Oz star Cooper wins first fightFri, 08 Feb 2013 11:57 AM
Wallabies flyhalf Quade Cooper won his first professional fight in a first-round knock-out of fellow Australian Barry Dunnett in Brisbane on Friday.
Cooper landed a right hook high on Dunnett's head to send his opponent crashing to the canvas inside the opening round of his scheduled four-round cruiserweight bout at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre.
Dunnett (32) had two previous professional boxing bouts in 2010 but it was in Muay Thai boxing, in which fighters are allowed to use their elbows and knees.
He looked well short of fitness against Cooper, who will be calling the shots for the Queensland Reds in this season's Super 15 provincial series, which kicks off next weekend.

Click here to Download the Basic4GL installer for Windows (98, XP, Vista, 7).
Also see the plugins page.
Basic4GL is a free programming language for Windows computers with built in support for the OpenGL graphics library.
Based on traditional BASIC, it is designed to be an easy to learn, easy to use language for writing 3D programs, games, demos and utilities without all the setup hassle associated with most language compilers.
Basic4GL can be used:
Basic4GL is built around the OpenGL 3D accellerated graphics library. It automatically handles such tasks as creating an OpenGL window and initialising OpenGL for you, so you can skip all the usual linking, header file and initialisation and start writing OpenGL code from line 1. For example, here's an OpenGL program to draw a triangle.
glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES) glVertex3f(0, 10, -30) glVertex3f(8, -4, -30) glVertex3f(-8, -4, -30) glEnd() SwapBuffers()
Vectors and matrices are integrated directly into the Basic4GL language as 1D and 2D arrays respectively. Mathematical operators such as multiplication (*) and addition (+) behave appropriately on vector and matrix types, so you can write vector and matrix notation algebra directly into your programs.
You also get a standard library of trig functions and matrix creation routines (designed to mirror OpenGL's matrix creation routines), which makes trigonometry calculations quick, easy and compact to implement.
If OpenGL isn't your scene Basic4GL has a sprite and tile-map engine for writing 2D scrolling shooters, platformers or whatever takes your fancy.
A few clicks will then convert your program into a stand-alone Windows executable which you can distribute to whoever you want.
All editing takes place within the Basic4GL integrated development environment with a syntax highlighting editor and built-in symbolic debugger.
The Basic4GL programming language is designed to be simple, flexible and very hard to crash! Run-time errors (such as array index out of bounds) are caught cleanly, and all resources (such as textures or file handles) are automatically cleaned up for you when the program finishes.
Basic4GL supports plugins, which allow the language to be extended with new commands and functions. There are a number of existing plugins created by members of the Basic4GL community providing access to many quality third party libraries, such as phyiscs and music/video playback.
C++ programmers can create their own plugins using the Basic4GL plugin SDK.
Because I felt like it :-).
Support for hexidecimal numbers.
dim a = 0xffff, b = -0x2020
Fix run behaviour when double clicking a .gb file. Programs that use include files or plugin DLLs should run correctly now.
Can now use "as" keyword with function and constant declarations. E.g:
function GetString() as string function RandomFloat() as single const pi as single = 3.14159265
Functions can also use structures. E.g:
type TThing name as string end type function GetThing() as TThing
Fixed a small bug that Nicky found that I can't remember off the top of my head :-)
New improved texture loading commands:
With support for transparent colours, non power-of-two frames sizes in image strips. See the Sprite library guide for details.
Extended DrawText command, to allow drawing of just the text, or just the sprites.
Can now dim and assign variables in the same statement. E.g:
dim a = 1, b$ = "Hello" dim m#(3,3) = MatrixIdentity()
Added functions to tweak network connection settings (advanced).
See network guide for more information.
Minor bug fixes.
"dim a," will no longer cause the IDE to crash.
Allocating too many network connections will no longer cause the IDE to crash.
Russian translation of the Basic4GL help files (v2.5.3).
Thanks to Popov Evgeniy Alekseevich.
Contains fixes/features for plugin DLL writers.
Unless you're writing or using a new plugin, you probably wont notice much difference between this and the previous release.
Fix bug in standalone exe startup sequence, that was preventing plugin DLLs from registering data structures properly.
Plugins can now compile and execute arbitrary code. (See IB4GLCompiler in Basic4GLStandardObjects.h).
Plugins can now access files embedded in standalone exes. (See IB4GLFileAccessor in Basic4GLStandardObjects.h).

Best shoe - 5 stars +
This is almost identical to the model I bought 8, yes 8 years ago, it had a different name that I can't remember now perhaps Air Lenox. I liked it so much I got the same style in brown the next year. I have worn both shoes on and off as couple of day a week work shoes and special occasion shoes. The shoe are literally timeless - they're still in style, are still comfortable, and are still in great condition even though I do exactly nothing to take care of them. The price was a steal for how much use I've got out of them - and it's still the same price 8 years later. Was just browsing the website and had to share that this is unequivocally the best shoe I've ever owned.

Making Oncology History: Imatinib Pioneer Created His Own Opportunities
Published Online: Thursday, January 17, 2013
Brian J. Druker, MDThere are lessons to be learned from interacting with cancer patients, and⎯luckily for the oncology community⎯Brian J. Druker almost missed the most important one.
"If you take care of cancer patients, what you should learn is that you need to make the most out of every day, to live life to its fullest," said Druker, MD, director of the Knight Cancer Institute at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) in Portland. "If I developed cancer and all I did was work hard, that doesn't seem like a very fulfilling life."
During the early years of his career, though, it never occurred to Druker to adopt that perspective. Instead, the endless frustration of treating patients he couldn't cure—or sometimes even help— drove the physician into the lab to work tirelessly at developing new therapies.
As it turned out, it was fortunate for the oncology community that he did. A dozen years ago, Druker's efforts led to the development of imatinib (Gleevec), an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) initially indicated for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) that has proved to be one of the earliest and most successful targeted therapies in the oncology armamentarium.
In one trial that helped pave the way for the drug, Druker and colleagues found that imatinib restored normal blood counts in 53 out of 54 interferon-resistant CML patients, a response rate rarely seen in cancer with a single agent (N Engl J Med. 2001;344[14]:1031-1037). Fifty-one of the patients were still doing well after a year on the medicine, and most reported few side effects, according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) (http://goo.gl/RmIH5).
Imatinib was groundbreaking not just because of those results, but also because of how it generated them. While previously approved molecular-targeting drugs interfered with proteins associated with cancers, imatinib was the first to directly turn off the signal of a protein known to cause a cancer, according to the NCI. The drug was approved in May 2001, with phase II trials still in progress and after an FDA review of less than three months, still an all-time speed record.
Today, patients with CML who take imatinib are projected to survive an average of 30 years, Druker said, a far cry from the three- to five-year prognosis that was standard when he began practicing medicine in the 1980s. And, imatinib has been approved for the treatment of additional tumor types, including Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia and KIT (CD117)-positive gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
On a broader scope, the insights that led to the development of the drug have helped lay the groundwork for the creation, by other labs, of several approved treatments for imatinib-resistant CML, and also of targeted therapies for other cancers, including the kinase inhibitors vemurafenib, erlotinib, gefitinib, and crizotinib.
All those developments make Druker glad that he gave the decade of his life from his mid-30s to his mid-40s almost exclusively to research, living a solitary life and working 16-hour days.
"Because of what I did and the sacrifices I made," the 57-year-old said, "I got to see patients who benefited from a treatment I helped develop, and got to give them hope when they had no hope. That's a gift that can't be replaced by anything else."
Continuing the FightIn the years since imatinib's approval, Druker has maintained his focus on finding new and better treatments for CML and other leukemias. In particular, he's seeking ways to beat the resistance to imatinib that arises in about 15% of patients with CML within five years of beginning treatment.
While there are already three TKIs on the market for refractory CML, including bosutinib (Bosulif), approved this fall, "there's still one mutation that none of those drugs will shut down—T315I," Druker said.
"We worked for close to six years testing drugs that Ariad designed until we identified one that shut this down," said Druker, referring to the Cambridge, Massachusetts, pharmaceutical company. "The drug, ponatinib, works incredibly well against that mutation and also across the board in CML, and has made it through clinical trials." In December, the FDA approved ponatinib, three months ahead of schedule Find out more.
Druker spends a fair amount of time conducting such research in his 16-person lab at OHSU, a hilltop institution that overlooks downtown Portland.

|Chronicles the colonization of Mars in the year 2026. In his most ambitious project to date, award-winning author Kim Stanley Robinson utilizes years of research and cutting-edge science in the first of three novels that will chronicle the colonization of Mars. For eons, sandstorms have swept the barren desolate landscape of the red planet. For centuries, Mars has beckoned to mankind to come and conquer its hostile climate. Now, in the year 2026, a group of one hundred colonists is about to fulfill that destiny. John Boone, Maya Toitovna, Frank Chalmers, and Arkady Bogdanov lead a mission whose ultimate goal is the terraforming of Mars. For some, Mars will become a passion driving them to daring acts of courage and madness; for others it offers an opportunity to strip the planet of its riches. And for the genetic "alchemists, " Mars presents a chance to create a biomedical miracle, a breakthrough that could change all we know about life, and death. The colonists place giant satellite mirrors in Martian orbit to reflect light to the planet's surface. Black dust sprinkled on the polar caps will capture warmth and melt the ice. And massive tunnels, kilometers in depth, will be drilled into the Martian mantle to create stupendous vents of hot gases. Against this backdrop of epic upheaval, rivalries, loves, and friendships will form and fall to pieces, for there are those who will fight to the death to prevent Mars from ever being changed. Brilliantly imagined, breathtaking in scope and ingenuity, Red Mars is an epic scientific saga, chronicling the next step in human evolution and creating a world in its entirety. Red Mars shows us a future, with both glory and tarnish, that awes with complexity and inspires with vision.

House Speaker Michael Madigan's constitutional amendment to stop voter suppression has advanced.
It would change the state constitution to ensure no one is denied the right to register to vote or cast a ballot based on race, color, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation or income. Madigan noted recent efforts in other states making it more difficult to vote and said there could be "future efforts" in Illinois.
House GOP Leader Jim Durkin co-sponsored the proposal. He said Republicans need to make strides in being more inclusive. The measure would be placed on the November ballot if it passes by a three-fifths margin in the Senate.

What Spanish Recovery?
One of the prevailing themes in recent weeks has been that Spain has transformed out of Europe's economic basket case into a success story. This was further exemplified today by the following quote by DieselBOOM:
It could, if one listens to bureaucrats peddling snake oily hope, but certainly not based on actual dynamics in its housing market, where mortgage apps have tumbled 90% from all time highs, pocket change investment by Bill Gates notwithstanding, and where even the YoY change has now trippled dipped.
... and certainly not based on loan to companies or households, which continue to be the worst in the Eurogroup.
So one wonders: with a housing market deader than ever, and with loan creation that is the worst in the Eurozone, will the modest bounce in employment, which as we explained last week was all driven by a seasonal jump in temp and self-employed workers, just where is Mr. DieselBOOM and the endless ranks of Eurotopians seeing this mythical Spanish recovery? Aside from the IBEX of course, which like every other liquidity-bubble dependent indicator is merely reflecting the roughly $3 trillion in annual global liquidity injections by the world's central banks?

Sovereign Debt Crisis 2.0
Coming 2014
When there are no real options left to do but lie.
Kinda reminds me of that guy.........."Uhhh, that hot chick just like put out because I have this like ginormous cock man..... She couldn't get her hands off me......"
There has never been a better time to buy a new Spanish vacation home!
New residential development on the east coast of Majorca near Porto Cristo, naturally beautiful area, crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean, sandy beaches on the surrounding coves, wide array of amenities include water sports and golf, idyllic lifestyle, only 58 km from the Palma de Majorca international airport with easy access to main European cities, 2 bedroom apartments in private estate on the edge of the Cala Anguila beach, lush gardens, flowers, native plants and trees, swimming pool.
404 Cala Anguila Porto Cristo, Porto Cristo Majorca
2 beds | 2 bath | 1061 Sq. Ft.
Spiderman towels not included.
Hola Senor Bull :)
The recovery may not be on track, but the hype certainly is. The Spanish Recovery Narrative is almost one year old, so it is a good time to review Spain's economy and debunk the narrative.
"peddling snake oily hope"
Boris would say... "not oily hope but Yak spudge hope"
Please correct me if I take poetic license.
Spain and the Euro can limp along another 10 to 20 years. Finally when ZH readership drops to 50 diehards and even the Tylers have capitulated it will go boom.
Everyone loses in a collapse with 90 percent losing most everything. Contrarians always capitulate after watching a process go on far longer than they anticipated. Nobody can win.
"There has never been a better time to buy a new Spanish vacation home!"
At $308/square foot?
You are out of your fucking mind!
Quality construction!
No expense is spared for the interior design
and surface treatments.
Just a few moments stroll
from the beautiful beach.
Hurry! Call now!
While inventory is still available!
I have been to Palma de Majorca. Its mostly Brits who can't swim and fat Germans in speedos fighting over lawn chairs.
ROTF, LMAO. So true, so true.
Have you tried the "Naturist" beaches, that are so favored by the Germans, Dutch and Scandinavians? No 'Mericans, Brits or real Catholics, of course, as they don't like to show "naughty bits". ;-)
@ Horseman - still overpriced - in a year from now you'll buy that place for 25 % less.
I think he meant to say ON THE TRACKS...
...and the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train.
The same applies to all other European economies. In the UK we are bombarded with daily government propaganda about the economy " accelerating, bouncing back, turned the corner " Osborne is a dinkum clueless dickhead , who raves about the economic rebound , which is a paltry 0 ,8 % better than last year. What he fails to mention is that GDP is still below 2007 levels.
Thanks Tyler for Posting it,
Apparently the NSA is trying to find the recovery too by spying on 60 million Spaniards.
I wonder what the cost of that was, not including data storage. Might have been enough to fuel a small spark in the Spanish economy.
They sure do waste a lot of money to find out who is screwing who. They could just as easily go to one of the free on-line porn sites an call it a day. But this is government, and they aren't happy if they aren't spending.
Bring more Spiderman´s Towel¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Next bank to fail :
Spanish Equities Recovery has just been manipulated by " FLOWS ORDERS ON THE 10yrs bond" which has made long term bond reequilibrate to mid 4%,
So easy talking - Just pure bullshit Recovery
Nothing has changed in Spain, furthermore things are going worse in terms of: Higher Net debt, Lower affordable Ratios, Negative consumption rates, Infinite Cooked Books, False Frozen Covered Bond markets, False Audit by Oliver Wyman and Roland Berger.
Unemployment and salaries wont recover without DEBT AND DEPOSIT HAIRCUTS...ITS IMPOSSIBLE¡
SO again This is going to crash a this time DRAGHI WONT WIN THE GAME, COS NOBODY IS PLAYING ON THE OTHER SIDE, ALGOS WILL LOSE TOO.
But, but, but their Q3 GDP "surged" 0.1%!
Is that a green shoot of recovery by the pool?
Even the IMF's dropped the est. growth for 2014 all the way from a towering 0.9pc to, er, zero, vs 2.6pc for the US. But don't you dare doubt that 3Q 0.1pc growth in Spain. Spain's numbers are always trustworthy, particularly if blessed by Brussels.
Once everyone knows The Secret, these number wil be factual. No?
For all of you not following me on twitter..... I just tried to speak to Tim Cook and they told me to fuck off.
Bad luck, try again and ask for Steve Jobs.
Just ask Joe Bologna of Deutsch Bank, he'll tell you that construction is up along with builder sentiment.
In other words, supply is going to pull demand (he said that this morning on CNBC).
Joe Izuzu's cousin?
If I had some dough I might bottom fish a place north of Lisbon, some great surf towns up there.
Lol. We are not even close to a bottom yet.
You are probably right, but a lot of things are close to replacement cost. So now it's going to be about the desperation of sellers vs the desire of buyers i guess.
Bill, please note that I said, "Be greedy when there is blood in the streets"...not "be stupid when there is blood in the streets" - Uncle Warren
Maybe Spain should have their own currency so that they are not beggar-slaves at the ECB door. "Please Mr. Technocrat, create some more currency for me so that I can make it flow through my economy like the Obumble does in Amerika."
We are NSA, we are your best friend......
Having just got back from Spain, the area where progress seems to be occurring is that more spanish are realising that it is the private bankers they should be blaming for what happened rather than other Euro countries. The talk of reccovery is only being taken seriously by the bankster controlled press and politicians as the problems are systemic and exponential rather than cyclical. This means there is no chance of improvement with time, just continued deterioration. The banksters responsible are starting to make the famous tyrants of history look ok.
So, Spanish NPL's are all taken care of...
That's good.
what exactly is the narrative here? that Spain is worse than in the doldrums because mortgage applications are down? in my own experience in Spain, this is mainly because "the horse is not drinking", i.e. lots of people who own a vacation house or apartment in Spain not only aren't buying or selling, they are paying back their mortgages. which in other places it's seen as "hell coming to earth"
and when I say lots of people I'm hinting to what really fuelled that humungous building frenzy that Spain had for long time: Germans, French, Brits, BeNeLuxers and so on. many of them regard that little property not only as a "spot in the sun", but also as a hedge against inflation. and by expecting inflation - the mortgage market being different than in the US - they don't want to be eaten up by raising rates in the future
now of course the Spanish gov could do what the British is doing, i.e. subzidize the market to keep the prices up. yet what is seen as necessary in the UK (a primary residence market) might be still seen as not necessary in a Spanish market dominated by secondary residences
btw, who the hell listens to what Dijsselbloem says? the algos?
you're not going to get inflation. another spot for Tesla, Solar City and Nissan though I guess. What a scam...the whole property bubble. The only failure is the "failure to re-inflate." I guess. The whole euro/oil trade reeks of manipulation to me. Build all the homes you want...we've become a society of friggin' towel holders.
meanwhile in Portugal ... the vice Prime Minister stated that the country is weeks away from ending the technical recession. You gotta love these shitface lying bullshit eating pig polticians huh?
Was the description enough or not?
I checked - these apartments are literally in the middle of nowhere. 58 km to the airport - you can't get much further away. So $300K+ for an isolated little development on the bad coast of Majorca - are there any greater fools left?
Yes, two of the idiots I work with are the greater fools. They believe they are going to land a nice, spacious holiday flat near the water in Valencia for around $100k.
Fear not, they've read all the "horror stories" and won't get taken for everything and the shirt off their backs.
Right, a couple Anglo schmucks are going to pull the bargain of the century in a country where local lawyers don't reliably understand the real estate transaction process.

Fiscal Crisis Puts U.S. Security at Risk
Robert Kagan, Washington Post
AP Photo
In a world that still looks to U.S. leadership on many issues, despite what some say, our utter dysfunction on matters involving the basic health of our economy does not inspire confidence. Nor will the United States act with confidence abroad while we are unable to address our problems at home. It is no accident that all the misguided talk of a "post-American world" came after the financial crisis exploded.
TAGGED: Fiscal Cliff, United States

Aboard the
Jolly Roger
, Hook looks at a sketch of his beloved, Milah. Smee promises him that they'll find a way to kill Rumplestiltskin. He reports that Bae is weak, but okay. They wonder where he came from and Smee suggests that Bae belongs to "Him," who kidnaps children from other worlds. Hook thinks that they're lucky if he does, because they can negotiate and return his prize to him in return for their survival in Neverland.
Hook and Smee go below to check on Bae. Bae insists that he has no interest in Neverland, despite its magic, and explains that he left home to save his family. The boy dismisses Hook as a pirate and says that a pirate took his mother from her cowardly husband. Suspecting who he's dealing with, Hook confirms Bae's name and makes him comfortable.
Henry is in the park swinging as Granny watches over him with an assault rifle. Gold watches from a distance and starts to magically part the rope, planning to throw Henry onto a nearby rock. Before he can, Emma, David, and Mary Margaret arrive. Gold explains that he's watching his grandson since Neal told the pawnbroker to stay away. Mary Margaret sends Emma to talk to Henry and then tells Gold that Tamara shot Neal and then sent him to another world. Gold, staggered by the news, says that his son wasn't supposed to die. As Emma breaks the news to Henry, David tells Gold that Greg and Tamara took the failsafe trigger from Regina and they ask for his help. He refuses, explaining that he was the one who killed Neal. He says that his son's death was the price he had to pay for bringing magic to the real world. When Mary Margaret points out that they'll all die, Gold says that he's made his peace with that and walks away.
Greg, Tamara, and Hook enter the mines and Hook asks who is commanding them. Greg says that it doesn't matter and Tamara insists that they have faith in their sacred cause. They find a dwarf's pick axe and prepare to break the trigger. They tell Hook that it will revert the town to the original forest killing everyone, including Rumplestiltskin. Greg asks Hook if he's as willing to die for his cause as they are for theirs, and Hook says that he is. When Greg hits the trigger gem, it floats into the air and starts glowing. The trio runs out as the ground stars to shake.
At the Storybrooke Library, tendrils of the original forest start to cover the building.
Emma and her parents take Henry back to the apartment, where Regina is getting up after her ordeal. The building shakes and Regina warns them that the trigger is active. Henry wonders if they're all going to die and Regina assures him that he will survive, since he was born there. She tells them that she can't stop it, but Henry insists that they have to work together before he loses anyone else. Hook comes in and David punches him and then draws his gun. The pirate explains that he has no desire to die to get his revenge, but Regina says that all she can do is delay the inevitable. David says that will delay things long enough for them to get the magic beans back from Tamara and move everyone back to the Enchanted Forest. Hook offers to lead David to Greg and Tamara while Emma goes with Regina to slow down the trigger. Meanwhile, Mary Margaret and Henry will get the townspeople ready for evacuation. As Henry goes, Regina tells him that she's sorry and that she failed to be the person he wanted her to be. She says that she loves him and Henry says he loves her.
The Lost Ones from Neverland row to the
Jolly Roger
, and Smee tells Hook that they have to give them the boy. Hook refuses, insisting that he needs Bae for his revenge. The Lost Ones board the ship and demand that Hook turn Bae over. Hook claims that he never found him and invites them to search his ship. As they look around, the Lost Ones' leader Felix warns that his master will rip the shadow from anyone who defies him.
The searchers fail to find Bae, who is hiding in a hidden compartment. Felix advises Hook to turn Bae over if he does find him, and then leaves. When Bae emerges from hiding, he's surprised that Hook cares for anyone but himself. The pirate tells him that he has a lot to learn about pirates.
Gold finds the dwarves searching his shop. Grumpy explains that they can use Sneezy's drinking stein, a beloved personal possession, to bring his memories back using a potion the Mother Superior created, and Gold has the stein. Gold points out that if Sneezy does get his memories back then he'll immediately die. As the other dwarves take Sneezy away, Grumpy gives a second dose of the restoration potion to Gold. He wants to restore Belle's memories as she once helped him, and tells Gold not to let Belle die as Lacey. Once Grumpy leaves, Belle comes out and asks what is going on. Gold dismisses it as nothing and walks away.
At the cannery, Greg is burning their files and preparing to leave. As Hook and David pull up, the ground shakes again and Hook warns that time is running out.
Bae soon acclimates to sailing and Hook invites him to try the wheel. The pirate asks what became of Bae's father and explains that his father abandoned him to avoid capture because he was a fugitive. Bae asks him to keep his secret and then explains that his father is The Dark One and gets his power from a dagger. Hook is keenly interested in the fact that the dagger is the only thing that can kill Rumplestiltskin.
As they explore the cannery, David wonders what Hook is fighting for. The pirate says that he's fighting for himself and that's enough. They find Greg, and David demands the beans at gunpoint. Tamara shoots at them and Hook tackles Greg while Tamara runs off and David goes after her. She trips, but Greg frees himself and knocks David down. As they run off, Hook arrives and tells David that he snagged one of the beans. David reluctantly gives up the chase and leaves.
In the mines, Emma can sense the magic being sucked out of the air. They find the gem and Regina warns that once it stops glowing, it will destroy Storybrooke. She prepares to contain the energy but warns Emma that it will kill her. Emma realizes that she's not coming with them. Regina says that it's fitting that she dies trying to stop the device she created. Crying, she asks Emma to let her die as Regina rather than the Evil Queen and then begins containing the trigger.
Storybrooke starts to fall apart as the tendrils rip everything apart. At the pawnshop, Gold offers Belle a toast to the end of the world. She spills the drink and picks up Gold's shawl to mop it up, and he angrily stops her, insisting it belonged to someone important. He then takes out the shattered pieces of Belle's cup and restores them with a spell. Gold explains that it's from their shared past and pours the potion into it. He offers it to Belle. She drinks it and the spell restores her memories. Crying, Gold calls her by her real name and Belle kisses him. He explains that he didn't want to wake her up just to die, and Belle offers her condolences on Neal's death. As Gold hugs her, he says that he's failed.
David and Hook go to the diner and show the others that they have one of the magic beans. Henry asks where Regina is and Emma explains that she's sacrificing herself to save them. Henry insists that they don't leave family behind, reminding them that they saved Regina from the wraith. Mary Margaret gets an idea and says that if they sent the wraith through a portal, they can do the same with the trigger. Archie steps forward and says that everyone will agree to take the risk on behalf of Snow White and their Prince, confident that they've won in the past and will win again. The dwarves all agree and Mary Margaret asks Emma to give them the chance to do right by Henry. Emma admits that she doesn't want Henry to grow up alone the way that she did. She points out that they can escape now. Mary Margaret reminds her that she killed Regina's mother. She explains she did it because it was easy, and she refuses to build a future on Regina's blood.
Emma agrees but Hook takes the bag with the remaining magic bean. He's willing to let Regina die, but Emma tells him that she understands looking for oneself first. She invites Hook to help them and be a part of something, or stand alone. Hook considers and then hands her the bean back. As the others turn away, Hook asks why she's really doing it and Emma says that Henry lost his father. Shocked, Hook realizes that Bae is dead.
Later, Smee asks Hook why Bae is still aboard the ship. He mentions he is putting them all at risk. Hook orders the crew to obey, just as Bae comes up and tries to stab him. The boy explains that he found Milah's drawing on Hook's desk and realizes that the pirate is the one who killed her. Hook explains that he and Milah fell in love and ran off, but Rumplestiltskin found them and tore her heart out. They always planned to find Bae and bring him with them, but Milah died first. Hook says that Fate has brought them together, but Bae still blames him for ripping apart his family. Bae asks him to take him back to his real family, the Darlings, but Hook says that it's impossible. Angry, Bae refuses to have anything to do with him and walks away.
Henry and the others return to the mine and tell Regina their plan. She warns that it might not work but Mary Margaret insists that they have to try. Emma takes out the bag with the magic bean, but realizes that it's empty.
Hook sails the
Jolly Roger
out of the harbor, holding the magic bean.
Hook approaches Bae as he prepares to leave. The pirate tells the boy that he has a choice and the ship can be his home, but Bae refuses to stay. Hook offers to change for him, but Bae says that he knows that he'll never change because he only cares about himself. As Bae walks away, Hook thanks him for reminding what he's all about. The Lost Ones board the ship to take Bae away, and the boy yells that Hook is just like Rumplestiltskin. As they go, Hook asks Felix if "He" will be pleased, but Felix leaves without a word.
Hook remembers his past with Bae and looks at the magic bean.
The people of Storybrooke run in terror as the forest grows up through the town.
At the mine, Regina warns that she can't contain the trigger much longer. Emma hugs her parents and Henry, crying. Henry goes to Regina, who admits that she's not strong enough to stop the trigger. Meanwhile, Emma gets an idea and says that perhaps together they are strong enough. David and Mary Margaret get Henry to cover while Emma joins her magical efforts to Regina. There's an explosion and the gem drops to the ground.
Throughout Storybrooke, the forest retracts. Gold steps out of his shop to see what has happened.
In the mines, the Charmings realize that they're alive. They run to help Emma up, while Regina picks up the trigger. However, they discover that Henry is gone. They find his discarded backpack and realize that Tamara and Greg took him.
The couple takes Henry away and explains that the point was never to destroy Storybrooke. They found something that was more important: Henry. As Emma and the others catch up to them, Greg throws the last magic bean into the harbor. It creates a portal and he and Tamara leap in with Henry. Regina warns that they have no way to follow, just as Gold and Belle arrive. Gold admits that he doesn't know of any way to cross worlds. Regina refuses to accept it, just as Hook returns. When they tell him that he's too late to help, Hook gives Emma the magic bean and offers his ship and his services. When Regina wonders how they'll track Henry, Gold offers to do it.
As the group boards the ship, Gold tells Belle that she has to stay there. He explains that Greg and Tamara weren't working alone and gives Belle a cloaking spell to protect Storybrooke against the Believers. Belle realizes that Gold isn't coming back, and he explains that while the prophecy said that Henry would be his undoing, the boy is also his grandson. Gold plans to save Henry to honor Neal. Belle warns that the future isn't always what it seems and is confident that they will see each other again. Gold and Belle share a kiss and then she tells him that Bae would be proud of him.
On a beach, three people find Neal, unconscious. Prince Phillip and Aurora help him up while Mulan looks on.
Aboard the
Jolly Roger
, Hook tells Gold that he's done trying to kill him. Gold conjures a globe and pricks his finger on it, and the spell reveals that they've taken Henry to Neverland.
The Lost Ones take Bae ashore, but others inform Felix that Bae isn't the one that He wants. They take Bae away with the others.
Hook throws the magic bean into the water, opening a portal. He then steers the ship into the portal, while Gold explains that Greg and Tamara are manipulated by a greater force.
Felix assures the others that they will find the boy they are looking for, Henry. He promises that Peter Pan never fails.
Jolly Roger

A month or two ago I made a post about how I was having pain in my left side. Hurt to touch/press but was otherwise fine, but I went to the doctor because I was worried it was something internal. They determined that there were no organs in the area that could be causing it (which I had assumed), and they said it was most likely muscular in nature. Anyways, a few days later it was gone.
However, two or three weeks after that, it came back. I didn't think much of it, and again it went away in a day or two. Anyways, it's back today, and it's starting to freak me out a bit. It's on my left side (see pic). Only hurts when pressed, and only in a very small area. Low fever (99.4).
I also have no been to the gym since last Friday, so I don't know how I would have pulled or otherwise irritated a muscle, especially in my obliques. Pissing me off, lately I feel like my body is just falling apart.

George Crum and the Saratoga Chip
George Crum and the Saratoga Chip
Written by Gaylia Taylor
Illustrated by Frank Morrison
Growing up in the 1830's in Saratoga Springs, New York, isn't easy for George Crum. Picked on at school because of the color of his skin, George escapes into his favorite pastimes - hunting and fishing.
Soon George learns to cook too, and as a young man he lands a job as chef at the fancy Moon's Lake House. George loves his work, except for the fussy customers, who are always complaining! One hot day George's patience boils over, and he cooks up a potato dish so unique it changes his life forever.
Open-Ended Questions
These questions can be used during an interactive read aloud to engage student interest.
- How do you think George feels about school? Have you ever been nervous about school? (page 2)
- Why did George have little patience for the fussy customers? (page 12)
- Why does George feel like he's back in 1st grade? (page 16)
- Why was George so stunned by her reaction? (page 22)
- Why is it so important to George that everyone is treated with respect? (page 28)
Vocabulary Words
- Feisty
- Anxious
Learning by Making Mistakes
Nervous about making mistakes? Don't be! Without mistakes we might not have potato chips, or popsicles, or Frisbees... or many other commonly used inventions. With your students, look at the Eureka: Inventions Created by Accident website (http://library.thinkquest.org/J0111766/accidents.html). In small groups, students can create a story about how one of these inventions came to be. First, try brainstorming ideas for a storyline. Next, create an outline. Finally, fill in the details of the story. Encourage your students to act like inventors by being creative and resourceful, taking risks, working hard, and solving problems.
Class Cookbook
George Crum was passionate about cooking. He became famous for the different dishes he created, including the Saratoga Chip, which has an interesting and unusual story. Ask students to bring a favorite recipe to class, along with a story about that recipe. Discuss where these recipes came from; some may have been passed down from generations or recently invented by a family member. Ask students if they eat these recipes during special times of the year or if they have special memories associated with the dishes. Collect these recipes and create a class cookbook along with their stories.
Journal Questions
- Kate always helped her brother George feel better when he was frustrated or feeling feisty. What are some things you do to cheer up your friends?
Some inventions take a lot of thought while others happen by accident, like the Saratoga Chip. What would you like to invent if you had the opportunity?

Drug Interactions
Management of Hospitalized Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus - Article
ABSTRACT: Subopitmal glycemic control in hospitalized patients with type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus can have adverse consequences, including increased neurologic ischemia, delayed wound healing and an increased infection rate. Poor glycemic control can also affect the outcome of the primary illness. If possible, hospitalized diabetic patients should continue their previous antihyperglycemic treatment regimen. Decreased physical activity and the stress of illness often lead to hyperglycemia in hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes. When indicated, insulin is given either as a supplement to usual therapy or as a temporary substitute. The overall benefit of the traditional sliding-scale insulin regimen has been questioned. Insulin supplementation given according to an algorithm may be a logical alternative. Any antihyperglycemic regimen should be administered and monitored in a manner coincident with the intake of food or other sources of calories. Factors that can alter glycemic control acutely, including specific medical conditions and medications, should be identified and anticipated.
Combination Antiretroviral Therapy for HIV Infection - Article
ABSTRACT: The primary goal of antiretroviral therapy for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is suppression of viral replication. Evidence indicates that the optimal way to achieve this goal is by initiating combination therapy with two or more antiretroviral agents. The agents now licensed in the United States for use in combination therapy include five nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors (zidovudine, didanosine, zalcitabine, stavudine and lamivudine), two nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (delavirdine and nevirapine) and four protease inhibitors (saquinavir, ritonavir, indinavir and nelfinavir). Current recommendations suggest that antiretroviral therapy be considered in any patient with a viral load higher than 5,000 to 20,000 copies per mL, regardless of the CD4+ count. Selection of the combination regimen must take into account the patient's prior history of antiretroviral use, the side effects of these agents and drug-drug interactions that occur among these agents and with other drugs as well. Because of the potential for viral resistance, nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and protease inhibitors should only be used in combination therapy. Antiretroviral agents are rapidly being developed and approved, so physicians must make increasingly complex treatment decisions about medications with which they may be unfamiliar.
Aminoglycosides: A Practical Review - Article
ABSTRACT: Aminoglycosides are potent bactericidal antibiotics that act by creating fissures in the outer membrane of the bacterial cell. They are particularly active against aerobic, gram-negative bacteria and act synergistically against certain gram-positive organisms. Gentamicin is the most commonly used aminoglycoside, but amikacin may be particularly effective against resistant organisms. Aminoglycosides are used in the treatment of severe infections of the abdomen and urinary tract, as well as bacteremia and endocarditis. They are also used for prophylaxis, especially against endocarditis. Resistance is rare but increasing in frequency. Avoiding prolonged use, volume depletion and concomitant administration of other potentially nephrotoxic agents decreases the risk of toxicity. Single daily dosing of aminoglycosides is possible because of their rapid concentration-dependent killing and post-antibiotic effect and has the potential for decreased toxicity. Single daily dosing of aminoglycosides appears to be safe, efficacious and cost effective. In certain clinical situations, such as patients with endocarditis or pediatric patients, traditional multiple dosing is still usually recommended.
Mirtazapine: A Newer Antidepressant - Article
ABSTRACT: Mirtazapine is a newer antidepressant that exhibits both noradrenergic and serotonergic activity. It is at least as effective as the older antidepressants for treating mild to severe depression. Sedation is the most common side effect. Although agranulocytosis is the most serious side effect, it is rare (approximately one in 1,000) and usually reversible when the medication is stopped. Mirtazapine is relatively safe in overdose. Many clinicians consider mirtazapine a second-line or even third-line antidepressant to be used when older antidepressants are not tolerated or are ineffective. Physicians who are concerned about the risks of elevated lipid levels and agranulocytosis may choose to reserve mirtazapine as a third-line choice. It is particularly useful in patients who experience sexual side effects from other antidepressants. Mirtazapine is also a good choice in depressed patients with significant anxiety or insomnia. Although mirtazapine has been used successfully in Europe for a number of years, its place in the care of patients with depression in the United States has not yet been established.
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: Diagnosis and Management - Article
ABSTRACT: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic, relapsing condition with associated morbidity and an adverse impact on quality of life. The disease is common, with an estimated lifetime prevalence of 25 to 35 percent in the U.S. population. GERD can usually be diagnosed based on the clinical presentation alone. In some patients, however, the diagnosis may require endoscopy and, rarely, ambulatory pH monitoring. Management includes lifestyle modifications and pharmacologic therapy; refractory disease requires surgery. The therapeutic goals are to control symptoms, heal esophagitis and maintain remission so that morbidity is decreased and quality of life is improved.
Herbal Remedies: Adverse Effects and Drug Interactions - Article
ABSTRACT: A growing number of Americans are using herbal products for preventive and therapeutic purposes. The manufacturers of these products are not required to submit proof of safety and efficacy to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration before marketing. For this reason, the adverse effects and drug interactions associated with herbal remedies are largely unknown. Ginkgo biloba extract, advertised as improving cognitive functioning, has been reported to cause spontaneous bleeding, and it may interact with anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents. St. John's wort, promoted as a treatment for depression, may have monoamine oxidase-inhibiting effects or may cause increased levels of serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. Although St. John's wort probably does not interact with foods that contain tyramine, it should not be used with prescription antidepressants. Ephedrine-containing herbal products have been associated with adverse cardiovascular events, seizures and even death. Ginseng, widely used for its purported physical and mental effects, is generally well tolerated, but it has been implicated as a cause of decreased response to warfarin. Physicians must be alert for adverse effects and drug interactions associated with herbal remedies, and they should ask all patients about the use of these products.
Angiotensin-II Receptor Antagonists: Their Place in Therapy - Article
ABSTRACT: Angiotensin-II receptor antagonists (or blockers) are a newer class of antihypertensive agents. These drugs are selective for angiotensin II (type 1 receptor); unlike angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, they do not inhibit bradykinin metabolism or enhance prostaglandin synthesis. Angiotensin-II receptor antagonists are well tolerated. Cough occurs much less often with these agents than with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and they do not adversely affect lipid profiles or cause rebound hypertension after discontinuation. Clinical trials indicate that angiotensin-II receptor antagonists are effective and safe in the treatment of hypertension. Their use in congestive heart failure and renal disease is under investigation.
Outpatient Detoxification of the Addicted or Alcoholic Patient - Article
ABSTRACT: Outpatient detoxification of patients with alcohol or other drug addiction is being increasingly undertaken. This type of management is appropriate for patients in stage I or stage II of withdrawal who have no significant comorbid conditions and have a support person willing to monitor their progress. Adequate dosages of appropriate substitute medications are important for successful detoxification. In addition, comorbid psychiatric, personality and medical disorders must be managed, and social and environmental concerns need to be addressed. By providing supportive, nonjudgmental, yet assertive care, the family physician can facilitate the best possible chance for a patient's successful recovery.
Update on Oral Contraceptive Pills - Article
ABSTRACT: Oral contraceptive pills are widely used and are generally safe and effective for many women. The World Health Organization has developed a risk classification system to help physicians advise patients about the safety of oral contraceptive pills. The choice of pill formulation is influenced by clinical considerations. By choosing appropriately from the available pill formulations, family physicians can minimize negative side effects and maximize noncontraceptive benefits for their patients. Additional monitoring and follow-up are necessary in special populations, such as women over 35 years of age, smokers, perimenopausal women and adolescents. Third-generation progestins are additional options for achieving noncontraceptive benefits, but their use has raised new questions about thrombogenesis. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has labeled emergency postcoital contraception for use following unprotected coitus. Oral contraceptive pills are associated with few clinically significant drug interactions, although consideration of interactions remains important.
Clinically Significant Drug Interactions - Article
ABSTRACT: A large number of drugs are introduced every year, and new interactions between medications are increasingly reported. Consequently, it is no longer practical for physicians to rely on memory alone to avoid potential drug interactions. Multiple drug regimens carry the risk of adverse interactions. Precipitant drugs modify the object drug's absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion or actual clinical effect. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics and, in particular, rifampin are common precipitant drugs prescribed in primary care practice. Drugs with a narrow therapeutic range or low therapeutic index are more likely to be the objects for serious drug interactions. Object drugs in common use include warfarin, fluoroquinolones, antiepileptic drugs, oral contraceptives, cisapride and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors. Many other drugs, act as precipitants or objects, and a number of drugs act as both. Regularly updated manuals of drug interactions and CD-ROM-formatted programs are useful office references.

The city of Lynn Haven is getting ready to ask the voters whether they want the mayor and city commissioners to stay in office longer.
The commission will meet Tuesday night to talk about the limits and will have a final reading of the ballot question which will allow city voters to determine whether the mayor and commissioners should stay in office for four years instead of two.
Lynn Haven officials say campaigns can interfere with government business and increasing the length of term in office could actually limit the conflict.

I am getting a bit sick of the appropriation of the term 'liberal' by those whose actions are anything but liberal. I would count myself as a liberal insomuch as I believe the cornerstone of western liberal democracy is that people and government leave other people alone to get on with their lives as they see fit so long as they do not break laws that, in general, mean their actions are having an adverse effect on others.
I often criticise a 'metropolitan liberal elite' which comprises the political class that has overseen the erosion of basic freedoms. But this group is not liberal in any sense. They are in fact Marxists both temperamentally and politically. Indeed, it should not be forgotten that many of the New Labour movers and shakers such as Peter Mandelson and John Reid were actually members of the Communist party long after they could be forgiven as idealistic youths.
In essence their socialist policies were Marxist. They might not have overtly tried to seize the means of production through nationalisation but they did the next best thing, and politically a very smart thing, by engineering a monstrous enlargement of the pubic sector. Effectively they made government the biggest industry in the country.
But their biggest crime was to destroy so many of the basic freedoms that are the cornerstone of our society by deceiving the British population into believing that these surrenders were necessary in the name of security. Thus we ended up with the virtual destruction of habeas corpus – the very essence of British freedom – through their attempts to extend detention without trial to 90 days. We lost the right to free speech through the so-called hate laws and even a law making the glorification of terrorism a criminal offence. Their plan to make everyone carry ID cards was a non-starter but was all the same yet another attempt to make citizens responsible to government rather than the other way round.
Of course these laws, in the hands of a politicised judiciary and police force, were very quickly used against law-abiding members of society. These include the 15 year old boy arrested for describing Scientology as a cult on his banner at a protest march, the woman arrested for walking on a cycle path who fell foul of anti-terrorism laws and the Algerian pilot whose life was ruined after being jailed without trial on suspected terrorism charges for which there was not a single shred of evidence. And no doubt many others were caught in the wide net of an authoritarian regime that introduced more than 2,000 new criminal offences (though of course they still couldn't net Islamists parading with banners exhorting wholesale murder)
And what did we get in return in this Faustian pact ? Well certainly not any discernible improvement in security. But we did get new rights. Vacuous, niche rights to replace essential common rights. The right to benefits and gifts bestowed by the government themselves. Minority rights rather than majority freedom.
In essence the New Labour mistrust of the citizens of the UK was no different to that of Stalin, Mao or the Khmer Rouge towards their own people. In those regimes freedom was non-existent. The sad fact for Britain is that this mistrust, sometimes verging on disdain and even hatred, of ordinary people infects the DNA of almost every politician and local government official in the land, irrespective of their political hue.

hiking by stephen gorman
trekking tropical trails
Just beyond the northern boundary of Everglades National Park lies a vast, primordial swamp of dwarf pond cypresses and slash pine islands, of hardwood hammocks and wet prairies, of sawgrass marshes and mangrove forests. Here, in Big Cypress National Preserve, 700-year-old great cypresses somehow escaped the loggers' blades; blooming air plants perch on tropical hardwoods like flocks of strange birds at rest; and alligators slip into the dark pools of backwater sloughs.
These sights await the adventurous hikers who set out on the Florida Trail--a national scenic trail that will eventually stretch 1,300 miles to Gulf Islands National Seashore, on the western edge of Florida. Thirty-eight miles of the trail are in the preserve, and hiking this singular footpath is a chance to immerse yourself in the splendor of the tropical wilderness.
Once home to the Seminole Indians, whose reservation lies just to the north, Big Cypress National Preserve acts as a buffer between the fragile ecosystem of Everglades National Park and the land development sweeping unchecked across South Florida. But the preserve, which was established in 1974, not only protects the park from human sprawl, it provides the Everglades with its lifeblood. With a gradient of a scant two inches per mile all the way to the Gulf of Mexico, the vast sheet of water spreading through the preserve releases a gradual flow of nutrient-rich fresh water into the national park.
Today both ecologists and recreationists acclaim Big Cypress as a natural gem in its own right. The preserve's vast, swampy reaches are critical habitat for a rich and diverse wildlife community that includes alligators, black bears, white-tailed deer, and West Indian manatees. The endangered wood stork, the snail kite, and the red-cockaded woodpecker also find sanctuary in these 729,000 protected acres. Several Florida panthers, which now number fewer than 50, prowl behind the preserve's veil of Spanish moss and saw palmettos.
After a long day on the trail, you set up camp among the live oaks on a small hump of land, change into dry footwear, and relax. Stars glitter through the tangled branches overhead. Somewhere nearby, a bobcat's scream tears through the night, and you sit bolt upright. But when your heartbeat returns to normal, you smile, flushed with exhilaration--the lifting of the spirit that is the true gift of this wild and ancient place.

Part One – Recommendations for Leveling the Software Negotiations Playing Field
Part Two – Future Proofing Contracts by Maximizing Flexibility
Part Three – The Software Maintenance Game
Part Two – Future Proofing Contracts by Maximizing Flexibility
Flexibility is a really important issue within software deals, and one that is under-appreciated by software buyers, in my opinion. Among even my more sophisticated clients (those having been through relatively more deals over time), on flexibility issues I often hear, "That's a great idea, and quite honestly, that has never occurred to me." Flexibility issues simply are not on the minds of most software buyers.
So, what are we talking about in terms of flexibility within a software deal? Well, for me, flexibility centers mainly around expense items, license and service fees (maintenance and support). The goal is to create as much flexibility as possible for things like the base license structure, user license structure, and maintenance and support options.
For example, instead of checking the "single server" box in a schedule to denote the base license structure, and then checking the box for "100 to 300 users" to denote the tiered user license structure, and calling it done, we can accomplish a lot more. These should be regarded merely as the choices made at time of purchase. We want to create ability in the buyer to switch among all base and user license options available now, as well as those made available by the software vendor in the future, at any time and without penalty. In other words, this should not be, and does not have to be, a one-time, live-with-it-forever selection. Let's call this side of the flexibility ledger the "buyer options" side.
The other side of the flexibility ledger is called "vendor obligations". These are affirmative duties we create for the software vendor, and they feed into the buyer options and drive toward cost containment. For example, we want a software vendor to tell us whenever it introduces a new base or user license structure (or associated fee structure) during the life of deployment (because that may be the thriftier choice for us going forward). The new license or fee structure should be made known to us, on the one hand, and made available to us without a penalty for switching over to it, on the other. "We're tiered now, but we want to be on that new Flexi-Seat option."
Flexibility within software deals serves many purposes for software buyers, but cost containment is probably the main goal. On cost containment specifically, a strong and meaningful "most favored nations" provision (MFNP), and one that ties back to all flexibility issues, is critical. Have you ever known anyone who, if they managed to get one into their software deal, has ever benefitted from or enforced a traditional (impotent) MFNP? Personally, I do not. There's a lot of hay that can be made with this type of provision, and software buyers need to start to realize that. Think of an MFNP as the mirror image of a vendor's audit rights. Upon the occurrence of each license and compliance audit, you as a buyer get to do your MFNP audit, part of which requires your vendor to certify that you have gotten at least as good a deal as the best deal made available to the vendor's new and deployed users over the last revenue period, and if not, it's payback time. Now, isn't that a refreshing idea?
As a software buyer, you want to give yourself rights and avoid what I call the "Cable TV syndrome", where a new neighbor moves in, and you find she is paying less than a third of what you pay for the same Cable TV channel selection. And you have been a loyal cable subscriber for 8 years! That angers you, and software buyers are angered when they find out others are paying a third of what they pay for the same software. You may not have much ability to negotiate terms with your Cable TV provider before you sign on as a customer, but you have lots of ability to negotiate terms with your software vendor before you sign on as a customer.

Its Not All Right
Alexander Zaitchik
those proverbial future history books ever get written,
we'll all have nameless cameos as codefendants in Climate
v. Industrial Man. The whole gang will be there on the
page, billions of us pleading insanity or begging for mercy
from that most unmerciful of activist judges, Momma Nature.
the moment, it looks like the bitch is throwing the book
at us.
truth is, it's looked like that for a while now. As a young
environmental reporter in the mid-90s, I remember attending
climate symposia where scientists tried to explain the dizzyingly
complex models they used to predict the effects global warming
might have in the coming century. I always started doodling
when they went much beyond Popular Science, but I
took enough good notes to know that pretty much everything
predicted by mainstream climate scientists at the time has
come to pass.
a small reward to remember the Panglossian prattle of the
mainstream economists who were often asked to participate
in the post-conference debates. Some ex-Nixon advisor from
the local B-school would inevitably be on hand to guffaw
at the more pessimistic scenarios, then lecture everyone
about the damage overreaction, or any action, would do to
the economy. Sometimes these economists would point to an
obscure study claiming to show that climate change would
actually be a net boon to humanity. Russia would sprout
a citrus industry; Americans would save on winter heating
costs. Chilean wines would gain texture.
these guys were always the clowns of the show, dancing around
science that even then was pretty solid (or so it seemed
to the 2400 scientists who made up the UN Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change). Now that science is even more
solid, and no amount of creative editing in the White House
by dead-ender ExxonMobil agents will change that.
layman can forgo those impossibly complex climate models
and simply exercise some good old-fashioned Scottish empiricism.
Snow cover is disappearing at a startling clip from Mt.
Kilimanjaro to the Alps. Tundra is thawing from Siberia
to Saskatchewan, releasing carbon dioxide stored in the
ground (feedback loop #1). Ocean temperatures are rising,
releasing water vapor, a potent greenhouse gas (feedback
loop #2). Hurricanes are thus arriving bigger and badder
over the Gulf of Mexico with the regularity of Air Mexico
flights. Record-breaking heat waves are intensifying and
stretching out, with nightfall bringing little respite.
Record rains are flooding more corners of the globe more
often. Staple harvests are either leveling out or falling
in many countries due to drought and heat. (For an expert
walk through this last and most underreported phenomenon,
see Lester R. Brown's Outgrowing the Earth: The Food
Security Challenge in an Age of Falling Water Tables and
Rising Temperatures, W. W. Norton, 2005.)
in New York, the statewide average for the month of June
was 5.5 degrees higher than normal. Summer records have
been smashed up and down the Eastern seaboard, straining
electrical grids and forcing school districts to cancel
summer classes. Dozens have died in the Southwest. Cattle
are dropping like flies in the Badlands. All told, the National
Weather Service estimates that more than 200 heat records
have been broken in the U.S. in the past two weeks alone.
of this is all that extraordinary in the context of the
last decade. Visit the archives at your local library and
open a recently bound volume of newspapers at random. There's
certain to be a wire blurb about extreme weather wreaking
havoc somewhere, or some group of eggheads issuing a dire
warning connecting to some alarming new piece of evidence
of polar melting, rising ocean temperatures or species death.
It won't often make page one above the fold, but dig and
you'll find it.
this week. The latest egghead warning comes from MIT climatologist
Kerry Emanuel, who argues in the new edition of the journal
Nature: "The large upswing [in hurricanes] in
the last decade is unprecedented and probably reflects the
effect of global warming," in particular a one-degree
rise in average ocean surface temperatures. According to
Emanuel, the accumulated power of hurricanes in the Atlantic
basin has more than doubled since 1970, with the steepest
increase beginning in 1995. Natural cycles can at best account
for only part of this.
you still don't see that much weather coverage reminding
us that all of this stuff is of a piece. Extreme weather
in 2005 is given the Superbowl treatment like it was 1955;
lights, camera, action until the next big storyall crisis,
no context. Oh, look, it's Anderson Cooper in a windbreaker
again, squinting and pointing to some palm trees about to
snap. If the extreme event happens to occur in an incongruous
month, like snowfall in May, it is just called "unseasonable"
and left at that. Where would 21st-century tv news be without
the word unseasonable?
something dramatic like hurricane winds or steaming elderly
corpses, reporters are sometimes forced to get creative
in framing extreme-weather events. What can you say about
record-breaking but nonlethal heat, without referencing
the bigger picture? Not much. But you can make it snappy,
even happy. One of my favorite pieces of global-warming
journalism so far this summer is a July 30 Newsday
piece on the Northeast heat wave. The reporter doesn't ask
any scientists about climate change, but offers an upbeat
assessment from an upstate apple farmer, who says the pummeling
heat is darn good for sugar content. Stop worrying, start
of the politics of climate change is often just as bad.
In a piece entitled, "On Capitol Hill, a Flurry of
GOP Victories," the Washington Post lumped last
week's passage of a regressive energy bill into a discussion
of the transportation bill, the veteran's bill, a gun law
and CAFTA. USA Today framed its page-one story
on the bill in kitchen-table terms of what it means for
gas prices.
gas prices aren't the story here. Neither is GOP strength,
or Democratic weakness. The story is the ongoing failure
of both parties to elevate renewables to the status of a
21st-century Manhattan Project. In June, 11 national academies
of science representing every G8 nation signed the unforgivably
dry understatement: "The scientific understanding of
climate change is now sufficiently clear to justify taking
prompt action."
heard this warning a hundred times already, yet the only
"prompt action" taken by the House was to kill
Senate proposals for mandatory emissions cuts and steep
increases in the funding for renewables.
lieu of emissions limits, the final draft of the Energy
Policy Act of 2005 offered a 20th-century-style cornucopia
of tax breaks, subsidies and incentives to the fossil-fuel
and nuclear industries, with renewables coming in a distant
third like a panting Jimmy Carter. Out of $8b in breaks,
only $415m will go to clean alternatives.
missing from the House bill is a mandatory percentage goal
for renewables in the nation's energy mix, known as a Renewable
Portfolio Standard. Such fixed targets have long proved
themselves at the state level, including in New York. The
production tax credit for renewables, meanwhile, was grudgingly
extended a measly two years; a whopping $1.8b is earmarked
for the Willy Wonka project of making coal "clean."
of the few bright spots on the bill is a section requiring
the Department of Energy to establish a Climate Change Technology
Program to speed up interagency coordination of new technologies
and research. Of course, the fruits of this research would
be increased many times over if the dollar numbers in the
bill were flipped to the advantage of renewables, but it's
better than nothing.
scary thing is that it's 2005, and we're barely beyond using
"nothing" as a comparative benchmark for progress.
Someone get Anderson Cooper a new set of windbreakers. He's
gonna need them. And so are we.
