The history of climate change is a storied one, and those not already in the know can very easily be intimidated if they try to get a look at how it all falls together. Because climate change has become a politically-charged issue and a major matter of policy, trying to find a historical source is more than a little tricky. However, understanding the history behind climate change isn't too difficult when it's broken down to the basics, and this means going back a good long time on the historical record.
The origin of climate change study actually stretches back a lot farther than people think. Most young people today have parents that remember the discussions of climate change in the 1970s, which are often used for political leverage today, but this isn't actually where climate change originated as a topic of study. Climate change has been on the radar of inquisitive academics for centuries.
Climate change study can be most-cleanly linked to originating studies in the late 1700s. In the late 1770s, a Swiss scientist suggested that the atmosphere operated like a greenhouse. While this is commonly-accepted today, it was revolutionary at the time, and the ramifications weren't well-understood. Greenhouses operate by using gases to trap thermal energy from the sun. They take in more heat than they radiate and thus stay warmer even in the winter months. As we grew more aware of how our planet's ecology worked, we realized that this was a necessary component of life on the planet.
In the 1800s, this hypothesis was confirmed by John Tyndall, a British scientist. In 1894, just before the turn of the century, a chemist from Switzerland named Svante Arrhenius elaborated on the effects of carbon dioxide on the "greenhouse effect", something you'll probably remember from modern policy discourse. Carbon dioxide is one of the key acting gases in the function of the atmosphere as a greenhouse, alongside nitrogen.
Then, in the 1950s, actual progress was made in analyzing the climate history of the world. In the 50s we developed the ability to properly gauge the information that could be gotten from analyzing ice cores from the frozen north. Ice cores are deep bores of ancient ice, and their layers can be used to make judgments about the state of the climate at the time each layer was frozen. It's similar in this way to geology, where information can be determined from the different layers.
These made the biggest splashes in terms of scientific progress through history. Then, in the 1970s, the subject came forward as a matter of policy debate. This is when the now-infamous "global cooling" scare was drawn up, and ultimately exemplified all of the things that can go wrong in a policy debate about a scientific matter.
Now, of course, climate change is an area of research and open debate. For the most part, there is a division between the policy aspects and the scientific aspects. The former are argued about, while the latter are generally-accepted within the community of academic professionals. Many are working actively to chronicle the goings-on, such as Daniel Yergin, a Pulitzer-award winner who has recently authored "The Quest: Energy, Security, and the Remaking of the Modern World", which is incidentally excellent reading if you want a more in-depth look. While climate change history can be intimidating from square one, a few of the right sources will send you on your way to understanding it.

Gnoblins FAQ
Gnoblins FAQ
Here the first draft of the FAQ for Gnoblins:
Is it a RTS game, or RPG or dungeon cralwer , shooter ?
In its heart it is a dungeon crawler in 3d, a roguelike, with RPG elements. But there are some tweaks.
The most important one is, that you are not alone. You can build up a small community of gnoblins,
which introduces elements of a RTS game. And no, it is not a shooter.
So, you are running around with an army of gnoblins ?
No, the gnoblins live in your home dungeon. They work for you, but the want payment and they demand
some level of comfort. The comfort level is represented by the reputation of your dungeon.
So, no gnoblins will follow you, you are running around in the dungeons alone ?
You can take a single gnoblin with you as companion.
Do you only play in a single dungeon ? How is the game structured ?
You play only in dungeons, but there are several of them. Each dungeon consists of several levels
and a certain setting.
Why do I need this gnoblins ?
There's no town, there're no merchants. The gnoblins are the only one who are willing to help you.
The most important aspect is the crafting. You find equipment, but with the help of the gnoblins you
will be able to craft better equipment, potions etc.
Can I only build caves in my home dungeon ?
No, later in the game you will have the option to change the appearance of your dungeon, e.g. in a more
castle like setting.
Are gnoblin just an other word for goblin ?
No, gnoblin describes a fanatsy race of its own. There are goblins in the game too.
Well, what are gnoblins then ?
Gnoblins are a mix between gnomes and goblins. They are not as aggressive and dumb as goblins, nor are the as skilled and intelligent as gnomes.
What is perma-death ?
Perma-death is a game feature, that when your character dies, you will no longer be able to continue playing this character.
This is tightly coupled with the save game. The game automatically saves the game state, but you don't have the option
to save/load mulitple states of the game.
So, one unlucky hit by a monster and it is game over ?
Not at once. The game features several difficulty levels. In most modes you will have several lives. If you die, you will
respawn until you run out of lives. In easy mode your lives will be reseted at certain stages of the game, in hard mode
you will have a set number of lifes for the complete game and in rogue-like mode you will have only a single life.
Do you really have perma-death in, and that in the year 2013, why ?
Yes, once your character finally dies, it is game over. The reason is quite simple, you design and play a game
with perma-death in a really different way as a game without this feature.
What art style is it ?
It is a NPR style. NPR stands for non-photorealistic rendering. It is not a cell-shader or toon shader, but it uses outlines
and handpainted textures. The detail level of textures,characters and environemnt is low to support this style.
Is this placeholder art ?
Emm... no, sorry. The qualtiy of the art might improve over time, but expect that the art style will not change dramatically.
The art style is ok, but the outlines give it such a toon look, can you please remove them ?
You can turn them off in the options.
What is the current state of the game ?
The game is in the alpha stage. An demo of the game will be/is released in Februrary 2013.
What is the difference between alpha and beta stage ?
A game in alpha stage is not feature complete, content is missing, have more bugs, the art is not as polished as it should be etc.
A game in beta stage should be feature complete, but you still need to test and tweak the content and gameplay.
What is your target price tag ?
In is not decided at the moment, but I think that the final game will most likely settles down in the teens.
What about early access ?
We evaluate the possiblitly to release it as alpha funding download on desura. You can then get the game and ongoing updates
for a lower price tag.
Will there be a kickstarter campaign ?
Kickstarter is currently not planned.
Final thought
Are these really frequently asked questions or have you invented them all ?
Not all, but most :-)

One thing that surprised them were the amount of miles on it... 18 right off the truck. Hoping this means it was driven around and the contaminated fluid has been fixed.
Oh, yeah, it's dirrrrrty. Told them not to wash it and don't take the plastic off :-) I wanna unwrap this present!
Re: Dealer called, Jeep is finally in!
Congrats, and very jealous. Lol.

Re: Dealer called, Jeep is finally in!
Congrats, you got the right color. Good call not letting them wash and swirl it up. :thumbsup:
Re: Dealer called, Jeep is finally in! [Updated: Initial Review]
I've managed to rack up 1,111 miles within a week and two days.
I purchased my jeep from Jon @ Performance Chrysler Jeep Dodge in Lincoln, NE. The purchase process blew me away. It was the most hassle-free experience I've ever had purchasing a vehicle. Well, aside from the foooreevvverrr wait for it to get built and delivered. He even informed me about the price protection about 2 hours before it was made public by Milous. I'd have to look up the paperwork for the exact number, but I was at $58k with every option except rear DVD (chose pano roof instead).
On a whim, a buddy and I decided to fly out to NE and drive it back. What better way to learn about a new ride than to spend 12 hours in it, right? :-)
I'm 5'9" and my buddy is well over 6'. He had many great things to say about the ergonomics and the comfort. While sitting in any seat for 12 hours would get old, neither of us could really complain about the overall comfort of these seats.
Had a full tank of gas from the dealer which landed us halfway home in Walcott, IA, home of the World's Largest Truck stop! That place is huge. Ended up going over 760 miles on two tanks of gas… coming out to about 380 miles per tank, although we didn't drive until empty, which is a good thing because there's gas stations out there that don't have premium!
In the 12 hours, the SRT audio was definitely tested -pretty darn good! I'm quite surprised how good the Sirius/XM sounds. My previous car has XM and sounded flat and more like AM radio. We made it from Cincinnati, Ohio to Lincoln, Nebraska and back in 22 hours.
There is definitely the drone from the MDS. For me I think it's livable, especially when you hear the normal open exhaust note. I'm pretty happy with it and don't think I'll change the exhaust at all.
Two words. Brake Dust.
In the days since, I'm still in "new car love". As someone else mentioned, I tend to get buyer's remorse on auto purchases, but not with this ride. Friday night the wife and I met some of my co-workers out at Dave & Buster's. They all wanted to see it and take a ride. Including me, there were 5 passengers. Got on an empty drive next to the parking lot and jokingly told them to hold on. Got a few "whatever, just go". Floored it for 'em and let's just say there were a few expletives used, smiles and some shock. They also thought the Pano roof was slick and surprised to find the rear heated seats and the 110v outlet.
I've tried the Selec-Track and on a slightly bumpy road, there's a big difference between "Auto" and "Track". Auto feels like a "normal" truck and Track feels like the tires are metal, not rubber. Unfortunately I haven't done much more testing with that yet. I'm quite surprised how solid this beast feels -especially around turns. It's so glued to the asphalt it's amazing. I'm looking forward to seeing how it handles in snow.
I did notice some "tracking" of the tires on some of the grooved sections of the highway around here. Not sure how you'd prevent that with rubber this wide.
I haven't used the paddles too much yet, but initial reaction is that down-shifting provides less drag than I thought it would and doesn't slow the vehicle down a whole lot. My previous car I could come down an off-ramp and go from 60 to 15-20mph with just down-shifting… course, maybe that's why I had to have the tranny replaced at 30k miles. I will definitely try the paddles out more.
I plan on doing tint hopefully this week. Can't decide if ceramic is worth the extra $ or not. I want something with great heat reflectivity and will never turn purple.
Maybe down the road I'll take care of some of the chrome and some de-badging. Would like to get a nice wash and a sealant and wax on it before we get some snow and road salt everywhere.
The combination of the LEDs, HIDs and fogs are quite distinctive and causes a fair share of "What is that???"… I love it! Haven't had anyone try to test their fate against it yet, but I'm sure it will happen in due time. I mean come on, it's just a big, slow SUV, right? ;-)

ReFo: Colts @ Jets, Week 6
Shonn Greene ran wild as the Jets teased turning the corner. John Breitenbach examines the key performers.
ReFo: Colts @ Jets, Week 6
It was always going to be difficult for the Colts, coming off an emotional comeback win against the Packers, to travel to New York and defeat even a banged up Jets team. There were times, especially early in the game, where Indianapolis' offense looked like it could score but the inconsistency of Andrew Luck and an inability to establish the running game crippled them. The red zone offense was poor and the defense couldn't stop a rejuvenated Shonne Greene.
Speaking of the Jets' offense, Greene, along with an offensive line that finally appears to be gelling, overpowered a weak Indianapolis front on their way to a huge rushing game. Mark Sanchez did enough (and no more) to move the ball and, combined with the trickery of Tim Tebow on special teams, the Jets had possibly their most complete game of the season.
Let's take a look at some of the key performances.
Indianapolis – Three Performances of Note
Tackles Triumph
The Colts' offensive line hasn't been good in a while, but they've made a few nice moves recently to retool the unit. It all starts with first round pick LT Anthony Castonzo (+3.3) who bounced back from a terrible game against the Packers to have one of his best games as a pro. He didn't have the toughest test against a Jets team that lacks pass rushers, but it's still impressive that he conceded just a hit and hurry in 54 drop-backs. The only mistakes he made were against Aaron Maybin when he over-extended and allowed the nickel rusher to dip back inside, but that didn't ruin a good day in pass protection. It was also a positive day for Castonzo in the run game, where he graded positively aside from a play in the second quarter where Muhammad Wilkerson was able to beat him on a tackle for short gain.
On the other side, right tackle Winston Justice always proved a good pass protector during his Eagles days and it looks like he's brought that ability to Indy. His injury at the end of the half was another blow to a unit that can't seem to stay healthy. Justice missed seven plays at the end of the game but was perfect in the 47 snaps he did play, gaining a +3.2 grade. If, and it's a big if, he can find a way to improve his run blocking (-0.4) he could become one of the better tackles in the league. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem likely and the tackle for short gain he gave up to David Harris with 8:54 to go in the second quarter is a good example of that.
Lack of True Nose Tackle Hurting Colts
Antonio Johnson (-3.1) is not an ideal starter, and a 3-4 team without a quality nose tackle is always likely to struggle when the opposition doesn't run many three receiver sets. He hardly made an impact in his 35 run snaps, and recorded just two tackles and the solitary stop. Even that play was basically gifted to him by D'Brickashaw Ferguson who fell while attempting to block him and left an easy tackle. Otherwise it was a clinic from Nick Mangold, who controlled him with ease consistently and to either side. Matt Slauson also got in on the act and it was their dominance that helped spring Greene's career game. It's interesting the Colts are reluctant to use Antonio Dixon much on the nose, considering some of the success he had in Philadelphia against the run. With just eight snaps we didn't get to see enough of what he could be like there, but he did make two tackles around the line of scrimmage (one of which was an assist) which suggests he could have the ability to do the job.
Hughes Steps Up in Mathis' Absence
With Robert Mathis out and Dwight Freeney hobbled, a lot of pressure fell on Jerry Hughes' (+2.2) shoulders. He responded to that pressure in a very positive manner to play well both against the run and as a pass rusher. With seven tackles, six of which were stops, Hughes proved very active against the run. He made four tackles around the line of scrimmage, which included a very impressive tackle for a loss with 12.15 to play in the second quarter when he rocked Dustin Keller backward and then was able to get off his block to make the tackle.
Hughes was the only Colt pass rusher to register multiple pressures. In just 15 rushes he accumulated a sack, hit and two hurries, which means he's now registered at least a pair of pressures in every game this season. Despite limited opportunity, Hughes now has 14 overall pressures on the season, which gives him a pass rushing productivity of 16.0. That mark leaves him second of all 3-4 outside linebackers, and goes some way to disproving the suggestion he's a bust. The only real negative was his eagerness to get involved sometimes saw him lose backside contain, which gave the Jets back more space to work with than Colts fans wanted to see.
New York – Three Performances of Note
Greene Galore
We first glimpsed Greene's (+3.7) ability in the 2009 playoffs, but he hasn't really put it all together since then. The challenge will be to carry this performance into the rest of a season where, aside from Sunday, he's graded negatively in every game. The numbers really tell the whole story as Greene accumulated 82 yards after contact and an impressive eight forced missed tackles. To put that into context, in the previous five games combined he's forced just one missed tackle (Week 1) and amassed 141 yards after contact. His most impressive play was undoubtedly his touchdown run late in the third quarter where he used a magical spin move to escape Antoine Bethea before cutting inside the other Colts' safety, Tom Zbikowski, and left him also grasping at air. In fact, Greene had a habit of making the safety pairing look silly as Zbikowski got bowled into the end zone on another of his TD rumbles.
Wilkerson Continues to Shine
The Jets' best player, with Darrelle Revis sidelined, may well be five technique Muhammad Wilkerson (+2.8). The Temple product has simply been outstanding this season. and Rex Ryan's penchant for finding talented defensive lineman is clear to see. Wilkerson's run defense against the Colts was especially impressive as he proved too much to handle for the makeshift interior. He made four tackles after short gains against Castonzo, Hills and McGlynn respectively. Wilkerson's most impressive play came with 11.31 to go in the third quarter as he got inside McGlynn and chopped down Vick Ballard after a gain of just two. He ended with seven stops on just 14 run defense snaps, which is simply a marvel.
It wasn't as positive a performance for Wilkerson as a pass rusher where he generated just a sack, hurry and batted pass. The sack wasn't an especially good rush as Luck had tons of time in the pocket but Wilkerson was able to strip the ball out, which ended the game.
Cromartie Talks the Talk but Can't Walk the Walk
It's all very well for Antonio Cromartie (-3.1) to say he's the best corner in the league now Revis is out, but that definitely didn't appear to be the case against the Colts. He was regularly beaten by both Reggie Wayne and Donnie Avery, although the numbers tell a misleading story. On the face of it he only gave up three of seven targets for 32 yards with a pick, but he was fortunate on a number of occasions. He benefited from a Wayne drop in the second quarter and also would have given up a big gain and a touchdown but for Luck horribly overthrowing an open receiver at the start of the fourth quarter. There was also a significant issue with penalties. He gave up three (two pass interferences and an illegal contact), and it's worth mentioning that while his pick was an impressive play, it did come on a deflected pass. He's played well this year, but this won't be the game he uses to justify his claims.
Game Notes
– Samson Satele gave up as much combined pressure (four) as the rest of the team combined.
– Andrew Luck fared badly when facing pressure, going 0 of 10, with two picks and four sacks.
– The Jets' defense missed just a solitary tackle, while the Colts' missed 11
Game Ball
Shonn Greene claims the prize for some outstanding running that allowed New York's offense to dictate the tempo, control the clock and ultimately kill off the game.

BCC: UK economy growth at fastest since 2007
FXBAZOOKA.com - Great Britain's economy will grow at its fastest pace since 2007 this year, the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) said. BCC upgraded its 2014 UK GDP forecast from 3.1% to 3.2%. The 2015 forecast was also revised up from 2.7% to 2.8%. However, the body expects growth to slow in 2016 with economy growing by only 2.5%.
"Our forecast confirms that Britain has become one of the fastest-growing developed economies. We are leading, rather than following, other major economies when it comes to short-term growth," BCC says.
However, the assosiation warns: the economy is too reliant on consumer spending to accelerate GDP growth. The government has to support investment and exports.

Jeanie, it's a hassle to do all that but I would try and do it 3-4 times a day. Not being able to use your fingers is such a problem, oh well you know that yourself!
Update on the twins: Isa was gaining weight very fast but today they told my DS and DDIL she's retaining fluid also and on meds. Otherwise she's doing ok.
The plastic surgeon visited Bram twice, he (or she) cut open his arm because of the infection. No need of surgery yet, maybe later, they don't know. He's still on the ventilator. The day before yesterday they tried to get him off, he managed to breath on his own for about 1 hour but had to go back on the ventilator. They're trying with meds now to get him off because his lungs are already damaged from being so long on the ventilator
My DS told me one of the nurses said to him today she needed to speak to Grandma......... She wants to know where all the lovely fabrics are from as she has been looking here but can't find them.My DS told her about the flannel brigade

I tried to organise this in some sort of coherent manner and link to the best places to find all the possible fic so you have to do the least amount of searching. I hope you find it easy to navigate and please let me know if I can improve it!
Disclaimer: this is by NO MEANS a comprehensive list. I've barely scratched the surface of all the good stuff you can find on LJ and Portkey.

[In making this, I looked at my favourites on Portkey and I cannot, in good conscience, recommend any of those to human beings. WHAT WAS MY TASTE IN 2005? Oh, middle school. I am shamefaced.]

I feel initially he was kind and helpful, but more agressive as the case went on and actually does a lot of unneccary work costing client a lot of money. Also doens't listen to his clients wishes costing additional fees. Found out when too far along in case that he is known for "working for himself" versus his client. Throws christianity into the loop claiming his stands are on christianity, but opposite of what we are called to do as christians, sorry but I would never recommend Mr Schutz but want to actually make people beware.

Port Leyden man accused of choking girlfriend during dispute
There are 18 comments on the Watertown Daily Times story from Jan 3, 2013, titled Port Leyden man accused of choking girlfriend during dispute. In it, Watertown Daily Times reports that:
Lewis County sheriff's deputies charged Brett Golden, 22, with criminal obstruction of breathing or blood circulation, fourth-degree criminal mischief, endangering the welfare of a child and two counts of second-degree harassment.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at Watertown Daily Times.

I can't believe he made it that long..Report fails to mention his girlfriend was on bath salts and let their daughter (1) smash her nose up and have to have stitches put in her nose while she was (babysitting) while daddy worked.hmmmm funny the whole story is not told..Ask PL AMBULANCE. They picked the poor little one up with a messed up gash in her face.where was daddy??? work!!!!
#2 Jan 15, 2013
What a clumsy opportunist you are; a real manipulator without any attempt to be clandestine at all !
You take a police report about a guy beating up his girlfriend and spin it so you can attack the girl.
Who would believe anything from a person that would spin an article about a WOMAN BEATER in a way that you did?
Are all the men from PL all bad?? Jeez.
#3 Jan 15, 2013
....nope just the ones with drug addict girlfriends.Baby born addicted to T.H.C.She should have gotten choked then.Her OWN Mother stepped in on that one and turned her in.Hospital can prove that one..
#4 Jan 16, 2013
1. The definition of addiction has to be modified to use it in the phrase "THC addiction". As an analogy, comparing Tobacco addiction and THC addiction is like comparing Grapefruit to Maple seeds.
2. The Hospital can't prove anything of the sort. Any incidence concerning a patient is covered under the HIPPA privacy rule.
3. If this supposed child abuse did occur, why wasn't it in the paper ? Child abuse is reported as readily as woman beating. I believe your interpretation of what happened is misleading.
4. The male beat this woman and all you can do is villainize the victim! Villainizing a victim to excuse the actual perpetrator is not new, but at some point we, as a society, need to put an end to it. It is the sleaziest of defenses, to say the least.
#5 Jan 16, 2013
I see you can cut copy and paste.lmfao
#6 Jan 17, 2013
This article is about a WOMAN BEING BEATEN and you side-step the crime by a feeble attempt to discredit ?
Well, you probably googled my sentiments to discover from where they originated (?). I suppose I should be flattered. What difference does it make from where the statement, "Villainizing a victim to excuse the actual perpetrator is not new, but at some point we, as a society, need to put an end to it". I felt I had to include that statement to emphasize the weak and sleazy defense being offered for the woman beater.(I could tell my original point was lost on the previous poster, too.)
In order for a man to lay a hand on a woman out of anger proves he is not a man and no longer considers himself to be a man. He has become an emotional shell, totally unable to handle the situation in which he he put himself. He needs help, not from people trying to make excuses for him but from people that care and can point him in a direction to get that help ...
Ignoring a problem never helps.
The positive way forward is to learn by past mistakes.
There's no shame in learning and bettering one's self !
#7 Jan 17, 2013
What do you tell a girlfriend with two black eyes? Nothing, you already told her twice!
#8 Jan 17, 2013
I'll never understand why anyone being abused goes back to the abuser! Obviously she needs help, too!
It was suggested to me to read a book called, "Women that Love too Much", by Robin Norwood. That was ages ago when I couldn't let go of a man that was "emotionally unavailable". You know, the kind that would dangle the carrot of hope in front of you and give you glimmers of a fantastic relationship only to fall short at the most (or least!) opportune times. It helped me out tremendously! And I never got into that situation again.
Some years later my sister was suggested to read it (not by me but --- by a professional) and she didn't see herself within the pages AT ALL. She still lives with the selfish womanizing drunk. We grew up in the same family, under the same roof, but still handle our problems very differently. Very interesting. Proves everyone is their own person.
Please get this book, read it and see if it'll help your friend out. It's a great book to pass around!
Good Luck. I hope everything works out.

text: Hello, I am new to this forum. I have owned a GM Sonoma Truck and a Chevy Tahoe in the past. Both vehicles were excellent! I would not hesitate to recommend either. However, I prefer the Tahoe. I absolutely loved my Tahoe and I am so sorry I got rid of it. I sold my BMW 740 IL for that Tahoe. Anyway, it's sadly missed. I will get one again someday. I went to the Tampa Bay car show last weekend. As far as SUVs go and nothing beats the Tahoe and the price. I want mine in white! Thanks, Cheryl Veon

Weird puckering
I thought this was going to be my go to summer dress. Sadly when I tried it on the puckering under the waist made me look like I had grown a weird fat roll above my butt. So not cute. So back it went.

I am so glad I found this for under all my sheer shirts. I was so sick of camisoles that gave you a uni-boob! And also sick of uncomfortable shape wear. This is comfy and not skin tight! I love it. I am a 34B and the small fit perfect.

text: Hi all, just wanted to say a quick hello. Just bought the above vehicle but sadly suffering some performance problems. Seems like a great site. And for those of you who can't afford the dealers £200+ price for an oil and filter change then check out National tyres. They are doing it for £35 or a 10% discount if you do it online. It says its only upto 7 litres (3.0d's are over 8l) but do it online as you input your reg no. for them to determine your vehicle and oil type. Then go along with no cash as i did and they don't even argue as you tell them that their site has invoiced you for £30.60 for that particular make/model and reg.no. The oil is fully synthetic Castrol Edge as they use in the Bmw dealerships. Try just buying the oil for that!! Impossible. Even the staff at National tyres dont know how they do it!

Nearing the end of fourth combat tour, a Marine from Waldwick is killed in Afghanistan
Marine Staff Sgt. Joseph D'Augustine of Waldwick was due to come home from Afghanistan in 15 days. His sister Nicole was getting married and had scheduled the wedding for May so he could be there, his family said.
"The wedding was planned for when he came home," said another sister, Michele Kulesa of Mahwah.
But on Tuesday, the war dealt the family a devastating blow. D'Augustine, 29, who was assigned to an explosive ordnance disposal unit, was dead. They were told he had been killed in the Sangin district of Helmand province, a fierce battleground where 19,000 Marines are deployed.
The family said D'Augustine was killed this week. The Defense Department had not announced the death or released any details as of Wednesday night.
"We are still in shock," Kulesa said.
D'Augustine had already served two tours in Iraq and was on his second tour in Afghanistan, his family said.
"Every time he left, we would hold our breath," Kulesa said.
Afghanistan was rough duty. "He said it was really bad over there," said Kulesa.
On his last tour, D'Augustine didn't have much time for phone calls. He let his family know how he was doing with emails, Kulesa said.
"He always promised us he knew what he was doing," Kulesa said. "He was so confident; it made us really feel good. He fought for us. He fought for our country."
The family plans to travel to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware Thursday to bring his body home.
"He loved the Marines," Kulesa said "We are very proud of him. He was the best brother and son, and uncle."
D'Augustine beams in a family photograph, a fresh-faced Marine with a winning bright smile, a chest full of medals and a Leatherneck haircut.
He was so proud of the corps that he often told others about it, especially youngsters back home.
"He wrote my sons' elementary classes letters," Kulesa said. "They all sent him cards. My children are very proud of their uncle; he's their hero."
D'Augustine graduated in 2001 from Waldwick High School, where he wrestled and distinguished himself as an offensive and defensive player in football, versatility that helped him earn honorable mention on The Record's 2000 All-Bergen County defensive team.
"He was a very good athlete," said Jim Dreschsel, who coached D'Augustine in football and wrestling. "He had good instincts as a linebacker."
Dreschsel and D'Augustine's father, Anthony, who retired as a lieutenant in the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office, teamed up years ago to start a wrestling youth program in Waldwick. "His father was very close to Joe, and he helped me run the program," Dreschsel said. "Joe would demonstrate some wrestling moves."
Dreschsel said he saw positive changes in his former pupil after he graduated from Marine boot camp.
"He was very sharp, dignified," Dreschsel said. "The Marines really shaped him into an outstanding individual. He was definitely proud and had a glow about him being in the service."
D'Augustine often returned to his old high school on what Dreschsel called "recruiting" visits to talk to students about his Marine experience.
"He loved life," said Waldwick Mayor Thomas Giordano, the manager at Mack Memorial Home in Secaucus, which is handling the arrangements along with the Becker Funeral Home in Westwood. "He was a very friendly, outgoing man who had tons of friends. He's going to be missed a lot."
This week, an entire town will welcome D'Augustine home. On Wednesday, flags in Waldwick were at half-staff. The family is planning a procession through town as it returns home from Delaware with D'Augustine's body, Giordano said. "We're like family in Waldwick," Giordano said. "We will pull together for him. We're waiting for him to come home."

Mexico's "decapitation" strategy of capturing or killing high-value drug cartel leaders with the help of U.S. advisers has a certain merit to it. After all, cartel bosses are seriously bad dudes who corrupt, bribe, kidnap and kill their way to power across swathes of territory across our border.
The problem, according to the chief of U.S. military forces in North America, is that the strategy isn't working.
"The decapitation strategy — they've been successful at that. Twenty-two out of the top 37 trafficking figures that the Mexican government has gone after have been taken off the board," Gen. Charles Jacoby, commander of U.S. Northern Command, said during testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday. Then, a caveat: "But it has not had an appreciable effect — an appreciable, positive effect."
In other words, the Mexican government has demonstrably (and frequently) succeeded in capturing and killing cartel leaders. But the impact of those strikes may be fleeting. Three weeks ago, Mexican federal police reportedly came close to even capturing Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman — boss of the Sinaloa Cartel and reportedly the world's most powerful drug lord — near the resort city of Cabo San Lucas less than a day before G20 foreign ministers gathered nearby. El Chapo, who has a security detail reported to include helicopters and up to 300 men, was likely lying low with minimal escort.
Meanwhile, Mexican authorities last week captured the boss of the Jalisco New Generation cartel, which has been battling the Zetas for control of the eastern port city of Veracruz. The army also killed a top Zeta capo in the border city of Nuevo Laredo earlier this month, though it's probably too early to draw broad lessons from each. The capo, named "El Guerra" or "The War," was only eight months on the job — and his predecessor was also killed by the army. Mexico's gangsters have also shown to be resilient at absorbing losses, and adept at corrupting both government officials and members of the police and military. They've also demonstrated the ability to bypass military checkpoints to move drugs and personnel.
To make matters worse, killing or capturing cartel leaders hasn't reduced the overall level of violence, or reversed the growing reach of the cartels throughout Mexico, Central America and the United States. Another problem: there's no shortage of replacements for cartel leaders once the top bosses are taken out. Even worse, decapitation can cause violence to increase, at least in the short-term.
According to Alejandro Hope, an analyst and former official at Mexico's CISEN (the country's equivalent of the CIA), decapitation of "criminal bands" can escalate violence "due to succession conflicts, the unraveling of some groups, or through power vacuums that are exploited by rivals groups." Hope supports decapitation strikes, but "accompanied by measures which will prevent destabilizing effects, and maximize effects which dissuade violence." Namely, targeting the most violent cartels first and capturing their leaders if at all possible.
Now, the U.S. isn't giving up on Mexico's war quite yet. "I agree that there are other things that need to be done," said Jacoby, who oversees the military's homeland defense efforts as head of U.S. Northern Command. He also referenced Mexico's latest offensive against the Zetas, aimed at reducing violence "across the northeast [region of Mexico], and I think that's the right strategy to follow."
The U.S. is also helping out by sending former Navy SEAL commander and counter-terrorism specialist Rear Adm. Colin Kilrain to Mexico City to serve as America's liaison in Mexico's war on drugs. Deploying Kilrain — a veteran of the U.S. wars in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq — could be a signal that from the U.S. perspective, what Mexico needs is someone "who has the special skills and experiences complementary to battling the cartels," Mexico military specialist Roderic Camp told the Houston Chronicle.
There's bad news in the Caribbean, though. The U.S.'s mainstay in drug interdiction efforts in the Caribbean, the Oliver Hazard Perry-class missile frigate, is being retired and replaced with the Littoral Combat Ship: the newly prized — and expensive — shoreline-warfare vessel. The problem, however, is that the Littoral Combat Ship might not be able to replace all the frigates operating in the region.
"That is one of the issues we're seeing with the availability of naval ships is the retirement of those frigates," said Air Force Gen. Douglas Fraser, who heads up U.S. Southern Command. "And this has been a gap that we have seen for a few years now coming — and so the Littoral Combat Ship will have a great capacity to also support our mission as well in the future."Go Back to Top.

Less Housing Angst in Britain?
The U.S. subprime mortgage crisis has rattled banks around the world, putting the brakes on lending, while U.S. housing prices are down and sales of new homes have plummeted. In Britain, the specter of a 1930s-style bank run on collapsing lender Northern Rock (NRK.L) shocked regulators and consumers alike. And after a dizzying 15-year runup, the growth in British housing prices looks likely to slow this year, to 9%.
Add it all up, and it sounds like a disaster in the making for big British homebuilders such as Barratt Developments (BDEV.L), Persimmon (PSN.L), and Taylor Wimpey (TW.L). But the surprise is that these companies look likely to weather the slump far better than their U.S. counterparts. "We have by no means seen the end of the downturn in the U.S. property markets," says Tom Gidley Kitchin, analyst at London-based stockbroker Charles Stanley (CAY.L). "In contrast, we're not going to get a massive fall in British house purchases."
The reason comes down to simple supply and demand. With a relatively stable population and a shortage of land, Britain hasn't seen the kind of speculative excesses that led to the home inventory glut in the U.S. New home sales constitute only about 10% of real estate transactions each year in Britain, vs. nearly 15% historically in the U.S. And with British housing still in short supply, analysts say prices and demand for both new homes and resales are likely to continue rising, albeit at a slower rate than during the last half-decade.
'Northern Rock Effect'
To be sure, times could get a bit tougher for builders. On Sept. 26, Britain's second largest developer by volume, Barratt, reported solid numbers for 2007, including a 25.3% rise in revenues, to $6 billion, and a 9.3% gain in pretax profits, to $861 million. But Chief Executive Mark Clare conceded the company experienced a short-term "Northern Rock effect" in early September, a reference to the $4 billion run on Britain's No. 5 mortgage lender that started on Sept. 14.
In the first few weeks of September—normally a strong season for new-home purchases—Clare says Barratt saw a sudden 10% decline in sales. He insists it's still too early to assess the broader knock-on effects, but he nevertheless gave more cautious guidance for 2008, citing rising interest rates and some hesitancy by home buyers resulting from uncertainty in the British economy.
Barratt shares fell 5.3% after the earnings announcement, but ended the day flat and have since climbed 3%. Overall, British homebuilders have seen their shares fall around 20% since early September and 40% since the start of the year.
Still, their situation is far better than the crisis facing American developers. Sales of new homes in the U.S. fell 8.3% year-on-year during August, to their lowest level in nearly a decade. On Sept. 25, the U.S. National Association of Realtors said the supply of unsold homes hit an 18-year high in August; the same day, Miami-based Lennar (LEN), the nation's largest homebuilder by revenue, announced a $514 million third-quarter loss on a 44% drop in revenue, to $2.3 billion.
Government Help
In Britain, by contrast, a continued shortage of housing has helped drive home prices up 90% since 2002, according to British mortgage lender Halifax (HBOS.L). Analysts predict 160,000 new units will be built during 2007, but to keep up with demand, the government has called for new home construction to rise to 240,000 units annually by 2010.
The government push for new homes has helped maintain stability at a time when other parts of Europe are feeling the pinch from a property slowdown after a long period of speculation. For instance, after years of double-digit growth, the Spanish and Irish housing sectors have been particularly hit by overbuilding and the financial market volatility. Home prices in Ireland are expected to drop by almost 6% year-on-year in 2007. Spain's downturn is less severe, but a 5.8% rise in prices in the 12 months ended July, 2007, was the slowest growth rate since 2000.
British homebuilders also benefit from a generally strong economy. Goldman Sachs (GS) predicts gross domestic product growth this year of 2.9%. And though the Bank of England has raised interest rates by 1.25 percentage points since July, 2006, the accompanying rise in mortgage rates hasn't dramatically slowed home sales.
"Homebuilders are in the driving seat as long as the consensus for building more homes remains and the economy stays strong," says David Stubbs, senior economist at the Royal Institute of Charter Surveyors. Such predictions are music to the ears of the country's homebuilders. After all, no one expected British property prices to sustain their growth this long. The strong desire for home ownership in Britain likely will keep builders smiling even as their U.S. counterparts face tough times.

Roth Capital Cuts Cognos to Neutral
Roth Capital cut its investment opinion on Cognos (COGN ) to neutral from buy.
Analyst Nate Schneiderman said he thinks it's time to get out of positions, as the company's three year bullish history is ending. The analyst noted premarket pressure is no surprise as the company missed its second quarter license revenue for the second quarter in a row, suggesting to him that sales-execution challenges persist. He thinks the company's third quarter, and fourth quarter license guidance is unrealistic; and the aggressive guidance adds risk to the stock price. He sees a likely tug-of-war in the stock between sellers and buyers as controversy over the company's credibility plays out. He cut his target to $40 from $45. He also moved his third quarter earnings per share estimate to $0.38 from $0.39 on lower revenue of $231 million, and his $1.57 fiscal year 2006 (ending February) to $1.53.

Where I stayed
A train car
I pull into Budapest at 5:00am sharp and am definitely still
tired. I was constantly being woken up last night to have my passport checked,
and because it was just so damn cold-I could see my breath at times. Because I
still had two hours before anything opened up, I wandered the streets like a
homeless person for two hours. This city is just amazing. It was the look and
feel of Eastern Europe, but definitely shares many architectural ques of
Austria-they were in the same empire after all. As soon as 7:00 rolled around,
I headed back to the train station to buy my ticket to Krakow, and pick up a
map of the city. I find it easy enough to buy the ticket, and its cheap as
well; only 39 Euros for a 12-hour ticket. After picking out a amp, I get a
rough idea of where I want to go and how I'll get there ingrained in my brain;
this map is bulky, and in Italian. I try to stick to the plan, but every time I
see something cool the next block over, I can't help but to investigate it. I
end up walking to about every scenic location on the map that day. From the
Buda Castle hilltop I can see the entire city, the green-forested hills
everywhere, and up and down the river. I don't know what people think when they
hear Hungary, but Budapest is a must visit. I could have spent two or three
days here easily-there are just so many museums, boat tours, and other random
things to do. And just as in Belgrade, the people here are all so friendly. I
did find it quite difficult to find food in my price range though; there really
weren't too many street vendors. Nearing the end of my walking tour, I sat down
in the grass in a great little river island park. I could have easily fallen
asleep here, but didn't want to miss my train or get ripped off. Thankfully, I
was able to find a huge Church that I had spotted from the hill. The interior
was just amazing; it really made me wish I had brought my tripod to use in the
low light. The paintings, mosaics, and woodwork were just amazing and over the
top. The atmosphere was made complete with the pip organ playing in the
background. As I get back to the train station, an old man sitting at a bench
motions for me to play him in chess; I usually would have taken him up on the
offer, but I just wasn't feelin it today. I end up just waiting around for
about an hour for my train to arrive. When it does pull in, I'm met with an
awesome surprise. I don't have to sleep in a chair tonight! I get an honest bed
in a sleeping car; ahhh, this is going to be nice. Unfortuneatly I'm on the top
third bunk, but eh, I'll be sleeping the whole time so whatever.

The libbies never did this to Clinton after all his lies. Now Letterman
called out someone from MSNBC for OBYs lies and it's disappointing when
the challenger is more honest than the Prez. When did he get so moral all
of a sudden with all those women he, at his own admission, sexually
harrassed and all the lying he did .
I didn't even know he knew they were lies and Leno has been
cracking jokes about him. OBY was just on there instead of

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
OK. So how did everyone get on? Tude - I thought that I saw you but I wasnt sure.
Here's my race report.
Best wine? Les Tourelles de Longueville (Pauillac 2010).
Best tent? Steak/chips (KM40)
Best 'event'? The look your best before the end (KM 41)/
Medoc was out of this world;
The organisers have everything done to a fine art and I picked up my packet within 5 minutes. I wandered around the other marathons on offer and had a look at what else was on offer. It was mostly uninteresting but I was given some free haribo and the wine was already flowing – a great sign! This continued throughout the entire event – all of the food and drink stops were plentiful and organized.
The food stations were well packed and the wine was well flowing. You really couldn't ask for much more. The entire marathon was like carnival in cologne. Everyone was in such a party mood – the vibe was honestly amazing and I've never felt anything like it.
What can I say about the run? It was mostly through the vineyard so there was a lot of dust tracks which played more with my asthma than I expected. It was great to actually run through some beautiful countryside and be part of such a great event. There were a few hills along the route but nothing especially taxing.
I started to struggle a little bit around mile 15 with cramps and stitches. Then by some good grace I came upon a Knight. A literal knight of course – this was fancy dress. It turned out that he was a fellow Marathon talker and we spent the rest of the race laughing, chatting away and trying to survive the 36'c heat. The best thing of all was this guy knew his wine and I got to know which were the best chateaus that we were visiting.
The km's quickly slipped by and even though we were struggling the atmosphere and people we met along the way carried us through to the end. Mike's (the Knight) his feet started to cause him some issues so we stopped and whilst he sorted out his feet – I used the time wisely (drinking and eating).
If I had to say one thing about this race is that it's definitely not a PB course. It's normally very hot and if you're not used to it – it can be hard to handle, the dirt tracks can be difficult at times as well. But on the other hand – it's a unique course with a unique group of people running it. They are not PB'ers – they are all there for the same reason – to have fun and enjoy the area and we certainly did that!
After the race – we were escorted through the area with ease and I promptly found the food/drink tent. Everything was free so I enjoyed a beer and lots of water and waited for the final people to come through.
Travelling is relatively easy. You can choose to stay in Bordeaux and join one of the buses on the morning/afternoon for a small fee. Very easy and no fuss. We chose to drive down from Brussels so it was 10 hours in total and relatively hassle free. Lots of people fly into bordeaux and hire a car.
Accommodation can be a tad difficult. I asked a french colleague to help and we found a great little bungalow 20 minutes from the start. It was great. If you drive/ hire a car - you can stay anywhere in the Pauillac area. I saw lots of people pitching tents outside of campsites and it didnt seem too much of an issue.
Entry: Entry opens in February and as long as you enter in a timely manner - it's easy to enter. Just make sure that you submit your medical form in a timely manner.
That could be it. I was "lucky" that I managed to stay in Hourtin.
Hmm... I missed a wine stop I might need to go back and make sure I get that one!

Five household items needed during calving
During calving season, there's at least five household items that come in handy when things go awry at the barn.
We're calving heifers this year, something Rich and I haven't done since our days on the Beartooth Ranch in Columbus, Montana, decades ago. Our initial operation didn't include raising a next generation to mama cows since our primary business is selling beef directly to consumers.
When cattle prices got so high, we decided we could use animals raised on the place to replace the older cows cycled out of the herd, so that put us in the heifer-calving business.
The first one came early in the morning Jan. 2. I jokingly told my colleagues this might have to be our New Year's baby to feature in the newspaper since the local hospital wasn't coming through with our traditional Baby New Year.
During his 4 a.m. rounds before going to work, Rich found our first heifer to calve off in the pasture alone with its water broken and one front foot already emerged. He called our son, Cole, and woke me up since it was apparent she'd need a little help.
The fellas got her in the barn and got the chain and calf puller ready. My job that morning was moral support and holding the flashlight. The birth was a hard one, but mama and baby came through it fine. We came in for breakfast and upon our return, found the heifer hadn't paid a bit of attention of her offspring. The calf hadn't been licked clean, let along nursed. When Rich helped the baby up to nurse, the new mama simply kicked here away.
Since he needed to get to work, he mixed up a powdered substitute for a cow's first colostrum milk and got it down the bull calf via a tube. Later, we put a halter on the heifer and tied her to the fence corner post to help her understand her new job as a mother. It was touch and go for the next 48 hours, but the calf was strong and soon just ignored the kicks. If the cow walked away, he followed and got his milk. That problem was no sooner solved when the cold air hit and another calf was born.
This time the cow prolapsed (when the uterus comes out with the calf) and couldn't get up. The calf was several feet away and barely moving. Rich brought her into the garage and I got out my blow dryer (household item No. 1 needed for this situation.) We also set up my electric heater in the garage (household item No. 2) and got bath towels to dry her off (household item No. 3).
We again mixed up a colostrum formula to give her some quick nutrition and started wondering how big she was. That's when household item No. 4, a tape measure came into play. There's a formula showing how much a calf weighs based on a measurement just behind the front legs. Turned out the calf was 31.5 inches, or 85 pounds, a larger than desired heifer calving weight. The last step was to find several warm blankets (household item No. 5) to keep her warm as we watched her progress.
Unfortunately the mother cow died, so now Cole has a new task to add to his yearling and chicken-tending duties. He's taken on the task of bucket feeding a newborn, who seems to have come around after a difficult entry into the world.
