Count Puppeteer Jerry Nelson Passes
Jerry Nelson, the Emmy-winning puppeteer best known for playing the famous Count von Count on Sesame Street, died Thursday, August 23, of unspecified causes, according to The New York Times. He was 78.
Nelson, a Tulsa native who grew up in Washington, D.C., also performed Gobo Fraggle on Fraggle Rock and The Muppet Show's Sgt. Floyd Pepper of the Electric Mayhem band; "Pigs in Space" Dr. Julius Strangepork; Kermit the Frog's nephew Robin; and Gonzo's girlfriend Camilla the Chicken, among other roles.
He first trained with American puppeteer Bil Baird, who was responsible for the lively "Lonely Goatherd" marionette sequence in the 1965 movie blockbuster The Sound of Music, starring Julie Andrews. He worked with Muppet creator Jim Henson on TV's The Jimmy Dean Show, a variety program on which Kermit and the gang first became popular with American audiences.
Nelson began working with Sesame Street in the 1970s. While he had given up the physically demanding job of operating the Count and other puppets on Sesame Street, he still voiced the characters, and his voice will be heard in the new season of the show, which begins in September.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — A suspected suicide bomber detonated an explosive device at the entrance of the U.S. Embassy in the Turkish capital on Friday, killing himself and one other person, officials said.
U.S. Ambassador Francis Ricciardione told reporters that a guard at the gate was killed in the 1:15 p.m. blast, and a Turkish citizen was wounded.
The bomb appeared to have exploded inside the security checkpoint at the side entrance of the embassy, but did not do damage inside the embassy itself. Footage showed that the door had been blown off its hinges and debris littered the ground and across the road. An Associated Press journalist saw a body in the street in front of an embassy side entrance.
Police swarmed the area and several ambulances were dispatched. An AP journalist saw one woman who appeared to be seriously injured being carried into an ambulance.
The police official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with government rules, said police had examined security cameras around the embassy and had identified two people who could have been the suicide bomber.
The embassy building is heavily protected. It is near an area where several other embassies are located, including that of Germany and France. Police sealed off the area and journalists were being kept away.

I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday season as much as anyone is capable of enjoying the holiday season.
I had some fun with my family in snowy Upstate New York:
But now it's back to the grind.
A quick note about the grind as it relates to this blog. I manage special events and individual giving at a small arts nonprofit in New York City. With our big annual fundraising gala coming up in March, I'll be pretty busy over the next two months. So please. Don't be alarmed if/when you notice fewer new posts.
Anyway, Happy New Year!

By John Lohn
IRVINE, California, July 31. THIS is the final part of a series that looks at the individual races at the United States Nationals. The meet will be held at the William Woollett Aquatic Center in Irvine, California.
Women's 800 Freestyle
This race should belong to Kate Ziegler, the world champ from Montreal last summer. Ziegler is the queen of distance swimming and perhaps the finest specialist in that realm since Janet Evans was untouchable.
Hayley Peirsol boasts a seed of 8:26.87 and is expected to finish near the head of the field. She'll be pushed by the likes of Kelsey Ditto and Kalyn Keller. Leah Gingrich, a National Junior Teamer, is the fifth seed and appears to have a bright future in the international ranks. Rachel Komisarz could rise up from her eighth seed and Kirsten Groome is a budding star as the ninth seed.
Women's 100 Freestyle
The American-record holder, Natalie Coughlin is the top seed with a recent clocking of 54.06, just off her national standard of 53.99. If in top form, and there's no reason to believe otherwise, Coughlin is likely to lower the mark. But, she'll have some competition in the form of Amanda Weir, who had a strong tuneup season, and Kara Lynn Joyce.
Katie Hoff is seeded fourth, but her immense talent level could lead to a personal-best and the challenging of Coughlin. Lacey Nymeyer is another individual who could have an impact on the top spots.
Men's 200 Backstroke
An argument could be made declaring this event as the finest of the week. At the head of the field is Aaron Peirsol, the world-record holder and Olympic champion. Peirsol has been unbeatable on a big stage since 2001 and will remain the heavy favorite until he's knocked off.
Behind Peirsol in the seedings are Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps. Lochte is the world-record holder in the short course version of the event while Phelps has a 1:55 effort to his credit despite not contesting the event much in major competition. Both men will have to swim close, if not better than, world-record time to knock off Peirsol. Jayme Cramer is the fourth seed and only other man with a sub-2:00 entry time.
Women's 200 Breaststroke
Many of the contenders here are similar to the 100 distance, with the exception of Jessica Hardy, who is geared better for the shorter distances. Rebecca Soni holds the top seed of 2:26.27, but will be pressed by Tara Kirk and Megan Jendrick, both Olympians. Kristen Caverly, a 2004 Olympian, will also be in the hunt and has plenty of experience to which she can turn.
Men's 200 Breaststroke
Like the 100 breast, this race is unlikely to produce a winner other than Brendan Hansen. The world-record holder and world champ, Hansen popped a 2:12 in the middle of training earlier in the summer and is looking for a 2:08 performance, which would topple his global standard of 2:09.04. Hansen is the top seed by three-plus seconds.
Scott Usher, who has enjoyed quality preparation leading into the meet, is the favorite for second place, but will receive pressure from Giordan Pogioli and Matt Lowe. Christian Schurr and Kevin Swander could also make a run.
Men's 1,500 Freestyle
The favorite here is Larsen Jensen, who won silver in the metric mile at the Olympics in Athens and at the World Champs last summer. Jensen is the American-record holder, but could have his hands full with Peter Vanderkaay and Chip Peterson, one of the top open-water swimmers in the world. Robert Margalis, Justin Mortimer and Erik Vendt all have the ability to make noise.

The episode begins with Sally calling Glen. She tells him that Henry and Betty are away with baby Jane. Just then Pauline walks by and trips on the phone cord. Sally asks Bobby to get some water while she calls for help. Pauline has hurt her ankle. Meanwhile, Megan's parents, Emile and Marie are visiting their daughter. They will be staying for a while. Just then the phone rings; its Sally. Next, Roger is having a drink with his ex-wife. He tells her about the life altering experience he had when he took LSD. He tells her that he realizes that he never understood about other people emotions; and its tru. He tells her that she should try LSD once.
He then gives her a list of names of people from the American Cancer Board; he wants her to do a small investigation on them. He tells her about the dinner he and Don would be attending on the weekend, where don would be receiving an award for the letter he wrote on quitting tobacco. He says that he wants to know as much possible about these guys, so that he can propagate his business. She agrees. At the dinner table, Emile wants to know about Don's money. Just then Don arrives with Sally and Bobby. Sally tells the room that Pauline tripped over one of Jane's toys! But Don adds that after Pauline got hurt, Sally called the police, who in turn called the ambulance; and while they were waiting Sally put Pauline's foot on the pillow and put ice on it and kept her calm. As a reward, Megan is making spaghetti for her.
Marie excuses herself from the table as she needs to got to bed. Megan goes in to check on her mom, and she finds that she fell asleep with the cigarette still burning in her hands. Before going to bed, Megan and Don have a talk, where Don tells her that whatever he does, her father would never like him. But Megan also points out that her mother touched Don six times in an hour. Don dismisses it and goes off to sleep. Next day, Megan walks into Don's office- she has an idea. Its about Heinz. She tells him that last night while she made spaghetti for the kids; she realized that her mom made it for her and that her grand mom made it for her mom. So they could go back to the cave men, to the Middle Ages, the present and then take everyone into the future. And the tagline would be: Some things never change. Don loves the idea. He calls for Stan and Ginzo and tell them that they are going to change Heinz. They are angry. But then they tell Peggy that it is better than their idea. While the idea is being discussed, Peggy gets a call from Abe. He wants to arrange a dinner date. Peggy gets nervous.
She goes to meet Joan and tells her that Abe might be planning to break up with her. But Joan thinks otherwise. She thinks that Abe might propose to her. She tells her that men don't make time for ending things; they just ignore you. Peggy arrives at the restaurant. Abe, instead of proposing her for marriage; proposes that they move in together into her apartment. Peggy is disappointed but tries to cover it with a smile. But she says a 'yes'. Next, Don is dining with Raymond, his wife Alice, Ken and Cynthia. But things look a little afield. The wives excuse themselves to go to the ladies room. Alice tells Megan that Raymond is basically planning to drop them and that she hopes that they continue to remain friends. Megan comes back to the table and whispers into Don's ears that they are going to be fired.
Megan prompts Don to tell Raymond about the idea they had in mind; but its presented as Don's idea. Raymond loves it and they stay back for a bottle of champagne. On their way back home, Don and Megan are happy; but also turned on. They head off to the office to make out, as there are a lot of people at home. Next day, Peggy arrives at the office and Joan tells her that Don and Megan sold Heinz over dinner. There is champagne in the conference room. But then she notices that there is no ring on Peggy's finger and figures out that Peggy might not be in the mood. But Peggy tells her what happened and that she is happy about with decision. Joan tells her that it is a good thing and that it is romantic. Next, Peggy congratulates Megan and tells her that instead of being jealous, she is experiencing her first time all over again. She tells Megan that she should savor it. Megan agrees and leaves.
Peggy is wondering about Megan's dampened reaction. Next day, Sally, Megan and Marie return home with a lot of shopping bags. Sally tells Don that she wants to attend the award ceremony and that she has brought a dress for the occasion. Just then Emile reacts angrily and storms out of the room, with Mariefollowing him. They are fighting in French. Everyone is confused, but Megan understands. She tells Don that her father went to the publisher this morning and it didn't go well. So he called up one of his grad students and was crying to her about it. Marie walks in and finds Emile crying on the phone. Don does not understand. But Megan explains to him that her father should be crying to her mother about his disappointment; and not some grad student. He understands. She tells Don that they always do this but they recover.
Next, roger arrives and Marie helps him with the tie; but she also flirts with him. Sally is dressed for the function, but Don makes her remove the eye make-up and her knee high boots. They arrive at the dinner. Pete introduces Don to Ed Baxter, Ken's father-in-law. Next, Don gets his award. Roger meets Marie at the bar and she flirts with him once again. Megan tells her father that she is glad the he came. He tells his daughter that he always thought that she was single-minded about her dreams; but now she has changed. She skipped the trouble and went to the end. She feels that he hates that she loves Don. But he tells her that he hates tha she gave up for her love for Don. She has to do what she wants to do. She tells him that they shouldn't discuss this tonight; at least.
He agrees. Next, Sally goes to freshen up; but she gets the wrong door. She sees Marie performing oral sex on Roger. She is shocked and immediately leaves. Meanwhile, Ed tells Don that he should get out of his business. Don is perplexed as he feels that everyone loves him and wants to talk to him. Ed tells him that everyone loves him but no one will ever work with him; especially after the tobacco letter. Ed tells Don that they would never trust him after the way he bit their hand. Don, Megan, Emile, Marie and sally are all at the table; each one lost in their own thoughts. Next, sally calls Glen. She tells him that she is at her dad's. he asks her how is the city and she replies; dirty. The episode ends.

Luci'a D'Acquisto finds beauty in the details of clothing and accessories.
From fuzzy winter hats dotted with antique buttons to a mocha-colored mini dress with a sequined neckline and fur cap sleeves, she tries to find unusual but feminine pieces to carry in her store.
"My business card says, 'Accessories that make you go hmm,' " she said.
Called Luci'a, the store opened in East Tosa last week. She's still working out the hours, but she has been open from noon to 6 p.m. in the formerly vacant storefront on the corner of 68th Street and North Avenue, next to Royal Court Academy martial arts studio.
"This corner has been empty, so people are stopping by; they're curious," D'Acquisto said.
Meg Miller, a member of the East Tosa Alliance board, welcomes the change to former Fashion Scents building.
"We're thrilled to see a new vibrant store in the neighborhood," she said.
A market study that led to a master plan for the stretch of North Avenue between 60th Street and Wauwatosa Avenue identified a need for more apparel retailers so residents could shop in their own neighborhood.
In this case, D'Acquisto has worked in retail for 34 years and grew up in a family of Italian women so she believes she knows style and shopping. While she lives in Milwaukee, her mother and sisters reside in Tosa, and she's been a frequent patron of North Avenue businesses.
Prior to opening the store, she did house parties and spent the past summer selling at Bastille Days, TosaFest and other festivals.
"I decided to try the retail storefront during the holidays," she said. "My goal is to make this permanent. But I'm feeling out the waters."
Shoppers will notice her affinity for antiques in her displays and will experience her Italian hospitality.
"I'm talking all the time and am a very warm person - I like to hug my customers," she said.
In addition to the storefronts and individual buildings that are seeing new life, the Alliance hopes to work with the city to attract developers to take on some more significant projects in areas of the district that need attention, Miller said.

Three pro golfers helped with a special tournament Monday.
Vaughn Taylor, Charles Howell, and Jim Dent hosted the annual Adaptive Golf Clinic and Tournament, sponsored by Walton Rehabilitation Health Systems.
Teams made of three able-bodied golfers and one with a different ability headed out to play eighteen at Augusta Municipal Golf Course.
"It was really formed out of a community request, because these golfers really wanted to have an avenue to play a tournament just like everybody else," said Leslie Calsey, Director of the Walton Foundation.
Proceeds from the tournament benefit an overnight summer camp for children and young adults with brain injuries, and also Blaze Sports Augusta, which offers sports opportunities for people with disabilities.

With Climate Change, It Is
Survival of the Oldest, Not the Fittest
When it comes to climate change, the world's oldest species are more likely to survive than newly evolved ones, says a
new study
published in the journal
BMC Evolutionary Biology
Brian Gratwicke/Flickr
The logic is relatively simple: The reason they're so old is that they've been tested by abrupt environmental shifts before and have come out on top. This group includes species like the cane toad and California sea lion. More specifically, the study found the planet's oldest animals all share at least one of the following characteristics: They come in various colors, give birth to live young (as opposed to eggs), and live at low latitudes. The research could help "predict which [species] could be better able to deal with current climate change and to better predict the threat status of species on the red list of the International Union for Conservation of Nature,"
Sylvain Dubey, an ecologist at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland and co-author of the new study.

Kenya to Burn Ivory to Raise
Awareness of Growing Poaching Problem
Kenyan authorities are set to
burn 105 tons of ivory
confiscated from illegally killed elephants this weekend to bring attention to the country's growing poaching problem.
Kenya Wildlife Service
Kenya conducted its first ivory burn in 1989 after elephant populations in the country dropped 90 percent in 15 years, and it has continued to do such burns periodically since. But the systematic cutting back of an international ban on the sale of ivory over the last 15 years has led to the reemergence of large-scale poaching in Africa. Approximately 30,000 to 50,000 elephants were killed on the continent between 2008 and 2013. Soon after announcing the ivory burn, Kenya's president, Uhuru Kenyatta, announced his nation would seek a total ban on elephant ivory during a wildlife trade meeting later this year. "We will not be the Africans who stood by as we lost our elephants,"
he said

Half of All Farmed Fish Have
Deformed Ear Bones That Cause Hearing Loss
Farmed fish have become an increasingly larger share of the world's seafood market in recent decades—now accounting for 50 percent of global seafood consumption.
At the same time, however, debate about the ethics, safety and health of farmed fish versus their wild counterparts has also intensified. A
new study
published in the journal
Nature Scientific Reports
finds that half of all farmed Atlantic salmon have deformed ear bones that lead to hearing loss. These salmon are 10 times more likely to have the deformity than wild fish. The findings "raise questions about the welfare of farmed animals,"
Tim Dempster, a biologist at the University of Melbourne involved in the study. It may also explain why efforts to boost wild populations by releasing farmed juveniles have proven unsuccessful. Hearing loss would prevent farmed fish from detecting predators, or restrict their ability to navigate to breeding sites, the scientists said.

Wooden Skypscrapers Grow in
Popularity in Effort to Reduce Emissions
Architects are increasingly abandoning traditional steel-and-cement skyscrapers in favor of wood-and-glue designs — a move that experts say could help drastically reduce CO2 emissions from the world's building sector.
Acton Ostry Architects
Creating steel, iron, and non-metallic minerals — including concrete — is an energy-intensive process that accounts for more than 10 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. In the 1990s, developers created a product known as cross-laminated timber — planks of wood glued together by a polyurethane adhesive — with the strength and durability of traditional building materials, and far fewer CO2 emissions. With concern for climate change mounting,
wood-based skyscrapers have been popping up around the globe in recent years
. The University of British Columbia, for example, approved an 18-story, wooden housing complex in 2015. "This revolution has happened rather quietly and happened rather slow," Kris Spickler, a heavy timber specialist at Structurlam,
Popular Science
. "But I think we're in a year right now where we're going to see it explode."
From Mass Coral Bleaching,
A Scientist Looks for Lessons
Twice a year, Georgia Tech climate scientist Kim Cobb travels to Christmas Island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean to collect samples from coral reefs to better understand past and future climate change.
Kim Cobb
But when Cobb arrived on the island earlier this month, she was stunned. The corals she had spent the past 18 years studying were largely dead or dying. The scene has become a familiar one across the Pacific and Indian oceans this year as a record-breaking El Niño drove up water temperatures and caused fragile coral reef systems to bleach from stress or die. In an interview with
Yale Environment 360
, Cobb talked about the recent bleaching event, the race to make reefs more resilient, and how coral records could improve short-term climate projections. "What you think reefs might be experiencing in 20 years," she says, "they're experiencing now."
Read the interview.

Historical Citizen-Scientists' Ice
Records Confirm Global Temperature Rise
Centuries-old records from Japanese priests and European shipping merchants are helping scientists confirm that the earth has warmed substantially — and freshwater ice formation significantly decreased — since the Industrial Revolution.
These early record keepers tracked annual freeze dates and the breakup of ice each spring on lakes and rivers for hundreds of years, beginning in the 1440s in Japan and 1690s in Finland. The data represents the oldest known inland ice records. An international team of scientists published a
study this week in
Nature Scientific Reports
examining how ice behavior changed over the records' years. They found that from 1443 to 1683, for example, the annual freeze date of Lake Suwa in Japan moved back 0.19 days per decade. From the start of the Industrial Revolution, however, that trend grew 24 times faster, pushing back the date of ice formation on the lake by 4.6 days per decade.

The Complicated Case of
Global Warming's Impact on Agriculture
Scientists have long debated whether climate change could help or hurt the world's agricultural systems. Theoretically, additional CO2 in the atmosphere should help fuel crop growth.

A farmer plows his fields in southern India.
But global warming's other impacts, such as shifting rain patterns, higher temperatures, and extreme weather, could reduce crop yields. A
new study in the journal
Nature Climate Change
by researchers in a half-dozen countries finds the answer depends on where you live. The scientists found yields of rain-fed wheat could increase by 10 percent, while irrigated wheat, the bulk of India and China's production, could decline by 4 percent. Maize will decrease almost everywhere, down 8.5 percent. Rice and soybean could flourish in some areas and falter in others. "Most of the discussion around climate impacts focuses only on changes in temperature and precipitation,"
Delphine Deryng, an environmental scientist at Columbia University who led the study. "To adapt adequately, we need to understand all the factors involved."

As Smog Continues to Worsen,
New Delhi Bans a Million Cars From the Road
For the second time this year, a million New Delhi cars will be forced to stay off the road each day for the next two weeks in an effort to reduce the city's hazardous air pollution levels.

Smog in New Delhi, India
The Indian capital was ranked the world's most polluted urban center in 2014, with smog concentrations frequently reaching hazardous levels for children, the elderly, and people with heart or respiratory issues. The Delhi decision follows a similar recent driving ban in Mexico City, where heavy smog and high ozone levels have also raised health concerns. But some scientists argue that such bans are insufficient to combat escalating pollution problems in developing world megacities. "It is exactly like taking out 10 buckets of water from the ocean, the magnitude of the pollution problem is such," Gufran Beig, the chief scientist at India's state-run System of Air Quality Weather Forecasting and Research,

Scientists Reimagine The
Tree of Life With New Microbe Knowledge
Following years of intense exploration and research into the microbial world,
scientists have reimagined the tree of life
—the iconic visual representation of the living world first proposed by Charles Darwin in 1859.
Banfield/UC Berkeley
The new tree of life.
The project was led by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, who over the last decade have been gathering DNA from across the globe—from everywhere from meadow soils and river mud to deep sea vents—to reconstruct genomes and describe thousands of new microbial species. Curious how their findings fit into the tree of life, the scientists
used a supercomputer
to visualize how more than 3,000 new and known species related to one another. They discovered that eukaryotes, the group that includes humans, exist on a thin twig compared to the microbial branch of the tree. "The tree of life as we know it has dramatically expanded due to new genomic sampling of previously enigmatic or unknown microbial lineages," the authors
For James Hansen, the Science
Demands Activism on Climate
Climate scientist James Hansen has been a prominent figure in the global climate conversation for more than 40 years. His 1988 congressional testimony on climate change helped introduce the problem of rising greenhouse gas emissions to the American public,
James Hansen
and he has led study after study examining how our world will change as a result of global warming. Eight years ago, Hansen made the rare decision to begin engaging in climate activism—a move that has earned him both praise and criticism from the media and scientific community. In an interview with
Yale Environment 360
last week, Hansen opened up about his unconventional career path and what he believes the world could look like a century from now. "I don't think that I have been alarmist — maybe alarming, but I don't think I'm an alarmist," he said. "We have a society in which most people have become unable to understand or appreciate science, and partly that's a communication problem, which we need to try to alleviate."

More Than 50 Percent of
Great Barrier Reef Affected By Bleaching
Record high ocean temperatures in the western Pacific have caused more than half of the Great Barrier Reef to undergo a mass coral bleaching event this year,
according to a team of Australian scientists
conducting aerial surveys.
ARC Coral Reef Studies
An aerial shot of the Great Barrier Reef in early April.
Corals thrive in a narrow temperature range, and when waters warm above normal—as they have this year from climate change and a strong El Nino—the organisms expel their symbiotic algae, leaving them without a source of food and susceptible to disease. Scientists' next step is studying the corals up close to determine how deep the bleaching is,
Terry Hughes, a marine biologist at James Cook University and head of the Australian coral bleaching task force. "If the corals are severely bleached, then a lot will die," Hughes said. "If they are lightly bleached, which is the case with a lot of reefs south of Townsville, then they'll regain their color over the next couple of months and there won't be much mortality."

How Ancient Algae Could
Help Cure Brain and Breast Cancer
One of the oldest life forms on earth may hold the key to battling hard-to-treat cancers, according to
new research
by scientists at Oregon State University. The compound, coibamide A, is found in blue-green algae, organisms that have existed for at least two billion years. It was found during a diving trip in Panama's Coiba National Park eight years ago and run through the National Cancer Institute's database of potential anti-cancer compounds. Coibamide A was tested on mice and found to be more effective at killing brain and triple negative breast cancer cells—two of the most aggressive and hard-to-treat types of the disease—than anything ever tested before. "The chemical diversity found in nature has always been a significant source of inspiration for drug design and development, but… marine environments remain relatively unexplored," said Jane Ishmael, a cellular biologist at Oregon State University and lead author of the new study.

range from Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, China's panda sanctuaries, and the Grand Canyon in the United States. A new survey by the World Wildlife Fund, however, has found
half of these sites are under threat
from oil and gas development, mining, illegal logging, overfishing, or other industrial activities. Eleven million people live in or near these sites, the report says, and depend on them for their housing, food, water, jobs, or ecosystem services like flood protection and CO2 sequestration. "We are not going to develop a just and prosperous future, nor defeat poverty and improve health, in a weakened or destroyed natural environment," the authors wrote.

El Nino Prevents Phytoplankton
Growth, Endangering Marine Food Web
El Nino—the cyclical warming of the Pacific Ocean—has
wreaked havoc on the world's weather
for the past two years, from a record-breaking number of cyclones in the North Pacific to flooding in South America.

Satellite images of phytoplankton growth.
But scientists at NASA
recently discovered
that the climate phenomenon also has a big impact on phytoplankton, the tiny oceanic organisms that serve as the base of the marine food chain. Normally, ocean currents drive cold, deep water to the surface near the equator, bringing with it a flood of nutrients that feed phytoplankton. El Nino's mass of warm water stops this upwelling. The result is a marked drop in phytoplankton levels. "This decline echoes through many species," said Stephanie Uz, an ocean scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland who led the study. "Small fish that feed on phytoplankton starve. This affects everything from penguin and iguana populations in the Galapagos to governments managing fisheries."

As Habitat Loss Slows Down,
Tigers Could Double In Number By 2022
With populations hovering at less than 3,500 worldwide, tigers have long been considered on the brink of extinction. But scientists finally have good news:
Mathias Appel/Flickr
Habitat loss has slowed down more than expected in recent years due to conservation efforts, and there is now enough forest for tigers to double in number by 2022.
According to a new study in the journal
Science Advances
, less than 8 percent of global tiger habitat disappeared between 2001 and 2014, 98 percent of which happened in Indonesia and Malaysia due to the booming palm oil industry. "It is not a sign that we are in the clear yet, but it does show us that tigers can potentially recover from the edge of extinction if we make the right forest management choices," said Anup Joshi, a conservation biologist at the University of Minnesota and lead author. Tiger populations in Nepal and India, for example, have increased 61 and 31 percent, respectively.

Scientists Study the Skies
To Create a Map of the World's Biomes
Curious where certain species live? Don't look down. Rather, study the skies, according to
new research published in the journal
PLoS Biology
. Scientists from the University of Buffalo and Yale University
Daniel Boyd/Flickr
used images from NASA satellites to build a database of cloud cover for every square kilometer of the planet from 2000 to 2014. They then used the information to map the world's biomes. They found that cloud patterns are a much more accurate way of predicting species distribution than using extrapolated on-the-ground observations, the method most conservationists use today. "Sunlight drives almost every aspect of ecology," Adam Wilson, an ecologist at the University of Buffalo who led the study,
New Scientist
. "So when you put something in between the sun and plants, that is going to have implications on the amount of energy they are receiving, soil moisture, leaf wetness, and humidity—almost everything that is important."
Interview: How Ocean Noise
Wreaks Havoc on Marine Life
Bowing to public pressure, the Obama administration recently reversed an earlier decision to allow oil drilling off the U.S. East Coast. But the five-year moratorium on drilling does not prohibit exploratory seismic air gun surveys
Christopher Clark
used to locate oil and gas reserves under the seabed, and those surveys are expected to be authorized this spring. Cornell University marine bioacoustics expert Christopher Clark says the testing, which can go on for weeks at a time, will only add to the rising din in the oceans. "Imagine that every 10 seconds there is an explosion that is rattling grandma's china out of the cupboard," he says, "and it is falling on the floor." In an interview with
Yale Environment 360
, Clark explains how noise, most of it from ship traffic, severely disrupts marine life, especially among whales. But the good news, he says, is that technologies are being developed to drastically reduce the noise from ships and geological surveying.

A Fish With a Pelvis: Another
Clue Into Our Sea-to-Land Evolution
Biologists have long wondered exactly how fish emerged from the sea and transitioned into vertebrates that could walk on land. To date, most of the information on that shift has come from fossils,

but scientists reported Thursday they have found that a species of fish located only deep in the caves of Thailand
walks the same way land vertebrates do
. The blind waterfall-climbing fish,
Cryptotora thamicola
, first discovered in 1985, has skeletal features similar to a salamander—including a fully formed pelvis—that enable them to climb up rock walls and feed on microbes and organic matter as water comes crashing down on them, the researchers wrote in
Nature Scientific Reports
. "Functionally, it makes perfect sense, but to see it in a fish is incredibly wild,"

The World's Economy Grew,
But Greenhouse Gas Emissions Didn't
Despite a 3.1 percent growth in global GDP in 2015, greenhouse gas emissions remained flat for the second year in a row, according to the International Energy Agency.

A man installs new solar panels in Oregon.
The decoupling of emissions from economic growth is "welcome news," IEA executive director Fatih Birol said in the press statement. "Coming just a few months after the landmark COP21 agreement in Paris, this is yet another boost to the global fight against climate change." The world's nations released 32.1 billion metric tons of greenhouse gases last year, equal to—or perhaps even a slight downtick from—2014, the agency said. The stabilization is likely due to the booming renewable energy industry and global cutbacks on the use of coal, particularly in the U.S. and China, the two largest emitters of carbon dioxide. Chinese emissions, for example, declined 1.5 percent last year.

Five Years After Nuclear Disaster
Fukushima Remains Highly Contaminated
It has been five years since a powerful earthquake and resulting tsunami caused a meltdown at the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan.
Regulators visit the Fukushima site in 2014.
While a few towns closed after the disaster have reopened and some locals have returned, groundwater en route to the ocean, as well as nearby soils, remains highly contaminated with radioactive waste. Toxic water and soil that has been removed by the cleanup project's 8,000 workers sits in a growing number of storage tanks on the property, several of which have leaked. Radiation levels are so high that robots sent to clean up the power plant itself are reportedly
, their circuits fried. "Fukushima Dai-ichi is a complicated cleanup site,"
Dale Klein, a former chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission who now consults for the Tokyo Electric Power Company, which owns the plant. "This will be a several-decades process of cleanup."

, contaminated staple crops like rice, and jeopardized public health. "Looking at the results of soil pollution surveys from relevant departments of the State Council … it's not easy to be optimistic. Some areas are seriously polluted," Yuan Si, deputy head of parliament's Environmental Protection and Resources Conservation Committee,
reporters. The soil pollution law has gone through 10 drafts already and will likely be put on the legislative agenda for 2017, Yuan said.

JP Morgan Will No Longer Invest
In New Coal Mines, Citing Climate Change
JP Morgan will no longer finance new coal mines or support new coal-fired power plants in "high income" countries, the banking giant
in a policy statement on its website.

Bank of America, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo have made similar pledges in recent months, all part of a larger divestment movement aimed at transitioning the world's economies off fossil fuels. The anti-coal campaign has dealt a blow to an already struggling industry. The price of coal has dropped from $140 per ton in 2009 to $42 in 2016 as cheap, abundant natural gas and renewables have flooded the U.S. energy market. At the same time, support for climate action has grown, with the signing of an international climate agreement in Paris last December.

Leading Brands Unsure If Palm
Oil Purchases Linked to Rainforests
Despite well-intentioned pledges
, some of the world's largest consumer companies admitted that
Rainforest in Borneo cleared for palm oil
they have no idea whether the palm oil they purchase from Indonesia is linked to rainforest destruction,
according to a new report from Greenpeace
, which surveyed 14 companies, including PepsiCo, Mars, Unilever, and Johnson & Johnson. "Palm oil is found in so many products, which is why brands have a responsibility to their customers to act,"
said Greenpeace's Annissa Rahmawati
. "But our survey shows that brands are not doing enough to stop the palm oil industry ransacking Indonesia's rainforests." Indonesia is the world's largest producer of palm oil, a vegetable oil used in a wide range of household products, from lipstick to soap to instant noodles, and environmentalists have long argued the industry is a leading cause of deforestation. Since 1990, Indonesia has lost 76 million acres of forest, an area almost equal to the size of Germany.

China's CO2 Emissions Fell in 2015 Due to Decline in Coal, Boost in Renewables
China's greenhouse gas emissions fell for the second year in a row in 2015, down 1 to 2 percent, according to a Greenpeace
of new data released by China's National Bureau Statistics.
The Tangshanpeng Wind Farm in northern China.
reduced its coal consumption 3.7 percent
in 2015, and installed 32.5 gigawatts (GW) of wind and 18.3 GW of solar power. The country's recent economic slowdown also helped reduce emissions. China is currently the world's largest emitter of CO2, responsible for nearly a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions. At a UN climate conference in Paris in December, China pledged to peak its emissions by 2030 and boost renewables. "These statistics show that China is on track to far surpass its Paris climate targets," said Lauri Myllyvirta, a senior campaigner on coal for Greenpeace. "However, the trend is not moving as fast as it could."

Scientists find new large lizard species on remote Papua New Guinea island
Scientists have discovered the first new large lizard species in Papua New Guinea in over 20 years. The lizard was found on Mussau Island, one of the northernmost islands in country, by a team of Finnish and Australian researchers.
The new
Varanus semotus
The scientists have dubbed the new species,
Varanus semotus
, a "biogeographical oddity" because it is separated by several hundred miles from its next of kin. Islands in the Pacific Ocean lack predatory mammals, so large lizards, commonly known as monitor lizards, the most famous of which is the Komodo dragon, fill that role. The new lizard measures 3 feet 3 inches, has a black body covered with yellow and orange markings, and a pale yellow tongue. "Isolation is the keyword here,"
Valter Weijola, a graduate student from the University of Turku in Finland who led the trip. "It is what has driven speciation and made the South-Pacific region one of the world's biodiversity hotspots."

China's Wind Power Sector
Experienced Rapid Growth in 2015
China installed
nearly half of all new global wind power generation
last year and added as much new wind energy capacity in one year as the total capacity of the leading U.S. wind-producing states — Texas, Iowa, and California. Bloomberg New Energy Finance reports that China installed nearly 29 gigawatts of new wind-power capacity last year, surpassing the previous record of 21 gigawatts in 2014. China's new wind energy capacity dwarfed the next-largest market, the United States, which added 8.6 gigawatts in 2015. Analysts said China's wind sector grew rapidly because of declining manufacturing and installation costs, generous government feed-in tariffs, improving transmission capacity, and the government's campaign to curb pollution from coal-fired power plants.

Rush to Electric Vehicles
Is Worsening Air Pollution in China
The push by the Chinese government and the country's automakers to expand production of electric vehicles is
actually worsening air pollution
and carbon emissions because most of China's electricity is still produced by coal-fired power plants, new studies show. Thanks to government incentives, production of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles is expected to grow six-fold to two million cars and trucks by 2020. But studies by researchers at Tsinghua University show that electric vehicles charged in China with coal-fired power produce two to five times as many particulates and other pollutants as gasoline cars. The Tsinghua studies call into question the government policy of promoting deployment of electric vehicles while the vast majority of the country's electricity still comes from coal. "International experience shows that cleaning up the air doesn't need to rely on electric vehicles," said one analyst. "Clean up the power plants."

. A group of scientists, led by Indian biologist Sathyabhama Das Biju, identified the frogs as part of a new genus,
, and said the frogs could be living across a wide swath of Asia. But that doesn't mean the frogs are safe, Biju said. They were found at high altitudes in a diversity hotspot under threat from agricultural development. The frog has some very unusual characteristics, such as breeding inside tree hollows 20 feet above ground, where it feeds its tadpoles unfertilized eggs in small pools of water.

Scientists Warn of Biodiversity
Impacts of Major Hydropower Projects
Hydropower is considered by many to be a key ingredient to reducing carbon emissions and meeting global climate goals,
The Belo Monte dam under construction in the Amazon
but it comes at a great cost to biodiversity, particularly in tropical rainforests, according to
a new report
published in the journal
. "Far too often in developing tropical countries, major hydropower projects have been approved and their construction begun before any serious assessments of environmental and socioeconomic impacts had been conducted," says the report's lead author Kirk Winemiller, an aquatic ecologist at Texas A&M University. The dam-building rush, with more than 450 dams planned for the Amazon, Congo, and Mekong river basins alone, impedes tropical fish migration and vastly expands deforestation due to road construction, according to the authors. Other concerns include development of previously inaccessible terrain, as well as methane emissions from newly built reservoirs.

I loved going to Ramlieh in Lebanon, it's just amazing. There are so many things that you can do there!
Like, zip lining or a whole course where there are rope climbing or walking across logs and tiny little planks of wood!
The food there was amazing there spaghetti so good also there chicken!It was the best field trip I ever went on!
Now you can see that it was the best thing ever I'm also soooooo happy that I went there, I hope that they will take us there again!

Ramlieh was really fun but it was freezing when we got there. I loved the course that we went on where you have to attach yourself to a rope and then walk on another rope, then you walk on logs and I was about to fall! then there was the zipline and it was awesome and i think i really stuck the landing.

A couple of months my class and three grade 5 class went on a camping trip to Ramlieh. I was so exited to go on this camping trip because my mom went there last year.
She told me that we will do a lot of activities. When we got there we went on a hike in the cedars their was not that much snow but inuf to buld a snow man. When we were done on the hike we had a snack. We went to the lodge we chose our rooms put our bags in them and had some free time. Later that day we had lunch. That night we went on a walk. The second we did something very cool but scary. when lunch was done we went back to Beirut.

Government Uses Anti-Terror Laws to Crush Dissent and Help the Too Big to Fail Businesses
For years, the government has been using anti-terror laws to crush dissent and to help the too big to fail businesses compete against smaller businesses (and see this).
This trend is getting worse by the day.
On January 31, 2012, the Department of Homeland Security's Behavioral Science Division pointed to the following as indicators of potential terrorism (please note – as you review the list – that some indicators are conservative, some are liberal and some are bipartisan):
- "Reverent of individual liberty"
- "Anti-nuclear"
- "Believe in conspiracy theories"
- "A belief that one's personal and/or national "way of life" is under attack"
- "Impose strict religious tenets or laws on society (fundamentalists)"
- "Insert religion into the political sphere"
- "Those who seek to politicize religion"
- "Supported political movements for autonomy"
- "Anti-abortion"
- "Anti-Catholic"
- "Anti-global"
- "Suspicious of centralized federal authority"
- "Fiercely nationalistic (as opposed to universal and international in orientation)"
- "A belief in the need to be prepared for an attack either by participating in … survivalism"
Given that most Americans fall into one or more of these categories, the powers-that-be can brand virtually anyone they dislike as being a terrorist.
Indeed, judges and prosecutors discuss conspiracies every day, and federal and all 50 state's codes include specific statutes addressing conspiracy, and specifying punishment for people who commit conspiracies. (But surely judges, prosecutors and legislators are not terrorists.)
And Public Intelligence notes:
A flyer from a series created by the FBI and Department of Justice to promote suspicious activity reporting states that espousing conspiracy theories or anti-US rhetoric should be considered a potential indicator of terrorist activity. The document, part of a collection published yesterday by Public Intelligence, indicates that individuals who discuss "conspiracy theories about Westerners" or display "fury at the West for reasons ranging from personal problems to global policies of the U.S." are to be considered as potentially engaging in terrorist activity. For an example of the kinds of conspiracy theories that are to be considered suspicious, the flyer specifically lists the belief that the "CIA arranged for 9/11 to legitimize the invasion of foreign lands."
I have verified the authenticity of the flyer: here it is posted on the Columbus Police Department's website. (Take screenshots; it might soon be moved from the public section of the website.)
A number of PhD economists say that idiotic government policies and ruthless behavior by the big banks have led to Depression-level unemployment. Many patriotic Americans believe the same thing. Does that make them terrorists?
Many high-level military and intelligence officials say that the never-ending wars in the Middle East and North Africa are reducing our national security and causing unnecessary misery (and see this). Many patriotic Americans believe the same thing. Does that make them terrorists?
Many 9/11 Commissioners, congressmen and high-level military and intelligence leaders believe that there was a cover up regarding 9/11 and that the full story has never been told. Many patriotic Americans believe the same thing. Does that make them terrorists?
The list of activities or attitudes which may get an American citizen labeled as a terrorist grows longer by the day. Indeed, the "terrorist" label in modern America is no different from the label during the Stalinist era of "traitor to the Communist party". It can be used by those in the halls of power to arbitrarily punish any of the commoners
Even if some of these characteristics don't get one labeled as a terrorist, they may very well get one labeled as crazy. Specifically, government apologists are eager to label anyone "taking a cynical stance toward politics, mistrusting authority, endorsing democratic practices, … and displaying an inquisitive, imaginative outlook" as worthy of a Stalinist trip to the insane asylum.

- "Suspicious of centralized federal authority"
- "Posts dissenting views of US finanicial policy on Zero Hedge"
- "Ridicules the globalists on Zero Hedge"
- "Call bullshit on the status quo on Zero Hedge"
- "Mocks the Military Industrial Complex on Zero Hedge"
- Oh WTF, all readers and poster on Zero Hedge"
- "Fiercely nationalistic (as opposed to universal and international in orientation)"
- "A belief in the need to be prepared for an attack either by participating in … survivalism"
By the definitions given by DHS ,me and eveyone I know is a "potential terrorist"
Thats o.k ,we all think the DHS is part of a terorist organization too.
Even Steven...
Then you and your friends effectively make a "sleeper cell." Thank goodness they're not using domestic drones armed with Hellcat missle on the general population -- yet! But once NDAA goes into effect, expect a late night knock on the door followed by a trip to Gitmo.
George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Paul Revere, some guy name Monty...
wanted for terrorism... no statute of limitation
call your local gestapo if you even THINK you have seen them (you better - we'll know if you didn't and then we'll get you too!).
J. Goebbels jr
Anti-Nuclear Power or Anti-Nuclear weapons??? Never mind, I'm for both, so I'm safe on that count.
I do have a nagging question ... if a terrorist is pro nuclear (power, weapons, both, whatever), does that mean he is really not a terrorist?
No, it means Iran runs OPEC. Axis of evil, and were the hub.
...no Alarmist, it means they are a Lobbiest and retired Legislator or active, Nobel Peace Prize winner ...or a good actor like Regan ...err someone deregulatish and bailout Nuvo Rich. You know, someone like Henry Kissinger or Rosemary's Baby Suicide Vampire Squid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1XTyqcfLNo
In Congress... February, 9,2012,
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. -declaration of independence.
It's time for the ass clowns to go.
Go read the new terrorist manifesto yourself: http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/document/
You have to hand it to the paranoid shrinks who come up with these kinds of idiotic checklists to satisfy their masters. Talk about throwing a wide net; I think they got all of us with some hits on that one - maybe that's the point. I'm reminded of the BBC documentary "The Trap," that shows how incompetent the field is as a whole, and the political implications that result from their practices. Maybe someone should point out to them that terrorism is a tactic, not a personality profile. (Not that they're not doing their best to conflate these two logical categories)
It's very funny to me that they use the oxymoron Behavioral Science. That's like saying the science of economics. It's not a science. It's just a set of unjustifiable underlying assumptions that lead to a set of myths without any basis in fact.
Cue Monty Python's "She's a witch"
laws can be broken.
government is not using some magical powers and laws. Government just using docile ignorants who have been brained washed to believe anything coming from TV.
In America, smart people get in huge debt to get educated and when they find out the truth, university cops whose job security, pensions and salaries come from the same productive workers' taxes, beat the shit out of you for even attempting to disrupt the status quo.
Any idea time wise they gonna start rounding us up.Those elites are getting old,well some are.For this to happen it will need to be really bad.
...any Saint worth their salt scares the crap out of the FBI Agents that show up at the door. All you need to do is tell them the truth and they run, like they suddenly realized the people that fear Saints are guilty and they happen to be the people that sent them to the door. No joke. Lol.
Big everything should stand down-- if they don't "time and history" will conspire to terrorize them like they cannot begin to imagine. Murphy's Law (the official document of anarchy and terrorists against planned anything) says it will happen. So take that.
Here is the American Citizen check list to confirm that we live in a Fascist Outlaw America et al the Federal Government.
We The People have compiled a list of conclusions that our Country is operating under an Outlaw regime listed facts within the body of this brief.
When your officials put 4,300 new laws on the books for 2012.
When the President of the USA get's caught with a C___k in his mouth.
When DHS refuses to gaurd a south eastern part of the Mexican border and removes all agent's from the area.
When it is found out that Patrick Kennedy demanded Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab be allowed to board and Amsterdam flight without a VISA or Passport and just happened to attempt to light his junk on fire. PTFP need's a blasting cap, Fed's didn't tell him that.
When we have a 9/11 attack and the Bush White House blocks any investigation and supresses critical info to the 9/11 Comission panel, Warren comission comes to mind.
When your Federal Govt. begins sueing Border states for attempting to protect their borders from drug trafficers. Sheriff Babou.
When scum bag CEO's like saay.. Jon Corzine are still walking free.
When the SEC would rather watch porn than do their job.
When the Federal Govenment DHS considers returning Veterans "potential terrorists" and a risk to National security. MIAC report.
When the TSA get's a "secret clearance" so they can't speak to the media or tell the truth of what's really going on.
When your local police are Federalized and funded and don't tell anyone.
Warrentless wiretaps, suspension of habeas corpus, suspension of Posse comitatus, Not vetoing the Patriot act part I and II. Allowing a vile Bill to be passed NDAA S1867 which shreds the Bill of Right's and suspends the Constitution all in one fell swoop.
The Govenment openly delared war on the American people on 12-30-11.
You my friends are tried and convicted in the court of public opinion.
All searchable items.
The Enemy.
c___k = chevy truck right?
This is actually really good news.
Imagine you are a police chief reading this in rural or economically depressed area. Everyone in your district qualifies as a terrorist one way or another. You realize that the time is soon coming to choose between the locals (that already view you with suspicion) and the Feds. The wackier and more ridiculous the Feds get, the more sane the locals look. Sure, the DHS has bought you some nice toys in the last decade, but it might be a good idea to go down to the diner and have a cup of joe with the local "terrorists".
The Feds are awakening to find themselves on the wrong side of history and their desperation is showing. Who is going to side with them as the sheeple awaken?
Active Armed Forces?
Local police?
Didn't think so.
If THAT'S what a "terrorist" is, then I'm PROUD to be one.
U have no idea....What is Bioterrorism?
A bioterrorism attack is the deliberate release of viruses, bacteria, or other germs (agents) used to cause illness or death in people, animals, or plants.What is Human Sewage Sludge?
Class B - biologically active human waste (ecoli,mrsa,listeria,etc) which is used by big agriculture as FERTILIZER to grow food for american dinner plates.Why is using this not bioterrorism?
Because the feds say so.Is it linked to human disease?
No, cause gov says it cant be.
But issues are starting to pop up....remember those cataloupes last year that had listeria which killed over 20 people? Interesting time folks......
They left one out:
"Insert religion into the political sphere"
"Those who seek to politicize religion"
"Read Zerohedge.com"
"Supported political movements for autonomy"
Dear DHS, why did you guys (FEDs) blow up a daycare center in the Oklahoma federal building? INFOWARS
"Government Uses Anti-Terror Laws to Crush Dissent and Help the Too Big to Fail Businesses"
We moan and moan and we moan some more ...and through it all, illegal wars abroad and criminal corruption at home, we sit on our sofas like plucked turkeys and fund Govt by paying our taxes to these deranged public parasites
Let me repeat that one more time: We fund global anarchy, murder and mahem (yes YOU do). And we sponsor our own suppression (yes YOU do). Double-dumb eh?
The Day We Stop Paying Taxes and stop funding this shithole called Govt is the day we wake up and take some responsibility for our social disorder and say 'No' to this farce democracy. Until then it's....
'Nobodys Fault But Mine'
..from the Mothership of Rock & Metal, Led Zeppelin. Enjoy (while you still can). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMKzTJeXQ7o
and only Ron Paul says NO FEDERAL INCOME TAX!! And people won't vote for him? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT ABOUT?? People are FUCKING STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPID!!!
If I stop working for Master, he won't have enough to take care of me!
I need Master to take care of and protect me - the world is a scary place and people are bad.
Good thing Master has a big gun - he'll make sure nothing bad happens to me.
- This Administration is off the fukin rails..
* Reverent of individual liberty" Yes.
- "Anti-nuclear" No.
- "Believe in conspiracy theories" Only the ones the Govt. contrive without investigations. you know, like 9/11 than Yes.
- "A belief that one's personal and/or national "way of life" is under attack" Yes.
- "Impose strict religious tenets or laws on society (fundamentalists)" No.
- "Insert religion into the political sphere" No.
- "Those who seek to politicize religion" No.
- "Supported political movements for autonomy" No.
- "Anti-abortion" No.
- "Anti-Catholic" No.
- "Anti-global" Free trade? Yes. Getting sent to offshore detention centers? not so much.
- "Suspicious of centralized federal authority" Fukin A. Yes.
- "Fiercely nationalistic (as opposed to universal and international in orientation)" Damn right. This is Merica, love it or leave it. preferably the latter in my case.
- "A belief in the need to be prepared for an attack either by participating in … survivalism" Damn Skippy!
Did I pass?
The Enemy.
Here's the part that bothers me, being a terrorist is no crime, unless you are actively CONSPIRING to commit a terrorist act. They will convict you based on A CONSPIRACY THEORY WHICH THEY BELIEVE YOU ENGAGED, AND THEIR THRESHOLD FOR ARREST IS THAT YOU BELIEVE IN CONSPIRACY THEORIES?? shouldn't they convict themselves first?? hmm
So I sometimes drink, and I sometimes drive, but never at the same time. Now in the interest of PRIOR RESTRAINT, I was denied the right to drive and drink in a condition of .08 BA in my state anyway. And in fact they can stop me at a roadside stop, and arrest me if my BA is above the limit, even when I have broken no laws, and have no intention of doing so. Now I think that if the first paragraph is true anyone who buys alcoholic beverages and has a drivers license is guilty of CONSPIRACY to commit a DUI. Now of course a DUI is in and of itself only an administrative punishment, the real criminal punishment is for causing an accident, or having a moving violation. But at anywhere from 5 to 10 grand for a DUI that represents a form of servitude for essentially making a conspiracy to unintentionally violate the law.
I agree, Like, Barry Soetoro sometimes sucks D__k. Other times he is in bed with his wife, so you can't make a blanket statement against Barry and call him a C__k S____r all the time.. right? I get it.
Here's the part that bothers me, being a terrorist is no crime, unless you are actively CONSPIRING to commit a terrorist act.
The PTB undoubtedly will rectify that 'weak link' asap. Perhaps Herr Lieberman is already on it. More cameras everywhere to protect us from terrorists--the kind that can read a note that you have in your pocket!
to be more obtuse, if that's possible, a guy who buys alcohol and who drives a car is more guilty than the person who has the alcohol in the trunk of his car, where he can't possibly consume it. this is what happens when you pile Prior Restraint laws on top of one another.
now we talk about WMDs in Iraq, and some are critical because there weren't any, but the issue held up because there MIGHT HAVE BEEN. you see once Iran has a nuclear weapon, for instance, and they haven't used it, (which is a premise we can make once we know they have the weapon, that they haven't used it) the earlier premise that they MIGHT use such a weapon once they develop that weapon, is nullified. therefore we can only attack Iran before it has a nuclear weapon because once it has such a weapon. once they have such a weapon, and without using it, we no longer have an issue. the weapon is now in the trunk so to speak.
Well you've done admirably well explaining THEIR twisted logic. And I'm looking forward to a round of jameson in a couple hours.
but the issue held up because there MIGHT HAVE BEEN
He who holds the power defines the issues--well done.
So George, just how is it you can understand this criminal enterprise, yet still vote for more of it?
Whiskey Rebellion, indeed!
More cheap propaganda.
Is a Terrorist anyone US citizens choose to see as a terrorist.
Once again, the activities, the actions etc do not matter with US citizens.
Tomorrow, people will be labelled terrorists and treated as such by US citizens without belonging to the list.
I would like to share some rather personal issues with you. I think you are the kind of sensitive soul that would like to share. I have met some people in my country that make big decisions. The big decision people want to share also. Now, please I ask, can I call you LEO ? If you can be Leo, I can share more.
I think you are the kind of sensitive soul that would like to share.
How noble, and yet how misguided.
Share with a Chinese citizenism citizen? Make me laugh!
Chinese citizenism is all about invading, conquering, taking, exploiting, destroying and blobbing up.
Your desire to share with duplicitious Chinese citizenism citizen would only result in being taken advantage of (like US in trade with China), as your genuine personal concerns would only be exploited, cast aside and blobbed away, leaving only an empty shell where there was once DOT, like victim of some pod person body snatcher.
Chinese citizenism citizens are pod people (That is why they all look alike).
Beware of them getting close to you, or spitting on you, or stepping in their roadside spittle and turds, or you will become infected with the curse of Chinese citizenism.
I think the list is pretty all inclusive though. Do you know where I can place an order for a few million "SUSPECTED TERRORIST" t-shirts?
More hypocrisy and logical fallacies from Chinese citizenism citizen.
Make me laugh!
It is the crypto-fascist, running dog Chinese imperialist regime that is the true terrorist, at home and abroad.
Never forget the environmental terrorism that the greedy, running dog Chinese regime is inflicting on its own Chinese citizenism citizens, via poisoning and destroying its own lands all in the greedy quest for rare earth elements to hoard and blob up.
Never forget the cultural terrorism that the brutal, crypto-fascist Chinese regime is inflicting upon the poor people of conquered Tibet --- those that it has still left alive (for now).
Never forget the geo-political terrorism that the revanchist, imperialist Chinese regime is inflicting against the peace-loving inhabitants of the free and independent Republic of Taiwan, whom the ruling Chinese cabal wish to blob up.
Such gross hypocrisy and tortured mental gymnastics from Chinese citizenism citizens --- makes me laugh!
But that is the inherent and eternal nature of public spitting, nose-picking, running dog Chinese citizenism citizens.
Guess what happens in LA County if you have fun? http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2012/02/08/la-county-oks-1000-fine-for-throwing-football-frisbee-on-beaches/
that is so amazing, i think you could probably get off easier if you were chasing small children with your ding dong in your hand.
In other words America..."Be like the Kardashians, The Jersey Shore cast, and all the other sit com characters we put on TV for you to emulate! Otherwise we lock you in prison!"
check me off on all the above and then some, yeah, I'm a bonafide terrorist, and proud of it!
Part II
Our last sentence:
"Intensive pattern analysis, link analysis, and link and group analysis indicates five principal players involved: the Blackstone Group, Veritas Capital, AIG, the office of the VP and the office of the SecDef."
(Part I can be found at either of these two links below.)
Some time prior to 9/11/01, a financial news announcement would explain an investment by AIG in the Blackstone Group (source document of transaction, along with hard copy source documents of thousands of ongoing SEC investigations resided in the destroyed WTC Building 7 – no source docs, case closed!). The amount of AIG's investment was approximately the final insurance payout amount to the property management/RE firm for the WTC destruction (classic paper money false transfer and money laundering scheme, relatively simple --- for a far more circuitous, and commonplace, accounting scheme, please see Retirement Heist, by Ellen Schultz, p. 209 on "leveraged ESOPs").
The mortgage owner of record for WTC Building 7: the Blackstone Group.
The firm awarded the $1 billion captive insurance fund management contract by Bush's FEMA, for settlement with WTC victims' families: the Blackstone Group.
The firm which negotiated the largest and quickest real estate deal in NYC history, the WTC lease transfer from the Port Authority of NY and NJ to Silverstein Properties and Westfield America, Inc.: the Blackstone Group.
During the week prior to 9/11/01, the fiber optic installation firm, EurekaGGN, installed dark fiber in the top floors of the two WTC towers (they had the contract for cabling the entire WTC), utilizing a method to pump the fiber optical cables through existing HVAC vents running beneath each floor.
[To reiterate: the west wall of the Pentagon had been reinforced, according to Structure Magazine, which also posed the question as to why only one wall and a plane crashes into it. Fiber optic is being installed, but never verified as to being operational, in the WTC towers, and planes crash into them --- access, access, access!]
Technical details not widely known: two of the four airliners involved didn't appear on the FAA Flight Registry which logs all commercial flights, per standard procedure, as they were reserved as DoD Special Charters, meaning that each plane must seat those reserved for DoD personnel, and must depart at the schedule time, but any remaining seats may be filled commercially.
Aircraft pointedly flew to shadow zones – where radar coverage was obscured due to topography and ATCC limitations – where the transponders were then powered down – normally, they would have triggered ATCC radar indicators. (Highly doubtful those Saudi Arabian hijacker cutouts would have known these recondite details?); and recovered black box data, obtained through FOIA requests, give no indication of any hijacking taking place (and yes, there does exist a governmental database of black box hijacking data for comparison purposes).
There were over 1,000 other "coincidences" which took place that morning, all tracking back to the five principal players.
Recap: $2.3 trillion announced unaccounted, and DIA's financial management group is almost entirely wiped out, along with involved computer systems, dramatically increased data transmissions and EFTs out of WTC towers in preceding 12 hours, and people and computer systems involved are killed and destroyed, with explosive growth in offshore hedge funds occurring shortly thereafter.
Veritas Capital, owner of Raytheon subsidiary which employed those remote piloting hardware and software developers and subcontractors aboard some of those airliners involved in 9/11, and Veritas Capital makes some incredibly prescient defense industry investments shortly prior to 9/11/01.
Increasing the awareness of evil….

Letter written in response to the article "Remember why Hiroshima happened" in The Edmonton Sun on 12 August 2000
By Mr. Ryuichiro Yamazaki
Spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan
We regret that Paul Jackson's article on 12 August entitled "Remember why Hiroshima happened" contains some crucial errors.
The article claims that Japan has never officially apologized for its actions during the Second World War. The fact is that Japan has repeatedly expressed its remorse and stated its apology for wartime actions with the utmost clarity. A notable example is then Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama's official statement in August 1995, based upon a Cabinet decision. In the statement, Mr. Murayama said that Japan "through its colonial rule and aggression, caused tremendous damage and suffering to the people of many countries, particularly to those of Asian nations," and he expressed his "feelings of deep remorse" and stated his "heartfelt apology."
It should further be noted that in the statement on 15 August of this year at the ceremony to mark the 55th year since the end of the Second World War, Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori referred once again to the fact that Japan caused tremendous sufferings and sadness to many countries during the War with his feelings of deep remorse.
Mr. Jackson also claims that the war is "glossed over" in Japanese schools. In fact, all 33 middle and high schools history textbooks used in Japan's primary and secondary schools mention the damages and sufferings caused by Japan's wartime actions.
As one of the pillars of its post-war diplomacy, Japan has consistently endeavored to build friendly and constructive relations with neighboring countries. This policy has been developed due to Japan's sincere reflection upon its wartime actions.
