Since 1982.--B.G.----------------------------------Bob, are you really suggesting that some of us have been lightweight backpackers since before Ray Jardine INVENTED it in 1996? Next, are you also going to tell us that Al Gore did not invent the Internet?P.S. My base was below 20 lbs in 1982 too.
"Bob, are you really suggesting that some of us have been lightweight backpackers since before Ray Jardine INVENTED it in 1996? Next, are you also going to tell us that Al Gore did not invent the Internet?"No one claims Jardine invented UL (he doesn't, nor does Al Gore claim he invented the internet). It is true that Jardine helped bring it into the mainstream more than just about anyone else I can think of, by a long shot.I had a friend who packed lightweight in 1973 and we all thought he was crazy and foolhardy...in those days you bragged about how much your pack weighed (more was better!) and how safe you were in doing so. My friend bought into multiple-use gear and we though he was cheap and/or weird. Amazing how times change. I haven't seen him since then...if I did I'll tell him he was way ahead of his time and I should have listened to him long ago. Instead I bought into the "better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it" philosophy.
I started on the UL path in 2001 ... about 10 minutes after finishing my first backpacking trip in about 20 years, a trip I fondly recall as "My Near Death Experience". It turned out that I was no longer the pack mule I once thought I was!
"P.S. My base was below 20 lbs in 1982 too."I remember doing a three-day Yosemite trip in 1983, and my total pack weight was 14.5 pounds.Shelter was about 3 oz., total cook gear was about 2 oz., sleeping bag was 1 lb. 15 oz., which was radical back then. Food was only 2 pounds for three days!It was that original article in Backpacker Magazine that got me started.--B.G.--
"No one claims Jardine invented UL (he doesn't, nor does Al Gore claim he invented the internet). It is true that Jardine helped bring it into the mainstream more than just about anyone else I can think of, by a long shot."Elliott,It was just my attempt at satire :)I don't think lightweight is in the mainstream yet. Actually the only thing I have read that was not in common use that Jardine highlighted were quilts. Everything else I had seen or used. Rivendell sold frameless packs in the 70's, tarps were really common in the 70's more so than tents in the backcountry. My first backpacking shoes were Converse sneakers, etc.
In 1967 in the boy scouts we did our best to have light gear. We used to use tarps and hammocks (Nylon rope nets that weighed about a lb) in Harriman State Park in NY, even so our packs were heavy.Currently I have about a 6lb base weight, dropped the most weight about 2007.
My first big gear purchase was in 1967, an REI McKinley down bag, which only lasted 40 years. I did the JMT in 1971 with a tube tent (no tent), no water filter, no bear canister, and no stove. We were not trying to be light, but those were not even available then. I thought I was being quite innovative by having a nylon shirt. I was always interested in photography and climbing, so a 10 lb rope and a 12 pound hardware rack abd a camera, tripod and tele lens made light weight impossible. I kept up backpacking and climbing for 35 years, not worrying too much about weight. In mountain rescue work my pack got heavier, and doing nordic ski patrol my first aid kit got huge. With my pay for teaching a college backpacking class and a winter camping class, I got a Western Mountaineering Megalight about 8 years ago, and replaced my Kelty Tioga with an Acteryx Bora 65, which weighed 6.5 pounds. I got an REI Flash 65 about 4 years ago to replace the Arcteryx, and about 5 years ago I got a Tarptent. I was always a skeptic of alcohol stoves, thinking how much weight could really be saved over a GigaPower stove and a 4 oz canister? Then I tried a Caldera Cone, and I was sold mostly on the silence and lack of mechanical parts, and versatility in cooking. I guess I've been at a plateau for 3 or 4 years, at 14.5 pounds before camera and fishing gear.
Another Ray Jardine conversion here, circa 1997.I can't remember which angel-friend found and lent me Jardine's (first) book, but I'll be forever grateful.There is a photo of me in camp along the High Sierra Trail in 1991, pre-Jardine. Jeans, cotton t-shirt, and...BIRKENSTOCKS for camp shoes! And somehow I never made the connection between all that stuff and my desperately aching back, hips and feet.- Elizabeth

migrate users ID from old IM manager server to new IM manager server
Dear support,
I am having symantec IM Manager version 8.4.17 on windows 2003 enterpries server service pack 2. I am having one moe IM Manager server version 8.4.1362 on windows server 2003 enterprise service pack 2. And we want to migrate users ID from IM Manager version 8.4.1362 to IM Manager version 8.4.17. If it is possible to migrate the same so please provide us the steps to do the same and if it is not posible so could you provide us the alternate solution for the same.
Thank you in advance for the information.

You can migrate users from one database to another via SQL queries if you really need to. However, you would need to open a support case to get a engineer to help you with the exact SQL queries.
Chances are... that you probably can do it an easier way. If your users all from an LDAP source (like Active Directory), you can simply reimport them (like if this was a OCS installation with IM Manager installed). Since all the user and screen-names are stored in AD in that case.. you don't need to copy them, just tell the new IM Manager to re-import thme (via the LDAP configuration).
If you are looking to migrate the users or any of the other settings, another approach is to simply make a copy of the existing IM Manager database to where your new IM Manager server can connect to it. You can run the IM Manager installed for 8.4.17 against the copy of the database. The 8.4.17 installer will use that copied database and all your users, groups and settings will be saved.
As mentioned below the best thing to do is the following:
1) Take a database backup of 8.4.13 DB.
2) Restore the database with a new name (on same database server or a different one).
3) Run the installation of 8.4.17 on new IM Manager against new database. This step will upgrade the 8.4.13 database to 8.4.17. This keeps all the old settings.
Here is some more information about moving a database: How to Move the IM Manager Database to a New Database Server.
If you don't want to do that you could possibly copy the IM name registrations from the old database to the new one using SQL queries. The table is imnames.

Retroperitoneal fibrosis
Retroperitoneal fibrosis is a rare disorder that blocks the tubes (ureters) that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder.
Alternative Names
Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis; Ormond's disease
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Retroperitoneal fibrosis occurs when extra fibrous tissue forms in the area behind the stomach and intestines. The tissue forms a mass (or masses) that can block the tubes that carry urine from the kidney to the bladder.
The cause of this problem is not known. It is most common in people aged 40 - 60. Men are twice as likely to develop the condition as women.
Early symptoms:
- Dull pain in the abdomen that increases with time
- Pain and change of color in the legs (due to decreased blood flow)
- Swelling of one leg
Later symptoms:
- Decreased urine output
- No urine output (anuria)
- Nausea, vomiting, changes in thinking caused by kidney failure and build-up of toxic chemicals in the blood
- Severe abdominal pain with hemorrhaging (due to death of intestinal tissue)
Signs and tests
Abdominal CT scan is the best way to find a retroperitoneal mass.
Other tests that can help diagnose this condition include:
- BUN and creatinine blood tests
- Intravenous pyelogram (IVP) - not as commonly used
- Kidney ultrasound
- MRI of the abdomen
- CAT scan of the abdomen and retroperitoneum
A biopsy of the mass may also be done to rule out cancer.
Corticosteroids are tried first. Some doctors also prescribe a drug called tamoxifen.
If corticosteroid treatment doesn't work, a biopsy should be done to confirm the diagnosis. Other medicines to suppress the immune system can be prescribed.
When medicine does not work, surgery and stents (draining tubes) are needed.
Expectations (prognosis)
The outlook will depend on the extent of the problem and the amount of damage to the kidneys.
The kidney damage may be temporary or permanent.
The disorder may lead to:
- Ongoing blockage of the the tubes leading from the kidney on one or both sides
- Chronic kidney failure
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you have lower abdomen or flank pain and less output of urine.
Try to avoid long-term use of medicines that contain methysergide. This drug has been shown to cause retroperitoneal fibrosis. Methysergide is sometimes used to treat migraine headaches.

Don't focus on a big goal. Focus on the choices you make, telling yourself you only have to make it til lunch, or til bedtime depending on the time of day you're focusing on. Splitting it up like that helps TREMENDOUSLY for those who feel like their willpower is weak! :)
Do it one day at a time
Secret- One day at a time plus progress, not perfection
take one day at a time.

Apparently disturbed by the threat issued by the dreaded Islamic sect, Boko Haram, against President Goodluck Jonathan, the Nigerian Air Force in Kaduna at the weekend embarked on a 10 kilometre route match to declare its readiness against any threat to the country's internal security.
Speaking shortly after the exercise, the Air Officer Commanding, Air Marshal Alex Sabundu-Badeh, charged the officers and men of the command to be ever ready to protect the corporate co-existence of Nigeria in the face of security challenges in the country.
Besides, the Air Force chief urged the officers and men of the command to at all times be vigilant and battle-ready for any threat to national security.
Over 1,000 officers and men of the command took part in the 10 kilometre route match aimed at keeping them fit.
The exercise, which took place at the Headquarters of the NAF Training Command, Nigerian Air Force Base, Kaduna was attended by commanders, officers and men of the seven commands in Kaduna.
The AOC, while assuring the officers and men of the command of an open door policy, warned against indiscipline among them.
He said, "Our quick and prompt assembly for the route match has shown that the NAF will perform creditably well if we are called upon to go out for any operation.
"This exercise is not a kind of a show of our physical fitness, but to be able to bring everybody together and do things together as a group.
"Certainly any exercise you do will enhance your physical fitness and since nobody fell by the road side during the exercise, it means that we have proved to be ready for any call to duty."

Chanel Inimitable Mascara Reviews
Beautiful!I received this mascara as a gift from a friend some time ago. I LOVE it. I always used it with a primer to get the best look, but even without the primer, this mascara made my lashes look gorgeous. It has a nice, deep black color and I didn't have any trouble with smudging or flaking. It was also very easy to remove with just my normal eye makeup remover. My only complaint is the high price (and that I tend to frequent Sephora for my makeup needs, and Sephora doesn't carry Chanel). — 3 years, 2 months agotallredamanda | 427 reviews

Expected betterNot bad mascara, but I was expecting more. Mascara has light consistency, without creasing or flaking. But it didn`t gave any volume and lengh for my lashes. But it gives a good seperation and I like the brush. — 2 years, 2 months agoLizBreygel | 44 reviews
Not as expectedI had such high hopes for this mascara because I heard soooo many great reviews from fellow makeup artists and friends, but it just didnt work for me =( so sad.. I have very thin lashes that are medium length and they didnt lengthen or volume as much as I had hoped.. This mascara doesnt curl either so definetly curl lashes if you do use this mascara. Diorshow is still the best =) — 4 years, 6 months agomakeupbyjanalyn | 168 reviews
Gorgeous ResultsThis is the best mascara I've ever tried! It's actually perfect in every single way. It separates my lashes beautifully while adding length and volume that be easily built up for a more dramatic look. It doesn't flake or smudge the slightest bit - and that's after wearing it for the evening, falling asleep with it on, and waking up six hours later. If you're willing to splurge on a mascara, get this one! — 3 years, 7 months agoamygab1126 | 241 reviews
Adds great volume!I love how this mascara makes my lashes look all fluffy and thick. — 6 years, 5 months agochanceuxlilas | 324 reviews

Great "staying" power!I hate to say it, but THIS mascara really IS worth the extra$$. I had been having trouble getting to the end of the day w/any on @ all, and this goes right on into the night! The brush makes the curl stay with you, too. Never thought I would do it, but this one rates a "10"!!!! — 7 years ago1955Nurse | 234 reviews

All time FavoriteExcept for the cost. This is my very favorite mascara. I try different ones all of the time, This by far is my go to HG. I love, love, love it! — 1 year, 6 months agosusan_rosenberg_sandoloski | 5 reviews
Beautiful! But smudged!I really really wanted to like this, even repurchased.....twice! Yes I did! My lashes looked AMAZING! But lord at the raccoon eyes. I was so disappointed! Puzzling disappointment in the packaging too. Would have thought as wonderful as the Chanel label is, we would have prettier packaging to WOW us with! So Sad This didnt work out for me, because it really made my lashes look great! I just cant forgive a mascara especially a high end brand for giving me raccoon eyes! — 2 years, 7 months agoglitzyowl03 | 4 reviews
Chanel Inimitable MascaraI really like this mascara. It is super easy to apply, doesn't clump and most importantly, it won't smudge off after a long day at work. I have sensitive eyes and it didn't bother me at all. Beyond it being a little pricey it can be difficult to find in stock. I've walked away from the Chanel counter empty handed more than once. — 2 years, 9 months agongm1960 | 6 reviews
AmazingI must admit, when I finally ran out of this I shed a tear. This was my go-to everyday mascara, it seriously lengthened and volumized my lashes without looking showy or obnoxious. Also, even though I didn't have the waterproof one, I found it to be very water/sweat resistant but easy to remove. — 3 years, 5 months agoannikagrl7 | 7 reviews

Merle Haggard joins several other entertainment giants in the spotlight on Tuesday's CBS special "The Kennedy Center Honors," an event that's carried enormous weight ever since it was established in 1978.
Mixing celebrities and politicians, this year's edition was shot earlier this month in Washington, D.C., with Oprah Winfrey, Paul McCartney, Broadway lyricist Jerry Herman and choreographer Bill T. Jones joining Merle among the honorees.
Merle, meanwhile, is frustrated with the treatment of another former Kennedy Center Honors recipient, Willie Nelson. Willie was arrested in El Paso over Thanksgiving weekend for possession of pot. It led to a lot of headlines, but Merle believes the laws surrounding weed are unfair, particularly in light of the way Americans abuse prescriptions.
"There are some people in this world that have no idea what the real deal is," Merle told The Bakersfield Californian. "I think it's silly to put someone in jail for [marijuana possession]. I think it's a threat to the pharmaceutical industry that you can go to the garden to grow something that might keep you from having to use Lipitor."
Merle kicked off one of his most famous songs, "Okie From Muskogee," with the line "We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee," but he later became a self-avowed pot smoker himself. Merle stopped smoking anything after he had a lemon-sized tumor removed from a lung in November 2008. He had to cancel a number of concerts this fall in the aftermath of the surgery, but he doesn't intend to stay down long.
"For the two years following the surgery [for lung cancer] you get infections from the hospital," he said. "They call them staph infections — I guess because the staff gets 'em first. I had an ongoing infection that lasted for the best part of two years after that. It was touch and go because I only have this one part of my lung and I had an infection in it. We're going to try [touring] another year."
For "The Kennedy Center Honors," Merle didn't have to perform. Instead, his songs were done by Willlie, Kris Kristofferson, Brad Paisley, Miranda Lambert, Kid Rock, Jamey Johnson, Sheryl Crow and Vince Gill. The celebration airs on CBS beginning at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday.

The 9th Annual Columbia Business School Healthcare Conference
The healthcare industry continues to be plagued by unsustainable costs, fragmented, inefficient, and misaligned delivery systems, uneven quality of patient care, and coverage gaps which increase the overall costs to payors and consumers. Healthcare reform initiatives are ongoing across the globe. In the U.S. many companies are pressing forward with creative approaches to addressing these problems, in spite of a political and media environment full of acrimony and distortion, and continued uncertainty in the "rules of the game". So who are these innovative companies, entrepreneurs, and investors and what business models and approaches are they pursuing that can result in sustainable improvement in the delivery of high quality affordable healthcare?
Now in its ninth year, the Columbia Business School Healthcare Conference attracts more than 500 industry practitioners and students from Columbia and other top-tier professional schools. As reflected in this year's theme: "Catalysts for Change in a Fractured Healthcare System", we are excited to have gathered over 35 of the brightest minds in healthcare to explore innovative strategies being pursued by established healthcare organizations, emerging companies, and global investors to develop novel technologies, improve health outcomes, and deliver more cost-effective patient care. We will do so with the unique insight provided by esteemed keynote speakers, in addition to seven diverse panels of experts:
- Biopharmaceuticals
- Medical Technologies
- Venture Capital and Entrepreneurship
- Healthcare Services
- Emerging Markets
- Mergers and Acquisitions
- Investing in Healthcare Transformation
The Conference concludes with a networking reception and career fair with our prominent sponsors -- leading healthcare employers, investors and advisory firms that promote healthcare business education and research.
On behalf of the Columbia Business School Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Management Program and student-run Healthcare Industry Association (HCIA) we welcome you to this year's exciting event!

One man was hospitalized Friday morning in Marietta after an overdose of huffing canned air.
In response, police are warning people about the dangers of this activity.
Marietta Police say huffing air from containers like air dusters for computer keyboards can give people a high.
But at the same time, it can have serious health consequences.
That's because huffing stops oxygen from flowing throughout your body, which can cause damage to your organs.
"The sudden sniffing death syndrome, one time of huffing can kill you, it's that simple," says Marietta Police Capt. Jeff Waite. "Parents should really watch, check their children's rooms an inordinate amount of cans, canned air, empties."
To fight huffing amongst young people Captain Waite says many stores only allow 18-and-over customers to buy any type of air dust cleaner.
Marietta Police say a man suffers serious injuries after a huffing overdose.
Thursday police say they were called to Theis Avenue in Marietta for a 23 year old who they say overdosed on canned air.
Police say the man is in the hospital "suffering severe issues."

Introducing Trigonometry
|The Aim and The Description
Constructing triangles
Tags - GCSE, HS, SSM, Introducing Trigonometry, investigation
Aim - for students to investigate and discover the patterns for a ratio in similar triangles and thus understand the basic premis behind the meaning of 'Sine 30'
Description - In This activity students are aked to construct triangles with pencil, ruler and compass given specific instructions 'they should all be similar). They are asked to measure the remaining features of the triangles and comment on the similarities. Students then calculate the sine ratio for the angle (which should be 30°) and make a statement about what this means for this set of similar triangles. Students are then asked to verify their results using Cabri
Investigating the Sine ratio
Tags - GCSE, HS, SSM, Introducing Trigonometry, investigation, IT
Aim - In the first instance, for students to demonstrate for themselves that the ratio of opposite to hypotenuse for all 30, 60, 90 triangles remains 0.5 . Students then use the Cabri Calculator to investigate the sine ratio for other angles between 0 and 90. There is potential for intersteing discsussion about both of these limits.
Description - The Cabri calculator has been pre designed for students us. First students use it verify that sin 30 = 0.5 by enlarging the triangle in the file, measuring the relevant sides and calculating the ratio. Students then change the angle and conclude about the sin of other angles; their results are collected and in table and plotted on a graph. the graph is then used to make predictions and begin the notion of solving problems before using the calcultor to work it out.
Why? What? How?
Making and using a Cabri Calculator for Sin, Cos and Tan
Tags - GCSE, HS, SSM, Introducing Trigonometry, create, IT, investigation
Aim - For students to extend their understanding of the geometric origins of sin, cos and tan by constructing the triangles that can be used to calculate the ratios
Description - Students are shown the cabri-calculator for sin (degree of explanation offered by the teacher depends on the class and their fluency with the program) and asked to construct their own for cos and tan. (Of course, these three can all be done on the same file). students are then asked to use the calculators to investigate some patterns. For example, that for 0 to 90 cos is a reflection of sin and sin 30 = cos 60.
Cabri - Calculator + instructions
Making Statements
Tags - GCSE, HS, SSM, Introducing Trigonometry, worksheet
Aim - For students to become familiar with the idea of analysing triangles with trigonometrical statements before using trigonometry to solve problems.
Description - Students are given a diagram containing right angled triangles. The angles and dimensions are all given algebraic symbols. Students are asked to make as many correct statements about the diagram as possible. Some students may extend this to the use of pythagoras' theorem and calculations of area.
Solving trig Equations
Tags - GCSE, HS, SSM, Introducing Trigonometry, investigation
Aim - For students to recap the simple relationship between 3 variables that allows each of them to be made the subject and to then use this to solve trig equations.
Description - This worksheet asks students to recall simple incerse operations to change the subject of a simple 3 variable formula and gradually leads on to applying this to sipmle trig equations and thus on to solving simple right - angled trig problems

|Intimacy (Rated-PG) / 9:23 AM - Wednesday September 07, 2005
Emotionally defensive women
This is aimed towards woman
- Asked by A Mr. Nice Guy, Male, 26-28, Glasgow, Who Cares?
Well..either the fact that he just wouldn't leave me alone (the guy I've been dating for over a year now)...or a guy who is just very sincere in everything he says...never lies...sort of wears his heart out there on his sleeve (the guy I'm dating now). :o) When a girl is pulling from past relationships what she is really wanting is someone to be completely, no bullshit, honest with her. If you do that...and communicate your feelings openly, then that says a lot to a girl. Good luck hun! ;)
- Response by wolfwalker, A Thinker, Female, 22-25, Student
Well for me it was understanding and compassion. We talked for hours, and everything was open. There were no judgements made, and when I did get defensive, he understood and was so amazingly patient which he did all on his own. It showed that he really does care, and I think that's why we are so close. We both think that we met each other for a reason. And he told me that he will do [and has done] things for me that he would never do for anyone else, and he doesn't even know why. I feel the same way, so if it's the right person, you will find it easier, and do things you never would've thought you would do for someone.

Due to a very impressive second half, The New York Knicks were able to defeat their cross-river rivals, The New Jersey Nets.
Chauncey Billups knocked down a pair of free throws to seal the deal after Deron Williams missed a fairly open jumper with just less than ten seconds to play.
Billups led the second half charge with 33 points, six rebounds, and six assists; perhaps his finest performance since the trade.
Another outstanding performance from Melo helped the Knicks win their second consecutive game. I was incredibly impressed by his play on the defensive side of the ball. He hounded the ball all night and came up with multiple steals, stops and boards. He had a huge third quarter offensively. He scored 20 of the Knicks' 33 points in the third, en route to his second straight 39-point game.
Also in that third quarter, with Amare Stoudemire on the bench with five fouls, the Knicks bench stepped up. Anthony Carter had five points while handing out six dimes, including 3 consecutive dishes to Shelden Williams who may have earned a permanent spot in the starting lineup.
The fourth quarter, perhaps the most exciting for the Knicks since the trade, was an all out battle. Both teams traded dunks, threes, and and-ones until the buzzer.
The Knicks showed extreme poise and fight as they climbed all the way back from a ten-point halftime deficit. The Knicks stole this game away from the Nets.
Amare had a very quiet second half but still finished with 23 points. He came out of the gate with tons of energy, and led the Knicks' offense in the first quarter.
The big three had a combined 95 points, and finally looked in sync for most of the game.
If the Knicks continue to improve their chemistry and defense, they will be an incredibly dangerous team come play off time; A team that no opponent will want to face in the first round.
Go Knicks!

Firefighters Quench Small Grass Fire [AUDIO]
Midwest, Edgerton Seek Firefighting EQ Dollars
Fire fighting equipment doesn't fit very well into the fire hall in Midwest and two of their trucks have been downgraded after 30 years of service.
The towns of Edgerton and Midwest are both in sore need of a firefighting upgrade. Recognizing their need the towns are looking for the dollars to make it happen. Grant writing is part of that process and the Natrona County Commission on Tuesday agreed to help out with $8,000 to get the process going.
Burning Produce Trailer Shuts Interstate
A Semi trailer fire shut down I-25 north of Casper Tuesday evening. Natrona County Fire Investigator Dave Baker says the 53 foot refrigerator truck full of apples was engulfed in flames when fire firefighters arrived. Fortunately, Baker says, the quick actions of the driver prevented further damage..

What to do
The movie (©Fergus Sullivan, with kind permission) conveys a little of the impression. While it runs, the object seemingly distorts. What does it look like, anyway? Somewhat like 3 corridors leading into the depth, and the entire arrangement rotates a little. Seen from top it appears to have this (green) profile:
In reality, the depth is inverted. This can be seen at the very beginning and end of the movie (stop it there for closer inspection). There it looks very different, and that's what it really looks like:
three truncated pyramids, but with tricky texture painted on them. What seems to lead away from the observer (the corridors) actually points toward her. Seen from the top, the entire object has the following profile (in blue).
The movie illustrates what is known as "Reverspective", short for "reverse perspective", a term that was, I believe, coined by Patrick Hughes. While the pyramids are extending out towards the viewer, the painting or texture on them is made increasingly smaller, as it would occur with increasing distance. Our visual system sees this size change, and "size constancy" kicks in, perspective is assumed, but in the wrong direction.
Once the depth is inverted, the seeming motion or distortion is just due to geometry: motion parallax shifts close objects relative to distant objects when we move sideways. Inversely, position of objects is deduced from their parallax. When the depth is inverted, the motion inverts too. Yes, this is a convoluted explanation.
When one does not just see the movie, but a real reverspective object, the effect becomes more striking: when one moves sideways, the object seems to become alive and rotate by itself (in the opposite direction). Real objects, when constructed right, can easily be seen in inverse depth. It works best if one covers one eye, then there is no contradiction between stereovision (what we deduce from the slight differences in the images of our two eyes) and (inverted) perspective. In fact, if you are observing a nice renaissance perspective painting in a book (thus from a short distance), the perceived depth of the image can be greatly enhanced by closing one eye.
I strongly suggest that you view a real reverspective object. Either buy one, or build one, below I give sources.
Reverspective is closely related to the "hollow mask" illusion, but there the depth inversion is even more compelling because the face percept is "stronger" then the knowledge that depth is inverted. The little dragon from "gathering for Gardener" is another cute example.
The next movie (again from Fergus Sullivan) helps to appreciate the inverted depth by including an entire 3d room scene.

I was just wondering if XP passwords can be hacked then why cant a Hacker just hack my passwords stored in my browser. Is it possible for someone to know my browser saved password while I surf the internet. Does it become easy for hackers to steal from browsers that have open source code ? How to Safeguard Browser saved passwords.
If a hacker gains administrative access to your computer, he can certainly steal the passwords stored in the browser. That is one of the good reasons why you shouldn't store high-sensitive passwords in the browser.
Just as an example, I blogged some time ago, about how Chrome stores it's passwords. The other browsers use a similar approach.
Remember that the browser must be able to decrypt your password into clear-text, in order to be able to submit it for you automatically when you wish to gain access to a site. This is what makes the browser the most vulnerable. In many other systems (including the Windows passwords), the actual passwords are not stored, but instead a one-way hash of the actual password, making it practically impossible to revert the stored value to the actual clear-text password.
About the source code part:
There is a debate about it. Some people like the idea of so called "security through obscurity". The core of that idea is that the bad guy doesn't know how system he is attacking works. So in case of browsers that means that he wouldn't have access to source code. In a perfect system, security through obscurity would make a system safer. Unfortunately browsers aren't perfect enough for that. Usually there are bugs which go unnoticed by development team and which may be exploited.
That's why open source browsers like Firefox for example use another security doctrine. Their developers believe that source code should be public. This will allow attackers to know how browser works, but on the other side it will allow security researchers to find bugs and report them so that developers may fix them. The idea is to make a browser so safe that it has no vulnerable places which crackers can exploit. If there are no vulnerabilities, the fact that crackers know how browser works does not help them.
Internet Explorer: No encryption or master password.
All of these browsers, no matter how you put it, can be hacked by anyone with physical or remote access to your computer.
A browser being open-sourced can go either way in a security debate. On one hand, it's bad because then people will know how it encrypts the password and hack it easier. On the other hand, if it's open source, it'll be more rigorously tested and modified, and hence, much more secure.
My solution is to use a password manager with some decent encryption. Keepass (Windows) and 1Password (Mac) are known for having the best encryption (128-bit Rijndael, though KeePass hashes the password a lot so technically it's way more secure). Both of them have viable browser integration and should be fine for general surfing purposes.
In Firefox, anyone can see your saved passwords when you go to Tools, Options, then the Security Tab, and then click Saved Passwords. Then click "Show Passwords" and voila! you have all of the user's passwords. Yes, there an option to have a master password set, most users do not do this, or are not aware of this option...

The deadline for applications is coming up on Dec. 14 with the drawing to take place during City Council's meeting on Dec. 18, which starts at 7:30 p.m. at City Hall, 145 Taunton Avenue.
The home located at 78 Anthony St. has 1,592-square-feet of living area, including three bedrooms; one and ½ baths with a laundry area on second floor; an eat-in kitchen; full-sized dining and living rooms; high efficiency gas heating and windows with fully insulated walls and ceiling; and a backyard with off-street parking.
And all for the low sale price of $130,000.
The city purchased the property in 2011 out of foreclosure for $110,000, then renovated it for $100,000, with all money coming from federal funds directed through the state. The city renovated it incorporating high efficiency heating and insulation technologies. The renovations also included new roofing, siding, windows, and new heating, plumbing, and electrical systems. The property has a lead safe certificate that was issued on July 19. The renovations were completed in August.
At the City Council's meeting on Dec. 18, a winner and two alternates will be drawn in case the winner falls through. The winner will have 45 days to close on the property.
The application numbers will be randomly drawn and placed in the order drawn on a lottery result list.
The order drawn will reflect the order that households will have the opportunity to be qualified to purchase the property. Only three households will be picked out of the pool at the lottery drawing.
The first household drawn will have the first opportunity to purchase this home. If they fail to close within 45 days of the drawing, the next household drawn will have the opportunity to purchase this home. If the second household cannot close within 45 days from being notified, the final household drawn will have the opportunity to purchase this home. If all three fail to close within the specified time frames, a new lottery drawing will be publicized and a new drawing will take place.
There will also be a 30-year affordability period that will be placed on the deed to the property restricting its resale price.

With the weather we had lately, it is hard to tell what season it is in York! However, the cold will blow once again, and the kids will be trapped inside with you.
It is hard to be green when the world doesn't have that fresh hue.
Maybe you lost momentum because of the holidays. The kids are bored with their new toys, but your wallet can't take another hit. Plus, you are trying to be green and eco-friendly, right?
Here are some simple ideas for being green this winter:
- Before throwing away that box or the toilet paper rolls, hop on Pinterest or search the Internet for some cute craft ideas. We have a few ideas here on Smart, such as monster bookmarks. Check out our Pinterest board for ideas by staff members and others.
- How about making some crafts for yourself out of items in your home, such as trash-to-treasure gift bags or a jewelry organizer.
- Freshen your home with materials found in your pantry, and save a trip to the store.
- Curl up with a hot cup of homemade cocoa and watch a movie or three from your own collection. When was the last time you watched your favorite movie, buried behind your kids' Disney ones?
- Pretend the electricity went out, and pull out the board games.
- Organize your house. Make it a game with your kids, and help them sort items to give to Salvation Army or many of the other drop-off boxes. Clearing up clutter never feels more green than when you donate!
- Go to the park! Yes, it is cold, but as long as you limit your time, a winter workout will still be fun. Enjoy what nature has to offer in these often-gloomy months.
What are some ways you try to stay green during the winter?

Shivering:Dark Seducer
|This page or section is incomplete. You can help by adding to it.
Needs NPC Infoboxes (health, magicka, etc.) for unnamed guards, plus info for the special Dark Seducers in the Cold Flame of Agnon, the Ritual of Dementia/Mania, Retaking the Fringe, The Helpless Army, The End of Order, the Dark Seducer Turnkey, the Dark Seducer Escort, and the summonable Dark Seducer to bring it in line with the information on the Golden Saints page.
For more information, see the help files, the style guide, and this article's talk page.
Dark Seducers are Sheogorath's Daedric guards in Dementia, and can be found guarding the Crucible section of New Sheoth. Their base is at Pinnacle Rock, where Sheogorath placed a wellspring from which they are able to enter and live in his realm. They are rivals with the Golden Saints and the two are sometimes found battling each other.
Dark Seducers exhibit little beyond their appearance to match their names, and can seldom be considered seductive. While they too assert their superiority over all others in the realm, they appear to have a more patient, introspective nature than their Golden Saint rivals. They often appear humble in their dealings with mortals, and are known to be patient with the "lesser races". Like the Golden Saints, they are a matriarchal society, with the males playing secondary roles. They call themselves Mazken. The named Dark Seducers are Adeo, Dylora, Autkendo Jansa, Nelrene, Stela, Grakendo Udico, Grakedrig Ulfri and Vika.
No Dark Seducers, whether named or not, have the persuasion option available in their dialogue menu.
Most of the Dark Seducers are related to Shivering Isle's Main Quest. They generally have no unique name. The generic varieties of Dark Seducer that you may encounter are:
- Dark Seducer
- Dark Seducer Guard
- Dark Seducer Archer
- Dark Seducer Soldier
- Dark Seducer Warrior
- Dark Seducer Mage
- Dark Seducer Kiskedrig
- Dark Seducer Grakedrig
For more information about Dark Seducers read the book Saints and Seducers.
All Dark Seducers have ranks. In theory, there are seven ranks. Only four ranks are used in-game, however. The ranks are as follows:
- Kiskengo
- Kiskella
- Kiskedrig
- Grakendo
- Grakella
- Grakedrig
- Autkendo
Most Dark Seducers are ranked at Kiskengo. From this we can assume this is equivalent to a soldier. Only three other ranks are used: Grakendo (Grakendo Udico), Grakedrig (Grakedrig Ulfri), and Autkendo (Autkendo Jansa).
In the Shivering Isles, the Dark Seducers are not creatures but NPCs.
Overall spells, abilities and powers (all immune to silence):
- Racial ability: Constant Spell Absorption 15pts and Weakness to Frost 50%
- Lesser power: Absorb Health 1pt for 60 secs on Touch
- -10 Endurance, Intelligence, Strength, Willpower
- -15 Luck
- -30 Personality
- +10 Agility, Luck, Speed
- -30 Personality
- +10 Light Armor and Marksman
- +5 Alteration, Athletics, Block, Blunt, and Sneak
They wear light armor and carry a mace, axe, shortsword, longsword, and/or a bow. Specific details on the weapons carried by Dark Seducers is provided in the Weapons article.
All Dark Seducers will be able to cast two randomly selected spells: a powerful Alteration spell and a powerful Restoration spell. In each case the effect is randomly determined from the following list while the strength of the spell is randomly based on the seducer's skill level. The possible effects for each school are:
- Alteration: Burden, Fire Shield, Frost Shield, Shield † and Shock Shield
- Restoration: Absorb Fatigue, Absorb Health, Absorb Skill and Restore Health ‡
† This effect is listed three times in the leveled list and is therefore more likely to be chosen
‡ Similarly to the effect above, this one appears four times in the leveled list and is also more likely to be chosen
Certain Dark Seducers, in particular mages, will be able to cast a different set of leveled spells: a major Alteration spell, 1 major and 1 minor Destruction spell and a major Restoration spell. The possible effects for each school are:
- Alteration: Burden, Fire Shield, Frost Shield, Shield † and Shock Shield
- Destruction:
- 1 Damage Health, Drain Health, Fire Damage †, Frost Damage † or Shock Damage † (the damage spells may all be on touch or on target)
- 1 Damage Health, Drain Health or Fire Damage † (may be on touch, on target or an area-effect spell)
- Restoration: Absorb Fatigue, Absorb Health, Absorb Skill and Restore Health ‡
† These effects are listed twice in the leveled list and are therefore more likely to be chosen
‡ Similarly to the effects above, this effect is listed three times in the leveled list
†† Similarly to the effects above, this one appears four times in the leveled list and is also more likely to be chosen
Dark Seducer Containers[edit]
The seducers have their own special set of containers, all found in Pinnacle Rock.
|Plain Armor
|Magic Armor
|Plain Weapon
|Plain Jewelry
|Dark Seducer Containers
|10% 10%

- Dark Seducers refer to male characters as "The Duchess of Mania." The bug is due to the Dark Seducer dialogue checking her own gender instead of the player's gender.
- This bug is fixed by the Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch.

In the winter....
Whether you're a fan of winter or more of a hot fun in the summer sun type, once the cold weather hits you're often at the mercy of the elements.
Older adults who don't travel to warmer climates once the temperature drops can find winter a formidable foe. Seniors on the cusp of another harsh winter should consider the following safety tips to make it through the season in one piece.
â¢Understand hypothermia and frostbite: Hypothermia is a condition in which a person's body temperature is abnormally low, typically at a dangerous level. Symptoms of hypothermia might be misconstrued as normal side effects of a cold winter. However, hypothermia can be fatal. Symptoms of hypothermia include the following.
â¢Excessive shivering.
â¢Loss of energy.
â¢Feelings of confusion and sleepiness.
â¢Cold skin that is ashy or pale.
â¢Slowed breathing.
â¢Reduced heart rate.
Frostbite is somewhat easier to detect, but can lead to loss of limbs in some cases. Frostbite is characterized by skin damage that can go all the way to the bone, typically affecting the nose, ears, cheeks, fingers, or toes. To protect against frostbite, cover up all parts of the body when leaving the house and immediately get indoors if your skin starts to redden, turn dark or even ache.
Seniors should hire a professional to look after their property. Each winter, seniors put themselves at great risk of injury when they attempt to shovel their own driveways and walkways. Because the strength of our bones begins to deteriorate as we age, a fall for a typical senior citizen will result in far more damage than it would for a younger person or child. Rather than risk personal injury, hire a professional to clean up your driveway and walkways should it snow. Oftentimes, landscapers provide this service during the winter months.
Older people should also modify any items needed for getting around. For instance if you need to walk with a cane, modify the cane before the winter weather hits. A metal grip on the bottom of the cane will increase stability. In addition, if the hand grip is worn, replace it with a fresh grip to help you maintain balance should you be forced to walk on patches of ice.
This is an interesting note, but seniors should remove their shoes when entering their home during winter weather. If possible, keep a bench or chair inside the doorway you most use when entering your home. This will provide a place for you to sit down and remove your shoes when entering the home. Frequently, after a snowstorm, snow or ice will attach to shoes, only to melt once a person enters the warmer air of the house. If you keep your shoes on when coming in from the cold, this ice or snow will melt throughout your home, creating a few slippery puddles in the process. This will leave you susceptible to falls and increase your risk of injury.
Another good suggestion is to exercise whenever possible. Regular exercise enables muscles to stay strong while maintaining coordination and balance. Each of these things will reduce the risk of injury not to mention benefit your overall health in the meantime.
Finally, the change in becoming a senior needs to be recognized. Embrace what you cannot change. If you're not a fan of winter, try to view it in a new light. Try taking up a wintertime activity such as skiing to enjoy the season.
The point is that caution in all things is important, but understanding how things have changed for seniors over their younger lives becomes more important as they get older.
The disabled...
Disabled individuals and seniors who have reduced mobility are often looking for ways to modify their living and working spaces to improve functionality. One of the areas typically given the most careful consideration is the bathroom.
According to United States National Health Statistics, roughly 200,000 bathroom-related accidents occur each year. Many of these accidents are falls. The Public Health Agency of Canada says that one in three seniors will experience a fall each year, and many seniors fall more than once. The bathroom and stairs are listed as particularly dangerous areas for falls.
Simple modifications can make the bathroom safer for someone with special needs. Here are some renovations to consider.
â¢Install grab bars in the shower and by the toilet. Bars enable an individual to steady himself or herself and provide support.
â¢Walk-in baths are available for those who have trouble stepping inside of a traditional bathtub. Most feature a waterproof swing-out door that enables the bather to simply walk into the bathtub enclosure. If a bathtub overhaul isn't an option, a comfortable bath seat can be used for showering.
â¢Only use bath mats that have secure, non-slip backings. Bath mats absorb dripped water and can help prevent falls on slippery tile floors. However, without a skid-resistant backing on the mat, the rug is rendered unsafe.
â¢Consider a raised toilet seat. Bending to sit on the commode and lifting oneself back to a standing position can be difficult for a person with a disability. A raised toilet seat reduces the distance an individual has to bend. Used in conjunction with a grab bar by the toilet, injuries can be reduced.
â¢Install a telephone inside of the bathroom in case of an emergency situation. A person who has fallen or is ill can easily reach the phone and contact a loved one or emergency services personnel.
â¢Clear out extraneous clutter. Most bathrooms are modest in size, which can make maneuvering challenging. Keeping the decor and accoutrements sparse reduces the chances of tripping.
â¢Install soap and shampoo holders at a comfortable height. Bending or reaching for bathing necessities can be dangerous when contending with slippery wet conditions. Keep products at a height that is convenient.
The lifestyle...
As the aging process progresses, most men begin making health a priority. But many of the health problems both men and women encounter as they age are the result of lifestyle choices they made when they were younger and continued to practice as they got older.
Fortunately, the human body has an amazing capacity to recuperate, meaning it's never too late to make lifestyle changes that can make a person's golden years more healthy and enjoyable. While the term "lifestyle change" can seem overwhelming, many of these changes are far easier to put into practice than it might seem.
â¢Watch your weight. Obesity levels have exceeded, reached or are approaching all-time highs in many developed nations. Obesity can be very harmful to adults approaching their senior years, as obesity increases a person's risk for diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, and heart disease.
Maintaining a healthy weight is one of the best things a person can do to avoid the series of problems that men and women can encounter as they get older. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) points out that defining a healthy weight depends on a number of individual factors. For example, age is a determining factor, as a healthy weight for an individual at 45 might not be considered healthy when that individual turns 60.
Because each person is unique, defining a healthy weight is something that should be discussed on a case-by-case basis with a physician. Past health history and physical activity level are significant factors in determining a healthy weight.
â¢Make dietary changes. To some, the thought of changing their diet is an unwelcome one. Because food is such a big part of most people's lives, this is often seen as the most difficult change to make. However, a series of subtle changes as opposed to a massive dietary overhaul can do the trick.
While many people eat healthily during their three meals per day, it's the in-between meals hours where diet often suffers the most. Snacks high in saturated fat can be very unhealthy. By switching snacks to a serving of fruits or vegetables, men and women can ensure they're getting their recommended servings each day, and may be reducing the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases as a result. The majority of fruits and vegetables are low in fat and calories, and also provide essential vitamins and minerals. The CDC offers a fruits and vegetables calculator on its Web site at www.cdc.gov.
â¢Be more active. Becoming more physically active is something many adults need to do. The CDC estimates that 50 percent of American men and women do not get enough physical activity to provide health benefits. Physicians recommend 30 minutes of daily, moderate physical exercise. While finding the time can be a tough, 30 minutes, the length of a typical television sitcom, really is not much time at all.
Those who haven't been active in a while need to ease back into being physically active, perhaps starting with a daily walk on flat ground and then gradually tailoring a routine that is more challenging and beneficial as the body acclimates itself to daily activity.
â¢Recognize and deal with stress. Stress can be very harmful to all men and women. The negative side effects of stress are both physical and mental. Stress can lead to excess weight gain, which, as previously mentioned, can increase the likelihood of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, and diabetes. While stress is a fact of life for most, both in their professional and private lives, it's important to recognize that stress can be very detrimental. Though there are no guaranteed and foolproof ways to reduce and manage stress, research has shown that exercise has proven a reliable source of stress relief for many people.
â¢Finally, recognize your limitations. Embrace the fact that some things you used to do, you just can't do anymore.

I play soccer twice a week, run and workout every day for roughly 2 hours. I have used a number of different types of workout pants, nylon, cotton, polyester blends and none have been as satisfying as these. I was pleasantly surprised by the woven material design and like the stylish design. The pants provide outstanding protection from the cold and comfort for extended wear. I would highly recommend these pants to anyone and everyone looking for products of this type. I have two pairs now and purchased a pair for my son.

text: From:Peter Dreier <dreier at oxy.edu> Friends and Colleagues, My article, "The 50 Most Influential Progressives of the 20th Century," is the cover story in the current (October 4) issue of The Nation magazine. · You can read my Introduction to the list here: http://www.thenation.com/article/154816/fifty-most-influential-progressives-intro · The Nation has posted a slide show with photos and bios of the 50 individuals. Here's the link: http://www.thenation.com/slideshow/154631/slide-show-fifty-most-influential-progressives-20th-century-1#node-154631. The list appears in three parts (as slideshows) today, tomorrow, and Monday. The slide show also includes my list of "further reading" about each person as well as links to articles that many of them wrote for The Nation over the years. · The entire article will be available on-line on Tuesday, linked here: http://www.thenation.com/issue/october-4-2010. The hard copy of the magazine will be on newstands and in mailboxes next week. · There will, of course, be much room for dispute about who belongs on the list. On Monday, The Nation will ask readers to nominate names that I missed, which the magazine will prominently post as well. With your help we also hope to begin a list of notable progressive of the twenty-first century. So please check out the list and get your nominations ready for Monday. As I write in my article, 100 years ago, any soapbox orator who called for women's suffrage, laws protecting the environment, an end to lynching, workers' right to form unions, a progressive income tax, a federal minimum wage, old-age insurance, the eight-hour workday and government--subsidized healthcare would be considered an impractical utopian dreamer or a dangerous socialist. Now we take these ideas for granted. The radical ideas of one generation are often the common sense of the next. When that happens, give credit to the activists and movements that fought to take those ideas from the margins to the mainstream. We all stand on the shoulders of earlier generations of radicals and reformers who challenged the status quo of their day. Unfortunately, most Americans know little of this progressive history. It isn't taught in most high schools. You can't find it on the major television networks or even on the History Channel. Indeed, our history is under siege. In popular media, the most persistent interpreter of America's radical past is Glenn Beck, who teaches viewers a wildly inaccurate history of unions, civil rights and the American left. Beck argues, for example, that the civil rights movement "has been perverted and distorted" by people claiming that Martin Luther King Jr. supported "redistribution of wealth." In fact, King did call for a "radical redistribution of economic power." Using his famous chalkboard, Beck draws connections between various people and organizations, and defines them as radicals, Marxists, socialists, revolution-aries, leftists, progressives or social justice activists--all of which leads inexorably to Barack Obama. Drawing on writings by conspiracy theorists and white supremacists, Beck presents a misleading version of America's radical family tree. Many historians, including Howard Zinn in his classic A People's History of the United States and Eric Foner in The Story of American Freedom, have chronicled the story of America's utopians, radicals and reformers. Every generation needs to retell this story, reinterpret it and use it to help shape the present and future. Unless Americans know this history, they'll have little understanding of how far we've come, how we got here and how progress was made by a combination of grassroots movements and reformers. The list includes fifty people--listed chronologically in terms of their early important accomplishments--who helped change America in a more progressive direction during the twentieth century by organizing movements, pushing for radical reforms and popularizing progressive ideas. They are not equally famous, but they are all leaders who spurred others to action. Most were not single-issue activists but were involved in broad crusades for economic and social justice, revealing the many connections among different movements across generations. Most were organizers and activists, but the list includes academics, lawyers and Supreme Court justices, artists and musicians who also played important roles in key movements. The list includes people who spent most of their lives as activists for change--long-distance runners, not sprinters. Elected officials have been excluded, as I explain in my introduction. At a moment, when Glenn Beck and the right have hijacked progressivism as dangerous, it is more important than ever that we engage in a real discussion about the accomplishments of true progressives. I encourage you to read, discuss, let us know who you would include, and most importantly, share the feature with your friends and colleagues. I'll give you the first five here: Eugene Debs; Jane Addams; Louis Brandeis; Florence Kelley; John Dewey. For the rest, please click over to the first of the three slideshows: http://www.thenation.com/slideshow/154631/slide-show-fifty-most-influential-progressives-20th-century-1#node-154631. I've already heard that some professors around the country will be using the article in their classes. I'm eager to hear reactions from people about the list. Thanks - and enjoy!

There's a common misconception that a vegan diet is also an expensive one, but I don't think that has to be the case at all! Sure, if you eat lots of fake meat products and load up your cart with out of season veggies, a vegan diet can definitely break the bank. If an omnivore ate nothing bit filet mignon and fancy cheeses, that would get pretty expensive too, right?
The keys to stocking a vegan pantry without maxing out your food budget is pretty simple: eat real food, and cook from scratch when you can. Does that seem easier said than done? Don't fret! Here are some tips and tricks for eating a healthy, vegan diet without spending too much money or giving up too much precious free time.
1. Cook from Scratch
Cooking from scratch probably sounds time-consuming, but with a bit of planning it's very easy to work this into your schedule. Pre-processing your food can go a long way. I don't mean canning, though. I mean soaking beans and chopping veggies. When you get home from the store, cut up your veggies before you put them away in the fridge. If you know you want to make a bean dish, soak the beans overnight to speed up cooking time. It's so much easier to make a meal after a long day when some of the prepwork is already done.
2. Essential Cooking Tools
The right tools can help you save a ton of time and money in the kitchen. Here are the things my kitchen would be empty without:
- Rice cooker. Get one that includes a steamer basket. You won't be sorry.
- Slow cooker. Choose one that's the right size for your family. If there are just two of you, you don't need a giant slow cooker. For a big family, size it up so that you can cook a whole meal in there.
- Food processor or blender. Mincing garlic and making sauces is a breeze if you have a good food processor.

Source of ancient radiation traced back to exploding black holes
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- January 22, 2013
HERE'S another one to add to your apocalypse fears: Gamma radiation from exploding black holes.
And we've already been hit - in the Middle Ages.
Last year scientists found evidence that an enormous blast of radiation had ripped through the Earth's atmosphere in the 8th Century. But they did not know why - until now.
A supernova would be the obvious cause. But the remnants of such a huge nearby explosion would still be visible.
It's not there.
Now, a study points the finger at two intensely-dense neutron stars or black holes merging in a cataclysmic collision.
The event lasts a few seconds. The impact is galaxy-wide.
The study, published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, examines the possible causes of unusual radioactive materials found in Japan and Antarctica.

The Other Martin of Perth Posted at 10:52 AM January 22, 2013
Speculation reported as science. Yes there is evidence that this COULD have happened - but not proof that it DID HAPPEN. This is part of the reason climate science is not believed. The scientists should be railing against this misreporting of their discipline - it brings it into disrepute. For example - Now we have a hypothesis (Gamma ray burst) please can they tell us what experient(s) they are going to perform to confirm this hypothesis? None - it is just an untested hypothesis. Might as well say it was aliens - I can't prove that either.
