When Daily News readers picked up the paper on Oct. 18, 1988, the Dodgers were halfway to winning the World Series but well aware of the fragility of the momentum created by Kirk Gibson's Game 1 home run and Orel Hershiser's Game 2 brilliance. Lucky for them — and for readers — the Dodgers had veteran players who'd been on both sides of World Series leads. Their thoughts were the topic of Matt McHale's story from the off-day before Game 3 in Oakland.
Up 2-0, Dodgers will try to maintain momentum
By Matt McHale
Staff Writer
OAKLAND — On the subject of World Series momentum, Bill Russell defers to the fates.
It's not that he isn't qualified. Russell, now a Dodger coach, was the starting shortstop the last four times the club got this far. In 1978, the Dodgers led the New York Yankees, 2-0, and lost in six. In 1981, they trailed the Yankees, 2-0, and won in six.
"That tells me we just have to sit and wait," Russell said Monday during a workout for tonight's Game 3 of the 85th World Series. "Maybe we were a little intimidated playing the Yankees with Reggie's homers and Nettles making all those great defensive plays.
"But why didn't that happen in '81? They were basically the same teams. I don't think you want to draw parallels with this series and those. What I do know is this team isn't cocky about its advantage. They are smarter than that."
Reserve catcher Rick Dempsey said the opposite was true when his Baltimore Orioles took a 3-1 lead in the 1979 Series against Pittsburgh.
"They were the favorite and when we jumped ahead, we just got over confident," he said. "We were sure so it was over."
But the Pirates kept their famed "Familee" intact and won the last three games to take the Series in seven — as they had done to the Orioles in 1971.
"They blew us out the rest of the way," Dempsey said. "I remember we were all just trying to hold on. When we went up 3-1 on the Phillies in '83, the team was obsessed with not letting down. All we talked about was 1979 and the one that got away."
The Dodgers' 2-0 lead over the favored Oakland Athletics is improbable to most, but should not suggest an end to the series.
Of the 16 clubs that have taken 2-0 leads since 1933, just seven have gone on to win the Series. The home team also has won a record 12 consecutive Series games, dating back to Game 5 in 1986 between the New York Mets and Boston Red Sox.
But the stats also give the Dodgers the pitching advantage in Game 3 despite the unlikely appearance of Kirk Gibson, who said the sprained right knee that sidelined him Sunday has gotten worse.
The A's were only 24-25 against the left-handers, though, and will face lefty John Tudor, who won two games for St. Louis in the 1985 Series.
The Dodgers remember it well. They took a 2-0 lead over St. Louis in the National League Championship Series, but lost in seven games. The Cardinals won the first two Series games at home but were beaten by Kansas City in seven.
The Dodgers may have an advantage in facing former teammate Bob Welch, who pitched poorly in his last eight regular-season starts and was shelled by Boston in the playoffs. Welch is notoriously bad in the postseason with an 0-1 record and 10.39 ERA in four Series appearances and a 1-2 mark and 7.71 ERA in the playoffs.
But if stats mattered, the Dodgers wouldn't even be here.
Tudor suffered muscle spasms in his right hip on the last Friday of the regular season. Tudor started Game 5 of the playoffs, but lasted just five innings. He is healthy, but there is a chance his sharpness will be effected by the layoff.
"I don't think that throwing with (pitching coach) Ron Perranoski in the on-deck circle is a game situation," Tudor said. "I've just been throwing on the side. I don't know what is going to happen. If I could look into a crystal ball and see I was going to get hammered, then I'd just be sick tomorrow. It's disheartening to pitch with 15 and nine days off, but I'm expected to do the job. I'm not in any kind of rhythm now. I hope I find it real quick."
Tudor pitched four seasons with the Boston Red Sox, so he knows this park. The Dodgers are hoping his off-speed pitches will help neutralize the A's right-handed power.
"If I had my druthers, I'd rather face Roger Clemens," A's center fielder Dave Henderson said. "Those kinds of pitchers are hard to hit because they have a good change up and good control."
But the Dodgers chances weren't improved when Gibson barely survived batting practice at the end of the workout. Since the designated hitter is used in American League parks during the Series, the Dodgers hoped they could use Gibson. Now, they are looking at Mike Davis.
"I think it's pretty obvious what my role is going to be," Gibson said. "I can't run. How am I going to DH?"
Despite their disadvantage in the Series, A's manager Tony La Russa made Monday's workout optional. Nine players showed.
"I think he felt confident," catcher Terry Steinbach said. "Everybody knows how to get ready. Some stay home with their families, some workout. I don't think you can go out with five games to go and change things."
LaRussa still was not set on tonight's starting lineup. Dave Parker was expected to be rested against the left-handed Tudor. But his three hits Sunday night against Orel Hershiser represented the sum of the A's offense.
"He has been an inspired player the last two games," La Russa said.
The A's also could use Stan Javier and Tony Phillips in left. They also must decide whether to use Steinbach or Ron Hassey behind the plate. Either Steinbach or Don Baylor will fill the DH role.
"I know they're confident," Russell said of the A's. "There have been a lot teams that went up 2-0 and died. I've been on a few. But I think even with Kirk out, the emotional edge will favor the Dodgers. The A's don't have have a Kirk Gibson in their lineup. Of course nobody does now. Only the games will tell how much he's missed."

I'm being deployed. How do I tell my child?
- Deb
Parents who are being deployed walk a fine line. They know they have to prepare their children for the challenges ahead, yet they don't want to worry them any more than necessary.
The best thing to do is to tell kids the truth — that Mom or Dad has to go away to do their job for our country — and to give explanations at a level they can understand. For example, young children have a limited concept of time, so their worries tend to focus on their daily routine (Who will take me to school in the morning? Who will tuck me in at night?). They need to know who'll be caring for them and keeping them safe in your absence.
Older kids, on the other hand, might have more concerns about the length of the separation and your well being. Reassure them as best you can that you are well trained to do your job and that every effort will be made to keep you safe.
Let children know it's OK to miss you — you'll be missing them, too. Talk about the ways you will keep your relationship strong — email, letters, photos, videos, even promising to think of each other at the same time every day. And finally, be sure to spend plenty of one-on-one time with your child in the days and weeks before your departure. These are the memories your child will hold on to until you return.

It's Elvis's birthday, too, judging from the plastic bust that appeared in the middle of the newsroom today. But I digress.
With the presidential election behind us, efforts to reauthorize and re-shape the landmark education law might start up again in earnest.
Many of you have watched public education transform because of NCLB. What's different, and what has stayed the same? What in the act, if anything, would you keep in place, and what would you pitch?
If nothing else, hasn't NCLB focused more attention on children who have historically been failed by the system? I guess the real question is whether that attention has helped those kids and the schools they attend, and how progress should be measured.

Permanent Link: Kofi Annan's address at the Truman Presidential Museum and Library
From UN Pulse 11th December 2006:
Kofi Annan, made his last major speech today at the Truman Presidential Museum and Library in
- We are all responsible for each other's security.
- We can and must give everyone the chance to benefit from global prosperity.
- Both security and prosperity depend on human rights and the rule of law.
- States must be accountable to each other, and to a broad range of non-state actors, in their international conduct.
- States must work together through a multilateral system.
These lessons could be summed up as five principles, essential for the future conduct of international relations: collective responsibility, global solidarity, the rule of law, mutual accountability, and multilateralism. He closed by stating that Americans had done much in the last century to build an effective multilateral system with the UN at its heart; the system still cried out for far-sighted American leadership in the Truman tradition which he hoped and prayed American leaders of today, and tomorrow, would provide.

I've had my USB socket from Burnsmoto for a couple of months now so I wanted to put up a mini-review.
First off Burnsmoto was great to deal with and gave a free shipping discount for ADVrider's. It arrived in 2 days.
I've ridden with mine both closed and with the USB plugged in in the rain without any problems. It charges my Galaxy Nexus as fast as a wall charger and faster than my car. The socket is compact enough to stay out of the way. I wired it straight to my battery, routing the wire with the loom.
I couldn't decide where to mount mine so I ziptied it to my left bar for now. Next is a Ram Finger mount.
I am very pleased with it and recommend Burnsmoto.

What is on a CIO's mind?
by Hu Yoshida on May 4, 2006
I recently attended an interesting CIO Panel at the Churchill Club in San Francisco. It was a Blue Ribbon panel with CIOs from Bechtel Group – Thor Geir Ramleth, Intel – John Johnson, McKesson – Randall Spratt, and Yahoo – Lars Rabbe. The Moderator was Dave Margulius and the title of the panel was Building the New IT. Attached are some of the insights that the panelists provided.
Major Changes for IT in 2006
IT is shifting out of the utility role toward a business perspective. It is a service oriented business aligned with the business units, making the workflow more efficient. This means a business focused approach to IT and less around technology. Technology matters but the application of technology to business is what really matters. For Johnson, Spratt, and Rabbe, this meant more focus on the consumer space. Ramleth said that applications must be more intuitive. "You don't need a manual to use Yahoo, but you do need a manual to use SAP."
It Budgets for 2006
Not surprising, most budgets were flat. Yahoo was the only one who had an increase in budget since it is a growth company. Mr Spratt said that instead of asking IT about budgets, which is the measurement for cost centers, IT should be asked about Rev/Profit like a business unit. IT is being measured on unit cost which can be tied to profit. IT must be rationalized with revenue.
Intel looks to outsourcing as an option. All the others felt they could find better costs inside rather than outside.
Product involvement
IT is getting pulled into the product planning cycle doing more proof of concepts. IT brings the relevance of support, usability and maintainability to the Product. The cobbler's kids are being asked to try on the shoes first.
Vendor Management
Spratt said that the biggest problem is "ankle biting" where the vendors go directly to the individual business units and establish themselves as ad hoc solutions that need to be rationalized with IT at some later date. Rather than build fences against vendors, companies like McKesson are opening up their strategic planning to the vendors. Invite the vendors in and give them the strategic vision so that they can align with corporate IT, and market from the top rather than low level penetration.
Consolidation and Vendor Lock in
All these companies agreed that consolidation was important to be more cost effective and agile. They were not concerned with vendor lock in. Rabbe felt that the bigger footprint a vendor had, the more leverage the CIO had with the vendor, making it easier to manage them.
Software Licensing
While consolidation was a benefit, vendors need to make their licensing easier and more adaptive to changing business needs.
Was a key interest for everyone, as a way to increase utilization, and provide more flexibility and agility. Virtualization of the infrastructure helps to drive down costs. The next step in virtualization is virtualized environments. Where you can swap out a compliance environment for instance and then bring it back later when it is needed.
Was not mentioned during the panel but was brought up in the Q&A. The response was that security is table stakes, but not singled out as a high priority.
These are just some of the thoughts that I captured. Do you agree with the panel?
Is the role of IT changing?
Should vendor lock in be a concern?
Would your company share their IT vision with vendors to get better alignment from them?
Is virtualization a key enabler for the new IT?
Please send me your thoughts.

Here are a couple of comments, tied to the different headings:
"Major Changes for IT in 2006″
I like the comment "Technology matters but the application of technology to business is what really matters." One challenge will be to know how much is being spent on technology in support of the company's different business initiatives. How many IT departments can trace IT spending to the company's strategic business objectives?
"It Budgets for 2006″
If IT budgets are flat and at the same time general business conditions improve, will this cause an upward pressure on IT salaries, increased IT job hopping, or both?
One question is, "Outsourcing of what?" Development? Application or Infrastructure Support? Will there be a lessening of dependence on proprietary applications and an increase in dependence of remotely sourced applications?
"Product involvement"
This assumes availability of IT staff who are (a) attuned to and trusted by the business and (b) who are able to move rapidly without overpowering bureacracy or justification hoops. Are IT departments set up to do this?
"Vendor Management"
You call this "ankle biting." Vendors call this "standard sales method applied to selling to the real decisionmakers." Businesses have to see an advantage of involving IT if only to help businesses avoid the problems that IT understands all too well.
"Consolidation and Vendor Lock in"
I don't know about this one. What I've seen in cases of single large vendors is that the single large vendor ends up driving the dependent customer's business strategy. I'd be wary.
"Software Licensing"
One question here is — has everyone reviewed their current application portfolio to see if they are paying for unused licenses or overlapping licenses bought by different subsidiaries that might be consolidated?
Very cool ideas, but will old fashioned software licensing agreements going to cause problems with implementing on the fly virtual environments?
I think of security more in process terms than in technology terms, so the extent to which IT departments can support process changes (like, keeping laptops from walking out the door) the better.
David Merrill on 05 May 2006 at 1:41 pm
Check on a recent blog notice http://blogs.hds.com/david/2006/04/storage_economi.html where Gartner and CIO magazine have differing opinions on storage spending in 2006. The bottom line is that end-users have to determine the best ROA or ROI of any new IT investment. Spending may be flat, down or up, but the IT department can do more to improve the returns on these IT investments.
Hubert Yoshida on 08 May 2006 at 10:06 am
Thanks for your comments.
More of our customers are inviting their vendors in to give them guidance on their strategic IT initiatives. Some will invite all their vendors in at the same time and hold different breakout sessions for network, Storage, and applications. As a vendor we find that very helpful to align with our customers. Our CIO, Frans van Rijn, holds similar sessions with his vendors. Not only does it help to build better alignment, it provides transparancy in the procurement process.
Frans van Rijn on 08 May 2006 at 10:31 am
"Is the role of IT changing?"
I most certainly see a change over the years. Obviously the increased focus on compliance issues, data privacy and information security forces IT organization to be more internally focused than they really care for. It takes budget and resources away from initiatives that are more strategically aligned with the business. More importantly though is the recognition that IT systems actually touch the external customer. Where in the past there were Sales people and delivery people in between our company and the customer to make up for any deficiency we have in the back office, today and even more so in the future our systematic solutions interact directly with our customers. So as one of the panelists related to, you can no longer deploy systems that require extensive training and are awkward to use. They should be intuitive and fun to use, which changes the design criteria. It also changes the sequence in the way you introduce new applications in a company. Where in the past the business would change and IT would catch up, in the future both IT systems and infra-structure have to be in place before the business changes. We have to develop the ability to be agile and flexible in order to respond rapidly to ever-changing business needs. This takes a cultural change not only from the IT department but as much from the commercial side of the business.
"Should vendor lock in be a concern?"
To be realistic; you are always locked in to a vendor one way or the other. I would claim if you have multiple vendors for the same discipline you are locked into multiple vendors rather than just one. It is all about assessing the risk and having a contingency plan. So to answer the question directly it is a concern and it is an issue than can't be avoided therefore it needs to be managed carefully.
"Would your company share their IT vision with vendors to get better alignment from them?"
Being an internal IT services provider of a storage solution company our position is somewhat special. We of course deploy our own solutions and we provide feed-back to our product and solution development groups, so we are aligned at the storage solutions side of the house. We do share our IT vision with the other vendors because we know how important it is for them to understand the direction we are taking so they can prepare for it. This is true for Hardware as well as Software vendors.
"Is virtualization a key enabler for the new IT?"
Virtualization is absolutely key to the new IT in many different ways. The main challenge we have in IT is to drive cost down while improving the responsiveness to new and changing business needs. In our case this also means that we see an increased level of integration between all the applications we have deployed internally and with the applications of our business partners including our parent and sister companies. We have already seen the a very large portion of the implementation time of new systems and infra-structure is dedicated to regression testing. As you can imagine it is very expensive to have the server and storage infrastructure available at all times to facilitate that . Virtualization is the answer to this. It will not only reduce the cost by improving resource utilization, but will also simplify the environment and, in addition, create a great deal of flexibility.

The real news is one of the CIOs sees the consumer web app model taking hold in the Enterprise. Now don't sell Oracle short: this is one canary in a coal mine. It is the implications for IT infrastructures that interest me. To understand that you need to understand the dynamics between the BUs and IT.
The BU folks typically have a "some love, mostly hate" relationship with IT. Wherever they go they see what the competition's IT does that they can't. They discount the good in what their IT delivers and exaggerate the bad. They look at every online experience they have and compare it to what their IT group delivers. When the gap gets too great, they start buying their own technology to close it.
So what gaps are BU execs seeing today? How about the speed with with which numerous small companies are rolling out web-based applications that come out of nowhere and scoop up millions of users in months, sometimes even days.

Luanda — The Angola National Agency for Private Investment (ANIP) Tuesday in Luanda formalised the signing of six private investment projects in the fields of manufacturing industry, services and wholesale and retail commerce.
Of the overall projects estimated at Usd 163.9 million (One Usd is Akz 95,5), stress goes to that of production of steel in northern Bengo province, under a consortium involving Gesimet, SA which is a partner of Grupo Gema and a Spanish company.
According to Grupo Gema CEO, José Leitão, the Spanish party joined the Gesimet, SA society with 74 percent, Grupo Gema (23%), while three other parties represent individual entities.
José Leitão stated the accord will come into effect 30 days after the signing of the deal, with the consortium having a year-and-a-half period to start the implementation of the project.
Speaking at the end of the ceremony of formalisation of the deal, ANIP CEO, Maria Luísa Abrantes, stressed the fact that the accord involves Angolan and Foreign parties that are legally bound to invest in training of local personnel.
She said that in terms of the Private Investment Law, investors are obliged to gradually replace foreign manpower with local personnel.
Other companies that formalised accords with ANIP are Multilem (Design, Construção e Publicidade), Socifarma, Impulso Angola, Inovia - Electrónica de Angola and Mercoforma.
The approval of the projects that are expected to bring benefits to the provinces of Bengo, Luanda and Benguela, is part of the Government's strategy to stimulate the national production, reduce imports, diversify the economy and increase the country's productive
capacity and jobs.

Methodology for ESRL 2-Category, 2-Tier Seasonal Forecast Tool
The tropical SST forecasts are derived from 5 different sources, as described below. The atmospheric predictions are based on a statistical analysis relating each tropical SST forecast to atmospheric general circulation model (GCM) data of global precipitation and 500-mb height.
SST Predictions
We use the linear combination of the first 28 seasonal EOFs of tropical SST (explaining 98% of the seasonal SST variance within 20N-20S) as the predictor set that maximize the correlation with an identical 28 EOFs of the SST predictand. These structures are linearly combined to yield the forecast of the spatial distribution of total SST anomaly within 20N-20S. Predictions are made for lags of 1-season through lags of 4-seasons. A total of 12 sets of EOF bases have been calculated that correspond to each of the 12 overlapping seasons. The CCA model has been trained on the 1950-99 period using the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) SST data (Smith et al. 1996, JCLIM).(2) NCEP Operational SST forecast
NCEP's Climate Modeling Branch (CMB) SST forecast is based on a combination of damped persistance of initial tropical SSTs anomalies with the NCEP coupled model forecast (Ji et al. 1994, BAMS). For short leads, the SST forecast is largely damped persistance, and at longer leads it is strongly weighted to the coupled model prediction of tropical Pacific SST anomalies. These are effectively the SST anomalies used in the two-tierred climate prediction system at NCEP, whose predictions are available at http://www.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/research/cmb/atm_forecast/. The NCEP SST forecasts are kindly provided to us by Dr. A. Kumar.(3) IRI blended SST forecast.
The International Research Institute's (IRI) forecast of tropical SSTs combines the NCEP coupled model forecast for the tropical Pacific basin with statistical CCA predictions for the Indian ocean and tropical Atlantic basins. The CCA prediction in the Atlantic is provided by CPTEC of Brazil. These are the SST forecasts used in the IRI's two-tierred prediction system, available at http://iri.ldeo.columbia.edu/climate/forecast/. The SST forecasts are kindly provided by Dr. L. Goddard of the IRI forecast division.(4) ESRL Linear Inverse Model forecast
The SST anomaly pattern is forecast using the method of linear inverse modeling (LIM) as described in Penland and Magorian (1993, J Clim), and Penland and Matrosova (1998, J Clim). The method uses global tropical SST anomalies (30N-30S) as predictors. The LIM has been trained on COADS SST data for 1951-2000, retaining the leading 20 EOFs. The SST forecasts are kindly provided by Dr. C. Penland and L. Matrosova of ESRL.(5) NSIPP Model (NASA Goddard)
NSIPP runs its fully coupled global ocean-atmosphere-land model initialized with NSIPP analyzed ocean states to produce 12-month forecasts of the coupled system. The ocean assimilation/analyses are currently restricted to the tropical Pacific, so the main product from these forecasts, referred to here as Tier 1 forecasts, is tropical Pacific sea-surface temperature (SST) anomalies. The SST forecasts are kindly provided by Dr. M. Suarez of NASA.
Seasonal Atmospheric Predictions
A CCA model is constructed that relates the first 10 EOFs of tropical SSTs to a similar 10 EOF basis of an atmospheric predictand. The predictands are seasonal tropical precipitation anomalies (20N-20S), Pacific-North American seasonal precipitation anomalies (20N-70N, 120E-30W), and Pacific-North American seasonal 500-mb height (20N-70N, 120E-30W). Separate CCA models are constructed for each predictand, and 12 CCA models have been made, one for each of the 12 overlapping seasons. The models are for the zero-lag (simultaneous) relation of tropical SSTs with the predictand during a 1950-99 training period.
The predictand data are derived from atmospheric GCM simulations that have been run for 1950-99 and forced with the monthly varying global SSTs. Four different GCMs are included in the analysis:(1) NCEP MRF9
The NCEP climate model is T40, L18 and is described in Kumar et al. (1996, JCLIM). A 12 member ensemble has been performed for 1950-99. The data have been kindly provided by Dr. A. Kumar of NCEP's Climate Modeling Branch.(2) ECHAM3
The European Centre-Hamburg Model (ECHAM3) is T42, L18 and is described in Roeckner et al. (1992). A 10-member ensemble has been performed for 1950-99. The data have been kindly provided by Dr. L. Goddard of the IRI forecast division(3) CCM3
The National Centre for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Community Climate Model (CCM3) is T42, L18 and is described in Hack et al. (1998, JCLIM). A 12-member ensemble has been performed for 1950-99. The data have been kindly provided by Dr. J. Hurrell, Dr. M. Blackmon and J. Lee of NCAR's Climate and Global Dynamics Division.(4) GFDL-R30
This model of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) is R30, L18 and is described further in Broccoli and Manabe (1992, JCLIM). A 12-member ensemble has been performed for 1950-99. Four members used globally prescribed SST anomalies, 4 members used only tropical Pacific SSTs anomalies, and 4 members used tropical Pacific prescribed SST anomalies coupled to a 50-meter ocean mixed layer model in the remaining world oceans. The data were kindly provided by Dr. G. Lau and M. Nath of GFDL.(5) NSIPP
A single data set is constructed by combining the 4 GCM ensembles. The ensemble mean seasonal anomaly for each of the 4 GCMs is calculated, with anomalies computed relative to the respective model's 1950-99 climatology. Because these models possess different sensitivities to identical SST boundary forcing (e.g., Hoerling et al. 2001, JCLIM), we standardized the ensemble anomaly of each GCM by its own "external" variance, also calculated for the 1950-99 period. The external variance is simply the variance of the model's ensemble mean anomalies. These are then averaged across the 4 GCMs to yield a grand, standardized ensemble mean anomaly consisting of 46 realizations. Actual anomalies are recovered by multiplying the standardized anomaly of each season by the 4-model averaged external variance. The CCA model is trained on this grand GCM data set.
Making the predictions
The atmospheric prediction is made by first projecting the predicted tropical SST anomalies onto the 10 EOF SST basis set for 1950-99. The CCA model, based on zero-lag relations of this SST and the individual atmospheric predictands gotten from the GCM, is then used to predict seasonal precipitation anomalies and atmospheric circulation.
The fields of the forecast variables are in terms of standardized anomalies rather than the total anomaly itself. They are standardized by the total seasonal variability of the particular variable for each season as estimated from the 4 GCMs. The forecast so displayed allows for a meaningfull assessment of the strength of the expected SST forced signal relative to the total GCM seasonal variability, and thus provides a measure of signal-to-noise ratio at each grid point. The larger the standardized anomaly, the more likely it is that the GCM (or nature) would yield an anomaly of that sign.

Did The Heat Wave Influence Public Opinion On Climate Change? Yes.
19 Jul
A record heat wave, drought and catastrophic wildfires are accomplishing what climate scientists could not: convincing a wide swath of Americans that global temperatures are rising.
In the four months since March there has been a jump in U.S. citizens' belief that climate change is taking place, especially among independent voters and those in southern states such as Texas, which is now in its second year of record drought, according to nationwide polls by the University of Texas.
In a poll taken July 12-16, 70 percent of respondents said they think the climate is changing, compared with 65 percent in a similar poll in March. Those saying it's not taking place fell to 15 percent from 22 percent, according to data set to be released this week by the UT Energy Poll.
While the survey didn't ask about the causes of climate change, Sheril Kirshenbaum, the poll director, said "there is no debate" that man-made carbon emissions are warming the planet. "We need to get beyond arguing if it's occurring and start developing policies to adapt to extreme weather events and rising sea levels."
The jump in public opinion over the past four months took place in southern states, including drought-ravaged Texas, where it climbed 13 percentage points to 70 percent this month, according to the poll. Other areas of the country showed modest variations in levels of support.
The latest University of Texas poll also found a sharp divide between political parties, with 87 percent of Democrats saying climate change is taking place compared with 53 percent of Republicans. In March 45 percent of Republican respondents said climate change is happening.
Among independent voters, those saying temperatures are rising jumped to 72 percent in July from 60 percent in March.
Read the full article here and I'll have more on these new poll results soon.

HOW TO APPLYDr. Corinne Lengsfeld has obtained funding from the Daniels and Dorr Foundations for the summer of 2010 to train 8 high and middle school STEM teachers in an engineering program. Her desire is to connect with directors and managers of 4 institutions to recruit 2 teachers from each institution.
The teachers are required to commit 14 days in the summer (mid June likely) to this activity. Each will receive $2850 in stipend. In the past this training has been accepted by Denver and Douglas Counties as continuing education credit.
Each institution that sends 2 teachers will gain access to approximately $4,000 for purchasing equipment for their institution to implement all or portions of this program. The institution and teachers gain access to all the lecture and lab materials they are trained in.
Additionally, there will be DU graduate student teaching assistant support for the 2010-2011 year. The partner institutions will work with Dr. Lengsfeld to assess the impact of the program additions to their school and to individual student participants.
Video and additional information regarding the types of labs and experiences that the outcome of the training will produce can be found at http://www.du.edu/rsecs/summer_camp/
Please feel free to distribute this request to your colleagues at other Colorado institutions. Dr. Lengsfeld would like to finalize the institutional partners before May 1st.
Due to grant obligations, our goal is to work with a wide range of institutions but that there is a priority to help those that (1) serve minority or disadvantaged populations or (2) have programs that serve minority or disadvantaged populations.
Those interested should call or contact Dr. Lengsfeld at email@example.com to discuss options, opportunities etc.

If you've watched an ice hockey game, you know how much stamina it takes. In seconds, players fly from one end of the ice to the other. It's a series of sprints and battles with the opposing team, all in search of one little puck.
In other words, not a game you want to play with no fuel in your tank. U.S. Hockey Team member Angela Ruggiero knows that and pays close attention to what she eats, when she eats, and how much she eats.
Her four Olympic appearances have resulted in three medals: a bronze, two silvers, and a gold. She won her most recent silver medal in the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Before she left for those games, we talked to Angela and her performance nutritionist Megan Mangano. Mangano, who's also a registered dietitian, makes it easy (and tasty) for athletes to bring out their very best game-day performance. Even if you're not headed to the Olympics (yet), what you eat and drink can help make you faster, stronger, and less likely to run out of steam, Mangano said.
It all starts with taking extra special care of your body.
"I tell athletes to treat their bodies like their dream car." Mangano said. "You'd only put premium fuel in there and you'd never leave home without fuel in the tank."
Ruggiero already had a pretty healthy diet, but Mangano has encouraged her to eat an even wider variety of healthy foods. More variety means more varied nutrients. She also urges athletes to "eat three for three." That means athletes should eat frequent small meals and snacks that contain these three elements:
Before you say, "Hey, that's complicated!" Mangano points out that you can "eat three" with an apple and a small portion of peanuts or half a peanut butter sandwich on whole-grain bread.
And that type of snack is the perfect packable if you know you'll be staying after school for sports practice. You don't want to be all weary from a whole day of school and hungry because lunch was hours ago!
Let's hear what Ruggiero had to say about how healthy food helps her do her best on the ice:
Puffins cereal, non-fat cottage cheese with jelly, turkey on wheat bread.
A whole-grain bagel with peanut butter and banana, Lara Bars.
Chocolate milk, trail mix, fruit in a protein shake.
I love ice cream, but limit it to about a pint a month. I also love Coke, but moderation is key.
Yes, as an adult I have come to realize that you have to treat your body well if you want it to perform and function well for you. I try to only feed it healthy, non-processed foods as much as I can.
Timing is also important so I make sure I am feeding myself 5-6 times a day. I allow myself to eat what I want, but try to eat healthy the majority of the time so that I can not only feel great, but also play to the absolute best of my ability.
Make sure you're eating enough when you're hungry and drinking as much water as possible. Try to stay away from anything that is packaged and instead turn to whole foods such as fruits and veggies. Eat enough carbs and protein for your body weight.
Finally, moderation is key. You can indulge in just about anything, but try to stay on-track the majority of time so that your workouts are not wasted when you get to the lunch table.
Meg was an AMAZING nutritionist. I have significantly changed my intake of foods to help create more variety with foods that make me feel even better. I have found many alternatives in my diet that are providing me with a wider range of nutrients and vitamins. I think I was caught up in buying the same healthy foods and ignoring many others that would help me.
I eat more of a variety of whole grains and brown rice now, and have also increased my lean proteins. On game days, I stay away from filling up the big salad plate that I used to make for my pre-game meal and instead turn to carbs with a little protein so that I have energy throughout the entire game.
Meals are another chance to get "three for three." Here's a super salad that Mangano cooks up herself and recommends to her athlete clients:

Suspicious Activity May Be Linked to Burglary in Onalaska
Just before 1, today an Onalaska resident getting his mail noticed three suspicious people walking along the tree line near his home in the Oak Park addition. When the resident asked the three men what they were doing they ran toward a vehicle. The vehicle, a 1996 maroon Dodge Intrepid, had Kansas license plates 409 ECC.
The three men, two white and one black, may be linked to a forced entry burglary that occurred on Birch Street earlier today.
The Onalaska Police Department is telling residents to not approach these men and is asking that anyone seeing the vehicle to contact Dispatch. Anyone noticing suspicious activity in their neighborhood is advised to contact the Onalaska Police Department immediately.

There's also an extensive network of cycle paths throughout Edinburgh if you fancy a cheap and healthy way to get around.
To travel further afield, both Waverley Station and the main St Andrews Bus Station are a matter of minutes away, and you can reach Edinburgh International Airport, well-served by a regular bus link, in just half an hour.
On the doorstep
As well as being fantastically close to the University itself, and right in the heart of 'student land', you'll find a wealth of local amenities right on your doorstep at Wellgate House. Late night supermarkets, university sports facilities, the Commonwealth Swimming Pool, museums, galleries, theatres, cinemas and parks – you name it, it's within easy reach.
Endless entertainment
Edinburgh has an amazing nightlife – more diverse than many much larger cities – and the Cowgate and its immediate area are positively bursting at the seams with stylish bars, cafes, bistros, restaurants and nightclubs. Whatever your age or interest, you'll find something to suit your taste – and with the Student Union in close proximity, getting home easily – and safely – at the end of your night out couldn't be easier.

text: A new copyright (or copyright-related) treaty is a big deal. The Berne Convention came into force in 1886 and is still in effect. With its revisions, Berne remains the leading copyright treaty setting minimum international norms in copyright countries in the 146 member states adhering to it. Performers in audiovisual works now have a treaty of their own. On 26 June 2012, a Diplomatic Conference under the auspices of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) finalized a new treaty and negotiators from WIPO member states signed the Beijing Treaty on Audiovisual Performances (Beijing Treaty.) The treaty, adopted by the Diplomatic Conference on 24 June 2012, was named in recognition of the city, Beijing, that hosted the final round of negotiations from 20 – 26 June 2012. The treaty concluded over twelve years of negotiations under WIPO. Read entire article.

Niagara Falls by Church, study
I'm trying to work from this painting of Niagara Falls by Frederick Church; http://www.googleartproject.com/gall...4695/24912018/
I'm focusing right now on just the water. I'm looking at the foreground waterfall, close up. Trying to look at how he makes it. But I just can't. I can't even copy it.
It looks so real, but so random. It isn't structured at all. I can't break it down. This is why I hate doing observational studies. It isn't the idea of drawing and painting basic objects, which can be broken down into shapes. It is all the details that really make things look nice that I just can't get. So I've tried about 3 different approaches and haven't gotten anything remotely similar to his look. And I'm looking right at it! How could I not be able to copy what I am looking at? Is that even normal, or do I just have some visual deficiency?
I'm more of a beginner than anything else,
but I figure if I can't even put down what I see I'm not going to improve.
EDIT: Not to mention the color and lighting!

We need to see some of your work. How much of a beginner are you? If you are even a quick learning somewhat experienced beginner then this is a horrible place to start learning. Way too advance. Learning is a lot about choosing the right steps and the right pace.

But, why can't I see the details? Will my sight improve somehow? I mean, it is one thing to not be able to draw or paint something as a beginner, but the information in this case is right in front of my eyes, and I can't really see it somehow.
December 8th, 2012 #4
Natural forms like clouds, rocks, foliage, waves, etc, are much more a matter of understanding the texture and rhythms than accurately copying. After all, do you think Church was copying the actual spray? Of course not, such a thing was impossible in the days before high-speed photography, and just as inadvisable now. You can't copy it because you don't understand it, and you don't understand it becasue it's hard, and you're "more of a beginner more than anything else." So, back up and pick somethign more straightforward to work from for now.

OK, thanks everybody. Back to basic object studies I guess.
December 8th, 2012 #6
Have you ever looked at that painting in real life? I have; its in Edinburgh Scotland at the museum there. Its huge, 8.5 feet by 7 feet. The reason you can't copy it is the scale obscures the method. Look at his sketches, its much easier to see how he works and much easier to understand the process. Painting like him is another order of magnitude though.
December 8th, 2012 #7
As bcarman said, please start a sketchbook thread and post some of your work. You'll get much good advice from some very accomplished artists on this board, but they'll have to see your work first.
In the meantime, something that may be of use in learning to draw water is to draw glass objects (from direct observation, not reference photos).

Thanks guys.
Yeah, I'll probably start a sketchbook eventually.
I really don't feel comfortable with showing what I currently have.
I probably won't ever feel very comfortable showing some of the masters on here, but I'll try within the next couple months. Right now it is finals week and I will be busy studying other things. After that I should have more time.

Yeah...it's been said but this is not the place, or method to start. It's like you picked up a guitar and are trying to play Stairway to Heaven..."I can hear Jimmy's notes! I can hear him play! Why can't I play like him?". Anyway...just another way to look at it.
