Sygnis Pharma is acquiring X-Pol Biotech, a subsidiary of Genetrix that is developing sequencing technologies and products. Under terms of the proposed deal Sygnis will take 100% ownership of X-Pol through a capital increase against contribution in kind. Once the transaction has been completed existing X-Pol shareholders are expected own 77.5% of Sygnis. The proposed terms of the deal have been approved by both firms' executive and supervisory boards.
Spanish firm X-Pol was founded in 2008 to develop tools and technologies for DNA amplification and sequencing. Currently 84% owned by biotech incubator Genetrix, the firm's lead commercial product, Qualiiphi® polymerase, was earlier this month licensed to Qiagen. X-Pol claims its DNA polymerases demonstrate unique properties that boost the performance of DNA amplification, and can be applied for a wide range of applications in DNA amplification, repair, sequencing, and genetic modification.
Sygnis' acquisition of X-Pol will represent a major shift in its business focus. To date the firm has specialized in the development of therapies for central nervous system disorders. Its pipeline was headed by a granulocyte colony–stimulating factor candidate filgrastim (AX200), which was evaluated in a Phase II trial as a treatment for ischemic stroke. However, the study data, reported in December 2011, failed to show any benefits of therapy using AX200, and Sygnis confirmed in February that it was looking at M&A opportunities or other financing options. Meanwhile, drug discovery work continues on Sygnis' Kibra gene program targeting nervous system diseases impacted by memory loss.
The proposed acquisition of X-Pol will thus create "a new Sygnis, with a new profile based on its long-lasting expertise" comments CFO Peter Willinger. The aim will be to build the X-Pol DNA sequencing business and related activities within the field of molecular diagnostics. "The company will have an entirely new focus and business and will provide a lower risk profile with the near-term visibility of revenues and profitability."

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

Layoffs have become a fact of life in today's economy; initiated in the mid 1970s, they are now widely expected, and even accepted. It doesn t have to be that way.In "The Disposable American," award-winning reporter Louis Uchitelle offers an eye-opening account of layoffs in America how they started, their questionable necessity, and their devastating psychological impact on individuals at all income levels. Through portraits of both executives and workers at companies such as Stanley Works, United Airlines, and Citigroup, Uchitelle shows how layoffs are in fact counterproductive, rarely promoting efficiency or profitability in the long term. Recognizing that a global competitive economy makes tightening necessary, Uchitelle offers specific recommendations for government policies that would encourage companies to avoid layoffs and help create jobs, benefiting workers, corporations, and the nation as a whole.
About the Author
Louis Uchitelle worked as a reporter, a foreign correspondent, and the editor of the business news department at the Associated Press before joining "The New York Times "in 1980. He has been writing about business, labor, and economics for the "Times "since 1987. He was the lead reporter for the "Times "series "The Downsizing of America," which won a George Polk Award in 1996. He has taught at Columbia University and was a visiting scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation in New York in 2002-2003. He lives with his wife, Joan, in Scarsdale, New York.
Praise For…
"Uchitelle effectively wrecks the claim that all this downsizing makes the country more productive, more competitive, more flexible. . . . A strong case that the whole middle class is at risk."
—The New York Times
"The Disposable American is an overdue wake-up call that could start making the wisdom of layoffs that much less conventional."
—San Francisco Chronicle
"Incisive. . . . An airtight case against the common wisdom that favors job cuts."
"Uchitelle writes about the moral failings of our modern corporate structure with deep and persuasive insight. That alone makes the book a must-read." —Detroit Free Press

I can't seem to find out how to get the size, in scalars, (or bytes) of a uniform in GLSL.
Currently I call glGetActiveUniform as I enumerate all my shader constants, but the size parameter it returns is an array size, not a variable size.
Is there a function to get the data size? Or a function that maps the ConstantType to its size?
Here's my code, for completeness:
char ConstantName[ 128 ];
GLint ConstantArraySize;
GLenum ConstantType;
glGetActiveUniform( Program, ConstantIndex, 128, nullptr, &ConstantArraySize, &ConstantType, ConstantName );

I really liked the size of the room and the bathroom, as it was comfortable enough for three people to live in during our stay. The lighting and the furniture were also decent. The commute to the city, whether by train or bus, wasn't bad at all.
I never felt like the room was truly cleaned. There was an incident where my sister discovered they hadn't removed a chocolate from the bed and it stained the sheets. It was also pretty sparse in the area surrounding it, and the walls between rooms were awfully thin so you could hear everything going on in the hall and other rooms.
Ibis Kriens - Nice hotel
This is not located in Lucerne main town but little away from it. But there is a train that connects Lucerene station every 15 min. and it takes only 3 minutes to reach there. This allowed us to enjoy the serene atmosphere of Kriens yet not very far off from main city.
Hotel room was very clean. Bed was comfortable.
This is budget hotel.
So no coffee maker or even cups were provided. The shower room is compact.
Super market is far away to walk. So if you want to buy something, get from Lucerene itself.
Extremely accommodating, great facility, friendly staff, AMAZING breakfast.
Close to train station, breakfast included and the mini bar is stocked with drinks for free, nice sized room, nice sized bathroom, nice decor, comfortable beds
Price was HIGH and the air conditioner stunk. Smelled sour. I felt like I was breathing in mold
It is very near to the train station and chapel bridge. A modern and comfortable hotel to stay in.
It will be good if there is an electric kettle to make tea at night. But you can request a pot of hot hot water from the restaurant on the ground floor which is next to the reception.
I was very pleased that the hotel was close to the concert hall and that there was adjacent parking.
location very good..breakfast ok. not bad.
Really modern room with frosted glass walled bathroom/wetroom. Large shower for two and wooden floors in the bedroom with modern white walls and furniture. Good location and very nice penthouse bar with great views. Hotel reception staff very helpful and friendly. Breakfast above average but not exceptional.
The hotel has several resturants all of which are a little on the pricey side. We ate in the italian where we found the service to be very poor. People left and right of us had their orders taken and their starters delivered before us even though they arrived after us. Staff could often be seen chatting while people were trying to attract their attention. The food was decidedly average, and with a price tag of over £100 pounds for a meal for two with a bottle of wine I think that better value can be found elsewhere. I know switzerland is expensive but you can do better than this.
realy magic hotel。 i love it。
Good location, near the lake and shopping area
Excellent service with an value for money
Nice hotel overall but overpriced
Bathroom leaking :-)
Beautiful Design, friendly staff, excellent location. Just perfect.
House keeping in the room was lacking. Floors not swept good and sink had toothpaste from previous day in it.
Location was the best attribute.
The room we had was small & so cramped for 2 big people.
The room temperature was the adequate for the season the room was very clean and smells very nice.
Good location in the center of Luzern, nice rooms, sweet personnel
Great value for money, ideal location in historic heart of Lucerne, clean room, friedly staff, healthy breakfast buffet.
No parking infront of hotel (pedestrian zone)
Business style, free network access, front desk staff are very nice and professtional, friendly.
Pillows are too soft, floor carpet is old, no slippers, room serive ites are very limited after 10 pm.
Excellent service standards, very prompt and truly international. Five minutes walking distance from the rail station.
Though I booked a room with lake view, the lake was not visible (Partly visible, poor view) from my room. I had to look for the lake between the trees guarding the view. May be from higher floors the lake is visible.
double room with in room bathroom. room was very tiny and literally no room to move..
bathroom was neat and clean..
linen were not clean..
just an ok option for 1 night.. not value for money
too tiny room and unclean linen..

Guided Walks - Gourmet Food
Our Trips
Southern Wilderness Guided Walks with Gourmet Menus in the Nelson Tasman Region

The Heaphy Track in Kahurangi National Park, The Coastal Track in Abel Tasman National Park as well as the Travers Sabine Circuit and Mt Angelus Alpine Experience in the Nelson Lakes National Park these are the flagship multi-day walks in the region.
While anyone can walk on the Heaphy Track, Abel Tasman Coastal Track or in the Nelson Lakes by themselves, a Gourmet Guided Walk option enables you to experience fantastic tracks with relative ease and luxury – without the heavy burden of carrying your own food and equipment or the time consuming task of organizing all the logistics of your trip; the transport, meals and safety planning. Let the guides bring your walking experience to life! Their knowledge of the trail and great cooking skills mean that all you have to do is relax and enjoy the experience. The guides are all well trained in safety and risk management, as keeping you safe and sound is our number one priority.

You can even Upgrade Your Holiday with our custom package options!
Do you remember when TV went from Black & White to Technicolor? Well a Gourmet Guided trip is very similar to that monumental shift of enjoyment. While most people walk through a track with only limited local knowledge of the plants, creatures, history, geology, and astronomy, our guides have spent considerable time studying a vast array of subjects to share interesting and fun stories with you. Don't worry, our trips are not school trips, and there are no tests – the guides will bring your adventure to life with a depth of knowledge that is refreshing, fun and informal.
Transport, safety management and catering are fully provided for in each of our packages. With an emphasis on wholesome local foods, we put the 'Gourmet factor' into your hike! All guides employed by Southern Wilderness hold current first aid certificates and are equipped with the up to date knowledge and safety/communications equipment.

BHP Denies Blocking Access to Small South African Coal Exporters
BHP Billiton Ltd. rebuffed a report that it blocked the access of smaller miners to Africa's biggest coal terminal and said its own expansion in South Africa is curtailed by a lack of port capacity.
State port and rail operator Transnet SOC Ltd. has accused BHP, a shareholder in the Richards Bay terminal, of not doing enough to allow black-owned mining companies to use the port, Business Day reported earlier. BHP has refused to allocate greater export rights demanded by the smaller companies, the newspaper said, citing Transnet head Brian Molefe.
BHP is "disappointed by the way Transnet's Chief Executive Officer Brian Molefe chose to portray the miner as denying small independent coal exporters access," Manie Dreyer, president of BHP's local coal unit, said in an e-mailed statement. The company is "short of port capacity and it is unable to even develop some of its own remaining prospecting rights."
Shipments from Richards Bay, designed to handle 91 million metric tons of coal a year, fall short of that capacity, leaving some miners unable to export. The terminal's shareholders disagree with Transnet over who is at fault for the low volumes, with the latter accusing holders of shutting out small exporters and BHP claiming that Transnet's freight rail capacity to the port is insufficient.
Transnet is conducting a feasibility study for a proposed new coal terminal next to Richards Bay to cater for small miners, Molefe said in an interview in Johannesburg yesterday. The facility would have a capacity at least 10 million tons.
"The principle is if the small miners feel they are not being accommodated at Richards Bay, we will take measures to accommodate them," Molefe said.
The CEO said he recently had a "disastrous meeting" with BHP at which they "nearly came to blows" because the company had refused to give up an extra 1 million tons of annual export allocation to junior miners, according to Business Day.
BHP owns a 21 percent stake in the Richards Bay terminal, down from 40 percent a decade ago, according to the company.

Get Cheap Car Insurance
Insuring your car is a legal necessity and if you're not careful, it can get expensive. Our free car insurance comparison tool can help you find the best deals but before you compare, there are a few things you can do to keep costs down generally, from simply driving less to installing a black box.
We'll go through the basics of getting yourself covered so that you know what you should be looking for and how to find it.
Under Continuous Insurance Enforcement rules, you must have an active car insurance policy for your vehicle unless it is legally declared off road with a Statutory Off-Road Notification, or SORN. Naturally, if you've taken out a SORN, your vehicle must remain unused and, importantly, literally off any public roads.
Those in breach of this could face punishments ranging from cash fines (of up to £1,000) to vehicle seizure and even prosecution in some cases.
Taking out a SORN is pretty straightforward, you just need to get in touch with the DVLA and provide them with various details about your vehicle as well as certain reference numbers.
Choose the Right Type of Cover
Naturally, the level of cover you choose will affect the cost of your policy.
There are three basic types of car insurance policy available:
- Third Party
- Third Party, Fire and Theft (TPFT)
- Fully Comprehensive
The most basic level of cover, this type of policy will pay out if you damage another person's vehicle or property but will not cover any repairs you need to make to your own vehicle.
This type of policy will give you basic third party cover, as well as cover against theft, damage done during attempted theft, and fire damage. TPFT policies will pay for repairs to your vehicle in any of these situations
Fully comprehensive policies are the highest level of cover available and, depending on the particular policy, will cover you for more or less anything. It's important that you read the small print for each policy though, as not every fully comp policy will come with exactly the same level of cover.
Generally speaking, the cost of your policy will go up with the level of cover, but this is not always the case – so always compare a variety of different policies in order to make sure you get the best price.
Know Your Vehicle's Group
Each car will fit in one of 50 different car insurance groups and the cost of your policy will vary accordingly.
Cars in group 1 will be the cheapest to cover, and cars in group 50 will be the most expensive.
If you're driving a high end sports car that falls in one of the top groups it will cost more to insure but, depending on the type of car, you might be able to take out a specialist policy tailored to your vehicle that could save you money.
Unfortunately for younger drivers, cover will be more expensive than for older, more experienced drivers.
While there's not really any getting around this fact, this doesn't mean that relatively cheap car insurance is a pipe dream.
If you take out a specialised learner policy while you're learning to drive, for example, then by the time you actually pass, you'll find that many insurers will offer you a discount on your premiums.
Optional Extras
There are a few things you can do to make sure that you get the cheapest car insurance policies around:
Black Box Insurance
Many insurers offer black box policies. These involve a small device being fitted in your vehicle that tracks various things like your speed, breaking and mileage. The better and safer you drive with a black box, the cheaper your cover will be.
Pass Plus
Pass Plus is a scheme designed to offer you the chance to prove that you are a safe, responsible driver. Taking a Pass Plus test to supplement your basic practical and theory tests can make your cover a bit cheaper.
No Claims Discount
One of the best ways to get cheaper car insurance premiums is by making the most of the no claims discount that your insurer will offer.
The longer you go without incident, the more you'll get discounted from your policy. Generally, this is up to a maximum of five years, by which point you can expect a reduction of up to 75% from your premium.
Different insurers have different policies on the matter but generally speaking, accidents that are in no way your fault shouldn't invalidate your no claims bonus.
It can sometimes be worth not claiming for minor damages to your vehicle and instead just paying up front for the repairs in order to protect your no claims discount.
Compare Policies
Very simply, the best thing you can do if you want to make sure that you get the best level of cover at the best price is to compare car insurance policies from a range of insurers.
A whole host of factors from the value of your car to your age will affect the prices you are offered so it's crucial that you really scour the market to guarantee that you're getting the best deals available.
Cheap Car Insurance
If you require assistance finding cheap car insurance quotes, take a look at our guides and learn how to get affordable motor insurance that best suits you.
Having an understanding of how UK car insurance companies work is vital when searching for the cheapest car insurance quotes. Our guides will teach you how your circumstances affect the price you pay, so that you can lower your car insurance premiums.

Viewer Comments: Palpitations - Effective Treatments
Patient Comments & Reviews
The eMedicineHealth doctors ask about Palpitations:
Palpitations - Effective Treatments
What kinds of treatments have been effective for your palpitations?
Comment from: mommie4, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: June 25
I had two babies within 15 months of each other and was in my 40s. Three months after my last child was born, the palpitations started. I have had many tests and no true diagnosis as to why. One doctor says it's hormonal, but my baby is almost four and I am still having them.
Comment from: Beverlybeeb, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: February 02
I am on Toprol XL 25mg daily for palpitations and Cozaar 50mg for hypertension. Monday I had an injection in my knee of cortisone. The palpitations came back the day after the injection. I was finished walking on my treadmill for 30 minutes and they began and haven't gone away yet.
Comment from: Worsening Symptoms, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: March 07
My palpitations started 15 +/- years ago around age 50. I have had very little (to no) caffeine since then and drink minimal amounts of alcohol occasionally. I have been size 8 to 10 and have always exercised. The palpitations have been controlled with medication until the last month. For myself, I believe the entire cause is stress. That is reaffirmed by the comment by the person who was prescribed diazepam and has felt so much better and by the person who lies in the floor and takes deep breaths to relax.
Comment from: Chris, 35-44 Male (Patient) Published: April 01
I'm like several others on here. I started experiencing palpitations when I was about 16. I am now 36 and I have been having them roughly once a week for the last 20 years. Initially they only lasted for about 30 seconds, but for the last 10 years or so they have lasted up to several hours. I never experienced fainting or pain, but it is a very "disturbing" experience. Usually my heart rate jumps to around 200 beats per minute and remains regular, but then it will slow down and beat irregularly until it converts back to normal.
Comment from: sandy, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: January 19
I started having palpitations when I was 12 and am now 50. I also started my period and was put on thyroid medication that year. I was only on thyroid for a year, but I was also given Lanoxin for the palpitations because that's what my dad was on. (My dad has had this since age 32). Several years later I realized that the Lanoxin had no effect and I stopped taking it. I typically have episodes several times per year. They have occurred 3x in one week or once in 6 months. The rate is often 230+ beats per min. At first there seemed to be no precipitating factors but after a few years of recording it I noticed they sometimes would happen when I would bend over toward the floor while standing or when I would roll over in bed. I have always been able to stop them by lying down on the floor and taking a couple of deep breaths and they would stop suddenly - until recently. Now I have had 2 episodes when I could not get them to stop and after an hour I slowly went back to regular rhythm. Last week I was near my doctor's office when I could not get the palpitations to stop and I got there in time for an EKG. For the first time in 40 years, I have documentation
Comment from: Verena, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: December 29
Valsalva maneuver & metoprolol, trying not to overdo the caffeine.
Comment from: Fred, 35-44 Male (Patient) Published: December 10
I have had palpitations for the past 20 years and I just had to put up with it as nothing seemed to work. Last year, my doctor put me on diazepam tablets. It was the best thing to ever happen to me. I haven't had a single day of palpitations when I used to get them every day.
Comment from: Reggie, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: November 30
I have of late had palpitations and last night and three nights ago laying in bed my heart was racing for no apparent reason. I am premenopausal and recently had hot flashes. My blood pressure has been high lately and this entire ordeal is freaking me out.
Comment from: Cader, 35-44 Male (Patient) Published: August 06
My first episode of palpitation started 16 years ago. As advised by the Doctor, ECG and ECHO cardiac was done and found to be normal. When I inquired from the Doctor asking the underline reasons, he advised to reduce Tea and Coffee. Since then I had only very few episodes that was due to very heavy meals and increase caffeine intake.

IDG News: IDG Goes GLOBAL!
In honor of the 4th annual International Day of the Girl, we are proud to share the various ways The Grail and other girls' organizations throughout the world have celebrated this year's International Day of the Girl.
Join us as we acknowledge what The Grail is doing for the advancement of girls rights WORLDWIDE!
- Established in 1921, The Grail is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) committed to building a world of justice and peace through education and action and to standing in solidarity with those who struggle to overcome poverty.
In celebration for this year's Day of the Girl, The Grail has planned its very own IDG celebrations in a variety of countries including Mexico, South Africa, Brazil, Portugal, Mozambique, Ecuador, Papua New Guinea and Australia.
From October 1-11th, The Grail will work alongside girl advocates and other girls' rights organizations in the above countries to advance opportunities for girls, and increase awareness of inequality faced by girls worldwide based upon their gender.
Currently, The Grail has launched an Open Day in public areas throughout Papua New Guinea to display issues affecting local girls; organized small workshop for girls with motivational talks on guidelines to access opportunities in South Africa; shared food and girl empowering exercises in Ecuador; and organized a school rally to raise public awareness of the different types of discrimination and abuse that many girls suffer from in Mozambique.
On behalf of the Working Group on Girls and everyone on the IDG Summit Team, we would like to extend our greatest appreciation to The Grail and other girls' rights organizations that continuously work towards the global advancement of the International Day of the Girl agenda. Girls worldwide are one step closer to fairness and equality and we have the members of these organizations to thank.
Thank You.

#GirlsTakeOver for the 4th International Day of the Girl
It was 3pm on an unsuspecting Friday afternoon when the girls invaded. They shoved their way past the guards, crawled through the entry, through the vent system, and landed smack dab in the middle of the Trusteeship Chamber of the United Nations. This was no childish stunt, however. These girls had a mission: to expand policy and get girls on the agenda. Girls from all over answered the call. Some showed up in person; others sent their voices.
This takeover was a celebration of the fourth annual International Day of the Girl. It was decided in 2011 by the General Assembly that October 11th would be a day of the girls, for the girls, and by the girls; a day to recognize girls' rights along with the unique challenges that they face around the world.
Voices from girls worldwide were represented at "the takeover." Akila from Egypt told us about her mother, who married her father when she was 14 and got pregnant at 16. Valentina from Colombia told her story of the domestic violence she witnessed in her own home. Gillian from the United States opened up about her experience as a pregnant teen, who was kicked out of the house. Aria from Brazil told about her experience with sexual harassment during the World Cup. Camilla of Nicaragua told us how she only got an education up until 5th grade while her brothers continued their education long after that. Maya shed some light on the issue of Female Genital Mutilation, which she had to undergo at the age of 5.
There were some pretty important people who got on board with this mission as well. H.E. Mogens Lykketoft, President of the General Assembly, showed his support virtually over the big screen. Ambassador Guillermo E. Rishchynski of Canada, a key influence in putting IDG on the calendar, passionately preached about the importance of educating a girl. Marta Santos Pais, SRSG on Violence Against Children, noted how child marriage was "anachronistic" and should not be an issue of today. Ambassador Gustavo Meza-Cuadra Velasquez said he was awed by the courage of Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai, and he encouraged us all to follow her footsteps and speak out for this cause.
The event was a huge success. It reaffirmed the role that girls play in global politics. It captured the unique stories of girls from all around the world. It empowered attendees to join the movement and take action.

Yet another denier talking point melts down
Denier talking points are harder to kill than vampires. They keep rising from the dead no matter how many times scientists try to drive a stake through their heart.
Sometimes they take on a slightly different form, like a relentless, indestructible liquid-metal android assassin from the future that constantly switches appearance in an effort to fulfill its mission of ruining life on this planet for homo "sapiens."
And so it is with one of the most enduring denier myths, that the satellite data didn't show the global warming that the surface temperature data did. When this myth was exposed as bad data analysis by scientists at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, it morphed into a narrower claim about supposed discrepancies between the modeled and observed rate of warming in the tropical troposphere — a claim which itself was quickly debunked (see "Should you believe anything John Christy and Roy Spencer say?"). But since that debunking did not come in a peer-reviewed publication, the myth lived on for hard-core deniers.
The fatal blow has come in the form of a new paper, "Consistency of modelled and observed temperature trends in the tropical troposphere," (subs. req'd, RealClimate post here, and a fact sheet with everything you could possibly want to know about the study in laymen's language here). The International Journal of Climatology article has 17 authors, including some of the top climate scientists in the country. Its bottom line:
Using state-of-the-art observational datasets and results from a large archive of computer model simulations, a consortium of scientists from 12 different institutions has resolved a long-standing conundrum in climate science — the apparent discrepancy between simulated and observed temperature trends in the tropics. Research published by this group indicates that there is no fundamental discrepancy between modeled and observed tropical temperature trends when one accounts for: 1) the (currently large) uncertainties in observations; 2) the statistical uncertainties in estimating trends from observations. These results refute a recent claim that model and observed tropical temperature trends "disagree to a statistically significant extent". This claim was based on the application of a flawed statistical test and the use of older observational datasets.
I would say "Ouch" or "D'oh" but since the "et al" in the original flawed Douglass et al paper included the likes of John Christy and S. Fred Singer, the more appropriate one word response is probably "Duh."
The fact sheet has a very interesting figure:
Estimates of observed temperature changes in the tropics (30°N-30°S). Changes are expressed as departures from average conditions over 1979 to 2006. The top panel shows results for the surface and lower troposphere. The thin red and black lines in the top panel are 12-month running averages of the temperature changes for individual months. The thick straight lines are trends that have been fitted to the time series of surface and tropospheric temperature changes. The warming trend is larger in the tropospheric temperature data than in the surface temperature record, in accord with computer model results. The bottom panel shows a commonly-used index of El Ni±o and La Ni±a activity, consisting of sea-surface temperature changes averaged over the so-called Ni±o 3.4 region of the tropical Pacific. The bottom panel shows that much of the year-to-year variability in surface and lower tropospheric temperatures is related to changes in El Ni±os and La Ni±as.
In short, "El Ni±os and La Ni±as introduce considerable year-to-year variability [or noise] in surface and tropospheric temperature" superimposed on the underlying warming trend. The authors note:
The underlying "signal trend" is what we really want to compare in climate models and observations. Any meaningful statistical test of the differences between modeled and observed temperature trends must therefore account for the statistical uncertainty in estimating this "signal trend" from noisy observational data. The Douglass et al. test did not account for this uncertainty.
Ouch D'oh Duh.
The Real Climate post ends by noting:
Taking a slightly larger view, I think this example shows quite effectively how blogs can play a constructive role in moving science forward (something that we discussed a while ago). Given the egregiousness of the error in this particular paper (which was obvious to many people at the time), having the initial blog posting up very quickly alerted the community to the problems even if it wasn't a comprehensive analysis. The time in-between the original paper coming out and this new analysis was almost 10 months. The resulting paper is of course much better than any blog post could have been and in fact moves significantly beyond a simple rebuttal. This clearly demonstrates that there is no conflict between the peer-review process and the blogosphere. A proper paper definitely takes more time and gives generally a better result than a blog post, but the latter can get the essential points out very quickly and can save other people from wasting their time.
Blogs rule!
Kudos to Gavin Schmidt and all of the authors of this excellent paper. Jeers to the climate
terminators deniers.

Regarding your putting "sapiens" in quotes:
I think maybe it was author Sue Hubbell who suggested we be renamed "Homo mutans" because we insatiably change everything — without thinking.
"bad data analysis by scientists"
thats the sort of phrase that makes people shrug and say "who knows about this whole global warming thing anyway?"
Rick: The "but they are scientists!" claim is one of the easier ones to debunk, should that show up. (Check the comments on that link too; it's quite a good read.) I do agree that Joe should probably have used a qualifier, though I can't think of any which would be both (indisputably) accurate and appropriate.
Joe — 'Homo sapiens sapiens' is an older term for modern humans; the current term is just 'Homo sapiens'. The earlier forms of humans now have their own species name; the Latin form for 'Heidelberg man' comes to mind as an example, but I don't recall how to spell it.
Fatal blow? If only. You underestimate the indestructibility of liquid-metal android assassins from the future. In this case I expect the response will be, "You're saying the models agree with the observations only because of the large uncertainties in both? What sort of proof of the models is that?" (Cf Pielke Jr.)
David — so we've dropped a sapiens from our name? — None too soon, I'd say.
Mark hit the nail on the head. Defending the models by insisting that virtually any possible temperature profile is 'consistent with' the models only demonstrates that the models have no useful predictive value.
Defending the models by insisting that virtually any possible temperature profile is 'consistent with' the models only demonstrates that the models have no useful predictive value.
Poor Raven needs to move the goalposts to keep his ideology viable.
Young Raven, please go here and tell us specifically which models (or ensembles) have no predictive value.
And let us all know when you are going to publish your Galileo-like paper stating such, and showing those darn dirty warmers a thing or two!!!!!!
Poor Dano,
Has to trot out phrases like "moving the goal posts" to cover his own ignorance. I have long said the models have no predictive value and the only think that has changed is there is peer reviewed research that admits that too.
The paper in question simply rehashes the argument originally presented on RC when the Douglass paper came out. The RC argument was debunked here: http://www.climateaudit.org/?p=3058#comment-305420
The important step that Douglass followed which RC left out was he first removed all model runs which are obviously wrong because they could not get the surface temperature trends right.
I have long said the models have no predictive value and the only think that has changed is there is peer reviewed research that admits that too.
The world anxiously awaits this Galileo-like paper that you, young Raven, surely are ready to publish, right? After all, you have knowledge that others don't. You have a duty to teach the world, lad. And shut up all those green nazi warmer eh-gee-dubya religious priest adherent something-or-others.
Like I said, let us all know here when your manuscript is accepted. Because as we all know (except for a brave young lad, apparently), that is how knowledge is shared with the world.
A number of papers have been published on the limitations of the models. The only issue is too many people ignore these papers and insist that the models should be assumed to be useful despite these rather glaring problems.
In any case, the ultimate test for a model is if it can predict the future and the models used in AR4 are doing a pretty poor job since all of the real data suggests they have significantly overpredicted the amount of warming. Of course it is possible that it nothing more than an 8 year blip and warming will resume soon but we won't know until it happens. Until then the only reasonable position is to wait and see before betting trillions trying to solve a problem that may not actually exist.
Raven — Here are the five year averages from the HadCRUTv3 global surface temperature product:
(The flock of ravens around here all seem to understand that.)
john — Ouhgt to be even shorter:
Homo sap
Me: I expect the response will be, "You're saying the models agree with the observations only because of the large uncertainties in both? What sort of proof of the models is that?"
Raven: Mark hit the nail on the head. Defending the models by insisting that virtually any possible temperature profile is 'consistent with' the models only demonstrates that the models have no useful predictive value.
Well, my prediction wasn't falsified on this occasion!
I'd just like to make it clear I do not agree with Raven. The models (meaning ensembles of global climate models) have made predictions that could have been falsified and haven't. (By, for example, tropospheric cooling, or lower stratospheric warming, over the last few decades.) In this sense they are consistent with observations.
Until then the only reasonable position is to wait and see before betting trillions trying to solve a problem that may not actually exist.
Simplistic binary argumentation: what planet uses this for policy decisions?
Saaaaaay, Raven, are you from Jupiter? Betelgeuse? Do we have an honest to goodness alien in our midst? Can I get your autograph? DNA? A piece of your ship?
Eppur si corvo!

- While no deal has been reached, the Greek government's latest proposal makes major concessions on cutting deficits in the country's pension system - a long-standing demand of Greece's creditors.
- According to the Greeks, the pension savings should amount to 0.4% of GDP this year and 1% starting in 2016 - pretty close to the target demanded by the IMF, ECB, and EU governments. Pencil pushers in Brussels will spend the next few days going through the numbers ahead of an emergency summit late this week.
- Peripheral bond yields are headed south, while Germany's 10-year Bund yield is up ten basis points to 0.86%.
- The Stoxx 50 (NYSEARCA:FEZ) +2.6%, with Germany (NYSEARCA:EWG) up 2.7%, France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) +2.6%, Spain (EWQ) +2.5%, Italy (NYSEARCA:EWI) +1.7%, the U.K. (NYSEARCA:EWU) +1%. Greece is higher by 5.7%.
- GREK +2.7%, NBG +7.6% premarket

Jun. 12, 2015, 9:57 AM
- The bond rout of the past few weeks has been notable for its correlation. The bond markets of putative solid credits like Germany and the U.S. were hit as hard or even harder than those of countries like Spain and Italy.
- Potentially worrisome in today's action: Yields are flat to lower in Germany and the U.S. while moving sharply higher in the peripheral countries.
- The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield is down 1 bp to 2.37% and the 10-year German Bund yield is lower by 3 bps to 0.86%. Meanwhile, the Spanish 10-year yield is up 18 bps to 2.31%, and Italy up 12 bps to 2.26%.
- This is happening as another Greek default and then possible EU exit got more likely with the IMF technical team's return to D.C. yesterday, and investors may not want to be holding the paper of the next countries in line should anything adverse happen over the weekend.
- Spain's IBEX 35 (NYSEARCA:EWP) is lower by 1.3%, and Italy's FTSE MIB (NYSEARCA:EWI) by 1.5%. Elsewhere in Europe, Germany (NYSEARCA:EWG) is down 1.5% and France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) is down 1.7%. FEZ -2.2%, GREK -4.1%, NBG -7%

Jun. 9, 2015, 10:57 AM
- A "close your eyes and buy moment" is approaching for recently-battered Europe, says BAML's London-based macro and events group, which would like to see four issues resolved over the coming two weeks before jumping in:
- 1) U.S. data has started to improve, making Thursday's retail sales number an especially important one for the direction of interest rates; 2) Bond volatility could be set to decline, especially given the light issuance schedule in July; 3) A last-minute agreement on Greece is BAML's base case; 4) Retail outflows and heavy supply volumes could lead to a final capitulation leg down in U.S. and global stocks.
- What to buy? Financial stocks continue to be a favorite for the team, with goings-on in Greece preventing the long-only community from accumulating the banks. The MSCI Europe Financial ETF (NASDAQ:EUFN) is up 7.1% YTD.

- Apparently they've got whisper numbers at the ECB as Mario Draghi says Europe's economic recovery is on track with the bank's projections, but that the bank was hoping for something stronger than its forecasts.
- Webcast
- As for the recent strong read on core CPI, Draghi says the ECB is more concerned with trends and will look through near-term fluctuations. The bank did hike its 2015 inflation forecast to 0.3% from flat, but 2016 is unchanged at 1.5% and 2017 is unchanged at 1.8%.
- The GDP growth outlook for 2015 and 2016 is unchanged at 1.5% and 1.9%, respectively, while 2017 is trimmed to 2% from 2.1% (there's that economist sense of humor).
- The euro (NYSEARCA:FXE) is active, but currently lower by just 0.2% to $1.1135.
- European stocks (NYSEARCA:FEZ) have added to earlier gains, with Germany (NYSEARCA:EWG) and France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) leading the way, both ahead by 1.35%.

- Athens (GREK, NBG) is leading the way with a 3.6% gain. Italy (NYSEARCA:EWI) is higher by 1.9%, France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) by 1.7%, Spain (NYSEARCA:EWP) by 1.6%, Germany (NYSEARCA:EWG) by 1.1%. The Stoxx 50 (NYSEARCA:FEZ) is ahead by 1.2%.

May 19, 2015, 11:57 AM
- It was only this morning when the rest of the world found out what those at an invitation-only conference in London learned last night - that the ECB will front-load its QE program.
- ECB member Benoit Coeure spoke at the conference - organized by the Brevan Howard Centre for Financial Analysis, and featuring senior officials from at least five central banks - but his speech wasn't released to the general public until this morning.
- European interest rates and the euro (FXE -1.4%) are headed south today, while European equities soar.
- The Stoxx 50's (NYSEARCA:FEZ) 2% gain is being led by Germany (NYSEARCA:EWG) +2.2%, Italy (NYSEARCA:EWI) +2.2%, France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) +2.1%, and Spain (NYSEARCA:EWP) +1.4%.

- The one-way street higher in European equities hits a detour, as the Stoxx 50 (NYSEARCA:FEZ) slides 2.7%, led by Germany's (NYSEARCA:EWG) 3.2% tumble.
- The selloff came as the euro and European bond yields surged higher.
- Italy (NYSEARCA:EWI) -2.3%, Spain (NYSEARCA:EWP) -2%, France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) -2.6%, U.K. (NYSEARCA:EWU) -1.2%.

Apr. 24, 2015, 2:55 PM
- Investors have rushed $13B into WisdomTree's (NASDAQ:WETF) Europe Hedged Equity ETF (NYSEARCA:HEDJ) this year, bringing AUM to $20B, and making it 2015's most popular ETF, the largest Europe ETF out there, and the largest currency-hedged ETF, according to Ned Davis Research.
- The fund is also ahead 30% YTD - not too shabby. However, says NDR, all of the gains have come from the euro's depreciation. A strategy of buying the MSCI EMU Index (NYSEARCA:EZU) and shorting the euro would have returned 70% over the same period. In other words - amid a nice bull move in Europe - HEDJ's strategy of owning exporters, which should theoretically gain as the euro slides, hasn't worked (the fund must own mega-cap stocks deriving more than 50% of revenue from outside Europe).
- What gives? First, Europe's exporters have been hit by exposure to struggling LatAm countries. Second, the companies in the HEDJ already hedge currency exposure, booking it as an expense. Finally, the valuation of stocks in HEDJ trade at a 52% premium to a broad MSCI eurozone index.

- All the headlines say it's worry over Greece, but Europe was doing just fine in morning action until news hit about a big expansion in short-selling in China (after markets in China had closed for the session). Chinese futures have subsequently tumbled, and any China ETFs trading in the premarket are sharply lower despite gains in Shanghai overnight.
- Germany (NYSEARCA:EWG) -1.7%, France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) -1.2%, Italy (NYSEARCA:EWI) -1.8%, Spain (NYSEARCA:EWP) -1.8%, U.K. (NYSEARCA:EWU) -0.75%. Stocks in Athens (NYSEARCA:GREK) are lower by 0.9%.

- European stocks track gains on Wall Street following positive German trade data this morning and yesterday's release of the FOMC minutes, which provided little clarity on when the Fed might hike rates but was deemed as sufficiently dovish.
- Reports that Greece has paid - or will pay today - a €450M loan tranche to the IMF is also adding to the positive sentiment. "The news on Greece is helping push European markets higher, although it doesn't mean at all that a long-term solution has been reached," says market analyst Alexandre Baradez of IG France.

- The eurozone services PMI rose to 54.2 (flash 54.3) in March from 53.7 in February.
- Composite PMI increased to an 11-month high of 54 (flash 54.1) from 53.3. (PR)
- German services PMI grew to 55.4 from 54.7; composite PMI 55.4 vs 53.8. (PR)
- French services PMI slowed to 52.4 from 53.4 and composite PMI to 51.5 from 52.2. (PR)
- "Ireland and Spain continued to lead the charge, backed up by a fast-improving German economy," says Markit, but "rates of expansion in Italy and France were modest in comparison."
- While "the PMIs are indicating somewhat sluggish GDP growth of 0.3% for the first quarter," says Markit, "the pace of expansion looks set to gather pace in coming months."
- However, "an ongoing recovery is no one-way bet," Markit warns, "with the Greek crisis remaining a critical threat to stability in the region."
- The euro takes a dive and is -0.1% at $1.0906.

- The WisdomTree Europe Hedged Equity ETF (HEDJ +1.2%) has been a popular target for investor dollars this year - gathering $10B of assets while rising 16.6%.
- S&P Capital IQ's Todd Rosenbluth is as bearish on the euro as the next guy, but he suggests some of the fund's most heavily-weighted holdings are expensive, particularly consumer staples, which account for 23% of the ETF's assets. In fact, says Rosenbluth, the three largest consumer staples stocks in HEDJ - Anheuser-Busch, Unilever, and L'Oreal - are all rated Sell by S&P Capital IQ.
- Now all three of these names are in other European ETFs - including currency-hedged ones like HEZU and EZU - but not in such a high concentration.
- Rosenbluth: "We think investors need to be careful when reviewing European ETFs and understanding not just whether they are hedged."

- European equity funds took in another $6B of inflows in the week ended March 25, according to EPFR Global, while Japanese funds brought in $2B.
- U.S. equity funds, meanwhile, saw outflows of $8B, with Q1 earnings season about on tap, and as investors handicap the timing of the first Fed rate hike (vs. easing in Europe and Japan).

- Now up 17% YTD, the Stoxx Europe 600 this week had its highest close since 2000, and is just 1% shy of its all-time high hit in March 2000.
- The big move has early-year bulls like Goldman Sachs and Citigroup scrambling to lift their year-end targets.
- "There's something much more sustainable here," says a strategist in London. "Sentiment was bearish in the eurozone for a long, long time. It's just starting to change." Indeed. Recent BAML fund manager surveys show bullishness on European stocks has reached uncharted territory.

- The BAML Fund Manager Survey finds 19% are now underweight U.S. stocks, the highest proportion since early 2008, and almost 25% said U.S. stocks are overvalued - the highest proportion in 15 years.
- Money is instead flowing into eurozone and Japanese equities. "Bullishness towards European stocks has reached uncharted territory," says Michael Hartnett, who last month said there wasn't "a single bear left" on European stocks.

The Gherkin overlooks The Tower of London
A pub near the Tower of London (The Hung Drawn & Quartered), describes a Tower of London function when it was still functioning as a prison. One of its most famous prisoners was Guy Fawkes (April 13th 1570 - 31 Jan 1606), who conspirated to blow up Westminster Parliament and was caught red handed trying to light up the explosives. Guy actually avoided the full meaning of the awfull punishment of being Hung, Drawned and Quartered (You get hung until your almost dead, then drawned until almost dead and finally you get quartered... and there's no "almost dead" in that one). Its Thanks to Guy Fawkes that the name "Guy" is also used as a way to describe a man, a person. Guy Fawkes is also known as "Guido Fawkes", the name he was known by when fighting in Spain.

Nelson column in Trafalgar Square - The name commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar (1805), a British naval victory of the Napoleonic Wars. Nelson's Column is in the centre of the square, surrounded by fountains designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1939 (replacing two earlier fountains of Peterhead granite, now at the Wascana Centre and Confederation Park in Canada) and four huge bronze lions sculpted by Sir Edwin Landseer; the metal used is said to have been recycled from the cannon of the French fleet. The column is topped by a statue of Horatio Nelson, the admiral who commanded the British Fleet at Trafalgar.

I defy anyone to tell me what this story is about. Best I can figure, she-male Julie Bond is some kind of state department operative who was assigned to Singapore, and is now back in the states. And along the way has had a thing going with a guy named Gable (Cameron Kelly). But it seems like everybody has had a thing going with Gable – guys, girls and what-nots. Woven into this muddled figure-out what's going on-by-phone-conversations-story is a mixed bag of sex – literally. In one scene a guy named Robert (Tony Davis) asks Roberto Arias: "Sergio, tell me you want to fuck me in Portuguese." I listened intently. You never know when you're going to be in Portugal.

I guess I have an obscene amount of knowledge about a friend's life. Like I know she and her husband are starting to try for their second child this month. I also know she doesn't feel ready.
She is in her mid-30s and her husband is in his late 30s. They have a son that turned two in August. They both work full-time. Even though she and her husband are 7-10 years older than my husband and myself, I kind of watch them as our "next step."
This whole "not ready" thing is sticking in my mind, I guess, because my first pregnancy was unplanned so I definitely didn't feel ready. Now, many people that I had their first when I had my son are moving on to a second pregnancy. I feel....I don't know...left out? I know I am not going to be ready to have another baby for a while, and maybe never, now that I know how hard having a child is. I'm not even sure that I would know what ready looks like.
I know this is kind of a weird rambling post. I guess I am feeling weird and rambling.

Regional Bedrock Types
Due to ancient folding of the crust beneath Vermont, most of the state's bedrock lies in north-south strips, with the schists, graywackes, and conglomerates that underlie most of Jericho common throughout the Green Mountains. To the west sits a larger variety of bedrock types.

I am trying to change the permalink of a page I created.
I want the permalink for http://mysite.com/page1 to be http://mysite.com/sometext/page1
The problem is the the forward slash between sometext and page1 is not being saved when I attempt to edit the permalink while editing the page in WP.
I've tried many times and WP refuses to let me put in another forward slash.
Why is this and how can I fix it?
