SrWoodchuck Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 World Ends...Minorities Hardest Hit H/T Instapundit What a hoot, @Valin! My thoughts, from the link: They be sayin': "We be smokin' da tree's...." [popular gang vernacular for inhaling burning cannabis] Dense tree cover in urban areas can improve local health factors and has even been associated with a decrease in crime in some cities. But cities don’t tend to invest in trees for poor neighborhoods, where residents without their own private green space aren’t in a position to invest for themselves. A new idea from IKEA......with solar strips in the roof that power lights & some small electrics.....maybe a fan......

SrWoodchuck Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Hi! We want you to put a Park on the Moon! Good news: Democrats introduce bill to build a national park on the moon or something http://hotair.com/archives/2013/07/10/good-news-democrats-introduce-bill-to-build-a-national-park-on-the-moon-or-something/ They also want the Apollo sites designated as official UNESCO World Heritage landmarks, which lends an interesting nuance to the word “World.” But that’s probably the only route here to carving out the Apollo sites as no-go areas for the rest of the planet. Under a 1967 UN treaty signed by most countries (including the U.S.), you can’t stake a claim of national sovereignty to any part of outer space. It’s the “province of all mankind.” Rep.

SrWoodchuck Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Israeli green light for big Egyptian Sinai offensive, after Islamists fail to assassinate Egyptian general http://www.debka.com/article/23109/Israeli-green-light-for-big-Egyptian-Sinai-offensive-after-Islamists-fail-to-assassinate-Egyptian-general Israel Thursday July 11 approved a major Egyptian offensive for curbing the mounting aggression in Sinai of armed Salafis gangs, Muslim Brotherhood raiders and Hamas terrorists. A day earlier, Egypt’s Second Army commander, Maj.-Gen. Ahmad Wasfi, who is assigned to lead the offensive, escaped unhurt from an attempt on his life. Some of his bodyguards and soldiers were killed. Maj.-Gen. Wasfi arrived in Sinai just four days ago to set up headquarters in the northern town of El Arish. He was targeted for the first attempt by radical Islamists to murder a high-ranking Egyptian general. As a close associate of Defense Minister Gen. Fattah El-Sisi, Wasfi took part in the military coup which ousted President Mohamed Morsi in Cairo on July 3. Around 30 Islamist gunmen laid in ambush for his convoy Wednesday, debkafile's sources report. As the cars drove past Sheikh Zuwayed, southwest of El Arish, they came under a hail of RPG anti-tank rockets and explosive devices. A minivan then drove the length of the convoy shooting heavy machine guns and armor-piercing bullets, trapping the Egyptian troops and officers in the blazing vehicles and gunning down those who tried to escape. A fierce shootout ensued in which a number of attackers suffered losses, Egyptian military sources say. The minivan’s driver was captured and is under interrogation. Tuesday, at the same location, two buses carrying Colombian peacemakers serving with the multinational force-MFO at the Sheikh Zuwayed base were also waylaid and shot up. Of deep concern to the Egyptian and Israeli high commands is the Salafist assailants’ prior knowledge of the timing and route taken by Gen. Wasfi’s convoy in Sinai, because it means that Islamist terrorists have penetrated Egypt’s military apparatus in Sinai and gained an inside track on its activities. With Israel’s consent (in line with the 1979 peace treaty), the Egyptian army last week withdrew substantial strength from the Suez Canal towns of Port Said and Ismailia and deployed the troops in Sinai ahead of the offensive.On the other side of the Sinai border, Israeli Defense Forces are heavily deployed along the Sinai and Gaza border fences and in the southernmost sector of Eilat.

(AP) - Governor Scott Walker says activities of protesters at the site of proposed iron ore mine near Lake Superior "has no place in Wisconsin." The governor issued a statement Friday commenting on the situation at the mine site, which has grown increasingly tense this week when the mining company hired paramilitary-style guards to patrol the site.

Valin Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 The Navy’s Killer Drone Totally Has a Mind of Its Own Flying robot gets cold feet, aborts own landing A new era in aviation dawned when the U.S. Navy’s X-47B Unmanned Combat Air System armed drone demonstrator completed its first-ever arrested landing aboard the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush off the Virginia coast Wednesday. After completing a second autonomous arrested landing on the nuclear-powered carrier, the 60-foot-wingspan X-47B was angling in for a third touch-down when it detected an anomaly in its own navigation computer and decided, all on its own, to abort the landing, pulling up just short of the flattop’s thousand-foot deck. According to the Navy, the drone was about four miles behind the ship, with its arrestor hook and landing gear already down, when one of its routine health checks revealed an unspecified glitch in a computer subsystem.
