Week #1 – Blogs
Week 1 – Blogs: Blogging is a great way for genealogists to share information with family members, potential cousins and each other. For which blog are you most thankful? Is it one of the earliest blogs you read, or a current one? What is special about the blog and why should others read it?
Which blog am I MOST thankful for? Hands down it is Dick Eastman's Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter. If you can't find it on EOGN , then chances are it hasn't even been written about yet!
EOGN is up-to-date and informative about not only genealogy, but technology as well. It was one of the very first genealogy blogs/ newsletters I read, and it's still my go to. Several times a day I open my reader [you can get one here] and catch the latest updates from Dick. And what is so amazing is that Dick encourages you to share his articles in your own newsletters and blogs! He's just that kind of sharing guy!
I encourage everyone, new to genealogy, or an old hand at it, to be reading Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter, it's the best there is.

Supercars with four-digit power figures are a funny thing. At one point, 1200hp was unheard of, so when you found a YouTube video of a car with that much power it was like finding a pillow filled with extinct Huia bird feathers. But now, 1200hp Lambos, 1400hp Ford GTs and 800hp GT-Rs are almost common.
Despite the overwhelming availability of top-notch hardware and new-age technology, there's still something incredible about a sub-3200 lb Italian beauty that can spin all four tires in second gear and spit explosions out the tailpipes between wide-open-throttle upshifts. Owner, Giancarlo Godz from Boca Raton, FL agreed and wanted his Superleggera to be different, slapping two turbos on a car originally priced at $246000.
While Giancarlo's '08 Gallardo is obviously special, it carries a long story; one of love, neglect, shady business deals and careless spending.
Last May, Giancarlo stumbled upon the car for sale, having previously being made aware of it in online forums. Purchased new, the original owner took the car to Heffner Performance of Sarasota, FL for a twin-turbo upgrade. At this point the car produced a modest 800hp, due to restrictions of the engine management. For whatever reason - we'll guess divorce - the owner was forced to part with the car.
Fast forward a few emails and international phone calls and you've got a situation with a wealthy gent in Dubai and a well-sorted Superleggera turbo. So wealthy, in fact, that before driving or seeing the car, he purchased it blind. He then returned it to Heffner for Motec engine management costing roughly $25000, along with a fully built Heffner motor. Here's where things get fuzzy, though...
Nobody actually knows if the car made it to Dubai. You see, the buyer appears to have had problems between the purchase and the second round of Heffner upgrades. Nobody knows what happened but then his family was trying to sell the car. So Giancarlo ended up in Portland, OR of all places to finally purchase it.
He was the proud owner of a slightly neglected Lamborghini. "It was caked in dust, like it had been driven on sand dunes," Giancarlo laughed, "So perhaps it made it to Dubai, but I guess we'll never know for sure."
This Lambo wasn't a showstopper so Giancarlo decided to bring it home to Florida to completely disassemble and rebuild it in his own home garage. "I pulled it apart, from the turbos to the seats and door covers," he explained. "Then I looked for ways to get heat out of the engine bay," he continued.
With two massive turbos and a high-revving V10, heat was a big issue. Things melt and break, and Giancarlo is anal to the point where he started making his own ducting, feeding fresh air to the turbine housings, following a chop to the rear bumper behind the turbos, filling the open wound with Gallardo grille mesh.
Weight was another concern. Giancarlo loved the vented carbon engine cover on the rare Super Trofeo, so he snagged one along with its rear wing, reducing weight and adding some wow factor.
Our man also opted for the Renown LP570-4 front bumper, with custom ducting to drive air into the radiators. Also carried over from the LP570-4 was the rear under-mount diffuser.
Keeping the car its original black was an easy decision, but to protect the paint and add a pinch of flare, Giancarlo chose a frosted vinyl wrap from Xpel to give it a matte-look.
Keeping with the dark theme and featherweight approach, Tillet carbon seats replaced the stock items, tipping the scales at only 12 lb each. Sure, they don't have a Lazy Boy's comfort or much ass traction, but they definitely look the part.
After all the weight reduction, the car weighed 3280 lb dry.
Keeping the monster stable was the task of 12k front and 14k rear Swift springs, while ADV.1 5.1 SL wheels filled the fenders. Measuring 12" wide out back, with a lesson in girth taught by 325-section Michelin Pilot PS2s, the rubber doesn't lack grip, but with so much power on tap they're not exactly perfect for traffic light launches.
You can see this in the numbers... Giancarlo ran a 10.9sec quarter mile, not so impressive, but his trap speed was 149mph.
Do the math - the car is ludicrously fast. With full traction, Heffner claims the sprint to 60mph in just 2.8sec, a 9.8sec quarter mile and 0-200mph in 18.1sec. Thankfully, the Superleggera comes with carbon brakes.
On the topic of stopping, Giancarlo is ready to call it quits. Really, what else could he do?
You can find solace in this, though. Unlike the tendency for people dumping their time, money and hearts into extraordinary builds of epic proportions, only to see them sell the car upon completion, Giancarlo isn't that kind of guy. "I'll be keeping it for long time. It means far too much to me," he confessed.

The Press officer at Bologna is mimicking a donkey for the benefit of Gaston Ramirez. The 20-year-old prodigy has been asked to name the city's famous twin towers, one of which is named after Eeyore and his fellow beasts of burden. The blank expression Ramirez wears indicates that he has no idea. Next question: Who is Bologna's honorary President? The Press officer whispers: "Gianni Morandi," but to no avail. Ramirez clearly still has a lot to learn about his new surroundings. Incidentally, he also thinks Silvio Berlusconi is Italy's Vice-President.
Ramirez can of course be forgiven. The son of a bricklayer and middle child in a family of five brothers and two sisters, he has only ever been focused on one thing and that's his football. "I didn't finish school because I joined the team of my heart Peñarol early and represented Uruguay from a young age," Ramirez told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "There was too much travelling to do and too many absences from class."
Luckily a strong Uruguayan contingent at Bologna comprised of Miguel Britos, Diego Perez, Henry Gimenez and Bruno Montelongo are around to educate and protect their richly talented compatriot. "We organise dinners based around asado, our grilled meat," Ramirez says. "We don't get it sent from Uruguay. We go shopping at Carrefour. The most important thing to understand is how we want it cut – it must be sectioned off horizontally, between the ribs of the animal, not vertically."
When he isn't barbecuing at home, Bologna's left-sided attacker is moving around opposition defences with such fleet of foot that his style of play calls to mind the salsa. "It's a typical Uruguayan dance," Ramirez says. "We all dance. But Gimenez is a lot better at it than me." Even so, Ramirez still managed to leave Alessandro Lucarelli in a spin when Bologna travelled to Parma back in December.
The centre-back felt he'd got the better of his opponent midway through the first half, getting tight to Ramirez and hassling him to within an inch of the touchline. But just as the ball was about to go out of play, the young playmaker held off his marker and drew inspiration from the previous owners of Bologna's No 10 shirt, the two Robertos – Mancini and Baggio. He dragged the ball back and flicked it around Lucarelli with his instep all in one thrilling movement, earning an Olé from the travelling Bologna supporters.
Goals followed against Lazio, Cagliari and Lecce, all of which displayed fine technique and confirmed the suspicion that Ramirez is very much a part of a golden generation in Uruguayan football, one that's headed in Italy by Napoli striker Edinson Cavani and his former Palermo teammate Abel Hernandez. "You'll see that within two years, he will be on Alexis Sanchez's level," said Bologna director of sport Carmine Longo. "For this reason, we're not selling Gaston. His price will treble."
Manchester City reportedly sent scouts to the Renato Dall'Ara to watch Ramirez at the weekend, only for the player dubbed the new Pavel Nedved to be left on the bench. One can only presume they'll be back soon.

WebMD Medical News
Reviewed by Michael W. Smith, MD
April 16, 2013 — It's normal to feel a range of emotions the day after the terror bombing attack at the Boston Marathon, even if you were thousands of miles away.
Los Angeles psychologist Emanuel Maidenberg, PhD, says that in the wake of all that horror, it's understandable that emotions are still raw and intense.
"People become vigilant, they look around, they become apprehensive," says Maidenberg, director of the cognitive behavioral therapy clinic at the UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine.
Empathy for those killed or injured, as well as fear for your own safety and anger at the bomber or bombers, are also common and normal at this time, he says. Three people are dead and more than 150 are reported injured from two bombs that exploded near the finish line of the marathon Monday afternoon.
For people who witnessed the attacks, the same emotions can surface, he says, although they may be much more intense.
"Some people feel numb emotionally and some feel overwhelmed," he says. "Some people feel they have to start doing something right away to help other people." Immediately after the attacks, news reports told of runners who went straight to the nearby hospitals to donate blood.
"Some feel it's best to withdraw and isolate themselves," he says.
While the other emotions are healthy, withdrawing and isolating are not, he says.
For the runners, especially those turned back from finishing the race, he says, there is also disappointment and frustration.
Coping With Boston Attack: Handling Stress Now
For the first few days after such a catastrophe, Maidenberg says, sharing your feelings with others can help.
The tendency to stay plugged in constantly to news reports, though, can be mentally unhealthy, he says. "We want to know what's happening, who's behind it," he says. That helps us deal with some of the uncertainty.
But it can also keep you from your regular activities, which is good for healing, he says. He suggests limiting your news viewing. "My advice is, you do want to seek accurate and timely information. Once or twice a day, check in," he says. The rest of the time, it's better to go about your typical activities, he says.
This is the time to pay even more attention to your usual stress-reduction techniques and to do more of them, not less. It's wise to give yourself a reality check, too. "We should also remind ourselves that the likelihood of this happening to us remains extremely low," he says.
While those who witnessed the events firsthand may take longer to cope with their emotions, anyone still feeling overwhelmed after 4 to 6 weeks should consider seeking professional help, Maidenberg says.
Mending the Minds of the Injured
The people seriously injured in the attacks often deal with body image issues and envisioning a new life, says Terrence Sheehan, MD. He is medical director of the Amputee Coalition and chief medical officer of the Adventist Rehabilitation Hospital of Maryland. Some of the victims lost limbs or suffered other serious injuries to their extremities. Others suffered brain trauma.
"The person has to acknowledge the loss," says Sheehan.
They have to progress from "this is horrible" to the difficult recognition that the limb, for example, is not coming back.
This can be tough, especially for those accustomed to high levels of activity.
Creating a vision of their new life is the next crucial step, Sheehan says. "They have to let go of their old self and embrace their new self," he says.
For many, that is difficult to imagine, he knows. "It's hard to let go of something if you can't see what's ahead of you," he says.
To help them envision their lives going forward, Sheehan's rehabilitation team introduces patients to peer counselors, available nationwide, who have been through the same process. The peers focus on what "getting back their life" means to each patient, and they serve as a kind of buddy.
"For an 83-year-old woman, it may mean going back to her own house," Sheehan says. "For a 17-year-old, it's about being able to go to the prom and college."
His professional expertise as a rehab specialist is important, he knows. "But the most important piece here is about the peer-to-peer interaction."

In fact, this place is actually better than some software I've used that I actually DID pay for.
This is a good log/planning site and it should concentrate on being that.
That's actually a really good point. I hope that by being so open to changes and additions, this place doesn't lose the basic stuff that makes it so useful. In other words, it ain't broke ... so I hope it isn't fixed too much.
As a begginer runner, I find this site to be a god-send. I can start saving some of my running data, in a low-key, un-pressurized way. When it was time to set up my options, it was very intuitive and easy. In the end, it just helps me to have a logical place to put this information, and to know that I can keep coming back to tweak it if something was not right.
As a professional graphic designer (who has designed a few web sites), I can assert without doubt that the layout and design is superb. I can shop for whatever I want anywhere else. This is a good log/planning site and it should concentrate on being that. So far it is doing it better than anywhere else I have seen.
I know you want to keep things minimal, but maybe a revised FAQ would be helpful. For example, you can now enter a run with either time or distance. And some questions seem to come up over and over again - like how to set your time-zone if your calendar is off, how to customize workouts (those were both mine, which have been asked many atime!).
Is there a search function on the forums? If so, I cant find it. If not, that may help too!

Number-crunchers at Pew Research Center find that more than half of us use our cellphones to surf the Internet, sometimes leaving our computers to gather dust.
A whopping 88 percent of U.S. adults now own a cellphone of some sort, as of April 2012, Pew reports in its latest survey. Out of those, 55 percent sometimes use their cell to get online.
It's not for everybody, all the time, though.
The researchers find that 60 percent of us, overall, use our cells, but mostly prefer the bigger screen of our PCs or other devices to access the Internet.
Pew also notes that young adults and non-whites "are especially likely to use their cell phones for the majority of their online activity."
The numbers break down to 45 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds browse mostly with phones, as do 51 percent of blacks and 42 percent of Latinos. Only 24 percent of white Anglos fall into the "cell-mostly" category.
Pew conducted a national telephone survey March 15-April 3 among 2,254 adults age 18 and over. (That included 903 interviews on the respondent's cell phone.) The margin of error for all cellphone users is is plus or minus 2.6 percentage points, and 3.7 percentage points for those who use their phones to get online.

If EA wins, it will get to claim that it slayed the big bad cloning monster and Zynga will slink away and only clone the games of much smaller companies.
Plus 'encrypted' is great but if you accessed the data via their own API that decrypts the CC info before passing it along for a purchase it doesn't help much. Encrypted HD's are great if your Laptop gets stolen, not so much against a machine that has a legit reason to decrypt the data into memory. After all it has to be 'plain text' to someone at some point or it's useless, but if you WANT one I'll sell you a SUPER secure hash that makes all credit card numbers store as 'x' totally 100% non-reversible :P
If you would like to join the Official "Boycott the Internet" please reply below... :P
Which is why banks should keep a vial of blood, or better yet next of kin stored away :D
Yes, because Trial by Axe was a WAY better system :)
Well first off, badstuff.moo.com. is what we like to call an example. It is not a valid subdomain of moo.com. Second, Whois is a great system that is closely tied to dns but it is not dns. Any subdomain in dns can numerous records, including NS records pointing you to a whole different server and authority for that record and below.
The example I used, 'badstuff.moo.com.' is a subdomain of 'moo.com.' which is a subdomain of 'com.' which is a subdomain of '.', the Root zone. Everything to the left of a '.' can be controlled by another organization with proper delegation. By your reasoning we 'com.' should / could be seized because there are bad subdomains of 'com.'.
Lastly, NONE of this has anything to do with hosts that are found by A records in DNS. This seizure is like removing my phone book entry because I sell drugs. My home is still there, my phone is still there, my phone number is still there, you just took the listing out of the phone book.
DNS is designed to designate other folks as in 'control' of sub-domains as you go down the tree. Thus moo.com. is one group, badstuff.moo.com. is a totally other group, that happens to have an A record that points to a server that answers for a http request for badstuff.moo.com. that Allegedly has Bad Stuff on it. Next you can have othersite.moo.com. which has it's own A record that points elsewhere with completely different content from other folks. Heck it doesn't even need to run a web server.
Frankly if siezing moo.com. makes sense, just THINK of how much Bad Stuff we can get rid of if we seize com. or even BETTER, if we seize . (the root zone) then ALL the bad stuff in the world goes away!
Unless of course people figure out that DNS is like the phone book, if you get rid of DNS all you do is make it hard to look up something you don't know, but you can always look elsewhere or at something else.
I've noticed that there seems to be little discussion about the fact that by seizing at the domain level you break more than just the web site. You take the MX records away as well. Which of course makes it impossible for anyone to email you.
Seems a bit of a problem if you don't get to talk to folks through what is to many people a primary source of communication.
Assuming a safe level of overlap in finding the same person multiple times, how long will it take to kick all of France off of the internet?
Wouldn't Community Property (ok depends on state I know) basically make it irrelevant who took the picture? They both owned it while married and thus had to divide both the copyright and the physical prints.
Just to help the readability of the letter I have one suggestion:
The line:
In fact, the research collected in that paper and other papers (such as the research by economist Will Page of PRS for Music in the UK) suggests that more people are creating new works of music today than ever before in history.
Is a bit funny, might read better if changed to:

Otherwise love the letter.

SARASOTA COUNTY -- It appears that previously convicted killer John Allen Lee will receive a third murder trial in a 2011 double homicide.
Lee, 49, was convicted this year for the slayings of Traci Nabergall and Jason Salter, and the jury recommended the death penalty in the case.
Before Circuit Judge Peter Dubensky sentenced Lee, his attorney Carolyn Schlemmer submitted a motion for a new trial.
In an order dated Monday, Dubensky granted that motion.
State Attorney Ed Brodsky said Tuesday that he was still reviewing the order before deciding upon a course of action, which could include an appeal of Dubensky's decision.
Last year, Lee was granted a mistrial, which led to the second trial.
After the conviction, Dubensky held several hearings regarding possibly withheld evidence and the alleged intimidation of a state witness. Under the unusual circumstances, assistant state attorneys Karen Fraivillig and Andrea McHugh took the stand.
Dubensky ruled that the verdict was undermined by a "Brady violation" because of an email McHugh received -- but did not place in evidence -- regarding a possible love triangle between Lee and the victims.
In an email dated Sept. 12, 2012, Dorothy Stolte -- the state's witness -- wrote: "These things I know to be true! ... I also did not know, at the time, that Tracy was a liar. That she had been seeing Jason, as well as John, when John was in jail for those couple of days prior to the murders."
Schlemmer holds that the statement could have substantiated claims that Salter and Nabergall were romantically involved. Lee contends that he witnessed Salter killing Nabergall, ran into Salter's home, and became involved "in a life and death struggle," the order states.
McHugh, the prosecutor, testified that she did not place the email into evidence because she felt it was consistent with a previous statement made by Stolte, that it would be inadmissable and that it was hearsay.
In his order, Dubensky scolded McHugh's decision.
"It is not the province of the prosecutor to either characterize or categorize evidence that, no matter how remote it might seem to her, could be exculpatory," Dubensky writes. "With respect to their discovery obligation, prosecutors should not determine the consistency or inconsistency of statements made by material witnesses. Prosecutors do not rule on issues of admissibility of evidence and they certainly do not limit disclosure by determining that it is rumor or hearsay.
"In a prosecution for first degree murder where the death penalty is sought, disclosure must be the first and last obligation."
McHugh said the statement was consistent with Stolte's words to a detective that Lee's father said Lee "killed Traci and her boyfriend. And I didn't even know Traci had any other boyfriend. Other than John."
Dubensky disagreed that the email and Stolte's statement to a detective are consistent.
"The state's insistence that the statements are similar is disturbing," Dubensky writes. "An alternative analysis of the statements suggests significant differences."
The judge also ruled that in the new trial, certain evidence showing Salter's history of violence toward women will be admissable through "reverse Williams rule evidence."
Dubensky ruled that the violent history combined with evidence of an intimate relationship between Salter and Nabergall could have established motive and intent for Salter to kill Nabergall, as the defense claims.
The judge dismissed claims of prosecutorial misconduct regarding the incarceration and alleged threatening of Stolte, as well as alleged jury misconduct as reasons for the new trial.
Court records do not list a date for the next hearing on the case.
Brodsky said the State Attorney's Office would be "discussing all of our options, and deciding whether we need to pursue an appeal in this case."
"Regardless of his decisions, we're committed to seeking justice and we will continue to prosecute this case and make sure justice is served," Brodsky said.
The criticism Dubensky directed toward McHugh and Fraivillig did not phase Brodsky.
"They're both outstanding prosecutors -- both very ethical, very hardworking, very committed prosecutors," he said. "I want to take a careful look at the judge's order, and review whether it conforms to what we believe is the law, and whether there are viable appellate remedies, but in the event there is a new trial, I stand by this group of prosecutors. This is our trial team in the State of Florida vs. John Allen Lee."
Fraivillig said Tuesday that she continues to stand by arguments she and McHugh presented in court.
"We are very, very disappointed in Judge Dubensky's decision," she said.
Schlemmer declined to comment on the judge's order or the possibility of prosecutors appealing the case.
Brodsky said he is very concerned about how Dubensky's order could affect Lee's bail.
"We don't want him back out on the streets," the state attorney said.
Murder case may get third airing

Conservation and Environment in South Africa: Monthly Updates
Legodimo Nature Reserve - February 2009
February was a busy month, the heat has subsided a bit and everyone is in good spirits.
We built a platform in the Nyala Berry (Xantocercis zambesiaca) tree in front of camp. This has now become prime real estate at midday. It provides a nice hidden vantage point from where to observe animals and birds down at the Limpopo River or just a pleasantly cool shaded hide-away.
The bush is unbelievably green and gorgeous. The mighty Limpopo River is still rushing past camp at near full strength. This is still making trips into civilisation very tricky as we still have to do the epic journey via Martin's Drift border post which adds about 4-5hrs to our trip. The route runs along the Limpopo River and does prove worth it sometimes when plenty of Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) might be seen or some other interesting mammals.
Mathathane Primary school got another visit from us this month. As part of our project to maintain good relations with our neighbouring communities, we went and replaced all the broken windows of the school. This was possible due to donations from the volunteers. The school off course was ecstatic. The school children are the "Bush Telegraph" of Africa and quickly spread the news to very influential people of the community. When the villages realise that they can benefit from their neighbouring
Game Reserves, the frequency of poaching and snaring decreases dramatically. Everyone wins and volunteers get the opportunity to mix with the local Tswana people and get an idea of what living in Africa can be like.
We are still soldiering on with research drives. The wildlife is rejoicing in all the good rains and all their offspring are growing well and strong. Our resident Leopards (Panthera pardus) are still eluding us. Their tracks litter the roads when we go out in the mornings, but still we haven't seen one this month.
The visits to Makulu Makete and Venetia Limpopo Nature Reserve were as awesome as ever. Volunteers got very close to both Cheetahs (Acinonix jubatus) and to Lions (Panthera leo) with cubs.
Elephants (Loxodonta africana) are still streaming onto Legodimo to everyone's delight and even stroll right up to camp where they drink from the swimming pool or pick out favourite chunks of our garden. We're not complaining.
The last contingent of Mopane worms are growing rapidly and are making it look like winter because of the sheer number of them that consume more leaves than even the elephants do.
Next month should start seeing the change of daylight length and the leaves of some of the trees. We are all looking forward to an eventful month of March as a couple of interesting projects are planned and Stuart Timson, the Peru Conservation Director, is due to visit.
Greetings from Africa and kind regards,
Gerrit Prinsloo

Totem Pole
You may have read here, there, or maybe somewhere else about the idea that each and every one of us has an animal totem, a kind of spiritual figure analogous to our persona. Most folks are bears or tigers, lions or cuddly kitty cats. Hopefully none of you out there are skunks, dingos, wolves or some other filthy, lying, stench-ridden beast.
What am I? Methinks in my heart I am a squirrel. I know, it seems like being a rather large man I should be something big and powerful like a lion or an elephant. The sloth might fit my persona on certain days when my movement is limited by hangover or more often, lack of motivation.
The squirrel is the one regardless of how little sense the choice may make on the surface. I have seen him as my brother in the animal kingdom since the day I walked through Cleveland Park and saw one running up-and-down and side-to-side on a tree adjacent to my path that day. He was spending time enjoying the world around him. None of his movements appeared to have any purpose as he scurried upon the tree, pausing with his tail straight up while his head faced the ground, perhaps just enjoying the blood flow to his minuscule noggin.
After disembarking from his pine, the squirrel hopped down the path - despite many different options he chose to stay on the six inch high rock wall that lined the flora planted in that part of the park. I was reminded of how as a child - and sometimes even as an adult - I would walk on a wall high above my companions just because I though it was more exciting or interesting than walking on the sidewalk. Here we get to the nitty gritty if you haven't figured out where I am headed. I've never cared to take the well-trodden path, the road less taken is usually the one I prefer and, like the squirrel on the tree, I prefer to have fun rather than obsess and stress myself out over "responsibilities" or the need to climb the working world pyramid. Don't view what a say as a value judgment on the choices you have made - my point is that each of us is different and should follow his or her own heart to become the person they are, not the person others want them to be.

Very clever.. I like your approach. I fathom myself as a shark. Sneaky, invisible... until it bites. I like staying out of people's way until, somehow, I become relevant.

In the blink of a geological eye, climate change has helped reverse the flow of water melting from a glacier in Canada's Yukon, a hijacking that scientists call "river piracy."
This engaging term refers to one river capturing and diverting the flow of another. It occurred last spring at the Kaskawulsh Glacier, one of Canada's largest, with a suddenness that startled scientists.
A process that would ordinarily take thousands of years — or more — happened in just a few months in 2016.
Much of the meltwater from the glacier normally flows to the north into the Bering Sea via the Slims and Yukon Rivers. A rapidly retreating and thinning glacier — accelerated by global warming — caused the water to redirect to the south, and into the Pacific Ocean.
Last year's unusually warm spring produced melting waters that cut a canyon through the ice, diverting more water into the Alsek River, which flows to the south and on into Pacific, robbing the headwaters to the north.
The scientists concluded that the river theft "is likely to be permanent."
Daniel Shugar, an assistant professor of geoscience at the University of Washington-Tacoma, and colleagues described the phenomenon in a paper published on Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience.

Keep Up on the Latest Climate News
Updated Aug. 10, 2020
Here's what you need to know about the latest climate change news this week:
- This year is poised to be one of the hottest ever and millions are already feeling the pain, but the agony of extreme heat is profoundly unequal across the globe.
- E.P.A. plans to lift controls on methane, a potent greenhouse gas, in the latest move in the Trump administration's ongoing effort to weaken environmental rules.
- The move toward opening the Pebble Mine in Alaska has surfaced a rare dispute between Donald Trump Jr. and his father's administration.
River piracy has been identified since the 19th century by geologists, and has generally been associated with events such as tectonic shifts and erosion occurring thousands or even millions of years ago. Those earlier episodes of glacial retreat left evidence of numerous abandoned river valleys, identified through the geological record.
In finding what appears to be the first example of river piracy observed in modern times, Professor Shugar and colleagues used more recent technology, including drones, to survey the landscape and monitor the changes in the water coursing away from the Kaskawulsh Glacier.
The phenomenon is unlikely to occur so dramatically elsewhere, Professor Shugar said in a telephone interview, because the glacier itself was forming a high point in the landscape and serving as a drainage divide for water to flow one way or another. As climate change causes more glaciers to melt, however, he said "we may see differences in the river networks and where rivers decide to go."
Changes in the flow of rivers can have enormous consequences for the landscape and ecosystems of the affected areas, as well as water supplies. When the shift abruptly reduced water levels in Kluane Lake, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported, it left docks for lakeside vacation cabins — which can be reached only by water — high and dry.
The riverbed of the Slims River basin, now nearly dry, experienced frequent and extensive afternoon dust storms through the spring and summer of last year, the paper stated.
The impacts of climate change, like sea level rise or the shrinkage of a major glacier, are generally measured over decades, not months as in this case. "It's not something you could see if you were just standing on the beach for a couple of months," Professor Shugar said.
The researchers concluded that the rerouted flow from the glacier shows that "radical reorganizations of drainage can occur in a geologic instant, although they may also be driven by longer-term climate change." Or, as a writer for the CBC put it in a story about the phenomenon last year, "It's a reminder that glacier-caused change is not always glacial-paced."
The underlying message of the new research is clear, said Dr. Shugar in a telephone interview. "We may be surprised by what climate change has in store for us — and some of the effects might be much more rapid than we are expecting."
The Nature Geoscience paper is accompanied by an essay from Rachel M. Headley, an assistant professor of geoscience and glacier expert at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.
"That the authors were able to capture this type of event almost as it was happening is significant in and of itself," she said in an interview via email. As for the deeper significance of the incident, she said, "While one remote glacial river changing its course in the Yukon might not seem like a particularly big deal, glacier melt is a source of water for many people, and the sediments and nutrients that glacier rivers carry can influence onshore and offshore ecological environments, as well as agriculture."
Her article in Nature Geoscience concludes that this "unique impact of climate change" could have broad consequences. "As the world warms and more glaciers melt, populations dependent upon glacial meltwater should pay special attention to these processes."
Another glacier expert not involved in the research, Brian Menounos of the University of Northern British Columbia, said that while glaciers have waxed and waned as a result of natural forces over the eons, the new paper and his own research underscore the fact that the recent large-scale retreat of glaciers shows humans and the greenhouse gases they produce are reshaping the planet. "Clearly, we're implicated in many of those changes," he said.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks fell for a fifth straight day on Friday, dropping 1 percent and marking the S&P 500's longest losing streak in three months as the federal government edged closer to the "fiscal cliff" with no solution in sight.
President Barack Obama and top congressional leaders met at the White House to work on a solution for the draconian debt-reduction measures set to take effect beginning next week. Stocks, which have been influenced by little else than the flood of fiscal cliff headlines from Washington in recent days, extended losses going into the close with the Dow Jones industrial average and the S&P 500 each losing 1 percent, after reports that Obama would not offer a new plan to Republicans. The Dow closed below 13,000 for the first time since December 4.
"I was stunned Obama didn't have another plan, and that's absolutely why we sold off," said Mike Shea, managing partner at Direct Access Partners LLC in New York. "He's going to force the House to come to him with something different. I think that's a surprise. The entire market is disappointed in a lack of leadership in Washington."
In a sign of investor anxiety, the CBOE Volatility Index <.vix>, known as the VIX, jumped 16.69 percent to 22.72, closing at its highest level since June. Wall Street's favorite fear barometer has risen for five straight weeks, surging more than 40 percent over that time.
The Dow Jones industrial average <.dji> dropped 158.20 points, or 1.21 percent, to 12,938.11 at the close. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index <.spx> lost 15.67 points, or 1.11 percent, to 1,402.43. The Nasdaq Composite Index <.ixic> fell 25.59 points, or 0.86 percent, to end at 2,960.31.
For the week, the Dow fell 1.9 percent. The S&P 500 also lost 1.9 percent for the week, marking its worst weekly performance since mid-November. The Nasdaq finished the week down 2 percent. In contrast, the VIX jumped 22 percent for the week.
Pessimism continued after the market closed, with stock futures indicating even steeper losses. S&P 500 futures dropped 26.7 points, or 1.9 percent, eclipsing the decline seen in the regular session.
All 10 S&P 500 sectors fell during Friday's regular trading, with most posting declines of 1 percent, but energy and material shares were among the weakest of the day, with both groups closely tied to the pace of growth.
An S&P energy sector index <.gspe> slid 1.8 percent, with Exxon Mobil
Decliners outnumbered advancers by a ratio of slightly more than 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, while on the Nasdaq, two stocks fell for every one that rose.
"We've been whipsawing around on low volume and rumors that come out on the cliff," said Eric Green, senior portfolio manager at Penn Capital Management in Philadelphia, who helps oversee $7 billion in assets.
With time running short, lawmakers may opt to allow the higher taxes and across-the-board federal spending cuts to go into effect and attempt to pass a retroactive fix soon after the new year. Standard & Poor's said an impasse on the cliff wouldn't affect the sovereign credit rating of the United States.
"We're not as concerned with January 1 as the market seems to be," said Richard Weiss, senior money manager at American Century Investments, in Mountain View, California. "Things will be resolved, just maybe not on a good timetable, and any deal can easily be retroactive."
Trading volume was light throughout the holiday-shortened week, with just 4.46 billion shares changing hands on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq and NYSE MKT on Friday, below the daily average so far this year of about 6.48 billion shares. On Monday, the U.S. stock market closed early for Christmas Eve, and the market was shut on Tuesday for Christmas. Many senior traders were absent this week for the holidays.
Highlighting Wall Street's sensitivity to developments in Washington, stocks tumbled more than 1 percent on Thursday after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid warned that a deal was unlikely before the deadline. But late in the day, stocks nearly bounced back when the House said it would hold an unusual Sunday session to work on a fiscal solution.
Positive economic data failed to alter the market's mood.
The National Association of Realtors said contracts to buy previously owned U.S. homes rose in November to their highest level in 2-1/2 years, while a report from the Institute for Supply Management-Chicago showed business activity in the U.S. Midwest expanded in December.
"Economic reports have been very favorable, and once Congress comes to a resolution, the market should resume an upward trend, based on the data," said Weiss, who helps oversee about $125 billion in assets. "All else being equal, we see any further decline as a buying opportunity."

The U.S.-listed shares of Canadian drugmaker Aeterna Zentaris Inc surged 13.8 percent to $2.47 after the company said it had reached an agreement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on a special protocol assessment by the FDA for a Phase 3 registration trial in endometrial cancer with AEZS-108 treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Buy
You should only use video converters and extenders if it is absolutely necessary to do so. In many cases, most video converters and extenders are not necessary if you purchase the correct cable.
The following table lists the maximum length of cable for common video standards.
|Video standard
|Maximum length
|50 ft. (15.2m)
|50 ft. (15.2m)
|50 ft. (15.2m)
|200 ft. (71m)
Note: StarTech.com offers cables longer than what is listed above, including active cables, which typically include built-in active signal boosters that allow for longer cables. Active cables are specifically designed to exceed the suggested maximum lengths and are tested at the listed specifications (for example, the maximum listed resolution).
Video adapters
Video adapters passively adapt a cable from one connector type to another. Video adapters do not change the signal type, or change the video standard.
Examples of common applications for adapters include the following:
DVI-I to VGA
RCA to BNC
Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort
Couplers (female to female, or male to male)
Note: You can use a coupler to extend a cable for a short distance. However, each coupler that you use can introduce signal loss, which degrades the signal quality.
Video converters
Video converters actively process and change the signal type from one video standard and convert it to another standard. They are typically used to convert digital to analog and vice versa, but can be used to convert a digital signal to another digital video standard (for example, HDMI to DisplayPort).
Video converters work over short distances from the source to the destination: up to 15 feet or 3 meters.
Video extenders
Video extenders convert an input signal to a higher voltage for transmission over longer distances and then convert the input signal back to the original video standard. The input and the output signal will match on a video extender, as the same video standard is maintained end-to-end. If a cable is extended with adapters or converters, the signal quality degrades.
Note: For more information on using a video adapter or converter with a video extender, see the following FAQ: http://www.startech.com/faq/video_signal_converters_convert_then_extend.

When you troubleshoot issues with an HDMI cable, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
HDMI cable
Video source
Video destination
To test your setup components, try the following:
Use the HDMI cable, video source, and video destination in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
Use a different HDMI cable, video source, and video destination in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test the HDMI cable, video source, and video destination, it is recommended that you do the following:
Verify that the source resolution matches the capabilities of the video source destination. For example, if the video destination is only capable of 720p, then the video source cannot output 1080p or 1920 x 1080, as that exceeds the capabilities of the video source destination.
Test at a lower resolution, for example, 1024 x 768.
If you are using 4K resolutions, test with a shorter cable.
If you are experiencing issues with audio over HDMI, ensure that the following is true:
The source is set up to output audio over HDMI.
The destination is compatible with the source's audio format.
The destination's volume was raised.
Note: HDMI to DVI cables, adapters and converters do not support audio unless otherwise noted in the Technical Specifications tab on the product page on the StarTech.com website.

Next generation Linux file-systems
If you've been reading this blog a couple of things are clear, I don't like Apple much and I have a soft spot for file-systems. An article was posted on the IBM DeveloperWorks site that covers two file systems; NiLFS(2) and exofs that has some great information about these two beasts.
Linux® continues to innovate in the area of file systems. It supports the largest variety of file systems of any operating system. It also provides cutting-edge file system technology. Two new file systems that are making their way into Linux include the NiLFS(2) log-structured file system and the exofs object-based storage system. Discover the purpose behind these two new file systems and the advantages that they bring.
Read the full article on the Next-generation linux filesystems, there was an article on LWN.net a few years back discussing the (then emerging) Btrfs and NiLFS and how things may pan out. I'm quite happy and content with ZFS but in either case it'll be interesting to see how all three go.

Syria's army retook control of a historic mosque in the northern city of Aleppo on Sunday after fierce clashes with rebels, a military official and an observer group said.
As casualties mount, Aleppo's few operating hospitals are struggling to cope with the number of victims, mostly civilians, caused by several months of fighting between government forces and Syrian rebels.

You do realize that your time is running out? When President Obama leaves office in January 2017 there will be no profit to be made from the sort of bigotry you swim in currently. Therefore, none of the elites that share your ideology, with nothing to gain financially from bigotry will jettison you and your kind for those who simply hate the Clintons. This must be a truly sad time for you Tim because there just is not enough hatred for Hillary Clinton to justify the pounds of seething vitriol those with your retrograde ideology have flung at the sitting President.
First the White House,
then Congress,
Then SCOTUS,
Then governorships,
then state legislatures,
Then county governments,
then city councils.
We already have the major cities, the American youth, American minorities, American women under 45, the LGBT community and the unions. So what are the conservatives, the right and worse the far right left with? The church goers who are not Christians? The frightened millions of those who feel their right to have the power of Life and Death in their hands in the form of a gun is more important than the lives of living breathing people? The lifeless people who feel that a woman who has been raped bears a responsibility to give birth to the product of that rape? Those black hearts who feel that a gay or lesbian or transgendered person is somehow less Human than they are because of who they love? The Right has lost. Those with this arcane ideology will lose nothing but their prideful desires for control and the power they have too long held over those who do not share their worldview.
You will still be free to worship as you please; but you will not be able to use the power of the pulpit, the synagogue or the mosque to define what others do.
You will still have your precious guns despite all the blood they spill; but you will not have the right to command an arsenal that can threaten the Peace and power of any government, be it Federal, State or Local.
You will still have Freedom of Speech; but fewer and fewer people over the coming decades will wish to hear the angry protestations of the Right because they are tainted with racist nationalist bigotries that are almost as old as Mankind.
It has been nearly 200 years since a political party destroyed itself right before the eyes of the American people. Now as it was then, the party that died was blind to the change coming and was overwhelmed by it. The new party that rose from the ashes saved the nation from destruction and preserved the greatest Union Terra has ever known. That party was the GOP; its opposition was the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party was rooted in white nationalism, bigotry and the economic need to maintain slavery in the agrarian South using religion as a justification. The GOP was the party of abolitionists who saw the potential in all Men who lived on American soil were and should be full Citizens.
The Union was saved; world wars were fought and still the scars of the Civil War and a Reconstruction still were shown on the backs and necks of America's black citizens and those who saw them as equals for more than one hundred years. The sins of the Democratic Party's past were absolved by FDR and his New Deal. The greatest series of government programs to right the economic ship of state in the history of the nation. Democrats became the new abolitionist seeking to abolish poverty; first for the white poor and then for all.
There are and have been millions who took unfair advantage of this system over time and those who abused welfare to their own detriment have been far out shined simply by those millions upon millions who did not become dependent on that system. And this is a teachable moment about the difference between We, Ourselves and those like you Tim. While you would focus on cities that are experiencing high rates of black crime you would ignore the crises of prescription drug abuse and suicide in your own race. While you would shout about the 47 million who depend on the pittance that SNAP offers a family those on ideological right shout at the Heavens about what a waste it is to offer a child $142 a month for food. A living child who is poor has less value to you than a child in the womb. Where is the logic in this argument?
Oh how grand it must have been for people like you one hundred years ago. A feeling of near deity like omnipotence with the only possible threat to your dominance coming from others like you that might whisper some gossip that placed a black mark on your familial reputation. Crime, divorce, alternative lifestyles and mental illness could place you on a social tier just above all those minorities that were tortured by the terrorists of the age who then were no better than ISIS is today.
But your time of worry is nearly at an end. We, Ourselves, of The Collective will ask one simple favor of the dwindling number of Baby Boomer conservatives. Take to your knees and pray for Progressives that will lead America into the middle of this current century. And while you pray to your deities, We will pray to the Fates that the Progressives will be good stewards of the People's Will and will protect those like you in your minority status better than those like you since time immemorial refused to do.

When you update your billing information in the App Store or iTunes Store, or add a member to your Family Sharing group, a temporary authorization hold for a nominal amount might be placed on the payment method that you have on file. Like many other merchants, Apple uses authorization holds to confirm that your payment account is active and that you have funds available to make purchases.
For example, in the United States, you might see a USD 1.00 authorization hold. If you live in another country or region, you might see a different amount in the currency of your country or region.
If you see charges for a higher amount, get help with unfamiliar App Store or iTunes Store charges.
About the authorization hold period
Authorization holds are removed by your card issuer after a short time. The exact time it takes to remove authorization requests varies by financial institution. If you use a debit card, you might see authorization holds as charges on your online statement. These charges are automatically reversed by your financial institution.
If you have questions about the way your card handles authorization requests, contact your financial institution.

- You can review your purchase history and report problems with purchases in the App Store or iTunes Store.
- Learn how to identify an unfamiliar App Store or iTunes Store charge.
- For help with recurring charges, you can view, change, or cancel your subscriptions.

POLS 250 Trailer
September, and thus a new academic year, is quickly approaching.
This year I will be teaching POLS 250 again. This is a full-year course (approx. 230 students) on the history of political thought. It is a required course for all our Political Studies majors here at Queen's University.
We start with Plato and end with Marx. Should be lots of fun.

Smashing taboos: Professor meets student
The background
There's nothing quite as titillating as the illicit, and Matchmaker delights in pushing the envelope. So when the chance to set up a professor and a student arose, it was a no-brainer. Heh, heh. Anyone's hackles up?
Okay, okay, smooth those ruffled feathers, and don't start humming "Mrs. Robinson" or "Don't Stand So Close to Me" just yet. Matchmaker's intrigued by the illicit, but she's also prone to exaggeration... In fact, while 41-year-old Michael is a professor, the student he was set up with has never– and will never– take his class. In fact, they're in different schools at UVA, and they're both single parents. At 43, Sarah's a single mom who's back in grad school and trying to find time in her hectic schedule to date. Michael is also doing the single parent jig following a divorce.
Both are liberal, both love their kids, the outdoors, and academics. Will they be quick studies in finding love?
The date
Michael and Sarah went to Zocalo in Central Place on the Downtown Mall.
Did you do anything unusual to get ready for the date?
Sarah: I got stung twice on the left heel by yellow jackets that morning, and could barely walk. I spent the whole day applying a variety of substances to my heel including ice, toothpaste, baking soda, solarcaine, and meat tenderizer, in an attempt to not hobble into the restaurant– which I managed, even though my ankle kept swelling up while we sat there.
Michael: Not really.
Were you first to arrive?
Sarah: I was first
Michael: Second. I got there right at 7:30.
Were you nervous?
Sarah: No. I enjoy meeting new people, and I don't really have expectations other than that if they're interesting, I'll enjoy it, and if they're really awful, it will make a good story.
Michael: I'm old enough to know that a person is either going to like me or not, so I might as well just be me.
First impression:
Sarah: Michael looked intellectual and was friendly and soft-spoken.
Michael: She seemed very nice, cute, and a bit reserved. I could see a lot of appealing things about her, but I didn't feel a strong connection with her.
Would you say this person was your type?
Sarah: I don't think I have a type– rather, there's a combination of personality, character traits, and physical features that can be appealing. I'd say Michael wouldn't turn my head but was within the range.
Michael: As a romantic type, no. As someone I could relate to and whose company I enjoy, absolutely.
Describe what your date was wearing
Sarah: A polo shirt with some kind of logo. I don't generally notice what men are wearing unless it's outstandingly good or bad.
Michael: A multi-colored skirt, past the knees; a red short-sleeve blouse over an undershirt. It was appealing, but subdued and detracted from her physical features.
What did you order, and how was it?
Sarah: We had the beet and arugula salad (we shared). I had the grouper with couscous, and he had the steak. The sauce with the grouper was heavenly, and the couscous was more flavorful than any I've had before. We both had desserts– I had the chocolate bread pudding, which was delicious (but too rich to finish), and he had the cheesecake. I've been to the bar at Zocalo a few times, but being a starving grad student, I'd not eaten dinner there before. It's definitely as good as everyone says!
Michael: It was excellent; lots of rich flavors and great sauces; Zocalo is one of the better restaurants in Charlottesville.
How was the service in the restaurant?
Sarah: It was excellent– very attentive but not cloyingly so.
Michael: Mixed, but mostly very good; they were very attentive and kind most of the time, but at a few points it felt like we got ignored for a good while (e.g. near the beginning before we ordered)
How was the conversation?
Sarah: We talked about our kids quite a bit. One of his daughters called just as we were getting started. It was nice to have this in common. We discussed our career paths, movies, politics– it seemed like a good give-and-take. (I never mentioned the yellow jacket stings because I forgot about them while we were talking.)
Michael: Going on a blind date; our kids and how much we love them/how we parent; both of us discussed how we got into our careers, and why we care about what we do. She mentioned the challenge of going back to grad school as an older student and single mom and how difficult it would be to find a good job that would be able to pay her enough money, not overwork her, and still let her do something she cared about. I really respect that and appreciate how hard it is to find.
Did you have a lot in common?
Sarah: Yes– we both have had similar experiences as parents, and similar political views and tastes.
Michael: Yes, especially our views about the world, politics, and parenting.
What did you find out that was interesting about this person?
Sarah: He played saxophone in a jazz band.
Michael: She is passionate about social change, and caring for other people and her son.
Was there anything you really disliked?
Sarah: No. He did seem somewhat formal and serious, but that could be just stress of the occasion.
Michael: No
Was there "chemistry" or interesting body language between you?
Sarah: No, but I don't know that means anything.
Michael: I'd say yes– again, she was very easy to talk to. It just didn't spark a romantic connection.
How did dinner end?
Sarah: We discovered that our waiter had been clueless about the situation, which was surprising because we had attributed his attentiveness to our status as blind date challengers.
Michael: I said, "Shall we?" and we left.
What was the very end like?
Sarah: We strolled down the Mall, and I ran into an old friend. It turns out that he and Andy had a colleague in common, so we talked with him for a while, then continued on and said goodbye and walked to our respective cars.
Michael: It was fine– a bit awkward but not bad. I asked if she wanted to stay in touch and she said yes. She gave me her phone number, and we said goodnight.
A hug? A kiss?
Sarah: It wasn't a hug or kiss kind of evening.
Michael: Neither
Did you have fun?
Sarah: Yes– it was a very enjoyable conversation.
Michael: Absolutely
Would you see this person again?
Sarah: Yes
Michael: Yes, but probably not as a "date"
Overall date experience?
Sarah: It's very nice to have dinner with someone who can converse intelligently without monologuing.
Michael: It was good.
On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate the date?
Sarah: 8.5
Michael: 6
No love match, but a new friend is a nice consolation prize!MM
