POPSNew Errors In IPCC Climate Change Report
Researchers insist the errors are minor and do not impact on the overall conclusions about climate change. However, senior scientists are now expressing concern at the way the IPCC compiles its reports and have hit out at the panel’s use of so-called “grey literature” " evidence from sources that have not been subjected to scientific scrutiny. A new poll has revealed that public belief in climate change is weakening.The panel’s controversial chair, Rajendra Pachauri is facing pressure to resign over the affair. Drafts of the reports are checked by scientific reviewers before they are subjected to line-by-line approval by the 130 member countries of the IPCC. Despite these checks, a diagram used to demonstrate the potential for generating electricity from wave power has been found to contain numerous errors. The source of information for the diagram was cited as the website of UK-based wave-energy company Wavegen. Yet the diagram on Wavegen’s website contain ....

POPSInternet HoneyGrid reveals 95% of User Generated Content is spam or malicious "Covering the last six months of 2009, the report is based upon the findings of the ThreatSeeker Network which is used to discover, classify and monitor global Internet threats and trends courtesy of something called the Internet HoneyGrid. This comprises of honeyclients and honeypots, reputation systems and advanced grid computing systems, all of which combine to parse through one billion pieces of content every day while searching for security threats." Now,having lived in the rural South for years, I KNOW what a honeypot is,and I can understand how using it to analyze the web would show 95% of user generated content to be, ah, "waste matter". Still, I think the Honey Grid has some explaining to do. And if their report is valid, we have a lot of work to do cleaning up our act in order to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

POPS(BusinessWeek) – Is Global Warming a “Crock of S*%t?” When Cramer heard of that blunder she wrote a letter to the IPCC, saying she was "not amused" there were mistakes in the scientific report she bases the Dutch environmental policies on. Now she is confronted with errors in the data about her own country. "This can't happen again," the minister told reporters in The Hague on Wednesday. "The public trust in science and politics has been badly damaged."

POPSNext in Line for a Bailout: Social Security Trend-turning event, spotted by Elle d'Coda, Thanks. Too bad I have had to re-clip it to include it in our classified collection. If only Amplifiers could elect to share categorisation and tagging functions .... That would be much more useful than "autogenerated tags" which simply repeat words in the text which are search-able anyway.

POPSGet the shovel...........it's a deep hole!
Wall Street economists expect the January report will show a tiny increase of 5,000 jobs. That would be only the second monthly gain since the recession began. But it probably wouldn’t be enough to hold down the unemployment rate, which is forecast to rise to 10.1 percent. That would match October’s 26-year high. And it would be the fourth-straight month of double-digit joblessness. The Labor Department’s revisions on employment levels are done every year. They are based on unemployment insurance tax data that companies submit to states. Jobs remain scarce even as the economy is recovering: Gross domestic product, the broadest measure of the nation’s output, has risen for two straight quarters. GDP rose by 5.7 percent in the October-December quarter, the fastest pace in six years. But hiring is still lagging. Many economists say businesses are reluctant to add workers because it’s not clear whether the recovery will continue once government stimulus measures, such as tax credi

POPSBig Stock Swoon Not mentioned here is the increasing US deficit. We are spending over a trillion more than we have annually as far as the eye can see. The government doesn't take balancing the budget seriously. Unfortunately, while the government may think it can spend what it wants with no consequences, the market will stop them. Despite the hatred of the free markets from the big spenders on the Left and Right, the free markets have a way of auto-correcting the excesses. Unfortunately, the American people end up paying the price.

POPSFeds Refuse to Explain How Agent Injured Daily Caller Writer (According the police department, no report will be publicly available for at least three days.) According to Medlock, who writes under the name Jim Treacher, he was struck at about 7:15 p.m. on Wednesday, while crossing M Street in downtown Washington. Medlock says he was walking within the bounds of the crosswalk, toward a blinking white signal, when a government SUV suddenly turned left and plowed into him, knocking him to the ground. Bystanders moved Medlock out of the street, collected his crushed glasses and called an ambulance. McGuinn, meanwhile, called The Daily Caller’s offices from the scene to tell Medlock’s colleagues about the incident. But he did not identify himself to them or to Medlock. Medlock was taken to Georgetown University Hospital with a broken left knee, lacerations and bruises. He will undergo surgery later this week. At the hospital, DC police officer John Muniz arrived to issue Medlock a $20 jaywalking ticket.
