Hard hitting global and local news
Should there be any mistakes the Bunny will disavow all knowledge of your actions Eli has found a new toy, a simple energy balance global climate model, which fulfills Box’s dictum that all models are wrong, but some are useful. Brought to you by the folks at Monash University the Monash Simple Climate Model is based on the Globally Resolved Energy Balance (GREB) model, which is a climate model published by Dommenget and Floeter [2011] in the international peer review science journal Climate Dynamics. The model simulates most of the main physical processes in the climate system in a very simplistic way and therefore allows very fast and simple climate model simulations on a normal PC computer. Despite its simplicity the model simulates the climate response to external forcings, such as doubling of the CO2 concentrations very realistically (similar to state of the art climate models)

His farm property was foreclosed due to his deliberate failure, from a variety of circumstances and self choice, to evade payment of his county school tax assessment.Hmmm, way back in the wake of the Columbine High School massacre, Marilyn Manson, made a very basic statement of reality

For some time now the US NIH has had a Public Access Policy, requiring that any publication supported by them be readily available at no cost to the public. However, given that many of the highest visibility journals (that means you Nature and Science and Springer) have resisted open publication, the wish has been too often honored in abstentia . A recent (November 16, 2012) change in policy pour encourager les autres may tilt the field With this Notice, NIH informs grantees that in Spring, 2013, at the earliest, NIH will delay processing of non-competing continuation grant awards if publications arising from that award are not in compliance with the NIH public access policy. The award will not be processed until recipients have demonstrated compliance . This change will take effect in tandem with NIH requiring the use of the Research Performance Progress Report (RPPRs) for all Streamlined Non-competing Award Process (SNAP) and Fellowship awards in the Spring of 2013 (see NIH NOT-OD-12-142 ). There will be a few exceptions Submitting an RPPR with a non-compliant publication will generate an automated email notifying the grantee that the progress report includes citations that are out of compliance with the public access policy and requesting a response by a specified due date two weeks prior to the next budget start date. As indicated above, no sooner than Spring, 2013, the non-competing continuation award will be delayed until a reply to the e-notification is received from the grantee with evidence of compliance or a satisfactory explanation (e.g., the sole author has passed away before they were able to process the manuscript for posting to PubMed Central).
