"The problem here is that there will always be some uncertainty about how quickly Saddam can acquire nuclear weapons. But we don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud."
Related quotes
"For 8 years, the finger on the button that could end the world belonged to a president who couldn't pronounce the word "nuclear.""
"I have come to believe that a nuclear Iran is not a threat but a benefit to humankind as it may well provide a much needed deterrent to the U.S. and Israel's unrestrained use of military action and terrorism and their continuing quest for dominance and hegemony in the Middle East."
"real danger [was] not so much that Saddam would pass along the secrets of weapons of mass destruction, but scientists and engineers in their desperate desire to better themselves, to keep their families alive, might well have sold these secrets."
"We have defeated Saddam Hussein and Iraq. The good news is Iraq is ours, and the bad news is Iraq is ours."
"Last night the United States dropped four 2,000 pound bombs on Saddam Hussein. I don't know anything about explosives, but, my God, do those things even need to explode?"
"Scores of Iraqi exiles met in London to discuss ways to overthrow Saddam Hussein in a grand gathering dubbed the 'Iraqi Military Alliance Meeting.' Of course, these people are no longer Iraqi, they have no military, and there is no alliance. But they did have a meeting."

Hello folks.
I'm having a bit of a problem sharing blog posts on Facebook -- either manually or via a plugin.
Previously, trying to link to a post from Facebook would show the post title and excerpt, the site name and url. Now it instead just shows the site name and an url. (Actually it used to show a redirecting domain name and now shows as the url that of a subdirectory on my main domain.) Or it shows the correct details but for a much older post.
I've tried manually adding new open graph tags but that didn't seem to work.
Would anyone possibly have any suggestions of how to correct this? Is it even a problem at the WordPress end of things?!
Many thanks,

The establishment of an in-house marketing agency at the
council, replacing Tourism Dunedin, would offer ''more bang
for buck'', she said.
The agency would use existing council staff, such as those in
human resources and finance, and run alongside the council's
economic development unit.
That meant more of the money allocated to marketing the city
and surrounding areas could be spent on ''actual marketing''
rather than on duplicating administrative efforts, Dr Bidrose
''We are hoping that by bringing it in-house there will be
some efficiencies and it will free up some money to use for
actual marketing.''
At present, the council's economic development unit did some
there was money allocated to Dunedin branding, Tourism
Dunedin got funding for visitor industry marketing, and other
agencies in the city marketed education opportunities.
The council-controlled i-Site was also involved in marketing
Dunedin and the wider area.
Dr Bidrose said the council wanted to bring those factions
together, for a more unified and seamless promotion of the
district and what it had to offer.
''The aim is they should all be telling the same message and
getting more bang for buck.''
About $1.2 million from rates was allocated to tourism
marketing, and a further $100,000 for Dunedin branding each
year, she said.
Dr Bidrose said the wider community including Mosgiel,
Middlemarch and the Taieri would benefit from the new
marketing method.
''There will be some Otago-wide benefits to better
She said council staff would work closely with local tourism
operators and representatives to ensure the level of visitor
industry marketing would not diminish in the absence of
Tourism Dunedin.
Consultation between the council and all involved in
marketing would take place before a final agency model was
implemented by the start of July.
Some tourism operators have expressed concern about the
scrapping of Tourism Dunedin and possible conflicts of
interest in the council's marketing of its own assets.
Dr Bidrose said the performance of the agency would be
reviewed after 18 months, with a view to assessing whether,
in the longer term, it should become a council-owned company.

I upgraded to wp 2.8 before starting a new website build.
I am looking for a widget that can place a flash - FLV or SWF file, in this case my logo, on the sidebar. I have tried all the options I could find and they failed.
pb-embedflash would not even work - the widget would not add to the sidebar. I would think they would be many more plug-ins out there for such a popular effect.

"When there have been real hot, dry conditions, you won't see the tall hardened mounds, you won't see ant activity on the surface to any degree, but yet, they are out there, and then the rains come and fire ant mounds pop up everywhere. Some people think, well they just arrived, well, no, they were always there, they're just deeper in the ground."
Extension entomologist Bart Drees says fire ants are a problem for city folks as well as agricultural producers.
"In Texas alone, this is a 1.2 billion dollar problem a year. About 90 million dollars has been estimated for losses or impacts to agriculture, and recent surveys have actually shown that that's low."
The biggest economic losses aren't associated with people, livestock, or wildlife.
"If you're one of those 1% or so that is hypersensitive to fire ants, it's deadly, or could be deadly, but in reality the economic losses are really much more related to what they do to equipment, electric installations."
A large landowner can find the cost of blanket treatments staggering.
"When you're standing out in the middle of a pasture, it's hard to ask yourself, well, what's the economic impact of fire ants. The probability of a calf getting injured, or dying from massive fire ants is there, but it doesn't justify the cost. You're looking at a cost of about $10 per acre just for the product, probably by the time you finish applying, $17 an acre is a good guess."
Experts advise agricultural producers to pick their battles.
"We asked producers to look at their production systems, find out exactly where their problem areas are, and apply an appropriate response to those areas."
We'll look more at when and where to combat fire ants next week. I'm Joe Brown looking at Brazos Valley agriculture, From the Ground Up.

Nice recipe. I added a bit of garlic and cumin to it. Also, I skipped the butter to save on fat and calories and I microwaved the onions for 7 minutes or until soft and then transferred to the pan for browning with a bit of Pam spray to prevent sticking.
pretty good stuff. =]
I took this soup to our teachers annual soup dinner, it was a hit. Thanks

Josh (my fiance) & I bought a still-cold 12-pack of Corona Light at the West Ave. Stewarts (don't start with me – I have better taste in beer, but I'm trying to cut calories) and sat out on the back deck talking politics and listening to the neighbors. It seemed like just about everyone else in Geyser Crest was out on their decks, too. The NY Post has been running stories lately marking the 30th anniversary of the massive power outages and looting in New York City in 1977. Can you imagine if a power outage provoked looting and chaos here? People were talking and laughing and listening to the All-Star game. The night wasn't too bad for us, we have a gas stove and running water. When I was driving out of the development this morning, guys from National Grid were messing with a utility pole on Hutchins. I asked how long it would be (at 8:50) before the lights and AC were back on in the GC and I was told 10 minutes. I told them they do a good job, because no matter what our issues are with the power company, those linemen work hard.

Libya's NTC Can Interrogate Qaddafi's Son Saadi, Niger Says
Niger will allow Libya's transitional government to interrogate Muammar Qaddafi's son Saadi, who fled to the neighboring country after his father lost control of Tripoli and is wanted on suspicion of "armed intimidation."
Niger recognizes the National Transitional Council as the only legitimate authority in Libya and its members can "come freely" to Niger, Justice Minister Marou Amadou was quoted as saying today by Voix du Sahel, a state radio station based in the Nigerien capital, Niamey.
At least 32 Libyans, including three generals, have sought refuge in Niger since NTC forces stormed the Libyan capital at the end of August. Saadi Qaddafi was welcomed in Niger for "humanitarian reasons," Amadou said.
Interpol issued an international arrest warrant for the younger Qaddafi on Sept. 29 at the request of the NTC for allegedly "misappropriating properties through force and armed intimidation" when he headed the Libyan Football Federation. The police group, based in Lyon, France, said he should be located, arrested and handed over to Libyan authorities.
The NTC is seeking to round up former officials who served in Muammar Qaddafi's government to try them in Libya. Interpol issued so-called red notices for Qaddafi, another son, Saif al-Islam, and his former military intelligence director, Abdullah al-Senussi, at the request of the International Criminal Court on Sept. 9 for alleged crimes against humanity.
Travel Ban
The council's drive to unite the factions that rebelled against Qaddafi's 42-year rule and end the seven-month conflict is being hampered by political infighting and the doggedness of Qaddafi's supporters, who have maintained their hold on the last two strongholds of Bani Walid and Sirte for a month.
Fighting reduced oil output and disrupted power supplies in the country with Africa's largest crude reserves. Libya is producing 300,000 barrels a day of oil, Ali Tarhouni, who oversees the finance and oil ministries, said last week.
Thousands of residents of Sirte, Qaddafi's hometown, fled during a lull in fighting as medical workers said the humanitarian situation is worsening, Al Jazeera reported today.
Interpol's decision to issue the red notice "is a clear political decision" to recognize the NTC's authority "without appropriate regard to the current absence of a functioning, effective and fair system of justice in Libya," Nick Kaufman, who said he is acting as Saadi's lawyer, wrote in an e-mailed statement today.
Saadi Qaddafi "strenuously denies" the allegations and "continues to call on all sides to seek a negotiated and peaceful resolution to the present conflict," according to the statement.
The 38-year-old is also subject to a United Nations travel ban and asset freeze imposed in March because he was a commander of military units allegedly involved in the repression of demonstrations during Libya's uprising.

Featured: Carcinoid Syndrome and Carcinoid Tumor Main Article
A carcinoid tumor is a tumor that develops from enterochromaffin cells. The important characteristic of carcinoid tumors that sets them apart from other gastrointestinal tract tumors, is their potential to cause the carcinoid syndrome. Local symptoms may include abdominal pain, intestinal bleeding, and intestinal obstruction. However, often symptoms of the carcinoid syndrome can be more devastating than the local symptoms. There are many options for the treatment of carcinoid tumors and carcinoid syndrome.

Kelantan leave it late to nick a win from a tricky away match at KuchingAfter a less than stellar start to the new season, pressure was on Robert Alberts' Sarawak to perform in their first home league match of the new season, against Kelantan. They had earlier lost meekly in their league opener against ATM, and made to labour against Pulau Pinang for their FA Cup tie win.
They started out brightly against the Red Warriors with Ashri Chuchu leading most of their attacks from the left. However, despite making plenty of forays into the visitors' final third, the midfield was not able to connect with the forward.
Kelantan were also also threatening at times through the combination of their foreign strikers; Muhammad Ghaddar and Forkey Doe, but the two could not make their chances count.
Despite the high tempo of the first half, with players on both teams getting booked for late tackles, the first half finished goalless, with Sarawak dominating play.
Eight minutes into the second half, Doe looked to have eluded the Sarawak defence, before slotting the ball in past Sarawak goalkeeper Sani Anuar Kamsani, but the flag was already up.
The second half was a more tenous affair for both teams, with fewer chances created as compared to the first half.
In the 64th minute Lot Abu Hassan sent in a cross from into the right that was met well by Sarawak's new Iranian striker Alireza Abbasfard, but his header rose over the bar and Kelantan were saved.
But just as the match looked to be ending a scoreless draw, Kelantan skipper Badhri Razi freed Ghaddar down the left. Although he was marked by a defender, he was still able to squeeze a low cross into the box, which was not expected by Sani. Forkey Doe was left with the easiest of tap ins from right in front of the goalmouth, for the first and only goal of the match, and the final whistle was blown by the referee a minute later.

Former UNCA player makes Tourists history
Published: Monday, April 6, 2009 at 1:45 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 6, 2009 at 1:45 p.m.
ASHEVILLE -- The Asheville Tourists and the UNC Asheville baseball team have a long history together, and now, for the first time ever, their paths have officially crossed.
Former UNCA standout Alan DeRatt was proudly wearing his Asheville Tourist uniform Monday at the Tourists' annual Media Day at McCormick Field. It marked the first time in Tourist history that the club had a player from the nearby college.
"This is just awesome. I didn't think I would ever be here at McCormick Field pitching in front of a hometown crowd," DeRatt said.
When he was watching the draft in the summer of 2008, he was thrilled when the Colorado Rockies selected him in the 17th round. He knew had a good shot at becoming an Asheville Tourist.
"I couldn't believe it was going to be that much of a coincidence," he said. "I had come to a lot of Tourist games and got to know a lot of the former Tourists players and got tickets from them."
UNCA also plays a lot of games at McCormick Field, so it's a stadium DeRatt already knows pretty well.
Following his four-year career with the Bulldogs, he was sent to Casper last season after the draft. He pitched 29.2 innings last year with 39 strikeouts and an ERA of 3.94.
"I'll be pitching out of the bullpen this year, so I'm looking forward to that," DeRatt said. "I can't wait for our first home game. It's going to be fun."
Asheville manager Joe Mikulik, entering his 10th season with the Tourists, said he was happy to see that the Tourists had a UNCA player.
"That's good that it's finally happened. I'm glad to see that (DeRatt) made the club. We watched him in spring training, and he's a strike thrower," Mikulik said. "It's great to have a player from UNCA, because they have a great program over there."
Another player with Western North Carolina ties also made this year's roster -- former Tar Heel standout Tyler Trice, who is from Shelby.
He was also a part of last year's draft class, getting selected in the 21st round by the Rockies.
"It feels great to be playing so close to home, because my family can come up to see me play," Trice, a righthander who pitched 24.1 innings with 18 strikeouts last year at Tri-City, said.
During his career in Chapel Hill, Trice went to three College World Series, and his roommate for a couple of those years was former North Henderson standout Seth Williams.
"We are great friends, and we keep in touch. He's in the New York Mets organization, playing high-A ball this season," Trice said.
Headlining the Tourists' rotation is their first-round draft pick, lefthander Christian Friedrich, who pitched 12 innings for Asheville last year with 15 strikeouts.
"I'm really looking forward to getting a fresh start. I feel a lot more confident coming in this year than I did last year," Friedrich said.
The Tourists will face Blue Ridge Community College in an exhibition at 7 p.m. Tuesday and officially get their season under way Thursday for a four-game series at Kannapolis. They return to McCormick for their home debut at 7 p.m. Monday to begin an eight-game homestand. They have a four-game series with Greensboro and begin a three-game series with Hickory on April 17.

I made this as part of lunch this afternoon. My Mom and brother found it heavily spiced up and personally, I would most politely suggest for using at the most 1 1/2 tbsps. of oil and NO more because by using 3 tbsps. it turned out to be really oily(the oil was floating in the gravy. Additionally, I'd like to use some water too while cooking this chicken, in order to make it less spicy. For those who love spicy chicken, this one's 'THE BEST INDIAN SPICY CHICKEN, IMHO'!
'Ware! HOT! But absolutely delicious. I'll be making this again... it's beautifully simple and oh, so good. I did replace half the red chili with curry powder, and next time I would probably cut it in half again. I'm already looking forward to it...
The recipe name doesn't tell anything about it and it seems a little strange. Please change it if you want anyone to actually eat it!

I am fetching some json and returning it out, creating a new div for each object. I am now trying to add one final div (not from json) that just says something along the lines of 'This could be yours!'.
I have tried to insert
$('section#fans').append('
new div
');
or several variations of that (after, appendChild etc) and cannot get it to perform as i wish. Currently it adds one new div but before the foreach kicks in and it doesn't follow the fadeIn delay pattern that for the foreach does.
How can i get it to add the div with the same effect after the foreach. as one final div? As if it belonged to the json, altough it wont be the same template as the previous.
function get_fans(){
$.ajax('http://localhost/facebook_app/selectFans/', {
type : 'get',
dataType: 'json',
success : function (data) {
$.each(data, function(index) {setTimeout(function(){
var first_name = data[index].first_name;
var location = data[index].location;
var imagePath = data[index].image_path;
var d = $('

}, 250*(index +1));

I figured out why the simple captcha is not working.
wp-login.php calls:
wp-load.php calls:
wp-config.php calls:
wp-settings.php which invokes:
wp_unregister_globals() (around line 46) which unsets $_SESSION variables if register_globals is ON.
If register_globals is turned OFF on your PHP server, then simple captcha will work. This explains why it works for some and not others. BTW register_globals is OFF permanently in PHP 6.0.

Make the mechanism that put the movies on the big screen.
This project first appeared in MAKE Volume 38, on pages 82–83.
Controversy swirls about who most deserves credit for inventing motion pictures. Thomas Edison, Eadweard Muybridge, and Étienne-Jules Marey all have their advocates, but a pretty good case can be made that French brothers Auguste and Louis Lumière were the fathers of the modern movie. Moving picture cameras and display systems existed prior to the Lumières' creations, but the experience we get at the local multiplex is due, in large part, to this brilliant pair.
The Lumières were born in Besancon, France, in the 1860s. Their father, Antoine, was a well-known portrait painter who, seeing an opportunity in the nascent photography industry, started a photographic equipment manufacturing business. Both boys worked for their father, the younger brother Louis in a technical role and the older Auguste as a manager. The business became largest manufacturer of photographic plates in Europe.
In 1894, Antoine saw a demonstration of Edison's kinetoscope, an early motion picture player. He was impressed; not so much by the technology, but by the potential for an entirely new entertainment-based business. Excited by their father's vision, the brothers took up the challenge of building something that would provide a better, more immersive motion picture experience than the peephole that Edison's kinetoscope used. If moving pictures were to become popular, they believed, the image had to be projected on a large screen. Not only could many people watch (and pay for) the movie at one time, but the experience would be bigger, grander, and more exciting. Besides that, the kinetoscope was a gigantic piece of equipment, heavy, bulky, and breathtakingly expensive.
They moved forward with astounding speed, designing and patenting their device in 1895. Unlike Edison's heavy and expensive machine, the Lumières' cinématographe was compact and lightweight, weighing a mere 16 pounds. It used a simple hand-cranked mechanism instead of the kinetoscope's heavy, noisy, and expensive DC electric motor. But certainly the most important advance was that their machine was a bona-fide projector, able to throw a moving image onto a large screen, making it possible for a group of people to watch a movie at the same time. In March 1895, the brothers screened a short film called La Sortie de l'Usine Lumière a Lyon for a Parisian audience. The 47-second long movie is a bit short on plot and character development — it consists mainly of female workers walking out of the gates of the Lumière factory in Lyon, France. The highlight is when a man almost rides a bicycle but then doesn't. The Godfather it isn't, but in terms of movie technology, it was a world changer.
The cinematograph did a lot of things much better than did the praxinoscope, the kinetoscope, the mutoscope, or any other of the motion picture machines that preceded it. The patent drawings detail, among other innovations, its most important technological advance: the incorporation of a sophisticated mechanism called an eccentric cam to position a single frame of the film stock in front of the projector lens, hold it there for one-sixteenth of a second, and then quickly advance the film to the next frame.
If you were to visit a movie theater in 1985, you would doubtlessly notice a projectionist in the back of the room, carefully cranking the cinematograph at a speed of 2 revolutions per second. By maintaining this cranking speed, he moved the film past the projecting lens at a feed rate of 16 frames per second, providing a smooth, realistic depiction of motion, perfect for films of factory employees leaving work, passengers getting on and off trains, babies eating crackers, and other popular turn-of-the-19th-century storylines. (You can see the entire selection of the films the Lumière Brothers exhibited at the 1895 Paris debut at http://www.institut-Lumière.org/english/films/1seance/accueil.html.)
More than a century ago, the Lumières brought the motion picture into world focus when they created the modern movie theater experience. They were the pioneers whose cam-controlled movie projector provided the means not only to tell stories but to permanently preserve and depict nearly all aspects of life.
The Cam Controlled Movie Projector
Rotary cams are among the most important mechanical mechanisms. Every car and truck has a bunch. They're in sewing machines, weight training machines, machine tools, assembly lines, and myriad other common technologies. Their main purpose is to translate rotating motion into linear motion. To do this, a spring is often used to keep a part called a follower in sliding contact with a rotating disk called a cam. As the cam turns, the follower traces out a programmable up-and-down pattern that can used to control the speeds, accelerations, and directions of machine parts.
In their movie projector, the Lumière brothers designed the cam follower to completely enclose the cam. In this design, neither a spring nor gravity is necessary to maintain sliding contact; the mechanism works flawlessly in any direction or orientation. The follower is connected to claws or pins that grab the movie film by its perforations, hold it stationary in front of the lens for a one-sixteenth of a second, and then advance the film through the projector and release the perforations. This method provides a smooth, relatively simple, and above all, dependable method of moving, pausing, and advancing film. To see it in action, visit makezine.com/go/lumierecam.
Make a Lumière Cam and Follower Mechanism
This project is fun to make, and you'll get a really interesting desk toy out of it. When you turn the crank, the claw moves with a peculiar motion that you can adjust by making small changes in the profile of the cam with a file or saw blade. You can perform endless experiments with the shape of the cam to make the follower move in a variety of interesting ways.
Always wear safety glasses when using tools. Use a jigsaw to cut the 2"×2" square opening centered in the 3½"×3½"×3/8" follower piece. Use sandpaper to smooth the interior surfaces; they must be completely smooth and free from nicks in order for the cam to slide easily inside the follower.
Drill a ¼" hole ½" deep in the exact centers of the upper and lower ends of the cam follower. Add a drop of glue to each hole and insert the pin and claw dowels. Let dry.
Using the diagram as a guide, use a jigsaw to cut the cam. Sand the surface completely smooth, making sure it is free from nicks or pits. Test-fit the cam inside the square hole in the cam follower — you must be able to completely rotate the cam inside the hole without any binding or interference. If binding occurs, note where the interference takes place and use sandpaper or a file to remove enough wood from the cam so it turns smoothly.
Drill two 3/8" holes completely through the cam as shown, for the axle and the crank. Enlarge the axle hole to 7/16" so the cam can spin freely. Take care to avoid splintering the wood as you drill.
Drill three 3/8" holes through the base as shown. Glue the axle and the pin guides into the holes, then glue the prop to the back of the base, centered near the top. Clamp and let dry.
Place some glue in the cam's crank hole and insert the crank, making sure it doesn't protrude out the back. Wipe up any excess glue and let dry.
Carefully smooth all surfaces with sandpaper. The smoother the cam and follower surfaces, the better they work. Paint (if desired) and let dry completely.
Place the cam axle through the hole in the cam. Place the cam follower over the cam, making sure the pin is located between the 2 pin guides as shown.

Climate Change Keeps Expanding Canada's Unprecedented Epidemic Of Forest-Destroying Beetles
Since the late 1990s, climate change has driven a massive expansion of forest-destroying Mountain Pine Beetles in Canada, delivering the country one of the worst ecological disasters in its history. The insects are not technically invasive, and until recently they existed in a natural balance with their environment; killing off older trees and making room for new growth. But as a new documentary chronicles, climate change eliminated many of the natural limits on the beetles' geographic spread and their rate of reproduction.
The Mountain Pine Beetles were historically contained to the pine forests west of the Canadian Rockies, which had adapted to the insects' presence. Their ability to spread and reproduce is heavily effected by temperature: as the climate warmed, cyclical cold snaps killed off less and less of the population. They dispersed over greater geographic areas and into higher elevations as warmer temperatures rendered those areas more hospitable. They even began reproducing twice per year rather than once. As a result, midway through the 2000s, the beetles crossed the mountains:
Farmers on the eastern slope of the Rockies described huge clouds of insects. They could hear them pinging off their steel roofs. The swarms were so dense they gummed up the windshield wipers on the farmers' vehicles.
It was an unprecedented eastward spread of the beetles into the boreal forests of north-central Alberta, as well as further north into the Yukon and other areas. These forests had historically been untouched by beetle infestations and thus hadn't adapted many natural defenses, leaving them unusually vulnerable. Meanwhile, over the span of a decade, the beetles ate through 18 million hectares of the western Lodgepole Pine forests in which they originated:
The damage now extends throughout the rest of North America as well. The beetles have wiped out 70,000 square miles of the Rocky Mountain forests in just over a decade — an area equivalent to that of Washington State — bringing the threat of increased wildfires thanks to the forests of dead trees left behind. In Wyoming, specifically, milder winters since 1994 have reduced the beetles' die-off rate in the cold season from 80 percent per year to less than 10 percent. All told, the number of beetles attacking in a given year has increased as much as 60 times over, resulting in the largest epidemic ever recorded.
Making matters worse, the beetles are also producing a positive feedback loop that worsens climate change. As forests are killed off, it means fewer trees are left to draw carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. At the same time, the dead trees themselves release the carbon they had previously stored — 990 million tons of CO2 from the forests of British Columbia alone, as of the middle of last year. As for the boreal forests the beetles are moving into, estimates put the amount of carbon stored there at 703 billion tons — twice the storage capacity per unit of area as tropical forests.
The good news, if you can call it that, is that the beetles have been so successful at killing off the lodgepole pines that they may have undercut their own food supply, putting an upper limit on their increase. The eastern boreal forests are also less contiguous, making it harder for the insects to continue marching eastward. And some suppression efforts — such as burning infected trees and removing threatened threatened stands to cut off the beetles' pathway — have shown results.
On the other hand, the beetles born in less adapted forests are healthier and larger according to scientists, some of whom worry the insects could make it all the way to the Atlantic Coast.
18 Responses to Climate Change Keeps Expanding Canada's Unprecedented Epidemic Of Forest-Destroying Beetles
Natural controls of mountain pine beetle include woodpeckers and insects such as clerid beetles that feed on adults and larvae under the bark. However, during outbreaks these natural controls often fail to prevent additional attacks.
Extreme cold temperatures also can reduce MPB populations. For winter mortality to be a significant factor, a severe freeze is necessary while the insect is in its most vulnerable stage; i.e., in the fall before the larvae have metabolized glycerols, or in late spring when the insect is molting into the pupal stage. For freezing temperatures to affect a large number of larvae during the middle of winter, temperatures of at least 30 degrees below zero (Fahrenheit) must be sustained for at least five days.
When I was a kid growing up in Denver I recall at least two cold snaps of -20F in town that lasted three days. In the mountains to the west it would have been colder longer. Any more, yeah — its still Colorado and it'll still occasionally get cold. But not that cold.
Good article, except for the gratuitous insertion of logging propaganda:
"… bringing the threat of increased wildfires thanks to the forests of dead trees left behind."
There is no evidence that a standing dead forest is a greater fire risk than a green forest; in drought conditions, the green forest represents the greater risk of uncontrollable wildfire.
One man's "logging propaganda" is another's sound forest management. The moment we waged war on natural forest fire, a century and a half ago, was the moment we assumed responsibility for the outcome. Yes, irresponsible clear-cutting gave the industry a deserved bad name. No excuses. But I've seen forests thinned by fire, by beetles, and by responsible logging practice. And I know which one I prefer.
You seem to be making the case that some evidence has in fact been gathered on the subject, and the evidence is nuanced. The worst fire conditions are just after a once-green forest experiences short-term drought or some other condition that forces dieback.
The main thrust of Climate Progress is inhibiting and reversing catastrophic climate change, but we're also in part worried about climate change adaptation so that another Colorado Springs doesn't burn down soon. Would creating more fire lanes or setting more judiciously controlled burns help adapt short-term to the situation?
No. Such suggestions reflect the same mindset that advocates for additional rip-rap on barrier islands, or higher levees in floodplains. This mindset is part of the problem, not part of the solution.
Along the lines of logging propaganda – anyone else follow the House Natural Resources committee hearing yesterday? – I'm uncomfortable with the headline here.
I understand the desire to trumpet the dangerous impacts of climate change, which do include large ecological shifts and devastating changes.
But the fact is that beetles rarely if ever "destroy a forest". They can kill many of the trees in a forest and leave the look of devastation.
Trees at different life stages are impacted differently, and in most if not all beetle flare-ups, many trees survive.
Plus, the standing dead trees retain substantial biomass (including carbon) that the living forest will recycle and continue storing over time. And standing dead trees, in a couple of years of so, become less of a wildfire substrate than living forest!
Industrial clearcut logging continues today on vast scales in Oregon and in western Canada. It is itself a significant climate change accelerator, with an emissions footprint comparable to large coal power plants. And the rallying cry of industrial timber in the US today, fully on display at yesterday's Republican-dominated hearing, is that we need to accelerate logging (aka "active management") to "protect" forests from fire and beetles.
So dispelling timber mythology is itself an important part of the fight against climate change. Let's try not to accidentally perpetuate it.
More myths of industrial timber:
The Corruption of Wood
Joe, I appreciate your degree of uncertainty! :-) This seems like a fairly measured discussion of several chunks of the issue, even though it's not at the peer-reviewed publication level:
Mountain Pine Beetles Expansion in the West
"When beetle outbreaks follow normal patterns and occur within the bounds of historical variation, they do not destroy, but rather support a forest's long-term structure, function and resilience.
"Yet, this time, something is different. For the first time, pronouncements that beetles destroy may have real meaning for some affected forests."
Keep in mind that a forest can undergo a transition in dominant species over time, and still be a forest. Most natural forests have some degree of species diversity that contributes to their long term bulk resiliency.
On the other hand, some forests subjected to different environmental conditions by climate change may not recover from severe disturbance. In such cases, I would say the forest was "destroyed" by climate change – the combination of multiple climate change factors – as much as or more than by a specific disturbance cause, like beetles.
Overall, please beware. It is simply true that much of the information that comes out from behind the "timber curtain" is highly biased, overgeneralized, and heavily exploited to further the political/economic grip of an industry that is effectively mining the deep legacy of our remaining temperate native forests.
It's much like the fossil fuel industry, in terms of generating outsized profits from simple extraction.
But where fossil fuel extraction doesn't functionally impoverish its underground substrates (as far as we know), simply killing the biosphere with emissions impacts afterwards, ongoing liquidation of the native forests gets us on both ends.
The extraction of native forest through industrial clearcutting impoverishes whole watersheds, even entire regional landscapes, killing off priceless salmon runs, cutting water for agriculture, slashing biodiversity, and breaking rural communities. And it generates substantial net emissions, over critical timeframes, in addition.
Logging, as you say, is strip-mining the forests. How much of the forest that you possessed in 1492 remains today? In Australia the logging industry is remorseless. Every living tree is a pile of money waiting to be plundered, even if only for a pittance paid for woodchips. The idea of a forest as a complex system, a climax community of rich biodioversity does not just 'not compute' with the greedheads. It also affronts them as an insult to their hubristic belief in human dominance of and superiority to the mere 'natural' world. The destroyers pillage not just to reap money, but to assert their ego-driven dominance.
Lewis Cleverdon's comments from last August
are worth recalling to this thread
In part:
"Yet the resource need not and definitely should not be left to rot or burn. What it should be is the pump-priming resource for America's program of carbon recovery, specifically the recovery over time of its 'historic emissions', with the forests' full replanting being funded by the sale of products.
"Simple mobile charcoal retorts could convert about 70% of the wood's carbon to charcoal, with about 28% of the wood's energy potential being released as crude woodgas which is readily converted to methanol by small modular stills.
"This would not only provide an unprecedented scale of rural employment, but also sufficient charcoal for biochar production to treat around 160 million acres at 10Ts/acre, thereby both raising soil fertility and also moisture moderation. In addition it would launch a potentially highly sustainable methanol silvifuel industry (as distinct from agri-fuels) on a very substantial scale. Both of these technologies are of major international significance and replicability, and the US would do very well to set the lead on them.
"So where are the green entrepreneurs seeking major innovative necessary enterprises,
and the progressive politicians seeking mass employment options and the raising of US international respect,
and the farm lobby seeking improved drought and flood resistance of the farmlands,
and the manufacturers seeking new equipment mass-production options for home sales and export,
and the conservationists seeking the restoration of the forests and the avoidance of this massive feedback loop on global warming?"
So there is economic potential in the necessity of dealing with sequestration and restoration in vast tracts of damaged forest – which should be included in calculations of ultimate C02(e) release. But also this: 70,000 sq. mi. of contiguous dead forest represents an enormous hit to fragile boreal ecosystems, species, watershed physiology & hydrology. More reason to get in there on the ground quickly (with some economic incentive) and begin restoration/carbon recovery/employment. It doesn't have to go to Big Timber schemes.
Brian – thanks for reposting my comment from last year – perhaps the 'isolationist' school of environmentalism will attempt to respond this time rather than just ignoring the threat issues it raised and the benign potentials of their remediation.
The threats are now looking pretty dire. The beetle has crossed the Rockies and has made the species jump into the Boreal Forest's jack pine. The raised potential for wildfire is plainly not immediate but rather it rises once the trees begin to fall, generating a massive fuel load on the ground, as was shown in some of last year's exceptional fires of old beetle-hit lodgepole pine in Washington State.
The failure to recognize the facts that such fires can destroy the seed bank, and that exposed soils will both erode and be more prone to drought, and that together with increasing weather volatility including drought these all diminish the chance of natural regeneration, may explain some of the isolationist's attitude. They fail to appreciate the fact that without respectful integration of human aims with the forests' wellbeing we're looking at the beginning of the forests' eradication. AKA Dieback.
As one notable part of the GHG cocktail of forest fire emissions, NOx outputs are greatly raised by high temperature fires. NOx has a GWP of 289 over 20 yrs, and a residence time of about 300 years, and is also a primary ozone precursor and acid rain precursor, meaning that this is a significant and exceptionally long-lasting threat, particularly to forests.
Also, in a generally fine article Jeff Spross misses one critical factor, namely that of the CH4 output from the anaerobic decay of dead trunks which greatly multiplies the total CO2e output from a killed forest. Taking CH4's GWP on the crucial 20yr time horizon and the figures of 3.664 and 1.25 as the multiples of carbon's weight for CO2 and CH4 respectively, the rise in CO2e from 6%,12%, and 18% of carbon being emitted as methane is about 3-fold, 5-fold and 7-fold respectively (299%, 497% and 696%).
As Jeff remarks, there are about 700GtC held in the Boreal Forest, of which much is now at risk from the bark beetle. If just 10% of that is killed in the next 20 years, we're looking at ruinous CO2e emissions – Even at 6% of carbon output as CH4, if spread over a 20 yr outgassing period it would average about 38.3Gt CO2e per year – which is substantially more than current Global anthro-CO2 emissions, let alone those of North America.
Several conclusions can be drawn from this.
– First, it is clear that neither a societal collapse nor a successful Emissions Control treaty (with a timelagged end of anthro warming in 2080) will halt the acceleration of this forest-dieback feedback loop, which is of a potential scale, by itself, to replace uncontrolled BAU anthro-CO2 emissions and their warming impact.
The stringently supervised RD&D of both the Carbon Recovery and Albedo Restoration forms of Geo-E is thus obviously needed for their inclusion as essential additional components of a 'tripod' global climate treaty. Those who oppose this inevitable requirement simply aren't up to speed on the scientific reporting of the compounding threats we now face.
– Second, those who oppose the responsible processing of the beetle-killed gigatonnes of deadwood for biochar and co-product methanol are not only encouraging their massive unnatural GHG emissions, thus worsening AGW and hastening the dieback of the forests they aim to protect, they are also directly hindering what is probably the best opportunity on the planet for the unilateral launch of the essential Carbon Recovery program and its technologies and best practices research.
– Third, in doing so they also reinforce the anti-enterprise anti-employment anti-integration profiles of environmentalism that have been critically disempowering for decades – to the point that a Democrat president can blithely ignore ecological concerns in favour of pursuing the adopted Neo-Con global climate policy of studied inaction.
I'd suggest that it is high time US environmentalism shifted its basic philosophy from the isolationism of evidently failed preservationist strategies to the integrationism of advancing society's respectful engagement with the ecosphere, and particularly its forests, on grounds that we are, inescapably, a crucial part of the ecology.
The effective response to the harvesting and replanting of the beetle killed forests is a unique opportunity in which to express this change of approach, and if done well it could be seminally productive in breaking the entrapment of organized ecological concerns within one of the two tribes of the political circus that afflicts America's prospects.
"The raised potential for wildfire is plainly not immediate but rather it rises once the trees begin to fall, generating a massive fuel load on the ground, as was shown in some of last year's exceptional fires of old beetle-hit lodgepole pine in Washington State."
As long as you keep basing your arguments on anecdotal misattributions of beetle-fire relationships, you will convince no one knowledgeable of the ecological, and carbon sequestration, values of natural forests.
Mulga, have you ever worked in the Australian forest management sector? I am a forester and I can tell you with 100% certainity your views are wrong. Forestry in Australia is about sustainable management, sure there are cases where they fail (but from my experience this isn't due to "greed" but due to inept managers).
I would suggest the biggest issue with me regarding forestry in Australia is the "greens" push for an end to native forestry. This has led to plantations taking being prefered to native forests when land is reclaimed (the USA similarly has more forest area now than prior to 1400s, yet their area of native forests continue to decline) … and the environmental movement has largely led to this shift.
That was what your whole previous argument was based on Brian though? Not to mention this comment too.
Dead trees create a more hazardous landscape to fight fires in, as they pose a threat to fire fighters. Many dead trees were will be indiscriminatley felled before a fire to minimise the risks (common safety practice in Australian bush fires).
The only positive of dead trees in a forest is that spotting may be decreased (that is as there are no leaves, bark may have fallen off etc.), therefore less ability for embers to "jump" contaminant lines.
In my view knowledgeable peole are already well aware of "the ecological, and carbon sequestration, values of natural forests" so your statement is incoherent.
Your appeal to academia to support your advocacy of inaction is equally vain, as your claim that beetle-fire relationships are merely "anecdotal misattributions" simply betrays your ignorance of the peer-reviewed literature. Try for instance
Simard, Martin, William H. Romme, Jacob M. Griffin, and Monica G. Turner. 2011. "Do mountain pine beetle outbreaks change the probability of active crown fire in lodgepole pine forests?" Ecological Monographs 81:3–24″ in which the probability of crown fires is shown to decline at the expense of raised fuel loading on the ground. Speaking of the fuel load once grey stage dead forest starts to fall, they remark:
"In subsequent decades, coarse wood loads doubled and canopy base height declined to 0m". And as any profeesional firefighter or forester will inform you, doubling the natural fuel load on the ground will raise the probability, and the intensity, of wildfire, with the latter effect maximizing the damage to the seed bank.
However, your focus on denying the beetle-fire relationship is of course a diversionary canard – depending on the deadwood's age and moisture content, from the critical CO2e perspective wildfire may be greatly preferable to leaving the wood to rot and maximize its CH4 output, just as the deadwood's harvesting and processing for sequestration is hugely preferable to seeing the wood burn.
The inaction that you advocate maximizes the probability that much of the forest killed by the bark beetle will be permanently lost, since natural regeneration under an increasingly volatile climate strongly favours colonizers such as switchgrass and other competitors.
In addition, your advocacy of inaction carries a complicity in the probability of massive ongoing forest loss generating CO2e outputs exceeding the present global CO2 emissions – i.e. far larger than those for which even the Koch brothers are culpable.
If you want to be taken seriously as a forest conservationist you'd do well to start supporting the necessary mitigation actions for their conservation, rather than clinging to out-dated inneffective isolationist strategies of forests' exclusion from benign intervention.
>>>> ""In subsequent decades, …"
You do not even understand what you cite. I pointed this about before about your silly anecdotal assertion about beetle-killed deadfall being "responsible" recent Washington fires.
Asserting an inevitable association with 50 years time interval (the time it takes for the canopy to reappear) is handwaving.
>>>> "The only positive of dead trees in a forest …"
Typical myopia of a tree farmer, who sees only a fiber farm, not a diverse ecosystem.
Your lack of any argument refuting the massive CO2e output the beetle-killed forests represent informs me that you have none, but would rather cling to your diversionary denial of the raised probability and intensity of wildfire due to the timber's collapse into fuel load on the ground.
Your claim that it takes 50 years for the canopy to reappear is obviously false. See "Conifer Regeneration after Forest Fire in the Klamath-Siskiyous: How Much, How Soon?" by Shatford, Hibbs & Puettmann in the Journal of Forestry, whose very painstaking researches show a regeneration period to a highly combustible canopy of just 9 to 19 years.
Thus where regeneration after beetle kill is possible under the increasingly volatile climate and the raised competition from pioneer species, the canopy closes over a doubled fuel load on the ground, providing prime conditions for wildfire. I would repeat the point that those areas of beetle killed forest which fail to burn will provide far more damaging CO2e outputs due to their methane content.
Your fixation with the isolation of beetle killed forest from responsible forestry intervention and your lack of interest in discussing the proper approaches to avoiding the beetle's massive feedback on climate destabilization means that it appears a waste of time conversing with you.

Playboy is a monthly American men's magazine. It was founded by Hugh Hefner in Chicago, Illinois in 1953. Marilyn Monroe was the magazine's first cover model.
The magazine features articles about men's interests including politics, clothing, sports, consumer goods, public figures, and nude women.
In each issue, a provocative posed "Playmate of the Month" is featured in a pictorial several pages in length at the center of the magazine with an accompanying "centerfold" photograph. Unlike traditional pin up art, Playboy humanizes their models by describing their real world jobs, accomplishments, and goals.[1]
Hefner faced obscenity charges only once in his career. In 1960, he was hauled into a Chicago court after publishing nude photos of actress Jayne Mansfield on the set of Promises! Promises! He was acquitted.
Some people call Playboy pornographic but it is not.[2] Pornography shows real sex acts,[3] Playboy does not. Playboy models also do not masturbate or use sex toys in their pictures. Every month, Playboy selects a young woman as a "Playmate of the Month". Readers then vote for who they want to be the "Playmate of the Year" (PMOY). The PMOY issue is usually the June issue.[4]
