Extreme Pacific sea level events to double in future Manoa HI (SPX) Oct 02, 2015 - Many tropical Pacific island nations are struggling to adapt to gradual sea level rise stemming from warming oceans and melting ice caps. Now they may also see much more frequent extreme interannual sea level swings. The culprit is a projected behavioral change of the El Nino phenomenon and its characteristic Pacific wind response, according to recent computer modeling experiments and tide-gauge ... more

NYC risks future flooding during hurricanes University Park PA (SPX) Oct 02, 2015 - Whether or not a coastal city floods during a hurricane depends on the storm, tide and sea level, and now a team of climate scientists show that the risk of New York City flooding has increased dramatically during the industrial era as a result of human-caused climate change. "We wanted to look at the impact of climate change on sea level and storm characteristics to see how that has affec ... more

Root microbiome engineering improves plant growth Washington DC (SPX) Oct 02, 2015 - Humans have been breeding crops until they're bigger and more nutritious since the early days of agriculture, but genetic manipulation isn't the only way to give plants a boost. In a review paper published in Trends in Microbiology, two integrative biologists present how it is possible to engineer the plant soil microbiome to improve plant growth, even if the plants are genetically identic ... more

Ice samples from Greenland and Russia provide clues to climate Birmingham, UK (SPX) Oct 02, 2015 - Scientists at the University of Birmingham have discovered evidence of carbonaceous aerosols - organic dust - transported from Asia and deposited in the Arctic over the last 450 years, according to research published in the journal Nature Scientific Reports. They have also found that increased levels of dust were being deposited during warmer periods when the Arctic Oscillation - changes i ... more

Warmer temperatures stimulate diversity of soil fungi London, UK (SPX) Oct 02, 2015 - Remote and covered by ice for much of the year the Antarctic Peninsula is home to hidden and dynamic communities of microbes that have an important role to play in the fragile ecosystems in which they are found. Writing in the journal Nature Climate Change this week, a team of scientists report how they have found a direct relationship between temperature and the diversity of Antarctic soil fung ... more

Plants with jobs Toronto, Canada (SPX) Oct 02, 2015 - Two University of Toronto Scarborough scientists have developed a new research framework for the agricultural sector that offers evidence-based understanding of the relationship between short-term yields, long-term sustainability and biodiversity.

2-million-year-old fossils reveal hearing abilities of early humans Binghamton NY (SPX) Oct 02, 2015 - Research into human fossils dating back to approximately two million years ago reveals that the hearing pattern resembles chimpanzees, but with some slight differences in the direction of humans. Rolf Quam, assistant professor of anthropology at Binghamton University, led an international research team in reconstructing an aspect of sensory perception in several fossil hominin individuals ... more

Africa could be the answer to delaying peak grain Lincoln NB (SPX) Oct 01, 2015 - Agricultural yields could more than triple in a number of African countries, suggesting that tremendous improvements in food security are possible, according to new findings by the Global Yield Gap and Water Productivity Atlas. Developed by a research team at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in collaboration with Wageningen University in the Netherlands, the atlas estimates the differenc ... more

Tourists replace rebels as Sri Lanka national park blooms Yala, Sri Lanka (AFP) Oct 1, 2015 - Lokaiya Peremadasa shudders as he recalls the havoc Tamil rebels used to wreak on his beloved wildlife park during Sri Lanka's brutal 37-year-long civil war. "They would come down and shoot the animals," the guide told AFP, his jeep bouncing around on the bumpy dirt tracks of Yala National Park in the island's south. The 48-year-old tells how he even came under fire himself, while wildli ... more

Plastic-eating worms to ease pollution problems Palo Alto, Calif. (UPI) Sep 30, 2015 - Can worms eat a way out of our plastic pollution problems? Probably not all on their own, but new research suggests they can help. A new study out of Stanford University proves mealworms can subsist entirely on a diet of Styrofoam and other types of polystyrene, the most common form of plastic. In lab experiments, 100 mealworms were able to put away 34 to 39 milligrams of Styrofo ... more

Chinese court charges 10 mired in OSI meat scandal Beijing (AFP) Oct 1, 2015 - Chinese authorities have charged 10 people over "selling inferior products" in the wake of a food scandal that erupted last year at a unit of US food supplier OSI Group, which saw expired meat sold to global fast food chains. A Chinese court charged the defendants connected to OSI food-processing companies in Shanghai and Hebei Province "on suspicions of producing, selling inferior products ... more

US tightens smog standards, environmentalists cry foul Washington (AFP) Oct 1, 2015 - The United States on Thursday tightened its standards on smog - also known as ground-level ozone - but environmental groups said the anti-pollution measures don't go far enough to protect people's health. The Environmental Protection Agency strengthened national air quality standards for ground-level ozone to 70 parts per billion (ppb), down from its previous level of 75 ppb. "Put simp ... more

Hurricane Joaquin strengthens, now 'extremely dangerous' Miami (AFP) Oct 1, 2015 - Joaquin strengthened into an extremely dangerous Category Four hurricane Thursday as it barreled through the Bahamas, forecasters said, while the US East Coast prepared for a weekend of heavy rainfall. The storm was packing maximum sustained winds of 130 miles (210 kilometers) per hour and could grow even stronger over the next 24 hours, the National Hurricane Center said. It will move n ... more

World headed for too-high 2.7 Celsius warming: experts Paris (AFP) Oct 1, 2015 - Earth could warm 2.7 degrees Celsius this century, warned a review Thursday which judged national carbon-cutting pledges insufficient to stave off worst-case-scenario predictions for climate change. The goal of limiting overall planet warming to 2.0 C (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) from pre-industrial levels is still out of reach, the Climate Action Tracker (CAT) analysis found - though there are ... more

15 EU nations opt to stay GMO-free Brussels (AFP) Oct 1, 2015 - Fifteen of the 28 EU member nations are seeking to keep genetically modified organisms out of all or part of their territory, as the deadline for opting out of new European legislation on GMO crops nears, the bloc's executive arm said Thursday.

Russia hits CIA-backed rebels; Tide shifts to Afghans in Kunduz; Kendall warns about defense mergers; Bombings in China; and a bit more...

October 2, 2015

U.S.-Russian military talks begin. In an hourlong videoconference, Pentagon and Russian defense officials talked about ways their militaries could better keep their warplanes in Syria out of each other's way. "There was discussion about ensuring that military personnel operating inside of Syria are communicating on internationally recognized channels and all of this is an effort to deconflict our ongoing operations there," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said. The call was "cordial and professional," Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook said. "The U.S. provided an initial proposal to enhance safety, prevent miscalculation and avoid actions, activities and operations that could escalate tensions," Cook said. "The Russians outlined some of their own ideas. Both sides agreed to consider the proposals and provide feedback in the coming days." Who led the call at the Pentagon? Elissa Slotkin, acting assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs. More from Defense One here. Top U.S. officials continue to say that Russia is not striking Islamic State militants and there have been widespread reports that they are bombing anti-government rebels. "After two days of attacks directed exclusively against insurgents opposed to the Syrian government, there is little question that Russia is determined to re-establish President Bashar al-Assad as Syria's leader," The New York Times reports. Defense One's New eBook Has Arrived! Read "Harnessing Big Data to Protect the Nation." Get it Now.   How long does Russia plan to conduct these strikes? Three to four months, according to Alexei Pushkov, the head of the foreign affairs committee in Russia's lower house of parliament, the Wall Street Journal reports. "There is always a risk of being bogged down, but in Moscow, we are talking about an operation of three to four months," Mr. Pushkov told French radio Europe 1, adding that the intensity of the strikes was important. More here. Iranian soldiers enter Syria. "Hundreds of Iranian troops have arrived in Syria to join a major ground offensive in support of President Bashar al-Assad's government, Lebanese sources said on Thursday, a sign the civil war is turning still more regional and global in scope," Reuters reports. Warren played down Iran's involvement in the conflict Thursday. "The Iranians have been here in Iraq fighting ISIL for more than a year," he said.

Europe needs Putin. "After more than a year of seeking to isolate Russian President Vladimir Putin, European leaders are finding they need his cooperation to solve the continent's most pressing crises," WSJ writes. "From the conflict in Ukraine to a refugee crisis that threatens to worsen as Moscow conducts airstrikes in Syria, the mercurial Russian leader has become unavoidable in efforts to address the turmoil that is jeopardizing Europe's enclave of security." More here.

Kunduz is still contested. Many Taliban fighters have retreated to the outskirts of the northern Afghanistan city claimed by the militant group earlier this week. "On Thursday afternoon, the Taliban took back the main square and raised their flag there once again," the BBC reports. But since then, "Afghan troops recaptured the center of the strategic" city and "had removed the Taliban flag from the central square, replacing it with government colors," Reuters reports. "There are military helicopters in the sky and government forces everywhere," said Abdul Ahad, a doctor in the city told Reuters. "Dead Taliban are on the streets, but there are still [militants] in some government buildings fighting Afghan forces." Going door-to-door: Afghan soldiers were searching houses throughout the city where Taliban fighters are believed to be hiding. More here. The Taliban's siege of Kunduz reflects its rule over Afghanistan, the New York Times reports. "A range of interviews with residents and officials illuminated how the past four days of Taliban rule in Kunduz carried frightening echoes of some of its harshest abuses from the 1990s. Even as the group's public announcements were offering assurances of safety for civilians and edicts against looting and executions, almost entirely the opposite was actually happening." More here.

The House passed the fiscal 2016 defense authorization bill Thursday 270-156. That's not enough votes to override a veto, if Obama chooses to say no for the first time in seven years. In a statement that reads something like a dare, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, said, "The world is getting more dangerous by the day, our allies believe we are missing-in-action, and our enemies are gaining ground across the globe.  The only redline the President is willing to enforce is vetoing the bill that pays our troops. Is that the legacy he really seeks?"

Meet the man reinventing CIA for the Big Data era. In an exclusive interview, the agency's new director of digital innovation talks about the new Directorate for Digital Innovation — the first directorate the agency has added since 1963. Andrew Hallman "sees the new directorate solving three big problems for CIA. The first is helping agents and operatives hone their hacking and sleuthing skills." Read the rest, by Technology Editor Patrick Tucker.

Getting the message out. Army Col. Steve Warren was sent to Iraq last month, after having run the Pentagon's top media office, to help better explain anti-ISIS operations and related matters. On Thursday, Warren offered one of the most detailed assessments of the situation given by a Pentagon official since the U.S. reentered Iraq last year. Defense One reports, here.

DoD's current infosec strategy is "patch and pray." But DARPA Director Arati Prabhakar says that her agency is working to make computing "mathematically, provably secure." Prabhakar, who heads the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency, said Wednesday, "We're under constant attack, as is pretty much all of the Defense Department. How we all deal with it today is...finding vulnerabilities and patching as quickly...as we can." NextGov's Mohindra Ravindranath has the story.

Too much intel sharing still happens at the speed of red tape. A new survey finds that bureaucratic delays reduce the value of data exchanged by industry and agencies. "About 57 percent of federal IT employees and 70 percent of state and local personnel say intelligence shared through a government exchange is only somewhat effective or not effective," NextGov'sAliya Sternstein reports.

11 die in plane crash at J-Bad. A U.S. Air Force C-130J cargo plane crashed just after midnight local time at Jalalabad Airfield in Eastern Afghanistan, not far from the Pakistan border. Six Air Force crew and five civilian contractors were killed. The airmen were assigned to the 774th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron, part of the 455th Air Expeditionary Wing at Bagram Airfield, the main Air Force base in Afghanistan. The Taliban claims to have shot down the plane, "but the group is prone to exaggeration," the Associated Press reports, citing an anonymous U.S. official "who said there was no indication of hostile fire." An Air Force spokesman also dismissed the claim. More here.

Army vet injured while charging Oregon-college shooter. Chris Mintz was shot at least five times and suffered two broken legs as he attempted to stop the gunman who killed 10 at Oregon's Umpqua Community College. The North Carolina native is expected to recover. "Mintz spent most of Thursday in surgery after receiving seven gunshots during the attack. Family members said Mintz was able to talk to loved ones before going into surgery. He told them that he heard gunshots in another classroom and tried to keep the gunman from entering his classroom," North Carolina's Fox 8 reports. More from The Daily Beast here.

Navy may move Norfolk ships in hurricane's path. The Navy might move its aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships from piers in Norfolk, Va., so they are not damaged by powerful Hurricane Joaquin, which is expected to make its way north over the weekend. "Several ships were on their way out of Norfolk as of Thursday afternoon, according to a Fleet Forces release," Navy Times reports. More here.

DepSec touts new Navy sub program. U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary Bob Work will back the Navy's expensive project to replace its nuclear-missile carrying Ohio-class SSBN submarines, according to an advance copy of a speech he will give tonight at a commemoration dinner to honor the 60th Anniversary of Strategic Systems Programs. "The Department of Defense is absolutely committed to maintaining the Fleet's strategic weapon system in the Ohio replacement program," Work is expected to say. "That program is going to be a heavy lift in today's budgetary environment, but we're going to make it happen, because the security of our nation depends on a survivable and reliable second-strike capability that only our SSBNs provide."  Work's speech will be livestreamed here.

McCain vents on late, overcost aircraft carrier. Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain, R-Ariz., chastised Pentagon officials overseeing the Navy's Gerald Ford aircraft carrier project, which is at least a staggering $4.7 billion over budget, calling it "one of the most spectacular acquisition debacles in recent memory." More here and here.

Ukraine might pull small weapons from east. "Ukrainian Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak said on Thursday that Kiev will pull out all small-caliber weapons on Saturday if the ongoing cease-fire holds. A February deal calling for a pullback of large-caliber artillery has been largely observed," the Associated Press reports. More here. Russian state TV ditches Ukraine coverage for Syria: "They lack the emotional urgency of the Ukraine broadcasts, but the same correspondents who filed dispatches from the battlefields of east Ukraine are now in Damascus; the same presenters who wrung their hands over Kiev's conduct are now talking up the threat of the Islamic State," The Guardian reports. More here.

Norway's military chief calls for defense spending hike. Oslo needs to boost its defense budget by more than $21 billion over the next two decades to keep pace with Russia's military build, Adm. Haakon Bruun-Hanssen, said Thursday. "This uncertainty makes it even more important to signal that we are willing and prepared to defend Norway and Norwegian territory if necessary," Bruun-Hanssen told Reuters. The country's defense budget this year about $5.2 billion. More here.

Defense industry lobby: Judge firms on performance, not size. The head of the Aerospace Industries Association pushed back against Pentagon acquisition chief Frank Kendall's comments that company mergers are reducing arms suppliers and competition. "The size of the prime contractor shouldn't matter in any case, as most of the work flows into the supply chain through subcontracts," AIA CEO and President David Melcher said in a statement. Melcher: It's no surprise that defense firms are consolidating amid as Pentagon spending declines and new projects are delayed. "With fewer programs for which to compete, the stakes for individual companies grow ever higher – loss of a contract competition could mean the end of a company's ability to compete for defense work," he said. Melcher's full statement is here.

Daniel Pipes Takes a Stand Against Islam Being Banned in America Posted: 30 Sep 2015 05:05 PM PDT In past I have been criticized for well…criticizing what I like to call the “establishment” in this “field”. That “establishment” has some long time members in it, and one of them is so called historian Daniel Pipes. A historian who makes uneducated comments such as the following: Here is the rub: It is a mistake to blame Islam (a religion 14 centuries old) for the evil that should be ascribed to militant Islam (a totalitarian ideology less than a century old). The terrorism of al Qaeda, Hamas, the Iranian government and other Islamists results from the ideas of such contemporary radicals as Osama bin Laden and Ayatollah Khomeini, not from the Koran. A statement that is easily refuted with just one hadith from the world renowned Sahih (authentic) ahadith. Which is respected by all four major schools of Islamic jurisprudence. Hanafi, Hanbali, Maliki, and Shafi’i.       Uneducated comments such as: “militant Islam is the problem, moderate Islam is the solution”  A “solution” the he has been $elling America since at least 2004. How is that working out for America? As you can see Daniel is protective of Islam itself, and in the past has even said that he respects Islam. Well today his protectiveness of Islam has surfaced again, as he came out against the call to ban Islam. A call I completely support. Islam just does not belong here. (Note to spies: That is NOT a call to violence.) (Click on image in order to enlarge.) At the top Pipes wrote the following: Me: Shows need for #Islam-#Islamism distinction No Daniel. There is no Islamism, there is only the Koran and it is the book of Islam. So stop misleading public in the same manner Dr. Zuhdi Jasser is. It is not helping, because the failure to properly identify the enemy ideology will eventually result in America losing this war. For those who are wondering if he will take me up on my debate challenge, please do not hold your breath.

Here is the lead fox in the house. This one gets to whisper in the kings ear many times a day.
I’d like to draw your attention to the text next to Valerie’s name. While attending Stanford University.
ponder and re-ponder what she boldly stated way back in 1977 “.......using freedom of religion in America against itself.”
AND guess what....that is exactly what she and her Muslim czars have, and are doing as we sleep.

Yes ladies and gentlemen, THIS is Obama's top advisor. 
Seems as if his promise to fundamentally change America is in full swing. Had enough yet?

 

Secrets of the Secret Service: What they really think about the Presidents they serve...

Secrets of the Secret Service

 

Never Stand in Line

 

Secrets of the Secret Service

 

Very interesting but not surprising. Scroll down to read what Kessler thinks of the presidents he served. And now, you'll know the rest of the story. Interesting snippets from Ronald Kessler's book about our presidents.

 

JOHN & JACQUELINE KENNEDY

 

*A philanderer of the highest order.* 
*She ordered the kitchen help to save all the left-over wine from State dinners, mixed it with fresh wine and served again during the next White House occasion.*

 

 

LYNDON & LADYBIRD JOHNSON 
*Another philanderer of the highest order. In addition, LBJ was as crude as the day is long. Both JFK and LBJ kept a lot of women in the White House for extramarital affairs and both had set up early warning systems to alert them if/when their wives were nearby. Both were promiscuous and oversexed men.*
*She was either naive or just pretended to not know about her husband's many liaisons.*

RICHARD & PAT NIXON 
*A "moral" man but very odd, weird, paranoid. He had a horrible relationship with his family and was almost a recluse.*
*She was quiet most of the time.*

 

SPIRO AGNEW 
*Nice, decent man. Everyone in the Secret Service was surprised by his downfall.*

 

 

 

 

GERALD & BETTY FORD 
*A true gentlemen who treated the Secret Service with respect and dignity. He had a great sense of humor. *
*She drank a lot!*

 

 

 

JIMMY & ROSALYN CARTER 
*A complete phony who would portray one picture of himself to public and very different in private e.g. would be shown carrying his own luggage but the suitcases were always empty. He kept empty ones just for photo ops. He wanted people to see him as pious and a non-drinker but he and his family drank alcohol a lot! He had disdain for the Secret Service and was very irresponsible with the "football" with nuclear codes. He didn't think it was a big deal and would keep military aides at a great distance. Often did not acknowledge the presence of Secret Service personnel assigned to serve him.*
*She mostly did her own thing.*

 

 

RONALD & NANCY REAGAN 
*The real deal, moral, honest, respectful and dignified. They treated Secret Service and everyone else with respect and honor, thanked everyone all the time. He took the time to know everyone on a personal level. One favorite story was early in his Presidency when he came out of his room with a pistol tucked on his hip. The agent in charge asked: "Why the pistol, Mr. President?" He replied, "In case you boys can't get the job done, I can help." It was common for him to carry a pistol. When he met with Gorbachev, he had a pistol in his briefcase. 
*She was very nice but very protective of the President and the Secret Service was often caught in the middle. She tried hard to control what he ate. He would say to the agent, "Come on, you gotta help me out." The Reagan's drank wine during State dinners and special occasions only otherwise they shunned alcohol. The Secret Service could count on one hand the times they were served wine during family dinner. For all the fake bluster of the Carters, the Reagan's were the ones who lived life as genuinely moral people.*  

 

 

GEORGE H. & BARBARA BUSH 
*Extremely kind and considerate, always respectful. Took great care in making sure the agents' comforts were taken care of. They even brought them meals. One time she brought warm clothes to agents standing outside at Kennebunkport. One was given a warm hat and, when he tried to say "no thanks" even though he was obviously freezing, the President said "Son, don't argue with the First Lady. Put the hat on." He was the most prompt of the Presidents. He ran the White House like a well-oiled machine.*
*She ruled the house and spoke her mind.*

 

 

BILL & HILLARY CLINTON 
*Presidency was one giant party. Not trustworthy. He was nice mainly because he wanted everyone to like him but to him life is just one big game and party. Everyone knows about his sexuality.*
*She is another phony. Her personality would change the instant cameras were near. She hated, with open disdain the military and Secret Service. She was another who felt people were there to serve her. She was always trying to keep tabs on Bill Clinton.*

 

 

 

ALBERT GORE  
*An egotistical ass who was once overheard by his Secret Service detail lecturing his son that he needed to do better in school or he would end up like these guys, pointing to the agents.*

 

 

 

GEORGE W. & LAURA BUSH 
*The Secret Service loved him and Laura Bush. He was also the most physically in shape who had a very strict workout regimen. The Bushes made sure their entire administrative and household staff understood that they were to respect and be considerate of the Secret Service.*
*She was one of the nicest First Ladies, if not the nicest. She never had any harsh word to say about anyone.*

 

 

*BARACK & MICHELLE OBAMA 
*Clinton all over again - hates the military and looks down on the Secret Service. He is egotistical and cunning. He looks you in the eye and appears to agree with you but turns around and does the opposite. He has temper tantrums.*
*She is a complete bitch who basically hates anybody who is not black, hates the military and looks at the Secret Service as servants.*

 

 

A ‘TRUE STORY ABOUT’ General McChrystal's resignation in Obama's office from General McChrystal's book! NEVER STAND IN LINE AGAIN

 

Some men carry and handle their diplomacy better than others. When former U.S. Military commander in Afghanistan, General McChrystal, was called into the Oval Office by Barack Obama, he knew things weren't going to go well when the President accused him of not supporting him in his political role as President.

 

"It's not my job to support you as a politician, Mr. President, it's my job to support you as Commander-in-Chief,"  
McChrystal replied, and he handed Obama his resignation.

 

Not satisfied with accepting McChrystal's resignation, the President made a cheap parting shot.  
"I bet when I die you'll be happy to piss on my grave."

 

The General saluted and said, "Mr. President, I always told myself after leaving the Army I'd never stand in line again."
