USA Today – Nov 22, 2007
In Santa Rosa County a travel trailer tipped onto an adjacent outbuilding and one mobile home and two residences were damaged though the extent is unclear. And part of a brick wall in one residence fell down according to the National Weather Service. “This damage may be a result of a tornado” Bob Duggan of the Tallahassee National Weather Service said. ‘ A formal storm survey has yet to be conducted. Because of the Thanksgiving holiday the survey may be completed on Friday or early next week. A tornado warning had been issued for the area Wednesday and was lifted at midnight.

First metal cut on BAE’s ‘Taranis’ robot stealth bomber

“It is also about informing the basis the future RAF and potential future military capability” he apparently added. The MoD says:Deep and Persistent Offensive Capability (DPOC) [will] enable the timely engagement of static and mobile targets deep behind enemy lines. Additionally there will be a capability shortfall created by Tornado GR4 being withdrawn from service around 2025. An Unmanned Combat Air System (UCAS) is a potential cost-effective solution. Dropping exploding things on targets “deep behind enemy lines” is the main reason the RAF is an independent service not part of the army or navy. This is critical stuff for the men in light blue. However aircrews risking their lives over hostile territory also constitute much of the basis for the air force’s status as a combatant uniformed organisation… This is critical stuff for the men in light blue. However aircrews risking their lives over hostile territory also constitute much of the basis for the air force’s status as a combatant uniformed organisation. If the Tornado is replaced by a flying stealth robot the generation of manned strike jets going into service now could be the last. The RAF of 2040 might then find its people working almost entirely in safe secure air bases – perhaps even in the UK. Pilots handling robot planes over Afghanistan today are often seated in America. Safe rear-echelon military activities are increasingly being outsourced. Furthermore service in a combatant job involving potential danger is rightly seen as an essential box for a uniformed military officer to tick if he or she aspires to high command.
Aquarium Wins FEMA Pay for Fishing Trips
New York Times – Nov 22, 2007
“The Stafford Act does have requirements that cause projects to be held up in red tape” Ms. Hurricane Katrina knocked out power to the aquarium in August 2005. Staff members returned four days after the city’s mandatory evacuation to find sharks tropical fish jellyfish and thousands of other creatures dead in their tanks. Aquarium managers said they had to reopen quickly to get revenue flowing. So even before FEMA considered the case some aquarium staff members went fishing snorkeling and scuba diving from January to May 2006 catching tiny highhat fish yellowtail snapper and others. The state sought reimbursement arguing that salmon hatcheries in Oregon and laboratory rats in Texas were replaced with FEMA money after disasters in 1994 and 2001.
