Do you start studying for most exams one or two nights before the test? Do you complete most of your homework problems the night before they are due? Do you put off going over lecture notes until you begin preparing for an exam? If you answered yes to at least one of these questions, you are not using effective study techniques and are therefore not getting the most out of your classes. You are not alone. Most university students do not study in a manner that results in meaningful, long-term learning of concepts and development of problem-solving skills. The good news, however, is that these strategies are simple to learn and generally result in an immediate improvement in your learning and your course grades.
These study strategies involve getting the most out of your lectures, your homework assignments, and your tests and quizzes, as well as your professor and fellow students. In order to achieve a high level of success in science courses, you will need to implement a variety of learning strategies. Some of these are listed below.
Preread the material that will be covered in lecture before the lecture. Use the syllabus provided by your instructor to determine the appropriate material to preread. By previewing the material, you'll be much better prepared to understand it when it comes up during the lecture.
Be an active participant in the lecture. Sit near the front of your class, where you will be able to focus on the lecturer, avoid distractions, and see everything clearly. Try to form mental pictures of the phenomena being discussed, because visualizing the material will help you to retain more of the concepts.
Take good notes, and review and rework them as soon after the lecture as possible. Develop a note-taking system that works for you. (Several different types are discussed in books on study strategies.) Research studies have shown that reviewing lecture notes within a few hours after the lecture considerably increases retention and understanding. Note areas where you are unsure and seek assistance from your instructor.
Form a study group with classmates. Actively discussing the material with fellow students will help you better understand the concepts and remember the material.
Visit your instructor's office hours regularly. Discussing concepts with your instructor will help you to clarify any you find confusing and will also help you get to know a faculty member better. This may come in quite handy when you are seeking letters of recommendation or information about graduate programs.
Attempt your homework problems only after you have studied the material and know it well enough to work through the problems without looking at analogous sample problems or reviewing the solution in the solutions manual. One of the biggest causes of low performance on science tests is the habit of using the examples to do the homework. You must do the problem yourself; do not let the example do it for you!
Rework all missed items on homework, quizzes, and previous tests as soon as possible after they have been returned to you. This will help you clear up any misconceptions and master material that you hadn't before.
Use tutorials and other resources available through the learning center on your campus. Workshops on time management, listening and note taking, test preparation, test-taking, and other topics will be quite helpful as you develop the learning strategies that will enable you to achieve academic excellence.
If you use these strategies regularly, you will find that your studying will be more efficient and you will achieve success in all of your courses, including the ones in science. Students who use these strategies faithfully can experience a dramatic increase in their GPAs.
The keys to making any improvement strategies work for you, however, is to start using them and then to use them consistently. So, it is imperative that you begin implementing these study strategies immediately. Begin right now by prereading the material for your next lecture, or by calling friends to set up a study group, or by visiting your professor during her or his next office hours, or by resisting the temptation to use the sample problems to do your homework. The important thing is that you begin now, and watch your performance skyrocket.

Originally constructed in 1959, Panache was completely transformed in 1998 from a Dutch freight barge to a boutique hotel barge operated by European Waterways. What really distinguishes this vessel from its peers is space: While other barges of similar size often accommodate twice as many guests, the two-deck Panache was designed for just 12 passengers.
What We Love
Comfy Lounges: You can relax in elegant leather armchairs in the saloon, or head to the sun deck to lounge in the whirlpool and watch the castles and countryside pass by.
Bicycles on Board: Each passenger has access to a bicycle, an ideal way to see the landscape surrounding the canals at your own pace.
Best Known For
French Gastronomy: The chef prepares Michelin-starred quality French cuisine on this ship, with memorable lunches and dinners that include the finest French wines and local specialties. (Picture roast duck, crêpes suzette, and a cheese board).
Quality Tours: A knowledgeable guide leads for-purchase tours to a variety of attractions such as a chocolate museum in Strasbourg, or to the Alsacien countryside where you can go hot-air ballooning.
Find a Cruise
Who It's Best For
Social Older Couples: You'll likely cruise with a crowd of 50-year-olds and up who love to chat.
Charter Groups: The ship's intimate size makes it a great choice for a group of 12 friends or family members who'd like the ship to themselves, spending a week in Champagne, Alsace, or Holland.
Don't Say We Didn't Warn You
Close Quarters: You'll share every experience with others on board, and while this is rarely a problem as the barge attracts like-minded passengers, there's no escape if you don't get along.

Thatcher fans in push for "I'm in Love With Margaret Thatcher" to Number One in the UK Charts
Fans of the former British Prime Minister are urging people to buy the 1980 punk song, I'm in Love With Margaret Thatcher to knock "Ding Dong" off the Number 1 spot for Sunday
Following a campaign to get "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead" to the number one slot in the UK charts following Lady Thatcher's demise, fans of Lady Thatcher are now calling on friends and the public to try and replace it at number one with, "I'm In Love With Margaret Thatcher".
The single, first released in 1980 by the punk band, 'Notsensibles' is described as a tongue-in-cheek yet well-received and amenable look at the election of Margaret Thatcher as Prime Minister in 1979. The single was re-released last year to coincide with the launch of the film, The Iron Lady.
The lyrics of the song include the lines: "Oh Margaret Thatcher is so sexy, She's the girl for you and me, I go red when she's on the telly, 'Cos I think she fancies me".
A Facebook group urging the purchase of the song from iTunes, Amazon or Play, has already amassed 2000 people and is growing. But the song will need over 20,000 purchases to make a dent in the top spot of the UK charts.
Members of the group have remarked, "The aim, I believe, is 30k to make it to No.1 - can it be that hard?" and "Best 79p I've ever spent".
The song rose from nowhere on the UK chart to 130 this morning and now (20:06, Friday) sits at number 11. At 9pm, the song entered the Top Ten of the UK charts. At 10pm, it rose to number 9.
You can purchase the song from any of the following outlets to help give the cause a better chance:

15 day Panama Canal cruise
Getting to Miami: We flew down a day ahead of departure. We booked the cruise early and then booked rooms and airline tickets early. Celebrity then changed the port of embarkation from Ft. Lauderdale to Miami. It is about 30 miles and not a long distance. Celebrity did not offer to cover the extra cost for the transfer which cost us about $60.
Embarkation: It was smooth and quick. Since the ship had been in dry dock for two weeks prior, there were no passengers getting off nor some of the other issues related to clearing immigration, etc. We got on the ship at 11:00 am.
Dining: We had main seating and were at the back of the ship at table 420. Our tablemates were great as we try to always get a round table for 8. We enjoy meeting new people and having the pleasure of dining with them for the trip. The food was respectable, but not as memorable as we had had on the Constellation just 5 months prior. Lobster night was excellent. Being on a 15 day (2 week cruise, we had hoped for two lobster nights, but only one was forthcoming). Service was acceptable, but it was difficult to understand our waiter at times due to noise in general in the dining room and at times the noise from the ship.
The Seaside Cafe was very good. Being in CC class, we had excellent room service, thus ate on our balcony most mornings. The room service food was always hot and on time. We did go to the cafe for waffles twice. For lunch we ate in the cafe every day we were on ship except one. I personally became addicted to the pasta bar with garlic and onions sautEed and added to the sauces. I would ask the servers to drain my pasta more as it seemed they hurried that process. I finally requested that they skip that step (heating the pasta a little more) it didnt change my enjoyment and the pasta was much less watery.
We enjoyed the sushi bar a few evenings. This is located at the back of the seaside cafe from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm.
We did not try the alternative dining as we had tried it on the Constellation and did not want to spend the extra money. In retrospect with the food in main dining being okay I wish we had tried it one evening.
Entertainment: We were a little disappointed in the entertainment. Most likely it was more our age vs. the actual entertainment. We are in our early 50s and felt that most of the performances were targeted to an older age demographic. We were some of the youngest people on the ship. The ventriloquist though was excellent as we had seen him on the Constellation in Dec 05. The bright spot for us was Tony playing guitar at the aft bar in the evening.
Services/Activities on board: Internet cafe is very expensive and was down a couple of days. We had 7 sea days, so we signed up the package minutes and from an accounting stand point, it worked very well. I do think the pricing is extremely high and would suggest as we did at a couple of ports of call, find an internet cafe where instead of paying $45.00/hour at 75 cents per minute, you can find places for $5.00/hour.
The crew was great! The crew was great! Never had a problem and in fact joked with a couple of the crew (activity staff) that they seemed to be having as much or more fun than we were. The theme parties we excellent and the crew participated and added a lot to the enjoyment.
We attended a couple of other activities during the 2 weeks, but for the most part tried to have no schedule. My motto was eat, sleep, drink.
Ports of Call: With the Panama Canal, it was a cruise to remember just because of that. It took the whole day to sail from the Caribbean to the Pacific.
Other ports were Aruba, which to me is overrated. Most of our ports were on the Pacific. Our best was Acapulco. Coming into the port is neat as the views are wonderful, then we did the Cliff Divers tour and had some of the best seats for viewing in the restaurant next to the cliff. This was a ship sponsored tour.
We did a zip line tour in Costa Rica with an individual named Charlie Soto. He met us at the pier, personally was with us the whole day and then when one of our excursion members needed some medicine (unrelated to the excursion) he help her find a pharmacy and went into the store to again help. This was on a Sunday in Puntarenas.
In Cabo San Lucas we ate at a ship recommended restaurant called the Shrimp Factory or Store. It was the best shrimp I have ever had in a restaurant. The plate is big, the shrimp are big too. Get the whole plate. I got only a ½ plate and craved more. They cooked the shrimp in saltwater and it required no sauce as needed if cooked only in plain water.
At end of cruise, we had two days in San Francisco. Blue skies and warm weather! Ate crab twice, once in Monterey and second time at Fishermans wharf and rode the trolley cars. We also helped SF celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 1906 earthquake.
Disembarkation: We had a smooth and quick disembarkation. The biggest issue was immigration where the whole list of passengers ended up in line at the same time to go through immigration. The line went from the theatre (which is forward) aft on the starboard side all the way back to the dining rooms and then across the ship to the port side to begin heading back to the theatre where we started our trek to the dining room and then back to the theatre. The theatre was where immigration clearance took place. Once the line started to move it went pretty quick. It turned out it was a good time to see everyone again and say good bye as you tried to find the end of the line.
Conclusion: The Panama Canal trip was well worth it. It was worth it for a number of reasons: 1) We met a lot of Cruise Critic members that we had be on threads together for months 2) we had an exotic itinerary 3) We had 15 days! 4) we had a great crew/staff 5) we had great tablemates 6) we had great weather on our trip (18 days with not one day of rain or rough seas).
I would recommend the Panama Canal cruise to anyone and would recommend Celebrity as the cruise line to sail.

Everything was working great, then I was getting Alpha Shoppers instead of Google. I searched for how to remove it and I checked Immunet and it wouldn't open. So I followed one of the suggestions and installed the free Spy Hunter SH didn't find the Alpha Shoppers but when I went to Immunet it still wasn't working I'm not inclined to keep SH. They want money before they will fix the problems they "found" and i'm not sure they actually exit. How can I find the files on my computer they say they have?

|This article is about a/an design company involved in the Super Sentai and Power Rangers franchises.
PLEX is a design company that produces material used in Super Sentai and Power Rangers as well as a variety of other shows. [1]
PLEX developed from Popy, the toy company that originally produced Sentai toys. When the licensing of toys moved to Bandai Japan, PLEX began handling all of the designs for the show- namely suits, weapons, mechas, robos, villains and anything visual, especially those to be developed into toys.
PLEX works closely in Japan with Toei Company and Bandai. As of Lightspeed Rescue, PLEX also officially began working with Saban to develop new elements for the show that matched the original concepts in Sentai to be carried over to Power Rangers. One of the earliest projects was Titanium Ranger and his arsenal for Lightspeed Rescue, as GoGo-V did not have any references to a sixth ranger.
As PLEX continued to develop elements in Sentai properties, they also continued to assist in the adaptations to Power Rangers. PLEX designed the Spirit Rangers for Jungle Fury, as well as the Mega Mode for Power Rangers Samurai. The Mega Mode was an opportunity for additional 'ranger forms' in toy form, as footage for the cockpits in Shinkenger were deemed replaceable. At Pacific Media Expo in 2011, Tsuyoshi Nonaka, one of PLEX's lead designers explained that the Mega Mode's design was usually reserved for Kamen Riders, and was inspired by Saban's own designs for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie. [2] The designs carried over back to Japan when Power Rangers Samurai was dubbed.

How to Repair a Double Pane Wooden Window
Double-paned windows provide an extra layer of insulation for your home. While newer homes often have vinyl-clad windows, older homes feature wooden windows. Double-paned wooden window repair is just as simple as any other type of window repair whenever you need to replace broken windows. It's just a matter of knowing how to take the wooden frame apart so you can get to the glass. Remember to handle glass with care. Wear work gloves and safety glasses while working with glass to protect yourself.
Remove the molding on both sides of the window that is holding it in place, using a pry bar. Take care with the molding so you can reuse it.
Lay the window on a flat work surface. Unscrew each of the screws on the outside of diagonal corners to release the frame from the double-paned glass. Do not remove the screws from all four corners because this makes it difficult to get the wooden frame square again. Set the screws in a safe place.
Set a small scrap of wood along the inside edge of the frame. Tap the scrap lightly with a hammer to help loosen the wooden frame from the glass. Move the scrap and tap again. Repeat until one L-shaped section of frame comes off the window. Remove the other section of frame in a similar manner.
Pull off the gasket surrounding the glass. Measure the length and width of the glass as well as its thickness. Take the measurements as well as the gasket with you to the glass shop to obtain replacement glass. The glass shop employee uses the gasket to help ensure you get the right double-paned glass for your window frame. If the gasket shows signs of damage, purchase a new one at the glass shop.
Put the gasket around the new piece of glass. Set the two L-shaped pieces of wooden window frame around the gasket. Pull the two pieces together until the holes for the screws align. Insert the screws and tighten them.
Place a drop of silicone caulking in each of the four corners of the window where the wood meets the glass to help seal any air leaks. Add weather stripping to the sides and bottom of the window frame, if desired.
Set the window back into the opening. Reattach the wood molding with finishing nails. If the old molding is not fit to reuse, cut new molding to fit the window's opening with a hand saw. After attaching it with finishing nails, paint the molding to match the rest of the window frame with two coats of paint. Allow the first coat to dry before applying the second one.
Things Needed
- Pry bar
- Screwdriver
- Small scrap of wood
- Hammer
- Tape measure
- Silicone caulking
- Weather stripping (optional)
- Finishing nails
- Wood molding
- Hand saw
- Paint
- Paintbrush
- Remove the top portion of double-hung windows the same as the lower section. If the window does not slide in the frame, it might be easier to call a professional to replace broken windows.
- Double-paned glass is bonded together as one piece when you purchase it. Some glass has gas trapped inside to provide extra insulation.
- Some glass shops do not guarantee their product unless they install it. Their warranty provides protection from the double windows getting moisture between them. This can result in foggy windows or mold growth.

Harmony and effective change of colour in compositions
There are many ways of thinking about composing, sounds and connecting one chord to another.
I will do my best to explain a useful effect that can be applied as well as concepts which helps me when transcribing, composing and arranging.
First of all, I would like to share some fundamentals; the modes of the Major Scale as I see it, complete with chord symbols and slash chords. I will list these in the original (functional) order, but also in an (Modal) order ranging from the brightest sound to the darkest.
Lydian (Brightest)
Locrian (Darkest)
The order in the picture represents each mode as we play the C major scale from C – B. e.g.
Play all the white notes from C-C on the piano (this is the sound of the Ionian scale)
Play all the white notes from D-D on the piano (this is the sound of the Dorian scale)
Play E-E = Phrygian scale, etc. etc.
Slash chords
Some might find it confusing and difficult to understand slash chords, but it's really not that complicated. Composers make use of slash chords, when they wish to present a particular sound or scale. The way they are represented (using a / ), can indicate either:
1. the scale or mode
2. an inversion of a chord, creating a particular sound. This could for example be '5 over 1' i.e. C/F. It could also be Cm/Bb, and this particular voicing, wants to go Aø – D7(b9) – GΔ. The scale representing the inversion Cm/Bb can suggest the use of either C Dorian or the C Aeolian scale. The Bb is not the start of the scale (it's just an inversion of Cm7).
Here's the list of the compulsory slash chords related to the Modes of the Major Scale, but using intervalic numbers, which may be an easier way to remember them. This knowledge will help us to determine whether a composer is referring to a particular scale or simply just an inversion.
Ionian – 4 Δ#11 / 1
Dorian –
Phrygian – b2/1 (example Db/C ) or b2Δ#11 / 1
Lydian – 2/1
Mixolydian – 7Δ / 1 or minor 5/1 (Dm7/G)
Aeolian – b6Δ / 1 (example AbΔ / C )
Locian – b5Δ / 1
Voicing Tip: Including the 4th in a voicing, often represents the sound of the mode clearer than the 5th.
FΔ#11/C represents C Ionian, but you could in fact play this chord only (4th step of the scale) whilst changing the bass note, according to which mode you wish to represent.
Have a look at this article on jazz chords and harmony by Jason Lyon, which I found a couple of years ago. All good stuff to know. http://www.breitlinks.com/jazz/decipheringchords.pdf
Tritone substitution
Theoretical fact: When we tritone substitute the V in a II-V-I, we should include the note of that original chord that we substitute. This will give us the most IN-sound to play on the substitution – the Lydian Dominant scale. In the key of C, the G is such a crucial note as part of the cadence to C.
A straight Db mixolydian (Db7) scale would in fact lead to the key of Gb. However, this could be your choice of sound in a specific context. But knowing the importance of the G creating a Db7#11 is important. The Mixolydian scale is a more angular choice, but would sound ok.
Analysis of effective use of contrasting colours in compositions
As mentioned in another post, I have transcribed several Anders Jormin compositions and have found a great example of how to explain and use one of the most notable writing-effects possible. I'm using the solo section of his composition "Seli" to demonstrate this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HiCop-0jIo starting at 8:35 min.
Bar 1 and 2: introduce minor keys. The phrygian chord leads nicely into the harmonic minor chord on beat three in bar two..
Bar 3: here we are introduced to the relative majors of the minor chords in bar 1.
Bar 4: we are reminded of the original mood as in the beginning of the sequence. The phrygian scale helps the improviser to shape his phrase into the harmonic minor sound at the end of bar 4 before modulating. The note F is held by the phrygian slash chord before resolving to the note E. Coming from DbΔ, the improviser can still use the Ab ionian scale on the phrygian chord because it's the third degree of Ab, i.e. the Db bass note descending to the C, creates a minor sound, leading smoothly into the F Harmonic minor scale, just before modulating to A minor.
Bar 5: "Resolution". New refreshing colour / sound to the piece and gives the sequence more shape and adds variety.
Bar 6: Reminder of the relative major sound related to the original mood / key of the piece. It's very common to improvise using the lydian scale on major chords, but not always the most effective solution – the decision should always be made with consideration to the surrounding harmony and context. context context context. (in this case, Bobo Stenson uses lydian which is the best sounding solution).
Bar 7: this bar functions as a transition, moving back into the minor mood/key of the piece.
Bar 8: a brief movement from major to harmonic minor, which prepares our ears to go back to the top of the sequence..
This is a perfect example of how "naturals" can create the effect of brightness even though the quality is a minor chord. It proves that context plays a big role in what our ear interprets as bright and dark sounds. The resolution of 3 or 4 flats/sharps, brings the most notable harmonic change ("allowed") from one chord to the next one. It is this harmonic resolution, which creates less tension and causes a sense of unexpected delight to our ears. This effect is possible because of the context in which it is used. Take the Lydian sound for example:
This sound can come across a serious/powerful sound played in a particular context such as in rapid chord changes, but when applied to a modal situation in a slower tempo, the sound may come across as a bright open sound. That being said, the actual voicing of the chord plays a big role on the overall texture. Powerful sound; when voiced in stacks of fourths. (#4-Δ7-3) Another strong voicing is: 1-3-#4-Δ7. A modal voicing would be the slash chord: G/F
The bottom line: adding 3 or 4 sharps (or resolving 3/4 flats) to a current tonality will give us the most notable change of scene/colour, or whatever you want to call it.
Our end conclusion and findings are astonishing. When creating a curve representing the change of colours used in Jormin's composition we are presented with a cultural connection showing us a part of the nature from his homeland Sweden – Mountains 😀

With my son in Kindergarten, I've been planning more projects that incorporate some writing and of course some messy art! With all the academics that need to get covered in the short school day kids don't often get the chance to get down and dirty with paint anymore. This simple Indian Corn project kept my 4 and 6 year olds busy for about a half hour (just long enough for me to enjoy a cup of coffee!) and the writing piece will remain a special memory of what they were thankful for at this special time in their childhood.
If you are a teacher, this can be done as a whole class activity and it would make a fantastic bulletin board display! Click on this link to print my free THANKFUL FOR tags and get your creative juices flowing!
Happy Painting & Memory Making!

a new beginning
For all mommies out there reading my blog, I think you will agree with me that this is a huge milestone, even though it technically isn't one according to the baby books. This means I get to have two hours of my day back. This means no more back pains from sitting on the floor. Break out the confetti, this calls for a celebration! Who's with me? :)
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I know I will.

School Closing & Emergency Procedure Information
Severe Weather Closings
Occasionally, the District is forced to close schools due to inclement weather or an emergency situation.
In general, Wauwatosa Public Schools will not be closed due to weather in the winter unless there is a Winter Weather Warning - this may include a Wind Chill Warning, Blizzard Warning, Winter Storm Warning, etc. - determined by the National Weather Service.
We will not cancel school for Winter Storm Advisories. To see how the National Weather Service determines the difference, click HERE.
According to the National Weather Service wind chill chart, it is safe to be outside for short periods of time with proper clothing at -17 temp/wind chill. Most of our school principals use -5 temp/wind chill as the cut-off as to when we keep students in for recess.
In the event a Winter Storm Warning is issued, a decision to close school will be made no later than 6 a.m. Our school closing notification procedure is as follows:
- Parents and staff will receive a notification via an automated phone call through BlackBoard, an email notification, and a text alert if a mobile phone is listed in their emergency contact info.
- Notifications will be posted on our District website - www.wauwatosaschools.org, as well as on our social media pages (Facebook and Twitter).
Additionally, this notification will also be shared with local radio stations and the following TV affiliates:
The timing of the decision to close the schools is influenced by the severity, intensity, and movement of a storm center. Radio and TV stations are contacted prior to 5:45 a.m., if possible, about school closing decisions. Final decisions on school closings will be made no later than 6 a.m. Superintendent Phil Ertl will generate Blackboard Connect calls to all staff and families with notification of the closing.

UPDATE November 2017Defence and STEM
The Playford Trust works with the Department of State Development and the Defence Teaming Centre to deliver the Defence Honours Scholarship and Defence and STEM Internship Programs.
The students chosen to participate work on real-world projects and gain valuable industry experience. Their career and employment prospects also can be significantly enhanced, as this blog, posted by the Department of State Development in June explains… Read more
2017 awards night
The photo on the right was taken at the June 2017 awards ceremony when 24 students from SA's three public universities were presented scholarships and internships by Minister for Defence Industries, the Hon Martin Hamilton-Smith.
The successful Defence Honours scholarship recipients are pictured here with the Minister and the Hon Dean Brown AO, Chairman of the Playford Trust.
Importantly, the awards night also recognised industry sponsors who generously support the scholarships and internships programs. They include Boeing Defence Australia, Rheinmetall Electronics, Lockheed Martin Australia, BAE Systems and ASC Pty Ltd.
Entrepreneurial Masterclass
Defence and STEM students attended a five-session masterclass facilitated by Mr Dan Smith, State Manager of US-based MassChallenge. They heard from presenters involved in the Bridge to MassChallenge 'boot camp' program held last year and from young entrepreneurs building their companies.
The final masterclass was held at Techstars Adelaide, where students were inspired by some of the startups going through the global accelerator program.
John Makestas, one of two past Playford Trust Scholars invited to attend, found the masterclass 'inspiring, helpful and very informative'. John was awarded the SA Power Networks/Playford Trust Scholarship in 2015. Having completed Electrical and Electronic Engineering with Computer Science he now works as a software engineer with Saab.
John learned 'there are proven, effective strategies that can go a long way to ensuring the success of a business. Making the most of your network, putting thought into your business model, following good business practices and presenting effectively are all crucial to a sustainable, profitable venture.
'Coming from a primarily technical background, I had little knowledge of these areas. The Masterclass opened my eyes to some of the issues involved and helped me see that starting my own business – something I've always dreamed about but have seen as too risky a proposition – is actually possible.'

Vitamin K2 May Bring New Hope to Parkinson's Patients
A Belgian neuroscientist has succeeded in undoing the effect of one of the genetic defects that leads to Parkinson's using Vitamin K2.
"It appears from our research that administering Vitamin K2 could possibly help patients with Parkinson's. However, more work needs to be done to understand this better," said Patrik Verstreken, who is associated with The Flanders Institute for Biotechnology and KU Leuven. He also worked with colleagues at Northern Illinois University on the research, which has been published online in the journal Science.
Verstreken uses a factory to explain what happens with Parkinson's patients: "If we looked at cells as small factories, then mitochondria would be the power plants responsible for supplying the energy for their operation. In Parkinson's patients, the activity of mitochondria and the transport of electrons have been disrupted, resulting in the mitochondria no longer producing sufficient energy for the cell. This has major consequences as the cells in certain parts of the brain will start dying off, disrupting communication between neurons. The results are the typical symptoms of Parkinson's: Lack of movement (akinesia), tremors and muscle stiffness.
While the exact cause of Parkinson's is not known, scientists have been able to pinpoint several genetic defects found in Parkinson's patients, including the so-called PINK1 and Parkin mutations, which both lead to reduced mitochondrial activity, the researcher said.
For their research, Verstreken and his team used fruit flies with a genetic defect in PINK1 or Parkin that is similar to the one associated with Parkinson's. They found that the flies with a PINK1 or Parkin mutation lost their ability to fly.
Upon closer examination, they discovered that the mitochondria in these flies were defective, just as in Parkinson's patients. Because of this they generated less intracellular energy – energy the insects needed to fly. When the flies were given Vitamin K2, the energy production in their mitochondria was restored and the insects' ability to fly improved. The researchers determined that the energy production was restored because the Vitamin K2 had improved electron transport in the mitochondria.
Because defective mitochondria are also found in Parkinson's patients with a PINK1 or Parkin mutation, Vitamin K2 potentially offers hope for a new treatment for Parkinson's, the researcher concludes.

The Outlines of a Budget Deal Are Obvious : But it requires the kind of real compromise not offered by Obama 1.0 (KARL ROVE, 11/28/12, WSJ)
With a big assist from Ohio, the president clinched a second term after a tough fight. In his victory statement, he pledged to "continue our economic progress" and see "our servicemen and women . . . come home." There were high hopes and a belief he had a mandate.The year was 2004, and the president was George W. Bush.The turbulence began almost immediately. Mr. Bush ran on Social Security reform. But in the election aftermath, no congressional Democrat supported it while many Senate and House Republicans were eager to see the issue go away.Mr. Bush's comprehensive immigration reform floundered as congressional Democrats, especially Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, did in the measure. Some of its supporters, including then-Sen. Barack Obama, voted for amendments that gutted the reform.While Mr. Bush campaigned on a platform of winning the Iraq war, after the 2004 election many Democrats--including Mr. Obama--still tried to defund the war, even opposing a debt-ceiling increase in an attempt to starve its funding.The lesson? A president doesn't get his way in a second term nearly as easily as he does in his first term.

For Healthy Living
Last week, I wrote a blog about the commitment of the YMCA to strengthening the community. We do this through Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility. Remember, our goal is to make our community a place that people want to live. If we reduce negative influences by providing helpful and wholesome programming and support, we, as a community, win.
1. Individual Coaching – Take a walk into our wellness spaces and you see this happening all the time. Whether there is a personal trainer, group exercise instructor, or one of our other staff providing coaching or support, all of this leads to a healthier lifestyle. Think about how many treadmills are in a basement right now being used to hang laundry on. We need to be in community with each other, even if it's a simple nod and a smile to the guy that you can't remember his name who always works out on the machine next to you….
2. LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA – A program that is near and dear to my heart. Talk about helping people living a healthier lifestyle! This program is set up to support cancer survivors in their quest to return to the normalcy of their lives. After treatment is done, and with it comes the cliff of vanishing medical support, the YMCA steps in and provides survivors with a free membership, a chance to bond with other survivors, and a program to help them regain their health. I have seen this program in action for many years and the positive stories that we hear can choke you up. Healthy Living at its finest! Click here to learn more about LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA.
3. Children in Poverty – The YMCA even works on this, in a healthy living sort of way, which most of our community may or may not know about. Each day we help feed children in need. Through several grants and partnerships, we serve meals to children, especially each summer, who otherwise would go hungry. If you are hungry, there is no way you can live a healthy lifestyle. In fact, we probably see other negative behaviors arise because of this issue. At the Y, we make sure that food is available, tummies are full, and that health is supported.
And you thought it was just about treadmills!
See you at the Y!
Steve Smith, President

At York Guns we're always doing our best to get young people into the shooting sports.
To do this we support small clubs and societies from York and the surrounding area. It's why we're proud to sponsor the University of York Clay Pigeon Shooting Club and support them in their endeavours. This included, most recently, their annual York Cup competition.
Graced with glorious weather and excellent attendance, with representatives from Hull, Nottingham, Lancaster and Durham Universities. Twenty-four shooters from York, including Alumni, attended, therefore making this well organised and challenging competition a wholehearted success. It is a testament to the genuine care and dedication of the organisers, and to the enthusiasm of young people in our sport today.
As a 75 Bird sporting competition, capped off with a 100-bird team flush, there was something for everyone.
A hand-picked variety of targets provide a superb mix and tests of different skills, from quick loading to technical shooting.
The day also had something for gun connoisseurs, too. University competitions host shooters from a range of backgrounds, abilities and people with a range of tastes, and therefore provide a unique range of guns. Ancient Browning Auto-5s made an appearance. Greener GPs and Remington 1100s saw action. Numerous Mirokus, Brownings, Berettas and even the odd Mossberg that have previously graced our shop floor proved effective on the sporting layout.
The University was well represented in the standings, with York Alumni taking High Gun and Best Flush Team.
Nottingham University took a well-deserved win on the 75-bird sporting layout. Their President Georgina Barratt also shot superbly to win Ladies' High Gun.
Prizes were provided by the University Club, with York Guns donating a pair of Howard Leight Electronic Ear Defenders as the team prize. It makes us proud to see so many participating in and enjoying shooting in a safe, professional manner. These people are the future of our sport and we hope to see more successes in the future.

Thank you for the links. I do have these documents and I have followed the Quick Start guide for Linux and I believe I have the latest SD card image programmed. It shows that I am running Linux version 4.1.15-2.0.0 from Sept 16, 2016.
My problem remains that the modprobe command returns but gives no feedback or error code when you run it. I also ran the suggested insmod command, but it cannot load the bcmdhd.ko file, because the "wireless" sub-directory does not exist inside the "net" directory.
1) When I look at the startup log, I see:
reading imx6sl-evk-btwifi.dtb
This indicates that the setenv commands did take effect.
2) Something is odd with the wifi initialization though:
CFG80211-ERROR) wl_setup_wiphy : Registering Vendor80211)
wl_create_event_handler(): thread:wl_event_handler:5e started
CFG80211-ERROR) wl_event_handler : tsk Enter, tsk = 0xa850143c

CFG80211-ERROR) wl_event_handler : was terminated
wl_destroy_event_handler(): thread:wl_event_handler:5e terminated OK
3) During init I see what could be regulator measurements that are not OK:

anatop_regulator: probe of 20c8000.anatop:regulator-vddsoc@140 failed with error -22
4) I also see
EXT3-fs (mmcblk1p2): error: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (240)
EXT2-fs (mmcblk1p2): error: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (244)
EXT4-fs (mmcblk1p2): recovery complete
5) And
Populating dev cache
tar: dev/disk/by-label/Bootx20imx6sl: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
udev-cache: update failed!
I am not sure which of the above errors are critical for the Type ZP module's operation.
Thank you.

The problem was that I was given the 4.1.15-2 image for the SD card. The 3.14.52 version of the SD card image, which is the one described in the quick Start Guide version 3.0, does actually work.

Walmart wants suppliers to cut 1 gigaton of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030
If you are a supplier and the world's largest retailer says 'jump' – what do you do? Well Walmart has kindly asked its suppliers to help then reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by one gigaton by 2030 as part of its science-based emissions-reduction plan.
Walmart has been championing company-wide sustainability initiatives for more than a decade and the new GHG reduction plan – called Project Gigaton by the retailer – is the latest in a string of actions.
Project Gigaton was launched at the company's annual Milestone Summit held on April 19th when they launched a sustainability platform with a new emissions-reduction toolkit to help suppliers reduce their GHG emissions.
Walmart has identified energy, agriculture, waste, packaging, deforestation, product use and design as areas in which to focus its climate change efforts and invites participating suppliers to focus on one or more of these.
The toolkit has been developed by Walmart in partnership with NGOs such as the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the Environmental Defense Fund as well as other organisations. In doing so the retailer has set out the business case for why suppliers should consider signing up for Project Gigaton.
Walmart has stated that it aims to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 18% by 2025. The retailer will also be working on reducing its 'carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions from upstream and downstream Scope 3 sources by one billion tones (a gigaton) between 2015-2030.
Walmart has been setting ambitious sustainability goals. For example, it is already one of the US's leading commercial solar and on-site renewable energy users and achieves around 25% of its global energy needs from renewable sources. By doubling the efficiency of its US vehicle fleet between 2005 and 2015 the company saved nearly a $1 billion (compared to a 2005 baseline).
Read a full review of Walmart's latest global sustainability report in Issue 2 of The Food Sustainability Report out in May.

August 11, 2002, Section 2, Page 25Buy Reprints
WHEN Hassan Hakmoun played New York last month, he needed two gigs -- one for the traditional music of his homeland, Morocco, and one for all the ideas he has about expanding that tradition. Since he arrived in the United States 15 years ago, he has electrified it, joined it with rock and funk, bent it toward Arabic and Indian pop and cooled it down with reggae.
''When I search my brain for music,'' he said, ''I find the rhythm and beats to play other styles of music in my traditional background. It's like my soul. If it's gone, I'm gone.''
Mr. Hakmoun is a master of Gnawa music, a style of Moroccan devotional music performed in all-night healing-trance ceremonies. Rooted in West Africa, it was carried north to Morocco via the slave trade centuries ago. Gnawa music is played on a sintir, a long-necked, three-stringed lute, and accompanied by castanets. It combines call-and-response African chant, wailing Arabic melodic lines and a rattling syncopation that is akin to flamenco.
Born in Marrakesh to a father who was in the Moroccan Army and a mother who was a Gnawan healer, Mr. Hakmoun absorbed the traditional music as a child and by his early teens was playing in Jemaa el Fna, the Times Square of Marrakesh.
He came to America in 1987, at age 23, for a concert at Lincoln Center and quickly made a name for himself as a rising force in world music. He formed a Gnawa-rock fusion band, Zahar, signed to Peter Gabriel's Real World label and began a remarkable series of collaborations with Western musicians like the Kronos Quartet and Don Cherry, using Gnawa's simplicity and vaguely bluesy African roots to meld with rock and jazz.
''What sets Hassan apart from most other Moroccan musicians is his willingness to come to the Western and Arab musicians and try to adapt his playing to them,'' said Philip Schuyler, a professor of ethnomusicology at the University of Washington whose area of expertise is North Africa and the Middle East. ''With people like Randy Weston and Pharoah Sanders, the Gnawa are just being used as a kind of base on which other musicians can do their thing.''
Now 38, Mr. Hakmoun has just released his first album in nine years, ''The Gift'' (Triloka), which stretches the Moroccan sound further than anything he had done before, incorporating Arabic music and even sugary American pop. The first song on the album, ''Syada Ana,'' is a sprightly, funky hymn to a saint that is based on a traditional melody but played with electric guitar and a bouncy bass line -- similar to the trance-funk he first attempted a decade ago with Zahar, but lighter.
In June Mr. Hakmoun married Paula Cole, the American pop singer, whom he met while on tour with Mr. Gabriel in 1994. The couple set up a studio at their home in Bel Air, Calif., and recorded a straight pop duet, ''This Gift,'' with top-dollar Los Angeles studio musicians. It's a sweet song -- ''With this gift, I'll keep surviving,'' they sing in harmony about love or music -- but without much connection to Moroccan music, it's the least effective track on the album.
''This Gift'' is not the only crossover pop track on the album. There's also ''Layla Layla,'' a Saudi hit from the 70's that aims to strike a nostalgic chord with fans of Arabic pop. It's played with big swells of Arabic strings and punctuated by electronic zaps, and Mr. Hakmoun sings it like a true vamp. Other tracks, like ''Lala Aisha'' and ''Hamu,'' achieve a spellbinding fusion of Moroccan and Arabic sounds as Mr. Hakmoun's sintir duels with Arabic violins and clanging Moroccan castanets push the mix into passionate crescendos.
Crossover can be a dirty word, but not for Mr. Hakmoun. ''The big idea is to get people to listen to us,'' he said in a recent interview at a quiet Moroccan restaurant in the West Village -- quiet because the restaurant's owner, an old friend of Mr. Hakmoun's from Morocco, closed the place down for lunch. ''I use keyboards, drums, guitar to introduce people to what we do with traditional instruments.''
AND pop is nothing new for him. ''Stevie Wonder, Miles Davis, Bob Marley -- these are the kind of people that I listened to in Morocco,'' he said. ''The European musicians that I listened to were the Police, the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin.''
Michael Jackson, he says, ''was my hero.''
''He was only four or five years older than me, and I saw the opportunities he had with his family,'' Mr. Hakmoun added. ''I grew up with the same kind of family in Morocco, and that showed me that there is opportunity in America as an artist.''
Another of Mr. Hakmoun's current projects makes an even more ambitious cultural connection. On a trip to Brazil in the spring of 2000, he found himself jamming with some of the players from Olodum, the famous samba group from Salvador da Bahia. Once they began playing, all the musicians were struck by the rhythmic similarities between samba and Moroccan music.
''They were freaking out when they heard Gnawa music,'' he said of the Brazilians. ''And to me the Brazilian style sounds like African music. It was like uniting a family with music.''
He gathered some Moroccan musicians and recorded a number of songs with Olodum in two sessions in Salvador and São Paulo. He plans to do some electronic tweaking on the tapes and release an album in 2004.
Next on the agenda is a trip to West Africa, to explore the source of Gnawa music. ''I know that's where my roots came from originally,'' he said. ''In Mali and Senegal, and all over West Africa, they play the same kind of music I play. It's like searching for a lost family. I want to find my origin.''

Circular Reasoning Explained
Posted by Jeff Id on October 18, 2010
Dr. Roy Spencer has in interesting explanation regarding CO2 as the only real driver of greenhouse warming.
Does CO2 Drive the Earth's Climate System? Comments on the Latest NASA GISS Paper
There was a very clever paper published in Science this past week by Lacis, Schmidt, Rind, and Ruedy that uses the GISS climate model (ModelE) in an attempt to prove that carbon dioxide is the main driver of the climate system.
This paper admits that its goal is to counter the oft-quoted claim that water vapor is the main greenhouse gas in our atmosphere. (They provide a 1991 Lindzen reference as an example of that claim).

My metaphor from Andy Revkin's DotEarth AGU thread in 2/08: The climate modelers are trying to keep their models on circular tracks on the ceiling.
October 18, 2010 at 12:40 pm
I don't know why Roy Spencer is having a difficult time distinguishing between the state (clouds presently have a net cooling effect) versus incremental change (predicted positive feedback due to added CO2).
October 18, 2010 at 1:12 pm
2-Reading the Lacis et al paper, it seems like they are ones who think that their model shows that the mean state is determined by the same factors involved in change: the feedback and forcing.
The truth is that an experiment like that of Lacis et al would be of little value even if their model was very good. The change in state from an atmosphere with CO2 and without (and back) is radically different from anything that has occurred or will occur in the recent history and probably distant future of the Earth, except perhaps for the effect of the Sun going Nova.
October 18, 2010 at 2:08 pm
"The truth is that an experiment like that of Lacis et al.."
Et Tu Brute???
October 18, 2010 at 2:15 pm
4-Hehe, yes, poor choice of words. By "experiment" I meant that this was a "test" of how the model behaves. Not an experiment in the typical scientific sense, more of a model exercise.
October 18, 2010 at 2:48 pm
Ah but to them a computer model run is an experiment. The idea of experiments in the real world is outwith their experience from years of sitting in their air-conditioned offices fiddling at the keyboard.
October 18, 2010 at 3:24 pm
The whole exercise struck me as a bit absurd. First, for making the assumption that the model predictions mean anything in terms of the Earth's behavior, and second, for examining conditions which are bizarrely different from anything that we are talking about WTR CO2 increases. The real issue is (as always with the models) if assumptions like constant relative humidity with rising temperature are realistic or not. The lack of a measured tropical tropospheric hot spot and conflicting weather balloon humidity data sure suggest the models are on very shaky ground.
Will doubling CO2 lead to vast amplification due to water vapor? Maybe, I doubt it. But I am sure climate modelers don't know for sure either.
October 18, 2010 at 3:43 pm
(cross posted at Roy Spencer:)
"If they had forced the model with a water vapor change, it would have done the same thing." [resulting in a large temperature response]
As Andy Lacis said in response, the expectation would be that the the climate would soon revert to its initial state, though I'm looking forward to see this tested (if it hasn't yet been done?)
On the notion of the climate being able to change (e.g. warm) all by itself, without being 'forced': I can imagine two scenarios:
– The warming is balanced by cooling elsewhere (eg ocean, cryosphere, etc)
– The warming causes more energy (in the form of radiation) to leave the earth' system, and as a consequence there will a negative energy imbalance at the top of the atmosphere. This will act to cool down the climate again.
Both scenario's are highly unlikely to be playing a role right now: Warming (or its effects) is found in all segments of the climate system, and there is a positive energy balance at the TOA.
October 18, 2010 at 7:09 pm
Why did Lacis et al not start by removing nitrogen, oxygen as second from the atmosphere? Because these two gasses do not influence climate on this planet by forcings?
Try to model that, you dumbwits.
After all, under these cicumstances, life as we know it would not exist. A virgin planet.
October 18, 2010 at 7:22 pm
Geez guys, get over the use of the word "experiment" in context with a model run.
It is an experiment of sorts… a "numerical experiment."
Suppose you have a detailed model that (you think) describes the physics.
And you have an analytic approximate formulation that you think describes how the detailed model behaves. And your colleague has a competing formulation.
How do you test which of the approximate formulations better describe the data, except by numerical experiment?
As the word is used here, it is precisely the same usage as one would use for a physical experiment (or a chemistry experiment, or a biology experiment, etc.)
If you don't understand why a word is used in a particular context, it just may be because you are a science noob. 😉
October 18, 2010 at 7:24 pm
Let me rephrase this slightly:
How do you test which of the approximate formulations better describe the model output, except by numerical experiment?
October 18, 2010 at 8:08 pm
The 'experiment' tests the question, "Can we force simulated CO2 to drive our model?"
Yep, they can! 😯
October 18, 2010 at 9:20 pm
Don't mean to nitpick my friend, but you said:
"Suppose you have a detailed model that (you think) describes the physics." OK
"And you have an analytic approximate formulation that you think describes how the detailed model behaves. And your colleague has a competing formulation." OK
"How do you test which of the approximate formulations better describe the data, except by numerical experiment?" What?
What data? You said your formulation and your colleague's formulation describe how the MODEL behaves. What is the data in this case? The predictions of the model, I assume. This exercise does not address the validity of the model, only the validity of your formulation of the model.
Am I missing something here?

RB wrote: "I don't know why Roy Spencer is having a difficult time distinguishing between the state (clouds presently have a net cooling effect) versus incremental change (predicted positive feedback due to added CO2)."
First, why do you think that? Second, are you suggesting that the "net cooling effect" of clouds will become a "positive feedback" due to more CO2, or are you talking about some other feedback?
October 18, 2010 at 11:16 pm
It is absurd to regard a model run as an experiment of the climate. A run of your model is just a test of your model/code.
When I was modeling physical inputs to predict specific real world events (with realtime life/death consequences), it was always clear to me that my models are just an approximation of the real world and not the real world. When you run your GCM models, you aren't telling me anything about the real climate, you are just telling me how you have programmed your model.
In January (http://www.nature.com/climate/2010/1002/full/climate.2010.06.html), Kevin Trenberth had some interesting comments about GCMs (global climate models):
"So here is my prediction: the uncertainty in AR5's climate predictions and projections will be much greater than in previous IPCC reports, primarily because of the factors noted above. This could present a major problem for public understanding of climate change. Is it not a reasonable expectation that as knowledge and understanding increase over time, uncertainty should decrease? But while our knowledge of certain factors does increase, so does our understanding of factors we previously did not account for or even recognize."
The confidence intervals for GCMs are getting wider, not narrower. While this is a step forward in honesty, it is letting us know that even the GCM modelers are admitting that the science is not settled and that the GCMs are a work in progress and not an accurate model of the climate that can be used for experiments.

Steve Fitzpatrick:
What data? You said your formulation and your colleague's formulation describe how the MODEL behaves. What is the data in this case? The predictions of the model, I assume. This exercise does not address the validity of the model, only the validity of your formulation of the model.
See the follow up comment. What I meant to say was "model output" (I was using "data" in a more loose sense… as in result of a numerical experiment, but this can be confusing).
The purpose of analytic formulations is they provide insight into the underlying processes of the science. The more detailed models are meant to describe as exactly as possible the underlying physics, but at the cost of loss of all insight into why the assumed physics behaves the way it does.
In either case, you need physical measurement to validate theory. (To be clear, the theory is the same regardless of how you solve for a particular solution.)
What approximate analytic models do, through illumination of the underlying workings of the detailed model, is provide a method by which we may develop a testable phenomenology. It's really pretty simple: We rarely if ever know the initial conditions and boundary conditions well enough to solve a detailed model and compare it directly to measurement (there are exceptions, but by and large this is the case). So what we look for instead are more processed results (amplitude of response to a tone) that exhibit predictable behavior as some independent quantity (e.g., frequency) gets varied.
What the more exact treatment of the physics does is allow us to validate our approximations of the underlying theory without having to first test with experimental measurement. After all, if the approximation fails to accurately capture the underlying theory, there is no surprise when it also fails to describe (presumably) future experimental measurements as well.
October 19, 2010 at 12:43 am
From the Trenberth paper cited by Steve Koch #15
'…The timescale dictated by the IPCC process brings with it the risk of prematurely exposing problems with climate models as we learn how to develop them'.
How can any problem be exposed prematurely?
I naively thought that the sooner they were found the better.
Is this a small window into the way some of these people think?
October 19, 2010 at 3:29 am
This is what Professor Michael Kelly said in his input to the Oxburgh review of the CRU emails:
"I take real exception to having simulation runs described as experiments (without at least the qualification of 'computer' experiments). It does a disservice to centuries of real experimentation and allows simulations output to be considered as real data. This last is a very serious matter, as it can lead to the idea that real 'real data' might be wrong simply because it disagrees with the models! That is turning centuries of science on its head."

Expecting computer models to prove a scientific theory, instead of using physical observation, – is nothing short of intellectual and cultural decadence of the first order.
Models can be very useful for modelling well understood and well constrained engineering systems – but weather and climate – come on…
Comment from a Professional Computer Scientist…
October 19, 2010 at 5:04 am
18 Phillip Bratby. Might you please quote p 81? My version is not numbered.
At the risk of a snip for repeating a bit on Bishop Hill's blog, the difference between traditional science and current climate science is stark. I attribute this to the older scientists being more intelligent, or through more intelligent selection criteria for promotion.
"Here is a snapshot of how it was done in the 1930s.
"James Chadwick was interned in Germany during WWI. In January 1932 he read a Curie paper mentioning a heavy particle. Immediately, he built apparatus resembling a discarded piece of plumbing and 3 weeks later announced the discovery of the neutron. This led to a publication – Chadwick, Sir James, "Possible Existence of a Neutron", Nature, p. 312 (Feb. 27, 1932). A few evenings later he lectured to colleagues about this discovery of world importance, which led to a Nobel Prize in Physics in 1935. He had been elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1927.
Why mention this?
1. Chadwick suffered personal discomfort and the Curies (Snr) death from their work.
2. Chadwick did his experiments before writing a note to Nature.
3. Chadwick told his colleagues of the work within weeks.
4. The Royal Society did not appear to influence Chadwick's work.
5. There was no implication of impropriety levelled at Chadwick's work.
6. The work was done at very low expense. Supercomputers did not exist.
7. His Nobel Prize has since been described as in the top 100 order of merit.
8. There was no serious challenge to the validity of his experiment or results.
9. Cockcroft and Walton built a rudimentary accelerator and split the atom on 14 April 1932, confirming Chadwick's work 4 months after his idea."
Now what's this style of talk that says 'the risk of prematurely exposing problems with climate models as we learn how to develop them'? Can one imagine Chadwick's response to such words?
Anti-pagiarism note: The Chadwick story is told more fully by P.D. Smith, 'Doomsday Men', Allen Lane publ., 2007, whose guidance I have used with acknowledgement here.

15-"It is absurd to regard a model run as an experiment of the climate. A run of your model is just a test of your model/code."
Oh, I completely agree. In fact, this is exactly what I said in addendum to my "experiment" statement (see comment 5)
Model runs are NOT experiments on the REAL system, they are experiments performed on the MODEL system. They tell you how the MODEL behaves, in the same way that an experiment on reality tells you how REALITY behaves. That is all I meant when using the word "experiment", nothing more, nothing less.
October 20, 2010 at 4:37 am
never encountered solving a series of equations described as an experiment before unless it was testing whether the person or machine was capable.
An experiment is where you actually try something because you are at least doubtful that you CAN model it. Climate modelers have it backwards. They CLAIM they can model the climate reasonably, but, haven't run the "experiments" yet to prove it!!
October 20, 2010 at 4:42 am
"As the word is used here, it is precisely the same usage as one would use for a physical experiment (or a chemistry experiment, or a biology experiment, etc.)"
We can screw up the formulation of a physical experiment, but, it will do what the laws of physics tells it to no matter what we THINK we are doing or not doing. There are still things to be learned from observing what happens as it is REALITY!
If we screw up the set up of a mathematical formulation there is no reality there to observe and learn anything from.
October 20, 2010 at 4:45 am
what i am trying to say is that you have to have a proven climate model before you can start adjusting things to find out what will happen under other conditions. Fiddling with something that only vaguely replicates something else gives no assurance of any usefulness as you do not know how the errors will affect the outcome as you do not know what the errors are or have any kind of quantification of them.
October 20, 2010 at 7:09 am
"assumptions like constant relative humidity with rising temperature are realistic or no"
Bit late, cos I've been talking about models on other threads. But GCM's do not assume constant relative humidity or rising temperatures. Insofar as those are true, they are results, not assumptions.
October 20, 2010 at 5:06 pm
#16, Carrick;
Which amount to saying that the models are suggestive speculations that could spark actual investigation resulting in a testable hypothesis. To quote G&T, "Never forget that climatology is not even a field, much less a science:
"Rather, the atmospheric greenhouse mechanism is a conjecture [= preliminary guess without evidence, which may lead to a hypothesis with pass-fail proposals, which may eventually qualify as a theory], …"
