Aaron David Miller: Syria Is Not Obama's Rwanda
Aaron David Miller is vice president for current initiatives at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and has advised Democratic and Republican secretaries of state on the Middle East. His books include the forthcoming Can America Have Another Great President?
Who lost Syria? Comments of some U.S. senators, analysts and journalists, including the editorial board of this newspaper, suggest there is no doubt: Bashar al-Assad and his thugocracy are primarily responsible for the killings, but the tragedy of Syria is also a direct result of a terrible failure of leadership on the part of the international community, and of the United States in particular.
Syria, it is charged, is Barack Obama's Rwanda.
Don't believe it.
The idea that Syria was anyone's to win or lose, or that the United States could significantly shape the outcome there, is typical of the arrogant paternalism and flawed analysis that have gotten this country into heaps of trouble in the Middle East over the years.
One of the virtues of the Arab Spring/Winter is that Arab people came to own their politics — for better or worse. This sense of ownership was often painful to watch — democracy isn't always liberal — but it brought authority and legitimacy to the political turbulence roiling that region since late 2010. That made change real and home-grown. The United States and Israel were not central to the myths, tropes and narratives of these historic changes, nor should they be.
Some have argued for intervention by attempting to draw a parallel to Libya: We helped the rebels bring down Moammar Gaddafi, this thinking goes. Why not do the same in Syria?
Three interconnected realities provide the answer...

This England-based company was one of the first to offer "natural" products in freestanding stores. Founder Anita Roddick opened her first shop in 1976, and the store's success spurred her husband to turn the business into a franchise opportunity, thus spawning the opening of several more stores across England and, by the end of the 1980s, the United States. As Roddick has commented, the timing of her stores and their merchandise occurred just as Europe was "going green." It is not unrealistic to speculate that were it not for the success of The Body Shop, companies such as Aveda, Origins, and numerous others may not have started on such sure footing. Most consumers are drawn to products with natural ingredients, even though those from The Body Shop, like many other companies claiming natural, use the same standard cosmetic ingredients seen throughout the industry. If anything, The Body Shop's worldwide expansion has caused them to rely less on natural ingredients and more on robust, effective, synthetic ingredients. Can you imagine the smell of millions of bottles of Banana Shampoo rotting in a warehouse?
A somewhat controversial business transaction occurred in 2006 when L'Oreal purchased The Body Shop. Fans of the brand and its stance on animal testing protested that this corporate marriage made for strange bedfellows given L'Oreal's dodgy history with animal testing. The acquisition had many consumer groups focused on ethical and organic business practices calling the sale a cop-out and accusing Roddick of selling out to "the enemy." Roddick commented that the sale had more to do with L'Oreal wanting to learn more about community trade, which could prove a financial windfall for the developing nations and tribes The Body Shop has conducted business with for years. (Sources: www.cosmeticsdesign.com/news/ng.asp?n=66584-l-oreal-the-body-shop-takeover-ethical; and http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4894854.stm). Regardless of motivation or ethical issues, what's certain is that L'Oreal's financial and developmental clout will allow the continued expansion of The Body Shop, although in terms of product improvements, you'll find more signs of that with the makeup than the skin-care products because that is L'Oreal's strength.
An attractive point of difference for this line is their ongoing commitment to environmental and social causes as well as fair trade and animal rights advocacy. For those efforts, the company (fueled by Roddick's personal passion for such issues) deserves high marks. If only the products were as sensible as the company's Mission Statement! It's not that there aren't good products to be found in The Body Shop's familiar green-trimmed stores, but far too many of them are ordinary formulations whose natural ingredients make little impact aside from looking good on the label. And many products contain irritating natural ingredients or fragrance components that place them a notch below the competition. This is not a company that has kept up with the latest research in what skin needs to look and feel its best. Instead, most of their products take a one-note approach to skin care, forcing customers to choose whether they want the benefits of vitamin C or E, seaweed, aloe, or a host of others—several of which have so-so benefit for skin, or less so in the amounts included in The Body Shop's products. Still, the line has remained affordable and is readily available, and so as long as you pay attention to the products that are worth your time and money, The Body Shop has some effective products in store for you.
Postscript: The Body Shop's founder, Anita Roddick, passed away in September 2007 at the age of 64. Although through the years we have had my issues with several of her company's products, it must be said that her business acumen and worldwide humanitarian efforts deserve accolades. She was a unique, passionate businesswoman, and we have no doubt her input will be sorely missed.

The Body Shop Makeup
Makeup isn't the main attraction at The Body Shop, at least if you survey the store and notice the small display compared to shelf after shelf of body lotions, butters, scrubs, and shower gels. Yet if you're drawn to the makeup display you will find it is nicely organized, with product labels and prices in plain view, plenty of testers and mirrors, and even a bit of counter space for your purse. It's an inviting setup, and the sales staff is low key and willing to let you play, which is always a plus. As it turns out, L'Oreal's acquisition of The Body Shop has paid off handsomely for the makeup, which received a much-needed spiffing-up in October 2006. Several products were reformulated, new products (mostly improvements) debuted, and the packaging improved both functionally and visually. Due to the extra attention paid to the makeup you will find some outstanding options for foundation, powder, liquid eyeliner, makeup brushes, and creamy lipsticks. The prices are reasonable too, but they're no bargain if you don't shop this line carefully. Still, L'Oreal has infused some panache into a makeup collection whose core products were becoming ho-hum, and the changes are welcome!
After trying this for a few days, I noticed that my face started to feel as if there was an oily, heavy like film all over it. I realized it is from this cleanser. I even started to break out and I rarely break out! I normally use Paula's Choice Resist Optimal Results Hydrating Cleanser and had excellent success but ran out and needed something quickly. The body shop cleanser is a horrible product at least for my skin.
It's so gentle and doesn't irritate my very sensitive skin. It also has a lovely natural scent and a little bit goes a long way. Would highly recommend this!
I like this product a lot. It is definitely soothing, like it says, and I get NO bad reaction. It's feels to be more a lotion than a cleanser. The only thing I don't love is the bottle, which is made of a very thick unyielding plastic, so you squeeze hard to get the soap out. It would be great if they'd make it with a pump. Doesn't stop me from buying it though.
I bought this product because it was reviewed so well on this website. It is a nice, gentle cleanser which doesn't irritate my skin (I have extremely sensitive skin). My only problem is that it does not remove my make-up. I also have an issue with the packaging, it's very hard to squeeze out the product. Overall it is a nice cleanser but I am still looking for something that will remove my makeup without me having to use a cloth.
I like this cleanser a lot, it feels soft and gentle on my skin, i use a wash cloth and find it easy to wash off and leaves no residue. My skins feels soft and clean afterwards but not dry or tight. The packages is annoying because the plastic bottle is hard to get the product out, i decant into a easier to use travel bottle.

Actually, not just sad, but devastating. Effing horrible. So just stop now if you can't deal with that sort of thing today.
You see, this isn't about the death of just one child, but two. And their parents. It's been all over the news in our parts. An entire family and two good friends of theirs were killed in a fire in a summer cottage on Easter Sunday. When I write those words they feel impersonal and indifferent, which is nice, because when I consider that six-year-old Sarah who I have known since she was a toddler, her big sister Nanna and their stylish mom Malene and doting dad Hans are dead, it gets hard to breathe.
I thought I was ready to write about this, but maybe I'm not.
There is an empty house at the end of the road. Michelle learned to ride her bike a few weeks ago and I said, "Now you can bike down to Sarah's house."
No, I haven't quite processed this yet.
And you,how can you live with this loss?
"Es ist ein Schnitter,heißt der Tod.."a poem we somehow were confronted with during my school years.
It is you which you have to take care of now,for yourself and for your family.
They have not been asked to go,yet they are gone.
We are still here at this side of the veil,which separates us from the deceased.
Peace be with you,Pam,and with your family.

A meandering one-lane road leads to this winery known for its sparkling wines and estate Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs. The sparklers have made history: Ronald Reagan served them at his summit meetings with Mikhail Gorbachev; George Herbert Walker Bush took some along to Moscow for treaty talks; and Barack Obama has included them at official state dinners. Despite Iron Horse's brushes with fame, a casual rusticity prevails at its outdoor tasting area (large heaters keep
things comfortable on chilly days), which gazes out on acres of rolling, vine-covered hills. Tours take place on weekdays at 10 am. Winemaker David Munksgard leads the Friday tour when his schedule permits.

LG Nexus 4 gets lost in a bar. Really.
Darned if the same thing didn't happen the next year with the Apple iPhone 4S. This time, Apple joined the cops in raiding a person's home and the device was never found. Instead, the cops did a thorough investigation of their role in the whole event and an Apple security chief ended up resigning.
lost in a bar in San Francisco. The incident took place in September when not too much was known about the handset. Even so, when the bartender, Jim Barton, got a look at it, he thought it was just one of 20 smartphones that are left behind in the bar every week. The device was locked and could not be opened. Strangely, Barton didn't think twice about the "Not for sale" sticker or the Google logo on the back of the phone. The next day, the phone remained unclaimed and Barton decided to share his secret with a steady customer named Dave Hodge who happened to know about the LG Nexus 4 and realized that they had an important device on their hands. So Hodge decided to contact Google and the next day he came running into the bar shaken up. He told Barton that Google told him that it had lost a phone and that an employee got canned over it. Google even told Dave that he could be an accessory to a crime.
Finally, bartender Barton decided that he would turn the phone over to a Google representative providing the person had some identification on him. On the way to retrieve the LG Nexus 4 was Brian Katz, global investigations and intelligence manager at Google. With a military air about him, Katz was disappointed to find out that Barton had left the bar early that night. Eventually, Katz got the phone back and promised the bartender a free LG Nexus 4 if he kept quiet about the entire incident until Monday's press conference ends. Oops. Barton now might not qualify for the phone, but Wired paid him a fee for the photos you see here.
Ironically, two weeks after giving up the phone, pictures of the device leaked. On Monday, Google will announce the LG Nexus 4 at its media event.

What is up with Google and Android-using companies having announcements same-day as others? First the Motorola mistake on the same day as the 2nd-gen Lumias were announced, now the Nexus on the same day WP8 is going to be announced. Granted this might get more attention than 3 ho-hum phones, but still...

Why you ask? It is because they are evil and trying to do every cheap trick to gain attention and take it away from competitors.
Google is an evil company.

Doesn't look like they're original either since they're copying what Apple did with the iPhone at a bar.

I wonder what crime they would put on him. hmmm. is picking up a lost phone a crime?
10. protozeloz (Posts: 5381; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
If you find a phone and manage to get in contact with the owner, if you don't give them their phone when they ask it back then you are stealing, that's probably what they meant
30. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
but hey, they can't access the phone from within. Google just claimed it, without any proof. HAHAHA.
7. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5647; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
i guess he got paid more than what he thought a Nexus 4 would cost. i would've went back and forth trying to get the deals sweetened.

People who just leave phones (and especially important ones) anywhere are just careless and shouldn't be working for giant tech companies like Google or Apple. My phone is always stuck like velcro to me, it isn't going anywhere out of my sight.

That guy should have been more careful with his lg nexus 4, who knows what could have happened if it was months away from its official launch date, he would be doomed.

STFU, unless it has a shiny apple on it, is 6 months behind the curve, and costs twice what it's actually worth you never cared. Cut the bullsh*t.

Why is this a big deal? we all know what the phone looks like.
43. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5954; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
It is an issue because Google seems to be making it an issue (firing the employee who lost it, threats against the person who found it, and, and, and). Of course, if I were in Google's position, I would probably do the same thing. The $ that is tied up in a product development effort is non-trivial, and they want to control every part of the process to maximize the successful launch.

OK folks, this is an old ploy. Bartender should have just turned the thing over to the police, instead of being nice about it.
Or if you're smart and really don't want the things outed, quit giving test phones to bozos that drink in bars.

This HTC Flyer promo shows you how much more you can do with a stylus
The HTC Flyer might not have caught your eye, but that could be partly because of the eventual lack of Honeycomb and the stylus reminding you of times not so long past. But while other companies have gone in the way of mimicking the market leader, HTC has taken their time to give a smooth polish to its own HTC Sense interface and make a truly unique product.
The 7-inch Flyer has a neatly looking carousel allowing you to quickly access info on your homepage, but what seems truly exciting is the stylus input. You can only appreciate it if your work involves some drawing – a challenging task for every keyboard out there. While finger input might do the job, we haven't really seen many applications supporting it to the extent we are tosee in the Flyer. Coupled with the tablet's powerful 1.5GHz single-core chipset, this could bring a lot of new ideas. Check out the video below for some of them.

I'm just going to wait and hope that Wacom comes up with a pressure sensitive tablet of their own.
9. deago78 (Posts: 157; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
You think they are going to develop a product and a UI of their own when all they do now is support other companies' products?
10. SavageLucy42 (Posts: 211; Member since: 24 Mar 2011)
I don't think they need a platform/operating system of their own. But if Wacom were to work with a tablet manufacturer to make something like the Cintiq (which I'm sure I spelled wrong) in a smaller/afordable/portable format. I would be all up on that.
To me this seems like a step in that direction, but I'm not running out to buy the first tablet with a stylus that hits the market.

I wasn't convinced by your writing but the video made me want this thing. HTC seem to be pretty innovative cunning dark horses

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (picture book edition) (Hardcover)
Not currently in the store – Usually ships in 1-5 days
Narnia: A magical land full of wonder and excitement. A place where you will meet Aslan, the bravest of lions, and a beautiful but wicked Witch. There are lots of other fabulous creatures too: giants and dwarfs and animals that talk.
It all begins when four children -- Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy -- discover a strange old wardrobe. Stepping inside, they find that it's stranger still, because behind all the fur coats there is a wondrous land of trees and mountains, all glistening with snow.
The White Witch has spread an icy winter everywhere. Only Aslan can defeat her and reverse her wicked spell. The children must find the lion before it is too late. If they fail, the Witch will make them her prisoners forever.
In the fifty years since it was written, The Lion, the Witch And the Wardrobe has become one of the great classics of children's literature. Now younger children can share the magical experience, stepping into a world of enchantment that will forever lure them back.

HP Switch Modules are components that you can add to an HP Switch to provide a variety of network connectivity options. HP Switch Module's ports are all configured to be ready for network operation as soon as a viable network cable is connected. Default configuration is applied to the module when the switch is powered on and the module passes self test; this default configuration works well for most network installations. LEDs provide information on the link status, network activity, connection bandwidth, and communication mode (half or full duplex). "Hot swap" operation is supported, so you can add a module or replace a module without having to shut down the switch (changing the module type in a given slot does require a switch reset).

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- The Knoxville News-Sentinel reports that Knox County Mayor Mike Ragsdale will pay back any P-card purchases for which there is no documentation.
The deadline for officials to respond to the Knox County purchasing card audit was Friday at noon, and the paper says auditor Richard Walls got over 1000 pages of documentation from Ragsdale, Chief of Staff Mike Arms, Chief Administrative Officer Dwight Van de Vate, former administrative assistant Margie Loyd, and embattled former community services director Cynthia Finch combined.
The Friday deadline was set by commissioners demanding that the current and former officials produce documentation for nearly $40,000 in purchases, or else pay up.
Knox County Commission has given law director John Owings the authority to sue if documentation or payment isn't provided.

Oil leaders, GOP allies, downplay administration's seismic plans
The Obama administration's announcement that it may allow seismic studies potentially paving the way for offshore drilling along the East Coast is political posturing designed to distract voters concerned about high gasoline prices, oil industry leaders and Republican lawmakers said today.
The administration's move "continues the president's election-year political ploy of giving speeches and talking about drilling after having spent the first three years in office blocking, delaying and driving up the cost of producing energy in America," said Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Wash. "The president is focused on trying to talk his way out of what he's done, rather than taking real steps to boost American energy production."
At issue is Interior Secretary Ken Salazar's announcement in Norfolk, Va., this morning that the government is assessing the environmental effects of allowing seismic surveys along the mid- and south-Atlantic that could help locate hidden pockets of oil and gas. If ultimately approved, the studies by private geological research companies also could help guide decisions about where to place renewable energy projects off the coast.
The Interior Department is issuing a draft environmental impact statement that assesses the consequences of seismic research on marine life in the area. The Obama administration had planned to release a similar document in 2010, before the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
If the draft environmental assessment is finalized after public comments and hearings, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management could give companies permits to conduct the studies off the coasts of eight East Coast states.
Salazar said that if the geological research turned up promising results, that could open the door to offshore drilling in the area within five years, even though the administration currently has ruled out that kind of exploration before 2017. A government plan for selling offshore drilling leases from 2012 to 2017 does not include any auctions of Atlantic territory.
"If the information that is developed allows us to move forward in a quicker time frame, we can always come in with an amendment," Salazar said. "We're not prejudging that at this point in time. My view is … we need to develop information so we can make those wise decisions."
Industry officials noted that under federal laws, it could take years for the government to revise the 2012-2017 leasing plan, even if federal officials decided to pursue Atlantic drilling.
Erik Milito, upstream director for the American Petroleum Institute, said the administration is repackaging old news and old plans to make it appear it is making real progress to encourage more domestic energy development.
"This is political rhetoric to make it appear the administration is doing something on gas prices, but in reality it is little more than an empty gesture," Milito said.
Randall Luthi, the president of the National Ocean Industries Association, likened the administration's announcement to giving the industry "a canoe with no oars, since there are no lease sales planned anywhere off the East Coast."
If allowed to conduct seismic surveys, geological research firms would ultimately give the resulting information to the government and sell it to companies eager to analyze the data.
But Milito questioned whether seismic companies would pursue the work, given that some of their best customers — oil companies — wouldn't be able to use it to plan offshore drilling for years, if at all.
"Without an Atlantic coast lease sale in their five-year plan, the administration's wishful thinking on seismic research has no ultimate purpose," Milito said. "The White House has banned lease sales in the Atlantic for at least the next five years, discouraging the investment and job creation, and ultimately production, which would make seismic exploration valuable."
Still, at least six companies already have told the government they want to conduct seismic research along the East Coast.
"We have gotten significant expressions of interest from companies in contracting for these seismic surveys," said Tommy Beaudreau, the director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. "I am confident that, assuming the process continues on the track we anticipate, that there will be significant interest next year in conducting these surveys."
Geological research uses seismic waves to map what lies underground or beneath the ocean floor. The shock waves — which some environmental advocates say may harm marine life — map the density of subterranean material and can gives clues about possible oil and gas.
Seismic studies also help identify geologic hazards and archaeological resources in the seabed — information useful in determining the placement of renewable energy infrastructure as well as oil and gas equipment.
The existing seismic surveys of the Atlantic coast are decades old, and in the years since, "there have been enormous technological advances," Salazar noted.
"We do need to have seismic moving forward so we can really understand what the resource potential is," Salazar added.

Fitch: Total Gas Leak 'Not Another Deepwater Horizon'
The gas leak at Total's wellhead platform on the Elgin gas field in the North Sea is not as serious as BP's Deepwater Horizon accident in 2010, said Fitch Ratings Wednesday.
The ratings agency added that even in the event of a shutdown of the whole Elgin field, it believes that Total is likely to retain its 'AA' credit rating as it has the cash resources to more than cover any associated costs.
"The Elgin leak is a surface gas leak rather than an underwater oil leak, making its potential for environmental damage far lower than in the Deepwater Horizon case," said Fitch in a press statement Wednesday. "These sorts of accidents are often difficult to resolve and unpredictable; nonetheless, in our view the potential is low for this leak to escalate to a crisis on the scale of Deepwater Horizon. Total's preliminary assessment suggests there has been no significant impact on the environment and the use of dispersants has not been considered."
However, Fitch added that it had considered a "worse-than-base-case" scenario where Total may have to shut down the Elgin field to stop the gas leak. "This would imply the loss of a producing field that is worth, in net present value terms, EUR 5.7 billion [$7.6 billion] according to third-party valuations. Were the field to become permanently unusable it would cost Total EUR 2.6 billion [$3.5 billion] and the company might have to compensate its partners for the remaining EUR 3.1 billion [$4.1 billion]," Fitch said.
On Tuesday Dow Jones reported a source saying that the proximity of vessels owned by Transocean and Rowan to the Elgin platform may sway Total's decision in hiring a firm to drill relief wells to cap the leak.
Currently, Transocean's Sedco 714 (mid-water semisub) is drilling for Total in the North Sea, while a Rowan jack-up rig was used for drilling work at Elgin.
Total said Tuesday it is studying all options and could take time to make a decision, while dismissing reports that claimed the company had indicated it could take up to six months to drill a relief well.
"They are not details that have come from us at all," a Total spokesperson told Rigzone Tuesday morning, explaining that the company did not yet have a timescale in place regarding the drilling of a relief well.
Meanwhile, Royal Dutch Shell reported Tuesday that it removed oil workers from two of its North Sea rigs due to the proximity to Total's Elgin/Franklin platform.
In a statement, Shell said it had reduced personnel on its Shearwater platform and the nearby Nobel Hans Deul drilling rig. Drilling operations on the Noble Hans Deul (400′ ILC) rig, which is located offshore Scotland 138 miles east of Aberdeen, have been suspended and the wells "left in a safe state," said Shell.
"While the move is purely precautionary and primarily driven by the prevailing weather conditions, and both facilities remain operational, it has been decided to reduce numbers to a more manageable level until the full situation surrounding the Elgin leak has been established," said a Shell spokesperson.
Shell also reported Tuesday that it is using the downtime as an opportunity to conduct maintenance on one of its rigs.
"Further to the precautionary safety measures we took yesterday following Total's gas leak at Elgin, we have no brought forward plans to carry out maintenance at Shearwater. This will take place from today, starting four days ahead of schedule. We are therefore shutting down production in a controlled manner," said a Shell spokesperson.
Total reported Monday that it had evacuated the Elgin platform's crew and reported that all 238 personnel had been accounted for.

Obama administration advances plan for seismic research along Atlantic coast
Posted on March 28, 2012 at 12:01 am by Jennifer A. Dlouhy
The Obama administration will announce Wednesday that it is advancing a plan to allow new seismic research designed to help identify hidden pockets of oil and gas in Atlantic waters along the East Coast.
The move by the Interior Department is the beginning of a long path that eventually could lead to new offshore drilling off the coast from Delaware to Florida.
Senior administration officials who spoke exclusively to the Houston Chronicle confirmed the plan on condition they not be identified ahead of the official announcement.
The plan could mean new work for Houston-based seismic firms, which likely would conduct some of the first such surveys of the region in decades.
The announcement comes as President Barack Obama tries to assuage concerns about rising oil and gasoline prices ahead of the November election, amid Republican criticism that his energy policies have sent costs higher.
The administration had signaled plans to allow Atlantic seismic research before the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill stalled approval of offshore activities.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar will announce the plan in Norfolk, Va. at Fugro Atlantic, a company that conducts geotechnical and marine research.
Future seismic research in the Atlantic waters could help guide decisions about where to allow drilling leases and equipment that generates renewable energy, such as wind turbines.
But it would be at least five years before the government sold any leases in Atlantic waters. Interior Department plans governing those decisions through 2017 do not include lease sales in the region.
Geological research uses seismic waves to map what lies underground or beneath the ocean floor. The shock waves — which some environmental advocates say may harm marine life — map the density of subterranean material and can gives clues about possible oil and gas.
Seismic studies also help identify geologic hazards and archaeological resources in the seabed — information useful in determining the placement of renewable energy infrastructure as well as oil and gas equipment.
Energy companies use the data to plan where to buy leases and how to prioritize projects. But they know little about what lies below federal waters along the East Coast. Existing seismic surveys of the area are more than 25 years old and were conducted with now-outdated technology.
Oil industry officials have downplayed the significance of allowing seismic surveys along the Atlantic Coast, noting the government makes no guarantee that it will let them drill. That skepticism also could limit the market for seismic research firms.
But the administration has said that collecting the data for different regions — even if they aren't targeted immediately for development — is key to understanding their potential. Obama asked the Interior Department to speed up its search for Atlantic resources in May 2011.
Wednesday's action takes the form of a federally required draft statement on the environmental effects of seismic surveys in the outer continental shelf along the East Coast.
The public will have a chance to weigh in on that draft environmental impact statement during hearings along the East Coast.

Scientists Conduct Expedition of Atlantis Massif in North Atlantic Ocean
Scientists recently concluded an expedition aboard the research vessel JOIDES Resolution to learn more about Atlantis Massif, an undersea mountain, or seamount, that formed in a very different way than the majority of the seafloor in the oceans.
Unlike volcanic seamounts, which are made of the basalt that's typical of most of the seafloor, Atlantis Massif includes rock types that are usually only found much deeper in the ocean crust, such as gabbro and peridotite.
The expedition, known as Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 340T, marks the first time the geophysical properties of gabbroic rocks have successfully been measured directly in place, rather than via remote techniques such as seismic surveying.
With these measurements in hand, scientists can now infer how these hard-to-reach rocks will "look" on future seismic surveys, making it easier to map out geophysical structures beneath the seafloor.
"This is exciting because it means that we may be able to use seismic survey data to infer the pattern of seawater circulation within the deeper crust," says Donna Blackman of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, Calif., co-chief scientist for Expedition 340T.
"This would be a key step for quantifying rates and volumes of chemical, possibly biological, exchange between the oceans and the crust."
Atlantis Massif sits on the flank of an oceanic spreading center that runs down the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
As the tectonic plates separate, new crust is formed at the spreading center and a combination of stretching, faulting and the intrusion of magma from below shape the new seafloor.
Periods of reduced magma supplied from the underlying mantle result in the development of long-lived, large faults. Deep portions of the crust shift upward along these faults and may be exposed at the seafloor.
This process results in the formation of an oceanic core complex, or OCC, and is similar to the processes that formed the Basin and Range province of the Southwest United States.
"Recent discoveries from scientific ocean drilling have underlined that the process of creating new oceanic crust at seafloor spreading centers is complex," says Jamie Allan, IODP program director at the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), which co-funds the program.
"This work significantly adds to our ability to infer ocean crust structure and composition, including predicting how ocean crust has 'aged' in an area," says Allan, "thereby giving us new tools for understanding ocean crust creation from Earth's mantle."
Atlantis Massif is a classic example of an oceanic core complex.
Because it's relatively young–formed within the last million years–it's an ideal place, scientists say, to study how the interplay between faulting, magmatism and seawater circulation influences the evolution of an OCC within the crust.
"Vast ocean basins cover most of the Earth, yet their crust is formed in a narrow zone," says Blackman. "We're studying that source zone to understand how rifting and magmatism work together to form a new plate."
The JOIDES Resolution first visited Atlantis Massif about seven years ago; the science team on that expedition measured properties in gabbro.
But they focused on a shallower section, where pervasive seawater circulation had weathered the rock and changed its physical properties.
For the current expedition, the team did not drill new holes.
Rather, they lowered instruments into a deep existing hole drilled on a previous expedition, and made measurements from inside the hole.
The new measurements, at depths between 800 and 1,400 meters (about 2,600-4,600 feet) below the seafloor, include only a few narrow zones that had been altered by seawater circulation and/or by fault slip deformation.
The rest of the measurements focused on gabbroic rocks that have remained unaltered thus far.
The properties measured in the narrow zones of altered rock differ from the background properties measured in the unaltered gabbroic rocks.
The team found small differences in temperature next to two sub-seafloor faults, which suggests a slow percolation of seawater within those zones.
There were also significant differences in the speed at which seismic waves travel through the altered vs. unaltered zones.
"The expedition was a great opportunity to ground-truth our recent seismic analysis," says Alistair Harding, also from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and a co-chief scientist for Expedition 340T.
"It also provides vital baseline data for further seismic work aimed at understanding the formation and alteration of the massif."
The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) is an international research program dedicated to advancing scientific understanding of the Earth through drilling, coring and monitoring the subseafloor.
The JOIDES Resolution is a scientific research vessel managed by the U.S. Implementing Organization of IODP (USIO). Texas A&M University, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University and the Consortium for Ocean Leadership comprise the USIO.
Two lead agencies support the IODP: the U.S. National Science Foundation and Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.
Additional program support comes from the European Consortium for Ocean Research Drilling, the Australia-New Zealand IODP Consortium, India's Ministry of Earth Sciences, the People's Republic of China's Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources.

Baker Hughes Bringing High-End Well Stimulation Vessel to North Sea
Baker Hughes Incorporated, announced that its subsidiary has chartered a new state-of-the-art pressure pumping vessel that will provide offshore stimulation services to Maersk Oil in the North Sea. Upon completion, scheduled for late 2013, the Blue Orca(TM) will become the eighth vessel in the Baker Hughes fleet.
"We are pleased to be working with Maersk Oil as we expand our current fleet into the North Sea," said Art Soucy, Baker Hughes' President of Global Products & Services. "Our full cadre of world-class stimulation vessels offers customers the capacity, performance and redundancy for round-the-clock operations that are needed in today's offshore plays. We are committed to operating safely and efficiently while continuing to build on our pressure pumping market leadership and the challenging offshore environments where operators need us to be."
The Blue Orca will be rated to 15,000 psi and will offer among the largest fluid and proppant carrying capacities in the world. It will provide 15,000 hydraulic horsepower pumping capacity and the ability to pump at rates well in excess of 60 bpm. Engineering work on the marine and stimulation systems has already begun.
"Stimulation of long horizontal wells is one of Maersk Oil's key technologies and vital for economic development of our tight chalk reservoirs," said Mary Van Domelen, Maersk Oil's Stimulation Team Leader. "We appreciate the opportunity to work with Baker Hughes to deliver a new state-of-the-art stimulation vessel and look forward to welcoming the Blue Orca to the North Sea."
The Blue Orca will join Baker Hughes' other stimulation vessels – including the company's newest additions to the Gulf of Mexico: Blue Tarpon and the Blue Dolphin. The vessels support offshore completion operations and will be equipped to support high-rate and high-volume multi-zone fracturing operations.
"Our pressure pumping vessels offer enhanced safety systems with redundant back-up blending and pumping capabilities," said Lindsay Link, Baker Hughes' President of Pressure Pumping. "When it comes to performing multi-zone, high-rate, high-pressure completions, our vessels are reliable, efficient and minimize delays in high-cost offshore environments, where time is of the essence for the operators on behalf of whom we are working."

After receiving his doctorate in psychology from York University in Toronto, Romeo Vitelli spent 15 years as a staff psychologist in Millbrook Correctional Centre, a maximum-security prison in Ontario.
In 2003, he "successfully escaped" to go into practice full time. Vitelli is also a disaster-management volunteer with the Red Cross.
His blog, Providentia ( www.drvitelli.typepad.com), is Vitelli's "biased look at psychology in the world." Find Vitelli via Twitter at @rvitelli.
Q. What was it like working at Millbrook Correctional Centre?
A. As a maximum-security facility, we got the cases that couldn't be handled anywhere else in the province. This included sex offenders and people who needed special protection because of problems with mental illness or who couldn't be held safely anywhere else. It was a strange place at times, but I got exposure to a range of psychiatric problems.
Q. What psychology issues do you blog about most often on Providentia?
A. It's basically my chance to say what I want in my own personal corner of the Internet. Along with interesting news items that tend not to get much play in the regular news sites, I also talk about interesting new research studies, most of which rarely get any coverage (topics range from assisted suicide to the health risks of loneliness to demonic possession).
I also have a fascination with bizarre episodes from history that most people have no idea about, such as the 1949 demonic possession case in St. Louis that inspired the movie "The Exorcist."
Q. What would you most like to convey to readers about your blog?
A. With Providentia, I am trying to provide a resource for people to consult about different issues, including mental illness, suicide, recent research and history.
Q. After practicing psychology for 25 years, what kind of insight into human behavior do you bring to your blog?
A. Many people tend to be invisible in our society since others prefer not to acknowledge their existence. I try to deal with that, to some extent.
I also focus on how people with mental illness are treated in developing nations, including cases where they have been accused of being witches or possessed by demons. Some incidents can be horrific, but it is important to call attention to them when possible.

Trevor Lewis became the first man to take a Stanley Cup to Utah last summer, and he's playing like he wants an encore.
EL SEGUNDO – The Stanley Cup had visited Utah before, but not when the marching band was making it vibrate.
Trevor Lewis, from the Salt Lake City suburb of Murray, brought it to the U. of Utah's home football opener last Aug. 30, against Northern Colorado.
It shone there at halftime, and fans who wouldn't know cross-checking from personal checking were, as always, mesmerized.
Most knew that Lewis had earned it with the Kings last spring. Very few knew that the Cup had visited Salt Lake when Lewis was 12. He went to the Maverik Center, the local ice arena, to see it. But his father Randy warned him not to touch it.
Three years later Trevor left Utah to play midget hockey in Colorado, as two friends had done the year before. The odds said he was leaning over his skis.
Only three other Utah players had ever been drafted. None had won the Cup. He was trading all his future high school experiences for a wild puck chase, based only on self-belief.
Now? Well, the Utes open the 2013 home schedule against Utah State. Better get the Cup some earplugs.
Just like last year, Lewis is barging into the biggest moments of these playoff games.
On Thursday night in Game 5, he beat San Jose's Joe Thornton on a draw, fell on his chest to poke the puck back to Slava Voynov, and watched the defenseman drill the goal that created a 2-0 lead in what became a 3-0 victory that gave the Kings a 3-2 series lead.
Lewis was 7-9 on faceoffs for the evening and Thornton 20-9, at the time.
After that Lewis applied the final clear on a penalty kill, after Anze Kopitar was given two minutes for tripping Thornton, who fell like Sonny Corleone.
But you remember that Lewis, who scored three goals in the entirety of the 2011-12 season, got two in the Cup-clinching victory over New Jersey.
In the first round, he drilled Dan Hamhuis and liberated the puck that Jarret Stoll shot to win Game 5 in overtime at Vancouver.
"He's the most underrated player on our team," defenseman Rob Scuderi said.
Lewis was a center, then moved to the wing on Stoll's line, then moved back to center when Stoll was felled by Raffi Torres in Game 1 of this series.

They remodeled the kitchen and dining area, replaced much of the furniture and did some major landscaping among other things. Two hundred volunteers from Asbury Church gave this house on 21st near Oliver a major makeover.
"Our mission statement is the transformation of the whole person through the love and power of Jesus Christ," Pastor Gordon McClure says. "We felt like meeting somebody's real tangible needs was a way to help toward transformation, and just transforming her living environment."
The church collected money for materials through several special offerings in recent months. The home belongs to Maxine Billingsley. She's a former school counselor who attends a different church, but was nominated by an Asbury member who knew she was a busy community volunteer with a house that had fallen into disrepair.
The church put Billingsley up in a hotel for the weekend. Then at 5 p.m. on Sunday, she arrived to check out her new diggs.
"I am absolutely at a loss for words," Billingsley says. "It is just fantabulous!"
In fact, Billingsley was so happy she broke out in song, regaling the crowd with one of her favorite hymns.
The church called this effort "The Nehemiah project." Nehemiah was on Old Testament prophet who was bothered that the Jerusalem walls were broken down. He received permission from the king and rebuilt them in 52 days. Click here to read more about Nehemiah.
