A new study appears in Nature today that attempts to model the regional temperature effects of global warming during coming decades. As I will get into in a moment, it should concern anyone who wants serious action on global warming.
Long-term, the models all find that the North Atlantic region has warmed by 2 to 4 Celsius degrees by the year 2050. But in the short term, during the next decade, there are far different effects. Study author Noel Keenlyside and his colleagues write:
Our results suggest that global surface temperature may not increase over the next decade, as natural climate variations in the North Atlantic and tropical Pacific temporarily offset the projected anthropogenic warming.
The image below shows the three possible trends in northern Europe winter temperatures from 1996 to 2050, as forecast by a climate model, for three different but plausible initial conditions:
If the climate scientists are correct, this should concern environmentalists and those would like to see Western societies lead efforts to address and mitigate the effects of future warming.
Why? Because at the very time the Western world will need to implement changes that will address global warming, cities such as London, Paris, Berlin and Washington, D.C. could have relatively moderate weather.
The climate scientists will interpret this as a hiccup in the recent warming trend, and find explanations (such as a slowing Thermohaline circulation) but it's hard to see the general public interpreting all the nuances.
Bill McKibben, an environmentalist who wrote one of the first global warming books 20 years ago, recently visited Houston and I asked him about the upcoming paper. Here was his response:
People's natural confusion of weather and climate is one of the things that makes this hard. I haven't seen the study yet. My guess is that, when we hit the next El Nino, that the background level of warming we've now got, added onto an El Nino boost, should really be enough to set new global records, and make people take notice. But you're right, if it's a tough winter in Washington, that makes a difference. One of the things in 1988, when (James) Hansen was talking, it was 100 degrees right outside the hearing room and it had been for two weeks. It does make it tougher.
If such a moderation in temperature trends does persist in the North Atlantic, it will provide ammunition for skeptics, to be sure, and probably will mire down efforts to craft a reasonable policy to address global warming.
But I would add this: if the rest of the world does warm during the next decade, while the Atlantic cools, then it will in my mind validate the computer models — the same computer models now predicting dramatic and near-catastrophic warming by century's end.

Gottlieb the traitorSunday, April 14th, 2013
He's always been … well, I'd rather not say the words. Earlier this year he was willing to sell out Washington state gun owners. He failed at that.
But he's just backed the sell-out Manchin-Toomey bill.
Oh yeah, look at all the "benefits" it's going to give gun owners. It's like putting warm "showers" in the concentration camps.
I am absolutely frosted and flabbergasted by political activists and lobbyists who don't understand how government really works.
ADDED: 'Nother loving appreciation of Gottlieb from Rivrdog.
And more. It appears Gottlieb's not only misrepresenting both current and proposed law, but may have had his staffers help write the &^%$##@! bill.
Unspeakable. Un&^%$#ingspeakable.

Goethe first considered a composition on the subject of what later became his Novelle as an epic poem, along the lines of Hermann und Dorothea, and in 1797 drafted a sketch that has not survived. The working title "Die Jagd" ("The Hunt") might have been richly ambiguous, but, as Goethe may have felt, misleading. Schiller encouraged him, but Wilhelm von Humboldt spoke disparagingly of the project, which Goethe did not take up again for another nineteen years, his interest then having perhaps been rekindled by his reading of James Fenimore Cooper's The Pioneers; or The Sources of the Susquehanna in the summer of 1826. (In Cooper's novel the predator that is killed to protect a lady is a female panther.) …

PlayStation 2 owners had great hopes for Killzone in late 2004. Whether or not Sony ever mentioned Killzone in the same breath as Halo doesn't matter. For PS2 gamers this was to be the game that ended Bungie's reign as console FPS king, so when the game was released on a wave of disappointing review scores there was an industry wide sigh. Sony, the dominant force in console gaming, simply couldn't produce a must-own FPS. Resistance has filled the gap on the PS3, even if we weren't exactly blown away by the recent sequel, but ever since that famous E3 video in May 2005 there's only been one FPS PS3 gamers wanted to see: Killzone 2 is riding on a wave of hype that would flatten the original game, so a let down this time will probably end the series for good.
That might seem overly negative, but Guerrilla, the Dutch developer that's become a key part of Sony's European development, really has to deliver this time. So far the only game of note to come from the studio is the PSP game Killzone: Liberation, so there's a definite sense that Killzone 2 is far from a guaranteed triple-A title. The pressure must be immense, and with the game coming out in February, it's likely to set the tone for 2009. So, after spending a whole afternoon with a work in progress build, just how is it shaping up?
First things first. You've probably seen screenshots and online videos of the game in action, but nothing prepares you for how good Killzone 2 looks. We got a glimpse of what Guerrilla was capable of with its frame-rate challenged PS2 original, but here it seems it's had the time to show just what the PS3 can do. Compared to other PS3 heavy hitters, like Resistance 2, it's as if we've entered a new generation. Whereas Insomniac's fun shooter at times felt rather run of the mill in design and quality, Killzone 2 drips with detail and depth. No matter where you look there's something to marvel at - be it a subtle smoke effect, realistically subdued lighting or a near photo realistic expanse of water.
We reckon Gears of War 2 is easily the best looking shooter currently available for consoles, but Killzone 2 has that beaten from what we've seen. Apart from what can only be described as a slight softness, this is the closest we've come to any game matching the wow factor we got from playing Crysis and its semi-sequel Warhead. Incredible blur effects are a key component, bathing the game in a CGI quality varnish that will take some beating.
A special mention must also go to the audio, with the game including some of the meatiest sounding weapons ever to grace a shooter. Having played Killzone 2 for hours we loaded up a few old favourites for comparison, and weapons that had felt solid now felt disappointingly feeble. The guns in Killzone 2 have a kick that will give your eardrums a battering if you've got an impressive sound setup. Voice work for your squad mates is apparently placeholder, but on the whole it's still impressive, with plenty of profanities flying across the battlefield.

A team of students, faculty and researchers from the University of Kansas performed a successful flight test of the Meridian UAV on Friday, Aug. 28, at Fort Riley, Kan. The Meridian is an 1100-pound unmanned aircraft with a 26-foot wingspan that was piloted by remote control. Meridians mission will be to gather data on the ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland for the NSF Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS), headquartered at KU. The innovative aircraft has been almost five years in the making under the direction of CReSIS Autonomous Platforms team leader Richard Hale, an associate professor of Aerospace Engineering. The aircraft, which was designed and built at KU, will help researchers to compile better data by allowing flight passes at slower speeds and lower altitudes above the icy terrain, flights that might be too dangerous for human pilots.

Excerpt from Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian. This is the scene where the Judge and his companions are resting around a camp fire. Judge Holden gives his view on war (awesome speech!): "The good book says that he that lives by the sword shall perish by the sword, said the black. The judge smiled, his face shining with grease. What right man would have it any other way? he said. The good book does indeed count war an evil, said Irving. Yet there's many a bloody tale of war inside it. It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge. War endures. As well ask men what they think of stone. War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner. That is the way it was and will be. That way and not some other way. He turned to Brown, from whom he'd heard some whispered slur or demurrer. Ah, Davy, he said. It's your own trade we honor here. Why not rather take a small bow. Let each acknowledge each. My trade? Certainly. What is my trade? War. War is your trade. Is it not? And it ain't yours? Mine too. Very much so. What about all them notebooks and bones and stuff? All other trades are contained in that of war. Is that why war endures? No. It endures because young men love it and old men love it in them. Those that fought, those that did not. That's your notion. The judge smiled. Men are born for games. Nothing else. Every child knows that play is nobler than work. He knows too that the worth or merit of a game ...

The American Novel Since 1945 (ENGL 291) In this second lecture on Blood Meridian, Professor Hungerford builds a wide-ranging argument about the status of good and evil in the novel from a small detail, the Bible the protagonist carries with him in spite of his illiteracy. This detail is one of many in the text that continually lure us to see the kid in the light of a traditional hero, superior to his surroundings, developing his responses in a familiar narrative structure of growth. McCarthy's real talent, and his real challenge, Hungerford argues, is in fact to have invoked the moral weight of his sources--biblical, literary, and historical--while emptying them of moral content. Much as the kid holds the Bible an object and not a spiritual guide, McCarthy seizes the material of language--its sound, its cadences--for ambiguous, if ambitious, ends. Complete course materials are available at the Open Yale Courses website: open.yale.edu This course was recorded in Spring 2008.
The American Novel Since 1945 (ENGL 291) In this first of two lectures on Blood Meridian, Professor Hungerford walks us through some of the novel's major sources and influences, showing how McCarthy engages both literary tradition and American history, and indeed questions of origins and originality itself. The Bible, Moby-Dick, Paradise Lost, the poetry of William Wordsworth, and the historical narrative of Sam Chamberlain all contribute to the style and themes of this work that remains, in its own right, a provocative meditation on history, one that explores the very limits of narrative and human potential.

Director Brian Levi Bowman has released a new short film entitled Meridian which features the Tycho track Daydream. All credit goes to Brian Levi Bowman The philosophy of materialism holds that the only thing that can be truly proven to exist is matter. Fundamentally, material composes all things and all phenomena are the result of material interactions; therefore, matter is the only substance and can neither be created or destroyed. Hence, we are all made of only what came before us yet discretely conceived through form; we are all made of earth and sky and stars. Meridian uses time lapse footage coupled with a live action environment to describe the material connection between the ethereal universe and human perception. Featuring the track "The Daydream" by the ambient artist Tycho, star-scapes intersect a city and a female protagonist in the process of discovery within the context of ordinary life. www.brianlevibowman.com myspace.com

STATEMENT: CAP's Carmel Martin and Campus Progress Director Anne Johnson on Today's Senate Votes on Student-Loan Bills
Contact: Katie Peters
Phone: 202.741.6285
Email: email@example.com
Washington, D.C. — Today Carmel Martin, Executive Vice President for Policy at the Center for American Progress, and Anne Johnson, Director of Campus Progress, responded to the Senate's failure to pass either the Student Loan Affordability Act, introduced by Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI), or the Comprehensive Student Loan Protection Act, introduced by Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK).
Sen. Reed's proposal won a 51-46 majority but couldn't reach the 60-vote threshold needed to break a Republican filibuster. Sen. Coburn's proposal failed by a 40-57 vote, including five Republicans who voted against it. The Center for American Progress and Campus Progress recently released a column that outlines these and other current student-loan proposals before Congress.
Carmel Martin released the following statement:
As the clock ticks down on the July 1 deadline, it is imperative that Congress acts swiftly to find a solution that protects students from unmanageable debt. The two proposals the Senate voted on today were in stark contrast. Sen. Coburn's proposal seeks to pay down the deficit at the expense of students and does not include a cap on the interest rate charged, leaving students vulnerable to rate spikes down the road. Sen. Reed's proposal extends current rates for two years and is paid for by eliminating wasteful tax loopholes. Congress still has time to find a solution that lowers interest rates and does not tax students to pay down the deficit, but it must come together and act now.
Anne Johnson, Director of Campus Progress, released the following statement:
On Wednesday we led hundreds of students to lobby Congress by meeting with their senators and urge them to keep these rates low and continue their commitment to college affordability. Today's votes in the Senate are a reminder that our work is not yet done and we will continue to make the voices of young Americans and their families heard. Last year, an extension of student-loan rates passed the Senate with overwhelming bipartisan support, and it was disappointing to see some senators switch their vote. As the economy continues to recover, too many students and families are struggling with student debt and action must be taken. We need Congress to come together to pass a bill that will protect today's college students and the millions more in generations ahead.

NEW YORK — This is one of those Grammy years when there are plenty of strong candidates, but no real front-runner.
Here's a look at how the top categories will likely (and should) shake out:
Record of the Year
The Black Keys, "Lonely Boy"
Kelly Clarkson, "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)"
fun., featuring Janelle Monae, "We Are Young"
Gotye, "Somebody That I Used to Know"
Frank Ocean, "Thinkin' 'Bout You"
Taylor Swift, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together"
WILL WIN: "We Are Young." Being upbeat and youth-oriented should give it the edge over Gotye.
SHOULD WIN: "We Are Young." Structurally and thematically, it doesn't feel like a pop song. But it's so catchy and so well-crafted, it acts like one.
Album of the Year
The Black Keys, "El Camino"
fun., "Some Nights"
Mumford & Sons, "Babel"
Frank Ocean, "Channel Orange"
Jack White, "Blunderbuss"
WILL WIN: "El Camino." The Black Keys are worthy Grammy darlings and "El Camino" deserves the attention as a crowning achievement in the duo's blues-rock sound. This category is so high-quality, though, strong arguments can be made for all of them to win.
SHOULD WIN: "Channel Orange." Frank Ocean's reinvention of R&B is a wonder. It shows hip can also carry intellectual heft.
Song of the Year
Ed Sheeran, "The A Team"
Miguel, "Adorn"
Carly Rae Jepsen, "Call Me Maybe"
Kelly Clarkson, "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)"
fun., featuring Janelle Monae, "We Are Young"
WILL WIN: "We Are Young." Grammy voters seem to have some misplaced doubts about Jepsen's future.
SHOULD WIN: "We Are Young." While "Call Me Maybe" may be the most memorable song of the year, the fun. song is much more interesting.
Best New Artist
Alabama Shakes
Hunter Hayes
The Lumineers
Frank Ocean
WILL WIN: fun. The New York trio's ambitious combination of Queen, emo and pop will charm the voters. Of course, this category is traditionally cray, so don't rule out Hunter Hayes or Alabama Shakes.
SHOULD WIN: Frank Ocean. It may sound like hyperbole, but Ocean may really turn out to be this generation's Prince.
Best Pop Vocal Album
Kelly Clarkson, "Stronger"
Florence & the Machine, "Ceremonials"
fun., "Some Nights"
Maroon 5, "Overexposed"
Pink, "The Truth About Love"
WILL WIN: "Some Nights"

Rock Album
The Black Keys, "El Camino"
Coldplay, "Mylo Xyloto"
Muse, "The 2nd Law"
Bruce Springsteen, "Wrecking Ball"
Jack White, "Blunderbuss"
WILL WIN: "El Camino." The Grammy voters are eager to introduce the Black Keys to a broad audience as winners.

Best Alt. Music Album
Fiona Apple, "The Idler Wheel ..."
Björk, "Biophilia"
Gotye, "Making Mirrors"
M83, "Hurry Up, We're Dreaming"
Tom Waits, "Bad as Me"

Best Rap Album
Drake, "Take Care"
Lupe Fiasco, "Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album, Part 1"
Nas, "Life Is Good"
The Roots, "Undun"
Rick Ross, "God Forgives, I Don't"
2 Chainz, "Based on a T.R.U. Story"
WILL WIN: "Take Care." It was a surprise that this didn't make it into the album of the year category.
SHOULD WIN: "Take Care." Drake's mix of hip-hop, dance and pop is a sleek winner, packed with likable hits.
Best Country Album
Zac Brown Band, "Uncaged"
Hunter Hayes, "Hunter Hayes"
Jamey Johnson, "Living for a Song: A Tribute to Hank Cochran"
Miranda Lambert, "Four the Record"
Time Jumpers, "The Time Jumpers"

FIFA Manager 09
The new footie season is well and truly upon us, full of the usual fun and games with players misbehaving, referees failing, clubs going out of business, and other clubs getting ridiculous sums of money. Who'd be a manager at this time, eh?
Well if you're interested in this game, apparently you would - and the game does exactly what it says on the tin, allowing you to be a manager in any of FIFA's leagues around the world, including, of course, the English Premier League (I'm sure some of the leagues available must never get played, but it gives completeness).
When starting the game, you actually get a choice of how many leagues you want to involve, along with an estimate of how well your computer can cope - in the end I went for all the English leagues, with a smattering of the top Continental leagues, for European competitions. I was told that my computer would "struggle" with this many leagues, but it didn't, so don't pay too much attention to that warning.
With that, you can then choose your profile - your age, favourite team, favourite player, foreign languages you speak, upload a real photo of yourself to display - even customise your family and upload photos of them (real or otherwise). Then it is on to choosing which club you want to play.
Of course, there are a number of ways to play any football management sim - take one of the top clubs and duke it out for the title, take a club from the bottom of the league and take them to the top, or choose a club you actually support and see how you would do in their manager's shoes. It depends on what you want out of the game really, but the experience is little different from any similar game.
You then choose what you actually want to be responsible for. There are a few pre-set options you can take - if you are the manager, you sort out tactics, who plays, etc, but transfer and finance is out of your hands (controversial these days of course). Or you can be the manager and Director - in this case you run literally everything, from negotiating sponsors to building additions to the club's facilities. Of course, no one person could seriously manage all that in real life, but it is fun to try. You can then customise your role, by ticking or unticking boxes next to what you want to do. It depends on how much time you want to sink into the game.
Once you've chosen all that, it's time to dive into some football! Well, not quite. The game starts you off at the start of July - right at the end of the previous season - and each day you have important decisions to make. You need to sort your transfers out, train your team up for the coming season (but not too hard), send them on training camps, hire the right staff to have around you, chat to the press, promise and/or threaten your players, promise and/or threaten your board, promise and/or threaten opposing managers (not really)... the list goes on. It's all key to the coming season. Each day can easily take a fair few minutes, more if you want to really think about what you're doing - before too long an hour has passed and you're not even into pre-season friendlies yet. But at least this lull gives you time to practice your golf and your sailing (yes, really).
Your first match, once you get there, will be quite exciting. The game shows off in glorious 3D, and you get to watch your players run around kicking the ball and the opposing team. The graphical simulation is hardly FIFA 09 or PES standard, but it is passable, and the players are recognisable, if a bit jerky in their movements - more like one of the FIFA games from the late '90s if anything. But if you zoom out you can get a feel for how your tactics are going, which is useful information to take with you into the half-time talk.
However, after a few of these games the novelty starts to wear off watching each match, and you start skipping through a few. But then the worry comes that you aren't giving the team the attention it needs by seeing how your tactics are working and seeing where extra training is required. And the full season has barely started! Also, your significant other starts sending you emails about how you never spend any time together any more, and there seems to be no way to make her happy (yes this is, believe it or not, all in the game). I couldn't find a way to placate my girlfriend unfortunately, and in the end I dumped her before she could dump me. Luckily there weren't any kids to argue over.
Anyway, back on the pitch my team was making a good start to the season (as I had chosen a high-quality club for my first attempt) and all was well. Sweeping all before me, I finished the season with a fair amount of silverware. So I tried a slightly worse club in the Premiership, and started the whole process again...
Before long, the game unfortunately turns into a bit of a slog through all the decisions you have to make. You can change your responsibilities on the fly, but there's then a niggling feeling that you aren't making the most of the game and are missing out somehow. There is the new possibility of founding your own club in the lower leagues, but at the end of the day it is just the same game but without the recognisable names to be in charge of. It is fun being the national team manager, but I would have liked the option to do this without being a club manager as well - this is unfortunately not possible.
The rest of the game is a bit gimmicky - there is the option to be a player-manager but it is just a poor imitation of FIFA 09, and if you are in a bad team you won't be able to win your matches single-handedly. Also, and this is a gripe with football games in general, the game is released too far into the season, and already has all of the transfers at the start of the season programmed in - but then makes you start in July, when these transfers had not yet occurred. It just isn't correct, and detracted from the experience for me. Of course November/December is the prime time to be releasing any game, but in this case it makes the game a little bit less relevant.
In a sense, it seems that FIFA Manager 09 is more a lifestyle than a game - to get the most out of it you need to put in some real time. A season, if played thoroughly, will take as long as most full games these days. This makes it an absolutely incredible management simulation, but simply too much for all but the biggest fans. If you love football, purchase the game by all means, but be prepared to lose a lot of your life...

Guapo in spanish means handsome. When applied in this sense it is used as a paradox to that definition however. Guapo is usually used by a group of friends as a nickname to the kid in the group who is the fattest and ugliest as a put down. It is basically a form of sarcasm.

The DC board said the vote could lead to discrimination and violation of human rights laws.

I love researching cemeteries and strive for accuracy. If you see an error or have additional info you want added, do not hesitate to contact me through
Suggest A Correction
(not through Messages or E-mail) and I'll be more than happy to make the changes. (Note: Suggest A Correction is accessible through the Edit tab.)
Note that Find A Grave, though a valuable resource for genealogists, is not primarily a genealogical website. Certain highly detailed genealogical data (e.g. census transcriptions) is more suited for sites like Rootsweb.
Some people I have entered are my relatives; most are not. In documenting graves, I contribute to this site's growth and completeness. My goal is often to photograph an entire cemetery, but in large cemeteries this can be a daunting task; in such cases I just randomly photograph markers that catch my eye.
Some have asked why I am doing this. I'm doing this to honor the memories of the dearly departed, to give relatives who live far away the chance to visit the graves of their loved ones online when they can't do so in person, and to assist genealogists by providing information unavailable elsewhere. No disrespect is intended; indeed, I enter the data and post the photos with only the most respectful and honorable of motives.
I live in Taiwan and often travel to places like Hong Kong, Thailand and Malaysia to photograph cemeteries.
To protect the privacy of the living, I do not input pre-need graves, and I remove the names of the living from obituary information I post.
In general, if the stone does not show a birthdate, but instead an age,
I do not calculate the birthdate from the age
due to varying methods of calculations used, instead leaving the birthdate field blank. I make exceptions for my own direct ancestors and those for whom I can find reliable documentation. I can't stress this enough:
If you wish me to add a birthdate to a headstone with only a death date and an age, please tell me HOW YOU KNOW the person's birthdate. Otherwise I will SUMMARILY IGNORE that request!
Plus, I
can't make links to children or siblings
; only to spouses and parents. Such requests WILL BE IGNORED.
And when providing me with cities or towns of birth and/or death in the US,
please tell me the county
. Thank you!
As for transferring "ownership" of memorials, I am more than happy to do so if you are a relative. But please make the requests reasonable, rather than saying something like "Give me all your Smiths." This is Find A Grave, not Go Fish! :)
Enjoy your graving!

I was so surprised when I found photos of my Dads gravestone on your site. My Dad passed very suddenly in HK at the age of 49 whilst with the Air Ministry out there, and we had to return to the UK within about a month. It was a horrible time, but now being able to actually 'add flowers' (which I have never been able to do properly)means such a lot.Thank you so much.

Dear Chris:
Thank you for adding the family information I sent. It was only due to your efforts that I found where my Great Granduncle is laid to rest. He and my Grandfather,Alexander, were importers of Asian items brought to Toronto,Canada where their parents had an Import store on Yonge St. My Mother told me stories of sitting on the laps of Mandarin men in traditional clothing eating lichi. I was most surprised to find him in Bangkok as his Canadian WW1 records indicated he died in 1929. I found the military had made an error and placed the death note in the wrong Great Granduncle's file.
I would greatly appreciate if his memorial could be transferred to my care as I have the vast majority of the family history and am trying to link them together.
Thank you for all that you do. Without it I would never have found him. Sincerely,

St. Michael's Cemetery, Hong Kong
I am doing some research work regarding a step-uncle who served in U.S. Navy in China during the period (about) 1925-1942 (he left with the Mindanau and was ultimately taken prisoner at the fall of Corregidor.) His three children were born in Hong Kong and the middle child died there of tuberculosis at at Wajima Hospital, Wanchai, Hong Kong (when he was eight years old). The records I have seen indicate that he was interred in �Roman Catholic Cemetery, Hong Kong, Grave Number 6986�.
It would appear that this hospital was on the site of the present Ruttonjee Hospital and of the two Catholic cemeteries I have found (St. Michael�s and Holy Cross) this seems the closest and most likely. Since you have been there before, I thought you might be able to provide an opinion. The child is not shown on the present find-a-grave list, but that list presently shows only 83.

Hello Chris,
Thank you for your dedication to helping us find the deaths of family members.
Maj. Gen. John Garstin is my 4th Great Grandfather.
He died 16 Feb. 1820.
He is buried in South Park Cemetery, Calcutta, West Bengal, India.
May I have your permission to place the pictures you have that pertain to the death and burial of Maj Gen John Garstin on my Garstin Family Tree which I have created on Ancestry.
VERITASUK (screen name) is dedicated to finding his family tree. He contacted me when he found an answer to 10 or more years search during that time I had tried to find the answer of my 2nd Great Grandfather, August Edward Garstin Smith and 3rd Great Grandfather, Charles Garstin Smith.
If you require other information, please let me know.

Through the first 9 games of the season Johnson has struggled to put the points on the board. He was supposedly very unlucky early, hitting posts, having goals disallowed and hes only scored 1 goal and 6 points in the first 9 games. But tonight hes having his first real breakthrough as he has 2 goals in 2 periods. Hes said to be a very strong 2 way player, a good skater and very competitive. He's still pretty lean and will take some time but he could be worth the wait.

Hearst Luxury Golf Resort: Take 2
The Hearst Corporation of San Simeon, California is making another go at a luxury resort and golf course development. The media giant proposed a similar project in 1998, but was turned down by the California Coastal Commission. The commission decided the 1998 plan violated the 1976 Coastal Act, a statute designed to protect the area from development. The coastlines threatened wildlife, limited water supplies and natural landscapes made that project ill-suited to sustain a resort, according to the commission. The original plan included two 18-hole championship-style courses and a 900-room resort.
So what makes this proprosal different than the last? Developers are proposing preservation of 83,000 acres of the Hearst family ranch as open space, which would permanently protect the land from development. In exchange, they want to build the resort on 257 prime coastal acres. The project would involve an 18-hole championship-style golf course, a retail complex and two hotels.
According to Sara Wan, commission chairperson, the coastal commission has not yet been officially notified of the Hearsts plans. Instead, the corporation is first seeking county approval for certificates of compliance. Developers are also toying with the idea of selling development rights to the property, including coastal portions of the ranch.

The Newton Letter: An Interlude (1982) is the third book of Banville's science tetralogy (1976-86). As the subtitle suggests, the book is a befitting interlude to the series, in its ability to reassess the first two books' treatment of the creative process, as is seen in Copernicus' and Kepler's dilemmas (Doctor Copernicus, 1976; Kepler, 1981), and to start a sustained critique of the limits of language that will be further explored in Mefisto (1986). The Newton Letter plots the very process of questioning the epistemological premises of the search for knowledge that all these scientist-characters had embarked on: Copernicus, Kepler, and Newton. It draws attention to the challenge of …

Call for Papers EXPLORING ENVIRONMENTAL PHOTOGRAPHY
An interdisciplinary symposium for early career researchers
University of Bern, Switzerland, Department of Art History
October 1-3, 2014
Deadline for proposals: June 15, 2014
Photographic images were essential tools in the exploration and subsequent domination of the natural world in the nineteenth century. In the twentieth century photographs came to play a crucial role in the re-evaluation of nature as fragile and endangered. The documentation and assessment of the changing physical world and the impacts of these changes on human societies have been engaging art photographers as well as photojournalists in many different ways. Photographs of idealized landscapes devoid of human influence that evolved in the context of the Conservation movement are paralleled and challenged by critical reassessments of the inevitable interaction of man with nature.
The symposium poses the question of whether environmental photography can be considered a photographic genre and seeks to explore theoretical concepts as well as various case studies.
We invite participants to discuss topics such as:
- Environmental photography – "eco-art" and/or "concerned photography"?
- Visual strategies, modes, and tropes in environmental photography of past and present
- The role of photographic images in environmental policy discourses
- Environmental photographers – artists, journalists, activists?
- Framing/Reframing of images: environmental photographs in photobooks, exhibitions etc.
Ph.D. candidates, post-docs and other early career researchers who work on photography or with photography are invited to submit a proposal for presenting their research at this international and interdisciplinary symposium at the University of Bern in Switzerland. The symposium is designed as an open stage for sharing research and for discussing new approaches, theoretical perspectives and methodological concerns. Proposals from all academic disciplines are welcome.
Please send proposals of no more than 300 words (in English or German) as well as a short biography including full contact information and institutional affiliation to email@example.com and email@example.com by June 15, 2014. Conference languages are German and English. Travel and accommodation expenses up to an amount of approx. CHF 250 can be refunded.

SINGAPORE—Adrian Zecha, founder of Aman Group, the holding company of international luxury resort collection Amanresorts, is stepping down as chairman and CEO.
Johan Eliasch, a global business leader with extensive brand-building expertise, has been appointed chairman of the Aman Group and Vladislav Doronin, a developer of high-end residential and commercial properties and the lead investor, has been named CEO.
"We are grateful for Adrian Zecha's outstanding achievements and we are committed to extending his legacy to build on Amanresorts' foundation as a luxury global resort brand," stated Eliasch. "As someone who is very familiar with the distinctive Aman experience, I am excited to take on this role as chairman."
Eliasch is the chairman/CEO of Head N.V., the global sporting goods group, and is the former Special Representative of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. He is chairman of Equity Partners, Cool Earth, and London Films and a non-executive director of CV Starr Underwriting Agents. He is the president of Global Strategy Forum, a trustee of Kew Foundation, a member of the Mayors of London's and Rome's Business Advisory Councils and an advisory board member of the Centre for Social Justice
Added Doronin: "The Aman Group's philosophy is to immerse guests in a unique and personal experience. We intend to preserve the spirit of Aman while growing the brand through future strategic development opportunities, including exotic locations for which the brand is well known, as well as into major metropolitan destinations. As lead investor and CEO, I am dedicated to ensuring that the organization has the necessary resources to sustain and enhance its position as an industry pioneer. The future holds great promise for this iconic brand."
Doronin is the chairman and founder of Capital Group, a property development company in Russia. Capital Group's portfolio has more than 70 major projects with a total area of more than 70 million sq. ft., including business centers, hotels, residential, retail and mixed-use complexes.
Plans are in progress with the new management team to invest in the company's existing infrastructure and capabilities.
Aman Group operates 26 luxury resort properties under the Aman brand in 18 countries. Each of its one-of-a-kind properties features locally sourced materials, reflecting the resort's natural surroundings and the traditions of local cultures in Thailand, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, France, Greece, India, Indonesia, Italy, Laos, Montenegro, Morocco, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Turkey, Turks & Caicos Islands, Vietnam and the United States.

Tech Triumphs in the Federal Government
Successful Case Studies Prove Government Can Be a Leader in IT Best Practices
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, or USDA, had 21 unique email systems as recently as three years ago. Today a "cloud computing" initiative allows 120,000 USDA staff and support contractors to share a single integrated email system that costs less than $8 a month per user—a cost savings of almost 40 percent over the old fragmented system.
This success story was one of eight explored at a closed-door workshop on March 10, 2011, at the Center for American Progress. More than 120 senior government officials and IT industry representatives came together to share best practices and discuss how to scale them up across government.
"When I arrived in government, one of the things I was astonished to find was that there was no place I could go if I was struggling in an area," said keynote speaker Richard Spires, chief information officer for the Department of Homeland Security. "Where are those experts that have been identified across government that can help me? I got a lot of blank stares."
The workshop, convened by CAP to help U.S. Chief Information Officer Vivek Kundra implement his 25-point reform agenda for federal IT management, was designed to identify the hard-to-find expertise from success stories in overcoming government IT challenges.
The federal government spends $80 billion on information technology each year. Much of this is spent on "legacy" systems that are now obsolete. But the case studies explored during the three-hour conference show that significant cost savings are possible if agencies share best practices: moving to cloud and light technologies, buying smarter, collapsing redundant layers of governance, and ramping up training of IT program managers.
Moving to the cloud
The push to consolidate IT purchasing and move to cloud computing, as in the Agriculture Department example, is expected to fundamentally shift federal spending in the next few years. Kundra estimates that the government should be spending $20 billion a year on cloud computing systems.
Senior IT officials are already convinced this move will deliver multiple benefits for the taxpayer. Charles McClam, the deputy chief information officer for the Department of Agriculture, says the new cloud-based system is already saving the taxpayer millions of dollars. "In addition to these lower costs, the new solution gives USDA more control over managing email," McClam said, "leading to a heightened security posture and better records management."
Centralizing funding pools
Another way budget managers have managed to overcome inefficiency of fragmented IT service providers is to concentrate all the appropriated money into centralized funding pools. The State Department chief information officer created a "Working Capital Fund" in 2007 that allowed 27 different internal organizations to buy fee-for-services computer systems from a single internal provider. The fund also allowed excess funds to be carried forward into future years' funds to replace capital equipment when needed.
Fast-track governance
Other best practices put forward by participants showed that new projects can be implemented more quickly with buy-in from senior management. The 2008 "Post-9/11 GI Bill" required the creation of an IT system by the following year to provide higher education financial aid for eligible veterans or qualifying dependents. Creating a brand new IT system to support this bill would typically have taken more than 18 months because of the multiple bureaucratic decisions that take 60 days to 90 days each.
But the Veterans Administration got the benefits system up and running in nine months after Roger Baker, the department chief information officer, created an "integrated governance structure" that did away with the traditional ways of doing business. Among Baker's innovations were a working group that met daily and an executive steering committee that met weekly to fast-track decisions. Baker also authorized the program manager to bypass the committees and come directly to him when necessary.
Incentives for professional certifications
Agencies have struggled with the lack of proper training for program managers to handle large-scale IT programs. In response, the Office of Personnel Management is soon expected to offer quicker promotions to federal employees who become certified "Project Management Professionals." Some agencies, including the Social Security Administration, have already begun to provide specialized training for dozens of employees with the help of the Federal Acquisition Institute, which has allowed them to better manage major IT projects.
Data-driven reviews
Perhaps the hardest problem IT managers face is steering back on track existing projects that are over budget and behind schedule. The Office of Management and Budget has attempted to tackle this hurdle by setting up high-level data-driven reviews of such projects called TechStat sessions. Multiple agencies, including the Department of the Interior, are implementing similar internal reviews to identify problem projects more quickly. On March 17, Kundra testified that TechStat sessions for 26 major federal IT projects have resulted in $3 billion in savings and a reduction in time to delivery from two years to eight months.
"I recognize that there's not a one size fits all. I recognize that what works for Homeland Security is not going to directly translate for the Small Business Administration," said Spires, who is the former chair of the Best Practices Committee of the Federal Chief Information Officer Council. "But the essence, the principles, some of the tools and templates can."

The recently held POW open day seemed to be pretty mad on the Saturday. I turned up Sunday afternoon and it was a much more chilled out affair. Grafter was busy stenciling the Sausage Man's van and ATG were just making sure it was unlikely POW were going to get their deposit back on the van hire! POW raised nearly £25K from a raffle to win or buy a Banksy print. The charity chosen is a really good one – sightsavers international – and with an adult cataract operation costing only £17.00 to perform its one where the money can make a huge difference to a lot of peoples lives.

I have nothing to add, but I read this recently:
Understanding Poop – Constipation, IBS, and Other Digestive Disorders | The Primal Parent
This may be overtly disgusting, but I have some serious queries.
Obviously CW dumps are meant to be bulky and regular. However, with Primal, what are you aiming for?
In my experience, I was pooping really well before Primal, simply because I was eating TONS.
I was a bit concerned about eating so much meat/cutting fiber, because I've read that intestinal cancer is linked to free radicals formed when animal products are left in the intestine too long, i.e. you don't poop them out.
However, I also know that fat is meant to be good for "greasing" your innards and making it much smoother to go.
I think that's why I'm going every day just like I used to: the increased fat.
Does anybody else want to chime in on this?
I have nothing to add, but I read this recently:
Understanding Poop – Constipation, IBS, and Other Digestive Disorders | The Primal Parent
Eat plenty of avocados, broccoli, raspberries, coconut, sweet potatoes along with healthy meats, eggs and oils and you'll have plenty of fiber to keep things moving.
Ha!!! A thread I understand!!
I've only recently begun, however, all was 'normal' for the first few weeks then I started to up my good fats. Well I ended up with 'floaters' and it drove me nuts that they wouldn't flush...this happened for 1 24hr period...then nothing at all...I skipped a day and worried I was headed to constipation...another 24 hours....then opps, watery...then back to normal. Who knows...I have a serious bowel disorder and I really worried about a flare but NO...I'm back to normal. Maybe my body was adjusting?
No worries.
Good topic though...
It so happens that one of the paleo podcasts has just done this very topic only this week:
Pooping 101 with Dr Lo 08/28 by DrLoRadio | Blog Talk Radio
Diane Sanfillipo also has a section on it in her new book.
Otherwise, maybe try googling:
sean croxton poop
Sean is famous for his uninhibited discussions of the matter.
" I've read that intestinal cancer is linked to free radicals formed when animal products are left in the intestine too long, i.e. you don't poop them out"
It's nonsense. Animal products are the most digestible things we eat. It's plant material and fibers that end up in the intestines and colon so that our symbiotic bacteria can help digest them.
If you're up for a graphic example Wolverine here self-tested this when he had most of his intestines removed, and got to see what comes out of the stomach on a regular basis:
Can Humans Digest Meat? | Roar of Wolverine
Personally I've had poop problems since I was a little kid. I'm lucky that way, I get all the really glamorous health problems. Started getting hemorrhoids with frankly shocking amounts of bleeding when I was about 12. This has continued for most of the time, and with increasing amounts of pain, for most of my life. The only solution I found was to eat tremendous amounts of fiber. Eating even one slice of white bread would start the cycle all over again. Last year, in the throes of a many month long grain-eating binge, I even had to go to the emergency room and get them to fix my butt.
I switched over to paleo/primal, and have not had a problem since. I don't go as often as the colon purists recommend, about once every two days, which I chalk up to eating things that are more digestible. There's just not that much I eat that needs to be delegated to my bacteria friends. No pain, no bleeding, etc.
However, my poop is now consistently forest green, but that's probably because I eat blueberries daily...
Gut Sense: How to reverse and prevent constipation in children and adults explains it all! Well, mostly. I'm reading Fiber Menace, which explains digestion and how fiber is not really needed so much as people think.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

FINE Gael Cork South West TD, Jim Daly, has said the way forward in resolving issues relating to mortgage arrears centres on better communication between banks and the borrowers who may find themselves in financial difficulty.
"If a sustainable path is to be set out in terms of addressing mortgage arrears, the first step has to be improving the communication between the borrower and the lender. With many people anxiously awaiting the passing of the new insolvency legislation due to be brought in to law in the Autumn, Banks are now willing to restructure loans without getting involved in the insolvency process which may leave them with less gain if that route is chosen by the borrower.
"If banks took a more measured approach to the situation and reassigned a greater number of dedicated staff to the area of dealing with distressed accounts, this would allow for borrowers to meet more easily with officers of authority within the Banks. The lines of communication would be opened up and a resolution could be mapped out going forward .
"When people receive notification letters from banks, many customers automatically put communicating with the bank on the long finger and avoid dealing with the issue. This is normal human nature but is unhelpful in resolving the problem.
"I accept that letters issued by banks have to be issued under the code of conduct rules to protect mortgage holders but am calling on all financial institutions to re-examine the wording and tone of letters they are sending customer so that they may be encouraged to address any issues they may have with their loan provider.
"There is an onus too on the borrower to engage fully with the banks when experiencing difficulty in paying their mortgage. I am aware of many cases in recent months with various financial institutions, who have negotiated new terms with both the Bank and Borrower happy with the result. I am satisfied that the Banks are committed to keeping all of their customers in their homes no matter how hopeless the situation may appear.
"I am strongly convinced that if people are open, honest and engage unequivocally with their lender, resolutions that are acceptable to all can be reached. The banks are equipped to deal with the restructuring of repayment terms for genuinely distressed households. They are also willing to work with customers where the repayment of loans are concerned for those who are currently out of work. I am urging all borrowers to make contact with their lender and to insist on a meeting with an official to agree a path to retaining a good relationship and more importantly their home," he said.

Hearing on Black Earth Meats
The Dane county Sheriff's Department has been called nearly three dozen times this year to Black Earth Meats, following up on complaints.
While none of the citations were criminal, authorities point out that is a lot of calls to one facility in a village of that size.
Tuesday night, the Black Earth Village Board may take action following a hearing.
One of the citations against Black Earth Meats this year stemmed from an incident when a truck was overfilled and a stomach from a slaughtered animal fell out of it. The business was also cited for noise from squealing pigs.
Company officials say they go above and beyond to keep the facility cleaned.
Black Earth Meats employs about 40 people.
