On Friday evening, July 4th, Monticello Raceway will host 2 year old pacing fillies in both the New York Sire Stakes and the Excelsior Series. Four NYSS events, along with six Excelsior's, will offer over $174,000 to the owners of the fillies most of whom will be making their first pari-mutuel starts. And when the races are completed a Fabulous fireworks display will be presented.
The NYSS events mark the first of eight legs for the freshmen fillies at various New York racetracks en route to the $225,000 Final at Yonkers Raceway on September 13. Along the way the competing fillies will earn points in each leg, depending on the placements, with the top eight point recipients earning a berth in the rich finale.
The majority of the entrants are daughters of American Ideal, Art Major, Rock N Roll Heaven and Bettor's Delight although an array of other New York sires progeny dot the 10- race program that features only New York-bred stakes fillies.
Granted, it's hard to expound on any of these fillies since they are in the infancy of their racing careers but some already have shown signs of brilliance.
Take Bob Horowitz's She's Heavenly, a daughter of Rock N Roll Heaven who'll come into this contest off a 1:55.1 triumph in a baby race at the Meadowlands on June 28. She'll be driven by Mike Lachance.
Or, how about Jimmy Takter's undefeated Zip Code Envy, another Rock N Roll filly who has won all three of her baby races at the Meadowlands with her 1:56.1 clocking on June 27 the best of the three. She's owned by Christina Takter, John Fielding, Jim Fielding and Brixton Medical Ab and will be handled by Yannick Gingris.
Then there's the Bettor's Delight filly, Bettor N Better, from the powerful Ron Burke barn. She comes in off a 1:56.3 victory in a baby race over Gaitway Farm's mile oval on June 23. She's owned by Our Horse Cents Stable and Blue Chip Bloodstock and will have Jimmy Morrill Jr at the controls.
However, the last race on the card, a$27,750 NYSS, has by far the strongest field with seven of the eight pacing fillies winners in non-wagering events led by Ronald Mersky's First Delight, a Bettor's Delight filly who is three-for-three over Saratoga's double oval with her 2:01.2 twelve-length triumph in her last start on June 27 the best. Cheryl McGovern trains her and Mike Lachance will drive.
Two others in that contest are also undefeated thus far both with two baby race victories. Lady Beth, a Kenneth J filly owned by Ken Jacobs, Slo Down Stable, Ed Namiotka, Jr and Vincent Tangredi, has two consecutive wins for trainer Sam Serianni, the fastest a 1:58 clocking at Vernon Downs on June 20. Jimmy Morrill, Jr. will do the driving.
And the Ron Burke -trained Sassa Hanover is also two-for-two with a 1:58.1 record on a 'good' track at Gaitway Farm on June 16. The daughter of Rock N Roll Heaven, is owned by Burke Racing Stable, Panhellenic Stable, Weaver Buscemi and Lawrence Karr and will be driven by Jimmy Morrill, Jr.
Post time for the 10-race card will be at 5:30pm and 20 minutes after the final race fans will be treated to the raceway's 45th annual fireworks display.

June's anomaly should be extremely disconcerting for everyone.https://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/news/20180716/ The mean temperature anomalies of +0.77°C for both June 1998 and June 2018 cannot be distinguished from each other given the uncertainty of the measurement. However, June 1998 was exceptionally warm at the time due to the then prevailing strong El Niño conditions — about 0.33°C above the trend line of the late 1990s. In contrast, the current El Niño phase is considered neutral. In combination with the ongoing YoY increases in atmospheric CO2/CH4 concentrations in an ENSO neutral phase even more so. The other data point I'd like to see now is the ocean acidity growth.
I'm more of a lurker than a poster, but the CO2 overlay on nullschool.net seems particularly concerning. Moderately high concentrations in the southern hemisphere make since, as it is winter there and less CO2 is absorbed in colder temperatures. Nonetheless the high readings banding around the upper and middle latitudes in the northern hemisphere seem unusual. Anyone with greater expertise is welcome to chip in here with a logical explanation, but I've not seen this before. https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/chem/surface/level/overlay=co2sc/orthographic=-164.03,52.77,553
Can someone or northsylvania help by checking that please as I am not experienced with the site. Clicking on the display gives co2 ppmv for that location in a small green circle -- but the darker brown areas give lower ppm values than the lighter colours. eg arctic is 430 ppm and mid canada is 377 ppm - Is that right?

We're coming off a moderate La Nina. Atmospheric temperature response lags ENSO by several months (at least 2-3 months generally), so the GMSTs we have now still have Nina influence (see 2015 for example, where significant GMST increases didn't really start until September of that year).This year and last year were dominated by a strong Walker Cell and were ENSO negative:2016 2.5 2.2 1.7 1.0 0.5 0.0 -0.3 -0.6 -0.7 -0.7 -0.7 -0.62017 -0.3 -0.1 0.1 0.3 0.4 0.4 0.2 -0.1 -0.4 -0.7 -0.9 -1.02018 -0.9 -0.8 -0.6 -0.4 -0.1

The BOM threshold for La Nina was not met. While the BOM and NCEP definitions of threshold are different the main difference was that the measurement of nino 3.4 recorded by BOM were not as cool. I would call last year borderline cool neutral/weak La Nina and not moderate. During 2000/2001 nino 3.4 values were cooler, and for longer, and GISS temps during 2001 were closer to the el nino dominated 2002-2007 years than they were to the clearly La Nina dominated 1999 and 2000 years.Lags are highly variable, and may be longer for strong events and shorter for weak events. Given the weakness of the recent event, and the fact we are now well onto the way to warm ENSO values I think current temperatures more likely reflect a neutral ENSO influence.
It's well established that the lag time is really between 2 and 5 months (papers galore on this topic). I was being generous/conservative by saying 2-3 months, just to emphasize the point.
Quote from: Csnavywx on July 20, 2018, 07:15:04 AMIt's well established that the lag time is really between 2 and 5 months (papers galore on this topic). I was being generous/conservative by saying 2-3 months, just to emphasize the point.Yes typical ENSO lag is something like 2 to 5 months. But it varies substantially on at least a seasonal basis. Development of nino 3.4 is often relatively steady from SH Autumn or winter, and typically peaks in Dec or Jan, and then decays reasonably steadily until next SH Autumn or Winter. In contrast global temperature shows zero response until October -lots of lag- , but then grows very quickly through Nov and Dec to peak at January - almost zero lag. It then drops a little early in the year but holds until May or June and then drops quite quickly so that September or October are pretty close to 0 ENSO influence in most years.And from the data I've looked at I suspect bigger lag for stronger events, with 97/98 having the slowest and largest temperature response I've seen, and a couple short/small events below threshold el nino/la nina threshold coinciding with temp response at no noticeable lag. It does makes sense when you consider that inertia likely plays a role in the lag. The bigger the ENSO event, the longer it takes the climate to return to normal.
So, I've added these elements to the mix of factors by which el Niño can influence global temperature. The best model I've found so far (there's a lot more to test) involves a linear el Niño effect which lags only 2 months behind the el Niño itself, a nonlinear el Niño effect which lags 10 months, and a seasonal effectiveness of the el Niño impact. In agreement with the research of Kosaka and Xie, the el Niño impact is strongest in northern-hemisphere winter and weakest in northern-hemisphere summer.
My mistake Oren, thanks for your reply. I still can't fathom why Arctic area generally is not showing warmer than normal compared to base period. Should of posted in silly questions!
Temperatures dipped during the first World War, rise accelerated just before and during WWII, and briefly dipped again after WWII. Lots of CO2 emissions in motorised warfare (war itself and industrial production ramped up for war materials)? Interesting?Surely the bit on the graph that matters today is the 60 years from the mid 1960's to today.
The running 12-month GISS LOTI still hasn't dropped below the 30-year linear trend. Now at or above the trend line for over 3 years. If there wasn't a step up from 2014-2016 El Niño we would have likely dropped further down by now.
Plain Language SummaryChanges in climate variability strongly affect the overall impacts of climate change. In this work, increases in the intensity of heat waves and wildfire driven by El Nino/La Nina in a business‐as‐usual climate scenario are identified in recently produced climate simulations spanning the 20th and 21st centuries. The intensification in temperature extremes occurs mainly over land regions and independently of changes in eastern Pacific sea surface temperature variability. It is argued that land atmosphere feedbacks are likely to play a key role in the simulated amplification, with relevance to impacts such as heat waves and wildfire frequency.
Contemporary Global Warming placed in geological context.
According to these data, while the globe has warmed 1.1°C the Arctic has gone up by 3.5°C, a total rise 3.2 times as high.[...]
Quote from: wolfpack513 on August 29, 2018, 05:10:17 PMIf there wasn't a step up from 2014-2016 El NiñoBut there was. So there! There will be more of them too. You can bank on it no matter what the graphs show from one year to another.
If there wasn't a step up from 2014-2016 El Niño
Some time ago I downloaded some GISS data on temperature change at different latitudes. So at last I've got around to looking at it. See Graph below.The above average rise in the Arctic was not a surprise - but the Antarctic is a surprise - at least to me..
It almost looks like the Antarctic is doing the opposite of the Arctic. Any thoughts?
August GISS-LOTI came in at +0.77°C. The super Niño ended in May of 2016 and the running 12-month mean has just now made it back down to the 30-year trend. Global surface anomalies could take off any time now considering if +ENSO holds through this winter.

good things...
Well, if you have been following this almost-never-updated-anymore blog, you'll know I've had my share of bad luck and disasters over that past year or so.
So, in March, a few things went right. I got a job with the Alzheimer's Association and got a fabulous new puppy who is a mix of shepherd and
St. Bernard (we think). We named him Jake, after my husband's grandfather. He is a handful at 31 pounds at 14 weeks of age. He's doubled in size in the one month we've had him! He's a really happy-go-lucky little guy whose temperament fits in great with the other dogs.
Here's some pics of him:

Equity futures are higher this morning, with the dollar lower, bonds twisting lower for the fourth day in a row, oil higher, gold & silver higher, and food commodities mixed.
Our third and "final" look at Q2 GDP came in higher than expected, adjusted from +1.0% to 1.3% on the 1.2% expectation. Again, this is all nonsense as our GDP is vastly overstated. In fact even what they call "final," isn't really final, as it will be adjusted once more next year. Tiresome debunking the continuous flow of disinformation statistics – this one suffers mostly from counting credit creation as growth, as well as understating inflation which also overstates growth. For what it's worth, here's econocomplicit:
Economic growth for the second quarter ended up stronger than previously estimated but remained anemic. The Commerce Department's final estimate for second quarter GDP growth was bumped up to a rise of 1.3 percent annualized, compared to the prior estimate of 1.0 percent annualized and to first quarter growth of 0.4 percent. The median market forecast called for a 1.2 percent annualized gain.
Final sales of domestic product were revised to an annualized 1.6 percent from the previous estimate of 1.2 percent. Final sales to domestic purchasers were revised up to 1.3 percent from the second estimate of 1.1 percent annualized. By components, the most notable upward revisions were to nonresidential structures, PCEs, and exports.
Economy-wide inflation was revised up incrementally to 2.5 percent annualized, compared to the previous estimate of 2.4 percent and the first quarter rise of 2.5 percent. Analysts had projected a no revision number of 2.4 percent.
Overall, economic growth was very sluggish during the first half of 2011. More recent monthly data are very mixed but net suggest marginal strengthening at best for the third quarter.
Speaking of trumped data, Jobless Claims suddenly fell back below the 400k mark down to 391,000. Of course the prior week was revised higher, this time by 5k. Here's Econoguess:
It turns out Hurricane Irene may have elevated jobless claims all along. At least that's what the Labor Department is suddenly hinting at, attributing a giant 37,000 decline in initial claims in the September 24 week to state offices catching up with hurricane-related data. A Labor Department official also told Market News International that end-of-quarter factors are also coming into play as offices catch up on their work. Adjustment problems tied to calendar shifts may also be at play.
Initial claims totaled 391,000 in the week, far below Econoday's consensus for 420,000. The prior week is revised 5,000 higher to 428,000. The latest week is the first sub 400,000 reading since early August and is the lowest since early April. The four-week average is down 5,250 to 417,000 from a revised 422.25 in the prior week to end five straight weeks of increases. Still the average is roughly 5,000 higher than the month-ago comparison which isn't a positive signal for the monthly employment report.
Continuing claims, in data for the September 17 week, fell 20,000 to 3.729 million with the four-week average down 5,000 to 3.743 million. The month-ago comparison is mildly positive showing a nearly 15,000 decrease. The unemployment rate for insured workers is unchanged for a seventh week at 3.0 percent.
Stock futures are rising sharply in reaction to this report as well perhaps to the upward revision to second-quarter GDP which came out at the same time. But there's plenty of surprising noise in today's claims report which may limit its impact on the markets and on expectations for next week's employment report.
"Surprising noise in today's claims report…" Yes, it's okay to call it what it is… manipulation. Remember, any number above 350k is a jobs losing proposition, we've been shedding jobs for years now without pause.

Yesterday the Shanghai stock market along with copper price both simultaneously hit new two year lows. Over the past 10 years or so, the Shanghai market and our SPX have moved pretty much together. When they diverge from one another, the other usually plays catch-up. Prior to the late 2007/2008 decline, the Shanghai led the way, a big gap developed and then the SPX crashed. A pretty similar gap has developed now, a three year chart is seen below:
There's no doubt that China got overheated and that "growth" (money creation) is now slowing. Because a large percentage of China's business is American centric, they do tend to follow one another.
Yesterday a guest posted some thoughtful comments on the Daily Market Thread. He points out that the central banks create and then feed BOTH inflation and then deflation, using the inflationary leg as the set up to trap people in debt, and then the deflationary leg to strip them of the real assets. This is definitely true, central banks have intentionally caused deflation and used it to their advantage for centuries – JPMorgan famously did this, but I also think this is presently the case as well.
All the central bank has to do is tighten the supply of money, and those in debt wind up turning over real assets to the banks. Thusly the banks profit on the ride up, and then they profit again on the way down gathering assets to inflate again on their next cycle. If I were a narcissistic central banker, this would sound like good sport, and I would encourage others to debate all day long which is coming next, inflation or deflation.
Like I've always maintained, there are going to be waves of both, but since private individuals control the production of money, the overall trend will be more and more money until confidence in the money system is completely gone. We are losing confidence now, I would maintain that confidence in our money is too high, and that the system is closer to collapse than the vast majority of people know.
It is the deflationary wave that keeps the system going longer – the more it is fought, the shorter the life of the currency, the sooner those who control its production will lose their power. The central banks are under pressure now, they are walking a tightrope that is not attached at the end to which they are progressing.
My point is that there is no point in arguing inflation or deflation. There is both, and both work to the people's disadvantage as long as private bankers are in charge. Focus your positive energy on them, withdraw your support of their schemes and their puppet politicians, their negative karma will bite them soon enough.

A new breast cancer susceptibility gene
Mutations in a gene called XRCC2 cause increased breast cancer risk, according to a study published today in the American Journal of Human Genetics. The study looked at families that have a history of the disease but do not have mutations in the currently known breast cancer susceptibility genes.
Sean Tavtigian, Ph.D., a Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) investigator and associate professor in the Department of Oncological Sciences at the University of Utah (U of U) is one of three co-principal investigators on the study, along with David Goldgar, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Dermatology at the U of U and an HCI investigator, and Melissa Southey, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Pathology at the University of Melbourne, Australia.
"We have added to the list of genes that harbour mutations causing breast cancer," said Tavtigian. "This knowledge will improve breast cancer diagnostics and add years to patients' lives. More important, relatives who have not been affected by the disease but carry the mutations will benefit even more. They can find out they are at risk before they have cancer and take action to reduce their risk or catch the cancer early."
XRCC2 may also provide a new target for chemotherapy. "A type of drug called a PARP inhibitor appears to kill tumor cells that have gene mutations in a particular DNA repair pathway. XRCC2 is in this pathway, as are BRCA1 and BRCA2. It's reasonably likely that a breast cancer patient who has a mutation in XRCC2 will respond well to treatment with PARP inhibitors," said Tavtigian.
According to Tavtigian, many breast cancer cases appear in families with a weak history of the disease. Only about 30 percent of the familial risk for breast cancer can be explained by a combination of mutations to and common sequence variation in the known breast cancer susceptibility genes. "So far most of the clinical diagnostic effort has been directed toward the very strong family history set of breast cancer cases and their close relatives," he said. "Our research looks at a population with a weaker family history, and as it turns out, a very rare gene mutation."
The researchers used a technology called exome capture massively parallel sequencing (exome sequencing), which shows the exact order of the nucleotides (the four building blocks of DNA) in all of the protein coding genes in the human genome. The ability of this technology to analyze the DNA of all of the genes in the genome in a single experiment, according to Tavtigian, makes it an amazingly powerful tool for genetic research. "We focused on the genes involved in a particular type of DNA repair, because most known breast cancer genes have been found there. That focused analysis allowed us to identify XRCC2 as a breast cancer susceptibility gene in individuals with a family history of breast cancer," says Tavtigian. "From the exome sequencing data, we found two different types of XRCC2 mutations that occur in breast cancer patients."
He explains that one type of mutation causes the gene to create an incomplete version of the protein. The resulting protein is usually dysfunctional. The other type occurs when a single amino acid in the protein is changed.
"It's a subtle change to the protein, but the resulting change in function could range anywhere from innocuous to even worse dysfunction than the incomplete protein causes," says Tavtigian. "Our sequence analyses suggest that we may have found the full spectrum of results in our study."
Further research is underway. "A worldwide effort has already been launched to figure out what fraction of breast cancer is due to mutations in this gene and how high the risk conferred by these mutations actually is," he says.

When Ryan Boley and his wife were picking an inner-city neighbourhood to move into four years ago, they could easily scratch a few off the list.
Bankview wouldn't work. Nor would Sunalta, even with the west LRT then under construction.
Bridgeland? Nope.
"We looked around Bridgeland. Quickly ruled that out because there wasn't really a grocery store anywhere near that," said Boley.
The software developer, now 34, chose a tower in Victoria Park. He'll take the car out on weekends to a larger market and stock up on staples, but several times a week he'll take the six-minute stroll to Sunterra, to pick up a quick fresh dinner or that missing ingredient.
It used to be enough for condo developers in Calgary to tout the funky cafe down the block, with its stellar Cafe Americanos and fresh scones.
More and more, the ticket is to boast a nearby place where homeowners can get their bag of coffee beans, a multi-grain sourdough loaf and a roast chicken for tonight's dinner, as well as ample leftovers for tomorrow's lunch.
The Safeways and Co-ops in the city's centre are no longer enough, either — not for the thousands of new downtown, Beltline and area residents that will be added in coming years.
Developers have proposed six new supermarkets in the core, from Erlton and East Village to a pair of grocery stores in long-underserved Eau Claire. If all of them went ahead — city officials are skeptical — it would double the number of inner-city supermarkets within a decade or so.
"In an ideal world, everyone can go to the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker right by your house," said Evan Woolley, councillor for the Beltline and west downtown.
" 'Green grocer,' they all say. I'm really looking forward to having more of them, but it's a cautious optimism, until they're open. It's how they're selling stuff."
He recalls the six-storey Treo condos in Marda Loop and the Sobeys signed up to go in there. To neighbours' disappointment, they got a Shoppers Drug Mart instead.
Mouse over the locations below to see existing and proposed grocery stores in Calgary's inner city.
Some downtown supermarkets appear more likely to go ahead than others. Near 17th Avenue and 8th Street S.W., there's already a sign on the sidewalk promising the Beltline's next supermarket: already announced by the developer as Urban Fare, a B.C.-based brand that specializes in fresh, organic and gourmet.
Sobeys intends to open in a major condo development across Macleod Trail from Erlton-Stampede Station, while the first major retail project in budding East Village has 100,000 square feet — more than double the size of Midtown Co-op — earmarked for Loblaws, the company behind Superstore and Joe Fresh.
Another came up for approval at Calgary Planning Commission last week: a two-storey, 60,000-square-foot grocer within a three-tower residential development on a former car dealership lot at downtown's west edge.
The project's consulting architect wouldn't divulge which supermarket chains were in talks for the site, but said the appeal was clear.
"This one's very close to the LRT. It's very close to all the units that are in that end of town," said Bruce McKenzie of NORR Architects. "He (the developer) has been in discussion with several urban grocers."
The downtown area, Beltline and Mission districts have gained about 4,850 residents in the past four years, according to the city census. According to all the cranes, construction activity and development permit applications, thousands more are on their way.
It's a different breed of grocery store that will next set up downtown. It won't have the fields of adjacent surface parking area their farther-flung cousins do — nor like the Beltline's Safeway and Co-op.
While companies measure a suburban supermarket's potential reach in driving distances, these new markets will care more about foot traffic and a different type of shopper that will come by for small trips throughout the week, said retail analyst Jeff Doucette.
"It's much more focused on fresh. Much more focused on what's for dinner tonight versus a big cart-load of groceries," he said. "It's more basket shopping."
The new downtown dweller — often young and professional — also has more disposable income, Doucette said.
"That premium clientele is there. They're not just shopping for no-name staples. They're willing to part with their dollars for quality."
Sunterra, which opened beneath the Keynote office and condo towers in 2010, operates on that model. Shoppers can find ketchup and sandwich baggies, but can also choose from an array of gourmet olive oils and ready-to-eat roasted veggies. There's ample seating in the front, a Market Bar upstairs and parking underground.
Boley said he'd like more nearby choices like Sunterra, and sees potential in Erlton's proposed Sobeys.
That company has given up on its first inner-city experiment in Alberta. Its chic Sobeys Urban Fresh — with a sushi bar, Red Seal chefs and local beer service — heralded a rebirth of downtown Edmonton when it opened in 2008. It was closed in July along with other "underperforming" outlets.
The company, which acquired Safeway Canada last year, could not be reached for comment about its proposed Erlton site.
Doucette believes there wasn't enough residential development around the downtown Edmonton Sobeys to keep it viable. Paul Denaeghel, a 20-year resident of Eau Claire, said the same problem hit Eau Claire Market's original ambition as a grocery destination.
He and neighbours have long had to cross the river to shop at Kensington's Safeway. But all the condo proposals for his community would bring its population to 5,000 from 1,800 — likely enough to support at least one of the Eau Claire grocery stores proposed within blocks of each other.
"In order for it to flourish, we need critical mass to support it," said Denaeghel, president of the community association.
The numbers and urban affluence likely mean it's only a matter of time before Whole Foods makes its long-awaited arrival on the Calgary scene, Doucette said.
But for the entry-level rental towers and the seniors' complexes throughout the core, this urban supermarket renaissance won't help much.
"Food's already expensive as it is," Doucette said. "There's no affordable options coming to downtown Calgary. Loblaws isn't opening a No Frills downtown."
Nor are there clear proposals yet for supermarkets in Bridgeland or Inglewood/Ramsay, though both have recently become home to higher-end and smaller independent food stores.

This Week in America's Test Kitchen: Mexican-Style Grilled Corn
When it comes to corn, grilling is a great alternative to boiling. But it's not without its shortcomings: The corn is usually burnt by the time it's taken off the heat, and any sauce to enhance its flavor is more likely to end up in a pool on the plate instead of on the kernels. America's Test Kitchen set out to develop a a recipe inspired by Mexican street vendors, who slather add kick to grilled corn by slathering it with a creamy, spicy sauce.
The test kitchen had three goals:
- Achieve maximum charring without drying out the corn
- Deliver authentic flavor without relying on hard-to-find ingredients
- Thicken the sauce just enough to keep it from sliding off
The result is a recipe with south-of-the-border flavor that you can easily make in your own backyard. Watch the video for step-by-step instructions or get the recipe at AmericasTestKitchen.com (free registration required).

San Diego Padres' Hottie Jake Peavy struck-out a personal best 16 batters last night in San Diego's loss to Arizona last night. He was 4 shy of the record for total strikeouts in a 9-inning game. At one point, he fanned 9 in a row, which was also just one strikout away from tying Tom Seaver's record for consecutive Ks. It was an outstanding outing for Peavy, only to have it be for naught when they gave up a two-run homer in the 9th inning. Poor Jake Peavy. Do you need somebody to talk to? How about a massage for your pitching arm? Lemme know. [Peavy Amazing; Bullpen not so much]
Speedy special teams Hottie Dante Hall is trading in his White n Red for Blue n Gold. No, he's not going back to college at Notre Dame, he's been traded to the St. Louis Rams for a 5th round draft pick in the upcoming NFL draft. Hall is tied for 3rd all-time in number of punts/kickoffs returned for TDs at 11. He's tied for 1st all-time for kickoffs returned for touchdowns at 6, so perhaps he can break some records in the Edward Jones Dome [Kick Returner Extraordinaire Hits I-70]
Buffalo Sabres left wing hottie Thomas Vanek scored two goals in the second period of last night's Sabres' 5-2 win over the Rangers. It was only game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinal, but the Sabres looking convincingly like the better team. Their goalie, Ryan Miller, notched 32 saves and Jason Pominville and Drew Stafford also scored for the Sabres, so the scoring was nicely dispersed amongst the team. Mmmmm, look at that picture. Anybody for some sabre rattling? [Scruffy Vanek Shows the Rangers Who's Boss]
Pittsburgh Pirate (and Andrea's Deadspin Fantasy League) hottie Adam LaRoche had 16th-inning heroics last night, shooting a single into left field to beat the Houston Astros 4-3, after the Buccaneers blew a two-run lead in the 9th inning. LaRoche had previously been batting .096 on the season. For those of you who don't follow baseball, that's really, really bad. I think my 14 year-old cousin Michael could have a better batting average than that and he's partially blind. [Adam LARRRRRoche Steps Up in His 12th At-Bat of the Night]

RANCHO CUCAMONGA–An animal advocacy group has begun a campaign to protest what it says is a direction away from an intended "no kill" policy for the city animal shelter.
The group includes dozens of supporters who attended a recent council meeting and five former Rancho Cucamonga Care and Adoption Center volunteers who say they were dismissed as part of retaliation for speaking out against shelter policy changes since the arrival of new director Veronica Fincher in 2011. Also in the group was animal shelter employee Jesse Kreider, and animal rights attorney Marla Tauscher.
At the meeting, the group raised allegations of dogs staying in crates longer than they should and described the practice as animal abuse. They also call into question adoption rates presented by the city as successful.
"The city needs to have a director who is supposed to be doing what the city said they would do in 2005," said Susan Keithly, a shelter volunteer who was dismissed in November. "We are saying they need a confident, committed director who can achieve "no kill" now."
Rancho Cucamonga city manager John Gillison, in response to the issues raised, supported a statement by Fincher from late last year. She said a no-kill policy remains a goal for the shelter. Gillison said, "we're doing the best we can right now."
"I think we all share the same goal of getting as many animals adopted as possible," Gillison said. "There may be a disagreement about the current administration of the center and how the programs are being run, and that's a fair topic for public conversation."
Fincher, in a September interview, said because Rancho Cucamonga is an open-admission shelter – it takes in all stray, abandoned or surrendered animals within the city – keeping animals from being euthanized is a challenge.
Fincher said all options are exhausted before an animal is euthanized, and said the center engages in outreach to rescue organizations, support shelters, and the public. Often times, decisions to euthanize an animal are based on the dog or cat's ability to adjust to kennel life, adoptability, and safety for prospective adopters, she said.
Keithly says animals' lives are being lost because of policy changes. She said the shelter should reinstate eliminated promotional programs, and more playgroups and videos, which group members said is instrumental to a no kill policy for the shelter. The group would also like the dismissed volunteers to return to work at the shelter to help promote the animals and increase adopt-ability.
"The difference with (the previous animal shelter director) was if we presented ideas, things like off-site promotions, we were able to do those things," said Dana Keithly, a professor at Chaffey college, who had previously worked at the shelter as an employee and grant coordinator. "Especially if it's not costing them any money, why wouldn't the director want volunteers to be able to run these types of programs?"
Keithly said reasons for her dismissal included "insubordination" and "creating a hostile work environment," which she characterized as lies.
"If this were true, why were we never sat down and warned," she said.
Tauscher, who was among those who spoke at the council meeting, disputed the city's assertion that the average adoption rate has been at 80 percent. She projected the animal shelter document she was given by the city on the view screen at the council meeting.
"The adoptions for dogs were actually 47 percent and for cats it was 31 percent for a combined average of 39 percent, which is about half of 80 percent," Tauscher said. "…They're using terms of art such as 'unadoptable' versus 'adoptable.' They look at totals in terms of what they call 'light outcomes' and they have to sort of manipulate the numbers to present them in a way that's more favorable to them."
Tauscher said there are violations of state law, including instances where owners requested euthanasia.
"During January to September, they killed 49 animals at the request of the owners," Tauscher said. "That's illegal under state law. It is absolutely prohibited, you cannot kill an animal because the owner doesn't want it anymore."
Kreider, with a photograph displayed on the council view screen, relayed the story of how a "Marc Steinorth for Mayor" sign from 2010, with visible holes in it, had been placed in the field service office, days after Steinorth was elected to council on Nov. 6.
Kreider said he brought it up in conversation with a supervisor who told him she and other employees had used the sign for "target practice in the play yard outside."
Kreider said he and the supervisor discussed how some of the volunteers supported Steinorth, while others did not.
"This is a clear example of the hatred management has toward certain volunteers and anyone they support, including councilman Marc Steinorth,"
Kreider said. "Politics are not supposed to be discussed in the workplace, per the employee manual, but this disrespectful political act was not only allowed, it was supported and participated in by shelter management."
In response to the sign incident, Gillison said the matter has been looked into by the city, and added the issue was "handled appropriately," without providing further detail.
Gillison said he would not engage in a point, counter-point debate with the issues raised by the speakers, nor could he not speak to personnel matters related to the dismissals, or the issues raised by Kreider.
"We're well aware of the information that they've raised," Gillison said. "The matters have been looked into and have been handled appropriately. The public can walk into the animal center, which is open seven days a week, and see for themselves what's happening in the center. They have made these allegations to anyone who will listen."
Steinorth, who toured the shelter in November, said the ultimate goal of the animal center, "regardless of all this turmoil, is to promote the adoption of dogs, cats and other animals."
"As much as I'm concerned about any resident's issues, my primary focus is how can we help find homes for these animals," Steinorth said.
Rancho Cucamonga leaders in 2005, in response to what critics called a high kill rate for county-run animal shelter, ended the contract with the county and began city control of the service with the hope of making it a "no kill" shelter.
Keithly said the recent appearance of "Together Helping Animals Thrive," or "THAT group," at the city council meeting won't be the last time the city will hear from them. Goals for the group, according to members, are to raise awareness of the issues on Facebook and to continue the public debate over the direction of the shelter.

The Spanish government should rescind approval of a veterinary drug that threatens Europe's largest population of wild vultures, researchers argue in a letter published online yesterday in Conservation Biology. The drug, diclofenac, is commonly used to treat pain in livestock. It has already caused the decline of nearly 99% of India's vultures, which ingested the drug while feeding on carcasses. It has also triggered an ecological chain reaction there, resulting in, among other impacts, record numbers of rabies cases.
"[I]t is undeniable that European vulture populations could be seriously affected by the ingestion of diclofenac, and its use has become a matter of great concern for ecologists, politicians, and conservationists," write the five scientists, who represent agriculture, ecology, and biology departments at universities in both Spain and Switzerland. Although European grazing and sanitation practices are substantially different from those used in India, potentially reducing the drug's threat to scavenging birds, the researchers remain concerned about its potential impact in Spain, which is home to an estimated 95% of Europe's wild vultures.
The drug was approved by the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS) in March 2013. It is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug currently approved in many countries for both human and veterinary use. It reduces pain and inflammation caused by a variety of conditions, such as arthritis, kidney stones, and endometriosis. It is the active ingredient in more than 100 trade named medications, some of which are available over the counter. In veterinary application, diclofenac is most often used to treat joint pain and swelling.
In 2003, researchers fingered diclofenac as the cause of the sudden and widespread disappearance of three of India's most common vultures: the white-backed, the slender-billed, and the Indian vulture. Diclofenac "cause[s] deposition of uric acid crystals in the visceral organs, and kidneys in particular, and it is kidney failure that actually kills the birds," says Chris Bowden of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and the Saving Asia's Vultures from Extinction (SAVE) program in Bedfordshire, U.K. It took less than 20 years for the drug to wipe out most of India's vultures, and all three species are now listed as either endangered or critically endangered. The missing vultures have left an ecological hole that is being filled by a burgeoning feral dog population, which have helped spread rabies.
Since its dangers were revealed, the drug has been banned for veterinary use in India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, and vulture numbers have shown small signs of rebounding. Efforts to ban its use in Africa are under way, and SAVE is pushing the European Union to ban the drug across the continent.
In Spain, the authors of today's letter are urging the Spanish government to rescind diclofenac's approval for veterinary use under "the precautionary principle, which was recognized as a fundamental element of environmental policy at the Rio Conference of 1992." Four species of European vulture are at risk, they note: the griffon, bearded, cinereous, and Egyptian. The cinereous and Egyptian vultures are considered near threatened and endangered, respectively. Although bearded vultures are not considered endangered worldwide, they have been almost completely extirpated from their historic central European range—the 125 breeding pairs in Spain are the result of 30 years of concerted repopulation efforts.
Recent changes in Spain's farm sanitation laws may put the vultures at greater risk of diclofenac poisoning, says one of the letter's authors, conservation biologist Antoni Margalida, of the University of Bern in Switzerland and the University of Lleida in Spain. In 2011, regulators reopened the "muladares," or farm carcass dumps, that had been shut down in the wake of concern about the spread of "mad cow disease" (bovine spongiform encephalopathy). The change was designed to help the vultures, as the muladares are an essential food source for many of the birds, and the closures had threatened vulture numbers. But the introduction of diclofenac could turn the dumps into a threat, Margalida notes.
Spain's move to approve the drug flouts the spirit of E.U. environmental law, Bowden says, and "sets a bad precedent for Africa and Asia where systems are less controlled." Spanish supplies could also be exported to other countries, he worries.
José Tavares of the Vulture Conservation Foundation in Switzerland says that advocates have already sent formal requests to address the issue to the Spanish government, the European Commission, and eight other E.U. governments. Additionally, the Convention on Migratory Species (Bonn Convention) has also requested that the Spanish government ban the drug. So far, there has been no government response, but ecologists and conservation groups are hoping today's letter adds to the pressure.

The key to travel management success is to follow specific steps that are aligned with company goals. The challenge is that companies typically use one of three unique T&E processes known as the Unaware Process, the Unmanaged Process and the Managed T&E Process, but only the nine phases of the Managed Process can provide consistent, scalable results.
As the 2nd largest controllable expense in business, it's imperative for SMEs to shift their investment in travel to a valuable contribution towards organizational growth.

Channing Tatum Kicks Off "Team OSCAR®" On "The Ellen Degeneres Show"
BEVERLY HILLS, CA – Channing Tatum and The Academy today launched the "Team Oscar" college search on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," along with this year's Oscars host, Ellen DeGeneres, by inviting the next generation of filmmakers to vie for an opportunity to appear onstage during the live Oscar broadcast. Winners will deliver Oscar statuettes to celebrity presenters at the Academy Awards® on Oscar Sunday, March 2, 2014, live on ABC.
"We were very happy to have created this college program for last year's show. It was a huge success, and we're excited to take it to the next level," said show producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron. "With Channing Tatum set to help us discover a new group of talented young filmmakers and 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' on board to chronicle their stories, we feel Team Oscar will be more rewarding and exciting than ever."
Run through The Academy's Facebook page, Team Oscar is open to U.S. college students, and submissions are due by January 5, 2014. To enter, students must visit The Academy's Facebook page, where they can submit a creative short video explaining how they will contribute to the future of movies and answer a brief essay question on a similar topic.
Producers Zadan and Meron, along with Tatum and the Academy, will ultimately pick a minimum of six winners who will be flown to Los Angeles by United Airlines, the official airline of the Academy, to participate in the Oscars at the Dolby Theatre® at Hollywood & Highland Center®.
"It's inspiring to see talented young people passionate about movies, and I'm excited to help shine a spotlight on them through Team Oscar," said Tatum. "I'm looking forward to viewing and judging the creative videos submitted on Facebook and working with Craig, Neil and the Academy to choose winners who epitomize the next generation of filmmakers."
Tatum will return to "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" in early 2014 to announce the Team Oscar winners.
Oscars for outstanding film achievements of 2013 will be presented on Oscar Sunday, March 2, 2014, at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center and televised live on the ABC Television Network. The presentation also will be televised live in more than 225 countries and territories worldwide.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is the world's preeminent movie-related organization, with a membership of more than 6,000 of the most accomplished men and women working in cinema. In addition to the annual Academy Awards—in which the members vote to select the nominees and winners—the Academy presents a diverse year-round slate of public programs, exhibitions and events; provides financial support to a wide range of other movie-related organizations and endeavors; acts as a neutral advocate in the advancement of motion picture technology; and, through its Margaret Herrick Library and Academy Film Archive, collects, preserves, restores and provides access to movies and items related to their history. Through these and other activities the Academy serves students, historians, the entertainment industry and people everywhere who love movies.

Soyuz Lands Safely, But Not Without A Scare
Late last night, Soyuz TMA-21 made it back to Earth safely. The three astronauts on board are all safe. But before the capsule touched down in Kazakhstan, mission control and those watching live were treated to some heart-stopping moments.
NASA astronaut Ron Garan and Russian cosmonauts Andrei Borisenko and Alexander Samokutyayev landed some 150 kilometers (93 miles) southeast of the city of Zhezkazgan at 10 a.m. local time (0400 GMT) after 164 days in space.
Repeated calls to the Soyuz TMA-21 capsule from Mission Control in Korolyov, outside Moscow, went unanswered for several minutes, well after the craft had de-orbited. Communication was eventually established between the crew and an Antonov fixed-winged aircraft circling the landing site.
That same plane also spotted the capsule parachuting back to Earth. The tension was undoubtably heightened by the recent Russian rocket explosion and the uncertainty it left behind.
CNet describes the scene after the safe landing:
Russian recovery crews, along with NASA flight surgeons and space station program managers, were standing by to help Soyuz commander Alexander Samokutyaev, Andrey Borisenko, and NASA flight engineer Ronald Garan out of the cramped descent module as they begin their re-adaptation to gravity after five-and-a-half months in space.
All three men appeared relaxed and in good spirits as they rested in recliners near the scorched descent module, smiling and chatting with recovery crews. Borisenko, the last of the three to be pulled from the spacecraft, flashed an enthusiastic thumbs-up.

Exploring Hydrocarbon Depletion

Refute his argument if you can.
You are not a troll just because you argue against popularly held views on a discussion board and post reason's why.

A secretive gathering some of the world's biggest oil companies has concluded the industry will discover far less oil than officially forecast, meaning global oil production may peak much sooner than many expect.
NoFreeSpeech wrote:You probably recognize his face
MattSavinar wrote:40,000 oil fields across the world and not a single one shows any sign of refilling.
Below the Gulf of Mexico, hydrocarbons flow upward through an intricate network of conduits and reservoirs. They start in thin layers of source rock and, from there, buoyantly rise to the surface. On their way up, the hydrocarbons collect in little rivulets, and create temporary pockets like rain filling a pond. Eventually most escape to the ocean. And, this is all happening now, not millions and millions of years ago, says Larry Cathles, a chemical geologist at Cornell University.
"We're dealing with this giant flow-through system where the hydrocarbons are generating now, moving through the overlying strata now, building the reservoirs now and spilling out into the ocean now," Cathles says.
He's bringing this new view of an active hydrocarbon cycle to industry, hoping it will lead to larger oil and gas discoveries. By matching the chemical signatures of the oil and gas with geologic models for the structures below the seafloor, petroleum geologists could tap into reserves larger than the North Sea, says Cathles, who presented his findings at the meeting of the American Chemical Society in New Orleans on March 27.
Deep underwater, and deeper underground, scientists see surprising hints that gas and oil deposits can be replenished, filling up again, sometimes rapidly.
Although it sounds too good to be true, increasing evidence from the Gulf of Mexico suggests that some old oil fields are being refilled by petroleum surging up from deep below, scientists report. That may mean that current estimates of oil and gas abundance are far too low.
Recent measurements in a major oil field show "that the fluids were changing over time; that very light oil and gas were being injected from below even as the producing [oil pumping] was going on," said chemical oceanographer Mahlon "Chuck" Kennicutt. "They are refilling as we speak. But whether this is a worldwide phenomenon, we don't know."
Kennicutt, a faculty member at Texas A&M University, said it is now clear that gas and oil are coming into the known reservoirs very rapidly in terms of geologic time. The inflow of new gas, and some oil, has been detectable in as little as three to 10 years. In the past, it was not suspected that oil fields can refill because it was assumed that oil was formed in place, or nearby, rather than far below.
According to marine geologist Harry Roberts, at Louisiana State University ... "You have a very leaky fault system that does allow it (petroleum) to migrate in. It's directly connected to an oil and gas generating system at great depth."
... "There already appears to be a large body of evidence consistent with ... oil and gas generation and migration on very short time scales in many areas globally" [Jean Whelan] wrote in the journal Sea Technology ...
Analysis of the ancient oil that seems to be coming up from deep below in the Gulf of Mexico suggests that the flow of new oil "is coming from deeper, hotter [sediment] formations" and is not simply a lateral inflow from the old deposits that surround existing oil fields, [Whelan] said.

Those are very interesting ideas about the refilling of oil fields. Its notable that they are coming from mainstream academic scientists.

I have a feeling I won't be around long now that I'm bringing facts to the table again.
jboogy wrote:It's all really just academic quibbling at this point isn't it?
The Institute for Defense Analyses released its very thorough "Review and Analysis of the Peak Oil Debate" authored by Brent Fisher last summer, but I only discovered it today (thanks to a link at DTIC, below). This 50-page study is detailed, balanced in its determinations, carefully worded and thoroughly sourced.
The study's executive summary ends with these two sentences:
"We conclude from these reviews that the most alarmist of the peak-oil claims are likely false. Still, we see some convincing reasons to think that global oil production could peak within 20 years, with demand outstripping production indefinitely."
But almost no-one from this list (including Fisher) has addressed the subsequent questions and concerns which arise from an awareness /acceptance of the peak oil concept:
•export decline (please see Armed Forces Journal Forum posting #7)
•fuel poverty: how will sustained high oil prices affect the global economy, "globalization" itself, public revenues & public services, low-income families, etc? (please see Jeff Rubin's recent book, Why Your World Is About to Get a Whole Lot Smaller)
•Agri-food: this sector may be squeezed from both ends (by family farmers who can't afford fuel, and by a faltering import/export system, Armed Forces Journal Forum posting #17).
•Emergency planning: how might a severe fuel (& food) emergency be best planned for and administered? (Armed Forces Journal Forum postings #9, #10, #15, #16, #17)
•Domestic security: are there foreseeable problems which warrant military analysis & planning?
Every year oil industry around the world has to add at least 5–6 Mbpd of gross production capacity just to break even with the 5–6 Mbpd gross capacity is lost. Any additions to world capacity are on top of the 5–6 Mbpd capacity turnover each year. These figures are much larger than the drops in production capacity contemplated by Simmons, which would be on the order of 500 kbpd YoY. Thus, Lynch concludes that non-Saudi Arabian oil production is capable of making up losses in Saudi Arabia (Lynch 2006, pp. 1–32).
On the question of water cuts, Lynch compares Ghawar, whose water cut is around 37%, to the world average, which is 75%, though it is not specified how the 75% average is calculated (volumetric average or average overall wells) (Lynch 2006, pp. 1–32).
In addition to the foregoing three main points, optimists provide a series of facts that they claim show Saudi oil production to be under no stress at all. Hence they conclude that there is no reason to expect a peak in Saudi production. Chief among these is the famously low cost of oil production for Saudi Aramco. Production cost estimates ranging from $1/bbl to $5/bbl are cited by Lynch 2006, pp. 1–32, which are much lower than those almost anywhere else in the world.
It is a well known refrain: Peak Oil is always now !

It was 113 acres the Mansion was built on a Bluff overlooking the Little Darby creek. it was adorned with many European treasures including Marble Mantel pieces & Tapestries. It had a large Stable and a large Clock tower. All that is left now is entrance gates and a driveway. Mr Neuman after buying it Named it Inver-House long before he named his most famous Scotch the same Name.

The best indicator that the current Iraq policy has failed is that in the US, many former gung-ho and giddy war advocates have now decided that the war was a mistake and are now desperately casting around for excuses and planning where to lay the blame. And as they do, the policy itself descends into incoherence as people start making different claims about the causes for the war, the current status, and the reasons for the setbacks.
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who is always sensitive to which way the wind is blowing, said last week that "We're on the verge of chaos, and the current plan is not working." The Washington Post reported on October 5, 2006 that "The Republican chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee [Senator John Warner] yesterday offered a stark assessment of the situation in Iraq after a trip there this week, saying that parts of the country have taken "steps backwards" and that the United States is at risk of losing the campaign to control an increasingly violent Baghdad." And a senior US State Department official said in an interview with al-Jazeera on October 23, 2006 that the world was "witnessing failure in Iraq" and that "I think there is great room for strong criticism, because without doubt, there was arrogance and stupidity by the United States in Iraq." Although the last person later said that he had "seriously misspoken," it is clear that he must have been representing a significant point of view within the government.
The always astute commentator Billmon analyses the latest moves by the Bush administration to deflect attention from its Iraq failures by commissioning a "study group" headed by former Secretary of State James Baker to come up with "options" but even Baker characterizes the situation in Iraq as a "helluva mess." Billmon finds that the leaks from the Baker group provide a good example of the vapidity of the current "debate" about what to do about Iraq.
This is just one of the more extreme example of the mental silliness that, in extremis, seems to have grabbed the entire American foreign policy elite by the brain stem. It's an exercise in sputtering incoherence, in which people who've spent most of their professional lives rehearsing their talking points in the green room suddenly discover they have absolutely nothing meaningful to say. But the media echo chamber abhors a vacuum every bit as much as nature does, and so we're getting a lot of verbiage that basically adds up to nothing.
This nothing is then labeled "the Iraq policy debate."
The current debate as to whether the US should "stay the course" or "cut and run" is obsolete. New York Times columnist Frank Rich argues that perhaps the decision to leave Iraq has already been made and that it is being held off until the elections in order to avoid harming Republican candidates. I am not so sure. After all, the only things that seem to be still on schedule in Iraq are the building by the US of the world's largest embassy and permanent military bases. Those do not look to me like the actions of a government that is about to leave soon. In fact, on this issue there is evidence to take Bush at his word and I am confident that he is committed to staying there until his term of office ends and make it even harder for his successor to withdraw. When Bush talks about "completing the job" in Iraq, the job he is referring to is his presidency, not anything concerning "victory" in Iraq, whatever that might mean.
But what is clear is that as far as the pundits are concerned, they are now past discussing "cut and run" or "stay the course" and are clearly in the "run and blame" stage.
Perhaps the most brazen attempts at rewriting history come from those pro-war agitating pundits who now have come around to the idea that the war was a mistake. While they grudgingly concede that they were wrong about the war, they are now faced with the problem that they don't want to concede that the people who opposed the war from the beginning were right. They have thus begun this elaborate choreographed dance designed essentially to make the case that that although the war has not turned out the way they predicted it would, they were yet right earlier when they supported the war and are also right now when they think it is a bad idea, while those who opposed the war from the outset were wrong then and are still wrong now.
In other words, these armchair warriors claim that they were wrong for the right reasons while those of us who opposed the war were right for the wrong reasons. They assert that they have now come around to thinking it was a bad idea after carefully weighing the facts, while those of us who always thought it was a bad idea are simply irrational oppositionists.
The reason for this carefully staged turnaround is so that when they begin beating the drums of war for the next country on the list to be invaded (Iran? North Korea? Syria?), they will once again be taken as "serious" analysts whose words should be listened to. They are trying to achieve this turnabout by rewriting history and ascribing facts and opinions to their opponents in order to support their position.
For example, some warmongers try to ignore the rationale that was originally given for the invasion of Iraq, that it was on the verge of unleashing mushroom clouds of nuclear weapons. Instead we are now told that the invasion was a noble attempt at bringing democracy to that Middle Eastern country. This changed rationale allows them to portray themselves as advocates for expanding democracy and freedom and to falsely characterize those who opposed the war as people who had contempt for the people of Iraq and either did not care about their democratic rights or condescendingly felt that Iraqis were not ready for democracy.
If some person brings up the pesky question of the missing WMDs, this is responded to by saying that "everyone believed that Iraq had WMDs" and that it was a genuine and universal mistake caused by receiving "faulty intelligence." Thus they themselves cannot be personally faulted. They like to think of themselves as hard-headed realists who were misled by faulty intelligence while antiwar activists are portrayed as naïve and clueless peaceniks who do not really understand sophisticated ideas of geopolitics, terrorism, intelligence gathering and foreign policy but just happened to be right about WMDs by accident.
Take for example, one-time war enthusiast Jonah Goldberg. He has now made an about-face and wrote on October 19, 2006:
The Iraq war was a mistake.
I know, I know. But I've never said it before. And I don't enjoy saying it now. I'm sure that to the antiwar crowd this is too little, too late, and that's fine because I'm not joining their ranks anyway.
. . .
Truth is truth. And the Iraq war was a mistake by the most obvious criteria: If we had known then what we know now, we would never have gone to war with Iraq in 2003.
Bt the main point of his column is not to apologize for his past support and advocacy for a disastrous policy that has taken hundreds of thousands of lives but to assert that those who argued against the war were wrong! I like the phrase "truth is truth" because he then goes on to make a series of false statement about those who opposed the war. The first one is his failure to acknowledge that many of us did know then what he claims he only got to know now.
He ignores the fact that there was plenty of evidence that there were no WMDs to be found. Scott Ritter, a member of the inspection team, had been saying so repeatedly. UN weapons inspection chief Hans Blix had found nothing and his reports had said so. Colin Powell's speech at the UN with his "evidence" had been examined immediately by the overseas press and his claims about the aluminum tubes and Iraq's biological weapons capabilities and factories had been widely discounted in the rest of the world. This was well known and understood by large numbers of people.
Let us also not forget that millions of people worldwide took to the streets to oppose the war. They were not simply mindless peaceniks. They were people who rightly felt that either the war was wrong on grounds of law and morality or that no convincing evidence had been provided that Iraq was an imminent threat or both.
In the debate over the Iraq invasion, it is clear that it was the antiwar forces who were the hard-headed realists, and the pro-war forces who were living in a world of delusion, creating stories they wanted to believe to justify actions they wanted to take.
They should not be allowed to rewrite that history to serve their ends.

POST SCRIPT: Lancet study of Iraqi deaths
Les Roberts, one of the lead authors of the Lancet study that found over 600,000 Iraqi deaths as a result of the invasion answers questions about the study.

I sent this to Mr. Zellner, Joe Bonadonna, and Gregg Steele at Sirius today. Rather harsh but I have never been known to hold my true feelings back, especially when it comes to music.
Well well well, another letter to the persons who program the music for Sirius channels. This morning during the 9 o'clock hour I heard Rush's Circumstances and then in the 10 o'clock hour I heard Rush's Fly By Night. Why is this? Its because the program directors for The Boneyard are not fully educated on how to complete a playlist without repeating the same bands over and over again.
I am going to give it to you in the simplest way that I can, since your simple playlist are for the simple minds make them out as well as those that listen to them and think that they are good.
Lets start with Classic Vinyl. Good station BAD PLAYLIST. The Moody Blues are not a Rock group they are a light music group that belong on the 70's channel. Stop playing wimpy artist like Al Stewart, move to the elevator channel. If Bruce has his own channel why do you constantly replay his music on Classic Vinyl? Just a hint, there is music more to Lynyrd Skynyrd than 3 Steps and Free Bird. Get a hold of someone that has some knowledge of the history of rock music and getting a play that doesn't resemble my local hits channel will help in subscriptions. Question???
Classic Rewind, This is the station that is supposed to rock and frankly it doesn't even roll half the time. Please refrain from playing one hit wonders from the MTV era. One hit wonders belong on the 80's and 90's channels. Greg Kin and The Fix are not rockers from the second era of classic rock. 38 Special, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allaman Brothers, The Cars, Boston, LEO, Blue Oyster Cult, etc. Once again you are showing your lack of music knowledge by playing the simpleton playlists.
Now The Bonehead..oooops Boneyard.
This station is a disgrace to music variety at the highest level available. Your playlist consist of the following groups played over and over and over and over and over again all in the same 4 hour period. Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Metalica, Megadeth, Rainbow, Dio, Rush, Helix (WTF???) Billy Squire????,Van Halen, Judas Priest B.O.C., Maybe a few others that I have missed but like I said, Billy Squire?? Hard and Classic??? Helix?? Talk about a 1....well they didn't even have a hit just a decent 1st album. Lets broaden your little music minds and see if we can get you out of your simpleton music seat. Look around boys the world is full of many more bands than the ones you play on Boneyard.
You see when The BUZZSAW was around these simpleton playlists weren't played because the DJ's ROCKED!! Everything on that station KICKED ASS!!! They played it all and they didn't play the same old groups all the time like what is done NOW!!
I no longer hear the Southern Rock, The Blues Rock, The Classic Rock, The Hard Rock, The overall blast your volume all the way to eleven Rock.....Instead I hear simpleton playlists created by uneducated simpleton program directors.
Do us all a favor in this time of economic hardship, make it worth our money to keep paying for satellite radio like it was before the merger.
Bring Back The BUZZSAW!!

You've seen dozens of old tool bouquets on toiles across the span of your life.
Old tools in my garage are ladies-in-waiting.
Think this bit of garden is serendipitous? Unplanned? Needs weeding? A trinity of wrong. This garden room is rustic balance with its formal companions nearby.
Garden Design is all about contrasts. And finding a way to hang lovely old tools.
Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
Pics shot in Susanne Hudson's garden last month. Seems old tools, old terra cotta & old tin are a new trinity.
