MAGNY-COURS, France -- Sebastien Bourdais has no chance of winning his home Grand Prix of France this weekend.
Possible winners are, of course, the Ferrari duo of Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa as well as Vodafone McLaren Mercedes teammates Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainen. As Robert Kubica proved in Canada, he and BMW Sauber teammate Nick Heidfeld have a shot at victory as well.
Wild-card winners include Fernando Alonso in his Renault, Nico Rosberg in his Williams Toyota and Mark Webber or David Coulthard in their Red Bull Renaults.
But Bourdais in a Toro Rosso Ferrari? At most, he can hope for a point or two if he can finish in the top eight.
That's quite a shift for a guy who won 28 Champ Car races on his way to earning four consecutive championships. But it is a mindset that Bourdais knew he had to adopt even before he stepped foot in a car to begin testing for his Formula One debut season.
"It does not matter what you are fighting for," he said. "You just are doing your job and doing the best you can, and then you end up where you end up.
"For me it was always very clear. It is trying to enjoy yourself, which is the first target, and give your best for yourself and for the team. And then if the car is only good enough for 15th and you finish 12th it is sometimes even more satisfying than winning a race with a car that everybody knows is capable of winning. You just need to reset yourself a bit."
The car and the team make all the difference whether a driver can win or not in F1. Bourdais' Toro Rosso has the same Ferrari V-8 engine as in the Ferraris of Massa and Raikkonen, but the Toro Rosso team is not the Ferrari team.
"In Champ Car, I won the championship in my second season," Bourdais said earlier this year, "and I could have been a contender in my first. But here it is a different game; nobody has the same equipment so you're not playing by the same rules. If you have a McLaren or Ferrari you have more chance of winning. If you don't, then just scoring some points will feel like a win."
Bourdais' rookie F1 season started off with a bang. He was in an outstanding fourth place in his first Grand Prix, in Australia, when his engine blew with just four laps to go. Still, he was classed seventh and salvaged two points.
Since then, however, good results have eluded the Frenchman.
Mechanical problems eliminated him from two races and accidents from two more. The only time he made it to the finish line was in Bahrain, where he crossed the line in 15th, and Canada, where he was 13th.
Toro Rosso decided to start the season with an updated version of its 2007 STR2 car. The team reasoned that it could pick up some points with a well sorted out car while other teams were still getting to know their new cars. Besides, the 2008 STR3 was not ready in time.
The strategy didn't pay off as Bourdais and teammate Sebastian Vettel failed to finish many races. The debut of the STR3 was further delayed by one race when Bourdais destroyed one in a testing accident.
Still, the team did the correct thing by delaying the new car, says Vettel.
"It was the right decision to start the season with a car that we knew from before," Vettel explained. "So now we have had the chance to test the new car. Obviously it is not enough, you never get enough testing, but it is good."
Finally, the new cars showed up for the Monaco Grand Prix at the end of May.
"We are on a steep learning curve with the new car and are going to make progress," Bourdais said. "We know that the new car is faster. It is just about trying to get it right and put everything together.
"We did not show what we wanted to show in Monaco because we were lost in the setups because of lack of knowledge, and because the track is so atypical that it is difficult to be spot on."
Bourdais struggled on the street track in Montreal as well. Having raced on the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve and done well there in Champ Cars, Bourdais was looking forward to the Canadian Grand Prix. But he had a miserable weekend because of the crumbling track.
"I could not do anything with the car," he said afterwards. "I went slightly off the line and got on the gravel. If this happens once or twice you are concerned it can happen again which is not good, especially when you're running last.
"It was a complete disaster for me so I just forgot about the possibility of trying to drive fast, just tried to bring the car home and even doing this was a challenge.
"This was the worst race ever for me, the worst weekend of my entire career. I have never experienced anything like it. I'm looking forward now to the next race, my home race and at a circuit where the track doesn't break up!"
Team co-owner Gerhard Berger fully supports Bourdais.
"His first race he could have finished fourth," Berger told ESPN.com "And that race in Australia is always a tricky one; there is always a lot of incidents, yellow flags and that type of thing, showed that he is really a racer because he did not get flustered. He reacted well to each situation. That is the sort of experience that money can't buy and he learned it from wheel-to-wheel racing in America.
"He has struggled a bit since then, at some tracks more than others.
But he is facing a steep learning curve. He is still a novice at F1.
We are happy with what he has done so far."
Pressure is always there, and you are the one who puts it there. You want to do well. It doesn't matter where you are.
-- Sebastien Bourdais
Having tested the new car in Barcelona last week, Bourdais is confident that he and the team will have a much better race weekend in France than they did in Monaco or Canada.
The team was just guessing at chassis setups for the new car in the last two races. Now that they have been able to test again they can now head in the right direction.
"We have had a disastrous last four races," Bourdais admitted candidly. "It has been quite disappointing. We have been in positions where we might have done quite well, like Spain and Turkey, but things went wrong. It is part of your career as a race driver: Sometimes it goes your way and sometimes it doesn't, but you just have to keep working and plugging away."
When he was a kid, Bourdais didn't dream of racing in his home Grand Prix because in the beginning he was just racing for fun. But he is looking forward to racing in front of the French fans.
Ticket sales are up 12 percent this year at the Magny-Cours track, no doubt due in part to Bourdais racing. An entire section of the grandstand seats in front of the Toro Rosso pit has been sold to the Bourdais fan club.
"To come here and race in front of your home crowd is a bit special,"
Bourdais told ESPN.com.
But he feels no extra pressure racing at home.
"Pressure is always there, and you are the one who puts it there," he said. "You want to do well. It doesn't matter where you are. If we perform well here and have a strong result it would mean more than somewhere else. But if you put more effort here than anywhere else then it means that you are not giving 100 percent everywhere. So I am going to drive as best as I can and do the same job I always do."
Bourdais won't win the French Grand Prix. But a solid race, even if he doesn't get into the points, will mark a turnaround point for his rookie F1 season.
"The pace is there," he said. "It is just that things have not gone our way. Nobody cares about excuses or reasons; you just need to get the results. It has been a bit tough lately but at some point it will turn around."

So I have few short days to prepare to confront my love about my mistakes and how I feel about her. She will very much stop talking to me and reject me again, but I still wanted to meet her and apologize about my mistake because the guilt is killing me. I did not cheat on her or anything, its just that I rudely started ignoring her out of a personal reason, she might or might not will to understand.
So yeah, also I'm bald... out of choice. What should I wear? its the first time Im actually asking a girl to come out somewhere and meet me. Its a milestone for me :P

Today, Ukraine holds the unwanted title of being one of the world leaders in global prostitution — a reality fueled by the country's harsh economic climate since emerging from the former Soviet Union. Despite the fervent efforts of anti-sex-tourism groups such as FEMEN, the illegal industry, which exploits children as well as women, is booming.

BOSTON -- Looking back, Elton Brand saw the missed opportunity.
When Paul Pierce fouled out with 4:16 to go in the fourth quarter, the Philadelphia 76ers were still within striking distance to overcome the Celtics three-point lead.
But they didnt.
We didn't attack those guys as aggressively as we should have with such a prolific scorer on the bench, Brand said after the Celtics 85-75 Game 7 win.
Instead, the Celtics rallied around their captain and pulled together a 14-7 run to close out the Eastern Conference Semifinals and advance to the Conference Finals against the Miami Heat.
Pierce was frustrated to watch his team from the sidelines, but proud after he watched them pull together.
I was very disappointed, said Pierce (15 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists). No one goes out there and tries to foul out. I want to be out there and play when my team needs me. But I was put in a situation to where the previous two fouls before that where I felt like I had to take fouls, didnt want to give up any easy buckets. At the end of the day, its all for the team. Our coach is always saying give yourself up for the team, and thats what I was trying to do.
With Pierce on the bench, Rondo scored the Celtics next nine points and the Celtics pushed the lead to 10 four times. They clamped down on defense and stopped the 76ers from putting together another streaky run like they had done at points throughout the series.
Rather than lamenting a season-ending loss without their captain down the stretch, the Celtics are looking ahead to their trip to South Beach Sunday morning.
It says a lot, said Pierce. With me out, one of our primary scoring options, guys came together, showed some resolve. Other guys stepped up defensively. Offensively, Rondo did what he had to do and were sitting here talking about going to Miami tomorrow. So its a great feeling, especially not being able to play the last few minutes.

Interesting Not a bad app. And as I have said, it's very interesting. I wish the images were a little more clear, though.

Rubbish This is not biblical nor is it accurate. This is nonsense just like tarrot cards and other garbage. Have respect for the REAL angels and stay away from this crystal wearing crap.
Brittany A
I like it. I guess there is a paid version, which would eliminate the adds, but overall, for a free app, I love this. I get to learn more about the archangels, and that always helps me since I work with them day to day. This helps me to help call upon the Angel who's energy best suits my intention. Thank you!

Rick Howiler
Razial This is beautiful! I once had an a divine experience and have spoken with a Angel. I know that God's Angels only listen to God and they only have a interest in doing his will not mine or yours. I tell you the truth if you need help ask God not his Angel. If God sees fit he will send his Angel to help. His Angel will not respond to you only God. I know that God disapproves of this so im forced to give this a poor rating. This will greatly mislead people in there prayers and the Tara cards are false.
Mack Pedro
Helps me stay optimistic I believe that there are Angeles among us. Just believe with all your heart. You'll be surprised.
Beth Ortiz
I love and you should too...if you believe

I love it truely
Priestessa K
Archangels Absolute disappointment I purchased to be able to view cards for yes no as it said i needed to do that! and it doesnt let me view meaning of card. Rediculous and annoying that i cant reverse my payment and cancel it. I think its wrong to offer access to card meanings, request purchase and it doesn't allow u to view the meaning of card selected. Not happy at all. It's the principle Not happy! Also the Elohim doesnt function either. Its not complete hence should not be asking for money. Music in bg is nice
Lizard Wallace
Love asking my questions that linger in the back of my mind. Just to see what the Angels say..... I Believe

Is it possible to batch reclassify devices? I am running the Beta of v2 and need to reclassify 60+ devices. I am doing it manually at the moment which is no great shakes but I was wondering if there was a quicker way.
This topic was created during version 1.7.

In the tool bar you'll notice an 'Action' menu. Selecting "Reclassify" from that menu will present you the ability to select multiple devices at a time and reclassify them.
Dec 12, 2007 at 12:01 UTC
thanks very much, that saved me a lot of time.
Dec 28, 2007 at 8:46 UTC
Feature request:
I'd like to be able to select all devices currently on the screen.
All of our Wyse thin clients come up as SNMP networking devices. I can click on the manufacturer and choose "Others like this" and get a screen with all devices with Wyse Tech listed as the manufacturer. But to reclassify them I still have to either do them 1 at a time, or write down all of the IP's so I can find the in Actions -> Reclassify, since Actions -> reclassify still shows ALL devices, not just the ones in the current context.

I picked up some fondant today at a local caker who also supplies fondant. She was working on a big, beautiful wedding cake - thing is, she was sick as a dog! Like REALLY sick. She looked feverish and glassy-eyed and was coughing. I just got over the flu so I'm all-too-familiar with that look and I told her that she should be in bed but she said that she's a one-woman show and that she had no one to help her. I suggested that she wear a mask because all I kept thinking of was that poor bride and groom and all their guests that would be eating cake that had been thoroughly coughed on. Along with their buttercream would be a nice helping of VIRUS.
Got me wondering what other one-woman/man show cakers do in case of illness. I really hope everyone wears a mask (and gloves) at least if you really can't take time off to be sick.
Yuck, yuck and yuck!!!! I remember a whole thread on this last year -- it seemed that most people had a reciprocal agreement with another baker in town that, if one got too sick to work, the other would fill their orders.
Oh yuck!!!!
I definitely take precautions if I have a cold and I'm caking....
I always wear gloves when I'm decorating, baking etc. (I cannot stand anything sticky on my hands). If I were sick I would definetely wear a mask if I did the cake at all. I have heard of some decorators that have a back up plan in case of illness, someone they trust to take care of their customers needs when they are unable to.
wow !! thats gross
I think after taking all them food handling classes its a must to be extra careful. after learning about all the diseases. But regardless I think its common sence.
It is gross, I try not to think of what people do to my food when I am out......or I would never eat out lol..........about every place you eat, if you look out back people from the kitchen are standing out side smoking....and letting the flies in to crawl all over your bacon and eggs........ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ew. That's just nasty.
I don't get sick until I go on vacation. If I ended up in traction somewhere I have cake friends who could help me out.
Call me a germophobe, but that's exactly why I don't like to eat out. Unless it's prepared by me, I have no idea what it's been through.
I tend to get paranoid about restaurant food as well. I guess that's why we don't eat out or order in too often!
It's not being paranoid, a germophobe or anything else, it's basic hygeine and using common sense! I won't eat somewhere where the bathroom is nasty. If the bathroom is nasty, and the employees use that bathroom, then I know there is no way they are washing their hands properly.
Yes, I think people should wear hair nets, masks if there actively coughing and never do anything if you have a fever. ugh.
Another thing that grosses me out..I watch some of these cake shows on tv, I see people pulling their hair back or scratching their nose or whatever then go right back to working on the fondant. I suppose I am a supreme germophobe....but that's basic hygeine 101...wash or sanitize hands afterwards.
It's not being paranoid, a germophobe or anything else, it's basic hygeine and using common sense! I won't eat somewhere where the bathroom is nasty. If the bathroom is nasty, and the employees use that bathroom, then I know there is no way they are washing their hands properly.
I always laugh to myself each time I see the sign in these restrooms that say "employees must wash hands before returning to work" well...DUH...
ive often wondered this my self! im not a germaphobe or anything, but i do sanatise my kitchen before making a cake, i only do for friends and family but i dont think i could forgive myself if i made some one ill or anything! Ive seen to many 'Caught on Camera' Tv shows to allow my self to eat out lmao, I wont go into detail, but several recipes included ciggerette ash, Dirty dish water, items taken from the bottom of a trash can, And spit . . .il stop now before i make myself ill lol.
I've noticed that too!! People touching their hair and noses (or hair in their noses - lol) totally grosses me out!!
How awful!! I was horribly sick last week so I didn't bake a thing even though I have a holiday to get ready for this weekend. It might make for a crazier week now, but I couldn't possibly bake something while sick and then serve it to my guests or give as gifts (part of the tradition)!
This would be when I would make a note not to order a cake from this store. I hope your fondant was well sealed!
I am a major hand washer, and very careful about these things.
AND with GOOD reason!!
My son contracted bacterial meningitus. This was before thre was Vaccination awareness on TV.. Back in June 1996.. THANK GOD he is 100% fine. many others not so lucky.. its heartbreaking...My point is that that being a life and death , get antibiotics NOW (literally) is contracted by things like sharing soda so a cough...SAME THING!! NOT COOL. we almost lost him several times...
We learned our lesson and DRILL our children to NOT SHARE foods and drinks PERIOD.(Not with anyone) some people have it and it affects them like the flu or a cold yet they manage to fight it off with out realizing how sick they are or could make others (so is it the flu???) The first ER Dr. sent us home thinking my son had the flu and poison ivy.. (SO DID I.) He was notorious for getting into poison ivy
..My son couldnt fight it off...But whoever he shared a soda with did...
Just be careful when your sick PLEASE!
This is just a tiny piece from the CDC...
Q: Is bacterial meningitis contagious?
A: Yes, some forms of bacterial meningitis are contagious. The bacteria can mainly be spread from person to person through the exchange of respiratory and throat secretions. This can occur through coughing, kissing, and sneezing. Fortunately, none of the bacteria that cause meningitis are as contagious as things like the common cold or the flu. Also, the bacteria are not spread by casual contact or by simply breathing the air where a person with meningitis has been.
I'm coughing with a runny nose and ear infection right now. I'm actually dry heaving off and on because I'm coughing that bad. I called off work again because I work in a dietary department for those with compromised immune systems. It's not worth the risk. I won't get a paycheck this week but I'm ok with that, even if my wallet isn't.
I've had to work while somewhat sick before (not at this job). I wore gloves and a mask and only did the limited amount of work I had to do before I left in a hurry. The things anyone else could do I let them, I only did the work only I knew how to do. I'm surprised this lady didn't have someone to call on to help her in this situation.
I'm big on sanitation. I always wear a hairnet/ball cap. If one of my kids are sick and I'm not I still wear a mask and gloves just in case the virus is in my system and not showing up yet. I take a lint roller to my chefs jacket to make sure no loose hair is on it somewhere.
Food borne illness is a very serious issue that a lot of people take too lightly.
Oh and as a side note, I only will eat at places that I know how clean it is. Open kitchen restaurants are usually pretty decent because they know people can see what they are doing. I won't eat somewhere when I see them walking into the bathroom with their apron or chef jacket on. I take mine off and leave it hanging up in the kitchen before I use the restroom. If I eat anything while I have an apron on or take the trash out, that apron is now dirty and must be changed. Pretty simple, but yet so many forget to do it.
I tend to wear gloves regardless of how I"m feeling ( just because people ask too many questions about why my hands are purple /green/blue/etc. all the time lol)
HOWEVER, I generally will feel a cold or something coming on, and I will either try to reschedule the orders I have for that week or try to finish them up quickly (with a mask) and deliver them early!
I have the same issue. Its just me. If I get sick, Im screwed. This happened two weeks ago. I had 4 cakes to do in one weekend and my son had developed a cold a few days prior. I ended up getting a bit of congestion and a scratchy throat.
I went to the store, got hand sanitizer, disinfectant, disinfectant wipes, gloves, and masks.
I wasnt even really feeling that bad, but I tell ya...there is NO way I could stand the thought of infecting 400 people in one weekend.
You would have thought I was performing surgery on that cake. lol.
If I ever get really sick, or some emergency happens, I have been trying my very best to stay on the good side of all the other local custom cake bakeries. I actually have all their phone numbers on hand! This way if something happens to me, my customers WILL have a cake. And my hubby knows the drill too, so if I cant..he will be calling them for me.
I suggest trying to be friendly with another decorator, or bakery. This way you have some sort of backup.
I know it may be hard to do that with competition, because some people are downright brutal when it comes to dealing with your competition...but I like to have as many allies as I can.
That's how Typhoid Mary passed on the disease...thru food. She worked as a cook in people's homes. She was a healthy carrier of typhoid feever but she passed the illness on to 53 people, killing 3 of them.
It's really quite gross that she would work on a cake when she's sick. The flu virus can live for 48 hours+ on surfaces.

pairing: JamesxScorpius, prompt: poison
James pressed his lips to Scorpius. He couldn't help the soft moan that escaped his lips. His love was like a poison. It spread throughout his body, burning as it went. In the end, they would both end up hurt and alone. But they still had time. Time to be together, to caress each others body, to live in their love.
Scorpius broke away. "James, we should really do our Charms essay."
James chuckled. "I have plenty of time for that later. Right now, I just want to kiss you."
Scorpius grinned. "All right, but just for a few more minutes."
Their lips crashed together again, as their arms wrapped around each other. His fingers tangled themselves into Scorpius' silky hair, while Scorpius clutched at James' shirt.
If anyone found out, it would cause a huge scandal. The Malfoy heir being intimate with the Potter heir. What would their parents say?
They both knew it would end sadly, but neither could bring themselves to care. They pushed the thoughts into the farthest recess of the mind. James couldn't think of a life without Scorpius, and he didn't want too. The poison inside would kill them both, but they swore they'd enjoy every minute of it.
They had each other now, and that's all that would matter.

Scratch Bakers-Organic Strawberry Powder In Strawberry Cake?
Decorating By tigachu Updated 15 Oct 2011 , 6:58pm by tigachu
I just purchased this organic strawberry powder from nuts online. com: http://www.nutsonline.com/driedfruit/strawberries/organic-powder.html
What do you think about using this in a strawberry cake in addition to pureed strawberries? I think it would impart a nice pink hue and add a bit more strawberry flavor, too. I think I should treat this as flour but I am not sure if I could just add it to the liquids. What would you do? Do you think this is a good idea?
I'd try it without adjusting your flour first. While it is dry, it is not the same as flour. If you are adding a couple TBSP it isn't going to make much of a difference in the dry to wet ratio anyway. It is however going to add some acidity. I'd try it just as an addidtion first and see what it does to the cake.
thanks, I will try that first

After the death of the prophet Muhammad in Medina in 632 CE, his followers on the Arabian peninsula expanded quickly in all directions, creating an empire which only one hundred years later came to include not only all of the Middle East and much of Central Asia, but also North Africa and the Iberian peninsula. This was known as the "caliphate," from khalifa, meaning "succession." Yet it was difficult to keep such a large political entity together and there were conflicts regarding who should be regarded as the rightful heir to the prophet. Thus the first caliphate was soon replaced by a second, a third and a fourth, each one controlled by rivaling factions. The first caliphate, the Rashidun Caliphate, 632-661 CE, was led by the sahabah, the "companions" who were the family and friends of the prophet and who all were drawn from Muhammad's own, Quraysh, tribe. The second caliphate, the Umayyads, 661-750 CE, moved the capital to Damascus in Syria, and while it did not last long, one of its offshoots established itself in today's Spain and Portugal, known as al-Andalus, and made Cordoba into a thriving, multicultural, center of arts and learning.
Yet it was during the third caliphate, the Abbasids, 750-1258 CE, that cultural and intellectual power was exercised to the greatest effect. Although this caliphate too began to fall into pieces almost as soon as it was established, it too was famous for its cultural achievements. The Abbasids presided over what is often referred to as the "Islamic Golden Age," during which science, technology, philosophy and the arts made great advances, and their capital, Baghdad, became a center in which Islamic learning combined with influences from East Asia, China, Persia and the Middle East. These achievements came to an abrupt halt when the Mongols invaded Baghdad in 1258 and sacked the city. From now on it was instead Cairo that constituted the center of the Muslim world. Indeed, the fourth caliphate, the Fatimid Caliphate, 909—1171 CE, were the ones who in 969 built the city of Cairo to serve as its capital. Yet the Fatimids too were quickly undermined, in this case by their own soldiers, an elite corps of warriors known as the Mamluks. The next Muslim empire to call itself a "caliphate" was instead the Ottoman empire, 1453-1923 CE. Although the Ottomans were Muslims, they were not Arabs but Turks, and they had their origin in Central Asia, not on the Arabian peninsula. The Ottoman empire was abolished in 1922 and the caliphate discontinued two years later.
Despite the continuing story of political infighting and fragmentation, the idea of the caliphate continues to exercise a strong rhetorical force in the Muslim world to this day. During the caliphates the Arab world experienced an unprecedented economic prosperity and a cultural and intellectual flourishing which made them powerful and admired throughout the then known world. The caliphate represented the best hopes of mankind. The capitals of the caliphates were great centers of civilization. Not surprisingly perhaps the idea of restoring the caliphate is still alive today among radical Islamic groups who want to unite the Muslim world, restore Muslim self-confidence, and take a stand against European and North American imperialism.

Climate plan could change sky colour
SCIENTIST Tim Flannery has proposed a radical solution to climate change which may change the colour of the sky.
But he says it may be necessary, as the "last barrier to climate collapse."
Professor Flannery says climate change is happening so quickly that mankind may need to pump sulphur into the atmosphere to survive.
Australia's best-known expert on global warming has updated his climate forecast for the world - and it's much worse than he thought just three years ago.
He has called for a radical suite of emergency measures to be put in place.
The gas sulphur could be inserted into the earth's stratosphere to keep out the sun's rays and slow global warming, a process called global dimming.
"It would change the colour of the sky," Prof Flannery told AAP.
"It's the last resort that we have, it's the last barrier to a climate collapse.
"We need to be ready to start doing it in perhaps five years time if we fail to achieve what we're trying to achieve."
Prof Flannery, the 2007 Australian of the Year, said the sulphur could be dispersed above the earth's surface by adding it to jet fuel.
He conceded there were risks to global dimming via sulphur.
"The consequences of doing that are unknown."
'Cutting emissions not enough'
Professor Flannery, who spoke at a business and sustainability conference in Parliament House today, said new science showed the world was much more susceptible to greenhouse gas emissions that had been thought eight years ago.
Regardless of what happened to emissions in the future, there was already far too much greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, he said.
Cutting emissions was not enough. Mankind now had to take greenhouse gases out of the air.
"The current burden of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere is in fact more than sufficient to cause catastrophic climate change," Prof Flannery said.
"Everything's going in the wrong direction at the moment, timelines are getting shorter, the amount of pollution in the atmosphere is growing.
"It's extremely urgent."
'Use eBay to plant forests'
As well as the global dimming plan, Prof Flannery said carbon should be taken out of the air and converted into charcoal, then ploughed into farmers' fields.
Wealthy people should pay poor farmers in tropical zones to plant forests - possibly through a direct purchase scheme like the eBay website.
And all conventional coal-fired power stations - which did not have "clean coal" technology - should be closed by 2030.
Capturing carbon emissions from coal-fired power stations and storing it underground - called carbon capture and storage (CCS) - was a good idea, Professor Flannery said.
He urged Australia to dramatically fast-track CCS research and give the technology to the Chinese, who are building the equivalent of one new coal-fired power station a week.
Prof Flannery said while the Rudd Government was doing more to tackle climate change than its predecessor, it was still "nowhere near enough."
He called on the Government to remove the means test on the $8000 rebate for domestic solar panels introduced in last week's budget.
"It's probably the bureaucrats getting in the way, we all know that sort of policy is not going to work," he said.

- Craig of Brisbane Posted at 19/05/2008 7:47pm
Great. In the 70's scientists thought it would be a good idea to paint the polar ice caps black to warm the world up a bit. Thank god we didn't listen then, lets hope we don't listen now.
- redtag of melb Posted at 19/05/2008 7:52pm
What an absolute QUACK. Yes, lets pump a poisonous gas into the atmosphere; it will fix the problem, as it will kill everything on the planet.
- London scientists of Posted at 19/05/2008 7:55pm
A group of London scientists has its own solution to global warming - by changing the orbit of the earth away from the sun (i.e. somewhere between Mars and Saturn). The change in orbit will be effected by a "global rush" where the entire world's population will congregate in one city (they are suggesting Rio as its inaugural destination) and the weight will cause the earth to lean backwards until the orbit is at its desired location. To give the earth an extra steer, the scientists are commissioning the development of a super booster on the other side of the planet to Rio, which if ignited at the right moment, will steer the earth on its course away from the sun. The scientists are proposing the 'global rush' to occur on a five yearly basis to allow for adjustments to the earth's temperature caused by global warming.
- J of Sydney Posted at 19/05/2008 7:55pm
Wow, is he grabbing for attention or what? Was it a scientist that suggested we should introduce the cane toad into Australia? Pump sulfur into the air and "she'll be right". Hardly scientific. Over my dead body?
- Andy of Adelaide Posted at 19/05/2008 7:59pm
Sounds like this guy is thinking "Outside The Box", which is exactly what we need! He sounds as if he is heading in the right direction. These type of "Out There" solutions need to be made for the government to WAKE UP to the fact that this is actually the most SERIOUS PROBLEM MANKIND HAS EVER FACED & WE SHOULD BE PUTTING 50% OF BUDGET INTO IT!!!!!!!! Oooh, it makes me so angry... I'll calm down now.
- Jussy of Brissy Posted at 19/05/2008 8:03pm
OMG! What a great idea! Let's kill everyone who is allergic to sulphur, kill the plants because they cannot photosynthesize, and herald in a new ice age! Absolutely ridiculous. Another scientist who has managed to milk climate change for all it's worth.
- Matty Mac of Posted at 19/05/2008 8:06pm
The concern Prof. Flannery is attempting to address is not one he needs to worry about; he is clearly from another planet anyway!
- bambam of vic Posted at 19/05/2008 8:07pm
Wouldn't it be better if the world is on a curfew and just simply stop their everyday process and start a new one base on the climate condition. if we get close enough to the last years or months of our survival. Keep thinking, I'm sure we will win
- marco of ACT Posted at 19/05/2008 8:11pm
Great, pump the sky full of sulphur, change its colour stop the suns rays hitting the earth, so how do we then grow food ? and what if there is a screw up and when it rains we get sulphuric acid on our food supply
- Ben of Gippsland Posted at 19/05/2008 8:12pm
What is it with stupid people claiming to be 'scientists.' I'm only doing year 12 chemistry and i KNOW it would be a bad idea.

How this man got ever got Australian of the Year is beyond me!!
- Matt of Adelaide Posted at 19/05/2008 8:17pm
I think that we have already stuffed up the 'balance of nature', so it is up to us to fix it. I'm not saying this is a good idea, but we should be thinking outside the box, because we may get to a point where something like this is our only option.
- john smith of Posted at 19/05/2008 8:17pm
Let him try it on mars and see if it works
- Tree Hugger of Posted at 19/05/2008 8:19pm
I don't know that all his ideas are right but he'll be seen as visionary one day. Not just yet though, probably not till its too late. The only things that really matter are interest rates and the economy, despite Howard's demise.
- Peta of Tasmania Posted at 19/05/2008 8:19pm
This guy is not an 'expert on climate change'. He is a life scientist with a penchant for self publicity. Good writer of science fiction. This sort of hysteria will certainly doom us. Makes acid rain pale into insignificance
- muncher of WA Posted at 19/05/2008 8:19pm
Yes. After we do that we can then pump Tim Tams into the Limpopo river feeding chocolatey goodness to all the starving people in Africa.
- john smith of Posted at 19/05/2008 8:20pm
"The consequences of doing that are unknown." oh i laughed at this one. so he proposes plantary terraforming without any research into or knowledge of the consequences. wonderful, instead of climate collapse we'll have an eco-system collapse.
- Marko Lehikoinen of Forest Hill Posted at 19/05/2008 8:20pm
Before even thinking experimenting with this, let us remember that sulfur is a primary ingredient of sulfuric acid and rotten egg gas. Aren't the volcanoes erupting all over the world pumping more sulfur into the air than a little mix in jet fuel could possibly achieve? If this is Aussie's best expert on climate change, mankind is doomed. I think the idea stinks!
- me my mo of Posted at 19/05/2008 8:21pm
Awesome. Sulphur has a tasty smell to it. Andy of Adelaide 7:59pm today - there are far better solutions out there being investigated, such as carbon eatting bacteria.
- John in Alice of Posted at 19/05/2008 8:22pm
I am inclined to agree with Mark. Adding sulfur to our atmosphere, in addition to that which went up chimneys as we burned coal would surely produce even more acid rain. BAD IDEA! The acid rain we already produced in the industrial revolution has practically wiped out the Black Forest in Europe.
- ennor of LALa Land Posted at 19/05/2008 8:22pm
and the ensuring acid rain is good for the planet how ?????
- seen it coming of brisbane Posted at 19/05/2008 8:24pm
well the chorus of naysayers is quick off the mark tonight. Just for one moment u should remember what Tim Flannery has achieved and then ask yourself if you think he would lie to you. Whats in it for him? Perhaps so as not to feel as guilty when climate changes start getting ferral? Governments everywhere are not taking it seriously enough so it seems that someone like him had to take a stand. Now its up to us.
- james of Melbourne Posted at 19/05/2008 8:25pm
Hey EVERYONE.. THAT IS STEAM coming out of those turbine stacks,,, from the cooling water!!!!
- Robert Howard of Sydney Posted at 19/05/2008 8:28pm
Someone has already come up with this solution. I saw it on the British documentary "5 Ways To Save The World".
- d of sydney Posted at 19/05/2008 8:30pm
Didn't anyone tell them the world is cooling - even NASA, the IPCC and nature mag admit it - and they say its gonna keep getting colder.
- SD of ACT Posted at 19/05/2008 8:33pm
No it wouldn't cause acid rain because the gas would be far above the clouds dimwits. In any case I would have thought it would be dangerous tinkering.
- Ken of Sydney Posted at 19/05/2008 8:36pm
What a crazy idea! What will work though is putting all of our mirrors outside and bounce the sun rays back. Problem solved;) What about stopping all recreational pursuits using fossil fuels. E.g: car racing, motorcycle racing, boat racing, jet airliner use except for important freight, light airplane use for skydivers and recreational fishing boats. Whoops delete recreational fishing boats, bad idea, bad idea...
- Richard of Adelaide Posted at 19/05/2008 8:37pm
Maybe he should have been titled mad scientist. LoL muncher of WA comment 19. Not a good idea, them Tim Tams might get mistaken for something else.
- mikey of somewhere Posted at 19/05/2008 8:39pm
The climate change shrills are just getting louder and more stupid as time goes on.
- John of Hobart Posted at 19/05/2008 8:40pm
Redtag of melbourne says "What an absolute QUACK. Yes, lets pump a poisonous gas into the atmosphere; it will fix the problem, as it will kill everything on the planet." Im sure you are pumping a poisonous gas (carbon dioxide) into the atmosphere every single day, slowly killing everything on the planet as you go. I think Dr. Flannery is certainly heading in the right direction looking at out-of the box ideas that may be able to lessen the economic impacts of preparing for climate change. We need to consider every option.
- Alex of Belconnen Posted at 19/05/2008 8:40pm
Pump sulphur GAS into the atmosphere??! Sulphur is a non-metallic element, not a gas. ...and if sulphur is part of the solution, then let's burn more bituminous coal, it's full of it.
- Andrew of Brisbane Posted at 19/05/2008 8:41pm
Why do we (the human species) need to survive anyway? I could understand if eternal life had been discovered, but as it hasn't - who cares?
- Darrin Hodges of http://www.protectionist.net Posted at 19/05/2008 8:42pm
Flannery says there is too much Carbon and it will change the climate, then he says he wants to pump poisonous gas into the atmosphere that will cause climate change but with unknown consequences.
- Alex of Belconnen Posted at 19/05/2008 8:47pm
...and another thing. Venus, the hottest planet, has an atmosphere that has sulphuric acid clouds. And a runaway greenhouse effect because of its proximity to the Sun. And Tim wants to recreate that on Earth to...induce global COOLING?
- KJB of ADELAIDE Posted at 19/05/2008 8:48pm
So Professor Flannery wants to pump sulphur into the atmosphere to cool the earth, but doesn't know what the consequences are? A bit like cane toads in Queensland. How about lightning strikes, burning the sulphur creating sulphur-di-oxide - mixed with H20 would mean H2SO4? Or would it already be sulphur-di-oxide? I don't know but it is feasible that we will get sulphuric acid rain. How about if we put too much into the atmosphere and cause excessive global cooling? How do we remove the sulphur from the air. Further more, there was a documentary on the ABC a couple months ago which highlighted the fact there has been no global warming over the last 10 years? Is this in fact a true statement? Why has this not been debated? However I do agree with Professor Flannery that the means test on solar energy panels to qualify for the $8,000 rebate is a foolish idea and flies in the face the of the Rudd's Government's mad dash to sign the Kyoto agreement. I doubt if people on lower incomes would have been buying these panels in the first place.

I believe, it is a call of nature that the earth is getting warmer... As what has happened before, Earth will become warmer, and eventually becomes a Snowball Earth, as what it was before. I believe, there will be Darwin's theory, where the fittest species will survive throughout this global waming. So, let it be... It's a call of nature...

Bad news is that any more than the current natural increases in levels of sulphate in the atmosphere will be enough to kill every eucalypt in this country..not to mention killing off the last vestiges of krill and subsurface oceanic organisms the entire ecological chain relies on....just take a look at whats happening in Hawaii right now and the plant die offs...funny thing is tho, that this sulphate idea is exactly what the planet is doing right now..pumping out sulphides at an exponential rate as we have over 500 volcanoes currently erupting at present...we gave the earth a temperature with our CO2, and any well read greenie knows that the easiest way the earth has to mechanically resolve that imbalance is to increase the sulpher and create a cooling. we cant whinge about what we are reaping...we sowed it.

Any Idiot knows that the suns rays are deflected by clouds and that clouds are a result of more moisture in the air. With global warming, this will; A.) Happen by itself. B.) Be much easier to achieve by flooding large areas that are below sea level, than pumping more hazardous chemicals into the atmosphere. C.) not be necessary as we have experienced a global cooling over the last year.
- Borax of Perth Posted at 19/05/2008 9:02pm
This is the type of pseudo scientists that actually support the "man made climate change" fiasco to begin with. When the climate cools again, which it will, as part of the natural cycle these fools will make up another story. The whole thing is being used at best as a way to make money (it is a trillion dollar industry which doesn't have to produce any results) and at worst an instrument of fear (being used by governments and oil companies to win votes and force up the price of oil). Yes that is right, in order to over value their oil they need excuses why they have to limit the supply, lower demand gives them a reason to force up prices to 'cater for their loss of income". It is a scam, and this foolish plan would unleash global misery. They have already helped spark a food shortage by forcing farmers into growing crops for biofuel. Where does it end? Why do we listen to people who are so obviously perpetuating myths?

John of Hobart. I breathe 380ppm of CO2 with every breath I take. But if I breathed in 500ppm I would still be OK. I would need to breath in 50,000ppm to be harmful. But if I would breath in 500ppm of H2S or SO2 it would KILL me, you fool. ¿Out of the box.¿ Sulphur is highly soluble and causes acid rain as well. Just think I have to pay for his work, while you are hugging trees on the dole down in Tassie. Yes, we are all going to die....one day.

John of Hobart (Comment 33) Carbon dioxide is not a poisonous gas. It is what we exhale and is a plant nutrient - where the carbon is extracted and oxygen released as part of photosynthesis. Are you thinking of carbon monoxide? Now that is deadly and will readily fix itself to red blood cells, requiring blood transfusion in the most serious cases of carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon Dioxide (or CO2) is used in fire extinguishers, carbonated drinks, industrial applications and so on. However it it is a suffocant.

Hang on, haven't scientists recently said that the planet may not be warming but cooling, hence the term "Climate change" now being the buzz work instead of global warming? Its too hard keeping up with the models that change every week let alone plans like this.
- Dan of Cobar Posted at 19/05/2008 9:22pm
Dave of Perth, the Professor is proposing sulfur placed in the stratosphere where it woud be unlikely to cause acid rain. Not agreeing with the proposal (would certainly need to see more than just this story) but please before you decide to pass judgement yourself make sure you read the story and at least try to understand what it says.

The fact remains that we the gullible general public have been denied viable alternative enrgy solutions for many years, yet we are the ones who get the blame for global warming - I mean global cooling - I mean climate change. Let's unite and form a one world government because we can surely trust our 'leaders' to solve the problems we selfishly created. Can't we?

Have you seen the "Day after tomorrow" movie and how the Earth naturally balances out the effects it has to endure be it Human or natural Volcanic ancient aged forces? Too much melt Stops the current pump and you get back what killed 'Eric the Red and Friends' in Greenland 1300AD, Then it was a mini Iceage caused by the Pump stopping,1300AD-1850AD, what should now remain to be asked is How much more melt and sea rise will we get before the Earths current pumps fail and the North-South Poles really freeze up again? Both Antartic and Arctic pumps are already showing signs of failure now, we may not get the alarmist sea rise Global warmists are predicting. Yet again...................who knows, 1degree past zero and it all melts. If the Ross Ice shelf goes as did its brothers (Larsen and Wilkins) over these recent summers, its predicted a sudden 5 meter rise...........next summer or the one after that?

- Ben of Mont Albert Posted at 19/05/2008 9:59pm
This is a such a bad idea! Imagine how much fossil fuel that needs to be burned to mine sulfur, and then pump it up in the atmosphere using jets. It's like let's get rid of european carps by pumping cyanide into our river systems. You guys should google and read about 'Gaia Hypothesis', I think Tim only sees what he wants to see and goes out of his way to prove it. Is it at all POSSIBLE that we're not heading into global warming, but another ice age? If I was a scientist convinced that we're heading into another ice age, then I would probably go out to gather 'selective' evidence to prove that we are heading into an ice age.
- Tim of Belgrave Posted at 19/05/2008 10:06pm
I read with a great degree of amusement that every contributor to this blog has canned the concept and consigned it to the waste bin of scifi garbology. Tim Flannery actually has the basic concept in hand , perhaps he has recognised (and I hope not plagiarised) the work undertaken in the last 12 months by Prof Henrik Svensmark of the Danish National Space Centre (DNSC) who has conclusively identified climate warming / cooling , a result of cosmic ray interaction with¿..amongst other atoms in the atomsphere ¿ Sulphur compounds. Notably Di methyl Sulphide which is naturally generated in our vast oceans by marine plankton which evaporates , rises up to 2-3000 metres where cloud condensation is effected by the interaction ¿ chemical reaction with cosmic rays which vary and have varied in intesity and volume over the 4-5 billion years of earth¿s existance. So , pumping sulphur compounds into the atomosphere isn¿t so silly. Suggest you check out Danish National Space Centre to get more info. Note also that Govt¿s will prefer not to accept this as it will crush their efforts to extract the next 10% GST ¿ Carbon Tax on the pretext Global warming is all man made / driven which it is not.
- Scott of Hobart Posted at 19/05/2008 10:07pm

You will be sitting in the dark ages, in a very violent and depraved world, barely able to breathe and you will still argue that we were doing things right back when you had your TV, Land Rover, 80K job, instant messaging and a supermarket around every corner. If you cant see that this world is freakin crazy and unsustainable, you never will, so you are right, but dont you know it.
- tfb of Perth Posted at 19/05/2008 10:30pm
That has to be just about the weirdest suggestion ever to surface in this whole debate. By 'sulfur gas' Tim must be referring to SO2 (sulfur dioxide), a toxic gas which when mixed with water produces sulfuric acid (H2SO4). In other words, Tim is about to unleash acid rain upon the planet. I think the man has completely flipped.
- John of Perth Posted at 19/05/2008 10:31pm
Despite all the negative comments about Tim's proposal, it does have merit. Firstly Sulphur is not a gas Cathy. Tim said it should be placed in the stratosphere. Thats on the fringe of space not in the atmosphere as everyone assumed. In fact its frightening to read how many people have strong opinions about things they know nothing about. Bravo Tim for ringing the alarm bells.
- Mark of Earth Posted at 19/05/2008 10:33pm
Which Aussie scientist to believe? Phil Chapman, our first astronaut (didn't go into space though,) claimed recently the earth's temp has been slowly declining. It has dropped the most in one period (0.7C) in the past year and with few sunspots, will fall further. Unlike the others, Phil has no greenie agenda nor is selling green vehciles, green fuel, green whatever to make money.
- Tired Dave of Gloomy Side of Brisbane Posted at 19/05/2008 10:41pm
Borax of Perth (46) is a moron. If you go into ANY timber supplier and ask for hardwood timber bearers, beams or otherwise, you will get told the same thing, they are much more expensive than the time consuming composite material bearers, because there is little to no hardwood left to mill. It is the same across the board because DEMAND has outstripped SUPPLY. It is the same for honey, as bees are not producing because their environment is contaminated. Oil is expensive because its SUPPLY has already peaked. We are running out of everything in short order. IF YOU THINK THAT HUMAN IMPACT IS NEGLEGABLE THEN YOU ARE IN DENIAL! I suggest that all of you morons go back to grade 2 to learn that if Mary has two apples and Mary eats two apples, Mary has NO APPLES!
- Meg of Melbourne Posted at 19/05/2008 10:43pm
I dont think the proposal to use sulphur is really the core issue here.. After reading the following comments, most of which are derogatory towards Tim Flannery and some scoffing at 'greenism' or 'climate changeism' just goes to show that people arent accepting what scientists have been saying for a really long long time, we have stuffed this planet, if we want to survive, if we dont want to inflict an absolutely horrible existence on the next generation WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING..... this is our mess, created by us all, not just the greenies or scientists that try to inform us of what deep s ... we are in....
- Stuart of WA Posted at 19/05/2008 10:46pm
Lets just assume for a minute that the sulphur would stay in the stratosphere and not actually kill everyone and everything........Less sunlight = less plant growth to the point of now growth = less food for a growing population. It would also reduce plant photosynthesis and therefore reduce the amount of co2 reduction. Is my calender wrong?? Its not April 1 is it?

- James of Sydney Posted at 19/05/2008 10:58pm
The comments below are ridiculous. The point of the article wasn't that Flannery wants to do this. He's saying is that we have very little time to pursue sensible options, before we have to consider more drastic solutions. Of course he doesn't want to resort to this type of thing. Why do the comments on this site always seem to overwhelmingly miss the point? I suspect people just read the headline and then either don't read the article properly, or don't critically analyse what they're reading. Understand that Tim Flannery is a highly intelligent person who probably knows a lot more about this than all of us put together. This site is full of people who are offended by science and intellect. Perhaps you don't realise that the thing you are currently using - a computer - is the product of the theory of quantum physics. The thing about scientists is they tend to be right. Maybe there's a chance we won't have a problem with climate change. But 99% of scientists say we will and I'm more inclined to listen to them than an assortment of random people whose knowledge of the topic consists of scanning a news wesbite every now and then.

This guy's pockets must be lined with some serious cash for him to come up with the idiotic idea. WAKE UP PEOPLE!! Global Warming is a FARCE. I recommend you watch an interesting doco called "The Great Global Warming Swindle" (was shown on British Channel 4 last year and OZ's ABC recently). Now Australia (via Kevin DUDD) is getting sucked in financially with all this Kyoto crap. All these global warming scare tactics over the last few decades is all to do with the developed world preventing the 3rd world (primarily Africa) from developing, and pushing their Greeny ideas on the poor African countries where more than 2 thirds of their population still don't have basic electricity - with the developed world telling them to use SOLAR/Wind power (which costs TRIPLE the price of coal-based power) and keep their abundant coal & oil rersources in the ground so the Oil Sheiks & Multi-national oil companies can bump up their oil prices (already happening) and you and I end up paying double or more for our petrol at the bowser AND also more for everything else we need.

So lets poison the air with sulfurous emission! Tim Flannery is a fool. Let us see our birds suffocate, our lakes get poisoned through acid rain and lets watch the trees go brown. Our children will get asthma and possibly lung cancer. This is insanity. Do not fall for this. CO2 is a not a dangerous gas in our atmosphere, but SO2 (sulfur oxide) is deadly.

Every other week a scientist has some new doomsday prediction of our future climate. Last week it was global cooling due to ocean currents ceasing to function the way they did in the past. Given, it¿s not always someone as respected as Tim Flannery. I¿m glad these crackpot ideas help give media exposure to the climate issues we¿re facing but it¿s about time we started looking at real solutions. Unfortunately my feeling is alternative energy won¿t be invested in unless we run out of oil or the cost of stealing it from destabilised nations becomes too great. Maybe the government could give massive tax brakes to companies willing to invest in alternate energy. It¿s probably the first time as a planet (those responsible or not) we have had to all stand together and fix something or face extinction. I hope we sort it out.
- Matt of Cronulla Posted at 20/05/2008 12:34am
I can't believe this website would even publish this rubbish. "The effects would be unknown". Sounds like this scientist has absolutely 'no science' backing this idea at all.
- KGB of Sydney Posted at 20/05/2008 12:34am
Like us pumping sulphur into the air is going to make a huge impact towards humans? Sulphur is pumped into the air continuously from volcanic activity! In the aspect of global change, yes this could be a chance for humans to control what is happening but on the other hand societies are going to have to pay for the process and the damage caused over time! I beleive lets try it, it will be an interesting ride for myself being a civil engineer! It will be a awesome experiement! Taking the first step towards being able to expand to Mars!

What nonsense, the smell and the acid rain would totally destroy the environment. I think Dr. Evil had the right idea. Detonate a nuclear device in the mantle along a remote fault line. The ash will create a blanket far safer than Dr Flannery's method. Personally I can't see any signs of climate change. It was written 100 yrs ago that Australia is a land of drought and flooding rains. Sydney is still temperate, Cairns is still tropical and Central Australia is still arid. Where is the change? Don't forget that CO2 represents 0.0338% of the atmosphere, how can it have the dire impact that they are making out. They have proof that all the planets are warming, this would mean the sun is the cause and we have absolutely no control over it.

- BJM of New Zealand Posted at 20/05/2008 1:35am
First we take the sulphur out of diesel, then Tim Flannery suggests we add some jet fuel to create what would essentially be particulate smog in the upper atmosphere. *Plop* *Boioing* Can anyone spell C.R.A.N.K? Oh, wait, here's a good one: Why not build a canal from Port Augusta to lake Eyre, flooding the Eyre basin with seawater and creating a system of evaporative cooling, which would enable Australia to manipulate Earth's climate simply by opening and closing a weir? ...Or maybe we should focus on growing the economy and forget about all the climate change cranks until the science is a little more convincing.
- Felipe of Posted at 20/05/2008 2:49am
Pumping sulphur into atmosphere seem like a very radical idea, and would probably cause more acid rain, but considering the other comments to this article and if we cant stop and lower the levels of green house gases fast (yes co2 or Carbon Dioxide is the major green house gases) we could soon be living on Venus, and that is not what I want to leave as a legacy for my kids.
- Joe Schomer of Whitehall, Pa. USA Posted at 20/05/2008 3:23am

oh my god! what is wrong with the world? Climate change is a natural occurance. it has happened since the earth started to have an atmosphere. can i ask what man made event created the ice ages? simply put there was no man made event. and in two hundred years we'll be reading about this "Global Warming" as one of those funny things people used to be believe back in the day. Just like "Global Cooling" of the 70's. Let the Earth go through it's cycles it cant be stopped.
- Guy Faux of Melbourne Posted at 20/05/2008 7:30am
I suggest Mr. Flannery watch The Animatrix. The Animatrix is the precursor to the trilogy The Matrix, and in it they attempt to do a very similar thing. Of course it doesn't fix the problem they are trying to fix and instead makes the world a darkened wasteland....great idea genius.
- Chris of Briz Posted at 20/05/2008 7:32am
This looks like a News Ltd beat-up. Calm down everyone. Prof Flannery spoke at a conference at Parliament House yesterday. He said adding sulphur to the sky would be a last resort, and stated that the consequences are unknown. Other measures he suggested were extracting carbon from the air, re-forestation, clean coal technology, sharing of clean technologies and removal of the means test on solar panels. Not so scary, is it?
- Sean Wallace of Sydney Posted at 20/05/2008 8:09am
The science is clear: we have an urgent problem; we can see it getting worse if we don't change direction, now. If Earth was the Titanic and you saw an iceberg ahead would you take the risk of sinking the ship by not changing direction? Afterall you couldn't prove it would sink the ship until it was too late; SO WHY TAKE SUCH A STUPID RISK BY DOING TOO LITTLE?!?!? Tim Flannery is utterly correct. And our risky ignorance of what's really going on needs urgent attention. BTW: yes the planet is cooling anyway BUT TIM/IPCCs' point is that we've sped up the process incredibly; talk about us shooting ourselves in the foot! But there is hope for us to reverse our direction, as Marie Curie said: "Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less." The less effort we make now means the more radical we are forcing ourselves to be tomorrow. Tims' lateral suggestion is just a reflection of our leaders ignorance of the past. I've only been aware of the global warming issue since 2006 but I'm doing all I can to cut down my carbon footprint; there's no harm in that.

But then, that doesn't incite panic in people like a good old doomsday prediction, and of course we must incite panic in the masses instead of being sensible about it.
- Colin of Perth Posted at 20/05/2008 9:21am
Ah SD #29 your post made me laugh no acid rain because the gas is far above the clouds, tell me when was the the barrier that stops air at all levels of the atmosphere mixing installed? The dangerous tinkering part i agree with. Pumping poisonous gas in to the atmosphere to counteract warming is like shooting the horse to prevent starvation. What disturbs me is a respected man of science (or so we are told) would suggest this and more frighteningly that there are actually people posting that are defending this as a viable option..

- CL of Brisbane Posted at 20/05/2008 9:50am
Ah David, I see you are from the john Howard School of Science. The media keeps the Global Warming debate alive because it 'sells newspapers'. However out of the thousands of peer reviewed articles in accredited Scientific Journals, none disagree with the fact that Global Warming is here, or what the effects will be. I too thought about the effect of pumping sulphur into the atmosphere, and the fact that this is a major cause of acid rain - where clouds actually rain a weak Sulphuric Acid. Have we learned nothing from the Cane Toad? Don't use one bad idea to solve another bad idea. Eventually the sulphur will settle and start to drift back to earth, at which time it will be absorbed into the clouds and cause acid rain... no thanks.
- Dan of Cobar Posted at 20/05/2008 9:58am
Well Colin of Perth (#69) the barrier that prevents the mixing of the troposphere and the stratosphere is called the tropopause and it was installed a long, long time ago. No it is not a completely impermeable layer and so some mixing does occur but it is a pretty effective barrier. The reason cumulonimbus thunder clouds from the disticntive anvil top is due to the tropoause capping further rising and force the cloud to spread out downwind. At times the uplift in such clouds can be sufficient to allow them "blow thorugh" the tropopause but on a global scale such leaks could be considered miniscule. I am not declaring an opinion either way of the professors proposal since there is now where near enough detail posted in this short article, all I'm asking is that before folks decide to launch in and lambast it they at least try and ensure they have at least a bvasic understanding of what is actually being said.
- Adrian of Melbourne Posted at 20/05/2008 10:47am
To some of you who say Tim is a brilliant scientist.. we should follow because he's smart... you have to see it's only one idea of many presented etc: Well you don't need a university education to recognise trumpet blowing, look at me ideas. Even the most uneducated people in the world can recognise blatant stupidity and point it out for what it is. Myself included.

text: I would avoid CSTR or look for short-biased trades if after earnings it fails to trigger that breakout and then drops back below its 200-day at $51.37 a share with high volume. If we get that move, then CSTR will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major support levels $49.68 to $47.25 a share. Mellanox Technologies Another earnings short-squeeze prospect is fabless semiconductor player for the storage sector Mellanox Technologies ( MLNX), which is set to release numbers on Wednesday after the market close. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Mellanox technologies to report revenue of $80.77 million on earnings of 4 cents per share. A few weeks ago, Piper Jaffray raised its price target for Mellanox ahead of the company's first-quarter results and reiterated its overweight rating on the stock. Piper expects Mellanox to report revenue at the high-end of the guidance range and thinks the company is well positioned for strong growth. The firm raised its price target to $65 from $52. The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Mellanox Technologies is extremely high at 21.6%. That means that out of the 37.11 million shares in the tradable float, 6.92 million shares are sold short by the bears. This is a high short interest low float situation, so any bullish earnings news could easily send shares of MNLX skyrocketing higher post-earnings. From a technical perspective, MLNX is currently trending above its 50-day moving average and well below its 200-day moving average, which is neutral trendwise. This stock has been uptrending strong for the last month, with shares moving higher from its low of $51.50 to its recent high of $63.09 a share. During that uptrend, shares of MLNX have been mostly making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed shares of MLNX within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade post-earnings. If you're bullish on MLNX, then I would wait until after its report and look for long-biased trades if this stock manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $63.09 to $65.77 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that hits near or above its three-month average action of 1.15 million shares. If that breakout triggers, then MLNX will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $72 to its 200-day at $76.29 a share. Any high-volume move above its 200-day will then put $85 into range for shares of MLNX.

So for me at least, It doesn't make sense, even if Eywa can somehow affect the evolution of organisms on Pandora over time, for all the species' neural tendrils to be interconnectable. So what I postulate is that at some point in the past, a common ancestor had a neural whip. This may have been left-over from evolving from a form similiar to the Tree of souls. This would still provide a benefit both in terms of mating and in terms of accurate communications about subjects such as food and predators. As species evolved the neural whips of each species differentiated, so that a Banshee could not achieve a bond with a direhorse, for example. Somehow, and here my theory breaks down somewhat, the Na'vi evolved a queue that was "universal"--able to bond with any other species. Obviously, for them, this was a huge evolutionary advantage in terms of mounts and things.
What do you guys think?

Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Clint does well with his kennel mate. If you have a dog from home, bring them in and we can help you with a meet and greet. Intros are always recommended prior to adopting.
