The ‘hockey stick’ that became emblematic of the threat posed by climate change exaggerated the rise in temperature because it was created using ‘inappropriate’ methods, according to the head of the Royal Statistical Society.
Professor David Hand said that the research – led by US scientist Michael Mann – would have shown less dramatic results if more reliable techniques had been used to analyse the data.
Prof Hand was among a group of experts charged with investigating the “climategate” email scandal that engulfed the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU) last year.
Sceptics claimed that the hacked messages showed scientists were manipulating data to support a theory of man-made global warming.
However the review, led by Lord Oxburgh into the research carried out by the centre, found no evidence of ”deliberate scientific malpractice”.
Lord Oxburgh said the scientists at the research unit arrived at their conclusions ”honestly and sensibly”.
Her lobbying of companies to make products healthier, labels easier to read and limit marketing of unhealthy foods to kids is paying off. A month after she began her campaign, PepsiCo Inc., the world’s second-largest food and beverage company, pledged to stop selling full-sugar soft drinks in schools by 2012. Kraft Foods Inc., the maker of Oreo cookies and Oscar Mayer lunch meats, announced it would further reduce the sodium content of its products.
Brower goes on to say,
The companies’ announcements followed a meeting in Washington on March 16 during which Obama told members of the Grocery Manufacturers Association, including Purchase, New York- based PepsiCo and Northfield, Illinois-based Kraft, “to move faster and to go farther” to make their products healthier.
These fortune 500 companies are listening. Read their repsonse,
The first lady has “accelerated our focus,” Kraft’s president of health and wellness, Rhonda Jordan, said in an interview.
“We’ve long advocated for schools to be made as conducive as possible to promoting the health of students,” Michelle Naughton, a PepsiCo spokeswoman, said in a statement.
The message in Michelle Obama’s campaign to eradicate childhood obesity is being heard loud and clear. It is an apparent indication that change is still alive and well. Our kids are going to be more healthy whether they like or not. Posted by Bridgette.

One of SocGen’s in-house uber-bears Dylan Grice (Albert Edwards is the other one), has a warning for countries around the world.
If it can happen in Greece, it can happen anywhere.
FT Alphaville has the report, which essentially boils down to the fact that a country’s rate of interest payments must equal its nominal growth rate :
If it does, the incremental government revenue generated by the economic growth will pay for the coupons on the debt. If it doesn’t, a shortfall develops between incremental revenues and incremental coupon payments and in the absence of further austerity, more debt is required to finance the deficit.
He warns:
But it’s not just about getting this year out of the way. If it can happen in Greece, it can happen everywhere else too, because Greece just isn’t that different. OK, so it misrepresented the size of its liabilities but so too do most other governments; its real fiscal problems are hidden off-balance sheet in the enormous welfare obligations it can’t afford to pay and so are most other governments; its debt maturity isn’t notably different from the rest of the OECD’s (at about eight years it’s actually longer than those of the US and of Japan); and its projected budget deficit is lower than those projected in the UK and the US (third chart inside).
Plant-based plastic has been finding more and more places in the marketplace, as cups, bottles and plates.
But while PLA, or Polylactic acid plastic, meets the environmental test at the front end, being made of eco-friendly and biodegradable ingredients, it has faced an end-of-life issue: It can’t be recycled with the bulk of petroleum-based plastics in the waste stream, the PETE and HDPE plastics that major recyclers collect and sell.
The PLA industry has been trying to solve that issue. It has looked at technology that would help recyclers separate PLA plastic from conventional plastics at processing plants.
Another solution is to recycle PLA plastic, melt it down, at its own special facilities. It’s already being done on a major scale in Europe. This week the industry announced that a newly formed U.S. PLA recycling company, Plarco Inc., will become a major collector of post-consumer PLA waste, helping to close the recycling loop for PLA.
Plarco, based in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, will be recycling PLA plastic by melting it back into lactic acid, which can then be used as a building block for virgin PLA plastic, the most widely used type of biodegradable plastic among the new generation of polymers made from plants instead of petroleum.
The new cradle-to-grave or as bioplastic industry like to call it ‘cradle-to-cradle’ supply chain (because new product can be built from waste) will look like this: Plarco will be contracting with BioCor, which purchases and resells scrap PLA, to be BioCor’s exclusive recycler of post-consumer PLA. Plarco will sell the recycled product to Minnesota-based NatureWorks, the world’s leading producer of PLA (marketed as Ingeo).
After the lactic acid is reclaimed by Plarco, NatureWorks will ship it to a Nebraska facility where it can be turned into the Ingeo biopolymer.
“Plarco’s recycling process will help to create true cradle-to-cradle reuse of post consumer and post industrial PLA,” said Plarco CEO Charles L. (Chuck) Terry, in a statement. “Our contractual relationships with both BioCor and NatureWorks and the trend toward greater use of biopolymers bode well for Plarco’s sustained business growth.”
Plarco is already able to convert certain types of PLA waste into lactic acid suitable for production of virgin PLA resin, and will soon it will accept all types of PLA waste at its Eau Claire facility.
Belgium-based Galactic, a world scale producer of lactic acid, and EnviroGreen are stockholders in the new venture.
Sony has opened the doors to its much anticipated exhibition “Contemplating Monolithic Design” at Milano Salone del Mobile, presenting the latest in Sony’s creativity. Exclusively for this exhibition, Sony designers have worked with Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby to explore, through conceptual archetypes, the extension and integration of electronics, with furniture and architectural design. Visitors are offered a glimpse of how pushing the boundaries of technology and design could shape the living room of the future.
The seed for this exhibition was Sony’s new design concept, Monolithic Design. The concept of this new design, seeking only what is essential, leads us to consider the sense of presence that products bring to a space. This ideal has the potential to change the face of future home entertainment in the context of interior design. The exhibition at Milano Salone del Mobile intentionally pushes the boundaries of the core concept of Monolithic Design and serves to elevate this design language to the next level. The result is an experimental vision symbolising a deeper integration of product within contemporary lifestyles.
Kaz Ichikawa, project leader, Sony Creative Center commented, “For this exhibition we wanted to present a vision of what can be achieved through consumer electronics design and an integration with furniture and home architecture. The exhibition offers visitors the chance to experience a journey through the pursuit in finding the definitive balance between making a statement yet working in harmony with surroundings. We have presented this in five areas, each are experimental works in progress that illustrate varying scenario’s representing Sony’s vision of how products can integrate with contemporary interiors. It is extremely exciting for Sony to be displaying such forward-thinking and thought-provoking conceptual ideas on such an international scale.”
Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby said of the exhibition, “Our thinking was to create abstract objects for the everyday living environment, to show suggestions of how the Sony technologies might appear in our lives. We found it most interesting to explore abstracted, pure forms, each one representing a different area of the living space. We have used simple raw materials, since these seemed a strong partner for the great complexity of the microtechnology that they were paired with. In forming and resolving our ideas we came to four new archetypes that to us represented all the possibilities of the new Sony technologies in the home.”
The setting for this experiential revelation is an anechoic chamber; filled with sound absorbing cones to create a noiseless space. Anechoic spaces allow for a keen sense of hearing, our vision becomes sharper, leading us to tune in to the reality of the things around us. We invite the visitors to focus their senses on the new realm unfolding around them, conveyed in the five areas of archetypes.
Area 1: Icon (The essence of Monolithic Design)
In this space Sony presents an installation representing the essence of Monolithic Design at its purest and its most symbolic level. The object is set, in a monumental style, into a slab of slate, representing the dynamic, elegant presence of a form, which stands quiet and calm, yet penetrates the earth and air of its entire environment.
Area 2: Insight (Sound and light in a single object)
Visitors in area two will experience a demonstration of how sound and light may integrate and coexist in interior spaces. Owing to the development of Sony’s unique speaker drive system, vertical drive-technology and proprietary digital signal processing technology, speakers can be now integrated to LED lighting to maintain the personalized decor. Here the archetypes apply materials such as cultured marble, wood and organic glass that fits comfortably within multiple home environments.
The harmony of the glow radiating from the light with the sound emanating from the omni-directional speaker producing 360° acoustic field embodies a new archetype.
Area 3: Intimate (Personal visual sound field)
An exercise in the essential. Pairing a television with near-field speakers yields a private sphere of entertainment that offers a soundstage with impressive presence. In this personal space, we can immerse ourselves in audio and video content without disturbing others or being distracted. Within the space stand a stool, television and stand, and near-field speaker and stand, creating a new personal experience.
Area 4: Integrate (Visual sound furniture)
Area four offers a variant on Monolithic Design expression, with an intelligent connection to furniture and interior space. The mechanical aspect of television or audio systems is neatly incorporated in this archetype to express a new face in furniture. Here, the archetype creates audio without imposition of a mass of imposing technology. The material was made by stererolithography, a 3D printing process providing a pattern and unique structure which have been uniquely designed to achieve acoustic transparency.
Area 5: Install (Architectural furniture integrated with sound lights)
This area connects all elements of light, space and sound. Experimental products and furniture populate this experiential space of an abstracted living room. The essential pieces of a speaker, lights and television do not dominate any space, yet their powerful simplicity is immediately apparent.
In the quest for Monolithic Design, Sony limited the focus to essential elements, however, as the diverse examples on display show – from lighting to furniture to architecture and living space – the potential to inspire pieces that blend seamlessly into many settings is unlimited.
‘Contemplating Monolithic Design’ by Sony is open for public viewing from 14th to 19th April in the impressive space of Officine Stendhal at Via Stendhal 35 in Milano, Italy.
[Professor Brian Cheffins is the S.J. Berwin Professor of Corporate Law at the University of Cambridge Faculty of Law]
As Prof. Bruner points out in his insightful Article, in the literature on comparative corporate governance, there is a tendency to treat the United States and the United Kingdom as being very similar across key dimensions.He shows convincingly that in fact there are key differences between corporate governance in the two countries, focusing in particular on greater “shareholder-centrism” in British public companies in comparison to their U.S. counterparts.He then seeks to account for the discrepancy in terms of political economy, arguing that shareholders loom larger in the corporate law context in the United Kingdom than they do in the United States because in Britain other constituencies affiliated with corporations (“stakeholders”) have greater extra-corporate protection.
Prof. Bruner’s Article makes a series of valuable and intriguing points.However, from a comparative perspective, one is nevertheless left with a nagging question: Is the United Kingdom really markedly more shareholder-friendly than the United States?There in fact is reason to doubt this is the case.
It no doubt is true that U.K. shareholders have greater shareholder governance rights—powers enjoyed by shareholders over key decisions in the firm.However, as I have pointed out in an Article co-written with John Armour, Bernard Black and Richard Nolan (Private Enforcement of Corporate Law: An Empirical Comparison of the UK and US, 6 Journal of Empirical Legal Studies, 687 (2009)), civil procedure rules and substantive corporate law are considerably more “plaintiff friendly” in the United States than the United Kingdom.The greater ability of U.S. shareholders to sue to protect their rights arguably largely compensates for inferior protection along other dimensions.
Prof. Bruner briefly acknowledges in his paper that the greater capacity of shareholders to sue in the United States may narrow the gap in shareholder orientation between Britain and the U.S. (at p. 609).The Article I have written with Armour, Black and Nolan provides empirical data that indicates the point merits greater attention.For instance, while it is reasonably common for directors of U.S. public companies to be sued for damages under corporate law, we found, based on a search of cases filed in the United Kingdom, only one instance in three years where a case was filed against directors of a publicly traded company under corporate law claiming damages.Moreover, while our U.S. search uncovered 355 cases over a seven year period launched in state or federal courts against directors of a publicly traded company involving a claim for damages for breach of duty that resulted in a published opinion, one has to go back to the early 1980s to find a reported U.K. case where a director of a public company was a defendant in a derivative suit.
As Prof. Bruner points out (at p. 609), the extent to which litigation has deterrent value in the corporate context is unknown.Nevertheless, with the private enforcement gap between the United Kingdom and the United States being as large as we have found, the extent to which the United Kingdom is more “shareholder friendly” than the United States remains at best unclear.
There is now a desperate effort afoot by assorted climate alarmists to explain away the revelations of the incriminating e-mails leaked last year from the University of East Anglia (UEA). A concerted whitewash campaign is in full swing to save the IPCC and its questionable conclusion that the warming of the last thirty years is anthropogenic. But ongoing investigations so far have avoided the real issue, namely whether the reported warming is genuine or a manufactured result by scientists in England and the United States who manipulated temperature data.
Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) has repeatedly characterized anthropogenic global warming (AGW) as a “hoax” — and he may soon be vindicated. Certainly, the remedies invoked to “fight” AGW are a cruel hoax — mainly a tax burden on low-income households who will pay more for electricity, food, transportation, and other necessities of life.
The UEA’s “internal” investigation has largely absolved Dr. Philip Jones, the head of its Climate Research Unit (CRU) and author of most of the e-mails, of any misdeeds. (The UEA has also commissioned an “independent” investigation by Sir Robert Muir-Russell, due in August.) Pennsylvania State University (PSU) has merely slapped the wrists of Dr. Michael Mann for various ethical offenses but sees nothing wrong with the science. The United Nations, at the urging of the Royal Society and U.S. National Academy of Sciences, has launched a supposedly independent investigation of IPCC procedures to be conducted by the InterAcademyCouncil (IAC), a creature of the science academies. It is likely to backfire and lower further the public’s opinion of the academies — and indeed of science generally.

On Wednesday our horse racing play will come from the 7th race at Santa Anita. It is a 1-mile turf event for three year olds running in Allowance company for $32,000 purse. With our free pick we will play on #2 Precious Duke to win. The 7th race is scheduled for a 7:07PM Eastern Time post and you can watch it on TVG.
Precious Duke will be ridden by Felipe Valdez and trained by Vladmir Cerin. This three-year-old gelding is coming off a nice win at 7 furlongs on the synthetic surface against an Allowance field on March 20th. Precious Duke has 2 wins in his past three games with Valdez aboard each time. Like the switch from the synthetic to turf and believe the extra distance will be no problem against this field. Cerin is having a good meeting with 19 wins in 82 mounts.
Play #2 Precious Duke to win race 7 at Santa Anita 5-1 on the Morning Line.
BREAKING! It’s another up day. The market is on cruise control.
So now the only question is, really: when do we hit pre-Lehman levels? Raymond James’ Jeff Saut has been calling for it for a long time, and every day he sounds less and less crazy.
The market closed at 1251.70 on September 12, 2008, the last trading day before Lehman’s bankruptcy. The Dow’s pre-Lehman close was 11,421.

American Honda Motor Co has announced a recall of approximately 1,850 2010 Acura ZDX units to inspect the inside of the dashboard surface material. According to Honda, on affected vehicles, the passenger side airbag of the 2010 ZDX crossover will not deploy properly.
“While no incidents have been reported, a manufacturing quality check revealed that some vehicles do not have the necessary laser-cut scoring on the underside of the dashboard surface material,” Honda said in a statement.”Without proper scoring, the passenger side frontal airbag will not deploy properly. After dealer inspection, if a ZDX is determined to have a dashboard without the proper scoring, the dashboard will be replaced.”
Owners of the affected ZDX models will be informed by mail later this month. They can also visit http://owners.acura.com/recalls or call (800) 382-2238 for more information.
Thin, thick, smoky, salty, hearty, meaty, maple, chewy or crispy. Different strokes, as they say. Nonetheless, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone – especially a Primal type – who doesn’t sing bacon’s praises. (Too bad so many CW followers eschew this fine delicacy.) Nonetheless, I wanted to address some questions dangling out there in the MDA comments and forum. Is bacon an indulgence or an acceptable stock ingredient in Primal eating? Do we need to shell out for nitrite-free? What about organic? Is there really such a thing as grass-fed pork?
A couple of weeks ago in the How Much Is Too Much post, I joked that there was no such thing as too much bacon. As much as I love my pork belly, I should clarify that the comment was tongue-in-cheek. Most folks got the jest, but it’s worth highlighting. When it comes to bacon, the fat is delectable. The protein is functional. The taste – phenomenal. The salt, however, (as a number of you pointed out) can be the problem. Although brands vary significantly, bacon generally averages around 1000 mg of sodium per 3.5 oz. serving. As I mentioned last week, I think reining in the sodium intake is a worthwhile endeavor.
Depending on your size, blood pressure and physical tolerance, I recommend staying somewhere below or within the 1500-2300 upper limit range. A Primal diet naturally nixes the obscene majority of sodium sources: soda, processed foods, etc. Unless you’re liberal with the salt shaker or indulge an addiction to sea vegetables each day, I think there’s room for bacon on a fairly regular basis. Personally, I often eat a few strips with an omelet in the morning, but just as often I use it as a garnish – a dash of bacon pieces in a salad, or in a scallop dish, for example.
Now for nitrites. We’ve admittedly hedged our bets on these additives in the past, but I’ll agree that shelling out for “naturally cured” bacon (or other cured products) isn’t worth the extra cost. Some folks like the taste or simply trust the use of ingredients like celery salt (which contains its own nitrates from the celery) more than a conventional product. Others buy nitrite free because the bacon tends to contain fewer additives in general or because they want to support local or organic farmers and nitrite-free is what they offer. Nonetheless, it appears to be of little consequence.
Just a quick and dirty review… We take in nitrates every day with our vegetables and, to a much smaller degree, with cured meats. Microorganisms in food and in our own digestive tracts convert some nitrates into nitrites, and some of these nitrites can then form nitrosamines, known carcinogens. Vegetables have sufficient antioxidant power that this small amount of conversion is inconsequential. As far as cured meats go, they generally only make up about a 10th of our nitrate intake, and a serving of vegetables or vitamins C and E can further inhibit the unwanted conversion (hence the orange juice recommendation some people follow with their bacon).
When it comes to bacon (pumped but not dry cured), the USDA responded a number of decades ago to concern about nitrosamine formation during the cooking process. Sodium and potassium nitrites were capped at safer levels. Vitamin C was then added to most bacon formulas. The departments’ research suggests that these adjustments prevent nitrosamine formation in medium cooked bacon (340 degrees F, 3 minutes cook time for each side), but well done and burnt bacon still pose some risk for nitrosamine conversion. Moral of the story: if you like well done bacon and choose naturally or conventionally cured, pop some vitamin C with your meal.
Finally, how could we do a post on bacon – that savory Primal treat – (let alone include pictures) without talking sources as well. Of course, bacon is one of those fine luxuries available in any market, but why not share the love today by suggesting your favorite brands (and cooking tips if you’re so inclined). As for my own preference, I’ve never been disappointed in any of the organic and/or pastured bacon I’ve found at my local farmers’ market, but I’m not too picky when it comes to bacon. (One of my favorite quotes from Cook’s Illustrated: “Bad bacon is something of an oxymoron.”)
As always, I’d recommend finding pork that’s antibiotic and hormone-free. Check the ingredients and look for the most natural list you can get. The more commercial the product, the more likely that list contains additives you don’t need. (The specially labeled “microwave” bacon isn’t worth picking up off the shelf.) Beyond that, there are organic options and “pastured,” which usually means part pasture and part grain/other vegetarian feed. If you’re choosing between fully organic or partially pastured, it can be a toss up. There are plenty of options, however, for pastured and organic/almost organic. Check out the Eat Wild and Local Harvest sites for pastured options in your neck of the woods, and for a little entertainment have fun perusing this bacon of the month club. There’s no assurance of pastured or antibiotic-free, but how can you beat a complimentary pig nose?
Thanks for reading, and I’ll look forward to reading everyone’s comments and suggestions!
O CEO da Renault–Nissan, o brasileiro Carlos Ghosn, veio ao seu país de origem para anunciar algumas ações e realizar palestras. Um dos temas principais de sua visita é o acordo para uso dos carros elétricos pela Prefeitura de São Paulo, e o anúncio do Logan 2011 com novo visual.
Outra tarefa que Ghosn tem aqui no Brasil é a de convencer as autoridades brasileiras a oferecer incentivos fiscais para a indrotução de carros elétricos no mercado, sendo que essa será a principal tendência no mercado automotivo em todo o mundo, e outros países já estão providenciando recursos.
Em entrevista ao jornal Valor, Ghosn foi bem direto em sua afirmação: “Sem ajuda oficial carro elétrico é inviável”. Isso porque as baterias de lítio tem um alto custo e baixa exploração, sendo os principais produtores mundiais a Argentina e o Chile, e a maior reserva do mundo fica na Bolívia, comandada por Evo Morales.
Para mostrar que estamos “dormindo no ponto”, países como EUA, Japão e França já se convenceram do futuro do mercado e ofereceram descontos para as pessoas que compram carros elétricos, mas infelizmente o Brasil parece ser um lugar onde isso não irá dar muito certo, já que com tantas dificuldades no setor elétrico (entenda-se: apagões) e a exploração do etanol, dificilmente o incentivo aos carros elétricos será uma prioridade de nosso governo.
Curiosamente, outros executivos do setor também concordam com a dificuldade da viabilização de carros elétricos em nosso país, dizendo que a exploração do etanol atrasará muito qualquer iniciativa a respeito.
