Right-wing media disregards experts on national security threat of global warming
Research ››› ››› FAE JENCKS
The right-wing media have mocked Sen. Barbara Boxer's comments about the threat of global warming to national security. However, national security experts -- including those in the Bush administration -- have highlighted the "significant geopolitical consequences" of climate change.
Boxer cites "national security experts" in highlighting national security threat of global warming
In a June 10 floor statement, Boxer stated:
I'm going to put in the record, Madam President, a host of quotes from our national security experts who tell us that carbon pollution leading to climate change will be over the next 20 years the leading cause of conflict, putting our troops in harm's way. And that's why we have so many returning veterans who want us to move forward and address this issue, so we can create those new technologies that get us off this foreign oil.
Right-wing media: Boxer's statements about the effects of climate change on national security are unfounded
Beck mocked Boxer's claim that veterans "want us to move forward and address this issue" as "completely out of touch." On the June 11 edition of Glenn Beck's radio show, co-host Pat Gray accused Boxer of "throwing out some baseless generalities," and Beck himself suggested that Boxer's comments were evidence that she is "completely out of touch." From the exchange:
BECK: I've got to play Barbara Boxer because just when you think these people are completely out of touch, then you hear Barbara Boxer and then you are like, you know what?
GRAY: Yeah.
BECK: They got it going on. Here's Barbara Boxer.
BOXER (audio clip) A host of quotes from our national security experts who tell us that carbon pollution leading to climate change will be, over the next 20 years, the leading cause of conflict, putting our troops in harm's way and that's why we have so many returning veterans who want us to move forward and address this issue.
GRAY: I love that because there's no facts there, there's no figures, there's no stats. She's just throwing out some baseless generalities, you know, that all the troops that are returning really want us to take care of this problem because they know more than terrorism, more than threats from other nations --
BECK: Global warming.
GRAY: It's carbon. Carbon is their main enemy that they fear.
Doug Powers: Boxer's comments are "'blame America first' at its most twisted." In a June 11 post to Michelle Malkin's blog, columnist and blogger Doug Powers claimed that Boxer was attempting to "inextricably link" climate change and terrorism and "assign the blame to your SUV." From michellemalkin.com:
"Al Gore is on record as calling "climate change" a greater threat to humanity than terrorism or rogue dictators with nukes, and Barbara "Ma'am" Boxer has followed suit by saying that "carbon pollution, leading to climate change, will be, over the next 20 years, the leading cause of conflict."
If by "conflict" she means harsh opposition to the continued takeover of the U.S. from within under the guise of saving the world from a fiery death, then I suppose she's correct -- but that's not what she means.
Boxer is saying, "Unless you want a lot of wars, support our EPA power grab!"
The real intent of course isn't to rank climate change as being a greater threat than terrorism, but to inextricably link them as one problem and assign the blame to your SUV and dependency on the coal energy that is giving Ashley Judd the trots. It's "blame America first" at its most twisted. "They won't attack if you hand us billions more for clean energy and green jobs!"
Maybe Barbara Boxer believes that Al Qaeda flew planes into the World Trade Centers because they were getting too warm, but I'm certainly skeptical."
Fox Nation highlights blogger claim: "I'm making myself a huge tub of baked beans, watch out Babs, I'm your worst nightmare!" Fox Nation posted video of Boxer's statements on the floor of the Senate, claiming that she deemed "CO2" our "greatest national security threat." Along with the video, Fox Nation included a caption originally from the blog Weasel Zippers that stated, "I'm making myself a huge tub of baked beans, watch out Babs, I'm your worst nightmare!"
NewsBusters' Noel Sheppard characterized Boxer's remarks as "Saturday Night Funnies." In a June 12 NewsBusters post, Sheppard ran the headline: "Saturday Night Funnies: Boxer Says CO2 Leading Cause of Conflict Next 20 Years." He asserted that Boxer "claimed that carbon dioxide -- that naturally occurring gas integral to life on this planet! - 'will be over the next 20 years the leading cause of conflict, putting our troops in harm's way.'"
HotAir's Morrissey: "[W]hat keeps Barbara Boxer awake at night? A raging case of the vapors." In a June 10 post, HotAir's Ed Morrissey listed several current national security issues, then commented, "And what keeps Barbara Boxer awake at night? A raging case of the vapors." He then embedded video of Boxer's statement. Morrissey added: "This hyperbole comes from a desperate attempt to get her colleagues to push her cap-and-tax bill forward in the Senate, and the ridiculous claim that CO2 will somehow outweigh a nuclear Iranian mullahcracy and a global Islamist network for national-security concerns shows just how desperate Boxer has become."
National security experts: Global warming a "grave challenge" to national security interests
Chairman of Bush's National Intelligence Council highlighted global warming's "potential to seriously affect US national security interests." In June 25, 2008, testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, Dr. Thomas Fingar, chairman of President Bush's National Intelligence Council, presented the Council's study titled "National Security Implications of Global Climate Change to 2030." Fingar stated that in 2006, the Council concluded that "time was right to develop a community level product on the national security significance of future climate change." Fingar presented the following "summary of key observations":
We judge global climate change will have wide-ranging implications for US national security interests over the next 20 years. Although the United States will be less affected and is better equipped than most nations to deal with climate change, and may even see a benefit owing to increases in agriculture productivity, infrastructure repair and replacement will be costly. We judge that the most significant impact for the United States will be indirect and result from climate-driven effects on many other countries and their potential to seriously affect US national security interests. We assess that climate change alone is unlikely to trigger state failure in any state out to 2030, but the impacts will worsen existing problems--such as poverty, social tensions, environmental degradation, ineffectual leadership, and weak political institutions. Climate change could threaten domestic stability in some states, potentially contributing to intra- or, less likely, interstate conflict, particularly over access to increasingly scarce water resources. We judge that economic migrants will perceive additional reasons to migrate because of harsh climates, both within nations and from disadvantaged to richer countries.
The Center for Naval Analysis (CNA) issued a report concluding that climate change "presents significant national security challenges." The 2007 study authored by 11 retired generals and admirals states that "[t]he nature and pace of climate changes being observed today and the consequences projected by the consensus scientific opinion are grave and pose equally grave implications for our national security." The report issued four conclusions: 1) "Projected climate change poses a serious threat to America's national security." 2) "Climate change acts as a threat multiplier for instability in some of the most volatile regions of the world." 3) "Projected climate change will add to tensions even in stable regions of the world." 4) "Climate change, national security, and energy dependence are a related set of global challenges."
Military reportedly began "studying possible future impacts of global warming with new intensity" during the Bush administration. An April 15, 2007, Washington Post article on the CNA study highlighted a "sense of urgency" surrounding the government's interest in the national security effects of climate change. According to generals interviewed by the Post, the urgency "stems from the fact that changing climatic conditions will make it harder for weak nation-states to address their citizens' basic needs." The Post also reported that "several branches of the military are examining how to cope with climate change."
After being "a little bit of a skeptic," Gen. Gordon R. Sullivan told the Post he is "convinced that global warming presents a grave challenge to the country's military preparedness." From the April 15, 2007, article:
"The Army's former chief of staff, Gen. Gordon R. Sullivan, who is one of the authors, noted he had been "a little bit of a skeptic" when the study group began meeting in September. But, after being briefed by top climate scientists and observing changes in his native New England, Sullivan said he was now convinced that global warming presents a grave challenge to the country's military preparedness.
"The trends are not good, and if I just sat around in my former life as a soldier, if I just waited around for someone to walk in and say, 'This is with a hundred percent certainty,' I'd be waiting forever," he said."
The Department of Defense cited the role of climate change as a potential "accelerant of instability or conflict." The Department of Defense's Quadrennial Defense Review Report, issued in February of 2010, states that "[w]hile climate change alone does not cause conflict, it may act as an accelerant of instability or conflict." The DoD report also indicated "climate change will shape the operating environment, roles, and missions that we undertake." Further, the report stated, "climate change and energy are two key issues that will play a significant role in shaping the future security environment."
CIA launched Center on Climate Change and National Security to help coordinate information on what it deems "an important national security topic." In September of 2009, the CIA launched The Center on Climate Change and National Security. According to a September 25, 2009, press release, its charter is to explore "the national security impact of phenomena such as desertification, rising sea levels, population shifts, and heightened competition for natural resources." Director Leon Panetta explained that "[d]ecision makers need information and analysis on the effects climate change can have on security."
Intelligence analysts reportedly suggest that "[t]he changing global climate will pose profound strategic challenges to the United States in coming decades." The New York Times reported on August 8, 2009, that "a growing number of policy makers say that the world's rising temperatures, surging seas and melting glaciers are a direct threat to the national interest." The Times noted that military officials are "studying ways to protect the major naval stations in Norfolk, Va., and San Diego from climate-induced rising seas and severe storms." According to Pentagon official Amanda Dory, there has been "a 'sea change' in the military's thinking about climate change in the past year. "These issues now have to be included and wrestled with" in drafting national security strategy, she said."
State Department official reportedly highlighted department's focus on "security and geopolitical challenges" of global warming. According to the August 8, 2009, Times report, the State Department and Pentagon are "considering the effects of global warming in their long-term planning documents." According to a State Department official, "[t]he sense that climate change poses security and geopolitical challenges is central to the thinking of the State Department and the climate office."

Packing Donuts
The title of this column promises something sweet, so here goes. A certain gourmet donut shop prides itself on being able to provide its customers with any number of donuts between 1 and 80. A customer may go to the counter and say, "I want 43 donuts," and 43 donuts will appear in under a minute.
The shop wants to use five different-sized containers. Your job is to figure out what those sizes should be in order to minimize the number of packets needed to fill the average order.
To get you started on the problem, suppose the packet sizes are 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50. If someone orders 48 donuts, then the number of packets required is six: two packets of 20, one of 5, and three of 1.
One strategy to find the best packet sizes is to try all possible different combinations of five sizes and find the best. But think a little before you take that route. First, one of the sizes must be 1, so really, you have to test ascending quadruples of sizes between 2 and 80 only. When evaluating a quadruple, add a packet of size 1 to get a set of five packet sizes.
Warm-Up: Suppose the number of donuts in an order ranged only between 1 and 12 with equal probabilities of each order. If there were four packet sizes, what should they be to minimize the number of packets used to satisfy an order?
Solution to Warm-Up: An optimal set of packet sizes would be 1, 3, 5, and 6. We know this is optimal because no number requires more than two packets (e.g. an order of two requires two packets of one each and an order of 11 requires two packets one of size five and one of size six) and four require only one. No other set of packet sizes can be better.
The Puzzles
1. Assuming all orders between 1 and 80 are equally likely, what would be five packet sizes, so the number of packets given to a customer will be minimized on the average?
2. Suppose you wanted to be sure that no more than 4 packets are ever required for any order between 1 and n. What is the maximum n you can manage? What would the packet sizes be?
The computational "inner loop" of this process is to calculate the average cost. That is, given a set of four packet sizes, compute the average number of packets needed for each order.
Here is high level pseudo-code of one dynamic programming method.
Goal: Given five sizes 1, s1, s2, s3, s4 find the cost per order. Create an array of size 80. This will be your cost array. Initialize each entry to have infinite cost except for the entries at locations 1, s1, s2, s3, and s4 to which you assign a cost of 1. for entry i = 2 to 80 if cost(i) == infinite for entry j from 1 to i-1 if (cost(j) + cost(i-j)) < cost(i) cost(i) := (cost(j) + cost(i-j)) end if end for end if end for sum all the costs and divide by 80 to get the average cost
Now that you see how to evaluate a given candidate set of packet sizes, it remains only to go through the different packet size triplet possibilities to find the best set of packet sizes.
1. When all quantities between 1 and 80 are equally likely, find the minimum average cost and the packet sizes that give you that.
It's possible to achieve an average of 3.15 packets per customer with packet sizes 1, 6, 9, 22, and 24.
2. For orders of 68 or less, no purchase requires more than 4 packets assuming packet sizes are 1, 3, 8, 18, and 29. I don't know how to do better.

"Drug stocks can rally in any environment, so long as the underlying companies are innovating, creating new medications that can make it through the FDA approval process and make big money once they hit the market," Jim Cramer said Wednesday, pointing to three biotech companies in particular: Isis Pharmaceuticals, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals and Sangamo BioSciences.
Isis Pharmaceuticals has developed Kynamro, a drug for treatment of a rare genetic disorder that causes unusually high cholesterol, which got FDA approval in February. Kynamro could ultimately do $400 million in peak sales, Cramer said. The greenlight also means the FDA is probably more likely to approve other RNA-based therapies, which helps Isis and its more than 20 drug candidates in development.

Mixup at the Polls
The polls have closed in the voting for the Racing Hall of Fame. I voted for Point Given, on the assumption that he was faster than the trainer Gary Jones, although I never actually saw them race. In trying to decide between Azeri and Randy Romero, I voted for Azeri. Romero won more races, by a margin of 4,270, but he was one behind in Horse of the Year titles.
Because of new voting rules, there were 10 candidates on the ballot, but they weren't sorted out according to categories. Voters were allowed to select any four, a mix and match of horses, trainers and jockeys. I voted a straight Down With People party ticket. All of my votes went to horses--Point Given, Azeri, Open Mind and Sky Beauty. I would have liked to have included a fifth horse, Safely Kept, who is also Hall of Fame worthy, but there wasn't room on the ballot. So I had to leave out Safely Kept, along with Best Pal; Jones; another trainer, Robert Wheeler; and jockeys Romero and Alex Solis.
It is not likely that this wacky voting format will be repeated next year. That's because it wasn't even supposed to be in use this year. A member of the Hall of Fame committee told me that the ballot was supposed to include 10 names, all right, but that voters would then have the option of voting "yes" or "no" for every name. The four candidates with the most yesses would be enshrined. This format resembles the way the Baseball Hall of Fame runs its elections. Baseball lists many players on the ballot (this year there were 23), and voters are allowed to vote for a maximum of 10 (they can even leave the ballot blank, if they feel none of the candidates is deserving). In effect, the baseball voters are saying "yes" or "no" to each player. To get into the Hall of Fame, a player must be named on 75% of the ballots.
What happened after the Racing Hall of Fame approved the yes-or-no balloting system, based on a committee recommendation, is a source of bewilderment for committee members. Early this year, the Hall of Fame sent out a release that made no mention of the yes-or-no format, outlining instead the pick-4-out-of-10 system. Strangely, none of the committee members contacted Ed Bowen, their chairman, to ask at that point, "Hey, Ed, what happened to yes or no?" A month or so later, the ballots went out to the electorate, and by then it was too late to revert to the system that the committee had actually preferred--a system that would have given voters more leeway in making their choices, and not forced them to compare apples with oranges every step of the way.
I messaged Bowen about the yes-or-no format falling between the cracks, and he confirmed that it had, without elaborating. Over the years, the Hall of Fame voting process has had more changes than Gypsy Rose Lee in her prime, but this was a new twist on an old hodgepodge. Surely an apology is owed a committee that thought it had a consensus, but didn't. Caulking the cracks at the Hall of Fame is a huge job.

British & Irish Lions
Surgery all but ends Wilkinson's Lions hopes
Graham Jenkins
June 7, 2013
Jonny Wilkinson appears to have kicked his Lions tour chances into touch by going under the knife to cure a groin problem © Getty Images
Jonny Wilkinson's hopes of a British & Irish Lions call up appear to have been ended with the news that the fly-half will be sidelined for several weeks following surgery on a groin injury.
Wilkinson turned down an offer to tour with the Lions out of loyalty to his French side Toulon but after completing his club commitments last weekend, he indicated he would welcome a conversation with coach Warren Gatland having previously agreed to be an injury replacement should Ireland's Jonathan Sexton or England's Owen Farrell be sidelined.
However, a fresh approach now appears highly unlikely after he opted to go under the knife.
"I had to go in for a procedure on my groin on Monday that is going to keep me out for a few weeks," Wilkinson told ESPN. "I'd got to a stage where I wasn't able to train anymore and was going from game to game and was suffering on the field because of that. We've also just finished a 48-week season and now I'm looking forward to the other four weeks and trying to rest up so I can do it all again next season."
The news will concern Gatland who was widely expected to call on the European Player of the Year, who steered Toulon to the Heineken Cup crown last month, if injuries forced his hand and also surprise Wallabies coach Robbie Deans who expected Wilkinson to play some part in the tour. Wilkinson has not ruled out the possibility altogether but accepts his chances of being involved in what would be his third Lions tour are remote.
"The difficulty is that I have had the procedure and it had to be done," said Wilkinson, who recently agreed a new one-year deal with Toulon. "I'm now going to try and make sure I get back to some sense of fitness and I am far from 100% at the moment. If that situation did ever come about there would be a discussion to be had, and I would be very proud to be asked, but it is unlikely."
Wilkinson has also offered support to Farrell after the fiery Saracens fly-half was subjected to criticism in the wake of his altercation with Barbarians hooker Schalk Brits last weekend. Wilkinson did not lack for aggression as he carved out his reputation as one of the world's best players and has urged his successor in the England No.10 shirt to harness that "energy".

"It is a hugely difficult," said Wilkinson when asked how he struck a balance between physicality and legality. "I still find that now and you take your time to learn from it. I remember in my younger days when I was perhaps more able to go in for the tackles I wanted to, there were situations when I didn't get the balance right and I found myself creeping over.
"But what is great is that he has got that energy and no matter how you look at it, that energy is about wanting to come out on top, wanting to win and dominate the situation. If you don't have that energy then that is the difficult part, but if you do have it then you can work with it as he will do as he keeps getting better and better as there is no doubt he is going to do.
"He'll find the best way to use it. The guy has boundless energy and that is the part you cannot coach, you can't put that into someone who doesn't have it. You can't say to someone, who doesn't necessarily enjoy the tackling side of things, to go out there and be a different person. But he's got that in his game, he is super-competitive and at the end of the day those are the guys you want beside you."

We all know that all men are not created equal in this country, but in terms of higher education, has the racism African Americans face at predominantly white schools subsided? I've heard some stories, but I would love to hear from some one who has experience at one of these schools. How are you holding up?
I did not ask if there was racism on campus, I asked what kind, how much and how people deal with it. It seems like nobody over here knows how to give str8 answers.

Transanal vs. abdominal surgery for rectal cancers
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Is Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery just as useful as the abdominal approach? I need to be sure that a cancerous polyp did not affect my blood vessels or lymph glands
Timothy C. Hoops, MD, Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Gastroenterology Division at the University of Pennsylvania and Director of Gastroenterology at Penn Medicine at Radnor, responds:
Operations for rectal cancers can use either the transanal or an abdominal approach. The decision is based on what stage the tumor is felt to be. Early stage rectal cancers may be removed transanally because the risk of spread to local lymph nodes is small. In effect, the entire tumor is removed without getting into the surrounding tissues. If the tumor is deeper or if there is evidence that the tumor is more aggressive or has invaded lymphatic or blood vessels, the risk for localized spread is higher. In these situations, a transabdominal approach is usually preferred in order to evaluate the tumor and the surrounding tissues, especially the lymph nodes. Assuming that there is no other spread to far organs like the liver, finding the tumor in the lymph nodes raises the stage of the tumor and usually leads to the recommendation of chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. It all boils down to assessing the risk for a more advanced tumor with a higher risk for recurrence versus the risk of the two operations. Again, if there is any evidence that this is not just a very superficial early stage cancer, I usually recommend the more extensive surgical approach.
I hope this answers your question and helps you.

Remodeling Your Bathroom: Choosing Your Bathroom Cabinets
Are you planning on remodeling your bathroom? Do you plan on remodeling only a small portion or the entire room? Whether this will be a small remodeling project or a large one, you may be in need of new bathroom cabinets.
You may want to leave the cabinets out of the bathroom altogether. One of the reasons to consider leaving them in or having new ones built in is the convenience of storage space. Whether you are looking for a place to store your bath towels or your health and beauty products, a bathroom cabinet may can be very handy.
Whether you are looking to replace your old bathroom cabinets with new ones or if you are installing cabinets in your bathroom for the first time, you will need to make a decision: what type of cabinets you would like to purchase.

This is important because bathroom cabinets come in a number of different sizes, shapes, and styles. Many bathroom cabinets can be resized, with the right training or professional assistance, but it may be impossible to do it will all cabinets. That is why it is advised that you know, ahead of time, how much room you will have for your bathroom cabinets. The last thing that you will want is to be stuck with a set of cabinets that are too big for your bathroom.

Bolling wonders if Obama "let" oil rig leak so he "could renege on his promise" to "allow some offshore drilling"
Video ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
From the May 27 edition of Fox Business' Happy Hour:
Loading the player reg...
BOLLING: Let me ask you this, alright, Alan, day one. That leak came and BP said there's about 42,000 gallons -- 1,000 barrels a day were leaking. About day nine, they said, you know, it looks like it's going to be 5,000 barrels per day, 210,000 gallons. Today, day 38, we find it's likely a million gallons a day.
Had the Obama administration gone in there, sent the Army Corps of Engineers into that hole, into that -- the, the, the dig, and find out that there's a million gallons a day, and BP had no way of stopping this, they may have started then, not day 38.
COLMES: But, you know, they went on the best information they had, day 4, day 5, day 9.
BOLLING: Are you sure they didn't let it --
CODY WILLARD (co-host): But they could have gotten better information.
BOLLING: Are you sure they didn't --
COLMES: Maybe or maybe not --
BOLLING: Are you sure they didn't let it leak so he could renege on his promise to, to, to allow some offshore drilling?
COLMES: Oh, that's what -- it's a big conspiracy. Hey, there's a black helicopter. Yeah, it's all about reneging on a permit, that's right.
"Sabotage!" Right-wing media respond to oil spill by dreaming up conspiracy theories

By Jiang Xueqin, Special to CNN
Editor's note: Jiang Xueqin is a China-born writer and educator. His work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, the Chronicle of Higher Education and The Diplomat among other publications. The views expressed are his own.
China has announced the seven men who will rule the country for the next decade, and everyone is anxiously anticipating their actions. But perhaps the story of the man left out – Bo Xilai – offers a better diagnosis and prognosis of China.
In a system known for conformity and compromise, Bo proved himself creative and charismatic, first in the coastal boomtown of Dalian and then as party chief of Chongqing. Son of one of China's Eight Immortals, Bo seemed destined for the pinnacle until his father Bo Yibo died. Seemingly exiled from Beijing in 2007, Bo decided to restore his political fortunes by re-inventing the mafia-infested industrial wasteland that is Chongqing. He ran the mafia out of town, and he had the people sing "The East is Red." In so doing, Bo became a political rock star, and set the stage for a downfall worthy of Shakespeare.
On February 6, 2012, Wang Lijun, Bo's top enforcer, walked into the American consulate in Chengdu, reportedly told stupefied American officials that he had evidence of corruption incriminating Bo, and then walked out into the arms of Chinese security officials who escorted him to Beijing. Just as China was about to embark on a once-in-a-decade leadership transition, the Chinese Internet and Western press became a maelstrom of coup d'état rumors, lewd innuendos, and hints of violent court politics.
More from GPS: Out with the old, in with the old
The story embedded itself in the Western imagination when it became reported that the scandal's catalyst was the murder of Briton Neil Heywood. Somehow, the story went, Wang stumbled upon evidence of the involvement of Bo's wife, Gu Kailai, and when he confronted Bo with this evidence, Bo is alleged to have stripped Wang of his powers, and to have planned "three ways to kill him." This implausible story became the official truth when a Chinese court, despite the lack of evidence against Gu, handed her a suspended death sentence for the murder of Heywood, a verdict that sealed Bo's political fate.
On November 12, Britain's Channel 4 presented a documentary that challenged this understanding of Bo's downfall. The documentary hears from an "insider" who suggests that Heywood was never close to the Bo family, and was really an opportunist who used his Harrow accent and brief encounters with the Bo family to fleece British businessmen greedy for "guanxi."
While murder and mistresses, sex and spies do grab headlines, we must remember that the scandal's two protagonists were Bo and Wang. Together, the brilliant politician and the daring policeman made a formidable team, and having worked with Wang in Liaoning Province, Bo knew that Wang was the best – and perhaps only – man for the job in his crusade against Chongqing's mafia. In the all-out war, Wang risked his life to make Chongqing Bo's personal fiefdom, and in return Wang expected his success to be rewarded, his loyalty to be reciprocated, and he himself to be respected. But could Bo – a man notorious for his megalomania – respect anyone, and share the limelight?
Underneath every great partnership is an intensely explosive rivalry. Think of the mutual mistrust between Roman emperors and their generals in Edward Gibbon's The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. And think of one of history's most productive partnerships – the one between George Washington and Alexander Hamilton.
In his sympathetic biography of George Washington, Ron Chernow describes the tumultuous relationship between the respected commander of the American revolutionary army and his talented aide-de-camp Alexander Hamilton:
"Working in daily contact with a man burdened by multiple cares, Hamilton inevitably was exposed to Washington's bad-tempered side. A stoic figure who strove to be perfectly composed in public, Washington needed to blow off steam in private, and the proud, sensitive young Hamilton grew weary of dealing with his boss's varying moods.
"Like many talented subordinates, Hamilton nurtured a rich fantasy life and could easily have imagined himself in Washington's place. He found a desk job, even such a prestigious one, too lowly and monotonous for his tastes and dreamed of battlefield glory, repeatedly requesting a field command. But he wielded such a skillful pen that Washington was reluctant to dispense with it and turned him down. In December 1780 he also scotched Hamilton's chance of becoming adjutant general, which would have jumped him over several officers of superior rank and thereby created endless trouble."
Three days before Wang walked into the American consulate in Chengdu, he penned a public letter condemning Bo as a "despot who makes arbitrary decisions, hateful and ruthless…He treats people like chewing gum: after a little chew, he just throws you away…I was willing to risk my life on his behalf, and he treated me worse than he'd treat a dog."
We could easily imagine Hamilton writing this sort of letter after his experiences as Washington's aide-de-camp – he certainly must have thought like this. But he did not. Instead, Hamilton found a pretext to resign amicably, and having married into one of New York's richest families, this self-made man soon found success as a lawyer. Over time, as the two men matured, their rift healed, and when Washington became president, Hamilton became his treasury secretary.
But, whereas American culture respects the sanctity of the individual, Chinese culture only acknowledges the power of factions, and in the Chinese political system Wang could only be Bo's creature for life.
Now that Bo Xilai has left the political stage it seems that the seven men still on stage can now work together to rule China. But, as Bo Xilai's downfall reveals to us, behind the veneer of consensus and co-operation lurks a vicious and violent rivalry just waiting to tear everything apart.
The most High has warned us about Zion and Jerusalem. The adversary is the devil, see the red in their anger take heed! *Lamentation 4:11-12 The Lord hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured out his fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, and it hath devoured the foundations thereof. The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world, would not believed that the adversary and the enemy should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem. *Luke 12:49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I if it be already kindled? *Obadiah 18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the Lord hath spoken it. *Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.
What is God speed? Ask the Word of God *2nd John 9-10 Whosoever trangresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: *Romans 3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. *Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angles of heaven, but my Father only. *Isaiah 38:19 the father to the children shall make known thy truth. *1st John 2:18-19 Little children, it is the last time: as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: (The lovers of the world have falling away from grace and truth, for the pride of life.)
God is rest! *Hebrews 4:3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. (Satan is peace!) *Jeremiah 23:16-17 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord. They say still unto them that despise me, The Lord hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you. *Lamentations 4:17-18 As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in watching we watched for a nation that could not save us. They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our streets: our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.
The seven newly elected men in the standing committee of the politburo are all hungry for power. Not only do they want a place in the sun, with all the treats and privileges, they also look for a place in history. It's a perfect opportunity for Xi Jinping to opt for reforms, that are badly needed for China, if it wants to be a superpower of the 21st century.
I suppose you are also hungry, but your hunger is a little different. Your hunger is to be able to zuck another kwok and swallow another mouthful.
China is a big country so probably more than any other nation, they need the Creator's wisdom to rule their massive country. On the other hand i would like the U.S.A to relax a bit on China although keeping a hawk's eye on their neferious activities, because they are far from touching you militarily. The Chinese justice system needs reform by the way

By Kelee Riesbeck
The American Electric Power (AEP) Company has funded watershed rehabilitation programs led by Ohio University's Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs for over a decade. Its support has driven water restoration programs developed and completed by the School's students, faculty and professional staff. Students have the opportunity to research watershed issues in the southeast Ohio region, learn how to solve real-world problems, collect the scientific data in the context of a larger interdisciplinary team, and learn beyond what they hear in the classroom.
The utility established the American Electric Power Watershed Research and Reclamation Professorship at the School in 2005 with an endowed gift of $250,000. The professorship supports the School's efforts in watershed research and restoration and student learning. In 2009, AEP made a $250,000 gift that supports the School's efforts in creating a regional model for predicting a stream's biological recovery after acid mine drainage has been mitigated from the stream. The gift also funds watershed leadership programs and upgrades to software that supports the watershed restoration effort.
Most recently, AEP gave $100,000 in 2012 to support graduate students as they engage in interdisciplinary, high-quality, applications-based watershed research that benefits the region. The AEP gift funds graduate stipends and research equipment, supplies and travel costs.
The 2012 gift is part of The Promise Lives Campaign which seeks to raise $450 million by June 30, 2015, and already has secured more than $413 million toward its goal in support of students, faculty, programs, partnerships and select facilities at Ohio University.
Click here to see a photo essay that highlights the restoration effort along Hewett Fork, which runs through Athens, Hocking and Vinton counties in Ohio. The essay is by Darcy Holdorf who earned a master's degree in 2012 in visual communications at OHIO's School of Visual Communication and who served as the Voinovich School's Photojournalism Fellow from 2010-2012.

A co-founder of the Pinkberry frozen yogurt chain who was convicted last year of beating a homeless man with a tire iron over a tattoo he considered disrespectful was sentenced on Friday to seven years in prison.
Young Lee, a 49-year-old South Korean kick boxer-turned-architect who parted ways with Pinkberry in 2010, was convicted in November of assault with a deadly weapon, along with special allegations that he caused great bodily injuries to his victim.
A spokesman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said Lee was sentenced to the maximum of four years in prison for the assault, with an additional three years for the special allegations.
Lee may also be ordered to pay restitution to the victim, who suffered a broken forearm and cuts to his head in the June 2011 attack, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors say Donald Bolding was panhandling at a Los Angeles freeway off-ramp when he flashed a sexually explicit tattoo on his belly at Lee, his then-fiancee and another man in the couple's Range Rover.
Lee drove away from the scene but returned a short time later, chased down the transient and beat him with a tire iron before several people intervened, Deputy District Attorney Bobby Zoumberakis said in a statement.
Lee left the country following the attack but was arrested when he returned in January 2012. Prosecutors say he threatened the man who was riding in the Range Rover to keep quiet about the incident.
Along with his former wife, entrepreneur Shelly Hwang, Lee helped start Pinkberry in 2005 and was credited with bringing a sleek, modern architecture to the company that helped attract celebrities and hipsters alike to its locations.
Pinkberry, a franchise business, spawned a number of frozen yogurt imitators.
In 2001, Lee pleaded no contest to felony possession of cocaine and a misdemeanor charge of carrying a loaded firearm and was sentenced to two days in jail and three years of probation, according to prosecutors.

PHILADELPHIA — Gov. Tom Corbett asked President Barack Obama on Saturday to intervene in a commuter rail strike in the nation's sixth-largest metropolitan area and force union workers to return to their jobs.
The Republican governor said he wants Obama to appoint an emergency board to mediate the contract dispute between the Southeast Pennsylvania Transportation Authority and its engineers and electricians unions. More than 400 workers went on strike at midnight, and no talks were scheduled over the weekend.
"The people of Philadelphia and the surrounding region expect and deserve a safe and efficient rail system to get them to work, medical appointments, school and recreation," Corbett said in a statement. "I call on both parties to work together, find common ground and place the riders at the forefront of mind in their discussions."
If the president grants the request, workers must return to work immediately and both parties must continue negotiations, Corbett said.
The unions said they would comply with the law, but said the strike is designed to force SEPTA to agree to their demands or accept binding arbitration. Workers are seeking raises of at least 14.5 percent over five years — or about 3 percentage points more than SEPTA has offered.
"Yes, the strike is worth it. It's our intention to encourage SEPTA to make a reasonable settlement," Stephen Bruno, vice president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, said at an afternoon news conference.
The move shut down 13 train lines that carry commuters from Philadelphia to the suburbs, Philadelphia International Airport and New Jersey. SEPTA subways, trolleys and buses continue to run.
"My head's going to hurt by the end of this day," said volunteer Rusty Schwendeman of the Traveler's Aid Society, who had helped reroute about two dozen rail travelers Saturday morning at 30th Street Station.
They often involved several connections, longer routes or a significantly higher fare on Amtrak.
Carolyn Tola, of Hamilton Square, New Jersey, and three friends paid $40 apiece to take Amtrak from central New Jersey to Philadelphia to see the Pennsylvania Ballet instead of $9 on Septa.
"We're here," Tola said, noting that the ballet tickets were nonrefundable. "We're going to relax and enjoy it."
The strike began after negotiations between the transit agency and two unions failed to reach a new contract deal Friday. The last regional rail strike, in 1983, lasted more than three months.
The labor conflict came to a head this week after SEPTA announced it would impose a deal beginning Sunday. Terms include raising electrical workers' pay immediately by an average of about $3 per hour; the top wage rate for locomotive engineers would rise by $2.64 per hour.
The strike adds to the commuting headaches in the region, where major construction projects are making it more difficult than usual to get around.
Drexel University dance team members Beverly and Angela Tomita, 18-year-old twins, had planned to take the airport line for a 2 p.m. flight home to Laguna Beach, California, for the summer.
"That's so not convenient!" Angela Tomita said when she found the region rail entrance closed at 30th Street Station. Schwendeman soon directed them to a subway-and-bus route.
"They're not the best answers, but they're the best answers I can come up with," Schwendeman told another teenager about her three-bus route home to suburban Blue Bell. "I don't want to send anybody to the middle of nowhere, either."
Associated Press writer Peter Jackson in Harrisburg contributed to this report.

Dan Walters: Scandal and conflict sour legislative session
When the Legislature's 2014 session began about three months ago, the Capitol's dominant Democrats and their allies had high hopes that it would bear legislative fruit – with good reason.
Democrats held "supermajorities" in both legislative houses, the state's budget was in balance, and an improving economy was generating surplus revenue that could finance plans for new spending on services to children, the poor and the disabled.
Even the Legislature's public approval, which had fallen to as low as 10 percent in the Field Poll a few years earlier, was on the rise.
Democratic ambitions were expressed in hundreds of bills, many drafted by labor unions, environmental groups, consumer advocates and personal-injury lawyers, that collectively laid out a liberal election-year agenda.
However, as the Legislature wound up a couple of weeks of intensive committee hearings Thursday and left town for an 11-day spring break, the atmosphere had soured.
Three Democratic senators facing criminal charges had been suspended, thereby erasing the upper house's supermajority and dooming some of the most ambitious measures.
The California Chamber of Commerce, which annually singles out the highest-profile liberal bills and labels them "job killers," scored a number of victories without firing a shot. Eight tax-increase measures on the 26-bill list that required two-thirds votes stalled out with the demise of the Senate's supermajority, giving the chamber and other business interests a head start on their annual wrangle with liberal groups.
That demise, moreover, restores a modicum of influence for minority Republicans on other measures requiring two-thirds votes – such as a water bond for the November ballot, or Gov. Jerry Brown's proposal for a rainy-day fund to soak up the surging revenue that many of his fellow Democrats would prefer to spend.
The conflict between Brown and liberals over whether to ramp up health and welfare spending and launch pricey new programs such as "transitional kindergarten" looms as the year's biggest uncertainty.
Democratic unity in both houses, meanwhile, has been fractured by a conflict over a constitutional amendment to allow affirmative action in college admissions, pitting Asian American Democrats against black and Latino Democrats.
The amendment had cleared the Senate in a display of supermajority hegemony earlier in the year, but was sidetracked in the Assembly when Asian American legislators turned against it.
Finally, the Field Poll was in the midst of a voter survey when the last and most sensational of the three criminal cases became public. Prior to then, the Legislature's approval rating was increasing, but when that case hit, touching off an intense debate over how the three senators would be treated, approval turned downward.

The sole purpose of this mod is to make Battlefield 1942 as realistic as possible to WWII, not sacrificing realism for balancing or to make it less boring, while trying to keep the action of thousands of soldiers with a relatively small number of players. There has been and will continue to be much research involved in creation of this mod. Because this mod is heavily focused on keeping it as real as possible, I expect it will mostly capture the interests of WWII enthusiasts rather than hardcore gamers. This is my first mod and I have learned very much in the short time I've been working on it, and I look forward to making this possibly the most realistic mod ever created for BF1942.
awesome mod!

Once upon a time there was a guy who was not very good at yo-yo. He became very popular for it. But this guy here won the World Yo-Yo Championships with this routine, and it's about a billion times more boring. The lesson here is that if you get really really good at something really really pointless, the glory still outweighs the scorn. But not by much.

That's all. Comedy!
