in the five years before they are licensed and (2) bail bondsmen, bail enforcement agents, and surety bail bond agents carrying firearms on the job must complete training in firearm safety and get the special DESPP gun permit. Both courses must be approved by the DESPP commissioner.
Beginning October 1, 2013, the bill requires the commissioner to also approve course instructors. For a course approved by the commissioner on or before October 1, 2013, the bill gives the instructor until April 1, 2014 to apply for approval as an instructor.
The penalty for teaching without the commissioner's approval is a $75 fine for each offense. Each violation is a separate offense, as is each day of a continuing violation.
Anyone seeking approval as an instructor must complete, under oath, a DESPP application. The application must include:
1. his or her name, address, birth date and birth place; employment during the five years preceding the application; and education or training in criminal justice or firearms safety and use, as applicable;
2. information on any convictions; and
3. any other information the commissioner may require by regulation to properly investigate the applicant's character, competence, and integrity.
The commissioner may approve applicants he deems suitable and who meet the bill's requirements. The approval is valid for up to two years and costs the applicant $50. He may not approve anyone (1) who has been denied a license as a professional bondsman, surety bail bond agent, or bail enforcement agent; (2) whose license has ever been revoked or suspended; or (3) who has ever been convicted of a felony or any of the following misdemeanors:
1. criminally negligent homicide (excluding deaths caused by motor vehicles);
2. 3rd degree assault;
3. 3rd degree assault of a blind, elderly, disabled, pregnant, or mentally retarded person;
4. 2nd degree threatening;
5. 1st degree reckless endangerment;
6. 2nd degree unlawful restraint;
7. 2nd degree failure to appear;
8. 1st or 2nd degree riot;
9. inciting to riot;
10. 2nd degree stalking; or
11. a first offense involving possession of one-half ounce or more but less than four ounces of an illegal drug.
Suspension of Instructor Approval
The commissioner may suspend, revoke, or deny an approval, after notice and hearing opportunity, if the person:
1. violated the bill's specified laws or regulations governing course instructors;
2. practiced fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation;
3. made a material misstatement in the application for issuance or renewal of the approval;
4. was incompetent or untrustworthy in teaching his or her courses;
5. has been convicted of any (a) felony, (b) misdemeanor crime that would have made him or her ineligible for approval, or (c) other crime affecting his or her honesty, integrity, or moral fitness; or
6. is otherwise unsuitable.
Aggrieved parties may appeal the commissioner's order to the Hartford Superior Court.
Renewal of Approvals
Requests for approval must be made on a DESPP form and include any information DESPP requires to determine an applicant's suitability to continue as an instructor. The renewal fee is $50.
Address Changes
The bill requires an instructor who changes his or her address to inform DESPP of the new and former addresses within two business days after the change.
Implementing Regulations
The bill allows the commissioner to adopt regulations implementing the laws governing criminal justice instructors.
By law, he must already adopt regulations for the approval of schools, institutions and organizations, including course content, number of hours, and requirements for instructors for firearm safety and use training courses.

Genoa's last two homes games of the season will be played behind closed doors after yesterday's events at Marassi.
The 4-1 defeat to Siena was interrupted for around 40 minutes after disgruntled ultras threw fireworks and missiles on to the pitch.
They then demanded that Genoa's players hand them their shirts given that they "were not worthy" to wear the club's colours.
The disciplinary commission has reviewed Sunday's events at the Stadio Ferraris and ruled that no fans will be permitted entrance into their last two home games of the campaign.
Genoa, just one point and one place above the drop zone, will thus play their matches against Cagliari and Palermo with no supporters present.
Rossoblu chief Enrico Preziosi did admit yesterday that he hoped the stadium would be closed in order to decrease the pressure on his players.

T-GAAP's Karl Johnson notes thathe current MacBook Pro 15-inch comes with two graphics processors or GPUs. The HD4000 is integrated into the Intel chip and the Nvidia GeForce GT650M is a discrete graphics card with 1GB of memory. The MacBook Pro 13-inch comes with just the HD4000. While the Nvidia card is much faster than the HD4000, it uses more battery power, but Johnson says that all may change this summer when Intel release their new mobile Haswell processor lineup.
Johnson observes the the Haswell line of processors are supposedly faster and use less power, and Intel will also be using the HD5000 series graphics processors in these chips, and that it looks as though Intel will be able to catch up to Nvidia and AMD in graphics performance in the next couple of years.

There is a discussion at the Jennifer Marohasy blog, "Sea-surface Temperatures along the Great Barrier Reef" Posted by John McLean, January 5th, 2009, re recent research from AIM in Townsville that global warming is harming the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). The AIM scientists use the UK Hadley Centre SST data to show global warming is affecting coral.
This got me to take another look at a post of mine on Willis Island in the Coral Sea, a site that refuses to warm.
[Note here how politicians were running with the pro-warming conclusions, long before the published paper by De'ath et al is available.]
At the time I compiled Hadley and Reynolds SST data along with lower troposphere satellite temperature trends for the grid cell 15 to 20 degrees South and 145 to 155 East, which neatly has Willis Is. fairly central and extends west to the GBR coast.
This graphic shows that the Hadley SST data warms by ~0.75 degrees C while Willis Island land data actually cools slightly.
Now a good photo of the Willis Is. weather instruments can be found on the "Australia's Reference Climate Station Network" web page.
by clicking on Willis Island on their map.
[Let me know where the actual BoM RCS temperature data can be downloaded from please]
Now take in this idyllic scene and ask yourself, could the sea surface temperatures warm without warming air above them, which must then be reflected by the thermometers inside the Stevenson Screen which looks to be only 100-200 metres away ? That is what the Hadley Centre and the US based NOAA/NCDC are asking us to believe with their over-adjusted SST data. That the sea can warm without affecting air so close over the island. Note both the satellite data and Willis Is. cool slightly 1979-2005 while the Hadley SST's warm. For the period 1982-2005 both the satellite data and Willis Is. cool slightly while both sets of SST's warm.
Note: I downloaded the SST and satellite data from the KNMI website www.climexp.knmi.nl/
Now to a related subject, I recently wrote on the deterioration over the last ~10 years in Australian rainfall data.
I notice that the BoM station Willis Island 200283 is missing many months of temperature data in recent years. You have to ask how seriously the BoM view their task to collect these "world heritage" data when they perform as badly as this. Monthly mean T data from GISS.
I think the job needs to be taken away from them or the BoM split in some way so our vital weather data can be properly collected, sufficiently funded and properly archived then disseminated freely. Australia deserves better than the dogs breakfast we now have.
In view of the evangelical certainly of the Rudd Govt and its proponents like Garnuat when they talk about global warming, hands up those who are surprised that key remote area weather records such as this have as recently as 2006-2007 been so degraded. There is no near neighbour for Willis Island but lets hope the BoM can recover these missing month data somehow.
Finally, for those who are not familiar with SST data. These temperature reading have been taken for centuries now from ships at sea, by varying methods, earlier buckets thrown over the side then more recently by instruments at engine water intakes. The data is so variable that large adjustments are required to filter out usable data series, adjustments far larger than the IPCC compliant trend itself. Here is a comment I made yesterday at the Jennifer Marohasy blog with links to some of my earlier articles.
I see some say that Lough and or De'ath used the HadSST2 data whereas John McLean has graphed the Reynolds data which I understand incorporates some satellite input. Re SST data in general, there have been so many large adjustments/corrections mainly around WWII to get SST trends to fit passably with IPCC GW that any reliance on century long and decadal trends to fit this or that theory could be unwise. And of course years ago CRU adjusted coastal SST warmer to fit land data.
The next page illustrates the huge adjustments needed to make SST fit land trends and another point is that the older the paper dealing with SST, the less warming trend and the more prominent is warmth in the late 19C.
I did some comparisons of Reynolds and Hadley SST data around New Zealand
Page pointing out large variations in temperature trends for NZ region.
Graphic showing differences between Reynolds and Hadley V3 data
Graphic showing differences between Reynolds and Hadley V2 data
Blog article April 08 pointing out huge global discontinuity between Hadley and Reynolds late 1990's
Clearly all these datasets are in a state of flux despite all the pressures on the various teams to please the IPCC and agree closely; any policy-makers who think the science is settled need counselling.
I would like to have the computing facilities to quickly interrogate grid cell differences in these datasets.

A tasty morning meal or an afternoon treat
Welcome to a week of my favorite subject matter—breakfast! This week, in honor of my favorite mealtime, I'm bringing you some exciting experimental recipes and a slide show of all of my favorite "go-to" quick breakfast ideas. I'll also be introducing you to Kristen James, CEO and Founder of Kristen James Fitness, LLC, (a company focused on the client's physical, mental and overall wellness), as she provides us her take on why breakfast is so important.
Today I wanted to share a recipe for scones. Scones are one of my favorite things ever, especially when traveling through Europe. I just love the flakey crunchy texture. And although they can be on the blander side in terms of taste, I actually prefer that to something too sweet in the morning hours. Scones make for a lovely afternoon snack with coffee or tea as well.
Over the holidays I had some extra time in the kitchen and I played around with a few recipes, challenging myself to see if I could actually create something edible. I was surprised by how easily this scone recipe came together. Just follow the steps below and as a tip—don't overwork the dough! That's really the key to successful pastry baking.
Makes 8 Scones • Working Time: 15 minutes • Total Time: 50 minutes
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• zest of two large lemons
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup, plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
1. Preheat oven to 400ºF. In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, poppy seeds, lemon zest, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles very course meal. Pour in heavy cream, then add 1/4 cup lemon juice, stirring just until dough forms.
2. Using your hands, gather dough together and gently press into a ball. Transfer dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet and shape into an 8-inch disk. Cut into 8 wedges and separate so scones are about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer scones to a wire rack and let cool, about 20 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix confectioner's sugar with remaining lemon juice and stir until smooth. Using a spoon, drizzle glaze over cooled scones.

The orphanage boys hostel was started in the year 1979 having the capacity to accommodate 100 boys and at present 60 orphan boys are being accommodated. The girls hostel was started in the year 1988 having the capacity for 100 girls nowadays there 80 girls are being accommodated. The management provides education, shelter, clothing and medical treatment at free of cost. There are trained staff in the hostels to take care of the children. Kitchen, Store, Dining Hall, Water facilities etc. are provided separately. Attention is being given to them in the extra curricular activities. Both the hostels are functioning in separate spacious compounds with all adequate facilities. Special training in tailoring, embroidery, needle work and hand craft has been given to the girls.
Every year in the month of April the orphanage helds its 'Mass Dhuha Program' (Ladies Visiting Day Program) in a grand manner. Women from far and near gatherat the orphanage campus to be blessed by participating in the mass prayer function performed by the orphan children to get rid of their sufferings. The prayer has been performed from dawn to dusk. As the people believe that the prayer by the orphans will be accepted by the God, the Almighty. People who are attending the programme will offer donations in cash or kind. The gathering is increasing year by year.
One of the notable things is that the orphanage gives gold ornaments for worth of fifty thousand rupees as marriage help of every orphan girl who completed their studies here. Around 50 girls' marriages were held with the help of this scheme. Now there are about 60 girls more to be rehabilitated with the support of well wishers.

Miles Austin never seems to get worked up about anything.
During his eight seasons with the Cowboys, the even-keeled receiver has survived two coaching changes, battled nagging injuries, enjoyed two trips to the Pro Bowl, dated a Kardashian, suffered through some disappointing defeats and received a lucrative extension.
Throughout it all, he's maintained an equilibrium that a Zen master would envy.
So why should Austin's memories of the day his life changed forever be any different?
"I thought it was a good game, a big win for us," he understated.
"It" was a 26-20 overtime win at Kansas City on Oct. 11, 2009 that turned the Cowboys' season around and transformed Austin from an undrafted fourth-year player from Monmouth into a star.
On Sunday, he returns to Arrowhead Stadium for the first time since he blistered the Chiefs with 10 catches for a club-record 250 yards and two touchdowns, including the 60-yard game winner. It all came in his first career start after Roy Williams hurt his ribs the week before in a loss at Denver that dropped Dallas to 2-2 and put Wade Phillips on the hot seat.
But sparked by Austin's stunning performance, the Cowboys finished 11-5 and won the NFC East and a playoff game before losing to Minnesota in the divisional round. Austin finished with 81 catches for 1,320 yards and 11 TDs after entering the season with 18 career catches for 354 yards and three scores.
"We caught them in the right coverage sometimes…and I was able to break a few tackles," Austin said of his record-setting day.
Before the game, then-Chiefs head coach and former Cowboys receivers coach Todd Haley warned the defense not to underestimate Austin.
"(Haley) talked about him all week, saying he was a guy with an incredible motor and a work ethic like none other," said Dallas cornerback Brandon Carr, who in 2009 was in his second of four seasons with the Chiefs. "He showed up and validated everything coach told us."
The rest of the team was in the dark about Austin.
"I just had this conversation with him," said the Cowboys' Brian Waters, who lined up at left guard for Kansas City that day. "I told him, 'We didn't know who you were.' We were all looking at each other like, 'Who in the world is 19?' "
Cowboys coach Jason Garrett, who was offensive coordinator then, still gets goose bumps when he thinks of Austin's breakout day.
"That's one of my fondest memories in football," Garrett said.
With Dez Bryant expected to receive plenty of attention like he did in the opener when the Giants held him to four catches for 22 yards, Austin could enjoy another big day against the Chiefs. Last week, he tied his career high with 10 catches for 72 yards in helping Dallas to a 36-31 win.
"If you say you're going to cover him less than another guy, he's going to gash you," said the Chiefs' Andy Reid, who coached against the Cowboys the last 14 seasons with
Philadelphia. "You better honor his abilities and make sure you know where he is."
And if Austin sizzles again? Bet on this: He'll be calm when it's over.

Most press conferences featuring Mayor Gavin Newsom include references to how much better San Francisco is faring compared to other cities. Today's was different, however. We learned – not from Newsom, mind you – that San Francisco is behind the pace in filling out census forms.
"San Francisco is a little behind the national average of 50 percent so far of returning forms," said Adrienne Pon, executive director of the Office of Civic Engagement and Immigrant Affairs.
Pon and Newsom were at the Geen Mun Senior Center in Chinatown to tell a roomful of elderly Chinese-Americans to fill out their census forms before April 15 unless they want a census worker to come knocking on their doors.
Newsom told them that each person who fills out a form means an average of nearly $4,000 for the city in federal funds. Ten years ago, more than 100,000 city residents went uncounted, costing the city hundreds of millions of dollars.
"The undercount is not necessarily in Pacific Heights. It's not necessarily in the Sunset. It's not necessarily in Seacliff," Newsom told the seniors. "It's in places like this."
San Francisco is spending $809,000 on improving the count by reaching out to homeless people, residential hotel residents and others who can be easy to miss. The city has also hired 120 census workers through Jobs Now, an employment program funded by federal stimulus dollars.
Vincent Pan, executive director of Chinese for Affirmative Action, asked the seniors to raise their hands if they'd been convinced to fill out a census form. Almost all hands went up – with a few napping exceptions.
"Everyone except the people who are sleeping," Pan said. "OK."
UPDATE: Tony Winnicker, Newsom's spokesman, said San Francisco's census form return rate of 46 percent is actually great considering the city has so many people in the hard-to-count categories. He said it's just behind California's average of 48 percent and ahead of Los Angeles at 45 percent.
"The efforts of this year and the investment in this are having a positive impact on the number of people returning the census, and today's effort is to keep up the good work," Winnicker said.

Archaeologists uncover medieval Bishops palace in EnglandNovember 29th, 2008 - 2:59 pm ICT by ANI
London, Nov 29 (ANI): The remains of the palace of a medieval Bishop have been uncovered by a team of archaeologists digging at the site of a Roman temple in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, England.
According to a report in Hereford Times, historians have been searching for the place from the past 300 years, but its exact location has eluded them till now.
Both the palace and the Roman digs owe their exposure to John Kyrle, an English philanthropist.
Whats been uncovered is a lost palace and a hidden legacy. John Kyrle now has as much a part to play in the future for Ross as he has had with its past, said Herefordshire county archaeologist Dr Keith Ray.
Its a significant find and completely unexpected, the first glimpse weve had of such a palace, he said.
A time team from Leominster-based Border Archaeology, working on behalf of Herefordshire Council, uncovered a large stone wall while digging out to see how far the Roman site went.
The wall was found to be around 800 years old, which dates it to the palace, and it is substantial enough to have served the purpose attributed to it.
On the evidence so far, the archaeologists think theyve uncovered the foundations of the palaces great hall where the bishop would receive petitioners while seated on a throne.
There is no known visual representation of what the palace might have looked like, but in documentary references, it appears to have dominated Ross and probably had at least three towers standing to some height.
When the bishop was in residence, the palace would have housed around 100 people.
Herefordshires medieval bishops were powerful figures and kept various grand houses around the diocese.
Almost nothing is left of any of these houses now, they fell out of favour as upkeep costs rose.
The Ross palace is thought to have fallen into disrepair long before its last traces were lost between the late 1690s and early 1700s.
A protective covering has been put over the wall as work continues, there are plans to put both the sites on public view next month. (ANI)

Pain. It hurts. No use denying it. And on the surface, our recurring problems make no sense at all.
I know so many who experience "chronic pain" and "chronic problems" every day. For some, it is intense physical pain. For others, it's emotional pain. Or relational, financial, or even spiritual problems that just won't go away.
The persistence of that pain or problem is like the steady, irritating drip of a faucet. We want to shut
It is at times like, some these people give us well-meaning platitudes. God love 'em, many can't understand the depths of our very personal pain. Their quick "I'll pray for you" makes us wonder—will they? Really?
We may be in such pain we reject their caring words. Or we refuse to believe what they share from God's Word. We hurt too much.
The truth is, our pain may be an opportunity.Ongoing pain and persistent problems are like mentors who come alongside to teach us something new and important, something we might not learn any other way. In our weakened, frustrated state, we're often primed to hear from God—to hear what He may want us to know about Himself ... or ourselves.
But are we teachable in that moment?
I've dealt with health issues lately that seem to be stacking up, rather than healing. In frustration, I questioned God, my roles, my ministry—so many things. I wept in God's presence and asked, "Why, Lord?"
My update:
The problems are still lingering.
But my heart is changing.
Two choices are making a difference:
(1) I decided to thank God for the problem. He does tell us to thank Him in (not for) all things (1 Thessalonians 5:18); and this is a step of faith when we don't know how things will turn out.
(2) I'm allowing the Lord to tutor me in some key areas of need. I'm asking Him to open my heart, to open my eyes, and to speak truth into my mind (Psalm 119:18).
Once I started saying, "Thank you," and asked God for a teachable spirit, I felt new freedom. And I got a fresh new perspective on life.
This shouldn't have surprised me. Once we get God's perspective, we're better able to face whatever comes.
We discover "...our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us" (Romans 8:18 NIV).
I found hope in these encouraging words:
"So we're not giving up. How could we!
Even though on the outside
it often looks like things are falling apart on us,
on the inside, where God is making new life,
not a day goes by without his unfolding grace.
These hard times are small potatoes
compared to the coming good times,
the lavish celebration prepared for us.
There's far more here than meets the eye.
The things we see now are here, today,
gone tomorrow.
But the things we can't see now
will last forever"
(2 Corinthians 4:16-18, The Message).
Our pain, our problems (our "light affliction") are "small potatoes" compared to what God is producing in us through our afflictions to make us more like Christ (Romans 8:29) and to prepare us for a "lavish celebration" someday, the "eternal weight of glory" (v. 17, ESV) we will have in heaven.
Did you get that comparison?
"Light affliction" ... here
a heavier "weight" of glory ... in heaven!
Sometimes our afflictions seem so heavy, but the Apostle Paul wants us to remember their counterweight in eternity. God's purpose for us is far heavier. He is getting rid of the dross and refining our lives for His purposes (Proverbs 17:3; Isaiah 48:10; Zechariah 13:9;1 Peter 1:7).
We can say with the patriarch Job:
"... he knows the way that I take; when he has tried me, I shall come out as gold" (23:10, ESV).
I'm thankful our Father has not left us alone in our earthly struggles. He gives us daily "unfolding grace" to face each challenge. What does that grace look like?
- He strengthens us to cope (Philippians 4:13; 1 Peter 5:10).
- He comforts us in His presence (Psalm 46:1).
- He prepares us for new ministry opportunities (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).
- He teaches us to be sensitive and carry others' burdens too (Galatians 6:2).
- He reminds us we will someday be delivered from all our troubles (Psalm 34:19).
- And so much more!
God has a great purpose for us, and He wants us to rest in Him as He accomplishes that purpose in and through us.
What are you struggling with today? Can you ask the Lord to help you say "thank you," and to perhaps show you a glimpse of His purposes in your pain?

I am a biological anthropologist at the University of West Florida whose research primarily focuses on theorizing migration in antiquity and on understanding urban development and collapse through the analysis of human skeletal remains. My focus is on learning more about the daily lives of the lower classes in Imperial Rome through osteological and biochemical analysis, but I have also worked on questions of population interaction in the southeastern U.S. and in Medieval Germany.
My educational background includes degrees in Latin (BA, University of Virginia), Classical Archaeology (BA, University of Virginia; MA, UNC Chapel Hill), and Anthropology (MA, East Carolina University; PhD, UNC Chapel Hill). I have a strong commitment to interdisciplinary work, as my research and teaching bridge the sometimes large divide between classics and anthropology. I am also a contributor to the online science news network at Forbes, with a column on anthropology, archaeology, and classics, and a contributor at mental_floss, where I write about skeletons and the classical world.

Maisy: Oh! Ariel! Why must I look so…human?
Ariel: Because you are human, Maisy. Do not fear, for I will become human and walk with you. On my feet! AHHHH AHHH OW OW OW….There. Here I am with feet.
Maisy: Wonderful, and look, our princes are coming. *Two Prince Eric figures appear on the beach* Oh wait, I just noticed. My prince looks JUST LIKE YOURS.
Ariel: That's okay.
Random Identical Prince Eric: I have something to tell you, honeycakes. I just want to say, oh honeycakes. We both of us princes, we all just want to say… *bursts into song* FELIZ NAVIDAD! FELIZ NAVIDAD!
The song choice is not surprising. When the actual Prince Eric whom Maisy will marry finally appears (many MANY years from now, say, after college, please Lord and Amen), he is bound to be some flavor of Latino. She informed me of this, quite loudly, in fact, in Target, while picking out the latest in her series of olive skinned, glossy black haired and dark eyed dollies."I picked this one because I want it to look like my REAL babies will look. It's like how me and Sam look like you and daddy put together. And I am going to marry a Mexico boy, and he will be a MUCH BROWNER boy than me. I don't like pale skin as much. I like BROWN boys. MY babies will be BROWNER THAN ME BUT NOT AS BROWN AS HIM," she trumpeted in her high, carrying voice.
I immediately felt SUFFUSED with that inexplicable middle class white American girl guilt, like, wondering if I was somehow raising my child to be a singular reverse racist? Is there such a thing? Is it wrong that at age eight she has pre-rejected white, black and Asian suitors? And if there IS such a thing and singular reverse racism, must
my 8 year old come out as one at top volume in the Hiram Super Target?
Considering this is the child who, at the tender age of two, pioneered Quasi-reverse gay bashing in the Walmart, I suppose this was inevitable…

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hello my name is ***** ***** I will help you with this.
Are you currently making payments?Alex
OK - if they wont extend the term they will need to apply to the Court for a possession order.
You can then invite the Court to stay or suspend the proceedings, pending sale.
If the Court grants the possession order you still have one last bite of the cherry by applying to stay any eviction.
That way the you have two chances to stay the proceedings or suspend them.
Can I clarify anything for you about this today please?Alex
Yes. Can you see my response above about what happens at the end of term? Alex
I will repeat my reply here:
Ok, no problem. Can I clarify anything else for you at all today? Alex
If this answers your question could I invite you rate my answer 3, 4 or 5 starts before you leave today.

A horrified pet owner is offering a £150 reward for the conviction of the intruders who butchered her pet goose.
Kay Henderson, of Montpelier Gardens, Washington, came home on Thursday and discovered what had happened.
The goose, known as Sir Edwin, had lived in a paddock at the side of the house with his mate and their two offspring.
Some time on Thursday, intruders got into the paddock, and killed and butchered him.
She told the County Times: "I believe I may have disturbed them on my return home as there is evidence they made their escape into my neighbour's field over a high fence."
She explained that, although the body had been cut up, the meat wasn't dry and the blood on the ground was still dry.
"I am offering £150 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible," she said.
"In the interim I would advise owners of other birds or animals in the Washington area that may be viewed as food by some people to take extra precautions to protect their animals.
"To whoever did this - You have left me heartbroken and two young geese without their dad. The goose was quite old and had not been wormed. I hope he was tough to eat and made you sick."
Kay had been out from 10.30am, returning home at 12.30pm.
Anyone with information can contact Sussex Police quoting reference number 786 of June 13.
