I've been avoiding reading Josh Feit's diatribe on ill-behaved dogs (a topic selected and sponsored by a Strangercrombie auction winner) because I am a big fan of dogs and also a big fan of JoshI didn't look forward to arguing with him over the merits of canines as pets or, worse, deciding that he's just a joyless prick.
Well, I just finished the piece and I have to say that I agree with most of his sentiments and all of his logic. Many dogs annoy the hell out of me: those unleashed, tough-looking mutts that charge me and my dog while we're walking around the hill, the dogs who shit in the middle of the sidewalk and the owners who leave it there, the out-of-control dogs who greet me by licking, licking, licking my hands and shoes and anything else they can reach…. Of course these bad behaviors are primarily faults of the humans behind the dogsa well-trained dog is usually a well-behaved dog, and training classes should be a mandatory part of dog ownership. (I'd like mandatory classes for new parents, too.)
Anyway, dog owners, read Josh's article. If you recognize yourself and your pet in there, do everyone a favor and enroll yourselves in a basic manners class. Grisha at Ahimsa in Ballard runs excellent positive-training programs.

U.S. National Academy of Sciences labels as "settled facts" that "the Earth system is warming and that much of this warming is very likely due to human activities"
New report confirms failure to act poses "significant risks"
A strong, credible body of scientific evidence shows that climate change is occurring, is caused largely by human activities, and poses significant risks for a broad range of human and natural systems….
Some scientific conclusions or theories have been so thoroughly examined and tested, and supported by so many independent observations and results, that their likelihood of subsequently being found to be wrong is vanishingly small. Such conclusions and theories are then regarded as settled facts. This is the case for the conclusions that the Earth system is warming and that much of this warming is very likely due to human activities.
The National Academy released three reports today on "America's Climate Choices."
Today I'll focus on their review of climate science, Advancing the Science of Climate Change (news release here, Report in Brief here, Read/purchase full report here).
The report is a typical NAS product, which means it is uber-conservative from a scientific perspective, much like the IPCC. So that means whenever it actual makes a strong assertion, like the ones above, it is doubly impressive. Those who continue to attack what are essentially 'settled facts' deserve the label that I and others have been using — 'anti-scientific'.
The report has same fatal failing as the IPCC report: It fails to spell out clearly to policymakers, the public, and the media what the likely impacts are if we stay anywhere near our current emissions path, including both business-as-usual and plausible worst-case scenarios.
The report does note, "A separate NRC report, expected in summer 2010, provides an analysis of impacts at different magnitudes of future climate change." So that presumably will be the report to watch for. It also notes:
Some of the greatest risks posed by climate change are associated with these abrupt changes and other climate "surprises" (unexpected changes or impacts), yet the likelihood of such events is not well known. Moreover, there has been comparatively little research on the impacts that might be associated with "extreme" climate change""for example, the impacts that could be expected if global temperatures rise by 10 °F (6 °C) or more over the next century.
Well, 10F might be "extreme" climate change to scientists who can't imagine why the world basically keeps ignoring their calls to action — but right now, it isn't close to the plausible, "extreme," worst case:
- UK Met Office: Catastrophic climate change, 13-18°F over most of U.S. and 27°F in the Arctic, could happen in 50 years, but "we do have time to stop it if we cut greenhouse gas emissions soon."
No, 10F warming is merely the high end of business-as-usual emissions projects (and I think we are getting a better understanding of what this Hell and High Water means):
- M.I.T. doubles its 2095 warming projection to 10°F "" with 866 ppm and Arctic warming of 20°F
- U.S. media largely ignores latest warning from climate scientists: "Recent observations confirm "¦ the worst-case IPCC scenario trajectories (or even worse) are being realised" "" 1000 ppm
- Our hellish future: Definitive NOAA-led report on U.S. climate impacts warns of scorching 9 to 11°F warming over most of inland U.S. by 2090 with Kansas above 90°F some 120 days a year "" and that isn't the worst case, it's business as usual!"
- "The Copenhagen Diagnosis" warns "Without significant mitigation, the report says global mean warming could reach as high as 7 degrees Celsius by 2100."
- Hadley Center: "Catastrophic" 9-13°F warming by 2100 on current emissions path
- An introduction to global warming impacts: Hell and High Water
The chapter on sea level rise does do a pretty good job summarizing the post-IPCC science (click here). And it reproduces this figure (see "Sea levels may rise 3 times faster than IPCC estimated, could hit 6 feet by 2100"):
But it refuses to draw any conclusions or even present its own range of SLR by 2100. I'm hopeful the summer report will be clearer on this.
The best thing about the report is the unequivocal defense of our basic scientific understanding that the climate is changing and that humans are a primary cause. Here is the discussion of how we know humans are responsible for most of the observed warming in the last century and especially the last several decades (from page 29):
The climate is changing, humans are causing it, and the time to act is now.
Note: I'm in meeting the rest of the day, so I welcome readers identifying any choice nuggets in the report good or bad.
37 Responses to U.S. National Academy of Sciences labels as "settled facts" that "the Earth system is warming and that much of this warming is very likely due to human activities"
This is more credible than IPCC, since it's up to date and less subject to dilution by committee.
I agree with Joe that political action can only occur if the more frightening plausible scenarios are communicated to our leadership and to the general public. There has been too much timidity here, since scientists have been so relentlessly attacked by corrupt members of the media and Congress that they have resorted to more hedging than the data would indicate.
The recent letter from NAS members and these reports show a shift to much more forceful language. It's been refreshing to see our best scientists join people like Jim Hansen in taking a stand. These reports are good, but will join the others in ending up in page 11, or in a 15 second mention right before the last commercial break. The fight appears to be finally under way, though, and it will be a long and tough one, especially now that we know about where everyone stands.
Just received my copy of Clive Hamilton's "Requiem for a Species." Not for the faint of heart, in the book he takes the position that people must become informed in order to prepare, and that scientists need to inform the public, loudly, instead of just whispering amongst themselves. I thought at the release of the NAS reports, Dr. Matson did an excellent job, especially in linking extreme weather events like flooding to AGW.
$45 to buy the PDF? Ouch! That's going to limit its circulation. I could understand the price for a hard copy, but why for the PDF? This is really a shame. This document needs to be everywhere, not hidden away.
I think you can read it for free:
Here is page 228 from "Advancing the Science of Climate Change" http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=12782&page=228 where the temperature response curves for corn and soybean, Vegetative Response and Reproductive Response, are clearly shown…
Corn and soybeans yields will be "negatively affected" "by even small increases in temperature", and "reproductive failure" occurs for corn at 95 deg F and soybean at 102 deg F. Having said that they are apparently done with the subject.
This report, like many others, glosses over the massive threat to the world's grain crop posed by warming. Ideal corn growing conditions coincide with ideal soils in America's corn belt. Shift the temperatures northward, and the ideal soil become the Great Lakes and terrain that has been scraped by glaciers. Plants can cope with heat only if they have enough water–which means irrigation, lots of it.
The agricultural experts in academia and in industry (hard to see where the one leaves off and the other starts) have had so many successes in getting better yields, they seem to think that shifting the temperature tolerance of cell machinery is just another detail. If that were true, then wouldn't they have already developed strains of corn and soybeans that tolerate higher temperatures and give yields comparable to the corn belt?
A hard look at the NAS report has it looking like VP Gore's messages back in 1995. It could be said there is not a lot left to say about America's Climate Choices…except to say we must commit all the resources America is willing to commit to safeguarding our domestic energy industry and the energy status quo (that includes our military costs to protect oil imports).
Maybe it was a silly exercise but I searched the entire report for the word *needed*. It appears 271 times.
Granted the report is the next blueprint for guiding US climate change research. But, what is really needed is for our Congress and the President to treat climate change as the looming disaster that it really is and will spell the end our prosperity and cancel the future of our grandchildren.
John McCormick
"Despite these uncertainties and complexities, it
is clear that Earth's future climate will be unlike the
climate that ecosystems and human societies have
become accustomed to during the last 10,000 years,
leading to significant challenges across a broad range
of human endeavors."
That is incorrect. A "broad range" of human endeavors? More like "the ability of any human's body to maintain homeostasis will be likely near impossible without external aids, and everything else (eating, drinking, breathing) goes downhill from there."
Well you know that if the corporate media bother to report on this at all, they'll be fair and balanced: they'll give Lord Monckton equal time.
Once again I have to ask, "Show me the evidence."
I went to the links in this report and see generic reports, with general conclusions. ("Warming very likely due to human activity"is not exactly a clear statement of cause.)
Global warming, like all science today, has implications of funding and jobs and prestige. The author implies this is all "factual" and scientific" he does NOT show us clearly the evidence.
For 10 years now I have been asking for a specific journal article that proves global warming is a result of human activity.
Please, just point me to this article. And if you cannot, please say so.
dougmoreland, there is no single journal article that proves AGW. Indeed, there is nothing that proves ANY scientific theory; proof is a mathematical concept, not a scientific one. In the world of science, we have only different degrees of confidence in different hypotheses. Any scientific hypothesis can be disproven at any time by a contradictory datum. Therefore, the best way to judge the merits of any scientific hypothesis is to evaluate the evidence that supports it — ALL the evidence. After you have studied all the evidence — which will take you many years — you can come to a well-founded judgement of your own as to the merits of the AGW hypothesis. I suggest that you start with IPCC AR4 WG1.
If you are unwilling to do that much work, you should instead rely on the advice of a reputable group of scientists. As it happens, Congress realized this problem and created just such an organization nearly 150 years ago. They charged this organization with providing the very best scientific judgement on matters of public policy import. The organization is quite conservative, only publishing advice when it feels very confident of its conclusions. And in fact, in nearly 150 years of operation, this organization has NEVER issued a formal report that was later shown to be incorrect. They have a perfect track record.
What is this organization, you ask. It's the National Academy of Sciences — the source of the above report.
OT, but relevant to prior discussions in the comments section here:
Yup, Revkin dares go there re: explosions to stop the BP geiser
Some in the comments even advocate thermonuclear. Sad to say, but we should have started a betting pool on this inevitability.
I'm not informed either way to make the call on this one, but I recall (correctly I hope) comments here cautioning strongly against this route.
@dougmoreland May 19, 2010 at 4:04 pm:
http://climateprogress.org/category/science/ – and please follow the links to the scientific journals if you want to check JR's exposés. You wil have to visit a library for the articles which require subscription for online reading.
Dougmoreland I'm sorry there's no really kind way to explain this, so take it from another Doug as best you can.
You're asking for what others can't give you. At the end of the day if you're not sufficiently intelligent, are too lazy or have a intractable reason to ignore what's plainly in your face it does not matter what amount of effort you demand from others, you'll never be able to understand or necessarily even see the evidence for anthropogenic warming.
NAS and its NRC are about the closest you'll get to the proverbial horse's mouth, the gold standard for science assessment. If you don't get this most basic fact you need to start doing some homework, on your own because others cannot learn for you. If you can't do the work needed to get caught up on this only you can really know the reason why, nobody else can help you.
Here's a great place to start:
dougmorland, #9: Science will not say unequivocally that you will die if you jump out of a 20 story building. Science will say "more than likely" or 95% or some such. If science tells you that you have even a 9o% chance you will die on your next plane ride are you going to make that flight? You wear seat belts and the chance of a car wreck on any given day is almost vanishingly small. Get real…
Doug Moreland wrote: "For 10 years now I have been asking for a specific journal article that proves global warming is a result of human activity."
That's the difference between science and law. If this were a dispute about a legal issue (and if I were a lawyer well-versed on that issue), I could point you to a specific case that would decide it in a clear-cut and ironclad way.
Science is not like that. There are no ironclad decisions, and no Supreme Court of Science to make them. Likelihoods are the best science has to offer, and that's the beauty of it. Once, as far as we knew, time always flowed at the same rate, everywhere. Einstein came along and showed us exceptions to this rule. We follow the old rule because it is good enough for most activities — but we understand that rule to be no rule at all, but merely an approximation, a likelihood.
It's the same with global warming. No one can prove human activities are causing the change. To do that in your lifetime would require magic. The CO2 concentration would have to be wished back to pre-industrial levels; then the temperature would have to be monitored for a few years.
But if you look at the several lines of evidence — the rising concentration of CO2; the isotope ratio that shows a large percentage of that CO2 to come from old carbon (that is, fossil fuels); the rising temperature; and the fact that sunlight is not getting more intense — it is hard to argue rationally that the cause is anything other than more and more people turning more and more hydrocarbons into carbon dioxide.
Another starting point for Mr. Moreland can be found at realclimate.org
There are several links for complete beginners, some described as "basics" and even one on Climate Literacy!
Sorry if this post comes up twice – I've been in moderation purgatory!
Mike #22, we are going to have significant crop loss, much worse than we already have had, from rising levels of tropospheric ozone.
"…incidence of O3 induced visible foliar injury is widespread across the eastern and western U.S. Visible foliar injury was observed in counties that are meeting the current level of the 8-hr standard and an alternative secondary standard option of a SUM06 of 25 ppm-hr proposed in 1996."
That's from the EPA. They know, they just aren't advertising, how serious the problem is.
Kinda like the oil volcano.
I have a hunch that Doug Morland doesn't want to find the evidence. I'm a non-scientist who has been looking into this issue for the past two years and pretty much ALL I find are scientific papers pointing to global warming being a result of human activity.
Just minutes ago when Fox News read this news piece, Bret Baier ended it by saying "…although many other scientists disagree with the assertion that climate change is caused by humans"
It's always nice to see the overwhelming minority of climate scientists (5-10%) extrapolated into "many others."
Like Robhon (#15), my background–other than basic undergraduate chemistry and biolgy courses–does not prepare me to fully understand the details and nuances of scientific reports. Yet that same background has involved considerable research and analysis in other fields and my conclusions are the same as his. The majority of climate reports and their assorted summaries demonstrate that those researchers who have looked at the issues objectively and with the advantage of science-based reasoning and training reached the same conclusions that the NAS has now reached. I have to trust someone (from time to time) and I find myself trusting the scientists rather than the anti-scientists.
And Joe, once again thanks for this site.
When I started commenting, Robhon was post #15. Before I hit submit he had moved to #18. Sorry for any confusion.
Here's a nice interactive site by the Nature Conservancy that lets you examine temperature and ppt projections, and compare the different climate models. It's quite nicely done. You can select regions (US, states, or global) and choose annual or monthly averages. (of course, projections at the state level likely have considerable uncertainty- I wouldn't buy a retirement home based on these maps, especially since they don't show sea level!)
On page 88 of the third report (on adaptation) we have:
"A somewhat different issue is the vulnerability of coastal energy facilities, especially in the Gulf Coast region, to combined impacts of sea-level rise, more intense storm and land subsidence (CCSP, 2008a). In the near term adaptations are likely to emphasize protecting coastal energy and industrial infrastructures with barriers, but for the longer run investment strategies for new infrastructures may consider shifts in location to less vulnerable areas."
Investment in new nuclear power is longer run no matter what owing to the long time line for decommissioning. Current plans to provide loan guarantees for new nuclear power should come with strings attached to assure that sites at least 100 m above current sea level are chosen for new power plants. South Texas Project and Calvert Cliffs are sites that should be ineligible for loan guarantees.
The report also mentions adapting energy systems by reducing water use, mentioning that nuclear power, in particular, becomes unreliable during heat waves. Nuclear power has more waste heat than other forms of thermal generation owing to the fragility of the fuel. It thus takes more cooling and more water for the same amount of electricity produced. It may not be a good choice in a warming world with changing rainfall patterns that may cut a new power plant's cooling water supply before the plant's lifetime is reached.

Why? Because you are too lazy to do the required reading yourself?
Well, the NY Times had this buried about half-way through the A section.
But my local daily, The Oregonian, had it on page 2, and included a box announcing the ocean heat paper appearing now in Naturw, including a direct quote from Josh Willis (of ARGOS buoy analysis fame).
Ho Hum…. another government body with a vested interest in maintaining their funding in the face of coming staggering cut backs….

Ho Hum…. another government body…
Always a good idea to use a pseudonym when displaying embarrassing levels of ignorance.
Why not get educated? These days you can do it for free if you're genuinely interested in learning.
Wit's End points out, you can read the NAS reports here:
Ho Hum…. another government body with a vested interest in maintaining their funding in the face of coming staggering cut backs….
Uh, no, sorry, not a government body. Members are elected by their peers, and serve pro bono.
There is only one inescapable conclusion from this report:
Current US immigration policy, which over the last three decades has encouraged millions of humans from low-C02 producing nations to emigrate (legally or not) to the nation which produces the most C02 in the world, is absolutely suicidal. Not merely to the US, but to the entire planet.
The US must enact an IMMEDIATE immigration moratorium, and make every effort to return non-permanent residents to their respective homelands, regardless of cost. If we choose not to take this action, nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING we do about climate change will make a difference.
I dont really care which side of the debate you fall on, but the words 'fact' and 'very likely' DO NOT belong together in any document pertaining to science. Either a fact is certain, or it is a theory with a stated probability of actuality!
No Grand statements with a side of bet hedging please, makes us all look like fools.
The US has had many chances to get into the class that takes outcome
into consideration. As climate takes generations in time scale to change
significantly, it has been easy for the class of study without outcome
to proliferate. Seems that spacecraft did make it to the moon and there
is a space station out there. Must be there are classes that take some
consideration of outcome into perspective. Us believers that there are those who show some great intelligence could band together to make a
small tombstone for the earth before it becomes to late to show respect for the ones who thought of outcome on a multi-generational scale.
30) You may want to look at the definition of "settled facts" as used by scientists.
Low impact settled fact. She didn't want to think of climate change
because it might mean that her make-up would melt even more than she
already experiences on her way from her air-conditioned car to the
air-conditioned shopping mall.
Low impact settled fact. He didn't want to think of climate change
because it may mean that air-conditioning expenses could go even
higher and he really wanted to buy her an even larger car so she
could buy even more so he would have a reason to have the new addition
on the house to put all those wonderful new things.
Some point to weather as a way to help the home to be more comfortable.
They say with some types of design the home cans stay more comfortable.
Passive solar heating up north is including heat collecting panels to
bring the power of the sunlight into the home. There is use of some phase
change materials to collect that warmth for release at night.
In hot climates wide overhangs create shade. Radiant barriers in the roof and on the paint of outside walls do much to redirect heat gain away from
indoor spaces.
Another way to redirect heat is to direct it into the ground and exchange for the earths cooler temps about 6′ under the surface.
Many techniques are available to passively keep an area comfortable.
Could we make passive collectors for the new force out in the Gulf?
I am very happy that scientists are speaking out about the realities of climate change. But I am also saddened that it will take such loud shouting for anyone to hear.
Isn't it just too bad, we have to spend some dollars to save our butts. It's hard to believe that in the face of such overwhelming evidence that we squabble over costs. Considering the impacts of this "future" sure to be and sure to be RIGHT FREAKING NOW climate change, we should not care even if "attempting" to thwart this disaster causes a global depression. I'd rather stand in a soup line than be dead.
And to think that so many people think this is a hoax. Let's see, over 3000 scientists, 150 nations and every major science organization in the world got together and ALL agreed to con the entire world into giving them money. Wow, now that's an accomplishment. OR, could it be that they are simply telling the truth, be honest with yourself (and common sense) and ask," Which scenario seems more likely?"

Hamstring flexibilty
I have very poor hamstring flexibilty and have been trying to improve it using the stretchs in Greg Everetts book.
Im not sure If I'm hitting them too hard but they affected by last training session. I felt twinges during extension and my lower hamstrings felt destroyed the day after.
I had been doing the stretches every evening after a hot bath before going to bed. I'm not sure if its just me adapting to the mobilty regime or if I should scale back the streching to every training day after training (4 days per week)?
Also I'm curious as to why my squat is apparently unaffected by the tight hamstrings? I can maintain a tight back to full depth and can perform a squat jerk with good form.
As I age, my success is not great with improving my own hamstring mobility, so I obviously don't have any silver bullets, but I can offer some observations from my own experience, and you can decide if any of this applies to you.
If I do static mobility work without a heavy dose of dynamic mobility work first (ideally a full workout), I'm wasting my time. I get no gains from it and sometimes end-up with jacked-up hamstrings. This is apparently pretty common for aging desk jockeys.
I, too, have decent squat depth, even when things are so tight that I can't touch my shoelaces, let alone my toes. When I can barely touch my toes, I can cossack squat ATG. Some people's hips just don't bend forward great, but turn the legs out and things can open up nicely. YMMV. Regardless, if your range of motion works for what you want to do (e.g., oly lifting), don't wreck your hamstrings getting better at something that you might not care about (e.g., yoga).
An older thread but do want to say something about flexibility. Weightlifting is not my priority, but dance is. Dancers in general are really flexible. Having said that, I'm the most inflexible dancer I know. I can barely touch my toes, but my comfort and positioning in the low squat is really good. As an inflexible dancer, I am constantly stretching. I've done every stretching method and just about every yoga asana method over the 20+ years I have been dancing. I think I can say that most all approaches to gaining flexibility have merit. I don't think there is a best method. I am certainly more flexible now than I was 20 years ago, but the reason for that is simple persistence. I've stretched almost every day and when I take evening classes, I do a one hour stretching session as a warm-up for class. Gains in flexibility have come slowly.
The best piece of advice I'd give to anyone seeking greater flexibility is when stretching, don't try to look flexible. Learn to stretch by feeling the stretch. Think of what us dancers call oppositional forces. For example, when touching the toes, think of a force coming from the top of your head directly into the ground and at the same time another force coming from your tail bone straight up. Those are oppositional forces that create the sense of lengthening rather than crunching.
As a person with a reasonably athletic build, I'm naturally inflexible. When I began dancing I hated stretching. With time and gaining a sense of feeling a stretch, stretching has become one of my most pleasurable physical activities.

Storrs, Conn. - Despite out-digging the Huskies 73-63, the Georgetown University volleyball team (6-9, 0-2) suffered a heartbreaking four set loss Sunday afternoon at Connecticut (11-6, 2-0). The 25-17, 13-25, 25-21, 25-20 loss was the Hoyas' eighth in a row.
Junior outside hitter Brooke Bachesta (Sammamish, Wash./Eastside Catholic) racked up a season-high 14 kills, and added seven digs in the match.
After the loss to St. John's Friday, Georgetown has begun BIG EAST conference play at 0-2. Connecticut is 2-0 after defeating Villanova Friday.
In the opening set, UConn never trailed. Devon Maugle had five of her 13 kills in the set to lead the Huskies. They were out-blocked 5-1.
The second set was almost a mirror image of the first, with Georgetown taking control early and never trailing. They jumped out to a 7-1 lead and dominated in the 25-13 set win. Bachesta was instrumental, with seven kills and two blocks to propel Georgetown to the set victory.
Sets three and four were the most competitive of the match, featuring several ties and lead changes. GU had an early 6-2 lead in set three, but UConn responded with a 7-0 run and it was close the rest of the way.
"In games three and four, we couldn't quite sustain the level of play that we had in game two," Head Coach Arlisa Williams said.
Sophomore outside hitter Alex Johnson (Tampa, Fla./Plant) put forth a strong effort, with eight of her match-high 19 kills coming in the third, and 18 digs for the match. However, it wasn't enough to overcome the UConn.
"They worked hard. They all want it, but we're just coming up short. We're going to get this figured out in practice" said Williams. "The pieces are there. We just need to put them all together at the same time."
Mattison Quayle had a double-double with 13 kills and 13 digs for Connecticut. She was one of three Huskies with double digit digs.
The Blue & Gray are back in action at home for a pair of BIG EAST matches next weekend. They will host Seton Hall Friday, Sept. 28 at 7 p.m. and Rutgers Sunday, Sept. 30 at 2 p.m.

Hours after getting jolted by a moderate earthquake, residents of Hawaii's Big Island holed up for a different force of nature Tuesday: Hurricane Flossie, which brought pounding 25-foot waves in a powerful but glancing blow.
Schools and many businesses closed and shelters opened in anticipation of the storm, which was downgraded first to a Category 2 and then to a Category 1 hurricane with top sustained winds of 85 mph. The storm moved about 95 miles south of South Point, the southernmost area of the United States.
At 8 p.m. local time, the storm was moving to the west-northwest near 10 mph.
CBS Affiliate KGMB9 in Honolulu reports the the Big Island is still under a Hurricane Watch as well as a Tropical Storm Warning, meaning that hurricane conditions are possible within 36 hours and tropical storm conditions (winds at least 39 mph) are imminent within 24 hours.
The island is also under a Flash Flood Watch, through Wednesday, reports KGMB9, which means flooding conditions are possible but not yet imminent.
Aircraft reconnaissance found the eye of the hurricane had disappeared, an indication the storm continued to weaken, forecasters said.
The Central Pacific Hurricane Center in Honolulu said the Big Island could expect winds exceeding 40 mph and 10 inches of rain overnight and into Wednesday.
The storm comes on the heels of a 5.4-magnitude earthquake centered 25 miles south of Hilo. The quake Monday night caused a small landslide, but there were no reports of injuries or structural damage, said Tom Brown, a spokesman for Hawaii County Civil Defense.
More than two dozen aftershocks followed, the largest measuring magnitude 3.2, said Jim Kauahikaua, scientist in charge at the U.S. Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.
Anticipating Flossie, the Federal Emergency Management Agency dispatched a 20-person advance emergency response team that arrived in Hawaii on Monday, spokeswoman Kim Walz said. The team includes specialists in areas of transportation, aviation, public works and health.
"Instead of waiting for an actual disaster and then going in and providing support, we want to be ready," she said. "We've begun to move resources into place ahead of time to be prepared."
The National Weather Service placed the Big Island under a hurricane watch and a tropical storm warning because of the storm, which was supposed to affect the island through Wednesday. A flash flood watch was also issued for the island.
Hurricane-force winds of at least 74 mph extended outward up to 40 miles from the center of the storm, while tropical storm force wind of at least 39 mph extend outward up to 105 miles.
"This is too close for comfort," said National Guard Maj. Gen. Robert Lee, the state adjutant general.
At South Point, resident Brianna Beck visited a favorite swimming spot to watch the waves. Her family prepared for the hurricane by taping the windows and tying down everything in their yard.

Re: Closing Aged Accounts.. Yes It Is Ok
Just read the string about the Amex Oasis program and others with problems with Amex.... and now the thread on closing accounts and aging. I am working on rebuilding my credit scores from some stupid and lazy mistakes....while I am making great progress thanks to the folks here...moved both wife and my credit score over 75 points in the last 6 weeks...expect another 50 point in the next month or two as a few more fixes hit the reports. Biggest issue now is I closed most of my cards 3-4 years ago and replaced them...so my "open" credit age is pretty short and counting against me on the scores. I bring this up here because one of the cards I had closed after having it open since 1986 is an Amex. I thought I read somewhere here about getting a closed account --with no negatives -- re-opened. If that is the case I would love to re-open this card so I can get a boost in my "credit age". Any advice on how to do this? Thanks

How do I put a Twitter button in my iOS app so the user can tweet their score?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Take a look at ShareKit: http://www.getsharekit.com/
It's pretty self explanatory, with documentation on the website And it offers more than twitter, if you want it.
Just saw this question and thought I'd point out that with the upcoming iOS 5, there will be native Twitter support for every app. No technical/implementation details yet, obviously, but if you care to wait for a while you can get your hands on a native library, which will probably make your life a lot easier!
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/06/09/inside_apples_ios_5_built_in_twitter_integration_makes_tweeting_a_snap.html (one source of many)
For anyone still interested, just read an awesome post on exactly this issue. See link for a step by step guide. He couldn't have made it any any easier :)
Another option: DETweetComposeViewController
Works with iOS 4 and later.
Just check this blog post out for Twitter integration in iOS 5.
The advantage of using the tweet sheet is that it's built right onto iOS, this means lots of things:
As you can see we have lots of advantages and incentives to use this and, being that it's so simple, there's no excuse not to include Twitter functionality in your applications!
Just include the header file #import "Twitter/Twitter.h" and add the framework Twitter.framework in the project..
and add the below lines for a button action
TWTweetComposeViewController *tweeter = [[TWTweetComposeViewController alloc] init]; [tweeter setInitialText:@"your score"]; [self presentModalViewController:tweeter animated:YES];
That all.. ur score will be posted...
If u want to add picture use [tweeter addImage:image ]; If u want to add url use [tweeter addUrl:@" your url"];
You can add an EasyTweet button to the app and where it says "Hello. This is a tweet." just add in the relevant content, ie "Just scored 42 points on YourApp.". This will be found in the ViewController.m file.

Control Methods for Sigma-Delta Based Audio Equalizers
In this paper we discuss real-time control of the parameters in an improved structure for implementing one-bit signal processing, in particular the problem of parameter interpolation. The problems of current approaches are reviewed and an analysis of the effects caused by controlling these structures presented. We show that this form of control is benign in both stability and intermediate frequency responses.

Local McDonald's owner receives franchise's highest honor
Local business owner Sue Durlak recently was named the 2011 recipient of the Ronald Award from the McDonald's Corporation. The honor is presented annually to a McDonald's franchisee for outstanding service to the McDonald's brand and local community. Given to only one percent of McDonald's owner/operators nationwide, the award is the highest honor a region can bestow upon a franchisee, as well as the rarest to receive during a franchisee's career.
Durlak owns and operates 10 McDonald's restaurants, nine of which are located in Henrico County. Durlak plays a leadership role on several boards and fundraising committees, including the executive boards of the McDonald's Family of Restaurants of Greater Richmond and Ronald McDonald House Charities of Richmond. Durlak is also the event chair for the charities' annual golf tournament and silent auction events and has raised over $1.4 million to-date. Her company, S.M. Durlak, Inc., also has provided sponsorships to local schools and programs.

I'm a bit confused on how to set up skinlink on electronics. Would a player need a built-in commlink or a commlink connected to a trode net in order for the skinlink to work?
Sign up

Skinlink allows you to interact with a device by contact instead of wifi and wires. Your body basically becomes the wire. So you need something on both end of that wire right?
Do you need a commlink? Yes, physical commlink or implant. Skinlink is just how you connect to the devices.
You also need the accessory on both ends. Whatever device you want and your commlink should have the accessory.
It depends on what type of electronics you're looking to connect. As I understand the above passage, Skinlink uses a body's natural electrical field to connect to any other external device that has Skinlink or any internal device within a Metahuman's body.

It's hard enough to keep cool in the hot summer months. It's even harder if you're "under the hood" welding.
The Hopkins County Fall Festival is excited to host the upcoming, free Emerald City Band concert Friday, Aug. 19, at Celebration Plaza in Sulphur Springs. This is the first of this type of band and concert of this caliber to be held in Sulphur Springs.
Parents who have yet to complete the online registration for their students who will be returning to classes Aug. 23 at Sulphur Springs Independent School District are urged to do so as soon as possible.
Break out the Hawaiian shirts, flip-flops and a favorite beverage with a tiny umbrella because acclaimed tropical musician Sue Manaois is once again gracing Sulphur Springs. It has been three years since her lively steel drums transported the community to a far off beach, and this Saturday she is coming back for the ultimate chill session.
When the Sulphur Springs Wildcats run onto the Florida field for their second football game of the season, they will carry with them a large insignia of their home state.
Sulphur Springs Police Department invites the community to join them and other city employeesSaturday, July 30, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Jay Hodge Chevrolet, where they will be cooking up hamburgers and hot dogs, printing Kid ID cards and encouraging people to "give a pint of life" at the blood drive.
Jury selection is set to begin Monday morning in Hopkins County's 8th Judicial District Court for the trial of Tilton Joshua Isaiah Mapps, who is accused of murder in the June 8, 2015 death of Jonathan Young.
Hopkins County is known for its support and generosity toward others, especially those in need. The community showed their appreciation toward local law enforcement by outfitting every active-duty police officer, deputy and school police officer in Hopkins and Delta counties with active shooter vests.
The city of Sulphur Springs and local churches are banning together tonight at 6:30 p.m. for a special evening of praise and worship on Celebration Plaza. The brain child of City Manager Mark Maxwell, the religious event was planned in response to recent violent attacks in communities around the nation.

Hetero White Center Woman Bites Off Man's Lip
posted by November 6 at 16:24 PMon
The first sentence in the Seattle Times story:
A White Center woman was arrested for investigation of assault Monday night after authorities say she bit off the lip of a man she had been kissing.
The last sentence:
The man's bottom lip was found on the floor of one of their bedrooms. It was covered in hair, but deputies determined the hair was "likely from a cat," Urquhart said.
(Thanks, Mindy!)

"Where the bishop is, there is the community, even as where Christ is, there is the Catholic Church."
~ Ignatius of Antioch (Smyrn., viii, 2) circa A.D. 110, laid down this principle on true union with the Church, versus schism; all the more impressive because his casual use of the word "Catholic" demonstrates the widespread acceptance of the term at a very early date.

Lori Greenberg is a bead and jewelry artist who continually strives to 'defy the ordinary' in her designs, techniques and approach to creating in general.
Lori's education and experience combine her analytic problem-solving skills with an organic, flowing style of design. The resulting pieces are juxtapositions of structured and free-form organic elements that exist together seamlessly.
Lori's work and method are not about perfection but about process and expression. While all pieces are durable, technically sound and visually appealing, perfection is lost in the organic forms and freeform construction.
Viewers have noted feeling strangely drawn to Lori's beads and jewelry as if they have personalities that call out to them. Others have said that when they wear one of her pieces that they can't stop looking at it or fondling it. They are being drawn to the soul of the work; the joy in the process.
In her studio in the foothills of Cave Creek, Arizona, Lori creates unique beads, murrine, and micro-mosaic using a propane-oxygen mix torch. A custom, digitally controlled kiln ensures that everything has guaranteed strength and durability.

Harmful substances and environmental risks
Radon is a colourless, odourless, tasteless radioactive gas found naturally in the environment. It is released into the air during the natural breakdown of uranium in rocks and soil. Once released, radon breaks down into radioactive elements that can attach to dust and other substances in the air we breathe. It's also a common type of radiation exposure.
We are exposed to radon when we breathe in contaminated air. You may be exposed to radon-contaminated air for a variety of reasons:
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies radon as a known cause of cancer. Find out more about how cancer-causing substances are classified.
Exposure to radon gas increases your risk of lung cancer. This risk depends on the level and length of exposure, as well as if you are a smoker. Lung cancer can develop after years of radon exposure. Health Canada estimates that about 16% of lung cancer deaths are related to being exposed to radon in the home. Radon exposure is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers and it's estimated that in Canada there are more than 3000 lung cancer deaths related to radon each year. If you smoke, you are at an even higher risk of developing lung cancer if you are exposed to radon.
The Canadian Cancer Society recommends that Canadians test their homes for radon and take action to reduce high levels.
Radon levels in most homes should be reduced to as low as reasonably achievable. The age of your home is not a good indicator of how high indoor radon levels could be – the only way to know how much radon is in your home is to test.
To test your home for radon, you can purchase a test kit at some hardware stores, or online from several organizations working to reduce radon. You can also hire a C-NRPP certified measurement professional to perform a test for you. Find out more about how to test for radon in your home.
If the level of radon is above 200 Bcq/m3, you should work with a C-NRPP certified professional to lower the levels in your home. However, even if the radon levels are below 200 Bcq/m3, you may still want to take action to lower the levels in your home.
Health Canada's radon action guideline is 200 Bcq/m3, but other jurisdictions have set different limits. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a limit of 100-300 Bcq/m3, and the United States has a limit of 148 Bcq/m3. Radon levels in most homes can be reduced to around 75 Bcq/m3 or less.
The Canadian Cancer Society is conducting a radon testing project on Vancouver Island. Free radon test kits will be distributed during September - October 2016, and collected in February 2017 to single detached homes in Nanaimo, Colwood and Gordon Head.

BEST BETS: "Jessica Jones," "Big Trouble/Escape from New York" & More October 2016 Highlights
Comic Books
Finalists have been announced for the 2011 Hugo Awards, which recognize the best in science fiction and fantasy.
Presented annually since 1955 by the World Science Fiction Society, the Hugo is among science fiction's most prestigious awards. This year's winner will be presented Aug. 20 in Reno, Nevada, during Renovation, the 69th World Science Fiction Convention.
The nominees for best graphic story are:
• Fables, Vol. 14: Witches, written by Bill Willingham; illustrated by Mark Buckingham, Steve Leialoha, Jim Fern, Craig Hamilton and David Lapham (Vertigo)
• Girl Genius, Vol. 10: Agatha Heterodyne and the Guardian Muse, written by Phil and Kaja Foglio; art by Phil Foglio; colors by Cheyenne Wright (Airship Entertainment)
• Grandville Mon Amour, by Bryan Talbot (Dark Horse)
• Schlock Mercenary: Massively Parallel, written and illustrated by Howard Tayler; colors by Howard Tayler and Travis Walton (Hypernode)
• The Unwritten, Vol. 2: Inside Man, written by Mike Carey; illustrated by Peter Gross (Vertigo)
This is the third year for the graphic story category. Girl Genius won the award the two previous years.
The full list of nominees can be found on the Renovation website.
Publishing | Following Friday's news that as many as 80 employees will be relocated or fired in DC Entertainment's restructuring, Rich Johnston claims that most of the staff reduction will come from the end of temporary contracts. "DC has made it a policy to replace outgoing support staff with temporary staff for just this eventuality," he writes. "New positions will open in Burbank to cover what is now needed over there, but there will be no cross-country moving arrangements for temps to fill them."
Sean Kleefeld, meanwhile, provides commentary on the cuts: "Those layoffs? Those are for actual employees. Those are going to be admins and accountants and file clerks and licensing specialists and whatnot. Probably an editor or three. People who come in to DC's offices in New York City to do their job. But what about the comic creators who also suddenly have the rug pulled out from under them? With Wildstorm and Zuda going away, won't that mean all those creators who were working on books under those imprints no longer have an outlet for their work?" [Bleeding Cool, Kleefeld on Comics]

"Buda - One of My Favourite Towns" Budapest by hartti
Budapest Travel Guide: 7,624 reviews and 17,795 photos
Budapest consists of two towns: Buda and Pest. Buda side has all of the hills and from the other side you may admire these hills. River Donau is splitting these parts.
The best view you may see from the Buda Castle Hill. The Parlament House is the object in main role on the Pest side of the river Duna.
On the Buda side, Castle Hill there are many actractive buildings. One is the old Town Hall, just oppsite side of the Matthias Church and Hilton. There I was working on 80's. That time in that house was a special "etterem", a lunch place one could have tasty local lunch and espresso with reasonable price. Later I was there the place was disappered, as many these kind of dining places. Pity!!!

I've recently added products to our website and as you can see the first row has 3 products which is what I want, but the remaining rows are not.
I then have 1 item on 1 row then 2 items on the next row?
This also happens with "You may also like" and "Related Products"
I've tried a few things, I've made the centre column wider but this doesn't change anything. I know it's wide enough because the first row has 3 products.
I've also changed theme settings in the backend to reflect 3 items but this also doesn't change anything. I've tried multiple variations of code that people have posted in other support threads but they don'ty do anything either.
// Change number or products per row to 3
add_filter('loop_shop_columns', 'loop_columns');
if (!function_exists('loop_columns')) {
function loop_columns() {
return 3; // 3 products per row
I've also downloaded the plugin WooCommerce Product Archive Customiser plugin and this is set to 3 for products per row and I've still had no luck.
I've checked over my CSS file and code through the back end but I can't seem to find any reason as to why the products are acting the way they are.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

When computing magic turns bad
Published: Tuesday, January 18, 2011 at 8:41 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 18, 2011 at 8:41 a.m.
ATLANTA — Computers are a curious mix of magic and technology.
You don't believe in magic? Well, then explain to me how a computer knows the exact moment when you'll be most inconvenienced by losing an Internet connection. I'm convinced that some inner clock and calendar tracks these critical moments and chooses the most painful time to cut all the computer's ties with the outside world.
The only way to fight magic is with magic of your own. Today we'll dip into our battered magic hat and pull out countermeasures designed to get you back online when the connection fails. These are easy and safe techniques.
There are more elaborate ways to attempt to restore a connection. In the right hands, they can work miracles. In the wrong hands, they can do more harm than good. So we'll stick with ways that have a good chance to restoring service and — at worst — won't do any harm.
There are some practical and non-magical things to try before delving into your bag of tricks. Following these simple steps can save you both time and embarrassment.
If you connect with DSL, check the phone to make sure you have a dial tone. If you use a cable modem, turn on the TV to see if you are getting your usual programs.
All the fixing in the world won't help if the problem point is outside your control. Basic as that is, you'd be surprised at how often smart people, including technicians, ignore the obvious.
Next take a look at your modem and make sure that the status lights on the face of it are glowing. If they are not, check to see if the power lines connected to it are attached and secure.
Also check the phone line connection. It's easy, while moving things around, to jostle things enough to disconnect a wall wart that's furnishing power, or even to jog an ethernet cable enough to lose the connection.
I realize this is the high-tech equivalent of baby talk. But failing to do this first is very much like deciding to rebuild the motor on a balky car without checking to see if the car is out of gas.
There's one last thing to check. If your connection to the modem travels through a wired or wireless router, then bypass that device and use a wired connection from the modem directly to a computer. That is a perfect way to narrow down the list of suspects. If the direct connection works just fine, you will know the problem lies with your router or the connections to it.
If none of these steps help, then it's time to open your bag of tricks.
Our first trick for restoring an Internet connection is also embarrassingly simple. About the only merit it has is the fact that it will instantly restore a lost connection more than half the time. If you've followed the column for a for a while you'll recognize it. The same method — I call it the old on and off — can often restore life to a seemingly dead computer.
It goes like this. Turn off your computer, unplug or turn off your modem. Same deal with any router or hub you use to network your computers. Let things sit like that for long enough to have a cup of coffee. Then turn everything back on. If your connection is restored, know when to quit. Stop fixing and worrying right there. Avoid fixing things that work just fine.
What you've done (if this works) is to force your modem to renew its connection with your Internet provider. Despite the simplicity of that, it's the most powerful trick in your arsenal.
If that doesn't work, there are still other things to try.
Unplug all telephones and other devices such as a FAX machine from the telephone line used by your DSL modem. If that solves the problem you may need to add a filter to the offending device. These filters may be furnished by your Internet provider. If not you can pick them up inexpensively at a store such as Radio Shack.
It's also possible that one of the devices plugged into the line is defective; I've seen phones that work just fine yet they've developed a glitch that disables the Internet connection. If the connection is restored after you disconnect all devices, then reattach them one at a time to find the offending phone and replace it.
Around about now, if nothing you've tried has helped, you need to telephone your Internet provider. Sure, you are in for a dose of canned music while on hold. But if you're still among the poorly connected in life, it's really the only option. For one thing you'll find out if there is an outage in your area that's causing your problem. For another, you'll be guided through some more elaborate techniques that may restore your Internet connection.
Before you make the call jot down the make and model of your modem. You'll be asked to furnish that information and having it at hand will speed the process. Also prepare yourself: You'll almost inevitably be asked to repeat some of the steps I've already mentioned. Even though you've already tried, meekly repeat them. In the long run that will save time by not protesting and — who knows? — maybe it will work this time.
Once all that's done, the technician probably will help you pull up the settings for your modem onto your computer screen. You may be asked to change or reset them. While you can find online directions for doing all that yourself without calling technical support, it's best to have help while doing it.
The step-by-step approach from technical support serves the same purpose as the checklist used by pilots. You avoid the chance of missing the obvious and you also have the reassurance of having help on hand if you make a mistake while trying to follow the directions.
This final step is almost sure to solve your problem. In some cases the technician may help you download an update for the modem. In other cases, you may find that you need a new modem.
Either way, you'll have finally found just the right touch of magic for getting back online.

Brief Explanations
To make a file smaller in size, we use less than 24 pixels to represent anything, thus we try to minimize the pixels required thereby heads on to minimizing and thus considering only key values.
This also enables us to transfer the data of image faster. Compression basically relieves us from the storage worries as it requires very small space.
A constant:
It simply means a variable whose value can not be changed.
In java a variable can be made constant by declaring it static and final, static means a variable has only one value for the whole class and final means that the value is unchangeable, thus the constant is the class variable which is unchangeable.
By java naming convention constants are written in uppercases.
class k
//some code
//constant integer type variable CONS
static final int CONS = 9;
//some code
Vector graphics:
It means using the basic geometric figures to represent images in computer graphics. It is named so as it involves usage of vectors to represent graphics or geometric figures.
Every point has a definite x and y axis. It is also called as raster graphics.
These days many of the printers use this technology, thus the image to be printed or scanned first they need to be rasterized that is converted into pixel arrays.
World Wide Web consortium standard for vector graphics is scalable vector graphics (SVG)
Bitmapped graphics:
It roughly means to map a value from common form, like integers to bits. This mapping is called bit map array. When for rasterizing these but maps are used then it is called as bit mapped graphics.
The number of pixels actually regulates the clarity of the picture of image drawn by this technique. This is generally seen in digital pictures and scanned images.
A Package:
It is an approach to organize copious number of classes java possess. It provides unique namespace for the values or types, it contain. For using any class of a package, we need to import the package. To import all the classes * is used.
Syntax to import is
import java.awt.*;
It is a special kind of relation between a super class and a sub class. This can be realized in real sense by using the keyword extends.
It is a property that allows a sub class to access the methods and variables of super class even after being in different packages.
For example,
class supP
class subP extends supP
An Interface:
It is just like abstract class except that unlike abstract class which can have abstract as well as concrete methods, it can only have abstract methods.
A class can implement multiple interfaces. An interface can never implement another interface rather an interface extends another interface.
For example
interface fi
void jK();
class gi implements fi
void jK()

This review is from: PNY VCGGTX7602XPB G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card
Pros: One of the cheaper 760s
Enough performance for 1080p, even with a little AA in some cases.
Blower cooler doesn't dump heat into my CPU.
Cons: Some QC issues with my first card.
I couldn't afford a 770.
Other Thoughts: Bought it on release day based on good experiences with PNY's Quadro cards. Ran fine for awhile, then I started to notice it seemed to run hot and loud. I blamed the cooler. Eight months in it stopped working completely and I filed a warranty case.
One painless RMA later I had a new-in-retail-packing card that runs cooler and quieter under heavy load than my last one. Kind of disappointing that it took that to get it worked out, but it means that it's not a defective design, it's a QC issue that (presumably) was fixed between my early card and the mfr date of the new card.
This review is from: ASUS Z87-A LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: At ~$120 when I got mine, it was one of the cheaper Z87 boards
Decent selection of ports and headers
Cons: Automatic overclocking is a joke. Using it guarantees you're going to be rolling back to defaults to clean up it's mess
Died at just over 11 months old
Support has ranged from "trying to help, but encumbered with scripts and red tape" to "blame everyone and everything else"
Other Thoughts: Finally got some free time, thought I would give manual overclocking a whirl. Before I started, I decided to reset to factory defaults to clear out the various power-saving I'd turned on. Immediately after loading optimized defaults it stopped POSTing. Removed the power, cleared the CMOS, removed the GPU, removed the drives, shuffled the RAM around, tried someone else's RAM... no dice. Called support, was told that it was probably the CPU based on the case speaker not even giving an error beep. RMA'd the processor, still didn't post. Opened a warranty claim on the board.
Earlier this week the replacement board came in, and two of the RAM slots cause a failure to POST when occupied. Called support and they said that they found nothing wrong with my board and sent it back, but the CPU socket is a different color and the S/N sticker changed, so what really happened is anyone's guess. They gave me a label to send the board back, but my new RMA number doesn't return a result in their online RMA status page, so who knows when I'll be back online.
Asus is having support and QC problems. AVOID.

Shadown Complex gets video, looks fighty
IGN's posted the first proper gameplay footage of Epic XBLA platformer Shadow Complex, and it's looking fine.
It's all about fighting in a power-suit, as you're see after the break, using hands, guns and rockets.
The game was announced in Microsoft's E3 press conference this year. It's out on XBLA later this year.

Due to dust or so, the Volume Control Wheel does not work properly. Volume goes to one speaker, and other gets muted. Vice versa. When I carefully turn the wheel sometimes the Volume works properly or sometimes with noise or muted one side.
As I write this, I've cleaned it up with Petrol drops. PCB is drying. I chose Petrol because Contact Cleaner is expensive solution. Am I correct or any other method could be used?
Thank you.

Definition of blastoderm in English:
A blastula having the form of a disc of cells on top of the yolk.
Example sentences
- When the membranes surrounding the peripheral nuclei fuse to form the 6000 cells of the cellular blastoderm, they enclose 175-225 polyploid yolk nuclei within a large syncytial yolk cell.
- As a result, the blastodisc on the yolk becomes a blastoderm.
- When the egg is laid, the blastoderm contains several hundred cells.

One of the two cities not on the east or west coasts to be recognized. :)
Even though the list was in alphabetical order, I smiled when I saw Milwaukee listed ahead of NY. Colleen and I go to NY at least once a year and as great as it is, the art scene in Milwaukee is incredible. We often say: Milwaukee does it better.
Though the recognized artists here and the Calatrava certainly help, there hundreds of talented artists who are not known nationally. This is one secret that should be divulged!Hide replies
Milwaukee does art better than New York??? Well....
There's a little town in Wisconsin whose football team is better than most, too. Go figure.
@philo: What does the Calatrava have to do with anything? I'm not trying to be snarky, I seriously want to know what this has to do with Milwaukee as an art-centric city?Hide replies
Architecture is an art form in itself, but having a renowned venue for art to be exhibited contributes to the vibrancy of the scene. Much like the I.M. Pei addition to the Louvre, or Frank Gehry's work on the Guggenheim, Bilbao, or Frank Lloyd Wright's work in New York...The architect can create art with the structure, but also contribute to exhibits through beautiful, effective spaces (although there is still debate around how effect Wright's spaces were/are).
We're proud of Milwaukee and its art scene, but even Ms. Schumacher would agree that is a very misleading headline.Hide replies
It's just missing one lousy "a."
Awesome news! hopefully the mayor and country exec take heed to this and determine how to capitalize on this news!
I'm glad Milwaukee made this list, but sometimes I wonder about these list. Milwaukee is not ahead of New York when it comes to art. Not sure if they just listed the cities in no particular order. New York is in a list with Paris and other Euro super cities, not Milwaukee. Also, no Boston or Chicago. Kinds strange.
When it comes to walkable vibrant cities. Dallas wouldn't crack the top 30. Nobody walks in Dallas.
I see that it is alphabetical order. My bad. Still glad Milwaukee made the list. Very underrated city. Too bad the locals spend so much time trashing the place. Maybe more of these people should travel more often then they would realize Milwaukee is a decent city after all.
Fair question. The Calatrava is what often gets visitors "in the door". It's a wonderful piece of architecture that brings a lot of people into Milwaukee. (That's the good news)
The downside is that the original art museum, the War Memorial lacks the original stunning beauty it had when it stood alone atop a grassy hill. I think the building needs to be restored.
If only there were rapid transit/train/trolley from the far western (Waukesha County) to and from Milwaukee's east side/downtown!!!Hide replies
What on earth does that have to do with the subject? There are buses that travel that route, are there not? Anyway, driving it is usually faster than it would be taking some kind of train, when you consider having to get to a station and park and so on.
I live on the East Side, walking distance to the Calatrava and Third Ward, and all the rest of it. I get out to Waukesha County for various reasons pretty often, with family members out that way and business contacts in Waukesha and Pewaukee. Would I take rapid transit/train/trolley, ever to get there? Nope. B
I made my way around the Chicago area by all types of transportation (train, CTA bus, cab, The El, private commuter bus) for 3 decades, so I am not a novice re: public transportation.
Al Lindro, even if you never used transit out to Waukesha County, others would--which would help you by reducing traffic and making your drive easier, faster, and saner.
Can you imagin how we would have been ranked if Someone had allowed the blue workshirt to be installed as planned? Or, if we had a park district to support our art displays......?

Telling boutfor Pacquiaoset tonight
MACAU Robert Garcia, the trainer of Brandon Rios, said Friday that Manny Pacquiao is showing signs of coming to the end of his career and vulnerable in the WBO welterweight title fight.
Pacquiao is coming off two losses and has not fought since his devastating knockout defeat at the hands of Juan Manuel Marquez almost a year ago. Garcia said hes noticed subtle signs of decline in the Filipino boxer, once considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.
Everybodys end comes someday and it could be this fight, Garcia said. He does have a lot to lose in this fight, and thats pressure not only for him but his trainer and everybody in his camp.
There are things Ive seen in his last two fights that maybe a lot of people who havent fought dont see. I went through those things and I already see them ... A lot of fighters go through the same things, they dont even tell their wives, but I can see it in him.
Pacquiaos trainer Freddie Roach bristled when told of Garcias comments. There has been no love lost between the two camps since a physical altercation between them in the training gym on Wednesday.
When does he watch my guy? Does he see my guy train every day, does he see the sacrifices my guy goes through, does he see the roadwork we do every day? Roach said.
If Manny shows any sign of slippage in training camp Id be the first to tell him its time to quit, and its not time yet for sure. I hope they are overconfident because Manny is going to destroy this guy.
The undercard for the fight at The Venetian casino in Macau begins Saturday night, followed by the main event about 3 hours later. It begins early Sunday local time.
Pacquiaos contentious points loss to Timothy Bradley, followed by his frightening knockout against Marquez had raised questions about whether he could ever get back to his top form, with Garcia among the doubters.
The Manny of three, four years before should have beaten Bradley, Garcia said. Marquez is 40 years old and Pacquiao was supposed to beat him, to knock him out. Pacquiao got tired and he got knocked out, it wouldnt have happened three or four years ago. He hasnt dropped anybody since 2009.
Roach acknowledged Pacquiaos recent failure to knock out opponents dating back to his victory over Miguel Cotto in 2009 but said the Filipino fighter was eager to do so as way of announcing his return to the peak of the sport.
He could have knocked out a couple of guys since then, but his compassion got in his way, Roach said. Coming off two losses, he knows he has to be impressive, and being impressive is not winning by close decision, being impressive is winning by knockout.
I dont feel Rios can go the distance with a guy with the talents of Manny Pacquiao. Its a world-class fighter going in against a guy who is a journeyman at best.MORE IN Sports WireFOXBOROUGH, Mass.

The satellite distribution of digital broadcast signals to the home has become widespread in the last seven years, delivering hundreds of television channels. We we have also seen other services appear, such as Direct PCTM where data is broadcast. This service may be used to deliver information like stock quotes to a large number of users, or information such as Web pages may be requested by a single user. In the latter case, however, a return path is needed from the end user to the service provider in order to provide the specific information requested by the user. In services offered today this information is usually provided by a terrestrial return link, most often a telephone line. While a telephone line with a modem is adequate in most cases, it has the drawback of tying up an existing telephone line for a considerable amount of time for very little data transmission, or requiring an additional line. Furthermore, in many parts of the world a telephone line may not be readily available. In these cases a satellite return link may be a viable option using VSATs. We describe an investigation and simulation of a return path VSAT link designed specifically for delivery of Web traffic requests to a base station and thence via a terrestrial link, using the Internet, to a Web server. The focus in this work is on the MAC protocol to support such a satellite channel and on modeling the whole service from traffic generation through transport, network, and MAC layers to the physical channel
