Summary of Gimme Something Better Summary of Gimme Something Better Reviews for Gimme Something Better An Excerpt from Gimme Something Better
An oral history of the modern punk-revivals West Coast Birthplace
Outside of New York and London, Californias Bay Area claims the oldest continuous punk-rock scene in the world. Gimme Something Better brings this outrageous and influential punk scene to life, from the notorious final performance of the Sex Pistols, to Jello Biafras bid for mayor, the rise of Maximum RocknRoll magazine, and the East Bay pop-punk sound that sold millions around the globe. Throngs of punks, including members of the Dead Kennedys, Avengers, Flipper, MDC, Green Day, Rancid, NOFX, and AFI, tell their own stories in this definitive account, from the innovative art-damage of San Franciscos Fab Mab in North Beach, to the still vibrant all-ages DIY ethos of Berkeleys Gilman Street. Compiled by longtime Bay Area journalists Jack Boulware and Silke Tudor, Gimme Something Better chronicles more than two decades of punk music, progressive politics, social consciousness, and divine decadence, told by the people who made it happen.

I congratulate President Obama on his inauguration, and I join the country in celebrating this American tradition.
The president and I were political opponents. We had strong disagreements over the direction of the country—as we still do now. But today, we put those disagreements aside. Today, we remember what we share in common.
We serve the same country, one that is still in need of repair—and is still the freest on earth. We serve alongside men and women from both parties, who govern in good faith and good will. Finally, we serve the same people, who have honored us with their charge.
We may disagree on matters of policy. But today we remember why we take those matters so seriously—because we seek the public good. It's our highest duty—one that we share—and one for which we're grateful.
I'm happy to mark this historic occasion—for the president and for the country. And I look forward to tackling the big challenges ahead.

How Healthy Are Your Bones? Your Anti-Osteoporosis Plan

The Breaking Point
You like to think you've got an advanced degree when it comes to health: You wear sunscreen. You've traded cream for skim in your coffee. As for exercise, friends call you the Boot-Camp Queen. So what if we told you that these things could potentially put you at a much greater risk for developing osteoporosis?
"In my practice, I see healthy-looking women in their 20s and 30s with brittle bones who think they're doing all the right things for their bodies," says Elizabeth Shane, MD, a professor of medicine and endocrinology and an osteoporosis researcher at Columbia University Medical Center in New York City. "They are trying so hard to keep their weight low that they're skimping on important nutrients or working out too much. It's a recipe for early bone loss." In fact, a disturbing 15 percent of college-age women have lost enough bone mass to put them at an elevated risk for osteoporosis; another 2 percent already have the disease, according to a study from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Even children are suffering: Girls are 56 percent more likely to fracture an arm today than they were 30 years ago, which researchers speculate may be due in part to lower calcium intake.
Though thinner women are more susceptible to bone loss at a young age, the chance of any young woman getting properly screened is slim. "The medical community usually thinks of bone loss as a problem for older people," says Susan Brown, PhD, director of the Foundation for Better Bones, a nonprofit organization in East Syracuse, New York. "Doctors seeing a young woman with a fracture may not think to investigate the strength of her bones, even when the break occurs from a minor trauma." The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, a panel that advises the Department of Health and Human Services, recommends regular bone-density scans (an enhanced form of x-ray technology that's used to measure bone loss) only for women 65 and older. There are no guidelines for younger women, opening the door to some serious errors.
Take 30-year-old Marcia Cronin, a strong and athletic gym enthusiast. Marcia took a tumble down a flight of stairs in 2001, fracturing her ankle. "The orthopedic surgeon in the ER was shocked by how severe the break was," Marcia says. "I remember him repeating, 'Really, just one flight of stairs?'" Three years later a car crash caused four separate fractures between her forearm and wrist. Her bones splintered so badly that titanium plates were needed to repair them. But it wasn't until a regular checkup in 2006 that her general practitioner thought to order a bone-density scan. The diagnosis: osteopenia, aka low bone density, a precursor to osteoporosis. A later blood test showed that Marcia had a very low amount of vitamin D, a bone-building nutrient, in her system. Even though her D levels quickly returned to normal after she increased her intake of the vitamin, her bones never fully recovered. Marcia's doctors suspect that her naturally thin build and her genetics (she comes from a long line of small-framed women) also played a role in her low bone density. "It took so long to get my bones checked that they're now permanently weakened," Marcia says. Just last summer, she broke her foot by simply stepping off a curb.
Marcia's case is exceptionally severe, but it's not too late for most women to take charge of their bone health -- even after the "building" stage ends at around age 30, says Robert Recker, MD, director of the osteoporosis research center at Creighton University in Omaha. "New research shows that you can still fight osteoporosis well past 30 by maintaining what you've got," he says. Your plan starts here.

A popular Hawaiian recording artist turned a top-security dinner ofPacific Rim leaders hosted by President Barack Obama into a subtle protest with a song in support of the "Occupy" movement.
Makana, who goes by one name, was enlisted to play a luau, or Hawaiian feast, Saturday night for leaders assembled in Obama's birthplace Honolulu for an annual summit that is formulating plans for a Pacific free-trade pact.
But in the midst of the dinner on the resort strip Waikiki Beach, he pulled open his jacket to reveal a T-shirt that read "Occupy with Aloha," using the Hawaiian word whose various meanings include love and peace. He then sang a marathon version of his new song "We Are The Many."
"I was pretty nervous. In fact I was terrified. I kept thinking 'what are the consequences going to be?'" Makana, 33, told AFP.
"It was incredibly comical. I was terrified but also enjoying it," he said.
Makana, who was born Matthew Swalinkavich, said the song prompted awkward stares from a few of those present but the Obamas appeared too absorbed with their guests to notice what was happening.
The performance occurred at a dinner for summit participants from 21 economies around the Asia-Pacific, including Chinese President Hu Jintao and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, amid a security lockdown in Waikiki.
As Makana sang, about 400 protesters including anti-globalization and native Hawaiian rights activists staged a protest march toward the dinner site but turned back after encountering the smothering security.
Makana released the song on the Internet the day before and decided to play it at the urging of fans, he said.
Inspired by the anti-capitalist movement that began with the "Occupy Wall Street" demonstrations in New York, it denounces Washington politicians, corporate greed and what he sees as an unfair American economic system.
The song features the refrain, "We'll occupy the streets, we'll occupy the courts, we'll occupy the offices of you, till you do the bidding of the many, not the few."
He sang it "over and over" for 40 minutes, varying his tempo and delivery to avoid triggering an overt reaction.
"Whenever I felt the heat might come down, I would ease off. It was a very careful procedure," he said.
Thanx, Dart! I had not heard of this. Makana pretty good, hunh?
Tiger--you do facebook. How 'bout posting this on that Occupy page you frequent?
Looks great. Thanx. http://www.facebook.com/occupysanantonio
Our brothers, sisters, and comrades in New York, Oakland & other cities had their "freedoms" stomped on by their own government last night. Call on all Occupy supporters everywhere to show solidarity. This movement will not be terrorized into going away.
The actions in NYC were those of a despot - cloaked in darkness, surprise, militarized stormtroops, no press, no warning and hardly a thin veneer of "legality" to evict. Some say actions not worthy of America. Shame on Bloomberg and his stormtroops!
Our friends across the Maghreb will find these images tame--and they may be, SO FAR. Do not be fooled. These thugs in blue are fundamentally the same as Mubarak's. It is only a question of how soon their masters will order a deadly attack.
Unfortunately, this IS the Amerika I know, the face against which John Reed, Jack London & other chroniclers of the people's struggle warned for a century & more. Now a new generation sees what lurks behind the Yankee mask. "Class war" has come again to the USA.
Occupy Wall Street (OWS) is an ongoing series of demonstrations beginning in New York City's Zuccotti Park in the Wall Street financial district. The park was occupied consistently from September 17th to November 15th, 2011 when police evicted the protestors after almost two months [5]. The movement was initiated by Canadian activist group Adbusters[6] and has since developed into a series of movements worldwide. The participants are mainly protesting social and economic inequality, corporate greed, corruption and influence over government—particularly from the financial services sector—as well as lobbyists and the jobless rate. The protesters' slogan "We are the 99%" refers to the growing difference in wealth and income growth in the U.S. between the wealthiest 1% and the rest of the population.
"Fascism is capitalism in decay"
"Can a nation be free if it oppresses other nations? It cannot."
"One man with a gun can control 100 without one. "
See what I mean--what's this shit? We "don't do this in Amerika". Yeah, right.
NEW YORK — Journalists have been detained by police while covering Occupy Wall Street protests in New York.
Associated Press writer Karen Matthews was taken into custody Tuesday along with AP photographer Seth Wenig (WEH-nig) and Daily News reporter Matthew Lysiak.
When they were detained, they were covering protests at a property in lower Manhattan hours after police cleared a park of the main Occupy encampment.
Wall Street Journal reporter Alison Fox saw Matthews and Lysiak being placed in handcuffs. Another AP reporter later saw Matthews and Wenig being removed in a police van.
Freelance radio journalist Julie Walker says she was arrested on disorderly conduct.
Police didn't have a count of how many journalists were arrested and didn't immediately comment.
Two journalists were briefly detained Sunday during an Occupy raid in Chapel Hill, N.C.
Stay chill, Tiger. Violence is not needed. They do not dare to confront this...
Protesters have voted to pitch tents Tuesday night at UC Berkeley. Other Occupy encampments throughout the Bay Area remain peaceful Tuesday.
8:40 PST At least six tents pitched at Sproul Plaza, people on building rooftops
UC Berkeley students, alumni and community members -- possibly as many as 5,000 people -- are gathered on Sproul Plaza for the Mario Savio Lecture series with UC Berkeley public policy professor and former U. S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich, who is preparing to speak. Several older alumni have joined the crowed to hear Reich speak.
About six tents have been set up in the middle of the audience following the general assembly's vote to re-occupy Cal. Some people have taken to the rooftops of Cal buildings, but no problems have been reported so far.

PS: "mumbo-jumbo"... "tea party"... lol
Early this morning, police cleared a small offshoot of the Occupy San Francisco camp. UC Berkeley protesters are expected to join Occupy SF for a downtown rally and march this afternoon. About 20 tents are pitched at Sproul Plaza from overnight and protesters have asked for a dialogue with university officials.
2:35 p.m.: BofA officials sign paperwork for an order for police to disperse crowd
About 2:30, bank managers asked everyone to leave and they were shouted down.
Protesters were running around the bank, standing on desks and writing "Occupy Bank of America" on bank calendars, chanting, "Whose bank, our bank."
One man, Mike Ahmadi, from Livermore, came in to deposit a check from his business but there were no tellers so managers wouldn't take his check.
"I'm a satisfied customer of Bank of America, but I must be the exception to the rule,'' he laughed. When asked is he supports the protesters, he said.
There are still about 100 people in the bank.
2:30 p.m.: Protesters 'occupy' BofA lobby
About 100 protesters are literally occupying the lobby at Bank of America at 50 California St., as most employees have fled from the area.
"Now they see how to evacuate the camp," said Occupy protester Stand 42 Life.
The group is pounding on drums, and some protesters are dancing on the counters. One officer is in the lobby, taking a report from the bank manager.
1:20 p.m.: San Francisco protesters begin to march
Protesters, including students and a strong union presence, are beginning to march, blocking traffic as they cross Embarcadero in front of the Ferry Building (where a gourmet lunch crowd is dining). Protesters are heading down the Embarcadero heading in the direction towards Fisherman's Wharf. Police are now redirecting traffic to allow the march. The people eating outside the Ferry Building are taking photos will their cell phones.
The line of protesters, cheering and hoisting Occupy signs, extends about a half mile filled with perhaps a few thousands people.
At 1:30 p.m. the thousands of protesters hung a left onto Broadway from The Embarcadero and continued their chants and drumming. Police continued to redirect traffic to allow them safe passage.
Continuing Bay Area Updates: http://www.mercurynews.c...9347111?source=autofeed#
Reasons People Are Occupying Wall Street
At least 75 people have been arrested in New York as hundreds of Occupy Wall Street protesters attempted to march on the New York Stock Exchange, the BBC repoprts.
At a rally to mark two months of protest, police blocked streets and protesters massed at junctions on the edge of the city's financial district. Scuffles broke out, with police dragging some protesters away.
Similar protests are planned across the US, two days after police cleared a camp in Zuccotti Park in Manhattan.

I have read the post on the iPhone dev team site that we should never upgrade the iPhone 3GS to OS 3.1, because we'll permanently lose the ability to SIM unlock.
But I just bought a brand new iPhone and it already has 3.1 installed. Does this mean it can never be jailbroken and SIM unlocked?
Or, when the team releases the next redsnow and ultrasnow supporting 3.1, will I be able to jailbreak and unlock it then?

Both of the non-league Northern 3A crossover games were played in Fallon.
Against Fernley, Sparks broke a scoreless tie with three runs in the top of the second. Kirk Putman singled and Joe Christ walked. Both scored on a Tyler Dresbach double. Dresbach later scored on a Kieffer Putman single.
Sparks extended its advantage to 5-1 by tacking on two more runs in the third. Dennis Morelli launched a solo homer. Next, Kirk Putman doubled and scored on a Dresbach double.
The Railroaders added single scores in the fourth and fifth frames to put the Vaqueros away.
Dresbach worked all seven innings on the hill for Sparks to pick up the complete-game victory. He allowed only two hits while striking out three and walking two.
In Game 2, Sparks broke open a close contest in the fourth inning. The Railroaders led 3-2 but pushed across six runs in the tell-tale fourth.
Dresbach had two singles and Quinn Lightfoot had a single in the rally while Martin Jordan, Brandon Harris and Kirk Putman all rapped out doubles in the inning.
Putman had an up and down pitching performance but he still managed to avoid giving up a big inning to Dayton. In the end, he got the complete-game win. He limited Dayton to six hits and overcame seven walks while striking out three.
"Those were quality wins," Sparks coach Greg Vasko said. "Our pitchers bent, but didn't break. The difference today was we hit the ball well. We had people on base and we were able to score them."
Sparks improved to 5-5 overall. The Railroaders play again next Saturday in a doubleheader against North Tahoe.

User's Guide to Exile
Graduate student conference looking at literary exile in the age of globalization finds that it's not all bad.
Published: Tuesday, November 01, 2005
Julie Nack Ngue and Amy Marczewski
The Department of French and Francophone Studies at UCLA hosts an annual graduate student conference organized entirely by the graduate students of the department. As co-chairs of this year's conference, we chose the topic of exile and invited Congolese author Emmanuel Dongala and Yale professor of African and Francophone literature Christopher Miller to contribute keynote addresses on 13-14 October. Our call for papers solicited a large response; we received a record number of abstracts and had to turn down excellent proposals from universities in Canada and France and across the United States.
The Tenth Annual French and Francophone Studies Graduate Student Conference, "Exil: mode(s) d'emploi—Experiencing Exile in Literature and the Arts," boasted 16 participants and two keynote speakers, and brought the entire faculty of the department of French and Francophone studies together to celebrate the occasion. The conference was also sponsored by the UCLA African Studies Center, the Art History Department, and the Fowler Museum of Cultural History.
Selecting and developing a theme for our tenth annual conference was no small task, given the significance of the occasion. Since we are both scholars of Francophone African literature, certain themes automatically came to mind, but of course we wanted to choose a topic that would appeal to a wide audience and solicit interesting and varied scholarship from our peers across disciplines. As the topic of exile emerged, we began to consider it in terms of its "success" in the field of Francophone African literature: examples of prolific authors living in exile range from Tierno Monénembo and Véronique Tadjo to our distinguished guest Emmanuel Dongala.
We therefore decided to reevaluate exile as an experience as well as a state of being; a means of movement and a state of latency; a means to an end and an end in itself; a pathway to creativity and an agent of artistic censorship. But how can we reconsider the stakes of exile without automatically resorting to negative connotations? Our title references this reconsideration in the expression mode(s) d'emploi (user's guide), which encourages, through the pluralization of "mode," a reinvestigation of the very nature of exile itself, be it positive, negative or something in between.
Our graduate student panels offered many readings of exile, from the role of language in exile and the performance of exile to linguistic exile and performing exile. We listened to a musicologist discuss how exile affected a Canadian composer in the mid-twentieth century and to an historian who demonstrated the ways in which exile is implicated in diasporic studies. Besides these social ramifications of exile, we also considered psychic ones: self-imposed exile was an important theme that was broached in the context of a poet's experimentation with the drug mescaline and in the context of one of French author Jean-Paul Sartre's late theatrical works.
Keynote speakers Dongala and Miller were present at many of the graduate student panels this year, a rare occurrence at graduate student conferences. Their interest in the graduates' scholarship was evidenced in their keynote addresses, which made explicit reference to some of these papers. Dongala guided us to a new understanding of the exilic experience for contemporary African writers in the age of globalization, where migration is central and the "return home" is slowly losing its relevance. Christopher Miller explored the silence of Francophone literature on the topic of slavery, as well as the important place Edouard Glissant's recent novel Sartorius holds as a narrative of slavery and African exile. The audience discussion following the addresses was stimulating, and provided a wonderful precursor to the reception that followed. As it was our tenth anniversary, we celebrated with French wine, hors d'oeuvres, and a jazz quartet.
We have now passed on the torch to the 2006 conference chairs, who are already planning next year's event. Theme to be announced!
Julie Nack Ngue and Amy Marczewski are graduate students in the UCLA Department of French and Francophone Studies.

Al Gore Ties Myanmar Cyclone to Global Warming

A place for the discussion of all things not closely related to the sport and its competitive side. (as always, locked for the duration of major international championship)
He's ba-a-a-a-ck!
I like Al Gore and what he's trying to do and honestly believe that we need to take the whole GW thing seriously (regardless of how much it is just a natural climatological cycle), but Al Gore would tie Spring to Global Warming.
Spring is more like 'hemispherical warming', no?

Regionals were today, haven't heard how he did (prequalified on time for state in at least one event) but winds were 20-35 mph all day and he has not had a meet this year when there weren't similar winds. One invite was canceled after a few events, hurdles wouldn't stay up, officials papers blowing all over. A couple meets also featured drizzle and snow flurries. A lousy year for spring sports here in Colorado. Let's hope for better at state next weekend (also the weekend of the Big 12 meet in Boulder.)

Antarctic ice shelf breaking up?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080710/sc ... arcticaice
When is science not science? When it appears in a Yahoo "news" piece.
Antartic ice has been growing for as long as such things are measured. Breaking small pieces of ice (berging) is a natural consequence of expanding glaciers.
Given that Antarctica holds 90% of the worlds glacial ice (30 million cubic Km) and the average temperature there is minus 57F (80 below freezing), it's safe to say that Antarctic Ice melt is not going to happen at all.
Even if the entire Greenland ice sheet (which averages -24F to -4F at the highest) were put under hot sunlamps it would take thousands of years to melt. Even the latest report (ACIA 2006) said that fringes of the Greenland ice sheet were losing 239 cubic km per year. (never mind that the interior is gaining that back) Even if that rate increased tenfold to 2390 km^3 per year it would take 1200 years for the ice in Greenland to melt and the sea level would rise 23 feet. That's not going to happen. 239 km^3 per year works out to 12,000 years. By that time we'll be in another ice age.
The math just doesn't add up. The science doesn't either. Any honest geophysicist will tell you that you can just melt 2.85 million km^3 (Greenland) or 30 million km^3 (Antarctica) of ice without an event to produce the energy required on the scale that mankind couldn't possibly produce.
Meanwhile the Antarctic Ice sheet is actually expanding, and the latest 2 reports in 2005 said that the Greenland ice sheets are actually thickening, gaining back 80 km^3 per year in the interior.
Al Gore is an idiot and a gross profiteer who benefits from global warming scare tactics.. Global warming is a hysterical religious movement that distorts facts and labels those who disagree heretics.
Thank you Malmo for stating what I know/believe from education and experience to be true but lacked the initiative to look up the the numbers.
(No, I did not actually witness the last ice age.)
I concur, Al Gore is an exploitive, self-aggrandizing buffoon.
Guess some of us can now stop racing around shouting "The ice is falling, the ice is falling!"
Thanks to all here for putting this controversy to rest. They almost had me thinking maybe even we were somehow responsible...
The thing is imo, most of the see-no-evil monkeys latch on the the convenient global-warming twig mr Gore has extended and hang on to it as if it was the be-all-end-all element of Man's obvious pollution of the planet and swing their tales off like that's the one and only issue. Paw-over-eyes, this monkey refuses to look around at the world around it, and resorts to "scientific" data from over the past century--during which time of course the vast amount of species anihiliation and deforestation, and air and water pollution has moved to the no-way-back point--to fashion statements about "eras and periods" of weather that in fact have no long range patterns, no starting point, no patterns. What is out there now IS, that's what we and the polar bears and honeybees are living here and now. Hang your "patterns"; look around you. I'm saying the anti-global warming factions are using this single--but signal--issue to try to obfuscate a larger matter.
Lay off the specious analogies about PC/Liberals/"Greenies" and such; and come down off the reverse pulpit-PC speeches about religion and "heretics."
Those "facts" and figures are statistics from a straight-line Newtonian paradigm in a world where Chaos and Probability reign.
get out and look around the world, the country, this country, your state and community. If you can report that you have seen no degradation of the natural environment, or anything less than frightening depradation here and abroad, then I think we, you and I, have very different faculties--or value systems.
Global warming is a strawman, political plaything that serves to keep the masses befuddled and to allow the carnival barkers of the right to ply their "damn the liberals, full speed ahead with consumption of natural resources."
The anti-global warming hucksters get to brandish their shiny canes and point to their "facts" and "figures" --based on arbitrary time periods that have no relevance to the present facts--that only direct attention away from what you can see right now today anywhere around you. If you care enough to look. And feel for this beautiful planet benighted by a strange, greedy race.
Take roll call: all creatures great and small? How many can muster up to the call, since Man's dominion got into full sway? Where are you going to find water and air in the coming tiny bit of time? [edit for spelling, sense]
Article says that exaggeration is a pitfall on both sides in the global warming debate.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/25/scien ... 5hype.html
I just read another article admitting that the doom and gloom prophecy was the result of failure to recognize and allow for migration of "sensors", which severely skewed the interpretation.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record (anyone remember those?), its all a scam folks.
I could understand a "scam", if politicians aka AG were the only ones promoting it. But all Academies of Science around the world? They are all saying, there is a global climate change and we are contributing to it. Are they scamming?
I hope that you are right, lonewolf.
And that the report that is hitting the airwaves today is wrong.
That report summarizes the work of thousands of scientists from
60 Nations, over the past two years. The conclusions include
the fact that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is melting at a much faster
rate that previously expected --- a rate of 114 billion tonnes of ice
melt per year, equivalent to the total annual mass loss for Greenland.
I hope they are wrong about the possible causes and implications,
but I wonder how many bright guys could be so wrong...
i am not saying the climate is not changing. It changes every day, week, month, year, century, millenia and ... eons; was doing so for millions of years before man inhabited the planet and will continue to do after man joins the dodo birds.
I am saying man did not cause it and cannot change or stop it.
This forum is hardly the place to go into a long discourse on the evidence for or against man being responsible for global warming but I will make two simple points.
1. Increased carbon dioxide emissions are the result of warming, not the cause as espoused by the carbon alarmists. Even were it so, mans contribution is inconsequently puny compared to that of the rest of nature.
2. The poles of the earth have not always been at their present position. they have erratically migrated thousands of miles. Artic, temperate and tropical climates have migrated around the globe accordingly. Not within the observable span of recorded history.. but, ya gotta start someplace. And, incidentally, loss of some Antartic ice is being offset by growth in the Artic/Greenland.
I suspect many/most of the "scientists" who ostensibly buy into global warming have a vested interest in continuing the controversy and the ensuing research grants and fees for representing and speaking knowlingly for those commercial enterprises profiting from the carbon credit boondoggle
I don't blame them for looking out for their own well being.. LIke lawyers, they are just taking the other side.. but they are wrong....
My position on this is the result of education, not because I am an "oil man". The fortunes of the oil bizz wax and wane on a much shorter cycle and completely independent from global warming.
So you agree there is global warming. As I think most people should, the debate is whether it is man made or not
This surprises me, where did you read this? Also, this sounds more like an argument against global warming. I don't think such an argument is needed to take the side of "there is not enough evidence to conclude global warming is man made".
Anyone want to tackle on the issue concerning the United Kingdom's unusual snowfall last month? I got caught in it and stuck at Stansted for two nights. Was the snowfall - which dropped for a week - due to climate change, or a non-(man-made)climate factor?
To be devils advocate. The Thames used to freeze on a semi-regular basis. Last one was in 1963.
http://www.thamesweb.co.uk/windsor/wind ... eze63.html
To clarify, lonewolf, I doubt that anyone seriously is accusing you of being an "oilman" in this discussion, as compared to an educated world citizen.
I certainly wasn't saying that.
Relative to the points you made:
1) Yes, man's contribution to the planetary CO2 output is relatively puny, but some are positing that small percentage may be enough to accelerate a "tipping point", beyond which more severe and longer term climage change
could be more likely. We probably won't know if that is correct, until it's much too late.
2) The most recent and most intense research, which I quoted from earlier, indicates Antartic melt is occurring much faster than previous models showed, Greenland melt is also accelerating, and Arctic sea ice is diminishing.
3) Yes, the Poles move over time of course. But one of the most dramatic projections from this recent study is that, if the West Antarctic Ice Sheet melt continues to accelerate, there is enough weight there to shift the Earth's rotation axis dramatically. The models show this would send a huge "bulge" of water into the Northern Hemisphere. Much to the chagrin of those who leave in low-lying coastal areas of North America, particularly on the Pacific Coast.
There are lots of new excerpts from the research, starting to show up on Google today --- I just go to Antarctic Ice Melting. Interesting subject, and some interesting reading.
More silliness:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1235610 ... b_page_one
Climate Change in Al Gore's Hometown
60 in D.C. today, will be 40 degrees Sunday (as I jet to Cancun).
It was 86 F in College Station Friday afternoon, 39 F Saturday morning. I doubt you could have convinced any of the teenage soccer players thawing out in McDonalds post-game Saturday morning that global warming was a serious issue... especially the goalies who mostly just had to stand and wait.
About 10 inches on the ground and still coming down. It's probably the most we've had in four years. You gotta love a Nor'easter!
The latest experiment to help slow global warming (or the latest silliness, depending on your point of view). They're changing the diet of cows so they belch less methane.

Kansas City Royals shut out the Minnesota Twins 5-0
Kansas City Royals defeat Houston Astros 4-2.
Royals sign Omar Infante to four-year contract
MLB: Detroit 7, Chicago White Sox 6 (12 innings)
MLB: Detroit 12, Chicago White Sox 5
MLB: Detroit 1, Chicago White Sox 0
MLB: Detroit 16, Kansas City 2
MLB: Oakland 6, Detroit 3 (6 innings)
Omar Rafael Infante (born December 26, 1981 in Puerto la Cruz, Anzoátegui, Venezuela) is a Major League Baseball utility player who is currently on the Florida Marlins. He bats and throws right-handed.
In his career, Infante is a .272 hitter with 46 home runs and 295 RBI in 892 games.
Infante entered the 2003 season as the starting shortstop for the Detroit Tigers. Ramón Santiago, considered a better glove-man started the season at second base. Considered 2 of the Tigers better prospects, both proved overmatched; Infante hit only .222 with 0 home runs and 8 RBI in over 200 at-bats. Midway through the season, Tigers manager Alan Trammell sent Infante to the minor leagues for failiing to hustle on a consistent basis. Santiago switched to shortstop after Infante was sent down.

Until viable alternative Fuels & Energy sources are Discovered or Invented, we will have to deal with " Air Breathing " Internal Combustion Engines burning up Petroleum products along with 15 POUNDS of AIR for every pound of fuel used up. Even IF advancements such as Bio-Fuels & Hydrogen Gas did come in to replace Oil we would still need plenty of Air to Oxidize all this fuel into Power !! Millions of drivers will not be able to afford new vehicles, even with ZERO percent financing. For the moment, large scale improvements in Engine Efficiency out of existing engines is most essential for our long term economic independence and social well being. Or Else ?? It is a real" Up - Hill Task " for most of us !
US Patent 6237579 is applicable to any 2 or 4 cycle internal combustion engines featuring " Squish or Quench " concepts. The placement of one or more grooves or channels or passages in the squish area as shown & described in the first page of my US Patent 6237579 results in "Accelerated Laminar Total Clean Burn Combustion " out of any fuel ? Meaning to say, this simple but radical design change to squish areas & configurations enhances progressive turbulence in the charge close to the skin of the combustion chamber and further directs the (added) turbulence towards the igniter followed by multiple flame front propagation thus resulting in a radical change to " In-cylinder Combustion ". This technology is as radical a change to engine design as it was with the introduction of the ' quench 'concepts by Sir Harry Ricardo almost 80 + years ago. ALTCBC improves " Torque & Power " through the entire operating range with lesser amounts of fuel. This simple design change "opens up" the combustion chamber to activity. Hy-Brids can now benefit from enormous low-end torque produced out of smaller displacement engines to pull away with ease. Simplicity in design is the key to success in keeping down costs and pays for itself on the long run in a big way !
After this simple design change ~ Obsolete Side Valve Engines which feature large quench areas have shown reductions of up to 42.5 % in fuel consumption ( BSFC) when fully loaded at 2000 rpm on the dyno further producing more torque & power at lower operating temperatures in comparison to a stock engine. ( ARAI Test Results )
If the fuel inputs had dropped that drastically - What do you think the outcomes of " CO2 & Emissions " ~ Could or Would be ~ Out of grooved engines ? And the impact all this will have on " Carbon Credit " ...... and its earnings in the future ?
"Remember the most important factor in increasing engine performance and efficiency is to create " maximum turbulence " in the compression chamber."--Engine Legend Pat Goodman
This simple cost effective design change has the same dramatic effects on dual-fuel applications too & can accept much higher compression ratios on standard gaswith out the interference of knock or pri-ignition. This design change requires minute in-puts to optimize the size & location of the grooves along with compatible compression ratios to optimize existing 2 or 3 or 4 & 5 valve combustion chamber designs. These changes are close to ' Zero cost inputs ' when it comes to mass scale production - Costing almost " Nil " as additional costs. The only other costs to be considered are " Licensing & Royalties " for the use of IPR.?
Lots of debates are on to figure out how this design could be achieving these advantages over normal squish & quench concepts. Lets leave the ' Indepth Study ' to the learned & see if they can improve upon it any further ? While this design is ready for implementation & is sure to make a Big Big difference to the Motoring World in the form of fuel savings considering the Cost of Crude Oils going past $ 100+ along-with the Effects of Global Warming taking over in a Big way ? Effecting all of us & the rest on the Planet too ! Some call it ~ " The Dimming Sun " ! ? ! ( Check it out on the net, it is for real ! ) A lot more Surprises are awaited in time to come . . . ? For Starters ~ There are three times more frozen CO2 & Other Forbidden Gases hidden beneath the melting glaciers & sheets of age old ice waiting to surface up into the open. This will bring about some sudden changes in the air and the Poles ?
As a reminder - This design literally " Spells & Achieves "~ " More out of Less " involving the least inputs into existing engine designs.
We believe ~ " A Stitch In Time, Can Save Nine & More " ? What Good Are " Discoveries & Inventions " ~ If They Are Not Put To Use ?
" The Answer My Friend . . . Is Blowing In The Wind ...... !!! " The essence of life called "Crude Oils" soaring past $ 100 + mark has dampened the Global Spirit of well being. Most average motorists are in a dizzy of what awaits them as ' Future Shock ' ! While the Automobile Industry fully anticipating these hikes are going " Full Steam Ahead " stamping out Millions of ' Wonder Machines ' of every conceivable shape and size to promote & pacify the needs of personalized transportation like never before. All this hyper-activity has led to full house parking lots sending most of us on merry go-rounds like never before ? To add to all this, the existing " ON THE RUN " One Billion + I C Engines ticking away Globally are pushing the demands for Fuel & Oil beyond the reach of supply making Crude Oils even more expensive than the automobile itself ? ' How's that ' for an equation ? Global Oil Sales each year are exceeding $1500 + Billion mark with Exxon Mobil alone showing a full year revenue of $ 371 + Billion. Sooner then later all this Oil is sure to burn up & turn into " Smoke & CO2 " and hang in the air for a while ? Did you know One Gallon Of Fuel burns up enough AIR to let out almost 20 Lbs of CO2 back into the air from the tail pipe ? Did you know One Litre of Petrol burns up enough Air to produce almost 2.5 Kgs of CO2 out of in-cylinder combustion !
It is high time we act with responsibility to enlighten the World At Large, about our shortcomings and our own makings that have brought about these life styles of "Burn-Ups & Burn-Outs." Not to forget the very air we ' breathe in ' is polluted by excessive CO2 and harmful emissions alongwith many other Monoxides & Die-Oxides & Trioxides descending from the skies each night ? Added to all the Jumbo-Jets flying overhead contributing to the rest of the " high altitude fallouts & hangouts " of CO2 & Jet Trails causing " Global Warming out of Heat Trapping " !
All the fuel we have burned up in the last 100 years has come from beneath. We need to remind ourselves – Knowingly or Unknowingly, we are burning up fossil fuels " A Hundred Thousand Times Faster " than what it took Nature to Oyster this Oil in the first place. As responsible Citizens of this Planet we need to leave behind adequate fuel and resources for our next generations to explore the pleasures of personalized transportation – Or else our generation will be blamed forthese senseless acts that we are committing & executing in style, each moment, as though tomorrow never existed ! ? The Human Race in their " quest to conquest " are burning up vast quantities of valuable Life Supporting ' Oxygen ' in the AIR at a much faster pace than what Nature can reverse or do to " break down " these excessive bi-products of CO2 & Trash floating around us in the air and water, ending up ' tipping ' the very balance of existence on Mother Earth for all of us to live in !.?

Fashion blogger Kim Hutt blends her sharp wit with the sartorial seeds planted in young readers when their wee hands first flipped the pages of The Baby-Sitters Club. What Claudia Wore features the most fashion-forward moments from the series, with the highest praise going to Claudia, and gives us good reason to dust off that bookshelf and get nostalgic.
How did you first conceive of the idea for What Claudia Wore?
I began re-collecting the books when I was living in Wappingers Falls, New York in 2006. I was just down the road from both a Goodwill and a Salvation Army, and they would get huge lots of BSC books. It was a fun little nostalgia trip during a stressful time in my life, and I couldn't help laughing at how incredibly fascinated I was by the outfit descriptions. 23 years old and just as absorbed by BSC fashion as I was at age eight.
At the beginning, I was just planning on cataloguing each of Claudia's outfits; there was little to no commentary. Then I started adding a snarky line or two after each description. It kind of snowballed from there.
What have you learnt about yourself from re-reading old Baby-Sitters Club books?
That I needed to get out more! I mean, I've always been a re-reader . . . but seriously, I remember this stuff way too well. The other day I was mentally composing a blog entry, and I made a joke about "stupid Andrew Brewer saying 'hi-hi'." And then I stopped and corrected myself – "No, saying hi-hi was Jamie Newton's thing." It was a frightening moment. This is the stuff I'm dedicating brainpower to. Okay.
Is fashion something you take seriously? Are you looking at The Baby-Sitters Club ironically?
I think that depends on what one considers taking it seriously. I rarely – if ever – keep up with current runway trends, I don't buy fashion magazines, and I only follow a handful of style bloggers. With that said, are fashion and personal presentation important to me? Yes, very.
I do mock the babysitters quite a bit. Honestly, I'm much more affectionate toward the characters and the series than I let on. Snark aside, I think there's somewhat of a sense of celebration in this project. I mean, I was seriously emotionally invested in Stoneybrook, long after I'd outgrown the books on an intellectual level. I hope some of that comes through in the blog, even when I'm threatening to throw away every single pair of sneakers Kristy owns.

I have just come across this.
Anthony Storr was a good and compassionate man. I overlapped with him... working at the same hospital towards the end of his career....
He was also a man who spent much of his adult life battling with depression.
This no doubt gave him great empathy with his patients, but perhaps made him less reliable as a guide to potential influences.
Interesting insight as to what might have motivated him to debunk so many cultural icons.
Reaffirms my own bias that all creative work (and I am including practice in this which is always creative in the sense that it must respond to the actual circumstances of ones life and is, hence, unique) is based on the personal. There is no substitue for experience. None.
Even if the "personal" is not what we think it is.

Kale Beers was a student at La Salle University the last time the Explorers men's basketball team was in the NCAA tournament.
It was 1992 and Beers was all set to go to Greensboro, N.C. for the first-round game against Seton Hall.
But Beers had a project due and a professor who wouldn't budge for March Madness.
Beers thought there would always be next year for the Explorers, and now, finally, 21 years later, next year has arrived.
The 1989 Emmaus High graduate was in Dayton on Wednesday night, working behind the microphone as the Explorers defeated Boise State 80-71 in a first-round game.
It was something of a dream come true for Beers, who has been doing play-by-play on La Salle radio and Internet broadcasts for 17 years and has been an employee of the school for 16.
"It's awesome, it feels great," Beers said Wednesday afternoon. "I can't really put it into words."
La Salle games can be heard on AM-990 (WNPT) and the broadcasts are streamed on the school's website.
Beers works with veteran Steve Degler, who does both play-by-play and analysis for Service Electric and WFMZ-TV in the Lehigh Valley.
Degler, in fact, will be working for Service Electric and PCN this weekend, doing the play-by-play for the four PIAA girls state title games, including Bethlehem Catholic-South Park on Saturday night.
Beers calls Degler "the consummate professional" and says he has learned a lot from him.
Degler, in turn, was thrilled for Beers finally getting to the Big Dance.
"After working together for 16 seasons, I'm thrilled to see him enjoy this experience with his alma mater," Degler said Wednesday. "His passion for the Explorers is unmatched."
Beers said he has calmed down some from his early seasons broadcasting La Salle games. He has evolved as has the basketball program, which has often been in the shadow of its Big 5 brethren, particularly Villanova and Temple.
"I'm still an emotional, fiery guy and I get down when we're losing and excited when we win," Beers said. "I'm not apologetic for that, but it was really hard to control when I was younger and I was like 25 or 26 years old and we weren't really that good. If I went back and listened to my tapes from then, I think I'd really be embarrassed."
Beers said he's still pro-La Salle and he does his broadcasts from the Explorers' perspective, but said, "I like to think I'm a little more realistic, a little more objective. I'm not as unreasonable. When you're younger, you just want it so bad. Your passion, your drive is so all-consuming. I don't know if I'm more polished now, but I am more rational."
Beers, LaSalle's associate director for athletic development, said the current season included several highlights even before Selection Sunday.
Most people focus on the Jan. 23 upset of then No. 9-ranked Butler, a 54-53 thriller that caused the students to storm the court at Tom Gola Arena. Beers said it was "my best experience on the air so far."
However, there was more to come.
"That wasn't the only highlight because three nights later we won at [Virginia Commonwealth University] and VCU's fan section was voted No. 1 in America," Beers said. "That place isn't the biggest, but it was packed. A lot of people felt it was asking too much to expect us to beat two ranked teams in a matter of days.

A great guesthouse right in the heart of Varanasi. It's hard to find first up so arrange for a transfer from the station! Monu is very friendly and helpful - he quickly organised alternative transport for us when our train to Agra didn't get confirmed. You won't regret staying here - get a yoga lesson on the rooftop!!

text: I took the scan, printed in blue, and inked it. After scanning the inked version, I removed the blue. This is the result. I might do it again with less hatching and more emphasis on the lines. It did lose quite a bit from the pencil version. I'm not really that happy with it.

Perfect complement to Iridescent nursing bra.
Posted by Jelena Klegere on 26th Jan 2014
I took size XL, as I should have basing on measurements and size charts, but unfortunately bikini was too large, I can say definitely one size bigger, in my case - I had to return them for exchange on size M.
Posted by Unknown on 15th Jan 2014
Fits perfectly, doesn't ride up & the material is so soft. It doesn't 'dig in' either so I can wear it with leggings or a fitted dress. I bought the matching bra also & find them both so comfortable & it feels nice to have some nice bras & underwear to make you feel good as you're getting bigger! I will be buying another pair.

Bhodi, fashion's furriest male model. The three-and-a-half-year-old Shiba Inu is more than another pretty face, he's a menswear model and the star of a new fashion blog.
Menswear Dog was launched by Bhodi's owners Dave Fung, a graphic designer and Yena Kim, a fashion designer.
Vogue magazine names the top 25 male models ever
"Mensweardog was the result of a lazy Saturday afternoon. We thought it would be fun to dress up Bodhi in [my] menswear clothes," Fung told Yahoo! Shine. "We posted a picture of it on Facebook and the response from our friends and family was unreal."
Since the site went live four days ago, Menswear Dog has received 357,266 hits. Obviously, Bhodi isn't the first dog to dress like a dude. See the wall of your dad's man cave decorated with poker-playing mutts.
Bhodi is like a whole different species. He's a gentleman dog who genuinely looks good in suits. It's not easy to find a male model that is not only beautiful, but possesses the right amount of personality to really sell a look. Bodhi's facial expressions show his incredible range of emotions, everything from "the sheepish cowboy from Austin" to "the Hipster on his first day of work at a major corporation."
To be clear, modeling is just Bhodi's day job. On his time off, Fung says the dog spends his time "never washing his selvage denim, lurking around SoHo for someone to notice his steez (slang for 'style with ease'), and sniffing fine a$$ bitches."
He's also playing fashion advisor on Instragram, offering photo evidence and commentary on "how to wear a chunky shawl collar cardigan."
But there's only so much he can teach boring human male models with your chiseled good looks, you've been warned. There's a new dog in town and he's got two legs up on you.
