Granted immunity from US prosecution, the four crewmen from the Singapore-flagged chemical tanker that exploded and sank on 28 February off Virginia are giving evidence to a federal grand jury, a testimony that is held secret. Two of the six surviving crew had already given their evidence to Coast Guard investigators and the first of the remaining four testified on Friday. Rating Ramon Ronquillo spent 90 minutes with the grand jury before leaving the closed- door proceedings. The other three are scheduled to testify Wednesday in Norfolk, Virginia. While the four have been granted immunity in the US – a demand from their lawyers before they would talk – Singapore has not granted immunity. The Bow Mariner was carrying 11,570 tonnes of ethanol as well diesel fuel and fuel oil when it exploded and sank on its way from New York to Houston. Quick sale wanted for Mayflower ship DELOITTES, the administrator of the UK engineering group Mayflower plc, is anticipating a quick sale of its purpose-built offshore windfarm turbine installation vessel, the Mayflower Resolution. It has set a deadline of 16 April for interested bidders to make offers, which are expected to be in excess of £20M ($36.7M). Already 44 companies have expressed an interest in the vessel. The ship is brand new, having only been delivered from the Shanhaiguan Shipyard in February, almost a year late because of several changes to the ship’s specification. The ship should have originally cost around £22M but because of the changes it is estimated to have cost nearer £40M. Mayflower Resolution is unique in that it has specifically been designed to be self contained in transporting and installing up to 10 turbines at a time. With the UK’s programme of nearly 20 planned offshore wind farms, this makes the ship an attractive asset. Administrator Nick Dargan is hopeful of a sale "by the end of the month." The vessel is being sold to raise urgently needed cash to deal with some £200M of debt that Mayflower has built up. Photo : Roger Wilson © Dutch activists oppose wreck plan THREE environmental groups in the Netherlands, Greenpeace, Foundation North Sea and Wadden Association, have urged transport minister Karla Peijs not to proceed with the burying of the wreck of the Ro-Ro Assi Euro Link, which sank over a year ago off Terschelling. The minister considers salvage too expensive and wants to start dredging sand from under the vessel tomorrow that will allow it to PSi-Daily Shipping News Page 2 4/15/2004 DAILY SHIPPING NEWSLETTER 2004 – 038 sink to a level that is not a hazard for shipping. However, environmental organisations equate this method with dumping waste at sea and want the government to raise the wreck for recycling. Meanwhile, two green political parties in the Netherlands and Belgium, GroenLinks Zeeland and Groen Belgie, have said they will resist the planned deepening of the Western Schelde if the governments decide to speed up the planning procedure by issuing an emergency law, which would allow the project to proceed with the least possible delay. Although both parties stressed that they are not in principle against deepening of the estuary, they want the Dutch and Belgian governments to follow the usual planning procedures, which will enable all parties involved to lodge protests or to demand further clarification of the proposals. Coast Guard: Ferry captain tried to 'overcorrect' The Spirit of Ontario struck a pier two weeks ago in Manhattan because the captain was unfamiliar with strong currents in the East River, the U.S. Coast Guard said today. The high-speed ferry hit the pier while docking April 1 at the South Street Seaport, resulting in a 25-foot gash and a hole in the ship above the waterline. No one was injured. The captain "tried to overcorrect to straighten the bow and that most likely resulted in the vessel coming in contact with the pier," said Tom Sperduto, a spokesman with the Coast Guard. The accident is still being investigated, but that is the preliminary conclusion, he said. A final report could take up to six months to complete. Sperduto added that the accident was not major and Capt. Han Tiemes, who was piloting the ship at the time, faces no charges. Alcohol and drugs were not involved, he said. Tiemes is delivering the vessel to Rochester for Austal Ships, the Australian shipbuilder. The ferry was visiting New York City as part of a promotional tour for Austal. It currently is being repaired and it's unknown when the ship will arrive in Rochester. The accident has resulted in a delay for the launch of the ferry, which was supposed to begin regular passenger service on Lake Ontario between Rochester and Toronto on May 1. It also has affected fundraisers planned by the Rochester Area Community Foundation and the Rochester and Toronto Rotary clubs. Canadian American Transportation Systems, the private company launching the ferry, could not immediately be reached for comment. CATS doesn't take ownership of the vessel until it arrives at the Port of Rochester. The ferry, which is 284 feet long and nearly as tall as a five-story building, is capable of carrying up to 774 passengers and 238 cars. It features several bars, a restaurant, wireless Internet, two movie theaters, a duty-free shop and a children's play area. Attack on ship 'work of Abu Sayyaf' The Philippine navy said an attack on a Malaysian tugboat on Sunday in Sulu sea near Sabah was the work of Abu Sayyaf militants. The attackers seized three crew members - an Indonesian and two Malaysians. "We are receiving reports from the field that the group who abducted the three were Abu Sayyaf members and the alleged leader is a certain Lajib," said Captain Geronimo Malabanan, a Philippine navy spokesman. PSi-Daily Shipping News Page 3 4/15/2004 DAILY SHIPPING NEWSLETTER 2004 – 038 It was the first official confirmation that the Abu Sayyaf, a network of small but well-armed criminal and terror bands operating in the southern Philippines, was responsible. A senior Philippine security official said the abduction showed Abu Sayyaf remained an important threat even if most of its leaders had been killed or captured, and its membership had declined from 5,000 in 2000 to about 400 today following a series of military offensives against the group. Military and police operatives last month arrested six Abu Sayyaf members alleged to be plotting bomb attacks on trains, shopping malls, western embassies and other targets in Manila. At the weekend, 23 jailed Abu Sayyaf members facing kidnapping, murder and robbery charges escaped along with 30 common criminals from a police prison in the southern island of Basilan. Police and troops have killed or recaptured 12 of the fugitives. Mr Gonzales said intelligence authorities believe the Abu Sayyaf leader Khadaffy Janjalani, brother of the group's founder, is consolidating control in an attempt to steer back the organisation towards its original objective of fighting for an Islamic state in the southern Philippines. Historic tugboat saved from scrapheap Canal enthusiasts in the North-West are embarking on their very own Scrapheap Challenge - to save the luxury tugboat Daniel Adamson, a true one-off that was threatened with breaking up. The unique 1903-vintage craft was once used for luxury trips along the Manchester Ship Canal. But since she was superseded by a newer model, the boat has languished unwanted and unloved. Now, a group of intrepid volunteers has hauled the boat to Liverpool Docks to begin the arduous process of restoration. First of all, Daniel Adamson was removed from the dock at the Boat Museum, Ellesmere Port, and towed by ship canal tug MSC Viceroy to Eastham Locks. Then, in the second stage of the operation, the historic boat was towed down the Mersey to Liverpool. This was believed to be the first time Daniel Adamson had sailed on the Mersey in 60 years - and also marked the official handover of the vessel by the Manchester Ship Canal Company to the Daniel Adamson Preservation Society. The next stage of the project will see the craft entering dry dock for a hull survey. Eventually, the Preservation Society hopes to restore the boat to her former glory and to see her active again around the waterways of Cheshire and Merseyside. CASUALTY REPORTING Cargo Vessel Collides with Fishing Boat An investigation was under way after a fishing boat was struck by a cargo vessel in dense fog off the Kent coast. The French-registered fishing boat Corona Gloria was being towed to Boulogne following the accident at 8.17am eight miles off Deal. PSi-Daily Shipping News Page 4 4/15/2004 DAILY SHIPPING NEWSLETTER 2004 – 038 A lifeboat from Dover was sailing alongside the stricken vessel helping to pump out water leaking through a hole caused during the collision. A Dover Coastguard spokesman said the identity of the cargo ship would not be revealed pending an inquiry.

Data collected by the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument on the Curiosity Rover can be integrated with Mars analog work in order to better understand the fixation and mobility of nitrogen on Mars, and thus its availability to putative biology. In particular, the relationship between nitrate and other soluble salts may help reveal the timing of nitrogen fixation and post-depositional behavior of nitrate on Mars. In addition, in situ measurements of nitrogen abundance and isotopic composition may be used to model atmospheric conditions on early Mars. Methods: The data presented are from analyses of solid Martian drilled and scooped samples by the Sam- ple Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument suite on the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Curiosity Rover. SAM performs evolved gas analysis (EGA), in which a 3 Figure 1.

SMPs are defined such that they would be suffi- ciently long-lived so as to still exist in the cosmos either as Big Bang relics or secondary collision products, and sufficiently massive such that they are typically beyond the reach of any conceiv- able accelerator-based experiment. The discovery of SMPs would address a number of important questions in modern physics, such as the origin and composition of dark matter and the unifi- cation of the fundamental forces. This review outlines the scenarios predicting SMPs and the techniques used at non-collider experiments to look for SMPs in cosmic rays and bound in mat- ter. The limits so far obtained on the fluxes and matter densities of SMPs which possess various detection-relevant properties such as electric and magnetic charge are given.

    NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT US By Bridget Canning. A Creative Writing Thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in English (Creative Writing) Department of English, Memorial University of Newfoundland Abstract: No One Knows about Us is a collection of twelve contemporary short stories. As the title suggests, the characters in each story deal with secrets: relationships, longings, grudges, addictions, and trickery. For them, these secrets are simultaneously overwhelming and futile; their importance within their small worlds reflect a deeper feeling of insignificance in the greater scheme of life in a small city in a northern province hemmed on to the side of a continent. Here are a range of characters and situations set in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. The stories are mapped out in different areas of the city and move chronologically over a year, starting in fall and ending in late summer. They work together to create a small sample of life in modern-day St. John’s – one that is informed by the influences of history, economy, and weather. i Acknowledgements: This thesis would not have been accomplished without the help of the English department faculty at Memorial such as Robert Finley, Robert Chafe, and especially my thesis advisor, Lisa Moore.

  • Appendix I Lunar and Martian Nomenclature
    APPENDIX I LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE A large number of names of craters and other features on the Moon and Mars, were accepted by the IAU General Assemblies X (Moscow, 1958), XI (Berkeley, 1961), XII (Hamburg, 1964), XIV (Brighton, 1970), and XV (Sydney, 1973). The names were suggested by the appropriate IAU Commissions (16 and 17). In particular the Lunar names accepted at the XIVth and XVth General Assemblies were recommended by the 'Working Group on Lunar Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr D. H. Menzel. The Martian names were suggested by the 'Working Group on Martian Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr G. de Vaucouleurs. At the XVth General Assembly a new 'Working Group on Planetary System Nomenclature' was formed (Chairman: Dr P. M. Millman) comprising various Task Groups, one for each particular subject. For further references see: [AU Trans. X, 259-263, 1960; XIB, 236-238, 1962; Xlffi, 203-204, 1966; xnffi, 99-105, 1968; XIVB, 63, 129, 139, 1971; Space Sci. Rev. 12, 136-186, 1971. Because at the recent General Assemblies some small changes, or corrections, were made, the complete list of Lunar and Martian Topographic Features is published here.

    CUMULATIVE INDEX· ARIZONA HIGHWAYS VOLUME 1, 1925 through VOLU~IE 27, 1951 ARTICLES appearing in ARIZONA HIGHWAYS from volume 1 in 1925 through volume 27 in 1951 are indexed here under author and subject. Indexing is similar to that found in READERS' GurnE TO PERIODICAL LITERATURE; each article is listed under the heading or headings most closely indicating the general subject matter. This is not a detailed analytical index to contents of articles. The user will find, for instance, those articles which deal with Katchinas, but not the names of various Katchinas discussed in the articles. Very general headings such as DESCRIPTION have been used only where more specific headings were not possible. A series of tall tales which appeared during early years of the magazine have been listed under that heading. Portraits have been indexed wherever there was a clear likeness. Group por­ traits have been incJuded when likenesses were clear and recognizable. There is a special index to color illustrations which have been an outstanding feature of ARIZONA HrGHWAYS for the past 10 years. Generally each picture has been listed under a single subject, the one which in the fallible judgment of the compiler, seemed most appropriate. It is hoped this will be of use to teachers and armchair travelers. ♦ COMPILED BY DONALD M.
