A Divine Interruption
"The word of the LORD came to Jonah...." Jonah 1:1 (NIV)
I couldn't wait to spend the whole afternoon alone. My husband was mountain biking and both of our children had plans for the day. All I could think of was the fact I would spend hours by myself...no one asking for anything...no one needing me. It was going to be a glorious day!
But then it happened. My daughter came bursting through the door saying she forgot she had a project due the next day. She needed me to take her here and rush there to purchase items she needed to complete it. Soon it became our project.
Frustration rose up within me with every step of the way. My words were few and short. I was clearly irritated and did not hesitate showing it. She was interrupting my plans.
Jonah experienced an unwelcome interruption, too. Jonah was a prophet to the Northern Kingdom of Israel. He was popular, successful, and highly respected. Then one day it happened. "The word of the LORD came to Jonah."(Jonah 1:1 NIV) and God interrupted his life of comfort with a command to leave his beloved country and people to preach-not to God's people-but to one of their most hated enemies.
God's call would take Jonah's life down a completely different path than the life he currently enjoyed. Jonah felt angry and frustrated...the same way I did when my daughter came bursting into the house...the same way we all do when an interruption disrupts our lives whether it be an adult child coming back home to live, an unexpected pregnancy, a job loss, a startling diagnosis or an unforeseen move.
Jonah was frustrated to such an extreme that he not only disobeyed God's instruction, he ran in the opposite direction to get as far away from God as he could.
If only Jonah could have seen the end of the story. He would have seen that this "divine" interruption was an invitation to participate in one of the more miraculous events in history, an opportunity to be part of God's eternal plan for His Kingdom.
Eventually Jonah obeyed, and God used him to bring about the revival of an entire nation of people. Jonah spoke only eight words, "Forty days from now Nineveh will be destroyed" (Jonah 3:4 NLT), and within 24 hours the people of Nineveh repented and turned from their wickedness! Some scholars believe this to be the greatest revival in human history.
Jonah's story helps me redefine "interruptions." In fact, it has made me examine every interruption to see if God's hand is in it...if there is something divine in which He is inviting me to partake.
Just a few weeks ago, we took our daughter to college. I would give anything to have that divine interruption back...to have an entire afternoon to shop with her and spend time working on a project together.
How might Jonah's story help you see the interruptions in your life differently? Join me today in trusting God with His plan, accepting His divine invitation to experience Him and be part of His plans in ways you may not expect. Will you yield your plan for His today?
Heavenly Father, thank You that You have a plan for my life...a plan to prosper and not to harm me...a plan to give me hope and a future. Thank You that You allow divine interruptions in my life to draw me back into that plan if I ever wonder away or get too comfortable with where I am. Please give me eyes to see and a heart to respond to each and every divine interruption. Enable me through the power of Your Holy Spirit to obey. Amen.

Getting help for an eating disorder
According to the Mental Health Foundation, an estimated 1.6 million people in the UK have an eating disorder. Conditions like bulimia and anorexia are serious mental health issues, and the earlier those who receive help to tackle these conditions, the better.
In fact, we think it's generally acceptable to say that anyone who's struggling with an eating disorder needs support, empathy, and treatment. Without it, the effect on physical an mental wellbeing could be fatal.
Can you treat an eating disorder on your own?
Yes. There are many self-help books and online resources offering guidance to people who are trying to cope with an eating disorder; they range in content, and approach, but most offer strategies aimed at improving eating habits – and several outline the potential effects of what can happen if the condition goes untreated.
Having said that, and realising that kind of information is a useful reference point, the NHS believes the best course of action is to speak to a medical professional, who can decide what the right treatment should be, based on the person's individual circumstances.
What support can you get for an eating disorder?
One of the earliest steps towards recovery is a visit to a GP. He or she may not be an expert in this area, but GPs have excellent access to specialists and other groups who can help. There are many charities and organisations that also offer support, which may be useful if you – or the person coping with the disorder – feels uncomfortable talking to a family doctor:
- Beat
- National Centre for Eating Disorders
- Eating Disorders Support
Treating an eating disorder
According to the MHF, the best way to treat an eating disorder on a long-term basis is to seek out specialist help. Treatments that involve talking to a professional - such as counselling or cognitive behavioural therapy – will usually try to deal with the underlying emotional issues that are causing the problems on the surface. Other options include:
- Family therapy – talking together, alongside a professional mediator, and discussing how the disorder affects more than one person
- Psychodynamic therapy – talking about your life and experiences, and how that has shaped your current thoughts and behaviour
- Medication – sometimes, antidepressants like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors could be used to treat binge eating or bulimia
Because eating disorders are such complex conditions, recovery is different for everyone. So do talk to your GP or specialist about the options: a professional can explain in detail what each treatment involves and why they think it will work for you.

After Bordeaux it was down the coast and over the Pyrenees . We edged along the Atlantic, admiring sea birds and pretty bodies on beaches as well as the Dune of Pyla, the largest sand dune (in the world? in Europe? in France? – I can't remember) before hitting bad traffic and the mountains in Spain. We were entranced by seductive San Sebastien, which has a long luxurious half moon of beach as accessory to an elegant town of beautiful old buildings and plenty of new wealth. Feeling pasty and underdone, I waded through the bronzed bodies into the Bay of Biscay before getting back into our car in a relentless pursuit of art and modern architecture. We hit the motherlode (one of several) in the next town, when we swung around a curve off a mountain road and stared straight at the gleaming impossibility of the Guggenheim Bilbao. The museum sits like a beached ocean liner in a bend in Bilbao's river and dwarfs everything around it, with the exception of the sentries guarding opposite sides - Jeff Koon's flower-covered Puppy and Louis Bourgeois's Maman spider. Our very hip hotel gave us a direct view of the building's rear flank, a sight that was enhanced almost immediately after check in by a thunderstorm that swept across from the mountains. After watching the lightning sparkle and spend itself, we ventured out for dramatic close-ups of our new neighbor at night. Note in the pictures the bright modern bridge that Bilbao built as a companion piece – it flashes on and off at intervals, playfully reflecting off the museum's metal surface. The next day we discovered not only the impressive interior and some very interesting art, especially the sculpture installation by Juan Munoz, but also the old town of Bilbao with ancient narrow streets, gracious plazas, and a market that transported us light years away from the Guggenheim.

Bordeaux France
Gray rainy days in Paris - perfect for reflecting back on ten days traveling in the hot sunny south. Mostly in Spain, but also two days in Bordeaux, a city we'd skirted on earlier trips but had never visited. Our timing was good – in recent years Bordeaux has shaken off old dirt and dust, renewing itself into an elegant city with well-kept pedestrian areas, smart shops, myriad plazas full of cafes, sleek trams, and great night life. Unlike so many European cities, Bordeaux wasn't bombed during modern wars, (although it did duty more than once as capital in exile) so the city center has a rare architectural harmony from the glory days of the 18th century. I was especially taken with the extraordinary range of faces staring down from the facades – winking, grinning, leering, wagging stone tongues and rolling carved eyes. In the early 19th century the city was a place of refuge for Spanish intellectuals, including the painter Goya who died there in 1828. I came across a statue of him close to our hotel, with his signature furry top hat in hand. It wasn't hard to picture him, despite age, deafness, and bitter disappointment at the ways of men, enjoying local oysters and drinking the magical Bordeaux wines.

Many may not be aware that the man who unleashed "Coyote Ugly" on an unsuspecting world is also behind the consistently intelligent dramas "Cold Case," "Without a Trace" and the two ratings-topping "CSI" series (a third one of which, set in New York, will debut in the fall). And his venture into reality TV has resulted in the Emmy-winning and highly regarded "The Amazing Race."
"I don't think that Jerry Bruckheimer is to 'CSI' what David E. Kelley was to 'Ally McBeal,' " says Robert Thompson, professor of media and popular culture at Syracuse University. "He's this impresario with a real ability to package just the right thing at just the right time that the American audience is responding to. He's a guy who is able to package and deliver it, and that's not unimportant. And he's got a knack for getting good people to deliver it for him."

From Rockford, Illinois, USA:
I have had type 2 diabetes for a little over a year, and I recently began taking Lipitor [a medication for increased cholesterol levels], but my blood sugar numbers have been much higher. Is Lipitor known to increase blood sugar numbers?
I treat a lot of patients who have type 2 diabetes with the combination you are asking about, and I do not see worsening blood sugar control with Lipitor. This is true whether it is taken along with insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents.

WEC 47: The Return of The Weigh-InMarch 5, 2010
After a brief hiatus, The Weigh-In is back in action for WEC 47 Saturday night in Columbus, Ohio.
Here's the way it works:
The day before the event, the fighters step on the scales for the weigh-in.
For each major event, I'll do the same, except instead of stepping on a scale and scaring the women and children, this version of The Weigh-In will break down the card so you know what to watch for on fight night.
Brian Bowles (8-0-0) vs. Dominick Cruz (14-1-0) for the WEC Bantamweight Title
It's been nearly seven months since Brian Bowles shocked fight fans the world over with his first-round upset of Miguel Angel Torres at WEC 42. Now that his broken hand is fully healed and he's ready to return to the cage, his first title defense comes against a very tough Dominick Cruz.
Obviously, the champion is the favorite, and with good reason. All Bowles has done in his eight professional fights is stop each man who has stood opposite him in the cage. That list includes a who's who of talent in the WEC 135-pound class—Torres, Damacio Page, Marcos Galvao, Will Ribiero, and Charlie Valencia.
Fighting out of The HardCore Gym in Athens, Georgia, you can be sure that coaches Adam and Rory Singer will have Bowles ready for war on Saturday night.
But Cruz is not a man to be taken lightly. He earned his place in this title fight with four straight wins after dropping to bantamweight in June 2008. Last time out, he handed Joseph Benavidez the first loss of his career by maintaining dominant position and using his length to his advantage.
The only blemish on his otherwise pristine record is a loss to Benavidez's friend and training partner Urijah Faber. That bout was contested at 145-pounds and was for the WEC Featherweight title. It was also Cruz's first time under the bright lights of the WEC.
Miguel Angel Torres (36-2-0) vs. Joseph Benavidez (11-1-0)
Torres returns to the ring for the first time since losing his coveted title to Bowles back in August. He's switched up his entire training team, joining forces with Kru Mark DellaGrote and Team Sityodtong in Boston for this fight.
The long-time champion will be looking to make a statement Saturday night. In a business where your last result is the only one that matters, Torres' lengthy title run and unbeaten streak are both memories, replaced by the words "former champion" and a second tick in the loss column.
He'll face a stern test in Team Alpha Male member Benavidez. Like all of his teammates, Benavidez possesses strong wrestling, a varied striking attack, and cardio for days. Last time out, everyone wondered what the wrestler would do against Rani Yahya, a jiu jitsu machine at home on the ground.
Instead of going to the ground and trying his luck, Benavidez stopped Yahya with a series of punches before the clock reached the two-minute mark.
Expect fireworks in this one.
Jens Pulver (22-12-1) vs. Javier Vasquez (13-3-0)
This is the most interesting bout on the card, at least for me.
I am a life-long Jens Pulver fan, so getting to see "Lil' Evil" return to the cage and throw down again is awesome. Hearing Pulver declare himself ready to roll and in better shape—both mentally and physically—than he's been in for quite some time has me full of nervous energy.
As is the theme for the evening, the opposition is stiff for the more recognizable member of the pairings.
Javier Vasquez is no joke. Since debuting in the WEC, the Cuban-American has gone the distance with both Deividas Taurosevicius and L.C. Davis, and come away on the wrong side of two split decisions.
This will be a serious test for the veteran Pulver, and a chance to show those who think he should retire that there is still some fight left in the first UFC Lightweight champion.
Deividas Taurosevicius (12-3-0) vs. L.C. Davis (15-2-0)
The two men who have beaten the aforementioned Javier Vasquez will get in the ring ahead of him this time around in an effort to take another step up the Featherweight ladder.
Relying on outstanding wrestling and positional control, Taurosevicius is a handful to deal with. He dominated Mackens Semerzier last time out and has won eight-of-nine, including wins over Bart Palaszewski, Dan Lauzon, and Anthony "Cheesesteak" Morrison.
Davis, a former Miletich Fighting Systems student, is no slouch either.
The two losses on his record came at the hands of Wagnney Fabiano and Michihiro Omigawa. The former claimed the IFL Featherweight title with the win, while the later is currently ranked sixth in the world in the weight class.
If you like grappling, this one is for you. If not, now would be a good time to grab a snack.
Bart Palaszewski (32-13-0) vs. Karen Darabedyan (9-1-0)
When you're a black belt in judo, karate, and tae kwon do and win your WEC debut by beating former Lightweight champ "Razor" Rob McCullough, you have my attention.
Karen Darabedyan is the Armenian judoka who earned a split decision win over McCullough at WEC 44, and looks to add to his WEC success by beating another grizzled veteran in Bart Palaszewski.
I had a chance to speak with Palaszewski last weekend, and in addition to being hugely entertaining, he's also ready to start putting together some wins and get back on track in the WEC.
He earned a split decision victory over Anthony Pettis in his last bout and wants to reclaim the form he showed between August 2005 and August 2007, a two-year stretch that saw "Bartimus" go an impressive 14-1-0.
Scott Jorgensen (8-3-0) vs. Chad George (11-4-0)
The kid with the crazy hair, numerous tattoos, and leopard-print skin returns to action on Saturday night, as Scott Jorgensen aims to keep on his march to the Featherweight title.
For those currently aghast at my description of Jorgensen, don't worry—we joked about all three of those things and more last weekend in putting together this feature for MMA Madness .
While some consider the Boise State product the forgotten man in the featherweight division, Jorgensen isn't concerned. He just wants to win another fight and go get more ink. He's already got an appointment made for after the fight.
His opponent, Chad George, is a submission specialist who earned a unanimous decision win in his WEC debut and has won six consecutive fights.
Jorgensen will be a big step up in competition for "The Savage," but it takes a lot more than luck to come away from your first fifteen fights with just four losses, so expect George to be up to the challenge on Saturday night.
Chad Mendes (5-0-0) vs. Eric Koch (9-0-0)
This is the fight seriously addicted freaks like myself are anxiously awaiting. Two undefeated youngsters going head-to-head.
Mendes is another member of the San Diego-based Team Alpha Male. On a team dominated by strong wrestlers, Mendes might be the best of the bunch, and that is saying a lot.
He's debuting in the WEC with this fight after earning five wins in the Palace Fighting Championships organization. Working with WEC veterans like Urijah Faber, Danny Castillo, and Joseph Benavidez will certainly help Mendes be prepared for his big stage debut.
Eric Koch is a tough kid from Iowa who earned eight-straight victories on the tough Iowa / Illinois / Wisconsin circuit before debuting in the WEC with a unanimous decision win over Jameel Massouh.
A submission specialist, Koch would normally be at home on the ground, but it's hard to say how comfortable he'll feel with Chad Mendes working for positions and trying to ensure that Koch is the one leaving with a loss.
Danny Castillo (8-2-0) vs. Anthony Pettis (7-1-0)
Yet another member of the Alpha Male brigade takes the stage, as Danny Castillo looks to rebound from a tough loss to Shane Roller at WEC 44.
After controlling a good portion of the fight, Roller was able to take Castillo's back and sink in a rear naked choke, leaving Castillo in danger of acquiring a second consecutive loss.
Anthony Pettis is in the same position. In speaking with him over the weekend for a feature at MMA Madness , he made it clear that the prospect of a second straight loss is a big motivator heading into Saturday night.
Fully healed from September shoulder surgery, Pettis dropped a close split decision to Bart Palaszewski in December, the first loss of his career. "Showtime" has no interest in feeling the pain of losing every again.
Leonard Garcia (13-5-0) vs. George Roop (10-6-0)
A member of Team Jackson, Garcia is a power puncher who has alternated between wins and losses over his last four fights. He's coming off a loss.
More important in determining the outcome of this fight than any coincidental patterns stemming from his results is the fact that "Bad Boy" will be facing a last minute replacement in former TUF contestant George Roop.
Garcia has a ton of power and likes to swing for the fences, a strategy that behooves Roop to use his length to his advantage and bring the fight to the floor as quickly as possible.
This will be a jump back up in weight for Roop, who fought for the UFC as a lightweight before competing as a featherweight in an Arizona Rage in the Cage event and debuting in the WEC as a bantamweight in January.
Fredson Paixao (8-3-0, 1 NC) vs. Courtney Buck (6-2-0)
Courtney Buck steps in as a late replacement for Brian Caraway, and gets to deal with a strong grappler in Fredson Paixao.
Buck lost his WEC debut in December to undefeated Brandon Visher. Prior to that bout, he had put together a six-fight winning streak in his home state of Minnesota.
Paixao is much tougher than his record indicates. A BJJ black belt and member of the Gracie Barra Fight Team, his three losses have come against solid opposition (Yoshiro Maeda, Marcos Galvao, and Wagnney Fabiano).
Thus far, Paixao hasn't been able to accurately translate his outstanding grapppling into the cage.
Ricardo Lamas (7-1-0) vs. Bendy Casimir (19-5-2)
Lamas is somewhat of a forgotten man in the WEC featherweight fold. He debuted on just a week's notice against Bart Palaszewski at WEC 39, and used his strong wrestling base to upset the IFL veteran.
A big time knockout courtesy of Danny Castillo may be the cause for the amnesia about Lamas, but he's since returned to the winner's circle by beating a tough James Krause at WEC 44.
Bendy Casimir is a French veteran who could certainly surprise a few people on Saturday's opening bout, including Lamas.
He's fought all over the map on the other side of the Atlantic, and holds a win over TUF 8 finalist and UFC rising star Andre Winner.
While Lamas likes to utilize his wrestling to control his fights, Casimir has a slick submission game and won't hesitate to snatch an errant arm or neck if left unprotected.
As always, the WEC is offering up an outstanding card.
If you're a fight fan and you don't have plans for Saturday night, there is no way you should miss WEC 47.
And if you've got plans, set your DVR because you won't want to miss this event.

Dry fuck is not the same thing as dry hump. Dry fuck is the result of a girl skipping foreplay and cutting straight to the intercourse without being in the mood. Her pussy is not as wet as it would be otherwise, so therefore the intercourse was just a 'dry fuck.'
When the hooker saw what a fat slob John was, she decided to speed up her for work and just dry fuck John.

As I alluded to earlier many times people accuse each other of domestic violence because they're trying they have some sort of motivation they have something to gain it is to gain grounds in a divorce child custody battle or for whatever other reasons simply to get back at someone other defenses to domestic violence include self defense you were the person that was attacked.
First you were defending yourself of the defense of others if you see someone being attacked by another person you are legally domestic violence attorney Tucson to help the person defend themselves let me say that more clearly if you see counterattacking your sister and you step in and you defend your sister who would have a claim for self defense you step in and you defend her against your brother and then you are later arrested for domestic violence against your brother you would be able to assert the defense of defense of others and if jury.
Believed that you were defending your sister then they must find you not guilty all their common defenses are accident mistake or simply that it wasn't you at all every case indifferent some cases will have many defenses some cases will have a few some cases will have strong defenses some cases will have weak defenses one of the most common questions.
I get is how should I plea should I plead guilty to domestic violence the answers absolutely not until your lawyer and you have sat down and thoroughly discussed the case and your lawyers advised you that it's in your best interest to plead guilty you should not I always advise my clients to first plead not guilty let us take a look at the case let us find out if there are any defenses available to us that maybe you haven't thought of in many of the cases that I've taken on where my client probably.
Is guilty we are able to resolve it where my clients case dismissive they do a term of probation if you simply just go in and plead guilty you won't get that it's also possible that even if you think you're guilty one of these defenses may apply to you I've had-many cases where we've gone to trial presented a defense and my client was found not guilty I'm criminal.

UN human rights representatives call off visit to Guantanamo
[JURIST] United Nations [official website] human rights representatives Friday rejected an offer to visit the US prison camp in Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive] after US officials formally refused their demand for unconditional access to the detainees [JURIST report] earlier this week. The envoys from the UN Commission on Human Rights [official website]had wanted free access [JURIST report] to interview the 500 prisoners currently being held. They released a statement [text] saying, "We deeply regret that the United States government did not accept the standard terms of reference for a credible, objective and fair assessment of the situation of the detainees.

You are viewing a printer-friendly page from the Climate Change Institute website, online at http://climatechange.umaine.edu.
The Colle Gnifetti glacier of the Monta Rosa Massif on the Swiss-Italian border is perfectly situated to offer insight into the intersection of environment (climate) and culture (history of the economy, political stability, pollution, disease) in medieval Europe. While ice cores previously collected at Colle Gnifetti were sampled at state-of-the-art resolution for the time, it was nevertheless impossible to differentiate annual or finer layering in the period older than 1500 A.D. The 2013 Colle Gnifetti expedition thus sought to collect a new ice core that could be analyzed using the ultra-high-resolution laser based technology developed in the Climate Change Institute's W.M. Keck Laser Ice Facility.az
Team leader Pascal Bohleber (University of Heidelberg), drillers Remo Walther and Samuel Marending (University of Bern), and field assistants Nicole Spaulding (University of Maine), Helene Hoffman, Johanna Kerch, and Martin Hackel (University of Heidelberg) carried out the expedition, which took place between August 5th-12th 2013. Drilling of the ~73 m ice core was achieved in only three days, although bad weather and electrical delays extended our total time on the glacier to seven days.
We began our journey with a short period of acclimatization to high altitude at the Gornergrat Observatory (3120 m.a.s.l). From there we were able to observe the shifting weather at our destination. When a window of good weather opened, we were taken to the glacier by helicopter. Touching down next to our tent frame and gear, which had been delivered two days earlier, we took only a short moment to bask in the beauty of our surroundings before jumping into the task at hand. Preparing the tent for drilling required attaching an impossibly heavy skin that was still easily caught by the wind. It took our seven-person crew and one passing Italian mountaineer three hours to finish the task! After setting up the tent, we excavated a 1.6 m pit for the drill, set up the ice core processing station and tested the generators. Despite our original trials with the tent, we were able complete those tasks, drill our first two meters of ice core, climb the 100 meters of vertical ascent to the hut where we would sleep and arrive in time for dinner!
Our second day on the glacier involved much more digging, as we evacuated a trench to store boxes of cored ice, and hours of fast-paced drilling. Throughout the day, cloud cover in the valley increased and we were subjected to an interesting array of precipitation. A sample of the soft hail (graupel) that fell just prior to our lunch was collected for posterity. We continued to drill, keeping a close eye on the weather. While processing, we noted multiple layers of Saharan dust (distinguished by its red brown color), an insect at 28 m that could be used for 14C dating and the transition from firn to ice at 32 m. By 4 PM the visibility had become greatly reduced and we were forced to beat a quick retreat to the hut at the first sign of lightning in the distance.
Unbeknownst to us, we were to remain in the hut for the next two days as limited visibility, high winds, at least a foot of fresh snow, and a few spectacular lightning storms kept us from drilling. Throughout those two days snow blew into the tent and worked its way into our equipment. As a result, when the weather stabilized and we were able to return to the drill site, we experienced some electrical malfunctions that required all the resourcefulness and social connections Remo and Sam possessed to fix it. We were waylaid by the electrical malfunction for one and one half days, but were able to continue doing science as we exhumed the borehole casing from a 2010 drilling effort and deployed a borehole camera. Once the electrical components were fixed, we drilled until dusk – ceasing operations at a total depth of 52 m. We reached the hut as the setting sun bathed the Matterhorn in an orange glow and darkness fell. It was a magnificent sight.
The next day we decided to forgo breakfast at the hut and descended with our luggage to the drill site as the sun was rising. Hopes were high that if we put in enough hours, we would reach bedrock that day. We drilled through the day with no problems, noting the first small stones, indicative of bedrock at 68 meters. Around 73 meters when the drill barrel repeatedly came back empty and the cutters became increasingly chewed up by rock, we declared that bedrock had been reached. Given the bad weather and electrical issues we had experienced, our team was elated and there were hugs all around. After our small celebration we broke down camp, buried our ice core boxes and were rewarded with a flight down to the valley, a hot shower and good nights sleep.
The next day, very high winds prevented us from retrieving our cargo and samples. We filled the day with restless pacing and a variety of organizational tasks before making what would be our final ascent to the Gornergrat. When the weather improved, we split into a glacier group responsible for digging up the ice core boxes and helping the helitechs load them into slings and a valley group responsible for receiving the cargo and getting the ice cores transferred to a refrigerated train car. Everything and (and everyone) was transported to the valley in seven short flights. Our final job was to deconstruct the tent frame. As we did so, we were able to watch the train containing our ice makes its way out of Zermatt. After a quick lunch we did the same, all the while making plans to begin our investigation of the amazing archive we had just collected.
The ultra-high-resolution measurements of dust and other impurities contributed by the Climate Change Institute will be combined with a Harvard University's new historical geodatabase of the climate of medieval Europe from written sources, 14C and physical properties measurements from the Institut für Umweltphysik, University of Heidelberg (Germany), continuous chemistry and dust measurements from the Physics Institute, University of Bern (Switzerland), as well contributions from the Alfred-Wegener Institute-Bremerhaven (Germany) and the Department of Geosciences, University of Fribourg (Switzerland). The resulting record may allow the first detailed, ice core-based assessment of human-climate interactions during the first millennium AD. The new technology is minimally destructive and will allow the permanent preservation of the new ice core record. The project is supported by a grant from the Arcadia Fund.

Costs of defending Sebastopol's federal lawsuit with CVS Pharmacy have risen to at least $300,000, about what the city annually spends on parks and landscaping, according to city budget documents.
CVS and Armstrong Development have sued Sebastopol claiming that a temporary ban on drive-thru businesses violates their civil rights.
In August 2012, after three years and two dozen often-emotional public hearings, the city approved a $10 million CVS and Chase Bank development at Petaluma and Sebastopol avenues.
Four months later, a City Council that included two new members elected amid a backlash over the development put a moratorium on drive-thrus, which CVS claimed was an integral part of its business. The chain sued the city on Christmas Eve.
The city hired Meyers Nave law firm to fight the lawsuit and budgeted $150,000 per year for two years. But as the case has accelerated, city staff is asking for another $150,000 and hopes to wrap the defense work this fiscal year.
The council will decide on the budget adjustment at its meeting Tuesday night.
"I can't say if it's the most expensive lawsuit the city has ever fought, but it's in the ballpark of being one of the more expensive," said Larry McLaughlin, city manager. "Hopefully next year we will be back to normal and not have that extreme expense."
McLaughlin, who also serves as city attorney, said a lawsuit of this size requires outside counsel. McLaughlin is representing the city in a different case over the CVS development. In that suit, a citizens' group sued the city alleging it overlooked the project's environmental impact.
Mayor Robert Jacob, who was elected last November, said the CVS lawsuit is worth fighting to protect the quality of life of Sebastopol's residents. The council temporarily banned drive-thrus, he said, so they could have more time to study the impact the businesses have on traffic, pedestrian safety and the environment.
Jacob called the lawsuit "frivolous" and said it was "robbing the city of essential city services."
"This is CVS flexing its muscles against a small town and a small budget," he said. "A corporation may have civil rights, but a drive-thru isn't one of them."
CVS is the 13th largest corporation in the U.S., according to Fortune 500. A message left for CVS corporate communications was not returned Monday. CVS has previously declined to comment on the pending litigation.
A hearing on a summary judgment is scheduled for February, and the case could go to trial in August.
John Necker, co-founder of SebastopolCitizens.org, a city government watchdog, said he is not for or against drive-thrus, but regretted that the costs to defend the lawsuit have ballooned.
"I think it's unfortunate that it has reached this state," he said. "They should have anticipated the litigation."
Councilwoman Sarah Glade Gurney said that the city has the right to enact ordinances prohibiting drive-thru businesses. She pointed out that the ordinance does not stop CVS from building the project without a drive-thru.
"It is our prerogative to issue a temporary freeze on drive-thrus," she said. "I think a judge will decide that on our side."

A Psychologist was brought in after one contestant had a meltdown and another dramatically quit Heidi Klum's Lifetime show "Project Runway" on Friday. Sources tell us one contestant, a male designer, "had an episode as the show filmed at Parsons School for Design. A psychologist was brought in to talk to him, but he seemed too nervous and it was decided he should leave the show." Just hours earlier a female designer and contestant disappeared from the set. The source told us, "She just ran off in the middle of the night. The next morning she wasn't in her bed, her suitcase was gone. Producers went to her home, and her doorman said she was upstairs but didn't want to see anyone." The source said she disappeared from the Atlas building in Midtown West, the show's official accommodations for designers. We're told the woman was "paranoid" after being placed with the bottom contestants following the last challenge. The source continued, "We lost two designers in one day. This has never happened. They seem to be under a lot more pressure." As a result, show judge Michael Kors was brought in Friday to speak to the remaining contestants, "calm them down and give them a pep talk." One added, "The show is in its 10th season and has been filming for a week, and there is a lot more tension and pressure on the designers." A rep for Lifetime didn't get back to us.

BBC director general George Entwistle has resigned over a television report that wrongly implicated a former senior Conservative party figure in child sex abuse allegations.
Earlier, Mr Entwistle said the item on the Newsnight programme that incorrectly implicated former Conservative Party treasurer Lord McAlpine should never have been broadcast.
Mr Entwistle had issued a full apology to Lord McAlpine, who, while not named in the report, was wrongly identified on the internet as the alleged abuser at children's homes in Wales in the 1980s.
On Friday, Lord McAlpine went public to rigorously deny the allegations and threaten legal action.
Abuse victim Steve Messham, who was a witness in the Newsnight report, also apologised and said the Tory peer was not the man he'd identified to police in the 1990s as having assaulted him.
In a statement, Mr Entwistle said that in the light of the unacceptable journalistic standards of the Newsnight film he had decided the honourable thing to do was to step down from the post of director general.
The BBC and its bosses have been under huge pressure since a rival broadcaster carried charges last month that a former BBC star, the late Jimmy Savile, was a prolific sex offender, Reuters reports.
To complicate matters for Mr Entwistle, Newsnight pulled a planned expose of Savile shortly after his death last year, and the BBC went ahead with tribute shows.
On Saturday Mr Entwistle, who took up the role on 17 September, admitted under questioning from his own journalists that he had not known in advance about the 2 November Newsnight report, weeks after being accused of being too hands-off over the previous scandal on the same programme.

Family, friends and co-workers of fallen TDCJ District Parole Officer Reuben Hejl of Huntsville applauded his service to his state and agency during the 11th Annual Fallen Officers Memorial Service on May 3.
The TDCJ memorial service is held in Huntsville each year to coincide with National Correctional Officers Week. Hejl was one of a dozen criminal justice professionals lost in the line of duty across the country in 2009. He died on May 19 from injuries suffered in a one-vehicle accident while on a home visit. The 11-year TDCJ veteran, who started his career as a correctional officer, was 35.
To his last moment of life, he was the epitome of devotion and service to this agency, said Texas Board of Criminal Justice Vice-Chairman Tom Mechler of Amarillo while two of Hejls fellow parole officers planted a live oak sapling in his memory on the grounds of the Sesquicentennial Memorial Plaza. Sixty-two trees planted in tribute to TDCJ employees lost in the line of duty over the years now ring the plaza.
TDCJ Executive Director Brad Livingston welcomed a large crowd to the ceremony that also noted the service of officers lost during the past year in five other states. All were honored with a 21-gun salute followed by the playing of Taps.
Today helps us ensure that their sacrifice does not go unnoticed, Livingston said. We owe so much to these public servants who day in and day out protect the public. We should all be proud to have served with those who devoted their lives, and ultimately lost their lives, while providing public safety. We should be equally proud to recognize their sacrifice, honor their memories, and to be able to say that they are not now nor will they ever be forgotten.
Mechler praised the work performed by all TDCJ professionals.
Since joining the Texas Board of Criminal Justice in 2005 and working with and meeting TDCJ employees, I must tell you that they are an impressive group, he told the audience. As a whole, your dedication to service is exceptional, and I want to personally thank you for your efforts.
At the close of the ceremony, TDCJ honor guard members presented Hejls loved ones with a special plaque commemorating his service, then stepped back to salute the family.
Livingston also offered his condolences to Hejls family, friends and colleagues.
I sincerely hope that time will ease the pain of this loss and that it is mitigated by the pride that comes with having worked with them in this difficult and demanding arena while developing a bond that wont break, he said.
Out-of-pocket expenses for seeing a doctor and filling a drug prescription are going up for TDCJ employees and retirees beginning September 1 and may increase again next year.
In May, the Board of Trustees for the Employees Retirement System of Texas approved modest health care cost increases for approximately 500,000 employees and retirees to offset a projected $140 million shortfall in funding. The increases followed input from 45,000 ERS members who responded to a survey earlier this year and a number of public feedback sessions held across the state.
Increases include a $5 hike for HealthSelect members for an office visit with their primary care physicians and $10 more to see a specialist. Inpatient hospital care will go from $100 a day, with a $500 maximum per stay, to $150 a day, up to a maximum of $750. Outpatient services remain at $100 a day, but emergency room care increases from $100 to $150. Prescription drug costs increase by $5 for generics, $10 for name brand, and $20 for non-preferred medicines. For HMO patients, office visits to a primary physician drop from $30 to $25 and seeing a specialist remains at $40 per visit.
At the same time, the annual maximum amount paid by an employee for in-network coinsurance under HealthSelect increases from $1,000 to $2,000, while out-of-network amounts rise from a $3,000 annual maximum to $7,000. Out-of-area annual maximum amounts increase from $1,000 to $3,000. The HMO out-of-area annual maximum amount changes from zero to $2,000.
TDCJ Human Resources Division Director Jan Thornton said the increases announced in May will likely be followed by further increases sometime after next years legislative session. ERS has indicated that the states health care plan faces an $880 million shortfall over the next two years even with the most recent changes.
According to ERS, theyve made the minimum changes necessary to get us through the next fiscal year, Thornton said. There will be further changes that will have to be looked at during the legislative session.
While acknowledging that no one wants to pay higher costs, Thornton said state employees still enjoy one of the best health care plans in the country, noting that no changes were made to dental insurance premiums and that disability rates are actually going down. She said the plan continues to pay 100 percent of employee and retiree premiums and 50 percent for dependents, and that employees can save money by using a TexFlex flexible spending account. Currently, only 17 percent of the TDCJ workforce participates in TexFlex, a benefit that allows employees to pay for planned out-of-pocket health and day care expenses with pretax dollars.
We really encourage people to participate in TexFlex, Thornton said. Its a way to help you budget for your projected expenses.
Other favorable changes approved in May by ERS trustees allow employees to buy more than a 30-day supply of drugs at select retail pharmacies without a maintenance fee charge and the ability to use lower-cost urgent care centers instead of hospital emergency rooms.
People are concerned, obviously, by the increases, but I hope that they see that ERS is trying to look at the whole picture and consider the customers needs as well as being realistic about the fact that weve got to make some changes to remain solvent, Thornton said. What I would like to see our employees do is react with a comprehensive view of whats going on, realizing that in the current economy and fiscal climate, we cant expect to see absolutely no effect. I still think the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages, and I strongly believe that ERS has done everything they could do to minimize the impact that we will see for the upcoming plan year.

From Lake Arthur, Louisiana, USA:
My daughter was sick Wednesday. We took her to the doctor and they said her blood sugar was over 300 mg/dl [16.7 mmol/L] and she had ketones in her urine. They admitted her into the hospital, but her sugar level and ketones went back to normal in a few hours without any insulin or medications. They have no clue what caused it, but said that they do not think it is type 1 diabetes because it shouldn't have gone back to normal without insulin, even if it went into honeymoon because it wouldn't have happened that fast. She has been back to normal ever since and with no symptoms. Her 90 day average sugar test was normal, too. Do you have any ideas about what this might be?
This is a very unusual story. It could be the very beginnings of diabetes or could just be an odd stress response. I would suggest that you do some home monitoring of blood glucose levels - before breakfast, lunch and dinner plus one to two hours after each of these meals. This will give you some idea over a week or so time period what the blood glucose levels are doing. Then, a consultation with a pediatric diabetes specialist would be important and might also include some pancreatic antibody testing.

Normally, I don't watch MSNBC's Hardball; there's really no point. Chris Matthews used to be interesting, but now he's just bitter and a little nuts. But I wanted to take a look today to see how Tweety McTingles was looking, and I am proud to report he looks worried. Hardball's opening segment could've pretty much be called, "Howard Fineman and Chuck 'The Juice' Todd are here to tell me why Obama will win."
And tell McTingles why Obama will win they did.
We call Todd, Chuck "The Juice" Todd, because of his bitter clinging to any juicy-juiced-juicery NBC has manufactured at the exclusion of all other polls. On Todd's planet — let's call it Juicetopia — Romney's not doing well with Independents or late deciders. Sure, the poll is 49-48 Obama — but don't worry, Mr. McTingles, your Precious will win.
This morning Todd was elated, on cloud numero nine, because he was sure Obama had this in the bag. Now, though, he looks less elated. That could be because the juicy-juiced-juicery high is wearing off or because he poked his head out of Planet Juicetopia for a look at Planet Gallup and Planet Rasmussen.

Suggestion for Shanghai 2010
After the Shanghai EXPO has opened more than two months, and after I have visited four times, here is the most important suggestion for Shanghai government. It is good that government recognizes the permanent value of China Pavilion and will maintain it indefinitely for the public to visit. I believe the Provincial Pavilions should also be preserved. The two Pavilions should be joined together. China Pavilion provides one central theme and unified thought about the Chinese civilization – proud and rich and meaningful enough for the whole world to see. The Provincial Pavilions provide multifaceted and magnificent views of China's provinces and special areas. The visits of Zhejiang Pavilion, Shanxi Pavilion, Tibet Pavilion, Xinjiang Pavilion, Hainan Pavilion, etc. would be more than sufficient to prove their permanent values. China Pavilion together with Provincial Pavilions can naturally become the must-see culture venue for domestic and foreign visitors alike. They are good enough to become the Museum of China and its Provinces for the whole world to know and see, not only for the Chinese people. Shanghai would be the logical place to maintain and preserve this precious and wonderful legacy. Chinese everywhere (mainland and overseas) and peoples of all nations would want to take a good look of China and Provincial Pavilions because they are historical, cultural and wonderful.
You may ask how to pay for the management and maintenance of such a huge building and related costs? Revenue can be positively generated by the following means:
1. Admission fee is charged for each visit. The Pavilions are open all year round.
2. Parking fees.
3. Annual membership fee is paid once a year for unlimited visits during the year.
4. The Pavilion Foundation shall be set up as a trust to receive fees and donations and patronage in order to run and maintain the exhibits continuously indefinitely.
5. Patronage donation of one million yuan will get one's name or company's name engraved in a marble war inside China & Provincial Pavilions. The larger the donation, the larger the inscription. People can even donate to have inscriptions in honor of their loved ones who passed away.
6. Gifts shop profit. Gift shops sell post cards of China and Provincial Pavilions, memorabilia, tokens, T shirts, knickknacks, all sorts of gifts that visitors would be interested to buy and take home or give to friends and relatives, etc.
7. Concession payment. Concessions may be granted for fast food, restaurant, sale of food and drink.
8. Services provided by volunteers. Volunteers are non-paid workers to provide services to visitors as guides, helpers, resource persons, information officers, renting wheelchairs, keeping the premises clean, etc.
9. Various program activities include special exhibits and conferences, sales, lectures and movies, visits by the important and famous people, books signing, etc.
10. If needs be, subsidy may be granted by Shanghai or Central government.
11. I am convinced with good management and a small dedicated staff, China & Provincial Pavilions may be financially self-sufficient and even making a small yearly profit if the programs of actions suggested are followed with enthusiasm and done effectively.
12. After visiting Expo 2010 Shanghai China ten times, this is to summarize my critical experience:
A. China Pavilion has proudly succeeded in representing China's 5,000 years of civilization. In particular the famous picture of "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" illustrates the charms of an ancient Chinese city life. It is the Crown Jewel of the Expo; no wonder millions and millions of peoples wanted and have visited the Pavilion.
B. There are many beautiful and worthwhile pavilions at China's Joint Provincial Pavilion and I have voted Zhejiang Pavilion as the no. 1. The beautiful scene of spring peach blossoms at West Lake is most spectacular.
C. The Chinese Private Enterprises Joint Pavilion offers the most spectacular, splendid, and beautiful Climax Show that you will never forget.
D. Lining up at about
13. After visiting Expo 2010 Shanghai China 15 times, I can safely conclude:
A. Without doubt, Shanghai has done well, and the EXPO 2010 is technically a great success, because it has provided the largest and best EXPO in history and achieved and surpassed its goal of attracting more than 70 million visitors. Contrary to the view of a white supremacist, "The contrast between a rising China and a flagging America is reinforced by the Shanghai Expo, a festival of national self-congratulation spread along the banks of the Huangpu River."
B. Thank God, no terrorist attack or major accident or incident ever happened. This speaks well of Shanghai security forces and all security measures taken.
C. In retrospect, one has learned important things. Probably 99.99% of all visitors experienced the first time of visiting a world EXPO of this size. I met some interesting people from many parts of the world.
D. The positive factors are that people have experienced and saw things which they have never done or known before. Shanghai EXPO has impacted every resident of Shanghai directly, and indirectly every Chinese of the mainland and overseas Chinese all over the world. It is unlikely that Shanghai or China will do another EXPO in our lifetime.
E. If Shanghai knew all the facts in advance, probably Shanghai would also do a few things differently, such as preventing crowds from pushing, more convenient transportation, shorter line-up times, etc. The volunteers have overwhelmingly done a very good service, although a few gave visitors misdirection.
F. If I had known all the facts I would have done a little differently.
In my definition, stupidity is doing a not worthwhile thing. In retrospect, lining up 6 hours for Japan Pavilion and watched 1 hour programs – a total of 7 hours deprived of using restroom or drinking water was one of the stupid things I had ever done in my life. Not only Japan Pavilion, all pavilions that required 3 hours or more that I had visited were not worthwhile. How about those who were willing to line up 12 hours for a certain pavilion? Let you be the judge. Out the EXPO line-up emerged some ugly and bad experiences. One quickly learned the meaning of what was "unpleasant" with dirty, noisy, and disorderly (DND) crowds. The most obnoxious were those who insisted they had the right to smoke while lining up in close encounter with thousands of people to enter the EXPO. Another was bad breath.
G. There are a few unusual and unforgettable experiences to mention:
It was no easy task to obtain China Pavilion reservation tickets when millions and millions of visitors competed for them, but visiting China Pavilion was worth all the sufferings and pains and hardships. The famous picture of "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" is a great masterpiece. There is nothing like it in the world. Zhejiang Pavilion and the Climax Show of the Chinese Private Enterprises Joint Pavilion were unforgettable. Riding a Cable Car at Switzerland Pavilion was also interesting. Let all nations and cities learn the big lesson: long lines are definitely not the feature of Better City, Betty Life.
14. Expo 2010 Shanghai China has demonstrated that the nations of the world could come together to show off their national treasures, cultural characteristics, ways of life, and special inventions or products, etc. in a friendly and constructive manner. One idea having permanent value emerges from this unusual collective experience is the fact that Better Life comes from Better City, Better City should make Better Life– and that continuous improving the way of life should be the universal concern of mankind.
15. Shanghai Expo 2010 has demonstrated to the world what China can do in many fronts and did it very well.
