Problem: you have 500 vinyl records, a new turntable and you just got an iPod nano onto which to rip songs. The 6-year-old Mac you've dedicated to music projects due to large storage won't run the most recent version of iTunes, which controls the iPod and other Apple devices. And what files do you tell Audacity to convert songs into - and do you need a copy of Audacity on two computers, so that a PC or newer Mac can convert the files from Audacity's .aup file to something the iPod can read? And can you drag/drop onto the iPod or does iTunes control that, too - and which version of iTunes? The old on the music project Mac or on the Mac/PC that has the newer version of iTunes that can talk to the iPod?
First world problems.
The simple way would be to have either a brand new Mac or PC (or even a Linux desktop at the initial burning stage) with outboard storage and do everything on one computer.
However, as John Belushi would say, "Buuuuuuuuuut Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo".
I insist on using an old Mac for ripping and a Win7 box for loading. Plus there's the issue of how to get out of a vintage stereo receiver into a computer... here's how I did it.
Preparation -
1. Setup A consists of conventional receiver, speakers and new turntable with both RCA and USB output.
2. Setup B consists of older Mac with whatever version of iTunes was current when unit was delivered, and newest version of AUDACITY for Mac
(available for almost anything at http://www.audacity.sourceforge.net)
and a USB-to-miniUSB cable connected.
3. Setup C consists of recent Win7 box with iPod connected and latest iTunes for Windows download. plus newest version of AUDACITY for Windows.
Stragety -
A. Ignore iTunes on the older computer.
B. Ignore the conventional stereo during recording. Use the powered speaker system on the Mac locally. Switch on the turntable's internal preamp (this would be a modern USB-era turntable - I use an Audio Technica ATLP-120usb) for recording to the computer and switch it off for normal playback to the conventional stereo.
C. Fire up Audacity on the first computer (older Mac dedicated to music production) and hit File / New and hit the record button.
D. Start the turntable (since Audacity is recording you can hear, or monitor, the record through the computer speakers now), queue up before the song, scratches and all.
E. Record the song and delete the extra stuff before and after the song (which you can wipe off of the graphic screen with the mouse).
F. Hit File / save project, give the rip a name and put it in a file named ".aup files".
G. Put onto thumb drive or push it to the newer PC over a network.
H. Open the file with iTunes on the newer computer on which iTunes can talk to the iPod.
I. Export the .aup file in iTunes to some converted file that the iPod likes. Put exported files into a file named ".aup conversions". I haven't figured out the trick regarding the library for Apple Lossless yet, so I'm using AAC at the moment.
J. Drag/drop the converted file from your storage location of ".aup conversions" onto the iTunes playlist window and it syncs from app to player when it senses that you've hooked up the iPod.
Done. Simple, eh? By the way, I went with the iPod as a player since my car stereo has a cable connection for one, and front panel controls for when it's hooked up. So I had to try it. The car system is a bit laggy on the commands (takes almost a second, not really instant) but good enough. The bottom line here is that you can rip on Audacity for Windows, Mac or Linux and maybe other things too - but how to get the ripped file converted and into the player? That's where you have to have any computer that runs the latest iTunes and from there it just syncs the player. Just two steps, really: create the .aup project file on anything, get that file into the latest iTunes for conversion and you're pretty much there.

I was a lot like her son as a teen. Today, I don't own a TV and play one game about 2 hours a week. This is also the first game I've played in probably 5 years.

The Government should promote organic farming and spread more awareness about it among the farmers, said zilla panchayat member Panchappa Kalburgi.
He was speaking after inaugurating Krishi Utsav at Hitnalli farms here on Saturday. The utsav was organised by the district administration, zilla panchayat and the Department of Agriculture.
According to Mr. Kalburgi, with every passing year as the area under farming is reducing it has become necessary for farmers to cultivate high-yielding crops so that the increasing demand can be met.
He spoke at length on the lack of awareness on the use of fertilizers among farmers. He said, "It is the responsibility of the policy makers in the country to do some serious planning and create awareness on the use of fertilizers and organic farming so that there is no confusion among farmers and they get the guidance needed at the right time", he added. Mr. Kalburgi also urged the Government to stop issuing permits to establish liquor shops in rural areas.

Way to step up East Fork! That there's a perfect unemployed steelheader's stick. That's a better rod than many of us, employed or not, used to harvest many a steelhead over the years. Sg
i began steelheading last january after i was laid off. caught my first steelhead on a 6 day campout on the OP involving cheap booze, pasta, and a borrowed rod. with a fly i tied on a $30 vice. being laid off afforded me the time to do my research, tie flies, and find my way to the river day in and day out. most everyone is stuck to a work schedule. while they spend all week on here, checking gauges and weather reports hoping the rivers will be in shape for saturday, you my friend should be on the river. get a map. cover water. sleep in your car. drink hamms. and learn the way. man i hope i get laid off.
i like to think that i put myself in a position to get laid off in august... just before all the runs got goin :thumb:

After a math lecture in Harvard the students went to the cafeteria and each one of them took a cup of tea and cheese sandwich. They all paid $18.94. How many students where they?
As stated here, there is no plausible solution. In fact, 1894 = 2×947, both of which factors are prime. So either there were 2 students and the cafeteria was ripping them off, or there were 947 students and the cafeteria is heavily subsidised.
In fact, I believe that the total payment should be $18.49. In that case, 1849 = 43^2. That gives a unique solution: 43 students, each paying 43¢. That's pretty good value for tea and a sandwich. I guess the cafeteria is subsidised after all.

Very good
Location and the staff were excellent. Very friendly and helpful. Very clean and comfortable. Awesome value for the price. Nice continental breakfast but I wish the coffee cups were a bit taller.
Wifi needs improvement and the coffee cups in the lobby need to be a little bit taller.
Location convenient to interstate, desk staff was nice and helpful. TV worked well with a good selection of channels.
A sign in the lobby said they are renovating. It needs it now as everything is worn, and outdated. The room had one chair but no table to sit at if we'd chosen to eat in the room as the key suggested - calling out for pizza. No place to put our suitcase so I opened the ironing board and used it as a suitcase rack. Breakfast was limited to sweets. Not a good value for our $141 a night.
location good, parking easy
couldnt get them to leave coffee for coffee maker, toilet paper, new sheets. I actually left a note requesting new sheets and a ten dollar bill. I did get them. Roaches.
Noise Bathroom door hard to close because of toilet seat
We were close to everything, the room was good,continental brkfst was good.There was a very good variety. The staff was friendly. It would be ok for a night but we were thinking of asking for cots to sleep on.Make sure you take all of your own basics.
We didn't like the beds,they were hard as bricks.When the room was cleaned they would forget towels, coffe packs and parking was fight for the right.As one of the reviews said when you asked about places to go,they would send you way out of town.The room was not as nice as we had read about. It is true don't believe everything you see or read.
Nothing. Had no other choice but to stay there. Last available room in entire Asheville area
Only one wall had power. No lights in the bathroom. Had to take shower in the dark. Sink still had tooth paste stains from last guest. Room smelled horrible from cigarettes.
this unsafe area continued around the clock - at 3:00 am they were outside of our door. Someone tried to come in on us at 3:00 in the afternoon. We'll never go back.
THe lady at the desk was very kind and suggested that I stay in the room next to the office.
I'm an older woman traveling alone and unavoidably arrived late. THere were large trucks in the lot and people on the balconies. I was apprehensive about even stopping.
Was able to book at the last minute.
The air conditioner was very noisy,when coming on and there were some very unruly guest banging on doors at 2:00 AM
Location was convenient to where we needed to be.
-Rooms were not ready upon arrival( which was 2 hours past the posted check in time)! -Front Desk staff not treated very professionally by management -Found a bug in the room -No real cream for coffee -Once we were in a room, there weren't any towels
Location, Value,
The one lady was very short and I feel rude with customers. She checked us in at 130pm, and was there the next morning to check us out. The lady I talked with around 6pm on Saturday was very nice and helpful, all the things I asked the lady earlier that she would not help me with, this young lady did. After I checked out I grabed a cup of coffee. There was a gentleman there that had a bowl of cereal and was looking for the milk. So I asked the lady about it, she was very short and stated that breakfast was over at 9am. So if that was so and it was now way after 9am, why did they not remove all the food items that may need another item to eat them?
Location, stayed several time before. Small maintenance problem was fixed immediately. Rate was among lowest in area.
Could have been cleaner. Door did not close properly at bottom. Could see outside(notified desk on checkout.) Appears corners cut to maintain low rates.
Good location. Clean room and good price for what we got.
We booked a nonsmoking room and were given a smoking room. Had to change rooms. Because of this instead of a King bed we had two smaller beds.
The bed seemed fairly new and the breakfast was good.
There were yellow stains on the sheets and towels. I found this to be unacceptable.
Sheets were clean and the beds were comfortable.
Bathroom, floors, and countertops weren't very clean.
I suppose we got what we paid for.
Torn shower curtain, missing towels, very worn linens.
i liked the location the most.every place we wanted to go was right off the i 64 ,just go left or right and places were easy to locate as well as to get back to the hotel.
i didnt like the fact that the hotel staff didnt know about the events happening locally,we wanted to hear music at a bar or someplace and instead of keeping us in hendersonville,they said ashville.we went into town and their was live music in the local businesses .i think instead of sending your guests out of town to spend money you should keep it local.
bed bug infested. I captured about 8 bugs and left them in a cup for them to see. i checked in after 9 pm and left at 7 am as i needed to be somewhere on Sat. This place also charged me taxes on top of the booking.com charge.
Front desk clerk was great.
Furnishings & linens seemed old, tired. Loveseat in room seemed dirty. Breakfast was very disappointing.
Convient and quiet.
Poor pillows (hard and too thick). The carpet replacemet was way over do in this unit. I mentioned to the mod that the heat was on full and never shut off all night. Iwas cold outside though but it bad for the electric bill.

There's something to be said for DREDD's not taking itself too seriously, and if you do the same, you'll have a ball watching it.
A tremendously entertaining film that consistently pushes the limits of 3D creativity in a way to seem like the images are leaping straight from the comic book panels.
Dredd is like a gun - not everyone likes them and they're only good for one thing, but they do that one thing really, really well.
Visually stunning with video game violence, this is Hollywood's answer to The Raid.
If Hollywood is going to be indicted for making mindlessly violent action films, let them at least be as good as this one.
Lean, mean and luridly violent, sci-fi action thriller Dredd does a much better job of bringing cult comic-book anti-hero Judge Dredd to the screen than the misfiring 1995 Sylvester Stallone version.
"Dredd" is non-stop action plus excellent 3D effects peppering an above-average story.
The judges are portrayed pretty uncompromisingly unlike the Stallone flick which tried to tone down the whole Fascist Police State thing.
A very entertaining and blood soaked action science fiction flick...
The stunningly violent Dredd 3D strips out pretense of satire, a crucial element of the British comic.
Erase your memories of Sly's bomb with this, director Pete Travis and writer/producer Alex Garland's lean reboot.
Whether by design or otherwise, Dredd seems better-suited to a 2D home video presentation than to the 3D silver screen.
Tonally one-note, and that note is grim, nihilistic, super-stylized, violent and humorless. But it's a spectacular technical feat, hugely loyal to its source ... an extremely expensive arthouse action flick for the die-hard crowd.
All gunplay and no guts ... unless you count the brain matter smeared across most of the film.
Far from the mess of the 1995 Sylvester Stallone version - in which they made the mistake of taking the character's helmet off - this all-new take on the no-nonsense comic book anti-hero is a tightly packed, trapped-in-a-building action blamfest.
Grim, stylish, relentlessly violent - this is the balls-to-the-wall Dredd movie fans have been waiting for.
...Dredd is one of the year's purest, most gratifying genre films.
Never too ambitious in its storytelling, but consistently impressive in execution, Dredd is an outlier in the vast wasteland of Hollywood's overproduction-line.
What Dredd lacks in satirical insight - a bizarre oversight, given its dystopian view of America's east coast - it makes up for in sheer brute force and meat-head violence.
Dredd not only succeeds as a brilliantly accurate adaptation of the decades-old comic book character, it's also an absolutely blistering and exciting dystopian action movie.
Audience Reviews for Dredd
Taking more from the original comic than the 1995 adaptation, "Dredd" is simple, bloody, gory, gross, action packed, and thrilling. This new Dredd (Urban) is played as a straw man Clint Eastwood, who is vetting a young psychic (Thirlby) for active duty. Their interplay makes for an interesting team, and adds tension to an already thrilling plot. Lena Headey was an sound choice of villain, and she remains threatening throughout, especially when she calls for violence against her own people. Most of the film is set within the confines of a single housing project in a poverty stricken area of a futuristic world. Designer drugs come into play, there's economic and social disparity, and much of the film shows how big this world is without being explicit in details. It's paced rather well, and there's a lot of potential for a sequel. This truly delivers where other action films are happy to stand on the sidelines.
MoreSuper Reviewer
Keeping the dark, edginess of the original 2000 AD comic this is also a visually impressive piece of sci-fi, with some great use of 3D. The only thing that lets it down is the story is very short with limited scope, it really needs a more epic sequel.
MoreSuper Reviewer
Not the typical sci-fi film in terms of tone and style, but I ate it up like the sci-fi geek I am. Karl Urban is simply hardcore. I think they did an excellent job at how this film was presented. The gore and killing may at times seem absurd (how many splattered heads can you get in one movie?) but I guiltily enjoyed every single moment. I am anxiously waiting for a sequel.
MoreSuper Reviewer
A day in the life of a tough as nails cop, set in a dystopian universe where violence is everyday and human life is worthless, Alex Garland's adaptation of Dredd will not only please the fans, it's smart, brutal, and a hell of a lot of fun.

Dredd Quotes

- Judge Dredd:
- Choke on that.
- Judge Dredd:
- Inhabitants of Peach Trees, this is Judge Dredd.
- Ma-Ma:
- Let him talk.
- Judge Dredd:
- In case you people have forgotten, this block operates under the same rules as the rest of the city. Ma-Ma is not the law... I am the law.
- Judge Dredd:
- Ma-Ma is a common criminal; guilty of murder, guilty of the manufacture and distribution of the narcotic known as Slo-Mo, and as of now under sentence of death. Any who obstruct me in carrying out my duty will be treated as an accessory to her crimes... you have been warned.
- Judge Dredd:
- And as for you Ma-Ma... judgement time.
- Judge Dredd:
- America is an irradiated wasteland. Within it lies a city. Outside the boundary walls, a desert. A cursed earth. Inside the walls, a cursed city, stretching from Boston to Washington D.C. An unbroken concrete landscape. 800 million people living in the ruin of the old world and the mega structures of the new one. Mega blocks. Mega highways. Mega City One. Convulsing. Choking. Breaking under its own weight. Citizens in fear of the street. The gun. The gang. Only one thing fighting for order in the chaos: the men and women of the Hall of Justice. Juries. Executioners. Judges.

We checked some prices with external shops, and the differences were small. Of course, we didn't try the local circuit, and had no idea of the "real" prices.- Arts and Culture
- Beaches
General: The Higher the Better
It seems as though the farther away from the beach you get the cheaper everything becomes.
What to buy: Keep in mind, though, that the farther away you get you'll also have fewer selections.
What to pay: Much cheaper on most things than anywhere I've been.- Budget Travel
Breezes Runaway Bay On Site Shop: Small but sufficient
On-Site Store with essentials as well as t-shirts, necklaces, and Blue Mountain Coffee.
The only thing I found to be overpriced was film and batteries.
What to buy: Blue Mountain Coffee - same price as on the street
T-Shirts for Souvenirs - actually on sale at 3 for $20. Good deal when you have 6 kids waiting at home for a shirt!
Necklaces with the Jamaican Colored Beads
Jamaican Rum
What to pay: Depends on how many people you are taking souvenirs home to.

EOS Bodies / Re: New mirror mechanisms - how is this a good thing?
« on: February 14, 2015, 01:05:00 AM »Reduction of the mirror's vibration is a huge deal. The difference using live view is very noticeable in most situations. Mirror/shutter delay is also a big step for improving quality for landscape work. The biggest advantage will some for wildlife photographers using long lenses where the slightest mirror induced vibration kills the fine detail in an animals coat or the feather detail in birds. Even though the 5Ds/SR was designed for landscape and portrait photographers, I think the nature photographers will be the big winners. We need a good side by side shootout video with a Nikon D800 to see how effective the anti-vibration is.
how about an electronic mirror. so you can turn on and off the reflective surface. Not sure if it would be possible, ...
I'm pretty sure canon already has the patent for the technology

Sure if you throw it at the bad guy.
"Is .25 ACP of any use for self defence ? " The only answer is yes. Is it the best choice? No Would I look down on you if the 25 was your choice? No
Just walking on the edge of of my grave.
If its all you have its great If not then no
Texan By Birth & Choice USMC/VIET NAM VET
Proper placement is key with all calibers.
Would rather shoot someone with a .25 and piss them off, than throw a rock and really piss them off.
Oh dern.... Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
ive carried a beretta 25 for years... better than nothing and esp in hotter weather... sorta like carrying a cell phone, a little heavier... lately ive been carrying a taurus 380 and a beretta nano 9mm... i think you might be better served with a higher cal. there are several 380's that are great for pocket carry... lot of it, is what you are comfortable with... and if you can run after you shoot someone with the 25
Thousands of military and police carry them for deep cover back up. a .25 between the eyes is better than a .45 in the gut.
I read about a cop who shot a guy 17 times including the final three in the head that were finally fatal, he was using a .40 cal. ...yea talk about spray and pray.
The police cannot protect the citizen at this stage of our development, and they cannot even protect themselves in many cases. It is up to the private citizen to protect himself and his family, and this is not only acceptable, but mandatory. - Col. Jeff Cooper.

"That was the first time Ireland tested out the state – corporate nexus. What they were doing was very simple. They were sorting out their template here in Rossport. The line is: 'go in hard',"
by M. Ní Sheighin Friday, Jul 29 2005, 2:02pmBelow is a link to a story from The Nation by Naomi Klein on how, among other issues, the resources of a country should be used to benefit the people of the country from which oil/gas is extracted, and how this has not been the case in Nigeria, Bolivia and elsewhere.
It provides an interesting parallel with Ireland, except that Third World countries still reap more benefits financially from gas/oil exploration in their territories than is the case in Ireland, where our natural resources are given away for a song.'''Oil wealth urged to save Africa,' reads the headline in London's Observer. Here is a better idea: Instead of Saudi Arabia's oil wealth being used to ''save Africa,'' how about if Africa's oil wealth was used to save Africa--along with its gas, diamond, gold, platinum, chromium, ferroalloy and coal wealth? With all this noblesse oblige focused on saving Africa from its misery, it seems like a good time to remember someone else who tried to make poverty history: Ken Saro-Wiwa, who was killed ten years ago this November by the Nigerian government, along with eight other Ogoni activists, sentenced to death by hanging. Their crime was daring to insist that Nigeria was not poor at all but rich, and that it was political decisions made in the interests of Western multinational corporations that kept its people in desperate poverty. Saro-Wiwa gave his life to the idea that the vast oil wealth of the Niger Delta must leave behind more than polluted rivers, charred farmland, rancid air and crumbling schools. He asked not for charity, pity or ''relief'' but for justice...''''..The idea for which Saro-Wiwa died fighting--that the resources of the land should be used to benefit the people of that land--lies at the heart of every anticolonial struggle in history, from the Boston Tea Party to Iran's turfing of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company in Abadan. This idea has been declared dead by the European Union's Constitution, by the National Security Strategy of the United States of America (which describes ''free trade'' not only as an economic policy but a ''moral principle'') and by countless trade agreements. And yet it simply refuses to die. ''Read full article at this link: http://www.thenation.com/doc.mhtml?i=20050627&s=klein

Enquiring Minds: Working Sick
A new survey has found that six out of ten of us will go to work when we're sick, even if it hurts productivity.
A new survey has found that six out of ten of us will go to work when we're sick, even if it hurts productivity.
I've done a decent amount of travelling over the years. I haven't done too much recently, but I'm hoping to change that.
You have an out of town guest for 24 hours and you have the day off. They've never visited you before. Where do you take them? What do you do and what sights do you see?
This week is considered for a lot of us to be a return to "normal". It's back to school, back to work, back from vacation, everything. And for me, since the holidays were so crazy busy and full of people and food and stuff, I didn't get a chance to really sit back and think.
In today's survey we're looking back a little, and looking forward a little. Think back to the best thing that happened to you this past year... and think ahead to what you're looking forward to most!
Lake Superior State University in Sault Saint Marie, Michigan releases a list every year of words that need to be BANNED, based on thousands of nominations from people around the world.
Everybody has a word or two that really annoys them when they hear it. Whether it's hateful and harsh or just a silly slang word - sometimes they just get under your skin.
Every day I rack my brain to try to think of things for you and I to talk about. I see what I do on the air as a way of conversing with you - but most of the time it's just me talking. So with our surveys, I ask, and you answer.
As is the case every year, 2014 had its share of blockbusters, bombs, and surprises at the box office.
Looking back on the year, there were a lot of good movies. Enquiring Minds want to know what you liked best!

We are doomed, say climate change scientists associated with the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the United Nations body that is organizing most of the climate change research occurring in the world today. Carbon dioxide from man-made sources rises to the atmosphere and then stays there for 50, 100, or even 200 years. This unprecedented buildup of CO2 then traps heat that would otherwise escape our atmosphere, threatening us all.
"This is nonsense," says Tom V. Segalstad, head of the Geological Museum at the University of Oslo and formerly an expert reviewer with the same IPCC. He laments the paucity of geologic knowledge among IPCC scientists—a knowledge that is central to understanding climate change, in his view, since geologic processes ultimately determine the level of atmospheric CO2.
"The IPCC needs a lesson in geology to avoid making fundamental mistakes," he says. "Most leading geologists, throughout the world, know that the IPCC's view of Earth processes are implausible if not impossible."
Catastrophic theories of climate change depend on carbon dioxide staying in the atmosphere for long periods of time—otherwise, the CO2 enveloping the globe wouldn't be dense enough to keep the heat in. Until recently, the world of science was near-unanimous that CO2 couldn't stay in the atmosphere for more than about five to 10 years because of the oceans' near-limitless ability to absorb CO2.
Amazingly, the hypothetical results from climate models have trumped the real world measurements of carbon dioxide's longevity in the atmosphere. Those who claim that CO2 lasts decades or centuries have no such measurements or other physical evidence to support their claims. Neither can they demonstrate that the various forms of measurement are erroneous.
"They don't even try," says Prof. Segalstad. "They simply dismiss evidence that is, for all intents and purposes, irrefutable. Instead, they substitute their faith, constructing a kind of science fiction or fantasy world in the process."

I have somehow gotten on the email list for the National Wildlife Federation and just last week I received an email written by Amanda Staudt, Ph.D. She is apparently the climate scientist for that organization. She has great credentials; she directed the National Academies of Science Climate Research Committee and helped author more than a dozen reports on topics including the U.S. strategy for supporting climate change research, radiative forcing of climate, past records of surface temperature, and practices for effective global change assessments. She holds a Ph.D. in atmospheric sciences (2001) and an A.B. in environmental engineering and sciences (1996) from Harvard University.
So youd think shed know better than to make the following pronouncements: Hurricane Dean: A Sign of Storms To Come Global Warming is Putting Hurricanes on Steroids
I wonder if she has read any of the papers by Roger Pielke Sr., Roger Pielke Jr, Phil Klotzbach from Colorado State, Chris Landsea from the National Hurricane Center and others, or read about this workshop held by the World Meteorological Organization, who say the evidence does not support such a claimprobably not.
It is interesting to note that in 1955, Hurricane Janet, another category 5 storm, hit at approximately the same location as Dean in the Yucatan, near Chetumal, and claimed 600 lives. Dean didnt claim any in the Yucatan this year.

During a scientific workshop this week in Boulder, Colo., Watts presented his research on hundreds of weather stations used to help monitor the nation's climate. The preliminary results show Watts and his volunteers have surveyed about a quarter of the 1,221 stations making up the U.S. Historical Climatology Network. Of those, more than half appear to fall short of federal guidelines for optimum placement.
Some examples include weather stations placed near sewage treatment plants, parking lots, and near cars, buildings and air-conditioners all artificial heat sources which could affect temperature records.
Watts was surprised at how well his work was received after his 15-minute presentation.
"I was very, very worried that I would be seen as an outsider with a heretical idea," Watts said during a telephone interview Wednesday.
Watts said his findings show there are potential problems with the placement of many weather stations. Although it's not conclusive, temperature records from many stations, reposted on Watts' blog, showed notable increases after being moved closer to heat sources.
Watts and his volunteers are continuing to investigate the 1,221 USHCN observer stations. The stations are monitored by a branch of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration.
Jay Lawrimore, chief of NOAA's National Climatic Data Center, said he's aware of Watts' work. He said his center invites anyone with expertise to contribute to the scientific process. "I think any effort to better understand the observation system that's used to collect data and analyze it is helpful," he said.
For the USHCN stations being checked by Watts and others, Lawrimore said there are checks to ensure the data is accurate. Some stations are placed on less-than-ideal sites, but he said it's important to note the impact of those has been analyzed and accounted for. NOAA is working on a new network of weather stations called the Climate Reference Network. Lawrimore said the new system is being built with climate in mind and is geared to avoid artificial factors that affect readings. Read full story here.

In the past few years there has been increasing concern about global climate change on the part of the media, politicians, and the public. It has been stimulated by the idea that human activities may influence global climate adversely and that therefore corrective action is required on the part of governments. Recent evidence suggests that this concern is misplaced. Human activities are not influencing the global climate in a perceptible way. Climate will continue to change, as it always has in the past, warming and cooling on different time scales and for different reasons, regardless of human action. I would also argue thatshould it occura modest warming would be on the whole beneficial.
This is not to say that we dont face a serious problem. But the problem is political. Because of the mistaken idea that governments can and must do something about climate, pressures are building that have the potential of distorting energy policies in a way that will severely damage national economies, decrease standards of living, and increase poverty. This misdirection of resources will adversely affect human health and welfare in industrialized nations, and even more in developing nations. Thus it could well lead to increased social tensions within nations and conflict between them.
If not for this economic and political damage, one might consider the present concern about climate change nothing more than just another environmentalist fad, like the Alar apple scare or the global cooling fears of the 1970s. Given that so much is at stake, however, it is essential that people better understand the issue. For Dr. Singer's take on the issue, read full lecture here.
No matter whether it is record cold and snow as we saw this winter in the Southern Hemisphere in Africa, Australia and South America or heat waves as we saw this summer in the southeastern United States, or drought (as forecast by the UK Met Office for the UK this summer), or floods (as we actually saw in the UK and parts of the United States upper midwest this summer), the reason given is always global warming or man-made climate change. Now scientists can't agree on whether the North Atlantic is becoming more or less salty although they agree, in either case, global warming is surely to blame.
Since the late 1960s, much of the North Atlantic Ocean has become less salty, in part due to increases in fresh water runoff induced by global warming, scientists say. Michael Schirber, LiveScience, 29 June 2005 .
The surface waters of the North Atlantic are getting saltier, suggests a new study of records spanning over 50 years. They found that during this time, the layer of water that makes up the top 400 metres has gradually become saltier. The seawater is probably becoming saltier due to global warming, Boyer says. Catherine Brahic, New Scientist, 23 August 2007

Big things happen when youre discovered by the Drudge Report. Ask Anthony Watts. Hes the veteran meteorologist from Chico, Calif., who was featured in the June 17 edition of this column because of his project to quality-check the 1,221 official weather stations used to take the country's average surface temperature.
In the hours after DrudgeReport.com posted The Pittsburgh Tribunes "scoop" about Watts, his Web site Watts Up With That? was visited by 20,000 people. Normally it gets 3,000 hits a month, which is why he had to shut it down. Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity subsequently did pieces on Watts' project, which is not looked upon warmly by climate-change alarmists. Predictably, the liberal media ignored Watts.
Watts and his volunteers have now surveyed about 227 weather stations. A recent discovery: Many are sited at water sewage treatment plants, which Watts described as "giant heat bubbles."
A responsible scientist, Watts won't draw any conclusions from his research yet. But one top climate scientist—NASAs James Hansen, the patron saint of the apocalyptic global warming movement—apparently doesn't think Watts' dogged pursuit of scientific certainty matters much. Read more here.
By Stephen McIntyre, Climate Audit
James Hansen has published an online letter entitled A Light On Upstairs? The letter concludes by saying:
"My apologies if the quick response that I sent to Andy Revkin and several other journalists, including the suggestion that it was a tempest inside somebodys teapot dome, and that perhaps a light was not on upstairs, was immoderate. It was not ad hominem, though."
I havent seen the original letter and dont know who the comment was about. However, it certainly sounds like an ad hominem remark and one that is highly inappropriate for a federal civil servant. I have a number of comments about other aspects of the letter.
Icecap note: See how Stephen then goes on to show how GISS has bounced around three times in their analysis of US since 1999, first with the result of lowering the temperatures in the warm 1930s and 1940s and raising those in recent years thus exaggerating the warming signature in the recent data then reversing it again with the latest adjustment. Claims that anomalies the adjustments the United States only don't hold water. Steve shows how the arctic adjustments have been just as significant. These flips and flops has to raise questions about the integrity and reliability of the global data sets for climate change assessment.
As Steve in his blog puts it: "Whether these adjustments prove justified or not, modifications to the temperature record of this magnitude surely warrant the most careful scrutiny before turning the lights out upstairs. See the full blogs and the charts within here.

In case you hadn't noticed, the global warming debate has now escalated from a minor skirmish to an all-out war. Although we who are skeptical of the claim that global warming is mostly manmade have become accustomed to being the ones that take on casualties, last week was particularly brutal for those who say we have only 8 years and 5 months left to turn things around, greenhouse gas emissions-wise. I'm talking about the other side - the global warming alarmists.
First, NASA's James Hansen and his group had to fix a Y2K bug that a Canadian statistician found in their processing of the thermometer data. As a result, 1998 is no longer the warmest year on record in the United States - 1934 is. The temperature adjustment is admittedly small, yet there seemed to be no rush to retract the oft-repeated alarmist statements that have seared "1998!" into our brains as the rallying cry for the fight against global warming.
Then, the issue of spurious heat influences on the thermometers that NOAA uses to monitor global temperatures has reared its ugly head. Personally, I've been waiting for this one for a long time. Ordinary citizens are now traveling throughout their home states, taking pictures of the local conditions around these thermometer sites.
Next, my own unit and I published satellite measurements that clearly show a natural cooling mechanism in the tropics which all of the leading computerized climate models have been insisting is a warming mechanism (Spencer et al., August 9, 2007 Geophysical Research Letters).
Next, I'm happy to report that we skeptics have been getting a steady stream of new recruits. In the last year or so, more and more scientists have been coming out of the closet and admitting they've had some doubts about this whole global warming thing. In fact, chances are that your favorite TV weather person is a closet skeptic (unless it's Heidi Cullen). But please observe the "don't ask - don't tell" rule. Most broadcast meteorologists are not ready for the public embarrassment that would accompany their outing. Read more here.

text: Chelsea Schneider Research Question As I am very interested in the mental health of our society, I chose to look at mental health in terms of employment. I will be using Agnew's Strain Theory as a starting point in forming my hypothesis. My question asks: Are people who are unemployed more likely to experience problematic mental health? Going further, are these negative effects more likely to occur for males or females? I will define my variables as it is a necessary part of my research. By problematic mental health I mean has the person a person is who is not opposed to a person committing suicide if they feel they no longer want to live. By unemployment I mean if a person has been unemployed at some point during the past 5 years. Persons who are unemployed will have less interaction with others and be filled with more negative emotions. Unemployment will be my independent variable. Occurrence of a problematic mental health issue will be dependent variable. Specifically, if the respondent favors suicide if the person no longer feels they want to live. I focus on gender as my interaction variable. I would like to see if unemployment affects the mental health of males more than females or vice versa. Perhaps the effect will vary because one group may be more social than the other which would certainly have an effect on mental health. A person who has more interaction with society will have greater positive emotions, which should lessen the likelihood of a nervous breakdown. My control variable is region. It is very important to control where person lives because region could affect both unemployment and mental health. Perhaps in some areas weather and poor infrastructure may increase unemployment and increase problems with mental health. A person who lives in a place that is generally warm and sunny, and rich in resources, may experience better mental health simply because of where they live. Statement of Purpose: I think that the association between unemployment and mental health is very important for several reasons. Knowledge of the effect of unemployment on a person's mental health could help greatly in treatment efforts for the person. If a doctor is able to somewhat pinpoint the cause of the problem, it can be more easily fixed. If I find that mental health problems are directly affected by a person's employment status, then we can assume that some part of mental health problem is environmental. Persons who are unemployed are more likely to feel negative emotions because they are not able to meet their needs or the needs of their families. If they are not able to bring money into the household, they are certainly experiencing more strain than an employed person. Thus, the strain they are feeling may impact their feelings toward suicide, which is the factor I am using to determine mental health. Relevant Sociological Theory: This question is guided by Agnew's General Strain Theory. One of his greatest contributions to the field of sociology was the formulation of this theory. He found that strain had a great impact on criminal activity. I will be using this theory, sort of out of the box, as I will be using it to explain negative mental health instead of crime. In his theory, his main assumption is that strain is a social psychological process that leads to negative emotions. This strain can be caused by several reasons; most important to my research is the lack of positive stimuli given by interaction with others. Interaction with others creates, like in the workforce, positive emotions that keep strain at bay. By becoming unemployed or temporarily unemployed, the positive stimuli is removed. By removing the positive stimuli, the positive emotions that come along with it are also removed. This creates negative emotions that increase the strain any given person experiences. From this strain, I have hypothesized, a person is more likely to have negative mental health. One of the key aspects of this theory are the few things that he claims cause strain; the removal of stimuli, the introduction of negative stimuli and the inability to achieve positive personal goals. I will be using the third cause, the inability to achieve personal goals, as the cause of negative emotions. Society values the ability to keep a job and to provide for your family. Society especially values the role of males as the breadwinner of the family, making his unemployment especially distressing. By being unemployed, a person is currently unable to complete this goal which can be very distressing. I will further this claim by exhibiting the importance of work in our society. Work is the basis of our lives. We spend more of our time working and the income we make from this work is that keeps our lives and our families thriving. When a person is unable to take part in such a fundamental part of our expected lives, it can cause a great amount of strain for such a person. With my research question, I would like to know if the strain from the lack of unemployment is a trigger for problematic mental health. A central proposition of Agnew's theory is that negative emotions will lead to strain. This strain will then cause problems for such a person, especially participation in crime. Given this proposition and my research question, null hypothesis one is: unemployment will not negatively affect a person's mental health. Alternate hypothesis one is: unemployment will affect negatively a person's mental health. If Agnew's theory can be applied to my research question, then I will be able to reject my null hypothesis one. The interaction hypothesis involves the conditioning effects of gender. Considering societal views of gender and work, the predicted effect should be stronger for males than females because men are expected to work more than women are. Therefore, null hypothesis two is: strain will not negatively affect the mental health of men more than women. Alternate hypothesis two is: strain will negatively affect the mental health of men more than women. In the following section, I will describe a research design that will allow me to test my research questions: First, will unemployment negatively affect a person's mental health? Second, will unemployment negatively affect a man's mental health more than a woman's mental health? More specifically, I will address the operationalization of key concepts, the sampling strategy to be used and my technique of data collection. In addition, I will describe my design of proof and more any limitations of the research design. Operationalization The key concepts of my research question are unemployment, mental health and gender. Unemployment refers to a person who has been unemployed sometime within the last 5 years. This classification will be scored 1 while all other classification will be scored 0. Problematic mental health refers to a person who has favorable ideas toward suicide. I will use personal data from the GSS, specifically persons who have felt they have had problems with mental health. Persons who answered "yes" to being in favor of suicide will be scored 1 and those who have not will be scored 0. To measure gender, I will include the variable sex, which is scored 1 for males and 2 for females. Measures from these operationalization strategies have high validity. In other words, they subjectively measure the concepts of interest. Sampling I will study the data collected within the GSS to make generalization about the past decade. Regarding the sampling of years, I will study the year 2003. Each survey from 1972 to 2004 was an independently drawn sample of English-speaking persons 18 years of age or over, living in non-institutional arrangements within the United States. Starting in 2006 Spanish-speakers were added to the target population. Block quota sampling was used in 1972, 1973, and 1974 surveys and for half of the 1975 and 1976 surveys. Full probability sampling was employed in half of the 1975 and 1976 surveys and the 1977, 1978, 1980, 1982-1991, 1993-1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006 surveys. Also, the 2004 and 2006 surveys had sub-sampled non-respondents. This is a convenience sampling strategy, as the number of persons who completed the survey will be greater than in previous times. More generally, the benefit of using convenience sampling is the ability to maintain low cost and little time consumed. Data Collection Technique I will be using Data collected by the General Social Surveys (GSS). This survey is distributed across the country and asks questions about many aspects of a respondent's life. Therefore, my data collection techniques involve the use of secondary data. Secondary data is simply data collected by another party. The benefit of using such data is the magnitude of responses and the validity of the material. Design of Proof My design of proof will rely on three separate multiple regression models. The first will have "Do you agree with suicide if a person no longer wants to live?" as the dependent variable and their employment status as the independent variable. Region will be the control variable. The last two regressions will have gender-specific mental health rates as the dependent variables and the independent and control variables will be the same. To test my first null hypothesis, I will simply examine the b coefficient for the effect of unemployment on mental health. If the relationship is negative and significant (p<.10) I will be able to reject my first null hypothesis. This result would suggest that unemployment does negatively affect a person's mental health. To test my second null hypothesis, I will simply compare the b coefficients of both the male and female respondents. From these coefficients I will compute a z test and resulting z value. Should this z value be larger than 1.645 in absolute value and if the b coefficient is more negative for males than for females, I will be able to reject my second null hypothesis. Here is the formula I plan to use to compute a z test: (B for unemp5r) + ((B for unemp5rsex)*(1*2)) Limitations By using the GSS data I will face certain problems or limitations within my research. Interpretation of such questions as " Do you agree with suicide if a person no longer wants to live?" is very easily misunderstood. Certain persons may feel very differently about how they would classify the mental health of a person who favors suicide. My findings may lack the possibility to generalize about the population over time as the unemployment rates fluctuate over time. Considering that the GSS asks many different questions to thousands of people, the data is not specific to my research question. If it were specific to my research question, I would be able to examine the variables more closely. The primary weakness of my proof of design is my inability to control for all factors that may be associated with mental illness. These could be genetics, familial problems, or even relationship status. Therefore; my results could be proven to be spurious if I was able to control for all factors. Results Table 1 shows the three multiple regression models that allow me to test my hypotheses. The first model predicts the mental health rate for males and females combined, while models two and three predict male and female mental health rates, respectively. All three models include my central independent variable, that being unemployment, which is scored 1 for being unemployed and 0 for being employed. The model also controls for the region of residence for the respondent, both male and female, for all three models.

This being said, I am able to reject my null hypothesis and allow my alternate hypothesis to stand. My alternative hypothesis is that unemployment is negatively related to mental health issues. My data proves that unemployed persons are more likely to favor suicide if the person feels they have nothing to live for. To test my second null hypothesis, I must compare the b coefficients of the effects of unemployment for both males and females. The effect does seem to be stronger for males than females but I must compute a z-value to know if the difference is significant. To do this I must perform the following: (-.193) +((-.020)*(1*2)=-.153 Because the z- value is smaller than 1.645, I cannot reject my second null hypothesis, so I will allow to stand. The null hypothesis states that the effects of unemployment on mental health will not be stronger for males than for females. Region does play a significant role in that southern persons have more mental health than northern persons. Conclusions: This paper used Agnew's Strain Theory to approach the study of poor mental health. Because unemployment is a great force within people's daily lives, the hypothesis that studied the unemployment rates of respondents was presented. As my study shows, results are consistent will the hypothesis. Using previously demonstrated samples, poor mental health is affected by the employment status of the respondents. This impact seems to be that same for both males and females. I also demonstrated that region was a factor on the mental health rate. Greater mental health problem rates are consistent with Agnew's strain theory on the effects of unemployment. A fundamental part of the strain theory is removal positive stimuli will lead to strain. This strain then creates negative emotions that lead to problems such as involvement in crime or poor mental health. Unemployment can be considered a reason for poor mental health because it removes a person from social settings that provide positive stimuli. A person who is taken away from a work place lacks the positive stimuli they were provided with when having a job and socializing with others in the workplace. My results do have policy implications. Counseling centers should be made available to those persons who have become unemployed, perhaps free of charge. This data shows that a person who is unemployed has mental issues more frequently than person who are employed. Perhaps when a person leaves their job, along with unemployment benefits, like severance pay, they should also be provided with free counseling that they may participate in. Considering that the data presented in this paper do support my first alternate hypothesis, as well as Agnew's Strain Theory, several weaknesses should be noted. The first weakness is simply that the data was not collected with my specific research question in mind. It was difficult to find secondary data that pertained to both the theory and my hypothesis. A person who favors suicide in such circumstances may argue that they have no mental health issues and vice versa. Another weakness in my research is that I controlled for only one factor, that being region. There are numerous other factors that could have made a difference in my research. There also could have been a factor that made the relationship between my dependent and independent variables spurious. Should another factor affect both variables, the relationship I found in my data may in fact be spurious. In conclusion, the data found in my research, when applied to mental health, does support Agnew's General Strain Theory. Although this theory focuses on crime, this data shows that it can also be applied to other circumstances like mental health. Unemployment does decrease a person's positive stimuli, leading to negative emotions within a person. The effect on males and females were not found to be significant, meaning that both men and women are affected equally by unemployment. I did find it interesting that person's in the south have more mental health issues, considering their perceived lax feelings toward employment.

You pester my mind
more and more
old doom-sayer,
you in the hood.
What right do you have
to come in here
night after night,
giving me the old hurry-up?
'Do it now!' you say.
'Get on with it!
Time waits for no man —
nor woman either.'
That may be so, but I
would like to smell
the roses, take a breath.
'Breath runs out,' you warn.
And it might be
my breath you mean,
but I think of his
and all the things undone
which he'd like to finish
before he goes, and I
could help complete
except that all my time
is spent on helping him
stay alive. How sweet
if both of us could live
till the end. We survive.
Day 19 - Someone that pesters your mind — good or bad

Incarceron is a prison unlike any other: Its inmates live not only in cells, but also in metal forests, dilapidated cities, and unbounded wilderness. The prison has been sealed for centuries, and only one man, legend says, has ever escaped.
Finn, a seventeen-year-old prisoner, can't remember his childhood and believes he came from Outside Incarceron. He's going to escape, even though most inmates don't believe that Outside even exists. And then Finn finds a crystal key and through it, a girl named Claudia.
Claudia claims to live Outside—her father is the Warden of Incarceron and she's doomed to an arranged marriage. If she helps Finn escape, she will need his help in return. But they don't realize that there is more to Incarceron than meets the eye. Escape will take their greatest courage and cost far more than they know.
Because Incarceron is alive.
Catherine Fisher is an acclaimed novelist and poet, and has written many fantasy books, including The Oracle Prophecy series.

Reuters said the source of this information is a person familiar with the matter. Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's office is seeking information on special relationships between exchanges and so-called dark pools, platforms where large trades take place out of sight of the rest of the market, the report said. The office had sent out subpoenas to firms including Tower Research Capital LLC, Chopper Trading LLC and Jump Trading LLC, the source told Reuters Wednesday. The firms apparently could not immediately be reached for comment and, and a spokesman for the Principal Traders Group, an industry association, declined to comment.
