Glossary Pages
wake - waves generated in the water by a moving vessel
wall - the reef slope, which may suddenly drop off into deeper water, forming a nearly vertical wall
wash zone - the depth zone in which sediments are disturbed by wave action near the shoreline
waste water - water that is a mixture of water and dissolved or suspended solids carrying wastes from homes, businesses and industries
wastewater treatment plant - a facility containing a series of tanks, screens, filters and other processes by which pollutants are removed from water
Wave sweeps toward a coastline. (Photo: Copyright Digital Vision Ltd.)
water - pure water consists of hydrogen and oxygen, H2O. It is a binary compound that occurs at room temperature as a colorless, odorless, tasteless, transparent liquid which is very slightly compressible. It freezes at 0 degrees C and boils at 100 degrees C. It is the most important natural solvent, and frequently contains impurities, which are mostly removed by distillation
water column - the water mass between the surface and the bottom
water mass - a large body of water whose density characteristics are distinct from the surrounding aquatic environment because of inherent temperature or salinity differences
water pressure - the force per unit area exerted by the weight of water. Each 33 feet of sea water exerts a pressure equivalent to one atmosphere, or 14.7 psi
water table - the level or depth below the ground that is saturated with water
water table - the level below the earth's surface at which the ground becomes saturated with water. The water table is set where hydrostatic pressure equals atmospheric pressure; the surface between phreatic water which completely fills voids in the rock and ground air which partially fills higher voids
water vascular system - in echinoderms, a system of internal canals and appendages that are water-filled and functions as a means of locomotion
Angel Falls, Venezuela. This great waterfall contributes to the Oronoco River watershed. Nutrients and minerals from the rainforests and savannas of the Oronoco River basin are transported with the Oronoco current and may effect coral reefs in the southeastern Caribbean.

watershed - an area of land that drains downslope to the lowest point. The water moves through a network of subterranean and surface drainage pathways which converge into streams and rivers, eventually reaching an estuary and finally the ocean. Because water moves downstream, any activity that affects the water quality, quanity, or rate of movement at one location can affect locations downstream to the ocean and out to coral reefs
wave crest - the top of a wave
wave height - the vertical distance between the crest and adjacent trough of a wave
wave length - the distance between two successive wave crests or troughs
wave trough - the low spot between two successive waves
WCMC Global Coral Disease Database - the World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC) and NOAA maintain the Global Coral Disease Database which is populated with over 2000 records of coral diseases from approximately 155 sources. The occurrence of a disease on a coral species (or genus) was recorded for each location and date on which it was observed. A unique combination of coral species, disease, date, and location therefore constitutes a single record
weather - temperature, precipitation, and wind speed and direction that occur on a daily basis
weathering - the mechanical or chemical decomposition of rocks due to weather
weathering of oil - changes in the physical and chemical properties of oil due to natural processes, including evaporation, emulsification, dissolution, photo-oxidation, and biodegradation
Web Reef Advisory System (WRAS) - the Web Reef Advisory System (WRAS) was developed by ReefBase and Reef Check, in collaboration with the Coastal Resources Center at the University of Rhode Island and the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Southern California, as "an online application to input, view, and analyze Reef Check survey data. It calculates indicators of how good or bad a shape a particular reef is in, and what the underlying causes may be, based on Reef Check surveys." WRAS allows users to view, analyze, and add data. The file location is: www.reefcheck.org/datamanagement/
Weberian apparatus - the four anterior vertebrae and associated tissues in some fishes (catfishes, loaches, minnows, suckers) that connect the gas bladder to the inner ear, conveying pressure changes and sound
wedge shaped - a form that is thick at one edge and tapered to a thin edge at the other
weight belt - a belt worn during scuba diving that contains lead weights, either solid masses or as shot in pouches. The weight belt allows a diver to descend in the water column against the forces buoying the diver upwards
wellbore - a hole drilled into the earth for the purpose of exploration or extraction of natural resources such as oil, gas or water. It may have casing in it, usually a metal pipe, or it may be open, or some combination of casing and no casing
wet collection - a museum collection of specimens that are stored in ethanol, isopropanol, formalin or other liquid preservatives
Wetlands provide for valuable nursery areas for many organisms.
wetland - an area that, at least periodically, has waterlogged soils or is covered with a relatively shallow layer of water. Bogs, freshwater and saltwater marshes, and freshwater and saltwater swamps are examples of wetlands
A scientist stands in a sand channel within a reef spur-and-groove zone.
white hole - an area along the spur and groove system (zone) where the sand channel widens considerably
White pox disease is characterized by white circular lesions on the surface of infected colonies (Photo: Dr. A. Bruckner, NOAA)
white pox disease - a coral disease characterized by circular lesions with coral tisue degradation on the Caribbean elkhorn coral, Acropora palmata. The pathogen is a bacterium, Serratia marcescen.
white skeleton - the exposed white calcium carbonate skeleton of a coral colony
Elkhorn coral populations have suffered widespread declines from white-band disease (Photo: Dr. A. Bruckner, NOAA)
white-band disease - a coral disease characterized by complete coral tissue degradation of Caribbean acroporid corals.-Two species of Acroporidae are affected, the elkhorn coral, Acropora palmata, and the staghorn coral, A. cervicornis. The disease exhibits a sharp demarcation between apparently healthy coral tissue and exposed coral skeleton.- These signs are identical to plague, except that white band is acroporid specific (and plague has not been found on acroporids).- Tissue loss usually proceeds- from the base of the colony branch to the tip, although it can begin in the middle of a branch in A. cervicornis. White band disease affects acroporid corals throughout the Caribbean and has decimated populations at a regional scale.The infective agent has not yet been isolated. For more information and illustrations, see: http://www.coral.noaa.gov/coral_disease/white_band.shtml
wild - living in a natural state; living in nature
wild live rock - live rock other than aquacultured live rock
wild type - the form of an organism that occurs most frequently in nature
wind vane - an instrument used to determine wind direction
windlass - a winch used to raise a ship's anchor
windward - refers to the side of an island or reef that faces the prevailing wind
Withering Syndrome (WS) - a bacterial disease of abalone caused by a Rickettsia-like organism, WS-RLO, resulting in significant losses of black abalone in central and southern California, including San Nicolas Island
work (taxonomy) - in the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, any text whether published, unpublished, or carrying a disclaimer containing a name or other information bearing on nomenclature
work of an animal - results of the activity but not part of the animal itself, e.g., tracks, trails, worm-tubes, borings (but excludes some fossil evidence such as internal molds, external impressions and replacements)
worm reef - a massive structure composed of clusters of oval, table-like mounds constructed by marine polychaete worms in the family Sabellariide. They consist of all sorts of sediments consolidated by a mucoprotein cement produced by the worm. This reef may start in the intertidal zone and extend into the subtidal zone. Some are in deeper water. Unlike the colorful and ornate coral reefs, worm reefs are drab, monotonous and rounded clusters, mounds and platforms that grow upward and outward from the durable substrate from which their colonies develop. Worm reefs offer several ecological benefits. They provide feeding and browsing grounds for a diverse community of marine organisms and an ideal home for attaching plants, sponges and shelter-seeking animals. Also, unlike coral reefs, worm reefs are not restricted to the tropics
worm shell - a snail in the gastropod family Vermetidae. Worm shells are gregarious species forming an intertwining mass of long, white, worm-like tubes, often sunken into a reef substrate. They get their common name of "worm shell" because their shells superficially resemble the shells of some tube-building marine polychaete worms. After a short motile existance, they cement their shell to a hard substrate, and as they grow, the shells may coil or meander over the substrate producing a tube that looks quite like a tube worm. Worm shells are filter-feeders which spin a mucus net to trap floating food particles, such as plankton
wrasse - a large family (Labridae) of brightly-colored bony fishes which are common inhabitants of coral reefs. Many have spiny fins, thick lips, and strong teeth. They range in size from about three inches to three meters. Some species of small wrasses are "cleaners," which regulary remove ectoparasites from the skin and gills of larger fishes

WW2BW (White Water to Blue Water Initiative) - the White Water to Blue Water (WW2BW) Initiative was formulated in 2002 during the World Summit on Sustainable Development. WW2BW responds to the World Summit's "Oceans" agenda with an integrated approach to sustainable use of water resources. In an effort to address water pollution and scarcity, United States government agencies, including the State Department, NOAA, USAID, as well as the United Nations, governments of the Wider Caribbean Region, and a number of non-governmental organizations have come together to plan and implement programs which will lead to the conservation and sustainable management of both freshwater and coastal marine resources in the Caribbean. WW2BW stimulates partnerships to promote integrated watershed and marine-based ecosystems management in support of sustainable development. Four thematic areas are supported: integrated watershed management, marine ecosystem-based management, sustainable tourism, and environmentally sound marine transportation. The outcome of the WW2BW partnership in the Wider Caribbean may serve as the blueprint for future programs on watershed and marine ecosystem-based management in Africa and the South Pacific
Appearing as solitary forms in the fossil record more than 400 million years ago, corals are extremely ancient animals that evolved into modern reef-building forms over the last 25 million years.

Kelly debuts Bruins' team unity symbol
Posted by Matt Pepin, Boston.com Staff April 13, 2012 11:12 AM
If you caught any of Bruins wing Chris Kelly's postgame press conference, you might have noticed he was sporting some serious hardware.
The heavy chain with a big lock is the Bruins' new symbol of team unity, a locker-room reward for the player who was the Bruins star of the game. Kelly scored the game-winning goal in overtime of the Bruins' 1-0 victory over the Capitals in Game 1 of their playoff series.
Here's how reporter Julian Benbow described it in his story about Kelly today:
[ Kelly's ] reward came in the form of neckwear. After the game he wore a thick padlocked chain wrapped around his neck. He explained that, like the throwback jacket that Andrew Ference bought on eBay last season and became sort of an MVP trophy after each postseason win, the necklace was another one of Ference's ideas.
"Andrew made something that symbolizes the team, the chain, try not to be the weak link,'' Kelly said. "It's one of those things that you pass out after a good game. It's one of those things that's all in good fun.''
[Goalie Tim] Thomas said, "He wasn't the weak link tonight.''

ATLANTA -- The Atlanta City Council has voted to allow a 20-story Ferris wheel to be placed in downtown Atlanta near Centennial Olympic Park.
RELATED |20 story Ferris wheel could appear downtown this summer
The City Council voted unanimously Monday. The attraction, to be named Skyview Atlanta, has previously been housed in Paris and Pensacola. It will require no public funding.
"We benefit from a cost/revenue perspective, we get cash in this case and we don't have to make any investments or anything like that," said city council member Kwanza Hall.
Two St. Louis businessmen are behind the idea of bringing the Ferris wheel to Atlanta. Skyview Atlanta spokesman Jason Evans says the partners, Todd Schneider and Al Mers, plan to set it up next to The Tabernacle, a century-old former church building now used as a concert hall.
"I think it's something people are going to really enjoy," Evans said. "They're going to see the city from an angle they probably haven't seen before."
Officials say the attraction could be in place as early as June and rides are expected to cost between $12 and $13. They'll last for about 15 minutes.

MC Hammer: 'Not bitter' about arrest in Calif.
MC Hammer suggests he is victim of racial profiling after arrest in Northern California on Saturday
Published On: Feb 24 2013 11:47:11 AM EST Updated On: Jun 17 2013 12:08:24 PM EDT
MC Hammer suggests he was a victim of racial profiling when he was stopped and arrested by police in the Northern California city of Dublin.
The `90s rap star tweeted on Saturday that an officer approached him in his car and asked "Are you on parole or probation?"
He says that as he handed over his ID, the officer reached inside the car and tried to pull him out.
Dublin police Lt. Herb Walters told the Oakland Tribune that Hammer, who was born Stanley Burrell, was arrested Thursday for investigation of obstructing an officer in the performance of their duties and resisting an officer.
He declined to comment to KTVU about Hammer's version of the arrest.
Hammer tweeted that he wasn't bitter and considered what happened "a teachable moment."

1.5 Regulatory requirements
Countries in which clinical trials are performed should have regulations governing the way in which these studies can be conducted. The pre-trial agreement between the sponsor and investigator(s) should designate the parties responsible for meeting each applicable regulatory requirement (e.g. application to or notification of the trial to the relevant authority, amendments to the trial protocol, reporting of all adverse events, and notifications to ethics committee). All parties involved in a clinical trial should comply fully with the existing national regulations or requirements. In countries where regulations do not exist or require supplementation, relevant government officials may designate, in part or in whole, these Guidelines as the basis on which clinical trials will be conducted. The use of these Guidelines should not prevent their eventual adaptation into national regulations or laws. Neither should they be used to supersede an existing national requirement in countries where the national requirement is more rigorous.

This was the headline of the Boston Glob story:
Black commuters face longer trips to work
And this was the letter of outrage that story provoked:
THE FACT that "Black commuters face longer trips to work" (Page A1, Nov. 252) is not news. It is simply a fact of life, part of the daily drudgery in which the most pervasive racism and discrimination persists in our falsely characterized "postracial" America. I think that black people know that services will almost always be less for them than for white people, and I think that most whites simply ignore the quotidian reality. What would be front-page news is if something significant were done about this reality.
As soon as the rerouting of the Orange Line to the Southwest Corridor was announced decades ago, the black community that the line once served knew the promise of filling the void was a hollow one.
Scott Cooper
Newton Highlands
The author doesn't identify himself as black—in fact, he implies that he's not—yet he sounds intimately familiar with the "daily drudgery" of "pervasive racism and discrimination", even from his suburban remove of Newton Highlands. It reminds me of the great "All in the Family" episode, summed up thusly:
In the episode Edith Writes a Song, where the family is held by African-American burglars, Mike attempts to intervene on Archie's behalf, explaining to the burglars how Archie does not know about the pain of ghetto poverty. One of the burglars, played by Demond Wilson and Cleavon Little, responds: "And you do?"
Anyway, on to the racism!
At the end of a recent community meeting on the state transportation system, a grandmotherly woman with a lyrical Caribbean accent strode up to the top transportation official in Massachusetts, dispensing with pleasantries.
"Let me tell you something," she told Transportation Secretary Richard A. Davey. "I am so upset with Number 28."
She meant the bus route between Ruggles and Mattapan, which she boarded just after 5 p.m. at Roxbury Community College, to reach the meeting 4½ miles away at Mattapan's branch library. "It took an hour and 15 minutes to get here," she said, narrowing her eyes.
Davey apologized, promising to look into it. But even when the 28 runs on schedule, it covers that stretch in 40 minutes, averaging less than 7 miles an hour — a halting trip of red lights and one-by-one boardings.
That doesn't sound like racism; that sounds like Boston traffic! Any driver stuck behind a Boston bus is all too familiar with Purgatory, if not Hell.
When I lived in New York and occasionally took the buses, I was often frustrated, if not infuriated, by the frequency of the stops—every other block on the north-south routes. Why couldn't they stop every four blocks, and greatly speed up the trip? No one would have to walk more than two blocks to a bus stop.
But buses were the main form of transportation for the elderly or infirm, who couldn't handle the stairs, standing, and stress of the subways, and who couldn't walk more than a block anyway. They might take a bus to the local market and back only a few blocks away. Buses were for old people.
Note the woman quoted above was not only described as having a "Caribbean" accent, but as "grandmotherly". Buses are for old people. They need to make frequent stops because many old people can't walk very far.
Still, commuting racism persists:
Among Greater Boston workers, white commuters who drive have the shortest trips to work — averaging less than 27 minutes each way — and black bus riders the longest, exceeding 46 minutes each way. But a gap exists even among those who take the same mode, with shorter commutes for white workers whether they drive or ride mass transit.
The biggest gap is by bus. Black commuters spend an extra 66 hours a year waiting, riding, and transferring than white bus riders, according to a new analysis from Northeastern University's Dukakis Center for Urban and Regional Policy.
It's a little unclear to me if they mean the trip itself is longer, or if they are including the wait for the bus. But how could they include the wait? Buses run on schedules (or are supposed to), so the wait's on you (or them). Why would black people have racist bus lines?
They don't:
[A]ffordable housing is scarce and often far from desirable subway and rail stations. Those who can afford to drive largely do so, because it is faster. And a transit system built up over a century to funnel commuters toward downtown Boston does a poorer job connecting to the service and physical-labor jobs not concentrated downtown — meaning longer, slower bus rides, often with transfers.
"If we care about equity in our transportation system, we have to pay attention to the bus system, which serves so many low-income and people of color," Pollack said. "We have to do better."
"We want a system where nobody's commute is longer because of the color of their skin," she said. "What would it take to create that system?"
So, it's not the buses that are racist—it's the lack of affordable housing in the wealthier parts of town. Of course it takes longer to get from Brockton to Federal Street than from Beacon Hill to Federal Street. (And if you want to build a hi-rise housing project next to John Kerry's Louisberg Square townhouse, you go right ahead.)
Look, I'm not entirely unsympathetic. I live close to two bus lines: one serves the wealthier part of the neighborhood, one the working class part. Needless to say, I'm closer to the The People than I am to The Man. No racial disparity, just income. But on those rare occasions I take the bus, I have learned from bitter experience to walk the extra few blocks to the Champ Line than wait an eternity for the Chump Line (schedule my a**). Hey, maybe the MBTA knows something I don't. Maybe the ridership dictates the number of buses. But I doubt it. I just think those who pay the higher tax rates—heck, those who pay taxes, period—expect and receive better services.
I know, stop the presses, right?
How do you fix it? The answer's staring us in the face: drive.
You don't like our racist buses? Our roads are positively post-racial!
Okay, seriously, here's another try:
New York debuted its first "Select Bus Service" line in the Bronx in 2008, spurred by advocacy among local groups and coordination between the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which runs buses and trains, and the city Department of Transportation, which controls streets, curbs, and traffic lights.
"Select" routes now exist in four boroughs, with travel times cut by nearly 20 percent even as ridership has grown, according to the Pratt Center and the MTA.
"The big constraint here, the reason we have, like, four Select Bus Service routes instead of 15, is agency bandwidth, not money," Byron said, citing the political leadership and attention needed to win support for the streetscape changes that enable the buses.
That was evident in Boston with the state's aborted 2009 attempt to bring bus rapid transit to the 28 line, a project known as "28X." Under a rushed timetable intended to capture federal stimulus money, the state failed to win support from leaders, activists, and merchants in neighborhoods wary of past promises and still smarting over the Orange Line's 1980s rerouting.
So, it's not racism and not money, but "agency bandwidth" and suspicious "activists" (and old people, damn them!) that are ruining the lives of black bus riders. And all brought to you by the entrenched Democratic system in the city and environs.
Wake me when there's any actual news. And you can wake yourselves up now too.

Most families today feature either one parent or two parents that both have jobs. This means that it is likely that when your children reach school age, they will be coming home to an empty house and caring for themselves for at least a short period each day. While very young children should never be trusted to care for themselves or home on their own, older children are capable of staying home for short periods of time as long as they are well informed of home security and safety procedures.
To help you prepare your children for the responsibility of taking care of themselves, AJ's mobile 24hr locksmiths in Homebush offer these tips for having a discussion before the first day your child will come home alone:
Give Your Child a Home Security Checklist
Walk your child through the home security procedures you expect him to perform as soon as he gets home every day. Put these steps on an easy-to-understand list that you print and post in an easily visible spot so that he is reminded of it daily. This list should include:
• Remember to bring your key inside
• Lock the doors
• Call a parent or other adult to let them know you have gotten home
• Do not unlock or open any windows, or use windows stops properly
• Do not open the door for anyone.
After you have made the list, have your child do a run through of what he will do when he arrives home from school. If you are concerned that the safety measures of your home are not adequate to properly protect your child when he is home alone, contact an emergency locksmith who is local to Homebush, This professional can come to your home, evaluating safety, and help you choose new locks or other means of safety so that you can feel confident your child will be secure.
P.S we are regularly doing lockouts in the area because of the high number of home units and rekeys so please give us a call if you are in such a situation, it won't take us long to arrive with the help you need.

Materials & Technology
Canadian development to utilize green technology, radiant heating
A new environmentally sustainable development was recently opened in Shediac, New Brunswick, as the homes will all feature green technology like solar panels and in-floor radiant heating, according to the New Brunswick Business Journal.
The developer of the sustainable condo project noted that the houses would provide residents with a cheap alternative to the typical homes that are available, due to the lowered costs for electricity.
"Our whole emphasis is based on the fact that we believe oil and electrical prices are going to continue to increase," Brien Storey, a mechanical engineer and president of Saillofts and Development, told the Journal. "The world of cheap oil is going to disappear from North America."
Each of the homes will feature technology like radiant heating systems, solar panels and water runoff recycling, according to the news source.
A radiant heating system can be installed as part of the subfloor in a residence, something that limits the installation costs and helps to allow any type of flooring to be put over the technology in order to meet the aesthetic goal for a housekeeper.

This bibliography represents the current stage of an ongoing project whose ultimate aim is to create a comprehensive, indexed, and annotated bibliography of published materials and theses relating to the use of existing music in the tradition of Western music.
This is a wide field, embracing borrowing, transcription, variations, quotation, cantus firmus technique, paraphrase, imitation/parody, modeling, allusion, and other ways to rework existing music, from troping and organum to collage and electronic manipulation. The number of books, articles, and other published sources that treat these issues is staggering. We have chosen to include only items that consider the reworking of one or more particular musical works in new compositions (as opposed to general stylistic allusion or resemblance) and to exclude sources that do no more than mention in passing the relationship of a new work to an existing one. We also include items that consider some aspect of borrowing as a whole, that refute claims of borrowing, or that assemble lists of borrowings, whether or not they discuss individual works in detail. Despite these limitations, the scope of the project is still vast; in its current state, the bibliography has more than 1850 items, 1025 of them annotated. Indeed, part of our intent is to demonstrate how pervasive such borrowing and reworking have been throughout our musical tradition by bringing together all the instances and all the scholarship on the subject we can find.
Because this is such a wide field, such a bibliography must be a collaborative undertaking. The project began in the fall of 1987. The original basis was my own list of items on musical borrowing, supplemented by a preliminary bibliography on the same subject by David Pacun of the University of Chicago and by the card index of items on quotation and borrowing in the library of the Musikwissenschaftliches Institut at the Universität Köln, generously provided to me by the Institute librarians and faculty. David C. Birchler worked as my assistant at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1987-88, preparing annotations and gathering further items. Members of graduate seminars on musical borrowing held at Indiana University in 1988, 1994, 2002, and 2010 and at Yale in 1995 contributed annotations and new items, as did members of a seminar conducted by Harry Elzinga at Baylor University in 1994. Thanks to all of them for their careful and diligent work. Andreas Giger, my research assistant for 1990-91, wrote many new annotations and revised the entire bibliography. Felix O. Cox, my assistant in 2001-2003, further revised the bibliography and added numerous annotations. Will Sadler, John A. Johnson, Carol Crowley, David Montgomery, Mirna Polzovic, Luiz Fernando Lopes, Dana Gorzelany, Rika Asai, James Rodgers, Tong Cheng, Bethany Goldberg, Mary Ellen Ryan, and several other assistants provided additional editorial help. Thanks also to Honey Meconi, Brian Phillips, Murray Steib, James L. Zychowicz, and others too numerous to mention for providing citations.
The best way to make such a bibliography available in a preliminary, constantly-changing form is on the World Wide Web. Thanks to Rob Carter for technical assistance and to Thomas J. Mathiesen for programming, design, support, and advice.
We offer this preliminary product with the hope that it may be useful to others working in this field and that some may wish to join us in this endeavor. Please direct any comments, suggestions, and additions to me at firstname.lastname@example.com or at the Jacobs School of Music, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana 47405.

Wisconsin Lutheran College relies on the generosity of alumni, parents, friends, corporations and foundations that believe in the college's mission of preparing Christian leaders.
The costs of attending college certainly do add up quickly. However, many assume that the money WLC collects in tuition equals what it costs to operate the college. While that's a natural assumption, you may be surprised to learn that tuition only covers 47 percent of the cost of a WLC education.
WLC awards more than $11 million in scholarships annually through gifts to the college. Those gifts come in many forms, but by far and away, most of the money raised comes from individual donors like you − people who believe in Wisconsin Lutheran College and want to see it flourish and grow.
We rely on the generous spirit of those who value this institution. We hope you are included in that group. If so, thank you for your support. If not, please consider a gift. As you can see, your donation will make a difference in the life of a student, each and every day.

CLEVELAND - Temperatures soared into the 70s on Sunday afternoon for the first time since September 25th across northeast Ohio.
Strong southwest winds helped usher in warmer temperatures that climbed through early afternoon before a cold front moved just south of the area by late day and dropped temperatures back into the 60s along the lakeshore counties.
A few showers developed far east of Cleveland, but were spotty and quickly faded.
The National Weather Service says this front will move back north as a warm front on Monday as low pressure passes to the north of Lake Erie and brings a chance of showers and possible thunderstorms for Opening Day at Progressive Field.
The front will then waver back north and south across the area through Thursday as waves of low pressure move along the front. A final low should move through the region by Friday and pull the front well southeast of the area.
High pressure is expected to move in from the west on Saturday.
Here are look at Sunday's high temperatures through 8 p.m...
Cleveland Hopkins: 72 degrees
Lorain/Elyria: 71 degrees
Ashtabula: 71 degrees
Wooster: 72 degrees
AKron/Canton: 73 degrees
Mansfield: 73 degrees
Youngstown: 73 degrees
Toledo: 62 degrees

Well the early games haven't quite thrilled like those on Thursday, and have left us all a bit disappointed. The first three games of the day were decided by a combined 245 points and none of them classified as anything except "turn the channel and look for a rerun of Law and Order " television. But that doesnt mean that we here at One Blogging Moment didnt watch it to try and keep you folks informed.
I am covering the Milwaukee regions, which meant watching the battle between Auburn Coach Tubby Smith and "we know they are good, but we don't watch them play," Xavier. The game quickly turned into the Jordan Crawford Show , as the brother of former Tubby Smith player, Joe Crawford, torched the Gophers for 28 points. Crawford made five three-pointers and dominated on the offensive end of the floor. Smith had no answer for Crawford and Xavier cruised in the second half, maintaining a 6-10 point lead throughout.
Now comes the fun stuff. This morning, Dennis Dodd reported on this very site that Tubby Smith was close to becoming the Auburn head basketball coach , a move that would immediately shake the balance of power in the SEC West. Smith has made no secret to those around him that he has been disappointed about the state of the Minnesota program and he feels that promises that were made to him about facilities and the like have not been met. Auburn is opening a new arena next year and wants a big name to christen its arrival. Smith would be that big name and could give Auburn the bump it needs to become relevant again.
As for Xavier, it moves on and becomes quite the load for any team it may face, especially if Crawford is playing the way he did today. Joe Crawford had the hype during his time at Kentucky and besides one famous dunk over Lebron James, Joradan has often been overlooked. That may change today, as Crawford joins our man Jimmer from BYU as the early star of the NCAA Tournament.
Oh yeah, Saul Smith is losing his hair...badly. I feel that needs to be investigated.

The Board of Aldermen heard a variety of opinions during a recent public hearing on whether Leland should become the latest community to go smokefree. Proponents argued that it would improve health and make the city eligible for health grants, while opponents argued that it is an infringement on the legal right to smoke. The board tabled the issue last week but may take it up again today.

Creative Commons @ Open Source Pavilion @ Siggraph this week in Boston
Creative Commons is represented this
week as part of the first ever Open Source Pavilion, which features Open Source Applications, at the world's largest Graphic Conference, Siggraph. The booth this year is set-up by Ton Rosendaal,
the project lead of the CC-BY 2.5 licensed Elephant's Dream Open Source movie and Blender, a 3D application. There is participation around the projects Blender, GNOME, Gimp, Creative Commons, Jahshaka, Uni-verse, Inkscape, and several others.
Please stop by booth #1527 all week to discuss Creative Commons licensing, how
you can plug into development, and other information about the Commons. Here is a link for free tickets to the exhibition floor. Also, you can check the Blender website for a day-by-day overview of the conference with pictures, video, and other information.
This conference participation comes on the heals of the previous week's
Desktop Developer Conference in Ottawa, Canada, where Jon Phillips (myself)
presented "May I See Your License?" which looked at licensing creative works, how to participate in the Creative Commons Developer Community, and the various software CC develops to support licensing.
Also, please attend the upcoming Linux World Expo in San Francisco August 14-17 and don't forget that there is a CC Salon next wednesday from 6-9 PM.
UPDATE: Please track the next CC Salon on our post at upcoming.org. The event next week features Public Library of Science, Magnatune's John Buckman, and the popular social bookmarking site, Digg. Come on out for a fun evening of conversation, drinks and networking.Comments Off on Creative Commons @ Open Source Pavilion @ Siggraph this week in Boston
New CC search UI
Today we turned on a new search interface offering tabbed access to Yahoo! and Google CC-enabled web searches and Flickr CC image search.
We hope that this new search user interface highlights the ease of discovering licensed content (including options to filter for only content that allows commercial or derivative use) and opportunities to do more.
How to access the new CC search interface:
- Vist http://search.creativecommons.org.
- From the Creative Commons home page click on the "Find" image.
- Get Firefox and select CC from the Firefox search bar.
What's next?
Our first priority is to internationalize the search interface. Fortunately we have tools in place to tackle this.
We'll add more search tabs as quality CC-enabled search engines come online. We're especially eager to see audio- and video-specific search with the same features offered by Yahoo!, Google, and Flickr CC search.
Credit goes to our designer Alex Roberts for another marvelous design and implementation. The main creativecommons.org site is up next!Comments Off on New CC search UI

Best open source solution!?
ccHost, the Remix Management System (think CMS, heh) that powers ccMixter and that we've released under the GPL, has been nominated for the Linux Journal and IDG World Expo Product Excellence Awards and LinuxWorld San Francisco in the "best open source solution" category. We hardly expect to win, but thanks for the nomination!
If you're coming to LinuxWorld Expo (August 14-17) please visit the Creative Commons booth in the .org Pavilion and get inspired by Lawrence Lessig's keynote, Free Culture: What We Need From You.
Free exhibit hall passes include access to keynotes.Comments Off on Best open source solution!?

"Abracadabra!" – Free CC-licensed e-book about the Beatles' "Revolver"
Abracadabra! by Ray Newman is a new e-book that tells the story behind the making of the Beatles' masterpiece, the 1966 album Revolver. The book is available for free download and is being offered to the world under a Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivs license. Newman says that he plans to publish an expanded second edition of the book next year, and is inviting the public to help.
My aim is to produce a free, good quality history of the making of Revolver which doesn't (a) rely entirely on regurgitating chunks of other books or (b) unsubstaniated opinion. This has made the job harder than it might have been, but also a lot more fun.

Accelerated Nursing Programs
The accelerated nursing degree program is another innovative idea to deal with the ongoing nursing shortage. The idea is to send a nurse through nursing school at a faster rate than traditional schooling to increase the number of nurses in the healthcare industry. This has been going on for a number of years and the number of schools that have been offering this program has been growing exponentially.
In order to qualify for the accelerated program, an individual must complete a bachelor's degree in any subject with or without having acquired an RN prior to entering the accelerated program. Many registered nurses looking to advance their career without having to return to school fulltime have turned to the accelerated BSN degree program.
Course Requirements:
What is an Accelerated Nursing Program?
Accelerated Nursing Program Overview:
While the accelerated BSN degree program does not require the individual to retake many of the liberal arts requirements that were completed for their prior bachelor's degrees, occasionally they must complete some science requirements before matriculating such as anatomy, physiology, chemistry, and microbiology.
The accelerated BSN program is intense and demands a certain type of individual. The accelerated student is extremely hard working, self-motivated, and focused on goals as they are now entering a program that will demand a tremendous amount of time and effort from them.
Many new accelerated nursing students have limited clinical experience before entering the BSN program. When in the program, the student must complete a large amount of credits and be exposed to many hours of clinical experience. In order to be accepted into the program, most schools require a minimum 3.0 GPA from their previous bachelor's degree.
If someone chooses to continue further towards an accelerated MSN, this coursework generally takes three years to complete which is included with the BSN (AACN). From there they can become a nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialists, nurse anesthetists, or a nurse midwife.

BOSTON -- Philadelphia Flyers center Jeff Carter will make his second straight playoff start on Friday against the Boston Bruins in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinal at TD Garden.
Carter was re-inserted into the lineup for the first time in 14 days in Game 3 after missing five games with a lower-body injury -- reportedly a sprained right knee ligament. He took five shots in 16:41 of ice time and won 2 of 6 faceoffs, but sat out practice on Thursday at TD Garden. Following Game 3, Carter admitted feeling "all right."
Coach Peter Laviolette thought Carter was one of his most effective forwards in a 5-1 loss.
"I actually thought Jeff was probably one of our stronger forwards," Laviolette said. "You know, for not coming back for five games, he had his legs. He's a big person in there and a big body, and he can skate well. As the game wore on, it seemed like we were lacking speed as a group out there, but where it's more natural for him, it's easier for him to stand out at that and he had a couple scoring chances."
Carter was obviously upset with the result in his first game back in almost two weeks.
"I don't think we were smart with the puck (on Wednesday) and I don't think we got a lot of traffic on (Tim) Thomas … there were not enough quality shots," Carter said following Wednesday's 5-1 loss.
Meanwhile, defenseman Chris Pronger, who has been off the ice since the final five minutes of Game 1, is out for Game 4. The Flyers list him as having a lower-body injury, but CSNPhilly.com reported that the 36-year-old veteran is suffering from back and hamstring issues. Pronger is with the team and has been at the arena during team skates.

Good for h&m! I am the same size as her and HATE that people have considered that plus size when that is really normal. I'm 6 foot, size 12 is a little above average for my height. Seeing that h&m is going against what every other clothing supplier does using size 00 models makes me happy!

What to do in Antwerp
There's something surprising about finding avant-garde design shops and vintage clothing boutiques along Antwerp's tree-shaded, cobblestone lanes. On the outside, the city looks straight out of a fairy tale—all 16th-century guild houses, Gothic cathedrals, and Flemish mansions. It even has a castle: the Het Steen medieval fortress. But the city's soul is all cutting edge. The delightful mix of old and new is best on display in its historic city center, a maze of shops and landmarks built around the city's most impressive 16th-century Antwerp Cathedral. Stroll the encircling Meir, an expansive pedestrian boulevard where high-fashion stores and diamond shops are housed in 18th-century mansions. It's a city easily managed on foot, with a timeless appeal and modern twist.

Mark Hummel
In 1980, he formed the Blues Survivors, subsequently performed at numerous blues festivals around the U.S., including the Chicago Blues Festival and the San Francisco Blues Festival. Hummel has released a number of self-produced albums around his Oakland, California home, including Playing in Your Town (1985, Rockinitis Records), Up & Jumpin' (with Canadian guitarist Sue Foley, 1989-1990), and Hard Lovin' (1992, Double Trouble Records). His widely available albums include Feel Like Rockin' (1994, Flying Fish Records), Married to the Blues (1995, Flying Fish), and Heart of Chicago (1997, Tone-Cool/Rounder), an album recorded in Chicago on which Hummel was accompanied by some veteran Chicago sidemen, including drummer Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, guitarist Dave Myers, and producer/guitarist Steve Freund. Considered one of the top harmonica players in the U.S., Hummel has also judged and played in the Hohner Harmonica World Championships, held in Germany; he issued Low Down to Uptown in 1998. Golden State Blues was next, released on new label Electro-Fi with support from Hummel's usual backing band, the Blues Survivors. Retro-Active followed early in 2010. ~ Richard Skelly
