<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>So, let me do it for them. <a href="http://savecapitalism.wordpress.com/climate-data-fraud/">This</a> is stuff that leaked out from the Hadley Climate Research Unit, responsible for much of the work behind the IPCC climate reports. Do these scientists seem trustworthy to you? Does it seem proper to retard the economic development of the ENTIRE WORLD just because these guys produced an odd-looking graph?</p>
<p>Have you READ the criticism? Or the original reports? Are you aware that a decision in Copenhagen is going to doom millions of poor people to a life without electricity and clean water? We NEED power, and we NEED to use coal and oil. Carbon-dioxide does NOT mean the apocalypse &#8211; it means minimal heating, and better crops worldwide. Stop being ignorant &#8211; and at least look at the facts. If anyone want to debate this, start by putting down a comment explaining how CO2 will lead to catastrophic warming.</p>
<p>The sad fact is that the explanation does not exist &#8211; its a political fraud. I challenge you to try me on it.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.svd.se/naringsliv/nyheter/artikel_3827371.svd">SvD</a>, <a href="http://www.dn.se/ekonomi/klimatchef-satter-press-pa-eu-1.1000276">DN</a></p>
<p>(and I fully intend to come back with a post outlining what is wrong with the RealClimate&#8217;s supposed &#8220;defense&#8221; for the statements made)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>This universe was not made for you.<br />
You are unallocated in list of<br />
Participators and only consume… and we’ve entirely forgotten about you.<br />
You do nothing.<br />
You deserve an even smaller potion of happiness than the<br />
Everything  you neglect,<br />
A unit so close to zero, it can only be limited to<br />
The lowest number you can squeeze out of<br />
your tube.</p>
<p>Most of the doors are shut at your approach, and we’re<br />
Glad to see your nose close, but far<br />
From the other side of plexi.</p>
<p>If they destroy you, and when they will –<br />
Nothing will happen; you’ve allowed the science<br />
And majesty of prediction to take the place of<br />
Sweet, unreasoned faith.</p>
<p>Die, fruitless laborer. Crumble into your dry skin and<br />
Rot.<br />
Snap your femur with the flat plate of head-bone<br />
Before you go,<br />
And limp… limp into the dark underworld you hardly deserve,<br />
But where else can they put you?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>While I&#8217;ve been focusing on the email dump from CRU, others have started looking at the code. This is completely unbelievable :</p>
<blockquote><p>function mkp2correlation,indts,depts,remts,t,filter=filter,refperiod=refperiod,$<br />

;<br />
; THIS WORKS WITH REMTS BEING A 2D ARRAY (nseries,ntime) OF MULTIPLE TIMESERIES<br />
; WHOSE INFLUENCE IS TO BE REMOVED. UNFORTUNATELY THE IDL5.4 p_correlate<br />

<p>Artificially adjusted to look closer to the real temperatures!?!?!?!?!? I cannot vouch for the validity of this code, I will have to direct towards <a href="http://noconsensus.wordpress.com/">the Air Vent</a> &#8211; but presumably it comes from the bundle dumped last Thursday.</p>
<p><strong>Update : </strong>Another one, from <a href="http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/11/22/cru-emails-may-be-open-to-interpretation-but-commented-code-by-the-programmer-tells-the-real-story/#more-13065">Wattsupwiththat</a></p>

<p>Note the wording here “avoid the decline” versus “hide the decline” in the famous email.</p>

<p>Avoid the decline? Which decline should be avoided and why???</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>My apologiez for getting stuck on this issue lately &#8211; but I will have to keep being stuck with it for a while. This issue is to big to ignore &#8211; and as things look we are approaching critical mass on the media awareness of what has been going on inside the Hadley Climate Research Unit. The emails recently released may not be the ultimate proof that the entire thing is a fraud &#8211; but its evidence damning enough to call for a complete audit of all the published literature in the subject. Thus, if I get even one person to question what is actually going on, it&#8217;s important enough. For those following this story, I recommend</p>
<p>1. <a href="http://savecapitalism.wordpress.com/climate-data-fraud/">My own reference of these emails</a> I&#8217;m going through them backwards, so I won&#8217;t be completely finished anytime soon, but I&#8217;ll keep at it.<br />
2. <a href="http://www.climateaudit.org/">ClimateAudit</a>, the blog by Stephen McIntyre that is responsible for bringing much of this into the light.<br />
3. <a href="http://wattsupwiththat.com/">Wattsupwiththat</a>, Anthony Watts blog (responsible for doing a complete, independant temperature stations survey in the US)<br />
4. <a href="http://noconsensus.wordpress.com/">The Air Vent</a>, where the emails were originally dumped by an unknown source<br />
5. <a href="http://bishophill.squarespace.com/">Bishop Hill</a>, which also has a list of 33 of the most interesting emails found sofar<br />
6. <a href="http://www.anelegantchaos.org/cru/">Unknown server with the emails</a> which was set up a couple of days ago</p>
<p>Sofar, a few papers have picked up on this story. Not many of the mainstream outlets, however &#8211; which means that until this thing gains enough steam &#8211; no rest for the wicked. I&#8217;m back to going through endless amounts of uninteresting mail traffic in search of those incriminating parts that need to be highlighted.</p>

<p>&#160;<span class="rating">&#8220;Great addition to dystopian fiction&#8221;</span>&#160;<span class="reviewdate">2009-11-18</span><br />By <b>1morechapter.com</b> (Omaha, NE)<br />&#8220;Those Impressionists,&#8221; she said, &#8220;they certainly knew about color. And about light and shade. Different kinds of shade: thinner shadows that let the light through, and heavier, denser ones. And it&#8217;s as if Monet made this garden to show the world how he saw colors. How he saw their power, their potential, and their purpose. I think he wanted to show that the world is color. That life itself is color. That if we can just see the colors, really see them, life will be beautiful. And meaningful. Because beauty has a value of its own, that&#8217;&#8217;s how I see it anyway.&#8221; &#8211; p. 37</p>
<p>&#8220;People who read books,&#8221; he went on, &#8220;tend to be dispensable. Extremely.&#8221; &#8211; p. 48</p>
<p>Useful or dispensable? A life of choice or no choice? And what if your own choices led you to have to give of your own body to the `needed&#8217; until your `final donation&#8217;?</p>
<p>I love dystopian fiction, and this book was no exception. It reminded me quite a bit of Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, so if you enjoyed that book, you&#8217;ll probably like this one as well. Reading books like this is always a reminder of the ways society could go horribly wrong, and sadly, I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if parts of the book actually do come to pass someday.</p>
<p>Dorrit, age 50, has reached an age where she is now considered dispensable because she has no children or parents to take care of and because she is a writer, which is considered an unessential occupation. The dispensables in The Unit are provided for in every way, a nice apartment, exercise facilities, and entertainment venues, etc. Except that they are monitored 24/7, and of course, they may never leave The Unit. Dorrit makes great friends here, and in some ways her life is better than when she was on the outside, but, obviously, her life and her body are not her own. She is essentially a commodity of the State.</p>
<p>The book raises some excellent ethical questions. Is a person&#8217;s life itself precious and valuable, or is it only what they can contribute to society that is deemed worthwhile? My view will always be the former.</p>

<p>&#160;<span class="rating">&#8220;Fascinating and imaginative&#8221;</span>&#160;<span class="reviewdate">2009-10-28</span><br />By <b>E. Miller</b> (ME)<br />Others have given the plot so I will just add that I found this book to be one I couldn&#8217;t put down. I found it well written and the plot different, very different and fascinating. It probably isn&#8217;t for everyone but I have recommended it to several friends as I wanted to have someone to discuss it with. I&#8217;ve never read anything like it- frightening that perhaps the way our society is going that it could happen here or in Europe. It is not always a comfortable read but good.</p>

Crawford</b> (South Jersey)<br />If you are single and gay, this book will give you the creeps. In the book it seems mostly heterosexual people are valued because they can reproduce. If people are single and don&#8217;t reproduce they are considered disposable. I recommend this book. It was hard to put down. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Finally another room ticked off the list. Well its nearly finished I still have to do some touch up painting, find door handles and a new light for the ceiling, but other than that I think I can say its complete.</p>
<p>I know she might not be perfect but she is damn close the gorgeous white rectangle tiles make her look stylish and modern. The new stove has officially been broken in and it bakes the most delicious cookies.. Mmm but that could be partly because I cook them as well. And of course the bench I feel such a sense of achievement every time I look at it.</p>
<p>So to the Italiano thank you for all your help with the kitchen. Your generosity was amazing, you gave up your time, donated materials and used your skills to help me finish the kitchen. hahah and who knows maybe your right by watching and listening to you maybe I will have learnt the art of tiling.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>This is too big. It has started hitting msm. If things don&#8217;t explode within the next 48 hours then I&#8217;ll eat my hat. <a href="http://www.anelegantchaos.org/cru/emails.php?eid=162">Another email found</a> :</p>
<blockquote><p>From: Phil Jones To: Shaopeng Huang ,hpollack@xxxxxxxxx.xxx Subject: Nature paper and beyond Date: Fri, 03 Mar 2000 13:04:24 +0000 Cc: mann@xxxxxxxxx.xxx,tom@xxxxxxxxx.xxx,k.briffa@xxxxxxxxx.xxx, t.osborn@xxxxxxxxx.xxx</p>
<p>Dear Shaopeng and Henry,</p>
<p>First, congratulations on the Nature paper. Can you send me some reprints when you get them ?</p>
<p>I was at a meeting this week with Tom Crowley and we were discussing ways to reconcile the high-freq proxies with your borehole data. Here are a couple of our thoughts. Involving Mike Mann and others here in CRU, as they all have an input.</p>
<p>1. I&#8217;ve shown that the borehole data in Europe agree well with the long instrumental data in both the UK and Europe. The biggest differences/problems seem to come with the North American borehole data, which show the 16/17/18th data much cooler than the European/Asian/African data in the 16/17th century. <strong>I&#8217;m still reminded by the potential effects of land-use changes, principally in the eastern US, which could be making your North American series too cool. </strong><strong>I realise you&#8217;ve taken great care with the selection, but this is a nagging doubt and will be picked up by the few skeptics trying to divide us all about the course of change over the last millennium.</strong> I<strong>s it possible to subdivide the North American borehole data into regions where we can be confident of no land-use changes (possibly and thinking aloud say Canada and the western US and Alaska) ? </strong>The aim of this (possibly joint work) is to try and reconcile the low- and high-freq proxies. Tom Crowley has a series for the NH where he&#8217;s combined about 20 series (a few of which are in Mike&#8217;s and the series we&#8217;ve produced here but he has over half the series from less-well resolved proxies &#8211; shallow marine and lake sediments) and he gets something very similar to Mike and CRU.</p>
<p>2. <strong>As all our (Mike, Tom and CRU) all show that the first few centuries of the millennium were cooler than the 20th century, we will come in for some flak from the skeptics saying we&#8217;re wrong because everyone knows it was warmer in the Medieval period. We can show why we believe we are correct with independent data from glacial advances and even slower responding proxies, however, what are the chances of putting together a group of a very few borhole series that are deep enough to get the last 1000 years. Basically trying to head off criticisms of the IPCC chapter, but good science in that we will be rewriting people&#8217;s perceived wisdom about the course of temperature change over the past millennium. It is important as studies of the millennium will help to show that the levels of natural variability from models are reasonable.</strong> Tom has run his EBM with current best estimates of past forcing (Be-10 as a proxy for solar output and Alan Robock&#8217;s ice core volcanic index) and this produces a series similar to all series of the last 1000 years.</p>
<p>The above is just ideas of how we, as a group, could/should try and reduce criticisms etc over the next year or so. <strong>Nothing is sacred.</strong> Your North American borehole series could be correct as it is annual and most of the high-freq proxy series respond mainly to summer variations. Is yours really annual when there is a marked seasonal snow cover season ?</p>
<p>Cheers Phil</p></blockquote>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://dsgperformance.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/599-gto-j.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-584" title="599 GTO J" src="http://dsgperformance.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/599-gto-j.jpg" alt="" width="497" height="293" /></a></p>
<p>So there has been a fair bit of gossip this week. The news that has been standing out most with no surprise would be the rumor of a Ferrari 599 GTO Limited Edition!</p>
<p>Now don&#8217;t take us on our word for this because they are merely rumors at this point but word on the track is that the GTO will be reduced in by 100-143 pounds in weight and will boast 680-700bhp. I&#8217;m personally hoping this happens because I love the 599 and a sexy upgrade won&#8217;t hurt it!</p>
<p>Coming to the numbers; the 599 GTO should see a 20-25% increase in price from the standard and may just have a release date as early as October of 2010. If the price isn&#8217;t a problem, it&#8217;s availability might be so get ready to fight for her. If you power on through those anxious buyers you may be a proud owner of a 500 unit limited edition beast!</p>

<h3>The greatest serial killer in history has never been named. But what if we are looking in the wrong place?</h3>
<p><a href="http://the44diaries.wordpress.com/2009/11/19/44-ds-true-crime-discovery-channels-jack-the-ripper-in-america/jacktheripper5/" rel="attachment wp-att-14492"><img src="http://the44diaries.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/jacktheripper5.jpg" alt="" title="jacktheripper5" width="490" height="270" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-14492" /></a><br />
In 1888, a deranged killer stalked his prey on the streets of east London at night. After 121 years since the murder and mutilation of at least five prostitutes, the case remains unsolved and the true identity of Jack the Ripper has never been known. The world’s greatest criminal investigators have focused on searching for answers in London. However, in the 1890s a series of horrific murders took place across the United States in New York, San Francisco, Galveston and Atlanta, that mirrored the attacks in attacks in the UK. In this one hour special, Discovery Channel&#8217;s viewers will witness the new evidence, science and analytical techniques being used to reveal the true identity of Jack the Ripper.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_14547" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://the44diaries.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/picture-6.png?w=200" alt="NYPD Cold Case Detective Ed Norris" title="Picture 6" width="200" height="108" class="size-medium wp-image-14547" /><p class="wp-caption-text">NYPD Cold Case Detective Ed Norris</p></div>The Discovery Channel&#8217;s documentary, <em>Jack the Ripper in America</em> focuses on Detective Ed Norris, former head of the NYPD Cold Case Unit, who investigates and uncovers new evidence not seen since the time of the murders.  In trying to solve the 118 year old murder of New York prostitute <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrie_Brown_%28murder_victim%29">Carrie Brown</a>, he begins to note the similarities between her murder and the famous Whitechapel murders in London. Brown&#8217;s murderer had a three-stage MO <em>(strangled, penetrating wound, pulled apart)</em> Because of the unusual and gruesome nature of the crime, the press of the day, immediately began asking the question, &#8220;<em>Is Jack the Ripper in New York</em>&#8220;.  Norris sees the same unusual &#8216;<em>signature</em>&#8216; in both the London and New York killers.  They both kill prostitutes by strangling, cutting the throat, and eviscerating the body.  For Norris this indicates that he might be looking at the same killer. </p>

<p><div id="attachment_14782" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 153px"><img src="http://the44diaries.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/carriebrown.png" alt="Carrie Brown aka Old Shakespeare" title="carriebrown" width="143" height="193" class="size-full wp-image-14782" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Carrie Brown aka Old Shakespeare</p></div>The key in all cold cases is finding the clues missed by the original investigators.  Although, Brown was murdered on April 23, 1891, Norris decides to let a new set of eyes look at the evidence.  Enter <a href="http://www.jonathanhayes.com/intro.html">Dr. Jonathan Hayes</a>, the Manhattan Senior Medical Examiner.  Dr. Hayes combs through the autopsy report of Carry Brown.  He reaches some interesting conclusions,  including a special marking on the body, which I won&#8217;t reveal here, you&#8217;ll have to <em>watch the show</em>.  On August 7th, 1891, another unidentified prostitute is murdered with the same MO as Brown, and pulled from the East river.  Visiting the New York <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_municipal_archive">Municipal Archives</a>, Norris finds that the old newspapers of that time, reveal another shocking detail.  The killer actually wrote to the NYPD, <strong>before</strong> the murder of Carry Brown.  His letter is recreated below:</p>
<blockquote><p>
<em>Capt. Ryan,</p>
<p>You think that &#8220;Jack the Ripper&#8221; is in England, but he is not, I am right here and I expect to kill somebody by Thursday next, and so get ready for me with your pistols, but I have a knife that has done more than your pistols.  Next thing you will hear of some woman dead.</p>
<p>Yours truly,</p>
<p>Jack the Ripper</em>
</p></blockquote>
<p><div id="attachment_14643" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 108px"><a href="http://www.jack-the-ripper-tour.com/"><img src="http://the44diaries.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/richard-jones.jpg?w=98" alt="" title="Richard Jones" width="98" height="150" class="size-medium wp-image-14643" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Richard Jones</p></div>Detective Norris wants to get into Jack&#8217;s head, and walk in his foot steps.  He feels that he was an organized killer that took advantage of the conditions of the time: no ambient street lighting, a black curtain of smoke over the city caused by burning low quality coal, and counting on his victims to naturally take him to the dark, secluded places used in the prostitution trade.  Norris takes viewers through a summary of the Ripper murders by using  re-enactments and walking through the crime scenes.   Next, Norris consults London historian Richard Jones, owner of <a href="http://www.jack-the-ripper-tour.com/">Ripper Walking Tours</a> and author of <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Uncovering-Rippers-London-Richard-Jones/dp/1845376110/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1258433473&#38;sr=8-1">Uncovering Jack the Ripper&#8217;s London</a></em>.  Jones has spent more than two decades investigating the Whitechapel murders.  He asks Jones if any of the serious Ripper suspects had ever traveled to the United States after the death of Mary Kelly.    Jones provided him with three names:    <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_proposed_Jack_the_Ripper_suspects">Severin Klosowski</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_proposed_Jack_the_Ripper_suspects">Francis Tumblety</a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_proposed_Jack_the_Ripper_suspects">James Kelly</a>.<br />

Kurtz had successfully worked on the <em>Son of Sam</em> case among many others.   After reviewing samples of the Ripper&#8217;s hand writing, Kurtz identified  the writer as a very disturbed individual, who she said, &#8220;<em>I wouldn&#8217;t want to be in his company</em>&#8220;.    For additional details on her analysis please visit her <a href="http://handwritingdetective.blogspot.com/">blog</a>.  The graphic to the left shows the letter was purportedly written in 1888 by Jack the Ripper. </p>
<p><div id="attachment_14716" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 113px"><img src="http://the44diaries.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/drthomasbond.jpg?w=103" alt="Dr Thomas Bond" title="Drthomasbond" width="103" height="150" class="size-medium wp-image-14716" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Dr. Thomas Bond</p></div>Norris then paid a visit to Britain&#8217;s <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_National_Archives">National Archives</a>.  The archives hold thousands of original documents in the Ripper case.  There, Norris discovers a document not previously used in the investigation.  <em>A profile of the killer.</em>  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Robert_Anderson">Sir Robert Anderson</a>, the head of the police Criminal Investigation Departments, asked <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Bond_%28British_physician%29">Dr Thomas Bond</a>, Britain&#8217;s top police surgeon in 1888 to examine material connected with the Whitechapel murder investigation.  Bond wrote a 19th-century version of a modern day unsub profile, based on personally examining the body of Mary Kelly and reading the autopsy reports on the first four victims.  In the report, he describes in detail the type of person they should be investigating.   Dr. Bond was sure that all five women had been killed by the same hand,  because the throats of all victims had been cut in a similar way and the victims were presumably lying down when murdered.   (<em>for additional details on Dr. Bond&#8217;s profile, click <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Bond_%28British_physician%29">here to read the report</a></em>)  Norris ultimately uses this 121 year old profile to narrow the three suspects down to one name.  <em>James Kelly.</em> In the world of police parlance, Norris says that &#8220;<em>Kelly looks good</em>&#8220;.     </p>
<p><div id="attachment_14564" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://the44diaries.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/j-ack_12.jpg?w=200" alt="Jack the Ripper victims" title="j.ack_12" width="200" height="142" class="size-medium wp-image-14564" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Jack the Ripper victims:  Polly Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catharine Eddowes, Mary Kelly</p></div>In 1883, James Kelly only one month married, argues with his wife and accuses her of being unfaithful. In a psychotic rage, he uses the methods of strangulation and throat slashing to kill her.  Kelly is caught, convicted and sentenced to die by hanging.  Then his employer comes forward and explains that he believes Kelly is mentally disturbed.  Kelly was then examined by a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alienist">alienist</a> and committed to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadmoor_Hospital">Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum</a>.  Kelly&#8217;s psychiatric report has been sealed for over 125 years, until Norris examines it.  </p>
<p><div id="attachment_14731" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://the44diaries.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/broadmooroldgate.jpg?w=200" alt="Broadmoor Old Gate" title="BroadmoorOldGate" width="200" height="112" class="size-medium wp-image-14731" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum</p></div>In 1863, Broadmoor was the first custom-built asylum to house criminal lunatics.  In Broadmoor, Kelly is a outwardly a model prisoner, but at the same time he is secretly planning his escape.  Working in the asylum&#8217;s carpentry shop, he cunningly uses a piece of medal he carved into a key to aid his escape.  In January of 1888, Kelly escaped and just disappeared.  At that time a series of stabbings and slashing attacks of women start in London. Three victims:  <a href="http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/Jack_the_Ripper">Annie Millwood</a>, (February 25, 1888, stabbed repeatedly, but survived), <a href="http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/Jack_the_Ripper">Ada Wilson</a>, (March 28, 1888, slashed in the throat, but survived), and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martha_Tabram">Martha Tabram</a>, (August 7, 1888, stabbed 23 times, did not survive).  Norris feels these are the early attempts of Jack the Ripper, who like many serial killers,  escalates and only gets more brutal over time.  After these three attacks, the first London Ripper murder occurs.  Surprisingly, Kelly was once considered a suspect by London police, but after only minimal  checking at his old residence, they simply gave up, and were never able to find him.  With the huge amount of pressure they were under, the case against Kelly went cold&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://the44diaries.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/blank.gif" alt="blank" title="blank" width="1" height="1" class="alignright size-full wp-image-6440" /><br />
<img src="http://the44diaries.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/picture-2.png?w=200" alt="" title="Picture 2" width="200" height="110" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-14751" />Astonishingly, in 1927&#8230;<em>forty years later</em>, a much older Kelly voluntarily returns to the insane asylum and began to chronicle his travels.  A typed copy of Kelly&#8217;s confession letter survives in the National Archives, and Norris is the first detective to read it.  In the letter, Kelly describes having &#8220;<em>problems dealing with society</em>&#8220;, and being &#8220;<em>overtaken with feelings of envy, jealousy, and malice</em>&#8220;.  Kelly states, &#8220;<em>the thing has been hard because of all kinds of &#8217;skank&#8217;</em>&#8221;  (a term he uses to  refers to women of low moral character) and  &#8220;<em>I&#8217;ve been on the warpath since I left Broadmoor Asylum</em>.&#8221;  Also in his letter, he admits to traveling to London after his escape, and more interestingly he tells of traveling to the United States and arriving in New York conveniently before the Carrie Brown murder. He was by profession, a trained upholsterer, and would have known quiet a bit about knives and how to use them effectively for the purpose of murder.  Kelly also mentioned traveling to many cities in the US before returning to England and admitted that he came to the US many times over a period of 40 years.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_14744" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://the44diaries.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/zaandam11882.jpg?w=200" alt="" title="Zaandam11882" width="200" height="103" class="size-medium wp-image-14744" /><p class="wp-caption-text">USS Zaandam</p></div>First Norris wanted to check to make sure that Kelly&#8217;s confession matched up with actual travel records of the day.  In Britain&#8217;s <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Maritime_Museum">National Maritime Museum</a>, they kept track of every ship that came to the United States.  Kelly said he traveled to America aboard an Anglo-German steamer named the <em>Zaandam</em> that sailed from Rotterdam to New York. At the museum, Norris not only confirmed the ship existed, but that it sailed from Rotterdam to New York on October 7, 1890—two years after the last Ripper murder in London (11/88) and months before the April 23, 1891 murder of Carrie Brown in New York.  You might be thinking, &#8220;<em>How does a &#8216;wanted man&#8217; get into the United States without detection</em>?&#8221;  Professor Dan Citrum is an expert in 19th-century immigration and explains how easily it could have been done.  Remember this was before Ellis Island was established, so getting in and out of the country was very easy.  No drivers licenses, no passports, and no photo id whatsoever.  Many people back then,  came to this country to start over, and remake themselves and get lost in the huge crowds of New York city.  In his confession, Kelly admits to changing his name once his ship arrives to &#8216;<em>John Miller</em>&#8216;, one of the most common names both then and now.  Kelly used his new name like a disguise to blend in and escape police scrutiny.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://the44diaries.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/4648_us_sc3.jpg?w=200" alt="" title="4648_us_sc3" width="200" height="150" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-14575" />Knowing from experience that many serial killers travel extensively, to avoid detection, Detective Norris  plots the cities Kelly claims to have visited against the murders written about in the newspapers.  He  begins to see similarities in Ripper-like murders committed in other cities:  New York NY, Trenton, NJ, Galveston, TX,  New Orleans, LA, Philadelphia, PA, Baltimore, MD, Jackson, CA, San Francisco, CA, Denver, CO.  Each of these murders occurred during the time that Kelly, thorough his confession letter, said he was in that city.  Even the city newspapers asked the same question &#8220;<em>Is this the work of Jack the Ripper</em>&#8221; and &#8220;<em>Is this the fiend of Whitechapel</em>?&#8221; and &#8220;<em>Has Jack the Ripper Invaded Texas at Last</em>&#8220;.  Detective Norris identified twelve murders across five states in just four years&#8230;and remember, Kelly was gone for <em>forty years</em>&#8230;you can do the math. To read an amazing collection of news reports, please visit <a href="http://casebook.org/press_reports/"><em>Casebook: Jack the Ripper</em></a>.<br />

<img src="http://the44diaries.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/picture-5.png?w=200" alt="" title="Picture 5" width="200" height="108" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-14567" />Using a asylum photo of Kelly provided by the National Archives, he was able to see what Kelly looked like at age 67.   Norris then contacted Steve Mancusi, a NYPD senior forensic artist who has helped solve the most difficult cases for the last 30 years.  He wanted Mancusi to use forensic imaging technology normally used for <em>age-progression</em> in missing child cases, but with this case,  he wanted him to <em>reverse</em> the effects of aging, to show what Kelly would have looked like in his 30&#8217;s.  The striking illustration below on the right is based on their findings.<br />
<br />
    <img src="http://the44diaries.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/blank.gif" alt="blank" title="blank" width="1" height="1" class="alignright size-full wp-image-6440" /></p>
<h3>Both illustrations of Jack the Ripper</h3>
<p>
<img src="http://the44diaries.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/picture-1.png?w=300" alt="" title="Picture 1" width="300" height="181" class="alignleft size-large wp-image-14542" />The left composite, was drawn based on 118 year old eye-witness accounts of Jack the Ripper in London. They examined different witness statements and used modern day forensics to come up with a portrait of the killer, even indicating what type of hat he wore. </p>
<p>The drawing on the right, is the result of Mancusi shaving 40 years off of James Kelly&#8217;s photo at age 67. As you can see, once they added the type of hat mentioned by eye witnesses, the drawings are a very close match.  </p>
<p>In the end, there is no doubt in Norris&#8217; mind that he has found Jack the Ripper.  We may never know.  John Kelly died of natural causes in 1929 inside Broadmoor Asylum and took his secrets to his grave.  In my opinion, <em>Jack the Ripper in America</em> was very well done and is a must-see for all forensic buffs and amateur Ripperologists.  I&#8217;m interested in seeing further research, analysis and discussion of Norris&#8217; theory. <em>Regarding any factual errors in this post, I apologize in advance, and encourage everyone to let me know what needs to be corrected.</em></p>
<blockquote><h3><em>Time After Time</em></h3>
<p><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080025/plotsummary"><img src="http://the44diaries.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/timeaftertime.jpg" alt="" title="timeaftertime" width="97" height="140" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-14570" /></a>On a lighter note, anybody remember the movie &#8220;<em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080025/plotsummary">Time After Time</a></em>&#8221; starring Malcolm McDowell, John Warner and Mary Steenburgen?  McDowell played H.G. Wells, who uses his time machine to chase his friend, Warner (aka Jack the Ripper) through the streets of modern day (1979) San Francisco.  After watching Norris&#8217; documentary, maybe Hollywood&#8217;s silly (but entertaining) version of the Ripper story had a sliver of truth to it after all.  <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p></blockquote>

A iniciativa tem o objetivo de fortalecer a infraestrutura de capacitação de recursos humanos, concentrando massa crítica qualificada; pesquisadores, professores, tecnólogos, técnicos de nível médio, operários especializados, estruturas de ensino e pesquisa.</p>
<p>Para o vice-governador, investimentos na área de capacitação e aprendizagem são sempre indispensáveis e fundamentais. “Os investimentos do Estado em Teófilo Otoni são sempre em dobro para as regiões do Mucuri e do Jequitinhonha. Somente em Teófilo Otoni, a <a href="http://www.copasa.com.br/" target="_blank">Copasa</a> está investindo R$ 90 milhões para obras de saneamento. As assinaturas de convênios realizadas hoje demonstram o desenvolvimento integrado de Minas Gerais. É por isso que o Governo de Minas é reconhecido como o melhor do país”, ressaltou.</p>
<p>Além da consolidação da plataforma Polos de Inovação, os investimentos também serão destinados ao acordo entre o Governo e a Prefeitura de Teófilo Otoni para a realização de projetos estruturadores de qualificação profissional, formação de recursos humanos, pesquisa e inovação. Beneficiará, também, as ações do projeto Usina do Trabalho, viabilizará a consolidação e operacionalização da Unidade de Inovação Tecnológica (Unit), vai favorecer o desenvolvimento regional com a adesão de ações do projeto Integraminas, além de dar qualificação a jovens empreendedores para atuarem na rede social por meio do Projeto Teia &#8211; Tecnologia, Empreendedorismo e Inovação Aplicados.</p>
<p>Anastasia também autorizou a assinatura do protocolo de intenções que visa à cooperação e à conjugação de esforços para a implantação do Centro Tecnológico de Pesquisa e Transferência de Tecnologia do Mucuri, com sede em Teófilo Otoni. Além disso, entregou certificados da capacitação presencial do projeto Jovens Empreendedores do Polo de Inovação do Vale do Mucuri.</p>
<p>“Aos jovens que aqui estão, meus parabéns pelo investimento no futuro e no progresso de vocês. Para mudar a realidade, é preciso capacitar as pessoas e dar oportunidades. O futuro da humanidade, do país, de Minas Gerais, e dos Vales do Mucuri e Jequitinhonha é o conhecimento, especialmente em ciência e tecnologia. Estamos honrando os ideais do símbolo de nossa bandeira, o triângulo, que representa prosperidade, justiça social e conhecimento”, disse o vice-governador.</p>
<p>Antecedendo à solenidade, o vice-governador visitou as instalações da Unit, onde conheceu as atividades realizadas nos núcleos de produção-escola de joalheria e lapidação, no laboratório gemológico e no núcleo de informação e treinamento. Os representantes da unidade apresentaram as atividades a Anastasia, explicando-lhe o atual contexto da produção e comercialização de pedras preciosas no Estado. A Unit foi criada para inovação dos processos, maquinários, ferramentas e insumos buscando o diferencial para as joias produzidas em Teófilo Otoni. As novas linhas de produto contam com design com identidade regional e qualidade certificada.</p>
<p><strong>Inauguração UAI</strong><br />
