The US at risk of coercion
How will the Budget Control Act impact national security? "We will no longer be immune from coercion," said Joint Chief's Chairman General Martin Dempsey, speaking at the Aspen Security Forum. Dempsey borrowed the original quote by Creighton Edwards in 1974 to illustrate concerns about how budget cuts will affect the U.S. Moving forward, Dempsey said, "if we stay on this path, we will no longer be as immune as you think we should be."

Military suicides rise
Suicides among active-duty military rose this year compared with the same period last year, but Pentagon officials indicate more service members are seeking help through hotlines and other aid programs. Pentagon documents obtained by The Associated Press show there were 161 confirmed or suspected suicides as of July 14, compared with 154 during the same time frame in 2013. The increase was among the Air Force and Navy, while soldiers and Marine suicides went down.

Why is Russian President Putin at odds with the rest of the world?
"The President of Russia now has a view of history since 1945 that is completely at odds with how the rest of the world looks at history," says Former National Security Advisor James Jones. The real issue, which many view as a festering problem, is Putin's alleged grudge about the way the Cold War turned out. "He believes and he has said that worst thing that has happened in the last century is the dissolution of the Soviet Empire," says Jones.

Russian sanction could be "catastrophic"
A day after the U.S. hit several Russian arms companies with sanctions over the Ukraine conflict, a top U.S. general is warning that congressional efforts to cut off dealings with Moscow's main weapons exporter could be "catastrophic" for U.S. forces. Marine General Joseph Dunford, commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, said 88 Russian helicopters the Pentagon is buying for Afghan security forces were critical for protecting U.S.troops that remain in the country after the end of this year.

Russia hit by new U.S. sanctions
The United States has imposed new sanctions on lucrative Russian energy and defense entities, as well as major banks. The Obama administration is trying disable an insurgency in eastern Ukraine widely believed to be backed by Moscow. Prior U.S. sanctions hit Russian individuals and companies. The new sanctions stop short of fully cutting off key Russian economic sectors.

The F-35 gets good and bad news
The F-35 is back in business, at least on a limited basis. The military is allowing some flying capabilities. It was grounded back in June when part of the engine of a U.S. Air Force F-35 A-model broke apart and ripped through the top of a jet as it prepared for take-off. As a result, the plane will not fly in the Farnborough International Airshow in England.

What's next for Bergdahl?
Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl has a desk job. This ends the formal phase of his transition from Taliban prisoner back to active duty soldier. This opens the door to an Army investigation into his disappearance and his 5 years in captivity. It's not clear when Bergdahl will face Army investigators, whose finding will determine whether he has to face charges or any other disciplinary action.

Could some of the Benghazi victims have been saved?
The Associated Press is reporting that senior military leaders told Congress in a closed door session that two of the four U.S. deaths in Benghazi might have been prevented. Military leaders say if commanders had known more about the intensity of the gunfire directed at the CIA facility where Americans had taken refuge, they could have taken action. AP reports they thought the fighting had subsided and the Americans who had fled to the CIA base about a mile away were safe.

Convicted spy dies in prison
Pete Earley, author of Family of Spies: Inside the John Walker Spy Ring, reports Walker's brother Arthur Walker, 79, has died. Earley says he died July 4th at the Butner Prison in Butner, North Carolina of acute kidney failure, about one month shy of a parole hearing. In his blog, Earley explains Arthur was the older brother of John Anthony Walker Jr., "who remains in poor health, at the same Butner prison. John, who is 76, is scheduled for parole on May 20, 2015, but is in the later stages of throat cancer, according to a family friend."

Olsen leaving NCTC
National Counterterrorism Center Director Matt Olsen is leaving his position later this year. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper says Olsen has led the office for three years, integrating the counterterrorism community by seeking to strengthen key partnerships in the intelligence community. The NCTC is a key tool in the U.S. intelligence arsenal and is designed to warn against terrorist attacks. Its function is also to provide U.S. decision makers the intelligence they needed to counter terror threats.

Favorite Dodgers going to Dogs
The Los Angeles Dodgers continue to boast the best record in baseball despite a recent slump that has seen them lose their last four games.
That's the longest losing streak of the season for the Dodgers and they'll try to avoid stretching it out to five on Thursday when they take on the Cardinals.
Naturally, MLB underdog bettors aren't blue over Dodger Blue's losing skid.
The Dodgers streak should have been snapped on Wednesday night. Young lefty Clayton Kershaw delivered a masterpiece for Los Angeles and tossed eight shutout innings with seven strikeouts. Kershaw could only watch though as closer Jonathan Broxton blew it in the ninth and gave up the tying run. The game went on, and on, and on in extra innings before the Cardinals finally pulled out a 3-2 win in the 15th inning.
The Cards go for the series sweep Thursday with Kyle Lohse facing Dodgers' opening day starter Hiroki Kuroda. Lohse has been going through his own rough streak lately with a 1-6 record in his last nine starts.
Last time out he lasted only four innings versus the Phillies after surrendering three runs on four hits. Kuroda delivered one of his best starts in quite awhile the last time he took the mound. He went six innings against the Marlins and allowed only two runs with nine strikeouts. Despite having Lohse on the mound, the Cardinals sneak in as a small -110 home moneyline favorite at Bovada
MLB odds - Double dip for the Mets
While the Dodgers are stumbling the Mets are building some momentum after reeling off four wins in a row. New York could extend that streak to six today with a doubleheader against the Rockies after last night's game was rained out.
In Game 1, the Mets are big favorites with ace Johan Santana slated to start against the Rockies' Jason Hammel. To deliver a win Santana will need to much better than he was in his last start when he was knocked around by the Astros.
Santana took the loss against Houston after getting ripped for five runs on 12 hits in six innings. Hammel hasn't recorded a win since June 26 and is coming off a loss against San Francisco in which he allowed three runs in six innings. The Mets are a -145 chalk in Game 1 at Bovada
The Game 2 pitching match-up looks to favored the Rockies with Jonathon Niese set to make only his fourth start of the season for New York, while Jorge De La Rosa gets the ball for Colorado. Niese recorded is first win of the season last time out after a solid start against Houston. He went seven innings and allowed one run on four hits.
De La Rosa has quietly gone 7-0 in his last eight starts. He faced the Giants in his last outing and limited them to two runs on seven hits over 7 1-3 strong innings.

GENDRON Executive Director, Zoological Operations & Education Absent with Apologies Mrs. Justina LEUNG NGAI Mou-yin, J.P. Professor Albert LEUNG Wing-nang Mr. CHOW Kwong Assistant Commissioner (Boundary and Ports), Customs & Excise Department OPENING REMARKS 1/11 The Chairman welcomed all members to the first meeting of the new term, in particular, four new members, Dr. CHIU Sein-tuck, Dr. Kenneth LEUNG Mei-yee, Ms. Erica LO Lai-shan as well as Mr. TSANG Kwok-keung, and Ms. Azaria WONG Kam-yan, Endangered Species Protection Officer/Licensing 1, who attended the meeting for the first time. 2/11 The Chairman informed members that, as an established practice, to facilitate the taking of meeting minutes, sound recording would be made during the meeting. The audio records would be destroyed after the meeting minutes had been confirmed. AGENDA ITEMS III. Matters Arising from the Last Meeting 3/11 With members' consent, The Chairman invited Ms. Suzanne M. GENDRON to update members on Animal Acquisitions Plan of Ocean Park and Giant Pandas in Ocean Park. -2 - (b) Updates on the Animal Acquisitions Plan of Ocean Park (Para. 80/10 to 93/10) 4/11 Ms. Suzanne M. GENDRON informed members that Grand Aquarium and Rainforest Exhibits would be opened to the public on 27 January and in mid April 2011 respectively. 5/11 Ms. GENDRON briefed members on the facilities of Grand Aquarium and the new animals. She said that the imported seahorses were captive born in other aquariums. Besides, there were other animals acquired from the wild or confiscated animals donated by AFCD. 6/11 Ms. GENDRON informed members that Rainforest would show the cultural connection with rainforests, the importance of rainforest products in our lives and the importance of conserving rainforests. She then introduced the layout of Rainforest and the new animals to be acquired including mammals (e.g. red-handed tamarins, capybara and kinkajous), birds (e.g. great curassow and yellow-crowned amazon), amphibians, and reptiles (e.g. anaconda and emerald tree boa). These birds, amphibians and reptiles were all captive-bred in other zoological facilities. 7/11 Ms. GENDRON answered a member that no CITES Appendix I species would be acquired for Grand Aquarium or Rainforest. 8/11 Ms. GENDRON replied to an enquiry raised by Mr. Alan WONG Chi-kong, J.P. that the seahorses were mainly imported from Indonesia while the corals were exotic species. 9/11 Mr. Alan WONG Chi-kong, J.P. remarked that it would be useful to make a cross- reference between exotic coral species in Grand Aquarium and local coral species in Marine Parks to publicize Marine Parks if visitors wished to see the local species in their habitats. 10/11 In response to a member's enquiry on whether any species newly acquired by Grand Aquarium died, Ms. GENDRON replied that there was some loss of bluefin tuna when they arrived. The bluefin tuna appeared to be more sensitive to changes in water chemistry and stress due to transport. They now settled well. The mortality rate of mackerel tuna was very low and there was no ununual death of other coral reef fish. -3 - 11/11 In response to the member's enquiry on whether the incidents would shed light on the strategy of animal acquisition of Ocean Park in the future and management of Grand Aquarium, Ms. GENDRON replied that Ocean Park had worked closely with their Japanese counterparts in keeping these animals alive as well as monitoring the Aquarium. Ocean Park always reviewed their strategy of animal acquisition in order to minimize the loss of animals. 12/11 The member said that she was asked by a reporter of a local weekly magazine about her views on incidents of death for the species newly acquired by Grand Aquarium. She informed the reporter that Ocean Park was a very responsible organization as they had always been keeping members of the Committee abreast of the latest situation of endangered species in Ocean Park. To help Committee members to handle enquiries of this kind, she suggested that Ocean Park should provide information to members at appropriate time. Ms. GENDRON thanked the member for her suggestion. 13/11 Ms. GENDRON pointed out that it was very unfortunate that the magazine did not report the incident accurately despite Ocean Park had given the correct information. 14/11 Ms. GENDRON added that Ocean Park would strive to ensure that the life support system of Grand Aquarium worked properly. She highlighted that there was a backup of 1,000 m3 of water for the system which had a full capacity of 5,000 m3. In case there was a failure in part of the system, Ocean Park could change 20% of the water in the system in one day to keep the water in acceptable quality, so as to ensure the survival of the animals. 15/11 Mr. Alan WONG Chi-kong, J.P. said that it would be useful for members, particularly new members, to check with the secretariat of the Committee, subject officers of AFCD as well as Ocean Park for relevant information when they prepared for enquiries from various interest parties, including the mass media. 16/11 Mr. Alan WONG Chi-kong, J.P. proposed that Ocean Park should organize a tour for members to Ocean Park to let them understand the ways in which Ocean Park took care of the animals. 17/11 Ms. GENDRON invited members to visit Ocean Park and to have a preview on Grand Aquarium before the opening of Grand Aquarium on 27 January 2011. -4 - [Post-meeting note: Members attended the preview tour to Grand Aquarium on 22 January 2011.] 18/11 Ms. GENDRON replied to a member's question that Ocean Park did not allow discharge of the water of Ocean Park to the sea except chlorinated water from Ocean Theatre. Water from other facilities was channeled to the sewage system of Ocean Park. As a result, exotic species kept in Ocean Park would not be released to local waters. 19/11 The Chairman concluded the discussion. Firstly, Ocean Park offered their invitation to members to visit Grand Aquarium. Secondly, members might contact the Chairman, AFCD subject officers or relevant organizations, including Ocean Park, for relevant information before responding to enquiries from the mass media or other parties. He also welcomed members to exchange views with him and other members. This would ensure consistency in terms of response from the Committee. 20/11 A member suggested that members should obtain an electronic copy of media coverage concerning incidents about endangered species so that they could be alerted of the situation and any possible questions from the media. 21/11 Mr. CHAN Yiu-keung advised that members could contact the secretariat or AFCD subject officers for relevant information if they had received enquiries on endangered species. (a) An update on Giant Pandas in Ocean Park (Para. 65/10 to 79/10) 22/11 Ms. GENDRON updated members of the conditions of the Giant Pandas. The four Giant Pandas were doing well though An An and Jia Jia were receiving medication and supplement. An An would be 25 years old in September 2011. Jia Jia was about 33 years old and was the third oldest panda in captivity. The life expectancy of Giant Pandas was about 27 years. Both Ying Ying and Le Le were about five years old. It was expected that they would come to sexual maturity and would be ready for mating. 23/11 Ms. GENDRON said that the four Red Pandas were doing well. It was expected that their first breeding period would start in late 2011. She supplemented that Red Pandas typically breed in the winter and have cubs in June of the following year. -5 - 24/11 Ms. GENDRON remarked that Ocean Park Conservation Foundation Hong Kong (OPCFHK) had just celebrated its 16th Ocean Park Conservation Day. OPCFHK had supported 23 projects dedicated to the conservation of Giant Pandas since 1999, including abundance and habitat monitoring, habitat restoration, sponsorship of equipment at nature reserves, as well as capacity building and community education. OPCFHK also supported earthquake rebuilding projects in nature reserves for Giant Pandas. 25/11 Ms. GENDRON supplemented that OPCFHK had commenced a new university student sponsorship programme that supported conservation biology students to conduct education projects for nature reserves in the Mainland. The results of these projects would be uploaded onto OPCFHK's website. 26/11 Ms. GENDRON briefed members on the layout of Polar Adventure and the animals acquired for South Pole Spectacular and North Pole Spectacular. She said that Polar Adventure was expected to be opened to the public in 2012. She added that king penguins, gentoo penguins and rockhopper penguins for South Pole Spectacular were born in captivity in Japan and the United States. A largha seal for North Pole Spectacular also arrived in June 2010. 27/11 Ms. GENDRON reiterated the principle of Animal Acquisitions Plan of Ocean Park. She emphasized that Ocean Park would first source surplus animals from other zoological facilities and its sister aquariums and rescued animals. She elaborated that before acquiring any animals from the wild, especially marine mammals and CITES-listed animals, Ocean Park would determine if the capture was sustainable and non-detrimental to the wild population. She highlighted that Ocean Park, being a statutory body, pledged to abide by all the laws, including the laws of Hong Kong and of the country of acquisition. 28/11 Ms. GENDRON answered a member's enquiries that Ocean Park had already prepared a media communication plan for Giant Pandas, especially for the oldest Jia Jia. Ocean Park would convey to the public that both An An and Jia Jia were getting old, in stable conditions and under good care. 29/11 A member said that he was asked by the media about mortality rate of marine mammals. He suggested that it was appropriate to provide more information on this issue to members for reference. Ms. GENDRON replied that Ocean Park would present a fact sheet on life expectancy of marine mammals under human care in next meeting. Mr. CHAN Yiu-keung -6 - added that if the fact sheet was available before next meeting, Ocean Park could send it to the secretariat for distribution to members. 30/11 The Chairman thanked Ms. GENDRON for attending the meeting. (Ms. Suzanne M. GENDRON left the meeting at this juncture.) 31/11 The Chairman introduced members and government representatives to each other. He also took the opportunity to thank four retired members, Mr. CHIU Ching-cheung, Dr. Craig KIRKPATRICK, Dr. SUN Mei as well as Mr. WONG Hing-keung for their contribution to the Committee. I. Declaration of Interests and Transparency Measures 32/11 Mr. CHAN Yiu-keung briefed members on the guidelines on declaration of interests and transparency measures. 33/11 Mr. CHAN Yiu-keung replied to a member's enquiry that a member might exchange view with other members of the Committee in formulating his opinion before responding to the media. 34/11 Mr. Alan WONG Chi-kong, J.P. remarked that a member might communicate with the Department to obtain relevant background information for response when enquired by the media or the public on issues of endangered species. Besides, he should state clearly that his views or replies were made in his personal capacity only, not for the Committee. If an issue was the subject of much public concerns, a special meeting could be convened so that members could exchange their views. 35/11 The member agreed to Mr. Alan WONG's remarks. He also proposed to minute Mr. WONG's remarks for members' information. 36/11 A member agreed that Committee members should communicate with each other and the Department before they would respond to the media. She said that a member should inform the media that his reply solely represented his personal views. Besides, the member -7 - should advise the media that he, being a member of the Committee, had the obligation to advise the Department on issues in connection with endangered species. 37/11 A member suggested that the Department should provide information about ad hoc issues of endangered species for members' reference. 38/11 Mr. Alan WONG Chi-kong, J.P. replied that the Department would provide relevant information to a Committee member if the member would be interviewed by the media. 39/11 Members noted the guidelines on declaration of interests and transparency measures. II. Confirmation of Minutes of the Last Meeting held on 14 July 2010 40/11 The minutes of the last meeting held on 14 July 2010 were confirmed without amendments. III. Matters Arising from the Last Meeting (c) Amendments to the Protection of Endangered Species of Animals and Plants Ordinance (Para. 94/10) 41/11 Mr. Alfred WONG Kwong-chiu reported that the Department had been working closely with the Department of Justice in the process of legislative amendments to the Protection of Endangered Species of Animals and Plants Ordinance. It was expected that the amendments would be submitted to the Legislative Council in February and come into effect in the end of April 2011. [Post-meeting note: the amendments would come into effect on 20 May 2011.] IV. Placement of Pets of Endangered Species handed over to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) (Committee Paper: CP/ESAC/1/2011) 42/11 Mr. Alfred WONG Kwong-chiu presented Committee Paper CP/ESAC/1/2011, informing members of the principles of disposal of endangered species and the proposal on placement of pets of endangered species through SPCA. He advised that the proposal conformed to the CITES Resolution on disposal of live animals and would unlikely stimulate -8 - illegal trade in the involved species. Moreover, such additional placement option would help shorten the time for disposal of the live animals and alleviate the burden of the Department in accommodating them in the limited local keeping facilities. 43/11 Mr. Alfred WONG answered a member's enquiry that the proposal was in the preliminary stage. After consulting the Committee, the Department would work out the detailed arrangements with SPCA including the reporting requirements. 44/11 Mr. Alfred WONG replied to the member's further enquiry that the proposal was on a non-commercial basis. 45/11 Mr. Alfred WONG answered a member's enquiry that the proposal aimed to rehome pets of endangered species through SPCA to suitable adopters, similar to SPCA's existing schemes for dogs and cats. 46/11 Mr. Alan WONG Chi-kong, J.P. supplemented that he believed that SPCA was capable of keeping endangered species well. 47/11 Mr. Alan WONG Chi-kong, J.P. replied to a member's enquiry that about 40 – 50 organizations had shown their interests in participating in the placement scheme for cats and dogs. However, after screening, the Department had selected only eleven organizations, including SPCA, to participate in the scheme. He pointed out that SPCA had established for more than 100 years and had rigourous standards. He believed that SPCA had appropriate mechanisms to safeguard the welfare of rehomed animals and to prevent them from being sold subsequently. 48/11 Mr. Alan WONG Chi-kong, J.P. replied to the member that the Department would consider his suggestion on micro-chipping the rehomed animals to enhance their traceability. 49/11 Mr. Alan WONG Chi-kong, J.P. replied to a member that the Department would consider including terms into the proposal with SPCA so that adopters were not allowed to give their rehomed animals to other persons and they were requested to return their rehomed animals to SPCA if they did not intend to keep the animals. -9 - 50/11 The Chairman concluded that the members supported the proposal. He supplemented that the Department should follow up with measures on record-keeping and monitoring to prevent adopters from either reselling or giving their rehomed animals to others. V. Education and Publicity Work in 2010 (Committee Paper: CP/ESAC/2/2011) 51/11 Ms. Karrie WU Kar-yee presented Committee Paper CP/ESAC/2/2011, updating members of the progress of education and publicity work on endangered species protection in the second half of 2010 and the new work ahead in the first half of 2011. 52/11 A member appreciated the Department's education and publicity work on endangered species protection. 53/11 Mr. CHAN Yiu-keung replied to the member's enquiry that the Department had been well aware of the extensive use of mobile device technologies, such as iPhone and Android apps, for downloading information. The Department was open-minded in employing these technologies in its publicity work and welcomed members to provide advice. 54/11 A member suggested that the Department should also try to understand the interests and needs of young people in getting information of endangered species. 55/11 A member suggested that the Department could allocate resources to produce quiz or game apps for the publicity work. 56/11 Mr. Alan WONG Chi-kong, J.P. replied that the Department would explore making use of new IT technology to publicize endangered species protection to young people. 57/11 The Chairman concluded that the Department would consider making use of IT technology to enhance promulgation of endangered species protection to young people. 58/11 Mr. CHAN Yiu-keung supplemented that the Department had produced reference materials on endangered species protection for Liberal Studies under the New Senior Secondary Curriculum and had distributed them to all secondary schools. The Department - 10 - would continue its work in promoting the awareness of students and young people on this subject. VI. Summary Progress Report of CITES Work (Committee Paper: CP/ESAC/3/2011) 59/11 Mr. Alfred WONG presented Committee Paper CP/ESAC/3/2011 on AFCD's work in relation to CITES implementation in Hong Kong from 1 June 2010 to 30 November 2010. He highlighted the significant cases involving import, possession and re-export of endangered species without licences. 60/11 Mr. Alfred WONG replied to a member that the size of the 1,000 tails of live Arapaima in Case No. 269/2010 ranged from about ten to twelve inches. He informed that the fishes were either dead or in very poor conditions when the importer attempted to take clearance of the shipment. After confiscating the fishes, the Department found that it was impracticable to keep the fishes in captivity. Hence, those fishes which remained alive were disposed of by euthanasia. VII. Serving the Community – Service Standards Committee 31st Monitoring Report (Committee Paper: CP/ESAC/4/2011) 61/11 Ms. Karrie WU reported that for the quarter ended June 2010 and that ended September 2010, all applications had met the target. She supplemented that no complaints had been received during the report periods and the overall service standard was satisfactory. Members had no comment on the Paper. VIII. Any Other Business 62/11 There was no any other business to be discussed. IX. Date of Next Meeting 63/11 The Chairman said that members would be informed of the date of next meeting in due course. 64/11 The meeting was adjourned at 5:10 p.m.. - End - - 11 -

Scientists are trying to understand if the unusual weather in the Northern Hemisphere this winter — from record heat in Alaska to unprecedented flooding in Britain — is linked to climate change. One thing seems clear: Shifts in the jet stream play a key role and could become even more disruptive as the world warms.
This winter's weather has been weird across much of the Northern Hemisphere. Record storms in Europe; record drought in California; record heat in parts of the Arctic, including Alaska and parts of Scandinavia; but record freezes too, as polar air blew south over Canada and the U.S., causing near-record ice cover on the Great Lakes, sending the mercury as low as minus 50 degrees Celsius in Minnesota, and bringing sharp chills to Texas.

Remember that time when a giant pattern of Arctic air descended over the U.S. and Canada, freezing everything in its path? Remember when it came back? Yeah, that's all happening again.
Here's Wunderground's Jeff Masters, who completely buried the lede with something about a "major February thaw" across the Midwest U.S. before delving into this forecast of horrors:

The new State Department Environmental Impact Statement for the Keystone Pipeline does three things. First, it signals a greater likelihood that the pipeline project will be approved later this year by the administration. Second, it vividly illustrates the depth of confusion of US climate change policy. Third, it self-portrays the US Government as a helpless bystander to climate calamity.

Solar energy has long been used as a clean alternative to fossil fuels such as coal and oil, but it could only be harnessed during the day when the sun's rays were strongest. Now researchers led by Tom Meyer at the Energy Frontier Research Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have built a system that converts the sun's energy not into electricity but hydrogen fuel and stores it for later use, allowing us to power our devices long after the sun goes down.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hard-to-predict sudden changes to Earth's environment are more worrisome than climate change's bigger but more gradual impacts, a panel of scientists advising the federal government concluded Tuesday.
The 200-page report by the National Academy of Sciences looked at warming problems that can occur in years instead of centuries. The report repeatedly warns of potential "tipping points" where the climate passes thresholds, beyond which "major and rapid changes occur." And some of these quick changes are happening now, said study chairman James White of the University of Colorado.

Today, we are excited to name the first group of cities selected through the Rockefeller Foundation's 100 Resilient Cities Centennial Challenge – cities who have demonstrated a dedicated commitment to building their own capacities to prepare for, withstand, and bounce back rapidly from shocks and stresses.
Since we announced the challenge on our 100th birthday, May 14, 2013, the response has been enormous, with more than 1,000 registrations and nearly 400 formal applications from cities around the world. Each city was asked to present a clear and compelling description of how they are approaching and planning for resilience to decrease vulnerabilities, and after careful review of the applications, a panel of esteemed judges, including former presidents Bill Clinton and Olosegun Obasanjo, recommended the first set of 33 cities for the 100 Resilient Cities Network.

On any given evening news show the entire broadcast, from the riots in Ferguson Missouri to the civil war in Iraq have one thing in common, they are a consequence of a government with unlimited resources and no oversight.
The problems in Ferguson existed before this latest incident. According to the city's web site, poor blacks outnumber poor whites 5 to 1 and 74.2% of them are women with no husband in the house. Living within our welfare system, they can't afford to marry the father of their children who then have almost no chance of growing up to be free, productive citizens.
We have armed almost every military in the world, not because anyone thinks it will make the world safer, because it enriches the crony government/industrial partnership. The pictures of police in Ferguson driving armored trucks, wearing camouflage and carrying machine guns are showing us that foreign armies aren't the only ones affected by the government's unlimited budget.
Since Obama became President, police departments have received tens of thousands of machine guns, ammunition, silencers, armored trucks, aircraft and surveillance technology from the federal government. It kind of puts Rand Paul's campaign against drones used on Americans into perspective.
Soldiers wear camouflage to blend in with their surroundings, they drive armored vehicles protect themselves against roadside bombs and they carry automatic weapons to kill the enemy. Those are not the tools of a suburban police department whose mission is to protect and serve their community.
The militarization of urban police departments might be the product of an out of outsized military budget, but it's no accident. The government has no intention of repaying our debt and they know that borrowing Fed created dollars and then borrowing more to pay the interest will eventually result in an economic collapse. They are preparing for massive domestic unrest.
Uncontrolled spending is a threat to peace here and abroad. Control is our job, but our system is no longer of, for and by the people. It's just paid for by the people, who are less and less in control every day.
It leaves us pretty much up a creek as far as being able to do anything about it, except that I am more convinced every day that Rand Paul will be our next President and there is a good chance he will choose Ben Carson as a running mate. The truth is we can't afford the wars or the welfare and I believe the American people are ready to hear it.

In 1992 Bill Clinton promised that NAFTA would result in more high quality jobs for Americans and less illegal immigration. Ross Perot said there would be a giant sucking sound as thousands of businesses and millions of jobs left the country.
Before NAFTA manufacturing constituted over twenty percent of U.S. jobs, it is down to nine percent today. The number of illegal aliens in the U.S. has doubled since NAFTA. The average worth of a typical American family is down 36 percent. The percentage of Americans with a job has decreased, and the number of Americans on Food Stamps has doubled.
Clinton was wrong. NAFTA has failed the American people. The economy began its decline in 1992 and we have been in a recession since 2005 regardless of what the government is telling us.
They tell us that the unemployment rate is 6.2 percent, but if they counted it the way they did before NAFTA, the rate today would be 12.6 percent and if they counted all the people who have dropped out of the workforce since 1992 it would be over twenty percent.
They told us that the economy contracted by .01 percent in the first quarter of 2014. Then they revised it to 1.0 percent, and now to a 2.9 percent contraction. If you believe that you might as well take their word that the inflation rate is just two percent. If they calculated that the way they did before NAFTA, the inflation rate today is close to ten percent.
The bigger problem isn't the jobs that moved to Mexico, it's that small business, who always provided most of our jobs in the first place, are left having to compete against the big companies who not only are paying Mexican workers a little over a dollar an hour to do jobs we used to do, but also don't pay U.S. payroll taxes or follow U.S. regulations.
The reason NAFTA passed in the first place is that our system caters to large corporations that spend money on political donations and lobbyists and that's also the reason it will never be reversed. In fact President Obama along with over 600 official "trade advisors" is negotiating another free trade agreement between the U.S. and 11 other countries called the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
Republican and Democrat controlled Congresses along with the Clinton, Bush and Obama Administrations have all participated in the dilution of the U.S. economy into the rest of the world so that big corporations can manufacture where labor is cheapest and pay taxes where they are lowest. None of them are representing the interests of working Americans.

Manage Conference Schedules on an Android Device with Giraffe
Productivity Sauce
When my good buddy and lead DokuWiki developer Andreas Gohr started posting links to Android development resources on Twitter, I had a suspicion that he was up to something. It turned out I was right. Recently, Andreas released his first Android application called Giraffe.
It is a simple yet genuinely useful app -- especially if you attend conferences and events, and you need to keep tabs on their schedules. If the conference or event provides its schedule in the iCal format, you can use Giraffe to pull the calendar data and present them in a readable format. Better yet, you can use Giraffe to star the desired entries and view the current items. That's pretty much all Giraffe does, but if you frequent conferences, barcamps, and other events, you may find Giraffe quite handy.comments powered by Disqus

Firstly I would like to say that I'm disappointed it didn't work out for Brian & Barry, they brought some good players to our club and played decent football, but we never really got going. My decision was purely a footballing one. Our relationship remained good throughout the season and I hope it remains that way.
Why now?

Billericay were once again involved in late drama as Billy Bricknell got the slightest of touches to a Harrison Chatting cross to grab a dramatic injury time equaliser in this Ryman league game at New Lodge on Saturday. The late, late goal injected some excitement into what had hitherto been a pretty tepid affair, short on flair and inventive football.

A decision was made Sunday morning to release Brian Statham and Barry Lakin from their positions with Billericay Town F.C. I would like to thank them both for their efforts whilst with us. They worked hard and made decisions which they believed were right for the club. I wish them well for the future, as they wish the same for us.
As a club, we move on.
I have asked our reserve team manager, John Mifsud, to step in and take the remaining games. For those of you who are not familiar with John, he has been with us for 6 years, he has a good eye for a player and has built many successful winning youth sides. As well as being reserve team manager John also oversees the U18s & U16s. Young players like Rob Swaine, Dale Brightly, Wayne Semanshia and Harrison Chatting have all come through the ranks with John, so I have no concerns about his ability to look after and manage our side in these remaining games.
I ask that all the supporters on the terraces get wholeheartedly behind our team, your support means a lot the lads on the pitch and I'm sure they will respond positively with you help.
Thank you all for your support,
Steve Kent.

Blues return home after successful two weeks on the road
Match preview by Paul Jennings.
After two weeks on the road in which they remained undefeated in three games, the Blues make a welcome return to New Lodge on Saturday for a home clash with Cray Wanderers.
Blues boss Brian Statham's main injury concern centres around goalkeeper Paul Nicholls who picked up a groin injury half way through the first half at Canvey on Tuesday evening. New signing Ashlee Jones is added to the squad as cover should Nicholls not make it through a pre-match fitness test.
Ashlee Jones & Jamie England sign

In light of Michael Shinn's departure, and with Paul Nicholls carrying an injury, Brian Statham has boosted his squad with two signings.
Speaking today, Statham said: "After the injury suffered by 1st choice keeper Paul Nicholls at Canvey, I have signed Ashlee Jones before the deadline. Ashlee has played for Rushden & Diamonds, Potters Bar Town, Fisher Athletic and Crawley Town before signing, in March 2009, for Wycombe Wanderers on a non-contract basis. In October 2009 he joined League Two club Darlington. He made his Football League debut on 1 December 2009 for Darlington in their 4–0 away defeat against Notts County. His contract was cancelled by mutual consent on 16 February 2010. Ashlee played for Kingstonian including the 5 – 1 reversal against us. He now trains full time at Crystal Palace, so is in good shape.
Following Michael Shinn's move to Dartford, I am very pleased to have secured the services of Jamie England from Ashford Town (Mx). Jamie is a central midfielder who is capable of scoring goals - he has 9 this season for both Carshalton and Ashford. A former pro at Brentford, Jamie joined Chelmsford City on loan before signing on a permanent basis. He was in the side that lost to Billericay in the play off semi-final but then went onto win promotion with City the following season. He left City that summer due to a contractual wrangle, finally signing for Carshalton, where once again he reached the play off final, only to lose on penalties.
Both Ashlee (22) and Jamie (21) are of a good age, are ambitious, and have good pedigree, so will be welcome additions to the squad, and with the recent additions of Mick Haswell and Bobby Aisien, plus the imminent return of Billy Bricknell the squad is in very good shape for the remainder of the season."

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Oklahoma House has approved a bill to keep the state's total bond debt where it is now in relation to total general revenue.
The proposal from Republican House Speaker T. W. Shannon would restrict the state's debt in bonds and leases to 28 percent of general revenue — which is currently about $5.3 billion. The state is currently at that limit with its $1.5 billion in tax-supported debt, meaning some bonds would have to be paid off before more could be issued.
Bond issues have been a hot topic since Gov. Mary Fallin called for extensive repairs to the state Capitol in her State of the State address Feb. 4. Those repairs — and a handful of other potential state projects — could cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

Good deal! Mmm Snickers! For some reason the Twix did not scan as $1.99 though. Bummer.
the snickers and m&ms fun size had a $1 off 2 peelie at my local Walgreens.
Under which zipcode?
The Walgreens October booklet in the store.
It's a direct link, so you shouldn't need to use a zip code. If you do, try 77477.
Just a comment that you should change the picture with this post. Reese's are made by Hershey, so you cannot use the Mars coupon with them. Also, there is a $0.50 off Mars fun-size candy coupon in the October Savings Book (in addition to $0.50 off Hershey's fun-size and $1 off 2 Mars M&Ms).

Iceland raised its alert over the nation's largest volcano to red on Saturday, banning all air traffic in the area, after detecting a small eruption. A major explosion at the Bardarbunga volcano could signal a replay of the global travel chaos triggered when another peak blew four years ago, creating a massive ash cloud across Europe. "There is an ongoing eruption beneath the glacial surface, probably a small eruption which has not been able to melt the ice cap," Met Office official Theodor Hervasson said. The authorities earlier this week evacuated tourists and hikers from the area around Bardarbunga, which kicked into seismic action on Monday with the biggest earthquake registered since 1996.
BERLIN (AP) — Several thousand people have formed a human chain across the German-Polish border to protest the expansion of open-cast mining for brown coal in the region.

Vikings Retain Current Radio Deal
Viking Update Staff - Scout.com
February 18, 2005 at 11:56am ET
Even though Red McCombs is heading out the door, it looks like he's doing his other businesses a solid on the way out.
Whether or not Reggie Fowler ends up with the Vikings or not may still be up in the air, but the one near-certainty is that by next season, Red McCombs will surely be gone.
But, he is still running the day-to-day operations of the team and, to that end, did his own business interests a solid Thursday. McCombs, a major stockholder in Clear Channel Communications, which owns KFAN Radio of Minneapolis, approved a five-year contract extension to keep the station as the Vikings flagship.
Word from Winter Park is that the Vikings are happy with the current arrangement, when KFAN took the Vikings away from longtime home WCCO-AM. While no decisions have been finalized, VU has been told that the play-by-play contract of Paul Allen and Joe Senser will also be picked up.
I think this is great, I love listening to Paul Allen when the Vikings are playing on the road. So what if Red owns part of clear channel, I think KFAN is better than wcco

DALLAS - One thing that really gets the crowd fired up during the NBA Finals games at the American Airlines Center has been the state-of-the-art videos played on the Jumbo Tron.
There's a team deep inside the American Airlines Center that brainstorms the videos throughout the season.
During the downtime in a Mavericks game at the American Airlines Center the action above the court takes over.
"All of our videos are like presents waiting to be opened," said Cash Sirois, the creative director.
The give fans a dose of laughter and inspiration on a big screen.
Sirois and his team, including two Dallas production houses, are behind the videos.
"We put in a lot of heart and soul into those videos," Sirois said.
"It's my job to make sure all of those videos create goosebumps, create cheers and laughs, a cool feeling you can't get anywhere else," he added.
The creative director's source for ideas come from brainstorming meetings to conversations with family. "Quest for the Championship" came after a discussion with his brother.
"That was a discussion my brother had about a Heisman Trophy ad years and years ago," Sirois said.
His latest project featuring the best in sports was a hit with the crowd.
Now, they are hoping to get the chance to work on one more final video.
"It will be very nice for things to go our way," he said.

Red Hat makes a security bundle with Symantec
Red Hat last week continued its appliance assault via a partnership with Symantec.

Customers can pick from pre-tested packages that included Red Hat Enterprise Linux or the Red Hat Application Stack …
False Prophets ......Real Profits.
"including protection against zero day exploits and buffer overflow and memory-based attacks."
I wouldn't like to be defending that claim in a Court of Law although I suppose I am protected against the Sun if I don't venture out into IT unclothed.

Considering Symantec's recent history of bloopers...

Former GOP congressman predicts new Sedition Act
Desire to stop secrets outlet WikiLeaks from disclosing more US documents could lead to a new Sedition Act, according to former Rep. Bob Barr (R-GA).
Try as they might, US officials will not be able to convict WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange under current laws and will resort to passing new draconian measures, Barr explained in a recent column.
Signed into law in 1798 by President John Adams, the Sedition Act made it a crime to publish "false, scandalous, and malicious writing" against the government.
Of the 25 people charged with violating the Sedition Act, most were newspaper editors. The law expired in 1801 and those convicted were pardoned by President Thomas Jefferson.
"Jefferson was, of course, right in his view of this law (which expired before its constitutionality could be determined by the Supreme Court)," Barr wrote. "His wisdom is well-needed today to quell the blood thirst of those clamoring for Assange's head because of WikiLeaks' release of cables and e-mails critical of and embarrassing to, the government."
The US Department of Justice has said it was investigating whether it could charge Assange under the Espionage Act or with criminal conspiracy, but no formal charges have yet been issued.
"Many legal scholars, not prone to the pressures of public sentiment (which polls suggest strongly supports prosecuting Assange), correctly argue there simply is no proper basis for a case against the WikiLeaks founder under the Espionage Act, federal conspiracy laws, or other statutes," Barr noted.
"Reading the Espionage Act the way Assange's critics would have us do, would open a Pandora's Box of virtually unlimited reach," he wrote.
"By its terms, it criminalizes not merely the disclosure of national defense information by organizations such as Wikileaks, but also the reporting on that information by countless news organizations," Benjamin Wittes, a legal analyst from the Brookings Institution, explained on his blog. "It also criminalizes all casual discussions of such disclosures by persons not authorized to receive them to other persons not authorized to receive them–in other words, all tweets sending around those countless news stories, all blogging on them, and all dinner party conversations about their contents."
"Taken at its word, the Espionage Act makes felons of us all," he added.
"Yet such ridiculously broad expansion of federal law, simply to pillory a person who clearly delights in embarrassing the government, would seem to be what some in Washington, including Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) and Rep. Peter King (R-NY), just might have in mind," Barr continued.
"And, unfortunately, there are many in the executive branch who appear to be moving in just such direction; actively constructing what may become a conspiracy case against Assange."
"We can only hope Jefferson's wisdom and understanding will speak from across the ages to shine the bright light of constitutional truth on such dark plans," he concluded.

Facebooks' 'Mentions Box' Introduces 'Video Selfies' For Celebs At Emmysby Ron Callari
Ever since Ellen Degeneres' creative 'selfie' bit was introduced at the last Academy Awards ceremony, the bar has been raised for future hosts' to use social media in more intricate and creative ways. Mark Zuckerberg and his cadre of coders at Facebook think they have just the thing to go Degeneres one better, when they debut their "Mentions Box" for celebrities during the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony on August 25.
Why Snapchat Ads Are An Oxymoronby Ron Callari
Snapchat and advertising seems to me to be two functions diametrically opposed - an oxymoron if you will. How can any marketing campaign make an impact, if by design it's fleeting in nature? Since Snapchat is a messaging app that delivers status updates, photos and/or videos viewable for 10 seconds only — is that enough time to leave a lasting impression?
Instagram Breaking Bad For Emmys With Scavenger Huntby Ron Callari
That show known for it's badness is so damn good, it's hard to let it go. So believes one of its award-winning costars - and we're inclined to agree. To that end, Aaron Paul has sought out the world's number-one mobile photo-sharing social network to help him spread the word of its departure in a very unique fashion.
The 'Ice Bucket Challenge' By The Numbersby Ron Callari
Internet trends come and go. They have their ephemeral day in the sun and dissipate almost as fast as they arrive. Everything from gyrating to the Harlem Shake to dancing Gangnam Style to planking and Tebowing, catching the world's zeitgeist in a viral wave can cause a slew of social media activity where you almost feel left out if you don't join in and/or critique it in some fashion.
Emoj.li, The Emoji-Only, Anti-Silicon Valley Social Networkby Ron Callari
Dissimilar to the countless social networks and apps that have gone before, Emoj.li isn't looking to disrupt or change any of the existing Web 2.0 business models. Instead of taking itself seriously, it's an evolving experiment that uses self-deprecating humor while parodying the social media space at large. With over 45,000 pre-registered users already signed up and zero funding, it's turning an inside joke. . .
D-Bag Parkers Beware, Online Parking Shaming Is A Thing Nowby Motors.new
Has an inconsiderate parking job by some uncaring oaf ever ruined your day, or at least prevented you from parking your vehicle? Of course it has, we've all been there, fuming helplessly – but no more! A pair of frustrated Canadians have set up a Facebook group and a Twitter account specially designed to shame lousy parkers.
How Can 'Orange Is The New Black' Be A Social Media Model & Blackhat Tactic?by Ron Callari
One of the biggest hit television series to put Netflix on the digital map was Orange is the New Black. It helped break new ground for an online network that was successful in converting TV watching from the living room to your desktops, laptops and mobile devices. In so doing, its scored 12 Emmy nominations, super-sized the paradigm of online buzz and converted a team of fans -- who beyond being addicted . . .
Trigger-Happy Russian Strelkov Behind Malaysian Missile & Social Media Strikesby Ron Callari
The World War II propaganda slogan, "Loose Lips Sinks Ships," was modified slightly to "Loose Tweets Sink Tweets," to better reflect the age of social media. However the meaning behind both mottos is the same - namely, that one does not broadcast intelligence before the facts are proven out. This ominous sentiment was played out once again on the world stage this past week, with horrific results.
'Tweetstorm' Is Trademarked, So 'Timeline Colonialism' Is On The Rise?by Ron Callari
It was inevitable that once the meme 'tweetstorm' was trademarked, 'timeline colonialism' would become Twitter's latest craze. Odd that something as common as sending multiple tweets in succession to make a point needed an identity before it could actually become part of the Twittersphere's zeitgeist.
Google Glass: To Read Or Not To Read Minds, That Is The Questionby Ron Callari
Pushing the limits of wearable technology will expand the digital horizon of the Internet of Things. And, telekinesis -- long thought to be a myth reserved for horror movies the likes of Bryan De Palma's 1976 classic, Carrie -- might be the next baby step in advancing this innovative technology. However, as quickly as the software developers at MindRDR launched an app to 'read minds' on Google Glass, the Big G was just as swift to refute the idea.

Hotel Waldhaus Review
With the friendliness that comes from a family-run establishment, this chalet-style guesthouse and restaurant is set on a quiet street overlooking the village. The simple rooms are bathed in buttery yellows and soft pinks, with comfy beds. There's exceptionally warm service from bubbly and genuine proprietress Evelyne Beckert-Grichting, who can be seen making the rounds in the restaurant, chatting with the guests in multiple languages. The restaurant is the town's best, and dishes up Valaisan meat dishes, raclettes, and fondues complemented by excellent regional and Bordeaux wines. The sprawling terrace offers great mountain views, and is home to frequent live music.

I cannot think of a better place to begin a London novel than the Natural History Museum. Atmospheric and labyrinthine, designed by its Victorian creators to mimic the richness of nature itself in an architecture of neo-Romanesque decorative joy, stuffed with wondrous exhibits from giant ammonites to fragile insects, this is a palace of the imagination. Who could resist a story that starts here? Continue reading...
