At times, President Barack Obama appeared to be unwilling to engage forcefully with Governor Romney. There were instances where he garbled and trip underneath his words. He seemed listless and bored. And he seemed unwilling to call out Governor Romney whenever he told an obvious lie. It is my belief and to those who are not part of the American political punditry that the Romney-Ryan Presidential ticket is the most extreme in many years, certainly in my lifetime. Its a marriage made in heaven for those who believe in the Gordon Gekko/Ayn Rand way of life. Mr. Romneys goal on Wednesday night was to win back Moderates and he did so by reinventing himself one more time. He proclaimed that he is for regulations on Wall Street (he is not) He supports Medicare and Social Security as it is (Congressman Ryans budget calls for the end of both Medicare and Social Security as we know it) And he says he would like to work with Democrats (Governor, check with the far-right ideologues in your party and see if its okay if you can play in the same playground with the Democrats) Governor Romney also said he would slash 1 trillion of the federal budget by getting rid of Big Bird. When in reality PBS funding makes up .00014% of the annual budget. He said his health care plan covers those with pre-existing conditions. Not true. His plan leaves 89 million in the dust. And one of the more egregious lies he told was that his 5 trillion dollar tax cut wasnt a 5 trillion dollar tax cut. And when Governor Romney wasnt busy being the Madonna of the political world by reinventing himself yet again, the President of the United States was in typical naïve fashion.
Mr. Obama strongly believes in his brand of hope and change. That is to go above and beyond the bitter partisan politics of the 1990s. But by doing that he refuses to call out a lie when its a lie. Or, move the conversation away from the austerity mania thats gripped the Washington press corps. During the debate the President did not bring up Mr. Romneys tenure at Bain Capital. Nor did he mention the 47 percent comments that Governor Romney made in front of a group of political dunces (A.K.A. his wealthy donors) nor did he make a strong enough case for the role of Government. The ghost of Ronald Reagan still haunts this country. And if Mr. Obama would like to establish himself as a transformative figure like the 40th President of the United States, then it would behoove him to do opposite of Mr. Reagan by presenting a strong and definitive case for the role of Government rather than continuing to move to the center-right whenever a Republican calls him a Socialist.
While its true that the economy is slowly getting better, its still in a precarious situation. The President of the United States is not in a position where he is solely in the drivers seat headed to a resounding victory. On the other hand, Governor Romney is proving that you need no shame in order to win the hearts and minds of the American public. On Wednesday night, Governor Romney presented the American people with a new Mitt Romney that was more repulsive and more arrogant than ever, and for one night it actually worked.
But if you want to know the truth about these Presidential debates, ask Senator John Kerry, who won all three debates against President George W. Bush in 2004, if they called him President of the United States at the end of the day.

CONYERS -- If Alcovy's Zachary Floyd could have played the back nine at Cherokee Run the same way he played the front nine, he would've won the 18-hole Open Boys 15-18 division rather than finishing tied for seventh in the Atlanta Junior Golf tournament on Tuesday.

After a 63-year-old Craigsville woman became violently ill Thursday, the Augusta County Sheriff's Office charged her 13-year-old daughter with poisoning the woman.
The teen is charged with adulteration of food, a Class 3 felony that carries a potential prison term of five to 20 years if the girl is tried as an adult.
Authorities suspect the girl put ant poison, and possibly tick and flea poison, in her adoptive mother's food beginning Wednesday night and into Thursday afternoon. Investigator Paul McCormick of the sheriff's office said the poison was allegedly placed in the woman's apple ...

An earthquake, also known as a quake, tremor or temblor, is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. The seismicity, seismism or seismic activity of an area refers to the frequency, type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time.
At the Earth's surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by shaking and sometimes displacement of the ground. When the epicenter of a large earthquake is located offshore, the seabed may be displaced sufficiently to cause a tsunami. Earthquakes can also trigger landslides, and occasionally volcanic activity.
Magnitude-5.3 earthquake hits Inner Mongolia
Most Popular
China earthquake watchers said a magnitude-5.3 earthquake hit Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on Monday afternoon, as national disaster relief efforts were under way in quake-devastated Sichuan province.
The US Geological Survey says on its website the magnitude of the quake was 5.0.
The earthquake's epicentre was 80 kilometres from Tongliao city, close to the border of Liaoning province, and the depth of the hypocentre was six kilometres, according to China Earthquake Network Centre.
The quake jolted the northern province a little past 5pm, causing tremors in multiple locations in nearby Liaoning and Jilin provinces, the Centre said.

Protect your child from online predators
You can minimize the risk of a child meeting an online predator by taking some simple steps:
Many web sites offer users the opportunity to set up an online profile where they can provide information about themselves. However, this information can be accessed and used by predators. One way to protect your child's privacy is for him or her to avoid these online profiles. Usually, the online information is requested for advertising purposes, and your child is not required to complete a profile in order to participate in online activities.
Adults who are seeking to exploit children spend countless hours in chat rooms. Many experts believe that chat rooms are not safe for children, particularly young children. If you decide to allow your children to enter chat rooms, make sure your decision is based on their age and maturity. Children who are allowed into chat rooms need additional supervision.
Like email and chat rooms, instant messaging (or "IMing") can be used to communicate secretly. Children often use abbreviations and code (such as "POS" which means "parent over shoulder") to change the course of the conversation and to keep parents from understanding online conversations. Click here for a list of abbreviations used in chat rooms and instant messaging.
Computers make it easy to send and share photographs, but it should be done carefully. Children should not send photos to anyone, including other children, without parental approval. You should also avoid posting photographs of children on sites that might be accessible to predators, including so-called modeling sites.
Predators can use screen names to help them track down a child. Make sure that your child's screen name does not include personal information such as name, home address, or school name.
Experts recommend that parents share an email account with their child, or maintain access to their child's email account and check it frequently. You might feel this is too intrusive, but its not. A computer is different from a diary or a journal. A journal contains private thoughts that are not communicated to others. However, emails, chatting and instant messaging are an open window to your child's life, carrying information to and from your home.
You should place your computer in a central room of the house, in order to monitor what your child is doing online. The computer screen should face out, into the room, so it is easy for you to see. Develop a list of family rules for using the Internet (see sample Family Rules) and post it next to the computer.
Children want to be treated as adults, and they feel entitled to privacy. But with a computer, you can go too far in trying to respect your child's privacy. Children should not have the expectation that everything they do on a computer will be considered personal and confidential.

Massie's RuPaul's Drag Race Season 2 – The Grand Finale
After Eliminations last week, three Drag Queens remain, and in the workroom, Juju, Tyra, and Raven discuss the times they felt they were going to be eliminated.
Later, Santino and Meryl enter the room to let the Queens know that for their final challenge, they will be co-starring with Ru in his latest music video Jealous of my Boogie, which will be inspired by bitchy cat-fights.
Each Queen will have a dance section, an over-the-top cat fight with Ru, and must help design two looks inspired by "80s power bitch fashion." (Did I ever mention how much I loved the 80's? Besides producing me and a Mets championship in the same year, it also brought about more one hit wonders than I can name, Michael Jackson, the best teen films ever, a little Raging Bull and I also hear some sort of wall came down in Berlin. Jaja)
Great Expectations
The ladies have to first learn their dance routine, which is inspired by the iconic 80's TV show, Dynasty. (Omg, these bitches can work heels like no one's business. But, I never saw an episode of Dynasty. Only 80's show I know well is Cheers.)
While teaching them the choreography, their instructor notices that Raven is slow to pick up the routine and Tyra is monotone with her attitude. That concerns him (That has been concerning viewers all season).
After rehearsal, Juju asks if anyone ever thought they were going to be in a Rupaul video, growing up. Everyone says no, including Juju, who says she thought she was going to be a doctor. (How do you take a turn from doctor to drag queen?)
Later, each Queen gets one-on-one time with Ru, where she asks them about their experience throughout the competition.
Tyra is first and she constantly brings up her son (This felt more like he was trying to get a sympathy vote, to be honest.)
Next is Raven and she reveals a more vulnerable side, lamenting that he always ends up being the one that suffers when he enters a relationship. Ru, wisely advises, "Expectations lead to resentments." (Mhmm, Ru is wise beyond his years)
Then it's Juju's turn, and she tells Ru about all the times she was made fun of, and always having to answer to "faggot." (Ohh!! Ouch. I think that word might be more offensive then "nigger," or perhaps as equal)
Cat Fight
Afterward, it's time to shoot the cat-fight sequence with Ru, directed by Mathu Andersen (A cute older gay. Shame he isn't bi).
This scene has the girls going backstage and confronting Ru about their needs, which causes Rupaul to slap them silly – just like a daytime soap.
Raven is up first and she forgets her lines a few times (She's getting old, what can we expect?).
Tyra is second, and she is her usual dry self until she mistakes Mathu's advice, "when she slaps you be really hurt", for "be really hood", and proceeds to ask him, "Hood, like how hood?" (Jajaja, you know Brits/Aussie's and their accent sometimes, that shit really did sound like he was saying hood.)
But Ru actually likes the concept and Tyra and Ru both start acting like hood-rats.
Juju is last, and as always, she is over-confident and even says,"I was a theatre major, honey. I know what to do" (Just like you knew how to sing? Bitch please)
Juju ends up being over the top, and Mathu simply states, "Juju is a drag clown."
The shooting of the fighting-dance sequence is next, and it is uneventful, until the queens got really into character, and actually started fighting. Things got catty and wigs were pulled off, and at one point Juju even got her eyes hit with a heel.
They cut the fight scene short, since these Queens seemed like they wanted to kill one another.
Lastly, the Queens move on to create their 80's look, and only Raven really knows how to dress for the decade – since she grew up in it.
Juju opines, "All I know is 80's style is tacky, it's huge ass shoulder pads, it's big unruly ugly hair, really tiny waists, and fat asses" (Lmao. I would have aced this challenge, and not because I'm from Joisey and some people who don't know any better still think we are stuck in the 80's.)
The day for the final challenge arrives, and each girl views how well they did during the video shoot. The judges then deliberate who showed be crowned Americas Next Drag Superstar, and decide that the winner should be… Tyra Sanchez! (Ok this is anti-climatic, as everyone already knew she would win.)
Tyra wasn't expecting the news however, and she is so overcome with emotion, she is unable to breathe, and ends up falling to the floor. (Mel pointed out to me that it was the "best reaction from a contestant on a reality TV show, EVER." I am going to have to agree, as you could tell that she was genuinely surprised she won.)
Congrats to Tyra!
Drag Race Reunion
The reunion aired right after the show, so here is an abridgment…
Sonique admitted that she hasn't been happy for a very long time, because she is not a man but a woman, so she has begun the process of transition. (Lord, he was fine as a man, and now she's going to be a full-fledged woman? Women everywhere are in trouble, because this bitch is HOTTTTTT.)
Tati brought the realness hard, she even stated that people just want to label her a pretty face but she explains, "as long as I have a dick between my legs, and a wig on my head, I'm a drag queen" (Is it odd that I found that line so hot? Lol. I love this bitch)
Tati also went off on Raven and tells her that she constantly picked on her because she is jealous, insecure, and ugly on the inside. They are able to talk things out, however and they even hug it out at the end. (I was kind of hoping a bitch-slap would occur during their argument, because Raven deserves a real slap.)
We also learned that Tyra has been able to get full custody of his son, and she isn't an annoying self-absorbed bitch anymore.
Lastly, Pandora won the Miss Congeniality Award for fan favorite (She deserved that, as she is loveable, sweet, and full of laughs)

What is an appropriate level of defense spending, when the federal budget is strained, we are struggling to climb out of a severe recession, and the United States faces few major military threats?
Pentagon spending has nearly doubled in the past decade - not including the extra billions sunk into Iraq and Afghanistan. This military spending spree is one of the reasons that U.S. debt has risen to $16 trillion.
We are in a historically new situation.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have finally drawn to an end. We should ask ourselves; can we preserve essential programs and make smart cuts to the military? Do we need such a large active duty military? The Blue Angels are great but can we afford them?
Do we need so many bases in Europe, Japan or around the world? Does it make sense to spend two billion a year on recruiting?
Can`t we cut back on unneeded weapons systems? There are weapons systems that the military doesn`t want but politicians are forcing upon them. Are they really needed?
Can`t some of our tax dollars be diverted from the military industrial complex to infrastructure, education or paying down the national debt?
We can`t fund the Pentagon by borrowing anymore. Now a dollar that isn't cut from the military budget is a dollar that will be cut from the domestic budget.
If you don't want food stamps or educational funding to be cut, if you don't want funding for mothers' and infants' nutrition to be cut, if you don't want Medicare or Social Security benefits to be cut, write or call your representative and urge a yes vote on amendments to make reasonable cuts to the military budget.

Only when natural gas and/or renewables are used to generate energy, will our air emissions be improved.

I have my doubts that clean coal will come to the rescue, or renewables will be cheap enough anytime soon; so natural gas must be the way to go. Maybe the grid can be improved, but at probably a very high cost, to either maintain all those miles and miles and miles of expensive existing electric wires, and replace them with miles and miles and miles of even more expensive electric wires. Only onsite solar or wind sometime in the future (Can todays solar panels covering the whole roof and walls of a building, power that building? I doubt it, but Wal-Mart seems interested, so stay tuned.), or maybe onsite natural gas generators(they are everywhere on my street, and some of them I think I have heard are reasonably quiet) will rid us of the need to maintain miles and miles and miles of electric wires to each and every residence, office, or factory. I wonder if any reduction in vehicle rejected energy has been made with electric vehicles(natural gas vehicles anyone?), other than from just the fact that the vehicle is much smaller in size. So with smaller vehicles you naturally get lower air emissions. But has any real improvement been made in the air emissions efficiency of our energy infrastructure up until today? Consider explosive, dirty old, and sometimes leaky natural gas, to achieve reduced air emissions. Natural gas(currently in 50% of U.S. homes) is more expensive than coal, so it will need help from our government to take the lead in increasing it's energy demand, that is if you don't want our two hundred year supply of dirty old coal continuing to take the lead in powering our economy and fouling our air, like the air quality China and even Paris France(the Eiffel Tower could barely be seen by the tourists recently) have experienced in last few months. Other than natural gas, nothing has really improved our energy infrastructure in terms of reducing air emissions, at a cost that we can afford. Natural gas vehicles, quiet natural gas power generators for the home, office, and factory, and new natural gas pipelines, could be the answer. A tax credit to make this happen, and we will be on our way to cleaner air, reduced trade deficits, more GDP, maybe even less debt, and other good things I haven't even thought of. Otherwise take a look at the pictures over the internet of the poor air quality in China and Paris France recently. Because if we don't watch out, that could be what our air looks like as well.
" The ITS Davis scenarios study shows that a 60% to 80% reduction in greenhouse gases in the transportation sector is possible by 2050, and that many of the changes would result in cost savings to consumers."
GHG is code for CO2 because auto emissions of HC, CO, and NO2 are at very low levels and continue to go down.
Cost savings to consumers is fantasy health care cost reductions. Given that the savings are real, decrease taxes for medicare and other government health programs. Find out instantly that more not less funding is required.
This is Babble by a left wing thinker that lives in a liberal bubble. Garbage double talk. Why is this published here?
For my own part, anyone who cites California's government as a positive example in anything instantly loses all credibility. They go from potential respectability to tin-foil hatted lunatic.
This clown must think cars can run on pixie dust.
1. Climatologists are not scientists because they do not test their hypotheses. Instead they fit their model to their hypothesis.
2. Climatologists have no data. They say they lost it all.
3. Climatologists refuse to share their models.
4. There cannot be a greenhouse effect without a glass enclosure.
5. Carbon dioxide cannot trap heat. Any radiation absorbed by carbon dioxide is transmitted to other molecules in the atmosphere by collision at the speed of sound.
6. Water vapor absorbs more radiation than carbon dioxide. Climatologists paradoxically do not complain about water vapor in the atmosphere.
7. The earth radiates heat into space according to an equation dependent on the temperature of the earth. This is called the black body radiation equation. Carbon dioxide does not change the average temperature of the atmosphere.
8. Carbon dioxide is essential for plant growth. Extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a fertilizer.
Even for a report coming from the IPCC, it's shocking how incredibly simpleminded are this guys conclusions.
Vehicle emissions are down primarily because the world's leftists, and Obama in particular, have been
working overtime to tamper down business activity. They are happiest when they are destroying commerce. Never mind that in the process, they are increasing poverty and spreading misery.
Guy is selling his services ... his retoric is emotional hype masquerading as logic. None of the carbon fuel alternatives is cost effective over the life cycle and cost has a high correlation with fuel consumed during the life cycle. If it costs more that is because it uses more fuel somewhere in the life cycle between production, utilization and decommission (just a rule of thumb but a good indicator none the less). Furthermore, overnment involvement skews the costs and hides the inefficiences of the "clean" solutions.
Also, CO2 impact is maximized at very low concentrations that are far below any historical levels so reductions have no impact on climate (study in 1957).
Largest SCAM ever perpetrated on mankind.
BTW; nuclear produces no CO2 (;->)
For some reasons articles mentioning hydrogen-powered vehicles never include words such as "high-pressure tank", "spark", "fire", "explosion", "Hindenburg", "fatality", "3rd degree burn" and the like. Can anybody explain this?
We lie firmly in the grip of the darkest perversity. If Americans, the most heroic group in history, had not been rendered vile by the disease of socialism, the so-called robber barons would have been allowed to thrive and to deliver us from the crime of using fossil-fuels-for-energy long ago. The towering genius of the capitalists who amassed gargantuan amounts of capital and then invested and brilliantly re-invested their wealth into the their grand projects would have made trillions by inventing in the science and technologies for electric cars, trucks, airplanes and heavy equipment -- all superior in performance and far lower in price than the absurdly complex and crappy stuff we use today. There would be no possible gripe for CO2 since we would be manufacturing little of it. But this is a dark age, after all, and vile ignorance will persist; socialism will prevail until utter collapse, followed by another bout with the darkest autocracy. This is what we choose time after time. We cannot help ourselves since we behave as mice and not men. Only in the far distant future, after chapter upon chapter of appalling behaviour, will a few men emerge into an age of enlightenment that none of us living can imagine. We alive today will be regarded as the most savage primitives that we in fact are.
The United States was an anomaly in the midst of a dark age, holding the light up to an escape from hell. Democracy, dependably, has closed that portal.
Daniel Sperling reports happy nonsense. We are in the grip of third world monsters who block our escape to the future absolutely. There is no chance that we will throw off their hold upon us, preferring the endless hell instead.
Americans have become the greatest threat to humanity. The world quakes at the thought of Iran with nukes. How about Hugo Chavez with nukes? From the "indispensable nation" to the intolerable nation. We will be nuked because we are an intolerable threat to survival.
Here's some unsurprising non-news: Anthropogenic climate change is a hoax. Goverments, crony capitalists, and court intellectuals cling to the lie, because it offers the promise of power and plunder.

Wow. Another view from inside the academic aquarium. All about projected futures and very little about the obvious failures and inefficiencies of the alt energy present. Is no amount of economic dislocation too much for these people? Will they always be blind to the ecological problems brought about by the alternatives they seek to mandate? Is the average citizen to be banished to poverty in order to serve the gods of the movement? Tragic. Much of America and the world is working to feed itself. Sadly, it must do so while burdened by the economic dislocations brought about by religious adherence to the alt energy dogma.
I really feel used. I clicked on an article whose headline was "The Surprising News About Vehicle Emissions." There was nothing "Surprising." There wasn't even "News." This "The Experts" section of WSJ.com is vapid and useless. I expect more and better from you, WSJ.
What about the part where pigs can fly?
The words "greenhouse gases" are a sure tip-off that the writer doesn't know what he's talking about...the strongest and most abundant greenhouse gas is water vapor. Sure, let's try to regulate that! I wonder who funds Mr. Sperling's research...perhaps the Obama Administration with a vested interest in promoting the warmist religion?
"changes that were thought to be highly unlikely even 10 years ago. Between 2010 and 2030, world-wide energy efficiency improvements in vehicles are expected to improve by 30% to 50%."
But, but,but, the automotive manufacturer's said it could not be done 10 years ago. Just like the car companies said air bags would cost 5000 per vehicle.
So how come this article was under a section called "experts?" It should have been something under "how to grow the lower class." There is a volcano erupting in Indonesia this weekend that is spewing out more CO2 than mankind will in the next 200 years. And more than mankind has created since the beginning of time. Doesn't matter to those with the weaker, easily brainwashed, minds. The "controlables." All those Al Gore types will always find something to use against them, to control them, which will make them profit and powerful. As this is the current brainwash topic of choice for them we need to "coin" a label for the Al Gores, Obamas, Clintons, Soros's: How about "Carbonarchs?" People that have a huge carbon footprint that tell others not to. Hmm. This would at least cover any homeowner in Santa Monica, Ca. Beverly Hills, Bell Aire, Malibu, you know, all the places the Hollywood Celebes live.
@Mankind how about Carbonarchists, covers them better I think.
The Eco-nutters college of Cardinals have released another Green Papal Bull *&^% statement,
The oceans aren't rising any faster than normal for tween ice ages... it isn't getting any warmer,
But still the cult of Anti-CO2 wants even the Unchurched rational to pay tithes to all levels of the Green CO2n game, local state, federal and international enslavement of former republics to fight an imaginary foe, It is a "drug" civil War without any sick or dead addicts, producing CO2 justs makes individuals and nations wealthy and Freeer.....
What magic repealed the laws of thermodynamics, how can heat(energy) magically travel to the Earth, but not be radiated into Space, Insulation effects work both ways silly Eco-nutters...
High energy Photon gaussian distribution curves have more energy than the heat sinks, Entropy INCREASES, GET OVER IT! CO2 isn't a magic molecule that transmits more energy from space to the ground, than the other direction, if it did, why hasn't Venus ignited into a brown dwarf star from the magic blanket of CO2?
If the CO2 worked as an magic one-way insulator, wouldn't average differences lessened from the global blanket effect, daytime highs would be lower, and night time lows higher EVERY where, whilst there would less delta temperature equator to poles.... Oops that isn't happening, damn facts just keep REFUTING CO2 forced AGW......
The warmist Messiah will NEVER come because it is Popular Mania without any Saints, angels, Gods,miracles or Facts
Deniers just won't quit. Keep posting nonsense down here....
Take a physics class again...... stop listening to fox, rush, Levin, etc. they are not scientists, they are making money off you fools.....
Carolinajoe, I did take engineering physics at an university two semesters....
And I still learning...
IF CO2 molecules behaved as believed by the IPCC panelists, I could build magic ovens out of co2 gases = free energy = perpetual motion = Unicorn science.
Warmists just won't check to see if there is any facts that support their FAITH based belief system....
Keep Your CULT out of my Government and my pocketbook.
To paraphrase Lenin," Co2 forced AGW is a tenant of the Dogma of Eco-Nuttery used to Drug the Masses into compliance.
Peter F. Foley, your scientific knowledge is lacking. Explain how a greenhouse maintains a higher temperature than its outdoor surroundings in sunlight? Insulation effects work both ways, right? Shouldn't a greenhouse radiate away the same amount of energy it absorbs? Explain that!
Sander, Greenhouses don't work by insulation, but by Isolation, the air inside the glass isn't allow to mix with the 100,000 ft of air above or to the sides.... instead of heating several hundred or thousands of feet of atmosphere outside the glass the solar energy raise the material inside to a higher temp than the ground exposed to wind/ air movements, Greenhouses, LIKE CO2 CAN'T CREATE HEAT ENERGY, the green house is warmer because the remaining air outside is COLDER, Total energy with or W/O is = If we built a world covering "green house" the average temp of the atmosphere "above" the glass would drop, the average temp of the inside and outside would be =...
p.S. greenhouses are always using up their CO2..... but stay warm without it......hmmm?
why is the inside of a pot on a stove burner hotter than air above the pot? Duh!
if you would wrap yourself in saran wrap while sun bathing, you could literally cook yourself because you stopped most of the convective and conductive flow of heat energy into the air around your skin...but the total energy inside the Earth's atmosphere hadn't changed..
Greenhouse effect was a faulty meme from before AGW was even imagined.
Think of the sun as a campfire, our air as a thin blanket, your body rotates every day radiating the heat gained in all six directions, increasing the blanket thickness lowers heat gain(second power function) faster than heat loss, a FOURTH power function.....Ooooh.
IF CO2 actually worked as a magic one way door for Photons, where are the industrial, or military applications, (why hasn't China melted yet..?)
A final giggle, CO2 the "roach Motel of molecules", Photons can come through toward the center of the Earth but can't travel outward......Its Magic, you Know....
I lied, You know during the last Dark Green Age, Eco-Nutter faithful hunted the unicorns to extinction because their horns emitted CO2 .
Peter, the most serious arguments against climate change have to do with the validity of the models and the accuracy of historical data. You are arguing against fundamental high-school and college freshman physics which have nothing to do with climate change theory and which are not under question at all.
But lets just start by addressing the argument on your own flawed premises. If the inside of a greenhouse rises to a higher temperature because it can't mix with the cooler air outside, wouldn't that equally apply to the whole atmosphere, which likewise has no wind/air movements from anything outside of the atmosphere? There is no air in space to mix with the warmer air in our atmosphere to cool the earth. So isn't the earth its own greenhouse that can't use convection with any material outside it to cool itself?
The fact that plants in greenhouses consume CO2 has little to do with a greenhouse warming. You could set up a greenhouse with nothing but air in it, and it would also get hotter in the sun than the surroundings.
Yes, if you wrapped yourself with saran wrap you would get warmer, and for the reason you give. But have you noticed the wraps they give people at the end of a marathon or a cold football game to stay warm. Not only does it thermally insulate you but it is also shiny, which has the effect of trapping infrared radiation, which is in your favor if you are warmer than the surroundings when you want to stay warm.
And no, there is no violation of entropy or a magic one way door in any of this -- there is no Maxwell's Demon. And none is necessary for CO2 to trap heat. It all follows the law of physics and it's a basic process that is NOT in controversy whatsoever. If you want to argue effectively about climate change, start looking at weaknesses in the model, not basic physics for goodness sake.
OK, a little basic science for you. One reason CO2 traps heat in our situation is that it is transparent to light, but not to infrared. What do you think happens when light energy hits a black surface and no light is reflected? It heats up the black surface, right? And then the black surface gets very hot. And how does te black surface reradiate its heat? It reradiates it as infrared, NOT light. So light energy got changed into infrared energy, eletromagnetic energy of a lower frequency, or photons of a lower energy. And that energy does not escape back out into space as easily as light got it. Got it? And this is not a violation of entropy.
Sander, SHOW ME HOW I AM WRONG! FYI Perpetual motion is impossible. one way heat flows don't exist--Are there any heat pumps that use the magic properties of Eco-nutter CO2 science????
Sander are you a high functioning moron? People GENERATE HEAT INTERNALLY at a higher output then the Sun per cubic meter(stere) that is how heat blankets work, P.S. they don't work on dead people once all the molecules are broken down into their basic elements/molecules. The Earth does have 2 watts/Meterxmeter nuke radiation, a tiny fraction of the 1.4 K Watts /meter squared of sunlight above the atmosphere.
They wrap satellites in tin/gold to lower the heat gain.... refuting your misguided physics...
The energy of Photons is directly related to their frequency, short wavelengths wiggle at higher speeds(energy is V squared). the "magic" blanket can't keep as much energy in because genius, heat is radiating in all directions all the time while solar is only coming in from straight line on the daylight side,,,Oops did I pop your magic bubble?
Sun light is White light, nearly prefect white noise frequency spread, so solar light shining on the miracle CO2 would keep out MORE ENERGY THAN IT STOPS FROM RETURNING TO SPACE!!!! Oh dear, I broke the Eco-nutters magic world view---boo hoo.
If going from 200 ppm to 400ppm, gives us 290 degrees kelvin instead of 288, couldn't i build a fusion furnace surrounded by Co2 at 999,000 ppm ---~ 9000 degree Kelvin increase??? with out any input but sunlight......
Peter, you are right, one-way heat flows don't exist without the dissipation of an energy source, as in a heat pump. I didn't say otherwise.
Yes, people generate heat internally by the consumption of fuel containing energy in a lower entropy form. Basic thermodynamics.
Yes, they wrap satellites in foil to lower heat gain, and ALSO to lower heat dissipation to the blackness of space.
And no, sunlight is not perfectly spread white noise. It has higher power radiation at some frequencies than others. Different stars are identifiable by their differing spectrum distributions and the sun is only one such star. But that doesn't really affect the argument here.
You are right in saying that CO2 would keep out more energy than it stops from returning to space -- BUT THIS IS ONLY TRUE FOR INFRARED. Again, the principle is that the energy that gets through is light, which heats the ground, which reradiates it as infrared, which is what is trapped.
CO2 permits light through, but it traps infrared. This is not a Maxwell's Demon or one way magic anything. It is like the electricity going into your oven -- electricity easily flows into the oven, is changed to ANOTHER form of energy by the heating element, and is therefore trapped. Again, this is not a perpetual motion machine or a magic one-way flow of heat because external energy in lower entropy form was expended to heat the oven above room temperature.
Your "fusion furnace" idea would allow for more heating, but not up to 9,000 K. And the reason is simple -- anything as hot as 9,000 K is going to shine very brightly in the light spectrum. In fact, it will be brighter than the surface of the sun, which is only at around 6,000 K. So the CO2 "blanket" would not be able to trap that energy because CO2 traps infrared, not light. And so the the "fusion furnace" interior would come to an equilibrium quite a bit cooler than either of those two temperatures, depending on a number of other factors.

Age: 57
Name: Elsie H
Location: Arlington, VA
When I found out I had diabetes I was totally upset. I went into a funk. Now I do whatever I have to do to maintain a good blood sugar.
When I found out I had diabetes I was totally upset. I didn't need this on top of all the other health problems I already had. Aids, Heart diesease, high blood pressure, Hepititis-C, high cholestorol and basically up to my eyebrows with enough to keep regulated as far as my health is concerned.
After all these years just having to deal with my health in general, I really felt as if I was doing a good job at taking care of myself. I went into a funk. I did not want to accept diabetes as being a part of my life too.
I asked God what else could I handle. I started to get upset and tried to remember what had I done wrong lately to deserve this. For about two months I ate everything that I knew was not good for me or stuff I liked to eat. I started to feel really tired and weak, my eyesight changed and it was hard for me to see.
I had sent away for the free meters when I first found out but it was only because my daughter insisted I do so. I took my blood sugar and it was 560 and I called my Daughter and she came and took me to the hospital. I found out I could have Died,but I didnt,right then and there I realized that God has kept me her for a very special.very very important reason. So, I've accepted Gods grace and love for me.
I do whatever I have to do to maintain a good blood sugar. Its now between 98 and 145. I see my nutritionist on a regular, I joined the dlife.com network and even found some pretty good recipes. At 57, I'm walking more, lost 25 pounds(yeah). I feel better and whatever happens I'll deal with it because for the first time I not only know I got God as well as my family on my side I ALSO REALIZE IT.

Officer Down: Officer William Eric Freeman
Officer Down: William Eric Freeman - [Huntsville, Alabama]
Age: 36
Additional Information: Officer Freeman had served with the Huntsville Police Department for 3 years. He is survived by his wife and five children.
Ala. officer fatally shot trying to arrest drunk driver
The Associated Press
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - A Huntsville police officer shot in the head in an arrest attempt died from his wound.
At a news conference, police said Officer William Eric Freeman, 36, of Hazel Green, who was married and had five children, died
Reyes said Freeman and officer Kevin Lambert had been called to investigate a traffic accident with injuries at 8:43 p.m. When they
arrived at 8:51 p.m., the chief said, they found Shipp sitting on the curb.
As the officers tried to arrest him for driving under the influence, Reyes said, Shipp pulled a pistol and shot Freeman in
the head.
Lambert struggled with Shipp, Reyes said, and two bystanders helped Lambert subdue him.

Only Her Imperial Highness doesn't see the obloquy,—sarcasm, cynicism and disparagement being royalty's every-day diet.
Why, then, has her memory been covered through centuries with scorn and obloquy?
Is not the effect of what you have said to expose her to scorn and obloquy who is dearer to us than any other creature?
Abuse and obloquy were heaped upon the Ministers from every quarter.
Let Harriet Kingdon bear the obloquy of the crime—it can't harm her now—besides, she largely deserves it.
A storm of obloquy and persecution was raised against Garrison.
There are flatteries and intrusions beside which censure is sweet and obloquy would be welcome.
He would drag out his own life in misery, and obloquy, indeed, but what of that?
We shall have obstacles to grapple with and obloquy to face; but the hour will come, and we shall not have long to wait for it.
This is a miserable subterfuge to shift the obloquy from the judgment.

Had a pre Bulls game dinner at GT Fish and Oyster last night. Dinner was the unfortunate highlight of the evening.
The Boka folks do their best to channel The Neptune Oyster House in River North and for the most part are succesful. I am very happy to have a place like GT Fish and Oyster in our town. The menu is a collection of small plates and they advise diners to order 2 or 3 dishes per person and share. The offerings are split into hot and cold plates and we tried a variety of each. The consensus at our table was that the hot dishes were superior to the cold, with the exception of their most excellent oysters.
We started with the Fish Dip, a must have according to our server. The fish dip itself was great, smoked haddock with all of the umami that you hope for from a dish like this. Unfortunately they served this dish with taro root chips that just didnt hold up. They were like extra thin potato chips that just crumbled in your hand. A ritz cracker would have been better. I hope they figure out some other way for people to get the fish dip in their mouth because it was really tasty.
My least favorite offering was the Foie Gras and Shrimp Terrine. The miniscule terrine was served on a piece of toasted brioche that overwhelmed the tiny portion placed on top. The apricot chutney, imho, further overpowered the dish. I missed the taste and mouth feel of the terrine itelf. This was a miss.
We also had the Baja Shrimp Bruschetta which was very good but slightly out of balance with large amounts of avocado dominating each bite. I really enjoyed the shrimpy parts which were refreshing little bites bursting with citrus and cilantro. Overall a nice dish, just slightly off
The oysters were sublime. We had a selection of all of the offerings which were impecibly fresh, masterfully shucked and drenched in liquor. Served with your choice of hot sauce, a ponzu mignonette or gt's take on cocktail sauce, i recommend going bare. The ponzu was the best sauce option, but the star was the oyster and i saw no reason to foul the generous liquour overflowing each shell. My very favorites were the Kusshi and Tatamagouche. Everything else was a very close second. These were damn good bivalves.
Hot entrees were awesome. I loved their version of Clam Chowder for everything that it is not. This was not your typical gloopy, thickened mess. This was a delicate creamy smoky bacon enhanced version like nothing else that i have had in chicago. Next time Ill order a bowl.
The lobster roll was also terrific. Not overly mayo'd, perfect bun and lots of sweet lobster meat. Just great.
Also loved the Crab Agnolotti which was stuffed with dungeness crab and topped with a black tobiko. The broth was a close second to the chowder and I could have eaten a whole bowl. Really nice.
Finally, we tried the crab cake which was also really great (read NO FILLER) When done correctly a crab cake is a thing of beauty and this one really hit the mark. Served with a very sharp pepper aoili and delicious pickled onions. My only complaint is the size which can either be attributed to how delicious it was and my desire for more, or thrift.
Overall, I really liked this place. they are going for an elegant Nantucket vibe with the place and it is really nice yet casual. Communal dining tables and friendly, knowledgeable service. It ain't cheap--but what is afterall. I love this kind of place and it really hasn't existed in Chicago until very recently. I am looking forward to a return.

LINCOLN — Ask blacksmith Brian Anderson, and the South Starksboro metalworker will tell you that a cool, hard lump of iron and a soft piece of clay aren't as different as you might think.
Sure, you may have to heat iron to 2,500 degrees before it becomes malleable — and malleable only with the force of a hammer and tongs. But at that point, he said, the distinction between hard and soft, clay and iron, all but disappears.

MIDDLEBURY — The Town Hall Theater has served as a hotbed for collaboration between townspeople and Middlebury College students since its opening 18 months ago.
Those on both sides of the equation say performances by college groups are drawing a whole new audience when they are staged off-campus. In addition, shows where students act alongside community members are breaking down boundaries between formerly separate arts communities.
MIDDLEBURY — When Bill Sims Jr. and Mark LaVoie perform at Middlebury College and the Art House in the Marble Works this Thursday and Friday, it won't be their first time playing together. Since Sims, a guitarist and vocalist from New York City, first met Bristol native and harmonica virtuoso LaVoie at a blues festival in Burlington back in 1992, their mutual interest in folk music and the blues has blossomed into a 17-year friendship and collaboration.
BRIDPORT — Jill Vickers still remembers walking into the small hotel in a remote town in northern Afghanistan shoulder-to-shoulder with a handful of other young American women. Snowdrifts, she remembered, had accumulated in the halls of the hotel, and when the women made their way to their door, they realized they would be spending the night in their sleeping bags on the floor in an unheated room.
Welcome to Afghanistan in 1969.
VERGENNES — Earlier this month, Vergennes Opera House officials learned they would get a key piece of funding in their quest to install sprinklers in the City Hall theater: The Vermont Arts Council awarded the opera house a $20,000 Cultural Facilities Grant to support the project.
After adding the grant to a $32,588 Vermont Downtown Development Board tax credit the theater was granted in 2009, opera house executive director Jackson Evans said board members are confident they can raise the rest of the money for the $65,000 project, which they hope will begin next month.
Meredith Wilson's classical musical about traveling salesman Harold Hill and a small town in Iowa marched onto the Town Hall Theater stage last week, performing to audiences that sold out as many as three weeks before the show opened.
The musical, directed by Doug Anderson and featuring a cast of 46, was months in the making, and Addison Independent photographer Trent Campbell tagged along from auditions to opening night. His photos, as well as Anderson's commentary about the musical, are collected in our behind-the-scenes look at the making of the "The Music Man."
The Independent took an early look at Mount Abraham High School's production of "Oklahoma!" More than 100 Abraham students will be on stage in Bristol starting Thursday night for the school's production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's classic musical "Oklahoma!" The show, the first collaboration for Rodgers and Hammerstein, garnered a special Pulitzer Prize after it opened on Broadway in 1943. Mount Abraham also produced the show in 1981 and 1995. The 2009 show runs Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m. with a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday.

BRISTOL — Against the backdrop of a steady beat of African drums, Soriba Simbo Camara leapt and twisted, his body, contorting rhythmically to the sound. He carried a cow's tail in one hand, a symbol of power in Guinean culture, and wore a traditional West African shirt. The dance was feverish but graceful, and at its end, Camara catapulted his body from the ground in a tremendous jump.
Camara wiped the sheen of sweat from his brow, and caught his breath.
"It keeps you young," he said, grinning just as he had all through the dance.
RIPTON — Ensconced in a former farmhouse tucked away amid the tree-filled slopes of Ripton, one could already argue that attending classes at the North Branch School is akin to going back to nature.
But the more than two-dozen students and faculty at North Branch took that concept a step further last week, as part of their contribution to the more than 5,200 worldwide global warming action events that occurred on Oct. 24 through the efforts of 350.org.
The Little City Players opened the second half of their 2009 season last Thursday with a production of Susan Sandler's "Crossing Delancey." The show, which was popularized in a 1988 movie starring Amy Irving and Peter Riegert, tells the story of a New York City single whose life is complicated by her grandmother and the matchmaker who team up to find her a husband. The Vergennes production features Hannah Weisman, Janet Stambolian, Anna Sun, King Milne and Glen Eastman. "Crossing Delancey" continues Oct. 29-31 at the Vergennes Opera House.

Barbara's songs are personal stories put to music. Some of her
songs have appeared in film and on TV.
Barbara most recently acted in Roland Emmerich's new film, White House Down, to be released July 2013.
Barbara is working on a memoir and also has a screenplay in development...
Being the daughter of a logger and growing up in the wilds of BC's temperate rainforest ...
At the age of 16, Barbara was singing and playing her guitar in church basements in Gibsons Landing, one of the many small towns in Western Canada she lived in growing up.
A teacher at high school saw her potential as a performer and cast her in the Tennessee Williams' play, Suddenly Last Summer, put on by the local drama club. As Katherine, Barbara won the best actress award at the provincial drama festival, which brought her the opportunity to study theatre at Vancouver City College.
There she met John Gray who invited her to join his company Tamahnous, where she did repertory theatre for 5 years, before going on to a career in television and film.
As the singer/songwriter and musician, Barbara has released a CD titled "Forgiving Ocean", recorded at Joe's Garage, studio of the late Frank Zappa.

Memory Leakage - Is "System.gc()" good to help solve this?

I am having a lot of memory leakage problems with an
developed web site which runs on a JRUN 3.1 application server.
I wondered do you know if using "System.gc()" is a good wayt to help solve memory leakage problems and if so, then would I have to implement it in every
class (seems a bit of a pain to have to do) or can I just write a class which uses this method and takes care of memory usage for the whole application server?
Any help on this or any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

System.gc() would not help much.
gc() just tells the system that you want the GarbageCollector to run. It does not guarantee that GC will run. (also i read that the JVM is not required to implement GC....eventhough i think a JVMwithout GC wouldnt be very usefull). But normally GC runs once in a while so memory that can be freed will be freed.
if GC runs, then it will only free the memory of those Objects that have no reachable reference.
memory leaks occur if you keep references to objects eventhough you dont need them anymore (eg. static references or keep reference to a collection which holds objects that should be freed), if you dont close streams, leave connections open and so on.
i guess review of your code and/or a profiler would be better help (im no expert in this!)

Cheers for the info karl koch>
Here's another weird point which some of you might be able to explain.
In My Windows Task Manager programme. I monitor the memory levels used by my Java processes.
My web site was running Javaw.exe processes, but I've now changed to run a java.exe.
I leave the java.exe process running in a dos window on my web server.
If my memory levels are high for my java.exe process. Then If I minimize my dos window (where my java.exe is running) and then maximize this window again, my memory levels drop from my java.exe in my Task Manager processes.
Can any of you explain why this happens. I am currently using this manual way to keep my memory levels low. Does minimising my dos window somehow initiate Garbage Collection, and if so is thee some way I can program this to happen automatically?

Wow, Fergus! I never knew that! Does it happen on Linux as well as windows? Mac OS X? My app was running through javaw and was using 45 megs of ram. I minimized it and it went down to 1.2 megs, then when I maximized it again, it only came up to 7 megs.
Every other GUI Windows app (non-java) except for IE also has this same "ability." What is it that makes the Java app do this? Is there a way to cause this same type of memory saving to happen without minimizing? (I'm assuming this is a non-console app only that does this - i.e. it's a swing thing).

I Wish Dan I knew why this happens. Also I have not tried this in Linux as only done so in Windows.
Obviously it's not the most stable way of keeping memory levels low, but as I could not get any other way to work I had to use this method temporarily.
If anyone can explain why this works, and if it is possible to create a program which constantly releases memory as in the window minimising and maximising function then any info on this would be great.
Cheers for the help.

I think there is a way to specify an option for debugging that should tell you more about what's going on. Check the non-standard command-line options for java.
I agree. Here's the link:

Cardiovascular imaging represents 29% of all imaging workload and at least a third of the several billion medical imaging examinations performed worldwide. Yet, several studies have indicated that up to 15% of cardiac imaging exams are inappropriate based on Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC), issued by the American College of Cardiology (ACC). Similarly, a recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows that 22.5% patients who have received implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICDs) may not have met ACC guidelines
AIM's Cardiology Solution currently provides management of cardiovascular imaging services such as Stress Echocardiography (SE), Resting Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE) and Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) with anticipated expansion to include cardiac catheterizations and coronary interventions such as Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) and Pacemakers.
Through the Cardiology Solution, AIM clients have realized immediate and impactful results including reductions of 10% to 20% compared to pre-program unmanaged utilization of echocardiography exams.
AIM's Cardiology Solution covers over 19 million members in 20 states.

Announcing: Juxtapoz @ Outside Lands 2013Music // Tuesday, August 06, 2013
As we have the past two years, Juxtapoz is back at San Francisco's major music and art festival, Outside Lands, curating the visual art that you will see around Golden Gate Park from August 9-11, 2013. This year, we have added a few surprises to our line-up, as well as created a few new products at our tent...
Wall Therapy 2013Street Art // Wednesday, July 24, 2013
Tomorrow, Juxtapoz will be heading over to Rochester, New York to bring you exclusive coverage of what's happening at the week long mural and arts festival known as Wall Therapy. Now in its third year, the South Wedge neighborhood is the primary focus for local and international artists to provide inspiration in the form of murals. With over 30 artists participating, we expect to see a diverse amount of work from artists such as Connor Harrington (Juxtapoz December 2012 cover artist), Lady Pink, Faith47, Daleast, Labrona, Freddy Sam, and many more. Stay posted on our exclusive coverage.

Aryz, January 2013Vault // Tuesday, March 05, 2013
Very few artists over the past five years have generated collective attention more than the young Spanish muralist and fine artist, Aryz. There's no envy, nor pretention, but artists around the world speak of Aryz in a way that is rare in contemporary art; everyone just wants to see what he will do next. with the unassailable fact that Aryz has taken this movement, he and I agreed this interview should be comfortably labeled "contemporary muralism," given it's a novel perspective of comic book characteristics and detailed texture rarely seen on six stories of concrete.
Mike Shine, March 2013Vault // Tuesday, March 05, 2013
It's 1970 and a Seven-year old boy happens upon a weird Russian clown at a carnival. Weird Clown grants Boy the life of his dreams. Boy signs the deal in blood. Weird Clown erases the bargain from Boy's mind. But Weird Clown makes good on it; Boy unwittingly lives the dream life, as agreed. Fast forward forty years, we find that the boy is an artist who has become renowned for creating elaborate installations and performances about a mysterious Russian clown. The subconscious mind is a powerful thing, isn't it? For the boy has subliminally recalled the carnival meeting, the bargain, even the clown's correct name: Dr. Pyotr Mastolf Ilyas. Or "Flotsam," for short.
Joram Roukes, April 2013Vault // Tuesday, March 12, 2013
Creating pieces both intimidating and inventive, 29-year old Dutch painter, Joram Roukes works out of the small town of Groningen in northern Netherlands. With airy layers and dream-like surrealist landscapes, Roukes' stream-of-consciousness style creates multiple layers of content as well as medium. Fluidly designed, elements of Roukes' creatures and narratives extrude and protrude from one another. "I am engaged in what the viewer will see and think. I think the paintings steer but not dictate. That is what I like to do, to confuse, allowing the viewer to express or project their point of view on what they see."
