The Seahorse's Odd Shape Makes It a Weapon of Stealth
Seahorses belong to the genus Hippocampus, which gets its name from the Greek words for "horse" and "sea monster." With their extreme snouts, weirdly coiled bodies and sluggish movements produced by to two puny little fins, these oddly shaped fish seem like an example of evolution gone terribly awry. And yet, new research published today in Nature Communications shows that it is precisely the seahorse's uncanny looks and slow motions that allow it to act as one of the most stealthy predators under the sea.
Seahorses, like their close relatives the pipefish and sea dragons, sustain themselves by feasting on elusive, spastic little crustaceans called copepods. To do this, they use a method called pivot feeding: they sneak up on a copepod and then rapidly strike before the animal can escape, much like a person wielding a bug swatter tries to do to take out an irritating but otherwise impossible-to-catch fly. But like that lumbering human, the seahorse will only be successful if it is able to get near enough to its prey to strike at very close range. In the water, however, this is an even greater feat than on land because creatures like copepods are extremely sensitive to any slight hydrodynamic change in the currents around them.
So how do those ungainly little guys manage to feed themselves? As it turns out, the seahorse is a more sophisticated predator than appearance might suggest. In fact, it is precisely its looks that make it an ace in the stealth department. To arrive at this surprising conclusion, researchers from the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Minnesota used holographic and particle image velocimetry–fancy ways of visualizing 3D movements and water flow, respectively–to monitor the hunting patterns of dwarf seahorses in the lab.
In dozens of trials, they found that 84 percent of the seahorses' approaches successfully managed not to sound the copepod's retreat alarms. The closer the seahorse could get to its unsuspecting prey and the faster it struck, the greater its odds of success, they observed. Once in range of the copepod, seahorses managed to capture those crustaceans 94 percent of the time. Here, you can see that method of attack, in which the seahorse's giant head looks like a floating bit of marine sludge drifting toward the blissfully ignorant copepod:
The way the seahorse's movements and morphology–especially its head–interact with the water particles, the researchers found, likely take the credit for its exceptional hunting skill. The animal's arched neck acts like a spring for generating an explosive strike, they describe, while the shape of its snout–a thin tube with the mouth positioned at the very end–allows it to drift through the water while creating minimal disturbance.
To emphasize this pinnacle of engineering, the team compared water disruptions caused by seahorses with those of sticklebacks, a relative of the seahorse but with a more traditional fishy look. Thanks to the shape and contours of the seahorse's head, that predator produced significantly less fluid deformation in the surrounding water than the stickleback. The poor stickleback possesses neither the morphology nor posture to generate "a hydrodynamically quiet zone where strikes occur," the authors describe. In other words, while the seahorse may appear a bit odd so far as fishes go, evolution was obviously looking out for that funny but deadly animal's best interests.

Temporary Companion Leads Uranus in Its Race Around the Sun
A rocky, icy body the size of Rhode Island is playing follow the leader with the seventh planet from the Sun, whizzing along Uranus' orbit one-sixth of a revolution ahead of the planet. The body, temporarily dubbed 2011 QF99, is the first of its type found to circle with Uranus. Researchers reporting in the journal Science document its detection and show that it is probably not alone, promising a clearer picture of the ongoing celestial pinball game in the solar system's outer reaches.
Thousands of similarly positioned bodies are known to exist around Jupiter; they are called Trojans because each is named for a mythological character in the Trojan War. But scientists had believed that gravitational tug around Uranus and Saturn, particularly the pull of Jupiter, made similar companions there unlikely.
What exactly are Trojans? Their story dates back to the 18th century, when a famous mathematician named Joseph-Louis Lagrange wrote an essay on the problem of three bodies, identifying five positions where the gravitational effects of a body orbiting another body (think of the Earth-Moon system as a single body circling the Sun) would allow a third smaller body to stay balanced. When located at any of these five Lagrange Points, the third body would appear stationary relative to the other two. Three of these five positions, called L1, L3 and L3, would be unstable–if the third body drifted just a bit off course from any of these positions, it could never recover from the misstep. L1 and L2 are ideal locations for placing artificial satellites that study the Sun and space, although the spacecrafts' trajectories have to be constantly tweaked so that they stay at these points.
But at two Lagrange Points, dubbed L4 and L5, the body would be pulled right back regardless of which way it drifted, causing it to swing around the point like a gymnast on a high bar. In fact, multiple bodies–many thousands–could dance around each point within an elongated region of stability that contours to the orbital path of the planet. One of these points sits 60 degrees ahead on that orbital path and another 60 degrees behind.
Other three-body systems have these same balance points, and in 1906 astronomers found an asteroid in the L4 region of Jupiter's orbit around the Sun, naming the body Achilles. In the following years, more Trojan asteroids were discovered around Jupiter's L4 and L5 and, more recently, Trojans have been found along other planets' orbits, including Mars', Neptune's and even Earth's.
But none had turned up for Uranus or Saturn–until now. As part of a Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope survey designed to search for small bodies orbiting beyond the most distant planet, Neptune, a team of astronomers spotted 2011 QF99 in three images taken an hour apart on the same patch of sky. The object's brightness suggested it was 60 kilometers across and its orbit pinned it as distant as Uranus, but further observations in 2011 and 2012 distinguished it from a Centaur, an unstable icy body that orbits the Sun and occasionally crosses, but doesn't follow or lead, planetary orbits. The team's study showed 2011 QF99 running out ahead of Uranus like a dog on a leash: It was an L4 Trojan.
"A Uranian Trojan was not the focus of our survey," says Mike Alexandersen, an astronomer at the University of British Columbia. "When we realized what it was, we were like 'Whoa, wow.'"
Unlike most other known Trojans, which adopted their current positions early during the solar system's formation, 2011 QF99 was probably first a Centaur and was captured at L4 later on, caught as it leaked inward from more distant reaches. Numerical analyses of the details of the orbit of 2011 QF99 suggest it will remain as a Trojan for 70,000 years before, after a million years or so, it moves beyond the L4 region of stability and rejoins the Centaurs.
2011 QF99, then, is a temporary Trojan. And simulations by Alexandersen and his team, reported for the first time in the new paper, find that 2011 QF99 is not alone. About 3 percent of the small bodies in the outer solar system share an orbit with Neptune or Uranus at any given time. "There are a lot of asteroids and comets flying around the solar system, and a lot of them cross the orbits of planets and only a tiny fraction get captured," he says. Capture is "a low probability event. Intuitively, we thought it had an even lower probability."
While the more permanent Trojans have quite a lot to to say about primordial jostling, the temporary Trojans–including others discovered orbiting with Neptune and Earth–could reveal information on the amount of Centaurs populating the nether reaches, how exactly they got there and what paths they follow.
"Those unstable objects, the Centaurs, often go on to become Jupiter-family comets, many of which approach the Earth and could, eventually, pose an impact threat," says Jonti Horner, an astronomer at the University of New South Wales who wasn't involved in the study. "Being able to study those objects when they're far from the Sun, and therefore not hidden by a cometary coma, can tell us a lot about comets and other objects that can threaten Earth."
"It's a really exciting discovery for me, and for other people who look at the solar system's small bodies," he added.
Alexandersen, who notes that the risk of impact is extremely low, says the results speak to how much is still left to know about our solar system. He predicts that more will be revealed as astronomers continue to detect smaller and smaller objects. "If there is one 60-kilometer Trojan, then there are probably dozens of one-kilometer Trojans," he says. "We just can't see them yet."

The Science Behind Honey's Eternal Shelf Life
Modern archeologists, excavating ancient Egyptian tombs, have often found something unexpected amongst the tombs' artifacts: pots of honey, thousands of years old, and yet still preserved. Through millennia, the archeologists discover, the food remains unspoiled, an unmistakable testament to the eternal shelf-life of honey.
There are a few other examples of foods that keep–indefinitely–in their raw state: salt, sugar, dried rice are a few. But there's something about honey; it can remain preserved in a completely edible form, and while you wouldn't want to chow down on raw rice or straight salt, one could ostensibly dip into a thousand year old jar of honey and enjoy it, without preparation, as if it were a day old. Moreover, honey's longevity lends it other properties–mainly medicinal–that other resilient foods don't have. Which raises the question–what exactly makes honey such a special food?
The answer is as complex as honey's flavor–you don't get a food source with no expiration date without a whole slew of factors working in perfect harmony.
The first comes from the chemical make-up of honey itself. Honey is, first and foremost, a sugar. Sugars are hygroscopic, a term that means they contain very little water in their natural state but can readily suck in moisture if left unsealed. As Amina Harris, executive director of the Honey and Pollination Center at the Robert Mondavi Institute at Univeristy of California, Davis explains, "Honey in its natural form is very low moisture. Very few bacteria or microorganisms can survive in an environment like that, they just die. They're smothered by it, essentially." What Harris points out represents an important feature of honey's longevity: for honey to spoil, there needs to be something inside of it that can spoil. With such an inhospitable environment, organisms can't survive long enough within the jar of honey to have the chance to spoil.
Honey is also naturally extremely acidic. "It has a pH that falls between 3 and 4.5, approximately, and that acid will kill off almost anything that wants to grow there," Harris explains. So bacteria and spoil-ready organisms must look elsewhere for a home–the life expectancy inside of honey is just too low.
But honey isn't the only hygroscopic food source out there. Molasses, for example, which comes from the byproduct of cane sugar, is extremely hygroscopic, and is acidic, though less so than honey (molasses has a pH of around 5.5). And yet–although it may take a long time, as the sugar cane product has a longer shelf-life than fresh produce, eventually molasses will spoil.
So why does one sugar solution spoil, while another lasts indefinitely? Enter bees.
"Bees are magical," Harris jokes. But there is certainly a special alchemy that goes into honey. Nectar, the first material collected by bees to make honey, is naturally very high in water–anywhere from 60-80 percent, by Harris' estimate. But through the process of making honey, the bees play a large part in removing much of this moisture by flapping their wings to literally dry out the nectar. On top of behavior, the chemical makeup of a bees stomach also plays a large part in honey's resilience. Bees have an enzyme in their stomachs called glucose oxidase (PDF). When the bees regurgitate the nectar from their mouths into the combs to make honey, this enzyme mixes with the nectar, breaking it down into two by-products: gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide. "Then," Harris explains, "hydrogen peroxide is the next thing that goes into work against all these other bad things that could possibly grow."
For this reason, honey has been used for centuries as a medicinal remedy. Because it's so thick, rejects any kind of growth and contains hydrogen peroxide, it creates the perfect barrier against infection for wounds. The earliest recorded use of honey for medicinal purposes comes from Sumerian clay tablets, which state that honey was used in 30 percent of prescriptions. The ancient Egyptians used medicinal honey regularly, making ointments to treat skin and eye diseases. "Honey was used to cover a wound or a burn or a slash, or something like that, because nothing could grow on it – so it was a natural bandage," Harris explains.
What's more, when honey isn't sealed in a jar, it sucks in moisture. "While it's drawing water out of the wound, which is how it might get infected, it's letting off this very minute amount of hydrogen peroxide. The amount of hydrogen peroxide comes off of honey is exactly what we need–it's so small and so minute that it actually promotes healing." And honey for healing open gashes is no longer just folk medicine–in the past decade, Derma Sciences, a medical device company, has been marketing and selling MEDIHONEY, bandages covered in honey used in hospitals around the world.
If you buy your honey from the supermarket, that little plastic bottle of golden nectar has been heated, strained and processed so that it contains zero particulates, meaning that there's nothing in the liquid for molecules to crystallize on, and your supermarket honey will look the same for almost forever. If you buy your honey from a small-scale vendor, however, certain particulates might remain, from pollen to enzymes. With these particulates, the honey might crystallize, but don't worry–if it's sealed, it's not spoiled and won't be for quite some time.
A jar of honey's seal, it turns out, is the final factor that's key to honey's long shelf life, as exemplified by the storied millennia-old Egyptian specimens. While honey is certainly a super-food, it isn't supernatural–if you leave it out, unsealed in a humid environment, it will spoil. As Harris explains, " As long as the lid stays on it and no water is added to it, honey will not go bad. As soon as you add water to it, it may go bad. Or if you open the lid, it may get more water in it and it may go bad."
So if you're interested in keeping honey for hundreds of years, do what the bees do and keep it sealed–a hard thing to do with this delicious treat!

Scientists Get Best View Yet of the Structure of Glass
A glass of merlot may make the world look rosy, but it can also be a source of frustration for a physicist. The wine pours, splashes and swirls, yet the glass remains stiff as a solid vessel. Zoom in on the merlot and you'll see molecules held close together but moving about with no fixed position. Zoom in on the wine glass and you'll also see this disordered arrangement, but no movement.
On an atomic level, the two forms of matter look the same. Even though a glass is frozen solid, it lacks the rigid crystalline structure found in, say, ice cubes.
Though artisans have been making glass for millennia and scientists have been studying its structure for decades, until now there has been no clear experimental evidence to confirm what prevents liquids that form glasses from crystallizing. In a new paper published online in Science, a team of Japanese researchers used a high-powered electron diffraction microscope to view glass at the tiniest scales yet. At such high resolution they saw what looks to be a basic unit of some glasses–atoms packed in a distorted version of an icosahedron, a three dimensional shape with 20 faces.
With sophisticated geometric tools, the team characterized those distortions, reporting in the paper that they allow the system to "retain dense atomic packing and a low energy state." Certain arrangements of atoms, the researchers conclude, are the very essence of glassiness because they interfere with the development of a well-organized crystal.
Though the researchers were studying a glass made of zirconium and platinum, not your average windowpane, the results may hold for glasses more broadly. By understanding the ways atoms organize, material scientists can find ways to make new glasses and manipulate the ones they've got.
But glass is far from figured out. While the study explains why some liquids form glasses instead of crystallizing, it doesn't explain why these liquids can become sluggish enough to be solid, says Duke University chemist Patrick Charbonneau. A large community of scientists have been attempting to resolve the sluggishness since the 1980s, but they can't agree on the solution and they even argue about the best approach.
One popular strategy takes a step back to try to understand how atoms fill a given space. It treats the atoms in glass as hard spheres packed together. Simple, right? "There is no quantum mechanics, there is no string theory, you don't have to invoke outer space," Charbonneau says. And yet even studying glass in this way has proven incredibly difficult because of the complications that come with figuring out what positions so many particles could occupy. On top of the inherent challenge of describing the arrangement of the spheres, the approach is a simplification and it is not clear how relevant it would be for real-world glasses.
Still, Charbonneau appears energized when he talks about such research problems. His glass of merlot is half full, because he believes the last few years have brought immense progress. Scientists, he says, have become more creative in asking questions about glass. Charbonneau's own research simulates glass in higher dimensions, findings that could have important implications for the degree of disorder in three-dimensional glass. Other researchers are considering what would happen if you immobilized some particles in a supercooled liquid, hoping to illuminate how such liquids achieve a glassy state. Still more are considering atoms in glass as entities that can move on their own, sort of like biological cells. All of these efforts are trying to determine the types of interactions that contribute to the formation of glass, so that scientists will recognize a really good sluggishness theory when they see it.
Despite all this talk about movement, don't expect your wine glass to flow in any visible way anytime soon. This glass "will last longer than the timescale of the universe," Charbonneau says. Claims that the stained glass in medieval cathedrals is thicker at the bottom because glass flows are bunk. But exactly why it doesn't flow still remains a mystery.

Can We Power a Space Mission To An Exoplanet?
Every day, it seems, a new exoplanet is found (or, in the case of Tuesday, scientists discovered three potentially habitable exoplanets orbiting one star). But there are loads of hurdles that we'll have to clear before we ever have the chance to visit them: the massive doses of radiation that would be absorbed by would-be astronauts, the potential damage caused by interstellar dust and gas to a craft moving at extremely high speeds, and the fact that traveling to even the nearest habitable exoplanet would take almost 12 years in a spacecraft traveling at the speed of light.
The biggest problem, though, might be the enormous amount of energy such a craft would require. How do you fuel a spacecraft for a journey more than 750,000 times farther than the distance between the Earth and the Sun?
Based on our current technology for exploring space and potential future approaches, here's a rundown of the possible ways of propelling spacecraft.
Conventional Rockets: These create thrust by burning a chemical propellant stored inside, either a solid or liquid fuel. The energy released as a result of this combustion lifts a craft out of Earth's gravitational field and into space.
Pros: Rocket technology is well-established and well-understood, as it dates to ancient China and has been used since the very beginning of the space age. In terms of distance, its greatest achievement thus far is carrying the Voyager 1 space probe to the outer edge of the solar system, roughly 18.5 billion miles away from Earth.
Cons: The Voyager 1 is projected to run out of fuel around the year 2040, an indication of how limited in range conventional rockets and thrusters can carry a spacecraft. Moreover, even if we could fit a sufficient amount of rocket fuel onto a spacecraft to carry it all the way to another star, the staggering fact is that we likely don't even have enough fuel on our entire planet to do so. Brice Cassenti, a professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, told Wired that it would take an amount of energy that surpasses the current output of the entire world to send a craft to the nearest star using a conventional rocket.
Ion engines: These work somewhat like conventional rockets, except instead of expelling the products of chemical combustion to generate thrust, they shoot out streams of electrically-charged atoms (ions). The technology was first successfully demonstrated on NASA's 1998 Deep Space 1 mission, in which a rocket closely flew past both an asteroid and a comet to collect data, and has since been used to propel several other spacecraft, including an ongoing mission to visit the dwarf planet Ceres.
Pros: These engines produces much less thrust and initial speed than a conventional rocket—so they can't be used to escape the Earth's atmosphere—but once carried into space by conventional rockets, they can run continuously for much longer periods (because they use a denser fuel more efficiently), allowing a craft to gradually build up speed and surpass the velocity of one propelled by a conventional rocket.
Cons: Though faster and more efficient than conventional rockets, using an ion drive to travel to even the nearest star would still take an overwhelmingly long time—at least 19,000 years, by some estimates, which means that somewhere on the order of 600 to 2700 generations of humans would be needed to see it through. Some have suggested that ion engines could fuel a trip to Mars, but interstellar space is probably outside the realm of possibility.
Nuclear Rockets: Many space exploration enthusiasts have advocated for the use of nuclear reaction-powered rockets to cover vast distances of interstellar space, dating to Project Daedalus, a theoretical British project that sought to design an unmanned probe to reach Barnard's Star, 5.9 light-years away. Nuclear rockets would theoretically be powered by a series of controlled nuclear explosions, perhaps using pure deuterium or tritium as fuel.
Pros: Calculations have shown that a craft propelled in this way could reach speeds faster than 9000 miles per second, translating to a travel time of roughly 130 years to Alpha Centurai, the star nearest the Sun—longer than a human lifetime, but perhaps within the realm of a multi-generational mission. It's not the Millenium Falcon making the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs, but it's something.
Cons: For one, nuclear-powered rockets are, at present, entirely hypothetical. In the short-term, they'll probably stay that way, because the detonation of any nuclear device (whether intended as a weapon or not) in outer space would violate the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, which permits such explosions in exactly one location: underground. Even if legally permitted, there are enormous safety concerns regarding the launch of a nuclear device into space atop a conventional rocket: An unexpected error could cause radioactive material to rain across the planet.
Solar Sails: In comparison to all the other technologies on this list, these operate on a rather different principle: Instead of propelling a craft by burning fuel or creating other sorts of combustion, solar sails pull a vehicle by harnessing the energy of the charged particles ejected from the Sun as part of the solar wind. The first successful demonstration of such a technology was Japan's IKAROS spacecraft, launched in 2010, which traveled towards Venus and is now journeying towards the Sun, and NASA's Sunjammer, seven times larger, is going to launch in 2014.
Pros: Because they don't have to carry a set amount of fuel—instead using the power of the Sun, much like a sailboat harnesses the energy of the wind—a solar sail-aided spacecraft can cruise more-or-less indefinitely.
Cons: These travel much slower than rocket-powered crafts. But more important for interstellar missions—they require the energy ejected from the Sun or another star to travel at all, making it impossible for them to traverse the vast spaces between the reach of our Sun's solar wind and that of another star system's. Solar sails could potentially be incorporated into a craft with other means of propelling itself, but can't be relied upon alone for an interstellar journey.
Antimatter Rockets: This proposed technology would use the products of a matter-antimatter annihilation reaction (either gamma rays or highly-charged subatomic particles called pions) to propel a craft through space.
Pros: Using antimatter to power a rocket would theoretically be the most efficient fuel possible, as nearly all of the mass of the matter and antimatter are converted to energy when they annihilate each other. In theory, if we were able to work out the details and produce enough antimatter, we could build a spacecraft that travels at speeds nearly as fast as that of light—the highest velocity possible for any object.
Cons: We don't yet have a way to generate enough antimatter for a space journey—estimates are that a month-long trip to Mars would require about 10 grams of antimatter. To date, we've only been able to create small numbers of atoms of antimatter, and doing so has consumed a large amount of fuel, making the idea of an antimatter rocket prohibitively expensive as well. Storing this antimatter is another issue: Proposed schemes involve the use of frozen pellets of antihydrogen, but these too are a far way off.
More speculative technologies: Scientists have proposed all sorts of radical, non-rocket-based technologies for interstellar travel. These include a craft that would harvest hydrogen from space as it travels to use in a nuclear fusion reaction, beams of light or magnetic fields shot from our own Solar System at a distant spacecraft that would be harnessed by a sail, and the use of black holes or theoretical wormholes to travel faster than the speed of light and make an interstellar journey possible in a single human's lifetime.
All of these are extremely far away from implementation. But, if we do ever make it to another star system at all (a big if, to be sure), given the problems with most existing and near-future technologies, it might indeed be one of these pie-in-the-sky ideas that carry us there—and perhaps allow us to visit a habitable exoplanet.

Today is a date some of us remember
all too well. It is a day that is
etched in our memories.
November, 22, 1963 still haunts some of
It started like any other day, except I
skipped school to play pool. At the time
we liked to call these episodes 'goof off
days that the school doesn't recognize'.
I had just finished lunch and Bobby Vinton
was singing "Blue Velvet" on the radio when
the song stopped and an announcer broke in.
"President Kennedy has been shot in Dallas."
The silence was deafening. Everyone just
looked at everyone else like they were
expecting them to explain.
We got to a TV set, turned it on, and
waited for it to warm up. After it did we
sat around the TV like campers around a
campfire awaiting more news.
Then came the news we were all dreading,
President Kennedy had died. There was a
mixture of anger, tears, confusion, and denial
in the room.
Schools let out early, flags flew at half
staff, and our nation mourned. America's
Camelot had vanished in a blink.
Our TVs were broadcast in living black
and white, we watched the radio a lot more,
and there were no 24 hour news channels.
It all unfolded in our living rooms
regardless of where we lived. From the shots,
to the killing of the assassin, to the
burial, and America grieved.
Comments are always welcome.

NEW YORK (WABC) -- The family of a 12-year-old East Harlem boy who committed suicide blames neighborhood bullies for his death.
A candlelight memorial for Joel Morales has been set up outside the Jefferson Houses, where Morales lived and died.
His mother says he hanged himself on a shower rod Tuesday.
The family had gone as far as transferring schools to get away from kids who taunted him about being short and brainy.
But his mother says the bullying continued in his own neighborhood.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
In turnabout, Iraq seeking new counterterror aid from US 2 years after troop withdrawal
WASHINGTON - A bloody resurgence of al-Qaida in Iraq is prompting Baghdad to ask the U.S. for more weapons, training and manpower, two years after pushing American troops out of the country.
The request will be discussed during a White House meeting Friday between Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and President Barack Obama in what Baghdad hopes will be a fresh start in a complicated relationship that has been marked both by victories and frustrations for each side.
Al-Maliki will discuss Iraq's plight in a public speech Thursday at the U.S. Institute for Peace in Washington.
"We know we have major challenges of our own capabilities being up to the standard. They currently are not," Lukman Faily, the Iraqi ambassador to the U.S., told The Associated Press in an interview Wednesday. "We need to gear up, to deal with that threat more seriously. We need support and we need help."
He added, "We have said to the Americans we'd be more than happy to discuss all the options short of boots on the ground."
"Boots on the ground" means military forces. The U.S. withdrew all but a few hundred of its troops from Iraq in December 2011 after Baghdad refused to renew a security agreement to extend legal immunity for Americans forces, which would have let more stay.
At the time, the withdrawal was hailed as a victory for the Obama administration, which campaigned on ending the Iraq war and had little appetite for pushing Baghdad into a new security agreement. But within months, violence began creeping up in the capital and across the country as Sunni Muslim insurgents, angered by a widespread belief that Sunnis have been sidelined by the Shiite-led government, lashed out, with no U.S. troops to keep them in check.
More than 5,000 Iraqis have been killed in attacks since April, and suicide bombers launched 38 strikes in the last month alone.
Al-Maliki is expected to ask Obama for new assistance to bolster its military and fight al-Qaida. Faily said that could include everything from speeding up the delivery of U.S. aircraft, missiles, interceptors and other weapons, to improving national intelligence systems. And when asked, he did not rule out the possibility of asking the U.S. to send military special forces or additional CIA advisers to Iraq to help train and assist counterterror troops.
If the U.S. does not commit to providing the weapons or other aid quickly, "we will go elsewhere," Faily said. That means Iraq will step up diplomacy with nations like China or Russia that would be more than happy to increase their influence in Baghdad at U.S. expense.
The two leaders also will discuss how Iraq can improve its fractious government, which so often is divided among sectarian or ethnic lines, to give it more confidence with a bitter and traumatized public.
The ambassador said no new security agreement would be needed to give immunity to additional U.S. advisers or trainers in Iraq — the main sticking point that led to U.S. withdrawal. And he said Iraq would pay for the additional weapons or other assistance.
A senior Obama administration official said Wednesday that U.S. officials were not planning to send U.S. trainers to Iraq and that Baghdad had not asked for them. The administration official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief reporters by name.
U.S. officials were prepared to help Iraq with an across-the-board approach that did not focus just on military or security gaps, the administration official said. The aid under consideration might include more weapons for Iraqi troops who do not have necessary equipment to battle al-Qaida insurgents, he said.
Administration officials consider the insurgency, which has rebranded itself as the Islamic State of Iraq in the Levant, a major and increasing threat both to Iraq and the U.S., the official said.
U.S. and Iraqi officials see a possible solution in trying to persuade insurgents to join forces with Iraqi troops and move away from al-Qaida, following a pattern set by so-called Awakening Councils in western Iraq that marked a turning point in the war. Faily said much of the additional aid — including weapons and training — would go toward this effort.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who opposed the U.S. troop withdrawal in 2011, said Iraq likely would not get the aid until al-Maliki, a Shiite, makes strides in making the government more inclusive to Sunnis.
"If he expects the kind of assistance that he's asking for, we need a strategy and we need to know exactly how that's going to be employed, and we need to see some changes in Iraq," McCain said Wednesday after a tense meeting on Capitol Hill with al-Maliki. "The situation is deteriorating and it's unraveling, and he's got to turn it around."
Al-Maliki's plea for aid is somewhat ironic, given that he refused to budge in 2011 on letting U.S. troops stay in Iraq with legal immunity Washington said they must have to defend themselves in the volatile country. But it was a fiercely unpopular political position in Iraq, which was unable to prosecute Blackwater Worldwide security contractors who opened fire in a Baghdad square in 2007, killing at least 13 passersby.
James F. Jeffrey, who was the U.S. ambassador in Baghdad when the U.S. troops left, called it a "turnabout" by al-Maliki. He said Iraq desperately needs teams of U.S. advisers, trainers, intelligence and counterterror experts to beat back al-Qaida.
"We have those people," said Jeffrey, who retired from the State Department after leaving Baghdad last year. "We had plans to get them in after 2011. They can be under embassy privileges and immunities. They will cost the American people almost nothing. They will, by and large, not be in any more danger than our State Department civilians. And they could mean all the difference between losing an Iraq that 4,500 Americans gave their lives for."
Nearly 4,500 U.S. troops were killed in Iraq between the 2003 invasion and the 2011 withdrawal. More than 100,000 Iraqi were killed in that time.

Telltale: Season Two of The Walking Dead news "coming pretty soon" | |
Posted: 07.10.2013 23:22 by JonahFalcon | Comments: 0 |
Telltale's new episodic adventure The Wolf Among Us, based on the Fables comics, is currently available for preorder, but Telltale's Dennis Lenart teased in an IGN video interview that the second season of The Walking Dead is "coming pretty soon". According to Lenart, "It's coming pretty soon. We're hard working on development right now. With Telltale, we won't release until it's right so there's always this constant iteration. "I mean, even during season one there was talk of season two and where we wanted to take it from there," he continued, "So it's a thing we've all be super excited about and thinking about for a long time now. It's actually fun to finally see that being made." The 400 Days downloadable content that was released for first season The Walking Dead on the 3rd July this year serves as a bridge between the two seasons. Check out Strategy Informer's review here.

And here I thought DWS was the biggest liar his week. Thank you President Obama for upping the level of fiction emenating from your administration. True leadership, I tell ya!
Well...it's taken all summer to get here, but the Labor Day holiday is finally upon is. Have a nice weekend and don't do anything stupid, especially if the cops are about.
Feel free to post what you like, by the way...
So not only are we giving the enemy enough time to move all their weaponry into secure locations, days in advance of the planned attack / maybe / gosh I dunno / we'll get back to you, while all this is going on Russia is moving and and our allies are quickly dropping their support.
The UK pulled its support as their people mounted strong protests against attacking Syria and the French, after screaming like they were ready to "punish" Syria for chemical bombings, are now slowly backtracking towards the the fork in the road that pointed to the tore up street labeled "Political Solutions".
Meanwhile the UN is still over in Syria trying to figure out what the US and Israel already deemed unquestionable and whether or not it requires action on their end. Don't hold your breathe waiting for any answers anytime soon. Just saying.
Red lines have been crossed, war is on the brink and the people that sounded so adament about beating down Syria's doors mere days ago are having to replan their attack.... that or they're trying to figure out how to back out of this Syria situation too with minimal political reprocusions thanks to empty threats and damning rhetoric on the part of this entire administration.
Thread is open... bomb's away.
I couldn't help but laugh at this photo of President Obama visiting a heavy equipment company to talk about jobs, tuition or something else that enables him and his supporters to remain somewhat oblivious to tensions overseas.
See if you can identify the humorous part:

Hoping to improve the Catholic Church's outreach (I guess), Pope Francis has been making prank phone calls to strangers. I suppose that is no more unusal than cats playing an electric keyboard...

Western and Southern Illinois... take note:
(NEWSER) – At least four rural Colorado counties will vote Nov. 5 on whether to make "Northern Colorado" the 51st state. Fed up with what they see as a lack of representation in Denver, Weld County yesterday became the largest county to get on board, after its commissioners voted to place the referendum on its fall ballot; Cheyenne, Sedgwick, and Yuma counties will do the same, theWashington Times reports. Voters will be asked whether they want their counties to "pursue becoming the 51st state of the United States of America?" That state would potentially be comprised of 11 counties—the other seven are still considering the referendum, ABC Denver reports. But a "yes" vote would still leave a number of hurdles to clear.
Here's a map of the proposed state:
When I signed up with Verizon, I didn't realize I was also enrolled in the NSA's 'share everything' plan, but I suppose all phone services provide this perk. Anyone who has been following Edward Snowden's odyssey, of course, is well aware of the National Security Agency's fetish for snooping into Americans' private conversations, but it would seem that many of these little eavesdropping occurrences were ILLEGAL!
Then again, our friends in government remind us that this active listening is for our own safety. Have a nice weekend and post what you like. No doubt, someone's listening...
Now if I could just bum a ride from somebody to Pierce, NE next month...
Caught this on NBC news last night. Blew my mind that I hadn't heard about this the past couple weeks (hmmm... maybe I AM working too much). What's being called the holy grail of antique cars is set to go up for auction Saturday September 28th, 2013. (Take a look at those photos)
Just to quickly fill you in on the story, Lambrecht Motors was a new car dealer in the middle of Nowhere, NE that took in trades, then tucked the trade-ins away to keep used cars off the market and limit the car shoppers with two options: buy new or drive far away to look at used cars. Doesn't sound like a pain today with sites like websites like Ebay, AutoTrader, CarMax, etc... but it's another story entirely if you're talking about driving an hour or better each time you want to kick some tires.
As times changed, so did the business model, but for 50 years Lambrecht Motors stood as a store front for a gold mine and very few people knew about it. Secluded with the giant inventory of used cars sat new cars that never sold and collector cars like a '78 Corvette coupe (25th anniversay) with 5 miles on it, hidden away like an ugly family secret, or more like a time capsule just waiting to be opened...
Skip forward to 2013 and it's the talk of every mechanic, dealer and car enthusiast. The time capsule has been cracked wide open and the family is ready to sell every single content... and everybody that's anybody in the world of car collectors will be watching (and bidding away).
For those that care:

So...we have a rodeo clown banned for life, his companions ordered to take sensitivity training. Why? Because one of them satirized a sitting president. I guess it is NOT OKAY to piss off the King or his followers...
More terror in the skies, and no doubt Janet Reno would be telling us "the system worked" if she were still with the Office of Homeland Security...
Have a nice weekend and feel free to post what you like.
Off all the things that make big news these days...
Despite city and university officials best efforts to cut down on the partying throughout campus, the University of Iowa has captured the top spot as America's Top Party School. They've gotten increasingly closer and closer to the top spot over the years and now they've finally pulled it off. Finally... the U of I... #1 in the nation.
Now I'm sure some are likely some very proud people (students) with this little bit of news, while others are probably nervous as all hell (parents, deans, grad assistants, etc.)

1. University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa
2. University of California, Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, Calif.
3. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, Ill.
4. West Virginia University, Morgantown W. Va.
5. Syracuse University, Syracuse, N.Y.

On the flip side, much to very little surprise, BYU was ranked as the most "Stone-Cold Sober" school in America for 2013.

On most fronts, what the Quisling-in-Chief fails to accomplish is a plus for this republic.
But because of these setbacks to his collectivist agenda, I do anticipate more Il Duce-like attempts to subvert the role of Congress via the use of executive orders. Will Congress have the will to fight that abuse? Time will tell.

I was majorly craving fresh vegetables after countless greasy tacos and fajitas. No fear, we found the most AMAZING salad restaurant I have ever seen in my life. I am not exaggerating one bit.

Dubai: In September the UAE's official weekend will be Friday and Saturday. All public sector establishments as well as government and private schools will adopt the new weekend in place of the present Thursday-Friday.
UAE | General
Friday-Saturday weekend in UAE from September
In September the UAE's official weekend will be Friday and Saturday. All public sector establishments as well as government and private schools will adopt the new weekend.
- Saudi Arabia: Thursday-Friday
- Kuwait: Thursday-Friday
- Bahrain: Thursday-Friday
- Qatar: Friday-Saturday
- Oman: Thursday-Friday
- Jordan: Friday-Saturday
- Syria: Friday-Saturday
- Egypt: Thursday-Friday
- Lebanon: Saturday-Sunday
The decision was taken by the Cabinet in line with the directives of President His Highness Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, WAM reported yesterday. The decision will apply to all federal and government organisations as well schools from September 1, it said.
The move was proposed to the Cabinet earlier by Dr. Ali Bin Abdullah Al Ka'abi, Minister of Labour.
A study conducted by the National Human Resources Development and Employment Authority (Tanmia) showed it would boost the stock markets, banks, insurance companies and the UAE's foreign trade.
It would also help to increase private sector business activity and reduce losses from the long interruption caused by the difference between the UAE's weekend and the rest of the world.
The business sector welcomed the news, saying it will boost the financial sector. Some private school academicians, however, were non-committal.

Mobile ad platform Amobee has added Personal Argentina, the largest mobile network operator in Argentina, to its stable of customers. Seven-year old Amobee serves global brands and publishers, as well as mobile operators including Vodafone, Sprint and O2.
Personal Argentina will use Amobee's PULSE for Publishers platform to monetize its direct and remnant mobile advertising inventory by serving relevant and contextual ads. The platform's analytics capabilities and support for innovative ad formats will enable the mobile company to offer brands more visibility into a campaign performance. As such, they will be able to make better informed decisions and ensure that their mobile ads reach the right audience, while getting enhanced ROI on their mobile spend .
The service has been live on the Amobee platform for several months in a phased rollout, according to Mark Strecker, COO of Amobee, which was acquired by SingTel in March 2012. The company provides ad serving and analytics on an SAAS basis, being paid with a share of the revenue generated.
"Mobile network operators can use our platform not just for their own mobile inventory," Strecker said. "They can provide access to smaller companies, such as application developers or websites that want access to the reach and data and billing relationships that the mobile operator has."
At the same time, Amobee provides real-time ad mediation services, taking operators' remnant inventory and passing it to automated ad exchanges for sale.

text: Who's the next Guv'nor of the Bank of England? Yusuf Yassin , Editor, Saxo Bank UK Filed in Macro Digest United Kingdom, 03 October 2012 at 04:35 GMT+0 Recommended Recommend Unrecommend Recommend Non-Independent Investment Research On 30 June, 2013, Mervyn King, the governor of the Bank of England (BoE), and arguably one of the most powerful unelected officials in the UK, will step down when his second five-year, non-renewable term as head of the central bank comes to an end. UK Chancellor George Osborne is tasked with selecting the person who will fill King's large shoes and lead the UK economy back to recovery. The search has already begun, with the role for the first time being advertised publicly. The governor has traditionally been recruited by the Chancellor from the inside the BoE - both Mervyn King and his predecessor Lord George were deputy governors at the Bank before getting the top job. However, the Chancellor, perhaps under pressure to solve the current economic woes, has decided to open the search to a wider range of candidates, which includes foreigners and former bankers. Short-listed applicants will need to appear before the Treasury Select Committee for a hearing before taking up the role, however, the ultimate decision rests with Osborne, with a decision expected by the end of this year. We've picked five of the favourites to win, their stance on monetary policy and odds of being selected. Paul Tucker - Dove The Bank insider and favourite (6/4 odds of winning, according to bookmaker Paddy Power) to take over from King, Tucker has more than 22 years of experience at the BoE, having joined in 1989, and undertaken stints at the BoE's Monetary Analysis, Markets and Financial Stability divisions. A Bank veteran, Tucker is among the new breed of central bankers with both a strong grasp of monetary policy and financial stability issues, and his selection would suit the BoE's new structure with greater powers to supervise banks. Dubbed the 'King clone' by one former Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) member, Tucker's voting record is almost identical to that of Mervyn King. The only occasion they disagreed on policy was in June this year when King voted to increase the size of asset purchases by GBP 50 billion, where as Tucker preferred to keep QE unchanged. Tucker later changed this position to match King's at the next meeting. I expect if Tucker is selected to head the central bank it will be a case of 'more of the same' on UK monetary policy. Lord Adair Turner – Ultra Dove Currently chairman of the Financial Services Authority and more recently a member of the BoE's Financial Policy Committee, Lord Turner (5/2 odds) has had a varied career in business, public policy and academia. Turner offers a different style of leadership to King. The current governor has spearheaded the Bank's monetary policy over the last eight years and many fear his growing responsibilities have turned him into a power junkie. Like his counterpart in the US, Ben Bernanke, and former ECB president Jean-Claude Trichet, King is known to impose his views on other committee members. In contrast, Lord Turner is likely to prefer a de-centralised approach to policy at the central bank. In an interview with Bloomberg in July, Turner claimed that the Bank of England should not rely on a "God-like" figure at the top of the bank, and that the MPC should instead be the key decision-making body at the central bank. On monetary policy, Turner has positioned himself among the doves. He supported the Bank's decision to keep rates low when inflation was peaking at 5% and has backed the new Funding for Lending Scheme. He has even called for more radical steps to be taken to boost growth and prevent deflation in the UK. However, his poor record at the FSA, where he oversaw the failure of Northern Rock and near-collapse of RBS, has damaged his reputation. If selected, I expect Lord Turner to take a more active approach on the Bank's Financial Policy Committee than on the MPC, which he would also head as governor. Lord O'Donnell – Moderate The former Cabinet Secretary, Lord Gus O'Donnell (11/4 odds) is a very different prospect to Lord Turner. Dubbed "God" after his habit of using his initials to sign off correspondence, but also as a sign of the esteem he commanded in the Civil Service, Lord O'Donnell would exert extreme influence over policy matters at the Bank. Lord O'Donnell worked under three prime ministers - Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and David Cameron - and has significant international experience, including at the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. While O'Donnell has sat through numerous MPC meetings as a Treasury representative, he has never voted on monetary policy and it is not clear how he would position himself on the committee. In government O'Donnell has been a crossbencher, or independent, although he has taken a pro-growth stance on economic policy, having advocated a 'Plan B' to the current austerity measures to the dislike of some coalition government members. A Bank of England under Lord O'Donnell may be inclined to work more closely with UK Treasury on UK economic policy, but this could undermine the central bank's independence and credibility. Some of the other candidates in contention include Mark Carney, currently governor of the Bank of Canada, (11/2 odds) and Jim O'Neill, chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management (9/2 odds). Mark Carney – Moderate Carney was seen as a strong candidate for the role but his commitment to the Bank of Canada until at least 2015 has placed him down the pecking order. The central bank successfully steered Canada out of recession in 2010 under his governorship, but the Canadian economy is far smaller than that of the UK, and the BoE role would present a whole new ball game. Carney had raised his hawkish rhetoric in recent months despite concerns about growth in Canada, but the central bank's decision to leave rates on hold at 1 percent suggests the governor is a moderate inflation targeter. I can't imagine Carney would change a whole lot at the central bank but he does possess the managerial prowess to unite the Bank's MPC on critical issues. Jim O'Neill – Light hawk Of the five candidates mentioned here, Jim O'Neill would bring something very different to the table. He has described the Bank of England's inflation targeting framework as "insufficient" and advocated the use of additional tools to monitor financial stability, in particular credit behaviour and bank lending. Having read some of his commentary, O'Neill appears less pessimistic than the BoE on the outlook of the UK economy. For example, he questions the central bank's measure of productivity, saying that recent evidence sugests that private jobs numbers have been improving, and that part-time work has not been properly accounted for in their calculations. A long shot given his association with Goldman Sachs, Jim O'Neill would certainly be an interesting gamble if selected. Paddy Power has even given former Tottenham Hotspurs football team boss Harry Redknapp a 1000/1 outside chance of taking over as governor. Who do you think will be chosen as Bank of England Governor?

Salisbury Manor opens
12:32pm Monday 30th September 2013 in News By Corey Ross
SALISBURY'S first luxury care home was officially opened on Thursday.
Designed to resemble a boutique hotel, Salisbury Manor care home in Wilton Road was opened by Mayor Penny Brown at a vintage fair-themed event.
Members of the public enjoyed live music, fairground games, sweet and cake stalls as well as a little local history with tours of the new care home, which was formerly called Llangarren House in the 1800s.
Cllr Brown said: "The facilities here are fantastic and the atmosphere is very warm and friendly. It's so important to provide excellent care for older people and I want to wish Salisbury Manor all the very best in their efforts to achieve this."
The care home combines boutique hotel interior design with leading edge dementia and innovative specialist care facilities and services. It will include a luxurious hair and beauty spa, a nail bar, a chic café, a library and will have wi-fi access throughout the home.
Manager Claire Lousteau said: "Salisbury Manor will offer the highest quality of personalised care in a luxury environment and we look forward to welcoming our new residents and finding out the tiny details about their fascinating lives.
"We want to say thank you to everyone in the local community who have made this care home possible and also to welcome new friends and neighbours."
