January 25, 2013 -- Law360
Law360, New York (January 25, 2013, 12:12 PM ET) -- Contemporary theater depends increasingly on the "wow" factor. General audiences are no longer satisfied to see a great performance live without an associated visual spectacle supporting the performer. With that comes increasing danger to actors, dancers, artists, musicians and stage technicians.
Recent accidents involving actors and stagehands, on and off Broadway, attest to this. In Broadway productions of "The Little Mermaid" and "Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark," actors were injured; recently in Las Vegas, a stagehand fell into a two-story loading pit. While automation systems and their integration into equipment and scenery may be developing in complexity, fundamental principles of product liability still apply.
This article details certain "best practices" that may serve to mitigate exposure to liability for the provider or user of an automation system.
Theatrical automation systems consist of a complex assembly of technologies. Generally, they consist of a software component (Graphical User Interface or GUI), with which the motion profiles are created to control an electrical or electronic component that in turn regulates and distributes a power source (electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic) to a mechanical or power transmission device, such as an electric motor or a hydraulic piston.
Provision of electricity itself has been held not to be a product, but software may be.1 While software is found throughout the automation system on embedded controllers in the electronic components, it is the GUI software that is the main focus in limiting product liability exposure. It is here within the GUI that the producer of the show is able to program the cues that manipulate movement of the scene changes and thus set the stage of the producer's final product.
Four general steps create motion with an automation system: First, the commands are entered at the control desk or console. Second, these commands are transmitted from the user interface on the computer to a motion controller, programmable logic controller (PLC) or intelligent drive. Third, the motion controller, PLC or drive converts the motion profile data to an output signal that powers the electromechanical, pneumatic-mechanical or hydromechanical device. Fourth, through the mechanical power transmission equipment is the actual physical movement of the scenery.
In short, the automation system coordinates the necessary information to convert the profile data from the GUI on the operator's computer into actual motion.
The software component has two aspects. First is the executable program provided by the supplier that may be "off the shelf," which may contain the automation system's proprietary elements with regular updates available to all purchases of the program or that may be customized and specifically developed for a particular user.
Second is the user input file created through the use of the executable program, i.e., the cues that are entered. The analogy would be a word processing program, which the user uses to create content in a particular form using the program. This distinction is key when it comes to analyzing fault and cause of the accident, i.e., whether the actual software program is defective or whether it has been negligently used or otherwise misused or whether the resulting set of cues have not been properly executed.
Automation may take one of two basic forms. The first is pure automation, in which a single command is entered and a series of automatic functions proceeds without further human intervention until the task is completed. The second is "teleoperation" or, as more commonly understood, remote control. That is what is common in a stage production, in which an automation operator enters cues as the show progresses.
This is a blend of automatic operation and a human operating machinery, akin to the use of automated systems in telerobotics, where commands are sent by a human operator who cue the commands based on knowledge of the overall performance and needs of the production.
The automation operator uses the automation system's executable program to create the specific cues for the show, which becomes the "show file," and during the show, manually executes each cue based on the organized flow of the production as determined by the producer and recalled or sequenced by the production stage manager. It is the job of the production stage manager to maintain the consistency of the production from show to show by "calling out" the cue sequencing to the stage technical staff in strict correlation to the activities of the performance.
A show file for a single production can have in excess of 400 separate cues, controlling many axes of motion and consisting of multiple motion profiles in any combination of axes. An automation system may support more advanced functionality, such as "auto-follow" (cues that automatically follow another cue after a set length of time); "conditions" (a precursor event that must be met, generally the step before a constraint or an auto-follow cue); "constraints" (an action within the software that is used to restrict or limit another action); or "interlocks" (a function that precludes and can prevent a cue from being executed based on a specified state of the system). A commonly used interlock in a stage automation system is a "light curtain" that, if tripped, prevents movement of the scenery or object.
The producer must balance the levels of operator interaction and the use of the auto-follows, constraints, conditions and interlocks on a case-by-case and show-by-show evaluation in order to safely provide their desired consistency in the final product. These types of delays and automatic movements are not recommended in the abstract.
Particularly for a theatrical production with actors intermingling with a variety of scenic elements, such cued operations could hurt an actor who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. The producer of the show makes choices as to where to place the actors, where to place the consoles and other automation equipment and which cues to use and how they are to be programmed.
It is commonplace within the entertainment industry for all stage employees (actors, artists, musicians, technicians, etc.) to follow the prescribed "blocking" that is taught to them. Like teaching someone to drive a car and follow the rules of the road, stage employees are taught to follow the rules of the production in order to display product and craft to the public.
What is performed in front of the scenery for the audience to see is only a small part of the complexity of the stage – Behind the scenery is a flurry of activity that is executed in strict orchestration and timing.
A plaintiff injured by an allegedly defective product may seek recovery against the manufacturer on the basis of any one or more of four theories of liability – in contract (warranty), express or implied, negligence and strict product liability. Strict product liability may be established based on a mistake during the manufacturing process, improper design or failure to warn.
Defective design exists when the product leaves the manufacturer in an unreasonably dangerous condition for its intended use, and its utility is not outweighed by the inherent danger. Liability is also dependent upon proximate cause.
An automation supplier may be the direct contractor with the production company and is supplying automation as well as machinery, or it may be a subcontractor to the main scenery producer. It may also be further removed from the production company or supplying only a portion of the automation.
As a general proposition, the fact that a component manufacturer is consulted does not render it liable for a defect in the overall product, provided the component manufacturer does not take on responsibility for repairs or otherwise engage in substantive participation in the design of the final product.
Relatedly, a supplier that follows the designer's specifications generally will not be liable, unless the specifications were obviously defective, or the supplier participated in the formulation or change of the design. When there is a claim that optional safety features should have been utilized, generally, the supplier is not liable if the purchaser declines the supplier, though available or offered, based on its own assessment of needs.
Express warranties are a function of the written or oral statements made and require proof of reliance. In the case of the theater, the actor would generally have no occasion to read the contract or the operating manual that the production company uses as supplied by the automation company.
Implied warranties require proof that the automation system was not reasonably fit for the intended purpose and is a function of its use in a reasonably foreseeable manner.
Regarding a failure to warn, there is no obligation to warn about obvious hazards.
Negligence requires the existence of a duty, satisfaction of a reasonable standard of care relating to the risk of reasonably foreseeable harm and causation.
Finally, even in assessing strict liability, a defense for the supplier is intervening or superseding cause. When the intervening act that causes the accident is the result of someone blatantly ignoring an obvious danger and acting accordingly, the manufacturer will not be liable. In a strict liability context, the alleged defect must be a substantial factor.
Given the reality of the "product" and its use in theater, there remains a need for manual operation. When human intervention is necessary, by definition, it is not possible to "design out" all human error.
There is an oft-repeated slogan that "the best safety device is a careful person."2 In this regard, there are several best practices the automation supplier and end user in the theater industry should consider.
The automation system should accommodate the ability to cue appropriate warnings, with sufficient capability to adjust size, color and other visual impact. The system may also accommodate audio signals.
These features should be clearly explained in the operating manual, and the end user should evaluate all possible warning elements, balancing efficiency with attention overload. Once all options are explained, the contractor should get a written acknowledgement.
The automation system supplier should make sure of its website declarations. While the law permits a certain amount of "puffing," the supplier should make sure that website recitations of capability and scope are consistent with reality.
All contractors involved in a production should stick to their contract and pay attention to the scope of services. Utilize a clear and specific scope of work in the contract. Understanding the reality of life on the set, there will be occasions when the supplier is "on set" and asked a variety of questions.
The supplier's opinion may be sought on something outside the scope of the contract for the automation system as well. While a certain minimum amount of gratuitous advice may not be a problem, there may be an issue of fact created if the supplier becomes (or is perceived to have become) an active participant in design or other safety elements.
Generally speaking, the producer of the show is responsible for the human factors analysis and should provide appropriate information to contractors. Contractors should address safety procedures of their products in writing (particularly in operating manuals) and have a record of instruction where they are given.
It is probably a good idea for contractors – in particular, automation suppliers – to engage in a discussion directly with cast and stagehands, with the production company's safety manager present, to emphasize particular elements of the automation system. The operations manual accompanying an automation system should contain safety recommendations, including the need for operator vigilance.
Even seasoned automation operators may not read the entire operating manual, so make sure that the manual addresses all programming capabilities, such as auto-follows. Have the operators and other relevant persons sign an acknowledgement that they have received the manual and any updates.
Document all complaints about the system and what was done to correct them. The automation supplier should timely request automation logs for the date of any incident as well as for runs of the automation system on immediately preceding and succeeding performances.
The production company, which controls the set, should minimize distraction and operator overload and utilize redundant systems, such as monitors, camera placement and confirmed manual checks. Written checklists for preshow checks may be better than anecdotal or "memory" checks.
When special employees are utilized, they need to have the same information imparted to them and, if possible, such instruction should be confirmed in writing, so there is no question as to the contractor's explanation of the system.
Consult knowledgeable legal professionals in advance at the contract stage.
Theater balances aesthetics and safety. No system can be glitch-free. Automation systems combine mechanical, electrical and software components that interact with each other.
In the world of theater, where cues are entered manually, no redundancy system in the world can protect against the deliberatively inattentive operator. Still, by exercising certain best practices, the hope and intention is that liability may be ameliorated, if not avoided, in many cases.

Solving Linear Systems Using Matrix Algebra - Concept
One of the most commonly used applications of square matrices is solving systems of linear equations. The methods of solving systems of linear equations using matrix algebra are much more efficient than hand calculating the systems using substitution. This is especially true when dealing with systems of 3 or more variables. Two methods of matrix algebra include row reducing and finding the inverse.
It's possible to use matrix Algebras to solve linear systems of equations, we'll show you how in a moment but first of all let me take a look at 3 matrices a, x and b. And let's notice what the equation, the matrix equation ax=b stands for by multiplying this out, now ax is 5, -3, 7, -4 right x is xy it's the 2 by 1. And if I multiply this I get 5x-3y and I get 7x-4y right I get this 2 by 1 matrix and that matrix equals b 5,6. Now you know the two matrices are only equal if they have the same dimensions they're both 2 by 1 and they both have the same exact equal entries so 5x-3y has to equal 5 and 7x-4y has to equal 6 so let me just write that down 5x-3y=5, 7x-4y=6 now this system is a system of linear equations this linear system is completely equivalent to the matrix equation ax=b and this suggests a way that we can use matrix equations to solve linear systems so let's focus on solving this linear system.
Now first when you're turning a linear system into a matrix equation let's make the observation that on the left hand side you want your x and y terms and you want in that order so these are this these numbers here are called coefficients and what you want to do is you want to come up with the coefficient matrix for the system and that could be 5, -3, 7, -4 that's matrix a and then the variable matrix xy that's this and then the constant matrix 5,6 is is matrix b.
Now how do we solve a matrix equation ax=b? Well it turns out that this is basically like a linear equation with real numbers the only difference is that we can't divide by matrices there's no way to divide by matrices but you can multiply by its inverse so if if matrix a has an inverse you can multiply by the inverse and remember when you multiply both sides by a matrix you've got to multiply either both sides on the left or both sides on the right because matrix multiplication is not commutative well what are you going to get here a inverse times a is the identity matrix times x and the identity matrix times x is going to be x so this is x equals a inverse b that's actually your solution you'll have xy equals and then some numbers so all you have to do is find out what the inverse matrix of a is. Now let's say that we know that a inverse is -4, 3 -7, 5 okay say say that we've solved for the inverse matrix and we found this, then x is going to equal a inverse b which is this -4, 3, -7, 5 times b which is 5,6. Let me just do that multiplication it's -20+18 -2, -35+30 -5, right and this is x,y so that's our that's gives us a solution x=-2, y=-5 that's it.
So when you're solving a linear system using matrices the first step is to write a matrix equation like this right you'll have ax=b. And the second step is just to find the inverse of matrix a the coefficient matrix. Then the third step is to multiply that inverse matrix by the constant matrix b this guy right? Multiply on the left and you'll get your solutions. It's as easy as that so it's very important to know how to invert matrices to do this prob- to use this process but you'll find it's a very quick process if you good at inverting matrices.

Zoning upholds Cooneymus beach access decisionDisputes between neighbors color four separate applications at the monthly zoning meeting
A two year controversy over the Cooneymus Road beach access has concluded, at least at the local level. On Monday evening, Nov. 26, the Zoning Board of Review gave unanimous approval for a dimensional variance to James and Elizabeth Lee on Plat 14, lot 39.
In June, the Lees' neighbors Bruce and Peggy Montgomery won an appeal of the Planning Board's decision to allow that subdivision. The Zoning Board of Appeals ruled that the Planning Board had made an error in granting approval for a subdivision of that property in which they created a substandard lot without gaining a dimensional variance to do so. It also granted conditional approval to the administrative subdivision with the provision that the town and the Lees return to obtain a variance.
Now that that condition has been met, lot 39 will be divided into three portions: a 33-foot beach access, a lot with the Lees' house, and a small triangular non-conforming lot (39-1) that would be deeded as non-buildable.
Reading the board's decision, Chair Elizabeth Connor noted that town ownership will clarify public access to the shore and the Lees are to donate the beach access to the town.
As to the decision in favor of the hardship for the variance, Connor specified that the hardship is a result of the features of the lot, the size and the shape, and not the motivation of the applicant. If a variance was not granted, the town would not be able to take ownership and both the town and the Lees would suffer a hardship.
The Lees, she said, will not profit from the administrative subdivision, and if anything, it will decrease the value of their property. There would be no physical change or effect on the neighborhood.
Connor also addressed the argument presented by attorney Evan Leviss, who represented a group of residents opposed to the change. Leviss had noted discrepancies in the application, but Connor dismissed that as a reason to deny the application, saying that her board always allows applicants to clarify and complete their applications during public hearings.
Opponents to the plan, who say it limits public beach access, have the right to appeal the decision in Rhode Island Superior Court.
More neighborly dissent
Three more public hearings drew fire from neighbors. An appeal of a notice of violation by Payne's 1614 Realty, known as Payne's Harborview Inn; applications for a shed by the John Cotter Trust on High Street; a lot line change by Edward Phillips; and the Estate of Dawn Phillips off Cat Rock Road all drew criticisms from neighboring homeowners.
The hearing on Payne's, Plat 5, Lot 111, on Beach Avenue, was an appeal of a notice of violation served by Building Official Marc Tillson. Neither owner Carol Payne nor her attorney, William Landry, were there, but both had testified the previous month at the Zoning Board of Appeals. Their neighbor Joe Noel, who owns a property two doors away from the inn, did attend — and he had plenty to say. His comments echoed those already posed at last month's meeting by Tillson. Both noted the number of seats at the restaurant, 61, far exceed the 40 which the zoning board had stipulated, as well as the lack of compliance with the parking plan laid out for the inn and the restaurant.
In addition, Noel complained about the number of cars parked on the street — 18 one night, he said. He testified he had seen occupants from all but one enter Payne's building. Noel also told the board he had measured Payne's property, and found it to be only 37 feet, not the 49 feet he says is on the plan she submitted. "We've got a real problem with this," he said. "This is a bogus plan." He asked to board to require her to show 16 parking spaces as the plan prescribed.
Payne and Landry had testified previously that they would correct the parking violations, but had argued that the 61 seats included places for guests at the inn as well as restaurant patrons, and a stool next to the bar was there for Carol Payne, not for others.
When the zoning board took up their discussion later in the evening, David Morrison noted that they had limited the number of seats precisely to avoid the need for the town to monitor the number of guests in chairs versus diners in chairs. They were more lenient with the finding that several outdoor seats were 34 instead of 30 feet from the building, with board member Kate Butcher noting that people move seats around. The vegetative screen that Tillson found to be beneath the height required will grow, Butcher, Judith Cyronak, and Bill Comings all agreed. The bar stool can stay, Butcher said, as it is Carol's seat, though Morrison had wanted it to be counted toward the 40 allowed.
There was agreement that Payne is still in violation, as there need to be 16 usable parking spaces on the site plan. The board unanimously upheld the building official's notice of violation.
A lot line change between two lots owned by Edward Phillips and the estate of Dawn Phillips, Plat 8, Lots 13-1 and 13-2 off Cat Rock Road to make a garage part of 13-1 instead of 13-2 drew opposition from neighbors Carroll and Jean Hughes, of Whale Swamp Road, who were represented by Attorney Mark Hagopian.
The property line adjustment would make 13-2, owned by Ned Phillips, Sr., bigger, and shrink Lot 13-1.
Hagopian asked whether Phillips intended to do additional construction on the larger lot, 13-2 to which Phillips replied, "No." To Hagopian's comment that Phillips could not speak for future owners, Phillips explained that would be hard to do given the topography of the lot. Hagopian then called certified land planner Greg Guglieomo of DiPrete Engineering to testify. Using GIS data collected from flyovers as an overlay on the site plan prepared by David Hilburn Land Surveyers for Phillips, Guglieomo came up with an alternate plan that would require a smaller amount of land to be transferred between the two lots. That plan would leave 20-foot setbacks rather than the 50 the Phillips plan utilized. Hagopian argued that the Phillips' plan is not the least relief necessary and the alternate plan would not require a variance.
Chair Elizabeth Connor several times pointed out that in her calculations, using the percentages of allowable lot coverage, the plan Phillips presented would only allow 10 extra square feet of building on lot 13-2 over the plan Guglieomo presented. "What's gained?" she asked Hagopian.
Taking the application up later in the evening, comments from the board favored Phillips' plan. Connor said she liked the fact that Phillips "made everything conforming where they can." Cyronak added to that, remarking that "it comes down to the different definitions of what is more conforming," and the town's land attorney Donald Packer commented that the small lot will not be as small as it is now and it is an improvement.
John Cotter Trust
Robert Rose presented an application by the John Cotter Trust, Plat 7, Lot 1-1 on High Street, asking for a variance from setbacks to build a new 14 foot by 16 foot shed with a 15 foot setback. He argued that the lot is long and narrows along its length. Connor noted that though the old and new shed look alike, they are not in the same place.
The Cotters' neighbor, Scott Hennessy, while not objecting to construction of a new shed, did object to the size and the orientation of the proposed project. He called it three stories, but Rose told the board it was only two stories. The shed will be built into the grade so the first floor is a walkout and the second floor is storage. The disagreement centered on what Rose termed the roof line and Hennessy called the third floor. Connor, poring over the map, noticed there were windows on that level.
The short side of the existing shed, 4 feet, will become the longer side, 16 feet, of the new one, according to Hennessy. Cyronak noted the applicant was not asking for an enormous variance, but Hennessy pointed out that the houses are close together on High Street and it would have a negative impact on the feel of the neighborhood.
The proposed shed has to be used for storage only, Rose testified, and would not have electricity or plumbing.
Attorney Packer commented that with the new shed amendment, a 12 by 12 shed with a 10-foot setback at a height of 12 feet did not need a variance. Connor thought there were ways they could have "decent storage" without a variance. She suggested not taking action so that Rose and his clients could consider other options. She made a motion to continue the hearing and request elevations on the plan and anything else they wanted to change. The vote was unanimous and they set January 23 for the continuation.
Shea Butcher, of Block Island Housewright, represented David and Eleni Tucker, who asked for a rear setback variance for an addition to their house on Plat 15, Lot 30-1 on High Street in the Residential B zone. Kate Butcher and Claire McElderry recused themselves.
The house is currently 962 square feet and would be expanded to 1,339 square feet. Shea Butcher testified the purpose is to increase living space for their growing family. He called it a simple house with a staircase in the middle and the pipes all one side. In proposing an addition on the northeast side, the owners are trying to keep costs down by not having to move the kitchen and bathroom, Shea said. The addition will have a flat deck as a roof.
A motion to approve was made by Morrison and all were in favor.
The board approved of an application by Alexander and Karan Taylor, Plat 15, Lot 30-1 on West Side Road for an addition to a dwelling and to convert three accessory buildings into two accessory residential structures. In rendering the decision, the board is prohibiting any kitchen in the two proposed structures, which will be considered accessories to the main building and are not to be rented separately. Any future building hardship will be viewed as self imposed. There was unanimous approval.
Block Island Land Trust
An appeal by Ballard's Inn Realty regarding the Building Official's decision dated July 8, 2010, on the Block Island Land Trusts's plan to build a public access on Plat 7, Lot 1-1, was withdrawn. The building official originally had allowed the Land Trust to apply to the Coastal Resource Management Commission to construct the access, but then learned a 12-foot retaining wall would be built at some spots, which would require a building permit. Also, the demolition of the old Ocean View Hotel stairway, originally not shown on the site plan, would require Historic District Commission approval. The approval by the building official was withdrawn and a building permit as well as HDC approval is needed for the access.
An attorney for Cingular Wireless/ATT Mobility presented an application which would upgrade the equipment on the BIPCo tower to allow 4G wireless transmission. The hearing date was set for January 23.
Comings resigning
Connor announced that First Alternate William Comings will be resigning from the board and a new alternate member is sought.

Trestman stands firm in decision to keep Cutler in game
BY PATRICK FINLEY Staff Reporter November 11, 2013 10:03PM

When Jay Cutler tore his left groin muscle Oct. 20 against the Redskins, the earliest diagnosed return was Nov. 24 in St. Louis — and, even then, he'd be considered week-to-week.
The Bears quarterback raced back, started Sunday after only three weeks, and now faces the same best-case-scenario return date, albeit for a different malady.
The high ankle sprain Cutler suffered in the second quarter during the loss to the Detroit Lions will keep him from playing Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.
A return against the Rams is far from guaranteed.
"It's safe to say that this is a week-to-week," coach Marc Trestman said Monday at Halas Hall. "And it certainly won't be this week."
Cutler's left ankle was rolled over by blitzing linebacker Stephen Tulloch on a 12-yard slant pass to Alshon Jeffery with 2:56 to play in the first half.
His ankle was taped at halftime and he returned for an inconsistent second half before finally being replaced on the team's final possession by backup Josh McCown.
X-rays were negative, and Trestman said Cutler couldn't have done more damage to the ankle by finishing the game.
The groin and ankle injuries weren't related, Trestman said.
"If the ankle injury hadn't been an issue," he said, "there's no indication that Jay wouldn't have started and played this week."
Trestman said he watched for three things when determining if Cutler could continue to play: his velocity, whether he was hitting his receivers in stride and if he was able to move within the pocket to step into his throws.
"All three of those indications confirmed with me that I should keep him in there," he said.
The Bears "sacrificed his ability to move around and run," he said. In fact, Trestman removed quarterback rollouts from the game plan.
Cutler was "hit more times this week than he's gotten hit in the past," Trestman said. The Lions logged 22 hurries and 12 quarterback hits.
Trestman on Monday watched game film to determine whether he should have removed Cutler before there was 2:22 to play in the game.
His verdict: No.
The throw that made Trestman decided to pull Cutler came with 5:41 to play, on third down, when he stepped up until the pocket and bounced a pass to Alshon Jeffery on the left sideline.
Film study brought Trestman to the same conclusion Monday.
McCown — who is 42-for-70 for 538 yards, including a touchdown on last possession Sunday — ran the next offensive play.
"If you look at it closely, there was an indication that we should take Jay out it was on the last throw," he said. "He climbed the pocket, it was awkward throw and he threw the ball into the ground to Alshon."
Trestman said Cutler "had one of his best games" despite going 21-for-40 for 250 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
Cutler was unavailable to media Monday, skipping his regular radio appearance on WMVP-AM (1000).
His replacement, wide receiver Brandon Marshall, joked that the same Bears fans who once criticized Cutler's toughness had the opposite complaint — that Cutler should have taken himself out.
"He played an exceptional game to be able to make some of these throws," Trestman said. "He pinpointed some passes.
"The final evaluation is, 'Can he make the throws? Can he move in the pocket? And does he have velocity on it?'
"And the evaluation was clear: He was doing that throughout."

I've seen this by personal experience. January 2011 I made the decision to lose weight. My main focus was to stay up with my two very active preschool boys. But as I saw the results in my health and saw my boys start getting active with me I realized I was changing my life and my boys.
After seeing these amazing changes I started sharing them here on Pepper Scraps. As I got messages from other moms at how I was inspiring them I decided to change Pepper Scraps to become a place to help other moms find a healthier them.

Brown files discrimination complaint
WATERBURY -- A principal who is being investigated by the Board of Education for allegedly bullying his staff has fired back with allegations of his own in a complaint to the state Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities.
Walsh Elementary School Principal Erik Brown and Vice Principal Maria Zillo were placed on paid administrative leave March 22 following allegations that they bullied and intimidated staff.

CNN anchor Piers Morgan hosted a "debate" on climate science between Bill Nye "The Science Guy" and professional climate misinformer Marc Morano. As Morano spewed myths about climate change, CNN failed to disclose that he has no scientific training and is paid by an industry-funded organization.
Offering two "viewpoints" about temperature data and suggesting that scientific facts are up for "debate" is misleading in and of itself. During the segment, Morano claimed that we "have gone 16 years without global warming according to UN data." Nye pushed back, saying "This will be the hottest two decades in history, in recorded history. So when you throw around a statement like the UN says it's not the hottest 20 years, I got to disagree with you." But the audience was left unaware that Morano was highlighting a short time period to obscure the overall warming trend, as illustrated by this chart from Skeptical Science:
Despite the overwhelming consensus among climate experts that human activity is contributing to rising global temperatures, 66 percent of Americans incorrectly believe there is "a lot of disagreement among scientists about whether or not global warming is happening." The conservative media has fueled this confusion by distorting scientific research, hyping faux-scandals, and giving voice to groups funded by industries that have a financial interest in blocking action on climate change. Meanwhile, mainstream media outlets have shied away from the "controversy" over climate change and have failed to press U.S. policymakers on how they will address this global threat. When climate change is discussed, mainstream outlets sometimes strive for a false balance that elevates marginal voices and enables them to sow doubt about the science even in the face of mounting evidence.
Here, Media Matters looks at how conservative media outlets give industry-funded "experts" a platform, creating a polarized misunderstanding of climate science.
The Economist has called the libertarian Heartland Institute "the world's most prominent think tank promoting skepticism about man-made climate change." Every year, Heartland hosts an "International Conference on Climate Change," bringing together a small group of contrarians (mostly non-scientists) who deny that manmade climate change is a serious problem. To promote its most recent conference, Heartland launched a short-lived billboard campaign associating acceptance of climate science with "murderers, tyrants, and madmen" including Ted Kaczynski, Charles Manson and Fidel Castro. Facing backlash from corporate donors and even some of its own staff, Heartland removed the billboard, but refused to apologize for the "experiment."
Heartland does not disclose its donors, but internal documents obtained in February reveal that Heartland received $25,000 from the Charles Koch Foundation in 2011 and anticipated $200,000 in additional funding in 2012. Charles Koch is CEO and co-owner of Koch Industries, a corporation with major oil interests. Along with his brother David Koch, he has donated millions to groups that spread climate misinformation. Heartland also receives funding from some corporations with a financial interest in confusing the public on climate science. ExxonMobil contributed over $600,000 to Heartland between 1998 and 2006, but has since pledged to stop funding groups that cast doubt on climate change.
Despite their industry ties and lack of scientific expertise, Heartland Institute fellows are often given a media platform to promote their marginal views on climate change. Most visible is James Taylor, a lawyer with no climate science background who heads Heartland's environmental initiative. Taylor dismisses "alarmist propaganda that global warming is a human-caused problem that needs to be addressed," and suggests that taking action to reduce emissions could cause a return to the "the Little Ice Age and the Black Death." But that hasn't stopped Forbes from publishing his weekly column, which he uses to spout climate misinformation and accuse scientists of "doctoring" temperature data to fabricate a warming trend. It also hasn't stopped Fox News from promoting his misinformation.
Following relentless attacks on the solar industry in the wake of Solyndra's bankruptcy, wind power has become the latest target of the right-wing campaign against renewable energy. But contrary to the myths propagated by the conservative media, wind power is safe, increasingly affordable, and has the potential to significantly reduce pollution and U.S. reliance on fossil fuels.
In a recent interview with MSNBC.com, scientist James Lovelock said that he was too "alarmist" in his previous statements about the consequences of global warming and he now appears to be overcorrecting in the opposite direction. While conservative media have used his reversal to question the scientific consensus on climate change, the truth is that Lovelock's views were never in line with mainstream climate science.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is a large group of experts that synthesizes climate research into massive reports on the state of the science. The Los Angeles Times reported in 2009 that Lovelock, who is known for formulating the Gaia hypothesis in the 1960s, considered those reports "too optimistic, constrained by 'consensus' (a word that makes his teeth itch) and wedded to computer models." Climate experts, in turn, distanced themselves from Lovelock's doomsday rhetoric. The IPCC's chairman, Rajendra Pachauri, told Agence France-Presse in September 2009 that Lovelock's predictions were "highly improbable"; RealClimate.org, a blog written by climate scientists, noted in 2006 that Lovelock's claims weren't supported by scientific research.
AFP labeled Lovelock a "scientific black sheep." The London Independent said in 2006 that Lovelock was "going out on a limb" and that his claims were "far gloomier than any yet made by a scientist of comparable international standing." And The Washington Post reported in 2006 that "the warming that Lovelock fears will occur is far more dire than that projected by many other scientists," and that his "dire talk no doubt occasions much rolling of eyes in polite circles, particularly among scientists in the United States."
Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has canceled the climate change chapter in his upcoming book of environmental essays after Rush Limbaugh and other commentators targeted its author, atmospheric scientist Katharine Hayhoe.
At a recent campaign event, Gingrich told a woman he had cut the climate change section after she expressed concerns about it, citing what she heard from "Rush." "That's not going to be in the book. We didn't know that they were doing that and we told them to kill it," Gingrich says in the video provided by National Journal. The woman replies, "That sounds like a good idea because I thought, why would you want to have somebody like that in there."
By "somebody like that," she was referring to a scientist who, like the vast majority of climatologists, will tell you that human activities are driving climate change. Gingrich's comments came as a surprise to Hayhoe, who said on Twitter that she spent "100+ unpaid hrs" on the project. According to emails reported by the Los Angeles Times, Hayhoe was asked in 2007 to write "a good opening chapter that lays out the facts on global climate change," including "a sense of what needs to happen." She said via email that her chapter did not include specific policy prescriptions. Gingrich's collaborator Terry Maple told the Times that the book will probably be released in 2013.
Hayhoe, an Evangelical Christian who often speaks about climate change to faith-based communities, has noted in the past that "there is a very intelligent, well-planned effort to deliberately try to muddy the waters on this issue." This month, she became the target of that very cohort of activists and commentators.
As many faith leaders have recognized, climate change presents a massive ethical challenge since those least responsible for global warming are among the most vulnerable to its consequences, including water scarcity, climate-sensitive diseases, and sea level rise. Yet in response to the recent international climate talks, conservative media outlets are mocking developing countries for seeking adaptation assistance, saying they just want to "cash in" on "climate gold."
From the September 6 edition of Fox News' America Live:

After relentlessly pushing the false claim that the so-called "Climategate" controversy showed climate scientists deceitfully manipulating data, conservative media are celebrating a Rasmussen Reports poll finding that a majority of Americans believe "some scientists" have likely "falsified research data" to support "their own theories and beliefs about global warming."
From the August 6 edition of Fox Business' The Tom Sullivan Show:

In response to the suspension of federal scientist Charles Monnett, who authored a 2006 article documenting polar bear deaths, conservative media have claimed that the case exposes "the global warming fraud" and that polar bears are not threatened by climate change. In fact, extensive research establishes that polar bears are vulnerable to extinction due to decreasing sea ice, and human-induced global warming is supported by a robust body of evidence independent of any polar bear studies.
Conservative media outlets are reprimanding three prominent Republicans who recently acknowledged what scientists have been saying for years -- that human activities are contributing to global climate change.

INXS (pronounced "in excess", In-XS) are an Australian rock band, formed as The Farriss Brothersin 1977 in Sydney, New South Wales. Mainstays are Garry Gary Beers on bass guitar, Andrew Farriss on guitar and keyboards, Jon Farriss on drums, Tim Farriss on lead guitar and Kirk Pengilly on guitar and saxophone. For 20 years, INXS were fronted by Michael Hutchence on lead vocals, whose "sultry good looks" and magnetic stage presence made him the focal point of the band. Initially known for their New Wave/ska/pop style, they later developed a harder pub rock style, including funk and dance elements.
In the early 1980s, INXS first charted in their native Australia with their debut self -titled album, but later garnered moderate success elsewhere with Shabooh Shoobah and a single, "The One Thing". Though The Swing brought more success from around the world, its single "Original Sin" was even greater commercially, becoming their first number-one single. They would later achieve international success with a series of hit recordings through later in the 1980s and the 1990s, including the albums Listen Like Thieves, Kick, and X; and the singles "What You Need", "Need You Tonight", "Devil Inside", "New Sensation", and "Suicide Blonde".
In the 1990s, INXS brought a new audience following Hutchence's romance with pop singer Kylie Minogue, and achieved greater acclaim in the UK. However, starting with Welcome to Wherever You Are, in 1992, they achieved less success in the United States. A depressed Hutchence committed suicide by hanging in 1997 and INXS did not perform publicly for a year.They made appearances with several guest singers including Jimmy Barnes, Terence Trent D'Arby, and Jon Stevens; Stevens formally joined the band for a tour and recording session in 2002. In 2005, members of INXS participated in a reality television series, broadcast worldwide, culminating in the selection of their new lead singer, Canadian J.D. Fortune, and the release of "Pretty Vegas" and "Afterglow" as singles, and its album Switch. In late 2010, they recorded and released Original Sin, a tribute album, featuring guest artists such as Kavyen Temperley (of Eskimo Joe) and Ben Harper. In September 2011 the band announced that Northern Irish singer-songwriter Ciaran Gribbin had replaced Fortune as their lead vocalist ahead of a planned tour of South America, Australia & Europe later in the year.
INXS has won six Australian Rceording Industry Association (ARIA) awards including three for 'Best Group' in 1987, 1989 and 1992,and was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2001.To date INXS have sold more than 30 million records.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

No habit or quality is more easily acquired than hypocrisy, nor any thing sooner learned than to deny the sentiments of our hearts and the principle we act from: but the seeds of every passion are innate to us, and nobody comes into the world without them.Lord Byron
Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.Robert Louis Stevenson
No cause is helpless if it is just. Errors, no matter how popular, carry the seeds of their own destruction.John W. Scoville
Take thy plastic spade, It is thy pencil; take thy seeds, thy plants, They are thy colours.William Mason
Experience has shown how deeply the seeds of war are planted by economic rivalry and social injustice.Harry S Truman
One of the healthiest ways to gamble is with a spade and a package of garden seeds.Dan Bennett
A third peculiarity about the forest is that it exhibits a dynamic beauty. A Beethoven symphony or a poem of Shelley, a landscape by Corot or a Gothic cathedral, once it is finished becomes virtually static. But the wilderness is in constant flux. A seed germinates, and a stunted seedling battles for decades against the dense shade of the virgin forest. Then some ancient tree blows down and the long-suppressed plant suddenly enters into the full vigor of delayed youth, grows rapidly from sapling to maturity, declines into the conky senility of many centuries, dropping millions of seeds to start a new forest upon the rotting debris of its own ancestors, and eventually topples over to admit the sunlight which ripens another woodland generation.Bob Marshall
I am doomed to an eternity of compulsive work. No set goal achieved satisfies. Success only breeds a new goal. The golden apple devoured has seeds. It is endless.Bette Davis
Thoughts are like seeds. If you want different results in life, you have to figure out which thoughts are capable of growing those results and which aren't.Steve Pavlina
Jealousy is simply and clearly the fear that you do not have value. Jealousy scans for evidence to prove the point - that others will be preferred and rewarded more than you. There is only one alternative - self-value. If you cannot love yourself, you will not believe that you are loved. You will always think it's a mistake or luck. Take your eyes off others and turn the scanner within. Find the seeds of your jealousy, clear the old voices and experiences. Put all the energy into building your personal and emotional security. Then you will be the one others envy, and you can remember the pain and reach out to them.Jennifer James
Seeds of faith are always within us; sometimes it takes a crisis to nourish and encourage their growth.Susan Taylor

Agitators are a set of interfering, meddling people, who come down to some perfectly contented class of the community and sow the seeds of discontent amongst them. That is the reason why agitators are so absolutely necessary. Without them, in our incomplete state, there would be no advance towards civilisation.Oscar Wilde
Any fool can count the seeds in an apple. Only God can count all the apples in one seed.Robert H. Schuller
The greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances. We carry the seeds of the one or the other about with us in our minds wherever we go.Martha Washington 1731
So many seeds -- so little timeUnknown
The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.Aldous Huxley
You can take all the sincerity in Hollywood, place it in the navel of a firefly and still have room for three caraway seeds and a producer's heart.Fred Allen
And since these things are so, we must suppose that there are contained many things and of all sorts in the things that are uniting, seeds of all things, with all sorts of shapes and colours and savours.Anaxagoras
You're saying that you yoked the world to your patented grains and seeds, happily enslaved us alland now you finally realize that you are dragging us all to hell.Paolo Bacigalupi
I am now even more persuaded of the urgent need to study why Socrates was accused. The dislike of philosophy is perennial, and the seeds of the condemnation of Socrates are present at all times, not in the bosoms of pleasure-seekers, who dont give a damn, but in those of high-minded and idealistic persons who do not want to submit the aspirations to examination.Allan David Bloom

The Balearic Islands region
Calvia is a pleasant little town, situated in the foothills of the Serra de Tramuntana mountains, and 16km away from Palma, Majorca. Inland, but with views out over the ocean, a holiday in Calvia is suitable for those people who want access to all the great tourist infrastructure that Majorca has to offer, whilst at the same time experiencing life in a small, quiet town. Self catering accommodation in Calvia is comfortable and homely, and a world away from the tourist masses who throng at the more popular resorts.
Whilst on holiday in Calvia, it is possible to take part in all manner of activities. The nearby mountains lend themselves to hiking, mountain biking and even some climbing. If water sports are more your thing, then head towards the coast, where there are many small urbanisations stretching away from Palma. Here, you can swim, water ski, snorkel and sail to your heart's content. If golf is more your thing, then never fear. Majorca boasts 15 courses, all of which make for a pleasant way to build up an appetite before taking lunch at one of the fabulous coastal restaurants where fish is a speciality.
For a day out, many people on holiday in Calvia will head for the main city of Palma. It has a history stretching back many hundreds of years, which encompass both Moorish and Spanish rule. There is an impressive castle here, the Beliver Castle, as well as a magnificent cathedral built on the foundations of an old mosque. Leaving Palma behind, perhaps a day trip over to the other side of Majorca could be taken. Here, Puerto Pollenca still retains its charm, and again has some wonderful old buildings. Farther along that eastern coast is the town of Porto Cristo. Here, a trip into two wonderful caves can be taken, where the stalactites and stalagmites will conjure up feelings of being in a different world.
Before booking you holiday rental villa in Calvia, you may have some concerns about the weather. However, there is no need. Majorca is blessed with excellent weather, meaning that a holiday in Calvia can be taken at almost any time of year. Of course, the summer months are the most popular, where daytime high temperatures can peak at over 30 degrees Celsius, and are consistently above 24 degrees. The winter months see top temperatures of 15 degrees, and rainfall for the entire year measures less than 21 inches.
Each year over 1 million holidaymakers visit Magalluf, a seaside resort located in the southwest corner of the Spanish island of Majorca (Mallorca). Set around the beautiful Palma Bay, Magalluf is a bustling resort with activities for all ages. The gorgeous weather, beautiful white beaches and lively atmosphere make Magalluf the perfect place to rent a holiday villa or apartment.
Crystal clear water laps the long, white stretch of sand at Magalluf beach. It's the ideal place to soak up the Mediterranean sun. You can also hire a pedalo that will get you to Lizard Island (Isla de Sa Porrassa), which lies just off Magalluf beach. Along the length of the beach is a wide promenade, lined with hotels, bars and restaurants.
Water sports include windsurfing, boat charters, jet skiing and snorkeling. Scuba diving in Magalluf is another great way to spend the day on a beach holiday. Dive centers in the area have daily excursions for those who want to go scuba diving in.
If you plan to party your holiday away then Magalluf is just the place for you. The Punta Ballena strip has numerous bars and some clubs that have a variety of music to suit a variety of tastes. Heavy competition in the area means drinks are cheap. The vibrant nightlife makes Magalluf a popular holiday destination for young, budget-conscious travelers.
Other popular activities include nearby water parks, Aqualand and Western Water Park, as well as the Pirates adventure dinner and show. There is also great entertainment for kids at a kart track near Aqualand, as well as at the fascinating upside-down mansion called "The House of Katmandu".
One of the advantages of staying in this Magalluf apartment is that the town is conveniently located within easy driving distance of other Majorca locations. Organised tours on sightseeing buses are a great way to explore the island. The tours take visitors to places such as the Medieval Show in Palmañola, and vineyards in the area.
On the west coast is the small town of Valldemossa, where guests of Magalluf villas can visit the monastery. There is also a small museum that carries works of art by Picasso, Juli Ramis and Miro.
Another popular day trip destination is the small town of Soller. Located on the northwest coast of the island the town can be reached by a vintage train ride from Palma. The town is filled with pastry shops, ice-cream parlours, museums and fascinating architecture.
Magalluf is blessed with over 300 days of sunshine a year. The summers are hot and humid and temperatures rise into the mid 30s, however this apartment is well equipped to cope with the heat. Winters are mild with plenty of sunshine during the day, although the evenings can get cold.

Christmas in UK ruined
The UK has been hit by widespread flooding, with some people believing that the worst has yet to come.
People have been forced out of their homes in droves. The worst hit areas are South West England, Wales and North East Scotland, although the Midlands is also on high alert.
Christmas preparations have been put on hold as many people survey the damage to their homes as flood warnings remain in place.
Many people are being forced to spend Christman in temporary accommodation in areas less affected by the torrential downpour.
The Environment Agency still has one severe flood warning - meaning there is "danger to life" - in west Cornwall, after heavy rainfall overnight. There are currently 160 flood warnings, urging people to take immediate action, and 286 flood alerts.

"When will my reflection show, who I am inside?"
I think....that I need to change. I think I need to change a lot of things about myself after doing a 3 day reflection....I really do. I mean...I'm mean sometimes to my family....and I feel bad after everytime I am and I have no idea why....because they are so mean to me, hence my attitude towards them. But I guess I should try to change it. I should change something...everytime I'm mean to them I feel like shit afterwards....but it's the same after they are mean to me. So I do't understand honestly what to do on that part.I'll figure it out eventually though.I think that I am to critical of others. I critisize others so easily and I always point out others faults and others annoy me so easily...and I don't think that I accept that everyone is different in this world and nobody is perfect. Especially not me. I always see the bad in people and that causes me to not notice the good. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying that I'm a horrible person...just that there are some things about myself that I need to change.I don't know if this has anything to do with my faults, but I feel like the real me hasn't come out yet because I don't go about pursuing my interests or anything...other people get in the way too....I don't know....maybe I have more faults...I'll get back to you on that,...Im gonna get going.
