Global warming government advisor confesses science is leaving climate policies behind, as David Evans reveals in articles in the Australian, 18 Jan 2008 and ABC "Unleashed" 1 Aug 2008. David Evans was a consultant to the Australian Greenhouse Office from 1999 to 2005 and introduces himself as "the rocket scientist who wrote the carbon accounting model (FullCAM) that measures Australia's compliance with the Kyoto Protocol, in the land use change and forestry sector." He now claims: "On global warming, public policy is where the science was in 1998. Due to new evidence, science has since moved off in a different direction." When he began his work with the Greenhouse Office he says "the evidence that carbon emissions caused global warming seemed pretty good" but new scientific studies have "seriously weakened the case that carbon emissions are the main cause of global warming, and by 2007 the evidence was pretty conclusive that carbon played only a minor role and was not the main cause of the recent global warming." Evans reminds his readers of a quote from Lord Keyes: "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?" Evans gives four reasons for changing his mind about man-made global warming. They are:
1. The failure to find the "signature of an increased greenhouse effect", ie. a hot spot about 10km up in the atmosphere over the tropics;
2. Plenty of evidence that warming has occurred, but "no observations by anyone that implicate carbon emissions as a significant cause of the recent global warming";
3. Satellite temperature measurements indicate the warming ended in 2001;
4. Ice core data that show six previous global warmings where the temperature rose before an increase in carbon dioxide.
Evans comments that this last point "says something important about which was cause and which was effect." He then challenges the politicians who are introducing carbon taxes and trading schemes in response the proponents of man-made global warming with these words: "The Labor Government is about to deliberately wreck the economy in order to reduce carbon emissions. If the reasons later turn out to be bogus, the electorate is not going to re-elect a Labor government for a long time. When it comes to light that the carbon scare was known to be bogus in 2008, the ALP is going to be regarded as criminally negligent or ideologically stupid for not having seen through it. And if the Liberals support the general thrust of their actions, they will be seen likewise."
Editorial Comment: For our non-Australian readers, the ALP is the Australian Labor Party, a left-leaning party who are currently in power in Australia. The Liberals are a conservative political party, currently in opposition.
Evans' warning is more serious than just the electoral prospects of a few politicians. Because global warming alarmists such as Al Gore have driven the agenda for the past decade, people have been led to believe that man-made global warming is undisputed scientific fact, and therefore, governments have a right to force people to pay for fixing it up. If people get to know that governments are taking their money for something they didn't do, and couldn't change anyway, they will feel cheated by both scientists and politicians, and become distrustful of experts and authority figures in general. This makes people harder to govern, especially in democratic societies. Democracy only works with the cooperation of the people. Without cooperation, governments have to resort to coercion.

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Cleveland police are investigating an officer-involved shooting on the city's west side.
Authorities say a man called 911 Tuesday night and began rambling about a family member who is a police officer in another city. The man then reportedly told the dispatcher he would shoot any officer who came to his home.
When police went to check it out they found the man sitting on the porch with his hands in his pockets. Investigators say officers asked him to show his hands, but he refused and charged at them with a silver wrench.
Authorities say officers then shot the man. He was taken to a hospital. His name and condition were not immediately released.
Police tell The Plain Dealer (http://bit.ly/QDtlcP) residents complained the man had been terrorizing the neighborhood.

At the Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show, Smith & Wesson made noise with its "backpack cannon" — a .460-caliber revolver.
"A great gun for a back-up gun in the backcountry or even for hunting if you're going after some pigs or hogs or anything like that," Paul Pluff, the company's head of marketing communications, tells Military.com.
In fact, S&W has been hawking the huge revolver as perfect for a backpack.

A mother and daughter team running a Trowbridge chip shop served customers by candlelight after the town was struck by a power cut on Monday evening.
Angie Willis, of the Union Jack, was working with her daughter, Sonia Baker, when the electricity went off at 5pm, in an incident affecting an estimated 12,000 people. She said: "It happened just as we opened. We grabbed some candles to light the shop and used our tip box for change. Thankfully, we just had enough hot food ready to last the time that the power was out.
"The power came back on after about 30 minutes and that was when we were running out of food, so it wasn't bad timing. Some of the customers quite enjoyed it, I think, and it was something a little different."
Southern Electric identified a fault in the network.
A spokesman said: "By about 6pm, we had 10,000 people back with electricity and then everyone was back up and running by about 6.20pm."

Longtime auditor Flynn gets proper sendoff
After a week of tributes, Kitsap County Auditor Karen Flynns retirement was commemorated with a lighthearted sendoff March 28 that drew municipal, county and state dignitaries.
This along with a special out-of-state guest, when Los Angeles Interim Registrar-Recorder Dean Logan, a former Flynn employee, Kitsap County Clerk and King County elections director, appeared to pay tribute to his former boss and mentor.
I cut my teeth as a public servant when I worked for Karen, Logan said. She made it clear that public service extends beyond the legal responsibilities. This may be participating in a career walk, a car wash or a fundraiser for hospice. She showed me how to make the community a better place to live, and I hope I can continue to do that in my career.
During the tributes in the county building, Flynns good nature and sweet demeanor was discussed in detail.
Yes, she was sweet on the surface, but she was also skilled in getting her point across. One speaker called her an iron butterfly.
Everyone talks about how sweet Karen is, said Washington Secretary of State Sam Reed. But she is also very tough. You cant push her around. She really fights for what she believes in.
Reed said that Flynn was instrumental in establishing the vote-by-mail system, which increases participation and results in a more informed voting public.
Former North Kitsap Commissioner Chris Endresen told of pointed, yet good-natured, disagreements that she had with Flynn.
When I first became a commissioner, I was required to serve on the canvassing board, Endresen said. This was where we met to decide the voter intent, what people meant when they were unable to connect the two ends of an arrow.
I was frustrated, she said, and became flip. I thought that if you cant figure out how to connect the arrow, then you shouldnt be able to vote. But Karen made it clear that there is nothing in the law that says you have to be intelligent in order to vote.
Endresen recalled a disagreement she had with Flynn about voting by mail, one that Endresen lost.
We all think Karen is sweet, kind and soft-spoken, Endresen said. But she can be terribly fierce. You have not seen anything until you have tried to get between Karen and her fantastic belief in the rights of the voter. And you dont want to be across the table from her when she leans over and says Chris, I am really disappointed in you.
Master of ceremonies (and Kitsap County Clerk) Dave Peterson, who may or may not have been paying attention to Endresens remarks, returned to the stage and said, Everyone is saying such nice things about Karen, so I decided to try something, Peterson said. If you take all of the letters in her same and reverse them, remove the vowels and shift the consonants to the preceding letter, it spells Mother Teresa.
State Rep. Sherry Appleton (D-Poulsbo) could not attend, but sent a message she said was a paraphrase of Thomas Jefferson: You can succeed Karen Flynn, but you cannot replace her.
Karen has a commitment to innovation, said North Kitsap Commissioner Steve Bauer. One thing that you can go to the bank on is the quality of work that is coming out of that office. She is entering an exciting chapter in her life, but she has left us with a quality department that none of us will have to worry about, and will continue on the same level of experience.
Flynn said Monday that she planned to pursue interests in interior design and gardening during her retirement. She also planned to spend more time with her family. (Her three sisters, mother and son were among her family members who attended the event).
Three candidates, Chief Deputy Auditor Walt Washington, Poulsbo attorney Sara Lingafelter and former county administrative services director are under consideration as Flynns successor. All three have met individually with the county commissioners, who will meet to determine a replacement.
Washington was selected as Flynns replacement by the commissioners and will serve until the next election.

WordPress help is never hard to find. There are many sites dedicated to helping WordPress users, including this Codex and the always-helpful forums. With so much content available, however, how do you know where to begin looking for help?
The WordPress FAQ is a good place to start, providing comprehensive answers to common questions. You could also read our document on using the WordPress forums to help you get better results from your support requests.
However, the best place to start looking for WordPress help is your favorite search engine. This is usually the quickest way to get the information you need, and helps to take the pressure off our hard-working volunteers in the support forums.
You can increase your search capabilities by adding the Codex Searcher Plugin, enabling you to search the Codex from your WordPress Administration Panels. Click on a search result and the page will open in a new window or tab, allowing you to have articles open while working on WordPress.
Finding the words to accurately describe your problem can be a challenge when searching for help. In addition, you may need to limit your search to WordPress resources or sites in order to get the information you need. The following section will show you how to choose the right search terms, and how to use those terms effectively.
Sometimes you can use error messages to generate the keywords needed in your help search. For example:
Warning: main(/home/atlantis/public_html/wp-includes/ functions.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/stargateatlantis/ public_html/wp-settings.php on line 67 Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/home/atlantis/public_html/wp-includes/ functions.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php: /usr/local/lib/php') in /home/stargateatlantis/ public_html/wp-settings.php on line 67
The key words you need to help you solve the problem are hidden within this information. In particular, the error specifically references the files that are causing the issue: functions.php and wp-settings.php. The names of these files will make up part of your search.
You could try opening the files directly to examine them. However, this may be of limited use, as the given line numbers may not correspond to the actual source of the error due to the way WordPress processes .php files.
The specific errors are failed to open stream and failed opening required, with both happening inside the wp-settings.php file. This indicates that the problem is likely with wp-settings.php rather than functions.php. The fact that both errors contain the words "failed" and "open" is another clue.
Armed with this information, create a search in your favorite search engine that includes the words:
wordpress failed open wp-settings.php
This should get you started on narrowing down the problem.
Not all keywords can be found so easily. If the problem is a CSS or HTML issue, you can include the specific tag or selector that the problem seems to lie with. However, you should still look to include words in your search, as it can be difficult to know which tag is the real source of the issue.
You may need to analyze the problem for a minute or two to in order to find the right terms. For example, if your web page layout differs between Microsoft Internet Explorer and another browser, then search for information on Internet Explorer layout bugs. If you have a layout error that remains consistent between browsers, on the other hand, identify the part of the layout that is affected. Is it the sidebar, header, post content, or comments? Likewise, if the header image is not showing up or not displaying correctly, begin by searching for wordpress header image and then add specifics such as wordpress header image missing to narrow things down.
Brainstorming is a useful technique to use if you are struggling for suitable keywords. To brainstorm your keywords, first write down the problem you are experiencing. Be as descriptive as possible:
I'm having trouble with the nested list in the sidebar of my layout. It isn't lining up the items under the titles right. It is keeping things on the left margin when I want them to be indented.
Your description should be a good source of potential keywords. In the above example, you can find:
All of these terms could be used as search keywords.
Alternatively, explain your problem to a non-WordPress expert. Stating the issue in simple terms is an excellent way to get to the heart of a problem and find the right keywords to summarize an issue.
Once you have selected your keywords, it's time to put them to work. Remember, your starting keywords are just that, a start point. As you dig into the information, you may replace those words with more specific ones in order to narrow the field down. For example, whilst searching for "wordpress sidebar layout nested links", you may discover that the problem lies within the specific theme you are using. Add the name of the theme to your keywords in order to narrow down your search.
Another way to improve the quality of your search results is to search a specific site, rather than the entire Internet. Most search engines allow you to run a search across one specific web address, helping you to avoid irrelevant results.
Google Yahoo and Bing all support use of the "site:" function within search terms. To search a specific domain via one of these sites, type your keywords and specify the site you want to search using the format "site:[domain]". For example:
keyword1 keyword2 keyword3 site:wordpress.org
This instructs the search engine to search all wordpress.org sites, such as www.wordpress.org, wiki.wordpress.org, and codex.wordpress.org.
To narrow your search down to a specific site, such as www.wordpress.org, enter:
keyword1 keyword2 keyword3 site:www.wordpress.org
This instructs the search engine to search only the www.wordpress.org site, including the Support Forums, but not the WordPress Codex or Wiki.
Other search engines provide varying ways to narrow searches down. Check their Advanced Search Options if available, or examine Search Engine Watch's Search Command list for details on searching by domain or url.
You narrow your search by grouping different keywords together. For example, instead of looking for:
sidebar layout nested list left margin indented
you could group key phrases together with quote marks:
sidebar layout "nested list" "left margin" indented
This would limit your search to anything with the words sidebar, layout, and indented, and the phrases "nested list" and "left margin."
Most search engines also allow you to use Boolean references such as AND, OR and NOT to group keywords together. For example, searching for:
"left margin" OR "nested list"
would return a list of pages containing either the phrase "left margin" or "nested list", as well as pages containing both of those terms.
For further information on improving your search technique, visit Search Engine Watch's Web Searching Tips.

"Is that a real butter patty?"
That question was asked on the 1970s TV show "WKRP in Cincinnati," and new market research is showing that today's consumers are asking the same question as they demand simpler, pure and flavor-packed ingredients. Their top pick in the so-called oil-and-fats food category isn't margarine and even olive oil – it's butter.
According to Advertising Age, butter has been growing in popularity among consumers. Grocery-unit sales of butter grew 2.19 percent in the year ending May 13, compared to olive oil's increase of just 0.21 percent. Margarine, spreads and butter blends, however, declined by 6.24 percent. Overall, butter led with $1.5 billion sales during this period, compared to margarine/spreads ($1.4 billion) and olive oil ($706 million)
Despite butter's burst of popularity, market research Euromonitor International expects the retail dollar sales of oil and fats product to stumble in the next few years. They predict retail sales to drop by 5 percent in the next five years. The economy is primarily to blame for the decline – as the economy improves, more consumers eat out. Additionally, consumers are growing ever-more health conscious, opting for oil-free methods of cooking instead of traditional oil or fat cooking.
Though the outlook for the category maybe be grim, there was some good news for the creamy dairy product. Euromonitor projects that butter's volume sales will grow by 10 percent through 2016, while margarine, viewed as "artificial" by consumers, is expected to continue falling.
Land O'Lakes, a giant in the butter industry, recently started an aggressive campaign to pull even further ahead of the competition.
Earlier this year, the company introduced its olive oil-infused butter and announced a partnership with web-darling, author and county cooking mogul Ree "Pioneer Woman" Drummond. Land O'Lakes plans to reach new and younger markets with their campaign, hoping to persuade them to use the new butter variety in ways primarily dominated by olive oil, such as sautéing and pan frying.
Some butter companies are focusing on other flavor options to beat out margarine, such as sea salt, cinnamon sugar and honey. Others are focusing on combining butter with canola oil to create spreadable butter, which was first launched on a large-scale by Land O'Lakes in 2000.
Spreadable butter as a subcategory is worth about $130 million and growing.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/6/2014 (1161 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My husband was mad at me for something mean I said and called my flat breasts "fried eggs." I should have laughed, but having small breasts is a vulnerable spot for me. I was so hurt I couldn't think of anything to toss back at him.
When I got to work I thought of something and phoned him at work. I called him "tiny" plus something that rhymes with totem. He just laughed -- obviously it didn't hurt him a bit. I feel devastated and he's roaring with laughter at his office. How can I get back at him where it really hurts? -- Flat-Chested Woman, Downtown
Dear Woman: Instead of looking for ways to hurt your husband, think of ways to surround yourself with the same kind of protection he does -- pride in himself, just the way he is. "Are you trying to insult my beautiful champagne glasses?" would have been a much better response to his unintelligent fried eggs comment. Here's the trick: you have to envision your breasts in that beautiful way and adopt the pride that goes with an elegant shape that will stay put as you age without the lowering effects of gravity.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I am deeply in love with an inappropriate person. I love my best female friend, and would even say I'm "in love" with her, but I have no sexual feelings towards her. None. She's lesbian and we tried kissing and more, but it did nothing for me. When I'm in the mood for physical love, I crave a man. What is wrong with me? -- Lost in the Middle, Downtown
Dear Lost: We are who we are, all different designs. Our outsides look different and our psyches work differently. For you, it takes a man to get your motor running. For your lady friend, it takes a woman. You can do all the wishing and hoping you want, but if you're wired to desire a man, you'd have to fake it to be with this woman. That's not fair to her.
You may have to take some distance from her if the sexual rejection hurts her. Is she "in love" with you, too, or was she just experimenting with you? If she is emotionally and physically in love, then you are taking time and energy that needs to be directed to another woman who fully wants her. Also, you now know you need time to find a guy who's a lot like her, personality-wise.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I've got sensitive teeth and was also quite fearful of visiting the dentist. It always came with a big dose of anxiety. These days, many dentists practise something called sleep dentistry. The patient is given a sedative and within about 10 minutes you are pretty much half asleep. This has worked out great for me, as not only do I not feel anything, I can barely remember sitting in the dentist's chair. You will feel groggy for a couple hours after the dentist is finished with his or her work, but it's completely pain-free with zero stress and anxiety. Costs are a bit higher when choosing sleep dentistry, but I highly recommend it. -- ZZZ, Winnipeg
Dear ZZZ: Not everyone likes the feeling of being sedated and out of control, but for those who are fine with that and fine with missing out on a dental experience that scared them, it's a good alternative.
One can't underestimate the importance of having a friend to take you home safely after the procedure, and even stay with you until you're fully alert.
Please send your questions or comments c/o firstname.lastname@example.com or mail letters to Miss Lonelyhearts c/o Winnipeg Free Press, 1355 Mountain Ave., Winnipeg, MB, R2X 3B6

The Reformers viewed the gospel as not merely one thing among many in the life of a church but rather the means by which the church exists. When the gospel is rightly declared and applied to God's people, the church becomes "a creature of the Word". She understands, embraces, and lives out the reality of Christ's birth, life, death, and resurrection in more than her doctrinal statement. The gospel impacts all the church is and does.
Creature of the Word lays out this concept in full, first examining the rich, scripture-based beauty of a Jesus-centered church, then clearly providing practical steps toward forming a Jesus-centered church. Authors Matt Chandler, Eric Geiger, and Josh Patterson write what will become a centering discussion piece for those whose goal is to be part of a church that has its theology, culture, and practice completely saturated in the gospel.
©2012 eChristian (P)2012 eChristian
I really enjoyed this book. It gives new understanding of the church and its function according to the gospel and the part we play.

What has been your favorite pre-natal vitamin during your pregnancy and post-partum period?
What has been your favorite pre-natal vitamin during your pregnancy and post-partum period?
Dear sunnymumof5,
I like to take the recommended vitamins (folic acid, Calcium and vitamin D) and then make an extra effort to ensure that my diet is healthy, balanced and packed with fresh fruit and vegetables. I also enjoy eating organic food in pregnancy because studies have shown these contain significantly higher vitamins and minerals than their non-organic equivalents.
Best wishes,
Pregnant women should aim to eat 70g of protein per day. This is in addition to the recommended vitamins. Protein is only converted to fat by the body if you eat more than the daily amount that your body needs. Before this level is reached the protein is used as energy - which is very important in pregnancy.
Warm wishes,
Vitamin A & Beta Carotene (770 mcg) Helps bones and teeth grow Liver, milk, eggs, carrots, spinach, green and yellow vegetables, broccoli, potatoes, pumpkin, yellow fruits, cantaloupe
Vitamin D (5 mcg) Helps body use calcium and phosphorus; promotes strong teeth and bones Milk, fatty fish, sunshine
Vitamin E (15 mg) Helps body form and use red blood cells and muscles Vegetable oil, wheat germ, nuts, spinach, fortified cereals
Vitamin C (80 – 85 mg) An antioxidant that protects tissues from damage and helps body absorb iron; builds healthy immune system Citrus fruits, bell peppers, green beans, strawberries, papaya, potatoes, broccoli, tomatoes
Thiamin/B1 (1.4 mg) Raises energy level and regulates nervous system Whole grain, fortified cereals, wheat germ, organ meats, eggs, rice, pasta, berries, nuts, legumes, pork
Riboflavin/B2 (1.4 mg) Maintains energy, good eyesight, healthy skin Meats, poultry, fish, dairy products, fortified cereals, eggs
Niacin/B3 (18 mg) Promotes healthy skin, nerves and digestion High-protein foods, fortified cereals and breads, meats, fish, milk, eggs, peanuts

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/11/2012 (1745 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
NEW YORK – CBA talks will continue in New York today with the hockey world intently watching.
Tuesday's seven-hour session resulted in both the NHL and NHLPA emerging with little to offer in terms of characterizing the discussions.
Player contracting issues, age of free agency and length of contracts among other points, was the focus on Tuesday. Today's negotiations set to begin at 1 p.m. at an undisclosed location will focus on the make-whole proposition.
Reports from Tuesday's session suggest the two sides did not conclude or come to full agreement on any contracting rights issues but now have a clear understanding of each side's position and where there is potential for give and take. If they can come to agreement on make-whole, the two sides would then revisit contracting issues. If one side gives on make-whole, they can expect a little bit of a get on the contracting issues.
"The player contracting rights are very important to them obviously," said NHLPA executive director Don Fehr, before Tuesday's talks and adding that the "make-whole" proposition is not the only issue needing to be solved.
The sides have agreed to split hockey related revenue down the middle but the players want contracts signed under their previous share of 57 per cent to be paid to the full dollar amount. The league originally proposed a mechanism that guaranteed those dollars through a deferment program that would eventually take those funds from the earning potential of future players.
Last week as the league cancelled the Winter Classic it also leaked the news they would be willing to fund the make-whole mostly out of their end.
"It depends on what (make-whole) appears to be," said Fehr. "Obviously, to the extent that the players can achieve the not going backwards that will be significant. It doesn't end the matter, there are still other things that are important."
The players want to see the league's make-whole mechanism on paper and determine if it is precisely what the NHL has discussed.
Discussions on Tuesday centred around the four main negotiators, Gary Bettman, Bill Daly and the Fehr brothers Don and Steve, in one room and owners and players in two others.
Today's meeting will also be closed to the media. Daly and Steve Fehr were expected to talk early today to discuss a time and place and get the two sides back in a room.

Upscience Downtown: Science Hack Day comes to Brooklyn
Posted by Francois Grey under Uncategorized | Permalink | | Leave A Comment
New York's World Science Festival, in the last week of May, is an amazing series of science-related events. If you want to see stars, and I mean the Hollywood variety, this is the place. Paul Rudd will be playing Einstein. Alan Alda will be handing out Kavli prizes to the great and good of science.
And the great and good are in no short supply. There's Julie Robinson, chief scientist for the space station, talking about the Right Stuff for research in space. There's Martin Rees, the UK's Astronomer Royal, talking about black holes, quantum physics and the Big Bang. There's Mary-Claire King, the geneticist who discovered the breast cancer gene. There's even a gaggle of celebrity writers like E. Doctorow, Joyce Carol Oates and Steven Pinker, talking about how they write about science.
It's great that so many brilliant people are willing to share their wisdom with the crowd. But what about the wisdom of the crowd? Where does that get shared? If all goes to plan, we'll see some pretty amazing crowdsourced science taking shape at Science Hack Day NYC, the second time this popular global event has happened in the Big Apple, and the first time in downtown Brooklyn. In case you're wondering what a Science Hack Day is, the short answer is tinkering with neat technology to do cool science. Here's a longer answer. Anyone can pitch a project, and try to assemble a team to work on it. After 24+ hours of non-stop hacking, teams present their results to judges, and some win awards for their efforts.
I've written about the winners of last year's Science Hack Day in this blog. All prizes went to projects pitched – not by professional scientists – but by students or alums from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. These weren't ordinary arts students, mind you. They were all part of an amazingly creative Masters programme at the edge of art, design and technology, NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program, ITP. And they had a home field advantage, since the event happened at ITP. But this year, I expect to see some of the winning projects pitched by people who are completely outside of the academic world – real amateurs. That's what I call upscience: inverting the pyramid of scientific enquiry, atop which brilliant professionals normally stand, so that inspired amateurs can shape scientific agendas that matter to them, their families and communities.
Talking trash cans
My favourite upscientist these days is a guy called Sean Auriti. He and his team turned up at Science and the City – a smaller hackfest I've been running for the last couple of years, which focuses on urban science themes. Sean's team quietly assembled the hardware and software for a fully functional interactive trash can, called eCan, that gives points as rewards for people cleaning up the streets, using the latest Q-code and mobile phone technologies to interact with the users – or more accurately, the players, since this clever device effectively gamifies a major environmental issue.
Now my colleagues and I at CUSP, NYU's Center for Urban Science and Progress, are helping Sean get eCan beyond just a proof of principle. We're providing technical feedback and advice about how to turn eCan into an educational tool. We're also helping Sean make connections to organizations and companies that have a vested interest in seeing this innovative device succeed. But eCan is Sean's project, not ours. And it will be on display at Science Hack Day, where Sean will be looking to make an even niftier version of it.
That's upscience to me, and it's definitely not the usual order of things. Normally scientists are supposed to have the bright ideas, and spin them off with the help of investors and on the back of erudite papers and expensive patents. But when it comes to urban science, at least, the crowd may have the best ideas. After all, you don't need to be an expert on black holes to see that New York has a trash problem. And you don't need to be a rocket scientist to have a bright idea for dealing with that problem.
What I like most about eCan is what you see when you lift the lid. A Raspberry Pi, an Arduino, and other assorted low-cost electronics. Typical ingredients of open-source hardware projects being devised in maker spaces all over the US and around the world. (Sean helped start a small makerspace in Brooklyn a few years ago, it turns out.) Now imagine what would happen if more mainstream scientists spent time with makers like Sean, and helped them turn their ideas into practical tools for science, urban or otherwise.
Better still, don't imagine it. Come to Science Hack Day NYC and you'll see this happening in practice. Even if you don't think of yourself as a hacker or a maker, you can participate in the Citizen Science Explorers Program that we're organizing each afternoon, and learn how to be an active participant in ongoing research, by collecting, analyzing or simulating data on your laptop or your smartphone.
Science Hack Day NYC is possible thanks to many people. Thanks to Ariel Waldman for creating the Science Hack Day meme and sharing it so generously with the world. Thanks to Caroline Gelb for convincing her colleagues at World Science Festival that they needed this kind of hands-on event in their portfolio, and working tirelessly with her team to make the event happen. Thanks to George Agudow and Dan O'Sullivan at ITP, as well as the many students there who have patiently supported my hackfest mania, through hurricanes and snowstorms. Thanks to Dana Karwas and Luke Dubois at NYU's Media and Games Network MAGNET, for generously sharing their space and their time in order to bring Science Hack Day to Brooklyn. And thanks to my many colleagues at CUSP for embracing an out-of-the-ordinary event: Steve, Ari, Nick, Masoud, Greg, Charlie, Justin, and the CUSP students who are behind a lot of the projects in the Citizen Science Explorers Programme. Thanks to Liz and her colleagues at Public Lab, my fave upscience organization, for their unstinting support of the event. And above all, thanks to the hundreds of New Yorkers who have come to science hackfests, both big and small, that I've helped organized over the last couple of years. Your enthusiasm and dedication is what makes these events come alive!

SPECIAL constables tackled anti-social behaviour and rural burglary as they went out on patrol during a weekend designed to showcase their valuable work.
The specials based at Droitwich were out on patrol on Saturday (April 5) with officers from Droitwich Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT), targeting both ant-social behaviour hotspots and rural crime.
West Mercia Police were promoting the work of the Special Constabulary as part of "National Specials Weekend".
Special Constables are volunteers who commit to a number of hours each month to support regular police officers, including in Worcestershire and Herefordshire. They support regular officers in a range of duties including patrols, investigating crimes, dealing with offenders, engaging with the community and proactive operations to prevent and detect crime.
Assistant chief constable Gareth Morgan said: "Our Special Constabulary plays an integral role in local policing and keeping the public safe.
"These are citizens who volunteer their time, over and above their jobs and other commitments, to go that extra mile to police our streets and ensure our communities are a safe place to live, visit and work.
"We are delighted to be involved in Specials Weekend and to highlight the valuable contribution the Special Constabulary makes."
Special Constables volunteer for a minimum of 16 hours per month and undergo thorough training. Once trained, Special Constables wear the same uniform as regular police officers and have the same powers of arrest. Anyone who is a UK Citizen, member of the EEC or Commonwealth between the ages of 18 and 60 can apply.
Warwickshire Police and West Mercia Police Special Constabulary currently has 598 Officers and aims to increase that number to 795 across both forces by April 2016.

Ryan, state GOP leaders pump up crowd in Harrisburg
MIDDLETOWN — From the deficit to jobs, the Romney-Ryan ticket won't duck tough issues and instead will "run at these problems," Paul Ryan told an enthusiastic crowd gathered here on Saturday, which included some of the state's top Republicans.
"I say in three days, we're in and Obama's out," Ryan, the GOP vice presidential nominee, said during a stop at Harrisburg International Airport, referring to Election Day on Tuesday.
Ryan heard chants of "three more days" from about 2,000 supporters like Chris Rice of Port Royal, Juniata County.
"I support the Romney-Ryan ticket and want to see them go on to victory," said Rice, who drove for 1 1⁄2 hours to get to the event. "Besides getting rid of Obama, we've got to get rid of Democratic senators."
Rice, 61, a retiree, said he places Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scranton, in that category because of policies he has supported that Rice believes are detrimental to coal. Rice wore a blue-and white "Coal equals Jobs" cap.
"We've got to stop spending money we just don't have," said Ryan, who campaigned separately from running mate Mitt Romney.
That hurts the economy now and passes off debt to "our children and grandchildren," Ryan said. "We can't wait four more years."
Former Gov. Tom Ridge told the crowd "the next time I see (Ryan), I'm going to call him Mr. Vice President."
"Our enemies, they're not fearful," said Ridge, the nation's first head of Homeland Security. "We need to be respected around the world."
President Obama is "appealing to our worst fears," Ryan told the crowd. "He suggests people vote out of revenge. Mitt Romney and I are asking you to vote out of love of country."
Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Lehigh, Ryan's former roommate in Washington, said the Democrats "want four more years. I say they've got three more days.
"Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are going to turn this economy around," Toomey said.
Gov. Tom Corbett encouraged people attending to get friends and neighbors to vote and to call any undecideds or independents and sell them on the Romney-Ryan ticket.

Most New Mexicans have never spotted a wild river otter. In the 19th century, the animals were trapped out of existence in much of their historic range. The last one known to have lived—or at least died—in New Mexico was caught in a beaver trap set in the Gila River near the town of Cliff in 1953. You can still visit that unlucky fellow; his pelt is preserved at the University of New Mexico's Museum of Southwestern Biology.
Given that river otters once swam and hunted fish and frogs in the Gila, it made sense to bring them back—and to work toward making the region's ecosystem whole again. So in 2006, when the New Mexico Game Commission voted to approve the reintroduction of river otters in the upper Rio Grande, then-Commissioner Dutch Salmon requested a second release area in the Gila. Voting unanimously, the commission directed the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish to restore otters to both watersheds.
Two years later, Game and Fish, Taos Pueblo, the US Bureau of Land Management, the US Department of Agriculture and a coalition of organizations called New Mexico Friends of the River Otter began releasing wild otters from Washington into the waters of the upper Rio Grande.
But the Gila releases never occurred, in part because the agency had to determine which stretches of water might have sufficient flows and food to support six new otters.
Then, this past January, members of New Mexico Friends of the River Otter received a letter from their longtime partner at Game and Fish's Conservation Services Division, James Stuart, who had just met with Director Jim Lane, Assistant Director RJ Kirkpatrick and CSD Chief Matt Wunder. Personnel changes at the agency and on the Game Commission—whose seven politically appointed members set policy—required the agency to re-examine its projects, Stuart wrote. Citing the otters' possible impacts on threatened and endangered species and sport fisheries, as well as concerns raised by the US Fish and Wildlife Service and Arizona Game and Fish, the department no longer supported river otter reintroductions in the Gila basin.
Seemingly straightforward, that letter's three paragraphs actually do a good job of obscuring facts about the reintroduction.
First of all, the Game Commission sets policy. Unless the commission overturns its 2006 vote, Game and Fish must continue supporting the program. Not only that, but Arizona successfully reintroduced river otters to the Verde River in the 1980s. (At the time of Game and Fish's 2006 feasibility study, New Mexico was the only state within the historic range of the river otters without an established population of native or introduced otters.) If Arizona has regretted that move, officials haven't documented their concerns—or Game and Fish hasn't yet released that documentation. As of press time, the agency has yet to fulfill an Inspection of Public Records Act request from SFR, and neither Stuart, Lane nor Kirkpatrick returned SFR's calls requesting comment.
What about the Fish and Wildlife Service, the federal agency mandated to protect endangered species? Since 2010, New Mexico Game and Fish and FWS have been conferring over how the reintroduced otters might affect seven species of rare fish, the Chiricahua leopard frog and the northern Mexican gartersnake in the Gila.
"Our involvement was that we wanted more information," FWS Public Affairs Specialist Tom Buckley says. "We didn't tell them they could or couldn't do it. We just wanted more information."
There's also the matter of what Game and Fish's own biologists have said about reintroducing river otters to the Gila.
"Conceptually, I support it, but if it's done, it needs to be done in a very careful way," says David Propst, who before retiring from Game and Fish last year had raised concerns about potential impacts to endangered fish."You need to go cautiously, but you can put some safeguards in place, like radio transmitters or radio telemetry, to see what they do." If it looks like otters are about to cause problems, he explains, they can be relocated away from the imperiled native fish populations.
That's the same request the Friends of the River Otter have made—that the otters be monitored.
Admitting that he's ambivalent about the reintroduction, Propst believes that the department erred in unilaterally deciding not to return river otters to the Gila. "They should do a rigorous risk assessment," he says, "because, the way that it's been done, it looks like it's politically driven, rather than driven by good science and evidence."
It's obvious that Game and Fish leadership is concerned about something—but it might be politics rather than native fish. Even Salmon wonders what's happening.
"They're dancing around the issue, saying it's because the Fish and Wildlife Service has concerns about endangered species, but to the Game and Fish Department, the otter in the Gila probably looks like a potential controversy they'd rather avoid," Salmon says.
This wouldn't be the first time that Game and Fish's new leadership has backed away from controversy. Until recently, Game and Fish was a staunch supporter of The Mexican Wolf Recovery Program, which is led by the FWS but involves state and tribal partners. In 2008 and 2009, Game and Fish even opposed FWS' plans to remove wolves suspected of preying on livestock, causing the federal agency to change its policy. But at its June 2011 meeting, the Game Commission voted to end the state's participation in the Wolf Recovery Program.
For his part, Salmon also represents a constituency that might be bothered by the presence of otters. "I fish the Gila River system in New Mexico quite avidly, and if anybody should be concerned about the otters eating all the sport fish, it would be me," he says. "But I'm not too worried."
On Feb. 23, the Game Commission will hold its monthly meeting in Hobbs—and river otters are on the agenda. Visit wildlife.state.nm.us for more information.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The visiting Rollins College Tars' attack proved to be just too much for Saint Leo as the Lions dropped a 25-22, 25-23, 25-17 decision in Sunshine State Conference action on Wednesday night from the Bowman Center. The loss snapped a four game win-streak for Saint Leo.
The Tars (20-7, 8-2 SSC) controlled the majority of the match with their three dominant players, Megan Hodges, Kelly Meridith and Camille Indest all having big games. The Lions (12-11, 5-6 SSC) gave up a 12-2 run in set two only to rally to within one at 24-23, but a Hodges kill closed out the game. Rollins would control game three to put the period on the end of the SSC match.
38 of the Tars' 47 kills came from three visitors as Hodges posted 17, Merideth had 11 and Indest added 10. As a team, Rollins hit .310 as Indest hit .450 with just one error.
For the Lions, Danielle Bletso notched 14 kills while freshman Lauren Campbell continued to impress with 10 kills and a game-high .667 attack average.
The opponents don't get any easier for the Lions as they move past the South Region's No. 2 team and now look toward Division II's top-ranked team in the Tampa Spartans. The Lions and Spartans will get underway on Saturday afternoon at 4:00 p.m. at the Marion Bowman Activities Center.

Connections 20076. Dividing East and West
Scholars have long represented the eastern Mediterranean and Mesopotamia during ancient times as the cradle of the "western" civilization. By tracing back western tradition to these territories of the Greek and Roman empires, they have appropriated these regions for the purposes of western historical memory. Yet much of what we think of as 'western' has its roots in Asia, and these areas were also the heartlands of Islamic cultures, societies that the West has often marginalized as "other". How can the symbolism and history of one geographic region be used to signify the glory of the past and then become diminished? These two courses advance an alternative approach to studying the eastern Mediterranean and Mesopotamia. Classics 140 examines this region from the second millennium BCE through late antiquity, and explores the forces that began to bring about the split between East and West. History 251 continues the historical narrative by examining how Islam emerged in this region and came to construct a hybrid civilization based on Greco-Roman and Judeo-Christian/pagan cultures, and yet became distinct on its own.

Fair Trade Makes It Easy To Be A Responsible Consumer
Guest Blogger: Tom Lynch, Founder of Worthwhile Wine Company in Atlanta, GA
Guest blogger Tom Lynch, Founder of Worthwhile Wine Company, shares why he believes that buying Fair Trade Certified wine is so important to farmers and workers in the South African wine industry.
On August 22nd of this year, Human Rights Watch (HRW) released a report titled "Ripe with Abuse: Human Rights Conditions in South Africa's Fruit and Wine Industries" via a press release titled "South Africa: Farmworkers' Dangerous, Dismal Lives." The headline alone was enough to make some people boycott wine from South Africa.
However, as usual, there is more to this story than the headline, and much more that consumers need to know if they are to be conscientious consumers that can make a positive difference in the world. The reality is that, after 300+ years of slavery and Apartheid, the massive efforts to address inequality in South Africa have not erased that history in just 17 years – abuse of workers (on farms and elsewhere) still does occur (as it does, unfortunately, in many countries).
However, on the majority of vineyards, there is no abuse. And on some, there is also empowerment, training, progressive hiring and promoting, and most important, actual land ownership. So, if consumers were to just follow the headlines of the HRW report, decide the entire industry is "ripe with abuse," and boycott South African wines, those consumers would actually do great harm to many of the people they hope to help.
But we're all very busy, and constantly bombarded by messages. It is often much easier to just boycott an entire country's products when, as in this instance, abusive companies were not identified, and the entire industry is painted with a broad brush. Which is exactly what brings me to one of the things I think is most valuable about Fair Trade Certified™ products.
As an importer of sustainably made wines from South Africa, I know there are many wineries that are making incredible investments in housing, working conditions, education, promotion, and even equity-sharing with their workers. We look for that in every winery we import from. But as consumers, you can't do that sort of research in order to be certain. Luckily, you don't have to. Seeing the Fair Trade Certified™ label quickly and easily gives you confidence that you can really make an impact in a place like South Africa by supporting wineries that are showing the way to a progressive future.
Most studies show consumers want to buy products made with care for the earth and people - but knowing how to do that must be easy and credible if consumers are to act. As a consumer, searching for and buying Fair Trade Certified products is about as easy and credible as it gets. South African wine is a perfect example of this.
So, don't pass by the South African wines you see because you're afraid you might support a company abusing workers. In fact, if you want to really make a positive impact, make the extra effort to go to the South Africa wine section and find a winery that is empowering their workers. Finding a Fair Trade Certified wine is the easiest way to do that.
Tom Lynch is founder of Worthwhile Wine Company in Atlanta Georgia. Worthwhile Wine Company is a wine importer with the most awarded portfolio of sustainably made wines in the US. Their mission is to provide conscientious consumers with reliably great wine that are sustainably made. Great wines. Better lives.

From un- + canny; thus "beyond one's ken," or outside one's familiar knowledge or perceptions.
uncanny (comparative uncannier, superlative uncanniest)
- Strange, and mysteriously unsettling (as if supernatural); weird.
- He bore an uncanny resemblance to the dead sailor.
- (Britain dialectal) Careless.
- (Can we clean up(+) this sense?) (psychology, psychoanalysis, Freud) Simultaneously familiar and foreign, often uncomfortably so; translation of Freud's usage of the German "unheimlich" (literally "unsecret").
- 2011, Espen Dahl, Hans-Gunter Heimbrock, In Between: The Holy Beyond Modern Dichotomies, page 99:
- [The uncanny is] something that was long familiar to the psyche and was estranged from it only through being repressed. The link with repression now illuminates Schelling′s definition of the uncanny as 'something that should have remained hidden and has come into the open.' (Freud: 2003, 147 f)
- 2003, Nicholas Royle, The Uncanny, page 1 [1]:
- The uncanny involves feelings of uncertainty, in particular regarding the reality of who one is and what is being experienced.
- 2011, Anneleen Masschelein, The Unconcept: The Freudian Uncanny in Late-Twentieth-Century Theory, page 2 [2]:
- Because the uncanny affects and haunts everything, it is in constant transformation and cannot be pinned down.
- 2001, Diane Jonte-Pace, Speaking the Unspeakable, page 81 [3]:
- In the preceding chapter, we saw that Freud linked the maternal body, death, and the afterlife with the uncanny in his famous essay "The Uncanny" ("Das Unheimliche").
- 1982, Samuel Weber, The Legend of Freud, page 20 [4]:
- This uncontrollable possibility—the possibility of a certain loss of control—can, perhaps, explain why the uncanny remains a marginal notion even within psychoanalysis itself.
- 2005, Barbara Creed, Phallic Panic, page vii [5]:
- Freud argued that the uncanny was particularly associated with feelings of horror aroused by the figure of the paternal castrator, neglecting the tropes of woman and animal as a source of the uncanny.
- 1994, Sonu Shamdasani and Michael Münchow, Speculations after Freud, page 186 [6]:
- As is well known, Freud introduced the concept of the uncanny into psychoanalysis in 1919 and used The Sandman as a prime illustration for his definition.

WWE RAW 10/22 Ratings Breakdown ~ The Deluxe Lounge
by, 10-25-2012 at 11:05 AM (3409 Views)
Guess whose back? Back again. The lounge is back. Tell a friend.
Boy, do I have some interesting numbers for you this week. I'm sure most of you have already heard about the overall rating this time around. Yes, the horrid 2.5 has been outdone and you'll be shocked to read what caused the all-time yearly low rating -- or maybe you won't. Without further ado (or is it adieu, I never figured that out), let's feed you more numbers.
The October 22nd episode of WWE RAW drew a 2.48 cable rating with 3.55 million viewers. There you have it. 2.48 is the new all-time low for WWE this year. Keep in mind that we had to compete against the presidential debate and Monday Night Football, which most likely had an effect on ratings. Then again, the ratings weren't always this susceptible to a decrease in viewers because WWE used to hold its own back in the day. I mean, it is still not as bad as the lowest rating in 1997, which I believe is the overseas episode of RAW and that got a 2.3. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Still, all around, this is bad for WWE. Who knows what the company is going to do to rectify this problem, but let's hope they do something -- and fast. I can only fear the ratings will get lower before they get better. Anyways, let's see what caused this low rating.
Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara vs. Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow opened with a 2.46 quarter rating. The show starts off with a great wrestling contest between two very good tag teams. Rhodes Scholars continue to impress me as weeks go by and I'm excited about their match this Sunday. That being said, this was surprisingly weak in terms of viewership. I'm positive a lot of the fans were too focused on the presidential debate to really care about the show during this time, if not that the football game. Again, some fans are so condition to watching RAW around the 9 PM / 8 PM central mark that they're just in the habit of turning on RAW an hour later than start time. I doubt WWE could have done anything about this.
Kofi Kingston vs. Michael McGillicutty lost 41,000. Okay, this segment ticked me off. What was WWE trying to accomplish in this match? If it was to get a new face on TV, then why didn't you give Michael McGillicutty promo before his match??? When was the last time this man was even on RAW? Last Year? Wouldn't it have been a great idea to remind fans of who he is and what he plans to do? But no, we do not get that. We get a RANDOM, POINTLESS, and UNEVENTFUL match between McGillicutty and Kingston that does absolutely nothing for either opponent. Kingston beating McGillicutty does nothing for his credibility or The Miz who was on commentary. Miz should have interfered and cost Kingston the match and gave McGillicutty some recognition at the very least, or if we weren't going to get that, then give the man a damn promo!
[Soapbox rant]
The purpose is to create new stars, right? Then do the things necessary for these stars to be created! Give them promos! Give them a reason and a purpose of being on TV. Because if you're just throwing them on TV, that's not enough. A local jobber can get time on TV. Hell, if I'm lucky, I CAN GET TIME ON TV! Would that qualify me as a new star?? NO! And people wonder why some of these wrestlers feel like JOBBERS because they're treated like jobbers. What's the result of all this? The viewing public not giving a shit. That's why fans tuned out during this segment and I don't blame them. And it's a damn shame too. We got a bright young talent like Joe Hennig, the son of "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig, who can do GREAT things for WWE but he isn't getting the proper time or showcasing to do so. Stupid. Absolutely stupid!
[Soapbox rant over]
Whew! Sorry about that. Let's move on.
John Cena's promo and an appearance by CM Punk and Paul Heyman gained 530,000 viewers. Two of the biggest viewership draws in one segment. Are you surprised by the increase? I'm not. The promo wasn't even all that eventful. All Cena did was endorse Ryback as the "next big star" and verbally bury CM Punk for lying to the fans, not living up to his promise for "change", and being all about him. Kind of reminded me of Mitt Romney in a sense, which is not a good thing. Punk out promos him like usual and the segment ends with Cena and Punk about to clash, only for Paul Heyman to speak up against it and have Punk retreat to the back. Nothing we haven't seen before. Nonetheless, it gave us a much needed increase in viewership.
Justin Gabriel vs. Antonio Cesaro in the rematch from a week earlier lost 372,000 viewers. And just as soon as we got new viewers, we lose over half of them in the next segment. Now granted, the match between Gabriel and Cesaro was a solid, well worked match. But again. WWE failed to give fans a reason to care about it. Obviously, the problem here is that most fans have no investment in Cesaro and the only fans that do are the small-vocal wrestling fans who appreciate a good wrestler. What is there to hate about Cesaro? What is there to love about him? What does this man HAVE to make people care about him? At the same time, what about Justin Gabriel? What is there to love about him, or hate about him? Gabriel is ANOTHER victim of someone who could have used promo time or a segment to get himself over. WWE isn't doing anything to help fans care about these wrestlers and the result is the decrease in viewership. Yes, it may be a result of the presidential debate, but that just further proves how weak the WWE creative is at creating interest for fans.
Vince McMahon, AJ Lee, Paul Heyman and Vickie Guerrero gained 529,000 viewers for a 2.91 quarter rating. As hard to believe as it may sound, this was the highest point of the show. AJ Lee's resignation as a General Manager and Vickie Guerrero's promotion as the Managing Supervisor. This apparently is not a GM or a Interim GM, but she has the same powers as a GM or interim GM. So, pretty much, she is the GM with a new name. Don't ask. Oh, and the reason AJ Lee lost her job is because she was fraternizing or having an "affair" with a wrestler backstage. First off, didn't Vickie Guerrero "fraternize" with Edge in 2008 when she was the Smackdown General Manager? PLOT-HOLE! Secondly, is anyone really going to feel sympathy for AJ over this? This is the same girl who made out with Bryan, Punk, and Kane in a span of a month. Now we're supposed to feel sorry for her that she might potentially be having an "affair" with John Cena? Finally, you can't have an affair unless you're MARRIED and, last I check, both were single. Regardless of the many plot holes in this storyline, the segment had the most viewers out of any match or backstage segment of the show. That only means it is all downhill from here.
The Miz vs. Ryback and the backstage brawl with Layla, Eve Torres and Kaitlyn lost 613,000 viewers. Ouch! This isn't a good sign for Ryback. Literally everyone that tuned in to see the AJ Lee segment and some of the remaining viewers from the Cena and Punk promo changed the channel when this match came on. If anyone needs proof that Ryback is not ready to be a champion, THIS IS IT! How can you make someone a world champion when its obvious fans don't care about him? The man cannot draw by himself and unless he is beating up CM Punk that will not be changing anytime soon either. Fans knew as soon as they heard Miz was facing Ryback that he was going to lose so why even watch it. On another note, I personally enjoyed the catfight backstage between Layla, Eve Torres, and Kaitlyn. Sadly, it did nothing or the viewership of this show.
Daniel Bryan vs. Dolph Ziggler lost 253,000 viewers for a quarter rating of 2.31. Yes, I know. The most talked about RAW match in MONTHS not only lost viewers and but had one of the lowest quarter ratings this year. Shocking, I know! And don't get me wrong. The match was fantastic! I loved it personally and it was a much needed win for Dolph Ziggler. So many factors contribute to why this failed to draw viewers. One, it was the top of the third hour and we all know how badly most fans are exhausted by the third hour. Two, it was a match with NO HYPE whatsoever and got no mention until it actually came on. If WWE would have advertised the match at the beginning, maybe fans would have tuned into it more. But they didn't. As a result, a great match that if advertised correctly COULD HAVE garnered more viewers, instead, lost them and it is a sad thing to see. You know what's worse? This was not the lowest segment of the show....
The game show segment with Team Hell No and Kane vs. Big Show gained 62,000 viewers in the 10 pm time slot. Now, I know what you're thinking. "How the hell did this travesty gain viewers and such a fantastic match between Bryan and Ziggler lose them" That is something I am still pondering over and when you figure it out, please let me know. But yeah, this was stupid. Matt Striker and the wrestlers themselves even mocked it.
Btw, the idea of Matt Striker possibly being "that evil genius" that wants to take down Hell No! just screams so many possibilities of awesomeness.
John Cena confronts Vince McMahon and Zack Ryder vs. Alberto Del Rio Gained 26,000 viewers. Not much to talk about here. Del Rio beats Zack Ryder for the one millionth time and Cena confronts Vince McMahon about the rumor of the affair between him and AJ. It got us a small increase but an increase regardless.
The Dolph Ziggler interview, a Ryback video and the Lumberjacks entrances lost 319,000 viewers for a 2.15 quarter. I'm sure Ziggler is going to lose sleep over this one, if he even knows about it. This is the lowest point of the show. A record setting 2.15. That has got to hurt.
The Lumberjacks main event with CM Punk vs. Sheamus gained 1,058,000 viewers for a 2.89 quarter rating. Like always, the main event match gaina the most viewers and, yet again, it involves our reigning champion of viewership, CM Punk. This gain was not as big as the gain Vince and CM Punk got a few weeks ago, but it's bigger than the one Cena and Big Show received earlier this year. The match was good and we got the typical ending of Ryback beating up Punk to remind fans about the main event this Sunday. Nothing to complain about so that is that.
So next up is Hell in a Cell 2012 this Sunday. The video of the week is my preview of the PPV coming up so feel free to watch it below. Other than that, see you next week for the aftermath of Hell in a Cell.

Did you know?
The Blue Grotto forest shelters over 150 species of birds including the uncommon Bush Blackcap.
The Drakensberg Canopy Tour is South Africa's fifth treetop tour, and the second KwaZulu-Natal canopy tour (the other is in the Karkloof forest in the Midlands).
It's the longest in the Canopy Tour franchise, and an exciting activity in the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg, an area well known for its walks, hikes, outdoor pursuits and stunning mountain scenery.
The tour takes place in the indigenous Blue Grotto forest located on the property of the Drakensberg Sun Lifestyle Resort in the Central Drakensberg's Cathkin Valley. Comprising 12 slides that zigzag above, below and even through the indigenous forest canopy, it's a breezy escapade for thrill-seekers aged seven to 70.
The tour's first slide – aptly named the Rabbit Hole – eases you into the activity via a short, easy ride. When you experience your first swift charge down the reinforced steel cable (capable of taking the weight of a small car) you'll be literally and metaphorically hooked.
From then on it's approximately three hours of sliding from platform to platform, whooping delightedly, yelling encouragement to your fellow speedsters, and pausing only to admire the lush beauty of the valley's waterfall, yellowwood, red pear, pink-foliaged Cape chestnut trees, and a variety of birdlife.
Every slide and platform on this treetop tour provides a different view and experience, from slide four, perched like an eagle's eyrie 60m above the forest floor, to slide five, a full-throttle 170m-long speedway.
You're never unharnessed at any point on the tour, and always under supervision by trained, qualified guides, so just relax and enjoy the ride. If you're nervous or afraid of heights, a guide will tandem slide with you. Your tour includes the option of a professional video and photos of your adventure, which will make you the envy of friends and family.
