How Elephant Seals Are
Helping Scientists Study Climate Change
A group of southern elephant seals is
helping scientists monitor
how climate change is impacting Antarctica by tracking water temperature, depth, and salinity as they swim and dive around the frozen continent.
An elephant seal wearing a data tracker.
Most recently, data from the seals — which routinely dive to depths of 1,000 to 2,000 feet — showed that water melting off the Antarctic ice sheet is causing the surrounding seas to become less salty, disrupting a conveyor belt-like system that transfers heat and nutrients around the globe. The new findings were published this week in the journal
Nature Communications
. The elephant seal data, as well as records from monitoring devices on other marine mammals, have generated more than 500,000 vertical profiles of temperature and salinity in the world's oceans and helped inform nearly 100 scientific studies. ""At the moment it's all about filling gaps" in the environmental records, lead author Guy Williams of the University of Tasmania
told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation
. "The [seals] have gone to areas where we've never had an observation before."

Urine From Large Fish Critical
To Reef Health—And Fishing Is Reducing It
Studies have shown that large fish such as grouper, snapper, and barracuda release key nutrients essential for healthy coral reefs through their urine and body tissue.

new research in
Nature Communications
has found that in areas where fishing occurs, nearly half of these nutrients are missing from the reefs, threatening their well-being. The study was conducted by four U.S. scientists, who surveyed 143 fish species at 110 sites across 43 Caribbean coral reefs, with varying levels of fishing activity, from marine preserves where anglers are banned to heavily fished reefs. "This study is useful to understand alternative ways fishing is affecting coral reef ecosystems,"
said Jacob Allgeier
, an ecologist at the University of Washington and lead author of the new study. "Simply stated, fish biomass in coral reefs is being reduced by fishing pressure. If biomass is shrinking, there are fewer fish to pee."

Researchers Discover Ocean
Crust Dating Back 340 Million Years
Scientists have found what they believe is the world's oldest piece of ocean floor — dating to more than 300 million years ago — in the Mediterranean Sea.
The Herodotus Basin in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.
Because shifting tectonic plates continuously drag seafloor rock into the earth's mantle, most ocean crust is younger than 200 million years. The new discovery, found in the Herodotus Basin between Cyprus, Crete, and Egypt, indicates that area of seafloor is likely a remnant of the Tethys Ocean, which existed at the time of the Pangaea supercontinent, according to a
new study in the journal
Nature Geoscience
. To determine the rock's age, scientists
dragged a magnetometer
behind a research vessel on four different trips, measuring the magnetic signals in the underlying seafloor, and comparing them to signals of the African continental plate and the earth's shifting magnetic alignment over millions of years. They determined that the oceanic crust in the Herodotus Basin is between 315 and 365 million years old.

Shipping Noise Causes Whales
To Dive More Slowly and Forage Less
Ocean noise caused by shipping can cause humpback whales to dive more slowly and forage less frequently, according to
new research
in the journal
Biology Letters
A humpback whale diving.
A team of U.S. and U.K. researchers tagged 10 humpbacks in Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, off the coast of Massachusetts, with devices that simultaneously tracked the whales' movements and underwater noise. They found that
as ship noise increased
, the whales dove 15 percent more slowly and did one-third fewer side-roll feedings, a foraging technique humpbacks use to catch fish near the seafloor. The findings are the latest addition to a
growing list of negative impacts
from ocean noise on marine mammals, including disrupted communication, higher stress levels, and increased vulnerability as acoustic pollution masks predator movement. "Chronic impacts of even small reductions in foraging efficiency could affect individual fitness and translate to population-level effects on humpback whales," the scientists wrote.

either on land or close to shore, could be given heritage status and UNESCO protection. But ecosystems within the open ocean, which covers more than half the planet, deserve similar classification, UNESCO says. In a new report,
World Heritage in the High Seas: An Idea Whose Time Has Come
, the organization presents five biodiversity hotspots—many of which are at risk from climate change, pollution, over-fishing, and deep-sea mining—worthy of recognition: the Costa Rica Thermal Dome; the White Shark Café, a shark gathering point in the Pacific Ocean; the Sargasso Sea; the Lost City Hydrothermal Field, with its 200-foot carbonate towers, in the Atlantic Ocean; and the Atlantis Bank, a sunken fossil island, in the Indian Ocean.

Roughly 2 Percent of U.S. Homes
At Risk from Sea Level Rise, Report Finds
Almost 1.9 million homes in the U.S. — roughly 2 percent of the nation's housing stock, worth $882 billion — could be underwater by 2100 with six feet of sea level rise,
Boston homes at risk of flooding.
according to a
new report by Zillow
, an online real estate database. One in eight Florida homes, representing $413 billion in property value, could flood by the end of the century. In Hawaii, one in 10 homes are at risk and in New Jersey, one in 13. The new analysis is based on climate projections and mapping from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, as well as Zillow's database of 100 million U.S. properties. It found coastal cities, such as Miami and Honolulu, are particularly vulnerable to sea level rise. More than 1 in 6 Boston homes could be underwater by 2100. These estimates don't include commercial buildings or government properties.

Bacteria in Sea Ice Could Play
Role in Mercury Pollution in Oceans
Scientists have discovered bacteria living in Antarctic sea ice that could play a role in mercury contamination of fish, birds, and other marine species.
Antarctic sea ice.
The bacteria,
, can transform mercury found in sea ice — originating from sources such as coal-fired power plants — into the more toxic methylmercury. The heavy metal pollutant—which impacts brain development and can cause mental and physical ailments—accumulates in higher concentrations in marine life as it moves up through the food chain. The findings were
published Monday in the journal
Nature Microbiology
by scientists at the University of Melborne, the U.S. Geological Survey, and Lawrence Livermore National Lab. John Moreau, a geomicrobiologist at the University of Melbourne who helped lead the study,
said in a statement
that the findings beg further study into the sources and behavior of mercury in the oceans, "particularly in a warming climate and when depleted fish stocks means more seafood companies are looking south."

South Africa's Great White
Shark Population At Risk of Extinction
South Africa's great white sharks are at risk of disappearing due to pollution, human interference, and a limited gene pool, according to a new study in the journal
Marine Ecology Progress Series
A great white shark.
Scientists from Stellenbosch University spent six years tracking great white populations in Gansbaai, a fishing town and shark hotspot in western South Africa. They estimated there are 350 to 520 great whites remaining along the country's coastline — 52 percent fewer than previously thought. "The numbers… are extremely low. If the situation stays the same, South Africa's great white sharks are heading for possible extinction," Sara Andreotti, a marine biologist and lead author of the study,
said in a statement
. The scientists said shark nets, poaching, habitat encroachment, pollution, and loss of food were all to blame for the sharks' demise. Low genetic diversity among the remaining sharks would make it difficult for the population to bounce back, they said.

In South Florida, where porous limestone geology and sea level rise are already causing periodic flooding, he has a rapt audience. The chief meteorologist of the NBC affiliate station in Miami, Morales uses his broadcasts and Twitter feed to tie weather trends in South Florida to the broader influences of climate change. In an interview with
Yale Environment 360
, Morales discusses a heartening shift away from climate change skepticism among the nation's television weather forecasters, the positive public reaction to his discussion of climate change, and the daunting threats facing the Miami area, ranked as

transforming the remaining oil
into a more toxic substance that hinders the development of heart, eye, and brain function in fish. The research, led by scientists at the University of California, Riverside and the University of Miami, exposed embryos and larvae of mahi-mahi from the Gulf of Mexico to what they called weathered (exposed to years of sunlight) and un-weathered oil (taken from the drilling site) from the Deepwater Horizon spill in 2010. Compared to fish exposed to un-weathered oil, the fish exposed to the weathered oil experienced impaired eye and neurological function, reduced heart rates, and a buildup of excess fluid in the heart.

As Oceans Become More Acidic,
Mussels Could Lose Ability to Hang On
Rising carbon dioxide emissions have caused the world's oceans to become
30 percent more acidic
since the Industrial Revolution, affecting everything from marine life's
ability to build shells
Trossulus byssus
to the pH level of fishes' blood. Now, scientists have discovered that more acidic water also
prevents mussels from attaching
to rocks and other surfaces, which could have ramifications on the global food chain, the economy, and ecosystem health. Oceans today have a pH of about 8.1. When the pH drops below 7.6, the adhesive plaque that cements mussels to hard surfaces becomes weaker, according to the new research by scientists at the University of Washington. Unattached mussels are easy prey for predators like crabs, fish, and sea stars. Mussels play an important role in filtering pollutants from waterways. They are also a critical food source for coastal communities, with the industry worth an estimated $1.4 billion.

Scientists Discover Contagious
Cancer in More Species of Shellfish
Last year, scientists discovered a type of contagious cancer in soft-shell clams in which free-floating cells transmitted the disease from one animal to another.
Now, a team of Columbia University researchers is reporting that contagious cancers in the ocean
may be more common than previously thought
and can not only jump from animal to animal, but across species. According to the new study published in Nature, the leukemia-like cancer, known as disseminated neoplasia, has been found in three more species of bivalves: mussels, cockles, and golden carpet shell clams. The cancer cells were genetically distinct from their hosts, indicating they originated elsewhere. Transmissible cancer had previously been found in
Tasmanian devils
and dogs, but there's no indication that humans are at risk. "I would only worry deeply if I was a mollusk," Stephen P. Goff, a molecular biologist at Columbia University and co-author of the study,

Unable to Endure Rising Seas,
Alaskan Villages Stuck in Limbo
A number of Alaska Native villages have been impacted so severely by sea-level rise and other climate-induced threats, they have decided to relocate.
Robin Bronen
But there is no U.S. agency designated to help pay for and implement an entire community's move. Robin Bronen, a senior scientist with
The Institute of Arctic Biology
at the University of Alaska, says that's a huge problem. In an interview with
Yale Environment 360
, she explains that because there is no government process to facilitate such relocations, none of these villages have been able to move, despite their resolve to do so. And in a bureaucratic Catch-22, these communities no longer receive the infrastructure repair funds they were once entitled to. Pointing to future sea level rise along U.S. coasts, Bronen says that "if we don't figure out how to create this relocation institutional framework, we're talking about humanitarian crises for millions of people living in the United States."

Some Coral Reef "Bright Spots"
Remain, Despite Devastating Bleaching
After decades of being overfished and mismanaged, and the worst bleaching event on record this year, scientists
reported in the journal
this week
that there remain some "bright spots" among the world's coral reefs
Coral reef on the Palmyra Atoll in the Pacific.
– systems that are doing better than anyone expected. The study examined 18 different factors at 2,514 reefs in 46 nations, including water depth, tourism, fishing, and population density. Those systems that were still thriving — defined by the scientists as having more fish than expected — tended to be managed by, and accessible only to, local fishermen and indigenous groups. This included reefs in places like the Solomon Islands, parts of Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Kiribati. "There's been a narrative about local involvement, but it's often very token," Joshua Cinner, a research fellow at James Cook University in Australia and lead author of the study,

Fish Can Recognize Human
Faces, According to One New Study
Fish now join humans, monkeys, primates, and birds as one of the few animals able to distinguish faces, according to
new research published in the journal
Scientific Reports
this week.
James St. John/Wikimedia
The skill requires a sophisticated
combination of perception and memory
— and generally, a neocortex. But scientists at the University of Oxford in England and the University of Queensland in Australia were able to train archerfish to recognize human faces, despite the fact that these tropical fish don't have complex brain structures. Archerfish typically feed by spitting water at prey, like insects. So the scientists taught the fish to spray water at images of particular human faces in exchange for food. Archerfish identified the correct person 81 percent of the time.

Sea Ice Hits New Spring Low
In the Arctic, Says Federal Agency
Sea ice extent in the Arctic hit a new record spring low last month, measuring 537,000 square miles below average — an area twice the size of Texas, the
National Snow and Ice Data Center announced this week
Sea ice breaking up in the Beaufort Sea in May.
Last month's Arctic sea ice extent was the lowest May sea ice measurement since satellite monitoring began 38 years ago and follows a string of record low ice this winter. "We didn't just break the old May record, we're way below the previous one," NSIDC Director Mark Serreze
told Climate Central
. The Arctic's snow cover also hit record lows this year, with April having the lowest snow cover for that month on record and May the fourth lowest. The Arctic has warmed twice as fast as the rest of the world in recent decades, but scientists say that this year's strong El Niño in the Pacific Ocean could be ramping up temperatures even more. Temperatures at the pole have been
4 to 11 degrees F above average
this winter. "Will we end up with very low sea ice extent this September?" Serreze said. "I think pretty much absolutely."

Fish Choose Plastic Over
Zooplankton in Polluted Waters
Fish that grow up in waters full of plastic particles develop a taste for trash, choosing to eat plastic over zooplankton, their natural food source, according to a
study published in the journal
Oona Lönnstedt
The research, by ecologists at Uppsala University in Swedish, found larval perch from the Baltic Sea exposed to microplastic pollution (less than 5mm in size) had stunted growth, were less active, ignored the smell of predators, and experienced increased mortality rates. Plastic pollution has become a major problem in the world's oceans, but scientists are just beginning to understand how these fragments can affect the health of marine species. "If early life-history stages of other species are similarly affected by microplastics, and this translates to increased mortality rates, the effects on aquatic ecosystems could be profound,"
said ecologist Oona Lönnstedt
, lead author of the study.

Increasing Hurricane Damage
Could Strain U.S. Emergency Relief Budget
As hurricane season in the U.S. officially got underway this week, federal financial experts warned that damage from tropical storms will "increase significantly in the coming decades" due to human-driven climate change, and that such a trend could threaten the national emergency relief budget.
New Jersey National Guard
"Over time, the costs associated with hurricane damage will increase more rapidly than the economy will grow," the
report from the U.S. Congressional Budget Office states
. Right now, damage from hurricanes amounts to 0.16 percent of the U.S. GDP, or about $28 billion. As sea levels rise, intense storms become more frequent, and coastal development continues, the report estimates this share could reach .25 percent ($45 billion in today's economy) by 2075. The federal agency suggested that one way to cut costs is "a coordinated effort to significantly reduce global emissions."

Brewing Company Creates
Edible Six-Pack Rings to Save Wildlife
Plastic six-pack rings have long been a nuisance to wildlife and ecosystems, fouling oceans and shorelines, and entangling and choking wildlife.
Now, a brewery in Florida has developed an
edible version from the byproducts of making beer
, including wheat and barely. If not eaten by marine creatures, the six-pack ring biodegrades.
Saltwater Brewery
3-D printed 500 of the holders in April and plans to scale up production to package all of its 400,000 cans of beer per month in the edible rings. The material is just as strong as traditional plastics, the brewery says, but is more expensive. The price would drop, however, as more companies use the edible rings, the brewery said. "We want to influence the big guys," Chris Goves, president of Saltwater Brewery, said in a video about the new project. "And hopefully inspire them to get on board."

Norwegian Company Building
The World's Largest Floating Wind Farm
Scotland is about to get the world's largest floating wind farm, with five 6-megawatt turbines bobbing 15 miles offshore in the North Sea.
The project—which is being developed by Statoil, a Norwegian energy company—marks a shift in offshore wind technology. Most ocean-based turbines to date have been rooted to the sea floor by concrete and steel foundations, similar to oil and gas rigs. But this design limits the projects to shallower waters. Statoil's floating turbines, known at Hywind, consist of a steel cylinder filled with ballast water and stones, and are tethered to the sea floor by a series of cables. The company,
which was granted a lease to build the wind farm this week
, will install the Scotland project in water more than 300 feet deep. The plan is for the wind farm to start generating electricity by the end of 2017.

Pacific Northwest Starfish Seem
Set for Comeback After Deadly Disease
Two years after a virus
devastated colonies of starfish
along the U.S. west coast, the population is showing early signs of a comeback, at least in some areas.
The number of juveniles in the Pacific Northwest is "off the charts,"
said Bruce Menge
, a marine biologist at Oregon State University. "Higher than we'd ever seen — as much as 300 times normal," Menge said. Young starfish usually have to compete with adults for food. But with up to 84 percent of the adult population wiped out from an outbreak of "sea star wasting disease" two years ago, juveniles have had abundant resources to thrive, Menge and his colleagues reported in a recent
journal. However, the researchers warn starfish populations aren't entirely in the clear. "Whether they can make it into adulthood and replenish the population without succumbing to sea star wasting disease is the big question," Menge said in a statement.

A Sea Urchin's Mouth Could
Make it Easier to Study Distant Planets
Sea urchins have long inspired awe among scientists for their ability to chew through almost anything, from entire kelp forests to rocks. Their mouths — comprised of a ring of intricate muscles and five curved, pointed teeth —
UC San Diego
operate like a giant claw in an arcade game. Now scientists have designed a
new space-exploration device based on the urchins' teeth
that will make it easier to collect sediment samples on other planets, like Mars. "Our goal was a bio-inspired device that's more precise and efficient at grabbing ground samples, and won't disturb the surrounding area like a shovel" — the tool space vehicles like the Mars rovers currently use,
Michael Frank, an engineer at the University of California, San Diego. The technology, based on 3D scans of pink sea urchins, has five claws with beveled edges that gather and trap material in a smooth, quick motion.

Half of All Farmed Fish Have
Deformed Ear Bones That Cause Hearing Loss
Farmed fish have become an increasingly larger share of the world's seafood market in recent decades—now accounting for 50 percent of global seafood consumption.
At the same time, however, debate about the ethics, safety and health of farmed fish versus their wild counterparts has also intensified. A
new study
published in the journal
Nature Scientific Reports
finds that half of all farmed Atlantic salmon have deformed ear bones that lead to hearing loss. These salmon are 10 times more likely to have the deformity than wild fish. The findings "raise questions about the welfare of farmed animals,"
Tim Dempster, a biologist at the University of Melbourne involved in the study. It may also explain why efforts to boost wild populations by releasing farmed juveniles have proven unsuccessful. Hearing loss would prevent farmed fish from detecting predators, or restrict their ability to navigate to breeding sites, the scientists said.
From Mass Coral Bleaching,
A Scientist Looks for Lessons
Twice a year, Georgia Tech climate scientist Kim Cobb travels to Christmas Island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean to collect samples from coral reefs to better understand past and future climate change.
Kim Cobb
But when Cobb arrived on the island earlier this month, she was stunned. The corals she had spent the past 18 years studying were largely dead or dying. The scene has become a familiar one across the Pacific and Indian oceans this year as a record-breaking El Niño drove up water temperatures and caused fragile coral reef systems to bleach from stress or die. In an interview with
Yale Environment 360
, Cobb talked about the recent bleaching event, the race to make reefs more resilient, and how coral records could improve short-term climate projections. "What you think reefs might be experiencing in 20 years," she says, "they're experiencing now."

Scientists Reimagine The
Tree of Life With New Microbe Knowledge
Following years of intense exploration and research into the microbial world,
scientists have reimagined the tree of life
—the iconic visual representation of the living world first proposed by Charles Darwin in 1859.
Banfield/UC Berkeley
The new tree of life.
The project was led by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, who over the last decade have been gathering DNA from across the globe—from everywhere from meadow soils and river mud to deep sea vents—to reconstruct genomes and describe thousands of new microbial species. Curious how their findings fit into the tree of life, the scientists
used a supercomputer
to visualize how more than 3,000 new and known species related to one another. They discovered that eukaryotes, the group that includes humans, exist on a thin twig compared to the microbial branch of the tree. "The tree of life as we know it has dramatically expanded due to new genomic sampling of previously enigmatic or unknown microbial lineages," the authors

More Than 50 Percent of
Great Barrier Reef Affected By Bleaching
Record high ocean temperatures in the western Pacific have caused more than half of the Great Barrier Reef to undergo a mass coral bleaching event this year,
according to a team of Australian scientists
conducting aerial surveys.
ARC Coral Reef Studies
An aerial shot of the Great Barrier Reef in early April.
Corals thrive in a narrow temperature range, and when waters warm above normal—as they have this year from climate change and a strong El Nino—the organisms expel their symbiotic algae, leaving them without a source of food and susceptible to disease. Scientists' next step is studying the corals up close to determine how deep the bleaching is,
Terry Hughes, a marine biologist at James Cook University and head of the Australian coral bleaching task force. "If the corals are severely bleached, then a lot will die," Hughes said. "If they are lightly bleached, which is the case with a lot of reefs south of Townsville, then they'll regain their color over the next couple of months and there won't be much mortality."

El Nino Prevents Phytoplankton
Growth, Endangering Marine Food Web
El Nino—the cyclical warming of the Pacific Ocean—has
wreaked havoc on the world's weather
for the past two years, from a record-breaking number of cyclones in the North Pacific to flooding in South America.
Uz/NASA Goddard
Satellite images of phytoplankton growth.
But scientists at NASA
recently discovered
that the climate phenomenon also has a big impact on phytoplankton, the tiny oceanic organisms that serve as the base of the marine food chain. Normally, ocean currents drive cold, deep water to the surface near the equator, bringing with it a flood of nutrients that feed phytoplankton. El Nino's mass of warm water stops this upwelling. The result is a marked drop in phytoplankton levels. "This decline echoes through many species," said Stephanie Uz, an ocean scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland who led the study. "Small fish that feed on phytoplankton starve. This affects everything from penguin and iguana populations in the Galapagos to governments managing fisheries."

A New, Multi-Colored Way To
Study Cell Regeneration in Zebrafish
Zebrafish have amazing healing capabilities—they can grow back missing limbs and patch an injured heart or spine—but scientists have long been in the dark as to how exactly this process works.

An engineered zebrafish with multi-colored skin.
Now, a team of scientists at Duke University engineered neurons to create a
zebrafish with skin that fluoresces in thousands of colors
in order to visually illustrate how cells regenerate after injury. They found there are three steps to the process: skin cells from neighboring body parts migrate in to cover the new tissue, surviving cells grow in size, and new cells are created. "It is like you have given each cell an individual barcode,"
Chen-Hui Chen, a postdoctoral fellow at Duke and lead author on the study. "You can precisely see how individual cells collectively behave during regeneration."
Interview: How Ocean Noise
Wreaks Havoc on Marine Life
Bowing to public pressure, the Obama administration recently reversed an earlier decision to allow oil drilling off the U.S. East Coast. But the five-year moratorium on drilling does not prohibit exploratory seismic air gun surveys
Christopher Clark
used to locate oil and gas reserves under the seabed, and those surveys are expected to be authorized this spring. Cornell University marine bioacoustics expert Christopher Clark says the testing, which can go on for weeks at a time, will only add to the rising din in the oceans. "Imagine that every 10 seconds there is an explosion that is rattling grandma's china out of the cupboard," he says, "and it is falling on the floor." In an interview with
Yale Environment 360
, Clark explains how noise, most of it from ship traffic, severely disrupts marine life, especially among whales. But the good news, he says, is that technologies are being developed to drastically reduce the noise from ships and geological surveying.

Jews and the Catholic Church. The Rabbis of Italy Don't Like This Pope
OMA, January 16, 2009 In the area of geopolitics, the war in Gaza has sharpened the disagreements between the Catholic Church and Israel, as www.chiesa showed in its article on January 4.
The hope is that Benedict XVI's trip to the Holy Land, thought to be scheduled for May, will diminish the mutual misunderstandings. Meanwhile, however, mainly because of Israeli intransigence, there is no progress in the negotiations to implement the 1993 accords between the Holy See and Israel. Nor is there any sign of the willingness to remove from the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem the caption dismissing Pius XII as an accomplice of the Nazi extermination of the Jews.
But even on the most strictly religious terrain, the relationship between the two sides is strewn with obstacles. For January 17, the Italian bishops' conference has announced a "Day for the exploration and development of dialogue between Catholics and Jews." This day has been held every year since 1990, since 2001 the Italian Jewish community has been promoting it together with the bishops, and in 2005 both sides agreed on a ten-year program of reflection on the Ten Commandments. But this time, the Catholic Church is alone. The assembly of Italian rabbis, headed by Giuseppe Laras, has decided to "suspend" Jewish participation in the event.
Laras announced the withdrawal of support last November 18, during a conference on interreligious dialogue held in Rome in the chamber of deputies. And he attributed this to Benedict XVI's decision to introduce into the ancient rite for Good Friday the invocation that God may "enlighten" the hearts of the Jews, "so that they may recognize Jesus Christ, savior of all men."

get over it Rabbis. It is a prayer, nothing more...
if they need someone to b!tch and moan about, look to Islam.
I know, I know. Those Jews keep insisting upon defending themselves from the Hamas monsters' attacks... /s
This would be a perfect time for Jews and Christians to unite. For some reason we're blowing it again.
Not quite. Just another attempt at conversion by the church.
the decision of the assembly of Italian rabbis to suspend their support for the day of Jewish-Christian reflection on January 17 was also move in this direction: "to remove the misunderstanding that Christians and Jews must dialogue on the theological level as well."
The church never stops prosyletizing Jews. And no, Jews won't "get over it".
Serene? If you call living under the bootheel of Muslims serene. Maimonides had a very different opinion.
From a religious perspective there's really nothing for Jews and Christians to unite over. Remember — We're talking about two religious groups whose basic religious tenets are diametrically opposed to each other.
And no, Jews won't "get over it".
right, but Jewish folks will be on the forefront of gun bans and vote in droves for people like Barack Hussein Obama. there is a fatal flaw it appears that make Jewish folks ready to jump into cattle cars....I don't understand this at all, but your are ready to blame Catholics for all your problems.
"The Rabbis of Italy Don't Like This Pope"
Sometimes I think receiving the dislike of Jews is a sure sign you're living out the gospel.
I guess I've grown cynical.
I'm sorry if the rabbis object to BXVI's conservatism (such as it is), but would be happy to hear that they don't like his interpretation of Genesis. Unfortunately, I doubt that has anything to do with this.
We think our religion says that we have a direct command from God to proselytize Jews, and everyone else.
Your think your religion says you have a direct command from God to resist that proselytism.
Muslims think their religion says they have a direct command from God to kill you.
Given that information, you can go ahead and decide who your friends are, and aren't, on your own.
"Nor is there any sign of the willingness to remove from the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem the caption dismissing Pius XII as an accomplice of the Nazi extermination of the Jews."
So, saving thousands of Jews personally (even hiding them in your house as Pius did) means you're an accomplice of the Nazis?
get over it Rabbis. It is a prayer, nothing more...
Not quite. Just another attempt at conversion by the church.
the decision of the assembly of Italian rabbis to suspend their support for the day of Jewish-Christian reflection on January 17 was also move in this direction: "to remove the misunderstanding that Christians and Jews must dialogue on the theological level as well."
The church never stops prosyletizing Jews. And no, Jews won't "get over it".
As a Noachide who was Catholic for six years (and therefore no big fan of Catholicism), I must nevertheless repeat my astonishment at the fact that Catholicism proselytizes (because it believes it is true) is considered offensive. Many different religions and secular causes as well proselytize. It's a normal part of human life. As long as no one is forcing anyone to convert against their will or persecuting anyone, why should any religion or cause that believes it is just be required to stop "proselytizing?" Would that Jews were as proselytary for the Noachide Laws!
All this being said, I cannot help but point out that Catholics react to Protestant missionaries in the exact way that Jews do to chr*stian proselytizers. One would think this would strike them as ironic but they never seem to notice.
So why is it that the Catholic Church seems to be the only church in America that doesn't proselytize? And why to Catholics scream bloody murder every time some poor sap knocks at their door and asks "are you saved?"
We do proselytize, although perhaps not in the way you're used to seeing Protestants do it. (There are theological reasons for that; it's not only cultural.)
And why to Catholics scream bloody murder every time some poor sap knocks at their door and asks "are you saved?"
Because those Catholics are the ones who don't know their faith.
Could have fooled me. I certainly had to make every move on my own when I investigated Catholicism.
although perhaps not in the way you're used to seeing Protestants do it. (There are theological reasons for that; it's not only cultural.)
If you're referring to the tendency of the liturgical churches to increase membership via treaties signed between the heads of churches (by which masses of people go to bed as members of one church and wake up as members of another without even being aware of it) then I must admit that I prefer the Protestant way.
On an unrelated issue, people who think that the relationship between Jews and Muslims is "serene" or "productive" should read this.
I know, I know. Those Jews keep insisting upon defending themselves from the Hamas monsters' attacks... /s
Oh, stop! How does the refusal to implement accords already signed by Israel on the treatment of Christian sites and institutions relate to defending themselves from Hamas?
The Only one who will be successful to most Jews on who Jesus Christ truly is will be GOD himself.
But the Church should prosyletize to Jews and Gentiles as Jews and Christians should prosyletizie to Atheists and Agnostics and Pagans...IMO..
Everyone should know about GOD and Jesus Christ but what they decide to do about it is up to them as GOD gave us that will which is FREE...
As a circumcised Jew, who taught Jewish prayer - "Our Father..." -, who refered to Torah constantly, who ate as a Jew, who kept shabbas, who gave kiddush....
And look how the Jews treated Him.
Not least the Romans, who, barely mentioned, were after all, foreign invaders. But we shouldn't let a little thing like that get in the way of Jew hatred, eh?
You wrote:
"But we shouldnt let a little thing like that get in the way of Jew hatred, eh?"
Do you hate Jews? I don't. I also don't assume Jews are perfect just because they're Jews. The hatred here seems to be from Jews toward Pius XII. And what did he do to deserve that? He saved Jews, but not enough? Someone now can say he didn't do enough I suppose, but saving thousands of Jews at great personal risk to yourself seems to me to be a worthwhile thing for which Jews should be grateful.
But that wasn't always the case, was it???
Anyone who reads the scriptures can see that it is prophesied that Jesus will reign from the Throne of David in Jerusalem, on Earth...And that's what it's all about...
Some religions vehemently deny these prophecies and for good reason...
The muxlims want Jerusalem so bad they are willing to die to get it...
And it must really rub the one in Rome, the 'vicar of Christ', the 'holy father' to have to sit on a throne in Italy instead of Jerusalem...
Wow. Overgeneralize much?
Seeing how the Holy Father does not pretend to be Christ--and knows he is not Christ--he has no reason to be irritated that he has no throne in Jerusalem.
Good grief, Campion, what a perfectly poisonous little thread this is.
Just wow.
As a former Catholic, you might find this link of use:
Try it and see what you find.

Sorry. I've been under the weather a little while.
No problem. I hope you feel better soon! It stinks to feel sick on the weekend.
You know, sometimes I get the strangest feeling that you don't like me.
Oh, cont rare, I can guarantee you he has great concern about your eternal salvation, which ultimately involves great love.
Just wow.
And what's really weird is that I actually entered it on the Catholics' side. I guess no good deed goes unpunished.
I believe Judaism is true and chr*stianity (including Catholicism) is false. But until chr*stians come to recognize this it is nothing short of cruel to demand that they stop doing what they sincerely believe G-d wants them to do. It's like demanding Jews stop reciting Shema` or laying tefillin.
And the condemnation of a Catholic prayer for the conversion of the Jews is just plain silly. Only someone who believes that G-d endorses Catholicism would be afraid it might actually result in Jewish conversion to that religion. Meanwhile, Orthodox Jews pray in the `Aleynu prayer three times every day for the nations of the world to forsake their idols and false "gxds" and embrace Melekh Malkhei HaMelakhim (the King of the Kings of the Kings), HaQadosh Barukh Hu' (the Holy One, Blessed is He), and so far as I know no chr*stians are squawking about it. Though there was a while in the Middle Ages when part of the prayer was censored by chr*stian authorities. But at least those chr*stian authorities did it in the name of their "one true religion" rather than in the name of "tolerance and pluralism."
He has a cussed strange way of showing it sometimes.
But anyway, since I can't in good conscience believe in evolution or that the Bible contains mythology or mistakes of any kind, that pretty much disqualifies me from ever being Catholic, doesn't it?
Sorry. No way does the Catholic Church want a Bible-thumping redneck as a member. And boy, did I find that out the hard way!
This might help. Especially the Spiritual Works of Mercy: Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy
Sorry, but all the "works of mercy" in the world won't change my mind that the Word of G-d has no errors. And I'm sorry that so many Catholics find that position so horrifying.
The Word of God has no errors. Those who take upon themselves to develop their own personal magisterical false interpretation of Holy Scripture to suit their own level of comfort are where the error comes in.
Shhh. You'll be excommunicated! ;-)
I think not. But that does explain a certain ignorance on the part of those who hate Christ's Church.
Especially when they've seen it from the inside.
It's been like this for a long time. There was a time when I thought the people on here were so spiritual and really had the love of the gospel in their ways but not so much anymore. On all aspects of freerepublic there seems to be a lot of malice and way too much pride. If we as Christians come across as more hateful than loving somehow I think we have missed the point. I suppose being a Catholic on here is very much like the anti-christ. I share my faith by the way I live and love,always asking the Lord to guide me because I believe we are all miserable imperfect creatures.
One may choose to hate Christ's Church. I'll not put him to the cross in that manner.
Who is punishing you?
I didn't have a chance to extend my greetings to you. I think Der Bingel said it best:
Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
On a bright Hawai'ian Christmas Day...
Here's just one insulting term for non-Jews by Jews is shiksa (feminine)- shkutz (masculine). It means loathsome or abomination and usually used to refer to a non-Jewish woman who is dating or married to a Jewish man. There are more...
Personally, I will continue to follow my religion and pray, not only for Jews but all w/mankind for conversion, whether it's in the Mass or not. Nothing anyone can do to stop me other than killing me and I leave that for the radical Muslim.

Pikake flowers are the traditional blossoms used for making Leis in Hawaii. This fragrance evokes that sweet welcome as you step off the plane and begin a relaxing, fun-filled vacation.
This fragrance was one of the winners from the Summer 2012 S.O.A.P. panel. It reminded one of the testers of carnation flowers and another tester picked out the jasmine notes. Many noted that this was a deep floral as opposed to a light floral and it stuck in Cold Process soap nicely. Slight yellow discoloration in CP.
Flashpoint: +200°F

It's one of my favorite fragrances, very lovely!
The smell out of the bottle is not particularly pikake or Jasmine floral - it's more fake. In CP soap, it really warms up and the jasmine comes to the fore. That said, simple cold process @ 125, with no waxes or additives accelerated like a Indy sprint car and then blew up and out of the mold 10 minutes later. In 15 years of soaping, I've never seen this, so it was surprising and funny, but the soap is super ugly now. Maybe a rebatch, or maybe it'll cut out nice enough. Lovely scent - tricky chemistry :)
This fragrance oil is to die for. It smells great! That being said work FAST! SUPER FAST! A girlfriend and I decided to use it in cold process. I only took it to a light trace but within less than 10 minutes it was gloppy. We were trying to do a 2 color swirl so I would have preferred it to move a little less quickly.
I hate most florals. This actually smells like a real, sweet white flower. It's SO good. Smells very pikake OOB, but in soap it's so sweet and a little milder. DEFINITELY A KEEPER.
I love floral scents, but it's always hard to find something natural. This is awesome. I mixed with a little bit of English rose and smells like paradise without overpowering.

upper arm wrinkles
July 20, 2009 at 7:02 pm in Healthy Living by AnnaS
I would like to ask for help with upper arm wrinkles. I do yoga daily and lift 10-lb weights every other day, but my age shows in my arms. I have tried all sorts of wrinkle creams and wraps. I now have to wear short sleeves even in the summer to hide my ugly arms. I have tried to Google this for a remedy but can find nothing helpful. I see other ladies my age and older — 63 years young — with wrinkle-free arms. What is their secret?

The battery compartment for this item is somewhat snug. When batteries are inserted, it is easy to compress the (-) terminal against the spring to the point where the (+) terminal does not make contact, thus rendering the unit inoperative. After inserting the batteries, make sure both (+) terminals are resting against the contact in the battery holder, all will work fine.

Though the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) may well be indispensable for nonproliferation, its membership of mainly wealthy nations sometimes provokes suspicion in the developing world. Can the NSG contribute to nonproliferation and also remain fair to developing countries?
The author argues that if the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is to survive, it must be implemented more comprehensively and verification procedures must become less discriminatory.
Charles Forsberg suggests that nuclear energy holds the kernel of energy independence, that it can be a force for peace, and that it can remove "energy demands as a cause of war," citing the West's oil interests in the Middle East as a reason for military interventions.
The Islamic Republic of Iran stands at the threshold to the bomb. In 2010 it had more than enough low-enriched uranium (some 2,152 kilograms) to make its first bomb's worth of weapons-grade uranium. The LEU would have become highly enriched uranium in roughly 10 weeks had it been fed into the 4,186 centrifuges then operating. Thousands of other centrifuges are also known to be operating at the Natanz secret nuclear facility.

The garden warbler (Sylvia borin) is a common and widespread small bird that breeds in most of Europe and in western Asia. It is a plain, long-winged and long-tailed typical warbler with brown upperparts and dull white underparts; the sexes are similar and juveniles resemble the adults. Its two subspecies differ only slightly and interbreed where their ranges overlap. Due to its lack of distinguishing features, this species can be confused with a number of other...

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - A company representing Texas A&M Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel has filed a lawsuit to stop the sale of T-shirts using his ``Johnny Football'' nickname.
Manziel's company filed the trademark for ``Johnny Football'' on March 2, and it is pending. JMAN2 Enterprises attorney Bennett White said the website has not followed a cease-and-desist letter, the Bryan-College Station Eagle reported (bit.ly/YZ6w7Q ).
The NCAA recently ruled that Manziel could keep the money from a lawsuit without forfeiting his amateur status. It is unclear how much Manziel could take home if he wins the lawsuit, but White pointed out that there is no award ceiling in federal court.
White said the lawsuit is to protect Manziel, and that the company is operated by a manager so that the quarterback can focus on college. However, White said that Manziel was aware of the lawsuit and stands behind it.
``The reason to seek damages would be to avoid having to file lots and lots of lawsuits because people may be willing to monitor their behavior and honor their rights,'' White said.
Shane Hinckley, Texas A&M assistant vice president of business development, said Texas A&M has sent more than 60 cease-and-desist letters concerning Manziel and has removed more than 900 items off EBay. The university is not part of the lawsuit against Vaughan.
Still, the university and Manziel's lawyers have their eye on others who are profiting off the ``Johnny Football'' name.
``There are other incidences similar to this that are being reviewed for possible additional legal litigation by both parties,'' Hinckley said.

There may not be a more polarizing team in all of college football than the Boise State Broncos.
They burst onto the national college football scene in 2007 after an epic win against Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl, and their legitimacy has been debated ever since.
The Broncos played in the WAC prior to their move to the Mountain West, which starts this year, and the WAC was incredibly weak. Yet they kept beating the nation's best all across the country.
Kellen Moore is one of the nation's best and most efficient quarterbacks and is on pace to shatter multiple NCAA records, including most touchdowns and most wins.
Running back Doug Martin is one of the nation's best, Nate Potter is projected as one of the top offensive linemen to be taken in the NFL draft and Shea McClellin and Billy Winn are All-American candidates on the defensive line.
Head coach Chris Petersen is a great talent evaluator and gets the best out of everyone who comes through the program.
This season, the Broncos went on the road to Georgia and thoroughly beat the Bulldogs and are now squarely in the national title race, even though they lost top receivers Austin Pettis and Titus Young as well as their offensive coordinator from last year. They came close last year, but 2011 could be Boise State's year.
Be sure to check back here regularly for more up-to-date news, previews and predictions on the Broncos.

Nico Rosberg leads Lewis Hamilton by 11 points with eight races left - and until Mercedes say otherwise the pair are free to fight it out for the title.
So who will win?
Rosberg leads the qualifying battle 7-4 and Hamilton has suffered two disastrous sessions at the last two races, starting from the rear of the pack on both occasions.
In races, though, it is very evenly matched. Hamilton has five wins, two seconds, two thirds and two retirements; Rosberg has four wins, five seconds, one fourth and one retirement.
But in performance style, the pair could not be further apart.
Rosberg has been stable and consistent. Metronomic. In the heat of battle, Rosberg has kept cool, played clever mind games (was Monaco really a mistake?) and delivered time and again.
Hamilton has been more on the edge, dramatically fast at times, even in a slower car, but occasionally running beyond the limit. He has made things hard for himself on too many occasions.
There's very little in it - but when the mistakes don't come, the signs are Hamilton has the better of Rosberg.
Both need good reliability as one retirement can change everything. But assuming that the luck evens out on that front, then all Hamilton needs to do is focus on consistently driving at his highest level.
Finding that focus isn't always straightforward, of course, but if he digs it out then Hamilton will be the one to claim the title.
- - -
Massa's luck could put Williams second
It's great to say it: Williams are back.
After one of their worst ever seasons in 2013, the dramatic resurgence has been mostly due to a switch to Mercedes engines – but the car around the powerplant has also played a big part as they are the top non-works Mercedes runners.
Former Renault technical chief Pat Symonds has turned the team around and the arrival of Rob Smedley as head of vehicle performance appears to have been an important signing.
Developments keep coming through successfully, they've understood their problems and fixed them, and they are becoming more and more strategic every race. All of which is the sign of a team that is working well.
The only problem is Felipe Massa's luck.
He has shown good pace but retired six times in 11 races. When he and team-mate Valterri Bottas have both finished, the ex-Ferrari driver has been ahead on all but one occasion.
Bottas has collected 95 points to Massa's 40 – and had the pair both delivered, Williams would be comfortably ahead of Ferrari in third in the constructors' championship.
With several tracks coming up that should suit their car, a series of consistent two-car finishes could see them move up to third and start chasing down Red Bull down for the runners-up spot.
- - -
Red Bull Junior picks well
If there were any reason to doubt the potential of the Red Bull Junior programme, this season has quashed them.
Since Sebastian Vettel made the grade it has delivered a series of failed recruits, so much so that the team almost picked a non-Red Bull driver as Mark Webber's replacement this year.
Instead, they gambled on Red Bull Junior driver Daniel Ricciardo and he has shocked with his performances, out-performing Vettel and already winning two Grands Prix for the reigning champions.
Meanwhile, his replacement at Toro Rosso, 19-year-old Daniil Kvyat, has also impressed, joining from GP3 having beaten Antonio Felix da Costa to the seat and becoming the youngest ever points scorer on his debut.
Hotly tipped Max Verstappen, son of ex-F1 driver Jos, has now signed up to replace Jean Eric Vergne next year and Carlos Sainz Jr has been in talks with Caterham to take up a seat in the latter part of the season.
Vettel may decide to move on when his contract ends in 2016. If he does, there are plenty of drivers on the ladder to take his place.
- - -
Vettel needs to adapt
Sebastian Vettel has had it his own way for some time, racing a car that always suited his style. This year he has a lot less of the rear downforce he is used to, and that does not suit him.
From 34 wins in 77 races in the last four seasons, he has zero from 11 this season. His best is two third places and he is 43 points behind Ricciardo, who has won two.
Vettel has suffered worse reliability than his team-mate this year, but he now needs focus his head ready for 2015 – and to do that he needs to adapt to the car, not try to adapt the car to him.
- - -
New teams still finding it tough
It is now the fifth season since the 'new' teams made their debut and this year's rule changes gave them a great opportunity to step up.
But they haven't.
At Caterham, Tony Fernandes has totally given up on his F1 dream and handed over to a consortium of investors. The new management team of Colin Kolles and Christijan Albers still have plenty of work to do.
Marussia, meanwhile, scored the first points in their history in Monaco (albeit helped by their rivals making mistakes) and got two cars into Q2 at Silverstone - but they have slowly started to drop back again.
So despite the big opportunity, both are still some way from properly catching the midfield.
- - -
Ferrari should go for Hulkenberg
Alonso vs Raikkonen could have been great, but hopes that the Finn would shine on his return to Ferrari after two great seasons at Lotus have faded because the current cars don't suit him.
Alonso has scored 88 points more and has out-qualified Raikkonen 9-2 so far. He has two podiums, while Raikkonen's best was sixth at the last race in Hungary. Alonso is on average 0.695 seconds ahead of his team-mate in qualifying.
To be fair to Raikkonen, Alonso has made a habit of getting the best out of un under-performing car and he's doing exactly that again this year, scoring points in every race, only once outside the top six.
Meanwhile the man who Ferrari turned down, Nico Hulkenberg, has been shining at Force India.
He has been extremely consistent, scoring points in every one of the first 10 races including fifth places in Malaysia, Bahrain, Monaco and Canada.
With a points tally of 69 (an average of just less than seven points per finish) he has 42 more than Raikkonen and is once again proving he deserves a place in the top tier.
With the restructuring at Ferrari, what are the chances they drop the underperforming Raikkonen for a second time and finally snap up the German like they should have last year...?

Kitchen Kung-Fu: Emulsified Salad Dressings
Throughout the winter months, I definitely crave soups and casseroles and other warm, cozy dishes. Yet even when it's snowing outside, I still can't kick my salad habit. To give the fresh quadrant of my plate a cold-weather update, I shift to sturdier winter greens, and I like to trade in my light vinaigrettes for something with a little more heft, and a homemade emulsified salad dressing does the trick.
An emulsion is simply a blend of two liquids that don't normally bind together, such as oil and vinegar. In a standard salad-dressing blend, the vinegar sinks to the bottom and oil rises to the top, creating a thin, watery texture. Emulsified dressings, on the other hand, are thick and creamy and really cling to your veggies. To get the at-odds ingredients to mingle and develop that substantive consistency, you've got to break down the fat molecules and let the acid in. You do this by adding the oil to the vinegar or other liquid in a slow and steady stream while furiously beating with a whisk or blender.
Another trick to getting your dressing to emulsify is to add a third ingredient that acts as a helper. Mustard is the classic French addition, but you could also experiment with miso or even agave nectar, depending on whether your palate leans toward saltier or sweeter flavors. This basic dressing recipe, which features Dijon mustard and subtly sweet balsamic vinegar, gives greens a creamy kick that tastes great all year round.
Balsamic Vinaigrette
- 1 Tbs. balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tbs. whole-grain Dijon mustard
- 3 Tbs. olive oil
- ¼ tsp. salt, optional
Whisk together vinegar and mustard in bowl. Whisk in oil until dressing is emulsified and smooth. Season with salt, if using.

I would like to make my own homemade dressings like store bought. But olive oil always rises to top and gets hard. Is there a way to make it and not have this happen. I mean to have in refrigerator and use whenever.Grace - 2015-09-21 14:23:10

Some Republican leaders continue being silent in the face of extremism that do not reflect this Country's values. Of those 11+ million illegal immigrants are part of legal immigrant families, some are adoptees of US citizens, some were born and raised here. What's humane about breaking up families or sending them to a country where they've never lived in, never known, cannot speak the language? What about those who have fled here to start a new life - free from war, political persecution, etc? IJust because Republicans supported a "wall" in 2006 does not mean it was ever a good idea - it is just reflective of the ultra right wing ideology. Trump's highly simplistic solution is to build another "great wall of China" and deport 11+ million people is no reasonable answer. Providing a realistic, humane solutions that is in keeping with what this Country stands for requires thought not knee jerk, neocon reactions.
