Before we get too far ahead of ourselves, MSU hasn't defeated an SEC team with a winning conference record since last year's SEC Tournament. MSU's wins are over 5 teams that have a combined conference record of 13-35. MSU has played two former number 1's in Alabama and Florida and has two losses to show for it. It's easy to get inside the numbers, but you can't see the look or the determination of the squad "in the numbers".
The Bullies were down big at the half in Athens. With less then 2 minutes to play the Bullies had a 5- point lead and the ball. The dagger came when Steve Thomas outworked us for an offensive rebound and passed to a wide open and suddenly red hot Ezra Williams, who calmly knocked down a wide open three. Character and esprit de corps are built in such moments. The team has certainly had a different look about them after letting that one get away.
Last season the Bulldogs let two 12-point leads at LSU get away and lost a game they shouldn't have in overtime. I think we may have reached a similar bench mark with the 2003 Dogs. The game this past Saturday may be as well as we have ever played at home in conference. After winning two games by a combined 50 points, the Bulldogs seem to be peaking at the right time. Most people expected blowout home wins from this year's team, but after the earlier adversity in the season they certainly mean a lot more.
MSU finds itself one game behind surprising Auburn. The Tigers started strong, but have found the going a lot tougher on the road. Auburn has 7 games remaining and 4 of those are on the road. The good news is that three of those are against Alabama, LSU, and Mississippi. Alabama and LSU are on the verge of total collapse. LSU had a chance to steal one from Auburn this past Saturday, but let it get away in the end. Alabama appears to be a team that has already packed it in and may go down as the only team in the history of the poll system to appear at #1 and fail to make the NCAA Tournament. UM is playing out the string, but would love to make a difference in how the West is won. Auburn still has a home and home against MSU and hosts Florida and Arkansas. If Auburn can earn a split on the road and win 2 of the 3 remaining home games they would earn a mark of 12-6 in conference. That may be enough to win the West and secure a #3 in the SEC tourney.
Mississippi State also has a 3 home, 4 away stretch. The schedule is a lot kinder to Auburn. MSU has to visit AU and UK next week which may be the week that decides our SEC fate. MSU also must visit the Bulldog's house of horrors in Bud Walton Arena to rematch with recently blown out Arkansas. The final away game is at Knoxville where the Vols will also be playing for the all important tournament seeding. To say we'll have to earn it is putting it mildly. MSU will host UM this weekend, after an open date on Wednesday, Alabama in between travel dates, and Auburn to close out the regular season. MSU must sweep Auburn to win the West, but more importantly get a #3 or #4 seed in the conference tournament. MSU has a nice shot at defending their crown, but some momentum heading in will be key.
The other two teams vying for the better seeds are Tennessee and Georgia. UGA is 5-4, but has Florida and Kentucky left to deal with. The best news is they get them in Athens. Tennessee is way too dependent on big man Slay. After UT makes it's next trip through the division, they'll meet the pack rather quickly. The match-up with MSU is huge for both teams, but MSU has the ability to score from 5 positions. This one will be a fun one to watch with the pressure Z and Bowers bring.
With 7 regular season games left, this team has a lot to play for and this is where it all starts to matter. Nothing can be done to erase the 0-3 start or the leads that got away, but they can still reach every goal they set for themselves. The best thing about college basketball is that if you keep winning, everything else will take care of itself. The polls, RPI, conference tournament seedings, NCAA seedings, and bandwagon media types will all come into focus if the W's keep coming.
This weekend brings a chance for the Bullies to sweep the season series from in-state rival Mississippi. This game is big for a lot of reasons, but the biggest reason is that it's the next game on the way to bigger games.
Until next week,
Steve Robertson

1 Oceanographic Commission GLOBALOCEAN OBSERVING SYSTEM
2 biography of the artist Glynn Gorick, a former school teacher, investigates the complexity of ecosystems in his art through variations in scale. By adapting the scale to fit the subject, I can draw molecules, cells, individuals, communities, ecosystems, and the biosphere in a way that may illustrate levels of organization, he says. Gorick s work often depicts Earth as a series of layers, beginning with the physical world and then adding different living systems, which, in turn, build upon each other. Humanity s part in these systems is regarded from a holistic perspective demonstrating through art how humans depend on and interact with the planet they call home. Gorick s plan for this GOOS image started as a simple flow diagram from temperature measurements of the ocean using Argo floats (lower left in the image) to scientists constructing models of temperature changes (upper right). This is possibly a picture of induction, where facts are built into theories of how things work, Gorick says. To complete this view of science in action and show the deduction that happens in science, I imagine a line from top right to lower left, where the model is used to calculate future temperatures. If the prediction proves to be false, the model is modified, retested, and improved. Other themes in the image include the coastal city, a picture-graph, where each part is scaled to its CO 2 emissions, explains Gorick. I suggest that it is important for the city to be informed of its impact on the ocean, to fund the science, alter its strategy, and be able to observe how the ocean responds. The GOOS office commissioned Gorick s artwork for this collage. He has also created images for the Natural Environment Research Council and International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme. Glynn Gorick s web page:
3 Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission UNESCO Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission Glenn Gorick s artistic depiction of the Global Ocean Observing System, and the ocean that it serves to monitor, plays freely with spatial scales. The work sweeps effortlessly from the vast realm of the global oceans, through the human scales of oceanographic equipment and marine animals, to molecules. Fitting this range of scales on a single tableau required quite an artistic flight of fancy but at its core, the work is not fantasy. In fact, the global ocean observing system is operating today, in the real world, across this same enormous range of scales. While the artwork manages to beautifully capture many of the diverse elements of the observing system and the ocean, what unfortunately cannot be depicted, even with plenty of artistic license, is the daily delivery of societal benefits that routine ocean observations underpin. The system facilitates sustainable use of the many resources found at sea. From coast to coast, 70 percent by volume of the world trade moves across the surface of the ocean. The 100-billion-dollar-a-year fisheries industry supplies protein to millions of communities and is an essential export of many economies. Energy extraction from off-shore oil fields, as well as the advent of extensive off-shore wind turbines keeps the world s machinery moving. These industries depend on a robust ocean observing system in order to operate efficiently and sustainably. A wide range of valuable predictions depends on ocean observations. These include for example forecasts of hurricane intensity and landfall, related storm surge heights, tsunami propagation and run-up, and seasonal climate variations such as the timing and strength of monsoon rains, and El Niño related seasonal droughts and floods. The oceans are both driving and responding to global anthropogenic change. Sea level rise, ocean acidification, ecosystem changes, and the impacts of pollution are all monitored by the system, and it is only by keeping this watchful eye on the changing ocean that humanity can mitigate and adapt to these dramatic changes.

5 The Global Ocean Observing System Monitoring and observing the global oceans requires an international effort and broad cooperation. The Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC), the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and the International Council for Science, (ICSU) sponsor and manage the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) to provide a coordinated approach to deployment of observation technologies; rapidly and universally disseminate data flows and delivery of marine information; to inform and aid marine management and decision makers; and to increase the appreciation of the general public of our changeable oceans. The Global Ocean Observing System was originally envisioned in 1999 to serve the world through a unified global network that provides the information governments, industry, science, and the public need to deal with marine-related issues -- including environmental issues and the influence of the ocean upon climate. Oceanography has advanced from a science dealing mostly with local processes to one that is also studying ocean basin and global processes. As a result, researchers and a wide spectrum of users depend critically on the availability of an international exchange system to provide data and information from all available sources. Today GOOS is more than a vision. Dozens of observation systems using sophisticated instrumentation, imaging the global oceans in dozens of ways at hundreds of locations across thousands of kilometers of oceans operate as GOOS. This booklet is a guide to these systems that marine illustrator Glynn Gorick elegantly portrayed in graphic design. The complexity of the image is a reflection of the complexity of the systems, but taken together we see that there is a flow of information, which starts as observations of nature and is transformed into unified knowledge about the global oceans. WMO 3
6 Carbon Flux, Carbon Chemistry at Sea Surface The interactions of atmospheric molecular compounds with the uppermost part of the ocean s surface have repercussions throughout the ocean and atmospheric system, as depicted here in this image. Indeed, the surface waters of the ocean have the greatest effect on controlling global climate change. Already the ocean has absorbed 82 percent of the total additional energy accumulated in the planet due to global warming. The ocean system also receives one-third of the industrial CO 2 emissions that humans produce. The added heat is warming the ocean while the added carbon is turning it more acidic. Coral reefs are therefore under double threat. Warmer water causes bleaching events that remove the colorful tissues of the animals from their structures, turning a reef into a grave of white skeletons. Acidic waters dissolve the skeletons. GOOS is engaged with the task of delivering best possible data for the difficult science of ocean carbon tracking. The ocean s ability to chemically absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is tightly coupled to the biological uptake of dissolved carbon in seawater. As organisms uptake dissolved inorganic carbon from the ocean, the surface water draws more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in order to maintain chemical equilibrium. These biological and solubility pumps however have feedback mechanisms that are complicated by the increasing CO 2 in the atmosphere. As seawater absorbs more carbon dioxide to maintain equilibrium with the atmosphere it increases the number of free hydrogen ions in the ocean, and, as a result, increases the ocean s acidity. Calcium carbonate buffers acidity and helps the ocean maintain chemical equilibrium, but at a cost to the skeletal structures of organisms that rely on calcium carbonate and cannot easily take advantage of the additional hydrogen ions. Global Ocean Observing System 4
7 Other feedback mechanisms of the carbon cycle include ocean temperature and circulation. Sinking water in the high latitudes transports CO 2 -rich surface water into the deep ocean. But wind can cause upwelling along the coasts that bring these deep, cold, nutrient-enriched waters to the surface. The transported nutrients are important for phytoplankton growth, but sometimes these upwelling events lead to vast, albeit short-lived, algal blooms whose plant-like cells bacteria consume in a feeding frenzy that leaves the water column depleted of oxygen. For example, changes in wind patterns in recent years off the coast of Oregon have caused an increase in the extent and frequency of aptly-named dead zones where schools of fish turn belly-up and crabs lie dead on the seafloor. In other regions around the world the dead zones are the result of algal blooms and bacteria that proliferate due to an abundance of nutrient discharge from rivers laden with human pollution, sewage, and fertilizers. Scientists have come together to study these large-scale and complex processes through global research programs such as SOLAS and IMBER, and are coordinating their observation platforms to develop a global observing network through the International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project (IOC- CP). Ocean carbon studies require a multi-platform approach, including time series stations, decadal and high-frequency repeat hydrographic surveys, and surface observations made from ships of opportunity or drifting floats. New techniques such as gliders, wave-riders, and profiling floats are needed to provide spatial and temporal coverage not yet possible with existing techniques. 5
8 Coastal Ocean Observational Needs From the population of nearly three billion who will live within 50 km of the coast within the next 15 years to those further inland who rely on the coastal services, the world s growing population is putting a great strain on existing coastal infrastructure and coastal marine ecosystems. The Global Ocean Observing System serves an important role in managing marine and estuarine resources. The GOOS coastal module promotes the needs and products required by coastal applications and member state s regional requests. The coastal module develops an integrated and holistic approach to addressing six goals for the health and prosperity of coastal communities: of global climate change on coastal ecosystems; erations; more effectively; tively; effectively. The backbone of the GOOS coastal module are the GOOS Regional Alliances, groups of member states that share a strong interest in their shared part of the ocean. This regional interest emphasizes coastal processes and products which aid marine shipping industries, coastal development and sustainable use of coastal marine ecosystems. Through the alliances and their association with GOOS, national and regional observing networks are encouraged to adopt global standards for ocean observation methods, data storage and ocean product interoperability. Global Ocean Observing System 6
9 Oceanographic Research Vessels Marine research has always involved going out to sea, sometimes for months and even for years, as was the case with the 19th-century sailing voyages of the Challenger and the Beagle. In spite of technological advances in robotic instruments and satellite observations, the primary measurements of ocean properties must still be made by lowering equipment over the side of a vessel. The POGO Ocean Going Research Vessel Database lists more than 100 Research Vessels between m in length and 48 vessels over 90 m. The fleet includes ice-breakers capable of conducting studies in polar seas, deep-sea drilling ships which conduct geophysical studies of the seabed and tenders of the research submersibles, which take scientists directly to the ocean floor. Many ships are occupied with conducting acoustic hydrographic surveys and are equipped with computer systems capable of producing updated charts while still at sea. In addition to research vessels, many ships of opportunity volunteer to conduct research during their transits across the ocean. Together these vessels are essential for the deployment of many of GOOS s buoys, floats, and Argo drifters, and for obtaining high accuracy calibration data to verify the robotic systems and ground truth satellite missions.

10 Hydrography The direct sampling of ocean water by lowering bottles from a ship and returning water samples shipboard for analysis remains one of the fundamental tools of ocean observations. The workhorse of hydrography is the Niskin bottle which is often deployed in clusters on an instrumented rosette, which records Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth (CTD). The CTD rosette is lowered to its deepest point and then as it is winched up to the ship the bottles are closed, one at a time, capturing a profile of the water column along the way. The water can be filtered and sampled for CO 2, chlorophyll, microorganisms, biogeochemistry, and a wide variety of other uses. The IOCCP and CLIVAR organize and coordinate hydrography cruises and maintain databases of tens of thousands of hydrography profiles taken throughout the world s ocean. This program is an essential component of the ocean observing system as it is the only way to directly monitor the ocean s take-up of CO 2 and changes in ocean acidity levels caused by climate change. Global Ocean Observing System 8
11 Sea-level Monitoring The Global Sea-Level Observing System, GLOSS, is an international programme overseeing the coordination of a network of sea level monitoring gauges installed along sea shores in over 70 countries. Each station is capable of accurately monitoring sea level changes with high accuracy and many are able to transmit information in real time via satellite links. The GLOSS network is incorporated into Tsunami warning systems. Real time measurements of water level changes can provide tsunami warnings for locations surrounding the affected sea basins. Sea-level observations are also useful for local navigation and continual refinement of tide table predictions. Tide gauges measure rising water levels from storms and extreme tides which can be responsible for billions of euros in damages and lost productivity every year. Sea level is rising as a consequence of melting glaciers and warming ocean temperatures due to climate change. With higher sea level comes an increase in the severity and frequency of flooding from storm inundation. The Ott Radar Unit records sea level by acoustically measuring the distance from the transducer head to the water surface. (Proudman Oceanographic Laboratories) 9
12 Argo Profiling Floats The Argo floats are autonomous observation systems which drift with ocean currents making detailed physical measurements of the upper 2 km of the water column. Every 10 days an Argo float changes its buoyancy by pumping fluid into an external bladder. During its journey through the water column, it records the conductivity of the seawater, its temperature, and depth pressure. Once at the surface the Argo finds its geographical position via GPS and transmits its recordings by satellite to Argo data centers where the information is joined with data from over 3,000 other Argo floats to form a synoptic 3-D view of the ocean in near real time. This remarkable system has revolutionized oceanography since its inception in 1998 through the Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR) program and the Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment (GODAE). Argo floats now number more than 3,000 and take more than 100,000 salinity and temperature profiles each year, more than 20 times the annual hydrography profiles taken from research ships. The Argo array is truly an international program with more than 23 different countries contributing floats and ship time for deployments. The project is overseen by the International Argo Steering Team and operations are overseen at the Argo Information Center, a part of the JCOMMOPS. Argo data has transformed ocean circulation studies. Today Argo data is routinely assimilated into global circulation models giving accurate and timely global views of the circulation patterns and heat distribution of the ocean. This product has become an essential element of atmospheric forecast models and greatly improves seasonal climate, monsoon, El Niño forecasts, as well as tropical cyclone simulations. The value of subsurface heat content measurements to the study of global warming and climate change has made the Argo an invaluable component of 21st century environmental observation systems. Global Ocean Observing 0 10 JCOMM-OPS
13 Buoyancy-Driven Gliders The Argo profilers have been a great success and have revolutionized our 3D view of the ocean. However, as drifters they can only take data where the ocean currents take them. An ability to control the location and sampling of data is needed for researchers to investigate specific oceanic phenomena, such as the downwelling of cold ocean water, the formation of ocean fronts, and the evolution of oceanic eddies. Today a new generation of Argo floats is in demand, ones that glide horizontally under control of computer guidance systems with two-way communications from the most remote parts of the ocean to land-based laboratories. The gliders adjust their buoyancy to sink and rise, just as the Argo floats, but by using wings and rudders the gliders can fly horizontally, turn, and control their positions in the water column. Recently, classrooms in Rutgers University had the opportunity to guide a glider across the Atlantic Ocean. The daily updates on the glider s position combined with the course alterations the students made based on anticipated and measured cur- rents and eddies, provided a unique learning experience to see the dynamic physical interactions occurring within the Atlan- tic Ocean. Following the loss of the first trans-atlantic glider in 2008, the students successfully guided a glider across the Atlantic to Spain in A dramatic demonstration that this technology is maturing and will soon be a basic component of the Global Ocean Observing System. 11
14 Surface Drifters The JCOMM and Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory Global Drifter Program manages the deployment of drifting buoys around the world. These simple buoys take measurements of surface seawater temperature and salinity and marine meteorological variables that are telemetered in real time through the World Meteorological Organization s Global Telecommunications System (GTS) to support global meteorological services as well as climate research and monitoring. The drifters are a flexible component of GOOS and can be deployed quickly for such tasks as monitoring an approaching typhoon. The global array is designed to use 1,250 buoys to cover the oceans at a resolution of one per 5 x 5. The surface temperature data have been used to calibrate satellite temperature imagery, bringing bias errors down from 0.7 degree Celsius to less than 0.3 degree, allowing accurate climate change monitoring. Along with the Argo profilers the surface drifter programme has contributed to the success of a real-time monitoring system of the oceans, allowing much more accurate weather and climate forecasts. Global Ocean Observing System 12 Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory
15 Moored Buoys Moored Buoys provide continuous monitoring of the ocean and atmosphere in locations far from land. A research vessel deploys and anchors the buoys at fixed locations. The buoys regularly collect observations from many different atmospheric and oceanographic sensors and usually supply their own power through the use of solar cells and rechargeable batteries. Because they provide their own power, the moored buoys can sample data at greater frequencies and can communicate longer streams of data to satellites and shore, than can the free-floating drifters or Argo profilers. Moored buoys are usually deployed to serve national forecasting needs, maritime safety needs or to observe regional climate patterns. The Global Tropical Moored Buoy Array (GTM- BA) is a multi-national effort to maintain a large system of fixed buoys for climate research and seasonal forecasting. Components of the global array include the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean/Triangle Trans-Ocean Buoy Network (TAO/TRITON) in the Pacific, the Prediction and Research Moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic (PIRATA), and the Research Moored Array for African-Asian-Australian Monsoon Analysis and Prediction (RAMA) in the Indian Ocean. The array targets tropical phenomenon that impact the climate and seasonal variability, including: Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) in the Pacific warm events in the Atlantic Julian Oscillation in the Indian Ocean African, Australian, and American monsoons Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratories 13
16 Deep Sea Moorings and Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers Beneath the moored buoys, and sometimes deployed with no surface signature at all, are the observing instrumentation of the taut-line moorings. Commonly deployed in waters of more than 4 km, the moorings provide detailed data about the temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll, and water velocity changes through the water column. Dozens of yellow hardhats, which contain hollow glass spheres, provide flotation to keep the mooring line taut and upright even in strong marine currents. Instruments such as thermistor chains, and conductivity and temperature sensors, are located along the line between the hardhat floats. The Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measures the speed of the current as it passes by the instrument by recording the Doppler shift that occurs when sound pulses sent out into the water column bounce off of drifting marine particles. Sophisticated electronics can slice up the acoustic signal and provide a profile of the current velocity across hundreds of meters of depth. Global Ocean Observing System Preparing for deployment of a mooring with hardhats, an ADCP, acoustic releases and the bottom anchor. (Fiamma Straneo, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) 14
17 DART Real-time Tsunami Monitoring Systems The information collected by a network of DART systems currently positioned at strategic locations in the Pacific, northwest Atlantic, and eastern Indian Oceans plays a critical role in tsunami forecasting. The first information available about the source of a tsunami comes from seismic monitors tracking disturbances along the seafloor. If the landslide or tectonic event is large enough to generate a tsunami wave, the DART buoys, recording sea level measurements, will report the propagation of the wave to Tsunami Warning Centers. The result is an increasingly accurate forecast of the tsunami that can be used to issue watches, warnings, or evacuations. The surface transmitter buoy on a Dart Mooring System communicates acoustically with a bottom pressure recorder and processes the signals of sea surface fluctuations. Near the seabed the noise from short-amplitude wind-driven waves are naturally filtered out, leaving the signal from the very long wavelength tsunami relatively easy to discern. Internal computers evaluate when a signal is worrisome and the data is transmitted on to the satellite communications system for final analysis at the Tsunami Warning Centers within minutes of a tsunami-generating seismic event. More often than not, the DART system discerns that an earthquake did not cause a dangerous tsunami, and thus avoids costly false alerts, which would degrade public trust in the warnings and assures prompt response to the tsunami alerts which are delivered. NOAA Center for Tsunami Research 15
18 Satellite Oceanography Satellite oceanography has become a routine part of global observation systems. Satellite imagery has given a new viewpoint to oceanographers, never imagined by early researchers confined between the deck of a ship and the horizon. Satellite imagery reveals swirls, eddies, vast streams and clouds of phytoplankton on scales from 100 m to several thousand kilometers. Over the years a wide variety of research and operational satellites have provided a view of the oceans from above the atmosphere. TOPEX/POSEIDON and the Jason satellites use active radar altimeters to measure sea surface height and slopes, which can be interpreted as pressure gradients driving ocean currents below the surface. Fluctuations of sea-surface height are therefore associated with eddies and meanders of major currents such as the Gulf Stream, the Kuroshiro, and the Aghulos currents. Satellites with the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) routinely deliver 5 km resolution maps of the sea-surface temperature (SST). Sea-surface temperature maps are extremely useful for improving meteorological forecasting and have found civilian uses aiding fishing fleets and helping to predict the onset of harmful algal blooms. The Aquarius/SAC-D spacecraft, due for launch in 2010, will use microwave radiation given off by the sea surface to observe seawater salinity. The Aquarius will be able to measure sea-surface salinity with an accuracy of 0.2 psu, carefully controlling the sensor temperature and making corrections for the roughness of the sea surface by using a scatterometer active radar. While shipboard laboratories can measure salinity with an accuracy of psu, the satellite will surpass in volume what it lacks in precision, by making more measurements of salinity in two months than have been made in the last 125 years of research cruises. SeaWIFS, MODIS and MERIS satellites have provided ocean color by imaging the surface of the ocean at various wavelengths of light, selected for their importance to biological activity, such as chlorophyll ab- Global Ocean Observing System 16
19 sorption wavelengths and colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM). Scientists have learned to interpret the colors of the ocean to provide estimates of biological productivity, seasonal variation of carbon uptake, and the health of the surface waters. The reliance upon satellite missions for fundamental ocean characterization concerns the climate community, which has seen worrisome reductions in support of future scientific satellite missions. The Committee for Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) is coordinating the international virtual constellation of satellites, which working together form an intercalibration and also fill-in the gaps in observation schedules. Maintaining a continuous stream of data from overlapping satellite missions is essential to enable the satellite data to document climate change and ocean ecosystem response. Even so, the trends of climate change are small enough to require extremely accurate calibration. International cooperation to continue intercalibrations and compare satellite data will be a great and worthy challenge. Artist s illustration of the Aquarius/SAC-D spacecraft, scheduled for launch in May It will be the first NASA instrument to measure sea salinity from space. ( Jet Propulsion Laboratories, NASA) 17
20 Satellite Communications GOOS must be capable of delivering data from any location in the oceans to land-based scientists and data analysis centers. This is made possible by the constellation of communication satellites, which can receive data directly from the buoys, floats, and ships at sea. For 30 years the Argos system of polar orbiting satellites has provided complete coverage of the earth s surface, but until recently, low data rates, high power requirements and one-way communication limited its use to large moored buoys or shipboard systems. Current Argos systems have enhanced bandwidth and sensitivity allowing low-power data transmissions. By using Doppler shift data from the instrument transmitters the satellites can determine the position on the surface of the ocean to within 150m. In the late 1990 s the Iridium and Globalstar systems were developed as commercial enterprises to deliver telephony across the globe. These systems offered many services that allowed ocean instrumentation to communicate larger data Delta II was used to launch many of the Iridium satellites ( NASA/Regina Mitchell- Ryall & Jerry Cannon) packets with lower energy expenditures. The advent of low cost and low-power communication has made it possible to develop systems such as the Argo expendable profiler system and the low cost drifter buoy network. Now simple, batterypowered devices may be launched into the ocean and left to drift and take data without a support research vessel nearby to pick up and transfer the data. Data instruments with satellite transmitters are even attached to marine animals and birds to track their behavior and health as they move about the world. Satellite communications have enabled GOOS to accomplish scientific observations not possible just 30 years ago when this type of satellite communication was just beginning.

Today's new for Friday 30th May, where the San Antonio Spurs, New York Rangers and Houston Astros prodigy George Springer steal the headlines.
We start off with the NBA Playoffs, where the San Antonio Spurs moved out to a 3-2 lead over the Thunder last night.
Tim Duncan rolled back the years with a double-double as OKC struggled on both sides of the ball.
To the NHL, where the New York Rangers became the first team to make the 2014 Stanley Cup Finals.
Dominic Moore scored the only goal of the game while Rangers net-minder Henrik Lundqvist stopped all 18 shots that he faced to be perfect on the night.
And finally to baseball, where George Springer is keeping up his remarkable record.
The Houston Astros rookie has had a month to remember, cracking 7 home runs in his last 7 games.

Infused water – full of fresh fruit and herbs is not only pretty to look at, it's super-refreshing as well!
First, I have absolutely no idea how a full month has gone by all of a sudden! I'm so sorry for the lack of posts, but I guess I've been really busy, friends! Second, how about these gorgeous infused waters? It's getting hot out – the forecast here in AZ is calling for our first stretch of 100+ degrees this week. Every year I try my best to hold off on turning on the AC until Memorial Day… Stay tuned to see if I break down this week.
Today is a Recipe ReDux post day, and the theme is cocktails and mocktails for spring and summer parties, but I'm keeping it really easy and refreshing by sharing some tips and my favorite combos for infused waters. They're a great way to stay hydrated and get your 64 ounces of water in, without adding any added sugar or calories at all. Continue Reading..
Best summer fruit? Watermelon, without a doubt! Here's why and how to eat lots of this nutritious fruit all summer long.
If summer produce had an academy awards, it would go something like this… Best vegetable (OK I know it's really a grain) goes to corn on the cob, for it's starring role as grilled street corn. Best fruit – has to go to watermelon, for it's starring role in EVERYTHING. I can't even narrow it down to one or two starring roles or dishes, because they're all so delicious and positively summery! Whether you eat it straight, over the kitchen sink, with juice dripping down your chin, or you use a ripe, sweet watermelon in a recipe, nothing says summer fruit quite like it.
Craving some clever, festive and fun holiday foods for your Christmas table this year? Look no further!
Well, hello sugar plum fairies and twinkly lights. It's so nice to see you again! With the exception of crowded mall parking lots and brainstorming for gifts for those people who have everything, I really do love this time of the year. Of course, for me, it's all about the food. I get a little bit obsessed with the pinning, planning, shopping, and baking, which means that by the day after Christmas, I'm usually feeling like I need a very long vacation from my kitchen. Continue Reading..
This month's Recipe ReDux is all about tea. Our members are cooking and baking and stirring up tea-inspired healthy dishes. And I really did have a great (really cool, even ice creamy or sorbet-like) creation in mind. But time got the best of me, so you'll just have to wait – I promise I'll share something really creative with tea, but just not today. Today I'm sharing iced tea. I know, yawwwn.
This isn't just any iced tea, and it certainly doesn't come from a can. Citrus Spiked Chai Sun Tea is simple to make, and delicious to sip on a hot summer day. If you've never had it, Chai tea is sweet and spicy, and full of antioxidants. It commonly includes spices like cardamom, black pepper, cloves, cinnamon, vanilla, and ginger, which are considered "warming spices" in Chinese medicine, and have lots of health benefits.

It's time for another Recipe ReDux post, and this month's theme is ~ "Beverages Are Hot. Whether you're serving up something hot or cool, kid-friendly or happy hour worthy, show us your healthier drink."
It's true that sometimes browsing over the drinks menu is just as great as the eats menu. I love when restaurants are cleaver and creative with their cocktails and go out of their way to make their nonalcoholic drinks fun and interesting.
A few months ago I experimented with Spiced Candied Ginger, and was left with the most delicious ginger syrup as a tasty by-product of that recipe. It was too good to discard, so I ended up using it in tea, and splashed in seltzer water, and in this completely delicious and amazing Ginger Pear Martini.
I know the Recipe ReDuxers asked us to make it healthy…but sometimes you just need a fun and festive mixed drink. For my your mental health. Just sayin'.
Have you ever noticed that ever few years there's a new Super Food? Remember the oat bran craze in the 80's (OK maybe some of you are too young, but we really thought oat bran would save us all), then there were flax seeds. I'm sure you were there when there was a run on Greek yogurt a few years ago– we couldn't and still can't get enough. Next came kale. Well, now it's Chia seeds (yes, as in ch ch ch chia… As seen on TV). Someone realized that those tiny seeds are good for something other than growing fur-like greenery on clay animal and people shapes.
The chia plant is native to Mexico and Central American, and it's thought that chia seeds were an ancient Aztec super food. Today, we know they are full of omega-3 fats, antioxidants, and fiber. Two tablespoons of chia seeds adds about 120 calories, but it provides a whopping 10 grams of fiber (!), and more than twice as much omega-3 (heart healthy) fat as an ounce of walnuts.

If you follow my blog, then you know I've been working on the AICR's New American Plate Challenge for the past two months. It's a twelve-week challenge to get your plate and your body in better shape, to reduce your risk of cancer. The challenge goals for the past few weeks were to continue working on exercise, by picking up the intensity, and to work on limiting meat. Continue Reading..
So what's with all of the green smoothies? I've been seeing recipes for this new Super Food all over the place, and after a quick Google search, it seems that there isn't an ailment in the dictionary they can't cure – (see acne, bloating, constipation…) and the health benefits, Oh My! (also see detox, energy, fiber…). Continue Reading..
Think a flu shot is all you need to protect yourself from the flu? Think again. The flu shot protects against most, but not all strains of the flu. For additional protection against the flu, and other winter viruses, work on boosting you immune system, so if you are exposed, you have a fighting chance. Continue Reading..

- New Orleans Voodoo Tarot Set by Martinez
New Orleans Voodoo Tarot and Book Set
by Louie Martinez
The product of African, West Indian, and Catholic influences, Voodoo is a polytheistic religion usually associated with magical and ecstatic rites. With a firm foundation in the classical Tarot, the authors have drawn strong and workable parallels among the Waite and Thoth Tarots, the Voodoo tradition as it is practiced in New Orleans, and the Qabalistic Tree of Life.
Glassman's distinctive and evocative images mirror the face of New Orleans Voodoo that has emerged from the Dahomey tradition of West Africa, as well as from the Creole and South American cultures.
This book and 79-card deck comprise the first Tarot to celebrate an African-American culture in both spirit and imagery.
Explains many of the rituals of the Voodoo religion in the context of a variety of Tarot spreads and readings, adding a completely new dimension to this very ancient tradition of divination and meditation.

Race walking might not be "sexy" but celebrity agent Max Markson says silver medallist Jared Tallent has potentially missed out on hundreds of thousands of dollars as a result of losing Olympic gold to Russian drug cheat Sergey Kirdyapkin.
Cycling track queen Anna Meares says winning gold lifted her profile and Markson encourages Tallent to "make a big fuss" if he gets a retrospective medal so he can "make hay while the sun shines".
Tallent finished second to Kirdyapkin in the 50-kilometre walk at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. The Russian had been banned as a drug cheat in the lead up to those Games and following them, but bizarrely deemed clean when he won gold.
It's expected Tallent will eventually be awarded the gold, especially after the World Anti-Doping Agency's report into doping in Russian athletics was released on Tuesday.
But he's been missing out on potential sponsorship money that comes with being an Olympic gold medallist since London.
Markson said it wouldn't be a massive pot of gold because race walking wasn't a "blue-ribbon sport" like the 100-metre sprint, but he'd missed out on a pot nonetheless.
He said Tallent had proved himself as a consistent performer on the world stage and was marketable as a result.
As it stands, Tallent has won two Olympic silvers and a bronze, plus a world championship silver and two bronze, and a Commonwealth Games gold and bronze as well.
"Sponsorship is a hard, hard game for the lesser track-and-field disciplines. I'm sure Sally Pearson has got great profile for her discipline, it's better for her, but for walking it's just a hard game. It's not sexy," Markson told Fairfax Media on Wednesday.
"Would he have picked up another $100,000 in sponsorship - maybe - but would he have picked up $1 million? No. Would he have picked up half a million? No."
Meares said it was a positive that Tallent could potentially be rewarded for doing "the right thing".
"For me and my experiences in terms of stepping on top of the podium and getting that gold medal, your profile is lifted, the interest is lifted and people are aware of you as a result of that platform," she said.
"I hope for Jared that will still be the case, even in a different scenario."
Markson said if Tallent does get a retrospective gold then he should "light it up baby" to ensure he gets as much exposure as he can in the lead up to next year's Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, when he could potentially be walking for back-to-back gold.
"If they do give him the gold medal, he and his management should make a big fuss of it," he said.
"They should see if they can get the Prime Minister to present it to him, or [International Association of Athletics Federations president] Seb Coe to come over and present it.
"Make it a fuss so it can become something he can generate and use as a springboard to generate greater exposure for him and his sport, and from there hopefully increased sponsorship will come.
"Make hay while the sun shines and if that sun shines again, light it up baby."

I have edema badly.
I have edema badly, my right hand is hurting a bit, and it's kind hard even rise up my arms. Oh boy, my weight has gained 34 pounds already. :( I start to worry a little bit.
Oh, that sucks! Only a little bit longer and hopefully it will all go away.
I don't think 34 lbs is too much. Especially since a lot of it is probably water weight with the swelling. Hang in there!

This article attacks Conservative Christians though we recognise that Liberal Christians can be better.
Christian economics can refer to a combination of theology and economics that attempts to biblically justify a strict laissez-faire free market system, which, in a way, makes it the opposite of liberation theology. Traditionally this was how Christian economics was defined.
Christian economics defined differently is closer to liberation theology and argues that Jesus valued poor people, also Christians have a duty to share what they have.[1] A few Christians are arguing for this new definition.
Explain the paradox. How can the same term have totally opposite meanings? Well, different Christians have totally different ideas about what they think Jesus wanted and both use the term Christian economics to describe what they or their group believes.
Right wing Christian economicsEdit
Right wing Christian economics usually gets ideas from on Dominionist theology and adds some Austrian school economics together with other libertarian economic thought. The most important person in the United States putting right-wing Christian economics forward is probably Gary North, who founded the Institute for Christian Economics (ICE). While organizations such as the Foundation for Economic Education and the Ludwig von Mises Institute aren't dedicated to Christian economics, they have published plenty of stuff by North and his followers.
It is assumed that the poor are at fault for being unproductive, when examples are given of poor people who are not at fault, (American people who became unexpectedly sick with medical costs beyond what their insurance covers, Third World poor people etc.) the Religious Right claims these poor people are, "Not our responsibility".
The Bible was written roughly between 6 thousand and 2 thousand years ago so inevitably not everything in the Bible suits the modern world. When a modern Tax or other institution helps poor people at the expense of Rich people Right wing proponents of Christian economics declare that unbiblical. Modern institutions that favour rich People are not similarly condemned even if there is no biblical foundation. [2]
Large goverrnmentEdit
Never one to pass up trying to piggyback onto an existing theme, Lyndon LaRouche also uses the term and has even written a book: The Science of Christian Economics. LaRouche's meaning is very different from that of Gary North, in that LaRouche claims to promote a Hamiltonian and Rooseveltian "American system" of economics, typically involving central banking and large government-funded infrastructure projects.
Compassionate Christian economicsEdit
There are a great many famous Jesus quotes like, "Blessed are the poor." and more compassionate Liberal Christians assume Jesus meant what he said. Some try and show up why they think the Christian economics of the Religious Right is unChristian. They also develop a different way of doing things where Christians share what they have. These Christians call their system Christian economics as well. [3] Christian economics traditionally has meant right wing uncompassionate economics but this may change if the new definition gets to be accepted. Liberapedia will wait and see.

Marine based (DHA & EPA) Omega-3 and natural antioxidant phytonutrients have been his focus of research and product development. With his findings that a large body of research proves the importance of DHA & EPA marine origin Omega-3s, antioxidant phytonutrients, enzymes and probiotics along with other natural ingredients to pets' health and longevity he wanted to help pet parents have pets in excellent health and living happy full natural lives.
He also discovered that established pet industry dietary supplement makers / suppliers were not bothering to reformulate their products to include and make available ingredients that had the latest in scientific research findings. In essence these established pet dietary supplement makers / suppliers were happy to just continue to make and market dietary pet supplements that had old discredited and ineffective ingredients because they could make more money than using modern more costly however FAR MORE EFFECTIVE ingredients.
He believes that more pet parents are becoming aware that high temperature and grain containing processed pet foods do not contain all of the nutrients and "Natural Health Factors" needed for our pets to have a maximum level of health and have a happy long natural lifespan.
