Ancient Faith Publishing has posted their 2013 Christmas catalog, featuring a variety of new products, including customizable greeting cards, handpainted keepsake ornaments and ornaments from Russia and Greece, and an array of new icons. A recent release, Meditations for Advent: Preparing for Christ's Birth by Vassilios Papavassiliou, takes the reader through the hymnography, scripture readings, and iconography of the forty days leading up to the Nativity of Christ.
Traditionally one of the most popular Ancient Faith offerings for the Advent season, the Icon Calendar for 2014 features the parables and miracles of Christ and the iconography of Dmitry Shkolnik. The 11" X 12" full-color calendar displays large calendar boxes for recording important reminders. Major saint and feast days traditionally celebrated in Orthodox countries around the world are listed, according to the New Calendar.
Syrian refugee families (iocc.org)On October 14, 2013, Ancient Faith Radio (AFR), in its program "Ancient Faith Presents," released a podcast interview with IOCC Director of Programs Mark Ohanian in which the Director discusses the difficulties faced by Syria's swelling refugee population. IOCC is supporting one of the largest established efforts to provide aid to Syrians torn by civil war, and is one of the only international operations on the ground in Syria, working closely with His Beatitude John X, Patriarch of Antioch. There are 1.8 million refugees who now live in the countries surrounding Syria.
"I was in the region about 2 weeks ago," notes Mr. Ohanian in the interview. "The most obvious thing I saw is that the needs are growing and becoming greater. This is a kind of conflict where there is no end in sight, and there's a constant flow of people who are avoiding conflict areas, migrating within Syria to safer areas, or leaving to a neighboring country.
"This humanitarian catastrophe and the need for resources are far, far greater than what we at IOCC have in place," he continues. "It is stretching everyone's capacities and the needs are unimaginable. We have not seen a scale of this kind of need since...arguably, the Second World War. Almost one third of the Syrian population is in need of assistance."

In a new post on the blog Conversations on Orthodoxy, the tables are turned on the men behind the microphone, as Producer Mark Bradshaw interviews John and Bobby Maddex, Ancient Faith Radio's CEO and Operations Manager, respectively. As the Conversations Website notes, "John is the founder of Ancient Faith Radio, and now the CEO of Ancient Faith Ministries, which includes Ancient Faith Publishing (used to be Conciliar Press). We discuss how AFR got started, what it takes to run the network and produce the shows, new languages and podcasts, the live call in shows, and future plans and thoughts on video."
"Ancient Faith Radio is one of the most successful outreach tools we have," notes the host in his brief introduction. "I sat down with John and Bobby to get a behind the scenes look at what it takes to run Ancient Faith."

Crisis in Syria, a Special Broadcast of Ancient Faith Today with Kevin Allen this Sunday, September 8 at 8 PM EST/7 PM CST
Chesterton, IN (September 5, 2013) — In light of the President's call for a "limited" military strike on Syria, Kevin Allen, the host of Ancient Faith Today, will speak live with Middle Eastern experts about the complex crisis in Syria, its main players and their interests, and what effects an American military attack will have on Syria, its struggling Christian population, and the region. The program will stream live on Ancient Faith Radio's Talk station on Sunday, September 8, at 8:00 PM Eastern/7:00 PM Central. Listeners will be able to hear and respond to a different perspective on the crisis in Syria than what is typically heard on the mainstream news.
Chesterton, IN (July 24, 2013) — Conciliar Press announces a name change to Ancient Faith Publishing, in an effort to foster continued growth and forward momentum. This name change will not affect the operations or customer relationships in any way; it is simply a change in identity to better reflect our mission.
Conciliar Press was founded over 30 years ago as a ministry of the Evangelical Orthodox Church. When the EOC was received into the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Church by Metropolitan Philip Saliba, Conciliar Press became a department of the Antiochian Archdiocese. It continued and gradually expanded its work of publishing and providing a variety of quality Orthodox resources.
Protodeacon Peter DanilchickAncient Faith Radio (AFR) has released an interview titled "Correcting a Canonical Anomaly." AFR's Website explains that "One Bishop per city or region is what the canons call for. Yet, here in North America we have multiple bishops in one location. The Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops is working to correct that, and today we speak with Protodeacon Peter Danilchick (Orthodox Church in America) who is the liaison for the Canonical Regional Planning Committee. Learn about the importance of this task and how long it will take to get it done."

On the most recent Ancient Faith Radio (AFR) podcast "In the Valley of the Shadow of Death," Fr. David Alexander, a chaplain with the United States Marine Corps, gives his listeners a window into his life with the Marines of his battalion, where in the midst of the stresses of military life in Afghanistan, he struggles to be a shepherd. A priest of the Antiochian Archdiocese, Fr. David has been a military chaplain for five years. His wife, Heather Maria, and his daughter, Eve Marie, reside in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
In the most recent three episodes, Fr. David movingly recalls for his listeners the Paschas he has spent in Afghanistan, describing the services he celebrated on the American base in Kandahar at a very unique Romanian chapel.

As the first week of Great Lent draws near, Conciliar Press—the publishing arm of Conciliar Media Ministries—has released several new resources for Lenten reading.
The Hidden Garden: a story of the heart, by Antiochian children's book author and editor Jane Meyer, is a parable that employs the imagery of the garden to teach children about the inner heart and the need to cultivate peace and beauty there. "I have long wanted to write a book for children that touches on the idea of the nous—that place within us that searches and longs for and knows God—where the heart and the mind are integrated and work as one with holy intentions and for holy purposes," explains Mrs. Meyer. "Children have an incredible capacity for touching and knowing God....But do they know that they can nurture and protect and tend that place within them where God resides?
Meditations for Great Lent is written by notable author Archimandrite Vassilios Papavassiliou.
On February 8 and 9, 2013, Fr. Constantine Nasr, pastor emeritus of St. Elijah Orthodox Church in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and the author of Mastering the Art of Marriage published by Conciliar Press, conducted a marriage preparation seminar at the Antiochian Orthodox Basilica of St. Mary in Livonia, MI.

Ancient Faith Radio (AFR) has announced the live broadcast debut of a new call-in talk show, Orthodoxy Live with Fr. Evan Armatas, beginning this Sunday night at 8 pm Eastern. Orthodoxy Live with Fr.

Fr. George Shalhoub, priest at the Basilica of St. Mary Antiochian Orthodox Church in Livonia, Michigan, recently offered four "Meditations on Mercy" at the 2012 Antiochian House of Studies Residency Program. The talks were presented each evening after the final benediction of Great Vespers during the first week of the program in early September, and were very well received by the 100 students and faithful present. Ancient Faith Radio has posted each talk, as well as an interview with Fr. George.
"I teach Liturgical Practice and I chose a theme every year and speak from my experience as a priest for over 40 years," Fr. George said. "In my talks, I asked, what does it mean when to use mercy with each other? Mercy is to listen, to comfort, to forgive, to strengthen, to encourage, all set in the context of prayer."
Father urged his audience to avoid becoming "professional" priests or deacons, because in doing so "we lose the art of being priests. And this subject can apply to everyone," he added. "In our world today, we find a breakdown occurs when communication dies; we're wired up but we're still not communicating with each other."
Listen to the complete set of meditations.
On Sunday, September 16, the live call-in broadcast Ancient Faith Today will feature host Kevin Allen's conversation with well-known author Kyriacos Markides. Markides' newly released book, The Inner River, chronicles his "pilgrimage to the heart of Christian spirituality," and speaks about his journey from materialism to shamanism, and then back home to the mystical Orthodox Christian faith of his youth.
A professor of sociology at the University of Maine, Markides is the best-selling author of The Mountain of Silence and Gifts of the Desert. "He is a bridge builder between Orthodox and non-Orthodox seekers," notes Ancient Faith Today host Allen. "We'll find out about his views of Darwinism, near-death experiences, universalism, and other topics that are a part of his fascinating inner journey. I'll also have a chance to ask him some of the hard questions that many who have read his books, have wondered about."
The call-in number for Ancient Faith Today is 1-855-AFRADIO (1-855-237-2346), and the link for the chatroom is posted shortly before the time of the program, which streams live at 8 P.M. Eastern Standard Time.
On Sunday, September 2, the live, call-in radio program of Ancient Faith Radio featured the theme, "Back to the Future: A Reflection on the Past and Future Legacy of the 'Evangelical Orthodox' in Canonical Orthodoxy."
The guest was the V. Rev. Jon Braun, ex-Campus Crusade for Christ Regional Director and former leader of the Evangelical Orthodox Church. Fr. Peter Gillquist of blessed memory was originally scheduled to be interviewed on this program as well. As a tribute to his life and legacy, Conciliar Press has made Fr. Peter's booklet Finishing the Race available as a free download.
The call-in number for Ancient Faith Today is: 1-855-AFRADIO (1-855-237-2346), and it streams live at 5:00 pm Pacific, 7:00 pm Central, and 8:00 pm Eastern every other Sunday.

The new app allows phone and tablet users to listen to AFR Music and AFR Talk live streaming stations, as well as all AFR podcasts and specials.

Once content has been downloaded listeners can share content via Twitter, Facebook and email. "Though they've been a long time coming, we really believe that these apps are worth the wait.

Archpriest Peter E. Gillquist, retired chairman of the archdiocese's department of missions and evangelism, chairman of Conciliar Press, speaker, and the author of numerous books including Becoming Orthodox, reposed on Sunday evening July 1, surrounded by his family.
Fr. Peter and his wife of 52 years, Kh. Marilyn, had lived for many years in Santa Barbara, California, but as of June 2009 they relocated to Bloomington, Indiana, where their son Fr. Peter Jon Gillquist serves as pastor of All Saints Orthodox Church.
Condolences may be posted on the All Saints website, where tributes have been pouring from all over the United States and abroad. A recent Ancient Faith Radio retirement interview with Fr. Peter, Kh. Marilyn and Fr. Peter Jon, is available here. The schedule of services is as follows:
Antiochian priest Fr. Andrew Damick, an author, blogger and podcaster, is now recording and posting his weekly homilies to his podcast, Roads From Emmaus: Exploring the Intersection Between Place, Communion, and Revelation.
In his homily on Thomas Sunday, Fr. Andrew discussed the difference between the story of Christ and our own story in the world, and on Myrrh-bearers Sunday, Fr. Andrew spoke about our motivation for acts of piety.
Pastor of St. Paul Orthodox Christian Church of Emmaus, Pennsylvania, Fr. Andrew is also the author of the Conciliar Press book, Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy. He describes his perspective on his blog, Roads from Emmaus, this way: "Much of what you might read here will focus on Christian localist themes of place, incarnation, limits, and real communion. I love my home, and I'm firmly of the belief that loving one's home is a critical element in Christian life and particularly for evangelism."
Chesterton, IN Ancient Faith Radio announces the launch of the first ever Orthodox live call-in show, Ancient Faith Today, this Sunday, April 22, at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
Ancient Faith Today is what Ancient Faith Radio and Orthodox Internet radio have been missing -- a live inter-active conversation program. Now that void has been filled! Ancient Faith Today streams live, with call-ins from around the world, twice a month on Sunday nights at 5:00pm Pacific/7:00pm Central/8:00pm Eastern on Ancient Faith Radio Talk.
Topics cover all of life through the lens of Scripture and the teaching and canonical tradition of the Holy Orthodox Church.
St. Ignatius Antiochian Orthodox ChurchAs an aid to Orthodox Christians who aren't able to make it to all the services of Holy Week, Ancient Faith Radio offers a complete set of recordings of live Holy Week services.
One of the parishes featured in the recordings is St. Ignatius Antiochian Orthodox Church in Madison, Wisconsin, pastored by Fr. Patrick Kinder.
All of the services of Holy Week are included in the set, from the Bridegroom Matins early in the week, to the Service of Holy Unction, Twelve Passion Gospels, Royal Hours and Vespers and Lamentations of Holy Friday, to Sunday's Paschal liturgy and Agape Vespers.
The new podcast Cambridge Orthodox Forum: Lectures delivered in Cambridge, UK at the Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies, recently launched on Ancient Faith Radio (AFR).
The Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies (IOCS), the pan-Orthodox house for theological studies in the ancient university city of Cambridge, England, is presenting this selection of lectures delivered by a number of distinguished scholars for the Institute's degree course. The series of lectures will address a variety of themes while trying to address questions of great relevance for the world of today. The first lectures will be:
1. What is Theology?
Metropolitan Kallistos Ware, renowned Orthodox author, former Spalding Lecturer in Eastern Orthodox Studies at the University of Oxford and one of the Directors of the Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies, explores the Orthodox vision of theology.
"Ancient Faith Today With Kevin Allen," AFR's new flagship national program, is slated to launch at the end of Bright Week on April 22, 2012.
Allen, the host of the award-winning interview podcast, "The Illumined Heart," will draw on his background in Orthodox media to discuss a wide variety of issues with knowledgeable guests, all through the lens of the Orthodox faith and tradition. "Ancient Faith Today" will stream live and allow for call-ins from around the globe, twice a month on Sunday evenings at 8 p.m., Eastern Standard Time.
Antiochian.org asked host Kevin Allen to share his hopes and plans for this new venture.
1. Kevin, tell us about your history with Orthodox internet radio.
I hosted an interview program called "The Illumined Heart" on Ancient Faith Radio from 2007 through April 2011 with a few hiatuses in between. We logged 5, 251 minutes and 49 seconds in 176 programs with Orthodox and non-Orthodox laity, clergy, monastics, theologians, writers and Episcopal leaders on a wide range of subjects with the common theme of "spirituality" and "church life." The program began as a parish media project and Ancient Faith Radio produced it on its Talk Radio line-up as a regular program as a downloadable podcast. In addition, I have been a listener of many of the other fine podcasts on AFR myself through the years.

Hamilton moving on from Spa clash with Rosberg
Sep 5, 2014, 10:00 AM EDT
Lewis Hamilton is not dwelling on his clash with teammate and championship rival Nico Rosberg at the Belgian Grand Prix, and is instead choosing to look forwards to the final seven rounds of the 2014 season.
On the second lap of the race at Spa-Francorchamps, the two drivers made contact when Rosberg tried to overtake Hamilton around the outside of Les Combes.
The German's car touched Hamilton's rear wheel, leaving the Briton with a puncture. He would ultimately retire from the race, conceding another 18 points to Rosberg in the championship race.
The F1 world had expected an on-track collision at some point this season, but the team had maintained that it would allow its drivers to race so long as there was no contact between them.
In the wake of the incident, Rosberg apologized to Hamilton and the team for causing the collision, but many believed that it would set the tone for a tense final leg of the season at Mercedes.
Speaking in a press conference on Thursday in Italy, Hamilton said that he was not looking backwards at the incident, and is instead putting all of his efforts into winning a second world championship in 2014.
"I'm really excited about moving forward," Hamilton said. "I had a good couple of days break last week, so excited to be here, this is one of my favorite circuits so I hope we can have a good weekend.
"I know it's something you all want to talk about but after the race it was important to really try and move forwards and that's really what I'm focusing on.
"What's happened in the past is in the past and it is what it is. I'm excited to get back in the car. I have seven races, there's still a lot of points available and so that's my focus."
Hamilton was quick to dodge questions about whether or not it was a racing incident, but is now focusing on reducing the 29 point gap at the top of the championship standings.
You can watch this weekend's Italian Grand Prix live on NBCSN and Live Extra on Sunday 7th September from 7.30am ET.

The two are going to battle to the very end as they should. What Mercedes wants is no crashing and a level playing field, which is how it should be. I'd however be willing to bet there will be more crashing before it's over.

But let's not think it will be between two silver arrows !
Vettel is itching to be up front , Alonso and Kimi will be there also,
Sunday could be interesting.

Love this swimsuit, although it runs big. I ordered another Sporti brand, same size and it's extremely tight - this one is just big but couldn't be bothered sending back as the price was great, it's gorgeous and I use it only for my daily swim. If you order this, suggest a size smaller.

I liked it. I stretched big time after 8 months. I liner also stretched so far out that it was hanging out of the suit. I dive, so i put alot of pressure on this suit but if your a swimming i highly recomend this! Very cute and comfy
Good suit!
from PA
on 7/2/2012
I normally wear a 32 in other suits, but took a 30 in this one. It's just a little bigger than most other brands. I got this about 10 months ago and it is still in good shape. Very little stretching and almost no fading! In my opinion, the wavy pattern isn't very flattering when it's actually one (haha). But overall, this is a quality suit.
Love it!

I use bathing suits quite often as we have a spa and I go thru them a lot. This one looks pretty good on but, liner was kind of thin and there is no bra support so don't get this if you are a busty gal.

pretty suit

The suit fits well and I've gotten lots of comments. The thighs are cut a bit higher than I normally like, but overall it is a very nice suit.
good fit - overall nice!
from San Francisco
on 3/3/2012
I went for my first swim with this suit and the fit's great...not too loose or tight, on the conservative side as far as not showing too much skin, but still very cute. Nice to have a suit that stays completely in place when I kick off the wall in the pool!
This swim suit has a wonderful design but not made for the women with breasts!
Ann A.

Women with larger breast this style of suit is not for you! You order the suit that fits your top half and the bottom half falls out!
Good Deal!

I thought this swim suit might be cheaply made based on the price I paid for it, but it is very well made. I really liked how the swim suit fit and worked. I am 5'3" and about 135 pounds, and the 34 fit perfect. I will be buying more sporti suits in the future!
Nice fit

Nice fit, shape, material, and print (true to picture). I did have to return my original size 36 and repurchase a 34. I wear a 36 in the Sporti wide strap suits. I found it may be the thin strap suits fit differently.

1. Jenna was outgoing and confident in high school and college. But her husband's constantderision, along with his infidelity and the divorce, made her feel worthless and a failure. Have youever felt that way? How did you overcome it? How did God help you? Are there any Scriptureverses that encouraged you?
2. As a single mom, Jenna is greatly blessed to have a loving and helpful family. But not all singleparents have that kind of support. Do you know a single parent who is trying to deal witheverything on her/his own? What are some things others can do to help?
3. When Nate was in high school, Dub basically told him that he wasn't good enough for Jenna.And Nate agreed. Is there something you desperately want but don't think you deserve becauseyou aren't good enough? How can you change—or change that perception—to reach your goal?
4. Though post-traumatic stress disorder doesn't happen to everyone who has been traumatized,it can happen to someone who has been through war, natural disasters, rape, mugging,kidnapping, being held captive, serious car accidents, train wrecks, plane crashes, child abuse, etc.Or it could stem from witnessing something such a plane crash. People often will have many ofthe symptoms right after the traumatic experience, but it isn't considered PTSD unless thesymptoms last for a month or longer. Have you ever experienced anything traumatic like this?How did you feel afterward? Did those feelings and problems eventually fade away? Or do someof them still trouble you? If so, what have you done, or what can you do to get help?
5. Nate knew he was having problems, but he thought if he toughed it out, they would go away.Even when he finally admitted to himself that he probably had PTSD, he wanted to leave hisfamily and friends and go off by himself so he wouldn't put anyone in danger. Why is itimportant for someone with PTSD (or some other issue) to recognize that they have a problemand admit that they need help? Why was he afraid to seek help?
7. When Nate's PTSD symptoms became obvious to the Callahans, they rallied around him. Ifsomeone you know is showing symptoms of PTSD, how can you help them? What can you do ifthey don't want your help or if they even drive you away?
8. Experts tell us that people with chronic PTSD are never the same; it never leaves them. Doyou believe this is true? If not, how do you think people can be restored to normal? What isGod's role in their healing?
9. One of the common manifestations of PTSD is sudden, irrational anger, such as when Natethrew Chance and Will to the floor. What should Chance have done to diffuse the situation beforeit became violent? Does the Bible give us some guidelines about that?
10. Nate clung to his faith and asked God to help him deal with his problems and make them goaway. But they kept getting worse. Why do you think God allowed that to happen instead ofsimply healing him right away?
11. Even in Nate's darkest hour, Jesus was his anchor. How do we develop a faith that strong?
12. Callahan Crossing gave Nate a hero's welcome when he came home, as they had done forother hometown military personnel. Does your town or community do something to honor ourservicemen and women or veterans? If not, can you think of some things you might do?
13. When the fire struck Callahan Crossing, those who hadn't been affected immediately pitchedin with donations of all kinds. But it quickly became apparent that neighbor-helping-neighbordidn't just apply to the people of their local community. People from all over the state and thecountry helped with goods and money. Church members from other towns later came to helppeople rebuild. Have you or your church ever participated in such a rebuilding project? Whatother things can people do to help those hit with disaster?
14. Zach is a very talkative little boy. Every child is special in their own unique way. Do youhave something fun to share about a child in your life? (I based Zach on my grandson. Yes, hetalked that well at that age and did all those cute things. I took meticulous notes.ϑ And that's mygrandma-brag for today.)

Industrial Design Infringement Ruling Arrives In Trudeau's Favor
Friday April 12th, 2013 - 9:47AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
The Federal Court of Canada recently ruled in favor of Trudeau Corp. by rejecting the claim of industrial design infringement made by Bodum USA and PI Design, a case filed in February of 2007, Trudeau announced. The court also invalidated Bodum industrial design registrations Nos. 107,736 and 114,070 covering the configuration of double-walled glasses and found that Trudeau branded products were dissimilar and did not infringe Bodum's industrial designs.
The court awarded Trudeau costs in the action. Although Bodum and PI Design had filed a Notice of Appeal to the Federal Court of Appeal, they abandoned their case on March 22.
"Bodum has always taken great pride in designing and producing unique, original products for our customers and makes every effort to protect its designs and other intellectual property. While Bodum has accepted the court decision, it will not change Bodum's determination to protect our designs which have been the foundation for Bodum's business success over the past 70 years," said Thomas Perez, president of Bodum USA, Inc.
"It is an important victory for our company," said Charles Harari,vp/corporate affairs for Trudeau. "We were always convinced that our products were different and did not infringe on any existing industrial design.
"We will not hesitate to defend ourselves against claims that we consider are unmerited nor pursue companies that infringe upon our intellectual property. Trudeau invests substantial funds and energy in the development of new products, values its intellectual property and respects all valid existing intellectual property rights."

China Update: Beasley shines, Mudiay remains, Blatche does work
From NBA bust to CBA folk hero, Shanghai Sharks import Michael Beasley is enjoying an incredible career renaissance in China. The second overall pick in the 2008 NBA draft, Beasley is currently averaging 29.4 points and 10.4 rebounds. If that wasn't impressive enough, on Sunday at the CBA All-Star Game in Beijing, Beasley scored a record 59 points. There are few players with quite so hot a hand as the former Miami and Minnesota forward, and given that he will soon
Eurohoops: 2015 Draft Prospects from Serbia, Luka Mitrovic and Nikola Milutinov
Last season, the Adriatic League produced some of the top talents in the NBA draft, with Dario Saric, Jusuf Nurkic, Bogdan Bogdanovic going in the first round, and Nikola Jokic, Vasilije Micic and Nemanja Dangubic being selected in the second round. While we likely will not see six more NBA draft picks this season from the Adriatic League, there is little doubt that with the rich basketball tradition in the former Yugoslavian countries, it is no surprise that again young talent
EuroHoops: Former NBA 1st Round Picks Thriving in Europe
Which former first-round picks are trying to earn their way back to the NBA via Europe? Gone are the days where being a first-round pick nearly guarantees at least a four-year NBA career, with several opportunities to produce before teams give up on you. With the new CBA, teams are cutting costs from every possible angle, and with many options for minimum salary players from the D-League and overseas developing, more and more first-round picks are finding themselves on the outside

The evidence suggests reef systems are becoming more brittle, as a result of bleaching and disease.
With corals currently dying en masse in Indonesian waters and a significant risk of large scale coral bleaching deaths on Australian reefs in 2009, scientists are racing the clock to unravel the causes of these devastating global losses.
The puzzling thing is that surrounding waters need only increase in temperature by one or two degrees Celsius for the corals to expel their symbiotic algae, a process known as bleaching, and risk death by starvation, says the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies' Dr Andrew Baird.
'A degree or two is well within the range of tolerance for most sea life – but for some reason, as yet unknown, symbiotic organisms like corals become stressed and lose their algae, resulting in large scale mortality which can devastate reefs.'
Researchers believe that the answer may lie in the chemical 'conversation' which takes places between the symbiotic algae and their host corals, but whether the breakdown of the relationship is triggered by the algae or by the coral remains a mystery.
Solving this mystery could constitute a vital step forward in understanding how to manage and protect coral reefs through the mid-century onslaught of warm water that is expected to take place due to global warming, Dr Baird says.
'Coral reefs are under severe threat from many sources, including mass coral mortality events caused largely by sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies associated with global warming,' Dr Baird and colleagues write in a new paper in the journal Trends in Ecology and Evolution.
Recently, the scientific focus has been on the symbiotic algae – and whether corals can survive by switching to more heat-tolerant types of algae. However, there are many features of coral bleaching, such as dramatic differences in susceptibility to stress among species that can not be explained by algal types. Furthermore, the coral has many ways to influence its fate. For example, coral produces molecular sunscreens that prevent the photosynthetic apparatus of the algae from being damaged. Similarly, the host produces anti-oxidants that can mop up toxic molecules produced by the breakdown of photosynthesis. Finally, corals that can change their diet from carbon produced by the algae to carbon captured by the host in the form of planktonic prey are better able to recover from heat stress.
Most importantly, the team argue, we shouldn't forget that corals have been in symbiosis with photosynthetic organisms for up to 200 million years, a selective pressure that has modified both host and algae. Consequently, there needs to be more focus on studying the symbiosis as if it were a single organism: 'Clearly both partners are involved in determining the organisms' response to stress and, therefore, understanding the threat climate change poses requires the organism to be treated as a whole.'
In particular, they say, there is a lack of population ecology studies of corals meaning that the response of even the most basic vital rates in corals to thermal stress, such as growth, mortality and fecundity, are poorly understood. Through such studies much more precise predictions can be made about the probable impacts of climate change on coral reefs, they say.
The evidence suggests reef systems are becoming more brittle, as a result of bleaching and disease.
'Coral bleaching is one of the most devastating manifestations of climate change. The last big event in Australia's waters in 2002 affected almost half of the Great Barrier Reef – an immense area. Every year now, bleaching events are being reported somewhere in the world.
'If we are not to lose the corals, then we need urgently to understand what is going on here – and what, if anything, we can do about it,' Dr Baird says.
'Coral bleaching: the role of the host' by Andrew H. Baird of CoECRS and James Cook University, Ranjeet Bhagooli of Mauritius University, Peter Ralph of the University of Technology Sydney and Shunichi Takahashi of the Australian National University appears in Trends Ecol Evol 24: 16-20 doi:10.1016/j.tree.2008.09.005

DD will not let anyone else help her with anything including DH. We have a DS who is almost 11 months and she has been jealous since day one, but it seems to be getting worse. I can't pick up DS without DD freaking out saying that she needs a hug. I literally cannot go anywhere without DD following me. DH and I spend a lot of time with her alone when DS is sleeping and we have a gymnastics class that we attend together without DS. I'm not sure what to do. The tantrums are increasing and it makes for a very stressful environment. Any thoughts?
DD is addicted to me

We do not yet have other children in the house but dd is like this towards me too. Maybe not SO clingy, but a lot of stuff dh says, she will look at/run towards me and try to say no to him while cuddling me. Yesterday she was ALL over me. She sat with dh 1 time during the day but if I was lying down or anything, she was with/on me. I think she knows the twins r coming AND since dh is a sahd, she sees him all the time. But there are plenty of times dh will turn the channel and she'll run and get the remote, bring it to me and say "we are not watching this". I think kids go through needy spurts where only one person is good enough. I really think my dd can sense there will b a big change. But it sucks bc as I get bigger and more uncomfy, her crawling all over me does not suit me well. So I guess no real advice, but just info on how it is for us.

This is totally normal. I just got an email from babycenter about kids this age favoring one parent. Try searching for it. They had a lot of good tips. In the end, they said it was a phase and will pass. DD was like this for a really long time and sometimes still is but she's gotten better with time.
Screws fall out all the time, the world is an imperfect place.

Don't just pummel the bag. "A great boxer has to have focus, coordination, power, speed, and endurance," says Michael Olajide Jr., a former championship middleweight boxer. To help you hone your skills, we've tapped the country's top fighters to act as your cornermen. Hit these workouts to improve your staying power.
The Workouts
1. UFC Power Punches
Your coach: Frank Mir, Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight
Whether you're facing Wanderlei Silva in a cage match or a 75-pound bag in your basement, the same rules apply: "Once you're warmed up, you should be throwing each punch at full blast," says Mir, a former UFC heavyweight champ. He uses this demanding six-round routine to build mental and physical tenacity.
Grow your intensity: Clock each round at 3 minutes, resting 1 minute between rounds. With each round, you'll add one punch to your sequence.
Punches per round:
1. Warmup. Strike the bag at 50 percent with a variety of punches
2. Up your power to full strength and launch jabs
3. Jab, throw a cross, and repeat
4. Jab, cross, hook, repeat
5. Jab, cross, hook, uppercut, repeat
6. Jab, cross, hook, uppercut, body punch, repeat
2. LAPD Precision Punch
Your coach: Tim Collins, trainer, Los Angeles Police Dept. Arrest and Control
The perfect pop is built on posture and bone alignment, not fist strength. Use this routine to refine your form.
Set the stance: Leading with your nondominant leg, position your feet shoulder-width apart, with the toe of your dominant foot in line with the heel of your nondominant foot. Your head extends over your shoulders, and your shoulders over your hips. Your knees are slightly bent.
Throw the blow: Step forward with your lead foot and extend your nondominant arm so that your shoulder, elbow, wrist, and front two knuckles are in alignment. Your punch and your foot should land at the same time. Follow up with a cross, regaining with your rear foot the distance you took in your first step. Then come back to your original stance.
Connect the punches: Repeat the sequence, shadowboxing for 3 minutes. Then do another 3-minute round of the same sequence, this time on a heavy bag. That's 1 set. Complete 3 sets, building speed each time. "When you master the strike, it should feel like you're snapping your target with a wet towel," says Collins. Rest 1 minute between each exercise.
3. Middleweight Lightning Hands
Your coach: Michael Olajide Jr.
Shadowboxing allows you to rack up high reps without the resistance of a bag to slow your punches. "You'll tone your shoulders, back, and core, which will help you throw faster punches," Olajide says.
Hit on beat Play five songs that have strong rhythms and last 3 to 4 minutes each. On every fourth beat (count out loud to keep yourself on track), unleash one of the punch combinations below, and then bring your hands back to your starting stance before the next beat. The shifting tempo of some tracks may require you to punch continuously until the song slows.
Combos for each song:
1. Left jab, left jab, right cross
2. Right cross, left jab, right uppercut
3. Left body punch, right body punch, left uppercut
4. Right uppercut, right cross, left hook
5. Right cross, left hook, right hook
