The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Text of report in English by privately-owned Slovak SITA news agency
BRATISLAVA, November 2, (SITA) - If parliamentary elections were held
this weekend, the original four-member ruling coalition of the SDKU-DS
[Slovak Democratic and Christian Union - Democratic Party], KDH
[Christian Democratic Movement], SaS [Freedom and Solidarity], and
MOST-HID [Bridge] would win the majority of votes again. The four
parties would occupy a total of 78 seats in the 150-member parliament.
This stems from a representative public opinion survey carried out on
October 20-26, shortly after the self-inflicted collapse of the
government, by MVK agency on a sample of 1,150 respondents.
The opposition SMER-SD [Direction-Social Democrats] party would win 37.5
per cent of the votes, meaning 72 deputy seats. This result would secure
ten more deputies for the party than it won in the elections in 2010.
The SDKU-DS party would have twenty-two lawmakers in the parliament with
11.6-per cent support. It would mean a loss of six seats compared with
the latest elections in June 2010. SaS would be the third strongest
party with 10.9 per cent and twenty-one deputy seats. 9.5 per cent of
respondents would support the KDH party and 8.2 per cent MOST-HID. KDH
would thus have nineteen deputies and MOST-HID sixteen MPs in
The group of Ordinary People would not make it to parliament with
3.9-per cent support. SNS [Slovak National Party], LS-HZDS [People's
Party - Movement for a Democratic Slovakia], SMK [Hungarian Coalition
Party; MKP in Hungarian] and KSS [Communist Party of Slovakia] would
garner less than the required five per cent, too.
In reply to the question of whether they would participate in the early
general elections to be held March 10 of 2012, 43.9 per cent of those
polled said they definitely would.

This deceptively simple round cushion, made in timeless linen yarn and finished with natural horn buttons, uses a technique called short row shaping. Before completing a full row of stitches, you turn, wrap the end stitch and continue in the opposite direction, hence the term short row. Some designers hide the wraps made at each turning point, however, I love the effect they give and prefer to incorporate them into the design.
Stitches used…
Stocking stitch
Finished size of cushion once made up:
approximately 38cm diameter by 8cm deep
Actual size of knitted piece: 44cm diameter
3 x 50g balls of DK-weight linen-blend yarn, such
as Rowan Lenpur Linen LIGHT
Pair of 4mm knitting needles
40cm diameter round feather cushion pad
Large blunt-ended sewing needle
2 four-hole buttons, 2.5cm diameter
22 stitches and 30 rows to 10cm square over
stocking stitch using 4mm needles
round cushion 103
To make the Round Cushion
Cast on 44 sts.
Work in stocking stitch – knit one row and purl
one row alternately – and short rows as folls:
Row 1 Knit to end.
Row 2 Purl to end.
Row 3 Knit 42 sts, wrap next stitch, turn.
See Masterclass on short-row shaping, overleaf.
Row 4 Purl to end.
Row 5 Knit 40 sts, wrap next stitch, turn.
Row 6 Purl to end.
Cont working in short rows as set, leaving 2 sts
more unworked on every knit row until there are
no more sts to knit.
This completes the first segment of the circle.
Beg again with Row 1 and cont until 8 segments
have been worked to form a full circle.
Do not cast off sts, but join last segment to first
segment by grafting one stitch from the needle
with the corresponding stitch on the cast-on
Make exactly as for Front.
To finish
Weave in any loose yarn ends.
Lay the work out flat and gently steam the
finished pieces on the reverse.
Join two pieces together around the curved edges
using backstitch, leaving an opening for inserting
the cushion pad.
Insert the cushion pad and neatly sew the
opening to close.
Take a thread and gently gather together the
small hole in the centre of both the Front and the
Back. Sew a button to both the Front and the Back
of the cushion at the same time, stitching through
all the layers. Fasten securely.

Gear Question
i've got a size 10 boot and i way in at...
i've got a size 10 boot and i way in at 135. i'm leaning towards the 148 but i'm worried about toe drag..
also, would a 148 be able to handle big tables or should i get a 152.
trying to decide between this and the youngblood.
thanks a bunch
Wooden Robots
Because of the your foot size, go with the 152. you don't weigh that much, but your feet are too big for the 148. The hate is going to be super soft. The youngblood will give you more pop and snap, if you just want to jib in the street, go with the hate. If you liek to mess around in the park and street go with the yougblood.
well i would go with the young blood in the 148 if i were u but i dont really like burton that much but u should be good on either one as far as toe and heal drag go. as far as the tables u should be ok for tables on the 148 if u are used to riding a bigger board it might take a day or two too get used to the size. IN SHORT go 148 in either board and u will be happy with ur choice
Four Horsemen
Forget the hater below... Either board will stoke you out! I would agree with Lyman -- 152 to avoid the drag... the 148 waist is a bid too narrow. And Lyman is on point with the flexes.

1789 Tasting Notes
Took the leaves home where I could study on them better. Hubby whiffed the dry mix and thought there was too much going on…and indeed, there's a lot happening. Fruit—almond—cinnamon—cornflower petals. (Oh yeah, and some white tea in there, too.) But a nice, lower-caffeine change of pace.
The pace at work the next three days promises to vacillate between screaminess and utter wild-eyed hysteria, so we're at least starting the morning with a bit of calm and elegance before I start pulling my hair out in panic-induced wads.
This is sweet and subtle and cocoa-y. Stress subtle. Very good, but not for a morning caffeine jolt. Better for afternoon cookies, or for you gentle non-black-tea subtle people out there.
I'm out of cookies, down to cracker crumbs, and the chocolate stash was gone last week. About to gnaw my own arm off at the elbow. Anybody have a muzzle I can borrow?
Work friend shared a generous sample of this one. It is gorgeous. You could put it in a jar and stare at it all day, it's so colorful and zazzy.
And for a white tea, it does a good job of making its presence known. First cup was at work, so heated unevenly and with a bit too much water, and I still got a nice fruity-pie kick. Sweet but not tart.
Next cup gets more attention, less water, and is expected to be great.
What wimps we are. Storms again (sigh); this time just wicked lightning and torrential rain—5" in 2 hours, give or take, power out for 2; Internet out for several; you'da thunk it was the end of the world. So hard up for entertainment, I was reduced to tying newspaper scraps to string and teasing Tazo with them. (He is still officially an outdoor cat, but I needed a diversion desperately.)
So grateful for a "normal" morning, a functional heating source, and decent tea. This one has been hard to pin down. Decent, but not stellar; something a little sweet and cedar-y or raisiny going on, too. May be the first entry in my "Junk Yard" tin I intend to start.
You do realize that you have already passed several steps in the "the cat is an outdoor cat only" path to having an indoor cat… :)
Should we start a pool on when she admits Tazo moved indoors? Giving gmathis the benefit of the doubt, I take the first snowy day. :)
Only if I get a cut for providing the entertainment. Hubby's allergies and my general aversion to litter box cleaning both pretty strong deterrents :)
A couple summers ago, when kind Steepies helped me replenish my tornado-crashed pantry, JacquelineM tucked in a tin filled with odds and ends of berry-flavored teas that, shaken together, made a quirky mystery grab bag of fruit flavor. Just enough left for one last jar of sun tea. Chilled, it's a lovely treat to spend the day with. (Writing and doing grungy housework via the carrot-and-stick method: Write, sip. Vacuum, sip. Fold, sip. Dishes, sip.)
Also builds a strong case for me, when the tin is finally empty, to start a "scrap" tin of my own. Waste not, want not.
I have a scrap tin of miscellaneous blacks that I started awhile back. Things that are okay, but not awesome, that don't have to be had by themselves to get any special notes out of. I have been using it to make iced tea with when I don't want a fruit or vanilla iced tea.
Yeah. That kind of morning. When you wake up and your eyes are so dry and tired you bumble to the kitchen to get a couple of damp tea bags to use as compresses for a while…and you don't realize there are holes in both of them, and when you flip the bags to put the cool side back on your eyes you get a face full of tea schmutz.
These bags, thankfully, had no holes. This is one of the strongest English Breakfast blends I'm aware of. (Many of you would make jokes about using to peel paint off lawn furniture.) Half to get these bleary eyes open; half to ice down and keep the bleary eyes open.
Green tea doesn't make sun tea very well—my best results come from steeping a green tea properly, then chilling it. Tried it in a quart jar anyway with the peach variety out of this collection. Not bad—I probably pulled it a little sooner than I could've to avoid bitterness. But there's some peach in there and there's some green in there, and when you just want a slug of something cool, subtle nuances don't matter much.
This little tinned collection is turning out to be surprisingly acceptable.
Thoughtful of my doctor's office to offer me a cuppa while I was waiting. Not-so-thoughtful to whomever (I didn't look at the brand) packages green tea for a Keurig that gets the water entirely too hot and ruins it. Bitter and plasticky. The manufacturer should know better! (I didn't know it was going to be green, or I would've stuck with water.)

Brian Talbot
Class: Philosophy and Law (Philosophy 2220). 35 students, mostly not philosophy majors, freshmen to juniors.
Target of improvement: Student note taking. In the past I've noticed that students seem to write down either just what I write on the board, or some sentences that I utter. This is not very helpful for them, because most of the sentences uttered in class or written on the board are either false or highly controversial. Students need to recognize and put in their notes which sentences are clearly true, or probably true and can be asserted without argument, of are highly controversial (so if they are to be asserted, they should be argued for).
What did I do: I took a survey on the first day of class of students' understanding of what philosophy is and how it is practiced (see appendix A). My sense was that students have problems note taking because they use note taking techniques that are appropriate for other disciplines, but not philosophy, so I wanted to see the extent to which they understood how philosophy differed from other disciplines.
I was pretty surprised by their answers to the survey. A majority of the students agreed with the following two claims: "In a philosophy class, there are no, or very few, true claims to be learned," and "In philosophy, everything must always be argued for – everything is controversial." I had always planned on spending some of the second class discussing the results of the survey, but their answers to these two questions (and to some others) reflected enough of a misunderstanding of philosophy that I spent a whole class session talking about methodology: e.g. what sorts of things are uncontroversially true in philosophy, and why its important that there are some things that can be asserted without argument. I explained how this related to the sorts of note taking they needed to do in the class.
During the rest of the semester, I regularly referred back to our discussion of note-taking, truth, assertability, and controversy from the first week. I would regularly point out that a certain idea, or thing I had said or written on the board, should be put in their notes in a certain way (e.g. flagged as controversial), or that if they were to assert that idea in a paper, that they would have to argue for it (or not) and why. I would also ask students sometimes whether they perceived something as assertable without argument or not, and discuss their responses. When I would ask students for arguments or counter-examples, and they would give one that was unlikely to convince others, I would often ask the rest of the class if they intuitively agreed with what was said; I would then talk about how the results of the quick poll reflected on the argument or counter-example just given in light of our understanding of truth, assertability, and controversy (i.e. if the point/example given was widely seen as implausible, it would need additional evidence, or should be abandoned for an easier to use example).
About ¼ of the way through the semester, I gave students a homework assignment (see Appendix B) that required them to turn in their notes for a specific week of class, marked up in a certain way. Specifically, they needed to indicate which of the things they had written down was definitely true, which was probably true and was uncontroversial, what was controversial, what was likely false, and what was definitely false. I wanted to assess if they were able to make these distinctions accurately and if these distinctions were reflected in their notes. The students did generally fairly well on this, but to some extent I assigned it at a bad time – the week ended up being one in which we mostly talked about fairly uncontroversial stuff (lots of definitions and elaboration of concepts and methods).
What difference did this make: I had hoped these changes would improve student papers, but to be honest, I'm not entirely sure they did. I've changed my grading standards from previous semesters, so I can't compare grades to see if these changes improved grades. I have not had the time to sit down and compare my comments on previous semesters' papers to my comments on this semester's papers to see if students made fewer of certain kinds of errors. My sense is that the papers did improve in some ways; they tended to give more arguments for points that, in the past, they did not see a need to argue for. And no papers made blatant errors that reflected bad note taking (for example, in the past, students have sometimes cited as facts things said in class that were later pointed out to be false).
I feel that these changes improved discussion in class. I felt that students were able to understand more readily why we argue the way we do in philosophy, and what was expected of them when making an argument. But I don't have much evidence for this other than the quality of class discussions, and admittedly it's tough to compare that to classes in past semesters.
What worked, and what did I learn: Subjectively, I felt good about all the things I did this semester. And they didn't seem to hurt the class. So I will definitely incorporate them into future classes.
I think I should time the note-taking homework better next time (assign it for a week that there is a wide range of types of material covered), so that the results I get are more useful for me. Also, I might assign a follow-up homework for the few students who didn't do well on it the first time.
I forgot to implement one thing from my initial plan: asking students at the end of the semester about philosophical methods and note taking, and what they wished they had known sooner. I will try to implement that next time.
I think I might also try to spend some time before each paper to review some views that are commonly given in papers, and discuss to what extent they can be assumed to be true, and to what extent they require argument. It occurs to me that, even if students take decent notes, they may not review them before a paper in the same way that they would review them before a test, and so even if their notes tell them that some point is not assertable without argument, they may not recall this when writing the paper.
Looking back at my plans at the beginning of the semester from this institute, I also realized that I was a bit over-ambitious in terms of what I hoped to implement in this class. I had hoped to do a number of short reflection papers that I didn't do. I didn't do these this semester due to time limitations (short reflection papers don't take long to do in class, but discussing later what I saw in those papers takes time). Evidence suggests to me that I'm a bit on the slow side as a teacher – I tend to cover less content than many, perhaps most, other philosophy teachers. That's mostly intentional, but it means that I can't really cut content out of my class. I also can't cut out depth of discussion without giving up on my teaching goals. This is making it challenging for me to add components to my classes that take time. I think I need to reflect more on this.
Sharing with colleagues: Some of the philosophy graduate students are starting a wiki to compile summaries of different readings, arguments, and theories to make it easier for new teachers to get up to speed on them. I've been talking to them about including lesson plans and handouts that people have used to teach about these. If they want to include that sort of thing on the wiki, I'd definitely contribute some of what I've discussed here.
Appendix A (beginning of semester survey):
Philosophy 2220
First day survey
1. How many philosophy classes have you taken before this (don't count any you are taking this semester)?
2. How confident do you feel in your ability to take notes well in a philosophy class?
a) very confident
b) somewhat confident
c) not that confident
d) no confidence at all
3. Circle all of the following that you believe:
a) In a philosophy class, there are no, or very few, true claims to be learned
b) To do philosophy, all I have to do is to give my opinion
c) In a philosophy class, I will not have to learn anything that another student says
d) In philosophy, everything must always be argued for – everything is controversial
e) When taking notes, I should just write down everything the teacher puts on the board
f) Everything idea a teacher talks about is one that they think is true, and I should memorize it
g) In a philosophy class, all I need to learn are the main ideas and the evidence supporting them
h) When I do the assigned reading for class, I should treat everything an author says as true
i) It does not matter what I think about the issues we discuss in class
Appendix B (note taking homework)
Philosophy 2220 - Homework on Note Taking
As we discussed, student in philosophy classes sometimes have difficulty taking useful notes. This homework is to check that you are taking useful notes. If you are, it should be very easy. If you are not, it will help you improve, and also help me to give you any assistance you need.
Before I explain the homework, I'll repeat some ideas we covered in class.
In philosophy, some concepts are:
true and uncontroversially true (not only are they true, everyone who understands the subject agrees that they are true)
uncontroversially true but possibly false controversial (lots of disagreement about whether they are true or false)
uncontroversially false but possibly true
false and uncontroversially false (not only are they false, everyone who understands the subject agrees that they are false)
This is important because no one has time to argue for everything they believe. One sign that you can stop arguing is when no one is arguing with you. So, being able to recognize what is controversial or uncontroversial is important in order to know what needs to be argued for and what not. However, not everything that is widely believed to be true really is true, and there are some uncontroversial claims that you are welcome to disagree with, as long as you can support your view. It's important that you can tell this apart from those claims that no one should ever argue for (or against).
Because this is so important, your notes need to distinguish between these different categories.
Here is your assignment: On Monday, January 31st, turn in a copy of all of your notes for this week (from Monday, Jan 24 to Friday Jan 28). If you want to type your notes up, awesome. If you want to just xerox your handwritten notes, fine. But don't just hand in your notes; go through your notes and, using some sort of colored pens, pencils, or highlighters, indicate what category everything in your notes belongs to (put colored boxes around members of each category, or use colored highlighters, or underline them in various colors). Use the following colors:
LEAVE BLANK: true and uncontroversially true
YELLOW: uncontroversially true but possibly false
RED (PINK is fine too): controversial (lots of disagreement about whether they are true or false)
GREEN: uncontroversially false but possibly true
BLUE: false and uncontroversially false (not only are they false, everyone who understands the subject agrees that they are false)
You will be graded on whether you have the key concepts in your notes, and whether they are appropriately color coded (which shows that you understand our discussions).

School officials suspect abuse. Church members are divided—either she has a message from God or is possessed by a demon. Social workers interrupt an exorcism to wrest Hannah away from her momma, who has a tenuous grip on sanity.
Hidden in protective foster care for twelve years, she loses all contact with her mother and remains mute by choice.
When Hannah leaves foster care at age eighteen to search for Momma, a national debate rages over her silence.
A religious movement awaits her prophecy and celebrates her return. An anarchist group, Voices for the Voiceless, cites Hannah as its inspiration. The nation comes unhinged, and the conflict spills into the streets when presidential candidates chime in with their opinions on Hannah—patriotic visionary or dangerous radical. A remnant still believes she is evil and seeks to dispatch her from this world.
Hannah stands at the intersection of anarchists and fundamentalists, between power politics and an FBI investigation. All she wants is to find her momma, a little peace and quiet, and maybe some pancakes.
One word would put an end to the chaos... if only Hannah can find her voice.
And be sure to check out Robb Grindstaff's second novel, Carry Me Away, now available on Amazon.

text: As is true for many of us, I have limited funds and an appetite for more guns than I presently own! My dilemma right now is this: my SP101 is a very nice pistol and I like the various calibers it can shoot, but I find the .327 Magnum just a bit too snappy for my taste. So I have been considering trading it on a GP100, probably the .327 model, and this should pretty much take care of most of the recoil " problem". But I really hate to give up the 101: it handles the .32 H&R Magnum like it's a .22 and that is great at the range --- and I think it could do some real damage to any BG who comes along. I might even consider the GP in the .357 mode, but I haven't quite given up on the .327. Any thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated: THANKS in advance.

Weymouth New Testament (WNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
10 not that in this world you are to keep wholly aloof from such as they, any more than from people who are avaricious and greedy of gain, or from worshippers of idols. For that would mean that you would be compelled to go out of the world altogether. | 10 not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. |

Good Food, Limited Choices
Posted on 09 / 20 / 2013I have been trying the "veg-friendly" restaurants in the area. The Mellow Mushroom was far more so than the other 2 I have tried so far. However, It did not really have the healthy choices I was hoping to find. Everything was bread or dough.
They do have vegan cheese. They do not have whole wheat crust.
The service was OK. The food was very good. But the Veg-Friendly/Healthy option (while by far the best I have yet found) are really not that good.
Cons: Healthy Choices, Veg veriety

Are you speaking from personal experience? After I had unplugged it for about 1/2 hour, I tried it again, and voila, it performed as usual. It seemed a little hotter than usual, so I reduced the temp, and I'll have to keep an eye on it--it may be in its last throes, but at least I got dinner done last night! :) |
Have you contacted Breville? I had problems with mine when I first bought it (refurb) and the customer service was top notch. |

I planted these seeds over a week ago and they have been sprouted for about 5 days. As you can see, the containers are pretty small, so I was wondering if i have to wait to transplant them into the garden bed?
I planted them outdoors, where they have been the whole time, so temperature shouldn't be an issue. |
Follow-Up Postings:
i wait till they have there first true leaf but as small as your containers are, might be good to get them in the ground. |

Carl Froch: Only Lennox Lewis rivals me as best British boxer
World IBF super-middleweight champion Carl Froch says only heavyweight Lennox Lewis rivals him as the best British boxer.
Froch, 35, kept his title by claiming a thrilling points victory over Denmark's Mikkel Kessler in London on Saturday.

"The recognition has been a long time coming, but I'm getting the recognition I deserve now," Froch told BBC Sport.
"In Great Britain I'm number one. It's between me and Lennox Lewis, depending on how far you are going back."
Lewis was the undisputed world heavyweight champion and claimed victories over Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson and current WBC title holder Vitali Klitschko before retiring in 2003.
Andre Ward, who beat Froch on points in December 2011 in Atlantic City, could be the next opponent for the English fighter, but only if the 29-year-old American travels to Britain.
"If he comes to the UK there is a big chance of it happening," added Froch. "But he does not want to fight here, he has made that quite clear. He is waiting for me to go the States, but will be waiting a long time.
"He knows I will be at my best in Britain and he doesn't want to fight me at my best. He wants to fight me when I'm jet-lagged, against the crowd, against the judges and with everything in his favour.
"He said I would only be a great or a superstar if I fought in America, and I have done that. In the Super Six Boxing Classic I got to the final and lost a tight decision on points to him in America.
"That defeat has never hurt me as I felt I got pick-pocketed. It was more frustrating than hurtful."
Nottingham-based Froch has won 31 of his 33 contests and still wants to unify the division by winning the WBC belt.
"I'm a superstar in my own right, in my own country," said Froch.
"I can't think of any British fighter who can say they are more exciting than me because of the manner I conduct myself and my fighting style in the ring.
"Amir Khan and David Haye are involved in exciting fights but I have provided more frequent entertainment and I fight the best of the best.
"In the pound-for-pound rankings I'm in the top 10 in the world and, in terms of winning a fight, Andre Ward is number two.
"But on a pound-for-pound list for entertainment I would not put him in the top 20. It's an entertainment business and if you don't entertain you won't get any fights."

31st May 2013 - 23:25The fight with Ward seems to get closer every time Froch talks about it. Despite being in the US he got more points than he deserved. It wasn't a close fight, he wasn't pick pocketed, he was well beaten. I'd rate Vegas and Atlantic City fairer to overseas fighters than the UK tbf. No rough justice or poor refereeing in that fight. He's in T20 UK BOAT but in the mix with other v good fighters.

31st May 2013 - 22:39Can't disagree with any of it.
Comment number 380.
31st May 2013 - 18:49And can I just say there are fighters like Manfredo on Calzaghes record but that doesn't make JC a bad fighter. As has been mentioned before there are lots of good names on there but his haters only want to concentrate on the bad names. When he fought Hopkins, his 1st at LHW and 1st in the US he had a bad first rd, Froch fought Taylor in his first big US fight and had 11 bad rds.
Comment number 379.
31st May 2013 - 18:41Not one there win on Froch's CV as good as prime, genuine, undefeated Kessler at SMW or legend Hopkins at LHW. In fact Froch has done nothing north of 168.
And, if the Hopkins is so past it how come Froch schooled Pascal a few years after the Calzaghe fight and, how come Froch wants nothing to do with Hopkins, at a catchweight, at home, 5 years later?
Exactly! -
Comment number 378.
31st May 2013 - 18:37I just want to make it clear I am in no way saying Froch's opponents were hand picked. My point is he can't just have a run of tough fights and declare himself the best British fighter of all time because that's just nonsense.
I will say it again, he has never found a way of dealing with genuine hand speed, and had JC fought Pascal AA and Johnson he wouldn't get credit as he'd have beat them easy

"O for a muse of napalm..."
Years in the making, As Long As It's Big is a stunning and unique poetic achievement. By turns rollicking, funny, and deeply moving, this dramatic poem tells a tragic story -- the collapse of a marriage after the suicide of a child -- within the topsy-turvy venue of a divorce court ruled by an alternately cynical and sentimental judge. John Bricuth cleanly balances sensitive portrayals of painful lives with hilarity, chaos, and occasionally ribald caricatures. Hugely entertaining and immensely readable, Bricuth's verse narrative will absorb anyone seeking to unravel the truths of modern family life.

Yet even the Times's lengthy and thoughtful approach to the IPCC report left relevant ethical considerations mostly implied. Compare that to one of the paper's more recent articles from March in the International Herald Tribune, which took a deeper look at the developed world's failure to help the less fortunate adapt. It included many of the same broad strokes that appeared in the earlier IPCC coverage, but reporter Elisabeth Rosenthal also included a passage that brought the global inequity closer to home:
Here in New York this week I faced my own little climate-related disruption: because of global grain shortages, created in part by the rush into biofuels, the price of a bagel has gone to $1.20 from 60 cents in the past year. New Yorkers are all aghast at the rise, but it pales next to these larger problemsCurrently, the international response to climate change favors large projects to cut global emissions. There are generous incentives for converting dirty-coal power stations in China to cleaner technology, for example, but there is no encouragement for another cause: helping a farming village in Africa adjust to hotter temperatures and the degradation of its land into desert.
This brings us back to the reporter's question at dinner last week about SUVs and Ugandan coffee crops. Should his readers feel responsible? Perhaps. A recent Gallup poll found that while the number of Americans who believe that human greenhouse-gas emissions are warming the planet has increased in the last year, the number that worries about it hasn't. Maybe that's a result of apathy, but it's likely more a matter of lacking proper ethical context. It is one thing for The New York Timeses and The Washington Posts of the world to cover the broad international and national disparities that are aggravated by climate change, but the reporters at last week's dinner wanted to know how they could "localize" those issues.
In fact, a good opportunity to do just that cropped up only twelve hours later when The Brookings Institution released a per capita greenhouse gas inventory for the 100 largest U.S. metropolitan areas. Judging by my Internet searches, it seems that almost every local and regional paper in America covered the inventory. As with the IPCC report, however, most articles presented the information in a very dry, this-is-where-we-rank fashion. Not a single reporter seems to have wrestled, at least in print, with questions such as: What is a fair share of emissions and how is that determined? If our current emissions exceed our fair share, how might we reduce them in an equitable manner relevant to other American cities? Or how might we reduce them in an equitable manner that is relevant to foreign cities? What kinds of sacrifices might we be willing to make to achieve different levels of equity?
If reporters had posed such questions, they may have come up with very interesting stories indeed. This week, British legislators "scrapped radical plans to test a carbon rationing scheme that would have forced citizens to carry a carbon card to swipe every time they bought petrol or paid an electricity bill," according to an article in the Guardian. The paper quoted the government as saying that the plan could have led "to failure and subsequent public distrust and ridicule." Unfortunately, the article didn't go into details, but it hinted at an important ethical conundrum: it is morally correct to protect the environment, but it is morally suspect for government to intrusively monitor its citizens. Those competing values must be weighed against each other.
Ethical dilemmas such as that are implicit in many climate-related articles. It is rare that they are stated explicitly, however, and that is unfortunate. Whether the question is broad (such as whether or not the U.S. should limit greenhouse gases even if China and India do not) or narrow (such as whether or not people should carry carbon cards) news readers often answer them intuitively. But it is reasonable to assume that they might answer them differently (or at least from a more informed perspective) if reporters actually laid out all the ethical considerations involved. Do China and India deserve a reprieve from emissions limits because they are still developing economies? Does the right to privacy supersede the responsibility to protect the environment? How does what we know about science, economics, and politics inform such decisions?
As physicist Freeman Dyson suggested in a review of climate-related cost-benefit analyses for The New York Review of Books, people might accept that the ethical imperative to protect the environment is "fundamentally sound," but find that "the obsession with global warming [is] distracting public attention from more serious and more immediate danger to the planet, including problems of nuclear weaponry, environmental degradation, and social injustice."

The good news is Tina Fey was the youngest person and the third woman ever to receive the Mark Twain Prize for Humor last week, and great comedians like Steve Martin, Amy Poehler, Betty White, and Tracy Morgan had plenty of great things to say about her. The bad news is PBS is lame, and they cut a part of her acceptance speech where she talked about Sarah Palin and the politics of conservative women. The unedited speech leaked, however, and went viral, exposing what the network deemed worthy of censoring editing.
The joke PBS didn't air was, "And, you know, politics aside, the success of Sarah Palin and women like her is good for all women - except, of course --those who will end up, you know, like, paying for their own rape kit 'n' stuff. But for everybody else, it's a win-win. Unless you're a gay woman who wants to marry your partner of 20 years - whatever. But for most women, the success of conservative women is good for all of us. Unless you believe in evolution. You know - actually, I take it back. The whole thing's a disaster."
Unsurprisingly, PBS is claiming the cut had nothing to do with politics, but rather with time. Apparently, the show was already running 19 minutes too long, and "everyone got snipped".
I guess they figured those 30 seconds of Fey's speech just wouldn't make a difference, huh.
The part of her speech that got edited has been flagged from youtube, by the way, but in this segment of Anderson Cooper's show on CNN, you can see both clips; cut and uncut.

East Valley veterans will soon have a central location to meet with college advisers, find out about benefits and services, and network.
Five Maricopa Community Colleges – Chandler-Gilbert, Mesa, Scottsdale, Gateway and Rio Salado – are collaborating to create the East Valley Veterans Center, which will open in January in offices near Broadway and Price roads in Tempe.
"We're trying to create a national model," said Yvonne Lawrence, coordinator of recruitment program for military education at Rio Salado College.
There are about 3,000 veterans using education benefits in the community colleges coming together for the new center. Most — about 1,500 — are at Mesa Community College. Another 1,000 are taking classes through Rio Salado.
There are more than 568,000 veterans in Arizona. Greg Livingston, 32, is one of them. He's been taking classes for the past two years working on his prerequisites to enter nursing school.
Livingston served from 1999-2004 in the U.S. Army with the 82nd Airborne Division. He achieved an emergency medical technician certificate after graduating from high school in the Valley, but did not return to college until his military service ended.
Livingston said it took about a month to start classes from the time he started researching schools, filling out paperwork for his G.I. benefits and finding a school that would accept them.
He said a one-stop spot for veterans would be "awesome."
Even scheduling an appointment with his counselor took time because at that point there was only one veterans education coordinator at the school.
Then, "the papers in and of itself are confusing" to use the G.I. Bill.
The idea behind the center is to simplify it all, Lawrence said.
"We're basically trying to cut some of the red tape in getting veterans enrolled, getting them access to their educational benefits from the VA and reintegration from active-duty service to civilian life," she said.
The center will be staffed with four full-time members, plus part-time staff depending on the needs. There will also be work-study positions, student veterans working office positions.
The center will open sometime the end of January at 2055 E. Cottonwood Drive. Until then, veterans can get information about the program by calling (480) 517-8153.

Decades from now, the Saleen Dan Gurney H281SC Signature Edition (whew!) could be a hotly sought-after collectible, limited as it is to 300 copies. Right now, though, it strikes me as perhaps the most ostentatious car in a seemingly endless string of pricey Ford Mustang iterations.
That's not to say that the Gurney isn't any good. That 465-hp, 281-cubic-inch (4.6-liter) V-8 can certainly take you for a good ride, particularly with more than 7 psi of boost registering on the dashtop gauge pod. Apply more than a kiss of throttle in first gear and you're goin' sideways; short shift into second and jump on the gas--sideways again. (Like my colleagues, though, I prefer working the throwback shifter in some of Roush's hotter Mustang variants.)
Rounding corners can be huge fun, too, although (as Joe noted) you've got to pay attention if you want to avoid mangling or scratching all the Gurney-specific garnish against a nearby fence. Those stripes, eagles, hood pins, banners, and stickers all help to make this car stand out from more prosaic 'Stangs, but honestly, I prefer the purer look of Ford's base Mustang GT, sans spoiler.
Surely the $57,000 base price includes earplugs! Cruising at 55 mph or so in fifth gear is ear-splitting, thanks to the boomy powertrain resonations inside the cabin. I regularly selected a lower, less economical gear so that the sounds didn't make my head spin. The interior sights can also be a bit much, what with the host of eagles and logos and Detroit Lions-esque Alcantara seat covers. Our car, serial number 57, did have a real Gurney autograph on the dashboard, though: VERY cool.
Still, I can see how a hard-core Mustang lover could save a prominent spot for a Gurney in his or her dream garage.

I have been using this product for about 8 months now - every 3 weeks or so. I have used almost all of the other drugstore brands in the past, but I like this one the best right now.
I tried it initially because I wanted to stop lightening my hair - my natural color is a dark brunette. I was coloring to a medium ash blonde and I wanted a drastic change - a very, very dark brown/almost black. Loved the color on the box! This product worked great for completely covering my old blonde color and the shiny silver grays. It doesn't dry my hair as much as some of the others brands I've tried and doesn't fade nearly as fast.
I wish they would give you more conditioner - maybe 1.5 times what they have now. My hair is super thick and sucks it right up. That's the only negative I have. I can't see myself switching away from this product.
The only reason I'm not giving this product 5 stars is because I've only used it once so far, and I still need to see how my hair responds to this color when I've been using it for a longer period of time. So far, though: AWESOME! I have naturally dark brown hair, that I've been dying a dark coppery auburn for some time - recently I was sick of the red and went to my stylist to go brown again. He did a great job and I loved the new darker me. However, I can't afford to go to my stylist for colorings right now and the red was starting to show through a bit again, so I read the reviews and bought this color. I loved it right off: darker than my natural color, but not goth black. And it looked so even and shiny! Then I saw my stylist recently and asked him for his honest opinion: three thumbs up, baby! He agreed that my hair looked perfectly even and was in great shape and that the color rocked! Woohoo - all that for $ 4! I'm so in love with my hair right now!

This is my go-to haircolor when I want something deeper than my natural hair color, without going totally black. Brown Black is unusually lovely; it manages to be multitonal and interesting without deviating from its darkness and depth of color. It makes my fair skin look even creamier and my lips rosier - I tend to need a little more blush than usual, though, when my hair is this dark, but I don't terribly mind. This is a great color for winter!

I have been dying my hair for approximately 10 years, so I have tried different brands throughout that time frame. Colorsilk is definitely one of the better brands. The dye does not have that over the top smell that accompanies most brands. Of course all hair dye is damaging but this brand seems to be the most gentle. This particular shade should be labeled natural black since you will not notice much brown at all. My advice for anyone with dark hair, try out Colorsilk's dark brown first since that shade, in my opinion is still extremely dark and looks a bit more natural.
9 out of 9 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I must admit, I had become a "haircolor snob", because I would only dye my hair using professional dyes from Sally's or Barnums. However, I have tried most of the drugstore brands throughout the years. I just wanted a haircolor that will darken my light ash brown hair to a darker/richer brown, and look even from root to tip...no lighter/brassier roots! Colorsilk was the only one I hadn't tried yet, but I'm so glad I did! I love the shade "Dark Brown", but when I want an even darker brown, I use "Brown Black". I leave it on for 25 min (the roots for 20 min. and then pull through ends for the last 5 min). Brown Black starts off a beautiful natural light black shade, and then fades to a BEAUTIFUL, rich, very, very dark chocolate brown. It's truly multi-tonal and natural looking, with chocolate and blackish highs and lows. And as damaged and porous as my hair is, the color turns out TOTALLY even, from root to tip! AND it made my hair a lot more silky, manageable, and shiny. Yes, the gloves suck a$$, and yes, the conditioner is in a packet, not a tube, but I really don't care about all that. I only care about the end result of my color. No other brand has given me such beautiful even results like Colorsilk does! This is a perfect example of quality NOT correlating with price (considering this stuff is less than $3 a box!) SO in love w/Colorsilk!!!

New home not moved into yet. We are in south with huge rains. Walkout basement with french drains that worked until the got clogged as we did not extend them long enough to clear construction dirt buildup. Result is water seeping through basement walls. We built usingcinder blocks, filled with rebar steel and filled with concrete. we put moisture proof sealer on walls interior and had painted 2 coates of ames saterproof sealer on exterior plus a foam board to keep rock from damaging wall sealant before we backfilled with rocks then sand. We sustained 20 inches of rain in 24 hours. Basement loked great until 6 hours later, water built up and could not get out. We dug up and found drains, cleaned and water gushed out. Guess the trouble of backfilling with rock and sand was good idea as it is getting to french drain, just blocked. So I know it will work but problem is much greater. We built 8' x 60' concrete porch on back side of house above basement that is underground theinking that water will never get in there...wrong. We have exposed soil which is sandy-clay, mostly clay. They graded and were ready to put grass down. Well, we left a 2' x 2' hole in two areas inf ront of porch for plumber to put cut-off valves for us where water lines enter home. Rain came first. It filled holes with water then pushed through under concrete porches and left huge voids under. Rain came again and now continued to make void under attached garage that attaches to one corner of basement. Now water is running around corner and lying in large hole against house. How do you fill these voids, we cannot reach them. Will anything last or will it continue to happen? Will that bentonite stuff work? Any ideas would be very much appreciated. No one has basements in the south, guess we know why now.

1. Contemporary cars often have door handles placed on a surface accent line. Here they are below, and the profile gets a length benefit from wheelhouse to taillight.
2. Derived initially from a sharp crease in the front bumper, this line softens but continues the entire length of the body.
3. This tiny quarter window lets in a bit of light, but it's really there to allow the encircling chrome band to describe a dynamic profile, pointed at both ends.
4. This bulging shape over the front wheel disrupts the long side highlight and allows the body portion to be higher through the doors, the viewer's eye providing continuity.
5. Highly swept back and compound-curved, the windshield is in fact almost flat in plan view, allowing a longer hood panel than is usual in small front-wheel-drive cars. Clever.
6. Dropping the hood line inboard of the fender again gives the impression of greater length than is actually present.
7. Notice that the nose panel is integral with the bumper, making this whole piece relatively cheap and easy to change for a midlife face-lift.
8. Surely the best expression of the characteristic Kia grille, this iteration uses a plan-view curve to thrust the center part forward dynamically.
9. Most cooling air actually comes through this unobtrusive lower intake, the texture of which continues outside the open area.
10. Some effort was made to avoid the generic round foglamp lens, but this whole area is rather messy and not up to the overall standard of the exterior.
11. A convex surface in the lower portion of the doors is expressed in a sharp crease rising toward the rear. In profile it helps lighten the visual mass of the rear body.
12. A nice little outward flare of the sill provides coverage of the rear tire, diverting airflow around the wheel opening.
13. This rising windowsill line is dramatic, perhaps too much so, as rear-three-quarter visibility is seriously compromised.
14. Deceptive large-glass/small-daylight-opening backlight hinders rearward visibility. This is becoming a real problem on many new cars and may have to be addressed with legal standards.
15. Breaking the taillights into two parts allows a fairly simple hatch opening that's wide all the way down, but the loading height is far above the ground.
16. This external panel on the rear hatch extends the roofline for aerodynamics, puts the CHMSL in a good place, and provides shade for rear passengers.
17. Seemingly present on 90 percent of modern cars, the light-catching panel below the hatch opening is mercifully small on the Cee'd.
18. Rear reflectors are integrated into shapes that are much more successful than the foglight surrounds in front.
19. Nice use of contrasting color and texture makes the seats visually attractive. Their form makes them extremely comfortable.
20. Highly visible stitching in a contrasting color makes this interior seem far more luxurious than would the usual all-one-color solution.
21. Details like the accordion rolltop cover for the tunnel cubby suggest luxury, even if they're all cheap, injection-molded plastic parts.
22. A glare shield above the instruments sweeps over the central console, clearly separating the "driver's office" from the passenger space.

Police are searching for a suspect who stabbed a firefighter who was responding to a call at a downtown Los Angeles hotel.
Officials say firefighter Charles MacDougall, a nine-year department veteran, is hospitalized in stable condition after Tuesday morning's attack.
Fire Department spokesman Richard Matheney says MacDougall and a colleague were treating someone who had fallen ill at the Cecil Hotel when somebody alerted them to a second person who needed help. When they went to check on the condition of that person, an assailant attacked MacDougall and stabbed him in the chest and back.
Police say the hotel, which serves low-income residents, has been plagued with drug dealing and other crimes.

Although mutation rates are a key determinant of the rate of evolution they are difficult to measure precisely and global mutations rates (mutations per genome per generation) are often extrapolated from the per-base-pair mutation rate assuming that mutation rate is uniform across the genome. Using budding yeast, we describe an improved method for the accurate calculation of mutation rates based on the fluctuation assay. Our analysis suggests that the per-base-pair mutation rates at two genes differ significantly (3.80x10(-10) at URA3 and 6.44x10(-10) at CAN1) and we propose a definition for the effective target size of genes (the probability that a mutation inactivates the gene) that acknowledges that the mutation rate is nonuniform across the genome.
