The Gateway is a monthly feature show that profiles the global hubs that keep goods and people moving. This month, the show visits the English Channel and looks at the technology that keeps marine traffic flowing smoothly on the world's busiest shipping lane.
(CNN) -- Every day, more than 500 ships from all corners of the globe set out to navigate the bustling waters of the English Channel.
Huge merchant vessels carrying every category of cargo imaginable -- from iron ore to wheat, and from crude oil to sugar -- sail amongst fishing vessels, passenger ferries, pleasure craft and more unorthodox traffic such as swimmers.
Keeping this narrow body of water that separates England and France clear is vital for a wide range of economic as well as recreational travel purposes.

But as passenger and cargo vessels become longer, wider and more frequent, ensuring a smooth passageway in a straight just 34 kilometers (21 miles) across at its shortest navigable point has come to represent a considerable logistical challenge.
"It is the busiest shipping lane in the world," explained senior watch manager of the Dover coastguard, Tony Evans." And this is not including small pleasure craft (and) motorboats."
"Today we have 12 attempts at swimming the Channel. Obviously that has some bearing on the traffic in the fact that vessels may need to take action to avoid them," he added.
Sailing safe seas
Given the waterway's strategic importance, it is perhaps little surprise that the English Channel has long been at the vanguard of maritime planning and safety.
The world's first sea-traffic separation scheme was set up here in 1972 creating two lanes of traffic that ships must follow to avoid collisions.
Vessels traveling north have to use the French side, whilst the English lane is used for those traveling south. The basic premise of this system still exists today.

Further lanes that dictate the flow of traffic from east and west -- east towards the North Sea and ports in Northern Europe and west towards the Atlantic Ocean -- have also been formed on both the English and French sides of the Channel (see traffic movement in video below).
Today these routes are regularly plied by some of the biggest cargo ships on earth, including the recently launched Maersk Triple E which at 400 meters long is the world's largest operational vessel.
Coastguard duties
According to Kaimes Beasley of the Dover based Channel Navigation Information Service, such high-value ships passing through the Channel mean coastguards in both England and France must be more organized and vigilant than ever before.
"The nature of the vessel traffic over the years has become significantly larger," Beasley explained.
"The navigational challenges remain the same, (in terms of topography, sandbanks and congestion). It is the job of the officers on watch of the vessels to make sure they navigate safely."

To help with their daily duties, officers can call on a range of state-of-the-art tools to help direct and monitor maritime traffic.
Detailed radar screens provide a real-time snapshot of all ships on the channel at any given moment.
Automated Identification Systems (AIS) meanwhile present information on the larger vessels in the area, such as their size, name, course, destination and traveling speed.
All vessels that weigh over 300 tons are automatically tracked by satellite.
A captain's view
For those at sea, these hi-tech systems and services offer valuable guidance as well as reassurance.
Many ships have similar access to AIS systems ensuring they are aware of what is around them at all times.
"The ships have got much larger and therefore ... the technology has had to increase to match it," explained David Miller, senior captain of the Spirit of Britain passenger ferry.
"The basic concept of seamanship has been replaced by integrated electronic systems," he added.
Silk Road railways link Asia and Europe
But while such advanced technology has been a welcome development, Miller also points out the fundamental rules that govern movement on the Channel remain the same.
"The rules of the road are there for us all to obey them and if there is a risk of a collision we will follow (them)," Miller said.
"As long as everybody observes (these) rules then there's room for us all."

I'll soon be driving cross-country in an Audi R8 convertible which, while glamorous, has a tiny trunk up front (a frunk). This presents a challenge a lot of people have: How to fit a vacation's worth of necessities in one bag? Here's how I do it.
Everyone's definition of "necessities" is somewhat different. If you're Bear Grylls you just need a knife, some water, and a jar to collect your own urine. I am not Bear Grylls, but I've managed to refine down what I need for more than a week to just one soft carry-on bag.
I've annotated on this image all the stuff I need and have explained why. I can't even fit a backpack, so this isn't "one carry-on item plus a personal item" as most airlines will let you bring. This is just one bag for everything.
As you can see below, it all fits (and I forgot to take a pic of my extra pair of shoes, which are in the bag). A lot of the stuff I buy is Eagle Creek because it tends to hold up extremely well, but there are plenty of other companies that make soft cubes.
Soft containers are great because you can squeeze them into almost any overhead compartment, even on small planes.
Any questions? How do you pack?

You've probably seen the adverts on television and in magazines for Estee Lauder's new Idealist range, consisting of the Even Skintone Illuminator Serum and the Idealist Cooling Eye Illuminator.. These products are devised to brighten and even out your skintone regardless of what colour you are.
First up for review is the Cooling Eye Illuminator – I've seen a lot of Asian beauty gurus on YouTube recommending this already:
What do you want to know? Well, this tube has a ceramic tip applicator which is used to massage the product into your eyes. It is instantly cooling (it really is!) and refreshing. It reduces the appearance of dark circles, fine lines and puffiness. It comes in two shades, Light/Medium and Medium/Deep. Can one product really do it all? Hmm….
First off, let's look at the ceramic tip. This is not completely unique in terms of shape, I do have other eye products from Asia that follow this type of applicator but they are NOT ceramic. This applicator is brilliant – it really is cold, all the time, it doesn't suddenly get warm if you hold it against your skin for a while, and it's a lot more hygienic than a metal roller ball.
I was sent the Medium/Deep shade to try – unfortunately it's a tad dark for my liking, as you can see in the photo, it's a soft coppery shade. Don't get me wrong – you will see it still works beautifully but it's not 'ideal' in that I think the 'light/medium' would lift my eye area more.
For reference I am about a NC35 in MAC foundation so if you are about there, I recommend you go for the lighter shade in this product:
So the cream has a pearl running through it, and it looks like a highlighter, but once it is on the skin, it is not garish in any shape or form.
Also the cream has a really nice, light texture which feels just lovely and sinks in quickly.
Because there is some pigment there, does that mean you can avoid under eye concealer? Well I think it totally depends – someone with little dark circles will find this brightens enough, someone with medium to darker circles may want to use their normal concealer on top. This is not supposed to be a concealer, mind you, but it does help make the whole area look radiant.
Excuse the messy hair – here I am applying it:
To use:
First squeeze tube to release a dot-sized amount – I dotted a few drops around my under eye. I then massaged the cool ceramic tip under the eye from the inner corner to the outer corner. You can swipe it upwards if you like! You can pat it until it is absorbed – I didn't need to. Wipe the ceramic tip.
I am really happy with this product – I mean, the shade I got was too dark but I still think it made my eye area feel less puffy, cooler, brighter and hydrated. At the weekend I'd be happy to just use this to save myself time.
On my eye – bear in mind with shade light/medium it would be even brighter:
I really love this product! It's relaxing and quick to use – at some point I will go and buy the lighter shade because I do think it'll look even better than this one. It also works well as a eye cream in terms of hydrating and reducing dark circles. Any negatives? Well, it's not cheap and perhaps ladies who want a hardcore anti-wrinkle eye cream will want to go for a product that specifically targets that rather than the dark circles.
This costs £40 for 15ml. You can buy it here.

FlexSqueeze Latest Update Absolutely Rocks
I've been waiting for this update for quite awhile now so you can imagine how exited I was to receive an email saying it was available to download. Man, I doubt that anyone has ever seen me move so fast Yes, this blog is now running on the latest FlexSqueeze and I must say that the improvements Ryan's made has made it even easier to customize than before.
He's even added a few things that were missing in the last version, mainly drop down menus and you now can have multiple squeeze pages on the same blog, one of the suggestions that I think I may have made on his forum.
Seeing as how there are so many changes, more than I could possibly include in this post without boring the crap out of you, I thought I would put together a little video using my Total Screen Recorder Gold. The video will highlight some of the main changes and will also show you how easy it is to customize your blog.
I have to admit that after installing the latest update I found that the color picker wasn't working. I immediately went onto Ryan's forum, yes he does give support, and after giving him access to my admin area he found out it was conflicting with one of my plugins, Digiprove, which I spoke about in the post telling you how all my posts were copyright protected. Once he tracked down the problem he had a solution for me that very night.
Now I know some of you are thinking that you're not ready to pay for a theme and that you're happy with the free theme you're currently using. That's fine but I ask you, how much money is you free theme making for you? Not a cent right? Well apart from the fact that this is probably the easiest most versatile WordPress theme you will ever come across, being a FlexSqueeze Theme owner will make you money. I got my money back within the first two months and since then it's all profit. I can honestly say that it is my best affiliate to date as well as being the most reliable performer.
Imagine, you will finally have something that you can promote and sell on your blog, and unlike all those bloggers who are promoting a theme they're not even using, you will be promoting one that you use and others seeing how excited you are about your theme will be more likely to buy it.
Note: After viewing the YouTube video I was shocked to see the poor quality of the reproduction.They've obviously downgraded the quality as when looking at it on my computer it was perfect.
Edit:Since this post there has been another update. You can check out some of the unique features at this post.Copyright secured by Digiprove © 2010

Advancing the State of the Practice
Geosyntec's practitioners are pioneers in site assessment and remediation. Our senior practitioners have developed and authored guidance material and courses for local, state, and national agencies and associations on remediation techniques and technologies. Working with the Interstate Technical Regulatory Council (ITRC), Geosyntec practitioners taught a training course on vapor intrusion, including mitigation options for the development of vapor-impacted brownfield sites. Geosyntec practitioners also wrote the guidance document on evaluating, optimizing, or ending post-closure care at impacted sites, including brownfield sites, and developed a patented approach for sub-slab vapor migration mitigation allowing residential, commercial, and industrial development on sites impacted by vapor intrusion.
Our specialists routinely collaborate with prominent national researchers from academia and government agencies to provide innovative and defensible strategies for sites with contaminated sediments. For example, we collaborated with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to remediate chlorinated solvent-contaminated marsh sediments by applying a bioreactive mat system embedded with a dehalogenating microbial consortium, a technology that Geosyntec helped develop. This project and partnership earned our client recognition as a finalist for the Service to America Medal awarded by the Partnership for Public Service.
Through a collaborative research project with the University of Florida, Geosyntec professionals assisted in the development of the FLUCL software package for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. This software is used to calculate exposure point concentration statistics in risk assessment and was the first of its kind to contain algorithms for censored datasets. FLUCL has received endorsements from several U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regions and the California EPA.
Geosyntec scientists also pioneered the use of genetic molecular tools for the characterization of the microbes in environmental media and are engaged in applied research and development with top academic institutions around the world, including the University of Toronto, Cornell University, and the Georgia Institute of Technology.


text: PROBLEM: Aspen Pipeline, a natural gas company located in Andrews, Texas, had a dilemma on their hands. The traditional maintenance coatings they were using would not adhere to Teflon bolts and the engineer on the project could not use substitute bolts made of another material. Their industrial MRO distributor sales representative had to find a coating system that would adhere well to the Teflon bolts and provide superior corrosion protection for the entire facility. SOLUTION: After hearing of the successes using Rust-Oleum's Pegalink Acrylic Primer over difficult to bond surfaces, Pegalink was recommended along with a topcoat of Rust-Oleum's 9800 System DTM Urethane Mastic. Pegalink is a water-based primer that provides superior adhesion to steel, PVC, aluminum, plastic and metal. The 9800 System covers in one coat and results in an extremely durable finish with superior corrosion, color and gloss retention. Aspen Pipeline was pleased to find a coating system that met their needs. The application was necessary to help the company stay within their specifications. Other facilities are now using this system as their solution to painting natural gas transfer stations with a coating that is durable, aesthetic and long-lasting.

Shrek, with its snarkiness and insider movie references, would seem one of the least likely cartoons to succeed as a musical. It turns out that, treated with a light touch and fresh music, it makes a satisfying one.
Shrek, with its snarkiness and insider movie references, would seem one of the least likely cartoons to succeed as a musical.
It turns out that, treated with a light touch and fresh music, it makes a satisfying one.
Columbus Children�s Theatre�s lavish and lively production of Shrek: The Musical makes the most of a large cast of talented children and adults to bring out the sweet side of the material.
This Shrek, with a book and lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire and music by Jeanine Tesori, has enough fleeting, silly jokes to keep children and their parents entertained, and it also pays attention to the characters� longings and struggles.
The plot follows misunderstood ogre Shrek (Tim Browning), dispatched by scheming Lord Farquaad (Ryan Kay) to rescue feisty Princess Fiona (Alexa Rybinski), who has some secrets of her own. Along the way, he picks up mouthy Donkey (LaRon Lee Hudson) as a sidekick and meets a large assortment of fairy-tale characters.
Director William Goldsmith brings understanding to all the characters and tones down potentially harsher
Browning is a relaxed and restrained Shrek, comfortable in his own green skin; Rybinski, a comically energetic and big-voiced Fiona, fairly bursting out of hers. Kay brings out the childish narcissism in Farquaad, to good effect, and Hudson has slick comic timing as Donkey.
Among the many other characters, Olivia Weiss makes an enthusiastic Pinocchio; and Jessica Rigsby, wielding a puppet, is an amusing Gingerbread Man.
Younger members of the audience at Thursday�s premiere were delighted by a song in which Shrek and Fiona compete to see who can break wind and belch the loudest; parents might be less delighted.
Dionysia Williams� sparkling choreography, and Angela Barch and Patty Bennett�s varied and appropriate costumes, suit the playful abandon of the show, and musical numbers are ably supported by an 11-piece orchestra led by Jeff Hamm. Carla Chaffin�s large-scale set design suits the space of the Lincoln Theatre, with her tower for Fiona especially elegant.
The musical is suitable for anyone old enough to enjoy the movie, although at more than 21/2 hours, it might strain attention spans.
The production treats children as its primary audience while allowing adults to share the fun.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's BrokerCheck is full of holes and deletes crucial information about brokers' backgrounds — including criminal records — despite the fact that such information is available from many state securities agencies operating under robust public records laws, according to a report released Thursday by the Public Investors Arbitration Bar Association (PIABA).
PIABA, a group of attorneys who represent investors in claims against brokers, states in its report that the extent of omitted "red flag" background information in BrokerCheck is "so serious that unwitting investors relying on the online database may very well select brokers with whom they would not do business if they had access to the more complete picture available to FINRA but now being hidden."
PIABA argues that FINRA maintains the Central Registration Depository (CRD) database — a comprehensive database of broker information — on its behalf and on behalf of state securities agencies, which means that BrokerCheck and the states draw on the same pool of information. "FINRA promotes BrokerCheck as a major resource for investors. States also make available information from CRD records, but have not generally invested the same kind of time and effort in publicizing the availability of the often more complete information," the report states.
PIABA calls on FINRA to ensure that BrokerCheck disclosures "be made consistent with the more complete reporting provided by state securities agencies."
Jason Doss, PIABA's president, said in releasing the report that "all investors should be able to obtain complete and consistent information about brokers. Period."
"The quality of the disclosure you get about brokers should not depend on which state you live in. There is no rational basis for FINRA to hide key 'red flag' information that investors in some states can get from state-level agencies."
Doss added that given that FINRA "has failed repeatedly to take action to increase the disclosures in BrokerCheck, Congress and the SEC need to compel them to do so if necessary."
But FINRA responded in a statement that "while the [BrokerCheck] system may not be perfect, we do have to make determinations on what information about registered representatives is appropriate to release, while at the same time balancing fairness rather than ignoring it."
In fact, said FINRA, "more than 75% of state securities regulators refer investors to BrokerCheck from their websites. FINRA has committed considerable resources and made significant enhancements to BrokerCheck, particularly over the last five years, to create a more user-friendly interface that allows investors to quickly access and intuitively understand the professional background of investment professionals."
FINRA went on to say in its statement that "just as BrokerCheck provides information not available from state securities regulators, state securities regulators provide some information that is not available through BrokerCheck."
As part of its analysis, PIABA compared FINRA BrokerCheck and state-level disclosures for a number of brokers. PIABA found the following:
When a broker-dealer fired a registered broker, BrokerCheck reports excluded the reason for the termination and other commentary regarding the termination, although this information is available from states.
Information about whether a broker was ever under internal review "for fraud or wrongful taking of property, or violating investment-related statutes, regulations, rules or industry standards of conduct" is not reported by BrokerCheck, but is disclosed by states.
A personal bankruptcy filed by a broker is not reported by BrokerCheck, but is revealed in state reports.
A federal tax lien filed against a broker in excess of $100,000 is not disclosed by BrokerCheck, but is disclosed in state reports.
Information about failed tests for industry qualification exams is not disclosed through BrokerCheck, which does not reveal the scores achieved and the number of times a broker failed such tests. It only shows which exams were passed but not the score or how many times a broker may have failed before finally passing. State reports do include this more detailed information.
But FINRA argues that PIABA's study information is incorrect, first by stating that FINRA makes "only a small portion" of the information contained in CRD available through BrokerCheck. In support of this "flawed premise," FINRA says the PIABA also includes flawed data about four categories of information included in a CRD snapshot that are "allegedly not provided" on BrokerCheck.
When a broker resigns, or is fired or permitted to resign, after allegations of violation of investment-related laws or rules, fraud or wrongful taking of property, or failure to supervise, both the termination of employment and the allegations of misconduct are reported on BrokerCheck. "Other reasons for termination, which do not implicate investor protection issues, are not reported. Nonetheless, PIABA mistakenly contends that BrokerCheck always excludes reasons for termination."
FINRA also argues that BrokerCheck currently excludes bankruptcies more than 10 years old, and judgments or liens that have been satisfied, consistent with the SEC and state approved uniform registration forms.
As to exam scores, BrokerCheck provides information regarding the name and date of all qualifying examinations that the broker has passed, FINRA states. "BrokerCheck does not provide test scores or information regarding failed exams.Though PIABA offers no evidence to support a correlation between test scores and broker competence, the authors argue that if an investor decides the information is important, they should be permitted to see it."
When a broker is the subject of an internal review by a former employer, disclosure information regarding that matter is not provided on BrokerCheck, FINRA says. However, "the events related to the internal investigation may be reported under sections of the uniform registration forms for disclosure of employment termination, regulatory action, customer complaints, arbitration or civil litigation."

Is there any vehicle that screams, "The only thing that makes my penis look impressive is my driving skill," more than a bright green Lamborghini Gallardo? If this video of a pack of overcompensating owners street racing on an open highway is evidence, then the answer is, "no."
Wait, why's that one going backwards?
An unidentified driver and his or her "crew" or Lamborghini-driving pals were speeding through what appears to be China when two bulls got a little too close overtaking. There was plenty of rooms for both cars, but the driver of the green Gallardo overreacted and ended up colliding with the wall (and possibly more).
It's the inevitable result of exotic street racing, particularly in China, where drivers reach new heights in public endangerment.
"If you have $200k to spend on a car, you have $3,000 to go to race school and $1,200 to go to stunt-driving school. Its well worth it," said Drake Kemper over at Luxury4Play, where the clip was originally posted.
Certainly cheaper than replacing a big chunk of a Gallardo.
(Hat tip to Robb!)

Excellent news: 18th January Obama rejected TransCanada's application for the Keystone XL pipeline (for connecting the Alberta Tar Sands with the Mexican Gulf for export of tar sands fuel worldwide including to UK and the EU). But the US State Department said this does not preclude a re-application with a different route (to avoid the Ogallala aquifer). Obama stated that "The rushed and arbitrary deadline insisted on by Congressional Republicans prevented a full assessment of the pipeline's impact, especially the health and safety of the American people, as well as our environment". TransCanada announced they will re-apply. Let's hope we don't get a Republican President elected in November – as their climate denying or sceptic candidates support the KXL and most Republican Congressmen have been 'bought' by Big Oil such as by the infamous Koch Brothers (Tea Party funders & founders). Assessment by The UK Tar Sands Network.
Also – Canadian First Nations are making an effective united stand against the proposed pipeline from the Tar Sands towards the Pacific (and thus China).
The FQD: EU member states are meeting on 23rd February towards a vote on the Fuel Quality Directive (FQD) – legislation that would strongly discourage tar sands fuel from entering the UK and EU. I say 'towards' – as we are unclear whether the vote might again be delayed – not just by Norman Baker's alternative methodology – but now by another alternative proposal – this time by the Netherlands (home of Royal Dutch Shell) – as another spanner in the works to derail the FQD.
More good news: Tim Farron has met Simon Hughes (former LibDem shadow for Env & CC) on the FQD and tar sands and has decided "to bid for a question to the Secretary of State on this issue at the next session of Energy and Climate Change questions in the House of Commons" and discuss it with Norman Baker. Unfortunately I have learnt that many LibDem MPs and the GreenLibDem tweeter still find it hard to believe that Norman Baker could work to scupper the FQD. I will now have to try and persuade the GreenLibDems that his actions threaten the FQD – at least by unacceptable delay, and in December I wrote a critical assessment of Norman Baker's statements which has been emailed to LibDems. We would like the GreenLibDems to support Tim Farron and Chris Davies MEP on this matter.
If you have a spare moment do email Tim Farron that you are very pleased he has decided to pursue this matter (and for signing the moratorium on fracking EDM).
One point I am emphasizing is the urgency for the FQD to be implemented before investment decisions (and pipeline permits) for high-carbon unconventional oil infrastructure are made – which are largely export dependent and thus influence-able by an effective FQD.
A recent new example of this urgency is that "by 2012" the Serbian Government is announcing "corporate players" interested in entering the race to extract shale oil from Serbia. Shale oil life-cycle emissions are 50% higher than for conventional oil according to the EU Commissioner's proposal for the FQD – which Norman Baker is delaying. Also – the extraction process is highly destructive and polluting.

René Follet is one of the most remarkable Belgian comic artists and illustrators. During his long career he has made many comics and illustrations, and he is widely admired among comic artists, although he has remained relatively unknown with the general public.
Born in Brussels, Follet had his first professional assignment at the age of 14, drawing a series of lithographs illustrating Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Treasure Island' for chocolat factory Aiglon. He also contributed illustrations to the scouting magazine Plein Jeu. From 1949, he created illustrations for Spirou using the pseudonym Ref. In the following year, he made his first comics, which were installments in the Spirou series 'Les Belles Histoires de l'Oncle Paul'. In that year, he was also present in Tintin, at first illustrating tales and in 1953 the western story 'Rocky Bill' as well as historical comics scripted by Yves Duval.
Rocky Bill
He focused on illustration work in the following year, working for publishers such as Dupuis, Casterman, Lefrancq and the Dutch magazines Pep and Donald Duck, published by De Geïllustreerde Pers. In 1956 he made another comic story, 'Peggy, petit Oiseau sans Ailes', for La Semaine de Suzette.
1967 marked his return as a comic artist, with the publication of 'Alain Brisant - S.O.S. Bagarreur', a comic scripted by Maurice Tillieux, in Spirou. With Yvan Delporte he created the series about traveling circus company 'Les Zingari' for Le Journal de Mickey in 1970. These stories were reprinted in Spirou in the 1980s. In addition, Follet assisted MiTacq on 'Jacques le Gall' in Pilote and 'Stany Derval' in Spirou, and William Vance on 'Bob Morane' and 'Bruno Brazil' in Tintin.
Les Zingari
In 1974, he created his first continuing series 'Ivan Zourine', about Russia in the early 20th Century, with writer Jacques Stoquart. This series, with scripts by either Stoquart or André-Paul Duchateau, was later continued in Spirou and the Dutch magazine Eppo. Also for Eppo, he created nine adventures of 'Steven Severijn' ('Steve Severin') between 1975 and 1981 (scripts by Delporte, Stoquart and Gerard Soeteman). During the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, Follet provided artwork for a number of short stories, published in Tintin, Spirou, Pep and Eppo.
Ivan Zourine - Testament de Sibérie
In the early 1980s, Follet drew two new stories with the classic Jijé character 'Jean Valhardi', from scripts by Duchateau and Stoquart. He began a fruitful collaboration with Editions Lefrancq as the illustrator of novels in the series 'Bob Morane' (by Henri Vernes) and 'Edmund Bell' (by Jean Flanders).
Steven Severijn
As a comic artist, he turned to making comic adaptations of literature, starting with his 1982 adaptation of 'The Iliad' with Stoquart. Together with Martin Lodewijk, he made four comic adaptations of 'Edmund Bell' stories, starting in 1986, and he cooperated with writer Loup Durand on two comic books based on Durand's novel 'Daddy' in 1990.
Although Follet has mainly been active with doing illustrations for advertisements and non-fiction and fiction books, he made the comic series 'Ikar' with Makyo for Glénat in the mid 1990s. He worked with André-Paul Duchateau on the diptych 'Terreur', about the life of Marie Tussaud, in the Signé collection of Le Lombard in 2002 and 2004. Follet first used the technique of direct colors for this comic, and he used this same style in his following books. These include his Casterman books 'Shelena' (with writer Jéromine Pasteur in 2004) and 'L'étoile du soldat' (with Christophe De Ponfilly in 2007). He worked with Pascal Bresson on 'L'Affaire Dominici' for Glénat in 2010, and then made his debut in Dupuis' Aire Libre collection with his Robert Louis Stevenson biography 'Stevenson, le pirate intérieur' together with Rodolphe in 2013.

text: Men's Lacrosse 3/7/2016 2:20:30 PM Defenseman Brett Hughes Returns to MLL Brett Hughes, who will suit up for his home state's Ohio Machine this season. "It's a huge honor for me to come back full circle to where I started playing lacrosse years ago," Hughes says. "It will be special to play for the Ohio Machine in front of my friends, family and grandparents, especially since I played college lacrosse in Virginia. I think that's one of my favorite things about the sport; the ability to compete in front of my friends and family." Hughes joined MLL in 2005 and has played for the New Jersey Pride, the Los Angeles Riptide and the Denver Outlaws. He enters his sixth season with the league with 49 games under his belt. He is an MLL All-Star and a proven defensive weapon, selected by the Machine in the 10 th round of the 2012 MLL Expansion Draft. "I look at Brett and I see a world-class talent that still feels like he has something to prove. I know he will help the team stay focused on the singular goal of becoming world champions," says Ohio Machine President and General Manger John Algie, who has been vocal about making character a top priority in building his roster. "Off the field, I do not know that you will meet a more genuine person than Brett Hughes. His selfless dedication to helping others is infectious. You talk to him for ten minutes and when you come away you just can't help but root for the guy." The Machine have carefully selected a roster chalk full of character players, veteran leaders, young guns and local flavor that are passionate about propelling the sport in the region. Who better to encompass that than Hughes, who found his love for lacrosse in Upper Arlington? "Growing up in Ohio, the sport was similar to where I am now in California," he says. "Kids are popping up in big time Division I teams, which gives the younger kids a great chance to say 'I can do that.' When I was growing up, we had a few of those guys who started to make lacrosse seem like a realistic dream. Now, it seems like every major lacrosse team has an Ohio kid. So bringing an MLL team to the area was the next logical step." Hughes had a standout career as a defenseman at the University of Virginia where he started in every game from 2001 to 2005, was a two-time All-American and a NCAA National Champion in 2003. A championship wasn't the only thing he matriculated with. Hughes is often known for his refreshing outlook on life and has popularized the phrase "Best day of my life," a philosophy that was planted by UVa Assistant Coach Hannon Wright. "It started almost as a joke at first. No matter how tired I was, or if it was sleeting or raining sideways, he'd always say 'What is today?' I'd laugh and say 'The best day of my life.' I said it so much that it became part of who I was," Hughes says of his personal mantra, which has since evolved into " Another Best Day," an apparel company with a positive world view. This way of thinking eventually led Hughes to find that lacrosse could become more significant than he ever imagined. About five years ago he connected with Brad Corrigan, most famed for helping to form the band Dispatch. Hughes discovered that Corrigan was a former Middlebury Lacrosse player who shared the same values. Before he knew it, the wheels were set in motion for what would become Lacrosse the Nations (LtN), a non-profit organization dedicating to unifying the lacrosse community to sustainably improve education and health while creating hope and opportunity for children in need. "Our connection was instant. I told him my ideas about creating a non-profit using lacrosse as a vehicle to help people in need. He already had a connection to Nicaragua, so it was a natural fit," Hughes remembers. Upon receiving the 501c3 title, dubbing Lacrosse the Nations as a recognized non-profit, the group quickly got to work and laid the foundation for what would eventually encompass five separate programs, both international and domestic. "When it first started, it was a vision of what lacrosse could do," Hughes says. "We wanted it to be a conduit to hearts. Today we have five programs, our board has been growing and the involvement through fundraising has been booming." Hughes says each program is different because no two communities are the same, but Lacrosse the Nations has a strong thumbprint of what they do. "We promote education with a nutrition program if a community is in need, and we tailor what we are as long as the curriculum remains the same." As for the lacrosse, "that's the easy part," he laughs. "Anyone can agree that lacrosse is such a cool sport. Adding that element of the stick and ball is different than anything else; it's intoxicating. So for the kids we work with, it's not so easy that it gets boring, but it's not hard enough that they lose interest. It provides an outlet for them; it's a recess from their daily struggles. The faces of the kids I've gotten to meet are always with me. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about the families and people I've met." Other MLL players have jumped at the opportunity to be involved with Lacrosse the Nations. " Greg Bice is working with a local community in Columbus, Ohio. They had to shorten the program because so many people were going out and playing, then having trouble focusing and not wanting to talk about anything but lacrosse, which probably wasn't too appealing to their teachers, but it's music to my ears," Hughes laughs. Other athletes like Connor Martin, Chazz Woodson, Matt Bocklet, MLL Draftee Chris Bocklet and Max Seibald have been involved whether through traveling to Nicaragua or helping on the fundraising end. "The support from alumni and current players just makes your heart swell." Hughes is continuing his dedication as an evangelist for the sport with a new program called Lacrosse the Pond, a scholarship program designed to allow graduates to continue playing the sport they love while pursuing an advanced degree in the UK. "It's designed for kids who don't have an opportunity to go abroad during college to take a fifth year and play for a team in England." Hughes says lacrosse is seeing tremendous growth in a culture where community sports like rugby and soccer are thriving, though it still has room to grow. Even with his philanthropic efforts and planning his wedding to singer/songwriter/actress Kate Voegele (who will sing the National Anthem on opening day for the Machine), he'll be the first to tell you how much he's looking forward to his return to MLL and to being in a team atmosphere again. "It will be a lot of travel, but I'll love every weekend. It will be fun to be back with my family and to play with former teammates and also guys I've never had the opportunity to play with before. There's a lot to look forward to!"

CU Buffs women golfers tied for fifth in early wave at NCAA Regional
ERIE – As the old saying goes, a golf tournament can't be won in the opening round but it sure can be lost.
That thought was of some consolation Thursday to fourth-seeded Colorado, which let a promising round slip down the stretch but remained in solid position at the NCAA Women's West Regional.
Colorado's top four players combined to go even par on their first nine holes (Nos. 10-18) at Colorado National Golf Club but sputtered to go 9-over-par for their second nine.
The format for college golf prescribes that the top four scores among five players on each team count for the daily team total. Colorado totaled a 9-over 297, tying seventh-seeded Pepperdine and No. 11 seed Tulsa for fifth place among teams in the morning wave.
The top eight finishers among the 24 teams will advance to the NCAA Championship tournament later this month in Franklin, Tenn.
Colorado was boosted by a 1-under-par 71 from its No. 5 player, sophomore Kristin Coleman. The Buffs also counted 3-over 75s from sophomore Alex Stewart and senior Jessica Wallace and a 4-over 76 from senior Emily Talley. Jenny Coleman's 77 was thrown out.
"We had a hard time adjusting to the greens," CU women's coach Anne Kelly said. "They're U.S. Open-type greens. We've never seen them this fast."
Talley, CU's No. 2 player, stood 1-under through 12 holes but played the last six in 4-over. She four-putted her 17th hole (the par-4 No. 8) for double bogey.
"My first four-putt ever," she said.
Third-seeded North Carolina (even-par 288) and top-seeded UCLA (2-over 290) led the morning wave. Denver and Northern Colorado were playing in the afternoon wave.

Declining fluid milk sales, rising milk production and the unstable economic markets are also pressuring dairy prices.
The inevitable happened last week but came sooner than anticipated. Cheese prices fell below $2.00 -– a place where they had not been since early June. It was a surprise that it happened this early in the year and did not wait until after holiday demand was completed.
Milk production suffered in July due to the hot, humid weather in many areas, decreasing manufacturing milk receipts by as much as 10%. Recently, bottling demand has increased and will continue to increase over the next weeks as schools will be back in session and the pipeline needs to be filled. Holiday demand is also right around the corner. It was anticipated this would keep cheese prices, and thus milk prices, strong for some time.
There is anticipation that cheese prices may remain below $2.00 for only a brief period of time. Recent weakness has cheese buyers standing back, waiting to see how low prices will go. Loads are being purchased as prices decline, but sellers remain more aggressive. Why don't sellers hold product with the idea that school milk and holiday demand will continue to support prices?
The daily spot market at the CME Group is typically a market where buyers come if they need cheese or butter and cannot get it from their normal suppliers or in the general marketplace. Sellers will offer it because they have excess and need to offer it to those who are willing to purchase it. There could be other reasons that would have cheese being purchased and sold on the spot market, but it generally is for the reason I have described.
Right now is usually the time of year when buyers are more aggressive and supply is tighter. So far, this has been true, and it is possible the price peak has been realized early. July posted a record Class III price of $21.39, with August to break the record with an anticipated price near $21.50. Feed prices are high, and school and holiday demand is here, so why the weakness?
One reason for weakness is that fluid milk sales continue to decline. USDA's latest report of fluid milk sales indicates June milk sales of all fluid products declined 1.6%. Sales for the first half of the year were also down 1.6%. This is a concern, as fluid milk consumption continues to decline.
Another reason is that milk production continues to increase. USDA's latest Milk Production report, for July, indicated an increase of 0.7 percent for all 50 states. This increase came during a month when hot weather had a significant impact on production. Even though production per cow was down 3 lb. per head from the previous year, cow numbers increased 80,000 head. Cooler weather will bring back milk production to some extent, but it will take replacements and the next lactation to get production really rolling again in many areas of the country.
Western states were the exception this summer. Despite hot weather primarily in Texas, milk output rose steadily. The July Milk Production report showed Arizona up 4.8%, California up 4.4%, Idaho up 4.8%, Washington up 6.6%, and Texas up 8.3%. Texas has been the real surprise, as weather has been hot and dry for much of the year but production has increased consistently. Despite the adverse weather and high feed costs, this state increased milk production 7.7% in January, 8.8% in February, 7.0% in March, 7.2%in April, 8.8% in May, and 10.3% in June.
The instability of financial and economic markets worldwide is definitely having an impact as well. This may cause consumers to change lifestyles and eating habits, resulting in slowing demand for dairy products. August may be the high for the year, with lower milk prices in the offing for the rest of the year. This does not mean prices will be falling dramatically, but lower prices could be with us through the end of the year.
Class III futures contracts for 2012 have been trading sideways to higher over the past few weeks, pushing quite a few contracts above $17.00. This triggers the price for establishing either futures sales or fence positions for price protection. I recommend purchasing $16.75 puts and selling $18.75 calls in all months as a fence position. The cost will be 50 cents. The best-case scenario is that you will be hedged at $18.75 minus the cost of 50 cents if the price increases. The worst-case scenario is a hedge at $16.75 minus the cost if milk prices fall. A double-dip economy is a possibility and could be devastating to milk prices.

Norco Announces 2008 Factory Team
Norco Performance bikes has announced the line up of its team for next year, however, there is one name missing - Catharine Pendrel. Although there has not yet been an official announcement, it appears that she will be going to the Luna Chix team to join Georgia Gould and Katerina Nash.
Norco 2008 sponsored riders:
Norco is super stoked to have most of our heavy hitters back on board for '08 and some for '09 too. Please welcome with me the following talented riders:
Ryan Leech: A rider who really needs no introduction. Trials superstar, absolute ambassador for our sport, as well as Norco, and title spokesperson for his Trials of Life tour. This year, Ryan did over 150 demos all over the world and recently released his new DVD CRUX. He makes it look all too easy! Great to have you aboard again for your 11th year Ryan!
Jay Hoots: Most people are familiar with this dreaded fun loving team rider. Hoot's strengths don't stop with his diverse arsenal of riding skills. His never-ending giggling laugh and enthusiasm to inspire the young rippers as a mentor have driven Jay to become one of the premier authorities on Bike Skills Parks in North America. Don't judge the book by its cover, although Jay's smile and relaxed manner suggest that he takes life pretty easy, this is one rider who is always on the go!
Fionn Griffiths: One of the worlds fastest pro women DH and 4X racers, Fee finished up the season in 10th overall (Pro Women's DH) and is looking at bettering that in 2008. This 2-time World Championship Silver medalist is capable of being on the podium on any given weekend. Based in the UK, but training in Colorado and Australia, we are looking forward to seeing her here in Canada for the 2 World Cups this coming year! Follow Fee down a hill and I guarantee you will be grabbing the brake levers long before she even starts thinking about slowing down.
Ben Boyko: Ben stood at the pinnacle of the freeride world in 2007 with his win at the grand-daddy of all freeriding event, the Whistler Crankworx Slopestyle. This win combined with his major segment in the latest New World Disorder film, plenty of trips and shoots with photographers, his non-stop trail building schedule and finishing 5th overall in the Qashqai series made this Ben's busiest and most successful season yet. Ben has also been spending plenty of time in the Norco office helping to design a new VPS Five slopestyle-specific bike that he hopes to be on as early as Jan '08. Watch for sneak-peak news on that bike soon...
Darcy Turenne: Darcy is another freerider who had a very successful '07 season. This year she signed back on with Norco and settled into a busy schedule of riding and filming as the hostess for the world-televised Ride Guide series.
Although firmly planted with two feet on the Norco Factory Team, she also rides on the Oakley World Team and Dakine. Darcy just returned from a busy fall that included a photo shoot in Hawaii, ride guide filming in Israel, and a training week in Spain. Did you know Darcy actually rode for us a few years ago as a grassroots DH racer? We are excited to welcome her smile back into our family here!
Dylan Korba: We know him as the wildcard that can be played at any stage of the game. Although Dylan is fairly fresh on the scene, he is already an extremely diverse rider with incredible skills and potential. His trials background (yes really!... don't believe me? watch his segment in CRUX!) has given him a unique approach to slopestyle and allowed him to develop fresh, challenging freeride lines. Dylan is equally at home back-flipping his Four-X in the woods, or pulling an Abubuca off a 15' high vertical wall. Watch out for this guy, it's only a matter of time till everyone in the freeride world knows his name.
Mislav Mironovic: The Croatian Sensation as we affectionately call him, or was it the Croatian Dalmatian? (sorry, couldn't pass it up, inside joke) Although you might not know his name, freeriders in Europe sure do!
Mislav's positive and irrepressible enthusiasm for riding, coupled with his amazing abilities on a bike have already earned him a spot as a top freerider in his corner of the world. This fall, Mislav has kept himself busy representing Norco and Red Bull in Europe, taking the top spot in several European freeride competitions and competing in Israel at the Dead Sea Dirt Jump Comp. Now there's a first!

Terapi Nord
Your name and webpage on the inside of the cover!
Psychotherapist with private clinic. I do individual and couples therapy and write self help books on these topics.
I give people tools to move on with their life, to deal with and live with their past, to be in the now and to have hope and joy in their lives.
The book I ned a cover for is a selfhelp book about selfesteem.
Everyone, the book has already been bought by young and old, men and women. I thought it would be mostly women buying it but it is 30% men.
My audience wants to learn more about themselves and be in greater control of their life. They want more happiness and contentment.
I would like a bookcover - the book already has a cover but it is a little bland.
I am considering doing a DVD production about selfesteem as well and want the cover of the book (which might be used for the DVD as well) to signal energy, hope and joy.
On the back I will put text from reviews that states the book is very good and a brief summary of what people can expect from the book.
The book is in Danish - I don't have an english title for it. "Selfesteem for beginners" is the title directly translated. It most be on the "back" of the book, not the backside. Easy to read so when put in a bookshelf the title will be readable. So you have to include the fonts you are using.
I have a file already with the right measurements and the title etc that you can work from, but please feel free to be creative and not think about what the cover looks like now. (Apart from size and the things mentioned here) :)
Please deliver the cover in .pdf and with all fonts included.
