why? It's obvious. He's proven this time after time: comedy dies once he's in the ring. Besides, if the company pushed him to be serious then, here's the shocker, it would happen. He'd be serious all the time. It would be smart to keep the YES/NO thing going though. That's what helped establish him as a very over talent.
Comedy dies once he's in the ring? Are you joking? Have you ever watched a Bryan match? His multiple kicks screaming YES and NO...what do you call that? COMEDY. Arguing with fans during matches? COMEDY.
And you are missing a very key part of this whole puzzle. Guys like Mick Foley and Kane-when they started down the path to becoming more comedy oriented characters, both already had solid careers under their belts that established them as serious performers. People always remember Kane in the Inferno match or lightning Taker's casket on fire, or Foley's crazy bumps at the HIAC, for example. Same goes for Austin, Rock, anybody. Bryan absolutely does NOT have the background that these guys have. His first big break was as a joke character, so that has set the pace for his career. Its basically going to be impossible for him to outgrow the little niche he's carved out for himself. Just because you book someone to be serious doesn't mean that they're going to say "hey, we should take this guy seriously now." Or have you just not paid attention to anything Alberto Del Rio has been doing this year?
The ONLY wrestler who I've seen get over after dabbling in comedy initially is Kurt Angle, and that's because he was portrayed as a serious performer who happened to be somewhat of a dork outside the ring. It was more of a character trait. Kurt would do a bunch of serious stuff and then do a couple comedy segments, for example. He'd win the IC title from Jericho, cut a serious promo about how he's the Eurocontinental champion and how much that meant, and then you'd see him give Michael Cole a hug or something weird. Serious character with some comedic qualities. Not this ugly little goblin who exists to make goat jokes and chant two stupid, inane words over and over again-that is literally Bryan's whole character. There's nothing non-comedic about him. He's 100% a joke with no depth or character progression. THAT is why people won't take him seriously as a top guy.
Look at Santino-he was massively over as well. He's 100% a comedy character like Bryan. Why aren't people pushing for him to have a title reign? Simple-the Bryan blowhards and blind marks refuse to see anything their messiah does in a bad light, so they blindly swallow this garbage and expect its going to result in him being the next mega star. Meanwhile they expect the other comedy characters to just accept their place on the roster-nice double standard.
It WILL NOT happen. He's over now, bully for him. However, you think that people are going to take him the least bit seriously if he wins the title? They'll be too busy chanting at him and trying to argue with him-great when you're trying to cut that big scathing promo. Its like Taker and Trips getting WHAT chants earlier this year. Casuals are from now on always going to view him as the YES/NO guy, and that's the kiss of death for his career.

I don't use dock apps, just KDE panel with task manager. I want to know if it is possible to change the browser task icon to match the site favicon instead of the browser icon?
I use Firefox 4, KDE 4.4 and Ubuntu 10.04
What you are trying to do may be possible to do with a firefox extension (try mozilla addons), but I don't believe this is possible without some complex changes to firefox or a very complex script, as the favicons are saved in your cache and it would be some what difficult to get firefox to dynamically change its icon constantly as you browse.
Maybe you could use prism if there is some specific website that you want to see in the taskbar with an icon.

Where to check for school closures
It has been snowing steadily all day and if this keeps up, local school districts might start shutting their doors. You will be able to find any school closures or delays announced tonight or in the morning here. I'm sure lots of students will be crossing their fingers and hoping for a snow day.

closed as unclear what you're asking by Lawrence, NVZ, curiousdannii, tchrist, Nathaniel Mar 20 at 12:46
Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. See the How to Ask page for help clarifying this question.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Assuming the context here was rolling a cigarette or a joint, the response "You never rolled?" is as explained - the responder expresses surprise that the addressee has never rolled (a joint,say). Though it would be less ambiguous if phrased thus - "You've never rolled?" (Of course the 'Have you never..' form is most formal)
If you presented the question with no context, "You never rolled?" could equally mean something along the lines of "We used to roll down the hillock in our childhood. What? You never rolled?" Here the usage of roll is that the person is the thing that is rolling, as opposed doing the rolling (to a cigarette, say)
Is just an informal way of turning a statement into a question in order to reassure oneself about the statement in question.
Therefore, this is how the question may arise:

The 'hearing' starts — not very reassuring about NRC oversight
NRC Chair Klein: Streamlined licensing [in the 2005 Energy Policy bill, I think] is not happening yet because all the new nuke proposals (but one) use designs that are not certified.
[Jargon alert: COL stands for combined Construction and Operating License (COL). "The COL process is a 'one-step' licensing process by which nuclear plant public health and safety concerns are resolved prior to commencement of construction, and NRC approves and issues a license to build and operate a new nuclear power plant."]
NRC's Lyons: New reactor designs may be better, but requires more NRC funds for analysis/oversight.
NRC's Svinicki: [pronounced "Savenicki"]. She's new. She's working harder than when she was a Senate staffer.
First Round of Questions
Voinovich — 3.5 years for new design review is a lot. What is impact of continuing resolution (CR)?
Lyons — Challenging if CR goes beyond February. Will slow new design review. France has a more standard process. We have more vendors.
NRC's Jaczko: Will have trouble beating 3.5 years. AP1000 has outstanding issues. As do other designs. GE came in with a modification of their design. CR might stop all review of new designs.
Lautenberg: 2007 IG said NRC doesn't keep records of audits/review applications. Is that right?
NRC's Jaczko: Maybe. Auditors don't keep their notes (!!).
Klein: IG says it found no weakness in technical review [Lautenberg: weakness is in the "audit trail."]
Now I'm really interested in hearing what Hubert Bell, NRC' inspector general, has to say on my panel. Wonder if anyone but Carper will stay to question him?
Lautenberg: Oyster Creek relicensing — NRC didn't use the best (3D) technology for analysis until an outside group raised the issue.
Klein: Oyster Creek is under NRC review. I can't discuss it.
Man, it's already 11:20. I'm gonna be here a while! Probably won't be speaking until noonish.
Inhofe: We're getting bogged down in details.
Safety is apparently a "detail" for Inhofe.
Lautenberg leaves. Sen. Cardin is here.
Sen. Sanders: Fine for Entergy for this mishap [shows picture of water tower bursting]?
Jaczko: No.
Sanders: Public would be surprised. Yucca ain't never gonna happen. Why talk about dozens of new plants until we have storage problem solved.
Lyons: Dry cask storage — NRC has highest confidence. Is that appropriate national policy? Not for NRC to decide.
Sanders: Staff tells me new nukes could cost $20 billion is a hell of a lot of money. Is that right?
NRC: We don't do economics. Simply not our business…. $20 billion may be right for twin units.
Sanders leaves. Alas.
Craig: Nukes producing hydrogen. Process heat.
Ain't gonna happen, Larry. Hydrogen is a dead end and no factory wants to be located near enough to a nuke for cogeneration to work.
Almost noon — only two Senators left, Carper and Voinovich.
4 Responses to The 'hearing' starts — not very reassuring about NRC oversight
Off-topic, but Big Oil gets its subsidies as well:
Food for thought — from an article in The Guardian, August, 2003, describing the problems France encountered generating nuclear power during the infamous European heatwave:
"Demand for electricity has soared as the population turns up air conditioning and fridges, but nuclear power stations, which generate around 75% of France's electricity, have been operating at a much reduced capacity and several reactors have stopped working entirely.
In some regions, river water levels have dropped so low that the vital cooling process has become impossible, while elsewhere the water temperatures after the cooling process have exceeded environmental safety levels.
An exceptional exemption from the legal requirements was granted to six nuclear reactors and a number of conventional power stations, allowing them to discharge water one degree hotter than normal.
In another attempt to conserve energy for the nation, France, which is Europe's main electricity exporter, cut its power exports by more than half yesterday.
The environment minister, Roselyne Bachelot, said "sizeable blackouts" were still possible and called on consumers to cut back consumption. Air conditioning at her ministry was switched off as an example."

One error retracted, 99 to go. Superfreaknomics authors will, in future editions, correct their claim that Caldeira believes "carbon dioxide is not the right villain"
The outrage over — and debunkings of — the error-riddled book Superfreakonomics continue, even as coauthors Levitt and Dubner slowly concede their mistakes.
Perhaps the most scathing takedown to date comes from Raymond T. Pierrehumbert, the Louis Block Professor in the Geophysical Sciences at the University of Chicago, on RealClimate, in an "An open letter to Steve Levitt." Pierrehumbert accuses his U of C colleague of "academic malpractice in your book."
So far, Dubner has apologized to me for one false accusation in his Sunday, October 18 post attacking my accurate debunking of his book (see here). Now he has finally conceded on his blog that one of the many key errors I pointed out in his book — that climatologist Ken Caldeira did not believe or ever say that "carbon dioxide is not the right villain in this fight" (see here). He still has not retracted the countless other mistakes I and others have pointed out. Indeed, Berkeley economist Brad DeLong urged both authors to "abjectly apologize" for the whole chapter.
And Dubner has not retracted the claim that is still being parroted by the deniers and delayers around the web that I did a "smear" on the book. It is clear for all to see now that there never was a smear. Everything I wrote in my original debunking was accurate — see Error-riddled 'Superfreakonomics': New book pushes global cooling myths, sheer illogic, and patent nonsense "" and the primary climatologist it relies on, Ken Caldeira, says "it is an inaccurate portrayal of me" and "misleading" in "many" places.
I challenge Dubner and Levitt to identify any errors in my critique. Yes, I used strong language in a private e-mail to Caldeira, though nothing near as strong as what Pierrehumbert has written in his public letter to Levitt. But I challenge either coauthor to identify what charges in that post are false and constitute a smear.
Ironically, by failing to retract the errors I pointed out in my post weeks ago, Levitt has brought upon himself the detailed and devastating takedown by his fellow U of C Professor, which focuses on the same exact errors I debunked. Pierrehumbert concludes:
The point here is that really simple arithmetic, which you could not be bothered to do, would have been enough to tell you that the claim that the blackness of solar cells makes solar energy pointless is complete and utter nonsense. I don't think you would have accepted such laziness and sloppiness in a term paper from one of your students, so why do you accept it from yourself? What does the failure to do such basic thinking with numbers say about the extent to which anything you write can be trusted? How do you think it reflects on the profession of economics when a member of that profession "" somebody who that profession seems to esteem highly "" publicly and noisily shows that he cannot be bothered to do simple arithmetic and elementary background reading? Not even for a subject of such paramount importance as global warming.
And it's not as if the "black solar cell" gaffe was the only bit of academic malpractice in your book: among other things, the presentation of aerosol geoengineering as a harmless and cheap quick fix for global warming ignored a great deal of accessible and readily available material on the severe risks involved, as Gavin noted in his recent post. The fault here is not that you dared to advocate geoengineering as a solution. There is a broad spectrum of opinion among scientists about the amount of aerosol geoengineering research that is justified, but very few scientists think of it as anything but a desperate last-ditch attempt, or at best a strategy to be used in extreme moderation as part of a basket of strategies dominated by emissions reductions. You owed it to your readers to present a fair picture of the consequences of geoengineering, but chose not to do so.
I hope this forever puts to rest the notion that my post's far less sweeping language was somehow too harsh. Pierrehumbert accuses Levitt of multiple instances of "academic malpractice," questioning whether anything Levitt writes can now be trusted.
Anyone who knows climate science or anything about solar energy would have been as outraged as I was in reading the chapter. Anyone who knows Caldeira's work, anyone who had read his September comments in the Washington Post — "Geoengineering is not an alternative to carbon emissions reductions," he said. "If emissions keep going up and up, and you use geoengineering as a way to deal with it, it's pretty clear the endgame of that process is pretty ugly." — or anyone who had interviewed him recently on that very subject would have been as outraged as I was by how the Superfreaks misrepresented his work. And they still to this day don't get that. As award-winning journalist Eric Pooley wrote in his Bloomberg story, "Freakonomics Guys Flunk Science of Climate Change":
Caldeira, who is researching the idea [of aerosol geoengineering], argues that it can succeed only if we first reduce emissions. Otherwise, he says, geoengineering can't begin to cope with the collateral damage, such as acidic oceans killing off shellfish.
Levitt and Dubner ignore his view and champion his work as a permanent substitute for emissions cuts. When I told Dubner that Caldeira doesn't believe geoengineering can work without cutting emissions, he was baffled. "I don't understand how that could be," he said. In other words, the Freakonomics guys just flunked climate science.
So every single aspect of my initial critique has been thoroughly vindicated by subsequent analysis and reporting, including what I wrote about the infamous "villain" line:
One sentence about Caldeira in particular is the exact opposite of what he believes (page 184):
Yet his research tells him that carbon dioxide is not the right villain in this fight.
Levitt and Dubner didn't run this quote by Caldeira, and when he saw a version from Myrhvold, he objected to it. But Levitt and Dubner apparently wanted to keep it very badly "" it even makes the SuperFreakonomics Table of Contents in the Chapter Five summary "Is carbon dioxide the wrong villain?" It fits their contrarian sensibility, but it makes no actual sense.
As award-winning journalist Eric Pooley wrote in his Bloomberg story, "Freakonomics Guys Flunk Science of Climate Change":
Caldeira, like the vast majority of climate scientists, believes cutting carbon dioxide and other greenhouse-gas emissions is our only real chance to avoid runaway climate change.
"Carbon dioxide is the right villain," Caldeira wrote on his Web site in reply. He told Joe Romm, the respected climate blogger who broke the story, that he had objected to the "wrong villain" line but Dubner and Levitt didn't correct it; instead, they added the "incredibly foolish" quote, a half step in the right direction. Caldeira gave the same account to me.
Levitt and Dubner do say that the book "overstates" Caldeira's position. That's a weasel word: The book claims the opposite of what Caldeira believes. Caldeira told me the book contains "many errors" in addition to the "major error" of misstating his scientific opinion on carbon dioxide's role"¦.
So finally, finally, Dubner writes a post acknowledging this error alone and promising to change it in future editions. He writes:
Here's Caldeira's full reply:
A: Reality is just slightly more complex.
I did receive a version in MSWord. I did not read it all but just searched for my name. (I feel no need to fact check things that come in over the transom.)
I highlit the offending sentence and wrote the following comment:
And yet his research tells him that carbon dioxide is not the right villain in this fight.[KC1]
[KC1]My views differ significantly from Lowell's and Nathan's. I do think we are being incredibly foolish emitting CO2 and that avoiding all of this environmental risk is a good way to invest a few percent of our GDP. My pessimism stems from the apparent difficulties of solving the "prisoner's dilemma"- and "tragedy of the commons"-type aspects of this problem.
I expected, based on this comment, that the highlit sentence would be removed but did not explicitly request them to remove it. Instead, Levitt and Dubner added a line about "foolish" preceding the line that I was concerned about. So now the text reads:
He believes "we are being incredibly foolish emitting carbon dioxide" as we currently do. Yet his research tells him that carbon dioxide is not the right villain in this fight.
Did I object to the line? Arguably, yes. Was I clear and explicit about not wanting the line in there? No. Was there room for people acting in good faith to differ regarding what my highlighting meant? Yes.
All of the other statements attributed to me are based on fact, although there are differences in detail, nuance, etc.
As I have tried to say several times now: my views, beliefs, policy prescriptions, etc., differ from those of Myhrvold, Wood, Levitt, Dubner, etc., however, I do not question their good intentions.
I can and do frame my own beliefs differently and set them in a different context.
Since Dubner publishes this without disputing it, I assume he agrees with it.
But this response is 100% consistent with what I wrote — and what Pooley wrote based on his interview of Dubner and Caldeira. The only "just slight" difference, to use Caldeira's phrase, is whether this was "good faith." That is a matter of opinion. Caldeira is certainly entitled to his view. Note, by the way, that Caldeira coyly says, "I did receive a version in MSWord." Yes, but as Caldeira told me, he received it from Myhrvold, not the authors themselves, which is not standard practice for any book I've been involved with or any interview I've ever given, not from an author who was supposedly trying to get this important story right.
Pooley clearly doesn't see this as "good faith." And all I wrote was:
Levitt and Dubner didn't run this quote by Caldeira, and when he saw a version from Myrhvold, he objected to it. But Levitt and Dubner apparently wanted to keep it very badly "" it even makes the SuperFreakonomics Table of Contents in the Chapter Five summary "Is carbon dioxide the wrong villain?" It fits their contrarian sensibility, but it makes no actual sense.
The first sentence is what happened. The first half of the second sentence is my theory, which no one has ever refuted and many have agreed with after reviewing the facts, including Pooley. Same for the final sentence. No smear there.
Now Dubner tries mightily in this latest retraction to leave people with the impression that Caldeira doesn't find any other errors in the book or that he doesn't think the the book misrepresented his work. But in fact, as Pooley's reporting shows, Caldeira did say, just as I reported, the book contained "many errors."
If you go to Caldeira's website (click here), he doesn't send people to the interview above, but rather writes:
For comments on SuperFreakonomics, please see an interview at Yale Environment 360 (21 Oct 2009)
For Caldeira, the Yale interview (which I wrote about here) is his comment for the public on the book (regular readers can skip this part, but I repeat this part for the record):
Yale Environment 360: I want to start with this little dust-up over SuperFreakonomics. In the book, you are quoted as saying, when it comes to global warming, "Carbon dioxide is not the right villain." Is that accurate?
Ken Caldeira: That is not accurate. I don't believe I said anything remotely like that because I believe that we should be outlawing the production of devices that emit carbon dioxide, and I don't think we can solve this carbon climate problem unless we drastically reduce our carbon dioxide emissions very soon.
e360: They also write that you are convinced that human activity is responsible for "some" global warming. What does that mean?
Caldeira: I don't think we can say with certainty whether we're responsible for 90 percent of it or we might be responsible for 110 percent of it. But the vast majority of global warming, I believe, is due to human release of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.
e360: Another thing that plays in to the same kind of sensibility is the idea [which the book quotes Caldeira saying] that the "doubling of CO2 traps less than 2 percent of the outgoing radiation emitted by the Earth." When that's phrased like that, it makes it sound like it's not really much of a problem.
Caldeira: You should think of the whole global warming problem as a 1 percent problem, at least for doubling of CO2. In absolute temperature Kelvin "" scientists like to use the Kelvin scale "" the current Earth temperature is around 288 degrees Kelvin, and a 3-degree warming on top of that is basically a one-percent additional warming. And so this whole issue of climate change, when viewed from an Earth-system perspective, is a story about 1 percents and 2 percents. Two percent might sound like a small number, but that's the difference between a much hotter world, and the kind of world we're accustomed to"¦.
e360: Overall, do you feel like your work has been accurately and fairly represented in this book?
Caldeira: The main misrepresentation is the quote that says that CO2 is not "the right villain." Now, again, I don't use "villain" talk myself, but if you say what's the primary gas responsible for the planetary warming, I would say it's carbon dioxide.
Now, there's a tougher question when it comes to the other statements that are attributed to me. All of those other statements are based in fact and based on studies that either I have published or other scientists have published. And if we pull back to the case of the biosphere taking up 70 percent of CO2 "" well, yes, we have a published study that said that. It also presented results saying that we might warm up the planet enough to risk melting Antarctica ultimately. And so there is a selective use of quotes.
If you spend several hours talking to somebody and they take a half-dozen things and put it in a book, then it's going to be in the context and framing of arguments that the authors are trying to make. And so the actual statements attributed to me are based on fact, but the contexts and the framing of those issues are very different from the context and framing that I would put those same facts in"¦
So I think that the casual reader can "¦ come up with a misimpression of what I believe and what I feel about things.
Which is what I wrote. Indeed, I knew this based on my previous interviews with him, which is why I asked him to make this point, which he did, writing:
So, yes, my representation in the Superfreakonomics book is damaging to me because it is an inaccurate portrayal of me. The problem is the inaccurate portrayal, not my actions or statements.
And then after he emailed me that quote, I took the extra step of explicitly asking him if I could use it, and he said yes because it is what he believes.
So, I made no false statements or smears in my original post or the headline, although I probably should have put that quote in the first post, instead of merely excerpting in the headline. Dubner's original post falsely claims that Caldeira didn't actually say what I wrote in the headline. But he did. And, of course, he told the same thing to Pooley and Goodell.
As an ironic aside, a sharp-eyed reader pointed out to me (and sent this screen shot) that in the first version of the retraction Dubner published online this Wednesday, he actually introduced Caldeira's quote this way:
And Dubner mistakenly linked to the Yale e360 interview! So Dubner knows what was in the Yale interview — much as he knows what Pooley wrote, since Pooley talked to him at length — and thus knows that again it completely vindicates what I wrote.
Dubner still has not corrected his original, false claim that I smeared him, which he wrote on October 18 (emphasis added):
But more broadly, he made it sound as if we had distorted Ken Caldeira's views in the worst way: "He [Caldeira] has responded to many e-mail queries of mine over the weekend," Romm wrote. "He simply doesn't believe what the Superfreaks make it seem like he believes."
This was the blog post that launched a thousand more. The headlines varied a bit but the general thrust, perhaps inspired by Romm's exciting headline, was always the same: two guys who aren't climate scientists wrote a book with a chapter about climate science and one of the main climate scientists in this chapter is saying they badly misrepresented his views.
Yikes. If that were true, I would come after us with pitchforks too.
It is true.
And guess what, even your University of Chicago colleague came after you with the academic version of pitchforks, even noting "the way Superfreakonomics mangled Ken Caldeira's rather nuanced views on geoengineering." So have many others. Nobelist Krugman wrote, "in this crucial chapter, there's an average of one statement per page that's either flatly untrue or deeply misleading."
And Dubner's false charge against me launched a thousand more.
It is time for Levitt and Dubner to retract the smear charge and issue a bunch of other corrections in their book. It shouldn't be hard. They've already retracted one false charge , apologized to me, and agreed to one correction in the book.
21 Responses to One error retracted, 99 to go. Superfreaknomics authors will, in future editions, correct their claim that Caldeira believes "carbon dioxide is not the right villain"
Better yet, they should retract and rewrite the chapter.
Perhaps if people start referring to them as the Fleischmann and Pons of economics, Messrs Levitt and Dubner will rethink and withdraw the book from publication.
Otherwise, I like the F&P analogy.
Good analogy, but I'm not sure how many people will get it; and I'm even less sure that Levitt &/or Dubner would care.
oh my goodness this is convoluted… (not this post itself but the nature of the discussion). Reminds me I'm glad I'm not an author.
Re: climate change – someone everyone can unite together to disagree with: John Tantillo did a post on his branding blog defending Americans who, in increasing numbers, are rejecting the notion of global warming – http://blog.marketingdoctor.tv/2009/10/26/john-tantillos-brand-winner-and-loser-fox-news-and-the-global-warming-movement.aspx
He blames poor marketing. But also hints at the fact that he's not buying it either.
Physics doesn't give a fuck about marketing.
Sorry Joe, but you can delete or edit that last comment, but that Faux article made my blood boil.
I think the main reason American polls are showing that fewer people believe that the climate is warming is because we have had a couple of cold years here – I fight against this attitude every day. It must really drive you crazy to try to explain the difference between weather and climate to people who supposedly are leading us. It is NOT the power of the deniers argument – it's just what ignorant people see out the window.
The RealClimate open letter was beautifully done…showing how a devestating take-down doesn't need to be a street fight. I know it's not your style Joe (and I'm as big a fan of street fights as any) but there may be something to it.
This arrived in my mailbox this morning from Paul Gilding – so refreshing to see a focus on what needs to be done rather than the endless refutation of disingenuous denialist propaganda!
Here is an enjoyable little critique, of a Superfreak sighting in Seattle:
Levitt and Dubner now are pushing the ridiculous religion comparison… that scientists are trying to cultivate a cult religion among AGW believers.
And they continue to censor comments on their NY Times blog. One more post censored today:
One of the first key attributes of a religion is to stifle dissent. Science thrives on dissent, but it is up to the dissenter to PROVE his conclusions with data.
The authors of Freakonomics don't welcome dissent; they censor dissenting views from the blog here.
The authors of Freakonomics also don't feel they have to prove their conclusions. In the chapter on global warming, they made the conclusion that "CO2 is not the villain" when it comes to climate change. Their source "data" for this statement supposedly came from Dr. Caldeira. But when Dr. Caldeira disagreed with their conclusion, they now think that by simply dropping the attribution to Dr. Caldeira that they can justifiably still state that "CO2 is not the villain".
But they have no climate scientist as the source for this conclusion. And the vast majority of climate scientists disagree. So the authors feel that they are above having to prove any of their conclusion. Their readers must take their dictums on faith alone.
I know this is a climate blog, but you should also be aware that they got almost everything else demonstrably wrong too. The drunk-walking chapter has three huge fallacies. First, it is per-mile, not per hour. Obviously in 20 minutes a driver might cover 10x the distance of a walker. second,they ignored the potential for harm to others. Third, drunk-walkers are drunker to begin with — that's why they didn't drive!
also, the carseats. They took 30 years of research. Well, 30 years ago we were only a few years removed from the Maggie Simpson-type carseats, safety seats then being in their first generation. The current generation is far safer than seat belts, duh.
The whole thing is complete sloppiness that will ultimately cost them their reputation except among the far right.
I've only read a couple of your posts on Superfreakonomics, so forgive me if you've already addressed this, but is that an exploding watermelon on the cover of the book? Admittedly it's more orange than red in the middle and then there's the stem. But I say this because some call greens watermelons thinking (wrongly) that they're all green on the outside and red (communist) on the inside. Might that explain where they're coming from and what they're trying to do? If so, does that mean that the book was intentionally about smearing greens? (Exploding their ideas which they want to paint as myths).
Interesting, Col, I hadn't come across that analogy before. Here was my take on the watermelon: http://witsendnj.blogspot.com/2009/09/we-are-all-watermelon-now.html
and you should see what I think about rhubarb! http://witsendnj.blogspot.com/2009/08/you-cant-go-home-again.html
It's a pity that ideology appears to trump science. Fantasy vs. fact. I wonder if your analysis of the cover is valid. It's quite a tantalizing theory!
The day we named ourselves "Homo "Sapiens"", Hugh Briss was in town. Maybe if we each had a math coprocessor installed in our brains. This does not apply to RealClimate people or to ClimateProgress.
PaulK #11 ("One more post censored today [on NYT Freak blog]"), 4 things:
1) thanks for documenting this;
2) it's not clear from this (#11) comment's formatting, which part of it is a paste from your Freak comment;
3) for documentation's sake, it's good to provide a URL for the post you commented on;
4) also for doc's sake, pictures are worth 1000 words – which is why I made screenshots showing my Freak comment being disappeared, & then posted them at my climate blog, at warming101.blogspot.com/2009/11/evidence-of-questionable.html
and fyi, I've been trying – so far, w/o success – to get Dubner to confirm or deny that he said something rather sly, namely: "The problem today is that people think that the global efforts made towards cutting carbon emissions mean they can go about their lives as normal, it's almost an excuse for them to pollute."
Any suggestions as to how many times & formats one should try, to ask him, before concluding by default that he's standing by the quote?
(documented the effort here – http://freakonomics.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/11/04/ken-caldeiras-carbon-solution/#comment-515557 )
And last – does anyone know if Stephen Dubner is related to Jeffrey Dubner of Tapped, originator of the Dubner Oath; and if, well, we can ask Stephen if he'll take it…
George: "The whole thing is complete sloppiness that will ultimately cost them their reputation except among the far right."
And that outcome, if it happens, would constitute a resounding success for the superfreaks. Their goal is not to have a serious effect on public policy or private behavior, or even to have a "good" reputation in the traditional sense of that expression. It's to make as big a pile of money as possible–that's just plain economics. So if they become the Rush Limbaugh of economics and science writing–great! They'll be laughed at, openly ridiculed, and they'll also have all the book offers, interview requests, and speaking engagements they could want.
And the worst part of it is that we're all helping them achieve their goal. That includes CP, my own writing on my blog, and everyone else screaming until their lungs bleed about what these two have said.
I hate to sound so cynical, but after reading so many comments by and about the superfreaks I really have come to believe that there's no other explanation.
Lou Grinzo, you may be on to something. I hadn't been planning to buy Al Gore's new book but it was given to me yesterday, and it's really worthwhile reading.
It's time to start ignoring blithering idiotic deniers and controversy feeding profiteers, and start concentrating on near-term solutions that will buy us enough time to sort out long term methods, to avert the worst effects of runaway tipping point crossings.
Perhaps we should stop wasting intellectual energy arguing with deniers, and just move along without them.
Gail: I would love to move along without the tin-hats as well. Unfortunately we need their votes and, except for the Shrub Era, by in large a democracy.
Leif, in the interest of saving trees, I will gladly snailmail you my copy of Gore's new book as soon as I have finished reading it.
The science really is settled, as settled as science can be. The real question now is what to do about climate change – not whether it is occurring, or caused by humans.
Arguing with deniers about that is like arguing with fundamentalist Christians whether the earth was created 10,000 years ago, or billions. WASTE. OF. TIME.
Gail: Thank you for the offer but save the carbon footprint of shipping and give to a worthy cause locally. Perhaps a local library. I am sure I can get a copy locally although I am fully committed.
There is a branch of the "fundamentalist Christians that are proponents of "Creation Care." As an atheist it is still a stretch for me but in reality I care not what they call it as long as they take care of it. This branch was recently lead by Richard (cannot spell his last name but something like "Cizzex") My wife works with his sister here at the local hospital so I will be able to get his name if need be. He was recently dethroned by the higher ups. That segment still is out there however and is a fairly large portion, if I remember the numbers right. It is however very difficult for them to accept the likes of us. What with our liberal views on abortion, etc. We do need to work with them or at least encourage them to be more vocal.

Maybe It's So!
Once upon a time Morton Thompson wrote an engaging little story about a lad who had a way with horses—he talked with them, in fact. It was a delicate bit of whimsy. Then one day a great big motion picture company (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) came along and bought the story and hired Mr. Thompson to write a scenario therefrom entitled "My Brother Talks to Horses." Finally, the completed photo-play arrived at the Rialto Theatre, and the light touch and simple story line which made the original tale so captivating were nowhere to be found. For, whether by accident or design, the story which Mr. Thompson expanded for the screen appears to have been written by an author hopelessly caught in the quicksand of sentimentality.
However, there are a few charming sequences in which that incredibly lovable tyke "Butch" Jenkins looms large as the fabulous Lewie Penrose and this reviewer, for one, is willing to believe that he does talk to horses. Why not? Doesn't "Butch" get right inside your heart without saying a word? Anyway, it goes without laboring the point that Lewie's rare gift for understanding horses is played to a fare-thee-well on the screen, and so also are his mother's exotic inclinations. There is a suggestion of the Vanderhof and Sycamore families of "You Can't Take It With You" about the Penrose household. Mother goes in for Yoga-breathing exercises at mealtime and serves such delectable dishes as deer tongue and kelp soup. Every chicken has a name and responds to feed when called by Lewie or his mother. And the star boarder, a Mr. Puddy, is busy inventing an edible beer bottle!
What more could one want in the way of fantasy or whimsy? Well, one could suggest a story just as simple and human and charming as the one Mr. Thompson wrote originally. And then, such a story would need be put upon the screen by knowing and lovable directorial hands—directorial hands which would stoop to no cliches, either in staging or narrative, such as are evident throughout this picture. As for the players who support Master Jenkins, they are all quite competent. But in pictures such as "My Brother Talks to Horses" competence is not quite enough; there has to be that extra measure of talent, which, while not readily definable, brings the audience into close rapport with the characters.

I am quite interested in the 18th century and things around it. I am learning about it and trying to understand, who it worked, how people were thinking at that time.
At some times I am going to workshops to learn things like card games of that time. It's fascinating to see, what/how those things worked and compare it with todays ideas.

"If you're looking for a ride of electronic with a different twist, look no further. The Remembrance offers a unique blend of electronic, with metal guitars and drums along with rap beats. It's definitely a different trip to go on. The remembrance started on 10-5-06 and since then he has made 7 albums… and counting. If we start with his first album you can tell he was getting used to his vibe but if you progress through to one of the latest albums you can tell The Remembrance definitely polished and mastered his sound. Most of the songs are just instrumental with little voice overs at the beginning so you can focus on the sound, instead of the lyrics. "

I can't find anything in the PHB that actually says that Monks are proficient with unarmed strikes by default. Their Proficiencies list just says simple weapons and shortswords. Their Martial Arts ability says it gives them "mastery of combat styles that use unarmed strike..." but not actually proficiency. Am I missing something, or is it actually correct that Monks don't have their proficiency bonus with unarmed strike unless they get the proficiency from a feat or something?

Everyone is proficient with their own unarmed strikes.
In the errata for the Player's Handbook, the Unarmed Strike entry was removed from the weapon table. However, the rules on Unarmed Strikes in the combat section now say that every character is proficient with unarmed strikes:
Emphasis added.
Unarmed Strike is a Simple Weapon.
See the Simple Weapons table on (p45, Basic D&D. p17, Starter Set Rulebook)
All characters of all classes are proficient with unarmed strikes. "You are proficient with your unarmed strikes." This is stated on the last line of the Melee Attacks section on page 195 of the 5th edition Player's Handbook, second printing. For clarification, in the 5th edition it does not say this under simple weapons, nevertheless all characters are proficient with unarmed attacks.
In addition to being listed as a weapon in the starter guide, in the PHB, the monk description and level table explicitly mentions it as well as the base damage a monk does unarmed.

I love mountainside hospital but I'm hearing so many good things about morristown especially since you get your own private room. I'm planning on having a vbac and i just want to choose what hospital so i can choose a good doctor. I'm very picky about this because NJ have very high c-section rates. We want more than three children so if i cant push my next child out it will be very devastating. Any advice? Which hospital do you think is better to go to?
I would say Morristown! I haven't delivered there but I know my midwife worked with them and I've seen the birthing rooms and they are lovely! Birth balls, pools, privacy etc...
Both hospitals have really high cesarean rates but Morristown has a better VBAC rate (11.3 vs 5.8%). Morristown also has a much better VBAC success rate (referring to the percent of VBAC attempts that are successful). Only 42% of VBAC attempts are successful at Mountainside while about 71% of VBAC attempts are successful at Morristown.
That being said, you still can't factor out the impact of your care provider. I think Morristown has a lot more providers that will support VBAC than Mountainside does. In other words, you still need to make sure you are using a doctor or midwife who is truly supportive of VBAC.
I would suggest touring both hospitals and see which one seems to have better policies and tools to support natural birth (e.g. wireless monitoring, saline-locks vs running IVs, showers, tubs, birthing balls, allowing for movement out of bed while in labor, etc). Then interview doctors/midwives to see whose philosophy is most in line with yours.

you are so right. Im going with a doctor names judy Banks. She is a doctor that supports vbacs. The ICAN website gave me her name letting me know she supports vbacs. Wish me luck!
I had a VBAC in Morristown in March. They insist on monitoring you the whole time which is annoying, but they were supportive of the VBAC (my nurse had all 4 of hers naturally), but thank goodness my midwife was there to shut up my Doctor who was quite gloomy! Make sure your Dr/Midwife is very pro VBAC and I'm sure you'll do well.
Dr Banks is wonderful. She is definitely supportive of VBACs and would be my first choice at Morristown. The staff there likes her too which helps. ;)

Slip Rib Pattern
I'm currently working this row:
Establish Pat St: Row 1 (RS): K to first marker, work Row 1 of Sl St Rib Pat to last marker, k to end.
The Sl St pattern is as such:
SLIP RIB PATTERN (Multiple of 5 sts + 2)
Row 1 (RS): * P2, k1, sl 1, k1, rep from * across, end p2.
Row 2: Purl.
Rep these 2 rows for Sl Rib Pat
My problem is that the Sl St pattern works in mutilple of 5 sts +2 the current row between the marker that i should work on is only 44 sts. So now I have 4 sts left and don't know how to proceed.
Which size are you making? Did you do all the increases from the previous row? I think the minimum number of stitches between markers is 57 which is a multiple of 5+2.
I'm not sure where you are in the pattern but the first instructions I see for the slip st rib are for the back:
"P14(18-23-27-32-36), place marker, p44(46-44-46-44-46), increasing 13(11-13-11-13-11) sts as evenly spaced across as possible, place marker, p to end - 85(93-103-111-121-129) sts."
So if you have 44sts you would increase 13 to give you 57 which is a multiple of 5 +2. If you have 46sts you'll increase 11st to again give you 57sts which is a multiple of 5 + 2
You don't start the slip st pattern until after you've increased. Though it doesn't say if the increasing is across the entire row or only between the markers.
It looks like 14sts, marker, 44sts+13sts, marker, 14sts.
85sts total
You're right, they're not very clear about the second marker.
I misread and did not do the correct increases. Thanks for the help.

As promised, Audi trotted out its A3 sedan concept at the Geneva Motor Show, and it's a lovely bit of compact, Teutonic hotness. A ton of carbon fiber bits and pieces litter the shapely sheetmetal, all enclosing a very Germanic four-seat interior.
Naturally, we're just as interested in the five-cylinder engine that uses turbocharging and FSI to pump out 408 horsepower. Peak torque measures 368 pound feet, and all that power is available between 1,600 and 5,300 rpm. Audi claims its A3 concept can hit 62 mph in 4.1 seconds and is electronically governed to a top speed of 155 mph. Impressively fuel mileage is estimated at 25.85 U.S. miles per gallon.
A seven-speed dual clutch gearbox handles shifting duties, and naturally, is naturally sent to all four wheels via Quattro all-wheel-drive. We're rather intrigued by the 20-inch wheels that are molded from carbon fiber and aluminum, which should save weight in the most crucial area. Full details can be found in the press release after the break, and you can check out live images from the floor in our high-res gallery below.

Queenstown Lakes Mayor Vanessa van Uden and Cr Lex Perkins,
of Arrowtown, welcomed vice-consul-general Li Xin and consul
Hu Aimin, of the Consulate-General of the People's Republic
of China in Christchurch, at the council's headquarters
Mr Xin also met Senior Sergeant John Fookes, of Queenstown,
and Queenstown Airport Corp chief executive Scott Paterson as
part of his familiarisation with the resort this week.
Mr Xin told the Otago Daily Times after his meeting
yesterday he was aware the number of Chinese tourists
visiting New Zealand was ''increasing very rapidly'' and
''Queenstown is a must'' for the 60% to 70% who visit the
South Island.
The two parties were talking about how to make those visitors
feel more comfortable. While the percentage of Chinese
drivers involved in crashes was ''relatively low'', more
Chinese visitors meant more Chinese drivers and ''we know
it's a concern of local residents here'', he said.
''We have already put information on the consulate website to
let them know about the driving code.
''We want to put pamphlets about the driving code in every
car rental area, starting now.
''We have traffic lights at every intersection, but most here
do not, so that's a problem [for visiting Chinese drivers in
New Zealand],'' Mr Xin said. Chinese tourists were attracted
to New Zealand's natural beauty, as it was difficult to find
similar sights in their own country, as well as cuisine, wine
and ''local stories'', he said.
Mr Xin dispelled the belief sites, such as the historic
Chinese settlement in Arrowtown, were distressing for some
Chinese visitors because of the harsh life the Chinese
pioneers lived far from home.
The Arrowtown settlement was a major attraction for Chinese
tourists and needed to be preserved, he said.
A team of four Chinese scholars was researching Chinese
heritage sites around the South Island and Arrowtown was on
its itinerary, he said.
''History is history. The only thing to do is to tell people
what history is,'' he said.

Hi! I've found some problem using GD for resizing images: if the image is too big you can have error like:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 12582912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1600 bytes)
With ImageMagick the problem doesn't exist.
Is it possible to use ImageMagick instead of GD?
Or it's possible to write a plugin that replace the wp_create_thumbnail() with a new one (the ImageMagick one)?

I developed programs in C# .NET 4.0 using 3d-party libraries in .NET 4.0 and now I was asked to target a 3d-party program that has API only in .NET 1.1
I overlooked some previous discussions telling that it is impossible:
- MSDN .NET Framework Multi-Targeting Packs for Visual Studio 2010
- SO Can I still target .NET Framework 1.1 in VisualStudio 2010?
- etc.
This is weird that I cannot acsess previous .NET from a .NET (4.0).
The article:
"here is how to use the latest IDE to work with a .NET 1.1 applications."
Is it applicable to VS2010 (and VS2012)?
What are the possibilities to target API in .NET 1.1 from .NET 4.0 (VS2010) project?
Inter-process communication?
this is a program (terminal) providing access to Western trading stock exchange requiring login and cryptokeys for getting data over the internet and submitting orders (to buy, sell, etc.).
My program is algotrading bot in .NET 4.0 but the terminal is essentially to be also always used manually from Windows/GUI
I cannot get direct access to stock exchange or meddle with programs and libraries providing it :) or rather :(
I do not even find .NET 1.1 on my Windows XP SP3 machine.
Windows update doesn't seen to get it.
I also recall that the last time I installed .NET 1.1 on it I had to reinstall thereafter VS2005, VS2008, VS2010 with Service Packs and all dependencides....
That is, my feeling is that it is necessary to install .NET 1.1 before later versions?..

Choose Health Delaware
Financial Aid and Medicaid continued...
You also may be eligible for cost-sharing subsidies if your income is below $29,425 for an individual or $60,625 for a family of four. Cost-sharing subsidies will lower your out-of-pocket costs when you get medical care. Cost-sharing subsidies are available only if you buy a silver-level plan.
Medicaid Expansion : Some states expanded their Medicaid programs so more people can get health insurance coverage. Because Delaware is one of them, you may be eligible if your annual income is no more than about $16,243 for one person and about $33,465 for a family of four.
CHIP: The Children's Health Insurance Program, called the Delaware Healthy Children Program, provides coverage for children of some families who have a low income but are not eligible for Medicaid.
Check with HealthCare.gov or ASSIST Delaware to see if you are eligible for these programs.
Available Resources
In addition to ChooseHealthDe.com and Healthcare.gov., there are several ways you can get help with your insurance decisions:
- Call Center: You can call the federal government's help line, 800-318-2596, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for information, help, and to buy insurance.
- Navigators and Assisters: They can teach you about the Marketplace and guide you through your insurance decisions. Here are the organizations approved to operate Navigator programs.
- Local, State, and Federal Organizations: Many health and community organizations, public libraries, and hospitals are offering help. Find a list at LocalHelp.HealthCare.gov.
- Insurance Brokers and Agents: People in the insurance business who are specially trained also can help you buy insurance through the Marketplace, and they may have policies that are not offered on the Marketplace. You can only get tax credits or subsidies if you buy through the Marketplace, though. Find a list at ChooseHealthDe.com.

***Update 5:30pm***
Investigators have received information from other law enforcement sources that the suspect in this case is similar in appearance and method of operation to a suspect in several other bank robberies across the state and in Arkansas.
The suspect in question is being associated with the bank robber known as the "Loan Ranger Bandit."
A bank robbery in College Station had cops feeling deja vu Friday morning. For the second time in 8 months the Fedstar Credit Union
on Harvey Road was robbed.
Investigators say the suspect got away with an undisclosed amount of cash.
It was around 11:30 Friday morning that College Station police responded to a robbery at the Fedstar Credit Union on Harvey Road.
Police are still looking for the man they say robbed the credit union in broad daylight. The man, seen in surveillance video, walked in and pulled a gun then demanded cash. He then walked behind the building to nearby apartment complex and drove away.
Police tell News 3 the suspect is a white male in his 20s, wearing glasses. He's around 6 feet tall, medium build with stubble-like facial hair. He was wearing long black basketball shorts, black high top shoes, and a black zipped up nylon jacket and black baseball cap backwards with a "green shamrock".
The vehicle is described as a small blue or silver vehicle. It was last heading north on Stallings Drive.
Investigators weren't at the credit union long. Moments later, they moved in on an area near University Drive and Texas Avenue.
"They had good reason to believe that he might be in this area and so they took every precaution and searched the buildings in this area basically combing of this neighborhood," said Colin Killian with the City of College Station.
Investigators did focus on a dumpster near the businesses off Eisenhower, eventually towing it to another location to search the contents.
This is the same location where a robbery occurred back in December 2011. That robbery ended with the suspect escaping on a Texas A&M campus bus, which resulted in a code maroon being issued.
No arrest has been made yet in either robbery.
Video has also been released of the suspect:

Angered by sentence
Angry? You bet I am after reading former Judge Jean DiMotto's explanation why she didn't send convicted burglar Sylvester Lewis, who has been charged in the shooting of the beautiful young Sierra Guyton, to prison 20 months prior to the shooting of Sierra, allegedly his latest crime in a long line of crimes ("From teen burglar to playground shooting suspect," May 28).
Back then, the district attorney's office recommended to DiMotto that the young man be given 18 months in prison for that burglary. DiMotto paid no attention to that recommendation. Instead, she said the first conviction as an adult doesn't necessarily call for prison and that judges are required to hand down sentences that offer the best possibility for rehabilitation in the least restrictive setting.
Before I cuss a blue streak, I'll ask one question of DiMotto: Did you read the young man's juvenile arrest and conviction record? Beginning at age 12 and until he was 18, he was arrested 15 times — repeat, 15 times — for violations including trespassing, battery, robbery and auto theft. Apparently convicted, he did time at Lincoln Hills, a state juvenile correctional facility.
DiMotto said she was concerned about incarcerating Lewis. Why? She thought he might learn how to commit more criminal activities from other prisoners. Looking at his past criminal behavior, I highly doubt that concern.

Learn from past efforts
We could learn from the past how to stem the violence in Milwaukee.
Near the end of his term and after building many new prisons, former Gov. Tommy Thompson asked a special committee to look at the root cause for prisoners and prisons. It reported back and, according to a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article, prisoners and prisons "are bound to grow as long as the root cause of crime — poverty, lack of education and lack of family support — go unaddressed." Politicians did not listen, and prisoners and prisons increased.
President Richard Nixon was elected with a "law and order" mandate. He launched a "War on Drugs" but also a very successful treatment program for drug addicts. With the emphasis on treatment, crime went down, but after his re-election and Watergate, the successful drug treatment program was forgotten and the War on Drugs led to more crime and drugs.
When Memphis saw an increase in police shootings and arrests of people with mental illness, it created a Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) that was effective. Milwaukee's former police chief's goal was for all police to have this 40-hour training. However, the present police chief, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, has kept police with CIT training to around 20%. Police shootings and arrests of people with mental illness increase.
There are many more lessons from the past that we can implement to decrease violence in the city, if only we could learn from history.

Gay marriage ban indefensible
The May 24 Journal Sentinel featured two sorrowful stories on Page One. One describing the terrible loss of children's lives in random killings and the other describing a waste of time defending a law that is indefensible ("Innocents lost to errant bullets" and "Appeal likely if ban on gay marriage falls").
I find it interesting, but mostly terribly sad, that Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen, the supposed leader of law enforcement in Wisconsin, is so interested in banning gay folks from marrying but has nothing to say about children being shot and murdered on our playgrounds. What is he thinking? Even Gov. Scott Walker, while not admitting he is out of touch, has decided fighting gay marriage is not going to win him votes.
Van Hollen is spending precious resources and valuable time fighting a losing battle while children are losing their lives. Count me as one who values our children's lives over denying loving couples the right to marry.

Improve VA, don't destroy it
Decades and hundreds of thousands of dollars bought me a steady health decline thanks to the medical oligarchies. In just a few years of Veterans Affairs care, I am healthier than ever and on track to be off all meds.
The medical industry model is to treat symptoms for maximum profit. The VA's mission is to improve veterans' health. I have never had a problem getting prompt efficient care. I applied for disability and started getting checks in a couple of months. I have vet buddies around the country, and they have had the same positive experience with the VA.
I read about the issues at the VA in Arizona, and my heart goes out to those deserving vets. I hope the investigations are there to solve these isolated problems. I fear the real reason is to push for privatization of care.
The VA is a shining example of an important and successful government program that works. Let's insist our political leaders continue to support, fund and improve the VA and not destroy it for political gain.
