Millions of migrating cows are at risk of death on the Sudan-South Sudan border, nomads warned on Thursday, because the two nations have failed to open the frontier as agreed several months ago.
The cattle have fallen victim to the inability of Sudan and South Sudan to implement key security and economic agreements which their presidents signed in September.
The leaders had hailed the pacts, which called for a reopening of border points, following a March-April war on the undemarcated frontier.
"We want to cross the river with our animals but South Sudan has closed the area," Mahmoud Gibril, a local leader from the nomadic Rezeigat tribe, told AFP.
He said two million cows, their herders and families have been stuck north of the Bahr al-Arab River since mid-December, waiting to go south on their annual dry-season migration.
"These cows are suffering from a lack of grass and water," Gibril said.
Later in December, the Rezeigat and "armed groups" from South Sudan clashed around the river at Samaha, according to the Sudanese military.
The area, which Sudan considers part of East Darfur state, is disputed by the two countries.
Gibril said South Sudanese security forces have a compound along the waterway "and they don't allow anyone to come near."
The blockade has concentrated the nomads and their animals in a small area, where there is no Sudanese military or police presence, he added.
"If this continues until the beginning of April, most of these animals will die," Gibril said.
A South Sudanese official had no details but said "definitely these kind of things can happen" as long as the September deals have not been implemented. "Hostility on any part of the border affects the whole border," he added.
The frontiers have never been as tightly shut as this year, a foreign diplomat told AFP.
"I am worried at the moment about developments on the ground," the diplomat, said, asking for anonymity.
Rough estimates show that about 7.5 million animals, mostly cattle, have been prevented from reaching their traditional water points and grazing areas, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation said.
"Already last year, there had been problems of livestock congestion at the border. Implementing the September agreement could have prevented similar problems this year," the organisation said in a statement to AFP.
Four tribes are reportedly affected in South and East Darfur, in South Kordofan state and the Abyei region, the FAO said, but there are "divergent reports" about who is preventing the migration through areas that are home to various armed groups.
Another Rezeigat cattle herder, Idam Abubakr, told AFP that the nomads depend on water from the Bahr al-Arab but South Sudan had "occupied" Samaha which prevented passage.
"Two weeks ago, 90 cows went to the river and were taken by South Sudan's army," Abubakr said.
FAO said the current over-concentration of livestock will eventually lead to rapid depletion of pasture and water points, which for the moment are still plentiful.
"If no solution is found until March or April, the condition of the animals is likely to deteriorate rapidly," the FAO said.
The September agreements, along with opening the boundaries for trade and passage, called for a demilitarised buffer zone along the frontier and a resumption of South Sudanese oil exports through northern pipelines.
Khartoum's accusation that South Sudan, which separated in 2011, supports rebels north of the border has been a major obstacle to implementing the deals.
Gibril said the animals may not have the patience of politicians.
"The cows, sometimes their owners cannot stop them. They can cross the river without permission from anyone and this will create real trouble for their owners," he said.

ABC NEWS: Stem cells regrow damaged nerves in rats: US study
Stem cells taken from mouse embryos have helped paralyzed rats move again, U.S. researchers said on Monday. The study was the best evidence so far that controversial embryonic stem cells might be used to treat people with spinal cord and other traumatic injuries, the researchers said...
"This work is a remarkable advance that can help us understand how stem cells might be used to treat injuries and disease and begin to fulfill their great promise," said Dr. Elias Zerhouni, director of the National Institutes of Health, which funded the study.
As Craig at Objective Standard says, "It's good to play God."

The van was pulling a trailer loaded with gym weights across the U.S. 98 bridge over Apalachicola Bay when it turned over on its left side Monday.
Florida Highway Patrol troopers said the weight of the trailer caused it to bounce and weave, resulting in the accident.
Department of Corrections spokeswoman Gretl Plessinger said the inmates were helping move items from one school to another.
She said the officer, who was driving the van, and the inmates were released from hospitals in Apalachicola and Tallahassee Monday night.

Germany's Largest Utilities Downgraded by S&P on Weak Profits
Germany's two largest utilities were downgraded by credit agency Standard & Poor's as falling power prices worsen the outlook for profits.
EON AG, the country's biggest utility, was downgraded one level to A-, the fourth-lowest investment grade. RWE AG was cut to BBB+ from A-, S&P said in statements today.
At RWE, Standard & Poor gave poor power prices, loss-making gas supply contracts and slow progress in a 7 billion-euro ($8.7 billion) disposal program as reasons for the downgrade. Fitch also cut the credit rating of Germany's second-largest utility today, to A- from A.
German wholesale power for delivery next year has dropped 17 percent this year as the European's economic crisis cuts regional demand for electricity.
"RWE is in a good position to access the bond market at attractive conditions at all times," Rolf Pohlig, RWE's chief financial officer, said in a statement the company published today. "We assume that this will continue to be the case."
EON didn't return a call for comment immediately.

Wordpress developers, you might find this useful, it's a bash script I wrote to synchronize development and production sites:
SyncDB v0.1
SyncDB is bash deploy script meant to take the tedium out of synchronizing local and remote versions of a Wordpress site. It allows developers working in a local environment (eg. MAMP) to rapidly "push" or "pull" changes to or from their production server with a single terminal command.

The Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union, in San Francisco, is the world's largest gathering of earth and space scientists. Scores of researchers from the Earth Institute will give presentations. Read about the 2015 and past years' meetings here.
LDEO Research Blogs
The nations of the world meet in Paris starting Nov. 30 to discuss how to confront climate change. The goal: Keep global temperature from rising 2 degrees Celsius above the preindustrial average. Many scientists feel that is already impossible. But the United States, China and many other nations have committed to trying. The Earth Institute has long been at the forefront of climate science, policy and possible solutions. Here we offer stories to help readers sort through the issues, the science and the consequences.
The U.S. GEOTRACES program launches into the Arctic Ocean as part of a multi-nation, multiple ice-breaker effort to study marine trace elements. Trace elements play two opposing roles in the ocean, as both essential nutrients (iron, zinc, cobalt) and as toxins (arsenic, copper) affecting biologic productivity and carbon cycling. Studying these elements in the Arctic marine system can help us understand the biogeochemical responses to rapid climate change. Lamont-Doherty geochemist Tim Kenna is on the U.S. team, aboard the USCG Cutter Healy research icebreaker.
At the base of the polar food chain in the icy waters off Antarctica, phytoplankton are an essential food source for young krill, which in turn sustain many species of marine wildlife. Jeff Bowman is in Antarctica for the field season studying how phytoplankton and bacteria interact, particularly their cooperative interactions. Toxic compounds produced by phytoplankton, for example, may be cleaned up by bacterial partners, allowing photosynthesis to proceed more efficiently, ultimately meaning more food in the food web.
As volcanologists at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, we love everything lava. Right now, we're exploring how the structure of the surfaces lava flows over influences how it advances. Does it matter if the lava is flowing on loose sand or solid rocks? On a road or a grassy field or into a forest?
We headed to the "Volcanologists' Disneyland" — also known as Iceland — to find out.

text: Free-Standing REITS Getting Busy As I wrote in a previous article on The Street, I Can't Believe It! What an O-mazing Dividend Machine, Realty Income ( O) announced it was acquiring American Realty Capital Trust ( ARCT) in a deal valued at $2.95 billion. When the deal closes in a few months, Realty Income will be the 18th largest REIT in the U.S., based on total pro forma equity market capitalization. It will be twice as large as the next largest net lease REIT. Realty Income will finance the purchase by issuing $1.9 billion of common stock to American Realty Capital Trust shareholders. It will assume about $526 million in debt and immediately repay about $574 million of outstanding debt and transaction expenses. In another article I wrote recently, W. P. Carey Traditionally 'Investing for the Long Run' I detailed the recent merger of W. P. Carey & Co. LLC and Corporate Property Associates 15 Inc. --now one, W. P. Carey Inc. The new REIT now has more than $5 billion in net-leased real estate ($3.1 billion in equity market cap and $1.9 billion in debt). Also, last week I wrote an article, This Small Cap REIT Is a Diamond in the Rough in which I recommended CapLease's (LSE) CapLease's ( LSE) preferred Series A issue that has a yield of 8.22%. As I wrote, the common shares have sky-rocketed over the last year (perhaps because of the muted risks of a tenant) and the company's year-over-year total return is an extraordinary 64.11%. Another hidden gem in the free-standing sector is American Realty Capital Properties ( ARCP). Not to be confused with ARCT (mentioned above), the smaller sister, ARCP, has an interesting value proposition in that the company invests in older, more mature, triple-net properties leased to companies like HomeDepot ( HD) , Family Dollar ( FD) and CVS ( CVS) . The company started climbing in mid June (from $10.00 per share) and it has rocketed up to around $12.88 (closed last). That's a whopping 32% total return in just six months. Prev 1 of 3 Next

Wiregrass authorities are on the look out for a man who robbed an enterprise restaurant last night.
At approximately 10:30, a pizza hut employee was leaving after closing the business on Rucker Boulevard.
That's when he was approached by the suspect holding a handgun.
The employee turned over the night deposit bag and the suspect then fled on foot through some nearby woods.
The suspect is only described as a black man about five-foot-nine inches tall and weighing around 200-pounds.
If you have any information on the armed robbery, you are asked to contact the enterprise police department by calling 347-2222.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Americans increasingly are convinced - incorrectly - that President Barack Obama is a Muslim, and a growing number are thoroughly confused about his religion.
A poll finds that nearly one in five people, or 18 percent, think Obama is Muslim, up from the 11 percent who said so in March 2009. The proportion who correctly say he is a Christian is just 34 percent.
The largest share of people, 43 percent, said they don't know his religion. That's an increase from 34 percent in early 2009.
The survey was conducted by the Pew Research Center and its affiliated Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life. Interviews took place before the controversy erupted over whether Muslims should be permitted to construct a mosque near the World Trade Center site.

Another AGU stunner: Evidence that Antarctica has warmed significantly over past 50 years
Scientists know the Antarctic ice sheet is losing mass "100 years ahead of schedule" (see "AGU 2008: Two trillion tons of land ice lost since 2003" and "Antarctic ice sheet hits the fan").
Now, as Nature's climate blog reports, two studies presented last week at the AGU meeting document what should not be a surprise, but still is. New research suggests "the entire Antarctic continent may have warmed significantly over the past 50 years":
The study, led by Eric Steig of the University of Washington in Seattle and soon to be published in Nature, calls into question existing lines of evidence that show the region has mostly cooled over the past half-century.
… they found warming over the entire Antarctic continent for the period 1957-2006. Restricting their analysis to 1969 to 2000, a period for which other studies have found a net cooling trend, Steig's study found slight cooling in east Antarctica, but net warming over west Antarctica.
How did they perform the analysis of the harshest, most remote climate on the planet?
Steig and colleagues combined satellite thermal infra-red collected over 25 years with weather station data for the region. Although the satellite data span a shorter time period and are accurate only for blue sky days i.e. when there is no cloud cover, they provide high spatial coverage of the region, which cannot be obtained from discrete ground measurements. In contrast, the weather station data provide complete temporal resolution over the past half-century….
They independently confirmed these trends by using data from automatic weather stations, and excluding the satellite data.
Turns out they were not the only study to present at the AGU meeting to find that warming extends beyond the Antarctic's Peninsula region. David Bromwich of the Byrd Polar Research Centre at Ohio State also presented at AGU his new study, "Surface and Mid-tropospheric Climate Change in Antarctica," which found:
Near-surface air temperatures and 500-hPa temperatures over Antarctica for 1960-2007 have been reconstructed over the entire continent using manned station observations and radiosonde records, respectively, from the READER database maintained by British Antarctic Survey. The 50-year trends found in our near-surface temperature reconstruction agree with recent work by others using a variety of spatial extrapolation techniques. It is found that the statistically significant Antarctic Peninsula near-surface warming on an annual basis has spread into West Antarctica reaching as far as east as the Pine Island Bay-Thwaites Glacier region.
The warming is most marked in recent years with 2007 being the warmest year in the 1960- 2007 interval…. The warming over West Antarctica is maximized in the spring (SON) and in that season statistically significant warming stretches across all of West Antarctica and into northern Victoria Land. Weak near- surface warming is found over East Antarctica and the continent as a whole on an annual basis although continental warming in the spring is statistically significant and driven largely by the strong and widespread changes in West Antarctica.
How credible and comprehensive is this research? It is based on a three-year study funded by the National Science Foundation's Office of Polar Programs (Glaciology), in which Bromwich worked with the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research and the British Antarctic Survey. As Bromwich explains on his website, he blended model data and observations "to reconstruct a record of Antarctic near-surface temperature back to 1960":
Considering that there are only 15 long-term observational records of near-surface temperature over the entire continent of Antarctica (1-1/2 times the size of the U.S.), this record fills important gaps in our current knowledge of the spatial and temporal variability of Antarctic near-surface temperatures. Only two other such observational records – that depict temperatures over the entire continent – exist. We have collaborated with the creators of the other two datasets … to perform the most comprehensive evaluation of Antarctic near-surface temperatures yet….
The key finding is that temperatures over most of Antarctica have been warming subtly since the early 1990s, consistent with a leveling-off of trends in the Southern Hemisphere Annular Mode over the same period. This result contrasts with most recent results indicating the temperatures over Antarctica (other than on the Antarctic Peninsula) haven't changed much in recent decades.
So notwithstanding the amateur meteorologist-deniers who sometimes comment on this blog and elsewhere about how cold it is outside right now, the whole damn planet is warming and melting.

Bromwich is the person to trust on this. I taught a course on Antarctic Climate glacier interactions at the University of Maine in 1987 and his work was the best then for the continent and still is when it comes to winds and temperature.
Meanwhile at the other pole, have you seen the trend line for sea-ice refreezing at NSIDC recently? After hovering well above last years refreeze rate for several months it has now crossed below last year's refreeze line, which puts it even farther below the 1979-2000 average.
Last year we had lots of thin 1st year ice, which is why there was so much summer ice melt even though temperatures were cooler. If this current trend continues were going to have lots of thin 1st and 2nd year ice but less ice refreezing overall. And then if we get an El Niño come spring…
2008 Arctic Sea-Ice Refreeze Trend Line Dropping Below Last Year's
Blogging for the future at Climaticide Chronicles
Copied your post to my blog. Hope you don't mind.
Is anyone looking at the salinity of the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans?
Those two trillion tons of land ice lost since 2003 have mean fresh water going into the oceans, lowering the salinity and raising the freezing point. Thus you would expect the sea ice to freeze earlier in the autumn and thaw later in the spring. We don't see that.
In other words, lower salinity might actually be temporarily masking a larger catastrophe at the poles.
Does this "hold water"?
Sure they look at salinity, see for example, http://www.springerlink.com/content/c6513024kw761472/
Tons of references there.
Thanks Tenney – there it is:
" . . . on centennial to millennial time scales Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) can melt and moderate warming in the Southern Hemisphere, by up to 10°C regionally, in a 4 × CO2 scenario. This behaviour stems from the formation of a cold halocline in the Southern Ocean, which limits sea-ice cover retreat under global warming and increases surface albedo, reducing local surface warming. . . ."
from "Antarctic ice-sheet melting provides negative feedbacks on future climate warming" in GRL 2008, by Swingedouw and others.
So land ice melts, freshens the sea water, slows sea-ice retreat, reduces albedo, cools the air (a little) locally. This masks AGW. Holy cow.
So, the idea is to use models to basically fill in the data, since the data isn't there. Then, based on "modeled" data, there is supposed to be warming.
Even though this same author previously noted in another publication that he authored that there were statistically insignificant trends either way. http://polarmet.mps.ohio-state.edu/PolarMet/PMGFulldocs/bromwich_monaghan_jc_2004.pdf
Can I model my bank account so that there is more money in it, and then claim that reality needs to match my model?
Why not stick with the actual data? Either the trend is there or it isn't. I don't need to artificially "compute" what the data "should" be.
[JR: I love you deniers. First off, you have cited a paper that was submitted in 2002! There has been a want of data and improved analysis since then. Second, all analysis of long-term trends is done with the help of computers. What are you some sort of a Luddite? If you want to accuse scientists of fraud, as you do in the third paragraph, why don't you? The reason that fraud, especially fraud that persists for an extended period of time, is still rare in science compared to pretty much every other field is that the results must meet the review process, and then they are published for all to see, and challenge. If you want to slander the good name of climate scientists, you probably belong on another web site.]
So a paper submitted in 2002 is such a long way off. And apparently, we knew nothing about numerical methods or data analysis before that point.
Furthermore, it's not "slander" to cite someone's words back at them. Bromwich said, a mere six years ago, that the literature showed that there was no statistically significant trend (either up or down) in the temperature data. I note that you don't deny that he said that. How could you, I provided the link.
You need to read the abstract. The "data" is "reconstructed." In other words, he took the actual data (which he previously stated showed no statistically significant trend up or down), and then used a computer program which attempted to fill in more data. So it is very accurate to say that he created data, and based his statements on the created data. Not surprisingly I suppose, he finds a warming trend in the "model data."
But only six years prior, he acknowledged that the literature was conflicting. From the article I cited … "In recent years, scientists have discovered surprising, and occasionally conflicting, climate changes taking place in the Antarctic. Jones (1995) finds an average warming at the surface over all of Antarctica (especially the Antarctic Peninsula) by analyzing station data from 1957 to 1994. Comiso (2000) notes a cooling trend between 1979 and 1998 from infrared Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) imagery and from station records, but the trends are not statistically significant for either dataset."
So some researchers found warming, others cooling, and "the trends are not statistically significant for either dataset."
I'm merely pointing out that the research goes both ways apparently, depending on the data. And that there was no statistical significance in the up or down trend. In other words, you could make no real judgment about the trend from a statistical standpoint. That is what Bromich (who you linked to in the OP) stated.
The gathering of photons is the data itself. The scanning of your brain is an indirect method of gathering data. It is not "making up" what is going on in your head.
However, you need to be honest, filling in the "interstices" and gaps in data using some sort of estimation algorithm is, in essence, creating data.
Granted, there is actual data mixed in with the "model data" … but even I can take a set of data showing a slight cooling trend (or warming trend, it doesn't matter) and fill in the gaps in the data to reverse the trend.
Again, you don't deny that Bromwich said that the literature showed statistically insignificant cooling and warming trends, depending on the dataset used.
[JR: Final paragraph deleted since I'm tired of links to denier sites.
Yes, I do "deny" what you wrote, as my previous comment explained. He has more datasets now PLUS more recent data now PLUS a better analytical technique.
Your first paragraph above suggests to me you have no idea what you are talking about. Either data is "reconstructed" or it isn't. Anytime you aren't physically measuring something directly, you are reconstructing data. It ain't a big deal here.]
So, you delete that portion of the post clearly showing that NOAA took weather station data which showed a downward trend in temp, and after they "homogenized" the data, it now showed an upward trend.
I wonder … if the oil or coal companies took data, and "adjusted" it to show something other than what the raw data said … you'd be all over that.
It is one thing to make a correction for a known calibration or measurement problem.
But filling in "interstices" means filing in the gaps in the data. In that case, you are clearly estimating what you think the data should be in that gap. That is data *creation.*
Data "reconstruction" (as used in climate modeling), is likewise data creation. Be honest. Nobody knows what the actual temperature was, but you might come up with an estimate based on certain proxies. But as is being demonstrated on the "denier" sites that you profess to abhor, these "reconstructions" have problems as well.
And you question whether I know what I'm talking about … well, I do have a degree in mechanical engineering and a law degree … so I think I have a better grasp of math and statistics than the average person might.
[JR: I deleted a post to a denier website. I have also blogged why the NASA and Hadley temp records likely underestimate actually warming. I'm glad people are out there pointing out insignificant points for the real scientists to factor in or not depending on whether they are real or bogus.
I just think it is irrelevant stuff. Pretty much every place on the planet that could be melting is.]

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) - Archaeologists say they've made a rare find
on Georgia's Ossabaw Island - a pit used by American Indians to
cremate their dead more than 1,000 years ago.
An excavation uncovered what initially appeared to be a grave,
but with bits of burned logs inside.
Only a few small bones were found, leading archaeologists to believe a body was burned and most of the remaining skeleton was buried elsewhere.
Dave Crass, Georgia's state archaeologist, said it's unusual to find evidence of Indian cremations in the Southeast.
Most prehistoric Indians buried their dead in shallow graves.
The cremation pit was discovered at the edge of a bluff that was

Who makes the best chowder? There's only one way for your taste buds to decide! Try making these two delicious recipes from Gail Simmons and Hubert Keller.
- 2 cups low-salt clam juice or vegetable broth
- 20 clams in the shell, washed
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter or extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 pounds yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, sliced
- 1 bouquet garni: 1 bay leaf, 1 spring thyme, 1 sprig parsley
- Sea salt and freshly ground white pepper
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 medium tomato, peeled, seeded, diced
- 1 tablespoon black truffle oil
- 4 small chervil sprigs or chopped chives (optional)
Baking Directions:
In a sauce pot, bring the clam juice to a boil. Add the fresh clams. Cover up and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the clams open up. Remove the clams, set them aside and cover them up with plastic film wrap.Melt the butter in a large, heavy sauté pan over low heat. Add the onions and garlic, stir well, cover, and cook about 10 minutes to allow the onions to soften. Uncover, and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are very soft but not browned, about 20 minutes.Pour the clam juice slowly into the pan, add the bouquet garni, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, uncovered, 20 minutes. The liquid will begin to reduce and the chowder thickens. Add the cream and continue to cook very slowly to meld the flavors, another 10 minutes. Let cool slightly.Transfer the chowder to a blender, add the truffle oil, and blend until very smooth. Pour the chowder through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean saucepan and reheat gently over low heat. The chowder should be fairly thick but still easily pourable. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Display 5 clams in the half shell per warm soup plate. Divide and sprinkle the diced tomatoes among the plates. Ladle the chowder over the clams. Add a small chervil sprig or chives, and serve immediately.Option: Serve with small toasted baguette croutons on the side.
The chowder comes by its velvety thickness simply by cooking. For the best result, take your time and make sure your onions do not brown.
- Juicy grilled tomatoes (recipe below)
- 8 pounds cherrystone clams
- Two 8-ounce bottles clam juice
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/3-inch dice
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 thyme sprigs
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Baking Directions:
Scrape the tomatoes and their juices from the packs into a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. In a large pot, combine the clams and clam juice and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over moderately low heat until the clams open, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the clams to a large bowl. Remove the clams from their shells, coarsely chop the meat and reserve. Strain and reserve the clam broth. Rinse out the pot. In the same pot, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and cook over moderate heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the reserved clam broth, potatoes, chicken broth, thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook over moderately low heat until the potatoes are tender, about 12 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot, cover and simmer for 3 minutes. Discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Stir in the chopped clams and season the chowder with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls, sprinkle with the parsley and serve.Active: 30 minutesTotal time: 1 hour
- 4 tomatoes (1 pound), quartered
- 1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes (10 ounces)
- 1 pint small mixed heirloom tomatoes, halved if large
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Baking Directions:
Light a grill. Arrange four 12-by-24-inch sheets of heavy-duty foil on a work surface. Mound the tomatoes in the center of each sheet, drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Fold up the foil to create tight packets. Set the packets on the grill and cover. Grill over moderately high heat for about 18 minutes, until the tomatoes begin to soften and burst. Using scissors, carefully cut open the foil packets and serve.Active: 10 minutes Total time: 25 minutes

ODT Online
ODT /directory
Cr Lee Vandervis raised the prospect in an opinion piece
first published in the Otago Daily Times last week,
and reprinted in Christchurch newspaper The Press on
His argument prompted a storm of criticism, with responses by
Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker and Ashburton Mayor Angus
McKay, hundreds of online messages - many angrily
anti-Dunedin - and blogs criticising Cr Vandervis' view.
Cr Vandervis was sticking to his guns yesterday, telling the
ODT the public outcry showed Christchurch residents
were living "in denial" about the seismic reality facing
their city.
Mr Parker's response, arguing the earthquakes instead
represented a new beginning for the city, also showed he was
living "in dreamland", Cr Vandervis said.
The southern stoush continued to escalate yesterday when Mr
Brownlee waded in, saying Cr Vandervis' "somewhat
ill-informed" argument was - like the earthquakes -
distressing for the people of Christchurch.
"I just think it's terribly tragic that a Dunedin city
councillor can only see a future of Dunedin by being a pariah
on someone else's misfortune.
"It's distressing enough for people in Christchurch to have
to go through the difficulties that the earthquake events
continue to present, without actually scaring them completely
by suggesting that they're going to have to relocate to
He said expert geotechnical analysis clearly showed
Christchurch could be rebuilt, and the city's economy and
people were standing up well in the face of adversity.
"The activity there is very, very strong and the will to
rebuild is also very strong." Cr Vandervis' argument won some
support from Dunedin Mayor Dave Cull yesterday.
Cr Vandervis' views were those of only one councillor - not
the city - but had "some credibility" from a geological
perspective, given continued seismic activity in the area, Mr
Cull said.
It would be wise for the Government to consider spreading the
risk, rather than concentrating key facilities and
infrastructure in Christchurch, he believed. "But I don't
think it should be just Dunedin [that benefited]," Mr Cull
Speaking earlier, Cr Vandervis said he was being deliberately
provocative to try and prompt national debate about the
merits of rebuilding Christchurch.
He believed money destined to rebuild Government offices and
key Christchurch infrastructure - such as the Lyttelton Port
- should instead be spent in Dunedin.
The continued relocation of the New Zealand Transport
Agency's Christchurch office - shifted five times in the last
year - was an example of the "madness" of rebuilding in
Christchurch, Cr Vandervis said.
He apologised if his comments had upset Christchurch
residents, but said he had no regrets about raising the issue
and denied his comments risked damaging Dunedin's brand.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
There are two fault-lines located to Dunedin, one on the
Taieri, apparently, and the 'Akatore Fault' which runs off
our coastline and parallel to it. There are other faults
which may be benign, or may, in the fullness of time, prove
to be 'not'.
One value to Dunedin of the Christchurch quake, is the prior
warning it gives to those with the intelligence to take
notice, that many of Dunedin's older stone/brick buildings,
having been based upon a European concept of ''permanent
materials'' developed in areas not prone to seismic activity,
have the potential to create just as much danger, havoc and
disruption as was the case in Christchurch.
We, however, have the luxury of nature having fired a shot
across our bows, and we would be wise, I feel, if that
warning didn't go unheeded.
The insurance companies will settle the question of
rebuilding Christchurch. They just won't cover high risk
property. So Cr Vandervis is right about it being a waste of
money to try to rebuild Christchurch. (And he's
very brave to say so publicly.)
Where people go instead is just a matter of personal choice.
Where government-funded service centres go should instead be
a matter of prudent policy. It seems fair enough for a
Dunedin City Councillor to express the opinion that some of
these South Island services would be better located in
Our central and local government politicians seem to be
trying to imitate Winston Churchill during World War 2 -
tenacious, resilient and unwilling to surrender to anything.
Nice rhetoric, but Mother Nature will win.
I rarely agree with comments by Cr Vandervis, but his
recently published opinion on relocating some of Christchurch
to Dunedin is worthy of merit. The reply by Gerry Brownlee is
very disappointing.
Maybe our Mayor and council should do some more work on this
I myself lived 3 years in Christchurch (1986-88) and indeed I
feel incredible sadness to see it gone to such ruin. It
would now be too haunting for me to walk around the main
city. A flight over the CBD from there to Dunedin in
September (having transferred from another flight in)
after taking off to the north was a shock enough for
me. The photo I took looked monochromatic. It was
really bleak, and I felt sick at heart for the rest of the
It is like a terminally ill, much loved pet indeed, that
no one wants to let go off, but it comes to a point sadly,
when one is merely delaying the inevitable. We would
all hope the quakes stop, but they don't, and that, sadly, is
the reality.[Abridged]
It's understandable, emotions getting in the way of
practicalities, for those persistent to ride it out, and it
does seem at least that some parts of the city are still OK,
but for the rest, well, it comes to asking about the old
adage: Did the wise man build his house upon the sand or soft
earth, where it might sink in a quake?
It was meant to be more of a welcome as, understandably, the
endless quakes are wearing away at the people. Something
seems to be brewing, no good the geologists saying it will
cease,. We have heard that a few times already and still the
shakes come, doing further damage.
Lee was just telling it how it is.
Some posters could go and get real themselves by
watching the briefing last week held by Geonet.
It will help put things in perspective.
This whole debate is just petty and unnecessary.
I suggest some posters and Cr Vandervis should call
Recover Canterbury for the facts instead of making
sweeping generalisations and masquerading idle
speculation as statements of fact.
Recover Canterbury will tell you that the main impact
from the earthquakes in Christchurch has been to
local small businesses with small customer
catchments. The small businesses have effectively been
disconnected from their customer bases when they were
forced to move out of unsafe buildings. Those business
with large pan-city catchments or distribution
depots are staying and are doing OK.
Sure, some restaurants or family owned businesses may shift,
but its very doubtful that some of the bigger players like
PDL will be.[Abridged]
The leaders must have frank discussion with their
citizens. They must leave their egos out of this and
concentrate how to better their citizens lives.
Does it make sense to pour millions of dollars into
infrastructure and old churches when its possible that
another series of earthquakes will damage more of that city?
Again the arrogance of the leadership makes me feel Mickey
Mouse is leading the pack or the mindlessness of the old boy
Sometimes difficult decisions have to be made. A responsible
government would put the needs of the economy and the people
over making unpopular decisions. Cr Vanderviss is showing the
sort of leadership that this country needs. Maybe it's time
to start to conceiving the inconceivable. Maybe it's time to
concede defeat to mother nature and accept that this battle
of wills will only have one winner.
In an analogy-filled response to this issue I can only
summarise by juxtaposing Christchurch and the poor old family
dog that really should be allowed to pass away, but it's a
hard decision to make, to allow that beloved one to pass on.
Maybe it will be better for everybody if the life-support
were to be turned off.
How many more aftershocks, building collapses or, god forbid,
fatalities before Parker and Brownlee make that call to man
the lifeboats? [Abridged]

Gerry Brownlee's rather catty and unnecessarily 'ad-hominem'
outburst towards Christchurch's southern neighbour is
prompted by one thing, and one thing only.
Christchurch people relocating here, sending their offspring
to our schools medium-term, or just paying us a couple of
weeks' visit as respite from the quakes, might well realise
that the tripe that they have been fed by our rather
condescending and sniffy 'pseudo-English' neighbours since
time immemorial regarding Dunedin as a place-to-live, has
been ill-founded and untrue.
He wouldn't want the news relayed back to 'The Garden City'
or what remains of it, that Dunedin was actually an agreeable
place in which to live and one which has a great deal
going for it, because, God forbid, that might precipitate a
mass exodus from the city which he represents. There are
times when 'bigger' is not necessarily 'better'.
Christchurch people are already being forced to relocate -
forced by circumstance, nature, whatever you want to call
Loss of their homes and the unaffordability or unavailability
of equivalent housing is one reason. Delays in getting
compensation, repairs and so on have seen people move
"temporarily", as have disruptions to children's
schooling. As time goes on and they become comfortable
in the new town is it not likely that they will decide not to
move back?
Add to this the effect on many people of the months - years -
of stress. People have different capacities for dealing
with stress, and I have nothing but amazed respect for all
those Christchurch people who have picked themselves up,
cleaned things up and managed to keep smiling. But it
wears a person down, the only difference being how
quickly. Seeing one's children nervous, knowing one
cannot promise "it's over, we're safe now" and make it better
with a cuddle must be too much to bear in the end. Many
have already left.
Cr Vandervis did not suggest the rest of the population be
forced into their cars and on to buses and sent to Dunedin
against their wishes; his main argument was that the
facilities that are at risk from further quakes damaging
either them or the supportive infrastructure - water,
electricity, roading, drains - should be located somewhere
less vulnerable. Also, when an employer moves here, and
taking all the other factors into consideration, his workers
may decide of their own free will to relocate.
Vandervis is (unfortunately) on the money. Christchurch
is not a viable prospect for investors, local and overseas.
Few sensible real estate purchasers would buy there, with the
city's earthquake record now. Few sensible investors will
plonk their money down on business ventures centered in
Christchurch. Insurance can be impossible.
Things have changed for Christchurch, and to pretend that we
can somehow make it as if it never happened, and keep
Christchurch as the centre of South Island business and
culture is unwise.
That said, in the interests of robustness of infrastructure,
I don't believe it would be wise to centre everything around
Dunedin. No-one knew about the fault below Christchurch
before this all happened - who knows if Dunedin has a similar
unknown fault or issue? Dunedin is susceptible to sea level
rise, for example, which may affect us in coming decades:
another reason why thinking and planning must be long-term.
Truly robust systems are decentralised (with backups if
possible), and I believe that the way forward is to share
Christchurch's load throughout the towns and cities of the
South Island. As an aside, we also need to start
thinking how Dunedin can assist Cantabrians who wish to
relocate here - financially and otherwise.
Gerry Brownlee wades nto the debate over Cr Lee Vandervis'
remarks to say, "It's distressing enough for people in
Christchurch to have to go through the difficulties that the
earthquake events continue to present, without actually
scaring them completely by suggesting that they're going
to have to relocate to Dunedin."(Emphasis mine.)
Apart from the chilly reception National government officials
would likely receive at the Hillside Workshops and past DCC
spending habits, I am hard-pressed to think of any reason why
Mister Brownlee thinks Dunedin "scary".
Brownlee and Parker and all that lot need to get real.
Why would you rebuild on risky land when you know the
"new"faultlines are still in the same place that caused the
earthquakes in the first place. The fact is that Christchurch
has had 10,000 earthquakes since the original one and the
seismologists are saying that this may continue for years.
How arrogant of these leaders to think they can outthwart
nature. It is obvious that a real true and safe plan
needs to be found. All those Christchurch peeps can get
bitter and twisted but the truth is Christchurch should not
be rebuilt in the same place. It is not safe.
Silly to blame a DCC councillor when he is only speaking the
truth. As to whether it benefits Dunedin is another
matter. But first and foremost the people of
Christchurch deserve the truth and the truth is itis not safe
to rebuild Christchurch in the same places

HAMPTONBURGH — K104 is once again going to the dogs with its sixth annual Pooch-A-Palooza from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. today at Thomas Bull Memorial Park on Route 416.
This event is an opportunity for pets and people to mingle with others from all over the Hudson Valley.
Pooch-A-Palooza will feature local craft vendors and unique gifts for both pets and humans; contests and giveaways, a two-acre "Pet Playground" area where dogs can play off leash in a safe and fenced environment, and a pet adoption area with local shelters and rescue organizations.
There will also be on-site demonstrations from animal trainers, agility experts and other special guests, as well as the Pooch-A-Palooza Pet Fashion Show hosted by K104 DJs.
The Orange County Sheriff's Department will give a K-9 police dog demonstration, and Middlehope Pet and Play Resort will provide a "flyball" demonstration. Flyball is a canine relay race where four dogs jump hurdles, hit a spring-loaded box that shoots a tennis ball, and race back.
Admission for this event is free. The first 500 families that attend will receive a "doggie bag" filled with coupons, samples and other free items.
The event is sponsored by TEG Federal Credit Union, Newburgh Veterinary Hospital and Middlehope Pet and Play Resort.

House backs ban on youth tanningMarch 21,2012
MONTPELIER — The Vermont House has given preliminary approval to a bill that would outlaw use of commercial tanning beds by people younger than 18.
The action came Tuesday on a voice vote after Rep. Patti Komline told her colleagues about the increased risk of skin cancers from the use of tanning beds.
Komline read letters from skin cancer sufferers who said they regretted their past use of tanning beds.
Owners of establishments with tanning beds caught allowing people younger than 18 to use them would face a civil fine of $100 on a first offense and $500 on second and later offenses.
The bill is expected to come up for final action today before moving to the Senate.MORE IN This Just In

President Barack Obama's June 22 speech announcing his plans for eventual withdrawal from Afghanistan has prompted debate about troop numbers and timetables. But beyond those specific judgments, there was in the speech an implicit challenge to the reigning logic of America's post–Cold War foreign policy. In declaring, "America, it is time to focus on nation building here at home," Obama has reintroduced a line of reasoning that has for decades been misrepresented as isolationism and protectionism.
Since the end of the Cold War a bipartisan consensus has guided American foreign policy. Regardless of the president in power or the majority party in Congress, a series of broad assumptions drawn from a narrow view of American history has informed all major decisions. The defining incident in this narrative is the supposed isolationism of the American public in the 1920s and '30s. In this telling, American isolationism played a decisive role in causing the Great Depression and the rise of Hitler, and it was only Roosevelt's internationalist leanings that saved us from the error of our ways. There is more than a little truth to this characterization of our past. What should concern us, however, is the simplistic way this period of history is used to marginalize dissent.
In every major debate of the post–Cold War era, the overwhelming majority of our foreign policy elite, be they in the media,...

EXCL. PREVIEW: "Hal Jordan & the Green Lantern Corps" #1 Enforces 'Sinestro's Law'
Comic Books
Every year at Comic-Con, the creators of Vertigo's Fables hands out an original one-page comic to the attendees of their Fables Forum panel. You can check it out below, thanks to the always delightful Pamela Mullin, who posted it on the Vertigo Graphic Content blog.
"In the past two years we've handed out one-page Fables comics at the San Diego show that were basically throwaway gag pages. For the first time we decided to go the other way and do a serious, very dramatic Fables story, one that has far-reaching consequences for the series to follow. This one-page comic hints at what the second hundred issues of Fables will all be about," Willingham said.
always a pleasure…i hope this one gets reprinted in an upcoming trade due to its portentous tone..
That is awesome.

Last year: David Prouty, 20-12.
Series: Leicester leads, 25-17.
Leicester raised the Division 5 Super Bowl trophy last year, but went home unhappy on Thanksgiving thanks to a loss to the Panthers. It's just one of the many reasons the Battle of Breezy Bend is one of the best rivalries in the area. David Prouty has won three Thanksgiving games in a row, but again it will have its hands full. Leicester is loaded at the skill positions. Tom Rodrick (410 rushing yards, 84 tackles) is one of the top two-way players around, Nick Kenneway (105 carries, 757 yards) has established himself on the ground, and QB Drew Mazzeo (588 passing yards, 651 rushing) can hurt teams with his arm and legs. Dave Dupont, Keem Minton, Kenneway and Shane Padeni lead a defense that has given up just 7-1/2 points per game. Meanwhile, the Panthers have grown up this year, thanks to the rushing of Marc Lamoureux (128 carries, 890 yards), who is second on the school's all-time rushing list (2,357 yards) and third in career TDs (28). The addition of Zach Howard (102 carries, 702 yards) makes the backs dangerous, while QB/DB Ryan Fahey is solid, and Anthony Baldino, Tristan Day and Tyler Golden hold up the defense.

First off, LOVE the plugin! I did run into 1 problem, could be just me though.
If have a site X on domain 1, I duplicated and installed that site on domain 2.
Everything seemed to work, but when I go back to domain 1, the site now automatically directs to domain 2... which is quite odd because I didn't change any files on domain 1, only created the package and downloaded it.
The 2 domains are on the same hosting account tho (hostgator).
Any thoughts?

With the growth in size and complexity of interconnected power systems the simulation of power system equations in the time domain for stability assessment is becoming more time-consuming or too expensive. There is always considerable incentive to find better computation schemes. The authors develop an efficient and fast computation scheme for transient stability analysis on a hypercube multiprocessor. In order to realize communications among processing elements (PEs) efficiently, a pseudo-binary tree is embedded into the hypercube. The pseudo-binary tree is a binary tree structure where a node in the hypercube may correspond to more than one node in the corresponding binary tree. The implementation results on an iPSC/2 are discussed in detail to suggest an efficient way to parallelize the computation for power system transient stability analysis

Train Tracks To Eugene with Evan

Instrument Ground School Options
I'm about to start school again. This time, it's to continue improving my skills as a pilot and gain the ability to fly in the clouds. Living in the Northwest, this is still optional, but for what I eventually want to do, it's a requirement; as the local weather tends to almost always be overcast. […]

|Motivated to Learn with Technology?
YOU should have been learning curricula with technology...in some fashion your whole life.
Stop and think about your experiences learning with technology. Use these questions to help you think?
- How many of your teachers used technology?
- What types of technology were used most often?
- Where did you learn to use technology? home? a computer lab? in your regular classroom?
- Do you like learning with technology?
- What do YOU think YOU need to learn in order to be an effective teacher that uses technology?
Now, that you have taken a personal inventory of your learning experiencing with technology, I would like to present you with some startling research findings about technology integration.
- Education reformers convinced enough school administrators that without computers in the classroom, students would not be prepared for well-paying jobs (Cuban, 1993; 2001).
- Schools often made purchases without knowing how they would use the technology (Oppenheimer, 2004).
- Universities and colleges, such as this one, responded to this large-scale deployment of technology in the K-12 world by requiring that you take a generalized technology-in-education course (like EDU 375).
When the degree planners at schools of education started thinking about offering a course that "provided an awareness of the current range of instructional and adaptive technologies" ("EDU 375," n.d.) they were trying to solve the problem of how to prepare pre-service teachers, like YOU, for a teaching career that included the integration of technology. However, "the information needed to understand the problem, depends upon one's idea for solving it" (Rittel & Webber, 1973, p. 161). They tried to solve the problem by responding to the pressures of the education reformers of the 1990s and 2000s who said, we need to place computers in the hands of students in the classroom because if students have an understanding of how to use technology they will be prepared to compete in today's job market (Cuban, 1993). Their response transmitted a message to the college faculty, current and future students and even the parents of the students who reviewed the educational program requirements. That message: We think our pre-service teachers need to learn how to integrate technology into their teaching. But what they did not know was that they were trying to solve a "wicked problem" (1973, p. 160) and not a "tame" problem.
Next up...the "Wicked Problem" of Preparing You to Teach with Technology. Find out what a "wicked problem" is and how they relate to teaching with and without technology. You can do this by following the trail.
