'Nuisance Flooding' Will Affect
Most of U.S. Coastline by 2050, Report Finds
By 2050, most U.S. coastal areas are likely to be threatened by 30 or more days of flooding each year due sea level
Nuisance flooding projections for U.S. cities
according to
a new report the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The researchers looked at the frequency of so-called "nuisance flooding," which occurs when the water level reaches one to two feet above local high tide, and found that several cities along the East Coast are already seeing more than 30 days of nuisance flooding each year. Additional major cities — including Baltimore, Atlantic City, Philadelphia, and San Francisco — will reach or exceed that benchmark by 2030, the report says. Although nuisance flooding is not typically catastrophic or dangerous, it is often costly. The report drives home the point, researchers say, that such floods will become commonplace far earlier than 2100, which is generally cited as the date when sea level rise is likely to become damaging.

of the most productive fishing grounds in the nation, from future oil and gas development. The president's action is expected to benefit commercial fishermen and Native Alaskans and boost conservation efforts in the region, which is roughly the size of Florida. Noting that Bristol Bay is the world's largest sockeye salmon fishery and the source of 40 percent of U.S. wild-caught seafood — a catch worth $2 billion annually — Obama vowed to ensure long-term safeguards for the bay. The region has been under protection intermittently since 1989, when the Exxon Valdez spill prompted a federal moratorium on offshore drilling. "It is a natural wonder, and it's something that's just too precious to be putting out to the highest bidder," Obama said in a
video message
. The federal government is still considering whether to allow development of what would be North America's
largest open-pit mine
in the bay's watershed.

the most isolated population on earth, researchers
. With fewer than 100 estimated individuals, they are "definitely the most endangered" population of humpbacks, said Wildlife Conservation Society researcher Howard Rosenbaum. The Arabian humpbacks' known range is limited to waters near Yemen, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Iran, Pakistan, and India, and possibly the Maldives and Sri Lanka, researchers say. Genetic data suggest they have remained separate from other humpback whale populations for 70,000 years — extremely unusual in a species famed for annual migrations of 9,000 kilometers or more. The genetic separation is likely reinforced by their breeding schedule, researchers say. While Arabian humpbacks breed on a northern hemisphere schedule, their closest neighbors breed on a southern schedule.

Real-Time Ocean Acidification
Data Now Available for U.S. Pacific Coast

online tool
developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The data — which includes measurements of pH, carbon dioxide concentrations, salinity, and water temperatures at various sites — should help organizations and businesses make decisions about managing coastal resources and craft adaptation strategies, NOAA researchers say. The tool will feature data from five shellfish hatchery sites along the Pacific coast along with readings from NOAA's ocean acidification monitoring sites. Ocean acidification is driven primarily by absorption of atmospheric CO2 by ocean waters, which changes seawater chemistry in a way that makes it difficult for many marine organisms to form their shells.

the world's oceans and seas, according to a
new study
quantifying global shipping traffic. Traffic went up in every ocean during the 20 years of the study, except off the coast of Somalia, where piracy has almost completely halted commercial shipping since 2006. In the Indian Ocean, where the world's busiest shipping lanes are located, ship traffic grew by more than 300 percent over the 20-year period, according to the report published in the journal
Geophysical Research Letters
. Burgeoning ship traffic has increased the amount air pollution, particularly above the Sri Lanka-Sumatra-China shipping lane, where researchers recorded a 50-percent increase in nitrogen dioxide, a common air pollutant, over the 20-year period. Shipping is also a major source of noise pollution, which can be harmful to marine mammals, the authors note.

Global Maps Detail Seasonal and Geographic Trends in Ocean Acidification
A team of scientists has published the most comprehensive analysis yet of how acidity levels vary across the world's oceans. Drawing on four decades of
Taro Takahashi
Ocean acidification map
measurements, researchers from Columbia University and the University of Colorado mapped changes in ocean acidity by season and location, as well as how acidity levels affect the stability of shell-building minerals.
The maps
reveal that the northern Indian Ocean is at least 10 percent more acidic than the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, possibly due to its unique geography, the researchers say. The maps also show that ocean acidity fluctuates most in the colder waters off Siberia, Alaska, Antarctica, and the Pacific Northwest, due to cycles of deep-water upwelling and massive plankton blooms. The oceans have taken up a quarter of the carbon dioxide humans have put in the atmosphere over the last two hundred years, and acid levels at the surface have increased by 30 percent since the beginning of the industrial era, researchers say.

Climate Change To Make Many
Fish Species Extinct in Tropics, Study Says
Climate change is likely to drive fish and marine invertebrates toward the poles and cause extinctions
Local extinction hotspots
near the tropics,
according to
researchers at the University of British Columbia. Under the conservative climate change scenario of one degree Celsius of warming by 2100, the 802 species
modeled in the study
are predicted to move away from their current habitats by as much as 9 miles, or 15 kilometers, every decade — a rate similar to what scientists have observed over the past few decades. Under the worst-case scenario of three degrees of warming, the researchers predict marine species will move toward the poles at a rate of 26 kilometers per decade. Under that scenario, an average of 6.5 species per 0.5 degrees of latitude would become locally extinct closest to the equator. The shifts will be caused by the species' reactions to warming waters, changing ocean chemistry, and ecosystem structure near the tropics, as well as new habitats opening up nearer the poles, researchers say.

Floods Will Be Chronic Problem
For East Coast Cities by 2030, Study Says
By 2030, residents of Washington, D.C., and Annapolis, Maryland, could be experiencing more than 150 tidal floods every year — up
Tidal flood frequency
from an average of just 50 today — according to a recent study of sea level rise and coastal flood risk along the U.S. East Coast by the
Union of Concerned Scientists
. In another 15 years, that number could jump to 400 floods annually, the study says. A home purchased in some of the more flood-prone parts of those two cities could see daily flooding before a 30-year mortgage was paid off, according to the study. The increased frequency will be driven by sea level rise, researchers say, which exacerbates the effects of so-called "nuisance flooding" linked to tidal cycles, rainfall, and storm surges. Other cities on the Atlantic coast will also see increased flood frequency, including Miami and Atlantic City, New Jersey, which can expect an average of 240 flood days per year by 2045.

Deep Oceans Not Warming As Previously Thought, Study Finds
The deepest reaches of earth's oceans have not warmed significantly over the last decade, according to scientists at
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California
— a finding that undermines a leading theory as to why the pace of global warming has slowed over the last 15 years. Scientists have speculated that the recent slowdown in rising surface air temperatures was a result of heat accumulating in the deep ocean. But in
a paper
published in the journal
Nature Climate Change
, the NASA researchers concluded that the vast majority of sea level rise since 2005 was attributable to just two sources: upper ocean heat expansion and glacial melting. From this they inferred that the deep ocean was not also warming. In a
separate paper
published in the same journal, however, scientists from the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory noted that the upper ocean was absorbing between 24 and 58 percent more heat than was previously thought. That's not enough to account for the pause in surface air warming, but the researchers
it is evidence that more accurate data on ocean warming is needed.

Thousands of Uncharted Ocean
Floor Features Revealed by Satellite Data
New maps of the seafloor created using satellite data reveal thousands of uncharted mountains and clues
New detailed seafloor maps
about the formation of continents, researchers say. Among other findings, they identified a ridge in the Gulf of Mexico that had previously been associated with seafloor spreading, a major rift in the South Atlantic Ocean, and thousands of sea mountains — all of which had never before been documented. The maps are based on small ripples and dips in the surface of the ocean, which can be detected by satellites, the researchers explain in the journal
. Using these ocean surface variations, the scientists were able to infer the shape and contours of the new seafloor features. Previously, the only way to create detailed maps was to collect depth soundings from ships sailing directly over the seafloor, so only about 20 percent of the ocean floor had been accurately mapped, researchers say.

Large Sediment Plumes Flowing
From Greenland Glaciers, Images Show
Plumes of sediment-laden meltwater from southwest Greenland's glaciers are easily recognizable in this

captured in early September. Meltwater at the top of the ice sheet starts out relatively clean, but as it flows through glacial channels down to the ground and out into the ocean, it picks up large amounts of sediment — a byproduct of the glacier scraping the bedrock. As a result, plumes like the ones that appear light-blue in this photograph, are good markers for estimating the amount of meltwater leaving the ice sheet, researchers say. Melting from the Greenland Ice Sheet could result in global sea level rise of 2 to 8 inches, according to the most recent assessment from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Scientists Photograph Gathering
Of 35,000 Walruses on Alaskan Beach
In one of the largest gatherings of walruses documented in recent years, Alaska biologists photographed a
Gathering of walruses
congress of roughly 35,000 animals
resting on a beach
in northwestern Alaska. They swam to shore to rest, a walrus researcher explained, after the last remaining traces of sea ice melted in mid-September. Walruses typically rely on sea ice to provide a platform for resting and caring for their young as they swim to find clams, worms, and shrimp offshore, near the edge of the continental shelf. When no sea ice is available, as has been the case in the Chukchi Sea six of the last eight years, the walruses must make their way to shore. Besides taking them farther from their feeding grounds, the beach gatherings are dangerous for young walruses because they can be trampled, biologists say. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is considering granting Endangered Species Act protections to Pacific walruses.

Half of the Planet's
Animals Lost Since 1970, Report Says
The number of animals on the planet has fallen 52 percent in the last 40 years,
according to an analysis
Animal population trend since 1970
the conservation organization World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The group's Living Planet Index, which tracked the populations of more than 10,000 vertebrate species from 1970 to 2010, revealed major declines in key populations of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. The situation is most dire in developing countries, the report said, where wildlife populations have fallen on average by 58 percent. Latin America saw the biggest declines, with more than 80 percent of the region's animals lost since 1970. Globally, freshwater populations have plummeted 76 percent. This year's numbers are worse than those calculated in the last report in 2012, which found declines of 30 percent since 1970. The organization attributed this to new statistical weighting, which it said better represents each region's biodiversity, though other researchers
have been critical
of the new methodology. Habitat loss and degradation was cited as the primary cause of biodiversity loss.
Cashes Ledge: New England's
Rich Underwater Laboratory
A little over 70 miles off the coast of New England, an unusual undersea mountain range, known as Cashes Ledge, rises from the seabed. Regulators are contemplating lifting a 12-year-old ban on commercial groundfishing in some parts of this area, sparking a roiling debate. What's not in question, however, is that the highest peak in the range, Ammen Rock, teems with kelp forests, sea sponges, and a wide variety of fish and mollusks — much of it captured by ocean photographer Brian Skerry during dives made earlier this year.

Ocean Acidification May Dull
Sharks' Ability to Smell Prey, Study Finds
Ocean acidification, which is driven by rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, may cause sharks to

be less interested in hunting prey,
according to
research published in
Global Change Biology
. In laboratory experiments emulating CO2 concentrations as they are expected to be by the middle and end of this century, scientists from the U.S. and Australia found that the smooth dogfish shark became uninterested in squid odors — sometimes avoiding them altogether. Sharks in control waters pursued prey scents four times more often than sharks in waters with high CO2 levels, the study found. Rising ocean acidity can disrupt the proper firing of neurons, the scientists say, because it interferes with a specific receptor present in most marine organisms with a nervous system. A study earlier this year found that fish in waters with increased acidity were also less able to detect predator odors.

ShipWatch allows users to upload photos of illegal fishing activities to a database, where they are labeled with date and location information and plotted on a central map. The developers hope the data will help authorities enforce existing fishing laws by, for example, developing flight maps for surveillance drones or strategically deploying enforcement authorities. "There are laws in place to say [the fishing] is illegal. The problem is they lack any kind of reporting mechanism," developers told Fast Co.Exist.

Mercury Pollution in Oceans

Globally, oceans contain roughly 60,000 to 80,000 tons of mercury pollution,

a report published this week in
detailing the first direct calculation

of mercury pollution in the world's oceans. Ocean waters shallower than about 300 feet (100 meters) have tripled in mercury concentration since the Industrial Revolution, the study found, and mercury in the oceans as a whole has increased roughly 10 percent over pre-industrial times. North Atlantic waters showed the most obvious signs of mercury pollution, since surface waters there sink to form deeper water flows. In contrast, the tropical and Northeast Pacific were relatively unaffected. "We don't know what that means for fish and marine mammals, but likely that some fish contain at least three times more mercury than 150 years ago," and possibly more, the lead researcher said. "The next 50 years could very well add the same amount we've seen in the past 150."

Protection of Parrotfish
Could Slow Decline of Caribbean Reefs
The steady loss of coral reefs in the Caribbean could be partially reversed by taking a number of relatively simple steps, including stronger measures
to protect the region's parrotfish
, according to a new study. In a
review of trends in Caribbean coral reefs
from 1970 to 2012, the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network said that live coral only makes up about 17 percent of the region's reef surfaces today. If present trends continue, the study said, coral reefs in the Caribbean will "virtually disappear within a few decades" because of foreign pathogens, algae invasions, pollution from tourism development, over-fishing, and warming waters. A key step in halting the decline is protecting parrotfish, which eat the algae that have been smothering coral reefs. The study said conservation measures, such as banning fish traps, have helped parrotfish populations rebound in some parts of the Caribbean, including Belize and the Bahamas.

Kiribati, home to 110,000 people scattered across 33 islands in the Pacific Ocean, is one of several small island nations in the Pacific and Indian oceans that could be extensively or completely submerged within a few decades. The cost of protecting such countries often far outweighs their national incomes. Kiribati, with a GDP of under $200 million, ranks among the 10 countries facing the most severe financial impacts of climate change. The tract of 20 square kilometers on the island of Vanua Levu, Fiji, could provide a future refuge for all of Kiribati's citizens, the nation's president said.

by climate change,
according to
an international group of scientists. If sea ice declines at the rates projected by current climate models, at least two-thirds of the colonies will likely shrink by more than 50 percent by 2100, the researchers report in
Nature Climate Change
. That conclusion follows a 50-year study in eastern Antarctica of Emperor penguins, an iconic Antarctic species with 45 known colonies. Emperor penguins' survival is highly dependent on sea ice concentrations because they breed on the ice, and too little sea ice reduces the habitat for krill, a critical food source for the penguins. Granting the species protected status under the U.S. Endangered Species Act will provide tools for improving fishing practices of U.S. vessels in the Southern Ocean and potentially for reducing CO2 emissions in the U.S. under the Clear Air Act, the researchers say.

Intensity of Hurricanes
Now Peaking Farther From the Equator
Powerful, destructive tropical cyclones are now reaching their peak intensity farther from the equator and closer to the poles, according to
a new study
in the journal
Hurricane Sandy's progression in 2012
. Over the last 30 years, tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes or typhoons, have moved poleward at a rate of roughly 33 miles per decade in the Northern Hemisphere and 38 miles per decade in the Southern Hemisphere. Ocean temperatures between 82 and 86 degrees F seem to be "ideal for the genesis of tropical cyclones," said MIT scientist Kerry Emanuel, who co-authored the study, "and as that belt migrates poleward, which surely it must as the whole ocean warms, the tropical cyclone genesis regions might just move with it." The poleward shift of hurricanes and typhoons could lead to "potentially profound consequences to life and property" in regions that previously had not been hit by tropical cyclones.

Above average sea-surface heights are an indication of warmer waters, which expand as temperatures rise. These two images compare conditions in 1997 — a year with one of the most powerful El Niño events of the 20th century — with conditions this May. If an El Niño pattern does develop this year, it could lead to wetter conditions in western North America and South America, which could help end a severe drought now plaguing the U.S. West. The 1997/98 El Niño also created warmer and drier conditions in much of Asia. Other evidence, including data from a network of buoys in the Pacific, also shows a deep pool of warm waters sliding east across the Pacific since January.
Interview: Can Marine Life Adapt
To the World's Acidifying Oceans?
As the world's oceans grow more acidic from increased absorption of atmospheric carbon dioxide, marine scientists are confronting a key question: How well can
Gretchen Hofmann
organisms like mollusks, crustaceans, and corals adapt to these more corrosive conditions? One of the leading authorities in this field is University of California, Santa Barbara marine biologist Gretchen Hofmann. Her work in recent years has shown, in fact, that some sea organisms that build shells do seem to have some ability to acclimate to more acidic waters. But in an interview with
Yale Environment 360
, Hofmann cautions that this adaptive capacity has its limits. The continuing burning of fossil fuels, she says, could push ocean acidity past a tipping point, rendering some mollusks and other organisms unable to build shells.

new report
in the journal
. In a survey of 100 long-term biodiversity monitoring projects in a variety of habitats around the world, the authors found that the majority of those studies (59 percent) documented increasing species richness. Biodiversity declined in 41 percent of the studies, but, in all cases the overall change in biodiversity was modest, the researchers said. When looking at changes in the species constituting those communities, however, the researchers found a surprisingly high rate of change — an average of about 10 percent change per decade. "A main policy application of this work is that we're going to need to focus as much on the identity of species as on the number of species," one of the study's authors said. "The number of species in a place may not be our best scorecard for environmental change."

Natural Variations May Account
For Up to Half of Greenland's Warming
Up to half of the recent climate change in Greenland and surrounding regions — which have warmed at roughly twice the pace of the rest of the planet since 1979 — may be due to natural climate variations that originate in the tropical Pacific and are not connected
Meltwater from Russell Glacier
with the overall warming of the Earth, a
new study
says. Still, at least half the warming remains attributable to rising global carbon dioxide emissions, according to research published in the journal
. Climate data and advanced computer models show that changes in the western tropical Pacific Ocean, which has been about 0.3 degrees warmer than normal, have caused shifts in atmospheric pressure over the North Atlantic. Those changes set off a stationary wave in the atmosphere that arcs in a great circle from the tropical Pacific toward Greenland, pulling warmer air over that massive island. "Along this wave train there are warm spots where the air has been pushed down, and cold spots where the air has been pulled up," one author explained. "And Greenland is in one of the warm spots."

Once Sentinel satellite 1B is launched next year, the two will be able to map the entire globe in six days, giving researchers and conservationists a powerful way to monitor both short- and long-term changes in the environment. Four additional groups of satellites are set to launch this year. Those arrays will focus on high-resolution photo imagery, topography, surface temperatures, and atmospheric chemistry.

Extent of Marine Litter
Documented in Major Seafloor Survey
A major survey of the ocean floor has found trash piling up throughout the Atlantic and Arctic oceans and Mediterranean Sea, reaching depths of nearly 3 miles below the surface,
according to scientists
from 15
Marine litter from study
European research organizations. Litter was located at each of the 600 sites surveyed, with plastic accounting for 41 percent and derelict fishing gear 34 percent. Glass, metal, wood, cardboard, clothing, pottery, and unidentified materials were also found. Garbage accumulated at sites as far as 2,000 kilometers (1,243 miles) from land and at depths up to 4.5 kilometers (2.8 miles), according to the report. Seafloor litter is a major problem since it can accumulate in and kill marine animals that mistake it for food. The trash can also entangle fish, seabirds, and coral. "This survey has shown that human litter is present in all marine habitats, from beaches to the most remote and deepest parts of the oceans," one author said. "These were [humans'] first visits to many of these sites, but we were shocked to find that our rubbish has got there before us."

Self-reliance and sustainability in the 21st century.
By Robin Mather
backyard poultry, backyard chickens, poultry, chickens, backyard flock, eggs, Robin Mather
… Or he did, back in 1918, as this poster illustrates.
Funny how things change, isn't it? These days, people have to fight and petition and beg and plead in many municipalities to get their government to let them keep a few backyard hens. And even when city leaders permit it, they lay out complicated rules about how many, where and how the birds must be housed. And please! No roosters!
As the poster so rightly points out, two hens per person will keep a family in eggs. The flock will take minimal effort, cost little and provide plenty of enjoyment, because chickens are fun to watch.
City life, with its sirens, alarms, cars with stereos blaring heart-stopping bass throbbing, could do with a little of the natural beauty of a rooster's sunrise crowing. Suburbs could also benefit.
But a few hens don't make much noise anyway. So I can't understand the objections.
If this was sound advice from our national government in 1918, it's surely good advice today.
This poster might be just the tool you need if you're trying to persuade your local council or city leaders that you have the right to keep a few hens in your backyard.

Benefits of Booth & Chair Rentals in Your Salon
Many salon owners, especially when starting out, have to make a crucial decision; Do they rent booths or hire employees. Many people go into booth and chair rentals without understanding what it entails and can make a lot of mistakes along the way. While there are many advantages to booth and chair rentals, it's important to understand what the benefits are and how this system works.
Why Choose Booth Rentals
One of the best advantages of having a booth and chair rental system is that there is a guaranteed steady income regardless of how busy the salon operates. Throughout the year, there are high and low points, which can make a lot of salon owners scramble to make ends meet if they are on a commission system. However, having the rental system allows owners to keep up with their steady income, helping them to avoid having to lay people off or be under a great deal of stress during the year.
Another advantage is that this system helps to motivate employees. When an employee knows that they are responsible for their own success or failure, they're much more likely to be involved with the business and take charge of their space and their clients. In this type of system, a salon owner doesn't have to manage employees and can spend more time on other areas of running a business. This is also an advantage for the employees too. Most salon employees prefer to make their own schedule and work in their own way. In a booth rental system, they don't have to worry about the stress of being micro-managed. Overall, this system is preferred by both the employees and the salon owners.
Why Not Use a Commission Based System?
For a new salon owner, the commission system can be very expensive. When starting a business, they often have to pay high commissions to attract stars that will be sure to bring in lots of customers. If this system doesn't work out or the customers aren't as attracted to the salon as previously thought, this can result in huge losses for the salon owner. Consider this an important part of running a business, especially since many new salons will go under in their first few years. With a booth and chair rental system, the big names will still come, and they often prefer this system because they get to keep a higher percentage of the profits.
Finally, this type of system allows salon owners to have more control over the salon and the image that they are presenting. If a renter doesn't end up fitting the image, the owner doesn't have to renew the contract and is free to rent their space to another stylist.
These are some of the advantages of having a booth and chair rental system in a salon. This type of salon works best for both the employees and the owners and many people prefer this type of system over the commission type of salon. If opening a salon or considering how to hire stylists, consider booth and chair rental.

Hosting Location Benefits ?
I often see hosting providers advertising hosting locations with some locations being pricier then others, for example usually Scranton, PA servers are cheaper then LA, Chicago ones .
Are there any advantages of going with higher priced locations ?

I think that location choice should be based not on the price only. Sometimes that is important for people to have their servers as close as possible to their target audience.
The prices are different because: different data centers used, diffrent network providers etc.WebIntellects - Fully Managed Dedicated and Virtual Private Servers since1999.

The higher priced locations you mentioned are where the main internet exchanges are. The cheaper ones (like Scranton, PA) normally need to backhaul from one of these locations to their one, adding some latency in terms of bandwidth as well as not having such an availability of a carrier mix.

The big DCs from google, amazon and such seem to be very close to a major power source (like <1KM) which typically have the added benefit of being cheap land to build on.
The cost of living could also have an impact - a DC is new york is going to have to pay higher salaries than one in Scranton - I would assume.
I have no clue what the cost breakdown is, but you'd assume rent, salaries, power and connectivity are all big parts of the pie which vary widely from one location to another.

The only real benefit is latency for your target audience, or physical location if you're colo'ing. Otherwise bandwidth tends to be cheaper in chicago/texas, at least that's what i've noticed....really depends on the company and the network they've got put together.█ madgenius.com - Corp.

The Making of the Speech
By D.T. Max
Published: October 7, 2001
The president could not find the right words. Soon after the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were attacked on Sept. 11, he tried to articulate his response. In one week he gave more than a dozen speeches and remarks to comfort, rally and then -- when he'd rallied too much -- calm the country. To some, his language seemed undisciplined. He called the terrorists ''folks'' and referred to the coming battle as a ''crusade.'' He called for ''revenge,'' called Osama bin Laden the ''prime suspect'' and asked for him ''dead or alive.'' He said ''make no mistake'' at least eight times in public remarks. When Bush didn't seem lost, he often seemed scared. When he didn't seem scared, he often seemed angry. None of this soothed the public. ''It was beginning to look like 'Bring Me the Head of Osama bin Laden,' starring Ronald Colman,'' one White House official remembered.
In a time of national crisis, words are key to the presidency. Too many and people tune out; too few and they think he is hiding. The president knew he had not yet said the right things. He returned from Camp David the weekend after the attacks with an intense desire to make a major speech. His aides agreed. The president needed to reassure Americans while conveying a message of resolve to the world.
Shaping a successful speech wouldn't be easy. Karen P. Hughes, the counselor to the president, helped write the straightforward statement the president gave on the night of the attack. The speech, delivered from the Oval Office, was poorly received; it felt too slight, too brief for the great events. Three days later, the president's speechwriting team, led by Michael Gerson, came up with an eloquent meditation on grief and resolution, which the president read at the National Cathedral. ''We are in the middle hour of our grief,'' it began. But the beautiful speech sounded borrowed coming from Bush's mouth. The tone was too literary. The president's next speech had to be grand -- but it also had to sound more like him.
The White House also had to decide where to give it. Among the choices the president and his advisers had was an address to Congress, which had invited him to speak before a joint session. There is no greater backdrop for a president. But some advisers were reluctant. The president couldn't march up Pennsylvania Avenue without something new to say. And according to his advisers, Bush wasn't sure yet what the administration's response to the attack would be. Some advisers suggested a second Oval Office speech, which would be more intimate and controlled than an address to Congress. Others suggested speaking at a war college. He would look strong there.
Karl Rove, the president's chief political adviser, felt strongly that the president did better with a big audience. Applause revved him up. Congress, he thought, was ideal: it would build a sense of national unity. That was important. The speech was a huge political opportunity for Bush. War had given the president a second chance to define himself, an accidental shot at rebirth. Bush's first eight months had been middling. To many, he seemed a little slight for the job. His tax cut had gone through, but the education initiative, the defense transformation and the faith-based initiative were not moving forward well. Americans had still not embraced him as a leader. A strong speech could revive Bush's presidency.
The president decided to speak to Congress. But he wasn't sure yet what to say. The main focus of the speech was tricky to define. ''He had to speak to multiple audiences,'' his national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, later told me. ''He was speaking to the American people, foreign leaders, to the Congress and to the Taliban.''
Karen Hughes met Bush at the White House residence Sunday afternoon to discuss what ground the speech might cover. She jotted down notes: Who are they? Why they hate us? What victory means? How will it be won? On Monday morning, Bush talked to Hughes again. According to Hughes, he told her how to deal with the fact that military action might come anytime. ''If we've done something, discuss what we have done,'' he told Hughes. ''If not, tell people to get ready.'' He told her he wanted a draft quickly. Hughes called Michael Gerson and told him that he had until 7 p.m. to come up with something.
Gerson does not write alone. He has five other writers, two of whom he works closely with, Matt Scully and John McConnell. Scully is wiry and ironic, like a comedy writer. McConnell is more earnest. They help bring Gerson down to earth. Gerson, 37, is an owlish man who fills yellow pads with doodles when you ask him a question. He says he believes that social justice must be central in Republican thought. ''The great stories of our time,'' he told me, ''are moral stories and moral commitments: the civil rights movement, the War on Poverty.'' He and the president get along well. The president calls Gerson ''the scribe.'' They share an intensely felt Christianity.
Gerson had written speeches with Scully and McConnell during the campaign. They worked well together. Since then, Gerson has moved up a notch: he now has an office in the basement of the West Wing. The office is prestigious but not great for writing. It is claustrophobic and illuminated by artificial light. McConnell and Scully were in the Old Executive Office Building. If the West Wing, with its plush carpeting and secretaries in heels, resembles a Sun Belt office suite, the O.E.O.B. is by comparison a funky hotel. Every office, no matter how small, had its own couch, yet no office had a matching set of chairs. It was a good place to brainstorm.

Rose: Justice today for David Daleiden; Special prosecutor must look into charges against Planned Parenthood
(July 26, 2016) — Statement from Lila Rose, president and founder of national pro-life organization Live Action, on the Harris County, Texas, district attorney dropping all remaining charges against David Daleiden in the Center for Medical Progress 's undercover video investigation exposing Planned Parenthood:
"Justice won out today. David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt have done a tremendous service on behalf of the most defenseless in our nation, exposing the barbaric practice of baby body parts trafficking — and they should be commended, not penalized. Court documents show the DA communicated with Planned Parenthood behind the scenes from the beginning and gave the abortion giant public relations cover for months. It's now time for a special prosecutor to do what Planned Parenthood's own attorney admitted the DA didn't do: ask a grand jury to look into Planned Parenthood's harvesting of baby body parts. "
Live Action exposes late-term abortion procedure Planned Parenthood is advocating at Democratic convention [ VIDEO ]
(July 26, 2016) — As Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards takes the stage at the Democratic National Convention today, national pro-life organization Live Action released a new video that exposes the cruel late-term abortion procedure Planned Parenthood and its political allies advocate using to end the lives of fully developed preborn children.
Planned Parenthood has consistently fought state and federal restrictions on late-term abortions and lobbies for abortion into the ninth month of pregnancy, up until the moment of birth. Many of the nation's political leaders fully support its efforts.
Lila's Rose statement on DNC abortion platform
(July 25, 2016) — Statement from Lila Rose, president and founder of the national pro-life organization Live Action:
"The veil is lifted, and the abortion lobby and its political allies are showing America how extreme and pro-abortion — not 'pro-choice' — they really are. The draft Democratic Party platform demands that taxpayers fund abortions, opposes limits on abortion — including when a child in the womb can feel pain, and pledges to continue sending a half billion dollars a year of taxpayer's money to the largest abortion chain in America — a chain that kills over 320,000 preborn babies each year. We call on all of our nation's leaders — no matter what their political party — to reject the extremism of Planned Parenthood and vow to protect our most vulnerable, our innocent children in the womb."
Lila Rose: One year later, Congress has uncovered mountains of evidence, yet Planned Parenthood's barbaric baby parts trade continues
(July 14, 2016) — Statement from Lila Rose, president and founder of the national pro-life organization Live Action, on the one-year anniversary of the Planned Parenthood baby body parts trafficking scandal:
"One year ago today, the Center for Medical Progress started releasing horrific undercover videos showing senior Planned Parenthood officials talking casually about altering abortion procedures on often-vulnerable, unsuspecting women to harvest intact organs from their preborn children and then negotiating prices for the body parts.

Moroccan Orzo Salad Recipe
Submitted By:from Mt. Pleasant.
Moroccan Orzo Salad Notes
I discovered this recipe in a Moroccan Restaurant in Paris, France! I am not sure if it's authentic, but it's so delicious. I use it all summer long as a side dish staple. You can even add roasted chicken, lamb, or pork for a great summer main dish.
- 2 cups uncooked orzo
- 2 tablespoons turmeric
- 3 quarts water
- 1 cup kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
- 1 cup frozen baby peas
- 1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions or chives
- 1 tablespoon fresh ground pepper
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 cup feta cheese (optional)
Serves / Yields
4-6 persons
Preparation Instructions
In a large saucepan bring water and turmeric to a boil. Add the orzo and simmer 5-7 minutes until al dente. Drain and rinse under very cold water until the orzo is cool to the touch. Allow to drain of water completely, and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Toss in the rest of the ingredients and chill several hours or overnight. Readjust seasoning, add the feta cheese to the top of salad if desired, and serve.
Helpful Hints
a pinch of freshly ground cinnamon adds a very exotic Middle Eastern flare. I add roasted chicken, lamb, or pork to this salad to make it a great summer main dsish.

Sustainability Mandated for Washington State Government
Washington Governor Gary Locke signed an executive order last week that calls for sustainable environmental practices for all state agencies. The order requires that each state agency establish sustainability objectives and prepare a biennial sustainability plan. The order says the agency plans should be guided by a set of long-term goals, including minimizing energy and water use and shifting to "clean energy" for both facilities and vehicles (though the term "clean energy" is left undefined). To help implement the order, it also establishes a Sustainability Coordinator and a Sustainability Advisory Council, which will include representatives from the private sector. See the governor's press release, as well as the full text of the executive order.

An investigation has been launched into the use of the parliamentary computer network to post pro-Labor messages online, using fake names.
The Department of Parliamentary Services investigation was sparked by a story in the Colac Herald last week.
The Victorian newspaper reported a computer user in Parliament House had pretended to be at least nine different people while making pro-Labor comments online.
The user posed as an employee of Bulla Dairy Foods, Colac Area Health and Barwon Health among other organisations.
(Via sdog)
Have Your Say
Interesting that they believe the investigation to locate the exact computer will take a WEEK!
I guarantee your regular IT geek could find it in an hour!
Every suspect computer has an IP address and is connected to a hub via a password protected link. I reckon even I could track it down in a couple of hours!
This dopey government can't even stuff up properly!
Mon 11 Feb 13 (02:18pm)
Mon 11 Feb 13 (03:14pm)
It will take a week to properly dispose of all the evidence.
THEN find the offending computer.
Mon 11 Feb 13 (06:11pm)
Interesting that they believe the investigation to locate the exact computer will take a WEEK!
Boy that's quick.
Compare that to the investigation(s) of Thomo, Williamson, AWU etc
Mon 11 Feb 13 (06:20pm)
No Alan, a computer geek will track it down about 30 seconds after the computer has booted up.
But I agree with your summation!
Under the current voting system where the method of getting a voting paper is merely to state you haven't voted anywhere else and be crossed off , if you present yourself at 9 different voting booths (well as many as takes your fancy ) in your electorate you can have your vote count that many times . 20 booths = 20 votes per player in each house of parliament if you wish !
Not that the ALP and their minions have stooped that low in the past or would consider such an act .
Mon 11 Feb 13 (02:38pm)
Mon 11 Feb 13 (03:46pm)
Labor changed the act to allow voters to vote in all booths, not just the CLOSEST booth in their electorate.
Very, very strange that Howard didn't clean this up when he controlled both houses.
While he was at it, Howard should have introduced ID and proof of voting (such as a dye on the index finger, which is common throughout even the 3rd world).
And where are the computers? Even a stupid petrol discount docket carries a unique barcode - and here we are struggling with blunt 19th century pencils, while being told it's "too hard".
The absurdity of lax voting (try opening a bank account without umpteen versions of ID) benefits a crooked voting system.
I have no doubt the recently deceased will receive postal vote forms from you-know-which-party before the election.
Howard's inaction on the voting system will forever stain his legacy.
Mon 11 Feb 13 (05:38pm)
I was once at a Customers factory in Sydney and heard the union rep urging his workers to "vote early and vote often" in the following weekend's Federal election.
Is there any doubt that the ALP and unions support voter fraud?
Mon 11 Feb 13 (05:54pm)
Trouble is, if you get your name crossed off at more than one location, someone will be along with a please explain.
Tue 12 Feb 13 (08:40am)
So what if an ALP type votes at ten different polling stations ... and provides his/her photo ID at each one. And signs something or other ten times. And says hello to various officials who recognize him at every station. And drives away in a car registered in his/her name after each vote.
Wouldn't the ALP have complete confidence that this voter was never at any of the stations; that someone else who looked exactly the same as him or her had used the ID; that somebody else had signed his or her signature, and that some imposter had hoodwinked all those mates who thought they'd seen him; and that the car was pinched and then returned along with all all the documents etc to exactly where they "belonged"?
And then wouldn't the ALP ensure that any investigation into any of this was dragged out for at least three years? And then pay hundreds of thousands so that lawyers could abuse the investigators if they ever got so far as to lay a charge?
There's a surprise!

I would start with the PMO employees list Kevin Rudd provided to the AFP, but they can leave out Tony Hodges, he quit after Australia Day in 2012
Of course it depends on how many departments the request has to go through, whether the recipient is on flexi time or not, if a cost analysis has been done on the cost of the investigation and what part Tony Abbott played in this.
Mon 11 Feb 13 (03:37pm)
The department's chief information officer Eija Seittenranta told the committee it would be a breach of Commonwealth law if a public servant was responsible for the postings.
Gee, why would public servants want to support a pro-Statist government?
Mon 11 Feb 13 (03:38pm)
I bet it is the same person who used poor Craig Thomson's driver licence & credit cards.
Mon 11 Feb 13 (03:38pm)
The perpetrator should have known that this would be uncovered. Given Labor's current poll ratings a tidal wave of support as high as nine public endorsements was bound to attract attention.
Mon 11 Feb 13 (03:41pm)
So what! We've been pretending to be a government for 5 years.
Mon 11 Feb 13 (03:48pm)
They'll never work out who sent it- Labor is full of 'slipshod Sybils'
Mon 11 Feb 13 (03:50pm)
And how many tie-ins with Getup will there be?
Mon 11 Feb 13 (03:55pm)
No that's not possible, this is nothing more than an hysterical inaccuracy masquerading as a lie. Labor people would never do such things!
Mon 11 Feb 13 (04:00pm)
Shades of Tony Hodges again. McTernan will claim he wasn't behind it, there'll be a fall guy, who will be given a plum job somewhere to hide him or her.
Mon 11 Feb 13 (04:00pm)
Guys, if you're going to have a multiple personality disorder, can you please have the decency to do it in your own coin? I've been taxed enough to the gills to be shouldering your brain malfunction as well.
Mon 11 Feb 13 (04:19pm)
I can see a Comcare claim coming out of this for "multiple personality disorder" caused by harsh working conditions. A pension for life for this unfortunate public servant is coming his/her way.
Mon 11 Feb 13 (04:24pm)
Mon 11 Feb 13 (08:43pm)
That would be nine ways, therefore nine pensions. Who said schizophrenia was all bad
… a computer user in Parliament House had pretended to be at least nine different people while making pro-Labor comments online.
I'm shocked - shocked, I tells ya!
Mon 11 Feb 13 (05:02pm)
Gee - in the highly marginal ALP seat of Corangamite! Where would you start looking?
Mon 11 Feb 13 (05:32pm)
Now this is interesting in the last paragraph of the linked article .....
Department boss Carol Mills told the hearing that if a public servant was found responsible it would be dealt with as a code of conduct issue.
However, if it was the staffer of a member or senator "we would have to look at that separately".
Why the difference?
They are all paid public servants .... paid by us. MPs or Senators staffers are there to help with the normal business of Government, such as answering constituents queries and complaints. They are not pseudo campaign officials and should be fired if they behave as such.
Mon 11 Feb 13 (05:37pm)
Where to start the search I wonder?
Colac is in the seat of Corangamite held by the ALP on a margin of 2/5 of five eights of not much.
Mon 11 Feb 13 (05:41pm)
Ron K said - Trouble is, if you get your name crossed off at more than one location, someone will be along with a please explain.
Quite likely - but they can't prove if and where you may or may not have placed multiple voting papers - and of course they can't retrieve them. They are in the system.
I'm probably one of many who has heard that this has not only happened but been boasted about.

Seth Allen Michael Gladhill, 24, of Hagerstown was sentenced to 15 years in state prison Monday by a Washington County Circuit Court judge. He pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree burglary.
Gladhill reportedly burglarized numerous homes between June and October 2012, including two relatives' homes and the home of retired judge W. Kennedy Boone III, where jewelry valued between $50,000 and $75,000 was missing.
Police arrested Gladhill at the Motel 6 on Massey Boulevard in October 2012, where several pieces of jewelry later deemed to belong to the Boones were found.
Gladhill also was ordered to pay more than $47,000 in restitution to the victims.

The Marietta College Pioneers have played most of their games this spring in less than desirable weather conditions with the temperatures staying well below normal.
Wednesday, the Etta Express finally got a break in the weather as temperatures rose into the low 80s and responded in a big way as they swept a doubleheader from the Muskingum University Fighting Muskies 7-1 and 21-0 at Don Schaly Stadium.
The Pioneers pounded out 28 basehits in the doubleheader, half of them going for extra bases, and got outstanding pitching from starters' Jason Byers and Mike Mulvey to claim there sixth and seventh Ohio Athletic Conference victories of the season.
"We didn't put a lot of runs on the board in the first game but we hit a lot of balls well," said Pioneer head coach Brian Brewer. "In the second game, we just knocked the ball all over the yard, which is good to see."
Byers started the opener for Marietta College and the Pioneer left-hander quieted the Muskies on just three hits and one run in going the distance in the seven inning contest.
Marietta got the scoring started with a pair of runs in the second inning.

Next Game: Marietta College at Heidelberg Saturday.
Tim McCoy got things going by drawing a walk from Muskingum starting pitcher Colten Maxwell and promptly stole second.
Third baseman Bryan Gregorich also walked and was forced out at second on a groundball to second base by Christian Demko as McCoy advanced to third.
Demko and McCoy then pulled off a double steal with help of a throwing error by the Muskies, and Jordan Grilliot plated the second run of the inning with an RBI single.
The Pioneers tacked on a pair of runs in the last of the third on RBI hits by catcher Alex Toth and designated hitter Josh Ungerbuehler.
The Etta Express gave Byers even more breathing room with a three-run fifth inning with the big hit being an RBI triple from Toth.
Byers retired Muskingum in order in three of his seven innings in the opener including the final frame to notch his third victory of the season in four decisions.
The Pios wasted little time taking control of the night cap as they scored 10 times in the first three innings off of Muskingum starting pitcher and Zanesville native Austin Miller.
Ungerbuehler's two-run triple keyed the a four-run first inning before the Pioneers played long ball in the second.
Grilliot led off the second with his first home run of the season to right field and two-outs later Toth drilled a shot over the left field fence for his first round tripper of the season to make it 6-0.
Marietta made it a 10-0 game in the fourth when Grilliot was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and center fielder Aaron Hopper cleared the bases with a three-run triple to straight away center field.
Grilliot was at it again in the last of the fifth when the Pioneer left fielder drove his second home run of the game over the right center field fence to make it 11-0.
"Coach Brewer is always preaching to us to become more aggressive when we get a lead," said Grilliot, who collected five hits and drove in four runs in the twin bill.
"I was looking for something early in the count to drive and fortunately the pitches were right in the zone I was looking for."
Yet another RBI single by Toth made it a 12-run lead and Gregorich blew things wide open with a three-run triple to increase the lead to 15-0.
While the offense was clicking on all cylinders, Mulvey was breezing through the Muskie lineup, allowing just four hits over seven strong innings of work.
Brewer was quite pleased with the effort on the mound by both Byers and Mulvey.
"That's what we expect our one and two pitchers to do. They fulfilled their responsibility," said Brewer, the 2012 NCAA Division III coach of the year. "It's all about throwing strikes. If we throw strikes we are going to catch the ball and hopefully score enough runs to win."
Mulvey improved to 5-2 with the win with relief from Jordan Carithers and Anthony Knittel, while Miller fell to 0-4 with the loss.
The Pioneers improved to 17-6 on the season and 7-1 in the OAC, while the Muskies slipped to 4-17 overall and 3-4 in conference play.
12 different Pioneer hitters collected at least one hit in game two...Grilliot's two-homer game was the second of his Pioneer career as he also connected twice on April 25th of last year at Wooster...The Pioneers came into the Wednesday's action with a grand total of three home runs and six triples as a team and then collected three homers and seven triples in the double header...The four triples hit by Marietta College in game two was one short of the team record of five....
Miller no-hit the Marietta Tigers on May 3 of last year at Don Schaly Stadium as a member of the Zanesville Blue Devils...The Pioneers travel to Heidelberg Saturday for yet another OAC twinbill.

When a formula refers back to its own cell, either directly or indirectly, it creates a circular reference. A circular reference can have a significant impact on performance because it can iterate indefinitely. Iteration is the repeated recalculation of a worksheet until a specific numeric condition is met. By default, iterative calculations are turned off in Microsoft Office Excel. You can handle a circular reference by doing one of the following: remove the circular reference or enable iterative calculations.
What do you want to do?
Locate and remove a circular reference
If an error message about creating a circular reference appears while editing a formula, then you probably have created an unintended circular reference. In this case, you can locate and remove the incorrect reference.
On the Formulas tab, in the Formula Auditing group, click the arrow on the Error Checking in-group button, point to Circular References, and then click the first cell listed in the submenu.
Tip: You can move between cells in a circular reference by double-clicking the tracer arrows.
Review the formula in the cell. If you cannot determine whether the cell is the cause of the circular reference, click the next cell in the Circular References submenu.
Note: The status bar displays the word "Circular References" followed by a reference to one of the cells contained in the circular reference.
Continue to review and correct the circular reference until the status bar no longer displays the word "Circular References."
Make a circular reference work by changing the number of times that Excel iterates formulas
If you want to keep the circular reference, you can enable iterative calculations but you must determine how many times the formula should recalculate. When you turn on iterative calculations without changing the values for maximum iterations or maximum change, Office Excel stops calculating after 100 iterations or after all values in the circular reference change by less than 0.001 between iterations, whichever comes first. However, you can control the maximum number of iterations and the amount of acceptable change.
Click the Microsoft Office Button , click Excel Options, and then click the Formulas category.
In the Calculation options section, select the Enable iterative calculation check box.
To set the maximum number of times that Office Excel will recalculate, type the number of iterations in the Maximum Iterations box. The higher the number of iterations, the more time that Excel needs to calculate a worksheet.
To set the maximum amount of change you will accept between calculation results, type the amount in the Maximum Change box. The smaller the number, the more accurate the result and the more time that Excel needs to calculate a worksheet.

Visual Basic.NET 2008 > Getting Started with VB.NET
Building a Console Application in Visual Basic 2008
Apart from Windows applications, you can use Visual Studio 2008 to build applications that run in a command prompt window. The command prompt window isn't really a DOS window, even though it looks like one. It's a text window, and the only way to interact with an application is to enter lines of text and read the output generated by the application, which is displayed in this text window, one line at a time. This type of application is called a console application, and I'm going to demonstrate console applications with a single example. We will not return to this type of application later in the tutorial because it's not what you're supposed to do as a Windows developer.
The console application you'll build in this section, ConsoleApplication1, prompts the user to enter the name of her favorite language. It then prints the appropriate message on a new line, as shown in Figure 1.16.
Start a new project. In the New Project dialog box, select the template Console Application. You can also change its default name from ConsoleApplication1 to a more descriptive name. For this example, don't change the application's name. A console application doesn't have a user interface, so the first thing you'll see is the code editor's window with the following statements:
Unlike a Windows application, which is a class, a console application is a module. Main() is the name of a subroutine that's executed automatically when you run a console application. The code you want to execute must be placed between the statements Sub Main() and End Sub. Insert the statements shown in Listing 1.3 in the application's Main() subroutine.
Listing 1.3: Console Application
This code is quite similar to the code of the equivalent Windows applications we developed earlier, except that it uses the Console.WriteLine statement to send its output to the command prompt window instead of a message box.
A console application doesn't react to events because it has no visible interface. However, it's easy to add some basic elements of the Windows interface to a console application. If you change the Console.WriteLine method call into the MsgBox() function, the message will be displayed in a message box.
The reason to build a console application is to test a specific feature of the language without having to build a user interface. Many of the examples in the documentation are console applications; they demonstrate the topic at hand and nothing more. If you want to test the DateDiff() function, for example, you can create a new console application and enter the lines of Listing 1.4 in its Main() subroutine.
Listing 1.4: Testing the DateDiff() Function with a Console Application
The last two lines will be the same in every console application you write. Without them, the command prompt window will close as soon as the End Sub statement is reached, and you won't have a chance to see the result. The Console.ReadLine method waits until the user presses the Enter key.
Console applications are convenient for testing short code segments, but Windows programming is synonymous with designing graphical user interfaces, so you won't find any more console applications in this tutorial.

While down on St. Thomas and St. Croix, I had the pleasure of meeting lots of locals who were gracious enough to let me snap their pictures. From the volunteer who helped out at the St. Thomas event to men selling coconuts on the side of the road to a little naturalista enjoying the event with her mom to a school teacher, the images and stories I collected have the true spirit of the Caribbean and I put some of my favorite pictures in a gallery to share with you all.
Some of these people I was able to interview and will be sharing their videos here and on my YouTube page soon!
