Abstract: Recharge estimation in arid and semi-arid areas is very challenging. The chloride mass balance method applied in western South Africa fails to provide reliable recharge estimates near coastal areas. A relationship between rainfall events and water level fluctuations (WLF) on a monthly basis was proposed in the rainfall infiltration breakthrough (RIB) model for the purpose of groundwater recharge estimation. In this paper, the physical meaning of parameters in the CRD and previous RIB models is clarified, and the RIB model is reviewed with the algorithm improved to accommodate various time scales, namely, daily, monthly and annual scales. Recharge estimates on a daily and monthly basis using the revised RIB approach in 2 study areas, one in a sandy alluvial aquifer (Riverlands) and the other in the Table Mountain Group (TMG) shallow unconfined aquifer (Oudebosch), are presented, followed by sensitivity analysis. Correlation analysis between rainfall and observed WLF data at daily scale and monthly scale, together with recharge estimates obtained from other methods, demonstrates that the RIB results using monthly data are more realistic than those for daily data, when using long time series. Scenarios using the data from Oudebosch with different rainfall and groundwater abstraction inputs are simulated to explore individual effects on water levels as well as recharge rate estimated on a daily basis. The sensitivity analysis showed that the recharge rate by the RIB model is specifically sensitive to the parameter of specific yield; therefore, the accurate representative specific yield of the aquifer needs to be selected with caution. The RIB model demonstrated in these two cases can be used to estimate groundwater recharge with sufficiently long time series of groundwater level and rainfall available in similar regions. In summary, the RIB model is best suited for shallow unconfined aquifers with relatively lower transmissiv - ity; the utility of the RIB model for application in different climatic areas under different hydrogeological conditions needs to be further explored.

Abstract: In rural Africa, scientific evidence is often lacking to guide the scaling-up of groundwater as the safest source of potable water. An investigation was conducted in the Upper Limphasa Catchment in northern Malawi to determine the safety of groundwater sources and to explore factors influencing water quality. Water samples from 17 boreholes, 6 hand-dug wells and 90 households were analysed for selected parameters. Portable incubators, multi-parameter probe and colorimetric standard methods were used for field measurements, and standard methods were used for laboratory water analysis. Results were compared to specified guidelines of the World Health Organization and Malawi Bureau of Standards to establish the potability of water. Statistical results using non-parametric t-tests indicated that the wells were more contaminated with E. coli bacteria than boreholes (p=6.2x10-6), suggesting non-consideration of local hydrogeologic factors in groundwater development. Water from boreholes that tested negative for pathogens at source tested positive at some households (total coliform: p=0.0042 and E. coli p=7.8x10-7) suggesting the effect of handling practices. Water from wells that was not treated with chlorine showed higher levels of E. coli than treated water from the same sources, confirming the effectiveness of chlorine in reducing pathogenic bacteria in households' stored drinking-water, reinforcing the scientific basis for scaling up chlorine as effective disinfectant. However, this study demonstrated that chlorine failed to effectively eliminate all pathogens in drinking water. As a case study in tropical rural environments in Africa, these findings on the suitability of using chlorine as disinfectant and on factors explaining groundwater contamination, though provisional, provide a scientific basis for assessing cost-effectiveness and sustainability of scaling-up the use of chlorine as a curative remedy and of systematically investigating local hydrogeologic factors in order to implement measures to protect groundwater quality in poverty-prone rural communities.

Abstract: This paper shows that a borehole dilution experiment using common salt is a useful technique for better understanding of some hydrogeological features of a fractured aquifer. A sense of such tracer experiments was performed in the campus site aquifer, a hydrological experiment site of the Institute for Ground Studies at the University of the Orange Free State in Bloemfontein. It is demonstrated that the model for use in homogeneous aquifers may be adapted in fractured aquifers. Results have revealed valuable information on hydraulic parameters of the fracture system at different scales. Profiles of electrical conductivities monitored in several boreholes can be used to locate horizontal fracture zones in the aquifer. These results may provide an important guide to formulate realistic conceptual models for borehole protection zoning. The experiment can also serve as a reference to future experiments of this kind in Karoo aquifers which cover some 50% of the subcontinent of Southern Africa.

Abstract: Delineation of capture zones for groundwater source protection is normally performed by using numerical codes which are based on the porous medium flow equation. However, boreholes are often sited in or along permeable dykes or single fracture zones through which aquifers are drained. It is very important to take into account dyke-influenced aquifers. This paper makes use of Linesink to simulate permeable dyke or fractured zones and utilises the pathline distribution to delineate the capture zones. Conditions when the influence of a fractured dyke can be considered negligible are also discussed through comparison with stagnation point in a uniform flow field. The approach may be sufficient to illustrate protection zoning requirements when dyke aquifers are considered. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/811 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The cumulative rainfall departure (CRD) method, based on the water-balance principle, is often used for mimicking of water level fluctuations. Because of its simplicity and minimal requirement of spatial data, the CRD method has been applied widely for estimating either effective recharge or aquifer storativity, and consequently gained a focus in South Africa. This paper critically reviews this method and proposes expanded algorithm. Validation of the method under typical South African conditions is discussed based on model-generated and known cases. The study is aided with a user-friendly Excel program called Recharge Estimation Model in Excel (REME). URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/822 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This paper reports on a conceptual model that was developed to describe the different groundwater discharge 'types' from the Table Mountain Group (TMG) aquifer, that contributes to the different components of the flow regime in each of the recognised river reaches for streams and rivers associated with the TMG. This model integrates hydrogeological, ecological and geomorphological understandings into an ecohydrological perspective linking ground- and surface water systems. Through geospatial intersections of existing GIS layers a GIS model was also developed to highlight the quaternary catchments containing sensitive aquatic ecosystems that could be vulnerable to groundwater use from the TMG. The conceptual model demonstrates the intimate link between groundwater from the TMG aquifer and aquatic ecosystems in the mountain and foothill reaches of streams and rivers in the Cape Folded Mountains in particular. It also identifies two primary zones of interaction between groundwater and surface water in the TMG, namely, the 'TMG aquifer daylight- domain', located in the recharge zone, and the 'TMG aquifer surface water interface-domain', located at the discharge end of the aquifer. The conceptual model clearly indicates the difference between real groundwater, and perceived groundwater contributions to streamflow in the TMG. It is the lower flows of the flow regime that will be most vulnerable to groundwater use from the TMG aquifer in the 'TMG aquifer daylight-domain', which are unfortunately also the most important flows from an ecological perspective. However, any groundwater use from the TMG aquifer will also affect the discharge end of the aquifer, located far from the higher elevation recharge areas, or the point of groundwater abstraction, in lowland settings in the 'TMG aquifer surface water interface-domain'. The GIS model integrated the conceptual understanding into a management tool by highlight all quaternary catchments associated with TMG containing sensitive aquatic ecosystems and gave the variable vulnerability for each.

Abstract: In contrast to its strategic role as essential resource to help achieve community development and poverty alleviation in the Southern African Development Community (SADC), groundwater has remained a poorly understood and managed resource. This was the finding of a scoping study regarding the status of groundwater resources management in SADC. The key premise for the assessment was that groundwater resource management must take place within an IWRM framework and the IWRM Toolbox developed by the Global Water Partnership was used as the scope and content for the assessment. The SADC region has well- developed policies for regional development and IWRM, as well as a relatively strong focus on groundwater resources. This article questions whether problems relating to Africa's sustainable utilisation and management of groundwater is a unique groundwater problem or must also be related to the challenges experienced in general with the implementation of an IWRM approach in Africa. A key finding was that groundwater management links to groundwater-dependent sectors like agriculture, rural development, health and environment are not well- established in policy or in practice. Internationally, there is a recognition, that such a, quite common, situation can only be addressed through a long-term process through which viable national, regional and local systems can evolve, within a strategic framework in which these intended relationships between diverse sets of interventions or management approaches and the development goals are brought out. However, such a strategic, multi-stakeholder-driven approach also still remains the major challenge in Africa for IWRM implementation as a whole. Recent continent-wide initiatives, like the development of IWRM and water efficiency plans for each country and multi-stakeholder water dialogue processes, have been taken to address this challenge. It is therefore crucial that groundwater becomes an integral part of these and related initiatives. New AMCOW and SADC initiatives for groundwater provide a major opportunity to achieve this.

Abstract: In South Africa, the flow requirements for maintaining the normal functioning of aquatic ecosystems is termed the "ecological reserve", and these should be determined when a licence application for water allocation is processed. Determination of the ecological reserve entails investigation of the relationship between the major interactive components of the hydrologic cycle, namely groundwater and surface water bodies including rivers, lakes and estuaries. Information on groundwater discharge towards surface water bodies is critical for the water resource manager to make a decision regarding the amount of groundwater allocation that can be licensed without causing a negative impact on aquatic ecosystems. Existing techniques of hydrograph-separation are too subjective either due to the fact that assumptions of the techniques cannot be met in reality or that the parameters used in models do not have physical meanings. This paper presents a geomorphologic framework under which the quantification of groundwater from a hydrograph is discussed. A focus is placed on hydrogeomorphological typing that can be used to guide a process of separating groundwater discharge time series from hydrographs where a monthly groundwater discharge time series is required for comparison with instream flow requirements. For generating monthly groundwater discharge time series, a generic procedure is proposed, which is applied in a case study. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/812 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: One of the principal environmental concerns relating to coal combustion waste disposal is the potential for groundwater contamination from salt fluxes and trace elements that may be leached into the underlying groundwater system. Since changes in moisture and salt concentrations usually provide contrasts in electrical properties against the host media, electri - cal resistivity methods can be used to monitor ingression of solute plumes as well as to detect any preferential flow paths within the ash medium. In this study, 2D electrical resistivity tomography was used to monitor brine (10% NaCl) water ingression through the unsaturated zone of a dry coal ash dump at a power station, Mpumalanga, South Africa. This was after the initial laboratory determination of the relation between electrical resistivity and moisture/salt content for the ash dump. The results showed that infiltration plume progression was more pronounced in the vertical direction, suggesting that moisture movement is mainly due to gravitational pull. There was no evidence of preferential flow within the ash medium, although the different infiltration rates for different sites suggested different permeability within the unsaturated zone.

Abstract: Groundwater/surface-water interaction is receiv¬ing increasing focus in Africa due to its importance to ecologic systems and sustainability. In South Africa's 1998 National Water Act (NWA), water-use licenses, including groundwater, are granted only after defining the Reserve, the amount of water needed to supply basic human needs and preserve some ecological integrity. Accurate quantification of groundwater con¬tributions to ecosystems for successful implementation of the NWA proves challenging; many of South Africa's aquifers are in heterogeneous and anisotropic fractured-rock settings. This paper reviews the current conceptualizations and investigative approaches regard¬ing groundwater/surface-water interactions in the con¬text of South African policies. Some selected pitfall experiences are emphasized. The most common approach in South Africa is estimation of average annual fluxes at the scale of fourth-order catchments (~500 km2) with base flow separation techniques and then subtracting the groundwater discharge rate from the recharge rate. This approach might be a good start, but it ignores spatial and temporal variability, potentially missing local impacts associated with production-well placement. As South Africa's NWA has already been emulated in many countries including Zambia, Zimbabwe and Kenya, the successes and failures of the South African experience dealing with the groundwater/surface-water interaction will be analyzed to guide future policy directions.

Abstract: Although water resources managers speak of a water crisis in Africa, the management of ground water has to date not featured strongly in national and regional African water agendas. Examination of the physical environment of the continent and, in particular, the water resources in relation to the socioeconomic landscape and regional development challenges makes it clear that widely occurring, albeit largely low-yielding, ground water resources will be crucial in the achievement of water security and development. Ground water is important primarily in domestic water and sanitation services, but also for other local productive needs like community gardens, stock watering, and brick-making, all essential to secure a basic livelihood and thus to alleviate poverty. Despite the importance of small-scale farming in Africa, there is little information on the present and potential role of ground water in agriculture. In contrast to its socioeconomic and ecological importance, ground water has remained a poorly understood and managed resource. Widespread contamination of ground water resources is occurring, and the important environmental services of ground water are neglected. There appear to be critical shortcomings in the organizational framework and the building of institutional capacity for ground water. Addressing this challenge will require a much clearer understanding and articulation of ground water's role and contribution to national and regional development objectives and an integrated management framework, with topdown facilitation of local actions.

Salinity of irrigation water in the Philippi farming area of the Cape Flats, Cape Town, South AfricaAza-Gnandji, Ruben C.D.; Xu, Yongxin; Raitt, Lincoln; Levy, Jonathan (Water Research Commission, 2013)[more][less]
Abstract: This paper explores the nature, source and spatial variation of the salinity of water used for irrigation in a coastal urban farming area in Cape Town, South Africa, where water from the Cape Flats aquifer is drawn into storage ponds and used for crop irrigation. Water samples were collected in summer and winter from selected sites across the study area and were analysed for salinity as well as for concentrations of major and minor ions. Each site consists of one borehole and one pond. Isotope analysis was done for the summer samples so as to assess effects of evaporation on water quality and salinity. Descriptive statistics were used to compare the variation in range of concentration of specific ions with the recommended ranges set by the South African Department of Water Affairs and Forestry (DWAF) and the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). Geographical information system (GIS) analysis was used to describe the spatial distribution of salinity across the study area, and hydro-geochemical analysis was used to assess the possibility of seawater intrusion into the aquifer system and to characterise groundwater in the study area. The results of the research showed that the concentrations of chloride, nitrate, potassium and sodium exceeded the target maximum limit according to DWAF and FAO guidelines. Groundwater and pond water were also observed to be brackish in most parts of the research area in terms of total dissolved salts content, and fresh water was only found in the middle section of the research area. It is concluded that the accumulation of salts in groundwater and soil in the study area is mainly due to the agricultural activities and partially due to the natural movement of water through the geological formation of the Cape Flats region. These findings permit the formulation of a conceptual model of the occurrence of the salinization process, which implies that the groundwater and pond water in the study area are generally suitable for irrigation purposes, but need to be used with caution as the vegetables grown are classified as sensitive and moderately sensitive to salt according to DWAF guidelines for irrigation water quality (1996). The research paves a way for possible quantitative simulation of salt mass balance in future. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/709 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Snowmelt in the mountainous areas of the Table Mountain Group (TMG) in South Africa is believed to be one of sources of groundwater recharge in some winter seasons. This paper provides a scientific assessment of snow impact on groundwater recharge in Table Mountain Group Aquifer Systems for the first time. Snowfall periodically occurs on the highest mountain ranges of about 1 000 to 1 200 m above mean sea level (a.m.s.l) in the TMG area. Snow over the mountainous catchments is often observed on the gentle side of the slope, which is substantially affected by wind and vegetation. Based on climatic analysis, recharge processes and Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM) images, the recharge areas influenced by snowmelt in the TMG are identified as those catchments that are located above 1 000 m a.m.s.l. Physical processes within the snowpack are very complex involving mass and energy balances as well as heat and mass transport. Snowmelt rate was calculated using a variable degree-day melt factor determined as a function of snowpack density and vegetation cover. The hourly snowmelt rates estimated with different new snow density models. Groundwater recharge from snowmelt is affected by snowmelt mechanisms and local recharge conditions. The recharge rate is constrained by characteristics of the fractures rather than snowmelt rate. Recharge is also discounted due to prevailing interflow occurring in favourite geomorphological locations. This hypothesis is confirmed by an infiltration experiment in which up to 13.6% of the infiltrating water can recharge the aquifer. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/820 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to review the case for using 'capture' rather than recharge as the conceptual basis for sustainable groundwater use in South Africa. Capture refers to the sum of the increase in recharge and decrease in discharge brought about by pumping. Definitions of sustainability are reviewed, and the capture process is outlined. Implications for using the capture principle in the implementation of the NWA are discussed, and adaptive management is proposed as an appropriate management approach. Implications for groundwater monitoring are also discussed. Case studies are described that support the need for adaptive management and the application of the capture principle URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/740 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Based on the field measurements of the physical properties of fractured rocks, the anisotropic properties of hydraulic conductivity (HC) of the fractured rock aquifer can be assessed and presented using a tensor approach called hydraulic conductivity tensor. Three types of HC values, namely point value, axial value and flow direction one, are derived for their possible applications. The HC values computed from the data measured on the weathered or disturbed zones of rock outcrops tend to give the upper limit values. To simulate realistic variations of the hydraulic property in a fractured rock aquifer, two correction coefficients, i.e. the fracture roughness and combined stress conditions, are adapted to calibrate the tensor model application. The application results in the Table Mountain Group (TMG) aquifers show that the relationship between the HC value and fracture burial depths follows an exponential form with the power hyperbola.

Hi Pat,
Thanks for your interest in the Abby Cadabby cake. Abby Cadabby is not a rice paper transfer, but actually an image I created out of colored white chocolate. The technique is called flood work and is basically the practice of tracing a picture in chocolate. Once the chocolate hardens, you can safely transfer it to the cake. Sorry I couldn't help, but good luck with your cake.

Chris Cormier's Team Real Deal Empire
Celebrity fitness guru Chris Cormier, a IFBB Pro Bodybuilder, who already is internationally known and recognized for his intense "Team Real Deal", Cormier's roster just got a little longer. Chris Cormier just keeps bringing the women competitors coming to the forefront of today's professional bodybuilding circuit.
Team Cormier, first introduced to the public his partnership with none other than powerhouse athlete and fitness model Jill Rudison to his team, Cormier first encountered Rudison during a workout at his Gold's Gym hang out, Cormier saw something in Jill Rudison, nothing short of Olympic material. The two have since paired up and are making history as we speak one grueling set at a time.
Cormier now wants the world to meet NPC National Bikini Competitor, Jennifer Toro. Cormier has added a new "Bikini Division", to the Team Real Deal organization. Jennifer Toro, who will spearhead the division under the guidance and expertise from Chris Cormier and bring on more teammates, to continue to build their ever-growing fitness empire.
Team Real Deal goal is to expand across the California coast, with Venice on lock, the Team has now begun to take over in the OC. Team Real Deal is currently competing at USA Bodybuilding Championships in Las Vegas.
This band of pro athletes is nothing short of making their mark in the women's division of bodybuilding. With the teams, new line of organic snacks due to hit a store near you, and Cormier's return to TV with Rudison, the duo has been casted in a new reality series. To whip the cast back into shape after motherhood has taken its toll is currently filming in South Carolina and California.
All I have to say about Team Real Deal is what is next? Guess we will have to wait and see what they will add to their ever impressive and developing resume.

It took some time to figure out the location of the office, and the walk from there to my designated hotel was like 20 minutes. Which is not much, but considering Venice is pedestrian only, lugging around my bags for all that duration was a bit cumbersome. Location of room was good though. It was very reasonable to begin with, so wasn't at all expecting much. But sticky floor and no wifi?? Its not super bad. Fine if you're roughing it out. But i've stayed in way better hostels for similar costs.

The Android Market icon may look the same on your Android smartphone, but upon opening the application youll notice it has quite a new look and feel. Oh and a new name: Google Play. Instead of the more list-friendly view, it now looks a lot more like the Android Market you might see on a web browser. It has also expanded beyond apps and music. The idea is that everything you might want to use (Books, Music, Movies, Games, and Apps) on the phone or tablet is available in the Google Play store. There are also some great deals to be had as well such as the Free Song of the Day, movie rentals for 99 cents, and even apps for 25 cents.
Theres no need to download anything to get Google Play on and Android Device, just launch the app from the Market icon and Google will do the rest.

This week's topic is reviews and reviewers.
For me, the term "reviewer" always conjures up an image of an erudite literary scholar conducting a painstaking examination of an author's work and saying insightful, revelatory things. Which is kind of funny when I think about it, because by and large, that elbow-patched, pipe tobacco-scented fantasy doesn't correspond to my own experience.
At the start of my career, Ed Bryant, writing in Locus, gave two of my early horror novels generous, thoughtful reviews. But then the horror field virtually collapsed for a time, and I moved into writing tie-in novels (Forgotten Realms, X-Men, Pathfinder, World of Darkness, etc.) Until Blind God's Bluff, they were the only novels I was putting out.
For the most part, professional critics don't comment on tie-in novels. Thus, in recent years, most of my reviews have come from bloggers, posters in fan forums, and Amazon customers. So that's the kind I'm going to talk about.
I'll start by saying I endorse the right of readers to hold and express any opinion, good or bad, about an author's work. In fact, a writer should arguably be grateful for even negative comments. In today's overcrowded entertainment marketplace, it may well be that any mention is better than none. Still, that said, reviews occasionally make me wince.
Sometimes the problem is pure inaccuracy. One guy who reviewed my X-Men novel attributed it to Christopher Golden. Now, Christopher Golden is a fine writer who wrote some terrific X-Men books back in the day, so maybe I should have taken it as a compliment. But I would rather have had my story credited to me.
At least that bit of confusion was comprehensible. A guy who reviewed one of my Forgotten Realms novels trashed it because of a single scene he didn't like. His description made it clear to me that the sequence in question is not actually in the book. I have no idea what story he was thinking of, but it wasn't mine.
It's also exasperating when reviewers elevate their personal preferences into Absolute and Universal Principles of Art. For example, if someone gives zero stars to a paranormal romance because he hates the whole paranormal romance genre, or stomps a novel for being told in the first person because he never likes stories told in the first person, that's unfair, and it doesn't say anything useful to anybody reading the review.
And sometimes bad reviews have a frustrating lack of detail. "Byers is a lousy writer, and this book sucks." Okay, but why does it suck? What didn't you like about it?
But of course, much as writers might wish the poorer reviewers would up their game, it's never going to happen. People are going to write manifestly wrongheaded comments on our work from time to time, and in fact, readers who aren't so easily dismissed will take shots at us, too. We have to learn to cope with bad reviews.
For me, it helps to realize there's no such thing as a writer whose work has universal appeal. Some people don't appreciate H. P. Lovecraft and Fritz Leiber, and if even the true giants of our field can't please everybody, I'd be crazy to expect to do better.
It also helps to remember the reviewer was only speaking for himself. He wasn't giving voice to a silent multitude of disappointed readers.
But the most important thing to understand is that no matter how stupid and abusive a review might seem, the writer should resist any temptation to answer back. If the reviewer didn't like the book, nothing the author can say will persuade him he actually did. And more importantly, no matter how courteous and reasonable the writer's rebuttal (and he may not find it all that easy to be courteous and reasonable if he's pissed off), he runs a significant risk at being seen as a thin-skinned, arrogant jerk lashing out at a poor little reader just for daring to express a less-than-adulatory opinion. That's not a good public image to cultivate.
Basically, the advice above boils down to shrug off bad reviews and move on. But is that really always the best response? Can't writers learn from criticism?
If dozens of reviews pointed to the same alleged defect in an author's work, I guess that issue might conceivably be worth considering. But in my experience, that hasn't been the case. Those who've disliked my stuff have given diverse and indeed contradictory reasons why. Considered all together, the comments essentially canceled each other out.
Even if they hadn't, though, it's questionable that the feedback could have helped me, because it was commentary on work finished a year or more before. In the interim, I'd written other stories, and I hope, grown into a slightly different and more accomplished writer. Moreover, when the review appeared, I was in the middle of a new project, which may well have posed very different problems. Even if the criticism was valid, there was a good chance it was no longer relevant.
Thus, those who post reviews thinking writers will alter their approaches in response have unrealistic expectations. Fortunately, that's not the only reason to do it. It can be satisfying to express one's opinions to other readers. Imagine, for example, the pleasure you yourself might experience by posting a glowing review of Blind God's Bluff on Amazon or Barnes and Noble. Hypothetically speaking.

3 teens rescued from icy swamp in Norwell
NORWELL, Mass. (WHDH) -- Three teenagers were rescued from a Norwell swamp Tuesday night.
Their disappearance prompted an all out search in the woods. Once they were located, it took hours for the teens to be rescued from a deep, slushy swamp.
"After the first hour I'm like, 'I'm going to kill him.' Then you get that panic and then you're just sheer terror," said Robin Holler, whose 14-year-old son Jake was rescued from the woods.
Robin Holler said the three friends were in the woods playing a game of survivor. They got lost and it got dark.
"They had coats and sneakers, my son had boots and a sweatshirt," said Robin Holler.
The boys left their cell phones behind because they didn't want them to get wet.
Robin Holler's husband spent two hours searching the woods.
"My husband came back and he's like 'I heard their voices.' I'm like, 'Are you sure? Are you sure?' I didn't believe him," said Robin Holler.
The boys were on a small island surrounded by icy water.
"There were about 150 yards from any type of land," said Chief Theodore Ross of the Norwell Police Department. "The water was out chest high."
Rescuers tried to use a boat, but the brush was too thick. Rescuers put on survival suits and walked through the water.
"It was about an inch thick of ice I had to smash through," said Bill Milne of the Norwell Fire Department. "We put them in survival suits themselves and walked them out with us."
"The kids must have been freezing because in the suit it was starting to get a little bit cold. They did a great job. They stayed huddled up together and kept each other warm," said Harry Merritt of the Norwell Fire Department.
Hours later the three families were reunited.
"I'm really happy. That was really scary because I'm super close with my brother," said Sabrina Smith, whose brother was rescued from the woods.
"I'm exhausted. I'm relieved. I'm so happy though, there's no -- at this point it just puts life in perspective…I don't even care, I'm not mad at him. I was just so thankful," said Robin Holler.
The three 14-year-old boys were rushed to the hospital and treated for exposure. They have all been released. One boy did suffer from frost bite, but they are all expected to be okay.
Temperatures were in the 20's on Tuesday night.

It would be nice to see skin specific scripts move to a subsection like WIP.
It would be much easier to follow as threads would not mix with rest of the posts and get burried in time. For new skiners it would be oportunity to see what is available and what script serves what function, at a glance. EDIT: we could even call this new section "scripts and tools" and move Foundation, texture packer, 1080 convertor and such there. This would leave sticky thread for anouncements and important changes. EDIT2: BTW, There are several skins that have been released but are still listed in WIP. Those threads should probably move to their own sections in skin support.

it would be nice if there was a way to ignore particular forums entirely. the old forum let me disable certain forums from showing up in search results. since i browse the forums via the "view new posts" link, i get a lot of returns from forums that dont concern me - particularly anything mac related or skins i dont use. helps keep things cleaner.
is this a possibility?

Navy Contemplates Impacts of Offshore War Zone
Ocean off Tillamook County is target of U.S. Navy invasion. Photo by Alex Derr.
Military training and testing in the ocean off Oregon's coast will be the subject of two "open houses" offered by the U.S. Navy, among nine to be held up and down the West Coast. The Navy is taking comments on the environmental impact statement (EIS) it has drafted to cover its military exercises offshore.
The two Oregon meetings will be Monday, March 19 at the Tillamook County Fairgrounds, and Tuesday, March 20 at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport. Each meeting will run 5-8 p.m.
The EIS is a weighty document that describes potential impacts to marine life and ecosystems of faux-combat with real weapons, and attempts to explain how the Navy will protect the environment and recreational and commercial activities while preparing for war.
To read the EIS and comment online, go to the

Summary: An 86-year-old man was brought to the emergency department with progressive abdominal pain. Clinically, small bowel obstruction was suspected. Computed tomography (CT) examination was fol-lowed by laparotomy.
Gallstone ileus
Two unenhanced abdominal CT images in this patient with progressive abdominal pain show dilated small bowel proximal to a laminated gallstone with transition to normal caliber distal small bowel and colon, compatible with small bowel obstruction (figure 1). Figure 2 shows pneumobilia from a cholecystoenteric fistula. The presence of bowel obstruction, air in the biliary tree, and a radio-opaque gallstone within the gastrointestinal tract is the classic radiographic triad described with gallstone ileus.8
Gallstone ileus, a rare and potentially serious complication of cholelithiasis, occurs when a gallstone erodes through the wall of the gallbladder into the gastrointestinal tract. Bowel obstruction may occur when larger stones (usually >2 cm) become lodged at narrow portions of the gastrointestinal tract, such as the duodenum, ligament of Treitz, ileocecal valve, and sigmoid colon.1,2 Clinical diagnosis is difficult2-4 and radiographic examinations are frequently inconclusive.3-5 Computed tomography (CT) may result in more rapid and specific diagnosis.4,6,7

Thread: Horn Circuit Question
Hybrid View
Horn Circuit Question
I installed an Air horn on my truck, at the same time I installed a compressor, solenoid valve, horn relay, and a push button switch. Currently it is not wired into my vehicle horn relay, and that is what I am now trying to do. I am trying to contain the wiring to the inside of my cab. I have put a multimeter on 3 different wires that I think go to the horn switch and I get no voltage. When I look for a schematic for the horn circuit all I find is for a 2003 Silverado, my truck is a 2007 Silverado, I would think that the schematic would be close. The question that I have is; Does the wire running from the factory horn relay going to the horn switch have 12 VDC power or is this a negative wire just providing a ground. My current wiring schematic for the air horn is set up as required for the Wolo Solenoid valve and I want to run a jumper wire from my horn switch wire to the back side of my air horn so that when I hit my regular horn the air horn goes off as well. In order to do this I need the 12 VDC to open the solenoid valve.

After doing some more research, on the 2007 NNBS Silverados there is no horn relay, well there is but, it is a printed circuit board. At this point I am going to run a wire from my switch and splice into the horn power wire close to the factory horn. I believe that the wire running to the horn switch is just a ground wire with no power.

Just put it on its own circuit, separate from the horn, with its own push button. That way you'll at least have use of your regular horn too.
Why not run the existing wire that runs to the horn to a relay and use the relay to power the horn air valve? That way, you can switch it back with no problems.

The hostel is an 18 minute walk from the nearest subway station, unless you want to pay extra for the bus. The hostel rented out a key with no deposit to use freely after the doors locked at 9, but there was no lock on the female dorm door. I'm unsure of how many this place accommodates, but there was only one toilet and one shower. The hostel recommended a local onsen, but it was quite a walk down the street and inconvenient to get to.

Excellent hostel. We really loved it and the owner was very, very, very helpful. Not the most central hostel to kyoto, but only a bus or bike ride from centre. Please try out the 2 local bars. They are excellent fun.

Over the 3 years the RBN has been up, we've seen some pretty big names and labels roll through here but some have stated no or after a while stopping saying yes because of money. Granted I know details won't really be given here but there are 2 labels I'm thinking of that had tracks released and the nothing ever after that. Metal Blade from what I remember is a no to the RBN now but had several tracks of their come out from Job for a Cowboy, Unearth, etc.., the other is Epitaph, they only had 1 song from Converge come out (glad we at least got one), I remember ASP saying they tried Epitaph when Falling in Reverse's Raised by Wolves was really popular and they never back. Were either of those caused by poor sales? I know all 3 consoles got at least 2 Metal Blade tracks though I'm not sure if Converge even made it to the PS3. I was just curious on what goes down with that or even better, what happened with those labels.
Edit: It was Dark Horse by Converge and IT DID make it to the PS3.

Solar satellite launched to study space weather
An Atlas 5 rocket boosted NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory into orbit Thursday, kicking off an $850 million mission to study the physics of the sun and the titanic magnetic storms, flares, and explosions that drive space weather across the solar system.
Using three sophisticated instruments that will collect enormous amounts of data over short time scales, scientists hope to improve their ability to predict the onset of major flares and other phenomena that can disrupt communications, satellite navigation, and power grids.
"SDO will observe the sun almost continuously for more than five years, sending back data at an … Read more

But Cody Hoffman should blow them all out of the water.
Hoffman is on pace to shatter every BYU career receiving record. All he needs is 19 catches, 538 yards and 3 touchdowns, and he will own the all-time school record in all three categories.
"I didn't expect this to happen," Hoffman said. "That wasn't my mindset coming in. I didn't intend to come here out of high school breaking records. I just came to play and do what I do best. It just so happens that I might break all the records."
Knowing the history at BYU, Hoffman isn't taking his accomplishments lightly.
"It means a lot knowing the tradition," Hoffman said. "With all the prestigious quarterbacks they've had and other good receivers, it means a lot."
Hoffman is coming off a spectacular junior season, in which he caught 100 passes for 1,248 yards and 11 touchdowns. The truly amazing part is he did that with three different quarterbacks (Riley Nelson, Taysom Hill and James Lark). Now that he some stability with Hill, can Hoffman be even better?
"That's hard to say," Hill said. "Cody was pretty freaking good last year. The thing about Cody that makes him so good is that he catches pretty much everything you throw at him, but he's also really smart. He has a really good feel for the defense."
"As much as we practice together, it's only going to get better with time," Hoffman said about his chemistry with Hill. "We're not getting complacent."
If he stays healthy, by season's end, Hoffman should own every BYU receiving record in the book.

The biggest shots in Lakers playoff history
Image 23 of 35
13. Derek Fisher vs. Boston Celtics, Game 7 NBA Finals, June 17, 2010.( Wally Skalij, Los Angeles Times )
The setting: After briefly going to the locker room to tend to an injury, Fisher returned in the fourth quarter and made a three-point shot with 6:12 left to tie the score at 64-64.
The significance: In a game where points were hard to come by, Fishers shot not only got the Lakers even but it reenergized the Staples Center crowd. From that point on, the Lakers never trailed and won, 83-79. Boston Coach Doc Rivers said Fishers shot was the biggest of the game. |

Dismay over the new rules bubbled over into the nonstop schedule of presentations and meetings here this week, which drew a wide array of experts in Earth and planetary science.
Scott Borg, who directs the National Science Foundation's Antarctic research office, acknowledged the impact of the travel restrictions during a meeting Tuesday of scientists who conduct federally funded research in Antarctica.
"The federal government has been put under a lot of pressure on travel thanks to the General Services Administration," Borg said just before he cued up a video message from Kelly Falkner, the head of NSF's Office of Polar Programs, who was not able to travel to San Francisco.
And a Monday morning session on polar ice began with Michael Studinger, a scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, announcing that "budget problems" had prevented one of the researchers who organized the series of talks from attending them.
That scientist, Jackie Richter-Menge of the Army Corps of Engineers' Cold Regions Research Laboratory in Hanover, N.H., also missed a Wednesday press conference to release a major government report on the Arctic that she helped edit.
Some agencies feel the pinch; others don't
Especially frustrating, many researchers said, is the wide variation in the way federal agencies are interpreting the new rules.
Several NASA employees said they had little trouble getting permission to come to the meeting, where agency researchers unveiled new results from the Mars rovers Curiosity and Opportunity, the Voyager mission to the edge of the solar system, and twin satellites studying gravity on the moon.
USGS also managed to send a sizable contingent, thanks to McNutt's lobbying, although the agency chief was quick to note that this year's attendees were limited to those presenting research, serving on AGU committees and boards, or receiving honors from the society.
NOAA was also well-represented. But many researchers said the Energy and Defense departments had greatly limited their employees' attendance at this week's meeting. No one from the Army Corps' research division was allowed to go, for example.
The Army Corps even refused travel assistance offered to its scientists by collaborators at other agencies, sources said. Some Army Corps scientists took matters into their own hands, using vacation time and their own money to get to San Francisco.
"For me, the frustration is the fact that good work is getting done by government employees and we're not able to showcase that. We're not able to show people what we are doing in support of our government and, frankly, those tax dollars," one Army Corps employee said. "I just don't think this was the intention of the restriction, and it's not being implemented consistently from one government agency to another."

Is Lani's Luau "international cuisine"?
Thursday, June 18th, 2009A restaurant listing of "international" in another newspaper last week mentioned Polish, Latino, and Ethiopian restaurants in Tucson. Along with those was listed my favorite Hawaiian place, Lani's Luau on the northwest corner of Harrison and Golf Links. But as I thought about it, I questioned whether Lani's should be listed as "international", being as Hawaii has been the 50th state since August, 1959.
I was born and raised there in Hawaii, and grew up in a rural village with a colonial atmosphere (white people in charge of ethnic sugar plantation working families, descendants from all over the world). Then most of the sugar and pineapple plantations closed due to cheaper overseas production, and Hawaii switched economic bases to tourism and alternate agriculture (coffee, macadamia nuts, flowers).
Because Hawaii is in the middle of the Pacific, people from all over the world visit and emigrate there. Remember that President Obama's father (from Kenya) and mother (from Kansas) met and married in Honolulu. My sister in law in Kona is from Australia, and my Honolulu niece has married a guy from Morocco, adding to the international flair of Hawaii.
Hawaiian cuisine is the result of these islands being the Crossroads of the Pacific and because of the mix of ethnicities living in Hawaii. Leilani (Lani) Dowling, the cook at her restaurant does serve authentic Hawaiian plate lunches, desserts, and juices. Taking a look at her menu you will notice that Hawaiian food incorporates recipes that are Japanese (teriyaki chicken), Korean (kim chee), Filipino (lumpia), Portuguese (sausage and malasadas), Chinese (char siu bao, called manapua in Hawaii).
Lani and her husband Zane also truly exhibit the friendly "aloha spirit" I've previously written about as a My Tucson columnist last year for the Tucson Citizen.
So, in answer to my title's question, go and find out for yourself at Lani's Luau (2532 S. Harrison Rd.) whether their cuisine is international or just typical Hawaiian.
Phone # there is 886-LUAU (5828), closed Sunday and Monday.
