The new frontier of mobile and social is a game changer, opening new channels in which consumers and brands can interact. This whitepaper details the results of a survey spanning consumers in the US, UK, Singapore and Australia, exploring their expectations of using mobile devices and social media to engage with brands. The results confirm that consumers live across various channels, and as part of their experience there is an expectation of consistency, value and individualised attention.

Following the Big Data explosion, organizations are left grappling with how best to retain, access, discover and ultimately delete content in compliance with evolving regulations. Legal teams are now tasked with making accommodations for Big Data in the already expensive eDiscovery process. All this data can be a huge asset, but without a modern management strategy, it can also be a huge liability. This white paper demonstrates why an holistic approach to information management means big benefits in cost reduction and risk management for legal and compliance teams. Download whitepaper »
Many firms are acutely aware of the risks associated with lost or unrecoverable data on employee devices, including desktops, laptops and mobile devices. Companies simply cannot overlook the consequences of public exposure that would likely result if sensitive data is lost, stolen, compromised or cannot be located. This white paper explores the challenges associated with safeguarding data and opening up universal access for distributed desktop and laptop systems residing at the edge of an organization's IT infrastructure.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Chronicle - Joseph Henry -
I'm honestly ashamed to say I'm a duke student. I'm lost grad, and I was stunned to hear this
Hurtful and wildly inappropriate chant. I was @ the game, I heard the chant. Amazing what will be spun as being "appropriate" after they royally screw up. I was at the game, section 19, row 3, and the crowd was not only chanting, but also spreading the word, to chant 'how's your grandmother'. Not 1, 2 ,3, but 4 separate people specifically told me his grandmother died as the reason for the chant.
Classless students who are "mightier than thou" have ruined any good the CC wee did.
NewsObserver - Some Duke fans taunted N.C. State freshman Tyler Lewis about his late grandmother in Thursday's game, Lewis' father said Friday. Lewis went to the foul line at 13:47 in the second half of Thursday's loss at Duke. Most fans in the Duke student section chanted, "Past your bed time," a playful jab at Lewis' youthful appearance. Other Duke fans, according to Rick Lewis, chanted "How's your grandma?" Margie Lewis, Rick's mom and Tyler's grandmother, passed away on Feb. 1. Rick Lewis was at Thursday's game, sitting behind N.C. State's bench.
"It was mostly 'Past your bedtime,' but there was an instant when a brief number of students chanted about Tyler's grandmother," Rick Lewis said Friday. "It wasn't the entire student section, I think a few tried to outdo themselves." Lewis' dad said he would rather the focus be on his son's play the past two games, with N.C. State missing injured point guard Lorenzo Brown, rather than the misbehavior of a few fans.
Cameron Crazies doing it big! The most respectful, passionate, high class fans in all of college hoops continuing to represent themselves better than anyone else. Just shitting on recently deceased grandparents, all in good sport. And I'll be honest I thought they were just chanting "past your bedtime" when I watched the game. Then I saw every reporter at the game, every NC State player, and Duke students and alumni in the stands all saying they were spreading a grandma chant so I guess that's what happened. I'm sure the comment section will turn into a nice little friendly debate between the Dukies and everyone else.
Anyway can we check in with Michelle Picon and see what she has to say? Let's just pull up some of her comments from her article about how much better Duke fans are than anybody else:
Needless to say, such spiteful actions would never be used against any graduate students at Duke (or any other self-respecting university), regardless of their previous educational or athletic allegiance.
Unfortunately, the immaturity and spite exhibited by the administration and the mascot was only amplified among the student body. About 1,300 students were in attendance, and I'm sure 1,200 of them had never watched a Miami basketball game in their entire undergraduate careers. Uninspired expletives, homophobic slurs and limp references to genitalia were the only "cheers" I heard from Miami students the entire game. They did not cease during the national anthem, nor during a moment of silence for a deceased member of their own coaching staff. Pause for a second and imagine that scene in Cameron.
That's OK—we couldn't either.
But what followed was even harder to imagine: During the game, the majority of the students standing near us would physically turn their backs on their own team in order to comment on the size of our penises. Meanwhile, Miami played the game of their lives unobserved. I leave it up to you to infer what these students are really passionate about.
Hint: It's not basketball.
I walked away from that game ashamed and embarrassed to be even remotely associated with the Miami undergraduates. Although Duke played the worst game I have ever seen, I am still proud to call myself a Blue Devil. This experience only served to deepen my appreciation and respect for Cameron Crazies, an exemplary group of boisterous, witty and dedicated supporters—the sixth man, a true fan indeed.
Just so we're clear. Heckling fans who show up in your student section wearing Duke jerseys for a huge game = shameful and embarrassing. Making fun of a kid's dead grandmother while he shoots free throws = boisterous, witty, and dedicated. A true sixth man indeed.

With the optimized textures it is possible to have fanart with 1080i, but its not 100% stable. Watching a movie and returning to the showcase view results in not showing any fanart, probably because of full memory. If you return to the main menu and then reenter the movies section, it works.

Comments about Mossy Oak Original Buff:
Wear it when I walk the dogs, or out hunting. On those 30 degree days with a slight breeze it really helps to keep the chill off. So lightweight I forget it's there. Bought some for my sons after they saw mine and they've been using them whenever they go outside on those cool days. Bought some extras just to have in the truck.

An hour or so after he was sworn in as Washingtons 23rd governor, Democrat Jay Inslee is delivering his inaugural address in the state House chambers today. Anyone hoping he would flesh out his campaign talking points which critics thought were a bit vague may be disappointed. The speech based on the draft comments is a bit light on specifics, too.
But Inslee, a Democrat with an eye to putting Washington ahead of other states on green jobs and responding to climate change, revisited those themes in his address, which also touch on school funding, the economy and other themes. He also spoke of bringing "innovation" to the culture of Olympia.

Two Children: Heather, 23, is a teacher and Joseph, 20, is in the Army
After Jody Houston's children graduated high school, Houston was looking for something to fill her free time. A friend mentioned scuba diving. Houston, who has been an avid water sportswoman all her life, decided to give it a shot. Here, Houston, director of foodservice for 38,500-student Corpus Christi (Texas) Independent School District, recalls the beauty—and the fear—of scuba diving.
"Susan, a good friend of mine, and I were eating dinner and we were talking about what we were going to do now that our children were graduated from high school because she and I both spent a lot of time following them around. She said, 'My brother goes scuba diving and he's always wanted me to do it,' and I said that sounds kind of interesting. So we took lessons. We got our open-water certification in Lake Travis in Austin.
There is some bookwork, class work and testing to get certified. When we did our open-water certification, we went down about 30 feet. We got hotdogs and fed some catfish. One of the catfish bit my thumb; it was about half the size of me, but it was still fun. When you are down there you have to take off your gear and then put it back on to make sure that you can do that if you need to. You take off your mask and your air supply to demonstrate that you aren't going to freak out.
During my open-water certification, I got lost. I was with my friend and we started going down further and she had a problem with her mask, so the master diver told me to go ahead and he'd be right back. So I went down and sat on the bottom for quite a while. It was probably 10 minutes, but it sure seemed longer. I kept looking at all my gauges and saying, 'OK, I know what I'm doing and I know how to get out of this if I need to.' I thought I was sitting [still], but apparently I was going with the current. The diver went up to the surface and saw everybody there and said, 'I've lost Jody.' So a few minutes later, he came down and he found me.
He was then going to show me a sunken ship and he signaled for me to keep my buoyancy, which I obviously hadn't learned at that point. I put too much air in my buoyancy compensator and the next thing I knew, I'd popped up to the top. You aren't supposed to do that. You are supposed to come up slowly so that you don't do your body damage. When I popped up to the top, it really scared me. From the shore they said all they could see were my feet coming up because I kept trying to swim back down.
Susan's family was taking a trip to Cozumel and they invited me. It's beautiful. There are all these coral reefs and they just drop off. You'll be swimming along and then you look down and see this abyss and you can't see the bottom. On the first dive, Susan's brother held my hand the whole time. It was a little frightening. We went down 100 feet one dive. I don't think I was supposed to go that deep. But there was a couple from England on our boat and they wanted to go through a cave. Susan's brother was pretty experienced so he said he would take us around the cave. So we did that. Susan and I were swimming along and I looked up and Susan was way above me. I swam up to were she was and there was this big barracuda right in front of her.
It's a whole other world. It's so clear. You see the above-water world all the time and there are lots of things I haven't seen, but the underwater world is completely different. It's like you're swimming in an aquarium. We've seen sharks, great big turtles, all colors and manner of fish, lobster and crabs.
Every time I go down, there is a an adrenaline rush, but once I get down, it feels really natural."

Alonzo Jones AKA Turf from America's Got Talent
4 years ago I was walking down Market Street in San Francisco. I was photographing these incredible street performers and the one who stood out in particular with his red hair and contortionist dance moves happened to be Alonzo Jones aka "Turf". He is now considered to be one of the best and craziest performers on America's Got Talent. Continue reading

The 50-Year Rule: 1962 names revisited
Conventional wisdom holds that baby names tend to follow the Hundred-Year-Rule, cycling back after a century has passed. But with everything speeding up exponentially in modern life, and with the great interest in all things mid-century, we're thinking maybe we should change that to the Fifty-Year-Rule.
Which prompts us to a close look at the Top 1000 names of 1962.
At first glance, the Top 10 are not very inspiring—mostly classics for boys: Michael, David, John, James, Robert, Mark, William, Richard, Thomas, and Jeffrey, and for girls names very much of the period: Lisa, Mary, Susan, Karen, Linda, Patricia, Donna, Cynthia, Deborah, and Sandra.
But digging deeper into the data, we find an interesting mix of revival possibilities—all of them missing from today's Top 1000, and most of them gone for decades. Towards the lower end we find vestiges of a still earlier time—names like Percy and Virgil, Myrtle and Minerva– as well as nickname names that have been lost to time, some ethnic choices no longer prominent here, plus more archetypal midcentury names which might possibly be ready to return.

Some people could be putting off obesity treatment due to distorted images of their bodies. Research conducted by bariatric surgeon David Kerrigan, has revealed that 50 per cent of weight loss patients have a "distorted perception" of their body shape. According to Dr Kerrigan, this could indicate a trend among larger patients to "go into denial about the true extent of their weight problem". The research discovered that people with a body mass index (BMI) of 50 or over were more likely to underestimate their body image, perhaps as a way of hiding from the health risks associated with obesity. Those with a BMI of between 30 and 50 were more likely to overestimate their BMI. Dr Kerrigan suggested this could be because "they feel guilty, embarrassed and dogged by low self-esteem and depression, and therefore have a tendency to an exaggerated perception as to how large their body is".

Go to Apple Menu > Software Update, then make sure you have the latest OS X update. That should provide you with all of the necessary trackpad synching options you require.

Pair the trackpad with your Mac. Open BlueTooth preference within System Preferences. Click on TrackPad. Do a software update. It should load the Hardware Preference for a track pad. It will restart your computer. You may have to disconnect your trackpad and reconnect. But that should be it. Just talked to AppleCare for my MacMini. Good luck.

Pokémon TCG: Diamond & Pearl—Majestic Dawn
Pokémon TCG: Diamond & Pearl—Majestic Dawn
- SERIES Diamond & Pearl Series
- RELEASE DATE 01 May, 2008
- MODIFIED LEGAL DECK? No
Find out what's beyond the newest horizon in Diamond & Pearl—Majestic Dawn!
Take It Eevee
One of the most anticipated groups of Pokémon has arrived! Eevee gains two more evolutions in Majestic Dawn, bringing the total number of evolutions it has to seven, and you'll find each of them in this set! Leafeon (7/100) traps the opponent's Defending Pokémon in the battle, locking it in for future damage with Leaf Guard's combination of hard hits and built-in defense. Glaceon (5/100) can nullify incoming attacks when using its Snow Cloak each turn, and then kicks into high gear with Speed Slide, which avoids all kinds of defenses. One of the best parts of using Eevee and its evolutions is the amount of options you have for adding extra Pokémon types to your deck—it's easy to do and fun besides!
There's a New LV.X Pokémon on the Block, and It's Coming for You!
Garchomp LV.X (97/100) breaks all kinds of rules, but as it's one of the most powerful Pokémon out there, no one is stopping it! Its Dragon Pulse Poké-Power has the ability to damage all of your opponent's Benched Pokémon when Garchomp comes into play. In addition to being able to use the regular Garchomp's attacks, it has a no-cost Restore attack. Restore allows you to bring any 1 of your Pokémon back from the discard pile and put it directly into play—even a Stage 2. That Pokémon doesn't come in empty-handed, either, as it gets up to 3 basic Energy cards from the discard pile as well. Garchomp LV.X is powerful and extremely useful in bringing back Pokémon that have been Knocked Out.
Latest News in Rock
Majestic Dawn introduces 3 new Fossils—Dome Fossil, Helix Fossil, and Old Amber. Dome Fossil (89/100) and Helix Fossil (91/100) offer speedy evolutions into their Stage 1 forms—just by attaching an Energy card! Old Amber (84/100) quickly evolves into Aerodactyl (15/100), whose Primal Claw Poké-Body puts 2 damage counters on your opponent's Pokémon any time that Pokémon uses a Poké-Power. Get Aerodactyl out fast for some easy damage. Fossils offer a variety of strategies for your game—you'll want to check these out!
Energize Your Game!
Every deck uses Energy cards. Most often, these will be basic Energy cards to match the Pokémon types in the deck plus a couple of Special Energy cards. Majestic Dawn has new Special Energy cards that could go into any deck! Health Energy (94/100) and Recover Energy (96/100) offer recovery from damage and Special Conditions in addition to providing Colorless Energy. Perhaps even more sought-after will be Call Energy (92/100). Call Energy provides a Colorless Energy as well but also gives you the option of searching your deck for 2 Basic Pokémon, and putting them directly onto your Bench. Using this ability ends your turn, but it can easily set you up for the rest of the game!
Find these cards and more in theme decks and boosters of Diamond & Pearl—Majestic Dawn!

Even though it's only been two months since SOUNDGARDEN released their "comeback" album, "King Animal", the band's guitarist/vocalist Chris Cornell claims he is looking forward to making more music in the future.
"I don't see any reason why not," Cornell says. "I think the overall attitude about keeping it going and the way we want to treat it to keep it going is really good. There's nothing stopping us from continuing to make records and continuing to play shows, that's for sure. And since we've come back together everything has been kind of that way. There hasn't really been any of the tension, specifically surrounding peripheral stuff. And I think that's a simple as us making the conscious decision to not be influenced by anything other than what the four of us want to do and not putting a business version of a timeline on it. Our attitude is that we're doing this because we love it and because it matters to us and not for any other reason, and everything else kind of takes care of itself."
The band kicked off a winter North American tour on January 18 in Washington D.C. The trek is scheduled to wrap February 17 in Los Angeles.
Ozzy Osbourne was injured in a fire at his Beverly Hills home on Thursday morning, wife Sharon has revealed.
The Black Sabbath singer suffered facial burns, hair loss and re-opened a cut in his hand made during recent surgery after an unattended candle exploded its glass holder.
Sharon revealed she'd gone to bed without putting the candle out. "At five o'clock I heard a noise like metal had fallen. I thought it was my housekeeper so I didn't pay any attention. A few minutes later my eyes are stinging and my throat's closing up. Then my dog started to bark," She said
The Osbournes went downstairs to investigate, and discovered the living room in flames. Ozzy attempted to bat out the fire using his arm, which was in a cast following an operation he had last week.
Sharon said, "He opens the doors and I go into the kitchen and throw water on it – and it erupted. "Ozzy's front of his hair is gone. His eyebrows. He's got skinned cheeks. He made his hand worse. It started to bleed."

This was my first ultramarathon. The first hours of the 50 miler finds you in the dark, a member of a locomotive guided by headlamps. The closeness led to a sincere kinship with your pack. At first light, the beauty of your surroundings gives you a refreshing lift. Never take you eyes off of the trail. Unless you are a veteran of true technical trail runner, this will be the most technical terrain you have ever seen. The event staff are superb, and the volunteers deserve all of your appreciation. They and the DNR put as much effort into ensuring the success of the run as the North Face. I highly recommend the race. This will challenge you, regardless of experience. Also, Dean Karnazes offered his guidance, and he has the privilege of shaking your hand if you finish before he leaves.
Ran the 50-mile race. Well-organized race, though not too many aid stations due to the race being run completely in single-track trails. There were a few very well-stocked aid stations at road crossings, as well as a few scattered spectators. Nothing flat; uneven surfaces with rocks, roots, creeks, and anything and everything that Mother Nature can throw at you. You will have to dig deep to get to that finish line. Many runners did not make the cut-off. Excellent race! It was my first ultra and I am hooked for life.
Completed the marathon distance. Very challenging, rocky terrain. Hilly and mountainous course, for the serious trail runner. You could call this a black diamond for running trails. For the most part, the race was well supported - great volunteers. The trails were easy to follow and navigate. It would have been nice to have another aid station in the middle of the race. There was a 7-mile gap between miles 10 and 17 that made it challenging. Very nice, North Face, tech shirt and a medal were given out. Also, no-show socks were much appreciated. Seeing Dean Karnazes was very cool too - he kicked off the race. Distance advertised I have seen at 25.7; my Garmin read 26.4 at the finish. I did make a slight wrong turn once, but I felt like it was a true marathon distance. Only complaints were: the BBQ at the end was not really an ideal post-race food. Let me just say that it didn't stay down long. Also, I felt the medical staff at the post-race area was a little lackadaisical. I was lightheaded and my wife, who happens to be a nurse, recommend I get an IV. I asked for one and they acted like I was fine, that I didn't need one. They told me to lie down, which I did. I just thought that, after an ultra race, it shouldn't be that big of a deal to get an IV. I have done it at other events, and was just surprised not to see them react a little more quickly rather than question me. Also, at the finish line they provided empty bottles for you to use to fill up. These were cool, black, Gore-Tex, metal bottles, but they were empty and I had to search the tents for water. I am always amazed at how hard it is at some races to find a drink at the end. After plowing for 26 miles through mountains, we aren't exactly 100% when we roll through at the end. Just simply having some water coolers right next to the finish would be incredibly appreciated. I'd certainly run the race again, but it almost seemed to be geared towards the very experienced ultra-runner. Hope to be able to go for a longer distance next year... train on hard terrain for this one, or you will pay!
If you're looking for a change of pace from road races, this is it. As advertised, the trail was rocky/rooted single track with occasional stretches of hard pack and lots of ascents/descents. Website info for the Atlanta event (part of a series) was timely and accurate. Race director and staff clearly went to great effort to take care of the runners: aid stations with medical personnel were well-spaced and well-stocked; course markings were obvious and clearly explained. Volunteers were enthusiastic and did a good job of safely managing traffic at the few road crossings. ("Spectators" rating is 2 stars only because there are so few of them, but their enthusiasn deserves 6 stars.) Published distance between aid stations added up to 26.3 miles so I considered this my first "ultra," but rumor has it the "marathon" distance was actually close to 30 miles. No matter; Pine Mountain was beautiful/interesting and the barbecue in the finish area seemed even more well-earned. If you are interested in getting off of the asphalt and these folks are producing an event in your part of the country, it's time to sign up.

All this time I thought you had the legit copy and just installed the razor crack t avoid steam. Since you bought it retail, you still have to install steam and MUST update. I found even though you buy the retail copy, steam installs a 220mb update of some sort. There may well be 2 more updates after, being the 1.3 patch then the 18mb exe update. Also may as well play with steam running in the back ground. Reason being is to play the game you STILL need to log in to steam. So technically you're not really playing in offline mode.
oh ok... Yeah that's the reason I don't like steam too much, how it's always in the background... Although I do approve them wanting the "retail" copies to be "activated", to prevent piracy...
meh dosent matter LAA works by default just install from disc update done. new LAA 1.31 patch fixes most issues ive no complaints all i want now is GPU shadows after which id declare skyrim best game 2011'
If you didn't know already, after installing the game, you don't use the disk to launch the game. It's all done through sending data to steam so you can keep the disk somewhere for safe keeping. From what I have tried out, it appears when you backup the game file it retains the updates as well. I could be wrong though.
I can't test atm 'cause I'm at work, but some are saying to set shadows to medium and increase the resolution in the .cfg. My shadows are maxed and I have also upped the res in my .cfg. Some are claiming that this makes GPU utilization better. There are other aspects to this game that are very CPU bound and obviously not very optimized. The engine isn't the best. I shall digress, I've been playing this game a ton and I love it. The end product for me is fine and playable.
still no ambient occlusion for ati users?? And i was going to buy Crazy's Twin Frozr III HD6950 just kidding i still probably will.
I don't get why steam has us downloading the game, when we could install it from the Disc and Activate it afterwards...
and the triple overvoltage and better power phases and a few more of them. i think you have 4 + 1 phase and the one crazy has is 6+2
Never seen anything regarding those differences on the Twin Frozr III and from the looks of W1zz's reviews it doesn't seem to impact overclocking significantly Also am I the only who thinks updates for many of the good Skyrim mods have been slacking lately?
Some game publishers maybe all, prefer that you download a game instead of buy it from a store because it saves them having to spend money on making a retail disc. Some publishers even push downloading a game like CodeMasters and DiRT 3 in certain Countries where a retail version was not available. Or like Origins who sweeten the deal for a while with Alice:- The Madness Returns by offering a limited edition which has American McGees Alice included with DLC. As I have mentioned with the Retail version of Skyrim, regardless of installing from disc there is at least a 220mb download straight after which maybe a critical portion of game data. Possibly to prevent early piracy of the game if someone gets a retail version of the game before release date.
I'm confused... does this mean I can install the game from the disc... because as soon as I popped the disc in, I got the auto-play thingy which right from the get-go opened up steam and made me download the game...
Odd. Mine downloads straight off the disc, didn't jump straight to downloading it all via steam. Does your disc contain all the files? It should do otherwise yes it would be absolutely pointless buying retail. I think the data on disc added up to 4.87GB? Can't remember exactly.
Program Files /steam /steamapps /common /skyrim and hover your cursor over the TESV icon for the version to show up or go in game and the version will show up in the bottom left of the control menu when you pause the game.
Thx a lot guys, sorry about this... I'm completly new to steam. I'm going to re-transfer my mods and my saved games, and I'll be ready-to-go :O)
There's no need to say sorry or whatever... I think everyone is happy to help, I can speak for myself though and I am
This isn't the reason, they have to spend LOTS of servers/staff still. The reason is if you download it you are licensed to use the game and don't actually own anything. Massive legal advantage.

Coral Cores Tell 23,000 Year-Old Story, Science Daily, 03/03/06
Source: Science Daily
An international team of scientists, supported by the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program, reunited at the University of Bremen to analyze a trove of coral fossil samples retrieved from Tahitian waters during October and November 2005. Two weeks ago, led by chief scientists from France and Japan, the science party started their year-long analysis of 632 meters of fossil material retrieved from 37 boreholes drilled beneath the seafloor. The initial conclusion is that the IODP Tahiti Sea Level Expedition has assembled the most accurate physical evidence available today of changes in sea level during the last deglaciation, including a full record of temperature and salinity changes in the southern Pacific.
Co-chief scientist Gilbert Camoin, of CEREGE, a geoscience research center in France, summarized the expedition's success: "Tahiti has given us a treasure of records that archive sea level change over approximately the last 20,000 years. Because corals are ultra-sensitive to environmental change, we have been able--by splitting lengths of coral reef cores we acquired-- to get better, more accurate descriptions of reef growth during the sea level rise that occurred after the last glacial maximum, 23000 years ago." Camoin explains that Tahiti was chosen for this expedition because of its unique geology and its location: a relatively stable, volcanic island, Tahiti is subsiding at a rate of just .025 mm per year, in the southern Pacific far away from the previously glaciated regions. "Tahiti presents a microcosm of what's happening globally in paleoclimatology today," he says.
Japanese co-chief scientist Yasufumi Iryu, of Tohoku University, praises the quality of the cores obtained. "The longest continuous coral core we collected is 3.5 meters long," he confirms. "It represents 350 years of coral growth." Providing a reliable climate record with no gaps, massive coral samples--just five percent of the samples obtained--are highly valued by scientific investigators as they reconstruct climate variability and piece together frequency and amplitude of climatic anomalies such as El Niño.
"Our goal to acquire high-resolution archival paleoclimate records has been met," says Camoin. "Examining the massive coral cores retrieved from 40 to 120 meters below sea level, we identified grooved pairs of light and dark bands, each pair measuring a centimeter in width, and each representing one year of growth." According to Camoin, the coral fossils record age in their grooves. "Using radiometric methods, we are able to determine a coral fossil's age within 30 years."
Iryu, who specializes in El Niño anomalies, agrees that the age and water depth information found archived in the coral reef cores is simple, but crucial. In addition, "we measured live microbes (bacteria) living in the spaces within the deep fossil reefs. These samples," he confirmed, "have been collected and frozen for DNA sequencing."
"Coral reefs comprise the richest ecosystem on Earth," says Camoin, "and the most fragile." But coral reefs are diminishing, he notes: half of all reefs are expected to disappear in the next few decades. "Coral reefs are playing a prominent role in global matter cycles," Camoin asserts.
IODP Expedition 310 was conducted by the European Consortium for Ocean Research Drilling (ECORD), through ESO, one of IODP's three regional drilling operators and the program's specialist in mission-specific platform operations. ECORD represents 17 nations and provides support to IODP as a contributing member. A list of participants and their contact information is available at www.ecord.org/exp/tahiti/310.html.
The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program is an international ocean research program that promotes scientific advancement of the Earth through monitoring and sampling subseafloor environments. IODP receives its primary funding from the U.S. and Japan, through the National Science Foundation and the Ministry of Science, Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, respectively.
