Cast iron pan-seared steak and butter - is it OK
- fldhkybnva Oct 31, 2012 07:06 PM
I love a great steak, and have recently come close to mastering a steakhouse quality steak. I usually season with salt and pepper or Montreal Steak Seasoning and then top with delicious butter. I generally sear with a bit of canola oil patted onto the surface of the steaks, but thought why not sear with butter. However, I do know that butter has a fairly low smoking point compared to other oils. Would it be OK to pat the steaks with butter or add a few pats to the pan or will just result in burned solids with the high heat of the pan?
re: juliejulez
I imagine since the cast iron holds heat pretty well that the tipping won't affect cooking time too much. Why is it that there is less concern with butter solids burning with seared steak vs. other recipes cooked at high heat and it seems it's recommended to use a higher smoking point oil?
re: fldhkybnva
There isn't less concern, there is equal concern, which is why I wouldn't and don't do it. If the pan is hot enough to sear a steak properly it will be more than hot enough to burn the milk solids in the butter almost immediately. Instead, simply brush the steak with a neutral tasting oil like vegetable oil, sear it in a smoking hot, dry pan, then finish the steak with butter once it's cooked.
My question wouldn't be why not sear with butter, but rather why sear with butter?
What you could do is sear your steak off using your preferred method, then finish it in a pan of butter on a lower heat while basting all the while as it comes up to temp. This method is called poele (pwa-LAY). I know for certain the Ritz-Carlton Lodge at Reynolds Plantation uses this method as it is where I learned it. However, most steakhouses do not use this method (actually, no top tier steakhouses that I know of do). They, instead, simply broil their steaks and many do finish them with butter.
re: 1POINT21GW
^ ^
this. 100% agreed.
re: 1POINT21GW
I don't normally lower the temp of the pan before adding butter - it doesn't burn immediately, just quickly.
"My question wouldn't be why not sear with butter, but rather why sear with butter?"
Adding butter right at the end helps even out and deepen the browning of the steak (honestly, I'm not sure exactly how, but it does), and the browned butter is a nice bonus in itself.
re: 1POINT21GW
1POINT is right on. Your skillet has to be very hot and butter will burn.
re: fldhkybnva
I've never had a problem with it. Sometimes I even put the cast iron in a 500 degree oven ahead of time, so it's screaming hot. It does create a lot of smoke so either have a good vent fan or open the windows/disconnect the smoke alarm. I'm going to do it this weekend in fact. I will say if your steaks are thicker, like filets, you will want to use the oven to almost finish the cooking and then take them out and do the butter part towards the end.
The problem with using only butter for searing is that if you get the pan hot enough for a good sear, you're gonna burn the butter long before the steak is cooked. Conversely, if the pan is cool enough not to nuke the butter, you're not going to get that great steakhouse style sear.
Try this instead. Sear in very hot oil as usual. As you are getting close to finishing your cooking (possibly after a stint in the oven if the steak is thick enough to need it), throw a pat of butter in the pan, and baste the steak with a spoon as you finish it. It'll brown but not burn before the steak is done that way. Here is a Gordon Ramsay video where he demonstrates:
re: cowboyardee
Wow, I just watched this video and that steak looks amazing, although it seems like it might be a bit too buttery if there is such a thing but definetly will try out this method.
re: cowboyardee
This is the video inspired us to use butter to finish off the steak. It was one of the best home cooked steaks we've had. The butter added a lot flavor and seemed to increase the unami-ness of the steak.
Use oil to achieve the sear and finish with butter.
My favorite pan seared steak recipe was from the Dean and DeLuca cookbook. A mixture of butter and olive oil in a screaming hot pan, sear both sides, and finish under the broiler. Made great steaks, but make sure all of your windows are open. I've set off many a smoke alarm with this recipe...
re: Vidute
I did consider that, but have never made/used either so was a bit hesitant. Also does anyone top steaks with brown butter? It seems like it would give it a great flavor! Thanks for the replies. I think that my thought that finishing the steak with butter is best still holds, so I guess I'll stick to searing with a bit of canola oil
re: fldhkybnva
My way is to dip or brush the seasoned steak with clarified butter and pan grill. Then brush with more clarified butter before turning.
The absolute best steak I've done is to sous vide cook a seasoned steak to 132F internal and then pan or flame brown the exterior the top with brown butter.
re: fldhkybnva
Rather than using butter or any type of oil.....I used reserved fat trimmings from the steak. Render the fat in a hot pan and add your steak. After the steak is finished, you remove the steak to a plate and cover.....during this time you can make your pan sauce and sautee any aromatics or mushrooms....add wine and finish with butter.
re: ipsedixit
What is your secret to the perfect steak?
re: fldhkybnva
It's no secret.
Start with quality beef. At least 2 inches thick. Preferably prime. Season with generous amounts of kosher salt (and pepper if you prefer, I don't).
Preheat your oven to about 350-400F
Get a CI pan, and get it screaming hot on your stovetop. Sear the steaks on each side for about 1 minute, then finish off in the oven until your desired doneness.
Sometimes, I will reverse the process from searing-oven to oven-sear (i.e., "Reverse-Sear"), as I noted here in this previous thread: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/635214
I agree with most people. Butter is great, but it has a very low smoke point. So if you sear a steak with better, you will badly hurt the butter. If you keep the temperature low, then you won't able to make great steak. So yes, butter is great at the end for finishing the steak.
re: sandylc
I don't use canola oil, but why do you think canola oil is bad for cooking?
re: Chemicalkinetics
It taste terrible and smells worse. It needs to be ultra processed in order to be safe for consumption. There are arguments on both sides, from what I read, regarding its safety.
The fact that it tastes bad is enough for me - it would ruin my steak.
re: sandylc
I have only used it for awhile (like 6 months - 1 year). I didn't particular dislike it, but I have moved toward grapeseed oil. That is ok. I tend to rotate a lot of oil through out my life. Corn oil, peanut oil, vegetable oil, olive oil...etc.
re: Chemicalkinetics
I like most of those oils. I used sunflower oil for a long time before it disappeared; it is now back on a limited basis and I've begun using it again.
re: sandylc
I keep refined safflower oil on hand mostly for steaks - no detectable flavor of its own and a very high smoke point.
re: Chemicalkinetics
I think it gives off a very fish smell when heated.
re: jaykayen
I disagree with the omnipresent calls for a "screaming hot" cast iron pan. Let the raw meat sit on the counter for a half hour. Preheat the pan well, over medium heat - 10 minutes or so. Add a little fat, or not, if your steak is well-marbled. When the first side is brown and releases easily, flip
and do the same on the other side, which will not take as long. Then take the pan off the heat if the steak is not more than an inch thick, cover and let rest for 15 min for medium-rare. If it's a thicker steak, shut off the burner but leave the covered pan on it, or put it in a medium oven, keeping track of the temp depending on desired degree of doneness. Rest it on the counter when it's 10 degrees under your goal temp. You do not need to incinerate the outside of the meat, which can easily happen with an over-hot pan.
re: greygarious
That sounds really right on. I have recently begun cooking steaks in CI rather than on the charcoal grill, as even natural hardwood charcoal is having adverse effects on our digestive systems. I'm finding that I like it better.
re: greygarious
I like a nice crust on my steaks. Sounds like you don't.
re: ipsedixit
I like a brown crust all over, which is why I prefer a flat cast iron frying pan to a grill. One great big "grill mark"! But I want it to taste of caramelized proteins and the meat sugar, not charcoal bitterness. Not that every piece of meat cooked in a "screaming hot" pan will inevitably scorch, but it happens. The risk can be avoided by more controlled heat.
re: ipsedixit
I've been using the method greygarious describes recently and I find that cast iron+butter+medium heat+a longer cook time creates an excellent crust on the outside of my steak - I wouldn't have thought it possible, but it really works. There is a little more of the grey ring issue than you would get with a high-heat sear+low oven, but otherwise the steaks turn out quite well.
re: biondanonima
My problem is I just don't like butter on anything, much less on a good piece of red meat.
The only time I use butter is in baked goods.
re: ipsedixit
<My problem is I just don't like butter on anything>
re: ipsedixit
I think my head just exploded. Mom, is that you? (She's the only person I've EVER met that doesn't like butter).
re: ipsedixit
I have to admit that I was never a big butter fan and didn't "get it" until I started using European-style butter and now I'm hooked.
re: fldhkybnva
time for the next step....actual european butter!
I am with the "why butter" people. Beef fat itself has plenty of flavor, and very high smoke point.
I use a cast iron pan. While preheating the pan, I am rendering some of the fat on the side of the steak. That provides more than enough fat to alleviate sticking, and gets that fat cap crispy. I don't want any more fat in the pan than a thin film; more fat is more spatters to clean up.
Why baste with butter when I can flip the steak every 30 seconds? I'll baste with butter for a side of fish, that makes sense. Fish meat is too delicate to be flipped repeatedly, but steaks are fine. The point of basting is to cook from the top as well as the bottom, for a more even doneness. Flipping repeatedly gives a great sear AND very even cooking.
If you are making sirloin or tenderloin (or other lean) steaks, drop a small amount of butter in at the end.
re: jaykayen
I flip often and finish with butter. No reason you can't do both. The basting part is less critical to the end result, and mainly I do it to make sure the steak gets plenty of coverage and flavor from the oil/butter mixture.
There are two upsides of using more than a bare slick of oil in the pan, btw - it generally helps to provide a more even sear, and it also stores some heat of its own, helping to make for a quicker sear and thus more even cooking if you pan roast or use some other more gentle method of cooking the steak to doneness.
re: cowboyardee
It is the spattering mess that is my biggest concern when I don't have someone else to clean up after me, as well as taking a spatter to the face! If the cook likes the flavor of butter on steak, why not?
You are right, OP did not mention basting; that was someone else.
re: fldhkybnva
Coconut oil smells very strongly of itself, would not use.
re: jaykayen
OK, thanks. I assumed it had it's own flavor but wasn't sure.
re: fldhkybnva
Very strong indeed, but it does not mean you may not like. I don't.
re: Bryan Pepperseed
Agreed, Bryan. Butter would only need to be added if the marbling or fat-level in the steak isn't enough, or if the steak has been dried out for whatever reason.

Grub Street has been obsessed with the New York dining scene for almost three years and nearly 10,000 blog posts. But we also know that theres a world of cuisine beyond New York City, and a very robust one at that. So were expanding our horizons across five more Grub Streets in Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, and Philadelphia cities where, not coincidentally, New York Magazines sister company, MenuPages, has a local site. Were also launching a national homepage at GrubStreet.com, which will feature the best stories from all the local blogs, over 400 chef and recipe videos, and over 600 recipes. This week, were introducing the Burger Register, a definitive, drool-inducing catalogue of more than 200 of Americas most notable burgers, complete with vital statistics; a look at the Neapolitan-pizza trend (its not just in New York!); a Chicago Diet with Top Chefs Stephanie Izard; interviews with Mr. Chow in L.A. and Nate Appleman in San Francisco; and a survey of the five toughest reservations in the country.

This product is easy to put together and is a good value. The only con is that the wood design for the two sliding pieces on top did not match completely. Not a problem as I plan to have massive amounts of booze sitting on top at all times anyway.
Looks nice, not too hard to put together, solid material. The only thing I don't like is that it doesn't feel as sturdy as pictured, I woudn't place anything heavy on top. Otherwise a good product.
The bar is beautiful once put together however there ar lots of pieces and it took 2.5 hrs for 2 people to put together.
I am sending cabinet back due to the damage and it appeared to be a cheaply made piece of furniture. Wouldn't recommend if you prefer quality pieces. This is the first item I have ever been dissatisfied with from Overstock and I've ordered many.
The assembly took me over 3 hours. The hardware did not properly fit into all pre-drilled holes. The final product is not sturdy. The false back keeps popping out. The top of the bar has 2 pieces that expand out. One of the pieces does not slide out without a struggle. I wish I spent more money on a more reliable piece of furniture.
Too difficult to assemble. Parts missing Instruction don't agree with actual parts. Flake board is of poor quality. I would have returned it but it was well packed and to open it I had to destroy the package. I realized the poor quality after I was half done. With some extra work and hardware I got it together it took so long and I got so frustrated, I wouldn't finish until a week later when we got back from Disney. I'm excellent at these types of projects. This on really taxed my skills. Do not buy at any price!
I was looking for a wine storage for a long time and i fell in love with this one at first site.When it arrived the top was damaged a lill bit and i called and thry send me another one in few days.Great custoner service.I have space for bottlrs and glasses inside the storage and it looks great in my living room.Im very happy with this purchace!
For the price, you can't beat this product. Not sure what are the reviews about how difficult it is to put together. If you can read instructions and have assembled some furniture previously, it shouldn't take more than 45 mins. I was done in 30 minutes without any help. The one thing I have to say is how great customer service is. The top was delivered with some damage and Overstock worked diligently to find me a replacement. I am extremely satisfied with Overstock and plan to continue my business with them. I wish most companies remembered how important the customer is.
This product is a good product. It looks really nice in my living room. The only problem I had was that one of the cabinet doors will not open unless I slide the top over. There was a small defect in the wood. Other than that it's a good product.
The box came damaged and so did the bar, not once but twice. Getting money back!!!!

Colette Lewis has attended quite a few tennis tournaments over the years. During that time, she has seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. Here is a list of twelve tips that players and parents should keep in mind to foster the best-possible tournament experience for everyone.
Twelve Tips
1) Make sure the Tournament Director has a phone number where you can be reached.
2) It is your responsibility to know your match time. Ask a member of the tournament staff where the match times will be posted, and at what time you can expect to have access to that information.
4) Come prepared to play when your match is called.
5) Make sure you know the scoring format before you take the court.
6) Ask how practice courts are handled - fees, scheduling, location.
7) If you are unable to play a match, notify the tournament director or site director as soon as you know you will not be playing.
8) If you are delayed by circumstances beyond your control, notify the site director promptly.
9) Bring your USTA card and have an identification tag on your racquet bag.
10) Have adequate water and/or sports drinks and nutrition available to you on court
11) Be patient. Officials have no control over weather or match lengths.
12) Report your score to the tournament desk and request your next match time if applicable. If you are out of the tournament, thank the tournament or site director for their efforts.

The Value of Front Court Skills in College Tennis
I've had several recruits ask for training suggestions as they make
the transition to college. A common theme between the three programs
I've been part of the past few years has been the amount of work put
into developing doubles skills, especially with freshmen. Recruiting
players who can make immediate contributions to the doubles lineup has
become harder to do, so my suggestion to young players in general is
to develop the ability to play the net.
Lewis, based out of Kalamazoo, Michigan, has seen every National
Championship final played there since 1977, and her work on the
tournament's ustaboys.com website led her to establish
where she comments on junior and college tennis daily.

Desperate times for Maple Leafs
Bruce Arthur, Postmedia NewsPublished: Wednesday, March 26, 2014
TORONTO - Over the span of a hockey season, so much can happen. So much has to happen. Eighty-two games, and every one is a chance for the puck to be taken and given away, to be shot and stopped, to be deflected and to bounce. Over the course of a season, everyone says, the bounces even out, and you get what you deserve, more or less.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have spent most of a season living dangerously, and managing it. They have spent most of a season playing without fear, even as they were outshot by vast margins, even as they clung to a playoff spot. They have skated and scored and goaltended their way out of trouble, and they have flown above the horizon.
But with eight games left they sit 10th, just outside the playoffs now in the Eastern Conference, riding six consecutive losses after they were nine points clear of the ninth-place Detroit Red Wings and New Jersey Devils. The St. Louis Blues are a bad matchup for almost any team, but in the first two periods of this 5-3 loss Toronto's skaters stopped in their tracks, like they couldn't believe what was happening in front of them. Captain Dion Phaneuf, in particular, had one of his worst games as a Leaf, and didn't talk to reporters afterwards.
Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Jonathan Bernier hugs the goal post as St. Louis Blues forward Brenden Morrow tries for the wrap around past Maple Leafs forward Nazem Kadri during third period NHL action in Toronto on Tuesday, March 25, 2014.
Nathan DenetteEmail to a friendPrinter friendly
"They put a lot of pressure on us," said winger Joffrey Lupul, who scored the game's first goal. "And we couldn't handle it."
By the end of the second period the fans were chanting "Let's go Blue Jays!" on a day the Jays lost a spring training game 22-5. The Leafs had brought back goaltender Jonathan Bernier, who was not believed to be 100 per cent healed from his groin injury. Desperate times. But he ran out of miracles early, and miracles were required. More will be required now.
"It was like we were frozen for 30 minutes of the hockey game," said Leafs coach Randy Carlyle. "There's a lot of tension in our players. You could see it at the start of the game."
"It's more of a psychological thing than it is physical," said Lupul. "It seems like once we get down we're playing with no fear. We're letting some of our skill take over, our defencemen are rushing the puck out of our zone, making plays. And at the start of the game we seemed a little tentative."
Before the game the Leafs were telling themselves the streak was going to turn. They had slumped before this season and come out of it, even if it was statistically improbable success. They don't possess the puck. They are outshot by wider margins than almost any other team in the NHL, right there with Buffalo. It's a product of defensive incompetence, turnovers, system. The best teams in this area are Los Angeles, Chicago, San Jose, Boston. But of late, the Leafs felt they deserved more.
"We track scoring chances, our team does, and we're out-chancing the teams every night (when it was a five-game losing streak)," said Lupul before the game. "So you can look at that and say we're doing some things right, but at this time of the year it doesn't really matter anymore. It's all about wins. So you've got to translate that into getting more wins.
"And on the flip side, when we were winning games and getting out-chanced, we were saying the same thing in here: 'come on, what are we doing?' But now it's the time of year where it doesn't really matter how you get the job done. It needs to get done. It's been a topic of discussion in here; we're generating chances, we're not giving up near as many as we have, we're coming out on the wrong side of the game, so that doesn't really matter."
The possession rates have remained troublesome of late, and St. Louis out-shot and out-chanced the Leafs by miles. But Lupul is right about that last part. Some of their wins felt like hockey voodoo this season, but for the next two weeks that's not what matters. The Leafs are an awful defensive team, and that won't change much either way as the season ticks down.
As St. Louis coach Ken Hitchcock said Tuesday about coaching, "If you're doing all the work this time of year (instead of your players), you're in trouble." The Blues have a shot at the Presidents' Trophy, but had scored one goal in their previous three games, and lost two of them. They didn't worry.
"I don't want to say streaky, but the law of averages is going to come over time and even itself out," said Blues centre David Backes, before his hat trick. "At the (beginning)of the year we were putting up crooked numbers on a regular basis, maybe scoring a few that shouldn't have gone in, and now we're not getting goals on chances that should probably go in.
"That's going to even itself out, we've got to concentrate on the process, make sure that we're still doing all those things that create those chances, and know that we've got great players in here that when they get those chances they can bury them, and start putting up bigger numbers so it doesn't take a shutout to win games."
Backes puts the Blues system in simple terms: They control what they can control. They try to smother opposing teams, check them into oblivion, control the puck, manage the puck. Luck comes and goes, but structure wins out. It did Tuesday.
The Leafs talk about process, too, even if their process is a world apart. Lupul pointed to variables - Toronto's strong goaltending this season, their power play, their finishing ability. You could add shootouts, of which they've won nine.
But Toronto's season has been built on those less-steady variables, not structure, and now beating the math has to be the hope. An eight-game stretch run from ninth place is not about sustainable percentages, or at least, less. The smaller the sample size, the less representative the math can be. Anyone can have a hot streak, and that's what the Leafs had to hope for - more voodoo, more Bernier, more of their proprietary set of variables. When asked in the morning whether Bernier would return, Carlyle grinned and said, "Anything's possible." Call it a philosophy.

1 Hour
$24.99 (Season Pass) $4.99 (Individual Episode)
M for Mature
The Walking Dead Season 2 takes 16 months after the first season. You play as Clementine, who now has to grow up from the sweet little girl we knew from the last season and harden to the harsh world. It does show in All That Remains that Clementine has matured a bit so far, not being afraid of any walkers or taking a second thought about what to say to characters depending on what you choose.
The world sees Clementine much more differently than they did with Lee. Since Clementine is young, those around her don't trust her with tasks they could with Lee. However, Clementine's age does actually have a benefit. With her age, she is able to persuade people to take her side on issue. For example, Clementine comes upon a group that ends with an argument between them. You have the choice of which person to make them take your side. It's actually very intriguing on how you can make someone go from hating you to instantly feeling sorry for you. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this and no doubtfully, see how much of an impact it can make.
Now, the biggest question is, was Tellltale still able to pull off those emotional moments that make our therapy bills go through the roof for? Well, after the first five minutes of the episode, I can safely say Telltale still has it and isn't afraid to throw punches anymore.
Although Season 2 is like Season 1 with the tough choices, quick time events, and tear jerking moments, it did improve on graphics a tad bit, frame rate issues, and the awkward pauses between transitions. Seriously, it was very awkward to have the characters in Season 1 just stare at the screen while the game loaded up the next scene.
Episode 1: All That Remains was a great start to the season and makes us want to see how Clementine will make it through to the end with each episode. I doubt Telltale would make that easy for her though…I'm not ready to cry again…
The brutal storytelling remains the same
New cast of characters
Dark and moody
A bit slow at times
New cast has some old archetypes from the previous season
The Walking Dead Season 2 is off to a great start and while it may be slow in pace it doesn't pull any punches. If you're a fan of the previous season, like the walking dead comic or just like have your emotions toyed with. This season promises to be as brutal as before.

:: IUCN Red List raises more red flags for threatened species
Almost 80% of temperate slipper orchids and over 90% of lemurs are threatened with extinction, according to the latest update of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™. The newly assessed Japanese Eel has been listed as Endangered, while the Brazilian Three-banded Armadillo – the mascot of the 2014 FIFA World Cup – remains Vulnerable as its population continues to decline. The IUCN Red List, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, now includes 73,686 assessed species, of which 22,103 are threatened with extinction.
:: Dangerous nitrogen pollution could be halved
The most important fertilizer for producing food is, at the same time, one of the most important risks for human health: nitrogen. Chemical compounds containing reactive nitrogen are major drivers of air and water pollution worldwide, and hence of diseases like asthma or cancer. If no action is taken, nitrogen pollution could rise by 20 percent by 2050 in a middle-of-the-road scenario, according to a study now published by scientists of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. Ambitious mitigation efforts, however, could decrease the pollution by 50 percent. The analysis is the very first to quantify this.
:: As well as its energy efficiency, do not lose sight of a building's water efficiency
By using peripherally treated greywater with the help of GEP greywater systems, about 10% of all the operating costs can be saved, even in residential buildings with ultra-modern energy systems. Important building blocks in "green" building technology: Greywater usage. The topic of energy efficiency is on everyone's lips and is rightly enjoying a high level of importance in the media, in politics and in society. Renewable energies and fossil fuels are being used efficiently together. The cooperation and coexistence of different energy sources and the peripheral usage often offer the most economic solutions.
:: Cultural world heritage threatened by climate change
From the Statue of Liberty in New York to the Tower of London or the Sydney Opera House – sea-level rise not only affects settlement areas for large parts of the world population but also numerous sites of the UNESCO World Heritage. This is shown in a new study by Ben Marzeion from the University of Innsbruck and Anders Levermann from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research.
:: Turning the tide on Europe's Oceans and Seas
A new report published today paints a worrying picture of Europe's seas. The Commission's analysis, which will be presented at the "Healthy Oceans – Productive Ecosystems" (HOPE) conference in Brussels on 3-4 March, shows a marine environment that will require urgent efforts to reach good status by 2020. Environment Commissioner Janez Potočnik said: "The message is clear: Europe's seas and oceans are not in good shape. But we depend on these seas, and we need to find a balance. That means finding ways to reap their economic potential without increasing the pressure on an already fragile environment, creating growth and jobs that are secure in the long term."
:: Pollen influences optical properties of the atmosphere
Laser measurements show: pollen has considerably influence on air qualityLeipzig, Germany. Pollen reflects more sunlight than previously known, and makes up to one third of the total amount of aerosol particles in the atmosphere. Aerosol particles influence optical depth which provides a measure of the opacity of the atmosphere. These results, reported by scientists of the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) in Korea and the Leibniz-Institute of Tropospheric Research (TROPOS), are published in the research journal Atmospheric Environment. This study is the first to investigate the optical properties of natural pollen with a laser operating at 532-nm emissionwavelength.
:: Study: Arctic seafloor methane releases double previous estimates
The seafloor off the coast of Northern Siberia is releasing more than twice the amount of methane as previously estimated, according to new research results published in the Nov. 24 edition of the journal Nature Geoscience. The East Siberian Arctic Shelf is venting at least 17 teragrams of the methane into the atmosphere each year. A teragram is equal to 1 million tons.
:: Provisional Statement on Status of Climate in 2013
Continuing high temperatures globally and many climate extremes worldwide. The year 2013 is currently on course to be among the top ten warmest years since modern records began in 1850, according to the World Meteorological Organization. The first nine months, January to September, tied with 2003 as the seventh warmest such period on record, with a global land and ocean surface temperature of about 0.48°C (0.86°F) above the 1961–1990 average.
:: Greenhouse Gas Concentrations in Atmosphere Reach New Record
The amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere reached a new record high in 2012, continuing an upward and accelerating trend which is driving climate change and will shape the future of our planet for hundreds and thousands of years. The World Meteorological Organization's annual Greenhouse Gas Bulletin shows that between 1990 and 2012 there was a 32% increase in radiative forcing – the warming effect on our climate – because of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other heat-trapping long-lived gases such as methane and nitrous oxide.
:: Aerial pictures reveal climate change
New system for early detection of plant spread in water bodies. As a result of climate change, certain undesirable aquatic plants are starting to invade German water bodies. Even popular recreation areas like Lake Starnberg have been affected, leading to a growing need to monitor the spread of these plants. Up to now, regular monitoring has proven to be a costly process. But in a new approach, researchers at Technische Universität München (TUM) have developed a quicker and less expensive method.

It seems like every time David and Charles Koch are attacked on MSNBCS's "Morning Joe", Joe Scarborough raises the brother's charity as a defense. Surely Joe remembers what Jesus had to say about good works:
Matthew 6:1-4
English Standard Version (ESV)
Giving to the Needy
6 "Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
2 "Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
Joe Scarborough keeps promoting good works done by Koch Bros ("Morning Joe")
@Morning_Joe @joeNBC I know your Baptist church does not teach Koch good works will get them into Heaven. @morningMika #Christianity

"Joe Scarborough: Chris Christie 'distraction' for RGA"
Which of our Founding-Fathers would 'shutdown the government'?
Are you tired of seeing Ted Cruz mouthing off on TV? Why does the media keep showing his rants? Only one other prominent Republican, Mike Lee, echoes what Cruz is saying. (And, then there is Sarah Palin.) It can't be said enough that Ted Cruz and the Tea Party have been trying to tear down the U.S. government for three years. Freshman Senator,Ted Cruz is using the Tea Party to gain national prominence. Note: You don't see/hear the media touting the many accomplishments of Ted Cruz and the Tea Party. OBSTRUCTION IS NOT GOVERNING! Our Founding-Fathers would be ashamed of Ted Cruz, the Tea Party and their corruption of the legislative process. Joe Scarborough described Ted Cruz as a "surrender monkey"…"running around trying to not look like a fool." Ted Cruz is hardly a fool. He is a Harvard graduate. He sees the many Americans who won't speak out about the travesty that is the 113th Congress and Speaker John Boehner. Cruz is using this vacuum to legitimize his run for the Presidency in 2016. Ted Cruz is a freshman. What has the man done but spout vitriol? What legislation bears his name? What bi-partisan coalitions has he forged in the Senate to get the people's business done? How many days has he actually spent in the Senate? Ted Cruz is merely a slick-haired freshman with a big mouth! —GoodOleWoody

text: London University Apologizes to Students After Censoring Muhammad and Jesus Cartoons Print article Send a Tip by Raheem Kassam 28 Dec 2013 post a comment The London School of Economics (LSE), the alma mater of alumni such as former U.S. President John F. Kennedy, billionaire George Soros, and blundering economist Paul Krugman, has suffered embarrassment this month after it was revealed that students wearing satirical "Jesus and Mo" t-shirts were forced to cover up by campus security. The university has now apologized and climbed down from its earlier positions on the matter, admitting that the wearing of the t-shirts did not amount to harassment or contravene the law or LSE policies, as was originally claimed. In October it was reported that two students, Chris Moos and Abhishek Phadnis, were accosted by university management and security staff, and ordered to remove "offensive" t-shirts which depicted the Muslim prophet Muhammad, as well as Jesus Christ. The pair are part of the university's Atheist, Secularist, and Humanist (ASH) Society, and the t-shirts were merchandise from a popular satirical cartoon entitled "Jesus and Mo." But for some students, namely Community and Welfare Officer Anneessa Mahmood, Deputy Chief Executive Jarlath O'Hara, and Anti-Racism Officer Rayhan Uddin, the "offense" caused was too great. The ASH society's posters were literally torn down, and those wearing certain t-shirts were told to cover-up or face disciplinary action. Phandis described the entire scenario as "Kafkaesque," and many noted the severe nature of the LSE's enforcement. Initially, the pair stood their ground and refused to remove the shirts. They were quickly surrounded by LSE security staff, and told they were failing to behave in an "orderly and responsible manner," and that wearing the t-shirts could be considered "harassment." Moos and Phandis agreed to put their coats on at this point, obscuring the t-shirts, but returned the next morning with the same apparel, albeit with the word "CENSORED" across the front. Once again, they were asked to remove the "offending" items. At the time, Phandis wrote: We categorically deny [wishing to cause offense], and struggle to fathom how such innocuous t-shirts, which contain neither threats, nor racist taunts, nor foul language, could support such an accusation. Forcing us to cover up a harmless likeness of the prophets amounts to demanding we obey religious law to avoid upsetting the religious. What is the freedom of expression if not the freedom of the heretic who thinks differently? The LSE, after its own investigation into the matter, released a statement earlier this month acknowledging their censorious mistakes: The London School of Economics and Political Science has today apologised to two students from the LSE Students' Union Atheist Secularist and Humanist Society (ASH) who wore t-shirts depicting Mohammed and Jesus at the SU Freshers' Fair on 3 October 2013 and who were asked to cover their t-shirts or face removal from the Fair. The Director of the School, Professor Craig Calhoun, has written to the students acknowledging that, with hindsight, the wearing of the t-shirts on this occasion did not amount to harassment or contravene the law or LSE policies. But the apology also sought to excuse staff behavior on the day in question, stating that, "Members of staff acted in good faith and sought to manage the competing interests of complainant students and [Moos and Phandis] in a way that they considered to be in the best interests of all parties on the days in question." While the London School of Economics has long-claimed that its stance towards freedom of expression is unshakeable, especially with relation to extremist speakers and even staff members, it appears that on this occasion, the university balked. The incident is not the first time that atheist societies on campus have been discriminated against for fear of "offense" being caused. In 2012, Reading University censured students for labeling a pineapple "Mohammed," while University College London students argued bitterly last year after the atheist society used a Jesus and Mo cartoon depicting the two religious prophets drinking alcohol together. The London School of Economics incidents marks yet another rough year for the university, which has recently been embroiled in a scandal involving funding from deposed Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, as well as a debacle surrounding an internally organized trip to North Korea.

Kwame Kilpatrick trial: Day 1 of jury selection
Updated On: Sep 06 2012 09:14:06 AM EDT
The biggest challenge: seating a racially-balanced jury in the 'Kilpatrick enterprise' trial. In fact, was a big part of Thursday's drama playing out in federal court in the case against Kwame Kilpatrick, his father and two others.
Inside the courtroom the former mayor, his friend contractor Bobby Ferguson and Kilpatrick's father were relaxed. Former Detroit water boss Victor Mercado sat far away from the others and never looked their way during jury selection.
Special section for Kwame Kilpatrick's federal trial
There are more than 250 potential jurors who come from 9 southeast Michigan counties: Jackson, Monroe, Sanilac, Lenawee, Oakland, Washtenaw, Macomb St. Clair, and Wayne.
The goal is finding 12 people and 6 alternates that both prosecutors and the defense teams agree on. The biggest challenge is seating a racially balanced jury. Final tally on the day Friday was 5 jurors were excused and 11 were accepted into the pool of 66. Fifty-five more potential jurors are needed.
Of the jurors who were questioned today: 2 black females, 1 asian male, 5 white males, 7 white females and one person excused due to illness.
Download Kwame Kilpatrick Trial app
Both defense attorneys and the prosecution easily on which jurors would be excused.
One potential juror told the attorneys he had never, in his entire life, heard a racial slur.
--Bernard Kilpatrick
Local 4 Defender Kevin Dietz asked Bernard Kilpatrick about that as he left the courtroom. Kilpatrick replied, "I don't know what world he is living in."

PALM HARBOR, Fla. – Kevin Streelman finally won on the PGA Tour with a game that looked as if he had done this many times before.
Streelman didn't make a bogey over the final 37 holes on the tough Copperhead course at Innisbrook. He didn't miss a shot over the last 11 holes on his way to a 4-under 67 on Sunday for a two-shot win in the Tampa Bay Championship.
Boo Weekley, who teed off three hours before the leaders, had a tournament-best 63 and waited to see if that would be enough.
Streelman, locked in a battle with Justin Leonard over the final hour, came up with one clutch shot after another. He hit 5-iron into 6 feet on the par-3 13th hole, the toughest at Innisbrook in the final round, to take the lead for good.
Probably the best shot of my life in that situation, Streelman said. It's just how I envisioned it and I pulled it off.
He locked up the win with a 20-foot birdie putt on the par-3 17th and he was all smiles walking up the 18th fairway. Until Sunday, the biggest tournament Streelman won might have been the club championship at Whisper Rock.
He won in his 153rd start on the PGA Tour, and it sends him to the Masters next month for the second time in his career.
That was really cool, Streelman said. I just stayed really patient, and I had a peace about me today.
He finished at 10-under 274.
Cameron Tringale had a 66 and finished alone in third when Leonard, who earlier made bogey from the bunker on the 16th, three-putted the final hole for a 71. Leonard wound up in a tie for fourth with defending champion Luke Donald (69) and Greg Chalmers (70).
The other big winner was Jordan Spieth, the 19-year-old from Texas who holed a 50-foot chip for birdie on the 17th hole and made a 7-foot par putt on the final hole for a 70 to tie for seventh.
Until making that chip, Spieth was projected to be $195 short of the temporary membership, which is based on earning the equivalent of 150th on the money list last year.
That would have been brutal, he said with a grin. But it's nice to get the crowd excited on 17. That was one of the coolest shots I've ever hit. That was as loud as it gets. But yeah, if I was $200, short, I would have just asked if I could pay them $200.
LPGA: In Phoenix, Stacy Lewis won the LPGA Founders Cup to jump to No. 1 in the world, taking advantage of Ai Miyazato's collapse on the 16th hole.
A day after Lewis was penalized two strokes for her caddie's blunder on the short par 4, the American took a two-stroke lead with a birdie on the hole after Miyazato made a double bogey following an errant approach shot that left her with an unplayable lie in a desert bush.
Coming off a victory two weeks ago in Singapore, Lewis won for the seventh time in her LPGA Tour career to end Yani Tseng's 109-week run at No. 1.
CHAMPIONS: In Newport Beach, Calif., David Frost won the Toshiba Classic, shooting a final-round 65 to defeat Fred Couples by five strokes and tie the tournament record of 19-under 194 set by Jay Haas in 2007.
Frost joined 2011 winner Nick Price as the only golfers to lead wire to wire in the event's 19 years. It was his fourth career Champions Tour victory and first since last year's AT&T Championship in San Antonio.

SIMFEROPOL, Ukraine (AP) - Associated Press journalists say hundreds of unidentified gunmen have just arrived outside Ukraine's infantry base in Privolnoye in its Crimea region.
The convoy includes at least 13 troop vehicles each containing 30 soldiers and four armored vehicles with mounted machine guns. The vehicles - which have Russian license plates - have surrounded the base and are blocking Ukrainian soldiers from entering or leaving it.
Ukrainian soldiers, with clips in their weapons, have positioned a tank at the gate.
NATO's top official says Russia's military intervention in Ukraine is in violation of the U.N. charter and threatens peace and security in Europe.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen spoke Sunday before going into a meeting of the North Atlantic Council, the alliance's political decision-making body.
"What Russia is doing now in Ukraine violates the principles of the United Nations charter. It threatens peace and security in Europe. Russia must stop its military activities and threats," he said.
The NATO secretary general said he called the meeting "because of Russia's military action in Ukraine and because of President (Vladimir) Putin's threats against this sovereign nation."
Rasmussen said officials will discuss Russia's activities in the Crimean Peninsula and "their implications for European peace and security and for NATO's relationship with Russia."
