Substituted for: House Bill No. 2779
By Raymond Walker, Wood
AN ACT To amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 56-26-109, relative to certain permissible policy provisions in accident and sickness insurance policies.
SECTION 1. Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 56-26-109, is amended by designating the existing paragraph (6) as (6)(A), and by adding the following language to paragraph (6) to be designated as subdivision (B):
(6)(B) Overinsurance: After the loss-of-time benefit of this policy has been payable for ninety (90) days, the benefit will be adjusted, as provided below, if the total amount of unadjusted loss-of-time benefits provided in all valid loss-of-time coverage upon the insured should exceed (insert amount) percent of the insured's earned income; provided, however, that if the information contained in the application discloses that the total amount of loss-of-time benefits under this policy and under all other valid loss-of-time coverage expected to be effective upon the insured in accordance with the application for this policy exceeded (insert amount) percent of the insured's earned income at the time of such application, the higher percentage will be used in place of (insert amount) percent. The adjusted loss-of-time benefit under this policy for any month shall be only such proportion of the loss-of-time benefit otherwise payable under this policy as (i) the product of the insured's earned income and (insert amount) percent (or, if higher, the alternative percentage described at the end of the first sentence of this provision) bears to (ii) the total amount of loss-of-time benefits payable for such month under this policy and all other valid loss-of-time coverage on the insured (without giving effect to the overinsurance provision in this or any other coverage) less in both (i) and (ii) any amount of loss-of-time benefits payable under other valid loss-of-time coverage which does not contain an overinsurance provision. In making the computation, all benefits and earnings shall be converted to a consistent [insert "weekly" if the loss-of-time benefit of this policy is payable weekly, "monthly" if the benefit is payable monthly, etc.] basis. If the numerator of the foregoing ratio is zero or is negative, no such benefit shall be payable under this policy. In no event shall this provision operate to reduce the total combined amount of loss-of-time benefits for such month payable under this policy, and all other valid loss-of-time coverage below the lesser of three hundred dollars ($300) or the total combined amount of loss-of-time benefits determined without giving effect to any overinsurance provision, or operate to increase the amount of benefits payable under this policy above the amount which would have been paid in the absence of this provision, or take into account or operate to reduce any benefit other than the loss-of-time benefit.
For purposes of this provision:
(a) "Earned income", except where otherwise specified, means the greater of the monthly earnings of the insured at the time disability commences and his average monthly earnings for a period of two (2) years immediately preceding the commencement of disability, and shall not include any investment income or any other income not derived from the insured's vocational activities.
(b) "Overinsurance provision" shall include this provision and any other provision with respect to any loss-of-time coverage which may have the effect of reducing an insurer's liability if the total amount of loss-of-time benefits under all coverage exceeds a stated relationship to the insured's earnings.
The above policy provision (6)(B) may be inserted only in a policy which provides a loss-of-time benefit which may be payable for at least fifty-two (52) weeks, which is issued on the basis of selective underwriting of each individual application, and for which the application includes a question designed to elicit information necessary either to determine the ratio of the total loss-of-time benefits of the insured to the insured's earned income or to determine that such ratio does not exceed the percentage of earnings, not less than sixty percent (60%) selected by the insurer and inserted in lieu of the blank factor above. The insurer may require, as part of the proof of claim, the information necessary to administer this provision. If the application indicates that other loss-of-time coverage is to be discontinued, the amount of such other coverage shall be excluded in computing the alternative percentage in the first sentence of the overinsurance provision. The policy shall include a definition of "valid loss-of-time coverage" approved as to form by the commissioner, which definition may include coverage provided by governmental agencies and by organizations subject to regulation by insurance law and by insurance authorities of this or any other state of the United States or of any other country or subdivision thereof, coverage provided for such insured pursuant to any disability benefits statute or any workmen's compensation or employer's liability statute, benefits provided by labor-management trusteed plans or union welfare plans or by salary continuance or pension programs, and any other coverage the inclusion of which may be approved by the commissioner.
If by application of any of the above policy provision (6)(B) the insurer effects a material reduction of benefits otherwise payable under the policy, the insurer shall refund, for the period two (2) years proceeding the disability for which a claim is made, any premium unearned on the policy by reason of such reduction of coverage, subject to the insurer's right to provide in the policy that no such reduction of benefits or refund will be made unless the unearned premium to be so refunded amounts to five dollars ($5.00) or such larger sum as the insurer may so specify.
SECTION 2. This act shall take effect July 1, 1998, the public welfare requiring it.
PASSED: March 26, 1998
APPROVED this 8th day of April 1998

Uncommonly Big Tits & Tight Pussy Examined at Office of Dr. Ocean
Nick is a paraplegic with a big secret. The secret is that he's only pretending to be paralyzed so he can reap the benefit of having sexilicious Dr. Aletta Ocean taking care of him around the clock. Indeed, everything was going pretty well for our perverted friend until one day, during a physical exam, an erection gave him away. Lucky for him, his horny doctor was more aroused than angry, and gave his big cock her patented Pussy Treatment.

All War Is Costly—Do You Know Which Is the Most Expensive?
WIth President Bush signing the $162 billion war funding bill yesterday combined with the news that the US spends $720 million a day in Iraq, it seems like this war has to be the spendiest ever by a long way.
Well, not yet it's not, and it's got a long way to go before it eclipses the most expensive war the US has ever waged. The brilliant Libertarian-pegged mag Reason (which I just picked up and cannot put down) has the cost of every major US conflict, translated to modern dollars. Think you know how much of the treasury we blew through in the Civil War? Which was more expensive, the Korean War or Vietnam? The answers are fascinating, go test your mettle.
All War Is Costly—Do You Know Which Is the Most Expensive?
Which war was the least expensive?

Kelly Rowland Is No Heidi Klum
We are all going through major "Project Runway" withdrawal now that the show has been moved to Lifetime. Every episode of the thrown-together Bravo knock-off "The Fashion Show" is equivalent to a so-so episode of "Runway," but the real nostalgia comes from the longing for "Runway"'s host Heidi Klum. Here are the top four reasons why Kelly Rowland is no Heidi Klum.
- Lame catch phrases: Heidi's signature "auf wiedersehen" defies pronunciation and stupefies spell check, but it is short, snappy and to the point. Kelly's "you're still in the competition, but you're hanging by a thread" is cringe-worthy bad. And the worst part is you know Ms. Thing didn't even come up with that gem herself.
- Personal style: "Project Runway" was all about the designers and their creations, but Heidi always looked fierce. Of course, it is easy to look pretty when you're a supermodel, but each season Heidi donned a dramatic new look not for the fashion faint of heart. She fearlessly rocked heavy bangs and pregnancy. One episode might see her in a sequined mini and skinny jeans and a tee shirt. Kelly's style on the show has been meh. She hasn't made a fashion faux pas, but she hasn't really made a splash either. The stylists pick out safe hairdos, blah makeup and pizazz-less dresses. For a show about fashion, shouldn't she be on the cutting edge, or even the chopping block?
- Experience: The only fashion experience Heidi and Kelly have in common is that they both wear clothes. Heidi, however, gets paid $16 million a year, graces magazine covers, and has worked the catwalk for over a decade. Kelly, "fashion icon" that she is, claims she is fit her role on "The Fashion Show" since, "I buy clothes, I'm a consumer, I love fashion, I know what looks good on. I have a pretty good eye…I can understand them wanting to put me in this show." Thanks Kelly, glad to know at least this makes sense to someone.
- Etiquette: Kelly probably is a very nice girl, but why is she always talking about the designers behind their backs? Didn't her mother ever tell her it is not polite to gossip? At least "Gossip Girl" is anonymous. Heidi was frank, often brutally so, during runway judging, but when she was out of the judges chair, she kept her glossy lips shut. Kelly critiques the clothes during the creative process and then tells the camera what she thinks. Nice girls don't judge prematurely and tell thousands of TV viewers.

Here's a stomach turning post for a nice Friday morning. The last couple of mornings, I've seen ads for a new gadget called "No No Skin", made by No No, the good people who brought you the No No hair removal system. It seems they are now hawking a device that gets rid of pimples. The ad has an annoying slogan that goes "Hit the zit!", then shows someone putting the device on the pimple. The gadget beeps twice, flashes a light, and then supposedly helps you get rid of your acne.
One thing I think is funny about this, besides the annoying slogan, is the fact that it's touted as being portable. So I guess that means you can take it on vacation with you if you want to... But they show someone stowing it in her purse. I wonder if she pulls it out in traffic jams and uses it to clear up her skin while sitting in the car? I would imagine doing that would be slightly more socially acceptable than picking her nose.
I also wonder what this thing actually does. Check out the No No Skin Web site, and you see a disgusting photo of a chin with a big whitehead on it that looks like it's going to burst. The next photo shows the skin looking only slightly red. I guess it doesn't look like someone just squeezed the shit out of it. You can use this thing on your face, neck, chest and yes, even your butt.
I used to get zits a lot back in the day. Nowadays, I only get them once in awhile, usually around the time I'm going to have my period. I guess that's one good thing about being 40. Of course, since menopause is probably just around the corner, I'll probably have wrinkles soon. My mom is 74, though, and still has remarkably smooth skin. Maybe I'll get lucky.
I'm almost tempted to buy one of these and review it, just because it's gross. But I don't get a lot of zits anymore, so it's probably not worth it. I posted about this on Facebook yesterday and more than one person remarked about how gross this is, even if it does just use heat and light.

- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 sweet potatoes (4 1/2 pounds), peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick
- 6 large Granny Smith apples (3 pounds)peeled, halved, cored, and sliced 1/4-inch thick
- 2 cups pure maple syrup
- 1 1/2 cups apple cider
- 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease 2 very large, shallow baking dishes using 2 tablespoons of the butter. Alternating the sweet potato and apple slices, arrange the slices in the baking dishes in a single layer of concentric circles.
In a medium saucepan, combine the maple syrup, cider, butter, and salt. Simmer over moderate heat for 5 minutes. Pour half of the mixture over the slices in each of the baking dishes and cover the dishes securely with foil.
Bake in the center of the oven for 40 minutes, or until the apples release their liquid. Remove the dishes from the oven, uncover and baste the apples and sweet potatoes with the pan juices. Increase the oven temperature to 450° and place the dishes in the upper third of the oven. Continue baking for about 35 minutes longer, basting a few more times, until the sweet potatoes are tender and nicely glazed. Serve hot.

La Cigale was first exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1872. One of Jules Lefebvre's classic female nudes, the painting was presented as an allegorical illustration of a famous fable by Jean de La Fontaine (1621–1695), 'The Ant and the Grasshopper'. In La Fontaine's tale, the grasshopper spends the summer singing and playing while making fun of the industrious ant, who lays up stores and prepares his house for the winter. When the first frosty winds of winter blow in, the grasshopper is caught unawares and homeless. La Cigale was painted three years before the artist's famous Chloé (Young and Jackson's Hotel, Melbourne), which won for Jules Lefebvre a medal of honour at the Paris Salon of 1875.

TAMPA — Just how many flights to foreign cities Tampa International Airport could land may depend on what local businesses are willing to do to lure carriers.
On Thursday, the Hillsborough County Aviation Authority, which governs TIA, discussed a strategy of getting more international flights for an airport that ranks 21st in the nation for them.
The airport's executive director, Louis Miller, said he will ask groups like the Tampa Bay Partnership to survey companies about international travel and what they might be willing to do to attract options.
Miller is doing this at the prodding of Steve Burton, a Tampa lawyer appointed to the authority by Gov. Charlie Crist last year. Last month, things got heated when Burton complained at an authority meeting that TIA wasn't doing enough to attract international air travel. Board members Ken Hagan, a Hillsborough County commissioner, and Joseph Diaco, a physician, joined Burton in voting for a committee that would aim to attract flights to more international locales.
For board member Pam Iorio, the mayor of Tampa, Burton's move was a discourteous end-run around Miller. "Disrespectful," Iorio said of Burton's plan.
But on Thursday, Burton was congratulated for sharpening the focus on the issue.
"I commend you for bringing this to the board," chairman Al Austin told Burton.
A consultant, Joel Antolini, told the board that there was room for improvement in attracting more international flights. But not much, he added.
The problem, Antolini said, is that in a bad economy, it's hard to persuade carriers to come to an airport with an unproven track record in filling intercontinental planes.
Even though Tampa Bay has more residents than Orlando, it doesn't have the theme parks that make Orlando's airport rank so highly in international flights.
Of Tampa's 1,800 passengers a day, about 224 are headed to foreign destinations. That's a meager total to support much of anything.
The problem is the cost of flying. About 35 passengers a day are headed for Paris from TIA, via connecting flights, Antolini said.
That's far short of the 219 that are needed to fill a flight. A carrier would lose money each time it flies without the number of passengers to earn a profit.
But there are other destinations that could be more viable, Antolini said. Latin America lures quite a bit more traffic, and in some cases, TIA may be underserved.
Still, it would be nice if companies that might benefit from more direct flights to foreign cities could chip in to subsidize flights that might not otherwise be profitable.
He said companies in Portland, Ore., contributed $5 million in subsidies to encourage more international flights.
Miller said he will survey companies to see what they might contribute, but board members didn't have high expectations.
"It would be a surprise if we could get businesses to contribute, in this environment," Iorio said.
Still, Burton said he was encouraged by the direction the board took in thinking of new ways to spur more flights.
"Costa Rica, San Juan, it's really exciting that we could end up with direct flights there," he said. "Now we're really diving into this."

With the completion of Dryosaurus, we must pack him up and say our good-byes for now. He will be heading to Phil Fraley's studio in New Jersey for some rest and relaxation and will return to us a new dinosaur - mounted and ready for action. He will be missed and we will eagerly await his return, but in the meantime we are reassured that he is in excellent hands. Good job team and congratulations on another success!

It took us a month, but we did it! We casted and molded every single skeletal element of Dryosaurus. in time to meet our deadline. Norm, Allen, Dan, and I did little else than lay up fossils in clay, mix up silicone, and pour the casting material, day after day, week after week. Over 100 molds total and many more casts! Good job, guys!

I am restoring the Dryosaurus skeleton. This involves filling
the cracks and resculpting the broken or missing parts. I use
a two part epoxy puttty which can be worked for about an hour
and then it sets hard. After this it can also be carved and
sanded. If a particular bone is missing hopefully I have the
opposite- side bone. I can then model a mirror image replica
to represent the missing bone. Here are some photos showing
different bones from Dryosaurus in the restoration process.

I have finished preparing Dryosaurus. Dan will continue to
restore various elements for Dryosaurus along with sculpting
missing elements. Norm will continue to mold and cast all the
elements as Dan finishes sculpting or restoring them. There
is still much left to do with the Dryosaurus skeleton but now
that prepartion of Dryosaurus is complete, my priority has
shifted to preparing Corythosaurus.

The hand of Dryosaurus is known from only a few specimens
with no specimen containing a complete hand. Our specimen may
have the most complete hand for Dryosaurus. We knew that the
right hand of Dryosaurus in our wall mount contained fossil
material but until it was prepared it was almost impossible
to tell what was fossil and what was cast.
Can you tell which of these many elements from the hand
are fossil and which are cast?

Norm has already begun molding the elements that do not need
any work done on them. Dan continues to sculpt mirror images
of elements we need from the opposite side of the body. I am
nearing the end of the preparation of the Dryosaurus material
and will begin to help either Dan or Norm.
Here are a few images of Norm's progress so far.

Preparation continues on both our collection material and
on material loaned to us from other institutions. I have prepared
all the vertebrae from our specimen and the specimens from
the Yale Peabody Museum and laid out the entire vertebral column.
Neck and back vertebrae.
Pelvic and tail vertebrae.
The dorsal (back) vertebrae were a bit tricky to prepare because
of the numerous ossified tendons running along the bases of
each neural spine almost like spaghetti was stretched across
the vertebrae.

several problems have surfaced. The rock surrounding several
of the tail vertebrae is harder than the bone encased within
it. The bone forms thin and delicate processes that I don't
think will survive the removing of the rock around them.
We have decided to expose as much of one side as we can then
mold and cast the vertebrae with the rock still attached.
We will then take the cast and remove the cast rock from around
the cast vertebrae and sculpt the processes that are missing.
Once the cast vertebrae are sculpted like the real vertebrae,
we will make another mold and cast of the finished vertebrae.
This process of double molding and casting is time consuming
but it will preserve the integrity of the fossil.
Tail vertebrae from the Yale Peabody Museum after partial
Same tail vertebrae from the other side.
Another problem that has come along is the fact that the YPM
fossil material was collected so long ago that the glues and
plaster holding the material together is starting to fail.
This makes handling and molding the material extremely difficult.
The Yale Peabody Museum (YPM) prefers to use reversible glues
and materials to consolidate their fossil material. Although
this allows changes to be made to the fossils if something
is glued wrong or covered up, it also makes the material more
fragile. The CMNH also prefers using reversible adhesives and
consolidants unless the fossil is to be exhibited for a long
period of time. Because the fossil material will be mounted
for decades and will undergo all manner of daily wear and tear,
it will need to be glued and consolidated with materials that
are very durable but not as reversible.
posted by Allen Shaw
A series of thirty tail vertebrae from the YPM will be used
in our mount. At least half of these still need to be partially
prepared. A number of limb elements will require a mirror image
sculpture to be made. For example-we have the right humerus
(upper arm bone) but not the left humerus. Using the right
humerus, an exact mirror image will be sculpted for the left
side. Dan Pickering, our sculptor, will explain this technique

still require rock to be removed before molding or casting

Now that we have received the material from the other institutions,
the real project begins. In agreement with the YPM for loaning
us their Dryosaurus material, we will make molds of all the
material (fossil and sculpted) to render a cast of Dryosaurus that the YPM can exhibit in their museum. This will require
us to do much more than we had previously anticipated. Normally
we would only make casts of the Dryosaurus fossil material
from other institutions. Now we have to mold and cast everything
(every Dryosaurus skeletal element-from the head to the tip
of the tail).

We were able to supplement our Dryosaurus fossil material
with fossil material from the Yale Peabody Museum (YPM) and
the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) to make a composite Dryosaurus skeleton that is 75% complete. Together the Carnegie
Museum of Natural History (CMNH) along with the American Museum
of Natural History and Yale Peabody Museum has almost all of
the Dryosaurus altus fossil material in existence. To complete
our Dryosaurus mount, we will have to sculpt or fabricate the
remaining 25% that is still missing. The easiest way to do
this is to find the elements we are still missing from other
dinosaurs closely-related to Dryosaurus and scale the material
appropriately to fit our Dryosaurus mount.
Here you can see a skeletal representation of Dryosaurus with
all the fossil skeletal elements from CMNH, YPM and AMNH highlighted.
The missing elements are left white and will have to be sculpted
or acquired from other dinosaurs closely-related to Dryosaurus.

After removing all the Dryosaurus fossil material from the
wall mount, we began taking inventory of all our Dryosaurus fossil material from our collections and the material removed
from the mount. In total, our Dryosaurus fossil material constitutes
about 35-40% of an entire skeleton. This means that we will
have to borrow Dryosaurus fossil material from other institutions
in order to make our Dryosaurus mount complete.

inaccurately shaped or scaled. All of these problems will be
remedied for the new free-standing mount of Dryosaurus to be
exhibited in the renovated Carnegie Museum Dinosaur Hall.

Okay, years ago a friend of a friend of a guy told me about a tape supposedly showing Chuck Berry eating doo-doo out of a girl's butt. I know he got busted for video-taping women going to the bathroom but I've never heard first hand accounts of his scat adventures.
Anyone seen this?
If this is old news I apologize. I do remember either Shocking Videos or Blackest Heart selling a video of Berry peeing and farting on a chick. Is this the same video?

But isn't wonder in itself a scientific phenomenon?
Well, one can say that everything is a scientific phenomenon, in the sense that everything, from diffraction of light to our perception of it to our reflection upon it, involves processes studied by science. But most would say that the qualia of wonder are not the same thing as what science studies, and it is at best unclear whether that is something that science can study.
Good comic. The lead character dude reminds me of an older Calvin.

People have been wondering what it's like going in to bat for England at No6 after I've spent the whole winter at No3. Well, it feels pretty good after scoring a hundred at Lord's. I was never worried I was going to be left out of the side after what I've done over the last 12 months but I spoke to Peter Moores the night before the game and he told me I'd be going in at six and would probably stay there for most of the summer because Michael Vaughan wants to bat at No3.
I told Mooresy I'd bat anywhere but I also said my long-term ambition was to bat at first drop. He didn't mind that. In fact he encourages that kind of relationship, one where you can be up front and constantly challenge yourself. It sounds funny given that I'm averaging 90-something at No6 but that record leaves me with mixed feelings, because part of me wants to get up the order where I can set games up and control them. What batsman doesn't?
The two positions require different approaches. At No3 you generally have to put your pads on straight away and get ready to bat but at No6 you have time to take a shower and switch off. You also have to be very patient. There can be a lot of runs scored before you go in, as there were in this game, and it can be just as tough mentally as going in early if you have to sit around for ages.
The crucial thing is to find ways to relax and not watching every single delivery is a good way to start. You don't want to waste your energy before going out there. I try to relax by reading the paper or using the dressing-room computers. You can call up any innings you've played in the last 12 months and pick the ones where you scored runs. It's a nice way of building up confidence. I also had a net on Thursday evening. We were three down overnight and I wanted to prepare for the next day as if I was going in at No3, which effectively I was.
Batting with Matt Prior was great fun. I've played with him at Under-14 level - we're both 25 - all the way up to international level. At first I thought it was a matter of helping him settle but it soon became clear he didn't need much help, even though you were never quite in on that wicket. He's a positive character and the way he's batted has set the benchmark. Australia have Adam Gilchrist at No7 and it's very handy for England to have someone like Matty there too.
He knows Mooresy from their time together at Sussex and he's been on tour with us before, so it's not the first time he's been in the dressing room. He's probably not quite as noisy as Paul Nixon but he geed us up and Lord's is not an easy place to keep wicket with the ball wobbling about. I thought he did brilliantly.
It's a fresh England team and dressing room and it's going to take time for everyone to bed in. It's not easy yet to pinpoint differences between Mooresy and Duncan but the main thing about Mooresy is he's all for the moment. If something bad has happened in the past, he likes to move on. That's what we talked about during the game.
As for the result, there isn't too much disappointment in the team because the rain spoiled it in the end. Five of us got hundreds and Monty got a six-for, so there's no need to worry. We've just got to keep standards high and seize the moment later in the series. It was a bit of a disappointment they managed to recover from 180-odd for five but the wickets at Lord's have flattened out in recent times and it's hard work bowling a team out twice. West Indies showed they're not just going to roll over and die. It sets up the series fantastically well.
And don't worry about Steve Harmison. Yes, there were moments when it didn't come out as he would have wanted it to, but there were some great deliveries too and I'm confident we'll see a top-flight Test performance from him soon.
And a quick word about Owais Shah. I've been in his position before. You're basically told it's a one-off game and that's never easy. We all know Ace is a class player and he's still got a big future for England.

Cape Cod MA (SPX) Jul 16, 2013
At the end of the last Ice Age, as the world began to warm, a swath of the North Pacific Ocean came to life. During a brief pulse of biological productivity 14,000 years ago, this stretch of the sea teemed with phytoplankton, amoeba-like foraminifera and other tiny creatures, who thrived in large numbers until the productivity ended-as mysteriously as it began-just a few hundred years later.
Researchers have hypothesized that iron sparked this surge of ocean life, but a new study led by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) scientists and colleagues at the University of Bristol (UK), the University of Bergen (Norway), Williams College and the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University suggests iron may not have played an important role after all, at least in some settings.
The study, published in the journal Nature Geoscience, determines that a different mechanism-a transient "perfect storm" of nutrients and light-spurred life in the post-Ice Age Pacific. Its findings resolve conflicting ideas about the relationship between iron and biological productivity during this time period in the North Pacific-with potential implications for geo-engineering efforts to curb climate change by seeding the ocean with iron.
"A lot of people have put a lot of faith into iron-and, in fact, as a modern ocean chemist, I've built my career on the importance of iron-but it may not always have been as important as we think," says WHOI Associate Scientist Phoebe Lam, a co-author of the study.
Because iron is known to cause blooms of biological activity in today's North Pacific Ocean, researchers have assumed it played a key role in the past as well. They have hypothesized that as Ice Age glaciers began to melt and sea levels rose, they submerged the surrounding continental shelf, washing iron into the rising sea and setting off a burst of life.
Past studies using sediment cores-long cylinders drilled into the ocean floor that offer scientists a look back through time at what has accumulated there-have repeatedly found evidence of this burst, in the form of a layer of increased opal and calcium carbonate, the materials that made up phytoplankton and foraminifera shells. But no one had searched the fossil record specifically for signs that iron from the continental shelf played a part in the bloom.
Lam and an international team of colleagues revisited the sediment core data to directly test this hypothesis. They sampled GGC-37, a core taken from a site near Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, about every 5 centimeters, moving back through time to before the biological bloom began.
Then they analyzed the chemical composition of their samples, measuring the relative abundance of the isotopes of the elements neodymium and strontium in the sample, which indicates which variant of iron was present.
The isotope abundance ratios were a particularly important clue, because they could reveal where the iron came from-one variant pointed to iron from the ancient Loess Plateau of northern China, a frequent source of iron-rich dust in the northwest Pacific, while another suggested the younger, more volcanic continental shelf was the iron source.
What the researchers found surprised them.
"We saw the flux of iron was really high during glacial times, and that it dropped during deglaciation," Lam says. "We didn't see any evidence of a pulse of iron right before this productivity peak."
The iron the researchers did find during glacial times appeared to be supplemented by a third source, possibly in the Bering Sea area, but it didn't have a significant effect on the productivity peak. Instead, the data suggest that iron levels were declining when the peak began.
Based on the sediment record, the researchers propose a different cause for the peak: a chain of events that created ideal conditions for sea life to briefly flourish. The changing climate triggered deep mixing in the North Pacific ocean, which stirred nutrients that the tiny plankton depend on up into the sea's surface layers, but in doing so also mixed the plankton into deep, dark waters, where light for photosynthesis was too scarce for them to thrive.
Then a pulse of freshwater from melting glaciers-evidenced by a change in the amount of a certain oxygen isotope in the foraminifera shells found in the core-stopped the mixing, trapping the phytoplankton and other small creatures in a thin, bright, nutrient-rich top layer of ocean. With greater exposure to light and nutrients, and iron levels that were still relatively high, the creatures flourished.
"We think that ultimately this is what caused the productivity peak-that all these things happened all at once," Lam says. "And it was a transient thing, because the iron continued to drop and eventually the nutrients ran out."
The study's findings disprove that iron caused this ancient bloom, but they also raise questions about a very modern idea. Some scientists have proposed seeding the world's oceans with iron to trigger phytoplankton blooms that could trap some of the atmosphere's carbon dioxide and help stall climate change.
This idea, sometimes referred to as the "Iron Hypothesis," has met with considerable controversy, but scientific evidence of its potential effectiveness to sequester carbon and its impact on ocean life has been mixed.
"This study shows how there are multiple controls on ocean phytoplankton blooms, not just iron," says Ken Buesseler, a WHOI marine chemist who led a workshop in 2007 to discuss modern iron fertilization. "Certainly before we think about adding iron to the ocean to sequester carbon as a geoengineering tool, we should encourage studies like this of natural systems where the conditions of adding iron, or not, on longer and larger time scales have already been done for us and we can study the consequences."

Pregnant women are being urged to get vaccinated to protect both themselves and their unborn babies as this year's flu season gets underway.
Latest NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly figures show that fewer expectant mums have so far come forward than at the same point last year - currently 20 per cent have been vaccinated compared with 22 percent at this stage of the vaccination programme last year.
James Bolt, public health specialist from NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly, said: "We fully appreciate that some women may have concerns about having the flu vaccine during pregnancy but the vaccine is safe for both mother and baby and can be given at any stage during pregnancy - the sooner the better.
"Pregnant women are more prone to complications from flu, which can cause very serious illness for both the mother and her baby.
"We also know that the H1N1 virus - known as swine flu - seems to particularly affect pregnant women, more so than other strains of flu.
"For all these reasons, pregnant women should have the flu vaccination at any stage of their pregnancy. Having the vaccination when pregnant also helps protect their baby from flu over the first few months of life."
Take up rates in the over 65s - all of whom are eligible for the vaccination by the NHS - are encouragingly up on last year at 57 percent, compared with 48 percent at the same point in 2010.
Patients under 65 who are at risk of developing complications from flu because of other conditions, are also coming forward in increased numbers - 36 percent compared with 28.5 percent previously - but take up overall remains lower than health experts would like.
James added: "The vaccine protects against the three most common forms of flu in circulation this year, including swine flu.
"But time is running out - we probably have about three weeks left until flu activity increases, as we saw last year, and you need to allow time for antibodies to develop and provide immunity, so we need people to get booked in as soon as possible to minimise the risks for them.
"These flu viruses kill around 600 people in the UK every year. A single trip to the doctor can protect our most vulnerable people against them."
More information about flu, the symptoms, the risks and the vaccination is available on the NHS Choices website at www.nhs.uk

As our friends at Luxury Travel Advisor report, something big is afoot at the upcoming Banyan Tree Kerala. Set to open on the 1st of December this year, the hotel is redefining what to expect of a secluded resort. In a scene that I imagine belonging more in the Lord of the Rings than anywhere in real life, arrival to the Banyan Tree Kerala will be heralded by your approach. An approach in a boat, sailed through the tranquil waters and right into the hotel lobby, thus giving them the best boat-to-lobby distance ration (BTL) of any hotel in the world. We all have to be great at something, right? Seriously, it's such a novel concept for a resort brand that prides itself on its exclusivity, and I'm a huge fan of non-traditional lobbies. And what could be more non-traditional than the potent lobby-harbor combination? As their PR Rep told me, "I heard you like boats, so I put a boat in your lobby, so you can check-in while you boat."*
This is certainly a hotel property to be on the lookout for. Banyan Tree always seems to deliver on their particular brand of luxury, and they're clearly looking to innovate on their already successful concept. While you're waiting for the Banyan Tree Kerala to open, check out our other Banyan Tree resorts.

I made the decision for XFS 1.0 to enable devfs by default knowing very well that many apps would have issues. But given that none of the distributions are working to clean up apps to be devfs friendly this seemed like a good test bed to smoke out some of the problems. In retrospect it was a bit of a headache to deal with since every devfs question came our way rather than to the devfs lists. What is apparent at this time, most people do not have large disk farms and as such can work quite comfortably in the current but horribly broken device naming scheme. The current plan (and I think Eric already did this) is to enable devfs but not have it mount on /dev by default. This will allow for mounting either on /dev or some other mount point such as /devfs but only as an option. Hopefully one of the big distros will bit the bullet and start fixing the apps that are not devfs friendly. -- Russell Cattelan cattelan@xxxxxxxxxxx

Androgyny chic is predicted as a big fashion trend for next fall, but Cinthya Chalifoux has been following men's wear tailoring for years.
The Montreal fashion designer, a native of Sorel-Tracy, Que., has consistently applied tailoring techniques associated with men's clothing to the women's apparel she makes and sells under her own CIN Tailleurs label, launched in her adopted city in 2009.
Calling herself a tailor inspired by haute-couture fashion, Chalifoux creates meticulously crafted pieces cut from her own patterns and made from the finest materials: silk, cashmere, cotton and wool. Each garment takes 30 hours, on average, to make and is based on precise measurements of the wearer's body to ensure an exact fit.
A typical collection runs the gamut of equestrian-style jackets to sharply cut blouses and floor-length gowns, whose slim-fitted silhouettes derive from the Savile Row tradition of made-to-measure men's wear.
"After learning the craftsmanship behind men's tailoring, I was inspired to want to use that skill by transferring it to couture dressing for women," says the 28-year-old designer, who learned to sew at the hands of her grandmothers before studying pattern development and tailoring at L'École des métiers des Faubourgs-de-Montréal, starting at 18.
"Couture evening gowns have been an obsession of mine from a very young age; I always wanted to dress women," says the francophone, who runs her business with fellow designer Maria Karimi.
Silkscreen prints, hand-loomed weaves and jewellery pieces produced by teams of Montreal artisans heighten the status of each garment as one-of-a-kind.
The objective is not to dress women like men, but to allow them the option of high-quality, custom-designed clothing created for the urban woman of today.
"The woman who works for a living in a suit doesn't want to look like a man," Chalifoux emphasizes. "She wants a sophisticated look that can carry her from her day job through to the evening."
Other women obviously agree with her. Demand for her designs is growing. Last September, she opened her first retail store, CIN Tailleurs, on Saint Denis Street in Montreal, where she caters to women for whom well-tailored garments are always in fashion. Among her latest clients? Men.
"I started by designing women's wear, but now men are asking me to cut for them," she says. "It only makes sense to design for them as well. To us it definitely is a culture, a way of buying and wearing unique, one-of-a-kind pieces."Report Typo/Error

Learn More About Diagnostic Radiology
Our Baylor Diagnostic Imaging Center at Craig Ranch was the first in Texas and one of the first in the world to offer dual-head Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI), an exam that can help find breast tumors smaller than 1 centimeter that might be missed with other screening tools.
Here's how it works:
MBI is not meant to replace mammography. In fact, mammography is still the gold standard for detecting breast cancer. However, MBI may offer an advantage over mammography for women at high risk of cancer or women with dense breasts. Tumors and dense breast tissue both show up white on mammogram results, so MBI can identify tumors that might not otherwise be visible.
The high quality images of MBI can also be compared to mammograms results, making it easier for your radiologist to get a clearer picture of your breast health. To find out if you are a candidate for MBI, talk to your physician.
