Hubble Confirms Existence of Massive Black Hole at Heart of Active Galaxy
Astronomers using the Hubble telescope have found seemingly conclusive evidence for a massive black hole in the center of the giant elliptical galaxy M87, located 50 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Virgo. Earlier observations suggested that the black hole was present, but they were not decisive.
This observation provides very strong support for the existence of gravitationally collapsed objects, which were predicted 80 years ago by Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity. This image shows a spiral-shaped disk of hot gas in the core of M87. Hubble measurements indicate that the disk's rapid rotation is strong evidence that it contains a massive black hole. A black hole is so massive and compact that nothing can escape its gravitational pull, not even light.
Spiral Gas Disk in Active Galaxy M87
Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have found seemingly conclusive evidence for a massive black hole in the center of the giant elliptical galaxy M87, located 50 million light years away in the constellation Virgo. Earlier observations suggested the black hole was present, but were not decisive.
This observation provides very strong support for the existence of gravitationally collapsed objects, which were predicted 80 years ago by Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.
"If it isn't a black hole, then I don't know what it is," says Dr. Holland Ford of the Space Telescope Science Institute and The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.
"A massive black hole is actually the conservative explanation for what we see in M87. If it's not a black hole, it must be something even harder to understand with our present theories of astrophysics," adds fellow investigator Dr. Richard Harms of the Applied Research Corp. in Landover, Maryland.
The discovery is based on velocity measurements of a whirlpool of hot gas that is orbiting around the black hole in the form of a disk. The presence of the disk, discovered in recent Hubble images, allows for an unprecedented, precise measurement of the mass of the object at the hub of the disk.
A black hole is an object that is so massive yet compact nothing can escape its gravitational pull, not even light. The object at the center of M87 fits that description. It weights as much as three billion suns, but is concentrated into a space no larger than our solar system.
Now that astronomers have seen the signature of the tremendous gravitational field at the center of M87, it is clear that the region contains only a fraction of the number of stars that would be necessary to create such a powerful attraction. There must be something else there that cannot be seen.
Ford and Harms were astounded by the M87 images taken with the telescope's Wide Field Planetary Camera-2 (in PC mode) on Feb. 27. They hadn't anticipated seeing such clear evidence of a gaseous disk in the center of M87.
"It's just totally unexpected to see the spiral-like structure in the center of an elliptical galaxy," Ford says.
Ford and Harms used HST's Faint Object Spectrograph to measure the speeds of orbiting gas on either side of the disk from regions located about 60 light-years from the black hole at the center.
They calculated that the disk of hot (about 10,000 Kelvin), ionized gas is rotating at tremendous speeds around a central object that is extremely massive but extraordinarily compact - a black hole.
"Once you get that measurement, all you need is straightforward Newtonian physics to calculate the mass of the central object that's making the disk spin," says Harms.
The measurement was made by studying how the light from the disk is blueshifted and redshifted - as one side of the disk spins toward us and the other side spins away from us. The gas on one side of the disk is speeding away from Earth, at a speed of about 1.2 million miles per hour (550 kilometers per second). The gas on the other side of the disk is whipping around at the same speed, but in the opposite direction, as it approaches viewers on Earth.
"Now, it all knits together," Ford said. "We see a disk-like structure that appears to have spiral structure, and it's rotating. One side is approaching, and the other is receding."
The cloud of gas is composed mostly of hydrogen. The hydrogen atoms have been ionized, or stripped of their single electron, possibly by radiation originating near the black hole.
Over the next few months, they will attempt to peer even closer to the center, where the disk should be spinning at even higher speeds, improving the measurement of the black hole's mass.
M87: A Nearby Active Galaxy
Since observations as early as 1917, astronomers have suspected that unusual activity was taking place in the center of M87. They discovered a long finger of energy emanating from the nucleus. Investigations using radio telescopes in the 1950s detected large emissions of energy from the galaxy. This made it clear that the bright optical jet and radio source were the result of energy released by something in the center of the galaxy.
In high resolution images, the jet appears as a string of knots (some as small as ten light-years across) within a widening cone extending out from M87's core. A massive black hole had been the suspected "engine" for generating the enormous energies that power the jet. The gravitational energy is released by gas falling into the black hole, producing a beam or jet of electrons spiraling outward at nearly the speed of light.
Hunting for Black Holes
Hubble's observation confirms more than two centuries of theory and conjecture about the reality of black holes. The term black hole was coined in 1967 by American physicist John Wheeler. However, French scientist Simone Pierre LaPlace first speculated that "dark stars" might exist, which would have such intense gravitation that light itself could not escape. This conjecture was put into a theoretical framework with Einstein's general theory of relativity, published in 1915, which postulated that very massive objects actually warp space and time. The theory was supported in 1916 when German physicist Karl Schwarzschild described the mathematical basis behind black holes.
For decades, however, black holes were regarded not as real astronomical objects, but merely as mathematical curiosities. With the discovery of active galaxies and quasars, black holes have become the favored "engine" for explaining a wide array of powerful and energetic events seen in the universe.
Earlier Hubble Space Telescope observations found strong circumstantial evidence for the presence of a massive black hole in the core of M87, as well and other galaxies - both active and quiescent. These observations show a rapid increase in starlight toward the center of a galaxy. This suggests that stars are concentrated around the center due to the gravitational pull of a massive black hole. However, the black hole's mass could not be determined until Hubble's spectroscopic capabilities were used to measure the actual motion of gas around the black hole. Such high spatial resolution spectroscopic observations were not possible prior to the installation of the COSTAR by the astronauts during the December 1993 First Servicing Mission.

Two Suspects Sought in Multiple Car Thefts
SIOUX FALLS - Minnehaha County authorities are looking for two men who are believed to have stolen a white Cadillac in Garretson after dumping a vehicle stolen from Sioux Falls early Monday morning.
Captain Paul Niedringhaus of the Minnehaha County Sheriff's office says a deputy checking out several loud vehicle complaints in Garretson located the Cadillac shortly after 1:00 AM.
Captain Paul Niedringhaus:
Niedringhaus says the two are believed to have stolen the Cadillac at Palisades Oil in Garretson after leaving a Chevy Suburban that had been stolen from Sioux Falls.
He says they are believed to be responsible for at least ten hit-and-run incidents in the town, including one where they drove through the doors on a car wash.
No damage estimate is available, and the public is being asked for help in finding the men.

TV to iPod, PSP conversion tools spill onto the market
Now you see it...
It's been difficult to predict how Apple will continue to develop the video iPod, given that it had such a poor start in signing up so little content for the device.
Now, it's barely a few days into the New Year and already there are appearing handfuls for software tools for putting "personal copy" video onto not just the iPod, but also onto the Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP).
As far as we can work out, none of these methods, with the possible exception of the TiVo to iPod/PSP software in TiVoToGo, launched late last year, carries any form of copy protection, and they all rely on unprotected free to air TV content being transferred to the world's two most popular portable digital devices.
Last week video portal Blinkx copied the TiVo naming convention and launched blinkx.tv To Go, a tool to place video blogs onto iPods.
blinkx.tv To Go enables users to enter a search of video blogs, and either upload specific results to their iPod or portable video player, or save the search as a "channel," which is automatically updated and fed to their iPod, or other portable device.
Additionally four other US companies, Hauppauge Computer Works, InterVideo, Proxure and Bling Software have launched products this week that do something similar, mostly citing the Video iPod, but all able to work just as well targeting the Sony PSP.
There are no official numbers for Apple Video iPods, but it is a certainty that Sony has shipped more PSPs with video capability because all PSPs are video capable, whereas only a small percentage of iPods can operate with video.
Hauppauge Computer Works released a new extension of its Wing software, sold for $24.95, which works with its PC-based personal video recorder. The software previously took live TV shows recorded them in H.264 and DivX formats, burning them to recordable DVDs.
Now customers can opt for copying them to an iPod or PSP, both of which are H.264 compliant.
InterVideo added a new version of its DVD Copy software for $70, again able to covert video files for the iPod, Sony PSP and many 3G cell phones, while Proxure launched MyTV ToGo, a $30 application which transfers TV shows recorded for a Microsoft Windows Media Center PC to Apple's video iPod.
The Bling product XcopyPod, transfers exiting DVD movies to an Apple's video iPod.
What all of this does is sway the hand of Apple. For as long as there is no copy protection on normally transmitted TV content, then making personal copies with VHS players, DVD recorders and of course Video iPods and PSPs, is perfectly legal. While there are moves afoot to make this illegal in the US, by means of a broadcast flag, it is unlikely that this legislation, if passed in the US, would ever find its way into European or Asian copyright laws.

An editorial in the New York Times the other day reminded me that it's a good time for another look at the Obama administration's record on transparency.
The editorial lauded a new policy of disclosure for the Secret Service's logs of White House visits, naming the visitor, who set up the meeting, where it was held, and how long it lasted. The Times gushed: "[T]he administration is well on course to be the most open in modern times, with such earlier initiatives as the online Data.gov to allow citizen access to huge amounts of federal agency information."
These things are good—and the White House certainly means well—but I'm a little less enthusiastic, and I think the Times set the bar at the wrong height: A ham sandwich is more transparent than recent administrations. Candidate Obama made some firm commitments about transparency that are better for gauging his performance.
Disclosure of White House visitor logs is a small step forward, but I agree with the Times that a three to four month delay in revealing visits is too long. Much of this information is computerized at the White House and could be revealed in real time or within 24 hours. Also, visits that are not revealed for security or diplomatic reasons should be noted as such so that the quantity of such visits can be tracked over time and misuse of this secrecy ferreted out.
It's also slightly ironic to see the Times sing President Obama's transparency praises while the White House flouts a transparency commitment made to the paper back in June. For a story called "White House Changes the Terms of a Campaign Pledge About Posting Bills Online," White House spokesman Nick Shapiro told New York Times reporter Katherine Seelye, "[O]nce it is clear that a bill will be coming to the president's desk, the White House will post the bill online." It hadn't happened yet when I wrote about it in July, and it still hasn't happened, even though 22 more bills have passed into law since then.
Below the jump is an updated "Sunlight Before Signing" chart, reflecting all the bills President Obama has signed to date. Still only one (of sixty-one bills) has been posted on Whitehouse.gov for five days before signing. (That's a .016 average, baseball fans.)
The DTV Delay Act was online for five days after final passage in Congress, though not formal presentment to the president, but I've given him the benefit of the doubt to count it as a win.
I've amended the chart to highlight an interesting thing: Two-thirds of the time (41 of 61), the White House has held bills for five days or more before President Obama has signed them. The only thing keeping him from fulfilling his promise as to these bills is the simple failure to post them on Whitehouse.gov. It's hard to understand why the White House is not taking this easy step. The "Presidential Actions" page seems like a good place for it.
On measurable commitments, we have seen weakness, but, as I say, the White House certainly means well. This was confirmed for me again last week when Cass Sunstein, the new administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, invited a small group of transparency advocates including myself in for a meeting. We highlighted many angles of the transparency issue to him, mine being earmarks.
During the campaign, now-President Obama said, "[W]e will put every corporate tax break and every pork barrel project online for every American to see. You will know who asked for them and you can decide whether your representative is actually representing you."
Since then, it has been WashingtonWatch.com, not the White House, tracking and disclosing earmarks. But an OMB representative told Federal Computer Week in August that it would begin tracking and disclosing congressional earmarks from the request stage in the next budget cycle.
I passed a copy of the FCW article to Sunstein and some of the OIRA staff members who joined us at the meeting. I'm hopeful that they will follow through on this commitment. I'm looking forward to reporting tangible results to go along with the good intentions flowing from the White House!

This morning, Dow AgroSciences announced the name of a new herbicide, Enlist Duo, which is the key component of the Enlist system.
With Enlist, growers will gain crop tolerance to 2,4-D along with Monsanto's Roundup Ready technology. Unlike previous 2,4-D products, Dow's new 2,4-D choline is powered by their proprietary Colex-D technology. Damon Palmer, Dow's U.S. lead for the Enlist system, says the Enlist Duo herbicide is a combination of glyphosate and the new 2,4-D choline.
The Colex-powered 2,4-D component of Enlist Duo will provide growers with a powerful boost to a traditional glyphosate-only post-emergence weed control program. Dow representatives are excited about Duo's potential to control difficult weeds, such as Palmer amaranth, marestail and waterhemp.
Of course, many growers are well aware of 2,4-D's propensity for drift- and volatilization-related damage. Dow has conducted numerous tests with their new concoction of 2,4-D. Thus far, everything indicates this isn't the 2,4-D of the past.
In volatilization tests, Dow placed a 4X rate of their 2,4-D versus traditional formulations in row with soybeans and cotton. Scientists then placed a hood over the row and created artificially warm and humid conditions. In the highly volatile environment, the damage to cotton and soybeans was significant when using past 2,4-D formulations. With the Colex-D technology, damage was negligible.
Enlist is still pending regulatory approval. Palmer expects it will be commercially available in corn in 2013. For soybeans, expect commercialization in 2015. Cotton should follow shortly thereafter.
Bryan Young, weed specialist with Southern Illinois University – Carbondale, says southern Illinois has confirmed three glyphosate resistant weeds to date: marestail, waterhemp and Palmer amaranth. Additionally, many suspect there are resistant populations of giant ragweed.For many central Illinois farmers, this was the first year they dealt with glyphosate resistance. Problems controlling waterhemp have reached "train wreck" proportions, Young says. He expects in just three years, over 70% of Illinois fields will be combatting glyphosate resistant waterhemp.

Cedar Ridge bourbon is made by Cedar Ridge Vineyards & Distillery in Swisher, Iowa. The distillery began distilling bourbon in July 2010. All of the distillation and aging is done in small batches, and aged on premises. The distillery also produces a number of brandies, grappa, and liquers in their distilled spirits portfolio.
Let's take a closer look at this Iowa bourbon.
Cedar Ridge Iowa Bourbon Whiskey, 40% abv (80 Proof), $37/bottle
Color: Light Amber/Golden/Honey
Nose: Anise, clove, juniper, pineapple, golden raisin, and cedar shavings. Youthful and bright.
Palate: A bit flat but pleasant – rock candy sweetness, clove, and nutmeg.
Finish: Juniper, clove, wood resin grip, and honey sweetness.
Overall: Cedar Ridge is a promising craft product. One sniff and sip and it's clear the distillery is going for a lighter, brighter flavor profile – much like Koval out of Chicago. From that standpoint it's unique and different from the onset. The distillery's grappa and brandy roots are present as well. Frankly I am surprised this is 75% corn in the mashbill – the green rye notes come through well on both the nose and the palate. It's certainly young, but that funky new make "craft" thing is not present here (that's a good thing!). The distillate is clean and well made, but it needs more age and proof to add needed depth and richness. I am however intrigued and looking forward to future releases of this bourbon.
Sour Mash Manifesto Rating: 7.6 (Good)

Pandora had a rough day of trading, closing down 16%. Even though Pandora reported better than expected earnings on Thursday, its stock tanked today.
Last quarter, Pandora saw revenues of $194.3 million, well ahead of the $177.7 million analysts expected. Pandora also reported a loss of $0.13 per share, which is a penny better than analysts expected.
But the stock is down because of Pandora's disappointing guidance for Q2. Its guidance ranged from break-even to a profit of $0.03 per share on revenue $213 million to $218 million. But analysts were expecting a profit of $0.05 a share on revenue of $219 million.
Despite how investors reacted, Pandora is still growing. In Q1, listening hours grew 12% year-over-year to 4.8 billion. Pandora's number of active listeners also grew 8% to 75.3 million people.

I did wonder how modern to go with my choice of pattern and in the end I decided that it would be pushing me much further out of my comfort zone than I wanted. I'm quite a traditional girl at heart so I have decided to go with a traditional pattern but in colours that are perhaps a bit more current. After seeing this quilt I knew it could work… modern but traditional.
Back in February 2010, Nicole posted about her Toulouse quilt by the Miss Rosie Quilt Company. Inspired by that post and quilt I thought it would be nice to make my own version of it in solids.
Now that my pattern was chosen it was on to picking colours. As the pattern has 3 main colours I decided to use this picture and palette that I shared with you last week and focus on 3 main colours.
They are Kona Rich Red, Kona Delft, and Kona Ash…which is a lovely soft grey and will make a wonderful neutral. I ordered my fabrics from Simply Solids and The Village Haberdashery, both had easy to order online shops and all the fabrics arrived very quickly in the post.
Using EQ7 I planned out the quilt… The blocks are 15" and the pieced sashing is 3" wide. With borders it should make a respectable 65" x 85" quilt. And in keeping with traditional I hope to hand quilt it… but that's a long way off so really I should worry about that later.
Katherine has posted about her colours and plans too...make sure you visit to see her latest!
So now it's your turn.
So now it's your turn.
(I've started us off with a link to this post as an example of what to put...just the name of your blog and then add the link)
Until next time....

Seahawks basketball breaks into NJCAA national Top 20
At the onset of the 2012-13 season, no one knew anything about the Lamar State College – Port Arthur Seahawks.
Now, the word is getting out.
The Seahawks, at 9-0 overall and 3-0 in Region XIV play, have moved into the Division I national poll, landing at 19th after this past week's wins over Trinity Valley Community College and Panola College.
"We're honored to be listed among the top teams in the nation," Lamar State coach Lance Madison said. "But our focus has to be on our next opponent. We can't be satisfied with where we are; we have to move on to the next goal."
The Seahawks entered this season with Madison taking over not only as the Seahawks' new coach but as his first season as a head coach anywhere. Add to that the fact that not one player returned from last season's Region XIV regular-season championship team and most folks weren't holding out much hope for Lamar State as a basketball power in 2012-13. The preseason polls were indicative of a wait-and-see attitude among prognosticators as the Hawks were picked to finish sixth in the South Zone.
But as the Seahawks hit the road for Paris Junior College and a Wednesday, Dec. 5, 7 p.m. tipoff in a Region XIV game, they are the only team still undefeated for the season in the region and one of three without a loss in conference play. No surprise that Navarro is 3-0 in conference but new league addition Coastal Bend CC is also untouched through three games. Neither Navarro nor Coastal Bend are listed among the top NJCAA Division I teams in the nation this week.
Sharing room in the NJCAA Top 20 are Region XIV teams San Jacinto College-Central and Kilgore Junior College, lending credence to the long-held fact that the region is among the most difficult in the country.
"That says a lot about the tradition and the reputation of the conference we're in," Madison said. "So to be ranked along with teams like San Jacinto and Kilgore really is an honor."
Paris, which is 6-5 overall and 1-2 in conference play, has lost two straight to Coastal Bend and San Jacinto coming into the showdown with Lamar State.
The Dragons bring three players averaging in double-figures, led by sophomore guard Eddie Leal with 14.0 points per game. Another pair of sophomore guards, Anthony Adams and Mike Harmon, are averaging 10.6 and 10.4 ppg. Adams has been the hot hand since conference play began, hitting 12.3 points per game in three outings.
Freshman guard/forward Ty Allen leads the Seahawks this season with 20.7 points per game, good enough to rank him 18th in the nation in scoring. Sophomore guard/forward Kieran Woods is hitting for 16.4 points per game, and Jamal Shabazz is scoring 10.8 per game with a team-high 8.3 rebounds a game this season.
Also working on the inside for Lamar State is 7-foot-1 center Anthony Allen. His 3.2 blocks per game has him ranked No. 5 in the nation in that category. This past Saturday against Panola College, he knocked down 10 blocked shots, seven coming in the first half alone.
"Paris is good fundamentally and they will play us man-to-man. We're going to have to be strong inside and take advantage of our opportunities to score," Madison said.
The Hawks will return for one final home game before the holiday break, taking on Bossier Parish Community College on Saturday at 4 p.m. at the Carl Parker Center in Port Arthur.

Kuskokwim Indians
Loucheaux Subgroup (aka Barren Ground Chipewyan)
They include:
Gwich'in (aka Kutchin and the Loucheaux)
Upper Tanana
Northern Tutchone
Mentasta dialect of Ahtna
Upper Kuskokwim
Deg Xinag
The Northern Saulteaux
They are directly descended from the Chipewyan Hare Indians. They came up from the southeast at some distant date in the past. According to the Edinburgh Encyclopedia, a group of Lenni Lenape was sent to the southern shores of Hudson Bay then to the region of the Barren Grounds which includes northern Alaska. They are known as the Chipewyan. They met a people who claimed to have migrated to the McKenzie River Delta region, from a westward location which had no winters and had an animal with human facial features. In the Edinburgh Encyclopedia, they reported the people to also be Lenni Lenape. However, the Eskimo and Gwich'in or Loucheaux, spoke almost identical languages which means that information was corrupted. We must exclude the Gwich'in or Loucheaux who were not subjugated by the Chippewa's. They do not speak Dene or Algonquin. It is clearly written in the Edinburgh Encyclopedia that the Dene or Athabascans, speak Algonquin. Those Loucheaux who were subjugated by the Chippewa's were absorbed by them.
Gwich'in people are known historically to have been closely related to the Eskimo. They are also known as the Loucheaux. According to the 1832 Edinburgh Encyclopedia, the Gwich'in spoke a language almost identical to the Eskimos. It means they are foreign. Unlike the Eskimos, many of the Gwich'in were subjugated by the Chippewa military. Those who escaped Chippewa subjugation stayed very close to other Eskimo people between what is now Inuvik, Northwest Territories and Kugluktuk, Nunavut or the Beaufort Sea. Every summer white ships sailed to the region between Inuvik and Kugluktuk and supplied the Eskimos and Gwich'in with cannons, guns, and food. This intensified after an overland route between Kugluktuk and what is now Baker Lake, Nunavut was discovered in the 1760s or 1770s. White leaders learned from the Chippewa's or Chipewyan, that a river from Baker Lake led all the way to what is now Bathurst Inlet, Nunavut. They established some sort of supply line in the Bathurst Inlet region where the Eskimos and Loucheaux were supplied with cannons, guns, and food every summer. This probably happened during the 1770s.
With an ever increasing amount of cannons and guns, the Eskimos and Gwich'in fought their way from Bathurst Inlet to Baker Lake then to the area where Chesterfield Inlet is now. Chesterfield Inlet is located along the northwestern shores of Hudson Bay. Later on, Hudson Bay Company established a post or fort at Chesterfield Inlet. Though Chesterfield Inlet was an important location, Churchill was far more important. White leaders knew they could not only supply the Eskimos and Gwich'in with cannons, guns, and food by using the Bering Sea to sail to the region between Inuvik and Bathurst Inlet, they also knew they could bring in 1,000s of Eskimos and Gwich'in to the Churchill region using the overland route between Bathurst Inlet and Chesterfield Inlet.
Chippewa military leaders were aware of what was transpiring and intensified their military campaigns between Bathurst Inlet and Chesterfield Inlet. However, the Eskimos and Gwich'in successfully established themselves in the Chesterfield Inlet region. From there, they were shipped down to Churchill then to York Factory. They used both locations to invade northern Manitoba and northern Saskatchewan. Using Churchill River, they sailed to Reindeer Lake then south to where Hudson Bay Company established a fort at Cumberland house, Saskatchewan in 1774. From York Factory, they sailed the Nelson River to the interior of Manitoba. Most likely they used the Churchill River more often at first but after the 1780-1782 cowardly acts of the whites, the Indian population had been dramatically reduced. Nelson River became their prime route to the Saskatchewan region after 1782. In 1800, Hudson Bay Company became aware of a Chippewa fort located in southwestern Saskatchewan.
Peter Fidler, who worked for Hudson Bay Company, established a post or fort at Chesterfield House, Saskatchewan that same year (1800). Estuary, Saskatchewan was later built near Chesterfield House. Chesterfield House was 132 miles north of Montana. After the fort was built, they sent in 100s of Eskimo and Gwich'in soldiers to fight the Chippewa's of the Alberta, Montana, North Dakota, and Saskatchewan region. The war has been fabricated by white historians to have been a war between the Algonquin Blackfoot Confederacy and the Algonquin Cree which is incorrect. No Algonquin's who knew about the Seven Fires Prophecy, would fight each other. They knew better. In 1803, Hudson Bay Company built Chiswick House in the Northwest Territories which was located near Fort Resolution.
Using the Reindeer Lake region, they sent 100s of Eskimo and Loucheaux soldiers to the area south of Great Slave Lake and north of Lake Athabasca, from the Reindeer Lake region. A war which had been ongoing for more than 50 years was now intensifying. It was a war about the Northwest Passage. White goals were to halt contact between the North American Chippewa's and Siberian Chippewa's and destroy the Chippewa capitol at the Great Falls of the Missouri in Montana. Years before Lewis and Clark visited Montana in 1805, other whites had already been to Montana. That includes the Great Falls of the Missouri River.
An example of how the Eskimo and Loucheaux population increased between 1800 and 1856, between Inuvik and Estuary, was recorded by Hudson Bay Company. Their (Hudson Bay Company) McKenzie River District (located in what is now the Northwest Territories) had an estimated population of 10,430 in 1856. Their (Hudson Bay Company) Saskatchewan District had an estimated population of 28,050 in 1856. Hudson Bay Company's Saskatchewan District covered southern Alberta and the western part of southern Saskatchewan or the plains. It was reported that the population of Saskatchewan District was decreasing which means the whites and their Asian allies were losing the war by 1856. They also reported that the population of the Indians who lived in the forests was increasing.
Chippewa leaders knew the whites were exchanging bottles of the hard drink which contained poison and always did instruct their people to stay away from the white forts and trading posts. They only visited the trading posts once or twice a year. However, they could not prevent all of their subjects from doing business at the trade posts. Eskimo and Loucheaux people almost always tended to set up their camps very close to the white forts and trading posts. Thus, the whites could actually give almost accurate population estmates of the Asians. The Chippewa population was much higher. Though their population was decimated in the late 18th century, the Chippewa population had increased dramatically in the Alberta, Montana, Northwest Territories, North Dakota, and Saskatchewan region by 1856 as a result of a migration of the Great Lakes Chippewa's to the west. That is why they eventually brought the Eskimos and the Loucheaux out of the conflict. They eventually absorbed them after the whites knifed them in the back. By the 1860s, the whites no longer needed the military support of the Eskimos and the Loucheaux.
So the Loucheaux, who are the northern most Saulteaux, are really an admixture of Algonquin and Eskimo, especially in Alaska, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. Our focus is on non Eskimos who speak Dene or Athabascan. We know from the Edinburgh Encyclopedia that the Dene people or Athabascans's, are Algonquin. Later in the 19th century, white historians made a blunder by classifying the Dene or Athabascan's as being of a distinct language family. However, the Dene or Athabascan people are Algonquin. And don't even speculate that the Lenni Lenape came from Asia. It's the other way around. There is a reason why they have now commenced a new language family known as the Dene-Yeniseian Language Family. The Yeniseian people live in Siberia.
The Beaver
They are classified as being Northwestern Canada Athabascan Language which includes Chipewyan. They live in northeastern British Columbia, northwestern Alberta, and southwestern Northwest Territories. Though they live some distance from the northern most Saulteaux, they must be included as being a part of the Chipewyan who are the northern most Saulteaux. They are not one of the two tribes who claimed to have lived to the west where no winters existed and an animal with human facial features lived. Those two tribes are the Eskimo and Gwich'in.

The Carrier including Babine, Chilcotin, Dakelh, Nicola, Tsetsaut (not certain), and Wet'suwet'en
Today, the Carrier Indians live in British Columbia but before the whites invaded they probably lived in central and southern Alberta and central and southern Saskatchewan. They are not Chipewyan but are among the oldest of the western Algonquin's. They are possibly related to the Lenni Lenape who lived in the Alberta, Montana, and Wyoming region before migrating east to fight the white invaders. The Babine Tribe is included as Carrier.

The Chippewan (Chipewyan)
Originally, the Chippewan lived in central and northern Manitoba and parts of what are now the eastern portion of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, north of the Manitoba border. However, according to the 1832 Edinburgh Encyclopedia, they lived southeast of the Great Lakes and are Lenni Lenape. They are really Anishinabe. They migrated to the location just south of Hudson Bay then to the Northwest Territories including Nunavut, then into northern Alaska. Most of their district is now termed the Barren Grounds. The Chipewyan Akaitcho Territory covers 185,329 sq. mi. or 480,000 sq. km. Included as being Chipewyan are the Beaver, Copper Indians (the Yellowknifes), Dogrib (Tlicho), and Sahtu or Slavey who are also known as the Hare Indians (they are the northern most Saulteaux). The Hare Indians include the Deg Hit'an, Gwich'in Dene, Han, Holikachuk, Kaska, Koyukon, Kuskokwim, Sekani, Tagish, Tahltan, Tanana, and Tuchone. Chipewyan communities are as follows.

The Dogrib
They are Chipewyan. They are not one of the two tribes who claimed to have migrated from the west where no winters existed and an animal with human facial features lived. Those two tribes are the Eskimo and Gwich'in. The Dogrib people (Tlicho people) have a territory of 15,100 sq. mi. or 39,000 sq. km. Their nation is located between Great Bear Lake and Great Slave Lake.
The Slavey or Sahtu (Hare Indians)
They are the northern most Saulteaux. Their territory is the northern most territory of the northern most Saulteaux. It is located east and north of Great Bear Lake and includes northern Yukon and northern Alaska. The Gwich'in or Loucheaux Dene, are really Hare Indians who absorbed many of the invading Eskimo and Gwich'in. The northern most Saulteaux have a territory in the Northwest Territories which covers 15,999 sq. mi. or 41,437 sq. km. However, the Gwich'in Dene are also a part of the northern most Saulteaux and their territory must be included as a part of the Sahtu Territory. When including the Gwich'in Territory it covers 37,982 sq. mi. or 98,372 sq. km. When including the other Chipewyan Districts, the total size of the Sahtu (northern most Saulteaux) Nation is 321,411 sq. mi. or 832,411 sq. km. Do not recognize any land agreement which reduces the territory of the Gwich'in Dene, between the Gwich'in Dene and Canada and the United States. It is illegal.
The Tsuu T'ina
They are Blackfoot or a part of the Blackfoot Confederacy. They lived in southern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan. They possibly lived in Montana also. They were constantly at war against the invading Eskimos during the 18th and much of the 19th centuries. They were forced to lease much of their land to Canada for military reasons, between 1910 and 1996. Many Chippewa's from Montana were probably forced to live at the Tsuu T'ina Reserve in 1910. A hint, the Tsuu T'ina land that was leased was leased to the Montana Chippewa's. In 1910, 100s of Chippewa's fled from the Blackfeet Reservation of Montana. The Tsuu T'ina and the other Blackfoots, absorbed many of the Eskimos and Loucheaux, after the whites knifed them in the back. Thus, the reason for white historians claiming the Tsuu T'ina originally lived to the north and were from the Beaver Indian Tribe.
Size of their nation is 109 sq. mi. or 283 sq. km.
Their population is 1,982
Gwich'in and Han
There are two different Gwich'in and Han people. One are made up of Algonquin's and Eskimos, while the other is Eskimo. Those who are Eskimo are one of the two tribes who claimed they lived to the west where no winters existed and an animal with human facial features lived. The Gwich'in and Han live in Alaska, the Northwest Territories, and the Yukon in Canada. In the 1992 Gwich'in Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement, the Gwich'in were left with 21,983 sq. mi. or 56,935 sq. km. in the Northwest Territories. Part of that land is located in the Yukon. White historians made a mistake by first classifying the Gwich'in or Loucheaux, as being Eskimo then later classified them as Athabascan or Dene. Since their territory is adjacent to that of the northern most Saulteaux, it means they are the northern most Saulteaux. There are currently 9,000 Gwich'in. In Alaska, the Gwich'in live in the towns of Arctic Village, Beaver, Birch Creek, Chalkyitsik, Circle, Fort Yukon, and Venetie. You would think the weather is cold year round at those villages but they have warm summers. For an example, at Chalkyitsik which is north of Fairbanks (Chalkyitsik is at 66 degrees north latitude while Fairbanks is at 64 degrees north latitude), it is warmer in the summer. The average summer highs in Chalkyitsik are for June, July and August a balmy 71.5, 73.1 and 68.5. Most people think Alaska does not get too hot in the summer but they are obviously wrong.
Ahtna and Tanaina
Native to the State of Alaska, the Ahtna and Tanaina people probably lived further towards the east. Some Ahtna are more closely related to the Gwich'in Dene. At the present time the Ahtna Indians of Alaska have 1,770,000 acres or 2,766 sq. mi. or 7,154 sq. km. of land. Their population is around 1,200.
Koyukon including the Deg Hit'an and Holikachuk
They are a part of the northern most Saulteaux. Gwich'in and Han are classified as being Central Alaska-Yukon Athabascan Language. These Athabascan people live in the interior of Alaska and are probably members of the Alaska Native Corporation. All may be affiliated with the Doyon region of the Alaska Native Corporation. The tribes which make up Doyon, have a total land area of 12.5 million acres or 18,750 sq. mi. or 48,562 sq. km.
Tahltan including the Kaska and Tagish
They are classified as being Northwestern Canada Athabascan Language which includes Chipewyan. They are an extension of the northern most Saulteaux. These Athabascan people live in British Columbia and the Yukon in Canada. Their population is around 5,000.
Tanana including the Kuskokwim and Tuchone
They are a part of the northern most Saulteaux. Their language is classified as being Central Alaska-Yukon Athabascan. These Athabascan people live in the interior of Alaska and are probably members of the Alaska Native Corporation. All may be affiliated with the Doyon region of the Alaska Native Corporation. The tribes which make up Doyon, have total land area of 12.5 million acres or 18,750 sq. mi. or 48,562 sq. km.

David Pastore of Greenwich wins Met Amateur with a hole-in-one
LOCUST VALLEY, N.Y. -- David Pastore doesn't usually show much emotion on the golf course, but he couldn't help doing as he said "a Phil Mickelson arms in the air jump," immediately after ending the 112th Met Amateur Championship in rarest of rare fashion Sunday afternoon.
You've heard of walk-off wins in baseball. Well, Pastore produced a thrilling walk-off victory on the golf course, attaining his second MGA championship of the summer the way most golfers can only dream of -- by making a hole-in-one.
Ahead 2-up against Matthew Lowe (Farmingdale, N.Y.) with two holes to play, Pastore, a Greenwich resident, made a hole-in-one on the par-3, 135-yard 17th hole in the afternoon round (35th hole of the match), giving him a 3-and-1 win and the MGA Met Amateur Championship at The Creek.
"I knew it was a good shot when I hit it, but of course, I never expected it to go in," Pastore said. "When it went in the hole, I didn't realize the match was over, I was just more thrilled that I made a hole-in-one. That's the most emotion I've ever shown on a course. It was a special moment."
Sports Videos
Pastore's drive off the tee on 17, went past the hole, but slowly trickled back toward the pin. Following the advice of his younger brother and caddie Paul, Pastore used a pitching wedge on 17.
"The wind here is such a factor I didn't know how much it would affect the shot, but it didn't really affect it," said Pastore, Greenwich High and Virginia graduate. "This was actually my third hole-in-one, but the first two were while I was just playing for fun at the Griff (Griffith E. Harris Golf Course) and Birdwood, my home course at college. But they don't compare to this one. Bonus points go to Paul for making me use the right club."
The hole-in-one also excited Lowe.
"I was rooting for it, no doubt," said Lowe, also a runner-up at last week's Carter Cup. "As it landed I knew I lost because there was going to be a tap in, so I was raising my hands for it to go in, so I could say I lost on a hole-in-one."
The morning round of the 36-hole final was tight with each player holding a 1-up lead several times. A birdie on No. 17 gave Pastore a 1-up lead heading into the final 18 holes.
"It was important to get that 1-up lead going into lunch," said Pastore, who also won the Ike Championship and Westchester Open this summer. "Mentally, it was more of a factor than anything else and it put some pressure on him, forcing him to come get me."
A birdie on the 22nd hole and a par on the 23rd hole put Pastore 3-up and he stayed on top.
"I made a few clutch shots, which helped me gain the momentum," said Pastore, who was cheered on a big group of family members and friends, including his former high school coach, Jeff Santilli. "Winning this tournament is an honor, no one has won the Met Amateur and Ike the same year since Johnson Wagner (PGA Tour Player), so I feel fortunate that I could come out here and win in match play."

August is a peak holiday season for Bali, so we highly suggest that you plan your travel in advance. A number of international carriers offer direct flights to Bali.
The national flag carrier Garuda Indonesia reaches Bali from Jakarta, Darwin, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Melbourne, Nagoya, Osaka, Perth, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, Taipei, and Tokyo.
International airlines serving Bali are Air Asia (Kuala Lumpur), Cathay Pacific (Hong Kong), China Airlines (Taipei), Continental Micronesia (Guam), Japan Airlines (Osaka, Tokyo), Korean Airlines (Seoul), Malaysian Airlines (Kuala Lumpur), Qantas (Darwin, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney, Singapore), Royal Brunei (Bandar Sri Begawan), Singapore Airlines (Singapore) and Thai Airways (Bangkok).
Before you arrive, please check the name of the area where your hotel is located. From the Ngurah Rai International Airport it will take about 20 minutes to Nusa Dua, 10-15 minutes to Kuta and Legian, 25 minutes to Seminyak, and 20 minutes to Sanur.
The 9th ICAAP local organising committee will provide free shuttle services from the airport to official 9th ICAAP hotels for delegates arriving in Bali. There will also be free shuttle services to the airport after the congress. Please check the schedule later. Even if you are not staying at an official hotel, you may use this shuttle service to the nearest hotel. Kindly ask our volunteers as you arrive at the airport.
If for some reason, you were not able to get on our shuttle services, there are official airport taxis which are convenient with fares posted at the airport taxi stand. At time of writing (June 2009) the fare is approximately Rp 95.000,- to Nusa Dua and Sanur and Rp 50.000,- to Kuta.
The only means of land travel in Bali is by road. Public transport is relatively cheap, but in recent years have become rather scarce, since private cars and motorcycles became more numerous and much preferred by the locals.
The angkot (an acronym which means city transport) are small vans which usually serve the needs of the local population and not for tourists, while metered taxis with air-conditioning are more convenient for delegates. Bali Taxi and Kowinu Taxi are two reliable companies which serve the areas where you will be staying at. Both taxi companies can be called by phone (Bali Taxi: 0361-701111; Kowinu Taxi: 0361-773030) . A rough guide for fares to Nusa Dua are as follows: from Kuta approximately Rp 70.000,- and from Sanur approximately Rp 80.000,-
Car rental is relatively cheap and is popular among tourists. You may charter a minivan (the Indonesian Kijang) or a more luxury car. Cars are usually rented with the driver, but carefully check what is being offered in the package. Some car rentals charge you by the hour, with a minimum of 3 hours. Some may charge a one-day fare (8 hours) with extra fee for additional hours. Some give different fares for intercity travelling. Some may give an all-in rental fare, while others may ask you to pay for the petrol (gasoline) at the petrol station. Check all these terms and conditions before taking the car.
As you walk around Nusa Dua, Kuta, and Sanur, you may find some sign boards offering shuttle services for a one-way trip to various locations with fixed prices.
There will be free shuttle services (minivans) from official ICAAP hotels to the BICC in Nusa Dua, and from the BICC to official hotels. Kindly check the shuttle schedule provided later.
Minivans will also stand-by at certain pick-up/drop off zones for delegates who stay at places other than the official hotels.

Wizards fans cheer for chicken sandwiches despite loss
When you're a fan of the Washington Wizards, you take any reason to celebrate within your reach.
BOX SCORE: Jazz 83, Wizards 76
With Saturday's 83-76 loss to the Utah Jazz, the Wizards dropped to 0-8 for the second straight season. But the fans who stuck around for the fourth quarter in Washington found solace -- perhaps too much -- in a fast-food giveaway.
Washington Post Wizards beat writer Michael Lee captured the scene:
The only time the crowd got excited was when Marvin Williams missed two free throws in the fourth quarter, meaning that fans were rewarded with free sandwiches from Chick-fil-A. Fans hugged and celebrated, not even noticing that the Wizards were unable to corral the rebound.
Even the players took notice of the fans' euphoria. Jazz power forward Paul Millsap told Joseph White of The Associated Press, "They didn't get a win; at least they got some sandwiches."
Cheering during a loss might seem like bad form, but it's hard to blame Wizards fans. Anyone who watches a team trot out a starting lineup of A.J. Price, Jordan Crawford, Trevor Ariza, Jan Veseley and Emeka Okafor has license to react to a game however they want.
Someday soon Wizards fans will actually get to cheer a win instead of lunch. Until then, I leave them with the words of "Community" character Jeff Winger: "To victory -- it feels unfamiliar, but it tastes like chicken."

As Silk Road 2.0 Pops Up, The Government Needs To Avoid The Temptation Of Moral Panic
from the moral-panic-a-coming deptPlenty of digital ink has been spilled about the supposed launch of Silk Road 2.0, a near copy of the original infamous Silk Road "dark web" shopping site for all sorts of illegal things. But, perhaps more interesting is how Congress suddenly feels the need to jump in and try to understand the dark web and things like Bitcoin:
The Senate Homeland Security Committee, officials tell TIME, plans on holding hearings on Bitcoin within the month. The committee sent letters to nine federal agencies in July asking for their thoughts on Bitcoins and other virtual currencies in the hopes of developing a holistic approach to the so-called cryptocurrency that neither stifles the currency's potential nor enables criminals to abuse it.This should be cause for concern. After all, it wasn't that long ago, that Senator Chuck Schumer absolutely flipped his lid about Bitcoin, claiming that Bitcoin itself was "money laundering" after some of the first news stories about the original Silk Road came out. The fact that he so immediately conflated the dark web with Bitcoin should be problematic already -- though, one hopes that he's since learned some more about Bitcoin and has realized his original statements were exaggerated.
Of course, any time Congress gets involved, especially with the kind of story that can be portrayed the way Silk Road has been portrayed, you almost expect the moral panic and grandstanding to reach a fever pitch. The one (minor) good sign in all of this is that the Senator who is putting together that hearing on Bitcoin, Tom Carper, seems to be going out of his way to make it clear that he isn't looking to have a kneejerk reaction to all of this -- especially if it might stifle important innovations. After news broke of the new Silk Road, he was quick to put out the following statement:
"This new website – launched barely a month after Federal agents shut down the original Silk Road -- underscores the inescapable reality that technology is dynamic and ever-evolving and that government policy needs to adapt accordingly. Rather than play 'whack-a-mole' with the latest website, currency, or other method criminals are using in an effort to evade the law, we need to develop thoughtful, nimble and sensible federal policies that protect the public without stifling innovation and economic growth. Our committee intends to have that conversation – among others - at our hearing this month on virtual currency."That's a whole hell of a lot better than Schumer's "it's money laundering!" grandstanding from two years ago -- but that doesn't mean that others in Congress will be as willing as Carper to take a careful, measured and informed approach to all of this. While it sounds good to create policies that "protect the public without stifling innovation and economic growth," in practice that's often a lot more difficult than most people think -- and Congress often has an uncanny ability to say one thing and put in place policies that do the exact opposite.
While some people like to mock concepts like the dark web and Bitcoin, there's a tremendous amount of important innovation happening within and around each of them. While they may initially be used, in part, for illegal activity, that's going to become less and less of the predominant use, and all sorts of powerful new tools and services are likely to develop -- if allowed. Bitcoin, in particular, has many powerful uses beyond just being a currency (in fact, that may be one of its least interesting characteristics), but overly regulating it based on moral panics might kill that off. I already know a few entrepreneurs and investors who are unwilling to commit to some really interesting Bitcoin projects, just because they know the regulatory situation might destroy the space overnight. Hopefully, Congress will avoid that temptation to go on a full out moral panic -- but their track record with these kinds of things isn't that great.

As I've said (way too many times...) whenever I ask Mike what he'd like to have for dinner, or what he'd like me to serve if we're having company the answer is usually steak (and a chocolate cake, for that matter). Sometimes I resist, insisting that we should try something new and different that I can blog about.
Last weekend we were having the same conversation on Sunday night, then I thought - I bet everyone has this conversation with their husband. Instead of resisting, I decided to prepare the steaks as we always do (seared on the stove, finished in the oven...), but try a new sauce on top and a new interesting side.
As I mentioned in my last post, we had all of our meals on the porch last weekend to take advantage of the first real springy weekend.
I served the sauce over steaks that I seared in a skillet - my favorite way to prepare steaks. Here is the link with step-by-step instructions that has recently taken off on pinterest... I guess everyone is looking for a great way to make steaks at home. Here I used strip steaks, but you can use your favorite cut.
Sweet Shallot Wine Sauce
with Seared Steaks
6 whole shallots
6 cloves of garlic
4 tablespoons of butter
Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper
1 cup of red wine
1 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar
red pepper flakes, small pinch of
1 teaspoon of fresh thyme
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Peel outer paper skin from shallots and trim the roots off leaving the end intact to hold it together. Cut them into quarters lengthwise.
In a large ovenproof pan, melt half of the butter then add the shallots, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook for a couple of minutes then place the pan in the oven for 30 minutes. Toss half way through.
Remove the pan from the oven and place it on the stove top. Add the rest of the butter and wine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 6 minutes until thickened. Add brown sugar, red pepper flakes and thyme. Cook for just 1 more minute until thick. Serve poured over steaks.
Because steaks are such a great (and popular) option to serve for entertaining, I plan to do more versions of "Steaks and Sides" - share with me your favorites! I'll let you know if I ever get the Curry Cauliflower Gratin worked out...

I wanted to comment on Splenda. Splenda, also known as sucralose, was created accidentally when some chemists were trying to produce an insecticide. Here is the process by which they produce the formula sold in stores:
"1. Sucrose is tritylated with trityl chloride in the presence of dimethylformamide and 4-methylmorpholine, and the tritylated sucrose is then acetylated with acetic anhydride.
2. The resulting sucrose molecule TRISPA is chlorinated with hydrogen chlorine in the presence of tolulene.
3. The resulting 4-PAS is heated in the presence of methyl isobutyl ketone and acetic acid.
4. The resulting 6-PAS is chlorinated with thionyl chloride in the presence of toluene and benzyltriethylammonium chloride.
5. The resulting TOSPA is treated with methanol in the presence of sodium methoxide to produce sucralose." (Note that methanol, wood alcohol aka paint remover, is one of the questionable ingredients in aspartame.)
In addition, the bags and packets of Splenda commercially available are not pure sucralose. They also contain bulking agents. All artificial sweeteners use bulking agents. Do you know what they use? Sugar. Dextrose, sucrose, and maltodextrin. (Maltodextrin is corn syrup solids composed primarily from fructose and glucose in a starch form.) All sweetener packets are at least 96 percent sugar. Splenda is 99% sugar.
The packets are labelled calorie free as a result of manipulating a loophole in the food labeling laws. The product can be described as sugar free if a serving contains less than 5 grams of sugar, and calorie free if a serving is less than 5 calories. So they set the serving size on bags at .5 grams and the packets contain a serving of 1 gram. A one gram packet contains 4 calories. This can be confirmed on the manufacturer's website in the FAQ section: "Like many no and low calorie sweeteners, each serving of SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener contains a very small amount of common food ingredients, e.g., dextrose and/or maltodextrin, for volume. Because the amount of these ingredients is so small, SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener still has an insignificant calorie value per serving and meets FDA's standards for "no calorie" sweeteners. "
To make matters worse, when sucralose was shown to not raise blood sugars, it was the pure substance that was tested, not the mixture that is sold to the public. Dextrose, sucrose, and/or maltodextrin are definitely going to raise a diabetic's blood sugar. There is also a great deal of evidence that artificial sweeteners actually cause an increase in appetite, causing people who consume them to take in more calories than they would otherwise.
Stevia, on the other hand, lowers blood sugar, making it a much better choice. If you have tried stevia in the past and did not like the flavor, you might want to try another brand. SteviaClear is a good brand which will sweeten beverages and some foods using just a very small amount. For sweeting hot liquids, you might prefer KAL stevia powder. For baking, recipes are a little harder to convert because sugar in baked goods liquifies when heated. To replace sugar with stevia for baking, you need to find a way to add extra liquid to the recipe.
Parents, if you want to be sure your children are avoiding sucralose, remember to check their medications. Many over the counter medications, prescription medications, and even chewable vitamins contain sucralose or other artificial sweeteners. If you are looking for whole foods vitamins without artificial sweetener, colors, or flavors, here are some safe choices.
Information about artificial sweeteners is available in greater detail in Dr. Mercola's book, Take Control of Your Health or through his website, sweetdeception.com.
