News The Candidates' Reactions
posted by April 18 at 16:27 PMon
The NYT has the '08 presidential candidates' reactions to today's Supreme Court decision. A few excerpts:
Todays decision blatantly defies the Courts recent decision in 2000 striking down a state partial-birth abortion law because of its failure to provide an exception for the health of the mother. As the Supreme Court recognized in Roe v. Wade in 1973, this issue is complex and highly personal; the rights and lives of women must be taken into account.
The ban upheld by the Court is an ill-considered and sweeping prohibition that does not even take account for serious threats to the health of individual women. This hard right turn is a stark reminder of why Democrats cannot afford to lose the 2008 election. Too much is at stake - starting with, as the Court made all too clear today, a womans right to choose.
I am extremely concerned that this ruling will embolden state legislatures to enact further measures to restrict a womans right to choose, and that the conservative Supreme Court justices will look for other opportunities to erode Roe v. Wade, which is established federal law and a matter of equal rights for women.
And from the Republicans:
Todays Supreme Court ruling is a victory for those who cherish the sanctity of life and integrity of the judiciary. The ruling ensures that an unacceptable and unjustifiable practice will not be carried out on our innocent children. It also clearly speaks to the importance of nominating and confirming strict constructionist judges who interpret the law as it is written.
The Supreme Court reached the correct conclusion in upholding the congressional ban on partial birth abortion. I agree with it.
Today, our nations highest court reaffirmed the value of life in America by upholding a ban on a practice that offends basic human decency. This decision represents a step forward in protecting the weakest and most innocent among us.

UCS Scientist vs Joe Bastardi on tonight's Colbert Report
UPDATE: You can watch the video here. It's somewhere between pointless and unhelpful.
UCS climate scientist Brenda Ekwurzel goes head to head with a skeptical meteorologist during "couples counseling" tonight on the Colbert Report (Comedy Central, 11:30 p.m. EDT).
And that skeptical meteorologist would be none other than InAccuweather's long-range conspiracy theorist Joe Bastardi!
Good luck Brenda! And no, I don't think that "marriage" can be saved.
For people who haven't read my various debunkings of Bastardi, start here: Joe Bastardi can't read a temperature anomaly map and so spins another conspiracy theory and Accuweather's Joe Bastardi admits, "Earth continues warmest winter since satellite measurements started" and "Feb should be warmest on record!!!"
20 Responses to UCS Scientist vs Joe Bastardi on tonight's Colbert Report
Thanks for the heads-up… Should be entertaining. I'll have to make sure I catch it tonight.
He is embarrassing my profession.
Argh! He was spouting bull$#!* about the arctic ice being back among other crap – Colbert is great but I am not sure if this helped us.
Hi Dan (and thanks for your kind e-mail about my event you saw on-line)!
For the record, the previous commenter Dan Satterfield is for my money the finest TV weathercaster in the U.S. for understanding and communicating climate change. He has a wonderful understanding of the science, constantly reading the peer-reviewed literature (we're in the same e-mail group and we get stuff from scientists all the time, including a paper today from Gabe Vecchi questioning whether AGW is influencing the ENSO cycle – nothing definitive yet) and he is a masterful communicator.
Dan's in Huntsville, Alabama where John Christy is at the University of Alabama, Huntsville (how'd UAH get into the NCAA hockey tournament, Dan?) but don't let the small market fool you, Dan is a Ready for Primetime Player. Anybody needing a speaker about climate change in Alabama or the South or (with a speaker's budget) in the nation should look up Dan, who I hear is a dynamite forecaster as well.
My dream is to create a media outlet ultimately including TV focusing on climate change and related issues where the pundits are Hansen, Romm, McKibben, many others – and Satterfield.
Oh, and Stu Ostro is Senior Meteorologist at the Weather Channel, occasionally on-camera where he does a great job, and he's the other great speaker about climate change I know about who is in TV weather. Paul Gross in Michigan and others sound great as well, but Satterfield and Ostro are the two I've seen speak and they're awesome. Ostro's hypothesis about AGW creating a greater likelihood of often record or near-record high pressure ridges often accompanied by corresponding cut-off lows is really great, ground-breaking, important and scary stuff.
Oh, for once on-topic I think Dan and Stu are a little better than Bastardi at understanding climate change, as are their dogs.
It was more silly than anything, but at least Colbert got in a lot of potshots at TV weathermen.
Not long ago Bastardi said "to me its all about the weather".
Yet he continues to make ignorant climate predictions, claiming it's all about PDO, despite there being one negative and one positive PDO cycle since 1950, and 0.6°C global warming over that period.
Bastardi should shut up about the climate, stop embarrassing himself, and try to get a few weather predictions right.
Holy spit take. Joe, you and Monckton go feed the pigeons with Gray.
It was an odd broadcast all the way around, touching on many things you've talked about here, Joe. It looks like Colbert's staff reads Climate Progress.
But Colbert was dancing like a butterfly so that no cogent points could be made, and Bastardi just spewed complete and utter nonsense but he did it with such conviction that this scored more points for the deniers.
It was actually frustrating to watch and if Colbert and his producers and writers care about the lives of their children and grandchildren (the problem is that they're mostly in their twenties and can't conceive of caring about anything other than their careers), they should set the record straight about this and have Joe on by himself.
Colbert usually gets it right on most of society's hot button issues in ways that raise awareness, which this "cat fight" clearly did on the topic of meterologists vs. climatologists and other scientists re: climate change causes. I think I disagree that this helped the denialists (comments 3 and 6) — Colbert fans are typically higher up on the IQ scale than, say, fans of Glenn Beck, and mostly get the nuances woven throughout Colbert's endearing style and TV persona (a sort of right-wing-nut-with-attention-deficit-issues). Also let's remind ourselves that Colbert nation is a comedy show on comedy central, more serious sober discussions are left to others. Brenda did a good job of sounding well-informed and reasonable; Bastardi came off as sounding like a know-it-all who doesn't have his facts right. So maybe this will raise just enough curiosity so more people will wake up to the fact that the vast majority of TV Weathermen lack the education and training to speak with any authority on climate change. And by the way I second Joe's fave title of late, "If global warming kills us, Blame the Weatherman," posted a few days ago. Someone needs to take this format, expand it, and host a well organized public debate that vets this point and drives home the need to either train MSM weather predictors on climate science or get them to shut up about it altogether and leave it to the real experts.
Since no one posted the link to the piece yet, there it is.
#5, "Bastardi should shut up about the climate, stop embarrassing himself, and try to get a few weather predictions right."
Has anyone heard so much as "Boo" out of these guys the last month and a half, and especially the last week? They were all so quick to jump on the "global warming is disproven" bandwagon when we had a week's cold snap in January and some major snowstorms in February. Now, with high temperatures fully 30 F (THIRTY?) above normal, I continue hearing crickets. Actually, not crickets, last night I heard the hum of numerous air conditioning units, something I never dreamed of hearing on April 6.
I know, I know, it's just weather in a relatively localized area. But if "you" commented about how the week-long January cold and February snows (also in a relatively localized area) "disproved" global warming, where are the comments about the March/April heat?
A meteorologists are not by definition a person who does not understand climate science. Take for example Bert Bolin, a Swedish meteorologist who was part of creating IPCC and also was its first chairman (1988-98).
I agree with Dan Satterfield; Bastardi is embarrassing a profession. I though wouldn't call Bastardi a colleague.
/Martin Hedberg, meteorologist
[JR: It's different in Europe, I'm told.]

Wow, JB stated that glaciers are advancing! He is really out in left field, isn't he?

Global Warming: Man or Myth?

"Global Warming Fact of the Day" Facebook Group
[JR: Great link there. You should do a guest post for CP. Bastardi and his ilk spread disinformation via the Gish Gallup. Hard to out-debate.]
JR, I would be happy to do a guest post. Did you wish me to do a guest post related to my Modern Day Climate Change page or just the Ice section? Or something else?
Yup, pretty much pointless.
It was helpful though! Now I know that global warming is 'caused by the Pacific Decadal Oscillation'!
Oh yes, Joe Bastardi really is impressive in his knowledge of climate dynamics. Not.
Any of you the climate denier types want to explain how this works? I'll give you a hint to get you started:
The PDO is only one of the following three things:
1) Pacific
2) Decadal
3) Oscillatory
Which one?
The 5 minute plus introduction was great.
Although this is The Colbert Report, Bastardi's debate tactics and Stephen's moderation style show the difficulty of engaging in a productive debate on climate science with a skeptic. Interestingly, I think it confirms Joe's view that real debates, which are problematic for many reasons (e.g., putting disinformers on seemingly equal footing with adherents of mainstream science) are generally futile.
Obviously, this is a comedy show, but it is still instructive that Bastardi makes stuff up (glaciers are increasing) and no one really calls him on it. He also aggressively questions the pre-satellite temperature record likely knowing that no time for the necessarily detailed and nuanced response is possible. Thus, from a debating standpoint, Bastardi looks like the winner because he is confident and aggressive even though most of what he says is nonsense.
To win a real debate of this sort, the person debating the skeptic has to aggressively take apart their opponent's qualifications and expertise and their opponent's case, calling out lies as lies, while remaining reasonably likeable and confident. Merely stating and defending one's own case in a format like this is a losing strategy.
As Stephen aptly notes, most people don't know enough to understand the arguments anyway, so they'll agree with the person who confirms their pre-existing views. Because debates give skeptics more stature than they deserve and moving debate observers from strongly held views is incredibly difficult, debates are not likely to move public opinion and, therefore, not worth the time and effort.
I think we really do need a prime time presidential speech on the science to move forward from where we are now as a country on policy. One of the things that impressed me most about President Obama's campaign was his willingness to treat us as adults in discussing race and race relations in America. He needs to do the same with climate change.
First let me be upfront that I am a friend and colleague of Joe Bastardi and have known him for 36 years. I am not a so-called denier, but I am skeptical about everything I hear and see from anyone on this issue. I see that nearly all of the comments here are negative toward Joe (which doesn't surprise me given the tenet of people on this site). But nowhere here do I see anyone comment on Brenda's statements as also being problematic. For example, when asked why she thinks global warming is man-made she pointed to changes such as glaciers melting and sea-levels rising, which in themselves may indicate warming but say nothing about the causes.
[JR: I have blogged repeatedly on the absurdly anti-scientific statements of Bastardi. Scientists are inherently skeptical, but they don't ignore reams and reams of scientific observations and peer-reviewed studies. The fact that most of the warming is due to human causes has been well established through attribution studies. On TV, one has to pick which scientific arguments you are going to make in a limited space. Brenda's statements are accurate — I'm sure she wishes she had time to get into the fact that humans were the cause before she got interrupted. Bastardi's claim about glaciers among other things was an outright falsehood.]
Ms. Ekwurzel near the end of the clip just threw out an appeal to authority, as opposed to any actual evidence. Something about the American Meteorological Society having an official statement about the warming of the last hundred and fifty years or so being man-made. A logical fallacy while debating.
I suspect that quite a few people watching won't take Bastardi's word for it but will in fact try to look it up. And that is much more important than whether any actual points where made in the "debate".
Just saw the repeat — slightly painful even though I think Colbert was trying. They should've called you.

Life at Sea Means Leaving Stability Behind
Brea Evan's career reinvention finds her standing in tons of Pacific Ocean perch aboard a fishining boat. She's working as an observer aboard the Alaska Warrior.
Her job, among other things, is to monitor what kinds of fish are being caught and in what quantities. She files reports used by the National Marine Fisheries Service.
She is on a different planet from where she was three months ago, when she worked as a research assistant in a windowless lab at the University of Texas at Galveston. She was making about $28,000 dollars a year and life was stable, too stable.
She's thinking she'll sick with her new gig as an observer for at least one, maybe two years.
The money's good — $130 per day — even if the hours are horrendous. And then there's the downtime — months at a stretch. Her first stop will likely be a warm beach.

Post-College Internships
Are you a recent college grad still looking for a job and unsure of how to take the first step on your career path? Don't rule out a post-graduate internship or temporary job placement.
Although internships are mostly known as a tool for people still in college, both internships and temporary jobs can be an efficient way for grads to test out a career. They may also open the door to a better position than you'd get as an entry-level permanent hire.
Two years ago, at age 22, California Polytechnic State University grad Nikki Jackson decided she wasn't ready to plunge into a profession related to her major, child development. Her competing interest in business pulled her away from plans to get a master's degree in teaching, but she says she "wasn't getting anywhere with [full-time] job postings I was finding online."
Ms. Jackson turned to recruiting agency Nelson Staffing for a free consultation. She filled out questionnaires and discussed her career interests, and within a week took a six-month placement in the marketing department at Safeway.
A Good Fit
"I never had a specific path in mind but I knew after a month of working at Safeway, I wanted to stay there," she says. Ms. Jackson says she wouldn't have discovered all the opportunities the company could offer through a single interview. And because she performed well on the job, after three months she was offered a higher-than-entry-level position as a pricing analyst.
If your search for full-time jobs is coming up empty, viewing a temporary placement as an extended interview may be your ticket to a dream job. You can try to land a temporary gig at a particular company by asking that company for the name of the temp agency it typically uses, says John Sullivan, a management professor at San Francisco State University.
A recent survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers found employers offer full-time jobs to nearly two out of three of their interns.
A temporary placement creates a low-risk environment to get to know a company's culture while establishing a relationship with an employer. You can demonstrate your talents and aptitude, so both you and the employer can determine if you are a good fit for the firm.
When evaluating internships and staffing companies, CareerExposure.com spokeswoman Lisa MacKenzie cautions against unpaid placements and companies that charge for placement, because "it shows they don't value your work." Note that internships typically do not offer benefits, but many staffing companies offer a variety of benefit options.
Stay On or Go?
Even if a temporary placement doesn't turn into a full-time job, it can enhance your chances of securing employment elsewhere and put you in touch with people you can ask for career advice and referrals.
However, it is essential to coordinate your expectations with the company's. Go into the internship with a specific learning plan. Midway through your placement, scan internal job postings (another perk of temporary work) and think about where you might fit in. Set up a meeting with your boss to discuss permanent employment and ask about the proper steps to take.
Ultimately, it will be hard work and tenacity that will earn you that full-time position.

Lawn Order: As Southwest dries up, some homeowners 'green' their lawns with paint!
Whoever said we can't adapt to climate change?
There used to be two kinds of homeowners in this scorching city, those with dazzling green lawns irrigated by sprinklers and those with more natural backyard expanses of rocks, cactuses and desert flora, which required no watering at all.
Now, though, the grass may be greener next door simply because of a fresh coast of paint.
This idea is almost up there with the plans of Versace, "to create the world's first refrigerated beach." The NY Times front-page (!) story, Spraying to Make Yards Green … but With Paint, Not Water," continues:
Homeowners' associations in this arid region typically have rules requiring residents to maintain either desert landscaping or green grass, with brown lawns not an option….
The grass spraying business took off here as the housing crisis escalated and real estate brokers were looking to quickly increase the curb appeal of abandoned properties on the cheap. A lawn painting, using a vegetable-based dye, can cost about $200. Vigorous homeowners' associations, which can fine owners thousands of dollars if a dispute drags on, have also been good for business, said Klaus Lehmann of Turf-Painters Enterprise.
I wonder how much it would cost to paint the lawns by hand?
Let's run through the lawn options as the Southwest turns into a Dust Bowl (see USGS on Dust-Bowlification: Drier conditions projected to accelerate dust storms in the U.S. Southwest and U.S. southwest could see a 60-year drought like that of 12th century "" only hotter "" this century).
You can paint your lawn, of course. Then there's artificial turf:
Michael Hague, a neighbor, has a different solution, artificial turf, which has been a compromise choice in some Arizona neighborhoods for a while now. He says it helps him save time, money and confrontations with the homeowners' association.
"It's easier to have fake grass," Mr. Hague said, looking over his deep green, perfectly trimmed yard. "You don't have to worry about it. It doesn't fade."
So realistic is his turf, he said proudly, that a neighbor once mentioned to someone else on the street how green the Hague lawn was, not realizing it was made in a factory.
But, surprisingly, that doesn't work for some:
But "plastic grass," as Ed Cunningham, a firefighter who lives nearby, calls the artificial stuff, gets too hot on bare feet in the Arizona sun. He hires a landscaper to handle the painstaking process of planting Bermuda grass, which eventually goes dormant in the winter and is supplemented with rye grass, which dies out in the spring. Keeping the lawn irrigated means his water bill is higher than some of his neighbors', but the look and feel of the real thing is worth the expense, he said.
But, surprisingly, that doesn't work for some in the increasingly arid SW:
But do not get devotees of xeriscaped yards, as desert landscaping is known, started about the deleterious effects of all that grass planted around the desert, wastefully sapping water, a valuable and scarce commodity here….
Costs of the various approaches vary widely. Desert landscaping saves substantially on water and maintenance, and can be installed on a bare-bones budget or a high-end one, especially if towering saguaro cactuses are involved. Lawn paint lasts about three months before turning an odd shade of blue and costs only a couple of hundred dollars for a modest lawn, although the grass still needs to be watered so that it will not die out entirely.
Plastic grass, probably the costliest option at the outset, still varies in price depending on how close to natural it looks and feels. Watering and trimming costs disappear, though occasional sweeping may be necessary.
See also "Green acres: The art of xeriscaping."
What does the future hold?
"We're seeing a trend away from grass," said Rodney Glassman, who got his Ph.D. in arid land resource sciences at the University of Arizona. He introduced legislation while serving on the Tucson City Council requiring new commercial buildings to collect and reuse rainwater and promoting the reuse of some water in new homes….
Marty Campisi, who runs Desert Oasis Landscape Design and Concepts in Phoenix, has desert in his backyard and promotes the natural approach, reminding customers that many municipalities offer financial incentives to those who convert from grass….
As for painting the grass, Mr. Campisi does not even bring that up. "It's crazy," he said. "It's putting a Band-Aid on the situation."
Perhaps the best term for it would be 'maladaption.'
And speaking of putting a Band-Aid on the situation, the NY Times ran this as a front page story today, presumably as some sort of ironic human interest story.
But in this entire piece on how people are dealing with the lack of water in the arid Southwest, the NYT doesn't see fit to provide any bigger-picture context. Yes, water is "a valuable and scarce commodity" — but how about explaining how the massive influx of people in recent decades has exacerbated the problem? And could we mention just once that the region is expected to get drier and drier thanks to human-caused climate change?
The fact is that how the Southwest (and the world) responds to Dust-Bowlification is going to be one of the biggest climate change stories in this country in the coming years (See NCAR analysis warns we risk multiple, devastating global droughts even on moderate emissions path). But you'd never know that from this context-free story.

Palm Springs, California, is filled with golf courses and watered lawns because the water is cheap there. Under the city is a fossil aquifer, which will be drained in either decades or centuries.
In Yucca Valley, 25 miles north of Palm Springs, water is delivered from the Mojave Water District via Owens Valley pipelines. This isn't quite sustainable either, but it's very expensive, so there are no lawns, few swimming pools, and only one golf course. The boulder and native plant lawns are much more attractive, too. Phoenix is kind of hillbilly and not catching on, but it will eventually.
Water, oil, and gas are all way too cheap. Prices that reflect scarcity and environmental costs are the simple solution. They are rarely implemented because fossil fuel and water developers want to maintain large markets. We should not allow this to happen.
What, you've not heard of desalination out there in Arizona ?
Let's not be too scornful, at least the homeowners association accept xeriscaping now, for the most part. This hasn't always been true.
And would you rather have people water their lawn all summer, or just dye them? While it is silly, I'm a bit sympathetic to the homeowners, who would be fined if they let their lawns go dormant and brown, rather than dormant and dyed. At least they're letting them go dormant …
I agree with dhogaza (#3). Dying a lawn is stupid but better than the alternative of watering it. And a stupid expensive thing won't last long. Lawn painting seems to me to be destined to be a short lived transition out of "green" lawn laws. It is like switching coal to natural gas on the way to renewables.
Anyone following the water and climate trends know that lawns in dust-bowlizona are toast in the near future — painted or not.
Painted lawns reminds me of some guys I knew in college who had a pretty messy dorm room but also had one of the most amazingly healthy looking giant fern plants hanging from the ceiling. Everyone who went in was drawn to it and usually asked what their secret was.
The lads would just smile and recommend people feel the foliage. If you did so you found it crumbled into powder in your hands. It was a long dead dried-out fern they spray painted a lovely shade of green rather than throw out. Classic dorm prank worth tonnes of laughs.
As a strategy for dealing with climate destabilization — not so much.
If we could get them to paint their lawns white we might reduce global warming a bit. ;)
Changes in design-mind perameters come easiest with great examples for stimulation. Google Images is quite rewarding for a search on "lawn alternative" – without the " marks. A selection of options curated over time would be even better. More …
In the UK when water is short they impose a hosepipe ban. Then they fly overhead and prosecute anyone with a green lawn!
With respect to your mainly American readership, I figured Americans were slightly insane several decades ago. Trees grow everywhere where we lived and most gardens have as many as they want. Then a nice family from Texas moved in next door – he had been sent over to head up the UK launch of some sort of concentrated washing up liquid pyramid selling scheme. The first thing they did was unpack a 12 foot high genuine plastic tree and put it proudly on display in the front garden.
Several of my American and Canadian friends consider me quite dippy when I rush around turning off taps freely running for no purpose, mentioning dripping taps etc. And then I discovered that some of them didn't even have water meters! ME
The pictures of dust storms past and present bring up a need for well-attached ground cover. The plastic lawn seems a dead end choice in that regard. The plastic layer surely heats up the soil underneath and limits seeds from maturing. If a wind can lift off the plastic layer, what is underneath is likely to be loose dust, although it might hold some moisture at first.
A neighborhood full of xeri-scaping plantings with actual roots seems like better insurance against having the living room window sand-blasted, or dust in the sheets and corn flakes.
Just use light colored sand and rock for your x-scape.
The drought in the Colorado River Basin is easing this year:
Here's a page that says:
For April 10th, 2011
Snowpack is 118% of avg
TotalPrecip is 119.00% of avg
If it keeps the homeowners association happy, then I would do it. Yes it is stupid, but less stupid than coping a fine.
me@9 Water meters, yes! I'm often flabbergasted when online with Brit friends – they start complaining when water meters are installed in their area.
Though it does highlight the differences affecting us where we live. I recall collapsing with hysterical laughter when I heard some years ago that at least one area in Britain called it a 'drought' when they'd had no rainfall for a fortnight. I still can't imagine living anywhere and feeling comfortable relying on near daily rainfall for a water supply.
they probably want rather to see an illusion of youth and growth rather than the reality. are lawns cut because they don't like grassroot movements? then a suprise if the whole plant community dies. 'do not cut your lawn unless it has rained' (quite a bit) was a guideline in some gardening book, and I've been applying this ever since.
Probably we will not be able to stop scarcity of water in some areas but we are smart enough to cope with it. Many homeowners had realised already that if they want to have fresh looking lawn in front yard of their home it is rather economically unsustainable. As I could see on many places they choose the option of xeri-scaping garden and it works perfectly. Why we should go in artificial way when we have other natural options?
I first encountered the artificial yard thirty-five years ago on Siesta Key, Florida, where there is plenty of rain but the wealthy absentee owners did not want to be bothered with maintaining something as annoying as Nature. I was both fascinated and disgusted by the fact and concept of plastic, artificial turf (oh, football stadia; now I know where this idea came from)but I still don't understand why people are so divorced from the natural world that they think this is a grand idea (oh, air conditioning). Spraying grass a green color is not much better than a plastic or concrete lawn.
I think that the real reason that places like Phoenix and Palm Springs have grass lawns at all is that if people there all had xeriscapes then they would have to admit they're living in a bone-dry desert, and that would be dispiriting and unnerving. Time will take care of that.
Homeowner associations are more annoying than Mother Nature. They're usually run by get-a-life mini-despots. I despise them.
I live in Britain and I have to be honest – we do not have a water meter installed. As a result we are definitely far more casual about wasting water than gas/electricity. In the UK we are not (as far as I know) mining ancient aquifers – water is replenished by rainfall in a sustainable way and when it gets low we manage the situation with hosepipe bans and so on. In this respect the situation is not the same as parts of the US.
The only problem is that water carries a CO2 footprint from the energy required for processing, pumping etc. For that reason alone they should really roll out meters to all households.
To Joan Savage, if done properly there is a 3 inch layer of 1/4 minus chat (crumbled up granite) under the artificial grass. It is then nailed into the ground every 3 to 6 inches around the perimeter and seams and sporadically throughout the middle. It then has a layer of sand or rubber sand like particles brushed into it to fill it in, so blowing off the ground is not really an issue unless it is a tornado or something.
Honestly, the people who live in the Southwest are capable of having some of the BEST looking yards out there using the desert landscaping, such as rocks and cacti… rather than having to spray paint their yards… or putting down some expensive astroturf.
Just my opinion ;)

I'm working on a multi-threaded program where I have a number of worker threads performing tasks of unequal length. I want to load-balance the tasks to ensure that they do roughly the same amount of work. For each task Ti I have a number ci which provides a good approximation to the amount of work that is required for that task.
I'm looking for an efficient (O(N) N = number of tasks or better) algorithm which will give me "roughly" a good load balance given the values of ci. It doesn't have to be optimal, but I would like to be able to have some theoretical bounds on how bad the resulting allocations are.
Any ideas?

Advise, blight ovum
Comments (10)
So sorry to hear that Meisha. :( A blighted ovum the result of a non-viable pregnancy; there are chromosomal abnormalities or something wrong with the fertilized egg that don't allow it to develop. I don't think it should have anything to do with you getting pregnant again, and it's usually a one-time occurance. Good luck!!
Yes, I had one. It is a fluke and is not related to UD. I wouldn't even call it a miscarriage necessarily because nothing develops to miscarry. In my case I did have a D&C, but it was basically just getting rid of an empty sack and excess uterine lining. Anyway, I conceived my DD 3 months after my blighted ovum, so hopefully you will have the same luck!
I'm Allie, happy mom to:
Jonah (March 2, 2008 @36 weeks)
Serena (March 4, 2011 @34 weeks)
Sorry you're going through this. I hope you conceive soon! We can certainly share our own experiences, but make sure you asking your doctor some of these questions and getting medical advice too. Even though we all have UD or a similar anamoly, we are all a little different and issues with TTC can vary SO much from person to person. Good luck!
I'm currently pregnant, but my pregnancy started out as a twin pregnancy, however one of them was a blighted ovum. My doc said it stopped developing around 5-5.5 weeks, the gestational sac formed but the fetal pole never did. I obviously didn't have a D&C because of the surviving twin, but the sac did break down (no longer visible by ultrasound) and I did have some light bleeding but because my cervix won't open due to still being pregnant, the majority of the bleeding will just have to wait till I deliver.

Below is a link to a previous thread from 2009. I was wondering if anyone else has done a neurectomy & fascitomy (or knows someone who has done this procedure) since then. This is what my vet is recommending for my gelding with a hind leg high suspensory injury. He tore his suspensory many years ago and somehow he has done it again despite all efforts to wrap him in bubble wrap. I've googled it and seen some really positive personal experiences and satisfactory clinical results.
Any info would be helpful! thanks!

Man gets prison for ATV crashJanuary 17,2014
ST. JOHNSBURY — The driver of an all-terrain vehicle that crashed in Vermont in 2012, leaving himself and a passenger seriously injured, has been sentenced to at least 18 months in prison.
Dylan Cady, 23, of Barnet, reached a plea agreement with prosecutors in Caledonia County criminal court Monday to settle multiple charges.
Police said an intoxicated Cady was so concerned about getting caught with drugs he was carrying that he begged witnesses who came upon the crash not to call 911. His passenger was lying in the middle of the road, losing blood and suffering from a compound fracture to her leg.
Cady pleaded no contest to five charges. He was convicted of two counts of drunken driving and other charges.MORE IN This Just InBURLINGTON As part of a federal effort to dismantle drug trafficking organizations in Vermont,...

President Barack Obamas Cannabis Industry Statements Mark Historical Support For The Cannabis Industry
Category: News | Posted on Tue, December, 18th 2012 by THCFinder
President Obama, in an interview with Barbara Walters of ABC News on December 13, 2012, stated, "It would not make sense for us to see a top priority as going after recreational users in states that have determined that it's legal." Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper proclaimed Amendment 64 as amending the state constitution on December 10, 2012 just days after Washington State Initiative 502 formally became law, legalizing the recreational use of cannabis.
CNBC estimates that the Cannabis industry is a $40 Billion dollar a year business. Internal estimates illustrate the Cannabis industry is closer to $73 Billion a year, with some industry estimates placing it over $100 Billion. There are now 18 states that have some type of legal Cannabis Program, along with several countries including Canada, the Czech Republic, and Israel.

Push to decriminalize marijuana to launch in Ga.
Category: News | Posted on Mon, December, 17th 2012 by THCFinder
Should you go to prison if you smoke pot in Georgia? One group plans to argue emphatically that you should not. A campaign to decriminalize marijuana in Georgia will be launched Monday at the State Capitol.
All News 106.7's Connie Cummings reports that the Georgia Campaign for Access, Reform and Education will hold a news conference to urge state lawmakers to include reforming Georgia's marijuana laws as they reform the criminal justice system. One member of that group, James Bell, says the state effort to stop filling prisons with non-violent offenders should include marijuana laws.
Bell also says they want lawmakers to modernize the state's medical marijuana law and make use of an existing state law that taxes marijuana.

Obama: Time for "conversation" on marijuana laws
Category: News | Posted on Fri, December, 14th 2012 by THCFinder
President Obama said he does not support marijuana legalization but that it's time to have a "conversation" on the matter now that Washington state and Colorado have legalized the drug at the state level.
"This is a tough problem, because Congress has not yet changed the law," Mr. Obama said in an interview with ABC's Barbara Walters. "I head up the executive branch; we're supposed to be carrying out laws. And so what we're going to need to have is a conversation about, how do you reconcile a federal law that still says marijuana is a federal offense and state laws that say that it's legal?"
Though Colorado and Washington voters in November approved ballot initiatives that legalize recreational marijuana use, as well as its regulation and taxation, the drug is still banned under the federal Controlled Substances Act. The Obama administration has yet to say how it will respond, but it has a number of choices: Its options include taking a hands-off approach and letting the states proceed, enforcing the federal law itself and raiding state-sanctioned marijuana sellers once they're established next year, or suing the states.
As Mr. Obama alluded to, some members of Congress are supporting legislation to amend the Controlled Substances Act, to exempt its enforcement against marijuana in states that have legalized the drug. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy plans on holding a hearing early next year to consider the federal government's options.
Mr. Obama told Walters that while "the federal government has a lot to do when it comes to criminal prosecutions... it does not make sense from a prioritization point of view to for us to focus on recreational drug users in a state that has already said under state law that's legal."
Federal drug law enforcement, however, hardly ever targets individual drug users. Instead, if the administration chose to enforce federal law, it would likely target commercial distributors. Alison Holcomb, the drug policy director for the ACLU of Washington state and an author of the state's marijuana ballot initiative, told CBSNews.com that marijuana use shouldn't be particularly risky for individuals in the state.
"Federal law enforcement resources tend to be focused on major organized crime," she said. "It is very, very rare that marijuana use is subjected to federal enforcement," unless users are on federal lands like national parks. "By and large, the DEA has much better things to do than go after the marijuana users."

Spokane planning for marijuana stores
Category: News | Posted on Fri, December, 14th 2012 by THCFinder
SPOKANE, Wash. – Spokane is starting to plan for the shops that will open in about a year to sell recreational marijuana.
City Councilman Jon Snyder says the city needs to identify where shops can go, following regulations in the new Washington law that will keep them 1,000 feet away from schools, playgrounds, parks, libraries and transit centers.
Snyder tells KREM ( http://bit.ly/UFPjOO) the city has a lot of work to do to protect the community and establish rules for what could be a lucrative business.

Detroit police remain unclear on handling of marijuana possession in wake of legalization
Category: News | Posted on Thu, December, 13th 2012 by THCFinder
DETROIT — Detroit voters overwhelmingly supported decriminalization of small amounts of marijuana in November, but so far it doesn't appear anything has changed from the government or legal perspectives.
Not one of the four agencies MLive Detroit spoke to about the law said they have instructed officers to discontinue arrests or citations for marijuana possession in the city, based on the guidelines of the proposal.
The proposal voters passed 65-35 over a month ago says it's now legal for anyone over 21 to possess up to one ounce of marijuana on private property in Detroit.
State police said the proposal has no bearing on their enforcement operations. Get caught with pot and you'll be cited under a misdemeanor violation of state possession laws and subject to $2,000 in fines and up to a year in jail, said State Police Lt. Mike Shaw.
"We don't enforce local ordinances, so nothing has changed for us," Shaw said. "Mariuana is still illegal for us according to state law. Anyone who doesn't have a medical marijuana card will be arrested for state possession" violation.
Shaw said any agency is allowed to write a violation based on the state law, even with the success of the proposal.
The Detroit Police Department seems to be in limbo on the matter.

Former president Jimmy Carter OK with legalizing marijuana
Category: News | Posted on Tue, December, 11th 2012 by THCFinder
Former President Jimmy Carter said he is in favor of legalizing marijuana during a public panel that CNN aired Tuesday.
CNN anchor Suzanne Malveaux asked Carter whether he supported marijuana's legalization during a forum hosted by The Captain Planet Foundation on Friday in Georgia.
"I'm in favor of it. I think it's OK," Carter told Malveaux. "I don't think it's going to happen in Georgia yet, but I think we can watch and see what happens in the state of Washington for instance around Seattle and let the American government and let the American people see does it cause a serious problem or not."
Washington and Colorado voted to legalize recreational marijuana last month, becoming the first two states to do so, putting state laws at odds with federal laws. U.S. officials remain critical of the laws passing.
Carter said that decriminalizing drugs doesn't necessarily mean more drug users.
"All drugs were decriminalized in Portugal a few years ago and the use of drugs has gone down dramatically and nobody has been put in prison," Carter said.
He added: "So I think a few places around the world is good to experiment with and also just a few states in America are good to take the initiative and try something out. That's the way our country has developed over the last 200 years. It's about a few states being kind of experiment states. So on that basis I am in favor of it."
Carter's remarks come following last Thursday's premiere of "Breaking the Taboo," filmmaker Sam Branson's documentary that says the global drug war failed and in which the former president criticized former first lady Nancy Reagan's "Just Say No" anti-drug campaign.
Carter noted that when he was president, he wanted to decriminalize marijuana.
"When I was president, in 1979 I made my definitive speech about drugs and I called for the decriminalization of marijuana. This was in 1979 — not for the legalization but the decriminalization to keep people from being put in prison just because they were smoking a marijuana cigarette," Carter said.

Top-ranked Tiger Woods was thoroughly humbled by Oak Hill for the second time at a PGA Championship, failing to crack par at the course Sunday for an eighth major round.
Spending much of the final round of the year's last major tournament touring the trees and testing the thick rough at the 7,163-yard layout, Woods fired a par-70 to finish 72 holes on four-over par 284.
With most of the field still on the course, Woods was in jeopardy of his worst 72-hole performance in a major as a professional, worse even than his share of 40th at last year's Masters or his share of 29th at the 2003 PGA Championship, also at Oak Hill.
Woods finished on 12-over 292 in the 2003 PGA at Oak Hill, his low round a 72.
Sunday marked the sixth round in a row at a PGA Championship that Woods has failed to crack par and the 11th time in his past 12 major rounds that Woods has failed to break par -- the lone exception being a 69 in the first round of last month's British Open that was his only sub-70 major round of the year.
Woods began Sunday with seven pars before taking a bogey at eight, then missed a three-foot bogey putt at the ninth. But he fought back with a birdie at the 12th and rescued a par at the par-5 13th when he pulled his tee shot left into trees.
Woods sank a 20-foot birdie putt at 14 and birdied the par-3 15th to reach level par but could not manage another birdie from there.
At the 18th, Woods found the right rough and went into the crowd left with his second shot, but dropped his third shot four feet from the cup and made the par putt.

FanDuel MLB Plays for Friday, June 13th
Happy Friday everyone! Friday is my favorite day in MLB DFS on FanDuel. There are no early games, so each of the major contests will have every game in play. Today's major contests are the usual suspects: $100K Fri MLB Monster, $40K Fri MLB Strikeout, and the $535 DFBC Qualifier, for your chance to go to Las Vegas!
Lately, there have been some weather issues throughout the MLB, which has probably caused you to avoid some games. Today is no different; I would keep an eye on CHC @ Phi, Tor @ Bal, and LAA @ Atl, specifically. There are other games that have a lower percentage chance of rain, and of course these games could change within the next 16 hours or so.
Let's get to the picks of the day!
*** "Next up" feature: A player will be put into parenthesis, who will serve as a replacement player, if the player chosen is not in their lineup or is part of a rainout. The replacement player will be chosen from the same pricing tier as the recommended player, making for an easy swap. They may also be considered as my 2nd favorite player (or 1A) from their respective position and pricing tier. You can find that player at the end of the blurb and they will be labeled as "next up".
Felix Hernandez ($11,200): King Felix is coming off of one of the best games by a pitcher this season. He went just 7 innings, but it's because his pitch count was high by striking out 15 batters. That's a nice number, and unfortunately he missed out on the Win, or he would have been able to add to his 22 FDP performance. He's really settled in after a few shaky starts near the end of April/early May. In his last 5 starts, he has given us at least 15 FDP in all of them, and has gone at least 7 innings. In his last 4 starts, he has struck out at least 8 batters, in each. Right now he is matchup proof, and a home start against the Rangers should not be avoided. The Rangers are not scoring a ton of runs right now, and Adrian Beltre is really the only hitter that is hitting well right now. So, he'll probably pitch around him, which will help him put up his second 20+ FDP game in a row. His salary is very high, but with Kershaw being the only other pitcher today with similar upside, I would go for the King and find some nice value plays on offense.
(Next up, Clayton Kershaw $10,400)
Andrew Cashner ($8,100): Cashner is the one Padres pitcher that I am not afraid to use on the road. Citi Field is basically the Petco of the East coast anyway. His first start since his return from the DL was a strong one, going 6 IP, while striking out 5, and lowering his ERA to 2.13. He only scored 11 FDP, but now that he has proven that he's healthy, he should be able to go deeper into this game. The Mets hitters should add to his 'K' totals today, and he has the potential for 7-8 IP and 8+ K's, which would easily exceed value for his $8,100 salary. I like him as one of the safer options of the day; especially in his pricing tier.
(Next up, Alex Cobb $7,500)
Justin Masterson ($6,900): Masterson has had an awful season, with the exception of about three starts. His best start was against this same Red Sox team (2 starts ago), where he went 7 innings, while striking out 10 batters (season high), and scoring 21 FDP. He's a better pitcher than he's shown this year, and he has the ability to string together some good starts for a while. The Red Sox have really struggled lately, but were finally able to get a Win last night. The Sox really only had two big hits to make up their offense last night; an Ortiz two-run homer, and a Brock Holt wall-ball two-run double. If he can avoid some mistakes then he should be able to have another good start against them. I don't think he can reach 21 FDP again, but the potential is there for around 13-17 points. He makes a nice value play, but one that I would only consider in GPP's. He's just too risky right now for cash games, and I would wait for another 2-3 good starts before considering him for them.
(Next up, Nathan Eovaldi $6,800)
Victor Martinez ($3,800): I was torn between V-Mart and Lucroy for the top spot today, but I am going with Martinez because of the $500 in cap savings and I like his matchup better. Kyle Gibson has been just OK this season, but I think he is overdue for an implosion, and Martinez is putting up points almost every night. He's homered 3 times in his last 6 games, to bring his season total to 16, which is remarkable. My one concern is that outside of Miggy, the Tigers are not hitting well right now, so Martinez may not have too many RBI opportunities. At the end of the day though, you will have a hard time finding a better catcher for your FanDuel lineup.
(Next up, Jonathan Lucroy $4,300)
Buster Posey ($3,200): Posey went 0-5 yesterday, which ended a nice 9-game hitting streak. He's yet to go on a tear that we have become accustomed to seeing. I think the 9-game streak was a nice sign and I wouldn't get overly worried about one 0-fer game. I really like the L/R matchup with De La Rosa and I would target Posey and stack him along side some other Giants righties (think Morse, Sandoval, Pence).
(Next up, Devin Mesoraco $3,000)
A.J. Pierzynski ($2,700): If you are not buying into Masterson, which is understandable, then you are targeting lefties against him, as he has an ERA that's about two runs higher against lefties, over the last three seasons. I've mentioned before that I really like to target catchers the day after an off day, and A.J. was off yesterday. He's a very streaky hitter and has hit safely in his last 3 games, so if Masterson is off of his game, then A.J. should be one of the biggest beneficiaries.
(Next up, Dioner Navarro $2,700)
Jose Abreu ($4,600): Abreu will probably be one of the most targeted players of the day, and I don't recommend fading him and hoping for a flop. Jeremy Guthrie is on the hill for the Royals and Abreu is already one of the best power hitters in the game. This one could get out of hand in a hurry and I can see Abreu hitting homer number 20. He has homered 4 times in his last 9 games, and twice in his last 3 games. The guy is a beast.
(Next up, Brandon Moss $4,400)
Joey Votto ($3,500): Votto has hit in all three of his games since returning from the DL. He's gone 4-11 with two doubles in that span. His power seems to moderate at best these days, with only 6 homers on the year. However, he's an OBP machine and will consistently put up FDP. Miller Park is a great place for hitters and this game could very well be high scoring. Both pitchers (Bailey, Garza) tend to either throw gems or get crushed, so I can see this game going either way. Bailey seems to be trending in the right direction, so I think the Reds are more likely to score runs and win this game. That makes Votto a very nice play for a reasonable salary, and I think he'll add another game to his hitting streak.
(Next up, David Ortiz $3,500)
Albert Pujols ($3,000): Pujols' power numbers have really cooled off since coming out of the gates firing. Recently he's still been hitting tough, as he has hit safely in 7 out of his last 9 games, with one home run. Aaron Harang is having an incredible season and it's starting to look like he could keep it up all year. He's had one implosion this year and I expect there to be a few more before season's end. Pujols has seen him a ton throughout his career and has had a ton of success, going 27-79 (.342) with 5 homers, 6 doubles, and only 7 K's.
(Next up, Billy Butler $2,500)
Brian Dozier ($4,000): Dozier is turning into the best offensive 2nd baseman in all of baseball. He's basically vintage Robinson Cano, with more steals and less average. On the year he has 14 homers and 14 steals, which is on pace for right around a 40/40 season. I would bet my house that he doesn't reach those numbers, but the fact that he's even on that pace and it's mid-June, is remarkable. He has a nice L/R matchup with a struggling Drew Smyly and he's easily the top choice at 2B today.
(Next up, Robinson Cano $3,800 — 3HR on the year hehe)
Ian Kinsler ($3,200): Kinsler's price tag has taken a nosedive over the last week. He was near the top of all the 2B, just a few days ago, but a 1-18 slump has dropped him to a very affordable price. I think the Tigers will be able to get their offense going today, and Kinsler is in a great position to produce out of the 2-hole. Before his 1-18 slump, he was 5-18 with 2 homers, and I'm not expecting a prolonged slump out of him.
(Next up, Anthony Rendon $3,200)
Scooter Gennett ($2,800): Scooter has been moved back into the leadoff spot against RHP, at least for now. That could change any day, as this lineup has been a fluid situation all season. If he's hitting leadoff, then his value for today is excellent. Like I mentioned earlier, Bailey is starting to pitch better lately, but he's gotten hit around plenty this year. Scooter has hit safely in 8 out of his last 10 games, and has 4 multi-hit games in that span. He went on a nice hot steak earlier in the year, and it looks like he's in the midst of another one.
(Next up, Ben Zobrist $2,900)
Adrian Beltre ($4,300): Beltre is absolutely on fire right now. He's hit safely in 8 out of his last 9 games, and all 8 of those games have been of the multi-hit fashion. That's truly incredible and I see no reason to fade him right now, not even against King Felix. Beltre has had good success against Hernandez in his career, going 10-31 (.323), but with just 1 homer. He'll probably make a nice contrarian play today, as most owners will stay away with the tough matchup. So, if you roster him and he has a good game, you will have a nice advantage. I can see giving him some run on one of your teams, if you are entering multiple lineups.
(Next up, Lonnie Chisenhall $4,300)
Brett Lawrie ($3,000): The Jays offense has suddenly disappeared, so a matchup with Ubaldo Jimenez couldn't come at a better time. Ubaldo has had a few nice games this season, but we all know how capable he is of getting hammered on any given night. I think the Jays bats will wake up today and Lawrie will be one of my favorite targets. He's a nice cheap option from this explosive team, and Ubaldo's splits actually favor him against left-handers. Lawrie has had some success against him in his career, going 3-7 with a homer.
(Next up, Casey McGehee $3,100)
Chris Johnson ($2,600): The punt options at 3B leave a lot to be desired. Johnson looks to be one of the better choices. The matchup against C.J. Wilson won't be easy, but Johnson's forte has been hitting against lefties. He's hitting well of late, albeit he just finished a series in Coors Field. Nevertheless, he's hit safely in 7 out of his last 9 games, with 4 multi-hit games in that span. We all know he's capable of hitting for a high average, so another multi-hit game is within reach and a homer would be a very nice bonus.
(Next up, Mike Moustakas $2,500)
Jose Reyes ($4,000): Reyes is one of the hottest SS in baseball right now, even with the Jays latest struggles. He currently has a 13-game hitting streak, and if were not for one 0-fer game, he would have a 25-game hitting streak right now. So, to do the math for you, he's hit safely in 24 out of his last 25 games and has 9 stolen bases in that span. The steals are very telling for him; he's a guy that is tremendously injury prone and the fact that he's running just proves that he's healthy. I love him as the table setter for the big bats, against Ubaldo today.
(Next up, Troy Tulowitzki $4,900)
Josh Rutledge ($3,300): Walt Weiss has been moving the lineup around to make room for Rutledge recently, and all he's done is hit. He has a 5-game hitting streak and has gone 9-17, with a triple, and 10 total RBI/Runs scored during his streak. Maybe he will finally live up to the hype that was once placed on him. I would at least ride out his hot streak and today he has an above average matchup against Tim Lincecum.
(Next up, Alexei Ramirez $3,300)
Alcides Escobar" src="https://www.fanduel.com/insider/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/alcides-escobar-229×300.jpg" width="229″ height="300″ />
Alcides Escobar ($3,000): Escobar is riding a 10-game hitting streak, with 2 steals in his last 7 games. He is now up to 17 SB on the year, and should be able to come close to a 40-steal season. He's the hottest hitter on the Royals at the moment, and his steal potential makes him an elite option. He has a favorable L/R matchup against Jose Quintana today, and even though it will be harder to run against the lefty, I'm sure he will try if he gets an opportunity.
(Next up, Starlin Castro $2,800)
Andrew McCutchen ($5,000): If not for 'Cutch, I would probably be targeting Eovaldi on every team today. He's legitimately hitting out of his mind right now. This is one of the hotter streaks that we have seen all year, and it rivals what Encarnacion, Cruz, and Springer did in May. He has an 8-game hitting streak right now, and in 6 of those games he had multiple hits. He's had two hits in each of his last five games. During his 8-game streak, he has 5 homers, 6 doubles, a steal, and an incredible 20 total RBI/Runs scored. Do not fade him right now.
(Next up, Carlos Gomez $4,700)
Giancarlo Stanton ($4,600): I would be very surprised if Locke has another quality start tonight. The Marlins have been crushing the ball at home this season, and Stanton has been especially good. He's on a bit of a homer drought, with only 1 in his last 10 games. But, he has hit safely in 6 out of his last 10 games, and he's always a candidate for a multi-homer game, especially in a very good L/R matchup. Look for him to be at 20 homers (17 now) by the end of the week.
(Next up, Jose Bautista $4,400)
Dexter Fowler ($3,400): On paper, this looks like a tough matchup for Fowler. Cobb is a very good pitcher, but he's coming off of his worst start of the season, so there's potential for another poor start today. Fowler is on a very good streak right now; he has hit safely in 9 out of his last 10 games, and has 7 multi-hit games during that span. In those last 10 games he's 18-for-38 (.474), with 3 doubles, a triple, a homer, and 12 total RBI/Runs scored. He's really coming into his own and has solidified himself as the leadoff hitter in an all of a sudden potent Astros lineup.
(Next up, Melky Cabrera $3,200)
Logan Morrison ($2,300): Morrison went 2-for-4 with a double and a homer last night, in just his second game in almost 2 months. His power is real and it will be interesting to see if he can string together a few good games in a row, while his salary is near minimum. Nick Tepesch is not a scary matchup, and the Mariners could finally break out of their hitting slump. I would give Morrison some run if you are looking for an outfield punt option.
(Next up, Daniel Nava $2,200)
