Global warming boost to glaciers

Effects contrary to popular opinion.

Glacier size is driven more by precipitation levels than by temperature. But the Al Gore's of the world drag glacial melting into the global warming debate because it gives an easy and simple example. Ice melts on a hot day, glaciers are ice, therefore if glaciers are melting if must be because of hot days. The reality is not that simple.

"Constructed out of light transmitting concrete with transparent sliding ..."

"The transparent sliding plates have been constructed of reinforced, environmentally friendly polycarbonate sheets with coloured LCD layers in the sheets allowing for opacity when the car owner switches on the privacy mode."

Transparent aluminum can't be that far off.

Inside the Ring�-�Nation/Politics�-�The Washington Times, America's Newspaper

Good things to hear... exerpts from page 2:

A good sign in the war on terror: U.S. Army Special Operations Command in June met its annual goal for signing up Green Beret candidates — three months before the fiscal year ends Sept. 30. ... "We feel the quality has not slipped a single bit," a defense source said.

'Hiring Heroes'
For those who doubt the Pentagon cares about its severely wounded veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, you need only travel to one of the military's "Hiring Heroes" job fairs.
The sixth one — the first two-day event — was held this week at Fort Gordon in August, Ga. About 250 wounded soldiers from bases in the Southeast participated, along with counselors and employers.
Counselors showed the men and women how to complete resumes and conduct job interviews. On the second day, the vets met with prospective employers from the federal government and private industry, including defense contractors. The Pentagon was authorized to hire on the spot.
"The one prevalent attitude was one of gratitude that 'somebody cares,'" said a person who attended the job fair.
Sponsored by the U.S. Army and the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the next "Hiring Heroes" will be Sept. 19-20 at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio.

Making quotas
The Army announced yesterday it has met its monthly recruiting goal for the 14th straight month.
"In the first ten months of fiscal year 2006, more soldiers have re-enlisted in the Army, 109,056, than can fit in the Rose Bowl. Two out of three soldiers eligible to re-enlist, continue to re-enlist," a statement said.
