This is JOTW newsletter number 907
This newsletter begins another year of publication. JOTW began with the
first week of 2001 and was sent to 38 charter subscribers (most of which
are still on board).
“Every day, think as you wake up, Today I am fortunate to have woken up,
I am alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I
am going to use All my energies to develop myself, To expand my heart
out to others, To achieve enlightenment for The benefit of all beings, I
am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get
angry, Or think badly about others, I am going to benefit others As much
as I can.”
– Dalai Lama
*** www.nedsjotw.com is in the process of migrating from the Blog
Harbor platform where it has been for the last several years since the
JOTW site first went online to a WordPress platform. When you go to the
site it will look different. It does for me. So I’ll be learning how
to use WordPress over the next few weeks as Woody Goulart coaches me.
The companion sites of www.yourdefcon1.com and www.yourverynextstep.com
are also undergoing a metamorphic transformation.

*** Surface Warships 2012
Exploring the Future of Global Surface Combatant Fleets In a highly
uncertain strategic environment, the ability to use the majority of the
world’s surface, and reach most of its population makes maritime forces
those of choice for the world’s main actors and their allies – and
surface warships are key components of such forces. Their need to police
the oceans against the dual threats of terrorism and piracy make surface
warship programmes a crucial and indispensable part of the future
maritime environment.
Surface Warships will provide the ideal environment for industry and

About the Organization
World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is the largest network of multinational
conservation organizations in the world. WWF works in 100 countries and
is supported by 1.2 million members in the United States and close to 5
million globally. WWF acts at every level, from local to global, to
ensure the delivery of innovative solutions that meet the needs of both
people and nature.
The Arctic is one of 19 priority regions supported by WWF-US. The WWF-US
Arctic Field Program contributes to the goals of a Global Arctic
Program: conservation of Arctic ecosystems, species, and cultural
values. Our strategies include science-based planning that incorporates
climate change considerations, promoting stewardship in Arctic
governance, and advocating for responsible practices, including marine
protection, in the shipping and offshore oil development sectors. The US
Arctic Field Program pursues these goals through three main initiatives:
• Fish Forever: WWF focuses on protecting habitat for wild salmon in
priority areas such as Alaska’s Bristol Bay and Russia’s Kamchatka
Peninsula, advocating for sustainable fishing practices and the
reduction of bycatch in Bering Sea fisheries, and promoting measures to
protect the integrity and productivity of key marine and coastal
ecosystems.
• Arctic Oceans Protection: WWF argues for preventing offshore oil and
gas development until adequate oil spill response technology is in
place, sensitive areas are protected, and critical gaps in our
understanding of these Arctic ecosystems have been filled.
• Arctic Bridge: WWF staff work across the maritime boundaries of the
Chukchi, Beaufort, and Bering Seas to engage communities, NGOs, and
