Scientists at University of Wisconsin-Madison and the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported the finding in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
"The debate is not about scientific methods, but instead centers around the quality of hurricane data," says lead author James Kossin, a research scientist at UW-Madison's Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies. Kossin and his colleagues had to smooth out the data before exploring interplay between warmer temperatures and hurricane activity, essentially simplifying newer satellite information to align it with older records.
Sea-surface temperatures may be why greenhouse gases are exacting a unique toll on the Atlantic Ocean, says Kossin. Hurricanes need temperatures of around 27 degrees Celsius (81 degrees Fahrenheit) to gather steam. On average, the Atlantic's surface is slightly colder than that but other oceans, such as the Western Pacific, are naturally much warmer.

not all or nothing
"Current model estimates of internal climate variability cannot explain observed SST [sea surface temperature] increases in either the ACR or the PCR [Atlantic and Pacific tropical cyclogenesis regions]. This conclusion is insensitive to existing uncertainties in model physics and parameterizations, to observational uncertainty, and to the details of the procedure used to compare SST trends in observations and model control runs. It is also reasonably robust to the choice of time period used to estimate historical SST trends. … In both regions, model simulations with external forcing by combined natural and anthropogenic effects are broadly consistent with observed SST increases. The PCM [Parallel Climate Model] experiments suggest that forcing by well mixed greenhouse gases has been the dominant influence on century-timescale SST increases. We also find clear evidence of a volcanic influence on observed SST variability in the ACR and PCR."

Others have noted that the trend in category 4 and 5 hurricanes are significantly related to SST.
Deconvolution of the Factors Contributing to the Increase in Global Hurricane Intensity

Science, March 16, 2006
To better understand the change in global hurricane intensity since 1970, we examine the joint distribution of hurricane intensity with variables identified in the literature as contributing to the intensification of hurricanes. We use a methodology based on information theory, isolating the trend from the shorter term natural modes of variability. Results show that the increasing trend in number of category 4 and 5 hurricanes for the period 1970-2004 is directly linked to the trend in SST; other aspects of the tropical environment, while influencing shorter term variations in hurricane intensity, do not contribute substantially to the observed global trend.

Funny, funny
Question: do you folks actually proofread these things and bang them against hard reality before hitting the "Publish" button?
And note well: the 95% confidence used in that report to assert that we would NOT have a below-normally-active hurricane season is MORE "certain" than the IPCC's recent assertion, i.e., that "Most [sic] of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations."
Uh… "Most"??? Is that, like, 50.0001%? If not, why didn't they just specify? My guess? Because people would laugh.
Give us all a break, m'kay?

The link you provided
The link you provided states
""NOAA continues to predict a high likelihood (75% chance) of an above-normal 2006 Atlantic hurricane season and a 20% chance of a near-normal season, according to a consensus of scientists at National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center (CPC), National Hurricane Center (NHC), and Hurricane Research Division (HRD). Therefore, 2006 is forecast to be the tenth above-normal season in the last twelve years.""
""The predicted 2006 activity mainly reflects a continuation of conditions associated with the multi-decadal signal, which has favored above-normal Atlantic hurricane seasons since 1995. These conditions include warmer than average sea surface temperatures (SSTs), lower vertical wind shear, reduced sea level pressure, and a more conducive structure of the African easterly jet""
Which is what I took the desmog short note and its associated linked press release of saying more or less. As well you mention a 95% confidence interval though I didnt see anything of the sort in the link you provided. 95% condifence though is the standard statical accepted confidence level for an analysis of any data to be considered scientifically valid. The IPCC report doesnt exactly conduct a stastical analysis of all the different data sets from a large number of papers to arrive at a conclusion about human influence on climate. Its a general notion statement, based on the collection scientific research on the topic not a stastical analysis per say. Thus its more an educated approximation.
If you read the IPCC report you can see specifically how the differnt climate forcing factors have been estimated, error, and degree of understanding included. Only the 2001 report is currently available but…you can find the report here
I was lazy and got the wiki site image of the IPCC graph that shows exactly what you believe they dont specify. Also pasted below.
I don't believe an overall percentage of each forcing is listed though. It does also suggest there is need for greater research in a couple of climate areas as well.
Faulty Computer Models and Predictions
Just invert this:
"1. Expected Activity … 5% chance below normal"
which yields a 95% chance that activity will NOT be below normal, according to the computer's prediction.
These faulty computer models virtually guaranteed at least normal, if not above-normal activity. How utterly wrong that was (for "scientifically valid"). These computer models couldn't accurately characterize hurricane activity when they were run two months into the season, and we're supposed to believe computer models can accurately predict infinitely more complicated phenomena based on events that span millenia? Sorry. No.
"…95% condifence though is the standard statical accepted confidence level for an analysis of any data to be considered scientifically valid."
So by this you mean to say that the IPCC's statement, which uses "very likely" (90%), is not scientifically valid? I've been saying this all along. Thank you.
"Its a general notion statement, based on the collection scientific research on the topic not a stastical analysis per say."
Right. Yet they somehow managed to find a 90% - very likely - statistical probability that "Most" global warming was anthropogenic. Either you're mistaken, and they did a statistical analysis or you're correct and their statement is deliberately misleading. You can pick.
"If you read the IPCC report you can see specifically how the differnt climate forcing factors have been estimated…"
I've read it. And nowhere in the report do they assign a mathematical value to the term "Most", the way they did with the term "very likely". As such, the statement says nothing scientific about the degree to which humans have contributed to temperature changes. Yet we see that statement presented ad nauseam as "scientific proof" that we need to make drastic energy policy changes to avoid disaster.
Starting to see why thinking people are skeptical yet? ;-)

Tim Ball "leaky condo denier"
You wanna hear a good one about Tim Ball?
According to one of the guys who lives in the same condo building as Ball, there was a decision made that each resident was to pay $5000 to fix a minor leakage problem in the building.
Ball, went around talking to all the residents telling them that the damage wasn't as bad as people thought and to listen to him because he knew all about building envelopes.
When it came to the vote, Ball convinced enough people that the decision failed and Ball won. The repairs were never done.
Fast forward two years later:
Since the initial damage was never fixed b/c our little "leaking building envelope denier," Tim Ball, it got way worse and now everyone in the building is facing $100,000 each to repair the damage. I'm not making this up, heard it straight from one his neighbours, who obviously hate Balls' guts.
If you don't believe me, ask Ball himself: [email protected]
So how does this relate to global warming. Well, Ball is NOT an expert in climate change, he has not published any research in over ten years. He is also NOT the "first PhD in climatology in Canada," not even close. Just like the leaking building envelope he fought against taking action on, global warming is only going to get more expensive the longer we wait to take action.
Seriously, read up on this guy before you start using him as a source of expertise on global warming, you are just assisting him in spreading misinformation.

As for the study, there seems to be quite a bit of confusion over some very poor choices of wording, some complex calculations of more than one layer of probability, or both. I wish the principal in this study would take more responsibility for the press releases, or at least learn to communicate properly.

Other basins show increase
Steve, the paper can be downloaded at:
It is interesting to note that four of the other five basins showed a slight increase when using the "best track" data. Only the East Pacific Basin showed a decline.
It would have been interesting to see a plot of SST for these basins. I would suspect that temperature increases in these other basins are much lower than in the Atlantic Basin since they all start off at a higher temperature initially thus GW would not have as much of an effect.
Of course none of this says whether AGW will increase the number of tropical storms, only their intensity.

I'm not sure how the scientists would judge it: but last summer CBC said China had an unusually violent typhoon season (they call them typhoons instead of hurricanes). Report on Typhoon Saomai
"At least 110 people were killed after Typhoon Saomai, the most powerful storm to hit China in five decades, slammed into the southeast coast Thursday, resulting in the evacuation of more than 1.3 million people, state media reported…"
So China evacuated 1.3 million people, while the US couldn't manage to evacuate New Orleans.

"The big problem with much of the discussions about trends in hurricane activity is that the databases that everyone is working from are known to have significant inhomogeneities due to changes in observing practice and technology over the years…
…However, rather than this study being taken for what it is - a preliminary and useful attempt to make homogeneous a part of the data (1983 to 2005) - it is unfortunately being treated as if it was the definitive last word. We've often made the point that single papers are not generally the breakthroughs that are sometimes implied in press releases or commentary sites and this case is a good example of that…"

ICI Comments on IRS Proposal on Notices of Failure to Defer Distributions
Washington, DC, January 26, 2009 - ICI has commented on a proposed IRS regulation, mandated by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA), regarding the content of benefit plan distribution notices to participants.
Participants in 401(k) and other employer-sponsored retirement plans face an important decision when they retire or change jobs: whether to take their plan assets as a distribution, roll over those assets to another plan or Individual Retirement Account (IRA), or defer distribution and leave the assets with the plan.
For accounts with a value of more than $5,000, IRS rules generally require that employers obtain consent from 401(k) and other plan participants to distribute their accounts when their employment ends. This consent is valid only if the participant is informed of the right to defer receipt of the distribution.
The PPA directed that these regulations be modified to require that the notice of a participant's right to defer distribution must describe the "consequences of failing to defer" the distribution.
The IRS issued a proposal in October 2008 providing guidance to employers on the content of this required notice. In it, the IRS advised that to satisfy PPA requirements notices must describe possible implications of taking a distribution from a plan—such as tax implications and investment option availability—that might influence a participant's decision on whether or not to take a distribution.
Previous interim guidance on the PPA (Notice 2007-7) appeared to require that departing employees receive information, such as the enrollment package and the prospectus, which is routinely provided by the plan administrator upon enrollment and over the course of the plan enrollment, rather than more focused information related to the deferral decision. The new proposed guidance instead advises that the notice offer key information relevant to deferral decisions. The notice would also include contact information for obtaining additional information.
ICI submitted a comment letter on January 7, 2009, to state its support of the requirements regarding plan investment options and to outline the benefits of the proposed approach.
ICI Position
ICI supports the proposal's notice requirements regarding plan investment options. The regulations improve upon the IRS's 2007 interim guidance by focusing the notice given to departing employees on the key information they need to decide whether to leave their retirement accounts assets in the plan, rather than duplicating information they have already received.
The proposal strikes the right balance by alerting participants that the plan may have investments, or fee structures, different from those available in an IRA, and notifying participants that more information is available upon request. This approach will not overwhelm participants with information that obscures the essential items, while also assuring that participants have access to information that is necessary in their plan benefit decision-making.

Perth mining identity
The reputation of the former
Kennedy later described the fight as "just a blue", but soon after parted ways with the company, which is developing a high-grade copper and gold deposit at Doolgunna, 900 kilometres north of Perth.
But Kennedy's ability to handle himself in a scrap may come in handy in his latest role as chief executive of diamond explorer Lonrho Mining.
The gem tiddler is searching for the precious stones in Angola – that haven of love and understanding – in conjunction with Endiama, the national diamond company.
Lonrho is racing to firm up its tenements, but already the market is getting excited. Talk that the company is just weeks away from releasing test results has sent the stock on a run – of sorts – from 1.6¢ to 3.6¢ over the past three months.
Lonrho is something of a return to old ground for Kennedy, who until 2007 was chairman of Kimberley Diamonds, which was taken over by the British-based Gem Diamonds.
It was in that role that Kennedy and Simich, who was CEO of Kimberley, ran into a little trouble with the stock exchange for purchasing Kimberley shares ahead of a government decision to cut the royalty rate at the mine.
In the end it was all a large misunderstanding and the matter never amounted to much.

Kansas City was in a one-back set with Priest Holmes. There were two wide receivers to the left, tight end Tony Gonzales on the right side of the line and a wide receiver going in motion from left to right.
Trent Green got the snap and backpedaled. Despite sending five people out for passes, he found no open because the Bills dropped seven in coverage using their nickel package.
Up front, under tackle Ron Edwards drew a double team and nose tackle Justin Bannan was pushed outside by the Chiefs' left guard. Left end Grant Irons and right end Aaron Schobel got some push and helped to flush Green from the pocket.
With Bannan led outside, and the Chiefs receivers all running to the edge, the middle of the field was open and Green ran it in for the score. Chris Watson, Pierson Prioleau and Eddie Robinson converged on him, but he was able to duck his head and squeeze into the end zone for the game-winning score.
Watson, incidentally, was called for holding on the play, so even if Green hadn't scored, Kansas City would have gotten a fresh four plays to put the ball in the end zone anyway.
"It's always hard," said Prioleau. "It's always hard on you when you've got the right coverage on, people are locked up, and you get the quarterback scrambling (for the touchdown or first down). It's always frustrating. But I think that's something we got to put a stop to.""Trent Green made some nice plays, with no place to throw the football," Gregg Williams said. "The coverage was very sound, very good. We utilized a couple of packages that we hadn't utilized in a couple of years and those guys did a good job in those packages and Trent pulled the ball down and ran, made two big plays. His touchdown was huge, and the third-down conversion at the end. No place to throw it and he was able to make the play with his legs."

THE newly completed performance area at Andover's Vigo Road Recreation Ground was formally opened by the Mayor of Test Valley, Cllr Janet Lovell, last Sunday.
Four years ago the late Mrs Jean Locke left £5,000 in her will to The Rotary Club of Andover with a specification that the money be used for the benefit of the Andover community.
Rotarian Chris Lynn, a former Mayor of Test Valley, suggested that following the removal of the bandstand from Vigo Park a performance area replacement could well be a suitable way to use the bequest. The club agreed and together with support from the Andover Anton Rotary Club and the community and leisure services department of Test Valley Borough Council (TVBC) plans were drawn up.
Three years on, with the benefit of a further £1,000 from Rotary district funds to add to the £5,000 legacy and much planning and provision from the rotary clubs and, in particular, TVBC the performance area is completed and ready for use.
A rotary spokesman said: "At the opening ceremony the president of the Andover Rotary Club Igor Obrastsoff -Rutinsky paid tribute to the late Jean Locke.
He thanked the mayor for her attendance as well as Rotarians Chris Lynn and Ian Yeo and Neil Preece from TVBC community and leisure services, for their hard work in seeing the project to fruition over the last two plus years."
After the mayor had cut the tape a seven-strong section of Test Valley Brass then gave the new stage a musical baptism – hopefully the first of many musical events to come. Even at this early stage there is talk of a full band concert and a Picnic in the Park next summer.

GALLERY: 2012 San Gabriel Valley All-Area Football Team | MORE PREPS
Player of the Year: Brandon Martinez is one of the those rare players who has the ability to leave his name all over not only his school's record books, but the Valley's as well.
BRANDON MARTINEZ, El Monte, QB, SR
With Martinez at the helm, El Monte's dormant football program experienced one of its best seasons ever. The Lions won their first league title since 1979. They also won their first playoff game in over 20 years.
At the center of it all was the Lions' dynamic senior quarterback who proved anything is possible with the ball in his hand. For instance, Martinez delivered a last-second touchdown pass to beat Montebello in the first round of the playoffs. It was one of six he threw in the game.
Martinez ended his career as the Valley's single-season record holder in passing yards with 4,286 yards. He also broke the old record for single season passing touchdowns previously held by Bishop Amat's Pat Haden and Los Altos' Felipe Aguilar with 44. He also added 723 yards rushing and eight touchdowns.
For those reasons, he is the Tribune's Player of the Year. "We had been through a lot," Martinez said. "We were close to losing and we came up with a lot of close wins. I really appreciated those the most. We had a lot of fun."
Martinez the quarterback almost never happened. El Monte coach Joel Sanchez made a gut decision prior to Martinez's junior season to replace an incumbent starter with a once-chubby prospect who was able to do things with the football that most Lions players could not.
The rest was history. El Monte played its way into a chance at the Mission Valley League title last season in Week 10, but lost to Arroyo. The Lions would not make the same mistake again.
Martinez guided El Monte to a win over Arroyo this season that sent the Lions on their way to a share of the league title.
"The highlight of the year was our first Mission Valley League title," Martinez said. "Last year, we came up a little short. But this year, we came back and got it."
Martinez didn't break Aguilar and Haden's record until the second round of the playoffs during a road game at Paraclete. It proved to be El Monte's final game of the season as the Lions were eliminated with a loss. Still, though, the game was halted to honor Martinez's accomplishment and that's something he will never forget.
"It was amazing," Martinez said of the moment. "At first, I wasn't really keeping track of my records. I had goals of breaking some school records. But when my coaches brought up Pat Haden, after that, I had my mind set on it."
OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR: KOA HAYNES, BISHOP AMAT, QB, JR.Koa Haynes entered the season as most people's biggest concern about the Bishop Amat offense. He replaced a two-year starter and all the other pieces appeared to be in place with running back Dionza Blue and receiver Darren Andrews at his disposal. Turns out, Haynes was the biggest strength, and not the concern, of the offense. The junior came out of the gate firing and led Amat to a win over Servite in the season opener. He then was unstoppable in the first half in a 30-point outburst against Charter Oak's vaunted defense as Amat rolled to a 30-7 lead after two quarters. Haynes' ability to move around the pocket and scramble gave opponents fits. Haynes was named to the all-Serra League first team at quarterback after throwing for 2,413 yards and 20 touchdowns. Haynes also rushed for 300 yards and six scores. A Covina resident, Haynes was a big reason why Amat averaged 32.7 points per game this season. He will be the early favorite to be the Tribune Player of the Year next season.
Defensive Player of the Year: ERIC ORTIZ, CHARTER OAK, LBEric Ortiz did something darn near impossible. The senior linebacker distinguished himself as the best player on a defense that was loaded with some of the top talent around. But if you ask his coaches or watch the films, Ortiz clearly set himself apart. The Chargers were the top defense in the area and allowed just 11.5 points per game this season. Domination like that led the Chargers to a second consecutive sweep of the Sierra League and a return visit to the second round of the Inland Division playoffs. Ortiz, game in and game out, was at the heart of it all. Ortiz led the Chargers in tackles with 80. He also recorded three sacks and recovered a fumble. In Charter Oak's playoff win over Chaparral, Ortiz made 11 tackles. The all-league voting saw Ortiz be named co-Sierra League Defensive MVP with teammate Eric Prevost. "It was such an honor to play on a great defense," Ortiz said. "All those guys, everyday, they challenged me and I challenged them. It was just a great experience."
Newcomer of the Year: ANTONIO 'NOODLES' HULL, West Covina
When Hull arrived at West Covina two years ago, his reputation as a top youth league player preceded him. Nobody knew when exactly Hull would be given the keys to the West Covina offense, but due to injury and ability, it happened this season. Hull, a sophomore, played quarterback, running back and receiver. He also played safety on defense. As the season wore on, Hull became the Bulldogs' most explosive player and led the team to wins in the first two round of the Southeast Division playoffs. Surprisingly, Hull was only a second-team Hacienda League selection on offense despite clearly being one the most feared players in the division by season's end. Hull finished with 609 yards passing and six touchdowns. He added 870 yards rushing and five scores. Hull's future is at quarterback and after a dynamite sophomore season, the best is yet to come.
Coach of the Year: ALBERT SANCHEZ, Gladstone
Sanchez went out in style, to say the least. In his final season at Gladstone, Sanchez led the Gladiators to a 10-win season, share of the Montview League championship and the school's first postseason win since 1977. All of Gladstone's accomplishments came as a major surprise since the Gladiators went 3-7 in 2011 and weren't picked to even make the playoffs after several key players bolted the program in late summer. Sanchez won four Montview League titles in his 14-year career and his teams made the playoffs 10 times. "I couldn't have written any better," Sanchez said. "It's one of those situations where you know you're going to go out and the stars aligned. The kids bought into what we had to do. It was just magical." Sanchez resigned to spend more time with his family.

Linklaters' top earning partner took home £2.3m last year – £300,000 less than the previous year, according to the firm's annual LLP accounts.
Partner numbers at the firm have been decreasing over the past five years and currently stands at 442, with 414 equity partners. On entering the equity, partners receive between seven and ten equity points and increase those by 1.5 parts per year to a maximum of 25.
The top of equity currently stands at £1.658m and the bottom at £0.663m.
The firm's accounts, filed today (29 November) at Companies House reveal that partners are taking home a slightly larger profit pool this year, with £350.6m available for distribution compared to £348.9m the previous year.
But both revenue and profit have dipped slightly. Last year the firm generated revenues of £1.193bn compared with £1.204bn in 2011/12, net profit also declined from £385m in 2011/12 to £371m in 2012/13.

TOP STORY > >When the tornado hit
Leader staff writer
Theres a sharp right curve on Jacksonville Cato Road in Gravel Ridge that marks the area surrounding the devastation left behind by the April 3 tornado. Road crews are still working to clear the downed trees along the road.
The road continues down a bit before you see a house in the middle of piles of branches and huge tree roots.
It is the home of Ray Festus Nebling and his wife, Margie. He said it was around 10 p.m. when they were both in bed, and they heard a boom and then the wind.
Once it was quiet again, he ventured outside to look.
I had a tree over one end of my house, a tree laying over my barn, a tree laying over the bed of my pickup, and a lot of trees across my driveway. We were sewed in, said Nebling. The tornado was bouncing, taking the tops off of trees and moving them 10 to 12 feet.
Everyone is OK. No one was hurt. Thank God, Nebling said.
The past week has beenhectic for him as he tried to get things ready for the next storm system that headed this way on Thursday.
The frustration, he said, comes from people stopping and wanting all the fallen trees for firewood. Some people dont ask, they just take, he said.
Right away, Southern Baptist Disaster Relief and members of the Hardriders Biker Church were there to help cut up and clean away the downed trees.
The experience was a little different for Caroline Dunlap of Hidden Creek Road in Gravel Ridge. She wasnt home at the time of the tornado, and was alerted by her security system company.
When I got home, the police were right outside, and they advised me not to go into the area, but to wait until daylight because there were power lines and trees down everywhere, Dunlap said.
The next day, she went back to her house and found that part of the roof was missing and both front windows were blown out.
Its not so bad for me. One of my neighbors roof is completely gone, and another neighbor lost an entire wall of his house, she said.
Mason Collier of Loop Road in north Pulaski County was watching TV, saw his neighborhood under the tornado warning, and then the electricity went off. He and his wife then heard the sirens, grabbed their dogs and got in the master closet.
I heard dead silence. Then, I heard what sounded like a 747 and heard what sounded like cracking bamboo. It was the roof of my house coming off. Then silence again, said Collier. When he came out of his house, he found his roof across the street.
But, it was weird. Everything inside the house was OK. When it rained, the ceilings got wet and fell in afterwards, he said. Still, the tornado twisted the house and will have to be rebuilt.
I have to say, I was very impressed. Almost immediately, people from Home Depot were there with chain saws, tarps, nails, gloves and pitched right in, said Collier.
First Baptist Church, the city of Sherwood, the mayor, councilmen and FEMA have all been out to pitch in with the cleanup.
We came out of it. Nobody got hurt, thank God, Collier said.

We Must Learn
13, 2001
By JM
As we in the U.S. brace ourselves for our collective simultaneous
role of attacker and victim, we must take stock of our accomplishments,
our failures, and our future. We look back upon 225 years
of freedom and our enduring government. We look back upon
two world wars and what it took to accomplish victory both
in economic and industrial terms, and in human effort and
sacrifice. We look back upon our ingenuity and innovation
in science and technology to create things that make our lives
better, easier, safer, and longer. We look back upon the various
religions, races, and cultures we represent and how each addition
molds us to what eventually becomes uniquely American.
It took millions of people in a tremendously diverse culture
to accomplish all we have over that 225-year span. What is
important to note, however, is that we are not alone in that
endeavor. For many years before our independence, our European
friends were experiencing an era of enlightenment. Those promoting
and encouraging freedom were replacing repressive governments.
During that time and since, many in Europe also contributed
to the advancement of society and our global socioeconomic
evolution. The result is that a large portion of the planet
we call home is free to varying degrees. Unfortunately, others
cannot accept this.
Our biggest asset as a species, the one that continues to
separate us from others, is our ability to learn, and this
causes us an interesting dilemma. Our own action or inaction
often turns our pride in our accomplishment against us. With
our America-centric attitude, we manage to garner the ire
of citizens of every nation at one point or another, not necessarily
because we are free, but more likely because of the way we
flaunt our freedom.
In the aftermath of such tragedy as we witnessed in September,
it is easy to look back and point the finger at those who
we deem responsible. What is most important to recognize,
however, is that the action of a few can so vividly and decisively
derail the success of so many. In Germany, it took the persuasiveness
of one man surrounded by a few to inflict a gaping wound upon
the societies of the earth. Between 1966 and 1974, it took
a significantly smaller force to defeat our strong military.
In Somalia, it took a small group of people to take down a
significant number of our best troops. And on September 11th,
2001, it took slightly more than 19 people to kill 6000+,
and injure far more.
Time and time again we fail to learn from our mistakes. We
failed to realize we could be attacked at Pearl Harbor. We
failed again in Cuba with the Bay of Pigs. We failed again
in Vietnam, Somalia, and now on September 11th, 2001. It is
as if our American-centric ego has led us down a primrose
path of perceived invulnerability.
If we are to win this supposed war on terrorism, we must
do it on two fronts. We must not only use force to make every
attempt to secure our borders and our freedom, but we must
also educate ourselves on every level. We must remind ourselves
that we must know our enemy, even if at times our enemy is
our own inability to comprehend the sociopolitical environment
in which we live. We must realize that we are engaged in a
worldwide dynamic. We can continue to make brazen renegade
statements, or we can engage in meaningful dialogue with other
nations to work out all our differences. We must learn from
our failures and adapt.
Our present path would lead one to believe we have learned
nothing. We learned nothing from Pearl Harbor about being
prepared, despite Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, NYC/WTC part I,
Yemen, France, and now 9/11/2001. We apparently have learned
little from Vietnam based on brazen statements by our military
and anticipated tactics by our military in Afghanistan. We
apparently have learned little about coalition building despite
Libya, Panama, Somalia, Kosovo and countless others. As we
look at our collective self in the mirror, we suspect and
in some cases, attack Muslim Americans. We have learned little
about diversity despite the diversity that makes our country
strong. No amount of additional purchases, flag waving, donating
or volunteering can make up for this. We must learn.
Our biggest asset as a species, the one that continues to
separate us from others, is our ability to learn. If we cannot,
our future lies at the bottom of the ladder of socioeconomic

- June 2008 > Wellness Wise
If you are overweight, do you carry most of your extra pounds around your waist or your hips? Of course, being significantly overweight is unhealthy, but its important where the fat is stored. In recent years research has shown that having an apple-shaped body (a lot of abdominal fat) increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, several types of cancer, and possibly other disorders. A pear-shaped body (fattest in the hips, buttocks, and thighs) is less risky and may be protective in some ways, especially in women.
Why it ends up there
Several factors, notably gender, influence fat distribution. Men store most excess fat in the midsection, while women tend to accumulate it lower on the body. Still, women can be apple-shaped, too, particularly after menopause. Heredity and activity level also affect body shape.
Abdominal obesity increases the risk of developing high LDL (bad) cholesterol, triglycerides (fats in the blood), blood pressure, and blood sugar, as well as insulin resistance and low HDL (good) cholesterol. This cluster of problems is known as the metabolic syndrome, which in turn increases the risk of many chronic diseases.
While most of the fat in the hips and thighs is stored just under the skin (subcutaneous fat), more fat in the midsection is stored in and around the liver and other organs (visceral fat). These fat cells deep in the abdominal area are more metabolically active than subcutaneous fat; they release different substances more of certain fatty acids, hormones, and inflammatory compoundswhich are believed to account for some of the adverse health effects. Visceral fat increases estrogen production, for instance, which may partly explain the increase in breast cancer in some postmenopausal women. By inducing chronic inflammation in the body, excess visceral fat may further boost cardiovascular risk.
Apple-shaped adversities
Here are some recent findings about abdominal fat:
Shrinking the big apple
There is no way to lose fat just around your waist, except by losing weight, period. You can not spot reduce. You have to exercise your whole bodywalk briskly, ride a bike, lift weightsand thus burn more calories. You also should reduce your calorie intake, or at least not increase it, and do not smoke: smoking is associated with abdominal fat accumulation.
One piece of good news—While abdominal fat tends to accumulate faster than other fat, it also tends to come off faster. Another—Losing just 2 inches from the waist reduces coronary risk by 11% in men and 15% in women, according to one recent study.
Measuring up
To determine your waist-to-hip ratio, measure your waist at the navel, and your hips at the greatest circumference around the buttocks. Then divide the waist measurement by the hip size. For example, a woman with a 30-inch waist and 40-inch hips would have a waist-to-hip ratio of 0.75. A result greater than 0.9 for men and 0.8 for women indicates above-average risk; above 1.0 for men and 0.9 for women, high risk. In simplest terms, your waist measurement should be less than that of your hips. Ideally a womans waist should be at least 20% smaller than her hips, a mans, at least 10% smaller.
A simpler gauge is to measure just your waist: More than 40 inches for men and 35 inches for women indicates high risk; however, these are not magical numbers; risk starts to rise before those cutoff points.
Wheres that waist? It may not be where your belt is. Measure at the narrowest point between the lower rib and the top of the hip bone, or at the midpoint in between. Do not suck in your belly. If you cant find the narrowest point, measure just above your belly button. Measure your hips at the widest part of your buttocks, as viewed from the side.

Preview: IceCaps at Marlies Posted by IceCaps on
Puck drop: 4:30 PM NT
Listen Live: stjohnsicecaps.com, 930 AM
Watch: AHL Live
Coming off a big 5-1 win Wednesday night in Connecticut, the St. John's IceCaps (23-28-1-2, 47 PTS) head to Toronto to renew hostilities with the Toronto Marlies (26-17-2-4, 58 PTS) at Ricoh Coliseum Sunday afternoon.
LAST GAME: Feb. 20: STJ 5 CT 1 | The IceCaps rebounded from a tough loss to trump the Connecticut Whale 5-1 at XL Center Wednesday night. Eric O'Dell scored three goals – his second hat trick as an IceCap – to pace St. John's. Kael Mouillierat picked up four assists while Ben Maxwell had a goal and an assist. Carl Klingberg notched a pair of helpers and Mark Dekanich stopped 25 shots for the win. St. John's started fast and never looked back, potting three goals in the opening frame and clinching the win with a pair in the third. The IceCaps outshot the Whale 37-26 overall and controlled the flow for most of the game, using an aggressive forecheck to keep Connecticut on its heels for the majority of the contest. | RECAP
Last Meeting (Jan. 13): STJ 4 TOR 2 | The IceCaps ended a seven-game home losing streak with a big 4-2 win over the North Division leading Toronto Marlies at Mile One Centre. Kevin Clark scored the game-winner at 10:26 of the third period and added an empty-netter to seal the victory. Jason Jaffray, the game's first star, and Eric O'Dell both notched a goal and an assist, while Ray Sawada picked up a pair of helpers. Eddie Pasquale stopped 21-of-23 shots for his ninth win of the season. The IceCaps' penalty killing unit was sharp, killing off five-of-seven Marlies power plays after allowing three goals on five chances the night before. St. John's also went 1-for-4 on the power play to end a three-game drought with the man advantage. | RECAP
Other Meetings: (Jan. 12) TOR 6 STJ 2 | (Dec. 22) TOR 4 STJ 2
STJ: Eric O'Dell 4 PTS (3G, 1A) | Ray Sawada 3 PTS (1G, 2A) | Jason Jaffray 2 PTS (1G, 1A) | x Eddie Pasquale (1-2-0, 3.36 GAA)
TOR: x Keith Aucoin 6 PTS (2G, 4A) | Ryan Hamilton 4 PTS (2G, 2A) | Joe Colborne 4 PTS (1G, 3A) | x Jussi Rynnas (1-1-0, 2.51 GAA)
TURNING THE TRICK: F Eric O'Dell notched the first hat trick by an IceCap with his three goals Wednesday against Connecticut. The team's last hat trick was also recorded by O'Dell back on April 7, 2012 vs. Springfield. O'Dell has four multi-goal games this season and three since the beginning of the New Year. In his last 19 games, O'Dell has 18 points, including 11 goals.
HELPING OUT: F Kael Mouillierat set a new franchise record for most assists in a game with four helpers in Wednesday's win. Mouillierat assisted on all three first period markers and factored in on each of Eric O'Dell's three goals. His four points also tied a club record set by Patrice Cormier on Mar. 9, 2012 vs. Hershey (3G, 1A). The sophomore winger now ranks third on the club in assists (17) and fourth in points (22) despite playing in just 32 games.
INJURY REPORT: D Ben Chiarot (hip flexor) returned to action Wednesday after missing the previous three games and was a +3. Injured: Derek Meech (upper body), Jason King (head), John Albert (upper body), Hunter Tremblay (head), Ivan Telegin (head) and Ryan Schnell (knee).
QUICK HITS: Ben Maxwell's seven shots on goal Wednesday tied a season high by an IceCaps player (achieved three times)… Patrice Cormier fought twice in Wednesday's game and has five fighting majors in the last eight games. On Dec. 22 at TOR, Cormier received 15 minutes in penalties after he was assessed a boarding major… The IceCaps have scored five goals in two of their last three games, and is a perfect 9-0-0-0 when scoring four goals or more… All-time, the IceCaps are 5-5-1-0 vs. Toronto overall and 3-2-0-0 at Ricoh Coliseum.
TRANSACTIONS: Feb. 22: WPG (NHL) recalls D Julian Melchiori from STJ (AHL) | Feb. 19: STJ recalls F Norm Ezekiel from COL (ECHL)
MARLIES RECENT ACTION: Feb. 20: SYR 4 TOR 3 | The Syracuse Crunch defeated the Toronto Marlies by a score of 4-3 in a shootout at the Onondaga County Veterans Memorial Arena. Joe Colborne opened the scoring with less than one second left on the clock in the first period. Syracuse would tie the game early in the middle frame on a goal from Mike Angelidis. Colborne's second tally of the game and 9th of the season would restore Toronto's lead at 5:43. The lead was once again short lived as Ondrej Palat equalized for the Crunch at 6:51. Captain Ryan Hamilton notched his 21st goal of the season before the midway point of the third period, giving the Marlies a 3-2 lead. Dana Tyrell would tie the game with less than two minutes remaining in regulation. After a scoreless overtime period, Radko Gudas notched the game-winning goal in the shootout.
TRANSACTIONS: Feb.21: TOR (AHL) reassigns F Brad Ross to Idaho (ECHL) | Feb. 19: TOR (AHL) reassigns F Tyler Brenner to Toledo (ECHL)

The 49ers seemed to be like Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde last season. In this case, Jekyll is desireable while Mr.Hyde is as always self-destructive. They showed you one face, and then put on another, sometimes for the better, other times for the worse. What sort of faces did the 49ers put on?
Looking back we see that the 49ers started the season with one QB Shaun Hill and ended with Alex Smith at the helm. Shaun Hill got them off to a 2-0 start with less than spectacular but manageable statistics. Hill's best game coming against the horrible Rams where he threw 2 touchdowns but only 152 yards. After an abysmal performance in the week 7 game against the Houston Texans where Hill had completed 6 passes for 45 yards at the half he was benched in favor of Alex Smith. Smith then threw for 0ver 200 yards and 3 touchdowns in the second half. Smith managed to toss 18 touchdowns in only 10 ½ games and throw for 2350 yards. The quarterbacks started out as Hyde but managed to finish as Dr. Jekyll.
They were coming into the season expecting to be a smash mouth football team. It was expected they might run on 1st, 2nd and if need be run again on 3rd down with Frank Gore leading the way for the offense. This approach started out more like Hyde than Jekyll with Gore getting only 30 yards in game 1 against Arizona but broke out against Seattle with 207 yards in a highlight filled game. Reverting back to Hyde's ugliness Frank Gore was hurt in the game against Minnesota that also turned out to be a soul crushing loss on a miraculous heave by Brett Favre to win the game. The next few weeks without Gore and even after his return the 49ers had moved to more of a spread formation offense with Alex Smith was taking snaps from the shotgun with Frank Gore doing his best to produce. Gore managed to still eclipse 1000 yards rushing to go along with over 400 yards receiving and scored double digits for the first time in his career.
The defense was more Dr.Jekyll for the course of the season but too often during clutch moments or games the defense turned into Hyde as they managed to cough up games with misplays in the final moments against Indianapolis and Minnesota. The defense managed to keep Peyton Manning from throwing a touchdown in a game for the first time in his career only to get beat by a TD toss from Joseph Addai on a fluke play. They completely shut down the Cardinals the second time they played them with 4 sacks, 5 fumble recoveries, 2 interceptions only to get embarrassed by the Atlanta Falcons in a 45-10 drubbing at San Francisco.
This brief review of the 2009-10 season reveals the either/or style of the 49ers they played with last year. There are two sides to every story, here's hoping the 49ers manage to keep Hyde buried at bay this season.

I have installation of m0n0wall with bridged second interface (opt1) called
FIB. FIB is bridged with WAN.
Everything works fine, but I have noticed that ESP and some kind of ICMP
packets are blocked on firewall "by default" on WAN and FIB interface
(probably on LAN too) in any version of m0n0wall above 1.2b3.
Suppose, I have firewall rules:
WAN : pass | any_proto | any_port_src | any_address_src | any_port_dst |
FIB : pass | any_proto | any_port_src | my_ip_address | any_port_dst |
There is no another firewall rules for ESP/ICMP protocol and no another
rules for <my_ip_address> at any interface at all.
Why in this case does firewall block ESP and some kind of ICMP packets?
Any idea?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards, Maciek

A Parachute man pleaded guilty Friday to felony charges related to the armed robbery of a Basalt woman in her home in November and faces up to 32 years in prison.
Michael Hawkins, 25, will receive 10 to 32 years for aggravated robbery with a crime-of-violence enhancement because the victim was considered an at-risk person. He also will be sentenced to two to 12 years for conspiracy to commit burglary.
Hawkins' two sentences will be served simultaneously, not concurrently, says a press release from the district attorney's office in the 5th Judicial District.
He admitted to planning and carrying out the Nov. 28 home invasion, the release says. Another man, Sergio Sanchez Jr., 24, of Rifle, has pleaded not guilty, and a teen was arrested last month for allegedly acting as the getaway driver.
The woman, 70, told Basalt police that on Nov. 28 she had just gotten out of the shower around noon and was blow-drying her hair when she heard a loud crash in her home. (Police had previously reported her age as 75).
She came out and apparently surprised Sanchez and Hawkins. The defendants believed the woman was going to be gone for a few days, Basalt police Sgt. Stu Curry said a day after the crime, declining comment on why the defendants thought that.
The woman asked Sanchez who he was, and he allegedly pointed a handgun at her and told her to shut up, according to police.
Sanchez asked her if she had any money, while Hawkins covered his head and face with a hooded sweatshirt as he collected her belongings, according to the arrest warrant for Sanchez.
The woman told police that she gave Sanchez $70 from her purse. Sanchez then told her to get back into the shower, ordered her to stay there for five minutes and told her they would come back and kill her if she called the police, according to the warrant.
The woman left the bathroom a few minutes later and found her phone line ripped from the wall, the warrant for Hawkins says.
The alleged victim called police from a friend's home. She told authorities that the thieves had taken an iPhone, an iPad, a Rolex watch valued at $20,000, a sapphire-and-diamond ring valued at $24,000 and other jewelry items, the warrant says.
Using an iPhone tracking feature, the woman's son told police that he had tracked the device to Rifle. Police executed a search warrant the next day at a Rifle residence and allegedly found several of the items.
"We are pleased that Mr. Hawkins has made an admission of his guilt in this case," said deputy district attorney John Franks in the release. "The victim is happy with the agreement, which is always a top priority for us, and we feel that this will result in an appropriate and just sentence."
Hawkins may be called to testify against Sanchez and the teen, said Jill Sarmo, spokeswoman for the district attorney's office.
Hawkins, who was represented by attorney Terry O'Connor of Edwards, had charges of burglary, theft of $20,000 or more; and menacing with a real or simulated weapon dismissed as part of the plea agreement.

SYDNEY — Ryan Gillis is sharing the story of his recovery from drug addiction with the world — and more importantly his home community — to prevent others from experiencing the sorts of struggles he has overcome.
Gillis, a 29-year-old Sydney Mines native, was approached by local filmmaker and acquaintance Jason LeFrense about talking about his journey back from addiction on video.
"He was one of those guys who always said I was going off-track in my earlier years and he would always say, 'Get your life together, you've gotta smarten up,'" Gillis said.
"He said hey, 'Would you like to do a video with your life story and get the message out there to kids and bring some awareness to the community about drugs?
"The only results from drugs and the only results from the disease of addiction is jail, institutions and death."
The result of the collaboration is a 13-minute video that, in the two weeks since it has been posted on YouTube — http://youtu.be/ApCvjXGUQ_Y — has attracted more than 13,000 views. It intersperses an interview with Gillis with photos of him growing up.
"I have two little boys growing up in the town. All my friends have children growing up in the town. Like Ryan, I've lost quite a few friends and quite a few kids in the town through drugs," LeFrense said. "When I saw Ryan's story originally, I was thinking to myself, 'Ryan could easily be the voice to get through to some children.'"
LeFrense said he's been touched by the positive feedback he's received on the video.
"It really related to a lot of families, a lot of people," he said, noting there seems to be a gap between parents and children in talking about drug abuse. "The whole purpose was to get it out there so that people would start talking."
Gillis, who now lives in Halifax, is maintaining his sobriety with the help of a 12-step fellowship program, as well as a deep commitment to practising yoga.
In the video, Gillis is brutally honest about his descent into addiction — he first started smoking marijuana and hash as he was about to enter Grade 7. He eventually became a heavy drug user of substances including opiates and crack cocaine, and he describes how he ended up stealing from family members to support his habit, eventually ending up homeless and watching friends die as a result of their addictions. He said the last time he used drugs was Oct. 5, 2012.
Gillis said he was motivated to let people struggling with addiction know they aren't alone.
"I felt like I was the only one in the world that had these problems and I was the only one in the world that couldn't talk about them," he said. "As I said in the video, I was condemned by my own guilt, I was in a self-made prison.
"You can only keep what you have by giving it away because it would be really selfish of me to come from the bottom and from the street and from that dark place if I didn't give it back."
He added he isn't ashamed of his past, noting it has made him the person he is today, and he wants to show people that it's OK to talk about their emotions. He is now being invited into local schools to share his story of addiction and also teach yoga, which he describes as "his life."
"I didn't want to be in the here and now because I felt uncomfortable, and yoga allows me to get in my body, come to accept who I am," Gillis said.
Last week, he was at Sydney Mines Junior High, while today he is due to speak to students in Eskasoni, and later this week at several other Cape Breton schools.
"It's a disease, it's not a moral decision," Gillis said. "There's help available in the community ... so many people are willing to help people who are willing to help themselves."
The students that he meet often want to take pictures with him afterward and send him messages on Facebook, saying they found his message inspiring.
As for the mounting number of YouTube views of the video, Gillis said he is grateful that people are connecting with his story.
His goal is now to become a yoga instructor.

We're always on the lookout for little ways to make a big visual impact in the apartment that we call home. I just can't wait to have walls that we're able to paint someday. But until then, we make due. We're in the process of trying to sell some of our furniture. And when I made mention of it on Fb, a friend requested a photo of our entertainment center/tv stand. So, I quickly snapped this and slapped it on my wall.
And it got me thinking about how terrible our bookshelves look. They were really just a jumbled mess. Plus, I realized that we had never put any of the books that we received as Christmas gifts on our shelves because there had really been no room to spare. So, they were littering various surfaces of our apartment and things were just disorderly in general.
When the hub & I were thrifting last weekend, we stopped by a store that was color coded. It was an absolutely giant space filled to the brim with aesthetic delight! We both loved it. So, I asked him what he thought of color coding our bookshelves. And he was on board!
It ended up taking a little longer than I thought it would, but it makes me so happy to see, which made it totally worth it. :) And as an added bonus, I feel like I got some spring cleaning done by cleaning the back of the bookshelves that had been collecting dust for quite some time. Hooray for two birds!
Anyway, I just thought I'd pass this along in case someone else was interested in sprucing up their bookshelves. Happy organizing!

Kiski Area wrestling team falls short, loses to N. Allegheny
North Allegheny ended Kiski Area's hopes of returning to the PIAA team tournament by winning the WPIAL team tournament third-place match, 44-20, on Saturday at Chartiers Valley.
"The four teams down here were all quality teams and can all do well, but only three were going to make it to states," Kiski Area coach Chuck Tursky said. "They won some of the close ones, and it snowballed from there.
"They're a good team, and they came after us and they got it done."
North Allegheny (16-3) raced to an 11-0 lead, thanks to close wins by Blynn Shideler (126) and Drew Landefeld (132) and a technical fall by Jesse Rodgers (138).
Kiski Area (16-3) tied the match at 11 when Cole Landowski (145) posted a technical fall and decisions by Shawn McGowan (152) and Kyle Skelly (160).
But pins by Clay Byerly (170) and Alex DeCiantis (182) gave North Allegheny a cushion. Zach Smith rallied to defeat Tyler Worthing, 5-4, at 195 pounds to push the Tigers lead to 26-11.
Matt McCutcheon (220) won a decision, and Shane Kuhn (285) got a pin for Kiski Area. NA closed with two pins and a forfeit. The win was the 150th of McCutcheon's career, vaulting him past school-record holder Tyler Oravec, a 2006 grad who won 149 times.
"I felt a huge swing in this match was Clay Byerly's pin at 170," North Allegheny coach Jamie Kyriazis said. "On paper, it was a toss-up. Kiski won the last time the two wrestled at Manheim. To get a pin charged the team.
"There were some close ones early. The tight ones got us going."

text: I have an old (20 years+) Moulinex convection oven, that is the size of a full size microwave. I love it as I do not have to use the stove oven all the time and have an extra oven when needed. It is large enough for even a small turkey. I cannot find anything like it in the appliance departments now. I know there are some microwave/convection oven combos, but I am skeptical. Does anyone know anything about these combos, or better yet a product similar to the one I have. I paid about $150 for it, but I do not expect miracles.

Kourtney Kardashian Opens Up About Mason's Controversial Sleep Habits
Everyone stop what you are doing right now and pay attention to Kourtney Kardashian's MAJOR parenting dilemma. In her mommy blog for People, she expresses her thoughts on the controversial topic of co-sleeping. The new mom gushes:
"I know that having Mason sleep in my bed might be a controversial topic. But I have to be honest: I just love that time. I especially love how when you sleep with your baby, you breathe together on the same pattern. I've been able to bond with Mason so much more. Even if I've had a busy day, I always look forward to every night and us spending time together when we sleep."
Kourtney goes on to say, "I really have mixed feelings about the whole topic. Some people say co-sleeping for the first two years is good, but now people are telling me the longer he sleeps in the bed with us, the harder it will be to get him to sleep on his own down the line. Of course, ultimately I want what is best for Mason, so I'm really battling with it right now."
Sorry. I realize that being a new parent is a tremendously difficult and challenging job filled with big decisions about breastfeeding, vaccines, poop, sleep patterns and stuff like that, but this seems like TMI to me. Controversial? Really? More like a private and personal decision that I don't need to hear about in a blog. Is it bad that I don't care at all about where Mason sleeps? Is it worse that I know she's lying when she implies that Scott Disick sleeps in the bed with them? Please make the mommy blogging stop. [People]

text: I've decided to put together my 1978 351W together on the cheap. I don't need 500hp (yet) so I'm putting together a motor I can run on the street while I work out the kinks in the rest of the car and save up for whatever motor I'm gonna build next. Plus... it's the first motor I've ever built so I really don't want to drop a bunch of money on a decent bottom end just to learn I made a simple mistake and took out a bunch of pricey parts and machine work. I'm just curious if anybody has had luck running a stock bottom end for any length of time. There's virtually zero bore wear (very low mileage) so I'm just putting fresh rings, bearings, oil pump, etc in. I picked up a set of freshly rebuilt D00E 351W heads (1.94/1.60s, screw in studs/guide plates) for cheap that I'm going to use. I have a Holley 750cfm 3310 carb that just got a Holley Renew kit and a Holley Street Dominator single plane intake. I've still got to buy a cam, lifters, and pushrods, but other than that I've scrounged everything else I need. I'll probably have spent $800 in total to get the motor built and in the car, so in the end it won't owe me much. I'm thinking if I stick to relatively low RPM's I should be fine... what do you guys think? Should I spend a little more money somewhere to help this motor last a little longer or just put it together and see what happens?
