Americans are sometimes ambivalent about their technology. We love the ATM when it works--and hate it when it doesn't. A similar love-hate relationship applies to the invention and development of our voting machines. The recent past has shown how strained and tortuous that relationship could become, with a growing lack of confidence in the patchwork of vote-recording systems used throughout the United States.
Because the Constitution gives states the job of running elections, voting in the United States has developed into a hodgepodge of manual, mechanical, and electronic balloting. Almost every method of vote counting, from the paper-slip ballots used in rural New Hampshire to the gear-and-lever machines of New York to the Votomatic punch-card booklet pioneered in California, is used in some corner of the country today. If there is an advantage to the lack of conformity in what otherwise might be a national ballot, it is that this mix of systems cannot be easily "gamed." That, too, is a local matter. Like voting, politics is local. Thus the love-hate.
For most of the 19th century, individual parties created ballots with only their candidates' names listed and voters deposited these single-party tickets into a jar or box. But the introduction of the Australian or blanket ballot put the entire contest on a large, single sheet of paper that the voter marked, choosing from all candidates arranged in columns or rows by party. At the same time, mechanical counters added to ballot boxes prevented ballot "stuffing." Simple mechanical security features, and the arrangement of the ballot in columns and rows, are very much with us today.
The gear-and-lever machines of the 1890s rendered the blanket ballot in steel. Instead of marking a paper, the voter entered the machine, drew the curtain unlocking the levers for voting, and then set the levers indicating the desired votes. Opening the curtain tabulated the votes on odometer-like dials at the back of the machine. At the end of the day, the machine was opened and the totals were tabulated by hand. Weighing in at around one thousand pounds apiece, the machines offered certain protection against outright theft. The expense of the machines was offset by the consolidation of election districts that had previously tallied paper ballots by hand. By 1960 more than half of the electorate voted using gear-and-lever machines.
However, in 1962 Joseph K. Harris, then professor emeritus of the Government Studies Department of the University of California at Berkeley, conceived the Hollerith (named for Herman Hollerith, who invented the punched-card mechanical tabulator) punch-card voting system known as the Votomatic. About the size of a pizza box, the Votomatic harnessed the processing power of the IBM mainframe (the dominant Hollerith card-reading technology at the time) to the economics of polling large election districts then using gear-and-lever voting machines to tabulate long, complex ballots with multiple offices, candidates, and referenda.
Other states moved directly from hand-tallied ballots to machine-read optical-scan ballots. The consolidation of the vote-recording business after the Florida recount debacle of 2000 effectively retired the Votomatic system, leaving standing the optical-scan system, electronic touch screens (with or without paper printers), and a comparative handful of gear-and-lever machines.
Any voting system must win the confidence of the electorate in order to be successful. What is often overlooked in that equation is the tactile experience of casting a vote--whether it involves filling in an oval with a pencil, completing an arrow, striking a punch through a prescored Hollerith card, or clicking the levers into place and experiencing the ker-chunk of the gears opening the curtain of a thousand-pound machine. For all of its efficiencies, the touch-screen systems adopted after 2000 are hardly satisfying in this regard. While most of the systems that were purchased have been criticized for not offering the voter a paper receipt, would you really need a receipt if the machine had rows of levers to throw, a scratchy pencil or pen to mark, and a solid ker-chunk?

Mr. T Likes The Double-Shot Espresso
It was a day that will live in infamy, forever.
I was literally three minutes from my house when I decided that the best possible course of action for me and my creative lunchtime curse of MSG-fatigue (without eating any MSG of course) would be a trip to the local Starbucks Coffee where I could grab a drink that was as far from the original invention of coffee as it could ever be. You know, something with foam and sugar and chocolate covered coffee beans and fruit sorbet and the whole kitchen sink. I would walk right in there and sidle up to the counter and order my candy-coated coffee drink with enthusiasm.
That is, of course, until I saw him.
If you're a child of the 80's, you are probably extremely familiar with Mr. T. From his role as Clubber Lang in the hit boxing flick Rocky III or his role as the curmudgeony B. A. Baracus from TV's The A-Team — this is the guy who made the mohawk famous along with his trademark phrase, "I Pity The Fool!"
Well… Mr. T was standing right in front of me in line.
It was then that I tuned my eavesdropping ears into the conversation in front of me, in which Mr. T picked out two chocolate covered graham crackers (for dipping) and ordered a double-shot espresso. Yes, that's right — Mr. T, a guy with more energy and moxie than the entire city of Los Angeles, was ordering up additional adrenaline in the form of a dark, thick liquid. It was awesome.
And I had to say something or else I'd regret it.
I waited long enough for him and I to clear the counter and the ordering scenario before I placed myself right in front of him:
Me: "Hi, Mr. T."
Mr. T looked at me and you could see it in his face. Anyone who calls him Mr. T and not by his real name must have questions about his career, his relationship with Sly Stallone, his time on The A-Team… He was cautious, and for good reason.
Mr. T: "Hey."
He turned back away from me, waiting for his double-shot espresso.
Me: "Uh, Mr. T? Can I ask you a question?"
He turned back towards me, cautious.
Mr. T: "Yeah, yeah. What is your question?"
It was a question that I had wanted to ask since, well…forever.
Me: "Do you still pity the fool? I mean, or was that just an 80's thing or something?"
[A beat.]
Mr. T: "Do I still…what?"
Me: "You know…do you still pity the fool? Like you used to pity those fools in the 80's? I mean, you went around all over the place and on the TV pitying the fools but then suddenly you just stopped saying it…but people sometimes stop saying trademark phrases they're known for but still…you know…still think it, or hold those kind of ideas close to them…"
Mr. T: "You're kidding me…right?"
I wasn't.
Me: "No, well… No."
By that point, Mr. T's double-shot espresso was ready and they called him but not by the Mr. T name but by another name altogether. It was a startling, weird moment as he glared at me, then picked up his energy elixir. It was then, coffee in hand, that he swung back around — face to face.
Mr. T: "I pity the fool who has to ask me if I still pity the fool."
It was the coolest thing Mr. T could have ever said to me. And it convinced me, that yes, even though someone stops pitying a fool in public doesn't mean they've stopped pitying fools altogether. Mr. T proved that to me along with one very important detail…
Mr. T likes the double-shot espresso.

Bleed - Extension (1/8") of image areas
printed beyond the trim size of a sheet or page. This allows
the image to spill off the edge of the page.
CMYK - The four colors used to create
a spectrum of shades in four-color process work. (cyan,
magenta, yellow, and black)
Comp (comprehensive) - A rapidly drawn
but high-quality sketch intended for presentation purposes.
Traditionally comps are created as quick color sketches
done in marker, often used for client presentations especially
in advertising and architecture. A comp is usually intended
to be a very close approximation to the final production
image so that it can easily be evaluated without the ambiguity
of a rough sketch.
Copy - All written material in editing
and typesetting, is referred to as "copy." In graphic design
and printing, copy can include everything to be printed:
art, photographs, and graphics, as well as type.
Cover stock - A heavy paper stock made
for the covers of books or brochures, folders, pamphlets.
Die - A device used for cutting, scoring,
stamping, embossing, and de‑embossing.
Dot gain - The amount that an ink halftone
dot expands when applied to the surface of a paper. This
is usually a factor of the type of press and the absorbency
of the paper.
Duotone - An image that uses two different
overlapping halftone screens in different spot colors to
create a toned effect.
Dummy - Drawing showing layout of type
and graphics.
Finish - A term referring to the appearance
of the surface of a paper.
Flexography - A method of printing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printing)
most commonly used for packaging (labels, tape, bags, boxes,
banners, etc.). A flexographic print is made by creating
a positive image on a rubber plate. Then a measured amount
of ink (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ink)
is deposited upon the surface of the printing plate (or
printing cylinder) using an engraved anilox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anilox)
roll whose texture holds a specific amount of ink. The print
surface then rotates, contacting the print material, which
transfers the ink.
Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) - The
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international organization
that brings people together to find solutions that promote
responsible stewardship of the world's forests.
Four-Color Process - Technique of printing
that uses process colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black)
to simulate full-color images.
Grain - In paper, the direction in which
fibers are aligned.
Halftone - An irregular pattern of tiny
dots that can be used to print a full range of tones. Halftone
screens are used to print reproductions of photographs and
artwork that are not line art. Multiple halftones are combined
in process color to give the illusion of a full-color image.
Hard Copy - Copy on paper, as opposed
to on electronic storage.
Line art - Any artwork or type in which
there are no gray tones; all image areas are either black
or white. Shading may be accomplished by such techniques
as stippling or cross-hatching. Line art can be reproduced
without using a halftone screen.
Line screen - The frequency, or fineness
of a halftone or screen, expressed in lines per inch (lpi).
Coarse screens are used where dot gain is high, fine screens
where highest quality is required. This is usually a function
of the type of printing press and the paper specification.
Common values are 85, 100, 120, 133 and 150 lpi.
Moire - Undesirable pattern in halftones
and screen tints made with improperly aligned screens. Pronounced
Monotone - An image that uses a halftone
screen printed in a single spot color to create a toned
Offset - The method of traditional printing
where ink is applied to paper by first transferring the
ink from a printing plate to a set of rollers and then from
the rollers onto paper. This indirect or offset method is
still the most common type of printing press.
Opacity - That property of paper that
minimizes the "show-through" of printing from the opposite
side or the next sheet.
Orphan - Single line of type appearing
as first line of a column or page.
Pixel - Acronym for "Picture Element",
dot made by a computer, scanner or other digital device.
PMS (Pantone Matching System) - Commonly
used initials of Pantone, Inc., trade names for ink colors
in that company's color matching system. The PMS system
is used to provide consistency in the communications of
color standards.
Process color - The method of applying
color to a printed project that uses only four (4) inks
to depict all colors. The four colors are Cyan, Magenta,
Yellow and Black. This process is also known as CMYK color.
Register - Fitting of two or more printed
images, usually in different colors, in precise alignment
with each other.
Serif - Short line crossing the ends of
main strokes of characters in some type families.
Sheet Fed - The process of feeding a press
with individual sheets. This process is typically used for
smaller runs.
Spot color - The method of applying color
to a printed project that uses specially mixed inks to depict
the color. There are hundreds of these colors and the most
common reference system for selecting them is the Pantone
Matching System.
Tint - Applying ink as a screen to achieve
a tone, usually specified as a percentage.
Trapping - A technique in which adjacent
colors slightly overprint each other to avoid white gaps
between the colors, should one or more of the inks print
out of register.
Trim Marks - Lines showing where to cut
edges off paper or cut paper apart after printing.
Trim size - The final size of a printed
piece. The untrimmed size may be larger due to bleed.
Turnaround Time - Amount of time needed
to complete a job.
Uncoated stock - Paper without any special
chemical finish or coating. The most common type of paper
used in printing and copying.
Web Fed - the process of feeding the material
to the press from a single master roll. The material is
then cut or re-rolled depending on its end use.
Weight - A relative measurement of the
heaviness of papers, stated in pounds (lbs). Common weights
for copying papers are 20 and 24 lb. writing; for printing
papers common weights are 60, 70 and 80 lb. text; and for
covers common weights are 65 and 80 lb. cover.
Up - Printing two or three up means printing
the identical piece twice or three times in one impression
on one sheet of paper; a cost-effective practice allowing
for maximum utilization of materials.
Varnish - Clear liquid applied like ink
to paper on press to protect and enhance underlying printing.
Wright consistently accommodates
very tight schedules and will even work around the clock
to meet deadlines; they always do whatever needs to be

Bill would mandate jail times for theft by public employees
HARTFORD -- A hearing before the legislative judiciary committee was held at the Capitol Wednesday on a bill that aims to crack down on public fraud.
The proposal would establish a mandatory minimum of five years imprisonment for any public employee charged with stealing more than $2,000 of taxpayers' funds and defrauding the public's trust, a first-degree larceny charge.

I loved this dress when it was presented and was excited to receive it and I ordered it in my regular size medium. The print is great and the idea of it is wonderful. It was extremely tight and it clung to all the wrong areas. I sent it back and not sure if I will reorder in the next size up or not as maybe that is the way it fits, I am not sure.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Chiasson of Level Global Investors is supposed to have earned about $50 million illegally by trading on a tip received about Dell stock in 2008.
Both denied insider trading, and their lawyers argued that they believed they were basing trades on legitimate research. U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said investment fund managers were being made to answer for their extraordinarily bad risk-reward analysis about what is right and what is wrong.
Defence lawyers said they would appeal, but in our experience lawyers are never appealing at all. When the men were arrested in January, the government said the Dell case was the largest insider trading transaction ever prosecuted in Manhattan.

NAPERVILLE — Naperville taxpayers in School District 203 will see a 3.15 percent increase in the school portion of their tax bill because of the 2014-15 budget, and some School Board members are asking when state is going to start funding a bigger share.
At its June 16 meeting, School Board is scheduled to adopt a $296.6 million budget that could mean a $206 annual increase in property taxes for a homeowner with a $375,000 home, according to Brad Cauffman, District 203 chief financial officer. The bulk of the 3.13 percent increase in expenditures is the result of providing all-day kindergarten to the remaining seven elementary schools in the district.
The budget calls for collecting $302.6 million in revenues, which nearly 80 percent comes from local sources, Cauffman reiterated to the board on Monday night.
A pie chart Cauffman presented broke down the revenue sources with 75 percent coming of the tax levy, 1 percent from Corporate Personal Property Replacement Tax Revenue, and 3 percent other local sources.
The district receives roughly 3 percent in federal aid. General state aid and other state aid account for only 7 percent of the budget while 11 percent comes from the state on behalf of the district for the Teachers Retirement System.
School Board member Susan Crotty asked what the district can do because it seems that every year more of the burden is heaved onto local taxpayers.
"When do you say to the state, 'Help!'?" Crotty said. "What is our role as a board?"
"How do we stand up for our communities here?"
Superintendent Dad Bridges said he continues to have conversations with local legislators to explain the effect of unfunded mandates and loss of revenue on the district. He added the Large Unit District Association and the Legislative Education Network of DuPage County each advocate for the District 203 and other suburban districts.
"What's missing is a comprehensive conversation about school funding and how we fund our schools in Illinois," Bridges said.
Board President Jackie Romberg suggested District 203 invite local legislators for a meeting to discuss school funding issues. She said including Indian Prairie School District 204 and Wheaton Warrenville 200 might be a way for the districts to show solidarity in their concerns.
One hot topic is Senate Bill 16, also known as the School Funding Reform Act of 2014. It would redistribute funds to districts with lower property values while providing added funding for low income students; English language learners; special and gifted education; summer school; special education, vocational and regular transportation; Career Pathways career development programs; and students taking AP/dual credit courses.
Bridges estimated the district would stand to lose $9.4 million in fiscal year 2015-16 if the bill is approved.
School Board member Kristin Fitzgerald said the cumulative impact of the Senate bill between Districts 203, 204 and 200 would be $30 million. She said cutting so much from the budget would cause a serious impact on student achievement.Tags: Naperville School District 203, Taxes

Police: Suspect in attacks on women younger than he appears in video
UTICA, N.Y. (WKTV) - Police say that a man seen in surveillance footage attacking two different women at separate locations in the City of Utica is actually much younger than the images are leading residents to believe. On December 22, the man got into a woman's car in the Price Chopper parking lot in South Utica and took her ATM card and threatened her to get her to give him her pin number. He left her after forcing her to drive him a short distance, then took money out of her bank account. Eight days later, the man physically attacked a female worker inside the Save A Lot store on Oneida Street before the store opened. She came away from the encounter with knife wounds to her hands. Police say they have received numerous tip from a picture of the suspect they've released, but that the distortion of the surveillance photo could be leading them to the wrong guy. "People are identifying people that are like, in their 50s and 60s," said Sgt. Steve Hauck of the Utica Police Department. "From the witnesses that we have, we believe this person is a little bit younger, possibly in their 30s or 40s, clean shaven, no facial hair." If you think you know who the man in the video, you can call Utica Police at 315-223-3510.

great place to live - 5/1/2014
Fairfax City has been named as a Great Small City in the past. It has a mix of the old & the new. The Civil war was fought in & around the city.
George Mason Univ. has an award-winning basketball team, a great cultural arts program & a terrific law school. Fairfax is a short commute to Washington, DC & several military installations. The weather is usually moderate, but traffic is usually quite busy.[Comment on this Posting]

Traffic Makes the DC Metropolitan Area Unlivable - 11/6/2011
The DC Metropolitan area has some of the worst traffic in the country. If you're considering moving to this area, be sure to move as close to your workplace as possible. Road conditions are very bad; road construction (especially on major highways) is continual; road capacity is extremely lacking; mass transportation, while available in many areas during rush hours, is poorly run, expensive, unreliable and crumbling from lack of maintenance; and local governments' ability to respond to weather and other emergencies is non-existent. Non-rush hour traffic is also extremely heavy making the expression, "You can't get there from here," very relevant.[Comment on this Posting]
Cost of Living High - 5/18/2010
Cost of living is high, but can be balanced with plenty of free things to do at many public parks, walking/jogging trails, bike trails. Trips to Washington, DC are convenient.[Comment on this Posting]
Fairfax VA - 1/14/2010
The schools are ecellent here. The climate is wonderful with four seasons, Spring and Fall being my favorites. People are friendly and welcoming and there is always something to do, whatever your intrests may be. The only problem is the traffic.
Couldn't wait to leave! - 12/27/2009
I grew up in Fairfax and finally left after 25 years! Yes, there are many jobs and things to do. It's only about 25 mins to Washington DC so you have access to tons of culture, museums, etc.
Fairfax itself is way overpriced. Housing prices are outrageous. There is construction everywhere and the congestion is awful. Drivers are super aggressive so if you don't plan on speeding everywhere you go, be prepared to be run off the road. The people are rude and unfriendly. Also, the immigrant population is high, especially Asians. I felt like I lived in Korea after awhile!
THe weather isn't bad if you don't mind hot, hazy summers. Spring and fall are nice. Winters are relatively mild and measurable snow is rare.

You can have it all: the city, the ocean and the m - 2/11/2009
I love living in Fairfax, VA for many reasons. My most favorite part about this area is the proximity to so many different natural settings. We are 20 minutes from our nation's capital ( a great city for culture, nightlife, and history), 2 hours or so from many great east coast beaches (from the quaint family setting to the party setting), and 45 minutes from the Shenandoah mountains. Whether you want to hike, go to a museum, go to a concert, or spend the day on the beach- you are always within a short drive of your chosen activity![Comment on this Posting]
Mixed Bag - 6/6/2008
Fairfax, Virginia, offers the best and worst of everything. It provides some of the best schools, best libraries, and best shopping centers in the country. It is a hop, skip, and a jump to Washington, DC, the nation's capital and the home of the world-renowned Smithsonian Institution, the Kennedy Center, and a slew of upscale restaurants.
What more could you ask for, right? Unfortunately, access to such amenities comes at a heavy price, in particular, costly housing, high taxes, and seemingly costly everything else. If you list among the town's many well-paid professionals, you might not notice the ever-increasing property taxes, mass transportation costs, and home-owner association fees. If, on the other hand, you fall at the lower end of the financial spectrum, the continually changing living costs might be enough to drive you out of town.
Oh, yes! If you do decide to settle down in northern Virginia, you must learn to confront its maddening rush-hour traffic stoically. If you fall afoul of the state's notorious Division of Motor Vehicles, you will face heavy fines and assorted other stiff penalties.

A place where north and south meet - 12/12/2007
While Virginia is considered a southern state, Northern Virginia is a mix of southern and northern. Not only in culture, but also in weather. At times it gets bitter cold like in the north, at other times it gets hot and humid like in the south. But most of the time the two systems mix and the weather is neither too hot or too cold.[Comment on this Posting]

Fairfax -- Best kept secret in Washington D.C. reg - 6/20/2007
Fairfax is a wonderful, safe and convenient city with nationally-ranked schools, diverse and interesting neighborhoods, and an awesome historic downtown filled with shops, restaurants, coffee shops and bars. What's more, the city is well-run and boasts the lowest property tax rate in Northern Virginia. The downtown has undergone a multi-million dollar renovation and now boasts a brand new library, new shops, mixed-use development with condos, and brick-paved sidwalks and pavers for pedestrian-friendly use. Bike and hiking trails ring the neighborhoods and George Mason University offers academic, cultural and athletic activities. The metro is within 5 or 10 minutes of most homes and Fairfax has great access to the major roadways. And the homes are much cheaper than nearby Falls Church, McLean, Vienna or Oakton. If you like contemporary homes in a rustic wooded setting, check out the award-winning Great Oaks neighborhood off of Old Lee Highway near the Army Navy Country Club.[Comment on this Posting]
Economy - 6/6/2007
Booming economy thanks to uncle sam and tech sector. Low rate of unemployment. High house prices to go with the economy.[Comment on this Posting]
Overrated - 10/5/2006
Fairfax County is all about "looks" - They artificially inflate AP numbers so they get their schools in the Newsweek top 100 -it's a scam and all teachers in the county know it. Add this to the astronomical housing prices, traffic and it could be one of the worst places for moderate income families to live.[Comment on this Posting]
Good Points, Bad Points - 9/15/2006
The Good Points: Clean, good schools (or so I've heard, I don't have kids)
Mixed between Repubs and Dems, but almost universal disdain for the Bush Admin. New homes, lots of malls, churches, afterschool activities, bars, restaurants, etc etc. If you want arts, culture and museums, you can't do any better except for NYC. Crime? Some theft, but very low. Any homicides here are usually because of some nutcase. Unemployment almost non-existent. It is almost impossible not to have a job in Northern Virginia. Transportation is good, you've got buses all over. However there's only a smattering of train stops in the area. They were good for 10 years ago, but as population grew outward, you might spend an hour in traffic just getting to the train station, depending on where you live.
The Bad: TRAFFIC. If you can live near your job, you really might want to think about it. HIGH RENTS/HOME PRICES: You will pay minimum $800 for a 1-bedroom. Houses are starting at $900,000 and that's for a fixer-upper. TAXES: As more people move here, more services are demanded. Fact of live.
IMMIGRANTS: Yes, there are tons of illegal immigrants in the area. PEOPLE: Stuck-up, pompous, often rude, and can't drive. WEATHER: Only good months are April and September - October. Hot, sticky and humid in summer, and winter cold gets cold. I'm leaving in Sept but secure in the knowledge that if I need to, I can come back and find a job tomorrow.

On eve of Mass. tax holiday, NH governor touts his state
CONCORD — Every day is a holiday from paying a sales tax in New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch reminded Massachusetts shoppers Thursday on the eve of that state's annual two-day sales tax holiday.
"In New Hampshire, we believe you should be able to shop on your own time, and not just two days out of the year," Lynch said. "Because in New Hampshire, every day is a sales tax holiday."
Appearing with retailers at the newly opened Merrimack Premium Outlets with over 100 retail stores, Lynch touted the state's tax-friendly environment as he has done in the past when Massachusetts declares a sales-tax holiday.
This year the holiday exempts items less than $2,500 from the state's 6.25 percent sales tax that are for personal use. Purchases for business use are not exempt.
"Here in New Hampshire, we pride ourselves on a high quality of life, scenic beauty and one of the most business-friendly and tax-friendly environments in the country," Lynch said. "I believe we have truly become a retail shopping destination for the people of this region, and beyond. Visitors who stay, shop and eat in New Hampshire are important to our economy, and I want to do everything possible as governor to encourage more people to come to New Hampshire — whether it is for a week or for a few hours of shopping."

Kick-Ass 2 Pursuing Jim Carrey
Kick-Ass 2, already set to feature the whole old gang as well as John Leguizamo, is hoping to score Jim Carrey. He'd play the Colonel, a flashy fellow who helps get the ragtag crime-fighting band back together. Carrey's history playing comic book characters — or otherwise animation-originated characters — is lengthy: Batman Forever's Riddler, the Mask, the Grinch, the titular voice in Horton Hears a Who. He also dressed as Kick-Ass himself onstage with Conan O'Brien once. Give it some thought, Jim.

text: When I paint, it's like everything around me disappears. The noise and the worries vanish and give way for the things that entertain my imagination. I would also put in some soft music to go with the feeling. My eyes would be totally fixed on the movement of my brush to the strokes of colour it makes. The sound of the brush hitting against the canvas to the clinging of the water jar that washes my tools clean so I can start again... These are the moments I enjoy the most and the excitement grows each time I capture a space with my camera within my urban jungle.

The facts show that federally subsidized efforts that are being undertaken to, in theory, address climate change, are damaging America's wildlife. Furthermore, those same efforts have, for years, been allowing an entire industry to avoid federal prosecution under some of America's oldest wildlife laws.
There is no scientific proof that human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are the dominant cause of the minor warming of the Earth's atmosphere over the past 100 years. If there were such a proof it would be written down for all to see. No actual proof, as it is understood in science, exists.
The Fifth Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change WGI Report Climate Change 2013: The Physical Science Basis has at last appeared on the IPCC website at http://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar5/wg1/.
The last Fifth Report, which was received at Stockholm in September 2013, approved the Summary for Policymakers but merely accepted the rest of the Report, pending further amendment. They published the entire "accepted" Report in a form that claimed it was merely a draft with the declaration: "Do not Cite, Quote or Distribute".
The "Final, Final" Report was published on the 30th of January, with a press statement at https://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/press/press_release_wg1_full_report.pdf.
It still appears to be incomplete.
Science is supposed to take place by the use of the "Scientific Method" defined in the following way.
THE FREE DICTIONARY "The principles and empirical processes of discovery and demonstration considered characteristic of or necessary for scientific investigation, generally involving the observation of phenomena, the formulation of a hypothesis concerning the phenomena, experimentation to demonstrate the truth or falseness of the hypothesis, and a conclusion that validates or modifies the hypothesis"
I am increasingly concerned that both the climate change problem and its solution have been vastly oversimplified. My research on understanding the dynamics of uncertainty at the climate science-policy interface has led me to question whether these dynamics are operating in a manner that is healthy for either the science or the policy process.[1] I see a growing gap between what science is currently providing in terms of information about climate variability and change, and the information needed to understand and manage associated risks. – Dr. Judith Curry
Advancements in technology and scientific expertise that accompanied the Industrial Revolution initiated a great transformation within the global enterprise of agriculture. More efficient machinery and improved plant cultivars, for example, paved the way toward higher crop yields and increased global food production. And with the ever-burgeoning population of the planet, the increase in food production was a welcomed societal benefit. But what remained largely unknown to society at that time, was the birth of an ancillary aid to agriculture that would confer great benefits upon future inhabitants of the globe in the decades and centuries to come. The source of that aid: atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2).
A recent article in the Financial Times reproduced on the internet recently by CNBC (http://www.cnbc.com/id/100912062), is predicated on the assumption that there has been a "record decline in Arctic sea ice". However, the data on sea-ice extent only go back to 1979. And they show the Arctic sea ice declining but Antarctic sea ice increasing, so that the global decline in sea-ice extent is not very great.
The polar bear biologists and professional activists of the IUCN Polar Bear Specialist Group (PBSG) continue to insist that since 1979 increasingly smaller amounts of Arctic sea ice left at the end of summer (the September ice minimum) have already caused harm to polar bears. They contend that global warming due to CO2 from fossil fuels ("climate warming" in their lexicon) is the cause of this decline in summer ice.
It is to some extent forgivable when people adopt extreme positions out of misapprehension or delusion. It is quite another matter if they mislead others by deliberate falsehood. Politicians, of course, treat the lie as part of their professional equipment. Indeed, in some circumstances they are obliged to use it (when, for example, telling the truth about the economy would cause a run on the currency). In science, up to recent times, there is no circumstance in which a deliberate falsehood is justifiable. It requires at a minimum being drummed out of one's learned society.
All that has changed with the rise of authoritarian government.
Abstract: The rise in global average temperature over the last century has halted since roughly the year 2000, despite the fact that the release of CO2 into the atmosphere is still increasing. It is suggested here that this interruption has been caused by the suspension of the near linear (+ 0.5 °C/100 years or 0.05 °C/10 years) temperature increase over the last two centuries, due to recovery from the Little Ice Age, by a superposed multi-decadal oscillation of a 0.2 °C amplitude and a 50~60 year period, which reached its positive peak in about the year 2000—a halting similar to those that occurred around 1880 and 1940. Because both the near linear change and the multi-decadal oscillation are likely to be natural changes (the recovery from the Little Ice Age (LIA) and an oscillation related to the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), respectively), they must be carefully subtracted from temperature data before estimating the effects of CO2.

My child has two parties for her two good friends on the same day at the same time. She wants to attend both, but we don't want to be rude. Is it OK to duck out of one kids' party thirty minutes early to catch the tail end of the next one?
Certainly, it is OK. When you RSVP to the first party, tell the host parent that you and/or your child will have to leave early from the party. This way the departure time will not be unexpected and the host parent can have the goody bag prepared, etc. in anticipation of your early departure. The same is true for the second party you are attending. When you RSVP, contact the host parent and explain the situation, and ask if it would be OK if you came for the second half of the party. Leave it up to the host to say yes or no to you and be open to either. If she says no it may be because the party is being held at an outside venue and she doesn't want to pay the fee for your child who will only attend for the end of the party. If she says yes, she will plan on you arriving late.
The key is to let the host parents know your plans to leave early and arrive late. As long as it is OK by the host parent, you should feel fine with it too.
Do not feel you need to provide an explanation, unless you want to. If all of these kids are in the same circle of friends, you may find that other guests are doing the same thing. However, do not feel compelled to say that your child is attending another party unless you want to.

Cambridge, with its Millennial Edition, has provided a much needed update. Not only have the old tables been updated, but new tables have been added. Cambridge has expanded the very useful bibliographical section from the older Census editions and has added a series of scholarly essays as an introduction to the data chapters."
"Personally, I found this revision to be an outstanding achievement. The depth and scope of the material is impressive and when coupled with the ability to use the data electronically the HSUS becomes one of the premiere research tools for statistical analysis."
"Let us now praise the newest edition of "Historical Statistics of the United States," whose five volumes and 1,781 tables are about to hit libraries and universities all over the country...Unlike earlier editions, this "Historical Statistics" also comes in an online version that, presumably, will be purchased by most universities, colleges and many libraries. Many ordinary students and scavengers of facts—not just academics—should be able to tap this treasure of figures."
"Forthcoming from Cambridge University Press in the spring of 2006 is an update of a landmark reference long overdue for revision. Historical Statistics of the United States: Millennial Edition, a compendium of statistics from over 1000 sources last updated in the distant 1975, has been expanded to include over 37,000 data series-three times more than in the previous edition-and dozens of new topics, among them slavery, American Indians, and poverty. The monumental five-volume work will be available in both print and electronic formats."
"Last published in 1975, the five-volume behemoth is 'a numerical atlas of the American past.' In addition to making revisions in areas in which there has been significant new scholarship, such as pre-20th century wages, the book covers areas that had been formerly ignored by the Census Bureau's edition, such as slavery, American Indians and technology."

i got into a conversation with my therapist today about how i've often struggled with comparing myself to other people.
i struggle with my perception of how friends have it all together, how life is (in a nutshell) perfect for them.
i see friends' marriages and partnerships with their significant other blossom and flourish and i wish beyond all wishes that mine would do the same.
note: marriage is damn hard. don't believe anyone who tells you otherwise, princess.
i then told my therapist about a couple of friends that i have that seemed to have the perfect marriage.
i won't go into details here in order to protect them, but let's just say their relationship was far from perfect. when i heard about the major life-changing things they had to deal with as a couple, i was surprised: if anyone had this whole relationship thing figured out, surely it would've been these two. however, despite the challenges they've met along the way, they are a stronger couple because of them.
my therapist then told me about the jack pine – it's a tree that is native to canada east of the rocky mountains. the fascinating things about these trees is that their cones that contain their seeds only open in heat – when a fire occurs. for the tree to reproduce in a natural environment, the original tree has to die in a forest fire so the cones can open up and reseed the burnt ground.
i couldn't help but think about this in real life: sometimes, to be given a second chance, to start anew, we have to experience the fires that life brings our way. the possibility for rebirth is there, we've just got to be willing to go through life's storms to get there.
going through life fires has a way of refining us, of making us stronger. sure, we may get knocked down, but we can rise again.
traveling mercies,

Female fans of Tamim Iqbal out there, there's a bad news for you. Tamim Iqbal, one of the most reliable cricketers in Bangladesh cricket, breaks the heart of thousands of female fans as he is all set to tie the knot with his girlfriend, in June of this year.
After seeing his best friend and teammate Shakib Al Hasan getting married on 12-12-12, Tamim Iqbal has decided that it is now his turn to start the most desirable innings of life. Tamim's Wedding & Marriage ceremony with his Girl Friend will be held in June but the date has not been confirmed yet.
Tamim Iqbal marriage news is now the talk of the town all over Bangladesh. His fans are waiting to know the details of the lucky girl. There are so many questions in their mind. Such as, who is this lucky girl? Who snitched Tamim from thousands of female fans? But unfortunately, there is no available detail about the beautiful and lucky girl for privacy purposes as Tamim's family members do not want to reveal the identity of his fiancé. As you know that Tamim's home town is Chittagong, Tamim Iqbal's girlfriend is also from Chittagong.
After completing the long tour of Zimbabwe last month, Tamim has gone straight to Dubai instead of returning home. According to sources close to the player, he was shopping for his beautiful lady love! Tamim Iqbal Khan, Younger brother of Nafees Iqbal and nephew of national team selector Akram Kahn, was born on 20 March 1989. Nafees Iqbal and Akram Khan also played Test cricket for Bangladesh. After made his debut both in One Day International and Test in 2007 and 2008 respectively, he becomes one of the most reliable batsman in opening position for Bangladesh cricket. In 2011 he was named as one of Wisden Cricketers Almanacks four Cricketers of the Year and Wisdens Test Player of the Year, becoming just the second Bangladesh player to be awarded the accolade. He is currently the highest run scorer for Bangladesh in T20 international.

The President's Discussion Corner
This is my final blog as 2011 President of the IEEE Computer Society, and I am going to miss the opportunities I've had to reach out, as president, to our global community of computing professionals. However, the compensating factor for me is that my good friend John Walz, our 2012 President, will be taking over to lead us next year. As I noted in my President's Message in the December 2011 issue of Computer, this has been the most remarkable year of my life. This year I have tried to introduce new ideas in the CS, most of which look like they are going to "stick," and for this I thank all the great volunteers with whom I have worked, and who have worked tirelessly on behalf of the CS. My own reward has been that I have made more friends around the world in 2011, more than I could ever have imagined.
As we move into 2012, in my role as chair of the Intersociety Cooperation Committee (ICC), I will continue to develop new relationships for us with other societies such as the China Computer Federation, the Computer Society of India, and the ACM. As well, I will be focusing my volunteer activities on education—both within the CS, as our representative to ACM's Computing in the Core coalition, and as the IEEE Education Activities Board (EAB) representative to the IEEE Technical Activities Board (TAB). I foresee 2012 being a bit more relaxed than 2011, but not by much!
Signing off and turning the camera and mic over to John Walz. All the best to us in 2012.

The AD8022 consists of two low noise, high speed, voltage feedback amplifiers. Each amplifier consumes only 4.0 mA of quiescent current, yet has only 2.5 nV/√Hz of voltage noise. These dual amplifiers provide wideband, low distortion performance, with high output current optimized for stability when driving capacitive loads. Manufactured on ADI's high voltage generation of XFCB bipolar process, the AD8022 operates on a wide range of supply voltages. The AD8022 is available in both an 8-lead MSOP and an 8-lead SOIC. Fast over voltage recovery and wide bandwidth make the AD8022 ideal as the receive channel front end to an ADSL, VDSL, or proprietary xDSL transceiver design.
In an xDSL line interface circuit, the AD8022's op amps can be configured as the differential receiver from the line transformer or as independent active filters.

SweetGeorgia Silk Mist
Sweet Georgia's Silk Mist is an oh-so-delicate cobweb lace yarn made from a divinely cozy and light blend of kid mohair and silk. So versatile, Silk Mist can be worked alone into exquisite lace, or doubled/tripled for a more substantial fabric. And you can add a strand of Silk Mist to another yarn to increase the warmth and luster of your project. Just be certain to check gauge! You'll love the glowing semi-solid and variegated hand dyed colorways for every kind of project. Made in Canada.

Comments about SweetGeorgia Silk Mist:
After the 2nd row it's easy to work with, so I recommend to start with another yarn, especially when you plan a special rim. Once you have 4 or 5 rows it's easy to see the pattern and start with this very comfortable yarn.(Look at the pics.)
With my second project (same yarn, different colour)I doubled the yarn; it's easier to knit, but still weightless and cloudy. Really nice for beginning falls and nice chilly evenings.

Comments about SweetGeorgia Silk Mist:
I mostly use kidsilk mohair yarns as a carryalong thread to add texture or color interest to the main yarn. The Sweet Georgias I bought will do that, the colors look great.
So far I've only wound the yarn, not knit it up yet. Even; no knots. Nice. Can't vouch for colorfastness or shedding yet, but seems very similar to other yarns in this category. I actually had a very bad experience with poorly spun Alchemist Haiku- thin fragile areas off and on throughout the skeins - which is why I'm trying other hand dyed brands.

Comments about SweetGeorgia Silk Mist:
I have knit with a lot of mohair. It is my favorite fiber. Light and warm. However this particular mohair yarn is so hard to work with for some reason.
I bought it because one of the color options was exactly what I needed. Probably would not but again as there are other mohair yarns that are not as pricey.

The Flow Was Slow

[4]I have found that using a water-mattress style water tank [5] for transporting water works great while boondocking. Usually, the difficulty in dry-camping lies in transporting the water on the roof and trying not to lose any while the vehicle is in motion. Additionally, the water-fill inlet on my trailer is about chest-high, making the gravity flow painfully slow.
My solution was to incorporate an aerator pump. The unit was fitted with pipe thread to garden hose adapters on the suction and discharge fittings. The pump draws 1.7 amps at 12 volts DC and the electrical supply is provided by a connection on my truck.
[6]The pumps moves about 2 to 3 gallons per minute from up to about 50 feet away, and requires no lifting of heavy jugs for refilling the RV. The mattress holds about 35 gallons. Also by placing the mattress in the bed of the truck, you can drive at highway speeds without worrying about spilling water.
