Ion Newcombe is the editor and publisher of AntipodeanSF, Australia's longest running online speculative fiction magazine, regularly issued since January 1998, and conceived back around November 2007. He has been a zealous reader and occasional writer of SF since his childhood in the 1960s, and even sold a few stories here and there back in the '90s.
"Nuke", who it turns out loves editing more than writing, lives in the New South Wales North Coast holiday destination of Nambucca Heads, where he is self-employed in IT training, computer support, desktop publishing, editing, writing, and website implementation. He is also the resident tech-head, skeptic, and board member of community radio station 2NVR, where he produces a number of shows including The AntipodeanSF Radio Show.
Mark Webb's midlife crisis came in the form of attempting to write speculative fiction at a very slow pace. His wife maintains this is a good outcome considering the more expensive and cliched alternatives. Evidence of Mark's attempts to procrastinate in his writing, including general musings and reviews of books he has been reading, can be found at www.markwebb.name.
One of Mark's very best forms of writing procrastination is to produce the eBook series for AntipodeanSF, which he has been doing since issue 175.

Victoria has worked the metal manufacturing industry as an industrial chemist since leaving school but views those past 33 or so years as merely a stop gap until she figures out what she really wants to do when she grows up. She discovered the joy of words after encountering "Ode to Autumn" by Keats in 1985, and has been jotting down anecdotes, short stories and essays to amuse herself ever since.
A self-identified 'nerd' with an insatiable curiousity towards whatever attracts her attention, she also enjoys drawing, yarn crafts and learning new things. Victoria lives in Melbourne with her husband, son and too many cats.
This is her first formally published work.

I am a chap who speaks four languages to the perfection.
As to the background, in the communist era in Romania we did not have laptops or cell phones. Those who had done some reading made it later to college. Those who did not still enrich the large mass of oblivion.
I tend to spend my time with translating literature, mainly sci-fi. Why sci-fi?
You see, I believe in God, but how they sell a white Jesus in an African church is beyond me. I am in a constant search for someone no human would ever understand. Call it God, call it UFO, what you will.
The stars will still be twinkling.

Last week, on a whim I submitted some of my own musings to 'Nuke', and when I checked back today — my time in my 'verse, which is plus six years comparative to you — I saw that he had published some of them! I wasn't even sure the contrived email and attachment would get through, let alone end up published on your internet of things. (BTW — We have nothing quite like your 'net, but we've gone far further into the solar system than you have. Figure that!) Now that I know a connection is possible, I thought I'd tell you a little more about myself and where I'm from. So, from the beginning…
Hi. My name is Zebuline Carter — that's Zeb for my friends or Zeb-you-leen if you want to get formal — and I'm a forty-two year old former astronaut now working as an administrator at Farside, on Luna. Farside is a research base, where innerscopes are just starting to peel back layers of our sheath of the local multiverse. Because our work is so sensitive to em influences, Farside is situated within a one hundred klom diameter exclusion zone.
In my late teens I earned a double major in aerospace and business but passed over grad school for civilian astronaut training. As a kid I collected coupons from cereal boxes until I had enough for my first telescope, and built scale models of all the commercial shuttles and orbiters. Growing up, I'd always felt slightly out of place, like I was meant to to be somewhere else and part of me already was — until, that is, I had my first trip into low orbit aboard a high-riding intercont-cruiser, or ICC. That was a high-school graduation present from my Uncle Jim, and during the fifteen minutes of freefall I found that other part of myself, grabbed it tight, and never let go since.
Did I also mention I'm 180 cents tall with bobbed chestnut hair? Or that because of heart damage from a bad landing, I'm also marooned in low gravity? But heh, there are now six bases around Luna, supporting a permanent population of around twelve thousand Lunans, and a transient population of several thousand tourists and stopovers returning form the outer system, so it never gets boring and I don't get lonely. And living in low G means I won't age or sag as fast, either.
Until next time —

His eyes hurt.

...today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups...So I ask, in my writing, What is real?

SEATTLE, Sept. 17 (UPI) -- An arctic seal species is threatened as two thirds of sea ice with enough snow cover for them to reproduce is at risk of disappearing, U.S. researchers say.
Scientists as the University of Washington say the ringed seal, under consideration for threatened species status, needs to build caves to rear its young in snowdrifts on sea ice.
"It's an absolute condition they need," atmospheric science Professor Cecilia Bitz said in a university release.
Snow depths must average at least 8 inches to enable drifts deep enough to support the caves, the researchers said.
But as sea ice, the platform that allows the snow to pile up, disappears with climate change, it reduces the area where the seals can raise their pups.
With disappearing sea ice, snow in the fall -- the heaviest snowfall period -- will fall into ocean water instead of piling up on ice, the researchers said.
The area of the arctic that received at least 8 inches of snow will decrease by almost 70 percent this century, they estimate, and with insufficient snow depth seal caves won't hold up.

With Windows 8, Internet Explorer 10 comes in two flavours, the traditional desktop version and a 'metro' or 'Modern UI' version that runs within Windows RT's HTML 5 Start screen.
The former is exactly the experience you'd find on any Windows 7 PC, and the pros and cons of Internet Explorer are covered extensively in our review here.
It works well, is snappy and responsive, but the experience is woeful on a touchscreen device, with tiny areas making navigation painful.
Enter the new Windows 8 version, which offers a touch-friendly interface for users of devices such as Surface.
It takes a little getting used to, with tabs revealed by swiping from the top, for example, and the lack of plug-ins and features again will leave power users frustrated.
The experience is enhanced because all superfluous elements have to be toggled, such as the address bar, options and tabs. You have to swipe from the bottom or top to reveal these features, which leaves the viewing experience clean and pure.
Tilt the tablet into portrait mode and IE reflows the page smartly, although the change was far from snappy and sites often stopped responding momentarily.
Bookmarks, however, are a huge oversight of the Modern UI version of Internet Explorer.
To open a bookmarked site you need to load a blank tab, and then scroll across to one of your favourites. It's unintuitive and unsuited to large amounts of favourites and will certainly cause frustration for people who are used to using large lists of bookmarks.
We also found that compatibility with some sites was lacking, showing that, like the Windows Store, the 'metro' version of Internet Explorer is still a work in progress.
Some sites became unresponsive and sometimes elements wouldn't load. An example of this is close to home: the comments section on TechRadar doesn't load in Internet Explorer, and there are plenty of these types of quirks, or errors as we like to call them, which make using the built-in browser frustrating.
Hopefully Microsoft can iron out these problems quickly, because it does detract from a smooth, clear and visually pleasing experience.
Pinch-and-zoom was fast and responsive, fonts rendered quickly, and sites filled the 16:9 screen to offer an excellent experience.
What's more, with flash support built in, Microsoft has the opportunity to provide the best tablet browsing experience on the market.
Of course, you could try a different browser, but as this is Windows RT you can only choose from what's on offer on Windows Store. At the time of writing, Mozilla is preparing a version of Firefox but it's yet to appear, and there's no Google Chrome or Opera yet.

About Edgar Cayce
Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) has been called the "sleeping prophet," the "father of holistic medicine," and the most documented psychic of the 20th century. Cayce was born on a farm in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, in 1877, and his psychic abilities began to appear as early as his childhood. As an adult, Cayce would put himself into a state of meditation, connecting with the universal consciousness and from this state, came his "readings". From holistic health and the treatment of illness to dream interpretation and reincarnation, Cayce's readings and insights offer practical help and advice to individuals from all walks of life, even today.
A.R.E. and Edgar Cayce have been the single greatest influence in my spiritual journey. It started 45 years ago when as a teen I found There Is a River on my father's bookshelf.....I have never left it and it has never left me and has led to a life that is fuller in things of the spirit and a truer understanding of what God is. I will be forever grateful.

There was a question over at the Nvidia 3D Vision forum on how you can change the default key combination for taking stereoscopic 3D screenshots (Alt + F1) to something like Alt + Z or any other key combination that is more comfortable to use or is not used by a certain game or application and here is the detailed explanation. Now, through the Nvidia stereoscopic 3D control panel there are settings that allow you to change some advanced key combinations as you see fit, but not all of them are there and the screenshot key combination is most certainly not there either. So we are back to some Registry modification to do what we need, but before that we actually need to know how the key combinations are defined as values in the registry and thus it is learning time again… ;)
The location for the Stereo 3D settings in the Registry
For 32-bit OS:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\Stereo3D\
For 64-bit OS:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\Stereo3D\
Inside the registry there the keys are represented by a number in Hexadecimal format, for example the 0470 value for the SaveStereoImage as you see on the screenshot above (the Alt + F1 representation). We don't need the value in the brackets after that (the decimal number), because we are going to use the Hex values here, so when modifying a value int the registry make sure that Hexadecimal is selected as the type of data you are entering. So the first part of the number – the digits 04 represent the modifier key pressed in this case it is ALT, but the value can represent any of the following: ALT, CTRL, SHIFT and the WIN key or a combination between the multiple of these keys pressed. In the table above you can see what are all 16 possible combinations between these keys that you can use, with 00 meaning that none of these keys is pressed and 0F that all four are pressed…
The second table is a bit bigger and it represents the different possible virtual keys that you can use along with the four mentioned already modifier keys. The second table has 256 possibilities, but not all of them are listed in the table as not all of them are being used or available on a standard keyboard or are even not even used anymore. Using this table you can get the second part of the number you need to enter as a value in the registry to modify a key combination for a specific command. The value 70 here represents the F1 key and you can get that number by looking at the table and when you find the key you need first writhe the number on the left (7) and then the one at the top (0) and this way you get the value 70 for F1. If you need the value for the F12 key following the same method you get 7 on the left and B at the top, so the Hex value for the F12 key is 7B and if you want to get the ALT + F12 key combination you get 04 for the ALT modifier and 7B for F12 and the resulting value is 047B that you need to set in the registry.
Notice that there are some cells in the table with different colors than white, these colors all represent some specific and here is what every color means. The yellow color shows the combinations that you can use with the three standard mouse buttons and yes, you can also use the mouse for key combinations and not just the keyboard. The red color represents the system control keys, the green color is for the keys on the Numpad and the blue color is for any multimedia keys that you might or might not have on your keyboard, the rest is in white and it represents the most standard keys that you can use like the letters, numbers etc.
So happy modifying with your newly acquired knowledge, just don't forget to make a backup of the default settings in that Stereo3D registry key as otherwise if you mess something up you might have to reinstall the 3D Vision driver to restore them to their defaults. Also have in mind that there are some values with keys applied to them that are currently not being used and are depreciated remains from the older Nvidia stereo 3D drivers, so modifying these is pointless.

My story; depression and college.
I am Evan Ortiz, a 20 year old college student from Portland, Oregon. I am emailing you at NPR because I love the shows and stories I hear, and I am inspired to share my own story. In particular, my story about depression, college, and college health care. I do this because I feel a deep need to reach out to others suffering from mental illness and depression. I ask that you please hear my story, so that others might hear. I find comfort in the stories I hear on NPR, be it about mental health, car repair, scientific discoveries, philosophy, or lake woebegone, and I want to give back.
In 2010, I attended Ursinus college as a freshman, newly out of high school. Ursinus (i had never heard of it either) is located in "collegeville" PA, about 3000 miles from my home. I had never been to the east coast except for my campus visit, and had no idea what was in store for me. Not only about the experience of a freshman in college, but about a new culture, being away from home, not knowing anyone, and learning to live on my own.
In high school, I was diagnosed with depression, and general anxiety disorder. After a rough round of junior and senior years, I just barely graduated with much support from my teachers and counselors. I owe them my entire thanks for getting me through some very tough times. Anyways, in during senior year, when most students were getting ready to go to the two biggest state schools in the area, I was being prodded by my parents to apply to, well, any college. I chose Ursinus, the school nobody ever heard of, randomly from a college fair that I was taken to, and submitted a free application. The bonus was that I did not have to write the foreboding college essay, which in my depressed mind, was both insignificant to existence, and too incredibly onerous to overcome. Being one of the only students from the west coast to apply, having taken challenging courses and doing fairly well despite my troubles (again, thanks to the great staff at my high school) and being half Latino, I got a hefty scholarship and was all set to go to University.
I said goodbye to my family, and settled into the generic freshman dorm life, involving late night chats with strangers from other floors, easy Mac, and wearing pajamas during daylight hours. I attended my classes eager to be challenged and to finally be in the midst of intellectuals.
I had been coping pretty well with my depression up until this point, having gone through therapy the year before, and being put on a stable dose of Zoloft. I was turning in my homework, and maintaining my relationship with my long distance girlfriend from high school who attended university of Puget Sound. however, after about the first five weeks, I noticed the depression creeping back, as it so often does. Many little things piled up, which I had to noticed until it was a huge stack of tasks and obligations that no mortal could overcome. School assignments, social obligations, and the basics of living loomed over me, a juggernaut of "typical" college life stresses. This is what depression is. This is how it works. You wait and pray and hope it never returns, but it does. Even if the feeling is incredibly mild, it still triggers the all too familiar sense of losing control, of life being too hard to handle, of the world dropping you from its stability, and you are left to cope in the darkness, with nothing. You see, the fear of re-lapsing into a deeper depression is so terrifying, it can drive you pull the rip chord at the slightest trigger. You are willing to let go of everything; school, friends, getting out of bed, if it means getting out of the heralding darkness. Piles of disappointment and worry and obligation crush your soul beneath their weight, and you are left hopelessly without control, reaching for anything that might quell the fear, even if for a moment.
The worst thoughts about yourself manifest in your obligations and works. It is a trick, and a trap that leaves you hanging on the edge of a cliff, earth crumbling beneath your fingertips. It is here, at this point, that so many people turn to alcohol, and drugs, and physical harm, stimulation to try to escape. To feel themselves let go. To feel anything remotely human, because depression robs one's self of that humanity.
Luckily, I knew the warning signs. I knew I was in trouble, and had enough experience learning the hard way to know I needed help. But the unfortunate thing is, many people, including myself, with depression don't notice somethings wrong until it's too late, and everything has fallen apart in a dramatic nighttime revelation. You deny to yourself that anything is wrong, maybe because of the humanistic optimism in you, maybe as a way to cope, maybe as a way to escape and ignore the fear. You lie to yourself, and come up with excuses. Deep down you know the problem, but you fail to recognize it. Depression I'd funny in this way. It is also incredibly dangerous.
So, when I finally emailed the on campus wellness center, it took everything I had to fully admit I had a problem and needed help. I so much wanted my depression to be done with. I just wanted to ignore it, but It got to the point that I couldn't. Assignments weren't being handed in. Little things, as I said, at first, like postponing an essay, or not studying for a quiz, until they piled up, and I had quite a few academic warnings. I mentioned in my email to the wellness center that I was struggling with depression, and asked to see a counselor. I got an email three days later, saying that I needed to come in to fill out a form in order to be evaluated to see someone. I came in and filled a general health history form, with questions at the end like "are you sexually active?" And "are you feeling suicidal?". That last question confused me. I hadn't thought of killing myself. Maybe dying peacefully, but never suicide or anything like that. I knew I felt like dying, but I wanted to fight, and to live. I wondered if I should put down "yes" to speed up the process. I circled "no." In the comments section at the end, I explained I was having real trouble with depression and needed help. To me this should have been a red flag to anyone screening. I was told I would be contacted in two to three days. I left feeling optimistic, and ready to start over. Days turned into a wee, and then two.
I emailed back twice during this time, and finally was sent an email saying I would be able to see someone three or four weeks later.
I was hurt. I was mad. I was confused. I couldn't believe I had to wait this long to set up an appointment at this small school, and had to wait four weeks until I could see a health professional to have a first session in which I would spend half the time being to uncomfortable to tell the smallest of my problems. I thought an institution with such a large and "well-regaurded" Psychology and pre-med program, a school for enlightened though, would not have a wellness center that understood someone reaching out with a serious issue. This was a matter of life and death for me. Depression was going to creep back in those four weeks I had to wait. I knew it would. Was I supposed to stop my life for a month, and coast along with this burden that had already driven me to the point to overcome stigma to talk to a counselor? My grades suffered, I dropped classes, I wanted out of the school. Dorm life made me sick. Dorm food made me sick. I just wanted to feel alive again.
I could have so easily gone across the walkway in front of my dorm to the sophomore dorm, and I could have tried to find the answers to my life in the bottom of countless Natural Ice cans, or in the smoldering ends of joints and bong hits that were all to readily available, and let my life be dominated by these. I knew other people were hurting. I could see it and hear about it and witness it. The countless parties where frat boys passed out drunk, and drunken hookups and sexual assaults and alcohol poisonings ran rampant. All the while the school was still trying to figure out why so many coeds drank to the point of illness, and what to do with these out of control kids. Assaults, underage binge drinking, defacement of grounds, and disrupted schoolwork and study were all attributed to "kids will be kids" and similar denials. I feel officials at the school knew that taking away the alcohol would solve nothing. Other more dangerous vices or escapes would just take over. So they tollerated these activities.
I was worried, and decided to take up a complaint with the dean of students. I set up a meeting, and explained my disbelief of having to wait so long to get help. I couldn't believe a school trying to be so cutting age and progressive barely had the resources to take care of their students. I told all of this to the dean, and she assured me she was equally outraged, and that she would find me someone to talk to in the meantime. I felt better after that.
However, although the dean said she would follow up, I felt she never did, and although I was given a chance to talk to another school official with some counseling training, it was not enough for me. I needed a trained professional, and though I owe much thanks to the woman who heard me talk about my situation, I felt that this was temporary, and would not suffice. I knew other students needed more. With the statistics the way they are, with a majority of students dealing with mental illness, I was determined to help any way I could. It helped me be more confident in my struggles to know that I could be an advocate. So, when I arrived back at home after a long, disappointing semester, I told myself I would try to change this. I needed to.
But these motives subsided as the new term started, and I tried to focus on schoolwork. I was still slipping in my depression. Not much had changed motivationally now that I was in my second term. I still wanted out of that school. I still felt unheard. I was still not my true self, and still had so much to take on.
The assignments started piling up again. I received more academic warnings, and again tried to seek help. This time, I thought maybe my first attempt at an appointment was a rare occurrence. After all, if you are physically I'll, the center would have to get you in as soon as possible, right? Maybe they were usually faster about mental health appointments.
I put in another request, but was still told I would have to wait. The appointments wre booked until the end of the month. Even as I asked the wellness center receptionist if there were any way that I could see someone that day, and that it was important, she said "sorry" with a kind voice. But to me, that was still unacceptable.
My worries were confirmed, I was emailed back that I would have to wait about two weeks.
I was even more furious than before. I started sending emails to the wellness center, somewhat anonymously that contained articles and studies about how many college students needed mental health services, and the rising suicide rates, and the importance of a comprehensive wellness center. These emails recievd no responses.
I decided to take this to the highest authority I could think of. If the deans, the center, and the counselors wouldn't listen, I was going to take this to the top. The office of the president of Ursinus college. I walked to the top floor of the administration building, meeting surprised looks by office workers seeing a student in raggedy, typical college clothing walk into an administrative building. I asked for an appointment with the president. Surprisingly, I was answered by an enthusiastic secretary who was very helpful. The in-standing president (the colleges former president had just died, and the vice president was filling in) was out, but I would get a meeting with him the next day. I was very impressed, and excited. I couldn't believe it was this easy to see the president. I expected a wait about as long as the counseling center.
So the next day I came in, and was met by a kind older man who heard what I had to say. I explained the situation, and he was incredibly empathetic. He had no idea this was happening, and assured me it was a top priority of his. He thanked me, and I left, happy someone listened. However I had the feeling that I was again being told what I wanted to hear, in order to quiet me. I felt I still needed to do more.
A few days later, I left a message on the machine of the health and wellness center. I addressed the head of the center, and began to explain my situation, my concerns for fellow students, and my disappointment for how students were cared for. I admit it may have been stern, but I didn't care. At that, point, I needed them to know that I would not be ignored. I wanted to be heard, and wouldn't give up on this.
The next day I recieved an unprofessionally written email, in my opinion, demanding who I was and what I wanted. I was frightened by the tone of this email. I replied that I wished to have a meeting. The meeting with the center was not a new idea. I had expressed in my previous emails along with the articles that I wished to set up a meeting to discuss my concerns. Until this point, these requests went unanswered. A meeting was set up, and I gathered up information and statistics. As I got ready to leave for a meeting, I was told by a friend and the hillel house rabbi, a place i had found solace in, even though i was not Jewish, to take no prisoners. I was nervous and my hands sweat as I waited for the doctor to see me. After a long period of waiting, I was introduced to the doctor and head of counseling of the wellness center. I was escorted to an office where I met with the doctor and the counselor to discuss my "disturbing message." I felt uncomfortable, trapped, and outnumbered. I was asked why I was "stirring things up so much" and "making a lot of noise." I tried to keep my composure and explained what I wanted to say:
That mental health is an important issue.
That these waiting times were unacceptable for the college I was paying 52k a year to attend.
That students everywhere, even on campus were hurting.
I explaind about a friend I knew that cut her wrists two nights earlier, and had to go to the emergency room, because she felt there was no way out.
I conveyed my struggles.
I was met with aggressive and accusing questions. I broke, and I cried like a baby. That was the hardest I wept since I was a child.
My message was getting muddled by high tension and the CYA approach to confrontation. (cover your ass).
It got so heated, that I strongly cut the doctor off, and exclaimed "people are f***ing hurting out there, and not enough is being done."
Yelling erupted from all parties, and subsided quickly. The meeting had to be broken up, because a patient had to be seen by the doctor. He told me to wait until after he saw the patient.
I called up the president of the school, asking if he could come help me at the meeting. I was outnumbered, and crying still. He came and patted me on the back. I thanked him, and we both waited.
When the doctor returned, we met in his office, the president, the doctor and I.
The meeting had a different tone, now. The doctor was more professional in his tone, and we explained what happened. (In the first half of the meeting, I explained what I thought was wrong, and noted that the president and dean agreed with me. I said I could ask him to meet with the group if they wanted. It was a powerplay, and was met with taunts of "go ahead.")
I was glad I had back up. Again, the idle CYA chatter between the doctor and president started up, and it was agreed that maybe there was more that the wellness center could do, and if I wanted, I could call and discuss this more in three months, during the summer. The doctor explained "in fifteen years here, I have never had a single complaint. And now you come along with these issues. Watch what you say, because I am not ignorant. I have dealt with depression, but waiting times are waiting times." I asked if it was a budget or staff issue. He replied no, and that it was standard procedure. The meeting had to end, and I left. As I walked out, the doctor asked the president to stay. I said my thank you's and goodbyes. I couldn't help but get the feeling that the doctor was going to meet with the president without me to discuss me, and to write me off as someone with depression who is not thinking straight, and taking out frustrations on an innocent campus wellness center. I sighed, and left having done all I could.
I was proud that I stood up for this important issue. I had already made up my mind months before that I was leaving the school, but thought that just because I went through tough times, that didn't mean that others had to. I was hopeful, perhaps overly so, that things would change.
Though I never did have the motivation to call again that summer, I like to think I made a difference. I started a website for people with mental health, or life struggles called theburden.org. Resources were posted, and it was my way of trying to correct things.
The site is under construction right now, althogh I hope to get it back up soon.
I am now studying Music Therapy at Marylhurst University, and I am loving every minute of it. I am taking my health seriously, and still looking out for those I feel need help with their own struggles. Depression still creeps up from time to time, but I have the support and knowledge to recognize and act now.
Though I would never return to study at Ursinus, I made many good friends. It just wasn't a good place for me. Unfortunately, I hear from my friends that nothing has changed in regard to wellness, and that some of the campus staff are getting a little more ridiculous in their close-mindedness. But I guess change is slow. Slow, but imminent.
This story is my way of telling others out there that there are real issues on college campuses across the nation. My story is one of many. There is hope, and depression is nothing to go through alone. The world is so amazing. Things get so much better.
Thank you for hearing me. Thank you for taking the time.
Thank you so much.
Evan Ortiz.

In 2007, a divided Supreme Court ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency must treat carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases as "pollutants," and must therefore analyze whether the increasing concentrations in atmospheric carbon might reasonably be anticipated to endanger human health and welfare. The court may be on the verge of facing this issue once again.
To be clear, the court did not mandate regulation in 2007; rather, it mandated that the EPA go through what is known as an "Endangerment Finding" process. The EPA did so and on Dec. 15, 2009, issued its ruling that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases must be regulated. This EPA finding and associated rulings were immediately challenged in the federal D.C. Circuit Court, which initially ruled in favor of the EPA.
Given the two dissenting judges in the circuit's en banc decision just before Christmas, the matter will very likely go to the Supreme Court.
If allowed to stand, the very existence of the EPA's Endangerment Finding requires regulation that would significantly increase U.S. fossil fuel and electricity prices — negatively affecting job creation as well as energy, economic and national security.
To many scientists, this situation seems incredible, given the ample evidence that the EPA's finding is flawed. In its finding, the EPA claimed with 90 to 99 percent certainty that observed warming in the latter half of the 20th century resulted from human activity. The EPA bases its finding upon three "lines of evidence," none of which hews to the most credible empirical data available.
First, the EPA claims that the global average surface temperature has been rising in a dangerous fashion over the last 50 years, in large part due to human-caused increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. But "global warming" has not been global, nor has it even set records in the regions where warming has occurred. For example, over this time period, while the Arctic has warmed, the tropical oceans had a flat trend, and the Antarctic was cooling. The most significant warming during this period occurred in the Northern Hemisphere, north of the tropics. But over the last 130 years, the 1930s still has the most U.S. state high temperature records. Over the past 50 years, there were more new state record lows set than record highs. In fact, roughly 70 percent of the current state record highs were set before 1940.
Second, the EPA argues that in the tropics, the upper troposphere is warming faster than the lower troposphere, and the lower troposphere is warming faster than the surface, all due to rising carbon concentrations. This is totally at odds with multiple robust, consistent, independently derived empirical data sets, all showing no statistically significant positive (or negative) trend in temperature, and thus no difference in trend by altitude.
Third, the EPA relied upon climate models predicated on this theory. All of these models fail standard model validation and forecast reliability tests. The models all forecast rising temperatures beyond 2000, although the global average surface temperature has actually been flat. This is not surprising because the EPA never carried out any published forecast reliability tests.
The bottom line is that no scientist or team of scientists has come up with an empirically validated theory proving what the EPA claims it knows with 90 to 99 percent certainty. Moreover, if the EPA's three lines of evidence are so easily refuted, then the EPA's strong claim of causality, that higher carbon emissions affect sea levels and severe storm, flood and drought frequency, is on ever shakier ground. This is an inevitable problem when a person or agency tries to prove too much.

The Unapologetic Non-Believer
I was watching television the other day when my intelligence was once again assaulted by a vocal and unabashed member of the flat earth society. A Republican member of the Texas school board responsible or deciding that evolution should not be allowed in textbooks because it has "no scientific justification" and a concept espoused by those "Godless left wingers".
I really don't know just where to start with this not only is there an enormous amount of fossil evidence to support the conclusion that evolution is indeed a fact unlike any "religious" justification. Evolution is only called "the theory of evolution" because science, unlike religion, always requires open-mindedness and peer-review before drawing a conclusion. But also, in my mind at least, it is the "God fearing" people that are the problem.
When I interact with people who have a strong "religious" belief of any kind I find that there is an idea socialized into most of us which assumes automatically that the "believer" is somehow on a better moral footing than I am. while they are, usually, simply a part of the belief system that they grew up with. On my part, it comes from a lifetime of first having to overcome the years of childhood brainwashing. Having struggled to overcome that, I was then subjected to several years of living in a population of mostly religious people who all had a similar attitude of "my God is the only one that will get me into heaven but, those who believe in other gods are good people to; they just won't make it into heaven". The word atheist or agnostic is treated only in the most negative of ways.
Well, I've got news for them. I am a moral person to even though I don't believe in any magical beings. After years of questioning and being open-minded to the possibilities I have come to understand a neatly logical concept of how the universe works. It makes perfect sense to me (unlike religion) and also gives me a firm set of principles about how to treat other human beings with kindness and love. I don't need to have it written in stone by a God.

Extremist pundits and Bible-thumping cretins have twisted meaning to such a degree that religious freedom is taken to mean that no one is supposed to stand up to tyranny. Instead, I believe that the true meaning of words should be reclaimed. No, they cannot expect the government to fawn over those who decry rights for women, men, gays. There are indeed NOT always two sides to every argument.

10 BBQ Fails to Avoid on Memorial Day
Got any Memorial Day plans? Maybe you're heading to a parade and dressing up in those American flag shorts (guilty). Or perhaps heading to the public pool to kick off swimming season is more your style. Whatever you do, there's one Memorial Day staple that all Americans must experience on Monday— the BBQ.

If you've ever made a web site and wanted it to look consistent from one browser to the next, then you're well away of the difficulties that are involved. Fixing these sorts of styling issues can be a major annoyance, however, I like to hunt down issues on my own pages from time to time and stand up to the challenge.
One issue that I can across today was dealing with horizontal menu positioning using unordered lists (<UL>) and some positioning. The positioning wasn't consistent between browsers or even operating systems.

The Birthday Massacre
New wave revival outfit the Birthday Massacre formed in London, Ontario, in 2000 -- originally dubbed Imagica, the founding lineup was comprised of frontwoman Chibi, guitarists Rainbow and M. Falcore, bassist Aslan, keyboardist Dank, and percussionist O.E. After recording a seven-song demo session, Dank left Imagica and the remaining members relocated to Toronto, where a second demo release followed in mid-2001. Upon renaming itself the Birthday Massacre, the group released its debut LP, Nothing & Nowhere, in the summer of 2002. With the resignation of O.E., the lineup welcomed keyboardist Adm and percussionist Rhim prior to recording a follow-up EP, 2004's Violet. Adm quit the Birthday Massacre prior to an expanded European release of Violet on the German label Repo -- in 2005, the band signed to the Metropolis imprint to issue the disc in North America and the U.K., adding keyboardist O-en for a tour of Western Europe. In 2007 the band released their third album, Walking With Strangers, on Metropolis, then set out on tour with Mindless Self Indulgence and Julien-K. Three years later, the band put released 2010's Pins and Needles, followed up quickly by an EP, Imaginary Monsters, in 2011. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

In 4 weeks times I saw an unprecedented growth.
Thanks for the great manual link submission service."- Andrew
"I have to thank Suraj for many things - today I've got an understanding of how SEO will work and the link indexing behavior of search engines.
It was he who taught me that SEO is far more than just tweaking the title tags I earlier thought. My e-commerce site now performs more than just throwing up the products. Suraj convinced me ABOUT importance of manual submission and long-term SEO goals than just overnight gimmicks providers offer at freelancer sites.
He has unique understanding of the SEO as well as the internet. He visualizes the big picture that counts unlike other SEO consultants I knew.
The SEO manual submission team is affordable and knowledgeable, what more do you want?
Best wishes,
I bought Silver SEO link building service package for my new e commerce site and got my reports within the time. I had earlier bought many backlink packages but I must say the service provided by SEO manual submission is one of the best. Except for few links all the links were indexed by the Google. They're shown in my Google's webmasters tools as well much quicker than other services I bought before.I must say I got what I was looking for and will order from Suraj Anjaana in the future.
SEO stands for search engine optimization. It refers to techniques that help your website become more visible in organic search results for the people who are looking for your brand, product, or service via search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo.
Organic results are the results that appear in search engines, for free, based on an algorithm. Paid -- or inorganic -- search results appear at the top or side of a page. These are the links that advertisers pay to appear on different search engines.
A meta description is the text that appears below your page in a search engine result that explains what the page is all about. In this example, the meta description is "Learn the elements needed to write a comprehensive blog post in just 9 easy steps."
Meta descriptions still matter, just not in the same way they used to. They used to be a place to optimize for keywords so crawlers would know more about your page contents; now, it's more important you write something compelling that makes readers want to click so you can improve conversion rates from SERP results to your website.

It is not the best moment to be King of Spain. Juan Carlos' son-in-law Iñaki Urdangarin is being investigated for involvement in a massive corruption scheme; and his eldest grandson just shot himself in the foot literally. On April 9, the 13-year-old Felipe (who is known to the public by his nickname Froilán), was finishing up target practice at his father's estate, when he accidentally fired a bullet into his right foot. Because Spanish law prohibits anyone under the age of 14 from operating a firearm, the Civil Guard has now opened an investigation into the event. "Without a doubt," says journalist Mábel Galaz, who covers the Spanish royal family for El País newspaper, "this is their annus horribilis" a reference to Queen Elizabeth II's description of 1992, the year the marriages of three of her children (including that of Charles to Diana) were breaking up and Windsor Castle caught fire.
For decades, Spain's Bourbons avoided the kind of public scrutiny and censure that bedevils other European royals. The country's media not even the gossip rags made few or no coy references to mistresses or financial misdoings, nor did they whisper about unseemly meeting with Arab sheiks or a special fondness for diet pills. But that reticence is beginning to change, thanks in part to recent legal scandals. And as it does, Spain's attitudes toward monarchy in general are also changing.
"There's been a willingness to accept a construction of the King as the savior of democracy," says Julián Casanova, history professor at the University of Zaragoza. "And as a result he was never subjected to public criticism." Despite the fact that he was dictator Francisco Franco's handpicked successor, Juan Carlos lent his support to parliamentary government basically writing himself out of power and in 1981 went on television to disavow an attempted military coup, an act that quickly helped crush it. Because of those events, says Casanova, "the media has protected him."
Yet that protection is no longer being extended in the same degree to his descendants or at least not his descendants' spouses. In the years following her marriage to Felipe, the King's son and heir, Princess Letizia was reported to suffer from eating disorders and to have undergone plastic surgery. Critics have also questioned her fashion sense. (Two adorable children and a more modern style have since helped ease the scrutiny.) The King's eldest child Elena's 2009 divorce from the aristocrat Jaime de Marichalar scandalized sectors of this still predominantly Catholic country.
But no infractions real or imagined have so affected the royal family's standing as the indictment of Urdangarin. In the fall of 2011, the husband of the Infanta Cristina was officially accused of diverting millions of dollars in public funds from the Noos Institute, a nonprofit organization that he chairs, to offshore accounts. Called to testify in February of this year, Urdangarin declared his innocence. The investigation is ongoing.
The royal family has tried to distance themselves from their wayward son-in-law, a former Olympic handball champion. In December, Urdangarin was suspended from attending official functions, and in his televised Christmas speech, the King made a pointed reference that was not lost on royal watchers. "Fortunately, we live in a state of law, and any objectionable action should be tried and punished according to the law. Justice is for everyone." Although the Infanta Cristina has thus far avoided indictment, for the first time she did not join the rest of the royal family for their traditional Easter vacation last week.
Clearly, the royals are feeling the hot breath of public scrutiny. In October, a regular survey by the Center for Sociological Research showed that, for the first time in the past 17 years, trust in the royal family had fallen below the halfway mark, lower even than trust in the media. Perhaps in response, in December, the royal household made its income public for the first time (they received about $11 million in 2011, of which roughly 10% went to salaries and individual expenses). And on April 11, as the Spanish government announced massive cuts in the salaries and benefits of public workers, the royals followed suit, declaring that they would reduce their own budget by $224,000. "They're feeling obligated to have more transparency," says Casanova. "Given the situation in Spain, I don't think they had choice." (For comparison, Queen Elizabeth's royal household has an annual income of about $33 million.)
Against this backdrop, Sunday's shooting accident surely hasn't helped their image. Nor did Queen Sofia's attempt to brush off the event's significance with a grandmotherly comment: "These things happen with boys." The Civil Guard begged to differ: after calling the accident a "clamorous infraction," they have opened an investigation. If found guilty, Felipe's father, who was with him at the time, could face fines. "This was clearly an accident," says psychologist Javier Urra, Madrid's former ombudsman for youth. "But there's a sense that the royal family should set an example."
(Juan Carlos was himself involved in a tragic shooting accident as a young man. While the Bourbons lived in exile in Portugal, 18-year-old Juan Carlos was cleaning a revolver when it went off, hitting his 14-year-old brother Alfonso in the forehead, killing him.)
Does their at least occasional failure to set an example mean that monarchy itself is in danger? "Absolutely not," says journalist Galaz. "People here still have a ton of respect for the King who got us through [the attempted coup on] February 23." But with the King now 74 years old, and democracy firmly established in Spain, it remains to be seen whether they will transfer their loyalty to his son. Until now, the 44-year-old Felipe, who was has a master's degree from Georgetown University, has comported himself well. "The bad news is that there's a lot of noise around the monarchy these days, and that the Infantas Elena and Cristina are no longer considered trustworthy," says Casanova. "The good news is that their brother is."

You can make your own joke about batgirl and imagine that it appeared here: The title of this paper about tells you everything you need to know: "Fellatio by Fruit Bats Prolongs Copulation Time." I really cannot think of much to add there.
We can all be thankful it wasn't a coconut-laden swallow: As many of you may have heard, the LHC suffered a brief temperature spike that almost caused a shutdown. Apparently, the issue can be traced back to electrical issues caused by a bird that tried to fly off with a baguette that was a bit too large for it. According to the official CERN statement, "The bird escaped unharmed but lost its bread." Nature has some very tongue-in-cheek reporting on the incident, and gets the scoop on whether the bird came from the future to prevent the creation of a Higgs Boson.
This is just the first step in computers' plan to eliminate humans: I went looking in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine in search of something that appeared to be perfect Weird Science fodder: a paper on the rise of hot-tub-related injuries in the US. That study hasn't made its way to the journal's website yet, but I discovered that one of the authors, one Lara B. MkKenzie, has made a career out of combing injury databases and identifying the impact of various risks, from the expected ("Rock Climbing Injuries Treated in Emergency Departments" to the unusual ("Golf Cart-Related Injuries in the U.S."). But the one that stood out was a dozen years' worth of data on acute computer-related injuries, which shows that, although computer use increased by 300 percent over that time, computer-related injuries shot up by 732 percent. Fear the machines.
We'll try to get you the hot tub data next week.
We're apparently an acquired taste: Back in the late 1890s, railroad workers in Kenya were apparently terrorized by a pair of lions that decided that manual labor made for a flavorful meal. Rumors placed the number of victims at anywhere from 28 to 135. Researchers have now gone back and looked at the isotope ratios in the remains of these lions, and found that one of them was getting about a third of its calories from humans in the last month of its life. That's a bit of a surprise, given that lions hunt cooperatively, and there's little indication that the others in the pack were also bumping off workers. The authors try to make the work sound scientific by using phrases like "prey scarcity drives individual dietary specialization" and "sustained dietary individuality can exist within a cooperative framework," but your Weird Science correspondant is convinced that the whole project was done just to get the title into print: "Cooperation and individuality among man-eating lions."
Public transit stupidity is a mathematical inevitability: This is something I see almost every day in the New York City Transit system. A bus pulls up at a stop that's so densely packed with commuters that they practically explode out when the doors are opened. Less than a minute later, it's followed by a pair of nearly empty busses, running along the same route. Apparently, that's a mathematical inevitability, termed the "Equal Headway Instability."
The authors of this paper create a model that can reproduce the equal headway problem, and then try various solutions under the assumption that the current behavior seriously annoys commuters. Unfortunately, none of their solutions—minimum and maximum waiting times at stops, limited boarding, etc.—work well under all conditions, and the authors recognize that having commuters watch an unfilled bus pull away is also going to piss them off. The solutions, not surprisingly, are basic commute manners: stand away from the doors, let people out first, and don't pile into an overstuffed bus. Conductors have been saying all of that for years—good luck getting impatient commuters to go along.
It's dead, but we still don't know how it got there: Charles Darwin, during his famous travels on the Beagle, stopped by the Falkland Islands and was surprised to find a wolf living on what were essentially mammal-free islands. Humans promptly hunted this natural wonder to extinction. Now, researchers have gone back to sequence the DNA from museum samples, and have found that it's a distinct lineage that probably originated in North America as part of the same species group that includes the maned wolf, and survived the big extinctions that wiped out a lot of North and South America's megafauna by hiding out on the islands. It's still not clear how it got there in the first place, though, given that they've never been connected to South America.

Some 200 years after German librarians Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm collected and published local folklore that defined storytime for generations around the world, writer/artist Gina Biggs is resurrecting lesser known fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm by faithfully adapting them into comics form.
Erstwhile debuted as a short-lived comic book in 2007, but last year it was reborn as a webcomic that has attracted an enthusiastic following. Next month, the stories return to print as a prestige hardcover graphic novel Erstwhile: Tales of the Brothers Grimm. Gina Briggs adapts the stories, which are drawn by a rotating stable of artists from their shared Strawberry Comics banner, Biggs herself, Louisa Roy (Velharthis) and Elle Skinner (Missing Monday). This gives the comic a variety of styles and approaches suitable for the different fairy tales they tackle. The three also bring some diversity and modern sensibilities to the fairy tales without sacrificing authenticity to the source material. In other words, it's slightly more faithful than Zenescope's Grimm Fairy Tales.
While most of us will have to wait until next month for it to become available on the Erstwhile website, some are already receiving copies of the book. That's because they are part of the more than 650 backers who helped finance the publication through Erstwhile's Kickstarter campaign. They raised more than 300 percent of their goal. (And it has one of the best "this is where you come in" videos I've seen on Kickstarter).
The book includes the first seven installments of the webcomic, which is in the middle of its ninth story. The next scheduled fairy tale is Snow White and Rose Red, which is about the other Snow White from the Grimms (and whose co-star should ring a bell for readers of Fables). With the completion of that tenth story, the Erstwhile team will have worked through their backlog from Erstwhile's comic book days. There are more than fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm, so good luck correctly guessing what gets adapted next. One person knows, though: the backer who pledged $500 or more to choose the next Grimm fairy tale to get the Erstwhile treatment. As if that didn't already make it a great Kickstarter perk, the lucky person also gets to be the first person to read the finished story.

At 10pm, the apple stores update their inventories online, and you can reserve one for next day in-store pickup.
So basically go online at 9:55, put the iPhone in your cart and enter in all of your info. Then at around 9:58 start checking the stores for availability via your zip code. If it is not available, close the store lookup window and keep trying until around 10:05. If you don't get one by 10:05 you try the next day.
I tried this for about 5 days until South Hills apple store had one. Last Thursday night is when I snagged it, every store in Pittsburgh had the model I was looking for (64 GB white). I was seeing lots of stores though that had them during the week, especially in Ohio and DC. For some reason my pittsburgh zip code brings up the DC stores as well.
So in other words, I got my iPhone before my wife who just got hers yesterday, and she ordered it like 2 days after the start of pre-orders.
Also, you don't actually reserve the phone until you complete the checkout, so have your CC handy. Even if you just use the CC on file, they make you re-enter in your 3 digit code thing.
