USMNT makes roster changes after returning from Brazil, Korea Republic defeats Costa Rica at LA Coliseum
The U.S. National Team returned to the StubHub Center from Brazil "dry run" with a few subtractions and a new face, U.S. Soccer announced on Friday.
Jurgen Klinsmann's side will be without Colorado Rapids defenders Shane O'Neill and Chris Klute, Sporting Kansas City defenders Chance Myers and Seth Sinovic, and Houston Dynamo goalkeeper Tally Hall who were sent back to their respective clubs. However, Klinsmann added new Columbus Crew defender Michael Parkhurst to the roster. The U.S. will face Korea Republic on Feb. 1 at StubHub Center.
Prior to leaving Brazil, Galaxy forward Landon Donovan spoke to media about the Americans prospects at the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the opportunity to train at former training ground of his LA teammates Juninho and Leonardo.
"I play in Los Angeles with two players from Sao Paulo, Leonardo and Juninho. They spoke a lot about Sao Paulo before we got here. They said it's beautiful here and that we would like it a lot. Everything they said has been correct," Donovan told reporters. "We are staying in a beautiful part of the city. We walk around in the afternoon and the people are very friendly. We feel safe here, we feel accepted here, and it's been very nice to have a couple weeks to adapt to what it's going to be like this summer."
While the U.S. returned from South America and made changes to their roster, Korea Republic defeated Costa Rica 1-0 on Saturday at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Kim Shin-wook scored the lone goal in a testy match between the two World Cup-bound nations that saw two Costa Ricans sent off.
Korea will now travel to San Antonio, Texas for their match with Mexico at the Alamo Dome on Wednesday before returning to face the U.S. on Saturday. Highlights of their victory over Costa Rica are below.
Adonis Amaya continued his torrid scoring run with two goals as the LA Galaxy U-18's crushed Folsom-based San Juan Soccer Club 3-0.
Amaya put the Galaxy U-18's out in front in the 66th minute before teammate Ryo Fujii doubled the lead just three minutes later. The former U.S. U-17 international completed his brace in the 81st minute to give the Galaxy their second straight victory and bring his goal total to 14, putting him level with De Anza Force's Carlos Delgadillo and Carolina Rapids' Tanner Roberts for the USSDA goalscoring lead. The Galaxy U-18's are now 9-3-2 on the year and will take on the Vancouver Whitecaps FC U-18's on Feb. 8.
The Galaxy U-16 side extended their unbeaten streak to 14 games with a 4-0 victory over San Juan SC. Ethan Zubak tallied a brace in the victory with Dylan Smith and Rey Ortiz rounding out the scoring. The Galaxy U-16's remain the lone undefeated team in their age group with a 10-0-4 record and return to action on Feb. 8 against the Vancouver Whitecaps FC U-16 side.
TIJUANA— Club Tijuana returned to winning ways on Friday after captain Javier Gandolfi scored the lone goal in a 1-0 victory over Monarcas Morelia at the Estadio Caliente.
Tijuana was in firm control of the match from the opening whistle as they dominated possession against a listless Morelia side. After peppering the Monarcas net for much of the first half, Tijuana broke through in the 61st minute when Gandolfi smashed a Francisco Arce free kick into the back of the Morelia net.
The victory extended Tijuana's home unbeaten streak to 16 games and a 2-1-1 record after four matches in the Clausura tournament.
A few observations from the match:
*Having seen Club Tijuana play numerous times since the start of their season, the primary question mark remains the uneven play of left back Edgar Castillo. The U.S. international has always been more of an attacking wing back that can be a liability on defense, which could be a major asset for the Galaxy attack. When the two teams meet in March, expect LA to look to pressure Castillo in order to find space behind the Xolos defense.
*Midfielder Fidel Martinez is the true engine of the Tijuana attack, but against Morelia, he's struggled to create dangerous opportunities going forward. Against Monarcas, the Ecuadorian was afforded plenty of time and space by a Morelia midfield that preferred to sit back and allow Xolos possession. A very technical attacker, look for the Galaxy to attempt to limit his space and force him to give away possession. However, if the LA midfield does provide him with time to operate, he should provide a dangerous test for the Galaxy defense.
*A lot has been made over the past several years about the turf at the Estadio Caliente, but after placing a new surface earlier this year, it is a marked improvement from the hard concrete-like surface of years past. That being said, it is still not the equal of a turf surface like the one at JELD-WEN Field in Portland as the ball too often sticks to the ground causing problems for the home side and visitors alike. Prior to the match on March 18, expect the Galaxy to spend a considerable amount of time training on turf surfaces to prepare.
It's been quite the few months for Haji Wright and on Saturday, he added another goal and another trophy.
Wright and Monterrey product Joe Gallardo scored as the U-17's defeated host nation Turkey to win the Aegean Cup. The goal was Wright's first of the tournament, but the LA Galaxy Academy forward has been considered one of the top performers during the tournament in Turkey. Wright's performance comes on the heels of his stellar five goal showing that helped the U.S. win the Nike International Friendlies in December.
The U.S. U-17's have been a revelation in the tournament after going undefeated in group play with victories over France and Norway as well as a draw with Scotland before qualifying for the final and defeating Turkey.
Thoughts on Wright's performances? Should he be a homegrown signing for LA?

The LA Galaxy's newest Brazilian forward Samuel has arrived in Southern California.
LA's newest striker arrived on Friday morning on a flight from Brazil ahead of LA's prepration which begun earlier in the day. Time Warner Cable Deportes was there to capture the action of Samuel's arrival and his first interactions with his new teammates.

The preseason is finally upon us and changes are being made rather rapidly for the LA Galaxy.
LA announced that the team has reconvened for the 2014 on Friday and will hold their first open session for the media on Tuesday, Jan. 28. When LA does return to preseason, they'll be doing so without a handful of notable players from 2013 including goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini and midfielder Michael Stephens who will not return for the upcoming season. Also departing are Sean Franklin (selected in MLS Re-Entry Draft Stage One), Hector Jimenez (trade to Columbus), Laurent Courtois (option declined), Colin Clark (option declined), Pablo Mastroeni (retired), and Jose Villarreal (loan to Cruz Azul).
In addition, the Galaxy revealed a tentative preseason schedule that included a closed-door scrimmage in Mexico City against Pumas UNAM on Feb. 11. With the match taking place less than a month prior to LA's date with Club Tijuana in the Quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Champions League; the match will surely be used as preparation for LA's CCL campaign.
Thoughts on the Cudicini and Stephens departures? A closed-door scrimmage against Pumas?

A quick little update for everyone.
Posting may be a bit light over the next two days, but we're planning some very exciting pieces of content around the LA Galaxy's CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinal match against Club Tijuna. Over the next two days, myself and other members of LAGalaxy.com will be in Tijuana seeing the sights and experincing the atmosphere south of the Border. While we're down here, be sure to offer any tips on any must-see spots.
Below is a little tease as we spoke to Club Tijana attacker -- and Tijuana native -- Fernando Arce as well as U.S. internationals Herculez Gomez, Paul Arriola and Joe Benny Corona on their series against the Galaxy. Arce can be seen in my instagram post wearing a t-shirt that reflects his belief about how the series will go.
The U.S. National Team has spent the last two weeks in Sao Paulo as part of a "dry run" ahead of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
During the two-week stay in Brazil, the U.S. has trained at the facilities of Sao Paulo FC and played a pair of scrimmages against their first team. The U.S. will head back to Southern California later this week ahead of their match against Korea Republic at StubHub Center.
In this video provided by U.S. Soccer, LA Galaxy center back Omar Gonzalez and several of his U.S. teammates discuss the trip.
Check out the video below.
The U.S. Under-17's and LA Galaxy Academy forward Haji Wright continued their impressive run on Wednesday with a 5-2 victory over Norway to advance to the championship of the Aegean Cup.
Wright came off the bench in the 41st minute as Americans overwhelmed the Scandinavians with three second half goals in a match that was shortened to 80 minutes due to tournament regulations. The match comes just a day after the Galaxy Academy forward tallied an assist in U-17's dramatic 2-1 win over France.
The U.S. will close group play on Friday against Scotland before taking part in the tournament's championship match on Jan. 25.
Thoughts on Wright's continued development? Hope that he ends up as an LA Galaxy Homegrown Player?
Share them below.
During the offseason, many in MLS take time to get away from the game, but LA Galaxy captain Robbie Keane has chosen the opposite route—using the preseason as time to receive his UEFA A and B coaching credentials.
In an in-depth interview with his former Republic of Ireland teammate Kevin Kilbane in The Daily Mail, Keane touched on a variety of topics including his position with the Galaxy -- Keane describes himself as the team's "number 10" -- to the best XI players that have played alongside the Irishman. However, his interest in coaching after his playing days are over was the most enlightening.
"I just want it for when I do finish playing but I have just signed a two year contract and hopefully will play beyond that," Keane said. "I was apprehensive because you are out of your comfort zone but I was surprised when I got out there the first time and really enjoyed it. When you are on the training pitch you see things and as soon as I got out there and saw the picture I was surprised.
"It was a natural progression. What else am I going to do? I won't go down the media road, I enjoy it out there every day too much," Keane added. "I've been very vocal about ex-players being involved, we don't see it enough in Ireland but it is starting to happen in England and hopefully with this FAI course, others will get involved.
The LA Captain also discussed his former Tottenham Hotspur teammate Jermain Defoe's signing with Toronto FC, noting that he'll be faced with pressure from the outset to start due to his Designated Player status.
"[Designated Players] have to produce all the time and the lads there rely on you and look to you when it's not going well to score or create a goal, change the game, get it by the scruff of the neck," said Keane. "There, because of what you're getting paid with the wages structure, everything is about you. The press wants you all the time and you are the face of the team that brings pressure.
"They are reliant on him to score and they look at what he is getting paid, which is normal over there, and there comes expectations with those wages," Keane added.

It went in pretty much even with the am pad but I wouldn't be surprised it it managed to get all the way through to and across that path that leads to the #16 basket. This one's my main roller and I use it a ton at Buffalo, so I'm in trouble if I can't find it. I even went back out there today and I bet I looked around for 45 minutes with no luck.

Great personal service!
Service reps were helpful and understanding with changes I requested. I asked for a change I wasn't sure I could have and it was done without any problems. I also needed a quick turn-around and they were absolutely able to do so.
good quality
We ordered these table numbers because we felt we could get holders and make them more visible than our venue's table numbers, which sat on the table. I would have liked to have the numbers in a purple instead of a teal, tho I perhaps didn't use the personalization tools properly. The quality of the cardstock was good, and sturdy....nice that it was printed on both sides....We were very satisfied with the results.
I received my cards in the mail yesterday, and of course they were beautiful. Everything I've ordered from MagnetStreet has been fantastic. While these were menu cards, I personalized them by converting them to a wedding announcement for our wedding album. My wedding reception theme was Mardi Gras, (purple, peacock green, and gold) and I had peacock feathers in my bouquet and throughout my reception decorations. It seemed fitting to choose Peacock Pizzaz for my wedding stationery with MagnetStreet. I must also comment on the quality of MagnetStreet's personnel. They were always friendly. I personally enjoyed and appreciated how they were so meticulious with my orders--catching the minor errors I did not catch. You might can find another stationers that cost more, but you will not find one with better people or quality. Everyone who has seen my stationery has raved over the pop of the colors, the quality of the paper, and how everything meshed together so perfectly. Thank you MagnetStreet for helping to make my wedding and reception perfect in every way!
Great design
It was a great design and came in a timely manner.

About the Center
The Facial Nerve Center is exclusively dedicated to the treatment of facial nerve disorders, and offers a full range of conventional and innovative therapies, as well as advanced surgical techniques. Our multidisciplinary staff provides superior care and compassionate support for patients with difficult-to-manage facial nerve disorders.
There are many causes for disorders of the facial nerve, and these often result in significant disfigurement and impaired function. Patients coming to the Center present with a variety of concerns regarding their facial paralysis, in addition to wanting to be sure about a proper diagnosis. Patients may experience difficulties with speech and eating, facial asymmetry, drooling, and an inability to close the eye on the paralyzed side. A less obvious but often grave concern is the inability to express emotion on the affected side. This loss of ability to communicate non-verbally can be extremely bothersome. Many patients also experience a reluctance to appear in public, and refrain from simple pleasures such as dining out.
To address the need for services dedicated to this problem, the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary's Facial Nerve Center was established in 1989. The Center provides the experience and expertise of a team of medical specialists skilled in the evaluation and treatment of facial nerve disorders.
The Facial Nerve Center at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary houses a variety of dedicated service areas. All examination rooms are equipped with laptop computers, with one room designated for capturing photographic and video documentation of facial movement. Our physical therapy rooms are designed to accommodate electrophysiological testing of facial nerve function. We also have an on-site Outcomes Research Center to track the efficacy of various treatment modalities. In addition, fine muscular function measurements can be performed at the Neurology Department next door at the Massachusetts General Hospital.

I am really glad I took this course. After studying secondary education in college, I was amazed that a course like this was not required of all future teachers of adolescents. The psychological changes that these young adults go through really do impact their interaction and everyday emotions while in high school. It would help every teacher of young adults to know just what is going on inside their minds and bodies.
I enjoyed the course. I found very informative and useful information and suggestions that will assist me in my teaching profession. Sonya has an effective and often humorous way of presenting her research. I highly recommend her as an instructor.
I enjoyed this course very much. I think it should be a prerequisite for all parents with children about to enter adolesence. Thank you!
I got some great information and plan to use all of it as I work with students, teachers, and parents this fall as a middle school counselor. This was my first on-line course and I would definitely take another one because it was a very good experience.
I have a young teenager at home. This course has been a tremendous help to me in learning to deal with her actions and reactions.
This class is so packed full of useful information. Anyone that works with adolescents really needs to take this class!
This course had lots of excellent information for parents and professionals who want a better understanding of pre-teens and teenagers. A lot of food for thought and very challenging!
This course helped to freshen up my knowledge on the subject of adolescent psychology. I found much of the information to be quite useful in dealing with my students at the junior high level as well as my 14-year-old daughter. Thanks.
This course was an excellent choice. The information was so interesting and useful, both professionally and personally. Thank you!
This was definitely one of the very most interesting and useful courses I have taken. It offers a tremendous amount of insight, especially for parents and others who teach/work with adolescents. In addition to providing information pertaining to all the important facets of adolescence, the instructor also ties this in with the impact of earlier life experiences, quality of parenting, family environment, etc. As a private educational tutor, I plan to utilize the understandings and knowledge I have gained to better meet the needs of my adolescent students.

Donald Glover Is a Ridiculously Hot Dork – The Daily Swoon
Donald Glover makes us laugh, and isn't that like, the jackpot of a cute guy? Too bad Hannah broke up with his character on this week's 'Girls,' huh?
You know Glover from 'Community,' which is finally coming back in two weeks! Ugh, and it's about time, right? But the adorably dorky actor also starred in two episodes of the current season of 'Girls' as Hannah's new boyfriend who turns out to be — dun dun dunnn — a Republican. Naturally, they broke up. We're really sad about it.
Here's something you may not have known: Glover wrote for '30 Rock,' another one of our favorite shows, and if he's up to Tina Fey's standards, then you know he's amazingly talented.
In addition to writing and acting, Glover has a rapper alter-ego named Childish Gambino, and if you haven't checked out his music yet, you really should. It's witty and delightful and totally infectious.
But here's the thing — I didn't know about the situation under Donald Glover's shirt. When I came across photos of him performing as Childish Gambino sans-shirt, I gasped and yelled "WHAT" at my computer. I felt as though I'd been lied to. Omission is the same as lying, and just how long has the world been keeping this from me?! It's just … beautiful.

9 Tips to Help Redesign Your Company Facebook Page
Turn on the new Page formatSet your Page's category and subcategoryCheck your e-mail notification settings for fan commentsSet your wall preference: Fans too or just you?Want to occasionally post as yourself on Pages you admin?Set your moderation and profanity blocklistsCheck out your Page's tabsPick your "Featured Likes"Want some credit? Add "Featured Page Owners"
Whether you chose to click the "Upgrade" button or not, the new layout is opt-in and permanent as of March 10.
This is where it gets good. Unlike before, where once you selected a category it could never be changed, now you have options. You can select a category and a subcategory, which will change the kind of information that is included on your page description.
How: Click "Edit Page," then "Basic Information" to select your category and subcategory.
Getting e-mails notifying you when fans comment on your page is encouraging, but when you've got thousands, or even millions, of fans it can get overwhelming. Stop the clutter in your inbox by changing the default setting to "off."
How: Click "Edit Page," then "Your Settings." Follow that link, then click "Change email settings for individual Pages."
This is up to you. The upgrade seems to have defaulted the wall preference back to "Everyone." If you don't want just anyone posting on your front page, welcoming spam and posts with typos, then now's the time to get that under control.
How: Click the "Manage Permissions" tab, then select the option for "Posts by Page Only."
Now you can post comments as you or as your brand. Thanks to the upgrade you can have a more intimate relationship with your audience by allowing them to see posts directly from you.
How: Click "Edit Page," then "Your Settings." Then you can click "Always comment and post on your page as (PAGE NAME) even when using Facebook as (YOUR NAME).
Okay, this feature came out right before the upgrade, but it's still cool. Now you can filter how much profanity is allowed on your page. The options, "None," "Medium" and "Strong," are built from a list of words collected by Facebook. You can also create your own list of words you don't want mentioned on your page. The sky is the limit.
How: Click "Edit Page," then under the "Manage Permissions" tab make your changes.
We're sure you've noticed the page tabs have moved from the top to the left side of the page. Unfortunately, there's no way to change the icon image. The bright side is you now have more room to give detailed names to your page apps.
How: Click "Edit Page," then "Apps," then "Go to App."
Your "Featured Pages" are now "Featured Likes." This little gallery showcases other pages that your page "Likes." This minimizes the clutter on your news feed every time you choose to "Like" a page.
This could be a really good thing—depending on how you look at it. Adding the "Featured Page Owners" option lets you create a public list of admins. This could be a good way for them to increase their Facebook connections.

5-year-old born with a rare disease will be sheriff's 'Chief for a Day'
Ian Terry / The Herald
Sarah Kraft, 5, plays in the back yard of her home in Marysville on Aug. 8.
Ian Terry / The Herald
Sarah Kraft, 5, plays under a striped umbrella in the back yard of her home in Marysville on Aug. 7. Craft was diagnosed with biliary atresia, a rare liver disease, when she was an infant and underwent a liver transplant at 7 months old.
Ian Terry / The Herald
Sarah Kraft, 5, is chased by her brother, Caleb, 10, in the back yard of their home in Marysville on Aug. 7.
Patty Kraft shares a laugh with her daughter. Patty must take special precautions with Sarah because of her condition.
The seven-inch scar from the surgeries crosses her small abdomen.
Sarah, 5, is the youngest of Patty and Kirk Kraft's four children. She was born with a rare liver disease and received a transplant as an infant.
This year, Sarah is the Snohomish County sheriff's "Chief for a Day."
For the Aug. 21 event, police sponsor a local child who has a chronic disease or terminal illness. They take the child for a day of fun at the state criminal justice training headquarters in Burien.
"Seeing the kids' faces on that day when they forget to think about all the troubles they're going though is an amazing thing," sheriff's deputy Jon Barnett said.
"Chief for a Day" is just one of many ways that friends and family have supported the Krafts throughout Sarah's health problems, Patty Kraft said.
Sarah was 9 weeks old when she was diagnosed with biliary atresia. Her failing liver swelled with poison instead of releasing it. The bile ducts didn't work right.
Her stomach was bloated and stretched. Her veins bulged.
That November, Sarah was in the hospital for 10 days. She underwent a Kasai procedure, which involved the rerouting of her small intestine.
About half of those with biliary atresia need a liver transplant by the age of 5, Patty Kraft said.
In March 2009, Sarah vomited blood. Patty Kraft and the baby were flown to Seattle Children's Hospital.
Patty Kraft remembers Sarah going limp in her arms and her baby's eyes rolling back.
"I'm a believer," Patty Kraft said. "I was like, 'OK, Lord, you are the king of kings. I'm just going to put this in your hands.' "
Sarah was kept in intensive care, and her name was added to the waiting list for transplant patients. The doctors told Sarah's parents that her body had punched out new routes for blood to travel through because her liver and spleen wouldn't cooperate.
The liver transplant that April took nine hours.
Within days of the surgery, baby Sarah could sit up and roll over.
The first year after the transplant held a lot of challenges, Patty Kraft said.
Sarah also spent much of this past spring in the hospital after another health scare.
Kirk Kraft works at Boeing. Patty Kraft works in the kitchen and lunchroom at Grace Academy in Marysville, which Sarah attends.
It's been a struggle to keep things normal for the family, with their schedule disrupted by hospital stays and doctor visits, Patty Kraft said.
They focus on family time and attend The Grove Church in Marysville. They make pancakes from scratch every Saturday.
Patty Kraft is looking forward to when Sarah's more recent surgery wound heals and the kids can take swimming classes together.
On a warm, sunny afternoon last week, Sarah and her sister, Katarina, 8, lounged in a patio chair in their north Marysville back yard.
They playfully swatted each other with pool noodles and twirled umbrellas on the porch.
When Sarah took a tumble and started to cry, Arianna, 12, crossed her eyes at her little sister to make her laugh again.
They threw apples from the backyard tree for their 71-pound German Shepherd mix, Blitz, to catch.
As Sarah grows up, she won't be able to play contact sports, and traveling abroad could be difficult, her parents said. Children with transplants are more vulnerable to lymphoma.
Otherwise, Sarah doesn't live with many medical restrictions.
The four kids all have a dramatic, expressive side, Kirk Kraft said. He likes to joke that he'll soon have a full-fledged theater troupe at home.
Caleb, 10, is the comic-philosopher-scientist. Arianna is the sensitive artist. Katarina is athletic and kind.
When Sarah is sick, her siblings stay with their grandparents or friends. Their grandparents take them bowling and treat them to "breakfast for dinner."
Sarah's parents aren't sure how much she understands about her disease. She will learn more as she ages.
For now, she remains the daredevil child, the silliest sibling, Kirk Kraft said. She is going through a meowing phase.
While her parents talked, Sarah hummed "Let It Go" from the animated movie "Frozen," which she's seen more than 50 times.
"She knows she's the baby," Patty Kraft said.

Enter With Caution
Please have a look and please come back here with comments, critique or questions. Along with Robert Socolow and Randy Olson we'll be engaging this roundtable discussion for the next month or so, with new pieces coming out every week.
17 comments:
My favorite phrase: "...[scientists] may find that rather than making politics more scientific, they have instead made science more political." That's almost inherently the case that science becomes more political anytime a scientist speaks during a political event. At that point, everything he or she says is assumed to be political, including the scientific statements.ReplyDelete
I would describe science as a faith in a reproducible order, which is necessarily constrained to a limited frame of reference.ReplyDelete
The distortion you refer to is not about science per se, but about competing interests employing leverage to increase their holdings of capital, elevate their status in society, and consolidate power over other human beings. This is not limited to politics and is a repeating phenomenon throughout our world.
By the way, it is not necessary to question evolution as a description of origin, by offering creationism as an alternative. There is neutral ground between atheism and religion.
We have access to a permanent set of limited, circumstantial evidence, without the ability to determine coexistence and continuity. Our best effort to explain the means by which our universe overcame entropy is that there is an underlying order which remains to be determined.
Well, that's my understanding of our current state of knowledge. Can you offer additional insight? Thanks.
If a scientist speaks out "on behalf of science", he is taking on the role of referee and calling a foul on an offending politician. However, the role of ref requires him to be fair and call the fouls both ways. If he chooses not to do so, he has forfeited any moral authority to play referee. He should be viewed as the partisan hack that he is and he deserves the loss of credibility and loss of respect that results when caught misusing his office for improper purposes.ReplyDelete
We've seen a lot of scientists in recent years forfeit their credibility because they've entered the public forum in the guise of being referees only to be exposed as partisans. Surprisingly, some of the partisan hacks still don't understand why they no longer enjoy the respect they once had as scientists.
The problem the scientific community has with politicos who express views they think are unscientific or anti-scientific is that they never bother to find out the nature of the underlying logic that leads to that view. They just write them off as fools. Which is fair enough since scientists are written off as fools by everyone else except, maybe, in their limited line of expertise.ReplyDelete
The Bureau of Atomic Scientists motivation for this dialogue: "Republican presidential candidate and Texas Gov. Rick Perry recently questioned the science of climate change in ways so unsupported by evidence that.... What is the proper scientific response to the political distortion -- or even outright rejection -- of science? In coming weeks, three Bulletin experts will offer authoritative and at times provocative analysis."ReplyDelete
Pielke --
"Scientists are not just ordinary citizens; they have specialized expertise." ~ They are SUPPOSED to have such expertise, but in fact they don't know what they are talking about.
"...because scientists are held in high regard within our society, they are more likely than the average citizen to have their voices amplified (if not treated with deference) by the media..." ~ No, obviously, it is the supposed consensus that is amplified by the media. Dissenting scientists are cast as cranks, on the basis of reasoning as flimsy as any real crank's that ever sullied the name of science.
"there are several pitfalls that scientists should be aware of when making a decision to speak out" --
"First, although scientists are not like every citizen, all citizens have the right to speak out. So if a scientist says that life on Earth evolved over billions of years, anyone else has the right to counter that view by expressing his or her belief in creationism" ~ And a scientist like me, independent of the consensus but with more knowledge, has the right to counter that both of those diametrically-opposed beliefs are in fact wrong, and that the public is not properly served by a war of equally false dogmas. But see above, about the treatment of dissenting scientists.
"Second, when scientists speak out publicly, they will quickly learn that it is not just candidates for office who have their views scrutinized" ~ In my opinion, your article then loses focus, with you giving examples of the selectivity--read bias--of scientists in recent years, rather than examples of scientists having their views scrutinized (in the public debate, not just in your view, of their selectivity, in this article)
"Scientists who take on politicians in the name of science risk being perceived as simply using science as a fig leaf of expertise to advance what ultimately are political preferences." ~ In my opinion, if the scientific truth supports a political preference, no one can complain; if the scientist puts out falsity as authoritative science (and this is the norm in recent years), then all hell should break loose upon him/her.
And Robert Socolow's piece, on the same web page, is simply arrogant and incompetent.
"Bill Clinton bombed a Middle East chemical factory based on supposed scientific proof that ultimately did not exist."ReplyDelete
The Al Shifa plant actual made pharmaceutical products, rather than "chemicals." It apparently mixed ingredients, then put the resulting products into individual packages. Apparently, the products included pharmaceuticals for both humans and animals.
Hi Roger,ReplyDelete
Woohoo! It worked! ;-)
Regarding the Al Shifa pharmaceutical plant, two definitive pieces on it were:
1) A report by ABC Medical Correspondent Dr. Timothy Johnson. Dr. Johnson personally conducted a complete tour of the facility, as I recall within 24-48 hours of the bombing. He found "blister packs" of medicines scattered on the floors, and hand-written order logs written in English. He noted that such records would be virtually impossible to fake.
2) Seymour Hersh wrote a piece in the October 12, 1998 New Yorker titled, "The Missiles of August."
Unfortunately, the Timothy Johnson report doesn't seem to be readily available, but here's a summary of the "Missiles of August" piece:
I think your piece has the right tone for this forum, Roger. Scientists need to be very careful to keep the public onside. They also need to be very careful to keep their own house in order. Robert Socolow suggested that "Anyone working anywhere can overturn a prior consensus. Safeguards against human frailty take the form of countless processes that protect decision-making from being compromised by friendship, rivalry, and financial interest."ReplyDelete
I think this is well and truly over-egging the pudding. The small number of outright scientific fraud cases that have reached the public eye are just the tip of the iceberg. I read recently that the number of scientific papers being withdrawn has doubled in the past year, and that in confidential surveys 1-2% of scientists admitted to fabricating or doctoring evidence.
Science should get its own house in order before trying to tell the rest of us what to do.
The problem is the tin-earred, culturally insular modern academic culture. For all the talk of logic, method and discipline, there is a broad inability to separate positions resulting from empirical, logical necessity from those that emerge solely from the aesthetic and ideological preferences of the nation's most politically monotonic environment (the campus).ReplyDelete
And for all the talk of inclusion and diversity, the hatred of Western religious traditions is overt and palpable.
Creationism (which I regard as more of a theological than empirical disaster) poses zero threat to the funding of any major university or research facility.
In contrast, unscientific green hostility to GM crops, medical research testing and nuclear anything has real economic and political consequences for science, scientists and public policy.
However, more ink and passion is spent in battles with the ghost of Bishop Wilberforce than against green idiocy. And that is irrefutable evidence that our scientific spokespersons are more likely to be interested in promoting a narrow, post-yuppie cultural and political aesthetic than in actual defense and advancement of scientific approaches to policy.
I have a problem with the word 'scientist' itself. There is little resemblance between great minds like Newton, Maxwell, Einstein, Bohm etc. and (for example) the small minds that some of the denizens of RealClimate appear to have.ReplyDelete
When the word 'scientist' is used, it conjures up decent honest individuals who are held to account by their peers in a genuine search for truth.
Not employees under the control of their employer which more often than not has a vested interest. Namely American and EU governments. The majority of CRU funding comes direct from the EU.
There are billions of dollars at stake in the global warming debate for the establishment / corporate side in carbon credits and carbon trading.
Climate 'scientists' are political by their very employment.
Socolow wrote: "Science is a process of searching, always incomplete. Its norms include strict evidentiary standards and transparency. Anyone working anywhere can overturn a prior consensus. Safeguards against human frailty take the form of countless processes that protect decision-making from being compromised by friendship, rivalry, and financial interest."ReplyDelete
Richard Horton, editor of the British medical journal The Lancet, has said that "The mistake, of course, is to have thought that peer review was any more than a crude means of discovering the acceptability — not the validity — of a new finding. Editors and scientists alike insist on the pivotal importance of peer review.
We portray peer review to the public as a quasi-sacred process that helps to make science our most objective truth teller. But we know that the system of peer review is biased, unjust, unaccountable, incomplete, easily fixed, often insulting, usually ignorant, occasionally foolish, and frequently wrong."
IMNSHO the problem is that many scientists are "political idiots", in the sense that they understand nothing of politics and like the average guy, treat it as a spectator sport: complaining when the other squad breaks the rules, uttering not a pip when their squad does just the same.ReplyDelete
Robert Socolow, in his comments, assumed the skeptics and Rick Perry were wrong. He assumed the case was closed and not to question the results. He clearly is one of many main stream scientists with a strong background that has not closely followed the level of disagreement and quality of many of the skeptics argument. His attitude is an example of the problem, not the solution, and if the skeptics are proved reasonable by a dropping temperature over the next 10 to 20 years, where will the confidence in scientists go?ReplyDelete
In response to Socolow..ReplyDelete
"Rejection. More threatening than the distortion of science, however, is its rejection. At issue is whether the scientific way of knowing is privileged relative to other ways of knowing that are rooted in myth."
I actually don't recognize the scientific enterprise I live with from his words.
First, in my world, there is no one "science." That is a reification. There are a variety of social, physical and biological disciplines, which can be brought to bear on any societal problem and, for any real world problem, are in competition with each other for claim to the framing of the issue such that their expertise is the solution.
In many cases, the counterpoint to "science" is not "myth" but rather real-world empirical observations, usually by various kinds of practitioners. This occurs in cases when scientific methods include modeling without independent empirical verification (asking Nature a question and not waiting around for an answer). People observing the natural world often have thoughts to share when model results turn out differently than observations. There is a practice of climate adaptation as well as an academic community, and clearly both should be able to give their opinions to policy-makers.
If science is, as he later states, "a process of searching, always incomplete," then we should encourage questions and debate- I think the public interest and blogging around the "science" makes for a better, and stronger scientific process.
Unless one's expectations of science are really that of a priesthood, and not a process.
I think it's a good and thoughtful piece. One thing I would add is the culture of science is different from that of political discourse, and this often disorients scientists when they step over to the dark side.ReplyDelete
Kudos on a good article.ReplyDelete
An article worth writing would be in counterpoint to your excellent article:
When scientists distort the political process.
As to Socolow and the reactionary meme that he is pushing, he is making of himself a sad caricature.

MANACOR, Spain (AP) — Rafael Nadal has begun training as part of his recovery from a left knee injury that has sidelined him since Wimbledon.
The Spaniard chose a hard court in his home town of Manacor to begin hitting tennis balls again, overseen by his uncle and coach Toni Nadal and a physiotherapist.
The 26-year-old Nadal says he plans to be fully fit in time for the Australian Open in January.
The fourth-ranked Nadal, who won the French Open, has not played a competitive match since losing to Czech player Lukas Rosol in the second round at Wimbledon nearly five months ago.

HOLLY SPRINGS- A 15-point third quarter by Oak Hill helped the Lady Raiders grab another victory Tuesday night, 45-32 over Marshall.
The game could have gone either way early on, both teams refusing to relinquish any big lead, but Oak Hill, (17-5) had a slight 12-10 advantage at the half.
The second quarter was more of same for the Lady Raiders, by halftime they led 22-19.
"We played good perimeter defense," head coach Stan Hughey said. "We had talked about can we duplicate what we did against Indianola. And we did better."
West Point knew ahead of time that the Oxford game would be huge, especially at home.
Fresh off a loss to New Hope, the visiting Chargers didn't want to get behind the eight ball early in district play and on Tuesday night, pulled out a tough road win over the Green Wave 58-42.
The Green Wave, (7-11, 1-1) already with a district victory over Saltillo, went toe-to-toe with the Chargers for three quarters. Down three with 2:57 left to play, Oxford closed out the third quarter on a 6-0 run to end it, and was able to carry over that momentum into the fourth.

Elizabeth Clark Ming
Elizabeth Clark Ming, age 88, passed away Monday, Jan. 9, 2012, at the North Mississippi Medical Center of West Point. Mary Elizabeth Clark Ming was born March 2, 1923, in Chickasaw County, to the late Jennie Bell Griffin and David Loyce Berry, She was a homemaker.
Graveside funeral services are Thursday, Jan. 12, 2012, at 10 a.m. in Memorial Garden Cemetery in West Point, with the Rev. Harold Robinson, officiating. Family and friends will gather at the funeral home for procession to the graveside. Calvert Funeral Home of West Point is in charge of arrangements.
Mary Davis Carothers
Mary Davis Carothers, age 101, passed away Monday Jan. 9, 2012, at her residence. She was born March 13, 1910, in Okolona to the late Mary Carpenter and James Davis. She was a retired school teacher and a member of First United Methodist Church. She was a lifetime member of Jr. Auxiliary and a director for teen town for several years.
PHEBA - What better way to bounce back from a poor shooting performance than to post a triple-double.
Tori Nichols did that. She scored a career-best 40-points including 12-blocks and 14-rebounds to help the Lady Eagles earn 60-37 win over Winston.
"It was a good defensive ball game," head coach William Cotton said. "I had talked to them about consistency and told them if they want to be a state champion, you have to play like you know you can. They answered that call."
Josephine Alesia Johnson
Josephine Alesia Johnson , age 87,passed away Sunday, Jan. 8, 2012, at West Point Community Living Center.

Pallbearers are Steven Johnson, Stephen Harpole, Will Harpole, Charlie Dichiara, Leonard Dichiara, Johnathan Edwards.
VARDAMAN - For the second consecutive game, Rico Robinson came off the bench to lead West Point in points with 17.
It just so happens the Green Wave won again 77-45 over North Pontotoc Saturday, giving them plenty of momentum heading into tonight's district battle with Oxford.
Using the same philosophy from Friday night's win over Caledonia which snapped a three-game losing skid, the Green Wave stayed true to being aggressive on defense with the press and forcing turnovers which in turn led to points.
GRENADA - Friday's loss to North Delta really gave the Oak Hill Raiders a bad attitude. So bad, they put up their best defensive performance of the season on Saturday in a 53-12 victory over Indianola.
"It was the best we defended all year," head coach Stan Hughey said. "We didn't defend very well Friday, we talked about that and we came out really intense on defense."
The Lady Raiders 16-5, led by Tori Ellis with 14 points, quickly grabbed a 15-6 lead in the first quarter. And by halftime, the girls had a 35-10 lead.
Louise Starks
Louise Starks, age 71, passed away Friday, Jan. 6, 2012, at North Mississippi Medical Center of West Point.
Funeral services are Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2012, at 11 a.m. from Johnson Creek M.B. Church of Pheba, with Pastor Bruce Guyton officiating.
Visitation is today, from 3 – 6 p.m. from Carter's Mortuary Services Chapel.
Carter's Mortuary Services is in charge of arrangements.

It dates to about 1923-1924. Each flask appears to hold about a liter of liquid oxygen. The flasks were needed to contain the extremely low temperature of the liquid oxygen which quickly evaporated when exposed to air. Goddard at first worked with solid propellants from 1915-1920, then switched to liquids in 1921 and continued to experiment with liquid propellant rockets until his death in 1945.
Mrs. Robert H. Goddard donated this object to the Smithsonian Institution in 1959 as part of a large collection of artifacts from her husband.
Gift of Mrs. Robert H. Goddard

Seventh-graders Camille Gonzalez and Sabrina Bavaro listened intently to the heart beat of "Ted E. Bear."
|LECOM Bradenton second-year osteopathic medical student Brian Peppers tests the reflexes of Nolan Middle School student Chloe Bergeron during a mini-medical school.
"Did you hear the heart beating?" said second-year LECOM Bradenton medical student Nicholas Kotch, who set up a heart and lung simulator at a mini medical school at Nolan Middle School in Bradenton. "Just by listening through this stethoscope, we can determine if there are any problems."
Kotch and his fellow students presented mini-medical schools to seventh and eighth-graders at Nolan and Braden River middle schools.
The mini medical school program teaches students about the importance of preventive medicine.
The students were impressed as they made their way around seven health stations.
Case Newsom and Ryan Bierkortte spoke about preventing brain injuries. The first-year medical students noted the traumatic brain injury death of actress Natasha Richardson, who died in a recent skiing accident.
"Any time you have any trauma to the head, no matter how slight, you need to see a doctor," Newsom said. "Make sure you are wearing a helmet when participating in activities like biking, skateboarding or skiing."
Second-year medical students Melissa Rossman and Alessandra Dominguez spoke to students about international medicine.
Other health stations included: healthy eating habits, sports & fitness, medical careers in the military and stress management.

KINSTON — It's not everyday an 18-year-old can leave both standout sport and academic careers pleated in the school hallways before turning a new leaf — or, putt, in the case of New Bern's Jack Sides.
He followed in the footsteps of his best friend and began golfing at 12-years-old, joining the
Among other accomplishments and successful performances, Sides tops off this part of his journey with a perfect 5.0 GPA.
"Grades come first," said Sides. "My parents make me get good grades or I don't get to play golf."
He admires the sport challenges its players.
"I love playing it," he said. "It's not just something you can just go out and do. You have to keep working at it and be persistent."
Sides says when he gets to college, he will work on mastering his short game — which he also considers his strength in golf. He feels he'll have more time on the course because the one he uses to practice now is about 30 minutes away in his hometown of
"I always see the difference between the tour pros and the amateurs is the short game," Sides said. "I'll practice more in college since I'll have more free time, and I'll be closer to a golf course."
He said he received several scholarship offers, but chose
Additionally, Sides appreciates first-year Panthers men's golf coach Greg Flesher knowing the golf swing because of his involvement with a
"The coach is really nice," Sides said. "I know he's building up his team since this is his first year. I'm going to just go in with an open mind."
As a Parrott student since kindergarten, Sides is deeply rooted in the school's culture and camaraderie. Passing freshmen greeted him as he sat in an
"When I was little, I always looked up to the seniors," he said. "Now that I'm a senior, it's different and they look up to me. It's really cool."
As far as his teammates, Sides has kept contact with older players who advanced to the collegiate level. He was a part of the state championship team last year and has shared many memorable times with the current team.
"I'm going to miss hanging out with all the guys," Sides said. "We've all grown so close together."
Sides won't be but a short drive away from home when he starts at
"Enjoy it while they can."

Name: Jack Sides
Age: 18
