Storm World: A Review
If you are a RealClimate regular, you are undoubtedly aware of our ongoing interest in the developments in the scientific understanding of potential hurricane-climate change linkages. This is an area of the science where a substantial body of significant new research has emerged even since RealClimate's inception in late 2004. The scientific research in this area, and the media frenzy and political theatrics that have inescapably followed it, are thoughtfully placed in a broader historical context in a fascinating new book by Chris Mooney entitled Storm World: Hurricanes, Politics, and the Battle over Global Warming. Anyone who is at all interested in the scientific history that has led to our current understanding of Hurricanes and their potential linkages with climate change, will find this book a page turner. The book is a nice complement to Kerry Emanuel's recent book Divine Wind: The History and Science of Hurricanes (which too is so readable that it lies on our coffee table). Mooney in a sense picks up where Emanuel's left off. Like Emanuel, he explores the history of the science. But he uses this historical context, and his studies of the personalities of key actors, to explore how the current scientific debate can be traced back to a rift that has emerged over many decades between distinct communities of atmospheric scientists.
Those looking for a polemic (the title of Mooney's previous book, after all, was "The Republican War on Science") will be disapointed. Mooney has clearly matured as a writer, and this latest book constitutes his best effort to date. He delivers a thoughtful, non-partisan, and scientifically and historically accurate review of the emergent science exploring the potential influence of climate change on hurricanes.

Galleries and Slideshows
Image galleries on WordPress.com are a great way to share your pictures with your friends, family, and your followers. An image gallery will display a set of small images attached to a particular post or page. Readers can click on any image to launch a full-size carousel that allows them to scroll through the entire gallery one image at a time. With the slideshow option, images will automatically move from one to the next after a few seconds.
Gallery Styles
You have several choices for how a gallery will be displayed in your post: a thumbnail grid layout, a tiled mosaic-style layout, or in a slideshow. All sites default to the thumbnail grid style. You can also style each gallery individually.
Tiled layouts can display in one of three styles: rectangular tiles, square tiles, or circular tiles. Along with looking great, the rectangular and square tiled layouts also have hover-over captions to save space while making captions accessible. (Check out examples of all three layout options in this post.)
To switch to tiled layouts from the default, head over to Settings → Media in your blog's dashboard, scroll down to "Image Gallery Carousel," and select the box next to "Display all your gallery pictures in a cool mosaic." Note that choosing this option makes this layout the default for all your blog's galleries, including those you've previously inserted.
When clicked, gallery images are displayed in a full-size carousel view, which you can customize from the Image Galleries Carousel section of the Media Settings.
Below is an example of an image gallery using the default thumbnail setting. If you click on any of the images you will be able to see what the carousel view looks like:
Adding a Gallery or Slideshow
- Open a post or page for editing. If it is a new post or page, make sure to add a title and save it at least once before trying to insert a gallery or slideshow.
- Click the Add Media button.
- Click Create Gallery at the top left.
- To add images from your hard drive, drag and drop your files into the box that appears, or click Select Files to choose a picture from your computer to upload.
- After the images have finished uploading, you will be shown all the images in your Media Library. Select any additional images you'd like to include in your gallery or slideshow by clicking on them.
To select multiple images, command-click (Mac) or control-click (PC) the ones you want to use.
- Click Create a new gallery at the bottom right.
- On the following screen, click on each image to edit its title, caption, alternate text, and description. (Only the caption will be displayed for the slideshow gallery type.) You can also click and drag photos to re-order them as you like, or choose the Reverse Order or Random Order options:
- Choose how you want the gallery to be displayed in the Gallery Settings area:
- Link to: Does not apply to slideshows.
- Attachment Page: A specialized page in your blog that shows the image in your selected theme.
- Media File: A direct link to the full-size uploaded image.
- Columns: The number of columns of thumbnails to display. This may be affected by your choice of theme, so be sure and test a bit with your current theme. This option does not apply to slideshows.
- Random Order: Check this box to randomize the order of images in your gallery or slideshow. That means the order will change randomly every time the page is loaded.
- Type: Specify the type of gallery here. The options are a default gallery of thumbnail images, a gallery with rectangular tiles, a gallery with square tiles, a gallery with circular tiles, or a slideshow.
- Link to: Does not apply to slideshows.
- When you've finished editing your gallery, click Insert gallery.
Editing a Gallery or Slideshow
- Open a post or page with a gallery for editing and make sure that you are in the Visual editing mode.
- Click on the gallery and then click the Edit Gallery icon that appears.
- The editing screen is similar to the one displayed when first inserting the gallery. As before, you can drag and drop images to reorder them and edit each image's title, alternative text, caption and description by clicking on the image.
- Adjust the Gallery Settings if necessary.
- Make sure to click the Update gallery button to save your settings and before you try to update any of the other gallery settings.
Gallery Shortcode
The gallery shortcode can be used in its simplest form like this (and will display the images attached to the post or page):
Note that after you've published or updated a post or page including the gallery shortcode, the Visual editor will no longer display the shortcode itself. To edit an already-entered shortcode, simply switch to the Text editor, where you will be able to see and edit the code.
To insert a tiled gallery, add the relevant shortcode addition after "gallery":
To insert a slideshow gallery type, use this shortcode:
[gallery type="slideshow"]
You can also pass other settings with the gallery shortcode.
|Default Setting
|Number of columns used to display the images
|An integer greater than 0 (not valid for the default rectangular grid)
|Type of image arrangement to display
|"thumbnail","rectangular", "square", "circle" or "slideshow".
|How to order the images
|ID, menu_order, rand, title + ASC, DESC
|menu_order ASC, ID ASC
|Size of the images to display
|thumbnail, medium, large, full (only valid for the default thumbnail grid)
|Start the slideshow on page load
|"true" or "false"
|The gallery will display images which are attached to that post.
|Any post or page ID that has images attached to it
|Default is to show the gallery post
|The gallery will include specific images
|comma separated attachment IDs – include="23,39,45″
|The gallery will exclude specific images. If this option is being used, other attached images won't be added to the gallery.
|comma separated attachment IDs – exclude="24,30,43″
Note: To get an attachment ID for an image, go to your Media Library and click on the title of the image you want. You can find the ID in the URL (the number after
You can follow almost the same steps for getting a post ID. Instead of going to your Media Library though, go to your Posts screen and then click on the title of the post you need.
[gallery id="402″]
[gallery columns="5″ orderby="title DESC, ID ASC"]
Manage Gallery Styles Individually
You can also manage gallery styles individually. To do so, go to Settings → Media. Under the section Image Gallery Carousel, uncheck the box Display all your gallery pictures in a cool mosaic and click Save, to keep the default thumbnail grid layout across your site.
When you want to include a gallery in a post, insert it as usual and then simply switch over to the Text tab in the post editor and add the code for the gallery style you want to use (see Gallery Shortcodes).
If you do not add a style, it will default to the thumbnail grid layout.
Examples of Gallery Styles
This is how each type of gallery style looks like. Styling each gallery individually will work only when the checkbox that says "Display all your gallery pictures in a cool mosaic" is unchecked in Settings → Media. For more information on how to style each gallery individually, please see Manage Gallery Styles Individually.
[gallery type="rectangular"]
[gallery type="square"]
note: If the gallery image count is a multiple of 3, they will display in the same, small size. If not, one image will be made larger to balance the layout, avoiding extraneous squares on their own line.
[gallery type="circle"]
note: If the gallery image count is a multiple of 3, they will display in the same, small size. If not, one image will be made larger to balance the layout, avoiding extraneous circles on their own line.

[gallery type="slideshow"]
If you have trouble creating a gallery in your post, try entering the title and saving it as a draft before you upload any images.

PROVIDENCE – Boasting a "Back to Basics" budget that contains no increase in taxes – and even a 2 percent reduction in the corporate tax rate over three years – Gov. Lincoln Chafee submitted an $8.1 billion tax and spending plan for 2014 to the General Assembly on Wednesday.
Of the budget total, $3.4 billion will come from state taxes and other revenues, with the rest provided by the federal government.
With a net surplus of $21.3 million expected to be left over from the current budget at the end of June, the administration is not asking the General Assembly for a supplemental appropriation for the 2013 budget.
Now that the governor has presented his budget, the House and Senate will hold hearings on its proposals. Near the end of the session, the House Finance Committee will produce a budget of its own, keeping some of the governor's proposal, scrapping others and adding some of the legislature's own initiatives.
Both Senate President Teresa Paiva Weed and House Speaker Gordon Fox gave Chafee high marks for his budget proposal.
Paiva Weed called it "extremely well-done," but neither would make promises about how much of it would pass intact. Both applauded the fact that it doesn't increase taxes and drops the corporate tax rate – which the legislature was considering as well, that it funds the education formula and helps cities and towns.
"We have avoided tax increases and are lowering the corporate rate through both good fiscal management and a strengthening economy," Chafee told a joint session of the General Assembly. "As we move forward, it is important to keep investing in the building blocks of this progress – that is, investing in education, infrastructure, and workforce development."
The governor's budget spends $27.7 million to once again fully fund the state school aid formula, and adds another $2.7 million in "categorical aid" for local school district; expenses such as transportation, special education, career and technical training and early childhood programs.
As a result, the allocations for local school districts are: Pawtucket, $70.6 million, an increase of $2.4 million; Woonsocket $48.1 million, up $1.4 million; Cumberland $14.9 million, a $700,000 hike; Lincoln, $8.9 up $250,000 and Glocester, $2.7 million ie losing $95,000. The state-run Central Falls district will receive $38.2 million, a loss of $1.5 million.
The budget also allocates an additional $6 million in funding for the state's schools and colleges, while at the same time prohibiting them from raising tuitions or cutting scholarships.
Chafee also proposes an additional $20 million in aid to cities and towns, particularly for distressed communities. Five million of that would come right away as part of the 2013 budget with the other $15 million coming after the July 1 start of the budget year. Of the $15 million in 2014, $10 million of that would come as part of a formula based on population. To get that money, the cities and towns would have to have a locally approved pension improvement plan in place by November.
Chafee is also asking lawmakers for an additional $10 million to help communities improve their roads and streetscapes. Based on the local road mileage in each community, Burrillville would receive $259,000; Central Falls would get $100,000 (the minimum amount); Cumberland, $280,000; Glocester, $222,000; Lincoln, $182,000; North Smithfield, $145,000; Pawtucket, $360,000, and Woonsocket, $211,000.
"We are proud of the last two budgets," Director of Administration Director Richard Licht told reporters, "but this one is really outstanding. "It is evidence of terrific fiscal discipline."
Licht credited the newly created Office of Management and Budget for imposing that discipline on the various departments of government by holding them to their budget allocations in the current year and keeping requests for the coming year low.
The governor is also proposing a "limited reinstatement" of the Historic Preservation Tax credits, basically allowing "abandoned" and unused tax credits approved in the past to be applied to new ventures. Preference will be given to projects that are ready to begin – what the federal government called "shovel-ready" – to help boost employment. There is currently $25 million available from abandoned projects, with the expectation that even more could be available after a May 15 deadline that will allow developers to abandon projects and have previously paid fees refunded.
Under Chafee's plan to reduce the corporate tax rate, the 9 percent rate would drop to 8 percent in 2014. Costing the state about $5.3 million in revenue; to 7.5 percent in the 2015 budget, costing $12,9 million, and to 7 percent in 2016, at a cost of just over $20 million.
The administration said that if the rate reduction is approved it would move Rhode Island from a ranting of 43rd among the 50 state to 26th and lower than the other five New England states.
Chafee and other administration officials say this is the earliest a governor has presented his annual budget to the legislature in more than two decades. This year the budget books sport a portrait of Pawtucket's Slater Mill by Lincoln artist Peter Campbell.

Message of the President
To the Congress of the United States:
I transmit herewith Reorganization Plan No. 10 of 1950, prepared in accordance with the Reorganization Act of 1949 and providing for reorganizations in the Securities and Exchange Commission. My reasons for transmitting this plan are stated in an accompanying general message.
After investigation I have found and hereby declare that each reorganization included in Reorganization Plan No. 10 of 1950 is necessary to accomplish one or more of the purposes set forth in section 2(a) of the Reorganization Act of 1949.
The taking effect of the reorganizations included in this plan may not in itself result in substantial immediate savings. However, many benefits in improved operations are probable during the next years which will result in a reduction in expenditures as compared with those that would be otherwise necessary. An itemization of these reductions in advance of actual experience under this plan is not practicable.Harry S. Truman.

Read: How The Rangers Used To Run Their Business
In the book "Behind The Moves," Jason Farris spoke with NHL General Managers past and present about how they conduct business and to tell stories about their lives in hockey.
Neil Smith said this about how MSG management wanted to run the Rangers during the offseason in 1997:
"When we lost Messier [to Vancouver as a free agent], [my boss] Dave [Checketts] comes in and says to me, 'We should do an offer sheet on Joe Sakic.'… He said, 'I'm on the board of governors and the Nuggets and Avalanche are broke and [their parent company CEO] Charlie [Lyons] says they are out of money. We'll front-load [the offer] and they can't match because they can't come up with the cash.'… [When the Avs did match our offer, I met with] ownership – ITT was the dominant managing partner then – and one guy said to me, 'We should sign Paul Kariya [from Anaheim] now and shove it [to Ducks owner] Disney and [CEO] Michael Eisner.' I said, 'I'm not doing that. I am not going to have any part of this. You are fucking going to ruin the league. I've got to live in this [league].'… It's [about] how you get up in the morning; it's how you feel about yourself – do you feel good about yourself?"

|Gas Going Down; Boone Prices Stuck
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 24 October 2012 06:15
AAA Carolinas says the average gas price in North Carolina today is 11 cents less than seven days ago, marking the greatest price decline in one week since 2008. The average price for a gallon of gas in North Carolina today is $3.58, compared to $3.69 one week ago. Gas prices have dropped
27 cents since Sept. 14, when it was $3.85. Motorists are still paying 15 cents more than they did on this date one year ago and have been paying more in 2012 than in 2011 since Aug. 15 of this year.So gas has dropped a bit for us here in the High Country. The further out of Boone, the faster gas prices are dropping, meaning, yes; our Gas Gap is still gaining on us. I bought gas in West Jefferson yesterday for $3.52.9 at a station that offered even $3.42.9 if you bought with a brand gift card—and the card was free. The same station had been at $3.58.9 earlier in the week. First prices posted upon returning to Boone—$3.77.9. Yes, there are some Blowing Rock Road prices that are $3.69.9, but with the majority of High Country traffic passing through Boone, it would appear there is a bit of profiteering from the tourism trade. The lowest Wilkesboro price has dropped to $3.39.9. And prices in Tennessee as reported by a GoBlueRidge.net reader are in a price war, dropping as low as $3.02 in the Kingsport area, with another reporting that border areas have prices Sunday in Elizabethton for $3.39 a gallon, and gas this morning in Mountain City at Parson's Quick Shop on Highway 421 was $3.54.9.

Feature and Technical Overview

SIP gateway process flow: Making a call from a BlackBerry device using Voice over Wi-Fi to an internal number
- A BlackBerry Mobile Voice System user connects to a Wi-Fi network and authenticates with the BlackBerry MVS. The user makes a call from a BlackBerry device to an internal number.
- The device starts a call establishment request, which includes the destination extension number. The device compresses, encrypts, and sends the request to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server over the Wi-Fi network.
- The BlackBerry Enterprise Server decrypts, decompresses, and sends the request to the MVS BlackBerry Enterprise Server Connector over a TCP connection.
- The MVS BlackBerry Enterprise Server Connector sends the request to the MVS Session Manager.
- The MVS Session Manager sends the request using SIP to the SIP gateway over a UDP port.
- The SIP gateway sends the call to the PBX.
- The PBX determines that the extension number is internal to the organization and rings the extension number over the organization's LAN.
- The recipient answers the call at a desk phone and voice communication occurs over an RTP connection between the BlackBerry device and the SIP gateway.
