Coastal residents are keeping an eye on the tropics now that Hurricane Sandy is out in the Atlantic and expected to move up the coast over the weekend.
WITN Chief meteorologist Marvin Daugherty says Sandy is expected to remain off the coast, but that doesn't mean we won't see impacts here.
The big impacts are expected to be ocean swells, possible beach erosion, rain and wind gusts between 30 to 40 MPH.
Gail Dawkins and her husband are visiting Atlantic Beach, but says when it comes to mother nature she wins everytime. Dawkins says, "No matter what we plan she's got her plans and you just cant fight it."
Janet Bradley has lived on the coast for 32-years and says she isn't worried. "Were use to it and it looks like this one is going to go by offshore. If it was coming right for us like it does sometimes straight on we would be a little more worried ."
Be sure to stay with WITN & witn.com for the latest updates on Hurricane Sandy.

'They Are Promoting Intoxication!': O'Reilly Blasts Denver Post's Marijuana Editor
The state of Colorado has legalized marijuana and as Bill O'Reilly discussed on Monday's O'Reilly Factor, The Denver Post has hired a new marijuana editor.
An outraged O'Reilly asked why the paper would hire someone to promote marijuana use and intoxication.
Likening it to a restaurant critic who may review a restaurant that serves wine, Juan Williams argued that marijuana is now a consumer product in Colorado and people who enjoy that product may want to read reviews.
"How about methadone? Why don't we have a methadone critic to say, 'Look, this is the best methadone,'" O'Reilly asked sarcastically.
Williams countered that in fact many papers do have health sections that discuss addiction and suggest medications for it.
O'Reilly questioned whether teenagers should really be able to read where to buy the best pot is in the state.
He said, "They are going to tell you what the best bud is […] where to buy it, how to prune it, how to roll it. This is promoting the use of an intoxicant by The Denver Post!"
Mary Katharine Ham chimed in that she believes the paper will be covering the public policy issues associated with legalized marijuana.

Speed thrills: ISU has big plans for Bass and running game
By BRIAN MASON, Courier Sports Writer
AMES -- Speed factors into just about everything Jamicah Bass does.
On the field, quickness helped him score 15 touchdowns in 14 junior college games last season and made him one of the most coveted running backs in the nation.
Outside the lines, even his name has been streamlined. Shedding unnecessary syllables in the interest of time, those around him rapidly refer to Jamicah simply as "J.J."
There was one thing that caused Bass to apply the brakes, however. The process of determining where to continue his promising football career after a successful run in the juco ranks gave the 21-year-old cause to slow down and weigh his options.
Once he settled on Iowa State, though, Bass was ready to shift back into high gear and make the most of the two years he'll have in the cardinal and gold.
"I feel blessed and I feel honored to be here," Bass said. "Going through junior college thing kind of makes you hungrier and makes you really appreciate everything that you get.
"There's no time to waste."
While he originally committed to North Carolina State following a strong prep career at Lyman High School, the Altamonte Springs, Fla., native was unable to meet NCAA eligibility requirements and saw his career take a 2,500-mile detour to El Camino College in Torrance, Calif.
All he did at El Camino was rush for 536 yards and seven touchdowns as a freshman before racking up 1,381 all-purpose yards and 15 combined touchdowns as a sophomore to lead the Warriors to a 12-2 record and a California state championship.
Those numbers caught the eye of coaches across the country and led SuperPrep to list him as the No. 2 junior college back in the nation. However, for a player who could seemingly have his pick of a number of programs in the Football Bowl Subdivision, Bass was not quick to make a selection.
It appeared as though then-head coach Dan McCarney had successfully lured Bass to Iowa State, but McCarney's decision to step down last November reopened the recruiting process. Bass then committed to Oregon State, but new Cyclones coach Gene Chizik didn't want to give up on a back who could help ISU improve a rush offense that averaged 101.8 yards per game last season -- just 99th best in the country.
Bass couldn't say no to the Cyclones twice.
"I fell in love with the coaching staff and I fell in love with my teammates when I came out on my visit," he said. "This is where I wanted to come the whole time."
So far, Bass has managed to repeat in live action what the Iowa State staff was so drawn to on film.
"He's a very gifted player," first-year offensive coordinator Robert McFarland said. "He's learning a new offense and that always slows you down, but once the ball's in his hands, all the talent we thought we were recruiting is what we've seen."
Chizik insists the No. 1 spot in the Cyclone backfield is up for grabs, but Bass has one thing the other contenders at tailback do not -- experience.
Jason Scales, who ran for more than 6,000 yards as a prep at West Des Moines Valley, has exactly one start and 176 yards under his belt after two injury-plagued years in Ames. Jason Harris, another junior, ran 11 times for 40 yards as a freshman and then switched to cornerback last season. He rejoined the tailback corps during spring drills.
Regardless of who gets the job, Chizik says there will be plenty of work to be done. While quarterback Bret Meyer and wide receiver Todd Blythe provide a reliable aerial attack for the Cyclones and are among the most seasoned components of the offensive unit -- two of only three seniors listed as offensive starters heading into fall practice -- ISU's staff is committed to the running game.
"The tailback is going to be huge in our offense," McFarland said. "We plan to run the ball."
That should give Bass plenty of opportunities to showcase the speed that has come to define him.
"I feel like I can do it all," he said. "I can go outside, I can go inside. Whatever the play calls for, I feel like I can do it."

The Up-coming Agile Digital Framework
Posted 17 Jan 2013 by Paul N / @BinaryPJ
Five things I love the sound of, one thing I don't…
Here are my initial reactions to the just-announced Agile digital framework. I went to the first info session about this last Friday (11.01.13), hosted by the Government Digital Service (GDS) and Government Procurement Service (GPS). All credit to them for opening this up to discussion.
In fact, I was really enthused by almost all of what I heard…
First of all, five things I love the sound of (in no order)
- It's a new Agile framework for digital suppliers to government. Real Agile, with a capital "A".
- The framework itself will, we're assured, be lightweight to get onto and use, it will be SME-friendly, and with "modular" T&Cs so these can be tailored to each project.
- It's got the GDS behind it who have the credibility in Agile – and the clout in government – to make this happen.
- There was an emphasis on quality as well as price – including an awareness that delivering a superb customer experience has economic (and social) benefits beyond the simple cost of project procurement.
- Physical co-location is not pre-requisite, in fact a virtualised (distributed) agile model is being actively supported (selfishly, that's really good news for us at BV, since that's how we do Agile).
In fact, there's loads that sounds great about this framework (and it's not often you hear those words).
That one thing that concerns me…
The current plan is to have a single private-sector organisation called the "neutral vendor" (NV) who will handle the Agile framework and be an interface between customers (e.g. government departments) and us suppliers.
The principle of an expert organisation handling this is a good one but my concern is, at least under current planning, that there will only be one neutral vendor.
In my experience, the public sector struggles to be effective when working in competition, while the private sector struggles to be efficient without it. So a single private-sector neutral vendor could be the worst of both worlds.
In fact, I was among several people who raised a concern about this at the meeting.
I can see there is a possible benefit in economies of scale with one supplier, and in making things dead simple for buyers. But I think there is a danger too, in creating a monopoly within the supply chain.
In fact, I wonder if GDS / GPS would consider (say) two neutral vendors, operating in competition. This could have a lot of benefits all round, for instance:
- Competition will keep both neutral vendors focused on delivering what clients want.
- It provides choice for government customers, and also for us suppliers – both of whom can look to work through either or both NVs. It may well be that these neutral vendors use different procurement and operating models, giving buyers a choice with this too.
- It avoids the "all eggs in one basket" dilemma.
- Competition means that the governance of the neutral vendors (presumably coming from GDS?) can be more lightweight / cost-effective
- There will be an incentive to deliver beyond just the agreed KPIs. While essential,targets and KPIs inevitably skew outcomes to however these are framed, which in itself is not very agile.
- The roster is easily big enough (c. £100m) to allow for economies of scale even with more than one NV.
- It gives bidders for the neutral vendor contract twice as much chance of winning, albeit for a share of the pie.
A different sort of framework
I know other frameworks (e.g. Sprint ii) operate with a single neutral vendor. But this new Agile framework is about doing things differently, so I really hope this suggestion for more than one neutral vendor is considered, and – in an ideal world – a cost/benefit created, prior to the tender.

Please note: the information below is accurate as of the London 2012 Olympic Games and will be updated in advance of the Toronto 2015 Pan American Games and Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
Jared Connaughton made his second consecutive appearance at an Olympic Games in 2012 and finished 17th in the 200m event. He was also part of the 4x100m relay team with Justyn Warner, Oluseyi Smith, and Gavin Smellie. The group finished in bronze-medal position, but was later disqualified due to a lane violation.
Connaughton competed in Beijing in 2008 and finished sixth in the 4x100m relay, and was a semifinalist in the 200m.
The native of Prince Edward Island is a three-time senior World Championship team member, a 2007 Pan American Games 4x100m relay silver medallist and a two-time time 2005 Canada Games champion (100m, 200m) – making him P.E.I's first-ever double gold medallist.
Connaughton won the 2008 Canadian title in the 200m in 20.34 seconds setting a championship record (previous record of 20.40 seconds was set in 1986 by Atlee Mahorn).

National Archives Interns Share Their Stories....
Southeast Region
I spent my graduate internship for my Masters of Library & Information Science degree at the National Archives at Atlanta, and it was a fantastic experience.
My internship project focused on records involving Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. There is a tremendous wealth of civil rights history residing in the boxes in the stacks in the National Archives at Atlanta, and I found many court cases that were packed with historic moments. I enjoyed and learned a great deal from my entire experience.
In my internship work, I have only "scratched the surface" in my research and review of the records available. Our National Archives provides us with a view of history that is truly unedited. The records bear out the evidence of how well a truly balanced judicial system works.
Anyone interested could spend 3-5 months at the National Archives at Atlanta and still not see everything related to civil rights. There is a virtual treasure trove of materials that tell an anguished and poignant story of the history of the movement across the Southeast, involving a wide cast of people and places.
My experience at NARA only solidified my commitment to education, preservation, and access as an archivist. Our unedited national history is free and available to us, just for the asking, through the records at the National Archives. There is more material at NARA than the writer, journalist, film maker, historian, legal professional, researcher, educator, genealogist or the curious could ever hope to find.

Earlier this month, 6th grade student Sierra Shoemaker was eliminated from a spelling bee in Fresno County for misspelling the world "braille," as in the reading aide for blind people. The only problem? She spelling it right, and everyone else, including the spelling bee officials and school superintendent, spelled it wrong ("braile"). It took a few weeks, but after much appealing, Sienna was finally allowed back into the competition last week.
She is quoted as saying she wanted to argue when she was told she misspelled the word, but that "You don't really argue with the word master. It's just not the thing to do. Yeah, you could get in trouble for it."
Well, sometimes the Word Master is wrong. And sometimes, no matter what tradition dictates, you have to speak up. It can be scary when everyone is telling you you're wrong. but if in your heart of hearts you know you're right, then stand up for what you believe.
Sierra got a second chance when judges finally acknowledged her mistake. She was promptly eliminated on another word, this time legitimately.
Not every fight is about winning; sometimes it's about seeing the right thing done.
So fight for your second chance, even if you're afraid you may fail again. You'll never know if you don't try!

Feb. 8, 2004
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -
By JOHN MOREDICH
Arizona's Shawntinice Polk recorded her 10th double-double of the season in a 77-59 victory over California, with Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano serving as a "guest" coach on the Wildcats' bench on Saturday.
The win was Arizona's 25th straight at home, the second-longest streak in the country, and was the 18th consecutive triumph over California. The Golden Bears have not defeated the Wildcats since a 94-66 victory on Feb. 11, 1995.
Polk had 15 points and 14 rebounds to lead Arizona (18-5,10-2) and just missed a quadruple-double with a eight blocked shots and a career-high eight assists. Aimee Grzyb and Dee-Dee Wheeler had 16 and 15 points, respectively.
California's Nihan Anaz had 17 points to lead the Bears (9-13, 2-11).
Arizona had a pair of 12-2 spurts to pull comfortably ahead. The Wildcats led 42-29 before erupting in the opening minutes of the second half.
Natalie Jones started the surge with a three-pointer. Grzyb followed with a jumper for a 47-29 lead with 16:09 left. California's LaTasha O'Keith countered with a field goal before Arizona's Shannon Hobson, Danielle Adefeso and Grzyb combined to score six straight to take a 23-point lead with 12:35 left.
California scored 13 straight points to close to within 59-49 with 8:26 remaining, but Arizona pulled away with a Grzyb three-pointer with 6:25 on the clock.
Arizona led 19-18 in the first half before Polk and Wheeler connected on jumpers and Grzyb made a three-pointer to prompt a 12-2 spurt for a 31-20 lead.
Watching on Arizona's bench was Napolitano, who was also in the Wildcats' locker room before and after the game. She was the honorary Master of Ceremonies for a halftime celebration of National Girls & Women in Sports Day.
The Wildcats are 2-0 with Napolitano as an Arizona guest coach. They defeated Washington State, 80-50, last season.
Other Notes:
The Bears held their last lead of the game at 17-16 with 12:37 to play.
Cal's bench performed well, tallying 23 of the Bears' 59 points. The Wildcats' bench scored only 14 points.
Olga Volkova led Cal in rebounding with seven and added four points and two steals.
Head coach Caren Horstmeyer on the team's second-half comeback
"We started to attack in transition, and we didn't let them get offensive boards. Second thing, we're attacking, and we knew we were in the bonus. We were saying, 'go to the hole.' Now, we get free throws. All of the sudden, we get pumped up.
Horstmeyer on the team mixing up its defenses
"The good thing for us is that we're starting to play a few more defenses, and down the road that's going to be a good thing for us."
Horstmeyer on Anaz
"The player that ultimately decided she needed to take over tonight was Nihan. She did, and this was the best she has played in five or six games. The bottom line is that we needed Nihan to score. She did that and rallied us from a scoring perspective and the team rallied behind her."

The Euclid Consortium (EC) is an organisation that brings together teams of researchers in theoretical physics, particle physics, astrophysics and space astronomy, and also engineers, technicians, and management and administrative staffs working in public research laboratories and contributing to the Euclid mission. Together with the European Space Agency (ESA) and aerospace industry they are part of the Euclid Collaboration.
The EC has been selected by ESA in July 2012 as the single official scientific consortium in charge of leading the scientific exploitation of the mission until completion. It is funded by national space agencies and national research organizations and led by the Euclid Consortium Lead (ECL) and a Euclid Consortium Board (ECB). The ECL and ECB are the primary contact points with ESA and with the Euclid Consortium members.
The EC is responsible of the definitions of the scientific goals, the mission concept, the science requirements and the survey. It is also in charge of the design, construction, tests, integration and delivery to ESA of the imaging and spectroscopic instruments VIS and NISP. The Euclid Consortium Science Ground Segment (EC SGS) is responsible of the design, development tests, integration and operation of the data processing tools, pipelines and data centers. It shares with the EC Science Working Groups (SWG) the responsibility of the scientific production and delivery of Euclid data releases, and their scientific analysis and interpretation. The EC COMS group organises and coordinates all EC communication activities.
The EC is currently composed of the early teams that imagined, designed and proposed the Euclid mission submitted to the ESA Cosmic Vision program selection as well as new institutes that are now contributing to the implementation phase. To date 14 European countries contribute to EC activities (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Switzerland and United Kingdom). NASA and few US laboratories are also members of the Euclid Consortium.
In total, about 1200 members are registered in the EC, of which more than 750 are researchers in astrophysics, cosmology, theoretical physics and particle physics. More than 120 laboratories covering all fields in cosmology, theoretical physics, high energy, particle physics and space science that are relevant for the Euclid missions are contributing to Euclid.
The Euclid Consortium meets once a year for its annual Euclid Consortium Meeting. The pictures below show the EC members attending the last 5 meetings.

That's a big bus. And where do you show it off? In Montgomery County, at the county's agricultural fair. That's where county transit authorities are displaying an $850,000, 60-foot articulated bus, part of what may become a fleet of new commuter buses for the county, according to WAMU.
Montgomery County is aiming to add a fleet of upgraded buses in its plan — years from now — to build an 80-mile bus rapid transit network, according to Bill Griffiths, who's in charge of the county's bus fleet.
"The beauty of buses is, this is a basic bus and this is configured for maximum seating capacity. With the bus rapid transit program we will be able to configure this any way we want it, including bike racks internally and more priority seating for ADA," Griffiths told WAMU.
Two bus rapid transit corridors are at the top of the list, including routes 355 and 29.

MEC Design Tunes Mercedes-Benz S-Class
The current model of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is considered to be the best ultra-luxury sedan in the market. It merges elegance with style through an unrivalled affluence in the segment. In fact, some may considered it too opulent that it can only be rivaled by premium private jets, and puts the S-Class up in the pedestal of luxury in this segment. While these points may intimidate mere mortals, it seems MEC Design is taking it all in a stride as it revealed an understated design package for the luxury vehicle as shown on a report from gtspirit.com.

Hillary Clinton on Becoming a First-Time Grandmother (VIDEO)
Set aside all the speculation that Hillary Clinton will be making a run for President in 2016, and let's focus on the new title we know she'll have for sure within the next handful of months: grandma!
Hillary's only child, 34-year-old Chelsea, announced her first pregnancy news back in mid-April and it sounds like both of her high-powered parents couldn't be more thrilled with the news. Hillary recently invited People magazine into her home for the first time since husband Bill ended his time as POTUS in January 2001, and the D.C. titan was uncharacteristically candid about her personal life.
We won't go so far as to claim Hillary would veto a presidential campaign because of a new baby — would the question even come up if it was a grandfather-to-be we were talking about? — but she does say her new role is on her mind.
"I know I have a decision to make," she tells the magazine, "but part of what I've been thinking about is everything I'm interested in and everything I enjoy doing — and with the extra added joy of 'I'm about to become a grandmother,' I want to live in the moment. At the same time I am concerned about what I see happening in the country and in the world."
Since stepping down as Secretary of State last year, Hillary says she's enjoyed the simpler things in life including TV. She and Bill "totally binge-watched" the first season of House of Cards, a viewing choice on par with Barack Obama winding down to Homeland. But, you know, to each his own.

Battery issue...
Hi guys and gals,
Slight dilemma, Googled and nada so here I am. Have a D4 and MH-26, bought a BT-A10 direct from Japan as a recent D700 purchase came with a genuine EN-EL4a but no charger for it. Pop EN-EL4a into BT-A10 adapter and into MH-26 and something odd happens, Calibration and Chamber light flash continuously.
As I said, I have Googled this combo but to no avail, just wondered if anyone here could shed any light. Have left in situ for an hour or so and the EN-EL4a seems no more charged than when I first inserted it.
Many thanks in advance,

Lowbuck Tools Metal Machine - Cool ToolsWritten by on December 9, 2007 Building The Williams Lowbuck Tools Metal Machine
Last month, we took a look at the Metal Machine from Williams Lowbuck Tools and I have to tell ya, I was impressed as heck. As a matter of fact, I hit my local steel supply house and bought the material needed to build my own interpretation of Dave William's C-throat the same day I went by his shop and saw the machine for the first time. I just had to add the Metal Machine to my home shop's tool collection.
Now, for those who may have missed last month's column, here's a bit of a review: I previously swung by Williams Lowbuck Tools to meet Dave Williams and take a look at the selection of metalworking tools he's made his reputation designing, building, and selling since 1978. Shortly after arriving, Dave led me over to a corner of the shop and lifted a sheet draped over his latest creation-the Metal Machine.
The Metal Machine is actually a tool that can perform any or all of 10 different processes. By this I mean its one central fixture has the capability of being mounted with 10 different tool attachments (Dave calls them heads), each performing a different metalworking task. These heads-an English wheel, a planishing hammer, a sheetmetal shear, a louver press, a box and pan brake, a sheetmetal punch, a bead roller, a shrinker/ stretcher, and radius and angle-forming die assemblies-all mount to a large floor-standing C-throat assembly akin to a miniature English wheel. The really unique thing about the Metal Machine is that instead of purchasing a rather large and heavy C-throat assembly and having it shipped to your location, Williams Lowbuck Tools provides you with the main component, the master front faceplate, along with instructions on how to fabricate the balance of the C-throat yourself-saving Dave a lot of work, and you a bunch of money.
OK, now that we're all on the same page, today I'll give you a look at the C-throat I made using Dave's front faceplate. It's obviously not as professional-looking as Dave's, but I'm pretty sure it'll do the job and accept the tool heads of my choice from the Williams Lowbuck Tools selection (the louver punch in particular). So, take a look at mine, and then start planning your own because a fully equipped Metal Machine from Williams Lowbuck Tools is a perfect addition to anyone's hobby or hot rod shop.
Oh yeah, keep your eyes peeled, as I'm going to spend some time with Dave in the near future and have him show us how to go about using a selection of Metal Machine tool heads in later issues.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
You'll need about 10 or 11 feet of 2x4x1/4-inch rectangular tubing to make your C-throat (Dave's C-throat is about 25 inches deep)I began by measuring out a pair of 30-inch-long sections of tubing. I used the extra length because I'll be gusseting the rear upright portion of the C-throat that'll actually reduce the throat by the thickness of the gusset.Next, I cut the rear upright section of tubing so the finished vertical inside opening measured 11 1/2 inches.Using the same saw, I then mitered one end of each upper and lower tubing section at about 45 degrees.I then cut a trio of tubing sections (and forgot to photograph it) to act as a gusset to strengthen the C-throat to reduce the amount of flex or deflection the C-throat will experience under load.
When I was sure all was right, I clamped the assembly to hold everything in place while I finish-welded the assembly.Then I located and attached the slugs Williams supplies (as an option) to the ends of the C-throat sections.The next step is to mount the faceplate assembly. Dave stresses that it's important all welding on the C-throat assembly be completed and the unit cool before the attachment of the faceplate.Once I was sure all was kosher, I tacked the faceplate into place, let it cool for a while, and then went back and finish-welded it to the C-throat.With the faceplate in place (and the welds cooled), the next step was to trim out the center section, thus opening up the front of the throat.

Title of Thesis
Application Of Isotope & Hydrochemical Techniques To Address
Marine Coastal Pollution Along Karachi Coast-Pakistan
Author(s)AZHAR MASHIAT
AbstractIn this study,
stable isotopes of carbon (δ13C), sulfur (δ34S), oxygen (δ18O),
hydrogen (δ2H), nitrogen (δ15N) and radioactive isotope of hydrogen
(tritium) have been applied in combination with conventional
techniques (physiochemical and biological) to investigate Karachi
Coastal water pollution due to Layari and Malir rivers, which mainly
carry Karachi Metropolitan domestic and industrial wastewater, and
to determine the effect of seawater on the aquifer system of the
Physico-chemical (pH, electrical conductivity and turbidity),
biological (fecal coliform), heavy metal and stable isotope (carbon
and sulfur) characteristics of Layari and Malir rivers water,
Karachi coastal waters and sea sediments showed that Karachi
Metropolitan domestic sewage and industrial effluents were the main
source of coastal water pollution, and coastal water of Manora
Channel was heavily polluted as compared to water of southeast
coastal area of Karachi. However, the northwest coastal water was
marginally polluted. Turbidity and fecal coliform population levels
in seawater of Manora Channel and some locations along southeast
coast (Ghizri area and Ibrahim Haideri) were found above the WHO
recommended threshold limits set for seawater bathing.
Heavy metal contents of Manora Channel and southeast coastal waters
were higher than the Swedish guidelines for the quality of seawater.
In contrary, heavy metal concentrations in coastal sediments were
found to be significantly higher than that of seawater. Mn and Ni
contents in sediments of entire coast (Manora Channel, southeast and
northwest coast) were above USEPA guidelines except at Buleji site,
whereas Cr, Zn and Cu levels only in Manora Channel sediments were
higher than USEPA guidelines. The higher heavy metal contents of
Manora Channel water and sediments can be attributed to an influx of
a major portion of untreated industrial and/or domestic wastewater.
Layari and Malir rivers water was observed to be depleted in
δ13C(TDIC) and δ34S which showed heavy influx of sewage into these
rivers. Manora Channel water was also depleted in δ13CTDIC and δ34S
during low tide environment showing a large scale domestic
wastewater mixing with seawater. Southeast coastal water was found
to be slightly enriched in δ13C(TDIC) and δ34S and exhibited mixing
of relatively small quantity of sewage with the seawater as compared
to Manora channel. δ13C(TDIC) and δ34S contents of northwest coastal
water were close to the values meant for normal seawater.
δ13C and δ15N contents of Karachi coastal seaweed ranged from -31.1
to -4.9 ‰ PDB and 6.1 to 17.8 ‰ Air, respectively. Average δ15N
values (10.2 ‰ Air) of Ulva spp. collected from non polluted
northwest coast was higher as compared to average δ15N contents (8.0
‰ Air) of Ulva from Manora Channel suggesting that nitrogen isotopic
ratios of Ulva spp. could be a good indicator of sewage pollution.
The results of a two component isotope mass balance equation using
δ13C and δ34S values for Layari and Malir rivers and coastal water
indicated that tide conditions and distance of sampling site from
the pollution source were the main factors to control transport and
dissemination of Layari river pollution into Manora Channel. High
tide environment slowed down the Layari river water mixing with
seawater coupled with a gradual decrease in pollution levels from
Layari river out fall zone to Manora Lighthouse.
Physico-chemical characteristics of groundwater showed that shallow
aquifer system was not generally affected by seawater intrusion.
Deep groundwater was observed to be moderately (chloride contents
1000- 2000 ppm) to highly saline (chloride contents > 2000 ppm).
However, shallow and deep well located in vicinity of the Malir and
Layari rivers showed fecal coliform contamination which rendered
their water unfit for drinking.
An anion based piper diagram showed predomination of chloride and
bicarbonate ions relative to sulfate (SO4-2) ions in coastal
groundwater. It was inferred from Piper diagram that shallow aquifer
system was predominantly replenished by freshwater (mainly Layari
and Malir rivers basin), while salinity of deep aquifer owes to the
seawater intrusion or entrapped salinity. The δ18O composition of
groundwater and δ2H vs. δ18O relationship for groundwater of coastal
aquifer also indicated that shallow aquifer system was predominantly
recharged through fresh water sources. Salinity of deep aquifer
seemed to originate from seawater intrusion and/or from entrapped
salinity. These finding were strongly endorsed by anion and stable
isotope interpretations such as Cl-concentration vs δ18O, Cl-/HCO3
-1 ratio vs δ18O values and SO4-2 contents against SO4-2/Cl- ratio
of shallow and deep aquifers.
The present study has demonstrated that stable isotopes (δ13C, δ15N,
δ34S, δ2H and δ18O) can be effectively used to monitor the marine
pollution and to investigate origin of salinity in the coastal
aquifer. This study may also provide a precise and accurate isotopic
database for researchers interested in seawater pollution and its
effect on benthic life.

Disney Stops Miramax From Releasing Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 911"
by Eugene Hernandez
The Walt Disney Company will not allow its specialty division, Miramax Films, to distribute Michael Moore's anticipated new documentary "Fahrenheit 911," the director said early today. Moore announced the news to his large Internet audience with a letter entitled, "Disney Has Blocked the Distribution of My New Film." The movie, which was financed by Miramax, is set to have its world premiere later this month at the Cannes Film Festival.
Moore indicated, on his website, that yesterday he was informed that Disney would not allow Miramax to distribute the new documentary that takes aim at the Bush administration. Moore has said that the film includes an exploration of links between President Bush and Osama bin Laden's family, as well as criticism of the war in Iraq. Moore has also indicated his intention to have the new film in U.S. theaters before the upcoming presidential election, perhaps as early as this summer.
Citing an article in today's New York Times, Michael Moore added that Disney's reason for the decision is to preserve the tax breaks that it receives from the state of Florida and President Bush's brother, Florida Governor Jeb Bush.
During a recent discussion about the movie at the Full Frame Documentary Festival, Moore indicated that Mel Gibson's Icon Productions dropped its funding of the movie after getting a warning call from the White House. Miramax later stepped in with money for Moore to make the film, with what insiders have said included an option to distribute the movie.
"The whole story behind this (and other attempts) to kill our movie will be told in more detail as the days and weeks go on," wrote Moore on his website. "For nearly a year, this struggle has been a lesson in just how difficult it is in this country to create a piece of art that might upset those in charge (well, OK, sorry -- it WILL upset them...big time. Did I mention it's a comedy?)." Continuing, Moore added, "All I can say is, thank God for Harvey Weinstein and Miramax who have stood by me during the entire production of this movie."
Miramax spokesperson Matthew Hiltzik issued a statement to the New York Times, saying, "We're discussing the issue with Disney. We're looking at all of our options and look forward to resolving this amicably."
"There is much more to tell," noted Moore in his letter today, adding that he is currently completing lab work on the print of the film in preparation for the debut in Cannes. "I will tell you this," he added in his letter, "Some people may be afraid of this movie because of what it will show. But there's nothing they can do about it now because it's done, it's awesome, and if I have anything to say about it, you'll see it this summer -- because, after all, it is a free country."

Hey guys,

 with the merge of #2333/#2687, what's the status for using the
 slideshow mode? I'm teaching a workshop next week in Norway and I'm
 willing to try to do the whole thing as notebooks, but I couldn't find
 the PR for the actual slideshow usage (Only the toolbar seems to be
 working, not the actual switching into slideshow mode. Should I merge
 Matthias' old branch? I figured that probably doesn't work quite
 right now...

 Sorry for being so out of the loop, I've been dealing with a few
 remaining local issues... Once this long workshop is over, gears are
 switching completely back into IPython (at last, as being away now
 that we have the resources is driving me positively mad).

 thanks!

Hi there im looking to organise a charity bike ride and am after some advice. I have never done anything like this before so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Bit of story about the reason for this and the reason for the start and finish points. my cousin was in the army and recently lost his life out in afghanistan. I am looking to cycle from his house were he lived in holmfirth huddesfield in the UK. finishing at the barracks were he was based in wiltshire Battlesbury Barracks, Warminster, BA12 9DT.
Has anyone any advice about planning a route were to stay and whether a road route would be better than a rural route?

I have successfully installed, activated and upgraded Kontakt 5.0.2 from within Komplete 8 without mishap. It works fine. It is installed in Standalone mode. I have Cubase 5.5.2 as my DAW. I want to integrate K5 as a VST plug-in to C5. I find the C5 manual rather confusing and IT in general baffling. I have an i7 950 3.06GHz 24GB Win 7+64 bit PC. K5 is on my OS drive. Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm sure the answer is fairly straightforward. Regards, Patrick
