I attended the meeting addressed by Mr Barry Coates of Oxfam on April 23. I consider that many points made by him were incorrect. I will comment on two.
He claimed the IPCC reports are robust, peer-reviewed documents. A report has just been released by “Citizens Audit Project” that has checked every paper quoted in the 44 chapters of the IPCC’s fourth report. One chapter has only 15 percent of its papers peer reviewed. Twelve have less than 50 percent of their papers peer reviewed. Another 18 chapters have less than 75 percent of the papers peer reviewed.
Mr Coates claimed the science is settled. Our planet’s climate is very complex, and even the IPCC admits that there are still many unknowns, making this an outrageous claim. But we hear it all too often. Let me list three recent items that detract from the theory that the globe is warming dangerously.
1. Many scientists, including Phil Jones, a lead author of the IPCC and part of the “Climategate” scandal at East Anglia University, now concede there has been no significant warming since 1995. Mr Coates is wrong when he asserts that the world is warming even faster than the IPCC originally predicted.

There are people out there who believe that just talking about the fact that infringing content is out there is infringing itself, but that seems like a plainly ridiculous standard for judging infringing content. Yet, we see cases like this all the time. Recently, there was Twitter taking down a tweet for merely linking to a blog post that talked about a leaked album (but which didn’t link to the leak), and now TorrentFreak points out that the site RLSLOG has been totally taken offline (again) after Universal Music sent a takedown request. The only problem? RLSLOG doesn’t actually host any content or infringe on any copyrights. It’s a news site that talks about infringing content that’s available, but is that infringing itself? It’s difficult to see how anyone would properly judge that to be the case, but it didn’t stop the site’s host from taking them offline thanks to Universal Music’s legal threats.

“Shorting US Treasuries is a slam-dunk trade if ever there was one,” our friend Paul Van Eeden wrote not long ago. I agree.
Treasury yields have been going down along the entire yield curve since 1983. This trend reached a crescendo during the crisis of 2008, when 10-year Treasury yields plunged to 2% and 90-day T-bills paid negative yields.
For a few moments in the heat of the credit crisis, some investors were so scared of losing money in any other asset; they took a guaranteed loss just to keep their money “safe.” Better to lose 0.1% on a short- term bond, the theory went, than risk losing 50% on GE, Citigroup, GM or Bank of America.
The US government recognized this insatiable thirst for the “security” of American bonds. And it abused this opportunity to the fullest extent – setting record budget deficits in 2008, 2009, 2010 and likely beyond. Mainstream economists like Paul Krugman, James Galbraith and Dean Baker applaud these deficits as a necessary remedy for economic malaise. They maintain that when consumers can no longer consume and corporations are locked out of the credit markets, the government is the only actor in the economy that can save us all from financial Armageddon.
Further, they argue that inflation is the devil we know whereas deflation is the devil we don’t want to know. They argue the government is not spending enough money right now, and that those who encourage fiscal restraint and austerity during an economic downturn are only asking for more trouble, more pain.
Further, they say, it is the government’s responsibility to coax inflation back into the system, which would in turn spur growth in GDP. Then when the economy gets “back on track,” we can deal with the deficits and begin addressing the national debt.
Trouble is, since the 1980s, we’ve never, but for a few short years in the late 1990s, gotten to the second half of that Keynesian equation. As one reader insightfully observed:
“Keynesian economics really does (or did) have a legitimate function in a capitalist economy wracked by business cycles. Any honest, solvent government can use Keynesian strategies to good ends when a cycle tanks.
“The problem, which you guys so rightly observe is that our government is far from solvent; it uses what are called ‘Keynesian’ strategies to mask what Marx would have called ‘internal contradictions’ – and it’s not being honest with itself or its citizens, either. What we see now is not Keynesian – it’s simply consequences of overreach by an empire in decline. It’s not Keynesian at all, just chronic overspending.”
Following what we feel is a deeply flawed economic strategy, the Obama administration issued over $2 trillion in government bonds – a record, by a long shot.
Mostly with the help of Asian governments, the Treasury managed to sell them all. But many thanks go to the Federal Reserve itself. Through its program of quantitative easing, the Fed bought billions upon billions of Treasury paper to suppress American mortgage rates and ease the pain of the housing bust.
This, to put it bluntly, cannot last. The Fed ended quantitative easing on March 30. Mortgage rates have already reached an eight-month high since then.
But the real threat to the plan to keep rates low may come from outside the Fed’s purview. On January 25, 2010, the Obama administration announced a $6.4 billion arms deal with Taiwan. Two weeks later, the Treasury auctioned $16 billion in 30-year Treasury bonds. The Chinese failed to show up in customary fashion. Yields ticked up from 4.68% to 4.72% by the end of the auction.
The fear that the Chinese would simply slow their consumption of US debt was all that was needed to drive up rates in the US.
The worst inflations in history took place when savers and investors lost confidence in the integrity of the currency, while governments handed out purchasing power to entities that did not earn this purchasing power through past production.
By promising to suppress dollar-based interest rates well into the future, the Fed is giving investors little reason for faith in the dollar. Except for the inherent weakness of the euro, the dollar would already have “exited stage left.”
The American government cannot continue financing bailouts and future growth with borrowed money. The national debt stands at 90% of annual GDP, the highest since World War II. In the face of looming entitlement disasters like Medicare and Social Security, our debts might grow even larger… but our creditors will assuredly not grow any kinder.
“We are very concerned about the lack of stability in the US dollar,” Chinese Premier Wen Jaibao said last month. He oversees the biggest cache of US government debt in the world – roughly $889 billion in US Treasuries. As China’s worries grow – along with the rest of the world’s – creditors will demand higher rates of return. Bond yields will go up, prices will go down.
What’s more, China and many other foreign creditors have historically bought Treasuries in order to suppress the value of their currencies. Now that so many emerging markets have “emerged,” currency suppression isn’t providing the boost that it used to. If inflation becomes a problem in emerging markets, currency suppression will cease to become an objective. This would also remove a major source of demand for Treasuries.
When will it happen? How bad will it get? We don’t know. But our money says it’ll happen in the next 10 years. Holders of US debt will wish they were holding something – anything – else. Anything but the promise of a fixed stream of steadily debased US dollars. Investors will wish they sold US bonds short when they had the chance.
So how do you short US bonds without going to the trouble of borrowing them? Fortunately, there’s an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that lets you do just that.
The ProShares Short 20+ Year Treasury ETF (NYSE:TBF) returns the daily inverse of TLT, the Barclays 20+ Year US Treasury Index. The focus is on long-dated bonds – the securities that Treasury will have the most trouble floating if global confidence in US debt wanes.
In the last half of March, Treasury had a series of lousy auctions. TBF responded just as you’d want it to – rising 2% in just a couple of weeks. This is just the beginning.
All of that probably makes intuitive sense to you. After all, we’re betting against an investment class that’s gone nowhere but up over the last generation. So don’t be surprised if this asset goes nowhere but down during this generation.

It was previously believed that Nissan would potentially be selling the upcoming Leaf electric vehicle at a loss, but now the automaker has confirmed that it will be able to turn a profit on each sale. Nissan expects as many as 25,000 firm orders by December.
Nissan told Reuters while attending an industry conference that it has recorded 8,000 U.S. reservations since opening orders nine days ago, and that it plans to make a profit on each one.
Strong demand for the Leaf
Nissan had previously stated that it expected at least 20,000 pre-orders before the car even hit showrooms in the U.S., and now it seems the automaker may be on pace to surpass that goal.
“We are on a double time march (for launch),” said Mark Perry, Nissan’s North America director of product planning and strategy, while speaking with Reuters. “We are on our way to have 25,000 firm orders by December.”
Nissan will first launch the Leaf in the select states of California, Arizona, Washington, Tennessee and Oregon.
Will the Leaf turn a profit?
Nissan says that the Leaf sales will be limited not by demand, but by supply for the first two years. The car maker says the shortage will be alleviated once the manufacturing plants are built in the U.S. to produce additional Leaf models.
Previously, analysts had suggested that Nissan may have gone too low with its price, even suggesting that the EV would be sold at a loss. Not so, says Nissan.
“We are making money at the price that we announced,” Perry said. “We priced the car to be affordable. We priced it for mass adoption.”
Nissan priced the Leaf at $32,780 – which does not include the available federal and state tax credits and incentives due to its environmentally friendly design.

A pilot making a crash landing at a small airport managed to clip the rear of a Toyota Prius – with two sight-seeing occupants inside – before continuing on to hit a utility pole, sheering off the wing and coming to a halt. Then, without hesitation, the pilot grabbed a large bag and fled the scene.
With the conclusion of the introduction to this story we have now apparently witnessed the advent of a new type of crime: the fly and run – according to the Prius driver that smoke with Daily Camera.
The pilot, flying a small single-engine plane, reportedly came into contact with the ground prior to reaching the runway. After making contact, the plane quickly changed directions and headed straight for a Prius that was parked watching the planes land and take off.
According to the Prius driver, Ken Marcoux, once he saw the plane was heading straight for him he had only an instant to smash his gas pedal and accelerate just enough to keep the plane from likely killing his wife in the front passenger seat. Because of the few feet Marcoux managed to cover, the wing tip ended up breaking the rear window and smashing the rear quarter panel on its way to continue to the field beyond.
The plane then smashed into a utility pole, removing one wing, and then came to a stop. It was at that time that the pilot quickly exited the plane, grabbed what was described as a large, black satchel and then quickly fled the scene by foot.
The pilot eventually – some four to five hours later – called the FAA to properly report the incident. The incident has sparked a debate over jurisdiction between federal and local authorities, and at this time no charges have been filed against the pilot as the investigation is on-going.

Super Street Fighter IV is hitting hard with the numbers. Capcom has released an official statement earlier today, stating that they have now shipped a million copies worldwide literally just three days since its launch.
We recently wrote about how India had proposed changes to its copyright law that included a few surprisingly good ideas (and a few really bad ones). However, some other countries have been changing their copyright laws as well. Earlier this year, a friend involved in these things told me to keep an eye out for Chile’s new copyright laws, suggesting that I would be pleasantly surprised. Michael Scott points us to a brief description of the recently approved changes to copyright law in Chile… and, like India, it looks like a mix of good and bad. And, contrary to what I had hoped for, the bad seems to outweigh the good. To be fair, the summary is very cursory, so perhaps there’s more to the changes than what’s written. But the report highlights three changes, and from the summary, it seems like one change is good, one is bad and one is probably neutral.
The changes that will soon go into effect can be divided into three groups: the establishment of a new framework of exceptions and limitations to copyright and related rights, the incorporation of new offences, increased penalties and the consecration of new tools intended to prosecute crimes against intellectual property, and an extensive chapter on the liability of Internet Service Providers (ISP).
The first one is obviously the “good.” More and better exceptions — a la fair use — is an unquestionably good thing. But, looking at the few details provided, it doesn’t look like broad fair use-style exceptions were added. Instead, the exceptions look pretty limited:
For example, extending the framework of action for libraries and nonprofit archives in terms of the reproduction, translation and digitization of a particular work allows for it to be used for criticism, illustration, teaching or research purposes and also expands the use of works that aim to benefit a person with visual or hearing impairment.
Those are good exceptions, but those a pretty small subset of the type of exceptions that any good copyright law should have.
The “bad” is the second one. Increasing penalties makes little sense when penalties for violating copyright law are already way out of line with the “harm” done. The “neutral” one is the last one, concerning liability for service providers. Creating good safe harbors for service providers, so they’re not blamed for the actions of their users, is definitely a good thing. But the devil is very much in the details — and what the requirements are for a service provider to qualify for those safe harbors. While the report says “the ISP must meet certain requirements in order to be exempted from liability,” it does not detail what those “certain requirements” are.

A recently published lengthy UK Government report suggests appointing a global body such as the UN to exclusively regulate world wide geoengineering of the planet in order to stave off man made global warming.
The House of Commons report, entitled The Regulation of Geoengineering, was compiled by the government’s Science and Technology Committee in collaboration with the U.S. House of Representatives Science and Technology Committee.
It demonstrates how seriously both governments are looking at the idea of manipulating the planet’s climate.
“…we may need geoengineering as a ‘Plan B’ if, in the event of the failure of ‘Plan A’—the reduction of greenhouse gases—we are faced with highly disruptive climate change.” the report states. “If we start work now it will provide the opportunity to explore fully the technological, environmental, political and regulatory issues.” it continues.

COPY EDITOR CYNTHIA L. OROSCO: This is a fine enough car–and maybe that’s a dis for a BMW–but I wasn’t really a fan of it after my overnight in the 335i. The exterior lines don’t seem as sharp or as sleek as those on other BMW coupes I’ve seen or driven. The color was not complementary, and the driver’s seatback does not move into a more upright position. Yes, I know lots of people like the lean, but not me.
But the I6 offers good power once you get up to speed. Off the line, turning a corner, etc., the car seems to take a few seconds before it selects a gear. Braking, though, is solid with good pedal feel. The interior materials are nice if pretty hard to the touch. The HVAC controls are easy to use; the radio controls are not. But I wouldn’t want to ride in the back seat; there’s not much legroom back there.
SENIOR EDITOR FOR NEWS BOB GRITZINGER: Little to quibble about here–the 3-series coupe is one of the best-driving cars on the market, and this example is no exception. Even without a nice manual tranny, the car was fun to run via the steering-wheel paddle shifters, which are placed just right for holding the wheel and shifting. The engine is smooth and strong, with nary a trace of turbo lag. Everything else is marvelous–brakes, steering, chassis control, the works.
Outside, the car looks stunning from virtually every angle. This is the best execution of current BMW styling on the road right now.
Not sure if I found a switch that Cindy didn’t, but I was able to adjust the seat into a quite upright position, so much so that it felt almost claustrophobic at times given my proximity to the roof and headliner. Every time I moved the sun visor, I had to take care not to whack myself in the head–I was that upright. I guess that’s my only complaint about this car: Too tight in the interior for a midsize car. If it’s going to be that cramped, why not opt down to the 1-series, save some cash, and have even more fun?
EXECUTIVE EDITOR ROGER HART: As Bob said, the 3-series is the benchmark on which all other sport sedans are measured. The chassis is rock solid and the suspension tuned for serious driving–throw the car hard into a turn and there’s little roll. Mash the brakes hard and you’ll notice little dive. I would certainly prefer a manual transmission in this car, but as automatics go, it’s fine.
Yes, the cabin is a bit small, but I had no problem finding a comfortable driving position. There’s more than enough legroom, but I sure wouldn’t want to be in the back seat.

A new and powerful limited edition Focus RS model, called the RS500, is being launched as the ultimate performance Ford and will provide the definitive driving experience for serious performance car enthusiasts.
Making its global debut at the 2010 Leipzig Motor Show in Germany on April 9, the new model has been given the RS500 designation to highlight its strictly-limited production run of 500 individually-numbered vehicles, all of which will be offered for customers to purchase.
The new Focus RS500 features a muscular 350 PS 2.5-litre 5-cylinder engine, which generates 15 per cent more power than the standard Focus RS and delivers truly exhilarating performance. To provide the RS500 with a fitting power unit, the 305 PS turbocharged Duratec RS
2.5-litre engine from the standard Focus RS has been upgraded to deliver significantly more top-end and mid-range power, but without compromising the base engine’s strength and responsiveness at lower revs.
Peak power is increased by 45PS to 350PS at 6,000rpm, while torque has been increased from 440 to 460Nm, delivered across a broad speed range from 2,500 to 4,500rpm.
Each RS500 will carry a metal plaque on the centre console, hand-engraved with a unique identification number from 001 to 500. Website: www.focusrs500.com
The website Changing Habbits [changinghabbits.co.uk] shows the environmental impact of a person by using humanoid forms with body parts distorted relative to the environmental impact of common activities.
Each part of the body is allocated to a different type of environmental burden: the feet correspond to the transport footprint, the hands to home energy, mouth to water, stomach to consumption, bottom to waste and the eyes and head to electrical consumer products. The overall CO2 footprint is conveyed to the human figure’s height. People can input their personal data to retrieve their personalized humanoid sustainability representative.

Eric Goldman alerts us to an interesting response by Method Products, a small natural cleaning supply products company, after receiving a cease & desist letter from cleaning giant Clorox (pdf), demanding that Method stop using a daisy in its packaging on certain cleaning products because of Clorox’s trademarks on “Green Works,” including the use of a yellow flower, related to Green Works products. In response, Method set up VoteDaisy.com, with a little poll asking people “who should own the daisy” with three options: Clorox, Mother Nature or Method. Nicely done.

GameTrailers is teasing the announcement of the newest Call of Duty title, Call of Duty: Vietnam. According to reports, it will be published by Activision (of course), but this time, will be developed by Treyarch Studio.
Hace un mes AMD dio a conocer una Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 que como su nombre lo indica trae 6 salidas displayport.
Al parecer la gente te PowerColor esta por romper ese récord y van a lanzar en el Computex de junio una Radeon HD 5970 con 12 salidas mini displayport para de esta manera con una única gráfica manejar una pared de 12 monitores.
Ademas de eso, esta tarjeta como cualquier otra Radeon HD 5970, traerá a bordo dos chipsets gráficos (frecuencia de la cual no se ha revelado nada) y 4 GB de memoria GDDR5. También se especula que tendrá un gran sistema de refrigeración lo que hará que la tarjeta ocupe un total de 3 ranuras, dos para la placa y una tercera para la salida del aire.
Oh okay, well its getting a little much but here is another theme that’s portrayed after the new Metro UI. This theme is one of many that tries to grab the new WP7 look and feel, while keeping the current 
functionalities of WP6.5. This one is actually the most customized theme, and is something that people might find interesting.
This is actually pretty cool thought. It comes with many clocks, Metro slider, and Metro Bookmark/Web tab. The Web tab is my favorite, because as you can see in the left, it comes with those blue boxes we will have to get used to in our next UI.
The theme does not stop at the Sense version. It adds Metro ThumbCal themes, and even Metro a Metro theme for Slide2Shutdown.
This theme pretty much covers everything, only thing that’s left is the Menus should be changed to black and blue, and the boxes will be shown on selected apps(if you are reading this Cendaryn, you know what to do next.)
If you are not yet tired of all the WP7 themes and wallpaper, you can add this one more.
Try this new theme, and comment on how you like it below.
It’s been argued that Hurricane Katrina was one of George W. Bush’s biggest organizational failures, for the tragedy was allowed to fester on for way too long before his much-vaunted homeland security apparatus sprang into action.
Will the oil spill in the gulf — which some suspect could be worse than Exxon Valdez — be the equivalent for Barack Obama?
Today the story got elevated to national emergency level, but the explosion on the rig happened eight days ago!
Will numerous investigations will no doubt be launched into the companies behind the rig (BP, Transocean), will anyone ask what the DHS and The White House have been doing for 8 days, while an ecological disaster was unfolding in such a sensitive region?
We’re guessing that unlike Bush, Obama will largely get a pass. Katrina played into a narrative of Bush ignoring the plight of the poor and African-Americans. Nobody is suggesting that Obama is bad on the environment. Also, just generally, an ecological disaster won’t elicit the same kind of emotional response as a human tragedy (for good reason).
Let’s at least acknowledge the obvious opposite, that if we were currently in a Republican administration that had just okayed offshore drilling in America, and they had gone eight days without serious action, they’d be getting absolutely pilloried in the press.
The fact that the oil slick is lapping up against the Gulf Coast now and over the next several hours is just a cruel, but meaningless, Katrina-related coincidence.

high protein diet
It is an proven fact that a high protein diet is essential for muscle mass and growth. Muscular tissue like all other type of body flesh are made up of proteins. Proteins form the common building block for any kind of muscle progression to take place. By way of the pituitary gland and hypothalamus decrease proteins from high protein quality diets are also beneficial pertaining to the generation of all forms of tissues as though hair, nails, bones, muscular tissue, hormones, digestive support enzymes, antibodies together with countless others. In support of any form of growth to occur, proteins are unquestionably needed. Most typically associated with distinct benefit for musclemen is the concept that 60-70% of all proteins are located in muscular tissue. Provided with this fact, it is not surprising that there is a lot of nonsense between bodybuilders on high protein diets for muscle building. Let us all make an effort and get a much better understanding of the correct way high protein diet programs improve muscle building.
Proteins are made up of minor items referred to as amino acids. These are truly the smallest building blocks for the body that will making use of to build muscular tissue in a high protein diet. There are generally about twenty types of amino acids, and each and every one of these might be combined in all sorts of permutations down into proteins for lean muscle building. Of these 20, there are 2 types of amino acids – non-required and key amino acids. The non-essential variant will probably be provided by the body when ever needed. Whereas the latter sort of amino acids need to be ingested via a high protein diet. Of special point of interest to serious weightlifters are the required amino acids given that these find it hard to be manufactured by the body. They are nevertheless key for lean muscle building. That is the key reason why it is not uncommon to see musclemen scrutinizing their foodstuff and vitamin supplements to ensure that essential amino acids are found in what these people eat in a high protein food plan.
When it comes to planning their high protein diet programs, serious weightlifters often look for different sources of proteins in their foods. Very first on the list are full-scale proteins. These are basically a well-balanced mixture of key and non-required proteins you can find in the meal kinds of a high protein food plan. Good examples of complete protein sources normally include, lean beef, seafoods, egg whites, fish, protein powder and milk. The second type of proteins is the incomplete protein source which can be received in most whole grains, legumes and pinto and black beans. Truth be told , there are specified amino acids lacking in this category, despite the fact that they are yet needed in any high protein diet as some amino acids from this incomplete source are not received in other places. Then finally, there is veggie protein source. The protein from this particular source is received in fruit and vegetables and plant stuff only. To many serious weightlifters, looking for the source of their protein is very crucial to be sure that their tough training program will harvest maximal lean muscle growth. Sometimes, musclemen ingest so a large amount of protein into their program through their high protein food plan, that it may turn out to be counterproductive in their quest for lean muscle growth.
So does, a high protein food plan truly turns to solid lean muscle growth? Presently there are 2 schools of standard arguments for those of you who need it. On the one hand, conservative dietitians and health-related community has lengthy contended that the body merely requires its Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of protein, which is approximately 0.8 grams per kilogram of weight. Anything in surplus will be thrown away. On the other part, ‘protein pushers’ with their approved high protein diet recommends taking 400-500 grams of proteins in a single day. This is way in excess of the RDA. Cutting-edge study has proven that, enhanced training routines have leaded to an greater utilization of proteins within the body. For this reason, additional proteins from the high protein food plan is definitely needed to activate maximal lean muscle growth. In other words, for any demanding training bodybuilder, the additional protein stipulated in a high protein diet is practical. However, it might be wise to not over use proteins, as there are unwanted effects and damaging results to muscle growth. It is necessary to reach a sense of balance between spending in more proteins in a high protein food plan to stimulate development, and at the same time, make sure that only the demanded quantity is eaten to prevent unintended side effects from happening.
Workout to get muscle growth is a difficult practice concerning amino acid permutations and usage. This has to be done in a way whereby it is correctly joined together with a high protein diet plan to stimulate maximal development for the athlete.

Has anyone done the “low carb-high protein diet” and did it work for weight loss?
I just had a baby 6 weeks ago and gained 62 lbs. with the pregnancy. So far I’ve lost 34 and still have 28 to go!
I’m trying the high protein-low carb diet …. but eating healthy protein (chicken, fish, turkey, etc.)
has this diet worked for anyone??? did you lose weight? and how long did it take???
and how many carbs did you eat per day???
Thanks!
Yeah it works…it’s not really good for you at all, but it will burn fat quickly. It’s not designed for long term weight loss, though…while most low-carb dieters lose more weight in a few weeks than people who eat a healthy, balanced diet and exercise, after about a year low-carb dieters and balanced-diet exercisers all lose about the same amount. Plus, it’s hard to keep the weight off unless you reincorporate carbs very very gradually. Keep in mind, though, a low carb diet will probably make you grumpy, as carbohydrates can be linked to serotonin levels in the brain. High protein diets usually also involve high levels of fat, and are bad for your liver and kidneys because they have to work harder to process all the extra fat and protein. So be very careful with these diets, and don’t try them for long periods of time. I would say 6 weeks, most. Check out the South Beach diet, it seems more realistic than the Atkins.
