The real question is: does first time author, WM Paul Young's second novel, 'Cross Roads', make the same impact as his debut offering, 'The Shack', or is the 18 million copy 2007 bestselling writer simply a one hit wonder?
'The Shack' with its original and not uncontroversial take on the persons of the Holy Trinity was a runaway book publishing success. Outstripping secular book sales almost entirely by word of mouth advertising, WM Paul Young's book for his children told a story of pain, forgiveness and redemption that millions needed to hear.
In his second novel, Young gives you a different kind of hero to the haunted, tragedy smitten Mack of 'The Shack'. From the outset, millionaire business man Anthony (Tony) Spencer is painted as not only unlovable, but deservedly unloved. He's single minded and unbelievably cruel; even marrying the same woman twice simply to make divorcing her more ruinous and painful.
Like Mack, Young brings his new antihero to a life and death crisis. Emotionally invulnerable, Tony still has that inescapable human weakness: he is mortal. But Young doesn't have him die. Instead the author introduces a character who saves not only his life, but starts a chain of events that will confront the comatose Tony with the stark reality of his past and a choice that will dictate his eternal future.
As with 'The Shack', the key themes are in the encounter between Young's central character and the Trinity. Young is equally daring with his personifications of divine nature with God depicted as an aged and benevolent grandmother. In the spiritual realm of his soul, Tony explores his past behaviour and the motivation behind his incomprehensibly wicked actions.
In the conversations between Tony, the Trinity and other inhabitants of his devastated spiritual terrain Young reveals his own theology; much of it centred on themes of forgiveness, redemption and restoration. There's not much here that's new to anyone who's already experienced the grace of God; but to the new to faith, or those spiritually crippled by dogma and doctrine, this is refreshingly liberating stuff.
Young takes his successful Shack formula a stage further; weaving into this spiritual encounter a 'real world' narrative where Tony literally views the world through the eyes of the other players in the drama. Tony's consciousness passes from one participant to another through the vector of a kiss. Inside the mind of each individual, he is able to feel what they feel and communicate with them. It sounds like scary stuff and more than a bit weird. But this is a novel, not a work of theology.
It's the theology that got Young into trouble over his first novel. In 'Cross Roads', what he says about faith and religion feels a bit more 'bolt on' than 'built in'. There are a couple of almost rants against the misinterpretation (as Young sees it) of scripture which, though interesting as asides seem almost, irrelevant to story and plot.
Young populates the landscape of Tony's barren soul with creatures and characters representing the guilt and fear that dominate Tony's troubled inner being. At its best, this parable reads like a modern Pilgrim's Progress. At its worst it reads more like something from Alice in Wonderland. Even so, it's a brave use of literary device that Young might exploit further in a future novel.
The final crisis for Tony comes after his understanding has been radically altered by his encounter with the divine and the human. Empowered to perform one miracle, he has the chance to save or sacrifice himself. The conclusion is rather drawn out, there are lots of narrative threads that need tying off, and Young prepares you with a great deal of ER style hospital detail. And yes, it is emotional; if you liked 'The Shack' you will like this.
'Cross Roads' is Young's latest contribution to a growing genre of Christian fiction in which one or more of the persons of the Trinity turn up in person. More advanced in its narrative than David Gregory's 'Dinner With A Perfect Stranger', it's much more complex than the more direct style of William Sirls 'The Reason'.
The most developed novel on the 'God turns up' theme is Michael Neale's 'The River'. Here the divine nature doesn't just appear in the landscape of the story, it is the landscape. With all the imagery of JRR Tolkein, this is a new kind of Christian fiction where God might not be named, but is always and unmistakably present. Between them, 'Cross Roads', 'The Reason' and 'The River' give you three different, but equally creative routes to exploring the nature of the divine through the medium of Christian, faith motivated fiction.

Southwest Minnesota State pushes past Concordia-St. Paul for 3-2 win
ST. PAUL, Minn. --No. 2-seeded Southwest Minnesota State captured the program's first-ever Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Tournament championship on Sunday, defeating top-seeded Concordia-St. Paul 3-2.
SMSU won by scores of 25-19, 25-20, 12-21, 21-25 and 15-10 and received the NSIC's automatic bid to the NCAA Central Region Tournament beginning Nov. 29.
It was a balanced attack that led the way for SMSU in earning its first win at Concordia since Sept. 22, 2007. Abby Thissen pounded a team-high 15 kills and hit .393 to lead the Mustangs, while Brooke Burmeister added 14 kills and 13 digs. Mary Groth added 13 kills and hit .357, while McKell Anderson and Devin Diedrich each chipped in with 12 kills.
Emilee Gutzmer recorded 48 assists and 16 digs for the Mustangs, while Rachel Westby racked up a team-high 24 digs.
SMSU finished the match hitting .251 with nine team blocks.
Emily Duffy finished with a match-high 19 kills to lead the Golden Bears.
In the deciding fifth set, SMSU took an early 5-3 lead following back-to-back errors by CU, highlighted by a block by SMSU's Gutzmer. Following a kill by CU, SMSU answered with five consecutive points with Burmeister and Thissen each recording two kills during the run.
CU trimmed the lead to 11-7 later in the set, forcing an SMSU timeout, but the Mustangs held off the late Golden Bear run and closed out the victory with a kill from Burmeister.

Effects of a Dietary Chitosan-Alginate-Fe(II) Complex on Meat Quality of Pig Longissimus Muscle during Ageing

Title & Authors
Effects of a Dietary Chitosan-Alginate-Fe(II) Complex on Meat Quality of Pig Longissimus Muscle during Ageing
Park, B.Y.; Kim, J.H.; Cho, S.H.; Hwang, I.H.; Jung, O.S.; Kim, Y.K.; Lee, J.M.; Yun, S.G.;
The current study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary chitosan-alginate-Fe(II) complex (CAFC) supplementation on carcass and meat qualities of pig m. longissimus during chiller ageing. One hundred and twenty-two LYD (Landrace
Duroc) pigs were sampled from an industrial population. Seventy-four pigs (32 gilts and 42 barrows) were administered 3 ml of dietary supplementation of CAFC per day from 25 to 70 days of age, while the remaining 48 pigs (20 gilts and 28 barrows) were fed the same commercial feeding regime without the supplementation. For assessing the dietary effects on pH, objective meat color, cooking loss, water-holding capacity (WHC), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) and fatty acid composition during ageing, 20 barrows (10 of each treatment) were randomly sampled, and aged for 3, 7, 12, 16, 20 and 25 days in a
chiller. The results showed that CAFC-fed pigs required approximately 10 fewer feeding days than the control group. Furthermore, the treatment resulted in greatly higher carcass grade whereby the grade A was increased by approximately 35% and 7% for gilts and barrows, respectively. The treatment had no significant effect (p>0.05) on pH, meat color and WHC during ageing. On the other hand, the CAFC-fed pigs showed significantly (p<0.05) lower TBARS values from 20 days of storage. In addition, the sum of unsaturated fatty acids for the treated group was significantly (p<0.05) higher than that for the control group after the storage time. This implied that CAFC supplementation could reduce the formation of free radicals in fatty acids (i.e., lipid oxidation). The treatment also significantly (p<0.05) retarded VBN formation during ageing, indicating a significant reduction in protein degradation. However, as there was no difference in pH between the two groups, the result raised a possibility that antibacterial activity of the CAFC alone could cause reduction in the formation of TBARS and VBN. In this regard, although the treatment effectively slowed down the formation of TBARS and TBA during chiller ageing, it was not resolved whether that was associated with the direct effect of the antioxidant function of chitosan and/or alginate, or a consequence of their antibacterial functions.

1995 Rover - Austin 400 414 Si 1.4 i
Rovers are good cars, if well maintained
My head gasket blew at 55,000 km.
My brake discs had to be replaced at 70000 km.
The air conditioned doesn't work... The gas goes somewhere. Have to find the leak.
The car was totally abandoned by previous owner, and seems that dogs had slept inside of it... The interior was full washed several times to reach its brightness.
The varnish is getting out, because it seems that the previous owner had the idea that not washing the car keeps it OK...
Some plastics lost its colour due to intense sunlight exposure.
General Comments:
The car is very comfortable. I can do hundreds of km without stopping.
The engine is very nice. After being in the right temperature, revving it to 4000-5000 rpm is a pleasure. However, you can use it from 2000 up, and it has enough torque.
Doesn't handles like a sports car, but it is nice to use it in any road. Engine response doesn't get you embarrassed in any way.
Immobilizer/alarm is very good, for a 14 year old car.
Electric sunroof is nice in winter.
Its exterior lines are beautiful, even after 14 years passed from its release (but that's just my opinion).
How much you spend in petrol depends on your driving. I can do from 6l/100km to 10l/100km. The more you rev, the more you pay. However, it is not difficult to make 7l/100km.
Brakes could be better, but if you change the disks to vented ones, it brakes better.
Interiors are nice, but driver seat could go lower than it does.
It is a good car, sometimes unfairly underrated.
Its engine is a bit sensible, mostly when driven cold. Be sure to warm it properly before revving it up. Avoid more than 3000rpm before it is in good temp.
Keep an eye in fluid levels and check water and oil at least once a week.
If you experience head gasket failure, find someone who do the job well done and change all kit: Gaskets and head bolts.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
Review Date: 17th August, 2009

Summer bag.
My knitting guru, Jenn, knit the cutest bag last summer. Yup, last summer. She planned to line it but wasn't sure she could/would, so I happily offered. She handed it over at the end of the summer with some cute fabric. She also tucked in a skein of Shelter as payment--which she shouldn't have. No really. She shouldn't have...read on!
Because then fall and winter came along and there was "no rush" as it's such a seasonal bag. But I finally got it lined in spring. But then! Then a whole bunch of strange scheduling snafus prevented a handoff of her bag. And suddenly (well, it felt like suddenly) it was summer and she was still without her bag. I think she might have suspected some ownership via possession was afoot.
But we finally met up at an impromptu knit night and I am happy to report, the bag is with its creator. Lined--with pockets and a key fob--and everything.
Enjoy Jenn!

Wolf top dog in BBC Countryfile reintroduction poll
Wolves have been leading an online poll of animals people would like to see re-introduced to the British countryside.
European lynx and beavers have been joint second in the survey run by the BBC's Countryfile Magazine. Fewer votes have favoured bears and wild boar
The magazine launched the poll following its interview with Highland landowner Paul Lister.
Mr Lister has a long-term plan to release wolves and bears on his Alladale Estate in Sutherland.
More than 400 votes have been cast so far in the online poll.
Elk and wild boar were introduced on a trial basis to the 23,000-acre Alladale Estate in the past, but Highland cattle are the biggest animals to be found there today.
Mr Lister's proposals to bring in wolves and bears have drawn criticism.
Farmers, walkers and legal experts have all expressed their opposition to the scheme.
Last December, wolves featured on a list of Scottish wildlife that people have concerns about in terms of conservation.
The wolf was hunted to extinction in Scotland in the 1700s with some of the last killed in Sutherland and Moray.
But a small number of respondents to the Scottish Nature Omnibus Survey mentioned the mammal when asked what wildlife they were most worried about.
Deer, red squirrel and Scottish wildcat topped the list.
Commissioned by Scottish Natural Heritage, the survey is held on a regular basis to gauge public awareness of Scotland's natural world, and the efforts to protect and manage it.
Wolves have featured in the survey since 2011. Just 1% of respondents mentioned the predator in the latest survey.
However, people did rate it ahead of creatures that do inhabit Scotland and have conservation issues, such as puffins, voles, red kites and ptarmigan.

There were nine cows caught, with the largest an ineligible 291-pounder. In an impressive display of memory, skipper Rose recalled the name of each angler who got a cow, along with the weight of the fish, as all were weighed on the boat.
That largest tuna was taken by first-timer George Iwata of Montebello, on a sardine (skipper Rose said all the fish but one came on dines) on a 6/0 ringed Super Mutu hook tied to 130-pound Izorline and 130-pound Izor Spectra backing on an Accurate 50 reel and a new Seeker 2 x 4 rod.
This fish fought hard for over an hour and Iwata needed some help, so his catch didnt count in the jackpot.
It was fantastic, said George. We got a lot of fish. Ill be back again next year.
Neal Campbell of Fallbrook won first place for his 262-pound yellowfin, caught on a sardine and a 7/0 ringed Super Mutu hook. He said he fished with 130-pound Blackwater fluorocarbon and 130-pound Line One Spectra on a Penn 50 S reel modified by Cal Sheets, on a Calstar 760 H rod.
Ken Kuchi of Huntington Beach won second place for his 240.3-pound tuna. It ate a sardine on a 6/0 ringed Super Mutu tied to 130-pound Izorline fluorocarbon and 130-pound Izor Spectra backing on a Sheets-treated Penn 50 reel and a Calstar 6465 XXH rod. The fish fought for an hour.
Bob Ramirez, an RP regular, got three cows at 240.1 (that one won him third place), 213 and 201 pounds. He said he fished sardines on 6/0 ringed Super Mutus, on 130-pound Seaguar fluorocarbon and 130-pound Line One Spectra. He used a Penn 50 reel revamped by Sheets and a Calstar 770 H rod.
That rod helped a lot at the end of the fight, he told Bill Roecker. The tip just keeps bringing em up.
Garry Cotter of Santa Barbara got a 223-pound tuna with a Salas PL 68 jig.
It was about 4:30 in the morning, he said. It was dark, and he grabbed it one crank off the bottom. I fought him for 30 minutes. He came up close to the boat and then took off again. He broke one of the first two gaffs. One floated off and was recovered, then he was re-gaffed with two more.
Cotter said he used 130-pound Izorline and 130-pound Line One Spectra on a Sheets-treated Penn 50 T reel with a high speed gear and a Calstar 7656 H rod.
Valeen Garrison of San Jose took a 213-pounder with a sardine on a 6/0 ringed Super Mutu on 130-pound Blackwater fluorocarbon and 130-pound Line One Spectra. She used an Avet 50 reel and a Calstar 760 H rod.
Hank Hamada, a restaurant owner from Anaheim Hills, bagged a 210-pounder in 45 minutes after the fish ate his sardine on a 6/0 ringed Super Mutu on 130-pound Blackwater fluorocarbon and 130-pound Line One Spectra. He fished with an Accurate 50 reel and a Calstar 760 H rod.
Royal Polaris was the last boat in port before the holidays. Watch this space for at sea reports. Coming up soon: the latest accounting of cows and super cows.
Dont forget to pick up your 2010 Sportfishing Calendar at your local salt water pro shop, or order some for you and your friends from Bill and Paul at FishingVideos.com! The Christmas Specials will be honored until January 1.

This summer, in a crimson–lined yurt hung with the many faces of the Goddess, eight women created one almighty ritual spell to heal our collective menstrual shame.
From the appearance of our first menstrual blood we are conditioned to feel embarrassed by it. Expected to be discreet, so that no-one will see or smell our blood or guess we are menstruating, we are required to carry on as normal at work or school with no extra rest or support. We carry the burden of our mother-line along with our own, shouldering our mothers', grandmothers' and sisters' menstrual shame. 'Tis a heavy load that we must shed if we are to fly free and help our sisters and daughters to take wing with us.
And so the spell began. Women gathered in a circle hand-in-hand, around a soft linen cloth edged with four braids to represent the four energies held within our menstrual cycle. We shared three breaths together – one for the girls looking forward to menarche, another for women in their bleeding years and a final one for the women who hold their wise blood within. We requested the blessings of our ancestors and the wise grandmothers upon our healing spell work.
Painting a mandala is a sacred piece of magic, steeped in ancient symbolism. It is a powerful force, with no start and no end, no sharp corners and no hierarchy. We set to work painting with iron ochre to represent our monthly blood. Singing joyous songs of celebration of our womanly blood, we painted, beginning with our handprints at the centre of the cloth.
Then for the finishing touches! Each woman mixed a pillule of homeopathic Menses, to represent her own blood, into a jar with some of my menstrual blood. The remedy is made from the menstrual blood of several women and so is symbolic of our collective red thread. The women put the remedy in, speaking their truth with passion for all present to hear. It was an emotional and passionate moment.
I then crouched down at the centre of the soft linen cloth and painted with the blood. I traced over the lines and designs already painted on the cloth, to seal the magic of our spell in. My sisters called out words of honour and power, as I worked, my crown and ears tingling with the energy we were raising. At last I was done and it was time to close. We held hands, sending energy and healing out to the world, like a carefully thrown stone, rippling in an endless pond. We then emerged from the yurt, as a chain of women, into the dappled sunlight under the trees, singing and feeling the warm, firm land under our toes.
My thanks go to Rachael Hertogs for holding the space with me. We held this ritual at 13 Moons Women's Festival on Dartmoor, UK in the Spellbinders Lodge.

Playful Type 2
October 2010 (p.129, 216-219) Gestalten
Ephemeral Lettering and Illustrative Fonts
Playful Type 2 examines how designers are using a variety of techniques to produce typography and lettering in a range of innovative styles. It not only features high-quality type design and diverse applications for original lettering, but also insightful texts and interviews with leading typographers that explore current developments. This book is a timely investigation of how designers are trying to find solutions to counter the fact that more and more messages are being communicated in plain text on digital platforms such as cell phones. It documents the innovative, more personal lettering techniques that today's designers are developing by hand that not only simply present content, but also enrich it creatively.
Why 'Strange Attractors'?
Strange Attractors is the name we came up with while working on our very first projects together. We met in the fall of 2000 in the 2D Design Department of Cranbrook Academy of Art where we both went to obtain our Master's Degrees in Design. Instead of being constant competitors we decided to join our forces and combine our skill sets in order to overcome our egos and create better design. Strange Attractors was the right name for us. 'Strange attractors' is a term used in Chaos Theory describing the mathematic system behind dynamic processes which seem to be completely random. The interesting thing is that these mathematics result in unpredictable outcomes and endless variations of figures (such as fractals), not unlike the outcome of our typographic experiments. Besides the fact that the name suits us, it's important to know that we came up with a third name to state that the work we make is more important than the maker: two heads = better than one!
Cranbrook is an art school that epitomized the postmodern and deconstructivist approach to graphic design in the 1990s. To what extent did the school's philosophy (and ideology?) influence your style and way of working?
Cranbrook has a bit of a stigmatism associated with it, primarily due to the autonomous nature of the graduate school. Progression, quality of work, relevancy of investigation are all ultimately dependent on the student designer; their level of commitment, intelligence, technological prowess, historical insight, and so on. No classes, only critiques. Self-motivated investigations, and results fueled by a bit a social pressure. In the studio everyone was expected to absorb, interpret and produce.
Style is another tool, or maybe a meta tool. Using color, type, composition, et cetera together in slightly different ways (i.e. by choosing a style) you can greatly alter your message and relationship to the audience. Creating communication that is more precise or contains more depth, engaging interpretation... For us, it was about gaining a more intimate relationship with communication, people, culture, through a number of channels. At Cranbrook, we were stimulated to focus on one-to-one making: type, photography, film, sound, spatial and environmental, interactive. We've carried that over into our current practice as designers.
You are both several things at once: typographers, illustrators, type designers, animators, cultural philosophers. Yet you have chosen lettering, and often ornamental lettering, as your primary medium.
Why is that?
We are designers and use words, images and sound. Because as cultural philosophers we strongly believe that every message we deliver has to be unique and specific to its meaning, we often find that plain type that is around won't communicate what we want it to. In those cases we either design new type or customize something to the messages, to our needs. That's when we become illustrators and type designers, organizing the message as typographers, enhancing its meaning as animators, spatial designers, programmers…
You've described your work as being 'seriously playful.' One is immediately struck by the exuberance, the love of detail, the gutsy approach to form. The surface is so seductive that one may forget to look beyond it. On a deeper level, which are the themes of your work?
Our goal is to draw closer to human communication. We think contemporary viewers are a sophisticated audience. While ultimate clarity and formally minimal communication are definitely required in specific situations, such as highway signs, there are many contexts which benefit from or even rely on more directed or layered communication.
Remember that people are human. You can have the most well resolved, highly crafted, technically proficient solution, but it's the tiny bit of tension, awkwardness or personality tweaking the raw data, that makes it worthy of human communication.
Other recurring themes in our work: Being distrustful of rehashing tired neo-modernist styles for ease, lack of skill, lack of intelligence, lack of balls… The vernacular. 'High Culture' versus 'Low Culture.' Visual clichés and conventions. The symbiosis of technology and craft.
Ten years ago, exuberant and ornamented type was an exception. Now it's all over the place. Is that a good thing?
It is what it is. Ten years ago we were reacting to a specific neo-modernist revival. Now, especially with advances in technology, there's more possibility for customization. Nearly all of the ornamentation seen today is nostalgic or purely decorative. In some contexts it isn't too hard to understand where Adolf Loos was coming from.
You work with students a lot. What are you teaching them?
Be broad. Learn how to learn. Learn to program. For every hour of laziness and opportunity missed, there are hundreds of other designers working harder, doing more, being not lazy…so BE a designer. Design is making, seeing, talking, critiquing as much as it is listening, understanding, living, helping, giving. As a conduit of contemporary communication it is your responsibility to absorb any and all around you regardless of your personal taste, become a master of contemporary communication. Think big. Read. Read more. Integrate with culture. Be aware of history, the context in which you present your design. As a designer you carry a responsibility for what your audience will perceive.
What are your favorite tools to design with?
Minds, hands, space.
Which projects were the ones you enjoyed working on the most?
Our personal favorites are design projects where we are involved from the very beginning, so that we can carefully build a custom tool kit with solutions and get the opportunity to rephrase the original question in order to create the very best outcome.
A couple of examples:
Letterlab is an exhibition for children which we designed for the Graphic Design Museum in Breda, The Netherlands. It was a pretty ideal situation. In Letterlab we've combined everything from the second to the fourth dimension: Developed the content, created the spatial design, the programming, type design and even the traditional 'graphic design.' With Letterlab we are moving closer to our desire to create larger-than-life experiences, in which we control the design as well as the entire context.
BIG TYPE SAYS MORE, which we crafted for Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, was an important step towards this direction. Our design became truly physical! Over the course of five weeks, using industrial handheld jigsaws and paint, we manually produced a five layer thick, 2.83 meters high, and over 17 meters wide typographic installation. The typographic structure was positioned as the front of a spatial (honeycomb) cardboard structure, enticing the viewer from the windows and the glass entrance and upon approach rewarding them with increasingly complex, yet graceful forms. Our objective was to merge contemporary technology with traditional craftsmanship while representing the diverse multi-cultural and architectural city of Rotterdam. In the end, custom programmed micro controllers sequenced LEDs which were mounted to add a 'touch of Vegas' to the type that we created specifically for this project.
How do your clients relate to your experimentation?
Most of the time we are approached by people who are aware of our approach to design and who are willing to trust us and give us the freedom we need to experiment and come up with custom crafted solutions for their projects. In order to do so we try to be involved in the project from the very beginning, so that content and accompanying form are created at the same time and can influence one another. It's a naturally growing process in which we like to be in control. This results in very intense relationships with content, form and outcome, and yes, with the client as well. The key is to always visualize and document the actual experimentation. This way you can educate the client and the final outcome will be much more convincing and you may be able to eliminate the possibility that a client will simply say 'I don't like it.'

Discovery of phytoplankton mega-blooms beneath Arctic sea ice stuns scientists; Clark researcher co-authors report on the NASA ICESCAPE findings
NASA announced an "astounding" discovery of huge phytoplankton blooms thriving where least expected – beneath the Arctic Ocean sea ice. The report titled "Massive Phytoplankton Blooms under Arctic Sea Ice" was published in the journal Science on Thursday. Co-authored by Karen Frey, an assistant professor in the Graduate School of Geography at Clark University, the report was the topic of a live NASA webcast and media teleconference on June 7.
* Watch a video about the discovery. To check out more media coverage, visit here. *
Frey and fellow scientists were stunned to discover huge, "pea-soup" swathes of highly productive phytoplankton blooms above Arctic Ocean continental shelves below the pack ice in the Chukchi Sea. The research was conducted northwest of Alaska onboard a U.S. Coast Guard icebreaker during the summers of 2010 and 2011, part of the multi-year, NASA-sponsored mission called ICESCAPE (Impacts of Climate change on the Eco-Systems and Chemistry of the Arctic Pacific Environment).
"This is what you live for as a scientist," expedition team member Don Perovich told media. "It's a new Arctic Ocean that's full of surprises." Perovich is a geophysicist with the U.S. Army Cold Regions and Engineering Laboratory in Hanover, N.H. According to the report, the blooms appeared "where light transmission has increased in recent decades due to thinning ice cover and proliferation of melt ponds. … Evidence suggests that under-ice phytoplankton blooms may be more widespread over nutrient-rich Arctic continental shelves, and that satellite-based estimates of annual primary production in these waters may be underestimated by up to 10-fold."
"Phytoplankton are the base of the entire marine food chain and are critically dependent on the availability of nutrients and light," Frey noted. During the ICESCAPE mission, she measured the under-ice light field. "We found a surprisingly large amount of light that is transmitted through the sea-ice cover, particularly through the turquoise-blue melt ponds that dot the bare-white ice cover," she said. "Those melt ponds essentially act like skylights, transmitting up to four times the light compared to un-ponded sea ice in these areas. These phytoplankton blooms were found under a completely consolidated sea ice pack, and the presence of melt ponds is why there is enough light for these large blooms to occur. Our findings lead to important questions as we consider the impact of climate warming on the physical properties of sea ice, which have critical consequences for the entire arctic marine ecosystem." At Clark, Frey has been involved in several research expeditions to study climate change in the Arctic. Besides the NASA ICESCAPE mission, she is a co-principal investigator of "The Polaris Project: Rising Stars in the Arctic" (National Science Foundation), leading top student researchers from Clark (and around the country) to East Siberia to study the hydrological and biogeochemical impacts of climate warming and permafrost thaw. Frey and three of her students will join this summer's month-long Polaris Project. In August, she will travel to the Alaskan North Slope to study the biogeochemistry of lakes, through the NSF-funded "Circumarctic Lakes Observation Network (CALON)" project on which she is a co-principal investigator.

I decided I wanted to become a PCA major because I have always been fascinated and genuinely concerned with my influence on others and empathic, in a sense, towards the people around me. After taking Introduction to Communications, my interest was heightened once I discovered how much can be studied about how we all communicate in our infinite mediums. I appreciate the many methods of communication that we experience in our daily lives and I am someone who truly cares about how I am perceived when I interact with others. This semester I am taking Rhetoric and Public Speaking, as well as Research Methods of Communication. So far I am very much enjoying these more in depth courses concerning the rhetorical concentration of this major.
All through my educational career, getting up to speak in front of the class, even if it was about a topic I knew as well as the back of my hand, I still got a huge pit in my stomach and seemingly forgot how to breathe and speak simultaneously. When I came to St. Lawrence, one of the biggest components to my FYP was sharing our personal journals for the class. At first this was scary to me, speaking out loud to a group of twenty or so people whom I barely knew. Sharing my personal thoughts and opinions out loud was something I'd never done before. Throughout my semester I became more comfortable sharing my writing and I eventually enjoyed speaking up. Our final was a speech that culminated themes within our course in connection with a journey we have completed or were going through in our life. Although it was the longest speech I had ever given, it was one of my favorite projects I've ever done. I had been given the opportunity to share something important to me through my eyes to a group of people who knew nothing about it. I presented about a community enrichment center in my town for children and adults with special needs that I hold very close to my heart. Having the power and the privilege to share how important this organization is to me, and to attempt to show people how truly amazing these people are was a great as well as humbling feeling. I am passionate about sharing, educating and hopefully influencing peoples' ideas and I believe that being a PCA major will give me the tools to develop and learn the skills necessary to share and communicate what I care about.
Although I'm not sure what I would specifically like to do with a degree in Performance and Communication Arts, I know that I want to effect how people view ideas, places and other people. Something that really peaks my interest, is the way in which communications departments of a school or university operate. I work in the St. Lawrence Communications office as a photo processor, and I am also a member of our university's social media team that works closely with Meg Bernier who is the Assistant Director of Editorial Services & Social Media. Just the small glimpse I have into this department of our university gets me excited. The prospect of studying the art and logistics of what is the back bone of something so integral to places like a university and possibly making it a career or passion in my life is extremely appealing to me.
What also interests (but also frightens) me about completing a PCA major here at St. Lawrence is the secondary component, or in my case Theatre/Performance Arts. A part of me has always wanted to get into theater, but I've never had the nerve. I believe that experiencing this major will give me an opportunity to explore a part of myself within academia that I never have.
Since this fall, when I decided I wanted to be a PCA major I've been so excited to begin focusing my education on something that I truly enjoy and care to learn about. I hope that I will be a welcomed addition to the students who are members of this major, and I look forward to the prospect of working with the talented professors within this department and alongside the students who share the same passion as I.

Expert group responsible for establishing list of Jewish people in Monaco arrested and deported during Second World War delivers report
On 12 February 2015, H.S.H. Prince Albert II received at the Palace the expert group responsible for establishing the list of Jewish people in Monaco who were arrested and deported during the Second World War.
In spring 2011, the Sovereign Prince asked qualified individuals from a variety of backgrounds to study, impartially and transparently, the available sources on arrests made in Monaco between 1942 and 1944.
During his discussion with the expert group, H.S.H. Prince Albert II paid tribute to the memory of Fernand Levi, who chaired the commission which offers assistance to victims whose property was plundered in Monaco during the Second World War (Commission d'assistance aux victimes de spoliations, CAVS). Mr Levi passed away in August 2014.
In accordance with the Prince's desire for transparency and objectivity, the expert group's report was made public on 19 February 2015.
The expert group comprised:
- Mr Thomas Fouilleron, Director of the Prince's Palace Archives and Library, and Doctor of history
- Mr Serge Klarsfeld, lawyer and historian, member of the CAVS
- Mr Fernand Levi, Chair of the CAVS
- Mr Richard Marangoni, Chief Superintendent and Deputy Commissioner of the Police Department of Monaco
- Mr Jacques Wolzok joined the group at a later stage, when he succeeded Fernand Levi as Chair of the CAVS
Mr Marc Vassallo, Deputy Secretary-General of the Ministry of State, acted as secretary to the group.
You can contact the CAVS by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: Its gardening season, and at harvest time I always pull out the my old Rival vacuum sealer, current model being Rival FSFGSL0150-015 3 Step Vacuum Sealer w/ Bag Starter Kit. Nothing beats it when freezing beans and various blanched vegetables, you can put as much or as little as you want in the bag and seal away! I received my vacuum sealer as a gift, and I can see no reason to try another brand, it works perfectly every time! Its also great when buying in bulk for the freezer, or when baking, especially during the holidays.

It's nothing like the population boom of the mid-2000s, when Tarrant County was adding 35,000-40,000 residents a year, but the region continues to grow extremely fast.
Tarrant County added 20,060 residents from Jan. 1, 2013, to Jan. 1, 2014, led by Fort Worth with 6,590 residents and Arlington with 3,550, according to figures released by the North Central Texas Council of Governments.
Dallas had the highest absolute growth of any North Texas city with 10,560 new residents, and Frisco and McKinney were also big gainers, both adding more than 7,200 residents.
The population estimates are based on housing inventories for cities with a population of more than 1,000 in the 16-county region of the council of governments. The region gained 88,890 people for a total population of 6,841,530.
The numbers show some similarities with recent census numbers that showed the population as of July 1, 2013. But there are also differences. For instance, the census showed Fort Worth's population at 792,727 whereas the council showed it slightly smaller, 781,100.
Regardless of the estimates, Cowtown shows no signs of slowing down — it had 534,694 residents in 2000.
"Fort Worth has had really strong, robust growth," said Rice University sociology professor Steve Murdock, a former director of the U.S. Census Bureau and a former Texas state demographer. "Fort Worth has come into its own as a major metropolitan center of growth. I think this is simply a continuation of that trend."
Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price said the pro-business climate has helped fuel the booming economy and population growth for the entire region. She also said North Texas' role as a transportation hub has helped draw people.
"DFW Airport is a huge driver for us — it's easy to get in and out of," Price said. "Of course, Alliance is the largest intermodal transportation center around. I think they're both a big piece of it."
Go north, young man
Beyond Tarrant County, the estimates show the DFW region continuing to expand northward as more people move into Collin and Denton counties.
"I think the region as a whole is doing well, but it tends to be the same cities each year," said Brian Lister, a senior research associate at the council of governments.
"It's kind of an old story of growth for the 121 corridor. You could go from McKinney, Frisco and Plano all the way down to Southlake, Grapevine and Colleyville," Lister said. "All of this growth is centered on the economic engine that is DFW Airport."
Those three Northeast Tarrant cities gained about 1,700 residents combined while North Richland Hills — Tarrant County's third-largest city — gained about 1,450. Euless had a 2 percent-plus increase of 1,230 residents.
Tarrant County Judge Glen Whitley credits the region's pro-business environment and the willingness of various cities to work together, along with an emphasis on education.
"I think the environment is good because we have a number of very good school districts," Whitely said. "It's a combination that makes it an attractive place to be."
Challenges remain
Price and Whitley both said one obstacle could slow the population gains: transportation.
"Our challenge is going to continue to be infrastructure and how people can move around, not only within the county but around the entire region," Whitley said. "One of the things that has held us back in the central business district has been the problems with I-35W north of downtown to the Alliance corridor. There's just no reliability on how long it will take you to get there."
Construction on a 6 1/2-mile stretch of Interstate 35W is starting, but it will take four years to complete.
"The next 3 1/2 years are going to be hell," Whitley said. "But we know it will get better after that. The DFW Connector has been amazing, and the North Tarrant Express project has been a tremendous help."
North Tarrant Express is the $2.5 billion redo of Loop 820 and Texas 121/183, which is scheduled to be completed by year's end. The $1 billion DFW Connector project in Grapevine ended late last year.
Price also believes that the city needs more mass transit and points directly to the need to build the $810 million TEX Rail project, which would connect downtown Fort Worth with Grapevine and DFW Airport. She also would like to see rail to the Alliance corridor sometime in the future.
Parker County town doubles in size
The biggest percentage jump in the region was in the Parker County town of Annetta, which doubled its population — from 1,310 to 2,630 — by annexing neighborhoods outside the city.
"We voluntarily annexed unincorporated residents' homes," city administrator Chad Roberts said. "They signed a petition to voluntarily be annexed. They were already our water customers. We were already on their streets."
Parker County Judge Mark Riley said eastern Parker County continues to grow as residents can travel to jobs in Fort Worth relatively easily. And the Aledo school district continues to attract residents.
The DFW area is expected to grow more to the south and west thanks to the new Chisholm Trail Parkway and the development of the Walsh Ranch in far west Fort Worth.
But Murdock, the professor at Rice, said population patterns will largely be dictated by jobs.
"What we know about urban growth is it is dependent on where the employment centers are," he said. "There begins to be some resistance if the commute is more than an hour each way. People will start looking for alternative jobs in alternative locations if that happens."
The region's march toward the Oklahoma border may eventually end, but Murdock said that will determined by the job market.
"You can't keep going north forever unless you keep building new employment centers," he said. "The population has gone north primarily because new centers of employment have gone north."

Bipolar disorder in young people can co-exist with several problems like Substance abuse, Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, Anxiety and Depression. NIMH
San Diego, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) March 01, 2011
Recognizing the problem in teens is the first step to getting it under control.
As parents often believe that the teen's mood swings are due to hormonal changes, which their bodies are facing during their adolescent period; little do we know that Bipolar Disorder (BD) has been seriously affecting adolescents and their families. Teen Bipolar Disorder is a mood disorder that causes extreme mood swings and often it's grouped in teen "mania" and Teen Depression.
Teens experiencing mania often show erratic behavior, feeling overly energetic, impulsive and irritable. Depression is a mood state that is generally characterized by pessimism, sadness, inadequacy and decrease in activity or reactivity. Bipolar Disorder is an illness, although scientists have not grasped a full understanding of this illness in teens, they believe that it is caused by chemical imbalances in the brain. Scientists have not yet found a cure, but with the right medications and proper psychotherapy it can be controlled. When someone is suffering from an undiagnosed Teen Bipolar Disorder, their families are also suffering the consequences of these intense mood swings. Episodes of rapid change between depression and mania are present, whether mild to moderate or moderate to extreme, these are moreover altered by external factors, such as stress, medications, and environmental aspects that can trigger severe out of control events. As parents we need to provide the proper therapy and environment to help our teens.
What are the most commons signs of mania and depression we need to identify in our teens?
Mania: Extreme motor activity, erratic behavior, impulsiveness, irritability, violent outbursts, inappropriate elation, inability to focus, lack of judgment, insomnia, sexual obsession, excessively rapid thought and speech, an unrealistic sense of one's abilities, talents and skills.
Depression[i]: Sense of inadequacy, feelings of hopelessness, prolonged sadness or boredom, a feeling of emptiness, loss of interest or energy, headaches and body aches, alterations in sleeping or eating habits, excessive tiredness, pessimism, feeling anxious, discouraging, or blameworthy, suicidal thoughts and/or behavior.
Teens showing behaviors of Bipolar Disorder should seek professional aid. Therapeutic Boarding Schools offer a more monitored and safer treatment to properly assist the teen's needs.
The origins of Bipolar Disorder are still unknown, so far it seems to have a genetic component, and therefore teens whose close relatives suffer from this disorder are more likely to develop this illness. Scientists are still trying to understand Teen BD. The number of teens who are affected is still uncertain, but what they do know is that about ten million Americans have BD and in most cases, symptoms were present in their late teenage years. Although, researchers believe that it may begin much younger in some individuals. Parenting teens is challenging, let alone an undiagnosed or diagnosed Bipolar Disorder teenager, often because in our home environment we lack of tools and resources to help our teens to be successful.
If your child is showing associated behavior of Bipolar Disorder, your family will get the help needed at Sunset Bay Academy while keeping your teen in a safe and secure environment.
[i] Note that many psychiatrists regard anhedonia, a general lack of interest in the pleasures of life, as a defining characteristic of depression.

Kogan, www.kogan.com/au
Multi-platform; cost
Mono display; iOS app; slow interface
The Trakdot promises a lot. It supports both iOS and Android smartphones and looks a lot like the popular Pebble. But it lacks some of the polish of the Pebble and the iOS app had us scratching our heads on several fronts.
The Trakdot is distributed in Australia by Kogan. Like the Pebble, it has three buttons on one side and one on the other, although the orientation is reversed. The LCD screen is a similar size to the Pebble, although the entire watchface is a little thicker.
Set-up starts by loading an app on your smartphone – we used an iPhone 5s. The instructions, which like most Kogan products need to be downloaded as they're not included with the product, directed us to a website that loaded an app independently of the App Store. However, iOS was smart enough to tell us what data and services the app was accessing, such as contacts, calendar and reminders. A quick scan of the App Store revealed the same app was available there, but we couldn't get that version of the app to connect.
The app was clearly converted from another language, as some of the settings were a little cryptic or grammatically creative. For example, we're not quite sure what the setting 'Motor' was for. We could use the app to customise the watchface. For example, we could have the watchface show the time, weather and unread text messages.
The watch itself works reasonably well. The LCD display is reasonably clear, although it was a little difficult to read in strong light. It's easy, however, to reverse the display to show light text on a dark background, rather than the default.
We did find the watch laggy; for example, if we changed a setting on the app, it could take a while to show on the watch.
The included pedometer is a nice extra and the app provides real-time feedback on your speed and distance – handy for occasional exercisers.
Bottom line.
In our view – we'd rather spend the extra $20 and get the Pebble, as it's a more polished product that's supported by a developer community. But if you're after a basic smartwatch that delivers alerts it's adequate – particularly if you can find it in one of Kogan's frequent sales. We found it discounted by $44 at the time this review was written.
