CO2 between sea and sky
Oceans are huge carbon reservoirs or "sinks". Without them, the effects of global warming would be much more obvious than they are today – and evident for the past two centuries. Nevertheless, at the present rate of anthropogenic CO2 emissions these gigantic reservoirs seem to be arriving at saturation point. To understand this phenomenon, a European research programme, CarboOcean, has been investigating the oceans of the world in search of indicators making it possible to assess the remaining CO2 absorption potential and the consequences of possible saturation.
For CO2, water and air are both pretty much the same. It migrates easily from one to the other, seeking to inhabit these two environments as uniformly as possible. When the carbon concentration in the air increases, as it has been doing for decades, the ocean absorbs the surplus and restores the balance. However, while the behaviour of CO2 in the air is relatively stable, at sea many interactions come into play that essentially relate to two principal mechanisms: the physical pump and the biological pump.
The odyssey of oceanic carbon
The physical pump operates by virtue of the thermohaline ocean circulation, a vast global heat exchanger. At the poles, seawater cools considerably, its salinity increasing as the ice sheet forms which excludes the salt. This colder and more salty water is consequently denser and sinks to the ocean depths. It is there that it begins its long journey to the tropics where it heats up again, rising back to the surface as it becomes less dense before making the return journey to the poles. It is a round trip of around 80 000 km, which it takes a water molecule a thousand years to complete at the rate of a few millimetres a second. This is the ocean "conveyor belt" which draws in part of the carbon dioxide present in our atmosphere like a pump. The cooler the water the more carbon dioxide can be absorbed by it. CO2 is captured in large quantities by the polar waters where it descends to the ocean depths. Several centuries later, when the waters arrive in tropical zones, they heat up and become saturated with CO2 that then returns to the atmosphere.
Nevertheless, part of the carbon dissolved in water does not join this circuit but is consumed directly by the phytoplankton during photosynthesis and then by other marine bodies as part of the food chain. This is the principle of the biological pump. The organic matter that originates from these marine organisms – excrement, corpses – is recycled in the surface waters and, in a period of time ranging from a few days to a few months, the CO2 it contained returns to the atmosphere. However, about a tenth of this organic mass is exported – the term used by the experts – to deeper waters. There the carbon remains for hundreds or thousands of years, or even for geologic timescales if it is deposited on the seabed in the form of marine sediment.
Has the physical pump broken down?
These two mechanisms, especially the physical pump and to a lesser extent the biological pump, are able to store, at least temporarily, a large part of the anthropogenic CO2 emitted into the air. But in what proportion? And until when? And what if the ocean carbon reservoir were to become saturated, what would be the consequences then?
These are all questions that the vast CarboOcean European research programme has been seeking to answer since 1 January 2005. "We want to better quantify the masses of CO2 that the oceans have absorbed since the beginning of the industrial era (200 years ago), are absorbing today, and will continue to absorb in the future, until around the year 2200," explains Christoph Heinze, the coordinator of the CarboOcean project. Included under the Sixth Framework Programme and allocated a budget of €14.5 million from the European Commission – out of a total research budget of around €20 million – CarboOcean is focusing mainly on the Atlantic Ocean, including the Arctic and the Southern Ocean. "The first results of our analyses," continues Christoph Heinze, "suggest that the physical pump in the North Atlantic, which exports CO2 to the ocean depths, is not functioning as well as it used to. A number of hypotheses can explain this, but we are waiting for more information before drawing conclusions about the causes and effects of this slowing. We recently observed the same phenomenon in the Southern Ocean."
Priming the biological pump?
For many years, researchers have noticed that at certain locations around the world – Southern Ocean, East Equatorial Pacific, North Pacific – the biological pump has also been slowing, due to a lack of phytoplankton. Some believed it would be enough simply to restart it for more CO2 to be absorbed from the atmosphere.
But why was it slowing? Because the phytoplankton lacked iron. Experiments carried out since 1993 show in fact that iron is an essential nutrient for the growth of microalgae. Adding small quantities of iron to the ocean would surely then enable the phytoplankton to regain their strength, thereby increasing the level of CO2 captured by photosynthesis. But for Stéphane Blain, director of the Keops (Kerguelen Ocean and Plateau compared Study) expedition, "these experiments left room for doubt. Because while it is true that this fertilisation results in increased biological activity at the surface – photosynthesis for example – the question of what proportion of absorbed CO2 penetrates to the seabed remains open. And it is this transfer to the seabed that really indicates that the biological pump is operating." Commercial companies such as Planktos have no hesitation in pushing ahead despite this uncertainty. These operate on the relatively simple principle of selling CO2 credits to polluting companies or authorities so that they can show a zero balance for their CO2 emissions. Planktos then compensates for the emissions of its clients by investing, for example, in reforestation projects on continents. But it also plans shortly to propose the fertilisation of phytoplanktonic zones. However, there is nothing to say that the operation will be profitable, and that CO2 will be exported to the ocean depths in the long term. The initial experiments have in any event left the scientists very sceptical, and that is without taking into account the undesirable effects.
To shed light on this delicate question, the Keops expedition carried out observations at the beginning of 2005 in the area of the Kerguelen oceanic plateau in the Southern Ocean. This area was selected especially for its seasonal plankton bloom. "This is clearly due to an iron influx," explains Stéphane Blain. "This iron comes naturally from the deepest ocean beds. Studying the reasons for this input was one aspect of our research, but another aspect was to observe the consequences. That made us realise just how effective the natural system is for exporting CO2 to the ocean depths, but also that the conditions for this natural input are completely different from what one can hope to obtain artificially by adding iron to the surface layers. While it is true that an artificial iron contribution boosts the capture of CO2 by surface waters one cannot go further and say that there is a lasting export of CO2 to the deeper waters."
CO2 + H2O = carbonic acid
When CO2 dissolves in water, the resulting chemical reaction produces carbonic acid. In other words, the CO2 absorbed by the ocean, even naturally, increases the acidity in the water. Before the industrial age, oceanic pH (1) was 8.16, while today it is no more than 8.05. At present rates of carbon emissions into the air and its absorption by the oceans, the pH is likely to be around 7.60 in 2100.
But as Christoph Heinze reminds us, "The survival of many marine organisms, many of which are at the base of the food chain in ocean environments, is partly dependent on pH. Acidification can therefore have the effect of changing the life in the oceans. Organisms with calcareous shells will be the most vulnerable." "If the oceanic carbon sinks continue to weaken," concludes the CarboOcean coordinator, "we will probably have to revise present greenhouse gas emission scenarios downwards, meaning communities will have to reduce their energy consumption, the major contributor to atmospheric CO2."
Matthieu Lethé
- On the scale of acidity measurements, the most acid materials have a pH of 0, the more alkaline substances having a pH of 14 and pure water, which is neutral, a pH of 7

Nimrod (Hebrew: נמרוד, Nimrōḏ; Greek: Νεβρωδ, Nebrōḏ; Arabic: نمرود, Nimrūḏ; "Name means::rebellion") is described in Genesis 10:8-12 as a great hunter, warrior, and leader, who founded several cities in Mesopotamia, including Babylon, Uruk, Akkad, Kalneh, Shinar and possibly Nineveh.
Genesis 10:6-8 tells us that Ham's son Cush had two first-born sons: Raamah and Nimrod (both Cushites), Cush. However Nimrod is not listed in Cush's genealogy in Genesis 10:6 . This may indicate that another Cush is referred to in verse 8, or that Nimrod was descended from Cush via some generations that aren't listed (as was sometimes done in Biblical genealogies).
All of the sons listed in verse 6 settled in Africa, while Nimrod's kingdom is clearly in Mesopotamia. Raamah's territory was in Arabia and his two first-born sons were Dedan and Sheba. Nimrod's territory was in the Tigris-Euphrates region. The most likely explanation is that Nimrod was indeed a son of Cush, however due to some quarrel he became estranged. This estrangement also could explain Nimrod's exclusion from Genesis 10:6.
Nimrod's first-born son by his cousin bride was Asshur the Younger, named after Shem's son, Asshur the Elder.
Secular interpretations
Some scholars have speculated that Nimrod was the Hebrew name for Sargon I of Akkad, a leader who came from western lands to establish a kingdom in Mesopotamia. However, Sargon is generally considered to be a Semite (a descendant of Shem), not a descendant of Ham via Cush, as Nimrod seems to be.

Qt 4.5 Under Lesser GPL
Nokia will offer its Qt widget collection software under less restrictive LGPL licensing and has opened up its repositories.
Nokia has announced that as of March 2009 its planned Qt 4.5 will be available under the optional Lesser General Public License. At the same time Nokia will open the Qt source code repositories to enable as easy an access as possible for further community development. The Finnish mobile giant took this step in an agreement with the KDE Free Qt Foundation. The company issued an FAQ to describe the LGPL move to the community and commercial interests.
The announcement on the new Qt webpage declares that Nokia wants to remove all hurdles from use of its software through the licensing change. It seems that the previous cost-based licensing had dissuaded many firms from implementing the Qt widget sets. The change is also an advantage for the open source community in that Qt also remains under GPLv3 licensing, with LGPL as an additional option.
Positive reinforcement for the move comes from KDE e.V. board member Sebastian Kügler: "Qt being available under the terms of the LGPL streamlines the licensing of applications built using KDE components on top of Qt-based applications. This more permissive licensing will further lower the barrier for adoption of Qt and KDE technologies. The KDE team welcomes opening up the development process and is looking forward to further improved collaboration between KDE and Qt Software."
The KDE project first and foremost welcomes opening up its repositories. KDE developers are thus free to fix Qt bugs without relying solely on the goodwill of Nokia. The KDE libraries are already under LGPL, thereby enabling commercial KDE application development such as for Mac OS X and Windows.
Ubuntu's Mark Shuttleworth also sanctioned the move: "Qt is used extensively in Kubuntu and KDE applications, and Canonical is delighted to see this breakthrough in its licensing model. Qt's new licensing terms will help us deliver ever more 'lustful' applications to users. Nokia's continued investment in cross-platform Qt libraries, and the Linux platform, is a major driver of innovation in the free software desktop and mobile device stack."
The licensing change will occur as of Qt 4.5, planned for March 2009. Nokia acquired Qt from Trolltech in January 2008 and is currently working on a port for the Series60 (formerly Symbian) mobile OS. The company has clearly indicated its commitment to Open Source over the last year.

"Just lost steam on this series. A very MEH ending"
Poor UNRAVELED. This was another series I just waited too long to finish and I totally lost steam with it. I ended up actually grabbing the audiobook for this to make some progress and finally finish out this series but I just couldn't quite get into it. I also do feel like a good book is still a good book and even though I took a long time to read UNRAVELED, that wasn't the only issue. I really wasn't able to fall back into it and this book really lost the familiarity for me. I felt like the characters had changed — which isn't a bad thing at all — but I did miss the banter and sarcasm that I felt was much more prevalent in the first two books.
I also had a bit of trouble with the fact that there were some things that popped up in this book that I don't remember at all from CREWEL or UNALTERED. Yes, they were things that would have popped up later in the series and especially in a conclusion but I love when authors are able to layer their books/series so things so huge and series-changing at least have a small mention before they alter the entire course of a book. I did struggle with a few things like that with UNRAVELED and I just wish there was at least some mention of some of these really large concepts before they came into play.
I was actually fairly disappointed with the ending. I suppose it's more of a personal preference but the way that everything played out seemed abrupt and unsatisfying. I was working on catching up to all of these major ideas and concepts and then once it was all over, it took a bit too long to wrap up. Without spoiling anything, it really there was one final question to answer and I just wasn't happy with how it was answered and how long it took for the one final reveal.
There were things that I enjoyed about the book while reading/listening but looking back on it now, I feel like I barely remember what happened and everything else was more of a memory of what I had read in CREWEL and ALTERED. Again, I think it was mostly the fact that I just took so long to finish this series. I think I could have been in a higher rating-range had I read it sooner but I also think it still wouldn't have been a stellar finish for me no matter what.
I wasn't going to write a review about this but I am chomping at the bit about how it ends! WHAT!!??? Ok I get the ending, but does anyone else? I need to say it out loud. It hurts not to say it. If you read books 1 & 2 you must read this one. This was the most frustrating book I've ever read but I am happy I read it. Hope that makes sense. What and Wow is all I can say without giving anything away. Just read/Listen to it!

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
Each day in this country, twenty-three hundred children are reported missing.
Of those, a large portion are abducted by one parent estranged from the other, and over fifty percent of the time the child's whereabouts are never in question. The majority of these children are returned within a week.
Another portion of those twenty-three hundred children are runaways. Again, the majority of them are not gone long, and usually their whereabouts are either known immediately or easily ascertained--a friend's house is the most common destination.
Another category of missing children is the throwaway--those who are cast out of their homes or who run away, and the parents decide not to give chase. These are often the children who fill shelters and bus terminals, street comers in the red-light districts, and, ultimately, prisons.
Of the more than eight hundred thousand children reported missing nationally every year, only thirty-five hundred to four thousand fall into what the Department of Justice categorizes as Non-Family Abductions, or cases in which the police soon rule out family abductions, running away, parental ejection, or the child becoming lost or injured.
Of these cases, three hundred children disappear every year and never return.
No one--not parents, friends, law enforcement, childcare organizations, or centers for missing people--knows where these children go. Into graves, possibly; into cellars or the homes of pedophiles; into voids, perhaps, holes in the fabric of the universe where they will never be heard from again.
Wherever these three hundred go, they stay gone. For a moment or two they hauntstrangers who've heard of their cases, haunt their loved ones for far longer.
Without a body to leave behind, proof of their passing, they don't die. They keep us aware of the void.
And they stay gone.
"My sister," Lionel McCready said, as he paced our belfry office, "has had a very difficult life." Lionel was a big man with a slightly houndish sag to his face and wide shoulders that slanted down hard from his collarbone, as if something we couldn't see sat atop them. He had a shaggy, shy smile and a firm grip in a callused hand. He wore a brown UPS deliveryman's uniform and kneaded the brim of the matching brown baseball cap in his beefy hands. "Our mom was a--well, a boozer, frankly. And our dad left when we were both little kids. When you grow up that way, you--I guess you--maybe you got a lot of anger. It takes some time to get your head straight, figure out your way in life. It's not just Helene. I mean, I had some serious problems, took a hard bust in my twenties. I was no angel."
"Lionel," his wife said.
He held up a hand to her, as if he had to spit it out now or he'd never spit it out at all. "I was lucky. I met Beatrice, straightened my life out. What I'm saying, Mr. Kenzie, Miss Gennaro, is that if you're given time, a few breaks, you grow up. You shake that crap. My sister, she's still growing up, what I'm saying. Maybe. Because her life was hard and--"
"Lionel," his wife said, "stop making excuses for Helene." Beatrice McCready ran a hand through her short strawberry hair and said, "Honey, sit down. Please."
Lionel said, "I'm just trying to explain that Helene hasn't had an easy life."
"Neither have you," Beatrice said, "and you're a good father. "
"How many kids do you have?" Angie asked.
Beatrice smiled. "One. Matt. He's five. He's stayingwith my brother and his wife until we find Amanda."
Lionel seemed to perk up a bit at the mention of his son. "He's a great kid," he said, and seemed almost embarrassed by his pride.
"And Amanda?" I said.
"She's a terrific kid, too," Beatrice said. "And she's way too young to be out there on her own."
Amanda McCready had disappeared from this neighborhood three days ago. Since then, the entire city of Boston, it seemed, had become obsessed with her whereabouts. The police had put more men on the search than they had on the manhunt for John Salvi after the abortion clinic shootings four years ago. The mayor held a press conference in which he pledged no city business would take precedence over her disappearance until she was found. The press coverage was saturating: front page of both papers each morning, lead story in all three major telecasts at night, hourly updates inserted between the soaps and talk shows.
And in three days--nothing. Not a hint of her.
Amanda McCready had been on this earth four years and seven months when she vanished. Her mother had put her to bed on Sunday night, checked in on her once around eight-thirty, and the next morning, shortly after nine, had looked in at Amanda's bed and seen nothing but sheets dented with the wrinkled impression, of her daughter's body.
The clothes Helene McCready had laid out for r daughter--a pink, T-shirt, denim shorts, pink socks, and white sneakers--were gone, as was Amanda's favorite doll, a blond-haired replica of a three-year-old that bore an errie resemblance to its owner, and whom amanda had named Pea. The room showed no sign of struggle.

I absolutely love this series! I cannot say enough good things about Dennis Lehane. Each novel is fantastic due to the characters of Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro. The writing is fantastic, the dialogue is great and the story is fantastic. Lehane knows how to write a great detective story.
It's no surprise that Gone Baby Gone was selected for big-budget movie treatment by the Hollywood machine. The story of a missing, neglected child offers knuckle-clenching thrills, heart-rending chills, and later a moral dilemma that shakes the foundation of private detectives Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro (this is the fourth installment in their series). It's Lehane's characters and dialogue that stand out -- living, breathing, and dying before our eyes, with only the faintest nod to caricature and cliche (but would it be possible for a detective somewhere, somehow, to arrive on a crime scene and NOT immediately glean information that has eluded scores of police officers? Please?). Things bog down at times when Lehane indulges himself a bit too much with his descriptive prose in his attempt to make Boston's neighborhoods and history a vital part of the story, but for the most part the plot chugs along at a decent pace, steadily building tension until the moment of truth arrives. Most inconsistencies and loose threads are tied-up neatly, albeit somewhat implausibly, with a few well-considered revelations in the final pages.
#4 in the Kenzie, Gennaro series by Dennis Lehane. If you have read one then you know you can't get enough off them! This is my thrid time reading them :)
Having read Mystic River which was good, Shutter Island which was confusing and not good, I was pleasantly surprised. This was the first of his books with the main characters that I had read. Good chaaracters, good plot, good ending. Very graphic.
One of Lehanes best
This isn't a book that lifts your spirits. But, Dennis Lehane is a craftsman with words, an artist. To read this is to be in Boston living it. I read large portions of it in single sittings, stopping only when emotionally overwhelmed. In other words, it is a typically great bit of writing by Lehane.
I loved this book but hated the ending. I just couldn't believe the outcome of this novel; it was so upsetting. This book is like all of Lehane's: well-written, original and touching. I love a well-written mystery and this book didn't disappoint. I love Lehane's series novels and also adored Shutter Island. I really like the series characters and the original storylines. Mystic River was also wonderful; a very disturbing and poignant story. If you like this book, you may also enjoy: Ruth Rendell (especially End in Tears and Going Wrong), Barbara Vine, Lee Child's Jack Reacher series, and the novels of Ken Follet.
This book is one of the darkest books of the series. It grips you from start to finish. LeHane has an unrelenting style and a cynical view of the world reflected in his writing. In this book, no one is clean and ultimately explores the question of fighting monsters without becoming one and what truly is right and wrong. Great book.
I will admit it took me a little while to really get into this book but once I did I was hooked. I even had to read it in the car, knowing I would feel sick from doing so. Lehane is a true master of the written word who knows how to make your heart jump with suspense or ache with compassion. He doesn't sugar coat a thing. I also enjoyed the way he described Boston in all its glory and gore. Now, I just gotta see the movie.
Gone, Baby Gone, is a wonderful story that I am happy to recommend! The plot is very exciting and the characters are fantastic! Buy the book. You won't be disappointed!
I've been a fan of Lehane ever since I picked up Shutter Island at the airport for something to read on my flight. That got me hooked on the Kenzie-Gennaro books. I've read the first two, but accidentally skipped 'Sacred', but they keep getting better and better. What I really like is Lehane's way of taking the most mundane of chores like scribbling on a notepad into such vivid and lyrical imagery. He does the same thing with settings that would normally be bland or depressing and finds something beautiful about the location to accentuate it. Getting to the subject matter, it was tough to get through this book like it was for Patrick and Angie. It dealt with things I normally would not want to touch, but Lehane did it with genuine sincerity and ultimate realism. I heard someone say, 'You can't change the devil, the devil changes you.' Truer words have never been spoken in regards to this book.
Dennis Lehane's writing is so far ahead of everything out there it's hard to go back to reading anyone else. His prose manages to be witty, gut-wrenching, and emotionally satisfying all at the same time. I got completely lost in the pages of this novel. Be forwarned though: this is no fairy tale. It's dark and intense. The themes are heartbreaking, especially if you've got kids, and doubly so if one happens to be a 4-year-old girl. I had to set it down a few times and take a breath, clear my head. But that's exactly what sucked me so deep into this novel. Like the best reads, you're the most entertained when you've got an emotional commitment. That's certainly the case here. Out of the 5 Kenzie-Genarro novels I happened to read this one last (it's chronologically 4th), and found this one to be the most satisfying.
This is a really good story but to many filler words. Something I call to wordy. But will read over bits. Will finish cos the story is good.
A well crafted blood and guns and extreme violence detective story in the tradition of Mickey Spillane brought up to date. I had hoped for a more intellectual sleuth story, but this ain't it. I prefer the BBC detective stories to the American dime novel approach.
This will make your heart ache and you will cry. So sad but true that some people who have children really don't deserve them and those people truly suck the child's spirit right out of them. I wish the law protected the child better it is not fair to them. Lots of twist and turns.
Great book
Loved the book. Can't wait to see the movie
The book just didn't connect with me. Having lived in that area, the characters didn't seem accurate to me. Technically, the book also failed to engage me. I didn't have many edge of my seat moments and when it did, I wasn't thrilled with the way it was done. Clearly, I'm in the minority here on this book.
Another great book in the series.

After ICC World Twenty20 exit, Mohammed Hafeez quits as Pakistan skipper
Pakistan failed to qualify for the semifinal of the ICC World Twenty20 after badly losing to West Indies in a crucial match on Tuesday. Skipper Mohammed Hafeez took responsibility for the failure.
Mohammed Hafeez has resigned as Pakistan's T20 captain. Hafeez had led the team in the ICC World Twenty20. Pakistan failed to qualify for the semifinals after suffering a huge defeat to the West Indies in a group match on Tuesday. Shahid Afridi is a strong contender to take over this role.
Taking responsibility for Pakistan's failure to defend the World Twenty20 crown, Hafeez pleaded with the fans to accept it gracefully and not react like "bad losers".
"We accept responsibility for playing poorly against the West Indies in the crucial match but we must also not be bad losers. They played better on that day to beat us," Hafeez told reporters at Karachi airport after returning home from Dhaka. (Also read: Hafeez says sorry to fans after World T20 debacle)
The experienced player pointed out that victory and defeat were part and parcel of the game. "We know people are disappointed and we take responsibility for not giving our best performance but we must not be bad losers," he said. (Related: Pak chief selector says picking seniors backfired)
Hafeez also admitted that he was not satisfied with his own form in the competition. "I didn't score the runs I would have liked to do and my performance was not up to the mark but the team tried hard," he said. (Read: Hafeez is to blame for Pakistan's horror show, says Razzaq)
Hafeez also didn't agree with veteran all-rounder Afridi's assertion on returning home earlier in the day that the team had played with a negative mindset and lost because of this approach.
"I don't know what he has said because I have just got off the plane but the team played positively in the tournament but we were not good enough on the given day," he said.

Character Info Edit
Darwin Raglan Caspian Ahab Poseidon Nicodemius Watterson III is one of the main characters in The Amazing World of Gumball. He used to be Gumball's pet goldfish, but one day he grew legs, gained the ability to speak, and generally adapted to life outside of water.
His black shadow disappears, almost to the point where it's not noticeable. Also, his legs get a little fatter, and he loses one eyelash on each eye (two on each eye instead of three). Also, Darwin's attitude has slightly changed; from being cheerful and clueless, to being easily angered, especially in "The Words". He seems to have an intense cruelty, as shown in "The Banana". His voice also started to sound lower, and whenever he screams, his voice squeaks, this is probably because of Kwesi Boakye entering puberty.

Balance Your Life
You get home from school, eat a snack, go to soccer, church, finish your homework, stuff some dinner in your face, and finally, go to bed. Sound hectic? It is. Too many teens are cramming their schedules with activities and putting school second. But in the end, does that pay?
How many extracurriculars are you involved in? Three? Four? Are they worth your time? Think about it. That's what I did. Your grades may be falling but you keep telling yourself, What we're learning is really hard but I'm still trying my hardest. Don't believe it, you're lying to yourself.
It's okay. You're not the only one with that problem. Across the United States, teens' free time has decreased dramatically. But that doesn't mean you should blame it on someone else.

text: Politics 10 March 2003 Cristina Odone worries about genetic ID cards What will it be like to know from your teens that you face a terrible fate? Sign up for our weekly email * My friend "Sam" has been married for more than 20 years. Over the past few of these, without seemingly any provocation, his wife started to yell abuse at him. Then she took to talking to herself as she wandered round the house in a nightie. Finally, she adopted baby-speak and would sit staring blankly at the telly for hours on end. Sam was beside himself - and the doctor's diagnosis confirmed his worst fears: Huntingdon's disease, a degenerative brain disease that leads to premature senility and often death. Sam and his wife have a son and a daughter. They stand a 50-50 chance of carrying the same disease in their genes. The three - Sam and the children - now face a horrendous choice: do the children take the simple genetic test that will tell them their fates? Within 20 years, the choice won't be theirs. According to a Nobel Prize-winning geneticist, all newborn babies will be issued with genetic identity cards. Sir Paul Nurse told a science conference the other day that soon our ID cards will bear a genetic passport spelling out our future health. Diabetes, heart disease, MS - these conditions, and more, will be revealed in a pocket-sized document to which everyone will have easy access. Everyone includes insurers, employers, potential partners, competitors. For the candidate running against you in the election or the man who's been toying with proposing to you, the genetic ID card will provide an excellent means of dealing with you. Knowing your defective gene means he or she can discard you, ban you, expose you. Cruel? Certainly. Society will thereafter be divided into "healthy us" and "unhealthy them". Imagine being one of "them" - you'll be dogged by the fear of being found out, excluded, branded. Should we allow for this kind of scapegoating? What kind of information are we entitled to have about our neighbour, our staff, our client? These questions need answering before Sir Paul's prediction comes true. Equally, we need to establish some form of regulation for genetic screenings. Otherwise, I worry about youngsters such as Sam's, who will know, in their teens, that they face a terrible fate - even death.

Well, a funny thing happened on the way to stinking out the joint.
In the season's early going the Ottawa Senators have conjured up the elusive quality that separates great teams from the average, and the middling from the truly awful: they've learned how to play for each other. In the words of former Glasgow Rangers manager Jock Wallace, they've got the battle fever on.
Picked by most to finish near or at the very bottom of the East, the Sens have won six of seven and may be playing themselves out of contention in the Nail Yakupov sweepstakes.
Rookie head coach Paul MacLean has been a tonic for centre Jason Spezza, who is among the league's scoring leaders, and linemate Milan Michalek (eight goals in his first 13 games). Under MacLean the Sens are also the league's never-say-die poster children with three wins in the final seconds, boasting the top power-play, and are top five in goals-per-game. On the cause-to-worry front, captain Daniel Alfredsson is out (concussion), they're brutal five-on-five, and are 3-0 in shootouts – good teams don't rely on crapshoots.
The Sens have two men among the top-10 scoring defencemen. Erik Karlsson was tied for the league lead going into Friday, Sergei Gonchar sat 9th with 9 points in 12 games. But they are minus-2 and minus-3 respectively. Ottawa is also dead last in the NHL in goals-against per game, and are 2-5 when out-shot. Rookies Jared Cowen and David Rundblad are bright spots, but have only played 25 NHL games between them.
Craig Anderson has six wins, but hasn't exactly been the reincarnation of Jacques Plante – he's given up three or more goals in four of his Ws, owns a 3.80 goals-against and .880 save percentage. Un-awesome. And the less said about backup Alex Auld, the better. Injuries haven't helped, but Auld has yielded nearly five goals a game and is dead last among NHL goalies with an .830 save percentage.
Probably not. Ottawa doesn't have the depth up front or heft on the back end to make the playoffs, but they should be closer to mediocre than diabolically bad.Report Typo/Error

It was the fourth quarter of the Nets' loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night, and Coach Don Casey was imploring his team to make one last push. He told Stephon Marbury to shoot 3-pointers, Keith Van Horn to draw fouls and Kendall Gill to make steals.
But he did not tell Kerry Kittles anything. He did not even play Kittles, whose star is flickering so badly that he was benched for the game's final 14 minutes.
Before this forlorn season, playing Lucious Harris over Kittles would have been unthinkable. But that was before Kittles embarked on what he called the worst season of his life. He is averaging 12.3 points a game on 34.7 percent shooting. And on the occasions when Kittles's shots are falling, his defense, once a strength, is absent.
''I have no idea what's wrong with him,'' Casey said after Kittles followed the Clippers game by shooting 2 for 13 for 7 points in Wednesday's 120-97 loss at Denver. ''He has to play his way out. He has to do other things while he's in a slump.''Continue reading the main story
Having gained confidence in his abilities after watching him average 16.8 points and play smothering defense in his first two seasons, the Nets signed Kittles to a six-year, $52 million contract on March 13. While Kittles, for the most part, refuses to blame his struggles on his bruised right knee, which cost him half of training camp and the first three games of the season, the logical explanation for his play is that it is bothering him. It still swells up and requires Kittles to ice it before and after games.
Kittles said Wednesday that he would have a magnetic resonance imaging test on it when the Nets return home after Friday's game here against the SuperSonics. If more surgery is needed -- he had exploratory surgery on the knee last October -- he said he would wait until after the season to have it.
With the Nets foundering with a 10-28 record, Kittles said he would be glad when the season is over.
''Then, I'll be able to get in the gym and work hard,'' he said. ''I'll be able to build my confidence back up, play in a couple of summer leagues, get back into my regular routine and get my leg back to where I want it to be. Then, I'll come back next year and improve.''Continue reading the main story

Oscillatory neurons integrate their synaptic inputs in fundamentally different ways than normally quiescent neurons. We show that the oscillation period of invertebrate endogenous pacemaker neurons wanders, producing random fluctuations in the interspike intervals (ISI) on a time scale of seconds to minutes, which decorrelates pairs of neurons in hybrid circuits constructed using the dynamic clamp. The autocorrelation of the ISI sequence remained high for many ISIs, but the autocorrelation of the ΔISI series had on average a single nonzero value, which was negative at a lag of one interval. We reproduced these results using a simple integrate and fire (IF) model with a stochastic population of channels carrying an adaptation current with a stochastic component that was integrated with a slow time scale, suggesting that a similar population of channels underlies the observed wander in the period. Using autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models, we found that a single integrator and a single moving average with a negative coefficient could simulate both the experimental data and the IF model. Feeding white noise into an integrator with a slow time constant is sufficient to produce the autocorrelation structure of the ISI series. Moreover, the moving average clearly accounted for the autocorrelation structure of the ΔISI series and is biophysically implemented in the IF model using slow stochastic adaptation. The observed autocorrelation structure may be a neural signature of slow stochastic adaptation, and wander generated in this manner may be a general mechanism for limiting episodes of synchronized activity in the nervous system.

About 12pm, I took a short stroll over to The Rocks Square where the noodle bar was located. Tucked at one corner of the square, Wok On Inn serves takeaway Asian meals made fresh on order. First, pick a style from the 8 regions in Asia (China, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Japan, Korea, Mongolia or Indonesia), then choose a noodle type (egg, hokkien, rice, vermicelli, udon or rice sheet) or jasmine rice. Select a choice of star ingredient (vegetables, tofu, chicken, beef, prawn, seafood or combination), pay for your meal and voila, in less than 10 minutes, your number is called and takeaway ready for collection. Feel slightly overwhelmed by the choices? Then pick from one of the popular street food on the menu which includes pad thai and nasi goreng. You can't go wrong with a classic! They also serve sides, kids' size meals as well as soups (choice of laksa or wonton, both served with noodles). Service was speedy and hardly any queue during the lunchtime rush.
I went for their Special Nasi Goreng with Chicken which was part of their daily specials today. The lunch specials normally cost $9.95 but I got mine for $7.45 with the use of my 25% discount voucher from the Entertainment Book. The nasi goreng served here was the Indonesian version that combines sambal with kecap manis giving the fried rice its authentic flavour and tossed with egg, fresh vegetables and bite-size boneless chicken pieces. My takeaway container was filled to the brim, a generous serving enough for me to have two meals. There are communal seating areas in the square which caters for all diners from the food stalls in the vicinity so had my lunch at one of the nearby tables. The nasi goreng was mildly spiced with good flavour (you can add more sambal from the self-serve condiments available at the pick up area). Hmm, the food reminds me a lot of Noodle Canteen back in Wellington, a regular lunch spot back when I was working in Telecom NZ. With mains no more than $14, Wok On Inn is a pretty affordable place to come for a quick meal.

If you've come by The Rocks Square between 12th April - 12th May, there is no way you can miss seeing the four-storey high The Rocks Windmill which was built for the 4-week season of workshops, performances, film and music. I took a quick visit into the modern day mill after lunch, having a look inside as well as making my way up the flight of stairs to the mezzanine that was hosting a free exhibition Milling About today, an exhibit of findings presented by The Lot on their residency project to 're-imagine' Cumberland Street South in The Rocks. I found out that one of the events held during the windmill season was the opportunity to pay homage to pardoned convict Robert Sidaway - in the last 18th century, Sidaway opened the colony's first theatre and allowed patrons to pay for entry with flour; every weekend during the windmill season, you can collect a bag of wheat at The Rocks Discovery Museum and grind it into your own flour in the windmill. How cool is that! Photo of the windmill:

The Sword's Zach and his acid tongue met his match this week when he posted a piece about gay porn star and ex-ballet dancer Jett Black. On August 14, 2013, The Sword re-posted a message Black has posted on his Tumblr, then went on to take a couple of jabs at Jett Black and said that since being fired from CockyBoys last month, Black was hiding out in Europe.
Gay porn director Michael Lucas of Lucas Entertainment took exception with Zach's post and wrote in the comments: "Unless your post about our employee is not removed with 30 minutes, Lucas Entertainment will remove all [its] content from AEBN's website." AEBN is a video-on-demand site where surfers can watch DVDs from hundreds of different porn producers, including 190 DVDs from Lucas Entertainment, and AEBN owns Naked Sword and their blog The Sword.
Lucas went on to say, "I standup for people who work for me. And as you are very well aware, Jett Black is in charge of [the] affiliate program, marketing and social media." Then a few minutes later Lucas added, "And stop lying to your readers. You are well aware that Jett Black is not in Europe and is working at the Lucas Entertainment offices in New York City."
Jett Black joined the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School (RWB) in September 2012 under his real name Jeppe Hansen. And the 22-year-old Dane danced on stages around the world. Early in 2013 he started appearing on CockyBoys as Jett Black and by July his dancing career was put on hold when the RWB fired him.
By the end of July, Black's stint with CockyBoys also came to abrupt end when the studio terminated him for violating the terms of their exclusive agreement.
Back on The Sword and Michael Lucas and Zach continued to battle it out back and forth until Lucas finally said, "... you have 2 minutes left. My email to AEBN is ready to go."
Then suddenly, the Jett Black post disappeared from The Sword.
While Michael Lucas may have won this battle, Zach isn't about to let him win the war and on August 16, 2013 posted "Should The Sword stop bullying gay porn stars?" And the article includes a poll, which as of early August 16 had 75% of respondents in a poll saying, "No, The Sword is appropriately bullying those who deserve it."
