| 10:55 am - The Climate Clock and Copenhagen

Bonfire Image credit:Wikipedia
For those concerned about global warming, all eyes are on December's U.N. Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. The stakes could not be higher. Almost every new report shows that the climate is changing even faster than the most dire projections of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in their 2007 report.
Yet from my vantage point at Earth Policy Institute, internationally negotiated climate agreements are fast becoming obsolete for two reasons. Fi...Read the full story on TreeHugger

http://www.commondreams.org/view/2009/11/07-4 by Robert Fisk Could there be a more accurate description of the Obama-Brown message of congratulations to the fraudulently elected Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan? First the Palestinians held fair elections in 2006, voted for Hamas and were brutally punished for it - they still are - and then the Iranians held fraudulent elections in June which put back the weird Mahmoud Ahmadinejad whom everyone outside Iran (and a lot inside) regard as a dictator. read more

http://www.commondreams.org/view/2009/11/07-1 by Noam Chomsky The hopes and prospects for peace aren't well aligned-not even close. The task is to bring them nearer. Presumably that was the intent of the Nobel Peace Prize committee in choosing President Barack Obama. The prize "seemed a kind of prayer and encouragement by the Nobel committee for future endeavor and more consensual American leadership," Steven Erlanger and Sheryl Gay Stolberg wrote in The New York Times. The nature of the Bush-Obama transition bears directly on the likelihood that the prayers and encouragement might lead to progress. read more

| 07:28 am - What MP3 player should I buy?
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/boingboing/iBag/~3/0_0JAIeMNso/what-mp3-player-shou.html I'm in the market for a new MP3 player -- my second-gen iPod Nano is finally dead, and I don't want to buy another iPod, or any other player with DRM built in. I figure that any company that wants to devote its engineers to figuring out how to frustrate my desires doesn't really want my business.
Who'd got a suggestion? I'm looking for something:
- * small (Nano-sized or smaller),
- * low-capacity (8GB is fine, all I use it for is podcasts),
- * chargeable and connectable with a standard USB cable,
- * reasonably rugged,
- * with an LCD,
- * capable of marking some files as podcasts or audiobooks and remembering where you stopped playing them, and,
- * most importantly, I'm looking for something that can be connected to a set of lanyard headphones like these
I don't care if it has WiFi or Bluetooth, or if it plays games, or if it has a "store" on the net that lets me get music for it directly. I just want a chunk of solid-state storage with a headphone jack and a decent menuing system and headphones I can wear around my neck so that they don't get tangled in things.
Suggestions? Feed the comments, below (don't send email, I'm taking a break from it for the weekend).

| 02:44 pm - Linguistics; ET languages; your comments...
http://ozarque.livejournal.com/622393.html The first batch of your comments on my ET phonology question that I want to tackle is the batch that doesn't try to answer my question. I don't know whether it's because I didn't make myself clear, or because the question was perhaps read too quickly, or because the commenters just preferred not to color inside the lines. In any case...
My question was narrow and specific:
Suppose the ET language we're dealing with has three classes of meaningful sounds: vowels; consonants; and something else. What could the something else be?
Comments proposing that the something else could be colors, or smells, or the position of the speaker's face/ears/tail/fur -- something other than a class of meaningful sounds -- are answering a different question. It's an interesting question, and I thank you for the comments, but it's not the question that I asked.

I posted on Friday about Worldchanging's critic of the Dark Side of Transition Towns, in which Alex Steffen argued that the Transition Town movement is effectively burying its head in the sand—promoting ineffectual, perhaps folksy [I paraphrase], individual action instead of systemic or political change, and maybe even gleefully anticipating a social collapse. No sooner do I finish writing about the ensuing debate, that I come across a video that, I think, shows the true heart of Transition. ...Read the full story on TreeHugger

| 06:50 am - Saturday Morning Science Experiment: Surgery On a Beating Heart
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/boingboing/iBag/~3/vQUOlt7yw7M/saturday-morning-sci-4.html
And Now, Some Ripped-From-the-Headlines Context..... First, why a beating heart? Traditionally, if you had a clogged artery on your heart and doctors wanted to sew in some "bypass" arteries to get around the sluggish ones, the surgeon would shut your heart down, using a heart and lung machine to pump your blood instead. Less than a decade ago, though, doctors started collecting evidence suggesting that being on the pump could, occasionally, lead to strokes, memory loss and personality issues. Off-pump, beating-heart, bypass surgery became an alternative.
I'd had this video planned for the last couple of weeks. But, on Thursday, a big study came out that suggests off-pump isn't as great as everyone was hoping it would be--nor was on-pump as bad as everyone was worried about. The New York Times explains it thusly:
In the study, published Thursday in the New England Journal of Medicine, 2,203 patients were randomly assigned to have their bypass surgery on pump or off. Because the study was sponsored by the Department of Veterans Affairs, the patients were mostly men. A year later, those who had had off-pump surgery had poorer outcomes. Fewer bypasses stayed open and patients were more likely to have needed a repeat operation or to have had a heart attack or to have died. They were no less likely to have had strokes or difficulty thinking.

| 06:03 am - Danish anti-piracy group gives up
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/boingboing/iBag/~3/fvZBPVjRzOw/danish-anti-piracy-g.html Christian sez, "Just now it has been announced in the press by the official Danish Anti-Piracy agency, Antipiratgruppen, that they are throwing in the towel and will seize their operations completely; to find and prosecute music copyright offenders.
Here is a translation of the first published article in today's Danish press."
"We have to, because it is has been announced by the state court, that it takes very strong and concrete evidence to have these people prosecuted. We have simply not been able to establish the necessary evidence..."
An overview of Danish trials shows an extremely small possibility of getting sentenced - unless the the accused confesses. Four principal state court trials last year lead to three acquittals and only a single sentence for illegal file sharing. And this sentence only came into place because
"Out of the four cases we can establish, that the courts do not sentence owners of Internet connections simply because of technical identification of IP-adresses and technical recognition of files," they say.
Danish anti-piracy agency throw in the towel
(Thanks, Christian!)

http://barthsnotes.wordpress.com/2009/11/07/police-probe-the-revelations-of-the-mystics/ http://barthsnotes.wordpress.com/?p=6301 November 2003:
Greater Manchester Police have confirmed they restarted a search for a missing man after receiving information from a psychic.
It is understood the medium discovered the information about Vinny Derrick at an unrelated meeting.
But officers have told the BBC the information was so convincing they decided to carry out a further search.
August 2009:
THE family of a young man has made an emotional appeal for information on the sixth anniversary of his disappearance.
Vinny Derrick, from Castle Donington, was last seen leaving a nightclub in Manchester on August 29, 2003.
Well, at least that shows the police should now know better than to listen to psychics…
Alas!
POLICE launched a full-blown murder inquiry into a suicide victim’s death, after a mystic claimed he had been killed by gangsters.
Detectives investigated the death of Lampeter baker Carlos Assaf despite conclusive evidence he had hanged himself at his flat.
…A spokeswoman for Dyfed-Powys Police said the authority had a duty to investigate potential leads.
She added: “The revelations of the mystics were brought to our attention via the family, and these were followed to reassure the family that the full circumstances of the death were as they appeared.”
