Gas sensors using correlation spectroscopy compatible with fibre-optic remoted operation
H.O.Edwards and J.P.Dakin
This paper reviews methods for gas detection using real-time correlation spectroscopy. These methods involve using a gas sample in a reference cell as a matched optical filter to detect, preferentially, similar absorption spectra in a measurement cell. The methods all have the advantage of excellent selectivity, even using broadband sources, and are suitable for remote detection over optical-fibre leads. Our previously published methods using pressure and Stark modulation are reviewed. In addition, our recent theoretical treatment of the methods is presented. Finally, we describe new atmospheric-pressure measurements of gases using the method of phase-modulation spectroscopy.

Leopards, elephants, birdlife in abundance – Sri Lanka is a wildlife lover's paradise. Here's what you'll find in each national park...
Gehan de Silva Wijeyeratne
Sri Lanka is one of the best places in Asia for seeing wildlife. The island's isolation from the mainland, the heavy rainfall of the two diagonally blowing monsoons, and the country's wide range of altitudes have given Sri Lanka a variation in climate and biodiversity normally found only across an entire continent.
Sri Lanka is proud of its natural bounty. For over 2,000 years, swathes of land have been preserved as sanctuaries by Sri Lankan royalty – Mihintale, the world's first reserve, was created here in the third century BC. Now there are 100 areas of protected land in the country, and this is the pick of the bunch...
Best for: Leopards – the park hosts around 30, some of which are fairly bold for this normally secretive cat.
Drive time from Colombo: Six hours
What's nearby? Top-class surfing at Arugam Bay.

Located in the south-east of Sri Lanka, Yala is a beautiful area of lowland dry scrub sitting on a long stretch of coastline, punctuated by rocky outcrops. It is the premier national park of Sri Lanka, and arguably one of the best for mammals in Asia.
The top draw is the Sri Lankan leopard, a sub-species endemic to the country; in certain areas of the park, the average leopard density is as high as one cat to every square kilometre. During the fruiting of the palu trees in June and July, sloth bears are often observed.
Other animals you might spot include sambar (a large deer), spotted deer, buffalo, wild pig, stripe-necked and ruddy mongooses, langur monkey, toque monkey, golden jackal and Indian palm civet.
The combination of freshwater, marine, scrub and woodland areas ensures a high diversity of birds. Indeed, the park hosts 220 different types, and serious twitchers have recorded 100 species in a single day.
Ardent birdwatchers should also visit Bundala National Park (an hour away) or the Palatupana Salt Pans (ten minutes away), especially for migrant shorebirds.
Best for: Wild elephants – there are around 500 in the park.
Drive time from Colombo: Four hours
What's nearby? Tea-plantation-covered hillsides.
Family of elephants, Uda Walawe (Shutterstock)
Created to protect the watershed of the enormous Uda Walawe Reservoir, this park, just south of the central mountains, has extensive stretches of grassland as well as scrub jungle and riverine forest. It's the best in the continent for observing Asian elephants in the wild; in fact elephant sightings are virtually guaranteed, even if you only go on one game drive.
Otherwise, the park is poor for viewing mammals, but birdwatchers will enjoy the presence of fabulously named raptors such as the changeable hawk eagle, serpent eagle and grey-headed fish eagle.
Best for: Elephants – 150 feed on the park's scrub.
Drive time from Colombo: Five hours
What's nearby? The fascinating, Buddha-packed caves of Dambulla.
Sri Lanka peackock (Shutterstock)
Wasgomuwa is in the dry lowlands of the North Central Province, 40km north of the richly bio-diverse Knuckles Massif. All of the big game is found in Wasgomuwa, but bear and leopard are pretty elusive. However, it is very good for observing family units of elephants, still relatively wild with unpredictable temperaments.
Best for: Birds – the mixed flocks here have been subject to the longest study of the phenomenon.
Drive time: Five hours
What's nearby? Head due south to the laid-back beaches of Mirissa.
Indian pitta bird, Sri Lanka (Shutterstock)
Situated in the wet south-west of the island, this is the country's premier rainforest. The canopy towers up to 45m in places and more than half of the trees here are found nowhere else in the world. Mixed-species bird flocks are a key feature of Sinharaja. Around six endemic birds may make up one flock, including species such as red-faced malkoha, green-billed coucal and Sri Lankan blue magpie. Animals present include leopard, purple-faced langur, barking deer and three types of squirrel.
Best for: Seasonal elephants and large flocks of little cormorants.
Drive time: Five-and-a-half hours
What's nearby? The ruined monasteries and palaces of Polonnaruwa.
Sri Lanka elephants (Shutterstock)
These two parks are within half an hour's drive of each other in the North Central Province, sited around two large reservoirs. Scrub jungle surrounds the lakes and contains many mammals, but game viewing is generally poor – except for the wonderful seasonal congregation of elephants. The 'gathering' takes place in Minneriya during September and October, when over 300 elephants come together on the bed of Minneriya Lake, which dries out to create a lush grassland.
Best for: Birdwatching around the stunning 880m drop-off of World's End.
Drive time Colombo: Five hours
What's nearby? The terribly colonial hill station of Nuwara Eliya.
Sri Lankan sambar deer in Horton Plains national park (Shutterstock)
Towering up in the central highlands, Horton Plains is the highest plateau on the island. The cloud forests here are rich in endemic plants and animals that have adapted to the cooler climes (nighttime temperatures can fall below zero).
Birds such as the Sri Lankan whistling thrush and Sri Lankan bush warbler are best seen here. The dwarf lizard, found only in the montane zone, has evolved the ability to give birth to live young in order to avoid the problems of laying in such egg-chilling temperatures.
Best for: Sightings of the elusive sloth bear.
Drive time from Colombo: Four hours
What's nearby? The sacred 2,000-year-old bodhi tree amid the monuments of the ancient city of Anuradhapura.
Leopard in a tree, Sri Lanka (Shutterstock)
Wilpattu, Sri Lanka's largest park, is situated in the dry lowlands of the island's north-west and comprises a series of lakes – or villus – with varying degrees of freshness or salinity.
The park reopened in 2003 after nearly 15 years of closure. Over time, the wildlife should recover to its former abundance and become more habituated to vehicles – at the moment the animals are wary of any human presence.
Wilpattu was famous for its leopards, and big-cat enthusiasts are hoping this reputation will return. The park's fauna is similar to Yala, but visitors also have a chance of seeing the muntjac or barking deer.

December 7, 2002
AMHERST, MA - Amherst College placed 13 players in the scoring column on Saturday, including senior tri-captain center Pat Fitzsimons (Durham, NC), who tallied a career-high 27 points and game-highs of 13 rebounds and five blocks, en route to a lopsided 100-63 win over Westfield State College in the final round of the Pioneer Valley Men's Basketball Classic, hosted by Amherst. Springfield College improved to 2-3 with an 81-68 win over Western New England earlier in the afternoon.
Ranked 12th in the latest D3hoops.com national poll, Amherst ran its record to 6-0 and eclipsed the century mark for the first time since a 110-107 triple-overtime loss to Trinity College on Feb. 2, 2002. The game was a blowout from the start as the Jeffs opened with a 15-4 run and led the entire way. Four Amherst players joined Fitzsimons in double figures. First-year sharpshooter John Bedford (Ridgewood, NJ) poured in a career-high 14 points on 5-for-6 shooting and electrified the crowd with a breakaway dunk with 8:20 left in the second half. Junior guard Adam Harper (Washington, DC) filled the box score with 13 points, six steals, five rebounds and five assists. Fellow junior John Donovan (Holmdel, NJ) was similarly impressive with 11 points, while senior tri-captain forward Steve Zieja (Hadley, MA) followed with 10.
Fitzsimons dominated play from the opening tip and had 20 points and 10 rebounds under his belt by halftime. His 27 points came on 12-for-15 shooting, improving his team-leading field goal percentage to .681 (49-for-72). Fitzsimons finished second in the nation, led the NESCAC and set a new Amherst single-season school record with a .664 field-goal percentage last season.
With the game well in hand, Amherst head coach Dave Hixon '75 emptied his bench down the stretch and the reserves responded, extending what was a 29-point lead with 10:53 left in regulation to 40 points inside the final minute. Senior forward Sulaiman Jenkins (New York, NY) paced the second unit with eight points and three assists. Senior Neil Somers (Monson, MA), juniors Don Quinn (Princeton, NJ) and Frank Perry (Hartford, CT), and sophomores Russell Lee (Lorton, VA), Brian Preston (Wantagh, NY) and Ray Corrigan (Queens, NY) were also outstanding off the bench.
Junior guard Leonard Miller (Norwich, CT) led Westfield St. (2-4) with 19 points on 7-for-12 shooting. Sophomore center Chris Gonyor (Orange, NJ) chipped in with 11 points and eight boards.
In Springfield's win over Western New England, sophomore forward Andrew Anderson (Bloomfield, CT) led four Pride players in double figures with 17 points, while first-year Derek Yvon (East Longmeadow, MA) and junior Gary Greaves (Tuckahoe, NY) each added 16. Senior forward Kris Hebert (Chicopee, MA) poured in 25 points for Western New England, which dropped to 2-2 with the loss.
Amherst returns to action Tuesday at 7 p.m. at non-league foe Worcester State.

Defying predictions by surviving to second-albumhood, the Welsh comedy-rappers return with a bunch of songs whose aspirational humour has the ring of the university refectory. Take, say, HRT, in which they clamour for hormone replacement therapy to reverse a sex change caused by smoking too much weed (laugh? Sadly, I did). If you can accept that a load of puerile graduates are behind the gags, and that their laboured "rapping" makes Mike Skinner sound like Martin Luther King, there are some real laughs here. The most obvious is the violin-led single Your Missus Is a Nutter, but R&B, a paean to boy bands, has a couplet about Jason Orange that's some kind of brilliant. CS

This edition of Good Dirt contains two articles:
1) "Miantonomi Park Permanently Secured"
2) "Miantonomi Park Memorial Day Celebration and Walk"
Photo by David Thalmann
The largest park in Newport offers public recreational opportunities, wonderful nature trails and grassy playfields where children and families can picnic and play.
Photo by David Thalmann
Participants should meet at the picnic area off Hillside Avenue at 1:00pm Monday, May 30th. The tour will take place rain or shine, so please dress accordingly.
On May 13, 2005, after working together for approximately two years, the City of Newport, the Miantonomi Memorial Park Commission, and the Aquidneck Land Trust secured the City,s largest park, Miantonomi Park, with a permanent Conservation Easement conveyed to the Land Trust by the City. This 29.78 +/- acres conservation transaction is the largest and most important Newport project completed by the Aquidneck Land Trust to date.
Miantonomi Park is a very unique and important place. The park is in a densely developed portion of Newport located between Hillside Avenue and Girard Avenue, bound on the south by Admiral Kalbfus Road. It affords numerous scenic views to the multitude of passersby in the area. The park also has important wildlife habitat values due largely to its relatively substantial mature deciduous forest, a unique resource for an urban environment. The park is well known for providing important bird habitat in the region and attracts a wide variety of migrating warblers during the spring season. A number of other species have also been observed on the property: Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos); Red-bellied Woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus); Downy Woodpecker (Picoides pubescens); Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis); and White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus). The park also provides a number of public recreational opportunities as it has wonderful nature trails and grassy playfields where children and families can picnic and play. Miantonomi Park is known for its historical values as well. It was once the seat of power for the Narragansett Indians who inhabited Aquidneck Island long before the Europeans came. The park is named after the Narragansett Indian Sachem, or Chief, Miantonomi. Because it is one of the highest points on Aquidneck Island, European settlers used it as a lookout. In 1667, a beacon was built on Miantonomi Hill, and then rebuilt at the start of the Revolutionary War along with a fortification. The Stokes family sold the property to the City of Newport in 1921. In 1929, the Miantonomi Memorial Park Commission erected the stone tower on top of Miantonomi Hill to memorialize veterans of World War I. This urban gem has now been secured by an Aquidneck Land Trust Conservation Easement so that it may be enjoyed for generations to come.
A Conservation Easement is a legal agreement whereby a landowner (e.g., City of Newport) transfers a partial property interest to a conservation organization (e.g., Aquidneck Land Trust) and/or government agency to permanently limit a property,s uses (e.g., prohibit harmful development) in order to permanently protect the property,s conservation values (e.g., wildlife habitat values, recreational values, historic values, and scenic values). The landowner remains the landowner and the conservation organization and/or government agency permanently oversees the restrictions in the Conservation Easement to ensure the property,s conservation values remain protected.
Why place a Conservation Easement on a municipal park? In 2004, the Aquidneck Land Trust completed an extensive mapping project that identified all of Aquidneck Island,s conserved lands. The project demonstrated that not all conserved lands are equal. In other words, there are different levels of protection afforded conserved lands. For purposes of the project, three conservation levels were identified: the highest level, Land Conserved with a Perpetual Conservation Restriction (e.g., Conservation Easement); Land Conserved with a Deed Restriction; and the lowest level, Land Held with Conservation Intent alone. Conserved lands falling into the latter two levels can be further secured with a perpetual conservation restriction such as a Conservation Easement. Good conservation is like good government, it requires checks and balances. A Conservation Easement can act as such a set of checks and balances. As a result of this conservation transaction, Miantonomi Park has moved up from the Land Conserved with a Deed Restriction level (the park was subject to some general and somewhat vague deed restrictions during the 1921 conveyance from Helen Stokes to the City of Newport) to the Land Conserved with a Perpetual Conservation Restriction level.
The Aquidneck Land Trust would like to thank the City of Newport and the Miantonomi Memorial Park Commission for their long-term vision and leadership on this important project. The Newport City Council and Newport City staff (in particular, Paige R. Bronk, Susan Cooper, Andrew DeIonno, Joseph J. Nicholson, Jr., Esq., and Scott D. Wheeler) deserve special recognition and credit. After the May 13th closing on the Miantonomi Park Conservation Easement, Ted Clement, the Aquidneck Land Trust,s Executive Director, stated, łI have very much enjoyed working with the City of Newport and the Miantonomi Memorial Park Commission for the last two or so years on this important project. The successful outcome of this project reminds us of the importance of partnerships to land conservation. Our partnership on this project has helped ensure that generations and generations of Aquidneck Islanders and others, including the flora and fauna of the area, will be able to enjoy Miantonomi Park.˛
The Aquidneck Land Trust has already completed 6 Conservation Easement transactions this year on a total of 109.33 +/- acres. The Land Trust,s total conserved acreage now stands at 1,213.12 +/- acres.
Join us at 1:00pm on Monday, May 30th at Miantonomi Park as we celebrate the recently completed Miantonomi Park conservation transaction and Memorial Day with the Aquidneck Land Trust,s first Land Matters Walk of 2005.
In celebration of the realization of the Aquidneck Land Trust Conservation Easement on Miantonomi Park, the Land Trust will provide a tour of the park which will highlight the park,s unique natural and historical features. Joining us on the tour will be Dr. Kathy Abbass, a local archaeologist and historian. Dr. Abbass has written extensively about the history of the area and has been involved with fascinating projects including the search for the wreck of the HMB Endeavor in Newport Harbor. Dr. Abbass will point out the park,s unique historic features during the walk. Also accompanying us will be Dr. Numi Mitchell. Dr. Mitchell, a local conservation biologist, has been involved with numerous conservation projects on Aquidneck Island (including a current research and education project on native coyote populations) and throughout the world. Dr. Mitchell will help participants see and learn about the natural wonders at Miantonomi Park. The memorial tower, built in 1929 to memorialize the veterans of World War I, on Miantonomi Hill will be open to the public both before and after the tour. This spectacular landmark is only open two days out of every year. Don,t miss this opportunity!
The Aquidneck Land Trust is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Its mission is to preserve Aquidneck Island,s open spaces and natural character for the lasting benefit of our community. For more information, please visit www.AquidneckLandTrust.org or call 401-849-2799.

Kim Kardashian And Kanye West Announce Baby's Name [VIDEO]
For just a few days, we enjoyed Kardashian-free bliss, like pre-2007-style! Sadly, that all came crashing down last night, when Kim and Kanye West's daughter's name was revealed.
It's . . . wait for it . . . NORTH WEST. I really wish I was kidding, but you can;t make this stuff up!
TMZ claims to have seen the birth certificate, and but E! is reporting that name too. Because that's the network that airs "Keeping Up With the Kardashians", you'd think they'd be the ones to know for sure.
A few months back, there was a rumor that they might call the baby "North West." At the time, we heard Kanye came up with it and, quote, "likes the way it sounds." Maybe because it's a direction? . . . that already exists? . . . perhaps he's heard it before? You know, the way they say it on the Weather Channel, it just ROLLS off the tongue.
For the record, back in March when we thought "North West" was just a stupid idea the Internet made up, Kim went on "The Tonight Show" and laughed at the name.
When Leno asked her about it, she chuckled, and said, quote,
"That is not true. That is not one of the names on our list. But you know what name I do like? But it probably won't be on [our list] . . . "I like Easton . . . Easton West? I think that's cute."
Get it? East-and West. It seemed like she was joking about that, too. But apparently she was thinking along those lines. North is sort of a weird name for a girl, although you could argue it's a weird name period.
When Leno told her Easton sounded like a boy's name . . . she said, quote, "You never know. Boys names are good for girls. I think it's cute."
Check out the video from "The Tonight Show" interview. They talk baby names at 2:40.

Covering up doesn't have to be boring. We need to make more of an effort to cheer ourselves (and those around us) up when the sun goes into hiding, and wearing a fun, funky, statement sweater is one of the best ways of doing so.
Wearing a Christmas jumper gets you in the holiday season spirit, and wearing a statemenet sweater will do the same for the autumn/winter season. Here are five loud, quirky, zany and down-right attention-grabbing sweaters:
1. You can always count on Roberto Cavalli to design something whimsical and attention-grabbing, and this sweater is sure to make a statement wherever you go. Just Cavalli printed pullover, £288
2.We love a good comical moustache – whether in jewellery form, print form, or anything else for that matter, we just can't get enough! Mango rhinestone moustache jumper, £34.99
3. Buy this ultra bright sweater one size bigger than you normally would and pair it with skinny jeans or leggings to make a great 80s style statement. Topshop knitted fluffy star jumper, £42
4. Markus Lupfer is the king of loud, proud and attention-grabbing tees and jumpers – this sequin skull sweater is just one of many! Markus Lupfer sequin skull jumper, £320.83
5. Leopard print will always get you noticed – as will bright colours and zany patterns. So, to make a true statement, incorporate the two! Boom – statementty goodness! Tibi Nelio jacquard easy pullover, $285

Tonia, if you're even thinking about starting the course, start getting your $$ together and take the plunge. Keep in mind that the posts and assignments that I've gone through are only the first CD. There are three in all and if you choose the "Graded" option (which is what I am taking) you get even more for your money with comments and feedback from those on the grading committee (this includes many who have their CG). If you're still on the fence though, why don't you post about it on the APG and/or TGF mailing lists and get more opinions. I don't think you'll be unsure after that.

National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Project
Results from an analysis of nitrate and pesticides in groundwater in the eastern San Joaquin Valley at the local and regional scale demonstrate that anthropogenic chemicals from nonpoint source inputs are being recharged to the groundwater system and are moving downward with time as a response to pumping and irrigation recharge (Burow and others, 2008). Two local-scale well networks (44 wells) and five regional-scale well networks were evaluated in the SANJ. The regional scale networks include three agricultural land-use networks (90 wells), one regional aquifer network (30 wells), and one historical data network (6,342 wells). Sampling results from monitoring, domestic, irrigation, public-supply, and other well types were investigated to maximize the use of available water-quality data.
Location of the San Joaquin (SANJ) Study Area (from Burow and others, 2008).
Concentrations of nitrate, the nematocide 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP), and the herbicide simazine were generally highest in the shallow part of the aquifer and decreased with depth. Concentrations of nitrate were highest beneath agricultural land, with concentrations in the shallow part of the aquifer as high as 75 milligrams per liter (mg/L). Nitrate concentrations in deep wells representing pre-development conditions were generally less than background concentrations of about 2 mg/L. Concentrations were greater than the USEPA drinking-water standards for nitrate or DBCP in 44 percent of domestic wells sampled during 200103, indicating that domestic drinking water supplies have been significantly affected by inputs of nonpoint source agricultural chemicals over time (Burow and others, 2008). In contrast to nitrate and DBCP, concentrations of simazine were low, ranging from less than 0.005 to 0.16 micrograms per liter, more than an order of magnitude below the drinking-water standard.
Concentrations of nitrate, DBCP, and simazine have increased since the 1950s throughout the aquifer system. Nitrate, DBCP, and simazine in groundwater are moving downward from the shallow portions of the aquifer into deeper parts of the aquifer in response to well pumping and irrigation recharge. Because of the time of travel between the shallow and the deeper part of the aquifer system, current concentrations in water from deeper wells, such as public-supply wells, likely reflect the effects of land use practices 40 or 50 years ago (Burow and others, 2008). Therefore, concentrations of nitrate and detections of pesticides will likely increase as the shallow groundwater migrates into the deeper portions of the aquifer. However, it is difficult to predict the length of time for water from public-supply wells to reach concentrations of concern without additional monitoring and analysis of the age of groundwater reaching wells screened in the deep part of the aquifer.

RISING star Jack Spencer has the chance to show off his talents when he takes on the world's best trials bike riders on home soil this weekend.
The 23-year-old from Bacup is one of a select group of British wildcard entries for the UK round of the World Trials Championship in Penrith.
But Spencer, who has been riding since the age of 13, and is a regular competitor in the British Championship, is no stranger to the world stage.
It will be his third appearance on a British round, and he also contested last weekend's WTC event in Belgium, finishing an excellent 13th overall.
"I'm really looking forward to it, and I'm targeting a top 10 result," he said.
"The atmosphere in World Trials is very different to the domestic series.
"The crowds are much bigger, which adds to the pressure. And obviously you are up against the world's best, although as a wildcard rider, we are ahead of them once the trial gets underway, so we don't get to see how they ride.
"But there isn't much difference in the severity of sections and obstacles that we face in the British Championship. You have to attack them in the same way, and make sure you don't get any penalties in the early sections, as that puts you under immense pressure for the rest of the day."
Spencer's displays on the British scene have drawn the attention of trial bike manufacturer Beta, who have struck a deal with him to ride a Beta 300 through their British arm, Beta UK.
And Cheshire-based Team Roundhouse are also helping out with support on WTC rounds.
"They take charge of the bike during the weekend, and instead of me have to ride then look after the bike out the back of my van, Team Roundhouse look after it, leaving me time to relax," said Spencer.
He has also been helped by John Whittle, owner of off-road activity centre Back Cowm Quarry at Whitworth, who has allowed him free use of the facility to train.
"I didn't have a great run in Penrith last year, and had to settle for 17th. I'm determined to put on a good performance this time," he said.

Since being selected with the 4th overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft, Gaines Adams has not exactly lived up to the expectations of a first round pick. It doesn't help, that the player the Bucs picked Adams over, Adrian Peterson, is considered the top running back in the NFL.
Adams has not been able to find the same success that he was able to achieve while at Clemson and some wonder whether he ever will. Even head coach Raheem Morris said the Adams needed to have double-digit sacks this season in order to avoid being labeled as a bust.
At Monday's press conference, Morris didn't shy away from talking about Adams and whether he has been able to get any sort of pass rush through the first two games of the season.
"He hasn't, and I think Gaines knows that," Morris said. "Gaines is one of those guys that knows he's judged on whether he's touched the quarterback or not. Right now he's not getting the production as far as not touching the quarterback. The tackles, the sacks – he's not getting any of that. He's just not playing up to par right now. He's holding himself accountable. We've got to hold him accountable. It's tough right now. He is not getting it done. There are no excuses, there are no explanations. Gaines is not getting it done right now."
Morris didn't stop there either and actually called out his defensive end for his lack of effort this season.
"Actually, when he started off the [2008] season he just played hard, he played harder than anybody he's playing against," Morris said. "Right now I don't see that. I don't see that same fire. I don't see him playing with the same speed and how hard he did last year. We've got to get that back. If we don't get that back, it's going to be a long season for Gaines and us."
Morris didn't rule out replacing Adams on the line if his struggles continue. Through two games, Adams has registered only four tackles and no sacks.
"We definitely have to change some things up, try to get some people out there," Morris said. "You have to find your best combination of players, your best people that can go out there and play and that's what our job is right now. You don't have to keep putting the same guys out there if they are not getting it done. You put new guys out there and let them go do it and let them get a shot at trying to do it at least."
Newly acquired defensive end Tim Crowder is a possible replacement after receiving praise from Morris on Monday. He is not the only one though. Quincy Black, Kyle Moore, and Stylez G. White could all make a run at attempting to crack the starting lineup.
"Crowder was a pleasant surprise yesterday," Morris said. "He was in there mostly on run downs, but when he was out there he showed up. Hope to see more of Crowder. Hopefully we can get Kyle Moore healthy, see more of Kyle Moore. Quincy Black has been another option we have talked about in the offseason."
For his career, Adams has 80 tackles, 12.5 sacks, and two interceptions. His first two seasons were pretty similar. He registered 38 tackles in each with 6.5 sacks coming in 2008 and 6.0 sacks coming in 2007. The only difference is that in 2008, Adams started in every game while in 2007 he only started in eight games but did play in all 16.

The Havana Middle School Bears engaged in an epic battle Sept. 12 with the Wakulla Middle School War Eagles, but lost 13-8.
Havana won the toss and elected to receive the ball. The Bears were unable to penetrate very far in to Wakulla's territory. The War Eagles took over and were largely kept in check. On third down and 13 the War Eagles were able to break a 35-yard run into the end zone.
East Gadsden High School took Rickards past regulation score but lost by two in the first game of the three-game volleyball match.
The effort then thinned out in games two and three. Rickards moved to 3-7 with the win.
The West Gadsden High School Panthers found the Bulldogs more than they could handle in a district matchup last week.
Finding very little defense to combat the Liberty County offense, West Gadsden spent most of the game without any offensive fire.
Liberty County remained undefeated at 8-0 on the season.

Second grade students at Robert F. Munroe Day School celebrated Johnny Appleseed's birthday with many fun activities. They made applesauce and stove pot hats, read a story about his life and created apple tree artwork using finger paint. Mrs. Mathers' class had an "applicious" good time learning about Johnny Appleseed.
When Georgeann Reffner and her husband, Rich, moved to Gadsden County a few years ago, she was sure of two things: she knew she would love small town living, and she wanted to give back.
She soon began working at the Gadsden Community Hospital, where she put her many years of nursing experience to work. She was troubled by the great need she saw for medical supplies, both in the hospital and in the community.
Reffner was working at the hospital when it closed in 2005, and she began once again to ask herself what she could do to give back to the community.
They tore our high school down. Now, that will frost your wheat cakes. Most of us were out of town when it happened. I have no idea who makes those kinds of decisions. I'm sure it had something to do with growth, progress and asbestos-free ceiling tile. I don't believe anyone in our class got a vote in the deal.
Aw, shucks! The ball bounced weakly on two hops right back to the pitcher. My heart sank. With men on second and third I had dug in just seconds before thinking I was going to be the hero. It was not to be the case this at-bat. A thousand thoughts raced through my head as the ball sank into the pitcher's mitt, none of them good. Failure is not a pleasant companion. I was already two steps toward first base, going through the motions of hustling out the play.
Me and Buddy Wiggleton and Bob Edwards used to push and shove our way through the baseball glove section of Robert Hall's Western Auto. The new leather had such a wonderful smell. And you mix in the distinctive aroma of the Neat's foot oil and the rubber hoses from the auto displays on the next aisle and that combined scent was the Western Auto store. We didn't linger to enjoy it. As a matter of fact, we were in such a hurry to get the good 99 cent Wilson baseball that we barely noticed.
The government once again has moved too slowly to help me. Where was this clunker program idea in 1954? Was Congress so engrossed in the Joseph McCarthy saga that they forgot about the rest of us? Was Eisenhower more interested in practicing his golf or monitoring the Marshall Plan than to my lonely plight in West Tennessee? Was the entire world's attention averted by the Monroe-DiMaggio wedding?

The presence of MosSi3 in MoSi2 preforms hinders the reactive infiltration of aluminum. To understand the role of Mo5Si3, the kinetics of aluminum infiltration into pure MosSi, is studied.Irrespective of the initial composition (MoSi2 or Mo5Si3) of the preform, the final product always contains Mo(Al,Si)2. However, the aluminum content in the two cases is different: when the preform is MoSi2, the aluminum content is 14-18 at.%,and, when the preform is MosSi3, the aluminum content is 25-27 at.%. The activation energy for the reactive infiltration of aluminum into the MosSi3 preform is 26 kj/mol.

When's the best time to visit Australia(21 Posts)
I certainly wouldn't go to Melbourne or Sydney in February - that is still summer and you have a high chance of 40 degree (or over) days. I find Feb a lot worse than December as the ground, the buildings etc have all heated up throughout the summer and the 40 degree days are totally unbearable particularly right in the city.
And the optimum time to do Uluru, North Queensland and Darwin would be July/August so it may be hard to combine both.
But October sounds like a pretty good compromise particularly if you aren't going to be North for very long.
I'd avoid Cairns. If you want to seethe reef then stay one night. Even Port Douglas has become very tacky and plasticky.
I'd go to Adleiade and explore the vineyards and German areas (for the food). What about Perth? Swim with dolphins and whale sharks.
Or go to the Northern Territory and Kakadu, Ayers Rock/Uluru etc
Christmas is massively expensive - for hotels, flights, everything. If you are at all budget conscious and can go at another time, do.
March / April, October / November. Warming up nicely but no stinking hot 40C days.
We go every Easter - the best chance of good weather everywhere. Flights are ok too, the double in cost at Christmas.
If you have 3 weeks, I think that's more than enough for 3 centres and Sydney (train up into Blue Mountains, spectacular), Melbourne and perhaps Uluru would be my pick. Don't go to Cairns unless it's as a hopping off point to the Reef - not worth it, quite dull.
I don't get the Adelaide love but Brisbane is increasingly fab - my very culture-loving husband always finds enough to keep him busy in Brisbane and it's handy for the Gold and Sunshine Coasts - some of the best beaches around.
I would recommend November or February for the south but it depends whether you are tied to school holidays, and that would be the wet season in Cairns. We have just returned from spending 2.5 weeks in Australia for the Easter holidays thinking that it would provide a decent balance and be reasonable in both Sydney and Cairns. Instead it rained for most of our first week in Sydney and we had to leave Cairns after 48 hours as Cyclone Ita was about to hit. Fortunately the last 5 days in Sydney and the Blue Mountains were clear, if not really warm. Our conclusion - you can't see both north and south at their best in one trip. We are going back next year, budget allowing, in July, to do Cairns, Uluru and possibly Darwin, as we were devastated not to be able to get to the Reef. We managed to get to the Rainforest in our one day in Cairns, which was spectacular, but the Blue Mountains was my highlight. Sydney is a really lovely city but the kids would have much preferred to have gone while it was beach weather. On the other hand, everyone kept insisting that the weather shouldn't have been like that!
It is beautiful this time of year in between it being brain burningly hot and too cold. For doing the tourist thing it would suggest autumn, it gets hot here in summer, January is our hottest month and it sucks. Early April it has cooled off enough that you escape the hot in the north but it isn't too cold in the south. We live halfway up the coast and the kids still swim until the Easter school break.
...for which I'd recommend Adelaide - wonderful beaches nearby (there's Glenelg at the end of a tram and the glorious Fleurieu Peninsula an hour away), Mt Lofty, Cleland wildlife park and then head off for a little bit of outback, time of year dependent.
Cairns itself isn't much - but is a good base to take day trips to the Great Barrier Reef, rainforest etc. Also can do white water rafting etc. Bit north of Cairns (Port Douglas) are the resorts where it is sit by pool and feel very luxurious.
Melbourne is the most "European" city, whether or not that is a good thing depends on your taste. Loads of restaurants, galleries etc. Good public transport too, which opens up the city to day trips without needing a car.
Sydney has lovely areas, but is a big city, with traffic snarls and personally not my taste, but I imagine a tourist wouldn't feel they'd done Australia unless they had seen the Opera House and Bridge... and they do have nice beaches. We took a lovely day trip to Ku-ring-gai Chase - a National Park about an hour drive north of Sydney, beautiful bushland, amazing inlet and you could hire a little boat to putt around in... and some amazing houses overlooking it.
Maybe choose 2 destinations (rather than Melb, Syd & Cairns), and try to do something a bit more "out of the box" in one place - an overnight trip into bushland, national parks or something less mainstream.
Sounds fun.
Yeah, I adore Melbourne (am born and bred) but as a tourist, go to Sydney. Fraser Island is nice too.
Cairns is soooooo boring.
I'd go our west instead. Or further down the QLD coast.
Summer is too hot and it's school holidays so everything is mire expensive. March is nice. Also October.
I'd do Sydney for the iconic places. Brisbane is good to relax and you are close to the gold and sunshine coasts and the hinterlands.
October/November would be nice - weather in Melbourne would be changeable (and possibility of wet) but it's lovely. I got married at the start of Nov near Melbourne a couple of years ago - it was 32ºC.
Previous poster was right - it'll be nice somewhere, whenever you come. Enjoy planning!
I vote for late spring, ie Oct-Dec
Unless you have lots of time I wouldn't do both Sydney & Melbourne, too similar (I'd pick Sydney, but stay very central)
Canberra is actually great to visit, very underrated
Then Queensland eg cairns, and if you have time the Red Centre
Also remember that if you go in spring/early summer (Oct-Nov/Dec) then the countryside outside of Melb/Syd will be lovely and green. If you go in Autumn (Mar-May) it will be totally dry and brown. Which can be nice (very distinctively Australian) but a bit odd looking to UK eyes I think. It did take me a few years to appreciate it and not long for rolling green hills.
March/early April is great. Feb absolutely roasting - well it is down here in Adelaide (think Greece in August) but not so sure about Sydney
This is a good link (Australia Bureau of Meteorology) you can check out average temps for different places.
February is a good time to go as I think most children are back at school and it is not so expensive or crowded. We went to Sydney and Tasmania in February a few years ago and weather was lovely.
Thank you - food for thought
Not that it really helps, but Melbourne weather is weird. Forecast for next week is 20degree sunshine. Hello late autumn!
I reckon November/early December is nice in Melbourne, as is March. Jan/Feb are generally stinking hot.
Christmas is super expensive though - it's when we all go on holiday too.
I went for my honeymoon last year in September, so a similar time. We had to rule out Melbourne as it was going to be too cold and wet, so did 5 days Sydney and 5 days in Brisbane/Gold Coast.
Sydney was very mild, though the weather was changeable- starting out hot (by uk standards anyway) then cooling down and breezier later or vice versa. However it was certainly still very pleasant, and even the coldest days just required a cardi/light jacket and we still sat outside in bars and restaurants etc.
Brisbane was balmy, although we got an unseasonable storm.
One thing I would say is that we regretted not going somewhere that wasn't a city, as it felt like a series of back to back city breaks(we had stopovers in Singapore and Hong Kong too). So Cairns would give you the experience of the rainforest/GBR/etc, or Fraser Island or the whitsundays. They're on the list when we eventually return!
the hugeness of Oz means it is always a good time somewhere. Xmas is of course summer for Sydney and Melbourne, but if you are thinking Sydney for new year you need to book yesterday. It will indeed be hot.
I spent a fun Christmas on a campsite in the Flinders ranges in South Australia, just on the limit of what is feasible for the outback. Very, very hot of course. I wouldn't go any further!
Cairns has no beach. You can't swim in the sea in the tropics round Oz for much of the summer due to jellyfish. Rivers are out due to crocodiles. I think it is also monsoon season, 'the wet' which makes a lot of places inaccessible.
So in Aussie summer go south, in their winter go north. October...interesting choice!
As the title says...
We're hoping to go for a three week family holiday to Australia - thinking Syndney, Melbourne, Cairns at least.
Originally we planned to go this Christmas - but now worry it will be too hot.
Any advice? Should we try for October next year instead?

Final Duel: See Which WTF?! Halloween Costumes Made It To Our Last Battle
This may come as a shock to you, but life-sized vaginas and costumes of fictional characters receiving fellatio are considered poor taste.
While I personally feel private parts and oral sex are just dandy in their natural forms, it's different when a human adult is parading around town with his massive labia on display for all to see (even if he says he's just a man in a boat).
So here we are. We're down to the final two WTF?! Halloween Costumes in our battle, and the last duel is between "Little Man in a Canoe" and "Down For The Count."
It was a close call though, with Little Man in a Canoe beating Ring Toss by only ONE percent of your votes in the semi-finals. Down For The Count, on the other hand, earned 85% of your votes over the Bush Flasher. (Note: That's a sentence I never thought I'd say.)
You have until Monday to vote, and you're able to do so once every two hours.
And in case you missed it, here's how our tourny works:
For four days, The Frisky will share two polls a day, where you'll be able to vote for the most WTF?! Halloween Costume (also known as Halloween Costumes Least Likely To Get You Laid).
There will be 7 face-offs:
5) Semi-Finals Round 1 (October 24)
6) Semi-Finals Round 2 (October 24)
7) Final Duel (October 25)
Voting for the final duel will remain open through the weekend of October 26-27, and the winner of the WTF?! Halloween Costume Battle will be announced on Monday, October 28.
What are you waiting for? VOTE!

Choosing a Facility
When your doctor recommends medical rehabilitation, you are faced with an important question: Where will I go?
You want to find the program that best meets the needs of you and your family. There is a lot to consider, so take some time to visit the rehabilitation providers in your area and ask a lot of questions. Be sure to take notes so you can conduct a thorough comparison once you have all the information.
Before you visit, find out if your health insurance plan requires you to use a particular rehabilitation provider in order to receive coverage and how much of the cost will be covered. If you will be paying a significant portion of your bill, discuss this with the provider.
Here are just some of the questions you may want to ask when evaluating medical rehabilitation facilities and programs:
• Ask about your particular injury or condition, how it will be treated, and how often they treat people with similar needs.
• What outcome have others in my situation experienced after rehabilitation at this facility, and what is the average length of stay?
• Will I have therapy every day? What types of therapy, and how long will each session last?
• Is there a physiatrist on site 24 hours a day?
• Where is it located? Is it convenient for family to visit me during my stay? Are there accommodations nearby for family who need to stay overnight?
• Is individual or family counseling available?
• What is their mission statement and code of ethics?
• Is there patient and family education and support available?
• What are the staff's credentials?
• Is the facility accredited by The Joint Commission and the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF)?
• What type of discharge planning and assistance is provided?
• What is the facility's patient satisfaction rating?

Thank you for supporting the 17th Annual Annie Ryan Run!
Annie Marie Ryan was born August 10, 1984, the youngest of our six children. For twelve and a half wonderful years we were blessed with her presence. She was a feisty child, full of life and love, with a smile that could light up a room! We lost Annie to a brain tumor in January of 1997. As a family, we came to the realization that the only way we could really heal was to try to help other children.
On June 5, 2016, we will proudly partner with Catholic Charities again to host the 17th Annual Annie Ryan Run benefiting Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago's Children's Programs. We do it in memory of a little girl who left us too soon but whose spirit and smile will always be with us.

|The Faith Endorsements
"This book reads like a novel and packs the wallop of a sledgehammer. I think it is quite possibly the most important book Chuck has ever written."
Bill Hybels
Senior Pastor, Willow Creek Community Church
"The book indeed works as both catechesis and as apologetic, a strong defense for traditional faith without sounding overly defensive. The Faith is more a celebration of orthodoxy than a circling of the theological wagons. Its primary message is that Christianity is true, Christianity is good, and Christianity is beneficial for the world. Its primary method is to do so by explaining what Christianity is."
Trevin Wax
Christianity Today Review
"True, biblical Christianity is often mischaracterized by the media, misused by politicians, and mistaught by academics, making it misunderstood by most Americans. That's why everyone will benefit from reading this book—whether you are a skeptic, a seeker, a new believer, or alongtime follower of Christ. The combination of Chuck Colson's thoughtful brilliance and Harold Fickett's engaging prose gives us a clear, concise, and compelling summary of what followers of Jesus actually believe."
Dr. Rick Warren
The Purpose Driven Life, Saddleback Church
"The Faith will no doubt become a classic like Loving God. This masterful work will no doubt be used, and should be used, by every evangelical church, pastor, and believer in America. It succinctly speaks the truth about the basics of our faith and how that faith can be described, believed, and shared with a world in desperate need. As a masterful storyteller who interweaves powerful, hard-hitting truths, Chuck Colson has truly done a wonder job. I commend it without hesitation and will be asking all those within my sphere of influence to read this powerful book."
Frank S. Page
President, Southern Baptist Convention
"In an age of muddled thinking about what Christianity is about, Chuck's new book clears the air, sets straight the facts, and invigorates the mind and soul, reminding us all of the historical and timeless truths of our faith!"
Joni Eareckson Tada

Our visual identity
'The transformation of the Centre's image in the past ten years from labyrinthine arts mall to edgy concrete cultural quarter is arguably as much to do with the centre's visual identity, as applied in print and online, as it is to do with its bold cultural reprogramming and physical refurbishments. Few cultural brands have come as far in that time as the Barbican.' Michael Evamy, Creative Review
Arts without boundaries
This is our guiding principle that defines our brand and drives our activities. It is what makes the Barbican distinctive from other arts organisations and it is the starting point for all our visual communications. With North, we have evolved our brand to capture the dynamism and energy of our arts and learning programming, and to create a fresh new visual language that's instantly recognisable as the Barbican.
Limited edition book
A book of the Barbican's visual identity is available to purchase for £20 from the Barbican Shop or £26 (inc P&P) online
Sold out
Free visual identity PDF (11mb)
Any further questions?
The Barbican likes questions. If you've got one about our design assets or if you'd like digital examples of the Barbican identity in use, please contact the design team: email@example.com

Driving the car aggressively is the beauty of owning such a magnificent car and if I have to hear a whirring/humming noise every time I do so then I'm going to be really upset (damn the driver who hit my baby!!).
I checked the ball-bearings and that's not the case. The BMW service guy said that this is normal with BMW cars but I personally think he's an idiot. I have had the car for over a year (purchased brand new) before the accident and there was no such sound. I do believe the accident caused it but I don't know what it could be.
Can anyone give me suggestions? You guys are such an amazing community, please help me get my beautiful car back to the pristine condition in which it was before the crash.
to body shop that did repair.

Coming soon: a faster, easier New Application workflow
UPDATE: The New Application workflow has been rolled out for all AppCloud customers. You can read more about it in the follow up post from Andrew Collins.
In AppCloud, when you select the Create New Environment button, you begin a long journey of actions to get your instance up and running. As of today, those actions look like this:
In this workflow, you first create your environment, then add a new or existing application to that environment. Then you can optionally configure your gems. Finally, to configure and boot an instance from the dashboard, you hit the "boot instances" button in your environment.
AppCloud also features a Quick Start workflow which is what you first see if you don't have any applications or environments yet. That workflow looks like this:
In this workflow, you provide your application information (like your git repository URI) first, followed by your environment details. Next, you can configure your gems if necessary, and you can also optionally add an SSH key. You then go straight to the configure & boot instances page (instead of going there through the boot instances button on the dashboard).
We are currently working on a major user experience improvement to AppCloud which will both unify the two workflows and simplify the process. Soon, the AppCloud experience for creating a new application and environment will look like this:
Instead of having both a New Environment workflow and a Quick Start workflow, we will only have one unified workflow. This workflow will feel a lot like Quick Start, because you will enter your application information first before adding a new or choosing an existing environment. You will also be able to automatically configure and boot your instances instead of going there from the dashboard.
We will also be removing steps that are not necessary for this workflow (like adding your SSH key and configuring gems). You will still be able to add your SSH key on the SSH Public Keys page, and you will still be able to configure your gems by clicking on the gems icon in the Applications tab of your environment.
We also will be removing the "Add Application" link from the Applications tab of your environment to avoid any confusion. You will be able add applications to existing environments from the Applications page, or when creating a new application.
This update will happen very, very soon, and we wanted to give you the heads up so you know what's coming. We have many more exciting improvements planned out but this next phase has us pretty excited. We think it's going to be a better, more efficient process. As always, we love your feedback so let us know your thoughts!
UPDATE: The New Application workflow has been rolled out for all AppCloud customers. You can read more about it in the follow up post from Andrew Collins.

About Me
As these pics demonstrate, I am of the human species. I'm just trying to get somewhere in life. It would be nice to have people think that I might be something meaningful to look at. I am easy to get along with and willing to go the distance for a great shot. I wish a picture could capture the beauty I feel and not the beauty that others perceive. I'd like to thank the photographers I have worked with, special thanks to Musclehead Graphics and the Model Factory. For those interested, send me a message and I'll get back to you. Nudity is excluded on my part, but if the photographer wants to be nude... well... Thanks! Follow me on Twitter as OliClay1
