Yardi Matrix: Denver’s Transformation
- Dec 20, 2016
Once among the leading metros in rent growth, Denver has started to cool off as a result of the heavy development pipeline and issues with affordability. Demand remains strong: Young professionals continue to arrive and the economy is producing new jobs, as some losses in the energy sector have been counterbalanced by expansion in finance, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals.
Low-wage jobs dominated employment growth in the past year, with construction regaining its top spot as an economic driver in the metro. Government-sponsored affordable housing projects, such as Mayor Michael Hancock’s “3×5 Challenge,” have weighed heavily in the increase of construction jobs. New development of office space has reached its highest level since the 1980s, as tenants are looking for new construction with high-tech amenities to fill their needs. Denver also benefits from the growing hospitality industry, as Colorado is expected to become a national leader in developing a recreation-based economy.
Average rents in Denver rose by 2 percent year-over-year through October, a considerable deceleration compared to the 10.4 percent growth rate this time last year. However, in the long term, healthy demand, supported by a diverse economy, should drive rent growth to finish the year in the 5 percent range.

The diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) remains primarily a clinical issue, based mainly on phenotypic patterns. The identification of biomarkers capable of permitting the preclinical detection of PD is critically needed. α-Synuclein is a key protein in PD, with missense and multiplication mutations in the gene encoding α-synuclein (SNCA) having been reported in familial cases of PD, and accumulation of the protein identified in Lewy bodies (LBs) and Lewy neurites (LNs) in affected brain regions. With the objective of validating the use of α-synuclein as a clinical or progressive biomarker in an accessible tissue, we used an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to measure α-synuclein levels in the peripheral blood plasma of idiopathic PD and LRRK2 mutation carrier patients and compared our findings with healthy control subjects. Compared to healthy controls, we found a significant decrease in plasma total α-synuclein levels in idiopathic PD (iPD) patients (n = 134, p = 0.010). However, the reduction was less significant in patients who were LRRK2 mutation carriers (n = 32, p = 0.133). This lack of significance could be due to the small number of individuals employed in this group. No predictive value of total α-synuclein in the diagnosis of PD was found in a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Although this is a pilot study requiring corroboration on a larger cohort of patients, our results highlight the possible use of plasma α-synuclein as a biomarker for PD.

Can Breast Reduction Make a Difference for You?
The decision to have breast reduction is personal, and women choose the procedure for a variety of reasons. If any of the following sound familiar, we encourage you to consider breast reduction surgery:
- Your back, neck or shoulders hurt all the time, and you have trouble taking a deep breath.
- You are self-conscious about having disproportionately large breasts.
- You want to eliminate unwanted attention due to your breasts.
- Bras are extremely uncomfortable, chafing and leaving indentations on your shoulders.
- You feel limited in your clothing choices because of your large, sagging breasts.
- You have bought every sports bra on the market, but none make exercise easier.
For most of our patients, a combination of these problems led them to have this life-enhancing surgery, which can increase both physical comfort and self-confidence: their backs no longer hurt, posture improves, exercise becomes more enjoyable, and they’re happier with how they look and feel in clothing. In fact, we consistently hear from our patients after their procedure, “I only wish I did this sooner.”
Why Choose Dr. Cohen for Breast Reduction?
Whether your primary goal is to eliminate pain and discomfort, or you would like smaller breasts for other reasons, Dr. Cohen will listen to you. We believe that you know your body best, and you will be a partner in your surgery experience.
What Will I Look Like After Breast Reduction?
We look at a number of factors when determining your ideal breast size after surgery, including your body & frame size as well as your desired look with breast reduction. It is important to create a breast shape and size that looks natural and proportional to your body.
Dr. Cohen will also correct any asymmetry in the breast shape, size or nipple position to give you the most balanced, aesthetically pleasing shape possible. At your consultation, we will help you form realistic expectations about how you can hope to look after breast reduction.
Is a Breast Lift Included in Breast Reduction?
If you have very large breasts, chances are you are not so happy with their shape either. You probably have a fair amount of sagging as well. Your Baltimore breast specialist will also lift and reposition your breasts to give you a more youthful, beautiful breast contour, perhaps for the first time in your life.
Can Liposuction Be Used for Breast Reduction?
If you have excess fat around the breasts, liposuction can help to improve the overall contour of your new breasts. Keep in mind, however, that liposuction can only address fat, not glandular tissue or excess skin. While all three are removed during breast reduction surgery, liposuction is best used as a complementary procedure to enhance your results.
What is the Surgery Like?
A breast reduction takes about 2 to 3 hours, depending on the individual. This surgery is done on an outpatient basis with general anesthesia. Because safety is our first concern, we always work with board-certified anesthesiologists to ensure that your surgery is as safe as possible.
Dr. Cohen will remove excess fat, glandular tissue and skin, reshaping the new smaller breast and moving the nipple and areola into a more lifted, youthful position. While you will have some post-operative swelling, most patients notice the improved shape and lighter weight of their breasts immediately after surgery.
What is the Recovery Like?
You will be happy to learn that most of our patients are back to daily activities within the first week after surgery, including a return to work if they have a desk job.
It is common to have some bruising, swelling and tenderness initially, which will subside over the first several weeks after surgery, and you will need to rest at home for the first 2-3 days. While everyone heals differently, you can expect the following with recovery:
- Bed rest the day of surgery is recommended.
- Limit activity for the next two days following surgery.
- Avoid lifting & more strenuous activities for about one to two weeks.
- With your surgeon’s okay, you can return to work within the first week.
- Expect to wear a supportive sports bra for a couple of weeks following surgery.
- You can usually resume most aerobic exercise 2-4 weeks after surgery.
Will Insurance Cover Breast Reduction?
In some cases, breast reduction surgery may be covered by certain insurance companies. Our office will work with your insurance company to determine the scope of your benefits. Otherwise, this surgery would be considered cosmetic.
Meet Our Leader in Breast Plastic Surgery
Natural, symmetrical breast reduction results require the highest level of skill and experience in a surgeon. Our breast surgery specialist, board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Cohen, has over 20 years of experience performing breast cosmetic surgery and is recognized by his peers for his excellence in skill and patient care.

How early is enough in lactate monitoring?
Critical Care volume 10, Article number: P54 (2006)
In ARF patients treated with non-invasive ventilation (NIV) a low pH value not improving within 2 hours greatly increases the risk of NIV failure. In relation to the high diaphragm lactate production, we tested the hypothesis that the lactate clearance (LC) was more predictive of the risk of NIV failure in comparison with the difference in pH (DpH) in patients with cardiac pulmonary edema (PE) and metabolic or mixed acidosis.
Forty-seven consecutive patients observed in the Emergency Room with PE were treated with pharmacological therapy (FiO2 0.5, morphine, inotropes, diuretics, vasodilators if hypertensive) and CPAP (10 cmH2O) byhelmet if they had metabolic acidosis, or BIPAP (IPAP 14 cmH2O -EPAP 6 cmH2O) by face mask if they had mixed acidosis. The mean inspiratory airway pressure was the same in the two ventilatory treatments. Blood gas analysis were performed at admission and every 30 min for 2 hours. Clearance of lactate was calculated as: lactate start -lactate (30 min, 1 hour, 1.5 hour, 2 hour) / lactate start × 100 (%).
Significant results were obtained after 2 hours of NIV. In Table 1 the pH value at admission and after 2 hours of NIV and lactate clearance at 2 hours are reported in 35 patients responding to NIV and 12 patients who failed NIV. The higher proportions predicted to fail were with DpH < 0.01 and LC < 25% at 2 hours (OR 3.4 and 5.1, respectively). In another 15 similar patients we compared the predicted risk of failure of NIV related to DpH < 0.01 and LC < 25%, selecting an arbitrary probability of failure equal to 50% between expected and observed failures: the C statistics (area under the ROC curve) of LC < 25 and DpH < 0.01 were 0.85 and 0.73, respectively (P < 0.001).
Lactate clearance is a reliable indicator of the response of patients with PE to NIV. LC < 25% is more sensible than DpH < 0.01, perhaps because it does not take into account confounder factors related to previous metabolic acidosis. It could be considered a cost-effective method for early triaging of patients to be admitted to the ICU for invasive ventilation.

In Wisconsin, Rep. Tammy Baldwin defeated former Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson.
In the House, both Boehner and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi of California were re-elected, as were other top leaders of both parties, including House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., and the No. 2 House Democrat, Steny Hoyer of Maryland.
And while GOP Rep. Paul Ryan lost the vice presidency, he did win another term to his Wisconsin House seat.
Former GOP presidential hopeful Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota was narrowly re-elected.
A party needs 218 seats to control the House. The party mix in the new House will resemble the current one, which Republicans control by 240-190. There are two GOP and three Democratic vacancies. The GOP and Democratic pickups were pretty generally divided.
By early Wednesday, Democrats had defeated 12 GOP House incumbents — 10 of them members of the huge tea party-backed freshman class of 2010. Republican losers included four incumbents from Illinois, two each from New Hampshire and New York, and one apiece from Florida, Maryland, Minnesota and Texas.
But Republicans picked up nine previously Democratic seats. Their candidates defeated one Democratic incumbent apiece in Kentucky, New York, North Carolina and Pennsylvania; they picked up one open seat each in Arkansas, California, Indiana, North Carolina and Oklahoma currently held by Democrats who retired or ran for another office.
With almost 90 percent of the 435 House races called by The Associated Press, Republicans had won 227 seats and were leading in nine more. For a majority in the chamber, a party must control 218 seats. Democrats had won 178 seats and were leading in 19 others.
In remarks to Democrats, Pelosi said her party would be “fighting for reigniting the American dream, building ladders of opportunity for people who want to work hard and play by the rules and take responsibility.”
In a somber statement, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said Republicans “have a period of reflection and recalibration ahead.” He added that, “While some will want to blame one wing of the party over the other, the reality is candidates from all corners of our GOP lost tonight.”

Stuckey’s Bridge and yours truly will be on “Most Terrifying Places in America” on the Travel Channel on the dates and times below. Mark your calendar. Tell your friends.

I’m so excited!! I think the history of Stuckey’s Bridge is very compelling. Enough so, that I wrote a book about it. I’m glad the Travel Channel called me to do the show, as it means someone love the legend as much as I. Strangely enough, I seem to be the resident expert.
Check out my brand-spankin’-new audiobook of The Legend of Stuckey’s Bridge, narrated by the amazing J. Rodney Turner. I’m sooooo very pleased with it!!
It’s available at Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. Here’s a sample:
Here’s one of my favorite places – Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. The walled city dates back to the 16th century, so it’s loaded with historic treasures to explore.
Castillo San Felipe del Morro, built in 1539, sits guard over San Juan Bay, and on the other side, Castillo San Cristobal guards the land.
The old city with its cobblestone streets seems to have a lot of Spanish influences, but I also felt a bit of Italy in the architecture (Naples, in particular.) This was all until I got to the food. Sorullitos won my heart and made me want to stay. Sorullitos are a cheese-filled deep-fried sweet corn bread, and I could have eaten a dozen of them. They reminded me of a South American treat.
I didn’t make it to the Cathedral of San Juan, where Ponce de Leon is buried, so I’ll have to go back again someday. Cheers to Old San Juan!!
I’m sailing back and forth between NY and Nassau for the rest of the year, so I’m going to take a blogging break and be AWOL until the new year. Have a great holiday season with your family and friends, and I’ll see you in 2016! Holy cow, time moves fast. I remember being in elementary school and calculating how old I’d be in 2000. Now, I’m 16 years older than that. 🙂
In the meantime, here are some NY/Bahama photos from my last trip down there.
If you don’t know, I have two jobs. I’m an author and I’m a musician. The musician part takes place mostly on Norwegian Cruise Lines. Here’s my office…
Here’s my desk…
This month, I’ve been sailing back and forth between NY and Bermuda. This is one of my favorite runs because we get to stay in one place for three whole days. Over the years, I’ve made quite a few friends on the island. It’s a quaint place. It’s clean, the people are friendly, and the cops don’t even carry guns because there’s no crime.
There are two things I love about Bermuda. First – the beaches.
Second – the history. I always spend a day touring some old place. The first picture is St. Peter’s Church built in 1602. There’s a cemetery behind it filled with ancient headstones. The second picture is the National Museum at the Royal Navy Dockyard.
Everyone told me Italy was beautiful…well, except for Naples. They said Naples was dirty and there were lots of homeless people and pickpockets. They said enjoy every other city, but don’t expect too much from Naples. Upon my arrival at the Port of Napoli, I thought it beautiful, but perhaps close up, they were right. Let’s go see.
I crossed the street from the port into the city, which is an adventure in itself with tiny cars and motor scooters whizzing by you. Don’t stop walking or you’ll get run over. Just walk. Keep walking. Don’t hesitate. The first site we saw upon surviving crossing the street was an old castle. It was cool.
We entered a mall. Yes, this picture is the inside of the local mall. It’s what you get when you mix ancient architecture with capitalism. Upon exiting the mall, we took the funicular up to the top of a hill. We followed some signs through cobblestone streets toward a castle. We met a nice man named Giuseppe who was walking back to work following his lunch. He is a fourth generation cameo maker, so we stopped by his shop and met his brother and admired the work they do. We then walked up to the next block and came upon this sight of the city with Mt. Vesuvius in the background. Wow.
You’ve got to be kidding me. It was magnificent. How could anyone ever scoff at the beauty that is Napoli? Down in the city, every building is ornate and there are statues everywhere. It was like walking around the set of a Roman movie. Up in the hills, the people were awesome and the views were stunning.
There’s nothing better to break up a long day of sightseeing than FOOD! That was the best part. Apparently, this is the city where pizza was invented. I could live here. Calamari, bruschetta, prosciutto, oh, Napoli has stolen my heart.
Pisa is a 90,000-person town in Tuscany. It’s the capital of the Province of Pisa in central Italy. It’s been around since at least the 5th century BC, so it hosts twenty historic churches, several palaces, and some beautiful bridges, but the thing Pisa is most known for is the Leaning Tower, which is the bell tower of the cathedral. Everyone ventures to the Piazza dei Miracoli (square of miracles) to take the obligatory photos of each other holding up the tower.
If you venture to Pisa, don’t focus on the tower, focus on the tourists. They are a lot more fun!
Cannes, pronounced Can, is on the French Riviera surrounded by glamorous names like Monte Carlo, Nice, Monaco, and St. Tropez. It’s a resort town with a curved coast line filled with sandy beaches and palatial hotels. If you choose to do anything except walk along the beach, be prepared to pay the big bucks. It’s not filled with exclusive boutiques for nothing. And if you venture to Monte Carlo to gamble, wear a tux. They won’t let you anywhere near the place unless you pull up in a Rolls.
The only things one needs to know about the South of France is they dress better than anyone else on the planet and they have amazing quiche! I have more pictures of quiche, but I’m sure you get the idea. The outdoor cafe, Maison Lafayette, was pretty much my Friday quiche ritual for eight weeks straight.

text: That leaves us with the 1900 eruption. Very interesting, https://www.livescience.com/hidden-impact-crater-laos.html. To give it a European scale, this park is larger than Switzerland. It is sometimes suggested that this may have been smoke from the fumarole patch on the southwestern flank of Mount Wrangell. There are no strict limits. Two of the rim craters show a vapour column. A new submarine volcano was formed off the island of Mayotte in the Indian Ocean in 2018. There may have been a phreatomagmatic explosion but the doubt comes from the fact that he was 30 miles away. This has nothing to do with falling caldera roof though, its the opposite way round! The Wrangells are some of the most visually striking of the Alaskan mountains because of their rugged topography and perennial snow cover. The volcanoes grow very large: clearly when a magma chamber has formed, it stays in place for a long time. The Wrangell Mountains are build on an ancient volcanic history, which played an important part not only in the building of America, but in the evolution of the Earth. just saying there are a lot of excellent scientists in my religion….. they don’t have to be exclusive of each other. Mount Drum, with Snider Peak on the right. For shallow subduction the volcanoes will be at considerable distance, whilst for steeper subduction they are closer. Der 4317 m hohe Berg liegt in den Wrangell Mountains. High on the snow-covered flank, a gray-colored swath extends from a high point that we identify as the west caldera rim near Mount Wrangell Crater. The source of the Wrangell volcanics is clearly the subduction of the Pacific plate underneath Alaska. These fumaroles frequently produce steam plumes that are mistaken for eruptive activity. Or is Thoelitic Basalt result of very most partial melting possible in something thats classifyed as a basalt? Years of extreme drought and now extreme temperatures with records in every state have caused this. Especially considering that we are in the maxima of a hotspot activity and it has been 5 years since last eruption. The highest volcano of the US is here, called Mount Bona. This was shown by an oceanographic campaign in May 2019. Source: google images. The individual Wrangell volcanoes are described very well in the Guide to the Volcanoes of the Western Wrangell Mountains, Alaska-Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, by Donald Richter and collaborators, published by that most open-access publisher of all, the USGS. Deserts have also decreased in area and forest are expanding despite our worst efforts in the tropics. The volcanic activity in the Wrangell Volcanic Zone has over time also moved northwest, although at a rather slower rate of 10 km per million years or 1 cm per year. Gone again. Also not sure but someone mentioned that they were reducing the number of prescribed burns because of the fear of CO2 release. The eastern lobe covering a part of Canada came later, in an eruption several times larger than the first one. Can anyone tell me how many words that should be? Most of volcanoes of the Western Wrangell Mountains are not like the other volcanoes located around the Pacific Rim. The two pyroclastic flows together amounted to a 50km3 eruption. I did not pick this video for any specific reason. I think that Mauna Kea fluctuated between tholeeitic and alkaline for a long time before entering proper postshield so it might be like that for Mauna Loa, hard to say when will that start. Mount Wrangell has an impressive summit caldera which measures 4 by 6 km, filled with 1-km thick ice. The Wrangell Mountains are build on an ancient volcanic history, which played an important part not only in the building of America, but in the evolution of the Earth. WASW. offtopic– but there’s a new lisbon earthquake paper out, posits multiple ruptures in quick succession, but an overall smaller quake. Is it possible that the lava fields that buried the crater were in part caused by the impact? 14,006 feet (4,269 meters). Mount Wrangell is an ice-covered volcano, having last erupted in 1907. Over a more long term it is very complex though, caldera lenght over the last decades: And also the last 5 years which overlapps in 2015-2016 with the previous graph to show the full picture. Mount Churchill may have had a third, much smaller explosion 300 years ago which gave rise to a tephra deposit. No one can do science and at the same time have an agenda, pick one or do neither. There are some similarities here with the formation of volcanic mares on the Moon. yeah, well ok, its not at all simple, as would be expected. This was followed in a minute or so by another, which was recognized then as a tongue of flame issuing from the crater of the mountain. The Australian fires are an absolute disaster for the locals and they need support, not denial. Wran•gell [[t]ˈræŋ gəl[/t]] n. geg Mount, an active volcano in SE Alaska, in the Wrangell Mountains. There may have been two overlapping calderas but this is not fully clear. The study is published in the journal Nature Geoscience. And there has been more recent activity. The huge quantities of smoke produce may actually help nucleate clouds and cause global dimming if anything. Regarding religion, I see much in Gould’s idea of non-overlapping magisteria. 3. I wonder if it will repeat that 1999 eruption. There is more here than meets the eye. I remember that report. More than almost any other volcano on Earth. Wrangell Mountains. The Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) receives several reports per year from pilots and local residents who observe larger than normal steam clouds over the summit. Mauna Loa either does spectacular Icelandic style rift eruptions. Where the magma goes is less clear! A back channel item was mistakenly put on the site. It formed as a result of subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the North American Plate at the easternmost end of the Aleutian Trench. I see the battle not between science and religion but between science and industry. 1000 words can make a short snappy post, 3000 words is quite long, 6000 words is epic. Interestingly, the 1900 eruption was shortly after the September 3, 1899 Yakutat earthquake (M8). Drum. However, the one in 1784 is highly dubious, in part because the mountain wasn’t discovered until 1819. It is significantly lower than the other peaks, at a measly 3,661 meters, but this is not for want of trying. Its most recent activity was September, 2003. During the winter and on cool summer mornings, it is not unusual to see a steam plume rising out of the vents situated in craters along the margin of the summit caldera. Will be intersting to see if more is coming! This area has mud volcanoes, where mounts of soil a kilometer wide and 100 meters high have been created by warm springs. Wrangel; Wrangell … Mount Wrangell, in Ahtna K’ełt’aeni or K’ełedi when erupting, is a massive shield volcano located in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve in southeastern Alaska, United States. Very nice Churchill self reference, Albert…sort of . Further east, there is a length of 400 kilometer without volcanoes, so unexpected that it has a name: it is called the Denali volcanic gap. It is the park's only active volcano and occasionally steam plumes can be seen rising from its summit. The last and presumably final eruption was between 125,000 and 150,000 years ago. It turns out that they came not from the Wrangell Mountains but from the other half of the park, the St Elias Mountains. Thanks to the rotation of the West Coast- the Seven Davils of Idaho have a goodly chunk of Wrangellia Terraine in them. Summit caldera of Mount Wrangell, with the rim craters. It is an offspring from the Wrangell Volcanic Zone, located away from the other volcanoes. This was not directly observed but inferred: It comes from a report in the Galveston Daily News of June 10, 1902: “In June, 1900, I observed a black patch several miles in extent on the southern slope of the mountain, extending from the summit down to perhaps 11,000 feet elevation. I had to be evacuated from one that surrounded my village, saved by volunteer fire fighters. But there is no evidence of older eruptions similar to the 853 event.

http://www.bom.gov.au/state-of-the-climate/State-of-the-Climate-2018.pdf. The last major eruption of the volcano occurred in 1900, although steam is a common sight above the massive peak. Volcanic activity came later, and the shield began to build. Only the young Mount Wrangell still shows its shield-like form; the other, commonly older volcanoes have had much of their original form removed by glacial and other erosional processes, such as Rabbit Mountain and Felsite Peak, which are now eroded to form an outcrop. That is bigger than several European countries, or US states. The magma is basaltic although there are differences from normal subduction zones. After the caldera collapsed, the volcanic activity ceased. https://res.mdpi.com/d_attachment/climate/climate-06-00062/article_deploy/climate-06-00062.pdf, https://www.researchgate.net/publication/276497853_Late_Twentieth-Century_Warming_and_Variations_in_Cloud_Cover.

We are currently facing a hard time as a civilization…. With their specially developed seismological methods, the researchers are reconstructing the partial emptying of one of the deepest and largest active magma reservoirs ever discovered in the upper mantle. In this area, this plate subducts towards the northwest at a rate of 5 cm per year. The information in this post comes to a large extent from that highly recommended source. but nothing prepared me for looking UP a these massive giants… that same trip I fortunate to get Denali in a good photo-cloud free.. Best! This was a double one-off event. Science has a procedure for this: if you pose a model based on the currently available data, this model should make predictions which can be tested in the future. There are two main layers, one to the north and one to the east, and radiocarbon dating of wood buried by the ash shows that the northern layer is older, and was deposited between AD 150 and 500. The Wrangell Volcanic Field is a volcanic field stretching from eastern Alaska in the United States to the southwestern Yukon Territory in Canada. Along the caldera rim are three further smaller craters, imaginatively called: Mount Wrangell Crater, North Crater, and East Crater. Description Images Maps Bibliography Reported Activity. The models find values between 2 and 4.5 C with some outliers. A doubling of CO2 cause 3.7W/m2 of warming. Wrangell Volcanic Field lies within the Wrangell Mountains of Alaska, but the field also extends eastwards into the neighboring Saint Elias Mountains Mount Wran. It have erupted ”large eruptions” 33 times since 1840. Also concerned with the positive feedback loops currently happening in the Middle East. View is to the southeast. i remember driving up the alcan for the first time many years ago and driving around the group Mt. If it was up to me, our Prime Minister, an evangelist Pentecostal Christian fundamentalist; incapable of accepting any scientific advice that contradicts his religious views; would be charged with murder for causing death and enormous financial losses by willful negligence for failing to act on the advice his government was given by experts. New post is up! These are the main volcanoes of the Wrangell Volcanics. Some smaller peaks are not included, and it is conceivable that some further, minor eruption centres were buried under the developing shields. However, Grewink himself assigns it to the Andreanof Islands, and it is now usually assumed to refer to Great Sitkin. The Wrangell-St. Elias National Park is the largest protected wilderness in the United States. Anyone who argues for AGW should be open to facts that prove otherwise and anyone who argues against AGW should be open to facts that prove it is so. 14,006 ft. (4269 m). Anywhere else, mountains such as these would dominate the region. Of course we are still testing predictions: that never stops. In the alkali vs silica diagram basalt is at the bottom, so there is no classification for something with lower alkalis, even if it had no at all it would still be called tholeeitic basalt…. The current long dormancy has some obvious reasons, first that the 1984 eruption reduced pressure significantly visible as a decrease in caldera distance, while the 1975 eruption had a comparatively small effect. With a diameter of 30 km at 2000 m elevation, 900 cu km Mount Wrangell is one of the world's largest continental-margin volcanoes. Very interesting if you can get your hands on it. If you study paleoclimatology then you realise cold is the enemy. The subducted plate begins to melt when it reaches a depth of 100-120 km, called the Wadati-Benioff Zone. To be “weathered-in” at the South eastern Alaska coastal town of Wrangell is an experience with frontier mentality, for fishing and drinking are the principal pursuits of the pop ulace. Source: Preece et al. The dark ages correspond to cold periods, the golden years are warm periods. I cannot get enough of these kinds of posts; never heard of before yet such interesting, much wow. No matter how long we drove we seemed to be standing still and as the hours went by it was rather disconcerting. Very productive volcano. Its height is impressive too. Yesterday’s radar image of Anak Krakatau. As for the current Australian fires, the indigenous owners used to burn twice this area every year, thats the only way that you can prevent fire here, reduce the fuel load. These are not (strongly) explosive, but form because magma is withdrawn from the magma chamber. From the article: "Mount Blackburn is erupting again. The benefits of CO2 fertilisation and warmth. Mount Wrangell itself, over 4317 meters tall, remains an active volcano. Quiet as the grave since you wrote that.. Likely will be an eruption soon SAMPLES. The longest Mauna Loa slow tube eruptions lasted 1100 years in holocene I think. The bulk of the Wrangell Volcanic Field lies within the Wrangell Mountains of Alaska, but the field also extends eastwards into the neighboring Saint Elias Mountains and the Yukon Territory. They just got the power back on and boom. The summit today is used for research by the U.S. Army, whose buildings are heated by volcanic steam. What is occurring? Both Jarvis and Tanada became inactive 1 million years ago. If the volcano erupted, it would melt the ice. I have seen the the Canadian Rockies, Denali , and the Rocky mountains. Wrangell was founded by Russians as one of the oldest non-Native settlements in Alaska. There were prediction around 2010 that the southern Amazon rainforest would see increase in fires, and that has been confirmed. The mountain started to build up by 600,000 years ago. As a group they proved vulnerable to deception by people they thought were on their side. These were two serious eruptions; the second eruption was large enough to cause the local population to migrate south and temporarily vacate the region. Add your article. Maybe Betelgeuse, one of the sky brightest stars (but now strangely dimming) will explode as a supernova before any Icelandic eruption happens. Mount Wrangell's broad, gentle form is an excellent example of a shield volcano, in fact, it is the largest andesite shield volcano in North America. Mount Wrangell is the only Wrangell volcano considered active. However, things are a bit more complex. The massive andesitic shield volcano has produced fluid lava flows as long as 58 km and contains an ice-filled 4-6 km diameter caldera located within a 15-km-wide ancestral caldera. Here, they live in the shadow of other, better known mountains. Dotted areas indicate glaciers. Source: USGS. The calderas collapse to over a kilometer in depth, but much of this is filed in with basaltic flows which probably come from the ring fault. n Mount Wrangell a mountain in S Alaska, in the W Wrangell Mountains. True. HISTORIC EVENT DATES (22 events) Key: Eruption Questionable eruption Non-eruptive activity. Blaming the fire fighters for not doing preventative burnings is libellous. Have the holocene magmas been ”less” Thoelitic than the main building phase during Late Pleistocene? It lost almost 90% of its ice between 1965 and 1984, at a time when the other craters showed no change in ice cover. Mount Wrangell, in Ahtna K’ełt’aeni or K’ełedi when erupting,  is a massive shield volcano located in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve in southeastern Alaska, United States.The shield rises over 12,000 feet (3,700 m) above the Copper River to its southwest. It began to grow 5 million years ago with a granite intrusion. The 1884/5 eruption is also considered unconfirmed. After Skookum became extinct, activity shifted southwest, to Tanada and Jarvis. The following headline account of an eruption from Mount Wrangell appeared in the April 15, 1911, edition of the Chitina Leader: 'Last night about 9:20 p.m. a flash which was at first mistaken for lightning, was observed at the summit of Mount Wrangell. See more ideas about Wrangell, National parks, Alaska. Downgraded to 5.9 after review. In spite of frequent puffs of steam, geologists tell us that Wrangell is showing no signs of erupting any time soon. Apart from the human costs to life and property, over half a billion animals are believed to have been killed already and several species are likely to become extinct. The eruptions seem to come in bursts, voluminous when they happen, quiet at other times. A cone next to Wrangell, called Mount Zanetti, may be only 25,000 years old. Mount Churchill seems an exception, as it has produced at least two rhyolitic explosive eruption during the holocene. This followed the 1964 Good Friday Alaskan super-quake (M9). Rather than erupting explosive lavas forming stratovolcanoes, they have been built by the buildup of hundreds of comparatively fluid lava flows to form shield volcanoes. The anti-climate stance came originally from industry, not from them. The end of the video footage shows two distinct dark areas on the rim that is normally snow-covered. The precise depth depends on the temperature and how wet the subducted rock is. It was a typical Wrangell winter, as is evident from his journal: ‘Clear but very cold the floor of my cabin is frose two foot from the fire and I thought I had made it almost air tight so you see I am in no danger of melting with the heat.’ (www.avo.alaska.edu). Wrangell reported activity. They started trading for furs with area Tlingit in 1811 at the site of present-day Wrangell. If you need imaginary cycles to deny the blindingly obvious, you have a problem. The bulk of the mountain was destroyed in an explosion that happened between 200,000 and 100,000 years ago. These poor folks can’t catch a break. Mount, an active volcano in SE Alaska, in the Wrangell Mountains. See more ideas about wrangell, alaska, national parks. Couldn’t that be shortsighted in some form or another from the climate extremists? (It is USGS Bulletin 2072, https://pubs.usgs.gov/bul/2072/report.pdf.) You will find papers from this time about, for instance, the date in the year that a certain bird would lay eggs, and whether this was getting earlier in the year: if so, this would indicate a significant environmental change. It is also important that Mauna Loa currently has a very low supply, recent inflation is far slower than inflation before the 1975 eruption. every little twig is covered in frost and i’m hibernating till it warms a little. That is the current level of discussion: it is about model differences at the 10% level. At that distance, the ‘hundreds of feet’ corresponds to 0.1 degree, a fifth of the diameter of the full Moon: it is hard to see how he could have seen such detail as the ‘immense stones’. The field is named for Mount Wrangell, a massive shield volcano which has been active historically. The Wrangell Mountains are immediately east of this gap, and are a bit in-land, as a clearly separate mountain range. That’s just, perhaps, maybe a little too authoritarian! Nov 17, 2017 - Explore JKO Variety Shop's board "Wrangell St. Elias NP - 1980", followed by 7307 people on Pinterest. https://www.volcanocafe.org/building-the-wrangell-mountains/. https://phys.org/news/2020-01-formation-huge-underwater-volcano-offshore.html, Formation of a huge underwater volcano offshore the Comoros. When will Mauna Loa start go go alkaline? Wrangell . He reports seeing smoke from the mountain in December 1884 and on February 3 a very large column of smoke and ‘hurling imense stones hundreds of feet high in the air’ as well as a rumbling noise. Wrangell — Original name in latin Wrangell Name in other language WRG State code US Continent/City America/Sitka longitude 56.47083 latitude 132.37667 altitude 26 Population 2369 Date 2011 05 14 … Mount Wrangell is the only active volcano in the park, as all the other volcanoes have officially been declared dormant. I oppose all science deniers equally. No worries. For example, Fourpeaked Mountain was not considered an historically active volcano until 2006, when steam explosions (also called phreatic explosions), sulfur compounds, and particulate emissions heralded the onset of fumarolic activity near the glacier-clad summit (Figure 12; Neal et al. Tephra found in Greenland’s ice has given us a precise date: this eruption happened in the winter of AD 853 (a date 50 years earlier is also in the literature but is now out of date). The White Ash eruptions came from its lower, secondary peak, Mount Churchill. 3.0 shake in Katla. Mount Wrangell is the only volcano in the Wrangell Mountains that is currently active. Another explosion at Shishaldin is reported by AVO. I take it you don’t live in Australia Rob; and if you do you are nowhere near a fire? It too is volcanic, and probably formed between 600,000 and 200,000 years ago. Religion might be closed to hypothesis but science never should be, even if someone argues AGW is false, just review the claims without bias, and offer an official explanation, that’s science. We will happily consider anything. It too is a large shield volcano, build up by andesitic eruptions. Tanada is around 1.5 million years old, and like the other volcanoes here it experienced caldera collapse and died. It is that hot and dry in Australia this season that the bush fires started in August – late Winter; and have burned through areas that have only recently been burned to reduce fuel. Received a strange email allegedly from Albert entitled “the last post” when you click on the link to get to the posting the link doesn’t work. The stratovolcanoof Mount Churchillhas had the largest recent eruptions, with two large-magnitude explosive eruptions in the last 2,000 years that blanketed most of the Yukon with volcanic ash(the White River Ash). The observations show negative feedback with water vapour decreasing, consistent with Le Chatelier’s principle, (the thermodynamic equilibrium law), The actual driver of climate is changes to cloud cover which is an order of magnitude larger than CO2 forcing. This is the first part of the Wrangell post. At the surface, a volcano begins to grow. Betelgeuse has some really strange convection going on. But my god. The Mauna Loa deformation is remarkably uniform. Here is a link to the official Australian Bureau of Meteorology/CSIRO 2018 State of the Climate Report. Other people only reported the smoke. This would cause dangerous flooding and mudslides. So the good news is we are unlikely to enter the next glacial cycle for a couple thousand years unless a big volcano gives us a push. Webcams. The closest Wrangell volcanoes to it have been extinct for several million years. Sep 15, 2016 - Explore Tom Snyder's board "Wrangell - St. Elias NP" on Pinterest. Its current volume is about 900 km3. The volcanoes all grow as a shield, and develop a caldera at the end of their evolution. As it was covered with snow when the mountain was next seen, about the last of September, it seems probable that the bare area was due to material thrown out by the volcano.” Another report from 1899 mentions an eruptive plume and a lava stream, although there is no confirmation of any lava. At that time, indeed, there were scientists arguing on both sides. It’s even got a name. ), The amount of global fires has been decreasing due to the increased wetness of the warmer world due to evaporation from oceans. Mount Wrangell, a 4,317-m (14,163 ft)-high andesite shield volcano is visible to the left on the skyline; it is the only volcano in the Wrangell Mountains to have had documented historical activity. Locally, however, strata of the same age have been affected by a late pulse of tectonism, during which they were faulted, contorted into tight symmetrical folds, or overridden by pre-Cenozoic baserocks along southwesterly dipping thrust faults. Even as recent as 15 years ago, they were by and large in favour of caring for the environment, not destroying it. Part 2 of the Wrangell saga. Higher elevations of the field above 5,000 ft (1,500 m) are almost entirely covered in glaciers and icefields, especially on the windward southern side of the ranges. The next eruption coud be rather large in lava volume as it have sleept for a while… But underneath runs a deeper history, and lies an older volcanic field. They are among the tallest volcanoes in the world not by their own effort, but because they grew on the shoulders of giants. Imagine all the living things in an area this size you may be familiar with. It was like we were driving on a huge belt of moving road travelling in the opposite direction at the same speed, cancelling all our progress. On some pre-1900 maps Wrangell was labeled as Mount Tillman. Mud pit and a mildly interested tourist. 2014. By eye, and from what’s shown, I would be tempted to suggest a quadratic would be a marginally better fit. (1 deg C) This was amplified by an additional 10w/m2 of positive feedback in the computer models in the form of increasing water vapour in the upper troposphere. The most recent results I have seen have pushed the median up from 3.0C to 3.3C based on data that shows that low clouds contribute to warming. Capital Mountain became briefly active 1 million years ago but activity here ceased within 100,000 years. Come back next week to read about reluctant subduction, building America, and the flood that brought the rain. It was named after the US senator Joseph Blackburn, well-known in his time but now remembered only because of the mountain. Mount Blackburn is rather older than the senator, though. Try living with the deadly consequences of intransigent science denial and the imposition of religious freedom legislation to discriminate where they like when it comes to supplying goods and services like medical attention; then tell me I’m being a tad too authoritarian. Andesite lava was ejected from the circular caldera fault at this time. No need for rewilding here – it is wild enough to begin with! A standard spectacular explosion. Situation has reversed and I think that throughout our lifetimes it is going to remain like that, it might still erupt a few times this century though. North Crater appears to be the source of the occasional explosions. Obviously, these volcanoes are not near the subduction trench, but some distance down stream – how far depends on the angle of subduction. The volcanic zone may be in the process of dying. The oldest volcano in the Wrangell mountains is also its highest peak, Mount Blackburn; at 4,996 m it is just shy of the 5 km mark. The location of Wrangell–St. The possibility exists that these quakes opened up pathways for underground hot water. The location of Wrangell–St. There is a river of about this name near Wrangell, and therefore this eruption was subsequently identified as Mount Wrangell. However, apart from this one angry spray, I shall refrain from further flaming on this location. But those steam vents … Chitina residents report that the eruption is spectacular, not to mention huge columns of black smoke." That is exactly what happened. DustDevil East of its current summit is a caldera 4 by 3 km across: this is likely the source of the ash, and probably the location of its summit before these events. And now a star in Iceland. The greatly increased fire risk in South Australia was predicted, and has come to pass. REPORTED ACTIVITY. He likes to take things apart and explain them.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZjnbl1apeY. Hey, its Alaska. Currently Kilauea is dominant over the hotspot with a supply many times higher, while the summit of Mauna Loa totals about 45 cm of extension since end of the 1984 eruption the summit of Kilauea has since the stop of the 2018 eruption inflated even more, about 50 cm of caldera lenght increase while at the same time inflating its east rift zone. At the point where the melt initiates, the newly formed magma begins to percolate upwards. 1995, USGS Bulletin 2072 https://pubs.usgs.gov/bul/2072/report.pdf. It began with a granite intrusion 5 million years ago, which developed into volcanic eruptions a million years later. Or how many Word-pages? http://www.bom.gov.au/state-of-the-climate/State-of-the-Climate-2018.pdf. (Obvious AvE reference). I see them as victims, who were hijacked. The shield rises over 12,000 feet (3,700 m) above the Copper River to its southwest. Wrangell has several active fumarolic areas in its summit caldera. The east-west length of the field is over 200 mile (320 km), while the width reaches up to 80 miles (130 km) in the central Wrangell Mountains. Very rough on the edges, but fun. Churchill remains a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. The Pacific plate subducts along the entire Aleutian arc, but volcanic activity is not the same everywhere. CO2 is a non issue if you understand chemistry. It was built by a series of large lava flows from 600,000 to 200,000 years ago. 2. Its volume is over 220 cubic The eruption is mentioned in a book on the geology of Alaska by the Estonian mineralogist Constantin Grewink, and is a second-hand mention of an eruption from ‘Chetchina’. In the 2000’s, the predictions of the global warming models were confirmed, and that settled the arguments. In 1834, Baron Ferdinand Petrovich Wrangel, then head of Russian government interests in Russian America, ordered a stockade built near the Naanyaa.aayí clan house of Chief Shakes, called Shéiksh Hídi. LOCALS and natives often think climbing is pointless and perverse. 4,317 m) is the youngest and only active volcano in the Oligocene to Holocene-aged Wrangell volcanic field that extends from beyond the Alaska-Yukon border northwest through the Wrangell Mountains to the Copper River Basin. Well told. Webicorders. Interesting. Does not serve us as a species. Yet despite this additional forcing not accounted for by climate models, the observed warming is only half that predicted from CO2 alone. This is normally stated as the warming arising from a doubling of the CO2. However, it appears that such activity is not that unusual, and more dark patches stemming from phreatic explosions have been reported since. Mount Bona, in the adjacent St Elias mountain, is the tallest US volcano, beating such giants as Mauna Loa. On a side note, I’ve got an idea for an article. The physics of global warming is most definite on the science side! Elias National Park and Preserve within Alaska . The Wrangell Mountains take up about a fifth of the park. The volcano is a very large (900 km3) broad shield containing an ice-filled, nonexplosive, collapse caldera measuring 3.2 by 5.6 kilometers. There is westward drift of the activity over time, and perhaps a new volcano will develop where the mud volcanoes are located. The 1900 event has stronger credentials than the others, being reported by three different people, but is not confirmed. This is clearly a volcano with a serious temper. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/datablog/ng-interactive/2019/dec/07/how-big-are-the-fires-burning-on-the-east-coast-of-australia-interactive-map. Impressive indeed Or more long lived Puu Oo like tube feed flows. When the eruption comes if it is at the summit it will be small (like 1975), if at the rifts probably similar to 1984. Nice to know that other folks appreciate AvE! I have yet to see any science program that includes Betelgeuse that does not also mention it’s utter weirdness. For global warming, this discussion took place in the 1990’s. Right now I find out from the news that it has erupted (I didn’t know when I wrote the previous comment). Wrangell: translation. 1984 would be expected to have a longer recovery. As much as 100 km3 may have been removed in the explosion. Thank you. 2014, Geosphere, 10, 1020-1042. Probaly will be the same fast short lived voluminous style as 1984 and 1950 s with large fountains and fast moving open channels. They have the appearance of small shields. Very interessting!

It rises due south of another famous Wrangell volcano, Mount Sanford. The stratovolcano of Mount Churchill has had the largest recent eruptions, with two large-magnitude explosive eruptions in the last 2,000 years that blanketed most of the Yukon with volcanic ash (the White River Ash). But people who deny the data will not be convinced until their own lives become badly affected, by which time it may be too late. The harsh winters make the land difficult to live in, and in consequence much of the wilderness seems hardly touched by human hand.

Indeed Mauna Loa is loosing the Hotspot to Kilauea and Loihi. The Wrangell mountains are a volcanic region, build up relatively recently by eruptions. The field is named for Mount Wrangell, a massive shield volcanowhich has been active historically. It is akin to detecting a new type of signal from the Earth’s interior that indicates a dramatic movement of molten rocks before the eruption.

Leading garment manufacturer Gildan has strengthened its commitment to sustainability in its supply chain by joining the US Cotton Trust Protocol.
Joining the programme, which sets standards at farm level, will help Gildan to ensure that the cotton that it buys from the US is sustainably grown with low environmental and social risks.
With brands including American Apparel, Gildan, Alstyle and Comfort Colors, most of the fibre used in the Montreal-based company’s products are made from cotton.
The US Cotton Trust Protocol is a farm-level, science-based programme that sets a new standard for more sustainably grown cotton. It brings quantifiable and verifiable goals and measurements to sustainable cotton production as well as driving continuous improvement in six key sustainability metrics: land use, soil carbon, water management, soil loss, greenhouse gas emissions and energy efficiency.
Members are also provided with full supply chain transparency through the Protocol Credit Management System. Other members range from retailers such as Tesco and Next to manufacturers around the world.
Gildan’s president and CEO, Glenn Chamandy, said: “At Gildan, we have a vision of ‘Making Apparel Better’ and we have long been committed to ensuring that our supply chain is ethical and sustainable from fibre to shirt.
“Joining the US Cotton Trust Protocol is a natural next step in our sustainability and transparency journey as it will increase transparency into our supply chain while also providing us with additional assurance that the cotton we purchase from the US is sustainably grown with low environmental and social risks.”
The US Cotton Trust Protocol is aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and recognised by Textile Exchange and Forum for the Future. It is also part of the Sustainable Apparel Coalition, Cotton 2025 Sustainable Cotton Challenge, Cotton 2040, and Cotton Up initiatives.
Dr Gary Adams, president of the US Cotton Trust Protocol, said: “Gildan has a proven track record of a strong commitment to sustainable practices and we are pleased to welcome them as new members. Their company was founded on the principle of producing sustainable and ethical apparel, to which cotton is a key component.
“As members of the US Cotton Trust Protocol, we will help them further this principle by providing them third-party verified assurances that they are sourcing responsibly produced, quality fibre and reducing environmental and social risk in their field-to-mill supply chain.”

America’s War on Poverty had its golden anniversary last week. Unlike a marriage that lasts a generation’s time, the celebration for Lyndon Johnson’s other crusade was not exactly joyful. Intellectuals and academics still fret over first worlders stricken by destitution. They decry the parsimonious structure of the American welfare state – even as a record number of citizens are in some way tied to the dole. Plenty of solutions are offered to fix the problem of ongoing poverty, but each turns out to be nothing more than state redistribution.
In his latest apostolic exhortation, Pope Francis implored believers to take a stronger initiative in helping out the less well-off among us. American conservatives appear to have heeded the call, and are beginning to focus attention on an anti-poverty agenda. The hope is to rile up the electorate and shed the conception of hating the poor. Whether these measures will succeed is another question. It’s easy to say “Hey! How about we get everyone out of the poor house!” Putting in place the necessary framework to foster rising living standards takes gumption and knowledge.
To mark the anniversary of Johnson’s welfare behemoth, Florida Senator Marco Rubio offered an alternative to Washington’s current approach to erase poverty. While decrying the government’s rob-and-reshuffle schemes, Rubio proposed to “replace the earned income tax credit with a federal wage enhancement for qualifying low-wage jobs.” Additionally, the political upstart paid lip service to block granting federal dollars to the states – an idea Ronald Reagan floated nearly four decades ago.
If boosting the paycheck of low-income earners is the silver bullet to impoverishment, then it’s a wonder why a litany of welfare benefits haven’t made poverty a foregone memory by now. Aren’t food stamps, subsidized housing, free schooling, and free-of-charge health care all income supplements? It’s hard to see why a targeted “wage enhancement” would slay destitution once and for all. And aren’t conservatives supposed to be realistic and recognize the dependency culture welfare creates? How replacing a tax credit with a cash handout won’t be abused and create more wards of the state, Rubio doesn’t explain.
Even prima facie, the Rubio proposal makes no sense if the goal is wealth creation. Instead of taking the liberal route and robbing Peter to pay Paul, the Florida Senator wants to rob Peter to pay Peter back. Uncle Sam doesn’t get the income to subsidize wages from good will alone. He has to steal first and give back later. The workers who would benefit from the paycheck boost are already paying income taxes as well as payroll taxes. It’s not as if the taxman is leaving them be.
The Rubio proposal shows the intellectual weakness of those looking for government as the solution to poverty. Politicians can’t increase living standards. All the state can do is expropriate resources. Any time a policy is proposed that involves government machinations, the only group who really benefits is the political class.
The hard reality is solving the predicament of poverty cannot be done overnight. If handing out money was all that’s needed to help the poor, the billions spent by Washington would have been widely successful by now. But destitution sticks around, even if the low-class possesses luxuries such as cars, microwaves, personal computers, “smart” cell phones, and air conditioners.
So what then is the real solution?
An economic framework that allows for the market to flourish is an obvious answer. The only way to create wealth is to allow individuals to do it on their own terms. Any kind of government diktats that interfere with voluntary transactions must, by definition, hamper value creation. If given enough freedom, the marketplace does an adequate job of coordinating resources where they are most desired. But even that may not be enough to establish a prosperous society.
In The Atlantic, Derek Thompson recently uncovered a key variable that translates into economic success: marriage. If it seems intuitive that two-parent households are better generators of wealth, that’s because it is. Couples are much more flexible at earning income while meeting the needs of the homestead. Therefore, these families tend to be richer over time. As Thompson points out,
“[A]mong what you might consider “modern families” (e.g. the 61 million people married and living together, both working), there is practically no poverty. None.”
Those families that qualify as impoverished are largely lead by a single parent, namely a mother. Nearly half of all one-parent households lack a full-time worker. Is it any wonder they are struggling to make ends-meet? The only way to create wealth security is to produce more than what’s consumed. That means abstaining from immediate frills. And it means putting in long hours when it’s most uncomfortable.
Pity be with the man who thinks the state can be used to form a culture of thrift. Everything government touches inevitably turns to stone. That is, it sinks even when public servants try to raise it up. As Rod Dreher writes,
“what are the government policies that are going to compel people to put off childbearing till marriage, to seek to get married, and to work hard to stay married? They don’t exist. These are cultural matters beyond the ability of the government to influence strongly.”
The only way to lay the groundwork for economic growth is to establish conditions suitable for capital investment. Said investment cannot occur without prior savings. For anyone pursuing the noble cause of taking care of the poor among us, the solution is not handouts. That’s only a Band-Aid. It fails to set the course for long-term enrichment. Ultimately, it is only private individuals that can serve as a good influence.
While American policy wonks debate over how to best win the War on Poverty, the rest of the world suffers under the same restrictions. Statism is rampant in practically every country. Its partner in crime, moral relativism, is also on the upswing. Governments are gobbling up increasing amounts of resources while central banks are deliberately punishing savers. The only way to beat back the rising threat of bankruptcy and pauperism is to begin rolling back the state. As R. R. Reno writes, “in much of the world, freer markets would improve the lives of most, decrease dependence, and encourage self-governance.” But even uninhibited markets are not enough when a people’s restraint has been worked over by welfare policies. It takes time to re-establish norms that temper short-sighted habits. Unfortunately, time may soon be up for Western nations that have consumed far beyond their means for too long.

Kadamay declares “initial victory” for #OccupyBulacan.
By ANNE MARXZE D. UMIL
MANILA — Occupants of the idle government housing units in Bulacan will not be evicted starting on Tuesday, March 28, in spite of the eviction notices which the National Housing Authority (NHA) served last week. Instead, the NHA will begin the process to determine if the occupants are eligible to be awarded the housing units they have occupied.
In a dialogue on Monday, March 27, the NHA and leaders of Kalipunan ng Damayang Mahihirap (Kadamay) have also agreed to work on probable solutions to address the problems on housing, Anakpawis Rep. Ariel Casilao said. Leaders of Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) and lawmakers from the Makabayan bloc including Casilao, were also at the dialogue.
“This initial victory has come from the bravery and strength of urban poor Filipinos who have been holding their ground for nearly a month,” said Gloria Arellano, Kadamay national chairperson.
Arellano said it was the only dialogue that concretely discussed how to address the occupation of idle government housing units. But the group still stands on their call for free mass housing for the poor, instead of the socialized housing model under the Urban Development and Housing Act (UDHA).
The NHA and Kadamay agreed on the following:
1) Joint profiling of all occupants will be conducted to determine their eligibility to the housing program. Trinidad said profiling will start on April 3.
2) The 171 occupants who have signed the housing information form will be processed starting March 28.
3) NHA General Manager Marcelino Escalada gave his commitment to withdraw police and soldiers from the occupied sites to prevent harassment.
Casilao clarified that it was also agreed upon that there will be no applicants and uniformed men who stand to lose a housing unit once the occupants’ papers were processed. The Armed Forces of the Philippines Housing Board was given until May 30 to come up with a list of personnel who are paying and still desire to occupy the said units. Occupants whose houses proved to have been already awarded will be given an entry pass to another unit or housing project, and will then be processed as beneficiary.
NHA spokesperson Elsie Trinidad said some officers prefer a bigger space than the ones that were built in Bulacan.
“Collective action amidst the worsening crisis of poverty and housing is more than ever justified. The poor are powerful and our demands will not be denied. Eviction is one thing, we will continue to push for free and mass housing for all urban poor Filipinos as a matter of right,” Arellano said.

Constexpr Library Additions: containers
ISO/IEC JTC1 SC22 WG21 N3304 = 11-0074 - 2011-08-17
Benjamin Kosnik, firstname.lastname@example.org
Daniel Krugler, email@example.com
This paper details use of the ISO C++0x constexpr feature, as initially introduced in “Generalized Constant Expressions — Revision 5” (N2235) and incorporating all other subsequent changes as per ISO C++ draft N3291. Several CWG issues have also influenced the language with respect to constexpr: see issues 1099, 1125, 1194, 1195, 1197, 1198, 1199 and c++-std-core postings number 17890 and 17912. Additional implementation experience, and subsequent changes to the core language have motivated the following changes and additions to the library specification.
A list of additional places in 23.3.2 Class template array that can exploit the constexpr language feature is below. For the changes listed, the new text is put in place in bold and green with the older text it is replacing struckthrough in red.
a) Modify 184.108.40.206 [array.overview] as follows:

There are already as many as six million people actively composing haiku in Japan, and this form of poetry is becoming more popular in America. This is just the right book for those who want to take up this art. The author, who was recently an editor for "Tricycle: The Buddhist Review," has written and taught haiku for 20 years.
This 17-syllable poem, according to Strand, makes nature a spiritual path. It places images before ideas and emphasizes the uniqueness of each moment. Strand talks about keeping a haiku diary, taking walks to find images, and forming a group to share haiku. This lyrical book, filled with poems by Strand and many of his students, will enable you to appreciate the connection between haiku and the spiritual practices of attention, being present, openness, faith, and silence.

BY LENORE SKENAZY | As Brooklyn mom Tamara R. Mose was preparing for a playdate with a mom and child she didn’t know well yet, she paused to look at her home: “All the bathrooms are clean, dishes put away, beds made, floors Swiffered, laundry folded, garbage cans emptied, and toys put in their place and sorted for age appropriateness.”
And then there was the food: “The kitchen is full of aromas, boiling pasta, simmering sauce, freshly sliced carrots, celery and oranges, all displayed on sparkling white plates. Lined up are juice boxes boasting their 100 percent organic label, plastic forks and plates, and beside them some half-folded disposable white napkins.”
Add to this some whole wheat crackers, cheeses (three varieties) and the fact her daughter had straightened up her room, too, and Mose, a sociology professor at Brooklyn College, couldn’t help but notice: This was not just about fun. This was a performance — “an effort to present ourselves as a decent black family.”
From there it was just a hop, skip and a jump — and a year of interviewing a broad swath of New York parents — to writing “The Playdate: Parents, Children, and the New Expectations of Play,” which will be published by NYU Press this spring.
A play date, Mose argues, is really sort of a double date — “You’re essentially dating the other parent. You’re checking them out. What do they do for a living?”
Parents arrange playdates ostensibly for their children’s fun and enrichment, but really, there’s a lot more going on. Yes, they want their kids to make friends and play, but the parents want to make friends, too. And usually, Mose observed, they want to make friends with other parents demographically the same as them — friends who might even be able to help them in the job world.
At one playdate Mose arranged at her son’s request, she and her then-husband invited over two couples. One was a lawyer married to an artist, the other was a screenwriter married to the curator of a book lecture series. By the end of the playdate, Mose and the curator realized that they knew someone in common and he invited Mose to give a lecture at his series.
“It was at this moment that I started to realize how many times the parents I had invited to a playdate either knew someone I knew,” says Mose, or they offered some kind of connecting: Come to this show with us, let me introduce you to so-and-so.
The upside is obvious: friendship, networking, even babysitting backup. But Mose’s book looks at the downsides, too, starting with the way playdate culture perpetuates class stratifications. The parents who believe in organic hummus and no TV are unlikely to have many playdates with the parents who put out soda and chips with SpongeBob on in the background — even if the kids really like each other at school.
What’s more, simply by perpetuating the playdate imperative — that is, the idea that of course children need constant supervision either by parents or caregivers — the thought of kids running around on their own seems preposterous. When she was growing up, Mose recalls, she’d go down the street knocking on friends’ doors, asking them to come out to play.
“Almost all the parents that I interviewed did the same thing,” she says. Play was kid-driven and often out in public.
Now that kind of fun is considered too dangerous (even though crime is back to the level of 1963). The modern playdate is organized, supervised and private.
“So if Joe and John get in a fight and they’re in the room next door, they can come out and complain to me to make it better,” says Mose. “Whereas if they’re out on the street playing they need to figure it out.” Playdate-raised kids lose out on certain childhood lessons their parents got just as a matter of course: How to deal with a quarrel, or even a bully. Is this one reason we have so many anti-bullying assemblies today? Kids just don’t get any real-world practice in standing up for themselves, or shrugging off an insult?
What’s more, Mose says: Kids who are indoors, surrounded by amusements, may not learn how to make a sword out of stick, or a boat out of a square of pavement. They do, however, learn how to speak to adults. And in the end, she says, that confidence and poise may serve them well in the business world.
In fact, playdates may help both generations in the business world. They just might not help children actually learn how to play.
