Scientists were expecting a big El Nio this year. So where did it go?

Vox: Back in the spring, a number of experts suggested we could see a strong El Nio in late 2014, perhaps similar to the monster event in 1997-98 that upended weather patterns across the globe. That might mean record temperatures, floods in some areas, droughts in others -- a huge deal. But in the months since, scientists have gotten a surprise: El Nio hasn't been unfolding as expected. In fact, there's a good chance it might not appear at all. The National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center...
Oil & Gas Stocks: Does This Correction Have Logic To It?

The Oil Super-majors appear to follow the S&P 500 more than they follow the oil price. Small- and mid-capitalization oil-focused E&Ps have slid further, alongside oil, with size and leverage amplifying the underperformance.
Windows 10 is great but it wont stop the PC from dying and taking Microsoft with it
2014-11-04 18:16:28| Extremetech
I've now been using Windows 10 for a month, and though it's still just an early version with lots of rough edges, I'm convinced that it's going to be a solid desktop operating system for the world's billion-odd mouse-and-keyboard users -- when they finally decide to upgrade from Windows 7 or XP, anyway. It has been slowly dawning on me, however, that Windows 10 is a lost cause; even in a best-case scenario where Microsoft delivers the finest desktop OS to ever grace humankind, there's no getting around the found that Windows 10 is an attempt to revivify a slowly dying beast. While there's always a chance that Windows 10 triggers some kind of renaissance, it's far more likely that it will be squished into ignominious oblivion by the stumbling, apathetic, and commoditized beast that the desktop PC has become.
Jakks Is Doing Well - Will It Continue?

In an article published on August 17 [The U.S. Fashion Doll Market: There Are A Few New Girls On The Block] I said that "All indications are that Jakks is turning the corner and that the new people it has brought into the organization are making a real difference. I believe that it will find ways to overcome these obstacles in the same manner and with the same zest with which it tackled the challenges that it has faced over the past year."
Australia: G20 climate change ad banned by Brisbane airport 'because it was political'
2014-11-03 06:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The board of Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC), which has two directors with interests in fossil fuel companies, says they had no influence on a decision to reject a billboard calling for action on climate change. The airports decision did not reflect any value judgement about a message aimed at world leaders arriving for the G20 summit this month, a BAC spokeswoman said, but was driven by a policy not to allow billboards with a political intent. She said neither the board nor individual directors...
