KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) ? Afghan Army Sgt. Habibullah Hayar didn't know it, but he had been sleeping with his enemy for weeks.
Twenty days ago, one of his roommates was arrested for allegedly plotting an insider attack against their unit, which is partnered with NATO forces in eastern Paktia province.
Afghan soldiers and policemen ? or militants in their uniforms ? have gunned down more than 50 foreign troops so far this year, eroding the trust between coalition forces and their Afghan partners. An equal number of Afghan policemen and soldiers also died in these attacks, giving them reason as well to be suspicious of possible infiltrators within their ranks.
"It's not only foreigners. They are targeting Afghan security forces too," said the 21-year-old Hayar, who was in Kabul on leave. "Sometimes, I think what kind of situation is this that a Muslim cannot trust a Muslim ? even a brother cannot trust a brother. It's so confused. Nobody knows what's going on."
The U.S.-led coalition said a NATO service member and an international civilian contractor were killed on Saturday in the latest such insider attack. The coalition said in a statement on Sunday that Afghan soldiers were also killed or wounded, but provided no other details about the attack in eastern Afghanistan.
Insider attacks are taking a toll on the partnership, prompting the U.S. military to restrict operations with small-sized Afghan units earlier this month.
The close contact ? with coalition forces working side by side with Afghan troops as advisers, mentors and trainers ? is a key part of the U.S. strategy for putting the Afghans in the lead as the U.S. and other nations prepare to pull out their last combat troops at the end of 2014, just 27 months away.
The U.S. military also has shown increasing anger over the attacks.
"I'm mad as hell about them, to be honest with you," Gen. John Allen, the top commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, told CBS' "60 Minutes" in an interview scheduled to be broadcast on Sunday. "It reverberates everywhere across the United States. You know, we're willing to sacrifice a lot for this campaign, but we're not willing to be murdered for it."
So far this year, at least 52 foreign troops ? about half of them Americans ? have been killed in insider attacks. The Afghan government has not provided statistics on the number of its forces killed in insider attacks. However, U.S. military statistics obtained by The Associated Press show at least 53 members of the Afghan security forces had been killed as of the end of August.
A U.S. military official disclosed the numbers on condition of anonymity because he said it was up to Afghan officials to formally release the figures. An Afghan defense official who was shown the statistics said he had no reason to doubt their accuracy.
Overall, the statistics show that at least 135 Afghan policemen and soldiers have been killed in insider attacks since 2007. That's more than the 119 foreign service members ? mostly Americans ? killed in such attacks since then, according to NATO.
Typically, foreign troops are the main targets, but Afghan forces also have been killed by comrades angry over their collaboration with Westerners and many more get killed in the crossfire, Defense Ministry spokesman Gen. Zahir Azimi said. He said the ministry did not have a breakdown of how many had been targeted or killed in gunbattles during the attacks.
In at least one instance, an Afghan police officer with alleged ties to militants, killed 10 of his fellow officers on Aug. 11 at a checkpoint in southwestern Nimroz province. An Afghan soldier also was killed on April 25 when a fellow soldier opened fire on a U.S. service member and his translator in Kandahar province, the southern birthplace of the Taliban.
Last year, a suicide bomber in an Afghan police uniform blew himself up May 28 in Takhar province, killing two NATO service members and four Afghans, including a senior police commander. And just a week before that, four Taliban fighters wearing suicide vests under police uniforms attacked a government building in Khost province, triggering a gunbattle that left three Afghan policemen and two Afghan soldiers dead. On April 16, an Afghan soldier walked into a meeting of NATO trainers and Afghan troops in Laghman province, blew himself up, killing five U.S. troops, four Afghan soldiers and an interpreter.
"It's difficult to know an attacker from a non-attacker when everybody is wearing a uniform, Hayar said.
The attacker was one of seven people rounded up earlier this month from various units within the Afghan National Army Corps 203, Hayar said. The corps covers the eastern Afghan provinces of Paktia, Paktika, Ghazni, Wardak, Logar and Khost.
"He was together with me in my room with some of my other colleagues. He had a long beard. We didn't know anything about him. We were living together, sleeping together," said Hayar, who has been in the Afghan army for 2 1/2 years.
He said the suspected infiltrator was identified after a Taliban militant arrested in Logar told his Afghan interrogators that members of the fundamentalist Islamic movement had infiltrated the corps and were planning imminent attacks. That prompted Hayar's superiors to start questioning soldiers in various units.
Hayar said his roommate's uneasy reaction raised suspicion, and investigators found Taliban songs saved to the memory card of his cell phone. He was then detained by Afghan intelligence officials and confessed he was a member of the Taliban and planned to stage attacks.
Hayar says he assumes his former bunkmate was probably going after foreign forces, but it makes him uncomfortable nevertheless.
"It's very hard to trust anybody ? even a roommate," he said. "Whenever I'm not on duty, I lock my weapon and keep the key myself. I don't put my weapon under my pillow to sleep because maybe someone will grab it and shoot me with my own weapon."
To counter such attacks, the U.S. military earlier this year stopped training about 1,000 members of the Afghan Local Police, a controversial network of village-defense units. U.S. commanders have assigned some troops to be "guardian angels" who watch over their comrades even as they sleep. U.S. officials also recently ordered American troops to carry loaded weapons at all time, even when they are on their bases.
Then, after a string of insider attacks, Allen this month restricted operations carried out alongside with small-sized Afghan units. Coalition troops have routinely conducted patrols or manned outposts with small groups of Afghan counterparts, but Allen's directive said such operations would no longer be considered routine and required the approval of the regional commander.
For their part, Afghan authorities have detained or removed hundreds of soldiers as part of its effort to re-screen its security forces. The Ministry of Defense also released a 28-page training booklet this month that advises soldiers not to be personally offended when foreign troops do things Afghans view as deeply insulting.
The booklet urges them not to take revenge for foreign troops' social blunders, such as blowing their noses in public, stepping into a mosque with their shoes on, walking in front of a soldier who is praying or asking about their wives.
"Most of the coalition members are interested to share pictures of their families. It is not a big deal for them. If someone asks you about your family, especially the females in your family, don't think they are disrespecting you or trying to insult you," the booklet says.
"That is not the case. By asking such questions, they are trying to show that they want to learn more about you. You can very easily explain to them that nobody in Afghanistan would ask, especially about wives or females in the family."

Russia reveals shiny state secret: It's awash in diamonds
'Trillions of carats' lie below a 35-million-year-old, 62-mile-diameter asteroid crater in eastern Siberia known as Popigai Astroblem. The Russians have known about the site since the 1970s.

EnlargeRussia has just declassified news that will shake world gem markets to their core: the discovery of a vast new diamond field containing "trillions of carats," enough to supply global markets for another 3,000 years.

The Soviets discovered the bonanza back in the 1970s beneath a 35-million-year-old, 62-mile diameter asteroid crater in eastern Siberia known as Popigai Astroblem.
They decided to keep it secret, and not to exploit it, apparently because the USSR's huge diamond operations at Mirny, in Yakutia, were already producing immense profits in what was then a tightly controlled world market.
The Soviets were also producing a range of artificial diamonds for industry, into which they had invested heavily.
The veil of secrecy was finally lifted over the weekend, and Moscow permitted scientists from the nearby Novosibirsk Institute of Geology and Mineralogy to talk about it with Russian journalists.
According to the official news agency, ITAR-Tass, the diamonds at Popigai are "twice as hard" as the usual gemstones, making them ideal for industrial and scientific uses.
The institute's director, Nikolai Pokhilenko, told the agency that news of what's in the new field could be enough to "overturn" global diamond markets.
"The resources of superhard diamonds contained in rocks of the Popigai crypto-explosion structure are, by a factor of 10, bigger than the world's all known reserves," Mr. Pokhilenko said. "We are speaking about trillions of carats. By comparison, present-day known reserves in Yakutia are estimated at 1 billion carats."
The type of stones at Popigai are known as "impact diamonds," which theoretically result when something like a meteor plows into a graphite deposit at high velocity. The Russians say most such diamonds found in the past have? been "space diamonds" of extraterrestrial origin found in meteor craters. [Editor's note: The original version misstated the type of deposit needed to create impact diamonds.]
They claim the Popigai site is unique in the world, thus making Russia the monopoly proprietor of a resource that's likely to become increasingly important in high-precision scientific and industrial processes.
"The value of impact diamonds is added by their unusual abrasive features and large grain size," Pokhilenko told Tass. "This expands significantly the scope of their industrial use and makes them more valuable for industrial purposes."
Russian scientists say the news is likely to change the shape of global diamond markets, although the main customers for the super-hard gems will probably be big corporations and scientific institutes.

Caroline at Coastcard: Poetry Plus: Writing Workshops (1 ...
I joined others at Gainsborough Community Library in Ipswich yesterday for a Creative Writing Workshop. We were considering the topic of 'plot', which is not something that crosses my path very often in my poetry endeavours, although it certainly has a bearing on narrative poems. It made me realise (again) just how fundamental the concept of 'story' is to our lives.
The ancient Greeks knew this all too well, with their epic ring cycles that would allow the same yarn to be narrated in fresh ways. A child's version of Homer's Odyssey captured my own imagination at a young age. I went on to study and teach Classical Civilisation. We also think of Beowulf and of countless other myths and legends that became part of the warp and weft of our human society. The New Testament parables, stories told for a purpose, rely heavily on narrative. Think of 'The Sower' or 'The Prodigal Son'. Journalists tell stories. Most of us do.
But how often do we employ story-telling techniques in our poems? Should we be telling more stories if it is these tales that help us to come together and forge connections? We were talking yesterday about 'martyrdom' (among other things) as a feature that is common to many well-loved tales.'The Chronicles of Narnia', which we cited by way of example, speak for themselves at one level but also probe the heights and depths of something more - the Christian story, of good over evil, of the laying down of life for others.
The employment of an extended metaphor has been recognised as a popular and successful poetry ploy in recent years. Epic is 'out' in the traditional sense - or is it? There have been exciting re-workings of the old sagas and tales, but archaic language and sentiment have largely been abandoned or, at least, re-cast. I am currently reading 'Now All Roads lead to France' by Matthew Hollis, about the life and last years of Edward Thomas. It is fascinating to read about the Georgian poets and how very different they were to the emerging Imagists. Edward Thomas had a great gift for sharing small insights into the world of nature with his readers. Of course, he often employed narrative along the way: think of 'The Owl'. Today we worry whether it is 'enough' for a poem simply to paint a picture. Our response has sometimes been to use poetry as a vehicle for (often political) change. Adjectives and adverbs are treated with extreme caution - sorry, with caution - but are we sometimes in danger of aspiring to an art that is losing touch with its recipients? Poets may be driven to write for any number of reasons, but I found it helpful yesterday to be reminded that 'plot' is occasionally a useful tool to select from the work(shop) box.
P.S. And in case you were wondering, my organic writing in the workshop yesterday focused on an orphan, a multi-cololoured explosion and a rift in the cliff face ...

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) ? Don Trachte's cowlick has been tamed. Mary Hall is no longer a towhead. Butch Corbett is still thin, but not the beanpole he once was. And Tom Paquin's carrot top is thinner and grayer.
Twenty or so people who were children when they posed in the 1940s and '50s for their neighbor Norman Rockwell in the Vermont town of Arlington are reuniting there Saturday to share their memories of the great American artist who once lived in their midst.
Rockwell captured scenes of everyday life in his paintings and illustrations for covers of the Saturday Evening Post, for the Boy Scouts and for its publication Boys' Life, art now considered the very definition of Americana. He would pay his neighbors $5 a pop to appear in Hallmark cards, in calendars and on magazine covers that ended up gracing the coffee tables and littering the tree houses of millions of magazine readers young and old.
"The Saturday Evening Post came out weekly, and we couldn't wait to get it to see what was on the cover," said Hall, who posed for Rockwell four times. "You could always recognize who it was."
She appeared as a blond girl wrapped in a quilt and being carried out of a flood by a Boy Scout in an image that became a cover of Boys' Life, and as a teenager in a skirt, white blouse, bobby socks and loafers on a Post cover from 1948. It was called "Christmas Homecoming" and showed people welcoming home a young man who's carrying a suitcase full of dirty laundry.
An estimated 300 people from the area modeled for Rockwell during his 14 years in the southern Vermont town. Of the 70 or so still living, the oldest is 93 (he can't make it to the reunion). Many still live in and around Arlington.
Among the models planning to join in is Mary Whalen, who posed for the popular image of a rugged-looking school girl with braids and a black eye, waiting outside a principal's office.
The former models have gotten together before, but this weekend is special. They have been invited to view a new gallery of Rockwell prints and memorabilia that is taking the place of a recently closed Rockwell museum. The new owners are treating them to a turkey lunch in honor of Rockwell's famous painting of an excited family gathered for Thanksgiving dinner.
"I think it's important that the models keep the tradition of the image that Vermont, Arlington in particular, was important in Norman Rockwell's biography. That while he lived in Arlington he did his best work, probably ... and his local models were Arlington people," said James "Buddy" Edgerton, 82, who lived next door to Rockwell, his wife and three sons and modeled for him at least a dozen times.
Rockwell was a full-fledged member of the town, attending school basketball games and square dances, and had a great sense of humor, his neighbors recall. But as one of America's foremost artists, he could be as precise as any high-fashion photographer.
He would first have the models photographed and then would sketch a drawing. Sometimes the session in his studio took minutes, sometimes several hours. He always had a pipe in his mouth, and he joked around with the kids to make them comfortable.
"Rockwell had these images in his head, and he wanted you to smile or be wide-eyed in a certain way. You have to be a little actor, you see, and I probably was a little embarrassed," said Trachte, who was 5 or 6 when he posed for a painting of a little boy and girl in pajamas, holding hands and peering up at Santa Claus. Years later, Trachte and his brother found a Rockwell hidden in a wall at his parents' house; "Breaking Home Ties" sold at auction in 2006 for $15.4 million.
Rockwell knew just what he wanted, instructing the children to sit or stand in certain positions with particular expressions and to wear certain clothing, often providing Scout uniforms, or in one case, the velvet outfit that Hall wore for the cover of an edition of the book "Little Lord Fauntleroy."
"I find his detail just amazing," said Hall, whose father was a real estate agent who sold Rockwell his first and second home in town.
She noted that Rockwell managed to paint the small piece of tape around her leg from a sprained ankle that appeared above her bobby sock: "He didn't miss the details."
Edgerton ? who went on to write the memoir "The Unknown Rockwell: A Portrait of Two American Families," about a farm boy growing up next door to the Rockwells ? modeled for his neighbor mostly as a Scout, with his image published in four calendars.
The last time he modeled was in 1964, after Rockwell had moved about 65 miles away to Stockbridge, Mass., now home to the Norman Rockwell Museum. Edgerton appeared as a Scoutmaster with his son, then 9, in a painting called "Growth of a Leader," showing four profiles of a Scout progressing from a child to an adult with a graying sideburn ? much like Edgerton has today.
"He was a wonderful guy," Edgerton said. "He made you feel you were the most important person in the world when you were doing it."

The Motherhood Journey
One of my favorite things about being a grandmother is watching my daughter be a mother. It?s a little like watching a blind person slowly recover their eye sight. The other day she looked at me and said, ?You know all those times you were worried about me mom and I didn?t understand why? I understand now.?
And there will be more moments of clarity like that, I?m sure.
I think back over the years and remember her when she was three.? She had long dark hair and she was wearing a white night gown. It was summer and the fireflies were out and she wanted to chase them. I sat on the back porch and watched her catching bugs and I swear I remember thinking I wish I could freeze this moment forever.
Then she was eight years old and so excited to meet her new twin brothers. She changed their diapers and fed bottles and even managed to get thrown up on once or twice.? It was a glimpse through a window of time. I knew she would be a great mother and she is.
My daughter?s? next stage was ?I want it my way,? and when she didn?t get it her way?she ran away. She wasn?t allowed to go past the two trees at the end of the driveway and the one time she did, I almost had a heart attack. When I found her across the road hiding behind the church I cried. There?s no scared like the scared you get when you can?t find your child and that?s one of many things I hope she never has to experience as a mom.
Motherhood Means Giving Your Heart Away
Kennedy,? her daughter is only six months old and already she?s learning that being a mom is harder than she ever dreamed it would be. My daughter is an organizer and every night she lays out Kennedy?s clothes for the next day. She gets all the bottles ready and makes sure I have everything I need to care for Kennedy the next day. Right now Kennedy?s environment is limited but as she gets older more variables come into play and my daughter will find she can control less and less. You give this little tiny person your heart and you want to do everything in your power to keep them healthy, happy and safe and the reality is that we can only do so much. God is in control, not us.
I remember praying when my children were very young that I wouldn?t mess up. ?Please, God,? I begged. ?I only get one shot at this. Please help me do it right.?
That wasn?t a very smart prayer, was it? As much as I wanted to be a ?perfect mom? there was no way I could. A smarter prayer would have been, ?Lord help me to see when I have made a mistake and give me the strength not to repeat it.?
When I failed (lost my temper or had a crying fit) it was usually because I let myself stress over silly unimportant things or I failed to get enough rest. Or when I took my eyes off my main goal, which was to raise Christian children in a Godly home, and focused on temporary things like the house being a mess or having enough dirty laundry to sink a battle ship.
A Woman?s World
I remember reading a newspaper column called ?Take your daughter to work,? It was written by a woman who took her young daughter to the office with her to show her what mommy did at the office. At the end of the article it said something like this, ?You can take your daughter to work to see what a career is like, but then take her home and show her what you do there too because more than likely she will have to straddle both worlds.?
That visual image of having one foot in the work place and another at home stuck with me. It?s incredibly hard for mothers to balance our lives when we are living in such a fast paced world.
My daughter is an awesome mother and I am so proud of her that even as I write this my eyes cloud up with tears. I want her motherhood years to be smooth ones but as sure as I know that the grass is green and the sky is blue, I know she will hit some bumps in the road.
And so, dear daughter, straddle your work world and your home world with as much grace and balance as you can but remember, all of us fall short of perfection.
Motherhood is a glorious, complicated journey. Sometimes you may find that even when you do your very best you fall short. Trust in God and always seek His guidance!? I love you Rachel. Enjoy your journey!

Importance of Home Inspections | Improvement Home
Why Are Electrical Inspections Important?
The advantage of having a qualified electrician to perform an inspection for you is after general inspector is finished and has pointed out infractions an electrician can follow up and do a more thorough inspection, explaining to you not only why the issues may or may not exist but how to repair them.
Electrical inspections generally performed only by a certified home inspector for someone who is buying a home. While there is nothing wrong with this as a general inspection, a home inspector is not a qualified electrician. While home inspectors are very well versed in the general condition of a home, they bring in specialists to test for insect damage and radon. Don't you think your electrical safety is equally important.
Importance of Home Inspections
Home Inspectors are trained to point out electrical problems such as a double tapped circuit, ungrounded receptacles, point out where a GFCI receptacle is needed or unsafe electrical service panels these are helpful when purchasing a building. They are not allowed to give you electrical advice.
The advantage of having a qualified electrician to perform an inspection for you is after general inspector is finished and has pointed out infractions an electrician can follow up and do a more thorough inspection, explaining to you not only why the issues may or may not exist but how to repair them. For instance, a receptacle may not be grounded. A home inspector might even point out that it is because of knob and tube wiring without an electrician's proper metering equipment and the ability to use it correctly, you will not know for sure. If the inspector is right, they probably won't know all of the ways that this can be corrected because they are not required to keep up with all of the current codes that electricians must.
This problem can be resolved by simply having a two prong receptacle instead of a three prong receptacle, the reason the code allows this because the absence of a third prong to an electrician means that there may be the absence of a ground. Scarily what this may mean to a home owner is brake off the round prong of an extension cord making it extremely unsafe. Another way that this could be corrected is by installing a ground fault receptacle, which actually measures the current going through the plug itself and will trip if there is a in balance in current. While both of these will meet the requirements of the code, you are still left with the unsafe knob and tub wiring.

How to Create and Operate an Ezine for Profit | Find New Articles at ...
Article by Matthew Baker
Maybe it shouldn?t occur as a large shock, but most persons online and some self-possessed ezine distributors usually do not know what the concept EZINE actually implies.
Ezines are electric ebooks distributed by e mail or posted with a site. Ezines are usually centered using a specified subject matter. Ezines are just like your common newspaper format of monthly or weekly topical ebooks in an electronic digital format.
The title EZINE doesn?t are available from your phrase Electronic Magazine, result in you could be pondering that the E in electric and also the Zine in newspaper are joined to kind this term.
Truly Ezine arrived through the word FanZine which was a publication having a little subscriber base back then. FanZines had been targeted publications that were definitely usually geared toward unique subjects like Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Football clubs.
Those printed publications had been called ?FanZines?, but have been repeatedly referred to as ?Zines? rather.
Back again to modern days, most Ezines are focused close to specific topics and interest groups, much like the way the Zines after were.
Adding an?E? onto the beginning of the very much coveted publication name?Zines? brings us towards the expression Ezines. This delivers a significantly additional logical explanation of exactly where the concept ?ezines? came from.
Now that we know what ezines are, lets now examine the basics of making and doing enterprise with ezines.
Ezine publishing is a really significant factor in direction of a business? good results for several motives. Basically, it keeps you in contact using your prospective consumers. The relationship between your customers is formed and that is certainly what is essential for believe in and respect.

Severe hunger increases breast cancer risk in war survivors, study suggests
ScienceDaily (Sep. 26, 2012) ? Jewish women who were severely exposed to hunger during World War Two were five times more likely to develop breast cancer than women who were mildly exposed, according to research in the October issue of IJCP, the International Journal of Clinical Practice.
The study also found that women who were up to seven-years-old during that period had a three times higher risk of developing breast cancer than women who were aged 14 years or over.
Sixty-five women diagnosed with breast cancer between 2005 and 2010 were compared with 200 controls without breast cancer. All the women lived in Israel. The women with breast cancer were recruited from five medical centres and the controls were members of various organisations for Jewish World War Two survivors.
"The women who took part in our study had all lived under Nazi control for at least six months" explains Dr Neomi Vin-Raviv from the School of Public Health at the University of Haifa, Israel. "We were keen to see what effect restricted calories during this period had on the development of breast cancer and how exposure at an early age, before breast development, affected the potential risk.
"We believe that our findings will be of interest to clinicians treating women involved in any situation such as war and famine, where food is scarce and hunger is severe."
Key findings of the study included:
- Average age at interview was 76.2 years for the women with breast cancer and 78.3 years for the controls. Women with cancer were more likely to be obese and women in the control group were more likely to be overweight. There were no significant differences in smoking status, alcohol consumption, current physical activity and reproductive and gynaecological characteristics.
- A much higher percentage of the women with breast cancer were seven years old or less at the time of World War Two (49.2%) than the controls (27%). 12% of the women with breast cancer were born during the War, compared with 7.5% of the control group.
- 63% of the women with breast cancer lived under direct Nazi rule, compared with 83.5% of the controls, and the remainder lived in "independent countries" that co-operated with the Nazi regime.
- 61.5% of the women with breast cancer experienced severe hunger, compared with 37% of the women without breast cancer. The figures for moderate hunger were 17% and 38% respectively and the figures for mild hunger were 21.5% and 25%.
- The odds of developing breast cancer was five times higher in women with severe hunger than mild hunger. Being aged seven-years-old or less increased the odds by 2.8 times.
"The link between restricted calorie intake and cancer is a complex one" says Dr Vin-Raviv. "Several theories are discussed in our paper, but further research into the biological mechanisms are needed.
"What is clear from our study is that there was a clear association between severe hunger and breast cancer in Jewish survivors and that the women who were seven years old or younger during the War were the most affected group.
"These findings are of relevance not only to World War Two survivors, but to other communities that may be currently exposed to restricted calorie intakes."

Take 360-degree tours of the Great Barrier Reef
Catlin Seaview Survey
See dozens of wonders from coral reefs and other exotic seascapes, courtesy of the Catlin Seaview Survey.
By Alan Boyle
Thousands of images from Australia's Great Barrier Reef and other coral locales are being stitched together into an eye-popping array of 360-degree panoramas for Google Maps' Street View feature?? but this million-dollar-plus project isn't just about pretty pictures. It's about sharing the wonders and the woes of the world's coral reefs with people around the globe.
"This will allow the 99.9 percent of the population who have never been diving to go on a virtual dive for the first time," said Richard Vevers, project director for the Catlin Seaview Survey.
In partnership with Google, the Seaview Survey has been mounting a series of expeditions to capture high-resolution imagery of the Great Barrier Reef and other coral reef locales. It's sponsored by Catlin Group Ltd., a global insurance group. The project went through a preview phase back in February, and since then, it has continued to ramp up. Even before the official unveiling, the Seaview Survey has gained more than 1.4 million fans on Google+.
"Now we are actually in full expedition mode," Vevers said. To celebrate Wednesday's official kickoff, the survey is staging its first public real-time dive at the Great Barrier Reef via a Google+ Hangout at 1:30 p.m. ET. It'll be the middle of the night in Australia, but it'll be getting toward midday at the Blue Ocean Film Festival in Monterey, Calif., where Vever and other Seaview Survey organizers are hanging out this week.
Here are some of the 360-degree, Street View-style goodies that are already available via Google Maps:
A video from Google Maps introduces the 360-degree coral reef panoramas.
Vevers and his colleagues aim to take 50,000 shallow-reef pictures, using a specially designed SVII camera. When all those images are stitched together into a continuous skein, the 360-degree panoramas will let users navigate their own way through one long virtual Google Maps dive. There'll also be a deep-reef survey, conducted using picture-snapping robots.
Scientists plan to analyze the photos using image-recognition software to get a quick read on coral reef health.?That's a crucial issue for the decades ahead. Half of the ocean's coral communities have been lost over the past 40 years, said the survey's chief scientist, Ove Hoegh-Guldburg of the University of Queensland's Global Change Institute. The decline is due to a variety of causes, ranging from coastal water quality to overfishing to ocean warming and acidification, he said.
"The evidence of these changes is there, but people outside the scientific community don't understand the significance of those changes," Hoegh-Guldburg told me. "If we're going to tackle these global issues, we need everyone on the planet to understand what we are in danger of losing, and what we can do to stop the decline."
He said the Seaview Survey's biggest benefit will be to give people a greater appreciation of the world's coral reefs, whether they're Australian business executives or Russian grandmothers.
Sharing the seas' wonders
The Seaview Survey aims to conduct regular expeditions that can be shared via Hangouts and other live events. All the scientific data will be made public via an online Global Reef Record database, Hoegh-Guldburg said. He's also looking into ways to enlist volunteers to analyze coral reef pictures, an idea that's taken from the citizen-science playbooks for Zooniverse and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
The survey is due to focus on the Great Barrier Reef and the Coral Sea is due to run until the end of December, and then it'll move on to other locations around the globe, including Hawaii, the Philippines and Bermuda. Hoegh-Guldburg said the survey's tools and techniques are designed to be adapted easily for a wide range of coral reef settings ? including countries that haven't been able to assess their own coral reefs.
"Many of these countries know that their reefs are in trouble, but they don't know how much they're losing, or where they're losing the most," Hoegh-Guldburg said. "This can help them prioritize. If you don't prioritize, it's very hard to get traction."
The way he sees it, the Catlin Seaview Survey is coming just in time.
"Everybody is waking up to the realization that this is a critical decade," Hoegh-Guldburg said. "We're making decisions that could haunt us for hundreds of years if we don't get them right. It's now or never."?

Lost That Loving Feeling? | Couples in Recovery
Simply put: you should be concerned if you are concerned?
The couples who reach a point of dissatisfaction with their romantic relationship that they find themselves considering the need for professional help for their relationship or selecting self-help titles such as ?Awakening To Your Soul Mate: A decision to be IN Love ?? have probably known for some time that something is wrong.
It is generally safe to assume that something is amiss in your romantic relationship if your thoughts, feelings, and desires leave your longing for a real romantic connection.? For the couples that have lost the loving feeling, you can read it in their journal writings.
Mary?s Journal Entry:
??????????? ?I am lost.? I don?t know what happened to the closeness that Harry and I used to enjoy.? Could it be that we were young and immature and easily impressed by the excitement that came so spontaneously in our marriage?? Perhaps the kids have preoccupied too much of our time, love, and attention.? I miss my partner and long to see the excitement in his eyes when I walk into a room.? Nowadays, he seems disinterested in me. He ?politely? tolerates my questions about his work and social activities, but my interest in his life does not appear important to him anymore.? What is going on???
Journal entries of this type are common for romantic partners that have become aware, like Mary has, that something is missing in the relationship.? The alarm that is raised in them by what they have written may stimulate efforts to renew the bond, or renew the excitement, by planning a trip or scheduling a date night.
The same couple is likely to find that date night commitments all too frequently loose their fervor, and the memories of the romantic vacation have faded within a month of their return to the reality of career, home, and family.? They return to the demands of parenting or career challenges and find themselves once again on the treadmill of life.? Something causes one or the other of them to drift off in private thoughts.
A peak into Harry?s solitary thoughts find him scheming about a new romance and his reaction is one of terror.? Let?s do a little eavesdropping.
Harry?s private thoughts:
??????????? ?I need to get a grip of things.? My marriage is dull, boring, and an awful lot of work for very little return.? I don?t find Mary as attractive as I once did and my eyes are frequently wandering around looking for a younger and more mysterious woman to exchange a moment of innocent fanciful intrigue with.? I do not believe that I will ever have an affair ? I love Mary ? but life with her is not exciting and our relationship makes me feel old and undesirable.? I know I am not the young man I once was but this marriage is beginning to feel more and more like a prison than the romantic getaway.? I want and deserve to feel differently.
?Sally (a workplace project partner) makes me laugh and finds my insights amazing.? I feel more valuable to her than I do my own wife.? What is wrong with me? Maybe nothing!? There is nothing wrong with wanting to feel important and desirable.? Besides the relationship is harmless, she knows I am happily married ? I tell her all the time.? Nothing is every going to come of our attraction to each other but why does her interest in me matter so much and why do I so thoroughly look forward to our time together??
Harry?s private thoughts are alarming to him but he has been building quite an extensive system of rationalization and will eventually minimize his concern and silent the alarm until the wanderlust for romantic fantasy is satisfied or worse ? surfaces again with greater force.
Harry, like many partners in a struggling romance, is unhappy and looking for personal fulfillment and excitement. He may be finding it in what has come to be known as a ?work wife.?? There may be nothing sexual or overtly romantic that happens between work spouses for sometime ? or ever, but the risk of infidelity looms large for the partners that look for emotional mates at work or in their community service work.? If the work marriage does not result in a betrayal there is still great potential for harm.? If meaningful communication and emotional intimacy is so very easy to accomplish with a colleague or social contact then why work so hard on opening up to one?s spouse?
For many couples like Mary and Harry, the thought of betraying each other is frightening enough to cause one of them to begin reading books on relationships or searching the internet for couples counseling.? Some partners deal with the fear by driving the desire for a new romance into the deeper recesses of their being along with the lack of fulfillment that they feel in their current relationship and they just get busy with other things in life.
There are still others who are engaging in what they believe to be harmless flirtations. They will miss all the signs that indicate that they are having an emotional affair by rationalizing that there is no harm in having intimate relationships with people other than one?s spouse or partner.? Or they decide that there can be no harm in having an emotionally intimate relationship with someone other than your romantic partner as long as you and your partner have an intimate bond that is mutually satisfying.
It is not likely that a romantic or sexual affair is born out of a magical moment when two lonely throbbing hearts meet across a crowed room.? It may have worked that way in the movies, but in real life affairs are likely to occur after a sort of unspoken courtship period in which the prospective partners decide, supposedly by accident, to take their secret attraction to the next level.
The next snapshot reveals the progressive nature of the dissatisfaction and emptiness that can develop in a romance despite our efforts to avoid the truth.
Donna?s morning prayer:
??????????? ?Thank you God for the opportunity to wake up sober for yet another day.? I am so very grateful for all that I have been blessed with in recovery that I feel somewhat ashamed of myself that I am resentful that I have lost my friend and husband to his isolation and depression.? It has been so long since we were able to talk in an intimate way about subjects other than the children or the needs of our extended family members.? I feel so alone. I want what Doug and I had a couple of years ago;? I want to be safe and to be able to lean on each other for support and rely on each other as an accountability partner.? Please bring back the relationship and bond we once shared.?
People like Donna who struggle with permission to acknowledge the loss that they feel when they are emotionally distant from a romantic partner are likely to keep denying their needs until a betrayal occurs or a romance dies.
Some will be fearful of saying the words ?my spouse and I are in trouble? because they are worried that the acknowledgment of romantic problems will be admitting to failure.? Other people will be bombarded by negative self-talk when they try to bring their concerns up to others because they will feel ashamed of being dissatisfied with their marriage when they have so many other blessings to be grateful for in recovery.
Now, let us turn up the volume so you can hear the conversation she has with herself shortly after completing the prayer above when the ?critical committee? inside Donna?s head challenges her for daring to speak the painful truth.
Donna?s self-talk:
??????????? ?What is the matter with you? You are so ungrateful!? Doug is a good man. Anyone that you know would be thrilled to have him as a spouse.? He works around the house as a full partner and is not concerned with doing what your friend?s husband?s call woman?s work.? Doug provides well for you and loves and cares for his kids in a way you only imagined a family behaving when you were a kid.? He is home every night, does not gamble and does not drink; and you would never ? ever have to be concerned about him being unfaithful.
?What is your problem? Are you not going to be satisfied until you drive him into the arms of another woman?? So he is not open and vulnerable with you and does not know the first thing about emotional intimacy.? So what!? You knew that going to the altar.? It was you that thought you were going to change him.? He did not mislead you.? YOU MADE YOUR BED, NOW LAY IN IT.?
Donna is repeatedly reassuring herself that she is not only wrong for feeling romantically unsatisfied, but she has only herself to blame for her situation evolving the way it has. Still others will block out the unhappiness and concern with anger or denial of the need for a more emotionally intimate romantic relationship.? Regardless of your approach, is it safe to say that there is a real problem if you find yourself praying about it.
It is wise to respond to the concerns that you or others raise about your romance, regardless of the way in which those concerns come into your awareness.? Try and refrain from comparing your relationship to those you see around you. ?Try also to refrain from comparing your relationship to memories of past relationships that you have experienced or observed.
Feel free to compare your relationship to the way that you would like it to be.
It is all right to have great expectations for your relationship with your romantic partner.? Those who might claim that your discomfort is coming from your unreasonable expectations and are quick to tell you that you want too much from your romance are probably in a relationship that you would find unattractive or have spent years in their own relationship that they found unfulfilling. Do not settle for less than honesty, openness, mutual support, respectful and loving treatment, intimate communication, being able to count on your partner ? if these are in fact the attributes you are looking for in your relationship.
Simply put, you should be concerned if you are concerned.? You should certainly be concerned if you have lost that loving feeling.
