On Jimmer Fredette, Cool Runnings, James Posey and the power of the right role
Do you remember the scene in Cool Runnings, when the crowd all starts to get Jamaica fever?
The Jamaican team, led by Derice Bannick (and Sanka's egg-kissing technique), is taking over the Olympic bobsledding track one surprisingly fast run at a time. Their push starts, aided by three near-Olympic sprinters and the best pushcart driver in all of Jamaica, allow the Jamaicans to fly down the ice, and not even a fat, former cheater of a coach can keep the world from falling head over heals for this lovable band of bobsledding rookies. The announcers discuss the increased adoration being thrown Jamaica's way, ultimately unzipping their jackets to reveal their own Jamaica shirts.
"Ah, what the heck," says one announcer. "Go Jam!"
I'm kind of like those announcers. I normally try to stay away from discussing college basketball in this space, but last night drew me in. Ah, what the heck. Go Jimmer.
But this post isn't an ode to Jimmer Fredette — I imagine there will be enough of those written in the coming months. Fredette's a certified star, a scorer without a conscience, a scorer who has yet to be stopped by any amount of double- (and sometimes even triple-) teams. If he hasn't already (and, after last night, I suspect he has), Fredette will become this year's Stephen Curry or Adam Morrison — a one-man show in a lesser league, destined to tear out opponents' hearts while intriguing fans by the boatload. He'll get his (well-deserved) shine this season, even if I don't write a single word about him.
No, this post goes out to Fredette's teammates. The selfless, gritty blokes who sacrifice shots and touches on a nightly basis, all so they can help their team win. The all-heart bastards who would rather pass the ball to their superstar teammate than shoot a lower-percentage shot themselves. The tough guys who throw their bodies around, who set mean screens for 40 straight minutes, who box out, who hedge screens, who dive on the floor, and who do it all with zero fanfare. Fredette's teammates are the offensive linemen of college basketball. They help make winning possible, but never accumulate gaudy stats or the average fan's adoration.
One thing last night's BYU-San Diego St. affair reaffirmed is this: a team doesn't need to have more talent to win; it just has to have pieces that all fit together. BYU wasn't more talented than San Siego St. Not one through twelve, at least. If San Diego St. played BYU in a Ryder Cup-like string of one-on-one matches, San Diego St. would win every time. But this isn't the Ryder Cup, it's basketball, and so group synergy plays into the final results. BYU didn't have more collective talent, but the Cougars have Jimmer Fredette, and they surround him with four players who all know their roles and remain committed to those roles all the time. On most nights, that synergy will be enough to win games.
Which (finally) takes me to the Celtics, and the NBA. There are certain teams that play beyond their individual capabilities. It's difficult for me to say the Celtics are one of those teams, because they (still, even at their ages) have so much star power. But I'm going to say it anyway: these Celtics play better as a whole than they would as individuals. There's something about "Rondo as distributor; Pierce as slasher/scorer/occasional playmaker; Allen as shooter; Garnett as provider of all things; and PerkShaq as big man/enforcer/occasional finisher/(hopefully) rebounder" that meshes perfectly. These Boston Celtics play off each other like Abbott and Costello. Which reminds me, Who's on first.
The synergy I speak of is part of the reason James Posey didn't play nearly as well once he left Boston. In Boston, the Celtics needed Posey to do only what he does best. He needed to defend, dive on the floor after loose balls, annoy the opponent, make open three-pointers, and, yes, hug his teammates before games. When his next teams (New Orleans and Indiana) needed playmakers, Posey could not oblige. That's not his game; he can't operate as a playmaker. Never mind that Posey has gotten older and lost a step (or two). Even in his prime, Posey fit best on good teams, teams that already had talented playmakers. Posey frees playmakers to make plays, and the playmakers free Posey to provide everything else. It's a mutually beneficial relationship, one that doesn't work if a team doesn't have enough playmakers.
Never mind that I just said the word playmakers 12 million times in a single paragraph. There are about 30 players in the NBA who would fit into any situation in the league. Lebron, Wade, Kobe, Howard, Paul, and I refuse to list the rest, because listing 30 players is quite tedious. After the top 30 (or so), players only help matters when they fit in. Look at Hedo Turkoglu as perhaps the most obvious example. In Toronto, and I'll put this mildly, Hedo sucked. In Phoenix, same thing. Now, back in Orlando, Turkoglu once again makes a positive impact.
Think about a player like "Old Shaq." Either the Cavaliers didn't know how to use Shaq last season, he simply didn't fit into their system, or the players surrounding Shaq did not help him. Whatever it was, Shaq held the Cavaliers back. His mere presence not only made them worse, but a lot worse. Did Shaq have nothing left in the tank? No. We see now he can still help a team, but — at this stage of his career — Shaq's a role player who has to be placed in the proper role to succeed. For players like Old Shaq, and most of the NBA, the situation has to be right. If you throw the wrong player into the wrong situation, what results is disaster.
The circle of life (or, in this case, the circle of a rambling post) leads me back to Jimmer and the Fredettes. If Noah Hartsock (one of BYU's tall, tough bastards) played for North Carolina, he probably wouldn't play a single minute. North Carolina isn't ranked, but still has a stable of big men far more talented than Hartsock. Yet BYU, the country's ninth-ranked team (and probably climbing), is perfectly content with Hartsock playing his role and playing it well.
When you see Hartsock, maybe you see a limited player who couldn't score 20 points if he was left all alone, in a gym, for two straight hours. But me? I see pride. I see power. I see a bad-ass mother, thriving in the perfect situation, who don't take no crap off of nobody.
One Response to "On Jimmer Fredette, Cool Runnings, James Posey and the power of the right role"
Would a Lebron James help the Celtics? Maybe not. Maybe he would make them a lesser team. I think that part of what you are talking about goes beyond someone being a role player. I think part of what you are talking about has to do with players who need to be part of a team concept. Think of Cowens, who became ineffectual when the Celts imploded around him in the late 70s, not because he needed to be in a certain role – few big men have been as versatile and well-rounded as Cowens – but because he needed to be in a team concept. You seem to be suggesting that the really good players, say, the top thirty, can fit in anywhere. I don't think so. Some of the '30′ you mention might not be a good fit with the Celts, for example. And Rajon Rondo, who is surely on or near par with anyone on that list, wouldn't be a success with just any team you put him on.

this is a real nice product worth every penny
pdieterich Posted:
I would not recommend this product. The tach is terrible. At idle, the needle bounces in a 300rpm delta. Then things get bad. At 65mph on my Shovel, when I know the motor is turning 3100rpm, the tach wanders - yes, wanders, does not spike or bounce - from 2100 to 3500rpm. The speedo however, works flawlessly.

Nice replacement piece, especially if you want to add a tach.

Works great. Perfect fit into my fatbobs.

great product. tach works well but does seem to have poor input at low rpm.
ras4jeep Posted:
Works good, tach a little jumpy down below 3k. But mostly functional and does the job.

Funny story by an ex-missionary/ ex CO mentioned in COC…

So a few months ago, I had dinner with an ex-missionary/ex-CO (mentioned in COC and Penton's "Apocalypse Delayed") and he had some really interesting and funny anecdotes about his time in Brooklyn Bethel and Spain. (I will ask him permission to reveal his name at a later time) But I just wanted to share one particular story that really made me laugh as it shows how ridiculous elders can behave after they've been thoroughly dumbed down by the WT leadership.
He explained that while he was serving in Spain, a trivial matter came up in one of his visits to a congo in Barcelona sometime in the late 70's. The elder body of that congo approached him for advice on handling an issue with a "problematic" brother who had feelings for a sister in his congo. This brother was apparently seen holding hands with this sister by several JWs on a number of occasions. There was even one JW who saw this brother kiss the sister on her cheek in a public place. He had been counseled several times about this but continued to hold hands with this sister as he saw nothing wrong with this.
Eventually, the elders approached the sister to counsel her as well. When the "problematic" brother found out that the elders had asked to meet with her, he immediately defended her honor and told the elders to back off as she was doing absolutely nothing wrong Biblically and that they need not talk to her about this matter at any time. He even asked the elders for Biblical basis for their meddling in something as inconsequential as two people in love holding hands. Of course, they came up empty and were completely stumped.
By this time, this CO arrives for his week-long visit and is almost immediately approached by the elders about this incredibly insignificant matter. After the elders got done giving this CO a long drawn-out explanation about what was going on and all the counseling they gave this brother, the CO's immediate response to the BOE was literally: "And???"… after which the elders just looked at each other in disbelief. And after a brief awkward silence, one of the elders asked the CO: "But shouldn't we be holding a Judicial Committee for the way he's behaving and for disrespecting our authority?" The CO said: "Look, it seems you are all spending way too much time dealing with ridiculous issues when you should be attending the needs of the congregation. I don't think we need to discuss this issue any further. If you really don't like my response, I strongly suggest that you write bethel about your concerns and ask them for direction. But as far as I'm concerned, this matter is closed." He then went on to the next subject on the agenda.
A few weeks go by and this CO is asked to temporarily oversee the Service Department at the Barcelona (or Madrid? don't remember which) bethel. Then one morning, one of the bethelites working the correspondence desk approached him with a letter in his hand. It was a letter from the BOE of the congo with the "problematic" brother. The bethelite asked the CO to read the letter and give him advice on how to respond. When the CO saw the letter he told the bethelite: "Don't worry about this letter brother, I'll handle this one." He then proceeded to answer the letter using numerous Biblical texts (forgot which ones, but he mentioned quite a few) to demonstrate just how ridiculous and vindictive the elders had become over such petty nonsense. Of course, when the BOE received the Service Dept's "response" to their letter, it's signed "Watchtower Bible & Tract" (as even the authors of letters are never revealed). So they had NO clue that the same CO that suggested writing to bethel was the same person who actually responded! That's just classic!!! What are the odds?
Anyway, this ex-missionary/ex-CO mentioned that he stayed in the Service Department a few months longer before being reassigned to another district in Spain and never heard anything else on the matter. But it just goes to show how some BOE's get caught up in the most insignificant BS while other more important matters are completely overlooked… By the way, this "ex-missionary/ex-CO" and his wife were ousted during the 1980 Brooklyn Bethel shake-down but they are doing just fine and are very happy.

So many of the Elders have NO other position with any kind of authority. They are dumbed down duds in dead end positions in life. All of a sudden they have authority over other peoples' lives. All of a sudden they believe they have God's magical HOLY SPIRIT giving them the wisdom of Solomon and directing their every thought.
When another person of the flock ignores them, as they easily see the ego overriding their reasoning, then Elder Dummy feels ignored, disrespected, foolish, and embarressed. The only other thing he can do is try to throw his Elder Title around to "earn" some respect -- something he's never had anywhere in life -- likely not even from his wife or children, who know better than anyone else what a dumbass he is.

No wonder this CO was ousted in the 1980s purge.
He didn't understand that there is nothing too trivial for the "faithful and discreet slave" organization to control.

The sad thing is that, based on my last congregation experience, I can perfectly believe this to be true.
The last body that I served with were so petty and vindictive that they could easily have reacted that way............

Ah yes, the deadly sin of holding hands...surely condemned somewhere in the ten comandments. That got me in trouble too back when I was "dating'. Just her, me and 15 chaperones making sure we don't touch. Very romantic.

That would certainly appear to be the case... However, this ex-missionary/ex-CO told me that, when he and his wife got kicked out of bethel, they weren't doing anything wrong at all... in fact, they were actually on the WT's side when that purge took place!!!... the problem they had was that they were close friends with the wrong bethelites (the ones doing independant bible research, etc..) and were assumed to be guilty by mere association... this really woke them up and eventually led to their complete departure from this twisted religion.

Good experience.
I've been in similar witch hunts. One situation, equally silly and without biblical backing created a 5 elder JC investigation. They interviewed a couple dozen people, trying to get to the bottom of the matter...to find a scapegoat. The crime? A get-together of a group of young people, aged 15 through 25, MSs included. Not a late night party... no alcohol... no loose conduct... just a group of people getting together and hanging out. You would've thought it was the crime of the century seeing the interrogations and tribunals that followed.
The only thing a bit askew in the original post is that the CO didn't grab his pitchfork and torch to join the elders... I'm sure there are COs who tire of all the stupidity and don't sweat the small things, but from my experiences, COs were sometimes the biggest dicks of all. The power and authority had corrupted them even more than the local elders, which is bad enough.

Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon Summary
Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon Review
Neon dragons that fire laser beams from their eyes in the worst/best '80s film never made..
Latest news
'Far Cry: The Wild Expedition' out February 21st, includes Far Cry Classic
The compilation bundle Far Cry: The Wild Expedition from Ubisoft will be out February 21st now, as it delays from the 14th. Ubisoft has released a new Far Cry Classic launch trailer, which is part of the bundle.
It's the original Far Cry updated with HD splendidness, and includes some beefed up game mechanics. It comes to PC at around £24.99, and £29.99 for consoles.
Ubisoft Shanghai contributing to "next Far Cry"
Once again Ubisoft Shanghai is aiding in the development of the Far Cry series, according to the LinkedIn profile of studio design manager Xavier Plagnal who's serving as "content director" on the project.
This would almost certainly be Far Cry 4, which Ubisoft has teased would be revealed 'soon'. Far Cry 3 propelled the series back into favour after the so-so Far Cry 2.
Ubisoft announce Far Cry: The Wild Expedition for PC and console February 14th
Ubisoft has just announced the impending arrival of Far Cry: The Wild Expedition which is a compilation of all Far Cry games, from the original all the way to the Blood Dragon.
It's expected to be reasonably priced to bring the cheer of hunting folks down, in jungle or desert, and using some rather serious firepower while doing it. It's due out February 14th.
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon may be getting retail release
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot revealed in a video interview with Game Informer that Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon sold over 1M units over three platforms digitally, and may be getting a retail release of its own.
New Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon update will add ability to reset garrisons
A new update coming to Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon will allow players to reset the garrisons, much like a similar update gave players the ability to reset outposts in Far Cry 3, to allow players in both games the enjoyment of taking them over again.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.—Aaron Thomas, who was arrested Friday in connection with rapes in four states over 12 years, is scheduled to be arraigned in Superior Court Monday.
Thomas, 39, is being held, with bail set at $1 million, at the Union Avenue jail, suspected in crimes police attributed to the "East Coast rapist," police spokesman Joseph Avery said.
Before his arrest, Thomas appeared to live a quiet life in a two-story home in New Haven that he shared with his girlfriend, often parking his tractor-trailer in front of the house, rarely bothering his neighbors.
He even owed money to the federal government.
But as the IRS pursued him in the past year for failing to pay more than $11,000 in taxes, a different set of federal agents set their sights on him over the past week. After receiving a tip from Virginia that Thomas might be the East Coast rapist, a task force of U.S. marshals and local police followed him around, looking for a chance to collect his DNA.
On Thursday, as Thomas waited outside a New Haven courthouse where he was to appear on a fourth-degree larceny charge in the theft of a bicycle in Woodbridge, he flipped a cigarette butt onto the ground, according to police.
Police and federal agents watching Thomas pounced, grabbing the cigarette butt and sending it to the state police forensic laboratory. Fast-tracked testing revealed that Thomas' DNA matched samples left at the scene of 12 rapes from Rhode Island to Virginia over a 12-year period, police said. He is a suspect in a total of 17 rapes.
He "is the East Coast rapist," Lt. Julie Johnson, spokeswoman for the New Haven Police Department, said at a brief news conference Saturday.
Thomas, whose last known address is 120 Pendleton St. in New Haven, was arrested at 2:15 p.m. Friday. He has been charged with first-degree sexual assault, first-degree burglary and risk of injury to a minor in connection with a 2007 rape in New Haven.
He also was charged by police in Prince William County, Va., as a fugitive from justice, and faces two counts of rape, abduction and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony in that state, Johnson said.
He is suspected of rapes in Maryland and Rhode Island, but has not been charged by authorities there.
"Although the information and investigation of Thomas developed quickly over the last week or so, we should point out that investigators worked tirelessly for years pursuing this case," Johnson said in a press conference Saturday, noting the recent efforts to generate new leads through a billboard campaign and website.
"We are proud of our investigation and hope the arrest of Aaron Thomas brings some closure to our victims and our communities."
"I'm hanging in there," said Thomas' sister, Tara, when she was contacted at her New Haven home Saturday. She declined to comment further.
Authorities from New Haven, Maryland and Virginia, brought in to question Thomas Friday evening, provided no further information at the news conference. They did not take any questions.
Aside from the description on wanted posters, little is known about the man who police suspect of raping and terrorizing women for more than a decade. Authorities believe he was working as a truck driver in Clarke County, Va., when he was cited for multiple traffic violations in 2005. Additional traffic violations documented in Fairfax County District Court in Virginia show that Thomas lived in the areas of Woodbridge and Berryville, Va. His mother still lives in Clarke County, according to public records.
The East Coast rapist's first attack was recorded just over 14 years ago, early in the morning of Feb. 19, 1997. A man wearing a ski mask rode a bicycle along the Marlboro Pike in Forestville, Va. Shortly after midnight, he approached a 25-year-old woman walking alone and started talking to her. Then he pulled out a gun and attacked, police said.
That rape was the first time the man's DNA would be entered into a criminal database. That summer, the same man raped a woman in Prince William County, but instead of a gun he used a knife. He is suspected in 10 more rapes throughout Virginia, Maryland, Rhode Island and Connecticut, as well as several other assaults.
In each case, victims reported similar details. The man would often approach a woman outdoors and threaten her with a weapon before raping her. Police said the suspect wore a black ski mask or hooded sweat shirt to conceal his face. After approaching the victim, the suspect would ask for money, giving the victim the impression that she was being robbed, but the man would not take anything after the assault, police said.
In the winter of 2007, Thomas reportedly made his way toward New Haven. Police said that on Jan. 10, a man entered a 27-year-old woman's bedroom through an open window around 1 a.m. He raped her while her 11-month-old son slept in a crib nearby, then fled, police said.
Avery said it is possible Thomas may be linked to more rapes around the region. Police have not released a mug shot yet in order not to prejudice other victims who want to come forward, Avery said.

There has been a slew of rumors that the new big breakthrough in gadgets will be smartwatches. Various companies like Apple and Google are rumored to be working on wearable high tech watches and now the Wall Street Journal is reporting that Microsoft will be another competitor in the developing market. Check out the details on Microsoft its possible smartwatche below.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Microsoft is currently developing a smartwatch. In the report it claims that Microsoft has been in talks with Asian suppliers to ship components required for the development of the device. Microsoft however had declined to comment on the recent rumors.
Back in 2004, the American software company developed a product under the name SPOT (Smart Personal Object Technology). The device was wearable and the user would be able to send instant messages from Windows Messenger, news headlines, stock information, and weather forecasts as part of a paid subscription service. Production of SPOT ceased in 2008 and it was completely cancelled late last year. Is Microsoft making a comeback in the wearable device market? Hopefully we will find out in the near future.

Man Builds IS300 With Baby Sized Turbo
No, not in the diminutive sense. I mean the turbo is literally the size of the baby. He's even stuck one in the engine bay to prove it!
Adorable child aside, that turbo is huuuge. This car is going to be a beast when they get done with it. The youtube page says that this is just a teaser, so I'm assuming there'll be more videos in the future.
Honestly I just want to see how much power he can wring out of the 2jz with that massive snail.

While equity holdings were severely diluted through state intervention, debt holders of some failed banks did not incur losses and were guaranteed by governments. To the extent that neither banks nor their creditors paid for this guarantee, it can be considered an implicit subsidy.

- lmw2 years, 3 months ago5 Likes #4Show comment tools ReplyIf you know you're going to Cineworld, buy the gift card beforehand. iTunes cards. Obviously they also gift cards so plenty of people buy them for birthdays and Christmas etc.
This is a deal. You get money off. You can't argue with that...

- Spud2112 years, 3 months ago1 Like #7Show comment tools ReplyWhy is this cold? It's a great deal...basically free fuel?
They sell Nando's vouchers which is how I'll be using this - one visit a month near enough which costs me around £20 each time. OK so it's not a load of money, but every little helps (or is that the wrong supermarket..;) )
They have Currys/PC World vouchers too so this could be very beneficial if you were to purchase say, a new TV.
- Dorsk2 years, 3 months ago #8Show comment tools ReplyI think the coldness is more due to the amount you save. Most people would only buy a £10-30 voucher for someone so 1-3p is quite poor (I'd want 5p minimum). I agree that you could buy the vouchers for yourself but I honestly can't see myself doing that very often with those stores (or remembering to do so).
- N1K0LAI_DAN7E2 years, 3 months ago1 Like #9Show comment tools Replypurchasing something at homebase, £100 voucher saves you 10p a litre off fuel etc.
- tomt822 years, 3 months ago1 Like #10Show comment tools ReplyGreat deal if you are a planner - sometimes I know I'm going to buy a voucher for something like iTunes, and I know I use a tank of diesel ever 2 weeks (55l) so if I spend £30 I'm saving £1.65. Not amazing by any means but better than nothing. On my tank size that's 5.5% cashback. I use Topcashback and Quidco for less than that on other things, so this is pretty decent. (And I can combine it with my 3% off morrisons Gift Vouchers from The Shopping Club that I've used for the last year)
- lrboylin2 years, 3 months ago #11Show comment tools ReplyOn one hand its a good deal if you are going to go shopping at these places but how many 'big purchase items' do people really buy?
I for one do not buy a new TV each week or cooker, that will be when the thing dies after a number of years. You would be better off getting a cash-back credit card as you will still earn and if you you link it to your quidco account you will earn cash-back (in certain stores)
I have a tesco credit card and its linked to my clubcard so i get points and money back like that, its not brilliant but it works out better than this deal. I think that this is a way of boosting high street shopping and get consumers back in the store. Shop online you will save more than what this deal offers.
And everyone knows what happens to gift cards after a while...I found one in a drawer that I received for my birthday....3 years ago!!
Money off = hot
How it works and what you have to spend = cold
- Spud2112 years, 3 months ago3 Likes #12Show comment tools ReplyWhy not get this, plus quidco, plus a cash back credit card ;) win win win then!
Fair enough it's only a small amount, and if you are poor enough to have to worry about exact pence/pounds then you shouldn't be going to nando's etc anyway so I get it.
Still, shows again how this site doesn't work that well w/r to voting when some truly awful deals get a lot of heat and then some things like this which are free money (ok, even if its only £20 a year) get buried. A good reason why true democracy would never work :D
- lovenuts2 years, 3 months ago #13Show comment tools Replydon't fall for this false offer when will you lot learn!!!!!!!!
- Nsk30122 years, 3 months ago #14Show comment tools ReplyI was not seeking much heat on this ..but i like the heated discussion that came up:p
N for all those who think it shouldnt get heat I would say..not all deals last..this site helps us all to grab momentary deals. .
even the grocery/travel/home etc. deals that are posted last for a fortnight or month n new ones keep coming up..
I just wanted to make a point that it could become a Deal Of The Week for someone who fits all the criteria..
So enjoy a few pennies back in your pocket while u can(_;)

Not a fan of nandos, but debenhams I.ll get a new bed £600 another 60p off per litre
And then drive my tank to the store and fill her up 500 litres that's a big saving..

no your not are you, your just about to get all your present for christmas, you usually drive around the 20 shops you need to get a gift card from them for your family as they shop there. instead you goto morrisons do your usual shop and get the gift cards there, get £200 worth, save 20p a litre on fuel, buy 40 litres, save £8.00 and also the hassle and fuel and parking charges of going to get these from individual shops!! not a saving at all is it? Go back to Asda you miserable sod!
- hapless2 years, 3 months ago1 Like #18Show comment tools ReplyI presume you can use the gift cards for online purchases?
Then surely you can profit from this? If you can plan your purchases (and with this site, who doesn't?) then it's easy?!
Also don't forget, Morrisons regularly discount their iTunes cards, so bigger savings - it's part of the fun?
Have some heat Op, I like it 8)

- Bossworld2 years, 3 months ago #20Show comment tools ReplyIf your work does any reward gateway type scheme you can get much easier savings than fannying on with this.
E.g. ours does a reloadable Sainsburys gift card, where you pay £95 for £100 of credit. That can be used as their fuel stations so an instant 5% off petrol (so about 6.7p off a litre).
Boots is a straight 10% off using the same thing. No fees for the card or topping it up.

this report said nothing besides the fact that humans don't know anything concerning the weather, besides how to gain credibility for a conspiracy that they help conjure up from nothing. the heading says everything, but the actual report says nothing. and yet we still have people on the band-wagon saying humans are destroying Earth, thanx judith walker for not reading.

Published October 31, 2013
The ocean depths may store more heat from global warming than suspected, suggests a 10,000-year record of past ocean temperatures measured in Indonesian seafloor cores.
At the same time, since 1950 Pacific Ocean waters have been warming at a rate 15 times faster than the rest of the seafloor, as reported in the journal Science.
"Under normal, natural conditions the oceans are a buffer for temperature changes in the atmosphere," says study lead author Yair Rosenthal of Rutgers University in New Jersey. "But right now, we are completely out of equilibrium." (See "What is Global Warming?")
Because the ocean depths are thought to absorb about 90 percent of the excess heat seen from global warming, increased attention has turned to their heat-absorbing capabilities in recent years.
Much of the roughly seven inches (18 centimeters) of average sea-level rise seen globally in the last century stems from "thermal expansion" of the oceans as they absorb heat. (See video: "A Way Forward: Facing Climate Change.")
The effect is expected to add almost two feet (61 centimeters) of sea-level rise, on average, to coasts worldwide in this century, leaving aside the effects of melting glaciers.
Seafloor Secrets
In the study, Rosenthal and his colleagues analyzed tiny, shelled creatures called foraminifera that pile up on the ocean floor and have preserved a record of past seawater temperatures from the last 10,000 years. (See also "Global Warming.")
The ratio of magnesium to calcium in the shells of the tiny single-celled creatures indicates the ocean temperatures at their time of formation. So the team could look at changes in this ratio to see shifts in ocean temperatures over time.
The scientists looked at two seafloor records from Indonesian water at depths of 1,480 to 3,018 feet (455 to 920 meters). The sites were selected because they are seen as representative of places where Pacific Ocean waters have mixed for millennia.
The study improves on recent work on past ocean temperatures, chiefly because it is looking at multiple sites from multiple depths, says paleoclimate expert David Anderson of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climatic Data Center, located in Boulder, Colorado.
"Any story that can tell us how the upper 1,000 meters [of the ocean] warms and cools as the Earth's energy balance changes is of interest," says Anderson.
Ocean Thermometer
Overall, the ancient shells tell a story of long-term cooling of ocean waters, a drop ranging from 1.5 to 2.2 degrees Celsius (2.7 to 3.8 degrees Fahrenheit) across the depth, starting from roughly 7,000 years ago until the Middle Ages.
The records also discern a bump in temperatures during a warm period around the year 1200, followed by a drop during the Little Ice Age that stretched from 1550 to 1850.
"What we see is that it takes decades for the ocean to absorb changes in surface temperatures," Rosenthal says. "Clearly there is warming going on now, and there is some possibility of [the ocean] serving as a bigger buffer for [warming].
"But we need to understand the ocean better before we can say that with confidence," he cautions.
Follow Dan Vergano on Twitter.
And it is rising more and more during storms and leaving people with no sand in front of their homes, as any individual who has ever even visited anyone who owns an oceanfront home can attest to.
Its FACT that humans are DESTROYING the planet.
there is more garbage in this report than there is floating in the ocean ...
This sort of alarmist nonsense is the last busted flush of the IPCC and their acolytes, who think that no one actually has any access to the ARGO buoy system, or sea level information, and can see the absolute fallacy of this nonsense
Hippies hippies hippies galore
This shows that global warming could be a possibility.
Just another indication that we are warming our world. Emissions and deforestation are the main causes. Join the efforts to change course.
The Ocean Conveyor Belt is the principal mechanism by which the oceans store and transport heat. Since salinity is a key ingredient in the global thermohaline circulation, its measured value will help to discover how its variation induces change in global ocean circulation.
@Ian Sloan can you add a link please to access the data of the ARGO buoy system that should prove the contrary? I looked for it but couldn't find it.
@Ian Sloan Could you explain both what exactly you think is garbage about this and what the motivation might be for international bodies to distort science? And your degrees and qualifications? While you're at it, I'd like a full explanation of the ocean chemistry behind your readings of the data?

Bill allowing soldiers to purchase guns without permits advances in Iowa House
Active members of the military could purchase handguns without a permit under legislation that advanced with bipartisan support in the Iowa House on Monday. Under current law, most individuals buying or acquiring pistols or revolvers in the state must first obtain a permit from the local sheriff. There are exceptions, however, ...
Proposal to cut salaries for judges who decided Iowa same-sex marriage case goes nowhere in House
For a few minutes Thursday on the Iowa House floor, it looked as though an uncontroversial budget bill funding the state's court system would become the latest flashpoint in the debate over same-sex marriage. The $167.7 million spending plan is largely agreed upon by Republicans and Democrats in the House and ...

House Republicans Vote for Bigger Government in Education Bill
I'll be quick to point out that House Republicans did nonpublic schools a great service in stripping out most of the harmful elements in Governor Branstad's education bill.

Iowa Republicans pass nation's toughest abortion restrictions
Iowa would have the toughest abortion restrictions in the nation and critics say would almost certainly face an expensive constitutional challenge under a bill passed today by House Republicans without any debate.

Lawmaker: Impeachment of Iowa judges in not dead
One of the representatives leading an effort to impeach four Iowa Supreme Court justices said the measure isn't dead despite opposition from leaders in his party.

Effort to change how Iowa judges are selected fails in the House
An effort to change the way Iowa's judges are selected was defeated today after both parties declined to suspend rules to take an official vote. The proposal from Rep.

Prohibit Supreme Court from ruling on marriage, Republicans say
County recorders would be prohibited from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples and the Iowa Supreme Court would be unable to rule on the issue under a new bill sponsored by six conservative House Republicans.

December 6th was truly a night to remember this year. Alex Grey's Net of Being Tour made a stop in at 1015 Folsom in San Francisco. This tour has been making its way around the country in support of the release of Alex's new book, Net of Being. You might recognize his name from the amazing psychedelic art he produces, some of which is featured in the poster above.
Our friends at Euphonic Conceptions brought the heat with some great music to curate the night. NiT GriT, GladKill, and Teebs headlined the show. All three of them played in the main room at 1015 Folsom, while Alex Grey and his wife Allyson continued to paint for a couple hours on a large painting that was set up on the opposite side of the room from the DJ booth. You can see Alex delicately putting detail into that painting in the picture above. We arrived right as NiT GriT was getting the crowd hyped up with some filthy bass lines. He is one amped up performer. It was fun watching him get just as into his set as a lot of the crowd.
Next up, GladKill took the stage and began soothing the crowd into submission with his sensual and sexy tunes. Although I have been listening to his music for a while, this was my first opportunity to see him live. It was really a privilege to watch him "work." His set featured only his original tracks from what I could tell, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
I had never heard of Teebs before this, so was unsure of what to expect of him. I should of known that he would play some experimental type stuff, knowing that he is on Brainfeeder Records which is run by Flying Lotus. He grabbed the mic and announced to the crowd as he began his set that he was going to get a little different, and he hoped everyone was ok with that. He really subdued the crowd with his sound.
There is another artist who graced the bill for the evening, who I am excited to say recently did an Exclusive Mix for us here at MusicYouNeed. Smasheltooth was featured upstairs on the Beat Church stage. I was stoked to make it up there to catch her super hyphy set before the end of the night. Check out her MusicYouNeed Exlcusive Mix below!

History was always written by those in charge, but more and more, historians are turning to the records left by ordinary people. With Fascist Voices, Christopher Duggan explores letters and diaries of Italians during the rise of Fascism and the rule of Mussolini. He lucidly exposes the reality of
