William, would you please add the following bio to memorial: 97638177, Ellis Greer:
JACKSONVILLE - Ellis Greer, 93, of Jacksonville, died June 26, 2010, at home.
He was predeceased by his wife of 63 years, Virginia Jewell Marshall Greer;
by daughter, Jewell Raye Greer Hackett; and daughter-in-law, Peggy Ruth Todd Greer.
Surviving are brother Larry G. Greer of Narrows, Va.; three sons, Allen K. Hale
and wife Margaret of Hanover, Pa., Stephen E. Greer Sr. of Jacksonville and Robert
M. Greer and wife Ciscelia of Garner; son-in-law, Jim Hackett of Jacksonville; 10
grandchildren, Ed Hale and wife Janice of Zebulon, Lisa Hale of Virginia, Jennifer
Ball and husband Michael of Virginia, Summer L. Greer of Raleigh, Jason B. Greer
and wife Amanda of Garner, Elizabeth Pace Britt and husband Lee, Virginia Pace
Gardner, Robert E. Pace and wife Heather, Stephen E. Greer Jr. and Amanda Greer,
all of Jacksonville; 15 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild.
Ellis was born in Davy, W.Va., on March 19, 1917, the first of eight children, to
Robert Millard and Zella Duncan Greer. Following graduation from high school he
worked as a coal miner for a time prior to enlisting in the U.S. Marine Corps.
He served in the Pacific throughout the World War II and was a survivor of the
Dec. 7, 1941, attack at Pearl Harbor. He saw action in New Guinea and the Solomon
Islands, and attained the rank of gunnery sergeant prior to honorable discharge from
the Marines after the war. Following military service, he remained aboard Camp Lejeune
as a federal government employee for many years prior to retiring as supervisor of
preservation and packing.
Ellis remained active in his retirement years, was devoted to his family and especially
loved spending time with his grandchildren. He was an avid reader and relished lively
discussions on any topic. He also enjoyed outdoor activities throughout his life,
including hunting and fishing, coaching youth league baseball and in later years
spent much time gardening. He loved family gatherings at vacation time and holidays,
and especially delighted in preparing feasts for family and friends with home baked
cornbread and fresh vegetables from his garden.
A loving and devoted husband and father, Ellis will be remembered for his steadfast
willingness to help others and for the joy he brought to his family and all who knew him.
Memorial services will be held at 10 a.m. Tuesday, July 13, 2010, at Coastal Carolina
State Veterans Cemetery in Jacksonville. Arrangements are by Jones Funeral Home. In
lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the American Heart Association or to the charity

Thank you so much for taking the picture of Charles Bryan Hatcher's memorial headstone.
CB meant the world to me, he was like a brother to me and I have been trying to locate him for several years, it hurt me deeply to find out he had died on July 24, 2016.
I greatly appreciate your taking time to photograph his memorial and getting a picture for me.

Too many children, too little money; add a pay claim, and child care looms as a hot election issue. Annabel Crabb and Carol Nader report.
Little Sam doesn't want to wash his hands. He sits stubbornly in his chair, refusing to move. His carer, Sarah Begg, pleads with him to make the journey to the sink, but he won't budge. Finally, she lifts the child and does the job herself.
It's lunchtime at East Melbourne Child Care when Sam, 2, joins eight other babies and toddlers, munching on fried rice. Their clothes, the table and the floor also get a feed. When dessert is served things get even messier - yoghurt is smeared onto little faces and hands. Jack, 18 months, drops his bowl and decorates the floor with his lunch. Melissa Le Deux, the other carer in the room, cleans the mess, while Begg wipes grubby faces, hands and clothes.
But the biggest challenge of the day hasn't yet arrived - getting the children to sleep. They wander around the play area in various states of undress while Le Deux tries to manoeuvre them into the sleep room. Half an hour later, they're still awake. This is just one hour in a child-care worker's average day. Le Deux, 33, has been dealing with these relentless needs for more than 10 years. She is fully qualified, but takes home just over $400 a week. "You do get burnout," she says. "I wouldn't want to be doing this forever. It's just a really tiring job. You have to be a special person. You definitely don't do this job for money. You have to love children."
In the grown-up world of Canberra politics, everybody loves children just now. In fact, the coming election campaign promises to be one during which no Australian child is likely to remain unkissed, thanks to the current bipartisan federal interest in work and family issues.
But any votes earned over the issue of child care will not come cheaply. Workers such as Begg and Le Deux expect a large pay rise this year, driven by an ACTU push for a better deal in a sector widely acknowledged to be underpaid. Higher salaries, the Federal Government's own experts say, will help the industry attract and keep good workers, which will also help solve the other problem with child care: ballooning waiting lists. But the proposed rises, of up to 30 per cent, would also increase child-care fees.
For the two major parties, there are two major questions: who is going to be left holding the babies, and who is going to pick up the tab?
The issue was highlighted this week when The Age reported that a Government-commissioned think tank had called for the Government to increase spending on child care to cover pay rises for workers. The report says workers are often poorly trained and lack basic communication and literacy skills.
Children and Youth Affairs Minister Larry Anthony, however, said parents would have to shoulder the burden of any pay rise; he argued that people who were prepared to pay $70 an hour for a plumber should not baulk at a few dollars an hour for professionals to look after their children.
Opposition Leader Mark Latham has already signalled that he is marking such issues out as his. A 42-year-old father of two toddlers, he has begun a deliberate pitch on early childhood education and care in the hope his "new-generation" pizazz will appeal to other parents of young children. His first five questions to the Government, in his first question time, were about children's issues. Prime Minister John Howard has described the struggle to balance work and family as a "barbecue-stopper", but he has yet to offer much in the way of family-friendly policies. Take-up of the baby bonus has not been overwhelming, and Pru Goward's maternity leave proposal is still rattling around inside the Prime Minister's department.
All that is likely to change this year. After a May budget charged with tax cuts, Howard is expected to hit the campaign trail with a fistful of dollars for new parents in the form of a flexible package offering the options of paid maternity leave, extra help with child care or a lump sum of up to $5000 for new parents.
Meanwhile, though, child-care services are about to need a whole lot more money - from someone.
While the shortage of child-care workers continues, demand is booming: in just two years (2000-02), the number of Australian children using child care increased from 642,000 to more than 750,000, an increase of nearly 20 per cent.
Demand for the traditional "long day care" - creches or family day care for pre-schoolers - is climbing steadily, but it is newer forms of care, particularly after-school care, that are really snowballing. Between 2000 and 2002, there was a 40 per cent increase in after-school-care services for children who would otherwise be "latchkey kids".
Over those two years, the number of children in after-school care leapt from 125,000 to 175,000, and a further 30,000 are still queueing for a place.
"Over the last few years, demand has grown dramatically," says Anthony.
"I suppose people's priorities change, and family structures today are very different from the way they were 20 years ago when there might have been one partner at home, or grandparents living close by. You have more single parents, too - a lot of them are working and need some care for their children during the day."
The Howard Government has long been accused by its critics of undermining child care. In 1996, the incoming Coalition dropped direct subsidies to publicly run community child-care centres. Instead, the Government resolved to pay the subsidy almost exclusively to parents.
The aim was a classical Liberal one; to get government out of service provision and allow the private sector to move in competitively to improve efficiency.
With the subsidy attached to the child, rather than the centre, parents could use Government money to offset their bills, regardless of whether the child-care centre was publicly or privately operated. Since then, the number of child-care services operating in Australia has grown by 2000; there are now about 4000 long-day-care centres. Parents can also use the cheaper Family Day Care, where up to 10 children go to the home of a carer.
Labor likes to say that the Government has "ripped millions" out of child-care funding. Actually, after initial cuts in 1997, spending has increased strongly and is now at about $1.6 billion, compared with just over $1 billion, which was the spending level at the end of the Keating era.
But Labor's child-care spokeswoman, Jacinta Collins, says the increased overall spending is because of the massive increase in demand, and the crucial figure to look at is the expenditure per child. Since 1996, average Commonwealth spending per place dipped from about $3700 a year to a low of $2700 in 1999, and has since recovered to about $3300.
Anthony, for his part, is currently formulating a budget submission outlining changes to the child-care system; he is anxious for more spending but has faced strong opposition from cabinet's fiscal conservatives, Treasurer Peter Costello and Finance Minister Nick Minchin.
It came as something of a surprise last month when Anthony won $80 million in extra funding for outside-school-hours care and family day care; according to cabinet insiders, Howard was Anthony's saving grace here, telling cabinet on December 1 that he believed the Government had to do something to cut waiting lists.
Latham was elected leader of the ALP the next day. Labor's challenge will be to eliminate waiting lists, currently more than 15,000 for after-school care, even after last month's announcement.
Collins says the number waiting for long day care is also in the thousands. Some centres even charge families to join waiting lists; each centre contacted by The Age this week had more than 100 families on their list, with a wait of up to two years.
There is pressure not only to increase the number of places available, but to raise the quality of care. A co-director of the research directions project for the Australian Research Alliance for Children and Youth, Ross Homel, argues that children in Scandinavian countries, which have higher quality services for children, perform better in literacy than children in Australia or the United States.
The director of the Royal Children's Hospital's Centre for Community Child Health, Frank Oberklaid, says problems such as crime, obesity, mental health issues, welfare dependency and aggressive behaviour often have their roots much earlier in life. "When governments say to the Australian population that we can't afford to invest any more in child care, my retort is can we afford any more not to?"
ACTU president Sharan Burrow, who is behind the wage push for child-care workers, also points to the Scandinavian comparison: "Australia's Government pays $1.6 billion towards child care, or just over 1 per cent of GDP. This is compared to $8 billion in Denmark - 2.6 per cent of GDP."
Says Oberklaid: "You can earn a lot more at Melbourne Airport putting suitcases on carousels than you can in child care. I suspect you can earn more in the supermarket checkout aisles."
Carolyn Bulkeley is the director of the Pennell Child Care Centre, run by the Uniting Church in Brighton. She has almost 20 years' experience, but earns less than the daughter of a friend, who gets $25 an hour for a Saturday job packing confectionery. One member of her staff has worked at the centre for 10 years and received a pay rise of $1.20 an hour in that time.
Last year, child-care workers employed by Victorian councils won a wage rise of 30 per cent, adding up to $150 a week to salaries. This year, a rash of parity cases is planned to spread that pay rise nationally; privately employed Victorian workers will appear before the Industrial Relations Commission in March teamed with ACT workers, followed by cases brought by NSW and Queensland workers.
According to Burrow, costs as a result of the pay rises could increase by 30 per cent. She, parents' groups and the child-care industry, will place political pressure on the Federal Government to increase the subsidy so parents don't face bigger out-of-pocket expenses.
This is what the child-care think tank recommended, too.
But Anthony and the Government are loath to give in; Child Care Benefit already covers 70 per cent of a low-income family's child-care bills, says Anthony and, besides, it's only one family in four that regularly uses child care.
"At the moment, the average gap for full-time child care is around $100 per week - that is what parents on average would pay after CCB," says Anthony. "This is around $2-$3 per hour. I don't think that is unreasonable or even to pay a little bit more."
Kate Kirner, who runs the community-based Williamstown Child Care Centre, estimates the cost to families after a pay rise for workers could be as much as $177 a week. "There are families who will afford that, but if you have two to three children, you don't have a hope," says Kirner, daughter of former Labor premier Joan Kirner.
"Exploiting child-care workers is the only way to maintain affordability, and we have to stop doing that. Families can't pay for a pay increase ... and (low pay is) the main reason why child-care workers are leaving in droves. "
Research from the Australian Institute of Family Studies has found that the turnover rate for child-care workers is 30 per cent. "That is too high," says the institute's principal research fellow in children and parenting, Sarah Wise.
"What it does is expose these children to considerable discontinuity of care."
Some parents, such as Bianca and Enzo Palillo, have almost been forced to give up on outside child-care services. When they had their first baby, Massimo, now two, they were told they had to wait almost a year for a child-care placement. In the end, they paid $15 an hour to hire a nanny. This continued for several months before they got a place.
When they discovered they were having a second child, Matteo, now five weeks old, they wasted no time. "I put him on the waiting list the day I found out I was pregnant, to avoid the same dilemma that I went through last time," Bianca says. "I was desperate."
Larry Anthony's maths don't work for the Palillo family. Bianca already pays $500 a month for three days of care a week and isn't thrilled at the prospect of paying more.
"How is someone supposed to return to work, pay that sort of money and earn a wage?" she says. "You're not making ends meet. It doesn't seem worthwhile."
For her, the issue could be a vote swinger. "I will probably put more thought into what each party is doing about this before I vote," she says.

Subject: [htdig] Introductory questions
From: Gary Day (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Date: Thu Mar 16 2000 - 11:25:15 PST
I almost never join a list and immediately send a question without first
listening in a bit but I need some information.
I've installed htdig on a RedHat 6.0 Linux server. Everything runs just
dandy (one of the simplest compiles and installs I've ever done).
I've read the docs.
1. In your experience, how scalable is htdig? I'm just using it to
prototype a "community" search engine now so it will be fine for now, but
will it scale to 5000 sites if I have the disk space? So far, it looks
like it should but the digging time may be a while.
2. It looks like it is clearly possible to just reindex one site without
all the rest. Is that correct? Currently when I do it, no matter what is
in my config file, it at least confirms all the existing sites/urls as
well as the one in the config file.
Thanks. I hope these aren't questions you've just answered yesterday. If
so, I'm sorry.

|When you eat this, you will either increase Speed, Guts, Vitality, IQ, or Luck.
Rock candy is an item found in EarthBound and its rerelease in Mother 1+2. Its description reads "When you eat this, it will increase either Speed, Guts, Vitality, IQ, or Luck."
- There is a glitch in EarthBound (removed in Mother 1+2) where the Rock candy can be used multiple times. To do so, one of Ness' party has to have at least one condiment, and a Rock candy in the last spot in their inventory. Entering a battle and using the Rock candy on anyone results in the Rock candy remaining and only the condiment being used. Both Sugar and a Jar of Delisauce double the regular effect and are therefore the best to use in the glitch. However, this glitch can fail; adding anything to a statistic of 255 results in it being reset down to zero, and odd effects have been noted with having an HP or PP stat increase past 999.
- The best way to get incredible stats is to have one use the Rock candy multiple times in battle. The more Sugar Packets, the better the stats. This trick works especially well before a level-up. It is also possible to set up more than one Rock candy to gain more stats in a single level-up.
- Named after the Rock candy item, some fans of the Mother series made six albums of music as a tribute to the series. Their music can be found here.

As fast as 2009 went - and I think it went faster than any year I can remember - it was truly an amazing year PACKED with amazing experiences that we will never forget. And since we failed to share these experiences with you on here as they happened - I (Timmy) thought I'd try to sum up the highlights with a few pictures as well.
I would say the first really exciting experience of 2009 came in March with our very first century bike ride (100 miles) in Solvang, CA. We spent the first two months of the year training for this. Since we moved to California (over two years ago already) - cycling has become a real passion for us. So to bike 100 miles at one time was really something.
April brought one of the highlights of my entire year in the booking of my very first commercial. It was a commercial for a new roller coaster at Universal Orlando called the Hollywood Rip Ride and Rocket. I played the part of rock 'n roller Syd Vinyl - a washed up 80's has-been who Orlando called up to promote the new ride. It really was an amazing experience and a huge encouragement for me that I #1 actually booked something and #2 - that it wasn't just an ordinary commercial - but an opportunity to put a lot of my comedy and other gifts to use! While that was the only onscreen commercial I booked last year, 2009 also brought a ton of direction for me as far as my voiceover pursuits go. I was able to book some smaller jobs and begin working with some agents. I have high hopes that 2010 will bring even more exciting year and bring more clarity and direction in the comedy/acting front.
May brought Debbie's sister Katie's wedding. It was so wonderful to fly home for a week and be part of such a wonderful celebration. Debbie was Katie's maid of honor and she did a great job being...honorable??
We had an amazing summer filled with bike riding, hiking and a trip to Cape Hatteras with my family. In August we took a hugely anticipated trip to the Grand Canyon - where we hiked down and camped on the Havasupai indian Reservation with our good friends the Widemans and Whites. There we hiked, played, relaxed, and swam in the amazing Havasupai river and it's waterfalls. It was one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.
The highlight of our Autumn came in October when we flew home for Messiah College's 100 year anniversary homecoming - where I performed a standup comedy set in front 800 people. I was well received (phewww) and it was so great, once again, to be home and see family.
And probably the highlight of 2009 - was our amazing and epic 3 week adventure through Australia in December (see earlier postings).
Debbie had a great year in nursing. She's still working hard on the Oncology unit at Huntington Hospital and she's already completed a year and a half of her online grad program at Cal State! Half way done! This year will bring more studying for her and next fall, she will begin the final leg of her degree with clinical rotations. It will be challenging - but she will continue to thrive!
2009 was a wonderful year indeed filled with wonderful experiences and deepening relationships. In fact - this blog would have become a blook if I had filled it with every highlight of this year. We truly look back with hearts running over with thanksgiving and we look forward to 2010 with anticipation and hope. There still remains many question marks and much uncertainty as far as where our path is going. But we continue to trust God through it all. We wish you all a Happy New year. And we'll do our best to keep you in the loop as we move forward!

That is super cute. Sunflowers are so sunny and happy. We planted a bunch one year, waited for them, watched them raise up,.....and then face the other way - snubbing us. It didn't occur to us when we planted them that of course they're going to face the sun. D'oh. lol

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 10.2019 Tuesday, 16 November 1999.
Date: Wednesday, 17 Nov 1999 11:37:48 -0000
Subject: Re: Burgundy and France
Comment: SHK 10.1954 Re: Burgundy and France
I am grateful for the helpful messages in response to mine about
Burgundy and France, which have made me think harder about the QF
reading. It seems courteous to ask the editor's indulgence for a fairly
thorough reply, and I apologise for the length of this message.
The idea that 'Gonoril's "further compliment of leave-taking" may be
ironic, in that she means that the two kings are offstage raging at each
other' (Bill Godshalk) seems to me to be tenable but unlikely. This is
of course a subjective response which can neither be proven nor refuted.
The view expressed by Brother Antony and others that 'Lear is not
'complimenting France', . . . he is performing the formal ceremony of
leave-taking which is due to one king visiting another' is also tenable
but difficult to reconcile with Gloucester's words 'France in choler
parted.' Brother Antony suggests that 'The modern sense of "paying some
one a compliment" is hardly attested so early', but my interpretation
does not require this sense, and is quite consonant with the definitions
given in OED which he quotes - 'Observance of ceremony in social
relations; ceremoniousness; formal civility; politeness or courtesy'. A
quotation kindly supplied by Alan Dessen is helpful: "The King and Queen
with Courtly Compliments salute and part" (Noble Spanish Soldier, 1.1.0)
Even if (as has been privately suggested), the alternative spelling
'complement', meaning 'That which completes or makes perfect', were to
be adopted, this would still be incompatible with France's 'choler.'
The idea that Lear would have been formally courteous to the King of
France but would not have felt the need to extend equal courtesies to
the Duke of Burgundy is interesting (even though Burgundy was a very
considerable power) but hard to reconcile with Lear's parting words:
Thou hast her, France. Let he be thine, for we
Have no such daughter, nor shall ever see
That face of hers again. Therefore be gone,
Without our grace, our love, our benison. -
Come, noble Burgundy.
'Therefore . . . benison' could, of course be addressed simply to
Cordelia; but equally could be addressed to the pair, which would help
to explain France's 'choler.' Lear's conspicuous courtesy to Burgundy on
their exit together surely indicates that he is (rudely) ignoring the
French King at this point: 'Come, noble Burgundy' seems to me to be
Shakespeare's ironical way of pointing Lear's inversion of true
Brother Antony further remarks that 'the line is odd since it comes in
the middle of Goneril and Reagan's [sic] complaints about their father,
they having remained on stage after France and Cordelia have left; Lear
and Burgundy left together some time earlier and would have said goodbye
at once. In modern productions, Goneril has to look into the wings as if
she can see something happening offstage but Shakespeare's theatre had
no wings...?' This seems to me to be treating the play too
realistically; even in those terms, Burgundy would have needed time to
pack. Also realistically, Goneril's remark could be prompted by offstage
sounds. (The lines have been cut in most post-War RSC productions.)
Simon Morris's suggestion that Lear doesn't really mean what he says to
Cordelia (and possibly to France) seems to me to be a theatrically
unviable over-interpretation.
Tom Bishop remarks that 'A change to a reference to Burgundy diverts the
main current of the sisters' concern, which is with the dangers Lear's
instability continues to pose for their new- gained political clout'. I
see no irrelevance in Goneril's referring to Burgundy at this point.
Following on from Regan's mention of 'Kent's banishment' it reinforces
the emphasis on Lear's faulty judgement.
Overall, I am still not convinced that Shakespeare meant what he
probably wrote. This raises the difficult philosophical question of
whether editors should correct what their authors wrote. Mine often do,
and I am grateful (when they are right) - if I were editing Brother
Antony's note for publication, I should alter 'Reagan' to 'Regan.' But
of course Shakespeare is not in a position to tell me I am wrong. Tony
Burton's proposal that I should simply raise the matter in a note while
following the original text seems to me an evasion of editorial
responsibility. It seems proper to me that editors should have the
courage of their convictions, refusing the soft option of evading the
obloquy of their colleagues by ducking into the trenches of the
commentary whenever danger looms. This is why the Oxford edition, of
which I (along with Gary Taylor) am General Editor) differs at many
points, for better or for worse, from other editions. Editions are
verbal constructs like any other, and are rapidly superseded. The early
texts contain many manifest errors, the quarto of 'King Lear' more than
most. They also contain false starts - anyone seriously interested in
the matter of Innogen in 'Much Ado About Nothing' would do well to read
the unedited first quarto rather than relying on edited texts before
expressing views about it. It is an editor's job to correct error to the
best of his ability. That is what I am trying to do.

Manufactured nanomaterials (MNs) are commonly considered to be commercial products possessing at least one dimension in the size range of 10−9 m to 10−7 m. As particles in this size range represent the smaller fraction of colloidal particles characterized by dimensions of 10−9 m to 10−6 m, they differ from both molecular species and bulk particulate matter in the sense that they are unlikely to exhibit significant settling under normal gravitational conditions and they are also likely to exhibit significantly diminished diffusivities (when compared to truly dissolved species) in environmental media. As air/water, air/soil, and water/soil intermedium transport is governed by diffusive processes in the absence of significant gravitational and inertial impaction processes in environmental systems, models of MN environmental intermedium transport behavior will likely require an emphasis on kinetic approaches. This review focuses on the likely environmental fate and transport of MNs in atmospheric and aquatic systems. Should significant atmospheric MNs emission occur, previous observations suggest that MNs may likely exhibit an atmospheric residence time of ten to twenty days. Moreover, while atmospheric MN aggregates in a size range of 10−7 m to 10−6 m will likely be most mobile, they are least likely to deposit in the human respiratory system. An examination of various procedures including the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory of colloidal particle suspension stability in water indicates that more sophisticated approaches may be necessary in order to develop aquatic exposure models of acceptable uncertainty. In addition, concepts such as Critical Coagulation Concentrations and Critical Zeta Potentials may prove to be quite useful in environmental aquatic exposure assessments.
Manufactured nanomaterials (MNs) may be defined as a class of commercial products that possess at least one dimension in the size range of 1 nm to 100 nm. In recognition of the fact that particulate matter with these dimensions may display unique and valuable properties, the United States federal government promulgated the 2001 National Nanotechnology Initiative [
With the introduction of any new commercial product, new procedures for assessing the potential environmental safety and health issues are sometimes necessary. In contrast to chemicals, insoluble MNs may possess properties that limit the applicability of existing physical/chemical characterization procedures that are designed to assess the risks associated with their environmental dispersal [
One to 100 nm particles represent the smaller size fraction of traditional colloidal particles (colloids can be defined as particles in the 1 nm to 1 μm size range). In turn, colloidal particles differ from more traditional (larger) bulk materials in two areas: colloidal particles are too small to exhibit significant settling under normal gravitational conditions, and colloids are too large to display significant diffusive properties [
Environmental exposures are traditionally apportioned into the following possible pathways: inhalation (atmospheric, gaseous and aerosol), dermal (aqueous, atmospheric and soil), and gastrointestinal (food, water and possibly soil). Therefore, in order to assess the possibility of unacceptable environmental or human health adverse effects, one must be in a position to estimate potential exposures through an understanding of the potential fate, transport and persistence of MNs in environmental media; subsequently, one may compare these potential exposures with toxicological guidelines. At present neither toxicological guidelines for MNs nor mature models for assessing potential MN exposures are available [
Although the regulatory community focuses largely on MNs, an understanding of the reported environmental behavior of other suspended matter may lend insights into the likely environmental behavior of MNs. For example, estimated atmospheric residence times for reactive and unreactive gases range from 107 years (e.g., He) to 10−2 years (Rn, H2O) [
* Burton and Stewart [
* Francis
* Sipin
These observations suggest that should a significant atmospheric MN emission occur, rapid aggregation may ensue and atmospheric residence times of 10 to 20 days may be typical. Particle deposition presumably occurs through both wet and dry deposition processes, although Lerman [
Modeling the transport of colloidal material in aquatic systems may be more problematic. The literature suggests that colloids may be more mobile in ground waters at ionic strengths less than 0.001 M [
Another issue is whether or not the environmental introduction of MNs may lead to the formation of stable aquatic colloidal suspensions. For example, Zhang
The transport of MNs associated with natural soils/sediments is a potentially significant environmental transport (and exposure) mechanism. However, as with our understanding of MN toxicological and environmental fate properties, developing procedures to understand those phenomena leading to MN solid/water partitioning is extremely challenging. For example, the filtration of water column samples may well composite suspended particulate matter that is not necessarily associated in the natural state. In addition, as will be demonstrated, MNs are likely to display relatively slow kinetics with respect to adsorption onto environmental solid phases (when compared to truly dissolved species); hence only systems of prolonged duration may begin to exhibit solid/water partitioning phenomena that are customarily attributed to thermodynamic equilibrium processes. Lastly, there are well recognized experimental difficulties associated with measuring those quantities of MNs associated with soils, sediments and sewage sludges and this represents yet another area of active research. Once reliable procedures become available for estimating MN solid/water partition coefficients, this potential exposure pathway is perhaps more amenable to simulation via a large variety of soil/sediment transport models that are and have been under development for many decades [
Models describing the intermedium transport behavior of contaminants with an acceptable degree of uncertainty are needed to assess the overall environmental fate and transport of potentially significant commercial products. In particular, it is necessary to adequately assess the air/water [
There are a number of examples of the significant influence that their high specific surface areas exert on MN properties. Nanoparticles possess a much larger fraction of constituents on the surface when compared to corresponding, consolidated larger-grain bulk material [
In addition, the significance of interfacial tension and particle specific surface area/radius on the aqueous solubility of the material has been discussed by numerous authors. For example, Stumm and Morgan [
where log(Ksp, SSA) is the logarithm of the solubility product of a material with a specific surface area SSA, log(Ksp, SSA=0) is the logarithm of the solubility product of the bulk material, γ is the solid water interfacial tension, R is the ideal gas constant and T is the absolute temperature. The net effect is that depending on the interfacial tension, in many cases fine nanoparticles will be far more soluble than larger-sized particles of the same composition. Specifically, even if a potentially toxic bulk material is too insoluble to lead to dissolved concentrations of toxicological concern, the same cannot necessarily be said for the same material in the nanoparticulate state.
Another phenomenon associated with high specific surface areas (and very small radii) is that the pressure inside of small spherical bubbles is much higher than in the corresponding atmosphere [
where γ represents the interfacial tension. This phenomenon is responsible for the common observation that surficial ocean waters are frequently supersaturated with respect to atmospheric gases (
Lastly, the high specific surfaces areas associated with MNs will enhance any reactions dependent on the number of exposed sites. Concerns about dust explosions from finely ground coal, flour, sugar or other combustible products illustrate the significance of high specific surface areas associated with small particulate matter in commercial operations [
In quiescent fluid systems without turbulence, applications of Fick's first law relate the one dimensional transport (flux) of a diffusing compound (F; in units of g/m2s) to an observed concentration gradient (dC/dz; in units of g/[cm3cm]) via a diffusivity coefficient D:
with this notation,
Therefore, atmospheric diffusivity estimates for buckminsterfullerene (C60) particles are listed in
Although bulk transport is typically dominated by turbulence in most atmospheric and aquatic systems, the issue of air/surface intermedium exchange is more complex. For example, a number of authors [
The rightmost portion of the curve in
The descending portion of the curve on the left side of
If one has paired experimental measurements of the deposition flux [F; g/(cm2s)] and the concentration gradient dC (where dC = g/cm3 atm–g/cm3 srf) or the diffusivity and the thin stagnant layer thickness, one can estimate a deposition velocity (vd) in units of cm/s (e.g., [
The leftmost portion of the curve in
In the case of air/water deposition, a situation may arise whereby one may have turbulent mixing in both the overlying atmospheric air mass and the underlying water body. In this situation, two thin, diffusive layers may limit intermedium exchange [
Traditional fate and transport modelers generally rely on partition coefficients (Kds; where Kd = Csolid/Cwater) to simulate potential toxicant transport and biological exposures in natural waters. For nonpolar uncharged chemicals, it is frequently assumed that partitioning occurs through binding with natural organic matter (NOM) and the associated organic carbon partition coefficients (Kocs) can be related to experimentally measured octanol-water partition coefficients (Kows) with a variety of regression relationships [
The fundamental theoretical interpretation of a partition coefficient (Kd) is that equilibrium partitioning occurs: (1) when the chemical potential of the species of interest is the same in both phases; and/or (2) when forward and backward rates of intermedium exchange are equal. As the rate for attaining equilibrium is diffusion limited, the 4 to 13 day equilibration period reported by Jafvert and Kulkarni [
Given the limitations of equilibrium partitioning theory for larger MNs in water, classical colloid chemistry may address the issue of colloidal suspension stability with the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory (developed in the 1940s [
Traditional DLVO theory can be extended through either the adoption of additional non-DLVO energies and/or describing the interaction between particles and dissimilar (environmental) surfaces. Extending DLVO theory requires incorporating one or more additional parameters with their associated uncertainties. Using DLVO theory to interpret interactions between suspended particles and chemically dissimilar environmental surfaces requires knowledge of parameters that is not commonly available (and hence limits the utility of this approach). For these reasons, an approach examining the usefulness (and associated uncertainties) of traditional DLVO theory for making predictions of the likely self-aggregation behavior of colloidal suspensions is currently under investigation [
Hamaker constants are required in DLVO theory. Typically, Hamaker constants for colloidal particles in water range from ~10−19 J (for aluminum and iron oxides) to ~10−21 J (for some biocolloids). The comparatively large Hamaker constants associated with aluminum and iron oxides help explain why solutions of alum and ferric chloride are commonly used to clarify turbid water samples. The relatively low Hamaker constants frequently observed with biocolloids explains both why biocolloids are sometimes observed in aged natural waters and why erstwhile unstable suspensions remain in aqueous suspension as the result of natural organic matter coatings that may dominate the interfacial properties of the suspended particles.
The understanding of interfacial properties as it relates to estimating zeta potentials is an active area of research. Generally speaking, zeta potentials can be estimated from electrokinetic experimental data [
If one has estimates of both Hamaker constants (from experimental data) and zeta/diffuse layer potentials (either experimentally measured or obtained from electrostatic surface complexation models) for a given colloidal suspension in water, one can make predictions as to whether or not that colloidal suspension will rapidly aggregate in natural waters. Basically, under conditions where the energies of attraction equal and counterbalance the energies of repulsion with distance from the particle surface, mathematically one can define a Critical Coagulation Concentration (CCC). The critical coagulation concentration is the minimum dissolved salt content (or ionic strength I-- I = 1/2∑cizi 2; where ci is the concentration of ions of valence zi) needed to lead to the rapid aggregation of a suspension in water. Although like-charged particles in aqueous suspension will experience electrostatic repulsion, the presence of higher dissolved salt concentrations will lead to a partial screening of these electrostatic repulsive energies when ions of opposite charge accumulate between the particles. This ionic strength sensitivity explains the observation that suspended colloidal particles in freshwater rivers may well aggregate once the river water discharges into higher ionic strength estuaries.
Three published room temperature expressions for estimating CCCs at room temperature include [
where following traditional colloid chemistry, the variables in
Fowkes [
where Ψcrit is the magnitude of the minimum interfacial (zeta) potential required to maintain a stable suspension, A121 is the Hamaker constant describing the attractive interactions between two particles of phase one in a liquid of phase two (water in this case) and 1/κ represents the ionic-strength-dependent Debye length. Fowkes developed this expression assuming that the attractive and repulsive energies counterbalanced one another when the two particles were a distance of 1/κ apart.
The possibility also exists that "ballpark" estimates may be useful for screening-level assessments of the potential mobility of MNs in natural waters. For example, Sprycha [
Using procedures developed by these authors, one can estimate a maximum zeta potential magnitude for the world average river water simulations depicted in
One to one hundred nanometer insoluble manufactured nanomaterials represent a new class of products whose toxicity, fate, transport and exposures upon dispersal into the environment are active areas of research. As the result of their small size and high specific surface areas, chemical reactivities sensitive to exposed surface sites will likely be magnified with these products.
Upon dispersal into various environmental media, atmospheric MN emissions will likely rapidly aggregate into a size range of 0.1 μm to 1 μm and display an atmospheric residence time of 10 to 20 days. In contrast to aquatic emissions, atmospheric emissions are likely amenable to existing exposure assessment algorithms designed to describe the atmospheric behavior of ultrafine particles.
Estimating potential aquatic exposures to insoluble MN suspensions is more problematic because MNs are unlikely to display equilibrium solid/water partitioning behavior within the time frames associated with many environmental transport phenomena. Various kinetic approaches to estimating potential MN immobilization in aquatic systems that incorporate underlying DLVO theory show promise with respect to theoretical consistency and explaining generally observed phenomena. However, it is likely that defensible models incorporating a kinetic-based, self-aggregation component will require validating experimental datasets before defensible exposure assessment tools can be made available.

|�Parents Matter Too� in parent-teacher conference
|Faith Huffman | News-Telegram News Editor
Nov. 9, 2005 - Generally, when someone indicates a parent teacher conference has been scheduled the session represents a teacher's difficulties with a child or the need for special services.
In short, a parent-teacher conference normally instills the same bit of stomach rumblies a child would experience upon getting sent to the principal's office for disciplinary reasons or at the least the parent-teacher session begets a bit of nervousness for news and results of the upcoming meeting.
But that is in no way the design for Region VIII Education Service Center's 2005 Parent and Teacher Conference "Proudly Serving You: Parents Matter Too!" In fact, the whole intent of the session is to better arm parents with information during 20 "fun and informative topic sessions."
The upcoming conference will be held from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19, at the Region VII Education Service Center, located at 2230 North Edwards St. in Mount Pleasant.
The free workshop begins with registration and exhibits from 8 a.m. to 8:30 a.m., and is followed from 8:30 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. with a welcome. Three break out sessions lasting 45 minutes each with a 15 minute break between begin at 9 a.m.
Topics to choose from for break out sessions will include behavior basics, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder — what you should know, Brain Gym, helping children learn, "make and take activities," Parent Power, Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills preparation, technology in the home, childhood development, and gaining insights: understanding your kids. There will also be sessions offered in Spanish for those non-English speaking parents. Among the presenters will be Sulphur Springs Independent School District Head Start staff.
Beginning at 11:45 a.m. will be the general session, which includes the free lunch from 11:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., entertainment by Sulphur Springs Gymnastic & Cheer, and the keynote speech by Jack Brown, teacher of the year, at 12:30 p.m.
Those in attendance could also win such door prizes as a Dell printer, software, DVDs and other miscellaneous items.
The workshop is free to all Sulphur Springs Independent School District parents, but in order to attend parents must register by Nov. 11.
For more information or to register, contact Natasha White at Region VIII ESC at 903-572-8551, or Rita Taylor or Della Robinson at Early Childhood Learning Center at 903-439-6170.

Parties squabble over court schedule in 'kids for cash' civil suit
A Pittsburgh investment banker worries that he may not be able to recover the money he seeks from his former business partner if a federal judge delays a hearing in a civil lawsuit related to the "kids for cash" scandal, according to federal court documents.
Gregory Zappala and several companies he controls claim that Robert Powell and others cost them millions of dollars and ruined their reputations in a kickback scheme that landed Powell and two Luzerne County judges in federal prison.
Zappala wants U.S. District Judge Joy Flowers Conti to prevent Powell from touching an estimated $150 million to $200 million in attorney fees headed Powell's way from a settlement in an unrelated environmental lawsuit.
The settlement money should be set aside to cover any damage award Zappala wins in his lawsuit, his lawyer claims. Conti has scheduled a hearing on the motion to freeze the money for Aug. 22.
Lawyers for Powell and the other respondents argue that Zappala's lawyers have filed more than 1,000 pages in the lawsuit and they need more time to respond. Because the earliest Powell could receive the settlement fees is late October, delaying the hearing to Oct. 8 wouldn't harm Zappala's interests, they say in court documents.
Zappala's response claims that Powell has received millions of dollars from the case and "seeks extra time to dissipate or hide" the fees.
Conti held a status conference Wednesday but has not ruled on the motion to delay the hearing.
Powell and Zappala co-owned the two detention facilities where judges sent juveniles in exchange for kickbacks from Powell. Zappala, the brother of Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr., was not charged in the criminal case and was dropped as a defendant in a civil case filed by hundreds of children and their families.

A lightweight "Alligator'
Published 4:00 am, Friday, January 17, 1997
AS A FIRST stab at direction by actor Kevin Spacey,
"Albino Alligator" is a workmanlike effort. It's not startling and it's not incompetent. And the script by Christian Forte is neither inspired nor shabby. The feeling you come away with is that both Spacey and Forte will do better in the future; that is, they have the talent to do good work.
Three petty thieves running from the cops after a robbery slip into a basement saloon called Dino's Last Chance Bar. The ringleader, Dova (Matt Dillon), isn't terribly bright. Neither is his tough-guy partner Law (William Fichtner). All they want to do is clean up their cohort, Milo (Gary Sinise), who has been cut up in a car accident, and blow the joint.
Before long, though, the police, led by ATF agent Joe Mantegna, surround the place, and Dova is forced to take all the bar patrons and employees hostage. Little dramas develop with waitress Janet (Faye Dunaway), owner Dino (M. Emmet Walsh) and patrons Danny (Skeet Ulrich), Jack (John Spencer) and Guy (Viggo Mortensen). Unfortunately, a great deal of this is not terribly interesting. The amateurish 360-degree camera turns don't help much either. And Spacey lets the camera linger a little too long on a poster from a tough old Bogart movie. We get the connection already.
Dillon plays what has become a staple in his repertoire, the dopey oaf. Sinise is dependable as always. Dunaway has become a chronic overacter. Mortensen, whose part is far too small, is one of the most interesting and underused actors in the movie.
Latest news videos
Speaking of underdone, there's an underdeveloped plot twist that could have been made more of by both writer and director. As it stands, none of this adds up to much.

MFL - no allowances made for verbal disability...(15 Posts)
Thank you Cop. I am sure that you, like me, have learnt (the hard way!) that heading trouble off at the pass before it becomes critical is crucial to making things easier for the kids.
Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement.
Thanks Notfluffy, Cansu and Cream for taking the time to post. really great.
Its his 13th birthday today and I cannot tell you how proud I am of him. Good little mucker all round!
madame I wish your son luck whatever he chooses.
DD1 did take the Science route but actually did 2 MFLs at GCSE and the German just helped get her the offer of an internship in Germany. Although she is doing another one, she may well try again for it next year. She has also had to write essays as most good Science courses at uni now require students to study ethics, policy etc. which came as a real shock having not studied any essay subjects since GCSE.
I think the issue is that all sorts of people with different strengths and weaknesses have SpLDs and that it should be a matter of recognising when certain things present a particular challenge rather than saying they shouldn't do them at all.
I mean choices regarding sixthform and uni, if that is appropriate.
That is very cheering Cop. I suppose its just that his school is a business one, rather than an arts one, he already has to choose to between history and geography (can't do both) then only has two options lists, one choice from both, and drama and art are on the same list! He is also set to do triple science, and will start that in September.
The school is great though. Maybe I could support his oral skills by getting him some conversation lessons (just wish he were learning French!).
If he could get a B and uni would understand the context then maybe I am worrying unnecessarily! I just want him to have choices.
madame DD2 got a B in French in spite of low oral and listening (another of her issues) marks, I think C/D borders. The rest of her marks were A*/A so I suppose it lets her down but we knew that it would, but she was determined she would have an MFL, she has lived overseas and understands the importance of languages. We too had advice from the SEN teachers to avoid languages (and essay subjects) but we took the view it is also about an education. She has taken 4 essay subjects at A level too, because that was what she really wanted to do, and she is applying to do History courses at university. As an academic I know that unis will like to see an MFL there especially for the courses she wants to apply to, and will take into account that she has achieved it in spite of her SpLDs which they will have contextual information on. She also plans to the language module that is part of the courses she wants to do at uni. Obviously it is a personal decision but there are plenty of people with SpLDs who do go on to study languages and essay subjects, indeed many prominent Historians have SpLDs, something to do with the ability to see things holistically, even if they are more of a challenge.
thank you all. The teacher was clear it was the oral that dragged his mark down...
Its frustrating because he is bright and enjoys spanish and seems to do ok with the written bits....
I'm just not sure its worth him doing an MFL if he is going to great a rubbish mark at GCSE. Apart from t he love of it of course! but he has to work so hard anyway...
I have been a fluent French speaker in my time, living and working in France and with a degree in French, so I don't want him not to have another language, but GCSE options are so rigid..to be honest I would rather he had a chance to do art or drama than do a subject he is bound to do badly in through no fault of his own.
I will have a word with the SALT in school, and she what she recommends.
Thank you all so much for your input, it really helps.
sorry, year 8! 13 tomorrow!
Do you mean he's 8 or in year 8? level 5 aged 8 is very unlikely so I assume you mean year 8. I really don't see how he can have missed out on being level 5 just because he has problems with speaking in a test. Could it be that he has struggled with the subject because he finds speaking difficult in the lesson, can't recall the words quickly enough to take part in a conversation and answer questions? If so then having extra time in tests may help but won't really solve the problem. Being able to answer questions with confidence, give longer more detailed answers and take part in role plays with several exchanges and use at least two tenses are all part of the requirements for achieving level 5 in an MFL in speaking. He needs to be doing these things in lessons to show his performance at level 5 in speaking. The nature of language learning means that having difficulty with this will have an impact on his other skills. Answering questions and using different tenses in your speaking helps you with your reading, writing and listening. I tend to find that the children who are able to engage most in the speaking activities in class make the best progress overall. I am not saying your ds can't learn an MFL but I think you need to be pragmatic about it. I am an MFL teacher who has two dc with speech and language difficulties. My dc find languages difficult. I help them as much as I can but giving them lots of extra time in tests doesn't help that much as it is the everyday learning in class that just doesn't click that easily for them.
Languages exams are more difficult to get adjustments for than other exams, because of what is being assessed.
For example, in Geography your geographical knowledge is being tested, so extra time does not impact on the ability to assess the answers against the learning outcomes. But for a language where ability to speak is being tested, adjustments can sometimes be seen to conflict in what needs to be assessed.
The JCQ set out the Guidance for all Access Arrangements.
My DC who get scribes and or extra time in all other exams, don't get any help in MFL
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
thanks cop. He already gets extra time for written exams. I found some references to allowances made for stuttering and stammering...
I just find if I get some good old MN info I am better placed when I approach the school!
DD did not get any extra time until Year 10 as schools need to build up evidence of need, so she was gradually given first 15%, then the full 25% recommended by the Ed Psych in those subjects in which it was clear she needed it, and she didn't get extra time in Science because she achieved well without it. DD1 is also Dyslexic and was diagnosed with a recommendation of 25% extra time but didn't get it until university because she was able to do well in exams without it.
DD2 is dyspraxic and also has problems with fluency and word finding but did not get extra time in French Orals or English Speaking and Listening. I am not aware of anyone that did, though their school was not the most clued up, and I was rather more concerned with the written components which count for a good deal more of the marks.
Thanks charitymum. very interesting. His receptive language is fine, its just his expressive language that is problematic. He has been assessed by SALT and has had intervention. He can express himselve pretty well just hesitant due to delay in word finding. Clearly this has impacted on his Spanish oral skills and thought surely allowances would be made for it.
Hi. Best organisation for help on this is www.afasic.org.uk.
Is this true? ds' Spanish teacher told us at consulation day that ds, 8, would have got a level 5 in spanish (actually on 3a atim) but that 25% of the overall mark was for the oral section.
Ds as verbal dyspraxia and word finding is slower for him. all his other subjects he is on level 6.
Will this hold true for gcses? I find it odd that this is not factored into the exam marking.

text: It's becoming harder to stand out from the growing pile of resumes in today's tough job market. If you're unemployed, consider learning a new skill to gain an advantage. "First, look at your strengths to see how those might cross over into other fields or careers," says Diane Brennan, an Arizona-based career consultant. "Then decide what other skills you need to succeed in that area and work on developing them." Here are five skills that might give you an advantage over other job applicants: Project management: If you're unemployed and have management experience, consider getting certified in project management. The Project Management Institute certifies people with at least three years of experience in the field or 35 hours of related education. "Project management is a major area of opportunity these days," says Steve Armstrong, senior vice president of the technical services group at Michigan-based Kelly Services ( KELYA). Certification costs between $200 and $300. Human resources: The Society for Human Resource Management offers courses on conflict resolution, recruiting and salary analysis. The trade organization also offers a certification exam that involves 24 to 36 hours of classroom instruction. Search engine optimization: Web developers rely on "search engine optimization," strategies designed to help sites rank higher in searches, to boost traffic to their pages. As more people find information through Google ( GOOG) and Yahoo ( YHOO), search engine optimization, or SEO, has become an important marketing skill. Many colleges and trade organizations offer SEO courses or workshops that cost less than $100 and take a few weeks to complete.

Strategies for Getting that Job
No Experience? No Problem
by Sacha Cohen
Monster Contributing Writer
from http://technology.monster.com/articles/noexperience/
(This article from the big Jobs website Monster.com stresses non-IQ skills. The first two points relate toAmbition, the next two relate to Social Skills.)
Be passionate.
Sure, employers are looking for qualified, skilled applicants, but they also want to know that you love what you do, that you're willing to grow as the job demands and that you have the aptitude to take on additional responsibility.
Take the initiative.
Also, if you are turned down, ask why you were not hired or interviewed. This can give you a better sense of the areas you need to work on. Perhaps your resume is not clearly reflecting your skills. Have several friends or colleagues look at your resume to get objective feedback. Also, in your cover letter, emphasize your skills and your potential, not your lack of experience.
Show your soft side.
Have you worked effectively with a team or on a group project? Don't forget to mention your specific accomplishments in an interview. Employers are just as concerned with how you'll fit into the corporate culture as they are about your understanding of Cold Fusion or Visual Basic. Leading Edge Corporation, for example, offers seminars to improve business and personal communication.
Build rapport.
For example, when I graduated from school (lo, those many years ago), I spent hours at the library researching my dream companies. Then I wrote personalized letters to several key people at those companies. A little extra effort to make a person-to-person connection will help you stand out from other applicants and push you closer to an interview.
Know the industry inside and out.
Almost everyone has had this frustrating experience at one time or another: You're a recent graduate or career changer trying to get your foot in the door, but all you keep hearing is "Sorry, you need more experience." And you think to yourself, "How the heck can I get experience if no one will hire me?"
That question, along with "What's in Spam?" and "How did Howie Mandel get his own talk show?" is one of the great mysteries of the universe.
In the IT and tech fields, this problem is all the more daunting since there are so many qualified applicants vying for jobs. But before you give up and resign yourself to a career as a coffee jerk (not that there's anything wrong with that), try the putting some of these strategies to use.

Sea Eagle Walker walks after positive cocaine test
Page Tools
Manly's dual rugby international, Andrew Walker, effectively ended his career by taking cocaine while he was "missing" from the Sea Eagles a month ago.
Walker, 30, yesterday retired after it was announced he had tested positive to the drug after the Sea Eagles game against South Sydney at North Sydney Oval on August 22.
"I'm bitterly disappointed and that's really all I've got to say," Walker said last night.
Manly chief executive Paul Cummings said the Australia league and union Test star had been absent without leave at the time and took the drug on August 20 or 21 while out with friends.
"He was missing on the Thursday and Friday before the South Sydney game," Cummings said.
Walker's return to rugby union from 2000 to 2003 featured seven Test appearances but was dogged by absenteeism.
"It's a sad situation for someone who obviously has a troubled past," National Rugby League chief executive David Gallop said yesterday.
Walker will take two weeks off with his family and receive legal advice before going before the NRL drugs tribunal "as soon as is practical". Gallop said: "This is a sad individual circumstance but also a reflection of the NRL's ongoing commitment to the most rigorous testing program in Australian sport."
The NRL said it conducted more than 500 drug tests this season.
This year, Walker scored five tries and 80 goals for a total of 180 points. He was regarded by some as unlucky to have missed out on NSW selection.
Asked to sum up the impact of the news on the Sea Eagles, Cummings said: "It's devastating. He is our prime player, he plays a pivotal position and he's our goalkicker. It's going to be a difficult thing for us to overcome."
Meanwhile, as Bulldog Braith Anasta was passed fit to take on Penrith in tonight's preliminary final, Panthers Test star Luke Lewis told teammates he will be back for the grand final if they make it. Tomorrow's Roosters-Cowboys clash will decide the other grand final place.
Rival coaches involved in tomorrow's second preliminary final have become involved in some banter, with Sydney Roosters coach Ricky Stuart saying he welcomes the omission of reserve David Faiumu from the North Queensland squad.
Faiumu arrived with 18 teammates in Sydney last night but is certain to be left out of coach Graham Murray's final squad, along with Kevin Campion.
"It suits me that he's not playing," Stuart said of the 21-year-old New Zealander. "He's quite a dangerous player, pretty versatile - I am a fan of his."

Yes, that is correct, but it's amateurs mostly, trying to research their
families, for the church activities and blessings. The LDS authorities
will and do accept all research, all names, from their own members as
well as non members. Their individual research may or may not be any
better than yours or mine. Just because it's LDS and in their database
does not make it perfect, accurate, or without errors.
