Sunspots reaching 1,000-year high
By Dr David Whitehouse
BBC News Online science editor
A new analysis shows that the Sun is more active now than it has been at anytime in the previous 1,000 years. scientists based at the Institute for Astronomy in Zurich used ice cores from Greenland to construct a picture of our star's activity in the past. They say that over the last century the number of sunspots rose at the same time that the Earth's climate became steadily warmer. This trend is being amplified by gases from fossil fuel burning, they argue.
'Little Ice Age'
Sunspots have been monitored on the Sun since 1610, shortly after the invention of the telescope. They provide the longest-running direct measurement of our star's activity. The variation in sunspot numbers has revealed the Sun's 11-year cycle of activity as well as other, longer-term changes. In particular, it has been noted that between about 1645 and 1715, few sunspots were seen on the Sun's surface. This period is called the Maunder Minimum after the English astronomer who studied it. It coincided with a spell of prolonged cold weather often referred to as the "Little Ice Age". Solar scientists strongly suspect there is a link between the two events - but the exact mechanism remains elusive.
Over the past few thousand years there is evidence of earlier Maunder-like coolings in the Earth's climate - indicated by tree-ring measurements that show slow growth due to prolonged cold. In an attempt to determine what happened to sunspots during these other cold periods, Dr Sami Solanki and colleagues have looked at concentrations of a form, or isotope, of beryllium in ice cores from Greenland. The isotope is created by cosmic rays - high-energy particles from the depths of the galaxy. The flux of cosmic rays reaching the Earth's surface is modulated by the strength of the solar wind, the charged particles that stream away from the Sun's surface. And since the strength of the solar wind varies over the sunspot cycle, the amount of beryllium in the ice at a time in the past can therefore be used to infer the state of the Sun and, roughly, the number of sunspots.
Latest warming
Dr Solanki is presenting a paper on the reconstruction of past solar activity at Cool Stars, Stellar Systems And The Sun, a conference in Hamburg, Germany. He says that the reconstruction shows the Maunder Minimum and the other minima that are known in the past thousand years. But the most striking feature, he says, is that looking at the past 1,150 years the Sun has never been as active as it has been during the past 60 years. Over the past few hundred years, there has been a steady increase in the numbers of sunspots, a trend that has accelerated in the past century, just at the time when the Earth has been getting warmer. The data suggests that changing solar activity is influencing in some way the global climate causing the world to get warmer.
Over the past 20 years, however, the number of sunspots has remained roughly constant, yet the average temperature of the Earth has continued to increase. This is put down to a human-produced greenhouse effect caused by the combustion of fossil fuels. This latest analysis shows that the Sun has had a considerable indirect influence on the global climate in the past, causing the Earth to warm or chill, and that mankind is amplifying the Sun's latest attempt to warm the Earth.

Unusually thick pack ice this year is trapping vessels off Newfoundland
Frank Pinhorn, executive director of the Canadian Sealers Association, said the amount of ice was unprecedented.
Ice conditions are some of the most severe we've seen in 25 to 30 years, Mr. Pinhorn said.
i saw 'an inconvenient truth' finally last week. is this a good place to bring it up, or should it be in a separate thread..? *goes off to look*
The shoggoths are coming ...
The latest edition of Science reports on new research suggesting that the Antarctic Southern Ocean has been saturated with carbon dioxide at least since the 1980s: The Southern Ocean around Antarctica is so loaded with carbon dioxide that it can barely absorb any more, so more of the gas will stay in the atmosphere to warm up the planet, scientists reported Thursday. Elsewhere, NASA confirms widespread melting in Western Antarctica: NASA scientists say they have found mass evidence of the effect of global warming in Western Antarctica where a massive amount of snow and ice had melted in January 2005 in response to warm temperatures.
... as the (Western) bourgeoise bio-fuel fetish backfires: bio-fuels are likely to "starve the poor" around the world, according to Runge and Senauer, as staples are converted to ethanol production for the privileged - cassava in sub-Saharan Africa, to take one ominous example. Meanwhile, in Southeast Asia, tropical forests are cleared and burned for oil palms destined for bio fuel, and there are threatening environmental effects from input-rich production of corn-based ethanol in the United States as well.

Clean Coal while China opens a new coal-fired power plant every week...
"Al Gore, self-appointed alpha Earth savior, and most of the environmental mainstream, are on record as talking about the future promise of clean coal and forest biofuel technologies; just another reminder of the extent to which the mainstream environmental movement has neither diagnosed the seriousness of the global biosphere's condition nor presented solutions adequate to sufficiently address ecocide in a timely manner without making things worse. Energy and climate solutions that increase pressures upon the biosphere are no help at all."
It seems, though, that Gore has - just last week, speaking in Argentina - begun questioning his former assumptions: Every potential solution much be handled carefully and the danger with biofuels is that extremely valuable forests will be destroyed unnecessarily ... Another danger is that, if it is not pursued carefully, it will drive food prices up. The problem, of course, is that it's no longer a case of "will be" - its all already happening.
The history of global heating has largely been written by coal and forest loss, now wrongly hailed as climate change solutions
Two of the biggest, most dangerous lies being promoted in response to global warming are that clean coal exists and the world's forests are adequate to provide biofuel. Dirty coal and industrial forest harvest for energy only accelerates the root causes of looming Doomsday for the Earth - that is destruction of the biosphere's atmospheric and terrestrial ecosystems.
Coal burning and forest loss have been the leading culprit in climate change to date, and should their continued use at any scale be pursued as the solution to climate change and energy security, it will prove the death-knell for the Planet. We need less fossil fuel use and more forest regeneration, not the reverse.
The myth of "Clean Coal" is pernicious nonsense, as promised carbon sequestration technologies remain unproven, are not likely to be pursued at any scale anytime soon and are primarily used to put off limits on burning coal. Coal is cheap, plentiful and dirty. Carbon emissions from burning coal have been the leading cause of global warming. The world's coal reserves hold some 3500 gigatonne of carbon, compared to the atmosphere currently holding around 800 gigatonne (600 gigatonne before the industrial revolution). If this coal is burnt and carbon vented into the atmosphere the planet will be several times past the concentration of carbon dioxide considered able to be adapted to safely.
China is opening another coal plant every 7 to 10 days. The U.S. coal industry is rushing to build some 150 new plants before mandatory carbon caps, carbon taxes or carbon sequestration are put in place. Each of these new dirty coal plants uses the oldest of technologies, locking the world's two greatest polluters into dirty coal for at least 50 more years. I know of no plans to make carbon sequestration mandatory any time soon for new coal plants. It will be at least 10 years before we know if geosequestration even works. Carbon capture and storage is expensive, increasing the costs of power generation by 40 to 80%. Despite all the promises of coal gasification and carbon sequestration, it may never be possible to produce energy from coal without atmospheric carbon emissions.
Could it be that carbon sequestration like the hydrogen automobile is a red-herring to allow the fossil fuel industries to squeeze every last drop of profit from the Planet before being forced to stop? In the world of nine billion consumers to come, with the condition of the atmosphere in such tatters, the majority of the world's filthy coal reserves must be left in the ground as we transition exclusively to clean renewable energy alternatives.
Many herald the promise of converting woody biomass - primarily forest "waste" such as sawdust, forest thinning, and agriculture residues such as straw - into cellulosic ethanol as a source of biofuel. Cellulosic ethanol technology uses enzymes to break down the woody bits of plant cellulose. The fact that woody materials may provide for more energy than corn or soy based ethanol does not in itself justify large-scale establishment of such an industry. Just as hasty efforts to promote corn ethanol have lead to sharp price increases for corn worldwide, production of biofuel from forest and agricultural "waste" will have grave unintended consequences.
The world's forests have been hammered for millennia; and are barely able to continue providing ecosystem services of cycling of nutrients, energy and water while providing for traditional wood products. Removal of forest biomass and agricultural residues from natural ecosystems and human agro-ecosystems at the industrial scale envisioned will be yet one more massive drain upon the Earth's net primary productivity. The woody forest "waste" materials to be used; including forest slash, thinning, bark and sawdust are the nutrient materials that new forests depend upon.
Surely woody biomass requirements will be met by vast plantations of genetically modified fiber bearing plants and/or by encroaching into regenerating forests and land used to grow food. A large biofuel industry based upon ethanol from cellulose will lead to greater deforestation, forest diminishment and degradation of agricultural lands. Ancient forests will replaced to grow genetically modified crops in plantations, regenerating secondary forests will be logged into further decline, and land use will shift from food to fiber even as soils become more degraded. One must only look at oil palm in Asia, sugar cane and soya in Brazil and corn in the U.S. to see this is true. To presume that the massive energy needs of the world can be met by already overworked and still diminishing forest and agricultural ecosystems is true folly.
However, new results have just been published which seem to show that this methane gas was in fact somehow trapped within the plant matter, not being produced by the plants themselves and thus being no net generation of methane.

Is this the case? I thought just last year they staged a rather stroppy 'demonstration' at (i.e. completely disrupted) a big debate on nuclear energy, with the express intention of stopping even dialogue about it, let alone allowing more power stations to be built.even Greenpeace members are now seriously arguing in favour of nuclear power plants
"When I helped found Greenpeace in the 1970s, my colleagues and I were firmly opposed to nuclear energy. But times have changed. I now realize nuclear energy is the only non-greenhouse gas-emitting power source that can effectively replace fossil fuels and satisfy growing demand for energy."
===>Patrick Moore. An advisor to government and industry, Dr. Patrick Moore is a co-founder and former leader of Greenpeace, and chair and chief scientist of Greenspirit Strategies Ltd. in Vancouver, Canada. He and former Environmental Protection Agency administrator Christine Todd Whitman are co-chairs of the Clean and Safe Energy Coalition, which supports increased use of nuclear energy.
Patrick Moore is an amusing right-wing mentalist. However that doesn't stop him being right, IMO, about nuclear energy. I think it's our only hope for a worthwhile non-greenhouse-gas-emitting energy source in the near future.
Our kid told me that there isn't even enough land on the planet to grow the crops necessary to make bio-fuels a global, sustainable alternative to fossil fuels.it's very alarming how little critical discourse there is around biofuels, such is the desire for a magic bullet that requires no sacrifice or change in habits. suddenly we have great numbers of "environmentalists" arguing in favour of industrial scale, biotechnologized monoculture which will, in fact, do us in just as readily as carbon, given that we'll need as much plant diversity as we can hold onto if we hope to adapt to globally-warmed mutant ecosystems.
As SF-Capital futurists imagine the moon's estimated - but prohibitively irrecoverable - reserves of Helium-3 as the vital-ingredient, the fusion-powered nuclear saviour of the world's future energy needs, climatologists again enter the frey [as Catastrophy Theory supplants Chaos Theory] ...
Dr Hansen said we have about 10 years to put into effect the draconian measures needed to curb CO2 emissions quickly enough to avert a dangerous rise in global temperature. Otherwise, the extra heat could trigger the rapid melting of polar ice sheets, made far worse by the "albedo flip" - when the sunlight reflected by white ice is suddenly absorbed as ice melts to become the dark surface of open water.
The glaciers and ice sheets of Greenland in the northern hemisphere, and the western Antarctic ice sheet in the south, both show signs of the rapid changes predicted with rising temperatures. "
The albedo flip property of ice/water provides a trigger mechanism. If the trigger mechanism is engaged long enough, multiple dynamical feedbacks will cause ice sheet collapse," the scientists say. "We argue that the required persistence for this trigger mechanism is at most a century, probably less."
The Earth today stands in imminent peril
...and nothing short of a planetary rescue will save it from the environmental cataclysm of dangerous climate change. Those are not the words of eco-warriors but the considered opinion of a group of eminent scientists writing in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
By Steve Connor, Science Editor
Published: 19 June 2007
Six scientists from some of the leading scientific institutions in the United States have issued what amounts to an unambiguous warning to the world: civilisation itself is threatened by global warming.
They also implicitly criticise the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for underestimating the scale of sea-level rises this century as a result of melting glaciers and polar ice sheets.
Instead of sea levels rising by about 40 centimetres, as the IPCC predicts in one of its computer forecasts, the true rise might be as great as several metres by 2100. That is why, they say, planet Earth today is in "imminent peril".
In a densely referenced scientific paper published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, some of the world's leading climate researchers describe in detail why they believe that humanity can no longer afford to ignore the "gravest threat" of climate change.
"Recent greenhouse gas emissions place the Earth perilously close to dramatic climate change that could run out of control, with great dangers for humans and other creatures," the scientists say. Only intense efforts to curb man-made emissions of carbon dioxide emissions and other greenhouse gases can keep the climate within or near the range of the past one million years, they add.
The researchers were led by James Hansen, the director of Nasa's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, who was the first scientist to warn the US Congress about global warming.
The other scientists were Makiko Sato, Pushker Kharecha and Gary Russell, also of the Goddard Institute, David Lea of the University of California, Santa Barbara, and Mark Siddall of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University in New York.
In their 29-page paper, "Climate Change and trace gases", the scientists frequently stray from the non-emotional language of science to emphasise the scale of the problems and dangers posed by climate change.
In an email to The Independent, Dr Hansen said: "In my opinion, among our papers this one probably does the best job of making clear that the Earth is getting perilously close to climate changes that could run out of our control."
The unnatural "forcing" of the climate as a result of man-made emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases threatens to generate a "flip" in the climate that could "spark a cataclysm" in the massive ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland, the scientists write.
Dramatic flips in the climate have occurred in the past but none has happened since the development of complex human societies and civilisation, which are unlikely to survive the same sort of environmental changes if they occurred now.
"Civilisation developed, and constructed extensive infrastructure, during a period of unusual climate stability, the Holocene, now almost 12,000 years in duration. That period is about to end," the scientists warn. Humanity cannot afford to burn the Earth's remaining underground reserves of fossil fuel. "To do so would guarantee dramatic climate change, yielding a different planet from the one on which civilisation developed and for which extensive physical infrastructure has been built," they say.
Dr Hansen said we have about 10 years to put into effect the draconian measures needed to curb CO2 emissions quickly enough to avert a dangerous rise in global temperature. Otherwise, the extra heat could trigger the rapid melting of polar ice sheets, made far worse by the "albedo flip" - when the sunlight reflected by white ice is suddenly absorbed as ice melts to become the dark surface of open water.
The glaciers and ice sheets of Greenland in the northern hemisphere, and the western Antarctic ice sheet in the south, both show signs of the rapid changes predicted with rising temperatures. "
The albedo flip property of ice/water provides a trigger mechanism. If the trigger mechanism is engaged long enough, multiple dynamical feedbacks will cause ice sheet collapse," the scientists say. "We argue that the required persistence for this trigger mechanism is at most a century, probably less."
The latest assessment of the IPCC published earlier this year predicts little or no contribution to 21st century sea level from Greenland or Antarctica, but the six scientists dispute this interpretation. "The IPCC analyses and projections do not well account for the nonlinear physics of wet ice sheet disintegration, ice streams and eroding ice shelves, nor are they consistent with the palaeoclimate evidence we have presented for the absence of discernible lag between ice sheet forcing and sea-level rise," the scientists say.
Their study looked back over more than 400,000 years of climate records from deep ice cores and found evidence to suggest that rapid climate change over a period of centuries, or even decades, have in the past occurred once the world began to heat up and ice sheets started melting. It is not possible to assess the dangerous level of man-made greenhouse gases.
"However, it is much lower than has commonly been assumed. If we have not already passed the dangerous level, the energy infrastructure in place ensures that we will pass it within several decades," the scientists say in their findings.
"We conclude that a feasible strategy for planetary rescue almost surely requires a means of extracting [greenhouse gases] from the air."
Further evidence emerges from Ted Scambos, a glaciologist at the National Snow and Ice Center in Colorado, who claims that the absence of ice on the Arctic Ocean during summer months would be a major contributor to global warming. Published in the Geophysical Research Letters journal, Scambos and his co-authors drew on satellite data and visual evidence of Arctic ice to reach their conclusions, radically at variance to those that obtained from computer models used by the scientists of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change: The Arctic ice cap is melting much faster than expected and is now about 30 years ahead of predictions made by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a U.S. ice expert said Tuesday. This means the ocean at the top of the world could be free or nearly free of summer ice by 2020, three decades sooner than the global panel's gloomiest forecast of 2050.
The world's refugees: " I feel humiliated": Christian Aid predicts that by 2050 there will be 1 billion people around the world displaced by global warming, dwarfing the number of those now fleeing conflicts and persecution -- nearly 10 million refugees and almost 25 million internally displaced people.
"Even though there is almost no argument among scientific circles about the role of human activities as the main driver of climate change, a recent poll suggested that the public still believes there is significant scientific uncertainty. Despite the efforts of government and campaigns such as Live Earth to educate the public, the Ipsos Mori poll of over 2,031 people, released this month, found 56% of people thought there was an active scientific debate into the causes of global warming.
A spokesman for the Royal Society, the UK's leading scientific academy, said: "This is an important contribution to the scientific debate on climate change. At present there is a small minority which is seeking to deliberately confuse the public on the causes of climate change. They are often misrepresenting the science, when the reality is that the evidence is getting stronger every day. We have reached a point where a failure to take action to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions would be irresponsible and dangerous."
Channel 4 and Martin Durkin, producer of The Great Global Warming Swindle, declined to comment."

"Politically-Speaking, I Am Palestinian"
Juliano Mer Khamis is an Israeli actor and director. His father Saliba was a Palestinian, his mother Arna a Jew. At the beginning of the first Intifadah in 1987, she founded four homes for children in the Jenin refugee camp on the West Bank. In recognition of this project, in 1993 Arna was awarded the alternative Nobel Prize, the Right Livelihood Award, in Stockholm. She then used the award money to build the "Stone Theatre". After her death in 1995, Juliano Mer Khamis continued to direct his mother's theatre, which was destroyed during the second Intifadah in 2002. He then opened his own theatre, the "Freedom Theatre" in February 2006.
What led to the creation of the film "Arna's Children"?
Juliano Mer Khamis: During the 1990s, I shot amateur footage of my mother's "Care and Learning" project. This short film helped us collect donations and expand our archives. Later the producer Osnat Trabelsi and I decided to make a film about my mother's life. Unfortunately, on the same day in 1994 that I heard the New Israeli Film Fund would support the production, I was told that my mother only had a year to live. As a result, it became a film about her illness instead of about her activism.
Since I was caring for her at the time, I lost all objectivity and couldn't make the film. After talking with my former theatre students in 2001, I sensed that something disastrous was about to happen, especially to Yussef. I bought a camera and rushed out to the camp, but I missed Yussef. He was already on the way to a suicide attack in Israel.
In May 2002, you experienced the final days of fighting in the Jenin refugee camp. You lived for four months together with the Palestinian militias who used to be "Arna's children" and were now fighting Israeli soldiers. How dangerous was this for you?
Mer Khamis: The fighters didn't want to involve me in combat situations because they knew that I didn't want to carry a weapon. Nevertheless, I was afraid of finding myself together with them in an apartment suddenly surrounded by an Israeli special unit. What should I do in such a situation? Should I shout: 'I'm a Jew!' and come out with my hands up, leaving my friends behind to die? Should I take up arms and fight with them? What should I do?
What was your objective in making this film?
Mer Khamis: I wanted to challenge Israeli propaganda that demonizes and dehumanizes Palestinians. Since I knew that I had an unusual suicide attack story, I built my film around it. The questions that I try to answer in the film are why Yussef chose a suicide mission, why Ashraf joined the armed struggle, and why Majdi decided not to fight at all.
You've been a well-known actor in Israel for years. At the same time, as a political activist you are vehemently fighting to end the Israeli occupation. You recently said that you now refuse to work in Israel as an artist. Why are you completely taking sides with the Palestinians?
Mer Khamis: I've chosen the side of justice, not a nationality or religion. Politically-speaking, I am Palestinian. I'm fighting alongside the Palestinians, but only up to a certain point. I'm not exactly thrilled with the idea of founding a new state with additional police
and military. I'm not a good Jew who helps the poor Arabs. The Palestinian struggle for liberation is our struggle as Israelis. We share a common future.
As a Jewish Israeli, Zionism is my enemy as much as it is theirs. This conflict is fuelled by Zionist colonialism. We can only free ourselves by ending the occupation, on the West Bank as well as in Haifa and Nazareth.
Do you advocate a joint state for Jews and Arabs?
Mer Khamis: Yes, I support a bi-national state. The only alternative is the fascist apartheid system that is currently emerging. It is actually no longer possible to separate the two peoples, although the Israelis are doing everything in their power to achieve this through the fence and the wall.
The "Freedom Theatre" was opened in February. What do you hope to achieve?
Mer Khamis: The idea is to give these children a bit of life, a bit of normalcy, to give them a place where they can feel free. That's why it's called the "Freedom Theatre." In addition to feeling free of the occupation, they should feel liberated of their parents, religion, and daily social oppression. The children of the refugee camps only have violent contacts: with their parents, with the soldiers, and among each other. This society is oppressed, shut off, starved.
Given the circumstances, are people in the Jenin refugee interested in theatre?
Mer Khamis: Yes, very much so; they're very enthusiastic. Our main concern is not to create a theatre ensemble, although we would like that. They should not only feel free of the occupation, but also of their parents, religion, traditions, and the daily social oppression that has nothing to do with the occupation. All activities focus on healing the enormous human suffering that the Israelis have caused. The children have memory and concentration difficulties, and are motorically disabled.
11- and 12-year-olds still pee in their pants, others have problems abstracting, some stutter or can't make a complete sentence. This is a handicapped generation whose impairments first have to be diminished so that they can express themselves in some artistic form in the foreseeable future.
What similarities and differences exist between the "Stone Theatre" founded by your mother – the name refers to how Palestinian children threw stones at Israeli soldiers during the first Intifadah – and your Freedom Theatre?
Mer Khamis: We both see theatre primarily as a means of political struggle. By working on the stage, the children gain strength, become more self-confident, and learn. We hope that these children will have the strength to resist the Israeli occupation.
The main differences lie not in the actual theatres themselves but in their surroundings. Back in my mother's day and age, the discourse was more peaceful; religion hardly played a role. Today the theatre finds itself surrounded by a milieu that is religious, nationalistic, and violent. The Freedom Theatre is not only free of the occupation, but also of tradition, religion, and the patriarchal and social hierarchy that oppresses these children.
To what extent does the children's current situation in the Jenin refugee camp during the second Intifadah differ from the first Intifadah?
Mer Khamis: The children of the Stone Theatre were the heroes of the first Intifadah. They made headlines around the world and also played an economic role. Most fathers were arrested during the insurrection. So the children became the breadwinners,
running small shops or working at the market. But the children play no role in this armed Intifadah, neither as fighters nor economically because the Palestinian economy is collapsing.
As a result, they cannot help their families and have become a heavy burden. They have been reduced to punching bags and servants. A soldier hits the child, just like his father, his brother, his mother. Every day he is exposed to violence, stress, and poverty.
An Israeli critic wrote about your film: "When the tanks come, they are no longer Arna's children, but rather the children of Palestine." To what extent has hope died with the death of your mother in 1995?
Mer Khamis: Hope lives on in Jenin. Perhaps it was precisely Arna's death that brought it to life. Sometimes the dead are more powerful than the living. Zakaria Zubeidi (number one on Israel's most wanted list and commander of the local Jenin al-Aksa Martyrs Brigade, the armed wing of the Fatah Party, I.A.) who leads this movement is a product of this discourse, which has been left to us after Arna's death.
Otherwise we could not have created the Freedom Theatre. There is considerable resistance in the refugee camps to any cooperation with Israelis or Jews because Israel uses our project to show that cultural activities are possible there. They destroy all other institutions in Jenin, but don't touch our Freedom Theatre because Jews work there.
In late February, you inaugurated the Freedom Theatre. How well is this institution able to function?
Mer Khamis: We have two theatre groups that are starting psycho-drama courses, two groups a week. Every day we do one and a half hours of theatre work that we call the "theatre of the oppressed." We have a computer centre so the children can publish a newspaper and create a website. In January 2007, we will open the music room and a large library.
We are currently treating 200 children a week in rotating groups of 20. Those are the therapeutic aspects of the project. In addition, on 22 December a theatre hall with 180 seats will be inaugurated, where there will be regular performances for adults and children, and hopefully someday productions by the Freedom Theatre. We are also planning a small cinema.
And who works in this theatre in a sealed-off city on the West Bank?
Mer Khamis: The coaches all come from Jenin and the surrounding area – painters, artists, and computer experts. In January 2007, the first foreign volunteers will arrive, a director and a dancer. In Germany an initiative has been launched to send volunteers for art projects who do not require a working knowledge of Arabic. Later we may hire an interpreter. We have big dreams.

Solar power can head out of the clouds says CSIRO
It's always sunny somewhere, so smarter grids could make large-scale renewables viable
The old saw about solar power is that the sun isn't always shining – but in a country as large as Australia, good engineering and intelligent grids can go a long way to overcoming the challenge of intermittency, according to Australia's CSIRO.
The nearly 200-page report, Solar intermittency: Australia's clean energy challenge, notes that to date, most discussion of intermittency is "anecdotal, difficult to verify and limited to a particular technical, geographical or social context." Its 12-month study, supported by a grant from the government's Australian Solar Institute, was conducted in conjunction with the Australian Energy Market Operator and the Energy Networks Association.
CSIRO Energy Centre team leader Dr Glenn Platt says the problem isn't confined to the question of large-scale solar power generation. Localised interruptions are already visible to the grid as a result of Australia's strong uptake of rooftop PV, and the problem will grow as more systems are brought online.
Platt says that good weather forecasting at different timescales is important. Longer timescale forecasts (the normal forecasts a few days ahead) need to be supplemented with near-real-time forecasting to help mitigate short-term "flicker" from solar power, he said.
CSIRO says that with good solar forecasting tools, a grid designed to cope with localized interruptions, and with the right mitigation strategies, intermittency can be handled.
Interestingly, the study notes that power quality standards can have as much impact on the suitability of large-scale solar generation as the technology itself. Even the grid standards within Australia can vary so widely that "a breach of a restrictive standard in one region may be no worse than complying with a relaxed standard in another."
The report notes that intermittency is not specific to solar power: today's grid experiences intermittency both because of localized failures, and from changes in usage patterns. From the point of view of the grid, he told the ABC, solar power looks "exactly like air conditioners going on and off".
The research involved gathering data from Australia's major solar power research stations (The University of Queensland's 1.2 MW PV system, the CSIRO's 22 kW research installation in Newcastle, NSW, and the Desert Knowledge Australia Solar Centre at Alice Springs in the Northern Territory).
The study is described here (including a link to the full 198-page epic). ®

Advanced vulnerability shielding for endpoints
Today's enterprise endpoints face more sophisticated attacks than ever with the likes of ransomware and fileless malware, especially when they are outside the corporate network and no longer protected by multiple layers of security. In addition, Point-of-Sale (POS) devices or End of Support (EOS) operating systems are difficult or impossible to update and patch. To keep your business fully protected from breach or targeted attacks, all types of endpoints require a blended approach to protection that secures data and applications from hacking attempts, web threats, and the increasing threat of vulnerabilities being exploited remotely.

A high-performance engine monitors traffic for new specific vulnerabilities using hostbased intrusion prevention system (IPS) filters as well as zero-day attack monitoring. So you can detect network protocol deviations, or suspicious content that signals an attack, or security policy violations. Vulnerability Protection prevents these vulnerabilities from being exploited with easy and fast-to-deploy filters that provide full protection before patches can be deployed or are available. When used in conjunction with additional Trend Micro endpoint products, Vulnerability Protection provides the industry's broadest range of protection for endpoints, whether they are on the network, travelling, or remote.

Vulnerability Protection stops zero-day threats immediately on your physical and virtual desktops and laptops—on and off the network. Using host-level intrusion prevention system (IPS) filters, behavioral, statistical, heuristic and protocol enforcement technologies, Vulnerability Protection shields against vulnerabilities before a patch is available or deployable. This allows you to protect your critical platforms from both known and unknown threats including legacy operating systems such as Windows XP and new systems like Windows 10. To support a layered approach to security, Vulnerability Protection integrates with Trend Micro User Protection solutions to deliver multiple layers of interconnected threat and data protection.
Trend Micro Vulnerability Protection is very scalable with options for multiple servers to ensure endpoint deployment for even the largest of organizations. Vulnerability Protection integrates with other Trend Micro threat protection solutions to enhance the overall threat and malware protection of your endpoints.
Two components are required:

Trend Micro Vulnerability Protection is a critical component of our Smart Protection Suites, that deliver data protection like data loss prevention (DLP) and device control but also gateway, mobile device and endpoint threat protection with our XGen™ optimized capabilities like file reputation, machine learning, behavioural analysis, exploit protection, application control, intrusion prevention (vulnerability protection). Additional Trend Micro solutions extend your protection from advanced attacks with endpoint investigation and detection. Plus, Deep Discovery network sandboxing delivers rapid response (real-time signature updates) to endpoints when a new threat is detected locally, enabling faster time-to-protection and reducing the spread of malware. All of this modern threat security technology is made simple for your organization with central visibility, management, and reporting

China has a long way to go before coming anywhere near America's gold reserves.
Yet apparently it's on their to-do list and a must, at least according to the country's China Gold Association.
Commodity Online: In 1981, China had 395 tonnes of gold holdings; it increased to 500.8 tonnes in 2001, and 600 tonnes in 2002. In April 2009, China officially announced that it has increased its gold holdings to 1054 tonnes. Since then, Chinese officials and People's Bank of China have been meticulously chalking out plans to build up gold reserves in the next one decade.
According to Zhang of the China Gold Association (CGA), India's decision to buy IMF gold has been the real boost for China's recent spirited moves to step up gold reserves.
"In view of the declining US dollar value, it is paramount that China steps up gold reserves. How to do this is the only question that China is debating these days. The possible steps include opening up new gold mines, aggressively going for gold mining, buying gold from the open market etc. All said and done, it is imperative that China needs to buy more gold," Zhang points out.
Free Republic: "We recommend that China's gold reserve should reach 6000 tons in 3~5 years, and probably reach as high as 10,000 tons in 8~10 years," according to Ji Xiaonan on November 28 at the third Chinese Industry Stability Forum. He is the head of the supervisory committee at the state-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

Common products linked to cancer
Researchers have become more like C.S.I. detectives trying to identify new causes for breast cancer.
Suspect number one is tainted mascara. It contains a metal that fuels breast cancer. Instead go for natural mascara, as it offers the same beautifying effects as regular mascara, minus the poison.
Suspect number two is air fresheners. Most contain phthalates, this chemical helps strengthen the most hard to treat types of breast cancer. Instead use vodka. It has some of the same components as air fresheners without the toxins.
Number three is toilet deodorizers. Most have a solvent which has been linked to early puberty in girls, which is a huge breast cancer risk. To clean your toilet use distilled white vinegar instead.
Going natural is an easy way to avoid some of these risks. Some other switches are using lavender instead of mothballs, fresh or frozen foods over canned, and hemp or cotton instead of vinyl.

So with the help of my friends and then add in the friends they want to support we came up with Friends Paying It Forward.

A ridiculously pretty series of villages amid rolling hills.
Cotswolds, England
- Think of England and The Cotswolds may well spring to mind. This area of limestone hills is picture-postcard England at its most enchanting.
- Explore villages made of honey-coloured stone, sip pints in ancient pubs and see some of Britain's most beautifully preserved medieval churches. It's a favourite getaway for British celebrities so excellent food and luxury places to stay abound.
- England and Wales' largest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) straddles 6 counties: Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, south Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Wiltshire and Bath & northeast Somerset.
- Enjoy a picnic by the brook in Castle Combe, one of Britain's prettiest villages.
- Quaint stone cottages, a medieval church and plenty of places to shop or enjoy tea make this an enchanting place to explore.
- Cirencester is thought of as the capital of the Cotswolds. From London, it's a 1 hour 20 minute train journey. Oxford is also a convenient gateway to the area – you can get there from London in just 1 hour by train.

Bill Clinton is a master at campaigning, so it's no surprise the Democrats tapped him as the headliner Tuesday at a political rally on the U.C. Davis campus. But his appearance in Northern California, in front of students who were mostly aware of him from their parents' descriptions, has nothing to do with the race for the White House.
After all, there's no mystery how the state's presidential vote will turn out, once California voters head to the polls next month. No Republican standard-bearer has carried the state since 1988, when George H.W. Bush beat Michael Dukakis.
Instead, the real contest in Calilfornia has to do with who will control the House of Representatives next year.
U.S. & World
Newly-drawn boundary lines and California's new open primary system have injected some genuine uncertainty into a handful of House races. Instead of the predictable narrative in which the incumbent always wins, there's some drama.
Rep. Dan Lungren, R-Gold River, a longtime fixture in California politics, is facing a tight re-election contest in a rematch with Democrat Ami Bera. Rep. Jeff Denham, R-Atwater, is also facing a strong challenge from former astronaut Jose Hernandez.
There is a threat to Democrats as well. Rep. Jerry McNerney (D-Stockton) has a strong opponent in Republican Ricky Gill. And Rep. John Garamendi, D-Walnut Creek, is facing Republican Kim Vann.
All of these races are filling the air waves, with heavy spending by the national parties and Super PACs.
Enter Bill Clinton.
Nationwide, if the Democrats win 25 seats, they can retake control of the House. That's why the nation's 42nd president took the stage at U.C. Davis on Tuesday, speaking for nearly a half hour to a receptive crowd. McNerney, Garamendi, Hernandez and Bera are all hoping to benefit from Clinton's talent in the political hothouse of these final campaign weeks.
Clinton, as is his habit, focused on policy, addressing the cost of MediCare and denouncing the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, which has unleashed enormous amount of super PAC spending this year. He also spoke in favor of Prop 30, Gov. Jerry Brown's school tax measure.
Clinton is no stranger to Northern California. When he was president, Air Force One touched down so frequently at McClellan Air Force Base that it become unofficially known as the West Coast hangar for the jet. And once daughter Chelsea enrolled at Stanford, the presidential visits became even more frequent.
Clinton's appearance at Davis reflects his star power in the Democratic Party.
Fresh off a prime speech at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, he's working a California-specific concern: the fate of a handful of seats that could be pivotal in who controls the House in 2013.
After all, Clinton remembers well what it was like to deal with an opposition-led House during his White House years.

Ellen is the BEST I know when it comes to teaching people how to create their very own ebooks (and she does it in just 72 hours or less!)

In this one-hour teleseminar, she will show you the most common mistakes people make that keep them from being one of the successful ones, how to avoid them and be successful.
During the class, Ellen will also make a very special offer that will ONLY be good on Thursday, November 6th (the day of the class), so I strongly suggest you to get on the call live on the November 6th!

SKF OK Couplings
Slash connection times for shafts and flanges
An SKF OK Coupling does not require a keyway in the shaft or hub to transfer the torques. This is a major savings and helps avoid shaft stress raisers. They incorporate a thin tapered inner sleeve, designed to fit over the shaft, and a thick outer sleeve, with a taper matching that on the inner sleeve. Oil is injected at high pressure between the mating surfaces and the outer sleeve is driven up the inner sleeve with an integral hydraulic jack. Once correctly positioned, oil pressure is released and the resulting powerful interference fit enables high torques to be transmitted.
- Easy, safe and quick to install
- Keyless
- Increased equipment performance
- Extended service life
- Reduced maintenance costs
- Reduced Mean Time to Repair (MTTR)

Share the wealth: Even temporary grandkids need love
Hi, Carolyn!
Over the years, I've read numerous complaints about grandparents who showed favoritism to some grandkids based on gender, adoption or step situations. Each time, I've been outraged that adults could be so unfair to innocent children.
But I'm finding the situation isn't so easily resolved when you're in the middle of it. My husband and I became grandparents a year ago. We were beyond thrilled! We don't have a lot of money, but we cut some corners to buy cute gifts on the appropriate occasions.
Now ... my stepson has started dating a woman with two young children. The 26-year-old, college-dropout stepson has made having a family his No. 1 goal in life (maybe to make up for his parents' divorce?). He actually searched dating sites for women with children.
He's now moving in with this woman, who only a month ago agreed to be publicly identified as his girlfriend. (This is only his second relationship. The first one lasted just months.)
Anyway ... with the holidays coming up, I don't know what to do. Do we spend an equal amount on these other two kids? I don't want to be a jerk to these two little girls, but I also don't want to keep diverting money from our granddaughter to a string of kids we might not see again. Am I being a total jerk? I just want to be a ...
– Good Grandma
Being a good grandma is about the kids, not you. Your first paragraph says you already know this.
That means any gifts you give to family members are investments in them as people, vs. investments in your relationship with them. It's "I want the best for you" vs. "I want the best out of you" – a fine distinction, but an important one.
When you look at these two little girls that way, then you'll see that their tenuous status in your family has no bearing on the way you divvy up the gifts. These are children innocent of their parents' ... whatevers, which I'll get to in a second. What they need – possibly even more than your granddaughter does – is an environment where they're valued just for being, without contingencies such as "gender, adoption or step situations." So they get a third of your gift allotment, a third of your hugs, a third of your attention, and all of your heart.
Should the parents' relationship crash and the girls abruptly exit your lives, then you will remain the nice lady who gave them the gift of acceptance without regard for their relative value to her. Too young to grasp that is not too young to feel its light.
I could even argue that my "fine distinction" is a trick one, too; in embracing these girls as family for as long (or as briefly) as they are, it's hard to see how you wouldn't also be getting the best out of your relationship with them. And out of yourself.
To that end: It's clear this couple's choices are messy and invite failure, but just as clear is your contempt for the people making them. Please take a step back, see your stepson and his girlfriend as people trying to make something whole out of something broken, and bring all the compassion you've got.

Life-size Portal gun to shoot onto shelves soon
Hole in the wall
Despite the fact they generally sit on the mantlepiece as a decorative reminder of where one's interest lies, replica weapons are a big business and gaming enthusiasts are an eager audience to target.
Fans of Valve's Portal franchise are the latest group in sight. They're being pitched with this 1:1 scale model from the series.
The Aperture Science Handheld Portal gun, from popular Japanese replica manufacturer Neca, won't open holes through your walls, floors and ceilings, but it'll still be a blast to own one.
It even glows blue and orange depending on which space-hopping door you choose to imagine yourself creating.
The Portal gun can be yours for ¥16,000 (£131). The company started taking advance orders this week.
That may seem a lot for a weapon that would struggle to cause any kind of damage, but you can bet your bottom dollar that it could be used to startle any burglars into leaving a rather smelly DNA depositary behind as they dash for the window in which they entered.
Or maybe not.
The Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device starts shipping in April. Holy moley. ®

However, he went to Mexico for stem cell treatment prior to the transplant. I think the guys name was Rader. He charged 30k$ for a one session shot. Jerry, my cousin, still doesn't get that this was a sham. I am careful no to deliberate on this. Just my experiience with Mexico. This is hoping that your treatment will spell out the success for all to see.

A long-time wrestling fan growing up in North Carolina, Jeff made his debut in 1994, in North Carolina independents. Wrestling as the Willow the Wisp, Hardy wrestled his brother Matt (as Voltage) in Robbins, NC, on March 25, 1995 and won the NFWA Championship, only to lose it back to Matt a month later.
Jeff and Matt started their own wrestling organization called OMEGA, a North Carolina promotion that could also boast future WWE stars such as Shane Helms (aka the Hurricane), Shannon Moore and Joey Matthews (now known as Mercury). As the Willow, Jeff defeated Jason Ahmdt (later Joey Abs) on August 2, 1997 to become the first OMEGA New Frontier Champion.
But Jeff wasn't content to stay within the safety of OMEGA, the Willow would win the NEW Junior title, the NDW Light Heavyweight title and even traveled to Iwate, Japan in June 1998, defeating Ikuto Hidaka for the UWA Middleweight Championship.
However, Jeff and Matt didn't remain apart for too long. The Hardy Boyz defeated C.W. and Pat Anderson for the NWA 2000 Tag Team titles on March 7, 1998 in Hope Mills, N.C. and then, on July 24, 1998 returned to OMEGA to defeat Mike Maverick and Kid Vicious and capture the OMEGA Tag titles.
That summer, Matt and Jeff were invited to participate in the WWE's "Funkin' Dojo" and trained under the tutelage of Dory Funk, Jr.
On September 27, 1998, they debuted on Sunday Night Heat, defeating Mens Teioh and Sho Funaki. They would spend the next several months wrestling in dark matches before taking on Freebird legend Michael P.S. Hayes as their manager.
Jeff would take some time off from the WWE to compete in ECWAS's 3rd Annual Super Eight tournament in February 1999, losing in the first round to Devon Storm and, in May, lost to Super Crazy in the first round of the IWA Junior Heavyweight title tournament.
Jeff returned to WWE and teamed with his brother, Matt. After working their way through the tag team rankings, Hayes led the Hardys to a victory over the Acolytes (Bradshaw and Farooq) on June 29, 1999 to win the WWE Tag Team titles. The Acolytes regained the titles at Fully Loaded and soon after, the Hardys left Hayes behind, aligning themselves with
with Gangrel to form the New Brood.
The Hardys feuded with Gangrel's former charges, Edge and Christian. Gangrel was soon a thing of the past but the series of excellent matches between the Hardys and Edge/Christian continued. One of their best matches came at October's No Mercy when the Hardys defeated Edge and Christian in a ladder match to win the Terri (Runnels) Invitational Tournament.
While continuing to battle in WWE, Matt and Jeff headed to Puerto Rico's IWA where on December 15th, they defeated Ricky Banderas and Ricky Santana.
Back in the WWE,a three-way feud between the Hardys, the Dudley Boys and Edge/Christian erupted in an attempt to determine the dominant team in WWE. The Hardys came out on top in a tables match at the 2000 Royal Rumble but weren't as successful at No Way Out, losing to Edge and Christian when Terri turned on them. The three teams met in a ladder match at Wrestlemania 2000 for the WWE Tag Team Championship, won by Edge and Christian.
After coming to the aid of the newest member of Team Extreme, Lita, the Hardys clashed with the team of Test and Albert, managed by Trish Stratus.
Meanwhile, the battles against the Dudleys and Edge and Christian continued. Edge and Christian won their TLC match at SummerSlam (the Dudleys were the third team) but the Hardys regained the WWE Tag titles in a cage match at Unforgiven 2000. Edge and Christian would resort to dressing as Los Conquistadors to regain the titles at No Mercy but the next night on Raw, Matt and Jeff would don the masks of Los Conquistadors and bring home the gold once again, only to lose the belts two weeks later to Bull Buchanan and the Goodfather.
The Hardys regained the title from the Dudleys on March 5, 2001 but lost a TLC match to Edge/Christian (a match also involving the Dudleys) at Wrestlemania X-7.
In addition to continuing to team with his brother, Matt, Jeff would begin competing in singles competition and wasted little time in adding many titles to his resume. On April 10th, Hardy defeated Triple H to win the Intercontinental Championship. He defeated Jerry Lynn to win the WWE Light Heavyweight Championship on June 5th, 2001. On July 10, 2001, he defeated Mike Awesome to win the Hardcore Championship. Rob Van Dam would defeat Hardy for the Hardcore title during the July Invasion pay-per-view, but Jeff interfered in a RVD/Kurt Angle match on August 13, 2001 to regain the title, only to lose it back to Van Dam at SummerSlam.
But Jeff would return to the tag team ranks with brother Matt and in the course of just over a month would defeat Booker T and Test to win two different tag titles. On October 8th, the Hardys won the WCW Tag Team titles, and then on November 12, they won the WWE Tag titles.
Near the end of 2001, dissension arose in the ranks of the Hardys and, at the Vengeance pay-per-view, Jeff defeated Matt in a bout in which Lita served as the special referee. However, the bitterness between brothers was soon forgotten.
After teaming again with his brother Matt, Jeff began to strike out on his own (again), but made the mistake of angering the Undertaker who vowed revenge and, for the most part, had his way with Jeff. But Jeff earned a great deal of respect by nearly defeating 'Taker in a ladder match for the WWE Championship on the July 1st edition of Raw.
Undaunted, a week later Jeff defeated William Regal and captured the European Championship. On July 22nd, Hardy lost a title unification match to Intercontinental Championship Rob Van Dam. A week later, a brief reign as Hardcore Champion began with a victory over Bradshaw and ended at the hands of Johnny the Bull.
Jeff Hardy continued to compete in WWE for the remainder of 2002 and the beginning of 2003. He began to tease a heel turn after losing to Rob Van Dam and Booker T but that never went anywhere and in early 2003, he was linked with Trish Stratus in WWE storylines. However, on April 22, 2003, the WWE released him. At the time, Hardy said he was more interested in a career in music. However, Jeff would work several dates on the independent scene, including a return to OMEGA and an appearance for Ring of Honor, over the next year, until signing with TNA during the summer of 2004.
With a contract that included a promised World Title shot, Jeff Hardy didn't waste time earning the attention of Jeff Jarrett, who, along with Monty Brown, attacked Hardy on his first official night in TNA. Besides brawling with Jarrett and Brown, Hardy began teaming with A.J. Styles and Ron Killings before finally getting his title shot against Jarrett in September 2004.
Jarrett retained the title but Hardy rebounded to win a #1 contender tournament and faced off with Jarrett, once again, at Victory Road, only to have his chances at victory spoiled by the interference of Kevin Nash and Scott Hall. Hardy would team with Styles and Randy Savage against Jarrett, Hall and Nash at Turning Point.
After defeating Hall at Final Resolution, Hardy found himself under attack from Abyss. After further attacks from Abyss, Hardy took on (but lost to) Abyss in a #1 contender's match at Against All Odds but got the win at Destination X. The feud with Abyss widened to include Raven and the two men met in a Tables Cage Match at TNA Lockdown.
Hardy was to have met Raven at Hard Justice but could not make the show due to transportation problems. Hardy was suspended from TNA over the incident but returned to attack Jeff Jarrett during the main event at Sacrifice and lost to Bobby Roode at Unbreakable.
Hardy found himself battling Rhino, Sabu and Abyss in a Monster's Ball match at Bound for Glory. Hardy lost that match but still impressed TNA officials enough to be pitted against Monty Brown in a contender's match at Genesis.
Hardy lost to Brown, and his problems were just beginning. He no-showed the Turning Point pay-per-view, claiming to have overslept.
Hardy would make appearances at TNA's UWF house shows in April and May before disappearing again. This time he would reappear in WWE. Although he is expected to reform the Hardy Boyz tag team with brother Matt, so far Jeff has remained on Raw, taking on Edge and Johnny Nitro.
Hardy would defeat Nitro for the Intercontinental Championship, successfully defend it for five weeks before losing it to Nitro, and then win it back from the same a week later.
The Hardy Boyz would reunite soon afterward on ECW and begin a feud with MNM (Johnny Nitro and Joey Mercury with Melina). Jeff would focus again on singles action after a mishap at Armageddon at which a missed ladder spot shattered Mercury�s face. About two months after that accident, Umaga would beat Hardy for the Intercontinental title. He�d continue occasionally wrestling alongside his brother Matt, but participate as a singles competitor at WrestleMania 23 in an eight-man Money in the Bank ladder match won by Mr. Kennedy.
The following night on RAW, however, the Hardy Boyz would win the World Tag Team belts in a 10-team battle royal. They�d feud with The World�s Greatest Tag Team (Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas), and Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch. The latter eventually beat the Boyz for the belts.
The Hardy Boyz would once more lose to Cade and Murdoch at Vengeance and Jeff would return to singles again. He�d lose to Umaga at Great American Bash and shortly thereafter found himself suspended for violating the WWE�s wellness policy. That month-long suspension, however, didn�t seem to hurt his standing as soon after his return, he would defeat Umaga to recapture the Intercontinental belt.
For whatever reason, Jeff would get thrown into six-man tag matches. At No Mercy, Jeff, Brian Kendrick and Paul London lost to Mr. Kennedy, Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch.
As a singles competitor, Hardy's rise continued in October, with his initial encounters against the reigning WWE champion Randy Orton. His inclusion on Triple H's victorious team at the Survivor Series gave him some excellent rub, as did a short-lived feud with Triple H that culminated with a win at Armageddon, earning Hardy another shot at Orton at the Royal Rumble.
Going in to the Royal Rumble, Hardy was hugely over with the fans, and many pundits seriously believed that the Intercontinental champion could dethrone Orton for a short world title run. However, it was not to be, as Orton retained his belt with an RKO.
The run had elevated Hardy to the top rung of WWE superstars on Raw, particularly on the babyface side. He was unsuccessful in the Elimination Chamber match at No Way Out (won by Triple H) to earn a title shot at WrestleMania 24 but seemed poised to get back into the main event picture with a likely Money in the Bank win at 'Mania.
But on March 11, 2008, WWE announced that Hardy had been suspended for a second time for violations of the company's drug policy, and was sent home for 60 days. As if that weren't enough, a few days later his reportedly uninsured home in Cameron, North Carolina burned to the ground, taking his beloved pet dog with it.
"I lost my championship, my house, my dog and a chance to be in WrestleMania. And it all kind of happened in the same week.," he told the Ottawa Sun's Tim Baines.
Hardy returned around mid-May to start a feud with Umaga. He beat him on Raw and again at One Night Stand, the latter with a death-defying Swanton-bomb.
He was drafted to SmackDown in late June and engaged in a brief feud with Montel Vontavious Porter, before going after the WWE title. Triple H retained his belt, winning the Championship Scramble (in which Hardy was a participant) at Unforgiven, and beating Hardy one-on-one at No Mercy and Cyber Sunday.
Becoming "more extreme," Hardy would score wins over Undertaker and Triple H but be taken out of the championship picture by a mystery assailant just before Survivor Series. He'd get another shot, this time at Armageddon, and he'd make good on his chance, beating Edge, (who won the belt at Survivor Series), and Triple H in a three-way contest to earn his first WWE Championship.
A series of "accidents" would haunt Hardy, first when he and his fiancee Beth were apparently involved in a hit-and-run car crash, and later when his pyro exploded in his face. Hardy blamed Edge for these occurrences, and they'd meet at Royal Rumble. The fans were totally swerved when Jeff's brother Matt came down, seemingly to help Jeff, only to turn on him and crunch him with a chair shot, giving Edge the win and his title back.
Matt would go on to complain about living in Jeff's shadow, and disowned him while hinting that he had been behind all of Jeff's misfortunes. Jeff, who had refused to fight his brother, now agreed to face him in the ring. But Matt would get the upper hand on his brother, defeating him in an Extreme Rules match at WrestleMania 25. Matt beat Jeff again, this time in a Stretcher match on SmackDown. The feud continued, as Jeff interfered in a match between Matt and CM Punk on Raw. But Matt, who was now drafted to Raw, was able to scurry off before Jeff was able to hit his Swanton.
Matt got a third consecutive win over Jeff when he pinned him in a tag match, also on TV. Jeff finally took his brother down at Backlash, defeating him in an "I Quit" match. But Matt wouldn't let it end like that, and interfered in Jeff's World Heavyweight title match against Edge at Judgment Day, which helped allow Edge to retain the belt. Jeff got a title rematch, and earned the right to name the stipulations of the match after beating Edge on SmackDown. At Extreme Rules, Jeff captured the World Heavyweight title in a ladder match. He wouldn't hold onto it for long, though, as Punk cashed in his Money in the Bank contract, and pinned Jeff after hitting two Go To Sleep finishers.
