The emperor penguin found more than 3000km from its Antarctic home on the Kapiti Coast this week will next year be offered a cruisier way home than his epic swim out here.
Businessman Gareth Morgan has offered a seat to the bird dubbed Happy Feet on a Russian icebreaker ship in February for an Our Far South expedition to the Ross Sea.
''Of course until that time Happy Feet will have to be cared for here in Wellington,'' he said.
The penguin is tonight in a critical condition in a cold room at Wellington Zoo.
Today some sand Happy Feet had eaten had been removed from his stomach, following two procedures at the zoo yesterday, Wellington Zoo spokeswoman Kate Baker said.
''We won't do another procedure on him tomorrow - he's had two anaesthetics in two days, so after this we will give him a bit of a rest.''
An x-ray showed today's procedure only removed about twenty per cent of the sand from the penguin's stomach, and they might do a similar one on Monday, Baker said.
The penguin passed some sand through its digestive system last night and they hoped it would pass more tonight, she said.
About 75 people watched today's procedure, which was done by Dr Baukje Lenting and Dr Lisa Argilla of Wellington Zoo, and involved putting a tube inside the penguin's stomach and pumping water in.
The emperor penguin swam about 3200km from its Antarctic home to Peka Peka beach, about 60km north of Wellington. The only previous recording of an emperor penguin in New Zealand was at Southland's Oreti Beach in 1967.
Penguins usually ate snow for hydration and to keep cool, and experts believed it had eaten the sand because it was confused about where it was.

The comments yesterday on storm preparation ideas from the "seasoned pros" were excellent. Be sure to look back at yesterday's blog to see them.
As for Sandy itself, we expect to see some wild times tomorrow night into Tuesday with a lot of folks roughing it for a while afterwards.
I am @AccuFrank on Twitter.
A storm now in Texas will lead to severe weather and soaking downpours across the South through tomorrow. We may have a Yankee Screamer storm to deal with by Wednesday, but much of the South will be quiet next week.
While a surge of warmth is coming, so is more cold air. With the warmth comes the risk for severe weather to parts of the South.
Today, I'm answering a few questions about my polar vortex post from Saturday.
I have various geeky comments about the dreaded polar vortex for you today.
Cooler air is moving in for the weekend. After a brief warmup early next week, some seriously cold air is heading south starting at midweek.
The Pacific storm Vance is pumping moisture into a slow-moving Texas front, leading to lots of rain. Vance may contribute to a storm near the East Coast this weekend as colder air charges south again.

New website matches patients with clinical trials
The Miami Herald, June 26, 2013
Desperation over a frightening diagnosis or over treatment that no longer works — is what usually prompts a patient to search for a clinical trial. But finding the right one can be as difficult and stressful as learning a new language in old age. "In an ideal world, all that should be necessary is for a patient to contact a cancer center and ask for whatever clinical trial is going on for that particular cancer," says Dr. Michael Samuels, a radiation oncologist and medical director of the University of Miami/ Sylvester Clinical Research Services. "Staff would supply information and there would be a match."

Old School- Mickey Redmond Remembers "Toe" Blake
by Paul on 12/02/06 at 02:10 PM ET
Comments (0)
To gain a greater appreciation for the game Mickey Redmond will never forget, it helps to understand the dynamic of the player-coach relationship that existed in the "Original Six" era of the NHL. In addition to having respect for Toe Blake, his Hall of Fame coach as a rookie with the Montreal Canadiens in 1967-68, Redmond says he had another sentiment. "I was deathly afraid of him," Redmond, now a television analyst for the Detroit Red Wings, says with a chuckle.continued

Celtics co-owner Steve Pagliuca, in an appearance on the Mut & Merloni show, suggested that the Celtics remain an attractive destination for marquee players despite the fact that David West chose to sign with the Pacers over the Celtics and Magic star Dwight Howard has suggested that the Celtics are not on his desired list of teams to join.
"We just have to make our club attractive for players to come to. It's been attractive. We attracted Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. We think we'll attract players in the future," said Pagliuca. "We still think it's an attractive place. We have a great coach in Doc Rivers. We have Rajon Rondo, who's a fantastic point guard who people want to play with. You see the young guys playing really well right now. We have two first-round draft picks in the next draft. It's going to be an attractive place to play. When players come in and see those banners up there, they see that the Garden is filled every night, from a fan's standpoint, there's nothing like this, playing in the Boston Garden. We don't really find reticence to come here. In fact, they want to come here.
"Doc is a player's coach. Players love him. We're lucky to have Doc, the tradition. We'll compete to get these players," Pagliuca added. "Lists don't mean very much. At the end of the day, players often go to places that are not on the list. I don't think we were on [Kevin Garnett's] list. ... Who knows what those lists mean? I think if you have a good organization, have a great coach and a great tradition, then you can compete."
Pagliuca also talked on several other topics. Among them:
On Paul Pierce, the team's slow start and subsequent turnaround coming out of a lockout-shortened camp: "Across the league it was tough, especially for us because we had seven new players coming in. ... One of the keys for us was Paul [Pierce] was hurt. Now we're seeing the real Paul Pierce. Superman is back in the building, for sure."
On whether Pierce will be a member of the Celtics for his entire career: "It would be great if that could happen. From day one, we've had a fantastic relationship with Paul," said Pagliuca. "In the dark days -- it seems long ago now – in the dark days, Paul carried the team. In the rebuilding, he went along with the rebuilding. We sat down with him many times and said we need you here. We need you committed. Paul trusted us, we trusted him and it brought us a championship.
"He's back. He was player of the week last week," he said. "He's back and looking like the old Paul Pierce. It's a great thing to watch, isn't it?"
On whether Danny Ainge can blow up the team: "Danny doesn't use the term 'blow it up.' What he is constantly doing is [asking] is there a way to upgrade the team for the long-term and the short-term," said Pagliuca. "When you're blowing it up, you're trading a transcendent player. That player can be very good for the next couple of years and you can end up trading him for something that doesn't work out. So you have to be very thoughtful. You want to get another player who's younger or can help you in the long-term or draft choices, something that is going to really help the club compete and win a championship again. So, blow it up is a bad word. You've got to be strategic and thoughtful."
On whether the owners would tell Ainge not to trade a specific player: "We really listen to Danny. Danny has seen all these players. He watches tape, he watches every player in the league. ... We obviously factor that in, for sure, but Danny is the ultimate decision-maker.He'll make a recommendation to ownership. Ninety-nine times out of 100, we agree with that recommendation."
On the trade of Kendrick Perkins almost one year later: "As you know, you can do anything with 20/20 hindsight. I'd step back and say the philosophy of the trade was [right]. Danny was trying to get us ready for the stretch run. We were trying to win another championship. The easy way out would have been to do nothing," said Pagliuca. "We needed another scorer. We needed another piece in the puzzle. Shaq was supposed to come back. If all that had come into play, I think we really would have competed.
"I think it was the right thing to do. The greater goal is to win a championship and not just to play it safe. That's what I like about Danny. ... On paper, looking at it, we would have done it again."
On the Celtics' financial ability to make moves: "We've been a tax-paying team for the last five years. We've been over the cap. We've invested to try to win a championship. The way we look at it is, when we brought Garnett in, we went over the cap, for sure, but you had a chance to win a championship. You can't go too crazy, but if you really have an inkling that you're going to win, this is going to be a valuable player, you'll spend that tax money."
On possible improvements through adding players returning from foreign leagues: "Danny is looking at anything and everything to improve the team. The team has played really well. We've won five straight. Garnett had over 20 last [game], he's looking good. Paul Pierce is looking good. Ray Allen seems ageless. You've seen the emergence of Avery Bradley, he's turned us into the Baltimore Ravens. ... At the end of the game [between the Celtics and Magic], Jameer Nelson was saying to Bradley, 'C'mon now, you don't need to keep pressing me.' He was saying that on the floor. … You're seeing Avery blossom now. ... The nice thing we have about this roster right now is that nine through 14 it's one of the best in the league. Our second-team players can beat anyone in the league."

The Medical College of Wisconsin and Children's Hospital of Wisconsin Research Institute received a three-year, $2.5 million award from the United States Health Resources and Services Administration to continue funding a statewide, community-based HIV care system for women, infants, and children.
Peter Havens, MD, MS, professor of pediatric infectious disease and a researcher at the Research Institute, is the project director for the grant. Dr. Havens also is the program director of the HIV Clinic at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin Primary Care Support Network, which was organized in 1991, brings together nine agencies and more than a thousand community providers. Among the services provided are care for pregnant women with HIV and their newborn infants in Wisconsin, children and youth with HIV in Wisconsin and the upper peninsula of Michigan, and people with HIV ages 19-24 in southeast Wisconsin who are at high risk for not adhering to medical care, and women in northeast and southeast Wisconsin with risk factors which make it difficult to engage in care.
Besides minimizing HIV infections in newborn infants throughout Wisconsin, objectives include maximizing access to care, providing comprehensive culturally competent and coordinated HIV medical care and social services support.

Redskins' top play winner: Riggo's run
July, 11, 2014
Jul 11
By John Keim | ESPN.com
Manny Rubio/USA TODAY SportsScore: Redskins 27, Dolphins 17
Date: Jan. 30, 1983. Site: The Rose Bowl, Pasadena, California
From the moment this project was announced, and before I tweeted a word on it, there was only one play in my mind that deserved top billing. When a team hasn't won an NFL title in more than 40 years ... and it trails by four points in the ultimate game ... and it's fourth-and-1 ... and the running back goes the distance? How exactly do you top that?
Fortunately and wisely, the fans agreed with my take. Which is why John Riggins' touchdown run against Miami in Super Bowl XVII was the runaway choice for the top spot. Riggins' run received 76 percent of the more than 30,000 votes and was solidly ahead shortly after the choices appeared on the blog.
But the right three were on the board. A Hall of Famer in Darrell Green making one of the biggest plays of a 20-year career. That garnered 16 percent of the vote. A clinching touchdown on an unlikely play -- an interception return by defensive tackle Darryl Grant -- to win the NFC Championship Game at home, providing a moment that likely still brings chills to those in attendance. But it wasn't big enough, receiving just 8 percent of the votes.
Riggins' run happened in the ultimate game. It happened on a fourth down. It gave Washington the lead. Shall I keep going? Based on the votes, the answer is no. You got it. And you got it right.
@john_keim These are great memories, but the list is (1) 70 Chip with John Riggins in Super Bowl and (2) everything else :)— Dave Scarangella (@DullesDistrict) July 10, 2014

It's title: To New Horizons. The logic is sunny and simple, but it has proven (thus far) to be pretty much dead on.
I went to TAM 2014 in Las Vegas over the weekend and saw Julia Galef of the Center for Applied Rationality on a panel with philosopher Daniel Dennett. I'd never heard of Galef before this weekend, but she has a luminous intelligence, and more than held her own in discussion with older critical thinking colleagues. Anyway, below is one of her videos at YouTube, and I assume her panel appearance with Dennett at TAM will also be on YouTube at some point.
As an agnostic, I never have any problem with somebody who says, "13.7 billion year-old cosmos and evolution, yes, obviously, but not, 'It all happened via the combination of chance and natural selection.' Something more is up, and I think that's God (some sort of Ground of Being or Mind underlying the cosmos)." This, to me, is a plausible hypothesis that respects what science has discovered over the past 200 years. I'm not quite prepared (myself) to endorse it, but I understand it.
My own view is that the sheer vastness of the cosmos, combined with the multiverse hypothesis, may account for the long odds on evolution on our particular planet, and so I'm open-minded to outright atheism as well, but I don't know. What I find depressing is when someone says, "Noah's ark and 10,000 years. I read the Bible literally. It says it, I'm done. Scientists have conspired to cover-up the evidence for this because they hate God." When a person says this, it makes me despair of human rationality because it has no more merit than believing the Earth is flat or that the Holocaust didn't happen.
But here's the kicker: probably more than two billion people on Earth (the vast majority of Muslims and perhaps half of Christians) affirm young Earth creationism outright–or at least entertain it seriously. The mentality behind this is akin to that of the theologians who wouldn't look into Galileo's telescope.
And yet here we are. It's the 21st century and there are something like two billion YEC believers in the world–150 million in the United States alone. That's a lot of people. Think about it.
The great Hitch reciting Owens.
And here's the text of the poem from 1917 or 1918:
Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind.
Gas! Gas! Quick, boys!–An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime…
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.
If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,–
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.
Okay, I have to comment. First, before you can even get this sort of logic going, Adam and Eve would need to have actually existed in a garden in Mesopotamia 10,000 years ago. They never did. Second, you've got to be cool with genocide (the story of Noah's ark). That's a nonstarter. Next, you've got to believe that virgins can give birth and God is a self-punishing sadomasochist.
It's all just too much.
The question then becomes: Why can't we let it go? What is the story protecting us from?
Just 18 years. It's hard not to look at these two images together (via National Geographic) and not be stunned:
What sort of conservatism blends Jesus with Ayn Rand? Oh, that would be contemporary Tea Party conservatism.
But why isn't it more widely noticed that "Christian libertarian" is an oxymoron? I would argue that this has to do with the human mind's capacity for compartmentalization and cognitive dissonance, for Jesus and Rand simply do not go together coherently. Buckley, before he died, was less illusioned: he saw that his Catholicism and Randianism are not a match. Rand herself recognized this as well. She was an atheist.
In the below Google Tech Talk, Stephen Hsu talks to Google employees about the search for the genes behind intelligence (and seeks to recruit them into an ongoing study being conducted at the Beijing Genomics Institute).
I shit you not.
The whole talk is vitally important to listen to, both for the cultural Zeitgeist it reveals–when did such a topic become capable, among the meritocracy, of so open and casual a discussion?–and for getting up to speed on the genetic basis for intelligence (about 80% heritable, apparently).
The talk is informative–but in its low-key and matter-of-fact style of presentation, it also struck me as oddly chilling. Are we hearing, in this talk, the 21st century beginnings of a divergence, in future generations of humans, of naturals from the genetically enhanced?
If you don't have time for the whole talk, I've cued the below video to a specific question in the Q&A in which an audience member asks (politely, if indirectly), not the elephant-in-the-room question (race and intelligence), but that other elephant-in-the-room question: breeding for intelligence. How, in other words, might such research into the genetic basis of intelligence be used in the future? Hsu doesn't dodge the question. He says broad genetic fetal testing, apparently with the option of abortion, is already available in China for other genetic traits, and I take from Hsu's response that intelligence could soon be among them–why not? (And, of course, fetal selection happens on a more limited basis in the United States as well whenever an older pregnant woman undergoes amniocentesis, learns of a severe genetic abnormality, and opts for abortion.)
Hsu doesn't think the artificial selection train for intelligence, once the associated genes are reliably identified, will be called back to the station. The rich will go first, of course, using the technology to enhance their offspring, and presumably not just in their intelligence. We'll see health, attractiveness, and temperamental traits selected for as well. Again, why not?
And Hsu likens the ethical issues for geneticists working on finding trait genes to the ethical issues faced by physicists at Los Alamos in the 1940s (those racing to make the first atomic bomb). 21st century researchers, in other words, are in the process of making a genetic bomb–acquiring the knowledge, not for splitting the atom, but for systematically identifying and splitting test tube fertilized eggs and already existing fetuses from one another by identifying their genetic markers (markers that empirically and reliably yield a statistical range of definite traits on reaching adulthood). The test tube fertilized eggs and fetal sheep will go to the right, to life; the test tube fertilized eggs and fetal goats to the left, to death. The determination will be made, presumably, by parents in some countries, by governments in others. Think restaurant menu. Think Huxley's Brave New World.
How can researchers know today how this new power of division that they're in the process of uncovering will be put to use fifty years from now? They don't, exactly. But, like the Los Alamos physicists before them, they press on.
Listen to Hsu's response to the (indirectly asked) eugenics question. I'd be curious as to your thoughts about this.
I recently watched the first two hours of a three hour documentary on the American women's movement (I found it at a local library, then bought it at Amazon to have my own copy). It's titled, Makers: Women Who Make America (2013), and it's really, really good–the kind of documentary you want to give as a present to a daughter (and just as important, to a son). It's life affirming, thought provoking, and heart opening. Great stuff.
Sounding like Dr. Pangloss in Voltaire's Candide, the Thomist philosopher Edward Feser recently made the following statement at his blog:
[I]t is not just God's existence but also divine providence which can be known via purely philosophical arguments. Hence, even apart from special divine revelation, we can know that God allows evil in the world only insofar as he draws greater good out of it.
In other words, one can arrive by reasoning a priori–just sitting on one's couch, absent evidence–at two things: God exists and what happens in this world is for the best. One can know this.
My question for Professor Feser: Et tu, the Holocaust?
I personally think that Hillary Clinton's calculated insincerity, so persistently on display whenever she opens her mouth in interview (or writes a book), is going to doom her as a candidate. Her husband was insincere, but he knew how to do it in a way that we could all cheer for him. He was America's bullshitter, and we could almost believe him when he bit his lip and got dewy in the eyes.
Hillary has never had that skill set. Don't get me wrong, I'll vote for her should push come to shove in a general election. I don't want a far right president. Hillary will have good general policies if she can reach the presidency (on climate, on science funding, etc.), and I want my kids growing up at a time when they see a woman as president. But she grates on me as a campaigner, and I don't think I'm alone among liberals to say so. I'm not thrilled about Hillary at all, and I think she'll probably crash and burn as a candidate because she's just not very good at the populist political game (and the next decade is shaping up to be a time of populist politics). She is an elitist to her bones, and Republicans are going to exploit that by playing populist cards hard against her.
I'm sure she's very good interpersonally with her peers (when engaging in diplomacy, for example). But she is the Democrats' Mitt Romney (someone you feel is never really straight with you, always cynically calculating, having rehearsed and poll-tested every word). A recent example: pointing to the Bible as the book that most influenced her. Does anybody seriously believe that?
I see Dave Bratt as signalling two big things: (1) Republicans will solidify their image as anti-Hispanic over the next couple of years, making it harder for them to win national elections (especially in the 2020s); and (2) Hillary has a big problem: she's too cozy with the rich. Cantor's fate could be hers.
Put another way, Bratt's election signals that the populist, Tea Party Republican's passion over the next couple of election cycles will be centered around freeloading. Not just the freeloading of the poor and illegal immigrants, but the freeloading of crony capitalists and non-patriotic international capitalists (for example, the Wall Street "banksters"). Middle class whites are furious with all forms of what they perceive as freeloading, and anxious about don't-pay-as-you-go behavior. And this anger and anxiety bleeds over into the psyches of independents and Democrats as well (though they are less likely to express them openly). Left-wing resentment toward the crony/internationalist hyper-rich is mating with right-wing resentment of the poor, the brown, the immigrant. That's what Dave Bratt signals. Nationally, it suggests that a Rand Paul or Ted Cruz battle with Hillary Clinton for the presidency in 2016 could be a closer contest than we might now imagine.
The grotesque story coming to light of the sexual shaming of single mothers and their children in Tuam in mid-20th century Catholic Ireland–and the septic tank there that was used as the collective and unmarked grave for bastard children–800 of them–is becoming known as "the scandal of the Irish 800 of Tuam," and it has rattled Andrew Sullivan's Catholic faith: "In the wake of the immeasurable silent pain of so many children for so many years in the sex abuse crisis, to witness another form of barbarism against children in the heart of my own church … well, it's one of those things that really does shake the foundations of one's commitment to an organized religion. And maybe it's because it's in a part of Ireland where my own grandmother was born and grew up, and about a particular strain of Irish Catholicism that I know only too well – but it's one of those news events that are hard to get past. It will sink slowly into our consciousness, the way the sudden revelations at Abu Ghraib did, and hint at so much more darkness beyond."
I wonder if this incident might deliver Andrew to the roller coaster journey of a complete loss of belief in God, and I wonder if Andrew has seen Julia Sweeney's contemporary counter to St. Augustine's Confessions, which she calls Letting Go of God.
Sweeney's full confession is here:
At Feministing, Juliana Britto is impatient with privileged white males who, in conversation, play the "devil's advocate" for non-feminist perspectives. Here are three quotes from her essay (as a representative taste):
I don't like this. This way of talking sounds too much like the complaints a religious fundamentalist might make on hearing skepticism directed at religion. "What, you can make critical observations and walk away? It's because you haven't had my experience. You're an outsider. You cannot possibly understand." Well, yes, of course. That's it. I am obviously not capable of imaginative sympathy, otherwise I'd agree with you completely. It's not because your claims are in need of sustained critical scrutiny.
And no one is responsible for other people's education. The breaking down of a point for others in conversation is fine only insofar as you actually want to do it (or are being paid to do it as a teacher). If you don't want to do it, you can point them to a book and be done. If they don't read it, that's their choice.
I'm a feminist, I'm raising feminist daughters, and the surest way to make more feminists is to encourage, not discourage, persistent interrogation of claims, however dearly held. All claims. From any person that makes them. The hope of the world is in critical thinking.
Feminism is on the side of critical thinking and reason. It will win wherever it is in contact with reality and given space to speak in competition with other ideas. It can endure questioning and will evolve in the furnace of hard questions, even questions delivered ironically, in bad faith, or accompanied by a lack of empathy.
What we take seriously can be in the same room with another's resistances and ironies. Coming out of closets (as gay, feminist, religious, conservative, fundamentalist, atheist, liberal, Marxist, libertarian, Muslim, etc.) doesn't mean that this creates a social obligation upon others to step into closets themselves. Coming out of closets is not a zero-sum game. We can all be out of the closet about our thoughts and stay in the room together. We can work with each other's perspectives. And if we don't want this–if we want to cloister ourselves with the like-minded (as, say, the Amish do)–we can do that as well.
But dialogue requires patience and raising questions, including questions posed in the form of "devil's advocate." Nobody needs to shut up or temper such questioning. Adults can hear words, ideas, and questions–even irreverent and seemingly gratuitous ones. It may seem like a distraction or the long way around, but it's actually the path of progress. If feminism is true, there's no reason to especially fear or loathe questions and skepticism directed toward it.
Is it true that humans make only a tiny contribution to the Earth's carbon cycle each year? Yes. Does this mean that humans aren't causing global warming? No. Science journalist Graham Wayne explains:
Although our output of 29 gigatons of CO2 is tiny compared to the 750 gigatons moving through the carbon cycle each year, it adds up because the land and ocean cannot absorb all of the extra CO2. About 40% of this additional CO2 is absorbed. The rest remains in the atmosphere, and as a consequence, atmospheric CO2 is at its highest level in 15 to 20 million years (Tripati 2009). (A natural change of 100ppm normally takes 5,000 to 20,000 years. The recent increase of 100ppm has taken just 120 years).
In other words, unlike with the natural carbon cycle, humans add carbon to the atmosphere, but don't sufficiently offset their carbon footprint with things like, say, planting large tracts of additional forests. The result: a small but steady accumulation of carbon in the atmosphere because of human activity. Nature tends to recycle its carbon, generally maintaining a homeostatic balance, while humans don't. The slow effect over time is global warming.
For more on this issue, see the below link.
How do human CO2 emissions compare to natural CO2 emissions?www.skepticalscience.com
The CO2 that nature emits (from the ocean and vegetation) is balanced by natural absorptions (again by the ocean and vegetation). Therefore human emissions upset the natural…
The link below provides a nice example of converging lines of evidence from different scientific disciplines leading to the same conclusion: the planet is warming. Two weeks ago, NASA announced accelerated melting of ice in Antarctica, and this week it was reported that biological researchers "who looked at 366 species of butterfly and 107 kinds of dragonfly, observed a clear pattern of change between 1988 and 2006. In warmer, sunnier southern Europe, the light-coloured varieties are doing well, and the darker kinds have migrated northwards. The southern migrant hawker dragonfly (Aeshna affinis), the scarlet darter (Crocothemis erythraea) have moved to Germany, and in 2010 the dainty damselfly (Coenagrion scitulum) was seen in England for the first time in 50 years."
In other words, darker Mediterranean insects absorb more solar radiation than lighter Mediterranean insects, and so are more sensitive to rising temperatures. They are akin to the proverbial canary in the coal mine: they're the first to register a change that causes them to depart. And where these insects are going is north, not south, to places that are ever more Mediterranean-like in climate–Germany and England. Think about that. Germany and England are north of the Mediterranean and yet are increasingly suitable for Mediterranean insects. How could that be, logically, if the planet was, on average, cooling instead of warming? It it was cooling, these darker insects would be moving south, looking to capture with their wings more solar radiation. But they're not. They're going north, trying to get away from the heat. And when they reach further north, they find the same sorts of Mediterranean conditions that they're most familiar with, and to which they are best adapted. And yet they're in Germany and England, places we tend to think of as generally chilly, not Mediterranean, in climate.
So when the below article's title declares, "Insects Get Light Relief from Warming," what is meant is that they get relief from warming by moving north, away from the heat. That's an unmistakable sign of global warming, not cooling.
Insects Get Light Relief From Warming
"As European summers get warmer, research reveals that lighter-colored insects are thriving—while milder winters in the Southern Hemisphere are restricting the growth of some shrubs and trees. […]" – 2014/05/31
Stoned to death. In the 21st century. And she was three months pregnant. And Pakistan has about 100 nuclear weapons. Think about that. What if fanatic, populist, fundamentalist Muslims of the sort that stoned this woman for "family honor" attain the highest reaches of power in Pakistan and decide that national or religious honor is at stake in a crisis with India (which also has about 100 nuclear weapons)? Nuclear stones disintegrate all bones. Given that we're an irrational, violent, and territorial species, we've been darn lucky that nuclear weapons haven't been exchanged between nations already. The article below is a grim reminder of just how precarious our collective situation continues to be. Steeled emotionally to the doing of any deed deemed righteous, lacking all sense of proportion, offended in honor, sure you're on the side of God, sure the afterlife exists, and in possession of weapons. Not good.
In the below TED talk, Gavin Schmidt of NASA explains, clear as a bell, why global climate change models mirror, with ever greater accuracy, what we actually observe on Earth. It has to do with a trial-and-error process of calibrating models to new observations. Whenever the models aren't in the ballpark of an observation, they're tweaked so that, statistically, they're more likely to track that observation in the future. The result is that, each year, the models and the actual climate we observe have been converging. Given adjustments and new computer code being added to the models constantly, climate scientists are becoming ever more accurate in their predictions. Put another way, the sustained brain power being devoted to these models, and the reality testing at work all along the way, should give the lay person a high level of confidence that climate scientists have not called the global warming trend in the wrong direction. There's simply no good reason to dismiss climate change modelling and prediction as delusional, especially going forward.

TravelPod Member ReviewsThe Accord Metropolitan Chennai (Madras)
Staff as before were very friendly, very helpful but our second stay was disappointing for two people who wanted to pamper ourselves. The Front desk, spa staff and Travel desk were exceptionally helpful as was our driver.
We were looking forward to our second stay at the Accord Metropolitan to end our three weeks in South India and pamper our selves. However service was quite poor. Towels were not replenished, one bathrobe for two women and when we called several time it still never came. We had one slipper then the second night the slipper was gone. We were looking forward to use the swimming pool which were told would be open again in January it was not for our December stay. The pool was closed, we said well at least the steam room is working. It was not working, the second evening both the steam room and the dry sauna were not working. The changing room is not clear so men and women had no privacy. We had an early flight but the phone kept ringing at 3 am for someone else...sigh.
We were asked if we had taken anything from the mini bar but there was no minibar it was empty...
Its too bad because the hotel was quite expensive for the both of us but we paid for the amenities of a three star hotel.

Police handcuffed one of the saboteurs who disrupted the Democratic Green Party of Rwanda's attempt to convene, on October 30, 2009, while others hid their faces from the camera. All of the saboteurs were released almost immediately, but Rwandan Greens arrested at the meeting and afterwards were held for up to a week, and party members face ongoing intimidation.
