Legacy Journal: Tuesday Lessions: Maps, Tall Tales, Western Trails

Section:
Almanac

Summary:
“Some politicians can put more words into small ideas than most other folks.” --- A. Lincoln

* Maps: The National Geographic Society, NG the Magazine, and GeoPedia have a Strong feature on Permafrost with a carbon twist.

Tall Tales, embellished recollections by office seekers are as American as Apple pie.

* Who was the first American to make the Pacific coast to Atlantic coast overland crossing on all U.S territory?

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.

Legacy Journal: Solid Tuesday Knowledge Base

Section:
Commentary

Summary:

“ Many admire, few know.” ---- Hippocrates.

Q: Each member of the U.S. House of Representative is given an allocation for paying the expenses of their offices. What is that amount? What are the restrictions on how these funds are spent?

Useful knowledge sits on a solid time_tested foundation. David Brooks of the nytimes, Robert Betts, MD of URMC, and some physical anthropologists have shed some interesting light on our past, present, and possible future.

* Brooks quotes Isaiah Berlin on politics. That is a good thing.

Betts quotes the medical literature on candida sepsis . That is an instructive thing.

* Scientists examine TB lesions fossilized bones and draw conclusions about vitamin D, sunlight, melanin and patterns of human migration out of Africa. So what does SAD have to do with it?

Main:
: According to Brooks, there may be more to this Clinton vs Obama political primary contest than appeared on the first reading. His essential points are that personal resilience, constancy of character, and a solid world view are necessary for success in office.

:: Robert Betts notes the clinical setting defines the important distinctions between yeast colonization, contamination, and dangerous disease. Most of us carry small amounts if non invasive yeast. Yeast frequently contaminates bladder catheters in women, particularly those on antibiotics. Compared to bacteria, invasive yeast disease is an infrequent cause of death. It is mostly a threat to those on chemotherapy for cancer or post organ transplant immune suppression

::: North bound human migration out of African may have been favored by those mutants with the fewest melanin pigments in the skin. The reason, they were the most efficient vitamin D producers in the low sunlight of the northern latitudes. Interesting, but what about diet as a source of Vitamin D ? What about snow reflected light? For example, cod liver has long been a dietary choice among hunters, gatherers and fishermen in the north.

Meanwhile, scattered sun is forecast this afternoon for Rochester, NY. And, the Russians are doing nuclear deals in Iran. Will the race go the Isaiah Berlin’s metaphorical Hare or to the Hedgehog? Who in congress knows or cares? Pelosi? Boxer? Hunter?

A: One million dollars per year. ??.

Legacy Journal: Friday Summary: Testing standards for steroids, HGH, and carbon dioxide.

Section:
Commentary

Summary:

“There are in fact two things, science and opinion; the former begets knowledge, the latter ignorance.”

Question?:

#1: What is the “best quess” average surface land temperature of the continental United States?

#2; What is the absolute increase over 50 years in the the carbon dioxide concentration in ppm as measured by Keeling and displayed by his Curve at Mauna Loa, Hawaii?

The UN IPCC Bali fest is over and without significant results. No Highs. No Lows. No Home Runs. Blame the U.S and the current administration, feed the press predictions of corral extinction and island flooding, release baby turtles into tide pools, and return to the snows storms of New York City if your jet can get clearance to land. But, the jet trails from Bali are a sign of more meeting over the next two years to put meat on the bones and numbers on the Road Map. Rest assured that no meeting will be held in a midwest Interstate truck stop diner.

The stats of climate sceptic Bjorn Lomborg continue to be fairly report by the press in his native country, Denmark.

Main:
Revkin of Dot Earth blog site at the nytimes stayed home in NYC while colleagues covered Bali and the San Francisco meeting of the American GeoPhysical Union. Coral reef bleaching by warm acidic tropical ocean waters is one of Revkin’s concerns. He also covers the Arctic region ---during the summer. Beware of pictures of Polar bears in full sunlight in winter time articles.

Meanwhile, the Mitchell Report has been released. The position of the Unions that represent most American Professional Athletes is now clear. They oppose using blood to test for performance enhancing drug, some of which could be used for filling criminal charges. Urine testing for metabolic products has become more sophisticated, but if you want the unfiltered truth, go for the serum. That is were the action is. For an accurate, precise and definitive result, your doctor will order a blood test. Diabete? Pregnacy? Hepatitis? Hypothyroid? Malaria? Menopause? The tests quick, inexpensive, automated, and widely available. Tests for HGH was available now; more are on their way to the marketplace.
90% certainty by be good enough for the UN IPCC. Blood test for pregnancy are > 99.9%. Welcome to the world of black or white, yes or nor, right or wrong, eat or west, up or down. Get over it.

Answer: #1:

54 degrees F. The average temperature would be lower if you included Alaska, Canada and their ice masses and the surface temperatures of their contiguous waters.

#2: 50-70 ppm. The average is less than one ppm per year. The initial 1958 reading was 320 ppm. That is an absolute interval change of 0.007% ! Remember we a talking parts per million here. Water vapor is the primary atmospheric driver in maintaining a remarkably stable average temperature of planet Earth. The earth’s orbit, tilt and the Sun’s radiant output are of course dynamic external variables.
