[unable to retrieve full-text content]

Source: jacksonville.com --- Monday, April 09, 2012
GEORGETOWN, Texas (AP) ? Tim Tebow drew a crowd of about 15,000 to an outdoor Easter Church service Sunday, telling the gathering it's important to be outspoken about faith while admonishing athletes about not being better role models. "In Christianity, it's the Pope and Tebow right now," Celebration Church pastor Joe Champion he said. "We didn't have enough room to handle the Pope." read more ...

Students find success at Future Business Leaders competition ...

West Lincoln Future Business Leaders of America students.

AMANDA SEBASTIANO
Staff Writer

Improving their communication skills, learning how to present to an audience and getting an idea of what their lives will be like post-graduation, were just a few of the tools some of Lincoln County?s Future Business Leaders of America students studied recently ? skills they hope will help them stand out from their peers when looking for a job later.
?FBLA allows students to excel in all areas of business,? West Lincoln High School business teacher and FBLA coach Kelly Ann Somers told the Times-News. ?It builds confidence, team work, leadership skills and gives the students an edge over others applying for colleges and top-notch jobs.?
Lincolnton High and WLHS had students who competed at the State Leadership Conference in Greensboro March 22.
WLHS sent 11 of the 41-member FBLA team to the competition ? one of which won first place and was named North Carolina?s Future Business Leader, 16-year-old Megan Avery. Betsy Roland,17, and Matthew Schaffer,18, worked as a team and won second place with their business plan project, while others ranked in the top four and top 10. Avery, along with Roland and Shaffer, are moving onto the national competition in San Antonio in June; a costly trip that?s worth the experience, Somers said.
Somers and Jennifer Welch, who oversee West Lincoln?s team, are estimating the flight, hotel and registration fees to total about $3,000 for all three students to go on the trip. So far, the group has been trying to raise money through local fundraising events, like their Powder Puff football game.
Those in the club are learning techniques to use on their job search, such as interviewing tips, resume-building and job application skills.
Those a part of FBLA also participate in community service activities, such as the WLHS group who bought gifts for local, under-privileged children last Christmas and donated to the House of Hope, a counseling center for girls ages 12-17.
Down the road, LHS students reflect on their experiences at states and how the club will help them later in life. Their FBLA team was age and experience-diverse.
Senior and FBLA President Zachary Fitzgerald has participated in state conferences all four years of high school and is excited to use his new-found knowledge he gained through the group when he goes to college and eventually picks a career.
Freshman Andrew Cromer, however, is just getting warmed up. Cromer ranked in the top 10 for Word Processing at his first competition ? an amazing accomplishment, said Jennifer Luper, FBLA coach and career and technical department chair at Lincolnton High.
Senior Dylan Houser was the third member of the LHS club to travel to Greensboro, and took away some insight after his first time competing at the state level.
Luper and the her FBLA trio thought the session about learning to buy a car was one of the most practical sections of the trip and most enjoyable. Students were shown what type of questions to ask when deciding to get a loan for a car at the bank and what factors are important to consider.
?Even if you end up deciding not to pursue a career in business, you are still learning valuable leadership and life skills,? Houser said. ?We learned how to apply technology skills to every-day life.?

Three Lincolnton High School FBLA students also competed in Greensboro.

What Thawed the Last Ice Age?

News | Energy & Sustainability

The relatively pleasant global climate of the last 10,000 years is largely thanks to higher levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide

By David Biello ?| April 4, 2012?|

ICE MELT: Carbon dioxide likely trapped the extra heat responsible for the end of the last Ice Age, according to a new analysis. Image: Courtesy of Michele Koppes, University of British Columbia

Roughly 20,000 years ago the great ice sheets that buried much of Asia, Europe and North America stopped their creeping advance. Within a few hundred years sea levels in some places had risen by as much as 10 meters?more than if the ice sheet that still covers Greenland were to melt today. This freshwater flood filled the North Atlantic and also shut down the ocean currents that conveyed warmer water from equatorial regions northward. The equatorial heat warmed the precincts of Antarctica in the Southern Hemisphere instead, shrinking the fringing sea ice and changing the circumpolar winds. As a result?and for reasons that remain unexplained?the waters of the Southern Ocean may have begun to release carbon dioxide, enough to raise concentrations in the atmosphere by more than 100 parts per million over millennia?roughly equivalent to the rise in the last 200 years. That CO2 then warmed the globe, melting back the continental ice sheets and ushering in the current climate that enabled humanity to thrive.

That, at least, is the story told by a new paper published in Nature on April 5 that reconstructs the end of the last ice age. Researchers examined sediment cores collected from deep beneath the sea and from lakes as well as the tiny bubbles of ancient air trapped inside ice cores taken from Antarctica, Greenland and elsewhere. (Scientific American is part of Nature Publishing Group.) The research suggests that?contrary to some prior findings?CO2 led the prior round of global warming rather than vice versa, just as it continues to do today thanks to rising emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases.

"We find that global temperature lags a bit behind the CO2 [levels]," explains paleoclimatologist Jeremy Shakun, a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration fellow at Harvard and Columbia universities, who led the research charting ancient CO2 concentrations and global temperatures. "CO2 was the big driver of global warming at the end of the Ice Age."

Shakun and his colleagues started by creating the first global set of temperature proxies?a set of 80 different records from around the world that recorded temperatures from roughly 20,000 years ago to 10,000 years ago. Ranging from the magnesium levels in microscopic seashells pulled from ocean sediment cores to pollen counts in layers of muck from lakebeds, the proxies delivered thousands of temperature readings over the period. "Ice cores only tell you about temperatures in Antarctica," Shakun notes of previous studies that relied exclusively on an ice core from Antarctica that records atmospheric conditions over the last 800,000 years. "You don't want to look at one spot on the map for global warming."

Comparing the global set of temperature records with the levels of CO2 in the ancient air bubbles trapped in ice cores reveals that global average temperatures started to rise at least a century after CO2 levels began to creep up. That's the reverse of what seems to have happened in Antarctica, where warming temperatures precede rising CO2 levels. But that local warming may be explained by this shutdown of ocean currents as a result of massive glacial melt in the Northern Hemisphere?a result further reinforced by computer modeling using the data gathered from the real-world record.

The reason for the retreat of the ice sheets remains elusive, however. Whereas there was a change in the relative strength of the sun roughly 20,000 years ago thanks to variations in the planet's orbit, it was smaller than changes that preceded it and failed to trigger a melt. In fact, ice cores from Greenland suggest there was an even larger warming event in the north roughly 60,000 years ago, notes climate scientist Eric Wolff of the British Antarctic Survey in a comment on the findings also published in Nature.
