What The Yuck?! The Freaky and Fabulous Truth About Your Bodyby Roshini Raj Lisa Lombardi
All women have concerns about their body that they are just too embarrassed to mention to their doctor. In "What The Yuck?!" Health Magazine Medical Editor Dr. Roshini Rajapaksa (Dr. Raj) answers them all - from the serious like 'Is it bad that I drank margaritas before I realized I was pregnant?' and 'Could this mole be skin cancer?' to the offbeat like 'Can too many venti lattes (Green Tea latte made with Soy) give you a heart attack?' and 'Why do I get a headache when I eat chocolate cupcakes?' Dr. Raj sheds light on even the most confusing symptoms, telling readers when not to worry, and when to see their doctor. The book also shares insider tips from Dr. Raj, fascinating factoids - such as 'Most women have one breast that's larger than the other' - as well as poll results, so readers can see at a glance how many seemingly-weird body issues are actually healthy and normal. All 205 questions come from real women; they cover everyday health concerns and thoroughly modern conundrums, such as H1N1 (Swine Flu), celebrity diets, and mobile phone dangers. The book is organized by themes such as 'That time of the month' and 'Between the sheets', making it easy to navigate and irresistible to flip through. Sure to be a classic, "What The Yuck?!" is a book women of all ages will want to own.

Biggest, tightest, longest, cheapest. Superlatives abound when describing LatAm capital markets and advisory for the last 12 months, and many bankers expect the good times to continue rolling.
After a turbulent 2010, equity bankers and investors are hoping for a smoother 2011, with continued strong volume.
Credit Suisse is back on top again, aiming to leverage relationships throughout emerging markets to further stoke the coals of its LatAm investment banking engine. The Swiss house coasts on rising revenue from M&A, equity and fixed income, but has not slipped into complacency.

401(k) plan sponsors generally do not relish the annual call from their 401(k) consultant with their plan's nondiscrimination testing results. If your plan regularly passes testing, that's great news. However, if you are not so fortunate or your plan is on the cusp, there are steps you can take to greatly increase your plan's chances of success. This article discusses those choices.
Just changing your matching structure without increasing the dollars involved can drive behavior. For example:If your current match is 50 percent of the first 4 percent of pay contributed, you will probably find a large number of non-highly compensated employees contributing at the 4 percent level.If you were to change that match structure to 25 percent of the first 8 percent of pay contributedand couple that move with effective education, your plan would most likely see an immediate migration toward the 8 percent of pay contribution level.
Just changing your matching structure without increasing the dollars involved can drive behavior. For example:
If you do decide to make your match richer, it's best to do it in a way that creates an incentive for desired employee contribution levels. Retirement plan experts say that employees need to save at least 15 percent of pay through their prime earning years, according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute. So, in an ideal world, a great matching scenario might be 50 percent of contribution to 10 percent of pay to bring the employee to that desired 15 percent overall contribution amount. However, economic conditions play a big part in whether such an approach is feasible.

Best and Worst Player
Best Player
Goal Choice
V. BirsaSlovenia Position: Midfielder
Worst Player
Goal Choice
S. CebaraCanada Position: Midfielder
Team Ratings
J. Oblak
Started ahead of first choice 'keeper Samir Handanovic. Made a terrific save in the 13th minute on a curling strike from Dwayne De Rosario which looked destined for the top corner. Had nothing else to deal with for the rest of the game.
M. Samardžić
Never put a foot wrong. Was very composed in possession. Subbed off at halftime.
Andraž Struna
Never really probed forward from fullback, as most of Slovenia's attacks came down the right-hand side. Had a fairly easy time at the back.
M. Milec
Slovenia at times struggled to break down the Reds' back-line, but when Milec got forward from fullback, good things happened. Helped create some space for Kurtic to cross for Birsa on the opening goal.
B. Cesar
Aggressive in his marking, kept Canada's forwards quiet for most of the game.
D. Stevanovič
Pulled the strings in midfield. Made some good runs forward from deep positions.
J. Kurtič
Provided a strong physical presence in midfield and assisted on the host's opening goal.
V. Birsa
Showed some glimpses of his talent in the first half, particularly with a long ranged bullet which just whisked by the Canadian goal, and made the difference in the second half, by scoring the go-ahead goal. Came off in the 60th minute.
R. Bezjak
Other than his brilliant effort in the 18th minute which bounced off the crossbar, he was marked out of the game.
Z. Dedič
Never really got into the game. Had a few attempts on goal from distance, but none of them came close to hitting the target. Came off at halftime.
A. Kirm
Lively performance, but Ledgerwood had, for the most part, the better of him on the left hand side. Replaced at halftime.
K. Stamatopoulos
Didn't have a whole lot to deal with as Slovenia's attempts on goal were mostly from distance and wayward, but he could have saved Birsa's shot had he not slipped on his way to the ball.
A. Hainault
A much improved performance from the Czech Republic game on Friday. Was solid throughout.
K. Porter
Had a half chance in the first few minutes, and set-up DeRo for Canada's best opportunity of the game. Came off at halftime.
A. Straith
Played as the holding midfielder in front of the Reds' defense, and had his hands full all game. Couldn't stop Birsa from unleashing the shot which gave the Slovenian's the win.
D. Henry
Other than a few miniature slip ups, had a strong game in central defense. The 20-year-old continues to progress.
M. de Jong
Bombed forward against the Czechs on Friday, but played a much more conservative game against Slovenia and did fairly well. Came off in the 69th minute.
N. Ledgerwood
Was usually pinned back, but did very well defensively, keeping the tricky Slovenian wingers at bay for most of the game. Subbed off in the 69th minute.
P. Pacheco
Drifted in and out of the game. Offered very little when Canada didn't have possession.
S. Cebara
Not a night to remember for Cebara. Gave away possession on many occasions. Too slow in his decision making and tried to do far too much at times. Subbed off at halftime.
D. De Rosario
Came close the scoring early on in the first half, but his curling effort was saved well by Oblak. Played a more withdrawn role in midfield and he was everywhere in the game, but just didn't have the necessary support.
T. Ricketts
Worked really hard to track back and pitch in defensively, but didn't offer anything going forward.
A. Morgan
Came on at halftime for Cebara. Tried to offer the Reds some width on the right-hand side, but didn't get on the ball very often.
N. Attakora-Gyan
Replaced Ricketts at halftime, and had a strong performance in the second half.
I. Nakajima-Farran
Came on for Porter after halftime, but failed to have an impact in the game.

CMC&Silenta began their experiences in music making separately, with Silenta first creating beats as a teenager and CMC playing bass in live bands eventually trading his instrument for a pair of turntables. The duo's first recordings were created in 2006. Since then CMC&Silenta have been quite prolific with a number of remixes and tracks for their own Roca Records imprint as well as other worldwide labels. Their vibe is perhaps best expressed in their 'mash up' sets, enticingly flaunting their "no limits" attitude. WIth no evidence of slowing down, CMC&Silenta's continued forays into funk and breaks as well as the expansion of Roca Records will take them well into the end of this decade. Stay tuned!

Reversible optical structuring of polymer waveguides doped with photochromic molecules77(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1288598View Description Hide Description
We show that polymeric filmsdoped with the photochromic molecule -dihydro-2(4-iodophenyl)-1,1-azulenedicarbonitrile can be reversibly structured by light. We discuss the relevant material properties of the photochromic molecule in solution as well as in polymer films and demonstrate light-induced waveguides at the telecommunication wavelength of 1.313 μm.
Adaptive feedback control of ultrafast semiconductor nonlinearities77(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1288603View Description Hide Description
We experimentally demonstrate that adaptive feedback optical pulse shaping can be used to control ultrafast semiconductor nonlinearities. The control scheme is based on an evolutionary algorithm, which directs the modulation of the spectral phase of 20 fs laser pulses. The algorithm has optimized the broadband semiconductor continuum nonlinearity measured in differential transmission experiments. Our results show that insight into light–semiconductor interaction is obtained from the optimum laser pulse shape even if the interaction is too complex to predict this shape a priori. Moreover, we demonstrate that adaptive feedback control can substantially enhance ultrafast semiconductor nonlinearities by almost a factor 4.
Reflective polarizer based on a stacked double-layer subwavelength metal grating structure fabricated using nanoimprint lithography77(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1288674View Description Hide Description
A reflective polarizer consisting of two layers of 190 nm period metal gratings was fabricated using nanoimprint lithography. Measurements with a He–Ne laser (wavelength=632.8 nm) showed that at normal incidence, this polarizer reflects light polarized perpendicular to the grating lines (transverse magnetic polarization) with a reflectance of 54%, but strongly absorbs parallel-polarized light (transverse electric polarization) with a reflectance of only 0.25%. The enhanced polarizationextinction ratio of over 200 at this wavelength is possibly related to the resonance between the two layers of metal gratings. This polarizer is thin, compact, and is suited for integrated optical systems.
All-solid-state electrochromic reflectance device for emittance modulation in the far-infrared spectral region77(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1288810View Description Hide Description
All-solid-state electrochromic reflectance devices for thermal emittance modulation were designed for operation in the spectral region from mid- to far-infrared wavelengths (2–40 μm). All device constituent layers were grown by magnetron sputtering. The electrochromic (polycrystalline ion conductor and ion-storage layer (amorphous optimized for their infrared (IR) optical thicknesses, are sandwiched between a highly IR reflecting Al mirror, and a 90% IR transmissive Al grid top electrode, thereby meeting the requirements for a reversible ion insertion electrochromic device to operate within the 300 K blackbody emission range. Multicycle optical switching and emittance modulation is demonstrated. The measured change in emissivity of the device is to 20%.
Dipyrazolopyridine derivatives as bright blue electroluminescent materials77(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1288811View Description Hide Description
Very bright blue organic light emitting diodes were fabricated using highly fluorescent dipyrazolopyridine derivatives, 4-(4-substituted phenyl)-1,7-diphenyl-3,5-dimethyl-1,7dihydrodipyrazolo[3,4-b,4′,3′-e]pyridine (PAP–X, Ph, and OMe), as emitter by doping the dye in an electron-transporting host, 2,2′,2″-(1,3,5-benzenetriyl)tris-[1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole] (TPBI). Two hole-transporting layers, 4,4′-bis[N-(1-naphthyl-1-)-N-phenyl-amino]-biphenyl (NPB) and 4,4′-dicarbazolyl-1,1′-biphenyl (CBP) were used to achieve the emission from PAP–X. The devices with a general configuration of indiumtin oxide/NPB/CBP/TPBI:PAP(2%)/Mg:Ag showed a bright blue emission. The PAP–CN-based device is exceptionally good, with a brightness of 11 200 cd/m2 at 14.2 V and the peak external quantum efficiency of 3.2%. The efficiency is the highest for the blue emission.
Pyramid-shaped pixels for full-color organic emissive displays77(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1288675View Description Hide Description
Organic electroluminescent emissive displays are composed by pixels consisting red-green-blue (RGB) light-emitting diodes(LEDs) in a planar arrangement. When operated, these RGB LEDs are biased independently to produce the required color. In this manuscript, we describe a promising pixel structure, the pyramid-shaped pixel (PSP) for the integration of organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs) in full-color organic emissive displays. The RGB light-emitting diodes are constructed on the walls of the pyramid structure. When operated, the RGB LEDs emit photons through the base of the pyramid structure, hence these RGB LEDs share the same emissive area to produce the required color. The PSP structure offers the advantage of being a full color emissive pixel comprising of individual RGB OLEDs with very high resolution. In addition, pyramid pixel does not require shadow mask to pattern the organic materials during the vacuum deposition process.
Optical properties and laser characteristics of highly -doped ceramics77(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1289039View Description Hide Description
Diode-pumped laser oscillation in highly -doped polycrystalline (YAG) ceramics has been demonstrated. The Nd:YAGceramics are highly transparent; the loss of a 2.3 at. % neodymium-doped ceramic is as low as that of a 0.9 at. % Nd:YAGsingle crystal. The high doping of ions realizes large pump absorption; a 6.6 at. %-doped ceramic has an absorption coefficient of at 808 nm. The same concentration quenching parameter is obtained between the Nd:YAGceramics and Nd:YAGsingle crystals. A laser using an 847-μm-thick 3.4 at. % Nd:YAGceramic as a gain medium operates at 2.3 times higher output power than the same laser with a 719-μm-thick 0.9 at. % Nd:YAGsingle-crystal gain medium.
Design of thin-film photonic crystal waveguides77(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1289061View Description Hide Description
We present numerical designs for single-mode leak-free photonic crystal waveguides exhibiting strongly anisotropic spatial and temporal dispersion. These structures may be produced quite simply by drilling regular arrays of holes into thin films of high refractive index, and permit the realization of highly compact optical elements and wavelength division multiplexingdevices.
Time-dependence of luminescence of nanoparticles of and deposited on and doped in alumina77(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1289068View Description Hide Description
Nanoparticles of and have been prepared using ultrasound radiation and were deposited sonochemically on microspherical alumina particles. In a different sonochemical reaction and were doped into nanophased alumina particles. For both systems the decay times of the fluorescence was measured. The luminescence of the alumina substrate was found to be much shorter than that of the rare-earth oxides. Differences between the decay times of the deposited and dopedmaterials are accounted for by the stronger guest-host interaction and absence of concentration quenching in the dopedmaterial.

Discharge efficiency in plasma displays77(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1288812View Description Hide Description
The dependence of the panel efficacy of an alternating current-surface-discharge plasma display on the input power is investigated. Test panels with a design resembling the one used in main stream commercial products are used. The input power is varied in two ways: namely by changing the dielectric layer capacitance (thickness) and by changing the sustain voltage. An interesting different behavior is found: for increasing capacitance the efficacy decreases markedly, whereas for increasing sustain voltage the efficacy increases slightly. The different behavior is attributed to changes in the ion heating losses. It is found that plasma saturation, which implies a fundamental trade-off between luminance and efficacy, is not significant at practical input power values. A high luminance and a high efficacy are concurrent for a plasma panel design with a low dielectric layer capacitance and a high sustain voltage.

Self-assembled Ge nanostructures on polymer-coated silicon: Growth and characterization77(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1288599View Description Hide Description
Self-assembledGenanoparticles have been grown on polymer-coated Si substrates by thermal evaporation under high vacuum utilizing the nonwetting condition given by the surface free-energy relation The nanostructures have been characterized by Raman spectroscopy, atomic-force microscopy(AFM), and optical microscopy. Raman spectrum shows a prominent Ge–Ge vibration peak at AFM and optical microscopy show the formation of isolated Ge islands base, height), nanowires (160 nm base, 25 nm height), and islands in linear chains. The possibility of embedding such nanostructures in waveguide structures are discussed.
High-pressure, high-temperature synthesis of SiC–diamond nanocrystalline ceramics77(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1288602View Description Hide Description
Dense and entirely nanocrystalline diamond–SiC ceramics were synthesized by the infiltration of liquid Si into the nanodiamond body under high-pressure (77 kbar) and high-temperature (1400–2000 °C) conditions. Based on x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy observations, a model of as-synthesized material is proposed, where individual polycrystallinediamond particles are bonded via SiC–diamond nanolayers. The nanolayers provide a very high hardness of the entire specimen up to 51 GPa. The phenomenon of self-stop Si infiltration was detected in this system. This phenomenon can be explained by the closure of pores near the boundary between molten Si and diamond nanopowder due to the formation of SiC inside the pores.
Wide nematic range alkenyl diphenyldiacetylene liquid crystals77(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1288600View Description Hide Description
Several alkenyl diphenyldiacetylene liquid crystals were synthesized and their physical properties evaluated. The introduction of a double bond in the side chain leads to an unexpectedly wide nematic range and an extraordinarily large figure of merit at elevated temperatures. These liquid crystals are particularly attractive for infrared laser-beam steering.
Time-resolved two-band infrared radiometry of carbon tetrachloride under shock compression up to 10 GPa77(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1288676View Description Hide Description
Time-resolved two-band infrared radiometers were constructed for measuring temperatures of carbon tetrachloride under shock compression. Radiance histories were observed with about 10 ns time resolution in two slightly overlapping bands, approximately 7–9.5 and 9–12 μm, for shock pressures from 3.3 to 9.4 GPa. The experimentally obtained temperatures (680–1370 K) were consistent with the results of theoretical calculations using equation-of-state data below 7 GPa and suggested the chemical reaction of at 7.5 GPa.
Light-induced softening of azobenzene dye-doped polymer films probed with quartz crystal resonators77(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1288809View Description Hide Description
Employing quartz crystal resonators, we have measured the elastic compliance of thin polymers filmsdoped with an azobenzene dye. From a comparison of the shifts of resonance frequency on different acoustic overtones of the resonator, the films' elastic compliance was derived. Upon irradiation with ultraviolett light at low intensity, the compliance decreases by a few percent. Irradiation with visible light at high intensity, on the contrary, softens the material. We assume that, when irradiated with high-power visible light, the azobenzene molecules undergo rapid cycling through the trans- and cis-states, thereby softening the polymer matrix.
Controllable method for fabricating single-wall carbon nanotube tips77(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1288815View Description Hide Description
Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were abruptly cut with a niobium substrate after a heating process in an ultrahigh vacuum transmission electron microscope. The cutting was attributed to a break of weakly bonded interface between carbon nanotubes and niobium carbide that formed as a product of a solid-phase reaction. This effect provided a controllable method for preparing well-defined SWCNT tips in future field-emission applications.
Strong photoluminescence of Sn-implanted thermally grown layers77(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1289032View Description Hide Description
The photoluminescence(PL) and PL excitation (PLE)properties of Sn-implanted layers thermally grown on crystalline Si have been investigated and compared with those from Ge- and Si-implanted layers. In detail, the violet PL of Sn-implanted layers is approximately two and 20 times higher than those of Ge- and Si-implanted layers, respectively. Based on PL,PLE, and decay time measurements, the violet PL is interpreted as due to a triplet–singlet transition of the neutral oxygen vacancy typical for Si-rich and similar Ge- and Sn-related defects in Ge- and Sn-implanted films. The enhancement of the blue–violet PL within the isoelectronic row of Si, Ge, and Sn is explained by means of the heavy atom effect.
Copper gettering at half the projected ion range induced by low-energy channeling He implantation into silicon77(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1289062View Description Hide Description
ions were implanted at 40 keV into Si 〈100〉 channel direction at room temperature (RT) and at 350 °C. The Si samples were subsequently doped with Cu in order to study the gettering of Cu atoms at the defective layer. A subsequent annealing at 800 °C was performed in order to anneal the implantation damage and redistribute the Cu into the wafer. The samples were analyzed by Rutherford backscattering channeling and transmission electron microscopy techniques. The Cu distribution was measured by secondary ion mass spectrometry(SIMS). The SIMS experiments show that, while the 350 °C implant induces gettering at the He projected range region, the same implant performed at RT has given as a result, gettering at both the and depths. Hence, this work demonstrates that the effect can be induced by a light ion implanted at low energy into channeling direction.
Room-temperature luminescence of excitons in ZnO/(Mg, Zn)O multiple quantum wells on lattice-matched substrates77(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1289066View Description Hide Description
We report on the optical properties of ZnO/(Mg, Zn)O multiple quantum wells(MQWs) on lattice-matched substrates fabricated by laser molecular-beam epitaxy. As the well layer thickness decreased down to 7 Å, the photoluminescence(PL) and absorption peaks showed a systematic blueshift, consistent with the quantum-size effect. Moreover, a bright PL of free excitons could be observed even at room temperature. As a result, the PL could be tuned in the energy range of 3.3–3.6 eV by choosing the appropriate barrier height and well layer thickness. The widest tunability on the room-temperature luminescence of the excitons could be attained on the basis of the ZnO quantum structure. These favorable properties could not be attained in the MQWs on lattice-mismatched sapphire substrates.
Formation of icosahedral phase from amorphous alloys77(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1289069View Description Hide Description
The kinetic behavior of quasicrystalline phase formation in amorphous alloys has been studied by using differential scanning calorimetry(DSC),x-raydiffractometry, and transmission electron microscopy. DSC trace obtained during continuous heating from 473 to 873 K shows two distinct exotherms with peak temperatures of 727 and 776 K. The first and second exothermic reactions, respectively, correspond to the formation of quasicrystalline phase from the amorphous matrix and the formation of tetragonal and hexagonal phases from the previously formed quasicrystalline phase. Partial replacement of Cu by Ag enhanced the formation of quasicrystalline phase from the amorphous structure. Johnson–Mehl–Avrami analysis of isothermal transformation data suggests that the formation of quasicrystalline phase is not entirely polymorphic in nature and may involve partitioning of solute at a later stage.

Football at UWM on new AD's radar
The new UW-Milwaukee athletic director used to work at Rutgers and South Florida, a couple of schools that have experienced a lot of football success recently.
So you know where we're going with this, straight off tackle.
Rick Costello said he would like to see football return to UWM, which fielded a program from 1899 to 1974.
He saw what football did for the overall financial health and emotional well-being of both campuses, especially at South Florida, which started a program from scratch at the I-AA level in 1997. Since 2005, the Bulls have played in a Division I bowl every year.
"It's something we'll look at long term," he said Tuesday.
But Costello, a 44-year-old Philadelphian, also is a practical man.
He knows there is no place to play. He's fully aware of the enormous start-up costs. He realizes UWM would have to add at least one women's sport to reach the federally mandated scholarship ratio.
It might be years, if at all. But it is good to know that someone from a 30,000-enrollment state school is interested in bringing college football back to a big city that adores the game.
It's also good to know that after a period of instability at UWM, the third AD in two years clearly understands that a sports-hungry town like Milwaukee is always prepared to jump onboard with most levels of success the Panthers could offer.
Costello has been on the job long enough to have seen more than 10,000 people, many of them locals with no connection to the school, cram into the Cell for the Horizon League championship basketball game against Butler.
In a couple of weeks, UWM will begin looking at pre-designs for an on-campus basketball facility. Whether it's an expansion of the Klotsche Center or the construction of a new building to meet the Horizon's minimum standard of 5,000 seats, Costello said he is committed to raising the money to get UWM basketball back on campus.
Although students have said they're willing to pay a new fee, a good chunk of the $68 million or so for a basketball facility would have to come from private funds. Costello knows it's going to be about persuasive fundraising among the more than 100,000 UWM alums.
"When you see what Butler and Virginia Commonwealth have done lately, there is no reason why basketball can't be a portal for us to get back into the NCAAs, and deep into the tournament," Costello said.
For the record, he said he's also committed to coach Rob Jeter, whose team beat the national finalist twice this year and came within a game of returning to the big tournament.
But before Costello can think about putting a shovel in the ground for a basketball arena or even dream of a football helmet logo, there are other pressing matters. He inherited a sizable deficit. He needs to make sure that all scholarships are fully funded. At least three of his sports don't have on-campus facilities.
Then there is baseball, which should be much more of a focal point given its status as the only Division I program in the state.
Costello said he was planning Tuesday to go to his first home baseball game, where he'll be able to see the problems with Hank Aaron Field in Glendale. Costello's coach, Scott Doffek, does a terrific job despite being saddled with the worst field in the Horizon.
Costello understands the handicaps of playing April baseball in this climate, but he seems more interested in taking advantage of the fact that Wisconsin has no plans to bring back baseball anytime soon. If the Panthers had a better facility, the instate players who leave to play elsewhere might be inclined to stay. That would be one way to get UWM's name out there before the public.
Of course, nothing would satiate the interest quite like football. This is, always has been and always will be a football state. All it will take is cash, much easier said than done right now.
But at least UWM now has an athletic director who is willing to think about the sport that would put the school in a position to make money. If they ever built it, well, you know the rest.

Oceans and Seas
Oceans and seas are the main components of the Earth's hydrosphere. They cover about 70.9 per cent of the earth's surface and represent the greater natural reserves among ecosystems.[1]
The importance of oceans and seas is related to fisheries and shipping routes, but also to the creation of oxygen and several chemical equilibrium conditions.
Oceans and seas represent a public good for society and also, a specific ecosystem - the marine ecosystem. Human activities, such as pollutant discharges and fishing, influence its health and marine ecosystems, such as coral reefs.[2] Conversely, human health depends on the functions, products and services of the marine ecosystem.
The study of oceans, seas and human health is in part a social and economic problem because it commits scarce resources to improve societal well-being.
The most important problem related to oceans and coastal seas is pollution, which is generated by human activities run in our continents. Human actions and activities continually disturb the marine environment. The pollution generated causes massive impacts on the flora and fauna of oceans and it could represent a negative externality for the present well-being of societies and for future generations.
The Marine Ecosystem
The marine environment is important to society and the economy. It represents a form of natural capital providing value in stocks and flows of goods and services, directly as seafood, pharmaceuticals, oils and additivies.
It also supplies many services, some of which are critical to human health, such as ecosystem resilience, genetic diversity and aesthetic appreciation. Indirect benefits (e.g. biological support and water and air purification) and passive-use benefits (e.g. the satisfaction that we get from knowing that the environment has been preserved for future generations) influence our decisions to exploit or to conserve marine resources.
Waste assimilation represents one of the most important services that oceans and seas can provide. Indeed, they serve as the ultimate repository of many waste products. However, they have only a limited capacity to absorb waste and convert it into biologically benign material.[3] If the oceans and seas' assimilative capacity exceeds the volume of waste receveid, the environment remains unharmed. Unfortunately, the volume of waste often exceeds the assimilative capacity and damage occurs. Environmental damage reduces the future productive capacity of marine ecosystem and adversely affects indirect use and amenity values, including human health. Thus, the waste has an adverse impact on individuals and on societal utility.
Measures and Indicators
The Ecosystem Indicator Partnership (ESIP) is a committee of the Gulf of Maine Council on the Marine Environment. ESIP is developing indicators for the Gulf of Maine and integrating regional data to monitor marine ecosystem. See more about the ESIP Monitoring Map.
The Northwest Fisheries Science Center - NOAA Fisheries Center has developed a climate index based upon patterns of variation in sea surface temperature of the North Pacific from 1900 to the present: the Pacific Decadal Oscillation - PDO.
The Marine EnvoRonment and Security for the European Area - MERSEA is an Integrated Project to monitor oceans at global and regional level in support of safe offshore activities, environmental management, security and sustainable use of marine resources. The MERSEA is supported by the European Union (Sixth Framework programme of research and development, FP6) to contribute to the development of the ocean and marine application component of the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security system (GMES).
The RAMOGE Agreement is the instrument adopted by the Governments of France, Monaco and Italy to ensure that the coastal areas of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region, the Principality of Monaco and the Ligurian Region should constitute a pilot zone for preventing and combating pollution of the marine environment.

"First full-length LP from the Columbus, OH musician, improviser and sound artist after collaborating with a diverse array of folks such as Greg Kelley, C. Spencer Yeh, Nate Wooley, Christine Sehnaoui, Bhob Rainey, Jandek, Mike Shiflet, Envenomist, Larry Marotta, Vic Rawlings, Fossils, Rafael Toral, Psychedelic Horseshit, Pink Reason, Jason Zeh, Wasteland Jazz Unit, and many more. Side A is one long stereo-melting, ear-bending composition that evokes the best sense of surprise of harsh cut-up noise, except with organic sounds manipulated with some Pierre Henry level finesse, compiled from about 9-10 years of material including early tape experiments, live recordings, unreleased new material, re-edited previously released material, Hi-fi, low-fi, etc. Recorded in Ohio, in a creek in West Virginia, as a teenager in a car while on the country music highway in Kentucky, in the middle of a street in New Zealand - heavily spliced and edited with razorblades and mouse clicks into the form of the composition. Side B focuses on deep drones, long tones wrought with patience and intensity from a lone drum - a kind compliment to the frenzy of the first half. Mastered by Bhob Rainey, with art by Dylan Nyoukis. 300 Copies, pro-printed art." (label info)

Skip to comments.A Homosexuality "Fact Checker" for Born-again Christians
Posted on 11/02/2013 7:24:32 AM PDT by James R. Aist
I believe that it is incumbent upon born-again Christians to become well-informed about homosexuality, even though this is not a topic that is either enjoyable or entertaining to deal with. To help you get an idea of how well-informed you are, or are not, about homosexuality, I have developed this quick and easyto-use Fact Checker. It will not only show you your current level of knowledge of the facts and truth about homosexuality, but it will also point you to key resources that will correct any misperceptions that you may have picked up from the liberal media or well-meaning, albeit misinformed, friends, relatives or co-workers.
(Excerpt) Read more at ipost.christianpost.com ...
Conveniently located on your blog.
Over 80% of homosexuals were sexually abused as children.
What else do you need to know when arguing against the "born gay" nonsense?
"The Bible does not condemn same-sex attractions as sin."
If Christ said that to lust after a woman is to commit adultery with her in your heart was a sin, is there a point that a "same sex attraction" also becomes sin, even if the "act" never occurs? Is a simple opposite sex attraction also a sin, or at what point does that attraction become pure lust(and therefore sin)?
What you describe in that sentence is indeed sin. But that is not the same as opposite-sex attraction. Attraction is not the problem, opposite or same. It is what the individual does with that attraction.
I would say that merely being sexually attracted to members of the same sex is a temptation, not a sin. It leads to sin when one acts on the temptation through lust and/or physical acts.
Homo/bi/a-sexuality is a choice as we were created heterosexual.
God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve.
Good point.
You're welcome. I trust it was informative.
took it and find I agree with most—but not all of his answers. I remain convinced one cannot be born again Christian (born anew/born from above) and claim equally to be homosexual for one is dead to the world as signified in baptism and born anew —a new creation the old things are passed away.But it may all just be a question of semantics.
How about a fact checker on IF this sect called 'born again' is Biblical?
Yes, there is the point that you are going down the wrong path, and yes, IYRC, at communion you join in the prayer to confess that your thoughts and desires have been sinful. At least in the Catholic & Episcopalian Communion prayers, anyways.
But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Matthew 5:28 (New American Standard Version, 1995)
No... Christ says that merely looking at a woman and experiencing desire is equivalent to committing adultery with her - if not de facto, then at least in "one's heart."
Thus, it is not necessary to commit any overt act - experiencing "lust" (sexual desire) is sufficient to speak of "sin."
Many people are attributing today's political climate vis-a-vis Christian bashing as being anti-Christian. That's not the point nor the objective.
The eventual goal is to bring society to the moral tipping point and utterly destroy and replace religious based moral aptitude with government created moral turpitude.
Think about this: Increasing population, diminishing resources. What's the eventual outcome? When does the inflection occur? Who will suffer? Who will prosper?
Try KJV
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Shows intent
That's your interpretation.
The KJV is not the entire Bible as it was at the beginning. It has been added to and subtracted from by Luther, and then the KJ followed.
Jesus said (twice)that to be born again is not an option for salvation; it is an absolute requirement (John 3:1-8). Of course, we are free to have our own contrary opinions.
Have we remained completely free of sin since we were born again and justified? Or, are we being sanctified as we walk out our salvation with fear and trembling? Are we really any different in that regard from one whose sins include homosexuality?
Somebody once said "ye must be born again," can't quite put my finger on it but I think is was somebody important.
Over 80% of homosexuals were sexually abused as children.
Is the first "warmth of feeling" towards an attractive woman or man(same sex or opposite sex) the sin or does sin occur when one mentally starts to "peel off their clothes"?
I think if one has a good inner thought life, that first rush of 'warmth' should be a warning that "sin is at the door" and that one should "change the subject" mentally immediately!
God gives same-sex attractions to some people, making them homosexual.
That's a theological assertion, not a biological one. You can't disprove it by arguing that homosexual attraction isn't innate or hereditary (indeed, innate and hereditary aren't quite the same thing either, as all the recent talk about epigenetics indicates).
In any case, you can't reduce God to DNA. When people say God did something, they aren't necessarily saying that it's an unavoidable result of something material that science can identify or explain.
The only thing i can think of with out first looking up scripture is that God destroyed two cities because of men lusting after each other, i do not see any scripture of this happening because of a man and woman lusting after each other even though that has been the case since Adam and Eve.
If there were no lust between a man and woman how could we expect to multiply?
So, no i do not believe it is the same thing.
Homosexuality is an abomination, it is a sin against nature,
Just the same as worshiping idols, can anyone worship idols and believe in God at the same time?
It is not the homosexuals that bother many people, it is their Agenda which separate them from God.
What you describe in that sentence is indeed sin. But that is not the same as opposite-sex attraction. Attraction is not the problem, opposite or same. It is what the individual does with that attraction.
Why would,nt it also apply to another of the same sex?
Homo/bi/a-sexuality is a choice as we were created heterosexual.
God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve.
The KJV is not the entire Bible as it was at the beginning. It has been added to and subtracted from by Luther, and then the KJ followed.
Thus, it is not necessary to commit any overt act - experiencing "lust" (sexual desire) is sufficient to speak of "sin."
I certainly am not free from sin— Neither am I self Identified as homosexual. I am born anew—and sanctified by the blood of Jesus Christ.And when I sin— I do repent but do not continue in sin, as does one who identifies him/ her self as homosexual.
Of course it would apply. The problem is that equating attraction with lust is a category error. The kind of thing that leads to a complete denial of the worth of the human body (ala gnosticism). It is a profoundly Islamic concept that leads to things like treatment of women like a necessary evil.
You are attracted to food but the sin comes in what you do with that attraction. If it turns into an obsession and you fixate on cheeseburgers you have sinned. But simply because a cheeseburger whets your appetite it does not man you have sinned.
God created men and women and and all things beautiful. I can say that both Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are physically attractive human beings without doing anything more than recognizing God's handiwork. But if I were to take that to the next level via lust (toward either of them), I would be sinning.
Before his conversion Saul of Tarsus said the same thing about "The Way." As a matter of fact, The Way is made up of "born from above" regenerated in the Blood of Christ believers. Don't take my word for it examine Acts and the epistles.
Nancy Pelosi keeps getting communion and her public statements on killing babies in the womb are clear. Yet priests keep giving her communion.
It's OK to admire God's handiwork but not to want to shoplift it.
I believe you are most correct. What depraved creatures of flesh are we! But there is Hope indeed! Jesus Christ!
LOL, you do try don't you? While you are into changing things around in the Bible, you may want to take a look at the DRA (Roman Catholic Bible) vs. all those Prot versions when it comes to Genesis 3:15:
Here is the DRA Roman Catholic version of Genesis 3:15:
15 I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.
Here is the KJV of Genesis 3:15:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Who is tampering with Scriptures?
What INSPIRED Scriptures did the Prots throw out? Please don't go down the Apocrypha rabbit hole. That has been addressed many times.
Finally what does the verse quoted by the gentlemen above have to do with Luther or the Reformers. Is it your claim that the verse quoted on lust is not found in Prot Bibles or RC Bibles? Or did you just have a rainy afternoon wanting to stir the pot up a bit?
I will note, constantly changing the subject and dragging old arguments into new threads is a troll technique.
I love our 1st Amendment rights, but you continuously yell "FIRE" on every RF thread.
I might note that our good Roman Catholic friends need to look at their DRA Bible for this is what it says for John 3:3:
3 Jesus answered, and said to him: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Even in their NABRE the footnote from John 3:3 says either term can be used but the commentary writer prefers the use of "from above."
So you have stumbled on a petty, ignorant argument their own church in their own Bibles don't argue.
I fully understand what you AND Robert are saying. Let's shift to a different kind of lust. How about the repentant regenerated former adulterer. If he is continuously having sex in this mind with the pastor's wife, that dude is sinning big time. We are told in Romans 8 that God The Father continues to conform us to the image of His Son. That means transforming our minds. Will this corruptable flesh ever be perfect--no, only when He replaces the corruptable with the incorruptable at Resurrection.
So if a homosexual who is repentant and saved continues to have sex with the same sex in his mind, then he or she really needs to examine themselves as Peter and Paul tell us to do. I think that is what Robert is alluding to, but don't know for sure.
Yeah, LOL you picked up on that troll remark too huh? Just the ever so cheerful and charitable Roman Catholics pooping on threads we dirty nasty Prots populate. I wonder if they run in synagogues yell "Hitler" and run out.
I really think Jesus Christ was being brutally honest in the "lust in your heart" discourse. The honesty is there is not one human man born of the seed of Adam that has not violated this standard. Guilty as charged here! Yes probably a multiple offender when I was a teenager. That everyone has this sin in their hearts is no excuse though as we know from the Law. So all have sinned. We have seen that in the Bible too. Again that does not mean, "oh well I am doomed to repeat this because I am human so..."
No Jesus told everyone that the standard for entering the Kingdom of God was "to be perfect as the Father in Heaven is Perfect." There you have it.
Jesus Christ also gave solutions to avoid hell and enter the Kingdom by cutting off the body parts that prevented us from being perfect. Mind you if I took that command literally I would not be able to type right now, nor would I see the keyboard, nor would I have a brain or heart. I would have casted them all off to gain the Kingdom. As a matter of fact if we are all honest none of us would have a whole body.
But the above is what happens, especially within some religions within Christendom, when we don't follow the exact steps of the ministry of Jesus Christ on earth. His ministry ends at the foot of the Cross where sin is dealt with, and the promise of life everlasting begins with His Resurrection.
So if we take the Words of Christ and ministry of Christ and fail to see them within the Light of the Cross and Empty Tomb, we are left with a Sinai II message which is the Law. And with the Law and breaking it comes the Wrath of God. With the Cross and Empty Tomb comes deliverance and everlasting joy.
Sorry Bob but it seems you replied to one of the resident RC trolls that come to Evangelical threads to spew the hatred of Rome against other Christians.
"You are right, Bibles which changes some meanings brings in many millions of dollars to some one so i think we will see many more different translations."
The DRA is a perfect example of changing meanings.
The Bible versions out there that are not literal translations usually obscure the most.
Of course it would apply. The problem is that equating attraction with lust is a category error
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

God created men and women and and all things beautiful. I can say that both Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are physically attractive human beings without doing anything more than recognizing God's handiwork
I don,t know who those people are but yes, just thinking some one is attractive is not lust.
Lusting and attraction aren't the same thing. If I find a woman in the office attractive, but I take that thought captive to the obedience of Christ I haven't sinned.
If I dwell on that attraction, if I take opportunities to watch her walk by, if I review her body in my mind at night then I have lusted for her.
The Greek word for lust in Matthew 5 is epithumeo and means to covet, desire, to long for.
I've had a lot of personal experience with lust. It is indeed a sin and it corrupts the heart.

Volcano blast led to London deathsBreaking News
A report to be released tomorrow by the Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) will reveal that a mass burial on the site of the Augustinian priory and hospital of St Mary Spital had thousands of victims from a famine that occurred in 1258. The famine was caused by a volcanic blast from the other side of the world, which sent vast amount of ash into the atmosphere and dropped world temperatures.
The report, A bioarchaeological study of medieval burials on the site of St Mary Spital: excavations at Spitalfields Market, London E1, 1991–2007, was written by a team lead by Don Walker, a human osteologist at Museum of London Archaeology. It is based on excavations that took place between 1991 and 2007 by the Museum of London Archaeology, which uncovered over 10,500 human skeletons. The skeletons date from the 12th to the early 16th centuries, and includes a large number who were buried in a mass grave. It was previously believed that the remains came from a tragedy like the Black Death in 1348, but radiocarbon dating revealed they were buried in the 13th century....

The Chevrolet Volt has been the talk of
the town for quite some time in automotive circles. First shown as a
concept over three years ago in Detroit, the vehicle is now just
months away from hitting
U.S. streets as a fully-fledged regular production vehicle.
Unsurprisingly, even though the Volt
won't launch until later this year, GM's top brass is already
thinking of ways to improve the vehicle with the second generation
model. One of the main points of focus will be on the Volt's internal
combustion engine according
to Edmunds Inside Line.
The upcoming Volt makes use of a
four-cylinder gasoline engine developing just 71 hp. Quite
frankly, using this relatively large engine that is only serving to
recharge the batteries is overkill. "Right now, the propulsion
system is too expensive, even with using an existing engine,"
said Karl Stracke, GM's VP of global product engineering.
New options on the table for the second
generation Volt include a smaller, two-cylinder gasoline that would
produce between 20 to 24 horsepower.
Another option would be small rotary
engine (with just one rotor). Probably the most recognizable vehicle
on the market today with a rotary engine is the Mazda RX-8. That
vehicle's rotary engine is extremely compact and weighs
just 245 pounds with all accessories attached. A rotary engine
for the next generation Volt wouldn't need to be nearly as powerful
as the RX-8's 13B-MSP Renesis, so it could be even lighter and more
The only downside to using a rotary
engine would be the relatively high fuel consumption, but that should
be more than offset by the compact dimensions and weight savings.
A final option would be the use of a
diesel engine. "The cost of the engine would be higher for the
manufacturer, but the fuel costs would be cheaper for customers,"
said Stracke.
While cutting costs on the internal
combustion engine is important for the second generation Volt -- and
part of broader effort to cut costs throughout the project -- cutting
costs for the battery pack will have to be even more drastic. The
current battery pack in the Volt costs GM around $10,000 each. GM
hopes to bring that cost down to roughly $5,000 for the second
generation Volt.

quote: The other issue is that 2-strokes make huge amounts of horsepower, but not a lot of torque. Naturally you can tune around that, but torque is generally preferable to HP.
quote: A final option would be the use of a diesel engine. "The cost of the engine would be higher for the manufacturer, but the fuel costs would be cheaper for customers," said Stracke.
quote: I'm not sure why they kept jacking up the price on it till its 30 cents or more higher.
quote: Yeah, its a less refined oil product so I'm not sure why they kept jacking up the price on it till its 30 cents or more higher. It used to be the other way around.
