Thermal imaging, high-powered torches track Cumbria homeless
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing
thermal homeless
Thermal imaging and high-powered torches have been used by the Cumbria fire brigade to track rough sleepers in Kendal and give them a useful information pack.
Areas searched included the back of Asda Supermarket.
"We were able to use our thermal imaging cameras and high-powered torches to help to survey some identified hot spot areas where it is known people have been rough sleeping in the past," said Steve Healey, from the Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service.
One person was found sleeping rough.
South Lakeland District Council joined forces with the fire service, Cumbria Constabulary, and the North West Ambulance Service to spend the night helping those sleeping rough.
Three teams searched locations in and around Kendal. If someone was found sleeping rough they were given an information pack outlining the help available to them and how to go about accessing it.
"Finding just one person sleeping rough was considered a real success, though finding even one person living rough in the area is one person too many," said Charlie Anderson, SLDC's Principal Housing Solutions Officer. "We will be able to accommodate anyone sleeping rough if only they approach us."
SLDC deputy leader Clare Feeney-Johnson, part of the search teams, said "it was a bitterly cold night."
He added: "It gave you an idea of how hard it must be if you end up on the streets. We were all lucky because we could go home after the search but there are people who face this night after night."
The searches are expected to be extended to other parts of South Lakeland. The initiative forms part of the Nationwide No Second Night Out scheme that aims to prevent and tackle rough sleeping amongst single people.

The Swun Math Model
Mission: The mission of SWUN Math is to work in partnership with all stakeholders in educating students, parents, teachers, and administration to increase student achievement in mathematics so these students become the highest performers in mathematics across the world.
Vision: The vision of SWUN Math is to work side-by-side with district teachers and administrators to build their understanding and use of mathematical practices such that students are prepared to excel in the Common Core mathematics standards.
Common Core
The Swun Math Lesson Design carefully matches the eight required shifts in the Standards of Mathematical Practice, and inherently includes a gradual release of responsibility to students. Central to our instructional approach is the belief that, in addition to performing accurate calculations, students must also be able to articulate their math reasoning in order to achieve true mastery of the content standards. To that end, students rely on teachers to provide ample opportunities for successful computational practice and the development of procedural fluency. In addition, teachers must provide explicit instruction for students to develop proficiency with math vocabulary and fluency with the language needed to explain their thinking.

2010 State Of Education Address
"It turns out that one math instructor, named Si Swun designed his own standards-aligned math curriculum, called Map 2D, which was making headway with students. Based on these results, the school expanded this same curriculum to other classes."
Jack O'Connell, California State Superintendent
Oakland Unified
The Swun Math Program helped to narrow the achievement gap between African American/Latino students and Asian students by promoting more African American and Latino students into the proficient/advanced performance levels.

PWPB2012: Transportation in flyover country
|Grand Rapids MN: the chair for he who is first among pedestrians–Paul Bunyan
- I didn't really grow up in a haystack; like most people in rural America, I grew up in a city. Most cities that survive were laid out by the railroads on a grid pattern, making for very walkable neighborhoods and downtowns. Longer trips–say you want to go from the Bass Pro Shop on the east end of town, to the Red Lobster on the west end–can be made in about 15 minutes… in traffic. Biking that distance is not a stretch–especially when most roads have wide shoulders and little traffic.
- Economics. Everyone feels the pinch of $4/gallon gasoline, but those in rural America, where incomes are lower, feel it first. Their response: drive a little less, complain a little more, and get on with life.
|Long winters spent dreaming about riding may explain this creation hanging on the wall of Island Park Cycles in Fargo ND. It'll do 45 on the flats without a tailwind. Who needs a complete street when you can keep up with the cars?
The data demonstrate unequivocally that walking and biking are woven into the fabric of rural life. Communities beyond urban centers are ambitiously pursuing and enjoying the benefits of the trails, sidewalks, and road improvements that enable safe and convenient active transportation. Who are these communities? What roles do walking and bicycling play in the small town and rural setting? How is the disproportionate impact of the obesity epidemic in rural areas related? Understanding these stories is an important part of educating decision-makers in a persuasive way about the role walking and bicycling play in the lives of their constituents and neighbors.

LAHORE: An influential Pakistani religious leader vowed yesterday to press ahead with a mass protest march on the capital to demand key reforms before looming elections.
"No one should harbour any doubt, there will be march, as scheduled, on time," Tahir-ul Qadri, 61, told a news conference in the eastern city of Lahore.
He leads a moderate Islamic group that has thousands of followers in Pakistan and abroad, and has recently returned from several years spent living in Canada.
The government says the Taliban are planning to attack the march and that protesters will be barred from the centre of Islamabad.
"I am not scared of death, I will convene members of my family tonight and convey my last will, to tell them what they should do if I am assassinated," Qadri hit back.
"Let them seal Islamabad, we will open our routes."
Qadri accuses the government of being corrupt and incompetent, and argues that Pakistan must enact "meaningful" reforms before general elections, which are scheduled to be held within eight weeks after parliament disbands in mid-March.
It remains unclear how many people will join the march from Lahore to Islamabad, a journey of 300km.
Organisers say they will leave on Sunday and travel slowly, stopping at villages en route.
The Muttahida Qaumi Movement, which is part of the coalition government, has bowed out of the march, citing "serious security threats" after suicide bombers killed 92 people in the southwestern city of Quetta on Thursday.
Interior Minister Rehman Malik has called Qadri's march a "conspiracy to destabilise the government".
Media reports have suggested that Qadri is being used by foreign intelligence agencies and the army in a bid to delay the elections, for which no date has been set.
Qadri delivered a speech to tens of thousands of followers in Lahore on December 23, giving the government until January 10 to initiate reforms, claiming that the necessary "amendments" need only take a few months to enact.
He says Pakistan's political and economic system has collapsed because it revolves around wealthy, landed aristocrats, and industrialists, and prevents honest people from being elected.

I just did a post on my blog about trying to figure out who my picker was for my grapes. But I also think about how many wonderful things I've purchased at Farmer's markets and how rarely I get decent contact information from the wonderful growers. I remember getting a great concoction in a nice glass jar and keeping the jar around for weeks to return it, but eventually giving up because I never seemed to find the same grower.
I think growers are unwilling to "push" their other products on buyers, but honestly, we don't know you have something if it's not on the table in front of us. So if you have other things to offer, at least put up a sign and give us a chance to say no. And, dare I say it, business cards with contact information, or even a stamp on paper bags giving us a phone number, wouldn't be too pushy. Sometimes we just can't find you again.

What Causes a Brain Infection?
Patient Comment Read 1 Comment
Causes of bacterial meningitis: Three types of bacteria are the most common causes of meningitis in all age groups except newborns:
The introduction of Hib vaccine as part of routine pediatric immunization has significantly reduced the occurrence of serious Hib disease. Newborns are usually infected with coliform bacteria (bacteria in the gut, contracted at birth) such as Escherichia coli or Listeria.

D5000 ISO question
The D5000 manual says that using a slower ISO than 200 (Lo.3, Lo.6 or Lo1) may cause images to be contrasty. However, most magazines I read say 100 is the optimum sensitivity to use. Will active D lighting compensate the contrast produced by a slow ISO or should I stick to ISO 200?
#1. "RE: D5000 ISO question" | In response to Reply # 0snapsh0t Registered since 30th Aug 2009Wed 14-Oct-09 04:12 AM
The optimum ISO is the the sensor's 'native' one which is 200 for Nikon's 12MP sensor and I'm really not sure what advantage is gained by using a slower rating.
#2. "RE: D5000 ISO question" | In response to Reply # 0blw Nikonian since 18th Jun 2004Thu 15-Oct-09 04:29 PM
> most magazines I read say 100 is the optimum sensitivity to use
The optimum sensitivity is always the camera's "base" ISO, which in the case of the D5000 is 200. In the case of a camera such as the D2x, the base ISO is 100.
Nikon label it Lo1 not ISO 100 since it does not produce the same thing as a sensor of ISO 100 - in particular, the contrast will appear different. However, in the case of the Lo settings, this is generally pretty minimal difference from calibration. If you go into the high ISO settings, such as Hi-2, you'll find a fairly drastic loss of contrast, as well as a lot of noise.

Hi Keith,
Welcome to Nikonians!
The magazines are making a generalized statement. In fact shooting at the cameras native or base ISO setting will provide the optimum IQ and dynamic range. The base setting of your D5000 is ISO 200 so stick to ISO 200 when possible.
Good Luck and Enjoy your Nikons!
Best Regards,

Face Reading
Mountaineering isn't for everyone
Cultivating Qi: An Introduction to Chinese Body-Mind Energetics
Diagram of the Ear
Chinese doctors have used the ancient art of face reading since the time of Confucius as an aid to diagnosis and a way of helping their patients. Close observation of the face afforded them a deep knowledge of the personality of their patients.
There were also professional face readers during this time that combined the roles of priest, astrologer and counselor. They were well-educated men with great compassion for human frailty. The Chinese understood the concept that the face represents the energies, health and fortune of a person and they wished to live in harmony with these, and with the prevailing energies of the five elements, yin and yang, and the seasons. This wisdom has seen a huge resurgence in the West during the past 20 years with the growth of acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, Feng Shui and Qi Gong.
Chinese face reading is as relevant today as it was in the past and its use is cross-cultural. We all have a blend of elements and all faces reflect part of nature pattern. Face reading first appeared in China during the 6th century BC, possibly as the specialty of magic men not affiliated to any religion. It is thought that they were probably Taoist shamans from rural areas such as Szechwan who specialized in non-traditional deviational arts. By 220 BC, the art of face reading was established in Chinese life and classic treatises, such as the Golden Scissors and Bamboo Chronicles, were written at this time.
The Principles of Face Reading:
Each face is a map of the past, present and future. The past would be described as our inherited constitution, our mother's pregnancy, our childhood and adolescence, with either difficulties or support in the family, and our early years as we start out in the world. The present reflects our health at the time of the reading. This is something we create ourselves. Coco Chanel said: Inappropriate diet, persistent negative emotions, drugs, toxins and stress all contribute to lines, congestion, and colors on the face. The facial zones affected are related to the internal organs under stress. In the same way that the feet are a microcosm of the whole in Reflexology, so the face shows the inner health status and the person behind the persona. The future is not predestined in Chinese philosophy: acts of compassion can lengthen one's life, and taking greater care with health can resolve possible future symptoms. Sometimes destiny and the ups and downs of life can be improved by facial surgery? Correcting squints helps one's fortunes during the years 35-40. However, nose jobs, which expose the nostrils and shorten the nose can affect the end of the 40s.
Balance and proportion are important in face reading, as in Chinese paintings. There needs to be harmony between the mountains (the yang element, represented in the face by the bones) and the rivers, (the yin element which is the soft tissue). Although a face may be considered beautiful by society, in face reading terms it may be too yin (upturned nose, large wide mouth, eyes too far apart, thin eyebrows). Many models have this look. In our language we have many expressions to describe character traits: pay through the nose, two faced, keeping one's nose clean, chinless wonder? We may have forgotten how these came into a language in the first place, the mouth relates to communication, and the chin signifies determination, ambition and practicality. So, face reading can be used to sum up a person's energies, to get a health read-out, to assess character, to help gain self knowledge and to plan for good health.
There are numerous ways to read a face in Chinese physiognomy: 3 Quarters, 8 Trigrams, 108 Spots, examining the shapes, the colors, the wrinkles and the moles, just to name a few. A master of face reader usually employs the combination of several techniques to gain multiple perspectives and perform cross-examination.
Following is a brief introduction to the 12 Houses method.
2. Parents House (Fumu Gong)
3. Career House (Guanlu Gong)
4. House of Travel (Qianyi Gong)
5. Life House (Ming Gong)
6. House of Siblings (Xiongdi Gong)
7. Assets House (Tianzhai Gong)
8. House of Marriage (Qiqie Gong)
10. Health House (Jie Going)
11. Wealth House (Caibo Gong)
12. Popularity House (Nupu Going)
Marks, spots, scars on, and even shapes of your face can change over time, meaning your fate can alter through the years. You can utilize your Man Power (your attitudes - good deeds, better learning and hard work) and the Earth Power (your environment - favorable Feng Shui) to neutralize the Heaven Power (your time of birth - what you have inherited from your parents and your previous lives). Ultimately, you are the real creator of your own fate. When you change your heart, you change your face; when you change your face, you change your fate.

Shape across bottom lid - openness
Straight - wary...

West Bromwich Albion Message Board
He's a great guy Tony Mowbray, passionate and up front. Brom are struggling but he's restricted in regards of the market. How's the club shaping in general?
Be careful, if you turn against him Middlesbrough will snap him up.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
It's a testing time now but he still appears to have many admirers out there despite your unfortunate drop. I mean, if he was to go, who could do any better considering cash restrictions?
- 1 Reply to Alan H
well while he was preaching for everybody to stand together he was on the train to Glasgow it seems
And it does not look as if he has wasted anytime in seeing what players he could take with him
does it really matter who you have and what pedigree they have if they dont have the capital to spend on quality proven premier league players you are always going to be in the bottom three of this league personally i dnt give a s*** cause wolves will show you how its done this time.wolves till i die!
how's the club shaping is a good question
clearly relegation hurts
clearly results turn heads
but here's the shape for me
1) Good manager in spite of the results
2) Good entertaining football being played
3) Lots of buys in two close seasons, expect more this time, and watch for the youngsters coming through (though i would like to see more home grown)
4) transfer policy seems to be focussing on the young could be's of the future
5) Tony would like a consistently good centre back. I think Leon Barnett will be better with another season under is belt but will look at martis/olsson partnership with interest
6) Tony would like someone up front. I would go for Bednar/Miller but would look for a good alternative
7) We know the midfield can play, we know they can score
8) England international goalkeeper who has made more saves than any keeper this year. As he grows so he will become more consistent and cut out silly errors
9) Not a bad disciplinary record. We know who lets us down and we think we might have a better footballing alternative
I dón't think the shapes that bad.
I would like to see better results
I would like us to win the championship again next year (i think we're down) and would like to be better set for the year after with more settled youngsters, more confident players, more interesting buys.
i would like to see more confidence in the manager and less knee jerk reactions
good idea,he should GO to Middlesbrough and we might get someone in with a better idea of tactics on how to win a game......not gift it to the opposition all the time !

Sorry Again...
,,,if this is stupid, but if boxers were so great in the past, and with such great training methods, and fight regularity, why is today's game not mimicking this system at all?
I am not here to be a jerk at all,I grew up with Ali and that era, but I wonder what others who think that the psst generation of boxers were so superior, wouldn't following in their footsteps(training regiments, activity) be a wise path to follow?
I've wondered this for quite awhile, but unless you are an unknown fighter, I guess you risk big paydays if you fight every month or so right?
I really want to know, hat do you all think is the best way for a fighter in today's game to be great, regardless of paydays, should you be as active as the old school fighting greats,or stick to the limited schedules each year instead?
What about early development then, before a fighter is known and a big name fighter, why not fight a lot...seems as though NO fighters do so anymore, even the great Mexicans who were the last throwbacks it seemed to the old days.
Sorry for the trouble, but I would LOVE some insight to the old days training and activity compared to the modern era. I PROMISE I am NOT a troll or anything, I would value the history sections opinions on this greatly!

There are a few fighters today that do this and they are called padded , protected or barnstormers.
I think Travis Walker is such an example , but even he gained experience in amateur competition prior to fighting as a pro.

It just continues to feel like college football makes these small incremental steps. If you're going to do something, then do it right. Sit down, spend some time and figure it out. Stop half assing everything. We're going to cure cancer before we have a logical conclusion to a college football season.
this may be of some local interest

Beijing, China -
As China's middle class booms, the nation has doubled its imports of American products, not the kind that are pirated, but items like soybeans, cars, airplanes and medicine.
Exports to China have doubled since 2008 but there has been no change in Chinese government policy. Economist are saying it is the result of China becoming wealthier, now the worlds second largest economy after it overtook Japan.
The boom in U.S. exports is not helping erase America's trade deficit with China, which was $295 billion in 2011, $22 billion higher than the year before. But American exports to China have increased by 468 percent since 2001, when the country joined the World Trade Organization, and are up by nearly 50 percent since 2008.
Even some American trash is being exported to China, where they are able to salvage valuables like copper, aluminum and other minerals.
It was soybeans, cars, airplanes and medicine that saw the biggest jump as Chinese began demanding meat, which soybeans are used in livestock feed, and as they earn more, they giving up their bicycles and turning to automobiles, with Chevy being popular along with Cadillacs.
As large as China is, air travel has become important, both domestically and for foreigners doing more and more business in China. Lastly, as China becomes more connected to the global economy, so too are they giving up old medicine remedies and embracing modern medicine, but so far no HMO insurance companies have relocated to China yet.

Alexander Pym, M.D., Ph.D.
Associate Investigator
Soon after earning his medical degree, Alexander Pym left his home in London to work in a rural hospital in KwaZulu-Natal. From 1992 to 1994, he was in charge of tuberculosis (TB) control for the hospital's district of Nqutu. He also launched the hospital's first voluntary HIV testing program.
"I was there just as the HIV/TB epidemic was launching off," Pym says. At the time, only about 2% of the patients were infected with HIV. Today, he says, hospitals in KwaZulu-Natal face HIV infection rates more like 35% to 40%. And TB and HIV are tightly intertwined. Pym and his research colleagues at K-RITH will be studying the deadly intersection between these two infectious diseases.
When Pym returned to London in 1994 to continue his medical training, he worked on some of the first clinical trials of triple therapy for HIV. Until then, HIV was treated with a combination of two drugs. "It worked a bit, but it essentially failed to suppress HIV," he says. "With triple therapy, for the first time we could see patients actually getting better and remaining well. That showed me that clinical trials and clinical medicine could really have a big impact on treatment." Pym went on for a Ph.D. at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, where he continued his focus on TB, studying the tuberculosis vaccine BCG and the genetic mutations that make the bacterium that causes TB, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, resistant to antibiotics.
Pym was drawn back to South Africa in 2006, where he worked at the Tuberculosis Research Unit of the South African Medical Research Council in Durban. "I really felt I wanted to study HIV/TB in an area of the world that was worst affected," he says. Things were much worse than in the early 90s. "I was astonished to find quite how dramatic the TB/HIV epidemic had become." Durban has some of the highest rates of TB and HIV infection in the world.
Pym's aim is to improve treatment for TB and HIV, by testing new drugs and finding better ways of combining existing drugs. People infected with HIV take three drugs for the rest of their lives. TB treatment lasts six months and includes four drugs. When people with both infections are taking seven drugs a day, they face difficulties adhering to the drug regimen as well as an unhealthy pile up of side effects and dangerous drug-drug interactions.
At K-RITH, Pym will continue working on clinical trials and will delve into the basic biology of TB infection. He wants to know why it takes multiple drugs six months to kill M. tuberculosis. All but a handful of TB cells are killed in the first couple of weeks of treatment, but a tiny number of cells hold on for another five and a half months before the drugs take effect.
"I'm very excited to join K-RITH because now I can really focus on understanding why it takes six months to treat TB," Pym says. He also hopes to develop better ways to determine if treatment is working. Today, clinical trials must run for two or three years before researchers can be sure a treatment has an effect; using the new facilities at K-RITH, Pym hopes to find a way to speed those studies along.
"Being part of a state-of-the-art scientific institute equipped with cutting-edge technology [in South Africa] enables someone like me to really study the human biology and its relation to TB and HIV at the site of the problem," he says. "There's no real parallel for K-RITH anywhere in the world."

2012 PTR: Year In Review
By UAdan, 24 November 2012 - 11:45 PM
For the posters who have at least been at SECtalk since the beginning of the summer, you'll remember that @HobnailedBoots compiled a series of threads over the course of the summer on a weekly basis. These topics focused on a different SEC team each week and allowed members to vote on each team's final W/L record for the 2012 season.
Well, with the anticipation that increased with each passing week of the PTR threads as we clawed closer to kickoff, that excitement has already come and gone. The regular season is now complete.
So, how right accurate were the members at SECtalk? Which teams were the biggest surprises? The biggest flops? Let's take a look.
How I did this:
I took about 20 mins to sort through all the PTR threads and calculated the average predicted win total for each team. Then, I compared that number with the number of actual wins.
Alabama Crimson Tide:
Average predicted wins: 10.7
Actual wins: 11
Breakdown: Alabama was one of the most accurately predicted teams in the SEC, as 56 of 60 voters predicted the Tide within one game of its actual 11-1 record.
Arkansas Razorbacks:
Average predicted wins: 9.1
Actual wins: 4
Breakdown: Arkansas was easily the worst flop of any SEC team in the 2012 season. In fact, out of 56 votes, NOBODY predicted the Hogs to do worse than 6-6, except for one joke 0-12 vote.
Auburn Tigers:
Average predicted wins: 7.3
Actual wins: 3
Breakdown: Auburn is right there with Arkansas in falling incredibly short of season expectations. Out of 79 voters, only 2 predicted the War Eagles to finish as badly as 3-9, like they did.
Florida Gators:
Average predicted wins: 8.1
Actual wins: 11
Breakdown: The Gators were expected to be strong, but they far surpassed SECtalk's expectations. Florida finished 11-1, but out of their 54 votes, only 2 predicted a double-digit win season!
Georgia Bulldogs:
Average predicted wins: 10.7
Actual wins: 11
Breakdown: It's true that Georgia caught flack for their schedule over the summer, but to their credit they lived up to expectations. 44 of 54 voters said Georgia would win 9-11 games, so the Dawgs actually did slightly better than what most predicted.
Kentucky Wildcats:
Average predicted wins: 3.5
Actual wins: 2
Breakdown: As hard as it is to believe, Kentucky was even WORSE than expected. 36 of 46 voted the 'Cats within 3-4 wins, and they only finished with 2. Ugh.
LSU Tigers:
Average predicted wins: 10.6
Actual wins: 10
Breakdown: LSU did almost exactly what they were expected to do by the majority at SECtalk. 34 of 39 voters predicted 10 wins or more, and the Tigers won 10 with the only two losses being in close games.
Mississippi State Bulldogs:
Average predicted wins: 7.7
Actual wins: 8
Breakdown: A sour end to the season with an Egg Bowl beatdown, but the Bullies actually did about what most expected them to do. 47 of 55 voters had State within one game of their actual final record.
Missouri Tigers:
Average predicted wins: 7.1
Actual wins: 5
Breakdown: Over the summer, Missouri was actually expected to be the stronger newcomer into the SEC. But the Show-Me state Tigers suffered a setback. 61 of 68 voters said Mizzou would be bowl-eligible, but alas, Coach Pinkel's squad will be home for the holidays.
Ole Miss Rebels:
Average predicted wins: 3.7
Actual wins: 6
Breakdown: Rebels going bowling?! Who saw this coming? Apparently, not too many people here at SECtalk. In fact, only 4 of 65 voters had Ole Miss with 6+ wins!
South Carolina Gamecocks:
Average predicted wins: 9.7
Actual wins: 10
Breakdown: Carolina was also one of the most accurately-predicted teams in the SEC. An overwhelming 68 out of 80 majority had the Cocks within one game of their actual record.
Tennessee Volunteers:
Average predicted wins: 6.1
Actual wins: 5
Breakdown: It was uglier on the field than what the numbers would indicate, but Tennessee actually didn't do a whole lot worse record-wise than what we thought. The Vols had a huge window of opportunity as 64 of 76 voted anywhere from 5-8 wins. Unfortunately for Derek Dooley, his team fell at the very bottom of that window.
Texas A&M Aggies:
Average predicted wins: 6.1
Actual wins: 10
Breakdown: The best surprise of the year in the SEC, by far. If this statistic doesn't earn Kevin Sumlin the SECtalk Coach of the Year Award (is there one?) then nothing should. Out of 80 voters, only 5 predicted 8+ wins. And the Aggies won 10. Hats off, great season.
Vanderbilt Commodores:
Average predicted wins: 6.3
Actual wins: 8
Breakdown: Vanderbilt is one of those teams that quietly did significantly better than what most anticipated. James Franklin built off his first-season success by getting to 8 wins, a feat that only 7 of 65 voters saw happening.
Statistical summary:
Here's a final statistical summary to highlight the differential in average predicted wins and actual wins. Think of it the same as turnover margin. Green indicates a season that surpassed expectations (positive), while red indicates a team that fell below expectations (negative).
Texas A&M + 3.9
Florida + 2.9
Ole Miss + 2.3
Vanderbilt + 1.7
Alabama + 0.3
Georgia + 0.3
Mississippi State + 0.3
South Carolina + 0.3
Tennessee –1.1
Kentucky –1.5
Missouri –2.1
Auburn –4.3
Arkansas –5.1
SECtalk.Com's Best Surprise of 2012 Award goes to..... The Texas A&M Aggies!!!
SECtalk.Com's Biggest Flop of 2012 Award goes to...... The Arkansas Razorbacks

Weather Control
Carl H. Flygt
October, 2005
It's starting to look like we're going to need to take scientific control of the Earth's atmosphere. Hurricanes are getting stronger, leading apparently to regular disruptions of lifestyle and oil supplies, droughts persist in the Middle East and Africa, leading to and cementing intractable social conflicts and unpleasant and barely tolerable weather persists over much of the world's continental mass, leading to excessive real estate prices in places like California and Hawaii. What we need are smoother weather patterns, where atmospheric moisture is removed and increased according to plan, where temperatures remain more or less isothermal across latitudes and where vegetation and ocean currents are made to harmonize with an overall optimization of pleasantness and predictability. No more hurricanes, no more tornadoes, no more monsoons, no more extreme winters, no more sweltering and stagnant summers and the stagnant forms of culture and consciousness that go with them. Rather, we should aim for an ideal weather, given the parameters already set, but perhaps gradually alterable, by things like mountain ranges, ocean circulations, land masses and other cosmic factors like the tilt of the earth's axis.
One experiment we might try, beyond the one we are already running with greenhouse gas emission, is to cool the Gulf of Mexico. For much less than $200 billion, the projected cost of cleaning up after Katrina, we could tow a significant number of Arctic icebergs into the Caribbean Sea next July, and maybe that would lower the surface temperatures by enough to blunt next year's onslaught of hurricanes. If that showed promise, perhaps we could mount huge solar powered water purifiers and icemakers on barges and station them out there. Maybe we could build an undersea wall somewhere that would alter the Gulf Stream enough to get some of that warm water out of the Gulf. Fiddling scientifically with these factors could be no worse, and possibly significantly better, than the unscientific fiddling we have already done.
The weather patterns in the Middle East represent an analogous challenge. The intransigent attitudes of revenge and self-immolation of that area stem in large part from the fact that the place is a natural wasteland. If mangoes and oranges could be plucked from verdant and healthy trees wherever one went, if clover and honey were readily available everywhere in the natural environment, if warm, gentle rain showers occurred every other day between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m., no one would be planning to blow himself up in a local marketplace, and if he were, he would be viewed by the locals as genuinely anomalous. This is basically the neocon vision of the Bush administration. Install enough air conditioned shopping malls stocked with enough shiny things worth working hard to own, and Middle Eastern society will reorganize along progressive lines, gradually forgetting its ancient and backward religious motivations. It might actually work.
Global warming may be a blessing in disguise. Now that America herself is under assault as an unintended consequence of her own profligate habits of consumption and wealth generation, she will certainly turn her considerable engineering talents to the problem of optimizing the global weather. And if anything can be imagined to complement an environmental movement of the mind, which externally at least is what my theory of conversation amounts to, it is a planet settled in life, in light and in an atmosphere as benign, healthy and perpetually pleasant as that of the Fijian islands.
