CLIMATE CHANGE: Obama to Visit Copenhagen with U.S. Targets
By Matthew O. Berger Reprint | | Print |
Matthew Berger
WASHINGTON, Nov 25 2009 (IPS) - After weeks of speculation, the White House announced Wednesday that President Barack Obama will stop by the climate talks to be held in Copenhagen next month en route to Oslo, where he will receive his Nobel Peace Prize Dec. 10.
The announcement comes after Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen sent invitations to the leaders of 191 countries last week requesting their attendance at the Dec. 7–18 U.N.-led summit. Sunday, he announced over 60 had confirmed so far.
But Obama – as well as Chinese President Hu Jintao – had been conspicuously absent from the list of attendees. His visit will still be only brief and, significantly, very early in the conference. Decisions are not likely to be reached until the last several days.
Citing the administration's work in encouraging climate action at international summits and in the U.S. Congress, Michael Froman, Obama's deputy national security adviser for international economic matters, told reporters Wednesday, "Based on all of those developments and on the recent progress [Obama] made the decision that it made sense to go to Copenhagen…on the 9th, to give momentum to the negotiations there."
The decision comes as pressure has increased, at home and abroad, for Obama to attend. The announcement that leaders such as Britain's Gordon Brown, Germany's Angela Merkel and Japan's Yukio Hatoyama would attend put the spotlight on the absences of Obama and Jintao and the fact that his visit is so early still leaves some climate action proponents unsatisfied.
"We are pleased that President Obama will be in Copenhagen during the early part of the climate summit…If his presence during the latter days of the COP [conference of parties] becomes necessary to secure the right commitments, we hope the president will be willing to return to Copenhagen with the rest of the world's leaders during the final stages of the negotiations," said World Wildlife Fund climate programme director Keya Chatterjee Wednesday.

White House announcement on U.S. emissions cuts
Copenhagen climate conference
Maybe more exciting for those hoping to see a substantive plan emerge from the conference, the White House also announced Wednesday that it would bring a specific offer of reductions in U.S. greenhouse gas emissions to the table at Copenhagen. Still, the reductions fall short of what they may have hoped for.
Obama will present a U.S. emissions target "in the range of 17 percent below 2005 levels in 2020 and ultimately in line with final U.S. energy and climate legislation", according to a statement from the White House. This number is the same as that in the U.S. House of Representatives' Waxman-Markey climate bill, which passed in June.
"What we're saying is in the range of 17 percent. Waxman-Markey, as you all are aware, passed [with] 17 percent. The debate is not completed yet in the Senate. When the debate is fully completed then we will adjust accordingly," said Carol Browner, assistant to the president for energy and climate change. The current Senate bill hopes for 20 percent.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, however, has recommended a 25-40 percent decrease of greenhouse gas emissions from industrialised countries by 2020, based on 1990 levels. (According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S.'s 1990 level of GHG emissions was 6,099. In 2005 it was 7,109, an increase of over 10 percent.)
"The 17-percent number is consistent with what Congress has been debating and we hope legislation eventually reaches an even higher target," said World Resources Institute President Jonathan Lash.
"In announcing a provisional 2020 emissions target, the White House is making a strong and credible offer consistent with the emerging bipartisan consensus in Congress," said Eileen Claussen of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change.
But to put the Obama commitment in a global context, Britain pledged a 34-percent cut by 2020 back in April and Japan's Hotoyama has promised a 25-percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by 2020 – both according to 1990 levels. Brazil announced earlier this month that it is willing to cut its emissions 38-40 percent by 2020, based on its projected 2020 levels if no action were taken.
China, which has surpassed the U.S. as the world leader in carbon dioxide emissions, is expected to make an announcement in the next week.
Wednesday's announcement could be seen as a response to a growing disappointment from those who backed Obama in his presidential campaign, when he promised to take action on climate change, and who now see him as dithering on fulfilling that commitment.
The White House announcement was conveyed in a lengthy statement which detailed the administration's efforts in curtailing climate change during Obama's time in office, meant to "highlight an impressive resume of American action and accomplishments over the last ten months."
Among the actions detailed were 80 billion dollars the U.S. is investing in clean energy through its Recovery Act economic stimulus package.
Hopes for a binding treaty at Copenhagen were already dashed when leaders from the top economic powers announced that goal was no longer practical. Instead, they hope the conference will be a step toward an agreement that would be reached sometime next year.
The U.N.-led talks had seemed even less significant without the U.S. president as many observers had seen an Obama-less summit as lacking the credibility needed for substantive action.
"President Obama's willingness to go to Copenhagen and put numbers on the table are two necessary pieces to make a binding global agreement possible," Lash said.
With Obama booked, the focus returns to the question of what that action may look like.
"At this point, with two weeks left before Copenhagen, the focus is on how to create an accord that has immediate operational effect and covers all the major areas of the negotiation. It's a comprehensive accord that can get a quick start at dealing with the climate change issues," said Froman.
This would form the first step toward a treaty next year.
The full U.S. delegation will include four Cabinet secretaries and several other top administration officials, including Browner. The delegation will be in attendance "throughout" the conference, she said Wednesday.

David Pastrnak and why a bridge deal won't work for anyone
It's a common suggestion, but it does little more than put off the problem.

Share All sharing options for: David Pastrnak and why a bridge deal won't work for anyone

Liiiiiiiiiiiiiike a bridge over salary cap troubles...
Alright, now that we've gotten our Simon and Garfunkel fix, let's talk about one of hockey's biggest gambles: the bridge deal!
Yes, the ol' "we're not so sure yet, so let's just try this out for a while" contract. Nothing says "you're an important part of this franchise and we want you here" quite like a bridge deal.
The idea behind a bridge contract is to have a player "prove it" to the team, and is normally the last obstacle to a long-term deal.
The Bruins have used bridge contracts a number of times in the past, most recently with Tuukka Rask. Unsure that he was ready to be the full-time netminder after the 2012 season, the Bruins offered Rask a one-year deal for $3.5 million. He took it, then promptly went out, led the Bruins to the Stanley Cup Final, and cashed in big time.
But therein lies the risk in the bridge deal: it can make things worse for a team just as easily as it can make things better. (It's worth noting that the same logic applies for the player as well.)
With negotiations seemingly stalled and very early (and, apparently, very bogus) trade rumors floating about, Bruins fans antsy for a David Pastrnak contract are starting to murmur about the "bridge deal."
This would be a truly terrible idea, both for Pastrnak and the Bruins.
In some cases, a bridge deal can give a team a bit of temporary wiggle room, allowing it a little time to finagle its way out of a tough spot. However, in this case, a bridge deal would likely end up really screwing one side.
For the sake of argument, let's assume this bridge deal would be a year or two max.
Why a bridge deal would be terrible for the Bruins:
It would probably drive up the price. Bridge deals work when you're not quite sold on a guy yet and need him to prove he can hold his own. Pastrnak is not one of those guys. He was nearly a point-per-game guy last year at the age of 21. He scored 34 goals in the regular season and added two more in the playoffs. There's no reason to expect Pastrnak to slow down next year. If he goes out and scores 40, he's going to want even more than he wants now.
It could create animosity. Pastrnak undoubtedly feels like he deserves to get paid. He's had a great few seasons as a Bruin, and has turned into an asset far faster than anyone in the organization expected when he was drafted. While it's not THAT bad to be told "eh, we're not sold on you yet," it certainly doesn't lead to warm and fuzzy feelings.
It's just going to lead to more problems next summer. Picture this: the Bruins sign Pastrnak to a one-year deal. He has a great year. Awesome! We get to do all of this again next summer. The Bruins have a number of other guys to take care of after next season. RFAs include Ryan Spooner, Frank Vatrano, Rob O'Gara, Kenny Agostino, Matt Grzelcyk, Anton Blidh, Sean Kuraly and Austin Czarnik; Zdeno Chara will be a UFA, as will Anton Khudobin and Paul Postma. Not all of those guys will be re-signed, but that's a lot of dudes to consider while also considering signing Pastrnak.
Why a bridge deal would be terrible for David Pastrnak:
He's produced, so what's the point? It's hard to imagine a situation where Pastrnak would be cool with some kind of one-year, $5 million deal. He's been a great player while he's been here. He's been a great team guy, a great community guy, etc. Why would the Bruins not just give him the deal he deserves? To Pastrnak, a bridge deal would probably end up seeming like the team was just cheaping out on him.
He'd be put in a position to take unnecessary risks to "prove" himself. For Pastrnak, the risk/reward of a bridge deal is pretty heavily weighted in the "risk" camp. He's already done great as a pro; is he really going to do "better enough" next year to get himself a considerable raise? More importantly, what would he have to do? This attitude only increases the chance that he could get injured at any point next year, which could drastically reduce his value when he comes to the end of that bridge. And it'd be the team's own fault.
He wouldn't be any better off next year. A bridge deal of a year or two would just leave Pastrnak in the same exact situation. He'd still be a restricted free agent and he still wouldn't have much leverage going into next year. Sure, he could elect to go for arbitration, but that's hardly an upper hand. Rather than put himself at risk of injury or a down year hurting his pay day, Pastrnak would be better served to simply pull the car over before he gets to the bridge.
The best-case scenario for the Bruins contract-wise would probably be something like Leon Draisaitl signed today, albeit at a lower dollar amount. A long-term deal would, if Pastrnak continues to develop, look like a bargain in a year or two, much like Patrice Bergeron's deal does now.
The best-case scenario for Pastrnak contract-wise would probably be a four-year deal with an AAV of slightly under his current worth. That way, he'd be able to produce for a few years, drive his value up and cash in as an unrestricted free agent at contract's end.
Boy, the next few weeks should be fun!

2 Republicans draft new measure for Hoosiers choosing between 'jobs and medical freedom'
by: Gregg Montgomery
Posted: Nov 29, 2021 / 04:11 PM EST / Updated: Dec 3, 2021 / 06:24 PM EST
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Two Indiana House Republicans on Monday introduced a measure to allow Gov. Eric Holcomb to end renewals of the public health emergency during the coronavirus pandemic.
Reps. Bob Behning and Mike Speedy, both from Indianapolis, co-authored the new measure, House Bill 1001. In statements, they mentioned Hoosiers "choosing between their jobs and medical freedom" and Indiana residents' ability to make "medical decisions that are in line with their deeply held religious beliefs and medical needs without fear of losing their livelihoods."
It's the first measure to be posted for the 2022 legislative session, which usually translates into a high priority for the House, which has a supermajority of Republicans.
The House Employment, Labor and Pensions Committee will meet at 9 a.m. Dec. 16 in the House chamber to hear testimony on House Bill 1001. The committee will be livestreamed on iga.in.gov.
The measure comes after last week's stalled attempt by Republicans to fast-track a measure through the legislature for the same purpose. Majority Leader Matt Lehman had presented last week's proposal as a step toward protecting Hoosiers' rights by allowing workers to claim medical or religious exemptions if their employers required COVID-19 vaccinations. Lehman's proposal came upon heated public testimony and a lack of agreement among legislators.
Holcomb on Oct. 29 issued the 20th renewal of the initial public health emergency declaration for the COVID-19 pandemic. The latest renewal expires Dec. 1, but the Republican governor has said he will again extend the declaration. He also has continued to extend limited provisions — including licensing of medical professionals, and COVID control measures for public facilities — to address the spread of the coronavirus.
The new measure also comes as coronavirus cases and hospitalizations are increasing in the state.
According a digest for the measure, it would:
Allow the secretary of Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) to issue a waiver of human services statutory provisions and administrative rules if the secretary determines that the waiver is necessary to claim certain enhanced federal matching funds available to the Medicaid program.
Allow the FSSA secretary to issue an emergency declaration for purposes of participating in specified authorized federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) emergency allotments.
Require the FSSA secretary to prepare and submit any waivers or emergency declarations to the budget committee.
Allow the state health commissioner of the state Department of Health or the commissioner's designated public health authority to issue standing orders, prescriptions, or protocols to administer or dispense certain immunizations for individuals who are at least 5 years old. Current law limits the age for the commissioner's issuance of standing orders, prescriptions, and protocols for individuals who are at least 11 years old.
Define "Indiana governmental entity" and specify that an Indiana governmental entity may not issue or require an immunization passport. Current law refers to a state or local unit instead of an Indiana governmental entity.
Provide that an employer may not impose a requirement that employees receive an immunization against COVID-19 unless the employer provides individual exemptions that allow an employee to opt out of the requirement on the basis of medical reasons or religious reasons.
Require an employer to provide employees with an option to submit to testing for the presence of COVID-19 not more than once a week at no cost to the employee in lieu of receiving an immunization against COVID-19.
Provide that an employer may not require an employee who has tested positive for and recovered from COVID-19 to receive an immunization against COVID-19 for the six-month period following the employee's date of recovery.
Provide that an employer may not take an adverse employment action against an employee because the employee has requested or used an exemption from an employer's COVID-19 immunization requirement.
In 2022, the legislature is scheduled to convene Jan. 11 and adjourn March 14.

"It should always be up to an individual and their health-care provider to make medical decisions. Overreach by the federal government has backed hardworking Hoosiers into a corner, and now many are choosing between their jobs and medical freedom. I'm ready to address this issue head on with legislation that helps protect Indiana residents and their liberties."
Indiana state Rep. Bob Behning, an Indianapolis Republican
"Our individual freedoms and liberties don't end when a pandemic happens. Hoosiers should be able to continue making medical decisions that are in line with their deeply held religious beliefs and medical needs without fear of losing their livelihoods. Information is readily available from many trusted sources to empower each person to make the choice that's best for them and their family."
Indiana state Rep. Mike Speedy, an Indianapolis Republican

Tina Madonia Studio: Something to try.
This for those of you who have frames that don't quite work for you. Whether the frame is too dark or not the right color.
I started with the dark frame. I felt the frame was to strong and kept the eye away from the painting. So I painted the frame with a spay Rustolium graphite and a silver in top of that. I like Krylon spay paints better they seem easier to control how much is sprayed at a time. I used what I had at the time.
If you look at the silver frame it brings out the gray roof on the covered bridge as well as other grays in the cement part of the bridge. The frame is now becoming more a part of the painting.
Don't be afraid to make changes if you are not happy with your frame. You have nothing to lose and may be pleasantly surprised.

Bentley Motors: 2017 Continental GT
The 2017 Continental GT is the manifestation of a new design language developed by Luc Donckerwolke and Sang Yup Lee for future Bentley Models. It was first seen by the public on the Speed 6 concept at the Geneva Motor Show in 2015, and later aspects of that design were adopted and developed for the new GT.
John Paul Gregory who at the time was Lead Exterior Designer, later to become Exterior Design Chief, was responsible for the Speed 6. He was key to the development of the new Continental GT, ensuring that the design lineage and new exterior language was maintained and progressed relative to the new Bentley vision. Upon the cars unveiling, shortly before the Geneva Motor Show in 2017, the car received widespread positive reviews and reactions from the press, customers and general public alike. The cars has been a renowning success for Bentley.
As usual I was heavily involved in this project from the outset. The new GT marked a departure from the VW/Audi MLB platforms and instead the Bentley was to be built on the new Porsche MSB platform. This would give the car far better proportions and handling credentials. Along with the design and engineering teams input, I produced several exterior volume models to explore the best proportions for the new GT based around the modular MSB platform. This then became the basis for the styling proposals that followed.
I continued to be involved in the project right up until the car was handed over to the 'A' class surfacing team, managing a team of Alias Modellers developing one of the themes, and later producing VRED renderings for internal events and presentations.

Public pressure works. Readers who followed my earlier suggestion and backed BHA's Write-to-your-MP campaign, take heart. If you haven't yet done so, do it now; the message has been updated to cover the most recent developments. And all of us, take note. Publicity, and public reaction, do make a difference.
BHA has told us that the Oxford-Cambridge-RSA Examination Board has reversed its earlier policy of allowing schools to censor its questions because of their religious beliefs, and I do not believe that this would have happened without exposure and public outcry.
Last summer we discovered that two schools had redacted questions before the students sat the exams. We immediately launched malpractice investigations and brought the issue to the attention of the Regulator, Ofqual.
We also alerted Ofsted and the Department for Education as we felt that it raised more general concerns that extended beyond matters of assessment, to the delivery of the National Curriculum and student entitlement. We also raised the issue with our fellow Awarding Bodies.
We have now been able to consider our position and have concluded that as a matter of policy schools should not be permitted to tamper with question papers prior to a student sitting an exam (in cases where changes are required to facilitate disabled candidate access, adjustments are made by the Awarding Body).
Having looked into the issue, we concluded that while the practice was very rare, it should not be allowed.
Denying learners access to all the questions on a paper prevents the candidate achieving their full potential and therefore disadvantages them. It also threatens the validity of the qualification.
If awarding organisations suspect that schools or centres are redacting exam papers in the future we would expect them to act in the same way as they would for any other case of malpractice.
And more. As BHA reports, the Government has revised the single Academies model funding agreement to bring it in line with the Free Schools model funding agreement in preventing Academies from teaching pseudoscience and to require the teaching of evolution.
The Academy Trust must ensure that so far as is reasonably practicable and consistent with [faith-based admissions, Religious Education and Collective Worship] and the Equality Act 2010, the policies and practices adopted by the Academy (in particular regarding curriculum, uniform and school food) enable pupils of all faiths and none to play a full part in the life of the Academy, and do not disadvantage pupils or parents of any faith or none [emphasis added].
Ominous language. What if a school claims that it is not practical to teach evolution, or that its ethos requires creationism to be taught as sacred truth in Religious Education? And a further requirement "that principles are promoted which support fundamental British values" raises other concerns, presupposing as they do that Government has the right to define such values.
Nonetheless, the take-home message is clear. Keep pushing. We are not faced, as we should be, with an open door, but neither are we face with one that is securely bolted against us. Numerous issues, which I have mentioned many times, remain, but both Government and other bodies are to some extent at least responsive to public opinion. It is up to us to keep on reminding them that we, the defenders of science, are part of that public.
Conservative politician caught lying. Learning from creationists. And the origins of plate tectonics. Last November, creationist objectors in Texas tried yet again to sabotage the state's textbook adoption process. One of the objections concerned the age of the Earth, using the long refuted cooling argument that goes back to Kelvin in the 1860s. An online conversation about the matter directed me to the real flaw in Kelvin's reasoning, which is different from what I had believed (see my earlier posting). Further digging led me to the oldest formulation I know of Intelligent Design (ID) creationism (of course, it was not called that, but "Unsolved Problems of Science". Now over a century old, it already shows the key features of "modern" ID, even down to the link with conservative politics, and the despicable misuse of fraudulently edited quotations. Kelvin's reasoning was based on a very simple physical model, heat flow from a solid sphere initially at uniform high temperature. This model, and estimates of the rate of heat flow and temperature gradient, led him to assign a maximum age of a mere hundred million years, with the most probable age around a quarter of that. And yet the argument from radiometric dating, something with which Kelvin himself was never happy, gives overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Rutherford, and everyone else for decades afterwards, thought that Kelvin's error lay in the neglect of the heat generated within the earth by radioactive decay itself. Actually, it is a mistake to imagine that radioactive heating has all that much to do with it, and I must confess to having repeated this mistake many times in my own teaching and writing. The real error (details here and in Pt I)had been pointed out a decade before Rutherford confronted Kelvin at the Royal Institution, and three years before radioactivity had even been discovered. Kelvin's calculation only considered heat transfer by conduction, whereas convection from depth is far more important. Convection can efficiently transport heat over long distances. It would have brought far more to the surface than Kelvin's model allowed for, meaning that it must have taken far longer to get rid of it. John Perry, one of Kelvin's own former students, was sure that Kelvin's estimate of the earth's age was far too low, suggested that Kelvin could have drastically underestimated the efficiency of heat transfer, and even suggested that the Earth's interior could be in a partly molten state, making convection possible. In this piece, I want to talk about two things, how I learned the error of my ways, and exactly what it was that goaded Perry into an uncharacteristic public quarrel with his former mentor. I will also very briefly discuss the enormous importance of mantle convection for the present-day science of geology. First, the question of John Perry's timing. If Kelvin had been promoting his cooling argument since 1862, why did no one query his physical assumptions until Perry did so in 1894? The answer, according to the historian Brian Shipley (now Canadian consul in Minneapolis), lies more in the domain of politics than of science.
In the late 19th century, the annual meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science was an event of major importance. Presidential addresses had been given by Kelvin, by T. H. Huxley, and in 1892 by Sir Archibald Geikie, the most eminent British geologist of the time. In his address, Geikie tactfully thanked Kelvin for bringing physics to bear on the problems of geology, and for pointing out that thismeant that the earth could not be indefintley old as the geologists of half a century earlier had imagined. Nonetheless, he insisted that the Earth had to be much older than Kelvin would admit, and that therefore there must be some flaw, yet to be discovered, in Kelvin's reasoning. In 1894, the Association met in Oxford. The Presidential Address was in part a response to Geikie. It was given by Lord Salisbury, a senior Conservative politician, who would be responsible for the Boer War among other things, and was the last Prime Minister to run his administrations from the House of Lords. Salisbury was extremely pessimistic by temperament, believing that "Whatever happens will be for the worse, and therefore it is in our interest that as little should happen as possible." It is not surprising, then, that he was unsympathetic to the idea of evolution. Some of Salisbury's remarks make one nostalgic for an earlier age, before the mid–20th century phenomenon of "scientific creationism". "Few men", he says, "are now influenced by the strange idea that questions of religious belief depend on the issues of physical research. Few men, whatever their creed, would now seek their geology in the books of their religion…". Alas, this is exactly the way proponents of "creation science" would have us proceed, rejecting all evidence that cannot be fitted into a biblical framework. Salisbury also praises Darwin, and refers to the "lasting and unquestioned effect" of his work in disposing of the doctrine of the immutability of species, so that "Few are now found to doubt that animals separated by differences far exceeding those that distinguished what we know as species have yet descended from common ancestors." But it is all downhill from there.
We accept natural selection, not because we are able to demonstrate the process in detail, not even because we can read more or less easily imagine it, but simply because we must – because it is the only possible explanation that we can conceive. We must assume natural selection to be the principle of the explanation of the metamorphoses, because all other apparent principles of explanation fail us, and it is inconceivable that there could yet be another capable of explaining the adaptation of organisms without assuming the help of a principle of design.
We accept it [natural selection], not because we are able to demonstrate the process in detail, not even because we can read more or less easily imagine it, but simply because we must – because it is the only possible explanation that we can conceive. For there are only two possible a priori explanations of adaptations for the naturalist – namely, the transmission of functional adaptations [as Weismann termed acquired characters] and natural selection; but as the first of these can be excluded, only the second remains.
I have always felt that the hypothesis of natural selection does not contain the true theory of evolution, if evolution has been in biology…. I feel profoundly convinced that the argument of design has been greatly too much lost sight of in recent zoological speculations. Overpoweringly strong proofs of intelligent and benevolent design lie around us, and if ever perplexities, whether metaphysical or scientific, turn us away from them for a time, they come back upon us with irresistible force, showing us through Nature the influence of a free will, and teaching us that all living things depend on one everlasting [ever-acting?] Creator and Ruler.
I very much doubt if Perry had been following the lengthy and complex debate between Spencer and Weismann on the mechanism of evolution, but he would certainly have known of the various methods, such as the thickness of sediments, that geologists at that time were using to estimate the age of the Earth. To him, Kelvin's much less generous estimate was the anomaly, and, when this estimate was invoked by someone of Salisbury's eminence for semi-religious or even political purposes, that was enough to goad him into action. I found out about this all rather indirectly. As I admitted in my last post, one of my many vices is commenting in online forums. So when Jerry Coyne's website, Why Evolution Is True, asked what cooling had to do with last November's Texas textbook adoption drama, I wrote a comment that mentioned Kelvin and Rutherford. I also gave there, as an example of creationist absurdity, an alleged repudiation of Rutherford in a 1978 Institute for Creation Research pamphlet by Harold Slusher and T. P. Gamwell, cited by Bob Jones University. Just to be safe, I did a Google search on Slusher and Gamwell, and the only appraisal I could find dismissed their work, on the grounds that it had considered diffusion of heat across a plane surface, rather than the surface of a sphere. Reality, as always, is more interesting. My comment got a rejoinder from one Robert Seidel, who pointed out to me the paper by Englander and colleagues that I discussed on my last post. This, based on current estimates of radioactive heating, actually confirms Slusher and Gamwell's conclusion, and in correspondence Englander told me that the difference between a plane and a sphere is quite unimportant in this context, since conductive cooling would only have penetrated in 5 billion years to one tenth of the Earth's radius. But none of this really matters in the great scheme of things, because Kelvin's argument, as we saw before, is swept aside by mantle convection. Conclusions: never take a quotation from a real scientist in a creationist text at face value. Strange things happen in the quote mine, as we have seen. But on the other hand, just because an argument refutes creationism, that doesn't always mean it's right. Just because an argument is used to support creationism, that doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong; quite probably, as in the Slusher and Gamwell case, it's simply irrelevant. And just because something is said by creationists, that doesn't mean there's nothing to be learned from it. "Learn even from your enemies", said Ovid, and he was right.
A quick afterword (a complete afterword would invoke a large part of all geological studies for the past 40 years): by around 1930 it had become clear, from how the shockwaves caused by earthquakes travel, that the solid crust of the Earth floats on a viscous fluid, the mantle. Arthur Holmes, the most farsighted physical geologist of his generation, realised that this would imply mantle convection. He spelt out some of the implications of this in a remarkable paper in Transactions of the Geological Society of Glasgow. Heat would build up (see thumbnail) beneath over-large continents, attracting upward convective flow which would eventually tear them apart. New basaltic crust would appear at such separation zones, while old crust would disappear in regions of downward flow. Thus for the continents to move it it would not be necessary for them to force their way through basement rock, an obvious physical impossibility, but merely to ride on that moving basement like luggage on a conveyor belt. To use the language adopted a full generation later, when these ideas at last gained general acceptance, Holmes was describing rifting, subduction, and plate tectonics. An earlier version of this post appeared in 3 Quarks Daily. I thank Philip England, Philip Kitcher, Peter Molnar, Brian Shipley, and one Robert Seidel (if you see this, Robert, please identify yourself so I'll know just who to thank) for helpful discussions. I wrote to Prof Dan Olinger of Bob Jones University regarding his University's portrayal of the Earth's age in December 2013. He assured me that his colleagues would reply to my questions, but they have not yet done so.


DOM'S DOMAIN POLITICS: WILL THIS DEMOCRACY BODY-TACKLE TRUMP?
WILL THIS DEMOCRACY BODY-TACKLE TRUMP?
Trump: The American dollar is too strong – my fault for doing so well.
Health care is more complicated than people thought.
Xi explained to me in 10 minutes the history of China and Korea, so "it's not so easy as I thought" for them to deal with North Korea.
My military has been so successful in the last eight weeks compared to the previous eight years.
China is no longer a currency manipulator.
Steve Bannon? He is just someone who works for me and actually came late to my campaign.
We'd better use the special elections and the big one in 2018 to surround him with intelligent, knowledgeable people who can act as brakes on his worst impulses and weathervane views.
If it took China's Xi to educate him on Korea (after hearing after dinner that Trump was bombing Syrians because the gassing pictures so disturbed him); if NATO makes sense only after he meets with the secretary general; if the border wall that still exists in his mind has no support from his own staff; if his actions in Afghanistan depend on "something his generals did," he badly needs minders to curb his methods and restrain his tendency to break promises without clear definition of why.
It's gotten to the point where nepotism in this White House is more acceptable, and security clearance less an issue, if Ivanka and Jared can at least hold him down.
We're stuck with this stupidity for nearly four years. Yes, it's early days, some diehards say, but a pattern of lies and self-congratulation has been set. Too slowly some people who believed his bloviating are looking twice. Others will never care what he says or what he does – their support for him was not consistency driven but a personality embrace.
Incompetence is not yet grounds for impeachment.
Even before Trump, China was not a "devaluation" currency manipulator as it was years ago under Obama, they've actually been propping up the yen to help their businesses. NATO was never phony -- the money gap Trump complained about loudly and Obama softy was never to replace what the US gives, though it sounded like that on the stump. Even his staff knows you can't build a wall in the middle of the Rio Grande – unless you want to hand the entire river over to Mexico.
Most of the jobs and plant expansion he's taking credit for were in the planning before he took office. The regulations he is eliminating seem to be freeing businesses to do more mischief and create more pollution instead of jobs – or they're a political way to help states defund Planned Parenthood despite its popularity in national polls. Wall Street has been positive but the skepticism in executive corridors is palpable and turning the Street even more yo-yolike than usual.
Many voted for Trump believing he would keep us out of war, rather than showing off that he can drop bigger bombs than Obama did and kill more innocent civilians by turning the military loose.
The US may not anymore be the world leader in environment and trade, but something has kept the rest of the world reasonably tolerable of Trump. It' s because one out of four of his cabinet picks are reasonably intelligent, led by Mattis at defense, Haley at the UN, Kelly at Homeland Security and even Chao is an experienced conservative at transportation.
Americans are pinning some gigantic hopes on them and National Security Adviser McMaster. Mainly they can keep him in check on foreign policy – blunders rather than disasters – and their example may bring saner echoes on domestic policy. These seemed doomed with the likes of Ben Carson at housing, Tom Price at health, Jeff Sessions at justice, Rick Perry at energy, Betsy DeVos at education and other weirdos such as Scott Pruitt at EPA.
Bigger handcuffs have to come from Congress insisting on its priority in declaring war and controlling the purse strings. But don't expect a Republican Congress -- which has longed to see any Republican, even this one, occupy the White House -- to protest too loudly, to interfere, to defend its constitutional rights.
What can be done by shaming and goading will, but the voters had better gear up for more.
Either Trump has to learn on the job, or be forced by circumstance to bend to reality. But it's unlikely to see him mature at age 70 or absorb the basics of the presidency.
Get used to seeing him revolve and seesaw, hugging Bannon one moment and rejecting the right-wing extremist when he gets too much publicity, moving center one moment and into a parallel universe right after.
Trump may, in private, be realizing he made some ridiculous promises on the stump but it's not in his nature to change course by openly admitting he was wrong. Instead he's claiming credit for high tide while the ship slides under the ocean.
How ironic for a complacent democracy – to realize it's only lasting salvation comes at the polls.

The Global Market for Self-Cleaning Coatings
By admin on	 April 7, 2019 NANOCOATINGS, REPORTS
Self-cleaning coatings are completely transparent and allow for surfaces that are clean, stain resistant and dry, mainly for application on on glass in buildings, solar panels and cars. They can also be used as a waterproof protection for wood, masonry and tarpaulin.
Clean or self-cleaning surfaces can be achieved by two principally different approaches. A photocatalytic coating can be applied to the surface, where the effect of the sun's ultraviolet rays catalytically breaks down organic dirt. At the same time the surface changes into a superhydrophilic at which time the water spreads evenly over the surface and less drying traces are formed by dripping.
Another way to manufacture a self-cleaning (bionic) surface in which the surface becomes a super-hydrophobic. Superhydrophobic coatings and films have a wide spectrum of applications; they are used not only for resisting water and fog condensation, but also for preventing contamination.

When I was a kid, and by kid I mean twenty, one of my favorite meals was a frozen meatloaf or salisbury steak sharing an aluminum tray with mashed potatoes. Those were leaner times and these little meals were about a buck each. And yummy. While I would be hard pressed to pick up a similar frozen meal today, I still love salisbury steak.
I came up with this recipe one evening when I found myself missing the can of condensed soup the salisbury steak recipe I had used for years called for. Initially I began looking for something else to cook when I said to myself, "Seriously, you can't come up with a substitute? Not only a substitute, but something better?" Anyone else talk to themselves in their pantry? This little pep talk was just what I needed. I made salisbury steak that evening and it was leagues better than the recipe I had been using.
After tweaking this each time I make it, I think I've got it down. The steaks get injected with all kinds of flavor including Worcestershire sauce, steak seasoning, and one of my favorite ingredients, umami paste. Onions are cooked for a few minutes and then become a bed for the steaks. This allows the onions to absorb beefy flavor before everything is covered in a ketchup based mixture. Toss a lid over the skillet, stir every few minutes. Place a steak over a puddle of mashed potatoes and generously ladle the lovely gravy all over.
Homey, simple, and delicious. Every time I make this I am reminded of my younger days and the many frozen meals I consumed. Nice memories, but this is so much better.
In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, 1/3 cup beef stock, bread crumbs, egg, salt, pepper, tomato paste, 1 teaspoon of umami paste, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, and steak seasoning until combined. Shape mixture into 4 patties. Set aside.
Mix remaining broth, 1 teaspoon umami paste, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, flour, and ketchup in medium bowl until combined. Set aside.
Melt butter and olive oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Add onions, and cook for 3-4 minutes, until onions have started to soften. Place steak patties over onions and brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Pour off excess fat if needed.
Pour gravy mixture over meat. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until meat is cooked through. Stir frequently.
That looks delish! Love salisbury steak, can't wait to try this!
This looks like a good hearty and comforting recipe. I'm intrigued with the umami paste, I've never tried it, but it sounds like a versatile ingredient.
I have to admit that I wasn't a huge Salisbury Steak fan, but you have changed my mind with this! :) Looks great!

SpinRite v6.0 may stop responding to USB keyboard input on some systems.
My experience is that the USB keyboard input stops working properly after SpinRite has been running for a while. This is more than enough time to select the drives or partitions and the operation level.
Some have said that plugging the USB keyboard in the port under the Ethernet port works. That has not been my experience.
Issue: SpinRite v6.0 crashes on drives/partitions that are over 500GB. I've had no luck with any drives 1TB or larger, on at least a dozen different PC's. All were updated with the latest BIOS available at the time. As suggested by SpinRite support I tried different settings in the BIOS, AHCI vs Legacy, etc., with no success. For now SpinRite v6.0 is useless to me because most of my drives are 1TB or larger. Hopefully SpinRite v6.1, which is seriously delayed, will resolve this failure.

Black Canyon Anglers is a fly shop, guide service, and lodge. We specialize in one, two, and three day float fishing trips down the Gunnison Gorge section of the Black Canyon. 2014 is our 30th season in business. The Gunnison River is most well known for its large 20' plus Rainbow Trout and the highest number of brown trout per acre foot of water in the state. The Colorado Department of Wildlife routinely conducts fish surveys on the Gunnison River, the last survey showed over 10,500 fish per mile give or take 1100 depending on the mile. BCA is the largest and most experienced outfitter in the Black Canyon and offers the only fishing lodge on the Gunnison River. Our Black Canyon of the Gunnison fishing trips start and stop at our lodge which is located 30 minutes from the Montrose airport (MTJ) on the western slope of Colorado. Most of our clients stay with us the night before the trip to fish our private water, have a great meal, stay in our cabins, and enjoy the property. Our clients are each given a waterproof dry bag backpack which they will use to pack their personal gear. They will hike this gear down the trail the morning of the trip unless otherwise arranged. We also offer rentals; anything you might need for the trip is available. The next morning we will wake you up at 5:30, at 6:00 you will meet your guides and have breakfast. We try to leave the lodge by 6:30. Everyone will load into a 15 passenger van, we will then drive 30 minutes on a paved road and 45 minutes on a rough 4x4 road to the hiking trail. The hiking trail is a moderate 1.1 miles long, all downhill to the water where you will find the boats and coolers. The night before the trip we drive down the same trail to meet the horses and mules that walk in 8 miles each day, we load them up with gear, and they spend the rest of the day packing this gear to the water. Two days before the trip all the gear is loaded into a van and the fresh produce for the trip is bought and stored at our facility. Once we reach the water the guides will rig the boats and load your personal gear. We then spend the next one, two, or three days covering 14 miles of the Gunnison River. We will only fish from the boat on a one day trip. On a two or three day trip we will spend more time out of the boat than in the boat and you will make a riverside camp each night. At the end of the trip we back the van to the water, load the gear, and drive 10 minutes back to the lodge where most of our guests will take showers, have dinner, and stay in our cabins. Our Black Canyon of the Gunnison guides are not your average guides. It takes a special person to row you down the river safely, cook breakfast, lunch, and dinners, set up a different base camp each night, and retain the geology, wildlife, plant, and fishing knowledge required of this trip. We have high standards set for our staff and they work very hard to create the best trip they possibly can. Black Canyon of the Gunnison Fly Fishing Lodge The lower Gunnison River wraps around the property and allows for private water fishing access. You can also enjoy our two stocked trout ponds. We have petroglyphs (Native American drawings etched in rock) on the property as well, dated back 4000 years, just a short walk from the cabins. The cabin cost is $200 per person per night. This includes a continental breakfast the next morning and access to our private water (large section of river and 2 stocked ponds). Our dinners include happy hour, appetizers, salad, main entrance, and dessert with beer and wine served.

Lauryn Hill & Nas
Lauryn Hill and Nas are joining forces and coming to the Klipsch Amphitheater at Bayfront Park for an unforgettable show on Friday September 22nd and bringing Hannibal Buress and Chronixx with them as support!
Nas and Lauryn Hill famously collaborated on the hit "If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)" in 1996. They also embarked on a similar tour together in 2012, playing 10 dates after Nas released his Life Is Good album. "This is history," the rapper said about the joint tour in a statement at the time. "Better late than never. Life is good!"
Nas has not released a new album since that year. But he's been prolific in the last 15 years compared to Hill, who has not put out an LP since her MTV Unplugged recording in 2002. Most recently, Nas contributed raps to Baz Luhrmann's just-cancelled Netflix series The Get Down.
Since the announcement demand for tickets has gone through the roof as the last time this happened was 7 years ago. Make sure to buy your tickets for Lauryn Hill and Nas at the Klipsch Amphitheater at Bayfront Park now before they all sell out!
