Armed Forces International News - February 2011
Obama Signs New Start Nuclear Weapons Treaty
Posted by Armed Forces International's Political Correspondent on 03/02/2011 - 15:50:00
The President of the United States has signed a US/Russian arms treaty that, once put into effect, will decrease each nation's nuclear stockpile.
Barack Obama's move mirrors that of his Russian colleague, Dmitry Medvedev, at the end of January 2011. Once each has a copy of the other's signed document, the New Start treaty will be implemented.
The 'Start' in New Start condenses down the phrase 'Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty' and it represents the follow-up agreement to the previous Start treaty, which ran between 1991 and 2009.
US Senate approval for New Start was delivered at the end of 2010, while Russian Parliament gave its blessing soon after.
New Start Weapons Agreement
Under the terms of the New Start weapons agreement, neither the US nor Russia can possess any more than 1,550 nuclear warheads each. Neither can they have anything over a maximum of 800 nuclear weapons launch units – a broad categorisation that includes ground-based launchers, but also US Navy/Russian Navy submarines, and USAF/Russian Air Force nuclear bombers.
Therefore, limitations will be placed on ground, sea and air-based nuclear-capable technologies.
An agreement clause gives the US the right to inspect Russia's nuclear stockpile, and vice versa for Russia.
New Start: Nuclear Weapons
Prior to the New Start nuclear agreement, the US and Russia could have a maximum of 2,200 warheads, so the revision represents approximately a 30 per cent drop in nuclear weapons totals.
The Obama signing took place within a gathering of key US government officials including Robert Gates and Hillary Clinton - Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State, respectively.
US Senator John Kerry issued a statement following the event, in which he emphasised its benefits.
"The new treaty represents an important milestone in arms control agreements between the United States and Russia", he began.
"Anytime we reduce the number of nuclear weapons deployed by these two countries, we make the world a safer place for everyone.
"When the treaty enters into force this weekend, it will signal to other nations that the United States and Russia are working together to reduce their arsenals and stop the spread of nuclear weapons technology to other countries", Kerry added.

Wiki Headlines
18th Nov: We've switched servers and will be updating the old code over the next couple months, meaning that several things might break. Please report issues here.
main index
Lord Quirini of the Ice Chimps: "Do you have any last words...is it...Stacy?"
Stacy Mirafuentes (turning into an eagle): "Just three: Monkey...go...boom!" (flies away while Quirini takes banana bomb to the face)In 1991, IBM and Microsoft released a game for MS-DOS and simply titled it Gorillas. The actual file was Gorilla.BAS. Compiled in the Quick-Basic language, it was a very simple game in which players had gorillas on buildings and took turns throwing exploding bananas at each other. Players had to account for angles, velocities, and wind speed to see who could blow up more of the other guy's gorillas before time ran out. Add a few motherboard beeps to the 1812 overture, and the end result was awesome. Except....it wasn't good enough for the think tank Dozerfleet Productions, home of the Gerosha Chronicles.In 2003, a full 12 years after the game's release, the Dozerfleet founder proposed in an open chat room the possibility for a film based on the Gorillas. That premise was met with mostly scoffing, and the others at TeenChat dismissed the pitch as trolling. The basic idea was proposed yet again in 2004/2005-ish on The Ring Forum at EZBoard; only to be laughed at there as well. Undeterred, the idea sat on a shelf until 2012. It has now been developed almost to the point that a rough draft script can be forged just from the wiki article at DozerfleetWiki. Q-Basic Gorillas
The initial story revolves around ancient Africans who were sent to protect powerful ancient relics from being captured by evil exiles from Canaanite nations who fled after their homes were destroyed by the Israelites. The Africans failed to protect all the relics, and one of them turned the relic guardians and their enemies into humanoid primates. The different primates splintered off into different factions. The good guys turned into Gorillas, and assembled their own underground kingdom under the rule of the wise Queen Qilanta of the Q-Base Temple. Centuries later, the evil Ice Chimps want to steal the most powerful of the remaining relics - the Omni Transmogrin - so they can turn all of humanity into cats and Take Over the World. The current Topaz Division of Gorillas sent to battle the Ice Chimps in North America is headed by Col. Flix, who was declared a war hero before he even properly enlisted due to his rescue of the Gorilla princess Quilmara.Meanwhile, young office intern Stacy Mirafuentes receives a package from her uncle. She does not at first realize that he had just bestowed upon her guardianship of the Gorillas' sacred artifact. Her mother, boyfriend, and everyone at her church are soon attacked by the Ice Chimps and turned into cats, as the Chimps battle with her to steal the Omni. They eventually do so, but not before the Gorilla known as Burrpatch stops them from killing Stacy. As the Chimps await the arrival of their leader Lord Quirini to begin the felining of America, Stacy finds herself a reluctant ally to the Q-Basic Gorillas.
She later discovers that a bug has been placed on her that tracks her movements, and decides to leave the Topaz Q-Base so that she doesn't lead the Chimps right to the Gorillas' home. The Gorillas manage to get the bug off her leg as they are out of town and away from base, but it sends out a distress signal before self-destructing. Several Ice Chimps descend from the sky and attack. Lord Quirini discovers that he needs Stacy to make the Omni function properly, and orders his Chimps to kidnap her. With Col. Flix missing, the Gorillas feel they're down on their luck. But they decide to face the Chimps in an epic showdown of banana bombs and buildings collapsing. Just when all hope seems lost, the missing Col. Flix arrives to even the odds. Together, Stacy and Flix must find a way to defeat Quirini and revert to human everyone the Chimps have turned into cats - even if they have to destroy the Omni to do it! Orangutans of FireA sequel was thought up almost immediately after the original's plot description went online. This story takes place just months after the first one. Rob and Stacy are getting married, and Burrpatch is attending the wedding. However, it's revealed that Diamond Division's Col. Veyour has had a Face-Heel Turn and is now working with the Ice Chimps.Making matters worse, Veyour has friends in low places in Mexico. He also helps the Ice Chimps, reeling from the loss of Lord Quirini as a leader, to unite with the Pyrangutans. The combined forces proceed to threaten a complete takeover of Mexico, and employ drug cartels to assist them.
After the presidents of both the US and Mexico are infected with a parasite, Col. Flix is forced to take them to the Q-Base in Africa to find a cure. Topaz Headquarters is taken over by the US military, and the remaining Gorillas are forced into hiding in Mexico to regroup while Flix is gone. When Flix returns, he and the Ruby Gorillas must help the Topaz Gorillas turn the tide in Mexico. They finally succeed and killing Lord Incendimore and getting the drug lords to abandon the Pyrangutans, but the Ice Chimps and Veyour decide to regroup and claim the real prize: Jerusalem.Veyour and company waste little time fleeing the scene, with a few dead Gorillas left behind in Mexico. Flix and company want to give chase, but agree that they need to fix things at their base before they can do anything else. Beneath the Golden DomePicking up a very short while from where the second story left off, the third reveals that both Solomon and Muhammad knew about the Ethermangs. However, they kept hush about it both because they knew that the Ethermangs could not be controlled. Col. Veyour, however, believes he can convince the Ethermangs to work for him, just as he finally got the Ice Chimps to work for him. He proves dead wrong.The Ethermangs take over the remaining Pyrangutans and Ice Chimps both, and set all their forces on destroying Israel. First, the Ethermang leader Prince Duqat demands that the Pyrangutans destroy all Gorilla bases around the world. This strategy seems successful at first; except enough Gorillas survive the assault to form a ginormous army that descends on the greater area of Israel and Palestine to finish the fight.It ultimately leads to a nighttime battle inside of a cavernous tomb located underneath the Dome on the Rock mosque, with structural damage to the mosque after the tomb begins collapsing. The Gorillas are forced to make a last stand against Prince Duqat and the Ice Chimps.
The story was deliberately structured to be "in the spirit of" Transformers and Battleship meet Rise of the Planet of the Apes. A fourth installment, Civil War, has been proposed. It would have Col. Flix get a promotion to general, with his colonel spot being replaced by the David Caruso-like Col. Relish.

He thought it was a cabaret, not the Cabaret.
For an alleged 2013 attack on his girlfriend.
Following his arrest last Friday.
After posting $25,000 bail.
After getting kicked out of rehab.
Stemming from an altercation with a limo driver.
Well, it happened.
In L.A.
Because mind your own business.
"You just turned it really bad."
Okay, she's America's sweetheart again.
She also "stated that she was a U.S. citizen and that she was allowed to stand on American ground."
He turned himself in.
Come on.
He's totally off the hook though.
He got pepper-sprayed.

But not that Omar.
After an altercation with a sound engineer.
For civil disobedience, not anything bonkers.
For at least a couple of weeks.
And there's a mug shot.

The Amplification of barley EST-SSR in wild emmer list is available at the CAGE site wheat (http://mendel.lafs.uq.edu.au:8080/ICIS5/GWIS_LBY6.

Figure 2. Near Neighbour phylogenetic trees of wheat germplasm accessions based on polymorphism at barley and wheat EST-SSR loci. The genotypes include 85 wild emmer wheat lines, 9 durum cultivars and 2 Ae. tauschii accessions. 2 Analysis of population structure A neighbour joining dendrogram was constructed from the pair-wise genetic distance calculated using barley EST-SSR. The analysis divided the wheat accessions into 7 major groups of genetically related individuals, and correctly placed the Ae. tauschii and durum cultivars in separate unique groups from the wild emmer accessions (Figure 2A). In comparison, a similar analysis with wheat EST-SSR grouped the accessions into 6 groups (Figure 2B). Group memberships were different, and the genetic distance matrices showed no significant association, as established by Mantel test (Mantel 1967). This indicates that the barley EST-SSR markers explored a different spectrum of the diversity present in wild emmer wheat. CONCLUSION The major finding in this study is that EST-SSR markers derived from cDNA sequence of an elite malting barley cultivar (Morex) can be used to characterise genetic diversity in a wild, distantly related species, such as the wild emmer wheat. As the function of many of the transcripts can be predicted through homology searches from the genomic databases, the information has important implications for characterising the A genome of wild emmer wheat, identification of genes associated with domestication and understanding the functional basis of genetic diversity.

I'm a pretty big believer in buying healthy food but even I admit that it can be difficult. With fast food costing sometimes as little as $1, there are times when it can be very difficult to stay healthy while on a tight budget. A few months ago, I asked two of my favorite bloggers to share their best tips for eating your favorite Latin foods on a budget.
Today it's even easier to do it, though, thanks to the Environmental Working Group combining forces with anti-hunger group Share Our Strength to create a great healthy shopping guide for low-income households. And, luckily for us, quite a few of our foods made it onto their "Good Food on a Tight Budget" list. Check it out, below, to find out how to buy healthy Latin food while staying cost-conscious.

Often called the Last Frontier, this area is 13 miles of beautiful beaches from where Highway 12 ends to the Virginia state line. This off road area does require a 4WD vehicle. Sweet retreat is a spacious home set amongst loblolly pines and is the only home on the entire block ( unbelievable privacy ). Upper sun deck , hot tub, playroom with pool table and bar, huge kitchen and great room with fireplace are but a few of the amenities.
Stroll along the wide beaches and search for treasured seashells, sand dollars and sea glass left behind by the changing tides. Take pictures of the wild mustang horses who have roamed the beaches since the early 1500's when Spanish ships went aground and lost their equestrian cargo to the wonderous dunes of Carova.. (Carolina and Virginia = CAROVA).
- Suitability:
- Long-term Renters Welcome
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets considered
- wheelchair inaccessible
About Linda Lloyd
We were childhood sweethearts who have been married since after high school. We purchsed in Carova Beach because of the beauty, solitude and peacefulness. Being able to drive on the beach and enjoy many freedoms was extremely attractive to us. We valued bringing our children to this area where they could enjoy a more calm, 'back to nature' type existence.
Linda Lloyd purchased this house in 1988
Why Linda Lloyd chose Carova
Carova Beach is a photograher's or natuarlist's dream come true. Not only do the horses 'own' the beaches and surrounding dunes, but we have foxes, deer, egrets, dolphins, to mention a few. All this beauty and only 9 miles south to a nightlife that would please anyone.
What makes this house unique
By day enjoy the clean beaches, strolling, swimming, sunning and shelling. At night take the family into Corolla for quality dining, family fun . You are getting the best of both worlds...................

Paris - While the United States, Canada, Brazil, Argentina and China and many other countries have warmly embraced genetically modified crops, Europe remains the world's big holdout.
Could this be about to change? New European Union rules now seek to clear up years of internal deadlock that could, in theory, lead to widespread cultivation of GM foods. But the fight is far from over.
The EU's great GM debate pits two powerful forces against each other: green campaigners concerned about the effect of the crops on health and the environment, and the agri-business lobby, which argues that Europe, by resisting a technology that boosts yields and rural incomes, is losing its place at the forefront of agricultural innovation.
Only five EU countries grow GM crops at all -- Spain, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Romania and Slovakia -- and in such tiny quantities that they accounted for less than 0.1 percent of global GM cultivation last year, according to the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications, which monitors the industry.
Europe's fragmented politics, diverse landscapes and smaller scale farming traditions have made it less compatible with the mass-farming techniques in the Americas and China. Only one type of modified crop - a herbicide-resistant maize - is approved for cultivation in the EU, compared to 96 commercial licenses granted in the United States since 1990, although Europe does import more than 30 million tonnes of GM grain for animal feed each year.
"Europe has perversely condemned itself to importing crops which its farmers could grow locally and banished thousands of bright scientists to other shores for reasons that are scientifically bogus," claims Brandon Mitchener, a Brussels spokesman for Monsanto, one of the US agribusinesses leading the push for GM crops.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Rewriting the sins of the father
Family reunion 70 years in the making
The secret Joseph Knowles spent most of his life hiding from his family finally arrived at James Armstrong Richardson International Airport on Friday evening.
His name is Peter Westcott, from England
When he stepped off the plane, Sheila Cramer greeted him like the long-lost family that he is.
Late last fall in her Fort Rouge home, Sheila first learned about the Second World War family secret Peter represented. A researcher from the genealogical website Canadian Roots contacted Sheila and explained a man from England was searching for information about his father, Joseph Knowles, a long-dead Canadian soldier he never knew. The searcher, Peter Westcott, had spent almost a third of his nearly 70 years searching war graves across Europe for the final resting place of the father his unwed mother told him had been killed in 1944.
The researcher contacted Sheila because her maiden name was Knowles, like the long-dead father the man in England was looking for.
"I agreed" to co-operate, Sheila recalled in an email she sent me last month, "even though I am legally blind and unable to see much of anything. I thought it couldn't hurt."
As it turned out, it would hurt.
Over the phone last fall, the researcher guided Sheila and her magnifying glass to the Canadian Roots website and the photo of the young dark-haired soldier's smiling face. Even with only 10 per cent sight in her right eye Sheila recognized the man in the photo.
He was her father, too.
"Some moments of silence followed," Sheila wrote, "and then I said softly, in wonder, 'I have a brother.' "
A half-brother, actually, because Sheila and Peter had different mothers. The part that would hurt Sheila, and Peter too, was the secrecy around that and how it kept them apart for nearly a lifetime.
Peter wept alone in the dark when he learned the truth.
He wept because the truth was his father hadn't been killed overseas fighting with the Princess Patricia Canadian Light Infantry when Peter was a baby, as his mother had told him. The truth is, in the spring of 1942, Joseph married a lass in Scotland named Alexa. At the same time, and for at least two years after, he carried on a relationship in the south of England with a woman named Freda Westcott; an affair that had started at least eight months earlier judging by the first of more than half a dozen love letters.
"All my love, Joe," was the way he signed that first letter to Freda, dated Dec. 27, 1941. Obviously, Joseph didn't give her all his love.
On March 15, 1944, a boy named Fraser was born in Edinburgh to Joe's wife, Alexa, That was four months after Peter was born to Freda.
By 1946, Joseph, the Canadian solider who was supposed to have died two years earlier, returned to Manitoba to farm and be with his Scottish wife and other son. Sheila was born the following year.
Meanwhile, Peter would grow up believing a war grave would be the only place he would find his father because Freda showed him a telegram confirming Joe's death. Peter now believes his mother knew all along his father hadn't died.
After she died, Peter discovered the photographs his mother had of his father -- including one showing Joe tossing his baby son in the air -- were gone. In their place was a batch of love letters in Joe's now-faded handwriting.
It's as if Freda wanted her son to understand how much affection his mother and father shared when they could. How precious those moments of love were in that time of war.
Freda Westcott died in Devon in 1995. By that time, Joseph Knowles really was dead. He died in 1985. His wife, Alexa, followed in 2004, probably not knowing the truth and certainly not sharing it. Their son Fraser -- Sheila's only known brother at the time -- died in 2007.
Yet, through all that sadness wrapped in secrecy, there is a happy ending.
"I thought I was alone," Sheila said. "And now here was Peter."
As for Peter's search for his father's grave, there isn't one. Joseph Knowles, the farmer who loved to grow roses, had his ashes spread in his rose garden in Carman.
Of course, Peter wasn't really looking for his father's grave, anyway.
He was really searching for family. And a sense of peace.
Now that no one else can be hurt, and secrecy is over, I'm sure Joe and Freda would be overjoyed to know their son has finally found both.

November 29, 2014
RENO, Nev. (AP) - For the second time in a year, improper disposal of ashes from a fireplace or wood stove is being blamed for a dangerous wildfire that threatened dozens of homes south of Reno.
Authorities said Wednesday they don't know who's to blame but investigators were able to pinpoint the area of origin even as firefighters battled the blaze that burned 10 acres and forced evacuations of dozens of homes in Washoe Valley last Thursday.
Truckee Meadows Fire Chief Charles Moore says when the investigation is complete, he'll present the findings to Washoe County prosecutors to consider criminal charges.
Improper disposal of ashes also was the cause of a fire on the edge of the valley in January that destroyed 29 homes and was blamed for the death of a 93-year-old woman.

In the early days, we used to apply one size fits all methodology because we didn't know better (see figure 1). We used to yo-yo between methods but in 2002, most of us in the open source world had gone "all agile" whilst the enterprise was mainly "all waterfall and all outsourcing". Under such a model, the IT organisation is one large department and one attitude. Be warned, single methods fail to deal with evolution and tend to run into excessive change control cost overruns.
Figure 1 - circa 2002 - One size rules all, OK!
By 2004, in the open source world, we had learned that one size fits all didn't work. We had started to work towards the use of multiple methods. We knew agile was suitable in the early stages of evolution of an act but we also knew six sigma was better for more evolved activities. The foolhardy amongst us had started to organise by this bimodal fashion with groups such as common services or systems and development (see figure 2). Under such a model, the IT organisation is two groups and two polar opposite (usually competing) attitudes. Be warned, bimodal structures tend to fail to hand over activities and lead to lack of industrialisation of common components, spaghetti junction and platform rewrites.
Figure 2 - circa 2004 - Bimodal rules all, OK!
By 2005 to early 2006, many of us had learned that the jump between the novel and the industrialised was too large. We needed a third group and a different set of methods / techniques and attitudes to cope with this. Structures that took this into consideration started to appear, in many cases we often formalised the "missing" group in our bimodal structures e.g. we went from development and common services to development, framework and common services. This three party system was applicable across the entire business as a pioneer, settler and town planner structure (see figure 3). Under such a model, the IT organisation is three groups and three overlapping attitudes which can be made to work in concert through the use of theft (i.e. enforced evolution). Be warned, such trimodal structures still tend to create large groups creating communication and other issues.
Figure 3 - circa 2005 / 2006 - Trimodal rules all, OK!
By 2007 to 2009, we had learned that we needed to divide our organisations into self organising cell based structures e.g. a starfish model, two pizza models etc (see figure 4). Under such a model, the IT organisation is many small groups but no specific attitude and no means of dealing with evolution. Be warned, whilst many of the communication and growth issues are better handled, the lack of means of managing evolution can create problems.
Figure 4 - circa '07 to '09 - Cell based structure rules all, OK!
By 2012 to early 2013, a few of us had started to look at combining both cell based structures and trimodal concepts, heavily using techniques developed in the military to create more adaptive structures (see figure 5). Under such a model, the IT organisation is many small groups and three overlapping attitudes which can be made to work in concert through the use of theft (i.e. enforced evolution).
Figure 5 - circa 2012 / 2013 - Adaptive structure rules all, OK!
By 2014 ... be warned, this process is ongoing. The above leads naturally to administrative structures (covering training, culture and attitude) along with what can be loosely described as "battle groups" formed to implement a line of business. The closest there is to something that remotely resembles this sort of structure can be found in military organisations. The majority of organisations are still at the very beginning of one department and one attitude.
Three things to note ...
1) Don't think for one second anyone knows the best way of organising stuff - we don't. All we know are better ways than the past. Anyone who tells you they have the perfect way is talking horse.
2) Mapping an environment really helps with organisation or at least the exploration of the possible ways we might organise.
3) The use of mapping and high levels of situational awareness is a necessity for coping with evolution unless you have exceptionally talented people who understand that things evolve (i.e. they have their own mental models, can cope with inertia etc). Without extremely good situational awareness then I'd suggest you go for a cell based structure and hire rock star developers who work well with others.

Olympic women's shot put champion Nadzeya Ostapchuk has been stripped of the gold medal she won at the London Games a week ago after testing positive for a banned anabolic steroid.

DEFINITION of 'New York Dollar'
The buying power of a U.S. dollar in the city of New York. The New York dollar is calculated by subtracting the additional cost of living in New York, and then adding back the additional income residents tend to command as a result. Once calculated, the remaining amount is a rough estimate of what your dollar is worth in this very expensive city.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'New York Dollar'
Living in New York is much more expensive than most other places in America. A dollar earned and spent in this city does not go as far, and once this is taken into account, you are left with the New York dollar. For example if you take $1 and subtract the additional cost of housing (15 cents), taxes (5.2 cents), basic costs (4.1 cents) and lifestyle (13.3 cents), and then add additional wages paid (16 cents), you are left with the buying power of a dollar in New York: 100 - 15 - 5.2 - 4.1 - 13.3 + 16 = 78.4 cents.

Travelmath helps you find the closest airport to any city, as well as a list of smaller local airports. You can use these pages to plan your trip and figure out the easiest way to get to your destination. Many times there are multiple airports near the city you want to visit, so you can often find a cheaper flight into a different airport. This is especially useful if you are getting a rental car, since it might be better to drive a bit farther in order to save money on airfare. If you're booking an international flight, you probably want the closest major airport, otherwise if you're a pilot you may be looking for a local airport. Use this tool along with the flight distance pages to plan your travel.

nothing better in the early morning hours in a snowy Maine February day than going into a wonderful bakery and having a freshly made rhubarb and cheese danish with freshly brewed and steaming dark roast from Carpe Diem roasters!! Yum yum yum.... And then I brought my sleeping wife a chocolate croissant that she described as the best she has had in a long time! What a way to start the day.
