Pupils take part in Olympics themed sports day
3:10pm Friday 29th June 2012 in News By Natalie O'Neill
Pupils enjoyed an Olympics themed sports day as part of their school's centenary celebrations yesterday.
Belmont School in The Ridgeway, Mill Hill, decided to have a themed sports day in honour of the Games as well as their 100th anniversary.
The day began with an opening ceremony as the children too part in a parade, holding flags from countries around the world.
Instead of school houses, pupils were divided into continents and worked together to gain points for their team.
Parents and staff watched as the 412 pupils took part in numerous events including 100 and 200 metre sprints, shot-put, javelin and high jump.
Medals and trophies were handed out by Mike Corby, a former Hockey and Squash Olympian, and Kaz Donald, chair of the Friends of Belmont School.
Lynn Duncan, headteacher said: "It was lovely to see the children being so supportive of everybody. They enjoyed the sport and the competition but at the end of the day they really supported one another.
"Europe was the winning team. Let's hope that happens in the Olympics."

20th-ranked Tigers top Hendrix 72-50
January 23, 2005
January 23, 2005, Greencastle, Ind. - The 20th-ranked Tigers improved to 15-3 overall and 6-1 in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference following a 72-50 victory over visiting Hendrix. The Warriors dropped to 11-7 overall and 3-4 in the conference as DePauw won its 17th consecutive home SCAC game.
The Tigers put together a 15-0 run over a 5:26 stretch of the first half to take a 27-10 lead and they led 33-14 at the intermission. Hendrix battled back in the second half to close the margin to nine on a couple of occasions.
The Warriors were still within 11 at 56-45 after Abby Mowrey's layup with 5:32 remaining, but DePauw scored the next 11 to put the game away.
"Every possession was kind of a struggle," DePauw head coach Kris Huffman said. "Hendrix is the leading defensive team in the conference and we were happy to survive today."
Amy Argetsinger led DePauw with 18 points with Sarah Zondor adding 14 and Caitlin McGonigal scoring 11. The Tigers held a 47-36 advantage on the boards with Suzy Doughty equaling a career high with seven. DePauw grabbed 20 offensive rebounds in the win.
Gretchen Haehl posted career highs with seven assists and six steals and equaled a career best with six rebounds.
Erin McKenzie and Mowrey each scored 11 to lead the Warriors, while Jamie Ball hauled down seven rebounds. Bonnie Hicks dished out four assists and McKenzie blocked four shots.
DePauw shot just 37 percent from the field, but held Hendrix to 38 percent and helped force 27 Warriors turnovers.
The Tigers travel to Sewanee on Friday for a 6 p.m. CST contest that can be heard live on WGRE, while Hendrix hosts Oglethorpe on Friday.

The recent scandal and dismissal of John Terry as England team captain provides an interesting example of the psychological theory of discourse and subject positions (Edley, 2001; Holloway, 1984)). Put simply, discourses (all the utterances around a particular topic) both produce and subject people (also by themselves and others) to specific discursive positions. Therefore, the way people experience the world and themselves is in part a by-product of discourse. For example, when Terry took up the position of England captain, he will not have encountered the discourse of the England captaincy pre-formed. Instead he will have been re-constituted as the 'subject' of the England captain in the moment of its consumption. In more familiar terms, the moment that Terry became the England captain, he will have been discursively located with a particular identity (Hall, 1988). The identity of the England football team captain presumably carries with it certain attributes e.g. good team leader, sound role model, respectability, monogamy etc. The point I am making is that, the media allegations of his affair with Vanessa Perroncel located Terry in a 'troubled subject position' (Wetherell, 1998). That is, the allegations implied he occupied a subject position of a discourse other than that of the England team captain. Unfortunately for Terry, occupying a troubled subject has resulted in Fabio Capello replacing Terry as England team captain with Rio Ferdinand.
Grazie, Signor Capello: After days of dithering by the FA, it takes an Italian family man just 10 minutes to sack captain who shamed England

I thought Leap Year was a cute little movie but never understood how/why she left Wales and ended up in Dingle. Certainly they could have told the story and got the geography correct.

The only movie I have seen that is listed is "Leap Year." There were many fallacies in this movie, including the proposal made by women on February 29th...that is known as "Sadie Hawkins Day" in the US and it was also a day when women could ask men to marry them. Having said that, taken in the context of a romantic comedy, I have to say that I adore this movie. I own it on DVD and have watched it many, many times. I enjoy looking at the landscapes that I love so well (and being able to say, "I was there!" on occasion) and I love the great comedy in it.

Have to agree with rodgerahara, "Irish Jam" must go on the worst list - stupid story, bad acting, bad accents, and I don't think there are any more 18th century shebeens left in Ireland where the locals all go to drink.

Don't know how you could leave off "Irish Jam", a terrible movie starring(?) Eddie Griffin about a pub in Ireland being given away to the writer of the best poem, who, in this case, turns out to be an African-American rap artist from Los Angeles. I think it might have been one of those straight to DVD and cable movies. Icky at best!

I'm certainly with you on FAR AND AWAY - at that point in their careers they sent two only mildly talented children to embarrass themselves trying to do adults' work in a film that came close to working but for their sore thumb performances, but I'm with the readers who speak up for the dumb fun (it was a Steve Guttenberg film after all) of HIGH SPIRITS! YES, it is sexist and racist and stereotypical in inexcusable ways, but Liam Neeson is also sexy and hilarious in almost obscene ways and the film is simply too funny to dismiss as the trash it always threatens to be. Like one other reader, I have severe problems with the almost iconic QUIET MAN despite admirable performances by the leads and beautiful cinematography - the glorification of supposedly essential to Irish culture "donnybrooks" is inexcusable to 21st century adults and an insult to CIVILIZED Irish men. IF you're going to defend it however, do at least have a look at the failed 1961 Broadway musical (called, appropriately enough, DONNYBROOK!). The glorious Johnny Burke score almost justifies the silly story and when New York's Irish Rep mounted a revival not too long ago, they *almost* finessed the fighting thing.

Haven't seen "High Spirits". As for the one of the worst Irish movie of all time, I nominate "The Quiet Man". Yes, yes, I know maybe the majority of youse liberal omadhauns love(d) it, but I thought it rollicking only in stupidity. On the other hand, if they would do a remake with Amy Adams playing the Maureen O'Hara part, I'd see it even if they got Tom Cruise as male lead again with his miserable excuse for an Irish accent.

Cronk appointed new attorney
Former undersheriff faces 17 embezzlement charges
A plea hearing for former Montezuma County Undersheriff Robin Cronk was delayed this week as a new court-appointed attorney was assigned to the case.
Formerly represented by public defender Amy Smith, Cronk was granted a new attorney last week when the Durango public defender's office cited they had a former client conflict, court records reveal.
Cronk's new attorney, a tab taxpayers still must pick up, is Katharine Whitney from the Office of Alternate Defense Counsel. During a scheduled plea hearing on Tuesday, Oct. 8, Whitney requested a continuance, saying she had yet to receive all of the files.
"I haven't represented my client from the beginning of this case," she told District Court Judge Todd Plewe.
Plewe granted the plea hearing continuance until 10 a.m. Nov. 21.
During the proceedings, Whitney indicated she was preparing to enter a second gag motion in the case, so Plewe took time to bring her up to speed. The court previously rejected a defense request for a gag order last month.
"You can provide another motion, but you need to provide something with it," Plewe said.
In open court, Plewe told Whitney that his previous gag order rejection included a five-day window for the public defender's office to file supplemental information about rumored Facebook posts from Montezuma County Sheriff Dennis Spruell.
"Nothing was filed," Plewe said. "Personally, I deem that to be a waiver."
A Montezuma County grand jury indicted Cronk on 17 counts of felony embezzlement charges in August. The alleged public corruption stems from his abuse of multiple Montezuma County Sheriff's Office financial accounts for personal gunsmithing services, vehicle maintenance, holsters, generators, gun components, ammunition and firearms over a 26-month span starting in February 2011.
Records show Cronk left taxpayers holding a $7,415.36 bill for his personal items.
Cronk was tapped as undersheriff in January 2011. He was forced to resign the post in June because of the public corruption allegations. He is currently free on a $1,500 bond.
The OADC is funded to provide representation for indigent people in criminal and juvenile delinquency cases in which the public defender's office determines that an ethical conflict of interest exists.
In fiscal year 2011, OADC paid nearly $20 million to some 400 private Colorado attorneys contracted by the agency as defense representatives in nearly 12,000 cases.
Whitney was appointed to represent Cronk on Oct. 3. She is allowed to bill taxpayers $65 per hour plus transportation costs.
Cronk was declared indigent and eligible to receive court-appointed counsel despite earning more than $6,000 a month as undersheriff.

The VidyoRouter™ Virtual Edition (VE) delivers all the software-based functionality found in the VidyoRouter appliance, and extends video conferencing to meet today's distributed workforce and dynamic workflows.
VidyoRouter VE is the only solution to virtualize the media plane and deliver video conferencing capabilities with incredible efficiency and reach. You can deploy on your existing server infrastructure and take full advantage of its multiple hypervisor options. And with VidyoRouter you can spin up VE instances on demand, with the flexibility to choose private, public and hybrid clouds.
Affordable Scalability: Performance capacities can be upgraded in the field in minutes, with the simple addition of a Pay-As-You-Grow VidyoLine license. You can extend your distributed video conferencing infrastructure to support growing demand without the delay, hassle and high cost to procure, install and maintain dedicated hardware.
Minimized Virtual Machine Consumption: By virtualizing the media plane, VidyoRouter VE outperforms contenders that can only virtualize the signaling components or emulators of their MCU-based systems. The Vidyo advantage is massive scalability, on demand, with low latency and high call density per virtual processing resource. You get the benefits of a lightweight, transcoding-free media plane that not only offers higher quality video conferencing experiences, but it's easier and more cost-effective to deploy and manage.

Fourth month of the year, it's not even summer yet and already Peoria has seen it's 10th homicide.
On Wednesday four (4) people were murdered on the center bluff and not a word from the Peoria Chief of Police. Others have been murdered on the East Bluff, the near North side and the South end of Peoria, yet I don't recall the Chief of Police ever being shown at the scene of the crime, or coming on television to reassure us of our safety.
Today, a young woman was found brutally murdered in far North Peoria in Tiffany Apartments; behind Tanglewood Shopping Center; .09 miles (3 minutes in a car) from Willow Knolls Country Club. Tonight, the Chief of Police was on the news reassuring citizens of their safety.

- Collection: Anatolia
- Brand: Safavieh
- Material: 100% Wool
- Weave: Hand Tufted
- Styles: Traditional Rugs
- Origin: China
- Available in the following sizes: 2' x 3', 3' x 5', 2' 3" x 8', 2' 3" x 10', 5' x 8', 6' x 9', 8' x 10', 9' x 12', 4' Round, 6' Round, 8' Round and 2' 3'' x 12'

Love these rugs! I bought two- one for my kitchen dining area and one for my adjoining office. I am about to order another for the formal dining room. The blue in these rugs is not nearly as dark as my PC display showed which was great for me. The rug has a dark navy background but it is a definite blue not blackish. There is also a lighter blue in the floral. The golds are muted and are 3 tones: deeper gold accent, medium gold tone and a paler almost ivory tone. They are wool so they shed for awhile. Very soft-feel great to walk on. Have had for 9 months and they still look fabulous.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Safavieh's award-winning original collections range from the finest antique reproductions to the most fashion forward, contemporary rugs. Safavieh offers a wide variety of transitional area and accent rugs of both Oriental and contemporary designs. Safavieh also produces a variety of rug designs from American Country styles and 19th and early 20th Century European Art.

Hi everyone,
I'm very interested in the Omnimic software but I have a few questions. How does this software compare to XTZ Pro II? Any features that Omnimic offers over and above XTZ?
Just to give you an idea of what I would be using the software for :
Frequency response measuring
Modal ringing - waterfall for LF decay
To check before and after adding acoustic treatment (so the above is important)
General tweaking of the system
I saw XTZ includes a time alignment tool so you can make sure the signals from speaker and subwoofer are perfectly in sync, or some such. Not sure if Omnimic offers a similar feature.
Finally, in terms of the supplied mic, I have no idea which is better or more accurate.
These are my concerns. I'm from S.A, and I've heard of mic issues with Omnimic. I don't know if these issues have been resolved or why they occured, but I don't want to order the product to find I need to have it shipped back because of a defective mic, or due to calibration issues.
If these issues can been resolved I need to know. Any advice/feedback on the above questions/concerns would be most appreciated. Thanks.

The quantum zoo: a tourist's guide to the neverending universeTwo towering achievements of modern physics, quantum theory and Einstein's general theory of relativity together explain virtually everything about the world we live in. Almost a century after the dramatic paradigm shift brought about by these theories, most people still don't feel comfortable with the essential principles underlying them. But if you think that the marvels of modern physics have passed you by, it really isn't too late. Author Marcus Chown makes quantum physics and relativity not only painless, but fun. The Quantum Zoo allows us to stroll the world of cutting-edge physics. We observe the Universe's most incredible phenomena from a safe distance. Finally tamed into submission, both quantum theory and relativity gradually lose their ferocity so that they can be understood - and fully appreciated - by all. |

You must earn 10,000 points to post other members' whiteboard
can you help a fellow gasbuddy out please ?i need to know if there are any shell stations in that areathank youjoe
Congratulations on posting for 2400 consecutive days,, that's dedication. YB.Shep
Welcome aboard buddy, have a nice weekend
Congrats on 2257 cons days posting, very good. Have also noticed some of your posts are quite interesting.. Lets be buddies
Thanks for becoming my newest buddy. You are lucky to still have the G. Cherokee. We were driving a "96 G. Cherokee when I joined in '06, it was my lifelong dream. It had a big, gas sucking V-8 and we traded it in when gas prices spiked in '08. Now we have a '06 Audi with a turbocharged, 4-cylinder engine that gets 34 MPG on the highway at a steady 75 MPH. It is sporty, fun to drive and very fast if needed, but I miss being able to get off road every other week to explore Arizona's great out back. There will be another Jeep, but it will be smaller with a V-6 and will probably be a second vehicle. Hope that you are in the middle of a great weeek. Your new buddy, Warren {:D)
Congratulations on having the dedication to post for 2,200 consecutive days. Keep up the Great Work and Good Luck in the future! Want to become buddies??? Warren :-)
FYI, pay $50 for a cash / gift card and get $51 back, then in $100 increments up to $500 ($500 gets $510 in buying power) at Marathon stations.
Congrats on two-thousand straight days!!! ... and congrats on hitting 2 3/4-million points ....
A BIG CONGRATS on 2,000 consecutive days! Truly awesome! Wow, another milestone has arrived! : ) For some it seems pretty easy to come back each day! But for most GBs they don't seem to have the dedication or the persistence it takes to come back and post gas prices each day for other GBs! Or they just run out of gas! :( Hang onto your speed lines, it only takes one day to lose them! I'm sure you know! But even clicking on news articles links, which are the easiest points here on GasBuddy, when you can't or didn't post gas prices before midnight will save your consecutive days! : ) WARNING! Every day GBs lose their consecutive days for many reasons, many with big numbers, the #1 reason, "oops, I just forgot!" :( If you ever lose your consecutive days; that is NO FAULT of your own, please contact the mods! Keep posting each day to save your consecutive days! Keep going like a PRO Detroit GasBuddy! Have a nice weekend! Thanks buddy!
Congratulations on reaching 2,000 consecutive days! Outstanding job!

Susan Marie (Wittkopf) Plesko
Susan Marie (Wittkopf) Plesko, 66, died in her home in Denver on Jan. 30, 2012, with her husband and son beside her.
Susan Marie (Wittkopf) Plesko, 66, died in her home in Denver on Jan. 30, 2012, with her husband and son beside her.
The first of six children, she was born to Ernest and Betty (Meyers) Wittkopf on Nov. 28, 1945, in Superior, Wis. Susie graduated from Superior Central High School in 1963 and, after a series of odd jobs, enrolled at the University of Wisconsin-Superior. It was there that she reconnected with Forrest Plesko, a young art student whom she had known in high school.
Susie and Forrest married in 1968 and soon left Superior with all their possessions packed into a Chevy Nova station wagon. They traveled to California and enrolled at the seaside campus of California State University, Long Beach. Forrest continued his pursuit of art and Susie spent long hours on her studies. They both earned their bachelors' degrees in 1972, with Susie graduating magna cum laude. Encouraged by a favorite professor to continue her education, Susie earned her master's degree in English in 1975.
After a successful run as a freelance writer, with articles appearing in a number of national magazines, Susie began teaching at Compton College near Los Angeles. She reveled in the challenge of introducing her students to classic literature by making it relevant to contemporary issues. In 1980, Susie took a temporary leave from teaching and focused her efforts on raising her newborn son, Forrest. It was her pride and joy to instill in him a love of literature and music.
By 1985, Susie was teaching composition and literature at the University of Wisconsin-Superior and the University of Minnesota-Duluth. She was respected by her colleagues and, in 1987, directed the writing center at UWS. Susie also combined her love of literature and music, and created a popular course called "Lyrics as Literature," which challenged students to analyze the lyrics of contemporary songs.
In 1993, the family moved west and Susie began teaching English at Canyon Springs High School in Moreno Valley, Calif. Her popular teaching style was quickly recognized, and Susie was selected as part of a team pioneering the Middle College High School program at Riverside Community College. The program allowed gifted and at-risk students the opportunity to leave their high schools and complete their diplomas at the college. Susie also participated in numerous National Endowment for the Humanities Institutes across the United States, studying the works of William Faulkner, Emily Dickinson, Mark Twain, and many others.
But Susie's life wasn't all academics. She was an avid hiker and enjoyed keeping fit by swimming and lifting weights. She had a curiosity about UFOs and ancient civilizations, kept up with the latest technology, and enjoyed riding her Honda ATV through the Glamis sand dunes.
Susie also loved to travel. Besides visiting 49 states, she and Forrest explored Italy, Greece, England, Germany, France, Ireland, The Netherlands, Croatia, Spain, Slovenia, Mexico, Canada, and Egypt. They were often accompanied on these adventures by their son and daughter in law. Susie and Forrest sipped red wine outside the Roman Coliseum, ascended the Eiffel Tower, and stood in the shadow of the Great Pyramid.
Susie and Forrest retired in 2009 and moved to Denver, Colo., to be closer to their son and daughter in law. Although Susie survived breast cancer diagnosed in 2001, she could not beat the stomach cancer diagnosed in 2011. She died as she lived, with great strength and dignity.
She is survived by her husband, Forrest; son, Forrest (Meghan) Plesko; sisters Linda Awana and Patricia Martin; brothers Gerald Wittkopf, Greg Wittkopf, and Jeff Wittkopf; and numerous nieces and nephews.
A celebration of Susie's life will be held in Denver, Colo., on Feb. 25. Donations in Susie's honor may be made to the American Cancer Society.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is doing more than promoting clean energy with a tour of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He's pumping some energy of his own into the campaigns of New England allies facing tough re-election bids.
The president's politicking on Friday begins in Cambridge, Mass., with a quick "official" event at MIT to challenge the nation to lead the global economy in clean energy. That appearance significantly brings down the cost of flying the president to fundraisers designed to raise money for two politically anemic Democrats, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick and Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut.
Patrick, an Obama friend who faces re-election in 2010, has insisted for months he's not focused on re-election next year, but drops the pretense with two high-profile fundraisers.
"He's going to need a lot of funds to overcome his low poll ratings, so I expect on balance it will be a good thing for him," Tufts University political science professor Kent Portney said of Patrick. "President Obama is still very, very popular here in Massachusetts."
After the MIT speech and downtown Boston fundraisers, Obama heads to Connecticut to help Dodd's 2010 bid with an estimated $1 million haul. Obama plans to visit a small business and appear at a fundraiser with Dodd, the White House's pointman in the Senate on financial regulatory reform.
Politics has colored the White House schedule this week. On Tuesday alone, Obama raised an estimated $3 million for the Democratic National Committee during a series of appearances in New York City. He also campaigned in New Jersey, Virginia and Florida.
The New England trip comes little more than a month after Patrick pushed through a change in state law creating an interim senator to replace the late Edward M. Kennedy. Obama and his staff sought the appointment to restore the Democrats' 60-vote, filibuster-proof margin in the Senate as the administration tries to pass its top domestic priority, overhauling the nation's health insurance system.
Dodd, who faces an uphill climb of his own, has become a close ally in dealing with the financial industry, bypassing a change to take Kennedy's leadership role on health care in favor of staying with his portfolio.
Democrats look ahead to the 2010 midterm elections with the barest filibuster-proof majority in the Senate and the risk of giving up a more sizable majority in the House.

Surgical Treatment for Obesity
Weight-loss surgery (bariatric surgery) is the only option today that effectively treats morbid obesity in people for whom more conservative measures such as diet, exercise, and medication have failed.
There are a variety of approaches to bariatric surgery, but all procedures are either malabsorptive, restrictive, or a combination of the two. Malabsorptive procedures change the way the digestive system works. Restrictive procedures are those that severely reduce the size of the stomach to hold less food, but the digestive functions remain intact.

Distribution of Phosphate, Nitrogen Compounds, and Silicate in the Oceans
The distribution of phosphate in the three oceans may best be shown by means of longitudinal vertical sections whose locations are indicated in fig. 44. The representations are intended to bring out only the major features of the vertical distribution, and for this reason many of the minor irregularities have been omitted. The section in the Atlantic Ocean (fig. 45) is based on data obtained by the Discovery (Deacon, 1933) in the Southern Hemisphere, by the Atlantis (Seiwell, 1935) in the North Atlantic, and by the Meteor (Defant et al, 1936) in the area to the south of Greenland. The section in the Pacific Ocean (fig. 46) has been constructed from Discovery observations in the Antarctic (Clowes, 1938) and from those of the Carnegie (in press). The section in the Indian Ocean (fig. 47) is based on Discovery observations (Clowes, 1938). Examination of these sections and the vertical distribution curves in figs. 48 and 50 shows that in general the distribution of phosphate and nitrate is characterized by four different layers: (1) a surface layer in which the concentration is low and relatively uniform with depth, (2) a layer in which the concentration increases rather rapidly with depth, (3) a layer of maximum concentration that is usually located somewhere between 500 and 1500 m, and (4) a thick bottom layer in which there is relatively little change with depth. Examination of figs. 45, 46, and 47 shows that the surface layer is thickest in mid-latitudes

[Full Size]
In the Atlantic Ocean the highest phosphate content (about 2 μg-atoms/L) is found in an intermediate layer extending northward from the Antarctic and centered at depths of about 1000 m. At all depths of about 1000 m or more there is a gradual decrease in phosphate concentration from south to north. A layer of minimum concentration containing less than 1.0 μg-atoms/L of phosphorus extends southward beneath the layer of maximum content. The phosphate concentration in the Antarctic is about twice that found in the northern part of the ocean. Regional differences in the phosphate distribution in the upper 50 m of the Atlantic Ocean are shown in fig. 217 (p. 787). Such differences are of importance in the distribution of plankton. The variations in a transverse section across the South Atlantic are illustrated in fig. 218 (p. 788), which shows the variable thickness of the surface layer of low phosphate content.
The distribution of phosphate in the Pacific Ocean (fig. 46) has many features that differ from those in the Atlantic Ocean. As might be expected, the conditions in the Antarctic are rather similar. However, the maximum amounts in the Pacific are found not in the Southern Hemisphere, as in the Atlantic, but north of the Equator, where the amounts present are about twice those found in the Antarctic (3.5 μg-atoms/L and about 2.0 μg-atoms/L, respectively). Furthermore, there is no clearly defined layer of minimum phosphate content beneath the maximum. The deeper waters of the Pacific are in general higher in phosphate than those of the Atlantic Ocean. The difference in the character of the distribution in the two oceans is related to the nature
The amounts of phosphate in the Indian Ocean (fig. 47) are greater than those in the Atlantic but somewhat less than those in the Pacific Ocean. The intermediate maximum in southern latitudes corresponds to that in the Atlantic, and the maximum in the equatorial region corresponds to that in the North Pacific, as it is related to the low oxygen content of the water. The minimum layer, at depths of about 3500 m, is clearly defined in all latitudes north of 40°S.
The differences between the phosphate concentrations in the three oceans are brought out in fig. 48, which is based on data collected by the Dana (Thomsen, 1931) on a voyage around the world and by the Atlantis in the western North Atlantic (Rakestraw and Smith, 1937). Observations from six stations (locations shown in fig. 44) in each ocean have been averaged and the values corrected for salt error (p. 182), so that they are somewhat higher than the values given in the sections. Too great emphasis should not be placed on the absolute values, as the purpose of the illustration is only to show the character of the vertical distribution in the three oceans, and to emphasize the higher phosphate content of the Pacific and the Indian Oceans in contrast to that of the Atlantic Ocean. Data from individual stations in moderate and low latitudes usually show a well-defined intermediate maximum.
The lack of nitrate observations from many parts of the sea makes it impossible to prepare sections comparable to those for phosphate. Considerable data have been collected by the Dana (Thomsen, 1931, 1937), the Discovery (Discovery Reports, 1932; Deacon, 1933), the

[Full Size]
Curves for the nitrate distribution in the three oceans based on observations of the Dana and Atlantis and comparable to those shown for phosphate are given in fig. 50. Too much emphasis should not be placed upon the absolute values, but the curves clearly demonstrate the characteristic features of the vertical distribution
It has repeatedly been emphasized that there is a close parallelism between the concentrations of nitrate and phosphate. This relationship has been demonstrated by plotting against each other in fig. 51 the average data for phosphate and nitrate presented in figs. 48 and 50. It is immediately seen that there is a good linear relationship between the two substances. The straight line represents the "normal" ratio of nitrogen to phosphorus of 15:1 atoms proposed by Cooper (1938a). Because of this relationship, it is possible to predict with a fair degree of accuracy the concentration of either nitrate or phosphate when either one is known, and, as pointed out previously (p. 237), a relationship exists between the concentrations of these elements and the oxygen depletion.
The ranges in the various inorganic forms of nitrogen have been given (p. 181) as
The nitrate is the most abundant form of inorganic nitrogen, and, as shown in fig. 51, the low values occur at and near the surface, the high values in deeper water. The distribution of nitrite and ammonia, which are always in low concentrations, differs from that of nitrate in that the higher values occur in or above the thermocline. Nitrite may also be found near the bottom in shallow water, but it is generally absent from most of the water column. The ammonia content of the deeper waters is relatively uniform and low. Data given by Rakestraw (1936) and by Redfield and Keys (1938) indicate that in deep water, away from shore, the amounts of these substances are small. At one station, half way between Cape Cod and Bermuda, the nitrite was found only at about
Distribution of silicate in a longitudinal section in the southeastern Atlantic Ocean. Units: μg-atoms of silicon per 20° liter.
[Full Size]
The data available on the distribution of silicate in the oceans are even fewer than those for nitrate. The Discovery (Clowes, 1938) has made numerous observations in southern latitudes, and certain of these data have been used in preparing longitudinal sections in the South Atlantic (fig. 52) and in the Indian Ocean (fig. 54). The locations of these sections are shown in fig. 44. The Carnegie obtained numerous observations in the northeastern and central Pacific and there are scattered observations from other regions, but they are inadequate for the preparation of longitudinal sections. In order to bring out similarities and differences in distribution, the silicate sections should be compared with the corresponding phosphate sections (figs. 47 and 53). It is readily seen that the vertical distribution of silicate differs from that of phosphate and nitrate, as there is no marked intermediate maximum and the concentration increases all the way down to the bottom. The reasons for this difference in the pattern of distribution have already been set forth (p. 237). In the Atlantic Ocean (fig. 52) the silicate content of the deeper water is much less in low latitudes than it is in the

In basins, the distributions of the elements discussed above may be quite different from those characteristic of the open sea. As shown in chapter IV, the conditions in basins depend upon the topography, the character of the renewal processes below sill depth, and the dissolved oxygen content (aeration) of the water. In well-aerated basins, where there is inflow at the surface, the nutrient content is usually low. For example, in the Mediterranean Sea the phosphate and nitrate below sill depth are small when compared with the concentrations in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean (Thomsen, 1931). In the western Mediterranean below about 1000 m the contents of phosphate and nitrate are constant in amounts of 0.6 μg-atoms/L and 11 μg-atoms/L, respectively, which are about one half or less of the amounts in the open Atlantic. The dense water that flows out of the Mediterranean over the sill and mixes with the intermediate waters of the North Atlantic is therefore relatively low in nutrient elements and tends to reduce the phosphate and nitrate contents of the waters at intermediate levels in the eastern North Atlantic.
In basins of low oxygen content, such as the Red Sea, the nitrate and phosphate are relatively high for reasons already stated (p. 237). In stagnant Norwegian fjords, where hydrogen sulphide is present in the water, Ström (1936) found the phosphate to be as high as 10 μg-atoms/L.

Coalition woe as Labour makes gains
2:28am Friday 4th May 2012 in National News © Press Association 2013
The coalition has endured a battering as Labour racked up heavy gains in local elections.
The Opposition claimed it was "exceeding expectations" by seizing control of key councils such as Thurrock, Harlow, Southampton, Birmingham, Great Yarmouth and Chorley.
David Cameron was also embarrassed by losses in the backyard of his Commons constituency - with Labour taking the seats of Witney Central, Witney East and Chipping Norton.
In a further blow, Nottingham, Manchester and Coventry ignored pleas from the Prime Minister and rejected proposals for an elected mayor.
The Liberal Democrats were not spared pain, suffering a further cull of their councillors as voters seemingly punished the Government for austerity measures.
However, there were rumours of a setback for Labour in Bradford, with speculation the party's council leader could have been defeated by a Respect candidate. The result would emulate George Galloway's shock success in last month's parliamentary by-election.
The Tories also pointed to a low turnout, estimated at around 30%, suggesting that "apathy" had played a significant part in the results.
Liberal Democrat foreign minister Jeremy Browne pointed to his party's success in holding Cheltenham and remaining the largest party in Cambridge, even though the authority slipped to no overall control.
He told Sky News: "I have some sort of encouragement for the Lib Dems. I'm not saying it's easy for us - it's tough being in government in midterm, making difficult decisions to get the country on its feet again. But where we have the longest track record, where we have been running councils or a dominant force on councils we have been remarkably resilient, we've held up very well."
A BBC projection of the national results suggested that Labour received 39% of the vote, the Tories 31%, Lib Dems 16% and others 14%.

By Greg Robb, MarketWatch
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Talk of a global currency war in the wake of the Bank of Japan's new policy steps is inappropriate, the chief economist of the International Monetary Fund said Wednesday.
The Bank of Japan's recent decision to commit to open-ended asset purchases has led to renewed talk of "beggar thy neighbor" currency policies. The Japanese yen has been in retreat of late, losing ground to both the U.S. dollar /quotes/zigman/4868099/realtime/sampled USDJPY +0.0050% and the euro /quotes/zigman/4868097/realtime/sampled EURJPY -0.0022% .
• Five takeaways from the jobs report
Why Fed may still hesitate to pull the taper trigger
The Federal Reserve is likely to hold off a taper in December, using the meeting to prepare the markets for a move early next year.
• U.S. gains 203,000 jobs in November
• Third-quarter growth fastest since early 2012
• Corporate profits at new record as share of GDP
Asked for comment, the IMF's Olivier Blanchard replied: "This increasing talk of currency wars is very much overblown." See related MarketWatch blog re comments by the chief of Germany's Bundesbank.
Countries must adopt the right measures to ensure their own economies get back to health, and if the IMF thinks the policies are appropriate, then the exchange-rate implications have been taken under consideration, Blanchard said.
There has been "no sea change" in capital flows to emerging markets as the biggest global economies try to recover, he noted.
And when and if the flows become too large for smaller countries, then some controls are appropriate, Blanchard added.
Earlier Wednesday, the IMF trimmed its growth forecast for 2013, citing a delayed return to recovery for the euro area. Read full report.
In an update to its world economic outlook, the IMF revised lower its 2013 growth forecasts for almost all countries from prior estimates released in October.
For Europe in particular, the change is dramatic.
The IMF now expects the euro-area economy to contract by 0.2% this year, compared with a prior forecast of a slight 0.2% increase. This would mean two straight years of contraction for the hard-hit region.
Uncertainty remains high about the ultimate resolution of the European debt crisis despite recent progress, the IMF added.
Blanchard said that global financial markets might not be pricing in the risks to the outlook.
"I think there is a reasonable argument for thinking that maybe financial markets are a bit too optimistic, but they are seeing good things in the future," Blanchard said.
"It is clear that financial markets are ahead of the real economy," Blanchard said. "The question is whether they are too much ahead, whether we are seeing a bubble," Blanchard added.

Or they just have a more expansive taste than you.
For example, a friend of mine likes like 75% of what I listen to, minus most heavier metal and anything that's quite separated from mainstream music. But he also listens to a lot of rap and country, two genres that will (mostly) never touch my ipod.
He's just got a larger taste for music.
If you hate cake but love pie, and someone you know loves both, would you stop eating pie?
Listen to music that you enjoy listening to.
Argh, I would be content with 60 right about now. I'm gonna have so much stuff I want to buy after I get more points.
Not if it means they have to sacrifice the quality of their song writing in the process. Good for them, personally... they kind of wallowed in obscurity in the US before, they deserve some success. But musically and especially lyrically, Them vs. You vs. Me was a terrible, terrible album.
Selfishly, I'd rather be listening to a good Finger Eleven album and looking forward to another, than hear Paralyzer in whatever sports bar I'm in, and know some real pandering, mediocre stuff is forthcoming.
Funny, the guy mentioning Rise Against. As a fan of their newer stuff, I guess I now know what it feels like to be on the other side of the argument.

It's the "Sellout" or "Mainstream" argument.
Folks who like stuff that's obscure often like it because it doesn't sound mainstream. If that band ever does something that is mainstream and successful, and the band's sound follows that, they get upset because the sound isn't the sound they liked and they "sold out" (rather than accept that the band may have wanted to change musical directions anyway, bands do that). Metalica underwent this around their Black Album years.
Then again, there are also people who like stuff because it's cool to like obscure stuff, and once it becomes mainstream, their like won't be as cool.
There's also a general dislike of other's success. It's why some bands have some pretty big haters despite the bands being successful (Nickleback comes to mind here on the forums, lot of hate for them despite them being successful. I don't think I've heard much of them myself).
Me, the only thing that's driven me to hate music I might have otherwise liked is having it be overplayed by someone else and forced on me. Since I rarely listen to modern music outside of TV and Rock Band, this rarely happens.

Hey Noble. Instead of having each individual song with the color code. Why don't you just bunch them up into one (like in each section you have in the OP)? It would cut down on characters used (I believe anyways) so you could essentially fit more in the OP.


text: AIP Signs on to TRANSFER Code of PracticeInstitute endorses guidelines for moving online titles between publishersMelville, NY, June 14, 2009 – The American Institute of Physics (AIP) today announced its endorsement of the TRANSFER Code of Practice, a consistent set of guidelines to help publishers ensure that journal content remains easily accessible by librarians and readers when there is a transfer between parties. TRANSFER, established under the auspices of the UK Serials Group, was developed by a collaborative working group comprised of representatives from the scholarly publishing and library communities. "AIP is completely committed to providing our subscribers with seamless, uninterrupted access to our content," said Tim Ingoldsby, AIP's Director of Strategic Initiatives and Publisher Relations. "We see the objectives of the TRANSFER initiative as completely consistent with our own, including ensuring perpetual access to our online journals and conference proceedings – an issue we recently addressed through archiving agreements with Portico and CLOCKSS." In structuring guidelines for Transfer, the working group drew upon recent successful initiatives, including PALS, PA-JISC, and COUNTER's Code of Practice for online product usage information. AIP will be compliant with COUNTER's Release 3 when it goes into effect this August. "We understand that when librarians need to make difficult acquisitions decisions, especially in the present economic climate, they're more likely to choose a publisher that addresses their concerns," said Terry Hulbert, AIP's Director of Business Development. "We hope our participation in TRANSFER is a win/win situation – libraries benefitting from minimal disruption during a transfer and publishers enjoying reduced costs from having a standardized process in place." The American Institute of Physics is a federation of 10 physical science societies representing more than 135,000 scientists, engineers, and educators and is one of the world's largest publishers of scientific information in physics. Offering full-solution publishing services for scientific societies and for similar organizations in science and engineering, AIP pursues innovation in electronic publishing of scholarly journals. AIP publishes 12 journals (many of which have the highest impact factors in their category); two magazines, including its flagship publication Physics Today; and the AIP Conference Proceedings. Its online publishing platform Scitation hosts nearly two million articles from more than 185 scholarly journals and other publications of 28 learned society publishers.
