Greenland's Jakobshavn could be poised to speed up. So could even bigger glaciers farther north — with significant implications for global sea level
UPDATE 10/25/10: I've made a correction in this post. The original version said the fjord through which the Jakobshavn glacier flows is 1.6 meters below sea level. That was incorrect. It's 1.6 kilometers.
The Jakobshavn Glacier in Greenland already flows so fast you can stand on a ridge above it and watch it move. In fact, it's the fastest moving glacier on Earth, flowing from the land to the sea at more than 14 kilometers per year.
But we may not have seen anything yet. The map above shows why it could be primed to move even faster, and thereby dump even more ice into the sea.
And if the same process plays out with glaciers farther north — and there is growing evidence that it may do just that (see the map and discussion lower in this post) — there would be significant implications for global sea level.
The image above is a kind of topographic map showing the elevation of the bedrock below and around the Jakobshavn Glacier — as if Greenland's overlying ice had been removed. Warm colors show areas of the bedrock that are above sea level. The green and blue colors show areas where it is below sea level. The fjord through which Jakobshavn flows out to sea on Greenland's western coast is visible as the green and blue trough at the left side of the image. As is evident from the map, the fjord actually continues inland for another 50 miles, and to a depth of 1.6 kilometers below sea level. Why is this significant?
The calving front of the glacier marked on the map shows the current edge of the glacier. This is where ice bergs calve from Jakobshaven and float out to sea. Since 2001, the calving front has retreated about 6 miles (10 kilometers). During July 6 and 7 this past summer, it pulled back an entire mile. Now, the calving front is poised right at the western edge of the fjord's continuation into the ice sheet.
"If the calving front retreats from where it is now, it can draw out a lot of ice," says Konrad Steffen, director of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences at the University of Colorado.
The effect will be like pulling the plug from the drain of a bathtub. It will mean that much more ice will be able to drain from the Greenland Ice Sheet through Jakobshavn into the sea.
"You can actually pull out a lot of ice with a fjord below sea level like this," Steffen says. "And there are about four or five others like this."
The image at left is from a presentation Steffen gave last Thursday at the Center for Environmental Journalism. Like the image at the top of this post, it is a topographic map of bedrock. This is the topography of Greenland with all the ice removed.
The blue areas on the map show regions where the enormous weight of the ice sheet — which is almost 2 miles thick at its maximum — pushes the bedrock below sea level. And the numbers mark the major fjords through which glaciers drain into the sea.
Because the ice must pass through such narrow outlets, these fjords are the bathtub plugs. But if the calving fronts of the glaciers were to retreat far enough into the interior, the plugs would be removed, and the interior of the ice sheet could then drain much more quickly.
Jakobshavn Glacier on the southwestern coast is marked number 4. And as the map shows, there are several more farther north. What's happening to them?
The graphic below addresses this question. It is based on data collected by NASA's Grace satellites. (The satellites, which fly in formation together and use gravity measurements to detect changes in mass below them, are seen in the illustration to the right.)
In the map on the left, pink and blue colors indicate where Greenland was losing ice mass between 2003 and 2007. Most of the loss was concentrated on the southeast coast. As the map to the right indicates, by this past March loss of ice had extended all the way up to the northwestern coast — where at least two of the big fjords of concern are located. One of these is the Petermann Glacier (marked number 2 on the bedrock topography map).
In early August, an ice island four times the size of Manhattan Island calved from the front of the Petermann glacier. With this, the glacier lost about one-quarter of its 43-mile long floating ice-shelf. "The freshwater stored in this ice island could keep the Delaware or Hudson rivers flowing for more than two years. It could also keep all U.S. public tap water flowing for 120 days," says Andreas Muenchow of the University of Delaware's College of Earth,Ocean and Environment (quoted in a press release).
Petermann and the other more northerly glaciers "go farther inland, are much broader, and go much lower below sea level than Jakobshavn," Steffen says. (In fact, whereas Jakobshavn is about 7.5 miles across, Petermann is about 60 miles wide.) Right now, these larger rivers of ice are not moving as quickly as Jakobshavn. But if their ice fronts were to retreat more rapidly, and the glaciers were to speed up enough, they could "drain most of northern Greenland in decades or a century."
And that could have a significant impact on global sea level. How significant? For insight into that question, please see my previous post, which was also based on Steffen's presentation to our group.
This thing has 16 Comments
Ah, that depth would really be significant if it were 1.6 *kilo*meters!
Did he mention Pfeffer et al. during his presentation, BTW? In the case of the Jakobshavn in particular, I think they rely on that tight spot to keep things from quickly backing up much farther that they have already.
Anyway, really great post, but it still does leave that hanging question I mentioned in the previous post.
Steve: I'm planning to speak with Pfeffer. But at the moment I'm sick as a dog, and behind on grading papers. So it'll have to wait until mid-week maybe.
Thanks, I'll look forward to it. Get better soon.
Ice is a fluid with structural and mechanical strength that is dependent on its heat content. The more heat, the weaker the ice. When ice warms to near its melting point, then the potential energy of the ice can provide the energy to drive a progressive structural failure with the ice sheet collapsing into a slurry.
We now have 3 plumes of warm, moist air (seasonally) blowing across Greenland. Every gram of water vapor that condenses on the ice melts 7.5 gram of ice resulting in 8.5 gram of water absorbing sunlight. When that water falls through a moulin, its heat and potential energy is transferred to the interior of the ice sheet.
Recently, we have not seen progressive structural failure of ice sheets because ice is a good insulator. Thus, glaciers melt from the outside in, with the interior retaining more mechanical strength as they flow form a colder region to a warmer (lower) region. In a glacier, only the lower tip, the calving face has a heat content of 0C plus some heat of fusion. However, in the current case of Greenland, we are warming very large volumes of ice all at once. And, this ice is currently supported by the (weak) ice around it.
At some point, a moulin will disrupt this mutual support, and instead of the moulin healing after the surface water drains, the ice will start calving into the moulin, and the released potential energy will shock the surrounding ice, resulting in additional calving. Then, the ice around the moulin will undergo progressive structural collapse, rapidly forming a slurry of ice and water.
Ice is not a good dam material. Ice will not dam water with a head of more than ~6 meters. Where we have large glacial lake outburst floods, part of the "ice dam" is actually terminal moraine – rock, not ice. And, such dams composed of terminal moraine and ice do not last very long and are less than 30 meters high rather than the many hundreds proposed for the great ice dams. Thus, the great melt water pulses were not ice dams breaking, but ice sheets undergoing progressive collapse. The wave benches from Lake Missoula were from shallow lakes sitting on of top hundreds of feet of ice. That canyon of ice broke up suddenly, and repeatedly, to form the Lake Missoula Floods. Similar, but much larger flow channels surround Greenland. Yes, over the next few years we can expect parts of the GIS to move much faster.
The rock guys all say, "We have not seen progressive collapse of ice before," to which I would reply, "Where are your notes from the Missoula Floods?
The moulins on Greenland prove that ice dams cannot support large heads of liquid water.
Feynman did the basic calcs in 1964.
Tom, just to clarify my comment above about the typo, it's Steffen's typo assuming that the graphic at the top of the post is one of his slides. Note that the correct 1.6 km depth figure appears at the lower right.
Aaron, is that based on a paper? Also, could you provide a specific reference re Feynman?
Steve: I'm checking with Konrad on a number of things. I've got some questions out to him, and will clarify things soon.
First and foremost, I'm hoping to clarify his statement of up to 3 meters of sea level rise. I do not fully understand where this comes from. But 2 meters comes from Vermeer and Rahmstorf's statistical modeling paper (PNAS December 22, 2009 vol. 106 no. 51 21527–21532). What about the extra 1 meter? I suspect this is could be an educated guess based on the potential impact of dynamic processes (and also for beyond 2100). But I'm just not sure. I've asked Konrad. With a bit of luck, I'll get an answer soon.
As for meters versus kilometers, I'm clarifying that with Konrad as well. He did say 1.6 meters in his talk, but that does sound insignificant, especially considering the size of the calving icebergs from Jokobshavn. On the other hand, 1.6 kilometers sounds like quite an extreme depth. It may well be right, though. I hope to have an answer soon.
Thanks, Tom.
It sounds as if the 2-3 meters was a reference to a north Greenland contribution only, which would make for a possible global SLR of at least ~5 meters given everything else (which note, oddly, is the same figure Hansen pulled out of his nether region as a blue-sky worst-case scenario for this century and got huge flack for). But anyway, I assume we'll be getting a definitive statement that will clarify all.
I just saw a one-liner from Jason Box in an MSNBC story that SLR estimates would have to go up, but there were no specifics.
If these guys are speaking out based on a radical departure of observed Greenland behavior in just this season, then yikes.
BTW, a minor point I forgot to mention before: Your first post implied that the ice was all that's keeping central Greenland below sea level. My understanding (no reference, sorry, but obviously Steffen would know) is that post-melt Greenland would be an inland sea surrounded by a mountainous archipelago. Possibly the inner part would come above current sea level, but the final configuration would include a 70-meter increase in sea level (and whatever degree of PGR is involved). Possibly there would be more exposure at intermediate stages of melt, though.
But looking again I see that the 2-3 meters was in reference to the statistical modeling, which in turn has to be a reference to V&R's global figure.
Even so a loss of the north Greenland ice has to be on the order of three meters, and the idea that such a thing is within the realm of possibility within decades is alarming in the extreme.
I look forward to all being clarified.
I finally got some clarification from Steffen. 1.6 kilometers is correct, so thank you Steve for pointing that out. I've made the correction. Also, I clarified the sea level rise issue in the previous post. I won't try to explain it here. Just head over there and see the corrected version.
Given that a one meter rise in sea level will induce staggering costs to lives around the Earth, the shock that a two meter rise is possible in the next few decades (assuming that Antarctica is having similar glacial melt issues), is unthinkably bad. Keep up the good and dedicated work Tom.
This is terrific! Thanks.
And thanks also to Aaron Lewis, along with the correct inference from Feynman, a darling of deniers, which always gets my nanny because he would spin in his grave.
Good article and interesting comments (Aron)!
Has the moulins been proven to end up in the sea?
If, not there might be some truble in the comming years?
One more point…
I would like to see an article "Every Thing You Always Wanted to Know About Moulins, but where afraid to ask".
The above Aaron comment just does not make sense. We have glacier in all sorts of climate settings including relatively temperate settings with glaciers calving into the ocean and in tropical settings with very intense solar radiation. In none of these settings is the structure of the ice weakened beyond the immediate by melting in a substantial way that would lead to its losing its solid strength and becoming somewhat of a slurry as suggested. I have spent plenty of days on glacier when the temperature was in the 70′s and melwater is running everywhere and the ice we were on was plenty strong. Drop an ice cube in a glass and the ice does not disinegrate into shards. The glacier on Eyjafjallajökull did not just turn into a slurry despite this massive heat induced meltwater running over and through the Gigjokull Glacier
re Lewis-Pelto comments above. I thought about this and finally got up the courage to ask a physicist friend some dumb questions, like does an ice cube ever melt from the center. Answer: no
Nonetheless, I think it's worth keeping in mind that there are multiple influences, including the different sources of warmer air/currents, the mix of other materials, and the honeycomb effect of some of the moulins.
Thanks for the education, and please forgive me for my sloppy – almost nonexistent – "science".
Forgot to mention, another issue is timeframe. When a scientists says rapid, he may mean thousands (or more) of years, or at least hundred or tens of years (a thunderclap of time in geological time) where we tend to think of rapid means immediate in a more human sense. This tends to contribute to the confusion and difficulty of misinterpretation.

After experimenting with several workflows for deployment in git, I've finally found one I really like.
- You can push to staging at any time; every staging push is automatically tagged with a unique tag.
- You can only push an existing staging tag to production. This helps to enforce QA of all pushes to production.
Using tags instead of branches has a lot of benefits:
- No permanent remote branches on "canonical" git repo
- More transparent historical record of what's been pushed where & when, and easily seeing what's changed between deploys
- Uses tags for what they're meant for instead of "hacking" branches to do a job they weren't meant to do
One of the coolest things that fell out of this new workflow is the ability to see a changelog between two points:
$ git log --format=oneline production-2009-09-09.6..production-2009-09-17.115c0b4c9a3f45471926d8372d6dd3606b107ea3d3 Fix rake externals task to properly update phocoa cache. fix copy/paste naming bug.62a943e96e90935c491f589efdc926c6975f7fb6 Merge branch 'master' of github.com:apinstein/neybor9a5bd41d9ab9947b134db72bba2a226ed36107f8 [Story1111494] Make 0-priced syndicators show up as free.8248fb1eecfc2c59007a99ab499bf6d86942d055 [Story1301780] Added a link to the dashboard on the main admin pagee2af47e70b3ba75fdd9c253f349ef35b7c61c01f Added site-wide stats and changed colors on all graphs66b37218a4342f2e4ef6b16bd120f6e350284fea Merge branch 'master' into fixing_tests
The concepts used in this workflow can be used with any deployment engine, however we use Capistrano and have published our git+capistrano deployment recipe that allows you to easily implement this workflow in any git+capistrano project.
Requires the cap multistage extension:
gem install capistrano capistrano-ext
INSTALLATION: require the gitflow file after your multistage require
require 'capistrano/ext/multistage'
require 'git-deployment/gitflow.rb'
Expects stages "staging" and "production".
Whenever you want to push the currently checked-out code to staging, just do:
cap staging deploy
gitflow will automatically:
- create a unique tag in the format of 'staging-YYYY-MM-DD.X'
- configure multistage to use that tag for the deploy
- push the code and tags to the remote "origin"
- and run the normal deploy task for the staging stage.
Whenever you want to push code to production, you must specify the staging tag you wish to promote to production:
cap production deploy -s tag=staging-2009-09-08.2
gitflow will automatically:
- alias the staging tag to a production tag like: production-2008-09-08.2
- configure multistage to use that tag for the deploy
- push the code and tags to the remote "origin"
- and run the normal deploy task for the production stage.
Influences and References:
- http://reinh.com/blog/2009/03/02/a-git-workflow-for-agile-teams.html - good concepts, but not automated or totally tag-based
- http://www.brynary.com/2008/8/3/our-git-deployment-workflow - Influential, but uses branches instead of tags

My wife, who - perhaps - is too emotionally dependent upon "the holiday spirit" was heartbroken, breaking down in tears. I posted photos of the items on the facebook pages of several Schenectady neighborhoods, and shockingly, the next morning everything was dumped in a pile in our front yard (not without some damage, unfortunately).

Much prefers sweevil, snarky EJ over Father Figure Fucktard Eejiot.
And isn't that what makes all of this interesting and fun to debate?
I can understand why some people enjoyed EJole together. I get that there are those that enjoy Safe and those who loved Lumi. And remarkably - there are already people that are excited about EJ and Arianna, presuming they will be paired romantically.
We all are drawn to the couples we love for a variety of reasons. And sometimes we change our minds mid-stream for any number of causes. But the bottom line is any of us can be celebrating while others are ranting with just the flick of the writers pen.
So why spend time questioning why people like who they like? I enjoy the debates about the story and how things might go but I think it's a lost cause to expect that anyone is going to change their mind about the pairing they support just because someone else ridicules their choice. :lol:

Tearing apart the iPad was a 31-step process, and a look inside reveals some interesting insights. The highlights are as follows, courtesy of iFixit CEO Kyle Wiens:
- The iPad's battery has five times the capacity of the battery in the iPhone. The iPad actually has two batteries wired in parallel, for a total of 24.8 Watt-hours.
- On average, the iPad sips just 2.5 Watts. That's 1/5 the power of a compact fluorescent bulb!
- The A4 processor is a Package-on-Package (PoP), with at least three layers of circuitry layered on top of each other. A4 is packaged just like the iPhone processors, microprocessor in one package and 2 DRAMs in the other package. They're all sandwiched together in a very nice and thin PoP.
- The iPad has 512 MB RAM inside the A4 processor package. iFixit had to X-Ray the processor to confirm this. The X-Ray revealed two layers of RAM. In addition to the ARM processor, the A4 package contains two stacked 256 MB Samsung K4 SDRAM dies.
- The rumored slot for a camera is actually taken up by the ambient light sensor.
- The glass panel is quite thick: about 1.18 mm, compared to the iPhone's 1.02 mm thick glass. This ensures durability with the panel's large size.
- The touch circuit design is more similar to the old 2G and early 3G iPhones than the current 3GS. Chip analysis firm Chipworks told iFixit that "there is so much room in the iPad that Apple didn't need to use small chips, just the right ones and cheap ones."
These tidbits of information added together explain just how the iPad gets such epically long battery life (12 hours, according to some tests) and incredible speed. From our testing today, the iPad is surprisingly fast, especially with Google Maps' street view and web browsing, and we've barely even dented the battery.

So that's my little effort here with this first book, Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims."
"Masculinity has been portrayed as the problem in America. Masculinity, male power is the reason there are so many wars. Male power is the reason so many people get hurt. Male power is why women and children are not safe in marriage. Male power equals predatory behavior.

Android and Google OS sound like a cool idea for media players. They might actually support gapless and a good amount of codecs. Will the t58 have the features of the t51? I hope so.

|Will the t58 have the features of the t51? I hope so.
If you are a Chinese forums goer, you will know T51 has been bashed so hard lately (on accusation on shilling because it is getting so popular) that the Teclast PR guy actually has to come forth and plea members there not to post overly-positive review. I am not really sure whether it is the company or the market becoming more twisted these days.
T58 is a MID based on Rockchip 2808; T51 is a DAP with a Rockchip 2806. Based on the RAmos W7, which is the same internally and further along in development, I haven't seen any photos or other evidence to indicate there is a separate audio codec included; if there is it would probably be a WM8988. The focus on these MIDs is going to be on Android, WiFi, GPS, and such...media playback, not so much.
|[Edit:] They call the T58 a PMP (Portable Media Player), not a MID, so it seems that video and sound are still the priority.
|The SmartQ 5 is known to be pretty bad for video... so yes, they can do that I guess :P~
|So, at different perspective, the T51 is really good compared to typical China made DAPs?
|Could be shrilling, but I think that's partly because that's how they do marketing on Chinese websites (as I'm sure you're aware of) -- everyone releases a long stream of stratospherically positive documents, shots with pretty? girls, dropped way before the products ship. Very often I look at them and I can't actually tell if something's actually coming out, and you dont get real life photos until way later.
|All the hype (imo) about which chip they use and don't use is a prime example for this - didnt a lot of people complain about wolfson on the ipods?
|And leaving one sort of corporate juggernaut for another.

Contemporary Prints
January 16 - March 7
Curated by curatorial assistant Elizabeth Hicks, Luzak-Lindner curatorial assistant Melissa Ragain and curatorial intern Kyle Haskins.
Partly constructed, partly mechanized, contemporary prints developed after 1970 in a trajectory similar to contemporary photography. Innovations in printing processes allowed the once demure work to reach the scale of painting. Whether produced as a single image or in multiples, prints have moved from the margins of mass production to become an integral part of contemporary art practice. In the latter part of the twentieth century they were the perfect vehicles for artists concerned with the conceptual critique of authenticity, seriality, and cultural production. More recently, an increased interest in mark making and craft has continued to draw artists to printmaking.
The prints in this show share two fundamental concerns: a desire to reveal the process by which an image arises and an interest in the theoretical concerns invested in meaning and communication. Artists today use the print as a mode of investigation often allowing discoveries made in the printmaking process to inform work made in other mediums. Many are drawn to printmaking because of the potential of producing varied and beautiful surfaces. Artists strive for an emotive and intellectual response through the interaction of ink and paper. Techniques are chosen for their distinctive results: woodcuts display a sense of relief and graphic force; etchings offer delicate fine lines; lithography can result in thick bold lines and broad washes. Collaboration is also a part of the story of contemporary printmaking. The accord between the artist and master print maker often facilitates an even greater range of experimentation.
The exhibition, organized according to technique, presents prints from the collection created in the last two decades. The selection is not limited to works by Americans but includes artists from Cuba, Finland and Russia suggesting that the resurgence and rethinking of printmaking is not just a contemporary phenomenon but also a global one. Also apparent in the exhibition is the dynamic and pluralist manner in which contemporary artists have approached printmaking. In some instances, as with the print rendered by conceptual artist Fred Wilson, the work represents the first time the artist has engaged with the medium. In other instances, photographers like Andres Serrano have turned to prints to achieve textures unattainable in photography, and painters like Bill Jacklin search for something new in the process each time they produce monotypes. What ties all of these artists together is their penchant for experimentation and their need to test the ability of the medium to present ideas in fresh ways.
The exhibition is made possible through the generous support of Arts$.

The Jordan Son Of Mars is thus far the unmatched 'surprise hit' of the year, selling out immediately and being spotted on the feet of hip-hop megastars Jay-Z and Lil' Wayne. With the mass popularity of Air Jordans reaching newfound heights, we expect tomorrow's release of the Son Of Mars to disappear from stores just as quickly, setting the tone for a month's worth of Air Jordan releases in April that includes the Air Jordan XII 'Playoffs' and the two Jordan Brand Classic PEs of the Air Jordan 2012. Look out for the Son Of Mars in Jordan Brand retailers tomorrow, or snag 'em now at the comfort of your own home by picking one off from yellownsxt on eBay.

Although World War II is well-trodden territory when it comes to gaming, developers continue to make games surrounding the premiere event of the 20th Century. And, so it is with the new PC game Order of War, for which Allen Rausch has been kind enough to write a review:
'World War II has been done a million times in a million strategy games, so a game needs to be pretty special to stand out. Genre newcomers Wargaming.net and Square Enix tried to do just that with Order of War, a broad-based real-time strategy title that tries to combine hard-core strategy, accessibility and cinematic flair. The result is a good-looking but shallow title that ultimately fails to satisfy.'

Late rally comes up short for PHS
PARKERSBURG – Meeting for the third time this season, visiting Capital tallied three runs in the third en route to handing host Parkersburg a 4-3 setback in the 11th place game of the Mountain State Athletic Conference baseball playoffs played Monday night at Stadium Field.
"We split a doubleheader against them (PHS) earlier in the season," said Cougars head coach Robert Massey. "In fact the kid they had pitching (Caleb Thrash) shut us out 6-0 in the first game."
That would not be the case, however, Monday as Capital's Anthony Gavin led off the second inning with a solo home run that came within inches of hitting the scoreboard in right centerfield. The Cougars weren't finished as catcher Seth Roadcap followed with a single, but was thrown out at second as Thrash fielded a bunt by Capital's Brandon Thomas and threw a bullet to shortstop Jeff Davis to get Roadcap at second.
A single by Trenten Campbell put runners at first and second with only one out and it appeared as if Thrash would work his way out of the jam when he induced the Cougars' Jordan Berry to hit a grounder to short which Davis turned into a 6-4 force for the inning's second out.
Capital centerfielder Austin Hupp would prove to be the thorn in the side, however, as the Cougars' leadoff hitter drove a Thrash offering into left field, bringing home Thomas and Bray to give the visitors a 3-0 lead.
Parkersburg, now 10-11 with a home game against George Washington slated for 6 p.m. today, got one run back in the bottom of the fourth thanks to a walk, a sacrifice bunt by Damon Ribeiro and a pair of errors by the Cougars.
Capital, now 13-15 with a game at George Washington on Wednesday, tallied what would prove to be the winning run in the top half of the sixth on an RBI-single by Kaleb Kinder that brought in Bray.
But, the explosions were only beginning.
First baseman Kyle Foster, who went 3-for-3 on the night, opened the home half of the seventh with a single and advanced to third on an Anthony Kist double to left center field.
Foster would come home on a groundout to third by Lucas Goodwin with pinch runner Colby Bennett taking third on the play. Bennett would then score the Big Reds third run of the game when Cole Parker grounded out to second for the second out of the inning.
That would be as close as it would get as winning pitcher Jacob Williams induced Levi Casto to ground out to second to end the game.

Music Review: Chamber music crusade bodes wellBy Jim LoweJim Lowe / Staff photo
Rachel Calin, right, was soloist with the Burlington Ensemble in Castleton. From left are violinists Michael Dabroski, Sofia Hirsch and Zoya Tsvetkova.
The Burlington Ensemble Vermonts up-and-coming chamber music group despite an all-too-small audience, delivered a truly exciting performance of Mendelssohns String Octet, Opus 20, on Friday at Castleton State Colleges beautiful new summer pavilion.
Fridays program, Starry Night, was also performed in Vergennes, Richmond and Shelburne.
The concert marks the beginning of the groups residency at Castleton, where it will present concerts throughout the area and participate in educational programs.
BE, as it is called, is a varying ensemble of largely Vermont professional musicians. Founded by violinists Sofia Hirsch and Michael Dabroski, it is more a collective than an organization, and receives support by partnering with area nonprofit charities.
In return for a portion of a concerts proceeds, the charity promotes the concert through its own channels.
Over the last couple of years, the group has presented successful concerts in Burlington and a summer series in Shelburne area. This coming season, however, BE will branch out with residencies at the Shelburne Museums new Pizzagalli Center for the Arts and the Spruce Peak Performing Arts Center in Stowe, as well as at Castleton.
Felix Mendelssohn wrote his Octet in E-flat Major, Opus 20, in 1824 when he was 16. Its a brilliant work, full of youthful drive and beautiful melodies. Its Scherzo even predicts the composers Overture to A Midsummer Nights Dream Opus 21.
Like most chamber music of the era, the Octet is first violin-driven, though even more so. Russian-born violinist Zoya Tsvetkova, who plays in the Vermont Symphony Orchestra, led the ensemble with brilliance that was beautiful but never overpowering.
The ensembles playing, though not flawless, was of a consistently high quality. More importantly, these fine players delivered the joy of this music unflinchingly. (Smiles among the players were frequent.) They successfully achieved both the drive and the lyricism, and the Andante was lovely with real tenderness.
Clarinetist Elizabeth LeBlanc proved a most expressive player with plenty of nuance in Bernard Hermanns rambling 1967 quintet for clarinet and strings, Souvenir de Voyage. The work, while not terribly cohesive, is full of beautiful parts and evocative of the composers scores for Alfred Hitchcock films. Violinist Hirsch led the able quartet of strings: violinist Dabroski, violist Elizabeth Reid and cellist John Dunlop.
Rachel Calin was the able guest soloist in the Concerto No. 2 in b minor for double bass and strings by Italian Romantic composer and double bass virtuoso Giovanni Bottesini (1821-1889). The bass is not often heard as a solo instrument, but Calin proved more than able in this less than memorable vehicle.
Calins performance, though a little strained in the first movement, was beautiful and lyrical in the slow movement and virtuosic in the finale.
The Burlington Ensemble is not only a crusader for chamber music throughout Vermont, it offers some very fine performances.

New pension regulation allows workers to choose investments
By John Liu ,The China Post
July 5, 2014, 12:00 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- An amendment was made to the Labor Pension Act allowing workers to withdraw part of their pensions on a monthly basis so that they can invest in financial products of their own choice.
Those who chose to do so may also enjoy tax benefits, however, they will have to shoulder any losses incurred, as the government will not guarantee any profits from this type of investment. Under the new proposal, workers are not allowed to pocket their profits until they reach 60 years old, unless financial products of their choice allow for advanced profit withdrawal.
The proposal has been submitted to the Executive Yuan for approval. There is a one-year buffer period, and the new rule will take effect in 2016 at the earliest.
The Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) and the Ministry of Labor (MOL) will form a review committee to create various types of investment products, which workers can then purchase from financial institutions. Workers are advised to purchase investment products that best suit their risk profile.
The Current System
The MOL already has a mechanism that allows workers to withdraw funds and make deposits into their own investment accounts. The funds cannot be reverted into a government-managed fund.
Under the current system, the government takes charge of the management of the pension. Even if the investment suffers losses, the pension is still guaranteed a two-year CD interest rate.
The current system allows employers to allocate 6 percent of their employees' earnings into employees' pension accounts. Workers may also withdraw part of the funds on their own, but this practice is not very common. With the amendment, workers may choose their own investment targets, which the MOL hopes will motivate more people to withdraw funds on their own.
Self-withdrawal Dependent on Earning Ability
There are a total of 5.86 million workers enrolled in the pension fund. Roughly 344,000 of them have withdrawn funds on their own on a monthly basis. The number is relatively low, and the proportion is less than 6 percent of the total.
Furthermore, the data shows that it is mostly the high-income earners who make the choice of self-withdrawal. For workers earning NT$72,000 or more per month, about 30 percent withdraw funds.
For the group that earns between NT$45,000 and NT$72,000, the proportion is 12 percent. The proportion is 1.5 percent for the group earning NT$30,000 or less.
It shows that those earning less are under economic pressure, and therefore are less willing to make the withdrawal. For high-income earners, self-withdrawal serves to cut tax payments.
Citibank investment analysts recommend workers to invest for the long term, so that there will be sufficient money after retirement.

#1960Fashion: Ladies Would You Rock Over The Knee Gladiator Heels?Follow @that1960chick
Over the knee gladiator heels are one of this summer's hottest trends, they have been spotted on everyone from Rihanna who was seen rocking the $3700 Tom Ford stunners to Ciara who was photographed in a $2,715 Altuzarra x Gianvito Rossi Embellished pair.
The first time I saw these shoes I thought they were a bit too much for my taste but after spotting them on one of the Instagram fashionistas I follow (blogger/entertainment reporter Funmi Ogunja) I am lusting seriously after a pair.
Right now my pockets aren't that deep for the high end designer ones and even if they were I can't justify spending 4000 dollars on shoes I probably wouldn't wear more than twice.
These are seasonal shoes, It takes a lot of confidence to pull off this look & I reckon it covers a multitude of sins, so if you have questionable legs (sorry) you could get away with wearing these with shorts or a short skirt.
Ladies and some dudes (you know yourselves)
Would You Rock The Knee High Gladiator Heels?

Coun. Don Mitchell, seen at the Feb. 24, 2014 meeting, gave notice of a motion regarding city revenues from the sale of seven jointly-funded Moose Jaw Housing Authority family housing units.
In the fourth quarter of 2013, the financial services department reviewed and approved 18 tenders worth $1.11 million.
Other activities included presenting the operating budget, preparing and mailing out prepayment notices, producing a supplementary tax roll, continued work on the information technologies master plan and the equipment reserve budget preparations are underway, all in the period of Oct. 1, 2013 and Dec. 31, 2013.
The quarterly reports for the financial services report was presented to council at Monday's meeting. Council reviewed the quarterly reports on Feb. 10, but the financial services report wasn't available then. The report was received and filed.
Other items considered at Monday's meeting:
• Coun. Don Mitchell gave notice of a motion he will make at the next council meeting regarding a proposal for the city to transfer revenues from the sale of seven jointly-funded Moose Jaw housing authority family housing units from the miscellaneous operating revenue account to the innovative housing fund in the capital budget.
• Jody Hauta, director of parks and recreation, presented the 43rd monthly update on Mosaic Place and YaraCentre. At Mosaic Place, primary issues being reviewed are heating levels in the curling rink and inconsistent lighting in the arena.
At YaraCentre, the contractor has been paid out for the project as the warranty and deficiency items have been completed. Within the next two weeks, there will be installation of catch basins on the storm sewer that runs on the east side of YaraCentre. Landscaping will be done in spring 2014.
Like last month, the remaining contingency to complete the project totals $239,492.
• Council received and adopted the minutes of the three recent budget committee meetings, the personnel committee meeting and the executive committee meeting.
• Council dealt with the reports of the economic development commission, the housing advisory committee, the heritage advisory committee and the cultural diversity advisory committee.
In the housing advisory committee meeting minutes, council received and filed the report and recommendations from the social housing sub-committee meeting held on Jan. 8. Council defeated the committee's recommendation to reaffirm the city's equity share in the 114 housing units to be sold based on the original partnership agreements between Sask. Housing and the city.
Councillors also defeated the committee's recommendation to request a meeting with Sask. Housing officials and the Ministry of Social Services to discuss the sale of the Moose Jaw Housing Authority's family housing units, with a meeting to involve city council.

Important properties include, of course, soundness and completeness, as well as finite model property: if a formula is false in some interpretation, then it is false a finite interpretation.What is important to say about a boolean algebra (or any other semantic)
A Boolean algebra is a partially ordered set. One can build a so-called interval algebra from a totally ordered sets. Yes, Boolean algebras can be infinite.the boolean algebras are defined on finite, totally ordeerd sets; my intuition is that it could be extended for infinite, totally ordered sets
Which class?Also, this particular boolean algebra belongs to a specific class of boolean algebras. What should I mention about this specific class.
Some types and properties of Boolean algebras as mentioned in Wikipedia and the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

|The 26th Alaska State Legislature, 2009 - 2010
In-State Gas Pipeline
|Signed Into Law! Legis Resolve 41
Sponsored by Rep. Jay Ramras
Co-Sponsors: Rep. Millett, Rep. Johnson, Rep. Chenault, Rep. Hawker, Rep. Dahlstrom, Rep. Neuman, Rep. Olson, Sen. Therriault, Sen. McGuire, Sen. Meyer, Sen. Huggins, Sen. Stevens, Sen. Wagoner, Sen. Bunde
"Urging the Governor to commit to providing energy security for all Alaskans by supporting the in-state gas pipeline project and assisting the project in its efforts to secure needed permits, rights-of-way, engineering specifications, and other approvals necessary or desirable, to bundle the approvals for sale on the market to interested private sector pipeline companies, and in all other ways to act in due haste to move the in-state natural gas pipeline to a construction phase; urging the Governor to support the persons working on the in-state gas pipeline project in discussions with and obtaining of letters of intent from potential industrial users of natural gas, including the Agrium U.S., Inc., facility, the ConocoPhillips/Marathon facility, mining companies, and other businesses interested in value-added processing of Brooks Range foothills that exceeds the needs and demands of Alaskans for affordable natural gas; urging the Governor to continue negotiations with one or more entities capable of producing and supplying natural gas from the North Slope or Brooks Range foothills to Southcentral and Interior Alaska on commercially reasonable terms and in sufficient quantities to support the energy needs of Alaskans and the economic viability of a pipeline; urging the Governor to expedite the permits necessary or desirable to construct and operate a gas-to-liquids facility at Point Mackenzie if a feasibility document shows that it is economically viable; and urging the Governor to take the actions requested in this resolution, as necessary and appropriate, immediately and with all reasonable speed and effort."
Posted: March 31, 2009 : v26-LS0264\T
The intent of House Concurrent Resolution No. 2 is to provide energy security for Alaskans. This resolution urges the Governor to take action that will facilitate development of a small natural gas pipeline, commonly referred to as the "bullet line." With completion of a large diameter gas line not expected until 2016 at the earliest, the bullet line, a smaller project that will be easier and quicker to complete, can bridge the gap in natural gas delivery and provide much needed natural gas long-term to communities along its route between the North Slope and Cook Inlet. Because the gas will be extracted and delivered within the state, and for export, the cost of this resource to the ratepayers could be considerably less than the cost of other sources of fuel consumed by Alaska's residents today. Thus, the bullet line will provide certainty of supply and predictability of price for Alaskans along the bullet line route.

Fission cross section of short‐lived minor actinides is of prime importance for the incineration of minor actinides in high and thermal neutron fluxes. But due to the shortness of their half‐lives, measurements are difficult to handle on these isotopes and the existing data present some large discrepancies. An original method has been developed, in the framework of the Mini‐INCA project at ILL, to measure the fission and capture cross sections of minor actinides with low error bars associated even for short‐lived isotopes. This method lies on a quasi on‐line alpha‐ and gamma‐spectroscopy of irradiated samples and on the use of fission micro‐chambers. Coupled to a very powerful Monte‐Carlo simulation, both microscopic information on nuclear reactions (total and partial cross sections for neutron capture and/or fission reactions) and macroscopic information on transmutation and incineration potentials could be gathered. In this paper, the method is explained in its originality and some recent results are given and compared with existing measurements and evaluated data libraries.

Electrical transmission lines cross a snow-covered field in Dalles Dam, Oregon. | Energy Department photo.
It's #GridWeek on Energy.gov. We're highlighting our efforts to maintain a reliable, resilient and secure electric grid across the country, and what that means for you. We'll be hosting a Twitter chat on How the Grid Works on Thursday November 20 at 2 PM EDT. Send us your questions on Twitter, Facebook and Google+ using #GridWeek.
Top 9 Things You Didn't Know About America's Power Grid
This article is part of the Energy.gov series highlighting the "Top Things You Didn't Know About…" Be sure to check back for more entries soon.
Storified by Energy Department ·

9. Ever wonder how electricity gets to your home? It's delivered through the grid -- a complex network of power plants and transformers connected by more than 450,000 miles of high-voltage transmission lines. The basic process: Electric power is generated at power plants and then moved by transmission lines to substations. A local distribution system of smaller, lower-voltage transmission lines moves power from substations to you, the customer. Watch an animated video on how the grid works.
5. What is the distinction between grid reliability and resiliency? A more reliable grid is one with fewer and shorter power interruptions. A more resilient grid is one better prepared to recover from adverse events like severe weather.
4. Severe weather is the number one cause of power outages
in the United States, costing the economy between $18 and $33 billion every year in lost
output and wages, spoiled inventory, delayed production and damage to grid
3. One of the key solutions for a more resilient and
reliable grid is synchrophaser technology. These mailbox-size
devices monitor the health of the grid at frequencies not previously possible,
reporting data 30 times per second. This enhanced visibility into grid
conditions helps grid operators identify and respond to deteriorating or
abnormal conditions more quickly, reduce power outages and help with the
integration of more renewable sources of energy into the grid. To date, nearly
900 of these devices have deployed as a result of Recovery Act investments.
2. Microgrids, which are localized grids that are normally
connected to the more traditional electric grid but can disconnect to operate
autonomously, are another way in which the reliability and resiliency of the
grid can be improved. Microgrids use advanced smart grid technologies and the
integration of distributed energy resources such as backup generators, solar
panels and storage. Because they can operate independently of the grid
during outages, microgrids are typically used to provide reliable power during
extreme weather events. As part of the Obama Administration's
commitment to rebuild communities affected by Superstorm Sandy, the Department
is partnering with the State of New Jersey and
other organizations to examine the use of microgrids to help keep the power on
during future extreme weather events.
1. Since 2010, the Energy Department has invested more than $100
million to advance a resilient grid infrastructure that can survive a cyber
incident while sustaining critical functions. The Department's cybersecurity work involves
ongoing collaboration with a number of public and private partners including
the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, the National
Institute of Standards and Technology, the intelligence community, private
industry and energy-sector stakeholders.

Religious freedom commission names new headcomment (0)
January 2, 2003
WASHINGTON — A governmental agency charged with monitoring religious freedom conditions around the world has named a new head. The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom has named Joseph Crapa as executive director, replacing Steven McFarland, who left the group in April amid controversy.
Robert Seiple, the former U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom, recently lambasted the commission for what he said was its ineffectiveness and counterproductivity in encouraging religious freedom around the world. However, the commission's current chair, Felice Gaer, said Seiple's concerns were unfounded and pointed to several international improvements in religious freedom conditions and awareness.
Crapa was most recently chief of staff for U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and previously served as an assistant administrator at the U.S. Agency for International Aid, appointed by former President Bill Clinton.

Blue Ribbon won our devotion with a simple formula: Give people what they want, when they want it.
You know a place is good when guests — many of them chefs-are willing to endure a wait for a table in the wee hours. That's the kind of following Eric and Bruce Bromberg have built in the 18 years since they opened the first Blue Ribbon in New York's Soho neighborhood. The Brombergs started with a deceptively simple business plan: Serve consistently good food with a broad appeal, offer professional but friendly service, stay open really late. The formula was the essence of lessons they had ...

June 25, 1900 President George Q. Cannon of the First Presidency of the Church laid the cornerstone.
Jacob Spori was the first principal of the school that began in 1888 as Bannock Stake Academy and has now matured into Brigham Young University–Idaho. A teacher and an administrator, Principal Spori also performed janitorial work and traveled to discuss ways and means for children to attend. When the academy ran desperately short of funds in its third year, Spori asked for a vacation so he could earn money to pay the other two teachers' salaries. His rescue plan was approved. Years later, he was pleased to reflect on the fact that the academy continued without a break.
Born March 26, 1847, in the Swiss village of Oberwill, Jacob loved learning. He attended college in Bern, Switzerland, and graduated with degrees in mathematics, arts, and science. He was a linguist and was able to read thirteen languages, nine of which he could also speak.
In the late 1870s, Jacob accepted the restored gospel. He immediately faced persecution and was forced from his employment. His faith was undaunted. He is considered to be the pioneer of missionary work in Turkey and Syria. He translated several Church tracts into French and helped organize a company of Saints to journey to Zion.
He was asked to help establish an academy in southeastern Idaho. Following their trans-Atlantic voyage, Jacob and his family went directly to Rexburg. No housing was available, so they moved into a granary. Here the fifth of six Spori children was born.
Jacob served as principal of the academy for three years. He later moved to Bear Lake and served as principal of the Bear Lake Stake Academy. Jacob Spori died Sept. 27, 1903, at the age of 56.
"The seeds we are planting today will grow and become mighty oaks, and their branches will run all over the earth." – Jacob Spori
April 16, 1915 Large lighted "R" and "A" letters were affixed to the top of Ricks Academy building.
Fall 1941 A student union room was provided. Pledges of 50 cents per student paid for a phonograph and radio.
Summer 1945 The building was remodeled for administrative purposes as other buildings were constructed.
Summer 1956 Some of the space in the Spori was converted into a library.
Mid-1963 to early 1964 The library moved into a new facility enabling enhanced service of the Spori as the "Administration Building."
December 11, 1963 Elder Marion G. Romney of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles named the Administration Building in honor of Jacob Spori.
Summer of 1966 The bookstore was moved to the new Manwaring Center.
Summer 1976 Administrative offices moved to the east wing of the McKay Library. Spori space was utilized as classrooms and labs.
Summer 1980 The Spori was remodeled to accommodate academic needs. Radio and television facilities were added.
June 22, 1999 The Board of Trustees recommended a new building replace the Spori Building.
September 28, 2000 The announcement was made that the new building would retain the Jacob Spori name and features.
November 29, 2000 During scheduled demolition, an early morning fire engulfed the Spori Building.
May 29, 2001 Ground breaking for the Jacob Spori Building was led by Elder Henry B. Eyring, commissioner of education.
August 22, 2003 The dedication of new Jacob Spori Building was held with President Thomas S. Monson of the First Presidency presiding.

Teen suspect in shooting outside school to stay in custody
Updated 2:41 pm, Thursday, December 1, 2016
WEST JORDAN, Utah (AP) — A 14-year-old Utah boy charged with shooting another teen twice in the head in a fight outside a middle school in October will remain in custody as the criminal case against him proceeds, a judge ruled Thursday.
The boy's lawyer, Sophia Moore, asked for the defendant to be released, saying he is a young, first-time offender who is having problems in juvenile detention.
"We do believe this is a very severe case of bullying," she said of his experience in detention.
But Juvenile Judge Tupakk Renteria sided with prosecutors who said the unidentified suspect should remain detained, and ordered him kept in custody at least until his next court hearing set for Jan. 3.
The 16-year-old victim survived but is lucky to be alive, said Thaddeus May, a prosecutor with the Salt Lake County District Attorney's office.
"Obviously this is a very, very serious offense," May said. "But for the grace of God, we would have a dead child."
Prosecutors have said they want to move the case to adult court, where the defendant could face more serious penalties.
He is charged with attempted murder and weapons violations but not being identified because of his age.
The boys were feuding over a girl through texts and social media before the Oct. 25 fight near Union Middle School in Sandy, according to search warrants filed in the case.
Investigators said the younger boy was dating the 16-year-old's former girlfriend. The suspect used a gun he took from his mother's closet, police said.
The suspect sent several messages to the victim saying he wanted to fight, threatening to "smash his skull" and insulting the victim's dead parents, the search warrants said.
After firing the shots, the shooter fell to his knees and a teacher grabbed the gun out of his hand, prosecutors said in charging documents.
This story has been corrected to show the hearing was Thursday, not Wednesday.

Citizens of Alaska (a raise to $9.75) and South Dakota (a jump to $8.25) will vote on minimum wage increases this fall. Similar measures may also be on the ballot in Arkansas and Nebraska. However, signature-gathering to force a vote on the minimum wage issue in Idaho and Missouri failed. Similar efforts in Massachusetts ...
