Main:
: It is claimed that Permafrost locks up more than 800 Gigtons of carbon dioxide.

:: Hillary Clinton now states that she misspoke when she claimed to have been under the threat of snipper fire when she visited Bosnia ten years ago. Her campaign has recently ken on the desperate appearance of a long death march..

::: Recall the year that New Albion moved from Mexican (Californio) to Americano control during the Polk Presidency with persistent prodding by Senator Benton of St. Louis, Missouri. The year was 1846, called the Decision Year by Bernard DeVoto in his 1943 historical narrative of the 750,000 sq. mile addition to the bicoastal continental U.S, and the runup to the Civil War to preserve that Union.

CA, and the Oceans continue to buffer their pH in the historic 7.8- 8.4 range , reliably pump and sequester carbon dioxide, bicarbonate, and carbonates into the pelagic deep. One source on the science is AP 2001, Vol 1, Encyclopedia of Ocean Science, Carbon Cycle, pp 390, By Carlson, of the University of California, Santa Barbara. Ocean science seems to be the forgotten man in the AGW game on that the serious ocean scientists are beginning to weigh in on pH stabiliity, temperature consistency, and corral health.

## The greening of the Summit Dr.spring garden near Highland Park has started with a well lighted, home made, basement seed nursery of flowers, vegetables, and herbs .

### The Ducks are the # 6 team in the Pac-10. A very good ASU team was left at home. All the best to Ernie Kent and the loyal Duck fans. Do not forget to bring your A game with a first half offense, and a second half defense.

Legacy Journal: Malaria, Mormons, the Beagle, and the Economy

Section:
Almanac

Summary:
* Malaria:

The Mormon Utah tribute to Gordon Hinkley.

* A western view of the economy, energy, and the frustration around global climate change.

Main:

: During the five years that the young gentleman amateur naturalist, Charles Darwin, was making like a modern day eco-tourist as paying passenger on the converted coastal carrier, the H.M.S. Beagle, The water and steam powered technology shift was well underway. Coal fired rail engines on land successfully competed with animal towed canal barges and carriages. Wood and canvas ailing ships would soon be replaced by Ulster steam ships with hulls of iron. Gold might enrich men, but iron would build nations. Yet, Darwin was able to fulfill his dream of visiting the tropics, collect in Patagonia and the frigid Straits of Magellan, experience an earth quake, visit active volcanos, and explore some of the Galapagos Islands.

:: One might safely assume the George Romney will pickup some delegates in the Utah Republican primary election. He is the one candidate with a clear message on energy.. He views energy sources, including fossil fuel as a clear and necessary ingredient the continuing the success of American manufacturing, agriculture, transportation, and electrical power generation.

::: Meanwhile, NOAA remains a trusted and valuable source of weather, environmental and climate information. So, the geophysical sciences continue to improve the recording and analysis of measurable changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide readings and land surface temperatures changes over the most recent 100,000 year cycle within the 500,000 million years of evolving life forms and the constantly changing environments of planet earth.

Legacy Journal: Gulf Warriors: In the Air: on the Ground

Section:
FrontPage

Summary:

* This week the President of the United States traveled to the Middle East. Israel, Bahrain and Kuwait in the Persian Gulf, and Egypt. Sadly, most Americans can not locate strategically important Gulf locations like Qatar, Oman and the Straits of Hormuz on a map. 16 million barrels of oil in giant tankers, 20% of the world supply , daily transits the straits.

On the Sunday talk shows, the foreign policy had no place. Hours of valuable TV time was spent probing the trivia and drivel of arcane processes of partisan party primary policy and personality. Not one person at the JCC early morning Monitor equipped stationary machine workout watched Attorney Journalist Tim go one on one with Attorney and environmental spokesman , John Kerry, or George opine with George on ABC, or Bob Schieffer the # 3 network a Viacom and Sumner Redstone showpiece.

* Meanwhile, the good news is that oil from Iran is now entering the market at the rate of 2.5 million barrels a day, American households spend 35 % less of their inflation adjusted income on fuel than 20 years ago, and one of the remaining nine primary candidates for president, a non attorney, has a rational, comprehensive and workable economic and energy plan for the future.

Main:
: American views of Gulf events, history, culture are largely polarized and are not well served or informed by the mass media. Meanwhile, the next generation of elites and leaders are getting valuable field training on the ground, at sea, and in the air.

:: Few voters are concerned about AGCC as a keystone issue.

::: The conventional wisdom is that Mitt Romney is willing to run a national delegate based primary strategy. The summer Republican Convention in Minneapolis could be interesting and important.
