Global Warming: What's Known vs. What's Told
'Americans could be forgiven for not knowing how uncontroversial this issue is among the vast majority of scientists.'
By Sandy Tolan and Alexandra Berzon
In science, hypotheses become accepted truths one experiment, one study at a time. Initial doubts become so small, and the doubters so few, that a new scientific "truth" emerges. Even though these "truths" are never fully proven—be it about evolution, relativity, or even gravity—the gradual whittling away of doubt eventually compels scientists to call in the jury and declare the matter settled. Such is the case for global warming and its link to human activity.
In 1988 James Hansen, a respected NASA scientist, testified before the Senate Committee on Energy & Natural Resources, saying he was "99 percent certain" that global warming was real and that it was linked to human activity. Two years later the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a United Nations' body initially backed by 175 scientists in 25 countries, convened to address global warming and declared that human activity was contributing to a warming planet. In the 17 years since the IPCC was formed, the group has grown to include more than 2,000 scientists in 100 nations, and global temperatures have continued to rise, leading to the hottest years ever recorded.
Increased temperatures coincide with the rising levels of carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels and from worldwide deforestation. In 2003 the American Geophysical Union, an international scientific research group with more than 41,000 members, declared that "Human activities are increasingly altering the earth's climate. These effects add to natural influences that have been present over earth's history. Scientific evidence strongly indicates that natural influences cannot explain the rapid increase in global near-surface temperatures observed during the second half of the 20th century." Similar declarations came from the American Meteorological Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the National Academy of Sciences.
The conclusions underscore the research of Naomi Oreskes, a science historian at the University of California at San Diego, who reviewed 928 abstracts of articles on global climate change published in scientific journals between 1993 and 2003 and could not find a single one that challenged the scientific consensus that human-caused global warming is real. "There have been arguments to the contrary," she wrote in a 2004 editorial in The Washington Post, "but they are not to be found in scientific literature, which is where scientific debates are properly adjudicated." The overwhelming agreement echoed the 1997 conclusions of D. James Baker, the former administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, who declared, "There is better scientific consensus on this than on any other issue I know—except maybe Newton's second law of dynamics."
"The time to call the jury in for a clear verdict has long passed" proclaimed Sir David King, science adviser to Tony Blair, in a 2002 speech.
Controversy Feeds Disbelief
Americans could be forgiven for not knowing how uncontroversial this issue is among the vast majority of scientists. Even as Arctic ice and permafrost begin to melt, resulting in slumping houses and new global shipping lanes, and the world's leading scientists agree these phenomena are linked to human activity, American readers, viewers and listeners continue to get the impression that the jury will be deliberating well into the future.
"Context and Controversy: Global Warming Coverage"
- Jessica Durfee and Julia Corbett
"In the case of global warming, the media have more often than not overplayed the level of uncertainty about global climate change," wrote Julia Corbett and Jessica Durfee in a 2004 article in Science Communication. The reason, the authors write, is largely because of traditional journalistic balance. "The result of the routine media practice of quoting conflicting 'sides,'" wrote Corbett and Durfee, is "giving equal weight to fringe and nonscientists as much as scientists … even though the majority of evidence or opinion may fall clearly to one side."
Another factor, writes Dominique Brossard and colleagues in a 2004 study published in Mass Communication and Society, is the American media's inclination to generate stories with drama and conflict. "American media actively constructed narratives about global warming to maintain public interest," they wrote. "In developing their narratives, they may choose to frame stories in a particular way … ignoring others or simply reporting facts or perspectives more interesting or challenging than others …. The journalistic tendency to draw in discordant opinions in a story can lend strength to a viewpoint that may have very little credence in the scientific community at large."
"Disinformation, Financial Pressures, and Misplaced Balance"
- Ross Gelbspan
Remaining skeptics do include a few especially cautious scientists who point out, for example, that the earth might be in a natural warming trend so it is therefore impossible to determine how much of the problem is human-caused. Many of the skeptics, however, are supported by industry-backed groups such as the Greening Earth Society and the Global Climate Coalition. Ross Gelbspan, a former Boston Globe editor and reporter who has written two books about climate change, argues that these groups are part of a "carbon lobby" whose central purpose is to raise doubts on the issue through public relations campaigns. Gelbspan quoted industry documents aiming to "reposition global warming as theory rather than fact."
"The handful of carbon, natural gas, and oil interests have been handed a megaphone that carry their voice farther and louder than it does in strictly scientific circles," says Bud Ward, a longtime reporter on the environment who remembers similar debates over the ozone hole starting in 1976. "Public perceptions are being torqued toward a greater uncertainty than actually exists in a responsible scientific community."
Equally influential, in some cases, are nonscientists, including the novelist Michael Crichton, whose "State of Fear" decries environmental extremism and who writes in an author's note, "We know astonishingly little about every aspect of the environment, from its past history, to its present state, to how to conserve and protect it. In every debate, all sides overstate the extent of existing knowledge and its degree of certainty." Crichton, who declares that "everyone has an agenda, except me," has nevertheless seen fit to testify before the U.S. House and Senate at the invitation of conservative legislators who continue to sow doubt on the issue among the general public.
The Dangers of Balance
The weight many journalists give to such views, in insisting on balance but not on putting it within a broader scientific and political context, appears to be at the heart of the confusion among Americans, who may understandably determine from the "dueling experts" that nothing can be concluded and thus that action is not yet warranted. "The message of the traditional balanced account may be, 'Well, who knows what's really true?'," wrote Corbett and Durfee.
Ward agrees that "the old journalism 101 thing about balance" is creating a problem in the coverage of climate change. "Balance in some cases can be the enemy of accuracy," he says. "I'm all for balance in a gubernatorial campaign, a presidential campaign, policy stories. But science isn't determined by a popularity contest. We went through this for how long with tobacco? Certainly this is not the first time we've seen the mistaken application of balance."
But the U.S. media may be inching closer to its own verdict, one more aligned with scientists. Seth Borenstein, who covers science and the environment for Knight Ridder's 32 daily papers, said he's noticed that in the past few years environmental reporters have reached a consensus for how to cover global warming that still adheres to the American journalistic ethic of including disputing views, but puts those views into a clear context: "Most of the people you talk to are legitimate, mainstream scientists," explained Borenstein. "You put a paragraph in saying 'There are a minority of scientists skeptical, they say this, but the vast, overwhelming majority of scientists disregard them.'"
In April and May 2005, The New Yorker published Elizabeth Kolbert's three-part series, "The Climate of Man," which documents changes to the planet and concludes by asking, "As the effects of global warming become more and more apparent, will we react by finally fashioning a global response? Or will we retreat into ever narrower and more destructive forms of self-interest? It may seem impossible to imagine that a technologically advanced society could choose, in essence, to destroy itself, but that is what we are now in the process of doing."
In the months following Kolbert's series, The Washington Post and The New York Times published major takeouts on global warming in the Arctic, with the Times's Andrew Revkin writing in "The Big Melt" series on October 25th, "many … scientists have concluded that the momentum behind human-caused warming, combined with the region's tendency to amplify change, has put the familiar Arctic past the point of no return." An informal survey of articles published in 2004 and 2005 in American newspapers also suggests less uncertainty on the issue than in previous years. One representative headline from The Seattle Times declared, "Scientists overwhelmingly agree: The earth is getting warmer at an alarming pace, and humans are the cause no matter what the skeptics say."
Reports continue, however, of a reluctance to tackle the issue in all its gravity, both in the press and in popular culture. The summer documentary hit "March of the Penguins," which intimately documents the migration and mating habits of penguins in Antarctica, does not once mention that the creatures' habitat may melt away. Luc Jacquet, the French biologist and director of the film, told National Geographic News, "It's obvious that global warming has an impact on the reproduction of the penguins. But much of public opinion appears insensitive to the dangers of global warming. We have to find other ways to communicate to people about it, not just lecture them."
In cases of Americans' reluctance to confront this situation, the issue goes deeper than efforts by the "carbon lobby," or journalistic models of balance, to something far deeper. Valerie Brown, a freelance journalist who has written about global warming, said she worries that as they find out more about the issue, "people will just get more anxious and cocoon even more while the world is going to hell in a handbasket."
"There's not a clear-cut view in society's mind about what can be done about it," says Ward. "Is it bigger than both of us? Is this something that we human beings just can't affect? It's not like CFC's [chlorofluorocarbons, released in aerosol sprays], where you can just take them off the market. It's not clear that there's a counterpart solution. There's the difficulty of not finding a silver bullet.
"And that," Ward says, "basically invites denial."

Global Warming: What's Known vs. What's Told

The argument that there are no clear solutions is itself suspect. Consider the 4 trillion odd spent on the war on terror, the money spent on the financial bail out. Numerous solution exist ranging from efficiency, renewables, CCS, deep geothermal with CO2, the thorium economy, or even serious spending on fusion. What I see in a total unwillingness to act until the writing is on the wall, which contrast greatly with our willingness to anticipate military threats.

Athletes sometimes use a freezing cold bath to relieve sore muscles but Irish researchers worry there could be harmful side effects.
A new study points out that cold water causes a degree of shock to the body.
The authors say more research is needed to figure out whether that's safe.
It's possible that a warm bath or light jogging may be better ways to reduce soreness.

Farm Bill Extension in the Works
Stating it is no longer possible to enact a five-year farm bill in this Congress - House Ag Committee Chair Frank Lucas says the responsible thing to do is to extend the 2008 Farm Bill for one year. He says an extension would provide certainty to the nation's producers and critical disaster assistance to those affected by record drought conditions. While Lucas says the extension legislation isn't perfect - he is hopeful it will pass the House and Senate and be signed by President Obama by Tuesday (January 1). In endorsing the one-year extension - Ranking Member of the House Agriculture Committee Collin Peterson - said reforms to the dairy industry are the primary reason he's willing to even consider an extension.
Without a temporary extension - Senate Ag Chair Debbie Stabenow said we risk serious damage to the economy. She placed the blame on the House Republican leadership for their lack of action. According to Stabenow - the responsible short-term farm bill extension was developed by Ag Committee leaders in both chambers. She says it not only stops milk prices from spiking - but prevents eventual damage to the entire ag economy. Despite her backing for a short-term extension now - Stabenow continues to stress the importance of passing a five-year farm bill to give farmers and ranchers the certainty they need to plan for the future. Without a new farm bill in this Congress - she said the Senate Ag Committee will soon hold another mark-up and keep working until one is enacted in 2013.
According to the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition - three different versions of measures to extend the farm bill were filed late Saturday night. The other two versions were one-month extensions primarily focused on delaying the so-called dairy cliff. Peterson expressed opposition to both efforts - stating they would fail to reform the dairy safety net. He called the 30-day extension approach a poor joke on farmers that offers no certainty given the improbability that the House and Senate could enact long-term farm policy into law within the next 30 days.

I love this product, it just isn't accurately sized to fit a standard king size mattress and the frame isn't adjustable. Also, you can't use it with another frame due to the design of the frame. The frame is about 4' bigger than a standard King size mattress causing it to move around. I'm hoping to get a response from the manufacturer on any recommendations to make the frame fit the mattress.
Beautiful king metal frame. Elegant lines, blends well with my Victorian bedroom decor.Easily put together. Arrived sooner than expected. Exactly what I've been looking for.

The Fiscal Deficit: How Achievable is it?
Posted by: Deepa Vasudevan on Fri, Jul 18th, 2014
The Government has targeted a fiscal deficit of 4.1% of GDP for this year.

Any deviation of actual conditions from assumed ones will result in a much higher deficit. Read more
How Do Tax Proposals in Budget-2014 Affect Debt Fund and FMP Investors?
Posted by: Uma Shashikant and Arti Anand Bhargava on Sun, Jul 13th, 2014
The benefit of tax arbitrage for debt funds versus bank deposits is now gone. Investors must hold debt funds for three years to qualify for long term capital gains, instead of one. If sold earlier, the gains are added to their income just like they are with fixed deposits. Moreover, the investor pays a higher percentage in the form of DDT. Read more

MADISON (WKOW) -- It was a rough week for UW System President Kevin Reilly, after state lawmakers chewed him out for raising tuition on students while putting hundreds of millions of dollars in reserve.
Reilly is the featured guest on Capitol City Sunday this weekend and says the surplus, which sits at $648 million dollars, is relative."When you look at our tuition, compared to our peers, its still relatively low and our quality is still very, very high," said Reilly.But Reilly says he is aware that people are upset about the soaring costs of tuition and he wants to help."We've proposed, for instance, to put $30 million in the financial aid fund to help buy down the waiting list in financial aid," said Reilly.That is even if the legislature demands a tuition freeze for the next two years, which appears likely. But, Reilly says another suggestion to stop any funding of the UW System in the next budget cycle is short-sighted.
"When I would say, 'OK we've got to cancel these classes, we've got to layoff faculty,' people would say, 'that's really bad management, why didn't you have reserves,'" said Reilly. "The University serves all of us," said Sen. Dale Schultz (R-Richland Center), who is on the second segment of the show this weekend. "And if what we're really trying to do is fix the University, punishing it doesn't seem like a real effective way to help it serve students in the communities that it serves."Along with a discussion about the UW surplus, Sen. Schultz talks about his 2014 primary challenge from Rep. Howard Marklein (R-Spring Green)."Nothing surprises me, even a legislator who's barely three months into his second term deciding he'd rather run in a primary election against me rather than work on the state budget," said Schultz.
Capitol City Sunday airs at 9:00 a.m. on WKOW 27.

TEAMS: New York Yankees
Alex Rodriquez is finally opening up about his relationship with ex-girlfriend Cameron Diaz. Using the actress' initials as a term of endearment, A-Rod tells "The Insider' host Kevin Frazier— in the show airing Thursday night: "I don't like talking about my relationships, but I will tell you about CD: She's probably one of the greatest human beings I've ever met, and an amazing light," reports Page Six of The New York Post.
When asked about another swing at marriage, the divorced Yankee slugger didn't sound as enthusiastic.
"I'm not sure," said Rodriguez. "I think my new hero is George Clooney."
Not Ken Griffey Jr. — whom A-Rod just passed on the career home-run list— or Cal Ripkin, but the eternal bachelor whose current girlfriend Stacy Keibler is close friends with Rodriguez's latest love Torrie Wilson. The two statuesque blonds are former WCW and WWE wrestlers.
"He's my new role model." he says of Clooney. "I think he's done it right."

Facebook enthusiasm among teens is on the decline, according to a new report by the Pew Research Center.
The report shows that teens are becoming annoyed with their parents, who seem to be taking over the social networking site.
Teens also feel that Facebook creates an unnecessary amount of drama.
But, the report also says that those same fed-up teens are not abandoning Facebook all together, with 94 percent of them still having profiles on the site.

- Witherspoon Worth VisitFiveODined on 8/31/2014Ambiance and food was very good. Service was a little slow, but probably more related to individual waitress than overall based on observation. Portions were excellent.Special Features:
- Pleasant SurpriseOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 8/30/2014The food was very good with nice sized portions. The filet was cooked perfectly and the pork tenderloin had a very tastey crust. The space is very small. We felt a little cramped in the back area near the kitchen.Special Features:
- Great food, Great Service!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/29/2014This was our first time to the Witherspoon grill and without a doubt we will be returning again soon. Our server was upbeat and although we saw she had a number of tables to manage it never seemed like she was rushing which made the experience memorable. She was on point with her timing and kept our wine glasses full the entire meal. I ordered the strip steak and our server made the suggestion to spend another $8 and get the dry aged steak and I was happy that I did. My fiancé had the lobster risotto and was thrilled with her choice. We will return again on our next trip to Princeton!Special Features:
- 2 for 2FoodieintrainingDined on 8/29/2014I have been to Witherspoon Grill for inside and outside dining, both of which exceeded my expectations. Great host, wait staff, and food!Special Features:
- fricker84Dined on 8/23/2014Have dined here on several occasions and the food and service has always been exceptional. Highly recommendedSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Date nightlovethatfoodDined on 8/21/2014We have been here many times before and it never disappoints. We sat outside since it was a nice night, and it was much quieter than inside. The food is always great and we both enjoyed our entrees and the dessert!Special Features:
- Excellent LunchPUDinerDined on 8/21/2014Dined here with three colleagues for lunch. Wait person was personable and informative. Wine list was quite good but missed a similar beer list. Food was excellent and the ambiance was light and lively (we were still able to have a serious conversation without difficulty).Special Features:
- RAP2Dined on 8/19/2014Pleasant ambience and good, friendly service. A nice place to be, especially in the evening. I've had good luck with both meat and fish dinner entrees. Lunch was a little pricey; the lobster risotto ($16) was heavy on the cheese for my taste; the lobster itself was a little chewy in places. The salads looked good with plenty of fresh ingredients.Special Features:
- ClassygreattimesDined on 8/16/2014This is such a classy restaurant. We brought friends here for the first time and they were very impressed. Keep it up. Love the new dinner specials. DeliciousSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Worth a Second Chance....TravelDiva612Dined on 8/13/2014CSC Dinner Club Review: The ambiance on the inside and outdoor seating was very nice. The wait staff was cordial but could be a little more attentive. The food was tasty with good presentation but pricey for the quality. For example, the lobster bisque did not have lump lobster meat in it. The sirloin on the steak salad was not very tender. On the flip side the mashed potatoes, short ribs, onion rings and bread pudding are worth returning for. We would give Witherspoon Grill a second chance.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Witherspoon Grill deliversBassmanDined on 8/9/2014We arrived at 8:15 on a busy Saturday night and were seated at an outdoor table. The cheese plate was a scrumptious offering of three varieties accompanied by dried fruit and crackers. Wanting to play it different for main courses we decided to share sides of mashed Yukon gold potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts and sautéed broccolini. All were prepared and seasoned perfectly and our server was knowledgable and friendly making it a perfect night. Can't wait to return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Highly recommend Witherspoon GrillMMDEDined on 8/5/2014Great, jazz trio -- entertaining without being overbearing during dinner. Food was delicious, even though only one of us ordered a steak. The fish special was also terrific, as were all our salads and accompaniments. Really enjoyed this dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What's not to love?PaigeDined on 8/4/2014I've been here multiple times and the food has always been stupendous. The service is great, very genuine and personable people. I love the atmosphere, upscale, modern, sheak. I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good meal and a good time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Standard steakhouse, lousy serviceVictoriaDined on 8/2/2014Standard steakhouse fare, not very interesting or well done. My husband had a hangar steak special, which was advertised as a "butter-fly" cut, but wasn't. I would have tolerated the food, which was not bad, just not ourstanding, but our waitress Rachel was awful. She seemed downright miffed when I declined a second glass of wine. Never came back to the table after the meals were served. Stopped by only after we were finished, and someone else had cleared the table of the dirty dishes, to present the bill with her cloying and transparent sweetness. Ugh.

- Not a great experienceeatoutDined on 7/26/2014We have gone to this restaurant many times and this time was by far the worst experience we have had. The waitress was not customer-focused. She kicked our friend's husband's foot 3x even though she saw that he had an injury and was wearing a boot. The food was not prepared the way we wanted. After we spoke to the manager, we got help but we still had a bad taste while we were there. We don't recommend going on a Saturday night with kids if you aren't going to drink (we are not drinkers and we had kids).
- Recent DinnerPhillyGirlDined on 7/24/2014We chose Witherspoon Grill because we were looking for quality steaks in the Princeton area. The bone-in ribeyes were amazing. The menu is great, lots of choices.Special Features:

- Witherspoon Grill DisappointsOpenTableFanVIPDined on 7/2/2014We had a group of 8. Arrived at 6:30 PM, entree served 90-minutes later, dessert served 1 hour later. After 3 hours I asked for the manager. It took 5 minutes for the server to find him. He was not sympathetic. After 3 hours I had to go to the manager again to ask for the check and then it was an additional 10-minutes before it arrived. I was entertaining colleagues visiting our college from Europe and across the country and I was quite embarrassed. I was also not pleased with the manager who did nothing to make any amends. While the food was outstanding, I would not take colleagues there again.Special Features:

The food never disappoints and the selection of entrees is fairly comprehensive; there is something for everyone. We had two vegetarians in our party and they both found plenty of choices. Eating outside is wonderful, but there can be a wait IF you don't make a reservation. The service is great - attentive but not overbearing.Special Features:

- Too Expensive for what you get!CaresForFoodDined on 6/21/2014We ordered shrimp Cocktail and Caesar salad for starter. In Shrimp Cocktail, there were 6 shrimps for $16 which is about fine. Caesar salad came in a very small plate with two oily old fried toasts for $9. The breads couldn't be broken with teeth. Then we ordered 4 Filet Mignon steaks. A plate with one Filet Mignon steak in the middle and few shreds of fried onion came ($38) and without any sauce or sides. It is a crime to serve Filet Mignon dry in an empty plate. They should have some respect for steak. We ordered fries and mashed potatoes separately each for about $8. Both fries and mashed potatoes were old and reheated. I did not complain simply because my parents were my guests. I will not go there again and will not recommend it.

Service team is outstanding (attentive, responsive, professional and engaging) and choice of menu items gives a wide range for everyone. If I was forced to say something negative the Ceasar Salad portion is quite small for the price. The Bar is a great place to meet and the outdoor dining in downtown Princetion is one of the best. Parking is right next door which is another big plus.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Red Sox give Pedroia night off to rest thumb
Second baseman feels fine, expects to play on Thursday
BOSTON -- Dustin Pedroia's thumb situation was just a scare, both he and his manager said, and the Red Sox second baseman expects to be back in the lineup Thursday.
Pedroia said he was available off the bench when Nick Punto started at second Wednesday at Fenway Park. Pedroia was jammed in the seventh inning of Tuesday's 7-5 win against the Marlins and left the game for fear that he had further damaged a torn adductor muscle in his right thumb.
That fear is gone.
"I think it scared me more than anything," Pedroia said after taking grounders Wednesday. "My hand slipped off the bat and my thumb got caught. It was just kind of a weird feeling. I'm not playing today, but I'll be in there tomorrow. I feel fine.
Swelling hasn't been a problem.
"It's kind of a weird deal," he said. "I went to swing and I don't know if it got a little hotter and humid and I didn't have enough pine tar on my bat, so my thumb just got caught in that weird spot."
When Pedroia first came back in early June from the muscle tear, he was using a brace to protect his thumb from impact while hitting. It took him two games to ditch that, but he he's still been going to the plate with protection.
"He's had padding, there was padding last night," manager Bobby Valentine said. "Probably he didn't have padding when [the injury first occurred May 28] so the padding probably helped absorb the shock. "
Pedroia is having a down season offensively, hitting .269 with five homers and 26 RBIs. He had one hit Tuesday, a double, but entered that game with just eight hits in his previous 50 at-bats.
Valentine didn't rule out the possibility that the thumb has been a contributor to the downturn.
"Probably. I don't know, probably," Valentine said. "It's hard to quantify, but probably, yeah. But like he said the other day, when [Jon] Lester was pitching and he makes that play in the first inning, turns a double play on a line drive, he's out there helping the team win a game. Not having the laser show every night, but he's an amazing presence on our team."

M25 congested anti-clockwise between junctions three and 1B
Updated 9:01am Thursday 21st February 2013 in Dartford & Swanley news By Robert Fisk, Chief Reporter
A BROKEN down Sainsbury's lorry caused delays on the anti-clockwise stretch of the M25 this morning.
The lorry, which was broken down close to junction 1B, caused tailbacks to junction 3 at the Swanley Interchange.
Two lanes were shut whilst the lorry was recovered and motorists faced delays of up to 30 minutes travelling towards the Dartford tunnels.
Traffic was also seen queuing on the slip road to the M25 from the A2.
All lanes were re-opened at 8:30am but delays are still being experienced in the area.

With the fall sports state championships now in the books, we begin the winter high school season. But before we get into finding the best plays from basketball, hockey, wrestling, and gymnastics, we want to salute the top five performances of the fall state championship season.
Tomahawk's Lauren Hilt wasn't satisfied just getting to state as a freshman, she wanted to put her name on the map. Hilt placed 4th in both the 50 and 100 yard freestyle at the Division 2 state meet.
The Auburndale volleyball team entered the postseason as a 5-seed, but that didn't phase the it's determination. The Apaches fought through four 5-set matches in the playoffs en route to a silver ball at the Division 3 state championships.
In her third appearance at state in the last four years, Grace Larrain became the first girl or boy from Newman Catholic to win a state title.
The SPASH boys cross country team dominated this fall and that dominance was on display at state. Five Panthers finished in the top 30, good for 84 points and a Division 1 state title.
The most impressive performance this season was from the Newman Catholic volleyball team.
The Cardinals didn't drop a set the entire postseason, which earned them a Division 4 gold ball and our top state performance of the 2013 fall sports season.

Ladies were taking aim in Niles Sunday. It was for the Women on Target program at the Bend of the River Conservation Club.
More than 20 women learned how to safely handle a pistol or rifle. The club said the program has been growing in popularity. They used to only offer four classes a year but they've had to increase that. Instructor Dale Wall says he thinks it's because, "people in general are becoming more aware that there are more and more firearms out in the public and they want knowledge."
Don't worry men, the club offers classes you can take too. If you're interested check out the clubs website.

WJBF News Channel 6 has learned an Aiken man has been arrested and is facing several charges.
The Aiken Department of Public Safety has arrested 23-year-old Michael Antwon Fuller on charges of Kidnapping, Criminal Sexual Conduct First (1st) Degree, Unlawful Carrying of a Pistol, and Possession of a Weapon during the Commission of a Violent Crime.
Early Friday morning, around 4:35 a.m., investigators say officers responded to a vehicle collision on Medical Park Drive. Upon arrival, they say Fuller was located in the vehicle with a .25 caliber pistol under him. He was then placed under arrest.
A female victim arrived at Aiken Regional Medical Centers' Emergency Room indicating she had been assaulted by Fuller while inside of the vehicle.
Investigators were able to determine uller approached the victim on the parking lot of a nearby hotel and asked for a ride to the hospital. Once inside of the vehicle, Fuller allegedly produced a pistol, and ordered her to drive around.
During the incident, Fuller reportedly committed a sexual battery upon the victim. She then drove the vehicle in reverse into a tree, and was able to escape from Fuller.
Fuller is currently being held at the Aiken County Detention Center, and investigators are continuing to investigate the incident, and further charges may be forthcoming.

Open Thread: Netanyahu and Obama
After an address to AIPAC supporters yesterday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will address a joint session of Congress today to discuss the importance of continued support to Israel in attempts to create peace between Israel and Palestine. His speech at AIPAC yesterday may be something of a preview of his address to Congress today. Check out the video below the break.
Obama received criticism from even his most loyal supporters for last week's remark that "the borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps," including Senator Reid's statement that "negotiations will not happen – and their terms will not be set – through speeches, or in the streets, or in the media."
With Netanyahu, the majority of Congress, and even Obama loyalists like Harry Reid and Steny Hoyer speaking out against him, do you think Obama will be able to regain his footing with his large base of Jewish supporters?

I don't see the fact that Obama hates Israel (or most of our traditional/cultural allies) as having any effect on the love-affair between Jewish liberals and the Democratic Party.

"...do you think Obama will be able to regain his footing with his large base of Jewish supporters?"
The best I can tell, He hasn't LOST "his large base of Jewish supporters." I'm having a very hard time believing that the American Jewish community even gives a happy shiite about the fate of Israel anymore.
Netanyahu is a hero for having the guts to stand up to our Fascist president. Too bad history never teaches us anything until it's too late.

After reading all the crap in the MSM about Ireland embracing their "native son" I had to chuck my dinner.
Will Bambi have English roots today? Will he have German or Italian roots? I mean this guy has more roots than a potato patch. One thing I'm willing to bet is that he will never have Jewish roots!
The Irish really need to revaluate drinking during the day if this is the type of thing that makes them proud to be Irish.

Newsbubba, I posted this yesterday, from a Brit:
O'Bama is the most Irish US president that ever set foot on the Emerald Oisle, so he is, so he is.
Except, when he's in Africa, of course, when he disappears into the dry ice and re-emerges with a grass skirt and a bone through his nose and declares himself to be Mandingo, Prince of the Bloodline of the Bonga People, Drinker of Cattle Urine, Father of A Thousand Warrior Sons, Keeper of King Solomon's Mines, Barehanded Slayer of Lions, Undaunted Victim of the Evil Colonial British Empire.
And in the Middle East, where he is Al-Barak Hussein Obama, Protector of the Holy Shrine, Smiter of the Kuffar, Lion of the Desert, Tent-Loving-Aficionado-of-the-Oversweetened-Coffee, Chomper of Sheeps' Eyeballs, Restorer of the Caliphate.
So, who knows what he'll be today?

I saw that last night, MB, and it's good. I could have puked too, listening to Boy O'Barry flap his purple (not green) lips about 'being home' and having Irish 'roots' and the rest of that malarky!!!
He'll never claim ANY 'white' roots unless it is politically convienient.
And, yeah, he comes over here and becomes a Hawaiian, and he's been quoted as saying he's from Kenya, and he went back to Java and spoke some (crappy) Indonesian, and, of course, he's got big roots in the Mooooooooooooooslem countries.............and now he's Irish!!! Of course, you never hear the guy bragging about how he's an AMERICAN!!!!
Oh, yeah..........I was watching some of his snarky remarks over there in Eire, and I'm sticking to my long-held theory that this guy is basically a twerpy little snot-nosed lippy PUNK who happened to hit the jackpot!!! His position and his status have STILL not gained him one ounce of class, style, elegance, or credence...........he's still the same little prick that he was back when he was a useless nobody...........although I'm sure that he was as self-absorbed and narcississic then as he is now.
Thank you, idiot voters and the MSM and the men behind the curtain, for giving us this embarrassingly idiotic piece of shiite.

The talk between Prince William and Barry
Submitted by jon_torlin on Tue, 05/24/2011 - 12:01pm.
You gotta wonder that Boy Barry, who's not fit to talk with Kings and Princes, (unless they are Muslim) must have brought up not being invited to the wedding.
Based on what I've heard about William, he's been brought up well though I wouldn't credit Prince Charles for that. Princess Diana, certainly. And his wife looks like a real class act, gracious to a fault and MO is about as faulty as they come.
That picture where the manchild was looking down his nose at the queen who was trying to hold on to her hat. He's sneering.
If there was anyone that didn't belong in those pictures, the Os are them. Ugh, they make me sick. Makes me even sicker that they've taken up a lot of rooms at the Palace. Did the Queen have a choice in that?

If they wanted that much security, send them to a military bunker or a bank vault.
While as an American that isn't beholden to British Royalty, at least I know how to be polite and not make unreasonable demands on them. You're in their country, you're their guests.
Hell, taking them to the church that William and Kate got married in was a bit gauche. Actually, not a bit, but a lot, especially since they weren't invited in the first place. I got the impression that the royals were thinking "let's get this over with" from some of pictures. edit: I saw DuhOne was laying a wreath for an unknown soldier at the Westminster Abbey, so it makes sense that he was there anyway. My bad. But apparently he signed the guest book with the date "May 24, 2008"???
And how about presence? Pictures are worth 1000 words, Prince William and Duchess Kate have far more presence than DuhOne and DuhUdderOne ever will have and they weren't even trying.

MO has the worst fashion sense...
Submitted by PrairieSky on Tue, 05/24/2011 - 3:12pm.
of any first lady in my memory...She insists on wearing those short cardigans and shrugs with the 3/4 sleeves...They are not flattering on her and she wears them all the time. Lord I wish someone would tell her to stop wearing them. And she'd do herself a really big favor if she would grow her hair longer, too. The short bob that she has just calls attention to her very prominent jawline and underbite, and it isn't attractive on her.
Just my two cents...

GARLAND –– Dave Cox knew an air conditioning repair crew was coming on the Fourth of July. The 71-year-old figured they would patch his old system one more time on his Garland home.
But this time, they brought a whole new system –– free.
"Thank you very much for everything you've done," Raymond Brown told him, reaching out to shake Cox's hand. "It's a pleasure to get to put a system in your home."
Cox stood speechless.
"I don't know what to say. Thanks, I guess," he stammered.
Trane donated half the cost. Climate Tech donated the rest.
Brown, the company owner, spent a year in Iraq as a private contractor, providing a/c relief for soldiers.
"It warms my heart to give back to veterans," he said.
Cox is the father of a company employee. He's on a fixed income. And he has the kind of veteran's story that can warm a few hearts.
"This is my father at bootcamp at Great Lakes," he says, pointing to a grainy black and white picture, one of many Navy photos mounted on a deep blue wall in a study filled with Navy nick-nacks. Lamps, candles, compass and ship's helm. His family calls it "Grandpa's Navy wall."
It shows four generations and their ships.
His father served on a destroyer in World War II. His father-in-law also fought World War II at sea. Cox's son drew destroyer duty when he signed up. He points to a picture of him and his son, both in uniform.
"That's me and my son. That's 30 years after a I got out."
The old uniform still fit. Maybe not like when he got it.
"That's my company. That's me back in the 60's," he says, explaining another photo of a big group of sailors.
Dave Cox followed his brother into the Navy. His grandson is still in. His granddaughter is at A&M about to be commissioned.
"She's there on a Navy scholarship. So she will graduate as an ensign," he says.
Cox's time in the Navy put him in the middle of the Cuban missile crisis. He says his destroyer forced a Soviet sub to surface during a tense standoff. That's a lot of Navy history. But not the best part.
"The best thing the Navy ever did for me is I met her," he says, pointing at his wife.
He spotted Mary while on leave with some buddies 51 years ago. Like the plot of the old Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra sailor musical, "On the Town."
"I told them I would meet them back at the ship. There goes the girl I'm gonna marry," he laughs.
It's his favorite story.
They tied the knot five weeks later. He was 18. She had just turned 17.
With such deep military roots, the Fourth of July has always been a big holiday for the Cox family. This year, it's even more so: The gift of worry-free air conditioning in the Texas summer.

Ellyssa Kroski writes iLibrarian, a blog on the Open Education Database billed as "News and resources on Library 2.0 and the information revolution." In A Librarian's Guide to Makerspaces: 16 Resources, she shares 16 resources: articles, blog posts, events, and directories, to help fellow librarians get a clearer picture of what goes into making a Makerspace.
The Maker Map, excerpted above, links to helpful stores, spaces, and institutions. It's definitely a growing list with incomplete information (as of this morning, for example, I noticed there's no dot on the map for The Crucible or the tool libraries in Oakland and Berkeley), but it has great potential. It promises "to create a global database of maker resources – from workspaces to incubators – which is powered by the maker community and easily searchable on any device." As it is "an ongoing open source project", we expect it will only grow in value over time. And you can help by adding your own resources or your favorites to the database.

This book contains a random collection of 48 poems that Mathias Ricken, a student most of the time, has happened to have written down over the last decade. Emotionally, there are a few distinct chapters, starting in 1997 and quite unfortunately not yet ending in 2006, even though this collection ends there.
The poems are a window to his heart, not necessarily for anyone to look in, but for his stuff to get out. They have always been more for him than for anyone else, so any reader should feel free to not enjoy them at all.
He is quite an awful writer, and some might say the poems are plagiarized. The voices in his head are currently pressing legal charges.

Kennebunkport Police say the search is continuing today for 21-year-old Zachary Wells, of Burlington, and 23-year-old Prescott Wright, of Barnstable, Massachusetts. The pair are students at The Landing School which is a boat building and yacht design school in Maine.
They were last seen early Thursday morning at a small gathering with friends.
Police say there's no indication of foul play, and that searches of ocean waters, roadsides and marshes have failed to turn up any clues.
