Primmorphs were obtained from single cells of both coral species Dendronephthya klunzingeri and Anthelia glauca following incubation for three or four days during 2001. Both ultraviolet light (UVB; peak of emission of 320 nm) and visible light (wavelength between 400 and 520 nm with a maximum at 480 nm) were applied to the primmorphs as stressors. The following incubation probes have been isolated from D. klunzingeri and were used to monitor the expression of the respective genes in the homologous cell system; the heat-shock protein HSP90 (to monitor general stress responses), the histone H4cDNA (to monitor the cell cycle/proliferation) and the UVS-related protein (response to ultraviolet light) from D. klunzingeri. The data show that the steady state level of HSP90 expression is only upregulated at low level of exposure to UVB (30 J/cm2), while at stronger irradiation the expression level decreases. The expression of the histone H4 gene is blocked following exposure to UVS. Interestingly, in the absence of UVB no transcripts of UVS-related protein can be visualized. However, after exposure of the primmorphs with 30 to 300 J/cm2 a strong upregulation of the expression of the UVS-related gene is seen. The response of the primmorphs to visible light is distinct to that following exposure to UVB. The expression of the gene for histone H4 is significantly upregulated following exposure to UVB, while no expression of the gene UVS-related protein can be detected. It is concluded that, the primmorph system is useful to assess potential nature and anthropogenic disturbances on coral cells. 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z Influence of salinity variations on zooplankton community in el-mex bay, alexandria, egypt Zakaria, H.Y. Radwan, A.A. Said, M.A. http://hdl.handle.net/1834/2211 2015-02-17T14:41:23Z 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z Influence of salinity variations on zooplankton community in el-mex bay, alexandria, egypt Zakaria, H.Y.; Radwan, A.A.; Said, M.A. El-Mex Bay receives a heavy load of waste waters (7×109 m3/year) both directly from industrial outfalls and indirectly from Lake Maryuit via El-Mex Pumping Station. Zooplankton samples were collected bimonthly from seven stations during the period March 2005 to January 2006 to illustrate the influence of salinity variations on the abundance and community structure of zooplankton in El-Mex Bay waters. Based on the salinity values, four water types are identified: the mixed land drainage (L) of salinity < 10ppt, mixed water (M) of salinity range 10 to 30ppt, diluted sea water (D) of salinity range 30 to 38.5 ppt and Mediterranean Sea water (S) of salinity > 38.5. The highest zooplankton standing crop (106.6×103 ind/m3) was recorded in the mixed land drainage water type (L); while the lowest counts (5.9×103 ind/m3) was found in the Mediterranean Sea water type (S). Rotifera were the most dominant zooplankton groups in water type (L) constituting about 86% to the total zooplankton and represented by 19 species belonging to 10 genera. Brachionus urceolaris and Filinia longiseta dominate Rotifera population. Protozoa was the second important group in this water type contributing 9.23% to the total zooplankton crop. In water type (M), Rotifera, Protozoa and Copepoda were the most dominant groups constituting 57.87%, 21.32% and 13.45% to the total zooplankton counts respectively. In water type (D), Copepoda and their larval stages were the most dominant zooplankton groups constituting about 51% to the total zooplankton. Protozoa was the second important group constituting 37.20%, while Rotifera represented only 4.20%. In the Mediterranean water type (S), Copepoda and their larvae were the most dominant zooplankton group, forming 49.46% of the total zooplankton. Oithona nana, Acartia clausi and Paracalanus parvus dominated copepod population. Cirriped larvae occupied the second order of abundance at this water type with a percentage frequency of 19.17% to the total zooplankton crop. 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z Influence of barley straw and submerged macrophytes on fishpond wastewater quality Ghobrial, M.G. Okbah, M.A. Gharib, S.M. Soliman, A.M. http://hdl.handle.net/1834/2210 2015-08-11T20:31:16Z 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z Influence of barley straw and submerged macrophytes on fishpond wastewater quality Ghobrial, M.G.; Okbah, M.A.; Gharib, S.M.; Soliman, A.M. Barley straw has received, recently, considerable attention as an algicide, which could be used to control algal growth in fishponds. It is regarded as cost-effective, user friendly and environmentally sounds. On the other hand, the submerged wetland macrophytes are crucial for the stabilization of clear water state in shallow lakes, by their active production of anti-algal compounds (allelochemicals) through allelopathy. Microcosm experiments using barley straw and the submerged macrophytes: Najas marina L., Potamogeton pectinatus L. and Ceratophyllum demersum L. in culture media with fishpond water were carried out outdoors to simulate the situation as natural as possible. Nutrients concentrations were measured beside the analysis of phytoplankton and zooplankton communities were analyzed during nineteen days incubation period. Nitrogen and phosphorus elements were determined in the tissues of used aquatic macrophytes at the beginning and by the end of the experiment. Multivariate statistical assessment using matrix correlation and principal components analysis was applied for interpretation of the experimental data. Principal component PC1 in barley straw medium accounted for about 47% of the total variance with strong correlation between selected parameters and a positive coefficient (r = 0.94 and 0.84) for diatoms – PO4 and diatoms – SiO4 respectively. On the other hand, PC1 in the status of N. marina and C. demersum contributed to 46% and 58% of the total variance, respectively with high positive loading between diatoms and green algae, while in case of P. pectinatus PC1 accounted for 62% of the variance with positive loading for chlorophyll – a, green algae and rotifers. Thus, rotted barley straw stimulated the growth and dominance of diatoms, rather than the green algae, throughout the incubation period. In the mean time, the macrophytes had allelopathic impact on the diatoms community, particularly Najas, while stimulated growth of the green algae. Zooplankton community was dominated by rotifers in all macrophytes media, while protozoan dominated barley straw medium. Complete depletion of nutrients was detected after few days in all media, while oxygen sustained acceptable levels. Phytoplankton assemblages shifting from green algae dominance to diatoms in barley straw medium is recommended as an invention to provide an integrated bioremediative product with readyto-use. Active biological compounds (algicides) derived from barley straw were more reliable than allelochemicals from aquatic macrophytes. Through their beneficial effects they would render aquatic environments such as, ponds, lagoons, aquaria, aquaculture systems, wastewater treatment, holding or conveying systems more aesthetically pleasing, efficient in aquatic animal production, and less susceptible to algae and other undesirable aquatic plants. They would thus require less maintenance. It is a tentative suggestion to use barley straw for field manipulation experiments. 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z Surface characteristics and coverage pattern of the new damietta port area, as mapped by high resolution remote sensing Moufaddal, W.M. http://hdl.handle.net/1834/2208 2015-02-17T14:41:23Z 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z Surface characteristics and coverage pattern of the new damietta port area, as mapped by high resolution remote sensing Moufaddal, W.M. The New Damietta port area has been subjected to large landscape changes and reformations since construction of the port in early 1980s. The area still under development and is expected to experience some more changes during the next few years. This reveals the urgent need for assessment of the present coverage pattern and land-uses of the port area. The present study attempts to determine details of land cover and land use information of the New Damietta port and surrounding area using high resolution remote sensing in conjunction with results of the ground survey and field observations. A recent image from QuickBird has been used for this purpose. Land cover types and surface characteristics were described and their areas estimated and mapped using the standard remote sensing methods. Results of this study show that the landscape of the New Damietta port area is dominated by man-made cover types and infrastructures, rather than natural land cover types. The most prominent surface features of the study area include: port area, bare land, water bodies, road and rail network, built-up area, and sand dunes. The area includes also various types of land use e.g. commercial and industrial, agriculture and mixed crops, residential fabrics and dump sites. 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z

James J. Kilpatrick has worn half a dozen hats during a long life in the news business. He has been reporter, editor, columnist, commentator, and briefly an adjunct professor of journalism. He regards himself primarily as a writer who functions as a critic of ideas.
Born in Oklahoma in 1920, he began his professional career in 1941 as a reporter for the Richmond, Va., News Leader. In 1949 he succeeded Douglas Southall Freeman as editor of the News Leader's editorial pages.
In 1964 he began writing "A Conservative View." Over the next 28 years, he became the most widely syndicated political columnist in the country. In 1981 he took on a weekly column, "The Writer's Art," on the use and abuse of English. In 1992, seeking a slower pace in semiretirement, he bade farewell to "A Conservative View" and turned to the love of his public life, the U.S. Supreme Court, with a new column called "Covering the Courts." Upward of 200 newspapers have signed on.
Mr. Kilpatrick achieved his 15 minutes of fame during nine years as a debater on "60 Minutes." Over the years he has served as a talking head on "Meet the Press," "Inside Washington," and other television programs. He has written or edited 11 books, including two dealing with the writer's art.
In June 1998, he married syndicated columnist Marianne Means, thus inheriting eight grandchildren to go with his own seven. The newlyweds live in a century-old townhouse in Washington. They both are members of the capital's prestigious Gridiron Club.
He's also a trustee of the Supreme Court Historical Society and a founding trustee of the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression. He writes frequently in defense of freedom of the press.
It remains to be said only that Mr. Kilpatrick cherishes other honors and high positions. He is No. 1 Pea, Pro Tem., of the Black-Eyed Pea Society of America, an office he voted himself into in 1961. He is the recording secretary of his political party, the True Whig Party, and served as doorkeeper and bartender for the party's last national convention in 1856.
In its petition to the Supreme Court, Laws' counsel argues that if Judge Bybee's opinion is affirmed, the likeness of any prominent person could be used without his consent on any licensed work that is subject to copyright.
First, a caveat: There is no rule -- absolutely NO rule -- against using nouns as adjectives! The supposed rule is an old grammarian's crotchet, to be prudently ignored.
First the good news: The Supreme Court will hear argument early next year in the sad case of a 19-year-old who tried to outrun some Georgia cops and wound up a paraplegic.
Robert Browning said it first, but the architect Mies van der Rohe made it famous: "Less is more." It's a fine rule for writers -- let us use only necessary words -- but "less is more" is not a rule to be followed blindly.
Some long-forgotten jurist long ago laid down a maxim for the ages: "De minimis non curat lex." Loosely translated: Appellate courts should not bother with trifles.
The field includes a minister's brief homily, an author's introduction, a student's book report and, more particularly, an editor's editorials.
How did "quality" get to be an adjective? In 1936 or thereabouts, the gurus of Merriam-Webster counted their citations and declared that a rite of passage had occurred.
Verily, verily, remarked the Preacher, of the bringing of First Amendment cases there shall be no end. The venerable Ecclesiastes thus provided a text for an important case now pending in the Supreme Court on a petition for review.
Seventeen years have passed since Jeffrey Landrigan murdered Chester Dean Dyer, but the story won't go away. Now the record is resting in the U.S. Supreme Court on Arizona's appeal from a regrettable decision in the 9th Circuit.
My sympathies are with the irresponsible driver, crippled by his own lawless behavior, but my heart goes out to the cop. A policeman's lot is not a happy one.
Viewed in one way, the two union labor cases now awaiting argument in the Supreme Court are much ado about mighty little.
The questionnaires are of interest. Most of the 79 questions dealt with violence; 10 dealt with sex.
Unless the U.S. Supreme Court intervenes, Morton R. Berger will spend the rest of his life in an Arizona prison. Maybe he deserves it. Then again, maybe not.
Four years ago, in a different place far away, another smart-aleck also stood upon his First Amendment rights. He had better luck, and now he's in the U.S. Supreme Court, ready to defend his glorious victory against a formidable foe.
On the Fourth of July in 2002, John Gilmore set out to fly from the West Coast to Washington, D.C. As things turned out, he never made the trip, mainly because the airline security folks wouldn't let him board a plane. He hasn't flown commercially from that day to this.
eorge W. Bush took the presidential oath on that January day in 2001, came home from the Hill, and promptly issued Executive Order No. 13,199. Thus he created, overnight, the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives.
The city of New York wants to protect its vagrant citizens in its way -- preferably far away.
The facts in the case of Weldon Angelos are not in dispute: He really did sell 24 ounces of marijuana to an informant, and he really did carry a handgun when he did it.
Ah, the subjunctive mood! Editors have been writing its obituary for the past 400 years.

Dentist personalized experience for each patient
At his retirement three years ago, Dr. Jack Rickard's wife presented him with a scrapbook containing thank-you notes from generations of dental patients.
"I was utterly amazed at the outpouring of love for him from his patients when he retired," said his daughter, Karen Funk of Randolph, N.J. "They were so sad he wasn't going to be their dentist anymore."
Dr. Jack R. Rickard of Mt. Lebanon died Friday, Dec. 28, 2012, in ManorCare Health Services in Green Tree. He was 76.
He was born in Charleroi to Robert and Valeria Rickard. His father worked for Corning Gas Co., and his mother called bingo games, especially at the fire hall.
He graduated from Westminster College and obtained a dentistry degree from the University of Pittsburgh.
"He always wanted to be his own boss, and he was good in science. He didn't want to be a doctor because of the hours," said his wife of 53 years, Harriet Rickard.
After dental school, he served in the Army in Landshut, Germany, for three years.
He ran his one-man office on Peermont Avenue in Dormont for 44 years.
"He was the kind of dentist that knew all his patients, knew about their families," his wife said.
Forgoing a hygienist and receptionist, he took patients' files home after work and filled out insurance claims and wrote letters to patients on his Smith Corona typewriter. He never computerized his office.
He sent hand-written appointment reminders to all his patients, even his wife and adult children.
"When I found that he did it to his own wife, I found that hilarious," Funk said.
A devoted father, grandfather and avid sports fan, he attended his children's athletic events, cheerleading meets and band trips, and his grandchildren's games. He was a season ticket holder for Mt. Lebanon football for 45 years and for Pitt football for 41 years.
He met his wife at Westminster College. Two of his children went to Westminster, but Funk went to Penn State.
"It killed him a little bit inside to have to write those checks to Pennsylvania State University because he was a Pitt alum," she said with a laugh.
A trumpet player from high school through college, he had a collection of 5,000 CDs of jazz, big bands and Christmas music.
In addition to his wife and daughter, survivors include a son, Robert of New Wilmington; another daughter, Rebecca, of Beechview; a sister, Olive Konick, of Bridgeville; and three grandchildren.
Visitation will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Wednesday in Laughlin Memorial Chapel, 222 Washington Road, Mt. Lebanon. A memorial service will be held in Sunset Hills United Presbyterian Church at a later date. Interment will be private.
The family asks that memorials be in the form of contributions to Sunset Hills United Presbyterian Church, 900 Country Club Drive, Mt. Lebanon, PA 15223; Westminster College, 319 S. Market St., New Wilmington, PA 16172; or a charity of one's choice.

When the baseball game ended the scoreboard told the story: 13-0. Another lopsided outing; this one two days after an 11-1 blowout. What to do? Newtown High School Coach Matt Memoli decided having his team members run laps around the field against set times as he clocked them with a stopwatch was in order. This wasn't punishment for losses. Oh, no. In fact, Newtown was on the winning end of both of those one-sided games — the 11-run outburst at Weston on April 29, followed by the baker's dozen eruption in a triumph over visiting Kolbe Cathedral of Bridgeport on May 1.
Newtown High School's girls' track and field squad defeated each of the three schools it hosted at Blue & Gold Stadium on May 5. The Nighthawks defeated Bunnell of Stratford 94.5-55.5, Brookfield 122-28, and Notre Dame-Fairfield 140-10 and improved to 7-0 this spring.
Newtown High School's boys' track and field team defeated three opponents in a meet at Blue & Gold Stadium on May 4. Newtown defeated Notre Dame-Fairfield 114-17; Brookfield 84-66; and Bunnell of Stratford 81-69.
Newtown High School's boys' lacrosse team carried a five-game winning streak, and an 8-2 overall record, into a scheduled May 7 visit to New Fairfield, at 4 pm. The winning ways have included a trio of nail-biting one-goal contests, including two this past week. Matt Meyers played a role in each goal the Nighthawks scored against visiting New Milford, on April 30. And it was just enough. Meyers registered four goals and assisted on four others in an 8-7 win over Newtown's South-West Conference rivals. In a nonconference clash with Guilford, on May 2, host Newtown prevailed 9-8. In a return to SWC action, the Nighthawks earned a 12-5 win at Masuk of Monroe on May 5.
First-season struggles, growing pains … time to build? None of this applies to the first-year Newtown High School varsity girls' golf team. The Nighthawks are playing like seasoned golfers, easily winning each of their first five matches of the campaign. It doesn't hurt that the team members do have some experience on the course. They practiced as a club squad last year, and competed in some junior varsity matches.
Near the start of its meeting on Tuesday, April 21, the Board of Education held a "celebration of excellence" to honor the Newtown High School wrestling team.
NHS Athletic Director Gregg Simon introduced the wrestling team to the board, and said, "I've been involved with athletics at the high school for the last 25 years, so I think I can say with certainty that this is the most successful team in the history of Newtown High School."
Mr Simon outlined the team's recent accomplishments, which included winning the South-West Conference, Class LL championships, and the State Open championships, finishing second at the New England championships, and being named the Connecticut High School Coaches Association Team of the Year.
They finished a 5K race, but the competition was only just beginning for about 50 athletes who were among those to participate in the first charity Wingathlon, which started and finished at the Fairfield Hills campus on May 2. The duathlon continued with a 26K cycle and concluded with another 5K run. Hustling to their bikes, competitors quickly got their helmets on and pedaled off, back out of the Fairfield Hills campus and onto surrounding streets before returning to do the 5K run all over again. This race was part of a morning-long event, which also included a Family 5K Run/Walk, to raise money for Dylan's Wings of Change, a foundation established to honor the life of Dylan Hockley.
Newtown High School's baseball and softball teams both extended winning streaks to five games with victories at home over Kolbe Cathedral of Bridgeport, on May 1. The baseball squad scored a 13-0 triumph, and the softball team posted a 6-2 victory. The teams each earned lopsided wins over Weston on the road, on April 29. Coach Matt Memoli's hardball lineup earned an 11-1 triumph, and Coach Bob Guererra's softball lineup won 9-2.
The First Annual Newtown Wingathlon, to benefit Dylan's Wings of Change, will take place on the morning of Saturday, May 2. Travelers can expect delays and some road closures between the hours of 8 am and noon, in and around Fairfield Hills and southern Newtown, and are asked to be aware of and watch out for runners and bicyclists.
Newtown High School's boys' track and field team competed in two regular-season meets, as well as the O'Gradys Relays at Danbury High, this past week. The Nighthawks had some strong performances in various events.

Brice Somers became an inventor after he retired from the record industry at age of 59 in 1975, thereafter registering ten patents for his designs. At the age of 93 he was a runner-up for the 2009 Times/Sternberg Active Life Award, which celebrates the achievements of those aged over 70 who have done much for society and for good causes. As one of the five runners-up he received £1,000 for the invention of his prefilled retractable safety syringe, which protects the lives of healthcare workers by preventing them from accidentally pricking themselves as they dispose of used needles.
He decided to address the problem of "needlestick" injuries after reading a World Health Organisation report on the high injury and death rate among healthcare workers and in developing countries where syringes are often re-used. Needlestick injuries cause an estimated 1.3 million deaths a year, predominantly in poorer countries, where up to 40 per cent of injections involve the re-use of unsterilised needles. Worldwide, as many as 18 billion injections are administered annually.
Somers developed and tested five prototypes, then lodged patent applications for his prefilled retractable safety syringe. It works by retracting the needle immediately after use, permanently locking it inside the barrel and preventing any re-use. At the time of his death he was in talks with manufacturers in an effort to get his device into production; he estimated that each syringe would cost only fractionally more than a conventional syringe.
Stanley Brice Lascelles Somers was born in 1916 in Hove, the son of Charles Somers, a barrister, and his wife May. He was one of seven siblings — one of his sisters was the portrait painter Juliet Pannett — and was educated at prep school in Brighton and at Malvern College. In 1937 he enrolled on a chemical engineering course (plastics) at Brighton College of Technology. His studies were interrupted by the outbreak of war; he served as a major in the Royal Marines, participating in the Normandy Landings at Gold Beach, on D plus 9. He was subsequently instructed to head for Antwerp and described in his memoirs how he was the first British officer into the Belgian city on September 3, 1944. The Belgian Resistance asked him to witness the appalling scenes within Breendonk prison camp; he was the first officer to see the harsh conditions after the SS guards fled.
After demobilisation he decided to combine his technical knowledge with his love of music, and spent his cash grant from the Government visiting several record plants in the United States. On returning home, he presented his voluminous notebook to Decca Records and was engaged as assistant to the director of research, Lord Halsbury. Somers was responsible in 1948 for developing the first vinyl LP records to be manufactured in Europe.
He was later approached by Mercury Records and became director of its international division. This included selecting an exclusive distributor in each country for the entire Mercury catalogue. He also organised the label's mobile recording van to record the best orchestras in the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War in the 1960s — the first time that this had happened.
Somers used cutting-edge US technology for the recordings, together with Mercury's own artist, the American pianist Byron Janis, and the records, made with the Moscow Radio Orchestra and the Moscow Symphony Orchestra, among others, quickly become classics. It had, however, taken four visits to Moscow for Somers to reach agreement with the Soviet authorities. On more than one occasion the talks were punctuated by the Soviet negotiators calling for more vodka. Somers later recalled: "We were in a good position because the Russians knew we had the world's best recording system and they wanted to see it. We said that if they made us a reasonable contract for the recordings they could come and look at everything they wanted. They sent 25 different groups of technicians on different days, to ask questions and look at our recordings."
The recordings, known as the Mercury Living Presence Sessions, were finally made over ten days in June 1962 in Moscow. Somers recalled that, during one session, the Russian cellist Mstislav Rostropovich suddenly walked in "with a friendly greeting and then entertained us by playing the piano superbly — with his hands behind his back."
Somers also worked closely with Quincy Jones, at one time bailing out the American musician when he and his band ran out of funds while on tour in Russia in the late 1950s. The two became firm friends; on Somers's 91st birthday Jones sent him a message in which he said that he "cherished" their friendship, adding: "When I grow up I want to be just like you" (Jones was then only 76).
Somers's inventions were many and varied. At the age of 69 he invented the "Archiflux" — a flexible Archimedes spiral in a tube that pumps dry powder upwards and around corners. This was patented and manufactured for the pharmaceutical and food industries. At 75 he patented an interlinking audio cassette storage rack called the "Somersette", selling the rights to Sony; at 80 he invented an improved balloon catheter for arterial dilatation, expanding clogged sections of arteries, selling the rights to a Swiss manufacturer.
Somers's activities in older age were not confined to inventions. He learnt to paint at the age of 70 and held three one-man exhibitions in Geneva, selling 150 watercolours.
He is survived by his wife, Claire-Lise, to whom he was married for 57 years, and by two children and two stepchildren.
Brice Somers, inventor, was born on April 24, 1916. He died on March 13, 2010, aged 93

'Breaking Bad' actor runs for NM school board seat
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — An actor from the TV show "Breaking Bad" is seeking to win a seat on Albuquerque's school board.
Steven Michael Quezada, who plays federal drug agent Steven Gomez on the Albuquerque-based show, is running unopposed Tuesday for a seat on the city's West Side.
There's no incumbent in that district, and Quezada was the only candidate to file for the position.
Three of Quezada's four children attend the Public Academy for the Performing Arts, a charter school where the actor has been active on the governing board.
The AMC hit television series is finishing filming its fifth and final season.
"Breaking Bad" follows former high school teacher Walter White, played by Bryan Cranston, producing and selling methamphetamine with a former student, Jesse Pinkman, played by Aaron Paul.

Want a different look? Then Belt-it and get the look you want
Some women think they cannot wear leather belts because of their body type or size. We like to think otherwise. There is a belt for every body and below are four ways a belt can bring out your look, style, and accentuate the best parts of your body.
Want a different look? Then Belt-it and get the look you want.

The ADA Lavina belt can easily transform a laid back t-shirt and jeans look and make it more fashion forward. If you're feeling more vibrant, then the ADA Allie Braid Belt can separate a pattern on a dress by being worn higher on the waist and that automatically highlights your waist.

- ethambutol
- An antibiotic with bacteriostatic, antimicrobial and antitubercular properties. Ethambutol interferes with the biosynthesis of arabinogalactan, a major polysaccharide of the mycobacterial cell wall. It inhibits the polymerization of cell wall arabinan of arabinogalactan and lipoarabinomannan by blocking arabinosyl transferases and induces the accumulation of D-arabinofuranosyl-P-decaprenol, an intermediate in arabinan biosynthesis. This results in halting bacterial growth. Check for active clinical trials using this agent. (NCI Thesaurus)

In the Rolex Middle Sea Race, the pontoons have rapidly filled at the Royal Malta Yacht Club throughout the past two days. With the line honours winner of the 2012 edition, Esimit Europa 2, arriving on Wednesday and the overall race winner, Hi Fidelity, confirmed yesterday evening, the focus shifted to welcoming home the first Maltese boat along with the remainder of the fleet following a slow and punishing 606-nm race.
Post race dockside ambiance at the Royal Malta Yacht Club - 2012 Rolex Middle Sea Race
Early this morning (Friday), the first Maltese finisher and last year's overall champion Artie, crossed the line. 'This is a difficult race. The first night makes or breaks it,' explained co-skipper Christian Ripard, a veteran of the race. 'We worked very hard that first night and got it right. Unfortunately we then got stuck in some big holes, which was very frustrating.' At Capo San Vito (the halfway mark) Artie failed to make the slight wind shift in time while her closest rivals took advantage and pulled clear. 'The boats slightly larger than us were always a little bit ahead with the weather,' admitted Ripard.
Times recorded at waypoints along the course suggested Artie was leading on handicap for much of the race. Ripard insists that this did not affect the crew's approach. 'The race is over when it's over, and we weren't really aware of that. We did our best, it was a great race and everybody did a great job working really hard but we just kept on getting stuck.'
British boat Trustmarque Quokka crossed the finish line at midday today. Skipper Philippe Falle was brimming with enthusiasm despite the long week: 'Retiring never really crossed the mind. It was an intriguing race, a bit off the wall with the conditions and parking. The overall performance of team and scenery made up for everything. This is my favourite of the four (Rolex Middle Sea Races) I have done even though it was so slow.'

The nine boats still sailing have until 08:00 CEST on Saturday 27 October to complete the course ahead of tomorrow's final prizegiving, to be held at the Mediterranean Conference Centre, Valletta at 12:00 CEST.
Slovenian entry Esimit Europa 2 claimed line honours finishing the course in 85 hours, 33 minutes and 15 seconds.
South African entry Hi Fidelity is the overall race winner.
A full review of the 2012 Rolex Middle Sea Race will be published on Monday 29 October.

I agree, this was painful to watch, I couldn't tell if he was nervous or getting ready to cry. First time hearing or seeing Tony, and my confidence in this group has taken a big dump. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but this is not the face (or voice) you want managing a supposed 2 million ounces total. This is my only junior I'm in and I think I'm going to get out on the next pop as I'm almost even.
I'm heavy into royalty streaming companies, FNV and SAND. Sandstorm made a presentation there as well, watch Nolan Watson, I defy you not to have a man crush on him and want to invest in his company the next trading day after watching ;) This is what a confident management team looks like.
All that aside, not sure what to do with LSG, finally meeting the CEO this way...so dissappointed, this explains the collapse in the share price in my mind. He's stumbling, stuttering and bumbling all the way down. Sorry for bashing, hoping for the best...but wow...

Does your husband eat it?
Lunches that you make for him to take to work? Does he tell you what he wants or does he just eat what you send? I was just making my husband's lunch for in the morning because if I don't make it, he won't take one. He'll eat whatever I put in there though.
Tomorrow, he has: buffalo chicken soup with blue cheese crumbles, cucumber, red bell pepper, celery, banana, cashews, and an apple cinnamon bar.
Would your husband find that to be an acceptable lunch?
it was hard at first but it's made an amazing difference in our life. I've never felt better and between my husband and I we've lost 25 pounds.
Quoting Anonymous: Oh goodness, and that paleo thing would be a no go in my house....
Quoting Anonymous:
No he would not. We are a strict Paleo family and the soup and grain bar are not Paleo. Also those "grain" bars are full of sugar and loaded with crap, they are actually way unhealthy and not good for you at all.
Mine wouldn't be to happy with what you've shown. But since mine gets up before I do he makes his own lunch and our DS's lunch...I know he likes what he's taking. LOL

Trust the Lord!

just like a young child
on its mother's lap.

you must trust the Lord

Yemen's Saleh Postpones Plan to Go to U.S. for Treatment
Yemen's outgoing president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, has postponed his planned visit to the U.S. for medical treatment, the state-run Saba news agency said.
Members of Saleh's General People's Congress party proposed the delay today because of fears it would lead to instability, Saba said. Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets Dec. 30 demanding that Saleh and his relatives be prosecuted for the killings of more than 1,140 people since an uprising against his government last January.
Saleh said Dec. 24 that he would leave for the U.S. and let an interim government prepare for an election to replace him. The president agreed to step down in November after returning from medical treatment in Saudi Arabia for treatment of wounds he sustained during an assassination attempt in June.
State Department spokesman Mark Toner said Dec. 27 that Saleh's request to come to the U.S. was being considered and would only be granted if the visit is for medical treatment.

Tuaran Things to Do
See the Crocodile Show...
The biggest spectacle in the Crocodile Farm is the Big Crocodile Show that you can see two or three times a day in the central pool. Around the pool there are benches where you can sit down and enjoy the show.
Two artists enter the pool with two crocodiles in it. There they show lots of skills that can be breathtaking, not particularly because of beauty, but mostly because of danger. You can often see the fear in the eyes of the men.
First they tie up the mouth of the smaller Croc. The biggest one, an animals with a length of at least 3 metres, is the big star of the show. They make him open its mouth, because crocodile (almost) never attack humans with their mouth opened. Then, very carefully, they lie on the back of the animals, stick their hand in its mouth, brush its teeth and sit on it.
The smaller crocodile later is even a star in a dancing act on the traditional song "Jambatan do Tamparuli".Related to:

- Theme Park Trips
Feeding time...
At the leftside of the Crocodile Farm you will see a large pool with lots of large animals. This are some of the oldest ones in the park, and obviously some of the most hungry ones. Eight times a day you can see the feeding time of the animals here:
- 9:00, 10:30, 12:00, 12:45, 13:30, 14:15, 16:15 and 16:45.
It's impressive to see how quick the animals suddenly became as soon as their is food around: the caretaker really has to watch out for the animals. At the same time it is a funny sight to see how clumbsy the crocs look when they are trying to get hold of a fish. They have to move their head completely vertically and when they eat they only can move their mouth vertically, not horizontally.
From the bridge over the pool you have a very good view of the animals.Related to:
- Theme Park Trips
- Zoo
- Family Travel
Breeding of the food...
With 1.000 crocodiles of course you need an enormous amount of food. The animals are carnivores so in a special pool thousands of fish are breeded.
The pool in at the back of the park. You can buy food here to feed them and one single hand of food make the fish go wild. They jump out of the water with hundreds at a time to get a little bit of food. It a funny sight to see the slippery black fish swarm over and uder eachother. One bag of food costs 1 RM.Related to:

Tuaran Restaurants
Shangri La's Rasa Ria Resort: Luxurious Lunch
The luxurious Resort of Shangri La in Tuaran is not only a place to stay as a guest, you can also just go there to have a lunch or dinner. We went there after our visit to the Crocodile Farm to have an excellent lunch in a great environment.
The terrace were we ate is completely surrounded by nice wood carvings and has a great view towards the sea.
Favorite Dish: The food you can order here is very international. You can choose the delicious local kitchen, but you can also take a Chinese dish, or Indian, or you can just choose an Hamburger with fries.
I had some very nice fried calamares with fries, but I also tried some delicious local Sateh with fried rice.Related to:
- Spa and Resort
- Luxury Travel
- Food and Dining
Tuaran Shopping
Buy your Crocodile souvenir
The souvenir shop in the Park is not what you expect of a family park. No stuffed toys in the shape of a crocodile, no key-hangers. Instead you can buy yourself a wallet or a handbag made of Crocodiles skin.
All the Crocodiles in the park are breeded for their skin. At the end, all the animals will and up as an handbag in Paris or Milan, as a pair of shoes, or as a belt around a rich men's body. At the park you can buy these products for a good price.
Another products you can take home from the Taman Buaya Tuaran is a bag of Crocodile meat. Just outside the park there is a stall where you can buy the frozen meat.Related to:

Tuaran Favorites
Price Differences
Favorite thing: Like almost all attractions in Sabah, their is a difference between the local and the foreigners entrance fee in Tuaran. The Crocodile Farm costs 15 RM for an adult foreign visitor. A Malaysian visitor pays only 10 RM.
The opening times of the park are from 8:30 to 17:30, every day.Related to:

The Royal Aeronautical Society, also known as the RAeS, is a British-founded multidisciplinary professional institution dedicated to the global aerospace community. It is the oldest aeronautical society in the world.
The objectives of The Royal Aeronautical Society include: to support and maintain high professional standards in aerospace disciplines; to provide a unique source of specialist information and a local forum for the exchange of ideas; and to exert influence in the interests of aerospace in the public and industrial arenas.
The Royal Aeronautical Society is a worldwide society with an international network of 67 branches. Many practitioners of aerospace disciplines use the Society's designatory post-nominals such as FRAeS, CRAeS, MRAeS, AMRAeS, and ARAeS (incorporating the former graduate grade, GradRAeS).
The RAeS headquarters is located in the United Kingdom. The staff of the Royal Aeronautical Society are based at the Society's headquarters at No.4 Hamilton Place, London, W1J 7BQ.[1] The headquarters is on the north-east edge of Hyde Park Corner, with the nearest access being Hyde Park Corner tube station.

Branches and divisions[edit]
Branches are the regional embodiment of the Society. They deliver membership benefits and provide a global platform for the dissemination of aerospace information. As of September 2013, branches located in the United Kingdom include: Belfast; Birmingham; Boscombe Down; Bristol; Brough; Cambridge; Cardiff; Chester; Christchurch; Coventry; Cranfield; Cranwell; Derby; FAA Yeovilton; Farnborough; Gatwick; Glouc & Cheltenham; Hatfield; Heathrow; Highland; Isle of Wight; Isle of Man; Loughborough; Manchester; Marham; Medway; Oxford; Preston; Prestwick; Sheffield; Solent; Southend; Stevenage; Swindon; Weybridge; Yeovil
The RAeS international branch network includes: Adelaide; Auckland; Blenheim; Brisbane; Brussels; Canberra; Canterbury; Cyprus; Dublin; Hamburg; Hamilton; Hong Kong; Malaysia; Melbourne; Montreal; Munich; Palmerston North; Paris; Perth; Seattle; Singapore; Sydney; Toulouse; UAE;
Divisions of the Society have been formed in countries and regions that can sustain a number of Branches. Divisions operate with a large degree of autonomy, being responsible for their own branch network, membership recruitment, subscription levels, conference and lecture programmes.
Specialist Groups covering all facets of the aerospace industry exist under the overall umbrella of the Society, with the aim of serving the interests of both enthusiasts and industry professionals.
The Groups' remit is to consider significant developments in their field, and they attempt to achieve this through their conferences and lectures, with the intention of stimulating debate and facilitating action on key industry issues in order to reflect and respond to the constant innovation and progress in aviation. The Groups also act as focal points for all enquiries to the Society concerning their specialist subject matter, forming a crucial interface between the Society and the world in general.
As of September 2013, the Specialist Group committees are as follows: Aerodynamics; Aerospace Medicine; Aircraft Maintenance Engineers; Air Power; Air Law; Air Transport; Airworthiness & Maintenance; Avionics & Systems; Environment; Flight Operations; Flight Simulation; Flight Test; General Aviation; Greener by Design; Historical; Human Factors; Human Powered Flight; Management Studies; Propulsion; Rotorcraft; Space; Structures & Materials; UAS; Weapons Systems & Technologies; Women in Aviation & Aerospace
In 2009, the Royal Aeronautical Society formed a group of experts to document how to better simulate aircraft upset conditions, and thus improve training programs.[2]
The Society was founded in January, 1866 with the name 'The Aeronautical Society of Great Britain' and is the oldest aeronautical society in the world.[3] Early or founding members included James Glaisher, Francis Wenham, the duke of Argyll, and Frederick Brearey.[4] In the first year, there were 65 members; at the end of the second year, 91 members, and in the third year, 106 members.[5] Annual reports were produced in the first decades. In 1868 the Society held a major exhibition at London's Crystal Palace with 78 entries. John Stringfellow's steam engine was shown there.[6][7][8] The Society sponsored the first wind tunnel in 1870-71, designed by Wenham and Browning.[6]
In 1918, the organization's name was changed to the Royal Aeronautical Society.[9] In 1923 its principal journal was renamed from The Aeronautical Journal to The Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society and in 1927 the Institution of Aeronautical Engineers Journal was merged into it.[10]
In 1940, the RAeS responded to the wartime need to expand the aircraft industry. The Society established a Technical Department to bring together the best available knowledge and present it in an authoritative and accessible form – a working tool for engineers who might come from other industries and lack the specialised knowledge required for aircraft design. This technical department became known as the Engineering Sciences Data Unit (ESDU) and eventually became a separate entity in the 1980s.
In 1987 the 'Society of Licensed Aircraft Engineers and Technologists', previously called the 'Society of Licensed Aircraft Engineers' was incorporated into the Royal Aeronautical Society.

The Society awards a number of medals and prizes. These include its Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals. The very first gold medal was awarded in 1909 to the Wright Brothers.[19] Although it is unusual for more than one medal (in each of the three grades) to be awarded annually, since 2004 the Society has also periodically awarded team medals (Gold, Silver, and Bronze) for exceptional or groundbreaking team work in aeronautical research and development. Others awarded have included the R. P. Alston Memorial Prize for developments in flight-testing, the Edward Busk prize for applied aerodynamics, the Wakefield Medal for advances in aviation safety, and an Orville Wright Prize.[20] Honorary Fellowships and Honorary Companionships are awarded as well.

Named Lectures[edit]
Henson & Stringfellow Lecture and Dinner[edit]
The annual Henson & Stringfellow Lecture and Dinner is hosted yearly by the Yeovil Branch of the Royal Aeronautical Society, held at Westland Leisure Complex, and is a key social and networking event of the Yeovil lecture season. It is a black tie event attracting over 200 guests drawn from all sectors of the aerospace community.
John Stringfellow created, alongside William Samuel Henson, the first powered flight aircraft, developed in Chard, Somerset, which flew unmanned in 1848, 63 years prior to brothers Wilbur & Orville Wrights' flight.[24][25][26][27][28][29]
Wilbur & Orville Wright Named Lecture[edit]
The Wilbur & Orville Wright Named Lecture was established in 1911 to honour the Wright brothers, the successful and experienced mechanical engineers who completed the first successful controlled powered flight on 17 December 1903. The Wilbur & Orville Wright Lecture is the principal event in the Society's year, given by distinguished members of the US and UK aerospace communities.
The 99th Lecture was given by Piers Sellers, astronaut, on 9 December 2010 at the Society's Headquarters in London.[30]
The 100th Lecture was given by Suzanna Darcy-Henneman, Chief Pilot & Director of Training, Boeing Commercial Airplanes, on 8 December 2011.[31]
The 101st Lecture was given by Tony Parasida, Corporate Vice President, The Boeing Company, on 20 December 2012.[32]
The 2013 Lecture was given by Thomas Enders, CEO of EADS, on 12 December 2013.[33]
Amy Johnson Named Lecture[edit]
The Amy Johnson Named Lecture[34] was inaugurated in 2011 by the Royal Aeronautical Society's Women in Aviation and Aerospace Committee[35] to celebrate a century of women in flight[36] and to honour Britain's most famous woman aviator. The Lecture is held on or close to 6 July every year to mark the date in 1929 when Amy Johnson was awarded her pilot's licence. The Lecture is intended to tackle serious issues of interest to a wide audience, not just women. High profile women from industry are asked to lecture on a topic that speaks of future challenges of interest to everyone.[37]
Carolyn McCall, Chief Executive of EasyJet, delivered the Inaugural Lecture on 6 July 2011 at the Society's Headquarters in London.[38]
The second Amy Johnson Named Lecture was delivered by Marion C. Blakey, President and Chief Executive of Aerospace Industries Association (AIA), on 5 July 2012.
The third Lecture was delivered by Gretchen Haskins, former Group Director of the Safety Regulation Group of the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), on 8 July 2013.[39]
