As far as I know, the Raza Micro BSP as shipped doesn't support an AMP
configuration out of the box, only SMP. If you look at the
'20bsp.cdf' file that comes with it, the 'Bsp' specification only
lists SMP under MT_OPTIONS.
You could attempt to create your own BSP for this, but there are a
couple off issues. First, you need to have different images linked for
different addresses: there's no trick available for remapping memory
so that each core sees the same logical address space. Second, only
the first image can include the network driver, since there is only
one instance of the interface used for all 4 RGMII network ports: if
you include the driver in more than one image, both will attempt to
manipulate the same device and collide with each other. (I believe the
same issue exists with the serial ports and PCI bus.) As for getting
the other cores bootstrapped, ultimately, I think what you have to do
use the image running on CPU 0 to load subsequent images for the other
That said, with the Raza Micro and Cavium designs, the best way to
take advantage of the hardware is not to simply run multiple instances
of a full blown OS on each core (or even one instance in SMP): what
you're supposed to do is run dedicated standalone threads on each CPU
which pass work back and forth to each other using the hardware work
queue. You can use VxWorks (or some other OS) on one core to manage
everything, but putting the same OS on every core is probably not the
best approach.

When Greg Abbott needs an airplane who does he call? The Koch brothers
When Greg Abbott needed a little help flying around as his campaign for Texas governor gets underway, who did he call? The Koch brothers. Abbott's latest campaign report shows that Koch Industries in Washington provided Abbott with the use of an airplane for $7,500 worth of travel. The report doesn't offer details. And Abbott's campaign did not return a call seeking clarification. But one thing's clear: the Texas Republican attorney general is a favorite of the billionaire Koch brothers, who are big opponents of Obamacare and efforts to curb air and water pollution.
Abbott announced in July that he's running for the GOP nomination for governor to replace Rick Perry, who isn't running again. In his campaign, Abbott has highlighted his lawsuits against the Environmental Protection Agency. Abbott has sued the EPA at least 17 times over air quality standards and greenhouse gas emissions. He has also questioned global warming and is outspoken opponent of Obamacare. As for the Koch brothers, they have given Abbott at least $45,000 as attorney general through their political committee. They are benefactors of the Texas Republican Party, which has begun adding staff in response the Democratic group Battleground Texas, which hopes to register and turn out more Democrats in elections. The Koch brothers have pledged $8 million to the Texas GOP to help rebuff Democrats' effort to make Texas competitive..

Four people jump clear of truck before it goes over cliff; rescued by RCAF
COMOX, B.C. – Four people survived a dramatic crash in which they were forced to jump out of a pickup truck just before the vehicle plunged over a cliff on the B.C. coast Friday.
The Royal Canadian Air Force, which was called out to rescue the group, said the incident happened near Toba Inlet, about 180 kilometres northwest of Vancouver.
The pickup was travelling on a snow-covered logging road when it went out of control and began sliding down an embankment.
Just before the truck went over a cliff, the four occupants jumped clear, but two of them were injured.
Medics from a company doing work in the area responded to the crash, but couldn't move the patients and poor weather prevented an air ambulance from getting into the site, so the Air Force sent in a Cormorant helicopter.
"There were already first responders on scene and they had provided us an exact location where they were," said aircraft commander Captain Luc Coates in a media statement released by the Air Force.
"They had also cleared a landing site for us at a wide part of the road, making for a quick and efficient operation."
Once on the ground, RCAF emergency technicians linked up with the first responders.
"The patients were stable throughout and the medics had done a good job of keeping them warm and getting them ready for transport," said Master Corp. Justin Cervantes, SAR Tech on board the Cormorant.
The military chopper then flew the four people to a hospital in Comox on Vancouver Island.
Their condition was not immediately known.

Program puts FOCUS on communication
"Communication, communication and then, more communication" -- that's the secret to the success of the performance management program now in place at the Yale University Library, according to Diane Turner, associate university librarian for human resources.
The Yale Library is one of many departments that have found that integrating the University's FOCUS program into their employee review systems has improved supervisor-staff communications.
FOCUS -- which stands for Feedback and Ongoing Coaching for University Success -- aims to make it easier to provide consistent feedback to staff.
"Performance management is critical for improving Yale's effectiveness because it opens the lines of communication between supervisor and employee, clarifies expectations, and provides honest and thorough feedback at least once a year," says Laura Freebairn-Smith, director of the Organizational Development & Learning Center, and project leader for FOCUS.
The initiative was created by a cross-campus committee in response to the Yale Workplace Survey which indicated that only 45% of respondents agreed they receive a thorough and thoughtful performance review each year. Seeing a need to improve the usage rate and quality of Yale's performance management system, John Pepper, former vice president of finance and administration, and Robert Schwartz, associate vice president and chief human resources (HR) officer, sponsored the development of the FOCUS program.
Key components of FOCUS include training classes to support supervisors and employees; consultations by HR generalists; and a website (www.yale.edu/focus) that offers information on systems to track and monitor the use of performance management, and forms that can be customized to meet the needs of different departments.
The FOCUS program encourages departments to implement performance management in a manner that supports their culture and opens the lines of communication between managers and employees.
One of the major cornerstones of the Yale Library's program, says Turner, has been the incorporation of the Learning Plan, which identifies specific skills and learning activities that will support the achievement of an employee's stated goals.
"The staff members at the Yale Library will now know where they stand, how their role fits into the structure, what specific skills are needed in order to develop and what contribution they make to the overall success of the library's goals," she notes.
The Yale Library is completing the first cycle of its new staff performance management program. For the first time, clerical and technical (C&T) employees will be included in the appraisal process, something already familiar to the department's managerial and professional (M&P) staff. This collaborative process, from goal-setting through the year-end review, encourages a true partnership, says Turner, and is helping the Yale Library to become truly high-performing.
Like the library, the School of Management (SOM) has made several enhancements to its existing performance management system.
At SOM, the first step in the annual performance appraisal is completing a self-evaluation form, which offers staff members the opportunity to reflect on their goals for the year, to assess how well they have accomplished their objectives and to evaluate the behaviors that led to those results. Then staff members meet with their supervisor to discuss their performance and overall contribution to the departmental mission for the previous period, and to determine the goals, objectives, and professional and personal development plans for the next year. In addition, SOM has customized the list of "University Competencies" (available on the FOCUS website) to reflect its particular goals and mission.
Diane Palmeri, associate dean at SOM, says, "Over the past 18 months, the School of Management has worked with clerical staff to prepare for the implementation of new business systems and changes in technology as well as enhancements to their roles." SOM has worked with external resources to provide the training to support those changes, she adds. Also, as at the Yale Library, this year both C&T and M&P staff will be evaluated using the school's enhanced performance management system.
The School of Drama has used its creativity in customizing Yale's performance management program to reflect its core values, competencies and mission.
According to Katherine Burgueño, business manager, "Evaluations and critiques are integral to every aspect of the productions and classes at the School of Drama." Therefore, the school's performance management process has been in place for a number of years for both M&P and C&T employees. This year the School of Drama has melded the language of its existing program into the FOCUS format.
The School of Drama's performance management process starts with a review of the position description. This allows the employees to see where their roles fit into the overall structure and mission, Burgueño says, adding, "We provide a consistent opportunity for feedback." Both the employees and their supervisor receive the same performance management packet. They fill it out separately and then come together to discuss it.
New to the performance management process this year is the integration of training and career plans. Since personal growth is inherent in the School of Drama's mission and values, the appraisal includes a discussion about the type of training the employees need to excel in their position and, ultimately, to move forward in their career. The supervisors then work to make the training possible. Professional and personal development of the staff is becoming part of the foundation of the School of Drama, says Burgueño, and creates a win for both the employee and supervisor.
Departments can learn more about how to become part of the FOCUS program by visiting the website at www.yale.edu/focus or calling their HR generalist.

A small pic with a big punch, Enrique Rivero's "Parque via" lingers in the cortex way longer than its content would seem to justify.
A small pic with a big punch, Enrique Rivero's "Parque via" lingers in the cortex way longer than its content would seem to justify. A study of self-imposed solitude that's not boring, and an exploration of repressed emotions that's not alienating to the viewer, tale of a longtime caretaker of a vacant house whose self-contained existence is suddenly threatened plays almost like a low-key psychodrama or cerebral thriller. One of the very few films that showed real originality in this year's Locarno competition, where it copped the Golden Leopard, this could carve out a modest arthouse niche with critical support and fest kudos.
Debut feature of former a.d. Rivero ("La influencia"), and of Rivero and producer Paola Herrera's new shingle, Una Comunion, is "based on the life" (per main title) of Nolberto Coria, who also plays the lead. Like the film's protag, Coria has worked as a caretaker for a Mexican family all his life, though the direction in which pic finally leads is clearly fictional.
Beto (Coria) is an aging but still trim "Indio" who, for 10 years, has been looking after an empty luxury house in bustling Mexico City. Cut off from the world by high walls, and settled into a routine of eating spartan meals, cleaning and watching violent news reports on TV, he seems an island unto himself.
Opening long take, following him around the house, establishes not so much the layout of the place, but rather the character's absolute solitude and almost militaristic precision. Thereafter, thankfully, the movie is conventionally shot and edited, with careful compositions by d.p. Arnau Valls Colomer and a slightly cool look that stems from 16mm lensing prior to (a pretty sharp) 35mm blowup.
Beto's only contacts with the outside world are occasional visits by the house's immaculately coiffed and emotionally reserved owner, known simply as La Senora (Tesalia Huerta, superb); her driver, who brings Beto newspapers now and then; and a realtor who shows prospective buyers around.
Also visiting Beto, on a paid basis, is middle-aged bar-girl-cum-hooker Lupe (Nancy Orozco). But Beto, essentially, is content within his self-imposed prison — so much so that, when he goes shopping one day with La Senora, he passes out from a form of agoraphobia.
At the 50-minute mark, news comes that the house has been sold. La Senora tries to do her best for Beto, who will soon be homeless and jobless, but events take a sudden, surprising turn.
Though it's clear from their looks and demeanor, the social divide between the upper-class La Senora and working-class Mexican Indian Beto is never put directly into words. He seems happy with the status quo and respectful of his employer, and she, in her own cool way, is attached to her loyal servant. Pic's power comes from the way the final act, though seemingly out of left field, in retrospect makes sense based on tiny nuances in the performances.
Given that the entire cast is non-pro, kudos are due for Rivero's direction. Helmer shows a clear respect for basic film grammar throughout, especially in sequences of Beto's weekly routine. However, he also manages to draw from Coria a performance that never reduces Beto to an object of pity: If anything, he is a gruff, somewhat ornery character, with few social graces, whose independence has become virtually an obsession, especially as he has been living on borrowed time for so long.
Use of existing music, including Beethoven's Cello Sonata in G minor, adds fitting emotion, especially in the final reels. For the record, the house in which pic was mostly shot actually belonged to the helmer's grandparents.

This belt is amazing (I have it in burgundy), but it's made a little big. I had to put extra holes in the XS. But I'm still going to get it in grey!

Shaun Gaul, the owner of Super Jump in Williamsport, understands the woe of trying to find a venue for a child's party all too well.
The idea for his business was derived because he could not find an establishment to hold his three year old son's birthday party.
"My son was turning 3. We couldn't find a place to throw a birthday party. I said let's open a place to throw parties. I don't have anything else to do," Gaul said.

Shaun Gaul, owner of Super Jump, poses with some of the inflatable party items that
attract lots of kids to his establishment for parties.
SHAWNA TURNER/Sun-Gazette
Prior to opening the facility, Gaul was involved with another business venture that did not pan out.
Super Jump is 12,0000 square feet and has much to offer kids of all ages.
"We have four big inflatable obstacle courses, two inflatable games, an arcade and food court," said Gaul.
According to Gaul, he sees a positive spin on the economy. He asserts that in financially troubled times people tend to stay local.
"We are pretty busy. Our weekend business is verging on out of control," Gaul said.
A typical party includes pizza and drinks for the kids. The food court is used for birthday parties. There are also two party rooms.
"We leave our rooms generic so we can theme them for whatever theme the parents want. We leave the walls white so we can constantly change them for what the parents are looking for," said Gaul.
Gaul is adding games and activities.
"We are getting redemption games, where you get tickets and cash them in for prizes. We have about 15 new games coming. We will have at least one or two new inflatables coming," Gaul said.
Gaul also added that among the new games will be skee ball.
According to Gaul, the food court menu is being revamped to appear more aesthetically pleasing.
"We have hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken fingers and a lot of stuff," Gaul said. He swears his hamburgers are among the best in town.
"I buy the best of everything. If you have one of our hamburgers, chances are you will have one again," Gaul said.
He also made reference to a local in town who comes in just for the hamburgers.
The chicken and fries are air fried.
"Air frying is a small oven that blows air around really fast. When the food comes out, it actually feels like it was really fried. It is crispy on the outside. There is no grease or oil. It's healthier," Gaul said.
Other services offered by the play facility are field trips and fundraisers.
"We do a lot of stuff with the schools. We donated to the accelerated reader program. We have given free admission and stuff for them," Gaul said.
According to Gaul, they are tossing around fundraising ideas.
"Birthday parties and everything we offer are customized to meet the customer, we have a few fundraising ideas. I am a firm believer that schools need as much money as they can get," Gaul said.
"We are here for the kids. The kids are our main concern. As long as the kids are happy, then I am happy. We are not a typical place with standard packages and rules. We will custom tailor anything to make it the way you want it," Gaul said.
Super Jump's hours of operation are Tuesday through Thursday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The hours are extended to 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. They are also open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

Hyderabadi Vegetable Biryani Recipe
Hyderabadi Biryani is a traditional celebration meal made using meat and rice and is a staple of Hyderabadi cuisine. This recipe was shared to me by a Muslim friend who makes the most awesome Biryani that I have tasted. The recipe of Hyderabadi Biryani has a few stages to making it. I make it in many different ways and the one mentioned below is one of the methods to make it super delicious.
Serve Hyderabadi Vegetable Biryani Recipe along with Onion Tomato Cucumber Raita, Tadka Raita or any other Raita of your choice.
If you like this recipe, you can also try other rice recipes such as
1/2 cup green beans, diced, steamed
1/2 cup carrots, diced, steamed
1 cup cauliflower florets, steamed
1 cup potatoes, boiled, peeled and cubed – keep them a little firmTo be ground into paste (Grind the below ingredients to a paste and keep aside)
6 cloves garlic
2 large inch piece of ginger
1 large onion, roughly chopped
2 green chiliesMain ingredients for biryani
2 cups basmati rice, rinsed
1 cup tomatoes, finely chopped or 1/2 cup of tomato puree
1 cup plain yogurt
3 cloves
1 inch stick of cinnamon
4 pods of cardamom, peeled with seeds only
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon of turmeric powder
1 teaspoon red chilli powder
1 teaspoon coriander powder
Salt to taste
Oil for cookingIngredients for garnishing
A small bunch cup freshly chopped mint leaves
1/2 cup of sliced and caramelized onions
Directions for Hyderabadi Vegetable Biryani Recipe
To begin making the Vegetable Hyderabadi Biryani, we will first cook the rice with 2 cups of water along with salt and 2 tablespoons of oil and keep aside. Cooking in a Sauce Pan helps in maintaining the texture of the rice to be half cooked.
This rice will be only half cooked as we are adding only half the about of water to cook the rice. The rice will then get cooked further along with the masala below.
The next step is the power steam the vegetables in a steamer. Place the vegetables in a steamer, sprinkle some salt and steam them, until partially cooked. Keep this aside.
Pound the cardamom, cinnamon and cloves well in a pestle and motor and keep the spice powder aside.
Heat two tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan; add the onion garlic and ginger paste and sauté on medium heat until the color has changed and the raw smell from the onions goes away.
Add the turmeric powder, chilli powder, coriander powder, the spice powder and bay leaves. Sauté for a few seconds until combined.
Add the finely chopped tomatoes or the tomato puree. Sauté the tomatoes for about 5 minutes, add the yogurt at this point and simmer for another 5 minutes until it is bubbling and gets a good aroma.
Finally add in the mint leaves potatoes, steamed vegetables, half cooked rice, chopped mint leaves and any additional salt that is required. Give the vegetable biryani a taste, to make sure the overall salt and spice levels are good to go.
Sauté for a few minutes until it gets combined with the rest of the masala. Turn the heat to low. Cover the pan witha tight fitting lid and simmer until all the biryani rice is puffed up and cooked completely.
Once the Vegetable Biryani cooked, turn off the heat keep the pan covered for about 5 more minutes before you can serve.
Open the pan and give the Vegetable Biriyani a gentle stir, to combine all the masala and vegetables into the rice. Garnish the Hyderabadi Vegetable Biryani Recipe with caramelized onions and serve.
Serve the Hyderabadi Vegetable Biryani with Hyderabadi Bagara Baingan or Hyderabadi Mirchi ka salan

Posted by TPB Staff on Mar 3, 2011 05:10 ShareTweet It doesn't get more frustrating than this loss, a loss that you saw coming a mile away. and there was nothing you could do about it. We have no clue why — and maybe people can help us out — but for whatever reason this was one of the most frustrating losses we've experienced since doing this blog and being a fan in general. And why is a bear the mascot for the Leafs? Fucking stupid. And it shouldn't be that way at all. We were sitting there knowing that Orpik is out, half of the forwards don't have pubic hair, and the Crosby-Malkin combo is nowhere in sight. Maybe it's frustrating because we watched Tyler Kennedy and Pascal Dupuis eat up ice time in the third period and overtime while Alexei Kovalev was probably in the locker room packing everyone's bags for the plane ride. No clue what that was all about. It was frustrating because Neal and Staal got worked over in OT. It was frustrating because the Penguins had that third goal in them to make it 3-1, but they refused to put it away. It was frustrating because as soon as Phil Kessel made it 2-2, Dan Bylsma turned into Bill Cowher. By the way, Phil Kessel is a pathetic excuse for a hockey player. There's probably two recaps per season where we have the whole thing typed up, and then when we do a quick read-through, we decide we'd rather not embarrass ourselves. Maybe one day we will post what this recap was gonna look like. It was laden with hatred for everything and everyone that was within 25 miles of the Air Canada Centre last night, including Rick. http://youtube.com/watch?v=yDy_IsSX404?version=3 ShareTweetPenguins Tickets About TPB Staff View all posts by TPB Staff →

David (Robert) Whitehouse
David Robert Whitehouse is a scientist, writer, and broadcaster. He was BBC's Science correspondent from 1988 until 2006, and also served as the Science Editor for BBC News Online. [2]
He has since criticized the BBC's climate change reporting as "evangelical" and "inconsistent," and claimed their reporting on scientific issues was "shallow and sparse."[3]
Whitehouse serves on the Academic Advisory Committee for the contrarian Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF).
He has written for many publications, including the Huffington Post. His connection to the skeptical GWPF is not mentioned on his Huffington Post profile.
Stance on Climate Change
"Global warming has, temporarily or permanently, ceased. Temperatures across the world are not increasing as they should according to the fundamental theory behind global warming – the greenhouse effect. Something else is happening and it is vital that we find out what or else we may spend hundreds of billions of pounds needlessly." [4]
Key Quotes
"We are reaching the point where the temperature standstill is becoming the major feature of the recent global warm period that began in 1980. In brief, the global temperature has remained constant for longer than it has increased." [5]
Referring to professor Muller's Berkely Earth Surface Temperature Project, "The Best project's treatment of science and of the public has been shoddy. That so many so-called reporters in the mainstream media should have been so uncritical and accepting of what was clearly misrepresentation is shocking. Once again they have been found to be supporters and advocates for a particular point of view when they should have been critical commentators and journalists. Climate science is important. It deserves better." [6]
"Reporting the consensus about climate change … is not synonymous with good science reporting. The BBC is at an important point. It has been narrow minded about climate change for many years and they have become at the very least a cliché and at worst lampooned as being predictable and biased by a public that doesn't believe them anymore." [7]
"It does seem that the sea ice is returning to 'average' after the record lows of 2007 and 2008. There has been a definite recovery trend since then, so far from being a progression towards ice free summers it seems that it was a temporary dip. The recent observations do make the 2007 projections that the region would be ice free by 2013 look very unrealistic. Given what is happening only the foolish would look many years into the future and predict ice free summers now." [8]
Key Deeds
January 17, 2013
David Whitehouse wrote an article at the Global Warming Policy Foundation claiming that climate scientist James Hansen's recent report admits that a "Global temperature standstill is real," and that this was evidence that "The GWPF has been right all along." Hansen's actual report can be viewed here (PDF). Whitehouse goes on to criticize the remaining sections of Hansen's report which reports on how climate variations will continue to "cause a substantial increase in the frequency of extreme warm anomalies." [26]
Much of Hansen's report also contradicts Whitehouse's assertion that the GWPF was "right all along" if he is referring to the group's essential stance on climate change. For example, note these paragraphs in Hansen's original document (emphasis added): [27]
"These short-term global fluctuations are associated principally with natural oscillations of tropical Pacific sea surface temperatures summarized in the Nino index in the lower part of the figure. 2012 is nominally the 9th warmest year, but it is indistinguishable in rank with several other years, as shown by the error estimate for comparing nearby years. Note that the 10 warmest years in the record all occurred since 1998.
"The long-term warming trend, including continual warming since the mid-1970s, has been conclusively associated with the predominant global climate forcing, human-made greenhouse gases, which began to grow substantially early in the 20th century. The approximate stand-still of global temperature during 1940-1975 is generally attributed to an approximate balance of aerosol cooling and greenhouse gas warming during a period of rapid growth of fossil fuel use with little control on particulate air pollution […]"
December 1, 2011
In a Huffington Post article, David Whitehouse criticizes the currents state of science journalism, stating that "There has never been a golden age of science journalism, but certainly there were more characters, better writers, more newsgathering zeal, and more originality in the recent past."
He says that "science, and communicating science, is too important to be left to the scientists. An essential component of the scientific enterprise is the science journalist, and there as the saying goes, we have a problem."
Whitehouse goes on to explain the nature of the suggested problem, concluding that "Climate science in particular is reported far too narrowly with much important peer-reviewed research ignored, and with environmental reporters far too concerned with doing down those they define as sceptics. Forget the sceptics, just report the science properly. It will all come out in the wash."
Additionally, he suggests that "Journalists … should not look to scientists for guidance anymore than an artist asks a bowl of cherries for advice about how to draw them! They should criticise, highlight errors, make a counterbalancing case if it will stand up, but don't censor, even by elimination, don't be complacent and say the science is settled in areas that are still contentious." [23]
Paul Raeburn posted a rebuttal at the Knight Science Journalism Tracker, stating that "The only example that Whitehouse uses to make his case is that of climate-change coverage. Environmental reporters, he writes, are 'far too concerned with doing down those they define as sceptics.' On the contrary, I would argue that skeptics have received far too much coverage." [24]
Whitehouse's critique and Paul Raeburn's response is also covered here. [25]
February 2, 2011
One of Whitehouse's blog posts at the GWPF [9] was debunked by London School of Economics Communications Director Bob Ward. Ward described Whitehouse's GWPF publication, saying "I do not know of any other web page about global warming that is so error-ridden." [10]
November 9, 2010
One of Whitehouse's articles at the GWPF was republished by Watts Up With That. In the article Whitehouse suggests that "2010 will be in terms of global annual average temperature statistically identical to the annual temperatures of the past decade." [5]
His claim was debunked by other sources and blogs such as this one. [22]
April, 2010
Whitehouse claimed that Artic sea ice levels were returning to average. However, according to the Carbon Brief, Whitehouse's prediction had been "soon after the height of the Arctic winter when the Arctic sea ice reaches its greatest extent." [11]
The Carbon Brief examined Whitehouse's claim and concluded that the "overall trend is downwards, particularly in the summer." [12]
December 3, 2010
Whitehouse predicted that "2010 will be remembered for just two warm months [March and June], attributable to the El Nino effect, with the rest of the year being nothing but average, or less than average temperature." [13]
Whitehouse's claim was in turn quoted by British Journalist David Rose who, according to SourceWatch, is known for repeatedly misquoting scientists on climate change. [21]
According to the NASA and NOAA datasets, 2010 tied with 2005 for the hottest year on record [14]; and NASA's GISS data showed November 2010 as the hottest November on record. [15]
According to SourceWatch, the use of the term "average" in Whitehouse's statement was also misleading, as the dataset referenced (CRU, through Oct 2010)shows every month in 2010 to be considerably warmer than the corresponding historic (1850+) average. The pattern appearing in NASA's GISS data. [16], [17].
Whitehouse later explained that he meant the "average" for just one decade - a timeframe statisticians consider too short to be meaningful in seeing the underlying trend. [18]
- Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) — Academic Advisory Council Member. Also "Science Editor" and contributor to the GWPF's publication The Observatory. [19]
Whitehouse is described as the "Science Editor," of The Observatory, a publication of the Global Warming Policy Foundation of which Whitehouse is a regular contributor.
According to Skeptical Science, as well as a search of Google Scholar, David Whitehouse has not published any peer-reviewed journals on the subject of climate change. [20]
He has some journal articles in the areas of astronomy and astrophysics, [1] and he is the author of four books: The Moon:A Biography, The Sun:A Biography, Galileo, and One Small Step.
Whitehouse's articles have appeared in numerous publications and blogs, including Watts Up With That, Climate Realists, ICECAP, The Telegraph, BBC News, The Independent, and even Huffington Post.

At least 127 people have died and an estimated 2,000 are missing after heavy rains triggered landslides in mountainous northwest China's Gansu province.
The silt and mud clogged the Bailong River, which overflowed its banks.
Approximately 40,000 residents have been evacuated, China Central Television reported, but the landslides are hampering rescue efforts.
According to China's state news agency, Xinhua, many houses in Zhouqu county have collapsed, and streets and roadways are submerged under three feet of water.
"Torrential rains began around 10 p.m. On Saturday. Then there were landslides," Diemujiangteng, head of the county, told Xinhua.
"Now the sludge has become the biggest problem to rescue operations. It's too thick to walk or drive through," he said.
The government called up 3,000 soldiers to help in relief efforts, China's Ministry of National Defense said in a statement on Sunday.
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao traveled to the north from Beijing on Sunday, according to Xinhua
In the southern part of Gansu province, power outages made it difficult to assess how many of the missing were in imminent danger from the widespread flooding and landslides.
Gannan district head Mao Shengwu said in some places the water levels were rising by a meter (approximately a yard) every five minutes.
There are families standing on the roofs of their submerged houses waiting to be rescued, he said.
More than 1,450 people have died during floods this year, and an estimated 670 are still missing.

MOBILE, Alabama – Although police say a large front window on the Democratic Party Headquarters building in Mobile shattered because of previous damage, volunteers and workers aren't taking any chances.
At 6 p.m., the Mobile County Democratic Executive Committee will hold its regular meeting with a new addition: security.
"We want to make sure there's the highest level of safety and precaution for our volunteers," Mobile County Democratic Party chairman, state Rep. Napoleon Bracy said.
Police said the window appeared to have shattered because holes in it that had been patched in the glass had ruined its structural integrity.
However, Bracy said reports from volunteers and from a security guard at a neighboring bank still showed the damage may have come from a gunshot fired from Government Street.
"When the window shattered, a piece of the tint [on the outside of the window] was hanging on the inside," Bracy said. "That suggested to me and some of the volunteers that something outside had come in."
No one witnessed the alleged shooting, although Bracy said a security guard claimed to hear a gun go off before the glass shattered around 11:45 a.m.
"It was pretty panicky," Bracy said.
Volunteers were calling potential voters in Florida when the supposed shot rang out. One volunteer ran out the back of the building to the bank next door, where she called authorities.
"I'm hoping once the police finish this investigation they find out it was just an accident," Bracy said. "I hope that we haven't gotten to a point in our political climate where people have to fear for their lives based on who they support politically."
As of 4 p.m., police were still at Democratic Headquarters, examining the scene. They have not found any bullets, bullet casings or bullet holes inside the building.

September 2009
Midwest League Playoffs Predictions
I must start this blog post will a few disclaimers before getting to my predictions. First, the opinions expressed on this post are my own and not of the LumberKings, the Midwest League, the Seattle Mariners or anyone else…obviously. Second, I always say that any team can win when it comes to a best-of-three series, so these predictions are very tough to make. Third, it's just for fun, so enjoy.
The LumberKings unfortunately did not make the playoffs this season for the first time since 2006, yet I've been asked by many folks who I think will win the Midwest League Championship this season. Now I'll be able to refer them to this blog post rather than hash out my theories.
East Division
First Round (Best of Three): Great Lakes @ West Michigan, South Bend @ Fort Wayne.
My Prediction: Great Lakes in 3, Fort Wayne in 2
When it comes to the East, it's hard to pick against any of these teams. West Michigan has won championships in 2006 and 2007, while South Bend has made the playoffs five-straight years under manager Mark Haley and won the East last year before losing to Burlington.
Meanwhile, Fort Wayne and Great Lakes each had moster offensive seasons. The TinCaps were dominant from start to finish and won 94 games under co-Manager of the Year Doug Dascenzo. The Loons had split MWL MVP's in Kyle Russell (26 HR, 102 RBI) and Dee Gordon (96 runs scored, 73 steals) as Great Lakes sported a playoff team for the first time in their three years of existence.
I like the experience of both the Whitecaps and Silver Hawks, but it's just too hard to pick against the TinCaps and Loons. Both have 16-game winners in Erik Davis (FTW) and Jon Michael Redding (GL), and both have superior offensive firepower. So, it's a Fort Wayne/Great Lakes showdown in the East Division Finals.
Second Round (Best of Three): Great Lakes @ Fort Wayne
My Prediction: Great Lakes in 3
Yes, I'm well aware that everyone Dascenzo has put in the lineup has succeeded for the TinCaps, the hottest team in the league all year. Yes, I'm aware of the nearly unbeatable Zach Herr/Brad Brach combo at the back end of the pen. Yes, I know the TinCaps have home field advantage and were 50-20 at Parkview Field. I don't care. Great Lakes has Gordon running wild atop the order, and even he doesn't lead the club in runs scored. That would be the darkhorse of this series, Jaime Pedroza (100 runs scored, 15 HR, 78 RBI). The fact that the Loons' offense has remained unchanged most of the season will benefit them in this series. It'll be a close-fought battle, but the Loons will take the first game at Dow Diamond and find a way to win the clincher in Fort Wayne. Congrats, Loons, you're my pick for the East.
West Division
First Round (Best of Three): Peoria @ Cedar Rapids, Burlington @ Kane County
My Prediction: Peoria in 2, Kane County in 3
The West Division lacked most of the big-name offensive talent in the league this year, but tell that to the Peoria Chiefs. The Ryan Flaherty/Rebel Ridling/Kyler Burke trio is scary. Unfortunately for the Chiefs, they lost their leadoff hitter in Brett Jackson to injury. I don't think that will matter, especially given what the LumberKings just saw out of Jose Valdez. He's not quite Dee Gordon, but he gets on base. Even if he doesn't make an impact as my darkhorse, Peoria is clearly the better offensive team than Cedar Rapids. Mix in the fact that the Chiefs hit .290 against Kernels pitching this year, including .314 against Manuarys Correa, .382 against Ryan Chaffee and an astounding .632 against lefty Will Smith. Seeya, Kernels.
The Kane County/Burlington series is probably the most even-matched of the first round pairings. The Cougars captured their spot in the first half and then lost stars like Grant Desme and Steve Kleen, then started (slowly) to play better down the stretch. Burlington was the team in the middle of the pack that got hot and captured the Wild Card. Am I bitter towards the Bees? Probably a little, but I won't let that affect my pick.
The loss of Nick Francis to suspension didn't slow down the Bees in the recent series against the Kings, but I think they might miss him in this series. Adrian Ortiz and Jason Taylor were on the club that won the championship last year, but I just don't see the Bees getting out of this round. The Cougars win behind right-hander Kenny Smalley and whoever else can give them a solid start. Maybe that's Anvioris Ramirez, who beat Peoria in his final start on September 4 and looked sharp against us. He's my darkhorse.
Second Round (Best of Three): Kane County @ Peoria
My Prediction: Peoria in 2
This series is where Kane County's lack of offense catches up with them. You never know if Jeremy Barfield might take over the series offensively, but there's not a lot of weapons aside him, Mike Spina and Franklin Hernandez. Kane County's only shot is pitching, but I think the Chiefs will fare better with a Jeff Antigua, Chris Archer or whoever they start in the second round. The Cougars can't start Smalley every game. Congrats, Peoria, you're my pick for the West. Don't get used to it. I still dislike the Cubs.
The 2009 Midwest League Championship Series
Finals (Best of Five): Great Lakes @ Peoria
My Prediction: Great Lakes in 4
Again, bias aside, I truly think the Great Lakes Loons would win this potential series. Michael Brenly better start warming up his arm, because Gordon can be unstoppable when he gets on base. Pedroza and Russell might be held in check, but they still seem to get a consistent lift from Nick Buss, Tony Delmonico, Anthony Hatch and Alfredo Silverio. I give those hitters an edge over Nelson Perez, Junior Lake, D.J. LeMahieu and others. I also like who the Loons might run out on the mound in this series. Another start from the red-hot Redding, maybe Josh Walter in the mix, and Aaron Miller is no slouch either. If it's a close series, I give the closer edge to Great Lakes' Cole St. Clair over Peoria's Chris Huseby (ignore the ERAs and trust me on this one).
It's going to be a great series, but I have a strong psychic belief that tells me the Loons will win. Not really, but it's my prediction. Party it up in Loooooooooooooooon town!
MWL Championship "Dream Series"
Now…my "dream series" match-up: Burlington @ South Bend, the 2008 rematch for the 2009 MWL title.
This time around, Haley's Silver Hawks take the first two games and go on the road to Burlington (home field for the finals flip-flops per year, the West has it this year). The Hawks will win the series without setting foot on the field in Burlington because of two-straight days of constant hail. In a bit of Mother Nature redemption, South Bend takes their first title since 2005, and they don't even have to stop riding the go-karts at Fun City.
Hope you enjoyed my predictions. Feel free to share yours. Again, no offense if you're a fan of any city or player that I've mentioned. The great thing about our league is that any player can come up big, any team can get hot at the right time, anyone can win.
Kasparek Wins MWL ERA Title
Kenn Kasparek's 2.41 ERA is lowest in the Midwest League in 2009
Clinton, IA – Clinton LumberKings' right-hander Kenn Kasparek finished with the lowest ERA in the Midwest League amongst qualifying pitchers, effective with the end of the regular season yesterday. Kasparek's 2.41 ERA bested Kane County's Kenny Smalley, who finished second with a 2.73 ERA.
The 23-year-old Kasparek was Seattle's 12th round pick in 2008 out of the University of Texas. After struggling with an 0-2 record and 7.71 ERA in three April starts, he became one of the league's most dominant pitchers with a 10-4 record and 1.92 ERA over the rest of the season. He becomes the first Clinton pitcher to finish with the league's best ERA since Salomon Torres did in 1991 with a 1.41 ERA for the Midwest League Champion Clinton Giants.
Kasparek finished atop the club in wins (10), starts (27), quality starts (10), innings (141.2) and strikeouts (134). His 134 strikeouts and 1.12 WHIP (walks and hits per innings pitched) were both third-best in the league.
Kasparek had several highlights in 2009. He won the Midwest League Pitcher of the Week award on June 7 (0-0, 1.62 ERA, 18 strikeouts in 11.1 innings during the week), the only league pitching award claimed by a Clinton hurler this year. On August 3, he tossed a complete-game, three-hit shutout in a 5-0 win over Burlington, becoming the first LumberKing to toss a complete-game shutout since Chris Barlow did it on August 19, 2002 with an 11-0 win over Wisconsin.
The LumberKings begin the 2010 season at Alliant Energy Field on Thursday, April 8 against the Peoria Chiefs. Game time is yet to be determined. For tickets, merchandise and more information, visit www.lumberkings.com.

LumberBlog: 40th Place in August
The "Latest Leaders" list for August is out now thanks to the folks over at MLBlogosphere (mlblogs.mlblogs.com), and surprise, surprise, the LumberBlog has jumped several spots to take over 40th place on the ProBlogs list.
I know what you're thinking, 40th doesn't sound that good. There's 39 other blogs being read by more people. Consider this…the LumberBlog is just three spots behind the blog that updates Minnesota Twins fans on the progress of their highly-anticipated new ballpark and just two spots behind the famous Philadelphia Phillies Ballgirls. It's also three spots ahead of one of my big-league mentors in Brian Anderson of the Milwaukee Brewers. That's good company.
You can view the complete list here: http://mlblogs.mlblogs.com/archives/2009/09/latest_leaders_-_august_2009.html
Where exactly this blog goes from here in the coming months is uncertain. One of the things I've tried hardest to do with this blog is let the players, coaches, staff, etc. speak for themselves. My opinions have taken a backseat to their words. Now that the season is over and they've all left town (literally, there was no-one but manager Scott Steinmann in the home clubhouse an hour after today's game), I can only speak for myself.
My tentative plan is to update once a week with something. I do have a few things left up my sleeve. Keep reading and let's crack the top 40 in September!
Late Rally Eludes Kings in Season Finale
Nate Tenbrink homers and drives in two, but LumberKings still fall 4-3 to Peoria
Clinton, IA – Clinton tied the score on Nate Tenbrink's solo home run in the fourth and took the lead as Shaver Hansen scored on a wild pitch, but the LumberKings' bullpen couldn't hold it as the Peoria Chiefs came back for a 4-3 win in the final game of 2009.
Tenbrink tied the score at 1-1 in the first inning with a bases-loaded infield single to plate Luis Nunez and knotted the game at 2-2 in the fourth with his solo blast to the Lumber Lounge. His 10th home run of the season came off Chiefs' starter Alberto Cabrera.
Right-hander Andrew Carraway allowed two runs, one earned on four hits over his 6.0 innings and struck out seven in a no-decision. Jose Valdez led off the game with a double and scored on a groundout by D.J. LeMahieu and Michael Brenly reached and scored on an error in the second.
The LumberKings broke the 2-2 deadlock in the sixth as Hansen drew a two-out walk, stole third and scored on a wild pitch by right-hander Manolin DeLeon. That lead wouldn't last as right-hander Daniel Cooper (L, 0-1) yielded singles to Brenly and Junior Lake before exiting. A sacrifice fly by Nelson Perez tied the score and a Valdez groundout plated Lake for the 4-3 lead.
Left-hander Jose Jimenez and right-hander Brandon Josselyn did not allow a run over the final 2.2 innings, but the Kings offense couldn't plate the tying run.
Hansen drew his fourth and final walk to start the ninth, but was left stranded there by Peoria left-hander Jeff Beliveau. He struck out both Blake Ochoa and Ian Bladergroen, then induced Jake Shaffer into a game-ending groundout.
DeLeon (W, 5-3) ended up with the victory, while Aaron Shafer (H, 1) and Beliveau (S, 3) finished off the game.
Scott Savastano finished 1-for-2 to reach a .300 average, while Tenbrink went 3-for-3 with the home run and two RBI to finish with a team-high 59 RBI. Lake led all Peoria hitters, going 3-for-4 with a run scored. Brenly went 2-for-3 with two runs scored.
The LumberKings (29-38) return to action on Thursday, April 8, 2010 against the Peoria Chiefs at Alliant Energy Field. Game times and promotions for the 2010 season will be announced later in the offseason. For tickets, merchandise and more information, contact the LumberKings at 563-242-0727 or at email@example.com.
Game Highlights:
Final Wrap-up with Scott Steinmann
The LumberKings hit the field for the final time in 2009 on this bittersweet Labor Day at Alliant Energy Field. A six-month 140-game grind comes to an abrupt halt with no pending trip to the playoffs. Players and staff alike are excited to get some time off and see friends and family once more, but it's also the last time that this "family" will be all in one place.
The Kings showed a glimpse of their first-half selves last night, posting their 13th last at-bat win in a 5-4 comeback over the Peoria Chiefs. Nate Tenbrink lined a game-tying double to the wall in right-center and then shielded shortstop Junior Lake from Tommy Johnson's grounder. Lake committed a fielding error, sending Tenbrink home for the 5-4 lead. Cheyne Hann put runners at the corners in the top of the ninth but still locked down his 12th save.
Listen to Tenbrink's heroics here:

Scott Steinmann's club will try and match that intensity today as they play for the final time against the playoff-bound Chiefs. Read about the game in today's notes: 9.7.09 kingsnotes.pdf
Speaking of Steiny, he's my final pregame interview guest today. It's part two of my 2009 Season Wrap-up. We heard from General Manager Ted Tornow on the business side yesterday, today Steinmann talks about the benefits of his club being in a playoff race, the hitters ready for High Desert, the outstanding pitching staff, his favorite memories of the season and more.

Of course, this isn't the end of the LumberBlog for 2009, not by a long shot. Tomorrow, I'll give you my own Midwest League Playoff Preview, plus the final 2009 Season Report on your LumberKings will follow sometime next week.
Playoff Hopes End in Burlington
LumberKings lose 3-1 to Bees, Burlington captures second-half West Wild Card
Burlington, IA – Three early runs proved too much to overcome Thursday night as the Clinton LumberKings lost 3-1 to the Burlington Bees and saw their pursuit of the second-half West Division Wild Card come to an end. Ryan Wood's two-run single in the second was the difference as the Kings scored just once on four hits.
Left-hander Bobby LaFromboise (L, 8-9) yielded an RBI double to David Wood in the first and the two-run single to Ryan Wood in the second, but settled in afterwards. He gave up just those three runs on eight hits over 7.2 innings, falling just one out short of matching his career high. Right-hander Brandon Josselyn came on and stranded an inherited runner, striking out the only man he faced in the eighth.
For the second straight night, the Clinton offense was lethargic. Bees' starter Sam Runion, who came in with a 6.91 ERA and 17 home runs allowed, pitched like an ace. Runion (W, 5-11) pitched 5.1 innings of scoreless, two-hit ball. The LumberKings finally scored in the seventh against Tony Pena, Jr. as Nate Tenbrink tripled and scored on a groundout by Henry Contreras.
Pena (H, 2) allowed just that run over 2.2 innings and left-hander Blaine Hardy (S, 9) worked past a two-out single by Tenbrink for the save.
The LumberKings (27-36) complete their 2009 road schedule at Community Field in Burlington tonight, taking on the Bees (34-31) in the series finale. First pitch is scheduled for 6:30 PM. Listen to the game on AM 1390 KCLN in Clinton or live on the web at 1390kcln.com.
Gentry Gets the Call
Former LumberKings center-fielder Craig Gentry ('07) is reportedly getting the call up to the Texas Rangers today, according to our old friends at the Newberg Report.
The Rangers' 10th-round pick in 2006 hit .274 with 15 doubles, three HR, 40 runs scored, 12 RBI and 24 steals with the Kings in 2007. He was hitting .303 with 21 doubles, eight HR, 53 RBI and 49 steals in double-A Frisco for former Clinton manager Mike Micucci ('07-'08) this year.
In case you're keeping track, Gentry is set to be the fourth former LumberKing to make a Major League debut in 2009, joining Derek Holland ('08), John Mayberry, Jr. ('06) and Neftali Feliz ('08).

I've been using FC3 happily for quite a while, with a custom kernel, on
my primary laptop system, originally using FC2.
I recently installed FC3 virgin on an old laptop to use for an embedded

getting fatal "unable to open initial console" errors.
I eventually worked out that the reason for this is that /dev on the
"virgin" install is empty. Apparently FC3 by default uses udev to
populate /dev dynamically. I worked around this by copying all the /dev
nodes from another machine.
But this is a hack. I don't understand what the FC3 handoff process is
at boot time. Is it absolutely necessary to have an initial RAMdisk
when using udev? (I haven't looked inside the default initrd image
installed by FC3).
What's the recommended procedure for installing a custom kernel on an
FC3 system that was installed from scratch with default settings?
Is there a way to use udev that doesn't involve having an initial RAM

Pakistan has sentenced Dr. Shakil Afridi to 33 years in prison under its Frontier Crimes Regulations, FCR, for helping the United States hunt down and kill Osama bin Laden.
Afridi ran a vaccination clinic for the public and also helped to quietly collect DNA samples in Abbottabad of the population for the CIA's search for bin Laden for a decade. Human rights groups have called the FCR abuse because it is a special set of regulations that govern the restive tribal region of Pakistan where clan leaders and militants rule.
The verdict was handed down by a Khyber government official in consultation with a council of elders, according to Nasir Khan, a government official in the Khyber tribal area, where the doctor was arrested and tried. Pakistan called the operation that killed bin Laden "act of treachery by a supposed ally."
CBC news reports: "He was working for a foreign spy agency. We are looking after our national interests," said a Pakistani intelligence official, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with the agency's policy.'
This move had further increased tension between the two nations that call themselves allies, and it was apparent to the world when the Pakistani president was in Chicago for the NATO summit and President Obama refuses to meet with him, nor did Obama mention Pakistan among the countries he thanked in helping with the Afghanistan war effort and supply lines.
Tensions were strained by the operation to kill bin Laden by US Navy Seals and Delta forces and took another turn for the worse when a US spy drone fired on what it thought were militants but ended up killing 24 Pakistani soldiers. Obama has refused to apologize but did say the incident was regrettable while reaffirming the US position that poor communications between the military's of the two nations lead to their deaths.
Top American and British officials have called for his release saying that he worked for both the US and Pakistani interests.

Former NCAA Division II All-American Nicole Woods enters her second season as an assistant coach with the Stetson women's basketball team in 2012-13. She also serves as the program's recruiting coordinator.
On the court Woods works with the guards and post players. Off the court she is responsible for film breakdown and scouting, community relations, academic counseling for five players, and oversight of team managers and interns. She is also the director of the Stetson University Girls Basketball summer camps.
During her first season on Head Coach Lynn Bria's staff in 2011-12, Woods helped guide the Hatters to a school record 23 victories, a trip to the Atlantic Sun Conference Championship game, and the program's first appearance in the WNIT. The Hatters also set a school record with 10 consecutive victories from Dec. 8 through Jan. 12, and ranked as high as #18 in the CollegeInsider.com Top 25 Mid-Major poll. Woods coached Victoria McGowan, who was voted the Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year after leading the league in points, steals, and assists in 2011-12.
Woods arrived at Stetson in the summer of 2011 after two seasons as a graduate assistant coach at Southern Illinois University, where she worked under Missy Tiber, Woods' head coach from her playing days at Belmont Abbey College. At SIU Woods was responsible for team travel, video exchange, team game day operations, oversight of team managers, and she served as the director of summer camps. She assisted with film breakdown, scouting, and community relations, and graduated in 2011 with a Master's Degree in Public Administration.
Woods played for four seasons at Belmont Abbey, where as a senior she was selected as an NCAA Division II Bulletin Second Team All-America honoree. That season she nearly led the entire nation in scoring, averaging 24.1 points per game, finishing less than .01 ppg behind the national leader.
