The Kinston Free Press
LAGRANGE – East Duplin came back from half-time deficit Friday night to beat North Lenoir in a nonconference game.
After an early touchdown off an East Duplin fumble, the Hawks lost traction coming back from halftime. North Lenoir led 12-8 but couldn't find a way to stop the Panthers in the second half.
East Duplin forced the Hawks to punt with 9:17 in the third quarter and scored on its next two possessions.
A North Lenoir 38-yard punt in the third gave the Panthers the ball in Hawks territory, before ED scored on a 55-yard drive. East Duplin recovered the ball after sacking North Lenoir's Landon Baker on his own 11, but the Panthers used running back Dauveia Anderson five times to advance the ball to the eventual last touchdown.
"I thought we moved the ball all night," East Duplin coach Battle Holley said. "I thought we stopped ourselves when we got stopped, with turning the ball over."
The Panthers lost both their fumbles, while the Hawks fumbled once in their own end zone for an East Duplin safety in the second quarter.
The Panthers gained all of their 319 yards on the ground without much pressure from NL's defense. Panthers quarterback Jarvarious Scarborough didn't attempt any passes.
He handed off to a different running back on each of the Panthers TDs, who all rushed for no more than 4 yards on the scores. North Lenoir running back Donyae Hopkins had the longest touchdown with a 17-yard rush on the left side.
Holley said the Panthers had trouble stopping the speedy Hopkins early.
"They made adjustments," North Lenoir coach Calvin Sutton said. "We were just basically taking what they gave us. We've got to play better and finish our games."
The Panthers outrushed the Hawks 319-134, while Anderson led all rushers with 111 yards on 13 carries. Hopkins finished with 106 rushing yards.
"We knew coming in that North Lenoir had some athletes and some speed," Holley said. "We just have to build off (the win) and limit our mistakes. … They've got a good team, and we're just happy to come out with a win."
East Duplin (2-3) plays host to South Lenoir next week while North Lenoir (0-4) plays host to North Johnston.

Are You a Climate Skeptic?!
However, one colleague, a scientist working at the climate science-policy interface who I met for the first time this week, looked at me incredulously when I mentioned the 10-year period of no warming and asked, "What are you a climate skeptic?!"
I said, "No I'm not, I'm just citing a paper in BAMS I saw today."
He accused, "You said ten years; That is selective."
I replied, "Well, that is just what the paper says. I'm just explaining what it said."
He again accused, "No, you said 10 years!"
Um, OK.
When stating facts reported in peer reviewed journals that are in articles justifying continued concern about warming results in being called a "climate skeptic" by a colleague, then you know that the community has some deep issues.
35 comments:
A colleague of mine who works in renewable energy said that he used to be a climate skeptic, but had changed his mind because of the recent evidence that climate change was occurring far more rapidly than previously predicted.ReplyDelete
I asked whether he was thinking of global temperature (which was below long term trend) or arctic ice (which was recovering from the 2007 low) or sea level rise (which was following the long term trend or just possibly flattening off), as none of these major indicators seemed to show any signs of acceleration. He accused me of cherry picking recent years: the fact that he had picked these years as evidencing rapid change didn't seem to concern him.
It's a funny old world in climate science.
Yes. It seems perfectly valid to extrapolate from an unverifiable anecdotal account of something said by an un-named person to "the community". I can't see any problems with that at all.ReplyDelete
You are right to imply that it is not a statistically robust sample. However, this sort of thing occurs enough in my interactions in this community that I find to be troubling. Perhaps your experiences are different.
A number of scientists have said that there is a pervasive groupthink mentality in the scientific community on this issue. Some have even said that they were not able to speak freely until after they retired because so much research money is tied to global warming. In an atmosphere where expressing skepticism is career suicide, Roger's anecdote is pretty mild.
"What are you -- a climate skeptic?" is precisely the kind of ad hom comment that should raise eyebrows in an academic community.
Btw, since Roger was present as a witness (in fact, a participant), what do you mean by "unverifiable"? Are you questioning his veracity?ReplyDelete
"an unverifiable anecdotal account of something said by an un-named person"ReplyDelete
Nice way to call the man a liar. I can't see any problem with that at all.
It certainly fits the pattern of ad hominem-first attacks when any true-believer statements are questioned.
Do you think the pressure of the public/political spotlight is responsible for the 'issues' ? Did you perhaps feel that you were being suspected of being a 'traitor' ?
Do you mean Black et al? The paper linked seems to be Knight et al.ReplyDelete
I was charitably taking the view that RW was referring to my anecdote, not Roger's. As nobody knows who I am , it is indeed unverifiable.ReplyDelete
-8-Bishop HillReplyDelete
Thanks, fixed!
That's the scientific community's idea of an insult? That's like a Church-goer hearing you saying "I don't know if god exists" and responding "What are, an atheist?"ReplyDelete
As an agnostic, this has happened to me...
Although that would actually be a little insulting.
Hi Roger. I admire your honest approach to these matters. I'm not sure why you act as if you are allergic to the "skeptic" label. I don't see why anyone would regard it as a pejorative term in relation to most fields of science, and certainly not in a field experiencing as much flux as climate science.ReplyDelete
As I read your stuff you come across as what I would call a garden-variety skeptic; you are skeptical of what alarmists pitch, and also of what the so-called "deniers" pitch. I would say that positions you quite well, and you should wear the label quite proudly. It's one of the reasons I give your posts the time of day even though I'm not on board with some of your thoughts on policy and I fall in a different spot on the spectrum regarding what current science has to say about the effects of CO2.
If I'm misunderstanding you (again) feel free to correct me (again).
I'm concerned about your statement that this 10-year trend is not a "statistically robust sample". Not sure what you mean by that. A decade-long trend is not a "sample" of current trends. Surely "current" means no more than what is happening, trend-wise, in the most recent 10 years or so.
In statistics we distinguish between the notion of a "poll" and that of a "census". A poll samples a subset of a population and infers something about the population. A census, in contrast, collects numbers from the entire population and reports them. While a poll estimates population behavior, a census is the population behavior.
If it is an objective fact that the earth has cooled (by a particular measure) over the last decade, and if by "current" we mean a time-fram subsumed by this decade, then it is tautological that the earth is "currently cooling" (by this measure) -- this is census data, not poll data. There is no question of robustness -- a concept that only applies to inference from poll data.
Another meaning for "robustness" concerns the sensitivity of the data to the choice of initial and terminal points. You must know that when one reports a "trend" over a time period in this field it is not the slope of a secant line (which is highly sensitive to choice of initial and terminal points). It is generally a least-squares or similarly obtained regression line. Such regressions are about as robust as possible: change the initial/terminal points by a year or two, and the resulting slope will not change by very much, which is what I take you to mean by "robust". Make it 12 years or make it 8, or anything between, and the conclusion remains the same. That's robustness!
If you are referring to long-term trends, then of course a 10-year census is not a "robust" sample in the loose sense of being non-arbitrary or non-representative. But neither is any contiguous 20 or 30-year census, particularly if we wish to infer 100 year or longer trends. Indeed, the actual time scales we should be dealing with are millennial at minimum, and possibly geologic. On such scales no climate trends from the 20th century look at all out of place. It is precisely the "non-robust" selection of a tiny decade-scale period in late 20th century, with appallingly inaccurate or outright false comparisons to centuries-long "proxy data" that artificially begs an alarming conclusion.
The most recent 10 year data is a perfectly "robust" and appropriate counterpoint, as it demonstrates how seriously flawed the GCMs relied on by the IPCC are, with CO2 continuing to rise while temperature falls, and with the complete failure of the tropical "hot spot", that is the model-inferred signature of the hypothesized CO2-based global warming, to appear.
Scientific theories (or models) cannot be proven by statistical correlation, no matter how robust. But they can be falsified by robust data that contradicts their predictions. 10 years of cooling and failure of the hot spot to appear gives, in my mind, ample "robustness" to justify rejection of these models.
1o years selective? How about 150 years on the scale of 10.000 years of climate changes?ReplyDelete
After spending some time today trying to find a current working definition of the term "climate skeptic" it seems that it's a changing, inexact term. The term is mostly applied to people who are skeptical of the science justifying believe in AGW. With that usage Roger is not a climate skeptic.ReplyDelete
However, it seems that as the global warming debate gets more rancorous the term "climate skeptic" is being used as a pejorative to be fired at anyone who disagrees with the true believers. By that measure it fits Roger with his contrarian view of cap and trade.
Sometimes it's just too hard to deal with conflicting viewpoints. For example; since I failed to understand how Roger could be called a climate skeptic I just concluded that the person throwing the pejorative was a naïve, unthinking believer in the church of Global Warming. I could be wrong but now I can stop thinking about it. '-)
Imagine what this conversation could be like in 2012 if the sun remains quiet...ReplyDelete
...and the years 2010 to 2012 are actually cooler than 2009.
FWIW, scenario B in Hansen's 1988 testimony has a ~12 year period between 1970 and 1982 where the temperature remains flat and it's pretty damn flat between 2010 and 2020.ReplyDelete
I actually wrote about this issue in my blog in July. Here is the conclusion part:ReplyDelete
If all scientists are skeptics, then why would skeptic be an insult? The obvious reason is that the people who use the term are not skeptics, but "climate believers". These are people who have accepted the meme of AGW without the skeptical science that created the hypothesis. For the believing mind, skepticism is not part of their mental outlook. Once something is incorporated in their belief system, questioning it, testing it, trying alternative explanations are not normal scientific inquiry, but heresy to be punished.
What is the citation for that BAMS paper? I'm finding nothing in BAMS with Knight in the author list for 2009.
As a climate scientist myself I share the concern over the use of "skeptic" as a pejorative.
It is part of this online supplement
Roger - my experience certainly is different. I am an astronomer. I work in a department where a lot of people work on atmospheric physics. One of the atmospheric physicists is giving a seminar here in a few weeks called "A Global Warming Sceptic's Case". I'm sure everyone will be very happy to listen to what he has to say.ReplyDelete
On a point of substance, obviously I don't know what your colleague was actually arguing. But is the 1999-2008 trend in global temperatures statistically different from the 1979-2008 trend?
Back-projections before 1988 don't count since that was the reality-based tuning constraint. And if the clear rising trend of scenario B (CO2 linear increase) can be described as "pretty flat" then you'll have no trouble describing reality up to 2009 as very flat, since it follows scenario C (no CO2 increase beyond 2000).
That's of course too quickly of a judgement, though I don't find the reaction entirely surprising either, in the context of the popular debate about climate change. Not offering an excuse here, but merely a possible explanation.
The 'global warming has stopped since 1998' canard (Lucia?) is so often used as a pretext for not addressing the long term change in climate, that scientists have understandably grown very wary of even the mentioning of these short term trends. 99 out of a 100 times this is done in order to bash 'AGW'. I could equally imagine an evolutionary biologist getting defensive when missing fossils are brought up; good chance that it's a creationist talking. Better not to start accusing someone immediately, but with so many creationists/"skeptics" around, it's at least understandable (though not excusable).
And a possible analogy:
Over at the Examiner, Thomas Fuller had a post outlining a 'new generation of skeptical arguments against the theory of anthropogenic global warming' (AGW), which he felt had a lot of merit. I got to his post via a comment thread at RealClimate, where he asked for input. He did get quite a lot of feedback, but unfortunately, a lot of it was packaged in a rather negative tone. However, he framed his questions as "skeptical arguments advanced against the theory of anthropogenic global warming". He also acknowledged that scientists are getting frustrated "answering the same 'primitive' objections repeatedly, only to see them resurface shortly thereafter, something that I am sure is frustrating." I think a logical consequence is that his framing of the topic aroused a defensive reaction from supporters of the scientific consensus.

Talk about carnards; Three in one!
* I have always cautioned anyone from making any comparison starting in 1998.
* I haven't ever said global warming stopped at all.
* I also have never said we should not address long term changes in climate.
I've consistently told my readers that global warming is real both based on the physics and based on statistics etc. I'm for promoting alternate energy for a variety of reasons including limiting carbon emissions. I specifically want to see nuclear including in the mix.
What I have said I've said the AR4 multi-model mean overpredicts warming while always pointing out the data show warming clealry exists and has not "ended". I have said the second many, many times.
However, for some reason, some people (you?) seem to want to translate any suggestion that some specific set of model runs might be a tad above the actual trend as being the same as saying there is no warming. Then you use your mis-representation of what I have said as an excuse to mis-represent or over react to what other people say.
Frankly, I think the tendency of some scientists (you?) to provide examples of precisely the behavior Roger discusses in the blog post tends to make readers believe Roger's reports that these reactions are common enough.
"The 'global warming has stopped since 1998' canard (Lucia?) is so often used as a pretext for not addressing the long term change in climate,..."ReplyDelete
Hypothetically, how long into the future would the world have to go without a year that was, say, 0.1 degree Celsius warmer than 1998, before you would agree that "global warming has stopped"?
To 2013? 2018? 2023? 2028? Longer?
Me mentioning your name was purely a tongue in cheek comment regarding me using the word "canard", which you pointed out to me I had used in the wrong way previously. It had nothing whatsoever to do with what I think your views are regarding the (future) state of the warming. No need for the defensive reaction (which happens indeed to be the red line of this blog post as I read it).
There are several papers out that point to the normalcy of 10 year periods that show no warming, without the underlying warming trend actually having changed. I'm not aware of the same conclusion to hold for 15-20 year time periods, so my guess is that in such a time frame, warming will resume. If not, we'll have to closely examine the reasons why it hasn't.
Yourclimate: "Several Papers" presumably refers to Easterling and Wehner (ONE paper!) which said that some models in some scenarios don't warm sometimes for ten year periods at a time and the rest of the stuff you said. The problem of course is that models may have something interesting to say reality is much more pertinent. So Easterling and Wehner looked at that to. And they found a couple of periods like the recent period, and concluded that such things can happen in the middle of substantial warming. BUT all the periods in the actual data were associated with volcanic eruptions, so there is no evidence that such periods on the way to warming are "normal" at all in the real world.ReplyDelete
Now ask yourself, if there is an extended period of no warming-that is, if the recent situation continues for a few more years, does that not at the very least mean that projections of much more rapid warming are far to pessimistic? No? Yes? I can't seem to get anyone to be clear on this and I figure you think you know quite a bit.
By the way, in the troposphere, the period of no warming is actually in excess of twelve years now, not ten.
Ahh.. Ok. Even on re-reading, it still seems to suggest that I advocate the things in that sentence. But, I can now see where that was not your intention.
People accusing me of advocating those things or wishing to block action on warming is not unprecedented on the web. So.. yea.. I read it that way.
I apologize for my misunderstanding that. You were using the word "canard" correctly this time. :)
You write, "There are several papers out that point to the normalcy of 10 year periods that show no warming, without the underlying warming trend actually having changed. I'm not aware of the same conclusion to hold for 15-20 year time periods..."
Are you counting the Knight et al. BAMS piece among those papers?
It's reasonable that you would, because the Knight et al. BAMS piece says this:
"Near-zero and even negative trends are common for intervals of a decade or less in the simulations, due to the model's internal climate variability."
"The simulations rule out (at the 95% level) zero trends for intervals of 15 yr or more, suggesting that an observed absence of warming of this duration is needed to create a discrepancy with the expected present-day warming rate."
But notice how they say that the simulations rule out (at a 95% level) zero trends for 15 years or more, but they make it seem like 10 years is nothing special.
So what about 11 years? 12 years? 13 years?
I think their "10 years or less...are common" is really just spin. They simply don't wish to acknowledge that even a 10-year interval of non-warming creates a greater-than-50-percent likelihood of a discrepancy with predicted warming rates.
P.S. Notice they write periods of "a decade OR LESS" (emphasis added) are common. Good spin!
That BAMS Knight paper... there really not much there there, is there? It's pretty short. But based on what the paper says:ReplyDelete
* after the temperature trends were observed, they collected together 10 model runs every one of which had a lower long term trend than the average from IPCC A1B runs, then found that that group of lower warming runs exhibits some number of zero or negative 10 year trends.
Things not revealed to the reader:
1) How that group of 10 models hindcasts.
2) The variability of "weather noise" in that group of 10 model runs relative to the earth's variablity
3) What the comparison would revela if they did not correct for ENSO. (This actually matters-- depending on how well ENSO explains anything in the models. Maybe model ENSO's aren't very explanatory? We don't know unless it's shown or discussed.)
I'm sure I could think of more. But, quite honestly, I don't think Knight is an example of a paper that shows 10 year periods with zero trends were "expected". As it stands, I don't even think they showed readers of the paper that 10 year periods with zero trends would be expected based on any reasonable standard other than, possibly, "EMERGENCY. WE NEED A PAPER THAT SAYS THIS!"
FWIW, Hansen's scenerio B has a linear increase in the CO2 FORCING, not the CO2 mixing ratio (that is exponential, see down at the bottom of the link).
The global temperature rises in Scenerio B rises from about 1980 to 2010 and then goes pretty much flat for ten years (see the first figure in the link). Moreover the 1970-1980 period in Scenerio B, which Hansen considered the most likely, was somewhat flatter than the measured trend.
So yeah.
Yes. Hansen's projections published in 1988, did not do a very good jop hindcasting the dip due to the eruption of Fuego during the 70s, and consequently, it's hindcast of the trend during that period was not very good. This has nothing to do with Knight or even "Scenario B".
The Earth has recently recovered from a period of unusual cold (LIA). The speed of recovery and present level are fairly typical of the last few thousand years, and the present level is near the average. The last decade or so has flat to slightly dropping global temperatures, and presently many (including AGW supporters) think it will continue for a decade or more. There is no tropic hot spot in the predicted level. The Arctic, which melted a lot recently seems to be recovering, and Antarctic is generally cool. Would someone please tell me what predictions have been made and supported that strongly support AGW as opposed to clearly falsifying it.ReplyDelete
"The global temperature rises in Scenerio B rises from about 1980 to 2010 and then goes pretty much flat for ten years (see the first figure in the link)."ReplyDelete
What is the slope of a linear regression line through the years 2010 to 2019?
"Moreover the 1970-1980 period in Scenerio B, which Hansen considered the most likely,..."
The years 1970 to 1980 had already passed when James Hansen did his analysis. So all three scenarios should have had the same same forcing for the 1970-1980 period, which should have been the actual forcing. As pointed out by jgdes, the fact that a model mimics the past doesn't prove much about the model's ability to predict the future. As he noted, the actual temperatures in 2009 are closest to James Hansen's Model C, in which all greenhouse forcings stopped increasing in 2000 (i.e. climate change was solved in 2000).
From accused denier Steven Levitt:ReplyDelete
In my opinion any scientist who isn't a sceptic isn't doing his job right. Always questions your results/conclusions, until you can no longer find a reason to doubt them.ReplyDelete
Then they are 'true' only as long as noone finds any evidence to counter them.

Jackson, Tenn. - 3/7/2003 - The No. 7 Ranked Union University Lady Bulldogs won two games today in the Union University Invitational Tournament. The Lady Bulldogs topped Olivet Nazarene University 3-0 in the first game and rolled Grace College 16-0 in the second game. Freshman, Mary Kosco threw her first career collegiate no-hitter for Union in the win over Grace. Union improves to 9-1 on the season. Olivet is 3-1 overall and Grace is 0-2 on the year.
In game one, Union scored a run in the second and two more in the fourth to earn the 3-0 win. Leah Gronberg pitched seven innings of three hit ball while striking out nine batters. Gronberg improves to 4-1 on the season. Leading Union on the offensive side were freshmen Jessica Kee and Holly Haycraft with two hits apiece. Kee also drove in two runs on the day with a double. Olivet Nazarene was led by Alicia Hammel with a 2-of-3 performace at the plate. Emily Johnston took the loss for Olivet Nazarene giving up three earned runs on seven hits.
In game two, Union used two big innings to put this game away. The Lady Bulldogs scored seven runs in the second and nine more in the fourth for their biggest output of the season. Union tallied 16 runs on 12 hits and two Grace College errors. Union's freshman pitcher, Mary Kosco, tossed her first collegiate no-hitter while striking out 10 batters over five innings. Kosco is now 5-0 on the season. Jessica Kee continued her hot hitting as she remained perfect on the day going 3-for-3 in the second game. Haycraft and Leah Gronberg each talled two hits for the Lady Bulldogs. For Grace College, Amy Smith took the loss as she game up 12 runs on nine hits over 3.1 innings. S. Herbst pitched the final two-thirds of the inning giving up four runs on three hits.

Michael Spencer and Justin Pacheco-Ortiz, kindergartners at Frank Wagner Elementary School, look through a book of trucks during class. The students are part of a dual-language program, in which they spend half the day learning and speaking in English and half in Spanish.
They were speaking Spanish, a native language for only about half of the two dozen boys and girls in the room.
Six-year-old Lily Moore spoke mostly in Spanish. She is proud of how much of the language she has learned.
"I can count up to seven in Spanish, and I know all the letters," she said.
Lily is one of 48 children at the school pioneering a new type of bilingual education program in the Monroe School District. The goal is simple: All students will learn to read, write and speak in English and Spanish up to the fifth grade. Classes in math, social sciences and science will be taught in both languages.
Monroe offers different programs to help students learn English but was looking for a program that benefited English speakers, as well. So far, parents praise the program because they want their children to learn a second language at an early age.
Studies suggest students in dual-language programs do better academically than their peers in single-language classes. The only known drawback: There are not enough teachers qualified to teach in a second language.
"The research about (being bilingual) shows that knowing two languages early in life expands a certain part of the brain," district spokeswoman Rosemary O'Neil said. "And students who speak two languages do better with problem-solving, thinking more creatively and do better on scholastic tests of any kind: local, state and national."
Monroe's dual-language program is the only one in the county. Arlington discontinued its program at Eagle Creek Elementary after only a few years, because, a district official said, not enough English-speaking families were enrolling.
Monroe spent about five years researching dual-language programs. Teachers and staff visited schools in the Northshore and Mount Vernon school districts to learn more, O'Neil said.
The district wanted to create another program, in addition to the traditional programs it already has, to help the non-English-speaking students. The district has about 500 students enrolled in an English as a Second Language program.
There are 23 languages besides English and Spanish spoken among students in Monroe schools. Spanish is the second most common language in the district, and Frank Wagner was chosen because it has the largest Hispanic student population, O'Neil said.
The program started this year, when the district received state funding. There is no additional expense by the district or the parents. The program accepted 50 students -- 25 who speak English and 25 who speak Spanish as their first language. So far, two students have left the program because they moved away from the district.
Next year, the students will continue the program in first grade while a new kindergarten class will start for the next school year. This will continue until fifth grade.
A few months after starting in the program, 6-year-old Dylan Weekley was working hard to learn Spanish. He practiced his numbers while counting spaces playing board games, said his father, Eric Weekley, 36.
He speaks short phrases in each language.
The program also sparked Dylan's interest in learning, Weekley said.
"It is exciting for him now. Before, (the Spanish lessons) were overwhelming," Weekley said. "I'm very happy with the program. It is very beneficial for him."
He believes that knowing Spanish will help Dylan and his classmates get jobs in the future.
Spanish-speaking parents, meanwhile, said the class helps their children to preserve their first language as they learn English.
Roxana Mendez, 30, has seen her nephews lose their ability to speak Spanish. She taught her 8-year-old son Spanish. She also wanted her 6-year-old son, Christian Navarrete, to speak both languages.
This way, Christian could communicate with his Mexican family and even help them in the future as their interpreter, she said. He can now write in both languages.
"He recognizes all the sounds. I consider him as being bilingual," Mendez said.
Students are divided into two groups, with half the group speaking English and the other Spanish. After lunch, they switch to speak the other language.
"This way, they are learning from each other," Frank Wagner Principal Robin Fitch said.
So far, the students are learning at a quick pace. In late January, they were already writing and reading sentences in two languages, Fitch said, a goal they weren't expected to reach until closer to the end of the school year.
Right now, the main challenge is to find qualified teachers for future years, but Fitch has already received a call from a teacher in Texas interested in applying for a position, she said.
Another goal is to integrate the Hispanic community with the rest of the Monroe community. To help Hispanic parents become more involved and to know more about what the children are learning in class, Frank Wagner hosts monthly family nights where the students do crafts, sing and eat treats.
Bilingual education started in the 1960s in Florida when exiled Cubans wanted their children to retain their Spanish while learning English, said Virginia Collier, emeritus professor at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. She, alongside colleague Wayne Thomas, has researched bilingual education since 1985 by checking test scores and interviewing parents and staff.
At their last study, they analyzed the test scores of 210,054 students from five school districts in the country, including one in Oregon, from 1996 to 2001.
They found that Spanish-speaking children in bilingual programs did better than their peers who were in ESL classes or did not receive any language help. They also found that English-speaking students enrolled in bilingual courses did better in school than students in one-language courses.
"In some cases, they are one grade ahead," Collier said. "It could be any student. We are even finding that students with special needs who are in bilingual education are doing better."
Dual-language programs have support from U.S. English, a national nonprofit organization that advocates English as the nation's official language.
The organization favors English immersion programs, but its own research suggests dual-language courses teach English faster and do not harm native language speakers, spokeswoman Karin Davenport said.
"We believe that any program should be focused on getting all students proficient in English as quickly as possible," she said.
In recent years, the number of dual-language programs has increased in Washington state. There are 22 districts in the state that have at least one of these programs in their schools, according to a survey by the state Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction and the University of Washington.
The need for these programs will increase because there will be more people speaking languages besides English, said Michael Shapiro, board member of the Washington Association for Bilingual Education, a nonprofit advocacy group.
"By 2023, 51 percent of the population under 19 years of age will speak another language besides English in the nation according to census projections," Shapiro said. "In Washington state, it will be a little bit higher."
The first dual-language program in the state started two decades ago, but most programs have started within the past 10 years, he said. Bellevue offers a program in English and Mandarin. And Highline, in Burien, next fall will start a program in English and Vietnamese.
Globalization will require that the future work force know how to write, read and speak in more than one language.
"These days you could see a help-wanted ad saying 'bilingual preferred,' " Shapiro said. "At a certain point, it will say 'biliterate required.' "

|All Children's Hospital Helps Develop and Test Pediatric Adverse Drug Event Trigger Tool
All Children's Hospital was one of 12 children's hospitals from a Child Health Corporation of America (CHCA) collaborative involved in a two phased study which led to the development of the 15-trigger CHCA pediatric-focused adverse drug event detection (ADE) trigger tool, and the subsequent evaluation of this new ADE trigger tool. The study reinforced that trigger tools have a greater ability to identify ADEs than administrative database analysis, hospital-based occurrence reports, and nontriggered chart review. This study was recently published in the April 2008 edition of Pediatrics, and entitled "Development, Testing and Findings of a Pediatric-Focused Trigger Tool to Identify Medication-Related Harm in US Children's Hospitals".

Whoa, this thread has really made my brain begin to bubble ... such a collection of fantastic artwork!
There's a whole bunch here I totally love... prostate sunrise, hurricane, Android, Hyver, JasonChan, xia and Main Loop's pieces all catch my eye in the best of ways.
JasonChan's in particular is drool-worthy
Android and Hyver's images seem to be a fair bit larger than the accepted dimensions? It'd be a shame to have to disqualify them or anything though, since they're so nicely done - but maybe they could be re-sized to 800px wide, and leave the height at whatever that produces?
August 7th, 2005 #5
i actually have to admit i'd choose hyver over android in this one. i mean android's of course great as usual but by looking at hyver's i just feel....diminished. i really get the feeling that she is a demon queen who could unleash holy hell on my ass. oh well i'm not judge.

where's the i'm not worthy icon?
first off, thanks you guys/gals for the comments! i feel privilidged and humbled to be matched with the likes of Android.
I sent cody a regular 800pixel version of my entry, but added a link to the bigger version, because you can't see shit in the smaller version.. i'm honored that he chose to post the bigger version (but i would understand completely if this was to be sized down for download/layout reasons.. i'll keep the big version in my personal sb thread anyways - where i'll also show some detail shots and the story behind it )
Andrew - awesome work man, respect! I'm glad it's over now though - the stress was killing me (and i have a workshop full of people to vouch for that )
May the hardest working man win eh? (yes i meant James Brown)
I'll comment on the other pieces later on- i have a workshop to run...

Prostate, Xia and Andrew are the best here IMO.
Joiton - also my fav but could use some more finishing - more contrast etc. but the idea is wicked
Kind of dissapointed by Jason Chan's piece - it's very solid, but you could do soooo much better than this!

Arch enemy Flip...good effort... respect is there for turning in a piece and always having a smartass comment to make
Hurricaine... nice colors and armor desgin...very eye catching
Android...Why are you such an awsome artist
Xia- Jeeze those scales look so tedious to render.. mad props
Great work everyone...I can't believe how awsome this TD turned out to be
August 7th, 2005 #30
There is so much amazing shit here!!
Android and Hyver, I hate to see one of you leave because I would love to see more by both of you. I agree, that this one is gonna be the toughest to judge. But Hyver, you must be on some serious acid trip to come up with demons and creatures and legos and playskool figures and TV (which is evil). Perspective is amazing too.
Hurricane, Genital Eclipse, Prostate, Xia, and JasonChan Very nice works. All top notch.

Wild Nothing was the most relevant & authentic band of 2k12
- ‹ previous
- 2350 of 2400
- next ›
In 2k12, I fell out of love with the indie music scene. My mind became clouded with the rise of the undeserving buzzbands, the broken way that blogs think they are supposed to post as much bullshit as possible, and my own drive to 'stay alive' by blogging abt shit that I don't even care about. I often think back to what 'formative spirit of indie' possessed me to even enjoy 'the scene' enough to start a blog about it. I've been trying to rediscover the elements that made it all fun.
I forgot how 2 buzz. I forgot how 2 tastemake. I forgot how 2 celebrate worthy efforts.
These are three indie values that we can use in order to 'get back on track' in the face of this Broken Indie Machine.
1) Indie is most fun when we are positively celebrating a band that is 'making a leap', when you feel like a band is actualizing their potential. When in doubt, always 'hype' newer products, instead of leaning on existing buzzband brands which make the scene feel 'stale.'
2) We enjoy celebrating the diy-vibed efforts of people who opt to carve their own paths instead of just 'trying too hard' to 'play by the rules' and exploit established press mechanisms
3) The buzzband that makes the most bloggable mp3s is ultimately the most valuable. (AKA- bands that can write entire albums with solid MP3s should be considered the most valuable bands)
There is one album that soothed my vibes since its release in late August. It helped me 2 rediscover my <3. It helped me 2 re-understand why I even listen 2 music. It took me to an offline place where I no longer thought abt it in terms of the internet indie machine. It helped me understand my past, and gave me hope 4 the future.
Wild Nothing's "Nocturne" is the most relevant/authentic/organically_buzzworthy album of 2k12.
"Nocturne" is one of the only albums that is interesting to listen to 'start to finish' of the year. While so many other over-branded (and overrated) buzzbands just got to replicate their sound on an album that 'of course' critics were supposed to love, Wild Nothing was album to 'grow into their potential.' The idea of a band 'organically' reaching their potential is not something that the current indiesphere has the tools to recognize anymore. Right now it's all about the model of taking a 'new' buzz product and forcing them down your throat as 'the next great thing.'
Wild Nothing's "Paradise" is the greatest song that Cut Copy never wrote.
There's more to Wild Nothing than understanding why Nocturne was the perfect-est album of 2k12. Digging to the core of Wild Nothing requires multiple listens to their 2010 album Gemini. It's weird to revisit that album now because Gemini was almost imperfectly wedged between the chillwave movement and the buzzy fuzzy movement. Both genres have somewhat 'faded'/'evolved', but the 2k8-2k10 fuzzybuzzychillwave era was probably the last time that indie buzz was 'organically produced'. It was definitely a phase of music that represented the 'potential' of something great, and many of those bands didn't even produce 'what we though they were capable of.' In a way, I think Wild Nothing is actually the band that has actualized the spirit of the 'hypothetical potential' from 2k9-2k12.
"Chinatown" is probably one of the top 5 songs of the post-2k9 indie bubble burst era. In a way, it was actually the purest chillwave song ever written.
A song like "Summer Holiday" off Gemini resides on the fuzzybuzzy side of the spectrum.
Remember fuzzybuzzy, back when the idea of 'vintage garage guitar rock' with distorted vocals was 'pure'?
Remember chillwave, back when we used to celebrate the bleepbloops and chill synths with distorted vocals was organic?
Wild Nothing - "Golden Haze"
Of course it was pretty mediocre (besides the singles), but I think it was somewhat impossible for all of those bands to maintain the spirit of DIY that attracted us to them. That 'DIY spirit' of people making music outside of our 'expectations for how we should interact with music' is basically gone. Fortunately, Wild Nothing didn't really get caught up in the press cycle (except their dumb music video for "Paradise" that they let Michelle Williams ruin by directing & reading some stupid M83-ish poem over it).
Wild Nothing's Nocturne is the most relevant/authentic buzzband & buzz album of 2k12.
Will 2k13 produce more relevancy?
Can we get back to this kind of purity, or will we just keep hyping 'bull shit'?
Can we get back 2 the formative spirit of indie?
Did "Nocturne" teach us how 2 <3 again?
Did Wild Nothing teach us how 2 ride chillwave again?
Did Wild Nothing 'escape' the grasp of the Corrupt Indie Machine?
Is Wild Nothing the greatest chillwave band that nvr existed?
If a chillwave band/the Arcade Fire/existing buzzband wrote this album, would it be hyped as best of the year?
Is Wild Nothing's "Nocturne" just the same ol' indie nostalgic 80s aesthetic that became so tired, or did they actually 'perfect' it?
Should Wild Nothing frontman Jack Tatum be celebrated more as a relevant indie celeb?
Should HIPSTER RUNOFF hype him as a 'Hottie McHotHot Hunk'?
What was ur #1 album of 2k12?
R u 1 of those lamestreamers who picked a 'rap album'?
R u 1 of those indiestreamers who picked a 'name brand' indie band?
Do websites that make year-end best-of lists even 'care' about the music, or are they just trying 2 get hits?
Is 'indie' almost dead [via the core fan base getting older] or will there be 1 last Renaissance b4 it all dies?
Here are a few more songz 2 vibe on.
Wild Nothing - "Nocture" (title track)
Wild Nothing - Only Heather

TomTom announces five millionth Map Share™ improvement report
Dec 16 2008
TomTom announces five millionth Map Share™ improvement report
~ Community participation in TomTom's proprietary map improvement technology grows 1,000% in less than a year ~
16 December 2008 - TomTom, the world's leading navigation solutions provider, today announces that members of the TomTom Map Share community have made a total of five million map updates worldwide. This milestone is the result of the rapid adoption of TomTom's proprietary technology by the TomTom Map Share community, which has grown from half a million users at the beginning of 2008 to more than five million users today.
TomTom is able to deliver the most up-to-date maps in a changing world by enlisting the help of its users worldwide. Map Share allows TomTom customers to make improvements to their map instantly on their TomTom navigation device. Once verified by TomTom moderators, these updates are made available to the entire Map Share community, ensuring TomTom customers always have access to the most up-to-date maps.
"From the beginning, we envisioned Map Share as a tool to help drivers contend with the frustration of unexpected road changes, and to be used between map updates," said Corinne Vigreux, managing director, TomTom. "To put this five million milestone in perspective, a one-hour trip made anywhere in Europe or North America will be influenced by twenty to thirty Map Share corrections.
"The success of Map Share is also due to the fact that the improvements made are those that customers really care about, and that the community has taken the time to report and share these corrections."
The significance of this milestone is also reinforced by comparing the number of Map Share updates with the 15,000 reports received by Tele Atlas per month from users of its online map reporting system, Map Insight.
Map Share facts:
- • hundreds of thousands of street names have been added
• almost one million roads that were incorrectly blocked (or open) are now included or excluded from TomTom routes
• Map Share users in the UK, US and Germany make the most improvements
Steven New, a delivery driver from Northumberland, is the most regular and active user of TomTom Map Share in the UK. He commented: "With roads constantly changing, Map Share has become invaluable to my driving for work, which involves around 700 miles per week. It has helped to improve the efficiency of my hectic delivery schedule considerably. Where a road name or speed limit has changed, for example, I am able to correct this immediately and benefit from it during my daily and weekly routine. I'm also able to download the thousands of improvements made by other users, and share my Map Share changes with the rest of the TomTom community, so I am also helping other TomTom customers."
TomTom's complete map package, which includes high quality maps pre-installed on all products, TomTom's latest map guarantee, the TomTom Map Update Service™ and Map Share, allows TomTom to provide customers with the most up-to-date and reliable maps in the industry.
Map Share corrections are available to TomTom customers via TomTom HOME software, which comes as standard with all TomTom devices.

CHERRYVILLE — As coach Butch Blalock said after the game, Highland Tech rode its "money man to the bank."
For the second time this season, Kameron Harper cashed in with a huge shot to beat county rival Cherryville 55-54 Friday night at Nixon Gym.
Harper's 3-pointer from the left wing with 18 seconds left proved to be the game winner, capping a rally in which the Rams overcame an eight-point deficit.
The Ironmen had a final possession to win the game after calling a timeout with 8.7 seconds remaining to map strategy. However, Rhyer Davis missed a runner in the lane, and Nick Corbett failed to connect on a second-chance shot as the buzzer sounded.
"I was open, and it was my shot," said Harper, who led all scorers with 22 points. "I wanted to go for the win on that one because we were down by two."
In a similar situation in the first meeting between the teams at Tech, Harper drove for a layup with 4.8 seconds left and then added a free-throw to lift the Rams to a 77-73 win.
In the season series against the Ironmen, Harper has two winning shots and a total of 46 points.
"My dad told me a long time ago that if you have a money man, take him to the bank," Blalock said. "I am not smart enough to be complicated. We have three guys like that, and tonight we rode Kameron again."
The game was furiously played but ragged at times. The Ironmen struggled against Tech's full court pressure, turning it over eight times in the second quarter, and again late reywhen the Rams stormed back after trailing 52-44 near the three-minute mark.
In addition, Cherryville rushed some shots down the stretch instead of pulling the ball out and running the clock.
Josh Neely added 15 points for Tech and was a force on the offensive and defensive glass.
And Sebastian Nieminen came on in the fourth quarter for Tech after shooting 1-for-7 in the first two periods, finishing with 13.
For the Ironmen, who failed to close out the game on Senior Night, Kenny Poston led with 12 points, followed by Brandon Warren with 11 and Davis with 10. The Rams controlled Poston from 3-point range, limiting him to 4-for-14 shooting and two 3's.
Highland Tech girls 47, Cherryville 39 — Tech (1-21,1-13) won its first game of the season behind 26 points from Madison Armstrong.
Leading 24-18 at the break, the Lady Rams opened the third quarter with a 9-0 run to take control. Tech extended the lead to 17 early in the fourth before Cherryville almost climbed back in the game on the crest of a 10-0 surge.
A steal and layup by Jaquilla Burris pulled Cherryville to 39-33 with about four minutes left, but the Lady Ironmen could get no closer.
Tech pulled out of danger as Armstrong made four straight free throws to make it 43-33. For the game, Armstrong shot 12-for-16 at the stripe, and Tech outscored Cherryville 15-2 in that category.
Molly Whitworth's 13 points led Cherryville. Kayla Walker added 10 for Tech.

Comment: ordered 6 inch upper, received 10 inch boot with same sole tread as 6 inch, but I like the boots so am keeping. Would probably like the tread on MB 1006BL advertised 10" same price.
Saint Louis , MO
Comment: I bought these motorcycle boots about a month ago. Very good quality and the price was amazing. I had several pairs of HD boots that cost more than double and weren't half as well made. I'll buy again from this company.

Comment: Good quality, nice and heavy. Thick soles. Sizes do run big. Good overall value!
Comment: Excellent boots! Have had them for almost a year and the threads are still tight. I was in a motorcycle accident getting off the freeway in the rain, motorcycle landed on my leg pushing the toe of my boot into the road and dragging down the off ramp; boot only had a big scuff but my foot was fine.
San Diego CA
Comment: Bought these with lots of questions as to fit since I doubt mail order anything. These should be ordered 1/2 size smaller as suggested, but the fit is spot on. These felt broke in out of the box. Luv 'em. Comfortable when working or riding. My wife likes 'em too!
Jim Hughes
Grantsville WV
Comment: I wanted myushsuband to have and wear boots that were a cross between Charles Manson amd Jim Morrisson.These were so close, right down to the cool square toes. I bought them for a graduation gift for him and he LOVED them!!! They were a bit unfomfortable at first, and make him a bit taller 5, Perfect!!!!GREAT price, so far so good!Thanks!!!
Anita Squeak
East Coast
Comment: Great boot for the price. I will order another pair once mine wear out!
San Antonio, TX
Comment: Ordered as a gift. Boots came in a timely manner and fit him perfectly!
Comment: Fantastic short boot. Exactly as described. Great price and great value. Fits is a 1/2 size large so take into consideration. Shipping is high but is offset by product cost. If shipping was free I would never shop anywhere else.
Comment: By writing in detail about your product you are helping your biker buddies make better choices. Thank you.
Comment: The price is great and the quality is great too. Definitely a great buy for the money. Fast shipping. I wear a 13 and I don't feel like I have boat anchors on my feet like most boots.
Post Falls, Idaho
Comment: Very nice price. I have buy mine to where under my suit and when I go to work..You can where it in every occation.
Curacao Netherland AntIlles(Caribean)
Comment: This is my first riding boot, I am 74 years old, and I just took my first lesson to learn to ride. The boot was all you could ask for. It was both practical and comfortable. I expected it to be like the old Army combat boot, but it wasn't. It protected my foot and ankle in case I fell, I was able to easily shift gears without the feeling of having a stiff or rigid footwear on. To top it off, it is a nice looking boot.
Anton Onorato
Mahopac, NY
Comment: Good boot for the money. Accurate sizing.
Rochester, NY
Comment: These boots are very high quality and very comfortable to wear. They have a sleek look and great style. I wear them a lot more than just biking, because they are comfortable. I did order 1/2 size smaller than I normally wear, which was recommended in other reviews. They fit perfect. You can't go wrong, with these boots!
Keith Hietpas
Comment: Very high quality for the low price. I have owned a pair of Red Wing boots for 10 years and these are almost as good of quality only about $110.00 less expensive. As most other people have said, they do run big in sizes so I took their advise and ordered a size smaller than I usually wear and they fit the first time. Just make sure to break them in gradually before you commit to wearing them for prolonged amounts of time (such as a long work shift) and they will be a very comfortable and stylish pair of boots! You probably won't find a better pair for the price anywhere else.
Comment: I Love the boots, but i need them in a smaller size. Do you have them in a Men's size 6?
Comment: These boots are very good in every sense a motorcycle boot should be.the leather is really very high quality&sole is good too.These boots are really comfortable&design is amazing.Jafrum's communication&customer support is very good.Five stars for jafrum.
fahim latif bhat
Comment: I bought these on sale and was the best money I have spent on boots so far. I like the old 70's style and of course in black. They slip on and off easy.They clean up good but will take some breaking in. They are very stiff at first but soften up with use. For some strange reason I seem to be able to shift gears better. An all around great boot. Jafrum hasn't failed me on all that I have purchased so far.
Comment: I LOVE THESE BOOTS, THEY R COMFORTABLE , STYLISH , AND GREAT QUALITY. AND BEST OF ALL, I REALLY LOVE THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO B SHIPPED TO ME IN CANADA. I COULD NOT FIND ANY OTHER COMPANY THAT WOULD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH...VERY HAPPY AND SATISIED WITH YOU PRODUCT
Comment: Good deal for the price. Size was right on.
Michael Hoersch
Schofield, Wisconsin
Comment: This would be a better product if it had a zipper on the side.
Dallas, Ga.
Comment: I like boot but a bit on heavy side. I took advice and ordered 1/2 size smaller. Fit was good. I think I would order a full boot next time.

Subhash C. Pandey, PhD
Professor of biochemistry in Psychiatry
Professor of Anatomy and Cell Biology
Director, Neuroscience Alcoholism Research
VA Career Scientist
Dr. Subhash Pandey is a nationally and internationally well-known neuroscientist in the alcohol addiction field and has contributed significantly towards a better understanding of the neurobiology of alcoholism. Two striking features of alcohol addiction are the rapid onset of tolerance to the acute effects of alcohol and the development of ethanol withdrawal symptoms after cessation of protracted ethanol consumption. Predisposition to alcohol abuse may involve abnormalities in the signaling cascade pathways that ultimately lead to abnormal gene transcription patterns in the specific neural circuitry of the brain. The long-term goal of Dr. Pandey's alcohol research program is to elucidate the molecular and cellular mechanisms (cAMP responsive element binding protein (CREB) gene transcription factor and CREB-related genes; epigenetics) involved in anxiety, alcohol dependence and/or alcohol drinking behaviors so as to eventually provide a basis for designing drugs to treat alcohol abuse and anxiety disorders. Changes in CREB function may also lead to changes in synaptic structures, such as dendritic spines in the brain, during ethanol exposure and its withdrawal. Dr. Pandey's lab has also involved in investigating the epigenetic mechanisms (chromatin remodeling due to histone modifications and DNA methylation) of anxiety and alcohol addiction. An additional area of Dr. Pandey's interest is to identify the molecular and cellular mechanisms that are operative in the interactions between ethanol and nicotine. It is possible that alcohol and nicotine may share common molecular mechanisms in common neurocircuitry involved in producing behaviors related to co-abuse of smoking and drinking. Some of his work has been highlighted by National Institutes of Health:
Molecular and cellular neurobiology of alcohol abuse and alcoholism.
- Epigenetic mechanisms of alcoholism and anxiety
- Neuronal signaling in alcoholism
- Role of CREB and related genes in alcoholism and anxiety
- Genetic basis of alcoholism
- Role of adolescent ethanol exposure on epigenetic and behavioral changes at adulthood

I am reordering this cologne for my 11 year old son. I bought this for him when her was very young as his 1st cologne. He doesn't like any adult scents. He has hugo Boss, but just told me to reorder his childhood one. I just wish the bottle didn't have a character on it. If it gets him to practice good hygene...I will go for it. I try to teach him to alway smell good!!!

Nicknamed the Queen City, Charlotte and the county containing it are named in honor of the German Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg, who had become queen consort of British King George III the year before the city's founding. A second nickname derives from later in the 18th century. During the American Revolutionary War, British commander General Cornwallis occupied the city but was driven out afterwards by hostile residents, prompting him to write that Charlotte was "a hornet's nest of rebellion," leading to another city nickname: The Hornet's Nest.
