An Unwavering Waiver Wire With Your Host, Lance Ball!
November 14, 2011 by Kurt Turner
Another exciting week has nearly wrapped itself up and the waiver wire appears to be alive and well, especially for Week 11.
To wrap up a few things:
Matthew Stafford has a fractured finger in his throwing hand, details to come.
DeSean Jackson is public enemy number one in Philadelphia after his unrelenting whining over his contract extension
The Jets, Broncos, Cardinals, 49ers and Vikings all have some interesting waiver wire option for you to explore, so let's find out who they are.
Lance Ball - RB - Denver Broncos: There is an interesting development happening in Denver right now with their running back situation.
BOTH Knowshon Moreno and Willis McGahee are injured (Moreno knee - McGahee, hamstring) which opened a nice little door for Broncos third stringer Lance Ball, who looked anything BUT a third stringer rushing for 96 yards on 30 carries.
Knowshon is already expected to miss this week, and even if McGahee is able to start, the Broncos will still deploy Ball in committee fashion.
With this performance, he (Ball) could even wind up a nice RB2 with or without McGahee in the mix.
Jeremy Kerley - WR - New York Jets: The 22 year old from TCU had his third straight game with 4 catches, and this time around he was good for 79 yards on those grabs.
Kerley has been a featured "secret weapon" in the Jets passing game, and it appears that Sanchez is starting to trust in him, but I would still err on the side of caution here.
If you can afford the roster space then I would say grab him and watch if he grows, but if you are in a deeper format, I would grab him now if you are in need of a PPR receiver with a ton of upside moving forward.
Early Doucet - WR Arizona Cardinals: Ya know, in real life a Cardinal would never beat an Eagle if they were to throw down...or would it?
Early Doucet finished Sunday's contest against the Eagles with just two catches and a TD, but that is only a fraction of the overall story here, and if you are in a deeper format with WR needs, Doucet may be your guy.
Doucet has 10 catches for 122 yards and three TDs in his last four games, and even against the best defenses in the league, the Cardinals still find a way to get him involved, especially in the red-zone.
Doucet is going to be an up and down type of player, but at this point it is getting harder to ignore him, especially as a WR 3 of FLEX play.
Kendall Hunter - RB - San Francisco 49ers: The past week or two, Frank Gore owners have been dealing with spotty play from their star running back out of San Francisco due to his lingering ankle injury he's been battling, but now owners are going to have to add a nice knee injury to that issue.
Gore sat out or nearly the entire second half of Sunday's win over the New York Giants, and Kendal Hunter was the primary fill-in back, and if you're in a pinch, Hunter could be a nice grab in deeper formats.
Hunter rushed six times for 40 yards, a single touchdown with a single catch for four yards, and even if Gore is a go next week (questionable right now) Hunter is still figure to scarf up half the work load at minimum, making him a possible low-end RB 2.
Devin Aromashodu - WR - Minnesota Vikings: In case anyone didn't know, Aromashodu led all Vikings receivers with snaps played against Carolina (61) despite only catching two balls for 21 yards.
This is along the lines of what I expected if Bernard Berrian were to ever be removed, but many owners might not trust the low catch total, which is something that could change TONIGHT in Green Bay.
You have the choice here to either take a wait and see approach, or run out and grab him, but I would suggest wait and see since Aromashodu isn't likely to be scooped up be anyone which is a shame because if he gets going tonight, he has three cream puff matchups going forward to take advantage of in Oakland, Atlanta and Denver.
Greg: Ray wrapped up most of the waiver-wire options that are likely left on your wire. Keep in mind that going into Week 11, the pickings right now are going to be terribly slim. Guys like Reggie Bush and Roy Helu have likely been gone for weeks now. We'll do our best to give you the best available options possible, but most of the guys who had some subtle fantasy value this past weekend simply aren't worth picking up.
Here are some of the guys who I think may still have some sort of value:
Eagles QB Vince Young - During his Monday press conference, Andy Reid revealed that Michael Vick suffered two broken ribs against the Cardinals. Close to being knocked out of the playoffs completely, the Eagles may have to turn to Vince Young to lead the team Sunday night against the Giants. Young already has a tough matchup, but it doesn't make it any easier with Jeremy Maclin likely out with a hamstring and shoulder injury. Young could make a decent QB2/Flex option with his rushing yards.
Chiefs QB Tyler Palko - Matt Cassel could be done for the year if he needs to undergo surgery for an injured hand. Palko doesn't really have much in the way of stats, so it's hard to recommend him as anything more than an option in the largest of leagues, even in a favorable matchup against the Patriots in Week 11. He did look decent in relief against the Broncos, going 5-of-6 passing for 47 yards.
Chiefs RB Dexter McCluster - McCluster racked up 93 total yards and chipped in 6 catches against the Broncos. McCluster is one of those guys who is going to look decent one week and then like crap the next, so I can't advise him as anything more than a flex option in larger leagues. The Chiefs offense is pretty much a mess right now.
Browns RB Chris Ogbonnaya - I had figured Ogbonnaya would be able to muster up some fantasy points against a suspect Rams Defense. He managed to rack up 90 rushing yards, while also catching 2 passes for another 19. The Jaguars Defense will prove to more of a challenge if Ogbonnaya has to start again in Week 11. He's flex material at best.
Raiders WR Denarius Moore - Moore was sleeper supreme on my draft rankings. But because the coaching staff had continued to use Darius Heyward-Bay (Most likely because of Al Davis), Moore never had much chance to shine. All that changed Thursday night against the Chargers after he and Carson Palmer hooked up for 5 receptions, 123 yards and two touchdowns against the Chargers. Moore could be hit-or-miss, but he is definitely worth an add going into Week 11.
Titans WR Damian Williams - With Tennessee's running game starting to open up a little bit more, Williams has become a stronger receiving options in recent weeks. He managed five catches for 107 yards with a touchdown against the Panthers and has improved on his route running. He won't be a true fantasy commodity, but he could be just good enough as a WR3 in the coming weeks.
Eagles WRs Steve Smith/Jason Avant - With the news that Jeremy Maclin has a very good chance of missing Week 11, Jason Avant figures to get the start across from DeSean Jackson, who is expected to play after being a surprised bench against the Cardinals. Smith is an intriguing option as well. Even with Michael Vick ailing, Smith still managed to catch 5 passes for 47 yards. Keep in mind that owners should temper expectations if Vince Young winds up starting.
Chargers WR Vincent Brown - Starting in place of an injured Malcom Floyd (hip), Brown has made the most of his chances. In two games, Brown has accumulated 9 catches for 176 yards and a score. Floyd sat out of Monday's practice, making it a good bet that Brown starts again against the Bears in Week 11. He is a must add in all formats.
Colts TE Jacob Tamme - If this was a Manning-led Colts offense, I would be more excited about Tamme's fantasy prospects, but he is going to be hit or miss. Dallas Clark is expected to miss the next three weeks with a lower-leg injury, so Tamme could be worth a look. He did catch six passes for 75 yards in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars.

Federal appeals court says tire-chalking by parking enforcement officers is unconstitutional

Law, constitution and courts
April 22, 2019 at 6:45 PM EDT
The age-old parking enforcement practice of tire-chalking is unconstitutional, a federal appeals court ruled Monday, saying it violated the Fourth Amendment's bar on unreasonable searches.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit, in a first-of-its-kind decision, ruled that marking a car's tires to gather information is a form of trespass requiring a warrant, similar to police attaching a GPS to a vehicle to track a suspected drug dealer.
Parking attendants across the country have been chalking tires with big white lines for decades in zones without meters to enforce of time limits and issue tickets. It's a substantial source of revenue for many cities.
The decision, while undoubtedly bringing joy to parking scofflaws everywhere, could cost some cities money, either from lost revenue or having to install meters where none exist.
On the other hand, as Fourth Amendment expert Orin Kerr of the University of Southern California law school tweeted, it "seems easy enough these days for parking enforcers to just take a photo of the car, or even just a close-up photo of the tire, rather than chalk it. . . . No 4A issues then."
The 6th Circuit covers the states of Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee; the court sits in Cincinnati.
The case came from Saginaw, Mich., where lawyer Philip Ellison engaged in a Facebook rant in 2016 after his law partner, sitting in his chalked car, got ticketed while the two talked on the phone.
Ellison said a friend, Alison Taylor, saw the Facebook post and got in touch to complain about her 15th ticket in two years. She, as plaintiff, and he, as lawyer, filed a civil rights suit against Saginaw and a named parking enforcement officer who Ellison claims "issues more than 95 percent of the tickets."
"We made a federal case out of tire-chalking," said Ellison, who is seeking refunds for his client and others caught by chalking. He acknowledged some surprise at his victory, as he could find no comparable chalking precedents.
The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution bars "unreasonable searches." But a U.S. District Court in Bay City, Mich., had dismissed the lawsuit, concluding that chalking, while a type of search, was not at all unreasonable.
People have a lesser expectation of privacy in their cars than, for example, in their homes, the district court ruled. Plus, the lower court said, the Supreme Court has carved out a "community caretaker" exception to warrant requirements for routine parking and traffic enforcement so police can control the hazards of clogged streets.
Appeals court Judge Bernice Bouie Donald, writing for a unanimous three-judge panel, reversed.
She said traditional law on searches of vehicles had been upended by the Supreme Court's 2012 decision restricting the powers of police to use GPS devices to track criminal suspects.
In United States v. Jones, Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority, said that attaching the tracking device was a form of trespass on private property by police that requires a warrant.
Donald said the chalking of Taylor's car was just like the GPS installation, a trespass for the purpose of gathering incriminating information and therefore a Fourth Amendment violation when done without a warrant.
She dismissed the "caretaker" exception, saying that Taylor's vehicle posed no safety risk. The city was trying to raise revenue, not "mitigate [a] public hazard," she wrote.
A lawyer for Saginaw did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Best Things To Do In Tbilisi In 2020
Tbilisi is the capital of Georgia and the trendy and vibrant heart of the Caucasus region, which includes Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia. Even though the city has a modern and young vibe to it, it has quite a long and complicated history. Due to the city's favorable location between important trade and travel routes, Tbilisi is known in Eastern Europe as the Rome of the Caucasus.
Throughout the 19th century, Tbilisi was the center of important cultural, political and economic affairs in Caucasus, so much so that at one point it even ruled both Southern and Northern Caucasus. Tbilisi is currently home to a mix of cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds - the majority of which are Eastern Orthodox Christian.
The architecture in Tbilisi is composed of buildings that date back to when the city came to be, in nearly 500 BC. Because of its crossroads location between Europe and Asia, the city impressive architecture is a tribute to many of the cultures that have passed through it.
Its downtown area is a combination of ancient architecture and modern and futuristic looking buildings, the city primarily consists of medieval classical structures and soviet architecture.
What to See in Tbilisi
Its complex history and its architectural treasures are not the only reasons to visit in Tbilisi. Along with its old-world charm, the picturesque Caucasian mountains surrounding this busy city make it a beautiful landscape no matter where you look at it from.
If you wish to stay in the downtown area and enjoy magnificent views, from the Radisson Blu Iveria Hotel, Tbilisi, you can enjoy stunning mountain views from the comfort and convenience of the city center. By staying in a downtown location, a variety of superb dining, shopping and nightlife options and have some of Tbilisi's most visited sites, like the Old Town and the Narikala Fortress, will be within reach.
Other important sites to visit while in Tbilisi, within walking distance from the heart of the city, are the Kura river and the pedestrians-only Peace Bridge - these are both unique landmarks with a rich history very true to Tbilisi aesthetic. Similarly, there are also the underground natural hot springs visited in masses and beloved by locals and visitors alike.
The bath district in Tbilisi is now a popular tourist attraction known as the Royal Baths, the historic bathhouses with hot pools of sulfur-rich water.
Fun fact: The name Tbilisi derives from the Georgian word Tfili, which means warm location. Because Tbilisi was built atop thermal springs, it was given the name Tbilisi when founded.
As the largest and most diverse city in Georgia, Tbilisi is filled with a creative crowd of well-read and fashionable individuals. All over town, there are quaint streets filled with small markets, trendy boutiques and bazaars, like the Dry Bridge Market, where you can spot antique and unique items you can only find in Tbilisi.
What to Eat in Tbilisi
Georgian food is a combination of European and Middle Eastern cuisine and getting acquainted with Georgian cuisine and culture is one of the most impressive things to experience while visiting. The Georgian Supra, which is approximately a 5-hour meal, where you indulge in lots of drinking and eating. It is one of the main pillars of Georgian traditions and many consider it the national pastime.
Besides its delicious food, it is also worth noting that Georgia is considered among wine connoisseurs - the cradle of wine, it is one of the oldest wine regions and one of the pioneers of grapevine cultivation in the world. Although many people may know it, the English word for wine is thought to derive from the Georgian 'ghvino'.
Because of its distinctive eating and drinking traditions, Georgia is becoming increasingly touristic and Tbilisi is once again becoming a point of contention in South Caucasus. There are trendy new restaurants and burgeoning art cafes emerging throughout the city and they are quickly becoming preferred hang out spots for many Georgians.
The city's hipster fashion and culture, its eclectic architecture and warmhearted natives are progressively putting Tbilisi on the map. Now as a major 'must-visit' location Eurasia, Tbilisi is gaining back its historic reputation as the region's most cosmopolitan city.

'Youths' Shouting 'Allah hu Akbar' Attack French Police Station
GERARD JULIEN/AFP/Getty Images
A group of 15 young people in the department of Eure are said to have attacked a local police station, launching projectiles and fireworks while yelling "Allah hu Akbar".
The attack occurred at 2 am on Friday at the Val-de-Reuil-Louviers police station with the 15 "youths", all wearing hoodies, firing projectiles directly at officers, French newspaper Le Figaro reports.
According to CCTV footage viewed by the paper, two of the officers were forced to deploy riot shields to defend themselves against the attack.
The entire incident is said to have lasted around half an hour with those besieging the station making attempts to break into the building.
Officers deployed tear gas at the attackers and police were later backed up by members of the Anti-Crime Brigade (BAC) and the Departmental Directorate of Public Security (DDSP).
Man With 'Jihadi Armband' Storms French Police Station Attacking Officers https://t.co/4gBHz8IhhO
A police report seen by the newspaper described the situation saying that the 15 youths not only shouted "Allah hu Akbar" at the officers but also insulted them as "French f*ckers" and reportedly said: "Come out were are going to burn you." Later found at the scene were 115 projectiles of varying kinds.
The Alliance Police Nationale, a major police union, condemned the incident, labelling it "unheard-of violence". The union added that it was concerned over the lack of resources and staff available saying the same station had been targetted in a similar incident in July last year.
The incident comes only months after a 34-year-old man in Bordeaux stormed a police station wearing a jihadi armband yelled death threats towards officers in the name of Allah. No officers were injured, but police were forced to deploy a taser to subdue the suspect.
Jihadis have repeatedly targetted police officers in France, with Islamic State taking responsibility for the killing of 42-year old police commissioner Jean-Baptiste Salvaing and his wife in 2016.
Larossi Abballa, who was behind the attack, stabbed the couple in their family home. Abballa, 25, had also been convicted for prior terror offences.

Nobel Peace Prize 2011: Shared by 3 Women Peace & Human Rights Activists
The Norwegian Nobel Committee (appointed, as mandated by Alfred Nobel's will, by the Storting, or Norwegian Parliament) has announced that for 2011, the Nobel Peace Prize will be shared equally by three (3) women, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Leymah Gbowee, and Tawakkol Karman, "for their non-violent struggle for the safety of women and for women's rights to full participation in peace-building work." The Nobel Peace Prize has often been shared by two individuals (or an individual and an organization), rarely by three individuals, and never by more than three individuals.
Each of these women has long been involved in nonviolent human rights struggle, especially for the rights, safety, and well-being of women and children. They have also pushed for women to be treated by nations and international organizations as equal participants in peacebuilding efforts, especially post-conflict peacebuilding. This goes against the long history of women and their concerns being ignored in the normal negotiating process that leads to peace treaties.
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf (1938-) is the current President of Liberia, the first woman to be democratically elected head of state of any African nation. A Harvard-educated economist, Sirleaf had served as Assistant Finance Minister in the administration of William Tolbert from 1972-1973. Later she was Finance Minister from 1979 to 1980, when the democratic government was overthrown in a coup d'etat by the dictator Samuel Doe. Sirleaf fled the country, one of only 4 members of Tolbert's cabinet to escape execution, and took jobs with international agencies. She returned to Liberia and was placed under house arrest and had to flee again. At the outbreak of the first Liberian civil war in 1997, she initially supported insurgent leader Charles Taylor's fight against the dictator Samuel Doe, but later repudiated and denounced him as his war crimes became public knowledge. A second Liberian war raged from 1999-2003. At the end of this, Sirleaf returned to Liberia, supported the transitional government's de-armament process, the establishment of a Truth and Reconciliation Committee and efforts to heal returned child soldiers (who had been both victims and victimizers). She ran for President under the new constitution in 2005 and won. Two decades of civil war had left Liberia with no infrastructure, nearly universal unemployment, raging ethnic and tribal animosities, and mountains of debt. Sirleaf managed to get the international community to cancel almost all of Liberia's debt and has encouraged international investment. Using Liberia mineral wealth, she has restored some of the infrastructure (most of the capital of Monrovia now has electricity and running water, again) and has helped to re-build schools and hospitals throughout the country. She signed into law a Freedom of Information Act, the first of its kind in Africa. But, Liberians, like Americans, think presidents can achieve miracles overnight so Sirleaf is nowhere near as popular at home as she is admired abroad. After all, unemployment remains about 80%! Also, though Sirleaf has waged battle against corruption, it has proven to be difficult to stamp out and several of her cabinet members have been fired for scandals. Further, many believe she should have worked more on reconciliation between ethnic groups and less on rebuilding the institutions of government and the nation's infrastructure. So, Sirleaf is far from being assured of reelection next month (and she broke a 2005 campaign promise to serve only 1 term if elected). But whether or not she is reelected, the 72 year old Sirleaf is well-deserving of being a Nobel Peace Laureate.
Leymah Roberta Gbowee (b. 1972-) is known as "Liberia's Peace Warrior." A mother of six (6) children, Gbowee is a human rights and women's rights campaigner. Born in central Liberia, she moved to the capital, Monrovia, at 17–just as the first Liberian Civil War broke out! She trained as trauma counselor and worked with the child soldiers of Charles Taylor's rebel army. Surrounded by death and destruction, Gbowee realized that if the country were to ever have peace, it would have to be mothers who brought it–mothers tired of seeing their dreams for their children shattered by the horrors of war. Gbowee formed the Women of Liberia Mass Action for Peace in 2002. She organized the Christian and Muslim women of Liberia to pray together for peace and to engage in nonviolent demonstrations for an end to the civil war. Gbowee, a Lutheran Christian, spread her movement to the churches and mosques and they forced a meeting with then-president Charles Taylor, getting him to attend a peace conference held in Ghana in 2002. Together with fellow Lutheran woman Comfort Freeman, Gbowee founded Women in Peacebuilding Network (WIPNET), whose nonviolent actions finally brought an end to the Second Liberian War in 2003, the abdication and exile of Charles Taylor, and a transitional government that paved the way for democratic elections in 2005. Wearing white t-shirts (to symbolize peace), Gbowee and the women of WIPNET marched by the thousands throughout Liberia. They formed the documentary Pray the Devil Back to Hell, which has been used to spread the women's peace movement to other African nations such as Sudan (now South Sudan) and Zimbabwe where the women are also using prayer and nonviolent tactics to petition for peace and human rights.
Tarwakkol Karmen (1979-), a Muslim feminist and human rights activist in Yemen, represents the Nobel Committee's acknowledgement of the "Arab Spring." She is a journalist by profession and has chafed for years under press restrictions in Yemen's dictatorship. She is a senior member of al-Islah , the main opposition party in Yemen. In 2005 she founded Women Journalists Without Chains, an organization dedicated to democracy and freedom of the press. As soon as Tunisia's nonviolent movement toppled its dictator, Karmen pushed for a similar movement in Yemen. Photos of her heroes (Mohandas K. Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Nelson Mandela) adorn her home. In a country wear most women are forced to wear all-black niqueb, or full head covering, Karmen wears an open-faced head scarf, usually white with flowers, as a symbol of women's dignity and defiance to the dictator Salleh and the oppressive culture. She insists that Islam itself does not demand the niqeb, but that it is a sign of outmoded patriarchal culture, instead. She has pushed for laws against the wedding of women younger than 17 and against violence against women and children. Since the outbreak of the Arab Spring, Karmen has led in march after march in Yemen's capital, been arrested and beaten. Her life and the lives of her children have been threatened by the government, but she presses onward. To the nonviolent pro-democracy movement, Karmen is known as "The Mother of the Revolution,"–a revolution that is, at present, incomplete since Salleh clings to power by the use of massive violence against his own people–as he done for 33 years, now. Karmen and her fellow Yemeni nonviolent revolutionaries are undeterred. She has dedicated her Nobel Prize to the entire movement. (Many within the movement have proposed her for president in a post-Salleh Yemen, which would make her the first democratically-elected female leader in any Muslim-majority nation, if it happens.)
Largely because of its longevity and the large monetary awards accompanying it, the Nobel Peace Prize is the most widely recognized and prestigious peace prize –despite ambiguities in Alfred Nobel's will and oddities in the Norwegian Nobel Committee that have led to some bizarre recipients (e.g., Teddy Roosevelt, Nicholas Murray Butler, Henry Kissinger, Yasser Arafat, Shimon Peres, & Yitzhak Rabin) and even stranger omissions (e.g., Mohandas K. Gandhi, Thich Nhat Hanh, Dom Helder Camara, Fr. Daniel Berrigan, S.J.). The committee has too often neglected women. Prior to this year, only 12 women have won the Nobel Peace Prize in its over 100 year history. But this year's prizes are to be celebrated by all who believe in nonviolence, human rights, democracy, and the full equality of women. I look forward to watching the ceremonies in Oslo this December and reading their speeches and lectures. I pray continued success to these brave women and the movements they lead.

Q: Html.DropDownList Default Value MVC 5 I'm just trying to add a default value ("Create new Venue") to this list and it's probably easier than I'm making it.  I'm confused by the method overloads, particularly because the overload I'm using (created by scaffolding) is DropDownList(string name, IEnumerable selectList, object htmlAttributes) and the second parameter is null, but it works.  I think there is some convention at work here.  Can anyone shed light on that and/or how I can add a default value to this list?
Controller:
ViewBag.VenueId = new SelectList(db.Venues, "Id", "Name", review.VenueId);
        return View(review);
    }

View:

        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.VenueId, "VenueId", htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })

            @Html.DropDownList("VenueId", null, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "form-control" })
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.VenueId, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

Don't see what you're looking for?  Fear not.  Just type in the name and create your review; we'll fill in the rest!

A: Maybe you can break down your SelectList and insert an item into it? Here's an example (haven't tested it out, so not 100% sure it works):
Controller
// Create item list from your predefined elements
List<SelectListItem> yourDropDownItems = new SelectList(db.Venues, "Id", "Name", review.VenueId).ToList();

// Create item to add to list
SelectListItem additionalItem = new SelectListItem { Text = "Create new Venue", Value = "0" }; // I'm just making it zero, in case you want to be able to identify it in your post later

// Specify index where you would like to add your item within the list
int ddIndex = yourDropDownItems.Count(); // Could be 0, or place at end of your list?

// Add item at specified location
yourDropDownItems.Insert(ddIndex, additionalItem);

// Send your list to the view
ViewBag.DropDownList = yourDropDownItems;

return View(review);

In 2011-2012 there were approximately one million Australians with diabetes. 12% of Australians have Type 1 diabetes, which generally starts in childhood to early adulthood. In type 1 diabetes the body does not produce insulin, which converts sugar, starches and food into energy.
Type 2 diabetes is the more common type of diabetes in Australia, with 848,000 people having this disease. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the pancreas does not make enough insulin and the body has higher than normal blood glucose levels. Diabetes incidence increases with age, with approximately 95% occurring in those over 35 years and 50% in those aged 65 years or more*.
Research shows that there is a higher prevalence of gum disease among people with diabetes; adding gum disease to other risk factors such as heart disease, stroke and kidney disease.


Science has a problem. Most biologists are convinced that mass extinction is taking place across the world today, but they have difficulty proving it. Only a few hundred species can be proven conclusively to have died out. One of the biggest problems is the lack of proper figures. We can't even pretend to have any idea of the number of species in existence on Earth, let alone each individual population size. Today, we know of the existence of some 1.8 million species. But because many areas are difficult to reach and have barely been investigated – such as the deep sea, isolated jungles and many different soils too – the total number of species could actually be ten or twenty times as many. But even in the case of species that have been described by science, it's more difficult to prove that they've become extinct than it is to prove they exist. Especially when it comes to rare species, it's highly likely that we've failed to spot the last few of them that are still alive. So scientists are accordingly hesitant to declare any species as definitively dead.
In lieu of anything else, we resort to estimates. It's an undisputed fact that man has destroyed species-rich ecosystems on a massive scale, such as rainforests. A common rule of thumb states that the number of species in a habitat sinks to roughly half when its surface area is destroyed by 90%. But even the validity of this 'rule' is difficult to prove in reality. For one thing, it can take a very long time before species actually die out. This is called the 'extinction debt', which means it can take centuries or even millennia for the final consequences of specific events to take effect and cause species to die out. Furthermore, these rules of thumb were derived from observations carried out on islands. But ecosystems on the mainland differ from those on islands in one crucial matter: it's far easier for species to migrate. The problem overall is excellently demonstrated by a survey published last year in the journal Science by a team led by Maria Dornelas, a biologist from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. In a large-scale meta-analysis of time series, Dornelas investigated species development in numerous local ecosystems from the poles to the tropics. Her results have caused quite a stir. The number of species decreased in just some 40% of the habitats analysed. In the remainder, the number of species stayed the same or even increased. This sounds like good news – but it's only half the truth. The other half is rather more important: on average, some 10% of all species are replaced every decade in a typical ecosystem. We don't learn any details about this species-exchange from Dornelas' work, but experience shows that in such processes the immigrant species often displace highly rare, even unique local species. And this is the real threat to diversity.
"If you only work with numbers of species, then you haven't understood what biodiversity is really about", says Daniela Pauli. She's the manager of the Swiss Biodiversity Forum, a competence centre run by the Swiss Academy of Sciences. "The problem is actually the increase in homogenisation. Habitats and species communities are becoming increasingly similar".
even increased in recent years – primarily thanks to immigration from the Mediterranean regions, such as bee-eaters that can now breed in Switzerland, thanks to global warming. But at the same time, there has been a collapse in the stock of species that were once prevalent. There's the corn crake bird, whose incessant nocturnal calls annoyed many people just a hundred years ago, but of which just a few dozen are left in Switzerland today. Or there's the lady's slipper, a flower that used to be sold by the bundle at markets in the Jura region, but is today an absolute rarity.

them an easy target for pests. These are indeed on the advance, and the consequences are potentially disastrous. Hurricane Lothar in 1999 affected spruce cultures and other monocultures most of all – as did the bark beetle afterwards. Mixed woodlands proved less vulnerable. And let's have one more example: a higher diversity of mammals in forests is proven to provide protection against Lyme disease, a dreaded tickborne form of encephalitis. Because when other mammals are absent, the ticks primarily attack mice, and these are the principal hosts for Lyme disease germs.
there is a high degree of probability that one of them will be well adjusted to the environmental conditions that will arise in the future – and this is the basis of evolution. And if a community shelters many hundreds of species, then there is a chance that at least some of them will survive even a drastic change. Thanks to them, the ecosystem will remain able to function.

The Comparison of Alternative Waste Management Strategies for Long lived Radioactive Wastes
Author : European Communities
A comparison of the strategies for the management of radioactive waste is the subjet of the project Compas (Comparison of alternative waste management strategies for long-lived radioactive wastes). The project addressed the policies and strategies for the management of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and long-lived radioactive wastes, namely high-level waste from processing (HLW) and long-lived low and intermediate level waste (LL-LILW) , that have been developed in many of the EU Member States, Switzerland and many of the applicant countries. The comparison reflects the status of the national strategies on 1 September 2003. The report of the project addresses four aspects: - the wastes to be managed and ways of changing their properties; - the issues that have played a major role in influencing the strategies that have been adopted; - generic strategies that have been adopted or are being considered; - the issues that have been important in determining the acceptability of waste management options to stakeholders outside the nuclear industry and the main elements of the processes associated with options that are being successfully implemented or are being proposed for the future. Nearly all the countries that have participated in the propject have adopted deep geological disposal as the preferred long-term management option for spent nuclear fuel (that is not consigned for reprocessing), high-Ievel waste and long-lived radioactive waste. This option has been selected on the basis that the safety of a store for an indefinite period cannot be established and all the options that involve placing the waste away from land masses are either prohibited by international conventions or the uncertainties are considered to be too great. However, there are different perceptions of the urgency for implementing deep geological disposal that depend on national policies and social, logistical and economic issues. The incorporation of the requirement for disposal in national legislation has been an important factor in its early implementation in some countries.
United States Nuclear Waste
Author : Gregory Hall,Steven L. Greene
The Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future was chartered to recommend a new strategy for managing the back end of the nuclear fuel cycle. The Nation's failure to come to grips with the nuclear waste issue has already proved damaging and costly and it will be more damaging and more costly the longer it continues: damaging to prospects for maintaining a potentially important energy supply option for the future, damaging to state-federal relations and public confidence in the federal government's competence, and damaging to America's standing in the world -- not only as a source of nuclear technology and policy expertise but as a leader on global issues of nuclear safety, non-proliferation, and security. This book examines the use of nuclear energy as a low-carbon energy resource with a focus on the management of the nuclear fuel cycle, based on emerging technologies and developments.
Systematic Approach for Assessment of Alternative Nuclear Waste Management Strategies
A systematic approach for alternative nuclear waste management assessment is prescribed for evaluating the fate and transport of radwaste in the environment and to man. The approach consists of a system of flow dynamic and waste transport models for the physical environment, transfer models to biota, and dose models to man. Flow dynamic and waste transport models are included for computing spatial-temporal variations of the flow field and radwaste concentration in subsurface aquifers, surface water regimes, estuaries/oceans, and the atmosphere. Transfer models are linked to flow dynamic and waste transport models to study the uptake from and to the physical environment of the waste by aquatic and terrestrial biota. Dose models are used to compute both the radwaste input to man and its effects on man. With these series of computations, the radiation dose from alternative nuclear waste management strategies can be computed. Coupled with the exposure and effect analysis, the approach should facilitate the selection of the best management methodologies among many alternatives.

National Inventories and Management Strategies for Spent Nuclear Fuel and Radioactive Waste
Author : Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques
Abstract: Radioactive waste inventory data are an important element in the development of a national radioactive waste management programme since these data affect the design and selection of the ultimate disposal methods. Inventory data are generally presented as an amount of radioactive waste under various waste classes, according to the waste classification scheme developed and adopted by the country or national programme in question. Various waste classification schemes have thus evolved in most countries, and these schemes classify radioactive waste according to its origin, to criteria related to the protection of workers or to the physical, chemical and radiological properties of the waste and the planned disposal method(s). The diversity in classification schemes across countries has restricted the possibility of comparing waste inventories and led to difficulties in interpreting waste management practices, both nationally and internationally. To help improve this situation, the Nuclear Energy Agency proposed to develop a methodology that would ensure consistency of national radioactive waste inventory data when presenting them in a common scheme. This report provides such a methodology and presenting scheme for spent nuclear fuel and for waste arising from reprocessing. The extension of the methodology and presenting scheme to other types of radioactive waste and corresponding management strategies is envisaged in a second phase

The Dept. of Energy (DoE) manages more than 56 million gallons of radioactive and hazardous waste stored in 177 underground tanks at its Hanford Site in Wash. State. Many of these aging tanks have already leaked waste into the soil. Meanwhile, DoE¿s planned process for emptying the tanks and treating the waste has experienced delays, lengthening the time the tanks will store waste and intensifying concerns about the tanks¿ viability during a long cleanup process. This report addresses: (1) the condition, contents, and long-term viability of Hanford¿s underground tanks; (2) DoE¿s strategy for managing the tanks; and (3) the extent to which DoE has weighed the risks and benefits of its tank mgmt. strategy against the growing costs of that strategy.

Radioactive waste (above all highly radioactive wastes from nuclear installations) caused by research, medicine and technology must be disposed of safely. However both the strategies disputed for the disposal of radioactive waste as well as concrete proposals for choosing a location for final waste disposal are highly debatable. An appropriate disposal must conform to both complex, technical requirements and fulfill the radio-biological conditions to appropriately protect man and nature. Ethical, legal and social conditions must also be considered. An interdisciplinary team from various, relevant fields compiled the current status-quo and developed criteria and strategies, which on the one hand meet the requirements of optimal warning and prevention of risk for present and future generations, and additionally on the other hand meet the needs of what current society agrees what is expected to be allowed. This study can be understood as an advanced and continuing contribution to the corresponding scientific specialized debates, due to its interdisciplinary treatment. At the same time it serves as a fundamentally informing contribution to public and political debates, offering an easily comprehensible executive summary and precise content recommendations.

Nuclear Waste Management
Author : Mark Gaffigan
High-level nuclear waste -- one of the nation's most hazardous substances -- is accumulating at 80 sites in 35 states. The waste is supposed to be disposed of in a geologic repository at Yucca Mountain, about 100 miles northwest of Las Vegas, NV. However, the repository is more than a decade behind schedule, and the nuclear waste generally remains at the commercial nuclear reactor sites and DoE sites where it was generated. This report examines the key attributes, challenges, and costs of the Yucca Mountain repository and the two principal alternatives to a repository that nuclear waste management experts identified: storing the nuclear waste at two centralized locations and continuing to store the waste on site where it was generated.

My father grew up in a struggling family in Brooklyn, NY where his father was a member of the Kiblitcher Society, a fraternal benevolent organization of men who came from Kiblitch, Russia. When one family was experiencing hard times, the others would literally pass the hat to help.
My father, a witness to the passing of the hat, became a man of charity. As time passed and he achieved the American dream, my father was able to increase his level of philanthropy. Through his example, my siblings and I learned the joy of giving both time and money to causes we believed in. We wanted to make sure our children shared this passion for giving back to the community. So, one Thanksgiving, we gave them a challenge: Find a Thanksgiving charity to give to.
Thanksgiving is the holiday when our family comes together from all over the country. Prior to the holiday, my siblings and I sent an email to each of my parent's seven grandchildren. We told them we had created a $500 fund for them to give away. Their job was to research social service agencies or nonprofit projects that were close to their hearts and decide as a group where to donate the money. On Thanksgiving, they would agree on a plan.
The adults sat around the table during this time, trying hard not to eavesdrop. We could tell there were some heated discussions. At one point, the kids all came running in to the dining room saying they needed a computer, quick! They grabbed my father's laptop. After another short time, we heard cheering and excitement from the other room. They had come to an agreement.
I truly believe that our children are all growing up with a philanthropic gene just by being part of our larger family. Nevertheless, our Thanksgiving activity let them reenact a figurative passing of the hat, and learn the joy of giving back. They experienced first hand the Kiblitcher tradition and learned that they had the power to do some good, too.
