Icon of the Virgin Mary Weeps Again in Syria – Tears Appear During Holy Week -Oil Fills Four Large Dishes in First Hour.
An icon in Syria that last exuded oil in 2001 has begun emanating again over Easter Weekend, according to a source close to the situation.
The oil, scientifically proven to be from olives, first began flowing on Saturday, November 27, 1982 in an old Arab-style home to a young woman, Myrna Nazzour, who came from a family of Catholic and Orthodox in a modest Damascus neighborhood of Soufanieh near where Saul saw the Light of Christ. At first it was an icon of Mary dressed in blue with the Child, but after that was taken to a local church for safe-keeping and veneration, at least a thousand other icons, including a famous purple one, began oiling in proximity.
Solemnity Of The Assumption Of The Blessed Virgin Mary.

The role of cryptic dispersal in shaping connectivity patterns of marine populations in a changing world
Andrew A. David, Benjamin R. Loveday
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 March 2017, pp. 647-655
Genetic connectivity directly shapes the demographic profile of marine species, and has become one of the most intensely researched areas in marine ecology. More importantly, it has changed the way we design and describe Marine Protected Areas across the world. Population genetics is the preferred tool when measuring connectivity patterns, however, these methods often assume that dispersal patterns are (1) natural and (2) follow traditional metapopulation models. In this short review, we formally introduce the phenomenon of cryptic dispersal, where multiple introductory events can undermine these assumptions, resulting in grossly inaccurate connectivity estimates. We also discuss the evolutionary consequences of cryptic dispersal and advocate for a cross-disciplinary approach that incorporates larval transport models into population genetic studies to provide a level of oceanographic realism that will result in more accurate estimates of dispersal. As globalized trade continues to expand, the rate of anthropogenic movement of marine organisms is also expected to increase and as such, integrated methods will be required to meet the inevitable conservation challenges that will arise from it.
Bloom dynamics of noxious Chattonella spp. (Raphidophyceae) in contrastingly enclosed coastal environments: a comparative study of two coastal regions
Haruo Yamaguchi, Yuko Tanimoto, Yoshihiro Hayashi, Satoshi Suzuki, Mineo Yamaguchi, Masao Adachi
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 February 2017, pp. 657-663
Harmful algal blooms caused by raphidophyte species of the genus Chattonella (i.e. Chattonella antiqua, Chattonella marina and Chattonella ovata) have been documented in temperate coastal regions around the world. To understand the effects of physicochemical factors on bloom development of Chattonella spp., we investigated the variations of vegetative and resting cells (i.e. cysts) of Chattonella spp. and environmental variables in two coastal environments, Uranouchi Inlet (extremely closed) and Nomi Inlet (semi-closed), with contrasting enclosed natures. Although the vegetative cells and cysts of Chattonella spp. were distributed in both coastal regions, the densities were remarkably higher in Uranouchi Inlet than in Nomi Inlet. The mud content in the sediments of Uranouchi Inlet was also higher than that in the sediments of Nomi Inlet, meaning that fine particles such as cysts are likely to accumulate in the former region. Because of the extremely closed nature of Uranouchi Inlet, warm oceanic waters of the Kuroshio Current penetrate the inlet only infrequently. These results suggest that the closed nature of coastal regions is an important factor influencing either water exchange or the resultant accumulation of Chattonella cells in coastal environments.
A community-based approach to identifying defence of microalgae against protozoan grazing
Zheng Wang, Guangjian Xu, Lu Zhao, Yangyang Gao, Abdullah Al Mamun, Henglong Xu
It has increasingly been recognized that defence of microalgae against predator grazing is a passive response to increase algal population density by excreting chemicals with a change in physical properties. As common biological pollutants in the cultivation of the microalgae, the community-based method was used to identify the ability of two microalgae, Chlorella sp. and Nannochloropsis oceanica, to defend against protozoan grazing. Mature protozoan samples with 14-day age were collected, using microscopy glass slides, in coastal waters of the Yellow Sea, northern China. For both microalgae, a gradient of concentrations was designed as 100 (control), 104, 105, 106 and 107 cell ml−1, respectively. Results showed that both test algal species represented strong defence effects on protozoan grazing, especially at high density levels. Species richness, abundance and taxonomic distinctness of the protozoan assemblages showed a sharp decrease at high concentration level (107 cell ml−1) of both algae. A significant variation in protozoan community structures was found to be driven by the gradient of the algal concentrations. The paired taxonomic distinctness indices of the protozoan communities showed an increasing trend of departure from the expected taxonomic pattern with increase of algal concentrations. Based on the results, we suggest that the community-based bioassay might be used as a feasible tool for identifying defence against protozoan grazing of microalgae.
Responses of mesozooplankton communities to different anthropogenic activities in a subtropical semi-enclosed bay
Ping Du, Yi-Bo Liao, Zhi-Bing Jiang, Kai Wang, Jiang-Ning Zeng, Lu Shou, Xiao-Qun Xu, Xu-Dan Xu, Jing-Jing Liu, Wei Huang, De-Min Zhang
To evaluate the effects of different anthropogenic activities on zooplankton and the pelagic ecosystem, we conducted seasonal cruises in 2010 to assess spatial heterogeneity among the mesozooplankton communities of Xiangshan Bay, a subtropical semi-enclosed bay in China. The evaluation included five different areas: a kelp farm, an oyster farm, a fish farm, the thermal discharge area of a power plant, and an artificial reef, and we aimed to identify whether anthropogenic activities dominated spatial variation in the mesozooplankton communities. The results demonstrated clear spatial heterogeneity among the mesozooplankton communities of the studied areas, dominantly driven by natural hydrographic properties, except in the area near the thermal discharge outlet of the power station. In the outlet area, thermal shock caused by the discharge influenced the mesozooplankton community by decreasing abundance and biomass throughout the four seasons, even causing a shift in the dominant species near the outlet during summer from Acartia pacifica to eurythermal and warm water taxa. Unique features of the mesozooplankton community in the oyster farm may be due to the combined effects of oyster culture and the natural environment in the branch harbour. However, kelp and fish culture, and the construction of an artificial reef did not exert any obvious influence on the mesozooplankton communities up to 2010, probably because of the small scale of the aquaculture and a time lag in the rehabilitation effects of the artificial reef. Thus, our results suggested that the dominant factors influencing spatial variations of mesozooplankton communities in Xiangshan Bay were still the natural hydrographic properties, but the thermal discharge was an anthropogenic activity that changed the pelagic ecosystem, and should be supervised.
Disturbance alters ecosystem engineering by a canopy-forming alga
Jacqueline B. Pocklington, Stuart R. Jenkins, Alecia Bellgrove, Michael J. Keough, Tim D. O'Hara, Patricia E. Masterson-Algar, Stephen J. Hawkins
Canopy-forming fucoid algae have an important role as ecosystem engineers on rocky intertidal shores, where they increase the abundance of species otherwise limited by exposure during low tide. The facilitative relationship between Ascophyllum nodosum and associated organisms was explored using a frond breakage experiment (100%, 50%, 25%, 0% intact-frond treatments) in southern England, to assess the consequences of disturbance. Understorey substratum temperature was on average 3°C higher in 0% and 25% intact-frond treatments than in plots with 50% and 100% intact fronds. Light (as PAR during low tide) doubled in 0% intact-frond treatments in comparison to other treatments (which had similar light levels). Mobile invertebrate species richness declined by on average 1 species per m2 in the treatments with only 25% and 0% intact fronds, and the abundance of Littorina obtusata declined by 2.4–4.2 individuals per m2 in the treatments with 25 and 0% intact fronds. Sessile taxa, including Osmundea pinnatifida and encrusting coralline algae, declined by half on average in the 0% intact-frond treatment. These results suggest that the ability of Ascophyllum to mediate environmental conditions to the understorey is the mechanism responsible for species distributed in the understorey (autogenic ecosystem engineering). The results of this study imply that a pulse disturbance resulting in a 50% breakage of Ascophyllum fronds significantly increases temperature and decreases the abundance of mobile invertebrates usually associated with Ascophyllum. Sessile taxa associated with Ascophyllum can, however, withstand disturbances down to 25% intact Ascophyllum fronds.
Green tides on inter- and subtidal sandy shores: differential impacts on infauna and flatfish
N. Quillien, M. C. Nordström, H. Le Bris, E. Bonsdorff, J. Grall
Beach ecosystems extend from dune to offshore areas along most coasts, and provide essential services that are not provided by any other ecosystem. Indeed, sandy systems contain unique biodiversity and supply nursery and foraging areas for numerous commercially important marine species, such as flatfish. However, these systems are threatened by increasing anthropogenic pressure. Green tides (GT, i.e. accumulations of green opportunistic macroalgae) are a major human-induced threat to marine ecosystems, from inshore to nearshore. This eutrophication process greatly affects both benthic invertebrate communities and flatfish communities, within sheltered and non- or microtidal systems. However, the responses of dynamic open macrotidal sandy systems to eutrophication in the form of macroalgal mats are not yet fully understood. In particular, understanding the effects of GT on two connected biological compartments (infauna and flatfish) within two connected habitats (intertidal and subtidal) is crucial. Here, we set out to assess the influence of several environmental variables, including Ulva biomass, on the variability in infauna and flatfish communities in both the intertidal and the subtidal at four sites impacted or not by GT. In total, 110 biodiversity samples were analysed with classic and novel analytical approaches. Our results demonstrate that the presence of GT specifically impacts intertidal macroinvertebrate communities. However, small effects of GT on subtidal infauna communities, as well as on species-specific flatfish at both intertidal and subtidal, were still detectable. Our findings underline the vulnerability of highly dynamic ecosystems exposed to anthropogenic stress, in particular intertidal sandy shores.
Morphological changes in the structure and function of the feeding appendages and foregut of the larvae and first juvenile of the freshwater prawn Macrobrachium acanthurus
Cristina P. Rocha, Manoel Luciano A. Quadros, Murilo Maciel, Cristiana R. Maciel, Fernando A. Abrunhosa
The present study describes the morphological changes of the mouthparts and foregut of the freshwater prawn M. acanthurus that occur during the development of the larvae and first juvenile. The results indicate that the zoeae I have mouthparts with reduced setae and a structureless foregut that indicates obligatory lecithotrophic behaviour. There is an increase in the number of setae in these structures between the zoea II and the juvenile stage, indicating the adaptation of the organism for feeding. More complex structural alterations were observed in the first juvenile, which acquires benthonic habits, which ensure the capture and ingestion of a diversity of feeding resources found in the substrate.
A study on some population parameters of mantis shrimp (Squilla mantis L., 1758) in Izmir Bay (Aegean Sea)
Naciye Erdoğan Sağlam, Yeşim Demir Sağlam, Cemil Sağlam
The population parameters of mantis shrimp (Squilla mantis Linnaeus, 1758) were studied regarding age composition, sex ratio, growth, survival and mortality rates, and the exploitation rate in the Aegean coasts of Turkey in 2013. We collected 936 specimens by shrimp gillnets along the coasts of Izmir Province from April to October 2013. The mean condition factor was K = 1.02 for both sexes, while the sex ratio was 58.7% for female and 41.3% male. Mean lengths, mean weight and length–weight relationship were calculated as TL = 12.57 ± 0.07 cm, CL = 3.02 ± 0.02 cm, W = 22.14 ± 0.37 g, W = 0.0098 × L3.02. Age determination was based on indirect ageing through length–frequency data using the Bhattacharya method. The age of the population varied from 0+ to 3+. Von Bertalanffy growth parameters were estimated as TL∞ = 19.69 cm, CL∞ = 4.74, W∞ = 79.41 g, k = 0.50 year−1 and t0 = −0.37 year. Mortality and exploitation rates derived as Z = 1.90, M = 1.16, F = 0.74 and E = 0.39, respectively.
Population dynamics, relative growth and sex change of the protandric simultaneous hermaphrodite Exhippolysmata oplophoroides (Caridea: Lysmatidae) close to an upwelling area
Régis A. Pescinelli, Thiago M. Davanso, João A. F. Pantaleão, Abner Carvalho-Batista, Raymond T. Bauer, Rogério C. Costa
The present study investigated the population dynamics of Exhippolysmata oplophoroides in an area influenced by upwelling, focusing on reproductive period, sex ratio, growth rate, longevity, mortality, relative growth and size of sex change. We also tested the hypothesis that the appendices internae increased in size with sex change from the male to the simultaneous hermaphrodite phase as possible replacements for the male appendices masculinae, which are reduced or lost at sex change. Population structure was assessed by the distribution of size frequency in three demographic groups: male phase, hermaphrodite phase with, and without embryos. For relative growth analysis, the length of the following structures was measured: carapace, second pleuron, first pereopod, second pereopod, appendices internae of the second to fifth pleopods, and appendix masculina. Smaller size classes were composed only by male-phase individuals. The sex ratio was significantly biased towards the simultaneous hermaphrodite phase. Reproduction was continuous in the population throughout the year. Slower growth rates but higher maximum body sizes than those estimated at other locations in south-eastern Brazil were observed in the population studied. Cooler temperatures and higher nutrient levels associated with upwelling may have produced this pattern of reproduction and growth, similar to that found in more southerly austral latitudes. We also found that sex change influences the relative growth of body structures such as the second pereopods, appendices internae, and appendix masculina, and hypotheses on the adaptive value of such allometric growth are proposed.
Impact of sea spider parasitism on host clams: susceptibility and intensity-dependent mortality
Katsumasa Yamada, Katsumi Miyazaki, Takeshi Tomiyama, Gen Kanaya, Yoshifumi Miyama, Tomoyoshi Yoshinaga, Kunihiro Wakui, Masanori Tamaoki, Mitsuharu Toba
Nymphonella tapetis (Pycnogonida, Ascorhynchidae) is an endoparasitic sea spider affecting bivalves. Recently, sea spiders have been found on a massive scale in the commercially important Manila clams (Veneridae, Ruditapes philippinarum) in Japan (Tokyo Bay). Simultaneously, mass mortality has occurred in this area. Local fishers assumed that this mass mortality was caused by the parasitic sea spider, despite the effect of the parasite and parasite intensity on the host being unknown. To evaluate the susceptibility of the Manila clam to sea spider infestation and the impact on mortality levels, we established six treatments at different infection intensities (density of newly hatched larvae of sea spiders) over a 6-month long laboratory experiment. We monitored mortality and three susceptibility indices (clearance rate, sand-burrowing speed and adductor muscle strength) under sufficient food conditions. Parasitization by sea spider affected clearance rate and sand-burrowing speed. The pattern of parasitic intensity effects on survival of Manila clam hosts was shown to be dependent on the levels of parasite numbers, i.e. clams with lower parasitic levels (total of <200 hatching larvae of sea spider given to a host) have a higher survival rate, and high mortality of host clams was shown in excessively higher parasitic densities (400–4000 individuals). Such pattern of parasitic effects on host survival might be one of the causes of mass mortality of Manila clams occurring in the field.
Reproductive biology of Sabellaria wilsoni (Sabellariidae: Polychaeta), an important ecosystem engineer on the Amazon coast
D. Aviz, A.J.A. Pinto, M.A.P. Ferreira, R.M. Rocha, J.S. Rosa Filho
The sabellariid worms are important ecosystem engineers in coastal zones, due to their ability to construct sand reefs, modify environments and structure biological communities. This article describes the reproductive biology of Sabellaria wilsoni on a beach of the Amazon coast. Each month between May 2008 and April 2009, specimens were collected for morphometric and histological analyses for sexing and determination of gonadal maturity. In females, the number and diameter of the oocytes at different stages of vitellogenesis were also recorded. The results showed that the species is dioecious, with sexual reproduction, females larger than males, and a female-biased sex ratio (overall, 1.6♀: 1♂). Four distinct stages of gonadal maturation were identified in the males and females – (i) initial development, (ii) maturing, (iii) mature and (iv) spawning. Sexual maturity is attained rapidly, and reproduction is continuous, with two breeding peaks, one in the dry season, related to the increased intensity of hydrodynamic conditions and reef erosion; and the other in the rainy season, when the availability of space and nutrients increases. The reproductive strategy of the species reinforces the classification of the sabellariids as r-strategists, adapted to colonize habitats with unstable environmental conditions.
Syllidae (Annelida) from the Boreal and sub-Arctic seas off Norway (North Sea, Norwegian Sea, Barents Sea)
Y. Lucas, A. Sikorski, G. San Martín
A collection of more than 1500 specimens of Syllidae (Annelida, Polychaeta) from sub-Arctic and Boreal regions along the coast of Norway has been studied. We report 32 species, two of them new to science, belonging to the genera Sphaerosyllis Claparède, 1863 and Syllis Savigny in Lamarck, 1818, and 16 new to Norway. Sphaerosyllis tarquei sp. nov. is characterized by having long blades on its compound chaetae and the presence of glands inside the dorsal cirri. Syllis kas sp. nov. was reported, figured and described by Uschakov (1955) as Syllis oerstedi (Malmgren, 1867); however, revision of the types of Chaetosyllis oerstedi reveals that they are sexual stolons of Syllis cornuta Rathke, 1843; this species is characterized by the shape of the spiniger-like chaetae, which are relatively short, distally blunt, with a thin distal spine, and unidentate falcigers some of which have similar spines. We also include descriptions and figures of Parexogone longicirris (Webster & Benedict, 1887) and Syllides longocirrata Ørsted, 1845. Finally we include a key of all reported species in the area.
Genetic diversity of Nephtys hombergii (Phyllodocida, Polychaeta) associated with environmental factors in a highly fluctuating ecosystem
Katerina Vasileiadou, Christina Pavloudi, Federica Camisa, Irene Tsikopoulou, Nina Fragopoulou, Georgios Kotoulas, Christos Arvanitidis
Genetic diversity and population distribution are influenced by environmental factors, yet information is scarce on the interrelations that define dispersal of populations. Transitional water ecosystems are hosting habitats with temporally and spatially variable conditions, which make them very useful in understanding the mechanisms affecting population establishment. For the study, seasonal samples were collected from four lagoons in the lagoonal complex of Amvrakikos Gulf (W Greece). The mitochondrial DNA (COI gene) was analysed from polychaetes of Nephtys hombergii, as it is considered an important component of these assemblages and shows great dispersal ability. The results of the genetic analysis showed intraspecific variability in all the lagoons, with genetic structuring tending to follow a seasonal pattern rather than a spatial one. The results of BIOENV analysis indicated correlation of the observed pattern with the water pH levels, the redox potential and the concentration of phosphate in the sediment. The complexity of the network suggested the enhancement of the local population with more recently established haplotypes. The findings of the study support the necessity of designing management strategies by taking into account genetic diversity and population demography approaches in addition to those based on species and habitats.
Substrate selection of Christmas tree worms (Spirobranchus spp.) in the Gulf of Eilat, Red Sea
Orly Perry, Yuval Sapir, Gad Perry, Harry Ten Hove, Maoz Fine
Christmas tree worms (Spirobranchus spp.) are prominent sessile organisms inhabiting hermatypic corals in tropical and sub-tropical reefs. Until recently, most of the larger Spirobranchus species were considered to be in obligatory associations with live hermatypic corals. However, recent studies indicate that some Spirobranchus species can build tubes on artificial substrate as well and that others may show preferences for using specific species of corals and hydrozoans as substrates. In the present study, we conducted a survey of Spirobranchus spp. substrate preference in the Gulf of Eilat. We found seven morphotaxa of Spirobranchus, of which two may be a single new species. We show that Spirobranchus taxa differ not only in their morphology, but also in their substrate use. Our results demonstrate that the ecological niche of Spirobranchus is species-specific, and a putative innate preference exists for some substrates.
Two new oxystominid species (Nematoda: Enoplida) from an abyssal plain in the southern Philippine Sea
Tingting Yu, Kuidong Xu
Two new species of free-living marine nematodes, Litinium dispariseta sp. nov. and Wieseria minor sp. nov. are described from an abyssal plain with a water depth of 4117–5035 m near the Southern Kyushu-Palau Ridge in the tropical Western Pacific Ocean. Litinium dispariseta sp. nov. is characterized by having distinct inner labial setae two times longer than the outer labial setae, wrench-like amphideal foveas, a single preanal midventral supplementary seta and a short cylindrical tail with bluntly rounded tip. It differs from congeners by its distinctly long inner labial setae relative to the outer labial setae (two times longer vs shorter or equal in length) and peculiar wrench-like amphideal foveas (vs horseshoe shaped or ovoid with round to oval anterior aperture). Wieseria minor sp. nov. has a clavate tail, a character found only in the four congeners W. glandulosa (Kreis, 1929), W. longiseta (Allgén, 1947), W. clavata Gerlach, 1956 and W. inaequalis Gerlach, 1956. However, Wieseria minor sp. nov. differs from these congeners by its much smaller body size (1045 µm vs 2120–3125 µm) and oblong amphideal foveas with double contour (vs a single oblong or ovoid loop). An emended diagnosis for Wieseria and pictorial keys for Litinium and Wieseria are provided.
A method for increasing the survival of shallow-water populations of the endemic coral Astroides calycularis
Alejandro Terrón-Sigler, David León-Muez, Patricio Peñalver-Duque, Free Espinosa Torre
The increasing human impact at shallow depths may be affecting the Mediterranean endemic coral Astroides calycularis irreversibly. Therefore, management tools need to be developed for use in its conservation. The main aim of this study was to test a reliable attachment methodology for restoring sites where the species has been affected by human activities. We chose an attachment technique using a marine quick-action epoxy resin, completing three treatments (control, transplanted and translocated colonies) in two sites with different hydrodynamic conditions. Control colonies were undisturbed colonies that were not manipulated; translocation colonies were dislodged and reattached in the same place; and transplantation colonies were dislodged and attached in a different area. Translocated colonies showed a higher survival than transplanted ones, and survival was also higher in environments with more hydrodynamism. Regarding growth, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) did not show significant differences among treatments, but significant differences between areas with different hydrodynamic conditions were noted. This study confirms that it is possible to transplant or translocate colonies of this coral with the technique proposed here, which could be used in future management plans for areas impacted by humans.
Morphology study of the otoliths of the parrotfish, Chlorurus sordidus (Forsskål, 1775) and Hipposcarus harid (Forsskål, 1775) from the Red Sea coast of Egypt (Family: Scaridae)
Laith A. Jawad, Kristiaan Hoedemakers, Ana L. Ibáñez, Yassin A. Ahmed, Mohamed A. Abu El-Regal, Sahar F. Mehanna
In the present study a comparison of the otolith morphology of two species of parrotfish, family Scaridae, collected from the Red Sea coast of Egypt, is conducted to identify the most appropriate taxonomic characters that separate these species. Ontogenetic changes in the otoliths of the two scarid fishes become evident. In the otoliths of Chlorurus sordidus, the following characters are comparable in small-sized adult fishes: otolith width, otolith depth, mesial surface shape, lateral surface shape, shape of sulcus acusticus, column, rostrum and size of rostrum. The otoliths of young adults (GI) C. sordidus differ from the adult ones in 14 out of the 22 characteristics studied. In the otoliths of Hipposcarus harid, the following characters are comparable in small and large fish: otolith width, otolith depth, mesial and lateral surface shapes, shape of sulcus acusticus, rostrum and size of rostrum.
Cleaning interactions between the cleaner wrasse Symphodus melanocercus (Osteichthyes: Labridae) and brown meagre Sciaena umbra (Osteichthyes: Sciaenidae)
Daniele Ventura, Leonardo Francisco Machado, Andrea Bonifazi, Maria Flavia Gravina, Giandomenico Ardizzone
Cleaning interactions between the wrasse Symphodus melanocercus and brown meagre Sciaena umbra are documented from observations whilst free diving on a shallow rocky reef in the central Mediterranean Sea. Cleaning events occurred at cleaning stations mainly during the morning and gradually decreased in the evening. The body parts mostly cleaned were the opercular region and the fins, possibly as gnathiid isopods preferentially attach to these areas.
Temporal variation in oxidative stress indicators in liver of totoaba (Totoaba macdonaldi) Perciformes: Sciaenidae
Sandra Berenice Hernández-Aguilar, Tania Zenteno-Savin, Juan Antonio De-Anda-Montañez, Lia Celina Méndez-Rodríguez
Several characteristics of Totoaba macdonaldi Perciformes: Sciaenidae, including migratory movements along temperature gradients make it vulnerable to oxidative stress. Oxidative stress can also be associated with reproduction. The objectives of the present study were to examine oxidative stress indicators in liver of totoaba throughout the seasons (spring, autumn and winter), and the associated fluctuations in superficial sea temperature (SST, °C), as well as to evaluate possible variations between sexes and reproductive maturity stages. A total of 173 liver samples from totoaba captured in the Gulf of California, Mexico, were obtained from April 2010 to February 2013. Superoxide radical production (O2•−), lipid peroxidation (TBARS) levels, and activity of antioxidant enzymes; superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) were quantified spectrophotometrically. Generalized linear models (GLM) were used to determine which factors contribute to explain O2•− production and TBARS levels. The significant predictive variables were the seasons, which were significant in all applied models, as well as SOD and CAT activities. In general, enzyme activity was higher in immature totoaba; this was not seasonally modified. Low temperatures in winter were associated with high O2•− production and TBARS levels, particularly in totoaba that are not yet reproductively mature. Seasonal changes in sea surface temperature did not affect the oxidative stress indicators in mature totoaba (both males and females); this suggests that mature totoaba are less sensitive to temperature changes from an oxidative stress perspective.

Zaev: Ahmeti will be held accountable for the boycott of the presidential elections
By Naser Pajaziti/ Published on: 25/04/2014
Skopje, April 25, 2014/Independent Balkan News Agency
By Naser Pajaziti
The head of the largest Macedonian opposition party LSDM (Macedonian Social Democratic League), Zoran Zaev said today that the leader of the biggest Albanian party BDI (Democratic Union for Integration) must be held responsible for the situation created in the country, as it's part of the governing coalition.
Zaev said that he must also be held responsible due to the calls toward the Albanian electorate to boycott presidential elections.
"Ali Ahmeti is the leader of a political party which is part of the governing coalition. He and his party are to be held accountable not only about the situation in the state, not only before voters of BDI, but also before the entire electorate of Macedonia. Is it a European standard to ask voters not to vote? In a state where there's democracy, is it good for the party in power which also controls the ministry of Justice, to boycott the elections?", declared Zaev.
According to him, the party that claims that its priority is the accession of the country in the European Union and the NATO, dares to exert pressure and intimidate the citizens in order to dissuade them from voting.
"Citizens must finally understand what sort of situation are they facing and that they're barely surviving under the rule of this irresponsible government which has only cared for its own interests", declared the leader of the biggest opposition party.
Zaev made these declarations after the calls of the biggest Albanian party, BDI for the Albanian voters to boycott the elections and not to back any of the presidential candidates on Sunday's polls. /ibna/

Zara Choy wants to change the world, just a little bit differently. Setting up Coalition of Mischief with her co-founder Kevin, they aim to help social causes with a side of creativity. How do they plan to do that? We talk to her about social causes, not-for-profits and nerdy apps.
Coalition of Mischief combines creativity with social causes. We work with not-for-profits, charities, socialenterprises and anyone who wants to achieve positive social outcomes, such as government/councils, LOHAS businesses and CSR projects, to strategise and deliver marketing and communications campaigns that further their cause.
I met Kevin on Twitter through #samehuman. He was mid-way through a course at the School for Social Entrepreneurs, and I was passionate about work that contributed to societal change. We were really aligned in values and working style, and had complementary skills. So we decided we'd try a project together. And somehow somewhere along the way, Coalition of Mischief was born.
On your website, it says you achieve fundraising and communication goals through alternative methods? What are some of these alternative methods?
We try to encourage use of all sorts of artists — they could be musicians, cartoonists, filmmakers, even puppeteers, comedians, drag queens or chefs — in the mix, and the use of less traditional channels.
An example would be the event that launched A-Men magazine, a magazine to promote diversity and multiculturalism in the Sydney gay community. There was a fashion show, a modern Indian cultural dance, a traditional Indonesian Gamelan performance and an alternative punk singer/songwriter on the night.
And when we meet with new prospects, our business card, which is a hang-tag, is attached to a fresh, home-grown lavender and rosemary herb-bunch from our gardens.
Tell me about some of the crowd-funding campaigns that Coalition of Mischief has done?
We've helped create short videos for social enterprises like A Girl in the World, Corker magazine and Crimson Movement. The video for A Girl in the World was part of their Poziblecrowd-funding campaign. However, we're mainly working in the not-for-profit/charity sector at the moment, and the potential with crowd-funding is something many are still unaware of.
and understanding of it as an additional fundraising channel.
You're a co-founder, tell me about some of the advantages and hurdles in having a co-founder?
I definitely enjoy many things I wouldn't if I were going it alone. It's great having someone to plan and bounce ideas with, and who brings a different, complementary (but sometimes opposing!) perspective. It is comforting to have both practical and emotional support on a journey that can be gruelling and isolating. Kevin has expressed the same. I love that together we have a synergy and a melding of minds that produces a pretty special flavour. And it's good that we keep each other accountable and motivated.
Having an opposing point of view! I know it's valuable to have your opinions challenged, and we can sometimes approach things from different ends — Kevin's very practical and present-oriented, I'm more idealistic and future-oriented — and while we pretty much usually have the same ends in mind will on occasion have strong debates in that attempt to find a satisfactory middle ground.
Tell me a little bit about your background and why non-profit speaks to you.
one where wealth, privilege, comfort and a good quality of life were just entitlements and pretty much taken for granted.
Confronted with a spectrum of extremes like that, one just starts to realise something just isn't right. People around me, those mainly in the corporate world, seemed disturbingly blind and complacent to the pressing salient world issues we are facing. A lot of reflecting and soul-searching ensued, but long story short, I just decided that rather than be a self-interested, passive member of society, I wanted to be an active participant in shaping outcomes for current and future generations.
Do your groundwork and plan well. A new idea is exciting, and it can be tempting to just jump into action. But you'll run into entanglements if you don't have any strategy. Even "testing waters" can be part of strategy. Think of strategy as a road map. Know where you want to get, how you'll be getting there and also what you don't know. Entrepreneurs are commonly thought to be risk-takers, and I think that is mistaken notion. Successful ones, I believe, are calculated risk takers.
Develop unwavering self-discipline and focus, and find a supportive community. And I would also add take care to really understand your motivations, drivers and dreams: Is it money? Or social change? Or challenge and personal satisfaction? Entrepreneurship, social or otherwise, is a great opportunity to shape your own path and find great fulfillment, but also a danger if you are easily distracted and unclear about your focus. It can just end up becoming yet another rat-race that doesn't fulfill your own personal sense of purpose, or any good in the world.
Favourite app/website of the moment?
Favourite App: TripView. I know it might sound odd, maybe a bit nerdy. It just makes such a huge difference to the tedium that catching public transport was, and I'm a stubborn advocate of public transport. It's an example of live data at it's best!

Pioneer women reflect on life, friendship in Nevada outback

TONOPAH — Lina Sharp arrives, like she always does, with a polite knock, waiting under the stately front-yard elm tree for the familiar face of a cherished old friend.
For decades, she has come calling on Minnie Perchetti, who lives in a tiny one-story house just off the main drag of this high desert eye-blink without a stoplight. On this day, as always, Lina is here to catch up on goings-on around town and in the surrounding back country: who has landed in jail or in the hospital, who has made that last sad procession to the graveyard.
"How are you doing?" Lina says as the door opens.
"Pretty good," Minnie answers softly. "My eyes aren't so good."
Lina's response is unhesitating: "But you are."
They're two pioneer women who have witnessed both boom and bust in Nevada's mostly unpeopled outback, a pair of stubborn frontier characters who, having long outlived their husbands, were left to navigate a tough-as-leather landscape not always kindly to widowed women.
Theirs is a friendship that has endured both time and distance, a bond between great-great-grandmothers of Croatian lineage that got its start during the last gasp of the Great Depression, when Franklin D. Roosevelt was president and the nation was soon to enter World War II, a time when the roads out here were still dirt tracks.
Lina is 96. Minnie is right behind at 95.
In many ways, their lives are mirrors, but there are differences. Lina is unsentimental, a college graduate who loves to read and whose wanderlust took her across the globe after her husband died. Minnie is a homebody who married young and dropped out of high school, a person who can count on one hand the times she has left Tonopah.
Minnie is a romantic, like when she describes meeting her husband the day he delivered milk to her home decades ago: "I came to the door and, right away, fell in love."
Lina is more practical. "He was earnest," she says of her mate. "The pickings out there were pretty slim."
In 1940, Lina arrived in central Nevada from Las Vegas to take a job as a country teacher on a ranch in the Railroad Valley, 100 miles east of Tonopah. She married a young cowboy named Jim, who liked to memorize poems as he drove cattle on horseback.
Years later, after Jim died of a heart attack, Lina stayed on at the ranch, raising five daughters who were home-schooled, taught to tend to the chores without a man around to supervise.
But she always made time to visit Minnie, the girl she'd met on trips through Tonopah en route to her classes at the University of Nevada, Reno. She recalled once taking a photograph of Minnie dressed in a fuzzy turquoise sweater popular in the day. On the long bumpy ride north to Reno, Lina thought of how she wanted that sweater. The two woman still laugh about that.
If Lina was worldly, Minnie was a townie from the start, a woman who still lives next door to the house where she was born. While still in high school, she eloped with Tony, a local mine worker; the two stealing off to Hawthorne for a fly-by-night wedding.
Nobody knew about the marriage until Minnie's mom suggested the two shop for a new dress for Minnie's senior year in high school.
"I'm not going to school," Minnie announced. "Tony and I got married. I'm going to move in with him and keep house."
Later, Minnie climbed ladders to help her husband in his roofing business. They eventually raised four children. And now, nearly a half-century after Tony died, the four grown kids still stop by to visit their mother each morning.
Lina comes, too. For years, she has left her sprawling Blue Eagle ranch, situated 12 miles from the nearest paved road, to make the long drive along U.S. Highway 6, past signs for places like Silver Bow, Golden Arrow and Stone Cabin. She always drove Jeeps, trading them in every few years to avoid the dreaded middle-of-nowhere breakdowns.
As years passed, and she drove less, Lina hitched rides to town with the mail delivery woman, riding home the following day with some kindly neighbor. She's always stayed overnight; the spare bedroom off Minnie's kitchen was reserved just for her.
On a recent morning, the two confidantes sit on the couch in Minnie's parlor, talking about the days when people sat on their front porch and watched the world go by; before TV, smartphones and social media.
Minnie laughs self-consciously about a set of western figurines she keeps on a long shelf, wondering aloud if people like them.
Lina jumps to her best friend's defense.
"That's you," she says. "If people don't like them, they don't have to come."
In 1940, Lina Pinjuv (pronounced pin-you've) arrived in the place called the Railroad Valley, named in anticipation of a line that was never built. She was ready to begin her life as a country teacher at a ranch named after the figure of a blue eagle early settlers said they could spy on a nearby mountaintop, if the season and sunlight were just right.
She wasn't exactly a city girl, but she was far from country. Back then, she didn't know how to build a fire, cook on a wood stove, feed the cows, chickens and sheep — skills she would later teach her children. She blanched at mannerless ranch hands who ate beans, potatoes and canned prunes out of quart jars.
Her pay was $64 a month, plus room and board, to teach eight children. The job included sweeping the floor and starting a daily fire. At night, she slept in a nearby cabin.
She missed her access to books but soon fell for the mountain vistas and iron-red sunsets at the ranch that had been homesteaded in 1868 and bought by the Sharp family in 1895. Jim Sharp, a young family wrangler who liked to memorize poems in the saddle, including one about a cowboy who prized an old hat, soon fell for the young schoolteacher. The pair was married a year after Lina's arrival.
Those first years were the hardest, without phone service or electricity. Well water was pumped by hand. Winters were so cold clothes froze on the line and snowdrifts blocked the sun.
"Mom was definitely out of her element," said daughter Jeanne Sharp Howerton, "but she persevered."
In 1961, when Lina was just 45, Jim suffered a heart attack after scaling the crest of an isolated mountain peak. During a long painful night waiting for help, his daughter Jeanne by his side, he weakened and died inside the rescue helicopter.
If people expected Lina to flee the ranch, they were wrong. Someone suggested the widow could take her daughters to San Francisco. Lina thought that was nonsense.
"It's just part of me," she says now. "I am part of the picture. I've spent most of my life out here."
Things eventually got easier. Phone service came to the Railroad Valley in the 1970s and electricity followed a few years later. Lina hung a map of the world on the wall so her girls would know there was a big universe outside the ranch.
After she retired from teaching, Lina took flight. Often traveling alone, she visited all the places she'd read about in her books. Soon, she'd set foot on all seven continents.
But she always came back to the ranch, where the old one-room schoolhouse still sits, its desks and instruction books intact. Lina likes her rustic life; she still doesn't "know the language of computers."
Several years ago, Lina was just one of four people who lived in the entire valley, which is 100 miles long and 13 miles wide.
Whenever she got the urge, she'd jump into her Jeep "and just go," the vehicle kicking up a cloud of dust on its way to the paved road.
She'd be off to visit Minnie, eager to tell stories of Antarctica and South Africa, just as anxious to hear about the people whose simple lives and common sense had helped shape her into the woman she had become.
Minnie Boscovich grew up as a tomboy; her three older brothers often pointing out the girls — and boys — in the schoolyard they wanted Minnie to go and beat up.
Later, her marriage to Tony was a shock to the family. Minnie worried her brothers might take revenge on her new husband; ending her dream of domestic bliss before it even got started.
The family was poor and lived without indoor plumbing. Minnie and the kids would help Tony on his roofing jobs and on weekends go hunting and fishing in the surrounding countryside they came to know so well it appeared in their dreams.
"I've lived here all my life; I loved Tonopah," Minnie says. "I knew everybody. I didn't need a car. It was a nice place to live."
After Tony died in 1973, Minnie lost her interest in men and romance. "I never looked at another guy," she says. "I never wanted to get married again."
Not that her kids didn't try to play matchmaker.
"Mom was just 53 when Dad died," said son Bob, who runs a motel in town. "She was still attractive, but she was a one-man woman. She loved my Dad and that was it. Once we got her to go on a date with a geologist. He took her to dinner and helped her hang clothes on the line. He never got inside the house, though."
Minnie always looked forward to Lina's visits, when they'd go gambling at the casino in town. Minnie teased her friend for being a cheapskate, slipping a single nickel into the slot machines instead of five. Recalls Lina: "I'd buy a book and pay a horrendous price, but to put money into a machine and pull the handle … ."
As the years want by, Minnie's friends passed away, but not Lina. She kept up her visits, just like always. They'd talk until 8 p.m., when Minnie got tired and went to bed.
She'd leave Lina in the living room with her book and drop off to sleep knowing her best friend was there nearby.
In the parlor, Minnie tells about her trip to the eye doctor up in the Smoky Valley.
"We had a nice trip," she says, "but my eyes aren't in the best of shape."
"Can you read?" Lina inquires. "Do you need glasses?"
As time passes, the two settle into their personalities like comfortable chairs.
Minnie laughs about killing chickens as a girl, putting their heads between two nails and giving their bodies a tug, watching the headless animals run across the yard.
Lina says she wants to visit the local bookstore before she goes home. She kicks herself for not bringing a few fresh eggs from the ranch.
Soon, the two old friends go their separate ways, always happy with each other's company, no matter how long it lasts.
Because Lina knows you can take nothing for granted out on the frontier.
"Your life was handed down to you and you lived it," she says. "That's just the way it went."

Deserve? Deserve's Got Nothing To Do With It
"But [the Maloofs] don't deserve [Anthony] Davis. They don't deserve a team."
-Steve Kelley, Seattle Times, May 2
Let's get one thing straight - deserve's got nothing to do with.
You want to talk about deserve? Does Jerry Buss - a Class A philanderer - deserve Kobe Bryant?
Does Donald Sterling - a racist skinflint - deserve Blake Griffin or Chris Paul?
Does Aubrey McClendon - a top-class con artist who has swindled his own company out of hundreds of millions of dollars - deserve Kevin Durant?
Does James Dolan - a top-notch jerk who seems to flounder from one disaster to the next - deserve Jeremy Lin?
For crying out loud, who does deserve Anthony Davis? As it stands now, Michael Jordan and the Bobcats will get Davis, even though they forced their customers to pay first-class prices for third-class service the entire 2011-12 season. Do they deserve Davis?
The answer, of course, is no. As much as Steve Kelley would like to get free tickets to NBA games again, and as scandalous as the NBA's departure from Seattle was, we don't deserve an NBA team any more than anyone else. And the notion that David Stern will now - after 30 years of being a condescending and selfish twit- suddenly morph into a benevolent dictator and hand us the keys to the Sacramento Kings, well, I'm sorry, but I'm not holding my breath about that happening anytime soon.
David Stern is going to do what David Stern always does: Get the best deal he can for his owners and let the chips fall where they may. If he can keep the Maloofs in Sacramento and get a new arena he will, but if not, it will be up to the Maloofs - not David Stern, not Steve Kelley, not anyone else - where the team will go next.
Because deserve's got nothing to do with it.

Funny, I had the same thought/quote in my head when I read that Kelley line too.
If I've learned one thing from the relocation, it's that the concept of "deserving" doesn't work the same way in the moral universe of the NBA. In that world, OKC deserves a team, Seattle doesn't. New Orleans, Memphis, Sacramento deserve years to sort out their ownership/leases/arenas, Seattle doesn't. The city 28th in attendance (for that one year) doesn't deserve its team, but cities #29 & #30 do.
Okay, NBA, I get it. "Deserve" is an arbitrary or non-existent ideal, so I should stop bitching, accept that is how it works and move on. Right?
Soooo... if that's how the logic works--if that is the reasoning that keeps teams in those cities I mentioned? And if accepting this logic is required to reenter the NBA family? Then that same, bizarre, effed-up logic means that when we get some heisted team to move here, Sonics fans should not feel any guilt or shame whatsoever.
Unless there's some double-standard that requires that we have to forever feel shitty for losing the team, that we can never covet other cities' teams, and that we must feel shitty the moment we hypothetically steal another team. In which case, I quit.
PN said...
I think you're looking at two different sets of moralities here; the NBA's and the fans'. The NBA is completely and utterly a business, and, as a business, doesn't have to worry about morality. Fans, though, are human beings, and, as human beings, can fall sway to feeling guilty/shitty/etc.
It's ironic, though, that Kelley feels that the best solution is to take the team away from the Maloofs and give it to Chris Hansen. I'm curious, exactly how does that rectify the bullshit that Sacramento fans had to endure? Unlike Seattle, they managed to conjure up an arena plan that seems to be appealing to the league, the city, and the team. It was only when the weasels that ran the team changed their minds that the whole thing fell apart ... and Kelley's logic is to solve the situation by punishing the Sacramento fans? I just don't understand it at all.
You guys are both forgetting a key component - Steve Kelley puts as much thought into his columns as my three year old does into his bowel movements.
And - whaddya know - they both produce the same thing!

Hannah's barrenness
Barrenness to Fruitfulness
(1 Sam 1:1-2 NIV) There was a certain man from Ramathaim, a Zuphite from the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite. {2} He had two wives; one was called Hannah and the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had none.
Hannah is the mother of Samuel, the great prophet-judge of Israel whose ministry spanned several kings. She too was a barren woman. To make things worse, the other wife of her husband, Peninnah was not barren and was provoking her for her barrenness.
(1 Sam 1:6-7 NIV) And because the LORD had closed her womb, her rival kept provoking her in order to irritate her. {7} This went on year after year. Whenever Hannah went up to the house of the LORD, her rival provoked her till she wept and would not eat.
The Hebrew word for rival is tsarah, which comes from the verb tsarar, which means "to show hostility toward." The noun form is also translated as adversary or enemy (Lev 18:18).
Hannah's adversary was Peninnah but we have a far more dangerous adversary, the devil. The name Satan is a transliteration of Hebrew word meaning adversary.
Satan will hurdle towards us the same kinds of insults, discouragements as Peninnah would towards Hannah. In fact, he might have worked in Peninnah's life to be an irritation towards Hannah.
Like Hannah, a barren person falls into the trap of depression and discouragement. He needs to know who is adversary is and who is behind this depression. He needs to use the name of Jesus to take authority over the situation and command the demons to leave him alone and stop their provocation.
Another way the adversary works is to slow down our progress. When Daniel prayed to God, the answer from God was immediate but the demons slowed down the angel who was delivering the message. Spiritual warfare is very real. Our enemy could be discouraging us or he could be setting up all kinds of obstacles in our path so that we would not be fruitful.
Hannah's situation was similar to the mother of Samson's in some regards. God would grant both these women children if they would agree to commit their children to God all the days of their lives and set them apart for God's work.
(1 Sam 1:10-11 NIV) In bitterness of soul Hannah wept much and prayed to the LORD. {11} And she made a vow, saying, "O LORD Almighty, if you will only look upon your servant's misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the LORD for all the days of his life, and no razor will ever be used on his head."
Samson's mother also agreed that her child would lead a strict Nazirite life.
(Judg 13:2-5 NIV) A certain man of Zorah, named Manoah, from the clan of the Danites, had a wife who was sterile and remained childless. {3} The angel of the LORD appeared to her and said, "You are sterile and childless, but you are going to conceive and have a son. {4} Now see to it that you drink no wine or other fermented drink and that you do not eat anything unclean, {5} because you will conceive and give birth to a son. No razor may be used on his head, because the boy is to be a Nazirite, set apart to God from birth, and he will begin the deliverance of Israel from the hands of the Philistines."
A Nazirite (also known as Nazarite, which despite its similarity to Nazareth and Nazarene, it has no actual relation) derives from the Hebrew word pronounced naw-zeer, meaning separated, or consecrated. The word was used to indicate someone who was separated from the general population and consecrated to God. Although Samson is the first Nazirite specifically mentioned in The Bible, there are general references to Nazirites much earlier, at the time of Moses. The Nazirite vow involved 3 things – no alcohol, including all products of the grape vine, uncut hair, and no contact with the dead.
When you are desperate enough to see God bring about fruits in whatever area of your life, you need to consecrate that area to God. It could be your job or business that you consecrate to God telling Him that you would set it apart for His work and not allow any unclean activities to touch it.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING: Show urgency addressing wait times at the border – Herald & Review
The Biden administration's decision to reopen U.S. land borders on Nov. 8 to international visitors whose travel had previously been considered "non-essential" was greeted with joy in the San Diego-Tijuana megaregion. For the first time since the pandemic's onset in March 2020, people were free to visit family members and friends, and tourists and shoppers could return to their favorite sites.
The decision came months after Canada had safely reopened its borders and public health authorities in the U.S. began allowing thousands of fans to pack sports venues. Many wondered why the Biden administration had waited so long to reopen.
Now there are fresh reasons to wonder about the administration's lack of urgency on border issues. To speed up border crossings, from 2004 to 2015, the U.S. government spent $741 million to sharply expand and upgrade the San Ysidro Port of Entry. But having 62 northbound inspection booths doesn't help if many are unused. Because of a shortage of available Customs and Border Protection agents, drivers often must wait two hours or more to cross. There has been no progress in reducing the waits despite weeks of complaints about the headaches this is causing for the vast, integrated binational economy, which had a combined annual economic output of $230 billion before the pandemic.
If the U.S. government is having trouble attracting agents, it should do the obvious and increase starting pay. If it is having trouble retaining agents, it should endeavor to find out why. Passively accepting a close-to-broken border is unacceptable. The delays smack of elitism, if not racism. There are a lot of longstanding issues that should be addressed and resolved in 2022, and San Diego County's delegation should clamor for change until this ends.

The beauty of roasting vegetables is that you only need to spend the time preparing them (i.e. cutting them up) and all you do after that is throw them into an oven baking dish with olive oil and seasoning and let it cook itself for the required time frame. This sauce is great (and can be modified using any vegetable really) because not only are you getting a healthy dose of veggies, you are blending them up to really bring together the flavours and juices that developed during the baking process. This recipe may result in a large amount of sauce, so freeze (and date) any remaining sauce for future use and remember it would also make a lovely pizza base sauce too.
Timeout! Eager to help modify the overarching vibe for my steadfast business. Thinking on the nice feel at http://www.dentistryonbrant.com? Definitely a very good Burlington based dental clinic whenever necessary within the whole Ontario region. Offer a remark. Many thanks!
(you want your zucchini and eggplant to be somewhat equal size so that they cook at the same speed. Capsicum (bell pepper) can be left as two halves.
place the tomatoes face down into oil, put in the eggplant and zucchini pieces and the capsicum halves too.
dribble over remaining olive oil, sprinkle on sea salt, marjoram, oregano, chilli flakes and scatter the sliced garlic over the top.
place into middle of the oven for 40mins of until capsicum looks a little charred and vegetables are thoroughly cooked.
Remove from the oven and let the vegetables stand for 15mins.
If you do not like tomato skin, you can easily remove the skins from the roasted tomatoes and discard them, otherwise you can leave them on.
Set up the food processor and place all ingredients into food processor and blend until smooth. Make sure you add the remaining juices from the roasting so it keeps the sauce wet and not too thick.
Set aside the sauce and now bring a saucepan of water to boil, once boiling add she'll pasta and continue to cook until pasta is al-dente.
Strain pasta over the sink with a strainer, then pour pasta back into saucepan. Add roasted vegetable sauce to cover pasta and stir through well.
Serve portions immediately, garnish with parsley and season with desired salt and pepper.
Cheers everyone! I had texted a buddy I can certainly discuss her great outstanding lawn care service in Haltons, http://friendlygiantmaintenance.ca during a site posting. If ever you are looking to find a landscaping service located in the Ontario area, these individuals are good.
Now, I definitely will remark the base idea for this unique blog was generously supplied through Paul over at Ontario Exterior. They're an amazing window & door suppliers. I really love a useful proposal!

Judges urged to boycott inquiries
Amnesty attacks new act for curbs on public scrutiny
Clare Dyer, legal editor
Wed 20 Apr 2005 20.36 EDT First published on Wed 20 Apr 2005 20.36 EDT
Amnesty International yesterday urged all judges to refuse to sit on any inquiry set up by the government under the Inquiries Act 2005, including that into alleged state collusion in the death of the murdered Belfast solicitor Patrick Finucane.
The worldwide human rights organisation said it supported the call by Mr Finucane's widow, Geraldine, to all senior judges in England, Scotland and Wales not to serve on an inquiry into her husband's death held under the legislation. Amnesty also urged foreign judges to decline any invitation to sit on UK inquiries and called for the repeal of the act.
Rushed into law on April 7, the last possible day before parliament was dissolved, the act gives ministers powers to exclude the public from all or part of an inquiry, to control publication of the final report, to restrict the publication of documents, to insist on the omission of crucial evidence from the final report "in the public interest", and even to sack the chairman or a member of the inquiry panel.
The act abolishes the Tribunals of Inquiry (Evidence) Act 1921, which guarantees independence by giving inquiry chairmen a free hand in all important decisions.
Lord Saville, the law lord who presided over the Bloody Sunday inquiry, has told the constitutional affairs minister, Lady Ashton, in a letter that he would refuse to take part in any inquiry allowing ministers to control public access.
He wrote that the act "makes a very serious inroad into the independence of any inquiry; and is likely to damage or destroy public confidence in the inquiry and its findings".
Justice Peter Cory, the former Canadian supreme court judge who looked into allegations of collusion by the police and army in the deaths of Mr Finucane and others, told a US congressional committee last month that he believed no Canadian judge would agree to serve on an inquiry under the act.
"It seems to me that the proposed new act would make a meaningful inquiry impossible," he said.
Many senior judges were unaware of the terms of the act until they received Mrs Finucane's letter last week. She said she had received "about two dozen" replies from judges, some just acknowledgments but some "very sympathetic".
Lord Woolf, the lord chief justice, has written to her on behalf of all the judges, saying that the decision to serve on an inquiry would be for the individual judge to make, taking account of all the circumstances.
Growing awareness among the judges of the way in which the act would tie their hands raises the possibility, embarrassing for the government, that they could boycott the Finucane inquiry unless given an undertaking that the powers allowing ministers to interfere would not be used.
The inquiry into the death of the Northern Ireland solicitor Rosemary Nelson, chaired by a retired high court judge, was set up before the act came into force and is not being conducted under it.
The government has already announced that the Finucane inquiry will be held under the act, that it will be a public inquiry, but that most of the evidence will be given in private.
"By proposing to hold an inquiry into the Finucane case under the Inquiries Act 2005, the UK government is trying to eliminate independent scrutiny of the actions of its agents," Amnesty said. "Any judge sitting on such an inquiry would be presiding over a sham."
In April 2004 an independent report by Justice Cory, commissioned by the British and Irish governments, concluded that "only a public inquiry will suffice" in Mr Finucane's case.
Amnesty said: "Any inquiry held under the new act would be controlled by the executive which, under it, is empowered to block public scrutiny of state actions.
"It will affect not only Patrick Finucane's case, but also other major incidents which would warrant public scrutiny of the actions of the state, such as failures of public services, deaths in prisons, rail disasters and army deaths in disputed circumstances."

Bogotá: Colombian government imposes curfew after curfew
Residents of the Colombian capital are not allowed to leave their homes during the night. Previously, there had been riots during protests.
After mass protests against the Colombian government and serious riots, a nocturnal curfew has been imposed in the capital Bogotá. No one was allowed on the street since 9 pm to 6 am on Friday evening, said Mayor Enrique Peñalosa Londoño. Exceptions were for air travelers, airport employees and pilots. With the curfew the city administration wants to prevent further riots.
In the south of Bogotá masked demonstrators had last delivered street battles with the police. They hurled stones at the security forces, who in turn fired tear gas and stun grenades into the crowd. Around 20,000 police officers were deployed in the capital.
"Peaceful expression is a right in a democracy, but we should categorically reject any form of violence," said President Iván Duque. "It is our duty to uphold order and ensure security, and these principles will never be revealed to those who call for hatred and violence."
Three people killed
The protests started on Thursday, when around 200,000 people demonstrated against conservative President Duque's government in numerous South American cities. The protests address, among other things, planned labor market and pension reforms as well as increasing violence against activists with social concerns.
According to the Department of Defense, three people were killed in clashes in the Valle de Cauca department in the west of the country. In riots on the verge of demonstrations 150 police and 122 civilians were injured. In addition, there were 98 arrests.
Recently, numerous countries in South America were shaken by violent protests. In Bolivia, President Evo Morales resigned after electoral allegations and fled into exile in Mexico. In Chile, after weeks of demonstrations, the government and the opposition agreed to work out a new constitution. In Ecuador, the government had to withdraw the withdrawal of petrol subsidies due to heavy protests.
