#1877. To: All (#1876)
It wasn’t just that July was a single-record month: the 12 months ending with July was the warmest such period since modern recordkeeping began in 1895, and the January-July 2012 period was also the warmest on record. The top 13 warmest 12-month periods since 1895 have all occurred since 1999. Brian Williams last nite: "This is not a One Off. We'll have to get used to Climate Change.

Interestingly, the Aquino Administration after just a little over one year in power was said to have summarily cancelled projects that aimed to construct flood-control infrastructure initiated by former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasig_River The Pasig River winds generally north-westward for some 25 kilometres (15.5 mi) from the Laguna de Bay, the largest lake in the Philippines, to Manila Bay, in the southern part of the island of Luzon. From the lake, the river runs between Taguig City, and Taytay, Rizal, before entering Pasig City. This portion of the Pasig River, to the confluence with the Marikina River tributary, is known as the Napindan River or Napindan Channel. From there, the river forms the common border between Makati City to the south and Pasig City, followed by Mandaluyong City to the north. The river then sharply turns northeast, where it has become the border between Mandaluyong and Manila before turning again westward, joining its other major tributary, the San Juan River, and then following a sinuous path through the center of Manila before emptying into the bay. The whole river and most portions of its tributaries lie entirely within Metro Manila, the metropolitan region of the capital. Isla de Convalescencia (14°35′26"N 120°59′20"E), the only island dividing the Pasig River, can be found in Manila and it is where the Hospicio de San Jose is located. Tributaries and canals One major river that drains Laguna de Bay is the Taguig River, which enters into Taguig before becoming the Pateros River; it is the border between the municipalities of Pateros and Makati City. Pateros River then enters the confluence where the Napindan Channel and Marikina River meet. The Marikina River is the larger of the two major tributaries of the Pasig River, and it flows southward from the mountains of Rizal and cuts through the Marikina Valley. The San Juan River drains the plateau on which Quezon City stands; its major tributary is Diliman Creek. Within the city of Manila, various esteros (canals) criss-cross through the city and connect with the Tullahan River in the north and the Parañaque River to the west. The growth of Manila along the banks of the Pasig River has made it a focal point for development and historical events. The foremost landmark on the banks of the river is the walled district of Intramuros, located near the mouth of the river on its southern bank. It was built by the Spanish colonial government in the 16th century. Further upstream is the Hospicio de San Jose, an orphanage located on Pasig's sole island, the Isla de Convalescencia. On the northern bank stands Malacañan Palace, the official residence of the President of the Philippines. Also on Pasig River's northern bank and within the Manila district of Sta. Mesa is the main campus of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines. In Makati City, along the southern bank of Pasig, is the Sta. Ana Racetrack and the Rockwell Commercial Center, a high-end office and commercial area containing the Power Plant Mall. At the confluence of the Pasig and Marikina rivers is the Napindan Hydraulic Control Structure, which regulates the flow of water from the Napindan Channel. The Pasig River's main watershed is concentrated in the plains between Manila Bay and Laguna de Bay. The watershed of the Marikina River tributary mostly occupies the Marikina Valley, which was formed by the Marikina Fault Line. The Manggahan Floodway is an artificially constructed waterway that aims to reduce the flooding in the Marikina Valley during the rainy season, by bringing excess water to the Laguna de Bay. Tidal flows The Pasig River is technically considered a tidal estuary. Toward the end of the summer or dry season (April and May), the water level in Laguna de Bay reaches to a minimum of 10.5 meters. During times of high tide, the water level in the lake may drop below that of Manila Bay's, resulting in a reverse flow of seawater from the bay into the lake. This results in increased pollution and salinity levels in Laguna de Bay at this time of the year.[1] Flooding The Pasig River is vulnerable to flooding in times of very heavy rainfall, with the Marikina River tributary the main source of the floodwater. The Manggahan Floodway was constructed to divert excess floodwater from the Marikina River into the Laguna de Bay, which serves as a temporary reservoir. By design, the Manggahan Floodway is capable of handling 2,400 cubic meters per second of water flow, although the actual flow is about 2,000 cubic meters per second. To complement the floodway, the Napindan Hydraulic Control System (NHCS) was built in 1983 at the confluence of the Marikina River and the Napindan Channel to regulate the flow of water between the Pasig River and the lake.[2] Before the mass urbanization of Manila, the Pasig River served as an important means of transport; it was the city's lifeline and center of economic activity. Some of the most prominent kingdoms in early Philippine history, including the kingdoms of Namayan, Maynila, and Tondo grew up along the banks of the river, drawing their life and source of wealth from it. When the Spanish established Manila as the capital of their colonial properties in the Far East, they built the walled city of Intramuros on the southern bank of Pasig River near its mouth. After World War II, massive population growth, infrastructure construction, and the dispersal of economic activities to Manila's suburbs left the river neglected. The banks of the river attracted informal settlers and the remaining factories dumped their wastes into the river, making it effectively a huge sewer system. Industrialization had already polluted the river.[3] In the 1930s, observers noticed the increasing pollution of the river, as fish migration from Laguna de Bay diminished. People ceased using the river's water for laundering in the 1960s, and ferry transport declined. By the 1970s, the river started to emanate offensive smells, and in the 1980s, fishing in the river was prohibited. By the 1990s, the Pasig River was considered biologically dead[3] Bankoff, Gregg (2003). "Constructing Vulnerability: The Historical, Natural and Social Generation of Flooding in Metropolitan Manila," Disasters, 27(3): 95–109. "Metro Manila is situated in a semi-alluvial floodplain formed by sediment flow from the Meycauayan and Malabon-Tullahan river basins in the north and the Marikina river basin in the east. It encompasses a land area of 636 square kilometres, measuring about 20 kilometres in length along a north-south axis and stretching more than 22 kilometres at its widest. The conurbation is open to Manila Bay on the west and to Laguna de Bay, a large lake, on the south-east. As such, the metropolitan area now constitutes a vast urbanised drainage basin that experiences frequent inundations from overflowing rivers and storm waters that render the existing system of esteros (modified natural channels) and canals constructed during the Spanish and American colonial periods inadequate. Despite the growing vulnerability of much of the metropolitan area, however, rapid urbanisation has continued unabated with residential homes, industries and commercial sites increasingly exposed to flood-related destruction." While flooding variously affects all areas of Manila, some cities and municipalities are more vulnerable than others due to their location and height relative to sea level. Some 20 per cent of the capital’s 63,600 square hectares is designated as flood prone, of which 5,385 square hectares (41 per cent) are served by pumping stations and the remaining 7,715 square hectares (59 per cent) suffer frequent and long lasting inundation. Areas to the east, south-east and south of the capital around Marikina, Pasig, Mandaluyong, Muntinlupa and Parañaque and especially those adjacent to Laguna de Bay such as Taguig and Pateros are acutely susceptible to flooding. n some particularly exposed cities such as Muntinlupa and Taguig, all barangays (the basic unit of local government) are regularly inundated and the coverage of flooding extends to 88 per cent and 83 per cent of their respective land areas. Flooding is not a recent hazard in the Philippines but one that has occurred throughout the recorded history of the archipelago: it is the result of the low-lying nature of much of the terrain and the frequency of typhoons. These typhoons do not necessarily constitute hazards as such and are, in fact, responsible for a significant percentage of the annual rainfall that makes the islands so fertile and thus ideal for agriculture. This fertility, in turn, encourages or at least permits demographic growth and the location of people in large cities such as Metro Manila. The demands of this steadily expanding urban population for basic amenities such as water, together with the nature of modern development, generate environmental problems like accelerated subsidence and garbage disposal that, in conjunction with the torrential rainfall associated with tropical storms, aggravates the incidence and severity of flooding in the metropolitan area. The concentration of employment, educational and health among other opportunities in the ‘big city’ only spurs more rural-to-urban migration, creates shortages of suitable residential land and encourages the occupation of areas more prone to flooding or that have important drainage functions. The actions of governments and the technological solutions they mainly favour have only limited outcomes and may actually aggravate conditions usually to the disadvantage of the most vulnerable poor, whether urban or rural. The construction of vulnerability to flood in Metro Manila, therefore, clearly shows how societies and destructive agents are very much mutually constituted and embedded in natural and social systems as unfolding processes over time. Heavy rain is no surprise in the Philippines - the country typically gets at least 20 typhoons a year - and some claim that global climate change is making the problem worse. Even if that view is wrong, clearly more can be done to diminish the effect of extreme rains, in Manila and across the country. To be sure, the country is a poor one, but that does not excuse the official failure to learn from history, notably from the 2009 Manila flooding which killed at least 460. Despite solemn promises made then, low-lying shantytowns continue to grow, and rubbish dumped by their residents clogs drainage canals and sewers. Around the city, meanwhile, forested areas capable of retaining water in the soil, are being cleared to build suburbs for the affluent.
" There are some scoundrels, however, who purposely clog the drainage pipes of some streets precisely to induce floods. Why? So that vehicles will stall in the floods and they will earn by pushing the stalled vehicles to higher ground. Or they can earn fees from pedestrians who do not want to get their feet wet to use the wooden planks that they have laid above the water. Or they can ferry them from dry ground to dry ground on their pushcarts—for a fee. Trabaho lang, they will tell you. That is par for the course in low-lying areas like España. But what about V. Luna street in Quezon City that was never flooded before? Why was it suddenly flooded one day so that many vehicles stalled and had to be pushed to higher ground by men waiting there? Workers of the MMDA found the drainage pipes blocked with rocks and garbage. Were the rocks lodged there by the floodwaters or purposely placed there to block the drainage pipe and cause the flooding?"
" In a comment on my colleague Floyd Whaley’s story in The New York Times, Tomas Gomez III of Calbayog called metropolitan Manila an “abused space.” “It is engaged in self-strangulation by not consciously decongesting and redistributing its population,” Mr. Gomez said. “Slums and squatter colonies predominate much of the terrain, occupying what used to be open canals/streams, river tributaries and even riverbanks themselves. Clogging of natural drainage arteries is the tolerated norm. It is beyond its carrying capacity and for a long time now has been bursting at the seams.”
Too Late. Never Mind. We're Done....;} " "Once a threshold-induced planetary state shift occurs, there's no going back. So, if a system switches to a new state because you've added lots of energy, even if you take out the new energy, it won't revert back to the old system. The planet doesn't have any memory of the old state." These projections contradict the popularly held belief that the extent to which human-induced pressures, such as climate change, are destroying our planet is still debatable, and any collapse would be both gradual and centuries away. This study concludes we better not exceed the 50 per cent mark of wholesale transformation of Earth's surface or we won't be able to delay, never mind avert, a planetary collapse. We've already reached the 43 per cent mark through our conversion of landscapes into agricultural and urban areas, making Earth increasingly susceptible to an environmental epidemic."

Aleppo: Conflicting stories and the truth 10.08.2012 Again the western media is manipulating the facts, sifting through footage taken in recent weeks, showing out-of-date clips of tanks being commandeered by terrorists, then after their murderous filth was chased out of Damascus, they paint a rosy story of Aleppo. The truth so obviously hurts, hence the lies. Here is the full truth and nothing but. The Free Syrian Terrorist Force is, sorry to spoil the fun, certainly not composed by Syrians. Around 75 per cent of them are foreign mercenaries, murderers, "ex-SAS", "ex-French special forces", Libyan rapists, murderers and torturers, and so on, complete with the hierarchy composed of Iraqis and Turks and the token Syrian for the cameras. Secondly, and sorry to spoil the fun again, things are not going very well for this western-backed scourge and their western masters, furiously scratching their heads as to what to do next. After Libya, with nobody believing a word London, Washington or Paris says any more, and after the foreign policy disaster in Iraq, invading outside the UNSC, what can they do, except keep on sending foreign mercenaries and murderers to their deaths inside Syria?
Western leaders slip back into their childhood by Thierry Meyssan The slogan "Bashar must go!" was supposed to be chanted by crowds of protesters in Damascus and Aleppo.

From Wiki: [quote] * [edit] History Paktia is basically Pashtia (پښتیا). Some Pashtun scholars are claiming that the word Pashtu has been stemmed from Pashtia (پښتو = پښتیا). Paktia used to be a unified province with Khost and Paktika, these three provinces are now referred to as Loya Paktia, meaning "Greater Paktia". Paktia came to prominence during the 1980s, when a significant portion of Afghanistan's leadership originated from the province. Some of the more notable leaders include: Najibullah Ahmadzai, a former President of Afghanistan, Mohammad Aslam Watanjar, Shahnawaz Tanai, and Sayed Muhammad Gulabzoi. More recently, Paktia was the site of heavy fighting between Taliban and NATO forces following the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan.

It also marked the first time that Air National Guard ground units, particularly pararescue personnel and air combat controllers, were used to support joint ground combat operations. As part of Enduring Freedom, in March 2002 a joint military operation named "Anaconda" was mounted in Paktia province to surround and defeat Taliban forces hiding in the area. On the third day of Operation Anaconda an Army MH-47E Chinook helicopter was fired upon as it attempted to land on a ridge on Takur Ghar mountain. Taking heavy fire, the helicopter lurched and attempted to take-off to extricate itself from the field of fire. When the Chinook lurched, one of the Navy SEALs on board, Petty Officer First Class Neil C. Roberts, fell from the rear ramp. Too damaged to return for Petty Officer Roberts, the Chinook landed further down the mountain. A second MH-47E attempted to land and rescue Roberts, but it too was fired upon and forced to leave the immediate area. The third MH-47E to attempt a landing on what became known as Roberts’ Ridge was hit with automatic weapons fire and rocket-propelled grenades while still 20 feet in the air. The helicopter, containing an Army Ranger Team and Technical Sergeant Keary Miller, a Combat Search and Rescue Team Leader from the 123d Special Tactics Squadron, Kentucky Air National Guard, hit the ground hard. Within seconds, one helicopter crewman, the right door gunner, was killed, as were three Army Rangers. The 17-hour ordeal that followed would result in the loss of seven American lives, including Petty Officer Roberts. Technical Sergeant Miller not only managed to drag the wounded helicopter pilot to safety, but also orchestrated the establishment of multiple casualty collection points. In between treating the wounded, Miller set up the distribution of ammunition for the Army Rangers who were taking the fight to the enemy. For his extraordinary life-saving efforts while putting himself in extreme danger under enemy fire, Technical Sergeant Miller was awarded the Silver Star by the U.S. Navy, one of the few members of the Air National Guard to be so honored.

The terrain in and around the valley is notoriously rugged, located at a mean altitude of 9,000 feet (2,700 m). Shah-i-Kot means "Place of the King" and it has historically been a redoubt for Afghan guerrillas hiding from foreign invaders. The area was the scene of fierce fighting between the Afghan mujahideen rebels and Soviet forces during the Afghan-Soviet War, as the fiere battle for Hill 3234. It was also the scene of what was then the largest battle of the U.S.-Afghan War to date.[1][2][3] The Battle of Shah-i-Kot took place during Operation Anaconda, which began on 2 March 2002.[/quote] And WHY talk about the above?

This large base was located and occupied by a large contingent in the desert of Rahman Khel from where the invaders carried out operations in Mamozi, Shah-i-Kot, Arma district and other areas. The cowardly invaders were finally forced to vacate their recently built base due to constant missile attacks for the past few years.

Remember Ia Drang Valley? And the We Were Soldiers movie based on it? Where Mel Gibson gets the message that he will be pulled out so as not to lose a Major? So how does the Command Sergeant Major, and two other Majors get blown away with a retired military USAID man and the perp just walks away. Security? A Brigade not enough? LMFAO
All Fools' Day: "For lethal Bibi, that’s obviously not enough. It doesn’t matter that technically and logistically Israel simply does not have what it takes to conduct a successful strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Take a look at this concise infographics. For starters, Israel does not have the latest generation MOP GBU-57A bunker buster bombs to hit deep underground Iranian installations. It does not have the Northrop Grumman’s B-2 stealth bombers to deliver them. And it does not have enough Lockheed Martin KC-130 aerial tankers (only 5; the US has 80) for refueling its attacking F-15s and F-16s. There is no evidence the Obama administration will be authorizing the Pentagon to supply all of the above to the Bibi-Barak duo anytime soon. And let’s introduce a little bit of sanity into this madness, courtesy of Russian foreign minister Primakov, who tells it like it is:; go ahead, attack Iran; and then, inevitably, they will go for a bomb. Is Turkey about to enter the 9th (Kurdish) circle of hell? Clinton has just been to Turkey in a very Libyan “We came, we saw, he died” mood; it’s as if she was replaying her Angel of Death role, presiding over the imminent demise of Assad.

Iraq had NO problems with electricity until the Battle of Baghdad Airport. Since then...... "When we follow the game at home, every five minutes the electricity is gone," said Lami, a 37-year-old truck driver who was at a cafe in central Baghdad to watch Olympic football. The Iraqi national grid only supplies a few hours of electricity per day, interrupted by multi-hour outages, and Iraqis either have to make up the shortfall with private generators or do without electricity during the cuts. "The electricity in Iraq has become like a chronic disease, and all the people are suffering," said Lami, an ardent football fan who was sitting with five of his children around a table near a television showing the Olympics, smoking flavored tobacco from a water pipe." Why did we invade Iraq? Why are we Bestest buddies with Al qaeda now? Feel like a putz? 8D
SYrian "rebel" brandishing looted Christian cross and vestments. So the Israeli/CIa Al Qaeda is randomly terrorizing/killing Christians, but the zioFundies think that's A-OK. ;} Lebanon, then facing divisive chaos, was Yinon’s model for the entire Middle East. Yinon wrote: “Lebanon’s total dissolution into five provinces serves as a precedent for the entire Arab world including Egypt, Syria, Iraq and the Arabian Peninsula and is already following that track. The dissolution of Syria and Iraq later on into ethnically or religiously unique areas such as in Lebanon, is Israel’s primary target on the Eastern front in the long run, while the dissolution of the military power of those states serves as the primary short term target.” link
Saturday, August 11, 2012 Israel's Colony, the USSA Strikes Again “When the world looks at America, what it sees is an Israeli colony.” Paul Craig Roberts Photobucket Are there any Americans left in the USSA that put America first or have we become so dumbed down and brainwashed by Zionist propaganda that we act like a bunch of trained seals, clapping loudly for more wars to protect Apartheid Israel from reality and advance the Zionist agenda?
Your Navy at work.....;} Print US Navy ship collides with oil tanker in Persian Gulf Posted on August 12, 2012 by Angel - NYC Houston Chronicle DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer was left with a gaping hole on one side after it collided with an oil tanker early Sunday just outside the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The collision left a breach about 10 feet by 10 feet (three by three meters) in the starboard side of USS Porter. No one was injured on either vessel, the U.S. Navy said in a statement. The collision with the Panamanian-flagged and Japanese-owned bulk oil tanker M/V Otowasan happened about 1 a.m. local time. Photos released by the Navy showed workers standing amid twisted metal and other debris hanging down from the hole. The cause of the incident is under investigation, the Navy said, though the collision was not “combat related.” There were no reports of spills or leakages from either the USS Porter or the Otowasan, the Navy said.
The next Israel attack signals it's Doom: Mon Aug 13, 2012 1:58AM GMT By Ismail Salami But if Israel ever ventures into a military strike against Iran, it must ask itself this question first: how many Iranian missiles can the Zionist entity take 10,000? 20,000? 50,000? 100,000? 150,000 or more?" “Why on earth is the Zionist regime making threats against Iran? How many missiles have they prepared themselves for? 10,000? 20,000? 50,000? 100,000? 150,000 or more?" These words were expressed in full force on November 27, 2011 by Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi.
