Ted Simons: Good evening, and welcome to "Arizona Horizon." I'm Ted Simons. ASU physicist Lawrence Krauss joins us each month for an enlightening discussion on the latest science news. Tonight that news includes climate change concerns and the evolution of the universe. Here now is Lawrence Krauss. Good to see you.
Lawrence Krauss: Good to be back here. On this cool day.
Ted Simons: Nice cool day for the time being. We'll get to climate change in just a second, but I want to start with the evolution of -- This idea that MiT scientists put all we know what a super computer and BA-boom!
Lawrence Krauss: Well, it's a large group, it's not just MiT, but it's kind of appropriate that we're talking about it in the context of climate change. These are models of the universe. You put in all the physics you know, and you let things evolve. And since I've been a physicist, those simulations have been changing tremendously. Because computer power has been changing tremendously. And what these people have done is now take the best possible simulation we can do, putting in gravity, and the dynamics of magnetic fields and gasses and explosions from associated with large black holes and putting it all in and following I think 12 billion mass points over a region the size about 300 million light years across, and the simulation I think would take something like two-thousand years on a desk top computer. So it's the most complex simulations that ever been done and it's amazing to look at. I know we have the video.
Ted Simons: Let's look at it. Tell us what we're seeing. It starts about 12 or 13 million years in.
Lawrence Krauss: We're seeing the dark matter, which dominates the universe. Dark matter has begun to collapse, and normal matter, the matter makes up you and I begins to fall into those dark matter potential wells and you can see the blue is the dark matter, the other material is regular matter and you can see these explosions that are happening. As we now are several billion years after the big bang, massive black holes have formed at the center of galaxies and as they eat material, it blows the gas out and you see these immense explosions. Kicking out diffused gas into the interstellar medium and that's producing hydrogen gas but it's also, as stars are evolving, producing all the elements that make you and I up. And you can see now from the dark matter now you can begin to see the regular matter, the stuff at the center of these dark matter potential wells, and all of the heavy elements. And what's amazing, the heavy elements are this diffused material on the outside of that cosmic web of galaxies. And what is amazing is that this simulation has reproduced the characteristics of our universe extremely well. The ratio of so-called elliptical galaxies to spiral galaxies. Here's the dark matter. We come back now almost at the present time. The dark matter that dominates the universe, but now you're going to see the dark matter disappear and there's the remnants. That's what we can see with telescopes. That's what you would see with a telescope in that hypothetical universe, and remarkably, it is what with very close to what we see with telescopes today. Our galaxy is a spiral galaxy, most galaxies are spirals, 15% are ellipticals. The ratio of heavy elements, the stuff that make you and I up compared to hydrogen and helium in the big bang, this simulation appears to reproduce pretty well everything we see, which is amazing when you think about it, that we can now numerically do that kind of intense, what we can more or less recreate the evolution years. Now I must say, when you look at that, it looks like it reproduces everything exactly. But the individual points that are used in that, the individual mass points, are each a million solar masses. So we can't yet have a simulation that would go from looking at all these clusters of galaxies down to individual stars, that would take right now longer than the age of a universe with a current computer.
Ted Simons: Ok, so these scientists take everything we know, this is what we see. Now can they take everything we know, this is what we see, project into what's going to happen?
Lawrence Krauss: Of course they can. But that's the easy part.
Ted Simons: I want to see that video!
Lawrence Krauss: There are videos of showing how one of the things we can do, there's a nice simulation, maybe next time I'll bring it, showing our cluster of galaxies. Cuz our Milky Way is part of a cluster of galaxies. And eventually we're going to collide in billion years with the Andromeda galaxy. They'll all collide together and eventually produce one massive galaxy. No longer a spiral galaxy. From what we see now, it's easy to sort of predict what can happen in the future. The hard part is to start from a big bang with dark matter, and dark energy, and see if the physics that we understand produces what we see, and also what's really interesting about the simulation, it tells us that somehow the ratio of normal matter, we call it baryonic matter, to dark matter, changes dramatically over scale. So as we try and look for dark matter in the universe, we can use this simulation to predict how much dark matter there may be in the solar neighborhood and to guide experimentalists as they look out in the universe.
Ted Simons: Last question on this before climate change. How accurate can something like this be when you're dealing with dark energy and dark matter? We don't even know what that is! Do we?
Lawrence Krauss: We don't know what it is, but it is amazing. You don't have to know what it is. You just have to know its gravitational properties. Because it turns out the dark energy, its dominant effect is causing the expansion of the universe to speed up. Dark matter, it's dominant effect is due to gravity, creating these potential wells that normal matter fell into to form galaxies. The hard part, the stuff that couldn't have been known 20 years ago is to take into account the complex interactions of normal matter, gas expanding, heating up, explosions, stellar explosions, those are the hard things, and it's only recently the simulations have been able to include those. How accurate are they? It's an interesting question because it used to be when the numerical simulations disagreed with evidence from reality, they'd say look our models are wrong. But what we inevitably found was they weren't including all the physics in the simulations. So what they're trying to do is test to see if the simulations reproduce what we can see, and if they do it well enough, we can have the simulations tell us about things we can't see, and that we can look for. So the tests are that this amazing new simulation is -- Produces a universe that looks remarkably like our own, and I critically like seeing those huge explosions that come from -- And what they are, black holes, eating up stars and gas and causing huge shock waves. And pushing out material which tells us there's lots of diffused gas in the interstellar medium.
Ted Simons: I think it's fantastic.
Lawrence Krauss: I like watching it a lot.
Ted Simons: Alright, let's get to climate change here because the national climate assessment has come out, climate change impact region by region. Give us a general overview, what do we have to worry about here in the southwest? What are we talking about here?
Lawrence Krauss: Well, look, the first thing is interesting because we're talking about modeling with galaxies and how accurate they can be. We try and model the climate, we, meaning climate change modelers and those models have gotten much much better in the last 40 years. They used to be relatively course grained, like the galaxy simulations, they're now much much better. So our ability to model what going to happen is much better, but most importantly, over the last 40 years, the data has gotten much better. What this new assessment is telling us, unequivocally is that climate change is happening and it's human induced. There's no doubt, there's no debate. You'll hear it in the media, you'll hear climate change deniers, but the point is, the scientific data tells us that these things are happening, and they're accelerating at exactly the kind of rate or better faster, not better, but worse, faster than you might expect on the basis of human induced climate change carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. We're seeing -- We've seen these incredible storms in the northeast, 71% more rain in the northeast, 21% more in the southeast. It's also telling us that not only are the oceans getting more acidic, but forest fires have increased at a great rate, droughts have increased, the average temperature in the southwest has gotten worse, in fact there have been in Texas and Oklahoma, two consecutive periods of days with more than degrees heat. It's telling us that the effects are different in each place. But the effects are already happening. It's not as if we need to predict into the future. And people who claim that human induced climate change isn't happening, you just have to look around, and it means that we -- Look, it's not all doom and gloom. But it means we have to realize these are real effects, we're fortunate, one of the predictions here is that we've already seen that sea levels have risen by nine inches or so, but they could rise up to four feet. Or six feet. Sorry six feet. A lot of southern Florida is only four feet above sea level. So that's a real concern there. You might say we're lucky in Arizona. But we've got real worries, because allergens are are increasing, as biodiversity is changing and as frost-free periods are going away, new pests, new insects, new allergens, mountain beetle is now able to survive in regions of the southwest that it couldn't before. And forest fires, you could show in fact that something like there's now based on the existing data, there's twice as great a probability of major droughts and forest fires now as there was 40 years ago. This is 40 years, this is a period that's relevant for humans. But you know, of course there have been major periods of climate change in history, but this kind of intense period, which is predicted by the fact we are continuing to dump more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. One of the things showed in this report is the U.S. is producing three times as much carbon dioxide as is taken by all the forests and biomass in the U.S.
Ted Simons: I'm going to get all the emails and all the calls.
Lawrence Krauss: I'm glad you will.
Ted Simons: And one of them I get a lot is that CO2 as a pollutant is silly, the plants need it, we need it, because -- We and the plants have a symbiotic relationship with CO2 why do you want to take it away?
Lawrence Krauss: Well, look. It's true that plants use CO2 and in fact they help moderate the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, unfortunately we're producing it at a faster rate than the plants can take it up. Which is until humans were doing that, there was a kind of greater balance. And CO2 has other effects. By the way, the effects are not all good in plants. CO2, it turns out a recent study showed CO2 can cause plants to grow faster, but just because they grow faster doesn't mean they have more nutrients. In fact, they're less efficient at producing nutrients the faster they grow. So if you're interested in food production, you're finding, yeah CO2 makes things grow faster, but the food that comes out of it isn't necessarily any better. And the main thing is that CO2, besides -- In some areas of the country this report points out there will be longer growing seasons, but it's more than outweighed by the incredible potential disasters of sea level rise, also extreme storms. Again, not just a prediction of the future, the number of extreme storms over this period, we've been measuring for 40 years during a period when we've been dumping huge amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and it hasn't gone down. It's continuing to go up. What this report, and I recommend people look at it, because the data, there's too much here to go into in this program, but what it really shows is that the data is not only validating the models, but the data is showing that climate change is happening. Carbon dioxide, here's one thing it isn't good for, it isn't good for the oceans. It produces carbonic acid. It makes the oceans more acidic. It destroys coral reefs. The data are that the oceans are 30% more acidic than they were in 1970, I think, because of the effects of carbon dioxide. Coral reefs are dying, habitats for fish are dying. Now, again, this – What we have to do is not say, you know, throw up our hands and say I give up, the future is miserable. We have to say these things are happening, we're producing this stuff, it's having this effect, we can't bury our heads in the sand, and we can't pretend for political reasons that it's not happening, what can we do to protect people from these effects? What can we do to produce a better infrastructure-- For example droughts in the southwest are going to produce more demand and heat waves, more demand on power, but the more power we need the more demands there are on water. And we're going find periods where there may not be enough water flowing to produce a sufficient power. We have to fortune favors the prepared mind and we have to think about how we can use our technology for better or worse—-. And of course we have to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels that produce carbon dioxide. But equally important is we have to look at new technologies that can address these real problems that are happening today.
Ted Simons: Last question, we only got about a minute left. Last question, how do you balance hey, if it's going to happen, mankind is smart enough, wise enough and genius enough to adapt and perhaps thrive in a future world that's very different than ours because of global warming, as opposed to, making a lot of changes that opponents of this idea say will kill economies and kill the process the that current economy world economy seems to allow to progress?
Lawrence Krauss: Well, you know, we have lived in a world of cheap oil. And abundant oil. Now we have to live with the fact not only is that resource getting scarcer, but the effects are producing disastrous effects on the economy. The economy of New York, when there was that flooding, believe me it wasn't a positive effect. The money needed to be spent to fix that was immense. Much -- It's much more efficient to spend money to produce technologies to address it. And I agree, we are ingenious enough in our principle to address this situation, but we can't address it if we deny that it's happening. That's the big problem.
Ted Simons: All right. Well it's good to talk with you again. It's good to see you again.
Lawrence Krauss: It's good to see you again too.
Ted Simons: Alright, take it easy.

It is pretty cool. I like the mix of perspectives and directions and poses - it feels quite epic!
very cool!
wonderful......perspective....and really like how you drew the buildings
This is so cool!
I feel like this took ages upon ages to draw! Lots of detail
I feel like this took ages upon ages to draw! Lots of detail
It took a while, but it was fun to do, and when its fun the time rally flies by!
That's a good way to see it as fun.. I could learn a thing or more from you ^^
lol. well when detailing churches for a comic cover is fun it may be a sign of how sad ones life is, so maybe there isn't much to learn there. honestly though if drawing wasn't fun i would given up on it a while ago
I hear ya. Keep up the spirit (: You really don't know how many people love your art, your gift.
architecture in the fore is stellar!! love the comp!
Thanks, the composition isn't particularly unique characters iconic-ly posed hovering over a city are a familiar comic trope. But I was really hoping to make mine original with all the detail.
nice piece!! i love it ^^
cool drawing....
This is really cool!!
looks awesome ♥
Thank you for taking the time to look at my work! It means so much to me!
Love the composition and awesome cover
This is a really nicely set up cover. The way the city is askew to the more vertical lines that the characters makes for a good eye catcher. Plus it has plenty of room at the top for the title. Well done.
Very nicely done. You have serious talent!

What is ROI?
ROI is a plain and simple concept that both prospective engineers and business students can understand. It is Return on Investment. We will keep things as apples-to-apples as possible by using annual salary and normalizing class time period - 2 years for MBA. We do gross (before-tax) salary and expenses. Basically, cash in and cash out. We will leave the discussion about the intangible things like network or personal growth, etc. It's definitely a separate debate.
(In full-disclosure, I attended Darden MBA - campus was beautiful, and I loved it!)

Should You Get an MBA?
See related post Advice for a young man going to b-school on dklounge.github.io.
Let's take a premier Business Schools - Harvard Business School (HBS)
Investment -
Per HBS cost summary page.
- yr 1 - Fully loaded cost - $87k/year for single person
- yr 2 - Repeat at $87k/yr => let's round down to $170k for two years
Return -
Salary depends on the industry/company, but let's take highest median, which is private equity/LBO per HBS Employment Report.
- Summer internship salary for LBO/private equity (assume 3 months) - $24k
- Yr 3 - median LBO/private equity salary year 1 - $150k
- Yr 4 - let's assume 10% bump with good performance in year 2 - $165k
So, here you are, 4 years after you first attended business school.
ROI = $339k / $170k = 1.994 or basically 200%
Should You Attend a Full-Time Programming Course?
There's not a strong or widely publicized salary data around this yet (so this is slightly an orange), and so I use a well-recognized industry report from Riviera Partners - a San Francisco based placement firm for tech talent. I can corroborate these figures based on indeed.com postings and also local tech group mailing lists where salary figures are thrown around ... so it's reasonable.
Investment -
This varies by program from around $10k to $20k, but let's use an approximate mid-point at $15k for the program duration, which is generally about 3 months. You can read more about the schools and coding in a prior post - Soon your taxi driver may know more Ruby than you do.
- yr 0.25 - $15k
- rest of year 1 - 0, you're making money
- rest of year 2 - 0, you're making money
Return -
Salary figures, as noted are from Riviera Partners 2012 engineering salary review. Let's use JavaScript.
- yr 0.75 - junior dev: $83k * 0.75 = $62k
- yr 2 - $91k (after 10% raise)
- yr 3 - $100k (after 10% raise)
- (junior dev is 0 - 3 according to this report, so afterward you're a midlevel*)
- yr 4 - $132k ($120k in 2012 reasonably adjusted for inflation - but likely higher)
ROI = $385k / $15k = 25.66 or basically, holy crap!
Guide to Coding Bootcamps
It could be you are considering a Programming School. If so, consider making a small investment to purchase and read this guide I wrote just for folks like you: Choosing the Best Coding Bootcamp for you.
If your interest is more broadly in tech, and would like to learn more about breaking into tech from a non-technical background, check out my post How does MBA break into Tech? If you want more motivation for learning to programming, consider reading this post about my experience with RailsBridge and San Francisco area Hackathons - why you should attend now.
- So which would you rather have? 200% or OMG%?
- Isn't this damning for the traditional education? Is your MBA worth the cost?
- Also, if you are a consumer, it's got to be a no-brainer from a financial perspective (of course, don't do it for the money, do it for interest/passion, etc, etc, but I mean, who has a passion for MBA? That was for money, too, right? Apples to apples.)
- Traditional schools/companies - please wake up and smell the competition.

Best Sports Dynasty (2001)
Gentlemen of Aspen Rugby Club
The Avs might win their second Stanley Cup in five years, and the Broncos did achieve a back-to-back, but the real sports dynasty resides a couple of hundred miles west of Denver, in Glitter Gulch. The Gentlemen of Aspen first started winning USA Rugby Club championships in 1997, and they haven't stopped since. This year they'll be trying for five national titles in a row, which would tie with the all-time best. Did we mention that they practice in a horse barn, tackling one another on ground that may have horsebleep left on it? That's dedication.

Boy, oh, boy! You've got to be brave to take the plunge in the annual ocean swim with a difference
Last year a thousand people ditched their clothes and swam in the ocean together in Sydney's most exhibitionist sports event. The Sydney Skinny first launched in 2013, an idea by Nigel Marsh, the author of Fat, Forty and Fired and Fit, Fifty and Fired-Up. Marsh came up with the concept after he was caught short without swimmers and decided to take a dip in the ocean anyway – it was a hot day, we've all been there.
Since then the ocean swim has developed into two designated swims: one at 300 metres and another at 900 metres. Neither one is timed, nor are they considered a 'race'. The goal here is to overcome the fear of being nude in front of strangers (who don't really care/think about how naked you are anyway).
Time Out's Lifestyle editor took the plunge in the first year. Her advice is to drunkenly convince a friend to join you, so you can share in the pre-event butterflies together. It also helps if you can figure out a no-go stare zone. Maybe stand side-by-side if you're feeling shy.
Top tip: Don't over-think it. Drop the towel, run into the water and swim. Worry about how you're going to get out of the water when that moment comes.

This curious baked rice with an egg crust, which comes from Elche and Orihuela, is one of the oldest of the region. A remarkably similar recipe appears in the 14th century Libre del Coch, by Ruperto de Nola--whom some think was Valencian. In his recipe, it is cooked over direct heat, with ashes on the lid of the pan, a method that still survives in the countryside around Elche and Orihuela. But usually the dish is made in the oven.
Makes 4 servings.
Prep Time: 1 hr.
Cook Time: 1 hr.
Read Reviews / Add a Review
1 3/4 cups Calasparra rice
Heat the oil in a large ovenproof casserole, fry the chicken and rabbit, add the tomato and simmer slightly. Add the stock and let it boil for a few minutes until the meat is tender.
Spread the meat over the bottom of an ovenproof casserole; add the dry rice and saffron. Check the salting of the stock or water and pour it over the rice. Bake uncovered in a medium oven until the rice is almost dry.
Remove from the oven, and arrange the slices of sausages (raw of fried) over the top. Beat the eggs lightly with a little salt, pour them over the rice and put the casserole back into the oven for 8-10 minutes. This gives a rich, thick egg layer; if you want a thinner crust, use half the eggs.
The recipe comes from La Granaina, in Elche, run by Raúl Martínez Casares, and his sons Ramón and Pedro.

Medicare or should I say WPS are the bad guys someone has to be but working with the elderly I've seen them reject shoes for paperwork not being done correctly by doctors, MRI not approved when even the DR says I don't know why they wouldn't approve it
and the horrible state of dental care and hearing aids, when you ask why they won't cover such things the truth of the matter is its cost effective.
damn shame medicare is for elderly who paid into the system and those who are sickest. I can only hope that things will somehow improve

Best Vegetarian Burger (2014)
Unlocking the code of the vegetarian burger confounds even the greatest of culinary and chemistry sleuths. So many renditions are packed with ingredients crafted in a lab and slapped in a flash freezer until the soul is dehydrated right out of them. We demand a burger that is both meat-free and completely made of these magical components we like to call "food." The masterminds in the kitchen of Groundswell have succeeded in creating a cruelty-free patty that possesses flavor depth and wholesome satisfaction. A mix of nutrient-dense, richly flavored goodies like black beans, roasted vegetables, fresh herbs, and quinoa is balanced with a zing of Sriracha and horseradish aioli. The crispy exterior cradles the tender heart of the dish, and each bite is so rich and sustaining, you'll forgo the freezer aisle from here to veggie eternity.

Superman/Wonder Woman-The Kiss is a very amazing collaboration from *diabolumberto (colors), *jimlee00 (pencils), *INKIST (inks), and *TrinityMathews (flats). ( Featured by jcroxas )
Neither Lois Lane nor Steve Trevor will be pleased, but I am! Loved this couple since the beginning!
Lois Lane isn't gonna be happy about this. xD
looks great
I like this! Love the sun idea! and the colors on the hair is crazy good. Good luck in your battle.
Love this angle. Breathtaking and handsomely executed. I do feel the bond of love. Can't wait for the movie to be release soon!
Epic Awesome!!!
...how is Wonder Woman breathing...in space....
I love it
One kiss from both of them and they explode the entire solar system
Ooooo I'm tellin Lois..Oh I forgot she is a senior citizen now LOL!
great talent wasted on bullshit corporate trash.
lol cool. If that's what you believe would you mind drawing me a picture for free without the usage of over inflated and unrealistic breast? after all, you're good talent and I'm far from corporate trash and I hate to see good talent wasted on drawing over sized breast for preteens to beat off to
And I mean that with every ounce of seriousness a person can muster
And I mean that with every ounce of seriousness a person can muster

Everyone knows that Wonder Woman has a thing for batman lol. Still great work!!
wait, she does?!
in a sense, yes
Youre wrong...
watch justice league unlimited. you'll get what I'm saying
JLU was made by a Batman fanboy who thinks every woman wants Batman. WW's character was destroyed because she was made as a girl who doesn't know what she wants and she allways tryied to get under Batmans skin. The relation was force in few comics and those were bad writted. It din't go anywhere.
i know it didn't go anywhere. it's obvious. just like the superman-wonder woman pairing didn't go anywhere either. they were just flirting with each other at the most, nothing really serious.
O.O Ohgosh.

Poly(ethylene carbonate) Nanoparticles as Carrier System for Chemotherapy Showing Prolonged in vivo Circulation and Anti-Tumor Efficacy
Department of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmacy, Philipps-Universität Marburg, Marburg, Germany.Macromolecular Bioscience (Impact Factor: 3.85). 07/2012; 12(7):970-8. DOI: 10.1002/mabi.201100499
Source: PubMed
The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of PEC nanoparticles as delivery system for cancer chemotherapy. Assembly of paclitaxel-loaded nanoparticles with high loading efficiency and narrow-size distribution is successful. For non-invasive in vivo tracing, nanoparticle blends of chelator bearing poly(lactide) with PEC and PLGA are successfully prepared. Pharmacokinetic studies in mice reveal a twofold higher circulation time of PEC as compared to PLGA. A tumor model shows an accumulation of PEC NPs in cancerous tissue and a higher anti-tumor efficiency compared to the standard Taxol™, which is reflected in a significantly slower tumor growth compared to the NaCl control group.
Article: Solvent induced phase inversion-based in situ forming controlled release drug delivery implants[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In situ forming (ISF) drug delivery implants have gained tremendous levels of interest over the last few decades. This is due to their wide range of biomedical applications such as in tissue engineering, cell encapsulation, microfluidics, bioengineering and drug delivery. Drug delivery implants forming upon injection has shown a range of advantages which include localized drug delivery, easy and less invasive application, sustained drug action, ability to tailor drug delivery, reduction in side effects associated with systemic delivery and also improved patient compliance and comfort. Different factors such as temperature, pH, ions, and exchange of solvents are involved in in situ implant formation. This review especially focuses on ISF implants that are formed through solvent induced phase inversion (SPI) technique. The article critically reviews and compares a wide range of polymers, solvents, and co-solvents that have been used in SPI implant preparation for control release of a range of drug molecules. Major drawback of SPI systems has been their high burst release. In this regard, the article exhaustively discusses factors that effect the burst release and different modification strategies that has been utilised to reduce the burst effect from these implants. Performance and controversial issues associated with the use of different biocompatible solvents in SPI systems is also discussed. Biodegradation, formulation stability, methods of characterisation and sterilisation techniques of SPI systems is comprehensively reviewed. Furthermore, the review also examines current SPI-based marketed products, their therapeutic application and associated clinical data. It also exemplifies the interest of multi-billion dollar pharma companies worldwide for further developments of SPI systems to a range of therapeutic applications. The authors believe that this will be the first review article that extensively investigate and discusses studies done to date on SPI systems. In so doing, this article will undoubtedly serve as an enlightening tool for the scientists working in the concerned area.

Isabela Island
We dropped anchor early this morning at Urbina Bay. After breakfast, we embarked our Zodiacs for the next adventure. Calm waters and a clear blue sky were welcomed the guests of the National Geographic Endeavour. We landed at a black sandy beach and headed inland for a hike through the cotton and poison apple forest. There were many Darwin finches singing and flying around us, as well as a friendly Galapagos flycatcher that posed for the photographers! However, the most surprising part of the morning was our encounter with giant tortoises from Alcedo Volcano! A young female giant tortoise was spotted first, then a young male appeared, followed by a very young one! One of the giant tortoises decided to show us the path, and we slowly followed until it took a turn and went into the lush vegetation of this visitor site. Due to the lack of clouds, the sun was intense, and there was little shade available—we really experienced the tropics in all its grandeur! The Galapagos land iguanas were looking for the best shady spots, and after this great experience we were very happy to go back to the beach and refresh in the water.
Today the water was cooler, 71 degrees Fahrenheit! The upwelling from the Crownwell Current brings nutrients, plankton and a lot of oxygen to the area, and because of this, the waters between the islands of Isabela and Fernandina are considered the most productive in the Galapagos Archipelago.

Fernandina and Isabela Islands
Today exploration took us to the youngest area of the archipelago, Isabela and Fernandina Islands. The best way to begin our Galapagos Islands adventure was in a pre-breakfast activity in order to find marine mammals along the coast of Volcan Wolf. It is a splendid landscape decorated by big shield volcanoes which dominate the view.
While navigating, the ocean had a big surprise ready for us- dozens of common dolphins swimming to the north. Read More>

Stromness and Prion Island
Just as breakfast was ending, National Geographic Orion cautiously entered Stromness Bay in a heavy fog. The gloom added a sense of foreboding to the scene as the ruined, crumbling buildings of the Stromness whaling station appeared as ghosts from an abandoned age. Giant, rusting propellers were scattered on the beach next to all manner of pipes and gantries and masts and boilers, twisted metal and links of chain: the legacy of the industrial revolution. Rather than risk fouling our anchor on the submerged junkyard at the bottom of the bay, our captain chooses to simply push the ship's bow right up to the landing beach!
When the hunting of whales in the southern ocean became economically unfeasible, the humans moved on, leaving places like this for the locals to inherit. Read More>

Isla Magdalena
When someone says "Good morning," it usually means, "Hello," or, "I hope you have a pleasant day." Today's morning for us was much more of a special good morning than that—it was fabulous! The pre-dawn sky revealed a glorious string of planets, all five that can be seen with the naked eye. Pelicans and cormorants flew past, backlit by the sunlight as it glinted above a shoreline of mangroves and then gently crept across the immense dunes to the west.
Eager whale watchers boarded the rubber boats for our final outing to watch these magnificent mammals from water level. Read More>

Fernandina Island
After a night of navigation, we awoke in the western realm of the Galapagos, anchored in front of one of the most beautiful and pristine islands in the world, Fernandina. There is nothing quite as fascinating, at least in my opinion, as an island. In biogeographical terms, an island can be defined as an area of habitat suitable for a specific ecosystem, surrounded by an expanse of unsuitable habitat. These can be terrestrial islands, like mountain tops, oases, woody patches surrounded by cultivated land etc. These can be pieces of continental land mass that become isolated from the mainland by tectonic movements or rising water levels, starting life with a full complement of flora and fauna which gradually becomes impoverished. Or they can be true oceanic islands, remote pieces of land surrounded by large stretches of ocean, that rise up from below as the tips of huge submarine volcanoes, for example, starting life as barren stretches of lava that gradually become colonized from afar. Their inherent isolation means that the species making up these insular ecosystems receive no gene flow from external sources, and they tend to depart along their very own, often peculiar, evolutionary pathways. The more isolated an island, the less important the role of immigration becomes in contributing to its biodiversity and the greater the role of speciation. Williamson (1981) defined this concept as follows: "oceanic islands are where evolution is faster than immigration; continental islands are where immigration faster than evolution."
The colonization potential of different plant and animal groups is directly proportional to their dispersal abilities – islands can be "continental" to some animal and plant groups and "oceanic" to others, and remote island groups are colonized by "sweepstake" dispersal. Read More>

Drake Passage
We gathered from all corners of the world to the farthest southern town in the world, Ushuaia, and then onto National Geographic Explorer. Excitement was high as we pulled away from the dock and into the Beagle Channel. We heard how unusual the day's weather was—calm, warm, and only wisps of clouds. Normally the Beagle Channel at Ushuaia is rather nasty with wind, rain, and low clouds. What would the next few hours bring as we entered the infamous Drake Passage? Because of long travels many were sound asleep as the ship turned to the south and set a course directly across this 600-mile-long body of Southern Ocean separating the tip of South America with the Antarctic Continent.
This morning people began emerging early due to various time zones where they had originated. Read More>

Tonle Sap (Kampong Tralach & Kampong Chhnang)
When you're standing on the river bank watching the sunrise, you know that you got up early. Standing with us was the entire guest complement of the Jahan (well, nearly everyone). They were looking with some anticipation at the row of ox-drawn carts that stood before them. The oxen were looking somewhat ambivalent. One by one, our guests climbed into the back of the cart, before declaring in most cases how surprisingly comfortable it was. And then we were off, trundling along the dusty track bathed in the golden rays of the rising sun, experiencing a mode of transport that has not changed for thousands of years (indeed the design of the carts is identical to those depicted in the carvings in Angkor Wat). If it ain't broke...

Royal Bay, St. Andrew's Bay, South Georgia
We awoke this morning to the gentle radio voice of our fearless expedition leader, Shaun Powell, convincing us to witness the pre-dawn light as it turned the clouds red and the snow dusted mountains of Royal Bay orange. Once the sleep was rubbed out of our eyes it was obvious why we were here. Our trusted Zodiacs and drivers carried us bravely over the moraine and through the surf to the calm waters inside the bay. Juvenile fur seals escorted us to shore, where we would find a shoreline littered with king penguins. It was hard to believe that this colony of 30,000 pairs is one of the smaller colonies on South Georgia. No amount of photos can capture the magnificence of this scene, with mountains, glaciers and penguins in every direction we looked. Some of us just sat down amongst the penguins and soaked it all in. We then braved the seas yet again, and made it back to the ship for lunch and a brief siesta, only to be awed into silence at our next destination.
This ride on the Zodiacs proved to be a bit more exciting as we stormed the shore break at St. Read More>

Boca de Soledad
Today we spent the entire day in the Boca de Soledad. We awakened aboard National Geographic Sea Bird to 61 degrees Fahrenheit, blue skies with high patchy clouds, and a light breeze. It was perfect weather to climb into our inflatable boats and get a closer look at the gray whales. And boy did we get closer looks!
The boats sped along the water and there were blows in all directions, near and far. Read More>

Week 17: Thursday practice peek - no McCourty, Boyce
Posted by Shalise Manza Young, Globe Staff December 26, 2013 11:42 AM
FOXBOROUGH – The Patriots are holding their second-to-last practice of the regular season on the lower grass field behind Gillette Stadium, with players in shells (soft pads) and sweats.
There were two players not spotted: S Devin McCourty (concussion) and WR Josh Boyce (ankle).
New England did not hold practice on Wednesday since players were given the day off for Christmas, but the team reported that they would not have practiced had one been held. On Tuesday the Patriots had a walk-through, and neither was spotted during the media-access period.
McCourty was injured against the Ravens on Sunday, while Boyce was injured against the Dolphins on Dec. 15 and has not practiced since.
