Nearly 4 out of 10 babies are born to unmarried women. Have today's teenaged girls run completely amok? Not so. The sudden spike in unwed motherhood is driven by the increasing number of women in their 20′s and 30′s who are choosing to become mothers without a husband on board. The trend is seen by researchers at the National Center for Health Statistics and is based on a review of birth certificates across the United States.
There may be no single explanation, but several factors play a role. The social stigma for unmarried births has lessened considerably over the last 50 years. Women are increasingly able to sustain themselves financially and control their fertility. It is possible to choose motherhood outside of the marital relationship, and women are doing that in greater numbers than ever. For instance, between 2002 and 2006, unmarried women between ages 20 and 40 went from having 13% to 34% of all births. In 2007, the number was 40%.
Other countries have experienced the same trend in even greater numbers. In the United Kingdon, 44% of births are to unmarried women. In Iceland, Sweden, and France, the number is 50% or higher. In all countries, many, but not all, of the mothers live with, but are not married to, their children's fathers.
Are women willing to forego marriage, but not miss out on motherhood? How will this change in the mothering experience affect the status of women with children? What does it mean for family and parental policy in the US? Let us know what you think by posting a comment below.

I am one of the unmarried mothers included in the 2002 to 2006 statistics. My unmarried status is a choice, not a challenge. My partner and I are not married because we choose not to be, one main reason is due to marriage inequality in this country, but another reason is that we don't see the necessity. I know several mothers who are unmarried by choice. We are all well educated women in our mid 20′s to mid-30′s. Most of us are living with the father or co-parent of our child/ren.
I see this growing trend as a sign of our generations liberation from the idea that a woman must be wife AND mother to be fulfilled. We can be any combination of the two, with other roles thrown in. I really think this is the beginning of the rejection of marriage as a social institution in the West.
"I really think this is the beginning of the rejection of marriage as a social institution in the West." If true, that is to be lamented. The official and public pledging of equal partnership between the two halves of humanity is a cause to be celebrated, not roadkill to be tossed to one side with nary a glance back.
Well congratulations on fifteen successful years of propaganda from the National Fatherhood Initiative! They have got the message across that there's an "epidemic" of single motherhood and completely normalized it. Why bother to get married.
Congratulations to them too, as well as the entire family values anti-welfare child support enforcement crowd for elevating the status of spermatazoa to the point where a man's having sex buys him all the rights and "responsibilities" of fatherhood, contrary to centuries of jurisprudence that accorded the status of legal paternity only to husbands. Why bother to get married.
And chins up to the backlash, anti-feminist "let's clamp down on those wayward women even harder crowd". As the child custody laws become more and more punitive, imposing all of the detriments but none of the benefits of marriage on women and the families they create on their own, taking babies away from the mothers who bore them, and chaining women to the soil upon which they gave birth, all in order to enforce "fathers' rights", women will start wising up. More and more of them will be doing their pregnancies via anonymous sperm donation and other circumventions that will protect their lives from onerous state and stranger male intrusion and control.

I definitely think State enforced child support is a contributing factor. Not to downplay the ability of single moms to support themselves, but I think many single moms count on child support that they did not have to pay an attorney to get. I am proud of being a married mom. I am proud of raising my child with two parents. I am not saying that its wrong to raise a child alone or even with an unmarried partner. I do wish that if women chose to have a child alone, they make that choice to support the child alone too. To force a man to pay based on some calculation of what he'd have paid to support a child if the couple had married is ridiculous. I agree with spring. For a man to have sex is to agree to all the rights and responsibilities of being a father without any choice. Woman can control their birth control and abortion options, men can only chose to have or not to have sex. After that bring on welfare and state ordered non-custodial payments. The system is biased towards women these days. If you chose to do it alone, fine, but actually do it alone.
Men do have a choice whether or not they conceive children…it's called wearing a condom or not having intercourse at all. As soon as you agree to have sex with another person, you take on the responsibility of all the possible consequences, including supporting any resulting children.
I really don't understand why people are so tied to the institution of marriage (outside of religious beliefs- although that brings up all sorts of other questions). My partner and I are fully committed to each other, our son, and our family. We work together to provide for the needs of our son and each other. We don't need a piece of paper from the state to validate our relationship or hold us accountable to each other and to our child. We have our own ethics and values to adhere to. And from what I have seen of marriages, that piece of paper and that ceremony do not afford any guarantees of happiness or fidelity. So I'll take my chances without marriage. As I am free to do. Thank you.
Idyllic Youth
You are free to have children without being married. But you aren't alone. Perhaps you are single for tax purposes, but it sounds like you aren't really single. It sounds like you have a responsible partner who wants to be a parent. Congrats, that's awesome. I'm all for choice in that matter. I just think making a choice to raise a child without the promise (or vow) of another person should be honored by the state. Sex is by no means a vow, marriage and dedication to being a parent is. It seems you don't need a state sponsored piece of paper like a marriage certificate to make your partnership any more real than it is, why would needed state ordered child support be any different? Especially when that state ordered child support is based on a supposed financial situation that never took place to begin with: marriage. The very institution you reject.
It makes a huge difference when you are self supporting (unmarried) or not. The ideal scenario for raising children was to be married at one time which is based on religious beliefs. I realize the issues that are before us concerning same sex marriage and the frustration thereof, however those issues are between man and his God. The people that want to get married cannot and the ones who have that option , choose not to (to confusing ) The key issue is whether or not you are supporting yourself and your children, that to me becomes a more a social issue. Economically speaking, single or not young or older; it places a drain on us all when individuals decide to continue to procreate with no means of becoming self supportive.
Marriage is a contract so that the gubment can be all up in yo biznaz. There are no guarantees other than what both individuals hold–subject to change at any moment. Your relationship is whatever you define it as.
@Idyllic Youth–I think you totally misunderstood what spring was saying.
"count on child support?" Why shouldn't they? He put it in, now he can pull it out!
"If you choose to do it alone…do it alone." That feels like a very prejudicial and privileged statement coming on….
Wow – where is the compassion…or at least the attempt to understand "single mothers"?!?
Before we judge one another or presume to "understand" things, we all need to take some time to educate ourselves.
It takes TWO people to conceive a child – therefore, two people should support it. If the man doesn't want the responsibility, he can use "birth control".
Instead of judging the women, listen to them and ask questions. You may find that they believe the institiution of marriage has let them down. Perhaps their parents divorced or they are the victims of a "bad marriage". We will not sell marriage on anyone, unless we make it an institution to be valued again.
And – if you are not going to respect women, how can you ask them to "respect themselves" according to your standards?!? Let's not cast stones…

Seahawks reach for likely new ORT in Carpenter
After failing to trade down — which is what Seattle GM John Schneider strongly suggested would happen — there are bound to be more than a few Seahawks fans who will be down on the Seahawks after their surprising selection of Alabama ...
Draft Dose: Who needs a DT?
In the 32nd and final installment of the Draft Dose series, PFW takes a look at 10 teams in need of a defensive tackle.
Seahawks WR Tate missing out on 'Golden' opportunity
Our Seahawks sources believe there probably isn't a player in the league more victimized by the ongoing lockout than second-year WR Golden Tate.
Salary adjustments could be on tap for Tatupu, Trufant
While the Seahawks are still very much counting on veteran defensive starters Lofa Tatupu and Marcus Trufant, we hear it would not be a shock if the team took a hard look at restructuring their contracts.
Draft Dose: Who needs an offensive tackle?
As the NFL draft draws near, PFW looks at five teams that could use some help at offensive tackle — with USC's Tyron Smith a rising prospect at the position.
Draft countdown: Pick No. 25
PFW looks back at the last 10 players chosen with the 25th pick in the NFL draft, including WR Freddie Mitchell to the Eagles in 2001.

Adding to the uncertainty due to the current lockout are the undeniably shaky QB situations facing one-third of the league's teams, including the 49ers and holdover starter Alex Smith.
NFC team needs
The Vikings are looking for a successor to QB Brett Favre, as PFW identifies the top three draft needs of each NFC team.
New deal for Hasselbeck in Seattle not a lock
It appears a new deal for Seahawks QB Matt Hasslbeck is a long way from being the slam-dunk head coach Pete Carroll made it seem like in his postseason press conference.
NFC West free-agent preview
With the owners and players mired in negotiations, the beginning of free agency is likely to be delayed. Yet, PFW examines the free-agent picture for each club, with the NFC West featured today.
Report: Washington, Seahawks agree to extension
RB Leon Washington has agreed to a four-year extension with the Seahawks, according to his agent.
Seahawks expecting strong second seasons from Okung, Thomas

The Seahawks hired Carl Smith to be their new quarterbacks coach, replacing Jedd Fisch.
Clemons was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury.||||||| Clemons, who led the team with 11 1/2 sacks during the regular season, suffered a torn ACL and meniscus in his left knee in Sunday's win over Washington. This is a big blow for a one of the league's top defensive units.
Clemons, the Seattle Seahawks' best pass rusher, left Sunday's playoff game against the Washington Redskins with a left knee injury.||||||| Clemens, who led Seattle with 11 1/2 sacks in the regular season, was injured in the third quarter. The team announced his return was doubtful.
The Seahawks have officially announced their agreement on a multi-year deal with Clemons, who was due to become a free agent at the end of the 2012 season.||||||| The Seahawks announced the deal Tuesday afternoon, although terms were not released. Clemons' agent, Donal Henderson, first confirmed the sides had agreed to a new contract on Monday night. Clemons' new deal erases the question of whether the defensive end would hold out from the start of training camp after he skipped Seattle's mandatory minicamp in June. Clemons has recorded 11 sacks in each of the last two seasons.
Defensive end Chris Clemons and the Seattle Seahawks have agreed to terms on a multiyear deal that will keep Clemons under contract beyond the 2012 season. Clemons' agent, Donal Henderson, confirmed the agreement in a text message to The Associated Press on Monday night, but didn't release any terms. The team had no announcement of Clemons' deal.||||||| Clemons has been Seattle's top pass rusher the past two seasons, recording 11 sacks in both 2010 and 2011. But he was entering the final year of his contract and showed his displeasure with the situation by not participating in some offseason team activities and not attending Seattle's mandatory minicamp in mid-June.
The Seattle Seahawks have traded pass-rushing defensive end Darryl Tapp to Philadelphia for Clemons and the Eagles' fourth-round choice in next month's draft.||||||| Clemons played two seasons with Philadelphia after posting a career-high eight sacks in 2007, his only season with Oakland.

Clare High School senior Kendra Ives was one of two students selected from the CTE Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management program to attend the Ferris State University (FSU) Hospitality Gala on March 23 with CTE Instructor Heidi Rocha.
Organized by the FSU Hospitality Management program students, the annual banquet was held at the Holiday Inn and Conference Center in Big Rapids, and featured a five-course meal, silent auction, and live entertainment.
"This year's theme was 'An Evening in Emerald Isle' and Chef Edward Hayden was flown in from Ireland to participate," said Rocha. "I was provided with three complimentary tickets so that I could bring students who may have an interest in attending FSU to enter the Hospitality program."
Rocha selected Ives, along with Melinda Walsh of Beaverton High School, based on attendance and work ethic in class, as well as an essay each student wrote describing why they wanted to go to the Gala and their career goals.
"I am so thankful we were given the complimentary tickets," said Rocha. "It was a wonderful experience and learning opportunity for the students."

Micro-RNA Regulation Of Oncogenes And Tumor Suppressors In Breast Cancer
Grant Mechanism:
Investigator Initiated Research
Scientific Abstract:
Background/Rationale: Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that can have diverse effects on cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. They are generally believed to function by binding to imperfectly complimentary sequences in the 3?UTR of target genes and cause suppression of translation. While some prior studies have identified a number of miRNAs that are either up or down-regulated in breast cancer, these prior studies are neither comprehensive nor do they provide direct functional evidence for the role of specific miRNAs in breast cancer. Objective/Hypothesis: Targets of miRNAs in breast cancer cells may include oncogenes and tumor suppressor and thus miRNAs may directly alter tumor phenotypes. In this proposal we take three complimentary approaches to identify miRNA:oncogene or miRNA:tumor suppressor pairs that play a direct role in the initiation or maintenance of breast cancer. We seek to both identify miRNAs that can alter breast cancer phenotypes, and secondly determine whether inhibition of particular miRNAs can affect a reversion of the malignant phenotype. Specific Aims and Study Design: 1) Understand how miRNAs regulate the oncogene ERBB2 and tumor suppressor TP53 whose amplification and inactivation, respectively, account for alterations in the majority of human breast cancers. We have recently identified several miRNAs that can regulate ERBB2 and other miRNAs that can regulate TP53 expression. Using conditional expression of these miRNAs in human breast epithelial cells or transgenic mouse model systems we propose to study the direct effects of these miRNAs on breast tumor formation and regression. 2) Identify novel miRNAs that can play a direct role in breast cancer formation or resistance to chemotherapeutics. We have generated a human miRNA expression library that is comprised of approximately 375 unique miRNAs in retroviral vectors. Individual miRNAs can be expressed in human breast epithelial cells using this approach and are appropriately processed and functional. We will perform high-throughput screens in human breast epithelial cells to identify miRNAs that can cooperate with oncogenes for full malignant transformation or identify miRNAs that can render human epithelial cells resistant to common chemotherapeutics used in breast cancer treatment such as taxanes or anthracyclines. 3) Determine whether mutations in the 3?UTR of TP53 in primary human breast cancers are of functional significance. Deregulated expression of oncogenes and tumor suppressors may occur through either altered expression of miRNAs that target a particular gene or through the mutation of miRNA binding-sites in the 3?UTR of target genes. We have identified a number of mutations that occur in primary human breast cancer in the TP53 3?UTR. Using luciferase reporter constructs in human breast epithelial cell lines, will determine if the TP53 3?UTR mutations identified in primary cancers can alter translation regulation. Proposal Impact on Human Breast Cancer: The importance of miRNAs in regulating cancer phenotypes has only recently been appreciated and a comprehensive functional approach to identify miRNAs relevant to human breast cancer biology has thus far not been reported. We have generate a human miRNA expression library that we will use to test the functional importance of specific miRNAs. Our library is more comprehensive than any currently reported in the literature and should allow for the identification of novel miRNAs that can play a direct role in breast tumor biology. We anticipate that miRNAs identified in our functional screens will be 1) important in breast tumor formation, 2) may serve as novel diagnostic or prognostic markers for human breast cancer and 3) may be targets for novel therapeutics. A more complete understanding of miRNA function in breast cancer, as described in this project, should lead to immediate translation of these findings to the reduction of the incidence and mortality associated with human breast cancer.
Lay Abstract:
Background and Hypothesis: Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) are small genes that do not code for proteins yet can have a big impact on how other genes are regulated. They are generally believed to function by binding to the ends of other gene transcripts and altering the amount of protein that is produced. Only recently has it been realized that miRNAs can affect various aspects of cancer biology including the growth rate and aggressiveness of tumor cells. Approximately 500 different human miRNAs have been identified, yet the function of all but a few of these remains entirely unknown. Since miRNAs expressed in human breast cancers may regulate oncogene and tumor suppressor genes, they may directly regulate breast cancer initiation, aggressiveness and resistance to chemotherapy. While some prior studies have identified a number of miRNAs that are either up or down-regulated in breast cancer, these prior studies are neither comprehensive nor do they provide direct functional evidence for the role of specific miRNAs in breast cancer. In this proposal we take three complimentary approaches to identify miRNA:oncogene or miRNA:tumor suppressor pairs that play a direct role in the initiation or maintenance of breast cancer. Unlike prior studies that examined the relative abundance of a subset of miRNAs in breast cancers, we propose to systematically test nearly all human miRNAs for their ability to participate in breast tumor formation or resistance to chemotherapy using experimental model systems. To carry out these experiments we have cloned ~375 human miRNAs such they can be introduced systematically into human or mouse breast cells and observe their effects on a) cell proliferation b) ability to cause tumors in mice and c) the ability to cause resistance to the commonly used chemotherapeutic drugs taxol and adriamycin. In addition to our ability to express these miRNAs and look for tumor formation, our experimental systems also allow us to turn off their expression in animal models and see if they are required for tumor maintenance. To date, no systematic functional analysis of miRNAs in breast cancer has been reported. We feel we are uniquely suited to carry out these experiments since we have cloned a large fraction of human miRNAs and have access to appropriate experimental model systems to test their function. We have preliminary data demonstrating that some of the most frequently altered genes in breast cancer (such as ERBB2 and p53) can be the targets of regulation by miRNAs. We seek to further characterize how miRNAs may regulate these critical breast cancer genes. Additionally we seek to identify new miRNAs that may play a direct role in causing breast cancer. The miRNAs identified as part of this project can be rapidly translated into new breast cancer biomarkers that can be examined in the context of new clinical trials. Specific miRNAs identified from our functional screens may also serve as novel therapeutic targets for the development of small molecule inhibitors. Based on the findings in the proposed work it is anticipated that novel therapeutics may be developed to target aggressive forms of human breast cancer.

My good friend Mike Snedegar sent me this pic and I wanted to share with you guys! These children live at an orphanage in Haiti, where I donated a well that provides clean water to all 50 children who live there. This was a part of my involvement with Generosity Water, an incredible charity that work so hard to provide clean, safe drinking water to people across the world.
It was my pleasure to be able to donate the well, and it's really amazing to hear about the difference it has made to the lives of these children. Xo

Would-be bank robber had gun and mask, but what he needed was a watch
MANCHESTER - Police said a masked man tried to rob Citizens Bank on Brown Avenue early Friday morning but failed because the bank had yet to open.
Sgt. Craig Rousseau said the robber entered the vestibule of the bank, located at 2035 Brown Ave., a few minutes before 9 a.m. and found the interior doors locked because the bank , which opens at 9 o'clock, had yet to open.
The robber, who had a red ski mask covering his face, banged on the doors with a black semi-automatic handgun, yelling for employees to open them.
When he figured out they were not going to let him in, he ran out and towards the back of the bank, Rousseau said.
Police are looking for a white man, about 5-foot-9, 190 to 200 pounds. He was wearing the mask, a dark jacket and yellow gloves. He also had a backpack with a white stripe on it.
Anyone with information about the attempted robbery is asked to call police at 668-8711 or, to remain anonymous, Manchester Crimeline at 624-4040.

It's been almost a month since I posted here. I didn't realize that it had been so long, and although I could give you a string of excuses, none of them are really good enough to justify an absence of a whole month. The last couple of weeks, in particular, have been eventful. We waited around for a couple of days in Spangdahlem and then caught a flight on a C-17 to Washington. Brad flew with us and informed me that hanging out in a small airport with three small children for two days really made for a very enjoyable and relaxing weekend. Either work is really bad, or he is a really nice guy. Probably both. We spent the night in a hotel in Seattle and the next afternoon Brad flew back to Germany so he could be back at work on Monday. Thank you, Brad!
We have spent the last two weeks at my parent's house, and it has been wonderful. Annika is missing her Daddy and the bakery, but is enjoying many things that we don't get to experience in Germany. She can go in and out as she pleases, and has been happy to spend hours on the "tramp-o-bean" (trampoline) and in the "hot swimming cool" (the hot tub). All three of my girls are getting spoiled by their Oma and Opa, and they are in love with Uncle Nate. We've gone on long walks, we've watched Nathan play tennis, we went to two farmer's markets, and yesterday we took Annika to the beach. She jumped and splashed in the waves until she was soaked. The weather has been beautiful, and if Brad were here I would be completely happy.
Today we took Annika and the babies to a "castle park." We had a great time, and these are the only pictures of the trip I have edited so far, so they are the ones you get to see first. (You can see a few more pictures of our trip on my Mom's blog.)

1:54pm Monday 10th February 2014 in Sport
NEWPORT County AFC have just released the following statement.
"Newport County AFC have signed Goalkeeper Elliott Parish on an emergency loan from Bristol City FC.
"County's injury woes intensified when Jamie Stephens was injured in training on Friday and is likely to be sidelined for a month, which leaves Conor Thompson as the only fit goalkeeper.
23 year old Parish has played 19 first team games for City this season started his career at Aston Villa and moved on to Cardiff City and has had loan spells at Lincoln City and Wycombe Wanderers."

It would have made more sense to move for a reserve keeper in the January market, where there might have been a wider choice.
Now County have to rely on two emergency keepers; hopefully both will come to County's rescue in the immediate future.

Both keepers gained good experience. outplayers learned how to make long and short passes. They learned to know where their teammates were they enjoyed it and became very fit. and the training was never boring. We did'nt have access to a gym but if we did i would have used it in wet weather. But not for weightlifting. Of course with a squad of 18 I was able to change players and sides to keep them even. (lovely memories)
It's all the gym work they do nowadays. As Freddie Trueman used to say you should exercise by playing the sport you're engaged in. He reckoned all the injuries we see now are caused by players spending too much time lifting weights in the gym and not practicing the sport itself. You simply didn't hear about all these injuries twenty years ago.

If County get promoted after this, it has to be made into a sci-fi film.

Finding Business Travel Accommodation In Melville
From R460 per room per night | Tel: +27 11 482 5195 | Mob: +27 79 456 6714 | Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The beautiful suburb of Melville is very close to the heart of Johannesburg, and that means accessibility to transport, highways, restaurants, accommodation, activities and entertainment, such as theatre and sport. Accommodation in Melville is available in the form of B&Bs, hotels and guesthouses and any person travelling to the metro hub of Johannesburg on business will not be disappointed in the choices on offer.
The businessperson will find that accommodation in Melville serves a scrumptious three course breakfast daily and a nice touch is the free tea and coffee available at all times for those businessmen who work around the clock. The guest can visit one of the many restaurants and pubs in the vicinity for lunch or dinner. Many B&Bs have courtyards with beach-umbrellas where spouse and children who accompany on business trips can relax.
Equipped meeting rooms for functions and workshops assist the businessman who has to meet with associates and clients while in Johannesburg. Similarly PowerPoint slideshows, seminars and internet presentations can be conducted in the intimate conferencing facility that one can expect to find accompanying established Melville B&Bs. The facilities offered at the accommodation in Melville are stylish and cater for the single traveller as well as for groups, families and couples. Available parking space and a laundry service is always available. This is important for business travel to ensure your business attire is taken care of promptly and that you can easily find parking when returning from meetings where you have your own vehicle parked at the B&B establishment. The reception can also easily arrange transfers, reservations, city tours and for after meeting relaxation and recreational activities on your behalf.
Due to the central location of Melville, the accommodation In Melville is in close proximity to the suburbs of Sandton, the CBD of Johannesburg and the city of Soweto. Business districts are just a stone throw away. Why not invite some of your business associates to enjoy some of the nearby attractions: these include the Apartheid Museum, the Museum of Africa and various art galleries. A short drive will take the guest to the Constitutional Court, Gold Reef City and the Nelson Mandela Bridge.
Tourists who are en route to other parts of the country can also use the accommodation in Melville as a halfway mark; Melville is for instance an ideal stop over for those on their way to Mpumalanga and the Kruger National Park.

Make it measurable. Make it cheap. Make it open.
Jorge Luis Borges once wrote, in
the very short story "On Exactitude in
Science," of a great empire that sought to
create a map so accurately detailed that it
grew to be as large as the empire itself. Early
in my teaching career, and recently out of
school, I thought (in a similar, albeit less poetic, fashion than Mr. Borges) about how I was
representing science as a high school teacher.
I wrestled with the same anxiety most, if
not all, science teachers feel about not covering enough content. I constantly felt rushed
to get through enough of the "big ideas," and
yet still felt that most of what I was doing
existed only in the classroom and vanished
the moment my students left for the day.
I felt like I was trying to get my students
interested in science from the map I was
making, when I should be taking them to
the country itself.
It was a valid question, and after spending
that winter holiday thinking how to teach
environmental science without inspiring feelings of learned helplessness, I proposed to
my class that we find out for ourselves the
health of our local environment.
We began an environmental mapping project called TIGER (Technologically Integrated
Geotagged Environmental Research). We
started measuring and mapping water quality
at a number of sites in Los Angeles and soon
began measuring air quality and radiation
levels along the California coast.
During this time we started connecting with
other groups doing citizen science, ranging
from studying bird populations to classifying
galaxies. We're seeing how citizen science
is becoming an increasingly useful tool in
research as scientists realize they can get
help from a much larger circle than just
traditional academia.
From our experience with the TIGER project
scienceland.wikispaces.com/tiger), we've
come up with three rules to help classrooms
(and anyone else) create, manage, and collaborate on citizen science projects.
Education as Science,
Science as Education
My first experience in teaching science by
doing science happened in late 2009 when
I was finishing my first semester teaching an
environmental science course at Wildwood
School in Los Angeles, Calif. A number of my
students told me how relentlessly depressing
environmental science felt. Would the entire
course be about how our civilization was going
to collapse in an ecological catastrophe?
Rule #1: Make it measurable.
As any anthropologist with a notebook full
of field notes will attest, science doesn't
always need to be quantitative to be effective.
However, we have stuck with numerical data

Arrests after night-time police pursuit in Radley
Updated 7:42pm Wednesday 8th January 2014 in News By Andrew Ffrench, Reporter covering Didcot and Wallingford. Call me on 01865 425425
RESIDENTS living near Abingdon were woken during the early hours of today by the police helicopter assisting officers pursuing a car.
Thames Valley Police in patrol cars stopped a vehicle in Thrupp Lane, Radley, after midnight, and made three arrests.
Francine Rodrigues, a spokesman for the force, said one man was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving while another two men were arrested on drug-related offences.
One of the men is still in custody.
Former journalist Sue Fisher, who lives in Thrupp Lane with husband Robin, said: "We were kept awake between midnight and 2am by the helicopter above us for over an hour, and the patrol cars with their lights on.
"It looked like they were searching for someone."

If you've been tempted to buy Far Cry 3 due to all of the praise its been getting, but have been unable to scrounge $60 up to buy it, today's your lucky day. While I can't guarantee a sure-fire lotto win, it does seem like a safe bet that at least one version of Far Cry 3 will remain in stock at today's Amazon Gold Box price of $35. Gaming deals will be rolling in and out throughout the day, but this is the only all-day one, and it's probably the lowest price console owners will see for quite a while. FC 3 received universal praise from everyone at HG who's played it, and now anyone who missed it can enjoy one of 2012′s best games for nearly half off its regular going rate.
Anybody who doesn't own it would be a fool to pass it up at this price.

Modelling the known universe
|Share this thread:
Mar15-06, 02:36 PM
Hello, All,
I hope I am not out of line here, this is the only cosmology forum I could find to ask a few questions...
I am considering developing a piece of software that can produce a 3D model of cataloged objects, by querying something like NED or SIMBAD, and generating this as a real time model. In other words, representing all objects where they actually are in relation to one other at a given moment, not where we are able to observe them. Maybe even try and overlay their observed positions for effect. Maybe try to play with gravity, I dunno.
However, I am having trouble locating how published distances are arrived at, and am making certain lay assumptions that may or may not be accurate. For one thing, I am assuming that the published distances of objects are calculated using the speed of light, and do not take into account the expansion of the universe...
If I input the distance of an object, and take into account the red shift that is observed, can I say with any certainty that that object's current position relative to other objects (i.e. the sun) is anything?
For example (and grins), if the (albeit short lived) published/observed distance of an object from Earth is 1 light second (300,000km), and the red shift of that object tells me that it is moving away from me at the rate of 300,000km/s then if I calculate the "actual" distance of the object for rendering purposes, would 600,000km be accurate (assuming I calculated it within a second, duh)?
Assuming that the explanation for red-shift is not EM wave propogation (and it does not play any role in the red shift) , but that it is actually a function of the objects motion, this gets confusing over greater distances when the rate of expansion of the universe is not a constant, but is either accelerating or deccelerating.
My quandary:
If one observes an object with a distance of d, and observes the red shift, applies the formula to calculate how far the object has moved away from me in the time between now and however many years, months, days, hours, seconds, etc... have passed since the light that I am observing has left the object, I would be able to calculate the actual distance of the object that I am observing, right?
Well, not really. If the object has sped up over time I have to use the red shift of progressively nearer objects (this of course assumes that the rate of expansion at any given moment in time is uniform throughout the cosmos) to calculate how much the acceleration of the object has increased over time (and the distance it is from the point of observation now), i.e if the universe is accelerating, there should be a more pronounced observable effect on red shift for nearer objects than more distant, right? The faster an object is moving away from you, the more the spectra will shift toward the red end, right?
Well, but then aren't I riding a proverbial snowball down a hill? Each progressively nearer object should have a less pronounced shift, but the shift in the spectra as I am observing it is as it was x millenia ago, and so on and so forth...
Color me confused! How can the actual real-time distance of any object be calculated when everything we can observe about it actually happened aeons ago? Including the speed at which we observe it to be moving away from us?
It doesn't really seem as though an accurate expansion rate of the universe weighted over time could be calculated or extrapolated, given that we have no way to observe how fast it is expanding right now, but only the rate as it was expanding when the nearest object to the point of observation was when the observable radiation emitted from it left the object! (say that three times fast)
Somebody must have puzzled these calculations out somewhere and have a formula for it...

You seem to have a few misconceptions about the so-called "Hubble flow."
To a first approximation, the velocity of an object with respect to us is given by Hubble's law:
[itex]v = H_0 d[/itex]
This is linear. Hubble's constant [itex]H_0[/itex] defines the rate of the expansion of the universe. Its current value is around 70 km/s per megaparsec of distance. If the universe's expansion is accelerating, then Hubble's "constant" is actually growing with time.
The redshift is simply another way to express velocity, and thus, by Hubble's law, distance.
z = \frac{{\Delta \lambda }}
{\lambda } = \sqrt {\frac{{1 + {v \mathord{\left/
{\vphantom {v c}} \right.
\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} c}}}
{{1 - {v \mathord{\left/
{\vphantom {v c}} \right.
\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} c}}}} - 1
If you're trying to imagine what the objects are doing now, rather than as we see them now, you're headed down a slippery slope, indeed. There is no universal concept of now. In other words, every observation must be made by some realistic observer, and no realistic observer can see every object in the universe at the same time. One of the conclusions of the special theory of relativity, in fact, is that every observer has his own personal notion of now, and his notion of now is not necessarily related to anyone else's.
You're going to have to settle for plotting your objects at the positions they appear for some realistic observer.
I'm also going to note that your example,
Keep in mind that, with realistic values of Hubble's constant, the distances to very distant objects are changing relatively little. If an object is 10 billion light years away, for example, what does another half a light-year per year matter?

Hi, all,
Sorry, just a little clarification...
Okay, so no subjective observer can see the universe as a whole at one moment in time, or that is to say, from the perspective of another "subject" millions or so light years away. Which in and of itself would seem to make this a fool's game, eh? I can make predictions (read: guesses) regarding the relative positions of objects based only on subjective observation from my observers point of view (and could never account for anything that altered the objects path in the "past"; the time between when the light left and "now"). Any quasi-real time model, would always be from the standpoint of the subject, and would be unable to account for an infinite number of variables, but might make a unique conversation piece.
Although, eventually one would think that complex enough mathematics could eventually produce a theory that, while only explaining what we observe from our collective/subjective point of view (like dark matter; we can infer it's existence based on what we observe, but noone has ever actually seen it. Or stars that appear to wobble imply the existence of a mass orbiting it.), if the same laws apply (singular events excepted) throughout this particular universe one could use our point of view to apply those theories to another point of view. It would just depend on the accuracy of information that is applied to that point of view... I would think, but I digress.
In essence, what you are saying is that I should be able to take the Hubble constant, or my subjective view of it, and given its observed value over time (by making observations of object near and distant), I could extrapolate its apparent value over time? i.e (and this is rudimentary, and only an example) if I have information regarding the apparent value of the Hubble constant based on observation of Andromeda (2.2 million light years) and Abell 1835 IR1916 (13.23 billion) whose distances I would assume have been calculated by standard candle or something similar, one could approximate their actual distance from the subject which should be significantly greater than the distances referenced, as well as infer the value of the Hubble constant in any direction before or after (assuming that no unpredictable changes occurred to it, that acceleration is a gradient over time, not sudden and jerky)?
But hmmm... This would seem to have an impact on the approximate age of the universe. If something is 13.23 billion light years away, then it would seem to indicate that the two objects could not have been at the same place (the "big bang") any less than n years ago (sort of the inverse of Hubbles law, rewind the distance and apply the velocity backwards accounting for the acceleration), which would seemingly be significantly greater than the currently accepted age of the universe... You couldn't really pinpoint anything (like exactly when they were at the same "place", or where that place might be), but one would think you could say with some certainty that the universe had to be at least so many years old. It would also at some point place the Hubble constant at 0, which may or may not correlate with that age.
Ah the joys of a lack of understanding, I r a programmer.
One thing confuses me though. Bear with me! If more distant objects have the greatest redshift, and the speed of light is finite, then that would seem to mean that more distant objects appear to be moving away from us at a faster rate than nearer objects. Which in turn would seem to indicate to me that objects closer to us, and therefore observed as they were at a moment in time significantly closer to "now" (ouch, not sure how to express that, other than to put it in quotes) are moving away at a slower rate, then wouldn't that indicate that the expansion of the universe is actually slowing down?
Well, I guess more than one thing confuses me...
If red shift is more of an optical illusion (so to speak) and is not related to the "point in time" that the light left the object, but is related to the point in time the light arrived at its "destination" (current accepted value of 70 for the Hubble constant), than wouldn't it appear to be the same for all objects we could observe?
The long and short of it is, lacking understanding, can I apply Hubble's law to any observed object in the universe (given the ongoing refinements of the constant, but applying the currently accepted value), and thus calculate a "best guess" regarding an objects subjective "actual" distance from the subject, apply whatever other physical laws there may be accepted programmatically, and have a somewhat workable "thing"?
If it were somewhat workable, although nowhere near all of the objects in the universe are known, and very few (relatively) are cataloged, it would still be a nice toy to play around with...

If you make the tacit assumption that the objects themselves do not change with time, but only move, then yes, you should be able to "translate" the view at one location to a view at any other location by simply applying the Lorentz transform. You have the coordinates in one frame of reference, so you can translate those coordinates into any other frame of reference. This is a good question, though, and one that I would need to ponder a bit.
The most important conclusion of your program should be that, no matter where you place your hypothetical observer, the universe appears much the same -- everything appears to be moving away from every observer, with the same Hubble relationship.
In fact, distances are usually not determined by "standard candle," but are instead calculated directly from redshift. The redshift-to-distance conversion requires Hubble's constant, so you can see that it's a circular sort of argument.
Let me explain a bit about the so-called "distance ladder" employed by astrophysicists to measure distances.
The closest objects, like the Moon and nearby planets, can actually be ranged with radar. You bounce pulses of EM radiation off of them, and time how long the echos take to return.
For nearby stars, you can use parallax. When you look at a nearby star's apparant position relative to much more distant background stars, you'll notice it varies over a 12-month period as the Earth moves around the Sun. You can use the magnitude of the variation to measure distance. The more a star appears to move, the closer it is.
For nearby galaxies, you can use Cepheid variable stars, which change in brightness over time. Cepheids have a distinct and well-studied relationship between luminosity (power output) and period of variation. Since the period is not affected by distance, you can measure the period and calculate the luminosity. Next, you can compare the luminosity to the power you receive from the star with your telescope, and determine the distance.
At this point, you begin calibrating the redshift. You can use the galaxies with known distances (due to Cepheids) to determine Hubble's constant, which you can then use to measure distances to much, much more distant things.
It's a "ladder" in the sense that each step depends upon the last. In fact, if we were to discover that Cepheids don't work exactly as we thought they did, we'd have to update every catalog yet made; Hubble's constant would be shown to not be what we thought it was.
There are also more "high-tech" ways to measure Hubble's constant, and satellite experiments like WMAP have succeeded in measuring many of our universe's parameters to great precision by studying the cosmic microwave background radiation.
The bottom line, though, is this: the distances quoted for very distant objects like quasars are calculated by redshift alone, with the assumption that Hubble's constant is already known accurately.
I'll note that the currently accepted age of the universe is 13.7 billion years (per WMAP). I'll also note that we can see objects much further than 13.7 billion light years away, because the Universe was much smaller in the past, and it didn't take as long for their early light to reach us. In fact, if you do the calculus, you'll find that the so-called "particle horizon," the furthest distance we can physically see, is about 46 billion light years.
The only problem I see is that we can only see objects in a 46 billion light-year radius, and we've only catalogued a tiny fraction of the closest such objects. The most interesting "translation" you could make would be one that places the observer close to the edge of our known universe -- but it would also be the most boring, because we know nothing at all about most of that observers's sky.

Just a quick one re: conclusion follows premise...
My thought was that if we are looking at an object 13 billion years back in time, and it appears to be receding away from us (based on red shift) faster than an object 2 million years back in time, then I thought that to mean that 13 billion years ago, the universe was expanding faster that it was 2 million years ago, hence that it is slowing.
I have no sort of transcended beyond the project and been bitten by an inexplicable desire to understand... Cosmosis?
Thanks, chroot!

I think your last conclusion is based on the (very common) misconception that space is expanding from some specific point, i.e. that the universe has a 'center' from which everything is expanding.
This is not true, of course; space is expanding everywhere, at the same rate. Every observer thus sees every other object as moving away, and with a (now famous) linear dependence of velocity on distance.
The most popular analogy is that of a rising loaf of raisin bread. If each raisin is a galaxy, an observer on any raisin will always see all the other raisins moving away. You can calculate (relatively simply) the velocity each raisin will see the other raisins moving. You'll find it's linear with distance.
And isn't cosmosis what you get when you drink the water in Mexico?
