After three decades of declines, interest rates are near rock bottom, and many Wall Street experts think the bond bubble may be about to burst.
In fact, nearly 40% of the 32 investment strategists and money managers surveyed by CNNMoney think that interest rates will begin to rise in 2013, and another 30% say the shift will begin in 2014.
That would be even sooner than the Federal Reserve's projections. The central bank doesn't expect to raise the federal funds rate, the key interest rate that influences overall interest rates, until some time in 2015. The Fed said last month that it will keep its stimulative policies in place until the unemployment rate falls to 6.5%, which it doesn't think will happen before then.
"Like it's been in the case of Japan, low interest rates can go on much longer than expected, but right now it seems that all the stars are aligned for interest rates to rise," said Jeff Weniger, senior investment analyst at BMO Private Bank. "But ultimately, whether it happens in 2013, 2014 or 2015 doesn't matter too much. What matters is that you're not invested in bonds when they do rise."
That's because investors could get stuck with big losses if they wait to sell until after rates rise, since the value of bonds decline when interest rate move higher.
The threat is especially worrisome for individual investors, who have been rushing into bond funds while fleeing the stock market in search of safety and the preservation of capital in the aftermath of the financial crisis.
According to fund flow tracking firm EPFR, individual investors have plowed nearly $210 billion in bond mutual funds and ETFs since the beginning of 2008, while yanking almost $700 billion out of U.S. stocks. In 2012 alone, investors added more than $90 billion to bonds, while pulling more than $150 billion from stocks.
Plus, the fact that the bond market has become so crowded is a danger in itself, said Ryan Detrick, senior technical analyst at Schaeffer's Investment Research.
"Bonds are definitely an area we would lighten up exposure," he said. "If we've learned anything over the past 100 years of market history, it is that when the crowd thinks one way, you might want to go the other way. Should you have some bond exposure? Yes. But should you be overweight bonds? Absolutely not."
Experts are most worried about bonds with longer maturities, and advise investors to shift into shorter-term notes, or into debt that offers floating rates -- those that would rise along with the market.

- Wednesday, May 15, 11:38 AM Agricultural commodity prices (DBA) could fall a big 13% over the next year, says Goldman, predicting bumper crops across the globe. With weak demand and a record South American harvest (CORN, SOYB, WEAT) already in the books, it would require a major weather shock in the U.S. to keep prices near current levels. Earlier: Deere tumbles as poor weather slows U.S. planting progress. Comment! [Commodities]

The week's ETF movers - Gainers: TAN +14.6%. XHB +6.2%. OIL +5.5%. USO +5.5%. PHYS +4.4%.
ETF Losers: VXX -5.8%. GAZ -5.3%. UNG -4.5%. DBA -1.0%. EPI -0.4%. Comment! [On the Move] - Thursday, April 25, 3:19 PM The flow of key farm products (DBA) to the world from North and South America, highlighted by congestion at Brazilian ports and limited selling of crops by U.S. farmers, will keep global grain supplies tight despite expectations for big harvests later this year, Bunge (BG +6.5%) says after its Q1 report showed a 16% jump in agribusiness sales to $10.77B. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]
- Friday, April 12, 3:01 PM It's "death bells" for commodities, says Citigroup, calling 2013 the year in which it's realized the commodity supercycle is over and a new era in which the relative performance of how "stuff" performs against each other and other assets is what matters. Specifically on oil, Citi calls Q1's move higher without merit and expects the recent downtick in prices to continue. 70 Comments [Commodities]
- Monday, April 8, 10:22 AM Speculators exited long commodity positions last week at the fastest pace since 2008, according to the CFTC. Of particular note is the quickest decline in agricultural holdings (DBA) ever, led by an exiting of corn (CORN) positions as the price dropped about $1/bushel. Comment! [Commodities]
- Thursday, February 14, 10:28 AM Agricultural commodities continue an underreported slide, with J.C. Parets noting corn is down for the 10th consecutive session. Earlier this week, the USDA estimated farm income in 2013 will be the highest in 40 years thanks to high prices. A weak harvest has little impact thanks to the use of crop-insurance programs. DBA -5.2%, CORN -4.4% YTD. 2 Comments [Commodities]
Friday, February 8, 6:17 PM
The week's ETF movers - Gainers: VNM +4.3%. FCG +2.3%. BNO +1.7%. UUP +1.4%. TLT +1.4%.
ETF Losers: FXI -4.7%. EPI -4.2%. GDXJ -3.3%. KOL -3.3%. DBA -2.7%. Comment! [On the Move] - Friday, February 8, 3:40 PM Beans (SOYB -2.6%) tumble as stronger Brazilian production has the USDA upping its forecast for ending stockpiles by a greater-than-expected 1.1% to 60.1M tons. Estimated corn (CORN -0.5%) inventories are raised 5% to a 632M bushels, but it's not enough to send prices lower as the level remains the lowest in the U.S. since 1995. Comment! [Commodities]
- Friday, January 11, 12:13 PM The inaugural midday release of the USDA's January crop report doesn't disappoint, with corn reversing early losses and now sharply green as Dec. 1 stocks come in at 8.03B bushels vs. expectations of 8.21B. Ending stocks are estimated at a slim 602M bushels vs. expectations of 667M. Beans are down after production came in higher than expected. Wheat jumps on lower-than-anticipated planted acres. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]
- Thursday, January 3, 9:19 AM The grains continue a tough post-U.S. harvest run with news today of China cancelling another order - this one 11.6M bushels of American beans. In the meantime, better weather is improving prospects for South America's crops. Beans -1.1%, Corn -0.7%, Wheat -0.2%. Comment! [Commodities]
- Friday, December 21, 2012, 3:34 PM Not benefiting yet from QE∞ are commodities, the PowerShares Ag Fund (DBA) and Commodity Tracking Fund (DBC) both peaking right at the time of the Fed's September announcement. Since then, they're off 6-8%, and YTD badly lagging the S&P. 3 Comments [Commodities]
- Friday, December 21, 2012, 11:59 AM Brazil's government go-ahead for Petrobras (PBR -3.6%) to raise its gasoline prices in early 2013 likely will raise demand for domestically produced sugar-based ethanol, but effects also could reach U.S. shores. Ethanol output in the U.S. is expected fall ~10% next year, and a robust export market could give Brazilian mills even more incentive to produce ethanol instead of sugar. 4 Comments [Energy, Global & FX, On the Move]
- Tuesday, December 4, 2012, 5:57 PM Phosphorus: The finite supply of it is why Jeremy Grantham predicts a grim future for much of the world's population. As production of the critical ingredient for fertilizer drops, so will crop yields, which will threaten the ability to feed the world's population. Grantham thinks the finite supply of fertilizer and limits of crop yields already are starting to affect food prices. 6 Comments [Commodities, Global & FX]
- Monday, December 3, 2012, 4:57 PM The commodity supercycle isn't over yet, writes Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, pointing to a contrarian RBA study arguing China's heavy consumption of key metals and oil is just getting underway. Consider how well the prices of these commodities have held up in 2012 despite slumping worldwide growth, especially in China. Toss in central banks printing away ... do you really want to sell commodities now? DBC +5% YTD. Comment! [Commodities]
- Monday, November 12, 2012, 12:47 PM The grains get a downgrade from Goldman following Friday's USDA report raising harvest estimates. Acknowledging continued tight supplies of corn and wheat, Goldman says "risks of critically tight soybean inventories continue to fade quickly." The grains are off sharply today: CORN -3.1%, SOYB -2.8%, WEAT -1.6%. Comment! [Commodities]
- Friday, November 9, 2012, 7:04 AM Corn could move up to the unheard level of $9-$10/bushel in 2013, says Morgan Stanley's Hussein Allidina. A few weak export numbers from the U.S. has left the market complacent, he says, but supplies remain super-thin and current prices aren't high enough to ensure there will be corn around until the next crop. CORN -7.9% over the last 90 days. 1 Comment [Commodities]

A community of peers created by the Soaring Spirits Loss Foundation
Several nights on chat the discussion of weight was brought up. Some lost some after the death of their spouse, while others gained. It spurred some to get healthy, and others binged.
I'd love to use this discussion to talk about our weight, our goals, and how our grief defines our weight struggles. Lets support one another in our weight wishes!
That's great. My body, like my personality, seems to be a little stubborn. I have been staying on program (Weight watchers), but have tiny gains (.2 to .4) for two to three weeks, then a big loss (4 to 5 lbs) then back to the tiny gains. I walk 3.5 to 4 miles 5 times a week. With spring yard work, I'm going to have to skip the gym a few more times a week to get yard work done, but that's still exercise.
for me: when my hubby died, I was still pregnant! Ever since I've known my husband, not a day would pass without him telling me that i was beautiful! --it increased when I was carrying his child! I miss that!
It has been *almost* 6 months now since he's been gone, and I've heard maybe a few people say "you are beautiful"
I've lost the baby weight, Im back to my normal weight! NOW just to TONE!!! :)
I joined weight watchers back in September last year, only lost 3lbs. I had been on ww before and lost 40, I just can't do it right now, it takes so much focus and I don't have it. I have been gaining weight since February and clothes are starting to get tight. I really do want to lose the weight, but with my two little girls, school, work and everything else that I now do, it's seems overwhelming to me to focus on it. I also think my not losing weight is my way of keeping men away from me, I think that if someone really liked me then they would like all of me, that is how Greg was, he was happy for me when I lost weight a few years ago, but not because he wanted me to, because I wanted to and it made me feel better about me, it made me happy. I think that I punish myself for wanting to be happy too, because he is not here, how can I be happy without him?
That being said I know I need to lose the weight to be more healthy, to set a good example for my children. I know it is the right thing to do, I'm just not there yet.........
Mahagen - That's frustrating, but in the "overall" sense of things you ARE losing. I'm amazing at all the walking you are doing - how do you fit it in - how long does it take you to walk 3.5-4 miles. How long did it take to build up to that? I Loooove to walk and hike and I'd like to get motivated to do it more.
Storm - AWESOME! I can't have the things I love in the house either otherwise I eat them all! I do keep substitutes around that I enjoy, though, and that helps subdue my cravings. What type of exercise are you doing?
Smit - Congrats on losing the baby weight, and you ARE beautiful (inside and out). I'd like to tone as I lose too so I don't have a bunch of skin flab. What do you want to do to tone?
Pooh - It's such a head game, isn't? The combination of grieving and health and loving again and kids and just freakin' everything! You want to be healthy for your kids which may be a better goal for you right now than being healthy for you. I never used to say this, but I'm starting to "get it". I don't have kids, so I have and had to get to a place where I wanted to be healthy just for me, to be selfish, and man that's hard after a loss such as this. I started with very small goals this time. Like just MOVING 10 minutes a day. Could that work for you? I use sparkpeople.com because it's similar to weight watchers, but FREE!
Crazy Widow,
Thanks for the suggestions about moving 10 minutes a day and using sparkpeople.com, I will defintely try both. I think you are right about starting to be healthy for the kids, I have done most everything else with them in mind so that might work for me too :)
I'll try to remember to check in, but here is a great spot to share what's working, what's not and what you need encouragement with :)
I am a treadmill walker. The treadmills at the gym have programs that speed up and slow down, elevate and go back down. I set the length of time for the program and the top speed. I use 10, 15 and 20 minute increments. I walk around 60 minutes. During that time I watch a personal DVD player. Right now I'm going through the entire run of West Wing. Each episode is about 43 minutes. I walk without entertainment for 15 minutes, then watch my DVD for 43 and nothing the last couple of minutes. If someone stops by to talk, I walk longer. It has taken me a year to get from a 20 minute walk to a 60 minute walk. I took it very slowly. I NEVER RUN!
Wow, that's AWESOME. I used to try running (working up to a 5k) but no longer am allowed to due to recent back surgery.
I'm not a big treadmill person - prefer to be outdoors, but I can see doing that by watching your favorite episodes of a show. Great plan :)
Up 3 pounds. But good habits formed, so I'm continuing forward.
i lost 15 pounds while my husband was in the hospital. another 5 after his death. I was too nervous to eat and at that point underweight...you could see my rib cage/
as i grieved, cooking was one way i took care of myself. I had to adjust to cooking for one that was not easy.
then i found i was eating out of boredom. granted i was eating healthy stuff (things i cooked nothing processed) but i am still eating too much.
its hard to get motivated to diet. I'm like "who cares!?!?!" "whats the point"

Nortek Aquadopp Open Water Current Meter
This instrument provides 3D acoustic doppler current measurements along with standard measurements of temperature, pressure, tilt and direction. It can be used in real time measurement situations or can log to an internal recorder powered by internal batteries. It can also be configured to measure surface wave height, period and direction concurrently. It has the unique feature of being run in 'diagnostic' mode when set to collect data at 1 Hz frequency in user specified intervals. This allows studies of mooring motion and the performance of other current meters to be conducted. It can be set in various configurations with titanium housings for deployment at greater depths.
Standard Measured Parameters
- 3D current velocity (East/North/Up, X/Y/Z or Beam 1/2/3)
- Acoustic signal strength (Beam 1/2/3)
- Compass
- Tilt
- Temperature
- Pressure
- Battery voltage
- Status code
- Error code
Surface wave monitoring
The standard Aquadopp is suitable for measuring surface wave height, period, and direction, which are calculated using the PUV method whereby spectra are estimated based on a combination of the pressure signal recorded by the instrument (P) and two horizontal components of the wave orbital velocity (U and V). More specifically, the pressure signal is used to provide an estimate of the wave frequency spectrum. The energy in this spectrum is then used to estimate wave height and period. The measurements of the wave orbital velocities are used to provide an estimate of the wave direction. Since these estimates are based on the distribution of wave energy and are not direct measurements of the free surface, they should be considered inferred estimates.
Both the dynamic pressure and the orbital velocities are driven by surface waves. The signals that are associated with these properties are complicated by the fact that they attenuate (that is the signals are weaker) with depth. The exact behaviour of the attenuation is determined by the water depth and the wavelength being observed. The greater the water depth the greater the attenuation; likewise, the shorter the wavelength (or higher the frequency of the wave) the greater the attenuation for a given water depth. This means that the estimation of wave parameters is limited by both water depth and wave frequency.

BODC Current Meter Screening
BODC screen both the series header qualifying information and the parameter values in the data cycles themselves.
Header information is inspected for:
- Irregularities such as unfeasible values
- Inconsistencies between related information. For example:
- Depths of meter and sea bed.
- Times for mooring deployment and for start/end of data series.
- Length of record or number of data cycles, the cycle interval, the clock error and the period over which accrued.
- Parameters stated as measured and the parameters actually present in the data cycles.
- Originator's comments on meter/mooring performance and data quality.
Documents are written by BODC highlighting irregularities which cannot be resolved.
Data cycles are inspected using time series plots of all parameters. Currents are additionally inspected using vector scatter plots and time series plots of North and East velocity components. These presentations undergo intrinsic and extrinsic screening to detect infeasible values within the data cycles themselves and inconsistencies as seen when comparing characteristics of adjacent data sets displaced with respect to depth, position or time. Values suspected of being of non- oceanographic origin may be tagged with the BODC flag denoting suspect value.
The following types of irregularity, each relying on visual detection in the time series plot, are amongst those which may be flagged as suspect:
- Spurious data at the start or end of the record.
- Obvious spikes occurring in periods free from meteorological disturbance.
- A sequence of constant values in consecutive data cycles.
If a large percentage of the data is affected by irregularities, deemed abnormal, then instead of flagging the individual suspect values, a caution may be documented. Likewise documents will highlight irregularities seen in the current vector scatter plots such as incongruous centre holes, evidence of mooring 'knock-down', abnormal asymmetry in tidally dominated records or gaps as when a range of speeds or directions go unregistered due to meter malfunction.
The term 'knock-down' refers to the situation when the 'drag' exerted on a mooring at high current speeds may cause instruments to tilt beyond the angle at which they are intended to operate. At this point the efficiency of the current sensors to accurately record the flow is reduced.
Inconsistencies between the characteristics of the data set and those of its neighbours are sought, and where necessary, documented. This covers inconsistencies in the following:
- Maximum and minimum values of parameters (spikes excluded).
- The orientation and symmetry of the current vector scatter plot.
- The direction of rotation of the current vectors.
- The approximate amplitude and periodicity of the tidal currents.
- The occurrence of meteorological events and, finally, for series for which no time check was possible, the phase.
This intrinsic and extrinsic screening of the parameter values seeks to confirm the qualifying information and the source laboratory's comments on the series. In screening and collating information, every care is taken to ensure that errors of BODC making are not introduced.
RAPIDMOC/MOCHA Current Meter data processing document
This document outlines the procedures undertaken to process and quality assure current meter data collected under the RAPIDMOC and MOCHA projects.
Originator's processing
The raw data are downloaded from the instrument and converted to ASCII format.
Once in ASCII format the data are corrected for the following -
- Speed bias (caused by the mooring motion)
- Sound speed (as electromagnetic current meter sensors use the speed of sound in water to calculate the doppler shift in the returned signal, they are corrected for variations in sound speed using temperature data as sound speed varies with temperature).
- Magnetic variation
A 40 hour low pass filter is also applied to the data.
Calculating and applying calibrations
Manufacturers calibrations are applied.
Quality Control
Data were visually inspected for out-lying data and instrument electrical spikes removed.
BODC processing
Data are received after quality checks have been made and calibrations have been applied. The data files are submitted in ASCII format as one file per instrument.
Once the submitted data files are safely archived, the data undergo reformatting and banking procedures:
The data files are transferred into a common format, a NetCDF subset.
Standard parameter codes are assigned that accurately describe the data (see Parameter mapping section below).
Unit conversions are applied, if necessary, so that units are standardised (see Parameter mapping section below).
The data are screened visually and any spikes or instrument malfunctions can be clearly labelled with quality control flags.
Comprehensive documentation is prepared describing the collection, processing and quality of each data series.
Detailed metadata and documents are loaded to the database and linked to each series so that the information is readily available to future users.
Parameter mapping
The following describes the parameters contained in the originator's files and their mapping to BODC parameter codes:

Project Information
Rapid Climate Change (RAPID) Programme
Rapid Climate Change (RAPID) is a £20 million, six-year (2001-2007) programme of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). The programme aims to improve our ability to quantify the probability and magnitude of future rapid change in climate, with a main (but not exclusive) focus on the role of the Atlantic Ocean's Thermohaline Circulation.
Scientific Objectives
- To establish a pre-operational prototype system to continuously observe the strength and structure of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC).
- To support long-term direct observations of water, heat, salt, and ice transports at critical locations in the northern North Atlantic, to quantify the atmospheric and other (e.g. river run-off, ice sheet discharge) forcing of these transports, and to perform process studies of ocean mixing at northern high latitudes.
- To construct well-calibrated and time-resolved palaeo data records of past climate change, including error estimates, with a particular emphasis on the quantification of the timing and magnitude of rapid change at annual to centennial time-scales.
- To develop and use high-resolution physical models to synthesise observational data.
- To apply a hierarchy of modelling approaches to understand the processes that connect changes in ocean convection and its atmospheric forcing to the large-scale transports relevant to the modulation of climate.
- To understand, using model experimentation and data (palaeo and present day), the atmosphere's response to large changes in Atlantic northward heat transport, in particular changes in storm tracks, storm frequency, storm strengths, and energy and moisture transports.
- To use both instrumental and palaeo data for the quantitative testing of models' abilities to reproduce climate variability and rapid changes on annual to centennial time-scales. To explore the extent to which these data can provide direct information about the thermohaline circulation (THC) and other possible rapid changes in the climate system and their impact.
- To quantify the probability and magnitude of potential future rapid climate change, and the uncertainties in these estimates.
Overall 38 projects have been funded by the RAPID programme. These include 4 which focus on Monitoring the Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC), and 5 international projects jointly funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research, the Research Council of Norway and NERC.
The RAPID effort to design a system to continuously monitor the strength and structure of the North Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is being matched by comparative funding from the US National Science Foundation (NSF) for collaborative projects reviewed jointly with the NERC proposals. Three projects were funded by NSF.
A proportion of RAPID funding as been made available for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) as part of NERC's Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI). The SBRI aims to stimulate innovation in the economy by encouraging more high-tech small firms to start up or to develop new research capacities. As a result 4 projects have been funded.
Monitoring the Meridional Overturning Circulation at 26.5N (RAPIDMOC)
Scientific Rationale
There is a northward transport of heat throughout the Atlantic, reaching a maximum of 1.3PW (25% of the global heat flux) around 24.5°N. The heat transport is a balance of the northward flux of a warm Gulf Stream, and a southward flux of cooler thermocline and cold North Atlantic Deep Water that is known as the meridional overturning circulation (MOC). As a consequence of the MOC northwest Europe enjoys a mild climate for its latitude: however abrupt rearrangement of the Atlantic Circulation has been shown in climate models and in palaeoclimate records to be responsible for a cooling of European climate of between 5-10°C. A principal objective of the RAPID programme is the development of a pre-operational prototype system that will continuously observe the strength and structure of the MOC. An initiative has been formed to fulfill this objective and consists of three interlinked projects:
- A mooring array spanning the Atlantic at 26.5°N to measure the southward branch of the MOC (Hirschi et al., 2003 and Baehr et al., 2004).
- Additional moorings deployed in the western boundary along 26.5°N (by Prof. Bill Johns, University of Miami) to resolve transport in the Deep Western Boundary Current (Bryden et al., 2005). These moorings allow surface-to-bottom density profiles along the western boundary, Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and eastern boundary to be observed. As a result, the transatlantic pressure gradient can be continuously measured.
- Monitoring of the northward branch of the MOC using submarine telephone cables in the Florida Straits (Baringer et al., 2001) led by Dr Molly Baringer (NOAA/AOML/PHOD).
The entire monitoring array system created by the three projects will be recovered and redeployed annually until 2008 under RAPID funding. From 2008 until 2014 the array will continue to be serviced annually under RAPID-WATCH funding.
The array will be focussed on three regions, the Eastern Boundary (EB), the Mid Atlantic Ridge (MAR) and the Western Boundary (WB). The geographical extent of these regions are as follows:
- Eastern Boundary (EB) array defined as a box with the south-east corner at 23.5°N, 25.5°W and the north-west corner at 29.0°N, 12.0°W
- Mid Atlantic Ridge (MAR) array defined as a box with the south-east corner at 23.0°N, 52.1°W and the north-west corner at 26.5°N, 40.0°W
- Western Boundary (WB) array defined as a box with the south-east corner at 26.0°N, 77.5°W and the north-west corner at 27.5°N, 69.5°W

RAPID- Will the Atlantic Thermohaline Circulation Halt? (RAPID-WATCH)
RAPID-WATCH (2007-2014) is a continuation programme of the Natural Environment Research Council's (NERC) Rapid Climate Change (RAPID) programme. It aims to deliver a robust and scientifically credible assessment of the risk to the climate of UK and Europe arising from a rapid change in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC). The programme will also assess the need for a long-term observing system that could detect major MOC changes, narrow uncertainty in projections of future change, and possibly be the start of an 'early warning' prediction system.
The effort to design a system to continuously monitor the strength and structure of the North Atlantic MOC is being matched by comparative funding from the US National Science Foundation (NSF) for the existing collaborations started during RAPID for the observational arrays.
Scientific Objectives
- To deliver a decade-long time series (2004-2014) of calibrated and quality-controlled measurements of the Atlantic MOC from the RAPID-WATCH arrays.
- To exploit the data from the RAPID-WATCH arrays and elsewhere to determine and interpret recent changes in the Atlantic MOC, assess the risk of rapid climate change, and investigate the potential for predictions of the MOC and its impacts on climate.
This work will be carried out in collaboration with the Hadley Centre in the UK and through international partnerships.
Mooring Arrays
The RAPID-WATCH arrays are the existing 26°N MOC observing system array (RAPIDMOC) and the WAVE array that monitors the Deep Western Boundary Current. The data from these arrays will work towards meeting the first scientific objective.
The RAPIDMOC array consists of moorings focused in three geographical regions (sub-arrays) along 26.5° N: Eastern Boundary, Mid-Atlantic Ridge and Western Boundary. The Western Boundary sub-array has moorings managed by both the UK and US scientists. The other sub-arrays are solely led by the UK scientists. The lead PI is Dr Stuart Cunningham of the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, UK.
The WAVE array consists of one line of moorings off Halifax, Nova Scotia. The line will be serviced in partnership with the Bedford Institute of Oceanography (BIO), Halifax, Canada. The lead PI is Dr Chris Hughes of the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory, Liverpool, UK.
All arrays will be serviced (recovered and redeployed) either on an annual or biennial basis using Research Vessels from the UK, US and Canada.
Modelling Projects
The second scientific objective will be addressed through numerical modelling studies designed to answer four questions:
- How can we exploit data from the RAPID-WATCH arrays to obtain estimates of the MOC and related variables?
- What do the observations from the RAPID-WATCH arrays and other sources tell us about the nature and causes of recent changes in the Atlantic Ocean?
- What are the implications of RAPID-WATCH array data and other recent observations for estimates of the risk due to rapid change in the MOC?
- Could we use RAPID-WATCH and other observations to help predict future changes in the MOC and climate?

Science and the Bible: Assessing the Evangelical Encounter with Evolution
Having now completed our study of the five main views about "Science and the Bible" held by conservative Protestants, I conclude with a final column, assessing the whole situation as I see it today.
Series: Science and the Bible: Intelligent Design
In this series, Ted Davis identifies the history, core tenets and assumptions about the Intelligent Design view.
Off with Their Heads
The Queen had only one way of settling all difficulties, great or small. "Off with his head!" she said, without even looking round
Series: Surprised by Jack: C.S. Lewis on Mere Christianity, the Bible, and Evolutionary Science
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
Scientists Tell Their Stories: George Murphy
During his seminary education, Dr. Murphy also gained a deeper understanding of Luther's theology of the cross, and he realized that it's really the best way to approach the science and theology dialogue.
Series: Behe, Lenski and the "Edge" of Evolution
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
Willing to be Wrong
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
Series: Decoding ENCODE
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
A Pastor's Approach to Science
Since the sermon is the main component used to build the congregation's collective approach to understanding how the church relates to the world, I want to take a few moments to lay out what has worked in my preaching and what has not when it comes to science, and more specifically, the subject of evolution.
Freedom and Grace in Tennessee
Towards the end of the last school year, the Tennessee legislature passed the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act, a law that became more popularly known as the "Monkey Bill." I was doing research in a Tennessee high school biology classroom the morning that I learned that the bill had passed.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
Series: Understanding Evolution: the Evolutionary Origins of Irreducible Complexity
One of the challenges for discussing evolution within evangelical Christian circles is that there is widespread confusion about how evolution actually works. In this installment, we examine evidence that proteins in irreducibly complex (IC) systems can form and refine new interactions through gradual mechanisms.
Fine-tuning and the "Fruitful Universe"
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
Teaching the Whole Controversy
Part of our goal at BioLogos is to demonstrate that we in the Christian community can and must think deeply, but also broadly, if we want to do justice to the complexity of biological life, but also to the complexity of our lives of faith.
Teaching Science in Tennessee
Last week, Tennessee legislators approved a bill on science education (the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act) that has stoked controversy around the country.
Series: Creation, Evolution, and Christian Laypeople
The six-part series by Dr. Keller considers three main clusters of questions lay people raise with their pastors when introduced to the teaching that biological evolution and biblical orthodoxy can be compatible. As a pastor and evangelist, Keller takes these concerns seriously and offers suggestions for addressing them without requiring believers to adopt a particular view or accept a definitive answer.
Is There "Junk" in Your Genome? Part 4
Now that we have covered significant ground with respect to what various classes of pseudogenes are and how they arise, we are now able to properly evaluate antievolutionary arguments put forward in an attempt to discredit these lines of evidence for evolution.

Prophetic Artist Uses Pipe Cleaners In Fight Against Sexual Slavery
By: Alex Hayes
Updated: March 26, 2012
"The pipe cleaner rings really began as a way of blessing people," explains Prophetic Artist, Latimer Ramsey, "to be able to draw people in and tell people about Jesus."
But the simple gesture quickly became much more than a fun piece of jewelry.
"I was led to take one on a trip down, or take a whole bunch on a trip down to Belize," says Ramsey. "Slowly but surely, God has been revealing to me the different purposes."
Ramsey's pipe cleaner rings even made their way to Thailand, along with students from the Transformation School of Spiritual Ministry in Abilene, Texas.
"They went specifically to go down Walking Street, which has the highest concentration of prostitution in the world," says Ramsey.
Many of the men and women working on Walking Street have been held captive and forced into the sex trafficking industry in Thailand.
"The wonderful thing about pipe cleaners is that nobody has built up a resistance to a pipe cleaner, and so they're drawn to it," explains Ramsey.
The pipe cleaners provide the ministry teams with an open door to the people on Walking Street, allowing them to broach a much deeper subject matter.
"They can talk to them about who they really are, and their identity, and how valuable they are," says Ramsey. "Many of these people they encounter have never heard how valuable they were."
So what is it about pipe cleaners that make the difference? Ramsey says it has a lot to do with their colors.
"Each one has a prophetic meaning that has been placed in it by God," explains Ramsey. "So when they get to visit with people and tell them who they are and how valuable they are, things just change."
Ramsey shares the experience of a woman, who was about to enter in to prostitution for the first time in order to save her family.
"She broke down completely, and just said 'I don't want to do this, I want to give my life to Christ.'"
And to think, it all started with a simple conversation about a pipe cleaner.

Slam Dunc-anvill-ed: West's unbeaten run ends at the hands of defending champs
BY Kevin Hageland,
Published: Wednesday, December 5, 2012 12:24 PM CST
Despite winning four games at the Collin County Roundball Classic, finishing second in the tournament and bringing home a decent-sized trophy, the Plano West girls basketball team was in no mood for celebrating Saturday.
"The bus was pretty quiet on the way home," said Don Patterson, West head coach. "The girls felt they could play with that group and felt they should've played better."
The group in question is Duncanville, which beat West on Saturday, 61-55.
The Pantherettes lost only one game last year en route to the Class 5A State Championship, with that loss coming against the Lady Wolves in the finals of the Roundball Classic. Duncanville and West were both undefeated when they met again in the championship Saturday with the former ranked No. 1 in the state and the latter No. 3.
It was West's 0 that would go.
"We started the game shooting pretty well," Patterson said. "We hit some threes, but those can go away."
West trailed at the break, 36-33, before a huge third quarter from Duncanville turned that into a 50-38 deficit.
"We had a bad third quarter, but a lot of that had to do with their defense," Patterson said. "Duncanville is as good as they were last year, maybe even a little better."
At the forefront of the Duncanville surge was the trio of guards Ariel Atkins, Tasia Foman and Kiara Perry, all of whom scored 15 points. The Pantherettes also held a distinctive advantage on the boards as their lead got as high as 15 points.
The Lady Wolves, which improved to a program-best 15-0 earlier in the day by defeating Frisco Liberty in the semifinals, weren't out of it yet though.
"Our kids did what they always do and that's continue to fight," Patterson said.
Behind 19 points from junior Tyara Warren-Cox, who Patterson called, "probably the team's most consistent offensive and defensive player to date," West pulled to within four in the final minute. Duncanville hit enough of its free throws down the stretch though to pick up a 61-55 victory.
Freshman Natalie Chou, who was named all-tournament, and senior Devri Owens each scored 11 points in the finals while senior Allison Stanley dropped in eight points and sophomore Sydney Skinner put up six.
Patterson stayed positive after the loss.
"I could see the girls were down so I told them, 'that team is No. 1 in the state for a reason and now you know how you match up with No. 1,'" he said. "I know the girls were disappointed, but I still think we can play with any team in the state; now, whether we win or not will come down to how we execute the game plan down the stretch."
With four weeks until district even starts, expect that message to continue in practice.
"I constantly tell the girls, 'you can always do better than what you think you can do,'" Patterson said.
West, now No. 4 in the state, could prove that to the Pantherettes soon enough as the Lady Wolves are in the Duncanville-hosted Sandra Meadows Tournament Dec. 27-29.

RACINE, Ohio — A nice way to spend homecoming.
The Southern football team hosted Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division foe Miller Friday night at Roger Lee Adams Memorial Field for the Tornadoes homecoming game. SHS compiled 407 yards on its way to a 49-6 win over the visiting Falcons.
Miller (1-6, 1-4 TVC Hocking) received the opening kick off and began driving on the Tornadoes (2-5, 2-3), making it down to the SHS 25 yard line before penalties and sacks halted the MHS drive.
Southern took possession of the ball for the first time at 5:57 mark of the first period on its own 27 yard line. On the third play of the drive tailback Tyler Barton took the ball off of the right tackle and through the Miller defense for a 52 yard touchdown run. On a fake field goal play Trenton Deem completed the pass to Dennis Teaford for the two-point conversion, putting the purple and gold on top 8-0 at the 4:38 mark of the first.
Just three plays into the Falcons' next drive Garrett Sinift's pass was intercepted by Southern freshman Tyler O'Conner, who returned it 27 yards for the touchdown. Deem added the extra point kick, putting SHS up 15-0 at the 3:28 mark of the first.
After forcing a three-and-out the Tornadoes offense came back on the field with 1:10 remaining in the first period. A five yard run between the tackles on first and goal gave Tyler Barton his second score of the game. Deems kick was good and Southern extended its lead to 22-0 at the 11:54 mark of the second canto.
O'Conner interrupted Miller's offense again on the next drive, picking off his second pass of the game and giving the SHS offense the ball on the MHS 25 yard line. On the first play of the SHS drive Tristen Wolfe found O'Conner in the endzone for six points. Deem's kick was good and Southern held a commanding 29 point lead with 10:33 remaining in the half.
The Tornadoes got the ball on the MHS 11 yard line to begin their next drive, but a holding penalty sent them back to the 22. on third down and long Wolfe completed a playaction pass to Jack Lemley for 22 yard touchdown. Southern's drive that took 1:26 off the clock was capped off by Deem's extra point kick.
Southern was driving again just before the half but an ineligible man down field cost Southern another score. The Tornadoes led 36-0 at halftime.
Southern got the ball after the half and picked up right where the offense left off before halftime. Five straight handoffs to Tyler Barton to begin the drive had the Miller defense up in the box. Wolfe rolled out of the pocket on third down from the 27 yard line and found Deem on a curl route near the left side line. Deem out ran the MHS defense and found paydirt for a 73 yard touchdown catch. The point after touchdown attempt failed and Southern led 42-0 at the 9:27 mark of the third period.
The third period ended with the score still 42-0 but the Falcons were in the middle of a drive. At the 11:02 mark of the third period Sinift completed a fourth down pass to Skyler Hook for the score from 24 yards out. The two point conversion attempt failed and Miller trailed 42-6.
With the game well in hand and just 20 seconds remaining Southern opted against running out the clock. Quarterback Theron Johnson completed a touchdown pass to Teaford to add to the Tornadoes already insurmountable lead. Deems kick was good and the Tornadoes took the 49-6 victory.
Tyler Barton led the Tornadoes with 165 yards and two TD's on 20 carries, followed by Deem with five carries for 29 yards. Paul Ramthun had one carry for 23 yards, Thomas Ramthun had three carries for 20 yards, Wolfe ran four times for 15 yards and Ryan Billingsley ran three times for 10 yards. Jeremiah Warden had two carries for negative three yards.
Wolfe completed 3-of-7 pass attempts for 120 yards and two touchdowns for SHS, while Johnson connected on 2-of-2 pass attempts for 28 yards and a score.
Deem had one reception for 73 yards, O'Conner finished with two grabs for 47 yards and Teaford had two catches for 28 yards. All three SHS receivers had a touchdown grab.
Skylar Baker led Miller with 25 yards rushing on seven attempts, while Sinift was 8-of-18 threw the air with one touchdown, two interceptions, and 68 yards. Kody McKinnis led the Falcons with 6 grabs for 40 yards.
The Tornadoes out gained Miller in total yards 407-to-76, while holding a 10-7 advantage in first downs. Southern ran 38 times for 259 yards, while MHS ran 29 times for nine yards. SHS out-gained the Falcons 148-68 through the air. Miller had two fumbles on the night, however they recovered both of them. Both teams were penalized 11 times, Miller for 105 yards and Southern for 100 yards.
The 43 point margin of victory is the largest Southern has had since week four of the 2008 season when the Tornadoes defeated host Hannan 57-0.
The Southern victory snapped a four game skid, while this is Miller's third straight loss.
The Tornadoes return to action next week as they travel to face (2-5, 1-4) Waterford. Miller will host (5-2, 4-1) Federal Hocking.

*slaps forehead* I can't believe I didn't think of this. The simplest answer is often the best answer, ignoring them at this stage is perfect. Thanks E-Hellers.
'm curious why they wanted you to meet them at the hospital all the time. It just seems ... odd.
If they call back and try to get you to go to the ER to meet them ask why they need you there and what you could do?
As opposed to someone who did think of it not being a kind and compassionate person

It was funny to see the person posting it stress that it was not a Buttonwood and that person was so correct.
But that is MUCH to big for me. If I have to use two hands for a tree, it is a BIG one here.it will take two people to carry it out.

You can run the party!I run my own birthday party business. You can too!
Running a party includes greeting the guests, leading the games or crafts, and most important: crowd control! Not only is it fun but I also can make a nice profit doing it!
My business runs much the same way any other does in a more typical market. I offer services, plan pricing, and advertise my business.
Everybody loves a party...
...which makes it a great business!
The first thing is to decide what party services you can provide. You can offer these services:
- Selecting themes
- Making or buying, and sending invitations
- Planning and setting up home and table decorations
- Making favor bags
- Planning games and crafts
- Clean-up
What Should I Charge?
Figuring out how much to charge is the hardest thing. You probably will have to change your prices as you go along and get a better idea of how much time services take and how much money you have to spend.
I usually make my prices come out so I earn $10 an hour. I figure out how long each service usually takes and then assign it a price:
- Writing out invitations usually takes 30 minutes, so that service is $5.
- Setting up usually takes anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour, so the charge is listed as an hourly rate.
With each party, I get better at figuring out how long certain services take and I can revise my price list.
Once you decide the services you'll offer and what you'll charge, it's time to advertise. You want all possible customers to know what a great job you'll do.
Where do I start?
There are other ways to drum up business.
Start in your own neighborhood. Here's a great attention grabber:
Make a color flyer presenting your business name and a brief description of what you do. Then buy a bag of balloons. Put a flyer in each balloon and blow them up!
You can add a colorful ribbon and tie them to your neighbors' doors. It's sure to get their curiosity.
Or, hand deliver your flyers with a cupcake that has a birthday candle in it.
Make sure you give a flyer to everyone, even if they don't have small children. Remind them that they may know someone who would be interested.
Once you have clients, it is time to start planning...

Meningitis happens when the spinal column and brain's lining become inflamed. This lining is called the meninges. Aseptic meningitis occurs when there are signs of meningitis. However, when a sample of brain fluid is taken, bacteria or fungi are not seen or do not grow.

The most common causes of aseptic meningitis are:
Factors that can increase your chance of developing aseptic meningitis include:
If you have any of these symptoms, do not assume it is due to meningitis. These symptoms may be caused by other conditions.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Most cases of aseptic meningitis improve with time. If the cause of the meningitis is known, your doctor may prescribe medication. Treatment options include:
Note : Aspirin is not recommended for children or teens with a current or recent viral infection. This is because of the risk of Reye's syndrome . Ask your doctor which other medicines are safe for your child.
To help reduce your chance of getting aseptic meningitis, take the following steps:
