Santa Rosa County will scrap seven disabled workers' jobs at the end of 2010.
The Arc Santa Rosa, a nonprofit agency serving developmentally disabled clients, has provided employees for the county's landfill and recycling center since 1990. Originally, workers sorted recyclable materials at the landfill. But their duties changed as the operation grew.
"It's been a good agreement for these many years," County Administrator Hunter Walker told commissioners Sept. 7, adding that the recycling center has supported itself and even made money in the past. "There's just so much product (to be recycled) we had to change the way we use our Arc people."

For whatever reason, on my Wii during Nowhere Man's "Harrison Hill" segment in the dreamscape, the sun is orange and the everything looking a lot darker, in contrast with this video of the dreamscape. I'd re-download it, but I kind of like it. It makes it look like the sun setting is which suits the song better and sets it apart from Here Comes The Sun, and also creates a timeline of the "Harrison Hill" songs, which is a little strange.
Has anyone else been "lucky" enough to have this?

We recently had the chance to visit Loreto and discover the magic, the beauty, and the real paradise that this destination has to offer.
Located on the Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California) in the State of Baja California Sur in Mexico, Loreto is an ideal place for the perfect escape.
Whether you are looking for a quiet place to relax from it all or a more adventurous vacation full of fun and exciting things to do, Loreto will not disappoint you.
And the best place to stay just happens to be the only Five-Star resort in Loreto: Villa del Palmar Beach Resort & Spa at the Islands of Loreto.
Villa del Palmar is a fantastic resort with 180 luxury rooms with a Jacuzzi tub in each suite and well equipped with full kitchens. It is located on 1,800 hectares of property surrounded by nature and its own beach cove at Ensenada Blanca Beach.
The resort also has 5 pools, a world-class spa, a mini market, a kids' area, and three restaurants.
The entertainment at Villa del Palmar is endless. Every day there are fun activities scheduled all day long. Start early with a morning hike on one of the trails that overlook the beautiful islands of Loreto.
Throughout your hike, you will see the diversity of vegetation in the area, the amazing water colors of the Sea of Cortez, and if you are lucky, you could spot Baja condors flying around the coast. Just make sure you are wearing enough sunblock.
If you wish to enjoy the resort's activities, you can join the aqua-aerobics classes at the main pool every day. On different nights, they have a variety of great shows. Don't miss Mexican Night on Saturdays; it is a fun, colorful display of all the important traditional dances of Mexico.
As far as water activities, Loreto is a true paradise. Not only is Loreto one of the best whale-watching spots during the winter months, but all year round you can enjoy great kayaking, snorkeling, scuba diving, and paddle boarding.
The late Sea Explorer Jacques Cousteau actually dubbed the Sea of Cortez "the aquarium of the world" due to the hundreds of species unique to the region.
Wild Loreto is a company with friendly staff and many years of experience who have an office in Villa del Palmar's lobby.
Their staff can help you choose among all the fun activities and tours you can do during your stay in Loreto. They also have kayaks, paddle boards, and snorkeling equipment for rent.
If you wish to ride on a catamaran boat around the islands, they can help you as well.
We took a boat to Danzante Island and it was an incredible experience. We saw many dolphins on the way there and we snorkeled at Honeymoon Beach, where we saw starfish and other types of sea life.
Historic Downtown
Not many know that Loreto is of great importance in the history of California. Actually, of both Californias: the Alta California and the Baja California.
The first mission was established in 1697 in Loreto, which also became the capital of the Californias.
And it is from here that the Spanish went on to build missions and presidios that went all the way up north ending at the Mission San Francisco Solano de Sonoma following El Camino Real.
Furthermore, the famous "Camino Real" actually starts in Loreto. Despite this importance, the town of Loreto has remained small, with a population of about 10,000 people.
If you want to be closer to the historic downtown, Hotel Santa Fe Loreto is a great place to stay. The spacious rooms are equipped with full kitchens and the hotel offers a pool, hot tub, and plenty of parking. It's only a short walk to visit the historical Mission of Loreto.
How to get there
Loreto is such an easy destination to get to. From LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) there are several airlines that fly there. You can get great specials on a charter flight with CalJet Airlines.
They have a fantastic schedule leaving and returning on Saturdays. And best of all, the flight only takes 1 hour 40 minutes. It's that fast!
If you love adventure and beautiful scenic road trips, you can go by car. Driving from San Diego is about 13 hours.
Most people drive to the town of Guerrero Negro on the Pacific side and spend the night, arriving in Loreto the next day.
If you're looking for a relaxing beach getaway paired with authentic Mexican charm, Loreto is a destination you won't want to miss. But hurry before it's discovered!

Crochet Christmas Trees
Hoo hoo hoo, hee hee hee
Someone came and they found me,
And took me home with them!
Oh, I'm the happiest Christmas tree,
Hoo hoo hoo, hee hee hee
Look how pretty they dressed me,
Oh, lucky, lucky me!
You might remember their simple beginnings a while back:
And many of you clever peeps had guessed correctly, too!
They have taken me an age to finish. For no other reason than being distracted by everything else:
1. Craft fair/shopping night. Big success. Sold lots- now panicking ever so slightly over need to replenish stocks for more upcoming sales.
2. EBay. Compulsive. (Bob the builder pants sold at a profit)
3. A cowl. For myself. I would actually like to finish it while it is still cold.
Back to the trees.
Fancy making one, or two, or a shelf-ful?
Here's my pattern to make the smallest, squattest tree.
Want a taller one? The instructions are below too.
If you make some, then do let me know how you get on and don't forget to link back to this post if you mention them on your lovely blogs.
You'll need:
Whatever hooks and yarn you have to hand
Stitch marker
Felt for base
Beads/buttons etc to decorate
These are crocheted in the round, amigurumi-style and I use US crochet terms
Sc 4 in magic ring (find good tutorials for this on YouTube)
1) [sc, 2 sc in next stitch] repeat around (6 stitches)
2) [sc, 2 sc in next stitch] repeat around (9 stitches)
3) [sc, sc, 2 sc in next stitch] repeat around (12 stitches)
4) [sc, sc, 2 sc in next stitch] repeat around (16 stitches)
5) [sc, sc, sc, 2 sc in next stitch] repeat around (20 stitches)
6) [sc, sc, sc, sc 2 sc in next stitch] repeat around (24 stitches)
7) sc 24
8) [sc 2 tog] repeat around (12 stitches)
9) sc 12
10) [sc 2 tog] repeat around (6 stitches)
11) [2 sc in each stitch] repeat around (12 stitches)
12) [sc, 2 sc in next stitch] repeat around (18 stitches)
Cut a felt circle to stick to the bottom of your tree to neaten things up.
These will stand quite happily on their own, but would also be perfect as tree ornaments too. Just attach some ribbon.
To make your tree taller, insert the following rounds:
2a) sc 9
2b) sc 9
3a) sc 12
3b) sc 12
You get the idea.
Job done.

Well done, they are gorgeous.

These are BRILLIANT - and so it your little poem!!! You're so clever! I especially love the ones with the buttons (of course). :)
I can't believe you've only been crocheting for such a short time. How did you learn? Did someone teach you? Or did you teach yourself? Can you reccommend a good book that teaches the basics?
Glad you had a successful show. I'm a similar panic - i've sent out invitations to an 'open house' party on 1st December, and am making, making, making like MAD!!!

State leaders are considering introducing a bill that would allow high school students to enroll in community college courses for free. Community College System Chancellor Mark Heinrich says he is working with lawmakers to draft a bill on the issue as early as the 2013 legislative session. Heinrich says allowing dual enrollment in high school and community college would better prepare students for post-secondary and technical education, or to immediately enter the workforce. State leaders say they could maximize participation in community college courses by offering them for free, but acknowledge that funding such a program could be a potential hurdle.

Sana'a (also spelled Sanaa or Sana; Arabic: صنعاء Ṣanʿāʾ pronounced [sˤɑnʕaːʔ], Yemeni Arabic: [ˈsˤɑnʕɑ]) is the capital of Yemen and the centre of Sana'a Governorate. The city is not part of the Governorate, but forms the separate administrative district of "Amanat Al-Asemah".
Sana'a is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. At an altitude of 2,300 metres (7,500 ft), it is also one of the highest capital cities in the world. Sana'a has a population of approximately 1,937,500 (2012), making it Yemen's largest city.
The old city of Sana'a, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has a distinctive visual character due its unique architectural characteristics, most notably expressed in its multi-storey buildings decorated with geometric patterns.[1][2] Located here is the Great Mosque of Sana'a, the largest in the city.
Ancient period[edit]
Sana'a is one of the oldest populated places in the world. According to popular legend, it was founded by Shem, the son of Noah.[3][4] It was known as "Azal" in ancient times, referring to Uzal, a son of Qahtan, who was a great-grandson of Shem. Its current name likely derived from the South Arabian word for "well-fortified".
The Arab historian al-Hamdani wrote that Sana'a was walled by the Sabeans under their ruler Sha'r Awtar, who also built the Ghumdan Palace in the city. Because of its location, Sana'a has served as an urban center for the surrounding tribes of the region and as a nucleus of regional trade in southern Arabia. It was positioned at the crossroad of two major ancient trade routes linking Marib in the east to the Red Sea in the west.[4]
When King Yousef Athar (or Dhu Nuwas), the last of the Himyarite kings, was in power, Sana'a was also the capital of the Ethiopian viceroys.
Islamic era[edit]
From the dawn of Islam until the founding of independent sub-states in many parts of the Yemen Islamic Caliphate, Sana'a persisted as the governing seat. The Caliph's deputy ran the affairs of one of Yemen's three Makhalifs: Mikhlaf Sana'a, Mikhlaf al-Janad and Mikhlaf Hadhramawt. The city of Sana'a regularly regained an important status and all Yemenite States competed to control it.
Imam al-Shafi'i, the 8th-century Islamic jurist and founder of the Shafi'i school or jurisprudence, visited Sana'a several times. He praised the city, writing La budda min Ṣanʻā', or "Sana'a must be seen." In the 9th–10th centuries, the Yemeni geographer al-Hamdani took note of the city's cleanliness, saying "The least dwelling there has a well or two, a garden and long cesspits separate from each other, empty of ordure, without smell or evil odors, because of the hard concrete (adobe and Cob probably) and fine pastureland and clean places to walk." Later in the 10th-century, the Persian geographer Ibn Rustah wrote of Sana'a "It is the city of Yemen—there not being found ... a city greater, more populous or more prosperous, of nobler origin or more delicious food than it."
In 1062 Sana'a was taken over by the Sulayhid dynasty led by Ali al-Sulayhi and his wife, the popular Queen Asma. He made the city capital of his relatively small kingdom, which also included the Haraz Mountains. The Sulayhids were aligned with the Ismaili Muslim-leaning Fatimid Caliphate of Egypt, rather than the Baghdad-based Abbasid Caliphate which most of Arabia followed. Al-Sulayhi ruled for about 20 years but he was assassinated by his principal local rivals, the Zabid-based Najahids. Following his death, al-Sulayhi's daughter, Arwa al-Sulayhi, inherited the throne. She withdrew from Sana'a, transferring the Sulayhid capital to Jibla, where she ruled much of Yemen from 1067 to 1138. As a result of the Sulayhid departure, the Hamdanid dynasty took control of Sana'a.[5]
In 1173 Saladin, the Ayyubid sultan of Egypt, sent his brother Turan-Shah on an expedition to conquer Yemen. The Ayyubids gained control of Sana'a in 1175 and united the various Yemeni tribal states, except for the northern mountains controlled by the Zaydi imams, into one entity.[5] The Ayyubids switched the country's official religious allegiance to the Sunni Muslim Abbasids. During the reign of the Ayyubid emir Tughtekin ibn Ayyub, the city underwent significant improvements. These included the incorporation of the garden lands on the western bank of the Sa'ilah, known as Bustan al-Sultan, where the Ayyubids built one of their palaces.[6] Despite Sana'a's strategic position, the Ayyubids chose Ta'izz as their capital while Aden was their principal income-producing city.
While the Rasulids controlled most of Yemen, followed by their successors the Tahirids, Sana'a largely remained in the political orbit of the Zaydi imams from 1323 to 1454 and outside the former two dynasties' rule.[7] The Mamelukes arrived in Yemen in 1517.
Ottoman era[edit]
The Ottoman Empire entered Yemen in 1538 when Suleiman the Magnificent was Sultan.[8] Under the military leadership of Özdemir Pasha, the Ottomans conquered Sana'a in 1547.[7] With Ottoman approval, European captains based in the Yemeni port towns of Aden and Mocha frequented Sana'a to maintain special privileges and capitulations for their trade. In 1602 the local Zaydi imams led by Imam al-Mu'ayyad reasserted their control over the area,[8] and forced out Ottoman troops in 1629. Although the Ottomans fled during al-Mu'ayyad's reign, his predecessor al-Mansur al-Qasim had vastly weakened the Ottoman army in Sana'a and Yemen.[7] Consequently, European traders were stripped of their previous privileges.[8]
The Zaydi imams maintained their rule over Sana'a until the mid 19th-century, when the Ottomans relaunched their campaign to control the region. In 1835, Ottoman troops arrived on the Yemeni coast under the guise of Muhammad Ali of Egypt's troops.[8] They did not capture Sana'a until 1872, when their troops led by Ahmed Muhtar Pasha entered the city.[7] The Ottoman Empire instituted the Tanzimat reforms throughout the lands they governed.
In Sana'a, city planning was initiated for the first time, new roads were built, and schools and hospitals were established. The reforms were rushed by the Ottomans in order to solidify their control of Sana'a to compete with an expanding Egypt, British influence in Aden and imperial Italian and French influence along the coast of Somalia, particularly in the towns of Djibouti and Berbera. The modernization reforms in Sana'a were still very limited, however.[9]
North Yemen period[edit]
In 1904, as Ottoman influence was waning in Yemen, Imam Yahya of the Zaydi imams took power in Sana'a. In a bid to secure North Yemen's independence, Yahya embarked on a policy of isolationism, avoiding international and Arab world politics, cracking down on embryonic liberal movements, not contributing to the development of infrastructure in Sana'a and elsewhere and closing down the Ottoman girls' school. As a consequence of Yahya's measures, Sana'a increasingly became a center of anti-government organization and intellectual revolt.[9]
In the 1930s, several organizations opposing or demanding reform of the Zaydi imamate sprung up in the city, particularly Fatat al-Fulayhi, a group of various Yemeni Muslim scholars based in Sana'a's Fulayhi Madrasa, and Hait al-Nidal ("Committee of the Struggle.") By 1936 the leaders of these movements mostly imprisoned. In 1941 another group based in the city, the Shabab al-Amr bil-Maruf wal-Nahian al-Munkar, called for a nahda ("renaissance") in the country as well as the establishment of a parliament with Islam being the instrument of Yemeni revival. Yahya largely repressed the Shabab and most of its leaders were executed following his son, Imam Ahmad's inheritance of power in 1948.[9] That year, Sana'a was replaced with Ta'izz as capital following Ahmad's new residence there. Most government offices followed suit. A few years later, most of the city's Jewish population emigrated to Israel.[10]
Ahmad began a process of gradual economic and political liberalization, but by 1961 Sana'a was witnessing major demonstrations and riots demanding quicker reform and change. Pro-republican officers in the North Yemeni military sympathetic of Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt's government and pan-Arabist policies staged a coup overthrowing the Imamate government in September 1962, a week after Ahmad's death.[9] Sana'a's role as capital was restored afterward. [10] Neighboring Saudi Arabia opposed this development and actively supported North Yemen's rural tribes, pitting large parts of the country against the urban and largely pro-republican inhabitants of Sana'a.[9] The North Yemen Civil War resulted in the destruction of some parts of the city's ancient heritage and continued until 1968 when a deal between the republicans and the royalists was reached,[10] establishing a presidential system. Instability in Sana'a continued due to continuing coups and political assassinations until the situation in the country stabilized in the late 1970s.[9]
British writer Jonathan Raban visited in the 1970s and described the city as fortress-like, its architecture and layout resembling a labyrinth," further noting "It was like stepping out into the middle of a vast pop-up picturebook. Away from the street, the whole city turned into a maze of another kind, a dense, jumbled alphabet of signs and symbols."
Contemporary era[edit]
Following the unification of Yemen, Sana'a was designated capital of the new Republic of Yemen. It houses the presidential palace, the parliament, the supreme court and the country's government ministries. The largest source of employment is provided by the governmental civil service. Due to massive rural immigration, Sana'a has grown far outside its Old City, but this has placed a huge strain on the city's underdeveloped infrastructure and municipal services, particularly water.[9]
Sana'a was chosen as the 2004 Arab Cultural Capital by the Arab League. In 2008, the Saleh Mosque was completed. It holds over 40,000 worshipers.
On 21 May 2012, Sana'a was attacked by a suicide bomber, resulting in the deaths of 120 soldiers.
On 5th of December 2013 @ 09:13am, another suicide blast has jolt the capital city, resulting in the deaths of 80+ innocent Doctors, Nurses & Soldiers!
Geography and climate[edit]
Generally, Sana'a is divided into two parts: the Old City District ("al-Qadeemah") and the new city ("al-Jadid.") The former is much smaller and retains the city's ancient heritage and mercantile way-of-living while the latter is an urban sprawl with many suburbs and modern buildings. The newer parts of the city were largely developed in the 1960s and onward when Sana'a was chosen as the republican capital.[10]
The following are the list of districts in the city:
New City |
Old City |
Sana'a features the very rare mild version of a desert climate. Sana'a sees on average approximately 200 mm of precipitation per year. However, due to its high elevation, temperatures are much more moderate than many other cities on the Arabian Peninsula. In fact, average temperatures remain relatively constant throughout the year in Sana'a, with its coldest month being January and its warmest month in July. The city seldom experiences extreme heat or cold. However, some areas around the city can see temperatures fall to around 15 °F or 20 °F (−9 °C or −7 °C) during winter. Frost usually occurs in the early winter mornings, and there is a slight wind chill in the city at elevated ares that causes the cold mornings to be oddly bitter, including low humidity. The Sun warms the city to the high 60s °F (15…20 °C) and low 70s °F (21…26 °C) during the noontime but it drops drastically as night falls in. The city experiences many microclimates from district to district because of its location in the Sana'a basin and uneven elevations throughout the city. Summers are warm and can cool rapidly at night, especially after rainfall. Sana'a receives half of its annual rainfall during the months of July and August. Rainfall comes depending on the year; some years could see 500–600 mm of rainfall, while others can barely get 150 mm. High temperatures have increased slightly during the summer over the past few years, however, low temperatures and winter temperatures have dramatically fallen over the same period.

Old City[edit]
The old fortified city has been inhabited for more than 2,500 years and contains many intact architectural gems. It was declared a World Heritage Site by the United Nations in 1986. Efforts are underway to preserve some of the oldest buildings some of which, such as the Samsarh and the Great Mosque of Sana'a, are more than 1,400 years old. Surrounded by ancient clay walls which stand 9–14 metres (30–46 ft) high, the old city contains more than 100 mosques, 12 hammams (baths) and 6,500 houses. Many of the houses resemble ancient skyscrapers, reaching several stories high and topped with flat roofs. They are decorated with elaborate friezes and intricately carved frames and stained-glass windows.
One of the most popular attractions is Suq al-Milh (Salt Market), where it is possible to buy salt along with bread, spices, raisins, cotton, copper, pottery, silverware, and antiques. The 7th-century Jami' al-Kabir (Great Mosque) is one of the oldest mosques in the world. The Bāb al-Yaman (Yemen Gate) is an iconized entry point through the city walls and is more than 1,000 years old.
A commercial area of the old city is known as Al Madina where development is proceeding rapidly. In addition to three large hotels, there are numerous stores and restaurants. The area also contains three parks and the President's palace.
Football (soccer) is the most popular sport in Sana'a. The city is home to the Ali Muhesen Stadium, home of the Yemen national football team, and is mostly used for football matches. The stadium holds 25,000 people.
Population growth spiked starting in the 1960s as a result of mass rural migration to the city in search of employment and improved standard of living.[10] Sana'a is the fastest growing capital city in the world with a growth rate of 7%,[15] while the growth rate of the nation as a whole is 3.2%.[16] About 10% of the population resides in the Old City, while the remainder live in the outside districts.[10]
Jewish community[edit]
Jews have been present in Yemen since the 10th-century BCE and form one of the most historic Jewish diasporas. After the creation of the state of Israel about 49,000 (of an estimated 51,000) of Yemeni Jews were airlifted to Israel, almost 10,000 of whom were from Sana'a (see the English-language book Jews and Muslims in lower Yemen: a study in protection and restraint, 1918–1949). There was essentially no Jewish population in Sana'a until the Sa'dah insurgency broke out in Saada Governorate in 2004. The Houthi rebels directly threatened the Jewish community in 2007, prompting the government of President Saleh to offer them refuge in Sana'a. As of 2010, there were around 70 Jews living in the capital under government protection.[17]
Historically, Sana'a had a mining industry. The hills around Sana'a were mined for onyx, chalcedony, and cornelian.[18] The city was also known for its metalwork, which the British described as "famous" in the early 20th century, but declining in popularity.[19] As of 1920, Sana'a was described by the British as being "well supplied with fruit and grapes, and has good water."[20]
As the capital city of Yemen, 40% of jobs in Sana'a are in the public sector. Other primary sources of formal employment in the city are trade and industry. Like many other cities in the developing world, Sana'a has a large informal sector which is estimated to constitute 32% of nongovernmental employment. However, while there is a greater variety of jobs in Sana'a as compared to other cities in Yemen, there is also greater poverty and unemployment. It is estimated that 25% of the labor force in Sana'a is unemployed.[21]
Yemenia, the national airline of Yemen, has its head office in Sana'a.[22] Sana'a International Airport is Yemen's main domestic and international airport. There is currently no rail network but there are plans to install one in the future. A primary means of transport in the city is via dababs, minibuses which carry about 10 people. Taxis are also a very common form of public transport and there are coaches to major cities such as Aden and Taiz.

Science article recognizes John Mashey
Science article recognizes John Mashey
Updated: With complete list of Mashey Papers
Computer scientist, entrepreneur, periodic DeSmogBlog contributor and "one of the good guys" John Mashey is the subject of an extremely favorable profile this week in Science.
Science writer Eli Kintisch looks back over the last couple of years at the research and reports that Mashey has produced. Calling Mashey "an amateur" (which, on the question of climate science, he freely admits to being), Kintisch then looks for some journalistic "balance," interviewing one person who is defensive and critical in the face of Mashey's work (the confused and compromised physicist Will Happer) and one who is reassured and delighted ("hockey stick" co-author and director of the Earth System Science Center at Penn State, Michael Mann).
"Both sides can agree on one thing, however: Mashey has become one of the most visible of a new generation of climate warriors."Kintisch canvases the reason that Mashey got involved in the first place - why he spends his retirement from designing computer systems by feverishly documenting "climate anti-science."
"Mashey became upset that they (friends in the climate science community) were being attacked by bloggers and lawmakers and subjected to anonymous threats. '(Science historian) Naomi (Oreskes) is a friend, and she gets death threats. Mike Mann's a friend, and he gets death threats. It pisses me off,' Mashey says. 'They get harassed and discouraged for doing a good job for everybody's grandchildren.'"
So, with a computer programer's zest for detail, Mashey wades through the flawed and contradictory material that constitutes the attack on climate science, producing voluminous and carefully credited reports that, in at least one recent case, result in the embarrassment of warriors on the other side of the argument and in a restoration of accuracy in the published record.
The Science article concludes:
"Mashey believes that vanquishing scientists' foes will serve a higher purpose. 'It's up to some of the rest of us to help get these guys off your backs so you can do the science,' he tells his scientist allies. He thinks discrediting their opponents also allows society to focus on the biggest problem: the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 'Goal number two is, try to help lessen the impact of climate antiscience on public policy before it commits the U.S. to be an increasingly bad place to live,' he says."

Thank you for defending the climate scientists from people like Inhofe, Barton, and Cuccinelli.
The arrogant Cuccinelli's persecution of Dr. Mann is despicable. He has hijacked the office of Attorney General and turned it into a political police like the KGB. He's just like the KGB--he confuses people with lies and fabricates a "legal" case against Dr. Mann.
This is nothing but legalized lawlessness. Cuccinelli is persecuting Dr. Mann under the color of law.
I voted for Cuccinelli, but I didn't know then what I know now.
Cuccinelli is the greedy fabricator who is tricking us, not Dr. Mann. Cuccinelli's father is a career lobbyist for the natural gas industry whose company gave 96,000 to Cucinelli's campaign. Cuccinelli may also benefit personally from his father's business.
The father is the head of a marketing company called Quest Fore. He gives presentations to the APGA--the American Public Gas Association.
Dr. Mann's research has been upheld by several committees of scholars, but Cuccinelli attacks his credibility with this fake Wegman Report.
Wegman and the others should tell how this happened so the American people can find out who put them up to writing this plagiarized report.
The part I still don't understand is how did they manage to plagiarize Dr. Bradley's textbook. Since Bradley was one of the targets of the Report, Wegman had to have known that Bradley would notice his book was plagiarized and sometimes reworded to change its meaning. Nobody is that stupid, so how did that happen?
The fact that the text of one of the scientists being criticized was plagiarized shows that the whole Wegman Report is a joke.
Snapple: thanks.
This is covered on p.9 of Strange Falsifications in the WR:
"The WR pages immediately preceding this WR text use (properly-cited) tables from Bradley and the text ends with a (vague) citation to Bradley.
Field experts are much less likely to study introductory material in a long report than are non-experts. An expert might likely:
- see relevant and familiar words
- see a famous textbook mentioned several times
- skim quickly and skip to the seemingly-new results in later WR sections."
But read p.4 and p.5 to see the WR, and how much came from Bradley.
1) Thanks to all for the kind words, but also thank DeSMogBlog for publishing pieces of mine starting years ago and being generally helpful, and regarding the Wegman stuff, we really do owe this to DC.
For various reasons, there have been many connections with British Columbia in all this.
2) Regarding GMU: The Center for Climate Communication is run by Ed Maibach, who Mike Mann has coauthored with, and sends people to AGU. They are OK.
Much of GMU looks like perfectly normal academe, there are just a few departments, some of the institutes (esp. the Koch-funded ones like Mercatus), a few departments, and some of the administration to worry about.

Wow Stevil, you just saved me a lot of re-work on my x5 install with this - THANK YOU!
I used Fechter's directions (THANK YOU TOO!) to install a CycleAnalyst connector (minus speedo/hall). I have to think these through each time I do them, so I though some pics might help if anyone else is as dumb as me. The colors on my connector are different, so I include a pic to show you that. I really appreciated the grommet setup on the Shenzhen - each wire has its own individual hole, somewhat sealed, and there were 6 free holes

Sony Pictures Classics have launched a website for Dan's upcoming film Kill Your Darlings, which is released in US cinemas from 16th October, and UK cinemas from 8th November.
Click the image below to be taken to the site and explore images, a trailer, production notes and cast & crew biographies.
Kill Your Darlings will be released in the US in less than a month, and Dan has been booked on to several shows to promote the film (thanks for the info, Sarah!), and given the timing, will most likely also talk about A Young Doctor's Notebook.
On 30th September he will appear on The Today Show, and Live with Kelly and Michael. He will also record an appearance for The Katie Couric Show. On 4th October, Dan will appear on Ellen.
Kill Your Darlings is released in NY and LA on 16th October, before rolling out across US cinemas from 18th October. It will also premiere in the UK at the BFI London Film Festival on 17th October.
A Young Doctor's Notebook will air on Ovation from 3rd October.
Ovation has released three on-set videos in the run up to the season premiere of A Young Doctor's Notebook on October 2nd.
"He's an enthusiastic, wonderful, young man. He's got a tremendous work ethic and is a lovely guy. It's an important thing to cast somebody in a lead that you have confidence that they're going to be able to pull off the amount of work, especially when you're working on a relatively small budget and under schedule constraints. I mean, we're getting a lot of value for the time we're spending on shooting this and Dan has been, for the first two weeks, in almost every scene and has pulled all of them off with physical comedy…with tons of props that aren't things we normally use. It's been a blast."
Dan goes on to mention:
"I was so flattered that Jon thought of me and everyone gave me the chance to do something like this…which is different than anything I've done before. Also the idea that I may, one day, be as handsome as Jon Hamm – I live in hope!"
Catch the sneak peak at the links below:
For fans in the U.K., Sky Arts is expected to air the sequel, A Young Doctor's Notebook and Other Stories, in late November/early December.
Many thanks to our Order Partners RGN for the first video in ABC's rather Pottery weekend… You can view it here in HD or watch the video below…
Thank you to GRA's Carole for finding the following article and video from Cineplex.com. Behind the 'read more'.

I learned a lot at Strawbery Banke. One thing that I learned was, that on Thanksgiving poor people would go to rich people's houses to beg for food. I also learned that the preparation for Thanksgiving is very time consuming, compared to how we do it now. They had to make everything from scratch. Also, for the big, rich families Thanksgiving meant that hundreds of pies would be made.
