Doomsday?prophecy fizzles out ... again

Once again, the world failed to end, despite a high-profile prediction from a radio preacher in California.

Harold Camping, the 90-year-old leader of Family Radio International, stirred a global frenzy when he predicted that the Rapture would take 200 million Christians to heaven on May 21. When the Rapture didn't occur, Camping said he got his Bible-based calculations wrong and revised his prophecy to set the world's end on Friday, Oct. 21.

But as the day wore on around the world, there was no sign that doomsday had dawned.

Millions of dollars had been spent by Family Radio and its followers to get the world out about May's date with doomsday. Some quit their jobs, or donated retirement savings or college funds for the more than 5,000 billboards and 20 RVs that were plastered with Judgment Day messages.

This time around, Camping took a lower profile ? perhaps because he was chastened by the mockery he suffered in May, or perhaps because of his health.

Camping suffered a mild stroke in June. His daily radio program, "Open Forum," is no longer aired on the Family Radio syndication network, which includes more than 60 U.S. radio stations.

Contacted by telephone on Thursday, Family spokesman Tom Evans declined to comment on Camping or his prophecies ? except to say that he had "retired" as a radio host but remained chairman of the board of Family Stations Inc.

'Nothing to report'
Camping himself had little to say when he answered the door of his home in Alameda, wearing a bathrobe and leaning on a walker. "We're not having a conversation," he told a Reuters reporter, shaking his head with a chuckle. "There's nothing to report here."

Municipal records show that a Sunday prayer group led by Camping, the Alameda Bible Fellowship, has continued to meet on a weekly basis in a large ground-floor room of the Veterans Memorial Building leased by the city Recreation and Parks Department.

Marcia Tsang, a facilities coordinator for the department, said receipts show that Camping's group has been renting that space since at least 1996, paying the standard fee of $45 an hour. The room remains assigned to his fellowship under an evergreen reservation that extends beyond this week, she said.

Local American Legion officer Ron Parshall, 70, part of a veterans group that meets at the same building in an adjacent room one Sunday a month, said he has seen Camping leading his Bible services there regularly.

He said Camping's congregation has dwindled since the failed prophecy in May ? down to about 25 attendees on a typical Sunday, plus about 20 youngsters who attend Sunday school classes in conjunction with the prayer group.

Parshall said he thought Camping was "a nice man."

"He was just too radical for me," he said. "Anyone who claims to be that close to God, I take it with a grain of salt."

Calculating the endtime
Most Christian interpreters of the Bible ? even those who believe the end is truly near ? say the precise date for Judgment Day cannot be predicted. They generally point to a passage in the Book of Matthew in which Jesus says "no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen."

Camping, however, based his prophecies on an idiosyncratic calculation of the number of years since the Noah's Ark flood and the number of days since Jesus' crucifixion, plus a healthy dose of numerology. If it weren't for the multimillion-dollar publicity campaign, his prediction might have attracted little notice in May.

In a message on the Family Radio website, Camping tried to explain his revised math. He said that God's judgment and salvation were actually completed on May 21, but that a reinterpretation of the dates in the Bible pointed to an Oct. 21 doomsday.

"Thus we can be sure that the whole world, with the exception of those who are presently saved (the elect), are under the judgment of God, and will be annihilated together with the whole physical world on Oct. 21," he said on the website.

Camping said he didn't think doomsday would be marked by natural disasters or blasts of hellfire. "I really am beginning to think as I've restudied these matters that there's going to be no big display of any kind," he said. "The end is going to come very, very quietly."

Camping, a retired civil engineer, also prophesied that the Apocalypse would come in 1994, but he said later that didn't happen because of a mathematical error.

Earth is warming, study concludes

The Earth's surface really is getting warmer, a new analysis by a US scientific group set up in the wake of the "Climategate" affair has concluded.

The Berkeley Earth Project has used new methods and some new data, but finds the same warming trend seen by groups such as the UK Met Office and Nasa.

The project received funds from sources that back organisations lobbying against action on climate change.

"Climategate", in 2009, involved claims global warming had been exaggerated.

Emails of University of East Anglia (UEA) climate scientists were hacked, posted online and used by critics to allege manipulation of climate change data.

Fresh start

The Berkeley group says it has also found evidence that changing sea temperatures in the north Atlantic may be a major reason why the Earth's average temperature varies globally from year to year.

The project was established by University of California physics professor Richard Muller, who was concerned by claims that established teams of climate researchers had not been entirely open with their data.

He gathered a team of 10 scientists, mostly physicists, including such luminaries as Saul Perlmutter, winner of this year's Nobel Physics Prize for research showing the Universe's expansion is accelerating.

Funding came from a number of sources, including charitable foundations maintained by the Koch brothers, the billionaire US industrialists, who have also donated large sums to organisations lobbying against acceptance of man-made global warming.

Our biggest surprise was that the new results agreed so closely with the warming values published previously?

End Quote Richard Muller Berkeley group founder

"I was deeply concerned that the group [at UEA] had concealed discordant data," Prof Muller told BBC News.

"Science is best done when the problems with the analysis are candidly shared."

The group's work also examined claims from "sceptical" bloggers that temperature data from weather stations did not show a true global warming trend.

The claim was that many stations have registered warming because they are located in or near cities, and those cities have been growing - the urban heat island effect.

The Berkeley group found about 40,000 weather stations around the world whose output has been recorded and stored in digital form.

It developed a new way of analysing the data to plot the global temperature trend over land since 1800.

What came out was a graph remarkably similar to those produced by the world's three most important and established groups, whose work had been decried as unreliable and shoddy in climate sceptic circles.

Two of those three records are maintained in the US, by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa).

The third is a collaboration between the UK Met Office and UEA's Climatic Research Unit (CRU), from which the e-mails that formed the basis of the "Climategate" furore were hacked two years ago.

"Our biggest surprise was that the new results agreed so closely with the warming values published previously by other teams in the US and the UK," said Prof Muller.

"This confirms that these studies were done carefully and that potential biases identified by climate change sceptics did not seriously affect their conclusions."

Since the 1950s, the average temperature over land has increased by 1C, the group found.

They also report that although the urban heat island effect is real - which is well-established - it is not behind the warming registered by the majority of weather stations around the world.

They also showed that in the US, weather stations rated as "high quality" by Noaa showed the same warming trend as those rated as "low quality".

'Time for apology'

Prof Phil Jones, the CRU scientist who came in for the most personal criticism during "Climategate", was cautious about interpreting the Berkeley results because they have not been published in a peer-reviewed journal.

"I look forward to reading the finalised paper once it has been reviewed and published," he said.

"These initial findings are very encouraging, and echo our own results and our conclusion that the impact of urban heat islands on the overall global temperature is minimal."

The Berkeley team has chosen to release the findings initially on its own website.

They are asking for comments and feedback before preparing the manuscripts for formal scientific publication.

In part, this counters the accusation made during "Climategate" that climate scientists formed a tight clique who peer-reviewed each other's papers and made sure their own global warming narrative was the only one making it into print.

But for Richard Muller, this free circulation also marks a return to how science should be done.

"That is the way I practised science for decades; it was the way everyone practised it until some magazines - particularly Science and Nature - forbade it," he said.

"That was not a good change, and still many fields such as string theory practice the traditional method wholeheartedly."

This open "wiki" method of review is regularly employed in physics, the home field for seven of the 10 Berkeley team.

Bob Ward, policy and communications director for the Grantham Research Institute for Climate Change and the Environment in London, said the warming of the Earth's surface was unequivocal.

"So-called 'sceptics' should now drop their thoroughly discredited claims that the increase in global average temperature could be attributed to the impact of growing cities," he said.

"More broadly, this study also proves once again how false it was for 'sceptics' to allege that the e-mails hacked from UEA proved that the CRU land temperature record had been doctored.

"It is now time for an apology from all those, including US presidential hopeful Rick Perry, who have made false claims that the evidence for global warming has been faked by climate scientists."

Ocean currents

The Berkeley group does depart from the "orthodox" picture of climate science in its depiction of short-term variability in the global temperature.

The El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is generally thought to be the main reason for inter-annual warming or cooling.

But by the Berkeley team's analysis, the global temperature correlates more closely with the state of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) index - a measure of sea surface temperature in the north Atlantic.

There are theories suggesting that the AMO index is in turn driven by fluctuations in the north Atlantic current commonly called the Gulf Stream.

The team suggests it is worth investigating whether the long-term AMO cycles, which are thought to last 65-70 years, may play a part in the temperature rise, fall and rise again seen during the 20th Century.

But they emphasise that anthropogenic global warming (AGW) driven by greenhouse gas emissions is very much in their picture.

"Had we found no global warming, then that would have ruled out AGW," said Prof Muller.

"Had we found half as much, it would have suggested that prior estimates [of AGW] were too large; if we had found more warming, it would have raised the question of whether prior estimates were too low.

"But we didn't; we found that the prior rise was confirmed. That means that we do not directly affect prior estimates."

The team next plans to look at ocean temperatures, in order to construct a truly global dataset.

World Bank chief urges "definite steps" by Europe (Reuters)

ANN ARBOR, Michigan (Reuters) ? The head of the World Bank on Wednesday warned there was not a lot of room for error as European leaders scramble to agree on increasing the size of a bailout fund before a key October 23 summit on the region's debt crisis.

France and Germany have pledged to come up with a convincing plan in time for the Brussels summit on Sunday that would rein in the debt crisis that has been weighing on the world economy.

"I believe this can come together and I believe that since our annual meeting in September, the Europeans have been much more ... focused about this issue, but I also believe there's not a lot of room for error," World Bank President Robert Zoellick told reporters after an event at the University of Michigan.

"If the Europeans set some definite steps that don't stretch too much in the future, markets will react actually well to that," he added.

Zoellick earlier told several hundred students and professors he was concerned the euro zone crisis would spread to emerging market countries, which are currently driving global growth. He also noted the budgets of poorer nations were still recovering from the 2008-09 global financial crisis.

He said Sunday's summit as well as the Group of 20 meeting of officials from major economies in France next month were critical to see "whether there are enough actions that match the commitments to deal with some of the market anxieties" over Europe.

Europe faced three immediate challenges, he added, including the recapitalization of its banks, reducing budget deficits in fiscally-strained countries and resolving the sovereign debt crisis in Greece.

Zoellick said the World Bank, together with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, were monitoring whether the possible sale of assets by European parent banks to raise capital would impact subsidiaries in developing regions such as Central and Eastern Europe, and the Balkans.

"It is a very fragile environment, so whether it's for the United States or whether it is for the developing world, the actions that the euro zone needs to take over the course of the next weeks remain vitally important," he told reporters.

CNN rolling out one-hour feature on female fighting this Sunday night

CNN will devote an hour to mixed martial arts this weekend with its "Fighting Girls" piece on "CNN Presents."

[...] Today, it's one of the fastest growing sports among men? and now women.? But why would any woman climb into a cage for all-out combat for what amounts to almost nothing?? CNN's Amber Lyon steps into the Octagon to find out.

One hour ? four riveting stories.? Don't miss CNN Presents hosted by CNN's Soledad O'Brien and Dr. Sanjay Gupta this Sunday, October 23 at 8:00 pm ET, re-airing at 11:00 pm ET and 2:00 am ET.

Las Vegas' Michelle Gutierrez is one of the featured fighters. A former boxer, she trains at Throwdown in Sin City.

"The most rewarding part of fighting is the feeling you get when the cage door shuts. It's you alone, fending for yourself, kind of like taking care of yourself in the worst conditions," she states. "It's unlike anything else."

She's a Twitter maniac, but says trash talk isn't needed in fighting.

"My goal in MMA is to break the mold. To be girly, but tough; a striker and a submission artist; a class act that gets along with everyone and avoids the catty call outs," Gutierrez said.

She lifted that rule for a few celebs during a conversation with Bleacher Report last year.

"I would go after Lindsay Lohan because she's so skanky, you know? Snooki is skanky too but there's somewhat of a normal girl underneath all of that hairspray and tan but Lindsay is so pale and sick looking. She needs to get off drugs, go eat some food and go for a run or something," Gutierrez said.

Gutierrez is also the mother of a five-year old.

"I want to be successful at this sport to make my daughter proud. I want her to see that a girl can do anything they want; even fight for a living. And I want to make a name for myself so that I know my mother would have been proud as well."

The CNN piece should be interesting. In the past, the network has been a bit skittish about the sport. How it'll cover the female side of the sport is anyone's guess.

U.S. rivers and streams saturated with carbon

ScienceDaily (Oct. 19, 2011) ? Rivers and streams in the United States are releasing substantially more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than previously thought, according to researchers publishing their results in the current issue of the journal Nature Geoscience.

Their findings could change the way scientists model the movement of carbon among land, water and the atmosphere.

"Direct measurements of carbon dioxide concentrations and fluxes in streams and rivers are still extremely rare," said Henry Gholz, program director in the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology, which funded the research.

"This study demonstrates that both are much higher than assumed. The research should enable more predictive and precise models of carbon cycling at regional to global scales."

The researchers found that a significant amount of carbon contained in land, which first is absorbed by plants and forests through the air, is leaking into streams and rivers and then released into the atmosphere before reaching coastal waterways.

"What we are able to show is that there is a source of atmospheric carbon dioxide from streams and rivers, and that it is significant enough for terrestrial modelers to take note of it," said David Butman, a co-author of the paper and scientist at the Yale University School of Forestry & Environmental Studies.

He and his co-author, ecologist Peter Raymond also of Yale, analyzed data from samples of more than 4,000 rivers and streams throughout the United States, and incorporated detailed geospatial data to model the flux of carbon dioxide from water.

This release is equal to a car burning 40 billion gallons of gasoline, enough to drive back and forth to the moon 3.4 million times.

"These rivers breathe a lot of carbon," said Butman. "They are a source of carbon dioxide, just like we breathe out carbon dioxide and like smokestacks emit carbon dioxide.

"This has never been systematically estimated from a region as large as the United States."

The paper, titled "Significant Efflux of Carbon Dioxide from Streams and Rivers in the United States," also indicates that as the climate heats up there will be more rain and snow, and that an increase in precipitation will result in even more terrestrial carbon flowing into rivers and streams and being released into the atmosphere.

Any accurate estimate of carbon uptake vs. carbon released must include the carbon in streams and rivers, Butman said.

The researchers note that currently it's difficult to determine how to include this flux in regional carbon budgets, because the influence of human activity on the release of carbon dioxide into streams and rivers is still unknown.

The research was also funded by a NASA Earth and Space Science Fellowship, a NASA Carbon & Ecosystems Program grant, and the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies.

AT&T's profits are down, but the carrier is still smiling

There's good news and bad news in AT&T's third quarter report. The carrier's profit dropped to $3.6 billion for the quarter -- that's down from $12.32 billion from this time last year. That drop could be due in part to the loss of iPhone exclusivity (a matter recently compounded with the addition of Sprint as a carrier for the 4S) and the fact that the company pulled in profits from the sale of assets in 2010. AT&T activated 2.7 million iPhones during Q3, a marked drop over previous quarters. On the up side of things, the sale of Android devices has more than doubled, year over year. AT&T added 2.1 million wireless subscribers, passing 100 million, which the carrier seems quite pleased with, as evidenced by the exceedingly chipper video below.

Update: AT&T dropped us a line to point out that the gains from a one-time tax settlement also significantly contributed to the company's 2010 profit and by extension the drop in profits year-over-year. According to an AT&T spokesperson, "If you take those one-time items out of the mix, profit was actually up 13-percent year-over-year. In addition, wireless margins were up significantly, which means wireless profits increased."

Update 2: AT&T also announced this morning that it had activated one million units of the iPhone 4S as of Tuesday. Press release is included underneath the video below.

Ballmer On Not Buying Yahoo: ?Sometimes You?re Lucky?

aacd2b5c48b14e429eec4e0fad3be83b_7Speaking today at Web 2.0, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer was boisterous as usual. In a rousing talk with John Batelle, Ballmer talked about how, since last being on stage at Web 2.0 three years ago, Bing has doubled its market share, Microsoft hasn't completely given up on competing with Google+ and social, the tech giant bought Skype for a boatload, among other topics of interest for Microsofties and Windows aficionados. In what was both a stroll down memory lane, and a calibration of Microsoft's roadmap going forward, Batelle raised the question of whether or not Ballmer was glad that Microsoft didn't buy Yahoo for $44 billion back in 2008. "Sometimes you are lucky", he said, grinning.

Carl Colby Discusses His Film 'The Man Nobody Knew' (omg!)

"The Man Nobody Knew" is a fascinating documentary by Emmy-winning filmmaker Carl Colby. But unlike Colby's past projects, which include "Zeffirelli's Tosca" and "Legends in Light," this movie tells a very personal story. The "man" who is the subject of the doc is Colby's own father, who spent his entire career working covertly for the U.S. government.

The film explores William Colby's rise from a World War II OSS officer to Director of the CIA. All the while his family was enthralled by the jet-setting lifestyle but in the dark about who this man really was. By the end of his time with "The Company" William Colby came clean and exposed some of the CIA's deepest, darkest secrets, resulting in his dismissal and ending his career. In a recent exclusive interview, Carl Colby discussed why he took on this project and what he knew about his dad's job as a kid.

Carl Colby Was Inspired by the Events of 9/11 to Make the Film

Colby had not intended to make a film about his father but on September 11, 2001 all that changed. After watching the Twin Towers fall to the ground, he saw an interview that changed his path. "Wolf Blitzer was interviewing James Baker, who had been Secretary of State. And Blitzer asked him how this happened and Baker said, 'I trace this back directly to the Senate and House hearings in the 1970s when Director William Colby was forced to reveal the CIA's Family Jewels and we lost all the capability to do covert actions and clandestine activities.'"

Colby said he then began seeing images on TV of "CIA operatives sporting beards and wearing turbans and they're riding camelback across the Afghan plains with the Northern Alliance fighting the Taliban. And I thought 'That kind of looks like OSS.'"

This connection inspired him to take a closer look at his father's career. "I started making what I thought was going to be a professional portrait about my father, a biography from a very serious war fighting point of view. And in Washington that's fine. But then when I started to ask the deeper questions, it was like there was like a divide. Some people, particularly women, were like. 'Go for that, that's much more interesting.'"

Carl Colby Started By Interviewing His Mother

And so "The Man Nobody Knew" began to take shape. And the best place for Colby to start his exploration was with the women who, theoretically, knew his father the best. "My first interview of real substance was with my mother And that opened up things to me. First of all she expressed the fun of the CIA life."

He recalled the pop culture memories of his childhood. "In the old days it was Bond. It was James Coburn. It was 'I Spy.' It was all very cool. And JFK and RFK loved the spies."

But he thinks this glamour is lacking in today's depictions of the covert lifestyle. He told a story of meeting Matt Damon after a screening of "The Good Shepherd." Damon knew of his father, and in fact, has studied him for his role. He asked Colby's opinion on the film and Colby stated, "It was very, very good. Great film, all the detail is perfect. But there was one thing missing. It's so grim."

Colby recounted a scene that he depicted in his film, where his parents were out for an evening of socializing in Italy and his mother turned to her husband and said, "Who are we tonight, Bill?" Colby noted, "It's kind of an excitement to that." He then went on to say, "But then of course there's the dark side when it starts to unravel. And what is he really doing? And is it moral? And is it right?"

Carl Colby Was Fascinated with His Father's Job

Colby was unaware of his dad's profession as a young child. His family moved from country to country always providing him with a new adventure. He remarked, "As a kid I growing up, I was Jerry Mathers, just I wasn't living in L.A. I was living in Saigon. I was living in Rome." But he admitted his naivete came to a halt one day by a swimming pool with a friend. He described Cercle Sportif, a notorious club in Saigon. "There would be French planters there, American Colonels, obviously some CIA people, French prostitutes. It would be like if the Beverly Hills Hotel in the old days was open to kids as well. You'd see a few things in the cabanas."

He continued, "I was on the diving board at the Cercle Sportif and one of my best friends who must have known something I didn't know, says, 'You know your dad's a spy.' I said, 'No, he works for the Embassy.'" But Colby's curiosity was piqued and he went home and asked his father straight out. His father's reply was, "Let's just keep that our little secret."

But Colby felt he now had a mission. "I'm helping protect him. And then little things would come up every few months that I'd say, 'God I went on this hunting trip with Mr. X. It was incredible. He's such a great shot.' And he'd say, 'Very Interesting. Don't ever mention his name again.' So I realized he must be deep cover, not a good idea to blab about him. So that's not doing too much but I'm part of the family now. It's not 'The Sopranos,' but somewhat similar."

'The Man Nobody Knew' Is a Morality Tale

While the film is a biography of his father, Colby pointed out at its essence is a morality tale. He noted, "One of the major themes of the movie is the Catholicism. It sets the tone... My mother is setting the standard. And you had best behave and measure up to that standard."

He continued, "Once my father kind of confessed all of what the CIA has been up to and then was fired for basically telling the truth, I think he didn't have a mission any more. So he didn't need her. He didn't need us and what do you think our question was? Was it ever real? Were we just a cover? Were we just cut outs, a convenient mask? And I think it drew us together but that's an ever-present feeling I get and frankly sometimes it was the hardest thing to think about because I think the answer was, 'Yes, it was a cover.'"

And this realization was a difficult pill for Colby's mother to swallow - after all those years of marriage to recognize it was a sham. Colby acknowledged, "My mother went through a wrenching experience after the divorce because, "What does it all mean?" And yet I think not just her faith, but her faith in humanity kind of overrode this. And so this is her epiphany. I called her up yesterday and said, 'It's playing in New York From around 11 o'clock in the morning until about 10:30 at night you're on screen somewhere in Manhattan.' And she was like, 'That's great.' So she gets her revenge."

'The Man Nobody Knew' is premiering in Los Angeles at the Landmark Nuart on Friday, October 14. It will also be playing in art houses across the country in through the end of the year. Check local listings for dates and times.
