[Factivist banner.jpg] Donald Trump decided to visit New Jersey on Thursday night to help bail out Gov. Chris Christie's half a million in legal fees related to the Bridgegate scandal. He got an earful from New Jerseyans who are fed up with Gov. Christie's bully shtick, and Trump's divisive politics. See below: The scene at Donald Trump's N.J. rally? Red hats and protests- NJ.com [ The protesters outside said Trump goes against the values of the diverse, largely Democratic state. "Some of their signs read: "No hate in the Garden State." "I love us too much to let Trump win." "You can't comb over bigotry." Jeff Tittel, director of the New Jersey chapter of environmental group the Sierra Club, said he finds it ironic that Christie is raising money for his unsuccessful campaign when it was revealed this week that New Jersey's budget is facing a shortfall. WATCH: Hundreds protest Trump outside rally - Asbury Park Press [Veterans Jake Maier of Stirling, NJ and Perry O'Brien] The anti-Donald Trump rally in a leafy park across the street from the New Jersey National Guard Armory where he spoke Thursday evening had a carnival-like feel. The hundreds of protesters came from all walks of life and represented a myriad of interests. These Democrats aren't happy about Trump's N.J. visit- NJ.com A coalition of Democratic state lawmakers - including state Senate President Stephen Sweeney - and a pair of advocacy groups are condemning Donald Trump's visit to New Jersey on Thursday. The group said Trump, the likely Republican presidential nominee, is bringing intolerance to a diverse state as he appears at a private fundraiser for the state GOP and hosts a rally in Lawrenceville with Gov. Chris Christie, a fellow Republican and ally. Protesters greet Trump rally for Christie - Press of Atlantic City [ Protesters are enlivening a rally held in New Jersey by presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump to help Gov. Chris Christie pay off the debt Christie incurred running for president. Democratic Senators Criticize Trump's Visit to NJ - PolitikerNJ Ahead of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's Thursday visit to New Jersey, Democratic senators and advocacy groups are standing together to condemn the appearance of Trump in the Garden State. Senate President Steve Sweeney, Senator M. Teresa Ruiz, Senator Nellie Pou, Senator Nilsa Cruz-Perez, the Latino Action Network and the NAACP released a statement opposing Trump's visit to Lawrenceville for a rally and fundraiser. Donald Trump fund-raises for Chris Christie, mocks his weight - NY Daily News Despite Trump trumpeting Christie's accomplishments to his own constituents, the former candidate - whose term ends after the 2017 election - may get a better reception outside his home state. Hundreds of protesters demonstrated outside Thursday's rally, according to NJ.com, holding signs such as one telling the Christie-Trump duo, "Bruce Springsteen hates both of you." Photos: Protest at Trump and Christie Event in Lawrenceville Attracts Several Hundred People - Planet Princeton About 500 people attended a rally in Lawrenceville Thursday to protest presidential candidate Donald Trump's visit to the National Guard Armory. Protestors chanted slogans on and off for a few hours, including chants like "Dump Christie, dump Trump," "Hate won't make us great," and "Choose love, not hate."

Do we want to give Mike Allen some more dates for a possible Playbook breakfast with DWS? When we couldn't do a joint one last time with Reince, he just had Reince on solo. Not sure Mike would be interested in doing her as a solo guest but I can always ask. That said, is there any news we want to make? Mike will certainly push hard for her to create a headline or two. If DWS definitely wants to do it, we should try to line up an event now before we need to get approval from the campaign for things like this.

Ed Begin forwarded message: From: edwardcook Date: March 15, 2006 7:23:23 PM GMT+07:00 To: "Kraucunas, Ian" Cc: edwardcook , [4]g-north@tamu.edu, [5]ottobli@ucar.edu Subject: Comment on NRC Workshop Ian Kraucunas, Ph.D. Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate National Research Council of The National Academies 500 Fifth Street NW, Keck 705 Washington, DC 20001 Dear Dr. Kraucunas, I request that this document (also attached as Cook_NRC.pdf) and the attached scientific paper (2001_Cook_QSR.pdf) be forwarded to all NRC committee members who participated in the recent NRC workshop "Surface Temperature Reconstructions for the Past 2,000 Years: Synthesis of Current Understanding and Challenges for the Future", ideally with a cc to me when this is done. I have heard via emails and telephone conversations about a serious concern raised about tree rings by some committee members and invited participants at the NRC workshop. This concern could have an unfairly negative impact on the use of tree rings for reconstructing past climate, especially that related to surface air temperatures, hence my letter to you and the committee. As part of her talk, Dr. Rosanne D'Arrigo mentioned the discovery of "divergence" between instrumental temperatures and tree growth during the last few decades of the 20th century at selected boreal sites in the Northern Hemisphere. The affected trees systematically under-responded to increasing temperatures, i.e. they grew more slowly than they should have based on a well-fitted linear response model applied to the data prior to the onset of "divergence". The large-scale occurrence of this change in responsiveness has also been described by Keith Briffa (Briffa et al., 1998) in Nature. A number of hypotheses have been proposed to explain it, which range from natural (climatic change) to anthropogenic (pollution related), but the actual cause is still unknown. This phenomenon needed to be mentioned by Dr. D'Arrigo, but it appears to have taken on a level of specious importance that is not justified by the evidence. Perhaps not surprisingly, but also somewhat alarmingly, it is my understanding that some NRC committee members and other influential participants have come to the conclusion that the observed 20th century "divergence" calls into serious question the value of the tree-ring reconstructions of temperatures over the past millennium. The implicit assumption apparently being made is that the "divergence" being caused by environmental conditions in the 20th century could have also prevailed back during times like the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) some 800-1000 years in the past. If this were the case, then the concern raised by some at the workshop would be justified. However, the available evidence does not support such a conclusion. In a paper I published in Quaternary Science Reviews in 2004 (Cook et al., 2004), I reviewed the properties and interpretation of the tree-ring data used in the Esper et al. (2002) paper published in Science. The reasonably well distributed set of tree-ring data in both boreal and more temperate latitude sites around the Northern Hemisphere allowed me to split up the data into sub-regional ensembles, including 8 sites in the 55-70° north band and 6 sites in the 30-55° south band. The purpose was to demonstrate the overall robustness of the multi-centennial temperature signal in the tree-ring data. This plot from the QSR paper is embedded below and the paper is sent being sent as an attachment. The importance of this plot to the "divergence" debate follows next. In their paper, Briffa et al. (1998) showed that the "divergence" between tree growth and temperatures was largely restricted to the region covered by the north band described in Cook et al. (2004). Consistent with that finding, the north ensemble mean shown below (blue curve) reveals a serious downturn in growth after about 1950. This is an expression of the large-scale "divergence" described by Briffa et al. (1998) and also by Dr. D'Arrigo in her NRC talk. In contrast, the south ensemble mean (red curve) shows the opposite growth trajectory after 1950, i.e. a substantial growth increase that is much more consistent with 20th century warming. If one then follows the plots back in time, all sub-region ensemble means track each other remarkably well at multi-centennial time scales even when they enter the putative MWP 800-1000 years ago. In fact, at no time prior to the 20th century is there a separation between north and south that is at all comparable to that found after 1950. This result indicates that no large-scale "divergence" of the order found during the 20th century occurred during the MWP even though that period is suggested to have been somewhat warmer than average overall. It thus refutes the argument that "divergence" of the kind found in the 20th century could very well have happened in the past, thus implying that tree rings cannot produce reliable reconstructions of past temperatures. It also supports the existence of an admittedly unknown anthropogenic cause of the 20th century "divergence". The lack of any known cause is unfortunate, but this would be true regardless of how the importance of "divergence" is interpreted. I am not aware of ANY evidence that demonstrates the occurrence of large-scale "divergence" between tree growth and climate prior to the 20th century. Indeed, the available evidence indicates just the opposite. In my opinion it is therefore unjustified to call into question the use of tree rings for reconstructing temperatures over the past millennium based on a naïve and inappropriate extrapolation of the growth "divergence" problem into the past when it appears to be unique to the 20th century. The NRC committee members must consider this in their report if it is to have the necessary scientific credibility that is expected of it.

Thanks for your response Keith, For all: Walked into this hornet's nest this morning! Keith and Phil have both raised some very good points. And I should point out that Chris, through no fault of his own, but probably through ME not conveying my thoughts very clearly to the others, definitely overstates any singular confidence I have in my own (Mann et al) series. I believe strongly that the strength in our discussion will be the fact that certain key features of past climate estimates are robust among a number of quasi-independent and truly independent estimates, each of which is not without its own limitations and potential biases. And I certainly don't want to abuse my lead authorship by advocating my own work. I am perfectly amenable to keeping Keith's series in the plot, and can ask Ian Macadam (Chris?) to add it to the plot he has been preparing (nobody liked my own color/plotting conventions so I've given up doing this myself). The key thing is making sure the series are vertically aligned in a reasonable way. I had been using the entire 20th century, but in the case of Keith's, we need to align the first half of the 20th century w/ the corresponding mean values of the other series, due to the late 20th century decline. So if Chris and Tom (?) are ok with this, I would be happy to add Keith's series. That having been said, it does raise a conundrum: We demonstrate (through comparining an exatropical averaging of our nothern hemisphere patterns with Phil's more extratropical series) that the major discrepancies between Phil's and our series can be explained in terms of spatial sampling/latitudinal emphasis (seasonality seems to be secondary here, but probably explains much of the residual differences). But that explanation certainly can't rectify why Keith's series, which has similar seasonality *and* latitudinal emphasis to Phil's series, differs in large part in exactly the opposite direction that Phil's does from ours. This is the problem we all picked up on (everyone in the room at IPCC was in agreement that this was a problem and a potential distraction/detraction from the reasonably concensus viewpoint we'd like to show w/ the Jones et al and Mann et al series. So, if we show Keith's series in this plot, we have to comment that "something else" is responsible for the discrepancies in this case. Perhaps Keith can help us out a bit by explaining the processing that went into the series and the potential factors that might lead to it being "warmer" than the Jones et al and Mann et al series?? We would need to put in a few words in this regard. Otherwise, the skeptics have an field day casting doubt on our ability to understand the factors that influence these estimates and, thus, can undermine faith in the paleoestimates. I don't think that doubt is scientifically justified, and I'd hate to be the one to have to give it fodder! The recent Crowley and Lowery multiproxy estimate is an important additional piece of information which I have indeed incorporated into the revised draft. Tom actually estimates the same mean warming since the 17th century in his reconstruction, that we estimate in ours, so it is an added piece of information that Phil and I are probably in the ballpark (Tom has used a somewhat independent set of high and low-resolution proxy data and a very basic compositing methodology, similar to Bradley and Jones, so there is some independent new information in this estimate. One other key result with respect to our own work is from a paper in the press in "Earth Interactions". An unofficial version is available here: THe key point we emphasize in this paper is that the low-frequency variability in our hemispheric temperature reconstruction is basically the same if we don't use any dendroclimatic indicators at all (though we certainly resolve less variance, can't get a skillful reconstruction as far back, and there are notable discrepancies at the decadal and interannual timescales). A believe I need to add a sentence to the current discussion on this point, since there is an unsubstantiated knee-jerk belief that our low-frequency variability is suppressed by the use of tree ring data. We have shown that this is not the case: (see here: and specifically, the plot and discussion here: Ironically, you'll note that there is more low-frequency variability when the tree ring data *are* used, then when only other proxy and historical/instrumental data are used! SO I think we're in the position to say/resolve somewhat more than, frankly, than Keith does, about the temperature history of the past millennium. And the issues I've spelled out all have to be dealt with in the chapter. One last point: We will (like it or not) have SUBSTANTIAL opportunity/requirement to revise much of this discussion after review, so we don't have to resolve everything now. Just the big picture and the important details... I'm sure we can can up with an arrangement that is amenable to all, and I'm looking forward to hearing back from Keith, Phil, and Chris in particular about the above, so we can quickly move towards finalizing a first draft.

My take "Well, that was awkward. Paul Ryan - the highest-ranking Republican in the country, and chair of the Republican National Convention - just said he can't support Dangerous Donald Trump's nomination for president. Even Ryan recognizes that Trump's dangerous rhetoric is about to start poisoning down-ballot races, including his own in Wisconsin. But he and his fellow House Republicans have no one to blame but themselves: they paved the way for the GOP to become the party of Trump with their own extreme rhetoric, divisive policies, and obstruction. But bring a hazmat suit if you're one of the remaining Republican leaders still planning to stand with your nominee - Trump has gone radioactive."

Congrats, in the end... > "If they didn't have Max, they might have succumbed, because PayPal was > susceptible to fraud and money laundering, and Max tightened them up," Secure and at ease By Jack Mccarthy August 30, 2002 1:01 pm PT MAX LEVCHIN'S FASCINATION with encryption started when he was a teenager in Kiev, Ukraine, and continued as he immigrated to the United States where he attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In late 1998, not two years out of college, he drew on his passion to co-found PayPal, the online payment system that has since attracted tens of millions of users and gained the reputation as the premier Internet transaction processor. Now online auction house eBay has acquired his company for a king's ransom. Not bad for a 27-year-old kid from Ukraine. A programmer since he was 10 years old, Levchin and his family moved to Chicago in 1991, and since then he has pursued security as if on a mission. He created a startup right out of college to build secure passwords for Palm Pilots. He met Peter Thiel, and the two founded PayPal to target online payment security. Thiel is now CEO of the company. "This company was founded on the notion of security value," Levchin says. "Peter Thiel and I shared that vision from the very beginning." Thiel concentrates on company business matters, whereas Levchin remains focused on security, which he says is the key to the company's good fortune. "I explain [PayPal] as a security company posing as a transaction processor," Levchin says. "We spend a lot of time designing security so it doesn't step on the toes of convenience and not the other way around. The trade-off is fundamental." Mountain View, Calif.-based PayPal allows businesses and consumers with e-mail addresses to send and receive payments via the Internet, accepting credit card or bank account payments for purchases. The service extends to 38 countries, with more than 17 million users and more than 3 million business accounts. Most of PayPal's users are participants in online auctions, which led PayPal to be closely linked with eBay, the leading Web auction site. Although they were once rivals, the relationship between the two companies resulted July 8 in eBay's tentative $1.5 billion acquisition of PayPal. The agreement is subject to regulatory review. Levchin says he will stay at PayPal as it merges with eBay. "There are areas of synergy and collaboration we can explore." Although security is a dominant feature for PayPal, the company's ability to carry out open communications among the millions of participants fits the growing Web services model, Levchin says. "This is a service that links people and allows them to send messages to one another," he says. Levchin is a panelist at InfoWorld's Next-Generation Web Services II conference Sept. 20 PayPal, as an online payment system, is a natural target for fraud. And Levchin has almost singlehandedly saved the company from thieves bent on exploiting the system, says Avivah Litan, a vice president and analyst covering financial services at Stamford, Conn.-based Gartner. "If they didn't have Max, they might have succumbed, because PayPal was susceptible to fraud and money laundering, and Max tightened them up," Litan says. To combat criminals, Levchin established "Igor," an antifraud program that monitors transactions and warns of suspicious accounts. Levchin says building security and antifraud systems is a job he relishes. "The work I do is important to PayPal and to consumers in general because the work makes Internet shopping safe. It's the view that ecommerce has arrived."


Kevin/Susan, I'll look over 3.9. A quick look at the back references to sections which contain the detail summarized here, suggests that you've got the right level of section. I guess we could add a sentence to say that this/these are the principal section(s), but the whole of the x.x section is likely also relevant. I've added Susan in to show what we're doing. It might be appropriate for other chapters. Part of my reason was traceability, but also we are referring to subsequent sections in Chapters 4 and 5. The figures seem to be coming along well. Pdfs are also. I'll send another reminder about these out later today, when I've had one last look for a few of them. I'll attach section numbers as there are so few now. Cheers Phil The bulletted points and back references are below. · Global-mean surface temperatures show overall warming of 0.75ºC over the 19012004 period although rates of temperature rise are much greater after 1979. Both land surface air temperatures and SST show warming although land regions have warmed at a faster rate than the oceans for both hemispheres in the past few decades, consistent with the much greater mass and thermal inertia of the oceans. Some areas have not warmed in recent decades, and a few have cooled although not significantly. [3.2.2] · The warming of the climate is consistent with a widespread reduction in the number of frost days in mid-latitude regions. The latter is due to an earlier last day of frost in spring rather than a later start to the frost season in autumn. The increase in the number of daily warm extremes and reduction in cold extremes across over 70% of land regions studied have been most marked at night over the 1951-2003 period. The greater increase in nighttime as opposed to daytime temperatures has continued. [3.8.2.1] · Widespread (but not ubiquitous) decreases in continental DTR since the 1950s occur with increases in cloud amounts, as expected from the impact of cloud cover on solar heating of the surface. [3.2.2; 3.4.3] · The temperature increases are consistent with the observed nearly worldwide reduction in mountain glacier mass and extent. A few regions of the world where mountain glacier termini are determined by winter precipitation totals, as opposed to summer temperatures, do show some advances, but these are consistent with changes in circulation and associated increases in winter precipitation (e.g., southwestern Norway, parts of coastal Alaska, southern Chile and Fjordland of the South Island of New Zealand). Tropical ice caps in South America, Africa and Tibet have all shown remarkable declines in recent decades. If continued, some may disappear within the next 30 years. Reduction in mass of such glaciers depends on local heat budgets, which is not necessarily reflected in local temperature changes. The temperature records all show a slight warming, but nowhere near the magnitude required to explain the rapid demise of the many of the ice caps. [4.5] · Snow cover has decreased in many NH regions, particularly in the spring season, consistent with greater increases in spring as opposed to autumn temperatures in mid-latitude regions. The decrease is accompanied by increased active layer thickness above permafrost and decreased seasonally frozen ground depths. [3.3.2.3; 4.2.4, 4.8] · Sea-ice extents have decreased in the Arctic, particularly in the spring and summer seasons, and patterns of the changes are consistent with regions showing a temperature increase, although changes in winds are also a major factor. Decreases are found in the length of the freeze season of river and lake ice. [3.2.2.3; 4.3, 4.4, 5.3.3] · Surface temperature variability and trends since 1979 are consistent with those estimated by most analyses of satellite retrievals of lower-tropospheric temperatures, provided the latter are adequately adjusted for all issues of satellite drift, orbit decay, different satellites and stratospheric influence on the T2 records, and also with ERA-40 estimates of lower-tropospheric temperatures. The range from different datasets of global surface warming since 1979 is 0.15 to 0.18 compared to 0.12 to 0.19 K decade^-1 for MSU estimates of lower tropospheric temperatures. [3.4.1] · Stratospheric temperature estimates from radiosondes, satellites (T4) and reanalyses are in qualitative agreement recording a cooling of between 0.3 and 0.8ºC decade^-1 since 1979. Increasing evidence suggests increasing warming with altitude from 1979 to 2004 from the surface through much of the troposphere in the tropics, cooling in the stratosphere, and a higher tropopause, consistent with expectations from observed increased greenhouse gases and changes in stratospheric ozone. Over extratropical land, the larger warming at night is associated with larger surface temperature changes. [3.4.1] · Radiation changes at the top-of the atmosphere from the 1980s to 1990s, possibly ENSO related in part, appear to be associated with reductions in tropical cloud cover, and are linked to changes in the energy budget at the surface and in observed ocean heat content in a consistent way. [3.4.3; 3.4.4] · Surface specific humidity has also generally increased after 1976 in close association with higher temperatures over both land and ocean. Consistent with a warmer climate, total column water vapour has increased over the global oceans by 1.2 ± 0.3% from 1988 to 2004, consistent in patterns and amount with changes in SST and a fairly constant relative humidity. Upper tropospheric water vapour has also increased in ways such that relative humidity remains about constant, providing a major positive feedback to radiative forcing. [3.4.2] · Over land a strong negative correlation is observed between precipitation and surface temperature in summer and in low latitudes throughout the year, and areas that have become wetter, such as the eastern United States, have not warmed as much as other land areas. Increased precipitation is associated with increases in cloud and surface wetness, and thus increased evaporation. Although records are sparse, continental-scale estimates of pan evaporation show decreases, due to decreases in surface radiation associated with increases in clouds, changes in cloud properties, and increases in air pollution in different regions from 1970 to 1990. There is tentative evidence to suggest that this has reversed in recent years. The inferred enhanced evaporation and reduced temperature increase is physically consistent with enhanced latent versus sensible heat fluxes from the surface in wetter conditions. [3.3.5; 3.4.4.2] · Surface observations of cloud cover changes over land exhibit coherent variations on interannual to decadal time scales which are positively correlated with gauge-based precipitation measurements. [3.4.3] · Consistent with rising amounts of water vapour in the atmosphere, increases in the numbers of heavy precipitation events (e.g., 90/95^th percentile) have been reported from many land regions, even those where there has been a reduction in total precipitation. Increases have also been reported for rarer precipitation events (1 in 50 year return period), but only a few regions have sufficient data to assess such trends reliably. [3.4.2; 3.8.2.2] · Patterns of precipitation change are much more spatially- and seasonally-variable than temperature change, but where significant changes do occur they are consistent with measured changes in streamflow. [3.3.4] · Droughts have increased in various parts of the world. The regions where they have occurred seem to be determined largely by changes in SSTs, especially in the tropics, through changes in the atmospheric circulation and precipitation. Inferred enhanced evaporation and drying associated with warming and decreased precipitation are important factors in increases in drought. In the western United States, diminishing snow pack and subsequent summer soil moisture reductions have also been a factor. In Australia and Europe, direct links to warming have been inferred through the extreme nature of high temperatures and heat waves accompanying drought. [3.3.4, QACCS 3.3, 3.8.3, 4.x.x] · Changes in the freshwater balance of the Atlantic Ocean over the past four decades have been pronounced as freshening has occurred in the North Atlantic and also south of 25°S, while salinity has increased in the tropics and subtropics, especially in the upper 500 m. The implication is that there have been increases in moisture transport by the atmosphere from the subtropics to higher latitudes, in association with changes in atmospheric circulation, including the NAO, thereby increasing precipitation over the northern ocean and in adjacent land areas (as observed). [3.3.2, 3.3.3, 5.3.2, 5.5.3] · Changes in the large-scale atmospheric circulation are apparent. Increasing westerlies have been present in both hemispheres as enhanced annular modes. In the NH, the NAM and NAO change the flow from oceans to continents and are a major part of the wintertime observed change in storm tracks, precipitation and temperature patterns, especially over Europe and North Africa. In the SH, SAM changes, in association with the ozone hole, have been identified with recent contrasting trends of large warming in the Antarctic Peninsula, and cooling over interior Antarctica. [3.5, 3.6, 3.8.3] · The 19761977 climate shift toward more El Niños has affected Pacific rim countries and monsoons throughout the tropics. Over North America, ENSO and PNA-related changes appear to have led to contrasting changes across the continent, as the west has warmed more than the east, while the latter has become cloudier and wetter. [3.6, 3.7] · Variations in extratropical storminess are strongly associated mostly with changes in mean atmospheric circulation, such as changes and variations in ENSO, NAO, PDO, and SAM. Wind and significant wave height analysis support the reanalysis-based evidence for an increase in extratropical storm activity in the NH in recent decades. After the late 1990s, however, some of these variations seemed to change sign. [3.5, 3.6, 3.8.3.2] · Changes are observed to occur in the number, distribution and tracks of tropical storms that are clearly related to ENSO phases and to a slightly lesser extent to the AMO and QBO modulations. Increases in intensity and lifetimes of tropical storms since the 1970s are consistent with increases in SSTs and atmospheric water vapour. [3.8.3.1] · Sea level likely rose about 18±3 cm during the 20^th century, but increased 3.0±0.4 mm/year after 1992, when confidence increases from global altimetry measurements. During this period, glacier melt has increased ocean mass by order 1.0 mm/year, increases in ocean heat content and associated ocean expansion are estimated to contribute 1.6 mm/year, while changes in land water storage are uncertain but may have taken water out of the ocean. Isostatic rebound contributes about 0.3 mm/year. This near balance gives increased confidence that the observed sea level rise is a strong indicator of warming, and an integrator of the cumulative energy imbalance at the top of atmosphere.[4.5, 4.7, 4.9.8, 5.2, 5.5] At 23:47 27/07/2005, Kevin Trenberth wrote: Phil I placed new versions of the figure and text files on my ftp site. I implemented your suggestion of adding section numbers to the 3.9. I used the ones from the ZOD wrt other chapters. So they may change. I also added a small piece on freezing seasons on lakes and rivers that was mentioned in the last para but not in any bullets. You may like to comment on this as some are x.x, some are y.y.y and some are z.z.z.z. In the first case the whole section is really applicable and so mentioning each subsection does not seem worthwhile. Should we go to the z.z.z.z level, as that is not in the TOC? In doing this I found that two sections in 3.8 had very similar titles and so I changed that of 3.8.3 to explicitly say tropical and extratrtopical storms and extreme events, which are the 3 subsections. The Table of contents (TOC) is all up to date, and now corrected for one subsection that was mislabeled as level 2 instead of 3. Several figures have been revised. I am out tomorrow all day but Lisa tells me she is up to w in the references. So should have a complete new version on Friday. Hopefully several of the figures will be by upgraded then too. I have a new Fig 3.3.1 but can't work with it: something wrong with it, so I've asked Dave E for a different one. Main outstanding stuff is all waiting on Dave Easterling. I have requests in to Tom Karl on the 2 CCSP figures. Following my earlier email I have responses on Figs 3.2.3: now good, 3.4.6 I did, 3.5.2, and one from Groisman. So only 7 figures not in final form. I believe we have 74 figures in the sense that they are separate files. That includes counts of 1 for several multipanel files (like some T ones or the hurricane one), but 4 for some 4 panel ones like the ENSO one, where the files were all generated anew and independently. So the good part is that 67 of them are in great shape. We actually have 48 figures counting the 2 TAR ones that will be in 3.9, and 3 in the 3 QACCS. Cheers Kevin -- **************** Kevin E.

For Immediate Release May 12, 2016 Contact: DNC Press – 202-863-8148 Remarks from the DNC Press Call with Virginia Democrats on Voting Rights Restoration in Virginia Last month, Governor Terry McAuliffe signed an executive order restoring voting rights for more than 200,000 people with felony convictions. The Governor's actions overturned a lingering vestige of the Jim Crow laws that kept African Americans from voting, but Virginia Republicans are accusing him of "political opportunism." As our nation moves forward, it is deeply disturbing that one of the country's major political parties is attempting to drag us backward. Today, the DNC and the Virginia Democratic Party hosted a press call to discuss the restoration of voting rights for people with felony convictions in the Commonwealth and the Republicans' campaign of misinformation with Assistant Democratic Leader Congressman James Clyburn, Congressman Bobby Scott and local voting rights advocate Terry Garrett. Below find remarks from the call as prepared for delivery: Assistant Democratic Leader Rep. Jim Clyburn The right to vote is the cornerstone of democracy and the foundation upon which all other rights are built. The Voting Rights Act has been the single most important tool to protect the right to vote over the last half century until Shelby County v. Holder opened the door for underhanded schemes that reduced electoral power in communities of color. We see that clearly in states like North Carolina where one bad law reversed an entire generation of electoral progress. In Arizona, the DNC, the DSCC, the Arizona Democratic Party, and impacted voters took the extraordinary step of suing the state to correct the problems that led to five-hour lines during the presidential primary. Republican-controlled state legislatures across the country are passing restrictive voting laws, under the guise of fighting voter fraud, but they have only made it harder for groups that tend to vote Democratic – people of color, women, and students – to cast their ballots. Governor McAuliffe is doing the opposite, they are trying to make it easier to vote but Virginia Republicans are resistant to his attempts to make the Commonwealth a more fair, and inclusive society. Virginia's felony disenfranchisement law was passed to keep African-Americans from gaining political power. Make no mistake – the GOP seems to believe their path to victory lies in restricting access to the polls. So if you ask me, the real political opportunism lies with the Republican Party. It's time to close the door on these types of laws but the Republican Party is dead set on being on the wrong side of history. I have stood on the front lines of the fight for civil rights, and I applaud Governor McAuliffe for doing the right thing. Representative Bobby Scott The Virginia Republicans need to end their campaign of misinformation. Virginia Republicans have been desperately trying to paint Governor McAuliffe's executive order as "political opportunism," in order to divert attention from their defense of an overtly racist law. Yesterday, the Governor's Office released a demographic breakdown of the 200,000 people whose voting rights will now be restored. What stood out for me was that 45.9 percent of disenfranchised voters are African-Americans even though blacks only account for 19.4 percent of the Commonwealth's entire population. That clearly illustrates that the impact of this law was most keenly felt by African-Americans. Governor McAuliffe's actions are consistent with just about every other state in the Union. There's nothing partisan, unusual or suspect about restoring voting rights for people who have paid their debt to society. Denying them that right is partisan. Denying them that right is unusual given that Virginia is only one of four states that requires people with felony convictions to petition the Governor to have their voting rights restored. And denying that right is suspect given the origins of the felony disenfranchisement laws. Virginia Republicans are using every scare tactic they can dream up to attack the Governor's motivations. They claim that this gives license to rapists and murderers to sit on juries, while ignoring the fact that 79 percent of the people whose rights were restored had non-violent felonies. They also claim that this is a partisan ploy that will give Democrats the edge in November. If that's truly the case, then Republicans have been coasting into office all these years by limiting Democratic turnout. I have a challenge for the Republican Party of Virginia. I want them to prove that they are not motivated by political opportunism by repealing the Commonwealth's restrictive photo ID law, by implementing early voting, and to fully fund the replacement of our aging voting equipment. I challenge them to break down the unnecessary barriers that were erected to keep people of color away from the polls. If they are serious about protecting the integrity of our democracy then they should be willing to work with Democrats at the congressional level to restore the critical protections of the Voting Rights Act. ### To be automatically unsubscribed from this list, please email: dncrrmain-unsubscribe@dnc.org

As the newly designated Seniors press lead, below you'll find a statement for your approval. Older Americans Month starts on Sunday. For Immediate Release May 1, 2016 Contact - DNC Press 202-863-8148 DNC Chair Wasserman Schultz's Statement on Older Americans Month Washington, DC - In recognition of Older Americans Month, which begins today, DNC Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz issued the following statement: "Simply put, seniors are an incredibly important part of our country, and that's precisely why the Democratic Party has always stood with them. From passing Medicare and Medicaid to passing the Older Americans Act of 1965, our Party has a long and extensive history of advocating for the protections and retirement security that seniors deserve. And so, in my capacity as a member of Congress who represents many South Florida retired and older Americans, I have been proud to carry on that tradition by fighting for seniors' health and economic security day after day. Let there be no doubt: at a time when far too many of my Republican counterparts want to slash critical programs that seniors depend on, the Democratic Party will continue to be a champion for older Americans not just during the month of May, but every month of the year." -- Walter Garcia Western Regional Press Secretary Democratic National Committee (DNC) Email: GarciaW@dnc.org Twitter: @WalterGarcia231 [SigDems]
