Born in the city-state of Zürich on November 15, 1741, Johann Caspar Lavater rose from a background of relative prosperity to a position of international renown in the latter part of the eighteenth century. Though little known today, Lavater had become a household name across Europe when he died on January 2, 1801, as a result of injuries sustained fighting for Swiss nationalism against the Jacobins. An ordained minister in the Zwinglian Reformed Church, Lavater gained notoriety first as a polemicist, then through his widely read, though by no means unanimously endorsed, publications on physiognomy. Though Lavater's attempts to systematise this practice of reading character in the lineaments of the body, which he alternately …

As a dental surgeon, I am required to use disposable hypodermic needles to prevent the spread of infection between my patients. Questioning of farmers attending my surgery reveals that all of them are inoculating their cattle and other livestock with the same needle (changing it only when it is blunt). Nothing is more likely to spread the BSE agent laterally in infected herds than this most unhygienic practice, which involves blood to blood contact. Farmers give hundred of thousands of injections in the course of a year and seem to be unaware of the dangers.

About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)
The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services.

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, January 12, 8 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: The Super Pit (10,500) -- Denton, Texas. Television: None. Home Record: USA 3-3, UNT 4-4. Away Record: USA 5-2, UNT 0-6. Neutral Record: USA 0-2, UNT 2-1. Conference Record: USA 5-2, UNT 1-5. Series Record: South Alabama leads, 13-7.
GAME NOTES: Two of the top players in the Sun Belt Conference will go head-to- head when the South Alabama Jaguars and North Texas Mean Green collide for a league match at The Super Pit.
The Jaguars are coming off of a 91-89 double overtime victory at Louisiana that helped them improve to 5-2 in true road games, 8-7 overall, and 5-2 in Sun Belt action. Jeff Price is just five games into his tenure as South Alabama's interim coach since taking over for Ronnie Arrow after an abrupt retirement. The Jaguars are the type of team that prefers to go up and down as they average 71.6 points per game to their opposition's combined mark of 70.0 ppg.
North Texas has not been able to get on track this season after being tagged as one of the best in the conference prior to the season. The Mean Green suffered a 67-53 setback at Arkansas-Little Rock on Thursday to drop to 6-11 overall and just 1-5 in league games. Coach Tony Benford's first season at the helm has not been one to remember so far, as his team is being outscored by 1.6 points per game.
Although South Alabama owns a 13-7 lead in its all-time series versus North Texas, the Mean Green have come out of the last three encounters on top including a 78-73 overtime thriller on Jan. 5, 2012 in the most recent meeting.
Mychal Ammons put USA ahead for good in its double-overtime thriller versus Louisiana when he slammed the ball through the rim with 20 seconds remaining in the second overtime session. Ammons came off the bench to register a double-double of 10 points and 11 rebounds while Augustine Rubit filled up the stat sheet with 26 points, nine boards, and three blocks. Dre Conner and Antoine Allen both produced 19 points, the latter accounting for nine rebounds, in what was a collective effort. Rubit is one of the most consistent and talented players in the SBC once again. The 6-7, 230-pound junior forward is producing 19.7 points and 11.1 rebounds per outing after recording six consecutive double-doubles prior to the Louisiana tilt.
The Mean Green built a five-point edge on the scoreboard over the course of the first half versus the Trojans, but UALR came out hot in the second half, connecting on 60 percent of its field goal tries to bury UNT. UALR converted 17 North Texas turnovers into 25 points and outscored the Mean Green in the paint, 30-16. Alzee Williams and Tony Mitchell each finished with 13 points for the UNT. Mitchell received a handful of accolades prior to the season, including SBC Preseason Player of the Year and Preseason All-American honors, after electing to return to school over jumping to the NBA where he was a projected lottery pick. Although the sophomore forward is pacing the team with 14.6 points, 8.9 boards, and 2.5 blocks per outing, UNT is performing poorly as a unit.
The battle inside between the SBC's marquee forwards could provide an intense back-and-forth. Rubit has been the more productive of the two, but it will be interesting to see if he can fill it up with the athletic Mitchell attempting to lock him up.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: North Texas 73, South Alabama 71

By Army Sgt. 1st Class Tyrone C. Marshall Jr.American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 6, 2014 A combined airborne training operation is underway with U.S. forces and NATO partners Canada and Poland, a Pentagon spokesman announced today, calling it a further demonstration of a commitment to alliance security.
Army Col. Steven Warren discussed details of the operation with Pentagon reporters.
About 100 paratroopers from the U.S. Army's 173rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, along with 35 Canadian paratroopers, kicked off a four-day combined airborne training operation with the Polish army's 6th Airborne Brigade yesterday, Warren said.
The paratroopers linked up and loaded U.S. and Canadian aircraft at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, and dropped yesterday near Krakow, Poland, he added.
The colonel said they completed the airborne drop and moved to Zagan Training Area to conduct combined infantry training.
This exercise was initially planned between the 173rd's "Sky Soldiers" of 1st Squadron, 91st Cavalry Regiment, and the Polish 6th Airborne Brigade, he said.
The addition of Canadian paratroopers from Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, Warren noted, further demonstrates U.S. and Canadian commitment to NATO security.
"The training will [provide] the opportunity for airborne forces from three NATO nations to increase interoperability at the battalion level and below," he said.

Barrie v Terry
Barrie McDermott and Terry O'Connor go head-to-head with their Super League predictions...
Last Updated: 08/08/13 4:08pm
On the pitch Barrie McDermott and Terry O'Connor liked nothing better than tearing into the opposition.
They may have hung up their boots but that competitive streak still runs strong and we have found a way to channel their energies.
Each week they will preview the live televised Super League games and provide predictions for the rest of the action - and we'll keep track of who's called the most matches right. We will reward one point for a win and if they both have picked a winner then the one with the closest score will get an extra point!
Terry still has the lead after Round 23 but we are confident that Barrie can start making some inroads into that lead, after picking up two extra points last week!

Wigan Warriors v Huddersfield Giants
7.30pm, Thu, Sky Sports 3 HD
TERRY SAYS: This game will decide who lifts the League Leaders' Shield and all the big guns will be back for Wigan. Paul Anderson's men beat the Warriors 22-10 in February and also claimed a 20-16 victory over Shaun Wane's side at the DW last season. And this year, they have both led the way.
Whoever says props are thick have made a mistake because two of them expected these two to be leading the way from the start! And when I say two men have played props - Great Britain internationals as well - are part of the Sky Sports team on Friday night, who better to pick the big winners.
When you look at both sides, who would you hand-pick to play in your dream team? Shaun Lunt, Danny Brough, Eorl Crabtree, Luke Robinson, Logan Tomkins, Blake Green, Josh Charnley, Lee Mossop... you take your picks! Whichever way you go, what an immense talent in both camps and that is why they are at the top.
Wigan will be without Matty Smith, Man of Steel contender Sean O'Loughlin and Ben Flower, which are three big, big losses but Sam Tomkins, Pat Richards, Liam Farrell and Gil Dudson all return to Wane's 19-man squad, which is a welcome bonus.
TERRY'S PREDICTION: The loss of O'Loughlin makes me look at Huddersfield for this game, but it is a flip of a coin. My heart says Wigan but my head says Huddersfield. I'll go with my head, so Huddersfield by six.
BARRIE SAYS: Well, will it be a Danny Brough show again? Danny seems to have the magic touch about everything he does at the moment and the Giants need his spells to work at the home of the Warriors if they are going to come away with anything.
The Giants have individuals who perform to a high standard but if they clock off in defence or attempt an impossible pass, it could go one of two ways. But hey, that's why they are at the top of the league!
Wigan are stumbling to the top and will have to be better in defence if they are to have any chance of stopping the Giants and at the time of calling this one I don't know the team but they do need a full compliment out to make sure of the two points for a win, never mind the Shield. But even then, I think the Warriors will struggle with all that the Giants will throw at them.
BARRIE'S PREDICTION: Another close game and if Tomkins doesn't get over that illness and doesn't start, Wigan will lose control of the game in the last 20 minutes and Giants will win by six points, 32-26. But Tomkins is back in the squad so I am sticking my neck out and going for the reverse: Wigan 26-23!
Salford City Reds v Leeds Rhinos
TERRY SAYS: Salford played OK last week even if the 46-4 scoreline suggests Huddersfield humiliated them. If you miss six tackles, you could find yourself 36 points behind and let's face it, it was against high-flying Huddersfield.
Leeds travelled to London on an emotional day, after news broke that former coach Graham Murray had passed away. They will be missing former Salford favourite Joel Moon and Brett Delaney and that blow could be softened by the return of Danny McGuire in a few weeks. It was feared that Danny would be out all year.
This time of year is all about the countdowns: for some teams until the play-offs, others the end of the season! I'm sure there are good things on the horizon for both sides: Leeds this year and Salford next, with the side that Brian Noble is assembling with Mr Koucash's cash!
TERRY'S PREDICTION: It might well be different next season and with or without McGuire, it goes Leeds way. By 12.
BARRIE SAYS: Brian Noble introduced a host of new young players to the Super League last week in their 46-4 defeat at the hands of the Giants and I think it has the possibility for a similar score this week.
Rangi Chase and the Tigers have agreed terms for next season and he was rumoured to be going to Salford amongst a few other clubs, so the Reds supporters will have to wait a bit longer for something to cheer about!
The Rhinos are not far off clicking for the full 80 minutes but even without that, they will have enough.
BARRIE'S PREDICTION: I am expecting the Rhinos to win and to put down a heavy scoreline, winning more than comfortable, 46-10.
St Helens v London Broncos
TERRY SAYS: So that's three in a row for the Saints. Isn't it good to see a coach putting his players first before the result? Gareth O'Brien has taken two heavy knocks recently so Nathan Brown has stood him down. The confidence is building back at Langtree Park and that's a warning for everyone else.
London will be missing Luke Dorn and Michael Robertson from the back line in this game, so an opportunity will be given to a young starlet. The Broncos beat Saints earlier this year 21-14, they also tested Brown's men last season in Round One but eventually lost 24-34 and more worryingly, the last time they visited Langtree Park they conceded 30 points - and failed to score.
TERRY'S PREDICITION: I can see this game going the Saints' way. They have had to cop a lot of flack this year, but I'm sure that's made them stronger as a group. Saints by 18!
BARRIE SAYS: Jon Wilkins indicated the mood in the Saints camp last week when he said they expect to win the Grand Final from fifth place! And then the Saints went about demolishing the Dragons away from home as they put a marker down saying: "We are the team to beat.".
The Broncos are in a very bad place I'm afraid, they put in a good enough showing last week against the Rhinos but it was Leeds who took their foot off the pedal that allowed the London team to salvage a bit of pride. But don't expect that from St Helens!
All of that Saints team seem to complement each other, knowing exactly where they should be in support each other. The good people of St Helens haven't had too many to cheer in 2013 but Browny's boys will have a rare shindig here!
BARRIE'S PREDICTION: Another win for the Saints by 32 points, so I'm going to be ultra-accurate and pick 42-10!
Warrington Wolves v Wakefield Wildcats
TERRY SAYS: This game is not for the faint-hearted! Adrian Morley has come out and said that he wants to finish off with the League Leaders' Shield along with the Grand Final trophy silverware, which is firmly in the sights of the Wolves players!
They were behind last week for most of the game but didn't they show great character in the second half against Castleford? A big blow for them is the loss of Richie Myler though, definitely for this game anyway. Fingers crossed the England international hasn't damaged his knee ligaments again.
Wakefield played at the HJ Stadium last March in a pulsating game but eventually going down by 32-30. They are a more stable side, and probably better as well. Richard Agar had added to his team and he's also had a healthy side over the last few years, so he's also had the consistency on the pitch in key positions.
TERRY'S PREDICTION: A great battle in prospect and if I still played I'm not sure I'd like to play against this rugged Wakefield pack. The class and speed of Warrington in the end might just be the difference...by 16!
BARRIE SAYS: Tony Smith, the Wolves coach, is highly delighted with the way his charges have responded from being knocked out of the Challenge Cup, as they won by 10 at the Tigers last weekend.
Trinity are having a rough time of it lately but still remain a decent outfit but they will be disappointed again as they drop out of top eight contention because Warrington will inflict a high score on.
But whose players will be wondering who the club need to sell/not sign for next year as they try to balance their books?
BARRIE'S PREDICTION: I am going for a home win by 28 points.
Hull KR v Hull FC
2.00pm, Sun, Sky Sports 1 HD
TERRY SAYS: When you play your nearest and dearest you need to be playing well and both sides are. Hull FC thrashed Widnes, whilst I feel KR lost in controversial circumstances at Wigan last weekend. I also believe that form isn't everything going into these games. Look at Wigan a few weeks ago when they played Saints; everyone thought it was in the bag for the Warriors, apart from the Saints players!
When you mention this fixture I automatically think of the Magic Weekend when Green scored the winning try to break the KR fans hearts. What you will get from both sides is commitment. Lots of players on both sides who have played for the other team, so that extra bit of motivation.
You can ask everyone involved at both clubs and they'll tell you that the lads have trained exceptionally this week. They will also be apprehensive for what is to come. It's vital that your first touch in a big game is good one.
TERRY'S PREDICTION: Home advantage doesn't exactly count in these derbies but I'm going for KR at home by 8.
BARRIE SAYS: Will Hull FC suffer the wrath of the Rovers, who will be so, so angry at losing last week at Wigan because of another mistake by the video ref?
The Challenge Cup Final is getting nearer and the Hull players will be wanting to show their coach Peter Gentle that they are the one he has to pick so I don't expect any 'holding back' from them... especially because the game is the ONLY true derby!
The KR are playing exceptionally well despite losing against Wigan, while FC are improving every week. Hull FC really need to forget the cup final and secure their top eight place by beating the Robins and swapping league positions with the win... but I don't think they will!
BARRIE'S PREDICTION: It will be a full house and my game of the round at Craven Park to see the Red and Whites beat the Black and Whites by 10 points - 32-22.
Bradford Bulls v Catalan Dragons
TERRY SAYS: The Dragons have slipped to sixth in Super League after losing three of their last four games. They have Zeb Taia banned and I'd be shocked if Daryll Millard makes the side after leaving the field last week with a knee injury.
The Catalan chairman and coach have had a go at the game and the way they are treated. This comes around because Taia was banned. The ban was the correct decision in my opinion, although Taia didn't make contact with the head, it was a shoulder charge (banned, but does not automatically come with a suspension).
Zeb, in my opinion against, was banned because it was late. Trust me, if you want to pull out of a tackle you can in a split second. Barrie was one of the slowest players in Super League and even he could stop! Or could he? Or were his intentional?! I agree with the Catalan chairman Bernard Guasch we do have inconsistencies in certain decisions.
Bradford beat a very spirited Wakefield team at Belle Vue even with all the problems bubbling behind the scenes at the Bulls. I'm sure at home they will be fired up for this game and you would imagine a big turnout from the Bulls faithful.
TERRY'S PREDICTION: Even though Bradford's form over the last 10 fixtures has differed, they can beat Catalan if they play like last week. Bradford by 10.
BARRIE SAYS: The Dragons need another win to make sure of their top-eight place but then the Bulls need the two points to keep their own top-eight ambitions alive.
The Bulls secured a great win at the expense of the Wildcats last week away from home, where they showed good character to not panic in the last minutes and to play adventurous rugby - and they will need to repeat this formula again to beat the French team.
The Dragons look rudderless and are playing without direction, just going through the motions hoping the other team slip up... but the only slip up will be from Catalan as they try their best to withhold the flair of the Bulls.
BARRY'S PREDICTION: Bradford will win by 14 points, 30-16.
Widnes Vikings v Castleford Tigers
TERRY SAYS: The Widnes players let themselves down last week: when you concede over 70 points that's personal! I've never seen lads miss a tackle bag in training, but I'm sure Denis Betts will have identified individuals who didn't perform. The coach said after last week's performance that he was embarrassed by the performance. Will those comments be enough to rile the Vikings players, is that the kick up the backside they need?
Castleford are in great form at the minute. They have beat Wakefield, Wigan, Hull, Hull KR, and got close to Warrington and Huddersfield in the last two fixtures. In fact last week they lead at HT 24-12 v Warrington.
They did have the majority of possession in the first 40 and had all the momentum. If they can play with the same speed and intensity, this game will go to Castleford.
Widnes will want a response and at home, it could happen. But they will have to be good. They will want to win this game. And if they do they'll jump ahead of Widnes in the table on points difference.
TERRY'S PREDICTION: Without seeing the squads I'm going to go with Widnes as it's at home and because of the humiliation they suffered last week they will come out firing. My only concern is can they keep it up for the 80 minutes? Widnes by six points.
BARRIE SAYS: The Tigers are feeling good and the Vikings aren't - and that sums up how the game will go. The Vikings will be desperate to show their supporters and coach they are no 'easy beats' but I don't think it will be this week.
Rangi Chase will want to leave the Tigers at the end of the season with a top drawer performance in the rest of the league games and the Vikings defence will not have a clue how to stop him . But then again, who can?
It means a Tigers win but not an easy victory at all as the Widnes players cannot play as bad as they did last week in the drubbing at Hull.
BARRIE'S PREDICTION: It will be end to end with plenty of mistakes from both teams but an eight-point win for the West Ridings club: 28-20 to Castleford.

Critical Essay by Carol M. Sicherman
The linguistic lowpoint of Saul Bellow's brief novel Seize the Day—and one of its comic delights—is Dr. Tamkin's poem, deliciously entitled "Mechanism vs Functionalism: Ism vs Hism." The very paper on which Tamkin has typed his poem (it has "ruled borders in red ink") warns us to expect a student production, and Bellow exceeds expectation by delivering a classic non-poem by someone who thinks that rhyme and sing-song iambs, archaically decorated with inversions and the ungrammatical second-person singular, are the vital constituents of poetry.
In the poem, Tamkin, self-described as a "psychological poet,"… advises his audience: "Why-forth then dost thou tarry … Seek ye then that which art not there." Small wonder that Bellow's bewildered protagonist, Tommy Wilhelm, cannot get beyond his initial reaction: "What kind of mishmash, claptrap is this!" But Tommy...

Mass outbreak of illiteracy?
I just read The Chapter Five (in this book) and I'll go as far as to say the critics don't even have a point.
The chapter motivates geo-engineering without saying anything outlandish about the science (as far as this semi-informed lay-person can tell). There's not even as much as an implication in the whole chapter that global warming isn't a big deal. In fact, such a level-headed discussion of solutions to the problem actually bumped up my subjective probability of global warming being an issue to worry about. There's no use fretting over something we can't, practically, do anything about. It appears more likely to me, now, that we can do something about global warming.
The authors haven't given up on marginal analysis, they seem to get that people respond to incentives and they appear to be aware of Pigovian-type taxes. They explicitly address the problems with carbon pricing and move the discussion forward with their description of one alternative policy (i.e. subsidized research in bio-engineering).
The reaction to this chapter was just plain strange.
20 Responses to "Mass outbreak of illiteracy?"
Though you don't name the critics, is de long one of them? I don't see the criticisms as mainly about geoengineering, the criticism is about false or misleading claims about global warming and ways to deal with it. Is there anything wrong with the following suggestions?
I never said they denied global warming, as they don't deny global warming.
I said they made false and misleading claims about global warming. The criticism is not about framing, it's about false and misleading statements like those de long pointed out. Again, are there any parts of de long's revisions that you diasagree with? Many of these are the "outlandish statements about science" that people are criticizing.
I haven't read it, and haven't been too involved with this kerfluffle, but if it is true that I'm hearing that the chapter get Marty Weitzman's research backwards that is such a tell. Even a quick google search on the paper would have found it means the opposite of what they think it means, and that's among lay people. Among economists looking at the issue that paper is a key piece of argument, and if they get it backwards it's clear they didn't do their homework.
I'm not sure if you are making the more general point that even though the work is shoddy and misleading it still supports accepting GW as something to do something about, but that doesn't get any points with me. We are long since that point – you need to do your homework to contribute to the debate in such a public venue as a bestselling book.
How much do they think injecting sulfate aerosol precursors into the stratosphere is a magic bullet?
"The reaction to this chapter was just plain strange."
When people get so attached to a problem (and their solution) then even the tiniest dissent can seem very important. Also, the had the phrase "global cooling" on the cover, and I think that just set some people off — they hear that line and just go into "attack the neanderthals who don't believe in global warming" mode. Insert "judging book by its cover" joke here.
Krugman's on record as saying that the lawmakers that didn't support Waxman-Markey were "betraying the planet." If that's where you're coming from, it's easy to see how Levitt and Dubner are heretics who have to be exposed. However, here in reality, most people are able to see they are people on the same side who are just proposing 2 different solutions.
Probably because the attackers spend every day fighting against arguments like "This year is cooler than 1998, that disproves global warming," "Snowfall record in Denver today, this disproves global warming," "Climate models don't include heat contributions from the sun, therefore global warming is a liberal myth," etc. It's unfortunate that Levitt and Dubner got caught in the flak screen while attempting an intelligent argument.
I don't get the appeal of geoengineering among economists. Don't you guys live by the law of unintended consequences? Surely an ecology is at least somewhat as complex as a regional economy. When a lay person says "We should raise import taxes until the trade deficit is fixed," most economists would laugh them out of the room, yet proposals to hack the planetary albedo don't set off any alarms.
Weitzman confirmed in an email to the standup economist that he was not misrepresented:
Here, let's try this:
"Nor does atmospheric carbon dioxide necessarily warm the earth" false
"Yet [Ken Caldeira's] research tells him that carbon dioxide is not the right villain in this fight." false
"a most surprising environmental scourge: trees." really?
"A lot of things that people say would be a good thing probably aren't…. As an example he points to solar cells…" really?
These aren't framing issues, they're staments that are wrong (first two) or laughably wrong (second two).
Not to belabor the point, but you said the critics had no point, and I pointed out statements where criticism is clearly justifiable. It's not about me or de long being happy, but about misleading or false statements. I don't think bringing in skeptics justifies misleading or false statements.
Levitt promised a "We are working on a thorough response to these critics, which we hope to post on the blog in the next day or two." I'm still waiting for a response to the Union of Concerned Scientists' concerns, and honestly, I don't expect to see it ever.
I can certainly see the logic in the last two quotes that you mention, Will. As in economic policy, so many of these environmental "solutions" turn out to have unintended consequences, and these are some good examples of unintended side-effects. I'm a little more uncertain about the first two, though. As I understand it, the evidence indicates that in isolation, increasing carbon dioxide will warm the atmosphere. There is little dispute about this, and in fact even "skeptics" such as Dr. Richard Lindzen will acknowledge that a doubling of CO2 would warm the earth's surface temperature by 1C in the absence of any other processes.
I'm not entirely sure how much confidence to place in paleoclimate datasets, but I know that some scientists (probably many) have suggested that the changing levels of CO2 in past millenia helped to amplify warming and cooling patterns that begun as a result of slight changes in the earth's orbit, etc.
Thus, I suppose that it's stretching the limits to say "nor does carbon dioxide necessarily warm the earth." We don't quite know how the atmosphere will respond to the warming induced by extra CO2. It's possible that certain processes will dampen that warming, and in the end, the earth will not warm by much at all, but that is highly unlikely.
I don't really know enough about the methane problem to comment intelligently, but it seems that we exhaust so much CO2 from cars, electricity production, industrial processes, and so forth that it's hard to quite imagine how cows could measure up. Perhaps they do more than I realize, though.
Freaks:"Nor does atmospheric carbon dioxide necessarily warm the earth"
Will: "they didn't mean CO2 concentrations wouldn't heat up the earth." ???
The chapter isn't internally consistent, because they want to use discredited information from global warming deniers, like 1970s cooling, etc. while still believing in global warming
Just because carbon dioxide isn't the only villian doesn't mean it's not a villian. Besides, Calderia has since retracted that statement in an interview posted on his website. No serious climate researcher doesn't think CO2 is the main cause of global warming, i.e. the main villian. But yeah, cow farts.
Re: the trees, caldeira never said that trees were a "scourge." He said that plated in North America they might have a net warming effect according to some models. Scourge?
Solar panels aren't a "good thing"? The amount of carbon saved by the solar energy dwarfs the amount of sunlight absorbed by the solar panels themselves. From Myhrvold "It does not make solar cells bad in absolute terms." even when you consider the building costs.
I'm dissapointed with the right blogosphere that instead of saying that geoengineering is interesting and that Levitt and Dubner messed up on climate science, there's just rallying around the freaks. I really liked freakonomics too.
An excellent critique of Levitt and Dubner:
they hear that line and just go into "attack the neanderthals who don't believe in global warming" mode.
Can I just say, it's rather disingenuous to sell bazillions of books by proclaiming that "everything you know is wrong!!! Steve Levitt is a fearless challenger of the conventional wisdom" and then cry that careful readers would realize that the conventional wisdom is 99.9% correct and that critics are just being hysterical whiners who can't bear even the slightest challenge to orthodoxy without wanting to burn witches. I haven't read the chapter nor do I know jack about climate science, so I won't weight in on this current "controversy," but I have to say that this Freaknomics shtick has gotten very old for me.

CORALVILLE, Iowa, - A teenager has died following a crash on Interstate 80 in Johnson County.
It happened Sunday afternoon in Coralville near the Coral Ridge Avenue exit. Troopers on scene tell us a teenager was killed, but are not yet naming the victim. Our crew reports a pick-up truck pulling an animal trailer smashed into the back of the car. We are unsure - at this time - of any other injuries.
Troopers closed the left, westbound lane of traffic between exit 239 and 240 for several hours as they worked to cleanup after the crash.

RODALE NEWS, EMMAUS, PA—When I first started meditating 34 years ago, I was more than a little bit skeptical. How could sitting with your eyes closed for 20 minutes change your brain function, strengthen your immune system, increase your intelligence, and make you dramatically happier? I was wary of devoting 40 minutes (20 minutes twice a day) to practice a technique that was apparently developed by a little man from India in a white robe with a long beard and a strange laugh. So I read everything I could about the science behind transcendental meditation, and finally was convinced that it was a technique worth learning.
Thirty-four years later, meditation has transformed me, and it is in the process of transforming health care in America. Mind-body medicine has become an important dimension of health care as we have gained a greater understanding of the powerful effects of thoughts, emotions, and stress on physical health. Increasingly, mind-body stress reduction techniques, such as meditation, are used to help people cope with and reverse physical and emotional conditions ranging from high blood pressure and anxiety to chronic pain and depression. Meditation has been used for thousands of years in cultures around the world as a spiritual practice. Today, it is a powerful technique used by millions of Americans to improve their health and enhance their well-being. I encourage most of my clients to learn meditation. Those that do progress faster, develop greater calmness and mental clarity, and make positive changes in their lives more easily.
The two types of meditation that have been researched most extensively are transcendental meditation and mindfulness meditation. While the practices have slight differences, they both involve:
• Focusing attention on one thing, such as the breath, an image, or a word or sound, called a mantra
• Focusing attention on the present moment
• Cultivating a compassionate, nonjudgmental attitude
• Letting go of our usual preoccupation with daily problems, goals, and concerns.
Early research on the effects of transcendental meditation by R. Keith Wallace, PhD, in the 1960's showed that it lowers blood pressure, slows down brain waves, and leads to significant reductions in anxiety and stress-related illness.

Nkandla: Did Zuma steal? That's the question posed in the South Gauteng High Court two weeks after Public Protector Thuli Madonsela released her report on the upgrades to President Jacob Zuma's private Nkandla home. The ANC says the DA violated the Electoral Act by sending an SMS to 1.6 million people saying "Zuma stole your money". The DA says it's echoing what everyone really thinks.
"The Nkandla report shows how Zuma stole your money to build his R246m home. Vote DA on 7 May to beat corruption. Together for change." That's the SMS the DA sent to 1,593,683 people in Gauteng. The ANC, which has had issues with the DA's mass campaigning methods before, took the party to court on Wednesday, putting the Nkandla issue in front of a judge for the first time.
Madonsela's report found wide-ranging unlawful conduct, maladministration, and wasteful expenditure regarding the security upgrades while also finding that the Zuma family benefited from non-security related developments, which she suggested the president pay back a reasonable portion.
But did he "steal"?
In front of acting Judge Mike Hellens, who went to pains to establish whether the issue was being heard by the Electoral Court,...

Pittsburgh, PA. December 11, 2013 (PRWeb) (PRWEB) December 07, 2013
Malcovery®Security, the leader in delivering actionable intelligence that can be applied to neutralize email-based threats such as phishing, spam and malware, today announced that it has partnered with Concise Courses, a leader in delivering information security training, to deliver a free 60 minute continuing education class, entitled 'How To Catch a Phish: User Awareness and Training', designed specifically for CIO's, CTO's, CISO's and senior executives who work within the Financial Services, Healthcare, E-commerce and Government Agencies and are responsible for protecting their customers from phishing and malicious spam attacks.
After taking this 60 minute continuing education course, those that take the course will have:
"Security awareness and training is key part of winning the battle against email-based threats like phishing and malicious spam" said Greg Coticchia, President and CEO of Malcovery Security. "We are excited to bring this free course to security executives so they can aware of the latest issues and what actions they can take"
The free course can be found at http://www.concise-courses.com/learn/phishing/
Malcovery was launched in early 2013 as a result of an exclusive, worldwide license from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), and based on research in cyber forensics conducted at the Center for Information Assurance and Joint Forensics Research (CIA|JFR) at UAB, Malcovery has quickly gained commercial success with enterprise customers such as eBay, Facebook, IBM, Citi, LinkedIn, Assurant, Four Rivers Software and Visa.
Malcovery recently published both a white paper and Infographic entitled, "Closing the Window on Losses to Phishing" about its unique anti-phishing approach; they can be downloaded at http://info.malcovery.com/phishing-intelligence-process--malcovery-security
About Malcovery® Security
Malcovery Security is the leading provider of actionable cyber security intelligence and forensic analysis about email-based threats (phishing, spam and malware), delivered through software and services, that identifies, prioritizes and targets cybercriminal activities and provides effective countermeasures.
The company's patented and patent-pending technology provides the ability to identify the root sources of cybercrime attacks (servers, perpetrators, locations, etc.), delivering rich actionable intelligence information about cross-brand attacks and targeted attacks, as well as advanced notification of emerging email-based threats.
Unlike services that serve only as a reactive response to these attacks today—services that simply address the symptoms but cannot provide the intelligence to actually stop the cybercriminal and their activities—Malcovery Security's solutions provide the unique intelligence required to respond effectively to attacks on customers' brands, to disrupt email-based threats on an organization.

I consider you've created some genuinely exciting points. Not too most people would in reality consider about this the way you simply did. I'm really impressed that there's a lot about this topic that's been uncovered and you also did it so tremendously, with a lot class.

Stolen smart phones scream to be found

A new service called Mobile Manager, from Synchronica, can remotely make a Windows Mobile-based handset emit an "annoying and embarrassing high-pitched wail," so it can be found after it has been stolen or misplaced.
Screaming smart phone
produced by Mobile Manager.
Synchronica is a U.K.-based vendor of mobile-device management tools that aims to help victims of cell phone theft to strike back, according to a company statement sent Monday.
Thousands of mobile phones are stolen every month, according to Synchronica. If these are smart phones, they can contain sensitive information such as e-mail messages and computer files, potentially causing embarrassing data leaks.
Synchronica's mobile-phone management product can remotely lock and wipe data from Windows-based phones as soon as their owners report the loss. Companies can also turn on the "Synchronica Scream" feature.
"On average, it takes only 30 seconds for someone to notice that their phone is missing, compared to an hour for a wallet or purse," according to Synchronica. As a result, victims should be able to hear their phones scream out for them.
Devices don't have to be lost or stolen to expose sensitive data. Engineers at McLean, Va.-based Trust Digital, another mobile-security company, recently bought 10 smart phones on eBay and were able to recover 24,000 pages of data from nine of the gadgets, some of which were sold by employees of major corporations. The same kind of test is often done on used hard-disk drives.
"The salvaged data included everything from personal banking and tax information to corporate sales activity notes to even former corporate client records, product roadmaps, contact address books, computer passwords, and other private, competitive and highly damaging material," according to a Trust Digital e-mail sent Tuesday. The company plans to announce its findings on Wednesday.
Synchronica sells its Mobile Manager product to operators and businesses. The product works with Windows Mobile 2003, Pocket PC Phone Edition, and Windows Mobile 5. Support for Symbian is underway. Trust Digital's Mobile Edge product has similar features, though its Web site doesn't list a "scream" feature.

- Well this is good and bad
- Good to know about this. I was wondering whether or not to sell my smartphone with Windows Mobile 2003 on eBay, but was afraid that even if I manually erased all the emails/txt messages and stuff on it, that it wouldn't be entirely gone.
But it's bad because in the AP article on Trust Digital's site there is no mention of a solution to completely erase the contents. This sucks.
I've got a phone I can easily get $100 for, but I won't sell it if I can't securely erase the contents.

- Correct me if I am wrong....
- But if a business is using an Enterprise server from RIM (BlackBerry), the IT Dept can send a packet to wipe clean the device, which would eliminate the problem of stolen information on the device...I heard of one user who lost his device, and his IT Dept even customized a message on the screen with return information...

- OK, how stupid can we be?
Well, you get the idea.

- Pointless
- To find your phone, just call it. If someone steals it, then 30 seconds + 5 minutes to find a phone, call the carrier (after finding their number) and to activate the 'scream'. Unless the activation number is the cell number and it is an option under the menu, but most people don't seem to realize they can access their mailbox remotely.
Regardless, the scream/lock can be defeated by simply pulling the battery... When powered back on, the theif simply needs to make sure the phone never hears from the carrier again, which would require simply going to a dead zone.

- How about a phone that stars screaming the moment you start walking away from it. This way when you drop it or put it down for a moment, the second you start moving away from it, it'll start screaming, "Hey, moron, you're just going to leave me here?"

- Lately there has been a lot of buzz lately on the personal information that can be recovered from phones sold on eBay.
In Hong Kong, a high profile business man who lost his cellular phone with video of his movie star wife taking a shower. The taxi driver that found the phone apparently tried to blackmail him, and ended up posting the video on the 'net.
With camera phones all over the place and drafts of documents being sent between blackberries all the time, I'm sure everyone has something on their phone, blackberry, or wireless PDA that would best be kept personal.
A new product that is currently in beta, but looks like an outstanding tool, is the Mbience Security Suite (http://www.mbiencegroup.com/).
It offers syncronisation (S-Sync), encryption, and most importantly, the ability to destroy remotely the contents of the device if it is lost (Q-Switch). Once the critical info (like mobile wallet info) is destroyed their L-Report function will report the loss to the credit card company or IT security group.
It looks like a comprehensive solution, and worth taking a look at.

The Zero Disparities Committee is a multidisciplinary working group comprised of members from the CHA Departments of Community Health Improvement, Multicultural Affairs and Patient Services, and Quality Management departments. The Committee's mission is to reduce disparities in service utilization and health outcomes among the populations served by the Cambridge Health Alliance.
According to the 2003 Institute of Medicine report "Unequal Treatment: Confronting Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care," racial and ethnic minorities in the U.S. receive lower quality of care even when insurance status, income, age, and illness severity are comparable with non-minorities. These disparities in health care, which occur in the broader context of historic and contemporary socioeconomic and racial inequality, contribute to poorer health outcomes for minorities across a wide range of health conditions and diseases.
Accurate, patient-identified race, ethnicity, and language (REL) data is essential for identifying any disparities that may exist among the communities we serve. The Zero Disparities Committee is currently working on several initiatives to improve the quality of the REL data collected from patients. The Committee provides training on best practices for REL data collection to registration staff and their managers, as well as develops and disseminates resources to aid staff in data collection. Members of the staff are available to provide trainings and consultation upon request.
Future initiatives will focus on using the REL data collected to identify and address any disparities found among our patient populations.

Environment Agency (EA) flood alerts issued on Christmas Eve (Tuesday) remain in place for the area from Datchet to Shepperton Green along the Thames which includes Old Windsor, Wraysbury and Horton.
The most recent EA update for the area issued last night states: "River levels are still slowly rising in places on the River Thames but the rate of rise has now slowed down substantially.
"However, flooding of roads and low lying land is still possible. The weather prospects are mainly dry throughout the day with the possibility of the odd shower."
A similar alert remains in place further up the Thames at Hurley and Cookham
There are currently no flood warnings in place though some have been issued further up the Thames including at Henley and Purley.
Parts of Datchet, Wraysbury and Old Windsor were left underwater between Christmas and New Year last year when the Thames burst its banks in floods described as the worst in a decade.

This Dad's Sandwich Bag Art Is a Thing of Beauty
Most kids go to school with lame brown paper bags or a store bought lunch box emblazoned with a theme they'll despise in a year. Unless, of course, their dad is David Laferriere, who spends time each morning personalizing his kids' plastic sandwich bags to make their day a little more colorful.
David says he began drawing on the sandwich bags of his sons — who are now 13 and 15 years old — back in 2008 when he wanted to do something fun and interesting with their lunches. He only had a black Sharpie kicking around at the time, but over the years, he has added a bunch of new colors and experimented with many new designs and techniques.
"The inspiration for the bags comes from whatever may be happening at the time," David tells Wetpaint Moms. "It could be something we did as a family, a holiday, or a day like Groundhog's Day. The weather sneaks in from time to time. Occasionally I will look at the bread and get an idea; those bubbles in the bread can be like finding shapes in the clouds."
David's Flickr account is full of more than 1,000 images of his sandwich bag creations. The drawings can be as simple as a banana, as intricate as a maze, or as creative as an archaeologist digging for fossils.
We wondered if Dave's teenage sons still get excited about his amazing artistic outlet, and thankfully, he said, "They like them, show their friends, and haven't asked me to stop."
When kids no longer appreciate things like their dad's thoughtful and fun sandwich bag art, it will mean the world is finally coming to an end!
Take a look at some of Dave's amazing work below:

Further proof that there's nothing the Kardashians won't shill for money: Kris Jenner, the reality TV family's matriarch, has reportedly signed on to endorse the sex aid Zestra.
Yep -- Jenner is the new spokeswoman for Zestra Essential Arousal Oils. According to the press release, "Zestra is a topically-applied, over-the-counter product from Semprae Laboratories, Inc., that is clinically proven to enhance women's sexual pleasure."
A pal tells Life & Style that she's not only a spokeswoman, she's also a customer. "She's tried it and uses it. She wants to promote great sex," a source says.
Here's Jenner's (way TMI) official comment on the deal: "Men are able to talk openly about sex. Since so many women turn to me for advice about their love lives and marriages, many wish they could enjoy more fulfilling sex lives and it starts with being honest about their issues and their hopes. I was thrilled to discover Zestra, especially because it's safe, natural and clinically proven to increase sexual satisfaction. I tried Zestra. It really works, and it's so easy to use, so great sex IS effortless. And isn't that what every woman deserves? I am sharing this news with women everywhere."
