If It Warms Up, Who's Going to Pay?
Poorer countries insist there will be no environmental agreement unless wealthy countries help them adapt to the possible effects of global warming. Samuel Fankhauser offers a blueprint for cooperation.
As the most important environmental conference in more than a decade gets under way in Copenhagen this week, much of the talk, as usual, is on reducing greenhouse-gas emissions.
But there's another issue that needs to be addressed—one that is crucial for reaching an overall agreement, but doesn't get nearly as much attention.
The Journal Report
See the complete Environment report.
That issue is adaptation.
Without a deal on how to cope with the possible effects of climate change, there will be no agreement in Copenhagen—or at any future conference, for that matter. That's because developing countries, which likely will suffer some of the worst impact of any significant warming, have made it clear that they will not agree to an emissions-reduction package without substantial help in coping with the increased flooding, drought and disease that many scientists say will result from a warming planet.
Reaching such a deal won't be easy. But the good news is that it's a lot more doable than it was just a few years ago, when just talking about adaptation was thought to mean giving up on reducing emissions. By contrast, a growing number of people now believe that some adaptation is unavoidable.
How much adaptation? That's hard to say. But many scientists doubt we will halt global warming at less than two degrees Celsius (3.6 degress Fahrenheit). That may not sound like much. But just look around to see how fine-tuned our economies are to the current climate. A change of two degrees will potentially affect consumer behavior (where we live, what we wear, where we go on vacation), production decisions (how we produce our food) and the design of our buildings and infrastructure.
More specifically, if temperatures were to rise by two degrees or more, farmers might have to change crops, planting dates, fertilizer and pesticide regimes. Water companies might have to invest in new reservoirs, and maybe build desalination plants to deal with droughts. Hydroelectric-power stations might have to be adapted to accommodate different rainfall patterns. Electricity grids might have to be strengthened to deal with demand surges during heat waves. Coastal infrastructure, including seaports, power stations, roads, tourist beaches, levees and dikes, might have to be redesigned in response to rising sea levels. Settlements in areas prone to storms, floods or forest fires might have to be fortified or moved. Health services might have to prepare for heat waves and (in developing countries) for additional cases of malaria and other vector-borne diseases. And that's just for starters.
I'm not predicting all these things will definitely happen. But if just some of these changes are forced upon us, we're talking about major upheavals—and the need for major resources, especially in poorer countries.
So, how can developed countries and emerging nations reach an agreement on adaptation? I see the need to come together on four key contentious issues.
Framing the Issue
Most developing countries see support for adaptation measures as, in essence, compensation for the damage caused by the emissions of developed countries. You broke it, you fix it. But such a concept is a nonstarter as far as the developed world is concerned. Compensation implies liability, and if the developed world is "responsible" for the damage caused by global warming, then payments to compensate for that damage are likely to be more open-ended, outside their control and potentially subject to litigation. In addition, developed countries say, the relative contributions to global warming are evolving, and developing nations are increasingly doing their part in worsening the problem.
It's a fundamental difference, but one I believe is surmountable. Rather than see adaptation support as compensation for damages, I suggest it is better to consider it as a way to show global solidarity, to fairly deal with a shared challenge. The strong should help out the weak.
This isn't just a matter of semantics. "Solidarity" takes the question of responsibility off the table, making it more likely the developed countries will go along with an agreement and possibly allowing developing countries to get funds more easily. Such an approach may seem like a nuanced difference, but it has the potential to break down some psychological barriers on both sides, and allow all the parties to move forward.
How Much Money?
This issue is the most obvious, and in many ways the most vexing in the long term: How much money do we need to set aside?
We aren't talking a pittance here. An agreement could mean financial transfers totaling tens of billions of dollars a year, so the debate is going to be a fierce one. Clearly, the developing countries are going to be looking for as much as possible, while the industrial countries are going to try to keep the amount of money they have to contribute at what they consider will be a reasonable, and presumably lower, level.
The problem right now is that nobody knows for sure what adaptation will cost. Some rough estimates exist: The World Bank figures adaptation costs might total $75 billion to $100 billion a year by 2030; the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate commissioned a study that came to roughly the same conclusion. But both organizations admit their figures are speculative. And the reality is that adding up the countless measures people may need to take to deal with climate change is pretty much impossible.
So let's not even try at this point. Negotiators in Copenhagen do not need to agree on a final figure. Instead, they should agree on an initial target amount, based on the World Bank and the U.N. figures, and set up a review process to adjust payments as we find out more about our adaptation needs.
What's more, payments can be phased to start with priority needs, such as steps to deal with current climate events—things like storm-warning systems and crop-insurance programs. Many of these initial steps will be relatively cheap.
In a world where so much is uncertain and our understanding is bound to improve, it would be irrational to lock in our spending in advance. It is like the Federal Reserve freezing interest rates for several years ahead; we know there will be developments that require fine-tuning.
Who Makes the Decisions?
The third place where we need agreement in Copenhagen is how adaptation funding should be governed—that is, who makes spending decisions, and how do they decide on spending priorities?
Again, the disagreement is pretty basic: Everybody wants to call the shots. Developed countries believe the traditional institutions, such as the World Bank and the Global Environment Facility, should play the same roles with adaptation funds as they do with development aid: evaluating projects, handing out funds, monitoring their success or failure. After all, developed countries say, they have a responsibility to their taxpayers to make sure adaptation money is well spent.
But developing nations fear these traditional institutions, dominated by developed nations, will be too slow and too stingy. And they argue that adaptation funding is a different animal than development aid. They object to being forced once again into the role of the weak—and presumably grateful—recipients of aid from donor countries, when they believe it was these donor countries that caused the problem in the first place.
Countries reached a breakthrough on the question two years ago in Bali, when they set up a new Adaptation Fund governed by a board made up of representatives from both developed and developing countries.
But so far the truth is that such power sharing exists only in theory. The Adaptation Fund consists of little more than a governing board at this point, and is responsible for a fraction of the money set aside to deal with global warming's impact. Most funds targeting such assistance still come through the traditional institutions.
In the future, developing countries insist, the Adaptation Fund should wield control over more of the funds directed at adaptation spending. Rather than relying on institutions such as the World Bank to identify, appraise, implement and monitor adaptation projects, they say, such oversight should be the province of individual countries.
Complicating matters is how impossible it is to tell whether any particular need is the result of climate change or simply normal climate variability. A drought is a drought, no matter what the underlying cause. And yet for developed nations, the cause determines whether the money should be funded separately from baseline development aid, or as part of it.
One possible solution is to let developing countries write their own development and adaptation plans in consultation with aid agencies. These plans already exist to coordinate development aid, but from now on they should also cover adaptation.
This will only work for countries that have the governance necessary to control such spending. Where that is not the case adaptation spending would have to be overseen by the more traditional aid institutions.
Where the Money Comes From
The fourth issue that needs to be settled in Copenhagen is the actual source of financing.
This has to be one of the worst moment in decades to raise funding for international causes. After bank bailouts and multibillion-dollar economic-stimulus packages, most industrialized countries are facing massive government deficits. They are preparing for painful spending cuts over the medium term. It is an unfortunate moment, clearly, to talk about new funding commitments.
Still, even if times were less dire, the funding discussion would be fraught. The easiest way by far would be for developed countries to simply increase their aid budgets. But developing countries balk at that for two reasons.
First, developed countries have a history of generous pledges on which they don't deliver. Second, even if they did pay up, there is a strong suspicion that part of the payments would simply be relabeled development aid. That is, the money would not be an addition to what is already pledged.
The search is therefore on for new, independent sources of money. This is easier said than done. New sources of finance usually mean giving revenue-raising powers to international organizations such as the United Nations, or curtailing the fiscal sovereignty of national treasuries, or both. Finance ministers will veto any such proposal as a matter of principle. Would the Senate ratify a treaty that allows the U.N. to raise money directly from U.S. corporations? Unlikely.
So, the challenge in Copenhagen is to find a source of money that maintains the sovereignty of national treasuries but gives developing countries confidence that the money will be forthcoming. There is no silver bullet yet, but it is likely that several sources of finance will have to be tapped. They will have different features, appealing to the different constituencies to different degrees. But revenues will almost certainly have to be shared with other climate-change objectives, such as the development and dissemination of new technologies.
Many options have been put forward. One of the most intriguing suggestions is the sale of additional emission rights to countries unable to meet their emission-reduction targets. Another proposal is a tax on international aviation and shipping, two important sources of carbon emissions that are currently outside the Kyoto Protocol, the international treaty to fight global warming.
The main source of support for the Adaptation Fund at the moment is a levy on emission-reduction projects under the international carbon-trading program set up by the Kyoto Protocol. The levy gives 2% of the emission-reduction credits generated by, say, a new wind farm or a reforestation project to the Adaptation Fund, which then can sell the credits on the secondary market. Although it goes against economic logic to tax emission reductions, rather than emissions themselves, the levy could be extended, particularly if Copenhagen leads to the expected reform of the global carbon market.
The outcome of the Copenhagen summit is still in the balance. We can expect that there will be some sort of agreement, but how substantial it will be is very much up in the air. A deal on adaptation would go a long way toward securing a successful Copenhagen outcome.

Counselors Face 'Bigger Issues' Than One Florida
Diamond, Laura, The Florida Times Union
Guidance counselor Everett Morris isn't worried about explaining to Englewood High School students the One Florida Initiative, which promises college admission to kids who graduate in the top 20 percent of their class.
For Morris and other high school counselors, the challenge is motivating students to care about high school, let alone college.
Last year, more than one-third of all Duval County high school freshmen failed. Guidance counselors are charged with correcting this problem along with their regular duties as the testing coordinator, class scheduler and in many cases, social worker.
"Most of our time is spent on trying to get them to graduate," said Morris, chairman of the guidance department at Englewood. "One Florida is not a real big factor. We have bigger issues to take care of."
Under Gov. Jeb Bush's One Florida, which ends the use of racial preferences in university admissions and state contracting, students who graduate in the top 20 percent of their high school class are guaranteed admission to a state college provided they complete 19 college-prep courses.
For One Florida to be successful, public schools must identify early students who are interested in college and encourage them to take the courses to make them eligible for the guaranteed admission, Lt. Gov. Frank Brogan said.
"The job of prepping kids for college falls back on the the people doing the scheduling," Brogan said. "They can't force students to take certain classes, but the guidance counselors have a responsibility to work for and fight for the child. The idea is to motivate students."
This incitement is key in the state's historically low-performing schools where students typically do not attend college, he added.
Local guidance counselors agree they should provide the stimulus for students to attend college. They realize an ideal time to do so is while scheduling students for next year's classes. But counselors explain they lack the staff to meet with kids one-on-one.
Among the large school systems in Florida, Duval County has the highest number of students assigned per counselor, 634 to 1, according to the state Department of Education. By comparison, Orange County public schools, which is closest in size to Duval with about 128,000 students, has one guidance counselor for every 476 students.
Andrew Jackson has two guidance counselors working with the school's nearly 1,500 students. Rather than meeting with each student individually, the counselors will hold assemblies to explain course offerings for next year.
"I am not sure we are putting forth as much effort as we should because we are short-staffed," said Sharon Stone, guidance department chairwoman at Andrew Jackson. "And to be honest, I really don't think this whole One Florida program is necessary. …

The United States Naval Institute News service was the first to report that President Trump would appoint financier Philip Bilden to be nominated for Secretary of the Navy. USNI News was among the last to report Philip Bilden would drop out.
Financier Philip Bilden has withdrawn himself from consideration to be the next Secretary of the Navy, he said in a Sunday statement.
In the statement, Bilden said he would be unable to meet the requirements of the Office of Government Ethics requirements for the position without "materially adverse divestment" of his family's financial interests.
"I fully support the President's agenda and the [Secretary of Defense James Mattis'] leadership to modernize and rebuild our Navy and Marine Corps, and I will continue to support their efforts outside of the Department of the Navy," he said in the statement.
"However, after an extensive review process, I have determined that I will not be able to satisfy the Office of Government Ethics requirements without undue disruption and materially adverse divestment of my family's private financial interests."
In a Sunday statement, Mattis said the withdrawal "was a personal decision driven by privacy concerns and significant challenges he faced in separating himself from his business interests. While I am disappointed, I understand and his respect his decision, and know that he will continue to support our nation in other ways."
Mattis also said, "in the coming days I will make a recommendation to President Trump for a leader who can guide our Navy and Marine Corps team as we execute the president's vision to rebuild our military."
Thanks to Major Garrett's twitter account, this wasn't exactly unexpected news. Basically, that was the moment the financial conflict of interest was discovered and it was only a matter of time before he withdrew his name from the nomination. Political activists, both on social media and the media, may try to make this into something it isn't, but the bottom line is that it was going to be very difficult for Mr. Bilden to divest himself from the wealth the gentleman had accumulated over his career in International Finance in order to meet the government ethics requirements related to financial conflict of interest.
Having personally run into similar ethical requirements related to financial interests and working for government, it's very hard for me to see this as a big deal. Someone like me who had a few thousand dollars invested in activities that created an ethical financial conflict has nothing in common with someone like Philip Bilden who likely had millions of dollars to deal with. Most people who comment on this stuff have never actually dealt with the issue.
In the end Philip Bilden's nomination and subsequent withdrawal has everything to do with the process working as designed. Philip Bilden's nomination came from the well attuned voices in both the Naval War College Foundation and the United States Naval Institute, both of which have very influential naval insiders who know the man as someone actively engaged and interested in naval affairs, and willing to put his money where those interests are. In that context though, it was unlikely Philip Bilden's supporters saw any potential private financial conflicts of interest as ever being an issue that would prevent his appointmnet, so when credible people recommended him to the President, it isn't hard to see President Trump appreciating the recommendation of an outsider with big name endorsements who General Mattis was also endorsing.
The Navy undoubtedly needs more people like Philip Bilden in their corner, but that can't override how the government undoubtedly needs people who can get through the financial ethics requirements related to offshore investments, and that goes double for this administration. From everything I have seen and heard, Philip Bilden is a great American, but the government financial ethics requirements are not really flexible when it comes to people with global investments. This would be true for most of the wealthy stars super of Hollywood, like George Clooney or Angelina Jolie, who have extensive foreign investments likely disqualifying them from ever being Secretary of State, for example, just as it is true for Philip Bilden. Bottom line, in American government you are considered far more qualified if you blow trillions of dollars of taxpayer money on government garbage than if you have effectively earned and invested your own wealth resulting in a portfolio showing foreign holdings. Amusing how that requirement for government service is both logical and remarkably pathetic.
I look forward to seeing who General Mattis recommends for the new Secretary of the Navy. While Randy Forbes would have to be the top safe pick on everyone's mind, I'm still hoping the President's team throws the 102 mph fastball right over the strike zone and picks from among the top folks in the next generation who didn't sign that War on the Rocks memo… folks like Mackenzie Eaglen, Jerry Hendrix, or Bryan Clark.

I thought of you just today.
Your smile, your laugh and the things you say.
I thought of the Angel that found this man.
I remembered the first time you held my hand.
I remembered the last time I touched your skin,
And dream about the day that I will again.
At night I lie awake and smile at the dark,
Because of the pictures I hold in my heart.
I know that one day these pictures will be replaced,
With events that will start when again I see your face

If you're like me, hypoglycemia makes you paranoid. Not just in the moment it happens, but for weeks and months after a significant low I just feel scared -- that it might hit me again at some unexpected moment out in public and no one around me would know what was happening. Which is why I am so religious about wearing medical ID jewelry. I'm also very fashion-conscious, so that med jewelry had better look good!
I'm happy to say I've recently discovered another great provider of pretty things that could save your life in Oneida Medical Jewelry, which has recently relocated to Florida and is refreshing its historical selection of products for our med ID pleasure.
I've worn a lot of beaded medical ID bracelets in my time, but never anything leather, and certainly never a necklace. So I was delighted to have the opportunity to try out two products from Oneida over the past several weeks: their classy Italian leather and steel bracelet, and their stainless steel caduceus pendant on a shiny ball chain.
Allow me to introduce the company, review the pieces they sent me, and offer you all a chance to win a voucher for a free piece of medical jewelry of your choosing!
When Oneida (pronounced Oh-Nye-Dah) approached me recently, I was surprised to learn that the company has been around for 50 years -- given that I'd never heard of them. Turns out the organization was one of the pioneers in the medical ID world. It was founded as National Nameplate Co. in Iowa in 1963 by Genny and Don Bennett, who attended an American Medical Association meeting that year about ways to help people relay their medical conditions to others in case of emergency where they might be unable to communicate. The manufacturing experts went off and designed a medical alert necklace and metal wallet card with a custom-engraved symbol. The AMA included information on these products in a national mailing to all U.S. pharmacies, and the rest is history, so to speak.
That is, until disaster struck recently. After Genny Bennett was killed not long ago in a wildfire, the Bennett family began looking for a partner to help maintain the business. They struck gold in Sticky Jewelry, the Florida-based company that many of us in the Diabetes Community are familiar with. Oneida has now moved its small operation to Saint Petersburg, FL, to work alongside Sticky Jewelry (now about 30 employees in all). Marketing contacts tell us that Sticky Jewelry will eventually focus on personalized jewelry, whereas Oneida will remain the core medical ID brand.
What's on Offer?
They're now offering not only their own custom-made products -- such as their signature raised, hand-soldered emblem -- but also select pieces from other great vendors like ChicAlert (featured here last year) and Links of Hope, a nonprofit organization that teaches women in Honduras how to create beaded jewelry and helps provide for their families.
Their bracelets span the gamut from fun kids plastic bands and colorful sports bands at $5.99 and $7.99 respectively to the very guy-friendly dark coffee leather ID bracelet at $37.99 to a classic elegant ladies bracelet complete with solid sterling silver Figaro chain at $84.95. The necklaces range from this fun flip-flop design ($24.99) to a variety of heavy-duty dog tags, to medical pendants that are actually attractive, like this blue and silver one ($19.95 with basic chain).
According to spokeswoman Kylie Thigpen, some points that set Oneida apart from other med jewelry vendors are: competitive low prices and free engraving; live customer service agents available 6 days a week, so you can reach a real person; and all stainless steel products are made with 316L Marine grade stainless steel that's hypoallergenic and non-corrosive, so it will last for years and not hurt you.
She says they also put an emphasis on finishing and shipping FAST -- as in, an order goes from placed to shipped in 3 days or less, regardless of shipping options.
"I've found that when people take the time to order a medical ID, they need it soon. It's so important to wear medical jewelry, so it's important you get it fast," she says.
Wearing Oneida
OK, fast is good, but what about wearing their stuff?
As noted, I chose a bracelet and necklace that are frankly out of my usual comfort zone for medical ID -- but have discovered that's what makes them so fun to wear.
The leather-band bracelet really does look modern and elegant, and I love that the combination of black and brown assures that it matches with everything. It also has this fantastic folding clasp that makes it waaaay easier to put on yourself than those tiny catch-clasps on most chain-style medical bracelets. Two lines of engraving fit beautifully on the back of the shiny plate. My only complaint is that the metal name plate doesn't stay put on the leather, but sometimes slips toward the clasp one way or the other. I wish it didn't do that. Also I should mention that they seem to run a bit large. I would have liked mine smaller, so as not to move up and down my arm so much. I'm trying to think of it as a bangle...
I chose the plain brushed-steel-look caduceus necklace because I know myself; if the necklace screamed, "Look, I have a medical condition! See it right here on my neck?!", I would never wear it. That's just me. This necklace is subtle enough to look like actual jewelry, yet (hopefully) recognizable enough in case of emergency. The chain is a good length at 20.5", and I had the same two lines engraved on the back of this one: "Type 1 Diabetic / Insulin-Dependent." That ought to do it, even for the most unfamiliar EMT... right?
In short, I think the products are solid and the prices are reasonable -- especially with no extra charges popping up for engraving. You can even "build your own bracelet" with lots of fun choices at this link. Their beaded strands are pretty darn nice as well.

What Programs/Apps are you running?
i'm jailbroken for a few weeks now, and recently my springboard keeps crashing and it goes into "safe mode" until i reset it. it happens sometimes up to 10 times per day!!! its getting ridiculously annoying. anyone know how to fix this problem?
What Programs/Apps are you running?

intelliscreen, aptbackup, xgps, mim, iblacklist, lockdown, winterboard, emoji, sbsettings
i cant stand that program.Originally Posted by kdawgg
sound like a software conflict... intelliscreen is probably the culprit but many run intelliscreen without problems. remove a program at a time, or remove em all and install em one at a time and see how your phone does. its probably not any one app, its one app that doesn't agree with another
It's way better now than it was before...Originally Posted by pooya
I remember hearing some issues between iblacklist and intelliscreen.Originally Posted by kdawgg
If you use rockyourphone, disable intelliscreen and see if that fixes anything.
If you don't use rockyourphone, you are probably running outdated intelliscreen version, or cracked version. Either way, buy / upgrade to the latest version, if you're going to keep using it.
Otherwise, try uninstalling iblacklist and other apps one at a time.
So I removed intelliscreen this morning and it seems to be working fine so far. My trial was up anyway and I didn't think it was worth purchasing.
thanks guys
Do you have the Cydia installer app, and if so, did you recently (as in, a few days ago) update it to version 1.0.2797-45? Supposedly/apparently that particular version has a fatal bug where certain programs (Rock Your Phone was listed but there may be others yet to be discovered) crash Springboard and put your phone into Safe Mode. Upgrading Cydia to version 1.0.2797-47 is supposed to fix the bug...Originally Posted by kdawgg
My SB crashes at least 5 times a day. I have Tenius theme installed, Winterboard, SBS, BossPrefs, Wifi icon, 3g icon, It is driving me nuts.
my best bet is intelliscreen or some theme you have. my phone restarted a bunch with intelliscreen. to me, its an unnecessary (and poorly written) app. my friend had a dialer theme that caused his phone to reboot non stop. go figure. i say look at the processes running before the reboot and tick them off one by one
I actually upgraded to 47 right after i removed intelliscreen. sb hasn't crashed since so I don't know if it was from removing intelliscreen or upgrading cydia. but it seemed to have fixed itOriginally Posted by tdoh
definately intelliscreen
I have v.-47 and I've been having a sad faced phone about 1-2 times per day, for a week. I've added some AppStore stuff, but nothing from Cydia (except for the required updates).
I guess I'll deal with it for now.
I don't subscribe to threads. If you've got something to say to me, PM.
I noticed tonight Snapture wasn't working and then Cydia stopped working - wouldn't even open.
I had been playing around with Intelliscreen during the day and had turned on the Performance boost. Once I unchecked this, Snapture and Cydia worked fine. I really thought I was going to have to restore my phone and then I came across this thread and saw how Intelliscreen seemed to be the cause.
I am very grateful for the search button and saved myself from going over the edge.

The Day of War
This story portrays the life of soldiers fighting in World War is from a soldier's standpoint and if you cannot understand the terms I recommend you see a doctor.
Chapter 1
B Company wasn't very big. In fact it might have been unofficially recognized as the smallest in the regiment. Its nickname was Bee Company, even though no one knows why. With other Companies the nicknames were earned or rightly deserved. The leader of B Company was nothing special, most of the men thought neutrally about him. He made the right decisions and proved himself a great leader but the men couldn't push themselves to like him. His name was James Ergo and he was well built and a good fighting man. But, it must be said that he abused his power frequently, unknown to the regiment commander, of course.
The regiment commander chose to put B Company in the front lines when they reached Normandy firstly because he trusted the leader, secondly because they where the most experienced men in the regiment. But one little problem haunted him. He hadn't told the leader yet. He knew James wasn't the type for last minute changes and a change that required all of his men to be in the most danger of all the regiment, certainly wouldn't help the situation. So he dreaded every minute he hadn't had the guts to tell him. Finally he couldn't take it anymore and he charged strait down to James's cabin.
"Do you want all of my men to die, sir?" said an infuriated James. "No, I just thought that your men were the most experienced and it would make sense to put them in the front" said the commander, trying to keep his voice calm. "Just because there the most experienced doesn't make you have to put them in the front!" said James growing angrier every second. "Look I don't like this any more than you James, but" "But what? What could we possibly achieve by killing off a whole Company?" said James cutting him off. "Nothing at all James, which is why im putting your company in the front," As James gave up he accepted the inevitable and walked out the door silently cursing to himself.
As the ships approached Normandy, B Company was readying there gear and James was trying to encourage the men. They all knew the fate of the regiment would be on there shoulders. The men who had seen action before knew what they where up against and adjusted their equipment to the circumstances. The recruits where constantly checking their gear and ammo. As the boats where lowered to the roaring sea below B Company, recruits and battle ready officers, where trembling with excitement. Excitement or fear, either way it didn't matter. Then they heard the signal to launch the boats. They where headed for ruff seas and artillary and at least one hundred men would die.

close support ever made bar none. It is pure joy to watch these birds in action.
America is not at war. The U.S. Military is at war. America is at the Mall. If you don't stand behind our troops, PLEASE feel free to stand in front of them!
"A" as in "attack" period.
None of this F/A crap. I've seen these guys up close and they are actually quite huge. You can blow a hole in the wing and it just keeps flying. I love the flying tiger mouth on some of these. I know of a female pilot of one of these who got her plane shot up pretty bad. She just flew it back. Her call sign was "Killer Chick."

tank killers. holloman afb has those out there.bad ass
guns dont kill people,fathers that have daughters kill people
kinda like the B-52
In the way they keep saying they are going to mothball them but they have yet to find something equal or better then them so they just keep using them! Love the Warthog!
Comparing the SU-34 to an A-10 is apples and oranges
They are not designed for the same job AT ALL. That's like comparing a cruiser to a submarine. The A-10 is a single seat close support straight wing attack aircraft built around a huge gatling gun, a GAU-8 Avenger. It's a tank killer designed to support boots on the ground. It is also designed for survivability. It can take dozens of hits and keep on flying.
The SU-34 is a two seat swept wing fighter/bomber designed for long missions. It has also never been tested in combat and a very few have been produced. If you're going to do the comparison gig, at least compare the SU-34 to a similar American plane such as an F-35 or a Super Hornet or an F-15.
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke
Schuyler is right,
as far as I know the Russian military doesn't have anything comparable to the A-10. When you want a 'close support' aircraft, you don't want fast, why do you think they were still using P-51 D in Vietnam? Because it was a lot slower than the jets.

greg az
Hamp.. the big close support A/C in Nam was the A1D
your right the french and then the south Vietnamese did have a few P-51's but the skyrader which was developed to late for WWII..was the big dog in Vietnam.. Much like the A-10 loved by troops.. course it didn't have the avenger gatling but did have 6 20MM cannons, and actually had one advantage over the warthog in it could "loiter" for ever.. All the troops loved the "sandy: just as they love the A10 now..
I was down in Tucson when they were first deployed to Davis Mofett AFB, and had buddies that used to go out to the Barry Goldwater range south of Ajo.. The plane is as we all know built around the cannon.. even nose gear is off set for it.. and we would hear stories about how the pilots were thrown forward in thier harness when they touched that puppy off...
I don't know if its going to be around as long as the "BUFF" which is now older than any pilot or crew on it, but it might be.. if it works don't fix it applies here..
So how is everyone tonight..
a man has to hold his word, hold his beliefs, and hold a good sight picture.

usual my pard greg has my back when I get the facts all fucked up, thanks. A little research on my part would go a long way....lol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_A-1_Skyraider

About the Retreat
This week will offer two classes daily (except one afternoon) with Simon, assisted by Yoga Academy teachers for every class. Simon is offering this week to all who wish to come for a focused yoga holiday at this fabulous location on beautiful Koh Samui. Come and enrich your practice, understanding and experience through Simon's transformative Yin and Yang Yoga. This week is suitable for students of all yoga traditions and styles. Children are also welcome.
About the Teacher
Simon Low
Simon Low, BWY and Yoga Alliance (E-RYT 500) teacher, is the Principal of The Yoga Academy offering foundational and continuing education to yoga teachers and students in the UK and internationally. After a career in the music industry based out of London and New York, Simon undertook training as yoga teacher and therapist 24 years ago with renowned yoga teacher, therapist and author Dr. Larry Payne at Samata International in Los Angeles, California. These studies were augmented by Simon's training in macrobiotics, bodywork and psycho-spiritual enquiry. Simon's foundational teachings are informed by the teachings of Sri T Krishnamacharya and his primary students. Simon's current teachings reflect his continued training and on-going studies with international teachers in many forms of Hatha and Classical yoga, traditional Chinese and eastern medicine, Chi Kung, ancient and contemporary healing methodologies, centred-movement, psychology and physical therapy. Simon is an ongoing student of A.H. Almaas' Ridhwan School, but his primary teacher lives within himself, a relationship he continues to cultivate with the help and guidance of his current teachers and practice. He inspires others to cultivate the same relationship within themselves and their own yoga practices.
Following many years of teaching in the UK, Simon co-founded Triyoga in London, where he was Director of Yoga until 2003, since which time he has concentrated on teacher training at The Yoga Academy and on leading study intensives, workshops and rejuvenating yoga retreats around the world. Over the years, Simon has developed a unique and personal teaching style and now practices and teaches a harmonious combination of Yin and Yang Yoga. Not a set system but a balanced approach that can inform and enrich all styles of yoga, Yin and Yang Yoga offers fresh vitality to yoga practice, kindness and respect to the human form, transformative breathing practices, and for the mind – the space for peace and tranquillity.
In 2007, Simon released his now very popular DVD "Yin and Yang Yoga" and will release a Yin Yoga App in 2013.

I have been sick for a while, fainting with no founded diagnosis, experiencing muscle pains, stress and constipation for many years. A friend of mine invited me to attend this retreat. After 7 days of detox and yoga, I found that I slept well, my snoring was gone, and my muscle pain in my arms was gone. I highly recommend everyone to be open minded, your health will be better. The therapists at Samahita Wellness were also experienced and approachable. Thank you to all the staff for making me better. More power to you.

For Saturday, March 10:
This year you relate on a one-on-one level, and people are more open as a result. You also come to understand what ails a key person in your life. If you are attached, this person could be your sweetie. If you are single, you might encounter stiffness when relating to new people. You are more open than in the past. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
•••• Defer to others as much as you want. Note that a partner or loved one might be too down in the dumps to make a decision. Tonight: Follow the crowds.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
••• Know that even you, the Bull, have a limited amount of energy. You can only push so far. You have had a lot on your plate. Tonight: Don't push.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
••••• Your creativity might fill in when plans fall flat or become too tried-and-true. Realize when you have had enough. Tonight: Kick up your heels.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
••• The basics do count, and you might be surprised at the role you play within a certain group of friends. Your nurturing and caring really count. Tonight: At home.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
•••• Where you are is where the crowds can be found. You might find that a friend drags you down, but you can change the scenario, if you so choose. Tonight: Hang out.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
•••• Your finances play a big role in making plans. You do not intend to be difficult, but you might need to veto certain ideas. Tonight: Treating yourself and others doesn't need to break the bank.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
•••• Your sense of direction sets the tone. How you handle a personal situation could change. You have been withdrawn, serious or maybe even negative. Tonight: Enjoy the moment.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
••• Take your time, and be more centered about what you want. Somehow, another person misses the point and might cause a problem. Tonight: Make it OK to be a bit lazy.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
••••• You cannot help but be yourself. Make plans surrounding a favorite hobby or pastime. Tonight: Be the ringmaster of the party.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
•••• You cannot minimize the importance of an older friend or relative in your life. You can only push so hard to meet your responsibilities, yet this person needs to feel important. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
••••• If you feel like taking off for the day, do. A change of scenery always renews you. Know when to say enough. Tonight: Where you can escape the here and now.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
•••• A relationship weighs you down. You have difficulty discovering what works and what you need to do. Detach some, and you will see things differently. Tonight: Be with that special friend.

Thanksgiving is one of our country's oldest and, not surprisingly, boring holidays. Basically, it's not all that different from any other day in 21st century America: excessive eating and watching TV. I will enjoy its gravy soaked excess until my last breath. I love the home-cooked spread, news stories about people going out of their way to help others, and the day off from work in the middle of the week.
Like any holiday though, Thanksgiving brings with it certain traditions that will remain awkward no matter how much turkey and booze you consume to forget.
1. Thanksgiving Parades. I'm not sure how the first Thanksgiving parade started, but I'm guessing horrendous lip syncing wasn't part of it. Since 1924, we've been subjected to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and a handful of other televised parades that nobody's watching except for high school band parents — sad really. Each year we get roughly two hours of Al Roker's bad jokes in between INSERT TEEN IDOL NAME HERE, marching bands from Anytown, USA and giant balloons of Garfield and Clifford. Consider it your piece of awkward nostalgia.
If you can't wait til Thursday, you can watch the entire thing from last year on YouTube (please don't though).
2. The Dark History of Thanksgiving. Surprise, kids! Your grade school teacher may have left out some Thanksgiving history while you were making that construction paper Pilgrim hat. We all know the story of Squanto helping the Plymouth Pilgrims survive winter with his revolutionary corn growing technique. What you might have missed is the part about Squanto having previously been captured and sold into European slavery by Thomas Hunt. How he didn't go Charles Bronson on their asses when he got back to the new world is beyond me. What he did do was work as a translator between the new settlers and Indian tribes, before dying of small pox along with 90 percent of the other natives in the area.
Enjoy that extra side of white guilt with your potatoes!
3. Your Weird/Annoying/Racist Relatives Are Coming For Dinner. C'mon, there's like two people in your extended family you give a crap about, and the others might as well be carnies that you've tried to prevent from ever meeting your significant other. They're all present at the dinner table: racist grandma, thrice divorced drunk uncle, uniformed 20-year-old with one year of college under his belt, etc.
4. The Detroit Lions Play. The Lions have been playing/losing this game since 1935, and the tradition continues this year against the Packers. Anybody remember that overtime loss the Lions encountered last year after the coach threw a bogus flag? I'm betting Kid Rock still cries about it at night into the boobs of whatever stripper happens to be in his bed. If watching the Lions play wasn't depressing enough, we're also forced to watch John Madden stuff his face before leading up to a halftime performance by whoever got knocked off The Voice that week. I can only pray to be passed out on tryptophan by then.
5. Black Friday Hordes. I like a good deal on electronics and jeans as much as the next guy, but I'm not willing to be pepper sprayed by a soccer mom for it. It didn't use to be this way, but in this world of Gangnam Style homicides, we're lead to believe that happiness will only come with that shiny new appliance at "too insane to be real prices!" Nothing ruins a post-Thanksgiving turnkey and stuffing sandwich like news headlines about folks getting trampled at Urban Outfitters.
And just because, here is the Hitchcock of turkey frying videos. The tension.

In addition, the Grand Slam IV is equipped with the most extensive 2-Line function found today. With its three versatile positional settings; Narrow, Medium, and Wide, you can groove your forehand and backhand ground strokes or use it as a great way to warm up your shots. Random, variable depth in 2-Line varies the depth of the shot randomly (short, mid and deep) within the normal 2-Line drills if selected. The user can select narrow, medium, wide 2-Line drills and if interested, select variable depth to keep things interesting.
Ideal for intermediate to advanced players as well as professional coaches.
A random feed option allows users to vary the rate or time interval between ball tosses. Mixing up the ball rate interval simulates match play and keeps players on their toes.
The Grand Slam IV is also equipped with the most revolutionary control panel and wireless remote control found today. The "Lexan" control panel utilizes "touch-buttons" instead of dials, knobs, and switches. It also has a digital LCD screen which allows you to view all menu selections and settings. For those players who consider themselves "technologically challenged", do not fear. The Grand Slam IV was developed to be incredibly user friendly and can be operated by even the youngest of players. For operation of the machine while "on the fly", the Grand Slam IV features the 20-function Grand Remote control as well as the Premium Charger. The state-of-the-art compact controller allows you to adjust most every function of the machine with just a push of a button. Enjoy instantaneous changes in functionality like; play/pause, oscillation sweep, fully random, 2-Line, speed, feed, spin, and much more.

Comments about Lobster Sports Lobster Elite Grand Four:
The Short Story: A great investment to dramatically improve your tennis game and fitness level with a machine that has implemented the right set of features and functions! Proud owner of an Elite Grand IV with 20 function remote and cover.The Long Story: I spent quite a bit of time evaluating whether or not to get a machine, and then which machine and from which manufacturer. At first inspection, the cost for any machine with the features I wanted was pricey. The initial sticker shock kind of held me back for a year or so until I finally realized what am I waiting for -- I love tennis and I want to become a better player! Then the decision was which machine from which manufacturer. After some back and forth emails to representatives from these companies and demoing some machines at local clubs, Lobster stood out above and beyond the rest. I went with the Elite Grand IV as this model seemed to have everything I wanted and has all the same mechanicals as the top-end Elite Grand V LE. In fact, you can upgrade the Grand IV to the Grand V LE with a new electronic panel if you want those extra features. The price to upgrade is not much different than the price between the machines so I figured this was the way to go to have the option down the road should I ever need it. I got the very useful 20 function remote and the top quality fabric/vinyl cover.I waited a few months after purchasing the machine in order to provide the most comprehensive and useful review possible. One concern I had was that I would enjoy the machine as a newbie owner and that the thrill would wear off in a few weeks. I enjoy using the machine more and more each time I am on the courts which is at least 3-4 days each week. So if you are reading this review, you probably want to know some specifics about the machine. What I can tell you is that one of the most important features to consider is portability of the machine. If you can't get the machine in/out of your car and to the court in one trip with your gear, that is a serious de-motivator. With the Lobster's size and great handle with large wheels, I make it to the court in one trip with my tennis bag on my back and a 150 ball hopper slung on one shoulder while pulling/pushing the machine with the free hand – real easy actually. The other machines with the small wheels and short handle would be a major hassle to get onto some of the courts I play on. One great feature of the Lobster that I could not find on other machines was the ability to randomly vary the depth of shot on two-line drills and some other modes like oscillation. This is absolutely great as it forces you to not become too complacent with the shots landing in the same place. And the Lobster is unbelievably accurate so it lands the balls in the same spot over and over if you want. Other machines lack this variable depth ability and in practice I believe this is a huge benefit. While other machines do have random oscillation and maybe even random spin, they lack the ability to alter the depth of shot. I like to groove a particular shot but want the ability for the machine to force me to move up/back so I can get the timing and footwork down in addition to the stroke itself. The topspin/underspin the machine can generate is amazing as well. You will really learn to see the ball better and adjust your shots accordingly. Plus the machine's ability to lob is also incredible so you can practice smashing those lobs from the net all the way back to no-man's land and beyond.The machine is really very quiet even when oscillating – you will not have to feel uncomfortable using it with other players nearby. The battery life is amazing too -- I have never run down a battery even to half way and I have been out on the courts for well over 2+ hours running the machine through its paces. And the 20 function remote is a real life saver. It is extremely light and clips right to your waist -- very convenient to start/pause the feed and adjust the speed, spin, elevation, or feed rate. I also play with my son and other family members and this machine is a great training aid since I can step back and watch them hit and give them constructive inputs from the same side of the court and even step in to demonstrate a few shots for them. That is something you cannot do when you are feeding balls to them from the other side of the net. When I first got the machine I had a few detailed questions about how to use/set/adjust some features and functions with the machine and/or remote and the support from Lobster was beyond great – a quality response in short order. If you are still reading this lengthy review, I can tell that you really want a machine but just have a hard time justifying it. The ability to practice on your own or with other family members and see demonstrable improvement in your game and fitness level is priceless and is all the justification you need. This is an investment for 20+ years and you can easily justify that to improve your game, spend quality time with family, and improve your fitness.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Lorenzo De Silvestri is confident Sampdoria can have a successful season, especially with their current crop of younger players.
The 26-year-old has joined the Bluerchiati permanently after two seasons on loan from Fiorentina.
But with his future secure, and Sinisa Mihajlovic as Coach, the defender believes the future is looking up.
"I'm helping the younger ones settle in," he told Sky Sport Italia.
"I want to set an example. The average age of our squad has dropped, but I think it'll be better that way.
"We're doing a lot of ball work already. But I really believe what we're doing at the moment will help us."
De Silvestri also hopes to regain a place in the Italy squad with some good club performances.
"I want to be near the Azzurri squad. However, it's a good group, so I know it's going to be tough to break in."

Good thoughts, Steve; thanks! A few thoughts and questions. Please don't take these as challenges; I'm trying to make sure I understand the problems you're addressing, and sometimes the easiest way to focus that is to ask "why wouldn't this work". 1) You requested the ability to produce an Iterator from a NodeList. I'm not 110% sure, but I _think_ you should be able to use an appropriate-filtered NodeIterator to achieve the same results more directly. (Eg, a filter that tests the node's name gives you something equivalent to getElementsByTagName.) If you've got a counterexample which this doesn't handle, I'd be interested in seeing it; that may mean we missed something in the Iterator's design. 2) One of the communities which requested ownerElement was XSL, which wants a way to get the "parent" (in XSL terms) of any node. Since that node could be a default Attr, we can't force ownerElement of defaults to null without breaking their use case. Making that optional... Hm. Sanity check: How painful would it be to have a lightweight proxy Attr, which carries only the ownerElement field and consults a shared back-end object for the rest of the Attr's behavior? It's not quite as cheap as sharing the whole Attr, but it may be less expensive than duplicating the bigger object. If you alter the value of an Attr you'd have to break that association to avoid changing all instances, but that's doable. 3) I too would have preferred that EntityReference be only a reference and that folks consult the Entity to obtain its content, and now a TreeWalker or Iterator could be made smart enough to follow that link for you. I'm not entirely opposed to having that be a third recognized state alongside in-place expansion and the current EntityRef-plus-subtree... though some folks are grumbling that two options was already one too many. (Unfortunately they're still split on which one they want!) Note that you can actually achieve this result today, if (a) your DOM builds the EntityReference's kids only when they're called for and (b) you can convince users to adopt the appropriate coding style. In that case, the subtree would only be replicated for users who don't follow your advice and insist on directly asking for the EntRef's kids. Is that close enough, or do you really need the new state to be made explicit? 4) People have run DOMs in palmtops and smartphones. It does require careful coding. (I _wish_ Java had unions!) Yes, storage there will always be limited compared to the desktop... as will bandwidth for download and CPU cycles, so filtering/transcoding in the server may be worth considering as an alternative to doing so on the palmtop. This might be a legitimate niche for a DOM-compatable subset, rather than a full DOM Level 1, especially since folks (currently) don't do much program development on the palmtop itself. 5) Attaching side info to the tree: We have looked at that issue. It seems to be a reasonable idea, especially when described as "lightweight portable subclassing". It gets a bit messier when you start thinking about what to do when a node gets cloned, and we never decided whether this was Core or optional (and if optional, whether part of an existing Feature or a Feature of its own). We just didn't have a solid proposal ready in time for Level 2. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM ResearchReceived on Thursday, 7 October 1999 14:57:40 UTC

And you thought you knew everything there was to know about the Nazis:
Adolf Hitler wanted his soldiers' women to be dolls – literally.
The Nazi leader ordered the Nazis to develop so-called sex dolls to help keep his troops away from French women-who his henchmen said had been giving them sexually transmitted diseases and keeping them off the battlefield, The Sun reported.
The secret project, known as the "Borghild Project," was discovered by author Graeme Donald while he was researching the history of the Barbie doll.
The project began in 1940 when SS chief Heinrich Himmler wrote that the "greatest danger in Paris is the widespread and uncontrolled presence of whores, picking up clients in bars, dance halls, and other places."
"It is our duty to prevent soldiers from risking their health for the sake of a quick adventure," he said in a memo.
Yeah, I could see why they would not want this getting around, Aryan supremacy, funny. Although, they did have condoms back then, weren't they part of the American GI's basic survival kit when going abroad?
You can read about the project here.
Some choice excerpts:
were meant to follow the Stormtroopers in " desinfections-trailers" into the enemy`s land, in order to stop them visiting "infection herds"
So the army traveled with it's own portable brothel where soldiers could go inside and tear one off with the doll of his choice. But how do you find that "special" one, you don't want to screw the one that every other guy goes after, that would make her a whore.
"Sure thing, purpose and goal of the dolls is to relieve our soldiers. They have to fight and not be on the browl or mingle with "foreign womenfolk". However: no real men will prefer a doll to a real woman, until our technicians meet the following quality standards-
1. The synthetic flesh has to feel the same like real flesh
2. The doll' s body should be as agile and moveable as the real body
3. The doll's organ should feel absolutely realistic."
Allow me to make a #4: They must not, under any circumstances, be able to talk.
And even then, does anyone really think this would work? I mean isn't plundering all about taking the spoils of war from the conquered? Dodging bullets all day makes one rather randy, so any Fräulein or Mademoiselle within grabbing distance would be much more appealing then some "galvonoplastical doll". The female populations of distant lands has always been a motivation for rallying troops to battle.
This whole concept, dumb as it is, lowers the bar dramatically of that master race they claimed to be. Although it is interesting that the 50 or so prototypes were sent to Berlin for further testing, then mysteriously lost track of. We knew Hitler and his posse were all degenerate sociopaths, but throw "playing with dolls" into the mix, even the Russians had standards.

Better Than Ezra are the million-selling band with hits like Good and A Lifetime and has a fan base so faithful they've dubbed themselves the Ezralites. So what's the story behind that name? 'We have never revealed it, even under duress,' says frontman, Kevin Griffin. These are the songs that have inspired him over the years.
Friendly Fires / Paris (Aeroplane Remix)
I love this band's album and this remix makes me feel like going out on the town.
Metric / Help I'm Alive
Great band and song. Really cool arrangement and mixture of styles.
Iggy Pop / Nightclubbing
I've always loved this song. It's got such a sleazy, 70s New York vibe.
Neko Case / Hold On, Hold On
I could listen to Neko Case's voice all the time. All her music is wonderful. She is one of the best lyricists out there.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs / Maps
Who doesn't like this song?
Supergrass / Late in the Day
I hadn't listened to this song in ages, then it popped up on iTunes. Great video, too.
The Raconteurs / Consoler of the Lonely
I must admit that I didn't want to like The Raconteurs, just because everything Jack White does is cool. But both of their albums are fantastic and this song rocks.
Air / Cherry Blossom Girl
I've always liked Air and this is one of my favorites. I think Hope Sandoval is singing in the background.

Para Resources is a gold mining company with projects in Brazil, Colombia and Arizona.
Our gold and copper project at Tucuma, Brazil is expected to be a high-grade, low-cost production.
With a clear development path for our existing projects, Para Resources is well-positioned for future growth. We will continue to take advantage of current market conditions and add additional low-risk, accretive assets to our portfolio.
located near the town of Zaragoza, Colombia, is a high-grade gold mine and mill, currently producing gold an estimated cost of $700/oz.
Para Resources recently completed an upgrade program at El Limon, increasing the mill capacity to 100tpd and putting the infrastructure in place to increase production to 200tpd at a later date. Nearly 60 independent gold mining operations are located in very close proximity to the El Limon production facility, which represents very strong toll milling potential for the company.VIEW PROJECT DETAILS
