To Geek or Not to Geek

Brain and nose is bleeding already from reading all these books and articles.

***
Was reading the Handbook for Researchers (OVCRD, 2007) and...

The committees meet separately to evaluate research proposals within their areas of concern. The number of evaluation meetings may vary depending on the quality and number of the proposals being evaluated.

These committees evaluate the research proposal based on the following criteria:

1. Quality of Proposal - originality/novelty of ideas; scientific or artistic merit and soundness of methodology;
   
2. Timeliness and Relevance - significance to current issues/scientific or artistic domain;
3. Consonance of proposed budget with the research activities and expected output;
4. Status of proponent with the University;
5. Track record of proponent;
6. Potential of publishing a manuscript; policy and programmatic implications; technology innovation with commercial possibilities.

To geek or not to geek? That is the question.

No Climate Change (yet) in the Philippines

Reposted from http://www.co2science.org/articles/V12/N39/C2.php

What was learned
The two Asian researchers report that "the TLP has an apparent oscillation of about 32 years before 1939 and an oscillation of about 10-22 years after 1945," but that "no long-term trend is found." In addition, they determined that "natural variability related to ENSO [El Niño-Southern Oscillation] and PDO [Pacific Decadal Oscillation] phases appears to prevail in the interdecadal variability of TLP."

What it means
In response to what climate alarmists call the unprecedented global warming of the 20th century -- and about which they express the gravest concern -- the number of tropical cyclones annually making landfall in the Philippines did not experience any net change. All variability was merely oscillatory activity around a mean trend of zero slope.

It helps to have scientists in the family. Thanks A. ;-)

Now, what caused the calamity? Maybe the flood was caused by all the garbage that we irresponsibly dumped in the river... or there was just too much water from the sky. I don't really know. Fact is, people are suffering and need help.
