Chris Mooney | August 16, 2011
By Chris Mooney • Tuesday, August 16, 2011 - 05:29
Washington, D.C.—In a move that came as a shock both in this city and throughout the planet on which it is located, Standard & Poor's late Monday downgraded Earth from its unique HHH rating—the only one in the galaxy—to HH+.
The coveted HHH rating—meaning, "extremely habitable"—has become indefensible, the ratings agency said, due to continuing failures to balance the atmospheric carbon budget and an increasingly toxic political debate that renders better policies unlikely any time soon.
"Atmospheric carbon inputs continue to outweigh carbon outputs (or sinks), leading to a growing and unsustainable carbon 'surplus,'" wrote S&P. "Unlike fiscal surpluses, this surplus is very dangerous and is already triggering rising temperatures, heat waves, droughts, and extreme weather patterns."
Under the new HH+ rating, the Earth is still considered "highly habitable" for humans. However, S&P also changed the planet's outlook to "negative," suggesting the possibility of further downgrades.
Critics Cite Dearth of Spaceships
Criticism came fast and furious. The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change agreed with S&P about the threat of global warming, but made numerous obscure and highly technical criticisms of its carbon calculations, and then sent these to American journalists who don't understand the word "albedo" and can't even convert Celsius to Fahrenheit.
"This is not their area of expertise," said the IPCC in a written statement. "However, we cannot explain ourselves further without peer review. Our next report will be out in about five years."
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce was even more scathing. "Even as S&P downgraded Earth, investors—those who choose to live here—are proving the silliness of this action," said Chamber spokesman Terry Form. "If the Earth had really become less habitable, market forces would kick in, and we would see a booming spaceship industry. That's just not happening."
One rare supporter of S&P's decision was the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute, popularly known as SETI, located in Mountain View, CA.
"Look, there's only a snowball's chance in hell that we're going to hear from another intelligent civilization," said SETI senior astronomer Carly Sagan. "But we're going to keep trying, and thanks to S&P we'll probably get more funding. As this action shows, Earth's residents need something to pin their hopes on right now."
The search for extrasolar planets also proceeds apace, but so far no planet orbiting any star has received a rating close to Earth's. The next closest is Mars at "-H," meaning habitable only after vast improvements.
Mars itself was downgraded during the 1990s, once S&P realized that the Face on Mars was merely an optical illusion (a flub that some charge has significantly undermined the agency's credibility).
Denialism Blamed, Blame Denied
In a recent interview, S&P senior director Troy Easter gave rare insight into one critical factor behind his agency's action–citing a group of so-called carbon budget "deniers" who have become increasingly prominent in Washington and on the world stage.
"These people are willing to hold a gun to the planet's head," Easter said. "Without them, no carbon balancing can happen. And they don't even think escalating atmospheric carbon dioxide is a problem."
"This is not the kind of rhetoric you expect to find on triple-H rated planets," Easter said.
So-called climate skeptics and their political supporters quickly fired back at S&P—even as they also blamed U.S. President Barack Obama for the ratings downgrade and the carbon budget gap, and also for continuing to try to reason with them and showing inadequate leadership.
"Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased dramatically during his term," said Republican Rep. Michele Badlands, who display a chart comparing the Obama administration's emissions with those of the George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan governments. "And anyways, planets have shown a remarkable ability to 'breathe back in' carbon, when not weighed down by Big Government."
For that reason, Badlands said, even though she blamed Obama for the ratings change, she wasn't actually worried about it. "Carbon is good for life," she said, reiterating a familiar campaign slogan. "Plus, it's my favorite color."
S&P's Easter responded to Badlands' comments with uncharacteristic bluntness. "We downgraded the planet because of Looney Tunes like her," he said. "We weren't explicit enough in explaining our last downgrade—of the United States—so read my lips: Carbon budget deniers are to blame. That's 'B-L-A-M-E.'"
At the end of his interview, Easter waxed philosophical.
"In a way, we're glad that SETI is getting involved," he said. "They should start the hunt for terrestrial intelligence, too."
Markets Party on News
Responding to the downgrade, the Dow Jones Industrial Average clocked its best day ever, soaring 1,000 points to 12,200.
Some male residents of Earth, dressed in suits, were observed performing chest bumps on the floor of the New York Stock Exhange.
China, meanwhile, announced billions in new investments in clean energy, and a ramping up of its space program.
Just in case you missed it, this is a spoof, inspired by this article.

Climate Schizophrenia
Chris Mooney seems to have lost his mind, and sees climate change denial, tea party members, and debt ceiling negotiators as one large group of "his enemies".
Chris doesn't want you to know last week he blamed the Tea Party's debt negotiators for the stock market drop. Now that its risen again, you'll notice he's abandoned that rhetoric.
I am happy that Chris has finally dropped his fake science communications mask and shown himself to be a naked political idealogue.
Remember this fundamental politicism when he tries to convince you of the next earth destroying eco-fad.

Chris Mooney Panics
Would it surprise you to know that Chris Mooney was in full panic mode at the beginning of the week, blaming the Tea Party for the market crash?
Read it at his own blog, watch him panic like a little girl.
This was of course before the markets recovered. Chris Mooney is the face of fear. He fears the markets dropping, he fears the climate, and he will always be the first to shout the alarm.
Now only days later, with the market recovered, he mocks the same wall street workers who rode out the panic, and saved your retirement savings.
This is the time to recognize Chris Mooney for what he is, an alarmists and political ideologue. Don't let the science credentials fool you.

Please allow my one venture into the world of ad-hom laziness of replying. I'm sorry but reading the back-and-forth commentary here today one thing is very clear. You look like such a TOOL trying to defend an indefensible position here! At least Chris Mooney has the brains to get paid for what he does. You, on the other hand, come across as a mindless zombie follower who can't see the forest for the trees. Please get a clue, ok? It's embarrassing even for the people on the other side of the fence.

Probably a few paid sock puppets
The current governments of Canada and of Alberta are far more concerned about having good PR about the tarsands than they are about actually getting off their butts and cleaning up the tarsands.
I find it easy to believe that those stupid Conservative governments are wasting my tax dollars on paying liars to post on various blogs about the tarsands and about AGW in general. And one paid commenter might be using multiple sock puppets.
The Conservatives lie so much they are not capable of recognizing the truth any more. And of course they hate science because it requires objectivity and intellectual honesty, something they are incapable of achieving any more.

An now in an heroic effort to green the planet, we are peeling away that top soil and cleaning the sand, leaving a planet in better condition than we found it.
okay lets go with that.

chew on this one for awhile
While Lindzen & co have recently presented a paper that puts the maximum increase in the global temperature in the outyears in a lower range than the IPCC predictions, with a high probability, the blog below is by a physicist who (like a couple of other physicists before him), makes the case the there is no greenhouse gas effect. However, this gentleman presents his case in much simpler to understand terms than those earlier mathematical proofs (which probably nobody but the authors understand).

Suspected Tallmadge killer could face death penalty
(Akron) - Summit County Prosecuting Attorney Sherri Bevan Walsh says her office filed an indictment against Daniel Tighe, 39, of Breiding Avenue in Akron.
It's for the murders of Wendy Ralston and their five-year-old son Peyton.
Walsh says Tighe is charged with:
• Aggravated Murder with two specifications for death
• Murder
• Two counts of Tampering with Evidence, felonies of the third degree
• Two counts of Domestic Violence, felonies of the fourth degree
• Two counts of Gross Abuse of a Corpse, felonies of the fifth degree
If convicted of Aggravated Murder with at least one death specification, Tighe can be sentenced to death.
"October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and unfortunately, this case illustrates how a violent domestic relationship can easily turn deadly and how children, who often witness the abuse, are not immune to the same violence," said Prosecutor Walsh. "While Domestic Violence does not always escalate to murder, close to a third of all female murder victims were killed by an intimate partner."
Tallmadge Police took Daniel Tighe into custody last week, arresting him at the
Tallmadge Police Lt. Ronald Williams reports Tighe was taken into custody without incident, with the help of the Akron Bureau of the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force.
He tells Newsradio WTAM 1100 that investigators had been keeping a close watch on Tighe and made the arrest after they developed enough evidence against him.
On August 10th, the bodies of Wendy and Payton Ralston were discovered behind their Stone Creek home.
Tighe has been in the Summit County Jail since October 3. An arraignment date is not yet set.

Another political convention vying for Cleveland
(Cleveland) - Cleveland has been selected by Democrats as one of 15 cities where they'd like to nominate their candidate for president in 2016.
"I'm conviced if the Democrats come to Ohio we win the presidency in 2016," said Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern.
Other nearby cities being considered include Columbus, Indianapolis, Detroit and Pittsburgh. Atlanta, Chicago, Las Vegas, Miami, Nashville, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Salt Lake City are the other cities on the list.
The ability to raise money to host the event is said to be a big factor.
"Both Cleveland and Columbus will now have to put extensive proposals together, including budgets, and commitments from the private sector to help offset the cost," Redfern said.
Cities have until early June to submit their proposals.
Cleveland is also a semi-finalist for the Republican National Convention along with Cincinnati.

Add your story…
Indexing Project: Charleston, SC Estate Inventories, Bills of Sale
We are pleased to announce an exciting project to index Colonial and Charleston, SC estate inventories from 1732-1872, and bills of sale from the same period, for a FREE collection on Footnote!
When the project is complete, the names of more than 30,000 enslaved ancestors will be preserved for generations to come.
You can help index this free collection to make it searchable. Here is how it will work: we will index one microfilm at a time, as we complete each film the entire film will be posted in this free collection, and will be fully searchable. When we finish indexing a film, Footnote will post the next film for us to index, until all of the films are indexed.
So we in the volunteer community will literally determine the pace at which these records roll out. Pretty neat, on large indexing projects you index records and know that they will be rolled up at some time in the future, but this project works in real time, as we finish them, they are released.
To sign up to volunteer, please CLICK HERE, fill in the sign up form, and we will contact you to show you how to get started. Don't worry, we'll teach you everything you need to know to index records to make them searchable.
Each record you index will be searchable on Footnote, and will also appear in Internet searches on Google and other search engines, so your contribution will make an enormous difference in making these records accessible to the research community.
Thank you so much for volunteering to restore the ancestors to the light of history!
How to Browse This Collection
Browsing These Documents

What about Reid vs Punshon?
Reid is not in the best of form and despite being a top ranked fighter Punshon has lost both BAMMA fights. Both are great talents, both bring it and it would be a great fight.

Listening is cool and shit." BlackdogMMA
Was looking forward to going to Bamma 11, Tickets were going to be booked as I thought it was rid of the 'minor celeb' shit that always crops up with UK MMA fights. Bamma 10 main event was awesome, Sinclair vs Winner was really entertaining. For a moment I thought we had turned a corner. Then Reid looks to be main event for Bamma 11. WTF! The guy lost 7 fights and starred in that fucking awful 'fight' with Barrett. Thers such a wealth of talent right now in the uk mma scene why pick a guy who lost 7 fights in a row just cos he blew his muck in some minor celebs? Really if Bamma want him on the card put him on early against a decent fighter and let him do what fighters do, climb back up. Bamma 12 will be Keith Chegwin vs Russel Grant as main event next time. If you want to make MMA mainstream best way is to be a dignified organisation and respect the sport your promoting. Alex Reid, if he had won his last few fights, would have been a great pick, but he hasn't and so isn't. Get some older UFC boys on it Baroni would be great to see, 5 could play some highlight reels of their glory days and get the publics attention, plus the genuine MMA fans would sell it out. But instead we will get the Alex Reid minor celeb headline event. Nothing against Alex, he does bring it and can take some good shots but he isn't a main event at this moment (7 losses) and the Tony Giles UK1 rules rumour has killed this already for me. UK1 isn't MMA so what the fuck are they thinking. So therefore I appreciate their time, I did enjoy Bamma 10's main event and Channel 5 do good coverage, but Reid vs Giles should not be main event, UK1 should be no where near an MMA card and on that basis I'M OUT.
"tonight we dine in hell....or dominoes"
Plus look at the other losses he has had and the guys he was fighting were pretty good.
I always thought Reid was consistently overmatched, he always got chucked in there with vicious bastards - Prof X was on top form when they fought, frykland had fought great opposition and was in the tailend of his prime, Matsui was a punchbag for the top fighters, but no joke for anyone but the elite, rivera went on a massive ufc run soon after their fight, shit luck against Rua when his shin exploded. Ewin, one of his 'easier' fights was still pretty much best in the country. Alex fought them all, blood, guts, multiple eye pokes, knee destroyed in heel hook, massive shin cut, serious knee injury going into a fight...
Fair play to him, it is a harsh man that ignores this stuff. It pisses me off when people look at the stats and dismiss him as just a minor celeb.

'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
I know who Alex has fought and I know he gives his all. Thats not the point. The point I was making is that should a guy, regardless of how good the opponents were, be main event on an MMA card fighting against a UK1 rules champ? I wouldn't mind seeing it as an earlier fight but come on, BAMMA 11 should have been onwards and upwards. Lets let Alex rebuild his record not stick him in as the top billing. For my money I will pick Cagewarriors 49's Card any day over this. I wish that was on channel 5. Alex could do with a win and Giles may be one for the future if he can bring some kind of ground game to his striking abilities but BAMMA have the opportunity to showcase to the nation how good UK MMA really is. Giles vs Reid is undercard at best and will be in the papers for all the wrong reasons. Big fat gypsy vs big brother winner. Not a good way forward if we have to endure this kind of tactic to get our sport on tv in this country. Looking at CW49 Id PPV that fucker! This isn't Alex Reid hating. A guy with 7 losses (no matter what the abilities of the opponents) shouldn't be the main event on national tv. How many watched the Barrett fight? would you want that on channel 5 ? I would like to see Alex rebuild and work his way up for the right reasons. Just dont understand what it would achieve ? He lost against good solid opponents so lets feed him a uk1 guy in his debut mma fight ? Lets make it main event ? I wouldnt mind seeing Alex on the card earlier, hope its against a quality, evenly matched fighter and hope they get a good headline fight.
"tonight we dine in hell....or dominoes"
the fact remains, if you were putting on a show and wanted to generate good viewing figures, you'd be mad not to include him on the televised section. he and Tony between them would be a bigger draw with that audience than anyone else, so it makes sense for them to put it as main event imo
'negocios es negocios'
let's see what happens
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
Whilst I agree completely that there are far more deserving mixed martial artists in the UK for the headliner on BAMMA 11 I completely understand why they are putting Reid in there and I believe it will work well for them.
Ive been vocal on a number of occasions with regards to Reid being underated and Jimmy is spot on that he has been consistently over match but he is one tough SOB and has been scrapping since people thought Wing Chun works.
I take it you chaps have not been keeping up to date with the Twitter drama but it would apear that BAMMA offered Tony Giles Leeroy Barnes not Alex Reid and Tony first refused the fight with Leeroy and then refused to fight on BAMMA altogether.
I think now he wants the Reid fight on UCMMA?

PROVO, UT -- Newcomer AirVend, based here, is offering a touchscreen solution for vending machines. It is designed to enhance the POS experience and ease compliance with government product content disclosure rules.
Called the AV 7, the AirVend device serves as an eye-catching customer interface, and provides cashless payment options like credit card and near field communications (NFC) mobile payment acceptance.
It is wirelessly connected to AV Live, a cloud-based system that delivers real-time sales data, machine alerts, inventory tracking and additional information to the operator. It presently is connected through MDB; a DEX connector will reportedly be introduced in the next few months.
"We are actively seeking to meet NAMA VDI [vending data interchange] standards, in order to allow for interoperability," said AirVend cofounder Dave Loveland, chief marketing officer for the company.
With simple over-the-air software updates, the AV 7 platform becomes "an extremely dynamic interface on a very static machine," Loveland said. This connectivity permits the latest innovations from AirVend, such as advertising, loyalty programs, promotions and new cashless payment methods, to flow to the machines, as they become available.
Loveland added, "The release of Android, a free operating system, as well as consumerization of tablets and smartphones has commoditized small, powerful computing devices and components."
The company has expedited its development of the AV 7 to help the vending industry comply with the nutritional-content reporting requirements imposed by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2009 when the details have been finalized and an implementation date is announced. Loveland explained that the company has assembled its own product database containing thousands of items, with their nutritional labels and product images. "We allow operators to add new items, with an approval process on our end, and we also actively update the database with new products on an ongoing basis," he said.
AirVend cofounder Chad Francis, a software engineer, explained that members of his family have been in the vending industry for 20-plus years, which gave him insight into the role new technologies could play in the industry.
AirVend will make its formal debut at the upcoming National Automatic Merchandising Association OneShow in Las Vegas, from April 24 through 26.

Post subject: Favorite Play Of The Year Nominations
Hi guys,
Some of you may remember a couple of years ago, I ran an 'Elimination' style tournament which culminated in Footballs Future selecting it's consensus 'Favorite Play Of The Year'
For those that don't remember, here's a
With the season soon to be over, there's not going to me much to talk about on FF, so hopefully, this tournament can provide some discussion, some competition and provide some great memories, and perhaps show us some great plays that we missed too.
Anyway here's whats going to happen.
a) I will create a thread in each of the 32 NFL team's sub-forums, asking them to nominate a consensus 'Favorite Play' from their team.
b) Once I have collated all 32 sub-forums' nominations I will use a list randomizer to determine which teams will face each other in the tournament.
c) I will then create a thread in NFL General for each match-up, where the FF community can determine which play is their favorite until eventually we end up with 2 remaining plays,
OK, so now that's sorted. Let's get down to the fun part, time for the your sub forum to nominate their favorite play of the 2012 NFL season!
There is literally no criteria for selecting a favorite play. It could be an Offensive, Defensive or Special Teams play, the first play of the game, or the last play of the game or anything in between, it could come in a win, a loss (or a tie) it could be a scoring play, or a non scoring play.
You can select literally anything, in the 2010 tournament there was an OG returning a kick-off 70 yards, a Pick-6 by a Defensive End, Touchdown celebrations or trick plays by Punters. Literally anything!
Ah, there is one rule. You must post a video link (preferably to Youtube (those 30 second adverts on NFL.com are annoying after a while) or even better, post a GIF.
So go ahead guys, nominate your favorite play of the year!
I'll be back in a few days to see if you've come to a concensus nomination, if not, I will start a Run-Off thread between the 2 or 3 most popular selections until we have a winner!

Even though I've never been a fan of his this catch by Gibson has to be one of the most impressive plays of the year on offense.
My personal favorite would have to be Givens
That was his first big catch of the year and I think boosted his confidence and got him on a roll.

This is tough. There really isn't one play I can think of that is extraordinary.
Week 1 Cortland Finnegan INT TD
It wasn't a great individual play, but it was the beginning to a nice season. A nice kick start.
Week 1 Brandon Gibson TD
It was a diving, over the shoulder catch with two guys on him.
Week 4 Fake FG pass for TD
Gave the Rams momentum for a big victory over the Seahawks.
Week 5 Givens TD
Rams offense couldn't put many points on the Cardinals defense, but Givens 70 something yard TD was enough for the win.
Week 6 Gibson catch
A back shoulder, leaping one-handed grab. Arguably the best individual play of the year. But it didn't help the Rams get a win or TD.
Week 8 Givens TD
Was a beautifully thrown ball off a play action to give the Rams a quick 7-0 lead in London. We know how that ended.
Week 10 the SECOND fake punt pass for first down
No one saw it coming and it was executed perfectly. Was a defining moment in a game the Rams should have won @ 49ers.
Week 13 Kaepernick safety
Tried to get out of the pocket, but Janoris Jenkins made a great play forcing Kaepernick in the end zone on a blitz.
Week 13 Janoris Jenkins TD
Ted Ginn couldn't handle a pitch, and Janoris Jenkins scooped it and scored.
Week 13 Greg Zuerlein FG
54 yard field goal to win the game in overtime vs 49ers after tying the game with a 53 yard field goal with no time remaining in the 4th.
Week 14 Austin Pettis catch
It was 4th and 1 with the game on the line. Bradford threw it poorly behind Pettis but he made an spectacular spinning catch to save the game the Rams would win later in that drive.
Week 16 Lance Kendricks TD
He was open on a busted coverage but managed to out run the entire Bucs secondary. Amendola also had a huge block that took out 2 defenders during the play.

I was going to come back in here and say one of those plays where Jackson picked up an immediate free biltzer and stone walled him. He did it to willis at least once.

While in London, Harriman also launched an affair with Pamela Churchill, daughter-in-law of the prime minister.
Kennan regarded Harriman as too conciliatory in dealing with Stalin.
Believe it or not, McGurk's and Harriman's are not the only examples in American history of love affairs in war zones.
Do not lament the fact that some roads are groping ahead only to occupy the abandoned organization camps of the Harriman Lines.
Dr. Harriman has explained, with the authority of an expert, these ghastly growths.
Later, Harriman, and to some extent Morgan, carried the community of interest idea some steps further.

Harriman was too much of a vegetarian, and Ennis was always cursed with a rebellious stomach.

Post subject: Is Jake Locker Still Your Guy?
After the season concluded this year, I couldn't help but be dissapointed with Locker's season. With the injury and inconsistency with accuracy, it was hard to say that Locker's second year gave us fans much optimism.
But the offseason has given me time to ponder Locker's situation.
The line was awful. Once known for great pass protection, the line allowed pressure in Locker's face pretty often. They didn't allow an unusual amount of sacks (some in part to the use of Locker's mobility), but it was obvious that Jake wasn't comfortable in the pocket.
He didn't have much help in the running game. Chris Johnson's numbers were a little inflated due to his ability to hit the home run. Often times CJ was getting tackled behind the LOS and then, occasionally, would break off a long run. That's not the kind of running game you want with a young QB. Guys like Rivers (LT), Ryan (Turner), Flacco (Rice), Roethlisberger (Bettis, Parker), Manning (E. James), etc. all had consistent RB's in terms of YPC. With that said, I'm not blaming Chris Johnson. I still think he can be the consistent back he once was with this new (and yet to be) improved offensive line. Going back to "Titans smash mouth football" is going to help Locker's development tremendously, IMO.
Switching OC's last year probably didn't help either. I'm not saying that Palmer deserved to be here any longer (didn't care much for him), but we can all agree he really wasn't the problem with the team last year. I hope Loggains is the correct choice here. No real experience as a play caller (besides the few games he had in 2012), but everyone has to start somewhere I guess.
So basically I still think he can be "our guy" for the future. He has things that you just cant teach (Arm strength, mobility, heart, and work ethic), but has issues that need to be addressed (we all know what that is).
Most of you have probably seen this, but this video highlights the positives of his game from last season:
I came away pretty impressed with his highlights from the video. I forgot all the good things he did, and focused more on the negatives.
So what do you think? Is he still "your guy", or was Locker's disappointing performance last year enough for you to consider taking a QB early next April? I know what most will say, "Jake has next season to prove himself or he is gone", but is 3 seasons enough to consider your QB a bust? Should he have a below average season (with some positives but many negatives) would you be ready to move on?

I want him to be. I really do.
But from what I saw last season, he's not it. Maybe the shoulder affected him a lot more than I thought. Maybe the offensive playcalling was atrocious.
But I didn't really come away thinking "This guy can be top 5 in the league" like I had with Young.

You really thought VY was going to be top 5 QB?
Anyway I still believe Locker can be our guy. Like OP said he had alot going against him. He needs to improve but I still think he can be our guy.

He's the second best #10 Titan in recent memory...and by a very far margin.
He was painful to watch last year. I am hoping that he turns a corner this year, I really am. I expect him to, to be honest. But it will come as no surprise to me if he is not the answer long-term.

I don't get the "Vince was so much better" stuff. Vince wasn't much, if any better at throwing the ball in his first two years than Jake. The only difference was VY in crunch time. But with that said, Jake had a couple of games last year where he came close to leading us back. The Houston game pops in to mind with Wright dropping the perfect passes.
He did those "near comebacks" with a 5th string offensive line and a shoulder that required surgery. Kind of unfair to judge him as bad. We're still in wait and see mode.

I believe Locker is still our guy. All he needs is some stability so he can develop properly. First address that interior O-line, then get our running game back on track, and install a solid offensive system that he can operate until he makes it his own.

I want Locker to be our guy he can be our guy he just needs to be avke to take over a game from the pocket. The Detroit game last year was prob his best he needs to be that guy. Making throws picking up first downs throwing TDs he needs to win games from the pocket. Fitzpatrick will push Locker to play better if he doesnt Locker will be benched

If he can stay healthy for 16 games next season, it will go along way in terms of evaluating his progress. Its kind of hard to grade a guy, or label him a bust, when he injures his shoulder (pretty significantly, btw) week 1 of the season. Add that to the list of other issues on offense, and its not hard to see why he may of struggled last year.
He's shown flashes of great football, but with that came plays from him that left me scratching my head. I would've liked to have seen a few more "Wow" plays, especially in "clutch time". That was one thing that the other #10 did have. That clutch factor.
But Locker is a competitor. He isn't a headcase like Young. He doesn't care about the money or any of the other BS (Passed up on millions to go back to school). I have no doubt that he is gonna work on his issues. Whether or not he can improve those issues (in a timely fashion) is unknown, but it won't be for a lack of trying. That atleast gives me hope.
Idk...Lets just hope by this time next year there won't be debate as to whether he is our franchise QB or not.

It's Locker's first off-season as the #1 team QB. Let's see what a full training camp with the first string looks like.

Locker can be a top 10 QB in the league. Just gotta give him some time guys! Jeez, as patient as you all were with VY, be patient with Locker. I see some serious talent and potential there. I think this year will show that Locker will be the man in TN for years to come.

Could you post the commands you used and their output to include error messages?
Maybe we can either help or get it fixed.
In BT4 because of the new bluetooth stack (bluez 4 instead of bluez 3.x) the tool carwhisperer doesn't work anymore.
It is possible to start it, it will connect to the headset (if default PIN was set correctly), but it doesn't record anything (it fills up the output file with zeros).
Maybe I screwed up something with the settings (however this is highly unlikely), but you know too that bluez 4 has no documentation at all, so figuring out how to change settings is really difficult.
I would highly recommend (if the newer kernel still makes this possible) to return to bluez 3.x.
Thank you,

To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
I will look into the source code sometime, but maybe you can find out why this happens.
Howto Install Carwhisperer on Ubuntu 9.10
This might help, I will test it ASAP, if yes then please include the simple-agent and a short README file in the next Backtrack please.
Well, I checked some stuff, and now I am able to connect to the headset, but all we got as replies are zeros, hcidump shows nicely how all the incoming packets contain only zeros, not valid data.
I tried to send out a test file, and see it it gets played back on the headset, but no luck with that either. It seems that somehow between the stack and the actual hardware some stuff simply disappears or gets cut out or I don't know.
To be short and simple: this part of the carwhisperer code fails with bluez-4 but it does work with bluez-3 (tested):
Thanks,Code:// turn up the speaker volume and the microphone gain to the highest level wlen = write(rd, "AT+VGS=15\r\n", 11); wlen = write(rd, "AT+VGM=15\r\n", 11); // send 'RING' message in order to initiate fake phone call wlen = write(rd, "RING\r\n", 6); maxfd = (rd > sd) ? rd : sd; while (!terminate) { FD_ZERO(&rfds); FD_SET(rd, &rfds); FD_SET(sd, &rfds); timeout.tv_sec = 2; timeout.tv_usec = 0; if ((sel = select(maxfd + 1, &rfds, NULL, NULL, &timeout)) > 0) { if ((FD_ISSET(rd, &rfds))&&(scostarted!=0)) { memset(buf, 0, sizeof(buf)); rlen = read(rd, buf, sizeof(buf)); //buf[rlen++] = '\0'; if (rlen > 0) { fprintf(stderr, "got: %s\n",buf); if (strncmp(buf, "AT+BRSF=",8)==0) { wlen=write(rd,"+BRSF: 63\r\n",11); fprintf(stderr, "ansewered: +BRSF: 63\n"); } else if (strncmp(buf, "AT+CIND?",8)==0) { wlen=write(rd,"+CIND: 0,1,0,0\r\n",16); fprintf(stderr, "ansewered: +CIND: 1\n"); } else if (strncmp(buf, "AT+CIND=?",9)==0) { wlen=write(rd,"+CIND: (\"call\",(0,1)),(\"service\",(0,1)),(\"call_setup\",(0-3)),(\"callsetup\",(0-3))\r\n",82); fprintf(stderr, "ansewered: +CIND: (\"call\",(0,1)),(\"service\",(0,1)),(\"call_setup\",(0-3)),(\"callsetup\",(0-3))\n"); } else { // answer to anything else with an 'OK' wlen = write(rd, "OK\r\n", 4); fprintf(stderr, "ansewered: OK\n"); } } else { // check return value of read call if (rlen==-1) { // terminate loop wlen = write(rd, "AT+VGM=15\r\n", 11); terminate=1; } } } if (FD_ISSET(sd, &rfds)) { scostarted=1; memset(buf, 0, sizeof(buf)); rlen = read(sd, buf, sizeof(buf)); if (rlen > 0) { wlen = write(fdo, buf, rlen); rlen = read(fdi, buf, rlen); wlen = 0; if (rlen > 0) p = buf; while (rlen > sco_mtu) { wlen += write(sd, p, sco_mtu); rlen -= sco_mtu; p += sco_mtu; } wlen += write(sd, p, rlen); } } if (cnt++>800) { // keep tuning up the volume for speaker and microphone wlen = write(rd, "RING\r\n", 6); wlen = write(rd, "AT+VGS=15\r\n", 11); wlen = write(rd, "AT+VGM=15\r\n", 11); cnt=0; printf(".\n"); } } } // close sockets close(sd); close(rd); // close files close(fdi); close(fdo); return 0; }

You didn't provide all of what Amael asked for, we see no output to commands. Try complying with a request so that we can help you.
Without any assistance from you, that big chunk of select code is useless to us. I can't say if it's a service= issue or a service issue, or whether or not the software is even associating correctly or just bailing down to saving blanks.
Again, help us to help you.
Still not underestimating the power...
There is no such thing as bad information - There is truth in the data, so you sift it all, even the crap stuff.

(message.raw is an empty file, which I made using nano)

RFCOMM channel connected
SCO audio channel connected (handle 45, mtu 64)
The out.raw file contains only zeros. Also note that when carhisperer sniffs real data it prints a dot and a newline character on the screen like this:
Voice setting: 0x0060
RFCOMM channel connected
SCO audio channel connected (handle 45, mtu 64)
Under bt3 and bluez3 it did work perfectly. All I had to do is change some settings in the hcid.conf and restart the hci daemon. The changes I made were: auto authentication (or security mode or whatever it's called), pin 0000, lm mode MASTER, ACCEPT, class 0x050204 (phone).
I am currently trying to change the class and the LM mode with hcitool, so far no success.
mod: Finally changed the class and the lm mode, same result: only zeros in the output file.
Thanks for your help,
appreciate it a lot,
I looked into things with hcidump and it seems that the headset is sending only zeroes, I don't know why, maybe it is a low level problem directly related to the BT stack.
Will continue researching the issue, but need some other people too, so please help me

WWF welcomes Australia government's commitment to Kyoto 2, condemns NZ government's failure to join
Peter Hardstaff, climate change campaigner for WWF-New Zealand said: "We are extremely disappointed that the New Zealand government is not prepared to commit to legally binding action on climate change. After gutting the Emissions Trading Scheme, the New Zealand government's credibility on climate change was already dangerously low. Refusing sign up to the second phase of Kyoto leaves New Zealand's claims to be clean and green in tatters. The government's approach to climate policy is effectively telling the world we have no intention of reducing our emissions."
The announcements come just three weeks out from the next UN climate talks in Doha. Australia joins the 27 countries of the European Union plus nine others who have already pledged to be part of the next phase of the Kyoto Protocol, due to start in 2013.
"Australia's pledge to join the next phase of the Kyoto Protocol is an important move and should be applauded. It's now important that the emissions target Australia sets for Kyoto2 at the Doha conference represents a minimum level of ambition, not a ceiling, and can be ramped up," said Mr Hardstaff.
He said that the New Zealand's decision to only commit to voluntary emissions reductions sent a damaging signal to the rest of the world, particularly developing countries, that it is not serious about reducing emissions: "For years we've been saying we need to build trust among developed and developing countries, that we are willing to take action to reduce our emissions. Just weeks out from the next international climate change negotiations, this sends a damaging political signal that will hamper momentum in the negotiations for a new post-2020 deal that will include all countries."
WWF is calling on the New Zealand government to rethink its approach. We need to make a legally binding commitment and implement policies that can get New Zealand's emissions on a downward trajectory. Anything less is irresponsible and represents a failure to do our fair share.
Notes to editors
• At the last UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) meeting in Durban in December 2011 nations failed to finalise the deal to reduce global emissions. However they did agree to an extension of the existing deal – the Kyoto Protocol – for either 5 or 8 years.
• The second phase of the Kyoto Protocol is proposed to run from the start of 2013 either for five or eight years; the first phase expires at the end of 2012.
• Australia joins the European Union plus nine other countries (Belarus, Croatia, Iceland, Kazakhstan, Lichtenstein, Monaco, Norway, Switzerland, Ukraine) have made a commitment to signing-on to a second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol. In Durban, Japan, Canada and Russia said they will not sign-on.
• The UNFCCC is meeting in Doha from 26 Nov – 7 Dec 2012.

This is the stretching aid that supports the spine's natural curvature to help relieve back pain. Encouraging improved posture and restored function by reducing stiffness and facilitating proper alignment of the vertebrae, the stretching aid's 15 ABS molded ribs each form two raised nodes that align with the muscles of the mid and lower back without placing any direct pressure on the spine itself. One's own body weight presses the nodes against the back, relieving fatigued muscles. Its overall curved shape realigns the spine back to its natural shape, countering the effects of slouching. For users up to 250 lbs. 22 1/2" L x 10" W x 4" H. (3 lbs.)

Really works.
By Carol
from Breeding, Ky.
I really like this product. It's like anything that is beneficial....you have to use it to reap the benefits. The first few days I used it, I saw an immediate improvement in my posture. Then I got busy, and felt my old posture returning. I am making a new concerted effort to use the back stretcher every day. I can see the difference.

Posture Perfect
By Joanie
from St. Albert, Alberta, Canada
I was a bit leary when I first took this out of the box. But once I tried it, I realized how great it was going to be. Such an easy, perfect stretch. Good for those long days, sitting in front of a computer. Good for a great stretch after a run. Good for a yoga-style relax anytime you need it! Love it!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

And the verdict is...
By the wife of husband with dislocated
from Tampa, Fl
I bought this for my husband who has back pain due to some dislocated ribs. He found that it worked; but that he literally could NOT get up by himself! He is a younger man (30yrs) is great physical condition, but he literally has to roll hiself off of it; which is slightly painful. For my bottom line I am going to say "would recomend" but cautioning it away from older individuals or using it when alone (no one to help you up).

So Far So Good
By Old and Sore
from Royal Oak, Michigan
I also have fibromyalgia and have a hard time getting on. I have to use it on my bed so I am sure that it deminishes the effect. You should also put the warning on the picture that it can't be used with Osteoporosis. Luckily it is one disease I don't have. Also the instructions that come with the product are a reverse of the man using the product in your cataloge

Beats going to a chiropracter
By PJ
from Mississauga, Ontario Canada
I use the the product to stretch my back and improve my posture. It is great because it is light and small which makes it easy to store.It is a bit sharp on the top but a towel improves the feel of it.
By Dallas
from Dallas, Tx
I followed instructions and layed on it for less than 10 minutes and I was so sore and not in a good way, the ridges poke on your back. I felt the bruises for a week. Not well ergonomically constructed, made out of plastic.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: If you find the bars uncomfortable, it is suggested that you try placing a towel or blanket over the unit to personalize your stretch to your comfort level. Please remember that we back our merchandise with a lifetime guarantee. Should you ever find that an item doesn't perform to your satisfaction, our customer service team is available 24 hours a day at 1-800-321-1484 to assist you with returning it.

Back Stretching Pain Reliever
By Saxman
from Tucson, AZ
The product is as advertised. It's actually sturdier than I thought from the picture. I glued a 1" foam padding to cover the surface because the hard plastic was not so comfortable. But it's great with the padding on it.
Does the job.
By Canuck
from Ottawa, Canada
The natural shape of the human spine is a double S. One is at the neck (no problem, normally). It's the lower S just above the hips that is forced the wrong way in a well-worn, sagging couch. The Back Stretcher helps pop/supports the vertebrae/discs into the normal shape, allowing Nature to heal any lower-back soreness. -CouchPotato
Doubtful when bought, now 'sold'
By Loie
from Columbus, OH
I had my doubts but when hubby used product, he realized an improvement in his back almost instantly. He was as surprised as I was but now he is a firm believer and faithfully uses it at least 3 x's daily. Swears it has almost eliminated his back pain. His posture is better and his overall outlook has improved dramatically. Thank you for your product!

He's a great prospect and despite the facade, a really cool guy too. Another dominant performance on Saturday.
The whole card was excellent. A ton of fights went the distance which meant the event went on very late, but none of the fights were boring at all.
Some of the guys who I thought might have been lambs to the slaughter turned out to be fantastic. Okunno, Boult and Marcin were frightening. I thought Docherty's MMA looked superb, we all know how good his hands are but his MMA game looked sharp too.
Turner was pure evil from start to finish. It looked like a big brother putting a beat down on his little bro.
Macalister was good and I don't know why he was so disappointed with himself. He handled a very good opponent and took an impressive victory.
MC Ray was brilliant too and gave me a good laugh when he said Doyle hailed from "Northern Iowa"......we've all made slips like that, but no one minds when they are funny.
I have completely lost my voice though, totally wrecked my throat with all the excitement. Roll on On Top 7.

'Project Runway All Stars' announces Season 2 cast
Whatever happened to Andrae Gonzalo, that Project Runway Season 2 star beloved by mentor Tim Gunn (and memorably immortalized by co-contestant Santino Rice)?
Now we know: He's turning up on the second season of Runway's reunion show, Project Runway All Stars, which premieres Oct. 25 (9 p.m. ET/PT) on Lifetime.
In typical reality reunion show fashion, the cast of 13 is a crazy quilt of the sweet (Season 8's Peach Carr) and the snarky (Season 9's Joshua McKinley, who infamously stepped into a showdown with a female competitor -- in the ladies' room), of recent castoffs (No. 9's Laura Kathleen) and veterans hauled out from the vault (No. 1's Wendy Pepper).
"You want to make sure as much as possible you're pleasing the fans," says executive producer Jon Murray.
Stitched into the mix? "People who came so close to winning they want to come back," Murray says. "They feel like they were robbed," such as Season 7's Emilio Sosa. And those for whom "we had this gut instinct that maybe they left too early" -- for whom Heidi Klum's trademark tagline, "One day you're in, and the next day you're out," proved all too prescient (take Season 9's Anthony Ryan Auld).
Rounding out the cutting crew: Kayne Gillaspie and Uli Herzner (Season 3); he who refers to himself in the third person, Suede Baum (Season 5); Althea Harper (Season 6); and Ivy Higa and one-named wonder Casanova (Season 8).
Other notables include a new supermodel host, Carolyn Murphy, and a hotly anticipated guest-judging gig by budding designer Katie Holmes, shot just days after her split from Tom Cruise was announced.
Even though Runway's current 10th season has seen its share of unprecedented workroom drama -- two surprise departures by contestants, including one who fled literally in the middle of the night -- Murray assures that no All-Star unravels in such spectacular style.
"No one just chooses to quit or leave. They know what they're getting into." Some contestants' scissors may be a little rusty, but "they know how hard this is and how demanding this is."

Anyone familiar with a free jQuery carousel called "Flexslider" developed by WooThemes? I've implemented it on a Wordpress site for a client and it displays strange behavior only in Google Chrome. I can't duplicate this behavior in IE8, IE9, FF15, or Safari for Windows. I'm most baffled by Safari since I expect the behavior to be very similar to its webkit cousin Chrome.
Anyway, whenever a transition with Flexslider occurs in a small sidebar container, the large header on the main section "grows" and retracts, as if it's getting pushed around by the hidden containers sliding by underneath. It's tough to explain, but it can be seen here using Chrome:
On that particular page, you'll notice the text "ISM CONTRACTS" will change appearance slightly during the slide transition. I'm not sure what's causing it so I have no idea where to start. Please let me know if inclusion of CSS/HTML/javascript is helpful in diagnosing.
Thank you!
Here, it looks more like the characters of the H1 are growing and shrinking during the transition, rather than being shifted.
It only seems to occur when the H1 is set to a font-size between 49px and 328px so, if all else fails, you could use 48px, but it'll still happen when the user zooms above 100%.
There are HTML and CSS validation errors, so it may help to fix those.
I can't see any problem in Chrome at all.
Is that on Mac Ralph? I'm seeing it in Windows.
Yes indeed. I should have made that clear.
Just noticed the problem doesn't occur if the Flexslider animation is switched from "slide" to "fade".
The animations manipulate CSS in very different ways. Fade basically toggles the class, display and opacity values of the list items whereas slide changes values of the proprietary -webkit-transform translate3d property on the parent ul. Most sliders I've seen use simple positioning to move the elements, rather than -webkit-transform.
I'd go for fade. It grabs the attention but is less visually annoying.
Thanks for your help, everyone. Changing the font size to 48px does solve the problem, but it's not a solid long-term solution. The client is pretty set on a sliding animation. I would write my own but I don't have the time, so I tried this one. Any recommendations on jQuery alternatives to Flexslider?
Did you see Victorinox's statement about slide/fade?
I'm quite a fan of bxSlider at the moment.
bxSlider has been implemented on the test site. Thanks for the input. I did see Victorinox's statement about slide/fade, but the client really wants slide, so that's what I will have to do.
Cool. So is it working as you want now? Looks good to me in Chrome (Mac).
Yes, and the problem with Chrome in Windows that I previously saw (the large header text in the h1 tag in another container shifting/growing + shrinking) does not occur with bxSlider, even at fonts above 48px. As always, sitepoint is a great resource for me and I truly appreciate the help you've given me. Thanks again.
