With the magnitude of the subsidies to be protected, renewables are now enshrined in the ever expanding EU subsidy mess. The Common Agricultural Policy will be overhauled before these get controlled.
The US can thank the Republicans for preventing this happening here.
Although there is very little to be thankful to Republicans for lately.
Although something very similar happened in the US with ethanol.
Except for doing their unpopular damnest to reduce growth of federal defict and unsustainble gigantic national debt (de facto close to 20 TRILLION $$$)
cf. growing global food prices while farmers get subsidies for growing not wheat and rye, but...fuel.
The Whole of Europe's Energy policy is a push me pull you of vested interests. Unsustainable, Useless, Clap trap,
Ah me. What about Iraq and Halliburton?
What about it?
What about Iraq and Halliburton? Bit of a strange question in relation to the thread
While I associate the consumption of wood with deforestation perhaps this will be a good use of all the trees killed off by the pine beetle in the western US and Canada.
Clearly not an article based on good science or fact. Most biomass for heat and power generation made available today is either co-products from industries making other climate-smart products such as timber and/or paperboard-based packaging or from wood that otherwise would be left to rot and thus release its carbon anyhow.
Good examples can be found in for example Sweden and Finland where managed forests provides lots of biomass for heat and power generation as well as for the wood products and paper industries in a symbiotic system, all this while maintaining or increasing forest carbon inventories.
I am afraid your post does not provide much science or facts either.
Back in 2005 our landlord who was green from his feet to the top of his head hired a guy from nearby university to make calculations for new heating system. It was to be based on wood pellets as they call them in Germany. I was in doubt if the calculations they have made about price of the fuel was correct and in two years time I was proven right - the price of pellets which at the beginning was quite good comparing with oil or gas increased to levels that made the whole exercise unfeasible.
This to me means that assertion of TE in the article that some wood is imported specifically to be simply burnt i.e. instead of being used up byproduct of another process it is produced i.e. cut to be burnt.
It is quite likely that byproducts become main product because of the price they can reach on the market thus making originally main process not viable - it is more effective and profitable to make pellets only than to produce stuff and from waste pellets.
I would love to see figures TE used to write the article. Alternatively you can try to provide yours.
Except that but for those 2 countries there are hardly any forests left in Continental Europe.(esp. in EU)
Not correct, for example Germany has a larger forest products production than Sweden. Other EU countries like France, Austria, Portugal, Spain, Slovakia, Czech Republic etc have a very respectable forest base, partly with very high productivity. The opportunity in Europe to utilize waste biomass to a larger extent is considerable. See for example the RENEW study, www.renew-fuel.com/ , for detailed assessment of both forestry and agricultural biomass potentials.
the price advantage of pellets compared to oil and gas is actually getting better every day. Here the example of Austria: http://www.propellets.at/wpcms/wp-content/uploads/201212e_jadupr_gop.pdf
So I congratulate your landlord to a smart decision.
Most people forgot Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia also have extensive forests. Not to mention European Russia; though, their forests are poorly managed.
The problem is not so much what is happening now, as what will happen as the result of the EU's policy in the future.
As it stands, there are subsidies for cutting trees down, but not for planting them. Imagine what that will do to forest stock in places like Romania. It should eb the other way round.
Unless the policy results in more sequestration of carbon by growth of wood, there is no way it can possibly save carbon emissions.
The problem is that the policy incentives for burning wood are not confined to co-products, so they will encourage people to go out and burn any trees they can get their hands on, whereas it ought to be encouraging people to PLANT more trees.
Furthermore, EU is now proposing huge incentives to use co-products extremely inefficiently and expensively to make liquid biofuels instead of just burning them for energy, which is relatively much cheaper and more efficient.
Sweden and Finland are not typical of EU forest planning: imagine what will happen in Bulgaria.
It seems as if the EU cannot see the wood through the trees.
This article is biased. It neglects that the rise of woody biomass from Brazil - where people are removed from their fields to grow monoculture treeplantations to make pellets that will heat Dutch homes. The rise of Brazil is by far the most spectacular and even the own industry estimates say that by 2020 Brazil will export more pellets to the EU than all exports to the EU combined in 2010. This is creating extra pressure on a trend in which the amazon is replaced by an eucalyptus plantation with close to zero biodiversity. The EU is basically tapping into a new market for raw materials from the South: biomass and water, soaked up in the wood. The author of this piece has totally neglected this trend and just copy paste's the industry glorification. Please read up a little bit. Here is a report on the rise of tree plantations in the South for growing demand in the North and how they create conflict nearly everywhere (http://www.ejolt.org/2012/06/an-overview-of-industrial-tree-plantations-...) and here is a more specific report on what the rise of woody biomass in the south for export to EU actually does on the ground: http://www.ejolt.org/2013/04/industrial-tree-plantations-in-the-global-s... A balanced report would have included such kind of sources or story.
This article was very negative towards burning wood.
true. 'biased' was the wrong word selection and I was too harsh for the author but he or she sure missed a big story related to this issue, which I found strange
And what are we going to breath when Amazon forests are gone?
Ironically, most of these eucalyptus plantations aren't deforesting the Amazon, that would be cattle ranching and subsistence agriculture. In reality, eucalyptus plantations are insanely productive and can produce more wood in 10 years than a forest in Finland can in 40. Thus, we have to ask ourselves the best land-use. If I'm giving the choice of a hectare of monoculture eucalyptus or 10 hectares of whatever, give me the monoculture as it's productivity will allow me to conserve 9 hectares of natural forests for real biodiversity protection.
@LR52185: you're basically justifying the Lawrence Summers Principle. For your memory, here's what he said in his infamous memo
"Just between you and me, shouldn't the World Bank be encouraging more migration of the dirty industries to the LDCs [Least Developed Countries]? […] A given amount of health impairing pollution should be done in the country with the lowest cost, which will be the country with the lowest wages. I think the economic logic behind dumping a load of toxic waste in the lowest wage country is impeccable and we should face up to that."
The Economist (8 February 1992), to which the memo was leaked, found the language 'crass, even for an internal memo', but 'on the economics his points are hard to answer'.
Monoculture eucalyptus plantations ARE a dirty industry if you see at the resulting loss of biodiversity, water, forest products previously used by locals and depletion of the soil. Comparing a pine forest in Finland with the Amazon is like saying that an empty classroom in rural nepal and a class room in Harvard University are the same and that you rather prefer the 60 kids cramped in the Nepali classroom without chairs to sit on to 15 kids receiving about the richest knowledge transfer possible in Harvard.
And yes, these plantations are deforesting the Amazon - you have to see the whole picture of the plantaion industry in Brazil and the links between pressures on land in one region and pressures on land in another region. As a reader of The Economist must know, even a clapp of a butterfly in one part of the world can cause a storm in the other part. And in Brazil, that is certainly the case.
I'm not saying that we should cut 4 times more wood in Finland instead - but instead stop promoting wood as a renewable energy. The EU's climate policies are having very adverse impacts on people in the South and these impact will ultimatly damage us as well. So they're shooting themselves in the foot.
Importing pellets from America? How much fuel is needed to transport the stuff across Atlantic, and to and from ports?
Wood works if it is burned close to source, transporting it across the globe is a waste.
You'd be surprised how little fuel it actually takes to make this work economically and environmentally.
This study is flawed. Almost all wood if not burnt rots. What is needed is smaller power stations closer to the trees.
How about reading the article before replying?
When you burn wood the carbon is released today. Even if the tree was rotting, the rotting would take decades, and until then you are in carbon debt.
But worse, the EU policy will incentivize people to use healthy trees for energy, and these would continue to trap carbon in the forest if left alone. In the best case, the trees are replanted and the new forest will start growing faster than the old one after a few decades. At that point you start to repay your initial carbon release, but you will not typically finish paying it for more than 100 years for conventional plantations.
(Of course, the story is different if you plant new fast-growing trees on unforested land, but the policy does not encourage this).
Biofuels no doubt have their limits. However, this article doesn't convince me. Take, for example, the following passage:
"Prices are going through the roof. [...] an index of wood-pellet prices kept by the Argus Biomass Report rose from $116 a tonne in August 2010 to $129 a tonne at the end of 2012."
That is a price rise of 11.2%, or about 5% per year, not taking inflation into account.
"Through the roof", you said? Must be a rather low ceiling in that TE office.
There is only one realistic solution. The world needs a One Child Policy.
on the subject of global solutions for the environment, tree planting is probably the most important and neglected step. We need more trees whether we burn them or not, we are running out of trees like the Americans ran out of the Bison stocks.
A One Child Policy is a dead horse, but maybe tax credits for less children would work. Anyway an alternative radical solution would be that all countries in the world order their high school students to plant trees for one year before moving on to college. There are lots of dry and barren areas in the world where trees don't grow naturally BUT they can be grown if nourished with condensed atmospheric moisture using metallic screens. Condensed dew drops trickle down the wire mesh and land directly in the roots. This system is already being used to make drinking water. Why not grow Euclyptus trees the same way. Eucliptus grows fast and needs litte water. They also help to offset agricultural problems like desertification, soil erosion, , water logging and salinity.
The've had that in China for decades.
Yet they still suffocate.
They will not be able to stop the increase in carbon emissions let alone reduce them for many decades. Therefore, strategic thinking about energy over a century is reasonable. A century is a time scale that could really play a big role in reducing or at least stopping the growth of emissions. How? Reduce demand! How? Cut down the world population to a size that the planet can accommodate!
back to basics
Attend the International Biomass Conference this week in Minneapolis, Minnesota U.S.A. and you will see presentations noting the vast advantages. A presentation is slated on how some school districts in Alaska have saved well over 50% in fuel costs by converting to wood from oil, with one now generating electricity. In some cases whole communities are seeing the advantage, in an arctic state which witnesses first hand the effects of climate/biome changes. FOR WHEN THE PASSAGE THROUGH THE BERING STRAIGHTS over the top to Europe becomes more clear and national property rights established, entrepreneurs are now preparing and as a pacific state we will be sitting pretty with shipping chips, biobricks and pellets over (4 trips made in 2010, 40 made in 2012.... over the top). I think the next big $$$ boom in Alaska as an energy exporter will be wood, as well as natural gas (pipeline) and possibly Methane Hydrates....
Burning wood for producing power is like printing money when you are already bankrupt to revive economy.
Burning woods will shut down the amount of the plants worldwide . I don't think it's right.
I have reason to doubt the feasibility of this idea. How long it take to burn 1 ha forest in power plant? And how long it take to grow it again?
We are truly becoming like the alcoholic who in his worsening, insatiable addiction drinks anything that has alcohol in it, even if it is seriously endangering his health, threatening his life.
We keep asking questions about more and different energy supplies, sources, but we never ask if we truly need so much energy.
Although we exist in a closed and finite natural system, where you can only take out that exists within, we keep on dreaming about infinite growth, infinite expansion, and most of all infinite profit.
This excessive over production, over consumption is unsustainable and it already entered into the self-destructive phase, we are actually consuming ourselves like cancer.
And although without any doubt we are fast running out of natural resources too, what we have already exhausted is our human resources.
The growing unemployment, especially youth unemployment with figures ranging from 25-55% in developing countries, the growing social inequality, the decline of the middle class, and all the other negative social changes world-wide threaten with imminent internal, or international explosions.
Humanity has to change from a "demand based" system to an "available supply" based system both in terms of natural and human resources in order to build a sustainable future and avoid very unpredictable and highly volatile events in the short future.
Exactly so! Burn up all the forests to feed the insatiable beast of human egoism! And certainly we should get down to wood, because there is no fuel like and old fuel. ...
In a few years we can burn all the books too. They aren't being used for anything but to justify library shelving expense to benefit the Mayor's son's cabinet business. While we are at it how much energy is there is Oak and Maple and Chinese Tallow leaves? They are an annual crop that could employ many teenagers and reduce energy dependence.
I recall that massive book-burning in USSR and III Reich didn't bring many benefits to those countries.
Assuming the ridiculous belief CO2 is the only problem here, wood is a good choice. However, considering climate change is more likely being influenced by the heat we humans produce, burning wood still releases heat. So CO2 might end up as a net zero change switching from coal to wood, the heat produced still causes additional warming.
Still none of it matters when government is involved. As soon as subsidy or ridiculous credits are involved, the entire idea becomes an unworkable mess. It is precisely government stolen money from other taxpayers used to subsidize stuff like this that causes ultimate failure. That is why solar and wind are still too expensive. It is all the government subsides involved. If the world really wants wood as a renewable to be a success, get the government out of it.
I do not exactly have a degree in thermodynamics, but I am pretty sure there are few sources of energy on earth. The is the leftovers of earths creation, in the form of earths rotation and its internal heat,and nuclear energy, mainly from the sun.
Almost all the energy involved in our lives is from the sun. Some of that energy is reflected into space, and some of that is absorbed by the ground and atmosphere as heat, the latter being increased by greenhouse gasses.Very little of it is stored as potential energy by plants. This energy is what we use in fossil/Bio fuels. This heat is all being released at once by us, but it is still relatively little compared with that we get everyday from the sun. You assume that we live in a closed system, and that increasing entropy is slowly cranking up the heat. Yet all the time, energy is escaping into space. You can see this in the way it gets cold at night. Carbon Dioxide increases the amount of heat energy the atmosphere absorbs, so of course it is the main cause along with other gasses such as methane. The amount of energy absorbed and released by our atmosphere in the form of infrared radiation dwarfs the amount we produce from our various contributions to increasing entropy.
This is common knowledge, known to anyone who passed a high school chemistry class.
Heating of atmosphere (or indeed, anything) is determined by two factors - how much heat goes into the system (watts of power from all sources, sun, fires, body-heat etc.) and how good the thing is at retaining heat (insulation, or "greenhouse effect").
If you have a big cauldron over a small fire, the thing will quickly reach "terminal temperature", when the big surface of the cauldron will be losing heat at exactly the same rate as heat is supplied by the small fire underneath, and will not get any hotter.
To increase temperature of the cauldron, you can make a bigger fire (supply more energy) or wrap it in some insulation to prevent heat from escaping.
Human produced heat is a negligible fraction of total power pouring into the atmosphere from the Sun - we do not contribute much to the "power" factor, but we do increase the "insulation" part a lot - by putting more CO2, methane and water vapor into the atmosphere. This is where we can make greatest improvements.
This type of activity is the reason why we need to completely simplify and go hard on carbon-cutting measures. There should be a simple carbon tax, and countries across the world need to work together to make it happen. Otherwise, you get subsidies like this that encourage deforestation, end up in the same place (or perhaps more inefficient) than even coal, and harm everyone.

HoopsHype Aaron Gordon rumors
He remembers his high school days like they were yesterday and he's not old enough to legally drink or reserve many hotel rooms on his own. Yet, he's viewed as a potential savior of a billion-dollar organization. That's a lot of pressure for a kid and he admits he's had to mature a lot faster than most of his peers – many of whom are still cramming for exams and trying to find their next party. "There are definitely some aspects that you need to mature quicker about – when it comes to money, when it comes to taking care of your body, when it comes to making good use of your time," Gordon said. "But at the end of the day, I'm still a teenager. And I'm always going to be a kid at heart." Basketball Insiders
"I think one of the biggest surprises has just been the amount of good people I have in my organization," Gordon said. "You almost feel like the NBA is strictly 100 percent business, but the people on my team have been real nice to me, real cool and just good teammates." Basketball Insiders
Unable to move much while his fractured foot healed and away from his Orlando Magic teammates for most of six weeks, Aaron Gordon often would pass time by sitting in a chair and mimicking shooting basketballs against a wall. The goal for the 19-year-old Gordon – the youngest player in the NBA this season – was to put his time away from basketball to good use. When he was finally ready to return, Gordon wanted a shooting stroke that he worked on all summer to be perfected and ready to go. While there very well could still be some rust, Gordon has been cleared by doctors to play and he could be active tonight when the suddenly surging Magic (15-27) host the rugged Memphis Grizzlies (27-11) at the Amway Center. Tipoff is just after 7 p.m., and Gordon can hardly wait to get back out on the floor. NBA.com
Orlando Magic (Record: 12-21; last week's rank: 24): Injured rookie forward Aaron Gordon (foot surgery) is now taking part in low-impact, non-basketball workouts and could return in mid-January, a source said. Yahoo! Sports
Rookie Aaron Gordon was encouraged by Kevin Durant's quick return because both had foot surgery performed by the same doctor, a source said. Yahoo! Sports
Diamond Leung: Injured Magic rookie Aaron Gordon unlikely to make the road trip home next week, according to coach Jacque Vaughn. Twitter @diamond83
Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon underwent successful surgery on Friday in Charlotte – less than two miles away from where his teammates were facing the Charlotte Hornets – to repair the fractured fifth metatarsal in his left foot, GM Rob Hennigan announced. An X-ray following last Saturday's game in Washington, D.C. revealed the fractured bone in Gordon's left foot. Following a consultation with specialist Dr. Bob Anderson, surgery was performed on Friday in Charlotte at Carolinas Medical-Mercy Hospital. Gordon, the youngest player in the NBA this season at 19 years old, is out indefinitely. He will be re-evaluated by the specialist again in six-to-eight weeks to gauge the healing in the surgically repaired bone. His return to game action will ultimately depend on how he responds to rehabilitation. NBA.com
Josh Robbins: Aaron Gordon underwent surgery today to repair the fifth metatarsal in his left foot, the Magic said. Twitter @JoshuaBRobbins
Josh Robbins: Aaron Gordon is expected to be re-evaluated in 6 to 8 weeks. But his return will depend on how he responds to rehabilitation. Twitter @JoshuaBRobbins
After the Magic lost to the Washington Wizards on Saturday night, Gordon said, he told Magic athletic trainer Keon Weise that he needed new orthotics in his shoes. Weise insisted Gordon get his foot X-rayed, Gordon said. "It's been sore," Gordon said. "It's been a sore foot. It didn't really feel like much at all. . . . It was a little bit painful, but it wasn't anything really at all." Orlando Sentinel
For now, though, he said he'll try to learn as much as he can while he sits out. "I'll just figure out how to stay around the game," he said. "Maybe [I'll] sit in a chair and work on jump hooks and high-release shots. I guess it's a good time to rest and then be healthy for the rest of the season." Orlando Sentinel
Aaron Gordon: It's not fatal; You know how that saying goes. Need detail from a specialist, the reality is that it's a stress fracture. That I can't control. But I can control my level of inner peace. My family will never let me fall back. I PROMISE #cantknockthehustle Twitter @IamAaronGordon
Orlando Magic rookie forward Aaron Gordon fractured the fifth metatarsal in his left foot during Saturday night's game against the Washington Wizards and he will be out indefinitely, team officials said. Gordon will be evaluated by a specialist when the team returns from its road trip to Orlando following Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons, and it's unclear whether Gordon will require surgery.

Fall garden?
Fall is right around the corner. In a normal year, I would be making plans of where to plant the roses I rec'd in spring as bands, now a nice two-gallon size. And maybe planning enlargements to existing beds or marking off areas to dig new beds. I love pansies for the winter garden and I would be throwing out tired summer annuals in preparation for pansy planting. I love the fall flush my roses have given me every Sept.- frost.
This year is worlds-away different. I don't plan to put those new roses in the ground, just going to keep them in the pot ghetto where they can be moved into shade when needed. I really wish I had not ordered them, but had no idea this year would be such a disaster. No pansy plans, don't think there will be water for them. Last winter most froze out anyway. And definitely no bed changes or additions.
My fall garden goals are to keep as much alive as I can.
What is everybody else doing for fall?
Maybe it depends on where you live. I looked up the forecast and it looked like the eastern and northern areas in this drought are going to have it easier than the more southwestern areas. Fall would be preferable to spring for planting anything because its so much easier to keep the soil moist and get better root establishment than if you wait until spring when things may warm up faster than normal again with plants newly set in the ground.
I read that advice about fall planting for better root establishment before the heat set in on the Arizona site and considering what we are dealing with, seems like good advice to follow in our current situation.
They were also predicting a milder winter on the site with the 6 month forecast which also seems like it would be good for establishing root growth.
Its up to each individual but for me, I will plant in fall as usual. I am sticking with natives and plants that require minimal water. Easy to do, since they are the ones I like anyway. Why have a crappy looking plant that is struggling with the heat when its so much easier to have a good looking one that isn't and which needs so much less water?
I am hoping at least some good things come out of all of this. People start considering and planting natives, nurseries start selling more of them and we stop all this wasting of water we have been doing for non native lawns, moisture loving imported plants, shrubs and trees etc. Maybe this is a wake-up call. No state has a better and wider selection of natives than Texas to draw from. So many interesting and gorgeous plants I wish were available in nurseries around here instead of the typical boring nursery fare.
I need water in my rain water tanks and an expectation of more coming to plant with a clear conscience. I hear that the second la Nina is USUALLY milder but I refuse to have an expectation because it might be a premeditated resentment. I will wait it out, planting nothing, go into a defensive mode.. The natives I put out last fall died. The forecasts are dire so I choose not to garden and spend that money on trucking water in.
everything on the porch here too- I think I have 75 pots up here, we have a large porch- all of those plants are doing well. I do wish I was able to put them in the ground. Hoping by the end of Sept things look better around here. Otherwise I will be bring all of the pots inside. I had taken lots of cuttings and made lots of plants- will be nice when they all get in the ground. Going to take some to the plant swap in Oct as well

In a sign that there may be major worries over a Minnesota Vikings funding package, Gov. Mark Dayton outlined a revised plan Friday to show how revenue from electronic pulltabs would help fund the project.
Standing with State Revenue Commissioner Myron Frans, the governor said that allowing electronic bingo and pulltabs in the state's bars and restaurants would produce $62.5 million annually that the state could use for the $975 million stadium. Officials had earlier estimated that the gambling expansion would mean $72 million a year for the state, but said the revisions were made to satisfy charitable gaming officials who want tax relief for their industry as part of any Vikings stadium deal.
The governor's revised funding plan however quickly met with controversy. After the press briefing, a spokesman for Allied Charities of Minnesota said the charitable gaming industry did not know about the press briefing and said there was no agreement with the Dayton administration on whether the revenue estimates were accurate or how the new revenues should be split.
"We have no deal," said Ray Bohn, a spokesman. "We're pretty offended."
Frans meanwhile said the charitable gaming revenues would be enough for a Vikings stadium. "We feel confident that this is a revenue stream that we can rely on" for the state's $398 million contribution to the stadium, said Frans.
But he quickly conceded that should electronic bingo and pulltab revenues not generate enough money, the state would have to look at a backup funding stream that might need to be supported directly by state money – a move many Republican legislators who hold the majority in the House and Senate have already said they would reject.
"That's something we'll have to look at," said Frans.
The surprise press briefing and latest revisions showed that, even as the Vikings stadium legislation was being introduced, concerns over the reliability of electronic pulltab money was but one more worry for the project's complicated politics and financing.
Dayton and Frans announced the revised plan while acknowledging that they did not yet know whether leaders of the charitable gaming industry would support it. "We're awaiting their response," said Frans.
The DFL governor spent much of the morning lobbying for the stadium, which could have its first hearings in the House and Senate next week. But his meetings Friday with legislative leaders, including House Speaker Kurt Zellers, indicated their support for the project may be tepid as the Legislature heads for an April adjournment.
"If the electronic pulltabs just [doesn't] work why, then, no one can probably vote for it," Senate Majority Leader David Senjem said after Dayton visited with him for a half hour Friday morning. "We have to be assured there's a financing mechanism that works."
Of whether the Vikings stadium legislation would pass the Legislature yet this spring, Senjem said: "We'll do the best we can. If it's not good enough, why, we'll have to I suppose set it aside and [do it] at a different time."

Bermuda Lawn - Before & After
I purchased my home in March of last year. It was a foreclosure and the front yard was mostly weeds, dirt, and had suffered from a lot of erosion as a result. At first I hired a lawn care company but wasn't seeing any results so I got rid of them. I knew that most of the bermuda was salvageable but not all of it. I ended up putting some sod down where it was apparent that no grass existed. Then I found this forum and the Bermuda Bible. I wish I had found the forum SOONER because I made the mistake of tilling the area where I put the sod. As a result I will need to level the yard in the future to correct this. Live and learn.
Here is how the yard looked in April 2012:
Here is how the yard looks today:
After mowing:
So thank you for all of the advice provided throughout this process and all the advice you will continue to provide in the future.
Well not to worry. You do have have some grade issues but not horrible.
So as not to make any more mistakes get your leveling done soon or at least started. You only want to do this while the grass is actively growing during peak growth season. You do not want to do it late in the season after growth slows down or dormant. Same applies not to do it too early in the spring.
Otherwise looks like you are doing an excellent job, keep it up.

Kolkata: India and Bangladesh on Sunday decided
to set up a joint Sundarbans Eco-System Forum to protect and
preserve the world heritage site from the impact of climate
Union Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh and his
Bangladesh counterpart Hasun Mahmud on Sunday said steps had
already been initiated in the two countries in this regard.
Speaking at an international workshop `Climate Threat to
Sundarbans Across India and Bangladesh`, where both the
ministers were present, Ramesh said he was optimistic about
the forum being set up by next September.
They two told the workshop that the Sundarbans, which
has the biggest mangrove forest in the world spread over
West Bengal and Bangladesh, was one of the most climatically
vulnerable areas of the world.
"We need to protect and preserve this biosphere reserve
jointly. Setting up the forum is a distinctive possibility
and we deserve it as the forest having 60 per cent of its
territory in Bangladesh and the rest in India is 50 times the
size of the Maldives," Ramesh said.
Ramesh said the forum would enable both governments to
take up joint projects to preserve the mangrove forest and
the tiger population.
"The forum will be the first practical demonstration of
efforts to protect the Sundarbans," he said.

About the Film:
Directed by Sam George. USA. 2013. 96 mins.
This award-winning documentary chronicles the remarkable life, times, and legacy of the late Eddie Aikau—fearless big wave surfer, pioneering North Shore lifeguard and crewmember of the Polynesian voyaging canoe Hokule'a. As the first official North Shore lifeguard, Aikau saved more than 500 lives and never failed once. Time and again he plunged into 40-foot waves at Waimea Bay to rescue swimmers, hence the slogan "Eddie would go," a phrase that has long carried deep meaning with countless Hawaiians and surfers worldwide. With its combination of archival imagery, dramatic reenactments, contemporary interviews and meticulously researched historical source material Hawaiian is a compelling examination of the tragic decline and extraordinary rebirth of the Hawaiian culture, as personified by a native son whose dynamic life and heroic death served as inspiration to an entire spiritual movement. Narrated by Josh Brolin, directed by Sam George (Riding Giants) and produced by Stacy Peralta (Dogtown and Z-Boys) and Paul Taublieb (The Vow), Hawaiian: The Legend of Eddie Aikau is a fitting tribute to a man who is considered a hero across the globe.

Does anybody grow bloody dock??/Roman Chammomile question
When I saw a picture of this online, I just had to add it to my herb garden. Is it easy to grow, is it good in salads (I've heard it's edible)?? What sort of soil does it like?? I want to know everything about this herb, and if possible, get a start of it.
Now, the chammomile. As you may or may not know, chammomile is well known for it's calming effects. What I'd like to know is, is it safe to give to dogs?? The reason I ask is because this year, on the Fourth of July, my dog began freaking out when the fireworks started, but I thought that if I gave her some chammomile she might calm down. If so, I'd REALLY like to get some of this for my garden. She can be quite destructive when she's nervous, and I'm hoping to put a stop to this.
When your pet suffers from stress or anxiety, try a combination of the extracts of Oats, Valerian, and Chamomile. (Check with your vet for correct dosage.) Rub a little Lavender oil near the animal's muzzle, or place some on a cotton pad in the pet's bed or in his sleeping area. And remember that if you are stressed, the animal will be too, so sniff a little of that calming Lavender for yourself as well.
Plenty of info on Bloody (red-veined) dock on the Web. See link.
Here is a link that might be useful: bloody dock
I have bloody dock growing in the garden. It's pretty, a hardy perennial, stays quite small, easy to grow, takes a while to get established. I bought plants from Richters.
I got seeds last year from Thompson & Morgan (I think) and direct-sowed it into the garden bed. Came very well. It came back this year and is growing well, even after moving it. Attractive foliage. Doesn't seem to require much tending, care, or special soil. Edible but taste-wise I think there are better things for the salad bowl. I'd use its leaves as garnishes and for color rather than taste.
Bloody dock grows better for me with some shade. It died out after 2 years when in full, all day sun. The young leaves are more tender and better suited, IMO, for culinary use.
As for calming your pet, I would recommend training your dog to be calm rather than trying to medicate, naturally or otherwise. Note the incredible stuff the Dog Whisperer can do with aggressive and/or anxious dogs-no meds needed.

There was a documentary film in black and white, but this is not Space is the Place which came out in 1974. Harry Potter.
- Probably Edward Bland's late 50s The Cry of Jazz? Pediod interest only with fragmentary grainy footage. AllyD 18:49, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
- The recent BBC documentary called Brother From Another Planet went into great and fascinating detail about all aspects of this amazing, enigmatic man's life. His early stage name is there given as the prophetic Sonny Ray. Nuttyskin 03:07, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
what's wrong with a little chaos? I'm sure Sonny would have approved. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 17:20, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Incorrect characterisation[edit]
I replaced the characterisation of the 1960s music as chaotic with an attempt to indicate the new forms of compositional structuring: both in terms of tape delay/editing and in terms of the bracketed ensemble blowing. IMO the 1960s section needs more, though, on the important new opportunities opened by Ra's 1961-67 music. AllyD 18:39, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Recommended Recordings[edit]
This section should be edited for WP:NPOV. Encyclopedias can explain which recordings are considered important, by whom they are considered important, or why they are considered important, but an Encyclopedia should not itself recommend recordings. I could simply change the wording, but it would be better for someone who knows the subject to expand it a bit to add context and explanations. Dystopos 20:07, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
- I've cleaned it up a bit, by pointing out recordings that are considered by music critics and fans of Sun Ra's work to be among his best albums. It isn't a great improvement, and since there were previous sections that went into a bit of detail about Sun Ra's different musical periods, I thought that it would be a bit redundant to say that, for example, recordings like Super-Sonic Jazz and Jazz In Silhouette find Sun Ra employing polytonality and modality several years before musicians like Miles Davis and Ornette Coleman would do so. This section could still use a bit of work, as far as I'm concerned, though mostly in regard to providing citations, if it is felt that they are necessary. Kevinloy 01:23, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Electric bassists called Clarke?[edit]
Someone had placed "Stan Clarke bass guitar dates unknown" in the list of notable Arkestra musicians, presumably meaning Stanley Clarke? However I've removed the name, as I can find no other references to an Arkestra bassist named Stan Clarke - though there was Steve Clarke on a couple of late 1970s recordings (and co-composer of "UFO"). AllyD 18:49, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
Saturnian ?[edit]
There's a category called "saturnian jazz musicians" ? :P Encyclopedic, eh.. - Mau 22:51, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
I don't think this article can really acheive FA as it is. In order to do this, it would need all its material to be sourced, and that's pretty far away. It would also need pictures.--SidiLemine 11:28, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Anyone know where this term comes from? "arka" is a Sanskrit word for "sun". . . Andrew Ollett 16:31, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
That's a really good catch. I've been reading Szwed's book on Sun Ra and that was not mentioned. It might be possible that Sun Ra didn't know that. He did however remark that the word "Arkestra" began and ended with "RA". In fact, "arka" is really rich with meanings,including musical and sonic: from Capeller's English-Sanskrit dictionary (http://webapps.uni-koeln.de/tamil/)
14 arka m. beam, ray; the sun, fire; praise, song, sound, roar; singer; N. of a plant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 20:33, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- You're making it too hard. "Ark" as in "Ark", such as "Noah's Ark" or the "Space Ark" to take people to other star systems (or bring them here) and "estra" as in orchestra. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 18:14, 29 July 2011 (UTC) Eric
Quite right, Eric. Arkestra is obviously a portmanteau, combining ark and orchestra. The article as it currently reads, however, says only that Arkestra is a "deliberate misspelling" of orchestra. Not only is this not quite accurate, it's also--not to put too fine a point on it--idiotic. TheScotch (talk) 12:44, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
- The portmanteau explanation is probably partially true, but I believe Sun Ra was well aware of the other implications of the name he chose for his band. His philosophy may have been outrageous, but it was intricately conceived and executed, and everything he did, from the music, to his poetry and lyrics, to the costuming, to his stage setups, etc., etc. was deliberately overlain with multiple levels of symbolism. Sun Ra said as much himself, both in interviews and to audiences.
- I certainly agree, though, that "arkestra" was more than simply a "deliberate misspelling" of "orchestra". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 23:27, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
Please add to musicians[edit]
Clifford Jarvis, drums, (1961-76, '83) obit: [1] 220.127.116.11 21:55, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
I'm so impressed by this article, and I've learned a great deal from it. Well done to all involved! Tree Kittens 07:03, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
Naming convention?[edit]
If his legal name was "Sun Ra", shouldn't the article refer to him as such, rather than as "Blount"? Also see WP:ID. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 22:25, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
- I came in here to ask the same thing, and agree that "Blount" seems out of place. --Ninly 21:02, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- The text of the article should refer to its subject as "Sun Ra", not "Ra", and not "Blount". Herman Blount adopted the name Sun Ra, but it wasn't that his first name was Sun and his last name was Ra. More like he had only one name, like Cher or Madonna, but the name had two parts. As corroborating evidence, here is a New York Times article about Marshall Allen. In the New York Times they always refer to men as "Mr. whatever" instead of "whatever", for example "Mr. Allen", but the article refers to Sun Ra as "Sun Ra", not "Mr. Ra". — Mudwater 01:23, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
- I've updated the article to refer to Sun Ra as "Sun Ra" instead of "Ra". — Mudwater 13:19, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
I suppose this is the same topic coming around again but I've reverted a bunch of changes from "Blount" to "Sun Ra" today: [2]. I think the Blount naming is correct until he actually becomes Sun Ra. Otherwise it becomes nonsensical, for example when the article says "... and Blount took over leadership of the group, renaming it the Sonny Blount Orchestra... Though the first edition of the Sonny Blount Orchestra was not financially successful, they earned positive notice..." So that was the name he chose at the time. AllyD (talk) 17:40, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
"Replace this image" image[edit]
Is there a Wikipedia or WikiProject Biography guideline for the use, or non-use, of the "replace this image" image? I personally find it distracting. While I agree that an image would significantly improve the article, I think it's assumed that if someone has a suitable free image, they should upload it and use it in a biography article such as this. Also, most people who look at a page are readers, not editors, and I don't think it helps them to include this notice, which is quite prominent. — Mudwater 17:17, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
- Dunno if there's a guideline or not. It is prominent, which I think is the point. It serves the purpose of aleting editors that the image is needed, but I think it also is meant to entice readers to become editors :) I'm not adamant that it has to be there, but maybe we could leave it up for a little while? -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 17:46, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
- I realize it's for a good cause, and what you're saying makes some sense, but my preference would be for the image be removed, for the reasons I mentioned. I'd be interested in the opinions of other editors also. By the way, when you say "a little while", did you have a particular time frame in mind? — Mudwater 19:39, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
- Yes - indefinitely. =)
- Not really - a week or two? But I'm going to see if there's been any discussion about the use of the image in articles because you brought up some good points. If I don't find anything (or don't get around to it), feel free to delete around the end of the year. And or if any other editors of this article chime in? -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 20:08, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks to Pandelis karayorgis for adding an image to the article! — Mudwater 01:56, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
Tributes section[edit]
This whole section smacks of {{trivia}} and, imo, should be deleted. Thoughts? -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 16:43, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
Yup, it's full of wrong-end-of-the-telescope stuff. The fact that Joe Bloggs like Artist X may be a relevant fact about Joe Bloggs but it is irrelevant to Artist X. AllyD (talk) 17:54, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
maybe I'm not seeing it, but I see references to a "parker" who was a teacher, but I can't find the entire name in the article. I don't think I'm misreading. Thank you.
Cleanup and copy editing run[edit]
I went through and did a pretty major cleanup run. Among other things, I copy edited the text, merged some paragraphs, removed much of the crufty influence section, and removed many references to John Szwed in the article that did not add to its general quality, that seems, IMO, to merely be pushing the view of him as an expert. Please comment here if you take issue with the edit or have ideas about future things to do. I have found, and am in the process of finding, more references to source currently unsourced or dubiously sourced claims. --Kakofonous (talk) 20:23, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Much improved. The Musicians list probably needs some attention - some mislinks, some names I don't recognise from records, etc. AllyD (talk) 20:49, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
External link suggestion[edit]
As an editor at Crawdaddy!, and to comply with COI guidelines, I am not posting the link to this article about Sun Ra. However, I would like to recommend it on its merits, and hope that an editor will find the time to examine the piece and—if he or she sees fit—post it to the external links section. I appreciate your time. Crawdaddy! (favorable) [3]
Mike harkin (talk) 22:49, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Arthur Doyle?[edit]
Is there evidence that saxophonist Arthur Doyle worked with Sun Ra? Trumpeter Arthur Hoyle did, and he isn't on the musician list.-RLCampbell (talk) 01:17, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
"Also by his teens, Sun Ra suffered from cryptorchidism" As far as I know, cryptorchidism is a congenital health condition, so the idea that he started "suffering" in his teens seems to be rather confused.Jimjamjak (talk) 13:29, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
- So which is it, a testicular hernia or a heart condition? I know my balls were suffering in my teens. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 10:53, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
- Neither. Cryptorchidism refers to an undescended testicle (or testicles). It is most frequently congenital, but has been know to occur as late as early adulthood, in rare cases. See cryptorchidism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 23:08, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
Strict Code?[edit]
I have also read that Sun Ra did indeed force many of his musicians to live by the same strict code that he did.
He was known to lock musicians up in the closet for showing up late to rehearsal if they had been partying the night before etc... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 14:21, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
- Enforcing discipline (expecting people to show up) is not the same as enforcing morality (expecting people not to get effed up). As the old Master Chief used to say, "Drink he may, but swim he must!" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 10:59, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
Is the Scott Yanow quote really necessary?[edit]
C'mon, the guy is a known conservative hypocrite. I Don't think his name should be on an article about Sun Ra. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 18:44, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
Unknown Music[edit]
" Here's what John Gilmore has to say: "I've got drawers full of music.... For a period of time, we would go to different towns and Ra would write something special for the town. Like Silver Spring, Maryland. He'd write maybe seven compositions about Silver Spring and, man, the stuff was so beautiful. But we only played them when we played in Silver Spring, you know? We'd go back over tapes and say, 'Wow, what is that and what is this?'" We even forgot the names of some of them, because we only played them that one time." [John Gilmore, quoted by John Corbett]" at 'http://crosstowntorrents.org/showthread.php?722-Sun-Ra!' I don't know if this source is good enough for wikipedia. Some of these one-shot compositions appear here and there on concert bootlegs, etc. as "Unknown". 18.104.22.168 (talk) 03:34, 23 July 2011 (UTC) Eric
Philosophy and "bear hugs"[edit]
From the "Philosophy" section: "Sun Ra even came up once, behind a frightened young audience member, grabbed him in a bear hug, and whispered this in his ear, while the whole band chanted and played along, in a circle around his table, with the rest of the audience watching on in amusement."
He didn't do this just "once" -- it was a frequent part of his performance. I attended a number of Sun Ra performances and witnessed similar antics at least three times, once with a "(not-)frightened young audience member" seated in the row directly in front of me. This during a concert in, IIRC, 1985, at the Hult Performing Arts Center's Silva Concert Hall, in Eugene, Oregon. On another occasion the drummer (who I think was Buster Smith at the time) sat down next to me and my girlfriend, and proceded to cast her numerology chart -- while the rest of the band was filing on stage and starting to play. He took his time about it, finished up, then went to join them, and nobody onstage, least of all Sun Ra took any special notice of the fact that their main drummer was showing up 10 minutes late in an already running performance.
Band/audience interaction was a big part of Sun Ra concerts, and it was quite frequently "up front and personal."126.96.36.199 (talk) 23:02, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
Spirits or aliens ?[edit]
Because if he claims to have had an encounter with non-corporeal beings (from Saturn) then I think the reference to accounts of flying saucers is out of place. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 14:28, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
-- ...but since the article is frequently a good summary of a good biography, I'm sure it is best not to interefere or it would become incoherent: "even if this story is revisionist autobiography... Sonny was pulling together several strains of his life. He was both prophesizing his future and explaining his past with a single act of personal mythology" wouldn't fit without the reference to UFO's. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 14:54, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

GALAXY: Of Donovan and Del Piero
May, 17, 2011
By Scott French | ESPNLosAngeles.com
The rumor mill is churning out talk of Galaxy attackers present and potential, with Alessandro Del Piero hinting of a move to So Cal and AS Roma trolling for L.A. captain Landon Donovan.
Italian sports daily Corriere dello Sport reports that Roma's new American owner, Thomas DiBenedetto, will make a move for Donovan, who has had four stints in Europe, twice with Germany's Bayer Leverkusen and loan deals to Bayern Munich and Everton.
DiBenedetto, a Bostonian who also is a partner in the group that owns the Boston Red Sox and Liverpool FC, last month purchased a controlling interest in Roma and has plans to complete a takeover and pull the club off Italy's stock exchange.
Del Piero, 36, one of the most beloved of Italian players, has another year on his contract at Juventus, but he told Sky Sport 24 that a move to the Galaxy could follow.
"It could be a possibility," said Del Piero, who has been with Juve since 1993 -- scoring 285 goals in 676 matches -- and in three World Cups and four European Championships for Italy's national team. "It's a country I love so much, and I could also take the opportunity to go see the Lakers."
UPDATE (8:09 p.m.): Benedetto told Major League Soccer's website that he is looking for Americans. "We are obviously scouting players everywhere, and we are obviously interested in the American products, both in MLS and abroad," he said. "I obviously can't tell you any names, but we want only the best for our team."
The league website reports that Roma has targeted Donovan, Huntington Beach's Sacha Kljestan (playing for Anderlecht in Belgium), Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan and midfielder Michael Bradley, FC Nuremberg defender Timothy Chandler and New York Red Bulls forward Juan Agudelo.
