Trouble in paradise: Ocean acidification this way comes. Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
---Shakespeare, Macbeth Mo'orea, it's called--this island in French Polynesia that's been dubbed the most beautiful island in the world. Here Tahitian breezes dance across crystal blue waters and beneath the tropical seas lies a necklace of coral reefs that encircles Mo'orea like a string of brightly colored jewels. Extensive reefs of a coral named Porites and other species form atolls, or reefs that ring Mo'orea's lagoons. Porites are colonial corals, also known as Scleractinians, found in shallow tropical waters throughout the Indo-Pacific and Caribbean regions. Think tropical reef and your mind's eye is likely seeing Porites. These corals and other calcifying marine life, such as coralline algae, are also the world's primary reef-builders.
The seas in which these calcifying species dwell are turning acidic, their pH slowly dropping as Earth's oceans acidify in response to increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. I TOUCHED YOUR DRIFTWOOD. Cue the theme from Wonder Years.

LVC 1967 505-0217 - Washed Too Soon When it comes to raw denim, arguably the biggest cardinal sin is washing them too soon.
For those new to or unfamiliar with raw denim, the goal is to achieve as sharp fade creases and contrasts as possible, thereby leaving you with denim that is suited to just you. To do so, however, one should refrain from washing for at least six months. “After 15 Months without washing, Nudie pants show ‘normal’ bacteria levels” Josh Le with 15 Month Old Raw Denim A couple months ago, there was a pretty interesting article published in the Edmonton Journal (home town, yea!)
To shut up all those haters who think that people “over wear” raw denim and how it’s “gross” for wearing them with no, or very minimal, washing for a long period of time. This guy, Josh, bought his Nudies back in Sept 2009 and wore them nearly everyday for 15 months. After doing a bacteria swab test in Dec 2010, they found bacteria levels to be “normal” and almost identical after washing, wearing 13 times, then re-testing.

Proponents of the legislation said it would protect the intellectual-property market and corresponding industry, jobs and revenue, and was necessary to bolster enforcement of copyright laws, especially against foreign-owned and operated websites.
Claiming flaws in present laws that do not cover foreign-owned and operated websites, and citing examples of active promotion of rogue websites by U.S. search engines, proponents asserted that stronger enforcement tools were needed. Opponents claimed that the proposed legislation threatened free speech and innovation, and enabled law enforcement to block access to entire internet domains due to infringing content posted on a single blog or webpage. They expressed concerns that SOPA would bypass the "safe harbor" protections from liability presently afforded to websites by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Naming and evolution[edit] The Kindle name was devised by branding consultant Michael Cronan who was asked by Lab 126 to name the product.
Cronan and partner Karin Hibma suggested Kindle, meaning to light a fire.[3] They felt this was an apt metaphor for reading and intellectual excitement.[4] Kindle hardware has evolved from the original Kindle introduced in 2007 and a Kindle DX line (with a larger screen) introduced in 2009. The range now includes devices with a keyboard (Kindle Keyboard), devices with touch-sensitive screens (Kindle Paperwhite), a tablet computer with a reader app and a color display (Kindle Fire), and a low-priced model with an on-screen keyboard (Kindle). In the last three months of 2010, Amazon announced that in the United States, their e-book sales had surpassed sales of paperback books for the first time.[10]

State of the Browser: Chrome closes on Firefox, IE6 dying out. The browser story in December mirrored the broader 2011 trends. After a surprising result in November, in which it held steady, Internet Explorer resumed normal service in December, with its market share continuing to fall.
Chrome once more made gains, closing the gap with rival Firefox. Internet Explorer dropped 0.77 points for a share of 51.87 percent. Firefox dropped 0.31 points, for a share of 21.83 percent. Chrome gained 0.93 points to rise to 19.11 percent. The story for 2011 as a whole was much the same. Chrome has become the alternative browser of choice. In the mobile market, Safari continues to rule. Though Chrome's automatic updates remain the best in the browser industry, its pool of non-upgrading users continues to be a significant feature.

When therapists have the hots for their clients. Clients go to psychotherapy seeking a mind massage, but all too often things turn physical. Cases of inappropriate sexual contact in psychotherapy average around 10 per cent prevalence, and a 2006 survey of hundreds of psychotherapists found that nearly 90 per cent reported having been sexually attracted to a client on at least one occasion.
It's an issue dramatised artfully in the HBO series In Treatment, which follows the life and work of psychotherapist Dr Paul Weston. A new paper by clinical psychologist Carol Martin and colleagues discusses how therapists deal with these awkward feelings. The researchers interviewed 13 psychotherapists (7 men), including 2 clinical psychologists and 2 psychoanalysts, in-depth about times they'd been attracted to a client but had stopped themselves acting on those urges.
The therapists were generally of the view that sexual attraction to clients was normal and not necessarily harmful. Martin, C., Godfrey, M., Meekums, B., and Madill, A. (2011). Auschwitz concentration camp. Auschwitz concentration camp (German: Konzentrationslager Auschwitz [ˈʔaʊ̯ʃvɪt͡s] ( )) was a network of concentration and extermination camps built and operated by the Third Reich in Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany during World War II.
It consisted of Auschwitz I (the original camp), Auschwitz II–Birkenau (a combination concentration / extermination camp), Auschwitz III–Monowitz (a labor camp to staff an IG Farben factory), and 45 satellite camps. Auschwitz I was first constructed to hold Polish political prisoners, who began to arrive in May 1940. The first extermination of prisoners took place in September 1941, and Auschwitz II–Birkenau went on to become a major site of the Nazi "Final Solution to the Jewish question".

NASA has posted a FAQ on its website that explains why the world won’t end in 2012. Dec. 21, 2012 is the end of a long cycle of the ancient Mayan calendar, and NASA officials are attempting to shut down pseudo-scientists who claim that Earth will be destroyed that day.
“Nothing bad will happen to the Earth in 2012,” NASA scientists wrote in the FAQ. “Our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years, and credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012.” The FAQ debunks the most widely-circulated theories about what will destroy Earth on Dec. 21, 2012, including colliding with a rogue planet named Nibiru, Planet X or Eris; giant solar storms; a reversal of Earth’s rotation; freaky planetary alignment; and the classic ending of being hit by a giant asteroid.
As for the fear that the end may come via asteroid impact, "there are no known near-Earth objects in 2012 that present a credible risk to Earth," Yeomans said. The Little Sprinter. Tony Jaa One Shot.
