what is Noah's Ark?
Noah's Ark is a non-profit, state licensed, pre-school ministry serving children 3 years old through young 5's.
The purpose of Noah's Ark is to provide a secure and loving environment for your child's early learning experience. We partner with our families to provide a setting where children can experience optimal growth and development, preparation for the "big school" (kindergarten readiness)and opportunities to learn about God and His never-ending love.
Our early childhood professionals facilitate learning in all areas of development, plan activities which nurture body, mind, and soul, and provide field trips appropriate for your child's age group.
Play is the medium of learning for all children. As children experience new opportunities to make decisions and negotiate plans, their self concept grows, as does their independence and their willingness to try new things. We celebrate the process of learning by providing a print rich, music filled, creative, faithful, and well rounded early childhood learning experience.

BOSTON – An alumnus of the Pike School claims he was sexually abused and raped two decades ago by a 50-year-old woman teacher at the independent Andover school.
The alumnus, now 34, alleged in a 21-page lawsuit filed today in Suffolk Superior Court, that the teacher – Judith Elefante (Judith Chapell at the time) - began having sex with him when he was 15 and in the ninth grade. The relationship continued when the former Pike student went to the Groton School, a private, Episcopal, college preparatory boarding school in Groton; Andover High School and later college.
Elefante, 70, of Newburyport; the Pike School; and three former Pike school administrators are among 16 defendants named in the lawsuit filed by Boston attorney Carmen L. Durso. The Groton School and 10 of its school administrators and teachers are also named as co-defendants.
"As a result of the negligence of defendant the Pike School, plaintiff John Doe was sexually assaulted, battered and raped by defendant Elefante, and has suffered serious and permanent physical and emotional injuries," the lawsuit alleges.
The Pike School, 34 Sunset Rock Road in Andover, is an independent, coed, day school for grades prekindergarten through nine.
Durso seeks a jury trial to determine the amount of compensatory and punitive damages, attorney fees and other costs.
The lawsuit alleged that John Doe wasn't the only Pike student who was sexually abused by Elefante, who worked as a classroom teacher, an advisor, a secondary school counselor and a sex education instructor.
"Starting in the early 1980's, and continuing at least through 1994, defendant Elefante engaged in sexual activity with minor students who attended the Pike School, and was a serial abuser," according to the court complaint.
"Defendant Elefante used her position and her authority as a teacher to identify, and to groom, potential victims. The professional medical literature relating to young males who are abused by adult females emphasizes that they are unable to understand that they are being victimized by perpetrators who have used them for their own sexual pleasure," the complaint says.

About a year ago, I enrolled in the TEALS program; I was about to be dropped in a classroom full of high school students to teach them about programming stuff.
The deal was simple: TEALS had booked the first period of every day (8:00am-8:55am) for the computer science course. The plan was that I would go there teach 2 days a week, help the teacher then zip to Microsoft to work the rest of the day. Obviously things did not go according to the plan… for the better.
It quickly turned out that this teaching gig was way more addicting and exciting than expected. I immediately found myself going 5 days a week. I had the chance to work with a great team: the teacher, Michael Braun, and another Microsoft employee Chris Mitchell. Chris also was supposed to show up 2 days a week but ended up coming every day as well. This was an amazing experience – teaching is just something really special.
One year later, I survived my first year of American high school and better words, watch is the video that summarizes it:

The first armed robbery of 2013 has Jackson Police searching for a suspect after he reportedly walked into a convenience store in the middle of the day and threatened to have a gun before leaving with the store's cash.
Officer Colendula Green with JPD says a black male walked into the Sprint Mart at 4775 Clinton Boulevard just before noon Wednesday morning. The robber made his way to the back of the store and opened the door to the store office.
Although the store employee says he did not see a firearm, the suspect threatened the clerk saying he had a gun and wanted cash. The employee told investigators that he gave the suspect money and the man then fled the store.
Officer Green says the store does have surveillance video cameras and detectives are currently reviewing the film to try to identify a suspect. She adds the robber was wearing a brown hooded sweatshirt and sunglasses and got away with an undisclosed about of cash.

Almost three weeks after we originally reported that casting agents were having an impossible time filling some vacant slots on the second attempt at The Real Housewives of Miami, sources tell us that yet another wave of wise women have declined the dubious offer to appear on the show. Seems like the casting crew is going through all of the city's illustrious publications and contacting everyone who appears in them in various incarnations from staffers to pose striking socialites--in other words, pretty much everone and everything but the font and those annoying subscription cards. One woman told us she was contacted twice, even after adamantly refusing the first time. "They're calling everyone," she wrote in an email. "It's embarrassing." Sounds like the only way they'd fill the vacancies was if Michaele Salahi, Jill Zarin and all the other Housewives castoffs just moved to Miami. But that won't happen, plus, the name Desperate Housewives is already taken.

Willing Real Housewives of Miami harder to find than bin Laden & Waldo
You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed for this post.
Thankfully, the women that really SHOULD be stars of the Miami show such as a certain Miami Herald columnist, an ageless super-publicist and a still hip Madonna gal-pal have the class to rise above the fray. Women who know who and what hey are do not need an absurd show like Real Housewives to give them 15 minutes because they already have it on their own.
They're scraping the bottom of the barrel and still can't find anyone. Take a hint, Bravo!
Everyone is on to Bravo and their staged drama. They have jumped the shark on the Housewives shows. Great HWs stuff at www.stoopidhousewives.com
Honestly, they should cast real women in Miami, not just the socialites or rich and powerful. What about the hard working mommies, who actually cook, clean and take care of their kids, who don't have nannies. Get REAL Bravo.
That's too bad for Bravo I'm kinda shocked. Who knew Miami was the city that would reject the series.
I think they are taking their time so it wont be the hot mess it was last season. with the daughter/mother dual of druggies/freak shows. desperately seeking mothers that rather do anything but be with their kids and so on, you the show.
miami has so many cool women in south beach, key biscayne, coconut grove, gabels estates. That is where they need to be looking and I have heard they have....oh and "GOD NO, to even thinking of that B!^*H of Lesley" she has to write for THe Miami Herald because no one else would take her; why? BC she cant write! - Lesley you are so self-promoting and full of yourself, and an OUTRAGES LIER! - You change stories around to your convience, even after you have posted them and then earse anyone who calls you out of that- YOU ARE GROSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I know they will find fabolus cast memebers in Miami. That city has such a variety of beautiful,cool women (not sure how they ended up with those 5 fools)but glad to hear they have a new production team and casting. I think it will be good, can't wait to find out who they are.

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays an important role in bone growth and reducing inflammation. Vitamin D can be found in some foods, but it is also known as the "sunshine vitamin" because it is synthesized by the body when the skin is exposed to sunlight.
People With IBD May Lack Vitamin D
People who have inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may have a vitamin D deficiency. Dietary fat is necessary in order for vitamin D to be absorbed and used by the body. Fat is poorly absorbed by people with active inflammation in the small intestine, such as that caused by Crohn's disease. Vitamin D is needed for calcium to be absorbed by the body. Prednisone, which is sometimes taken by people who have IBD, can interfere with the absorption of calcium, decreasing body's ability to use vitamin D. Also, people who are too ill to go outside may not get any Vitamin D from the sun.
Where Vitamin D Is Found
Vitamin D, as well as calcium, is found in fortified milk. However, those who are lactose intolerant and avoid milk products may not be able to receive any vitamin D from this source. Just going out in the sun could provide some of this essential vitamin -- and most people get their vitamin D this way -- but it is still poorly absorbed by the small intestine by those with active Crohn's disease.
Severe Vitamin D Deficiencies
A severe deficiency of vitamin D could lead to osteomalacia, or in the case of children, rickets. Literally, osteomalacia means "soft bones," and people with this condition are susceptible to bone fractures. The usual course of treatment is to supplement the diet with both calcium and vitamin D, and avoid the use of corticosteroids when possible. Therapy with other drugs may also be necessary, depending on the severity of bone density loss.
Supplements and Foods With Vitamin D
People with IBD may need supplements in order to maintain the proper level of vitamin D. Regular monitoring may also be needed in order to track vitamin D levels.
Vitamin D can be found in these food sources:
- Butter and fortified margarines
- Eggs
- Fish liver oils
- Fortified milk and milk powder
- Liver
- Some fortified cereals
Check with your doctor or nutritionist about vitamin and mineral supplements if you are concerned about these, or any other, deficiencies.

This combination of programs was designed in cooperation with Syracuse University's L.C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science (ECS) to benefit students who are interested in technology-oriented practice. A J.D./M.S. from one of the many graduate programs offered through ECS can significantly enhance the scope of your legal education in such areas as intellectual property, technology, and computers. An M.S. in computer science will bring an added dimension to your legal education, increasing your marketability and broadening your career opportunities.
If your undergraduate background fulfills specific requirements, you may obtain both degrees in three academic years and a summer term. However, you may need to complete additional courses if your undergraduate degree is in a different area. Other requirements vary by program.
Here are just a few of the programs offered: computer engineering, computer science, solid-state science and technology, and systems and information science.
The College of Law is the primary school for students enrolled in a joint degree program at Syracuse University. For a joint degree in Computer Science, you will earn 72 law credits plus 30 approved graduate credits. Most joint degree programs may be completed in three years (six semesters) and, potentially, one summer. However, both programs must be completed within four years.
Students seeking dual degrees must apply to both programs separately, and admission to Syracuse University College of Law does not guarantee admission to other graduate programs. Students are required to complete their first year of study at the College of Law and candidates for the joint degree program must obtain advance approval from Syracuse University College of Law. The specific number of credits required for non-law graduate programs may vary depending on each student's previous academic background in the subject area.
In addition, joint degree students are charged College of Law tuition rates only, essentially offering the opportunity to earn two advanced degrees for the price of one.

"Nuclear energy is making a resurgence, and engineering programs around the country are scrambling to try and get back in the game.
With a J.D./M.S. with an emphasis in the nuclear track, one could practice nuclear energy law in Washington, D.C., where there are several firms that work in the area. And as with any engineering degree, one could also practice patent law. Either career path would be enhanced by the addition of an M.S. in Engineering with an emphasis in the nuclear energy track."

S.C.-Based Professional Development Program Helps Teachers Everywhere
Wednesday - May 01, 2013 at 07:52 am
As you may have heard, education has been a popular topic on our Facebook page recently. Why? Because the business community in our state regards quality of education as a top priority. We also recently learned about a teacher-training program, based in South Carolina, that for 20 years now has been helping teachers in all 50 states and even at some overseas schools, seek recertification, a salary increase or professional development.
Mike Switzer interviews Tania McDuffie, a professor at Converse College in Spartanburg and an instructor with TeacherStep.

Guess the basketball season starts on Thursday night when UCLA takes on Westmont College at Pauley (7:30 pm PST on "BruinTV" which I guess is some kind of pain online streaming service). Westmont is an NAIA school. Last year the Bruins started the exhibition season against another NAIA program - Concordia - when they needed a pathetic buzzer beater from MAH to win the game (setting an ominous tone for rest of the season).
Not sure how much we can really make out of Thursday night's game (we will put up an open thread for it). It is going to be interesting to see who Howland starts at PG though. Right now he is not naming his starting PG. During this week's press conference when he was asked about it he noted that we are going to "find out" on Thursday. He didn't answer the question whether the time split between Jerime Anderson and Lazeric Jones will be 50-50. WATCH (thanks Jon for the video):
Howland also said our "defense is lot to be desired." Apparently in this week's practice apparently the guys shot 64% against each other. Interestingly Ben Howland singled out Tyler Lamb later during the press conference for doing a "very good job" defensively (who needs to work on his "jump shots").
He mentioned that Zeke Jones is "further ahead" than any high school freshman pg. He also praised him for being "tough" and not turning the ball over. Zeke apparently needs to work on ball screens and making better decisions in terms of generating the offense. Watch the video to form your own impression. Other tidbits from Gold include:
* I asked several players if the new transition offense was just a wrinkle Howland is trying to incorporate, or if the identity is changing to more of a fast-paced game, and the consensus was that this is a new identity. I'll believe it when I see it.
* Josh Smith did say, however, that at one point during a recent practice, Howland said, "You can't take the ball out of the basket fast enough." That's surprising.
Also from the OC Register on the chatter re. UCLA playing "fast":
"We've all wanted to play (fast)," Honeycutt said. "A lot of people have criticized that we're too slow. I doubt they'll say that we're too slow (now). If anything they'll say we're too fast."
Honestly, I find all the chatter about speeding up our offensive pace a little amusing. It is definitely helpful in terms of pushing a narrative through the tradmed (populated by morons who never understood or appreciated the fact that Howland has always prodded his guys to PUSH THE TEMPO TRIGGERED BY DEFENSE). However, I sure hope the regular members of this community, who have been here since the very first days of Ben Ball infatuation - starting in 05-06 (before Gonzaga bandwagon took effect) - appreciate the fact that Ben Ball has always been about getting fast breaks from defensive stops.
We got fast break points when we had back-courts of JF, AA, DC, and RW - that started with our defense. Guys like AA, DC and RW triggered plenty of fast break points and pushed the tempo through their commitment of defense. That didn't transfer over to the guys like Jerime Anderson and Jrue Holiday, who were more enamored with having a good time in Westwood and fast-tracking to bling bling than building on the tradition built by previous Ben Ball warriors.
Perhaps Malcolm Lee can bring back that kind of defensive leadership again as the captain of this team and reignite the old days of Ben Ball of pushing the tempo triggered by defense, but we will have to see. Similarly we will have to wait and see to find out exactly what Lazeric Jones brings to the table or whether Jerime Anderson is committed to salvaging his career (just like DT, CB and RH did during their closing years at UCLA).
But for now, I have to roll my eyes when I read about the "excitement" around our fast paced offense. It's silly. Let the tradmed guys fall for that. As for rest of us, who really want to follow this team, we need to zero in on our defense, rebounding and fundamentals. If the Bruins don't improve and take a step forward in those categories this upcoming season, none of the happy talk about fast paced offense during this off-season is going to matter.
For the Bruins to get back to the tournament (not back into it like a pathetic bubble team) it will have to start with defensive execution and being fundamentally sound in Howland's half court offense. It would entail fully committing to rebounding and playing Howland's intense brand of physical basketball. Hope guys like Lee, Honeycutt, and Anderson understand and appreciate the need for re-establishing that glorious culture of Ben Ball before getting all wrapped up in silly chatter of pace and tempo.

What is CAT?QRR Credit Analysis Tool (CAT) allows to perform calculations of multiple risk measures for credit portfolios at multiple levels of aggregation, including economic capital, expected loss, VaR, expected shortfall and VaR attribution.
CAT also performs optimization of credit portfolios maximizing the economic benefit. The user can apply multiple restrictions (economic capital, expected loss, …) for each position, business area or for the entire portfolio. The tool allows to compare the optimized portfolio with the original in an easy and comprehensible way.
CAT takes advantage of general purpose graphic processing units (GPGPU) to attain optimal numerical performance when tackling large optimization problems which involve a large number of positions.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Beauty Counter has been in Paris for the past few days to personally congratulate Tom Pecheux on his new collaboration with Estée Lauder, and we have used our time well, if we do say so ourselves. We saw the Yves Saint Laurent exhibit at Le Petit Palais, spent a few nights at Mama Shelter, the City of Light's hip new Kiehl's-stocked boutique hotel, and indulged in a piece of Viktor & Rolf's fragrance-inspired Flower Bomb dessert designed exclusively for Le Meurice, after which we took an elevator ride with monsieurs Snoeren and Horsting themselves (they happened to be staying at the hotel, just one floor below us). We also had the unique opportunity to talk shop with a few of our international peers, who turned us on to Lucas' Papaw Ointment. Developed in Queensland a century ago by Australian botanist T. P. Lucas, the sweet-smelling balm utilizes the papaw fruit, a.k.a. papaya, and its antiseptic properties to treat a host of skin issues from cuts and scrapes to dry patches, under-eye wrinkles, and chapped lips. It's a little bit like Eight Hour Cream but with a more natural bent. A cult favorite down under and in the U.K., it's available through select Web outlets in the states, but we've decided to bring a tube back with us on the plane to New York anyway. In-flight dehydration issues don't stand a chance.
OMG – my father used to use this back in the late 80s and early 90s. He had a friend from Australia who used to bring back little jars for him from down under. This stuff cures EVERYTHING. Seriously. Cracked cuticles, cuts, chapped lips, cold sores, the whole shebang.
I'm actually surprised more brands DON'T use papaya. It's practically a super-fruit. Perhaps we'll see a revival…

Eating Fresh? Subway Will Remove Controversial Chemical From Bread
Subway has been hailed as a fast food company that is a gold mine even for health-conscious consumers. Just last week, Michelle Obama ate lunch at the restaurant before hosting a press conference at a Subway in Washington, D.C., recognizing the chain for joining her healthy eating initiative and agreeing to add nutritious foods to its kids menu. But recent news surrounding Subway still isn't all good, although soon, the company pledges that it will be.
According to CNN, Subway responded to its consumers' concerns this week when it promised that it would remove a chemical from its breads that is used by commercial bakers for the purpose of strengthening dough. Azodiacarbonamide is not only a dough conditioner, it is also a chemical used to increase elasticity in everything from yoga mats to shoe rubber to synthetic leather, and though it is a USDA and FDA approved ingredient, Subway lovers want it removed. Azodiacarbonamide is banned in the UK, Europe, and Australia.
CNN reports that the Center for Science in the Public interest has long advocated for reducing the amount of chemical that is allowed to be used in the U.S., as the agency argues that the controversial chemical has been poorly tested; however, it was food blogger Van Hari, of the popular food blog, Food Babe, who successfully drew significant attention to the issue when she first starting talking about Subway's potentially harmful ingredients in 2012.
This week, Hari launched a petition urging Subway to stop using azodiacarbonamide, amassing more than 67,000 signatures, and Subway responded to the petition with the statement, "We are already in the process of removing azodiacarbonamide as part of our bread improvement efforts despite the fact that it is a USDA and FDA approved ingredient. The complete conversion to have this product out of the bread will be done soon."

QueenofSheba (@lisasdeang) March 19, 2013
Press secretary Carney, in yet another White House act of war on women, sneered at Jenna Lee when she asked why White House tours were cancelled, but the Easter Egg Roll was not:
Carney snapped "Well, actually, Jenna, again, if you did a little reporting you'd know that the Easter Egg Roll is open for a lot of military families. It's paid for by the sale of those eggs that come out as well as donations from the outside."
And make him a sammich! Hmm. Practice what you condescendingly preach, toots! As Twitchy reported, the White House is now threatening to cancel the Easter Egg Roll. Because, sequester!
Megyn Kelly took took in on this afternoon.
Great. @megynkelly is taking on Jay Carney's cheap shot at @Jennafnc which now appears that Carney's entire premise was false.—

The $1 million Florida Derby (G1) is a major prep for the Kentucky Derby, run 5 weeks before the big event. A field of 8 three-year-olds went 1 1/8 miles at Gulfstream on Sunday, with Fountain of Youth Stakes (G2) winner Union Rags was sent off as the 2-5 favorite, his lone career defeat occurring in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1). In to challenge him included 5-2 second choice El Padrino, winner of the Risen Star (G2) at Fair Grounds last out, and 7-1 third choice Take Charge Indy, winless since his debut and exiting a runner-up effort in an allowance.
Jockey Calvin Borel sent Take Charge Indy to the rail and to the lead first time past the stands, and he set easy fractions of 23.60, 47.71, and 1:12.09 over the fast track, while pressed by 31-1 Reveron to his outside. Union Rags stalked the pace about 3 lengths back in 5th. Entering the stretch, the pacesetters continued to hold onto the lead, getting the mile in 1:35.96. Union Rags put in a strong rally but Take Charge Indy easily held off Reveron late by 1 length for the win in 1:48.79. It was just a neck back to Union Rags third.

I'm sorry that i'm spamming the diary section with this, but this article, from the SportsIllustrated archives gave me goosebumps! Pleeeaaase check it out - i guarantee that it will sweeten your day.
TAGS: 1992, Elway, Kubiak, Oilers, Playoffs, The Drive...
[Editor's Note: styg50] I enjoyed this article so much it got me thinking about one of the of the other Elway articles (rare from SI) that I liked. You can read it
This is the mega article they ran , and is as deeply respectful of Elway and his career up to that point that you could ask for from SI. I was really impressed. I should mention however that SI at the time this was written was pretty much anti-Elway, and the only way this got through the editor's iron grip was becuase they were convinced that he was done torturing them and their picadillos. It was quite satisfying to me to see Elway go ahead and tag on the two superbowls to finish things off.
Great job finding that article Claaas!

CATEGORIES Movies"War Horse"
Nominated For: Best Picture, Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Original Score, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing
What's It About: The Narracotts are a farming family struggling to survive in the pre-WWI era. Stubborn father Ted purchases a horse (Joey) up for auction, and his son Albert is smitten almost immediately. The two develop a special bond as Joey grows. Then the unthinkable happens: Ted sells Joey to the war effort, and he's shipped to the front lines. Albert makes it his life mission to reunite with Joey, no matter what the cost.
Why You Should See It: If you're a Steven Spielberg fan and you like dramatic, wholesome, feel-good stories, then this is the movie for you. As you can probably tell from the nominations, the film is beautiful and a real feast for the eyes. With the exception of one particularly tough-to-watch scene, "War Horse" is an ode to the expansive pastures of the UK, a revealing look at the harshness of war, and a story of the love between man and beast.
It's Kind of Like: "Secretariat," but replace horse racing with war, and Diane Lane with Jeremy Irvine.
How You Can See It: In some theaters now.

Urostomy Fact Sheet
Urostomy (Urinary Diversion): A surgically created opening in the abdominal wall through which urine passes. A urostomy may be performed when the bladder is either not functioning or has to be removed. There are several different types of surgeries, but the most common are ileal conduit and colonic conduit.
Reasons for surgery:
Bladder cancer, spinal cord injuries, malfunction of the bladder and birth defects such as spina bifida.
Care of urostomy:
A pouching system is worn. Pouches are odor free and different manufacturers have disposable or reusable varieties to fit your lifestyle. Ostomy supplies are available at drug stores, medical supply stores and through the mail.
Living with a urostomy:
Work: With the possible exception of jobs requiring very heavy lifting, a urostomy should not interfere with work. People with urostomies are successful business people, teachers, carpenters, welders, etc.
Sex and social life: Sexual function is influenced by the reasons for which the urostomy is performed. The urostomy itself should not intefere with normal sexual activity or pregnancy. It does not prevent one from dating, marriage or having children.
Clothing: Usually one is able to wear the same clothing as before surgery including swimwear.
Sports and activities: With a securely attached pouch one can swim, camp out, play baseball and participate in practically all types of sports. Caution is advised in heavy body contact sports. Travel is not restricted in any way.
Diet: Usually there are no dietary restrictions and foods can be enjoyed as before. It is suggested that 8-10 glasses of fluid per day be consumed to help decrease the chance of kidney infection.
Resources available:
The physician and medical professionals are the first source of help. Specially trained nurses called Wound, Ostomy Continence Nurses (WOCN) are available for consultation in most major medical centers.
The United Ostomy Associations of America (UOAA) is a group comprised of many local support groups throughout the United States. These local groups hold meetings and provide support to prospective and existing ostomates. They sponsor educational events and have qualified visitors to make personal or telephone visits. Contact the UOAA at 1-800-826-0826 to locate the support group nearest you.
Visit the UOAA web site at www.ostomy.org. It contains a great deal of information and discussion boards and many links to other sites, suppliers and resources.
Note: More detailed information can be found in the Urostomy Guidebook (Adobe PDF, 180 kB) which can be downloaded from this website.

continued "This committee needs to be ready to say this is what will be part of the plan," he said. "There will be things at this point that the committee really needs to look into."
After decisions are made, the consultants will then work on a draft plan, which would also include alternatives and would be followed by the third public meeting.
"That will give people the chance to review the draft plan and we can come back from that and make changes if needed," Weidmann said. "This is different from the study, because this plan is what the committee will be recommending to the village as the course of action."
The final two months would be focused on finalizing the plan and holding a public hearing on the proposal.
"Once the hearing is complete, we can make final revisions," Weidmann said. "That becomes the committee's recommendation to the village board for them to put up for a vote. The village board then gets to make its decision."
Weidmann said that there have been boards that have voted to move forward with the plan, some that have chosen to place it on file for a later date or not acted on it at all.

Gillis of NYTimes Again Discredits Warming Skeptics Who 'Plaster the Internet'; Have No 'Serious Credentials'
The New York Times's confessed climate activist (and journalist) Justin Gillis made Tuesday's front page with a 2,500-word story on what he called the last line of defense for climate change skeptics: "Clouds' Effect on Climate Change Is Last Bastion for Dissenters."
Gillis, a true believer, proudly told the Columbia Journalism Review in April that it was a "scandal" the media was failing to connect the dots between "weird weather" events and permanent climate change, and compared climate-change skeptics to people who don't believe in evolution.
On Tuesday, Gillis tackled clouds:
For decades, a small group of scientific dissenters has been trying to shoot holes in the prevailing science of climate change, offering one reason after another why the outlook simply must be wrong.
Over time, nearly every one of their arguments has been knocked down by accumulating evidence, and polls say 97 percent of working climate scientists now see global warming as a serious risk.
Yet in recent years, the climate change skeptics have seized on one last argument that cannot be so readily dismissed. Their theory is that clouds will save us.
They acknowledge that the human release of greenhouse gases will cause the planet to warm. But they assert that clouds -- which can either warm or cool the earth, depending on the type and location -- will shift in such a way as to counter much of the expected temperature rise and preserve the equable climate on which civilization depends.
Richard S. Lindzen, a professor of meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is the leading proponent of the view that clouds will save the day. His stature in the field -- he has been making seminal contributions to climate science since the 1960s -- has amplified his influence.
Gillis noted Lindzen's "idea has drawn withering criticism from other scientists, who cite errors in his papers and say proof is lacking."
However, politicians looking for reasons not to tackle climate change have embraced Dr. Lindzen and other skeptics, elevating their role in the public debate.
Gillis nodded along to scare-mongering scientists.
While the scientific majority acknowledges that the lingering uncertainty about clouds plays into the hands of skeptics like Dr. Lindzen, they say that he has gone beyond any reasonable reading of the evidence to provide a dangerous alibi for inaction.
Dr. Lindzen is "feeding upon an audience that wants to hear a certain message, and wants to hear it put forth by people with enough scientific reputation that it can be sustained for a while, even if it's wrong science," said Christopher S. Bretherton, an atmospheric researcher at the University of Washington. "I don't think it's intellectually honest at all."
With climate policy nearly paralyzed in the United States, many other governments have also declined to take action, and worldwide emissions of greenhouse gases are soaring.
Among the many climate skeptics who plaster the Internet with their writings, hardly any have serious credentials in the physics of the atmosphere. But a handful of contrarian scientists do. The most influential is Dr. Lindzen.
Gillis laid out Lindzen's theory that what surface temperature rises, the number of cirrus clouds will decrease, counteracting the increase of greenhouse gases.
Today, most mainstream researchers consider Dr. Lindzen's theory discredited. He does not agree, but he has had difficulty establishing his case in the scientific literature. Dr. Lindzen published a paper in 2009 offering more support for his case that the earth's sensitivity to greenhouse gases is low, but once again scientists identified errors, including a failure to account for known inaccuracies in satellite measurements.
Gillis advocated panic as the logical choice:
Dr. Lindzen blames groupthink among climate scientists for his publication difficulties, saying the majority is determined to suppress any dissenting views. They, in turn, contend that he routinely misrepresents the work of other researchers.
"If I'm right, we'll have saved money" by avoiding measures to limit emissions, Dr. Lindzen said in the interview. "If I'm wrong, we'll know it in 50 years and can do something."
But mainstream scientists counter that society's impulse to wait only heightens the risks.
Ultimately, as the climate continues warming and more data accumulate, it will become obvious how clouds are reacting. But that could take decades, scientists say, and if the answer turns out to be that catastrophe looms, it would most likely be too late. By then, they say, the atmosphere would contain so much carbon dioxide as to make a substantial warming inevitable, and the gas would not return to a normal level for thousands of years.

This clown sounds about as Dobie Gillis was. Any LSM "journalist" or "climate warming/cooling believer" has a big problem right from the start. Their minds are so closed that they can't see both sides. It is scary that this "doctor" just won't open his mind. The weather crowd can be stopped real fast, cut off the government money. Then all at once things will be OK. It's all about the money folks.

Mr. Gillis has already proven his lack of scientfic knowledge and understanding. He lack basic credibility within the community and his considered a flake at best and a charletan out worse. Even the crazies at the AGW group and conference stay well clear of him and will never admit that he is a member of their community.
Since we are talking about the New York Times that support and employ the flake population of New York without credibility (Gillis and Krugmann)it is understandable that they proclaim them heros of the far left wing of dingbats. The professional community will never embrace them so the moron community will have to for political reasons

Submitted by redfish on Tue, 05/01/2012 - 4:19pm.
The whole tone of the editorial is political and really misses the point. Most people who we call "skeptics" never denied that humans are affecting the climate, they were just arguing against the "alarmists" who said the Earth would suffer a cataclysmic meltdown in 10 years. The argument was about the degree of change that was affected by humans. Already, models created by alarmists have been forced to be modified because of arguments by skeptics. The IPPC model first excluded the effects of solar activity, now because of the arguments by skeptics, it now includes it. Lindzen's research will also likely add another variable to add to the models.
The overall end point is not to disprove global warming, but to show its much less of an immediate a worry that alarmists make it out to be. We have time to sort things out. We won't all die because the Kyoto Treaty isn't approved this year.

"For decades, a small group of scientific dissenters has been trying to shoot holes in the prevailing science of climate change, offering one reason after another why the outlook simply must be wrong."
And this is, what, surprising, in the scientific world? That's how it works, and it works very well, for if it didn't E=MC2 would still be the pipe dream of a long dead Patent Clerk, for just one example. How dare this Jewish dissident challenge scientific community's agreement of the theory that gravity is a force, like magnetism! Gravity is the curvature of space-time? Balderdash!
"Today, most mainstream researchers consider Dr. Lindzen's theory discredited."
Just like they did for Newton, eh? The Earth's not the center of the Universe? Balderdash!
"Over time, nearly every one of their arguments has been knocked down by accumulating evidence, and polls say 97 percent of working climate scientists now see global warming as a serious risk."
What "accumulating evidence" is that? You don't bother to give us any. And you have a problem with people who give contrary evidence? What a hypocrite!
By the way, science isn't run on polls, it's run on demonstrable, repeatable experimentation which tends to support the theory. Where's this experimentation that's supposed to "prove" the "science" of climate change? All we've been offered to date are observations and speculation. Not a single experiment has been conducted that indicates that increasing CO2 concentrations of less than one percent of total volume (and what humans are producing with OUR emissions are a hell of a lot less than that, it's on the order of one thousand of one percent per decade) actually increased temperatures to such an extent that it will shift the balance of a climate system. All we've been provided so far is SPECULATION! So, once again, where's this supposed evidence? There isn't any.

The salient point to the "consensus"
97 percent of working climate scientists
Note my emphasis on the word "working". It's not surprising that, almost universally, the people who need global warming for a career and paycheck support the consensus. Retired climate scientists, who are no longer sucking the government grant tit, aren't counted because we know that they would knock that 97% number down quite a bit. Plus any climate scientist not supporting the global warming "consensus" won't get grant money, and therefore, won't be working either. Nice little tautology they have going for themselves.
My question is where do the 3% dissenters come from? In the land of climatology heterogeneity, I don't know how even 1% of climate scientists can still be working without swearing to the consensus.
Maybe they're the ones who are being funded by all those "mega oil bucks" the climate nazis like to talk about.

Hey all just wanted to offer a big thank you on behalf of us Colts fan. This past week saw a little over 800 comments between the troll thread and informative thread. Neither of which got out of hand which is always a positive.
The Redskins did some impressive things yesterday against the Colts and many of us have a new found respect for McNabb especially. The man was Houdini escaping rush after rush. It was quite impressive. It turns out you were all also right on how effing hard the Skins hit. Several nagging injuries and one big one have sprung up from this game and we're lucky to have faced you before the bye week. We really need it now.
You have a pretty solid team and well be competitive this year and if you can add weapon or two for McNabb you may be a shoe in for the NFC East next year. Good luck with the rest of your season and thanks again for the banter all week.

Byron Scott and the Myth (?) of Player Development
There are things that we think and things that we know.
We may think that Kobe Bryant is a better player than LeBron James. We think it because we want to think it. Part of us wants it to be true. It's the same part that made the exact opposite argument when LBJ was playing for CLE and Kobe was a tad more in his prime (and, viewership, if any of you ever tells Kobe, even 20 years from now, that I ever insinuated that he is passing his prime, I swear to god I will drug you, dress you up in my clothes [they're not bad … you like western shirts, right?] and prop your body in some believably "Robert" position [or, barring that, the Heisman pose] in front of one of my apartment's windows – because Kobe will be coming to cut my ass [which will actually be your … well, you see what I'm saying]).
But we knew we were wrong then – because the numbers told us we were probably wrong – and we know we're wrong now, because numbers have always loved LeBron James and no year more so than this one.
Likewise, there are things that we think about Byron Scott as head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers and what his effect has been on some of the team's younger players – and there are things that we know. We may think that he's not the world's best tactician. We may think it's only a matter of time before his style causes his players to tune him out. We may think that the Cavs are clearly playing better basketball this year and that Coach Scott has to be given some credit for the overall improvement in the team's culture from last year to this.
Maybe we even know some of those things.
But sometimes it can be pretty tricky to tell the difference.
Now, I always liked Mike Brown. I liked Mike Brown, mostly, because Mike Brown won more games as head coach of the Cavs than anyone had in a very long time. He also didn't seem like a dick, which was nice. He won with a superstar player playing for him – though he never won so much to cover over his obvious weaknesses as a coach. He was not overly concerned with offense. And he was not good at developing young players.
During his tenure, only Daniel Gibson went from rookie to rotation player – and he yo-yoed in Brown's esteem, partly, it seems, because of injury and partly because Daniel Gibson was never going to be 6'8" Sasha Pavlovic (it's okay, Boobie … there are worse things to never be in your life).
Enter Byron Scott – and suddenly the same player who couldn't get regular minutes for a defensive-minded coach has become the team's best perimeter defender, and a key member of an athletic, versatile bench that – when everyone's healthy – can help this young team compete.
Now, I'm going to take Bryon Scott's word for a lot of this, but he talked about taking Gibson under his wing and Gibson has seemed to have a strong relationship with the former shooting guard from jump.
And this season's "project" player for Scott, Alonzo Gee, is also demonstrating a more polished, effective game and threatening to break into the starting line-up.
Coach Scott, while admittedly dealing with a completely different set of expectations from the fans as the organization rebuilds, seems to be able to target younger players and work with them to become more consistent contributors for a competitive team.
Except, according to the numbers, none of that is true. We just think it's true.
Under Scott, Gibson is playing the most minutes per game (in 2010-11 and 2011-12) since his career high-water mark of 2007-08. But his PER this season (don't you fall asleep on me! I know you don't like it when I talk advanced statistics – I don't like it either – but I promise I'll only say PER, like, three more times…) is a career low. And even last year, when his PER (two more times) was his best in six seasons, it was still short of the average for an NBA player.
And as for Alonzo Gee: his stats are startlingly similar to last year's. He's just playing a few more minutes this year. His PER (one more) is up by about a point but, again, short of the pro average.

It's been a busy day at the Jefferson County Health Department.
"Maybe five or six...I know that I've talked to," Stephanie Ayers-Millsap said.
Ayers-Millsap is the Disease Intervention Program Manager at the health department. She says since it was announced, Tuesday, about the meningitis scare reaching Alabama her phone has been ringing.
"We've had concerned citizens that's had some of these types of procedures," she said. "Injections, wondering if their facility received them."
Received products from the NECC.
Alabama didn't receive medications with implications of meningitis, but it did receive medicines from the company. Now the biggest concern becomes finding those products.
"We are following up at the state level," Ayers-Millsap said. "Any providers that might have received medicines from that particular company."
Ayers-Millsap says meningitis is not uncommon. However, this type is somewhat foreign to the community and health care providers.
"Usually, bacteria, as well as the viral are what we follow-up on most commonly," she said. "And this particular fungal infections is one that we don't usually see."
And while the state tries to determine how severe this problem is, Ayers-Millsap admits there's no telling how far the ripple effect could spread.
"It's an ongoing investigation," she said. "And it's one that, in talks with the calls and CDC, one that they have not had, so it's hard to say what we will see later."
Ayers-Millsap encourages anyone who might be experiencing symptoms like fever, nausea, vomiting and stiff neck, and who had a procedure at one of the mentioned health care facilities, to contact their physician immediately.

Softball Falls To Florida Atlantic, 4-0 & 4-2
May 3, 2004
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Junior righthander Stacy Bell (Jacksonville/Terry Parker) held Florida Atlantic scoreless for 9.0 innings, but the Owls rallied in the 10th en route to a 4-0, extra-inning win over JU Monday afternoon at the JU Softball Complex. The Owls (48-15, 15-3 A-Sun) held on for a 4-2 win in the nightcap, despite a late rally by the Dolphins who had runners on base in two of the last three innings.
Florida Atlantic broke open a scoreless game with no outs in the top of the 10th inning when shortstop Jenna Lopez doubled down the right field line scoring Ginny Matthews, who was placed at second to start the inning as part of the international tiebreaker rule. The Owls added another run on a pinch-hit single by Pam Mazzarella and then left fielder Jenn Piazza lined a two-run homer to left for the 4-0 lead.
Bell suffered the loss for JU (22-41, 5-15 A-Sun), allowing four runs (three earned) on nine hits, while striking out six in 9.1 innings of work. Candice Freel threw a complete-game shutout for FAU, scattering three hits and striking out eight.
Florida Atlantic jumped out a 2-0 lead in game two, thanks to a two-run homer by Jessica Braggins in the top of the first. The Owls added one in the second on a run-scoring double by Matthews and one in the third on an RBI single by Braggins, as FAU put together three consecutive hits.
JU scored twice in the fourth to cut the deficit to 4-2. Centerfielder Monica McGee (Starke, Fla.), who led the Dolphins with two hits, singled to lead off the inning. She moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Lauren Redfern (Jacksonville/Sandalwood) and then scored when third baseman Sonja Cadarette (Jacksonville/Sandalwood) laced a single down the right field line. Two batters later, freshman Stephanie Beasley (Tallahassee, Fla.) had an RBI-double to right center for JU's final run.
Sophomore righthander Katie Dobson (Clearwater, Fla.) suffered the loss in game two, allowing four runs on nine hits with four strikeouts in 7.0 innings of work. Ashley Greene earned the win for Florida Atlantic allowing two runs on four hits in 5.0 innings of relief.
JU concludes the 2004 season on Wednesday against No. 17 South Florida at 5 p.m. at the JU Softball Complex.

The Whole Wide World
Jesus January 12th, 2008
Last night at Youth Group, we watched this video from the Chris Tomlin "How Great is Our God Tour" and I was seriously blown away, like so blown away its taken me till now to get back to tell everyone what I learned. They had this teacher come out and talk about God, and he said he was going to talk about how big God is. He started talking about how many Earths could fit inside the Sun…I don't remember the exact number but it was a lot. Then he talked about stars that were even bigger than the Sun…and how many Earths could fit in there. One of the stars, I think it was Pollux is 31 light years away, he said a light year was 5.88 trillion miles, he said we could do the math on our own, I'm IB, long story short, I did.
Pollux is 182.28 trillion miles away from Earth. And that's not even the farthest away, that's just in our galaxy. Can you imagine how unbelievably huge the universe is? How unbelievably huge the God who created it is? (At this point I will mention that when I told the group I had done the math in my head during the video, they all said "Of course you did" and I got one "Holy smartness" ) Then there was the largest star discovered so far, Canis Majoris (the teacher says he thinks that means "The Big Dog" heehee).
He had related the size of the Earth to a golf ball in relation to the other stars, like "If the earth was a golf ball, Sirius would be the height of six Empire State Buildings stacked." Well, in relation to Canis Majoris, the amount of earths it would take to fill Canis Majoris is the same amount of golf balls it would take to cover the ground of the state of Texas – 22 inches deep. That's a big star. He spoke about how in the Bible it says that God breathed out the stars…He breathed out Canis Majoris. That's intense.
So not only is his mouth big enough to breathe that out, but that's like his oxygen. Think about that the next time you exhale and you cant even see the individual carbon dioxide molecules leaving your body…I told you, I was blown away. How can there be any other explanation if not this, that God created the Universe. I can't see how anyone can believe evolution, or that a universe like this exploded out of nothing. I'm sorry, but I'm just not buying it.
The Sun is the tiny dot, Canis Majoris is the large beastly mass next to it.
Then go here, and watch the really sweet video of the planets and their size.
He also mentioned this really cool thing called Laminin. He called it the cell that is the "glue that holds our body together." I don't know exactly what it does…but it's a big thing apparently. The best part though is seeing Laminin. So you have to Google Laminin and then go to images. Partly because I don't want to put any more images on here, partly because I want you to be in suspense, and partly because you'll be blown away and since that is the case, I shall see you tomorrow when you return.

At the Ladies Retreat last weekend, one of the speakers said that she was reading Genesis and it said "and he also created the stars" as if it was an afterthought. And that spoke to her, because if God creating the stars (and there are SO many of them) was so small to Him, that our problems and issues are nothing to Him.

Roberta M. Humphreys (2006) estimates the radius of VY CMa at 1800 to 2100 solar radii. If our Sun was replaced with VY Canis Majoris, its surface would extend to the orbit of Saturn (circumference of 5.4 billion miles). Assuming 2100 solar radii, light would take more than 8 hours to travel around the star's circumference.
Similarly, if a human could walk on the surface of Canis Majoris – assuming a speed of 3 mph for 8 hours a day – the person would have to walk for 650,000 years to circle Canis Majoris (compared with 2 years 11 months to complete the same task on the Earth, and 310 years 7 months on the Sun).

Reality TV, films, stage and now modelling – is there anything Playing It Straight's Danny Denkmayer can't do? The Essex boy tells GT why being rejected for his sexuality has only made him stronger
For a man who's just been mugged, Danny Denkmayer is looking pretty darned good.
The night before he sits down with GT, a man trying to steal his bag smacked him over the head and back with a skateboard in Leicester Square. Four hours in A&E followed and now the injuries are beginning to show.
"I've got this bruise on my forehead," he explains, pointing to a Harry Potter-esque red mark, "and this one on my shoulder. But I'm lucky as it could have been a lot worse."
It's another story to add to the complex but brief life of the 21-year-old Essex boy.
Since finding fame as one of the contestants on e4's reality show Playing It Straight, the former hairdresser has acted in a Richard Curtis film, is about to take to the stage in a play and has become the face – and crotch – of underwear label Lick.
"Modelling underwear is quite an intimate thing," he explains. "You're either a shower or a grower. And when I'm nervous or its cold, I'm not packing out much, so I'm more of a grower. It's annoying because that's great for the bedroom but shit for photoshoots!"
We don't think Danny has much to worry about in that department. Or any other department for that matter. Because his shy yet cheeky personality has already got him this far – that and the fact he's one of the most grown-up 21-year-olds we've met in a long time. And much of that has come with him being comfortable with his sexuality.
"My first crush was a piano teacher at primary school," he recalls, "but we were told at school it's normal for boys to have crushes on boys, it doesn't mean anything, it's all part of growing up.
To read the full article, pick up the latest copy of GT out in all good retailers, online and downloadable on your iPhone or iPad.
