A margin of nine percentage points is a "slight lead"? Come on, AP. Live a little!
A new poll shows Republican Pat Toomey slightly ahead of Democrat Joe Sestak in their U.S. Senate race.
The Franklin & Marshall College poll shows Toomey with the support of 40 percent of likely voters to Sestak's 31 percent. About a quarter remain undecided with about 9 weeks left until the November 2 general election. Thursday's poll also shows Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Corbett leading his Democratic counterpart. The state attorney general has an 11-point lead over Allegheny County executive Dan Onorato with 31 percent of likely voters undecided. The poll of 577 Pennsylvanians was conducted the week ending Monday. The sampling error margin is plus or minus 5.4 percentage points.

This is why November 2 is . . . TOOMSDAY!
Oh, I'm sure you're tired of the Toomey/Toom/Doom puns, but right now that's about all that's left that's not predictable about this race. This is the third straight poll putting Toomey up by 8 or more. Sestak's giving off a Creigh Deeds-y vibe. This race is a few more lopsided polls from turning into Arkansas.
Speaking of Arkansas, yesterday the NRSC distributed a release slamming Blanche Lincoln on taxes, and I thought, "Isn't there some Little League mercy rule she can invoke?" She's an incumbent who's on pace to lose by about 30. Come on, guys, leave her with a little dignity.
UPDATE: I think that this may very well be the coolest t-shirt in the history of political campaigns:

Blanche Lincoln Might Want to Examine Post-Senate Career Options
In Arkansas, Republican John Boozman leads the incumbent Democrat, Sen. Blanche Lincoln, 57 percent to 32 percent.
The more surprising result is in the governor's race, where 49.5 percent of respondents said they would vote for Mike Beebe, the incumbent Democrat, and 40.5 percent said they would vote for Republican Jim Keet.
But don't get too excited about Keet's chances: "Beebe's massive fundraising advantage — $2.7 million to Keet's $59,000 as of June 30 — is going to quickly put more distance between the two candidates unless other circumstances surface."

Money Well Spent
My old colleague Greg Giroux of Congressional Quarterly notes the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spent $1.2 million to help out Arlen Specter and $193,000 to help out Cal Cunningham, who lost the North Carolina primary. They also spent $242,000 to help Blanche Lincoln, who won her primary.

Blanche Looks Cooked
In Arkansas, Republican John Boozman is desperately clinging to a 29-percentage-point lead over Democrat Blanche Lincoln. Fresh off her surprise primary win, the two-term incumbent Lincoln has already rocketed to the support of nearly one-third of the state's voters.
Blanche Lincoln: Forget Everything I Said in My Primary Ads
Wow. As we watch the rapid rotation of Arkansas senator Blanche Lincoln as she pivots from her primary stances to her general-election stances, take a moment to realize that if could harness the energy of that powerful, fast spin like a watermill, we could easily achieve national energy independence:
Arkansas Sen. Blanche Lincoln is denying she was the deciding vote on health care reform, a month after staking that claim during her battle for the Democratic primary. Lincoln told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in a story published Thursday that she wasn't the deciding vote for the overhaul that President Barack Obama signed into law. Lincoln, however, ran a television ad during her primary fight with Lt. Gov. Bill Halter that said, "I cast the deciding vote to pass health care reform."
John Boozman for Senate: Because he knows what the heck he thinks on any given day.
Halter Topped?
Last night I wondered whether some Kos-backed polls showing Blanche Lincoln in real trouble in the Arkansas Democratic Senate primary runoff were reliable.
In the race to see who loses to Republican John Boozman, I thought incumbent Arkansas senator Blanche Lincoln had the advantage over Lt. Gov. Bill Halter. The polling during the runoff says otherwise, but I'd feel better if we had one poll that wasn't Daily Kos/Research 2000.
I should have beaten the drum on this point louder: Cook Political Report's Dave Wasserman Tweets, "#ARSEN not really as close as it looks right now. In my estimation Lincoln appears to have hung on to beat Halter."

A Vote of Confidence!
If Arkansas Democrat senator Blanche Lincoln, a supremely embattled incumbent, survives her runoff with Bill Halter today, I think we've found her bumper sticker:
"I feel like I just stabbed my country in the back," said Pat Wallace of North Little Rock after voting at Halter's precinct. "With fear and trembling, I voted for Blanche . . . I don't like this. I want to vote for someone. We just don't have any leaders."
Can you picture it? "Now is the time for all good men to stab their country in the back and vote for Blanche Lincoln."
Is Blanche Lincoln in as Much Trouble as the Kos/R2000 Poll Suggests?
For example, in the most recent Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll, 48 percent say they voted for Halter in the first round, 46 percent say they voted for Lincoln, and 3 percent say they voted for conservative candidate D. C. Morrison. But in the actual results, Lincoln had 44.5 percent, Halter had 42.5 percent, and the conservative, Morrison, finished with 13 percent. Does a conservative who voted for the Ron Paul–backing Morrison switch to netroot favorite Halter? Or switch to Lincoln? Or do they stay home?
Doesn't that suggest that perhaps this sample leans a bit too heavily to Halter? And shouldn't more people remember voting for Morrison? Or do voters change their mind when the guy they voted for finished third?
The 57–43 split women-to-men seemed a little high to me, but apparently it was 60–40 in the 2008 primary, so I guess that's in line with expectations . . .
The Choice of Arkansas Democrats May Not Matter That Much
The Arkansas Democratic Senate runoff: The race to be the one who loses to John Boozman in a landslide!
At last, right now:
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Arkansas, taken Wednesday night, shows Boozman, the winner of Tuesday's state GOP Primary, with 66% support in a match-up with Senator Blanche Lincoln. The Democratic incumbent picks up just 28% of the vote. Two percent (2%) prefer some other candidate in the race, and four percent (4%) are undecided. If Lieutenant Governor Bill Halter is his opponent, Boozman, currently the state's only GOP congressman, earns 60% of the vote to the Democrat's 33%. Four percent (4%) like someone else in the race, and three percent (3%) remain undecided.

Predictions for the May Primaries...
Sometimes I'm really right (Massachusetts special Senate election) and sometimes I'm not. I see things similarly to John Miller.
My sense of how things play out today:
Pennsylvania Senate primary, Democrats: Joe Sestak 52 percent, Specter 48 percent. I'm less confident of this one than I was a few days ago. Almost all of the momentum is on Sestak's side, the crowds for Specter's events have been small, and the White House is reportedly preparing for a Specter defeat.
But the polling shows a high number of undecided voters – at least 10 percent in most polls - and I wonder if those folks just stay home. Sestak's had plenty of time to make the sale to these folks, and has advertised heavily. He's caught up close to Specter, but you would figure in this environment, running against an 80-year-old five-term incumbent who was a Republican up until about a year ago, he should be able to roar ahead. I'll stick with my original prediction, but if Specter ends up eking out a victory by the skin of his teeth, thanks to a better organization, I won't be surprised. And, of course, Pat Toomey will be pleased.
Arkansas Senate Primary, Democrats: Blanche Lincoln 49 percent, Bill Halter 47 percent, Other 4 percent. This one is rather moot, as it will probably go to a runoff, but I think that Lincoln is safe in a primary this year. Again, Halter's had a lot of time to close the sale in an anti-incumbent year, and still trails most polls.
Arkansas Senate Primary, Republicans: Rep. John Boozman way ahead of everyone with 47 percent; he and Gilbert Baker are in a runoff.
Kentucky Senate Primary, Democrats: Daniel Mongiardo over Jack Conway. Yeah, you don't care about this one.
Kentucky Senate Primary, Republicans: Rand Paul over Trey Grayson. Won't be close, something like 56 percent to 44 percent.
Pennsylvania's 12th District Special House Election: Republican Tim Burns over Mark Critz by a hair. I feel more confident knowing that Cook Political Report's Dave Wasserman is making the same call. There's more enthusiasm on the Republican side, but Critz is running in a district with a lot of Democrats. Independents appear to be breaking pretty heavily to Burns. Critz hasn't been that bad a candidate, but he's in a district where Obama's approval is low, Pelosi is disdained, the health care bill is hated, cap-and-trade is seen as a job killer, and unemployment is high. What is he supposed to talk about? What is he supposed to campaign on?

Bill Halter Can't Seem to Catch Michelle Obama's Eye
Plenty of Arkansas Democrats were on hand to listen to Michelle Obama's commencement address to graduates of the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. Well before the Saturday ceremony began, Arkansas Sens. Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor were mingling with people in the audience, shaking hands and posing for pictures. So was Lt. Gov. Bill Halter, running in the Democratic primary against Lincoln, who is seeking a third term. Obama acknowledged Gov. Mike Beebe, who was on the stage with her, his wife Ginger, the Senate delegation and state Attorney General Bobby McDaniel. Absent from her greeting list was Halter.
Unlike in Pennsylvania, where Joe Sestak kept his powder dry and then unleashed his campaign on the airwaves in the final weeks, Halter came out swinging from the start, as did Lincoln, and several business groups. Halter is grabbing a healthy share of the vote, but continues to trail by 8 to 11 percentage points. The incumbent is in the mid-40s in most polls, so Halter still has a shot, but he'll probably end up a bit short.
The primary is a week from tomorrow.

Manchester United don't want to be that club, the one who sit at a table with an itchy trigger finger and make wholesale changes at management level after a handful of poor results. It hasn't come to that point yet for those with a clear mind, and to further fly in the face of modern football's win-now-or-else attitude, David Moyes can only fairly be assessed as Manchester United manager after at least a full season.
But that doesn't mean the United boss doesn't have questions to answer. Once again, his side looked devoid of belief, ingenuity and superiority against West Brom on the weekend – one of the Premier League's 'easier' games, at least on paper. One side of the debate owes to how good Steve Clarke's side have been over the past 12 months, yet the point is that once again, no matter the opposition, Man United looked far from impressive, or even competent.
Moyes has labelled his side as one not quite good enough, specifically ahead of this Champions League week. The Manchester United team are lacking "five or six world-class players." That isn't really lost on anyone, so why not address that problem in the summer instead of using it as a get-out clause when trouble arises? Thiago Alcantara may not have been deemed "world class" by the United manager, but he's far better than what the team currently have in midfield. His contribution would have been undoubtedly greater than that of Anderson on the weekend.
As again, it's too soon to question whether Moyes is the right man for the job, but that doesn't mean that particular debate won't be brought up. He should be feeling the pressure, and the pressure of a big club with lofty expectations isn't limited to just newcomers to the big time; it is part of the job. So you have to ask, why hasn't Moyes done more to give himself a better chance of survival, both in the short and long term?
Moyes may have brought up the topic of fixture congestion, and he isn't the first manager at a big club to do so. But the sense was that he was feeling the weight of the heavy schedule at his own door, rather than echoing what his team were feeling. After all, this is a largely unchanged United team who are more than learned in the expectations of a Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday schedule. If anything, the only change of note that was made has added to the depth at Old Trafford, rather than decreased the squad size.
In addition, Moyes understands what's expected of him from English football. That, in a way, was his strong card to be held against names like Pep Guardiola, who are alien to the demands of the English football calendar.
The rotation policy is one we've seen so often over the years from Ferguson, and in terms of numbers, there is little that can be said of the current United squad. Why then opt to play Rio Ferdinand so often when it's clear he's declining as a footballer and should be used sparingly? The United defence has been poor, notably in the loss at Manchester City, but is that owed to the quality of personnel, or in the fatigue of key individuals?
Moyes finally started Kagawa, though from the flanks, and would be wise to lean on the former Borussia Dortmund midfielder as a means to push on and add some flair and cutting edge in the final third. Of course, Moyes may choose to keep him on the bench, but what have any of the other wide players done to warrant that decision?
A thought, and it is a hollow hope in a way, is that Moyes often started the league campaign slowly at Everton. There's no doubt that this United team are good enough to be among the top three at the end of the season, but it's a matter of how quickly Moyes can adapt to the demands of a big club.
It's not quite at the stage where the panic button needs to be hit – far from it in fact. But alterations do need to be made for Moyes to prove that, come the end of the season, he was the right successor to Alex Ferguson.
Is Moyes starting to feel the pressure as Man United manager?

5 Thanksgiving Myths Debunked — Pilgrims Didn't Wear Buckles? (And More)
Thanksgiving, which we've been celebrating in America for centuries now, is a time of family, food and, especially, tradition. Even so, many of the stories we take as gospel about this wonderful holiday—wonderful if you're not endlessly bickering with your relatives, that is—aren't true at all. Myth, legend and wishful thinking play into a lot of the misconceptions surrounding Turkey Day.
'It's a Wonderful Life 2′ Is in the Works Because We Need 'The Rest of the Story'
Seems there is no moratorium on sequels as, just in time for the holidays, comes news that the Jimmy Stewart classic 'It's a Wonderful Life' is getting a sequel. Nope, not a remake, but a sequel, since apparently we didn't get the full story the first time around. The new film, titled 'It's a Wonderful Life: The Rest of the Story' (original!) will follow the grandson of Stewart's character.

Arctic Observing Summit
The Arctic Observing Summit (AOS) is a high-level, biennial summit that aims to provide community-driven, science-based guidance for the design, implementation, coordination and sustained long-term (decades) operation of an international network of arctic observing systems. The AOS will provide a platform to address urgent and broadly recognized needs of arctic observing across all components of the arctic system, including the human component. It will foster international communication and coordination of long-term observations aimed at improving understanding and responding to system-scale arctic change. The AOS will be an international forum for optimizing resource allocation through coordination and exchange among researchers, funding agencies, and others involved or interested in long-term observing activities, while minimizing duplication and gaps. The AOS is a contribution to the Sustaining Arctic Observing Network (SAON) initiative.
The AOS 2014 will be held in conjunction with the Arctic Science Summit Week in Helsinki, Finland, April 5-11, 2014. It is co-organised with the Finnish Meteorological Institute and the Thule Institute. It is primarily a forum for exchange and discussion of information critical to building and sustaining an integrated, multi-domain observing system of pan-Arctic scale.
On this website you can find information on registration for the AOS 2014 and the ASSW 2014

Whisperings of an imminent increase in fuel economy standards are getting louder. Understandably, such news has many speed hounds full with angst. After all, the tactic of most automakers is simply to sacrifice power. But, not BMW.
It's not that we blame other automakers for sacrificing power...It certainly is one of the easiest solutions available. But, BMW isn't worried about making their life easier. They're concerned with continuing to meet luxury…

Sources have confirmed that Joe Calderone, a former Your News Now sports anchor, will be the new afternoon drive-time host at WTMM (104.5 FM), beginning Monday.
Calderone, who left YNN in June 2012, was given several on-air auditions earlier this month. He will take the position formerly held by Bruce Jacobs, whose contract was not renewed. Jacobs worked his last show Sept. 6.
Program director Armen Williams declined comment on the report. According to the sources, details of the contract are still being finalized, but Calderone has agreed to terms. Pierce Brix and Joe Bianchino have been filling in during the drive-time slot.
Since he left YNN, Calderone started his own Saratoga Springs-based company, "InIt II WinIt" Productions.
Calderone, 39, was at YNN for 8½ years, serving as sports director for part of that time. He was suspended in January 2012 for two weeks for using an obscene gesture on the air.
The hiring should begin the process of bringing the ESPN-affiliated station back to normalcy after a turbulent two months. Williams was hired to fill the 1-3 p.m. weekday slot, allowing Mike Lindsley to move over the drive time.
Those plans imploded Aug. 12 when Lindsley, who was still working the early-afternoon show, unknowingly conducted a nearly half-hour interview with an imposter claiming to be former New York Yankees outfielder Shane Spencer. Lindsley and his producer, Brian Cady, subsequently were fired for the incident 2½ weeks later, although the station never acknowledged the reason.

New and Noteworthy: CNN offers Mac security hyperbole; Australian AUC offers WWDC Scholarships
New and Noteworthy: CNN offers Mac security hyperbole; Australian AUC offers WWDC Scholarships
CNN offers Mac security hyperbole CNN offers an article about Macs becoming a "bigger (security threat) target" with questionable assertions, profiling an instance of the Leap.A "worm" that was widely covered two months ago. The article states "Benjamin Daines was browsing the Web when he clicked on a series of links that promised pictures of an unreleased update to his computer's operating system. Instead, a window opened on the screen and strange commands ran as if the machine was under the control of someone -- or something -- else. Daines was the victim of a computer virus." In fact, Leap.A (a.k.a Oomp-A) was malware that did propagate through iChat, and could cause applications to not work properly -- but required an administrator password to enact its somewhat innocuous effects, making it a low-level threat. More.
Australian AUC offers WWDC Scholarships The AUC has announced that it would be offering Scholarships to University staff and students to attend this years Apple World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) being held in the USA in August 2006. "In 2006 the AUC will subsidize a number of staff and students selected on a nationally competitive basis to attend WWDC. To be eligible to obtain a scholarship you should be a full time staff member or student of an Australian AUC Member University, have a background in programming (Mac, UNIX or Windows), QuickTime and digital media or work as an IT Manager with responsibility for Macintosh deployment on campus."

Op-Ed: Boxing - Cotto vs. Mayorga, the delayed journey home
William Charles Baker
Dec 27, 2010 in
By William Charles Baker.
Boxer Miguel Cotto has been sidelined since the Yuri Foreman win, recuperating from shoulder surgery and waiting for his next fight in 2011.
Rumors are circulating that the free-swinging brawling Ricardo Mayorga is in the mix for a title fight for the WBA junior middleweight championship held by Cotto. Mayorga a repackaged opponent now ready for the world wind tour until he meets another brick wall. Cotto having redeemed himself, almost, with the Foreman win still has much to prove after two savage beatings at the hands of Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito.
In addition, the death of his father Miguel Sr. and his domestic disputes is a big burden for an athlete that maybe has taken too much punishment inside and outside the ring.
Now in the hands of world famous trainer Emanuel Steward instead of the rookie trainer Joe Santiago that was in his corner for Pacquiao there seems to be some hope that with better advice and methods the future results will be different. As they say it remains to be seen.
Now that the fun has ended and the mansions and quips and rookie trainers and overweight friends have faded from the 24/7 screen it is time for the long way home. Battered and having the brutality of the game on his face and multi tattoos to signify that bravery also exists at the point of an ink injection Miguel Cotto must face his greatest challenger, himself. As the old saying goes momma may have and poppa may have but God bless the child that has his own.
With a nation on his shoulders and fighting for his homeland as well as his own glory you have to admire his ambitions but with every punch he received from Pacquiao and Margarito you have to wonder how much of another saying comes to mind. What goes around comes around. We hear rumors that his uncle and then trainer Evangelista Cotto disdained him having his girlfriend with his children and the lack of respect it represented. Other things and disturbances between the two eventually erupting in a physical confrontation which left Evangelista in the hospital and stories surrounding financial matters and monies owed that had not been paid. The happy picture of a family portrayed before the Pacquiao fight simply now in another day shows how far Cotto must go to find his way home.
For it is now long past boxing gloves and rings and trophies and punches and blood and guts and promoters and trainers and dollars. It now is about families that when all else has faded and punch drunk in a room without a coherent thought it is family that remains. Fans are fickle and all the hype in the end cannot drop a dime in a poor box in Church or a kind word in a column by the pundits whose job is to praise glory and challenge defeat.
The next one will be even greater and more spectacular and for the victor will be the love of a country whose love should be in their own success and history and achievement. Whose people magnify and make worthy everything they touch from a boxing glove to a math book and whose scholars are as important as their fighters. At the end of the road if your family is there it is never a long way. Cotto should take the money and find his home before he finds another fight or illusion that fighting is everything. Before one punch to many that he never saw coming puts the light out forever. Sometimes it is better to fold them when you are ahead.

Ready in 1 hour
Try this Roast Leg of Lamb with Feta Cheese, Olives, Baby Eggplant recipe, or contribute your own. "Bread Crumb" and "Cheese" are two of the tags cooks chose for Roast Leg of Lamb with Feta Cheese, Olives, Baby Eggplant.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lay the butterflied leg of lamb flat on a work surface, fat side down. Combine the bread crumbs, currants, pine nuts, parsley, garlic, feta cheese, olives, rosemary, olive oil, and lemon juice in a bowl and blend well to make a coarse stuffing for the lamb. Spread the stuffing evenly along the center of the inside of the leg of lamb. Fold the lamb towards the center, one side and then the other, to enclose the stuffing and form a roll. Pin the roll closed with toothpicks or skewers, or tie the roll in several places with butchers twine so that it does not open during cooking. Season the outside of the lamb with salt and pepper and place, seam-side-down, in a roasting pan. Place in the oven and roast for 45 minutes, then add the baby eggplants to the roasting pan with the lamb. Continue roasting the lamb and eggplants for another 35 to 40 minutes for medium-rare. Remove the lamb and eggplants from the oven and allow the roast to cool for 20 minutes before slicing. Serve 2 to 3 slices of lamb per person and 1 or 2 roasted eggplants. The eggplant should be left whole during roasting, then split down the middle to serve. They should be eaten by scooping out the creamy eggplant interior, leaving the shells behind. This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.

Product Description
So writes Dr. Steven J. Lawson at the outset of this authoritative survey of the Scriptures. With the skill of an accomplished expositor, Dr. Lawson lets the biblical writers speak for themselves. Each one clearly proclaims the doctrines of grace. The Long Line starts here. From the lawgiver Moses to the apostle John, and from the early church fathers to modern defenders of the faith, there has marched onto the stage of human history a long line of godly men, a triumphant parade of spiritual stalwarts who have upheld the doctrines of grace. In this book, the first in the five-volume Long Line of Godly Men series, Dr. Steven J. Lawson takes readers on a heart-stirring journey through the Scriptures to show that the Bible in its entirety teaches the doctrines of grace.
Steve Lawson is the senior pastor of Christ Fellowship Baptist Church in Mobile, Alabama. Dr. Lawson serves on the board of directors of The Master's College and on the ministerial board for Reformed Theological Seminary, and teaches with Dr. John MacArthur at the Expositor's Institute. In addition, Dr. Lawson has written twelve books, including Faith Under Fire, Made in Our Image, and Famine in the Land: A Passionate Call for Expository Preaching. He and his wife, Anne, have four children: Andrew, James, Grace Anne, and John.

Scientists warn that future winters may be less white.
January 27, 2013, SundayAs temperatures rise, analysts predict that scores of the nation's ski centers, especially those at lower elevations and latitudes, will eventually vanish.
December 13, 2012, ThursdayEager to compensate for nature's shortcomings, a growing number of New England cross-country ski areas are making their own snow.
December 9, 2012, SundayLast season, American resorts reported the lowest average snowfall in 20 years. So how can skiers avoid ruined runs? Here are three strategies.
December 9, 2012, SundayProjections by climate scientists indicate that winter temperatures could rise by anywhere from 4 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century, and the length of the snow season in the Northeast could be cut in half.
December 07, 2012, FridayA new study predicts that climate change will reduce snowpacks across the Northern Hemisphere, leaving areas from China to western North America with less fresh water than they have planned for.
November 13, 2012, TuesdayAn online presentation takes readers through what scientists can and cannot conclude about the relationship between recent climate extremes and global warming.
February 08, 2012, WednesdayEven as the situation in the world's forests starts to look precarious, scientists do not really have the capability they need to monitor the problems.
October 03, 2011, MondayPrecipitation that has afflicted many countries is at least partly due to greenhouse gas emissions, a study says.
February 17, 2011, ThursdayMost buildings — ice rinks, stadiums and homes — were built with specific weather conditions in mind. Will they survive climate change?
February 13, 2011, SundayWe are snowed in and sick of bad weather. Let us look for a dumping place for all of our bad vibrations.
February 03, 2011, ThursdayA forecaster seeing links between warming, Siberia and outbreaks of cold weather offers a fresh prediction.
December 28, 2010, TuesdayWhy is it so cold and snowy in Europe and the Eastern United States? Global warming is affecting the snow cover in Siberia.
December 26, 2010, SundayFar-flung flooding, drought and heat are reviving the question of whether global warming is to blame.
August 15, 2010, SundayAmericans' confusion about climate change makes the U.S. less inclined to move toward clean-tech and more certain to remain addicted to oil.
February 17, 2010, WednesdayThe two sides are seizing on record-setting snows to bolster their arguments.
February 11, 2010, ThursdayConditions and observations recorded for 112 years at a New York resort offer hints of the effects of global warming.
September 16, 2008, TuesdayAs global warming brings less snow, lower-altitude stations must rely more on costly snow machines as Swiss ski resorts struggle with new economic hardships.
January 22, 2008, TuesdayAcross the United States, the number of severe rainfalls and heavy snows has grown significantly in the last half-century.
December 05, 2007, WednesdayBy installing more snowmaking guns and transforming their resorts with colossal spas, sleek architecture and other off-slope attractions, ski resorts in the Alps are trying to stay ahead of global warming.
December 02, 2007, SundayDirt plays a role in climate change, what to do with a forest after a fire and how frogs dispersed from South America.
June 12, 2007, TuesdayScientists say global warming could extinguish Bolivia's skiing tradition when its only ski run disappears forever in a few years.
February 02, 2007, FridayEven if you are no fan of snow and ice, the elongated break from winter weather is giving most of us an uneasy feeling.
January 14, 2007, SundayUnseasonably warm weather has resorts like Font-Romeu in the French Pyrenees, above, making snow. But it also has skiers discussing more important issues. Recent reports that global warming could endanger not just the ice caps and sea ice, but ski slopes -- perhaps even leading to little snow at resorts under 5,000 feet in the next 20 years -- has skiers in a bit of a white panic. Now Patrick Thorne, a journalist who writes about skiing, has started www.SaveOurSnow.com, which is devoted en...
December 24, 2006, SundayThe record warmth in the Alps has brought home the profound threat of climate change to Europe's ski industry.
December 16, 2006, SaturdayChristopher C. Burt's guide to rainstorms and snowstorms, hurricanes and tornadoes, killer floods and gigantic hailstones is pleasantly obsessive.
January 30, 2005, SundayDespite the recent trend toward global warming, scientists have long wondered whether the earth is nearing another ice age, an end to the 12,000-year temperate spell in which modern civilizations arose. Some have said such a transition is overdue, given that each of the three temperate intervals that immediately preceded the current one lasted only about 10,000 years. But now, in an eagerly awaited study, a group of climate and ice experts say they have new evidence that earth is not even ha...
June 10, 2004, ThursdayThis vaulting heap of ice and the swirling seas nearby have emerged as vital pieces of an urgent puzzle posed by global warming. Can the continuing slow increase in worldwide temperatures touch off abrupt climate upheavals? Each piece of the puzzle is a dynamic and complicated body of water. One, the North Atlantic, is some two miles deep and liquid. The other, this ice cap, is two miles high and solid. For scale, think of it as a freshwater Gulf of Mexico that has been frozen, inverted and ...
June 08, 2004, TuesdayHarry Bader slogged across a patch of America's only Arctic shore, leaning into a late December gale that filled the midday twilight with blowing snow and sent the wind chill to 40 below. Despite the weather, Mr. Bader, the state's land manager for the oil-rich North Slope, was consumed with one thing -- the warming climate. Oil-prospecting convoys in search of new deposits are allowed to crisscross the fragile tundra only when it is snowy and solid. But over three decades, rising temperatu...
January 13, 2004, TuesdayWhen it comes to snowfall, even a flurry is likely to provoke a blizzard of reporting. ''People love hearing about snow,'' said Nolan Doesken, a meteorologist at Colorado State University. But too often, he and other experts say, the nonstop coverage of winter weather masks a troubling decline in reliable snowfall statistics.
February 11, 2003, TuesdayFrom the top of this snow-capped peak 17,400 feet up, the surrounding Royal Range looks as healthy as ever: deep, glittering snow and a thick covering of glaciers as far as the eye can see. But as Eulalio Gonzales, a veteran mountain guide, surveyed from the craggy peak overlooking Bolivia's windswept highlands, all he saw were remnants, fading and shrinking fast.
November 24, 2002, SundayThe situation here does not quite equal the horror of the 10 plagues of ancient Egypt -- the pastures have not been overrun by frogs or fleas, at least not yet. But after three years of calamities including drought, an earthquake, a killer blizzard, and even a plague of locusts that ate the grasslands clean, the sheep and cattle herders of Inner Mongolia are bewildered. They look to the coming winter with dread.
September 25, 2001, TuesdayAt the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx, fragrant white blooms with a pink blush are breaking out on specimens of a popular landscaping shrub called the Koreanspice viburnum -- four to five months early. Snowdrops, among the earliest bulbs to send up shoots when winter ends, have already poked up their noses. In some New York suburbs, yellow forsythia blossoms have brought a premature touch of spring to December. ''There's a little confusion out there,'' said Wayne Cahilly, an arborist...
December 19, 1999, SundayHOTEL room rates are expected to rise slightly this year, even though occupancy rates will decline slightly, but travelers should not be lulled into thinking they need not book well in advance. With the economy still chugging along, rooms will continue to be hard to come by in New York, Boston, San Francisco, Chicago and other business cities. Chicago, for example, just added the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place, a 33-story property. All of its 800 rooms are expected to be open next month; more...
June 10, 1998, WednesdaySTARTING in the 15th century, Europe and North America entered a period of climatic cooling that lasted, on and off, for some six centuries. Scientists believe that the average global surface temperature dropped about 1 to 3 degrees Fahrenheit below today's. During the worst of the cold, harvests failed and there was starving in Europe, and people could walk across New York Harbor on the ice. But scientists have been uncertain as to whether this Little Ice Age was a global phenomenon, and if...

A signal swings and the lights turn off
And a missing man begins to cough
And no one knows the lost ones from the found
And lady luck, well, she canĺt explain
To a hardened coin or a bill, the game
It seems everything changes hands when it hits the ground
They said itĺs dog eat dog, cat eat mouse
And mouse eat cheese and the cheese just smells
The warning systems ring but help wonĺt come.
And all the calling cards and the walking sticks
And the hidden punches and the cowardĺs kicks
Say we got a big mouthful now
Pick it up and put it in your pocket
Or somebody else will
Pick it up and put it in your pocket
Or somebody else just will
Repeat as necessary
Now the worldĺs a road and for miles around
On every inch of unclaimed ground, hide rewards for some but all the rest
Spin a creepy wheel or they trip the stair
While the new school boys just canĺt play fair
In a place that leaves itĺs money in itĺs mess
Chorus repeat
Now an old man with a paper bag
And a list so long on a dirty rag
Checks each item that he will throw or keep
But heĺll never thank the coin thatĺs bent
Or a greenback bill that a stranger sent
But heĺll pick ĺem just the same
And then heĺll thank the street
He turns and says itĺs dog eat dog
And cat eat mouse
And mouse eat cheese
And the cheese just smells
Now I donĺt wanna seem to say
That the time ahead wonĺt be okay
But the scale is loaded down
With the weight of sixteen tons
And the ones that have
Tell the ones that donĺt
To tell the ones that canĺt
About the ones who wonĺt
And thereĺs no place left here
ĺround to run
Chorus repeat endlessly

A week ago Saturday may wife, my sister, my brother-in-law and I drove into New York City for a meal at Carmine's on 44th and 6th. We've been there many times and always have a great time. One needs to understand how the food is served (family style) before ordering and and that you'll need a suitcase to carry home the leftovers but it is dependably terrific.
One of my favorite bloggers has a great writing technique. He has led an interesting life out in the American West which has given him some fascinating experiences involving the great outdoors and with wildlife, horses, and people from outside that environment trying to interact with it. He then takes these experiences and weaves them into some well written blog posts that relate to current events. Growing up in the suburbs of New Jersey and spending my 20′s as a straight laced workaholic by day and bar hopping idiot by night don't give quite the same rich personal history to draw upon, but I'm going to try to emulate his technique anyway. So sit back and enjoy!
There is no excuse: child molestation is the murder of an innocent soul, for that soul will never be able to grow and mature into the adult that it was meant to be. We all know victims of childhood sexual molestation, whether they have told you or not, you know them. Some of them have a strong survival instinct and persevere through the shame and confusion to become productive adults: others are destroyed, they are the ones for whom the pain and humiliation were too much. They are often consumed by drugs and alcohol or they become prostitutes to complete their pain and be ground down into the gutters of life.

It is a very complicated scenario, I don't pretend to have the answers.
But I will tell what makes me want to ABSOLUTELY VOMIT!! Some of you folks think LEGALIZING DRUGS is the answer?!?!?! God help us all.
Either you use drugs yourself, or you have NEVER, EVER known or loved anyone, that is strung out. I have lost a few loved ones to drugs in my lifetime... 1 is dead, 2 are stammering, wasted shells of what they once were... one is in deservedly in prison, one is living a hollow, vacant life - unemployed, skin and bones living in a shack, bumming fix money from his parents and relatives (still using coke **shock**, by the way). Oh yeah, and with NO HOPE of EVER returning to normal.
Should smoking a joint be a felony? No.
Should selling weed be a felony? YES.
Selling ANY illegal drug should have an EXTREMELY harsh sentence (5 yrs, no parole). I do believe THAT WOULD be a deterrence.Bottom line: Drugs RUIN lives...(to repeat) drugs RUIN lives. Period.
If hardcore addicts were NOT put into prison where they are reasonably seperated from drugs, they WOULD UNQUESTIONABLY wind up starving, alone, diseased, and MISERABLE...in a cold dark room with rags on their backs and no food in the cupboard.
A drug addict IS better off in a concrete & steel prison, than in the torture chamber of addiction. If you poo-poo my opinion, ask a parent whose kids are using. Maybe they can explain the loss better than I can.
"But I will tell what makes me want to ABSOLUTELY VOMIT!! Some of you folks think LEGALIZING DRUGS is the answer?!?!?!"
Take a look at this - http://drugwarfacts.org/cms/?q=node/67.
I do not believe you understand and appreciate that the USA could tackle the "drug problem" very differently. And the outcome would be many, many LESS ruined lives. Statistically speaking, perhaps one or two of your "'lost… loved ones to drugs" would not have been lost if we were a little more progressive. And you'd get rid of your nausea too…

Flanked by a giant golden Oscar, Sony Pictures Classics co-president Michael Barker introduced the cast of Woody Allen's new film "Blue Jasmine" at the movie's recent premiere.
Slowly, the stars in attendance at the Samuel Goldwyn Theatre stood for recognition: Blanchett, Peter, Andrew Dice Clay, Ali Fedotowsky.
"Wait," one moviegoer whispered to her date, "isn't that the chick from 'The Bachelorette'?"
Indeed, there she was, Ali Fedotowsky -- the 28-year-old best known for dating 25 dudes on ABC's reality television show in 2010 -- standing alongside an Oscar-winning actress.
Since getting engaged to -- and subsequently breaking up with -- "Bachelorette" contestant Roberto Martinez, Fedotowsky has built a respectable career as a TV personality, often filling in for Giuliana Rancic on E! News and hosting her own travel show, NBC's "1st Look" -- a staple on the TVs in New York City cabs.
It was on the latter show that Allen's casting director, Patricia DiCerto, eyed the bubbly blonde and thought of her for a role in "Blue Jasmine."
"She fit Woody's vision of the character both physically and personality-wise," DiCerto wrote in an email. "I knew he would think she was perfect for the role."
The term "role" may be a bit of a stretch when it comes to describing Fedotowsky's bit in the film, which follows a woman (Blanchett) on the verge of a nervous breakdown after the dissolution of her marriage to a wealthy con man (Alec Baldwin). Fedotowsky plays the couple's physical trainer, and Baldwin's character asks if she'd be interested in attending a Yankees game with him.
"Absolutely," Fedotowsky's character Melanie replies enthusiastically. "If there's nobody else you want to take."
The whole scene lasts maybe 30 seconds, but filming it in the Hamptons last summer was nonetheless thrilling for the onetime reality-TV star.
"When Alec started reading his line, he was so good that I almost didn't realize we were starting," Fedotowsky recalled on the telephone hours before the L.A. premiere. "He and Cate were both so nice. After one take, she said, 'You and I gave each other a little look involuntarily. I liked how we did that. Let's try it again.' "
On set, Fedotowsky didn't mention to anyone that she'd been "The Bachelorette."
"I wanted them to think of me as a young actress who was getting her first little role," said the TV host, who said she has no plans to pursue an acting career.
"I don't think I'm going to be winning an Oscar anytime soon," she said with a laugh. "It's still mind-boggling to me -- I feel like I'm lying when I tell people that I have a cameo in a Woody Allen film. I'm going to get to buy the DVD and keep it forever."

"Replaced my Zboard and is a vast improvement"
on by Mergatroid ManiaPros The gaming keys of course.
Cons Cannot program the brightness or colour of the back lights.
Summary I owned the zboard for several years and basically wore it out. I found this keyboard at a local computer store and just about wet myself. What a great idea this keyboard is.
Personally, I don't see any point behind purchasing a gaming keyboard that does not give you specialty gaming keys. Might as well use a normal keyboard.
If you walked into a game arcade and saw the keys some video games were using they might look similar to this. The gaming keys are large and unlike what the cnet reviewer would have you believe they are well placed and easy to get used to.
From the cnet review: "the combination of convex and concave round keys are too close together and feel too similar to each other".
I hate to have to mention this, but on a regular keyboard (and most "gaming" keyboards for that matter) all the keys are exactly the same and packed together for typing. So, how the keys on the gaming section can be considered "too close together and feel too similar to each other" I fail to understand.
The backlights on this keyboard help a lot, and I believe they are well worth the "extra $40". However, I was disappointed that you cannot set a default colour (other than red) and intensity (other than max). Instead they give you two keys, on for adjusting the intensity (3 stages) of the backlights or shutting them off, and one for changing the backlight colour (red, blue, purple (pink if you ask me)). However, when you cold start your PC the unit will always come on with the red backlight colour and maximum intensity.
The keys are very easy to program, but if you don't like programming gaming devices you can use their pre-made templates that can be downloaded from their site. Personally, I usually like my keys set up a little differently than other people so I make my own templates or modify those provided.
I use this keyboard for every game I play. FPS (I still love playing Serious Sam 2 on my LAN with my buddies, and Borderlands is awesome with this keyboard). I also use it for MMORPGs and it works very well.
It is great for typing, basically like a normal keyboard. Note that the six keys above the usual cursor keys (insert, delete, home, end, page up and page down), and the cursor keys themselves have been integrated into the numeric keypad to save space. This works great for me, but people doing data entry a lot may not want this keyboard (unless they don't mind getting used to it).
It has pretty much standard multimedia keys that will work in any program that is currently active (selected). So, if you have multiple programs open these keys will control whichever program you are currently working in. There are two USB ports that are handy as well as a mic and headphone jacks nicely placed out of the way on the back of the keyboard
If you are a serious gamer and like trying new things you might want to give this keyboard a try. If you are a casual gamer and find yourself hunting for the keys you need to press for your favorite game, you also may want to give this keyboard a try. I really liked using my old Zboard keyboard with the standard gaming keyset. This keyboard is basically the same thing with better keys, backlights and no custom keysets that were poorly laid out anyway.
After owning this keyboard for a couple of years I still like it, however I think they should update it with a colour LCD display (like one of the newer Logitech gaming keyboards) or they could make an attachment with a display on it that can be clipped onto the back to the keyboard.
All in all, I still have to say this is an excellent gaming keyboard and from what I have seen available on the market, my personal first choice. -
on by strtmknxPros Lighting, on board jacks, gaming pad.
Cons The media keys sometimes seem like they don't want to control media player.
Summary I noticed a few people beating on the Merc series. I owed a non-stealth Merc for 2 years with no problems. It's even pretty simple to pull apart and clean thoroughly. First, about breaking keys as someone has complained about the keys breaking, usually, keys aren't pressure sensitive, if you don't jam your finger down hard enough to permanently blind someone, you likely won't have this problem. As for the coating coming off of the keys, it happens with use. However, with my basic Merc that I had for 2 years, I never had any of the keys fade in any way. For those that experienced problems with bugs, maybe your driver installed incorrectly or you installed the wrong one. Back-lights stopped working after a short period of time? Guess what, lemons make it through in mass production. It happens. Cars, computers, everything, they'll always be a few bad ones that make it past the QA guys.
TL;DR It's an awesome board. It won't last forever and if you are rough with it, that's especially true. It's not made of steel, so don't think you can mistreat it and the lighting and keys will work forever. However, for comfort, ease of use and design, this board rocks. I can't use any other board for gaming now. :D -
"Promises much but fails to deliver! a very poor board!"
on by diggravePros It switches on has 3 different coloured led's which have 3 dimmable presets, customisable keys
Cons usb's not powered so are basically useless. never, ever, got microphone port to work, buggy software, rubberised cover on gaming keys comes off. gaming keys broke at 12 months, got it replaced then it broke again at 6 months!
Summary Do yourself and your bank balance a favour as this is a crappy keyboard. The gaming key stems (wasd)are weak and break because the stems are even thinner than the one's on the typing keys, though the surface area of them is bigger. This is a huge design fault and means that when (not if) they break, you can't even swap it out for another key, nor can you buy them separately from Steelseries. I will NOT be buying another board from this company for the above reasons and I recommend you to do the same and go elsewhere.
"Worst built product ever"
on by JoshAdams53Pros Good for gaming
Cons Half the keys didn't work after the first day.
LED lights didn't work correctly after first day.
Collects a ton of dust.Summary If you're looking for a good gaming keyboard, keep on looking. This keyboard would be great if it decided to work. Quality is something you think would come with a $90 keyboard but I guess not. So buyer beward
"Great keyboard with one fatal flaw"
on by CaffanaticPros Backlit keys; Gaming keypad; USB ports; good ergonomic design
Cons Backlit keys (cheap materials)
Summary This was a keyboard I'd been very happy with and very enthused about - right until the black coating started to wear off the keys. They've apparently used some cheap grade of plastic enamel to mask (or silkscreen, whatever it's called,) the letters and digits on the individual keys. Now I have a clear view of which keys I use most frequently, because instead of backlit letters, I've got big window-blobs of light with the little white plastic key plunger doodads behind them. If I were one of these expert typists who never need to look at the keyboard this would not be a problem - but I'm not, so it is.
One other downside I forgot to mention is that the Stealth does not have a dedicated Delete key - it's piggybacked on the "1" digit on the numeric keypad, which means you have to toggle Num Lock off and on to use it. Not a major negative but an annoyance that could be easily designed out of this unit.
The whole point of having backlit alphanumeric keys is being able to see at a glance what they are. Merc had a great design for this keyboard, but they skimped on materials and workmanship, having the effect of giving it roughly a one year shelf life. This is a computer keyboard, not a can of soup, and it's called "SteelSeries," which is now an annoying irony.
If they had made these key caps out of something durable like metal (per the name's pretensions) - or even a respectable grade of enamel, I would not be forced into the market for a new (non-Merc) keyboard right now, and the price I paid for this thing might have been justified. Shame, shame on Merc for giving a production green light to a keyboard built with junk materials. Guys, if you're going to build it, build it like you mean it. I don't have time for this kind of nonsense.

Major bike theft gang busted
- Published: 3/01/2013 at 08:38 PM
- Online news:
TRANG: Police arrested five members of a motorcycle theft gang, the province's biggest, and confiscated 14 stolen bikes worth about 540,000 baht on Thursday.
The arrests came after police launched an investigation to identify and eradicate a gang of thieves responsible for stealing 60 motorcycles from residents in Muang and Yan Ta Khao districts between October and December last year, said Pol Col Thammanoon Traitippayapong, deputy commander of Trang provincial police.
Most of the seized bikes, which were destined for sale in neighbouring countries, were Honda Wave and Yamaha Fino models for which there is a high demand on the black market, he said
The suspects told police they would scout residential neighbourhoods and target motor bikes whose owners left the key in the ignition. They sold the bikes for 6,000 baht. Stolen bikes without keys were worth 3,000 baht each.
The gang said they hired a driver to deliver the bikes to an agent in Phatthalung province from where they would be sent to Songkhla before being smuggled out of the country by sea.
Police are looking for 10 more members of the gang, Pol Col Thammanoon added.

Christopher Heine | January 10, 2011 | Comments
A New York City optometrist has been testing Yelp's "Check-in Offers" since the platform went live six weeks ago and - somewhat predictably - has seen very modest results. Dr. Justin Bazan, owner of Park Slope Eye, said that even though his staff encourages check-ins, they've been few and far between.
"A lot less than expected," he told ClickZ. "Only a few per week check in. Only a [few] have actually claimed the check-in offer. I do feel that as the awareness grows, it will take off. More businesses need to utilize it, and do a better job of promoting it. It's not just enough to offer one, you have to promote it."
Bazan and his team have advertised three check-in offers on their Yelp page, while pushing the promotions with posts/tweets on Park Slope Eye's Facebook page (1,100 "likes") and Twitter account (3,700 followers). Here's a rundown of the rewards they've offered for a single check-in:
- $100 towards a pair of glasses
- A gift certificate for $25 to a nearby beer specialty store called Bierkraft
- One free container of lip balm (retailed at $1.15)
For the last few months, Park Slope Eye has also been campaigning via Foursquare and Facebook Places. "Again, the response has been a lot less than expected," Bazan said. Even though check-ins have been infrequent, the optometrist said he thinks that location-based marketing will become increasingly important to local/small businesses.
"There is a lot of potential," he said. "I habitually check in to places that I patronize. I think the potential is going to come in a few different areas. One is to increase sales by enticing them to buy a product at a reduced cost that they might not have done for full price. Two is to increase sales by mobile users choosing to patronize a business for a check-in special… [Lastly, you can] build loyalty by rewarding a guest for checking in."
Foursquare Numbers Encourage Chelsea Piers to 'Check In' With Yelp
Park Slope Eye is one of a growing number of New York City businesses working on their geo-social marketing chops, while they wait for consumers to adopt smartphone app-based platforms in bigger numbers. For instance, Chelsea Piers began leveraging Foursquare in the fall and has had 1,000 unique users check in. All told, the fitness and fun mega-center's Foursquare page has tallied nearly 5,000 check-ins.
"We will be looking to leverage Yelp's new platform based on the experience we've had so far with Foursquare," said Dana Thayer, SVP marketing and sponsorship for Chelsea Piers. "Check-ins are like brand ambassadors. If you are bothering to check in and say you are exercising at Chelsea Piers, it's an advertisement for our gym."
An example of Chelsea Piers' recent Foursquare offers: People checking in to the golf club/driving range have been rewarded with a $5 ball card. Another: Health club "mayors" get to bring a friend to the club. Guest passes are normally $50.
"This is a way for us to jump into the social conversation and reward our customers," Thayer explained. "We have had a couple forays into this, and we are still playing with it…We also find that people's comments after checking in on Foursquare is 99 percent positive, which is obviously very valuable to us."

Europe's New Deal Has Markets Cheering
"European stocks rallied after policy makers eased repayment rules for Spanish banks, relaxed conditions for possible aid to Italy and unveiled a $149 billion growth plan for the region's economy," Bloomberg News reports this morning. "U.S. index futures and Asian shares also rose."
The Wall Street Journal sums up the reaction in the markets this way: "Investors welcomed an agreement by euro-zone leaders for banks to receive aid directly from the region's permanent bailout fund, without adding to government debt.
What's particularly pleasing to big investors is the part about not adding to government debt, says The Financial Times:
"Eurozone leaders agreed to radically restructure Spain's [100 billion euros] bank recapitalization plan during all-night talks at an EU summit that ended in the early hours of Friday. The agreement will result in EU bailout funds eventually being injected directly into teetering Spanish financial institutions, meaning Madrid can sweep the burden of the bailouts off its sovereign books."
That, in turn, should help keep a lid on the Spanish government's borrowing costs.
While there have been many plans and packages in the recent past, The Associated Press writes from Brussels that "after 18 disappointing summits, Europe's leaders appeared Friday to have finally come up with a set of short-term measures and long-term plans that show they are serious about solving their crippling debt crisis." The wire service adds that "the scale of the moves were unexpected and provided investors a reason for optimism, even as analysts cast doubt on the plans' feasibility and noted that some fundamental problems with the common currency remain."

USF students are busy juggling class schedules, textbooks and apparently babies. It is not that they are having more children, but many students babysit after class as a way of earning extra money. The USF Career Services Center maintains a list of available student -babysitters that they send out to interested parents.
A record number turned up for USF's 21st annual career and internship fair last Friday. The weakening economy appears to have prompted students to start looking earlier for jobs amidst a weak college recruiting season, where schools from Harvard to Notre Dame are seeing a drastic decline in on-campus recruiting and job postings.
