Gray and Muddy Thinking about Global Warming
A more serious problem is that Gray doesn't even understand that the greenhouse effect works primarily through the effect of greenhouse gases on the top of atmosphere radiation budget, and only very indirectly through the surface budget (as explained in A busy week for water vapor). This compromises almost all of his analysis. For example, many of the supposed changes in surface budget he describes could in fact be due indirectly to changes in greenhouse gases, via their affect on low level atmospheric temperature. By balancing a 4 W/m2 (top of atmosphere) CO2 radiative forcing against changes in evaporation, Gray concludes that the warming from doubling CO2 would be a mere two tenths of a degree C.. He ascribes the weak warming to the lack of water vapor feedback in his calculation, but in fact it is simply due to an incorrect calculation of the energy balance. Standard radiative physics based on a correct treatment of the top-of-atmosphere balance– physics going back at least to Arrhenius– yields a surface warming of about 1C in response to a doubling of CO2, when water vapor feedback is neglected. Gray has committed the major blunder of applying that 4 W/m2 top of atmosphere forcing at the surface. In reality, when that radiative forcing is properly applied at the top of the atmosphere, it leads to a warming of the entire atmospheric column which, at the surface, yields a far larger perturbation in the surface energy budget, as we have explained in the above-referenced article.
By the way, Gray discounts water vapor feedback, based on what seems to be a gut feeling on weather systems, plus some unspecified analysis of the NCEP reanalysis dataset (which is completely unsuitable for studying trends in mid tropospheric water vapor); more reliable satellite based studies (e.g. Soden's study described in A busy week for water vapor ) support a positive water vapor feedback, and even Lindzen seems to be no longer arguing against this feedback.
Claim: Ocean heat storage is inconsistent with CO2 as a cause of warming
Gray also made a mess of an attempt to analyze the mid-twentieth century ocean heat storage. "… the globe underwent a weak cooling between 1950 and 1975 during which CO2 amounts were rising and causing a continuous mean energy gain over this 25 year period of about 0.4 W/m2. If all of this energy went into an accumulation of temperature in the upper 100 m of the global oceans, we would see an upper mean 100 m global ocean temperature increase of 1.1oC. " We are not sure where Gray gets the 0.4 W/m2 radiative forcing figure; the total radiative forcing increase from pre-industrial times to 1975 would be more like .95 W/m2 and it is not a trivial matter to figure out how much to subtract from that to account for the part compensated by ocean warming before 1950; the CO2 radiative forcing increase between 1950 to 1975, on the other hand, would be only .45 W/m2 and the mean new forcing over the period would be about half that. Be that as it may, Gray has not even done the arithmetic right, since .4 W/m2 going into a 100m mixed layer having specific heat of 4200 J/kg and density of about 1000 kg/m3 would only yield a warming of .75C . That's far from the worst flaw in his calculation, since his two biggest blunders are the neglect of the radiative cooling due to sulfate aerosols (known to be a critical factor in the period in question) and his neglect of the many links in the chain of physical effects needed to translate a top of atmosphere radiative imbalance to a change in net surface energy flux imbalance. In fact, the calculation has been done very carefully by Hansen and co-workers, taking all factors into consideration, and when compared with observations of ocean heat storage over a period long enough for the observed changes to be reliably assessed, models and observations agree extremely well (see this article and this article.).

First Post! Picking up new '14 Subie tomorrow, Tips?
Hello all,
VW owner who's expanding their garage.
I am picking up my new 2014 WRX hatch tomorrow, and i was wondering if ya'll had some tips on what to do/not to do right off the bat...like when im driving it home, trust me, ill get to mods in a few months.
I have read some posts on breaking it in, as well as the whole soft break in technique but im hoping someone could give me a bit more detailed info surrounding all of that?
Thanks All!
Looking forward to getting to know everyone on here.
Drive it normally, however I wouldn't be doing hole shots and bouncing off the rev limiter.
Get a Cobb ap and flash to stage 1, best money I ever spent. These cars should come off the line tuned that way.

Read the owners manual. Lots of good info in there and I think it even tells you how to drive during break in. Just drive normal. Nothing crazy.
First thing I did when I bought mine new was read the owners manual from cover to cover. Its amazing how many simple little things you can learn from it.
Thank you!
Thank you both so much!
Ill look into Cobb in the next few days! Seems like a good investment.

Choose Between Two Options
- $25 for a four-hour jewelry technique class for one person (a $50 value)
- $75 for a five-week beginning jewelry-making class, with one three-hour lesson per week (a $150 value)
In the four-hour workshop, an instructor guides students through the hand-making of a sterling-silver band. The process introduces basic techniques including sawing, soldering, forming, finishing, and stone setting. Students then can choose from an in-house collection of gemstones to add a splash of color. All materials and tools are provided.
Those who enroll in a five-week class can expect to complete 2–3 jewelry projects, including the ring project outlined above. In addition, students learn many classic techniques, including how to make a bezel setting by hand. For this class, tool and studio use are provided, but students must supply their own materials. A materials list will be provided at registration, along with a list of merchants where the materials may be found.
Five-week classes will be held on Tuesdays from either 10 a.m.–1 p.m. or 7 p.m.–10 p.m., while four-hour workshops will take place on the third and fourth Saturdays of each month from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Click here for a list of available classes.

Has anyone run both a 14 gauge and 16 gauge wire through the front doors of a WRX yet? From what I am see, it appears that I can get away with disconnecting the boot at the body side outside the kick, disconnecting the molex plug in the kick, pulling the molex out between the door and the body, then snaking the wires through the boot. I'd be willing to bet that typing it out is way easier and faster than actually performing that task.
My reason for doing so is that I am planning on running my midrange and tweet active, and I think the factory wire is a tad bit small for the job. Also, I don't want to hack up any of the factory wires to make the vehicle easier to return to stock. Further more, no matter how you slice it, I'll still be running at least ONE new wire into the door due to the fact that the factory tweeter is split off the existing wire.
Now for a totally off the wall point... Why is it when I keep all the stuff pristine to return the vehicle back to stock, I never have the need to return the vehicle back to stock? Conversely, when I don't preserve the OEM parts to return the vehicle back to stock, I end up wishing I could have returned the vehicle back to stock.

It is far more desirable for you as a submitting artist to be versed in penciling, inking, and writing. As publishers, we prefer creators who can do it all. If you can't ink your own work, you can team yourself with an inker, but remember, the royalty will now be spread between you and the inker. The same deal applies if you work with a writer. It's much more beneficial for you to be multi-talented in these areas, but it's not essential. If you can do it all, then it's better for you and for us.
Address your package as follows:
ATTN: Submissions Editor
7272 Wurzbach #204
San Antonio, TX 78240
We have two submissions editors who review the submissions and then distribute them to the appropriate editors, who will then do their own reviews and make a decision on what steps will be taken with the work. At this point, you will either be contacted or your work will be put on file. We try to respond to every submission, but if you do not receive a response, please don't be discouraged. Unfortunately, due to the large number of submissions we receive and the limited number of our staff, it is difficult to respond in a timely manner, or worse, your submission may become lost. If this is the case, please continue to send submissions in to us. This helps ensure your work will be seen and demonstrates your tenacity and professionalism.
Whom NOT to Submit to:
Do not send submissions to anyone other than the Submissions Editor.
1. ONE COMPLETE ISSUE (22-30 pages) of rendered (penciled, inked) SEQUENTIAL art. MAKE SURE THAT THESE ARE NOT YOUR ORIGINALS, but PHOTOCOPIES of your work.
2. We tend to look for a MANGA/ANIME style of artwork, a style that many of our creators employ. If you don't have this style, that's fine; we'll review your work regardless. Besides, manga is not the only style we publish.
3. Examples of published work if applicable.
4. If you wish to submit your own original series, we suggest you start with a one-shot or a 3- to 4-issue mini-series. This is for the reasons stated above regarding retailers and the current state of the industry. Starting with a one-shot or mini-series will enable you and the publisher to gauge the response of retailer and fan response without dedicating a large amount of time and resources to a book that may be canceled due to poor sales. Keep in mind that the average comic book generally consists of 24-32 pages. If your story consists of more than 4-6 issuesfor instance, 8 or morewe suggest breaking it up into chapters that can fill 3- to 4-issue arcs and running them as consecutive mini-series. If you already have material prepared, then send us a synopsis of the story and some sample pages of the art if possible. These sample pages can range from one issue to the entire mini-series if you have it.
1. A portfolio of pin-ups. Remember, we're in the panel-to-panel business.
2. NO ORIGINALS. PHOTOCOPIES ONLY, please. Due to the high volume of submissions we receive, we cannot send back submissions and we cannot track which are originals and which are copies. If we want your originals, we will request them. They are filed separately from our submissions and are RETURNED to you after your work has seen print. Sending copies of your work will also avoid your work getting damaged in the submission pile.
1. 1- to 4-page typed STORY SYNOPSIS and/or TREATMENTS. Unfortunately, we don't have the time or manpower to read every full script we receive. If we like your idea, we'll request a script from you.
2. A typed cover sheet of the overview of your story. Example: How many issues the story will be and how many pages per issues. 1- to 4-issue mini-series are preferred over ongoing series. Stories that are finite encourage the retailer to give your new comic a chance, and, even if sales are low, we, the publishers, will be more likely to finish the mini-series' run for the sake of completeness. Ongoing, unproven series that get low sales are more likely to be cancelled because of the monthly financial loss.
3. Published work that you've done, if applicable.
1. Full 20-issue scripts or a 1000-page opus that we do not have time to read.
The following guidelines are intended for creators who want to contribute to the Gold Digger fan annuals: Gold Digger Annual and the Gold Digger Swimsuit Special. Since they are published annually, you may submit to these at any time. If your submission is accepted but you missed the deadline for the current issue, you will automatically be scheduled for the subsequent issue.
Currently, the GD Swimsuit and GD Annual are in color, which requires more lead time for our color-book printer. The annual deadlines are as follows:
The following rules and restrictions apply:
All physical submissions should be sent to:
Submissions Editor
Antarctic Press
7272 Wurzbach, Suite 204
San Antonio, TX 78240
Digital submission notices should be sent to David Hutchison and/or Doug Dlin.
If for a specific publication, mention that publication after "Submissions Editor." (Example: For a Gold Digger Annual, the submission would be sent to "Submissions Editor, GD Annual") Remember, there's a lot of competition trying to get into these books. As a result, we get tons of stories featuring or Gina and Cheetah for the GD annuals. You might want to consider focusing on one of the interesting side characters instead. These stories are not considered part of regular continuity, so feel free to go wild; let your imaginations soar!
Good luck!
These guidelines are intended for creators who want to contribute to any of our running black and white comics anthologies. AP has published many anthologies over the years and will continue to do so. An "anthology" is a collection of stories by various contributors. These stories do not need to be linked in any way. Usually for our anthologies the only common theme is the stories or art have a manga or anime influence. However, it is not required. We publish these anthologies sporadically. We tend to collect contributions over time to fill out a certain amount of issues and proceed to print from there, so you may send contributions in at any time. The advantage in doing anthology work is, unlike our annuals or swimsuits (which are based on titles owned by their respective creators), it allows you to do your own creator-owned material. It's an opportunity for you to showcase your talent and ideas.
The following rules and restrictions apply:
All submissions should be sent to:
Submissions Editor
Antarctic Press
7272 Wurzbach, Suite 204
San Antonio, TX 78240
Good luck!
Take a look at the kind of books that our company publishes. As you'll notice, most independents don't publish superhero titles, so it is recommended that you submit concepts that are specific to that company. Some of the concepts out there have more universal appeal to many publishers, some don't. Gear your submission toward the style and look of the books a specific company publishes.
It is also wise for an artist to show sequential pages of art rather than pin-ups. A pin-up won't show us how well you can tell a story from page to page, and we are in the business of telling stories with panels. Some submissions will call for pin-up material, such as our annuals and swimsuit editions, be sure to read the specific guidelines for each submission call.
The American comic book industry has been suffering for years from a shrinking market due to competition from other entertainment venues such as video games and the internet. This competition is fierce, and many stores and comic book companies have closed since the "crash" of the industry in the early '90s. Compounding the problem is the diminished number of distribution outlets, as well as the severe economic downturn following the banking industry problems that came to a head in 2008/2009, which just made things tougher on the remaining distribution outlets, retail outlets and publishers.
What does that mean to you?
The potential for a book having a large initial print run has declined greatly since the '90s. Although there are exceptions to this, the reality is that sales across the board are not what they used to be. A new creator doing a book for an independent publisher can expect to sell only a few thousand copies.
Because many retailers are not willing to take a chance on a book or a creator they've never heard of before. Retailers must budget their money wisely. They must be able to sell the products they order from the publishers. If they are unsure of the quality of the product (e.g., a new and unknown writer/artist), they are reluctant to commit valuable budget money or shelf space for it. This may change as a creator slowly builds a fan base and gets more recognition for his book, but there are no guarantees.
The key factor motivating you to do comics should be your passion for the medium and the desire to tell stories. This desire should far outweigh your need for huge financial gain. Can you make a living doing comics? Of course you can, and many people do, but it takes a great deal of hard work, dedication, and perseverance, especially in today's comic market. Keep in mind the competition is enormous, there are lots of talented people out there who want to contribute to the comic book market, but only those with a realistic view of it and a dedication to it will get in the industry and survive, and possibly thrive. Unless you are exceptionally talented and start off on a book for one of the major publishers chances are you will not find success right away. The runaway overnight success is extremely rare for a first time creator or book. A new creator should at least start with the solid foundation of a book with a certain level of quality, preferably on a regular monthly basis and always be on time. If the initial sales numbers of your first book are low, don't worry. If you have a book that people want they will find it, and the word will spread. The creator should present his work to as many people as possible, as often as he can. This is how you build a fan base. With hard work, dedication, and a little luck, your sales will increase over time. This has been the case for many of our creators. Hard work, dedication, and perseverance produce results.
How OUR company works with talent
Antarctic Press is among the top 10 publishers of comics in the United States. However, the difference in market shares between the top five publishers and the next five publishers is dramatic. Most of the publishers ranked above us have a far greater share of the market place. That being the case, we are an independent publisher with a small staff, and many of our employees have multiple responsibilities. Bigger companies would spread these responsibilities out among a larger staff. Additionally, we don't have the same financial power as a larger company. We cannot afford to pay high page rates; instead, we work on an advance and royalty system which is determined by sales or potential sales of a particular book. We pride ourselves on being a company that gives new talent a chance to get published and take a shot at comic stardom.
We get a huge volume of submissions, so the chances of AP publishing your book, or having a regular job as talent on one of our books is tough, but it's definitely possible with the right mix of skill and dedication.
We do have annuals, anthologies, and specials (swimsuit issues, etc.) that are venues for talent to get their work published. Some of these books are specifically connected to the source material (e.g., the Gold Digger Swimsuit issue will naturally have Gold Digger characters and situations.) Review the guidelines for these specifics before you submit to them.
Essentially, we give amateur and professional talent an opportunity to publish projects other companies might not. You could be the next Ben Dunn, Fred Perry, Joseph Wight, Terry Moore, GURU eFX, or one of many other talented AP alumni who have made a career in comics. All it takes is hard work and dedication.

Former U.S. Sen. Mark Dayton officially kicked off his campaign for governor today after being in the race for a year. After the announcement, Dayton took just three questions from reporters after parading six supporters up to the podium to introduce him. He also gave a ten minute speech.
Dayton said he wouldn't take any more questions when I tried to follow up in the hallway. His response: "You have my story for the day."
I'll post video of his announcement and his brief q and a session when it's converted.
Here's Dayton's speech:

The Star Tribune's Rachel Stassen-Berger said Dayton told her "You can call me any time you want to ask as many questions as you want…You have my number."

The goal of a prosecutor is to win the case. what role does justice and ethics play in reaching this goal?
2 Answers | Add Yours
To me, the role that justice and ethics should play in this goal is twofold:
- Prosecutors should not bring cases in which they do not believe in the guilt of the defendant.
- Prosecutors must seek the truth during the case -- not just try to win. As the link I have added here says
A prosecutor is expected at times to step out of this conventional adversarial role and to act as a monitor both of substantive and procedural justice in ways not expected of criminal defense lawyers or civil advocates.
What this is saying is that prosecutors should not go all out to win in the same way that defense attorneys should. Prosecutors should not try to obscure the truth because they are not only interested in winning the cases -- they represent the government whose first goal should be to see justice done.
So prosecutors should not try to, for example, discredit a witness if they believe the witness is telling the truth. They should not try to cheat in order to win.
This means that justice and ethics should mitigate the prosecutors' desire to win their cases. Cases should only be won using just and ethical means.
The statement that the goal of a prosecutor is to win the case is rather controversial. Winning a case is definitely an important consideration in the activities of any lawyer or attorney, whether representing the prosecution or the defendant. But the layers from both the side also have the responsibility of protect and uphold the law.
Knowingly and purposefully causing prosecution of an Innocent, or acquittal of a guilty person is not really the goal of any honest lawyer. The duty of lawyer is provide the best possible legal support to secure and protect the legal rights of the client represented. These legal rights do not include the right to use falsehood or other similar illegal and unethical practices to protect illegitimate interests of the client.
Both justice and ethics are intended to support and protect what is right, and to oppose what is wrong. Both these guide the action of every honest lawyer. And most certainly no dishonest act can be considered just and ethical.

The enterprise network is the ugly duckling of enterprise technology landscape, looked at disparagingly by CIOs and often ignored by the business. The enterprise network is much less exciting than all the fancy projects like cloud, mobility, and big data.
Yet the enterprise network represents the vital underpinning for all these projects and increasingly evolves into a business-critical asset for companies looking to succeed in the age of the customer. It becomes the nervous system of the digital business. It facilitates deeper customer engagement by connecting manufacturers, sellers, and buyers of products in new ways, and it helps drive more operational efficiencies as it supports closer collaboration and connects previously disjointed assets. For most business leaders, the network infrastructure isn't much more than a utility, such as electricity or plumbing, while most CIOs don't know how to monetize it. This is a business challenge for the connected business as:

Hiking / Canoeing
Hike through remote Yukon wilderness with a group of huskies as companions. For summer fun, our sled dogs join us on hiking and backpacking tours. The dogs help out by carrying the food and tents, so you only need to carry your personal equipment.
Day 1: Pick up in Whitehorse. We then drive 45 minutes out the North Klondike Highway to Lake Laberge where we change to a boat for the 5 1/2 mile (9 km) trip across the lake to our wilderness cabins and sled dog kennel. We have a picnic lunch on arrival. After lunch, we take an afternoon hike with some of our sled dogs in the spectacular area overlooking the lake. The dogs help out as pack dogs on our backpacking trip, but today they will just join us for fun and exercise. In the late afternoon, we return home for a cook-out supper at the lakeshore. Overnight at the home cabins.
Day 2: Today we put on our backpacks and head out with the dogs to a beautiful secluded lake. The hike takes us along ridge-tops, through forests, and along little lakes. After an initial climb, it is relatively flat most of the way. All together, it usually takes about 3 1/2 hours of walking time to get to our camp, plus lunch and rest stops. Once we arrive at the lake and set up our tents, you may want to take a swim or relax in camp. Or we may take a late afternoon or evening hike (without backpacks) up a hill behind the camp for a wide view over the area that we hiked through.
Day 3: Our hike takes us through beautiful Yukon scenery back down to the shores of Lake Laberge where we set up camp for the second night. If we are lucky, we may hear wolves, coyotes, or loons as we lie in our sleeping bags.
Day 4: This morning after dogs and people have had breakfast, we pack up camp and put on our backpacks for the trip back to the home cabins.
Days 5 to 7: These days are spent based from our home cabins, exploring the spectacular Lake Laberge area by foot, boat, and canoe. You may also want to try a summer dog team ride on wheels (if it is not too hot) one evening.
For guests with less time, it is possible to return to Whitehorse on the evening of Day 4 or the morning of Day 5 (see Backpacking with Pack Dogs).

Little-known retreat boon for writers
Apr 15, 2005 —
Topics: Arts & Culture

When the nominees gather tomorrow night to hear the winners of the Minnesota Book Awards they'll have several things in common. Many of the nominees have spent time at a writers retreat at a little-known campus just outside Red Wing. The Anderson Center is the largest artist residence in Minnesota, and the writers who have been there say it changed their lives and their work. Minnesota Public Radio's Greta Cunningham has more.

Fill in the blank with the correct form of the conditional tense. Tú me _____ una respuesta. Daría; darías ; daríais
2 Answers | Add Yours
The answer to your question is "Tú me dariás una respuesta."
The first option, "daría" is used with third person subjects such as "el and ella."
The third option, "daríais", is a conditional applied to the second person, "vos", in Iberian Spanish. This is the type of Spanish that still conserves the ancient replacement of "usted", a more respectful form of address in the second person, with "vos". It is a Spanish form used mainly in Spain and some areas of Central and South America, namely, in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Colombia.
Therefore, the use of "darías" goes hand in hand with the second person casual "tú ".
Tú me darías una respuesta.

Many reports are coming in that Chinese users are having trouble accessing a number of Google's web products. There is no word on the exact cause of the service disruptions, but The Wall Street Journal noted Google's Transpareny Report website shows "a precipitous drop in traffic in China starting more than eight hours ago," although the site doesn't list the services as completely inaccessible in the country. Google provided a statement to WSJ confirming the interruptions do not appear to be on its end:
"We've checked and there's nothing wrong on our end," a Google spokeswoman said in a prepared statement.
The Washington Post reported "Users with special VPN (virtual private network) services," which many Chinese users take advantage of to access banned sites like Facebook, are still able to access Google's services. expand full story

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
In April, Chris Capuano looked like he would be a key part of the Boston Red Sox bullpen, a vaunted lefty reliever who had given up zero runs in 11 appearances.
Two months later, the Red Sox re-signed Stephen Drew, solidifying the left side of the infield to make a push for the playoffs.
Today, both will take the field at Fenway Park…only they won't be wearing Red Sox uniforms. Instead, they'll be coming out of the visitor's dugout as members of the New York Yankees.
Ladies and gentlemen, your 2014 Red Sox!
The Red Sox released Capuano at the end of June after he surrendered 10 earned runs in a mere four innings of work for the month. The Yankees acquired him a month later from the AAA affiliate of the Colorado Rockies for cash considerations. Now Capuano will get the start against his former team, his second start of the season (both with New York). In his last start, Capuano got the no decision in a loss to Toronto, giving up two earned runs on five hits and four walks in six innings of work. He also had four strikeouts.
Drew, of course, was shipped to the Yankees just before the 4 p.m. trade deadline yesterday in exchange for the injured Kelly Johnson. In other words, the Red Sox would have unloaded Drew for a bag of beans (and I don't mean Jack's magic ones) in order to get a better look at Xander Bogaerts and Will Middlebrooks on the left side. For the Yankees, Drew will likely get the start tonight (and most nights) at second base, with the newly acquired Chase Headley manning the hot corner and Derek Jeter entrenched at shortstop. Drew would certainly seem to be a candidate to inherit Jeter's position once he retires at the end of this season, however.
The Red Sox, of course, will have some new faces of their own for the first time after yesterday's busy trade deadline. Newly acquired outfielders Yoenis Cespedes and Allen Craig should be in the corner outfield spots, and Anthony Ranaudo has been called up from Pawtucket to take the hill opposite Capuano.
Not exactly the August Red Sox-Yankees series we were expecting, is it?

It looks as if the wife of resigned Swiss central banking chief Philipp Hildebrand wasn't the only one to profit from a tumble in the value of the Swiss franc last year. The Swiss National Bank reckons it will move back into the black for 2011, boosted by the rising value of its foreign currency holdings.
Hildebrand's wife - Kashya, aka Cash-ya - made around 75,000 Swiss francs (£52,000) betting against the Swissie last August weeks before the SNB put a cap on the value of the currency to protect growth and ward off deflation, sending its value plunging. After a record loss in 2010 brought about by fruitless attempts to weaken its currency, it expects a $13.7 billion (£8.9 billion) profit this time.
A contrite Mrs Hildebrand, an ex-currency trader, gave her gains to charity but failed to appease the critics. Perish the thought she'd be tempted to have another dabble in the markets now her husband has quit...
Tweeting CEO falls so silent
Is chief executive Philip Clarke to blame for Tesco's first profits warning in three decades? He's certainly gone quiet in recent weeks. The normally loquacious Tweeter hasn't visited the microblogging site since December 31. Then he fired off some congratulatory New Year Honours messages, including one to "David Reid, our former chairman awarded a knighthood for services to business and charity". But since then, silence.
Well, he has been busy. But not busy enough, it seems. The headline of Tesco's disappointing trading statement yesterday declared: "Determined to move faster."
*Early exchanges with the Tesco press office about its Christmas results included a laughable attempt to deny that the supermarket had actually issued a profit warning. "It's not technically a profit warning," says the Tesco flack. But it has phrases like "profit growth around the low end of the current consensus range", which looks uncannily like a profit warning, so we're going to call it a profit warning. "That would be inaccurate," insists the PR gamely. Meanwhile shares plummet 14%.
*What recession? Speaking at the London School of Economics this week, the Keynes biographer Robert Skidelsky told a story of an MP friend who has a constituency that takes in part of Chelsea. The MP asked one constituent to name the biggest social problem in the area. The response: "The noise neighbours make installing underground swimming pools is intolerable. Can you please make it stop!" Let's hope Lord Skidelsky, a crossbencher, makes it a top priority.
*Jeremy Warner of the Daily Telegraph is doing his Stuart Pearce impression. The former England football captain and world famous headcase used to implore his players before games with the words "remember, their hearts are smaller than yours. That's why you were born English". Warner writes in Thursday's Tel: "Let's rise above the gloom. Those of us who were born British still have good reason to be thankful for it." Onwards and upwards!
*The Times home-delivery service has run into what sounds like quite big problems. One customer complains that they requested, by both email and a subsequent phone call, that the paper should not be delivered during the Christmas holidays because they would be away. Alas the paper continued to be delivered. "Leaving papers on the front door step was a security risk," says the unhappy customer in an email they sent to The Times. The complaint, which has been shown to City Spy, continues: "After a very long hold on a call from Switzerland I eventually spoke to an operator in order to suspend delivery of papers; he promised me it would happen. It did not. Despite repeated requests to put the daily paper through the letterbox they were not. This morning, having held on two separate occasions for eleven minutes, I have been told to try later." City Spy is told: "The customer services operator I spoke to acknowledged that the phone system has had a surge of calls that they are incapable of dealing with." This comes just after The Times raised its prices for home delivery.
Denmark's greatest export?
To the Danish Embassy off Sloane Street for a reception by the country's new envoy, Anne Hedensted Steffensen, to mark the beginning of her country's presidency of the European Union.
She clambered on to a simple stool to make herself heard among the business, political and diplomatic types, acknowledging Denmark was now famous for one thing above all, the hit TV drama The Killing.
She went on to describe it pithily as a "neglectful single mother wears the same jumper for twenty episodes". The Ambassador said more broadly that Denmark, not known for being overly pro-European, hoped to demonstrate to Britain a "keep calm and carry on" approach about the value of the EU. Good luck!
Vaizey is game
"I am your minister," Ed Vaizey, the minister for the creative industries, said to cheers as he praised the advertising industry and singled out the recent hit John Lewis TV ad for driving sales at a new year drinks reception, thrown by the Institute of Practitioners in Advertising at its Belgrave Square HQ last night.
Vaizey was introduced by Nicola Mendelsohn, executive chairman of ad agency Karmarama and president of the IPA, who revealed the Tory minister had told her he is a big fan of Nintendo Wii and the video game Mario-Kart. So much so that Vaizey wanted a gaming room in the House of Commons. "Some people think the House of Commons already is a gaming room, of course," said Mendelsohn.
Vaizey told the great and the good of ad land that, unlike some other unnamed government departments that see advertising as a source of trouble, he wants to work closely with them on everything from finding young creative talent to sorting out e-privacy. The latter "sounds quite dull", he admitted."It is quite dull!"
Ah, the perils of being a minister...

Regional meeting brings state speakers to lakes area
In the fall of 2010 the Region Five Development Commission received a Housing and Urban Development grant supporting a multi-jurisdictional planning effort and will be used to build economic competitiveness throughout the region.
The areas of focus are housing, transportation, economic development and land use. What participants have learned thus far and where they want to go next is part of a session planned from 4-7 p.m. Aug. 14 at Arrowwood Lodge in Baxter (formerly The Lodge at Brainerd Lakes).
At the session, participants will hear what has been achieved on the process to date and what the group hopes to achieve and hear from federal, state and local perspectives.
Bob McLean, Hunt Utilities Group/Resilient Living Council and chair of the Resilient Region Advisory Board, is scheduled to provide the welcome and overview.
Other presenters include: Dan Frank, Initiative Foundation & Stacey Stockdill, EnSearch Inc.; Deanna Hemmesch, Central Minnesota Housing Partnership; Jake Huebsch, Region Five Development Commission; Phil Hunsicker, Envision Minnesota; Tad Erickson, Region Five Development Commission; Jean Coleman, University of Minnesota Regional Sustainable Development Partnerships.
Federal observations from U.S. Sen. Al Franken. Funding agency perspective from Shelly R. Poticha, director, Office of Sustainable Housing and Communities.
The state panel discussion has moderator Colleen Landkamer, United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development state director. Scheduled panelists include: David Frederickson, agriculture commissioner; Mark Phillips, Department of Employment and Economic Development commissioner; Mary Tingerthal, Minnesota Housing Finance Agency; Michelle Beeman, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency deputy commissioner; Bev Durgan, University of Minnesota dean of Extension: and may include Mike Rothman, Commerce commissioner.
Local comment are scheduled from Cheryal Lee Hills, Region Five Development Commission and Dan Frank, Initiative Foundation.
The event includes special entertainment by the Theater of Public Policy and refreshments with time to mingle and network as part of the event.
The issues and opportunities faced by businesses, local governments and citizens are commonly shared throughout the region. Twenty-six activities in the focus areas are being addressed.
The city of La Crescent, in the southeastern corner of Minnesota, may be a valuable learning experience for every other community in Minnesota trying to find a balance of development with conservation, the group reported.
La Crescent is trying to figure out how to develop on sensitive bluff lands that rise up from the nearby Mississippi River.
A developer has already identified a hillside parcel in La Crescent on which he would like to build a housing development using conservation design principles. These include permanently protecting the most sensitive areas, limiting imperious surfaces, clustering homes in non-sensitive areas, managing stormwater runoff, and being transparent with his development intentions, but even with all those good ideas, the city still isn't sure if its current regulations are sufficient for protecting sensitive bluff lands.
In addition, the city wants to be certain that this development proposal and future bluff land development applications adequately address the concerns of neighboring residents.
La Crescent has decided to use this issue to bring their community together to try and answer the question: What is reasonable regulation for development on sensitive lands? The city has acquired an Environmental Protection Agency technical assistance grant through Envision Minnesota that will allow it to work through its dilemma by conducting frank and open discussions with community members and including in those discussions the advice of outside experts who can add something new to the conversation. The city is encouraging civic and civil discussions about an important issue, and is open to new ideas.

Ex-servicemen can soon make online appointments for MH CTC, MH Kirkee
Pune: The Southern Command Hospital (CHSC), which has started a website for better service delivery to its patients, on Saturday said that it will now extend this facility for the patients of other two major military hospitals in the city, viz Military Hospital Kirkee (Khadki) and Military Hospital Cardio Thoracic Centre (MH CTC). This will help a larger number of patients to avail this benefit.
"We have started the website to facilitate better service delivery to our patients in terms of online appointments with doctors, knowing the availability of the doctors on a given date and get the test results directly without being physically present at the hospital every time. We have decided to extend this facility to MH Khadki and MH CTC, which will help more patients," Commandant, CHSC Maj Gen V Ravishankar told Sakal Times here.
The CHSC website, www.chscpune.org, will include three speciality departments, which are functional at both these hospitals. The departments are Respiratory Medicine, Cardiology and Orthopedics department.
"This service is for serving military personnel, ex-servicemen and their families. Once operational, the patients visiting the departments at MHCTC and MH Khadki can get online appointments to visit the specialists and get treatment done," Head, Department of Dermatology, Col Rajesh Verma said.
Col Verma said that at present 11 departments of CHSC have been listed on this website where appointments can be sought online by the ex-servicemen and personnel serving in the Armed Forces. This work is likely to get completed within a month. CHSC has become the first hospital under the Armed Forces Medical Services in the entire country to have its own website in a civilian domain.
"The website has been developed by city-based IT company Ninad Web Tech and has been funded by Headquarters Southern Command. The recurring cost will be borne by the hospital. There are different departments listed on the website. There are different time slots too. After one time slot gets filled, it gets blocked," Maj Gen Ravishankar said.
According to the Commandant, an SMS will be sent automatically once the appointment is fixed.

There was an extra body at Raptors practice Thursday night.
Erick Dampier, a free-agent centre looking for an NBA job, met with Raptors president and general manager Bryan Colangelo and is expected to make a decision on a contract offer shortly. He sat and watched the second practice of the day with team officials but was not available to the media.
According to NBA sources, the Raptors and Houston Rockets have the best chance to land the 35-year-old Dampier, who was waived this summer by the Charlotte Bobcats after they acquired him from the Dallas Mavericks. Dampier, 6-foot-11 and about 265 pounds, appeared in 55 games with the Mavs last year, averaging six points and 7.3 rebounds.
Because of NBA salary cap and roster restrictions, Dampier is only going to be in line for a veteran minimum salary, which is just over $1.3 million U.S.
The Raptors, who already have the maximum 15 players under contract, would have to create a roster spot to add Dampier, who has appeared in 921 NBA regular season games, averaging 7.8 points and 7.4 rebounds with Indiana, Golden State and Dallas.
Earlier, in a common-sense move, the team picked up the third-year option on DeMar DeRozan's rookie scale contract. The move had to be made by Oct. 31 and the Raptors wasted no time locking up the 21-year-old swingman, who is entering his second year in the league.
"I'm happy," said DeRozan. "It shows that I'm really liked here and hopefully I'm here for a while."
DeRozan averaged 8.6 points and 2.9 rebounds in 77 games in his rookie season.
• The Raptors aren't exactly taking Vancouver by storm. The team will hold its annual open scrimmage at the University of British Columbia on Sunday afternoon. The gym seats 3,000, but only about 1,000 people have made the $15 donation to charity for a ticket.

Governor Steve Beshear today announced Vermont Thread Gage LLC will invest more than $1.7 million in its Franklin plant, expanding the facility by 35,000 square feet. The project will also add 15 new jobs to its existing workforce of nearly 100 employees.
"Vermont Thread Gage has seen outstanding growth and success that is due in large part to the dependable, hardworking employees who exemplify Kentucky's workforce," Gov. Beshear said. "We're thrilled to see this expansion in Franklin and welcome the economic boost from added jobs at a first-rate company like Vermont Thread Gage."
Formed in 2000, Vermont Thread Gage manufactures thread gages sold through its parent company, Vermont Precision Tools Inc., doing business as Vermont Gage. Vermont Gage is a world leader in fixed-limit gages and manufactures a wide range of gage pins and sets, taperlock gages, ring gages, and threaded ring and plug gages for a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, medical, fastener and general cutting tools.
"We're excited about expanding our operation right here in Franklin," said Franklin resident John Gehret III, general manager and shareholder in Vermont Thread Gage. "Our growth is in large part attributable to the quality of the workforce and the support we receive from the community."
To encourage the investment and job growth in Franklin, the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority preliminarily approved the company for tax incentives up to $375,000 through the Kentucky Business Investment program. The performance-based incentive allows a company to keep a portion of its investment over the term of the agreement through corporate income tax credits and wage assessments by meeting job and investment targets.
"I want to thank Vermont Thread Gage for taking this step and for creating these much-needed jobs for our community," said Rep. Wilson Stone, of Scottsville. "I'm happy that the state could play a role in making this possible."
"Vermont Thread Gage is continuing to provide more jobs for the city of Franklin, and I am extremely pleased with their expansion," said Franklin Mayor Ronnie Clark. "This is a big plus for our community and will certainly help our local economy."
"We are extremely pleased that Vermont Thread Gage is more than doubling the size of their manufacturing facility in Simpson County," said Simpson County Judge-Executive Jim Henderson. "My congratulations go to this outstanding company for their continued growth in our area."

Who We Are
A Voice For Animals (AVFA) is a Kentucky, nonprofit, 501 (c) (3) animal welfare organization. This organization was created by experienced, responsible pet owners and animal lovers who believe that rescuing, fostering, and adopting homeless animals is not enough. We must educate the community in responsible pet care, as well as, find forever homes for our rescues. Through humane educational programs, we hope to promote increased protection and quality of life for animals in South Central Kentucky.
The importance of spay/neuter cannot be stressed enough and our motto is "Spay Day, Everyday!." In addition to proper pet care and the importance of spay/neuter, we believe that education is key to dog bite prevention and preventing cruelty to animals and human violence.
We do not have a shelter facility and all animals rescued by our members are in foster care. For that reason, we are limited in the number of animals we can rescue to the number of available foster homes. While we are not rescuing, fostering and placing large numbers of animals in new homes, our adoption policy is designed to result in forever homes with the first placement. If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation to help with our mission, please mail it to 1765 Pleasant Hill Road, Bowling Green, KY 42103. Thank you!
Adopting a friend
We charge an adoption fee for all of our pets. We strongly believe that something free may not be valued highly. Our fees depend on the amount that we have invested in that animal. All pets are spay/neutered and brought current on shots before adoption. Cats are FIV and FEL-L tested and dogs are heartworm tested if they are old enough. Generally our fees range from $25 and up. We require an adoption application be completed with references, especially a vet reference. We also perform a home visit at the applicant's convenience. We try to find a good match for the pet and the applicant. Just providing shelter, food and water is not enough. We do not adopt any dogs to be yard alarms. We are looking for inside homes, primarily, for our rescues. We do not ship our pets by air.
Our Adoption Package includes a Petco Coupon Booklet .

All Blacks winger Sitiveni Sivivatu will miss the final Tri-Nations test against Australia after injuring his groin in last night's 32-29 loss to the Springboks.
Sivivatu was replaced 10 minutes from full time and is expected to be sidelined for four to six weeks.
"He was running at speed, sidestepped and then felt a strain in his right groin," All Blacks doctor Deb Robinson said.
"He will now rest and rehab and then move onto a graduated running programme."
The All Blacks head to Wellington today to prepare for the final Tri-Nations test against the Wallabies at Westpac Stadium next weekend.
A decision on whether a replacement player will be called into the All Blacks or not will be made in due course.
