SB may determine Miami stadium deal
Even if voters approve using tax money to help upgrade the Miami Dolphins' stadium, a deal might be contingent on the NFL awarding the 2016 Super Bowl to the city.
NEED SOME? GET SOMEFeed your NFL addiction! Come feast on all the news in our updating blog.
The Dolphins confirmed Monday they've reversed their position and agreed to a referendum. A no vote would scuttle the plan.
Should the measure pass, Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez said, county commissioners still ought to have final approval - and insist on assurances from the NFL that the city will host the 50th Super Bowl in 2016.
''I don't want to be eligible for things,'' Gimenez said. ''I want to actually land something.''
The Dolphins hope the referendum can be held before May 22, when league owners are expected to choose the host for the milestone Super Bowl. Miami and San Francisco are the finalists.
''This is about Super Bowl 50,'' Dolphins chief executive officer Mike Dee said, ''the biggest event, frankly, in NFL history.''
The Dolphins' plan also requires approval by the Florida Legislature. Public money would come from a $3 million-per-year state subsidy and an increase in Miami-Dade County's tax on hotels.
Upgrades to the stadium are expected to cost about $400 million. Team owner Stephen Ross has agreed to pay at least 51 percent but might be forced to go higher.
''He started at 51. That's great,'' Gimenez said. ''I don't believe we're going to end up at 51 percent.''
A referendum is risky for the Dolphins because many South Floridians remain upset about the public financing of the Miami Marlins' ballpark, which opened a year ago.
''The Dolphins have shown to be a lot different than the previous organization we dealt with,'' said Gimenez, who opposed the Marlins project. ''The Marlins - that's the 800-pound gorilla in the room. Let's say what it is. That was a bad deal, and a lot of things were kept in the dark. I don't deal that way. I'm sure the Dolphins don't deal that way.''
Gimenez said negotiations between the county and Dolphins haven't begun, and a deal will be necessary before a referendum is scheduled. Yet to be determined is who would pay for the special election, which could cost $4 million.
The Dolphins had previously resisted a referendum, saying there wasn't time to hold a vote before the site for Super Bowl 50 was decided. But local legislators have shown only tepid support, and the Dolphins now believe referendum approval would help their chances in Tallahassee.
''Our harshest critics have said the voters need to weigh in,'' Dee said. ''We support that.''
Miami has hosted the Super Bowl 10 times, most recently in 2010. The Dolphins and the NFL say stadium upgrades are needed to keep the city competitive in bidding for future Super Bowl.

Blueberries with a Pear tree??
I am converting an older perennial bed to some edible landscaping. I'm wondering if blueberries will go well with a pear tree. I know both grow well in this area but wondering if they will be good 'companions' in same bed.
The long narrow bed is about 5' deep and 25' long and currently has perennials in it. It faces south but does get later afternoon shade due to my neighbor's Douglas Fir trees on the west. I'd say after 4 pm it is open shade.
I plan to tear out the older Cistus purpea (on their last legs) and also tear out a Buddlia which I'm told is now on the noxious weed list for our area.
I purchased a semi-dwarf Barlett pear which I would like to espalier on a trellis and then use the blueberries ("Chippewa" and "Toro" varieties) as a low hedge in front of the espaliered pear.
Any design ideas to share?
A few thoughts: Once established pears do not need regular water, but can get by on deep watering. The blueberries will need regular water especially during fruit set. This may be a minor point. Apart from that they seem as though they would be good companions. The hedge would need to be small enough that you can reach across to harvest the pears. I like your design concept.
Here is a link that might be useful: HarvestToTable.com
Thanks. Good reminder on the watering needs.
I will use the pear tree as a speciman, espaliered on a trellis. Not sure whether to put it in front of or behind the blueberry hedge which won't be more than 4' high. There will a space to stand in between hedge and pear tree should I choose to place tree behind the hedge but the more I think about it it would make sense to place tree and trellis in front of hedge.
I will use a soaker hose for the blueberries when they need more water.
Here is what the Arbor Day Foundation website states:
"The Bartlett pear grows best in slightly acidic, deep, heavy, moist, but well drained soil. Other soil types are tolerated, but may produce a lighter crop. Pear trees are especially sensitive to salt."

Staff Reporter
NEW DELHI: Delhi University Teachers' Association members on Saturday held a protest at the venue of the 70 {+t} {+h} session of the Indian History Congress on the University campus against Thursday's proceedings of the Academic Council in which Vice-Chancellor Deepak Pental had reportedly passed the semester-based courses of the Science Faculty.
The teachers, who had been agitating on the issue for three days, said the concerns and questions about procedural and academic aspects that Deans and heads of departments raised were not even considered.
The Deans of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Faculty of Education and heads of departments of Germanic and Romance Studies, Geography, English and Economics have issued a joint statement to "express their deep concern and dismay at the manner in which the Academic Council was closed.'' They said "according to us no courses were passed at the meeting…which was abruptly closed at 12.10 a.m."
A note of dissent was also submitted by the elected members of the AC to the V-C. Its member Dr. Abha Dev Habib said: "Parents ought to be worried about their children studying courses which have not come in through the proper channel."
Prof. Pental, who was supposed to be present at the proceedings of the Indian History Congress, did not turn up. "The Osmania University was supposed to hold the session. But that had to be cancelled and DU offered a venue for the event," he said, adding that it was not binding on him to attend the session.
In the context of protests by the teachers, he said: "These are just coercive techniques being used during the past two or three months to scuttle the semester system. There are hundreds who are willing to participate in the process of change. There are just some who want to dictate the course that the university will take."
Regarding allegations that people were unhappy with the way the AC meeting was conducted, he added: "Those who have not done their work are unhappy and want to pull back those who have brought on the courses for the semester system."
The session of the Indian History Congress, a large body of professional historians, was inaugurated by Prof. Irfan Habib while the presidential address was delivered by Prof. R. Champalakshmi.

need to redesign backyard
Hi All,
We need to replace the cracked cement patio in our backyard in addition to building a fence. For economy, we are thinking about installing cement pavers and an aluminum fence. Primarily we want to fence in the patio along with a few small beds. We are not going to change the footprint of the deck but are not adverse to moving the steps or re cladding the area under the deck (the posts are in good shape, but the cladding is rotten in places). We are flummoxed as to how this should all be laid out. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Jen
Here's some photos of how it currently looks:
Here is a link that might be useful: Pics of backyard
Sorry,your other's pics can't share.your patio is some small,maybe add a area under the stair to plant shadow shrub----azalea...
Here is a link that might be useful: if need other pic's designing
Hey thanks for your feedback!
Lehual3--Yes we are looking at picket fences. We are thinking about getting a "puppy" fence like this because we have small dogs. (see link at the bottom of the post)
The water drains away from the house (we live on the side of a steep hillside). Our contractor talked about burying the downspout. I'm not sure as to why this needs to be done though. Our property line is just beyond the pathway. Our backyard actually goes pretty far back but it is steep and heavily wooded.
IdeasShare--Cool pic! Actually one of the contractors we talked to suggested replacing the cement under the stairs with a pathway. We were thinking it would be cool to have the pathway lead to a gate. The stairs are quite wide and long. It has also been suggested to us that we move them but we are not sure where we'd like them.

... it. What a pain in the butt... There were no anchors or boulders to attached to and the trees were strategically place in stupid spots... It took us maybe 20 mins to set it up in a way that would work.
Finally we got to climb! It felt so great to touch real rock again... Since I moved to Flatt butt SC I haven't gotten much climbing in. The gym where I live isn't exactly ideal either. So this was a super happy moment for me :) Everyone else hopped on the route too ...

A group seeking access to climate scientist Michael Mann's emails through Virginia's Freedom of Information Act (VFOIA) has a surprising new group of news media allies.
From wire agencies to liberal Atlantic Media, Inc., 17 news groups have supported the release of documents, according to Columbia Journalism Review.
A group seeking access to climate scientist Michael Mann's emails through Virginia's Freedom of Information Act (VFOIA) has a surprising new group of news media allies.
At President Barack Obama's press conference in The Hague, Netherlands today, as part of a much longer question, ABC's Jonathan Karl asked Obama whether "Mitt Romney had a point when he said that Russia is America's biggest geopolitical foe? If not Russia, who?"
It's important to note that Obama's response to that portion of Karl's question pertained to and was directed at Romney. A video containing Karl's question and Obama's answer ("With respect to Mr. Romney's assertion that Russia's our number- one geopolitical foe, the truth of the matter is that, you know, America's got a whole lot of challenges. Russia is a regional power that is threatening some of its immediate neighbors -- not out of strength, but out of weakness") shows that the President's tone at that point was generally calm with a bit of a defiant edge which seemed directed at Romney and Karl (perhaps not in that order). That didn't stop the establishment press from claiming that Obama's statement was really an insult directed at Russia (it wasn't) and that the President supposedly directed his "derisive" statement towards Russian President Vladimir Putin (he didn't).
In another development most of the establishment press, with the usual exception of Fox News and the unusual exception of Reuters, has thus far predictably ignored, Santa Barbara County District Attorney Joyce Dudley announced on Friday the indictment of University of California-Santa Barbara Associate Professor Mireille Miller-Young on charges of "theft from a person, battery, and vandalism." The case's first hearing is scheduled for April 4.
To bring those who didn't see your truly's Monday post up to speed: "As seen in a video at the YouTube site of the Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust (warning: profanity), a UCSB assistant professor (MIller-Young) took a sign away from a participant in a campus pro-life outreach effort. Flanked by two students, she took the sign back to her office and destroyed it." Excerpts from the Reuters report by Laila Kearney follow the jump (bolds and numbered tags are mine):
On Friday, the government's Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the economy created 175,000 seasonally adjusted jobs in February, with 162,000 of the additions occurring in the private sector.
That result exceeded expectations of roughly 150,000, and caused the business press to sing odes of high praise to an economy that was amazingly overcoming this year's difficult winter weather. Unfortunately, as readers will see after the jump, February's raw results demonstrate that it was all an illusion.
The Associated Press and The Hill both reported on Noah Kai Newkirk shouting down the Supreme Court justices in their chamber, but ignored his far-left political affiliation. On Thursday, the wire service merely identified Newkirk's organization as "protest group 99Rise." Mario Trujilo of The Hill gave some a bit more information on Friday, but failed to disclose that 99Rise was founded by "a group of Los Angeles organizers active in Occupy" Wall Street.
By contrast, Lawrence Hurley and Joan Biskupic of Reuters explicitly mentioned the protester's ideology and his organization's background in a Thursday report:
In a complete non-surprise given their officials' reactions last week, the United Auto Workers union has filed an appeal with the National Labor Relations Board of the election they lost at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, Tennessee plant.
As would be expected for an organization whose journalists are members of the News Media Guild, a Friday evening report by Associated Press reporters Tom Raum and Erik Schelzig emphasized the "outside intervention" of First Amendment-protected statements made by Volunteer State politicians, including Senator Bob Corker, in the runup to the balloting, while ignoring and minimizing thuggish behavior and statements by UAW supporters and sympathizers. They also saved assessments that the effort is a long-shot at best, at least on the merits, for much later paragraphs — but with President Barack Obama's NLRB, you never know. Excerpts follow the jump (bolds are mine throughout this post):
We're not always the biggest fans of CNN, but when they've provoked the ire of a leftist dictator, we have to give props.
Reuters is reporting that Venezuelan despot Nicolas Maduro is threatening to expel CNN reporters from his country for daring to, well, do their jobs and report the news (h/t TV Newser; emphasis mine):
According to a USA Today item carried at ABC News, "Sixty percent of adults can't drink milk." In July 2012, the New York Times ran an item entitled, "Got Milk? You Don't Need It." But the last time I checked, everyone uses electricity to some extent.
I'm bringing up these points because, as a friend showed me earlier today, the establishment press has run stories galore in the past several weeks about increases in the price of milk, but, as I noted a couple of days ago, has paid virtually no attention to coming increases in wholesale electricity costs of up to 80% which are due solely to Environmental Protection Agency regulations requiring the use of unproven and not commercially available "carbon capture" technology.
The three Associated Press reports I've seen on the UAW's failure to win the right to represent hourly workers at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee — the first two were covered in NewsBusters posts here and here; the wire service's 3:52 p.m. report is here — all mention in one way or another what UAW President Bob King is now calling "unprecedented outside interference" in the runup to the election. (VW, which can only run the factory with the kind of "workers councils" it has at its other worldwide plants in the U.S. if its workers are represented by an outside union, supported the UAW's efforts.)
But AP reporters Tom Krisher and Erik Schelzig, as well as panelists discussing the aftermath on Melissa Harris-Perry's MSNBC program this morning, "somehow" ignored the "outside interference" of the person who holds the most powerful political office on earth. That's right. President Obama, whose National Labor Relations Board conducted the election, weighed in on Friday morning with statements at a "closed door" meeting which were clearly designed to be leaked. Here is what Richard Cowan and Bernie Woodall at Reuters reported on Friday morning (HT Gateway Pundit):
Following revisions to initial stories at the Associated Press, aka the Adminstration's Press, can be a revealing if sometimes tedious exercise.
A case in point is how reporters Tom Krisher and Erik Schelzig, who are both more than likely represented by the News Media Guild in their jobs at the wire service, changed the tone of their second report following the rejection by employees at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, Tennessee plant of representation by the United Auto Workers union. And speaking of changed tones, UAW President Bob King suddenly moved from conciliatory to confrontational in the 3-1/2 hours between the first and second AP reports.
Late news out of Chattanooga, Tennessee Friday night was that workers at that area's Volkswagen plant rejected representation by the United Auto Workers union.
The opening paragraph at the 11:17 p.m. story filed by Tom Krisher and Erik Schelzig at the Associated Press, both of whom are more than likely members of the News Media Guild, calls the result "devastating." Later paragraphs imply political tampering, and indicate that the union is considering doing what leftist losers routinely do — try to get the result overturned with government help. Excerpts follow the jump (bolds are mine throughout this post):
One of the more annoying aspects of business press reporting is its participants' singular focus on seasonally adjusted data to the exclusion of the underlying figures.
Many reports on the economy at least tag the figures reported as seasonally adjusted; but there seems to be a trend away from doing even that. For example, the Associated Press has routinely labeled weekly initial jobless claims as seasonally adjusted (examples from about a year ago are here, here, and here), but Thursday's adjusted claims figure of 331,000 and the 348,000 from a week earlier went unlabeled (as seen here and here, respectively). Additionally, none of the three main wire services (AP, Bloomberg, Reuters) described yesterday's reported increase in employment as "seasonally adjusted" (though the AP's Christopher Rugaber did report that the unemployment rate of 6.6 percent was seasonally adjusted). In failing to do so, they all were in essence telling readers that the economy really added 113,000 jobs in January. The truth is that it lost over 2.8 million of them:

Protesters Sue Utility After TVA Bans Costumes
By editor
Last July, people protested the Tennessee Valley Authority's plan to finish a nuclear plant. They came to a board meeting dressed as zombies. The TVA then banned costumes. The Knoxville News Sentinel says this explains how the TVA is now being sued by Santa Claus and a pirate.

I expect to get the dashboard task with a sample summary running in the next few days. The only bad thing is there are still parts that are completely manual. But, its better than running blind feedback wise while coding.

Review | Dates to Watch For | Follow-Up | U.S. Economic Calendar | Consensus Estimates | Coming Earnings | Coming U.S. Auctions
Investors should take a good hard look at the business cycle. What it is indicating now is that stocks are in for a rough ride.
According to a forecasting model developed by Michael Belkin, whose Belkin Report is read by institutional players and hedge funds, the U.S. economy will soon tip into recession. That has been a surefire indicator for stock pullbacks for more than 100 years.
"This is the oldest story in the investor textbook; stocks go down in a recession," says Belkin, who had just made his case at Barry Ritholtz's Big Picture confab in New York. Belkin said he was "planting a flag that we are starting a recession," and called Sept. 14, the day after QE3 was announced, the tentative peak.
Stocks have since fallen some 2.5%, with the Standard & Poor's 500 index trading at 1428.59 points. Belkin's model uses data from the Dow Jones Industrial Average because it dates to the October 1902 recession. Since then, the average decline for stocks during a contraction has been 30.6%, in an average period of 14 months. That would put the S&P 500 under 1000. Belkin, who called inflection points in November 2002, November 2007, and April 2009, suggests a defensive, if not short, equity position, with technology names especially at risk. Or go completely to cash.

German Exile Cinema, 1933-1951
Hundreds of German-speaking film professionals took refuge in Hollywood during the 1930s and 1940s, making a lasting contribution to American cinema. Hailing from Austria, Hungary, Poland, Russia, and the Ukraine, as well as Germany, and including Ernst Lubitsch, Fred Zinnemann, Billy Wilder, and Fritz Lang, these multicultural, multilingual writers and directors betrayed distinct cultural sensibilities in their art. Gerd Gemünden focuses on Edgar G. Ulmer's The Black Cat (1934), William Dieterle's The Life of Emile Zola (1937), Ernst Lubitsch's To Be or Not to Be (1942), Bertolt Brecht and Fritz Lang's Hangmen Also Die (1943), Fred Zinnemann's Act of Violence (1948), and Peter Lorre's Der Verlorene (1951), engaging with issues of realism, auteurism, and genre while tracing the relationship between film and history, Hollywood politics and censorship, and exile and (re)migration.
Deftly, Gerd Gemünden combines perceptive close readings of select films with sharp archival investigation to show how some key movies of classical Hollywood came-in often fraught manner-to engage with the evils of fascism. By understanding cinema as a complex negotiation over political meanings, from production to final results onscreen, this volume represents a major contribution to the literature on the Hollywood emigrés and their cultural work.
Dana Polan, New York University
Continental Strangers is a necessary and most compelling pendant to Thomas Doherty's Hollywood and Hitler, 1933-1939. Indeed, these two recent releases provide an impressive ensemble. Doherty depicts how American film studios reacted to Nazi terror in both direct and less overt ways. Gemünden fills out the picture in a series of intriguing case studies devoted to filmmakers who fled Hitler and settled in Southern California. Sensitive to the variety of ways in which German film artists experienced emigration and exile, Gemünden's book remains admirably attentive to the historical determinations and textual shapes of Hollywood's anti-Nazi features.

A lucid and comprehensive account of German filmmakers in American exile, this book also offers a poetics of displacement and alienation. It adds another chapter to the story about Hitler and Hollywood and contributes to a deeper historical understanding of political cinema at a moment of crisis.
Anton Kaes, University of California, Berkeley
A welcome and well-researched survey.

LIttle piles of dirt on the lawn.
I've got little clumps(maybe teaspoon-sized) of dirt all over the lawn. They don't look like they've been torn up from above, rather they look like something's been burrowing up from beneath. Could this be a sign of winter moths leaving the soil and heading up into the trees? If so, what can I do about them?
To the best of my knowledge winter moths would be emerging under leaf piles at the base of trees. You would also see them flying and hanging off of the sides of house and trees with the warm spell we have had here in Massachusetts. As for the piles of dirt. Hmmmm. Nightcrawlers? This is from this forum in 2007. Maybe you can get some info from it. Good Luck.
I don't think nightcrawlers come out in late November, do they? It's very strange. There's no tearing of the grass, which would be present if a skunk or squirrel were digging for grubs. It looks like someone beneath the ground has drilled upwards through the soil with a 1/2" bit.
I think so. We haven't had a hard frost yet.
But wouldn't I see more worms during the summer months when the soil is much warmer? Maybe I should go out there at night with a flashlight and check.
Worms in the lawn is supposed to be a healthy sign.

Mam. question.
hablu(z8 Netherlands)November 14, 2005
Hello all,
Bringing all my cacti inside this weekend (and broke my back)a came upon a half-forgotten Mam. with very green buds. So green that I think the flower will be greenish too. Up till now I never saw or knew of a Mamm. that has green flowers. Any suggestions??? Will place a pic later this week (to busy at work) greetz Hablu
Mammillaria heidiae has yellow-green flowers.
Also, parodia haselbergii ssp. graessneri has green flowers and could be mistaken for mammillaria.
Here is a link that might be useful: Mammillaria heidiae

Web Letter
A week or so ago, I watched a documentary based on the book The Take, which led me to this article. Actually, I was searching for more information regarding this subject and to see if there was possibly any like movements afoot in the US. Which seems like a great idea, but unfortunately, after doing some Internet research, I don't think it has caught on in this country. Personally, I think it might be just the thing to put jobs back into the hands of the people, where they belong.
With over a 20 percent unemployment rate and closed factories, Detroit seems like a great place for a grassroots movement of this kind.
I don't know what it will take to wake us up, but something needs to, before we are left standing in the rubble of what is left of our great country when we finally implode and the smoke has cleared.

I am boring. Sorry if that offends.
Don't mow your Grass for a couple of years, and you'll be surprised how many trees you have, all for FREE !
( Oh, That's right, if you don't mow your grass, the City will mow your Grass and trees down for you, and bill you. This is about Paying to plant trees. )
Reading all this, I just had this thought.
Most everyone agrees that Sea Level has been rising very very slowly since the last Ice Age (glaciation) , and even NOAA and Sea Grant acknowledge that there has been " no signal" of acceleration for the NC coast. So why have we had an acceleration of Accretion by 11% and a 13% decline of erosion of NC Sea shore since 1980? Irrespective of acceleration, why do we have more Accretion and less Erosion if Sea Level is rising? Or is all this just mumbo - jumbo Political FoSi?
Bill Price USLandAlliance.US
We need to know what is causing beach erosion, where and why. The CRC Science Panel ( CRC SP) and the Coastal Federation (CF) assert that the Sea Level has been, and will force erosion of the Coast and inundation of the tidelands; however, actual data from the NC Division of Coastal Management (DCM) shows Accretion increasing by 11% and Erosion decreasing by 13% since 1980, with most of the Accretion having taken place prior to most of the re-nourishment projects. This differs completely with the Scare Science of the CRC SP and the CF. Interestingly, the CRC SP has declined to answer questions regarding their science, have declined to do a comparative historical survey of NC Tidelands, and a comprehensive " in-the -Water" study of what is causing erosion has been blocked since the late '90's. Fortunately the General Assembly determined it would be better to have some real science, not TV science, before implementing planning policy that would take people's homes. USLandAlliance.US Bill Price PKS, NC
After decades of Liberal Education policies, many Schools in NC have a 50% dropout rate, and it is estimated that 20% of the population is functionally illiterate ( i.e. can't fill out an employment application). The situation is getting worse to the point that America ( and NC ) is losing our competitive position, but, for the Professional Educators, it's all about getting more, and more, and more money.
Just how bad does it have to get before we do something ?
Medium wage America has 14% manufacturing employment and falling .. High wage Germany has 34% manufacturing employment and rising.. What's going on? Well , Germany has 2/3 education in trades, while in America, every student is supposed to go to college.
Not working out very well, is it?
Bill Price PKS- NC
How come it's greed for a person to want to keep the money they made,
but it's not greed to want to take money for yourself from those that earned it?
May I note that scholasticism of the middle ages demanded by the social, political, and religious intelligencia, required adherence to " Flat Earth" consensus science.
Today, the Green religion demands adherence to AGW/ SLR consensus science.
Fortunately, today, the government doesn't use inquisitions to enforce the "Green Faith.". ... yet.
In any event, not being a scientist or a PhD, I have several questions about AGW / SLR, based on real world observations. The SP scientists have ignored the questions since Feb 2011. One area of question:
I wonder if you have compared 1850's US Gov. Coast Surveys with current maps to get an idea of how much inundation on NC tidelands has occurred over 160 years?
The NC CRC Science Panel said SLR has been 18" / 100 y. and scientists said 1 foot SLR causes up to 2 Miles inundation of tidelands. That would equal 4 miles of inundation.
I have looked and I can't see it.., Can you? Have you seen a comparative survey? I wonder why?
We have been asking the Science Panel , and an Educational Institution to study this and other questions .. They have declined. ( Not looking for 500 non-relevant reports,,, Only a single survey. ( Of course Erosion and Accretion due to winds, waves, dredging, and currents should be differentiated from Inundation. ) I wonder why they haven't done, and won't do the study, or even answer a question?
Video of the Science Panel meeting shows a member say, 'What's the big deal. Let's just wait 5 years and see what happens."
So, why is it so many folks don't want to hear both ( or any other) side of the issue, don't care about verifiable data,,,,,, and demand immediate implementation of 39" regs. ?
(Don't know about you, but I get suspicious when the scientific experts won't answer questions, and don't want to consider any facts,,, but their own .)
I also wonder if you know how much damage the SP's 39" SLR/ 2100 Rule will cause native taxpaying coastal property owners in loss of property rights, and cost local governments to replace schools, government buildings, infrastructure etc.? Have you seen any computation of this? Do you care?
Clearly, if Sea Level is or will rise rapidly, we need to know it and plan for it, but should important public decisions be based on verifiable data, or on Comedy Skit, Consensus, Theoretical , Computer Modeled Science ?
Maybe you think we should simply shut up and blindly accept whatever the SP says and do what they direct without question? Or, do American Citizens have a right to ask questions of the scientific experts? If so, should the experts answer the questions? If so , why won't they?
Bill Price Pine Knoll Shores
No one disputes that Sea Level has been rising since the last Ice Age - very slowly; and certainly, if Sea Level Rise (SLR) is accelerating rapidly, we need to know about it, and plan for it.
To do that, the North Carolina General Assembly has begun to consider a Draft Sea Level Rise Law that appears to be for "comprehensive verifiable science", and against "selective political science".
What's the problem ?
We know that the Coastal Resources Commission's Science Panel (SP) and scientists said, SL has been and is rising 18 inches / 100y , that 1 foot of SLR would inundate up to 2 miles of tidelands, and their literature showed natural and Government caused erosion ( while generally ignoring any accretion). From that, they jumped to proposing Planning Policy for 39" SLR by 2100.
However, there are Real world concerns with the Science Panel's science:
• A visual comparison of 1850's US Coast Survey surveys of NC tidelands, with recent surveys, don't seem to show 4 miles ( 150 y @ 18 inches / 100y ), or 2 miles ( 1 foot), or even 1 mile ( 6 inches SLR/ 100y) of inundation that, based on their science, would have occurred.
• They do not seem to differentiate between general erosion versus inundation caused by SLR.
• They have ignored US Coast Survey and US Fish Services tide gage data from the 1850's thru 1950.
When asked about this, the Scientists have refused to answer questions, have declined to do analysis of the surveys and historic tide gage data, and have refused to participate in an Open Public Forum. If they support their beliefs, shouldn't they be able to answer several simple questions? Instead they have tried to denigrate skeptics as being "willfully ignorant" developers against science, even though it's the Local Property Owners and Local Governments ( along the esturine tidelands ) that will be most hurt by the SLR rules, not the developers.
As an excuse for the lack of science, the Science Panel said, the CRC didn't ask them to do a rigorous Scientific Report. Regrettably, it appears that the Literature Search, upon which the Science Panel's recommendations are based, was a one sided selection of Pro AGW and Pro SLR reports. ( Although, considering that NOAA's "No Regrets" office in Charleston is paying scientists millions to prove SLR and AGW, it's not surprising that there's lots of Pro AGW and SLR literature.)
An anonymous critic, sent me a link to a Book by a scientist, essentially attributing most all Coastal Erosion to Sea Level Rise. asserting that it answered my questions and did in fact show inundation of tidelands.
See here >> http://core.ecu.edu/geology/riggs/DROWNING… / ( I had read it before)
The Book does show a lot of erosion, and shows pre 1850's survey maps and charts, but as far as I can find, it does not show comparison with post 1850's U.S. Government Coast Survey surveys,comparision with which, the scientists say should show 4 miles ( or at least 2 miles) of inundation. (Look it over yourself.) ( Differentiation of erosion/accretion by wind/ waves, dredging, or currents, versus inundation is asserted.)
Another anonymous critic said I should look at the CRC's ariel photography and surveys of NC Beachline. Having been on the original Carteret County Beach Preservation Task Force in the late '90's, I am quite familiar with said surveys, and the more recent surveys done by the Carteret County Beach Commission. The CCBC's " theory" is that Beach Erosion is due to removal of sand from the along-shore current due to off-shore disposal of dredge spoils. Absolutely, there are thousands of engineering reports and scientific studies of NC Beach Erosion, all based on ACOE computer modeled data or remote monitoring. In the ACOE 111 Study of Beaufort Inlet, the Corps said that it's Computer Model for planning showed net cross-inlet transport was from West to East, but surprisingly admitted that, direct observations showed net transport was from East to West. 180 dregrees directly backward. ( So much for the expert's Computer Models?) I have tried for over 12 years to get a comprehensive empirical in-the-water study of NC Beach erosion using ADCP's done. So far no Government Agency or Educational Institution will do the study.
Is it appropriate to impose Rules based on a one sided Literature Search while intentionally ignoring observable real world conditions ?
So, maybe the present rate of Sea Level Rise will Accelerate? Maybe not?
While no one is omniscient, nonetheless we recognize that, sometimes, decisions should be made based on the preponderance of the evidence, but it must be difficult to have confidence in evidence from scientists that won't provide comprehensive verifiable science based on documentation of past SL trends.
Being responsible to fairly protect the property rights of all the citizens of North Carolina, it looks like the General Assembly is just trying to get some comprehensive verifiable science, before making important public policy decisions.
Or, are we supposed to blindly accept what the scientists say, and do what they demand without question?
Bill Price Pine Knoll Shores
( Footnote: Science is important. We need to be able to trust Science. But unfortunately, when scientists won't do science, won't answer questions, and won't participate in an Open Public Forum, what's going on? )

Key word in bold. While engineers think of reasonable limits, the probability of an occurrance, lawyers don't. It only takes one instance to cast doubt.
Agreed! And if the laywers get invovled, that's good in this case! It will force the manufactures to do the analysis both to improve reliabilty AND to guard against lawsuits.

$10 Million Lawsuit Against Wikipedia Editors "Stragetically" Withdrawn 51
from the refiling-to-lose-harder dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
They should have filed a response. ANY response. That locks the case in and makes it impossible for the complainant to withdraw it without consent.
Then they could have filed the SLAPP response.
By delaying (likely to get way too many unnecessary ducks in a row, but that's how lawyers work) they now have lost that opportunity. The complaint will be filed again -- not necessarily in California -- and including elements that can't be dismissed by SLAPP elements.
What a shame.

I have been a member of Royal River Chorus since 1985 and enjoyed every minute of it. Over the years, I have had many jobs (teacher, speech therapist, software consultant, etc.). Currently I work as an eldercare provider.
Royal River Chorus has been my outlet for harmonizing and creativity, challenging myself to be the best I can be, developing leadership skills and computer skills, and most of all making friends. During my child-rearing years, Royal River gave me the "ME" time I needed, and I made friends with other mothers in the chorus. Our children have all grown up together. After 30 years in the group, I still feel the excitement when we "ring" chords and when we amaze an audience with our energetic and professional performances. People come and go over the years in the group, but ALL of them hold Royal River in their hearts and visit us often. Anyone who joins this group will wish they had found Royal River years ago.

Power rankings: Pac-12, WCC, MWC men's basketball, Version 3
Jason DeCrow, AP
Colorado is the big winner in Version 3 of the power rankings, moving from No. 8 to No. 3 with its win over then No. 6 Kansas (as predicted here last week). Every person who loves to play basketball should get the chance to feel what it must have felt like to be Askia Booker when he hit that 35-footer at the buzzer to beat the Jayhawks.
Incredible shot.
Others that impressed included Pacific of the West Coast Conference in beating Utah State comfortably in Logan, and UNLV of the Mountain West Conference. The Rebels nearly beat Arizona, the top-ranked team in the country, on the road.
Those that dropped in the rankings include BYU, UCLA, San Diego State, Utah State and Utah.

'These Days' - y.l.
I had a dream last night.
Remember that night me, you, and B spent at the beach in front of your house? That night, the moon shone so brightly that it made everything from the sand to our skin glow. In the parts of the world that refused to swallow the moonlight, the inky darkness was like liquid; I thought that if I dipped my toes in it, it would paint my skin black. And when the ocean waves crashed against our bare toes, do you remember how you hitched up your pants and walked out into the water, but I shook my head and refused to follow you in?
Last night, I dreamt that you and I took a rickety train to the end of the world where a whitewashed ocean met the heavens. Everything was too bright but I wasn't quite sure whether it was night or day. It could have been both; it could have been neither. The water was a giant, churning mirror and the sky was the same color you see when you stare into the sun for too long, the hue of stinging exaltation and stupid bravery. Everything in front of me was so viciously bright that my eyes burned, but it felt like that same inky darkness from that beach in front of your house had a grip on my windpipe. I struggled for breath; I didn't say a word. The air was so still and so charged. Everything smelled of ozone and sea salt.
It felt like at any moment, the sky above us would rip apart and we'd see oblivion. It felt like we were precariously perched on a razor thin tightrope, balanced between life and death, and I wasn't so sure which side was more dangerous. Your eyes were the only thing keeping me from tumbling off the edge. It felt like my chest was going to burst, and when you hitched up your pants and waded out into the white water and held your hand out towards me, I took it and followed you in.
-YWL, Aug 2012
I sat on my bed
writing out poems
when reality jarred my vision.
Without the haze of sunshine and the thick beads of perspiration threaded along the necks of dusty Coca-Cola bottles, will you love the words that bubble from the tip of my tongue just the same as when they used to be ashy and full of the grit that I frantically scrubbed away?
If they manage to crackle with the same ozone-scented promises that I made during simpler times, and if you are able to feel each rip in the atmosphere as the sun calmly bloodies the evening sky, then I want you to cradle each naked phrase between your palms, as carefully as you would a handful of ignited fireworks; gently, but boldly
without a trace
of doubt.
That time when we quietly lay skin to skin on your sofa, the afternoon sunlight spilling in through the cracks in the windows, when every one of your exhales chased each one of my inhales, when the heat from my skin reached out to tangle with yours, when your chest hitched and hiccuped because my eyelashes kept tickling that patch of skin just underneath your jaw; I want you to know that I hated it. I hated it because I knew that, later, when my mind would bring up this hazy scene, I would feel empty, hollow of your love.
I hated it, because even though I so busily pushed myself into not loving you, you still made me feel loved. I hated it, because even if I ever forgot this hazy scene, I knew the emptiness wouldn't fade.
-YWL, 2012, Summer
Warm metal and concrete,
Crushed grass,
Dandelion yellow,
The blue of the dawn sky on a summer's morning;
The 37.3 C rush of life beneath your skin.
I don't ever want to leave this moment.
It's all about choices, isn't it?
It's all about making decisions, right or wrong, safe or reckless, big or small; the stories worth telling come only from them. Pick a path, they tell us. Choose a thread of life, hold it between your forefingers and walk alongside it towards some distant destination on the horizon, too bright to see.
What they don't tell us is about that feeling you get when you decide to let go of a thread and grasp desperately at another one. Maybe this one will feel better between your fingers. Maybe it'll cut up your flesh.
It doesn't matter; it's your choice. Mark it, mark life with the splatters of your blood. Leave scars at the pads of your thumb, on the left ventricle of your heart, on fragile surface of your mind's eye.
How else will you know if you've tried anything at all?

Join us as we steal some of our 2014 Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the barrel and pour it for our friends. The winemaking team will talk about the vintage, and then we'll test our senses with stations designed to showcase the unique textures, aromas and flavors.
