Red Hat Developer Studio Beta Released
Red Hat Linux has just released a beta version of its Red Hat Developer Studio. The developer environment, which is based on Eclipse, is targeted at facilitating the development of new applications for Red Hat solutions, and migrating existing applications.
According to Red Hat, the integrated development environment (IDE) targets Jboss middleware and enterprise distribution, and has been released fully under Open Source licenses
Besides Red Hat's own core products, offers by Red Hat's strategic partner Exadel will also be offered to developers. The combination of in-house middleware with Exadel tools should help to facilitate the development of SOA components and Web 2.0 applications. The tools include Exadel Studio Pro, the RichFaces framework for development of Java Server Faces (JSF), and the Ajax4jsf Framework for integration of Ajax technologies with JSF applications. Red Hat Studio also gives developers a Java environment with WYSIWYG functionality.
Developer Studio is available for Linux and Windows and can be downloaded here. Red Hat will be publishing the final version, which should be available this summer, under GPLv2. Distribution will use subscription channels.

A world filled with a deadly repulsion
Hate grows like a sickly disease of revoltion
People walk around without a sane soul
Their futures are all seen in a poisonous bowl
I'm dismayed by the power of their hate
I'm frightened for the life that holds the key to the gate
An endless love, suddenly seizing to exist
A hate, waiting at the door to persist

nice place
Extremely nice place, and larger than the pictures make it appear. Good beach, nice pool. A little far from the H-wood boardwalk, but the trolley stops right across the street and at the Westin up the street. It's about a mile from the super Walmart on Hallandale, so even if you don't have a car, you can do food shopping. If you happen to speak French, there are lots of books and videos to entertain yourself with. I would definitely stay there again.
Activity and Interests
Activities and Attractions
The Westin Diplomat Resort and Spa is next door. With boating and
aquatic activities accross the street at Nikki marina, and other
popular attractions as close as the Hollywood beach broadwalk, there
is something fun to do at every turn. Gulfstream Horse Racing Park,
Hollywood Greyhound Track and Dania Jai-Alai are located at a short
distance. Minutes away from Harrison Street's buzzing art and music
scene, with Young Circle featuring the Hollywood Art and Design
District. A mix of eclectic boutiques, theaters, movies, clubs,
downtown Hollywood is rich in activities and cultural events.

Well we could provide the Tomcat load by many ways but I rather like keep them compatible with AJP13 : - Add a new message from jk to tomcat, like the CPING/CPONG, to get the expect load on tomcat. jk could decide to send this information packet each X requests. - Add a custom header in reply but this one should be decoded by jk in response and removed from browser response. The first method is simpler, the second may be cleaner and more responsive since we could get the information in real time, ie at each reply On Thu, 10 Feb 2005 08:28:43 +0100, Mladen Turk <email@example.com> wrote: > Albrecht Rieger wrote: > > hi Mladen, > > > > are you able to tell me, how to get rid of all this apache and tomcat > > emails I get and I do definitely NOT want ? > > > > Sure, unsibscribe from the Tomcat Developer List. > You or someone that is using your account subscribed to this list. > > Here is how-to: > http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail2.html#Tomcat > > Regards, > Mladen. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com > For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

In her introduction to A Short History of Cahiers du Cinéma, Emilie Bickerton argues that the French film journal inaugurated "the last Modernist project", and that without it, cinema "would certainly mean less to us today".
Strong claims, perhaps, but this compelling book goes a long way towards justifying them.
Founded in 1951, Cahiers became the mouthpiece for a cabal of upstart cineastes, Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut among them, who defended the artistic credentials of modern film. They established a canon of great directors whom they famously characterised as "auteurs", and took aim at any fusty old critic who dared to disagree. As Truffaut put it in a typical salvo: "You can refute [Howard] Hawks in the name of [Nicholas] Ray, but to anyone who would reject them both, I would say this: stop going to the cinema."
These early contributors eventually left to make their own films but Cahiers continued to be influential into the Seventies – despite adopting a radical leftist political stance and high-flown academic register. When the Eighties arrived, the magazine, like so much else, declined into vapidity. Bickerton laments its demise, but in displaying the sort of iconoclastic wit that might have graced Cahiers in its heyday, her writing is eloquent proof that intelligent, forthright film criticism lives on.

With Dan Wilton behind the camera, European label Smith-Wykes premieres its 2014 fall/winter lookbook. Presenting its subjective view of modern masculinity, the adjacent collection does an excellent job in helping to build a comprehensive wardrobe where each piece pairs well one another. Whether its the heavy wool blazer complementing the brand's "dazzle" print flat-iron trousers in the first slide, or the wool raglan sleeve overcoat, lambskin sweater and pleated cotton trousers in the fifth image. It's all a wonderful blend of classically refined fashion found in London and Paris – the two cities in which Smith-Wykes calls home.

Book Review - Jackie K Cooper
NIGHT SCHOOL by Lee Child
A few years ago I read my first Lee Child novel on the recommendation of a f...
Read Whole Story
You can't judge a book by the superlatives on the cover. The extraordinary praise is, well--sorry Stephen King, Michael Connelly, Don Winslow, and Lee...
Jon Land is the prolific author of more than thirty-six books. His thriller novels include the Caitlin Strong series about a fifth-generation Texas Ranger, and the Ben Kamal and Danielle Barnea books about a Palestinian detective and an Israeli chief inspector of police.
Every time I think I know what kind of a story an idea will turn into before I write it, I am wrong. I never really know what a story will be until I meet it on the blank page.
For those of us who come to the series at this late date it appears a lot of information about Mr. Reacher has already been disclosed and the reader is supposed to know it. With this limitation a new reader will find this book thin on characterization but heavy on plot.
Child has a successful formula, which usually introduces the reader to the villain from the start. Make Me is a total mystery, and by page 200 I had no idea what was happening, but I was unable to put the book down or shake a terrible sense of foreboding.
Thrillerfest honored Nelson DeMille with its Grandmaster award this year and I sat down with him to discuss his new book, Radiant Angel.
Titles by veteran authors like Harlan Coben and John Green populate this week's Digital Book World Ebook Best-Seller List, while one first-time author's hit title hangs on at No. 1.
Lisa Gardner is the New York Times bestselling author of crime thrillers with more than 22 million books in print. As Lisa Gardner, she's written an FBI Profiler series, as well as the Detective D.D. Warren series, and standalone novels. As Alicia Scott, she's written romance novels.
Even though Donna Tartt's novel drops off the list this week, Hachette makes a somewhat stronger showing than they have in some time, with two titles of its titles landing within the top ten.
Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl extends its tenure atop the Digital Book World Ebook Best-Seller List for a second week running, as a film adaptation makes its way to theaters this Friday.
The impact of media tie-ins on best-selling ebooks makes its presence felt even more strongly this week.
17 of the titles on this week's list belong to the world's largest trade publisher. A winning combination of factors, from movie tie-ins and big-name authors to popular reissues, is helping push Penguin Random House's titles into readers' hands and up the rankings.
The title that jumped six spots this week to unseat Gayle Forman's novel is Personal: A Jack Reacher Novel by Lee Child, and it, too, is published by Penguin Random House.
Gayle Forman's If I Stay rounds out its fifth week in the No. 1 spot, after ending The Fault in Our Stars's twelve-week run. In other words, it's been some time since other publishers significantly edged out Penguin Random House titles on the best-seller list.
Jack Reacher can opine on any subject, and in the hands of a lesser writer he could be a blowhard, but Child continues to make him interesting, informative and truly compelling.
Penguin Random House has had a very good summer (as well as a very good year--so far, anyway) when it comes to best-selling ebooks.
All it takes is a quick glance at the Digital Book World Ebook Best-Seller List on any given week to see how a TV or movie adaptation boosts best-selling ebook sales. But once in a while the effect is especially pronounced.
Both Gayle Forman's novel and John Green's are published by Penguin Random House, the world's largest trade publisher. This week, half of the top 25 titles belong to Penguin Random House, many of them in the list's upper reaches.
Pushing John Green's The Fault in Our Stars aside in order to assume the No. 1 rank Green's novel held for twelve straight weeks, If I Stay is also a title buoyed up by aggressive promotional efforts ahead of the August 22 release of a film adaptation based on the novel.
The International Thriller Writers motto is "Innovate Never Imitate," and part of the organization's mission statement "is to provide a way for successful, bestselling authors to help debut and midlist authors advance their careers."
Joseph Finder has a background every thriller novelist would love to have. He spent his early childhood living around the world.
In 2013, more than 400 e-book singles were published. So what were the best of the bunch that hit digital retail shelves over the past 12 months?
The potential for violence lives within all of us, and I'm no exception. Violence in my novels is contrived--it's pure fiction--but reflects a core truth about human nature. It's never meant to be gratuitous, but rather serves the story.
Raymond Khoury is the bestselling author of several novels, including The Last Templar. Born in Lebanon, Raymond and his family were evacuated from Beirut's civil war, and fled to New York when he was 14.

'Paper Dolls'
As Israel grows rapidly more polyglot, hostility toward gays has lightened up. Only a little, thoughas is painfully evident from Tomer Heymann's tender study of gender-transitioning Filipino men who, ostracized by family and community in their native country, come to Israel as guest workers and care for elderly, mostly Orthodox Jewish men. Like foreign workers everywhere, they do indispensable jobs no one else wants to do, while remaining marginalized and vulnerable to exploitation. Still, Paper Dolls, which tracks a group of these workers through their day jobs and drag act, is far from a chronicle of misery. Nor is it dispassionate: Observing the close relationships they develop with clients, the openly gay Heymann becomes, both hilariously and wistfully, part of a community that possesses in spades what's missing in his own lifethe gift of happiness and living well in unfriendly surroundings.

Please Be Seated
September 3rd, 2014
There was enough man to go around.
(submitted by Angel)
I don't even want to know.
Is this the cover for the latest VC Andrews book?
c'mon, Angel, this cries out for the backstory
I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for this picture. I just can't think of any.
Big hair and body hair. Shades of western attire. What an 80s combo. Siblings? Menage de Twa? You can't help but wonder why they willingly ended up in such a pose.
80s Skinemax promo shot, definitely.
What on earth was the point behind that photo? LOL
The lady in white looks like the mad scientist who built this artificial man in her lab for her extremely shy, yet beautiful daughter who grew up on their hidden secret pacific island without any male companionship or role model.
Could make a great 80's movie!!
Hahaha!! So true!
Wow, not for us to wonder why. But I am wondering why. We need a background story on this one. Naked brother, multiple wives, boss and employees what?
Sisterwives gone wild
I was thinking the same things, Erin!

Please join us in welcoming Oscar P. Vance, Jr., President of Vance Investigations and Corporate Solutions, Inc. (VICS) as our February guest speaker. Rather than retiring after nearly five decades as a Montgomery County criminal investigator, Chief Detective Vance founded a private investigative agency that offers services in all phases of information gathering, observation, and evidentiary reporting. Last year, he visited the Delaware Valley Sisters in Crime chapter to discuss forensic hypnosis. This month, he will update us on that topic and focus on developments in surveillance.
Mr. Vance earned a BA in Criminal Justice / Law Enforcement Administration from LaSalle College and an MS in Criminal Justice from West Chester University. He attended the FBI Academy and remains a member of the FBI National Academy. He also attended the Law Enforcement Forensic Hypnosis Institute and is a certified Hypnosis Investigator and Instructor.
Past Speakers
January 21, 2017:
Please join us at our January meeting when we welcome Howard Silverstone, Director of Forensic Resolutions, Inc., as our guest speaker. Mr. Silverstone has concentrated his practice in the field of forensic accounting since 1985.

Mr. Silverstone has been quoted in many national and international publications and has appeared in the media both in the United States and the United Kingdom. He has co-authored three books on fraud and forensic accounting and has written many articles on fraud and related subjects for a variety of publications. He has presented various programs to the legal, accounting, and insurance industries on the calculation of damages in financial disputes, corporate fraud, and other financial matters. As indicated by the title of his book, Forensic Accounting and Fraud Investigation for Non-Experts, he is also experienced in talking about his field to those in other professions.
November 19, 2016: Please join us at our November meeting when we welcome Terry Ruggles as our guest speaker. Mr. Ruggles is a familiar figure from his coverage of major news stories at home and around the world for WCAU. He will provide insight into the practices, ethics, and pitfalls of a profession that characters in mystery fiction might engage in or encounter. Mr. Ruggles will share tales of mysteries, solved and unsolved, from a career that started at the age of seventeen, when he went to work (for no pay) at an Ohio radio station as a copy boy. In 1974, after a stint as anchor and producer at WZZM-TV Grand Rapids, Michigan, he moved to WCAU and the Philadelphia area where he and his wife Maryjane raised their two children. In 1978, he was awarded the Pennsylvania State Police Meritorious Citizen Award for helping negotiate a hostage situation on Christmas Eve at Delaware County Prison. We look forward to hearing about his encounters with the types of characters who populate the books that Sisters in Crime members create and enjoy.
October 15, 2016: Please join us at our October meeting when we welcome Kimberlee Sue Moran, Assistant Program Director, Masters of Forensic Science Program at Arcadia University as our guest speaker.

Nunsmere Hall Hotel
An excellent hotel with amazing rooms.
wedding reception
Charming but could be improved
We recently stayed at Nunsmere to attend a wedding nearby, the exterior of the hotel is beautiful and impressive, the welcome and customer service also excellent.
Our suite was clean, spacious and charming with excellent facilities. The bar, dining and lounge areas are all welcoming and comfortable. The bar is open late, which is great if you want a nightcap, however they did not have any of the spirits I requested, the bottles were empty. The decor of the hotel is very dated and overall could do with a revamp - in keeping with the hotels age and charm, however it was all clean, tidy and good quality .

Nunsmere Hall Hotel
Excellent room (Yew) very clean and quiet with fabulous views over the delightful gardens.
Birthday treat
Thoroughly enjoyed our 1 night stay at this hotel very high standard throughout and all staff members very pleasant and helpful only downside I can think of was the pillows were too soft for me and the coffee machine and kettle could do with linger flex so as not to have to move sideboard to plug in would definitely return here in the future
We thought the room was very good, it was enormous and we liked the fact that the furnishings were old fashioned but of good quality.
Unfortunately it rained the day we were there or we would have liked to have walked round the gardens which looked really nice and to have seen the lake. We did think that the breakfast was pricey but decided to treat ourselves and the service was good and the meal was enjoyable and fulfilling. We found the staff were very helpful and enjoyed our stay.

Almost perfect
Lovely peaceful setting away from the road ...country house with lounge, bar, dining room and library.
Nicely appointed, well-sized rooms. Friendly and attentive staff. Great food and good wine list. Only negative... Portrait of Margaret Thatcher in the lounge as soon as you arrive ?!!!

Please serve me! Please take my order!
I like Nunsmere and have stayed several times but on this occasion my experience was very poor.
I had to give up on breakfast because after waiting for someone to take my order, which didn't happen I had to wonder up to reception to ask if someone could come and take my breakfast order. Eventually I just ran out of time and had to just have a croissant. This compounded my experience the night before because I waited at the bar for a long time and then had to wonder around the ground floor trying to find someone to serve me. The thing is in both instances I was the only customer so I can't put it down to the staff being too busy. I would have liked a second drink but gave up any hope of being served.

Very Pleasant stay in Quirky Lakeside hotel
We stayed overnight before a working day in Hartford.
Some reviews were rather down on a hotel which was old fashioned yet full of character. As for the staff, they couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. There was some confusion about free breakfast which was advertised on trip advisor. I would recommend that visitors check this out in advance, however, the manager was able to sort this out with a minimum of fuss. The breakfast was perfect even though the restaurant was empty-perhaps we were early birds. The rooms have horticultural names, ours, Verbena, was on the 3rd floor and had attic style windows in a sloping roof overlooking the gardens toward the lake which surrounds the hotel. It was a generous size but the overhanging roof required some negotiating when getting in and out of bed. The bathroom was a good size with bath and integral large shower. No sign of the advertised fluffy bathrobe and slippers though. I'm sure the staff would have assisted if this had been a major concern. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in these somewhat quirky surroundings and would recommend it to others. With thanks to the ever pleasant and accommodating staff.

There's something inescapably right about a Swedish car with a set of skis on its roof. It doesn't matter if it's a Jurassic-era Volvo Amazon, a Saab 900 Turbo, or even a Koenigsegg Agera R. Surely it's some sort of Scandinavian birthright... right along with immaculate complexion. The latest to carry on that tradition in fine form? The Volvo Concept XC Coupe, just released at this week's Detroit Auto Show.
Volvo returns to profitability

Ford sold Volvo to Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Limited in 2010. Just two years later, Geely announced an $11-billion investment in the Swedish carmaker, its charismatic fugleman Li Shifu saying, "We want to revive Volvo and give the brand its strength back." Two years later, after having introduced the Concept XC Coupe at the Detroit Auto Show this week, Volvo CEO Håkan Samuelsson (above, second from right) declared the company profitable again after a solid 2013 and predicted a positive

Tell us about your previous working situation and how you discovered Etsy.
During the summer of 2010 I was working as assistant manager in a shop in Lawrence, Kansas where I had been living and going to school at KU. I'd first discovered Etsy in 2007 while working in a student position at the Spencer Museum of Art, but didn't get really involved with it at the time.
I've always been really into art whether I was painting, drawing, trying to have a basic understanding of print making, or throwing on the wheel. While working at the Spencer I noticed some bottle cap pins we were selling in the gift shop that had resin-coated collages inside. My immediate thought was how cool they were and that I could do exactly that but with tiny paintings. I played around with the idea a bit and started listing a few on Etsy in May of 2010.
The following month, the business I had been working at closed. My husband and I, still in our first year of marriage, weren't quite sure what we wanted to do since jobs in the area were slim. At the time, I only had 14 sales, so relying on my shop wasn't a viable option. When my parents offered us a place with them in Atlanta, Georgia, we took the opportunity and moved out east. For the first two months, we hunted for jobs during the day and I created in the evening. As sales increased, I began to focus more and more energy on my shop and less on the job hunt. My husband, Jordan, began helping as well by keeping the books and shipping. By November, we'd managed to pull everything together and were making a steady enough income to strictly focus on our little business!
What steps did you take to prepare for transitioning into full time Etsy selling?
In October 2010 I was offered a job at a bookstore in Tennessee. The pay would have been alright and we would have been moving very quickly to a new state. We might have managed fine, and my shop would have probably continued at a decent pace, but I just had this gut feeling that I could make it a lot more. Turning down that job was the moment I really transitioned into the mentality of running a tiny business full-time. Within two weeks, thanks to a lot of SEO tweaks as well as a weekly listing and renewing plan, I was seeing the fruits of my labors.
What is your favorite part of the process in jewelry making?
I love painting a piece for the very first time. While I do always enjoy repeating a painting and perfecting it little by little each time, my favorite aspect of the process is creating something totally new.
What are your best marketing tips?
- Don't discount social media. It is an incredibly powerful thing! Twitter and Facebook are my favorites to play with, but blogging is great as well.
- The best thing you can do for your Shop is keep it fresh. List new items or renew when there is nothing new to list. Let your shop stagnate and you'll find yourself without any customers.
What's it like being captain of the Aspiring Artisan's Guild Etsy team?
I started the Aspiring Artisan's Guild as a team to help sellers who have at least some experience with Etsy bring their goals for their businesses into fruition. For many, the ultimate goal is turning their creative business into a stable part-time or full-time job. Through team workshops, blog articles, and forum discussions we support and educate one another about running a small business.
In your opinion, what are the benefits to joining an Etsy team?
To me, Etsy Teams are some of the best things about this site! Yes, it's a good selling venue, but the teams help really make this the community it is. One of the best things about Etsy is that it is a global community. Embrace that! Join a team or two and meet some people. Finding teams that fit your personality and business needs can make a huge difference to your overall selling experience.
What's been your most popular item or line to date?
My "Le Ballon Rouge" necklace has been my most consistently popular item. It was inspired by the short film of the same title which has been one of my favorites since I was a kid. I'm an incredibly nostalgic person, so references to my childhood seem to pop up in a lot of my work.
What is the biggest challenge you face during your daily schedule?
For me, the biggest daily challenge is making sure I've budgeted my time wisely. I frequently find myself feeling like I don't have enough time in the day to do everything I want to. Because I think of sleep as a waste, this generally means I stay up even later than I should and sleep a lot less than I ought to.
What's the hardest part about running your own business?
Pulling myself away from it for a break is a big challenge for me. When I take day trips I end up thinking about new ideas and all of the things I'd like to get home and accomplish. It's a real struggle to separate myself from my work. I'm not convinced I ever actually manage to.
What do you enjoy most about not having a day job?
Well, I do have a day job — in fact, I have a 24/7 job! What sets this apart is the fact that I own it and it is a big part of me. Working a more typical job, I could switch off and stop being a "librarian" or an "assistant manager," but I never just stop being myself. That's what I love most about it: the fact that it is 100% me. It makes it worth all of the time and effort.
What is the most exciting thing that has come out of selling your designs through Etsy?
Besides the connections I've made with so many awesome people, the fact that I am able to support myself and my husband has been huge for me.
What advice would you give someone considering a similar path?
- Research, research, research. Pretend like your budding shop is a term paper and how to sell is your thesis.
- Don't spend more than you need to on start-up costs. Over spending is an excellent way to destroy your chances of having a successful business from the get-go. Start by being a frugal business person.
- Form a deep affectionate relationship with your camera. It's going to be one of your best pals as your online business grows. Understand it thoroughly.
- Don't turn your life-long hobby into your job. There is really no surer way to ruin it for yourself. Find something you like to do, but that is separate from what you do to disengage.
What goals do you have in store for the future of TuckooandMooCow?
Ultimately, I would like to be self-sufficient. Right now, I don't make my own settings, but my plan for the near future is to learn how to do just that.
My husband, Jordan, is in the process of joining the Air Force. Over the next few months, our whole game-plan will have to change. As our lives press forward and we move again, one of my biggest goals for my business is to not only weather everything that may come along, but continue to grow.
Anything else you would like to share?
Selling my art full-time has brought me so many wonderful things. Since March we have been living in beautiful Asheville, North Carolina entirely supported by TuckooandMooCow. Although a huge amount of the work and determination has been on my part, my husband has been an enormous support shipping items, buying supplies, and answering convos when I can't and just being here. I really could not have done this without him. In that sense, TuckooandMooCow is very much both of us working together.

Doubt it's the listening room....sound of the ac would interfere with critical listening tests
Hey, I also have a pair of Ohm Walsh 5's that I use every day that I bought new in 1985. They still sound great.
My GS1000i phones are one of my favorites and I also use them almost every day.
Walsh 5's look pretty awesome. There's a pair of Ohm Walsh DOUBLE F's on 'bay. My downstairs neighbor would hate me if I had a set of those.
Why say that? I lived in a townhome for a number of years and shared a common wall with my neighbor. We had some kind of agreement ... and I was able to use my SVS "water heater" subwoofer.
Hi guys... just in case anyone is looking for sexy Grado cans:
So that Grado mahogany box was delivered today. Honestly the quality is pretty cheap/bad in my opinion. especially for the $100 price tag. Would not recommend it.
The finish on the bottom edges is chipped and flaking. The lid does not sit flush and is uneven. The corner joints don't appear to be finished very well either. I suppose it's my own fault for hoping the larger insert would fit the HP2's....but I can always just cut the foam larger so that's not really an issue.
Pictures below:
basically, if you need a display / storage case you're probably better off with different options.
By all means I don't intend to add fuel to the fire…but thats really poor!!!
I'd return that also!

Selected Elements and Organic Chemicals in Bed Sediment and Fish Tissue of the Tualatin River Basin, Oregon, 1992-96.
Entry ID: WRIR_99_4107
[ Update this Record ]
Selected Elements and Organic Chemicals in Bed Sediment and Fish Tissue of the
Tualatin River Basin, Oregon, 1992-96.Denny Road). Concentrations of total
chlordane, dieldrin, and p,p'-DDE in sediment at these sites exceeded USEPA
Tier 2 screening values. Concentrations of total chlordane in fish tissue
exceeded both the National Academy of Science/National Academy of Engineering
(NAS/NAE) guidelines and the New York State criteria. Organochlorine
concentrations were much lower downstream of these sites where the land use
changed to light industrial; concentrations of trace elements, however,
increased. The most contaminated bed sediment found in this study was collected
from the most urban site (Beaverton Creek at Cedar Hills Boulevard). USEPA
sediment screening values were exceeded for four organochlorine pesticides, six
polyaromatic PAHs, two phthalates, p-cresol, and eight metals (including
arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury). Levels of polychlorinated biphenyls in
the few fish found at this site exceeded the NAS/NAE guidelines for fish
The objectives of this study were to assess the occurrence and magnitude of
trace element and selected organic contaminants in streams of the Tualatin
River Basin, to compare contaminant levels found in Tualatin River Basin
streams with published guidelines for the protection of aquatic life, to place
the contaminant levels found in the Tualatin River Basin streams in context,
regionally and nationally, by comparing them with those found in the Willamette
Basin and by the USGS National Water Quality Assessment (NAWGA) Program, to
compare contaminant concentrations in bed sediment with those in fish tissue,
and to identify contaminant patterns that would help managers make decisions
regarding future monitoring and the implementation of pollution prevention and
abatement programs.
The area of study was the Tualatin River Basin.
Bed sediment samples were collected from 15 sites in the Tualatin Basin; fish
tissue samples were collected at 9 sites. Many of the sampled streams drain
largely urban areas that include a mixture of commercial and residential land.
Chicken, Dairy, and McKay Creeks are the only sampled streams with appreciable
agricultural land in their basins that do not also have significant urban
influences. Gales Creek drains mostly forested land and is minimally affected
by anthropogenic inputs; it represents background concentrations. At wadeable
sites, the top 1-2 cm of fine grained sediment was collected with a Teflon
scoop. Sediment was removed from several depositional areas within a reach and
composited. At nonwadeable sites (Tualatin River above Dairy Creek, and
Tualatin River at Elsner Road), the same approach was used, except that the
method was applied to sediment sections that had been obtained using an Eckman
dredge. In all cases, about 8 L of wet sediment was collected from each site.
The reach length sampled varied among sites from about 40 to 1,200 feet.
Sediment samples destined for organics analysis were sieved through a 2-mm
stainless steel sieve to remove twigs, pebbles, and other debris. Samples
destined for elemental analysis were sieved through a 63 micromillimeter nylon
screen to remove the sand fraction as well as a larger debris. Because trace
elements are not expected to significantly sorb to the sand-sized fraction,
sieving at 63 micromillimeters effectively "normalizes" samples to the size
fraction having the largest fraction of trace elements. Samples were kept at 4
degrees Centigrade until analysis. The sediment collection and preparation
method is described in detail by Shelton and Capel (1994).
Fish were collected by electrofishing and then euthanized by a sharp blow to
the head. Each sample contained 4-20 whole fish. All fish were sculpin.
Samples destined for elemental analysis were placed in resealable polyethylene
freezer bags; samples destined for organics analysis were wrapped in aluminum
foil. All samples were frozen until analysis. The fish were thawed,
homogenized, subsampled by the USGS Water Quality Laboratory.
Sediment samples were analyzed for major and minor elements, organochlorine
pesticides, pesticide metabolites, PCBs, and semivolatile organic compounds
such as PAHs, phthalates, and phenols. Fish tissue samples were analyzed for
major and minor elements, organochlorine pesticides, pesticide metabolites, and
PCBs. The chemical analyses and analytical methods are summarized in table 2
of Bernadine Bonn, Selected Elements and Organic Chemicals in Bed Sediment and
Fish Tissue of the Tualatin River Basin, Oregon, 1992-1996. In addition, for
sediment samples, organic carbon content and fraction of grain size less than
63 micrometers were determined; for fish samples, lipid content and moisture
content were determined. All analyses were performed by the USGS. Elemental
analyses of sediment were done by the Geologic Division Laboratory (Lakewood,
Colorado); sediment size fraction analyses were done by the laboratory at the
Cascades Volcano Observatory (Vancouver, Washington); all other analyses were
done by the National Water Quality Laboratory.

Censored semiquantitative data - nondetection of an analyte in a sample does
not indicate that the concentration of the analyte in the sample equalled zero.
The smaller the concentration of analyte in a sample, the greater the chance
that it will not be detected even if it is present. Different types of
statistics were used to communicate the analytical limits of different methods.
A minimum reporting level (MRL) was used for elements, organochlorine
pesticides, and PCBs. Data for these analytes are censored at the MRL; that is,
concentrations less than the MRL are reported as nondetections. When the
concentration is greater than ro equal to the MRL, the sample is assumed to be
reliably different from a blank sample. When the analyte is not detected in
the sample, the concentration is assumed to be less than the MRL. MRLs are
based on a variety of factors, including method performance and analyst
judgement. More about data accuracy is given in Bonn, 1999.

Actor Terry Crews said he was cut by six football teams in seven years.
"Guess what? I'm still here," said Crews, one of the stars of "The Expendables 2," which hits theaters Friday and is a potential blockbuster. "When I realized that I had to take responsibility for my life, I've really hit the lotto."
It's been a busy summer for Crews, 44, who played for four NFL teams in the 1990s.
Along with this movie, Crews is appearing on NBC's "Stars Earn Stripes" and HBO's "The Newsroom," and he will return in September for TBS' "Are We There Yet?"
"For a while I started to blame others and started to wonder whether I could do this," Crews said. "I stopped that and started to get busy. And stay busy. That turned one job into another."
And Crews knows fans want to see more "Expendables" movies, but that might not be possible.
"This is the Pro Bowl of action movies. You'll never see this again. Adding Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme? That changes the game," Crews said. "Everyone is in this flick. I don't think you'll ever see this again. That's entertainment!"
