Rory and Wendy Alec, Angel Week, Ben Nevis
It's Day 5 of Angel Week and the mountain-conquering team is ready to reach the summit of Britain's highest peak. But first Fergus & Rory share about a significant distribution breakthrough for GOD TV in the UK, our upcoming launch on Freeview! "It's all about Jesus," says Wendy as she reads a passage from her book, the Journal of the Unknown Prophet, entitled 'The Entrance of the King'.
"He is the reason we climb our mountains, even when it's hard and we don't know if we'll ever get to the top," she says, "Jesus is the reason we keep going!" There is great jubilation as Rory and the team reach the summit and the shofar is blown across the mountaintop. But most importantly it's a time to pray and make prophetic proclamations, crying out to God for a new hunger for God to fallupon the people of the UK and the nations. "As the walls of Jericho fell, so spiritual walls are coming down in people's lives and all across the world," Rory declares.

Nosler® Accubond® Bonded Core Bullets
Nosler® Accubond® Bonded Core Bullets are truly the benchmark of bonded bullets! The Accubond bonding process completely marries a fully tapered, totally concentric, heavy copper-alloy jacket with a special lead alloy core. This bonding process creates a bullet that delivers extreme accuracy, controlled expansion, deep penetration, and 60-70% weight retention. AccuBond bullets also feature a unique white polymer tip that resists deformation in the magazine and initiates expansion upon impact. Nosler's Solid Base® design jacket base and boat tail configuration deliver large diameter mushroom, and, with the streamlined polymer tip, tremendous long-range performance and accuracy. Minimum Impact Velocity: 1800 fps. Maximum Impact Velocity: 3100 fps. Quantity per box: 50. Note: Not for use in tubular magazines.
Rated 4.9 out of 5 by 9
Rated 4 out of 5 by Theodore Good Purchase
Good bullets for medium to heavy weight game.., and medium speeds. Polymer tip makes them aerodynamic, and do not flatten under recoil in the magazine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by eagle These are BAD bullets!
These bullets are bad! They group extremely well; I average 1/2" groups at 100 yards with my 300WSM. I shoot the 165 grain and they are devastating on deer and elk alike. They penetrate well and have excellent weight retention. I front shoulder shot a nice bull a few years ago at 150 yards and the ball went all the way through. The elk dropped in his tracks. You won't go wrong loading these bullets.
February 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Huntinhard08 Excellent bullet
Bang-flop....time after time with this bullet. Great accuracy and ballistic coefficient. Devastating terminal performance under any circumstance. Highly Recommend to any big game hunter.
January 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nssashooter 280 reloads
This bullet has proven to be an instant whitetail stopper when used in my 280 cal rifles. Having retrieved four bullets from harvested deer, I averaged 97.4 grains of retained weight. Excellent mushrooming without major damaging of the meat. Highly recommend this for any hooved NA big game or African plains animals.

One part of the Daring Cooks challenge this month was to make some sort of fried wonton dessert. The filling and shape were up to us. I chose to go with a Peanut Caramel which I rolled into balls and coated in chocolate before wrapping them up into homemade wonton wrappers. Once they were cooked, I drizzled them with more chocolate and sprinkled them with peanuts. The only thing that I would change about this recipe is that there was too much caramel per wonton. It was very sweet. I wrote the recipe as I would make it next time. I thought these were very tasty and would make an excellent addition to a dessert platter.
Go to the bottom of the post for step-by-step photos.
Caramel Peanut Wontons
- 24 wonton wrappers (recipe here)
- egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1 Tbsp. water)
- 1 recipe peanut caramel
- 8 oz. semi sweet chocolate, melted
- oil (make sure it is suitable for high heat. ie. canola oil)
- 2 Tbsp. finely chopped peanuts
- Dip each caramel ball into chocolate and place back onto parchment paper.
- Cool in the freezer until chocolate is firm.
- Place one wonton wrapper on work surface (making sure to keep others covered with a damp towel). Brush the edges with egg wash.
- Place one chocolate covered caramel into the centre of the wonton. Lift up two opposite corners and press together at the top. Take the remaining two corners and do the same. Seal all corners and openings.
- Cover with damp towel and repeat with remaining wontons and caramel.
- While you are forming the wontons heat 2 inches of oil, over medium heat, to 350ºF (180ºC ). If you do not have a thermometer, an easy way to tell when the oil is ready is to place the handle of a wooden spoon into the hot oil, if bubbles form around it, it is ready.
- Fry the wontons, a few at a time, until golden. About 1 min. Remove with a slotted spoon onto paper towel, to drain.
- Once all of the wontons are fried. Drizzle with remaining chocolate and sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
Makes: 24 wontons
* Do not refrigerate.
Peanut Caramel
adapted from here
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp. corn syrup
- 2 Tbsp. butter, room temp.
- 3/4 cup lightly salted peanuts
- Heat cream to boiling. Keep hot.
- Place sugar in a non-stick skillet warmed over medium heat. Do not stir.
- Once sugar is melted stir in the corn syrup and let bubble until a deep caramel color is reached.
- Stir in the butter carefully as caramel will bubble furiously.
- Once butter is incorporated add cream, being careful of spatters once again.
- Lower the temperature and let simmer for 2 min.
- Remove from heat and stir in peanuts.
- Let cool a bit before dropping by teaspoons (making 24) onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Allow to cool fully.
- Once cool, roll into balls.

Glare is the reflection off your screen that makes it hard to see the screen clearly. Glare can be caused by sunlight on your screen. Or it may be caused by indoor light, such as overhead and task lamps. Simple changes can help lessen glare and reduce strain on your eyes. Adjusting your screen's contrast and brightness can also improve viewing comfort.
Window Coverings
While sitting at your workstation, look at your screen. It should be free of glare from light coming through the windows.
If it isn't, close the blinds or pull the shades to reduce glare.
Know that you may need to adjust window coverings as the sun shifts during the day.
Overhead Light
While sitting at your workstation, look at your screen. It should be free of glare from ceiling lights.
If it isn't, tilt or swivel the monitor so the light doesn't shine on your screen. Antiglare filters for your screen may also help.
Talk to your supervisor about other ways to reduce glare from ceiling lights.
Task Light
If you use a task lamp, turn it on and look at your screen.
If it causes glare on your screen, adjust the angle of your task lamp.
Try tilting or swiveling the monitor to reduce glare. Or, have someone help you move your monitor until it is at a right angle to the window.
To help improve viewing comfort, you may also need to fine-tune your monitor's contrast and brightness. Adjust both contrast and brightness. This gives you the most brightness without blurring.

Guerrillas in Their Midst
Face to face with Congo's imperiled mountain gorillas
- By Paul Raffaele
- Smithsonian magazine, October 2007, Subscribe
The path to the mountain gorillas is not for the fainthearted. For nearly two hours here in Congo, I have climbed almost vertically up a rocky trail through dense jungle, ever wary of running into the anti-government rebel militias that swarm through these mountains. Leading the way are two trackers and three armed rangers who, charged with ensuring the safety of the four gorilla families that live on these slopes, make this journey routinely.
At some 10,000 feet above sea level, on the slopes of Mount Mikeno, a dormant volcano in the Virunga Mountains, the trackers pick up signs of a gorilla clan led by a silverback—so-called for the distinctive silver saddle that appears on a mature male's back—named Humba. The men hack a path through walls of creepers, bamboo and prickly vines, following a trail left by the gorillas. Suddenly, the lead tracker holds up a hand to halt us. He utters a few hoarse coughs—gorilla-speak to tell the great apes we come in peace.
Moments later, about ten yards ahead, Humba yanks aside the creepers to stare at us with imperious grace. His muscled body ripples with power, and his massive head has the gravitas of a Mount Rushmore president. He bares his fearsome canine teeth. "Don't be afraid," a ranger whispers, "he's used to people."
It's the gorillas that have reason to fear. Only about 750 mountain gorillas are left in the world: 350 in Uganda, 270 in Rwanda and a mere 150 here in Congo (formerly Zaire). They have been ravaged by poaching, habitat loss, disease and the violence of war. Many live in lawless regions, sharing territory with armed rebels from Uganda or the remnants of Hutu militias responsible for Rwanda's 1994 genocide of ethnic Tutsis. Today the biggest threat comes from the Congolese area of their range. Rebel groups opposed to Congo president Joseph Kabila control territory in the turbulent east. The most powerful group is led by an ethnic Tutsi named Laurent Nkunda, who commands thousands of well-armed rebels in the Virungas. Not far from here in January, troops from Nkunda's group killed and presumably ate two silverbacks. A female was shot in May, another male and four females were slain in July; their killers had not been identified as we went to press.
It is the desperate plight of mountain gorillas that has brought me halfway across the world to see what is being done to protect them. For one hour (strictly enforced to minimize the animals' exposure to human disease), we watch the silverback and three adult females and five youngsters as they eat, play and doze in their perilous paradise. Every 10 or 15 minutes, Humba knuckle-walks farther up the slope in search of food, followed by his family. I stumble after them.
When our hour is up and we have begun winding our way back down the mountain, I hear voices and glimpse camouflage uniforms though gaps in the thick foliage. At one point, we come face to face with about 40 soldiers brandishing assault rifles, rocket-propelled grenades and machine guns. Bandoleers of bullets are strung across their chests. "They're Rwandan Army troops," says Emmanuel de Merode, executive director of WildlifeDirect, a Nairobi-based nonprofit organization that helps fund the rangers and trackers. "They've illegally crossed into the Congo, so don't take any pictures, or they'll probably shoot you."
My journey to the isolated mountain gorillas of eastern Congo began in Nairobi, Kenya, where I met Richard Leakey, 62, chairman of WildlifeDirect. In the 1950s and 1960s, Leakey's paleoanthropologist father, Louis, best known for his research on human origins in Africa, famously chose Dian Fossey, Jane Goodall and Biruté Galdikas to study our closest animal relatives: mountain gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans, respectively. Richard's wife Meave and daughter Louise recently helped discover (with Fred Spoor, see "Interview") two fossils that change our understanding of the hominid family tree.
Richard Leakey is credited with saving Kenya's elephants. In 1989, as head of the Kenya Wildlife Service, he gained world attention when he set fire to 2,000 poached elephant tusks and ordered his rangers to shoot poachers on sight. Today Kenya has about 25,000 elephants, up from 16,000 in 1989. Leakey lost both legs in a light-plane crash and has received two kidney transplants. Undaunted, he has channeled his energy into building WildlifeDirect, which he created last September. The organization pays for park rangers' salaries and supplies. Until recently, the rangers went unpaid for years at a time. "Since the beginning of armed conflict in eastern Congo [a civil war started in 1994], over 150 rangers have been killed on active service," Leakey says. "Despite the minimal support, Congo's rangers risk their lives on a daily basis."
Since getting to the Congolese mountain gorillas is difficult and dangerous, Leakey assigned de Merode and Samantha Newport, another staff member, to meet me in Congo and help me reach the gorillas there.
My first stop is a short flight away, to the Rwandan capital, Kigali, where I stay overnight at the Hotel des Mille Collines, also known as the Hotel Rwanda. (The tall, modern building looks nothing like the two-story safari hotel in the movie of the same name, most of which was filmed in South Africa.) I sleep uneasily, thinking of the Tutsi families who may have occupied the room while the Hutu militia rampaged outside more than a decade ago. I decide not to take a dip in the swimming pool, which for a time was the Tutsi refugees' only source of drinking water.
The next day, en route to joining some tourists to visit Rwanda's mountain gorillas, I pass Kigali's prison, where an armed guard watches over about 30 men clad in prison-issue pajamas. "They're most likely Interahamwe [Those Who Act Together]," my driver says, referring to the Hutu militia who murdered most of the 800,000 to one million Tutsis and moderate Hutus—men, women and children—during three months in 1994, most of them by machete.
After a two-hour drive, we reach the town of Ruhengeri in the shadow of the Virunga Mountains, a chain of eight volcanoes that thrust up to 14,000 feet above sea level in a 50-mile arc. In 1861, British explorer John Speke was warned that the Virungas' slopes were inhabited by man-like monsters. But only in 1902 did a German officer, Capt. Oscar von Beringe, become the first European to report seeing mountain gorillas, on Mount Sabyinyo's slopes above Ruhengeri. He shot two of them, and the subspecies was named Gorilla beringei beringei. Over the next two decades, Western expeditions killed or captured 43 more. Five shot by American naturalist Carl Akeley in 1921 can be seen in a diorama at New York's American Museum of Natural History.

Well, it's March, and still no access to these gorillas in the DRC section of Virunga National Park. The park rangers and gorillas face the same threats to their safety as they did months ago. Progress has been made with the charcoal threat, but this situation requires international support if the gorillas are to survive and thrive. Wildlife Direct is doing an amazing job assisting ICCN and the MGVP, but they need our support, now more then ever. Please, if you haven't already, check out WLD's Gorilla Protection Blog, the latest post there has a promising proposal to help protect these great apes, and see how you can help. Together, we can make a difference, before its too late...
Posted by THERESA SISKIND on March 1,2008 | 09:39 PM
i heard a story about gorillas in Congo or Rwanda or Uganda being killed as a reprisal against game wardens who had arrested a poacher in recent years. The poacher's buddies then warned the wardens that they would start killing gorillas if they did not drop the charges against their poacher-buddy, and proceeded to start killing some gorillas. Does anyone know if this story is true - and where i would find a document about it? after much Googling, i can't find this story. Thank you all - CW.

I loved this. I hope for the gorillia's sake and the economy that they are able to find peace in the region. I don't know why there has to be so much fighting and poaching. It is like when you kill the last whale what will you do then? Sad, very sad. These are great animals and must be protected and I am very proud of these soldiers who risk their lives for these animals. As Martin Luther King Jr. once said "If there is not a cause worth dying for then there is not a life worth living." God Bless Rhondelle

In the aftermath of liquidity tightening measures imposed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to check the rupee's fall, many banks resorted to hiking their base rates. Base rate is the rate below which the bank cannot lend, and any increase in it makes auto, home and corporate loans costlier.
Let's take a look at the new base rates of top lenders in India

Wind turbines withstand tornado
Last week, the widest tornado ever measured on Earth ripped through Canadian County, Okla., destroying many homes and businesses. This record-setting storm event received an EF5 rating--the highest possible--and was only the eighth tornado of this magnitude to be measured in the state since 1950.
Despite taking a direct hit, two wind turbines at the Canadian Valley Technology Center (CVTC) stood intact after the storm passed. The turbines, on 85- and 126-foot towers--both fully constructed and used for educational purposes--did not suffer any visible damage.

The Schools Chicago's Students Deserve; Support the Chicago Teachers Union - Learn More About Pending September Strike The Schools Chicago's Students Deserve Research-based Proposals to Strengthen Elementary and Secondary Education in the Chicago Public Schools http://www.ctunet.com/quest-center/research/text/Deserve_summary.pdf The Schools Chicago's Students Deserve is a new Chicago Teachers Union study which argues in favor of proven educational reforms to dramatically improve the education of more than 400,000 students in a district of 675 schools. These reforms are desperately needed and can lead Chicago towards the world-class educational system its students deserve. Our study presents 46 pages of research-based details on the following 10 essential recommendations: 1. Recognize That Class Size Matters: Drastically reduce class size. We currently have one of the largest class sizes in the state. This greatly inhibits the ability of our students to learn and thrive. 2. Educate The Whole Child: Invest to ensure that all schools have recess and physical education equipment, healthy food offerings, and classes in art, theater, dance, and music in every school. Offer world languages and a variety of subject choices. Provide every school with a library and assign the commensurate number of librarians to staff them. 3. Create More Robust Wrap-around Services: The Chicago Public Schools system (CPS) is far behind recommended staffing levels suggested by national professional associations. The number of school counselors, nurses, social workers, and psychologists must increase dramatically to serve Chicago's population of low-income students. Additionally, students who cannot afford transportation costs need free fares. 4. Address Inequities In Our System: Students and their families recognize the apartheid-like system managed by CPS. It denies resources to the neediest schools, uses discipline policies with a disproportionate harm on students of color, and enacts policies that increase the concentrations of students in high poverty and racially segregated schools. 5. Help Students Get Off To A Good Start: We need to provide age-appropriate (not test-driven) education in the early grades. All students should have access to pre-kindergarten and to full-day kindergarten. 6. Respect And Develop The Professionals: Teachers need salaries comparable to others with their education and experience. They need time to adequately plan their lessons and collaborate with colleagues, as well as the autonomy and shared decision-making to encourage professional judgment. CPS needs to hire more teaching assistants so that no students fall through the cracks. 7. Teach All Students: We need stronger commitments to address the disparities that exist due to our lack of robust programs for emergent bilingual students and services for students faced with a variety of special needs. 8. Provide Quality School Facilities: No more leaky roofs, asbestos-lined bathrooms, or windows that refuse to shut. Students need to be taught in facilities that are well- maintained and show respect for those who work and go to school there. 9. Partner With Parents: Parents are an integral part of a child's education. They need to be encouraged and helped in that role. 10. Fully Fund Education: A country and city that can afford to take care of its affluent citizens can afford to take care of those on the other end of the income scale. There is no excuse for denying students the essential services they deserve. For more information contact the Chicago Teachers Union at 312-329-9100 or read the entire report on our website at www.ctunet.com/Deserve ========== Support the Chicago Teachers Union - Contribute to the CTU Solidarity Fund https://afl.salsalabs.com/o/4013/c/468/p/salsa/donation/common/public/?donate_page_KEY=7204 The Chicago Teachers Union is currently on the front lines of a fight to defend public education. On one side the 30,000 members of the CTU have called for a contract that includes fair compensation, meaningful job security for qualified teachers, smaller class sizes and a better school day with Art, Music, World Language and appropriate staffing levels to help our neediest students. On the other side, the Chicago Board of Education - which is managed by out of town reformers and Broad Foundation hires with little or no Chicago public school experience - has pushed to add two weeks to the school year and 85 minutes to the school day, eliminate pay increases for seniority, evaluate teachers based on student test scores, and slash many other rights. Teachers, parents and community supporters in Chicago have fought valiantly - marching, filling auditoriums at hearings and parent meetings, even occupying a school and taking over a school board meeting. Most recently, 98 percent of our members voted to authorize a strike. But now we find ourselves facing new opponents - national education privatizers, backed by some of the nation's wealthiest people. They are running radio ads, increasing press attacks, and mounting a PR campaign to discredit the CTU and the benefits of public education. We are asking you to support our struggle for educational justice. You and your organization can show your support by making contribution to our Solidarity Fund. All donations will be used to conduct broad outreach throughout Chicago and nation-wide. Specifically, we plan to print educational materials, to distribute information about our positive agenda, such as the CTU report The Schools Chicago Students Deserve, and to mobilize massive support for educators in rallies and gatherings throughout the city. Any amount you can give will be a great help. Thank you for your support. In Solidarity, Karen GJ Lewis, NBCT CTU President ========== ___________________________________________ Portside aims to provide material of interest to people on the left that will help them to interpret the world and to change it.

Cheese-Crusted Fish
Added by JamJarTrifle | Sat 29 Oct 2011 @ 18:18
This is a really simple dish. It\\\'s pretty much fish baked with bread crumbs and cheese, what could be simpler that that? Its also really astounding, great texture, and well matched flavours.
-4 pitta breads
-a couple of slices of your favourite cheese
-a few sprigs of parsley
-generic white fish
-olive oil
1) Blend the pitta breads, the cheese and the parsley in a food processor, until all the pieces are size of pin heads.
2) Place the fish in a large casserole dish, and add a drizzle of olive oil
3) Cover the fish in the pitta-cheese mix.
4) Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes, at 150 degrees celsius, or until the pitta-cheese mix is crispy.
5) Serve.

I'm a web developer who has been a freelancer for a few years. I just now started a llc and I'm being told by some staffing companies that I need a 1 million dollar business insurance to work with some of the companies around my area. I know that some government jobs require a bond and for good reasons but what about ad agencies and small tech firms. Is it really necessary? Is this something common to have and realistic to get?
If so how do most tech start ups deal with this?

The U.S. Air Force and Strategic Air Command compiled a map showing known missile installations in Cuba, potential targets of a US invasion by land, and the need for further aerial photographs. The U.S. Naval Air Station at Guantanamo Bay is in the far southeast of Cuba.

I was a 19year old at Amerillo Tx AFB attending Air Craft Mech. School for 2 engines & over (B-47).Last weeks of school in Oct 1962. We seniors were told to pack for "possible" movement to Eglin AFB Fla to support acft there. We ended up in a tent city there for 2 days. OMG--Never so many fighters & bombers & RF-4, RF-101,even an "old EC-121". Always thought the "Connie" was a cool plane. I was on pins an needles for 4 days there. And not much info on what the hell was going on. But the around the clock Sorties out of there. I knew we were in the "Go to War Mode".Thanks for the memory. WOW.

Good location and quiet hostel. Not much going on in the way of atmosphere. We had the double room on the top floor which was so so hot. I didnt sleep the whole time i was there despite there being a fan. Its very cheap and mostly clean, the kitchen is old and could go with a good clean. The staff i am afraid werent that helpful and didnt really engage too much with guests, they were mostly on the phone to friends. Average stay.

I've been looking for proof that my ancestor, Trustram Deuel fought at the Battles of Branywinewine and Saratoga. Someone had told me that he had. I haven't found it in any thing I've looked. How can I prove it? Where can I look for that info? Or has anyone out there heard of anyplace?
Hi Beverly,
I'm not an expert by any means, but two thoughts came to me when I read your post.
1) Have you checked Revolutionary War pension documents? They may confirm that Trustram Deuel was in the Continental Army, which I think would be a first step.
2) Are you on ancestry.com? Let me explain how being on ancestry is helping me track down my own family legend. My paternal grandfather was one of seven children. His father had a prior marriage with four children. My grandfather was estranged from most of his family--he kept in touch with only four of his siblings.
When I was a kid (PopPop died when I was 15), he always told me that he was of English, French, and Native American descent (if he knew what tribe, he never told me, his other 16 grandchildren, his seven children, or his wife). Since his grandmother was NA, I have always found that he never mentioned the nation to anyone., I don't think he knew. However, one day, he and my father were driving in a nearby town, when they drove past a famous gravesite of a local Native American preacher, named Paul Cuffee. He told my dad that Paul Cuffee was somehow related to us, but he didn't know how. I haven't found the connection yet, but I do know that Cuffee was the maiden name of my great-great grandmother.
I know you're wondering what this has to do with ancestry.com. I'm a teacher and tend to be long-winded. Well, through ancestry, I have found about ten descendants of four of the eleven siblings. At least two of the other siblings didn't have children. Every single one of these descendants know we are Native American through my great-grandmother. All have the same basic information, but they also have had individual puzzle pieces of the story. I've interviewed all of them about what they know about our family. I have not solved my mystery yet, but I think I'm getting closer. Of course, I've interviewed all my dad's family about what my grandfather said to them (I was one of the younger cousins).
The short point I'm trying to make is to interview anyone and everyone about what they know about this legend. If you are lucky enough to meet fairly close relatives, compare their information to yours.
3) Try to contact the town historians in Brandywine and Saratoga. They are most often fonts of information.
Good luck!
Thank you.
I do know that my ancestor did fight in the Reverulotion. I have proof of that.
I have interviewed everyone that is still living but have had no success. As far as Ancesrty.com goes, I can't afford to pay for it every month. I subscribe for a few months and then go off for a few months. I know it's more expensive that way but it's the only way I can do it right now. I have found several of my ancestors on it.
I do like your point number three. I sure hadn't thought of that, although I've talked at length several times with the historian in the county most of my ancestors are from. She has helped me a lot but can't answer that for me. I will try your number three in next few days.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.
Since you have proof, you may want to contact the DAR if you haven't already.

David Cameron insisted a "robust response" is needed to Bashar Assad's use of chemical weapons despite being forced to drop plans for the potential use of British forces in strikes against Syria.
The Prime Minister suffered a humiliating defeat in the Commons as MPs - including 30 Tory rebels - rejected a motion indicating that military action could be required to protect Syrian civilians.
Mr Cameron acknowledged that "politics is difficult" after the reverse but said he would not have to apologise to US president Barack Obama for being unable to commit UK military units to any international alliance.
Labour leader Ed Miliband said the Government should not "wash its hands" of Syria despite the lack of consensus for military action.
Setting out the approach he would now take to Syria the Prime Minister said: "I think it's important we have a robust response to the use of chemical weapons and there are a series of things we will continue to do. We will continue to take a case to the United Nations, we will continue to work in all the organisations we are members of - whether the EU, or Nato, or the G8 or the G20 - to condemn what's happened in Syria. It's important we uphold the international taboo on the use of chemical weapons.
"But one thing that was proposed, the potential - only after another vote - involvement of the British military in any action, that won't be happening. That won't be happening because the British Parliament, reflecting the great scepticism of the British people about any involvement in the Middle East, and I understand that, that part of it won't be going ahead."
Mr Miliband's decision to oppose the Prime Minister's motion on Syria despite Mr Cameron offering concessions including the prospect of a second vote authorising direct British military involvement sparked fury in No 10 and led to accusations he was providing "succour" to Assad.
Asked if Mr Miliband had behaved "dishonourably", the Prime Minister said: "It's a matter for him to defend the way he behaved and his conduct."
The Labour leader said Mr Cameron must now "find other ways" to put pressure on Assad. "There are other routes than military means to actually help the people of Syria," he said.
"I think all of the focus of the Prime Minister and the Government in the coming days needs to be working with our allies to find other ways to press president Assad, to take action with our allies to put the diplomatic, political and other pressure that needs to be put on the Government there."

New Parking Rules
Maine's largest city ponders a carless future.
Downtown real estate in Maine's largest city — its cultural and commercial center — is too valuable to be used to store cars. That should be the guiding principle behind changes to city policies now under review by the Planning Board.
The proposals result from last year's Peninsula Transit Study, which recommended improvements to intersections and lane stripes that would make the city's streets work better for pedestrians, cyclists, and people who ride buses, decreasing motor vehicle traffic and congestion. The study also recommended changing the relationship between new development and parking.
Among the changes on the table is removing the requirement that developers create a specific number of parking spaces for every office or dwelling they build. Instead, a commercial developer would have the option of contributing to a fund that would make it easier for people to get around without a car.
Residential development would be completely free of parking requirements. Residents would pay less for housing that comes without parking and would have the choice of finding it in the marketplace or looking for alternatives.
In the short run, it would lower the cost of development, helping build out still-empty or underused properties that stretch right through the heart of the peninsula, from the eastern waterfront to Marginal Way. If it works, over time, it could create the density needed to make mass transit a viable alternative in ways that it now is not.
Breaking the link between development and parking harnesses the market principles of choice, competition, and incentive to work on the city's transportation problems.
A worker who receives a parking voucher from his employer could use it toward space in a garage but might find that it would go further in a carpool, bus service, or by riding a bike into downtown from an off-peninsula satellite lot. There are attractions other than cost. Exercise from walking or cycling would be seen as a good option for more people if it was perceived as safe and convenient.
If options are available, people can choose the ones, including paying for parking, that work best for them. Sadly, options are not now available for most people who work or shop in downtown Portland. A car is often the only way to get one person to work.
Opponents of the transit plan can be expected to claim that market-priced parking will drive business and visitors out of Portland, but this doesn't match the experience of other cities, large and small. Some of the most valuable commercial real estate in the world, as well as some of the most popular tourist destinations, are also among the least car-friendly. A few people may come to Portland because it's an easy place to park, but many live, do business, and visit here because it has a walkable downtown.

Education Alarm
The draft report by a task force commissioned to study and recommend changes to the operations of the University of Maine system as it faces dramatic financial challenges is a remarkable document whose authors pull no punches.
Among many pointed criticisms, the authors say the system lacks a coordinated agenda to serve the educational needs of Maine students as well as the economic needs of the state. They say university leaders act incrementally and avoid change — the system, they note, tends to "repose in inertia." They detail wasteful duplication of programs and services on the many university campuses that results in diminished educational quality.
The task force members take system leaders to task for their failure to hold down tuition in the last few years. They assert that too much authority has been delegated from the central system office out to individual campus heads, and that for the past forty years, the formula for distributing the state's appropriation to the system's campuses has remained "unchanged by priorities, performance, or public policies."
Strong stuff, especially since many of the task force's members come from the system itself. But strong stuff is what's needed when the system is facing a fifty million dollar hole in its funding over the next four years — a structural deficit that accounts for 10 percent of the general budget.
The plan offers many worthwhile recommendations that should be implemented, ranging from eliminating course duplication at individual campuses to better coordination in recruiting students and faculty. But these address almost minor issues compared to the even more arresting problem pointed out in the report, one that should alarm anyone concerned about Maine's future. The task force quotes a study commissioned from the National Center for Higher Education Management: "Maine, like the United States as a whole, is becoming the first post-industrial society in history where the parents will have achieved a greater average level of education achievement than their children."
Maine is going backwards, along with the rest of the country.
That means trouble for Maine and the rest of the country. Diminished education levels for successive generations mean diminished earnings for successive generations and diminished prosperity for the state.
There are ways to stem this trend and turn it around. Higher education, and thus the University of Maine system, should be at the center of any strategy to do that, which is why the recommendations of the task force are so important: they offer the promise of change not just for the university, but for all of Maine.
But a system that reposes in inertia isn't easy to turn around. The task force has an answer to that: Give the system's chancellor more centralized power. Send him or her to Augusta to set up shop. And then have task force members who went beyond their charge in this recommendation give the chancellor a very big brief: Make him or her the point person for pushing the legislature, the governor, business leaders, and Maine's educational establishment to adopt a long-term strategy to revitalize the state's economy.
David Flanagan, who led the twelve member task force, and his colleagues on the task force have done the state an immense public service. They have bluntly outlined the problems that plague the University of Maine system. They make the essential connection between the university's fate and the state's fate and provide dramatic measures to reform the former in order to help the latter.
Now, of course, the chorus of naysayers will weigh in. But this time, the stakes are much higher than when previous reform efforts went unheeded or were watered down — nothing like a fifty million dollar hole to steel resolve. So we have hope that the recommendations of the task force will gain traction and the fundamental change the state needs to prosper will begin at the University of Maine system.

Cause for celebration
As lifelong conservationist Bill Townsend of Canaan put it, if the Natural Resources Council of Maine (NRCM) did not exist, the state of Maine would look very different. Townsend was one of the original members of the organization, which celebrated its fiftieth anniversary in June.
He and other pioneers in the environmental organization (which certainly wasn't called that fifty years ago) worked to stop a scourge of billboards from littering the Maine landscape, pass a landmark bottle-return bill, derail state plans for construction of dams on major rivers, clean up Maine's air and water, and conserve the landscape that distinguishes our state.
The battles were often long and often bitter. They left scars, certainly, but they also left the state a better place. We have huge parcels of undisturbed forest in Maine because of the NRCM, as well as long stretches of coastline that have been conserved. Our highways are lined with trees, not enormous commercial signs, and fish swim in rivers that for too long were filled only with sewage and industrial pollutants. The organization spawned the development of many other conservation groups with which, ironically, it must now often compete for support and funds.
So on its fiftieth birthday, we congratulate the NRCM for giving a loud and clear voice to an environmental ethic that has had an important, and visible, impact on the state of Maine.

Hopeful Fishing Rules
Commercial fishermen are an independent lot. They take great risk, both financial and personal, to ply the ocean in the hopes of bringing in a big enough catch for it all to pay off. But as the industry struggles to survive while waiting for fish populations to rebound, these independent men and women may have to rely on each other more than ever.
The first step was taken in Portland in June by the New England Fishery Management Council, which voted fourteen-to-one to recommend setting a total allowable catch limit for specific geographic areas. The catch would be shared by members of fishing cooperatives, called sectors, who would trade some of their independence for more flexibility.
Under days-at-sea limits, fishermen were under pressure to make every hour count with the biggest catch they could haul in. The sector approach doesn't let them catch more fish but permits fishermen to maximize their time on the water. That flexibility is important. With declining fish stocks and increased regulation, their
numbers have dropped from about 350 fifteen years go to only seventy today.
Something different needs to be tried, and if some cooperation among fishermen can give them flexibility and still
prevent over-fishing, it could be a welcome
