Witnesses and representatives at the U.S. House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Courts, the Internet and Intellectual Property hearing Thursday did express fears that profits from widespread copying of movies, music and software outside the U.S. were being funneled into terrorist organizations, but the hearing produced no concrete examples of that happening.
John G. Malcolm, deputy assistant attorney general in the criminal division of the U.S. Department of Justice did say there seems to be some connection between illegal copying and organized crime, in that many of the groups profiting from illegal copies are highly organized and can have international distribution networks. Organized crime often supports terrorism, he suggested.
"These groups will not hesitate to threaten or injure those who tend to interfere with their operations," Malcolm said.
But when subcommittee chairman Lamar Smith, a Texas Republican, asked Malcolm for examples of cases where file trading was connected to terrorism, Malcolm said he couldn't give concrete examples. "It would surprise me greatly if the number were not large," Malcolm added. "This is an easy enterprise to get into; the barriers of entry are very small, and the profits are huge."
Smith and several others at the hearing noted that selling illegally copied materials can be more lucrative than selling illegal drugs, and several at the hearing compared the copyrighted materials trade to the drug trade. Illegally copied materials can have markups of 900 percent, Smith noted.
Malcolm told the representatives of the indictment in Virginia Wednesday of Hew Raymond Griffiths, of
"For too long, people engaged in piracy believed that if they were outside the borders of the

The days of three simple letters standing for Lubbock International Airport could be numbered. Instead, it could soon be LPSIA. It doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, but many think city recognition for former Governor Preston Smith, who passed away last October, is long overdue.
Not all agree however. At Monday's city council meeting, Lubbock resident George Scott got up and said, "I don't agree with changing the name to Preston Smith Airport." Of all the people at the meeting, Scott was the only one to speak out against renaming Lubbock's Airport in honor of Preston E. Smith. He says, "I've never seen him in East Lubbock for anything."
Monday, Scott found himself amongst a sea of people who think otherwise. One speaker asked everyone there in favor of renaming the airport to stand up and a crowd of about 40 people did. Another speaker said, "He was truly one of us. He was a West Texan made from the soil and dust in this area." Representative Delwin Jones said, "Lubbock has such a tremendous debt to this particular person."
All the support overwhelmed Preston Smith's daughter, granddaughter and son in law. Some of the kind words spoken were from people they'd never even met. Jan Taylor, Preston Smith's daughter, told NewsChannel 11, "There's just no question. It's a deserved honor." Lauren Burch, Preston Smith's Granddaughter, said, "He always just wanted to be one of everybody. He didn't care what color you were, what you looked like. He was a friend no matter what."
George Scott isn't sold. He still remembers Preston Smith for owning segregated theaters in Lubbock. He questions why a man who already has a school, and a prison named after him, plus a statue on the Texas Tech campus should also see his name raised high at what is currently LIA. He says, "I'm not going to change just because the ex-governor and his daughter and all these people say. He's still a... I could use some words I don't want to use now."
Whether you support changing LIA's name to honor Preston Smith or not, there is a bit of irony to behold. Smith's granddaughter told NewsChannel 11, all the children called him by the nickname "Way," short for up, up and away, a term he used on airplanes with his grandchildren and "Way" just stuck.
The City Council will vote on a second reading of the name change proposal on the October 28th and it's likely it will take weeks or months to actually see the new name at the airport if it is passed. That's mostly because it takes time and money to change all the signage. To update all the road signs and signs at the airport could cost up to $171,000.

Albany- Darius Harpe is safe at home in his family's living room, that was not the case, several weeks ago.
"Rockets could land 10 feet from you, or rockets could land 100 feet from you, but either way you didn't know when or how it was going to happen to you so you were constantly on guard," said Harpe.
This was his second tour to Iraq and he says it was harder to go back.
"This time around we got attacked more, more mortar and rocket attacks," claims Harpe.
When the attacks happen, Darius says that's when the adrenaline and training kick in.
"That one day, we had marines that actually got hit. I grabbed a stretcher, grabbed another marine, and took off running, got the marine on the stretcher, got him in a vehicle and got him over to medical," said Harpe.
Attacks were frequent and fierce, and out of the 12 helicopters Darius's unit handled 10 got hit.
"I say the worst months were probably October, November, it was a daily occurrence like clock work," claims Harpe.
It's a danger like this that his family didn't know he was a part of because he couldn't tell them.
"I didn't know where he was, he could never tell me where he was so I just had to go off of assumption, and the only thing that really kept us informed was that he called on the phone," said Leonia Harpe, his wife.
Darius's family planned a surprise party to welcome him home Saturday and they're definitely pleased to have him here in Albany.
"I missed him very much and I kept crying because he was gone," said his daughter, Brionna.
Harpe says, he hopes his unit will not be sent back to Iraq, but if ordered he says he'll go.
"I got thirteen years in, seven more and I can retire, so I'm going to have to do whatever they ask of me until I can retire."
Darius is on an extended stay this weekend. He plans to put in for a 30-day leave when he returns to work so he can spend more time with his family.

Chapter 6: Applying Humanism To Personal Problems
Applying Humanism to Personal Problems
Previous Chapter | Table of Contents | Next Chapter
The General Approach
Humanism is practical. It motivates us to understand complex situations and to make decisions. If this were not true, humanism could not be the basis for an upbeat, constructive way of life. Although it provides no ready-made formulas, it gives a specific point of view. This view makes it easier to work problems through to solution. It prevents us from creating new problems in the process of meeting old ones. This approach to difficulties is made up of at least two elements.
In the first place it is a certain state of mind. This is one of self-reliance and confidence. People act as they do from perfectly natural causes. As these are natural causes rather than occult ones, there is hope of understanding and perhaps even of controlling them. Success or failure does not depend on the conjunction of Mars and Jupiter, on whether it is our lucky day, or on the configuration of crystals. It depends on whether we can see the chains of cause and effect leading up to the present situation and whether we act on the basis of this knowledge. This is both a disciplined and an encouraging philosophy. We are allowed no transcendental alibis and are freed from insoluble riddles. We are encouraged to feel that there is usually some kind of answer to a problem if we could but find it.
Secondly, this approach involves reliance on a common-sense realistic method. There is willingness to use this method on problems whether routine or serious, clear-cut or vague, practical or emotional. This procedure is basically the thoughtful scientific method. It consists of observing keenly, gathering facts, questioning traditional authority, and carefully checking assumptions. It favors keeping the mind open for new knowledge and being ever reluctant to jump to conclusions.
Fixed convictions, prejudices, and dogmas are tested against experience and the objective findings of others. To a humanist, this can be done whether buying a computer or deciding what one's attitude should be toward an alcoholic relative.
The method requires that when there is time and opportunity to gather information, as much should be collected as seems practicable. On the basis of this, temporary conclusions can be drawn and tested. This course can be followed whether choosing a weight-reducing diet or a political candidate. Where there is no time for this, as often in everyday life, we can at least keep ourselves open for new and better ways of meeting difficulties. (That is, if we meet difficulties!)
Problems Involving Other People
Many of the concerns of everyday life are easily resolved by coupling confidence and curiosity. We must admit, however, that more is usually needed when there are complex relationships with other humans.
A humanist tries to look at problems in social relations from a characteristic perspective, that is, as problems in human happiness, problems in working out what will be best for the people concerned. There is no asking who is or is not right or wrong. As a practical person and as one who recognizes no immutable, hard-and-fast categories of good and evil, the interest is in workable solutions and happy relationships. There are not thoroughly good and thoroughly bad people, merely good and bad behavior; and behavior is likewise judged by its effect on oneself and on others. Situations are approached with confidence in, and openness toward, the people involved. The point of view of others is respected; humanists realize that those others have an equal right to their special slants. The aim is to be non-dogmatic, good humored, in a word, democratic.
Humanists try to have more than a broad perspective. From their mental kits are taken the tool of scientific method which can be used on personal as well as on other problems. This tool is particularly useful when dealing with people, for each of us is psychologically complex and subtly different. We know that each has inherited a different genetic makeup—a slightly different DNA—and that this bundle of characteristic traits has in turn been molded by very different life experiences. We understand also how important it is to recognize that people change. They may react very differently when applying for their first job than when applying for their old-age pension check; they respond differently to a domineering in-law than to an attractive potential mate. The humanist concludes from this that the reasons for people's behavior and changes in behavior are peculiar to each person and to each person's history. They realize that people often have no inkling of why they act as they do—and that friends often know even less.
Here, if ever, is a field where the facts are complex and hidden and where it is difficult to check on suppositions. But armed with their point of view, humanists will humbly be prepared to keep their minds open for new insights. They will refrain from laying down hard-and-fast rules as to how friends and relatives will or should act. They will try to understand rather than to judge.
We can easily summarize this general approach to human relations. It is only by accepting people as they are and by trying to understand them that we can live with them successfully.
Some problems involve clear-cut disagreements, impasses, where the people concerned are at cross purposes. Perhaps relatives are disagreeing as to the distribution of inherited property, or perhaps one neighbor is disputing with another the right to keep a rooster in his backyard. (Let us assume that no one follows the impulse to flee!) A suitable approach to these disagreements would be a good-humored, cheerful concentration on finding some kind of acceptable compromise rather than an insistence that someone is wrong and to blame. Facts would be gathered and communication shared. There would be great interest in finding out what was really "eating" the various people involved and why. There would be willingness to explore several possible solutions and confidence that because of the potential good will of everyone, some mutual understanding could be found.
There are times when one has to make an important decision about another person. A humanistic method consists in bringing into focus what is known about this individual. But it does not necessarily end with this. Because we have faith in people, because we realize that they often mature with experience and learn from their mistakes, because we know that past actions are the result of special circumstances, we do not make hard and inflexible judgments on the basis of past actions alone. As Agnes Hocking, founder of Shady Hill School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, once observed, "One shouldn't make negative comments about personal habits because one never knows whether they are now struggling to change them."
A Practical Example
Let us consider a very simple situation where this flexible point of view is put into practice.
Joanne is in her second year in a college fifty miles from her hometown. Last week she met John, a guy she had known in high school. He was wearing the uniform of an express company for which he now works.
Joanne hesitated when John asked her for a date. She said she would call him in a couple of days and let him know.
In high school she had liked John and had enjoyed being with him. But John had got into a scrape just after graduation about two years ago. Joanne never was sure what the whole story was but it included his being arrested in a massage parlor which was also a front for drug dealing and prostitution. John had to spend the weekend in jail because his parents did not help by providing bail, saying he should take responsibility for his own actions.
Joanne's parents had forbidden her to see John any more, and had told her he was a good-for-nothing. John's family was not financially well off, and he went to work rather than to college.
Joanne, after this chance meeting, got to thinking whether she should follow her strong emotional desire and make the date. She tried to consider the matter within a broad framework. In her reading she had come across the thought that "nothing is more certain in modern society than that there are no absolutes."
She began to realize that laws and codes and customs as well as institutions are made for humans and not the other way around. And what human good or end would be served by not associating with John?
Then Joanne might have thought of another principle: that we have an inherent capacity for development. We grow and change. What is true at one time may not be so at another.
John, as any other human, is neither all good nor all bad. And, after all, what is meant by good or bad as applied to a person? There is no hard quality of goodness or badness within people. Each person behaves in many different ways—ways which have different consequences.
Joanne probably frowned when she thought for a few moments of a friend whose behavior was not admirable but who nevertheless felt in the clear because she regularly went to confession.
Joanne went to the telephone and made the date.
A few days after the date Joanne's telephone rang and her mother tearfully reported she had heard that Joanne was seen in a mall with John.
Joanne was tempted to shout back some accusations but she caught herself and said that she would explain everything when she came home that weekend.
This gave her additional time to think the matter out and to ponder the varying points of view concerned, including that of her parents. She decided it would be foolishness to talk with her mother about any relativity in morals but she could discuss other phases of the situation.
When the time came, she told her mother how hard it was on the proverbial dog that had been given a bad name. She mentioned that, while John's behavior may have been bad or that the situation may have been different from what appeared, he did have many good qualities, and that people do change.
Because she recognized the human capacity to change she was able to think of John as an individual. "Goodness" and "badness" are verbal abstractions, though useful verbal shorthand for describing how we feel about the behavior of someone else.
This little anecdote about Joanne and John illustrates that the idea of accepting others, of trying to understand people, involves sometimes the taking of a chance. We take the chance that people will act as we, in our friendly confidence, expect them to.
Living with Others
Most of the time disputes or important decisions about people are not our main problems. Our daily concern is our adjustment to those with whom we work and live. Often we want more than merely to get along; we want to build rich and happy friendships. How does a humanist achieve these with a child, a spouse, an in-law, a neighbor, a boss, an employee, yes, even the plumber?
In the humanistic approach, each individual is accepted as he or she is. Given this person with particular habit patterns, particular slants on life, what is a workable way to get along or even achieve a satisfactory relationship?
Another's right to be different would be respected. Realizing the complexities of humankind we would attempt to understand. We would reroute energies from irritation, boredom, or anxiety into efforts to interpret why a cousin is so irritating, a neighbor so boring, or employees so difficult.
Happiness cannot be brought to those you love unless you accept them and understand them. We need to discover why something upsets, frightens, or irritates. If a spouse is nervous on ladders or mountain roads, there is no laughter, criticism, or lecture on how irrational and neurotic the spouse may be. One tries to understand that the attitude may only change slowly, if at all, as its genesis is learned. Change, if any, often lies in giving the feeling of friendly acceptance.
The humanist's acceptance is not passive. One does not see others merely as they are in their present circumstances or state of mind—of irritation, perhaps! One thinks how the individual might be, free from those tensions, hostilities, fears, which influence individuals to act as they do. Also, the individual may be struggling to correct the very habit or behavior.
If the humanist gives others the kind of understanding which has expectation in it, this is encouragement to help a change in attitude for the better.
But it is not enough to accept and to understand the other person; we must try to accept and understand ourselves.
In any real dispute or disagreement the humanist tries to feel respect for self as for others. There is respect for one's own personal point of view. There is little interest in brooding on whether one is to blame for a past or present difficult situation.
Nothing is of more importance in relationships with others than self-knowledge. Here as nowhere else is the personal value of the scientific method vindicated. One can discover more about self than can ever come in knowing other people. Self-knowledge will produce improvement in relationships more quickly than any insight about others. After an unnecessary quarrel, a reunion with an old friend spoiled by awkwardness on both sides, or after an exasperating inability to stand up for what one believes in front of others, we can ask: Why did I act as I did? This self-examination can be very fruitful.
Living with Oneself
Lying behind the problems of daily life there are often deeper ones, problems of hostility and fear. These are basic attitudes which are reactions to past experiences even dating back to infancy. In this case the search for self-knowledge must be carried on with more persistence and patience.
Within each of us are these fears, tensions, frustrations, and hostilities. It is as though inner demons were urging us to self-destruction. Such is the picture psychiatrists and mystics have often given of humankind.
To free ourselves from these hostilities and fears we have a humanist orientation which gives self-respect and security, inspiration, and independence. This, of course, is not unique to humanists.
As one comes to be tolerant and understanding of oneself there is increasing personal maturity. Frustrations become fewer, hostilities lessen in intensity. By thinking rationally one is better able to master the inner demons. Creative abilities become released. One more nearly approximates the person one desires to be. Deep inner problems surface and are resolved. Anxiety, boredom, and loneliness become less frequent callers. The individual becomes more of a person.
Julian Huxley shared with others his vision of a world available to those who are sensitive to possibilities. In his book The Faith of a Humanist, he explained:
Many human possibilities are still unrealized save by a few: the possibility of enjoying experiences of transcendent rapture, physical and mystical, aesthetic and religious; or of attaining an inner harmony and peace that puts a man above the cares and worries of daily life. Indeed, man as a species has not realized a fraction of his possibilities of health, physical and mental, and spiritual well-being; of achievement and knowledge, of wisdom and enjoyment; or of satisfaction in participating in worth-while or enduring projects, including that most enduring of all projects, man's further evolution.

Is it possible to Get TOO Into It?
Here at J!NX, we've been prattling on about how we Get Into It, really sinking our teeth into our interests, etc. But is there such as thing as being too into it? I present to you Exhibit A, the Star Trek life-sized replica captain's chair. Coming in at $2,200.00 (I know, right?! Only $2,200!), this piece of nostalgia begs us to take a long, painful look at the concept of moderation.
What's funny to me is that saving up the $2,200 probably isn't the biggest challenge one faces with respect to this toy. Now you need to find some floor space to dedicate. If you coughed up the two G's, you are not putting this thing in your basement. No, no, no. You're spending your weekends dressed up as the captain himself, watching your reruns in style from the center of your living room. The footprint on it is quite large (42" x 39") and this chair will be the centerpiece of any room it occupies. If you live in an apartment, it is the centerpiece of your entire residence.
To be fair, not all buyers are putting Exhibit A in their house. I have been discounting the fact that some sales are coming from people that actually own a spaceship. They are simply replacing the OEM captain's chair with this plastic one. From what I understand, instructions are included to help pair up the giant, analog plastic buttons to all your modern day ship functions (e.g. Warp Drive, Deflector Shields, Xbox 360).
I'm not going to waste time exploring the cliché notion of approving this thing with your boyfriend/ girlfriend/ husband/ wife. We all know how that conversation typically goes. Hell, you'd probably have to jump through some hoops to even get a Star Trek calendar on the wall of your family room if your significant other doesn't know what a Tribble is.
But, who am I to talk? Is there really such a thing as going too far? We built a secret door here at the Fortress behind my bookshelf that leads to the game room. Every plausible horizontal surface is adorned with a mini Chewbacca humping a robot, or some type of LEGO structure. Perhaps it is the singularity of the chair that strikes me as eccentric, devoting so many resources to one MEGA-collectible. Or, maybe a small part of me is just jealous that my TV watching is confined to a tan couch with no buttons and that will never allow me to record a log.
Real Life PvP
Twenty J!NX Crew members squared off for a day of epic, real life PvP. I am estimating that over 15,000 tiny spheres of paint were projected forth with a 300psi burst of compressed rage. We captured some of the battle on film, along with some of the damage done to easily bruised skin (mine included). One such bruise that Queue is hosting, perhaps the most painful injury sustained, shall remained unphotographed.
Follow me on Twitter. I finally setup a personal account (separate from the official J!NX twitter) and I have
2 19 followers so far. Help me reach my goal of 5 30!

MINEOLA, L.I. – Monsignor Farrell wrestling continued its winning ways Sunday, capturing the CHSAA State Duals for the first time since 2009, beating host Chaminade to take the title.
The Lions went 6-0 in the tournament, including four victories Sunday, to improve their dual meet record this season to 23-2.
Leading the way was Brian Morales, who went 4-0, winning his first three matches by pin. His performance was made more impressive considering he moved up in weight (from 152 to 160) for his final three wins.
"We're hurting a little. (Heavyweight) Mazen Hassan is injured as is our usual 160-pounder, Ben Paccione," noted Farrell co-coach Phil Squatritto. "So Brian stepped up, as did Duran Kasaj in filling in at 152."
Rich Sisti, the Lions' standout at 220, starred again. The senior, who became the first Island grappler to win the Eastern States Classic last week, was rested from on Saturday but returned to action Sunday and also went 4-0 (three pins, one forfeit).
Farrell opened Sunday with a 52-30 triumph over Holy Trinity, featuring pins by Morales, Chris Manfra (138), Tom Curry (170) and Sisti.
The Lions cruised past St. John the Baptist, 54-30, behind pins from Manfra, Karl Wiesner (145), Kasaj and Morales; then posted a 61-17 rout of Kellenberg Memorial which featured pins from Rob Scopelletti (113), Lane Camaratta (132), Wiesner, Morales, Curry, Mike Newman (195), Sisti and Chris Carbonaro (285).
The final match against perennial power Chaminade ended up being for the tourney title and Farrell pulled it out, 38-36.
The Lions opened with three big wins. Matt Seitz (126) took a 5-2 decision from the Flyers' Christian Briody, who had finished second last year in the Catholic States; Manfra produced a 14-6 major decision victory; and Austin Addis (132) notched a 3-0 decision.
Later, Kasaj rallied from 8-0 down in his 152-pound match and got a reversal that lead to a pin win over John Coppola. Morales took a 16-4 major decision, then Pete D'Agostino (182), Sisti and Carbonaro all scored victories by pin.
"It was a great day for us," said Squatritto, whose club hosts St. Anthony's on Friday at 6 p.m. before taking part in the Mayor's Cup at Columbia University on the weekend.

Good morning. Yeah, I'm the Saints fan that's up all hours, lurking on CSC and checking around the web for any news on our team. I was checking out the AP story from yesterday evening about Drew filing an affidavit backing Jonathan Vilma's lawsuit. Okay, all good. And…then at the bottom of the page I find the comment section.
What is it about these people that renders them unable to understand the differences between a pay for performance system and a pay for injury system? And where in the vast pile of media goo that has been produced regarding Bountyfarce (not going to give this foolishness the credibility of referring to it as a "gate") did butthead GW "admit to running a bounty program?"
Among other comments I saw were "Saints need to admit they were dirty and got caught;" "Saints fans have got to stop claiming their team is innocent;" and "how can they say they didn't do anything in the face of the evidence?" Yeah…that tremendous MOUNTAIN of evidence that Godell and his lackeys have produced. Color me unimpressed. Why isn't everyone comparing that "evidence" against the punishments handed down (which were the largest levied against a professional sports team?)
I know I shouldn't let such foolishness get under my skin, but I just don't get it. Are some people just that blind to the facts? Or can they be so closed minded? I'm the first to admit our team isn't perfect. Yes, we broke the rules by running a program to pay players in an attempt to incentivize them to perform. But you know what? It's okay. I've been there since the beginnings, and I'll be there till the day I die. It doesn't matter what they think. I still have a huge fleur-de-lis on the back window of my pickup (though it's getting faded) and Saints items posted on the wall of my office. That's one thing that will never change!

Title: Problïemy osvoïeniïa pustyn' (Problems of desert management)
Publisher: Akademiïa Naouk Turkmïenii. Institut Pustyn' (Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan, Institute of Deserts), Ylym, Ashkhabad.
|Language: Russian
|BiL Moscow, IG RAN Moscow, KR FAK Alma Ata, WGiSR UW Warsaw, UAM Poznan
|Mainly the arid and semi-arid zones of the ex-Soviet Union; also other arid and semi-arid areas.
|A bimonthly publication
concerned exclusively with deserts, containing the
following types of entry: articles (5 to 12 per issue),
brief notes (up to 10), "Our contribution to the
national economy" (also in the form of brief notes
which, however, have not appeared in these issues),
columns, reviews and discussions. In the years 1971-1978,
one issue in five contained a bibliography of
publications on the deserts of the Soviet Union published
the previous year. The texts are written primarily by
employees of the Institute of Deserts and by other
scientists in the ex-Soviet Union, rarely by Western
specialists. Most of the entries concern ex-Soviet
Central Asia (particularly Turkmenistan) and Kazakhstan.
In 1970, few articles appeared on regions outside of the Soviet Union. These articles became more numerous toward the end of the 1980's and dealt mainly with arid and semi-arid territories of Africa, but included Asia as well. Information on projects of international organizations was also presented. In the 1970's, the magazine published almost exclusively articles on the natural environment and the economic development of deserts, whereas environmental degradation and desertification were only touched on in brief notes, then later in sporadic articles. Since the end of the 1980's, these problems take up 1/4 - 1/3 of the content of this publication.
Remark: The title page presents the title in Turkoman and occasionally in English, the summary is written in Russian, Turkoman and occasionally English, some articles are summarized in English, some in Turkoman, and others in the two languages.

Title: Pustyni SSSR vchïera, sïegodnïa, zavtra (Deserts of the USSR, yesterday, today, and tomorrow)
Publisher: Mysl', Moskva, 352 pp.
|Date: 1977
|Language: Russian
|BiL Moscow, IG RAN Moscow, WGiSR UW Warsaw
|0, 5A1-2, 5D2a
|Central Asia (Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan)
|This monograph concerning the environment of the deserts of Soviet Asia and their economic development demonstrates the considerable success of man in dominating nature. The history of the deserts of the Soviet Union is discussed at length (beginning with the time of Ancient Greece and including Arab travellers). In the chapter entitled "Deserts and man" there is an emphasis on the harmony of traditional agricultural methods in the Central Asian deserts and the local population's profound knowledge of the environment. Subsequent chapters describe in detail the development of the deserts under the Soviet government: development of the mining industry, of irrigation (for cereal cultivation and animal production), of road networks and of railways. A rational approach to the economy of natural resources under socialism improves the use of these resources (p. 286). Technical progress allows the control of individual, exceptional cases of degradation (for example, wind deflation after the laying of pipes - pp. 290-291). Economic development of Central Asian deserts could be accelerated by the diversion of water from Siberian rivers towards this region (a canal 3000 km long from the Ob River to the Caspian Sea, supplying 25 km3 of water per year; a detailed map of planned changes is presented pp. 252-253), which would also save the Aral Sea. As for the size and cost of the investment project, extensive studies would be necessary, using the Karakumy Canal as a model. The bibliography contains exclusively Russian publications.

Edition: Problïemy osvoïeniïa pustyn', N° 3, pp. 3-10, Ashkhabad
|Date: 1985
|Language: Russian
|BiL Moscow, IG RAN Moscow, KR FAK Alma Ata, WGiSR UW Warsaw, UAM Poznan'
|In 1977, during the United
Nations Conference on Desertification a world-wide plan
was prepared up to the year 2000.
The measures taken to combat desertification in the years 1977-1984 and their effectiveness are analyzed here. In addition, the obstacles which prevent the implementation of this programme are identified. The current state of projects and desertification trends for the years to come are discussed. General estimations of the extent of desertification are that 3.475 billion ha, or 75 %, of arable lands in arid regions are affected (out of 4.5 billion ha) and 3.1 billion ha of pasturelands.
Each year 21 million hectares are affected by degradation and 6 million ha are added to deserts; at the same time, local populations have increased from 650 million in 1977 to 850 million in 1983.
During the United Nations Conference, global desertification trends and a forecast for the year 2000 were presented for particular regions of the world and for specific types of land use. A graph was presented showing four trends of the desertification process: ° acceleration of desertification, ° continuation of the process, ° unchanged state of desertification, ° success in combating desertification.
Regional desertification trends
Regional desertification trends: 1- Acceleration of desertification; 2 - Continuation of desertification; 3 - Unchanged desertification; 4 - Success in combating desertification.

|The Soviet Union participated in a number of international programmes in combating desertification. This involvement dates from the 1977 Nairobi Conference where the Soviet delegation participated "constructively". This text presents documents prepared for the conference and often republished subsequently (cf. bibl. entries 46, 70, 115, 139). Other official documents on Soviet experiences are included (cf. bibl. entries 12, 22, 60, 67). The USSR participated in UNEP programmes (with the United States, Kenya, and other countries; FAO is also mentioned), in particular in organizing conferences and courses for specialists from developing countries (rangeland management, sand dune fixation, combating desertification as part of integrated development plans (cf. bibl. entries 20, 49, 71, 100, 144).

outside the USSR, including the "Provisional
Methodology for Desertification Assessment and
Mapping," FAO 1981. To this classification of
processes should be added desertification as a result of
modernization leading to the degradation of soil and
An interesting chart "Areas of Turkmenistan affected by different desertification processes" is presented (pp. 15-16). Information is given on patches of desertification near water points as identified on "Meteor" satellite imagery: in the land between the Murgab and Tedzhen rivers there are 66 patches of an average diameter of 2.21 km, in southeast Karakumy 94 patches of an average diameter of 2.16 km, in central Karakumy 200 patches with and average diameter of 1.32 km. The largest patches exceed 6 km in diameter. According to Landsat imagery (1972) in southeast Turkmenistan patches have a diameter of 1.58 km, roughly the same as was determined on the base Soyuz-22 (1976): 1.72 km. By comparing imagery the rate of degradation can be estimated.

changes in nature as well as to irrational human
behaviour (e.g., roads crossing the reserves). Forests
bordering on the reserves are being continuously
devastated (e.g., in the Shabbaz, Kovïanchik, Akhamysh,
Iumalak and Samanbaï regions). Revegetalization has not
been sufficient to achieve the goals of the programme to
restore vegetation. Suitable conditions must be created
so that vegetation can survive, while protecting it from
salt winds. This goal can be achieved by planting the
Aral Sea shore with halophytes and by planting vegetation
in sheltered spots, e.g., in depressions.
In the end, any attempt to combat desertification will be in vain if the area of irrigated land does not decrease and if the dried up seabed is not planted with vegetation.
After desertification is controlled, the region of the Aral Sea should be predominantly agropastoral bush. The author postulates the reinstatement of animal production, recently in a state of ruin in this region.

|Summary of a doctoral thesis. The arid zone of Russia is located in Kalmyk (80%), in Astrakhan oblast' (district) and southern Volgograd oblast' (20%). The Kalmyk region is the most vulnerable to the danger of desertification given its light rainfall. The level of precipitation can be as little as 120-200 mm, the potential evaporation is more than 1000 mm. There are 14-15 days of dust-storm per year. Six types of desertification exist: degradation of the vegetation, fluvial and wind erosion, salinization, marsh and wetlands formation, and desertification due to human action. The degradation of the vegetation is the dominant type. 47% of the area is in very poor condition. The author presents indicators of four degrees of desertification: light, moderate, strong, and extreme. Five charts have been prepared with numerical indicators of these degrees. The map illustrates types, stages and causes of desertification according to different types of vegetation in rangelands. The author predicts a reduction in the diversity of the flora and of the types of steppe. The map "Methods of combating desertification" illustrates pastoral norms for rangelands and methods of restoring vegetation and soil.
Example of chart: Criteria of desertification due to modernization (simplified - charts for other types of desertification are more complex).

|Aral Sea and southern Siberia
|A text presenting large-scale environmental projects. As a result of the excessive use of the waters of the Amu-Darya and the Syr-Darya rivers, the level of the Aral Sea has decreased by 2 m "during recent years". The total drying up of the lake would cause an ecological catastrophe (lowering of the water table and salinization of groundwater in the region). The cost of transferring water from the Yenissey-Ob (19 million roubles) and from the Yenissey-Ob (33 million roubles) is considered to be very high. For this reason the project was not begun (at the time of publication), as work could not have been completed rapidly. The author recommends lowering the level of the Aral Sea by 10-15 m, which would require the diversion of 21 km3 of river water per year. During the decrease to the first 10 meters, the flow from the Amu-Darya would have to be strictly controlled, and, at the next stage, the supply of water to the Aral Sea should be supplemented by water from Siberian rivers. Compared to previous projects of large-scale water transfer, this author proposes relatively small changes.

|60% of the area of
Kazakhstan is located in the arid zone. There are also
fertile lands which have been systematically developed.
Towards the end of the 1940's and during the 1950's, cultivation and/or pastoral use was begun on previously unused lands. This caused a sudden increase in water erosion and deflation (e.g., in the brown soil zone, seed destruction caused by deflation and erosion varies between 40% and 90%).
The most intense deflation was observed in the years 1955-1958. This phenomenon threatened approximately 1/4 of the territory of Kazakhstan. Wind erosion has been studied in detail in southern Kazakhstan where animal production has been developed.
To combat desertification in southern Kazakhstan, strips of trees and bushes were used as early as the 1940's, with good results. These strips decrease the spring water deficit by preserving snow longer
In Kazakhstan, 90,000 ha (minimum) of lands destroyed by erosion and deflation require redevelopment.

|Aral Sea (Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan)
|For some years the level of
the Aral Sea has lowered by 0.6-0.9 m per year, with
serious ecological consequences. During the years 1975
1981, 29 heavy dust-storms occurred, covering a distance
of 200 450 km around the lake, particularly towards the
west and southwest. Moving sands cover approximately
10,000 km2 of the former seabed, including
islands. The moderating influence of the mass of water on
the climate has decreased (the humidity of the air has
diminished by 2 points). Several estimations of salt
migration are quoted. The water table lowered from 3-5m
to 15-20m over a period of 18-20 years in the southwest
basin of the Aral Sea. In the Amu-Darya basin, 70 km3
of water (87.6%) have been used for irrigation, and in
the Syr-Darya basin, water consumption exceeds by 24%
available resources (due to the recycling of water). In
the 1960's, the Amu-Darya supplied 55 km3 of
water to the sea, in the late 1970's 9-10 km3,
and in 1982 nothing at all. More than 50 lakes with a
total area of 100,000 ha have dried up in the Amu-Darya
delta. The salinity of groundwater below the dried seabed
is 50-100 grams/litre.
Economic losses in the years 1974, 1975, 1977 and 1982 are estimated to be 1.7 thousand million roubles, due to a decrease in cereal harvests. There is a project to create polders for the cultivation of sorghum, maize and Sudan grass, and for the economic development of selected parts of the seabed. The cost of revegetalizing 120,000 ha of the seabed will come to 56 million roubles.

A lot of people give Slayer's Reign in Blood more credibility than it deserves. Of course I'm not forgetting the impact that record had on the metal scene, and it was definitely one of the most influential albums of all time, no doubt, but when compared to this gem, it seems like just a generic thrash record, to me anyway.
I should note that while I love thrash, it doesn't come anywhere close to being my favorite genre. I do enjoy the brutal whiplash of Slayer and Sepultura, as well as the melodic thrash/speed combo of Nevermore, and also the 90's neo-thrash of Pantera and Machine Head – but I don't think any of those bands could top this (except for maybe Nevermore who truly are an amazing band). While those bands were writing songs about Hell and Satan (well, Slayer anyways), Megadeth tackled the more realistic issues of drugs, sex and politics (putting emphasis on that last one). Peace Sells… was their 2nd full-length record (first on Capitol) and the one that propelled Megadeth into metal stardom. It was here that they released one of their biggest hits, "Peace Sells", my favorite Megadeth song by far. Sure, there were great songs like "Hangar 18″ and "Symphony of Destruction" in later years – but none of which had such energy and honesty as this thrasher. Offering such memorable lyrics as "when there's a new way/I'll be the first in line/but it better work this time" this was probably the catchiest offering of the album. Of course, who could forget the other single, "Wake Up Dead" – a song which offered a decadent solo halfway through that lasted about a minute. And of course we have the faster-paced "Devil's Island" and "My Last Words" – two of the best Megadeth songs in my opinion.
In reality, there's not much to complain about here. The remastered version includes the original mixes of all the songs before they were re-recorded for the Capitol version in 1986 – displaying a few differences from those of the final version. This extends the album length, which was a bit short, and also provides a better sound. It isn't worth buying if you have the original, obviously, but it's nice to have. All in all, I think Dave and the guys really had something special with this gem. A metal milestone that raised the bar for quality thrash.

Well for one; the Coaches that we've had here, when we played against sum i used to think that Shula could take there players & they (coaches) could take Miami's players & Shula could still beat them. But after he left & are drafting hit skid row for numerous years back to back. I keep wondering how come there was such a big turn-over in the head coaches for Miami, it was obvious they were not good & and we would rifle in different head coaches. Ok when Shula called it quits, there was a tear-but my life (i didn't think) would be turned upside down, yet worse was about to happen.
1.) Thank-you coach Philbin-Ireland. You may have saved a life, mine lol. To follow are the Rag tag coaches that for one reason or another never, head coached an NFL team in there lives again.
A.) Jimmy Johnson he was the best of the group that disapointed me to no end .
B.) Dave Wannstedt this guy needless to say never should have been a head coach but cuz of a shortage on coaches no one else was available. he wood win just enuff to keep us from the elite in the draft (QB) we always needed a first rd QB but were never in a position to get said QB. only cuz he was a defensive coach & his winning precentage, was a bit better then Shula's. Had hope for him.
Anyway here we go - #1 George Wilson-66-69=15-39
#2 Don Shula - 70-95=259-196 opps 2 ties 257 wins thats what i'm talking about.
#3 Jimmy Johnson - 96-99=36-28
#4 Dave Wannstedt - 00-04=42-31 read (B) above. +1 AFC Division Championship
#5 Jim Bates - 2004=3-4
#6 Nick Saban - 05-06= 15-17 another blunder. Ty Ireland & Philbin
#7 Cam Cameron - 2007=1-15 & i really thought we should have gave those first 15 games to Saban.
#8 Tony Sparano - 08-11(3)=29-32 with an 11-5 season in there, + 1 AFC Division Championship.
#9 Todd Bowles - 2011 (3)=2-1 the players love him!
#10 Coach Joe Philbin 2012=7-9
Bowles had the highest winning percentage of any coach but not much experience at all.
Hey uno what this is all fluid under the bridge, when we play sum of the teams that we played last year surprise Texas being one in preseason we will shock them to no end. the Colts will be a pleasure thanks to the Ireland Effect. Because at one time he's the one that got Dallas there big'man on defense.
As was suggested at an earlier time that our 3rd over all #1 pick "MIGHT BE A BUST" in DE disguise. I'm not quite sure how to answer that but if you look real close, Mr. Wake is not getting any younger. I for one I back Mr. Jeff 100% on getting the players needed once he knew what we're looking for.
I like our coach & our GM, I simply love the way our team is coming together, Im in TUNE with the way my chest is expanding & contrasting.

Habit reversal training is a behavioral therapy that is effective in reducing tics associated with Tourette's syndrome as well as troublesome behaviors associated with impulse control disorders such as trichotilomania (hair-pulling) and pathological skin picking.
Habit reversal training has four main components:
- Awareness training: greater attention is brought to tics and other behaviors so that the affected person can gain better self-control.
- Development of a competing response: competing responses help to replace the old tic or impulsive behavior. Usually the competing response is the opposite of the tic or impulsive behavior and is something that can be carried out for longer than just a couple of minutes.
- Building Motivation: the patient is encouraged to make a list of all of the problems that were caused by the behavior. Parents and friends are also asked to praise the person for their accomplishments thus far.
- Generalization of New Skills: patients are encouraged to practice their new skills in a range of different contexts, not just those that they have mastered to date.

Norman Reedus Hints "Walking Dead" Love Interests in NYLON Guys March 2014
With his horror-drama series "The Walking Dead" continuing to be a small screen hit, Norman Reedus fronted the March 2014 issue of NYLON Guys magazine.
During his interview with the publication, the 45-year-old actor chatted about his character Daryl Dixon and revealed details about his tennis playing days.
Highlights from Mr. Reedus' interview are below. For more, be sure to visit NYLON Guys!
On Daryl's love interest plans:
"Sometimes they suggest this or that, but if Daryl's going to get busy with another character it has to be just right. The producers are smart, man. Smart enough to know that Daryl can't have the kind of love interest that you might think. I feel pretty strongly about it."
On Daryl's rise to fame:
"That may be the most bizarre part of all of this. I don't think any actor ever envisions being an action figure. It's one of those Hollywood bonuses no one tells you about."
On his acting:
"I was born to play the bad guy, I guess. I have a suspicious look to me. Plus, I think a lot about the reasons people fight. Their back is against the wall; They're bullied; They're angry."
On his tennis days:
"I studied with a coach who approached me at a tournament and offered to train me because he thought I had potential. He came to my house, spoke with my mom, and that was that. I was off. I was good, man. I played the junior tour circuit, against guys who had all the fancy equipment and the shoes and everything. I was in, like basketball shoes and had a toy racket. I was surprised I made it as far as I did."

The Flagship Problem: slim phones, slim batteries
I find myself missing my old 3310. Gone are the days when I could play snake for hours on end without having to worry about having to give my phone a "mid-day charge". I love modern smartphones and am currently rocking a HTC sensation, but these high end phones also carry around a sense of worry, will the battery make it through the day? This worry leads me to not using the phone to its full potential, turning features off and being afraid to use apps and games for too long just encase.
When Joe Blogs walks into a carrier/phone shop, a slim phone always looks great and battery life slips the mind. I can sympathies with phone producers; a slim phone will sell better than a similarly spec'd brick and they are only trying to compete in a market where slim is sexy. By the time the average user discovers their battery woes its far too late, they are locked in to a contract. The problem still persists: I want a decent battery life, I don't want to buy expensive battery extending cases, I am willing for my phone to pack on a few pounds.
What is the solution? I don't particularly want to carry around a 3310 and a smartphone, I still want a powerful smartphone and I'm not willing to pay a huge amount for a extended battery pack. Its nearly the end of my contract now, so at the moment it is looking like i may have to compromise and get the galaxy note and pull out my old 3310 back into service. I guess i can wait and see what the GS3 has to offer but the future is not looking well charged.
(Thanks for reading and I apologies in advance for any bad spelling or grammatical errors)

Burning Man is a Bacchanalian celebration in the American desert where people gather to celebrate humanism at its decadent best. Folks create outrageous costumes, walk around naked, enjoy body painting, and often participate in public sexual outrages and fetishes. Everyone gets totally miserable with very fine sand everywhere, and water nowhere. The exhausted celebration ends with the burning of a community-created, multi-story, wood sculpture of a man being set aflame for all to enjoy. [CLICK ANY PHOTO TO VIEW ALL FULL SIZE]

There's some great playing on this record, and the whole effect is so visceral and genuine, it makes you want to scream along with it. If you like heavy, soulful, powerful music, listen to this disc. It's not for everyone, but this is one of my favorite albums of all time.
