Watching green ideology crash and burn
Twenty years ago the first Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro marked the ascension of environmentalism as a political force in international affairs. That conference in 1992 produced the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Convention on Biological Diversity. At the time, Chris Flavin of the Worldwatch Institute crowed, You cannot go to any corner of the globe and not find some degree of environmental awareness and some amount of environmental politics. Flavin added that with socialism in disrepute, environmentalism is now the most powerful political ideal today. At the conclusion of the Rio +20 Earth Summit, it is clear that that is no longer so.
The largest United Nations conference everfeaturing more than 50,000 participants from 188 nations was a flop. For most of the environmentalist ideologues at the Rio +20 conference the only question was whether it was a hoax or a failure. Oxfam chief executive Barbara Stocking preferred "hoax" while "failure" was Greenpeace spokesperson Kumi Naidoos dismissive term.
In response to outcomes of the Rio conference, more than a thousand environmentalist and leftist groups signed a petition entitled The Future We Dont Want. That is a play on the title of the platitudinous outcome document, The Future We Want, agreed to by the diplomats at the end of the conference. Greenpeaces Kumi Naidoo lamely vowed that disappointed environmentalists would now engage in acts of civil disobedience in order to bring about the world they want.
Should the people of the world be disappointed by the failure of the Rio +20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development? No. First of all, sustainable development as a concept is a Rorschach blot. The canonical version reads: "Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." This has no specific meaning and can be used by anyone to mean anything that they would like. So it is not at all surprising that the representatives from 190 rich and poor nations meeting in Rio de Janeiro could not agree on anything substantive with regard to sustainable development.
Nevertheless, since the first Earth Summit, the world has experienced a lot of development. In 1992, 46 per cent of the worlds population lived in absolute poverty (defined as income equivalent to less than $1.25 per day). Today that is down to 27 percent. In addition, average life expectancy has increased by three and a half years.
At the Rio +20 Earth Summit, environmentalists and the leaders of poor countries were hoping to shake down the rich countries for hundreds of billions in official development assistance annually. However, most of the actual development achieved over the past two decades was not the result of official development assistance (a.k.a. taxpayer dollars) from rich countries being sent to poor countries. In fact, some researchers have found [PDF] that development aid often actually retards economic growth and has an insignificant or minute negative significant impact on per-capita income. Why? Largely because the aid is stolen by the kleptocrats who run many poor countries and the rest is invested in projects that are not profitable. So what has produced so much improvement in the lot of poor people in developing countries since the first Earth Summit 20 years ago?
Remember in the 1960s, official development assistance accounted for 70 percent of the capital flows to developing nations, but today it amounts to only 13 percent, while at the same time, development budgets have actually increased, explained U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the Rio +20 Conference. Why is that? Well, you know very well. Because while continuing to provide assistance, the private sector investments, using targeted resources and smart policies, have catalyzed more balanced, inclusive, sustainable growth. Summary: The way to development is trade, not aid.
After a week spent listening to environmentalist hopes and objectives, one particularly puzzling and disturbing activist brainchild emerged and that is their undertaking to maintain and expand open access commons. Many participants at the Peoples Summit, which was run by 200 activist groups in parallel to the official summit, evidently do believe that property is theft. In the original Marxist version capitalism would collapse as its contradictions mounted. In the Green update capitalism will collapse as its pollution mounts. For lots of the hardcore, the solution to environmental problems is a kind of eco-socialism in which nature is not privatized or commodified. This trend in environmentalist thinking might be called commonism.
Looking across the globe, it is the case that various aggregate environmental measures have deteriorated. Since 1992, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) claims [PDF] that biodiversity has declined by 12 percent, 740 million acres of primary forests have been cut down, and 85 percent of the all the fish stocks in the oceans are overexploited, depleted, recovering, or fully depleted. Are environmental calamities the result of rapacious capitalism? Not really. The same report notes that 80 percent of the worlds forests, which harbor the bulk of the worlds biodiversity, are government owned. In most parts of the world, government-owned nets out to owned by no one. Essentially these aspects of nature already exist in the commons for which many environmental commonists are agitating. As Sarah Palin might ask, Hows that working out for you? Not too well if the UNEP data are to be believed.
The fact is that in nearly every place where what most people would regard as an environmental problem is occurring, it is happening in an open access commons. A river is polluted? No one owns it and stands ready to protect it. Forest is being cut? Same problem. Overfishing? Yes. A water shortage? Yes, again. Empirically, calling for the enlargement or re-imposition of a commons with respect to an environmental resource or amenity is tantamount to calling for its slow destruction.
Countries with strong property rights generally see environmental improvement, e.g., air and water pollution are declining, fishery stocks are stable, and forests are expanding. First, because owners protect their resources since they directly suffer the costs and consequences of not doing so. And a second indirect effect is that countries with strong property rights are more prosperous and can thus afford to bear the costs of environmental regulations, even inefficient ones, applied to those environmental commons that still remain.
Looking back the failure of environmentalism as an ideology looks inevitable since has misconstrued the causes of many of the problems to which it claims to have a solution. At the close of the Rio +20 Earth Summit last Friday, environmentalism reached its highwater mark and is now ebbing as a political force internationally. It will be interesting to see in which direction those cherishing a permanent animus against democratic capitalism will go.
Its not crashing. Its changing form and looking at other methods.
Oh, you mean exactly like the "Porkulus package" which went to phony "green energy" companies, labor unions and other thieves right here in the US?
Environmentalists are like watermelons; green on the outside and red on the inside.
You're right ROCKLOBSTER - it's the same...
They may be repackaging, but they have been dealt some serious blows, although I think this article doesn't grasp it. International environmentalism during the time of the Rio conference was primarily coming from rich countries and focusing on developing nations in an effort to keep them from developing. They touted things like eco-tourism of old growth rainforests, instead of industrialization. And of course, global warming, which is made worse by third world aspirations to own their own cars.
What happened in the meantime, is that developing countries said "BS," and developed in their own best interests anyway.
The end result of this new industrialization will also have many positive effects for the enviromnet,as for instance, the 1.3 billion Chinese are leaving the countryside and concentrating themselves in new cities, complete with sewage treatment for the first time, and trash removal. But environmentalists fought this.
"At the close of the Rio +20 Earth Summit last Friday, environmentalism reached its highwater mark and is now ebbing as a political force internationally. It will be interesting to see in which direction those cherishing a permanent animus against democratic capitalism will go."
Which direction?
1. Through onerous regulations and oppressive taxation of any business that has a "high" carbon footprint
2. By advocating as many social entitlements the body politic will allow, thereby bringing about an economic collapse (and duly blamed on those greedy capitalists and "big" corporations)..all in the name of compassion and the "moral duty" to redistribute the wealth, etc.
3. By forcing developed and prosperous nations to severely restrict exploration, acquisition and use of natural resources, especially oil, coal and natural gas.
In other words, they will keep doing what they are doing already.
Maybe you should explain it to someone who doesn't pay an electric bill 300% higher than it was a decade ago as my electric company builds wind farms to replace the coal fired plants they're closing.
Correct-O-Mundo! This environmental movement and U.N. Agenda 21 is a religion. These people will not sleep, will not rest, will not stop in their efforts to control all people using the environment as their shield.
Whether you know it or not, people like THIS are all around you!
The global communist party really doesn't need the enviro-useful idiots anymore. They've just about finished pulling off their global coup. Freedom is toast. Commie style slavery is back in style. The "college students" love it.
Do ya think he got the job because he has an enviro-hip name?
You're right.
The Marxists influence, if not control, every aspect of life in America.
Eco-tourism is incredibly elitist of an economic model. "You must not develop these resources to improve your quality of life, keep it pristine so that the visiting elites can enjoy it, and you'll get enough money to barely survive."
It's worse than colonialism, because the locals don't get the infrastructure or institutions colonization brings. If the eco-tourism fails, the locals have nothing to show for it, and may have lost rights to the natural resources that they previously had.
The addition of highly variable renewable power also drives up the infrastructure costs, because you have to add energy storage, natural gas plants that trigger on demand and smart grid / electronic monitoring to keep the lights on.
I just saw a report that 80% of the stimulus money went overseas.
I assume Michelle spent it shopping.
Or maybe she bought rocket launchers for Mexican drug cartels.
Same thing I guess.
Oh, so I take it that you are a big fan of the Agenda 21 and UN Sustainable Development? That is certainly what your post indicates.
Take it from this habitat restorationist for nearly 25 years: You have no idea what is "good for the environment." What you are describing is both an urban prison and the destruction of topsoil.
China is an anthropogenic landscape and has been for thousands of years. For that entire time, the soil received the minerals that people consumed in vegetation. To suddenly pull the people off that land is a horrible idea. What will grow there? Who will weed it? Or are they going mechanize farming, feed it natural gas, and deplete that soil? How are they going to separate out the toxic minerals from that sewer cake while leaving the trace elements for growing food? What makes you think sewage treatment plants are such a good idea compared to composting. Do you know what the THM in that treated outfall will do to their fisheries?
I promise you, a third, at least of the farms in the American Midwest would blow away and turn to sand in three years without additional ammonia. My take is that the same will happen to China once they've used up what has been built.
Worse, once the people are gathered into cities they are ripe for extermination at the throw of a switch unless they obey. So I take it you are a big fan of tyranny and population control as well.
So I suggest you dispense with the popular whiz-dumb as regards what is "good" and start thinking about what is good for topsoil over the long run. It is the most precious resource on earth.
Typical liberal strategy. "Sustainable development" "Climate change" "Justice" "Hope and Change"
Buzzwords that can mean anything to anybody.
People being crammed into multi level boxes will reduce their quality of life and make them easier for the government to control. Environmentalists aren't fighting this. Using U.N. Agenda 21, they are pushing it. Once you take a good look at the environmental movement you will see that it has nothing to do with ecology or the environment. Those who think so are the pawns in the game ...useful idiots.
Non-farming Americans have no true understanding of the land, other than a logical expectation of cause and effect.
The concept of urban prisons is wonderful, because after all the taxation and denial to the farmers and red-country folk they will not be so generous when it comes to basic survival. Let the truckers stop rolling for 4-7 days in the US and the cities will be in trouble; a disruption in gas/oil will prevent follow on products and food.
I actually look forward to the day that the cities self consume themselves along with their political clout and socialist mentality; only those individuals and the familys on corporate farms shall remain in this vision.
Locally I have the Raisin Valley Land Trust. They play themselves off as local small town folks but they're driven from above and have state and federal help.
They claim to be about protecting the river but they're really about restricting land use. They lure people in with the promise of tax breaks for protecting their own land. Before long the victims discover that they've lost control of their own property with approval required for building and tax penalties imposed for doing so. Try selling property that's virtually off limits and see what its worth.
They want the property but don't want to pay for it so to get rid of it you basically have to let the state have it. This happened to a little half acre woodlot just down the street from me. The owner found that he couldn't cut the trees or do anything with it so he just quit paying the taxes on it.
Another group we're fighting is the Waterkeeper alliance. They're a group founded by Robert Kennedy and are opposed to petty much all human activity from private wells, to farming and logging.
My congressman (Tim Walberg) is sponsoring some good legislation that is a step in the right direction. Its the Defending America's Affordable Energy & Jobs Act. If you have the time, be sure to encourage your congressman to get on board. What it does is takes the decision making out of the hands of the EPA and puts it back in the hands of congress and by extension, we the people.
Damn Cripplecreek, I hoped it would not have to come to that.
I always get Maurice Strong and Charles Ogletree confused, but he is one of Ubama's mentors.
That "logical expectation" sees their farm in isolation from its extended surroundings. It is a logic built upon the purposeful construction of control boundaries that make such constructs practicable. Without them, the control variables would be meaningless. They presume the existence of the farm's supply chain, utilities, and access to fuel. Without them, those models for land management are completely useless. Nor do we maintain the means to adapt, as we would if we had a logical risk management architecture.
From what I have seen of the soil in a lot of these "professionally managed" farms, they don't get it either. Those deep soils in the Midwest were built with grasses. Learning how to reconstruct that pastoral rotation is critical, long term. Although the mineral bases for those soils are enormous because of their geological youth, the amendments they receive are barely beyond what Nelson & Barber called, "the bare economic optimum."
All this education is valid because the people taking it are living it -
"All this education is valid" only under conditions within that presumptive control boundary. That's a "taught ology" my FRiend. The method will only go so long, particularly as we continue to neglect the land outside said boundary. The effects I am talking about are continental in scope, and capable of REAL climate change. Therein is the failure to comprehend how the fires in Colorado affect the sand hills of Nebraska.
In fact, it is my contention that both the Saudi and Sahara deserts are anthropogenic in origin, not by overgrazing, but by assimilating and killing the people who knew how to run it for over 14,000 years. Once Abel was dead, the locusts won, and there was no going back. If you think we're immune now, I've got bad news for you.
I have every confidence you have no idea what I'm talking about.
I actually look forward to the day that the cities self consume themselves along with their political clout and socialist mentality; only those individuals and the familys on corporate farms shall remain in this vision.
Worse, if you think farming will make it without the recombinant technology that keeps us ahead of pests, (wheat rust, for example), or keeps that ammonia truck coming, or brings in the sewer cake, or refines your diesel, or supplies parts for pumps, or pesticides, or electrical power, keeps the satellite data coming in, upgrades your optimization software, negotiates prices, organizes delivery, well, those "professional farmers" you cite have no idea how to make it without that URBAN industrial infrastructure, and you have only to look at the San Joaquin Valley once the delta smelt charade cut off ONLY their water, never mind the rest of that list, to recognize what I mean. Once the dust storms get going, no amount of preparation will protect any of their neighbors.
I'll bet you still don't know what I'm talking about, but believe it or not, this thesis was explained 3,000 years ago, describing a relationship between agro-urban settlers and nomadic pastoralists as coupled to the survival of nations. It predicted the process that led to industrial ag today. And I'm CERTAIN you have no idea what I'm talking about there, as I'm just finishing up my translation of Genesis 4. It doesn't say what everybody thinks it does.
As a matter of historical continuity, would it not be more appropriate to do a "Kyhmer Rouge" - while kneeling alongside a tree, place the side of the prisoner's head against the tree and then use a hammer on the temple.
Saves a bullet, said Pol Pot.
Given the nastiness of Soviet military planning which included using nukes and then three different bacteriological weapons on each targeted cities, I am reminded of "the survivors will envy the dead".
Even if there are sufficient survivors, many before the Great Debacle were so poorly educated and acculturated that continuation of a representative Republic is questionable.
PS Isaiah 5:8 would seem to be critical of much of our present tract home building.

In-form Inverness leapfrogged Hibernian into second place in the SPL on Saturday by beating them 3-0, while struggling County were losing 3-2 at Motherwell to keep them in 10th place without a win in six games.
Caley won 3-1 when the two clubs met in their first SPL derby in October and in the recent William Hill Scottish Cup fourth round meeting in Dingwall they grabbed a dramatic last-gasp equaliser against the 2010 finalists to ensure the sides would lock horns again at the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium.
While all the signals point to a Caley win, Butcher - whose side have lost only once in the last 15 games and have already reached the Scottish Communities League Cup semi-final against Hearts in February - said: "We will give them respect and they deserve that.
"They are a fantastic club. They have come a long way in a short space of time, very much like ourselves, and they have been a credit to themselves in the SPL.
"But it's not about SPL football, it's about the cup and look at their recent history; they have been to a cup final, they have had some terrific results in the cup.
"They are scoring goals, Rocco Quinn is on fire at the moment, and they have good delivery on free-kicks and corners, so they are a threat.
"But having said that, in the two matches against them we have scored three goals in each and we aim to score and win again.
"So everyone is looking forward to it. There have been two crackers and this is the third instalment. There has to be a winner and there has to be a loser so it has the making of another entertaining match.
"There have been so many twists and turns in the previous two matches I'm sure there is going to be more in the third."

This is the culmination of many weeks of hard work. To recap the previous posts on this blog, I found the weighting function used in Santer et al. 2008 to produce synthetic MSU brightness temperature. I applied the function to AR4 climate model data and found it to match the data released by Santer. I've processed all the data into the same choice of spatial averages used by Santer (global, nh, sh, tropics, etc). The 23 models used in this analysis are
BCCR BCM 2.0, CCCMA CGCM 3.2 T47/T63, CNRM CM 3, CSIRO MK 3.0/3.5, GFDL CM 2.0/2.1, GISS AOM/EH/ER, IAP FGOALS 1.0g, INGV ECHAM 4, INM CM 3, IPSL CM 4, MIRCO 3.2 hires/medres, MPI ECHAM 5, MRI CGCM 2.3.2a, NCAR CCSM 3/PCM 1, UKMO HADCM 3/HADGEM 1
There are a total of 53 runs. Santer didn't use BCCR BCM 2.0, INGV ECHAM 4 or GISS AOM or all the runs for all the the other models. The statistical basis of this analysis is based on Santer et al. 2009. Two hypotheses will be tested: H1) The trend in a particular model run is consistent with the trend in the observational data and H2) The multi-model mean trend is consistent with the trend in the observational data. For more details on the statistical test, you can read the paper here. I also used the same method to account for autocorrelation in the residuals.
The statistical test will be applied to MSU channels 2, 4 and 6 which correspond to the lower/mid troposphere and the lower stratosphere, respectively. First, let's look at the 1999-1979 period covered in the Santer period. There are some differences to note.
If you compare this graph to the one in the Santer paper on page 1711, you'll see they largely match up. You'll also notice that the number of runs for each model doesn't match because when I was processing the data, I only chose runs from 20C3M that have a corresponding run in A1B. I calculated the multi-model d* statistic to be 1.27 and 0.58 with degrees of freedom of 22 for both and p-values of 0.23 and 0.57, for UAH and RSS, respectively. Hereafter, every time I quote two identical statistics, like d* or p-values, they refer to UAH first and RSS second. These figures are fairly close to what is reported by Santer (d* = 1.11 and 0.37). Note d*1 in Santer et al. is simply d* here.
What happens if we redo the calculations out to the present (data up to August 2009)? Below we see the model means are significantly higher than the observational trend than they were in the 1979-1999 period.
The d* statistics are 3.49 and 2.01 with, again, 22 degrees of freedom and p-values of 0.002 and 0.056, respectively. At 5% significance the result is that H2 is rejected relative to UAH, but barely slips by with RSS. For H1, the two CCCMA CGCM models, GISS ER runs 4/5 and MIROC 3.2 hires run 1 rejected relative to RSS (or 17% of the model runs). The situation is worse with UAH. The CCCMA models rejected, as well as, GISS AOM, GISS EH 1/2, GISS ER, the two MIROC models, MRI, NCAR CCSM 3 except run 3 and UKMO HADGEM 1 (or 55% of the model runs).
If we consider the globe as a whole, the results are fairly similar.
H2 is still rejected in both data sets with p-values of 0.000 and 0.002. The proportion of H1 rejections are 54.7% and 45.3%. Let's go back to the tropics and look at the middle troposphere.
H2 again is still rejected with p-values of 0.000 and 0.020. The proportion of rejections is 60.4% and 26.4%. The models thus far have taken quite a beating. But what about the stratosphere?
We find very different results. H2 fails to reject at p = 0.063 and 0.218. However, H1 still has a high rejection rate of 47.2% and 34.0%.
How different are the test results when we look from the end of the 20C3M simulation up to the present? A world of difference. Starting with the lower troposphere,
H2 fails to reject at p = 0.159 and 0.208. The proportion rejecting under H1 is 5.7% for both UAH and RSS. For the middle troposphere, we get p = 0.111 and 0.085 with a rejected proportion of 9.4% and 13.2%.
For the stratosphere, p = 0.969 and 0.934 and none of the individual models were rejected.
So what explains these results? Are the models truly consistent with the observed "trend" over the last 9 years? I initially suspected that it was because of the autocorrelation in the regression residuals. I took a look at the AR(1) coefficients for the periods 1979-2009 and 2000–2009. Here's the frequency distribution for both periods.
While the inflation of the standard errors in the second period is less concentrated on the higher side, the standard errors in the observational data on Jan 2000 – Aug 2009 are roughly seven times their values in Jan 1979 – Aug 2009 while their AR(1) coefficients are essentially the same. This failure to reject may simply be weather noise decreasing the power of the test.
UPDATE (9/26) : Chip Knappenberger asked in the comments about the end date of 20C3M. He said he believed they ended in 2000. I thought they had ended in 1999. He was right. Most of the models end in Dec 1999. I re-ran my script for Jan 2001 – Aug 2009 to see how the results are affected. Here's the rub: For the lower troposphere, H2 rejects with p-values of 0.011 and 0.012 for UAH and RSS, respectively. The proportion of H1 rejections is 24.5% for both UAH and RSS. Again, the standard error in the observational estimates is still many times larger than it was in the 1979-1999 period. As I said previously, I think the weather noise in the data over this (relatively) small period of time is seriously degrading the test's ability to perform adequately. Here's a graph of the 2001-2009 period.

Go Here for Current Year–> Portland Halloween Parties, Events, Costumes Contests, Pictures
Halloween-time brings the 4th Anuual PDX Zombie Walk to Portland. There were over 700 people who participated in last year's Zombie-tivities, and Portland is looking to break the Guiness record this year.
Read Portland Zombie Walk Review: Adventures in Zombiedom
From the Zombie Walk Organizers…
My dear flesh eaters:
The Portland zombie walk 2008 will take place on Sunday,October 26th. We will meet as usual in Pioneer Courthouse Square at 4pm exactly.
Please don't arrive too early, I know this seems silly but it takes away something from the shock value of tons of zombies arriving at once. If we can get it figured out at 4pm we'll start collecting signatures for the World Zombie Day record. Please sign the forms, nothing but your name and City, State are required. The route will be posted (also pics and video here) day before or day of walk.
What: A group of people getting together dressed as Zombies roaming Portland in a predetermined route. A sort of flash mob of zombies if you will.
Why: Allows Zombie aficionados to get together and collectively put a strange twist on some other wise ordinary folks day. Imagine shopping downtown or just popping out of the office for a coffee and having to make your way through a crowd of zombies. Meet HOT Zombie guys and gals!
Zombie Walk Rules
1. Use the "haunted house" rule in that you are not to touch anyone.
2. Do not attempt to scare anyone who is not a willing participant. If anyone is freaking out, turn and shamble in the opposite direction. Avoid confrontations!
3. Stay on the sidewalk unless crossing the street. When crossing, it's OK to "break character" and cross quickly. Think fast "New Dawn of the Dead" zombies verses the slower "Old Dawn of the Dead" zombies when crossing the street. Blocking traffic is a crime and anyone doing so could be arrested.
4. No drugs. None. Forget it.
5. No alcohol outside the bars. This will get you a nice fine.
6. No littering, destruction of property, or any other illegal activity. Pretend downtown is your own neighborhood and show the utmost respect. This is something we would like to do every year and we don't want to ruin it. Remember, the media will be watching us (along with the Portland Police) and this event could get world wide news coverage. Let's put on a good show
4pm meet at the square for:
Last minute make-up
Sign in for the World Zombie Day Guinness Record (name and city only)
Thrill The World dancers performance of "Thriller" (again! for the sake of the zombie walk)
More Portland Halloween parties & events here
Portland Halloween Pictures from last year
The Pipeline will be rolling around on Halloween weekend (and the weeked prior) with live pictures, tweets, and possibly video of the events. The easiest way to follow that will be Twitter.com/pdxpipeline

Illinois did their homework, so we have to watch for them cutting off the passing lanes
win or loose…..IU had losing attitude tonight!
Watched this game from CA. What is with your team? No one was looking for Zeller! It's like the the parents of the players and their girlfriends told them, "Don't pass to him! He's a primadonnna!"
Indiana deserved to lose. The team is selfish.
That's embarrassing.
These guys need to toughen up.
Who was it that said IU has the worst inbounds defense in the country? Well, they were right.
That was just awful. Zeller had 6 shots, while Watford and Sheehey had 11 each. Two others had more attempts than Zeller. How does our best player not get the ball? Why are we shooting outside shots when Zeller has 3-4 inches on Illinois' remaining players and much better skills? The last 5 minutes were just so ugly to watch.
So sad.All you Crean lovers he has no offense its all dribble,dribble, dribble no offense in the last 7 or 8 minutes. he can,t x and o it.it,s so sad. There,s a time you need to slow down and play basketball rather than play school yard ball. Tight situations he always comes up short.
speechless-awful-sad. They were just not into it. Wonder why.
OMG! WE JUST LOST THE NATIONAL TITLE! Wait, what?
99% of the people who are about to post: Shut. The. Hell. Up. IU may have lost the Big Ten Title tonight, but that is it. They are still the most complete team in the country (Kansas lost to TCU! last night) (Florida lost to Arkansas!) who is capable of winning it all. Seriously overreaction, Batman (men?). They'll bounce back. They have all year.
It's the same old story–the opposition goes on a second half run, and Tom Crean refuses to call a timeout, abandoning his team in the process. Crean is a great recruiter, but a lousy game coach. When the game goes south, CALL A TIMEOUT MR. CREAN.
I have now surrendered and am joining the "Crean can't Coach" contingent. Up by 8 with 3 minutes to go and nothing but 3s and 2 point jump shots with one layup (that worked…what a surprise) against a team that can't match up against our size. Zeller barely touches the ball against a team that has no one who can match up with him. If it's because the players didn't do what Crean told them to do, that's a coaching problem. If they were doing what he wanted them to do, that's a coaching problem.
Elmo has joined the list of trolls. "Crean-lovers?" How about Hoosier fans? By the way, learn how to write or learn how to type before posting more of your troll drivel.
Add iulongago to the list. Lol. You'd think we are 15-9 and 3-7 in the Big Ten, not 20-3 and 8-2.
It just didn't look like IU was ready for this game. Looks like they didn't have their hearts or their heads in this game.
The best team didn't win, but the winner of the game was the best team on the floor tonight.
Sure am glad Crean can recruit, cause he is not much of a game coach
I have to agree that this one is on CC. Hollowell hits 2 3-pointers in a row and is pulled from the game and never returns, and then UI's starting center fouls out of the game and IU doesn't run it's offense from CZ. Finally, IU has 3 time outs left with 0.9 seconds, and CC doesn't call a time out after IU sees how UI is going to set up for the inbounds play. Veeeerry disappointing…now IU has to beat OSU at home or else IU drops from #1 to outside the Top 10. Uhg!
Good Time,
I can agree with that. IU did not play that well tonight, nor was Illinois the best team. Is it frustrating to lose this game? Yes. Does it piss me off as a Hoosier fan who has a douchebag Illini half-brother? Yes. If I (we) are this upset about losing the game, how pissed off are the Hoosiers? Tom (I apparently cannot coach out of a paper bag) Crean will motivate these guys for Sunday against Ohio State, and they'll motivate themselves. Did Oladipo become one of the best players in the country without self-motivation over the years? No. They'll get pissed off, they'll get mean. They may NOT win Sunday, but they'll come out with heart and give close to 100% effort.
PSYCH–I'm happy to be added to the list. If you think past performance isn't an indicator of future behavior, then you've been reading one perspectus too many. This is a pattern and teams that are well coached and play 40 minutes beat us. Those are the teams they are going to see in the NCAA Tournament and they have seen plenty of evidence as to how to beat IU. Crean and his staff must either start doing something different in games (which they haven't done) or Yes…this team isn't winning the National Championship. Good coaches with good teams will know exactly what to do. In fact, there's no need to wait for the NCAA. At MSU, OSU, Minn, and Mich will probably show everyone what this team and coaching staff can do.
Indiana already beat Minnesota, Michigan, and Michigan State. They have not faced Ohio State yet this year. What the hell is your point, exactly?
Beside the Butler game (I hate hate hate losing to in state teams), I took this loss hard. My point is this. Had we took care of the ball earlier in the game, we could have cruised. Very sloppy. It improved in the 2nd half, but we left a lot of points on the table.
Though my question is this: Did Cody just have one of those "duh" moments, or was their a miscommunication so e where else among the team? Obviously, the last shot was as if we was playing Monopoly, and they cashed in a "get out of jail" card.
Frustrated. Victor looked out of element. Easily Watford's best effort. Hollowell is improving. Just, dang…. Illinois? Groce can coach. He will do well there, as much as I hate to admit it.
Didn't play Remy enough. Could have used his scrappiness in the final minutes.
Ola-(bleep)-o! Ball should have been in Yogi's hands for our last possession.
Didn't Armon Bassett play for Groce?
Geoff- Prediction Update: You're only one loss away from your prediction of four total losses this season.
Absolutely terrible endgame management. IU with the ball and an 8 point lead with 3:00 to play, and the team shoot the ball immediately. They get the rebound, and then they shoot it again, immediately. What in god's name is that?
Terrible turnover by Vic with the clock winding down, terrible inbounds defense, terrible overall play by Watford. I'm not watching any more road games this year, period, unless its Nebraska.
You that cosmic justice for the Eric Gordon Bank Shot was coming sooner or later, and there you have it.
Very frustrated. That's all I can say I could say more, but no use to post vulgarity. What happened at the end?
Have to agree with iulongago and higgi…either they are not listening to the coaches or the coaches are not coaching well. Should not have been so quick to shoot the long outside shot so quickly with 3 minutes left and ahead by a handful. PLay steady and let the team that's down play desperate, foul you, and sink the free throws which IU can do. I think IU may have run out of timeouts, remember hearing the announcer say it was IU's last one with some small amount of time left. IU looked lost on the inbounds play, not moving.
As I said "AT" those places. We've beaten them at home but you win the Big 10 on the road and the tournament is on neutral courts. At Illinois shouldn't be a loss. What's going to happen when they play good teams at their place or at neutral sites? That's my point.
I hope they win but they haven't proven that they can do that sort of thing against good teams outside of Bloomington (except for Georgetown on a neutral court). By the way, my disappointment is directed toward the coaches. This team should be better than this down the stretch at home (Wisconsin) on a neutral court (Butler) and on the road (Illinois). I really don't want to get into a back and forth argument. This is just what I see and believe.

From Booklist
Slater Ellis is driving up a remote New Mexico canyon when he stumbles upon a naked teenage boy with a number tattooed on his forehead. Meanwhile, on Florida's Gulf Coast, thirtysomething Paige Stephens picks up her phone and overhears her husband, a genetics researcher, committing suicide. Slater and Paige eventually connect as they penetrate the mystery of the "Institute," a shadowy, quasi-military operation hidden in the New Mexico mountains. The Institute is headed by one Peter Van Klees, a genetics professor who hides behind the good works of a world relief organization to divert fetal tissue from abortion clinics to his DNA research. The feral boy, who turns out to be three identical boys, is a product of that research. When Slater learns of Paige's abduction--into the Institute's macabre maternity ward, where she is impregnated with an experimental fetus--he rescues her and destroys the Institute, but only after he's captured and tortured in a series of visceral scenes. The versatile Brouwer, author of two atypical westerns, has turned in a white-hot performance. On one level, Double Helix is much like a James Bond adventure, complete with Fleming's dour humor; readers may also be reminded of Wells' Island of Dr. Moreau. But additionally, Brouwer vivifies the moral problems DNA research poses and connects them with another red-flag issue, abortion. Word's huge print run suggests confidence in Brouwer's potential to cross over from the Christian market to the mainstream, and they may be right: with impressive control and no preachiness, he has written a scary, maniacal novel. John Mort
Double Helix revolves around Peter Van Klees, a genetics professor turned entrepreneur. With the support of key military leaders, Van Klees maintains several identities as well as a top secret "Institute" where he is free to carry his most daring experiments to completion. But Paige Stephens, searching for answers to her husband's mysterious death, and Slater Ellis, intrigued by unexplainable events near a top secret military base, stumble into Van Klees' web of deceit and cannot forget what they know. Their persistent questioning leads them to shocking conclusions about the Institute, but proving their suspicions may require the sacrifice of their own lives. -- Midwest Book Review

This Week's Hits: iPhone SIM Cards, Rakuten's New Language, Koshien
A recap of the most-read posts on Japan Real Time this week.
1. Business has been humming along at Softbank Corp. in large part thanks to the frenzy surrounding Apple Inc.'s iPhone. As the exclusive carrier of the gadgets made by the house of Jobs, the view from Softbank offices has been clear of trouble and full of subscribers. But is there a fly in the ointment in the form of a three-letter acronym: S-I-M? A small telecom services company plans to release a new SIM card that would allow users the pleasure of owning the coveted smartphone without signing a Softbank contract.
2. McDonald's may not lead the charge against trans fats anytime soon, but the largest fast food chain in Japan is set to take up the anti-smoking baton. Customers will soon have to choose between fries or smokes as McDonald's starts to implement non-smoking policies at over a thousand new or renovated outlets nationwide over the next several years.
3. What a great calcium-rich milk – strengthen bones, eliminating annoying. How do you like with bread? Or more like "huh?" Welcome to online retailer Rakuten Inc.'s employee cafeteria where such stilted signs are part of the company's growing pains in connection with its bold decision to adopt English as its primary in-house language.
4. It's August and in the world of Japanese sports that means only one thing: Koshien, the national high school summer baseball tournament and the country's quintessential sporting event.
5. More countries were represented at the annual peace ceremony in Hiroshima this year than ever before commemorating the 65th anniversary of the world's first atomic bombing, including a first time appearance by a U.S. representative. But the unprecedented attendance didn't go far enough for survivors.

Canada Stocks to Watch: Churchill, Royal Host, Newalta, High River and More
By Judy McKinnon
Listed below are some of the stocks we expect to move in trading Thursday.
Churchill said it cut its workforce by 20% in late September, which together with cost-management initiatives, is expected to result in cost savings of C$4-C$6 million annually. It also said it expects 2012 EBITDA of C$37-C$42 million and is guiding for 2013 EBITDA to be "materially higher" than 2012, though likely below current analyst estimates of C$73 million.
NovaGold Resources said its third-quarter loss narrowed to 8 Canadian cents a share from 22 Canadian cents.
Royal Host lowered its RevPAR projections for its comparable hotels and now expects third-quarter RevPAR to be flat, its fourth quarter RevPAR to decline year-over-year and its full-year RevPAR growth to be flat to down 1.0%.
Newalta said it plans to sell 5 million shares at C$14 each to raise C$70 million.
High River Gold Mines said third-quarter gold production is expected to be down about 6% from a year earlier, hurt by lower production at the Taparko and Buryatzoloto mines. However, it confirmed its production view for the year of 345,000-365,000 ounces.
Gasfrac Energy Services said it has cut staff in an effort to cut costs. It also said it expects third-quarter revenue of about C$40 million.
DragonWave said its fiscal second-quarter loss narrowed as revenue improved and a gain from its recent acquisition of Nokia Siemens Networks' microwave transport business boosted results. It also said Chairman Gerry Spencer is stepping down for family reasons.

Looking for a Used Pilot in your area?
CarGurus has 15,867 nationwide Pilot listings starting at $2,300.
2004 Honda Pilot Overview
In 2004, all Honda vehicles came with a seatbelt warning light. The 2004 Pilot EX model with leather seats also had seat warmers installed. All Pilots now have an improved navigation system as well as clearer access to the rear seats.
In addition to the quality and dependability we expect from Honda, the 2004 Pilot is a very comfortable ride that's easy to maneuver in any traffic and/or weather conditions. Part of the beauty of this vehicle is its unibody construction in combination with an independent 4-wheel suspension system. This allows it to feel more like you're driving a car, instead of a big van. Still, consumer ratings for this vehicle are about 9.0 / 10.0.
Even though most of the Pilots are well stocked with many added features, the more accessories you want, the more they will affect the price. Therefore there's a wide range in pricing for the 2004 Pilot from around $17,000 to $29,000.
As for safety, the Pilot scored 5 out of a possible 5 stars in both front and side crash tests conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. In addition, the 2004 Pilot has front side airbags, though curtain side airbags in the back are still not available.

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to present research dedicated to the elaboration of novel, miniaturized flexible temperature sensors for textronic applications. Examined sensors were manufactured on a single yarn, which ensures their high flexibility and good compatibility with textiles. Stable and linear characteristics were obtained by special technological process and applied temperature profiles. As a thermo-sensitive materials the innovative polymer compositions filled with multiwalled carbon nanotubes were used. Elaborated material was adapted to printing and dip-coating techniques to produce NTC composites. Nanotube sensors were free from tensometric effect typical for other carbon-polymer sensor, and demonstrated TCR of 0.13%/K. Obtained temperature sensors, compatible with textile structure, can be applied in rapidly developing smart textiles and be used for health and protections purposes.

Juniper still refused to help me with removing the fee and said I could receive another fee if don't bring the balance under the credit limit within 20 days. Hence, I am making sure my payments are brought my account current.
However, the customer service department and supervisors were not helpful in the least and did not even consider my position. They were very adamant about that they could only remove a fee if it was in error. They do not care if you are a customer with them for 10 years and never had a late payment.
Also, this company has multiple complaints about assessing late fees and over the limit fees and not reversing the charges or working with the consumer to correct the problem. I feel this problem is getting out of hand and needs to be addressed with the company if possible.

- You obviosly have no idea how credit cards work. You admit you went over the credit limit but for some reason because you were "not aware" that you did you feel that they should not hold you to the terms of your account. As an experiment I suggest you try to use this "I was not aware" excuse in your every day activities.
Perhaps you should speed down the freeway not even looking at your speedometer. Then when the cop stops you just let them know you were "unaware" you were going that fast. Or better yet don't even look at your gas gauge and when your car runs out of gas call the dealer you got the car from and tell them that you should not have to pay for the gas because you were "unaware" that you were about to run out.
Oh wait..you are probably saying to yourself that is dumb, of course you should look at your speedometer and your gas gauge. So then why would looking at how much YOU are spending to be sure you don't go over the limit be any different?
I'll just let you think about that one for a while...
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Changes to IRS's Schedule K-1 Document Matching Program Burdened Compliant Taxpayers
GAO-03-667: Published: May 30, 2003. Publicly Released: Jul 9, 2003.
Additional Materials:

(202) 512-5594
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
About $1 trillion in income was distributed in 2001 by flow-through entities such as partnerships and trusts. These entities do not pay taxes on flow-through income. They report it to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on a Schedule K-1 and their partners or beneficiaries pay any tax. Concerned about underreporting, IRS began matching the flow-through income reported on Schedule K-1s with that reported on individuals' returns. In 2002, IRS began sending notices to taxpayers about suspected noncompliance. After complaints that many notices were going to compliant taxpayers, IRS stopped sending notices. Concerned about the burden, Congress asked GAO to, among other things, (1) describe the burden caused by the notices and IRS's rationale for stopping them, (2) assess IRS's management of the program, and (3) describe the steps IRS will take to address any problems.
IRS stopped issuing Schedule K-1 notices after complaints about the burden the program imposed on compliant taxpayers. Originally, IRS intended to focus the program on two categories of income--interest and dividends--wherein matching was straightforward, and therefore the number of notices sent to compliant taxpayers could be minimized. However IRS changed the matching program to cover additional categories of flow-through income without clearly informing taxpayers and tax preparers. Matching these additional categories of income was less straightforward. As a result, IRS sent notices about suspected noncompliance to more compliant taxpayers than it intended. In fact, about two-thirds of the notices were sent to taxpayers later determined to be compliant. After taxpayers complained, and after sending out about 70 percent of the planned notices, IRS responded by stopping the notices. IRS has assessed about $41.4 million in additional tax from the notices that were sent and approximately $26.9 million was directly attributable to Schedule K-1 underreporting. IRS did not timely implement two parts of the plans for managing the Schedule K-1 matching program. First, IRS did not test the feasibility of focusing the program on interest and dividend income until after recommending such a focus and communicating the recommendation to taxpayers, preparers, and other stakeholders. Second, after changing the plan, IRS did not clearly communicate the changes. IRS is taking steps to improve communications and reduce the burden on compliant taxpayers. However, neither IRS nor GAO knows whether these changes will improve communications and reduce burden while maintaining the effectiveness of the Schedule K-1 matching program as a compliance tool.

Specificity and mechanism of action of some commonly used protein kinase inhibitors
The specificities of 28 commercially available compounds reported to be relatively selective inhibitors of particular serine/threonine-specific protein kinases have been examined against a large panel of protein kinases. The compounds KT 5720, Rottlerin and quercetin were found to inhibit many protein kinases, sometimes much more potently than their presumed targets, and conclusions drawn from their use in cell-based experiments are likely to be erroneous. Ro 318220 and related bisindoylmaleimides, as well as H89, HA1077 and Y 27632, were more selective inhibitors, but still inhibited two or more protein kinases with similar potency. LY 294002 was found to inhibit casein kinase-2 with similar potency to phosphoinositide (phosphatidylinositol) 3-kinase. The compounds with the most impressive selectivity profiles were KN62, PD 98059, U0126, PD 184352, rapamycin, wortmannin, SB 203580 and SB 202190. U0126 and PD 184352, like PD 98059, were found to block the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade in cell-based assays by preventing the activation of MAPK kinase (MKK1), and not by inhibiting MKK1 activity directly. Apart from rapamycin and PD 184352, even the most selective inhibitors affected at least one additional protein kinase. Our results demonstrate that the specificities of protein kinase inhibitors cannot be assessed simply by studying their effect on kinases that are closely related in primary structure. We propose guidelines for the use of protein kinase inhibitors in cell-based assays.

I have a very small wordpress site that has about 15 posts and 6 pages, all plugins disabled, everything else untouched. As soon as I connect it to the database (by entering the right info in the config.php file) it uses 100% of my server's cpu.
Things I have tested:
I have deleted the plugins from the site and deleted the posts and pages one by one, even with no content on the site it still uses 100%
I have exported the site, made a new database and imported it, connected the site to the new database - it uses 100% again.
I have made a fresh wordpress install and connected it to the database - 100%.
I have a lot of other sites on the server, the moment I disconnect this site (by removing the config.php) it goes to 2% load, there is no heavy traffic and there is no problem with anything else on the server
I tried looking at the database in phpmyadmin and running repair and optimise commands, but no effect.
I am unable to get more info about the running processes. I asked my web host guys who first said that xmlrpc.php was running a lot of processes but after I disabled (and then deleted) that file I was told that 'There are several processes running the following: index.php' which doesn't really help I think.
My next plan is to copy/paste the posts one by one into a clean install, but does anyone have any suggestions before that? I can't provide a link as I have to take the site offline as it affects the other sites on my server.
cheers, Jake
