!FOOD FOR THOUGHTS!
ICILE OF DEATH!
The sinking brine is so cold that it causes the seawater to freeze around it.
BBC film crews recorded the brinicle for the first time ever as it sunk to the bottom of the sea in Antarctica.

ARTIST OF THE WEEK: CHRIS BERENS
Amsterdam artist Chris Berens is an anomaly in the art world, an expert painter who does not use traditional media (he uses inks on photo paper rather than oils on canvas…and no digital or photographic elements whatsoever), but creates some of the most compellingly executed, enigmatic, and emotionally resonant paintings.
His work features a fantastical mélange of exotic creatures and 18th century imagery, floating in buttermilk colored clouds or silvery sea blues. Photo realistic, totem-like animals and distorted childlike people float like dreams through blurry surrealistic European cityscapes or drift on stormy seas on decrepit ships in a soft focus haze, shimmering as if in a fevered dream. It is almost shocking to look at, but in the gentlest of ways.

?FIRST NATIONWIDE EMERGENCY TEST?
The 30-second test, to be overseen by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency and the Federal Communications Commission, will run on radio,
satellite radio and TV stations in all 50 states and U.S. territories.
It will include alert "beeps" and the words "This is a test."
Here's how FEMA explains it:
We need to know that the system will work as intended should public safety officials ever need to send an alert or warning to a large region of the United States. Only a complete test of the Emergency Alert System can help us identify any changes and improvements needed to modernize this system and make it fully accessible.
I don't buy it one bit.
