Peter Ward conducts his research within The Environment Institute's Sprigg Geobiolgy Centre at the University of Adelaide.
Peter Ward has been active in Paleontology, Biology, and more recently, Astrobiology for more than 40 years. Since his Ph.D. in 1976, Ward has published more than 140 scientific papers dealing with paleontological, zoological, and astronomical topics.
He is an acknowledged world expert on mass extinctions and the role of extraterrestrial impacts on Earth. Ward was the Principal Investigator of the University of Washington node of the NASA Astrobiology Institute from 2001-2006, and in that capacity led a team of over 40 scientists and students. His career was profiled by the Pulitzer Prize winning reporter William Dietrich in The Seattle Times article "Prophet, Populist, Poet of Science."
Peter has written a memoir of his research on the Nautilus for Nautilus magazine's "Ingenious" feature entitled "Nautilus and me. My wonderful, dangerous life with the amazing Nautilus."
His books include the best-selling "Rare Earth: Why Complex Life Is Uncommon in the Universe" (co-author Donald Brownlee, 2000), "Under a Green Sky: Global Warming, the Mass Extinctions of the Past, and What They Can Tell Us About Our Future" (2007), and "The Medea Hypothesis: Is Life on Earth Ultimately Self-Destructive?" (2009).
Question: Based on your findings in Antarctica, how do you assess the future of the planet?
Peter Ward: Well, the earth has certainly gone through a lot of hot times and cold times back and forth, and forth and back. And what I do is study deep time by looking at CO2 levels and relative temperatures and we are coming out of a cold time and moving into a hot time. However, for this particular time in history, we should be moving back into a cold time.
If we take the entire ice ages in the last 2 ½ million years, we've been in a 10,000 year calm of warmth, and it's time to go cold again, and yet it doesn't seem to be in our cards because of all the carbon dioxide we have put into the system. In fact, we are now at levels that the world has not seen for the last 40 million years and we will soon be at carbon dioxide levels that were 100 million years ago when we had a true hothouse world.
So, the game has been changed.
Question: What specific research did you conduct during your Antarctic expedition?
Peter Ward: Our Antarctic work is to look at the nature of global temperatures at the end of the Cretaceous Period. Cretaceous ended 65 million years ago. The **** end, and I do believe this is that large asteroid hit us in the Yucatan Peninsula causing the mass extinction. But we're trying to see what happened in the 10 million years prior to that because we know at that time; there was a gigantic volcanic event in India. These are a big flood basalts they're called. It's not a single point source volcano, but imagine enormous areas of the earth, creeping lava coming out of the cracks and flowing slowly all around scaring dinosaurs to death, probably running in front of this stuff, probably killed a few dinosaurs, but what it did do was vent an enormous quantity of volcanic carbon dioxide and other gasses into the atmosphere.
Now, we wanted to know, was there any precursor to the impact. Was the impact just the coup de grace coming on an already affected world and it does seem to be that? And the best place to look at this – the best place to understand anything about global warming isn't at the tropics. That's where temperatures change the least, but it's at the poles where you have the greatest absolute change. So, we found a ten degrees centigrade change from colder to warmer in the last two to three million years prior to the impact itself. The place really did warm up, and fast, from a lot of CO2 in the atmosphere. Now, there's obviously parallels to what's going on in the world today.
Question: What was your methodology in measuring CO2 levels in Antarctica?
Peter Ward: We're trying to understand past temperatures. And you can do this in a couple of direct and indirect ways. But the most direct way is to take the shells, if it is unaltered. The original shell of some of the mollusks that lived at that time. The ones we look at are relative to the chambered nautilus called ammonites; beautifully pearly shell. And just run an isotope check on it. You can do this very simply by crushing it up, turning it into a powder and heating that. You get oxygen being driven off. You compare the isotopes. It's been known for 50 years that a comparison of the oxygen isotope 18, which is heavier, to the far more normal oxygen 16 is a direct way of measuring ancient temperatures. So, all we try to do is understand, gee, what happened to ocean temperatures across this 2 or 3 million year interval.
So, we collect the specimens, we take them back to our labs in America, we run them through the machines and came up with a temperature curve. So, we do have a direct measurement now of say the last 5 million years of the Cretaceous. And the temperatures in the Arctic and the Antarctic, and sure enough those are the places that should warm up the most if you had a global warming scenario and in fact, that's exactly what happened.
Question: What distinguishes man-made global warming from past warming events, and which is likely to be worse?
Peter Ward: Well, the differences are just simply what is causing it? I mean, in the past it was volcanoes and today it's Volvos, or any other car you want to say. But the reality, it's not even the cars. And this is a misnomer that I see. We think of all those cars and all the exhaust from them, and surely that is a problem, but it's the power plants that make the steel that make the cars. That's the problem. The power plants are the big problem on this planet. And that's why we really have to think seriously about China with its billion or more people of which one in 100 has a personal car. America has 300 million people and over 300 million cars. Now, what happens if the world has to build a billion cars just for the Chinese? That's a lot of carbon dioxide still to go to the atmosphere. A lot of power plants and the power plants in China are almost invariably fueled by coal, and coal is the single worst polluter that humans could use.

i REALLY doubt it
As long as the X-rays dont use strong magnets it shouldn't harm the wii's
256 MiB hard drive. And check with security "FIRST", call the airport and ask for the TSA office in the airport. They'll probably ask why just them them you want to ask them some question directly. And ask them if you can even take the wii on the plane. If it were the 90 still (Before 9/11) there be no problem but now it be best to ask first.
wii number 6722-9876-1815-9301 Wii log in name is Vash353
Pm me if ya added me and tell my your wii number as well so i can do the same =)
i REALLY doubt it
Since the Wii does not use a physical hard disk only flash memory , a magnetic field would cause no harmful damage to your unit either. + i thought it was 512Mb of on board storage.. ? I could be mistaken

CARRY IT ON! you will have to remove it and have it in plain view before passing through TSA... so use a nice soft bag (i use a laptop bag) and make sure it's EASILY accessible and viewable.
we travel allot! Spring - Fall!
You take your Wii on holiday with you?

Responding to an Aug. 22 article in FCW about procurement hindering innovation in the government, a reader wrote:
Another killer of innovation has been sequestration. We are technologically losing ground to adversaries. The reason is the way sequestration was executed was first to protect all employees, then recap budgets and if anything was left it funded technology development. Guess what - in most agency cases there are no technology innovation dollars left. In a commercial environment a budget cut would have involved 10% layoffs, 20% reduction in recap (servers will last another year), and left money for innovation, otherwise you lose competitiveness. Why can't government be run like this?
Frank Konkel responds:
Good points – the government isn't run like this, but to place the blame on sequestration probably isn't correct, either. For starters, the government has been wasting money in IT for the past decade, a documented $9.2 billion since 2003. Those numbers come from the Government Accountability Office.
Not coincidentally, GAO released a report in December 2012 that showed the federal government spent $54 billion of its $79 billion 2011 IT budget on legacy technology. In other words, seven dollars of every 10 the government spent on technology went to maintaining old technology, and only three went to developing any kind of new applications or technology. According to a MeriTalk study released in July, the government spends closer to 80 percent of its IT budget on maintaining legacy systems. The data suggests a fundamental problem in the way the government procures technology and maintains systems, which inadvertently stifles innovation. Sequestration might have added to the problem, but it existed long before sequestration became a political talking point. The government doesn't like to fire employees, it's not always quick to adapt to change and its bottom line isn't measured in terms of whether its operating in the red or black. For these reasons, I don't think the government will ever operate like a private-sector business in prosperous times.
Yet some agency IT shops and CIOs have promoted innovation as a necessity, given tighter budget constraints. Innovation, some agencies have found, leads to better ways of doing things. Perhaps a continued scarcity of funds and uncertainty will force the government to run more like a private-sector company might. Time will tell, and it's a fast-moving time in IT right now.

Oh Sylvia! Beach hut or 3-bed semi: Daily Mail compares house prices
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing
The oldest housing game in town – comparing what you could get elsewhere for the same amount of money – has been given new life by the Daily Mail.
The paper of record looked at the 'Great British property divide' by comparing two vastly different properties.
The Mail's reader-friendly bullet points said: "Beach hut no bigger than garden shed on sale in Kent for £120,000 but for £50 less you can snap up this three-bedroom house in Hartlepool." (The Mail confusingly calls the Hartlepool semi-detached property a "terraced home", which it clearly isn't, but this may because nobody at the Mail has ever seen a terraced house before.)
The beach hut, a freehold property in Whitstable, overlooks the Isle of Sheppey and comes with timber decking and barbeque area, the Mail said. The cheaper modern semi-detached home in Hartlepool has an en suite for the master bedroom.
Clearly keen to sell the hut, the Mail reported that it has "been fitted with a roll top work surface with storage beneath and a sink with a drainer unit below". One snag: There's an effective dusk-to-dawn curfew in place to please local residents (ie those with a proper home).
Mail readers, not famed for their emotional dexterity, seem to be adjusting well to the Hartlepool revelations.
"I had a girlfriend from Hartlepool many years ago and had a fantastic time there," wrote one reader on the Mail website. "Girlfriend made me deliriously happy then went and broke my heart. She was called Sylvia."

It was a season to forget for the Scottsburg Warriors as they managed only three wins in Coach Anthony Winchester's first year as head coach. Luckily, the Warriors had the perfect opportunity to do just that as they began the Sectional tournament with a clean slate. After drawing the bye, thus being moved automatically to the second round, the Warriors found themselves playing the Greensburg Pirates, with hopes of making it to the championship game.

SANTA CRUZ -- Lisa Cliggett expected a relaxing beach side escape when she stayed at a friend's apartment in Santa Cruz in October.
Instead, the Kentucky woman found herself waging war on a freezer full of Argentine ants.
Thousands of them had set up shop inside the appliance's insulation, and a steady stream of tiny bodies poured out of the cracks to forage in the kitchen. "There was a fortress within the freezer walls," said Cliggett, who set out baits but still spent nearly an hour a day wiping up the fallen soldiers' carcasses.
For millions of Californians, Argentine ants can be the stuff of nightmares. But their persistent presence in Northern California homes is merely one symptom of a larger problem -- these invasive ants are out-competing native ant species and, in doing so, fundamentally altering California's ecosystems. And by giving them shelter in our homes, we're unwittingly helping them do it.
California yards and sidewalk cracks used to host a number of native ant species, such as winter ants and harvester ants. Sometimes they would venture inside, but rarely in great numbers. Then the Argentine ants arrived.
"Native ants are diverse; they're beautiful; they interact with a lot of other organisms," said David Holway, a UC San Diego ecologist. But "areas that are invaded by Argentine ants in California support very few native ant species."
These tiny brown insects -- just a few millimeters long -- are native to the banks of South America's Paraná River. In the past century, they've sneaked into shipping containers and surreptitiously made their way around the globe. Now they're found on every continent except Antarctica, gaining strong footholds in areas with mild Mediterranean climates such as coastal California.
Argentine ant colonies are tricky to eradicate. Each colony has multiple queens. And, at least in California, they're remarkably tolerant of neighboring Argentine colonies.
Deborah Gordon, a biologist at Stanford University, explained that ants recognize others in their colony by their scent, but Argentine ants don't usually seem to differentiate other Argentine colonies from their own.
Toward other species, the foreign invaders can be ferocious: They'll sometimes raid the nests of other ant species and rip them to bits. But their strategy for success in California might be a more subtle one. "They're good at finding things," Gordon said. They stake out food sources before other ants, who then back off.
"The irony is that it's kind of hard to find Argentine ants in their native habitat," Holway said. He hypothesizes that ant-on-ant aggression is the norm in their native ecosystem. Facing more competition for territory and resources from other species, they aren't able to take over in the same way they can in California. He and Gordon both note, though, that ascribing a single cause to the success of any invasive species is an almost impossible task.
The loss of native ant species here knocks a carefully balanced web of ecological connections off-kilter. Insects and plants that depend on native ants to perform certain functions -- from pollination to pest control -- lose out, causing ripples of disruption to spread even further.
In some cases, invasive ants can cause irreparable damage. One of the most dramatic cases occurred on Christmas Island, a tiny dot in the Indian Ocean.
In the mid-1990s, yellow crazy ants worked in conjunction with mealybugs to create supercolonies that decimated the crab population on the island. Without the crabs there to remove leaf litter, the once-clear forests became dense with underbrush. Large trees died off from mealybug infestations.
The ecosystem-wide effects of invasive species are magnified on isolated islands.
Brian Fisher, an entomologist at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco who studies ant biodiversity around the world, says they're trickier to trace in coastal California. Here, scientists are only starting to understand the extent of the Argentine ant's influence.
The loss of native ant diversity is already having some concrete consequences, though: Horned lizard populations have decreased along the California coast because Argentine ants have displaced their food source, the larger native harvester ants.
In California, Fisher said, native ants are still lurking at the fringes. He suspects that if the Argentine ant were somehow eradicated in the Bay Area that the native ants would creep back in. We haven't seen the ecological meltdown that's happened on certain islands. "But that doesn't mean it couldn't happen in the future."
We're partially responsible for the Argentine ant's success here, according to Gordon: Urban life offers the same comforts to ants that it does to humans.
"We give them water when it's hot and dry, and we give them a warm refuge when it's cold and wet," she said. Even our more modest homes are five-star hotels compared to the ants' shallow outdoor nests that easily flood during California's wet winters and parch during drought-stricken summers.
The ants need moist soil to thrive, Gordon added. "We find that when they get far enough from sources of water and shelter from people that they actually don't do that well against the native species," she said.
Scientists are also concerned about the environmental impact of efforts to control the Argentine ant. Broad spraying of pesticides -- the most common pest control strategy -- has had little impact on the invasion.
"You couldn't think of a better pest," Holway said. "It essentially never goes away."
They don't sting like fire ants, and they don't damage homes like carpenter ants. But their sheer numbers make them unwelcome houseguests. Kill the ants in one nest, and there's another one waiting, poised to invade. The pesticides linger, washing into bays, where they can affect marine ecosystems.
Fisher suggested a different tactic: Researchers led by Neil Tsutsui at UC Berkeley are working to hijack the pheromone system that Argentine ants use to distinguish friends from foes. Treating infested areas with the right chemical message, they hope, could convince Argentine ants to turn against their Argentine neighbors instead of coexisting. Such a solution could someday spell relief for both native species and humans.
Cliggett, who battled the freezer infestation in Santa Cruz, said she's used to coexisting with insects, but "to have them invade so completely into infrastructure and what we think of as sealed houses is really startling."
Her battle ended only when her friend trashed the refrigerator. The new one is ant-free -- for now.

Gimme a Bigger Piece of Pie
Pie is such a beautiful thing. Whoever invented it should have his or her own holiday. The above pie was created by a talented cook and blogger (click here for the recipe) but I'm just borrowing her image for the visual.
I've been thinking about something that's bothering me and somehow pie just seems to illustrate my point. I hope you'll hang with me on this one...it might just cheer you up. We all know that when pie is sliced, everybody gets a piece. There's only so much to go around and a bigger piece for me might mean that you're stuck with a smaller piece. This all makes sense to me in the world of pie.
But why have we taken this pie theology and applied it to other things in life? For instance, why do we believe there is only so much success to go around? Success is not pie. One person experiencing what seems like a large amount of success does not mean there is less success available for me (or you). But we've somehow convinced ourselves of this and I want to say right now that we are believing a big fat lie. There is PLENTY of success to go around. There is more than enough happiness, love, beauty, talent, humor, wisdom, kindness, grace and hope for all of us to have what we need and then some. Just because it seems like someone you know is getting an extra helping does not mean you have to get less.
Maybe you don't feel very successful right now. I've been there. I hate to beat a dead horse, but did I mention I was fired? But even in the midst of a less-than-thrilling professional set back, I could search my heart at the end of the day and be happy with what I found. To me, that's the very definition of success.
There's something great inside you my friend. Something amazing. And it can never be made less than simply because it seems somebody else has what looks like more. Exactly as you are in this moment, you are completely and totally enough.

Rookie House hopes to return Monday
Davon House's wait may end soon.
The rookie cornerback, who has been out since Aug. 5 with a hamstring injury, will not play Friday against the Arizona Cardinals but said he could be back in action on Monday. If House absolutely needed to play this week, he could.
"Hopefully Monday, that's be ideal," House said. "But whenever the doctor's say it's time to go, then I'll go."
To loosen up the hamstring, House has been doing plenty of icing, pool work and various stretches. He said there's been tangible progress. He started running again earlier this week inside the Don Hutson Center without any setbacks.
The former New Mexico State standout pulled his hamstring the first week of practice when he opened up on a fade route. His hammy was already tight from earlier in the day, he said. It got tighter and forced him out.
So after a strong start to camp, with an early stranglehold on the No. 4 cornerback job, House was sent to the sideline. Watching on in sweats has been difficult. Precisely when he started gaining confidence that he could play -- and play well -- at this level, House was shelved.
"It sucks because I was rolling," House said. "I feel like I was making plays but I feel like once I am healthy again I'll start right where I stopped off at.
"If I needed to play tomorrow, I could. If they said, 'If you don't play, you're cut,' then yeah. But I feel like the doctors know what they're doing. They've been doing this forever. Whatever they tell me to do, I'll do it."

Can anyone help me with an edit for the following? I am not sure what file I should edit and how to do it. I'm using SUPERSTORE wootheme. I've done a bit of custom css editing, but I'm not sure how to deal with these items, I think I need to learn how to edit the PHP files (but without breaking my website). Website is not live yet so I can't give a URL, sorry!
1. I want to remove categories that appear under the product thumbnail on the shop page. It's ok for these to appear on the product detail page.
2. I want to remove the "add to cart" button on the shop page (it will be there on the product detail page).
3. I want to remove the title "Product Description" from my product page (I don't use the tabs, only short description, I want descriptions to be short and sweet).
4. I want to remove the h1 home page title, and perhaps on other pages as well.
5. I also want to edit the shop page so I can have more control over what's displayed (I want a more concise layout, not the default sizes)
Thanks for any help.

Elliott, Walnut Grove Cem
Hi Lettie, thanks for your findagrave work. You did the memorials for John Edmund Elliott & wife Susan Helena "Lena" (Mills) Elliott, plus 4 of their children: Nora H., J. Jared, Edmund P., & Eula (Elliott) Schouten, all in Walnut Grove. I need two more Elliotts. 1900 Census, "Lena" enumerated to 8 births, 5 living, and in 1910, to 8 births, 4 living - that last one would be Edmund P, d. 1902. There are two unconnected Elliotts in Walnut Grove: Louie Hampton Elliott, b. unk, d. unk, and (your memorial) Lena S. Elliott, b.unk, d. unk. Any chance Louie and Lena S. are buried with the John Edmund Elliott family?

Possible correction
Thank you for your kindness in photographing and posting the tombstone for Kathryn Briegleb Jeffries and Carl Jeffries. Just wanted you to know Carl is NOT interred in Missouri. He remarried after losing dear Kathryn and was eventually buried at Woodlawn Cemetery, Shawano County, Shawano, Wisconsin. Long story, but these were my grandparents, and I am certain of my facts. Not sure that makes any difference in your entry, but if anyone is looking for Carl's final resting place, they won't find him in St. Clair. Please let me know if there's any other info you'd like. I'm more than happy to share what little I know of the family.
Thanks again!

RE: Ruth Emery
Although her social security death index and Washington state death index list dates of birth with no location, I have often seen this when those are "unknown" by the reporter. The 1930 US Census has her listed in Hoquiam with a birth place as Canada (English) and an arrival date TO the US in 1926. She is listed with father Roscoe A Burgess, mother Jemima Burgess, older brothers Lester D and Arthur C, and younger brothers Ralph S, all of which are also listed as birthplace Canada (English). If she was born in 1916, this would have made her about 10 when they came to the states. In Canada they also have 10-yr censuses but on the years ending in 1. So there is a corresponding census I have found in 1921 listing her in St. George Parrish, Charlotte, New Brunswick, Canada, with her father Roscoe Burgess, mother Jeanna (clearly one of these censuses is a misspelling) Burgess, and older brothers Morris, Lester, and Arthur. New Brunswick is listed as her birthplace in this census, so we can now be even more specific in updating her Find A Grave memorial. 🙂 Although Morris is not listed in the 1930 census with the family, it is likely because he had his own property and possibly even own family by this time.

Hi Lettie,
Will you please take a look at #164816989 and see if you can make out the name on it? I feel like it's probably a duplicate of ones of yours since you have thoroughly canvased SSPP, but I'm having trouble figuring out who it belongs to. At the time I took the picture (someone else transcribed), I was thinking it was someone else's that I was trying to get GPS coordinates on, but I don't think it's the relative I originally was thinking of.

Hi I was wondering if their is a marker for Navia Willoughby and where you got the info for her posting? I believe both Nova and Lura where wives of Squire Willoughby . Did they both die in the same year? I have Nova birth year as 1900 and death as 16 June 1924 . But I can find no records at all so I could be totally off. Hoping this is the great aunt I am looking for ! If you have any info that would be great!!! Looks like you share a surname with his other wife buried here too.

Photos have been added. Would you like me to transfer Jeremy Michael Hawkinson over to you? He's buried next to Alice and Harold.

This company is a complete rip-off. They cheated us out of almost $3,000 by not repaying fees of COVERED repairs needed to the sewage of our dwelling.
I highly recommend that NO ONE conduct any busines with this company. They will collect your money and run. They seemingly offer no real coverage for anyone's home.
