Getting a flu vaccine is on many "to do" lists in the fall, but for those who still haven't checked it off their list, it's not too late to get vaccinated. Many people don't realize that flu activity usually peaks in the United States in January or February, and flu viruses can circulate as late as May. As long as there's flu around, it isn't too late to get vaccinated.
Getting a yearly flu vaccine is the first and most important step in protecting against the flu, and CDC recommends influenza vaccination for everyone age 6 months and older. We urge you and all health care professionals to get vaccinated yourselves and offer flu vaccine at every opportunity to every patient—except infants younger than 6 months and the very few people for whom flu vaccination is contraindicated.
Studies show that your recommendation makes the difference in your patients' decision to get a flu vaccine. You should continue to emphasize the importance of flu vaccination for your patients. And, if you don't already do so, consider offering flu vaccines to patients in your own practice, even if yours is a sub-specialty practice and you don't see yourself as a vaccine provider. Even if you don't offer flu vaccines, you can still recommend and emphasize the importance of flu vaccination as a way to keep your patients—and their families—protected throughout the season.
As promising as it is sounds that flu vaccination rates are increasing among children and healthcare personnel, vaccination rates are stagnant for many groups at increased risk of serious complications from influenza, including adults 65 years and adults 19-64 years old who have certain medical conditions. These medical conditions include asthma, diabetes (type 1 and 2), and heart disease. Pregnant women are also at high risk of severe illness. Vaccination rates increased 2 years ago in response to the 2009 pandemic but have remained stagnant since. Vaccination is especially important for people with chronic health conditions including asthma, other chronic lung disease, diabetes, immunosuppression, chronic heart, and kidney disease. Even if these conditions are well-managed, people who have them are at higher risk of serious complications from influenza. Yet during the last flu season (2010-2011), only 47 percent of people with high-risk conditions were vaccinated.
While people 65 years and older are at high risk, the vaccination rate in this age group has dropped over the past few seasons. Vaccination coverage in 2010-2011 was three percentage points lower than in 2009-2010 and seven percentage points lower than in 2008-2009. The decreasing trend may have resulted from this age group not being included in the initial groups prioritized to receive the first available doses of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic flu vaccine. This may have resulted in the misperception that people 65 years and older are no longer considered a high priority for seasonal influenza vaccination.
Results from a recent survey of pregnant women reinforce the value of flu vaccine recommendations and offering vaccine by health care providers. Women whose providers offered the vaccine were five times more likely to get vaccinated than patients who reported that their providers did not offer or recommend vaccination. Many women who didn't receive an offer visited a health care provider at least once, which means that an opportunity for vaccination was missed.
Keep in mind that many of your chronically ill or older patients will visit you at least once during flu season. Although many will have seen advertisements for influenza vaccination, they may not recognize their need to get vaccinated. A strong recommendation from you can make a big difference in your patient making the decision to get vaccinated. And while we're on the subject of everyone needing a flu vaccine, have you been vaccinated yet? And what about your staff? Vaccination of health care personnel is important for patient safety, as well as for your own protection. It also allows you to be an example to your staff and patients by indicating "I got vaccinated. You should, too." Being a good example can be helpful, especially if you're talking to a patient who thinks the vaccine can cause the flu, who is concerned about side effects, or who doesn't understand that people need to get a flu vaccine every year because immunity wanes over time.
During the 2010-2011 flu season, only 63.5 percent of health care personnel were vaccinated—well below the Healthy People 2020 target of 90 percent. We would like to see that number increase substantially this year.
CDC has resources that can help you in your efforts to get your patients vaccinated. You can obtain patient education handouts and posters for your office, copies of the vaccine information statements (VIS), and updated information for you and your staff at www.cdc.gov/flu and www.cdc.gov/flu/freeresources. You can also get a variety of other tools, including those that you can add to your Web page, e-cards for a variety of audiences e-cards, and the "flu vaccine finder" widget, where you or your patients can enter an address or ZIP Code and get a map and list of the flu vaccine providers near you.
If there's anything else you need to help you promote the flu vaccine, contact us at 800-CDC-INFO or cdcinfo@cdc.gov. We're here to support your efforts in recommending yearly flu vaccination for your staff and patients.

The Rebecca convex mirror frame is made of wood composite that I re-finished and gilded it in gold metal leaf. The rays of the sunburst are layered with gold, bronze, yellow and straw Venetian glass rods. The area surrounding the mirror are studded with spheres of citrine and smoky quartz.
This mirror is about 6.25 inches in diameter. A person could wear this as a brooch! It is in my studio until being shipped to one of my showrooms.
The Rebecca convex mirror is named after the novel by Daphne du Maurier. And, of course, by the Academy award winning movie directed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1940. If you haven't seen this Gothic romance you are in for a treat. If you haven't seen the sickening, Rebecca obsessed housekeeper of Manderley, Mrs. Danvers, played by Judith Anderson you are going to be tingly all over.
Joan Fontaine as the second Mrs. de Winter and Judith Anderson as the creepy Mrs. Danvers in the 1940 film Rebecca.


After i posted all that stuff this morning, i went and tried to install United Offensive and it turns out i need a program called Xfire.
And to top things off, i cannot play single player on my big PC anymore, I used to be able to but i haven't played in a long time and many other programs have been installed and maybe some of those is what's blocking my game. I'll see if my other PC can handle this game, otherwise, it's a lost game.

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vienna () is an archdiocese of the Catholic Church in Austria.  It was erected as the Diocese of Vienna on 18 January 1469 out of the Diocese of Passau, and elevated to an archdiocese on 1 June 1722.  The episcopal see resides in the cathedral of Stephansdom in Vienna.  The current bishop is Christoph Schoenborn, appointed in 1995 and elevated to cardinal in 1998.

The Archdiocese is the metropolitan diocese of three suffragan dioceses: Roman Catholic Diocese of Eisenstadt, of Linz, and of Sankt Pölten. These four dioceses together constitute the ecclesiastical province of Vienna, one of only two ecclesiastical provinces of Austria, the other under the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Salzburg.

Movement, performativity and interaction are also key to the rapidly growing area field of social robots, in particular to the design of human-robot interaction. Bleeker's article "From Braitenberg's Vehicles to Jansen's Beach Animals: Towards an Ecological Approach to the Design of Non-Organic Intelligence" looks at Theo Jansen's beach animals as model for robot design, in particular with regard to the relationship between movement, environment and intelligence.

The book Transmission in Motion. The Technologizing of Dance edited by Maaike Bleeker (Routledge 2016) looks at projects by well-known choreographers and dance collectives like William Forsythe, Siohban Davis, Merce Cunningham, Emio Greco | PC, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, Steve Paxton, Wayne McGregor, and BADco, to show the significance of these projects in the context of current debates on the multi-media archive, immaterial cultural heritage and copyright, embodied cognition, education and the knowledge society. Inaugurating a new area for dance archives, education, research and creation, these projects also draw attention to the intimate relationship between the technologies we use and how we perceive, make sense and think.

In 2001, approximately 4,600 feet upstream from its confluence with the Russian River, Willow Creek was filled in with sediment. In certain segments of the creek, no bed or banks remained. These conditions limited the upstream migration of spawning salmonids to periods when the valley was flooded. Downstream migration of juveniles in spring was also blocked.
The filled channel condition of Willow Creek upstream of the second bridge was attributed to channel modifications that were begun before 1953, as well as increased sediment yield from land use practices in the watershed. Prior to 1953, Willow Creek was relocated, straightened, and probably widened, apparently to facilitate agriculture. Such channel modifications often create a condition that traps sediment as is illustrated by the fact that unmodified reaches of Willow Creek upstream and downstream were not filled with sediment to the same degree. The increased sediment yield from the watershed is attributed to road construction, timber harvesting, and livestock grazing beginning before 1900. Sediment supply derived from landslides and surface erosion has decreased since the 1960s.
The Willow Creek Water Quality Monitoring Program began in the early 2000s when Stewards became active in assisting State Parks with restoring fish passage in the Willow Creek watershed. Volunteers were trained and began monitoring three locations in the watershed at regular intervals. Parameters include pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity and other tests that determine optimum habitat for salmonids.

Fans see red over blunders at the Moses
MOSES Mabhida Stadium management has apologised for frustrations some fans encountered during Wednesday night's pre-season game between Manchester United and AmaZulu.
Stadium management had received "about 80" complaints about security stewards telling people they could sit anywhere, customers refusing to move out of incorrect seats and security not taking action to defuse situations that followed.
"Stadium management called a meeting today with the event organisers and contracted suppliers in order to discuss the issues raised by our customers as a matter of urgency and will conduct a full investigation," it said in a statement.
Manchester United won by 1-0, courtesy of a goal from Italian Federico Macheda.
They play against Ajax Cape Town in the Mother City tomorrow.

Sacramento Police Arrest 26-Year-Old Man for Indecent Exposure
Posted 7:24 PM, May 29, 2019, by Charmaine Nero and FOX40 Web Desk
SACRAMENTO -- Police say they have arrested a suspect after multiple victims came forward about a man exposing his genitals to them in Sacramento County.
Ashlley Powell was one of many people around Land Park to find out Sacramento police made an arrest in the monthslong investigation involving a man seen exposing himself to young women.
"Downtown is a nice place and I don't think that there should people going around showing their things off to people trying to get their education," Powell said.
Police say late Friday, they arrested 26-year-old Charles Ryan Oehler for a series of indecent exposure incidents that happened toward late January and early February.
"Some of the victims indicated that in certain incidents that he was either sitting in his car and appeared to be exposing himself while trying to make contact with the victims and others just saw him just merely sitting there as he tried to make contact with them," said Sacramento Police Department spokesman Marcus Basquez.
In at least three of the incidents, victims described the suspect as a white male seen in a four-door, white sedan who confronted them while they were walking.
In two of the incidents, the young victims told police a man, later identified as Oehler, made inappropriate comments while masturbating inside his car.
"In addition to some of those incidents, there were several others throughout the same area," Basquez told FOX40. "And so, therefore, investigators are still diligently to try to see if this individual can be somehow connected to those other incidents."
Oehler currently faces charges for misdemeanor indecent exposure. He has since been bonded out of jail.
While Powell is spending her days gearing up for the summer, she's still staying alert and prepared.
"Me, I like to record situations and show it to the police if I have to," she said.
The police department reported eight instances between November and February that were similar in nature. They are still investigating and have not said which incidents Oehler is tied to.
See the reports below:

JANUARY 30, 2019: At around 5 p.m., officers responded to a report of a suspect who was driving eastbound in the area of Gloria Drive and Jib Court and pulled up next to a victim. The suspect made some inappropriate comments to the victim, pulled down his pants and exposed his genitals. The victim quickly fled the area. That's when the suspect fled eastbound on Gloria Drive. The suspect was described as a male white, approximately 20 years old, with blond hair. He was wearing yellow, black and green shorts. The vehicle was described as an older, white, four-door sedan.

This vehicle had somewhat tinted windows.
FEBRUARY 10, 2019: At around 2:30 p.m., in the area of 11th Avenue and South Land Park Drive, the victim observed the suspect vehicle following her movements as she was walking in the area.

How Edie Falco Really Feels About Louis C.K.
Jamie Mccarthy/Getty Images
By Joey Keogh/Aug. 13, 2021 11:10 am EST
News broke in early August 2021 that disgraced comedian Louis C.K. would, by his own estimation, be attempting a comeback with a nationwide comedy tour slated to kick off in New York that very same month. As the New York Post reported, C.K. was considered "canceled" following his 2017 sexual harassment scandal, the repercussions of which are still being felt throughout the comedy community.
"Hello Person that you are being right now, I am writing to you today because I am going to be touring around the United States of America, performing stand-up comedy in theaters in several different cities," the "Louie" star wrote in an upbeat email, announcing the tour. He concluded by quipping, "I'm really looking forward to seeing your faces as I tell some rather impolite jokes and stories."
C.K. admitted to his wrongdoing once the lengthy allegations against him became public, acknowledging he wielded his considerable power in the industry "irresponsibly" and promising to do better going forward. Several projects that were in the works at the time were immediately dropped. However, C.K. attempted a comeback in 2018 only to find himself at the center of another scandal after mocking survivors of the Parkland school shooting.
Many high-ranking celebrities have cut ties with him in the years since, but is Edie Falco among them?

Edie Falco is most famous for her Emmy-winning role as Carmela on "The Sopranos" (via IMDb). Elsewhere in her career, Falco took part in Louis C.K.'s ill-fated movie "I Love You, Daddy," which was pulled from release after damning allegations against the comedian were detailed in The New York Times, as Vanity Fair reported at the time.
In a subsequent interview with Vulture, Falco admitted to being disappointed that "I Love You, Daddy" would probably never see the light of day, reasoning that C.K. "worked very hard on it" and had the film ready to go, which seemed unfair. "Louis makes his own stuff and puts it out, and I love that chutzpah," Falco posited.
When asked whether the comedian should get another opportunity to prove his worth, Falco responded, "I certainly hope so." As far as the "Nurse Jackie" star is concerned, C.K. admitted he was at fault and took responsibility for his wrongdoing. "If I was not given another chance a couple of times, there is no way we'd be having this interview right now," Falco said. "People who are committed to becoming aware of what they've done and changing, they can be our strongest proponents in an issue like this."
However, Falco also admitted that she has no idea what the right way forward is and noted that there are still plenty of changes that need to be made.

Home News & Politics Should You Really Leave Question Two Blank on the Recall Ballot?

Should You Really Leave Question Two Blank on the Recall Ballot?
Gavin Newsom's team has advised voters against picking a possible replacement, but that strategy may be flawed
Ian Spiegelman
Ballots for the September 14 recall election include just two questions, and Governor Gavin Newsom's team hopes voters will ignore one of them.
The first question asks voters to choose "Yes" or "No" on whether Newsom should be recalled. If you think Newsom should remain in office, vote "No." If you think Gavin Newsom should be removed from office, vote "Yes."
Question Two asks which of 46 candidates should replace Newsom should more than 50 percent of voters say "Yes" to Question One. The Newsom campaign is urging voters to skip that second one.
"Leave it blank," said Newsom advisor Nathan Click. "Voting no on the recall is the only way to block the Republican power grab and prevent a Republican takeover of California."
It's unclear how, exactly, that strategy helps Newsom, since answering the second question will have no bearing on whether Newsom is ousted, and if enough people vote "Yes" on the first question, one of those 46 candidates will be the next governor—even if as few as 20 percent of voters select them.
Further complicating the matter is the fact that not every Newsom opponent is a Republican. Nine of the contenders are Democrats, ten are "no party preference" candidates, plus a Libertarian, a member of the California National Party, two Green Party members, and Angelyne.
Environmental activist and state Democratic Party delegate Marcia Hanscom says that, while she'll be voting against recalling Newsom, she doesn't support this part of his game plan.
"I know a lot of very smart people and people who are very engaged in political action who still don't seem to understand there are two questions on this recall ballot," she tells the Los Angeles Times. "And the answers to both of these questions are essential."
Kim Alexander, president of the non-partisan group, California Voter Foundation, tells the paper that Newsom's campaign will actually cause problems for their own supporters.
"I think it's unfortunate that the Democratic Party is not giving voters any guidance on what to do on the second question," she says. "It's going to leave a lot of people confused."
Still, the ballots—which some Los Angeles residents started receiving Monday, while others should expect them within seven days, according to texts and emails sent to registered Angelenos by the L.A. County Registrar of Voters—could themselves leave people confused as to why they'd get to pick a new governor if they just voted to keep the old one.
"I can understand why people would wonder," Alexander said. "It's a counterintuitive vote."
L.A. County Registrar Dean Logan thinks it's actually not all that baffling, telling ABC 7, "I think when you actually see it on the ballot, it's not that confusing. It is different than what you normally see in a full scale election, but if you take a look at it, I think the voters will find they can navigate it pretty well."

Talks Resume in Kohler Strike
Tara Jessup
By Steven Wishnia and Neal Tepel
Negotiations resumed Dec. 3 at the Kohler plumbing-fixture company in Wisconsin, where 2,000 workers have been on strike since Nov. 15.
Members of United Auto Workers Local 833, who in 2010 accepted a five-year wage freeze, higher health-care costs, and a two-tier wage system, balked at the company's insistence on preserving two-tier wages and raising health costs again: 94% voted to strike. "It's about wages going backwards," said Local 833 President Tim Tayloe.
"If you look all over the U.S., people think you can live on $10 an hour, and that's absolutely wrong." The local has also circulated a list of 13 members who crossed picket lines, with the heading, "No longer our union brothers or sisters." The plant was the scene of a legendarily bitter strike in 1954, when Kohler attempted to bust Local 833 barely a year after it had won its first contract. The dispute, the longest major strike in U.S. history, lasted until a court settlement in 1965. Read more

Automobiles are the most important part of today's life. It is a basic need for everything like all indoor households and outdoor travels. The discovery of automobiles makes the transportation much faster, easier and reliable. But today, the problem is how to get the automobile with bad credit?
The solution could be to take an auto-loan. But, what if the car is already on auto-loan and a person with auto-loan encounters an auto-loan "broken"? For that reason, the refinancing of the auto-loan is a worthy option.
Now, the question is what is refinancing? Why and how can a person refinance the auto loan? And what if the bad credit is the additive property while refinancing auto-loan? Answering these questions could ease the understanding of the concepts.
Having a current loan needs to be improved in some way.
Finding a financier with better loan terms.
Apply for the new loan.
Recompenses the existing debt completely by the new loan.
Refinancing could be expensive, time-consuming or less attractive than previous loans. However, in spite of a few minuses, it has several leads. These leads are the money saving on interest, lower monthly payments, merged debts, and quicker debt payments, change from the variable loan rate to the fixed rate and so many others.
Refinancing often takes less than an hour. Many financiers assure to make a loan decision in minutes. But, for a successful refinancing, track the following steps for an auto loan.
Substantiate that there are no depositforfeits in current auto-loan agreement and also need the following items to complete auto-loan applications: driver's license, the vehicle identification number of the car, pay stubs from current employer or proof of employment, and Social Security number.
If all the auto-loan payment has made done on time for at least a year or more, the credit history become improved along with a chance of benefits from a refinance.
Applying for several auto-loans to different finance companies can be helpful in comparing interest rates and the best offers. However, the application process cost nothing, but quick learning of lower interest rate.
Firstly, calculate the current loan by calculating the original loan amount, interest rate and the length of the loan in months. Finally, calculate the remaining balance to be paid with the months left till the loan is paid off.
Finalizing the decision of refinancing. Sometimes the difference in interest rate is so minor but sometimes it could be money saving.
Evaluating the terms that either to pay off the debt quickly or to take longer to pay off the loan. Because more quickly the debt is paid lesser the money will be required to pay interest and if the longer time is required to pay the debt, it would be better to miss payments or to damage credit record.
After decision finalization, the application completion process should have to be completed with the financier to get the loan documentation. Now the new financier will pay off the old loan and the new payments will be paid to him in future.
So, the people with bad credit may want to improve their credit scores or they need to drop the interest rates on auto loans.
Now, let's talk about, how people with bad credit can refinance the auto-loan? Here it could be a chance to be denied. In this case, people need to find the "guarantor" or the "cosigner". In this way, it may be an extra impulse to get the loan sanctioned quickly. Otherwise, here are a few ways to consider while auto-loan refinancing with a bad credit score.
Reviewing credit reports to make sure that everything that is reported is actually reported accurately according to the records. Then, Look for errors on credit reports that may be hurting the credit scores and get them resolved before applying to refinance.
By showing that in spite of a poor credit score, debtors made the payments timely and completely on their actual auto-loan, it may improve the chances of refinancing. This could be a good time to prove that the debtor is making an effort to pay down offending balances and are staying on top of all of the outstanding payments or have made progress in handling credit sensibly.
If a debtor has a provable secure income and can illustrate proof that the income can support refinance payments along with other regular compulsions, then the debtor may be able to qualify for a refinance even if the credit is higher.
Earlier looking for a new financier to refinance auto-loan, a debtor may check with the current financier. If he made a series of timely payments, credit scores have improved or interest rates have decreased, the current financier may be ready to either modify or refinance loan to keep up the debtor's business.
After all the above, if the request to refinance an auto-loan is denied because of bad credit, there may be no option other than taking the time to rebuild the credit score and to improve the record. Use the time to gradually pay down outstanding debt and make all payments completely and timely. Check credit score and credit report occasionally, and when the conditions set by the financier met, give it another chance.

The Brazilian made the final three for the 2015 Ballon d'Or, although Messi is heavy favourite to win the trophy for the fifth time in his career.
But asked if he believed Neymar could take over from him at Barcelona, Messi replied: "I don't think he's anybody's successor, he's not succeeding me or anyone else.
"He'll be himself, which is great, and I'm sure he'll continue to evolve and grow.

Juckes also replied to CA reader Mark Rostron and there were a couple of interesting aspects to the response.
the number in the early years may be quite small.
2. How much recent data is there? Does the sampling end in 1980, 26 years ago?
ensure because of the spread of agriculture and nitrogen pollution.
model that has accurately predicted temperature, are any available?
each other in the non instrumental temperature period?
This can obviously be said about anything. So Juckes et al used two Tornetrask versions – did these "represent different parts of the globe"? Maybe one Tornetrask series "represented" Sweden and the other Tornetrask series "represented" Antarctica or South Africa. Anything is possible in their model as stated. Alternatively, if one wanted to test the hypothesis that the Juckes proxies represented different parts of the globe, one way of testing the hypothesis would be to plot the locations. Now Juckes had multiple different geographical locations for Tornetrask, including the middle of the Baltic Sea, but I think that he's prepared to grudgingly concede that all the data comes from northern Sweden. So I guess he was just kidding us when he said that the proxies in the first submission "represented" different parts of tghe globe.
There are still some puzzles in the next step of this beauty contest. The submission included two series from one Quelccaya ice core – one for dO18 and one for accumulation. Did these two series from the same ice core "represent different parts of the globe"? Maybe one of the series "represented" northern Sweden? Or Australia? Or Crawford, Texas? Or Minneapolis? He had 4 different bristlecone and foxtail series, including series only a few tens of miles apart. Did these "represent" different parts of the world through Mannian teleconnection? Maybe the Upper Wright Lakes foxtails represented Poland, Boreal foxtails Afghanistan, the Methuselah Walk bristlecones Thailand and the Indian Garden bristlecone the South Atlantic? IT sounds silly expressed like this, but the assumptions of the "model" do not preclude this.
Here's something else that's fun. We've talked before about Mann's explanation for the failure to use up-to-date proxies: difficulties in deploying "heavy equipment" to remote parts of the world. Bringing the bristlecones up to date for example would require the coring of bristlecones in Sheep Mountain CA, which is at least an hour's drive from the nearest airport in Bishop CA. Updating these records is clearly impossible without a commitment equivalent to the space program. Or is it? Hasn't Hughes already updated these records? It's just that he hasn't reported this in the 5 years since re-sampling in 2002. I've speculated that, if bristlecone ring widths were off the charts as Mannian methodology would predict, we would have heard about it by now, just as we would have heard about Thompson's drilling at Bona -Churchill if there had been an increase in dO18.
Instead of blaming the update failure on the insuperable logistics of going one hour from Bishop CA< Juckes points to potential site contamination by "nitrogen" pollution. Excuse me, wasn't potential nitrogen fertilization one of the possible problems with bristlecones (e..g. NAS Panel)? If fertilization and such are problems in updating the proxies, isn't it possible that fertilization was a problem before 1980?

We get this also in the reply to McIntyre. What sort of nonsense is this? I think an eight year old would understand that if tree ring size was not correlated to local temperature then it is useless as a temperature proxy. And as a poster on another thread observed, if the S/N ratio is less than unity, the proxy should be discarded, rather than promoted.
I think an eight year old would understand that if tree ring size was not correlated to local temperature then it is useless as a temperature proxy.
Well, the teleconnections, you know. Trees is the magical world of the Team are responding to the average hemispheric temperatures, not to the local ones.
And as a poster on another thread observed, if the S/N ratio is less than unity, the proxy should be discarded, rather than promoted.
I don't think discarding data is a good approach. One could instead try to get rid of the noise, e.g., by filtering the proxies. But still, if it really is that SNR of the proxy is below the noise level, I think there should be a serious discussion if these really are good proxies for the temperature. Also, I'd like to know how this SNR was calculated.
though perhaps less geographically dispersed.
Leaving aside the SNR, I don't understand how these people can contend that a series that doesn't correlate with local temperature is a valid proxy for global temperature. Teleconnect me not, I want a physical explanation. I understand that increased temperature over there might have increased precipitation here etc but surely this is all part of the "noise"?
Even if you filter or average to reduce the noise, I think the bigger problem is determining what part of the signal(s) you see is temperature, precipitation, C02 fertilization or some other factor.
A single tree will show growth based on temperature but it will not be possible to separate that from growth based on other factors '€" CO2, sunlight, fertilizer, moisture. For this study, temperature is the (small) signal while the others are (big) noise. The hypothesis is that temperature is the only signal that will affect simultaneously all trees everywhere. So by averaging tree ring data from many trees from all over the world, the noise (CO2, sunlight, moisture, fertilizer and others) will average out to zero leaving only the temperature signal.
I am sorry if this is a foolish input. It has been decades since I did any S/N analysis. But, if my memory is correct, in the olden days to work with SNR less than unity you needed pretty good knowledge of the nature of the signal and of the noise. If this is still true shouldn't examination of the SNR calculations include assessment of whether or not both the signal and the noise data were good enough to support the calculations?
#3, 6. Trees are good proxies for moisture in temperate zones. They are very poor proxies for temperature. Moisture almost always limits growth in the areas where these trees grow. As noted by Veizer during photosynthesis a plant has to exhale almost 1,000 molecules of water for each molecule of CO2 absorbed (the water use efficiency). Only in tropical areas and rain forests is there enough water.
I really get a kick out of Juckes reasoning for not including samples beyond the 80s. What a cop out!
But, if my memory is correct, in the olden days to work with SNR less than unity you needed pretty good knowledge of the nature of the signal and of the noise.
Depends upon what you mean by "pretty good knowledge." Most noise sources are assumed Gaussian (which is not always true to the detriment of the algorithm). Most signals, in the context of this discussion, are typically narrowband w.r.t. the sample rate. Furthermore, multiple observations allow processing to remove noise. All is not lost with less than unity SNR. Having more information about the signal is definitely a plus, however.
Temperatures in the 1990s and following have been unprecedented. This is shown by tree rings, although not by tree rings during the time when temperatures were unprecedented.
Tree rings cannot be shown to respond in a statisitcally significant way to temperatures, at least the temperatures that trees actually experience. But taken in the aggregate, tree rings are indeed a proxy measure for temperatures.
Tree rings tell us that the recent increase in temperatures is unprecedented in at least the last thousand years. If we actually took tree ring measurements for these recent unprecendented years, the tree rings would bear us out on that assertion.
But it is too much trouble to measure these thirteen tree ring series to find out.
….I have tried not to attribute any motivations or feelings to why the assertion of attribution to human activity has been made. Am I making a mistake in stating the facts as we now know them?
#10: Congratulations, you have got it!
May I just add, it is a damn shame that some of the billions of dollars that are being spent on global warming research cannot be allocated to measuring the recent growth of these thirteen tree ring series.
If one were really interested in determining/proving a linkage between temperature and tree ring width/density with an individual record SNR less than one, wouldn't one do some sort of meta-analysis of the different tree ring records against the weather history at each site rather than against a hemispheric average? Not to mention that the confounding variables like CO2 fertilization are strongly correlated with the temperature record. I guess if one is convinced that high CO2 = high temperature, maybe it isn't really a confounding variable.
from a dendrologist on this subject – preferably one, as I said, without a dog in this fight.
And what is the point of taking cores from multiple trees at a site and averaging if not to find the LOCAL "signal" from the "noise" of the many individual trees?
Why average individual trees to come up with a single proxy? What is the justification for this attempt at local signal detection if local signals are not represented in the final multi-proxy result?
Can an average of a group of tree rings at a site act as a better teleconnector than an individual tree ring?
Bernie: slices are rarely used, since the tree must be cut down to obtain a slice. (one could get into megatrouble by cutting down a 4,000 year old bristlecone pine).. Instead, they use a hollow "increment borer" that extracts cores from the trees, and they often have to take multiple cores just to locate the pith (so the rings are perpendicular to the axis of the core). Several "good" cores should be taken from each tree, and several (>10, generally) trees per site should be sampled, if possible (if there's only one very old tree, you may be stuck with that.) It gets tricky getting multiple "good" cores from trees with irregularly shaped boles, which is usually the case for very old trees.
See here for info on tree rings and databases.
Many thanks. I knew about the cores but I had no idea that living bristlecone pines can be 4000 years old.
a misreading of a picture of Mann on RealClimate.org where he is holding what I took to be a slice.
Seems that the picture is somewhat misleading.
I take it from your last comment that you see the analysis of the cores fundamentally difficult.
Thanks for the reference site.
Is it possible that "unprecedented" rise of temperature '€" according to tree ring proxies '€" during last two centuries is in fact result of just CO2 fertilization? CO2 increase in atmosphere is global phenomenon, not a local noise.
Could it be that tree ring temperature proxies are the darling of AGW crowd (and not ocean sediment, stalagmite, etc. proxies) for exactly this reason? Or tree ring proxies could be more easily manipulated?
They definitely prefer weather station data instead of satellite and weather balloon measurements even for last 25 years, for quite obvious reasons.
I think my favourite quote from a dendrologist was the one about "The great thing about dendroclimatology is that you can select which tree rings to use to enhance your signal" or words to that effect.
This description of the apparent way bristlecone rings develop raise even more questions in my mind. However, I am sure that there are experts visiting this site who can clarify how the measurement process actually works.
I also assume that we have accurate local climate measuresments that allow the modeling of the relationship between tree ring width, temperature, precipitation, cloud cover, etc. Or do the above comments by JH and DP summarize the lamentable lack of foundation for the use of these proxies.
I also assume that we have accurate local climate measuresments that allow the modeling of the relationship between tree ring width, temperature, precipitation, cloud cover, etc.
In the case of the bristlecones, whose increase in ring width in the 20th century is responsible for the hockey stick shape of MBH, then yes, there is a climate station reasonably nearby.
Unfortunately, it shows pretty much flat average temperatures over the 20th century.
Clearly I need to do more reading. I have read through Wegman et al and the subsequent questions. I am off to read the NAS report. Are there any other authorative discussions on BristleCone proxies? A solid defense of their use might also be informative.
That is odd. I am off to read the NAS report, but are there any other authoritative articles on the use of Bristlecones as proxies? Any reasonabe defenses of their use as temperature proxies?
#23. Look at the citations in our EE 2005 article. I tried to review relevant literature on bristlecones and there were multiple problems. Also if you go to Bristlecones in the Categories frame here, you'll see a vaiety of posts and discussion about bristlecones.
At the end of the day, it's amazing how intransigent the Team is about keeping bristlecones and foxtails in their calculations – I wonder why.
A rhetorical question is a figure of speech in the form of a question posed to make a statement or initiate introspection rather than for the purpose of getting an answer. ("How many times do I have to tell you to stop walking into the house with mud on your shoes?").
A rhetorical question seeks to encourage reflection within the listener as to what the answer to the question (at least, the answer implied by the questioner) must be. When a speaker declaims, "How much longer must our people endure this injustice?" or "Will our company grow or shrink?", no formal answer is expected.
However, just to see if I have got it right. Could it be that their corpus falls apart if the bristlecones and foxtails are taken out of their calculations?
You are spoiling the fun!!
Anyone want to produce a plot of tree ring width vs. area of land under irrigation, in the state of California over the last 100 years? Even from the air you can see the areas of California that are irrigated, huge circles of green against the background of brown. Irrigation must raise the water vapor content of the air, and raise the dew point. Is the irrigation water making its way to the Bristlecones?
One thing I will say about Juckes is that, at least he replies.
To give him his due, whilst we may not be satisfied with the responses he is giving, at least he engages somewhat, rather than the standard Hockey Team response of, "Run away!" This leads me to believe that he might actually believe in what he's supporting.
I can respect someone who is at least prepared to try and defend their position.
I cannot stand cowards such as Mann and Jones, who toss cake from their windows at Versailles, then return to the fawning adoration of their courtiers.
Heck, BradH, I think all of the team seriously believe that their studies are defensible. And I don't think that there is some kind of conspiracy.
I also am not impressed with Juckes "replies". Responding to pages and pages of clear problems in his paper with a few content free sentences that basically say "No, no, you're wrong and I'm right" is not replying in my book. In some ways, I prefer Mann's method … at least he's not pretending to reply.
Re #29: Willis, I agree with your comment.
In effect, the questions and comments put up in response to the Juckes et al paper are those of generally informed reviewers, and as I understand it, it is the intent of the COPD modus operandi to expose new papers to such review.
It can be understood that an author might want to dismiss trivial or obviously uninformed questions. However, to this observer, there were precious few, if any of those. Sound scientific practice surely requires that an author respond constructively to reviewer's questions. That Martin Juckes has chosen not to do so is highly visible to interested observers, and also to the COPD people.
Scientists will just have to accept that the development of the internet and blogs brings transparency to their work these days, and they must expect their work to become subject to detailed scrutiny.
Confident scientists welcome this scrutiny, and will engage with those who question their work. Scientists less confident about their work may engage in less than co-operative practices that we have seen from a few working in the area in recent times, now apparently joined by Martin Juckes et al.
It would be very interesting to know whether the 'et al' co-authors endorse Martin Juckes approach.
RE: #27 – You have an excellent point. In particular, I have to wonder what impacts all the mid to late 20th century new irrigation in Western Nevada and the Colorado Valley has made on precipitatable water of moonsonal convective storms, which serve as the primary source of warm season moisture beyond snow melt remnent moisture. This is particularly true during the August – October time frame, when the snow is at maximum melt back and there is no way that any mid latitude cyclonic storms can make it past the combination of the Pacific High and the Sierra Nevada.
At CoPD on 18 April 2007, one Hugues Goosse who describes himself as Editor has posted a response to the Reviewer 1 Comment on the Juckes paper.
A link to the Goosse response is here . It's hard to figure out why the Editor is responding under the comments of a specific reviewer rather than as a separate thread as in the Burger and Cubasch paper. They mention a "revised" version although no such revised version has appeared online. It looks to me like that the revised version made only cosmetic changes, that the editor is not satisfied with the situation and has required a substantial re-write.
Editor Goosse has coauthored recently with Mann. Our criticisms of Juckes were not even mentioned by Goosse.
Unlike the Burger and Cubasch paper last summer, where online re-submission was required for a major re-write, he seems to have created a situation where the authors can circumvent online scrutiny for their re-write. We shall see.
Our criticisms of Juckes were not even mentioned by Goosse.
damn those denialists 😉 No link to CA at RC, etc.
So if this paper is published by editorial fiat with the peer reviews being ignored, how could it ever be usedthe IPCC which relies on peer-reviewed research. Publication by editorial fiat would render this paper useless.
Mann's Climate over Climate Over the Past Two Millennia (*) will be published soon..
.. and it relies heavily on Robustness of Proxy-based Climate Field Reconstruction Methods, which we will see soon as well.
And then we'll get Wahl and Ammann. Peer review works.
(*) Storch assumes unrealistically large inflation of variance, even larger than the one we saw in MBH99 🙂 !

Monica Shah & Karishma Swali of Jade, the much sought after bridal couture label, present a stunning new destination at Peddar Road, South Mumbai as the label embarks on their 10th year journey.
JADE's new Mumbai store is a well-designed "home" for a bride
JADE's new store is designed in the style of a traditional north Indian "haveli"
By Nilofar Haja
Photography by JADE
As eagerly as a bride and groom await their wedding nuptials, nothing beats the excitement and anticipation with which they would welcome the opportunity to shop for their trousseau, especially the bride. Designers Monica Shah and Karishma Swali's new store in Mumbai feels like a luxurious space that a bride-to-be would feel right at home in.
It has the right degree of warmth and tastefully done up interiors that makes it feel akin to someone's home. The 3,500-square-foot space spells discreet luxury and dynamic harmony between the bridal designer wear on display and the space it is housed within.
Launched in early 2008 on Mumbai's Peddar Road, the brand has come full circle through their journey to Hyderabad, and now, through their new flagship destination store in the heart of the city. The opulent interiors, designed by Monica, who is also a certified architect and interior designer, feels like a sanctuary for shoppers. The space has been conceptualized in keeping with JADE's DNA of taking inspiration from India's heritage and reinventing the use of age-old techniques to make it relevant for today's brides.
Handcrafted artefacts have been juxtaposed against an otherwise sparse space. The artefacts are given their due as installations rather than being integrated as a part of the interiors, making patrons feel like they are walking through an art gallery. The installations compliment JADE's couture collections, also intricately embroidered, using age-old techniques.
The artefacts, each with a history and story of its own finding its way to JADE's, have been picked by the designers over the years during their travels to different parts of India. As a result no two sections of the flagship are the same and it becomes a journey of discovery as you are led from one section to another, integrating rare masterpieces of varying origins and eras into one seamless wonder.
"The nuances of creativity, space and time have always intrigued us. Why a certain craftsmanship is born and thrives over centuries only in a specific region? Almost as if the earth of the region was destined to sprout a certain craft just as the flora and fauna are specific to a region. This fascination played an important role in outlining the concept when we set out to design the space that was to be JADE's concept flagship," said Monica.
On display are also the designer's personal collections of fabrics collected from all over the world. An array of fabrics and saris, most of which are old, are a testimony to handcrafted skills handed down from one generation to another over many centuries; hand woven, hand embroidered, block printed, and tie-dyed masterpieces that make this space a treasure trove of textile crafts as well.
The new flagship store houses all of JADE's lines under one roof, making it convenient for a bride to plan her trousseau. 'Amoh by Jade' the popular new luxury pret line is displayed in the very first section, followed by the couture line which is for occasion wear, and lastly the Signature Bridal Heirlooms atelier, which is by appointment only and contains all of JADE's bespoke collection for brides.
"The idea was to create a space that embraces you and envelops you in an ambience that is inspiring, while celebrating a design ethos that is India's heritage. A space that draws you within as it encourages you to discover every nook and corner, all at your own pace", adds Karishma.
Address: Mewar Apartments, Next to Sophia College Lane, Peddar Road, Mumbai | Call: 9833115000 | Timings: Monday to Saturday, 10AM to 8PM.
No two sections of the flagship are the same and it becomes a journey of discovery as you are led from one section to another, integrating rare masterpieces of varying origins and eras into one seamless wonder.

The Chicagoland Half Marathon Series of events have a strict No Refund, No Transfer policy. The sale/transfer of race bibs is not permitted by the organization and is grounds for immediate disqualification and potential banning from all Life Time, Inc and USA Track & Field events.
