Other projects the research vessel will carry out include tethering devices to the seabed to monitor ocean temperature, salinity and currents for two years. At Pine Island, the thinning of the shelf seems to be linked to a shift in deep ocean currents that are bringing warmer water from the depths and melting the ice No one knows why. On the Antarctic peninsula further north, several ice shelves have disintegrated in recent years apparently because of a 3 degrees Celsius (5.4 Fahrenheit) warming of air temperatures in the past 50 years that may be linked to global warming In much of Antarctica, temperatures are little changed. Whatever the causes, glaciers may slide off the land more quickly if ice shelves vanish, adding water to the ocean and nudging up sea levels. "You have to start worrying whether the system is speeding up, moving ice more rapidly into the ocean than it was even 50 years ago," Jacobs said. 
Shifts in winds might be causing currents to suck warmer water from deeper parts of the ocean. "People are surprised to hear that it's powered by 5,000 'D' sized alkaline torch batteries," said Steve McPhail of the British National Oceanography Centre in Southampton who engineered the Autosub. "This is the most economical way of powering a submarine like this," he said. The submarine is due to make a half-dozen missions under the ice its route has to be programmed in advance but it can manoeuvre around hazards.

He said the submarine is yellow because it makes it easy to spot when it surfaces, and its colour has "absolutely nothing" to do with the Beatles song "Yellow Submarine".

I wish the Colts would change the script Does anyone else feel like Colts' games are getting to be like a bad movie plot There's only so many times a side can allow themselves to go in well behind at half-time, only to come out and steal the match in the second half, surely Apart from being the storyline to every sports film ever made, it is also starting to look a bit like they stole the idea from Ali's "Rope a Dope" strategy, allowing their opponent to burn themselves out and then hitting them when they are beat. Whether they put together an unbeaten season or not is a matter of supreme indifference to me. I wish Jerry Jones had thought to put some turf in that stadium Did you see the state of that pitch on Thanksgiving I know that every modern stadium suffers from the same malaise, whatever the sport it is hard to get grass to grow where there is so little natural light but that surface looked shockingly bad.
The fact was only emphasized when Tashard Choice took a snap in the Wildcat formation, ran left, then slipped and fell behind the line of scrimmage with no opponent near him. I wish that Play60 film was more realistic Are they seriously expecting me to believe that Drew Brees was allowed to take a snap and then dink a little screen pass to Barack Obama, whilst DeMarcus Ware just stands in the backfield and watches If you want to get kids playing sport, you have to do it properly and there's just no way that, if you do that, Ware doesn't come in and flatten the President before he's taken a step What kid wouldn't want to have the chance to do that.

For the second straight week Minnesota pounced on a weaker opponent and drove them into the ground like an elite NFL football team should. Though for the second straight week the Vikings failed to score in the first quarter they spent the final 7 minutes of the opening quarter driving down to the Bears 1 yard line.
