Human Health Risk Assessment
Human health risk assessment seeks to estimate the nature and probability of adverse health effects in humans who may be exposed to chemicals in contaminated environmental media, now or in the future. The key components of the human health risk assessment process are outlined below; click on a topic for more detailed information and related resources and guidance documents. Examples of completed EPA Region 8 human health risk assessments are provided at the bottom of this page.
Note: Different methods are used to characterize human exposure to lead and risks from lead than those used for most other chemicals. Relevant guidance and tools for evaluating lead risks to children and adults can be found on the Evaluation of Risks from Lead page.
Site Conceptual Model: In this step, the risk assessor prepares a schematic diagram identifying the primary contamination sources and the potential exposure pathways (e.g., ingestion of contaminated water, inhalation of chemicals in air) by which different types of human populations (e.g., resident, workers, recreational visitors) might come into contact with contaminated media. This conceptual model is used to plan the human health risk assessment and associated data collection activities.
Exposure Assessment: The risk assessor identifies who is likely to be exposed at a site, the contaminants of potential concern (COPCs), the pathways by which exposure may occur, and the magnitude of the exposure (i.e., the dose). In some cases, exposure assessment may involve the use of probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) methods and/or biomonitoring.
Toxicity Assessment: The risk assessor compiles information on the types of adverse effects that each chemical of potential concern can cause, and how those effects depend on exposure amount (dose), route of exposure (oral, inhalation, dermal), and exposure duration. Note that adjusting toxicity values based on the site-specific bioavailability of chemicals is discussed in a separate section, Bioavailability.
Risk Characterization: The risk assessor combines the information on exposure and toxicity to predict the types of effects that may occur and to provide information on the probability or severity of those effects. Note that human exposure to and risk from lead and asbestos are characterized using a somewhat different approach than described above and are discussed in separate independent sections: Evaluation of Risks from Lead and Evaluation of Risks from Asbestos.
Uncertainty Analysis: The risk assessor identifies the main sources of uncertainty in the risk estimates presented in the risk characterization step and evaluates the likely direction and magnitude of the error that may be introduced by the uncertainties. This may be done either in a qualitative discussion or may be performed quantitatively.
Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund (RAGS), Volume 1
Human Health Evaluation Manual
EPA developed detailed guidance for use at Superfund sites starting in 1989. The basic concepts of risk assessment and recommended strategies and approaches are presented in Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund Volume I, Part A (usually referred to as RAGS A).
Since that time, EPA has issued a series of additional guidance documents that provide more specialized guidance of various aspects of the risk assessment process, including:
- Supplement to Part A: Community Involvement in Superfund Risk Assessments
- RAGS I Part B: Development of Risk-based Preliminary Remediation Goals
- RAGS I Part C: Risk Evaluation of Remedial Alternatives
- RAGS I Part D: Standardized Planning, Reporting, and Review of Superfund Risk Assessments
- RAGS I Part E: Supplemental Guidance for Dermal Risk Assessment, Final
EPA's Framework for Human Health Risk Assessment to Inform Decision Making
As part of an agency-wide program by EPA's Risk Assessment Forum, the Final Framework for Human Health Risk Assessment to Inform Decision Making was released in April 2014 to describe a framework for conducting human health risk assessments that are responsive to the needs of EPA's decision making process.
Examples of Completed Region 8 Human Health Risk Assessments
Note: The strategies employed in the risk assessments below are based on site-specific considerations and may not be applicable to all sites.
- Baseline Human Health Risk Assessment – Vasquez Boulevard and I-70 Superfund Site (Denver, Colo., August 2001)
- Baseline Human Health Risk Assessment – Ogden Railroad Yard Superfund Site (Ogden, Utah, January 2003)
- Baseline Human Health Risk Assessment – Standard Mine Superfund Site (Gunnison County, Colo., March 2008)
- Baseline Human Health Risk Assessment – Eureka Mills Superfund Site (Eureka, Utah, September 2002)
- Baseline Human Health Risk Assessment – Intermountain Waste Oil Refinery Superfund Site (Bountiful, Utah, May 2002)

NEW ORLEANS -- Western Kentucky coach Dennis Felton has a scheduled interview with Georgia's president Sunday, his second interview with the school this weekend in New Orleans.
Sources say Felton is one of three finalists for the position along with Creighton's Dana Altman and former Chicago Bulls coach Tim Floyd. All three interviewed for the position within the past week. Altman isn't certain what his next move will be and whether or not he'll stay in the chase for the job.
Georgia is searching for a coach to replace Jim Harrick Sr.
Floyd withdrew from the Clemson search last week. He's not sure if he wants to jump back into coaching just yet.
What else we're hearing:
Kansas: Danny Manning, who won a title with the Jayhawks in 1988, could make a cameo appearance Monday for the title game. So, too, could former Jayhawk Drew Gooden, who bolted for the NBA last season. The word out of KU was that former North Carolina coach Dean Smith, Roy Williams' mentor, might come to see if his former assistant will cut down the nets. If he's in attendance, expect Williams to be a bit uptight. Smith is the one person who can make the usual superior Williams look like an apprentice because he reveres him so much.
On the street: The best sighting so far of the Final Four came Saturday afternoon. on a walk between the Hilton Hotel (the coaches' headquarters) and the Superdome, who was spotted? None other than Tony Cole. The former Georgia guard was wearing, of all things, a University of Georgia T-shirt and was actually excited to see an ESPN reporter. He said he was feeling good and looking to head to try and get started on a pro career. Cole's contention of wrongdoing at Georgia led to Harrick being suspended and the school withdrawing from the SEC and NCAA Tournaments.
Dayton: Look for Michigan State assistant coach Brian Gregory and Drexel coach Bruiser Flint to be in the mix to replace Dayton's Oliver Purnell, who left for Clemson. Flint knows the president of the school well after meeting him when he was at Saint Joseph', where Flint was a player in the 1980s.
Pittsburgh: Former associate head coach Jamie Dixon is supposed to meet with Pittsburgh chancellor Mark Nordenberg on Sunday. He's the choice of former coach Ben Howland and the Panthers' players, but that doesn't mean the school will tab Dixon. Memphis coach John Calipari still hasn't heard from the administration. Wake Forest's Skip Prosser would likely listen, but N.C. State's Herb Sendek, who like Prosser and Calipari is a Pittsburgh native, has made it clear through school officials that he has no intentions of leaving Raleigh.
East Tennessee State: Former coach Ed DeChellis isn't sure what the school will do to replace him after he left for Penn State. But he is certain that whoever gets the job will walk into a great situation, with eight of nine players returning. East Tennessee State lost to Wake Forest by three points in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. DeChellis, a former Penn State assistant, said Saturday that he wouldn't have gotten the Nittany Lions job if he didn't get in the NCAAs.
The NABC meeting: The coaches association is still squawking about the five/eight scholarship limitation (no more than five scholarships in a single season and no more than eight in two seasons), but the NCAA presidents don't want to move on this issue. The coaches say the rule is debilitating, especially when players transfer.
The coaches would also like to see a three-year mandatory stay in college before declaring for the NBA draft. But the NBA Players Association is barely ready to budge on a 20-year minimum age limit. A number of players who go to prep school sometimes are 20 after their freshman seasons.
The NCAA: The organization is being proactive about international players and sent out a packet to 25 federations to tell them the new rules for foreign players. The rules are simple: if a player plays on a pro team or plays with a pro and they receive more than the necessary expenses then they won't be eligible to play in college. The old rule would give them a maximum of an eight-game penalty. International coaches at the Final Four say this will likely be the beginning of the end of foreign players coming to U.S. colleges unless they leave their families at 16 to go to American high school or prep schools.
Illinois State: Dixon, Gregory and Xavier assistant Sean Miller are in the coaching mix, with Miller getting a late interview and possibly moving to the forefront. Gregory could be waiting for something more like Dayton.
South Florida: Florida assistant Anthony Grant is starting to look like the favorite. Holy Cross coach Ralph Willard has also been mentioned as has Western Michigan's Robert McCullum.
Courtside: Kansas coach Roy Williams had one of the better lines when yelling at an official Saturday when the game was a blowout and he had his scrubs in the game, "We're paying you $2,000 a game to work the entire game.''

Please update your blogrolls, links, Google Readers, whatever it takes so that you don't miss a single word of my over-excited ramblings.
As you will see, the layout is very different. I grew to like the appearance of this blog a lot, but I wanted to do something different for this site. Still, I'm not quite in love with the current theme. It could change. Then again, I could fall in love. It's almost like a romantic comedy, except there's no Tom Hanks or Meg Ryan.

The Men Without Faces …Published May 20, 2009 News , Publications 4 Comments
… came for his father just after dinnertime.
That's the first line of my story "Incomplete" which is featured today at Every Day Fiction.
In other news, our hermit crab Sid passed away today. He'd had a bad molt and had become lethargic for quite some time. Then, suddenly, pieces of him started falling off. We noticed a claw here, a leg there. We figured that was it.
Then, late last night, my wife noticed he had fallen out of his shell. She got real close to terrarium and — even she doesn't know why — tapped the glass.
Sid moved.
She screamed.
We spent about an hour trying to do what we could for him. Putting him in water, trying to put him back in a shell, whatever it took.
But he was just barely hanging on.
So we took him to the vet today and had him put down.
Sad day to say the least.
"Incomplete" is dedicated to you, buddy.
Drum Roll, PleasePublished May 18, 2009 Hint Fiction 17 Comments
Before we begin, I again want to thank everyone who either entered the Hint Fiction Contest or mentioned it on their blogs/websites/Twitter/Facebook/etc. Each and every one of you helped propel this thing to a new level and I am forever grateful.
Now let's get to the winners.
First, the random drawing. When I initially thought about doing a second contest to help spread the word, I figured maybe a half dozen people would enter. Instead 22 people entered, and that's not counting those who just mentioned the contest on their blogs for the hell of it.
So 22 names in the hat for a random drawing to win a trade paperback copy of The Best of Every Day Fiction 2008.
I wrote each name on a separate Post-It, folded each into quarters, put those quarters into a hat, shook the hat up, and then I had my wife pick, and she picked …
David Miller!
Congratulations, David. E-mail me your contact info and we'll ship the anthology off to you posthaste.
Now for the main event. As a reminder, all entries were read blindly. We had 207 entries. Gay and I narrowed those 207 down to 40. Then we narrowed those 40 down to 20. It was no easy task. We agonized over each pick. After all, the top twenty will be included in the eventual anthology published by Norton, so we needed them to be outstanding (for more insight, check out this post).
And so we picked our 20, sent them to Stewart O'Nan, and waited for his reply.
Well, folks, he has replied, picking three winners and three honorable mentions. Of the top three winners he had this to say: "I liked those three because they feel like they could open up in a bunch of different directions, all of them tantalizing."
That's the idea here with Hint Fiction, giving just a bit of a much larger, more complex story and forcing the reader to fill in the rest.
So now, without further adieu …
Continue reading 'Drum Roll, Please'
And They're Off!Published May 15, 2009 Hint Fiction 4 Comments
I've finally narrowed down the top 20 and forwarded them off to Stewart O'Nan. It's in his hands now.
It feels like the contest ended months ago when it's really only been about two weeks. I apologize for that. But, well, now that the secret of the anthology is out of the bag, I hope you'll understand. This is a big deal, and I wanted to make sure the stories picked for the top 20 are the very best they can be.
Now you're probably wondering how we narrowed down the entries.
First, though, I need to discuss what Hint Fiction is — or rather what it's become.
Inspired by Ernest Hemingway's six-word story — "For sale: baby shoes, never worn" — Hint Fiction is a story of 25 words or less that suggests a larger, more complex story.
Got that?
We received a good number of entries that were quite well done. Beautiful language, almost poetic in their execution.
But they weren't stories.
Some were very good stories, but they somehow managed to be self-sustained. Which, to be honest, is no small feat. It's quite impressive, but it's not Hint Fiction.
Hint Fiction is not objective. If you write a 100-word story, that's a drabble. A 50-word story, that's a dribble. But if you were to write 25-word or less story, that doesn't necessarily make it Hint Fiction.
The keyword in all of this is "hint" — you need to ask yourself, what are you hinting at? What is the bigger picture?
The thesis of the anthology, I've decided, is to prove that a story 25 word or less can have just as much impact as a story 2,500 words or longer.
That, of course, will all depend on the individual reader.
One interesting point to bring up is that there were some contest entries I loved at first. Gay loved certain entries at first too. But we may not have loved the same ones, and we talked about them, saying what worked for us and what didn't. Nine times out of ten, we were able to see the other person's point of view.
Or there were some stories that, on the initial read, were fantastic. But the more we read them, the more we began to see problems. Remember, one of the biggest challenges here is word choice. The idea of the story may have been brilliant, but the writer either rushed it or didn't fully understand what she or he was doing and, because of that, took a misstep that ultimately hurt the story.
We wanted stories that we could love.
We wanted stories that could be read different ways.
We wanted stories that we could keep returning to and that would keep surprising us.
We came up with twenty.
Three will be picked winners.
Here's wishing all of you good luck.
P.S. Sometime over the weekend I will start going through and deleting all the contest entries. Don't worry, I'll make sure to keep the contact info for those in the top twenty — even now as I write this I don't know who those writers are yet. There were so many great stories, I figure it'd be a shame to keep them stuck in the comments section of this here dusty blog. Send them out into the world. As far as I'm concerned, they were never officially "published" though I'm sure one or two editors may see it differently. That's up to you, but I just wanted to give a heads up to you gambling types, so you can make your bets for who will be placed in the top three.
Jack Kilborn And Blake Crouch Want To Murder YouPublished May 12, 2009 Miscellaneous 11 Comments
Well, okay, they don't want to murder you, but they definitely want to thrill the pants off you.
As some of you may remember, author Joe Konrath made this little piece of cyberspace the very first stop on his blog tour back in March. Every day since then he's been promoting his horror novel AFRAID, which he's published under the pseudonym Jack Kilborn. Recently he finished up a drop-in signing where he drove up the east coast, stopping at just over 200 bookstores. He even passed through my area last Friday and ended up crashing at my place, where we drank expensive micro-brew and talked shopped into the wee hours of the morning.
Now Joe (or Jack) has teamed up with author Blake Crouch for a special collaboration called SERIAL. Here's more from Joe's blog:
Remember the twin golden rules of hitchhiking?
# 1: Don't go hitchhiking, because the driver who picks you up could be certifiably crazy.
# 2: Don't pick up hitchhikers, because the traveler you pick up could be a raving nutcase.
So what if, on some dark, isolated road, Crazy #1 offered a ride to Nutcase #2?
When Blake Crouch (DESERT PLACES, ABANDONED) and Jack Kilborn (AFRAID, TRAPPED), face off, the result is SERIAL, a terrifying tale of hitchhiking gone terribly wrong. Like a deeply twisted version of an "After School Special," SERIAL is the single most persuasive public service announcement on the hazards of free car rides.
Beyond a thrilling piece of horrifying suspense, SERIAL is also a groundbreaking experiment in literary collaboration. Kilborn wrote the first part. Crouch wrote the second. And they wrote the third together over email in 100-word exchanges, not aware of each other's opening section. All bets were off, and may the best psychopath win.
F. Paul Wilson says, "SERIAL reads just like a Crouch or Kilborn novel: Full speed ahead, no flinching, no blinking, no brakes."
SERIAL contains the novella, SERIAL, a Q&A with Kilborn and Crouch, author bibliographies, and excerpts from their most recent and forthcoming works: Kilborn's AFRAID and my ABANDON.
And finally, a note/disclaimer from the authors:
SERIAL is a horror novella written by two of the most twisted minds in the world of horror fiction.
But just because it is 100% free doesn't mean you should automatically download it.
This is disturbing stuff. Perhaps too disturbing.
If you can handle horrific thrills, proceed at your own risk.
But if you suffer from anxiety attacks, nervous disorders, insomnia, nightmares or night terrors, heart palpitations, stomach problems, or are of an overly sensitive nature, you should read something else instead.
The authors are in no way responsible for any lost sleep, missed work, failed relationships, or difficulty in coping with life after you have read SERIAL. They will not pay for any therapy you may require as a result of reading SERIAL. They will not cradle you in their arms, rock you back and forth, and speak in soothing tones while you unsuccessfully try to forget SERIAL.
Yes, it's free. But free has its price.
You have been warned.
To check out the novella, click here. (SERIAL is located under "Book Extras" in the bottom right-hand corner of the page; you can download it either as a PDF file or there's also an ePub version of the book — the Sony eBook Reader format.)
And if that isn't good enough for you, there's even more free stuff to give away.
The first five people to leave a comment saying what their favorite horror movie is of all time will receive a free copy of AFRAID by Jack Kilborn (sorry to all my readers on the island of Mypos, this mini-contest is only open to residents of the US and Canada because the publisher will be shipping them direct).
Hint Makes HistoryPublished May 11, 2009 Hint Fiction , News , Press & Reviews 23 Comments
Sometimes things just happen, you know?
Not to be cliché, but had someone told me two months ago that Hint Fiction would be has big as it's become, I would have told them they were crazy (keep in mind at that point the idea of Hint Fiction hadn't even entered my brain). Then if that same someone had told me THIS would happen, I probably would have dragged them off to the loony bin myself:
From Publishers Marketplace:
Blogger and writer Robert Swartwood's HINT FICTION: an anthology, consisting of very, very, very, very short stories that cannot be more than 25 words, to Amy Cherry at Norton by Scott Miller at Trident Media Group.
Yeah, so that's pretty neat, huh? I've been sitting on this secret for almost three weeks now — the second day of the contest the publisher contacted me and my agent about possibly doing an anthology of Hint Fiction. As you can imagine, I was stunned. Am STILL stunned, to be honest, but, well, here we are.
Now a quick Q & A session:
I submitted a story to the contest. What does this mean for me?
Well, if you submitted to the Hint Fiction Contest, there's a chance your work may appear in the anthology. Last week Gay and I narrowed down the 200-plus entries to 40. Tonight we'll be narrowing those 40 down to about 20. Those 20 or so will be going to Stewart O'Nan; he'll pick his top three, but all 20 or so will be included in the anthology — that is, of course, if the writers of those entries will agree to giving permission to having their stories included.
But what if my story isn't picked?
Don't be discouraged. At some point in the future we'll have an open window for submissions. I don't know when, exactly, but you might as well start working on your stories now. Like the contest, writers will only be able to submit up to two stories. And like the contest, it won't matter who you are or where you've been published or what master's program you graduated from — we are judging the stories solely on quality and quality alone.
If my story is picked for the anthology, what do I get?
You means besides the pleasure of being in an anthology published by friggin' W.W. Norton? Well, I'm not quite sure yet. Most likely it will be a contributor's copy. So if you're not cool with that, save us time and don't submit.
That's it for now, folks. Much more to come.

Glacial Inception Delayed By Humans?Submitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Thu, 02/04/2016 - 14:06
Mixed in with the swirling cloud of misinformation about global warming is also a bit of blather regarding the onset of a new Ice Age. What the promoters of a new big freeze are talking about is a glacial period, since technically we are still in the midst of an ice age—the Pleistocene. A number of scientists have warned that the planet might be headed for a new period of glacial growth based on Earth's recent history. Over the past half million or so years there has been a series of short (15-20k year) warm period sandwiched between longer (70-100k year) glacial episodes. Make no mistake, global cooling is much worse than global warming, so this really matters to our descendants and the whole human race. Now, a new study in Nature says that we maybe off the hook, glacial wise. Not only that, human activity might be the reason.
Burning Dinosaurs & CO2Submitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Tue, 06/16/2015 - 11:45
The Triassic–Jurassic boundary 200 million years ago marked the beginning of the dinosaurs' dominance of the entire planet. Following the worst ever extinction event at the end of the Permian, 252 mya, dinosaurs started showing up in the fossil record around 245 mya but did not spread to all areas of the globe until the end of the Triassic. A new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) posits one possible explanation for why the spread of dinosaurs was stymied. Sadly, this interesting but not conclusive report was immediately seized upon by climate alarmists as a cautionary tale about atmospheric CO2 levels. A news item in Science online labels modern levels "alarming" and implies that a fiery fate, like the one that held the dinosaurs at bay for so long ago, awaits us all.
Credibility LostSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Fri, 06/05/2015 - 13:43
Climate alarmists are all atwitter over a new paper from researchers at NOAA/NCDC. In that paper the claim is made that the 18+ year pause in global warming is not real and that temperatures have been going up as expected. After more than a decade agonizing over the cause for the pause, desperately searching for the "missing" heat, dogmatic climate scientists have given up and simply declared the whole "hiatus" an accounting error. The temperature record in question is a kludged up global yearly average based on a hodgepodge of reporting stations, some on land and others at sea. In performing a "reanalysis" of the temperature record it was "discovered" that changes in the way temperatures were measured, particularly at sea, were systematically wrong, and "correcting" these readings causes the whole pesky pause thing to go away. What isn't mentioned are the other datasets that clearly show the pause is real, including two different satellite records. Has the climate catastrophe cabal given up all pretense of doing real science and decided to manipulate the data to give the answer they want? Many think so.
Fungi & Nitrous Oxide, The Forgotten Greenhouse GasSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Tue, 04/21/2015 - 11:59
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a known greenhouse gas (GHG) that is more potent than CO2 and is a contributing factor in ozone layer depletion, yet little has been published on natural sources of this compound. Despite the importance of fungi in several soil functions, the production of N2O by fungi has only been studied in a limited number of strains. A new report in the journal Nature has revealed that may types of fungi naturally produce N2O. Obviously this is more of that "settled science" the climate alarmists forgot to mention.
If At First You're Not Believed, Lie, Lie AgainSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Mon, 02/16/2015 - 13:26
Proving the old adage, if your first lie isn't believed lie again and make it a whopper, NASA GISS announced another study proclaiming imminent climate catastrophe. This time it's the US Southwest and the scourge is not just drought, it's Megadrought! The report predicts that decades-long droughts are likely to ravage the US Southwest and Great Plains within the next century. "This drying could be worse than any other in the past 1,000 years, including a 'megadrought' seven centuries ago that helped drive an ancient civilization to collapse," wails Nature online. But just how did the researchers come to this conclusion and what evidence do they base their predictions on? As it turns out the whole thing is a house of cards.
Celestial Collisions, Climate Change and ConsensusSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Mon, 12/08/2014 - 15:07
Despite efforts to correct and educate many ersatz climate experts, many persist in using consensus as an argument in favor of the failed theory of global warming caused by human CO2 emissions. From froth at the mouth fanboys on Twitter to empty headed politicians on network television, the cry comes: "what about the 97% consensus among scientists?" On occasion old, and evidently lazy, scientists revert to using "consensus" as an argument. Once again I will try to set the record straight when it comes to polls among scientists and scientific proof.
Review: Disasters & Climate Change by Roger Pielke, Jr.Submitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Thu, 11/06/2014 - 11:02
The Rightful Place of Science: Disasters & Climate Change is the latest book by Roger Pielke, Jr., noted political scientist and professor in the Environmental Studies Program and a Fellow of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES). In it he addresses the controversial subject of whether natural disasters are becoming more frequent and more fearsome due to manmade climate change. This short volume is an excellent summary of his work in this area and a reference that anyone serious about climate change should have on their shelf. After receiving an advance copy of the work, here is my review.
Climate Change TruthersSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Wed, 09/10/2014 - 14:37
You may be aware of a movement of conspiracy theorists labeled 9/11 truthers. These benighted souls refuse to believe that al-Qaeda terrorists intentionally crashed airplanes into the World Trade Center, killing thousands of innocent people. Instead they blame the government or other shady characters. Their beliefs are not important but the mindset exhibited by the truthers is. You see, they will not stand for any debunking of their theories or even doubts about their beliefs. In this way they are a reflection of the mindset that infects believers in anthropogenic global warming (AGW). Climate change true believers also will brook no dissent nor tolerate any deviation from their conviction that humanity is destroying Earth's climate through CO2 emissions. Obsession, irrational thought and religious adherence to unsubstantiated theories are not limited to political conspiracy nuts.
Half-truths, Lies & Climate ChangeSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Mon, 09/01/2014 - 13:23
It is no secret that there is much misinformation bandied about regarding climate change and the related subject of green energy. Half-truths and lies are spread by advocates on both sides of the debate, most often via the Internet. Recently, climate alarmists trumpeted a report claiming that 23% of the world's energy was now being supplied by renewable sources, clearly an attempt to bolster the claims of the wind and solar industry. At the same time, a report appeared that powering a car via electricity is 10 times less efficient than via fossil fuel. These are only two of the bogus, misleading reports to surface recently, promoted by both warmists and skeptics. Sadly, the public is caught in the middle without the scientific or technical background to judge the truth of such pronouncements.
Models & Statistics: A Toxic CombinationSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Mon, 07/07/2014 - 14:31
In 2013 a group of climate researchers published a study using statistics and the output of the latest crop of climate models. Their purpose was to show when surface temperatures could be expected to permanently depart from previous historical ranges. Such an event is called an expulsion. Camilo Mora et al. presented precise projections for when these unprecedented regional climates would emerge. Now a second group of researchers argue that their methodology produces artificially early dates at which specific regions will permanently experience unprecedented climates and artificially low uncertainty in those dates everywhere. This is an example of what happens when untrustworthy model outputs are combined with specious statistical methods. The resulting predictions are scary enough to be published in a major journal, but so false that even other climate scientists are moved to protest.
Big Bang Blunder and the Carbon Pollution CanardSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Wed, 06/04/2014 - 13:40
Hoards of non-scientists have been making a career out of pushing "settled science," particularly when it come to climate change, the eco-socialists' favorite excuse for dismantling the world's existing economic and industrial base. Unlike the notoriously squishy science of climate change, physics is viewed as being mature and on a more solid foundation, at least by those who are physicists. Given the recent furor caused by the IPCC and NCA reports, plus the US EPA's ham handed attempt to institute CO2 Cap & Trade without the agreement of Congress, it is instructional for scientific outsiders to review recent events in both fields. Read on, believers in the myth of settled science and those who think scientific questions are resolved by consensus.
Unsettled ScienceSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Wed, 05/07/2014 - 14:53
The science is settled, the President of the United States assures us. His pet scientists have produced yet another frightening climate report to prove it. Given this President's tenuous relationship with the truth on other matters, a citizen might pause to ask if the claim of settled science is, in fact, true. In the recent past scientific papers have discovered some "unexpected" phenomena that help to regulate climate. In fact, one of the climate change faithful proposed a mechanism affecting the jet stream that could be responsible for this winter's unexpected weather in the northern hemisphere. Only problem, a number of climate alarmist luminaries have dissented from her idea. Remember the consensus that was supposed to shut down all opposing opinions? Never mind. Another study shows statistically that there is no way to establish a human caused warming trend without another 100 years of observation. Of course, if you believe the climate catastrophists the world as we know it will have vanished by then. So is climate science really settled? Here are just some of the most recent indications that it is not.
Guest Essay by Dr. Craig D. IdsoSubmitted by admin on Sun, 04/20/2014 - 14:52
As this blog has previously noted, the mainstream media are all a twitter over the IPCC's latest screed, advising, no, demanding that governments around the world take decisive action to combat that mythical bugaboo, anthropogenic global warming. Their own supporters, including President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry, have been generating a lot of hot air about AGW but doing precious little, mainly because cooler heads in Congress have prevailed. What hasn't been widely presented are the counter arguments. The Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC), has issued its own report, Climate Change Reconsidered II: Biological Impacts, to counter the half truths and outright lies in the IPCC propaganda piece but it seems that information about the report has been suppressed. As a public service we proudly present an op-ed by Dr. Craig Idso, lead editor and scientist for the NIPCC.
The Other Climate ReportSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Mon, 04/14/2014 - 13:21
On March 31, 2014 the fifth in a series of scholarly reports produced by the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC), Climate Change Reconsidered II: Biological Impacts, was released to the public. While little reported in the main stream media, this new publication represents an independent, comprehensive, and authoritative report on the current state of climate science. It is an answer to the propaganda put out by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and its lackeys and a direct refutation that no real climate scientists dispute the conclusions of the climate change alarmists. For those who do not accept the claims of consensus science or the fatuous assurances that global warming is an imminent threat by vacuous politicians, this report sheds light on the real science behind global warming and its possible effects.
The Turning Of The TideSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Tue, 03/25/2014 - 13:52
Supporters of the CO2 driven theory of anthropogenic global warming (CAGW) are in full panic mode. The continued hiatus in global temperature increase has led to a flurry of statements denying "the pause," as climate scientists have named it. This new denialism even extends to international organizations like the WHO, that just recently claimed that global warming had not ceased, even though numerous organizations—including Britain's Meteorological Office, NASA, and the IPCC—have admitted that it has. Among climate change true believers there is a scramble on to "find the missing heat" that would explain the pause. Strangely, among these practitioners of group think there is no consensus about the cause of the pause. At the same time, the IPCC is about to release its latest screed regarding climate change and the leaks have been flowing fast and furious, saying there is dissent in the land of consensus. This may well be the turning of the tide on the greatest scientific hoax in history.

DENVER, CO - April 5 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Our goal is to help small businesses expand. Beyond the free equipment, everyone at iMAX Business Solutions is looking forward to helping the small business owners expand their business by offering all types of electronic payments.
Micro Business Development officially came into being on February 1, 2002 as a result of the merger between Colorado Capital Initiatives (CCI) and Colorado Microcredit (CMC). Both of these organizations were established in the mid 1990s after a great deal of research that indicated that grassroots micro-economic development would be an effective and efficient stimulus for low income neighborhoods and communities within Colorado. Microenterprise empowers participating individuals and their families both economically and socially. MBD's programs are currently available to entrepreneurs living or operating businesses in the seven metro Denver counties, Boulder County, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo.
About iMAX Business Solutions
iMAX Business Solutions' Split Rate technology automatically detects the type of card being presented and processes that card at the lower Split Rate of 1.29% for merchants who belong to the Program. Regular rates outside of the Split Rate Program range from 1.74% to as high as 3.49%. The company is located in Denver, CO. and has regional sales offices in San Diego, Fort Lauderdale, Montana and will soon open in Scottsdale, AZ. For more information, visit www.cmscreditcards.com for call (800) 828-7649.
About MicroBusiness Development Group
Micro Business Development is a leading force in economic justice for microentrepreneurs and an innovative model in microenterprise development. MBD strives to create economic opportunity and business growth by providing access to knowledge, resources, and business capital to under served entrepreneurs. The philosophy of MBD is that it is not enough to simply provide access to capital, but it is imperative that the entrepreneur has access to the development of necessary skills and resources required for a successful business.

Unskilled and Unaware: Why Stupid People Don't Know How Incompetent They Really Are.
* * * * * * *
Flaws in Reasoning and Arguments: Unskilled and Unaware
Overconfidence in Self-Assessment
By Austin Cline, About.com Guide
Being mistaken about something is not a flaw in a person's reasoning and neither is being unskilled in constructing or analyzing logical arguments. Where a flaw does occur, however, is in the fact that the worse a person is at such tasks, the less likely they are to realize it, the more likely they are to overestimate their abilities, and the less likely they are to realize that others' efforts are superior.
We don't need to speculate that such a connection might exist or rely upon anecdotal experiences we ourselves have had - Justin Kruger and David Dunning at Cornell University demonstrated it in psychological studies and published their findings in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology in an article entitled "Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments."
People tend to hold overly favorable views of their abilities in many social and intellectual domains. The authors suggest that this overestimation occurs, in part, because people who are unskilled in these domains suffer a dual burden: Not only do these people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it. Across 4 studies, the authors found that participants scoring in the bottom quartile on tests of humor, grammar, and logic grossly overestimated their test performance and ability. Although their test scores put them in the 12th percentile, they estimated themselves to be in the 62nd. Several analyses linked this miscalibration to deficits in metacognitive skill, or the capacity to distinguish accuracy from error. Paradoxically, improving the skills of participants, and thus increasing their metacognitive competence, helped them recognize the limitations of their abilities.
The more incompetent a person is at a given skill, the less likely they are to realize it because they also lack the metacognitive skills necessary to evaluate their performance. The authors liken this to the neurological condition known as anosognosia. The result of damage to the right side of the brain, sufferers of anosognosia are not only paralyzed on the left side of the body, but they are also unable to realize that they are paralyzed.
When asked to pick up something with their left hand, they fail to do so and offer weak rationalizations for this failure - like not hearing the instruction or simply being too tired. These patients are not lying to researchers; instead, they lack the ability to understand what plain and obvious evidence should tell them: they can't move their left hand or arm. If this is possible with physical situations, perhaps it also happens with purely psychological situations as well - and thus perhaps incompetence causes not only poor performance but also an inability to recognize that the performance is poor.
The same studies showing that unskilled people are more likely to be unaware of how lack of good performance also reveal that intensive training in a skill not only raised performance, but also improved participants' ability to rate their earlier performance before the training. People began to perform better and understood that what they did before was bad. The only way to know how well you are doing a task is to also have a good idea of how to do the task well. If you don't understand how to do a task well then you also necessarily lack an ability to realize that you can't do it well - or to realize when others are doing it better. Quoting again from the study:
For example, consider the ability to write grammatical English. The skills that enable one to construct a grammatical sentence are the same skills necessary to recognize a grammatical sentence, and thus are the same skills necessary to determine if a grammatical mistake has been made. In short, the same knowledge that underlies the ability to produce correct judgment is also the knowledge that underlies the ability to recognize correct judgment. To lack the former is to be deficient in the latter.
The same can be said about the other skills tested for: humor and logical reasoning. We've all had experiences with people who think that they are "above average" - so many regard themselves as above average that it defies descriptive statistics. Too many consider themselves superior to their peers at tasks like driving, working out finances, telling jokes, and socializing.
Those who are superior, on the other hand, tend to rate themselves as only average. They fall victim to the "false-consensus effect," assuming that their good performance is matched by everyone else. It's not that they don't realize they do well, but they fail to realize that everyone else isn't doing as well. This only changes once they become aware of the problems others have.
Ignorance and incompetence should drive people to become more knowledgeable, but actually they drive people to become overconfident, secure in the belief that they don't need to be more knowledgeable. Ignorance really is bliss, except for those who are faced with the task of trying to explain to a person that their arguments aren't so good after all.
As the above study shows, simply telling them this isn't sufficient. They don't know enough to comprehend your analysis and critique. Instead, you have to educate them in order to help them become competent - then, maybe, they will come to understand why their arguments are flawed or invalid.
One of the reasons people seem to develop this overconfidence is the lack of negative feedback. If you provide not simply that feedback, but constructive criticisms which help them learn how to do the relevant tasks well rather than poorly, then you might accomplish a great deal.

- GreyHeart 2011/11/24 03:58:13I already knew that, and it frustrates me.tell me about it, and we still call ourselves superior.........HA!!!!
- ETpro 2011/11/24 01:31:10OtherI like to point to the competence scale. It runs, in order, as follows::
1 -- Unconscious competence
2 -- Conscious competence
3 -- Conscious incompetence
4 -- Unconscious incompetence
The level you are identifying is number 4, unconscious incompetence. At that level, your competence stinks, but you are so clueless about it you can't smell it. Only those that somehow rise to level 3 can even recognize that they stink, and start to do something about it. If they set to work washing off the smell of incompetence, that may get them to conscious competence. And if they stay at that and continue to work and learn long enough, they reach unconscious competence; where they are so competent at the things they do that they don't even have to think about doing them, they just act. The best NFL quarterbacks are able to operate at the unconscious competence level.
- That scale sums it up well - thank you for providing it.
- BloodMist 2011/11/23 23:05:00 (edited)I already knew that, and it frustrates me.Stupid people will be the downfall of the human race.What really strikes me as odd is that over the years the amount of true idiots, especially in certain nations, seems to get larger and larger.

- Tired BN-0 2011/02/25 20:55:33Other+1It is an interesting piece you present. While I am inclined to agree in the likelihood of this, I would like to see the published results of the studies the authors reference. Data can be just as misleading, if not moreso, than well crafted opinions if the actual statistics are not shown. What journal published these studies?
- Tired BN-0 seathan... 2011/02/25 21:20:29 (edited)
- +1I think that Austin Cline's site, and newsletter, are very worthwhile to read and subscribe to. I learned most of what I now know about logic fallacies and debating from his site and articles. Such things apply across far more topics than just atheism (which is what his site is about), and an open-minded religious person could benefit from his site as much as I have. Cheers, and good hunting.

- La 2011/02/24 00:39:32 (edited)That's interesting. I didn't know that.I am a fount of constructive criticism. Makes you think though. What if I'm so stupid that I can't even identify my own stupidity? But then I remember that I have a distinct ability to identify persons more intelligent than myself, as well as less...and if I got into Law, I can't be that stupid.
- wtxwoman 2011/02/23 22:54:46 (edited)I already knew that, and it's why I'm so patient with stupid people.+2That's why my ex is still breathing. I know he is really not to blame for being so goard-headed. I think his brother smaked him up side the head too much as a child!
I remember my older brother telling me once, after I had asked him a technical question about his work, that it would take too long for him to educate me to a level of understanding for him to answer me and he didn't have the time. He was right, too. I have run across that problem many times in my life since then.
- +2"that it would take too long for him to educate me to a level of understanding for him to answer me and he didn't have the time. He was right, too."
Great point. Too many of us get "offended" and our ego is hurt by that sort of thing, but it's so often true. Look at all the people on this site who offer "opinions" on stuff they are completely unqualified to comment on. What's so hard about saying "I don't know"? And why is it that the stupidest people, who know the least, are the ones who say "I don't know" the least? Cheers.
- wtxwoman seathan... 2011/11/23 23:20:19It is usually men rather than women who have a hard time admitting ignorance of a particular subject. They seem to think that it is 'unmanly' to not know something. It causes problems in the work place.
- DFM302 2011/02/23 21:48:26OtherArrogant and Pompous: Why certain people think that because they say it, it's automatically logical, simple, and clear would be a poll question more suited for you.
- +3Thank you for demonstrating perfectly what this particular study found - that the incompetent not only do not recognise their own incompetence, they have no ability to compare themselves with those who are better than they are - so they therefore often exhibit anti-intellectual platitudes. Don't worry, I wasn't expecting the stupid or the incompetent to read the entire article (though bigger font would have helped), let alone understand what it was saying. Here's a Scooby Snack though, for being a good dog:
- DFM302 seathan... 2011/02/23 22:11:10Thank you for proving that arrogant and pompous people such as yourself think that all they have to do is say something and if their simple mind thinks it's logical, everyone else should think so. It's the arrogant, pompous, jackasses that believe they are always right and everyone else is wrong.
- wtxwoman seathan... 2011/02/23 22:53:12
- +4Exactly. He thinks it's a personal attack. That kind of proves the point that the article makes - that the stupid are not only stupid, they are ruled by ego and emotion rather than what little intelligence they possess. It's sad how they think that anyone who knows something must therefore be "pompous". But then, not knowing what words mean is part of the problem. Cheers.

Ok new Info.
-Card must be on PCI slot
-6 outputs, 1 mic input
-ASIO support(Console and VST plugins for crossover, TA, EQ)
So models for which I know:
-Asus Xonar Essence ST + H6 DAC board (Can't find anywhere)
-E-MU 1820 (Discontinued product and need aditional "Box")
-Asus Xonar D2
-Auzen X-FI Prelude 7.1
-HT Omega Claro Plus+ (ASIO???)
-CLARO halo XT (ASIO???)
becaue console only supports one asio device for both input and output, you are going to end up either using asio4all, or will be looping the audio through the soundcard(looping it through multiple devices is the least efficient method)...
i would have to say that any of those cards are going to work.
After talking with tech support Im 80% to take HT Omega Claro Halo XT sound card... It have swapable OPAMPS, 8xRCA outputs, optical IN and OUT, Headphone out, Line-in, mic, coaxial in&out, AUX-in, CD-in...
See: http://www.cakewalk.com/products/UAUM/UA1G.asp
Despite lots of warnings in the manual about problems with the device not being found and possible problems of swapping it from one USB port to the other, it worked perfectly.
Problem for me is that ASIO does not give you a master volume control so I could not get good functionality out of roadRunner and the Satnav volume punched me through the roof when the sound went from 4% to 100% volume unexpectedly...
RR (and probably CF) needs hte master volume control for full functionality.
There is a recent thread about my experiences, search for my posts.
As I know with ASIO you can control Master Volume but you can't control Wave volume...

well, this is cool. i'll stick with 3.55 for a bit until a confirmed (near) flawless release comes out that has less than 1% brick. i think i might just try to use the keys to patch newer games for the time being
Looking at the changelog for the new multiman, Deank has bee a very busy little bee. has he ever tried sleeping, apparantly its good for you now and then.
LOL I just post it under above thread!
just updated to latest multiman, and uncharted 2 still wont work, but who cares its one game, it will free up space on harddrive for another, not like i haven't completed it 10 times lol
nope i didn't update multiman, the link i downloaded was still 4.07.02 i'm such an idiot glad i didn't delete the game yet
Seems like Rogero will soon be releasing a brick-free version with bug fixes.
Today he said: Please anyone with a hardware flasher and a machine that bricked while installing the CFW then you have un-bricked it, please contact me.
Because what I need to fix this weird problem is someone who already have a flasher, a PS3 that bricked, so we can fix it, then replicate the brick, then re-fix it, and test another version of the CFW4.21...
And yesterday he was testing/fixing bugs.
I did downgrade from 4:21 to 3:55 Rogero, I can install this cfw or will I have a problem? excuse my english
Try Resigning The EBOOT.BIN Of Uncharted 2 for 4.21CFW with new Resigning tool if it does not work with Multiman 4.08.00 BASE.
good idea, or i could just load it in again from disc again so that its a direct copy
excellent, the new multiman fixed everything. so far out of 52 games i own all 52 work perfect.
now thats excellent odds. now i can put them all back in the suitcase at bottom of wardrobe lol.
Luci ferson You can make a nice compatibility list of those games.that will be helpful for other people.
