Baltic Dry Index Still Far From 'Meaningful Recovery'
Now's as good a time as any to check in on the good old Baltic Dry Index (BDI).
The index — which measures the cost of shipping dry goods such as grain, coal and iron ore around the world — has bounced back a bit from its collapse earlier this year. But analysts are still skeptical about the recent move higher.
"There is still no sign of a meaningful recovery in the Baltic Dry Index," said Julian Jessop, an economist at Capital Economics. "Admittedly, this largely reflects the continued surge in the supply of cargo ships. Nonetheless, the persistent weakness in shipping costs suggests that underlying demand for commodities remains sluggish too."
The BDI dropped 1.7% to 1074. It has moved higher from its utter free fell earlier this year. At one point it dropped for 32 straight trading days, lost more than 2/3 of its value and tumbled toward financial-crisis levels. It hit a low of 647 in early February.
Since then, it has risen 66%, although it still remains about 50% below where it was in October.
Jessop foresees a scenario in which prices drop from current levels, although such a decline would have more to do with supply issues than actual demand.
"Demand for shipping has rebounded from its late-2008 lows but capacity has risen even faster, causing utilization rates and hence shipping costs to plummet," Jessop says. "Order books for delivery in 2012 suggest that this year will see a further surge in supply, maintaining the downward pressure on prices."
Of course whether the Baltic Dry is actually a useful economic indicator is a hot-button issue. Some look at the Baltic Dry — instead of just commodity prices — as a forward-looking mechanism that might shed a bit more light on actual usage of raw materials. By comparison actual commodity prices can be bought and sold by traders who will never have anything to do with the production of these actual commodities.
But recently the shipping industry hasn't exactly been viewed as the best forward-looking barometer of overall demand for raw materials.
The index suffered a beat down for much of 2009. It began this year just like it did in 2010 and 2011: in freefall. Throughout each of the previous three years the Baltic Dry bottomed in February. But the swoons failed to predict double-dip recessions in 2010 and 2011.
The jury's still out for how the economy will play out in the second half of this year, but many economists expect growth to continuing muddling along.
That said, Jessop recommends investors shouldn't completely dismiss the wider significance of the Baltic Dry:
The supply of shipping is less volatile than demand, meaning that over shorter periods the BDI should still be a good indicator of the health of the global economy. Unlike many others, such as industrial production or the purchasing managers' indices, it is available daily rather than monthly. What's more, the BDI should not be affected by swings in investor sentiment, at least not to the same degree as the prices in the markets for commodities themselves. Speculators might buy futures contracts but are unlikely to charter ships.
The upshot is that the BDI may still contain some useful information. We will continue to watch it closely as one gauge of whether hopes of a second half rebound in commodity demand and prices are justified or not.

This was a really good movie and I highly recommend seeing it in the theaters. I thought that the film was really cool and interesting and different and I had a great time watching it. The film is very smart and it has many themes, in my opinion, and I think all the themes are explored pretty deeply.

This is a drama about three college students who set out to change the male-dominated environment of the Seven Oaks college campus, the film is directed by Whit Stillman and stars Greta Gerwig, Adam Brody and Analeigh Tipton. I thought this film was pretty good and funny and I recommend seeing it in the theaters.

The city of Lakewood was built all at once between 1950 and 1953 – the same years as the Korean War. That conflict left its mark on the city in one particular street name: Bomberry.
DJ Waldie is public information officer for city of Lakewood and author of "California Romantica." He says, "Bomberry in Lakewood is named after Robbie Bomberry, who was a prisoner of war of the North Koreans."
Waldie says Bomberry's story was headline news at the time. He was a Native American from Oklahoma with just one year of high school. He moved to California and enlisted in the Army. In the first weeks of the Korean War, Bomberry's artillery unit was overrun by North Korean tanks. Eighty percent of his unit was slaughtered. Robbie Bomberry was captured. DJ Waldie says Bomberry was a POW for several months.
"He escaped a massacre of prisoners and eventually made his way to friendly lines and was rescued."
Robbie Bomberry lived another four decades. He died in 1992. Bomberry Street in Lakewood is located not far from All Souls Cemetery.

The History of Kefir
The Story Behind This Delectable Beverage
We are gradually uncovering the mysteries behind the delicious beverage we call Kefir, answering your questions about its taste, health benefits, and use in recipes. Today, we'll take a look at the history of Kefir.
Where did the name Kefir come from?
Kefir has been consumed for more than 2000 years. It originated in Europe, supposedly in the Caucasus Mountains. People there drank it for health and longevity, and many lived past 100 years. The name means "long life" or "good life" and is purported to have come from the Turkish word "Keif", which means "good feeling." Yes, we agree – the delicious taste and health benefits of our Wallaby Organic Lowfat Kefir make us feel great from the inside out! And, you can feel even better knowing that, as with all of our Wallaby products, our Kefir is USDA certified organic, gluten-free, and made with milk from local farms.
Why haven't I heard of Kefir before?
Wallaby Yogurt Company strives to create products that our consumers desire, sometimes fulfilling a need they did not even know they had! Today, kefir is widely consumed throughout Eastern and Central Europe, where the drink is associated with improving one's general health and well-being. It can be enjoyed by anyone, from age 2 to 102. While kefir has been around for years, it has just recently been gaining popularity in the U.S. Whether you tried kefir years ago, drink it regularly, or have never even heard of it, we believe our Wallaby Lowfat Organic Kefir is definitely worth a try!
Kefir is a healthy drink for kids, teens, adults and seniors, with plenty of calcium (25% DRI per 1 cup serving) and 12 Live and Active Cultures to keep your digestive system in check.

In the last article, we began with a rather lengthy introduction, into what this series of articles intends to achieve in the study of the Gospel of Thomas.
We will start at the very beginning with the introduction to the gospel itself and the first saying which actually follows from the introduction.
Introduction and the first saying:
These are the secret (a) sayings that Jesus, the One who lives forever (b), spoke to his disciples, and to Thomas, which Thomas the Twin (c) wrote down:
1) And Jesus said, "Whoever will understand the meaning(d) of my words (e) will not taste death."
a) These sayings are considered secret sayings, in that these were meant not for young Christians, but mature Christians, because only mature Christians could grasp them. In ancient times, Christians, both Orthodox and Gnostic, has public gospels and secret or private gospels. This was evidently considered a private gospel to be revealed only to worthy believers who had undergone the initiation into this order to learn the deeper things of the Kingdom of God.
b) or Gk and Coptic literally, "Jesus, the ever living one" or the "ever living Jesus". There is no mention of Jesus as being an actual flesh and blood being, no mention of his crucifixion or his resurrection. If one reads this gospel by itself without reading any other gospel, we might be inclined to think of Jesus as some sort of ethereal being. That may be a Gnosticism but it could also be a reflection on his resurrection and ascension into heaven, and his preexistence by Orthodox Christians. In other words, Jesus transcends the barriers of time and space and lives forever without limit, both into the past and into the future.
c) Thomas itself means "twin". The actual name for this disciple of Jesus was Judas Thomas, who is thought to be either a brother of Jesus and James the Pious One, also Jesus' brother, or a brother of one of the other Jameses mentioned as disciples of Jesus. So this disciple was actually Judas the Twin, literally translating the Aramaic word "Thomas". In Greek, he is called Didymous, which is Greek for "twin.", and Thomas was used as his actual name. So in the Greek and Coptic manuscripts, he is literally referred to as Didymous Thomas, or Thomas the Twin.
d) Gk, Copt. literally, "find the meaning" or "find the interpretation". This passage echoes John 8:51, 52.
e) or "finds the interpretation of these sayings."
The introduction and this saying sets the tone for the whole gospel. We have already mentioned in the notes that these are a list of secret sayings, that is that Jesus revealed a set of teachings meant for mature Christians which are the deeper things of the Kingdom of God.
From a Gnostic perspective, the key to salvation is knowledge (gnosis). So here in this gospel is the basic knowledge that Jesus provides. Hence when Jesus says that the one who understands what he says and applies them will not taste death, he means that the truth that Jesus reveals will being one into salvation and eternal life.
Orthodox Christians would agree with the Gnostic perspective here, but would add to this that it is not just knowledge of Jesus' words and sayings that brings salvation, but knowledge of Jesus himself as revealed in his sayings and also in his work of salvation on the cross. But knowing Jesus himself through his sayings would certainly be a start to attaining salvation.

The fifteen Gods of Theros, making up much of the mythic rarity of this block, are one of the main attractions of the set and the planes. The prospect of a board-changing enchantment that changes into a finisher-quality indestructible creature when you're committed enough to its colors in your permanents is always a cool prospect. But although the God creature type is certainly popular enough to return, as is the keyword devotion, they won't be associated in the future, according to Mark Rosewater, for variety's sake.
When numerological asked Rosewater on his Tumblr blog, "Do you think you would use Devotion to represent Gods in another mythology-inspired plane? How about enchantments as their 'divine power' (though not necessarily Bestow)? I would hope so, it is elegant design," Rosewater answered:
If we do gods again, we would have to figure out what does every god do and what did the Theros gods do that was unique to them.
This oblique answer seems to indicate that the general themes of the Theros Gods might remain intact (having to maintain certain conditions to keep their "favor" and have them active, and making them very difficult to kill, are certainly two big things to do again, since they fit so well with the very concept of a God), but the mechanics of, say, Egyptian-themed Gods would be quite different.
Since an Egypt-like block would probably have a graveyard theme, for example, those Gods would probably check for whether a certain number of cards were put into graveyards each turn in order to have their abilities function, and Norse-like ones might be combat-themed, checking for attacking and blocking creatures.
What other kinds of God creatures would you like to see in Magic's future? Let me know in the comments.

Not every rescue can be as large at Best Friends or Helen Woodward Animal Center, but as long as they are advocating, cats, kittens, puppies and dogs are being saved, serviced and rehomed. Jed Hammen is one such feline advocate, willing to work from the bottom to get to the top.
Hammen has converted his basement into what is now called Hope Animal Rescue. Jed began his venture when he was inspired by a surviving kitten.
Last summer, Hope and her brood of kitten brothers arrived on Jed Hammen's doorstep. At this point, he did not realize that this simple plea for help would begin in him a charitable mission.
You see, Hope and her brothers were all ridden with fleas and ticks; sick and downtrodden. Most people would have just shut the door to the needy creatures, but not Jed. Instead this man, sympathetic to the young animals' plight nursed the litter around the clock. Even though his efforts were sincere, one by one the kittens perished – all except Hope. She was the one surviving kitten!
"I was really inspired. If a little kitten could survive something like that, then I could start this which has always been a dream of mine," Hammen said.
So, now he is in the process of converting his basement into Hope Animal Rescue which is set to open shortly. In fact, this man is so dedicated to rescuing cats and kittens that he is willing to give up any free time to do so. You see, Jed Hammen also works not one, but two full-time jobs.
He does not feel that the added responsibility will be a stressor though. In fact, he feels as though re-homing animals will be a stress relief for him he only wants the animals to find a loving forever home and be happy.
Although Jed is awaiting the final approval from a last-minute inspection, he is hoping that Hope Animal Rescue will be up and running no later than June. He wants this to be a birthday gift to Hope.
Everyone must begin somewhere. Both Best Friends Animal Sanctuary and Helen Woodward Animal Center have been in operation for over 40 years. There are constant changes that occur; restructuring to get the rescue mission down pat.
It is not easy to get an animal rescue going, but once it is going, it is certain to have a group of supporters that will do their best to see it continue to strive forward. Best of luck to Jed Hammen and his efforts to save kittens like Hope from further harm; animal lovers everywhere appreciate your hard work and dedication!

Bodybuilding Diet, Bad Idea
Diet Blog asks the question, Is Your Bodybuilding Diet Plain Stupid? Here's a taste:
Bodybuilding diets are stupid because of the underlying motivation. Bodybuilders are concerned with getting big and getting big quickly. If its not about getting big then it is about getting cut and getting cut quickly. Both of these bodybuilding goals fail to address the scared little guy in the corner - your health.
My many years in the martial arts and bodybuilding gyms have shown me that bodybuilders will almost always put their muscle gains ahead of their health. They will try supplements without knowing the side effects, they will use fat burners without understanding how it works and so on.
If you are sitting there saying: "No, no, no... that's not me" then ask yourself this question: "What negative effects does all that protein you are eating have on your body?"
Can you answer it?
Probably not.
I'm inclined to agree. The concept of "getting big" is dangerous. Take power-lifters and linebackers for example. Dr. Fuhrman explains:
Bulking up is dangerous to one's longevity and power lifters and football linebackers often eat in a way that radically shortens their lives. If you were a weightlifter, for instance, you might improve your chances of muscle growth with more animal products then I recommend, certainly. But my point is too much animal products is not conducive to longevity. But if size is your only goal, go for it.
And that's the point—I've seen it first hand—people living to get big are protein obsessed! From hefty amounts of meat to nonsensical protein shakes. More from Dr. Fuhrman:
Unfortunately, most trainers and bodybuilders are influenced by what they read in exercise and bodybuilding magazines. This is worse than getting nutritional information from comic books. Look through any current bodybuilding magazine; what are the vast majority of advertisements selling? Supplements! Most of the pages in these magazines are devoted to pushing worthless powders and pills. Supplement companies slant the opinions of the magazine article writers. The articles in the magazines are geared to support their advertisers.
Our entire society is on a protein binge, brainwashed with misinformation that we have been hearing since childhood. The educational materials used in most schools have been provided free by the meat, dairy, and egg industries for more than seventy years. These industries have successfully lobbied the government, resulting in favorable laws, subsidies, and advertising propaganda that promote corporate profits at the expense of national health. As a result, Americans have been programmed with dangerous information.
Also, eating too much animal products isn't any better. The risks of consuming too much animal protein and meat are well documented. Dr. Fuhrman again:
For example, Inuit Greenlanders, who historically have had limited access to fruits and vegetables, have the worst longevity statistics in North America. Research from the past and present shows that they die on the average about 10 years younger and have a higher rate of cancer than the overall Canadian population.1
Similar statistics are available for the high meat-consuming Maasai in Kenya. They eat a diet high in wild hunted meats and have the worst life expectancy in the modern world. Life expectancy is 45 years for women and 42 years for men. African researchers report that, historically, Maasai rarely lived beyond age 60. Adult mortality figures on the Kenyan Maasai show that they have a 50% chance of dying before the age of 59.2
Now, the caveman response to all this is, "Ugh! What about complete protein? Me need beef." It's a myth. Jeff Novick, MS, RD discusses the Complementary Protein Myth:
The "incomplete protein" myth was inadvertently promoted in the 1971 book, Diet for a Small Planet, by Frances Moore Lappe. In it, the author stated that plant foods do not contain all the essential amino acids, so in order to be a healthy vegetarian, you needed to eat a combination of certain plant foods in order to get all of the essential amino acids. It was called the theory of "protein complementing."
Frances Moore Lappe certainly meant no harm, and her mistake was somewhat understandable. She was not a nutritionist, physiologist, or medical doctor. She was a sociologist trying to end world hunger. She realized that there was a lot of waste in converting vegetable protein into animal protein, and she calculated that if people just ate the plant protein, many more people could be fed. In a later edition of her book (1991), she retracted her statement and basically said that in trying to end one myth—the unsolvable inevitability of world hunger, she created a second one—the myth of the need for "protein complementing."
In these later editions, she corrects her earlier mistake and clearly states that all plant foods typically consumed as sources of protein contain all the essential amino acids, and that humans are virtually certain of getting enough protein from plant sources if they consume sufficient calories.
If you put in the time and do the research, you'll find that plant sources are the optimal and safest sources of protein. Here's Dr. Fuhrman's chart from Nutrient Density of Green Vegetables:
It's really sad. At my gym, on any given day there at least a few gorillas stuttering around, grunting, and sucking down hype drinks and shakes. Crazy!

College Hockey:2006-07 Finlandia Preview
The Lions enter their third season in the MCHA hoping to continue the progress they have made in their first two. Following up a fourth place finish in their inaugural season with a third place finish last year, Finlandia returns every single player from last season which is reason enough to instill hope in head coach Joe Burcar.
"Our experience is something we can turn to," he said. "Last season there were some games that got away from us and that may have been due to our youth. Now these guys have a season together and know you have bring your 'A' game all the time."
Burcar is certainly accurate when he speaks to the Lions experience, as they have plenty of it no matter where you look.
Having scored 70 points in his first two seasons, junior forward Josh Paquette is certainly the Lions big playmaker but he is only the first name on a list of players with the potential to put up big numbers. Junior Joe Lewis, sophomore Mike Parks, sophomore Ryan Sullivan, junior Jason Aldrich, junior Steve Piccoli (5-12-17) and junior Travis Hanson (5-11-16) are at the head of an extremely deep group of forwards.
"There is no question I'm happy with our depth up front," said Burcar. "We also have a few freshmen coming in this year who are fast and can score as well."
With the depth up front, the Lions defensemen don't do much in terms of offensive production, but according to Burcar are crucial to establishing a hard-nosed physical presence that is essential to their success.
"I'd call it a blue-collar team," he said. "We play a physical style and work hard. The work ethic and physicality is something we can use to make it tough on other teams."
Junior Brad VanTassel (3-6-9), junior Blake Miller (2-4-6) and sophomore Matt Lindgren (0-2-0) comprise the heart of the Lions defense. Also expected to be a key fixture on the Finlandia blue line is transfer Tiger Marcotte. Marcotte will be a sophomore and joins the Lions after a successful freshman season with Utica (ECAC West).
The depth doesn't stop there as the Lions return both goaltenders from last season's team. Senior Joe Juntilla (9-8-2, 4.34, .857) and junior Lukas Alberer (1-5-1, 4.26, .862) are both back, and along with two freshman give the Lions four goaltenders that Burcar is happy with. Despite this, Juntilla is closing in on numerous school records so expect him to see a majority of time this season.
Overall the Lions have plenty to be optimistic about heading into the season. Having returned every player from a team that rose a spot in the standings last season, Finlandia is hoping to move up again this season, though Burcar insists it won't come easy.
"I'm happy with our team, but this league keeps improving," he said. "I like where we are at but there are no gimmes in this league. There are some very good teams at the top, and we just need to keep a good work ethic and come to play every night."
Most intriguing storyline: In only their third season in the MCHA, will Finlandia continue to improve on an already impressive history?

The OAC Junior High State Tournament could be the toughest tournament in Ohio. Unlike the high school state meet which has three separate divisions based upon the size of the schools, the Junior High State meet has one division for all schools. A total of 48 wrestlers in 18 weight classes qualify from eight districts around the state.
Boardman's Carlo DeNiro (138 pounds) and Donovan Turney (209) qualified to wrestle in the tourney at the Covelli Centre. Turney was unable to wrestle due to an injury suffered at practice. DeNiro, an EOWL Middle School champion, recorded a pin in his match on Saturday, then lost 12-4. On Sunday morning, DeNiro had two more wins before falling to 10-3 to Wadsworth's Alex Jones.
Boardman's Daniel Parker (60 pounds, Division I) will compete in this weekend's OAC Grade School State Championships at Covelli. The Grade School State Championships have 1,312 wrestlers who qualified from all over Ohio competing in 41 age divisions and weight classes.

Getting ready to disappear off to explore the route. Should be fun, although it is a tad too hot a day for it to be perfect for cycling and wandering long in the sun. On the other hand, that will bring a lot of people out to enjoy their Sunday outdoors, I hope, walking, cycling, rollerblading, skateboarding, running, etc.
I'll take a snap or two of interesting things and do a post on the event later on, I hope.
Reminder of the event here, and links to details within.

When a person reads Job 1:1-22 you can't help but admire and be in awe of Job's life. He had such a great love and commitment to the Lord. His lifestyle involved a total trust and belief that a relationship with God was more important than anything else.
Job believed that his faithfulness to the Lord would pull his family into the blessings of God. Job not only wanted God's blessings on his life but on his children as well. Notice in Job 1:5 that Job offered burnt offerings for his children in order for them to stay under the umbrella of God's blessings. Also notice that he did this continually!
What are we doing today to pull our children into the blessings of the Lord? Is our lifestyle a life of dedication and commitment to God whereby our offspring will be blessed because we are blessed? Is our influence upon our children drawing them into the Lord or farther away?
The bottom line is that we are either pulling our children into the blessings of God or we are pulling them away from Him. Job did all he could do bring the blessings of God upon his children through his personal devotion and service to God.
Though every child has to make a choice as to whom they will serve, that choice can be influenced by the godly lifestyle of the parents. Choices can also be influenced by bad examples as well.
What did Job do for his children? He initiated their blessings by having a personal lifestyle that was pleasing before the Lord. How well do you want your children blessed? The answer depends upon how committed and devoted you want to be to the Lord as a parent.

Midview Superintendent John Kuhn on Friday pleaded with voters not to use Gov. John Kasich's new funding plan for schools as a reason for rejecting a levy Tuesday.
The district is seeking a 9.75-mill, 10-year emergency levy to stave off drastic cuts, including the shortening of the school day, the elimination of all extracurricular activities such as sports and band, and the cutting of special programming, such as JROTC, as the result of teacher and staff layoffs.
If the levy fails, some of the cuts will occur this school year, and the remainder will be implemented in the fall for the 2013-14 school year.
On Thursday, Kasich announced an overhaul to how schools are funding across the state. The plan was short on specifics, but he pledged to create funding parity between poorer and wealthier districts.
"The governor's plan, at this point, is still just a proposal," Kuhn said in a release Friday. "It still has to go through the legislative process at the state level, and the plan will most likely come out looking quite different than it did going in. Midview is still operating under the current funding model. We still need the levy to pass so we don't have to begin making cuts that will be devastating to our district."
Kuhn said districts are supposed to learn next week how Kasich's plan will impact them. He also noted that Kasich built the plan around the fact that Ohio's economy continues to rebound and grow.
"If the economy stalls or declines, this proposed funding could go away," he said. "It's important for everyone to realize that even if the plan goes through as-is, it will not change our reliance on local tax dollars."
Midview voters have not approved a levy for new money for 19 years; only renewals of levies already in place have passed.
The district opted for a special election — it's the only issue on Tuesday's ballot — in hopes of closing a $2.3 million deficit. The district lost nearly $1.3 million in funding from the state and another $750,000 annually as a result of the elimination of tangible personal property tax. The district had received federal stimulus money beginning in 2009 that was used to offset revenue declines, but that money was available for only three years and is now gone.

The deep sea is in trouble. A recent study has found that it's being damaged by human activities, and that this is only likely to get worse. Scientists are now calling for better management and conservation of entire deep-sea ecosystems.
It's so 'out of sight, out of mind' that people have used the deep sea as a dumping ground for hundreds of years. While this is still a problem, the report's authors say that the deep sea's most pressing threat now comes from exploitation and the effects of climate change.
The deep sea – classed as waters deeper than 200 metres – covers 360 million square kilometres and makes up around half of the Earth's surface, making it the largest environment and last great wilderness on Earth. Depths average nearly four kilometres, but reach almost 11 kilometres at the deepest trench on Earth, the Marianas Trench.
It's an understudied, alien world. But far from being devoid of life, it's teeming with unusual creatures that can survive the darkness and immense pressures. It's also full of valuable resources: fish, minerals, and – under the seafloor – oil and gas. This makes it particularly prone to exploitation.
But how exactly do our activities affect the deep sea?
'It's a difficult question to answer, because we know comparatively little about it,' says Professor Paul Tyler from the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, co-author of the study, published in PLoS One this month. 'But during scientific trawls back in the 80s, it wasn't uncommon to bring up oil drums, and that's just in one small area.'
In an attempt to answer this question, a team of 20 researchers from countries all over the world gathered for a workshop as part of the 10-year Census of Marine Life (COML) initiative. The COML project's aim was to assess and explain the diversity, distribution, and abundance of life in the oceans.
The scientists analysed the past, present and future effects of human activities on deep-sea habitats, focussing specifically on disposal, exploitation, and climate change - including ocean acidification.
'People often think of the deep sea as 'the big, wet bit out there.' But it's a big series of ecosystems. You get valleys, mountains, volcanoes and plains on land; it's the same variation in the deep sea, plus the water,' says Tyler.
Dumping waste used to be the biggest problem: plastic, glass and metal are the most common types of litter found on the deep-sea floor.
'Between 1973 and 1978, more than 387,000 tonnes of pharmaceutical waste was dumped in the Puerto Rico Trench. This is equivalent to 880 Boeing 747s,' write the researchers.
While disposing of some waste like sewage, pharmaceuticals and low-level radioactive material in the sea is now banned, the dumped waste stays on the sea floor, so it remains a problem.
Right now, exploitation is the number one problem for the deep sea. Technological developments let us exploit the deep sea's mineral wealth, prospect for oil and gas, and harvest vast quantities of fish.
Together with climate change, this means the region is facing, 'large and accelerating challenges.' But as this century goes on, Tyler and his co-authors say that climate change will overtake exploitation as the most damaging activity.
Climate change will make our oceans more acidic, which could cause problems for corals and creatures with chalky skeletons like starfishes, sea urchins and sea cucumbers. 'Today's climate change is happening so quickly that evolutionary change is struggling to keep up,' the authors say.
One of the barriers to better management of the deep sea is that activities like dumping waste, fishing and climate change are altering the deep sea much quicker than scientists can study it.
'One of the main problems that continue to cause concern is that the fastest movers in the deep sea are those who want to use it as a service provider,' says Tyler. 'Lagging behind somewhat are the scientists, managers and legislators.'
'You could argue that legislation should come first, then science, then exploitation.'
The scientists conclude: 'The implementation of regulatory measures in the high seas - 64 per cent of the global ocean - requires a review and changes to the existing UNCLOS legislation to provide wider protection.' The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) is an agreement that defines the rights and responsibilities of nations in their use of the world's oceans.

While glass and metal are arguably similar in mineral content to the minerals normally found on the ocean bed, plastics are very different. Inquisitive cattle eating plastic bags usually die; for the simple reason that unless caught in time, the plastic blocks the gut causing rupture. I am sure that the same happens in the marine environment. Furthermore airborne plastic based pollutants are absorbed at the surface of the ocean and accumulate in the fat of all marine species, causing severe health problems at the top of the food chain. Finally, permission to abstract oil from under the artic ocean will inevitably result in further heat increases to the system, accelerating melting of the ice sheet and the demise of its denizens. Even exploitation of the 'smokers' along our mid ocean ridges, is likely to expand greatly, if the initial exercise proves to be successful. We do need to make the politicans of the world face the facts and realize that the bigger the population the greater the demands will be. So they have to help populations to decrease in size in a timely fashion. For me it is this ever increasing need for limited resources that is the crux of the problem.

Firebird SQL fbserver 'connect' Buffer Overflow VulnerabilityTPTI-07-11: June 11th, 2007
Affected Vendors
Affected Products
TippingPoint™ IPS Customer ProtectionTippingPoint IPS customers are protected against this vulnerability by Digital Vaccine protection filter ID 5067. For further product information on the TippingPoint IPS:
Vulnerability DetailsThis vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Firebird SQL. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the database service fbserver.exe, which binds to TCP port 3050. The service receives socket data in the following format:
[4-byte request][request arguments][data]
A vulnerability exists in Firebird SQL when specifying a "connect" request (0x1). The request is broken down as such.
typedef struct p_cnct
P_OP p_cnct_operation; /* OP_CREATE or OP_OPEN */
USHORT p_cnct_cversion; /* Version of connect protocol */
P_ARCH p_cnct_client; /* Architecture of client */
CSTRING p_cnct_file; /* File name */
USHORT p_cnct_count; /* Protocol versions understood */
CSTRING p_cnct_user_id; /* User identification stuff */
struct p_cnct_repeat
USHORT p_cnct_version; /* Protocol version number */
P_ARCH p_cnct_architecture; /* Architecture of client */
USHORT p_cnct_min_type; /* Minimum type */
USHORT p_cnct_max_type; /* Maximum type */
USHORT p_cnct_weight; /* Preference weight */
When a large value for p_cnct_count is specified an unchecked loop occurs during the XDR processing of the packet. This can be abused by overwriting the local rem_port structure and its vtables. In particular the rem_port->receive function pointer which will be called on the next iteration of XDR processing. The vulnerable code looks like this:
for (i = 0, tail = connect->p_cnct_versions; i < connect->p_cnct_count; i++, tail++)
MAP(xdr_short, reinterpret_cast
MAP(xdr_enum, reinterpret_cast
MAP(xdr_u_short, tail->p_cnct_min_type);
MAP(xdr_u_short, tail->p_cnct_max_type);
MAP(xdr_short, reinterpret_cast
Where the size of tail should be checked during the loop operation.

ANC: M&G story on newspaper ad cuts 'mischievous'
The ANC denies allegations in the Mail & Guardian this week that the party plans to cut advertising to three newspapers as 'punishment'.
The ANC denies allegations in the Mail & Guardian this week that the party plans to cut advertising to three newspapers as 'punishment'.
The national broadcaster has cancelled a series of City Press adverts, which refer to the Marikana massacre and the EFF, according to the newspaper.
At the EFF's final rally, Julius Malema had some choice expressions in Sepedi for his opponents. We translated some of the highlights of his speech.
Press Ombudsman, Johan Retief, said he was impressed with the manner in which City Press and the ANC handled a complaint about a published story.
City Press editor Ferial Haffajee has taken leave after a week in which claims of racism rocked the newspaper.
City Press is probing racism claims after a spat between its editor and a group of journalists who, reports say, will press charges against her.
The Economic Freedom Fighters has called City Press editor Ferial Haffajee's "suspension" of eight black journalists "unethical".
A former ANN7 employee says he fears for his life after turning down a severance package and was threatened by an alleged ANN7 bodyguard.
The press ombudsman has ordered Rapport and City Press to publish an apology for causing unnecessary harm to paralympian Oscar Pistorius.
City Press says it stands by its decision to publish a controversial column described by some as "dripping with anti-Indian hatred".
A public discussion around Adriaan Basson's new book has given Chris Roper a sleepless night.
Paul Mashatile and some of our comrades believe in the fallacy that ANC delegates will discuss how our leaders have performed since 2007.

The Nkandla homestead appears to have been declared a national key point and thus subject to blanket secrecy.
According to a report, President Zuma dismissed Cele for his "dishonest" role in the awarding of a R1.7-billion contract for police accommodation.
The Goodman Gallery has appealed a ruling that children should be protected from the 'Spear' painting, saying the FPB does not have the authority.
Songstress Simphiwe Dana pens a letter to City Press editor, Ferial Haffajee, on the role "The Spear" had in dehumanising black people.
In the fortnight of "The Spear" madness, did anyone spare a thought for the long-suffering news anchors who had the prickly task of telling the story?
Although President Zuma could force local internet service providers to make "The Spear" disappear from their servers, it would be a Pyrrhic victory.
City Press has opted to remove "The Spear" from its website, despite the apparent failure of the ANC's call for a boycott on the paper.

Make no mistake about it the Wynne Yellowjackets had a tough fight on their hands at Cad Polk Stadium Friday night. However, the Jackets managed to score late in the contest and pulled out a 20-13 win over the Central Cougars. On the opening possession Wynne drove the ball right down the field only to be met by a stubborn host of Cougar defenders inside the red zone. The Yellowjackets' first drive of the night came up empty following a solid goal line stance by Central. Central took a 13-6 lead on a 57-yard scoring pass from quarterback Curley Brewer to Markease Williams in the second quarter. The Cougars took that lead into the locker room at the half. Wynne scored 14 unanswered points in the second half. What turned out to be the winning score came with 8:18 to play. Central had a couple of scoring opportunities but simply could not convert. The Cougars entered the contest as heavy underdogs having lost to Wynne on the Jackets' home turf a year ago by a lopsided 43-0 score. Central, 1-2, opens 5A Central Conference play here next Friday night against the Jacksonville Red Devils.

WASHINGTON – The U.S. House of Representatives approved legislation Wednesday that will rename the Sharon Center Post Office after longtime Sharon Township Trustee Emil Bolas.
House Resolution 4602 now goes to the U.S. Senate for consideration.
Naming the post office after Bolas is a proper way to thank a man who served his community and the country in an honorable way, said U.S. Rep. John Boccieri, D-Alliance, who sponsored the legislation.
"Mr. Bolas' commitment to leadership and dedication to our community sets an example for all of Sharon Township, Medina County and the state of Ohio," Boccieri said in a statement this morning.
Bolas served nearly nine consecutive terms, or 35 years, as trustee and 11 years as the Zoning Appeals Board chairman in Sharon Township before his death in 2008.

Manually turning off the gas service shutoff valve is the most common method to stop the flow of gas serving a building, or part of a building, in case of an emergency. Gas service shutoff valves are installed by PG&E at all gas meter locations or outside locations if the meter is not accessible from the outside.
Some cities and counties have regulations that require the installation of automatic gas shutoff devices, which may include excess flow gas shutoff valves and/or earthquake actuated gas shutoff valves. Regulations vary, but generally apply to new building construction, or significant alterations or additions to existing buildings. Check with your local city or county agency to see if regulations apply in your area.
If a customer installs an excess flow gas shutoff valve or earthquake actuated gas shutoff valve, it should be one that is certified by the State of California and it should be installed by a licensed plumbing contractor in accordance to the manufacturers instructions. PG&E does not install or service seismic actuated or excess flow gas shutoff valves, or recommend specific contractors for customer applications.
The State of California is required to approve all excess flow gas shutoff valves and earthquake actuated gas shutoff valves used in the State of California. A list of approved valves is available on the DSA Gas Shut-off Valves Certification Program webpage.
Excess flow gas shutoff valves and earthquake actuated gas shutoff valves must be installed on the buildings gas houseline piping (the gas pipe connecting your appliances to the gas meter) downstream of the utility point of delivery; i.e. after the PG&E gas shutoff valve, pressure regulator (if installed), meter(s), and the service tee. No attachments or connections of any kind are allowed on utility facilities prior to the point where the service tee connects to the gas houseline piping. Once installed, the valve must not obstruct the operation or serviceability of PG&E's piping, gas service shutoff valve, gas meter or gas pressure regulating equipment.
In the event that a gas service shutoff valve or an automatic gas shutoff device is closed, there may be a considerable delay before PG&E can turn your service on, but do not turn it on yourself. PG&E or another qualified professional should perform a safety check, restore gas service, and relight any appliance pilots, even if the closure was not caused by an earthquake.

Visiting London the Second Time Around
Second-timers are smart guys. They have this been-there-done-that attitude and seldom care for repeating their first experience. Who would be interested in the same old attractions if you have already taken pictures of them during your first visit?
I think it's this common psychological phenomenon, which largely explains why second-timers tend to extend their experience or pursue new directions and unbeaten paths.
It's Cool to Have Friends in London
A good friend of mine, who now works and lives in London, was so kind that she invited me to this wonderful city for the second time this April. Either she forgot how it felt to have guests at home for a week, or missed my enthusiasm about exploring London, but there I was, at Heathrow airport, having to buy my Oyster card again. [This is a pass for bus, tube, trams and other forms of transportation in and around London - ed]
Staying with friends when you're on a trip is a unique travel experience on its own, as you get a chance to see the place from the inside, avoid mistakes many tourists make, see places you'd otherwise have missed out on, and simply have more fun.
If not for my friends, I'd never have experienced many wonderful places in London, including the Wimbledon area, the part of London where they rent their nice apartment.
All of London, and Then Some
I saw most classical attractions on my first trip: admired the Big Ben and Houses of Parliament, crossed the Tower Bridge, and other bridges over the Thames, visited St. Paul's Cathedral, witnessed soldiers and guards marching near the Buckingham Palace and walked around the Piccadilly Circus, the City, and Soho.
We shopped on Oxford Street, took pictures from the London Eye, visited the British Museum, searched for sense at Tate Modern, marveled at pictures in the National Gallery, ate fish and chips and drank English ale in pubs.
So before my second visit I was kindly asked what else I wanted to see in London. As a true second-timer, I named Stonehenge and Brighton, both outside London.
The first day after my arrival we headed for Stonehenge, which is located near Salisbury. We took the South West train from London to Salisbury and then got on the tour bus at the Salisbury station.
The bus, Old Sarum and the admission to Stonehenge with audio guide cost 17.50 pounds for adults. There is a special schedule for each season, so I'd recommend visiting thestonehengetour.info before you go.
Many people I know are skeptical about looking at stones as an entertainment. Stonehenge is basically a circle of giant stones on Salisbury Plain. But the mysterious part of it is that the stones have been there for over 4000 years and researchers can only guess how they were brought to this isolated place.
Stonehenge is associated with numerous legends and myths, which you will learn about on the audio tour. It may have been the sacred place used for rituals, or an ancient astronomical observatory.
I must admit that Stonehenge is not an ordinary tourist attraction, but a very powerful place in terms of energy, philosophy and history. I found myself going in circles around the stones, stopping and staring at them at different angles for several minutes.
There are tourists from all over the world in Stonehenge admiring the silent beauty of the stones and the cute sheep grazing nearby. Audio guides were very helpful; as they explained practically every step we took. At the entrance we were asked what language we preferred, as they had audio guides in 10 different languages. There's a nice souvenir shop on the way back where you can buy something that will remind you of this unique site.
I'd recommend a trip to Stonehenge to everyone, irrespective of their age, attitude to mysteries and their skepticism level. Don't plan any other significant activities when you go to Stonehenge, as it would probably take your whole day.
Notting Hill and Portobello Market
Did I mention how cool it was to have friends in London? My other friend rents a room in a beautiful two-level Victorian house in famous Notting Hill area (Holland Park station).
Of course, we used this dazzling opportunity to walk around Notting Hill with its beautiful and very expensive houses and yards, where many celebrities reside. This trendy area was made famous by the movie starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, but it deserves attention on its own.
It was Saturday, the market day, so we also shopped around Portobello Market, one of the most famous street markets in the world.
A world-famous antiques market offers numerous galleries and arcades with collectibles of 1960s or even Roman times. Even if you have never taken interest in antiques, you'll find yourself bargaining for a brooch or a silver teapot.
There is a range of shops and specialist suppliers, so you can find there literally everything you can think of: tasty food, books, clothes, shoes, souvenirs, flowers, etc. It is a very popular place for both Londoners and tourists, and has a very special authentic atmosphere.
The National Portrait Gallery
On my first visit I spent many hours in the National Gallery. This time we extended the arts experience to the National Portrait Gallery.
As we were heading for the Portrait Gallery, which is located on Trafalgar Square (Leicester Square or Charing Cross stations), we got into a very funny and awkward situation. This prompts me to warn the readers against sitting on the benches under the trees of the Trafalgar Square.
This is a very nice place where you can relax and eat a freshly-made sandwich from Prêt-a-Manger, but please, mind the pigeons in the trees above you!
The National Portrait Gallery houses the works of a number of époques and plenty of styles. The collection is arranged in chronological order, from the Middle Ages to the present day: the Tudors, centuries from 17th to 20th, the Victorians, Contemporaries, Special Exhibitions and Displays.
There are over 1,000 portraits featuring men and women who played significant roles in British history, as well as many of those who continue to be popular at present.
You can spend days in this gallery going from one room to another, admiring the portraits and their ability to seize the moment and communicate it to the viewer. Just like the British Museum, National Gallery and Tate Modern, the Portrait Gallery is free of charge.
Tower Bridge Engine Rooms
Tower Bridge (Tower Hill station) is the landmark I couldn't resist admiring for the second time. But this time we went further, or rather, higher.
For a fee of seven pounds we went up to the high-level walkways to the Tower Bridge Exhibition and the Victorian Engine Rooms.
Up 140 feet above the Thames there's a great view of London. We learned about the Tower Bridge creation history, how it worked, as well as learned about other world-famous bridges in different countries around the globe.
Soho Lobster
There are other things you can never refuse to experience again: eating a grilled lobster at Randall and Aubin is definitely one of them. I fell in love with their lobsters during my first visit, and believe it or not, it was one of the reasons I came back.
If you are also a seafood lover, this oyster bar in Soho, 16 Brewer Street, is the place to go. Fresh seafood, good wine, great service and unforgettable atmosphere is what it's all about.
Expect to wait in line for a vacant table if you come on a busy evening. You can admire the size of mouth-watering lobsters and oysters, choose what you'll order and have a glass of wine meanwhile. Visit their site to see the menu. We paid around 55 pounds for a whole roast lobster with some garnish and house red wine.
If you are into underground club experience, in every sense of this word, hurry. Shunt, the club under the railway arches of London Bridge station, has announced to close at the end of this year.
Yes, you got it right, it is located in the underground, and looks like a dark and cool cave. I panicked when my friend's co-worker led us through the black door into the tunnel. We were asked to give our IDs for scanning, paid 10 pounds in cash and as the door closed behind us I suddenly felt I was getting into something dangerous and a bit surrealistic.
Shunt is all in one: a performing arts club, a bar, a lounge, and a night club with multiple dance floors. It is a unique experience, and what's more, - a different experience every time you visit. Each week there are different artists including art, performance arts, installations, dance, live bands and DJs.
Basically, as you go along the tunnel, you can go into different rooms with different things happening, rooms where bands are playing, where you can do arts and crafts, see various groups performing etc.
Shunt is also all kinds of different music, but it is not their strongest point. It is a place for "sensory experiences," with music being only one of many. When our sensors got experienced enough, we found a chill spot to sit and have a drink.
I remember I was reluctant to go to the club that evening as I didn't have a cocktail dress on, but when I got there I realized that my old pair of jeans and sneakers looked just right. People would have thought I was one of the performers if I'd worn a dress and heels. Check out their site: shunt.co.uk/ and make it a special point in your entertainment program to drop there when you are in London.
Jazz Café in Camden
I love jazz. A jazz café or a concert of jazz music was high on my second-time-in-London to-do list. We chose a famous Jazz Café in Camden Town, which is quite a remarkable place on its own.
We arrived early and had to wait for the concert at the cocktail bar for a couple of hours. The ticket price depends on the concert and whether it is a standing or table seating. We paid over 30 pounds per person for unreserved standing.
That night I didn't have a chance to listen to jazz, but there were American guests, R&B singers Chante Moore and Kenny Lattimore, who showed great performance and whose music I loved.
I also liked the place and recommend anyone who loves jazz, soul, reggae, hip hop, live concerts and is looking for a special evening's entertainment in London to visit jazzcafe.co.uk and choose the night to their musical tastes.
London-by-the-Sea: Brighton
My last but not least discovery on my second visit to UK was Brighton and the English Sea. This coastal city is one hour away by train from central London.
A seaside resort, Brighton is a popular weekend getaway for those living in London and other big cities of England, as well as for numerous tourists.
We walked along the pebble sea shore and strolled about Brighton Pier. If you buy fish and chips and take part in some traditional entertainments, like fairground rides, games, puppet shows which are plenty on the pier, you may say you have had true English seacoast experience.
I've never seen more kids in one place than on the Brighton Pier. [See the author's Brighton Beach Photogallery.]
You won't miss the Royal Pavilion in Brighton. It is a spectacular building in Indian style, built as a seaside holiday home for William IV. It is open to public, though it was undergoing reconstruction when we were there.
So instead we admired the gardens, which were splendid in spring blossom. Brighton combines historical heritage with modern styles, which makes this city interesting for all.
Samuel Johnson was definitely right, saying "… when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford."
There are always experiences you'd like to refresh or extend in London, and there's always something new waiting for you to discover. You are never tired of this city as it has plenty to offer, no matter whether it is your second or third or who-counts-what time in London.
