Never mind the past predictions; just believe today's
Andrew Bolt
–, Tuesday, November, 15, 2011, (9:50am)
How the latest IPCC report, carefully leaked, was first reported, to the delight of alarmists everywhere:
A DRAFT UN report three years in the making finds that man-made climate change has boosted the frequency or intensity of heatwaves, wildfires, floods and cyclones and that such disasters are likely to increase in future.
The draft being discussed by the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change says the severity of the impacts vary, and some regions are more vulnerable.
Agence France-Presse has obtained a copy of the draft report's 20-page summary for policymakers, which is subject to revision by governments before release on November 18.
But BBC science reporter Richard Black looked a little closer:
The draft, which has found its way into my possession, contains a lot more unknowns than knowns.
On the one hand, it says it is "very likely" that the incidence of cold days and nights has gone down and the incidence of warm days and nights has risen globally.
And the human and financial toll of extreme weather events has risen.
But when you get down to specifics, the academic consensus is far less certain.
There is "low confidence" that tropical cyclones have become more frequent, "limited-to-medium evidence available" to assess whether climatic factors have changed the frequency of floods, and "low confidence" on a global scale even on whether the frequency has risen or fallen.
In terms of attribution of trends to rising greenhouse gas concentrations, the uncertainties continue.
While it is "likely" that anthropogenic influences are behind the changes in cold days and warm days, there is only "medium confidence" that they are behind changes in extreme rainfall events, and "low confidence" in attributing any changes in tropical cyclone activity to greenhouse gas emissions or anything else humanity has done…
And for the future, the draft gives even less succour to those seeking here a new mandate for urgent action on greenhouse gas emissions, declaring: "Uncertainty in the sign of projected changes in climate extremes over the coming two to three decades is relatively large because climate change signals are expected to be relatively small compared to natural climate variability".
It's also explicit in laying out that the rise in impacts we've seen from extreme weather events cannot be laid at the door of greenhouse gas emissions: "Increasing exposure of people and economic assets is the major cause of the long-term changes in economic disaster losses (high confidence).
"Long-term trends in normalized economic disaster losses cannot be reliably attributed to natural or anthropogenic climate change."
But then come the scary predictions. So what was predicted to have happened already turned out false or unconfirmed, but we're meant to accept the latest predictions of doom tomorrow.
This was precisely the line from Climate Commissioner Will Steffen, when he conceded it was wrong to have attribtuted the recent Australian drought to global warming, or to have blamed warming for more cyclones and hurricanes:
(Via Benny Peiser.)
Have Your Say
Unless I miss my mark, there is a big issue there with one of those claims. There is "Uncertainty in the sign of projected changes in climate extremes". From a mathematical viewpoint this almost certainly means that they are unsure whether the changes will be positive or negative, in other words the climate extremes could be worse than expected or better, no one knows. Of course I'm only a maths lecturer....

I suggest that you do a bit of "Extreme Weather" investigation.
You will find that recent "Extreme Weather events" are neither unusual , without precedent or even as highly disruptive as previous historical episodes.
Tue 15 Nov 11 (12:59pm)
Does your comment mean that THE SCIENCE ISN"T SETTLED. Are you a sceptic ????. Or are you a true believer

"Uncertainty in the sign of projected changes in climate extremes over the coming two to three decades is relatively large because climate change signals are expected to be relatively small compared to natural climate variability". [/i]
Gary I like the whole quote particularly the last part.
Natural climate variablity overides any uncertain, tiny effect man made CO2 makes on climate.

Hands up anyone who still believes the IPCC are dedicated to the pursuit of science and not politics.

And also take note bennoba that the summary for policy makers comes out long long before the actual chapters of the working groups are finilised.
This is exactly what they did in the infamous second report when the summary stated "a discernable human influence on climate" whilst the main chapter stated no such thing after reviewers had finished with it.
But Ben Santer was given the task of rewriting that chapter (he was lead author). He rushed through a paper depicting cherry picked radio sonde data, refered to that paper even before it was published and claimed it as the evidence backing up the claim of "discernable human influence."
The IPCC reviewers knew nothing about it.
Tue 15 Nov 11 (12:45pm)
Hi Bennoba, as Poly said on the 11th.
Polyaulax replied to Graeme
Fri 11 Nov 11 (01:09pm)
Again with an unsupported assertion that "the science is corrupted" I bet you have little idea of the scope and range of the published science .
We can establish that Polyaulax certainly believes that the scientific process is uncorrupted.
Of course to take that stance - Poly would either have to believe that political interference in the scientific process was both normal and acceptable behaviour, or be unaware of the political interference.
I still think that the classic example of corruption of science with the AGW field comes from this link to some extraordinary behaviour by the hockey stick team players in 2006

Philosopher Karl Popper expressed an interest in
"one of the oldest dreams of mankind—the dream of prophecy, the idea that we can know what the future has in store for us, and that we can profit from such knowledge by adjusting our policy."
The IPCC's CAGW prophesies have been wrong. Even hindcast predictions are wrong.
The IPCC response? Change the predictions and uphold the falsified theory, introduce new assumptions, manipulate data, and reinterpret the theory ad hoc to evade the refutation, even at the cost of destroying testability and promoting pseudoscience.
Tue 15 Nov 11 (02:07pm)
Would you care to expand upon your comment?
If you could find the time, perhaps you could provide an explanation of why the IPCC is no longer "…dedicated to the pursuit of science".
To give you credit this is the first post I have seen of yours that isn't a response to somebody else's. What you do not provide is any substance to your claim.
My suspicion is that you are a US tea partier. Your technique, hit and run attacks on climate change issues and those who would question the Murdoch media, is revealing.
Your undertanding of local issues is limited.
Come clean Bennoba, give us an explanation of what you actually stand for.
Tue 15 Nov 11 (02:28pm)
'...IPCC are dedicated to the pursuit of science and not politics.'
There also dedicated to the collection of money from the wealthy countries to disperse to the poorer countries.
Real science will openly discuss the "uncertainties" associated with specific results.
As has been done in the past, those uncertainties will be removed from the IPCCs final summary report for the policy makers as they are politically unacceptable. (Unless the political agenda has changed and politicians and their financial backers are now looking for a way to step away from AGW while saving face).
In the meantime the warmists can keep believing that the science is settled as dealing with ambiguity, uncertainty and risk seem to be beyond their emotional and intellectual maturity to handle.
Tue 15 Nov 11 (10:34am)
" ............because climate change signals are expected to be relatively small compared to natural climate variability".
Translation: We think that as the world is in for a prolonged cool period due to low sun spot activity (a natural climate variability) the AGW signal will hardly be noticed, in fact we don't think you will see it at all.
Tue 15 Nov 11 (10:36am)
Tue 15 Nov 11 (12:53pm)
Hi BBBaz,
The reliance on "signals" (of global warming attributed to human activities) that can be barely distinguished from the background noise (of natural variation) is one of the key features of any psuedo-scientific system.
The barely detectable "signal" is seen as a portent of powerful forces that have an impact of much greater proportion to the signal itself.
For example, a small < 1 degree rise in temperatures in the 20th C is is attributed to humanity and parlayed into an immense future catastrophy, while ignoring the uncertainty and faintness of the detected signal of human attribution of that warming.
My personal climate observations:
In my world 40 years ago - It wasn't as hot.
40 years ago we didn't have air conditioning. So there was no shock of the real temperatures outside of our buildings and cars.
I was a child and kids don't notice these things.
I may have been thinner and fitter.
I was care free and less grumpy.
Tue 15 Nov 11 (10:39am)
Tue 15 Nov 11 (01:42pm)
In my world 55 years ago I was also all of the above.
We lived on a cattle property at the back of beyond.
The dirt was so parched it curled up in pieces. I licked it because it looked like chocolate - a rare treat out there.
A couple of years later the river was in flood - pelicans and birdlife returned, green everywhere.
Tue 15 Nov 11 (04:27pm)
I'm with you jayshir except the second last sentence should read "I was much thinner and fitter then".
Green is the new Red
The Greens are the ontly political party telling the Australian citizens how they should live. They are telling us what cars we can purchase, where we can live and how we should live, what utilities we should use and how to use less. They inform us we should give up all our hard earned luxuries and return to the "good old days" of living without electricity and many of todays creature conforts.
They want to close all mining in Australia and therefore reduce our national income. They also want to reduce or restrict Australian manufacturing and send it all "off shore" and reduce our national income by even more and put at risk hundreds of thousands of every day Australian jobs.
I have heard these ideas and views elsewhere, oh yes, the policies of the Communist Party. The Greens are very suttlely putting forward and implementing communist policies. As the title says, Green is the new Red.
Tue 15 Nov 11 (11:00am)
If they don't absolutely know, if there is significant uncertainty, then the science can't be fixed, the argument can't be over, and we may be spending trillions on an urban myth.
And that's being kind to the alarmist argument. In reality, you don't need too much IQ to see that this whole thing is the biggest scam in human history. And Donna Laframboise's book on the IPCC and it will be abundently clear that we are being had!!
Tue 15 Nov 11 (11:02am)
Tue 15 Nov 11 (01:20pm)
You should hear the interview Will Steffen did with Alan Jones a few weeks back…
Notice the specific words Steffen uses in this conversation..."the best peer reviewed information at the time. A great deal of backside protection.
And yes, the Donna Laframboise book seals the deal.
Tue 15 Nov 11 (02:56pm)
Talk about back-pedalling from a beat-up! Tomato-faced carbonistas will find it just gets worse and worse as it gets more expensive. Bring on the fiscal HRT - an election followed by some Coalition policies to flush out the green sludge..
Tue 15 Nov 11 (03:42pm)
Terry this is the biggest scam in human history.The IPPC,CSIRO,and Labor and Green alarmist have been frightening the children with prediction with a common thread.They never occur,on the law of averages you would think that they would get some right.They say more than seven billion humans breath out pollution,this is the same gas CO2 that coal fired power stations emmit to produce electricity.Photosynthesis enables plants to take carbon from the CO2 for their growth and release oxygen back into the atmosphere.The humans need this or they die.
I have low confidence in the forecast that the warmists including Mr Steffen are making. I have high confidence that the climate commission in its current form is a waste of tax payer's money.
Tue 15 Nov 11 (11:04am)
"Increasing exposure of people and economic assets is the major cause of the long-term changes in economic disaster losses (high confidence).
This is the most important part of this excerpt. While greedy developers and incompetent, or perhaps corrupt, planning departments give permission to go ahead on turning flood plains into housing, industrial or canal developments then the incidence of catastrophic property loss, and unfortunately lives, will only increase. (The Coomera River Overflow, the secondary channel of the river that handles major flood flows, was recently turned into a canal estate. Hope they have their insurance paid up.)
They supposedly base their planning on 1/100 year flood levels but this is simply guess work with the majority of councils having no historical records long enough to have any idea of what the area is really capable of.
And as more and more development goes on there is less and less absorption area so run off is deeper and swifter.
I have been in a 9 inch in 45 minutes rainfall situation out in the country and suffered no damage, hardly even bought the creek up. I cannot begin to think what Sydney would be like if the same event occurred there.
Tue 15 Nov 11 (11:07am)
Look at all this err.. cooling that is/is not happening.
No surprises there for the IPCC, I mean just look at our models they foretold of this - well didn't they?
Tue 15 Nov 11 (11:12am)
It is now apparent also from modeling that labor's carbon tax will have negligible effects on household budgets.
Again from modeling, about the same effect it will have on climate change.
So the logical question must be -
"given that the key players around the globe are not committing to any similar emissions abatement schemes, what exactly is the point of Gillard's carbon scheme here"?
Tue 15 Nov 11 (11:21am)
Tue 15 Nov 11 (02:42pm)
To raise revenue from us of course. Thats all this has ever been about and to hand out a few of those dollars to the backers of this scam.
Tue 15 Nov 11 (03:04pm)
Mick, Look up the words "Carbon Currency" and you will find out
Steffen is amazing, all those years when I was being told the Air was getting hotter but no that is wrong. It is in the inaccessible, to most, deep oceans where it is all happening. China will also be pleased to know it is Australia that emits most GHG. Strange it all seems to be tipped on it's head.
Tue 15 Nov 11 (11:29am)
Tue 15 Nov 11 (03:50pm)
And the idea that Australia is actually a NETT CARBON SINK, will certainly never get an airing from the Steffens of the AGW bretheren.
...the draft report's 20-page summary for policymakers, which is subject to revision by governments before release...
Why? Governments have an interest in this report supporting their policies, so why should they be allowed to revise the summary? Does it not make the whole thing an exercise in politics instead of science?

Tue 15 Nov 11 (01:04pm)
Hi Jono,
I put it down to incompetence and greedy political and financial opportunism. Both of which the world has in abundance.
All you need to do to produce this scientific garbage is to modify (corrupt) the scientific process within the field of climate science - which was easy as it was broken from day one.
Once the process becomes broken, you can have people operating in entirely earnest and honest ways that produce rubbish.
The issues with the process are,
[1] No actions to remove confirmation bias within the climate science community. As a counter-example, in the drug research field "Double Blind" experimentation is used to eliminate confirmation bias. I.e. they are only finding what they are looking for (warming by Humans).
[2] Lack of transparency of data and methods restricts the ability to conduct independent verification - the Climate science community has become a self reinforcing clique that does not share it's data and methods with those outside the community/clique.
[3] Lack of effective validation of data - are the instruments and proxies correctly calibrated. This issue is enormous as the land based instrument temperature record has not been audited from within the climate community (Best notwithstanding – the issues within the Land Temperature record remain unaddressed).
[4] point [3] applies to Models - which are believed without validation against real world data.
Once you have these practices in place it is easy to hire earnest, hardworking, honest scientists and collect bad data, and feed that bad data through unverified models, using unquestioned methods to produce expected results that confirm biases that meet the political needs of those who fund the research who are also captured by the very same results.
Once politicised - the process is very difficult to fix as funding will be drawn to it (AGW) due to the political capture.
Tue 15 Nov 11 (02:30pm)
Because thye have to give it the appearance of 'peer review' even though its by UN bureaucrats with green/socialist agendas.
Tue 15 Nov 11 (02:35pm)
This is what has happened with all past IPCC assessment reports. Government bureaucrats and environmental NGO activists have a huge say in shaping the final message.
'Does it not make the whole thing an exercise in politics instead of science? '
Yes indeed..
Uncertainty in the sign of projected changes in climate extremes over the coming two to three decades is relatively large because climate change signals are expected to be relatively small compared to natural climate variability".
That is an admission they are:
1) wrong in their scaremongering and precautionary principle.
2) they do not know the answer so their predictions are meaningless.
3) all ETS schemes will have no effect on climate because they cannot measure the difference between prediction and natural variability.
The greens implode.
Tue 15 Nov 11 (11:35am)
Tue 15 Nov 11 (03:17pm)
The greens implode.
Sorry Jack but that bit is incorrect. They will just keep on denying, scare mongering, making spurious claims and when left with no other option, making it up.
No different to what they have done to date actually!
Religious zealots like Bob Brown don't let facts influence their thinking.
Tue 15 Nov 11 (04:15pm)
I would like to watch Bob Brown, Chris Milne and P Wrong implode. Maybe we can give each other a hi five.
There is always doom and gloom coming towards us sometime in the future according to the IPCC but as the years roll on, the doom and gloom tends to recede into a few more years down the track. First the Himalayas were melting and then no icecaps on the North pole. The Great Barrier Reef no more. Islands drowned under rising acid sea levels....Does anyone believe in any of this nonsense anymore? A message to all IPCC scientists - "You can only cry wolf so many times before we turn away and laugh at your threats."
Tue 15 Nov 11 (12:04pm)
I have just one question for climate scientists: at what degree of deviation from the forecasted data does AGW become a falsifiable hypothesis?
Tue 15 Nov 11 (12:11pm)
In Europe there have already been meetings at a business level with this item on the agenda "How to tackle Global Cooling"". Not surprising because it is and will be the reality.
Who's going to believe the shamsters predictions again don't waste time paying them attention.
Tue 15 Nov 11 (12:14pm)
Well it is certainly NOT a scientific report if everything is couched in the terms of "likely", "unlikely", "low confidence"' "medium to moderate confidence" etc. Where are the certainties?
And as for the executive report it is not worth the paper it is written on when "the draft report's 20-page summary for policymakers, which is subject to revision by governments before release on November 18".
It is and always will be a Pakapoo ticket.
Tue 15 Nov 11 (12:36pm)
More massaging the message for Western European "social democracy" governments by the the IPCC. Our very own "social democracy" party thinks Australia is the Sweden of the South Pacific. We forgive them their self delusion otherwise they would be guilty of sedition. We don't have a 500 foot cloud cover for 5 months of the year. We do not have acid rain destroying our forests. We are are not Europe. It is totally against our national interest to adopt their very necessary but expensive environmental policies. Shame on our scientists and the Labor movement for using these emotive but false issues for political advantage.
Tue 15 Nov 11 (12:52pm)
Warmist Correct Speak Hides The Truth
I notice that Will Steffan uses craftily constructed speech that prevents interviewers from deciphering the truth.
Peer Review Fallacy
Of course the old trick is always to cite the peer reviewed literature as being the bible on whether something is factual or not. We all know how problematic peer review is, especially in the climate science genre, where there is good evidence that some peers behave as a secret society where only certain views and evidence are countenanced to meet political and funding needs.
The Latest Research Fallacy
The second bastion of the truth he uses is the term the latest research. This sounds convincing to the gullible. But what does the latest actually mean? There may be many papers, for instance, that come out at the same time. There will be those that are supportive of gw, and those that are not. Will Steffan just picks the ones that are in agreeance. Saying they are the latest makes one think that all that has gone before is superseded, when in fact, concurrently there are papers that contradict global warming. Therefore, the latest research strategy is a fallacy and a trick.
Natural Climatic Variation Explains What The Models Don't Predict
Note that Will Steffan uses this collective term to imply, that when the temperarture of the planet doesn't rise as predicted, it is just down to natural climatic variation. In other words, this term is used to block any allowance for other reasons for temperature changes of the planet, such as solar activity. We don't get to learn the degree that these other factors have on influencing the earth's temperature, for they are simply dismissed under the umbrella term, natural climatic variation.
Ignoring the Evidence
Steffan flatly dismissed your evidence of no increases in air temperature of the planet as evidence of no warming over the past decade. He just cites there are other measures that show there has been warming, but we still would like to know why the air temperature has not increased. He also lied about the evidence you presented where you showed there had been no increases in sea temperature, where he claimed that Judith Curry who you cited, had not made those claims.
Need A Minimum of Three Decades to Show Warming is Convenient
While I believe you do indeed need long periods ot time to decide how and what is influencing the temperature of the planet, (e.g. The Medieval Warming period when man made CO2 was essentially nonexistent. and the planet warmed significanty) isn't Steffan's three decades just convenient ? The planet hasn't warmed for ten years despite significant increases in anthropogenic CO2. Ahhh that's a problem, so voila !, let's add another the 20 years past to show that the planet has warmed. Problem solved by a statistical trick.

Definition of Aung San Suu Kyi in English:
Aung San Suu Kyi
(B.1945), Burmese political leader, daughter of Aung San and leader of the National League for Democracy (NLD) since 1988. She was held under house arrest from 1989 to 1995, and the ruling military government refused to recognize her party's victory in the 1990 elections. From 2000 she was frequently detained again before being released in 2010. In the elections of 2015 her NLD party won a majority, but Aung San Suu Kyi was barred from becoming president by clauses in the constitution. Nobel Peace Prize (1991).

Wylie History
I am doing a little research on a 1891 cabin we will be staying in during the Christmas holidays. I was informed by the Gunnison Museum that it was once part of Wylie Ranch and the Wylie spur of the railroad. The home is beautiful. Keeping the old cabin and restoring and adding to it keeping the old charm. I believe John Edward Wylie is part of the history and was wondering if you had any info? I love to share history with my children especially on such a special trip.
Thank you

Rita: I cleaned the lichen from the bottom part of the stone today, and the birth date is 19 April 1832. also "Born in the state of Ind." is just above the birth and death date. This is one of the stones that I suspect was moved from the old, old cemetery near the confluence of the Tomichi and Gunnison rivers. Sometimes that old cemetery is called "Riverside" in the old newspapers and sometimes it is called "Boulevard" cemetery. If you were to keep going south on Boulevard Street, which was the main street of West Gunnison you would cross the modern day runways of the airport and shortly run into the old cemetery that was uncovered in the mill tailings project, which was enclosed after the 36 graves were uncovered during the cat work of the tailing project in the early 1990's. Had a great afternoon in the sun at the cemetery. Thanks for the visit today!!

Alice Warner Dunn and Herbert Dunn headstone
Thanks so much for finding this burial site and obtaining the nice photo (Powderhorn Family cemetery in Gunnison county). I've been through this area a few times, and never knew that I had a connection to the Dunn (I see the ranch signs) nor to the historic Powderhorn area. I also know that you had to drive quite a few miles to get to it, so I really appreciate it!
You said that you had access to information there in Gunnison county. Alice's date of death is not engraved on thie shared headstone. She did remarry, but to the best of my knowledge she was not buried with her second husband in Furnas County, Nebraska. Is there some way of checking to see if Alice really is buried along side her husband, Herbert Roosevelt Dunn?

What does justice mean? We believe that prayer needs to be more than just pretty words -- if we want healing in the world, we need to respond to God's call for justice. Whether it is helping to build a library in a South African township, collecting food for the local food pantry, or helping neighbors in financial need, Messiah strives to embody the justice of Jesus' beatitudes.
From the Catechism portion of the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer:
The mission of the Church is to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ. The Church pursues its mission as it prays and worships, proclaims the Gospel, and promotes justice, peace, and love. The Church carries out its mission through the ministry of all its members.

I had a balance of about $600, and still have not received a check from the crooks (been about 3 weeks now). I just talked to a lady there and she said that it would take between 3 - 5 more weeks. I just have three questions:
1. will they be providing me with interest for the free use of my money?
2. are they as patient with their customers in paying their bills to COMCAST?
3. does this explain why COMCAST has so many customer complaints about their service?
COMCAST advertised their costs are so low, but they do not tell you the cost to rent their equipment!!

WBC: Chavez Jr. Fined $20,000, Directed To Enter Rehab
The WBC Board of Governors have made their final decision about the positive test for marijuana by Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, surrounding his last fight on September 15th against Sergio Martinez.
Having accepted and expressed regret for what he did, including his hand written apology to fans, as posted below, Julio Jr shows his positive mentality on this matter, which makes it unnecessary for the WBC to examine the second urine sample. Chavez Jr will have an audience with the WBC, as indicated by our rules, if desired.
The WBC fines Chavez Jr $20,000 USD. This sum will be donated to a medical center that cares for children with cancer.
The WBC has also decided to suspend him for an undefined time, so he can enter a rehab center. And we want official confirmation that he's so doing. The WBC will open its doors once again to Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, so he can continue his successful career when he feels he can return. The suspension will last as long as the rehab center advises.
The Nevada Boxing Commission is independent of this matter, due to the fact that it did not have the courtesy to work with the WBC in this fight.
The antidoping rules in the WBC, try to prevent boxers fighting under the influence of drugs, and that is why sanctions are applied. But...we also give boxers the chance to continue a career path, after they undergo rehab. Our goal is to help them and not condemn them, as modern society does.
Below are the words of Julio Cesar regarding this matter:
"Any explanation or justification that I try to give about the recent events will be of no use. That is why I want to say that I'm totally responsible of my actions, as well as the consequences thereof".
"I want to apologize to all the people who felt offended by my actions. I made them, and only I should face the consequences"
"I can say that I will come out of this, and it will help me to become stronger, I will do my very best to change.
"This begins a new stage in my career. I will train towards achieving new targets, one of which is without doubt the rematch with Sergio "Maravilla" Martinez.
I want to thank the support given to me by the people who love me, and who look up to me. Thank you for your time".

Uplogix Solutions for Branch Office Networks
Out-of-band management of office network infrastructure allows remote IT staff to identify, isolate and resolve problems faster with fewer truck rolls.
Branch office management challenges addressed by Uplogix
Unlike most headquarters, remote locations must overcome single points of failure and limited management visibility and control, as well as a lack of on-site technical staff ensuring high IT service levels. Routine maintenance tasks often require a site visit, and outages are common, leading to high support costs and downtime incidents.
Studies have shown the amount of time needed to identify, isolate and resolve a problem at a remote location can take five times or more than a similar problem at headquarters, due to lack of support staff, tools and visibility at remote sites.
Using traditional, network-dependent management tools, branch offices and remote locations are often exposed to security vulnerabilities and regulatory compliance gaps, especially during outages. It has simply not been possible for network operations staff using existing management technologies to guarantee the availability, security, or compliance of branch office environments.
Network management automation you can implement with confidenceSOLUTION BRIEF | In branch office environments, Uplogix reduces operational costs, resolves issues faster and improves security & compliance vs. centralized-only management.
MTBF and MTTR are important when managing a remote office network, but so is MTTI.
MTTI – The Mean Time to Innocence
Uplogix is a critical tool for addressing the challenges of managing branch offices with capabilities that lower support costs and increase uptime and network security. Uplogix also complements existing in-band, centralized monitoring systems while providing centralized IT staff with the access, control and enforcement capabilities needed to manage remote locations:
- Keeps branch offices online, even when the network is down or degraded, by providing secure out-of-band access to distributed devices as well as continuing to move primary network traffic with the WAN Traffic Failover (WTF) feature
- Provides best-in-class problem diagnosis and recovery capabilities to autonomously detect and fix remote issues without having to deploy expensive resources on-site
- Locally executes routine remote maintenance tasks like patch upgrades and configuration changes consistently and error-free, significantly reducing ongoing remote support costs
- Offers a secure platform for remote management and ensures compliance with internal management policies, regardless of the state of the network

This warm and rustic yet contemporary copper planters are killer. They'd work in any kind of space, whether you live in a lush home or a modest apartment. Having a fair share of greenery adds lots of life to your environment, and it looks super polished, especially when you dress your plants in swanky pots like these copper planters found in Garden Life.
These planters are a wee pricey ($225) but copper ain't cheap. Here's where the crafty you comes handy: you can recreate this look some copper sheets wrapped around a planter or empty paint bucket, secured with rivets. Or, go small scale and try some copper pipe.
If the copper look is not your thing, but you're still on the hunt for planter ideas, check out these ideas on ManMade.

Pursuant to
its historic purpose
of promoting excellence in legal scholarship, The Order of
the Coif sponsors a program that enables chapters to bring distinguished members of the legal
profession to their campuses. Each year the Executive Committee will invite one or more
distinguished judges, academics, or practitioners to visit several law schools that have established
Coif chapters. The Distinguished Visitor spends two days at each of the institutions he or she
visits, participating in classroom lectures and seminars, meeting informally with faculty and student
groups, and giving one address open to the entire academic community. The purpose of the program
is to contribute to the intellectual life of the campus by fostering an exchange of ideas with individuals
whose experiences and ideas may be expected to stimulate discussion about important issues
confronting the legal profession.
The Distinguished Visitor Program replaced the Lecture Series in 2004.
Coif Distinguished Visitor 2016
The Executive Committee takes great pleasure
in announcing that that Professor Eugene R. Fidell will
serve as the 2016 Coif Distinguished Visitor.
Eugene R. Fidell
Professor Fidell is Florence Rogatz Visiting Lecturer and Senior Research Scholar at Yale Law School, where
his courses have included Military Justice, Guantánamo, The Original Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court,
Federal Indian Law, American Indian Tribal Law, and Law of the Sea, Admiralty, and Disasters. He has also
taught at Harvard Law School and American University Washington College of Law, and is of counsel at
Feldesman Tucker Leifer Fidell LLP in Washington. He graduated from Queens College of the City University
of New York (B.A. 1965), where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and Harvard Law School (LL.B. 1968).
Professor Fidell is president emeritus of the National Institute of Military Justice and chairs the Committee on
Military Justice of the International Society for Military Law and the Law of War. He is a life member of the
American Law Institute.
Professor Fidell served in the U.S. Coast Guard. He is co-author of Military Justice: Cases and Materials
(2d ed. 2012) and the Guide to the Rules of Practice and Procedure of the United States Court of Appeals for
the Armed Forces (14th ed. 2015), and co-editor of Military Court Rules of the United States (3d ed. 2015). In
2014 he founded the popular Global Military Justice Reform blog, which is now read in over 130 countries.
Professor Fidell is married to Linda Greenhouse, who also teaches at Yale Law School. Their daughter
Hannah is a filmmaker in Los Angeles.
Any school with a chapter of
The Order of the Coif may host a distinguished visitor Priority
be given
to those institutions that do not have extensive resources on which to draw for similar programs or that for
other reasons may have difficulty in doing so and which have not recently hosted a distinguished visitor.
The national office of the Order
provides an honorarium for the Coif Distinguished Visitor and pays
for his or her transportation to the host school. The host school is responsible for the expense of his or her
meals, lodging, and local transportation. In addition, the host school undertakes to provide publicity for the
Visitor's lecture sufficient to bring it to the attention of all segments of the campus, the local professional
community, including bench, bar, and law students.
The national
office of the Order issues invitations to the Distinguished Visitor and
posts information
about the visitors on this website.
1. The Distinguished
Visitors for the following academic year will be selected and chapters
notified during the summer.
2. Applications
to host a Coif Lecture should be submitted by December 1. The
national office, in
consultation with the Visitor, will then arrange a series of visits from among the schools that have
expressed an interest. Applicant schools should not communicate directly with the Distinguished Visitor.
Designated host schools will be notified of their selection in no later than January 2016.

Gone Home
Released today on Steam, Gone Home has garnered praise for its deeply affecting narrative, stripped-down design and a unique aesthetic steeped in 90's nostalgia and riot grrl culture. "When I played Gone Home I had the stunning realization that there could be a game for me. Someone can make a game for me." -Leigh Alexander. "It's touching, unsettling, deeply honest, and enormously compassionate. -Rock, Paper, Shotgun. "Gone Home is an epic story, but its definition of epic is far removed from how we usually talk about scope and drama in games. It's epic, personal and revelatory to the people involved, and that's why it's so special." -Giant Bomb. Polygon's 10/10 review. How Gone Home's design constraints lead to a powerful story. The Fullbright Company's Journey Home.
EA, humble?
The latest Humble Bundle is a collection of 8 AAA games from EA. Retail price for these games is $215 but, with the Humble Bundle, users can set their own price at anything starting from $1. Humble Bundle has received some flak previously for partnering with big brands, with many arguing that they had abandoned their original purpose of promoting indie game developers. EA however, in a likely attempt to stave off such criticism, has agreed to have 100% of proceeds from this bundle go to charity.
So what's in it for EA? Three of the games in the bundle can only be redeemed through Origin, EA's proprietary digital distribution framework which has thus far had very little success at competing with Steam. Unfortunately, Origin does not seem to be up to handing the influx of new users.

What It's Like To Play Gorogoa
That is, perhaps, the most striking thing about Gorogoa - the potential it reveals for creating in a computer game the sort of puzzle that would be all but impossible in a physical medium. The interaction of the tiles with one another is complex and often unexpected. There are times when a sharp-eyed player can see the way forward simply by looking for congruency or potential points of contrast, but often those opportunities only reveal themselves as you play with the tiles.

Chasing the Whale: Examining the ethics of free-to-play games
Via Gamasutra: "I used to work at [company], and it paid well and advanced my career," the person told me. "But I recognize that [company]'s games cause great harm to people's lives. They are designed for addiction. [company] chooses what to add to their games based on metrics that maximize players' investments of time and money. [company]'s games find and exploit the right people, and then suck everything they can out of them, without giving much in return. It's not hard to see the parallels to the tobacco industry."
From Pong to Pizza Entertainment: Nolan Bushnell and Chuck E. Cheese
Nolan Bushnell was a co-creator of Pong and Atari, and he also sold Atari arcade machines. When he noticed that he sold the arcade machines for $1,500 to $2,000 but the new owners would earn twice that much in the life of the machines, he started thinking of how to make an arcade destination that wouldn't compete with his arcade machine clients. His solution: a pizza parlor, with an arcade for the kids and an pneumatic-powered animatronic coyote mascot to fool the parents it was restaurant with free entertainment. The coyote became a rat named Chuck, and what was code-named Coyote Pizza was briefly renamed Rick Rat's Pizza, but the marketing department thought the name wasn't such a great idea, and instead we got Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theater. [more inside]
The jury's in... and they can't deny that view, either.
A month after its release, Naughty Dog's sweeping interactive epic The Last of Us is being hailed as one of the best games of all time, with perfect scores even from notoriously demanding critics. Inspired by an eerily beautiful segment from the BBC's Planet Earth, the game portrays an America twenty years after a pandemic of the zombiefying Cordyceps fungus (previously), leaving behind lush wastelands of elegant decay teeming with monsters and beset by vicious bandits, a brutal military, and the revolutionary Fireflies. Into this bleak vision of desperate violence journey Joel, a gruffly stoic Texan with a painful past, and his ward Ellie, a precocious teenager who may hold the key to mankind's future. Boasting tense, immersive gameplay, compelling performances from a diverse cast, a movingly minimalist score from Oscar-winning Gustavo Santaolalla, and an array of influences from Alfonso Cuarón's Children of Men to Cormac McCarthy's The Road, it's already being slotted alongside BioShock Infinite and Half-Life 2 as one of modern gaming's crowning achievements. And while it's hard to disentangle plot from action, you don't have to buy a PS3 to experience it -- YouTube offers many filmic edits of the game, including this three-hour version of all relevant passages. And don't miss the 84-minute documentary exploring every facet of its production. [more inside]

It's debatable whether the troubled World War Z signals the end of the ongoing zombie craze, but the film that started it all is much more clear: Danny Boyle's bleak, artful cult horror-drama 28 Days Later, which saw its US premiere ten years ago this weekend. From its iconic opening shots of an eerily abandoned London (set to Godspeed You! Black Emperor's brooding post-rock epic "East Hastings") to the frenzied chaos of its climax, Boyle's film -- a dark yet humanist tale of a world eviscerated by a frighteningly contagious epidemic of murderous rage -- reinvented and reinvigorated the genre that Romero built (though many insist its rabid, sprinting berserkers don't really count). And while sequel 28 Weeks Later with its heavyhanded Iraq War allusions failed to live up to the original (despite boasting one of the most viscerally terrifying opening sequences in modern horror), and 28 Months looks increasingly unlikely, there remains a small universe of side content from the film, including music, short films, comics, and inspired-by games.

You've played Pac-Man as a terrifying FPS game in 3-D (including ominous music), but Pac-Man is so much more: Pac-Man as a Match 3 game, as a math tutor, as a co-op game, as a 404 error page, as a side-scrolling shooter, as an endless runner, as a Google Doodle, and, finally Pac-Man as an 8-bit roguelike tower defense game. Also, a niceonline clone of the original, which famously caused a coin shortage in Japan when it was released. [some variations from here]

The game has a reputation for turning one's appreciation and apprehension of its challenges into intense addiction, constant improvement, and fervent devotion. [more inside]

Treaty of Nonsuch
The Treaty of Nonsuch was signed by Elizabeth I of England and the Netherlands on 10 August 1585 at Nonsuch Palace in Surrey.[1]
The treaty was provoked by the signing of the Treaty of Joinville in 1584 between Philip II of Spain and the Catholic League in which Philip II promised to finance the League.
Elizabeth I agreed to supply 6,400 foot soldiers and 1,000 cavalry, initially intended as a way of lifting the Siege of Antwerp (1584-1585), with an annual subsidy of 600,000 florins a year, about a quarter of the annual cost of the revolt. As a surety for this assistance, the Dutch were to hand over Brill and Flushing to England, which it would garrison at its own expense.[1]
The treaty granted Elizabeth the right to appoint two councillors to the council of state of the United Provinces.
The surety provoked the objection of Zeeland, which was to lose the most by this measure. Elizabeth rejected the title of Governor General of the Provinces offered to her in the treaty. When the head of the English troops in the Netherlands, Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester, accepted this title, Elizabeth considered it outrageous.
Philip II took the treaty as a declaration of war against him by Elizabeth. Three years later, he launched the Spanish Armada in an attempt to invade and conquer England. The resources spent by Philip on the Armada (10 million ducats) undoubtedly diverted significant resources from fighting the Dutch revolt at the time. Around 110 million ducats were spent on the partially successful campaign against the resurgent revolt.
The Treaty of Nonsuch was renewed and amended by the Treaty of Westminster of 6/16 August 1598 between the States-General and the Privy Council on behalf of Elizabeth.[2]
