The road to sectionals for Dalton Academy Warblers' new member Kurt is not smooth for his opinion is not even counted.
The first hint that Kurt is not going to stay long at The Warblers is shared in the latest "Glee" sneak peek. Kurt was welcomed to the all-boys club meeting but his joke about their bird mascot was not. When he also suggested an opening number for the sectionals, he was also snubbed.
Nevertheless, Darren Criss' Blaine offered Kurt the comfort he needed, saying Kurt could join the audition for a solo at the sectionals. It was revealed in the episode's sneak peek that Dalton Academy Warblers would end up doing Train's "Hey, Soul Sister" which is none other than Blaine's solo. Meanwhile, the other Sectionals finalist, The Hipsters, would do Mike & the Mechanics' "The Living Years". As for New Directions, they would belt out Florence and the Machine's "Dog Days Are Over".
"Special Education" airs November 30 on FOX.
On another news, USA Today has the first look of the show's Christmas episode where it looks like there is a hope between Emma and Will. E! Online said in its latest spoiler section that there's "at least one squee-worthy moment is in the works for an upcoming episode."

Angelina's Hot ChocolateApril 25, 2007
What it is: A Paris café serving a decadent cup of hot chocolate – one that tastes like a melted chocolate bar
Bonnie: For years I've been sending friends heading to Paris to Angelina's for hot chocolate. I've only gotten raves back.
Back up to 1992.
There I was in Paris, not with foodies, but with my 8- and 11-year-old sons. We had won the airfare for the trip. First class. But that's a whole other story. We were economically squeezing in as much as we could afford, which wasn't much, as I was a single parent freelance writer just getting by.
Paris with young boys is different than with a lover or, for that matter, any adult. We climbed almost every set of stairs in the city, hung out with the gargoyles atop Notre Dame and traversed the miles of subterranean catacomb tunnels lined with six million skeletons. Yes, a different Paris.
Optimistically, I kept a folded list in my pocket of Paris food experiences not to be missed from my friend Babs Chernetz (then food editor of the now defunct McCalls, currently at Redbook). Her list included hot chocolate at Angelina's, a place not far from the Louvre, where we were headed to see the Mona Lisa and as much else as we could fit in before Eric became antsy. Knowing he never lasted more than an hour in museums, Angelina's was ready as plan B.
Thirty-five minutes later we were on our way through the Tuileries to Angelina's. Perfection, I thought, as they seated us in the front room near a window at a white-tablecloth covered table, something reminiscent—only to baby boomers—of Eloise at the Plaza.
I convinced the boys we'd all share one hot chocolate (priced at $8 at today's prices) and they could each have their own bowl of gelato – something that costs less. The hot chocolate was worth every penny. We lingered all afternoon with the guys dutifully writing in their journals (the result of the deal I made with their forward-thinking principal, Ed Mackniak, who—when asked if I could take them out of school for the trip—replied, "They'll learn more from the two weeks in Europe than they would in any classroom.")
The first sip of that rich hot chocolate is still with me. After all, could you forget drinking a melted European candy bar? Neither could I.
Bryan: My life has been filled with great travel and great food (this one I have to thank Bonnie for – as only a mother can drag a young son to a confectionary outside the Louvre). Few experiences stand out as boldly as Angelina's… It was my first time in Paris (I was only 11) – I can still sense the aroma of that rich, warm flowing cocoa and the recollection of that chocolate continues to elicit fond memories of an awakening to a greater food culture and the simple and amazing things in life one finds when traveling.
Eric: With great travel will always come great food discoveries. Have you ever thought about melting a chocolate bar into a glass, waiting for it to become the perfect temperature, and drinking it, savoring each sip as though it were an ice-cold drink on a scorching hot day? That to me is the definition of Angelina's Hot Chocolate. It is the epitome of a chocoholic's euphoria, and is a taste that would even have Willy Wonka asking for seconds.

marla Says:
What a wonderful piece of life, so beautifully written, I always knew you would find a way to use your greatest asset to it's greatest potential. I experienced the joy of Angelina's chocolate when I was in Paris, and this brought back a flood of sensual memories.
Great Job! By the way, Eric & Bryan have an obviously inherited way with words, as well. Looking forward to future "Bites".
Huma Gruaz Says:
I am thrilled that you launched this ingenious site with a write up on my favorite town. Your review brings back so many memories from Paris and makes me eager to go to Angelina's. Love the picture and the write up from Bryan and Eric – what an amazing role model you have been to your sons! You are a whirling dervish and this site will be your new masterpiece!
wemerson Says:
WOW! What a great website. I can't wait for future
products and stories!
Marlene H. Gaston Says:
Bonnie….you are so right….if you LOVE…chocolate…what a treat…I can hardly wait to try this.
You and your sons….have hit on a winner with this site….can hardly wait to try your receipes and participate in the comments.
I saw you this morning on KOLO TV RENO…talking with Dinita….I only got the last bit of your interview….but you caught my attention….LOVED the idea about taking time at work and making your desk an inviting place to take time to eat….We just don't do that anymore….so sad that everything is ALWAYS…on the run! ! !
Thank you for thinking up this wonderful site along with your sons….It cannot help, but be a wonderful contribution to all of us out there….LEARNING…TO TAKE A LITTLE TIME FOR OURSELVES…
Jen Walsh Says:
Thank you for recommending Angelina's hot chocolate. I was in Paris earlier this month and made a trip to Angelina's a priority after reading this bite. I can't even begin to describe how divine and memorable this drink is, especially after a long day of sightseeing.
Thank you!
j.B. Goodwin Says:
It was fantastic. I want to go on line and buy some. How do I find it and order it.
Christine Says:
Stumbled onto your site and just had to comment on the bliss that is Angelina's hot chocolate (currently 6,90 in euros- about $10.75 a serving). The good thing is that you can definitely get a few cups worth from each serving. Savor it…
Debbie Says:
A friend took us to Angelina's toward the end of our stay in Paris three years ago. We berated her for not taking us sooner, as we had so little time to return–and we HAD to have another cup of hot chocolate. It is definitely like a melted chocolate bar, but even better (with the ambiance, after all, wouldn't it be?). We have recommended it to friends, and now we are heading back over. We can hardly wait for a few more trips to Angelina's. It's definitely something special.
Rhona Brenner Says:
How can I get the ingredients for the hot chocolate?
Lizann Says:
I've finally found it. I've been looking for so long!
Here you go everyone!
Laurie Says:
I love Angelina's. First time I had their hot chocolate I was 15, and it was 1985. I always send people there for the hot chocolate when they are visiting Paris. And always a convert is born with the first sip! I have been lucky enough to be kept in stock of the Angelina's Hot Chocolate, as in exchange for the experience, my grateful travellers always bring me back a few bags! If only I could purchase it online, I would never have to fear running out! Although it's not the same as being there, it does help!
Judy Says:
Lizann, thanks for the website. I was just looking for the recipe today. My friend just emailed me from Angelina's. She is in Paris for a week. I went to Angelina's 2X during the week I was there (in Nov 07) I am not a chocoholic, but the hot chocolate blew me away!!
Rhona Brenner Says:
Where can I buy Angelina's cocoa? Is there an online place to get it as Angelina's website doesn't have an order form.
Joan Says:
Hi Bonnie,
It is true! I sell Angelina's chocolate chaud on my Cafe Society webstore cafesocietystore.com.
Additionally, I sell the most amazing French tea that is as fragrant as French perfume and as elegantly composed. It is called The des Ecrivans and comes in flavors dedicated to the authors of different countries of the world.
Here is the url for the page with Angelina's and The des Ecrivans:
Your website is terrific and I wish you all the best!
Joan Says:
Angelina's alert! I am almost sold out of Angelina's chocolate chaud and will not be reordering. So sad but the Euro and shipping now make it too difficult to continue importing this amazing hot chocolate.

Joan Says:
Cafe Society is officially sold out of Angelina's and unable to bring any more in to the US. Dommage! But I do still carry wonderful tea from France called The des Ecrivans which is to tea what Angelina's is to hot chocolate: cafesocietystore.com
Cynthia Says:
My family and I were in Paris over Christmas-time. Our first day there I had a bit of a cold. We had just finished walking through the louvre when my dad said, "Hey maybe we'll check out that great hot chocolate place i hear about!" So off we went towards our hotel to the front doors of Angelina's. At that excact moment I knew my life was gonna change. We waited about 5 minutes until we walked in what I call Heaven on Earth. We sat down at a table and read the menu. I ordered one hot chocolate and a croissant. 5 minutes later I poured my hot chocolate out of the pitcher and into the delicate gold-framed cup. It was just so delicious. Scrumptious! Almost like drinking a candy bar out of a cup. It was pure chocolate. Not like the chocolate water that we sell in America. I knew that I was addicted to Angelina's hot chocolate from then on. It was just so good!!!!

veronica Says:
I have been to Angelina's…a long time ago. Paris was my graduation gift. I loved Paris and will never forget my time there. But I still rave to people about my hot chocolate expereience at Angelina's. I even kept my napkin from Angelina's! One day, I will visit again.

Leslie Says:
I first savored Angelina's Chocolat Africain, as their insanely rich and equally delicious hot chocolate is called, about 9 years ago and the taste lingered in my memory for several years … my husband took me to Paris in September for a "big" birthday (I said I wanted to sip champagne at the Eiffel Tower on this significant milestone day); but just as important, I wanted to return to Angelina's for a cup of chocolat Africain. It was just as wonderful this time around as well! It's a sweet treat not to be missed if you're in Paris.
Myles Says:
Daniel Says:

Anyone who says Angelina's chocolate sucked…..has never been there. It is without question…The most fantastic hot chocolate in the world. Anyone who goes to Paris….Don't miss your chance. My husband and I loved it.
Wynona Says:
This is the best. They need to open a chain in the u.s.!
Elise Jay Says:
RIght at this moment the girls I au paired in Paris ('82-84) have texted me from ANGELINA's where they are no discovering this wonderful Chocolate Africain.
I am so with them in spirit and know that everything said above is So-So- TRUE!!
May the experiences of travel live on — and ANGELINA's always be there to share with future generations….

I go to Paris often, & one of my first stops Is Angelina's. I tell people about it often, & when i go back, I plan to take several friends who live In Paris, & have never visited there.I've been to many great choc. places in the world, but none equal Angelina's. It's #1 In the world for great hot chocolate!!
Richard Gunn, Malaysia Says:
I went to Angelina's for the hot chocolate on a cold spring day and besides the sights, sounds and shopping, the drink captures the taste and part of the soul of Paris.
The bitter sweet taste thickened with cream at your pleasure evokes fond memories and pleasure whenever you have a cup of hot chocolate anywhere else in the world.
This moment of enjoyment can only be recommended from another who has had an Angelina's hot chocolate.
John Incampo Says:
My wife and I were treated to a week in Paris by our children for our 30th Wedding Anniversary this past September. Our oldest daughter, knowing the chocolate addict I am, told my wife: Daddy has to go to Angelina's even if he has to wait on line. It was one of our first stops in Paris, we went twice-both times beating the crowds. It was a fun experience and the Chocolat Africaine was definitely something to enjoy. Angelina's will always be part of a wonderful trip whose memories will last a lifetime.

Cher Says:
I got back from Paris 3 weeks ago and OMG the hot chocolate was to die for. We left going there till the end of the day. We all were tired and had to walk quite a bit to get to the shop. One sip and all the pains and tiredness disappeared like magic. Awesome hot chocolate. I would go back to Paris just for that….
Oh and the price is now 4.2 Euro for a take away cup.
CoreyTess Says:
OMG! My favorite place to chill out in Paris.. i love the hot chocolat and the decor.. the pastries are good too, but that hot chocolat, it is addictive!
Phil Prohow Says:
It's been a month since my last trip to paris, & I hope to go back In 5 or 6 weeks. But since there's no hot choc.In Fla. to compare with Angelinia's, I brought some bottles back home from there.Angelina's now sells glass bottles of choc.weighing 15.4 oz. . Just be careful In packing the bottles,to put in your luggage. I had a small case just for choc. I'm taking my time In drinking It to last until I can get back to Paris. It costs a lot, but as anyone who has ever tasted it knows, It's worth it.Here's to Angelina's. May they be In business for many more years to come!!!

When I was in Paris a few weeks ago, we went to Angelina's everyday for hot chocolate. It is incredible!!! I bought 2 packages of the Angelina's hot chocolate grounded milk chocolate and it is almost gone. Is there a way I can buy it from you and have it sent to the states?
Peggy Says:
Do you know how I can buy Angelina's granulated milk chocolate mix from Angelina's restaurant in Paris?
Thanking you in advance for your help.
Keith Wollenberg Says:
Good News! I finally found a source in the US for Angelina Rumpelmayer's chocolate. The French Cellar in Los Gatos, CA. http://www.thefrenchcellar.com
They are not cheap, but they have to bring it from France themselves. I have no affiliation with the store, although I know the owners from the wine business in San Francisco. Very nice people!
Angelina Rumpelmayer Chocolat en Tasse
Named after his beloved daughter-in-law, Antoine Rumpelayer opened the doors to his first salon de thè on the Rue de Rivoli in 1903. By conceiving a special drink for children, as the judicious French never believed tea was suitable for them, he began a tradition and elevated it to an art form, with the ritual of pudding-thick bittersweet chocolate with rosettes of whipped cream, served in white china cups. This powdered sachet of Chocolat L'Africain is offered in only one size:
Small 14 oz/400 grams $45

My sister and I just got back from Paris and we discovered the Angelina Cafe by accident. The travel agency we were with was on the Rue de Rivoli and one of our tours was running late so we went to Angelina's to get a cappuccino and a snack while waiting. It was the best travel experience ever. We have been all over Europe and nothing compared to the Croque Monsieur sandwich and Angelina Hot Choclate that we got there. I bought a bottle of the hot choclate at the Laffayette Shopping Center and have been telling everyone about it ever since I got home.

On Angelina Paris website (http://www.angelina-paris.fr/) it says you will be able to order online "soon", however, for now you can buy it online at the Château Versailles boutique (http://www.store-chateauversailles.com/) under Kitchen and tablewear. It will cost you about $38 to get it to the US though.
Alejandra Says:
I went to Paris with my 13 year old daughter to celebrate my 40th birthday. We stayed at the Westin hotel which is less than a block away from Angelina. Needless to say we had hot chocolate and a croissant for breakfast everyday. We absolutely adore the place. It is really a must when visiting Paris. Luckily we walked for hours everyday so a nice cup of hot chocolate was all the fuel we needed. We will always remember that trip and Angelina will always be a part of such fond memories.

Kristi Tarabolous Says:
We recently returned from Paris with our 2 sons and daughter-in-law and made a stop at Angelina's. What a treat! Our daughter-in-law described it perfectly, as have so many others, the hot chocolate is like drinking a chocolate candy bar. I myself am not a chocolate lover but I have to say Angelia's was exquisit. Our three children returned to the states, my husband and I continued our Paris stay. We took in Versailles and made it a must to have hot chocolate at Angelia's at the Chateau as well. Angelina's was definitely a highlight for all of us from our Paris trip.
Anita Says:
We tried Angelina's inside Louvre, on our way to Napoleon III apartments. Great view from the cafe too.
Bonnie Says:
Didn't know that there was an Angelina's INSIDE the Louvre… Do you know when that opened? Is it a full restaurant or just a coffee – I mean chocolate shop?
Anita Says:
A restaurant with pretty modern look. Not sure when it opened though. You can see the pic here

Kimberly Johnson Says:
This message is in reply to Bonnie from BiteoftheBest.com– Angelina's is actually sold in stores in Paris. You can get the hot chocolate in either powder form in a can or packets or you can get it in liquid form in a bottle. I am pretty sure you can buy it from Amazon.com as well.
Kimberly Johnson Says:
Have you tried Monoprix? That is the wholesale food store in Paris where my sister and I found the Angelina products. They have a store website you can order from.

I just happened to be reading about Angelina's Hot Chocolate and stumbled across your page. I realize it is several years old, BUT I live in NYC, and Angelina's Hot Chocolate is carried at Bergdorf Goodman. It is sold on the 7th floor in the candy/gift section.
It is not online, you will have to call the store. The price is over the top CRAZY, $45, but buy it and save it for a special treat. The shipping is free.
If u need any more info., feel free to email me.
I had a gift card to the store, so I splurged and purchased 2 cans.
I hope u receive this, as your " thread is so old."
Judy Says:
It's my pleasure. I am a fanatic about my hot chocolate, especially since I do not drink coffee or tea. If I can impose another favorite of mine, although I don't wish to undermine the purpose of your thread here….
SPRUNGLI CHOCOLAT CHAUD. This is from Zurich. When I go there, I bring home, seriously, 8-10 packages. I'm always afraid the airline will think I'm up to something!!
However with SPRUNGLI, you may order online.
My " formula" is 2T Sprungli and 1T Angelina's. EVERY MORNING.

Forum:My sig displays the time in a box
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
So I recently (as in about 3 hours ago) customized my signature. It looks cool now. Sort of. My problem is that when i put in the four ~'s, the site shows the time of my edit in its own separate box. Like this:

Does anyone know what to do?
- This usually happens when wikimarkup gets confused and thinks that there is a newline and a space before something.
like so.
- So my guess is there's an extra newline at the end of your sig. Don't panic. I'm going to try to fix it for you. --monika 00:17, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
Test by monika, not a real signature: Velosi-T {] Screech * Vomit * Mutilations [} 00:23, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
So my attempts to fix it by editing it didn't work, but I made a discovery. Don't put a space after the sig. Do it like this: {{User:Velosi-T/sig}}~~~~~ --monika 00:21, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Spurs' soccer setback 'no impact' on Scorpions
Updated 10:22 pm, Wednesday, January 18, 2012
San Antonio businessman Gordon Hartman, just weeks away from the inaugural game of his North American Soccer League franchise, had little reaction Wednesday to news that the Spurs' hopes of bringing their own professional team to town had suffered a major hit.
In a vote late Tuesday, the San Antonio Independent School District board elected to table plans by Spurs Sports & Entertainment to bring a United Soccer Leagues club to Alamo Stadium.
"We're still proceeding forward and looking forward to getting going," said Hartman, owner of the Scorpions Football Club. "My feeling is we're well ahead of schedule from where we thought we'd be. There is enormous interest in the Scorpions."
Sports Channel
The Scorpions will hold their first home game April 15 at Heroes Stadium, the North East Independent School District facility located across Thousand Oaks Drive from Hartman's Morgan's Wonderland park for special-needs individuals.
Last week, Hartman announced plans to break ground on construction of a privately financed stadium on property between Morgan's Wonderland and the adjacent STAR Soccer Complex. Construction of the 6,100-seat stadium is expected to begin in March.
The Spurs, who have long pursued pro soccer at Alamo Stadium, took a hit when SAISD board president Ed Garza led a move to take that initiative out of the plans for the facility, soon to be renovated with bond money.
"We're staying firm on our focus, our plans, our objectives," Hartman said. "We've always thought of ourselves as the team that would be able to get pro soccer going in San Antonio. It's been gaining momentum daily."
The Spurs' setback has "no impact," he added. "The bottom line is we started this process 18 months ago, and we're excited about it."
Those plans, Hartman stressed, do not include approaching the Spurs again about a soccer partnership to help ensure the stability of the sport in the city.
"That train left the station a long time ago," he said. "We met on five occasions. We hoped early on there might be a chance to join together. That did not work out."

The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to make a decision soon on whether it will hear a dispute between Marvel and the heirs of comic book legend Jack Kirby in a case that could impact the ownership of major Marvel-Disney properties including Captain America, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Hulk, the Silver Surfer, and many more. Now, the case is getting some major backing from some of Hollywood's most powerful creative guilds: SAG-AFTRA, the DGA, and the WGA.
The dispute revolves around Kirby's key contribution to some of Marvel's biggest properties and the 1976 Copyright Act. While the 1976 Copyright Act extended the terms of copyright, it also crafted a termination provision that was meant to give authors the opportunity to reclaim their properties in the latter years of a copyright term. This was seen as a compromise: On one hand, the copyright terms were longer, but authors also had the chance to earn back their properties at a later date in case they had sold their rights when they were new to the industry and lacked bargaining power.
The situation grows complex in the Kirby case when it comes to the artist's official contribution to the popular Marvel properties. Although Kirby co-created many of the characters and superheroes, Kirby has been deemed a "work for hire" who created "commissioned work" for statutory author Marvel. That means that Kirby, who passed away in 1994, never had any termination rights under the 1976 Copyright Act.

And then there were 3
01.02.2007 - 08.02.2007
View Kehoe World Tour on Snow21's travel map.
Had a quality birthday down in Cusco, me and Previn ended up having Guinea Pig, it was by the far the funniest thing I have EVER eaten. The thing comes out whole and its just sat there staring at you before the waiter breaks it up. Claire, the vegetarian, wasn´t best pleased when we started playing with the things head and made her dead hamster come back from the dead to talk to her. She actually had to leave but me and Previn were in tears. Anway, after that went out after the hostel forced me to down Sambuca and beer, nice... Lets just say I had a good night.
Arrived in Iquitos the next day, holy crap this place is wierd. When we were flying in it was dark but the sky kept lighting up with the thunder and lightening, it was amazing to see. Iquitos itself is a strange place, a city in the Amazon which is completely landlocked. The only way here is by plane or boat. For the first night me and Chris satyed in this right pile of poo hostel called the River Fox, woke up to find a mysterious puddle in the middle of the room the next day, Dark Water or what! Luckly manged to check into this sweet place which is nice and quiet.
Anway Chris and Claire buggered off to do a Jungle Trek, would have joined them except I discovered I hate camping, creppy crawlys and things which go bump in the dark. Also wanted to save some $ for diving. So me and Previn had a couple of days before he buggered off to Trujilio on the coast.
We heard about this butterfly farm and so decided to check it out. Weren´t too impressed by the butterflys however, there kinda boring. However it did get better, I ended up getting the unwanted affections of a female monkey.
The German guide found it quite funny, "she likes you yar". Actually was quite funny and thought nothing of it. Anyway got shown this Jaguar then these Guinea Pig looking things which we were told was used as live food for the Jaguar. Pity we missed feeding time. However by this time the monkey had decided it was madly in love with me and wouldn´t actually let go of me. These two keepers had to pri her off me, then when we were walking out it started to run after me. What can I say, its the Lynx effect.
Got a picture of the boatride back, this is the Rio Amazonas which flows all the way down the Amazon till it reached the sea at Belem in Brazil.
The next day I ended up meeting some Isreali girl from our hostel called Anat who was also waiting for her mates. Decided to check out this beach we´d heard about. Wow, thats all I can say. Its a massive lagoon in the Amazon with an artifical beach. All I can say was that it was amuch needed swim. Though kept thinking about all the snakes and stuff while I was swimming.
Well we´re making a move tomorrow down river to the tri-border area of Leticia (Columbia), Santa Roas (Peru) and Tabatinga (Brazil), before catching the boat down to Manaus for Carnival!!

Finding good schools for children is one of the main reasons people move.
There are a number of different reasons why families consider moving into a new home. But Newsday reports that often the biggest reasons are either financial or for their children.
Money issues often play a major role in the decision to move. The paper reports that many families choose to change locations for financial reasons, such as avoiding foreclosures, or to find a new job.
But even when money isn't a factor, the paper reports that families often move out of cities to more suburban areas to find better schools for their growing children.
"It's not unusual to see young couples who courted Manhattan and worried about where to go for the best sushi to suddenly realize that they want to know where the best schools are for their growing baby or toddler," Jay Breakstone, president of the Nassau-Suffolk School Boards Association in New York, told the paper.
Better performing schools can also translate into higher housing costs, making moving a bit more difficult. Realtors told Move Inc. that areas with solid education scores can be as much as 28 percent more expensive.

Paul Beck, 33, from Denmark Hill, south London, was hiking when he fell on ice and fractured his hip on 6 February.
He tried to slide down the mountain to a nearby hamlet but kept tumbling and stopped when he reached a steep drop.
Mr Beck said he survived by drinking melted ice and urine, but was in constant pain and was disorientated.
The 33-year-old, who was walking in the north of the Spain, said he had intended to visit his mother, when he slipped on ice.
"I dislocated my hip, and got a tiny fracture and I was a bit messed up," he said.
"I had intended to get down to safety to a tiny little hamlet by going on my bum, but I made a few tumbles on the way.
"I came to a part where it was so steep and there were rocks below, and I thought: 'If I tumble, that's it'.
"I had to find a refuge in the snow to make myself comfortable."
'Very strange'
He used a small cooker to melt ice to drink, but the ledge was so small he feared setting his clothes alight.
"It was dreadful, it was very strange, I guess I was traumatised by it all," he said.
His rescuers were able to track him down because he had told his girlfriend where he would be walking each day.
Mr Beck said that while he had not been put off mountain walking, he would be more cautious in future.
At London homeless charity Thames Reach Bondway, where Mr Beck works, staff were relieved to hear from him.
"He's in good spirits and we're all relieved he has shown the grit and determination to survive his ordeal," said spokesman Mike Nicholas.

A Magical Ruby Christmas Cruise 2012 : Ruby Princess Cruise Review by jaynak
Overall Member Rating
A Magical Ruby Christmas Cruise 2012
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
This was our third Princess cruise of 2012, so we have recent experience with which to compare this cruise. As well, it was a first cruise for 6 of our 14 family travelling companions -- so it was especially wonderful to view cruising thru their eyes.
We arrived at 11:30 at Port Everglades to the longest line-up I had ever seen. Though we are elite, I wasn't about to abandon my family, so waited with them. The line-up literally flew. We were whisked thru security -- and into the next line before we knew it. Curiously enough, although there were 5 staterooms between the 14 of us, the Princess staff insisted that all 14 of us go up to the check--in lady in ONE group. That seemed like a recipe for disaster but it actually went surprisingly well. Elites and Platinum began boarding More around 12, then group 1 and then us in group 2. For the size of the line-up when we arrived it seemed like the first Christmas miracle had occurred and we were on the ship in record time!
The carolers were in the piazza and the snow machine was 'snowing'. Now, we've come a very long way to get AWAY from snow, but it was pretty anyway. The piazza was decorated beautifully -- very impressive for us all. The Horizon court was next stop -- but oh the line ups! I'm used to being the first to board and therefore arriving at HC early so this was a throw-back to the old days before I was elite! Oh well, we managed to find a couple tables back in Caribe cafe which is always the secret to finding more space. The welcome aboard luncheon featured all the usuals -- I had wondered if it might be different for the holidays? Nonetheless I was happy to load up on my favorite scallops ?.
Next stop was registering my nieces and nephews (ages 7,9,11,13) for the kids club -- at which point we found out there were 950 kids (under 18) on the ship. Oh my! I want to stress at this time that we personally never saw them. Kudos to Princess' staff for keeping these 950 very busy because at no time did we ever, ever have a moments bother by any child. In fact, at the risk of evoking wrath, I'll say that I have been far more annoyed by the behavior of grown-ups barging onto elevators, pushing their way into buffets, ramming me with their scooters and walkers, talking out loud in shows, and treating staff/crew like dirt. These children and teens were amazing. All with smiles on, having the time of their life. My own children (19,20, 23,23), though not exactly children and obviously not included in the 950 count, also had an amazing time. Princess arranged for 18-20 meet/greet events for the first few days after which they were now introduced and planned their own events. My 20 year old won the Pop Star Karaoke event which was a lot of fun as well.
Entertainment: The productions shows are simply amazing. I admit to being a little tired of the shows on other ships. This was our first time on Ruby so maybe that's why we were so impressed but more than that, we were blown away. Once Upon a Dream is spectacular beyond words. DON'T miss it. Stardust also is great. There was a special Christmas show as well -- we could scarce imagine the work that went into that -- just for Christmas. The variety type shows mostly had a night in the Princess theatre and then the next night in the Explorers Lounge. I love that format. (Also love the three shows a night format). Comedian Glenn Hirsch was great both times. His show is clean -- very family friendly -- proving you don't have to swear to get laughs. David Cat's illusionist show was amazing and he was voted one of the top entertainers of last year. I, however, had a hard time getting past his off-putting slide show the first night that had a spoof about Jesus in it. It seemed very untimely to me and I didn't get the point at all.
There was more musical entertainment than I have ever seen on any ship. It was practically non-stop. In October we did a Canada/New England Cruise and honestly my husband was about ready to start playing that big white grand piano himself. There was NO music happening at all -- anywhere! If this plethora of musical entertainment is the doings of Ron Goodman the cruise director then I have to say he is the best CD ever. If Princess is trying to impress all those first time Christmas Cruisers, then I'd say they succeeded but it will be a hard act to follow. Usually we have a couple things circled in the Patter we'd like to see/do. This time, the Patter was one big circle! We didn't even get to some of the venues we usually frequent like the Wheelhouse. One highlight was a backstage tour of the Princess Theatre. They explained all of the high-tech workings and let us see all of the props, costumes, dressing room, etc. One of the performers named Cas stayed extra with us at the end to explain more things and to answer all of our questions!
At this point I'll insert a little negative point I had. Sailaway from Fort Lauderdale was lovely. It was a beautiful sunny day, barely a cloud in the sky. There were quite a number of other ships in port to enjoy viewing as well. The band was playing beautifully. Everyone was enjoying a beverage and dancing around the decks. And then it all came to a crashing halt with the horrid screachingly loud microphone that would not stop. On and on it went for an hour ruining the rest of sailaway. It was deputy cruise director Ryan doing the draws for everything from a free muffin to a free bingo card. Honestly, do they really have to do that then? From that point on I couldn't abide the sound of Ryan's voice. I know he has his fans but I'm not one of them. Perhaps he was just doing his job but really...
On to better things like... Food: We had 5:30 fixed dining. This was way too early. Although we had booked this cruise last February, 6:00 dining time was already fully booked and 8:30 was too late being there were little children in our group. I didn't want to risk anytime dining for a large group. We made 5:30 work. Service with Iryena and Aleksandra was exceptional -- they were fabulous with the children who would much rather have stayed all day at the kids club than eat! Their parents insisted that they learn to dine, but let them go after the main course. Iryena would bring them their meals pronto. Jelena at the door of Michelangelo was most accommodating to our large group and always made us feel so welcome!
We adore the International Cafe and eat most lunches and snacks there, always have a coffee card and enjoy the ambiance of the Piazza a lot. This time was no exception.
We felt the Horizon Court was a little step up on this ship. It seemed there was much more variety than on Emerald. I don't understand for the life of me why the waffles are way out around by the pool. By the time you get them back to the Horizon Court and get your other food they are stone cold.
There was a fabulous kitchen cooking show in the Princess Theatre one day -- hosted by Ron Goodman and featuring the Maitre d' and the head chef. It was hilarious -- they made four or five dishes for us to see, which was followed by a song and dance by some of the kitchen staff. Then there was a brief kitchen tour. However the show was so well attended (the Princess theatre was pretty well packed) that the tour took forever just to have a short walk thru the kitchen. The kitchen tour you get on the chef's table dinner is far more extensive.
This cruise was to celebrate my parents 50th anniversary -- and thus we went to Crown Grill one night. It was truly spectacular. Chito and his helper gave us amazing service. Unfortunately I waited until the morning of day three to reserve so we could only get a booking for day 6 at 9 pm. There were so many family groups on the cruise doing exactly what we were doing that the restaurant was booked solid the whole cruise. Plan ahead! The $25 cover charge is a small price to pay for excellence and you can still eat all you want if that appeals to you! I had the Lobster cake, Black and Blue onion soup, 6 oz Filet and lemon meringue pie. It was all so perfect, I'd have a hard time not ordering the exact same thing another time. My oldest son ordered the 22oz. Porterhouse steak for his main course. As a waiter at a local high end steakhouse, he said it was the best steak he's ever had!
My children had the Ultimate Kids Beverage Card which they made good use of. My husband thought he'd try it this time instead of just getting the soda card (He's a big diet coke drinker) but for the most part I don't think he actually thought to use it for anything other than diet coke! Most of the ultimate drinks are so calorie laden that he thought twice about ordering them anyway.
Christmas activities: Beyond the decorations, snow, carolers, and the Christmas Production Show which I've mentioned, there were many other Christmas touches: Gingerbread house decorating contest, Christmas menu items including gingerbread souffle, stolen all week, turkey dinner of course, Ron Goodman read the Night Before Christmas to the children in the Piazza, Santa came and brought every child a lovely wrapped Princess bear, many staff sang beautifully to us in the Piazza (with Princess Carols hand-outs for all guests to sing-along), Carols played over the speakers (but I noticed they did stop on Dec 26 which was fine), the photo set-ups had Christmassy back-drops to choose from. I may be forgetting some things, but I will say that we didn't for a moment feel like we had missed out on Christmas!
Service and Staff: With one or two minor exceptions, the staff were amazing. Here they were, away from home at Christmas, making it all wonderful for us. We always heard the 'hello' when passing staff in the hallways. We did find service a little sketchy in the Horizon Court. I don't understand why they don't have a soda machine right there for staff to get passengers soda. They push and push the soda card sales at the beginning of the cruise but when you actually want soda in the Horizon Court you seldom get it until you're finished your meal.
Ports: I love Princess Cays. It is clean and safe and has always been a good beach day for me. That's my opinion. For those of you who wish to stay on the ship by all means do!! That's exactly how I now feel about Grand Turk. I did not like that port at all. Unfortunately we arrived several hours after the Carnival ship whose passengers had hogged every single lounger with their towels, but there were very few of them actually on the loungers. Very, very maddening. I admit to saying a few unkind words about Carnival people under my breath (sorry Carnival people). We finally found a little plot of sand that we could put our towels on. If it had not been so sunny we could have just sat near the water but it was so hot you couldn't sit out in the unprotected sun for long -- consequently you needed a spot where the loungers were. The loungers are partly covered in a lovely coconut grove. This would all be great if ONE ship is in port. Otherwise you can sit around the big pool but the noise/music is blaring and all the Margarittaville people are drinking... you get the idea. My kids had booked the Flowrider surf machine which they loved. However, when it was their time to go on it, we moved to the pool area to watch them and 12 loungers away from us was a Carnival passenger puking his guts out on the deck -- NO I am not kidding. In my opinion, the Margaritaville staff should have helped him back to the ship but no, they left him to keep upchucking while his girlfriend yelled at him. It was awful. Someone said he'd been like that for an hour. Finally a staff person came and poured a bottle of water on the pile of grossness. Great solution. I tried to concentrate on the flowrider but with the circus going on near me it was difficult. So that's my Grand Turk memory.
St Thomas: We went to Coki Beach with Godfrey's Tours (have used him a number of times) after shopping for an hour. Coki was great -- clean, lots of fish. Rented loungers, unbrella, snorkels, fins all for $5 each.
St. Maarten: We went on Bernard's Island Tour to Maho Beach, Market in Marigot and Orient Beach. We had about 1 ½ hrs at Maho which is really interesting to watch the planes come and go, then about 45 min at the market and an hour at Orient. With all the driving time though it makes a really full day and another time I wouldn't recommend tackling all that. All we really had time for at Orient was lunch which is priced in euros. If you have cash they do it 1 to 1 ratio. Have cash. It was about $70 for four of us to have tuna melts and a drink. Good and tasty but expensive!
Disembarkation was fairly smooth. We had arranged for a private pick up at 9 am so had 8:20 disembarkation tags. They were running behind in calling colors, so we just walked off anyway. Undoubtedly that is not the proper thing to do but we weren't about to be proper and risk missing our flight. Our international flight from Fort Lauderdale was at 11:30 and we did make it in loads of time. However the Fort Lauderdale airport was extremely busy and I wouldn't suggest booking a flight any earlier at this busy time of year. By the time we checked in with United and then cleared security we only had a half hour to spare.
Summary: Yes, yes, we would cruise at Christmas again. We would cruise on Ruby again and we will cruise Princess again. There is no better way to see the world and to travel with family. Less

Cabin review: BBB749 Balcony
Baja 749 This is a coveted corner aft stateroom. It has a lovely huge balcony with two chairs, two lounger style chairs and a coffee table. The aft railing slightly wraps around the corner giving you further side views. Absolutely no one can see into your balcony except perhaps your neighbour to the right if they really, really tried. The privacy is wonderful. Otherwise the room is identical to all balcony staterooms. The down side is that you definately feel more motion from this location. We have also stayed in C753 (identical but on Caribe) and said we'd never take an aft stateroom again for this reason but memories of the privacy won out and we booked B749 this time. However, we had a very smooth sailing and have to admit that we were both queezy often in this stateroom. We have never experienced this in any other location.Read All Balcony (BB) Reviews >>

Perhaps MoboTap shouldn't have been so surprised. Even before the recent launch of Blackberry PlayBook OS 2.0, Handster said that they would be repacking and submitting apps to BlackBerry App World as a third party on behalf of developers. RIM also came out and encouraged those with third party application stores, like Handster, to submit their catalog to RIM, which is what happened here. But by doing so, Handster gains some control over pricing and other aspects of the app. When Engadget spoke with MoboTap, ther latter confirmed that it had not approved what Handster had done. "We do not condone Handster submitting our Dolphin Browser app to BlackBerry's App World for us and are currently working to take it down and assure Handster will not submit our app for us again. We will assess developing for BlackBerry when the time is right," said the developer of the Dolphin Browser HD.
A quick perusal of BlackBerry App World shows a number of apps submitted by Handster, many free like the Dolphin Browser HD, while many are paid apps. Now that MoboTap has discovered this, we wonder how many other Android developers are having their hard work and sweat equity misappropriated by a third party and placed on Blackberry App World. And even though MoboTap is trying to remove the Dolphin Browser HD from App World, as of Saturday morning the app is still available on the online app store.

Owned by Opera, Handster submitted the Dolphin Browser HD to BlackBerry App World although it was developed by MoboTap

2005 Chevrolet Avalanche Replace Front Brake Pads
From WikituneUp - The Free Service Manual
The brake pads on a 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche are the most frequently maintained part of the braking system, and the condition of the rotors and calipers can be checked while the pads are being replaced. Brake pads shrink over time; and when they begin to get too thin, a metal section is exposed, creating a high-pitched squealing sound whenever the brake pedal is depressed. As soon as that noise begins, make plans to replace the brake pads as soon as possible.
Tools Used[edit]
|Jack stands
|Lug wrench
|Socket wrench
|Screwdriver (Optional)
|Silicone grease
Replace Front Brake Pads[edit]
- Park the vehicle on a flat surface and set the parking brake.
- Loosen the lug nuts on the front tire by turning a lug wrench 1/2 turn on each nut. Place a jack under the front of the truck in the center of the frame. Lift the Avalanche until jack stands can be placed under the front axle. Finish removing the lug nuts then remove the wheel.
- Remove the two bolts holding the caliper in place. Inspect the caliper for damage then carefully hang it from the axle with a short piece of wire so the brake line doesn't get damaged. Inspect the rotor for damage.
- Press in on the brake pad with a C-clamp to fully compress the piston underneath. Pull up and back on the clips that hold the brake pad in place. Remove the brake pad. If the pad is stuck, carefully pry it loose with a flat head screwdriver.
- Dab a small amount of silicone grease on the back of the new brake pads and put them in place. Push the retaining clips closed until they snap into position.
- Reassemble the brake assembly by reversing the steps above. Put the wheel back on the axle and tighten down the lug nuts most of the way. Repeat with the other wheel.
- Remove the jack stands and lower the Avalanche to the ground. Climb in the vehicle and press the brake pedal three or four times to seat the pads.

Miley Cyrus Sucking The Drugs Out of JFK's Brain, Anyone?
I didn't do nearly enough drugs in college to understand a single thing that's happening right now, but here's Miley Cyrus in the new Flaming Lips video "Blonde SuperFreak Steals the Magic Brain" which is apparently about Miley and Moby's minions (Lesbian Bigfoot and Naked Manson Girl, respectively) fighting over JFK's brain because clearly everyone involved in this production looked at Cameron Diaz's face. I warned you this was going to happen, but no, you were all, "Sir, this is a Cinnabon," and "Why is your penis wearing a Batman mask?" It's like I'm talking to myself sometimes.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/3/2010 (2715 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
FARGO, N.D. - Volunteers in North Dakota were in flood-fighting mode again Tuesday filling sandbags while contractors constructed clay levees along the fast-rising Red River to help protect nearby homes from the murky waters.
Officials don't expect the river to get as high as last year's record flood, but near Fargo and neighbouring Moorhead, Minn. it is forecast to crest Saturday about 20 feet above the flood stage. The waters flowing over the river's banks could threaten several houses, roads and parks.
"The citizens are out there working hard and doing a great job," North Dakota Gov. John Hoeven said Tuesday.
Officials asked the community on Monday to step up their efforts to ensure neighbourhoods were well-guarded. More than 415,000 sandbags were delivered to the area and residents cleared out their yards to make way for dikes to be built.
"The feeling of working together here continues to be unusual," Fargo Mayor Dennis Walaker said. "We put out the plea yesterday to ramp up and they did."
Many here are fairly optimistic that they're ready for the flood.
"We're all feeling pretty calm compared to last year," Marc Shannon said Monday, while preparing to build a sandbag dike in his backyard.
Last year, about 100 homes in the area were damaged and thousands of people were evacuated after the Red River rose above the flood stage for a record 61 days and crested twice. Officials say they are better prepared this year for flooding thanks to early stockpiling of sandbags and the building of stronger levees across the region.
Miles of clay levees, more than 1 million sandbags and portable wall systems will be used to help protect an area of about 200,000 people in Cass County, N.D., and Clay County, Minn. Clay County Sheriff Bill Bergquist said a handful of residents outside the city left their houses mainly because they don't want to be stranded by overland flooding.
"Everybody has to understand that this is for real," Walaker said.
In Minnesota, Gov. Tim Pawlenty declared a state of emergency Monday in 28 counties affected by potential flooding across western, southern, central and eastern parts of the state. The order activated the National Guard to help with flood preparations and provide emergency relief.
Fargo resident Karry Hoganson was chopping down an evergreen tree in his neighbour's backyard to help make room for a sandbag dike. When he bought his house in 2002, Hoganson said historical figures showed he would be sandbagging once every 10 years. But it's been more like every other year, he said.
"I chose to live on the river. I'm not looking for sympathy," he said. "I bought it for the view. I love it here."
Sandbags - weighing about 20 pounds each - filled palates that lined streets and cul-de-sacs in several neighbourhoods of higher-end homes along the river in south Fargo.
Over the next couple days, residents will stack the sandbags in an attempt to keep the river's waters from their homes. In Dan Sholy's neighbourhood the dike will be 9 feet wide and 3 feet high.
While helping to unload the sandbag palates in front of his home, Sholy said he wasn't too concerned about the flood.
"Right now they're are getting everything all flagged and marked for the dikes," he said.

Passers by pull girl from flooded river
Passers by pull girl from flooded river
Police say a tragedy was averted in Blenheim today when members of the public came to the aid of a young girl being swept down the Taylor River.
Police were alerted to the incident about 8.45am where it was reported a girl who was walking to school was swept away in the flooded river near High St.
A 17 year old male and another man chased the girl along the river bank and eventually recovered her from the water near Beaver Road.
The 12 year old girl has been taken to hospital in a serious condition. The teenager has also been taken to hospital suffering mild hypothermia, but the other male rescuer did not require medical attention.
Senior Sergeant Dan Mattison said the quick actions of the teenage boy and the other man involved in the rescue had saved the girl's life.

Canada's Natural Resources Minister, Joe Oliver, is on a mission to make India think of Canada as it hunts for solutions to its acute energy shortage.
Canada did $5.1-billion worth of trade with India last year, but only $4-million of it – "let's call it zero" – was in energy, the minister said in an interview in the Indian capital earlier this week. The two nations have pledged to triple the amount of their trade in three years and "the way that will dramatically increase is natural resources," Mr. Oliver said.
He is using his time in the Indian capital – and a visit to Mumbai – to pitch the scale of Canada's energy reserves to government and industry groups. The minister's sales job involves emphasizing, first, the immensity of Canada's natural resource base (he rattles off statistics on potash, uranium, gas and oil production); second, Canada's synergy with India (including "shared values" such as democracy); and third, the many needs India has that Canada could meet, including supplying oil, gas and expertise in development of energy infrastructure such as hydroelectric transmission.
Behind many of his remarks was a hint that Canada has been slow to capitalize on India's emergence as an economic power and the size of its consumer market.
Developing the Indian market is an urgent priority for the government, he said, because of inevitable looming changes in Canada's energy exports. "One hundred per cent of our energy exports have gone to the United States, but that will not continue" because large reserves of shale gas and oil found there will reduce the need for Canadian imports. Meanwhile, Canada's production of liquid natural gas is rising sharply. "Now we've got totally new sources as we're looking at a market that is declining," he said. "We haven't been asleep at the switch, but there's a new reality."
India's energy supply gap is 8 per cent and growing; it relies on rapidly depleting coal reserves, and oil and gas imports, mostly from Saudi Arabia and Iran.
Canada has the appeal of being a stable country with a transparent, free market system – as Mr. Oliver reminded a room full of international delegates on Tuesday at a global seminar on energy – but developing a market in Asia would mean higher transport costs, and, for India, longer delivery times than those from its current suppliers.
Mr. Oliver said he had spoken to "quite a few ministers" during his visit who emphasized India's need to diversify its energy suppliers for the sake of the country's long-term strategic security. "Even if they can get all the [liquid natural gas] they need from Qatar, is that a smart thing for a country this size to do? Obviously not."
And while the Indian government is broadly aware of Canada's potential – and anyone contemplating a large investment certainly is – Canada doesn't yet have the profile it needs, he said. "We've got to get on the job. It's very important for them to hear from our government that we're open for business and keen on enlarging trade. It's important for companies to hear. … In a country of 1.2 billion, I don't think we're particularly well known. There's a need to try to tell the story more."
Canada and India recently concluded a fifth round of negotiations toward a free-trade pact, and Prime Minister Stephen Harper is expected to bring another business delegation here before the end of the year. Mr. Oliver also pointed out to his Delhi audiences that his visit brings to more than 20 the number of trips to the country by Canadian cabinet ministers since 2006 – a sign, he said, of the depth of Canada's interest in building its relationship with India.
But he is in Delhi as the International Monetary Fund's closely watched World Economic Outlook is saying that India's level of growth this year will fall below 5 per cent, which would have been unthinkable a couple of years ago. There is a steady diet of grim economic news here, including tanking corporate earnings, a weakening rupee, and legislation meant to reform opaque taxation and land acquisition regimens that repeatedly dies in a paralyzed parliament.
In fact, a "bland" statement Mr. Oliver made at an industry event on Monday – pointing out that "companies want predictability and certainty" in the regulatory environment in foreign countries where they invest – made headlines here; the highly critical business press seized on an apparent example of an outsider making veiled criticism of government waffling on economic reform.
But Mr. Oliver said he was merely "stating the obvious" and that he has "no concerns at all about Canadian producers dealing with companies here." And he dismissed the idea that India's woes should in any way diminish his government's aggressive pursuit of opportunity here.
"What we're talking about here is not responding to the cyclicality of economic growth in this country – we're talking about fundamental secular trends," he said, "and I've got to say, the number they are slowing down to is unobtainable for the developed countries."
Mr. Oliver said he "remains hopeful" that India and Canada will resolve outstanding issues and finalize a nuclear deal soon. While Mr. Harper and his Indian counterpart, Manmohan Singh, signed the deal in 2010, it has yet to be implemented due to disagreement over how nuclear material from Canada will be monitored. Canada wants the ability to verify that it is used for peaceful purposes (in the 1970s, India developed its first nuclear weapons through covert use of Canadian nuclear technology), but India calls that paternalistic and insists its reporting to the International Atomic Energy Agency must suffice. People close to the negotiations have told The Globe and Mail that the two sides remain deeply divided on this.
Mr. Oliver disagreed. "I don't think there's that big a gulf," he said. "We're keen to see it finalized. We're onside."
But he added that this does not mean that Canada will relax its requirements. "We're very anxious [to finalize] but I wouldn't say we're desperate. … We have responsibilities under the international non-proliferation commitments" and those will be honoured, he said.Report Typo/Error

Hurricane Sandy Serves as 'Wake-Up Call' to the Dangers of Rising Sea Levels

Skip to content
This story is based on a radio interview. Listen to the full interview.
Lisa Mullins: Powerful storms such as Sandy threaten coastal defenses around the world. At the same time, sea levels are rising around the world, and all credible forecasts are for them to continue to rise. The only disagreement is over how fast that rise will be. Geophysicist Klaus Jacob has written extensively about rising sea levels and how they endanger global infrastructure. Jacob is a senior research scientist at Columbia University. He says the so-called "super levees" used in Japan offer important examples about the possibilities and the limits of using engineering to counter the forces of nature.
Klaus Jacob: A super levee is a very massive structure with very wide top where you can actually build a road on. The Japanese have built such super levees, in which, actually, highways run; and you can put even some businesses on that structure. So, the structure is not only a protection for the lowlands behind it; it becomes, actually, a place where livelihoods can take place. Not just for transportation, but you can have little shopping malls and other businesses along it.
Mullins: It sounds like putting a highway or a business on top of a dam.
Jacob: That's exactly what it is.
Mullins: So, how good are these super levees at guarding the infrastructure?
Jacob: They are good for a finite lifetime, and that's the problem with these engineered solutions as sea-level rise keeps going, because not only will the oceans get warmer and continue to expand, but also with a warmer atmosphere, ice will melt in Greenland and Antarctica that will flow into the ocean and contribute to sea-level rise. And therefore, sooner or later they cannot function as a protecting engineering structure. We have seen that already; for instance, when the levees and pumping systems were not kept u in New Orleans, we had Katrina Hurricane in 2005: a catastrophe.
Mullins: Let me ask you one other thing. This is about Bangladesh, a developing country which is particularly vulnerable, but also a place where there have been rather ingenious ways that local people have found to protect the infrastructure there.
Jacob: Bangladesh is a developing country that gets flooded from the typhoons from the ocean side and from the rivers from the other side. So, they have been ingenious: they've built levees and they've built shelters on the levees They come in two forms: some are designed in concrete structures where the entire village can go during a typhoon, or they come in form of trees on the levees where they can climb in the trees and survive a few hours in the trees before the waters recede. That is the cheap version of ingenious protection of the population.
Mullins: How relevant are all these solutions to what the United States is facing right now with Hurricane Sandy?
Jacob: They have two choices. One, we spend a few billions of dollars in any given city to protect us, or we will suffer from incurring a hundred billion dollars from a storm like this or stronger in the future.
Mullins: A hundred billion dollars from what kind of damage?
Jacob: From a hundred-year storm, you can expect damages on the order of fifty to a hundred billion dollars, not millions.
Mullins: Do you, yourself, Klaus, in closing here, see Hurricane Sandy not just as a disaster but also as kind of a wakeup call?
Jacob: While we had one wakeup call last year under the name of Irene, we got away with less than we will most likely incur from Sandy. The question is, "How many wakeup calls do we need in order to get out of our snoozing, sleeping, dreaming warning attitude?" We have to get into action. We have to set priorities and spend money. For every one dollar invested in protection, you get a return of four dollars of not-incurred losses.
Mullins: Thank you. Klaus Jacob, geophysicist and senior research scientist at Columbia University. Thank you again.
Jacob: You're welcome.

(CNSNews.com) - Three American Catholic cardinals are reportedly scheduled to meet with victims of sexual abuse by priests Wednesday, one day before the U.S. Catholic bishops meet to discuss how to handle the church's sex abuse scandal as well as future cases.
According to the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP), 25 sex abuse survivors are due to meet this week with Cardinals Theodore McCarrick of Washington, D.C., William Keeler of Baltimore, Md. and Roger Mahoney of Los Angeles, Calif.
Archbishop Harry Flynn of St. Paul-Minneapolis, Minn., chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Ad Hoc Committee on Sexual Abuse, will reportedly also attend.
Phone calls placed to the Archdioceses' communications offices in Los Angeles, Baltimore, Washington and St. Paul-Minneapolis were not returned.
According to SNAP, the 25 people meeting with the cardinals and archbishop are planning to provide brief personal introductions, discuss the impact sexual abuse has had on their lives, and offer suggestions on how the church can help victims heal and prevent future abuse.
David Clohessy, director of SNAP, said he hopes the meeting will make the clergy realize how urgently new action is needed.
"This is the first time that a group of church leaders is meeting with a group of clerical sexual abuse victims," Clohessy said. "We hope it will be the catalyst for substantial changes in the church that will protect children and help survivors of childhood clerical sexual abuse to heal."
"We believe that our best chance of reaching the cardinals' hearts is in an intimate setting like this," said Barbara Blaine, founder of SNAP. "We hope to have a very frank dialogue."
Patrick Scully, spokesman for the Catholic League, said if there is anyone who should have the ear of the cardinals, "it is the abuse victims."
"I certainly think the bishops and the cardinals could benefit from hearing from the people who were so negatively affected by this," Scully said. "I can't think of a better group to have their say than SNAP."
However, Scully said while SNAP should be listened to, not all their ideas should become church policy.
"I think just because they are the people who have the right to speak doesn't mean that everything they are saying should become policy," he said. "To enact a lot of it is dangerous."
Scully pointed to the various ideas being offered by victims' groups and lawyers, such as lifting the statute of limitations on sexual abuse cases involving priests and lifting confidentiality agreements of any cases if they were made with the church, should simply be ignored.
"The church should not be above the law, but is not below the law," he said. "The letter of the law should apply across the board.
"I think it is very positive that the abuse victims have their say, but some of the things they are saying - I don't think we should necessarily go ahead with because a lot of it is not only unconstitutional, but also patently unfair," Scully said.
