Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, is a large city on the west coast of India. Its location on the Arabian Sea made it an important trading post for spices and other goods back into the times of the Greek and Roman empires. The British took control of the city in the mid-17th century, and turned it into a major commerce city. Today, Mumbai is a thriving metropolis with many extremes; both the super wealthy and incredibly impoverished live here, often within a few blocks. Mumbai's attractions for tourists include shopping, numerous attractions, and an introduction to the city's favorite industry, Bollywood movies.
Visa and Passport
All U.S. citizens must acquire a visa prior to traveling to India. All of India's visa applications for the U.S. are handled by Travisa Outsourcing (indiavisa.travisaoutsourcing.com), which maintains offices in New York City, Chicago, Houston, Washington, D.C., and San Francisco. Applications can be done on the same day with an in-person visit, or up to nine days if applying by mail. U.S. citizens of Pakistani origin may have additional processing times for visas of up to six weeks. To qualify for a visa, travelers must have a passport valid for at least six months after the visa application date, and two blank pages.
Travelers from the U.S. are in for a long haul for flights to Mumbai; from New York City direct flights are more than 15 hours long. As of early 2011, no direct flights operate between the West Coast and Mumbai, and flights are generally in the 20- to 40-hour range, including connections. A wide variety of airlines, including Indian and U.S. based carriers, offer nonstop flights from New York to Mumbai; additional flights may be available from other major East Coast hubs such as Atlanta, Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia. All international flights land in Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (csia.in; airport code BOM), about four miles north of downtown.
Hotels, hostels and other accommodations in Mumbai can range from the luxurious to the rustic, and contain everything in between. One of the top hotels in the city is the oceanfront Taj Mahal Palace (tajhotels.com), which opened in 1903 and has played host to celebrities, royalty and heads of state. A huge range of hotels is available in the city and its suburbs; for further assistance in finding accommodations, contact the area's Maharashtra Tourism Corp. (maharashtratourism.gov.in).
Mumbai is a huge metropolis, with an equally large number of attractions, events and daily happenings to keep its residents and visitors entertained, including beaches and the city's most famous industry, Bollywood movies. Additionally, a few hundred years of colonial influence has left a distinctly British mark on the city, which has a variety of ornate Victorian buildings, including the Gateway of India, a large arch on the waterfront, near the Taj Mahal Palace hotel. Both of these structures are in the Colaba Fort neighborhood, also home to numerous markets and shops selling local crafts. The National Gallery of Modern Art Mumbai (ngmaindia.gov.in/ngma_mumbai.asp) houses collections of Indian and international contemporary art. The Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya, also known as The Museum -- Mumbai (themuseummumbai.com), is home to a number of exhibits on the culture, art and natural history of Mumbai, as well as some collections of artifacts from other areas of India and Southeast Asia.

When using Quick Cache in combination with the WordPress SSL plugin, the WordPress SSL plugin fails to redirect someone to https. Instead of redirecting, the static cached page is served regardless of http or https protocols.
Not sure if that is something that could even be fixed or if it's just the nature of the beast.

the support post regarding this issue does not seem to work for me. I believe that's because I'm working with a theme purchased from templatemonster.com. I'm trying to hide my post header text.
I've placed
#headerimg h1 {text-indent:-9999px;}
#site-title, #site-description { display:none; }
into my style.css but the header titles still appear.
would anybody be willing to help me figure out why this is, or what I could do to fix this?

I have an iPad(iOS 6) connected to a router which has a DHCP pool. I want to access sites hosted on the internal servers by using the system name instead of the IP address. But I have no provision to use a DNS server!
Eg: Use http://mySys/PersonalWeb/home.aspx instead of http://176.11.x.y/PersonalWeb/home.aspx
Is it even possible? If yes, how?
PS: Please pardon my limited knowledge with network related stuff. I would be happy to provide further details, if any required.

DJI Manifold
DJI releases a computer/graphics card package specifically designed for aerial image processing. This is very, very interesting…a computer specifically designed for computer vision use while flying.

Protopiper Fabrication
Protopiper is a computer aided, hand-held fabrication device that allows users to sketch room-sized objects at actual scale. The key idea behind protopiper is that it forms adhesive tape into tubes as its main building material, rather than extruded plastic or photopolymer lines. Since the resulting tubes are hollow they offer excellent strength-to-weight ratio, thus scale well to large structures.

The Future of the Web Looks a Lot Like Bitcoin
Once metadata gets incorporated into a Nakamoto blockchain, it enjoys all the benefits of the peer-to-peer network that curates it. The entries are accessible to anyone on earth who has a computer and an Internet connection. In order to destroy them, you would have to access every computer on the network (and someday, perhaps, even a constellation of satellites). They are impossible to change, and thus impossible to censor. And they carry with them both a time stamp and cryptographic proof of who created them.

This recording is a result of the collaborative cross-relations that exist between the musicians and composers on the album, and their enthusiasm for each other's work. Violist Jonathan Bagg, composers Scott Lindroth and Stephen Jaffee are colleagues at Duke University, while flutist Laura Gilbert and Bagg were co-directors of the Monadnock Music Festival. While Miriam Gideon's playful and probing Creature to Creature was not written for these players, it seemed to add a different, powerful voice that was aesthetically consonant with the other works on the album. Gilbert and Bagg are joined by harpist Stacey Shames, pianist Donald Berman, guitarist Daniel Lippel and mezzo-soprano Elizabeth Shammash for performances that evoke the character of these wonderful recent compositions.
"... Performances are excellent throughout. Both Lindroth and Jaffe are composers whose discographies always benefit from increase, and those not yet familiar with their work will find this an excellent introduction."

We present a map interpretation system for automatic extraction of high level information from the scanned images of Chinese land register maps. Our map interpretation system consists of three main components: text/graphics separation, parcel extraction, and rotated character recognition. Our approach to text/graphics separation is based on a simple yet effective rule: the feature points of characters are more compact than those of graphics. In the parcel extraction process, the proposed algorithm traces the branches between feature points to extract polygon structure from line drawings. Our character recognition method is based on the matching of extracted strokes using a neural network. The techniques of text/graphics separation and character recognition are robust to the rotation and writing style of characters. Another advantage of our separation algorithm is that it can successfully extract a character connected to a graphical line. Experimental results have shown that the proposed system is effective for the data capture of geographic information systems

Is there an open-source web app for viewing .ics calendars?
I have a server running the open source CalDAV server "DAViCal" to share calendars between co-workers. I (the admin) add/delete the calendars and events, but I want to also host a web app that displays a human-readable calendar, so without any configuration my coworkers can visit a web page and see the calendar. So I need a web app that does the following:
- Creates a human-readable calendar (like month/week/day view) from an .ics file
- Is open-source and able to be hosted on Ubuntu Linux so it's only viewable on my employer's network

Who's the grownup here?
Published: Sunday, December 5, 2010 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 3, 2010 at 11:27 a.m.
He turned 11 last week, the one I call Short Stuff — even though he's fast closing the gap between us.
I look at my boy, his tousled mop of black hair, those brown eyes with a hint of mischief and his smiling face peppered with freckles, and marvel at his outgoing nature and
loving ways.
No child of mine could be honestly called a wallflower, but this one is exceptionally outgoing.
I can't tell you how many times I've started to introduce myself to a teacher, office worker or another mom, only to get interrupted mid-sentence.
"Oh, I know who you are," my new friend will say. "You're Cameron's mom. Everyone knows Cameron."
I never know whether to smile or cringe, given his penchant for sharing family secrets.
I am also well aware that I don't have a lot of room to complain, considering what I do in this space on a weekly basis.
Short Stuff, a teacher once told me, is the kid she sought out on those days when she needed a pick-me-up.
"There's no way you can be sad around him," she said.
There's a whole lot of truth to that.
The boy is bubbling over with enthusiasm for life, and he's happy enough to share it.
So much so that it's rare for him to enter a room I occupy without proclaiming his love for me.
"You're the best mom I ever had," he tells me as he hugs me tight.
That could come across as sarcasm, I suppose, but considering I'm his second mom, a replacement for the one God called home to heaven, I choose to view it as a compliment of the highest order.
As mom 2.0, I dread the day his teenage hormones take over and he shouts through a slammed door that I'm not his real mom and can't tell him what to do. Perhaps I'm wrong and it's a phrase he'll never utter, but I've already warned his dad that he'll have a crying woman to deal with if it does.
Those foot-stomping, threat-muttering days are still a few years away, God willing, and in the meantime, I get to cherish the kid he is today — a big one determined to take care of mom and keep her safe.
I didn't realize that's the role he'd chosen for himself until Thanksgiving week when, through some miscommunication between my husband and myself, I was simultaneously where I was supposed to be and lost.
We were in Disney World's Magic Kingdom when I, weary of trying to keep up with my husband's 6-foot, 4-inch stride and childlike glee, opted to spend time in one of Mickey's many gift shops rather than take another spin on the happy-go-pukey he and the boy were eyeing.
We agreed to reconnect an hour later in a spot designated by my husband.
I showed up 10 minutes early, only to watch the minute hand creep to the hour point and beyond.
Figuring their ride wait was longer than expected or, more likely, that they decided to go again, I wasn't too worried. I just kept a lookout for my taller-than-average spouse and the bright yellow LSU ball cap he sported, both of which helped him stand out from the holiday crowds and made my lookout job a little easier than you might think.
Twenty minutes into my wait, I spotted a harried-looking husband and a frowning Short Stuff looking this way and that.
Turns out that my husband told me to meet him one place, but sure-as-heck thought he'd said to meet somewhere else. I'd been lost for some time, without even knowing it, and they'd been from one end of the 107-acre park to the other in search of me.
The snafu is one that my husband and I joked about and promptly dismissed.
The same, however, is not true of my little man.
He held my hand the remainder of the day and throughout all those that followed, occasionally reaching out to stroke my arm and reassure me that he knew how to get where we were going or that I'd be OK as long as I stayed with him.
I found it touching, knowing that my youngest son was so concerned about my well-being.
My mom, a veteran of this motherhood business who has already guided two sons to adulthood and helped raise a grandson or two, had a different take.
She chalked it up to self-preservation.
If something happens to you, she pointed out, he'll be stuck with dad.
Good point.
Maybe the boy and I should keep watching out for each other.

My observations on that matter:
1. Spawning gets messy after Mars is liberated, but this is actually for good, cuz you can get all the remaining convoy missions (usually, it's Oasis and Eos) using only two spawn areas:
- the road between Hendrix Hall and Mount Vogel exit in Eos;
- housing complex in the S part of Dust that gets attacked by EDF twice.
Sometimes the missions will spawn too far (like, in Dust while you are somewhere in Eos), but even so you can catch up with the convoy if your car is fast enough. Only that there will be very little time left for destruction itself.
2. Convoy missions start repeating (and spawning in the correct areas) only when ALL convoy missions are done. Correct me if I'm wrong.
3. The driver of the vehicle that has to be hijacked is usually persistent as hell and will not stop even after a direct hit from rocket launcher. But if some dumb NPC will drive into a narrow way and stop there, the entire convoy will stop and patiently wait until the path is clear

Freedom of Religion: Attack of the Buddhist Clones!

Dear Mullah Dobson,
You want freedom of religion. You got it.
Here's a great Q&A with the South Korean scientists who perfected SCNT or "therapeutic cloning" last week. Woo Suk Hwang's final quote about his religious justification for human cloning is righteous. (The interview was published about a year-and-a-half ago in the NYT.)

LAKE FOREST, Calif. (AP) -- Three-year-old Jake Paine swung his Snoopy driver and watched his golf ball soar 40 yards in the air, roll 25 feet and drop into the sixth hole at Lake Forest Golf and Practice Course.
The feat was logged by the course, assistant starter Jeff McDonald said.
Jake's shot may be a record. The Guinness Sports Record Book published in 1997 said the youngest person to get a hole-in-one was 5.
Jake, of Rancho Santa Margarita, called it a ''Tiger shot,'' referring to his hero, Tiger Woods, who got his first hole-in-one when he was 6.
The youngster, who got a special permit to play golf a year ago, ended up shooting 48 on the nine-hole, par-29 course.
When asked to repeat the feat later that day, Jake -- who has never had a lesson -- stepped up to the tee and dropped the ball only a few feet from the cup.
As he left the course for the day, Jake yawned and told his dad, ''I'm sleepy. I can have more Tiger shots tomorrow.''

text: The General Assembly unanimously approved a resolution sponsored by Assembly Deputy Republican Leader Anthony M. Bucco to honor the first Dover Township police officer who died in the line of duty by renaming the Rt. 46 Bridge in his honor. "Officer DeShazo was a selfless public servant who remains a beloved and respected member in the community," Bucco, R-Morris and Somerset, said. "The Officer Thomas E. DeShazo Memorial Bridge will be a testament to a dedicated officer who gave his life while serving his community." DeShazo (Picture from http://doverpolicenj.org/deshazo.html) died from injuries sustained after a motorcycle crash during while he was escorting to a member of Charles Lindbergh's family on May 22, 1930. During his funeral, local merchants suspended businesses and hundreds of residents lined the streets to pay their respects to the eight-year police veteran. "Just as Badge Number 1 will always be reserved for Officer DeShazo, the Rt. 46 Bridge will forever stand in memory of a fallen officer," Bucco said. "I'm honored and privileged to sponsor this resolution on behalf of Office DeShazo's family and the police officers and residents of Dover Township." The Senate approved identical legislation sponsored by Bucco's father, Sen. Anthony R. Bucco earlier this year and the resolution (AJR-58 / SJR-37)heads to Governor Christie for consideration. ####

In-House International was invited to create the opening video and speakers' titles for the first session of TEDxSMU 2012. The TEDx conferences are designed to "give communities, organizations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences at the local level."
For this amazing opportunity we decided to pair Alexander Wright's use of experimental typography with Inkclear's motion graphic skills, and to top it off, invited electronic musician Jimmy Flamante to create the soundscape of the intro video. The speakers' titles were played with no sound as they were looped during their introductions, but for this compilation video we threw in a loop made of white noise / glitchy sounds.
We would like to give special thanks to Sharon Lyle and the TED community for this great opportunity, it was truly great to work with them! You can find all titles and credits here:

Living Life Among the Dogs, and Loving it
Dog-Training Tips
Robin Baizel offers advice on how to work with your dog on good behavior.
Tip 1: Don't call your dog and then punish them.
Tip 2: How to reward a puppy.
Tip 3: House training wisdom.
Robin Baizel and Greg Gibbs know something about making big decisions. The couple gave up the security of steady incomes at the Consortium Library at the University of Alaska, Anchorage, for the uncertainty of owning their own business in Nevada, and the chance at doing what they loved.
About 10 years ago, Robin and Greg rescued a dog who would, inadvertently, change their lives. CD, short for Compact Dog, was a Pit Bull/Akita mix, an immense and powerful animal in need of some responsible training. A concern for his well-being led to a passion for obedience training; 10 years later, Robin Baizel had found her calling: working with dogs.
Convincing her husband, Greg Gibbs, to make the leap and try his hand at running a small business, the couple serendipitiously found a dog-training and dog-care facility for sale in Sparks, Nev. They are now the owners of The Canine Club, located in an industrial park outside Reno.
The trade-offs have been considerable. Their income is unpredictable, they are without insurance or benefits, and they are currently living cheek-by-jowl with four dogs and three cats in a very small RV.
"But if we can just stick it out, I know this is going to turn out to be everything we want it to be," Robin said.

High temperatures and heat waves are related but not synonymous concepts. Heat waves, generally understood to be acute periods of extreme warmth, are relevant to a wide range of stakeholders because of the impacts that these events have on human health and activities and on natural environments. Perhaps because of the diversity of communities engaged in heat wave monitoring and research, there is no single, standard definition of a heat wave. Experts differ in which threshold values (absolute versus relative), duration and ancillary variables to incorporate into heat wave definitions. While there is value in this diversity of perspectives, the lack of a unified index can cause confusion when discussing patterns, trends, and impacts. Here, we use data from the North American Land Data Assimilation System to examine patterns and trends in 15 previously published heat wave indices for the period 1979–2011 across the Continental United States. Over this period the Southeast region saw the highest number of heat wave days for the majority of indices considered. Positive trends (increases in number of heat wave days per year) were greatest in the Southeast and Great Plains regions, where more than 12 % of the land area experienced significant increases in the number of heat wave days per year for the majority of heat wave indices. Significant negative trends were relatively rare, but were found in portions of the Southwest, Northwest, and Great Plains.

IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, Summary for Policymakers
IPCC AR4 Summary for Policymakers
Released on November 17, 2007, the Summary for Policymakers of the IPCC Fourth Assessment Synthesis Report represents the IPCC's most comprehensive and definitive statement to date on climate change. The report presents the key findings of the three Working Group reports released earlier this year by the Nobel Peace Prize winning-IPCC.
The following are some of the key highlights addressed in the Synthesis Report:
- There is strong certainty that most of the observed warming of the past half-century is due to human influences, and a clear relationship between the growth in manmade greenhouse gas emissions and the observed impacts of climate change.
- The climate system is more vulnerable to abrupt or irreversible changes than previously thought.
- Avoiding the most serious impacts of climate change -- including irreversible changes – will require significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
- Mitigation efforts must also be combined with adaptation measures to minimize the risks of climate change.
The Synthesis Report is the fourth and final installment of the Fourth Assessment Report. The previous three installments published earlier this year examined the physical science basis for climate change, the impacts of global climate change, and the solutions to global climate change, particularly options for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
For the full report, visit the IPCC website. For a summary of the synthesis report, click here (pdf). Relevant materials can be linked to from the "Related Content" box above.
Statement by Eileen Claussen, President, Pew Center on Global Climate Change
November 19, 2007
The latest IPCC report underscores the need for immediate and sustained action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, both in the United States and globally. In the United States, many states are demonstrating strong leadership, and I am confident Congress is on the path to enacting a comprehensive mandatory policy in the near future.
Globally, 2008 marks a significant milestone as the Kyoto commitments take effect. But many already have their sights set on a post-Kyoto framework, and steps toward a new international agreement will be the key issue before negotiators next month in Bali.
The ideal outcome from Bali would be a clear mandate to negotiate a comprehensive post-2012 agreement establishing fair, effective, and binding commitments for all major economies. Unfortunately, despite the latest wakeup call from the IPCC, it appears that the United States and some other key governments are not yet prepared to negotiate real commitments. Even if a clear negotiating mandate isn't possible, it is imperative that any process launched in Bali leave the door open to negotiating commitments. That way, when a new U.S. administration takes office, governments can quickly get down to the business of forging an effective and durable post-2012 framework.
IPCC Fifth Assessment Report
What is the IPCC and why is it important?
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for the assessment of climate change. It was established by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in 1988 to provide the world with a clear scientific review of the current state of knowledge on climate change.
Thousands of scientists from all over the world volunteer and are selected to review and assess the latest relevant scientific, technical and socio-economic data to understand climate change, its potential impacts, and options for adaptation and mitigation. The IPCC aims to reflect a range of views and expertise in order to publish comprehensive and objective assessments.
The IPCC does not conduct independent research, rather it convenes climate experts from around the world every five to seven years to synthesize the latest climate research findings in peer-reviewed and published scientific/technical literature. The IPCC issued comprehensive assessments in 1990, 1995, 2001, 2007 and 2014.
IPCC reports are never policy prescriptive but the conclusions are relevant to nations, states, and businesses interested in enacting policies to limit future warming and reduce the costs of climate change.
What is the Fifth Assessment report?
The Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) is the latest in a series of reports from the IPCC assessing scientific, technical, and socio-economic information regarding climate change. It was released in three installments over the course of 2013 and 2014, and an additional synthesis report was published in November 2014.
More than 830 scientists are involved in writing the reports and hundreds more will review and edit the draft reports.
AR5 is broken up into three sections, or working groups:
- Working Group I provides a comprehensive assessment of the physical science basis of climate change: Released Sept. 27, 2013.
- Working Group II assesses the scientific, technical, environmental, economic and social aspects of vulnerability to climate change as well as consequences for ecological systems, socio-economic sectors and human health: Released March 31, 2014.
- Working Group III assesses all relevant options for mitigating climate change through limiting or preventing greenhouse gas emissions and taking actions to remove them from the atmosphere: Released April 11, 2014.
The syntheses report was released Nov. 2, 2014
Each working group report has a Summary for Policymakers that distills the key points from the hundreds of pages found in the respective full report. The Summary for Policymakers tend to be of most interest to the media and non-scientists.
What are the key points in the IPCC Working Group I Summary for Policymakers?
The Summary for Policymakers includes the key conclusions from the longer report in a format suitable for a broader audience. The SPM will include observations of changes in the atmosphere, ocean, and cryosphere, including changes in sea level. It will also discuss our confidence in attributing climate change to human activities. The SPM will also include projections of global and regional climate change for the 21st century, including projected changes in the water cycle, extreme weather, sea level, sea ice, and the carbon cycle.
It answers such questions as:
- What is the state of the science in understanding and attributing climate changes?
- What are the primary drivers of climate change?
- How do recent changes compare to paleoclimatic records?
- In what ways is climate change is already occurring around the globe and how fast are these systems changing?
- What are models projecting for the 21st century climate and how accurate are they?
- Which types of climate changes might be irreversible?
What are the key points in the IPCC Working Group II Summary for Policymakers?
The Summary for Policymakers includes important statements and conclusions from the WGII report and is aimed at a broader audience. The WGII SPM is divided into three sections: 1. Observed Impacts, Vulnerability, and Adaptation in a Complex and Changing World; 2. Future Risks and Opportunities for Adaptation; and 3. Managing Future Risks and Building Resilience.
The WGII SPM answers such questions as:
- What climate-related impacts are already being observed today?
- What are the key future risks in areas such as water resources, coastal and marine systems, food security, human health, security, and economic growth?
- Which groups of people are the most vulnerable?
- What kind of adaptation actions have already been undertaken and which actions could be taken to reduce these future risks?
- How can adaptation decisions be made when the future is uncertain?
- What constitutes effective adaptation action and climate-resilient development?
What are the key points in the IPCC Working Group III Summary for Policymakers?
The Summary for Policymakers includes key statements and conclusions from the WGIII report and is aimed at a broader audience. It assesses all relevant options for mitigating climate change through limiting or preventing greenhouse gas emissions, as well as activities that remove them from the atmosphere. It lays out a number of baseline scenarios that, without mitigation efforts, would lead to substantial warming by the end of the 21st century.
It also describes a number of potential mitigation scenarios:
- To avoid 2 degrees C (3.6 degrees F) of warming relative to pre-industrial time, the report indicates that atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases need to be stabilized around 450 ppm CO2-eq or lower. Given that we are currently around 430 CO2-eq, this is a tall order, requiring large-scale changes in energy systems and land use. For example, achieving this level of stabilization will require more rapid improvements in energy efficiency and a tripling to nearly a quadrupling of the share of zero- and low-carbon energy supply from renewables, nuclear energy, and fossil energy with carbon capture and storage, or bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, by the year 2050.
- The aggregate economic cost of mitigation varies widely, but generally increases based on the stringency of the level of mitigation. In general, the costs of mitigation only offset a relatively small fraction of global projected economic growth for the 21st century.
- The 2020 individual country-pledged goals (under the Cancún Agreements) are unlikely to put us on a path to avoid 2 degrees C (3.6 degrees F) of warming; further substantial reductions beyond 2020 would need to be made. Continuing on the pathways consistent with the Cancún pledges is more consistent with scenarios likely to keep temperature change below 3 degrees C relative to pre-industrial levels.
- If we do not strengthen mitigation efforts between now and 2030, it will be more difficult and more expensive to achieve warming targets, such as avoiding 2 degrees of warming relative to pre-industrial levels.

IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, Working Group II
IPCC AR4 WGII: "Impacts, Adaptation & Vulnerability"
The second installment to the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report was released April 6, 2007. The Working Group II installment to the report addresses "Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability". The WGII report provides a detailed analysis of observed changes in natural and human systems and the relationship between those observed changes and climate change, as well as a detailed assessment of projected future vulnerability, impacts, and response measures to adapt to climatic changes for main sectors and regions.
According to the IPCC, the report from Working Group II on the impacts of climate change answers the following questions:
- What is the current state of knowledge on impacts of climate change?
- What is the state of knowledge on impacts under different levels of adaptation?
- What are the impacts under different levels of mitigation?
- What is the state of knowledge concerning observed effects?

IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, Working Group I
IPCC AR4 WGI: "The Physical Science of Climate Change"
The first installment to the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report was released February 2, 2007. According to the IPCC, the Working Group I Report, "The Physical Science Basis", assesses the current state of knowledge about the natural and human drivers of climate change, reflecting the progress of the climate change science in the observation of the atmosphere, the Earth's surface and oceans. It provides a paleoclimatic perspective and evaluates the Earth's surface and oceans. Main topics include changes in atmospheric composition, observation of various climate parameters, coupling between changes in climate and biogeochemistry, evaluation of models and attribution of climate change.

Statement: IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, Working Group II
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Releases New Assessment Report on the Impacts of Climate Change
Statement by the Pew Center on Global Climate Change
April 6, 2007
The IPCC Fourth Assessment "Summary for Policymakers" Working Group II report represents the IPCC's strongest statement to date on the impacts of global climate change. Because of a dramatic increase in the number and quality of observations, this report concludes that, "it is likely [better than 2:1 odds] that anthropogenic warming has had a discernible influence on many physical and biological systems." The report also projects with greater confidence than in the past that many regions, including North America, will experience severe impacts in the future, even for moderate warming scenarios. Particularly vulnerable are low-lying coastal regions worldwide. Many poor countries at low latitudes are also particularly vulnerable because of a combination of strong climate impacts, low capacity for adaptation, and heavy reliance on climate-impacted resources, such as local food and water supplies.
The assessment is based on extensive published, peer-reviewed scientific literature. Today's report is the second of three major studies that comprise the Fourth Assessment with input from more than 1,200 authors and 2,500 scientific expert reviewers from more than 130 countries. The first report, released in February 2007, examined the physical science basis for climate change. The third report, to be released in May 2007, will explore the solutions to global climate change, particularly options for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Statement by Eileen Claussen, President Pew Center on Global Climate Change
April 6, 2007
This week began with a landmark decision by the US Supreme Court and ended with the release of the IPCC's 4th Assessment on climate change impacts. Following the Supreme Court's decision, it's clear that EPA has the authority – and should -- regulate CO2, and the IPCC report delivered the strongest statement to date on the consequences of climate change. Taken together with increasing calls from CEOs, states, and the public, the message is loud and clear: Read our lips - We need mandatory climate policy in the United States.
Trends in CO2 Emissions
This figure shows emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) by fuel source across all sectors of the economy. The fuels shown are coal, natural gas, petroleum, as well as the total emissions.
Overall, coal and petroleum consumption are down since 2007, while natural gas use has increased. In the electric power and indutrial sectors, natural gas, which emits about half the amount of CO2 as coal, is being used more extensively due to its lower price. In the transportation sector, petroleum consumption is down due to an increase in car and light truck fuel economy (for a similar number of vehicle miles traveled, year-on-year). Correspondingly, total emissions have generally declined since 2007.
Source: EIA (2014)
U.S. CO2 Emissions from the Electric Power Sector
This figure shows the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the burning of fossil fuels for electric power generation. The electricity-generating fuels shown here are coal, natural gas, petroleum and non-biomass waste. Natural gas, which emits about half the amount of CO2 as coal, is being used more extensively due to its lower price and displacing coal-fired generation, while petroleum-fired electricity generation continues to be retired.
Source: EIA (2015)
U.S. Trends in Greenhouse Gas Emissions
This figure shows the trend in U.S. greenhouse gas emissions between 1990 and 2014. Emissions increased by 7.7 percent between 1990 and 2014.
Greenhouse gas emissions have been declining since 2007 for a few reasons:
- A greater share of electricity is being generated with natural gas and renewable energy. This has offset coal-fired electricity generation, which emits about two times the amount of carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) as natural gas-fired electricity generation per unit of electric energy. Energy efficiency has also contributed by keeping electricity demand growth very low.
- Economic activity decreased during the Great Recession, which ran from December 2007 until June 2009. Additionally, the structure of the U.S. economy continues its long-term shift from a manufacturing-based to a service-based economy, which is less energy-intensive.
- Consumption of fossil fuels in the transportation sector has decreased due to lower economic activity, more fuel-efficient vehicles on the road, greater use of biofuels and other social shifts that reduce total vehicle miles traveled, including an aging population, technology (telework), growing cities and greater use of public transportation.
Emissions have decreased 8 percent from 2005 to 2014.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Sector
In 2014, the United States emitted 6.9 billion metric tons of greenhouse gases (CO2e). Greenhouse gases are emitted by all sectors of the economy, including electric power (30% of total), transportation (27%), industry (20%), residential & commercial (13%), and agriculture (10%).

U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Gas
In 2014, the United States emitted 6.9 billion metric tons of greenhouse gases (CO2e). Carbon dioxide accounted for the largest percentage of greenhouse gases (81%), followed by methane (10%), nitrous oxide (6%), and other greenhouse gases (3%). Total U.S. emissions for 2014 totaled 6,873 million metric tons of CO2e and net emissions, taking sinks into account, totaled 6,187 tons CO2e.

Once upon a time, before it was briefly derailed by a staggering budget north of $260 million, Gore Verbinski's Lone Ranger was rumored to include werewolves and creatures Native American myths, which led fans — and, no doubt, Disney executives — to nervously wring their hands. However, those supernatural elements were jettisoned, along with some other pricey components, in an effort to whittle costs down to a more manageable $215 million.
But just how outlandish are those parts of The Lone Ranger that remain? Not very, it turns out. In fact, an early synopsis included in a casting call for New Mexico actors, is pretty straightforward — surprisingly so, considering the Western reunites the Pirates of the Caribbean team of Verbinski, Jerry Bruckheimer and Johnny Depp:
Left for dead in an ambush with five other Texas Rangers, lawman John Reid (Armie Hammer) survives and is nursed back to health by an Indian scout named Tonto (Johnny Depp). He then dons a mask to avenge the murders of his comrades and to foil evil doers, never accepting payment for his services. His gratis vigilantism is made possible by the silver mine he inherits from one of his slain brothers – the same mine that affords him an endless supply of his trademark silver bullets.
The tidbit about they silver mine seems superfluous, but, hey, it's still early.
The Lone Ranger, which is also stars Ruth Wilson, Tim Wilkinson, Barry Pepper, Helena Bonham Carter, Dwight Yoakam and James Badge Dale, is expected to begin filming in mid-February for a May 31, 2013, release.
The silver mine is actualy a real part of the Lone Ranger story.
It just struck me as something odd to include in a synopsis.

Which at-large candidate agrees with you on DC's growth?
It's Tuesday, and that means another Let's Choose DC question is ready for you to vote on! This week, Let's Choose DC (a partnership of Greater Greater Washington, DCist, and PoPville) asked the candidates their views on the District's growth:
Mayor Gray has set a goal of growing by 250,000 residents in 20 years. Previous mayors had similar goals. GMU studies suggest we need over 122,000 new housing units (each of which might hold multiple people) by 2030. How can and should the District accommodate this growth?
Paul Zukerberg, Matthew Frumin, Elissa Silverman, and John Settles provided responses, and Perry Redd this morning promised to get one to us tonight. We did not receive responses from Anita Bonds, Michael Brown, or Patrick Mara. All of the other candidates have withdrawn from the race or did not file their petitions with the requisite number of signatures.
Interesting but similar responses.
The Ward breakdown/political leaning would be even more interesting. Will the results be published?
I hope local journalists take note.
That might be setting the bar a bit too high. I have also struggled deciding on whether a question was fully answered because it wouldn't have been "my" answer. But I think it's fair to judge them on what was specifically asked..and whether they answered the question. Maybe we don't have enough consensus on whether the height is a factor in the city's ability to grow.
Then again, after going through the questions, even without considering the Height Act I still felt no one really answered the question fully, anyway... but I also didn't feel like anyone outright dodged the question, so that's all-in-all a positive.
Granted, I'm not sure the Council formally has the same Congressional standing as Norton (which isn't much weight, either), but the Council does tend to weigh in on the subject- so it'd be good to know what candidates would aim for; what they'd settle for.
Yeah I felt the same way...it was easier to answer whether the arguments were persuasive than if they answered fully.
To run w/ @William's point... to the Let's Choose DC overlords: any plans for questions about the Height Act or DC Statehood/Autonomy?
Since we do talk a lot about the Height Act here, I guess it makes sense to pose the question. However, I don't believe it is as relevant outside of here and because the city itself hasn't dealt w/the issue in full, their answers might not mean a whole lot.

How do I run a printhead alignment once the printer and software have been installed?
Use 6 sheets of good quality paper so you won't get ink bleed or poor reflectivity causing problems with the alignment. A printhead alignment can be performed:
- From the Printer Control Panel:
- Menu button -> Adjust Printer -> Auto Head Adj -> Advanced Adj (Note: Advanced recommended)
- From the GARO Status Monitor:
- Maintenance tab -> Printhead Adjustment
What is the difference between Standard and Advanced printhead alignment?
Standard Alignment is the alignment done when you are first setting up the printer. Advanced alignment prints 6 pages instead of the 5 printed with Standard. The first page is unique to Advanced, the remaining 5 pages appear identical to the Standard alignment pages. According to Canon Tech Support, it is best to use Advanced Printhead Alignment, as it does the alignment per color, but be sure to use a glossy type paper to get a very exact alignment. The Manual refers to the Advanced Head Alignment as adjusting the nozzle, ink tank, and printing direction.

Appeals Court Affirms Ruling Against North Dakota Restrictive Abortion LawWritten by Raven Clabough
On Wednesday, a federal appeals court affirmed a 2014 ruling that struck down North Dakota's restrictive abortion law banning abortions when a fetal heartbeat can be detected. U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland ruled the law unconstitutional last year in response to a suit brought forward by the state's abortion clinic.
Planned Parenthood's strategy of dismissing damaging videos as edited appears in trouble as a second video has emerged, catching yet another abortionist for the organization on tape offering body parts of aborted babies for sale.
Reactions to the video demonstrating that Planned Parenthood sells aborted baby body parts vary from shock to defense of the barbaric practice.

I get asked reasonably often - "How can I use Team Foundation server (TFS) to support Sharepoint application development?"
Guidance is now available on MSDN which promises to help you provide an integrated development environment and single source code repository for process activities, integrated progress reporting, and team roles.
The goals of this guidance really makes sense to me - anyone who has completed a successful Sharepoint development will readily tell you that some of the challenges they faced were essentially basic 'ALM issues' - the sort that team system is very good at solving. Problem is no one I've spoken really knew where to start using TFS - lots of different ideas (perhaps too many) and I guess also a genuine fear of over complicating a Sharepoint based development beyond a sensible 'payback' point.
I'd love to get feedback on your experiences using this feedback for anyone who is in a position to try it out locally.

CradlePoint Enterprise Cloud Manager is a SaaS-type server that enables the remote management of routers. This specification describes a RESTful API that can be used by web applications to access the service.
An API, or application programming interface, is a protocol that enables communication between different software systems. It provides the building blocks programmers need to craft applications that access the data from a software platform – in this case the data from CradlePoint Enterprise Cloud Manager.
REST, or representational state transfer, is a particular architectural style, common for Web APIs, that leverages existing technologies of the Web (e.g. HTTP, XML) to enable information access on a large scale. The REST architecture was first described by Roy Fielding in his 2000 doctoral dissertation.
A REST API is a hypertext-driven API that uses HTTP methods and follows the REST principles. The CradlePoint Enterprise Cloud Manager REST API uses the following HTTP methods: POST, GET, PUT, and DELETE.
Base URL: https://cradlepointecm.com/api/v1/ ("v1" designates version 1)
Authentication: Authentication is the means by which a request proves who it is coming from. This API uses HTTP Basic Authentication. Alternatively, a sessionid cookie (obtained during normal login to ECM) can be used for authentication.
Authorization: Authorization is the means by which the system determines that the requestor has the right to do what it is trying to do. (It assumes that the requestor has already been authenticated, see above.)
Read results are always filtered by what the requestor has permission to read. Create, update, and delete operations fail unless the requestor has the right permissions. Permissions are specific to each account and resource type.

ARLINGTON - The Texas Rangers might not be in a must-win situation, but they're hurting their playoff chances with each loss.
Texas managed just three hits Sunday off rookies Cha Seung Baek and Scott Atchison in a 9-0 loss to the last-place Seattle Mariners.
"Any loss at this point is a tough loss," shortstop Michael Young said. "We realize this loss is not the end of the season, but it does make it tougher on us."
The Rangers started their final homestand with a three-game sweep of AL West-leading Oakland, against the starting trio of Mark Mulder, Barry Zito and Tim Hudson. They got within two games, but missed out on a chance to possibly get closer by losing two of three to Seattle.
Texas starts a four-game series with Anaheim tonight.
A surprise contender after four straight last-place finishes, the Rangers end the regular season next weekend at Seattle.
"What's shorter than a sprint? A dash. How about a leap?" manager Buck Showalter said. "There is still an opportunity for us if we keep grinding."
Seattle 9, Texas 0
Records: Texas is 86-69; Seattle is 60-95.
Impact: Texas remains two games behind Oakland.
Up Next: Anaheim at Texas, 7:05 tonight.
Ichiro Suzuki moved within six of the season hits record, going 1-for-4 with an intentional walk. His sixth-inning single raised his total to 251 with seven games remaining to reach the record of 257, set by George Sisler in 1920.
Baek (2-4) allowed just three hits in eight innings, and Atchison pitched a perfect ninth to complete Seattle's seventh shutout of the season.
"To shut out this team in this ballpark is impressive. It's about as good as it gets," Mariners manager Bob Melvin said. "It's nice to do this in a playoff-type atmosphere. It's not like this makes our season. We're just trying to go out there and win games."
The Mariners are trying to avoid 100 losses just three years after winning 116.
No. 9 hitter Jose Lopez was 2-for-3 with four RBIs for the Mariners (60-95), who also took two of three from Anaheim to win consecutive series for the first time since the first week of May.
Ryan Drese (14-9) had won his three previous starts and had a 2.87 ERA at home but gave up six runs and nine hits in 4.1 innings.
"My ball was just flat as an arrow. My off-speed pitches were up in the zone," Drese said.
Baek threw 114 pitches in just his fifth major league start, escaping a two-on jam in the eighth when he threw a called third strike past Hank Blalock.
A two-run double by Lopez in the second came just two pitches after a disputed call that would have ended the inning.
Raul Ibanez, whose team-record streak of nine straight hits ended Saturday night, led off the second with his 16th homer for a 1-0 lead.
Bret Boone and Jeremy Reed followed with consecutive singles, and Miguel Olivo popped out on an attempted bunt. Greg Dobbs then hit a grounder and was ruled safe by first-base umpire Ed Montague, avoiding an inning-ending double play.
Showalter and Drese, who was covering first, argued the call. Replays showed that Dobbs may have been out.
"It didn't change the fact that we had a chance to get out of that," Drese said. "I hung a slider. That was a stupid pitch in that situation."
Lopez hit the pitch deep to left to for a two-run double, and scored on Randy Winn's double for a 4-0 lead.
Montague left the game before the start of the fifth because of elevated blood pressure. Rangers spokesman Gregg Elkin said Montague was taken to Arlington Memorial Hospital for observation, where he remained after the game.
Olivo stopped an 0-for-31 slump with a leadoff single in the fourth, and scored on a sacrifice fly by Lopez. Ibanzez added a double in the fifth and scored on Boone's single that made it 6-0, chasing Drese.
Lopez added an RBI single in the eighth off Travis Hughes, the second Texas pitcher to make his major league debut in the game. Kameron Loe went 2.2 innings, allowing only Suzuki's single.
Laynce Nix had two of Texas' hits, including a one-out triple in the third.
"We're not deflated," Young said. "We're a good team and we've got some good baseball in us. September baseball ... this is fun for us."

text: Your wisdom on such matters is greatly appreciated, Peterko - thanks for taking the time to answer (in which you could've done 100 battles or eaten some cake, maybe). I've learned a lot from your experiences. Yeah, it's sad that that good Steel types are so few. I might try Registeel if I can be stuffed restarting Emerald and then doing RNG abuse for the first time (in Emerald). But of course there's Lucario who I might consider using... since Jumpman is mentioning him a lot. I'd be more inclined to use a Swords Dance rather than Calm Mind set though. And he has Bullet Punch. Do you think Lucario can get a long streak? ......... no comment.

Sally Ride dies; 1st U.S. woman in space
Sally Kristen Ride, the first American woman to soar into space, died peacefully Monday after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
The trailblazing astronaut and physicist was 61.
Ride took her famous journey aboard the space shuttle Challenger in 1983, when she was 32.
President Obama called Ride a national hero when news of her death broke Monday afternoon.
"She was a fantastic person, and friend," said Terry McEntee of San Clemente, co-founder of Sally Ride Science, an educational company created to promote learning in math, science and technology. "And she leaves a wonderful, wonderful legacy for all of us."
Ride passed away at 10:10 a.m. Monday at her home in LaJolla, surrounded by family and friends, McEntee said.
NASA posted statements from friends and colleagues on its web site Monday.
"Sally Ride broke barriers with grace and professionalism – and literally changed the face of America's space program," the site quoted NASA Administrator Charles Bolden as saying. "The nation has lost one of its finest leaders, teachers and explorers. Our thoughts and prayers are with Sally's family and the many she inspired. She will be missed, but her star will always shine brightly."
She was a physics professor at UC San Diego, but, with her education company, focused much of her effort on middle school students, McEntee said, working to stimulate their interest in science, technology and engineering.
She attended summer camps and science festivals, including festivals at UC Irvine, McEntee said.
She was the only person to serve on the investigative boards for both of NASA's space shuttle astronauts, the NASA statement said.
But Ride's legacy will always center on the historic flight of Challenger that began on June 18, 1983, when she blasted into space with four male crewmembers.
"On launch day, there was so much excitement and so much happening around us in crew quarters, even on the way to the launch pad," Ride was quoted as saying in 2008, the 25th anniversary of the flight. "I didn't really think about it that much at the time . . . but I came to appreciate what an honor it was to be selected to be the first to get a chance to go into space."
She returned to space on another shuttle mission in 1984 and was scheduled for a third. But after the Challenger explosion and the loss of its crew in 1986, she instead took a role on the investigative board.
She left NASA in 1989 to join the UC San Diego faculty, and co-founded Sally Ride Science in 2001.
A Los Angeles native, Ride graduated from high school there in 1968, then enrolled at Stanford, a doctorate in physics among the four degrees she earned there.
She also played varsity tennis at Stanford.
According to an announcement on Sally Ride Science, Ride is survived by her 27-year partner, Tam O'Shaughnessy, her mother, Joyce, her sister, Bear, her niece, Caitlin, and her nephew, Whitney.

Google (GOOG +0.6%) had just 2.1% of the Chinese search market in June, down from 4.7% last October, per research firm CNZZ. Though Google's Chinese share has been falling for some time thanks to its decision to shut down Google.cn and redirect visitors to its Hong Kong site rather than censor results, Qihoo's (QIHU +3.4%) decision to make its own search engine the default engine for its browser, and thereby swap out Google, has sped up the trend. Qihoo is now estimated to have a 15.3% share (was 9.6% in Oct.), and Sohu's (SOHU +1.3%) Sogou 8.8% (7.8% prior). Baidu's (BIDU +1.1%) share is believed to have fallen to 69.4% from 73%.
