TANZANIA Airports Authority (TAA) has written a letter to Fly540 (T) Ltd (FastJet) demanding payment of 570,668,242/- and 95,360.50 US dollars.
The money is an outstanding debt on landing and parking charges. The letter dated February 12, this year, also requires the airline to provide the authority within three working days a clear position regarding the clearance of the unpaid outstanding debt.
"Kindly note that, if we don't receive any statement from your office within the stated period, Tanzania Airport Authority will opt for other measures to ensure your company pays the outstanding amount," reads the letter signed by Mr Joachim Maambo on behalf of the TAA Director General. According to the TAA, the outstanding debt as at November 2012 amounted to 345,541,732/- and 81,938.50 US dollars.
"É and as at January 31, 2013 the amount is 224,813,040/- which accrued from the invoices drawn from TAA headquarters and 313,470/- and 13,422.00 US dollars accrued from the invoices drawn from the Arusha Airport", the letter reads further. TAA is complaining that the airline has remained silent on the matter despite TAA's reminder letter dated November 9 last year and Tanzania Civil Aviation Aviation Authority (TCAA) letter dated November 15 last year.
"Take note that, todate we've not received any letter from you providing us with your company's position regarding our claims on the unpaid outstanding debt as you were required to do so by TCAA vide their letter in reference," the letter stresses. Efforts to get comments from the airline management proved futile by press time.
Controversy has surrounded the operations of the airline since its commencement last year. However, the FastJet's Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mr Ed Winter, last week told this newspaper in telephone interview from London that allegations levelled against the airline are false.
In June last year, UK's listed FastJet which was formerly known as Rubicon Diversified Investments Plc, acquired Lonrho Aviation and thus gaining control of assets and liabilities of the company in Tanzania, Angola, Kenya and Ghana. The new company re-branded in Tanzania from Fly540 to FastJet Tanzania in November, last year but it continued using Fly540 brand in Angola and Ghana.

Okay, everyone calls me racist etc, but would you believe ACP is racist to BLACK PEOPLE and JEWS?
Okay, Kingfunks himself is a RACIST. He made fun of Pain [PRETZEL LEADER] comparing him with Adolf Hitler and using the Hitler picture, and he also made fun of BLACK PEOPLE.
Picture of him being racist and impersonating Pain (refering him as HITLER)
Flipper, a retired ACP leader (I think he and kenneth should be leading ACP instead of these idiots) told Funks this was banned, which was good of him. Funks however is a stupid 12 year old who thinks he can do whatever he wants since he is a former ACP leader and ACP 2ic.
Funks also made a racist statement in his "victory" post of Mittens (although Pirates kicked their ass)
As you can see, there is a ACP troop (Dabestpengu2) saying "PIRATES ARE BROWN EWWWWWWWW". This is VERY racist and offensive, due to the fact that he's discriminating pirates for being brown. Funks also nick named us "Poop Warriors" for simply being brown. There is nothing wrong with being brown on club penguin, if there was why would club penguin add the color? Funks tried backing up his racist comment with this:
The ACP is not saying that black people are bad or anything, we are just saying being brown on a VIRTUAL, ONLINE game is not good. It's two different complexions and we do not endorse racism. Any racist comments to black people will result in harsh punishments.
That's a fail excuse to use that type of racism. I also laughed when he said being brown on club penguin is bad, if being brown is bad what about being black on club penguin? if being brown was bad on club penguin I am sure club penguin wouldn't have added this "bad" color to club penguin anyway. I know one of their troops, Superoo , is black and I am sure he would have found this offensive. This isn't the first time either, they used to call Nachos border hoppers (Mexicans crossing the American border)
So ACP's 2ic Kingfunks4 is racist, and ACP agree with his racism which results ACP , the army itself to be racist.

Nice... I'm on the lookout for good R guides. Trying to put my finger
on what makes it hard to grok.
A licensing rant, though. You write:
[R is] a public-domain implementation of the widely-regarded S
statistical language.
It is *not* public domain. It's copyrighted (per my Debian distro's
r-base copyright file), and contains the following copyright notices:

There is one reference to "public domain" in a Knuth Marsienne
implmentation, though it's a conditioned PD grant (e.g.:
What R is, properly, is a FSF Free Software / OSI Open Source
project released under (mostly) the GNU GPL.

One of my confusions is that I'm used to languages (SAS, awk, Perl,
Python) which largely act rowwise on data. R can act on a row, a
column, on a frame, or on a more complex object, which hurts my brain.
A good intro to using R in emacs / xemacs would be useful as I think R
would benefit by the IDE environment emacsen make possible.

BEIRUT: The Army said Friday it detained eight Syrians in east Lebanon and confiscated their truck, which contained large quantities of arms and rocket-propelled grenades.
As part of its mission to control the border and prevent the smuggling of arms and gunmen along the Lebanon-Syria frontier, the Army said it took action after "spotting a suspicious pick-up truck in the Baalbek-Bekaa region at 2 a.m." The Army instructed the truck to stop, but it defied the order.
The individuals in the truck pointed their guns at the Army unit, but soldiers were able to surround the vehicle and force the armed men out of the bus.
"[The Army] detained those inside, who turned out to be eight Syrian individuals. Their truck, which was confiscated, contained large amounts of arms, light and medium weaponry, ammunition, hand grenades, B-7 rocket-propelled grenades, electric detonators and communications devices," the statement said.
The detained men were referred to the appropriate judicial authority.
Since the uprising against the rule of Syrian President Bashar Assad erupted some 18 months ago, the central Bekaa village of Majdal Anjar and the Baalbek town of Arsal have become main destinations for Syrian refugees and activists alike. Geographical proximity and the anti-Assad sentiment in the two villages have turned them into the primary refuge for many.
Majdal Anjar and Arsal, however, have also come under attack by Syrian officials and some Lebanese politicians who allege that it has become a breeding ground for extremist militants, including Al-Qaeda fighters looking to join the battle against the Syrian regime. The two towns are also said to be vital routes for the smuggling of weapons to rebels in Syria.
Several politicians have warned against the 18-month-old unrest in Syria spilling over to Lebanon, which is equally split between opponents and supporters of the Assad rule.

King of Hearts (original French title: Le Roi de Cœur) is a French film set in a small town in France near the end of World War I. As a German army retreats they booby-trap the whole town to explode. The locals flee and, left to their own devices, a gaggle of cheerful lunatics escape the asylum and take over the town — thoroughly confusing the lone Scottish soldier who has been dispatched to defuse the bomb.
This 1966 film, directed by Philippe de Broca, stars Alan Bates as Charles Plumpick, a kilt-wearing Scottish soldier who is sent by his commanding officer to disarm the bomb.
When Plumpick enters the town, he unknowingly leaves the door to the insane asylum open while being chased by the Germans. When the Germans have left the town, all of the inmates leave the asylum and playfully take over the town. The adorable lunatics coronate Plumpick King of Hearts with surreal pageantry as he frantically tries to find the bomb before it goes off.
The film ends with the question of who is more insane, those in the asylum or the soldiers on the battlefield.
Two versions of the film were released. The original is black and white and in French with English subtitles, while the second version is in color and spoken in English.


text: I love koRn more today, than yesterday, thank you for the great news for the day :) I knew he/koRn would take more risk, because Jonathan is free, never to forfeit his freedom out of fear. He simply does not care. He is a smart man (he knows life-has lived it, not sheltered in the least), because when he is old gray, he will have a minimal if any, of those fucking 'ifs', if I should have done this. If If If If, I had not been afraid. Afraid of failure or what others will think. Jonathan/koRn are very admirable and inspirational! I am so thankful they drew me in!

Charlie Wallace to retire as chaplain; Karen Wood will step into role
For 27 years, Charlie Wallace has been a particularly eloquent (and occasionally hilarious) facilitator of spiritual growth, understanding, and connection with Willamette's Methodist heritage. He has touched countless lives, and, yes, married more WU alumni couples than any of us can keep track of.
He'll be retiring after this year, though he will remain on board afterward as a part-time professor in religious studies. Fans and supporters can come to campus soon for a reception in Goudy in honor of Wallace and all that he's done for the university.
Celebrating University Chaplain Charlie Wallace
Friday, April 20
3:30 - 5 p.m. | Goudy Commons
Memory Book contributions
We're putting together a memory book for Wallace; if you'd like to contribute to it, please email us at email@example.com, send us a letter, or use the comment field on the RSVP page above. We would love to have your input. Entries should be no more than 400 words and need to be received by April 13.
Also, if you would like to make a charitable gift to the annual fund in honor of Charlie's service to the Willamette community, you can do so online, simply noting Charlie's name in the 'in honor' section. Checks may be sent to Annual Giving, Willamette University, 900 State Street, Salem OR 97301.
Karen Wood to assume role
Our consolation, of course, is that the Rev. Dr. Karen Wood (above, left), another longtime member of the Willamette community, will take over when Wallace retires. Many current and former students (and faculty, and staff, and Salem locals, and...) know Karen for her tireless work with the Lilly Project, as well as her role as a teacher and vocational mentor.

Campus Connection
Men's basketball is planning an evening for the ladies on Wednesday, Dec. 8, 2010 at the WVU Coliseum. Basketball's Director of Operations Jerrod Calhoun came up with the idea while on a trip to Kentucky with coach Bob Huggins to work a clinic for John Calipari.
"Their GA played for me at Walsh and he was telling me what they did," said Calhoun. "I said, 'Huggs let's do it.'"
Calhoun said this event is going to be more of an informational gathering than an actual clinic, with demonstrations and question-and-answer sessions part of the three-hour presentation.
"It's going to be from 6 to 9 and we're going to have an NCAA official come in and give a general explanation of the rules," said Calhoun. "Then we will have Huggs talk about our offense – passing the ball and show them how our guys are supposed to cut to the basket."
There will be stations set up around the Coliseum and Calhoun said they have different plans to accommodate groups of all sizes.
"We might take them into the film room and show them how we prepare for an opponent," he said. "The objective is when they come to future games with their family they know what to look for and what we're doing out there."
There will be a tour of West Virginia's facilities, a catered meal, and each participant will receive a t-shirt and have a photo opportunity with Bob Huggins.
Those interested in attending can get more information by calling the Mountaineer basketball office at (304) 293-5482. The deadline for registering is Wednesday, Dec. 1, 2010.
Thursday Tidbits …
- Here are some expanded numbers to illustrate just how well West Virginia's defense has played so far this year. The Mountaineers have yet to give up a rushing touchdown at Milan Puskar Stadium (both rushing TDs have come on the road at LSU and at Connecticut).
Each quarter as defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel gets a better idea of how offenses are going to attack him, the opposing team's average per rush has declined from 4.13 yards per carry in the first quarter, to 2.84 in the second quarter, to 2.79 in the third quarter, to finally, 2.27 yards per carry in the fourth quarter.
And, in the middle of the field when the playbook is wide open, Casteel's Crew is limiting teams to just 1.85 yards per rush and a 47.8-percent completion percentage with four interceptions during offensive plays between the 40s.
One other impressive defensive stat: Teams are completing only 52.1 percent of their third-down pass attempts against the Mountaineers (37 of 71 for 316 yards). Casteel said one of their objectives was getting off the field on third down and through eight games West Virginia has been able to do that.
- For those of you that may be curious, Nebraska this week leads the country in plays from scrimmage of more than 50 yards with 13. San Diego State is right behind the Cornhuskers with 12. Oregon's high-powered offense is ranked sixth this week with 10 plays of more than 50 yards. Here is the breakdown of the top Big East teams with plays of 50 yards or more from scrimmage:
Cincinnati, 8
Pitt, 6
Connecticut, 5
South Florida, 5
Louisville, 4
Rutgers, 3
West Virginia, 2
Syracuse, 1
- Parking coordinator Joyce Bucklew asked me to remind those planning to park their RVs at the WVU Coliseum that they must wait until after midnight on Friday night to enter the Coliseum lot following the conclusion of the men's and women's basketball doubleheader.
The Mountaineer women open their regular season at 7 p.m. against Loyola, Maryland while the men will take on Oakland at approximately 9 p.m. Both games will be televised nationally on ESPN3.com.
- Earlier this morning, it was announced that advance ticket sales for Friday night's Oakland game has been halted. According to Sports Marketing Director Matt Wells, men's basketball established another record for season ticket sales this year by topping 7,800. It is the sixth consecutive year men's basketball has achieved a record number of season ticket purchases.
- Sports Information Director Bryan Messerly tells me five NBA scouts will be in attendance for Friday's West Virginia-Oakland game to get a look at the Golden Grizzlies' senior center Keith Benson. Last year, Benson averaged 17.3 points and 10.5 rebounds per game to earn Summit League MVP honors. Against Pitt in the first round of last year's NCAA tournament Benson scored 28 points and grabbed nine boards against the Panthers.
- Bob Huggins' five-player early signing class was rated 24th in the country by ESPN's recruiting insider. Seven Big East schools are ranked in the Top 25, including No. 5 Louisville. The others are No. 7 St. John's, No. 9 Syracuse, No. 11 Rutgers, No. 21 Georgetown and No. 22 Villanova.
St. John's and Rutgers are both signing huge recruiting classes this year, the Red Storm have inked five players so far and have 10 scholarships while Rutgers has commitments from seven different players.
- Women's coach Mike Carey landed two players listed among ESPNU's girls basketball top 100 in point guard Linda Stepney and forward Averee Fields. Stepney from Lake Taylor High School in Norfolk, Va., is the nation's No. 68-rated player while Fields, a 6-foot forward from Hazell, Ky., is the nation's No. 80-rated player.
- The Mountaineer women's soccer team is back in the top 10 for the first time since September, 2009. This week, Soccer America has West Virginia seventh in its top 25 poll. West Virginia reached sixth in the coaches' poll during the 2006 season.
WVU has the nation's fourth-longest winning streak at 12 games (a school record) and will face Morehead State Friday night at Dick Dlesk Stadium at 6 p.m. It is the fifth time Morgantown has been the host site for an NCAA tournament women's soccer event and this year marks the fourth time the Mountaineers have been seeded entering the tournament.
Coach Nikki Izzo-Brown is making her 11th consecutive NCAA tournament appearance.
Penn State and Penn will play the first game at 3:30 p.m. with the winner facing the WVU-Morehead State winner at 1 p.m. on Sunday. All three matches will be video streamed for free.
- The WVU men's soccer team will have a pretty strong case to make when NCAA tournament at-large bids are awarded next Monday:
No. 27 in this week's RPI
Seven wins against the RPI Top 100
Thirteen of West Virginia's 19 matches against RPI Top 63
Five wins against RPI Top 63
Only two teams (Notre Dame and Wake Forest) have played more RPI Top 75 teams than West Virginia
The overall record of West Virginia's 19 opponents this season is 170-114-58 as of Nov. 8
Hopefully that will be enough to get the 10-7-2 Mountaineers into the Big Dance.
- The volleyball team will be rooting for Villanova to win its pair of matches this weekend against Georgetown and USF. The Wildcats, at 21-6, are still playing for an NCAA tournament at-large bid and have already wrapped up one of the eight spots in the Big East tournament.
West Virginia, meanwhile, is currently 12th in the conference standings but can jump up into the top eight by winning its two remaining regular season matches against St. John's and UConn and having Syracuse lose its final two matches against conference leaders Louisville and Cincinnati. If West Virginia finishes tied with South Florida, the Mountaineers will go to the tournament because they beat the Bulls earlier this year in Morgantown.
"If the teams that should win do win then we can get in," said West Virginia's first-year coach Jill Kramer.
- I ran into former WVU football player Rico Tyler a few weeks ago during homecoming weekend. He is now Associate Vice President for student affairs at DePaul University.
It's always nice seeing former Mountaineers doing well.
Happy Veterans Day everyone!

I havent been doing much on the blog currently, Ive been busy. School, homework, reports, blah blah blah…..
Has anyone here heard of word mania? I've been playing it online alot, its awesome , the qualifying round is over but I made it into the semi finals, unfortunately I didn't make it into the finals.
I came 19th in Tasmania. In my age group, that was when I finished the round.
I highly reccommend it to anyone that enjoys computers, games, and literacy. Did I mention that you could win prizes?
G'day Remy.
I had never heard of that competition, but congratulations on getting to the semi finals. That can be hard to do and must have taken a lot of effort on your part.
Hi everyone,
I have played word mania and I have to say that it is very very addicting and fun

Oregon Tech follows Oregon University System (OUS) travel policies, with a few exceptions. As OUS makes changes to their policies and reimbursement rates, there may be lag time between OUS policy updates and adoption by Oregon Tech as changes are reviewed for applicability to Oregon Tech campuses. In some cases, Oregon Tech will elect to keep lower reimbursement rates.
Oregon Tech employees may access discounted rates for both business and personal travel through Enterprise Rent-A-Car or Hertz Rental.

I tried Maya, 3Ds and other programs and also found them impossible to work with.
For Hexagon I find fo me personally it has also too many nothing saying icons. I have to scroll over it and only then I know what t does, and next time I want to use it I have to search for it and yet again scroll over it to see its description.
The more you use it the easier it gets but in the meantime if there are some that you use a lot you can add them to a custom tab to make them easier to find. They are also available from drop down menus along the top of the interface. You may find them easier to find that way.
edited to add that it's easy to add to the custom tab, just right click and the dialogue pops up and asks if you want to add it to the custom tab.
Yes, the Custom Labs are very helpful. I ave already popped a few items into it.
Other icons I find rather difficult to use. There are some when I select them the object to be changed jumps all over the place at the slightest mouse movement.
I had similar issues when I first started that when I extruded I found it difficult to control. It just takes practice and taking it slowly. I also found using the following process helped. Select the face you want to extrude, then hit Ctrl and the curser will change. Use the universal gizmo to control where it goes.
The other thing that I've found helps while getting used to the controls is to type the numbers in via the property tab.
Hope that helps…
Thats a very nice tip. Thanks a lot

Gawker: 'Armed Militia' of Soldiers Plotted to Take Over Army Base, Assassinate Obama
-By John Cook
August 27, 2012- According to this four-paragraph Associated Press story that raises more questions than it answers, four soldiers based in Georgia hatched an "anarchist" plot to assassinate Barack Obama and take control of Fort Stewart, and then allegedly killed a fellow soldier to keep their plans secret.
According to the story—which will hopefully be updated in short order—one of the accused, Pfc. Michael Burnett, pleaded guilty today in a Long County, Georgia courtroom to the murder of his former comrade Michael Roark and Roark's 17-year-old girlfriend.
Burnett told a Long County judge that Roark, who had just left the Army, knew of the militia group's plans and was killed because he was "a loose end."
Gawker: Leader of Army Plot to Assassinate Obama Apparently Attended the 2008 Republican Convention as a Page
-By John Cook
August 27, 2012- Isaac Aguigui, the Army private and alleged ringleader of a plot to assassinate Barack Obama and "take over" Ft. Stewart in Georgia, apparently served as a page at the 2008 Republican National Convention in Minnesota. That's his mug shot after he was arrested for the alleged murder of Pvt. Michael Roark on the left. At right is a 2008 Reuters photo with the caption: "Republican National Convention page Isaac Aguigui watches from the edge of the floor at the start of the first session of the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota September 1, 2008."
Huffington Post: Military Terror Plot: Murder Case Uncovers Terror Plot By 'Militia' Within U.S. Military
-By Russ Bynum, Associated Press
Augsut 27, 2012- LUDOWICI, Ga. — Four Army soldiers based in southeast Georgia killed a former comrade and his girlfriend to protect an anarchist militia group they formed that stockpiled assault weapons and plotted a range of anti-government attacks, prosecutors told a judge Monday.
Prosecutors in rural Long County, near the sprawling Army post Fort Stewart, said the militia group of active and former U.S. military members spent at least $87,000 buying guns and bomb components. They allege the group was serious enough to kill two people – former soldier Michael Roark and his 17-year-old girlfriend, Tiffany York – by shooting them in the woods last December in order to keep its plans secret.
Talking Points Memo: Texas Judge Warns Of 'Civil War, Maybe' If Obama Wins
-By Nick R Martin
August 22, 2012- Texas Judge Tom Head is worried about what might happen if President Obama wins reelection in November. There could be riots, unrest or a "civil war, maybe," he told a local television station this week.
Because of that, the Lubbock County judge has decided the only way to prepare is to increase taxes to help beef up local law enforcement.
"I'm thinking worst case scenario now," Head said during an appearance on FOX 34 in Lubbock. "Civil unrest, civil disobedience, civil war, maybe. And we're not talking just a few riots here and demonstrations, we're talking Lexington, Concord, take up arms and get rid of the guy."
Canada.Com: Sheriff: Suspects in killings of 2 Louisiana deputies linked to anti-government extremists
-By Cain Burdeau, The Associated Press
August 19, 2012- NEW ORLEANS - A sheriff says seven people arrested in a fatal shootout with Louisiana deputies have been linked to violent anarchists on the FBI's domestic terrorism watch lists.
DeSoto Parish Sheriff Rodney Arbuckle said his detectives had been monitoring the group before Thursday's shootout in Laplace, a suburb of New Orleans. Two deputies were killed and two more wounded.
Arbuckle said Saturday his detectives and the work of other law enforcement agencies discovered the suspects were heavily armed adherents to an ideology known as the "sovereign citizens" movement.
The FBI has classified "sovereign citizens" as people who believe they are free from all duties of a U.S. citizen, like paying taxes. The FBI considers them a danger for making threats to judges and law enforcement, using fake currency and impersonating police officers.

|calendar>>June 26. 2014 Juche 103
Provincial Mass Rallies Held
| Pyongyang, June 26 (KCNA) -- Mass rallies took place in South Phyongan, South Hamgyong and Ryanggang provinces on Thursday on the occasion of the day of struggle against U.S. imperialism which falls on June 25.
Present there were officials of the local party, power and economic organs and working organizations, people of all social strata, youth and students.
Speeches were made at the rallies.
Speakers condemned the U.S. imperialists for igniting the Korean war of aggression and imposing disastrous misfortune and calamities on the Korean nation 64 years ago and trying to unleash a new war.
They went on:
The past Fatherland Liberation War was a grim revolutionary war in which the DPRK firmly defended the freedom and independence of the country and the gains of the revolution from the armed invasion by the enemy. The U.S. imperialists committed inhuman crimes unprecedented in the world war history.
The historic victory in the Fatherland Liberation War was the shining victory of the outstanding military idea, Juche-based war method and superb strategy and tactics of President Kim Il Sung and the victory of the burning patriotism and indomitable fighting spirit of the army and people of the DPRK who waged a heroic struggle, rallied firm around the party and the leader.
The U.S. imperialists are working hard to ignite a new war with bloodshot eyes, far from drawing a lesson from the disgraceful defeat they suffered in the Korean war though many years have passed since they signed the surrender document.
We will wipe out the U.S. imperialist aggressors, the sworn enemies, and the south Korean puppet forces to the last man, accomplish the historic cause of national reunification, accelerate the building of a thriving socialist nation and thus accomplish the revolutionary cause of Juche.
Then followed anti-U.S. demos.

The Meaning and Design Behind "On" and "Off"
The Meaning and Design Behind "On" and "Off"
Jason Lang, over at Unplggd, shared an interesting bit of information on the symbology of power switches. It's something we don't think about much, since just moving or compressing a switch toward the opposite direction usually whirs a device to life. But there have been times when I've been unsure if I actually turned a device on or not, and then I find myself staring at the circle and line and wondering which switch is which. Never again!
According to Lang, The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the group behind the standard that provides the following definitions:
IEC 5007, the power on (line) symbol, appearing on a button or one end of a toggle switch indicates that the control places the equipment into a fully powered state. It comes from the binary system (1 or | means on)
IEC 5008, the power off (circle) symbol on a button or toggle, indicates that using the control will disconnect power to the device. It comes from the binary system (0 means off)
IEC 5010, the power on-off symbol (line within a circle), is used on buttons that switch a device between on and fully off states.
IEC 5009, the standby symbol (line partially within a broken circle), indicates a sleep mode or low power state. The switch does not fully disconnect the device from its power supply. This may appear on a toggle switch opposite a power on symbol, alone on a pushbutton that places the device into a standby state, or alone on a button that switches between on and standby.
A crescent moon, indicating sleep, is added by IEEE 1621 as a replacement for the standby symbol.
There you have it! Though I was aware that many devices remain on standby (TVs, stereos, computers) I did not know that the broken circle power button is actually a symbol for that meaning, something good to know if you're trying to conserve/reduce electricity use.

This reminds me that when I installed FC3 from CCRMA, I choose NOT to install any of the "Development" packages like: "Development Tools" "X Software Development" "Gnome Software Development" etc Would installing these have prevented these dependency problems? I thought I'd try to go back and add them from the FC3 CDs but when I check them and say "go" I get a "Packages Not Found" error pop-up saying installation cannot continue because a bunch of packages could not be found like netpbm, xorg-x11-libs, glib2, pygtk2, gtk2. So now I can't even add packages from the original FC3 CDs I installed from. 8^( help.... 8^) Mike Mike Jewell One-Up Audio

Arusha — THE government mulls using the military and heavy weaponry to fight poaching in the country, the Minister for Natural Resources and Tourism has said.
Addressing a press conference shortly after meeting with stakeholders in the hunting industry on Thursday, Ambassador Khamis Kagasheki said different ideas and suggestions cropped up during the meeting on how to address the issue of poaching.
He said some of the stakeholders proposed that the government use the military to fight poaching of wild animals, noting that the idea will be taken on board for consideration and looked at in a broader sense to ensure such a move present long lasting solutions.
Other issues discussed include challenges stakeholders in the industries face, which include bureaucratic red tape by state officials that make investment difficult in the country. "We had a fruitful meeting with stakeholders in the hunting industry, we discussed extensively and brainstormed on ideas that will help address poaching and challenges they face as investors," he explained.
Lengthy paperwork and a horde of licences is also another challenge that was raised in the said will be looked into to make investing in the country easier. "They explained that it's much harder to invest here than our neighbouring countries, without mentioning any names, because of a lot of bureaucratic red tape and a lot of licences needed before establishing a venture," he added.
He concurred with the stakeholders that such lengthy processes and documentation that investors must go through is not healthy for business in the country, noting that his ministry will work to make investment environment more favourable.
The minister urged the stakeholders to help the government fight poaching in their areas of investment, adding that leaving the fight to the government alone will not achieve the goal of curbing poaching. He said poachers have extensive networks within and outside the country and use sophisticated weapons com- pared to local authorities fighting them.
"We are seriously considering using more advanced weap- ons in the fight to counter the poachers who use sophisticated weapons," he noted. The minister also said that his ministry has started reviewing existing laws governing wildlife and before the end of the year, recommendations will be presented to the Attorney General.

casting a vent to anchor plate transition
thinking of casting a vent to anchor plate transition out of the high heat morar I am using. It is called moldit x also called devils putty.
3 questions.
1. Is this morar suitable for casting this?
2. Should I drop in scrap pieces of brick into the mix?
3. Will the mortar heat up differently than brick so things dont heat up and
draw properly?......thanks wayne
Re: casting a vent to anchor plate transition
1. Good question for the manufacturer. I would think castables and mortar are different animals.
2. Yes if you intend to do this you should put some type of binding material in it. Chunks of brick stainless needles,ect.
3. Don't know the specs of your mortar, but HeatStop and Refmix I believe are almost identicle to firebrick, they are designed that way, so that would not be an issue.
Re: casting a vent to anchor plate transition
Thanks Wade
I also have a gas welder, I could weld something up out of steel but not sure how that would heat up and act for chimney draw compared to brick. Any ideas?
Re: casting a vent to anchor plate transition
Not to butt in guys...
But can the mix-it-yourself high-temp mortar be casted?
I'm not going to cast any, but I am curious, and I thought this might be a good place to ask.
by the way.. You two are doing great!
Re: casting a vent to anchor plate transition
You could make a steel vent, but you would want to make sure it is well insulated.
Casting is really easy though. I used KS-4, took one 5 gallon bucket, and cost about $70. Add to that 1 lb of stainless needles at $5.00 plus shipping so it was fairly economical. I used left over peices of foam board to glue together and shape for a plug and to make the form. It is thick enough that I only formed up two of the sides.
I suspect you could use a pre-mixed mortar like Heatstop or Refmix (wouldn't use home mix bexcause of possible ratio errors) for the vent as long as you have a binder mixed in. You would not want to load this type of vent with anything of any real weight on top and you would want to make sure to keep a good 1" or more of wall thickness. As long as you did that I would think it might work. I emphasize might because you would using it in a way the manuf did not intend. I did consider that myself, but with my enclosure if something went wrong I might not know until some real damage was done. In the end the expense was reasonable, the casting went smoothly, and I don't have to spend a second thought about it.
Re: casting a vent to anchor plate transition
Thanks Wade
What are stainless needless and how would they be used in this applicaion. I will ask my supplier of the moldit x if it is any good for casting. ...wayne

SEC Football Week 4 Handicapping Guide
- Updated: September 18, 2012
SEC Football Week 4 Handicapping Guide
The SEC enters Week 4 of the college football season with six teams ranked in the latest AP Top 25 poll. Tennessee dropped out after its 37-20 loss to Florida as a three-point favorite at home but the Gators moved to No.14. No.5 Georgia and No.7 South Carolina are the other two teams ranked in the East Division while the West has No.1 Alabama, No.2 LSU and No.23 Mississippi State. The following is a look at a couple of the top matchups for Week 4 in the SEC along with betting lines as provided by 5Dimes.
Missouri Tigers vs. South Carolina Gamecocks (-10)
Missouri came up woefully short in its first ever SEC opener in Week 2 with a 41-20 loss to Georgia as a one-point underdog at home. It now has to go on the road for the first time this season as a 10-point underdog. The Tigers are 2-1straight-up on the year and ranked 37th in the nation in scoring with an average of 35.3 points a game.
The Gamecocks struggled to get by Vanderbilt in their SEC opener but have rolled over East Carolina and UAB by a combined score of 97-16 in their last two games. Quarterback Conner Shaw has been hampered with a sore shoulder, but running back Marcus Lattimore has returned to form with a total of 235 yards rushing in the first three games.
The Tigers are 1-5 against the spread in their last six games following a SU win, while South Carolina is 4-0 ATS in its last four following one. The total has gone OVER in five of Missouri's last seven road games and in six of the Gamecocks last eight games in September.
LSU Tigers (-18.5) vs. Auburn Tigers
LSU has not scored less than 40 points and has not given-up more than 14 in its first three games, so the balance on both sides of the ball that was present last season is clearly back again this year. Kenny Hilliard and Alfred Blue have already combined for 573 yards rushing and eight touchdowns on the ground.
Auburn started the season with an eight-point loss to No.10 Clemson as a two-point underdog at home. It lost its SEC opener to Mississippi State 28-10 as a three-point underdog on the road. Only two years removed from winning a national title, these Tigers are barely a middle-of-road team in the high-powered SEC.
The home team in this series is 8-3-1 ATS in the last 12 meetings and the favorite is 4-0 ATS in the last four. LSU is 1-4-1 ATS in its last six games in Auburn and the total has stayed UNDER in five of those games. The total has stayed UNDER in nine of the last 12 meetings overall.
Vanderbilt Commodores vs. Georgia Bulldogs (-14)
Vanderbilt's near miss against South Carolina at home was followed by a stunning 23-13 loss to Northwestern as a three-point favorite on the road. The Commodores are averaging 191 yards a game on the ground led by running back Zac Stacy's 258 yards on 48 carries.
Georgia continues to move up the ranks and cracked the top five with a 56-20 pasting of Florida Atlantic but it could not cover as a 41.5-point favorite at home. The Bulldogs' running game is even more productive than Vandy's with an average of 222.7 yards a game. Todd Gurley leads the team in rushing with 276 yards on just 28 carries.
The Commodores are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games on the road and the Bulldogs are 0-5 ATS in their last five home games. Georgia has won nine of the last 10 meetings SU, but the series is tied at five games apiece ATS. The total has stayed UNDER in four of the last five meetings.

AFRICAN governments must commit themselves to training a cadre of world-class scientists and technologists if they are to avoid economic and social catastrophe on an unprecedented scale in the next century, according to new proposals published this week by the World Bank*. In the short term, these countries must staunch their serious 'brain drain': more than 70,000 trained Africans have chosen to remain in Europe and many of the 34,000 Africans studying in the US in 1985, for example, will probably stay there.
In the fourth - and most comprehensive - of its studies on sub-Saharan Africa to date, the World Bank outlines strategies through which Africans might free themselves from the present crisis in their economies, environment and quality of life.
After an initial period of growth following independence, most African economies have faltered and declined. Apart from a few exceptions, sub-Saharan Africa has witnessed almost a decade of ...

First Lady Michelle Obama on 'The Tonight Show': President Obama sings to her all the timeAdd to Favorites | The Tonight Show With Jay Leno
First Lady Michelle Obama is the premiere guest on Tuesday night's (Jan. 31) "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." And of course the hot topic was President Obama's impromptu vocal performance at The Apollo.
"That was completely spontaneous. I didn't even hear about it until it got on YouTube," says Mrs. Obama. "But he does have a beautiful voice. He sings to me all the time. He sings that song! That's why when people said he sang, I said, 'I bet he sang Al Green.'"
"He sings a lot of Al Green, Marvin Gaye, little Stevie. He likes the classics," she continues. But the first daughters are not so excited about dad's singing.
"Oh, no. Anything we do is highly embarrassing," says Mrs. Obama.
And what about Mitt Romney's try at singing?
"... Beautiful!" Mrs. Obama laughs. "And it is America's song and it's a song that is meant to be sung by every American."
The conversation turns to the upcoming general election and Leno points out that if the Republican primary is this ugly, the general should be pretty brutal.
"There's really no way to prepare for it. You just take each day as it comes," says Mrs. Obama. "I think Barack and I, our motto is we try to do the best job that we can do every single day and the hope is that that will speak for itself."

Believe it or not, drought persists in western Minn.Believe it or not, a third of Minnesota is still rated as abnormally dry or even still in drought.
MINNEAPOLIS — Believe it or not, a third of Minnesota is still rated as abnormally dry or even still in drought.
While the drought is over in the eastern half of Minnesota thanks to all the rain, Thursday's update from the U.S. Drought Monitor shows much of western Minnesota has not caught up.
A pocket of moderate-to-severe drought persists centered on parts of Renville and Redwood counties in southwestern Minnesota, while a moderate drought area is centered on Beltrami County in northwestern Minnesota.
Besides rainfall, the Drought Monitor also looks at soil moisture and stream and lake levels.
Overall, 34 percent of Minnesota is abnormally dry or worse, about a five-point improvement. That includes the nearly 13 percent of the state that's still officially in a moderate or severe drought.

Rady Children's Hospital makes final fundraising push
Hospital in need of $12 million to cap 5-year campaign
Fundraising Campaign
Overall goal: $220 million for construction, patient-care programs, research, technology Raised so far: $208.4 million
CONSTRUCTION GOAL: $80 million. Raised so far: $58.9 million
PATIENT-CARE GOAL: $85 million. Raised so far: $136 million
TECHNOLOGY GOAL: $40 million. Raised so far: $7.6 million
RESEARCH GOAL: $15 million. Raised so far: $5.9 million
Major donors
Ernest and Evelyn Rady and Family: $60 million
The Warren Family: $10 million
The Peckham Family: $10 million
The Viterbi Family: $10 million
Rady Children's Hospital is asking the public to dig deep to complete a $220 million, five-year-old fundraising campaign that has played a key role in helping it become the largest pediatric hospital in California.
The campaign has focused on four areas: construction, patient-care programs, technology and research. Donors have ranged from businessman Ernest Rady providing a $60 million kickoff gift, to Costco members buying paper "Miracle Balloons" to support various hospital services.
Still, the hospital is about $12 million shy of its overall goal, and officials have announced a final public fundraising phase due to end in December 2012.
And while donors have been generous, much of the money was given specifically for programs that provide comfort to young patients and their families or to build the 280,000-square-foot Acute Care Pavilion that opened a year ago. Funds for research and technology are still wanting.
"Medical technology is changing rapidly, and parents in San Diego also need to know they have access to the very best technology to save children's lives," said David Gillig, executive director of the Rady Children's Hospital Foundation.
Hospital officials said research, which they call "discovery," also is critical.
"Discovery is all about the next generation of treatment and therapies that need to be found," said William Hamlin, past chairman of the foundation.
The hospital in Serra Mesa was established in 1954. Over the decades, it has become the regional pediatric trauma center, and it handles more than 80 percent of pediatric surgeries and all pediatric bone-marrow transplants in the county. The hospital has agreements with most medical centers in the county to provide at least some pediatric services.
Rady weathered a financial crisis that began in the late 1990s when health care costs rose at a faster pace than private and public reimbursements, causing it to lose more than $50 million from 1997 to 2003.
"We've had a positive operating income since 2004 following eight years of negative results," said Chief Financial Officer Roger Roux, mostly from improving efficiencies in personnel, billing and inventory.
Today, Rady officials believe their fundraising appeal will resonate even during tough economic times.
"Some people can give a little, and some can give a lot," said Cathy Polk, the foundation's chairwoman. "We're grateful for all of that."
Here are the four fundraising areas and some plans for each:
The 280,000-square-foot Acute Care Pavilion opened on Oct. 10, 2010, expanding the hospital from 288 licensed beds to 442. The $260 million facility was paid for through bonds, cash reserves, funds from state Proposition 61 in 2004 and Proposition 3 in 2008, and $80 million in philanthropy.

A study which led to warnings that the most popular asthma drugs increase the risk of a fatal attack was strongly criticised by leading researchers this week after the full details of the study were published.
The study by Canadian researchers identified a link between asthma deaths and the beta-2 agonist drugs in common inhalers used to relieve attacks of asthma. But researchers in New Zealand, who first raised the questions about safety of the drugs, say the Canadians have drawn the wrong conclusions and that 'questionable findings on beta-2 agonists in general are being overemphasised'.
The study carried out in Saskatchewan between 1978 and 1987 concluded that an asthmatic's risk of dying more than doubled with each extra can of beta-2 agonist used per month in the previous year. Its results seemed so strong that the drugs company Boehringer Ingelheim sent a warning letter to regulatory authorities around the ...

Tyler Bryant
Caleb Crosby – Drums / Percussion
A drummer since age 11, Caleb moved to Nashville in 2007 to study music at Belmont University. By 2008, he was performing with several artists and becoming versatile in the studio. While at Belmont, Caleb studied percussion under Todd London, Chester Thompson, and Zoro. In 2009, Caleb met Tyler and has played and toured with the band ever since. Caleb has earned endorsements from Gretsch drums, Paiste cymbals, and Vic Firth drumsticks. After graduating from Belmont in 2011 with a BA in music, Caleb chose to stay in Nashville where he continues to write, play and tour, primarily with Tyler Bryant.
Graham Whitford – Guitar
Graham Whitford is a 19-year-old self-taught guitarist whose entire life has always been about music. At an early age, Graham began playing the drums, but at age 11, he fell in love with the guitar. As Graham became preoccupied with everything guitar, he found that his heart was in the Blues and Classic Rock.
Graham has always wanted to follow in the footsteps of his father, Brad Whitford from Aerosmith. At age 15, Graham got a chance to perform onstage with Aerosmith in front 20,000 fans. This small taste of the 'big time' lit a fire in Graham and increased his determination to make it in the music industry. Graham has also shared the stage with the likes of Jonny Lang, Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, Robert Randolph, Living Colour, Billy Cox (The Band of Gypsies), Hubert Sumlin (Howlin' Wolf), Chris Layton (Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble) and more.
At age 17, Graham entered in Guitar Center's King Of The Blues competition, and placed as one of the top 5 finalists out of 4000.
In 2009, Graham met Tyler Bryant through legendary Rock Photographer Robert Knight. After attending Berklee College of Music for a semester during the Fall of 2010, Graham decided to leave school and join the band. Graham currently resides in Nashville, where he is pursuing his career as a guitarist playing with Tyler.
Noah Denney - Bass Guitar
Noah Denney moved to Nashville in 2005 to study percussion at Belmont University and has been living in Nashville since then. He began playing professionally in 2006 and in 2009, he graduated with a Bachelor of Music degree.
Noah has toured and recorded with various bands and artists, playing both drums and the bass. Noah's studies in percussion and love of rock and roll have given him a unique approach to playing the bass guitar.
He first met Tyler through the Shakedown-drummer Caleb Crosby, whom he met during his final year at Belmont University. Noah continues to play and write in and around Nashville, and is very much looking forward to growing musically with Tyler Bryant & the rest of the Shakedown.

Midwest Living Recommends
Known as the home of the University of Notre Dame, South Bend offers a great mix of shopping, dining and sports.
As Indiana's fourth-largest city, South Bend is best known as home of the University of Notre Dame, which is actually located just outside South Bend in the unincorporated community of Notre Dame. Ranking second to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Notre Dame University attracts the most visitors in Indiana -- nearly 700,000 annually -- with visitors spending nearly $40 million during Fighting Irish football season alone. Yet it's not all pennants and backpacks in South Bend. We found many places to shop, including the Eddy Street Commons area near the Notre Dame campus and an emerging arts and boutique neighborhood across the river from downtown. We also found a variety of dining options, from burger joints where you might rub elbows with students to upscale, white-tablecloth spots any foodie would enjoy. Our trip to South Bend was easy to enjoy because the city is a breeze to drive and park in, plus it's friendly and affordable. Part of the draw is the city's location along the St. Joseph River (at its south bend, naturally), which provides a sparkling backdrop as well as a great place for water sports, including white water rafting along the river's east race. Hiking or biking the nearly 13 miles of paved river walk is also a great way to pass the afternoon. More traditional than trendy, South Bend is a great place to explore and connect in friendly Midwestern surroundings.

Yesterday we learned that once again Japan's whaling fleet has left port and is heading to the International Whale Sanctuary in the Southern Ocean to continue its annual whale slaughter. With Japan still reeling from their recent earthquake, tsunami, and Fukushima nuclear disasters — to spend more taxpayer money to support their whaling program is nothing short of shameful. My Japanese colleague, Junichi Sato (Executive Director of Greenpeace Japan) had this to say as the fleet departed –
"Not only is the whaling industry unable to survive without large increases in government handouts, now it's siphoning money away from the victims of the March 11 triple disaster, at a time when they need it most. This is a new low for the shameful whaling industry and the callous politicians that support it. Japan's whaling program is already a black mark on the country's international reputation; the government should focus on recovery at home rather than continuing this shameful Antarctic whale hunt. It is time for the Japanese government to do the right thing by its people, the international community and the environment by committing to drop its financial support for the whaling industry for once and for all."
I fail to see how wasting taxpayer money on hunting whales in an International Whale Sanctuary can be seen as anything other than an international embarrassment.
Japan's politicians that again supported increased subsidies to fund yet another year of needless whale slaughter have turned their backs on their own citizens and their ability to recovery from multiple disasters – their behavior is nothing short of shameful.

Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
excellent value. Had 1hr 45 min in Sienna, just long enough to see the Duomo and have a coffee in fhe square. The wine tour was fun anx informative. The dinner was excellwnt as was the wine. A fun afternoon/evening. Excellent value.
This was a wonderful experience, Antonio our guide, was very helpful and knowledgeable. The wine tasting and food was very good, I was able to buy and ship back some wine very simply.
We had a really great time on our tour. Our guide was amazing. She spoke several languages which was very impressive, but you could tell that she was clearly passionate about the area. The dinner was beautiful and so was the scenery. We'd definitely recommend this tour - you won't regret it!
An excellent guide and tour.Because our group was fifty people it was too large to move swiftly and it meant along time serving dinner. There was no dessert, only biscotti which was a disappointment considering the cost.We arrived back in Florence after eleven PM.The driver of the bus was excellent in tight roads on the way to Chianti Country and exiting the vineyard.A very pleasant evening but the size of the group was too many.
AMAZING!!! The trip to the farm was the highlight of our trip to Florence--Carlo's passion was palatable and shined through in his food and wine. This trip is well worth the cost and I highly, highly recommend it!
We would definitely recommend this tour. It was fantastic and organised very well. Big thanks for our tour guides they were fantastic, driver was lovely too.
We loved the wine and Sienna. The only thing that was missing is they said desert would be tiramisu, but we only got a shot of really strong clear grape drink and some plain biscuits. Other than that A+++
Jasmine and Ross
Awesome tour! Really nice guide and the dinner at the vineyard was just soooo delicious!
Lovely tour! Ample time in Siena to see the sights and wine and dinner was delicious. Our guide Julio was fabulous and made sure we were all looked after. We enjoyed this tour!
I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our tour guide Ivan was great. Ida from the winery was superb. I learned so much. I did not give the tour the highest rating as I felt 2.5 hours at Piazza del Campo was too long and we were disappointed there was no wine cellar tour as indicated.
Our group was small (8) and we had an excellent guide named Aldo. Overall it was a very enjoyable experience. Siena is lovely, with so many shops to visit and its beautiful cathedral. Our guide Aldo was extremely knowledgeable about the area and accommodating by giving us time to stop for pictures. The drive up through the Tuscan hills held one beautiful view after another and we actually had a beautiful sunset. Our private dinner at the winery was delicious, as were each of the wines. Well worth the expense!
Luckily we had spent time in Siena a few days previously as the stop in Siena was only 1 1/2 hours not the stated 2 1/2 hours. Love the town areas and 4 blocks off main piazza we had a terrific lunch at good price. Tour guide very prompt and no waiting around so recommend anyone taking this tour to be early at the train station site. Italian/Spanish tour guide very knowledgable and driver great. The vineyards, host, and food were terrific along with international visitors at dinner. Vineyard owner very fluent in English and had terrific sense of humor! He showed us process areas that we have never seen before - unique. Kudos for great tour! Nancy and Curtis, Albuquerque, NM, USA
It was great to see Siena and the Chianti wine region. We really did get to see sunset from the hills and it was very beautiful although the bus ride was very bumpy and made some of our party carsick. Our guide was nice and knowledgable, but I do think she could've given us a few more fun facts about the region. The dinner was fantastic foodwise, however, the pours for tasting were very meager and we didn't get to do the tour of the cellar and they did not explain why.
Comfortable coach and informative commentary, however, it was all too rushed. We didn't actually see sunset as we were on the coach between Siena and the winery. When we got to the winery and could get off the coach people wanted to take photos of the Tuscan scenery before it was too dark, but we were rushed inside. Finally, when the dinner was over, we were given twenty minutes free time, but I'm sure this was just so we could buy the wines - too dark now to take pictures. I don't see why we couldn't have been given ten minutes when we arrived (as it was getting dark) to wander around.
This tour was a joke and a blatant tourist scam. First, the tour guide giving commentary could not speak comprehensible English. I learned nothing of value because most of what she said I could not understand. Everyone else said the same thing. Although there were 3 other tour guides on the trip (all of whom could speak much better English), none attempted to assist her or clarify any of her commentary. They seemed to think they were there to observe and (probably the main reason) to get free dinner and wine. Second, after we arrived in Sienna, we were hustled to the main piazza and given only 80 minutes of "free time" without any map or clear directions on how to get to any of the historical attractions. After purchasing my own map, I managed to find the cathedral (which requires paid admission), but was "mistakenly" sold a more expensive ticket for the hospital museum across the way by the ticket booth attendant that handled the entrance tickets to both. After I was denied entrance to the cathedral because I had the wrong ticket, I returned to the ticket booth but was refused an exchange for reasons I could not understand. Some rudimentary instructions from one of the 4 guides on the tour would have prevented this. Third, the wine-tasting and "dinner" in Chianti turned out to be a hard-sell marketing pitch to get the tour participants to purchase the private winery's products. Although the wine admittedly was very good, the accompanying food was in very small portions that were insufficient for the average male (and also some of the females). The tour guides took pains to excuse the unprofessional nature of their tour by stating the tour was in the experimental stage. If so, we should all have received at least partial refunds for having to act as their test guinea pigs.

Hydrodynamic and Ecosystem Response to Weather-related
Episodic Events or Changing Climate
Inland Lakes
Blooms of blue-green algae (i.e. cyanobacteria) are temporally and spatially variable in eutrophic lakes. Algal species that constitute the blooms are also highly variable and sub-species characteristics of algae differ widely (e.g., clumping vs. non-clumping or toxin-producing vs. non-toxin producing genotypes). Because blue-green algae are often buoyant, hydrodynamic processes result in large intra-lake spatial variability in algal abundance with the potential for high inter-lake spatial correlation in bloom patterns including noxious bloom pile-ups on downwind shorelines. As a result all these factors, the ecological and public health consequences of blue-green algal blooms can be major.
Circulation pattern in Lake Mendota Transport of effluent under a storm event
An interdisciplinary approach will be used to characterize spatial/temporal dynamics of bloom development. For remote sensing technologies, we are currently developing a remote controlled model aircraft (DigiDot2) with a high precision CCD camera to sample across the lake. In addition, we are developing a real-time water imaging system (RTWIS) with aerial photogrammetry technique for monitoring water quality in eutrophic lakes under various biophysical environment. At the lake district scale, IKONOS, QuickBird, SPOT, and Landsat will be used to study blooms on lakes. To acquire in-situ and real-time data, a state-of-the-art wireless buoy, vertical profiling buoy, and the BEDS are used to measure nutrients, phytoplankton and zooplankton species densities, velocity and temperature profiles. Molecular characterization of cyanobacterial taxa are used to detect community change in response to in-situ and remote chemical and physical measurements. Some on-going research progress can be found at the Lake Mendota Environmental Observatory website. Our interdisciplinary approach allows us to assess algal bloom as the synchronicity of bloom development among lakes and the spatial variability of such external drivers as weather or climate change.
Ongoing research themes address multiple aspects of water quantity and quality that are of great concerns and interests of the local authorities and Wisconsin citizens. For example one potential strategy for managing the Yahara River watershed is to maintain the hydrological budget by discharging treated effluent released from a water treatment plant. The goal is to evaluate the water levels and examine the fate of hypolimnetic effluent discharges. Specific tasks include: (i) hydrology and hydrodynamics of the lake; (ii) fate and transport of phosphorus in the lake; and (iii) the composition and phosphorus-liberating activity of the lake bacterial communities. We are developing a three-dimensional non-hydrostatic and stratified flow model (3DNHYS) to examine general circulation pattern, surface and internal waves and their breaking over shoaling bathymetry. The model would take into account of the effects of of temperature stratification, steep bathymetry, and wave-current interactions. In addition, the 3DNYHS model is coupled with a water quality model to examine the environmental impacts of LTER Lakes. The integrated model shows that discharge effluents would be trapped within the hyperlimnion during the summer season but could escape through the thermocline under a storm event.
Another on-going research is the development of the Integrated Nowcast and Forecast Operation System (INFOS) that provides real-time measured and modeling water information for the Yahara Lakes. The effects of hydrologic, hydrodynamic and wind wave characteristics on environmental impacts of Madison Lakes such as flooding, sediment deposition, and shoreline erosion have been concerns and interests of the local authorities and Wisconsin citizens. INFOS is a community online web platform that shows real-time data including water level, discharge, temperature, and other meteorological measurements. INFOS integrates observations into models to provide spatial variation of water parameters and transport of sediments and nutrients. The present stage and future stage of lake information will be posted through the web using nowcasting and forecasting models. Our overall goal is to provide managers and researchers to assess the water levels and nutrient management strategies for the Yahara Lakes system.
Great Lakes
The Apostle
Islands lakeshore in Lake Superior is a world-class
destination for sea kayaking, luring paddlers with scenic
wilderness, ancient geology and a rich cultural history.
Some of the most popular attractions are the sea caves
located at several spots around the archipelago. The water
environment in the Apostle Islands is undoubtedly quite
complex and dynamic due to the interactions of winds,
currents, and the surrounding 22 islands at the site. Waves generated in
Lake Superior can diffract and reflect when they encounter
the islands and may combine to form extreme waves in a
process known as geometric focusing. This process is
applied to determine local regions of energetic wave
fields for use in wave power generation around the world. In addition,
significant energy and momentum transfers can occur during
the wave and current interaction, yielding extreme waves
that can affect the navigation and kayakers' safety. To
date information of wave climate in Lake Superior is very
little. Currently we are developing an in-situ Real-Time Wave
Observation System (RTWOS)
that can be accessed through any portable
wireless device. Furthermore a real-time INFOS-Apostle
is currently developed to provide real-time wave climate
in the Apostle Islands. Outreach efforts (see Wisconsin
State Journal Article has been continuously paid to
address the community and society needs. An energy efficient
push button Real-Time
Wave Kiosk System (RTWKS)
is also designed, built, and installed at the Meyers Beach,
WI, where most kayakers/boaters enter water in Lake
Superior. The benefit of providing certain conditions
in favor of the occurrence of dangerous extreme waves/freak
waves is critical for the warning kayakers and boaters in
Great Lakes.
Meteotsunamis can pose a serious threat to the Lake Michigan coast, owing to the lake's characteristics that facilitate the formation of destructive meteotsunamis including frequent fast-moving storm fronts, resonance-promoting bathymetry, and harbors to finally amplify the wave. The most vivid historical meteotsunami on record in the Great Lakes occurred in 1954, when a squall line-induced longwave wave struck Chicago in Lake Michigan. The coast was inundated up to 50 meters inland and unexpectedly swept many fishermen off of the Montrose Harbor piers, killing seven. While the threat of meteotsunamis in Lake Michigan has been recognized, to date no infrastructure for detecting and warning of a pending meteotsunami disaster is available. Furthermore the potential hot spots in Lake Michigan that can be threatened by meteotsunamis has yet been identified and characterized. In collaboration researchers in Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, we are currently implementing an observation network system to better understand the occurrence of meterotsunamis. An operational meteotsunami forecasting and warning system is also being developed to keep residents safe and avoid dangerous events.

Congratulations to Humphrey Maris in his quest to split the electron (14 October, p 25). Ever since Sheldon Glashow and Murray Gell-Mann invented the picture of baryons and mesons consisting of quarks with fractional electric charges, it has been difficult to accept that the electron is indivisible.
Composite particles like nucleons and mesons exhibit only integer charges in "normal" situations. Could there be a similar principle at work in the case of the electron? And can a soft approach ease apart constituents which will not yield to brutal smashing, as Maris is trying to demonstrate?

Clady, a SI.com second-team All-American and first-team All-WAC selection last season, was instrumental in the Broncos finishing the 2006 season second in the country in scoring, sixth in rushing and 10th in total offense.
The 43 preliminary candidates earned a place on the initial watch list by earning All-America honors or being named to their respective all-conference team as selected by the conference's head coaches. The Rotary Lombardi Award Watch List will be updated prior to the start of the 2007 season in order to identify those players who have been selected as pre-season honors candidates.
Eligibility for the Rotary Lombardi Award is limited to down linemen and those defensive players who line up within five yards of the football.
