Panera customers recently submitted their homemade concoctions as part of the company's national "Sandwich Showdown" contest. Panera Bread has since narrowed the field down to the top 20 finalists and has invited the public to go online at www.TLC.com/Panera to name the best sandwich in the United States.
Among the finalists is "Lynne P." of Marion, whose entry is called Buster Beefwich. Built on ciabatta, the sandwich is filled with roast beef and applewood smoked bacon, white cheddar and red onions, seasoned with barbecue sauce and black pepper, and served hot or cold.
The story accompanying the recipe states, "When my mom was battling cancer we would make these. We called it the 'magic sandwich' since we were quite sure the perfect combo of beef, bacon, and barbecue sauce with cheddar and red onion could bust any blues away. ... She lost her battle to cancer but we still eat this sandwich of champions! Enjoy!"
Sandwich enthusiasts submitted their original sandwich recipes online at www.TLC.com/Panera. The site gave contestants a list of Panera's toppings and ingredients, which could be combined with its artisan and other specialty breads to create the ideal sandwich through an interactive virtual sandwich builder. Contestants were also asked to tell the story behind their submission and why their entry should be named the next great legendary sandwich.
In addition to national bragging rights, the grand prize winner will take home $10,000 cash, $500 worth of Panera gift cards, free Panera Bread bagels for a year and will have their sandwich on the menu for a limited time at participating Panera Bread stores throughout the United States. The top four runners-up will each receive $1,000 cash and one $150 Panera Bread gift card. The 15 remaining finalists will each win one $150 Panera Bread gift card. "Sandwich Showdown" voting ends Nov. 11.

Gender and Climate Change
Climate change threatens to erode human freedoms and limit choice, and gender inequality intersects with climate risks and vulnerabilities. Women in developing countries have limited access to resources; restricted rights, limited mobility and a muted voice in shaping decisions make them highly vulnerable to climate change. The nature of that vulnerability varies widely, but climate change will magnify existing patterns of inequality, including gender inequality. Women play an important role in supporting households and communities to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Across the developing world, women's leadership in natural resource management is well recognized. For centuries, women have passed on their skills in water management, forest management and the management of biodiversity, among others. Through these experiences, women have acquired valuable knowledge that will allow them to contribute positively to the identification of appropriate adaptation and mitigation techniques, if only they are given the opportunity.

What: Tiger Mountain Vineyards
Where: Tiger,Georgia
Who: John & Martha Ezzard
The Story: In 1995, John and Martha Ezzard, doctor and lawyer respectively, changed their careers and lifestyles to return to John's birthplace, a 100 -acre farm in Rabun County to a piece of land that Martha says "is part of John's soul." People ask if they had always dreamt of having a vineyard, but John says no –they "wanted to save a special piece of earth." Because the land had always been cultivated, they wanted to grow something –so he stumbled upon wine grapes! John and Martha put the first 1,500 plants in the ground with their own two hands in 1995 and then peddled their first wines out of the back of an SUV all over the state. Less than 10 years later, Tiger Mountain Wine has won more than 170 medals, including a double gold and best of class for its Petit Manseng in the Los Angeles International Competition! Their wines are served in top Atlanta restaurants and can be found in Georgia Fresh Markets in Georgia as well as in Metro Atlanta Whole Foods stores.
You can tour the vineyard & taste delicious Tiger Mountain Wine at Tiger Mountain Vineyards in Tiger, Georgia.
Martha's book "The Second Bud," a memoir about planting a wine grape vineyard to save a family farm, will be published by Mercer University Press in the the fall of 2013.

It's a parent's worst nightmare. Your child doesn't come home one evening and is missing for several days.
When a 14-year-old boy from Atlanta disappeared earlier this year, his mother turned to her smartphone for clues using an app called Family Tracker that helped track his location. It is one of several apps that allow parents to track the whereabouts of their children.
"You can see where your loved ones are without having to call or bother them," said Roberto Franceschetti of LogSat, the creators of Family Tracker, with more than 100,000 users and available worldwide.
Parents can track the location of their child on a map, send messages and even activate an alarm on the phone remotely.
"We have an option for the sender to make a very nasty, noisy sound. It's a loud siren, and we repeat that sound every two minutes until the person picks up," he said.
Parents don't need to own a smartphone to track their child. The service is also accessible via the web, as long as the phone that is being tracked is running the app, which is $5-$6 and runs on iPhone or Android devices.
Family Tracker has an additional service that keeps a log of all data generated by the app for a two-week period; the company calls it GPS breadcrumbs. The service was used to find the Atlanta boy.
"With a subscription, we keep all the locations where people have been on our servers. You can see where your kid has been for the past two weeks. You can find out where someone was at a certain time, or when that person was at a specific place," Franceschetti explained. "When somebody gets abducted, usually whoever does this throws the phone away or takes the battery out. We were hoping that our app would at least provide information on where the person was abducted or where they had been in the past — that way the police would have a history or some clues as to who they may have been seeing."
"My advice to any parent is not to be shy about keeping tabs on your children," said the Atlanta boy's mother, who preferred to remain anonymous. "Technology cannot replace proactive communication and healthy parent child relationships but I have found that it is one more tool in a good parent's arsenal."

Freezer Pickles (The Best Ever)
Maybe she doesn't know if she wants sweet or sour. Perhaps she's somewhere in betwixt the two. And one might always wonder if she just loves using the word 'betwixt'.
In any event, ladles and germs, she indeed did get it right this time. The crispiness of the pickle has never been an issue...she nailed that the first year. The seasoning the second year was as close to "let's make a dill" as could be, but when she finally admitted that she hated talking about herself in the third person and got right down to making freezer pickles with ALL the seasonings that the freezer pickle gods use, she finally said "This is it. This is my masterpiece. This is my legacy. This pickles and tickles me and I shall never have to refer to myself as 'she' again." Also, this gives my sister-in-law, Deb, another recipe in which to use turmeric.
Freezer Pickles (for the third and final time... unless I find a better recipe)
5 pounds cucumbers, ends trimmed, unpeeled, thinly sliced
1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
2 cups white vinegar
2 1/4 cups sugar (I used Splenda)
3 TBSP pickling salt
2 tsp celery seed
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp dried dill
2 cloves garlic, minced
Place sliced cucumbers and onions in a large bowl.
In a saucepan, heat the remaining ingredients until well blended. Let cool.
Pour sauce over cucumber/onion mixture and stir. Cover and place in refrigerator for three days, stirring once each day. Place cucumbers into freezer containers and cover with brine. Freeze for up to one year. Thaw before serving.

I grew up with all kinds of home canning and freezing surrounding me but never did we freeze pickles. I take you at your word and if I get an opportunity to get some pickling cukes, I will definitely try for myself!

Tsarnaev Wrote Confession on Wall of Boat: Report
Posted May 16th, 2013 @ 10:01am by Kevin Spak, Newser Staff
(NEWSER) – As he lay wounded in a boat in a Watertown backyard, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev scribbled a note on the vessel's wall claiming culpability for the Boston bombing and explaining his motive, sources tell CBS Newscorrespondent John Miller. Tsarnaev allegedly wrote that the attack was in retaliation for the US invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, and that its victims were collateral damage; he reportedly likened them to Muslims civilians killed by US military action. "When you attack one Muslim, you attack all Muslims," Dzhokhar reportedly wrote in pen.

For the first time in years, Chris Brown and Rihanna arrived at a public event together. They sat together and were semi-cuddily at Tuesday's Los Angeles Lakers-New York Knicks game in L.A.
The two arrived to Staples Center in the same car but got out of the vehicle separately, according to TMZ. This is important news you need to know.
The pair eventually met inside and sat down together in their courtside seats.
The pair hasn't officially announced that they're back together but have shared enough Twitter pictures and other evidence to convince us they're not just friends. As you know, Brown is still on probation after pleading guilty to assaulting Rihanna in 2009. Apparently, she's moved past it.

During much of the previous decade, Mike Volpi was rumored to be CEO-in-waiting at Cisco Systems. But after it became clear John Chambers wasn't going anywhere, Volpi left the networking giant where he'd spent more than a dozen years. These days, he's a tech investor at Index Ventures.
In this week's Elevator Pitch, Volpi looks back on his time at Cisco and weighs in on the future of the mobile industry -- including a possible divorce between Google and Samsung.
Q: How'd you get into this racket?
A: I'd had a very long-standing relationship with Index, which was founded by one of my classmates; he roped me in as an adviser when I was still in my Cisco days. When I left Cisco in 2007, I became CEO of a startup called Joost, which was funded by Index and Sequoia Capital. When that journey ended, I liked what Index had done for me, and I respected their approach to doing venture, so I felt this was a firm I'd like to be part of.
I spent two years in London to get to know the firm's culture, then two years ago I opened a California office along with my partner, Danny Rimer.
Q: What kinds of pitches are you looking for now?
A: I generally concentrate on early stage stuff and enterprise technologies -- everything from my old stomping ground of networking to storage technologies, cloud computing, big data, etc. And increasingly, SaaS and cloud services are the areas I focus on.
I'll also do a few things that are consumer oriented; I have the pleasure of being on the boards of Sonos and SoundCloud. Music is one of my personal passions, and being in the consumer business shows us what the latest and greatest enterprise technologies are. For example, we recently invested in a company called Elasticsearch, because Sonos was using it all the time.
Q: What's the next big thing going to be?
A: There isn't one thing that's going to be big, but there are certain fundamental themes that are impacting almost every industry we're in right now. In the enterprise space, the two big, pervasive themes are mobile and cloud; I still think the "cloudification" of the enterprise is in its early stages. As consumers, we use Dropbox, but enterprises have not really adopted that.
The other is data. In the e-commerce business, you can serve your customers better because you have data about them. Right now, we just think of that as insight -- "I noticed a lot of my customers are buying a certain flavor of toothpaste, so I'll order more." But the whole notion of data-driven enterprises is an enormous theme that we're just scratching the surface of.
Q: What's the biggest mistake entrepreneurs make?
A: The one thing I'd encourage entrepreneurs to think about is the length of the process they're undertaking. Building a company is a six-, seven-, eight-year journey. People think, "I'll start this thing, and I'll exit for $3 billion in six months." That may happen. But you have to hope for the extraordinary outcome and plan for the middle of the road. Whom to hire, whom to partner with, how much money to raise -- a lot of people make those choices in a very short-term context.
Q: You were on the board of Ericsson until last year. Any thoughts on the consolidation we're seeing in the handset industry, with Motorola and Nokia changing hands?
A: Currently there are two real ecosystems: Apple at the high end of the market and on the other pole, the Android thing. Operating systems are only as good as the applications sitting on top of them, and if you're Palm or Microsoft, if you don't have the applications everyone's talking about, you're just not in the game.
The way to think about the Android ecosystem right now is Windows and Intel, which unfortunately puts Motorola, Nokia and others into single-digit market share. So then the question becomes, what's going to happen in that bilateral relationship between Samsung and Google? Having one dominant player in the hardware department wasn't Google's original hope, and for Samsung, not having any ability to control the software it packages is also an uncomfortable place. At some point, it's going to change; exactly how is very hard to predict.
Q: You were once rumored to be the next CEO of Cisco. Are you having more fun as a VC?
A: Look, I love what I'm doing. I'm on 10 boards and it keeps me hopping. I can work with young, early-stage companies and really help them develop. I joined Cisco when it was a small company, and that was the most fun I had there.
I still think of it as my alma mater, but what the company developed into in its later years, a much more established company, wasn't my sweet spot. Big-company management is just not that for me.

Keidel: Tom Brady Suspended... Get Over It, Pats FansTom Brady, New England Patriots quarterback, will be sidelined for four games to start the 2016 NFL season for his part in DeflateGate.
Are The Patriots The Best NFL Team Of This Generation?The New England Patriots, which haven't had a losing season since 2000, always seem to survive and thrive on adversity.

Brady-Manning XVII Is About Much More Than Just The QuarterbacksDespite the marquee names headlining the matchup, the play of the quarterbacks won't be as big of a factor as the performance of the defenses in the AFC Championship game.
Team Grades: Chiefs Miss Many Opportunities In Loss To PatriotsIt all came to an end in Foxborough, MA, for the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday afternoon. The team's 11-game winning streak ended when the offense couldn't score early while the defense struggled to contain the New England Patriots offense and Tom Brady.

The control of the environment around biologics manufacturing has historically been a key consideration for the design and operation of bioprocessing facilities to ensure product quality and safety. Facility design and control considerations for commercial biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes include environmental controls (e.g., temperature, humidity, and pressure), air quality (e.g., particulate and microbiological), facility finishes, gowning and flow procedures, equipment containment, system integrity, and cleaning procedures.
These controls were developed through interpretation of regulatory requirements for both nonsterile and sterile biologics manufacturing decades ago and have been replicated based on successful regulatory precedent. The most common approach taken by the biopharmaceutical industry was to establish a secondary layer of environmental control via the application of area or room air classification. This was in addition to the primary approach of designing and operating contained processes with qualified cleaning, and using sterilization procedures with appropriate microbial and viral controls.
Closed system: A process system with equipment designed and operated such that the product is not exposed to the room environment. Materials may be introduced to a closed system, but the addition must be done in such a way to avoid exposure of the product to the room environment (e.g., by 0.2 µm filtration).
Functionally closed: A process system that may be routinely opened (e.g., to install a filter or make a connection), but is returned to a closed state through a sanitization or sterilization step prior to process use. It is the owner's responsibility to define and validate the sanitization or sterilization process required to return an opened system to a functionally closed system.
Open system: A process system that exposes the product to the room environment. In these systems, the room environment is controlled to minimize the risk of product contamination. For nonsterile, bioburden-controlled processing, open operations are expected to be performed in a classified environment, such as grade C. The process fluid is often filtered for bioburden control within a controlled amount of time after completion of any open process step.
Sanitization: To make sanitary by cleaning and disinfection, but not necessarily sterile. Sanitization reduces viable microorganisms to defined acceptance level. Sanitization can be accomplished by chemical exposure or elevated temperature. Clean-in-place (CIP) procedures may accomplish sanitization, especially CIP procedures that use caustic and hot water rinses (water-for-injection [WFI] or high-purity-water [HPW]). Steam sanitization is a very effective sanitization method and can, if properly designed and validated, achieve sterilization. However, steam is not required for sanitization.
Sterilization: To make free of living microorganisms. In biopharmaceutical processing, sterilization is often accomplished via exposure to saturated steam at temperatures ≥ 121.1° C using a validated sterilization procedure.
Controlled not classified (CNC): A cGMP manufacturing area designed to produce a consistent and controlled environment, but not necessarily monitored to a given environmental classification. CNC is similarly defined by the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE) Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing Facilities Baseline Guide as "a non-classified room environment where closed processes and their immediate support systems may be located. CNC space is cleanable, access controlled, and served with filtered ventilation air. Procedural controls and personnel garment upgrades may be applied at the Owner's discretion" (2).

New Jersey Mayor Defends Decision to Arm School Security
The New Jersey mayor moving ahead with arming police officers in his township's schools defended the decision Monday after an avalanche of responses, some of it critical.
Last week, Marlboro, NJ decided to arm security officers in its nine public schools after Newtown, Conn., school massacre. Local police recommended the measure to boost school security and it was approved for a 3-month trial period by the school board, Marlboro Mayor Jonathan Hornik said. The decision made national news and caused an outcry in some quarters. Hornik said he received many critical emails, mostly from people outside the town.
The move came before the National Rifle Association on Friday recommended that schools across the country employ armed police officers in response to Newtown. The proposal drew harsh criticism from New York education officials and politicians, with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg describing it as a "shameful evasion of the crisis facing our country." Hornik, a Democrat, said his decision wasn't prompted by the NRA and he believes in gun control.
"I've got liberals [mad] at me. I've got the conservatives [mad] by saying the NRA is ridiculous," Hornik said . "I'm not a lunatic, trust me. I'm not someone who can just sit there and hope that our children will be safe in our schools."
"I do not support the NRA," he added.
Marlboro's school resource officers will begin carrying unspecified types of firearms when classes resume for the Monmouth County town on Jan. 2. Until now, the officers had patrolled the schools without guns. They will be trained to work in a school environment and how to respond to emergency situations.
Hornik said the majority of the township of 40,200 residents supports his decision to beef up security.
"This is strictly a security matter to protect our 8,000 students," said Hornik, who has three school-aged children. "My first choice is to get rid of all guns and all the bad people, but that's not happening with a stroke of a pen."
Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican, said Friday that he doesn't support deploying armed police officers across state schools.
Marlboro is also considering upping the number of school security cameras and other capital improvements that could increase safety. Hornik didn't immediately know how much the extra policing will add to the township's $80 million school budget, but said it wasn't "prohibitively expensive."

They say it's the best place to stay during Masters Week, and they say they meet the best people.
News 12's Kristen Cosby went to Ray's Creek RV Park to learn about the advantages of taking your home on the road.
Most Masters patrons stay in a hotel or rent a house...but some people come in their RV's, and they say this is the way to stay.
"Welcome to our home on wheels," says Bob Peterson of Arkansas.
Ask anyone in this community and they'll tell you this is the way to travel.
"The driver and passenger chairs rotate around," explains Kermit Cummings of Texas.
"It's got chicken salad," Peterson says.
"You get to sleep in your own bed and make coffee anytime you want to day or night," says Vita "Doodles" Woodward of North Carolina.
They say it's cheaper than flying, staying in a hotel and eating out.
But the gas does get expensive.
"We try not to think about that," Cummings says.
"If you wait until it gets reasonably empty you're pulling out a C note letting go," says Peterson.
But for these people--from Arkansas, Texas and North Carolina--the best thing about traveling in an RV is the friends they've met.
This group has parked next to each other for six years.
"Doodles" lost her husband Fred and counts on the group of RV-ers as her new Masters family.
"I absolutely knew that Fred expected me to come back to the Masters because he came for 50 years and it's a gift I can't let go of," she says.
A family that found each other through a game...and created a life.
"We see each other once a year, but we're still together," Woodward says.
This group plans to return next year, and there are extra spots...so next year you might want to consider a home on wheels.

Officers have reached a possible roadblock in their investigation into who took confidential documents from Evans Middle School.
They started tracking down people of interest today, but they aren't sure if there are legal grounds to make an arrest.
Officers suspect kids found confidential information with addresses and social security numbers inside the old Evans Middle School building. The children could be charged with burglary and breaking and entering for taking private documents from a school.
But this case has a lot of complications.
The sheriff's office is trying to find out how kids could have found Evans Middle School students' private information.
"We're not really focusing on any individual or groups of individuals," says Capt. Steve Morris of the Columbia County Sheriff's Office. "We're starting from scratch, level one, and working from there."
Capt. Morris says that includes the two mothers who say their children found the papers inside the empty school, possibly in trash bags on the eighth grade hall. School board chairman Wayne Bridges says the kids still had no business taking the documents.
"It's still the property of somebody," Bridges says. "We all throw things in our personal trashcans we wouldn't want somebody to get."
But the old school is in the process of changing ownership, so officers aren't sure if the suspects can be charged with breaking and entering. Another issue is whether they committed burglary by taking papers out of the trash.
Morris says finding the answers could take time.
"We're going to interview anyone and everyone with info about the case," he says.
The incident report shows the parents turned in a teacher roster and an old school directory Thursday. But the report shows someone gave other documents with social security information for about 40 students to a member of the media, who gave them to the system on Tuesday.
"If you find something and your intent is to be helpful and turn it in, that's one thing," Bridges says. "If your intent is to embarrass and give the system a black eye, we're going to find out and do what we have to do."
Now, officers are investigating that intent, and they're trying to figure out if the people who took the documents committed a crime.
The school board says they will start to notify parents today if their children's social security numbers were on the list turned in yesterday.
The sheriff's office says they will investigate any possibilities of identity fraud.
There was some discussion at last night's board meeting about why confidential papers were in the trash in the first place.
Superintendent Price says most records are now electronic, so those hard copies should have been shredded. He also says the school system should have done a better job checking the building after they moved.

Canada, 2011, 78 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Family Issues, Latino, Medical/Health, Social Issues, Student
Program: DocumentaryLanguage: Spanish, English English Sub-Titles
When filmmaker Carlo Guillermo Proto learned that his 58-year-old father, Gustavo, was pursuing medical treatment for Alzheimer's disease, he began a journey to document this passage and its effect on his family. Gustavo immigrated to Canada from Chile to give his family a better life. But misery is written all over him, a lifelong affliction that has little to do with the cold, gray tones of a wintry Toronto. His mother's death from Alzheimer's haunts him, as does his father's gruesome suicide. Gustavo has spoken often over the years about ending his own life, and the prospect of dementia seems to give him motivation to follow through on that threat. He says he doesn't want to be a burden to his family, yet his ambivalence about life has burdened them for years. After several unproductive family arguments, Carlo finally confronts his father on a family trip to Chile, shifting the potential of terrible loss into a moment of intense courage and love.
A poetic, deeply felt film, El Huaso finds lightness in Gustavo's close relationship with his grandson, and in a solo return to Chile. In part, this is a rehearsal for the family to experience living without him, but instead he rekindles old joys, specifically riding as a huaso, or cowboy, in a rodeo. The mere acts of touching and saddling the horse, and riding expertly—these things bring out Gustavo's rare smiles.
This moving meditation on love and death was chosen for the 2012 Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, North America's largest. El Huaso was made with support in part from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's documentary channel.

Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
Few things are more terrifying to a seagoing captain than the specter of mutiny or more riveting to readers than a tale of mutinous deeds. In this fascinating book, Leonard Guttridge takes us on a tour of mutinies that have occurred over the past two hundred years. He examines such famous mutinies as the uprisings aboard the Bounty and the Potemkin, the racial disturbances on the Constellation, the rebellion at the Nore, and the hijacking of the Storozhevoy, along with some not-so-famous insurrections that fill his book with suspense and colorful characters to bring the dramatic events to life.
Throughout his investigation, Guttridge asks what these incidents, occurring in vastly different navies and different ages, have in common. His findings are both startling and illuminating. First published in 1986, this book is lauded as a unique study of law, discipline, and morale as they interact as sea. Alternately exciting our horror and arousing our sympathy, its meticulous attention to detail and historical accuracy assures its lasting appeal not only to the naval and legal communities but also to readers looking for entertaining nonfiction.
Leonard F. Guttridge is the author of numerous books, including the widely acclaimed Icebound: The Jeannette Expedition's Quest for the North Pole. He died in 2009 at the age of 90.

Bill Miller | October 9, 2007

A soon-to-be-released UN report says runaway economic growth has pushed greenhouse-gas emissions to dangerous levels much faster than previously estimated and, instead of reaching the threshold within a decade, it was actually crossed two years ago.
The findings will highlight the perils of giving economic growth priority over efforts to curtail global warming.
The final report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change will show that growing economies herald growing greenhouse gas emissions and the result has been a growing threat of global warming, says scientist and Australian of the Year conservationist Tim Flannery.
''We thought we'd be at that threshold within about a decade,'' Flannery told ABC. ''We thought we had that much time, but the new data indicates that in about mid-2005, we crossed that threshold.''
Flannery's comments came just days after Canada and the U.S. both advocated a voluntary approach to limit greenhouse gases instead of strict international agreements to curb emissions. Neither President Bush nor Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper wants to cap emissions because they fear it would stifle economic growth.
They are right, of course, but that's exactly what must happen.
As Flannery has observed: ''We've had growing economies everywhere. We're still basing that economic activity on fossil fuels. You know, the metabolism of that economy is now on a collision course with our planet, clearly."
The IPCC's Synthesis Report (also known as the Fourth Assessment Report) will be released on November 7, 2007. The Report brings together the core information of the previous three volumes released earlier this year, to create "the most policy-relevant scientific document on climate change for the years to come."

I am referring
to climate science and what has happened very rapidly in that field during the last few years. Nordic and Japanese villages being wiped out may be historical fact, but I remain sceptical. How these "facts" fit in to the Big Picture is another matter altogether. I'm an historian and I know something about how facts can be interpreted differently as the context in which they are perceived adjusts according to changing knowledge.
The science of climate change has been making huge strides at an accelerated rate, as the collected knowledge generates new lines of enquiry. You seem determined to stick to your position on the basis of some geography courses in college, rather than looking into specialized research in the specific discipline of climate science.
I am left wondering who are you anyway?

The point of this, which is
The point of this, which is clearly being lost is that with the cyclical patterns of the Earth it makes sense that a cooling period leads to a period of warming.
You and others, seem to insist that i am not willing to admit that global warming is an issue when i have time and again said i am just waiting for more facts. I have not stuck to my position nearly as forcefully as yourself and others here.
I am merely trying to say that i doubt i am 100% correct and i doubt you are 100% correct and I am trying to reach a middle ground where i am sure the answer is closer. I am merely questioning and in question we find answers or learn the right questions to ask. It is through questioning that we have found that old beliefs are false (such as the electron orbit) and discovered new postulates (electron cloud).
No one here can see the ultimate picture because it is so infinitly vast, so why are we trying to quibble over my simple questions.h
I provided you with a link
In two different places I provided you with a link describing the role of water vapour in global warming. Did you read it? Did you understand it?
And how about if you back up your statements with links showing where you get your information, or if it's from a book, tell us the title, author and page number. You can't spout just any old crap and expect to be taken seriously. You should have learned in college how to do research and how to cite your sources.
If all you can do is say it's all too big for you to understand, why are you bothering to say anything at all? And spare us the nonsense about it maybe only being a natural cycle: it's not. We are causing it.
…Climate scientists have now seen the man-made fingerprint of global warming on 10 different aspects of Earth's environment: surface temperatures, humidity, water vapour over the oceans, barometric pressure, total precipitation, wildfires, change in species of plants and animals, water run-off, temperatures in the upper atmosphere and heat content in the world's oceans…
We have suggested several sources where you can find solid scientific information about climate change. There are answers for your "simple questions" but you aren't going to find them in college geography textbooks or at Wikipedia. The discussion has gone far beyond this level.

Oh CRAP !!!!
Well, it looks like things are getting out of hand. While we continue to make feeble attempts at changing the way we "consume", the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has continued to rise.
What's really scary about this is that these numbers are two years old.
We've been going all out, balls to the wall, to "grow" the economy at the expense of the eco-system.
Well, two years ago we may have passed the first point of no return.
Have we passed yet another point of no return since then?
Talking about voluntary emission caps is a useless waste of time.
It may already be to late!
Stop the warming!

i think monbiots latest
i think monbiots latest article summed up the problem well…
"On Sunday I visited the only UN biosphere reserve in Wales: the Dyfi estuary. As is usual at weekends, several hundred people had come to enjoy its beauty and tranquillity and, as is usual, two or three people on jet skis were spoiling it for everyone else. Most economists will tell us that human welfare is best served by multiplying the number of jet skis. If there are two in the estuary today, there should be four there by this time next year and eight the year after. Because the estuary's beauty and tranquillity don't figure in the national accounts (no one pays to watch the sunset) and because the sale and use of jet skis does, this is deemed an improvement in human welfare."

I agree completely.
As long as we only focus on the economy we will continue to destroy everything else that stands in the way of "prosperity". cyb3r_ph4ntom.

Here's the link:
They think he got his information from leaked drafts of the report, and that he is wrong about it.
45 comments down the page,
someone is finally addressing the point of the article!
I agree he has probably gone over the edge on this one. Given Australia's reluctance to support mandatory caps and a regulatory approach, etc., it's easy to see why Flannery might try to oversell the implications, but ultimately it doesn't help to give the deniers something to point at.
Still, I began to wonder years ago whether, if you roll together the issues of AGW, overpopulation, other forms of pollution and devastation of habitats, we've probably already passed SOME kind of tipping point ages ago! But that's not science, that's intuition. It's also what happens when you try to think too hard before your first cup of coffee …

Christie Raises Record Sum Amid Inquiry
The scandal dogging New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie hasn't noticeably dented his ability to raise money for fellow Republicans.
The Republican Governors Association announced Tuesday that the group raised $6 million in January, doubling its haul from past Januaries, despite revelations tying the staff of its chairman, Mr. Christie, to a days-long traffic snarl near the George Washington Bridge.
The New Jersey governor collected an additional $1.5 million during a trip to Texas last week, according to RGA spokeswoman Gail Gitcho.
Mr. Christie is in Illinois on Tuesday to raise more money for Republican governors. His itinerary includes a rare public appearance at the Economic Club of Chicago, where he is expected to field questions for the first time in more than a month.

- Donald Trump Stumps in New Jersey for Chris Christie

- Christie Campaign Strategist Ken McKay to Advise Donald Trump
- Chris Christie Rejoins Donald Trump for Indiana Trip
Mr. Christie and his team are eager to project strength as opponents and some supporters question his ability to run for president in 2016, or lead the RGA while official inquiries into the bridge scandal are underway. This latest fundraising total will help them make his case.
At the same time, fellow Republicans remain reluctant to appear with the well-known New Jersey governor. The biggest thing missing from Mr. Christie's latest fundraising trips might be actual candidates.
In Florida last month, Mr. Christie never appeared publicly with the state's GOP governor, Rick Scott, who faces a tough re-election in the fall. In Texas, the likely Republican nominee avoided Mr. Christie entirely during his trip last week to raise money in the Lone Star state. And none of the Republicans running in Illinois are slated to appear with the RGA chairman during his trip to Chicago.
Democrats, of course, will be on hand. Former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland will headline a press conference Tuesday morning in an ongoing effort to link Republican candidates to Mr. Christie.
The New Jersey governor's next stops include Massachusetts, Utah, Georgia, Connecticut and Michigan. In Georgia, Republican Gov. Nathan Deal is facing his own traffic-related controversy after an unusually large snowfall left drivers stranded and brought Atlanta to a standstill.
The RGA ended 2013 with $50 million in the bank and will need the money to protect seats the party picked up during the Republican wave in 2010.
For all of 2013, the RGA significantly outraised the Democratic Governors Association— $50.3 million to $28 million.

Bengals take S Shawn Williams in 3rd round
The Bengals chose safety Shawn Williams from Georgia in the third round of the NFL draft.
Cincinnati has been trying to shore up the position for several years. Williams was the second defensive player taken by the Bengals.
The Bengals opened their draft by taking Notre Dame tight end Tyler Eifert in the first round. They had two picks in the second round and went with running back Giovani Bernard from North Carolina and defensive end Margus Hunt, a track and field star-turned-football player from Estonia and SMU.
Also Friday, the Bengals agreed to a three-year deal with right tackle Andre Smith, who had been an unrestricted free agent. The deal allows Cincinnati to return its offense intact from last season.

Emtek is dedicated to bringing interesting, well made hardware back into American homes. Until about 1930 there was a proud history of hardware in America. Hundreds of small factories made an enormous variety of creatively designed products. Craftsmen from many disciplines devoted their energies to making locks that provided both function and beauty. Unfortunately, during the depression many of these factories failed, and then during WWII brass became scarce and lock designs were reduced to the bare essentials. In more recent years the emphasis on cheap, high volume building products has discouraged manufacturers from re-introducing well made hardware. But now these ideas are changing, Americans are re-discovering the satisfaction that comes from owning well designed products. Emtek's mission is to make it possible for home owners to apply these higher expectations to door locks. We are striving to provide a broad, interesting range of products that consumers can use as elements of decor, not just as a way to latch a door.

WAVERLY - Hundreds of cemeteries dot the region and most people laid to rest in the last 25 to 30 years have been interred in a vault made at Carr Concrete in Waverly.
Carr Concrete has the Wilbert vault franchise and produces 1,800 vaults a year, working with more than 1,300 cemeteries from Caldwell to Spencer, said James Binegar, operations manager for the company.
"If somebody is passed away and it's your family member and you want it to be the best product you can get, that's what we try to provide," he said.

James Binegar, operations manager at Carr Concrete, displays burial vaults made by the company at its Waverly facility.
Concrete vaults were how the company got its start when Steve and Rodney Carr purchased the local Wilbert franchise more than 30 years ago, said Steve Offenberger, with the company.
Vaults are required by most cemeteries, but that wasn't always the case, said John Hadley, funeral director at Hadley Funeral Home in Marietta. Previously, caskets were buried in pine boxes that didn't hold up well when additional weight was placed on them after they had soaked up moisture from the ground.
"They used to tell you never walk on a grave," Hadley said. "As a kid, you thought that was out of respect."
But actually, if someone walked on ground where a person had been interred, the body weight could make the wooden lid on what was called a rough box break and the dirt fall down around it, Hadley said.
"You could break your leg," he said.
Vaults, generally made of concrete though steel is used for areas of high terrain where concrete can't be easily transported, provide sturdier support, especially with many cemeteries mowed by tractors, Hadley said.
Vaults made by Carr makes weigh anywhere from 1,800 to 3,000 pounds depending on the type chosen, Binegar said. They are at least 2 inches thick, but can be lined with additional materials to make them sturdier or waterproof. The largest vault Carr offers is 34 inches tall, 92 inches long and 36 inches wide.
They can be personalized in various ways with nameplates and decorative touches, like a cameo rose or military emblems for veterans.
Making vaults isn't the only thing Carr has to do with funerals.
"We do the tent setting and set the chairs and everything," Binegar said. "We do everything but dig the grave."
That usually happens the day before the funeral, and a Carr employee places the vault in the grave the day of, prior to the service. Because a truck could not reach many of the actual grave sites, the vaults are transported on a self-propelled Logan trailer.
A Carr employee often serves as the funeral director's contact at the cemetery that day, notifying them of any potential problems with the site, guiding the hearse and placing the casket on the lowering device.
Binegar said in many ways making burial vaults is similar to other Carr projects - there are standards they have to follow. But being on-site for a funeral is another matter.
"It took a long time to get used to," Binegar said. "But it's a service that has to be done, and the people we have here care how they do their work."
The Carr plant employs 80 people, two of whom are dedicated to vault and burial work. Other employees rotate that duty, depending on how many funerals are going on in a day.
Hadley said another vault franchise had a site in Marietta more than 20 years ago. Today, the closest one is the Hupp Stiverson Co., another Wilbert dealer, located in Zanesville. They cover Columbus and do some work in Beverly, having had an agreement with a funeral home there before Carr was in operation.

Seib & Wessel: What We're Reading Tuesday
By Gerald F. Seib and David Wessel
Recommended reading from around the Web:
Those who have attempted to rule Egypt in the wake of former President Hosni Mubarak seem to be in a contest to see who can do the worst job, writes H.A. Hellyer (@hahellyer), and the failings of the current military rulers are best illustrated by their enforcement of a controversial law against even peaceful protests. [Al Arabiya News]
George Washington University's Marc Lynch (@abuaardvark) writes that the deal reached in Geneva with Iran, like the Camp David accord (which successfully led to peace between Israel and Egypt) and the Oslo accord (which failed to produce peace between Israel and Palestine), is only an interim agreement that leaves a vast array of big issues unresolved and offers a million opportunities for failure. "We should," he says, "learn the lessons of Oslo and hold on to Camp David as proof that success is possible and worth pursuing." [Foreign Policy]
Janet Hook (@hookjan) writes that the ability of Democrats to hold onto control of the Senate in next year's elections turns largely on the fate of a handful of senators seeking re-election in the South, including Arkansas' Mark Pryor. Three of the four most vulnerable Democrats are from the region. [WSJ]
Howie Kurtz says Chris Christie, so far, has been masterful at engaging the media, both in New Jersey and nationally, and reporters find covering the likely 2016 candidate entertaining. But, he warns, "the more he's sparring with reporters, the greater the chance that he will say something dumb, creating a YouTube moment that he wouldn't want on his channel." [Fox News]
Henry Aaron and Harold Pollack (@haroldpollack), longtime students of the health care system, say a shift to a single-payer health plan, popular with some on the left, "would have been far messier'" and even more disruptive than the Affordable Care Act has proven to be. They warn liberals who are reluctant to defend the ACA that if it fails, hopes for universal coverage will be set back a generation. [New Republic]
With Amazon unveiling prototype drones that it proposes to use to deliver packages, and thereby raising a host of questions about how their use might be regulated and regularized, it's worth looking back at this March Brookings paper recounting the similar path society took to getting its arms around a similar technological breakthrough, the automobile. [Brookings]
At around one-tenth the cost of a typical AA battery, a battery made from a potato — yes, a potato — could supply power for cellphone and other personal electronics in poor, underdeveloped and remote regions without access to a power grid, Hebrew University says. But they're having trouble attracting investors to finance and distribute prototypes. [Smithsonian]
Brooke Jarvis (@brookejarvis) investigates inmate firefighter crews—tough, dangerous work that can pay 62 cents an hour, but that many prisoners say breaks the monotony and makes them feel part of society again. "If you see a fire in California, you're going to see people in orange," says one fire chief. [Al Jazeera America]

Minor milestones we've spotted:
The number of federally insured banks in the U.S. (6,891) is below 7,000 for the first time since regulators began keeping track in 1934. [WSJ]
China's yuan has passed the euro as the second most used currency in trade finance. [Bloomberg]
The results from the 2012 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) show that teenagers in the U.S. slipped from 25th to 31st in math since 2009; from 20th to 24th in science; and from 11th to 21st in reading. [WSJ]
Some 37% of Americans under 30 said they are not familiar with the Affordable Care Act, a Gallup poll found. Among Republicans, 12% said they were not familiar, while 34% of Democrats said the same. [Gallup]
Half of Brazil's poorest slums have Internet access and 85% of the users have a Facebook page. [El Pais]
Energy companies are expected to use 56.3 billion pounds of sand this year, blasting it down oil and natural gas wells to help crack rocks so flow can flow. Sand use has increased 25% since 2011. [WSJ]
Deaths per billion passenger miles in the U.S.: cars: 7.28; trains: 0.43; buses: 0.11, airplanes: 0.07. [Time]

"24: Live Another Day" (8 p.m., Fox): Jack's back! Four years after receiving his cancellation notice, tightly coiled action hero Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) returns for another round of pulse-pounding, nail-biting TV comfort food.

I've been thinking lately about a classic battle between two vicious animals.What would happen if an enraged chimp went up against a trained pit bull? Neither animal feels fear or inhibition or mercy. You've heard about the recent chimp attacks against humans. With the strength and fury of 10 men, the chimps ripped off faces, gouged out eyes, chewed off complete hands, left their victims a sad, mutilated mess. When one human victim of a chimp attack went on Oprah recently, she had to wear a veil to cover what once was a face.And what about the awesome strength and brutality of a pit bull? They don't let go. They will rip to shreds a helpless five year old baby. These dogs are so fierce they should put them in zoos, with a sign that reads, "These monsters used to roam the streets."Lest you think I'm cruel imagining what these two animals might do to each other, think of the movie King Kong. Didn't that pit a gorilla against a dinosaur? That was an awesome fight. Why can't I wonder about a good match like this one? I'd like to imagine that the chimp might win against the bull. However, I don't know. Would you like to see this fight? What if it featured the most fearsome of each species? How much would you pay to watch. What would happen, do you think?
Would it change matters if it was a trained chimp against an enraged pitbull?Like a Nun on the Run, I'm terrible fun.
I'd put my money on chimp. Thumbs and intelligence win."OK, I quit. You win. Last post. The end. Goodbye." - Stu, 1 October 2007
Picture it: two magnificent creatures, both magnificent murderers, at the top of their game. It's a matter of pride among both animals, which one is most vicious, most talented at tearing the other apart. Believe me, both beasts are experts at tearing others apart. Let 'em go at each other. This could be a great sport. I don't feel sorry for them. I don't think either can feel pain!
I agree that the Chimp would win because of intelligence too. Also the Chimp has the advanatge that it can climb and swing around and possible drop objects on the dog.TWAT.
So you're saying intelligence wins against a pit bull? I don't know about that. I think it'd be a great war. If I had to bet $1,000, I'd put it on the pit bull. The little "street thug" would clamp down and not even a Haitian earthquake would persuade it to release.
Where exactly is this fight taking place? That could have a big impact on the outcome. The forest? The pleasant grasslands? Asda carpark?Like a Nun on the Run, I'm terrible fun.
In a large cage.
The strength and cunning fighting of the chimp would provide victory. On a related matter, I recently read about a confrontation between a pitbull (one of my least liked animals) and one of my favourites (the Tasmanian Tiger or Thylacine) having just returned from Tasmania. This is apparently what happened when one of the best domesticated fighting dogs from the northern hemisphere faced the marsupial dog from the south: "A bull-terrier once set upon a wolf (thylacine) and bailed it up in a niche in some rocks. There the wolf stood, with its back to the wall, turning its head from side to side, checking the terrier as it tried to butt in from alternate and opposite directions. Finally, the dog came in close, and the wolf gave one sharp, fox-like bite, tearing a piece of the dog's skull clean off, and it fell with the brain protruding, dead." ~ Hugh Mackay (quoted by Le Souef and Burrell 1926)Tasmanian Tiger (Thylacine).....as evidenced here, the jaws of this animal could crush skulls. Likewise, it's nearest living relative - the Tasmanian Devil - has the strongest bite of any mammal alive today (about 10 times the psi [pounds per square inch] of the most powerful canines). Even though the Tassie devil is shy and quite small, it is suspected it would even have the advantage over a dingo in a one to one....Tasmanian DevilRichard Kingsmill (Triple J FM): "Do you mind if we throw to a song by your old man?. Duncan Jones (Bowie's Son): "Oh God ... if you have to ... OK ... but have a look at Nick Armstrong and The Thieves"
It's very sad the Tasmanian Tiger is extinct, especially since the last one in captivity died of neglect, locked out of its shelter during a freezing night. I wish there were at least several left; we could fight one against a pit bull and see what happens. It would be fun to see a monstrous thug get its ass beat.

Mounted patrols from the Carolinas are getting certified this week in Aiken. News 12 is on your side with how this training is keeping you safe.
From crowd control to cuffing the culprit, eight mounted units from the Carolinas are preparing officer and horse for whatever might happen.
This is the Mounted Patrols' annual certification. For the first time it's in Aiken County. Dennis Ayres is the instructor.
"A trained police officer and a trained horse is an asset, otherwise it can be a liability," Ayres said.
Aiken County's units are training to be that asset. The sheriff's office has a seven-member reserve patrol. Aiken Public Safety has two full-time mounted officers.
"We can look over the parking lot, but as well the criminals can see us also," Cpl. Sonny Ford said.
Cpl. Sonny Ford patrols everything from the mall to the annual lobster race.
Ford's horse pops up at high school football games, too. Adding a horse to those cut crime.
"We were having car break-ins. We put the horses out there and they all dried up," Ford said.
A horse's mobility is to thank for such success.
"On a horse your eyes can wander. If you're on a motorcycle or bicycle or cruiser you gotta give full time to operating," Ayres said.
Another reason horses are a help is because they're cute and people come up to them, and that can be a powerful crime-fighting tool.
"People will walk up to you and talk to you on a horse versus in a car with the window rolled up and air conditioning on," Ford said.
And that connection provides needed tips.
A shout out for safety in the saddle.

Hi All ,
I was a formely user from mediatomb to provide dlna server to my philips FPL6007 TV . I have tried the PSM and that is quite amazing . Now I am trying to change the default codec from AC3 to MP2 because some of my video files are DUAL audio and when the transcode select the first audio channel ( aid 0 ) there is no sound . Using the second audio channel ( aid 1 ) is working fine . Since I have doing transcoding with mencoder at Mediatomb using the MP2 instead the default AC3 used in pms , I suspect that I can solve my problem forcing the psm use mp2 instead AC3 .
But I can't find where I should change it . I using command line only at linux . No X is available .
thanks in Advanced
