How long does each run/walk take?
Hello. I'm just getting my head round starting this and starting to plan the runs/walks to and from my home. Before I get used to creating circuits I will probably have to turn round half way. With this in mind, can anyone tell me how long each walk/run is for each week? e.g. for Week One it says "Begin with a brisk 5-minute walk, then alternate 60 seconds of running and 90 seconds of walking, for a total of 20 minutes." - so is this a total of 25 minutes??? Thanks in advance.

Pentaho Report Designer
WARNING: Work in progress, subject to frequent change as I keep learning.
with Mondrian/Pentaho BI Server
Pentaho Report Designer seems a natural fit for creation of pixel-perfect reports based on the Pentaho BI Server. But the documentation has some pretty big holes. I may offer the project a few wiki pages once I figure out what to write. For now, I'm documenting here a few things that have worked for me. I don't claim this is the best way to do it, merely that it worked.
For cube creation, this is a good tutorial
Official Docs, Holes Notwithstanding
- PRD Documentation
- 3 pages onusing cubes in PRD
My Environment
- Lenovo ThinkServer w/ 4 GB of RAM -- I resell these ... contact me for an EXTREMELY competitive price!
- Ubunto 12.04 LTS
- Gnome
- Pentaho BI Server CE 5.0
- Pentaho Report Designer CE 5.0
I followed this for installation of Pentaho Report Designer
- Under Add Datasource, I chose Olap ... Pentaho Analysis. I haven't figured out how the similar options differ.
- Select or add a connection on the lower right of the window that appears.
- A Native Mondrian connection tempted me, but I never figured that out. Instead, I created the same connection that BI Server used, in my case to a MySQL DB.
- Probably a better idea would be to set up a JNDI connection.
- The schema file was the next thing to figure out. I had created a cube in BI Server, but no schema file was on the machine, at least as far as I could find it. However, BI Server gives you the option to export the data source if you look under Manage Data Sources. That provided me a zip with a schema.xml file as well as an .xni.xni file that I never did decipher. Putting those files in a good place on your server allows you to use that schema.xml file in your report.
- Next you must add the query. You name the query and add the MDX. I used pivot4J, a very nice add-in available through the "marketplace" section of BI Server, to generate the MDX for a report that had all the information I wanted but was not pretty enough for the CFO to use.
Adding an MDX DatasourceThis is where the gaps in official documentation started getting me. There's a heading for this information, but it's blank ... so ... here's what I've figured out so far.
Tips on MDX
- Provide all the columns you need in your MDX query. If you have too many, particularly too many aggregated (rolled up) ones, you just don't have to put them on your report.
- Don't provide too many rows in the MDX query. Every row will show up on your report. Let PRD do grouping for you. That is, you probably don't want .All in your rows. You probably want to omit the ability to do rollups from your MDX and use SUM() functions in PRD instead.
- You can use parameters in any portion of the MDX query ... but get your MDX working with a hard-coded WHERE clause before bringing it to PRD.
Report Design Tips
- MDX fields tend to have ridiculously long names -- like ["[Vw Dim Month].[Vw Dim Month.MonthDisplay].[All Vw Dim Month.MonthDisplays].[11 - Nov]/[Dim AssetGroup].[Dim AssetGroup.Abbr].[All Dim AssetGroup.Abbrs].[JHC]/[Dim Subsidiary].[Dim Subsidiary.Abbr].[All Dim Subsidiary.Abbrs]/[Measures].[Amount]"] Those force the field to take way too much room on the report. You will need to manually set your height in the style section
- If you drag an "open" formula onto your report, it creates a text field, not a number field, so you can't do numeric formatting. Instead, manually put on a number field and set its "field" to your formula.
Formula Tips
- Partial formula documentation is available.
- More advanced documentation for some formulae is also available.
- IF formula expects parentheses after True and False: IF([Amount]>100;TRUE();FALSE())
- Diethard Steiner has written an excellent article on parameters in PRD, covering MDX and MXL queries
- Architect Thomas Morgner explains details of the parameter architecture
- Use the ${param} syntax, not the Parameter() function as there's a question about whether use of the Parameter function is broken.
- In PRD, configure the parameter as a String type. Other types may work, but I could not in any way get the Number or Integer types to work.
- To power a drop-list, create a separate query
- Select different elements for Prompt Value than Display Name. Select the appropriate column, e.g. ::column::1 for Prompt Value and the appropriate member, e.g. [Time].[Years] for the Display Name.
- I don't know why the above rule holds, but it seems to. It works ... and we found no other combination that did.
After You Publish ...
- You will probably publish your report to your BI server ... which usually works well.
- If you publish a report and get errors saying "Report Validation Failed" when you attempt to load it, look at the pentaho.log file.
- Quite possibly, the schema file is invalidly defined or named or permissions to read it are inadequate.
- If you have more than one parameter, you must disable auto-submit. You can uncheck the box ... but your users won't do that every time.
- The Master Report section has auto-submit and auto-submit-default attributes. Set them to false.
If you need to look at the code ...
- For Mondrian, have a look at the Mondrian Developers' Guide
- Even just to see some of the code, you need to run the ANT build ... b/c some of it is auto-generated :(
- For PRD, Thomas Morgner's blog has the up-to-date source / build instructions

Named by TakePart.com as one of "10 Education Documentaries You Don't Want to Miss", "Race to Nowhere" brings communities together to spark dialogue and galvanize change in America's schools.
Featuring the heartbreaking stories of students across the country who have been pushed to the brink by over-scheduling, over-testing and the relentless pressure to achieve, "Race to Nowhere" points to a silent epidemic in our schools.

Think about what career is best suited for you, and where you want to study. Request more information now.
Get the facts about Oxnard College athletic fields, and registering for discussion sections and departmental electives. Not all recruiting is done like NCAA Division I teams. College coaches like to watch video of real games. If you are interested in playing college sports, make a highlight film of your high school games, ready to send to coaches once you begin recruitment. Alternatively, post your videos online, for greater exposure. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Oxnard College Athletic information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Oxnard College.
As a student athlete, you can play college sports competitively at an intercollegiate level, or just for fun via intramurals. Please keep in mind that few students will qualify for athletic scholarships, and that college coaches sward available sports scholarship money judiciously.
Approximately 126,000 student athletes go to college on either a partial or full athletic scholarship, but the vast majority of college athletic teams have open tryouts, and walk-ons may land a position on the team if they are talented enough. If you've been recruited or made it past a walk-on tryout, that's when the real challenge starts. You still have to make it through daily practices, and several rounds of cuts in order to make the team. Mid-State Technical College spring sports may indicate that it's an option to delay college entrance by a year. An extra year in high school or prep school can allow players to mature mentally, bring grades and SAT test scores up, put on weight and gain strength. Beyond consideration for Oxnard College athletic fields, you may think about University of Guyana course notes for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Cambridge University law experts say the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill would give ministers the power to do things such as scrap jury trials.
For the Tories Ken Clarke said it could "sweep away parliamentary procedure and debate on an astonishing scale".
But minister Jim Murphy insisted the bill would have safeguards built in.
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme he is thinking of giving House of Commons committees a legal veto over any proposals.
'Astonishing powers'
The bill is intended to allow ministers to axe uncontroversial "red tape" without the time-consuming need for full parliamentary scrutiny.
Mr Clarke, chairman of the Conservatives' democracy task force, said legislation was needed to tackle red tape but said there needed to be explicit safeguards, not just verbal promises from ministers.
Law experts at Cambridge University have also voiced concern about the potential impact of the bill.
The Cambridge University academics, headed by Professor John Spencer QC, warned in a letter to The Times newspaper: "If passed, the government could rewrite almost any act and, in some cases, enact new laws that at present only Parliament can make."
In its current form, the planned new law could allow the government to curtail or abolish jury trial, place people under house arrest, rewrite immigration laws or sack judges, they said.
Competitive edge
Mr Murphy told Today that previous legislation to streamline the burden of regulation had not worked.
The government was taking action to ensure the UK remained competitive, he said.
"I have given assurances that there are more safeguards on the face of this bill than before, that we will have statutory consultation, we will not do anything that is highly controversial and the relevant select committees of the House of Commons will have a veto on every single proposal," he said.
Mr Murphy said he would look at making the veto plan part of the legislation.

HP Financial SErvices Launches 'Jumpstart Success' Program
HP announced a new financing program enabling companies to obtain the HP solutions they need now while taking advantage of low lease rates or deferring all payments until January 2005 at no additional cost.
Available through HP Financial Services, the financing arm of HP, the "Jumpstart Success" offer applies to all HP products and professional services – including PCs, servers, storage devices and network and systems management software.
With this special offer, HP helps customers in North America get a jumpstart on their competitors. Rather than delaying purchases until next year's information technology (IT) budget, customers are able to acquire the HP products and services they need now to synchronize business processes and IT to capitalize on change. The program also allows customers to better manage their cash flow and maintain cash reserves.
"HP's Jumpstart Success program is a powerful enabler for those companies that seek to become more agile enterprises not only technologically but also financially," said Irv Rothman, president and chief executive officer, HP Financial Services. "Our innovative IT leasing and financing options provide companies a quick and cost-effective way to adapt and upgrade to the latest information technology needed to achieve a competitive edge."

Fowler Homes
The Fowler Home neighborhood, located south of downtown Memphis, was first developed in 1959. As part of a revitalization effort for the Fowler Homes neighborhood, Clark/Dixon developed a master plan. The report analyzed the current and anticipated market conditions and recommended a development concept for the area. As a result, 25 single-family homes were designed as part of the plan.

Completed: Fall 2005
Cost: $4,000,000

Quick trade update on the ETF convergence that I described. It would have worked. The long GDX opened at $49.39, or a 2.56% drop. The short GDXJ opened at $26.25, or a 3.28% drop. In other words, as suggested, the long did better than the short. This was still true at 9:45 which was the last time I looked at it. Obviously, one needs to have pretty low transaction costs (this is 2 round-trips) and exceptional execution to win at this. One might also recommend doing it only with other people's money.
Another risk factor that came to mind about this trade is that since I do not know the exact composition of either ETF, the juniors might be more heavily weighted towards Canadian companies, which introduces a cross-currency dynamic.
On to the personality brands discussion.
One, I stated that I think the famous golf brand that has been in the news is safe. I retract this statement as more news of the less-flattering variety have emerged over the weekend. This has become the perfect illustration of one of my favorite theories in finance, the cockroach theory. There is always more than one (problem).
Two, this would make an excellent business school case. There are a lot of multi-disciplinary tracks that our "future business leaders" can discuss smugly. Marketing/branding is one. Then there is PR, media and entertainment angle: what kind of a story can sell more copies? The legal aspect: prenup with earn-outs, contracts with pay-outs, high-powered fixers.
I am just surprised that such prominent ambulance chasers like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are not all over this, like they were around that white-gloved entertainer's funeral. The latter activist would be perfect to "define down deviance": he is quoted as telling the kids of the dead entertainer "wasn't nothing strange about your daddy." May be the brand tried to be post-racial just like the current presidential brand.
There is just too much money bet on this horse to let things be.
Three, let's look at payouts for the women.
The golfer is the productive asset here, and the re-distribution scheme is very logical. Basically, the key to getting a higher payout is a combination of exclusivity and access ("access" overlapping with being a threat by means of that access).
Highest payout: the wife. Legally exclusive relationship, full access to the asset; on top, she had access to the pro-circuit as hired help that got lucky. Payout: she and her kids are set for life
The payouts for the rest of the women in the story are also based on exclusivity and access. The story each one of them can tell is likely the same story, so being first REALLY mattered. It is rumored that the NYC woman got a huge sum, while the 1st cocktail waitress got $100k from the media, and now it sounds like the Perkins waitress gave her story for free. How much value is there to each subsequent story? Not the $1 mm the first one allegedly got, unless there is something even more scandalous.
So, ranking the payouts, Scandinavian model-wife>> NYC party girl >> Vegas cocktail waitress >> local Perkins waitress. It is almost too logical as it follows the likely lifetime earnings potential of each.
Perkins, for the benefit of the non-US readers, is a low-to-mid priced family restaurant chain in the US.
Four, the sponsors in this case were either incompetent, complicit or a combination of both. There should be brand managers fired over this. Where is the due diligence?
This reminds me of lobotomized pensions managers blindly accepting the AAA stamp on whatever they were buying. Everyone is doing it so we're really happy were able to get our hands on some of these nice, safe securities.
Here the sponsors got played a little bit too, in my view. Since the brand can only be linked to one company in most categories (i.e. apparel and equipment, autos, credit card), there is a sense of competition and urgency between the sponsors, who then went on to pour millions of dollars into brand building.
The biggest fallout should be with Nike. They really built their golfing business out of nowhere on the strength of this brand, much like they built the basketball business on Jordan and the soccer business on Brazil. GM, AmEx, TagHeuer and Accenture should not hurt too bad. The golf brand was not essential to them in my view.
Since Nike has the most to lose, chances are they will try to stick with their investment as much as possible. There is also the danger that the sponsors exit en masse. A bit of game theory, if one blinks, all stand to lose. Surely interesting to watch on the side.
Five, there is quite a bit of wisdom passed on from Ben Franklin, some of it R-rated. In this letter, he spells out some battle-tested advice on the choice of a mistress, if one absolutely must have one. Discretion is high on the list of qualities he lists, and for a good reason.
The golf brand should have approached other brands who have a lot to lose if the affair becomes public: top-brand athletes like Maria Sharapova, Gabrielle Reese or Mia Hamm would have been perfect, as it seems that the golf brand was not seeking emotional connections.
Six, and more philosophical. This whole story is one of false idol worship. So, to note that man-made idols are nothing new, I leave you with Percy Shelley's sonnet Ozymandias which describes even the physical fallibility of self-described, alleged and even actual "greatest's."
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Humans Cause Global Warming
|Voting Style:
|Point System:
|7 Point
|4 years ago
|Post Voting Period
|10,137 times
|Debate No:
R2 beginning arguments no refutation.
R3 refutations and arguments.
R4 same as R3
R5 rebuttals only points and refutations allowed that you have already made. I cannot stress that enough.
I believe the sun is an ever changing celestial body. I do not think that humans can have a big enough impact to change the climate. If the temperature is changing it is the sun.
I will argue human emissions are causing current climate change.
I believe global warming is not real and any temperature change is caused by the sun. I have three main points to back my argument.
1. People believe in global warming because political figures do
2. The earth is cooling
3. "Global Warming" hurts jobs
1. My sources say that the majority of scientists studying climate change will say that global warming is not true. About 17,000 scientists agree with the fact that it is not true. How can we possibly agree with something that is not proven by fact? The reason people believe that global warming is true is because major political figures believe it and say it is true. Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Al Gore, and many others are examples of my point. The fact is people believe this because people they trust believe, not because of fact.
2. In the last ten years the earth has gone from warming to cooling. The global temperatures are expected to decline for the next two decades. This does not need very much arguing because it is backed by pure fact.
3. If we continue to believe global warming as a society, we will lose millions of jobs and be less energy efficient. If we cannot use oil, cannot use coal, and cannot use nuclear power, how do you expect any country to be energy efficient? You can't. Without these ways of producing energy, America will lose jobs and we will be forced to find new methods of energy which will cost billions.
I believe I have proved my points and I await pro's case.
I would like to thank my opponent's response.
1. First, consensus is irrelevant to science. Galileo opposed consensus, Einstein opposed consensus. As Einstein noted, it only took one person, one paper, to disprove his theory. Further, getting a mere list actually does not represent the opinion of climate scientists. Other scientists are irrelevant (except geologists and meteorologists). The majority of debate only happens in political literature, not scientific literature. There is actually a consensus in favor of global warming. No major scientific organization opposes man-made global warming. 97% of climate scientists say global warming is man-made. Although this point is mainly irrelevant, the opposite of my opponents argument is true [1].
2. Long term trends cannot be decided in 15 years. Richard Muller, former skeptic, website notes, "Some people draw a line segment covering the period 1998 to 2010 and argue that we confirm no temperature change in that period. However, if you did that same exercise back in 1995, and drew a horizontal line through the data for 1980 to 1995, you might have falsely concluded that global warming had stopped back then. This exercise simply shows that the decadal fluctuations are too large to allow us to make decisive conclusions about long term trends based on close examination of periods as short as 13 to 15 years."[2] Many temperature datasets do not include the Arctic where it has been warming. Studies accounting for many factors, such as the 1998 El Nino, and others, conclude the earth is still warming at the same rate it was in the 1990s [3].
3. Stopping global warming and its effects on the economy are irrelevant to what causes the warmth. This is totally irrelevant in this debate.
1. Many studies indicate the overall human impact on global warming is far greater than the natural impact, interestingly many natural impacts are having a cooling effect on the warming. Teet et al. 2000 finds human activity caused over 100% of the warming from 1940 – 1997. How do you get 100%? Natural forcing's causing a cooling effect, meaning we reversed those factors and caused warming. Meehl et al. 2004 finds humans caused 80% of the warming in the last century. Stone et al. 2007 found we caused almost 100% of the warming in the last 60 years. In a second paper, he noted humans caused 50% of the warming, the other half displaced by areosols, and the sun and volcanoes were responsible for 13 and 37% of the warming. Lean and Rind 2008 finds humans have caused 80% of the modern warming. Sott et al. used the same approach of Lean and Rind, but finds humans have caused 86% of the global warming. Huber and Knutti 2011 finds humans have caused 75-100% of the modern global warming. Foster and Rhmstorf 2011 finds that humans have caused 100% of the warming in the last 60 years. Gillet et al. 2012 finds we caused over 100% of the modern warming, as it had to overstep cooling effects and cause warming, making it over 100% [4].
2. The sun, what my opponent argues causes global warming, is not the cause of modern warming. Sun Spots, overall, have no trend proving they likely do not cause the modern warming phase. The current sun spot number is like it was in 1913, when it was very cold, unlike this year, again showing the sun- not a candidate for modern warming [5].
3. Scientific bodies have ruled out natural factors, man-made theory is the only possible thing left.
Humans are the cause of global warming.

1. You just countered your own argument. You said that the number of scientists does not matter yet you argue that because more scientists agree with global warming it is true. In fact more scientists actually agree with me, your source is not reliable. You also dodged the majority of my argument. My point was people believe what political figures tell them to. My argument was not pure fact like yours.....
2. Just because I said it is PREDICTED that the earth would continue cooling does not mean that was my entire argument. Yes I did say that, but people that believe in global warming say the earth will continue getting "warmer" It is called argument anticipation. My main argument was that the earth is getting colder by temperature change that we have observed and experienced. You dodged most of my argument because you cannot argue with fact.
3. If we continue to believe in global warming then we will lose jobs. I think that the effects of the belief would go with the debate so I would say you dodged this argument as well.
To counter your case I will say that I can get a bunch of sources to back my opinion too but that does not make a case, or a debate. You should get some actual arguments instead of plain sources because that is not what debating is. You use sources to back your arguments not the other way around.
As my main points were either halfway refuted or ignored completely, I will not be providing new points and I ask voters to give arguments to me for a poor case on pro.
1. My opponent claims I have "contradicted" myself. This is untrue. I argued consensus was irrelevant, however according to my opponents reasoning he loses the point because the majority of climate specialists and scientific organizations support my position. If I said consensus is always wrong, my point would be defeated. However disproving your point then arguing its irrelevancy isn't really a contradiction. It's merely extra information. Pointing out that 1) you are wrong and b) the point is irrelevant anyway weakens your point even further. My opponent then claims "more scientists" agree with him. Problem with numbers much? A list of names and a poll are two different things. Take the whitehouse petition. One petition, which has 32,000 signatures, argues Senator Feinstein should be impeached... because she supports an assault weapons ban [1]. However, 58% of the public supports such a ban [2]. A list of scientists and a massive scientific survey are different things. Surveys are more accurate as they include all groups of the population they are polling, lists merely show one opinion (not the other, one sided analysis) making it unreliable. And again, as stated, the vast majority of the signers are not specialists in climate, making the list irrelevant. My data stands on the issue showing a vast consensus from climate experts. Whether my argument, consensus is irrelevant, or my opponents, its the be all and end all, I win this point as I have shown consensus on my side (or) the irrelevancy of the point.
2. Strawman by my opponent. I did not refute his predictions, I merely pointed out the data the predictions are based on is bogus. The predictions are based on the claims of current cooling. I rebutted in two ways: First, I noted a small trend out of a longterm trend is irrelevant showing the same could have been done in earlier decades however the long term trend is up. Secondly, I noted he world isn't cooling at all, nor is it flat-lining. I showed the rate of warming is the same as in earlier decades (1990s, when the warming was exceptional). My opponents argument:
"In the last ten years the earth has gone from warming to cooling. The global temperatures are expected to decline for the next two decades. This does not need very much arguing because it is backed by pure fact."
I did not jump the gun on anything. I noted the first part of this, the earth is cooling currently, was false. That is based on the 1998 el Nino artificially changing the trend, and when this is accounted for the earth is still warming. If the first part is wrong, the following assumptions have no evidence behind them. Therefore, my opponent has decided to dodge my rebuttal instead to strawman the point: claim I only argued predictions. will reiterate my point: "Studies accounting for many factors, such as the 1998 El Nino, and others, conclude the earth is still warming at the same rate it was in the 1990s." I showed it is still currently warming, I did not focus on any prediction whatsoever. My opponent claims I am dodging the point, which is false, and mostly is a cop-out argument. Anyone who cared to read round two can see that this is false.
3. I didn't dodge anything, this is a pure red herring. I didn't think I would have to use semantics for an obvious point. Lets do this like a first grade teacher so we can all get this.
Class, what is the resolution?
Humans cause Global warming Mr. Adams.
Good. Does the economics of preventing global warming relate to the cause of global warming.
The economics of preventing global warming is irrelevant to what causes it. Let's use a probably poor analogy but its all I can think of: what causes the battery on my laptop to die? Usage of the device. To fix it, I must charge it. But wait, its bad to charge it because I have to walk!!! (I am not saying you are wrong by making a bad analogy on the costs of charging, by the way). But does the cost of charging it relate to what is causing it? No, not at all. What is causing the problem is an independent variable to the costs of fixing the problem. Many people support the global warming theory because the facts support it, but oppose mitigation due to its effects on the economy. The fix is irrelevant to the cause, and if you read the resolution the cause is what the debate is about. The point is irrelevant. I am not dodging anything, you are landing an argument where its easier for you to argue but is irrelevant to give the illusion you have one (one) of the points made in the debate. Its a red herring.
1. My opponent merely argues I have source spammed. Although I usually do, this isn't really source spam. I gave data points and observations from multiple studies showing humans are the cause of global warming. When you present data, is is courteous to cite the source. Source spam would be this.
"Global warming is natural"
No, its not. Link times 100
I cited the data and the observations in the study. If my opponent wants, I can provide the methodology next round or in a PM so he can ridicule the results. Presenting a study, its results, and, if needed, a short explanation is not source spam. The argument is simple:
1. We emit greenhouse gases (we agree upon this).
2. Natural factors likely don't cause the current warming (we disagree here).
3. Man-made factors explain the modern warming (we disagree here).
4. Therefore, warming is man-made (obviously we disagree on the conclusion).
For 2, I showed the sun had no correlation with temperature since the 1980's and said ". Sun Spots, overall, have no trend proving they likely do not cause the modern warming phase. The current sun spot number is like it was in 1913, when it was very cold, unlike this year, again showing the sun- not a candidate for modern warming"
Yeah, providing data and a lack correlation is such a weak argument...
For three, I provided data points based on multiple regression analysis which happens to be done by many academic studies showing man likely has caused the modern warming.
My opponent merely drops my case with no ounce of rebuttal, it's like he is not even trying. I could expand on my argument, with more data and observations. Actually I will, let's hope this isn't spamming.
My argument was he majority of data supports my position. I provided data. Instead of refuting it, my opponent ignores it with the cop-out argument of source spam. I showed co2 caused the current warm phase. Let's take another route.
CO2 causes the current warming, as shown by many points of evidence. CO2 causes warming, as many measurements have shown. CO2 is a greenhouse gas. When more CO2 and methane are added to containers, the amount of outgoing radiation decreases, providing evidence of the CO2 warming effect. The amount of outgoing radiation is falling as temperatures increase, indicating a strong correlation between CO2 and temperature. These data points have been shown by surface and satellite temperature datasets. CO2 has caused the earths energy imbalance causing the modern warm period of man made origin [3]. I am low on room, so that is all I can say. Data backing up my assertions can be found here. And last round, but thats somehow spam.
Am I really dodging arguments? Are my points of data weak enough to be dismissed because I have sources? Am I dropping points that are irrelevant anyway? Am I missing something on the earth is cooling point by demonstrating it is in fact not cooling, and even if it is that is irrelevant? I will let the voters decide. But really, my case has not beaten defeated and my opponents lack of showing should be noted by the voters.
References are here:
Read this. It admits warming, shows paleo climatology, but still is Skeotical of the causes.
We're skeptics because our minds change when evidence changes. The Paleoclimate record and modern warming are pretty clear.

Going Mobile
Illustration by Bob Aul Ryan the intern came over to the Clockwork desk on March 14 and said, "Hey, Clockwork, quit licking that and take a look at what I just came across." He proceeded to whip out something from the Web page of Assemblyman Robert Pacheco (R-Riverside). You might recall that Pacheco— not to be confused with that Japanese pinball game of nearly the same name—was the Assembly Republican leader for about two minutes before the party leadership realized they'd put a Hispanic in a high-level position. Our own Scott "Not a Hispanic" Baugh (R-Huntington Beach) then slithered into the post. What caught Ryan the intern's fancy was Pacheco's proposed Assembly Bill 1085: Drug-Free Mobile Home Parks. Now that we've created zones around schools and playgrounds to keep our kids off the drugs, it seems at first look as if Pacheco wants to protect our seniors from the drugs doctors don't shoot into the old farts to artificially preserve them long enough to completely bankrupt our Social Security system. But on closer reading, Pacheco's bill doesn't mention seniors at all. The legislation, sponsored by Golden State Mobilehomes Association, would tack a year onto the sentence of anyone convicted of selling minors heroin, coke, crack, LSD or PCP at trailer parks, including playgrounds, youth centers, clubhouses and video arcades. Heroin? Coke? Crack? LSD? PCP? Playgrounds? Youth centers? Clubhouses? Video arcades? Damn, no wonder Grandma Clockwork won't return our calls.
KNOTT'S SCARY FARM What's the deal with Knott's Berry Farm and roller coasters? The latest problem is the WindJammer, which was shut down—presumably for good—because the damn thing essentially won't jam in the wind. Knott's has filed a $6.2 million lawsuit against TOGO International because of maintenance problems, and the Buena Park theme park wants the Japanese coaster manufacturer to take the wooden monstrosity away, The Orange County Register reported on March 15. The suit reportedly says the ride has closed repeatedly due to design flaws that keep WindJammer cars from operating in winds of 25 mph or more, but it sometimes grinds to a halt in breezes as gentle as 3 mph. Among those who will likely be sad to see WindJammer go are area chiropractors, since riders often complained about the painful way the ride jerked them around. Of course, neck and back pain's a picnic compared to getting whopped upside the head with a falling board. Last summer, a piece of wood jarred loose from Knott's Berry Farm's GhostRider and struck five riders, including a tourist who was hospitalized overnight with cuts to his head. Union workers had expressed fears about GhostRider's workmanship when nonunion laborers put the thing up in spring 1998. Just try to get us out of Camp Snoopy now.
SINGING IN THE RAIN A Clockwork Orange—the 1971 Stanley Kubrick film adapted from the Anthony Burgess futuristic novel that was amazingly adapted from this column even though this column didn't start until 25 years after the film was released—returned to British cinemas on March 17. Kubrick had effectively banned his most controversial film from playing in his adopted home more than a quarter-century ago amid death threats and Brit-government criticism that the film, which is about a gang of thugs indulging in a rape and murder spree they call "ultraviolence," glamorized violence. (What the . . .? Were they looking at the same movie we saw?) Contrary to what you may have heard, Kubrick did not vow that Clockwork would only play in Britain over his dead body, which is why it's screening there now (he died last year). He'd actually decided before going to the Great Cutting Room in the Sky that the time was right to rerelease what he considered his most complete film. This Clockwork—the one you're reading—would also like to deny the ugly rumor that we appeared in the movie as the giant impaling weenie. That was our little brother.

App soon on routes, seats and timing of buses in Delhi
New Delhi: People travelling in the capital will soon get the exact schedule, location and seat availability of DTC buses and details required to hire autorickshaws for last-mile connectivity through a cellphone app.
The app is part of an initiative by the Aam Aadmi Party government to streamline the public transport sector that includes integration of buses, Metro and autorickshaw services.
To ensure hassle-free travel, the government also plans to introduce a common card which would be used in the Metro service, buses and autorickshaws. The app is currently being tested and would be launched soon, according to deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia.
"Commuters using autos will also be able to use the government's application on the line of private taxi aggregators and can fetch location and mobile details of drivers," he said.
Around 40 lakh commuters travel by around 6,000 buses operated by the Delhi Transport Corporation and Sisodia said his government was planning a series of steps to improve the bus service.
"For making the city congestion and pollution-free, we need a better public transport system," Sisodia said.
He said the government had decided to buy 10,000 buses and some of them would be procured through public-private partnership.
The AAP government has set aside Rs 5,085 crore, an increase of 23% over last year, in the budget for the transport sector and Sisodia said the main focus would be to improve public transport to discourage people from using private vehicles.

TO EVERYONE-I love you all and no one did anything wrong! I really do love you! And if anybody ever did say anything, my mouth is huge and I would say something back!
I'm just bored with what I'm writing and I don't feel as if I have much to say. Or anything of importance, which makes writing feel like a job when I have to come up with something.
I was going to save this for a surprise but since I seem to be upsetting loved ones, I'll spill the beans. No I am not pregnant, thank the Lord. But I did finish another book. I'm going another direction from the last one and need some time to work on it.
SO there you have it. I'll be around and I'll be at your blog to visit all of you. You will be so sick of me that you will be saying, "Get a life!"

Read from October 16 to 18, 2011
Good world-building, cool magic and I enjoyed the romantic subplot, BUT overall I was disappointed in this book. The plot was not nearly as strong as the books in the Twelve Houses series.

Lot 1770: Remington Arms Inc - 12b-Rifle

|The included Remington factory letter from 1953 states that the factory records show that this rifle (serial number 129909) was sold to Wild West exhibition marksman Frank E. Butler on February 28, 1912. Touring the country with his shooting act, Butler was performing in Cincinnati, Ohio, when he met his future wife. Butler placed a $100 bet with Cincinnati hotel owner Jack Frost that Butler could beat any local shooter. Frost arranged a shooting match between Butler and a 15 year old Annie Oakley (born Phoebe Ann Mosey). Butler lost the bet when he missed his 25th shot. The two sharpshooters began a courtship and soon married. In 1882, after Oakley stood in for Butler's sick partner, the couple created their own shooting act and from 1885 to 1901 were a star fixture on Buffalo Bill's Wild West. Oakley became the star attraction, earning more money and international fame than most of the Buffalo Bill performers, and Butler handled the business end of the venture. Outside the partnership, Butler worked as a UMC representative and Remington Arms Co. salesman. Oakley continued to perform after leaving Buffalo Bill's Wild West. She retired from show business in 1913. In her own right, Oakley created the image of the cowgirl and proved without a doubt that when given the opportunity women are as capable as men. The master markswoman could hit the thin edge of a playing card and shoot distant targets while looking into a mirror. She entertained European royalty such as Queen Victoria and even shot a cigarette out of Kaiser Wilhelm II's hand. In another included Remington factory letter from 1993, factory historian J.D. Heath provides more details about the gun's F-grade engraving and concludes that the non-matching serial numbers on the receiver (129999) and tang (129909) was a factory error, likely made by the engraver. In a notarized letter written by Jerald Biddle, the ownership history of this rifle is presented. According to Biddle, Oakley gave the rifle to James Robinson, a newspaper reporter in Dayton and assistant manager of the Amateur Trapshooting Association (ATA). (Note that an included January 14, 1973, newspaper article from the Dayton Daily News corroborates the story.) The rifle was lost in a 1920s poker game to a Lou Brandt who was an ATA member. After Brandt died circa 1953, the rifle was "passed on to Ross Biddle," a close friend of Brandt, a charter member of the ATA and grandfather to Jerald Biddle. Jerald inherited the rifle after Ross died. The top barrel flat on this rifle is marked "MODEL 12-B" followed by the two-line address/patent dates ahead of the rear sight and "22 SHORT" is marked on the upper left barrel flat at the breech. The barrel is equipped with a beach combination front sight and a two leaf folding rear sight. A folding peep sight is mounted on the tang. The receiver has a floral scroll engraving with game scenes on the sides. The panel scene engraving on the left side features a pair of rabbits and the panel scene engraving on the right side features a squirrel in a tree. The initials "RB" are lightly hand inscribed on the left and right sides of the receiver, bottom of the receiver at the rear and on the inside of the receiver. The initials are likely that of Ross Biddle. The rifle is mounted on a highly figured checkered forearm and smooth straight grip stock fitted with a hard rubber serrated factory butt plate.
|Fine. The rifle retains 50% original blue finish with the balance thinning to a gray. The wood is also fine with some scattered minor handling marks. The forearm checkering is crisp. Mechanically excellent. A historic and fantastic example of a factory engraved Remington Model 12-B Gallery Rifle documented to an internationally renowned shooting exhibition couple worthy of any Wild West museum!

Funeral Homes Are Making This One Social Media Mistake and It's Costing Hundreds of Dollars
Some funeral companies are spending upwards of $50 per day to acquire Facebook Page likes – what they don't know is a majority of these are fake and they are wasting hundreds of dollars.
Below we discuss how to avoid paying for fake Facebook followers and how to acquire real targeted followers that will engage.
WARNING: Do not click the 'Promote Page' button. Below is a video that discusses the revenue Facebook is generating from fake likes.
Lately, social media communities have been going back and fourth amongst themselves discussing the below video about Facebook Likes.
To clarify the problem this YouTuber has, it isn't with the targeted ads but the "Get More Likes"/ "Promote" option. That's the one that looks like this –>
His argument being that due to the overwhelming number of fake accounts and "Click Farms" that it's more likely the Promote feature will be catching these accounts for Likes rather than genuine fans. What makes this worse is that engagement can potentially go down because having so many fake Likes can harm your News Feed rankings (previously Edgeranking).
Very quickly a counter-argument appeared after the video was released. Jon Loomer, a social media professional pointed out that the video's views and statistics could be biased because the film maker purposefully advertised to countries that are a known problem for Click Farms. His view was that if you used Facebook advertising tools correctly then you could benefit enormously.
So who do we agree with on this? Well, both actually. It has to be argued that Facebook is receiving revenue through the "Promote" button and some unfortunate people are only getting fake Likes for their money. On the other hand there are ways to avoid this.
Here's what our very own CEO Ryan Thogmartin had to say on the topic:
"The only way to increase likes on a rapid scale is through Facebook ads – the clients who have given us ads budgets are seeing a huge increase in reach and engagement. The problem isn't Facebook ads – the problem is the 'Promote a Page' option that gives you a guaranteed number of likes per dollar spend. "
All that is required to use Facebook advertising successfully is to do your research. Spend the time learning this stuff and keep up-to-date on the latest Facebook changes. And what do you do when you just don't have the time or the knowledge for that? Hire someone who can. Your money is better spent bringing in an expert than throwing it down a drain, bringing in fake Likes.

Choose Between Two Options
- $13 for one dozen Mrs. Field's cookies in a gift tin ($24.99 value)
- $27 for one 16-inch customizable Mrs. Field's cookie cake ($38.99 value)
Mrs. Fields
When Debbi Fields opened the first Mrs. Fields in 1977, it wasn't all sunshine and cookies. Between her lack of business experience and the unorthodox business model—selling only cookies—not many people believed in her. More than 30 years and a global franchise later, it's safe to say the doubters are eating their words, at least when they're not busy stuffing their faces with one of Debbi's signature semisweet chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin and walnut cookies.
The wild popularity of Mrs. Fields's cookies can be attributed to the richness of their basic ingredients: real butter, whole eggs, and special blends of chocolate. Classic flavors include chewy fudge, peanut butter, and white chocolate macadamia, and seasonal flavors complement the lineup throughout the year. Select varieties can also be made into cookie cakes of various sizes and shapes that add a delicious twist to any celebration or milk-truck spill.

Ratings for Dr. Catherine Bulanda
I was referred to Dr Bulanda from my family Doctor for my bunion issues. After meeting Dr Bulanda for my first consult, she left me feeling very comfortable, knowledgeable, and confident about bunion surgery. I'm currently 1 month post op, still recovering so I can't give a full report on recovery, however, I can say it's been a fantastic experience this far. I have friends and family member that have had the same surgery. I came into this whole experience biased with the notion it's awful, painful surgery that leaves you worse off. Well, I'm glad I didn't let those experiences stop me for proceeding with my own surgery. I have had very little pain, at least relative to what others made me anticipate. Dr Bulanda take real care and concern with the individuals issues and fixes that. She's incredibly thorough and explains everything in normal lingo to easily understand what was done. Looking forward for the full recovery on my foot and getting my other one done!
I was lucky enough to get to see Dr. Bulanda for a very hurtful wart on my toe. I had been going to another podiatrist for 3 months. He kept applying a burning compound and telling me to come back the following month. Dr. Bulanda told me that she could give me a prescription for the same compound and I could do myself. I live out in the country and every trip to Calgary for this silly wart took 3 hours. I was so grateful. She also explained to me where I could have contracted the virus (warts, I gather, are very contagious) and how to avoid the problem in the future. One of the possible sources is pedicures but after she saw my feet, she commented that I probably hadn't had one and asked me if I would like her to trim my nails. How thoughtful and kind. For all her care, concern and time, I was billed $ 20.00. (AHS does not pay for many podiatrists procedures). Dr. Bulanda epitomizes my understanding of what doctor's used to be. I keep recommending her to anyone who is lucky enough to get an appointment.
I have just had my second bunion surgery with Dr. Bulanda and I am so pleased with the results. I drove from Red Deer and at first I questioned my sanity but since then I have seen a couple of doctors on unrelated issues, both of which noticed the little scar and said 'that's a fine job you got there." I had an issue with a toenail so I went to a foot doctor here in Red Deer. She was ecstatic when she saw my foot. She said "I see hundreds of these bunion surgeries a year and this is the best job I have ever seen." Wow. I was so happy I made the extra trip to Calgary and to Dr. Bulanda. It was well worth the effort.
I've seen Dr. Bulanda on multiple occasions and my sons have gotten orthotics via her clinic also. We have always been treated exceptionally well by all the staff and truly appreciate their help with our foot issues. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Bulanda to friends with foot issues.
i recently saw Dr. Bulanda for a follow up appointment for an ingrown toe nail and was 20 mins late and the lady at the desk asked Dr. Bulanda if she could still see me, i was told they could fit me into the schedule if i cared to wait. After reading the comment below i feel sure this was clearly a situation that the person could not be fit back into the Dr. schedule and was not pleased. Never has anyone been rude in this clinic they clearly strive for efficiency and it shows. i found my all around experience to be very positive.
Just had a second surgery with Dr Bulanda. She did a bunion last year and now a neuroma on my other foot. She is professional, thorough and has the best pleasant manner. Her office staff are efficient and I find have great senses of humour. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Bulanda to anyone for foot issues. I have had less pleasant experiences with other podiatrists and am happy a friend told me about her. When I read the prior post with the glowing comments, yet giving scores of "1" I am wondering whether the poster thought 1 was the best score. I think 5 is. I hope - because that's my intent.
I am a long term patient of Dr Bulanda and I recently had the opportunity to talk with her executive assistant and ask her how she does it! Keep the office running so efficiently never have I had to wait they run on time because the schedule allows the dr to have the time and flexibility to provide nothing but exceptional care. I re I eve a courtesy call for every appointment and if I cannot make an appointment an other one is made for me with the opportunity for a cancellation if one comes available. The staff is amazing they have been always very kind and helpful. In a nut shell she told me she keeps a log of everyone she calls and the ones who do not return the calls either new patient or established , why they cancel and when a new appointment is made. I agree with the last comment we cannot read between the lines but in my opinion they are a great group of hard working thorough ladies.
I have had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Bulanda and her staff for over a year now thanks to my mother in laws recommendation. I have always had top notch care before my bunion surgery and now after during recovery. One thing that I have always appreciated is the impeccable attention to timing appointments, I have never had to wait more than a couple of minutes to see the doctor ever, and this was really important to my husband when I was unable to drive and he had to get to work after taking me to my appointment. I also really appreciate the candor of the staff and Dr. Bulanda, we are all to busy to try and read between the lines and with this clinic you will not have to do that.
Never actually got to see the doctor . Seems it was fine for them not to call me when the doctor was off sick and have me turn up to be told that, But after waiting another 4 months for an appointment , which seemed like a real imposition on the receptionist to arrange , I was caught up in an RTA and a few minutes late. The Dictator behind the desk had the attitude of 'how dare you be late' and refused to let me see the Doctor who was 'way too busy' to see me now. She did say she would arrange another appointment , but here we are 6 months later and I have never heard back. The Doctor might be the best foot doctor in the world , but she has no idea how to pick staff that have any idea of what customer service looks like.
From my initial appointment to my surgical date and the follow up care I had nothing but the best from Dr Bulanda and her staff. Thank you, I am finally pain free - even training for a half marathon in the near future!

Information about Central Oregon Community College staff salary scales, and registering for discussion sections. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? In order to earn a higher salary, you may complete an accredited business degree program, or develop additional office experience. Concentrating on Central Oregon Community College staff salary scales, for example, you may gain an advantage in corporate recruiting being done on-campus. Check with the workforce development department for course registration deadlines, and career training program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Central Oregon Community College.
As a general rule, questions about salary and benefits are best left until a job offer has been made. If you receive an offer on the spot but are not ready to accept, simply thank the company representative for their decision, and request a few days to think over their offer. Since they have indicated that they value you as a job candidate, you may be able to negotiate a better salary simply by waiting. Ask for written confirmation of the job offer, and tell the firm when you will make a decision.
Gather as much factual information as you can from other employees, before deciding on what salary request you want to make. Always begin by expressing genuine interest in the position and the organization, and offering to compromise on other areas, such as longer hours and travel. Be prepared to defend your reasons for wanting to improve their offer with meaningful, work-related benefits to the employer. Requesting a salary increase just because you are a fast learner, or have a high GPA, aren't justifiable reasons alone. You need to have past work experience or internships that have demonstrated professional skills. Beyond major requirements within the workforce development department, you may consider Elmhurst College test making as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

5 days ago by Bristol Historical SocietyJoin us this Thursday @ 7pm! While the small town of Bristol, Connecticut was quiet in the wee hours of April 20, 1918, the most shocking time in its military history was beginning 3,600 miles away in the ruined town of Seicheprey, France. As Bristol slept, its men who were part of the Yankee Division's 102nd Infantry were deafened by a massive, unrelenting German bombardment. These green troops were about to make history by participating in the first significant engagement fought by the American Expeditionary Forces in World War I. What followed was vicious hand to hand fighting with 3,200 attacking German storm troopers in the trenches, in the woods, in the village. When the fighting ceased, 18 Bristol men from Company D were wounded, almost two dozen were captured, and a total of 8 Bristol men died, all within just 24 hours.5 days ago Bristol Historical Society
