Proverbs chapter 8 uses a personification of Wisdom. Some people take this personification as a description of God, or of the Messiah. Is there any textual justification for this?
This personification of Wisdom can't refer to either God or to the messiah. Verse 8:22 says: God made Wisdom, so Wisdom can't be God. (God didn't make God; God just always was.) Under Christianity, the messiah is part of God and so this can't mean the messiah either. Under Judaism, the messiah will be an ordinary man -- definitely not God, and also far from the first thing God created. So if Wisdom isn't God or the messiah, what is she? Consider the following verses: Wisdom is Torah, the law. (The word "torah" literally means "teaching" or "instruction".) |

Actually, So turns 26 this year, not 25, but that's how our man Peter Gabriel rolls. (He's commemorating the anniversary of the accompanying tour.) No matter semantics: The So 25th Anniversary Immersion Box is sooo worth every nickel, comprised of four CDs (one remastered So, two discs of Live in Athens 1987, and a fascinating disc of in-progress material dubbed So DNA), two DVDs (one with the Athens performance in 5.1, the other being the Classic Albums documentary that's also shown above), the So LP, and a 12-incher with three rare tracks. Sing it: Big time, so much larger than life!
I caught the Back to Front tour celebrating the So anniversary at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on September 21. The house mix was courtesy of longtime PG collaborator, front-of-house sound engineer Ben Findlay. When the So portion of the 136-minute set commenced, I was instantly immersed in the one-two punch of "Red Rain" (with Tony Levin donning those magical Funk Fingers to attack his bass while Manu Katché's snare-drum hits got me square in the chest) and "Sledgehammer" (with Gabriel mock-slamming his fists to both sides of his head on the audience-reinforced chorus). Back to Front was truly exhilarating from, well, front to back.
The Stones went Gold in 2012, celebrating their 50th anniversary mainly in the latter half of the year. More hooplah, releases, and (we hope) additional live dates are pegged for 2013 — the band's "real" 50th anniversary according to Keith Richards, who feels the Stones really came into being when Charlie Watts first got behind the drum kit in February 1963.
GRRR! Greatest Hits (ABKCO/ Interscope/UMe) is, sigh, the umpteenth Stones hits collection, but one of its two new tracks, "Doom and Gloom," is a 4-minute barn- burner: the Mick Jagger-strummed intro riff is an admitted cop of/homage to Richards's signature style, and it unleashes its bite in the right channel with a nice counter in the left for 6 seconds before Mick Jagger enters the fray to unspool his bilious rap. The way he stretches "daaaaaance" out in the choruses is pure vintage Mick. The other new track, "One More Shot," opens with a riff reminiscent of Keef's late-'80s solo track "Take It So Hard" before slinking into that patented Stones on-the-brink pocket no one else can do.
While both releases are avail- able in multiple audio and video formats, I much prefer double 180-gram vinyl for Some Girls: Live in Texas '78 (Eagle) and Muddy Waters and the Rolling Stones' Live at the Checkerboard Lounge Chicago 1981 (Eagle). Texas '78 displays the right amount of grit for Side A's "Star Star" and Side B's "Shattered," while Muddy and Mick madly mesh classic blues and modern honk on "Champagne and Reefer" to close Side D of Checkerboard. Here's to rolling along for another 50, lads.
The recently unearthed Peter Whitehead-directed 65-minute film Charlie Is My Darling: Ireland 1965 (ABKCO) is a treasure from another era, when the beggars were just beginning to take over the rock banquet. The Super Deluxe Box Set version is the one to get: Besides a Blu-ray (and DVD) of the B&W film, you get two soundtrack CDs and a 10-inch LP, which culls 13 songs from three March 1965 dates in England. The back-to-back-to-back in-their-element groove of "Little Red Rooster," "Route 66," and "I'm Moving On" anchor Side 2 and masterfully showcase the blues roots of the band's roll.
Mike Mettler has been Editor-In-Chief of Sound & Vision since January 2006, and has been on staff since (gulp) 1989. An unrepentant audiophile, he spends many a sleepless night trying to reconcile his undying love for vinyl records and surround sound with his iPod and iPad obsessions. Someday, he hopes to own a turquoise 1967 Mustang fastback.

Blog Posts for Genealogists, May 24, 2013
Following are some recent genealogy blog posts that I enjoyed reading. I would like to share them with you; I believe you will find them interesting and informative.
Kirk Woosley Patton is a native Kentuckian, and runs Fincastle Ancestry Research. In his blog recently he wrote about the Appalachian Mountains. Kirk discusses a very important point that many researchers forget: geography is important. The Appalachians proved a formidable barrier to western migration.
The Catholic Gene blog is run by a group of researchers involved in researching Catholic ancestors. Denise Levenick wrote a post on The Books They Leave Behind: Preserving Family Bibles and Religious Books. It is a great primer on how to take care of old family books. Perhaps her most significant observation: "Avoid storing books or other family keepsakes in basements, garages or attics where extreme temperature and humidity changes can cause permanent damage."
Richard Phillips wrote a great post last week on the Civil War Emancipation blog. One hundred fifty years ago, the Confederate Congress passed the Confederate Retaliatory Act. The act reinforced an earlier proclamation by Jefferson Davis that black Union soldiers would be denied the usual protections of prisoners, and white officers of such regiments would be charged under state laws with inciting servile insurrection.
My friend Michael John Neill writes several blogs. One of my favorites is the Daily Genealogy Transcriber. Each day he provides small handwriting samples to help people practice reading old records. This week, his Who is Buying and Selling? Post is a great example of how you need to understand the rules of writing in the time period in order to read the words properly.
Finally, this week wraps up with a post by Randy Seaver. On Monday he talked about an extremely significant collection of records that was just released by FamilySearch. Those with New England ancestors were excited this week to learn of the release of land records from all 14 counties in Massachusetts. The database is not yet searchable, so Randy walks you through the process of accessing the materials in Massachusetts Land Records, 1620 – 1986, Available on FamilySearch—Digital Microfilm.
Mononcle Eloi: The Ultimate Sacrifice
As this week comes to a close, in America we are preparing to celebrate Memorial Day. It is a day where we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country in the armed forces. Last year I wrote about my grandfather's cousin, Albert Leclerc, who died at the age of 19 in World War II. This year, I would like to share the story of my maternal grandfather's uncle, Eloi Morin.
My great-grandfather, Anselme Morin, was the eldest son of Onésime Morin and his second wife, Céline Pelletier of the small town of Saint Calixte de Kilkenny, in the mountainous region north of the Saint Lawrence River across from Montreal. Mononcle Eloi (mononcle is French for uncle) was born there September 10, 1887, the eighth of Onésime and Céline's eleven children, and their youngest son.
Shortly before the turn of the century, the family moved to the mill village of North Grosvenordale in the town of Thompson, Windham County, Connecticut. Eloi was fourteen years old when his parents died only months apart in 1902. Eloi and the others worked in the cotton mills in Thompson.
He was living in the village of Taftsville in the town of Norwich in 1917 and working in the Ponomah Mills when he registered for the draft in World War I. He was described as medium height and build, with brown eyes and light brown hair. He was thirty years old, single, and living with another single man.
Although a British subject, Eloi enlisted as a private in the U.S. Army, and was assigned to the 116th Regiment of the 29th Infantry Division. This division was known as the "Blue and Gray," because it was based out of Virginia and contained men from states on both sides of the Civil War. Eloi's unit was sent to Europe in the summer of 1918.
They immediately were involved in heavy action in France. In September they were part of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. During the offensive, the 116th saw massive casualties. One of the casualties was Mononcle Eloi, who died On October 21. He is buried in the Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery in Romagne, France. The cemetery holds the largest number of American military dead in Europe, 14,246. The vast majority of these are victims of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive.
My grandfather, Theodore Edward Morin was the twelfth of Anselme's thirteen children. He was born in North Grosvernordale on March 23, 1915. Eloi served as godfather for his nephew. When he enlisted, Eloi named my grandfather Eddie as his beneficiary. Because Eddie was a minor, the funds were held in trust by the court.
My great-grandfather died in 1920 at the age of 44, leaving his widow with thirteen children. Records in North Grosvenordale show that that she repeatedly petitioned the court for some of the money, which she used to help feed her family. The majority of the money, however, came to my grandfather when he turned twenty-one.
Theodore Edward Morin married Marie Cèa Yvette Ruel at St. Matthieu's church in Central Falls, Rhode Island, on August 10, 1933, when they were both eighteen years old. They worked in the mills there. Three years later, they received the money from the trust. They used it to buy a small farmhouse in the town of Cumberland, which was more rural, so that their children wouldn't have to grow up in the city.
There was an archway between the hallway and the living room of my grandparents' house. My grandparents hung a portrait of Mononcle Eloi, dressed in his military uniform, on the wall in their living room. My grandfather died in December 1969. My grandmother kept the portrait up, and it was still hanging their when my grandmother died, almost half a century after my grandparents bought the house. She never forgot that it was Eloi's generosity that allowed she and Eddie to raise their family in the country, rather than the city. This year on Memorial Day, I will pause to remember the dramatic difference this man made in my mother's family.
The First Steamship to Cross the Atlantic
Many Americans and Canadians are descended from those who immigrated here in great waves during the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. These people crowded into the steerage decks in the bowels of steamships, escaping poverty and looking for opportunity in a new world. But the age of steamship travel was actually ushered in decades before the mass transportation that began with a race between the Washington and Britannia in 1847.
Robert Fulton's first steamboat voyage took place in 1807. Captain Moses Rogers took note of this. In 1818, the Savannah was being built in New York when Rogers convinced the shipping firm of Scarbrough and Isaacs from Savannah, Georgia, to purchase her. He persuaded the company to convert her from a sailing packet to a steamship to make the first transatlantic steamship service.
In addition to her rigging, she was outfitted with a steam engine and paddle wheels. The wheels' paddles were made with chains instead of bars to hold the paddles. In that way, they wheels could be removed from the water and stored on deck when not in use. Savannah was not a large ship, and could not carry enough fuel to run on steam power for the entire trip. She was designed for the engine to carry the ship along when the winds died, and sailing ships were left immobile in the water.
Savannah was outfitted with sixteen staterooms. Each stateroom had two births, allowing her to carry up to thirty-two passengers. Quarters for women and men were separated. There were three fully-furnished salons for the passengers. Her accommodations were considered quite luxurious for a packet ship.
She made her initial trial in New York harbor on March 22, 1819. She cruised for two hours, testing her engines also. On March 28, 1819, she set sail for her home port of Savannah, Georgia. She reached port on April 6, having used the steam engine for 4.5 hours of the trip. On May 11, President James Madison, on a tour of arsenals and fortifications along the coast, took a tour on Savannah. Her maiden voyage was set for May 20, but was delayed when one of her crew, arriving back to the ship drunk, fell off the gangplank and drowned.
There was great fear among the public about the ship. In New York, she was called a "steam coffin," and Captain Rogers had to go to Connecticut to outfit her with a crew. In Georgia, the fear continued. No merchants were willing to place cargo on what they considered to be such a risky venture. And no passengers were willing to risk their lives on the voyage. Sadly, she left on her maiden voyage on May 24 with only her crew aboard.
On her voyage she passed numerous vessels. More than one of the ships, seeing smoke on the horizon, gave chase thinking that it was a vessel on fire. None were able to overtake the ship. On June 18, she was stuck off the coast of Cork, having previously used all of her fuel and with no wind to carry her. Hundreds of boats of all sizes sailed out to meet her. On June 20 she made her way into Liverpool harbor.
During her European stay, she visited Sweden and Russia as well, where the Prince of Sweden and Norway and the Emperor of Russia visited her. She remained in Europe for three months, departing for home on September 29. After being away more than six months, she arrived back home on November 30, 1819.
Unfortunately, a massive fire swept through the city of Savannah in January 1820, and the ship's owners were forced to sell her. Her new owner removed the engine and sold it. She then went into service as a packet ship running between Savannah and New York. Unfortunately, she ran aground on Long Island on November 5, 1821, and was broken up.
This week marks the 194th anniversary of Savannah historic voyage. In her short life, she proved that it was possible to cross the ocean in a steamship. Unfortunately it was not yet economical because of the amount of fuel a steam engine required. In addition, the public was fearful of going out on the open sea in a steamship. It would take almost three more decades for these issues to be resolved and for commercial steamship travel to become viable.
Preserve the Pensions To Give Away Research Trips
The Preserve The Pensions Project has announced that it is running a Genealogy Road Trip Contest. The Project is looking to generate more support for the project.
Preserve the Pensions is a joint venture of the National Archives and Records Administration, the Federation of Genealogical Societies, and Ancestry.com. The project was started last year to commemorate the Bicentennial of the start of the War of 1812.
The Project is working to digitize the pension files for those who served in the War of 1812, which are among the most-requested items at the National Archives. The goal is to digitize 180,000 files, creating 7.2 million images. These records will then be made available online to the public for free. At this point, more than 586,000 images have been created. The images are being uploaded incrementally as they are being created.
This week they are giving away $2,800 worth of prizes, including two genealogy research trips. The trips are to either the Family History Library in Salt Lake City or the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The prizes include one week's accommodation, a $200 meal card, and a $50 copy card for the repository.
You can enter the contest by liking the Project's Facebook page, or by subscribing to the e-newsletter.
It costs $0.45 to digitize each page. Ancestry.com has generously agreed to cover the costs of 50% of the digitizing. With this gift, a donation of $45 will cover the costs of digitizing 200 images. Every penny counts, and all images will always be available for free to the public, so consider making a donation. As an added incentive, if you donate between now and August, you will be entered into a drawing to win a beautiful handmade quilt.
The Last Angel of Bataan: Celebrating an American Hero
Every day we lose another member of the Greatest Generation — those who fought in ways large and small to defend freedom in the world during World War II. There are many stories and heroes that came from the war, and too many of them have been forgotten, especially those involving women. One of those, Mildred (Dalton) Manning, died at the age of 98 in March. She was the last surviving member of a brave group of women, the Angels of Bataan and Corregidor.
After the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, they turned their attention to the Philippines. The United States had large bases there. U.S. Army and Navy nurses were stationed at Stanberg General Hospital in Manila, as well as other hospitals nearby. A few weeks later, at the start of the Battle of the Phillippines, 88 nurses escaped from Manila to Bataan and Corregidor. Eleven Navy nurses were captured and sent to a Japanese internment camp at Santo Tomas.
Many of the nurses who escaped were assigned to hospitals in Bataan. For four months, they tended patients in open-air wards in the middle of the oppressive jungle. Over the course of the next four months, they administered to 6,000 patients, dealing not only with wounds and injuries but malaria, dysentery and more.
In April 1942, as Bataan was about to fall, those nurses were ordered to the island fortress at Corregidor. There, hospital wards were located in tunnels under the fortress. On April 29, a small group of army nurses were evacuated. The last remaining navy nurse and some more army nurses were evacuated by submarine four days later.
On May 6, Corregidor fell to the Japanese, and the 66 remaining nurses were captured. On July 2, they were sent to Santo Tomas. The internment camp was located on the campus of the University of Santo Tomas. U.S. Army Captain Maude C. Davison, age 57, took charge of the nurses. She insisted that they wear their uniforms and maintained regular duty schedules the entire time they were prisoners.
In May 1943, the navy nurses were transferred to the Los Baños camp, where they became known as "the sacred eleven." The nurses remained prisoners for two and a half years. Their rations at the camp dwindled over time. By the end of 1944 they were on a diet of 960 calories a day. Then the civilian Japanese government turned control of the camp over to the Imperial Japanese Army. The army reduced it even further to 700 calories per day.
On February 3, 1945, more than four years after the nurses evacuated Manila, Santo Tomas was finally liberated by General Douglas MacArthur's forces. Three weeks later, Los Baños was also liberated. The women, on average, had lost 30% of their body weight during their imprisonment. But through it all, the 77 brave women persevered and all of them survived.
During the course of the war, their story had been used to promote recruitment and war bonds sales. By the end of the war, almost 60,000 women volunteered as nurses, more than half of whom also volunteered and served in active combat zones. Sixteen were killed in service. One of the escapees wrote a book, and three movies were made about their story: Cry 'Havoc' (MGM, 1943), So Proudly We Hail! (Paramount, 1943), and They were Expendable (MGM, 1945).
These women were the first large group of American women in active combat. They remain the largest group of American women ever taken captive and imprisoned in wartime. There is a shrine to those who served at Bataan and Corregidor at Mount Samai, and a bronze plaque was dedicated there in 1980:
TO THE ANGELS—In honor of the valiant American military women who gave so much of themselves in the early days of World War II. They provided care and comfort to the gallant defenders of Bataan and Corregidor. They lived on a starvation diet, shared the bombing, strafing, sniping, sickness and disease while working endless hours of heartbreaking duty. These nurses always had a smile, a tender touch and a kind word for their patients. They truly earned the name—THE ANGELS OF BATAAN AND CORREGIDOR.
Mildren Manning was the of these brave, selfless women to survive. After her release, she was promoted to lieutenant. She toured the country promoting the sale of war bonds. It was on this tour that she met the man who would become her husband. In a notice of her death that appeared in the March 25 issue of Time magazine, she is quoted as having once said "I have never been bitter. If I could survive that, I could survive anything."
Angelina Jolie's Adventure in Family History
Family history has been very much in the news the last few days. More specifically, family health history. On Tuesday actress Angelina Jolie wrote an editorial for the new York Times in which she informed the world that due to a family history of cancer she is having a series of surgeries to prevent getting cancer.
Angelina's mother, Marcheline Bertrand, died in 2007 at the age of 56 after an eight-year battle with ovarian cancer. Bertrand's own mother, Lois (Gouwens) Bertrand, died at the age of 45. With this family history, Jolie had some genetic testing done. These tests revealed exactly what she was afraid of.
Her tests revealed the presence of the BRCA1 gene. Having this gene meant that her chance of getting breast cancer had increased to 87%. She also had an almost 50% chance of getting the ovarian cancer that had killed her mother.
Faced with these odds, Angelina made a courageous decision. At the age of 37, she elected to have preventive surgeries that would remove her breasts and ovaries, even though she is currently perfectly healthy. Removing them now dramatically drops her chances of getting cancer to less than 5%.
Even more courageous than her decision to have the surgery was her decision to be very public about it. She penned an editorial for the New York Times that was quickly picked up by news agencies around the world. She knows that her decision will likely prompt others to get tested, and hopefully save their lives as well.
As genealogists, we are becoming more and more aware of how DNA testing can help us. Often our focus is on the help it can give us in confirming or denying lineages through mitochondrial or y-DNA. In addition to keeping you healthier, knowing your family health history can also save your life.
Being alert to the fact that you carry a gene is only part of the story. It is important to know your family health history, as that can increase or decrease your chances of developing an illness. For example, the general odds of getting multiple sclerosis are .01% (one-tenth of one percent). But if your sibling or parent has the disease, your odds increase to 33%.
When researching your family history, you have all the tools you need to track your family health history as well. Death certificates are a great source of clues. Examine not only the cause of death, but the contributory causes as well. Check obituaries that might also give clues. Family stories, either oral or written, can also help you. Look for colloquialisms (such as references to someone in the family having "sugar," which means that they had diabetes). The United States Surgeon General has a free online tool, called My Family Health Portrait, that you can use to help with your research.
Advances in technology are making it much easier to take care of our health. And the Affordable Care Act is forcing insurance companies to cover the costs of genetic testing like the testing Angelina Jolie had for those at high risk. Combining those tests with your talents as a genealogist can make a big difference in your life, and the lives of your family members.
Gaudeamus Igitur: Five Tips for Researching at Colleges and Universities
Many of us look back fondly on our college days. But our current thoughts can end up being focused on alumni associations sending us messages for money. But even if you never went to college a day in your life, the resources of your local colleges and universities can be very helpful to your genealogical research.
Colleges and university, as bastions of learning have a wide variety of resources available for research. Their resources for general history, social history, and the law are a treasure trove for genealogists.
1. Open to the Public
Many people don't' realize that college and university libraries are often open to the public. State schools and colleges are almost always available to anyone who wishes to use them. But even private schools often welcome anyone. Harvard University, for example, is arguably the most elite school in the country. Their main library, Widener, is generally open only to students, faculty, and staff. But that is only one of dozens of the university's libraries, many of which are open to the public. I have
2. Newspapers
The United States Newspaper Project is funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities with technical assistance from the Library of Congress. One library from each of the fifty states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, is designated as the official repository for newspapers in that state to be preserved by the USNP. In many locations, the library is a college or university library. The USNP website has a list of participating libraries.
3. Government Documents
The Government Printing Office maintains the Federal Depository Library Program. The FDLP is mandated by Congress to provide public access to information published by the government. Each state has multiple repositories that serve as depositories, many of them are college and university libraries. By law, access to government documents is free and accessible to any member of the public. You can find an FDLP library near you on their website.
4. Manuscript Collections
One of the greatest resources for genealogists are manuscript collections. Colleges and universities will often have incredible resources for you. Large or long-lived employers, such as factories or hospitals, might donate their records to the school. There may also be important groups or organizations that your ancestor volunteered for or worked with. For example, the Houghton Library at Harvard University has records of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM), the first and largest Christian missionary movement in America.
5. Online Databases
College and university libraries will often have subscriptions to large online database collections that are not available as individual subscriptions. They run from well-known collections, such as the American Historical Newspapers Database, to the more esoteric (but still valuable), such as Early English Books Online (1475 – 1700). These databases may help you not only with names and data, but also with reference works that can teach you more about resources and help you to understand them better.
Not everyone can be as lucky as I am to live in the city of Boston, which has one of the largest number of colleges and universities in the country. There are 31 schools in the city itself. When you add in the bordering towns in the metropolitan area there are 58 colleges and universities. Take advantage of your local schools to access their tremendous resources.
Will Some DNA Testing Become a Felony?
The Boston Globe's Kevin Hartnett contributed a thoughtful piece on DNA and privacy. According to the law, if you abandon something (e.g., throw it in the trash), it becomes free for anyone to grab. Perhaps you have seen people picking through trash barrels, looking for deposit bottles. Or people picking up furniture or other items left by the curb. This is all perfectly legal.
While most everything we discard is done so by a conscious choice, have you ever given thought to how much of yourself you throw away? I mean that in the literal sense. When you go to a coffee shop you throw away your disposable cup afterwards; and perhaps a plastic knife, fork, or spoon as well. Each time you do this, some of your cells are thrown away with it.
And included in these cells is your genetic material. Your DNA can be retrieved from it. Police have already started using techniques in criminal cases, in the event a suspect refuses to surrender a DNA sample. A case is actually in front of the Supreme Court this session that will determine whether a suspect can be compelled to surrender a DNA sample during an investigation.
This is bringing up all sorts of questions regarding our right to privacy, however. While the DNA is technically abandoned, it also contains information for which we have a reasonable expectation of privacy. The law, unfortunately, is in a particularly grey area right now.
Some are pushing to have new laws passed. Elizabeth Joh, a professor of law at the University of California at Davis is arguing for a particularly strong effort. In 2011, she penned an argument in the Boston University Law Review that conducting genetic sequencing on someone's DNA without their consent should be classified as felony theft.
Clearly this has tremendous ramifications for genealogists. DNA testing is quickly proving extremely important for genealogical research. If such laws pass without exceptions, it could prove very difficult to trace DNA on people you could not prove were deceased. Suppose you found a brush with hair in it that you wish to have tested to help prove lineage. If you could not prove the owner was deceased, you would be committing a felony to have it tested. And would the right to privacy die when the person dies?
Kevin Hartnett published an interesting piece in the week's Boston Globe that touches on this subject. His focus is on the legal and criminal ramifications, but the discussion is worth reading. And those interested in DNA testing will want to keep track of what lawmakers will be doing around this matter in the future. You can read his article, The DNA In Your Garbage: Up For Grabs, online.

WASHINGTON — Fueled by global warming, polar ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica are now melting three times faster than they did in the 1990s, a new scientific study says.
So far, that's only added about half an inch to rising sea levels, not as bad as some earlier worst case scenarios. But the melting's quicker pace, especially in Greenland, has ice scientists worried.
One of the biggest wild cards in climate change has been figuring out how much the melting of the massive sheets of ice at the two poles would add to the seas. Until now, researchers haven't agreed on how fast the mile-thick sheets are thawing — and if Antarctica was even losing ice.
The new research concludes that Antarctica is melting, but points to the smaller ice sheet in Greenland, which covers most of the island, as the bigger and more pressing issue. Its melt rate has grown from about 55 billion tons a year in the 1990s to almost 290 billion tons a year recently, according to the study.
"Greenland is really taking off," said National Snow and Ice Data Center scientist Ted Scambos, a co-author of the paper released Thursday by the journal Science.
Study lead author Andrew Shepherd of the University of Leeds in England, said their results provide a message for negotiators in Doha, Qatar, who are working on an international agreement to fight global warming: "It's very clear now that Greenland is a problem."
Scientists blame man-made global warming for the melting. Burning fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, emits carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that trap heat, warming the atmosphere and oceans. Bit-by-bit, that erodes the ice sheets from above and below. Snowfall replenishes the ice sheets, but hasn't kept pace with the rate of melting.
Because the world's oceans are so big, it takes a lot of ice melting — about 10 trillion tons — to raise sea levels 1 inch. Since 1992, ice sheets at the poles have lost nearly 5 trillion tons of ice, the study says, raising sea levels by about a half inch.
That seemingly tiny extra bit probably worsened the flooding from an already devastating Superstorm Sandy last month, said NASA ice scientist Erik Ivins, another co-author of the study. He said the extra weight gives each wave a little more energy.
"The more energy there is in a wave, the further the water can get inland," Ivins said. Continued...
Globally, the world's oceans rose about half a foot on average in the 20th Century. Melting ice sheets accounts for about one-fifth of sea level rise. Warmer water expands, contributing to the rise along with water from melting glaciers outside the polar regions.
Just how much ice is melting at the two poles has been difficult for scientists to answer. In 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change did not include ice sheet melt in its calculations of future sea level rise because numbers were so uncertain.
It's an important factor because if all the polar ice sheets somehow melted — something that would take centuries — global sea levels would jump by more than 200 feet, said Pennsylvania State University ice scientist Richard Alley, who wasn't part of the research.
Some past studies showed melting on the polar ice sheets, while others said that the Antarctic ice sheet was growing and offsetting melting in Greenland. The new work by 47 scientists around the world combines three methods and measurements from 10 satellites to come to a scientific consensus on what's happening to the polar ice sheets.
In the 1990s, the two ice sheets combined on average lost 110 billion tons of ice each year to melting, the researchers reported. That increased and by 2005 to 2010, they were losing three times as much — 379 billion tons yearly. The numbers don't include the summer of 2012 when Greenland experienced a melt that hadn't been seen in more than a century, researchers said.
The consensus says that as a whole the Antarctic ice sheet is melting. Part of the issue is that the southern continent is not reacting to climate change uniformly, with some areas growing and others shrinking. The entire Antarctic ice sheet is about the size of the U.S. and Mexico combined.
NASA chief scientist Waleed Abdalati, one of the few top ice researchers who wasn't part of the study, praised the work.
"Understanding how and why the ice sheets are changing today better equips us for understanding and predicting how much and in what ways they will change in the future," he said.

A Floyd County school bus was seen idling near the shoulder of US 23 after driver lost control and the vehicle spun off the road Wednesday afternoon.
The sight of a school bus in peril is of keen interest to passersby in Floyd County, where no one has forgotten that the worst school bus disaster in the history of the United states took place 54 years ago.
According to Floyd County Schools Superintendent Henry Webb, Floyd County School Bus 509 was on US 23 traveling north, when the school bush driver lost control of the vehicle, hydroplaned into a spin, and went across the road coming to rest just off the south bound shoulder. "She hit a slick spot on the road," said Webb. "Hydroplaned and sort of spun around."
Webb says that the bus was traveling with two students and the driver on board, and that no one was injured. According to Webb, the bus did not make contact with any other vehicles or objects.
"We are very fortunate that there was no oncoming traffic, and that everyone was safe," said Webb.

I heard theres a bid from Timbucktoo that would enable the RFL to expand the game yet further, so they are waiting for them to finalise things before announcing.
What a farce. How about putting some money into the ailing heartland clubs weve already got, before flogging a dead horse in non heartland areas?
Surely making the current clubs in the championship and championship 1 stronger financially and helping them grow their fan bases, and gradually working out from the heartlands would be a better idea than sticking random clubs miles away.
Call me a cynic, but expansion clubs have been created and fallen by the wayside for years even with RFL money behind them, the only exception being the eternal white elephant that is London Broncos / Harlequins /London Crusaders / Fulham, whilst the traditional clubs somehow survive by hook or by crook, maybe its time we helped them out?
Northampton and any other new club will last 2 or 3 years maximum, and at what cost to the clubs in championship 1 with them who dont make the top 4 cut off for the championship this time?
The RFL are a joke and are systematically destroying the game below super league, and they probably dont even realise they are.
Im all for expansion, but not at the expense of what weve already got - surely its common sense to ensure the clubs we already have can grow and prosper before trying to expand?
Just goes to show, if its not super league, they couldnt care less.


text: Struggling to get past chapter 3 on my first read several years back, I dismissed the novel as gimmicky and hokey. I never doubted the author's skills, but always questioned his motives. Recently, film crews stationed in my neighborhood prepped the cinematic adaptation. Prior to the holiday release, I decided to revisit it. As a new father, it really struck a nerve with me. Jonathan Safran Foer's "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" is actually a very, very touching and well-written book I'd like to endorse. It gives me extremely heavy boots that it took so long to (re)discover.


text: After seeing him on TV this week "Q" decided to write a Northwest Athlete Profile on former NFL punter and Colorado Buffalo and North Delta Secondary school athlete Mitch Berger. In 2008 he won a Super Bowl ring for the Steelers and in the big game had 3 punts averaging a legit 46.3 yards per punt. Kudo's for a great career and representing Canada in the NFL.

"If you motivate an idiot, they just do stupid things faster… Education is key!" – Unknown
Last week I told my mate he needed to exercise less to improve his health and lose more weight. If you have no idea what I'm on about, read this post first (part 1) before going on. I asked him if he liked the idea of exercising 1 hour a week instead of 1 hour a session. He did…
I'd finally started to make some inroads with his way of thinking. He could see that to gain success with weight loss, it needed to be a byproduct of living a healthy lifestyle. Not living for weight loss and hoping he'd become healthy. A subtle difference but an extremely important one.
I love exercise, I do it most days. I always look for ways at how it can be fun yet challenging, and for me it can be extremely rewarding too. But weight loss is the last thing on my mind, and I wanted to hammer it home for my mate too.
He asked me what/why exercises he should be doing and this is what I said… Continue reading

I've just stumbled upon an awesome program for high school students.
What is EPI?
It stands for the Ecology Project International. It's a student exchange program that focuses on field science and conservation. These students go to Montana, Mexico, Costa Rica, and the Galapagos Islands to learn about and get involved with major conservation problems first hand.
So Why is EPI Awesome?
It's no secret that planet Earth hasn't been treated very well over time. With pollution, global warming, and other harmful variables, the importance of field science and conservation is more crucial than ever. This program is helping people be more conscious of their part in making the world a better place by hands on interaction with the places in danger and the people and wildlife affected by it.
Who can Participate in EPI?
The program is geared toward high school age students..BUT, taking care of the environment is a joint effort by people of all ages so they do offer family trips so that everyone can participate.
What is EPI up to Now?
FUNDRAISING. Right around the corner is EPI's annual fundraiser. There will be a silent auction to raise money for the cause. Wine, cheese, and desserts will be available at the event.
Where: Gallery 16 in San Fransisco, CA
When: Thursday, September 29, 2011 6-9pm

OKThis new Blackstone recording of "Canterbury Tales" is wonderful and at times enthralling -- and also at times laugh-out-loud funny. Like the Charlton Griffin recording (also available here), it's the whole ball of wax: every tale, including the often-omitted Tale of Melibee and the Parson's Tale (which is really a three-hour sermon rather than a tale. Listen to it. It's good for the digestion, and quite a bit more interesting than it sounds). This translation, by J.U. Nicholson, uses a more old-fashioned vocabulary in places than the Coghill translation used by Griffin; but at the same time, it's also saltier. There are few crude names for parts or functions of the human body that Chaucer fails to use at one point or another, and most of them find their way into this recording. (For me, that's a GOOD thing!) One notable feature is that this is a multi-voice recording. Martin Jarvis is Chaucer, Ralph Cosham the Lawyer, Simon Vance the Squire; and that's only a few examples. Both this version and Griffin's version are five-star recordings in my book. Griffin's has occasional music, which this one lacks; on the other hand, this one has greater variety of tone and voice.
I've always loved W.H.D. Rouse's prose translations of Homer. They've been available on Audible for years in an older recording by Nadia May. Blackstone has just reissued them in new readings by Anthony Heald, and they're wonderful. Heald is fast becoming one of my favorite readers. His fast-paced, emotionally-charged style is perfectly suited to the breezy rhythms of Rouse's prose. There are other more poetic translations and readings of The Iliad and The Odyssey, but to my mind these are by far the best prose versions -- especially appropriate if your goal is to be immersed in the story rather than the language.
There are some things about Rouse's style you should be aware of, though. Mostly these are reflections of Homer's style, but some translators smooth it over; Rouse does not. Zeus is sometimes referred to Cronides, Cronion, or just plain God. Other characters are referred to sometimes by their names, sometimes by their patronymics (Agamemnon is Atreides, the son of Atreus; Achilles is Peleides, the son of Peleus). Sometimes, as in Cronides/Cronion, those patronymics have more than one form. In addition, Rouse often uses the word "good" to indicate an in-law relationship: a "good-sister" is actually a sister-in-law; a "good-father" is a father-in-law. To me this is part of the charm of the translation, but if you're not prepared for it, it can be confusing.
This is yet another excellent reading of "Frankenstein." There are actually several really good performances of this book on Audible. Simon Vance tends to emphasize the lyrical Romanticism of the prose. Others have other strengths: George Guidall emphasizes the brooding tragedy; the three-reader version from Blackstone highlights the unusual structure of the narrative; and Flo Gibson gives what I think is the only available recording of the shorter 1818 version of the text. (Most use the 1831 revision.) I seem to be collecting versions of this book without realizing it. Vance's reading is lively and clearly differentiates the three major voices in the book (Walton, Frankenstein, and the Creature).
Business Physicist and Astronomer
This is probably as close to perfection as an audio book can be. The narration is excellent. The music tracks are perfect. The production values outstanding.
This is no easy piece of writing to grasp. It takes some background study---read Dubliners and Portrait of an Artist and the Odyssey first. Study them. Then pick up a couple good commentaries on this book---forget the quick notes.
A lot of work? Sure. Enjoyable? It's an experience more than a listen. The writing is beyond masterful. There are passages and chapters that will touch your core---some will leave a scar. It's that good.
This audio book isn't for everyone. But again, it could not be better.

Waiver Wire: 2012 Week 16
Waiver Wire players are guys that are widely available in most standard 10-12 team leagues that you will want to consider adding to your roster. They could be immediate starters or bench/flex options with potential. We begin adding our waiver wire picks as early as Monday morning to give you a jump on the competition. Be sure to check back each week - the Waiver Wire is a critical part of any champions success!
Week: |
QB | Sam Bradford | ||
If you're still in the playoff hunt, then I'm sure you have your QB options well in hand, but if you somehow need some help, give Bradford a look. He's fresh off a big day of 377 yards and 3 TDs against the Vikings. Next up are the Buccaneers who were just slaughtered by the Saints and rank as one of the worst passing defenses in the league. |
RB | Vick Ballard | ||
He's only owned in half of leagues, so you might still have a chance to grab him. The Colts RB is fresh off a 100 yard day and has been good for yardage in recent games. Week 16 sees him face off against the Kansas City Chiefs and their 23rd ranked run defense. |
RB | Curtis Brinkley | ||
When Ryan Mathews went out with an injury, it was Brinkley who saw the most benefit. He only got 6 carries, but he made the most of them picking up 42 yards for a healthy 7.0 per carry average. He also added 3 receptions for 14 more yards. Now that Mathews is done for the year, Brinkley should have a shot to step up against some very favorable matchups the next couple of weeks. Jackie Battle is still in the mix, but given that he only recorded 2 yards on 3 carries, Brinkley has the upper hand at the moment. |
WR | Brandon Gibson | ||
Over the last 5 weeks, Gibson has had some injury issues such as a knee and an illness, so he's only produced in 3 games. During those three, he had 3 TDs and (1) 100+ yard game. He's inconsistent, but as long as he's in the lineup against a porous Bucs defense this week, he has a lot of upside for a receiver that is only owned in 15% of leagues. |

"This tyrant invented by the mass media, this fearsome demon, has just given a tremendous vitamin-injection to democracy, which, both in Latin America and elsewhere, has become rickety and enfeebled," Galeano wrote of Chavez.
Once in power, Chavez diverted revenues from Venezuela's oil industry into a series of healthcare, education and anti-poverty initiatives known as misiones, opening subsidized supermarkets and clinics -- many staffed by Cuban medics -- in the country's poorest communities.
Between 1998 and 2006 the percentage of Venezuelans living below the poverty line fell from 50.4% to 36.3%, according to statistics from the World Bank's Databank. Infant mortality fell from 20.3 per thousand births when Chavez came to power to 12.9 by 2011, according to the same source.
Education also became more accessible, with the number of children enrolled in secondary education rising from 48% in 1999 to 72% in 2010, according to UNESCO figures.
Visiting Caracas ahead of the 2006 election, I met a friend who had recently graduated from a newly established public university which charged its students just 300 bolivars a term, at the time the equivalent of about 15 cents.
Previously, he explained, students in higher education had to pay about 1 million bolivars a month to go to a private university. As we walked, he pointed out a stall selling orange juice for 500 bolivars a glass. "Look at that," said my friend, "education under Chavez is cheaper than orange juice."
Yet it will be for his interventions on the world stage that Chavez will be remembered beyond his homeland.
Outspoken and often wildly undiplomatic, Chavez thrived on the intransigence and widespread international unpopularity of the George W. Bush-era White House, never more so than when he referred to his then-US counterpart as "the devil" in addressing the U.N. General Assembly in 2006.
In Latin America, he provided inspiration for the rise of a generation of leftist leaders, notably Evo Morales in Bolivia and Rafael Correa in Ecuador, and breathed fresh life -- and oil supplies -- into Cuba's anemic revolution. Others in Brazil and Argentina benefited from the renewed sense of regional confidence and solidarity that Chavez brought to the table.
He also had a deft appreciation of the mischievous power of gesture politics, sending "humanitarian aid" in the form of discounted fuel to one of the most deprived areas of New York's Bronx in 2005, and signing a gas deal with London in 2007 that funded cut-price bus fares for a quarter of a million of the British capital's poorest residents.

Unwanted Offspring Die by the Millions in Animal Shelters and on the Streets, Says Group
For Immediate Release: July 8, 2010
Contact: Robbyn Brooks 757-622-7382
Las Vegas -- Holding signs that read, "Dogs Can't Use Condoms: Spay and Neuter!" and "Condoms Won't Work: Fix Your Cat!" two PETA members dressed as giant condoms--one pink and one blue--will hand out leaflets on animal birth control at a busy location in Las Vegas on Friday. Their point? That the only way to get a handle on the cat and dog overpopulation crisis is to always have your animals spayed or neutered.
When: Friday, July 9, 12 noon
Where: 3400 Las Vegas Blvd. S. (in front of The Mirage), Las Vegas
"If cats and dogs could wear condoms, millions of animals would be spared from suffering and death," says PETA campaigner Virginia Fort."But they can't--so it's up to their guardians to take responsibility for spaying and neutering."
Almost 8 million unwanted cats and dogs enter animal shelters every year in the U.S., and roughly half of them are euthanized because there simply aren't enough good homes for them. Millions more never make it to an animal shelter and are left to fend for themselves on the streets, where they often are subjected to cruelty; suffer from starvation, disease, or injuries; or are struck by cars. The solution is simple: Always spay or neuter your animal companions. Spaying one female dog can prevent 67,000 births in six years, and spaying one female cat can prevent 420,000 births in seven years.

Timed Exposures
by razipix on Jun.13, 2009, under Nature, Panning, Sports, Timed Exposures
Over the years, I had tried my hand in different long timed exposures from velvety white water falls or stream to a recent experiment in tunnel.
Here are some of the better photos from each photo shoot along with EXIF details.
This was taken recently on the way to Duluth in a about 1/2 mile long tunnel. With a EF17-40mm lens set at 40mm with an aperture of f4.0 and shutter speed of 0.4 seconds, this was exposed to +0.25ev.
This cotton candy like firework was captured in Dells, Wisconsin a few years back with my 10D. Taken for 1/20 seconds at f/4 with an ISO of 800 at 70mm focal length.
Skiing & Snow Boarding are the popular sport in MN, for at least 6 months, which lately has gone up to 8 months. There are many ski areas and Afton Alps is a one near by which has beginner to pro level course. There are also contests held where the skiier has to cross a water pond cut in the middle on the way down from the hill. This was taken with a shutter speed of 1/90sec at f/13 with a 73mm on the lens.
This lightning picture is a HDR taken in 2006. It is a combination of 4 different exposures taken in 30 seconds shutter speeds with a 50mm prime lens at f/11.
What's a Timed exposure article without a seamless flowing vevetty falls, right? Here it is. Its taken in Gooseberry Falls, Duluth, MN. This is a HDR of 3 different exposures. The 0 eV was taken with 17mm lens at f/22 for 0.3 seconds.
