Eric S. Edelman is a career U.S. diplomat and former advisor to Vice President Dick Cheney who serves on the boards of a number of hawkish policy groups, including the Foreign Policy Initiative, an advocacy group founded in 2009 by neoconservative figures William Kristol, Robert Kagan, and Dan Senor. In 2011, Edelman became a board member of the United States Institute for Peace, a bipartisan congressionally funded think tank.[1] Since 2009, Edelman has been a "distinguished fellow" at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA), where he leads projects on national security policy, strategy, and alliance issues.[2] Edelman has also been a visiting scholar at the Philip Merrill Center for Strategic Studies, directed by Eliot Cohen, and a senior associate of the International Security Program at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard University.
CSBA president Andrew Krepinevich has described Edelman as "an enormously talented scholar and practitioner of foreign affairs," and said his "record of accomplishment in applying both 'hard' and 'soft' power, under both Democratic and Republican administrations, makes him ideally suited for CSBA's mission of promoting thoughtful, non-partisan approaches to today's challenging security problems."[3]
Other observers, however, have highlighted Edelman's close association with neoconservative groups and campaigns. For example, Jim Lobe of the Inter Press Service reported that when Edelman was tapped to serve as the successor to embattled undersecretary of defense Douglas Feith in 2005, it was due largely to support from the likes of Cheney and Richard Perle. "Edelman … is a career foreign service officer with neoconservative views, albeit not as radical as those of his ultra-Likudist predecessor [Feith]. Although he has worked for Democratic appointees, most recently former Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott, Edelman's ties to Cheney are of long standing," wrote Lobe, who added that Edelman's Pentagon office had coordinated "closely with Devon Gaffney Cross' London-based Policy Forum on International Security Affairs, a neoconservative outfit that quietly conducts public diplomacy for the Pentagon's policy shop and various like-minded Washington-based think tanks."[4]
During the Obama Administration
In 2011, Edelman's status as key figure on Republican foreign policy was reinforced when presidential candidate Mitt Romney named him to his campaign's foreign and defense policy team.[5] In March 2012, Edelman contributed his name to an open letter to President Barack Obama lambasting the president's record on foreign policy and claiming that his administration had been marked by "weakness and inconstancy" — this despite Obama's record of having ordered the killings of numerous Al Qaeda figures, including Osama bin Laden, and expanded aerial bombardments of militants in many countries. However, signatories claimed that the president was weakening America by cutting back on missile defense, going easy on Russia, pressuring "the Israelis to grant one-sided concessions to the Palestinians," and cutting defense budgets. Additional signatories to the letter included John Bolton, Eliot Cohen, Robert Joseph, Robert Kagan, Dan Senor, and Walid Phares.[6]
In a Boston Globe op-ed coauthored with fellow Romney advisers Meghan O'Sullivan and Eliot Cohen shortly before the election, Edelman provided a nebulous argument to argue that Obama has made the country less secure: "Because of the last four years, we face a world in which our enemies do not fear us, our friends do not believe they can trust us, and those who maneuver between the two camps feel that they will not get in trouble by crossing us."[7]
In January 2011, Edelman co-wrote, with two CSBA colleagues, an article for Foreign Affairs detailing options facing the Barack Obama administration as it tries to curtail Iran's alleged nuclear ambitions. The article, titled "The Dangers of a Nuclear Iran: The Limits of Containment," argued that the United States should pursue an approach "that brings diplomacy and sanctions, clandestine action, and the threat of military force into alignment." According to Edelman and his coauthors, "Although finding a peaceful way to preclude Iran from getting nuclear weapons is obviously desirable, Washington will likely have to decide between two unattractive options: pursuing a military strike to prevent Iran from going nuclear or implementing a containment strategy to live with a nuclear Iran."[8]
Although not typically grouped with the hawks and neoconservatives who helped push for an expansive "war on terror" in the Middle East after the 9/11 attacks, Edelman was an outspoken and sometimes controversial defender of the Bush administration's foreign policies. For example, in July 2007 he sent an alarmist letter to presidential primary candidate Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY), arguing that her efforts to push the Pentagon to begin planning for the withdrawal of troops from Iraq was a boon to terrorists. He wrote, "Premature and public discussion of the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq reinforces enemy propaganda that the United States will abandon its allies in Iraq, much as we are perceived to have done in Vietnam, Lebanon, and Somalia."[9]
The letter infuriated a number of people, including Clinton, whose spokesperson told the Associated Press that it was "at once outrageous and dangerous."[10] Responding to an inquiry from the widely read blog Talking Points Memo, Defense Secretary Robert Gates appeared to distance himself from Edelman's letter, saying in an e-mail statement, "I have long been a staunch advocate of Congressional oversight, first at the CIA and now at the Defense Department. I have said on several occasions in recent months that I believe that congressional debate on Iraq has been constructive and appropriate."[11]
On other occasions, Edelman has spoken out in support of efforts by Gates to soften the hard line the Pentagon pursued during Donald Rumsfeld's tenure as defense secretary. For example, during testimony on the role of the military in international affairs before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in July 2008, Edelman said, "[M]y current boss, Secretary Gates, has been at the forefront of calls to increase funding for the State Department and USAID. … The fact that a Secretary of Defense, who manages the tools of 'hard power,' is a leading voice for increasing our soft power funding speaks volumes about where we have come as a country."[12]
In early December 2008, then-President-elect Barack Obama announced that Gates would stay on as his Pentagon chief; Edelman had already announced in November that he would leave the Defense Department at the end of Bush's term.[13]
In the Bush Administration
President George W. Bush named Edelman ambassador to Turkey a few months after the U.S. invasion of Iraq in March 2003. It was widely speculated at the time that Edelman was named to this key post not only because of his close ties to administration hardliners, but also because of his family connections to Turkey. Edelman's grandmother fled Russia in the early 1920s, and his mother was born in Turkey. His great-uncle taught at Ankara University.[14]
Edelman's stint as ambassador to Turkey coincided with a period of increasing tension between the United States and Ankara. Although the State Department listed the country early on as part of the "coalition of the willing,"[15] Turkey was "critical of the war and uncooperative," the Washington Post reported.[16] Strategically important in the Iraq War because of its geographic location, Turkey refused to allow U.S. troops to use its territory to open a second front in the Iraq War. However, as the New York Times reported, NATO's Incirlik Air Base in eastern Turkey has been a "strategic, logistics and transfer center for the American military operations in Iraq, and Turkish trucks carrying supplies for allied forces pass into Iraq daily."[17]
While serving in Turkey, Edelman became a lightning rod for deepening anti-U.S. sentiment. The Turkish columnist Ibrahim Karagul wrote, "Edelman is probably the least-liked and trusted American ambassador in Turkish history."[18] In a column for the newspaper Yeni Safak, Karagul wrote, "Considering the range of his activities, his statements which violate the decorum of democracy, and his interest in Turkey's internal affairs, Eric Edelman acts more like a colonial governor than an ambassador. Edelman's actions have exceeded his diplomatic mission. His 'interest' in nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), the Turkish media, and ethnic minorities make him go beyond his role as an ambassador. His presence here has never contributed to Turkish-American relations, and it never will. If we want to address the reasons for anti-Americanism, Edelman must be issue one. As long as Edelman stays in Turkey, the chill wind disturbing bilateral relations will last."[19]
In early 2005, Edelman was nominated to as undersecretary of defense for policy, replacing Douglas Feith, the controversial aide to Donald Rumsfeld who resigned at the end of Bush's first term.[20] At the time of his nomination, many regarded him as a potential candidate for the number-two spot at the State Department after Condoleezza Rice became secretary of state. The Washington Post's Al Kamen wrote at the time, "The latest name du jour for deputy secretary of state is Eric S. Edelman who is seen as someone—perhaps the only one on the planet—who can comfortably straddle all the relevant political worlds. He's a career foreign service officer, a former ambassador to Finland who also worked for then-Secretary of State George P. Shultz and for Clinton Ambassador-at-Large Strobe Talbott. But he also worked for Defense Secretary Richard B. Cheney from 1990 to 1993 and for Vice President Cheney from 2001 to 2003 and with Secretary of State-designate Condoleezza Rice frequently when he represented Cheney at top-level meetings."[21]
Early Career
Edelman began his government career in the Reagan administration. While completing his doctorate in history at Yale University, Edelman joined the U.S. Middle East Delegation to the West Bank/Gaza Autonomy Talks. He then became a special assistant to Secretary of State George Shultz. In 1990, Edelman moved from the State Department to the Pentagon, where he served as assistant deputy undersecretary of defense for Soviet and East European affairs.[22]
Edelman also served under Cheney during the administration of George H.W. Bush. At that time, he became part of a "shop" within the Pentagon that was set up by then-Defense Secretary Cheney "to think about American foreign policy after the Cold War, at the grand strategic level," wrote Nicholas Lehman in the New Yorker.[23]
The work of this shop, which was headed by Paul Wolfowitz, eventually led to the crafting of the 1992 Draft Defense Planning Guidance, a document that was meant to serve as a post-Cold War framework for U.S. military strategy. Others working on the guidance were Zalmay Khalilzad and I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby. According to Lehman, the guidance team was "generally speaking, a cohesive group of conservatives who regard themselves as bigger-thinking, tougher-minded, and intellectually bolder than most other people in Washington."[24] However, its plans, which called for actively promoting U.S. predominance throughout much of the world, proved too ambitious for Bush Senior and congressional Democrats. Although the initial draft was immediately retracted after being leaked to the press, it served as a framework for neoconservative advocacy during the 1990s, and many of its ideas resurfaced in President George W. Bush's post-9/11 national security strategy (for more information, see Right Web Profile: 1992 Draft Defense Planning Guidance).
During the Clinton administration, Edelman moved back to the State Department. As ambassador-at-large and special advisor to the Secretary of State for the Newly Independent States, Edelman oversaw defense, security, and space issues, among other later positions in the administration.[25]

Construction photo tour of Magic Mountain's new 'Terminator Salvation' coaster
Written by Robert Niles
This is for west coast Theme Park Insider readers who voted against Dollywood's Thunderhead in the Best Ride in America tournament yesterday: This summer, Six Flags Magic Mountain will give you the chance to see what you've been missing.Tweet
Like Thunderhead, Magic Mountain's new GCI wooden roller coaster Terminator Salvation will feature a station fly-through, as well as other airtime elements that have made Dollywood's coaster a favorite... among those who've made their way to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee to ride it.
Magic Mountain General Manager Tim Burkhart took me through a private walk-through Terminator Salvation's construction site this morning. I found it amazing that Magic Mountain plans to open the ride to the press on May 21, with its public debut the next day. SeaWorld Orlando's Manta is complete and running tests in advance of its opening the same weekend. But, today, two months before opening, much of Terminator Salvation remains timbers lying on a bare concrete slab.
And what a slab it is - more than 1600 cubic yards of concrete, pouring which certainly made this a more labor-intensive construction project that filling a few dozen concrete holes, then driving steel support pillars into them, as one typically does for steel coasters.
Terminator Salvation stands of the site of the former Psyclone. To make way for the new entrance to the Terminator's themed queue, Magic Mountain demolished a former arcade which had stood on the site of the old glass blower's shop in Cyclone Bay.
This shot looks out from the coaster toward what will be the queue entrance. The two slabs on the far side of the bridge will support to the ride's entrance arch.
Once in the queue, visitors who walk under the track and into the ride, where they will switchback before entering the first of two themed pre-show buildings.
Burkhart stands in the middle of what will become the queue and pre-show area. Burkhart said that Terminator will be Magic Mountain's most elaborately themed ride, with Terminator props created by the film's prop designer.
The theme will be that riders are joining with the Resistance, pursued by Terminator designers who want to use human beings (such as, well, you) as the "raw material" for a new generation of Terminators.
Once through the second pre-show room, visitors will enter the loading station, which will be located to the left in this view. To the right, you can see Terminator's 100-foot main hill, which is "nearly" topped out, according to to Burkhart. Here's a view to the left, where the load station will stand in the foreground.
Continuing to the left, here is a view of the remainder of the ride track, within which will stand those pre-show rooms.
Why a woodie for a SciFi theme? Burkhart said that after the park took down Psyclone, it wanted to replace it with a world-class woodie, and the GCI model fit that bill.
"We took a look, and just didn't feel that there was anything really new and compelling out there with steel that we hadn't done before," Burkhart said.
Burkhart wouldn't give up what on-ride special effects riders can expect on Terminator Salvation ("I don't want to go through the X2 tunnel thing again.") But I can reveal that rumors of an on-ride audio system are true.
One potential pitfall? Capacity. Terminator will run with two trains and an 800-person hourly capacity. That will mean multi-hour waits during the ride's premier summer.
Burkhart said the ride will feature Millennium Flyer trains, modified with bolted-on fixtures to give them a "Mad Max"-style feel. The idea is that you are riding in a makeshift Resistance vehicle, trying to escape from the pursuing Terminators. Given that concept, the rougher ride of a woodie might actually fit the theme better than smooth, slick steel. We'll see.
Readers' Opinions
From Anthony Murphy on March 22, 2009 at 5:44 PM
Looks like a good start to Six Flag's bad press? They still have a bommarang roller coaster (the one in green)? SFGA tore that one down fast due to it constantly breaking down. I am suprised that they kept that up!
From Deidre Dennis on March 22, 2009 at 5:45 PM
I have to say that I've never experienced a woodie that I've liked. I've left every one of them with a horrible headache. I understand the thrill for some people is the rambling that makes you feel like it's going to fall apart or whatever, but I vowed long ago to stick to steel after my experiences on woodies at different parks.
All I can say is OUCH!
From Robert Niles on March 22, 2009 at 5:52 PM
Yes, that is Deja Vu in the background, and it was running today.
From Derek Potter on March 22, 2009 at 6:03 PM
Wooden coasters are generally rough by nature, but GCI coasters are the smoothest, most comfortable wooden coaster ride out there. Of course the engineering is great, but I attribute a lot of the comfort to the trains. Strangely enough, it's an old design from the 1920's that GCI resurrected along with the twister style of coaster they build. The seats and bars are thickly padded with a lot of room, and the trains are articulated, which means each seat has it's own set of wheels, making the train more flexible. Geekspeak I know, but Magic Mountain will have a winner with this ride.
From Joseph Staconis on March 22, 2009 at 6:38 PM
Ok one thing I need cleared up If there's a chance of Magic Mountain closing this year why spend more money building a coaster
From Nick Markham on March 22, 2009 at 6:51 PM
One, there is no chance of SFMM closing this year or next, and two, SFMM getting a highly themed coaster this year makes me want to visit this park even more this year! But I think the park should also go back to all of their old cheap coasters and do exactly what they did with X2 and what they are now duing with Medusa and Superman: ROS! I mean, imagine a Batman: The Ride being the first extravagantly themed B&M invert, themed to The Dark Knight and having mist, light, and on-board audio effects!
From James Rao on March 22, 2009 at 7:48 PM
Nice report, Robert, thanks. I used to love going to Magic Mountain back when I lived in Simi Valley, but that was years ago, before Six Flags. I am anxious to get back someday soon, maybe in the next couple years after Disney completes Cars Land. By then MM should have yet another coaster for me to enjoy, and a couple of my kids will have reached the magical height of 54"!
Something I really liked from the article was: To make way for the new entrance to the Terminator's themed queue, Magic Mountain demolished a former arcade which had stood on the site of the old glass blower's shop in Cyclone Bay. Anytime you take out a midway experience like an arcade to put in a themed coaster (however slight that theme may be), well I am good with that!!
From Todd Houts on March 23, 2009 at 4:42 AM
Anthony - SFGA's installation of Deja Vu wasn't torn down as much as relocated. It is now at Silverwood Theme Park in Idaho. (Although I wonder what became of Six Flags over Georgia's installation... wouldn't be surprised to see it pop up at a smaller Six Flags park someday as as "new" coaster - unless it became "parts" for the SFMM one.)
And Derek is right: GCI builds wondeful wood coasters. This one looks very similar to Evel Knievel that opened at Six Flags St. Louis last year, which is an awesome ride. And based on the length of time it took to build Evel Knievel, SFMM is going to have a hard time meeting their deadline - although I guess they didn't have a Missouri winter to slow down construction.

The Annotated Ramsar List: Belarus
Malheureusement, il n'y a pas de version française de ce document.
The Annotated Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance
On 22 November 1999, Belarus made its declaration of succession to the former Soviet Union in respect to the Convention on Wetlands, and the Convention came into force for Belarus as of the date of its independence, 25 August 1991. Belarus presently has 16 sites designated as Wetlands of International Importance, with a surface area of 614,708 hectares.

Berezinsky Biosphere Reserve. 25/01/2010. Belarusian Lakeland: 85,149 ha; 54°38'N 028°30'E. Biosphere Reserve: Natural Area of Strict Protection, Important Bird Area (IBA), Important Plant Area (IPA). This Ramsar Site is located in the northern part of the country, in the Belarusian Lakeland area. The site lies on three administrative districts in the watershed of the Berezina and Essa rivers' basins, Lepel and Dokshitsy districts (Vitebsk region) and Borisov district (Minsk region), its nearest industrial centre being Minsk city. The reserve is a unique complex of coniferous and broad-leaved forests, floodplain, transition mires and raised bogs, meadows, floodplain black alder and birch forests. Forested rivers and lakes cover 86,5 % of the territory. Mires have become rare in Belarus as a result of heavy drainage activities and have practically disappeared in Central Europe. The complex of the reserve's undrained mires is one of the largest in Europe and has high-level protection. The reserve is habitat for a number of threatened plant and animal species and it is one of the most important nesting and concentration sites of wetland birds in Belarus. In particular, the site supports 111 species of animals listed in the National Red Data Book of Belarus, which represents 59,8 % of the total number of species listed, including 10 mammal species, 58 birds, 2 amphibians, 1 reptile, 2 fish species and 38 insect species. Moreover, the site counts 74 plant species listed in the National Red Data Book. The main factors adversely affecting the site's ecological character are periodic fires and overgrowth of mires with scrub and reed. An officially approved management plan is currently being implemented. Ramsar Site no.1927. Most recent RIS information: 2010.
Duleby Islands-Zaozerye. 07/09/2012; Mogilev Region; 30,772 ha; 53°40'00"N 029°30'00"E. Important Bird Area, Hydrological Reserves, Protected Landscape, Habitat/Species Management Area. Mire complex with prevalence of boreal Sphagnum ridge-hollow bogs, pine swamp forests, and fens. The forests and mire areas provide favourable conditions for the conservation of a considerable number of birds and mammals, as well as national red-listed plant communities. Moreover, the wetland plays an important role in water purification and supply for the rivers of the Dnieper basin and recharges the underground hydrological systems. The main land uses within the site are agricultural production, forestry, mowing and recreation (gathering of berries, mushrooms, and herbal and medicinal plants). The main factors affecting the ecological character of the site are logging, poaching, pollution, eutrophication and radioactive contamination as a result of the transfer of radioactive elements after the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 1986. Ramsar Site no. 2138. Most recent RIS Information: 2013.
Kotra. 21/10/02; Grodno Region; 10,584 ha; 54°00'N 024°30'E. Part of a large transboundary tree-dominated wetland territory adjoining Lithuania's Cepkeliai Ramsar site to the north, said to be the last area of unutilized tree-dominated wetlands in Belarus. Some 87% of the site is dominated by Black Alder Alnus glutinosa and White Birch Betula pendula, diversified by open fen mires and transition bogs and meadows, mostly concentrated in the floodplain of the River Kotra. The site supports a diverse assemblage of 633 species of vascular plants, and 156 vertebrates have been recorded. The site has a significant influence on the hydrological regime of large marsh complexes in Belarus and Lithuania and plays important regulatory role in the water balance in northwest Belarus. The site is scarcely populated (20-25 inhabitants). Remains of settlements from the Stone and Bronze Ages have been discovered, with numerous medieval burial grounds nearby, and a memorial to a World War II atrocity is present. In addition to forestry, other human uses include cattle grazing, hay making, cropping, berry- and mushroom-picking. Among potential threats to the site are drainage, river embankment, forest reclamation, fires, overgrazing, poaching, and sylvaculture. Zakaznik (reserve) status is being sought for the site, and a joint management plan with Cepkeliai has been recommended. Ramsar site no. 1216. Most recent RIS information: 2002.
Kozyansky. 29/03/2013; Vitebsk Region; 26,060 ha; 55°25'N 29°22'E; Important Bird Area, National Landscape Reserve, Habitat/Species Management Area. The site is a complex wetland mosaic formed by large areas of transitional mires and raised bogs, forested and non-forested peatlands, permanent rivers, freshwater lakes and farmland. The wetland supports numerous populations of plant and animal species important for the conservation of the biological diversity within the Boreal biogeographic region. In addition, the site harbours numerous nationally-threatened species of birds such as Ciconia nigra, Botaurus stellaris and Grus grus, and mammals such as Lynx lynx, Ursus arctos and Meles meles. Its main hydrological values are water supply and maintenance of groundwater level and water quality. Within the site there are 15 historical and two archaeological monuments protected by the State. Human uses include forestry, hunting and fishing. Potential threats to the site's ecological character derive from peat extraction, commercial fishing, deforestation, vegetation succession, overgrazing and pollution from cattle farms and a ceramics factory located in neighbouring Obol. The management plan for the reserve is currently being prepared. Ramsar site no. 2196. Most recent RIS information: 2013.
Mid-Pripyat State Landscape Zakaznik. 10/08/01; Brest Region; 90,447 ha; 52°09'N 027°00'E. State Landscape reserve. A 120-km stretch of the Pripyat river floodplain dominated by alluvial, mainly oak forests, meadows, and lowland mires, used chiefly for haymaking, pasturing, and fishing. The area is a key waterbird nesting and stopover site, meeting both the 20,000 birds and 1% waterbird criteria for international importance (among others), and the river is crucial to the hydrological regime of the Polesie Lowland region and its groundwater and to the health of the Dnieper. Frequent flooding and lack of roads have contributed to a relatively low degree of development and correspondingly large numbers of undisturbed species of flora (725 species recorded) and fauna (36 mammals, 182 birds, 6 reptiles, 10 amphibians, and 37 fish). As one of the earliest settled regions of Belarus, archaeological sites abound, and traditional crafts and folklore have retained much more of their character than elsewhere in Belarus. Recent climate change effects, especially a decrease in winter precipitation, and possible pressure for anti-flooding engineering works may present threats, and water quality has been declining in recent years. Largely state-owned. Ramsar site no. 1090. Most recent RIS information: 2000.
Morochno. 07/09/2012; Brest Region; 5,845 ha; 51°51'36"N 026°37'53"E. Biological Reserve of Local Importance, Important Bird Area, Protected Landscape, Habitat/Species Management Area. A cross-border Belorusian-Ukrainian complex mire system, located near the major floodplain of river Horyn, with a predominance of Belarusian Polesie ridge-hollow sphagnum bogs. The site is an important ecological corridor for many nationally threatened and endangered species. Thewetland plays an important role in the maintenance of water quality in the region; moreover, during the dry season it stores water and sustains the underground hydrological systems. Land uses within the site are forestry, logging, hunting and recreation (collection of berries, mushrooms and herbs and medicinal plants). The main factors affecting the ecological character of the site are land reclamation and drainage, fires, poaching and peat extraction. Ramsar Site no. 2139. Most recent RIS information: 2013.
Olmany Mires Zakaznik. 10/08/01; Brest Region; 94,219 ha; 52°44'N 027°16'E. National Landscape reserve. One of Europe's largest natural complexes of bogs and transitional mires, the site is particularly important for nesting and migrating waterbirds and a key nesting site for the globally threatened Spotted Eagle Aquilla clanga. The mires play a crucial role in the hydrological regime of the Pripyat river; sparse population and limited accessibility have contributed to the site's functional integrity and its large numbers of flora and fauna species present. The reserve is situated on the nation's largest military aviation training area, but military activities, largely localized, are said not to have caused any degradation of natural communities and by limiting civil development activities have actually helped to preserve the site's natural characteristics. Berry and mushroom collection and recreational fishing are permitted in coordination with military schedules. Ramsar site no. 1091. Most recent RIS information: 2001.
Osveiski. 21/10/02; Vitebsk Region; 22,600 ha; 56°05'N 028°10'E. Zakaznik (Reserve). A large complex of lakes, forests, transition and bog mires located 150 km northwest of the city of Vitebsk. The core of the site is Lake Osveia, the biggest eutrophic lake in Belarus (5,300 ha, including a big island), rapidly overgrowing with aquatic vegetation but still playing a significant role in the hydrological and climatic patterns of northern Belarus. A large part of the site is represented by bog and transition mires with pine, birch and alder forests - some 30% of the area. During migration, the site hosts more than 20,000 waterbirds, but it is also an important breeding ground for several thousand pairs of grebes, ducks, cranes, waders. More than 1% of the biogeographic population of the Common Crane Grus grus and the Bean Goose Anser fabalisrossicus regularly use the site as a stopover. Ancient dwellings and mound graves from the 5th century BC to the 17th of the present era have been discovered, as well as mass graves of victims of World War II. The site is lightly populated (300 inhabitants) and human uses include logging, cattle grazing, cropping, berry-picking, mushrooms and medicinal plants picking, fishing, and hunting. Potential threats to the site are drainage, river embankment, poaching and expansion of agricultural uses. Ramsar site no. 1217. Most recent RIS information: 2002.
Pripyatsky National Park. 29/03/2013; Gomel Region; 88,553 ha; 52°00′N 28°00'E; Important Bird Area, National Park. The site is a large floodplain located in the valley of the Pripyat river, characterized by permanent rivers and streams, forested and non-forested peatlands, freshwater tree-dominated wetlands, transitional mires, raised bogs, marshes, and ponds within seasonally flooded agricultural land. The site harbours numerous nationally-rare species of flora and fauna which are important for the conservation of biological diversity within the Continental biogeographic region. The floodplain plays an important role in flood regulation, water supply and the maintenance of water quality and groundwater recharge. The peatland areas also store and sequestrate carbon contributing to global climate regulation. The land is used for forestry, agriculture and recreational fishing and hunting. The site is also host to a great concentration of archaeological sites protected by the State for their historical and cultural value. Threats include pollution and eutrophication of surface waters by industrial and agricultural enterprises and sewage from residential areas, alteration of the hydrological regime as a result of the construction of polders and drainage channels, logging, overgrazing, mowing, construction of roads and pipelines, and radioactive contamination as a result of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 1986. A management plan for the National Park has been adopted which covers the period from 2011 to 2030. Ramsar Site no. 2197. Most recent RIS information: 2013.
Prostyr. 18/10/05; Brest Region; 9,500 ha; 51°56 N 026°05' E. National Landscape Reserve, Important Bird Area. A complex of near-natural sedge and reed fen mires together with black alder groves and scrub formations along the banks and floodplain meadows between the rivers Pripyat, Prostyr and Styr, continuing as a transboundary wetland across the Ukrainian border. It is a breeding ground of the globally endangered Aquatic Warbler and generally one of the most important nesting sites during the migration season. Such eutrophic floodplain mires are typical of the Belarusian Polesie area, but they have become rare as a result of heavy drainage activities since the 1960s and have practically disappeared in Central Europe. Presently a system of old drainage canals is still draining fen mires, which has negative impacts particularly in the summer, when it causes the groundwater table to drop significantly. In general there are only small-scale economic activities on the site, chiefly occasional haymaking and cattle grazing, with some hunting and non-commercial fishing. As there are no roads, boats are the only means of accessing the Prostyr Reserve. Significantly extended in 2008, at which time Prostyr was united with Ukraine's Prypiat and Stokhid Ramsar sites, with development of a joint management mechanism, in a Transboundary Ramsar Site "Stokhid-Prypiat-Prostyr", thus opening the potential for increasing international tourism in this region. Ramsar site no. 1611. Most recent RIS information: 2006.
Sporovsky Biological Reserve ('zakaznik'). 22/11/99; Brest Region; 19,384 ha; 52°23'N 025°20'E. Situated in the floodplain of the middle course of the Yaselda River, 2km south of the town of Beryoza in the Brest region, the site includes one of the largest lowland mesotrophic sedge fen mires in Europe. On much of the mire the hydrological regime has been disrupted by drainage canal systems, but much of the site "appears to be in a condition very close to the natural one". It represents one of the largest European habitats of the Aquatic Warbler, a globally threatened species. The land belongs to the state and is rented by about 20 collective farms and forestry enterprises; in 1999 it was declared a biological reserve of national importance, with all drainage and land reclamation prohibited and economic uses of the land officially regulated. A UK Darwin Initiative-funded project, carried out by the UK's Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) and the Belarus Society for the Protection of Birds, is making a number of scientific studies of the site and will develop a management plan. Ramsar site no. 1007. Most recent RIS information: 1999.
Stary Zhaden. 07/09/2012; Gomel Region; 17,048 ha; 51°53'01"N 027°35'52"E. Important Bird Area, Protected area with Sustainable Use of Natural Resources. A Belarusian Polesie complex wetland system, formed by fens combined with sphagnum transitional mires of boreal type and sphagnum bogs. The site is characterized by a diversity of geomorphological conditions and relatively high biodiversity. It plays an important hydrological role in water purification, maintenance of groundwater levels and water supply during the dry season. Land uses include forestry, farming, recreation and hunting. The main factors threatening the ecological character of the wetland are logging, fires, drainage, poaching, recreational disturbances caused by mass collection of berries and mushrooms, and significant radioactive contamination caused by the Chernobyl disaster of 1986. Ramsar Site no. 2140. Most recent RIS information: 2013.
Vigonoshchanskoe. 16/01/2013; Brest Region; 54,182 ha; 52°42'N 25°40'E. National Landscape Reserve; Important Bird Area; Habitat/Species Management Area. A large forest-wetland complex situated at the watershed of river basins of the Black and Baltic seas. This are, a slightly transformed by economic and recreational activities, is of great importance for the conservation of plant and animal species as well as for the protection of the whole natural complex of Belarusian Polesie. There are two large lakes on the territory as well as rivers, canals, floodplains and open marsh areas, including waterlogged forests, fens, transitional and raised bogs. The core of the Site is Lake Vygonoshchanskoe. The site plays a key role in maintaining the hydrological regime in the region and feeding the River Shchara, one of the River Neman's largest tributaries. Moreover, the wetland regulates regional climate by mitigating fluctuations in temperature and humidity. Traditional human activities within the site are fishing, hunting, and berry and mushroom collection. A network of monitoring plots has been created, where research studies have been carried out within the national integrated monitoring system for ecosystems in the protected areas. Ramsar Site no. 2141. Most recent RIS information: 2013.
Vydritsa. 29/03/2013; Gomel Region; 21,292 ha; 52°46′N 29°40′E; Important Bird Area, Habitat/Species Management Area, National Landscape Reserve. The site is on a floodplain between the Berezina and Vydritsa rivers in the south-east of Belarus. It is a system of oxbow lakes, tree-dominated wetlands and forested peatlands with meadows, marshes, swamps and drainage channels. The site is internationally important for the maintenance of biological diversity within the Continental biogeographic region. It supports nationally-threatened bird species such as the Little Grebe Tachybaptus ruficollis, the Great Bittern Botaurus stellaris and the Common Crane Grus grus, and vulnerable mammals such as the Eurasian Badger Meles meles. The hydrological values of the site include flood regulation, water supply, and maintenance of groundwater level and water quality, while the peatland areas play an important role in carbon sequestration. Land use within the site is dedicated to forestry, hunting, fishing, mushroom and berry-picking. Factors adversely affecting its ecological character include reclamation of land, overgrazing, unregulated mowing and logging activities, recreational pressures, reduction of water levels and also radioactive contamination caused by the 1986 accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Ramsar site no. 2195. Most recent RIS information: 2013.
Yelnia. 21/10/02; Vitebsk Region; 23,200 ha; 55°35'N 027°52'E. Hydrological Zakaznik (Reserve). One of the largest of Belarus' complexes of bogs and transition mires, with adjacent moraine-lacustrine and glacio-lacustrine landscapes diversified by numerous lakes scattered around (and several larger lakes) and small-size mineral islands covered by small-leaved and spruce forests. Most of the mire is overgrown by pine forest. The site preserves a representative example of close-to-natural bog and regularly supports more than 20,000 waterbirds during migration, as well as more than 1% of the biogeographic population of the Common Crane Grus grus and the Bean Goose Anser fabalis rossicus. It exerts a signifcant influence on the hydrologic regime and microclimate of the region and acts as a biofilter of anthropogenic pollutants. Due to its inaccessibility, human uses are limited - berry-picking, angling, and hunting, with forestry on the periphery of the site. The most serious threat is drainage caused by ditches intended for peat works, now abandoned. Studies by BirdLife Belarus supported by RSPB, Wetlands International, and OMPO have assisted in preparing the designation data. Ramsar site no. 1218. Most recent RIS information: 2002.
Zvanets. 21/10/02; Brest Region; 15,873 ha; 52°05'N 024°50'E. Zakaznik (Reserve). Described as the largest European mesotrophic fen mire, diversified by small mineral islands scattered over the area and covered by forests and shrubs. There is one lake and a system of canals and ditches. It conserves a very well preserved example of sedge-Hypnum fen mires and is a hot spot for biodiversity (664 species of vascular plants, 728 species of arthropods and 168 species of vertebrates recorded) with rare, threatened and adapted-to-specific-conditions species. The site hosts three globally threatened species of birds - Spotted Eagle Aquila clanga, Corncrake Crex crex and notably the largest population of the Aquatic Warbler Acrocephalus paludicola (3,000-6,000 singing males). The site has significant regulatory functions for hydrology in the region. Human uses include small-scale bee keeping, cropping, hay making, cattle grazing, and forestry, and the site is used as a temporary water storage reservoir. Main threats - deteriorated hydrologic regime, fires, logging, and extension of arable land. A management plan, elaborated by the NGO Bird Conservation Belarus/BirdLife Belarus, is about to be approved. Ramsar site no. 1219. Most recent RIS information: 2002.

Parenting at the End of Your Rope
Why Moms Get Overwhelmed
You know the feeling. Your house is a complete disaster despite nonstop cleaning. Or your kids are flipping out in the grocery store and everyone is staring. Or you're a working mom with an important presentation to make, a toddler who's throwing up, and no backup childcare. You're at the end of your rope—a place that all parents have been many times before and will almost certainly be again.
Fortunately, there are tricks of the trade that can help us cope—including hearing from other moms who have been there and lived to tell the tale.
Melanie of Missouri (who asked to keep her last name private), a mom of two-year-old triplets, remembers one moment in particular when her kids were just newborns. "I was rocking our son, Sam, in the middle of the night. He was crying hysterically, and I couldn't get him to calm down. I was going on very little sleep, if any, and I was also worried he would wake the other two sleeping just feet from us. I was thinking to myself, 'My God, what have I done? What have I gotten myself into?'"
Moms of toddlers and preschoolers can feel just as harried as moms of newborns. Stephenie Freeman, columnist and mother of two, describes her tougher days like this: "I run myself ragged trying to meet my children's constant needs. I feel totally overwhelmed whenever one child is pulling on my leg wanting more juice, another child is yelling that he needs help wiping, I'm trying to cook three different dinners because no one likes the same thing, and everyone is crying because they want it now!"
Sleep deprivation, constant multitasking, struggling to balance work with family needs, and myriad other causes can all leave parents feeling frazzled.

Well, um, yeah I know :P
Though I guess you missed my point. I was like trying to say, it's not that cataclysmic. It's one week, and with a bit of teamwork, virtually everyone got it on the first day, and now BGs are back to normal.
All things considered, yeah, that's not how BGs are supposed to be. But at the same time, the "Everyone fighting in the middle ignoring objectives" and/or mindless zerging, isn't how BGs are supposed to be either.
*shrug* As someone who does both PvE and PvP, I can't help but feel people on both sides are overreacting just a little bit.

In May 2011, young Cirque du Monde participants from Quebec travelled to Wemotaci, an Atikamekw community some five hours from Montreal, to take part in the program's annual gathering, celebrating its 16 years in existence. These young people from all over Quebec received a warm welcome from the residents of Wemotaci, who were extremely pleased to be playing host to this merry troupe for three days! The event was organized by Cirque du Soleil and its local partner, the Wemotaci social services branch of the Conseil de la Nation Atikamekw. Several activities took place over the weekend, including a parade and the performance of a show—the highlight of a jam-packed year for young people from the communities involved in Cirque du Monde: Drummondville, Montreal, Quebec, Baie-Saint-Paul, Sherbrooke, Victoriaville, Wemotaci and Manawan, as well as the Inuit Cirqiniq program.
During the summer of 2011, Cirque du Soleil, the Fédération Équestre du Québec via its Équi-Qualité certified members and TOHU got together for an original initiative: EQUIFOLIA. This project allowed the children of the Saint-Michel neighbourhood in Montreal—among the most at-risk in Canada—to discover equestrian circus. Comprising a series of circus-themed equestrian games, EQUIFOLIA allowed the participants to learn while having fun. The project aimed, among other things, to achieve psychomotor, social and relational objectives via a safe, fun experience filled with humour, creativity and poetry. Respect, discipline, cooperation, attention, patience, self-confidence, the ability to be assertive but tactful, physical fitness and sense of responsibility are just some of the benefits to be gained by spending time with horses. 800 children registered in the Saint-Michel day camps were able to experience EQUIFOLIA through the month of July 2011.
Thanks to the annual school supply drive organized, Montreal employees were able to furnish the proper equipment to the children of 400 Saint-Michel families just in time for the beginning of the 2011 school year.
Organized in partnership with the Montreal Arts Council and La TOHU, the Prelude program was offered in 2011 to two groups of seven artists from the Saint-Michel neighbourhood, in a professionalization process in different performing arts disciplines. During a twelve-week period, these artists benefited from technical and professional resources, in order to help their creation projects progress, and to contribute to their professional development and management. The program aims to enrich their artistic approach by offering personalized accompaniment and access to rehearsal space while fostering contact with other creators and artistic disciplines.
Cirque du Soleil has also announced its participation in the establishment of the National Theatre School of Canada's (NTS) Creation and Technology Fund by investing $ 1 million over 5 years. National Bank of Canada, CIBC, AGF Management and Industrial Alliance will also contribute, ensuring that it will continue to grow for years to come. The NTS is a large talent pool where Cirque finds some of its experts in creation and production. Today, several NTS alumni work with Cirque du Soleil in fields as varied as props, production management, design, stage management, project management, etc. With the Creation and Technology Fund, students and teachers of the NTS will have access to advanced technological resources. Cirque du Soleil wants to promote the development of a new generation of highly skilled professionals that will contribute to its longevity and help its long-term development. Through this partnership, Cirque wishes that all the cultural industry will benefit from developing high-level specialists who will participate in Quebec's cultural effervescence in the performing arts field.
From an environmental standpoint, 2,911,000 liters of rainwater were collected at International Headquarters and used for sanitary equipment, landscaping maintenance and watering the vegetable gardens. 62% of non-hazardous waste generated at the International Headquarters was also recycled or composted. The printers used in offices were also replaced by less energy-consuming machines, some of which run on solid ink and generate 90% less waste than conventional laser equipment.

Glad you're finding good ways to kill time during the winter. Right now, I'm just playing Minecraft and watching saved SonicComicWorld reviews. Ugh, I miss that guy, it'd be nice if he started a new account. Serious Sam Heavy 10:46, August 9, 2012 (UTC)
- He was a guy who uploaded pretty much all of the Archie Sonic comics, from the beginning issues to onwards. He also made some pretty funny reviews. Then one day, apparently "he" had closed his account, though I feel it was something different. Eh... {Serious Sam Heavy 09:23, August 10, 2012 (UTC)

I've never played TF1 XP Serious Sam Heavy 11:57, August 20, 2012 (UTC)
Ah, I see, haha. Well, to put it in a nutshell, two descendants of a man known as Blutarch and Redmond (Hence, teams BLU and RED, respectively) placed each other on an all-out war with each other, the rivaling companies composed of 9 mercenaries (Scout, Soldier, Pyro, Demoman, Heavy, Engineer, Medic, Sniper, and Spy). Through various violent displays, both companies have been killing each other non-stop, while the brothers (who live on life-support) refuse to stop the ear for the sake of their greed. This, all set in the 1950s, set to be futuristic. The thing about TF2 story-wise, is that it really doesn't need a story, but you can read up the humorous comics they post on their website and official wiki. Serious Sam Heavy 09:14, August 21, 2012 (UTC)
- Pretty much, Oh, one more thing: Get the PC version. The Xbox version is never updated, and is left with very few levels and weapons. As long as you have a strong amount of memory left in your computer, you should be good to go with the game. Plus, it's Free to Play and Steam, all you have to do is download the Steam Application, install TF2, and have fun with one of the best multiplayer games of your life.

Hey Willaca, something weird is happening with your signature. Sometimes, and I don't know why it happens sometimes and doesn't happen other times, there's a line break in the middle of the signature. This is a bit weird, but it's a particular problem in places like Sonic News Network:Requests for User Rights, because the line break will interrupt the numbered list. Can you check it out please?

Re: Disney-Lucasfilm
Well, they didn't just buy the franchise; they bought Lucasfilm and its subsidiaries. It was a 4.5 billion dollar deal, and Disney also announced for an Episode VII to be releases in 2015, with new movies to follow every two-three years. One of the major concerns for me and many other fans is how the new films will ride roughshod over the established canon within the Expanded Universe. Will the events fit in nicely? Lucas himself has acknowledge the EU during an interview, so Lucasfilm's new lord and masters will know about it. And Lucasfilm themselves also mentioned that the new trilogy will be an entirely original story. Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher were apparently told about this back in August 2011! They're excited, and Hamill has remarked about "plans" so they may be involved in the new movie. And considering how they've aged, it would make sense for the movie to take place in 40 ABY, to coincide with the fortieth anniversary of Star Wars.
Another concern is over the fan community. Disney is known for having a "we own this now—YOU NO TOUCH" attitude over their properties, whereas Lucasfilm was more than lenient with the fans. How will this affect the costuming communities and organizations, such as the Rebel Legion or the 501st Legion; both organizations that are officially recognized by Lucasfilm? These organizations, along with several others, are long-standing non-profit organizations that raise money for charity. For Disney to stomp them to the ground would be the biggest insult to the fanbase.
Other concerns are with the current license holders, such as Dark Horse Comics. Since Disney also owns Marvel, one would think that they would want to toss Dark Horse aside as quickly as they can, and give the license to Marvel. However, again, many fans and creators are and would be against this. Dark Horse has a talented pool of writers and authors, and they frequently put their top names on the Star Wars issues. Marvel would not give Star Wars such a high priority. Their talent pool has been hit-or-miss for a while, though I wouldn't mind seeing Grant Morrison work on a Star Wars title...
This is going to be a deal that will live in infamy, that's for sure. Trak Nar Ramble on 07:33, November 1, 2012 (UTC)
- They bought Marvel a few years ago. When I read the press release of the Lucasfilm buyout, it seems that for all intents and purposes, Lucasfilm will continue to operate as a separate corporate entity. Fears that Disney may crack down on the fandom may be unfounded, but they're still a concern, as Disney does not have the greatest track record when it comes to those things. Also, they've already expressed wanting to make more merchandise.
- There are people who have already begun to sell off their entire collections due to this deal. Others are boycotting Disney and anything that Disney-Lucasfilm produce. Basically, it was bad news for us. Wookieepedia exploded yesterday with the influx of users, and TheForce.Net has seen a surge in new users. Very few people are actually happy about this. I was skeptical when I first heard the news. Then I checked it and was upset. A friend of mine was also very angry. I've since calmed down, and have even warmed up to some aspects of it, but for me and many others who are deeply embroiled in the EU and Wookieepedia... It felt as if Disney had kicked down my door, tied me to a chair, and forced me to watch as they burned all of my books. It was a sucker punch in the back of the head.
- Though, I will say one thing... Having the Disney castle appear before the Lucasfilm logo, and the complete lack of the Twentieth Century Fox fanfare will be very... weird. Trak Nar Ramble on 07:54, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

Compact and reversible stainless steel sink is ideal when space is at a premium. Supplied complete with waste kit, clips and sealing strip.
"Excellent value for money. I looked at various stores before purchasing from Wickes and found it the best looking design and value for money. Great looking sink which is compact, but not too small that it looks out of proportion with the kitchen. I had looked at more expensive brands but am very pleased I went with this sink as it ticks all of the boxes for us."
"Looks the part to start with, but in use is thin, taps flex easily and is of poor quality. Looks like a well used sink after just 3 weeks use. Shows every scratch and watermark. I know you get what you pay for, and whilst we bought this due to size constraints, I would suggest to find a much better quality product, dimensions withstanding."
"this sink is great for all those limited space jobs and has a good grip round the edges for fitting and varied blanks."

The World Aquarium participates in local, regional, national and international conservation projects, including the following:
The World Aquarium's Conservation for the Oceans Foundation's (CFTO) Advisory Board Member, John Englander, has written the book, High Tide On Main Street, which was just released October 30, 2012. The book discusses the current phenomenon sea level rise worldwide and how it will affect communities everywhere. A portion of the proceeds for each book will go to support the World Aquarium and CFTO.

Animal Rescue
The World Aquarium serves as a sanctuary for the unwanted exotic animals that need to be given up due to an owner's lack of funds to support them properly. The World Aquarium is dedicated to providing a safe haven for these animals so that they may have a comfortable place to live out the rest of their natural lives. The Aquarium is also dedicated to trying to educate the public of the special needs of exotic animals. Too many people purchase these wonderful animals and have no idea as to what is going to be required or what to expect from the animals themselves. Too late they realize that they are not prepared or cannot afford their "pets" any longer. Working with a supportive and involved board of directors and highly dedicated volunteers at the Aquarium, we are here not to promote these animals as pets, but rather to provide clear examples of the consequences of human self-interest and interference in the animals' lives.
Monsanto Fund
Since 2010, The Aquarium has received a grant from the Monsanto Fund for our Incubator Science Program.
US Army Corps of Engineers
Since 2000, The Aquarium has worked and collaborated with the Army Corps of Engineers for the Environmental Coordination of the Middle Mississippi River and on the Dead Zone Commission.
Sustainable Seafood
Seafood Watch Program
As a Conservation Outreach Partner of Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch Program, we are recommending that each person commit themselves by buying seafood that is "sustainable" to become effective in creating a positive change in the environment. We believe that by identifying sustainable and best practices toward the fishery and aquaculture industries and by acting locally, the consumer can make a difference through their economic activity of feeding their families a nutritious diet that will also protect, preserve, and conserve our world's living aquatic ecosystems.

Stapleton's TV daughter Sally Struthers (Gloria) shares memories of her onscreen mom, who passed away May 31 at age 90 of undisclosed causes.

Empathy is more powerful than hate, and our lives should be dedicated to making it go viral.
Zak Ebrahim, The Terrorist's Son
Empathy is more powerful than hate, and our lives should be dedicated to making it go viral.
What it does not have is a neat little ending where the reader comes to believe that a wronged man is in jail. Mr. Morris is, however, convinced.
I believe he is innocent. I don't see any evidence to suggest that he is guilty," said Mr. Morris.
A few times during his presidency, Obama admitted, he had written a personal check or made a phone call on the writer's behalf, believing that it was his only way to ensure a fast result. "It's not something I should advertise, but it has happened," he told [Saslow]. Many other times, he had forwarded letters to government agencies or Cabinet secretaries after attaching a standard, handwritten note that read: "Can you please take care of this?"
"Some of these letters you read and you say, 'Gosh, I really want to help this person, and I may not have the tools to help them right now,' " the president said. "And then you start thinking about the fact that for every one person that wrote describing their story, there might be another hundred thousand going through the same thing. So there are times when I'm reading the letters and I feel pained that I can't do more, faster, to make a difference in their lives."
"The Phantom Tollbooth" is not just a manifesto for learning; it is a manifesto for the liberal arts, for a liberal education, and even for the liberal-arts college. What Milo discovers is that math and literature, Dictionopolis and Digitopolis, should assume their places not under the pentagon of Purpose and Power but under the presidency of Rhyme and Reason. Learning isn't a set of things that we know but a world that we enter.
Norton Juster's "The Phantom Tollbooth" at 50 : The New Yorker
This is just a really great article about a really great book.(via ryeisenberg)
Let's get this out of the way quickly: Moneyball was not a book about nerds and statistics and butterball catchers who do nothing but walk—not really. It was a book about the temporarily misperceived value of nerds and statistics and butterball catchers who do nothing but walk and, above all, about how to profit off that misperception. Which is to say that, at bottom, Moneyball was a book about a charismatic visionary (Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane) who achieved success by exploiting market inefficiencies. This is a conceit known as Every Business Book Ever. The guy sitting next to you on an airplane is reading a book like that. Malcolm Gladwell farts books like that. Moneyball told a simple story and told it wonderfully, but baseball being what it is—a game so thoroughly wrapped in its own bullshit that you'd need a grand jury to find its soul—the book was received as heresy.
