WASHINGTON (May 16, 2013)--Average fixed mortgage rates rose this week but stayed near their historic lows, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday.
Cheaper mortgages have helped the economy by spurring more home-buying and refinancing.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac says the average rate for the 30-year loan increased to 3.51 percent from 3.42 percent last week, which is still near the average of 3.31 percent reached in November, the lowest on records dating to 1971.
The average on the 15-year loan rose to 2.69 percent, up from 2.61 percent last week, which was the lowest on records going back to 1991.
Low mortgage rates have helped sustained the housing recovery that began last year.
Home sales and construction are up from a year ago, and prices are rising in most U.S. markets.

archnahr Started The Discussion:COnsider people learning in the training room and coming back to the job with or wothout learning anything on his/her own. Very often this happen. in many companies.
So what is the alternative?
Lets talk about OUTBOUND LEARNING:
Today, companies encourage the concept of learning outside the office. Outdoor training is not just climbing rocks. The whole experience influences one's behaviour and attitude towards the organisation. A few learn how to get along with others, while others learn trust.
A difficult decision at work often requires one to view a problem in a different light. Outbound activities create awareness and a shift from the common pattern of thought that aids lateral problem solving.
Consider this example of an outdoor game. A team of six is made to stand in a circle holding hands. They need to turn around such that they face outwards. The condition however is that they cannot release their hands. Most often groups tend to turn around together resulting in twisted arms and necks!
An easy way would be to first allow one person to move towards the members standing on the opposite side. This would automatically make him face outwards. Each member should then move away from his position such that the group is gradually able to form an outer circle.
Time and space for open and informal communication is a luxury one can afford in an outdoor training programme. Debriefing after a game provides employees an opportunity to express their concerns and clear misunderstandings( rendered all the more cosy around a bonfire).
Open and frank communications reduce conflict and improve interpersonal relationships. Teams spend less time arguing and direct their efforts to more critical issues like increasing productivity.
Outbound learning thus creates an environment of mutual trust that can be transferred to work situations.
Precautions against potential dangers and briefing sessions make employees realise that the company is concerned about their safety. This increases one's faith in the organisation.
Outbound Exercises create an awareness of the strengths and weaknesses of team members. For example, a person who brings in the least contracts at work earns the respect of his team and superiors when he saves a colleague from falling. A team's performance depends on individual talents and behaviour. Desirable traits like dependence displayed during outbound training can be assimilated and utilised for effective teamwork.
The calm and serenity offered by nature, allows one to return to the work place refreshed and energised. Employees appreciate the efforts of the management in providing them a memorable and rewarding experience.

This paper describes a novel, pipelined resource management architecture for computational grids. The design is based on two key realizations. One is that resource management involves a sequence of tasks that is best handled by a pipeline. As shown in the paper, this approach results in a scalable architecture for decentralized scheduling. The other realization is that static aggregation of resources for improved scheduling is inadequate in wide-area computing environments because the needs of users and jobs change with both, location and time. The described architecture addresses this problem by dynamically aggregating resources in a manner that continuously optimizes system response. This is accomplished by way of an active yellow pages directory that allows aggregation constraints to be (re)defined on the fly. An initial prototype of the active yellow pages service has been deployed in the PUNCH network computing environment. Experiences with the production PUNCH system and preliminary results from controlled experiments indicate that the active yellow pages service performs well

The New Rule: Precaution over speed and greed
I have known guest blogger Jane Dale Owen for more than a decade. She is one of Houston's leading environmental champions and president of Citizens League for Environmental Action Now (CLEAN). Owen is the granddaughter of Robert Lee Blaffer, co-founder of Humble Oil, which "would later consolidate with Standard Oil of New Jersey to become Exxon."
Throughout history, industry has endangered public health and the environment by ignoring early warning signs. Government and industry leaders have failed to follow the Precautionary Principle, a guide toward preventing harm to the planet and to human health. Instead, industry has been allowed to play Russian Roulette with the environment and our lives. Now 11 people have died and much of the Gulf is dying as a result of the latest outrageous industrial catastrophe.
The British Petroleum (BP) oil spill is perhaps the best example of why we must require industry to follow the Precautionary Principle and heed early warning signs. Why did BP and government agencies wait so late to drill a relief well? In fragile areas of Canada, relief wells are required to be drilled in the same season the main well is drilled. Why did they wait until after this disaster to convene experts to discuss ways to clean up this spill? Shouldn't this team have been in place as part of the planning of a project so hazardous that it now threatens the health of the planet? They certainly knew this could happen.
Why did the government allow BP to take on this project in the first place? The negligence and lies discovered in the investigation of the 2005 explosion at a BP refinery in Texas City should have been enough to bar BP from doing business in the United States. To allow this company to pursue what now seems to be an experiment with nature, seems absolutely absurd.
Governmental agencies including the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had plenty of evidence to shut down BP after the Texas City explosion that resulted in 15 deaths and 170 injuries.
After the accident,The Baker Panel, an independent panel led by then Secretary of State James Baker, reviewed the safety culture, management systems and corporate safety oversite of the company's U.S. refineries. The review revealed that BP was perpetrating "egregious willful" acts of neglect in the maintenance and safety precautions required by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and other agencies.
Testimony about the Chemical Safety Board's findings in the investigation of the BP Texas City accident noted that, "Thorough implementation of existing OSHA and EPA process safety rules would have prevented a number of tragic accidents, including the one at Texas City."
In the past three years, OSHA has cited BP for alleged violations of a rule designed to "prevent catastrophic events at refineries," according to the Center for Public Integrity.
Investigations of the BP oil spill are finding the company again knowingly ignored serious safety issues and was aware of mechanical failures that could lead to the horrific explosion and environmental disaster that occurred in the Gulf on April 20. As long ago as last summer, engineers on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig expressed concern about a metal casing that might collapse under pressure. They were ignored.
To make matters worse, BP has carelessly pumped almost a million gallons of a toxic dispersant into the Gulf to cause the oil to break up and sink out of site. Did they think that if the oil were dropping to the bottom of the ocean out of sight that all would be well? Out of sight out of mind? And now we are beginning to understand that the droplets of oil combined with the Corexit 9500 dispersant are likely to wreak havoc on all ocean creatures and plants that come in contact with it.
And where are the regulatory agencies in this? In hearings about the BP Texas City refinery disaster, expert testimony revealed that one of the critical pieces of equipment that failed (a blowdown drum) was installed in the 1950s. This antiquated, faulty equipment was never reported or discovered by TCEQ through many years and a series of permit application reviews related to the BP Texas City refinery. BP's Fatal Accident Investigation Report states: "The likelihood of this incident could have been reduced by discontinuing the use of the F-20 blowdown stack for light end hydrocarbon service and installing inherently safer options when they were available."
In off-shore drilling, and other fragile environments in other parts of the world, BP volunteers or is required to take precautions such as installing acoustic switches that can be remotely triggered to shut off gushing pipes at the sea floor wellhead when a manual switch fails. In the United States, safeguards that should have been required by the Minerals Management Service were weakened during the Bush Administration and have not been reinstated. These safeguards could have prevented this disastrous oil spill.
As U.S. citizens and good stewards of the Earth, we can no longer allow speed and greed to rule our planet. We must demand that U.S. industry and government follow the Precautionary Principle — "When an activity raises threats of harm to the environment or human health, precautionary measures should be taken even if some cause and effect relationships are not fully established scientifically." If the right questions had been asked and safeguards had been established before the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig punctured the ocean floor, this horrible catastrophe in our beautiful ocean and Gulf Coast could have been prevented.

I think you mean "out of sight"?
[JR: Missed that, thanks!]
Good to see the other half speaking up. Where for climate change though? Everything from now on in must be framed in it's context…
Thanks, Jane Owen, especially for reminding us of BP's habitual offender record.
The best outcome would be for BP to go bankrupt, and its assets and pieces sold off. The BP corporate culture is one of beancounters, not responsible equipment operators. Time to start from scratch. The federal government, as the main claimant clearinghouse for environmental and personal damage, could sell the foreclosed equipment at auction.
Bankruptcy would lead to high insurance rates for offshore drilling, as well as potentially upping the ante for Canada Tar Sands operations, likely to face similar liabilities in the future. Bad behavior would be punished, and dangerous operations would see their practices priced by the market. This would speed our transition to clean energy.
The main opponents to this outcome will not be businessmen or competitors, but rather banks that hold BP paper and the less nimble investors who still hold BP stock. I have no idea why we should feel sorry for any of them, nor be reluctant to oppose their upcoming behind the scenes actions to try to protect and resuscitate a company that is rotten from within.
By coincidence, I met a guy at the Hands Across the Sands event on Saturday. He didn't appear to be very familiar with the internet, but described how he had become involved through a facebook page, Boycott BP. I have no way of knowing if his impression is accurate, but he said it had been started by a Texas oil heiress and that so many trolls had disrupted the discussion and insulted her personally that she was probably going to take a breather.
At any rate, all of us in the discussion agreed, Sinister Corporations are paying these creeps to infiltrate environmental groups and stop any action towards clean energy…one reason I like the CP comment threads so much!
Excellent! Thank you.
Far more than 11 people have died, of course. There are outright casualties, such as the hideous Bhopal and Chernobyl disasters. Then there are the countless casualties from toxic exposure.
Historically, US citizens have not been very good stewards of the Earth. That is a fairly recent development. Historically industry has looked for the nearest ravine or river to dump its waste and conducted its operations in the least expensive fashion possible. Even when citizens see the river catch fire they have, in the past, been slow to demand change in industry practices.
Let's hope we will get better but we citizens did not, and still do not, demand relief wells be drilled in the Gulf. BP is not the only company engaged in deepwater drilling in the Gulf and no such requirement exists for anyone.
The environment is not in good shape. We have many problems that need to be corrected and many practices that need to be changed. It will require decades of work but, historically, US citizens have not been able to keep up that effort.

Thank you for the great post, Jane. Bravo!
To Joe and Jane and others . . .
Someone should do a piece on the implications of Rex Tillerson's testimony to the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce (a couple weeks ago) to climate change.
For example, Tillerson says:
"I see your point, and I think that's all that matters, is the point is we have to take every step to prevent these things from happening, because when they happen it is a fact that we're not well equipped to prevent any and all damage. There will be damage occur."
(Oddities of grammar and structure are in the original, which is a "Preliminary Transcript" of the actual testimony.)
More than once — and clearly — Tillerson outlines the need for prevention, because problems are too large to be cured or fixed after the fact.
Someone — we — should compare that view, stated clearly by Tillerson himself, to what ExxonMobil is and is not doing with respect to climate change. Here, in testimony, Tillerson himself explains the wisdom and necessity of a preventative posture. The subject, in that case, was deep sea drilling. But the same logic he uses applies — and even much more so — to climate change, of course. I'd like to hear him try to argue why he espouses a preventative philosophy in one case and totally ignores the preventative philosophy in the much much larger case, where society will be even less "equipped" to respond to the problem once it is in full swing.
Of course, we can't hold Tillerson to his words, and challenge him on them, and shed light on them, unless we do so. He gave us the words and the logic, and now it's our turn to follow up and challenge him to reconcile his words with ExxonMobil's actions with respect to climate change.
What major news media organizations will take this task on, or even report on it? Will The New York Times? Andy Revkin? Rachel Maddow (I do have faith in her, if she gets this)?
Here are the ingredients:
Go to the website of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce.
On the navigation bar, select "Hearings" and then, in the submenu that appears, select "Subcommittee on Energy and Environment".
Choose the hearing titled "Drilling Down on America's Energy Future: Safety, Security, and Clean Energy".
Down at the bottom of the links and materials shown on that page, there is a section called "Additional Documents", within which the "Preliminary Transcript" is listed. Select the link to the "Preliminary Transcript" and that will take you there.
Read Rex Tillerson's testimony on pages 126 and 127, and also on page 157.
There is a STARK CONTRAST between the preventative logic that Tillerson argues in favor of, in his testimony, and the way ExxonMobil is seeing and approaching the climate change issue. It is a STARK CONTRAST that cannot be sensibly explained away, unless one entirely denies the science of the matter, which Tillerson does not do (at least when people push him for clear responses). So, he has provided us with words, and indeed they are from televised testimony to a Congressional Committee! So, it is up to the media, to excellent blogs, and to us to "hold his feet to the fire", so to speak, and press him on the matter. Let's apply his philosophy to the climate change problem. Let's find out what he really means and feels. We won't get answers, or actions, unless we PUSH for them!!
Wits End, #5:
Denier trolls have trashed the comments section of Dot Earth, and would be doing it here if we didn't have Joe to give them their needed spankings. So I'm not surprised to hear of them at the Boycott BP site.
I wanted to add a heartfelt thanks to Jane Owen. It's easy for me to speak out here in Seattle, but you are doing it in the belly of the beast, enraging family and friends you have known all your life. You have courage and vision, and we need you and a lot more like you.
This from oil-price.net, on dispersants and hurricanes in the Gulf (http://www.oil-price.net/en/articles/gulf-oil-spill-the-aftermath.php).
"Know this: Most of the hydrocarbon chemicals extracted by the dispersants stay at the surface. They are the first ones to evaporate alongside water into clouds overhead that later fly over the continent and provide rain to the southern states. We are talking about chemicals causing cancer or kidney failure such as benzene and pretty much any possible chemical that can be extracted from crude oil. These chemicals would end up in water supplies, rain on crops, and eventually imbibed by humans and animals alike…
Truth be told, dispersants are far from a panacea. They are first and foremost a public relation tool to manipulate public opinion into believing the oil spill is disappearing, digested by microbes. The dispersants keep the oil underwater and together have created a deadlier mix than oil and water. Out of sight, out of mind, and the American public, with an increasingly short attention span buys into it. In reality an oil spill treated with chemical dispersants poses an even greater ecological threat than the oil spill left alone…
How to recognize the signs that the spill aftermath rained inland:
— If after a downpour you notice that the road is slicker than usual, this is a sign the rain water may be contaminated
— If after a downpour any foliage appears waxy, and any white surface stained.
— Crops and plants which whither unexpectedly after a downpour. The oily substance coating the leaves block respiration and photosynthesis…"
Thank You Jane. Once again your insight into environmental mismanagement gives us actuate information and positive solutions to prevent future catastrophes. Keep Up The Good Work

Platform: Windows Mobile 6 Classic / .NET CF 3.5
Problem: Custom Controls, that display alphablended images do not behave well with images on Parent control. Also, hidding and show such controls induces flicker when parent has many images to redraw.
More Details: A custom button Control that displays an image with transparencies. I use Alphablend function to achieve this with limited success. The parent is also a custom control and has a dimension of 320x240. This parent control also displays a background image. Both parent and child controls, are shown at same time. However, the custom button control can be hidden and shown.
The problem with showing and hiding child button is it's artifact it flickers. In an attempt to reduce flicker the standard code is implemented in both child and parent custom controls;
The effect of which are minimal at best. I need a way that Button control can erase itself without invoking repaint of parent. The BitBlt function, see URL: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa930997.aspx, could work but experimentation showed that since Custom Button inherits from
protected virtual void OnPaintBackground(PaintEventArgs e) {
/* override prevents fliciker */
System.Windows.Forms.Controls the parent and child draw regions are treated as separate entities. Thus, draw region of Button will clobbers, not blended into, draw region of parent.
My Question: How to blend images in the draw regions of one or more child controin, that must respond indendently to mouse events, with images in draw region of parent control?

Preview from Official Brazil Xbox 360 Magazine
Someone at GTAForums has got the chance to look at the magazine. What he could dig so far are...
- Nico can mug the peds.
- Each hour of the day will have influence on the number and behavior of the peds.
- Niko was on the streets of Broker during the demonstration was given and the time was around 8 o'clock in the morning.
- Variation in AI of peds has been worked out massively compared to San Andreas. Peds will now stop to meet with each other in the streets, ask for cigarettes, ask the time. They have got diversity in answers to all these queries.
- Yet to be said on the Police AI, it'll be featured in the next demo (possibly the previews in next month may have mention of that!)
- R* promises to work more on improving the camera angles, seen during the demonstration.
- 'Some' of the skyscrapers are accessible to Nico. He can go up in them and push people off the buildings.
- Nico's Cell phone now will act as the peripheral structure of the missions. Nico can choose any mission contact through it, so now you won't have to travel the Liberty city to reach them.
(I haven't yet come across anything that relates the cellphone with game progress)
Here are the scans of the twelve page preview.

Huge thanks to Matt for sending the scans!
Thanks man
At least Swimming is confirmed to be in, and it sounds like they have replaced the Start Menu with the Mobile now, which is interesting.
Finally all the details from this magazine. Good stuff, glad to see swimming confirmed, just as a reassurance. Thanks, Asif.
If the cell phone can hold you stats and stuff, doesn't it make sense that the cell phone is now the main game menu? Hopefully if this this is the case, the cell phone allows you to save anywhere as long as you're not on a mission.
Yeah that's what I thought as soon as I read you would be able to access your stats from there. Would be different for GTA, definitely possible.
I guess then quitting the game would be like turning it off and leave it on charging. :P
Well you've never actually been able to "quit" GTA via the pause menu, except on the PC versions. I love how Rockstar does this and does not include a main menu like other games. Makes you feel locked into a real world.
Nice to see that swimming will be enabled.
If you will be able to call a cab, and make it drive you to wherever on the map, I hope it will be possible to enjoy the ride from inside the car rather than just a small cutscene.
Looks like R* will put more effort in making peds interact with the environment this time round. Gotta love that.
Yeah I too would love to enjoy the view from inside the taxi, since vehicle interiors should be completely rendered and textured in GTA IV. Being able to swap camera modes while in the taxi, ability to bail out while in the taxi, ability to perform a drive by while in a the taxi, and being able to skip through the drive.
I also hope there will be a better balance between what stuff costs and how much money you can get. Nothing should be free, but there should be a huge variety of ways to earn money.
Cool, glad to see swimming is back.
And I'm interested in the new peds actions, should be really cool.
damn how much longer before R* releases some actual information, other than things about the Cell phone.
i wanna know whos in it, who the other characters are, what kind of animations are gonna be in there.
Rockstar themselves usually doesn't release information directly to the public. Information is given by Rockstar to a news source who provides it to the public. For about another month we'll be seeing magazine previews only. Once we get into the summer, you'll be seeing new previews every week. In 2004 GameSpot had San Andreas Saturday where every Saturday they would have a new preview up based specifically on one aspect of the game. Perhaps we'll see the same with GTA IV. There's just so much more to know.
That's a plus in it's self.
Thank's Asif

This paper presents a relational framework for studying properties of labeled data points related to proximity and labeling information in order to improve the performance of the 1NN rule. Specifically, the class conditional nearest neighbor (ccnn) relation over pairs of points in a labeled training set is introduced. For a given class label c, this relation associates to each point a its nearest neighbor computed among only those points with class label c (excluded a). A characterization of ccnn in terms of two graphs is given. These graphs are used for defining a novel scoring function over instances by means of an information-theoretic divergence measure applied to the degree distributions of these graphs. The scoring function is employed to develop an effective large margin instance selection method, which is empirically demonstrated to improve storage and accuracy performance of the 1NN rule on artificial and real-life data sets.

The awesome of this drawing cannot be measured
ya a very cool experiment
I'm in love with this. You are a genius
all ur art is sooo awesome! can't stop looking at it with admiration
so great, mate! *_*
Beautiful! Love the fact that textures differ and somehow coincide with colour and tone changes!
huh, love it. Nice use of brushes, look so natural
wow love the sense of exploding materials, Im not sure how to explain, but this piece is very appealing
What a slap for me! Really impressive work! Thank you for sharing!
This is beautiful in every sense of the word. Is this all digital? you've got some really nice brush strokes in there
Masterful work dude. I'm surprised it doesn't have more views.
Absolutely Amazing O.O
This is a bit disturbing...And I like it very much.
Very interesting! cool textures
wow o.o!
It is really stunning ^^ I love it!
Looks/feels like real paint. Really freakin dope.
Love the surreal nature of this one, it's awesome! Glad to see you experimenting a bit too
Very cool! Digging all those textures in there.

Politico Runs Story On Global Warming 'Rebranding' 3 Years Late — Then Gets Story Backwards
Shhhh! Don't tell the Politico that the 'rebranding' of global warming happened 3 years ago and now is being reversed by climate champions such as Bill McKibben.
The Politico is known for cutting-edge inside-the-beltway political reporting — if center-right spin is your idea of cutting edge.
Today, however, they ran a story that would have been cutting edge 3 years ago, but is now in fact mostly wrong. Indeed, as we'll see, the Politico story is actually contradicted by the polling that they cite.
Here is their big 'scoop':
'Global warming' gets a rebranding
Shhhh! Don't talk about global warming!
There's been a change in climate for Washington's greenhouse gang, and they've come to this conclusion: To win, they have to talk about other topics, like gas prices and kids choking on pollutants.
More than two years since Democrats' cap-and-trade plan died in Congress, the strategic shift represents a reluctant acknowledgment from environmentalists that they've lost ground by tackling global warming head-on. Their best bet now lies in a bit of a bait and switch: Help elect global warming fighters by basing campaigns on kitchen-table issues.
What's funny is that this story would have been news in early 2009 — when I first reported on it (see here). Heck, it still would have been news in mid-2010 when the Washington Post's Ezra Klein wrote about it in his article, "Can you solve global warming without talking about global warming?"
What the Politico missed entirely is there has been a backlash against that rebranding because many in the progressive and environmental communities realized that the rebranding effort failed, realized that focusing just on topics like gas prices doesn't work.
How ironic that Politico ran the story next to an ExxonMobil ad for the
oil tar sands — since the biggest recent political success of the environmental movement, halting the approval of the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, was done by talking explicitly about global warming, a strategy explicitly championed by one of the leaders of the effort, Bill McKibben.
I asked McKibben to comment on his winning strategy, and he wrote me:
Talking about climate was precisely what rallied most of the people who came out to oppose the Keystone Pipeline. The largest civil disobedience action in 30 years on any issue saw people from all 50 states taking part, not jsut or even mainly the 6 along the pipeline route. When we circled the White House five deep with people, the most common banner was simply a quote from Obama: In my administration the rise of the oceans will begin to slow.
People sense in their bones–especially on a week like this–that the climate is starting to shift–this issue is moving quickly from the theoretical to the deeply real.
Yes, leave it to the Politico to say no one is talking about global warming during one of the most extreme heat waves in the history of the country, one that is so extreme, even major networks are talking about global warming.
I'm not saying that everyone who supports climate action is now talking about global warming — obviously the president and his team still aren't. I'm merely saying that the story is mostly wrong, that the part that is "news" for the Politico — the supposedly rebranding — happened 3 years ago and the part that should be news for their readers is that there has now been a backlash to that rebranding.
That backlash comes in 2 forms. First, there has been a vast amount of polling and social science research done showing that global warming is a winning political issue (see links below). Indeed we now know climate is a wedge issue that splits the Tea Party extremists from independents and moderate Republicans (see for instance the 2011 work of Stanford public opinion expert Jon Krosnick: Democrats Taking "Green" Positions on Climate Change "Won Much More Often" Than Those Remaining Silent).
Second, more groups like Tarsands Action are starting to talk about climate change again.
Of course, some groups never stopped talking about global warming. You may have heard of the Center for American Progress Action Fund. It's where I work. Climate Progress is a project of CAPAF. I think it's safe to say CAPAF never stopped talking about global warming.
So guess how Politico begins its article about this supposedly new rebranding? By quoting CAPAF's director of climate strategy! Seriously, here's the quote in the very next paragraph after the excerpts above:
"You don't have to be James Carville to figure out that talking about people's health and the health of their children … is going to make a difference to the average voter, " Daniel Weiss, director of climate strategy at the Center for American Progress Action Fund, said.
Well, duh. We've always talked about all of the benefits of climate action, including public health. Indeed, one of the central points of my blog is that it's important to explain to people that climate change is going to affect their health and their children's health.
I asked Weiss to comment on the story::
Advocates continue to talk about global warming and its threat to Americans and other people. This includes direct health impacts such as more smog and tropical diseases. And it also includes educating the public and media about the great human and economic costs posed by more ferocious storms, persistent droughts, sea level rise, ocean acidification and other horrible consequences of unchecked carbon dioxide pollution. Every poll shows the public wants action on global warming and clean air. They want to cut carbon dioxide pollution and increase investments in clean energy technologies since they create jobs, increase security, and cut pollution.
And we're not even an environmental organization. We just know that it's important to keep talking about the gravest threat to the health and well-being of Americans and indeed all of humanity.
The Politico relies on one pollster who isn't actually known for polling in this area to bolster its narrative:
It's no surprise that climate change has become less important to voters, said Thom Riehle, a longtime Democratic pollster who is now a senior vice president for YouGov.com.
Whereas support for climate change mitigation was at 50 percent to 60 percent in 2007, Riehle said, "it's dramatically lower now."
Except that isn't actually true.
Over a dozen polls in the past 3 years show that public support for climate action never wavered, starting back in 2009 — see Mark Mellman must read on climate messaging (5/09): "A strong public consensus has emerged on the reality and severity of global warming, as well as on the need for federal action."
It really doesn't even matter how you phrased the question — even if you called it "cap-and-trade" — the public wanted climate action in 2009:
- Public support for action on global warming has grown since January (6/09)
- Swing state poll finds 60% "would be more likely to vote for their senator if he or she supported the [climate] bill" and Independents support the bill 2-to-1 (9/09)
- New CNN poll finds "nearly six in 10 independents" support cap-and-trade (10/09)
- Voters in Ohio, Michigan and Missouri overwhelmingly support action on clean energy and global warming (11/09)
- Overwhelming US Public Support for Global Warming Action (12/09)
- Public Opinion Stunner: WashPost-ABC Poll Finds Strong Support for Global Warming Reductions Despite Relentless Big Oil and Anti-Science Attacks (12/09)
Riehle is confusing the public's answer to some specific polling questions on climate — many of which were poorly worded — with polling questions on support for climate action.
Support for climate action and aggressive clean energy policies actually rose slightly in 2010 climate action even during the depths of the recession, even in the face of an unprecedented fossil-fuel-funded disinformation campaign during the climate bill debate — even without the White House using its bully pulpit to tip the scales further (see "Memo to policymakers: Public STILL favors the transition to clean energy" and links below):
What's so head-exploding about the Politico's article is that in their very article, they themselves published a poll that contradicts Riehle:
So the public overwhelmingly supports stricter limits on carbon dioxide — and they think it would have a positive impact on public health and air quality and even the economy and jobs.
So how precisely does the Politico quote some other pollster claiming support for "climate change mitigation" is "dramatically lower now." Is the Politico really unaware of the fact that stricter limits on carbon dioxide is the same thing as climate change mitigation?

13 Responses to Politico Runs Story On Global Warming 'Rebranding' 3 Years Late — Then Gets Story Backwards
"Political journalist" is not exactly a flattering job description. They pride themselves on being hardheaded, but this has its own meaning for both them and their friends in the oil companies: How do we make more money next year?
As you pointed out, they don't even get public opinion correctly. This could be either ignorance or corruption, but it doesn't matter. Time to ignore Politico and other journalists such as George Will and Bill O'Reilly.
Having completely ditched the mainstream press, I couldn't resist the urge to follow the link to the article mentioned. What I found there left me astonished and depressed. I was even foolish enough to read some of the comments on that site. My mood will be sunk for a couple hours, but I'll recover and continue on my path towards a green future.
What do you expect from a conservative publication like Politico? To be fair, they are center-right, and can actually be fair unlike most conservative publications, but their anti-reality bias tends to peek through from time to time, like on this story.
There actually has been a re-branding of sorts on the global level. They're talking about "Sustainable Development" on the build up to Rio +20 because the people in charge believe there is an aversion to anything 'Climate' right now.
Politico may have been late to the party but they are not that far off.
I'm convinced that the winning argument is to forego "cap-and-trade" or a "carbon tax" and to just say we're going to ban coal.
With "cap-and-trade" and "carbon tax", we're on the losing end because there is no compromise position and motives will always be suspect ("It is just a scheme to make government bigger.") An outright ban is easier to defend.
A 30-40 year phase out of coal is simple. It reflects the fact that coal fired plants by their nature depreciate. And how can you cheat? Ain't know way that you're hiding a 120-car train of coal.
Dan Akerson's comments on the reality of global warming during a Commonwealth Club interview are welcome and evidience that the politics around AGW are changing (I have a petition of support for Mr. Akerson up on Change.org and would appreciate it if folks would lend their signitures to it:
Another is a Sunday editorial by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that cut the deniers off at the knees:
If we can keep the pressure up, the showdown will come this year. The carbon tax proposal could be the catalyst whereby we finally confront global warming and ocean acidification. I hope so.
If anyone's attempting to rebrand at the moment, it's the opposition – and they're not doing an especially good job of it! I took a recent look at one such case and was not impressed by what I found:
We need to stop talking about Keystone XL as if we won the fight. We haven't. We forced a hesitation from Obama, something to be proud of but a far cry from actually stopping KXL. A stall will make no positive impact on the climate and air/water of Alberta if the pipeline is built a year or two late.
It was a monumental mistake for MicKibben and 350 to claim victory over a project that is still being pushed through, and now with less public resistance because of our highly-celebrated "winning strategy." I hope the mistake doesn't prove fatal to the fight. Obama seems happy to let the southern part of the pipeline go through and give TransCanada time for it's bait-and-switch to a less controversial northern route. They have $7 billion on the line.
Less critically, I laughed out loud when I saw you wrote an article calling out Politico's bizarre and untimely article, although I don't know if I consider their energy reporting "center-right" although some seem rather close to Bracewell & Giuliani's energy shop…
Not cap-and-trade! Cap-and-trade means enormous sums of money being traded by Wall Street firms and other Fat Cats purely for profit. This has nothing to do with controlling carbon emissions. Coal and other fossil fuel industry powers actually favor it–it is what they are willing to accept, which should say something all by itself!
Not Carbon Tax! Taxes go to the government where the money becomes an extension of a political process that is already swimming in too much money.
FEE and DIVIDEND! A flat fee per unit mass of carbon. $100/ton, say, to start. But return the money to the citizens pro-rated on the basis of their individual carbon footprint. People who live with a minimum of carbon fuel will receive a larger share of what is collected. Give all of the money back, say once per month. Put it directly in their bank account or on a debit card account. Raise the fee over time to make it an ever more meaningfull and powerfull incentive to burn less carbon fuel and to come up with creative alternative!
Never going to happen. Coal is money in the ground and someone is going to burn it. If it's China, as they've been increasing their imports while we've been decreasing our usage, does the atmosphere care what country the carbon comes from.
Speaking of rebranding, didn't NPR recently decide it was going to stop reporting he said/she said news? The decision was worded something like, "if there is a clear majority position on an issue, we're going to report it that way." They are clearly talking about global warming — no more phony "debate" between the denier crowd and 98 percent of climate scientists.
This is a positive step, and I think the beginning of a sea change in the media and public's perception of the defining issue of the 21st century — at least I hope so.

HourlyLess than 30 hrs/week
Intermediate LevelI am looking for a mix of experience and value
-- United States or Canada based person only.
-- Extensive experience with on-boarding processes OR/and a college degree
-- Ability to explain complex processes, benefits and actions needed in plain English.
-- NO airhead
-- Females preferred.
-- You will also be co-responsible in molding the best on-boarding and client retention process (as we move to a new re-booted website)
-- Payment is partially fixed, and partially flexible based on client retention by February 2015.
We are the world's 2nd largest fine jewelry and gems community. But we have had problems keeping members involved.
As we are expanding our activities, re-booting the website and adding editorial team members it's time to launch an extensive on-boarding process.
Many joined Farlang because they see the potential, yet they rake too few benefits from it themselves.
As an on-boarding manager you will start handholding the jewelry artists, introduce them to the many opportunities, guide them through processes and treat every current member as if they were newly joined members.
We offer many different jewelry activities and many artists do not always have the backgrounds to appreciate the complexity, the benefits and how to use our activities to the best of their ability. Most do not have a college degree, are artisans/craftspeople typically with an arts degree or just high-school diploma.
They are often juggling many jobs so they are oftentimes also time-strapped besides being comprehension-strapped.
As an on-boarding manager it is your task to make the transition/introduction/use of Farlang as smoothly as possible.
All on-boarding (or one could also say re-on-boarding) is done by phone and email. My guess is initially 10-20 hours/week.
You will be constantly evaluated by the amount of churn, negative feedback, and other queries we will do by the members. Your targets are to retain a mutually agreed number of members after a 6-month period.
Payment is therefore partially per hour, and partially upon meeting these targets. After all: if your on-boarding works, they will stay. If you failed, they will leave.
Client retention/on-boarding will be evaluated by 1) % of clients remained per March 1st 2015. and 2) customer surveys throughout the coming 6 months. We currently have 40 members that are relevant for 1) and we'll grow to an additional 100 or so participants for which 2) is relevant.
Check for example this source: http://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/35590/file-13810292-pdf/docs/9clientonboardingstrategies.pdf
Please start with "on-boarding".

Photo Details
Fran Dodds I am researching my husband's family. Searching for his GGrandfather, David Dodds. Married a Kelly, maybe Mary Kelly. They had a son, my husband's great-grandfather Reuben Moses Dodds, born 4-4-1842/died 6-18-1918. "Mose" had a brother John, killed during Civil War; a brother named Jesse. Moses and Jesse came to Chester, SC after Civil War. Married, lived, died, buried here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. "Mose" had a grandson named Melvin.

News Wait—Does India Have Gay Marriage?
posted by November 13 at 12:33 PMon
I don't think they do—so how come men are marrying dogs in India? I thought gay marriage came first, then man-on-dog marriage. Guess they do things differently down there.
Man marries bitch to beat curse
An Indian man has married a female dog, believing the union will help him atone for stoning two other dogs to death.
The "bride" wore a sari and a garland. P Selvakumar, 33, said he had been cursed since the killings, suffering paralysis and a loss of hearing.
The wedding took place at a Hindu temple in Tamil Nadu state. The "bride" wore an orange sari with a flower garland and was fed a bun to celebrate.
Thanks to Slog tipper Reggie.

School finance plan could be revived
Parts of failed ballot measure targeted
DENVER — An ambitious plan by lawmakers last year to overhaul Colorado's school finances was rejected by voters, but it's not exactly back to the drawing board as legislators this year try to revive pieces of the mammoth education overhaul.
As the 2014 legislative session opened last week, lawmakers started eyeing Colorado's sizable budget surplus to fund some of the ideas, including additional support for students learning English and more help for struggling readers.
Democrats who control the Legislature and the governor's office also want to see flexible student count days and expanded training for teachers, two ideas in the education finance overhaul.
"I'm hopeful that we can work together to find ways to implement various common-sense enhancements to our schools," Democratic House Speaker Mark Ferrandino told his colleagues as the session opened.
There's no doubt that the overall school proposal is dead, though. The plan was several years in the making but took effect only if voters approved an income tax of about $1 billion a year to pay for it.
Voters last November rejected the idea nearly 2-to-1. Though the measure could be revived for future ballots, education analysts predicted lawmakers would be more likely to look for popular elements of the package to revive, not the whole thing.
