In the lab, we use genetic, cellular, and behavioral techniques to dissect animal physiology and aging.
The lab is interested in understanding the behavioral and cellular adaptations an organism makes in response to environmental challenges, such as stress. Our environmental surroundings are filled with factors such as toxins, pathogens, temperature changes, disease states, and other challenges that can alter animal physiology and behavior. An animal must respond and adapt to these environmental challenges to survive. Our lab uses the model organism C. elegans, a roundworm. In particular, we are interested cellular signaling pathways that coordinate the response system in the animal, and how these responses change with age. The interactions of our tissues (neuron, muscle, skin, intestine in worms) in response to environmental factors will be explored. Because C. elegans can be studied genetically, cellularly, and behaviorally with fast and manageable methodology, the experiments using worms will help us understand how other animals learn and make the appropriate adaptations to the environment.

How real time mobile AR is becoming possible
Augmented reality works best at your desktop. There's a good reason for this. Most of the AR trickery you will have seen is where you hold up a black and white printed square marker so that your computer's webcam can see it. The software application then recognises that pattern and generates a virtual animation on your screen on top of the real world background. Hey presto, AR magic.
The trouble, of course, is that most objects and scenes out there that we would like to augmented with added information don't have any markers on. In fact, just about none of them do. So, how are we ever going to get AR going in any useful, consumer way?
Currently, what we're getting in mobile augmented reality apps like Layar, Wikitude, Junaio and the other usual suspects is a run around. Essentially, these apps are blind. They can't see anything that you see through your phone's camera. Instead, they get your locality from the GPS satellite system, which is up to 9m wrong, then the direction you're facing according to the digital compass, gyros and accelerometers in your handset, which are not as accurate as they could be, and cross references all of that with an information database on the Internet that tells it what should be in front of you. Small wonder why it doesn't work very well.
There is, however, an area of research called computer vision which is having a very good stab at getting over this. Georg Klein is one of the top minds in this field when it comes to augmented reality, so it didn't take much of our grey matter to decide to give him a call over in the west coast of America where he's traded in the life of an Oxbridge post-grad for putting his expertise to practical use for Mircosoft.
"The problems of AR are all about adding stuff to the scene if you don't know what it is you're going to add to," he explains as phones ring in the background.
"There are three kinds of tracking for augmented reality."
"The problems of AR are all about adding stuff to the scene if you don't know what it is you're going to add to," he explains as phones ring in the background.
"There are three kinds of tracking for augmented reality."
Tracking is the name given to an AR application's attempts to recognise and follow the physical objects of a scene.
"There's marker-based tracking which is what the likes of the ARToolKit looks for through you computer webcam. It asks for that specific shape to be recognised. It's limited but idiot proof.
"Next is known texture or pattern recognition where the software might look for a magazine page, CD cover, Lego box, something known. It's trained to recognise that thing very quickly. It's used commercially but it must work on geometry that's known in advance.
"Finally, there's what I do but it's quite tricky. In fact, it's so tricky that it's not yet at the level where anyone can really use it. I can use it. I can show people a few things and get them to use it, but it's no good if I put the technology out there and hope for the best."
What Georg has come up with is a camera tracking system for augmented reality which is able to model the physical shapes, lines and depth of an environment on the fly. It's something he calls PTAM - Parallel Tracking and Mapping - and it requires no markers, no pre-maps, known templates and not even any of your mobile device's inertial sensors either.
"It's based on SLAM which is a system of Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping that's huge in robotics. It's so people's little creations can go anywhere without getting stuck in a corner. We adapted the SLAM algorithms to work for AR."
PTAM is freely available to download and use but, as Klein himself says, it's not ready yet. Tracking is fundamentally and mathematically difficult. The world is three dimensional but AR only offers a flat projection of that to work with. Interestingly enough, this is why SLAM appears to work better with stereoscopic camera set ups or something like the Microsoft Kinect which has 3D depth sensor technology as well, although Klein assures us that this isn't what he's working on for Microsoft.
So once, the software's been cleaned up and anyone can use it, does that mean that the issue of tracking in AR will finally have been solved? As one might expect, sadly, the answer is no, or at least not quite, anyway.
"General all singing, all dancing tracking is still a long way off. If you look at my demonstrations, yes, they look good but actually the graphics have very little to do with what's going on in the real part of the scene. They recognise a surface and run around on it but they don't know much about anything else or the context of that they're doing. My little Darth Vader guy might run behind a coffee cup but he has no knowledge of what that object is or what relevance it has.
"Also, for perfect AR, it's not enough to know where the camera is. Even if that is solved, then what about what's around the camera?"
So, while content may still be king, it seems that context is queen and, as Klein admits, there are other systems that need to be at work alongside something like PTAM in order for the picture to be complete and for computer vision to fully understand all it sees and what is going on.
On a basic level, an object recognition technology would be a start so that mini-Darth might actually be able interact with that coffee cup by understanding what its purpose is and what it does. Of course, that would require a super-fast and reliable connection to a database of knowledge of items most likely housed on the Internet. A fully street level mapped copy of the Earth would also be a help.
As big a job as it sounds, nonetheless it's the solution most likely, and with PTAM now re-written for the iPhone, events are well and truly underway. But, in the mean time, what AR apps does Klein himself recommend?
"Actually, I don't really use them. I'm not that big on new technologies," he jokes before revealing his reasons why.
"There's a lot of current attention about gimmicky phone apps. They're all fun and can be useful but the original intents of augmented reality were medical, maintenance, even military. They weren't about getting your phone out to find how many stars some restaurant has got. They were useful overlays for specific tasks. Something went wrong somewhere.
"HMDs (head-mounted displays) were meant to be the evolution of AR but people have stopped working on them. Thankfully, it looks like they're coming to the idea that phone displays might not be good enough or convenient enough whereas a comfortable, lightweight, HMD could be the solution. AR might only really take off when those are developed but there's a funding gap at the moment. None of the big companies are really investing in them."
As Klein quite rightly points out, the companies sponsoring and setting up research centres on augmented reality are those with a vested interest in mobile, with the likes of Qualcomm and Nokia leading the pack - a good reason why the HMD has fallen by the wayside for the time being.
"AR glasses would be great and I hope they arrive. If they work properly, they seem unambiguously useful. They require the technology to be mature and flawless and there is going to be a UI problem. How do you interact with them? There's nothing very natural at the moment."
Some suggestions have been with added devices such as wristbands that offer haptic feedback or special gloves that the glasses can recognise but none are as seamless as people want and need such a system to be.
"Still, phones are very good so far," Klein acknowledges, "they''re just not as immersive."
"The thing is, you have to ask yourself with all these GPS AR apps - are they any more useful than a top down map? They're going to get better and it's up to the user to decide when they reach that point that they really are an improvement on the standard versions."

I think once my TU credit score increases from the CC payment I will apply for WALMART again. They didnt check equifax only TU and experian. I just looked at both. Not sure what is taking so long for TU to update my payment the last time it was reported was on the 8th. My scores will be higher, a lot higher. And instead of having 6 collections I have 3.
I am adding this:
Tranunion back in August was 600 - It is now 604 but I am waiting for the score jump from paying my 297 balance on my CC to 60.00. It should have reported on the 8th.
My Experian according to credit sesame was 570 at the time and now that one is 633. So it went up.
Starting Score: August Equifax 558 TU 600 EX 570
Current Score: Equifax FICO 642 TU FICO662 EX 651 (credit.com) 06/21/2013

Sorry, this might be asked a lot of times, I'm new to WP, How do I create a signature at the bottom of each post?
Sorry, this might be asked a lot of times, I'm new to WP, How do I create a signature at the bottom of each post?
You could just write it into your code via the index.php and single.php
Look for the the <?php the_content(); ?> call and place whatever signature you would like, after that.
For example:
<?php the_content(); ?>

 My signature here

The style it using the .sig class in your CSS.
By using this code '
 aLyas2022
' it will display the same signature : "aLyas2022" in all posts, even thous wroten by another user !
Can i change the "aLyas2022" in the code by a function or something like the_user() so its the name of the auteurs which going to be displayed ?
Sorry, you did not mention that you will have more than one author.
Instead then, you could use the
<?php the_author_description(); ?> function in this case. It needs to be setup in each user's profile, but the content could be used as the signature.
For more information on the above template tag, take a look at http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_author_description
Sorry for that, but where do I put "<?php the_author_description(); ?>"? where is Index.php?
I'm a little new to WP, sorry
I am not sure what theme you are using, but generally you should be able to see something like this in your index.php and single.php files in your theme directory.
<?php the_content(__('continued...')); ?>
I would add the following code below this

<?php the_author_description(); ?>

and then style the sig as suggested above, via your CSS.

What Obama Said: The Optimist's Translation
The President's staff reportedly feels that the President's statement was straightforward and that all the speculation is fascinating. But for those optimists among us who want to believe President Obama is finally ready to tackle the climate issue, it sounded as though some very important precedents might be taking shape in the White House.
Here's what the President said:
Allowing the Keystone pipeline to be built requires a finding that doing so would be in our nation's interest. And our national interest will be served only if this project does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution. The net effects of the pipeline's impact on our climate will be absolutely critical to determining whether this project is allowed to go forward.
Here is what we might read between the lines:
Carbon pollution is now a threshold issue. The President's criteria for Keystone focused solely on the climate problem. President Obama has often said that the national climate conversation cannot ignore jobs and the economy. But his speech wasn't about jobs or North American energy independence or our relations with our neighbor to the North. It sounded as though climate change has become the dominant concern — a pass/fail test — in decisions that have carbon impacts. Given the sweeping implications of climate disruption, that's exactly as it should be.
The Administration is "doing the math." In their separate assessments of the pipeline's environmental impacts, the State Department and the Environmental Protection Agency both used life-cycle costs. EPA advised State to go even farther by including the social costs of carbon in its impact assessment.
That's important for three reasons. First, it demonstrates that the Administration recognizes its decisions should be based on carbon impacts far beyond the United States. Second, its assessment of carbon impacts involves not only the pipeline, but also the well-to-weather impacts of the oil it would carry. That presumably includes the carbon intensity of how the oil is extracted and processed in Canada, the carbon pollution that would be created wherever the oil is burned, and the consequences of destroying part of Canada's boreal forest, one of the most important carbon sinks in the world.
The third reason the Administration's methodology is important is that the social cost of carbon analysis counts things we haven't counted in the past, such as agricultural productivity, human health, and property damages from the increased risks of extreme weather.
The Administration's use of these analyses shows it understands that greenhouse gas emissions don't recognize borders, that anyone's pollution is everyone's problem, and that carbon emissions have widespread, multifaceted consequences that must be included in benefit-cost analyses of public policy decisions.
Tar sands oil is not inevitable. The dominant ethic of the carbon age has been simple: If a resource exists, we must find a way to use it. The State Department assumed that ethic would prevail — that if the Keystone pipeline weren't approved, Canada would find other ways to get the oil to market. Based on that assumption, State concluded that the environmental impacts of Keystone didn't count because they would occur no matter what the Administration decided.
To his credit, the President gave no legitimacy to this argument. Perhaps he has concluded that no matter how Canada responds to the rejection of Keystone, the United States should not be an accessory to the production and sale of this especially carbon-intensive fuel.
As the State Department finishes its analyses of Keystone's impact, it should assume that Canada's alternatives to the pipeline are by no means certain. While the President has no authority over what happens in Canada, the Canadian people do. British Columbia's recent rejection of a proposed pipeline through its territory signaled that finding options to move the oil might not be easy. In fact, the Obama Administration's rejection of Keystone could encourage more opposition to taking tar sands oil to market.
The global interest is the national interest. The President's national-interest test has several dimensions, ranging from the selfish to the moral. The selfish dimension has to do with the world's "carbon budget" calculated by climate scientists and made famous by Bill McKibben: If we want to avoid catastrophic climate disruption, we'll have to leave 80 percent of the world's proven fossil fuel reserves in the ground.
President Obama will have to figure out what the diminishing carbon budget means for his all-of-the-above energy policy and for the prospect of the United States becoming the world's leading oil producer in the next few years. What's already clear is that Canada's production of carbon-rich oil would reduce the amount of fossil energy the United States and other nations could produce within the budget. If we believe that domestic oil and gas will remain important to our economy for the foreseeable future, then helping Canada hog the carbon budget is not in our national interest.
Touching on the moral dimension, the President said, "The final part of our [climate] plan calls on America to lead — lead international efforts to combat a changing climate. And make no mistake — the world still looks to America to lead."
What the world is looking for is an America that has the political courage and moral authority to lead. Neither can be found in Congress, where there are more climate skeptics, deniers and sell-outs than the entire membership of the U.S. Senate. Our contemporary Congress has become the branch of government where moral leadership and political courage go to die.
As Obama recognizes, leadership must come from him and his Administration. His decision on the Keystone pipeline is a highly visible and symbolic example of how he will use his executive authority. Approving the pipeline would signal business as usual in America. We'd be Canada's mule, moving its drug to market. Deciding not to permit the pipeline would show that when it comes to carbon emissions, Obama's "all of the above" energy policy does not mean "anything goes". It would show that in the interest of abating climate disruption, a "yes we can" President is willing to say "no you can't", even to one of its allies.
In sum, those of us whose hopes have been reignited that President Obama will fight the climate fight are inclined to interpret the tea leaves this way: carbon emissions are now a pass-fail test in the Administration; the Administration is doing the math made necessary by the world's carbon budget; the President intends to do what's right for the future of the global community rather than what the current Canadian government believes is right for Canada; and Obama may yet emerge as a leader for the Anthropocene era.
Maybe the Keystone project will force our political leaders to confront questions we should have confronted long ago. What are the limits of sovereignty in the age of climate change? What legal and moral obligations do nations have to protect the atmospheric commons for future generations? How should those obligations be enforced? When should carbon-cutting trump free trade? When will industrialized nations accept that whatever remains of the carbon budget, developing countries deserve most of it? When will the American people elect a Congress that believes "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" are intergenerational rights, not the privileges of one generation at the expense of those to come?
White House staffers may believe we're overthinking the speech, and they're probably correct. Nevertheless, it's tempting to conclude that President Obama understands that finding answers to questions like these will be the most important part of his legacy, and time is running out.

48 Responses to What Obama Said: The Optimist's Translation
Bill — here's hoping you're right. But if you read the EIS, they've essentially already made the finding the President says we must make.
To understand what Attorney Obama said, think like an attorney. Don't be a starry-eyed groupie who hears what they want to hear. Here is that quote from Lawyer Obama again:
"Allowing the Keystone pipeline to be built requires a finding that doing so would be in our nation's interest. And our national interest will be served only if this __________________ does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution. The net effects of the ______________'s impact on our climate will be absolutely critical to determining whether this (pipeline) is allowed to go forward."
Meaning #1 (what we want to hear): Read it by filling in the blanks with "TAR SANDS OIL"
Meaning #2 (what he actually said): Read it by filling in the blanks with "PIPELINE".
Don't be snookered by lawyerish wordsmithing! Obama has never publicly questioned the wisdom of 100% extraction of all tar sands oil.
Moreover, if you were starry eyed by his big speech, please tell me what how he has used his bully pulpit, or the cameras, since?
I still say the speech was a bone to those considering working for democratic campaigns or donating to candidates in the mid term election, and little more. God, I'd love to be wrong!
The fact that British Columbia, one of Canada's own provinces, has already gone on record as opposing any western pipeline route, should make this an easy decision for State.
OTOH, Canadians are buzzing about the terrible oil spill / explosion this weekend, reminded that this could happen in ANY town with rail services.
I live near a railroad line in western MN & have personally witnessed at least a 500% increase in oil being shipped by rail.
Canada my soon have access to yet another shorter route to the world that is within their hands alone. The Arctic is becoming ice free for longer periods and the digging will be easier than across the the mountains. There is perma-frost to contend with but that has been manageable as proven by the AK pipeline. (At least for the present.)
An easy wager is everyone responding here knows more about climate change than I do. As an average and very concerned citizen, what can I do to help President Obama buck up and not back down on this? That is, if there is any substance behind the lawyer speak Mark E so carefully pointed out? If I am reading Mark's post correctly, I share the lack of faith in this President to stand up let alone lead on this.
You are obviously correct. And, on 5 March, the Chinese Premier described his energy policy (http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/service/2012-03/16/c_131471585_10.htm). My interpretation: all of the above.
"what can I do to help President Obama buck up". The main, and perhaps only, thing any of us can do is to help organize a sufficiently strong majority that he has no choice but to accede to the wishes of the people. But, it has to be an activist majority, willing to do whatever is necessary to see strong actions taken.
Note that I said this post was the optimist's interpretation. Unless President Obama decides to leave this decision for his successor, I guess we'll see whether optimism was warranted. Let's hope so.
The rate of tar sands development will be determined by economics. KXL would increase the price/bbl of bitumen considerably, due to supply/demand considerations. Rejecting KXL would, in the worst case, delay tar sands development until alternative routes to market can be found. In the best case, rejecting KXL would be part of a cascade of events that deal a mortal blow to many tar sands projects. The case for saying that KXL will not increase carbon pollution is very thin, and getting thinner; it requires making a series of unreasonable assumptions that ignore reality.
Bill, thanks for your post- thorough and fair, as usual. I don't think Obama will approve Keystone, or his words in that speech meant nothing.
It's a long way from this to taking serious action on global warming, though. As long as we're still drilling away for all of the oil and gas we can find, and burning it as fast as we can, nothing will change. Obama has shown little inclination to slow down our consumption of fossil fuels, an unwise and very deadly position.
I think regardless of what he decides about Keystone, Obama is serious about climate change (although not to point of trying to stay below 2C which we probably thinks is no longer feasible). I don't know how else to interpret his recent statements calling for action and calling it a moral issue and the fact that he is going to get the EPA to write regulations for emissions from power plants. His all of the above policy doesn't mean to use up entirely all the sources of fossil fuels, it means to use all types of fossil fuels as well as nuclear, solar, wind, hydro, etc. The tar sands is just one source of oil. It has to be put in the context of all fossil fuels. It is possible to use them but only on a limited basis or we will wind up at 6C and higher. I think Obama wants to set limits on emissions from fossil fuels as well as other sources of greenhouse gaes by getting an agreement at the upcoming international climate conference in 2015.
(1) Team up with professional-looking and professional-sounding business people who are also alarmed about climate;
(2) As a unit, offer to work and/or donate to democratic candidates in the midterm elections who talk climate as one of their top 3 themes, and urge those people to get Obama to "buck up".
(3) Fear not to threaten – and follow through – to instead donate/work for the Greens, even if that means splitting the DEM ticket, because there is not a single plank in the DEM platform that will matter in 50-100 years if we fail to tame climate. A DEM who fails on climate today will be rued tomorrow, even if they are strong on every other DEM issue. Would anyone today care about women sufferage back in the early 1900s, if Hitler had won WWII? Nope!
Founding Father Patrick Henry to the DEMs:
"Give me CLIMATE ACTION or give me the GREEN PARTY!"
Because there is not a single contemporary issue on the DEM agenda my kids will later give a rats behind about if we keep doing little on climate.
Anticipating backlash about how much worse the GOP would be….. that's fatal thinking folks. Bold action flows from those who courageously embrace truth and say what needs to be said. Remember what Gandalf said to Erestor at the Council of Elrond?
About his speech…. a single uttering of wonderful words is…….
so quickly forgotten.
Did he mean it? Well, what's he said since? Is this really such a stirring moral issue? Then why isn't he adding a paragraph about it, each time he appears before a camera, instead of making one feelgood speech and then going largely dark (yet again)?
I only promised to cheer Obama's speech after he demonstrated continued speaking in the days after.
And…… still waiting.
"Obama is serious about climate change". What are your metrics for evaluating his level of seriousness; what are your evaluation criteria? Given the recent Nature paper showing we need twice the CO2 emissions reductions as those based on temperature considerations alone (i.e., we need 20%/annum global emissions reduction instead of 10% to stay within 2 C), what is Obama DOING to try and meet these goals?
The promised coal plant regs are a large drop in the bucket. But it's a really really BIG bucket…. and it's hard to fill those with promises.
Or, "Give me CLIMATE ACTION or give me the JUSTICE PARTY!" http://www.justicepartyusa.org/
I said that I didn't think his goal was to stay below 2C even though that remains the agreed on goal. As former chair of the IPCC Bob Watson said last year, 2C is largely "out the window." I think the IPCC report next year on mitigation will clarify Obama's thinking and that of other leaders about a specific goal.
"…and also give us Instant Runoff Voting…" (at least in local elections)
Obama has too many other issues to deal with to meet your criteria. Egypt, Syria, a 7.6% unemployment rate, immigration reform, gun control, etc. He set in motion a number of actions to deal with climate change and the US is involved in international negotiations on climate change several times a year. He recently made an agreement with China on limiting HFCs, which are greenhouse gases.
BobbyL, "I didn't think his goal was to stay below 2C". How can someone be 'serious' about climate change and not have a goal of staying below 2 C? That's the Extremely Dangerous region; would you enter an Extremely Dangerous building? Maybe you need to define the context of your use of 'serious'.
*NONE* of which will matter in 2060 when harvests in the Nile and Mekong deltas meet only 30% of need due to salt water intrusion, and we have climate refugees right here in our own country.
If he doesn't SAY it's a problem every day, why should the average American, blinkered by their shifting baselines, THINK it's a problem every day? Does the guy have a bully pulpit or not?
"President Obama will have to figure out what the diminishing carbon budget means for his all-of-the-above energy policy and for the prospect of the United States becoming the world's leading oil producer in the next few years."
Not in the next few years. 'All of the above' must end in the next few months, or it will probably be too late, in practical terms.
2013: The Year of Climate Decision
I'm hoping you're correct in this analysis, Mr. Becker. State's first report on the issue of carbon impacts was less than inspiring. However, let's hope Obama is turning the corner on this most key of issues.
A politician who is serious about climate change might conclude that staying under 2C is very likely no longer possible given the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the rate that it is being emitted globally, and the messy global politics of climate change and therefore choose a goal above 2C knowing that the results might be catastrophic but also knowing that failure to get a global agreement by pressing uncompromisingly for reductions that are unacceptable to most countries could result in consequences that are far more catastrophic. Actually, I would say any goal of staying under 5C should be considered as serious. I believe that many climate scientists think that we must stay under 5C at all costs.
It all hinges on how they do the "netting." ("The net effects of the pipeline's impact on our climate will be absolutely critical to determining whether this project is allowed to go forward.")
I think the US is likely to cut some deal with Canada that allows KXL if Canada creates some massive offset (like a gigantic boreal reserve) or a collection of activities that can be construed as carbon-reducing.
Of course, I would prefer Obama do the inverse: cut a deal with the Canadians so that DON'T have to build this thing.
I would be interested to hear/read more impressions from Canadians. How would you feel if KXL is stopped at the US border?
I agree with the above comment that the train wreck in Lac-Megantic is going to drive a lot of people to say, "pipelines are safer." Which is true insofar as you accept that the whole tar sands enterprise should be undertaken at all. But mining and processing the tar is reckless, from a long-term human survival standpoint.
It was a good speech but he has to back it up with immediate action.
He has to become our true Commander In Chief.
He has to mobilize the country to stop accelerating climate change at wartime speed.
We must achieve rapid emissions reductions to near zero as fast as possible without the typical economic and other restraints used as excuses for not doing this since literally everything depends on this.
Climate change will likely be still accelerating after emissions have been greatly reduced and he must:
Create a vast array of resources to slow and ultimately stop runaway accelerating climate change.
Create a vast array of resources addressing all problems caused by climate change.
Create a vast array of resources to start restoration of our planetary home.
We are in extreme danger and action on this scale must be done.
To repeat:
We are in extreme danger.
So far, looks like
"2013, the year of one climate speech"
BobbyL, "Actually, I would say any goal of staying under 5C should be considered as serious." We need to have a glossary for this site, where words like 'serious', 'painful', 'sacrifice', et al are defined. We are obviously talking different languages here. 5 C is not only over the cliff, it is at the bottom of the abyss!
"'All of the above' must end in the next few months". What are the odds of that happening?
Obama's modus operandi is well-known by now, after five glorious years. Lots of Big Talk, lofty rhetoric, platitudes and truisms, to get the Obamatons' Hope juices flowing yet again. Then, silence. A few good gestures, little bits of good work, but only if they do not impinge on business interests and prerogatives, like crumbs from the table. Slim pickin's. But big action, the general assault on human emissions of greenhouse gases that is utterly imperative-not so much. I believe that if this ghastly impasse was really primarily the result of intense opposition by the Reptilicans, and Beelzebub knows, there has been plenty of that, then an Obama who really was determined to succeed in this 'moral' cause would use that intransigence to attack the Right head on, particularly as opinion polls say that he has a handy majority who believe in climate destabilisation, ready to be inspired. But he never does that, does he? He is either unbelievably cowardly, afraid of what it is hard to determine, or he is playing a game, acting a role, and he does not want to and has never intended to interfere with the fossil fuel interests, who, after all, are the very centre of the capitalist superstructure that rules the USA, and that appoints all US Presidents (then has their choice rubber-stamped in sham elections).
Arrange for Obama to have a back-bone implant.
Exactly! That's the Obama Method. A grand rhetorical flourish, once a year or so, to get the Hope Dopes believing again, then silence. A really moral position that really is cognisant of the extreme peril into which we are heading would require reiteration of these truths week after week, and determined efforts to rally the populace. To fail in this effort would be tragic, but it would be morally correct, possibly even noble. To not really try is bad enough, but to feign effort, then passively submit to the Forces of Darkness- that is reprehensible.
Bobby, too enthusiastic shifting of the goalposts becomes simply silly. Talk of staying 'under 5 degrees Celsius' is simply rubbish. As Super points out, 'under 5 degrees' is equivalent to 'under six feet' in common parlance.
MM, "He is either unbelievably cowardly, afraid of what it is hard to determine, or he is playing a game," There is a third option; his views of those opinion polls you cite so glowingly are congruent with those of Superman1; they will not translate into support at election time, especially if real sacrifice is required.
Bill, while I appreciate your effort and thought in generating this article, you need to go beyond possibilities and optimism to give a sense of realism. What are the odds of these events happenings, and on which would you be willing to bet the mortgage?
He's not just giving occasional speeches. He's acting. For example, he is trying to regulate emissions from power plants. I think he would say more if Congress took up the issue but with a flat earth party holding the majority in the House nothing can happen. He did blow it in his first term but I think he deserves a little slack now that he has said that he is focusing on this issue. The Republicans are hoping to make political gains based on what Obama is doing. The invective should be addressed toward them. Obama is on our side.
Scientists aren't studying what would happen if we reach 4C or above for nothing. The reason they are devoting so many resources to this is that it appears very possible we will reach it. Many scientists feel it will we be a challenge to stay below 5C. When put put everything in a political context it is easy to see why. But activists should stick to the 2C goal (or lower for some) for now even though achieving it is extremely unlikely.
If he talked about climate change every day the media would eventually ignore covering it. They thrive on news, not repetition. In fact if the country heard it everyday most people would simply tune it out. I think the occasional announcement that is newsworthy has more impact.
Not if his team reads Joe's book, and then does intelligent messaging, making effective use of Obama on the scene of climate impacts, and asking members of the National Academy, standing next to him, to tell what's coming.
Where's his flip charts, showing the cost of mitigation today vs the cost tomorrow?
Where's his sexy flash video showing the climate impact on rising food costs?
Where's his interviews with GOP locals in regions that are going solar for financial reasons?
…. and where's your imagination?
… only if this project does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution.
I read this as an instruction to the EPA (or whoever) to find that:
"This project does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution."
No more elections to face (so free to be 'his own man'-only joking), and a problem, in any case, far, far, more vital than his remaining in office. And, as I said, no real effort to exhort the public to action.
There is not enough time for prevarication. If, as I strongly suspect, Obama does nothing meaningful in the rest of his term, and 'trying' to do something about coal-fired power while pushing fracking is less than nothing, then eight vital years will be down the sewer. Then there is the prospect of a Reptilican successor, made more likely by the disillusion of Hope Fiends less chronically credulous and ever hopefully expectant than yourself. As this is the most vital problem to ever face humanity, let alone a US President, and as the scientific community is to all intents and purposes unanimous in its gloomy prognostications, this is now a question of near-term extinction for humanity. In that case, and Obama must have been apprised of the increasing possibility of that ultimately horrific outcome, his record has been derisory. Of course, others might have been worse, (we'll never know)but that is no excuse for his lamentable failure.
'Promised' are they? Cross his heart and hope we don't all die, I suppose.
Absolutely! The cop-out clause here is so plain, so blatant in fact, that those who still manage to kid themselves that there is any question over how Obama will act (how, indeed, he was always going to act)really do deserve our sympathy.
I think he could do those things if there was serious legislation at stake but there isn't. It is hard to raise an issue when there is no legislation at stake and you have little power to act without Congress. Keep in mind that the climate change denying Republicans won the House in the last election (the people have spoken) and since Obama didn't even mention climate change in his campaign last year he has no mandate on this issue from the electorate. That has to limit him politically. I think you are simply engaging in wishful thinking.
Let's see what happens. I think you will be proven wrong. I believe that after the 2015 international climate meeting we will be able to make a full assessment of his accomplishments and failures. Also we will have the next four IPCC reports by then to better assess the situation, particularly with regard what is needed for mitigation.
Bobby, it has gone beyond mitigation. We need reversal, of carbon burning and pollution and of ecological destruction. We need the biggest human effort in history, thanks to twenty-five years of denialism and obstruction by the Right. Anything less is pointless.
That's like studying the death of Rasputin. Two degrees is the poisoning, three the shooting, four the strangulation and five the dumping in the icy river. Degrees of being well and truly stuffed. Five degrees means human extinction, the pace determining if it is near term or far. So far it looks pretty proximate.

Hi there hoping someone can help here:-
I've just upgraded to WP 3.01 and whilst the homepage of my site/admin/log-ins etc all display and operate correctly it's when I click on any link in my navigation that leads me to a blank page (white). It's only 'static' pages that have been affected not posts.
The links themselves are correct according to the pages links but even in the dashboard whilst the page info can be viewed all present and correct, you cannot view them when you click on the 'view page' link either.
All the plug-ins have been deleted/moved that had been installed post upgrade but that doesn't seem to have made any differece.
I'm guessing that it's something to do with the way the navigation is interacting (or not) with the database but am lost for the next step. Any advice greatly received.

|Other Excellent articles on CSD
Original Article[edit]
Name: Stretch Pelosi
Text: #Redirect Nancy Pelosi {{R to Nancy Pelosi}}
Nomination Criteria[edit]
G3 Pure vandalism. This includes blatant and obvious misinformation, and redirects created by cleanup from page-move vandalism.
Deletion Options[edit]
|Agree with ratioinale to speedy delete.
|Disagree with rationale. It's not vandalism, but deletable by other criteria
|Disagree with rationale. It's not vandalism, but this is a case where IAR applies.
|Disagree with speedy deletion, it is a used nickname, (should be PRODDED, sent to AFD, or kept.)
Survey Comments[edit]
|Common rationale
- would have to check the google hits to see if it is a plausible search term or an attack term
- Unless there is reason to believe that this name is being propegated to harass Nancy Pelosi or all the sources for the nickname are low quality, there's no reason not to have.
- Would validate to check my BLP concerns before deciding...
- if it's relevant, keep, if not delete. It's probably vandalism, but we don't know yet.
- UNLESS the article was *maliciously* moved to "Stretch Pelosi" and this redirect is the result of reverting that move. G10 arguably applies, but I would take it to RfD.
- Send it to a deletion discussion… if the article mentions the term then I would personally suggest that it be made a section redirect. Otherwise, I'd tend towards a weak delete for potential offensiveness.
- as long as those ghits existed at the time.. unlike VPILF ->Sarah Palin (we shouldn't be the SOURCE of such 'nicknames')
- But only if it's a purely derogatory nickname then G10, else leave it
- Redirect to Jargon of The Rush Limbaugh Show (which I believe Balloonman has worked on ;)possibly, but if I have only as minor edits.
- Check comment and if true and not disparaging, keep and move it to talk page or make it an html comment. If false delete as G3/obvious hoax. If true and disparaging delete as G10/attack.
- Nickname confirmed by reliable sources
- It is vandalism, but I'd delete under G10.
- Unless a look at some of those 3,000 google hits reveals that it is a common insuly name, in which case further coinsideration is warranted
Balloonman's analysis[edit]
This is a tough one. I honestly waffle on my thoughts here. There is little doubt that Nancy Pelosi has the nickname of "stretch pelosi." There is also little doubt that the nickname is used in a negative connotation. I would have no problem linking it to Jargon of The Rush Limbaugh Show if I knew that it came from Rush and was a term he used. But, linking it to Nancy's article? I think I have to side with people who vote G3 or G10.
That being said, this is probably controversial enough that it should really go to RfD for wider input. It is a term people might actually use.

Everything about him was vicious. His fighting, his fucking, his eating... Itachi noticed the last one when Leader-sama had Hidan and Kakuzu plundered a supplies caravan that was heading to the Sunagakure, their loot winding up to be lots of water, food, and clothing. The clothing had been given to Deidara, who immediately tore up half of it, resculpted it into something fashionable, then sold everything for a grand donation to Leader-sama's cause.
Itachi was more interested in the water and food - mainly water. He was getting tired of refiltered water he had to force down with a teaspoon of sugar or a lump of lemon in his glass to cover the chemical taste.
The food, on the other hand, was enjoyed by all. Dinner was somewhat less of a havoc after Zetsu's initial claim to the living survivors Hidan had all-too cheerfully deposited at the schizo's doorstep. Even Leader-sama had made an appearance with his fellow shadowy companion at the table. Itachi had fallen into the dusty use of table manners, even going so far as to relax the Sharingan in the evening.
Kisame, on the other hand, showed a side of him that only Itachi knew in bed from him - no one else was allowed the luxury of knowing how painfully sweet those teeth were when they were in one's skin. Itachi smiled to himself as he silently, secretly, observed everyone at the table.
Deidara ate like a teenager, alternating between stuffing his face and talking. Kakuzu was meticulous about his food, separating peas from meat and potatoes from salad. Hidan was odd as ever, stabbing his food to a near unrecognizable mush before devouring it. Itachi found Tobi interesting, the way his fork disappeared beneath his mask and reappeared empty. It was... cute.
Kisame, though... he devoured. He did not eat, more to the effect of inhaled. Itachi set a cool eye to his shark-skinned friend, watching as Kisame payed no attention to any of Deidara's banter or even the sound of Hidan demanding there be more salt on the table. Kisame was apparently either very hungry or he just didn't think... Itachi felt a tremor of arousal meander through his body. Alright, he thought, this was rediculous.
No man right in his mind would get turned on watching someone eat.
Kisame didn't notice, though, thankfully, grunting quietly as he wolfed down an entire leg of chicken sans bone in about ten seconds. He was even eating greens tonight, Itachi noticed, watching leaves of lettuce, coins of cucumber, snips of carrot and dices of celery disappear into that serrated mouth.
He stayed away from the tomatoes, though. Itachi smiled, thinking of someone who was opposite - one who liked tomatoes.
"Nngh, 'tachi-san, plz p's teh pepper."
Snapping out of his trance, Itachi managed to regain some semblance of the refined ninja he was, reaching over and handing Kisame the pepper. Kisame gulped down whatever poor piece of meat he had been knawing on before smiling at his friend. Itachi's mouth twitched slightly, giving Kisame the barest of hidden smiles before it was covered in the action of enjoying a piece of sushi.
Itachi knew Kisame could eat pretty much anything pushed his way, as well as any of the other Akatsuki. Except one meal that Kisame savored only on his own and Itachi was proud to know just what it was.
Itachi himself.
Itachi and Kisame - Thoughts by sleepyoldvampWatch
©2007-2016 sleepyoldvamp
I have no idea what brought this on. I think I was thinking about steak. Being stationed in a desolate place makes you think about all the good food you're missing and malnourishment that takes place.
But whatever. ItaKisa is sheer sharky love. ^_^
And Itachi will soon be having Kisame's baaaaaabies.
Kishimoto is the maaan

Very cute
What if we don't want kids?
love it
Aww Itachi-Sans drooling.
Nice job, I loved it and are you going to write anymore KISAita?
Thanks a lot for checking it out! And probably not, I haven't played in the fandom for quite a while. Maybe later though...
I love it, the teeth part kind of gave me the giggles. I'd love to read more on your take of their relationship. (ItaKisa ftw!) And it's very Itachi, to just sit back and observe. "T/_\T" Hee.
Im hungry now :3
steak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*drools over both the itakisa and the steak author's note*
XD I'd be eating like Diedara I liked it a lot. I really enjoy the Kisame Itachi pairing, although highly unlikely, I think it's still really cute ^.^
I eat like a shark crossed with a dog.Inhaleing everything on my plate then swollowing it all whole.My mom keeps telling me "There's this magical new invention called a fork.Use it"I simply shrug and keep nhaleing everything within reach.
haha this is really nice yaoi
Oh very sexy! I'm aroused now, thank you. Love this pairing.
I would be eating like Kakuzu, my brother like Deidara, my sister like Hidan and my cousins like Kisame XD
i would be eating like Deidara most the time, (how old is he anyway?) and if im really hungry i eat like kisame, if im pissed i eat like hidan.
even if i'm hungry i can't eat like kisame. I mean, he eats like a shark @_@
I'm more like a kitty o.o
I'm more like a kitty o.o
hai hai to that! go kittys! i always has a bell on. so im often calld kitty.
Yeah.... Who likes tomatos, I hate them.....
Tomatos........ Eeeewwww......
Tomatos........ Eeeewwww......
I found this story hillarious...I have recently thought about what Itachi and Kisame's child would look like, (if it was possible for two guys to get one).
NUUUU! i KNOW itachi-CHAN is a girl! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Yea sure...o.0
i'm sorry, i'm really, really, weird.
Aw, I thought it was cute!
oh puh-lease, like ITACHI would ever be gay! but still, amusing story... about Kisame...eating
I love KisaIta, so cute!! This was very well written.
this is the last yaoi im reading today because if i eat anymore any1 who makes me mad ima go ninja on ther *** (i don't wanna say it so i put stars * instead)
awwww...Tobi's cute! ^^
awwww...Tobi's cute! ^^
it was written well,but one thing.........MUST YOU MAKE THEM FREAKIN' GAY!!!!God you people are turds......
I feel that there is a difference between the writings of the fan community who pair up characters out of canon relationships, and those that write out from experiences, felt emotions and the fact that they might quite possibly be gay themselves.
When I write I often put myself in place of the focus character's place, and of course most of it is the attraction and 'what if' of what Kisame and Itachi being together - I think they would be a ready match despite all the 'ZOMG BOYS KISSING' ideas. TKisame and Itachi are partners, and I've experienced the same feelings of having a working partner that had to be that close to me. It was only natural for myself to have feelings, although not acting upon them, develop for him. This is just a reflection of my own experiences and feelings.
On that note, feel free to leave comments, but if you don't have anything supportive or helpful to say, don't insult people by posting something ignorant and hurtful.

We all have our own path. Judging others is just a sign that we have something we need to work on ourselves. This is my opinion, not judgment. A difficult beginning just means a stronger and wiser person in the end.

I never said people should wait til they're 23 to have a baby. They should atleast have a job and a place before poppin out babies. If they don't that's their problem that leads to a more harder life. I know 21 year olds that are good mothers and much better than most teen moms 21 and 23 in the same age range 21-25 and over.

Teens that get pregnant at an early age made a mistake if they keep it they compound the mistake. They ruin their lives and that of their children. By not being responsible they have no way to properly raise a child they proved they were selfish and self-centered when they became pregnant. They will continue being selfish and emotionally destroy their child by not having the coping skills to take care of a child. If they will not abort or at least adopt they are further proving how selfish they are.my baby is my world or my child is everything to me no your child is a mistake and you made a selfish decision to attempt to raise it-strike that you made the selfish decision to let everyone instead of you take responsibility for the child and you are teaching it to do the same and make the same selfish mistakes you made. If youre an underage mom and believe you have a right to a baby your wrong! Dont give me that pro-life crap thats a religious sack of dung and if you believed in god you wouldnt be a mom to begin with. And there is always adoption. And if youre the father and you think you should keep the kid your junk should be cut off. I guarantee if the punishment for teen pregnancy was castration teen birth rates would drop overnight.

Okay! You sit here and talk about teens getting pregnant, shit happens! You are not the person to be judging them, God is the one and only who had the right judge! I am 20 years old had my daughter when I was 19! I've been living on my own paying my own bills since turned 18 and started working full time before I turned 18! I work my 40 hours a week and the time in not at work is spent with my daughter! Yes I get medical card for myself and my daughter and yes I get food stamps! I pay all my bills myself and the expenses of my daughter! I work my ass off and no maybe I don't always have the extra money to buy groceries but it isn't like I am taking advantage of the government! I don't sit on my ass and do nothing all day and expect them to pay me hell my tax dollars are going toward that also, so it's not like I'm not paying towards what I get every month and everyone who gets assistance just like those of you who don't get it. I am not ashamed of the fact that I do in fact get some assistance because I know I'm a hardworking mother who makes sure her daughter has what she needs!

Not sure if you replied to me o_O so yeah I have friends who are now grandmas oh and they are 27-29 they work hard etc. I'm 22 and a half by the time I pop out my baby will be kissing 24. I have my own place i m not bitching on people who scream about teen mothers when most of the time that shit could be avoided. Now as for the judging thing everyone judges especially when your baby won't look nothing like you that's mostly in the U.S. In panama nope we don't have high teen pregnancy because the girls here were educated on the matter. We even watch videos on 16andpregnant and how teen pregnancy is glamourized in the states. I wonder if MTV: Maturnity Television is gonna have granda before 30 I would so look forward to seeing that show , with the same spin off bitches. This other video I didn't know I was pregnant is much better showing "grown(Adult) women" having babies that's more entertaining instead of a whinny teen bitchin because she can't go to prom because2 no one is gonna watch jr. Well hey its your life DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANNA DO
United States
#146 Jul 5, 2012
Wow! I couldn't understand the most of that, but I think I got bits and pieces. Teen mom is not meant to glamorize teen pregnancy, it is to show these kids that it is not easy and they do miss out on a lot of things that are important to them such as prom, graduating, ect. If you watch the show than you know it is not glamourous at all, in fact it is very sad to watch most of the time. You seem a little confused, I'm not sure if you are saying you are for it or against it.

they have kids cause they know chillituky is a welfare city and by federal standerds a poverty area with 70% un employment rate. they know some one will give em a free ride and raise the fatherless mistakes! they end up really being the states kid cause tax payers end up raising them . the parents should be charged with failure to control or regulate there kids until age 18! bad parents = major tramps boy and girl.

The number of international students admitted to U.S. graduate schools has increased for the fourth straight year, up 9% for fall 2013 from the same period in 2012, says a report from the Council of Graduate Schools. The large increase wasn't expected because the number of international applications to U.S. graduate schools was essentially flat for fall 2013, rising just 2% after larger gains in the previous two years.

To a Young Jazz Musician: Letters from the Road (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
In "To a Young Jazz Musician, " the renowned jazz musician and Pulitzer Prize winning composer Wynton Marsalis gives us an invaluable guide to making good music and to leading a good life.
Writing from the road between the bus ride, the sound check, and the gig,
Marsalis passes on wisdom gained from experience, addressed to a young musician coming up and to any of us at any stage of life. He writes that having humility is a way to continue to grow, to listen, and to learn; that patience is necessary for developing both technical proficiency and your own art rather than an imitation of someone else's; and that rules are indispensable because freedom lives in structure.
He offers lessons learned from his years as a performer and from his great forebears Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, and others; he explores the art of swing; he discusses why it is important to run toward your issues, not away; and he talks about what to do when your integrity runs up against the lack thereof in others and in our culture.
