The searchable archive of abstracts is located at http://www.clu-in.org/programs/21m2/litsearch.cfm Accumulation of Organochlorine Pesticides by Semipermeable Membrane Devices Using Composite Complex Liao, Long B. and Xian M. Xiaoa, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou, China. Chemosphere, Vol 64 No 9, p 1592-1600, Aug 2006 Semipermeable membrane devices have been developed for passive in situ monitoring of organochlorine pesticides in aqueous solution. The device consists of a thin film of neutral lipid triolein enclosed in thin-walled tubing made of composite cellulose acetate (CA) membrane supported by linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), and is referred to as a CAPE. Test results indicate that the triolein-CAPE (TCAPE) could accumulate hydrophobic pesticides quickly and efficiently in water. In the lab, uptake equilibrium is reached within 20 h. Some mathematical relationships of TCAPE/water partition coefficient, triolein/water partition coefficient, and octanol/water partition coefficient were developed under laboratory conditions. The device was also tested under field conditions, where the average concentration of pesticides in surface water could be estimated by measuring pesticides concentrations in the device.

    College Baseball Foundation P.O. Box 6507 Phone: 806-742-0301 x249 Lubbock TX 79493-6507 E-mail: [email protected] January 30, 2008 Boyd, Thank you for participating in the balloting for the College Baseball Hall of Fame’s 2008 Induction Class. We appreciate your willingness to help. In the voters packet you will find the official ballot, an example ballot, and the nominee biographies: 1. The official ballot is what you return to us. Please return to us no later than Mon- day, February 11. 2. The example ballot’s purpose is to demonstrate the balloting rules. Obviously the names on the example ballot are not the nominee names. That was done to prevent you from being biased by the rankings you see there. 3. Each nominee has a profile in the biography packet. Some are more detailed than others and reflect what we received from the institutions and/or obtained in our own research. The ballot instructions are somewhat detailed, so be sure to read the directions at the top of the official ballot. Use the example ballot as a reference. Please try to consider the nominees based on their collegiate careers. In many cases nominees have gone on to professional careers but keep the focus on his college career as a player and/or coach. The Veterans (pre-1947) nominees often lack biographical details relative to those in the post-1947 categories. In those cases, the criteria may take on a broader spectrum to include the impact they had on the game/history of college baseball, etc.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

  • The Sandoz Spill: the Failure of International Law to Protect the Rhine from Pollution
    The Sandoz Spill: The Failure of International Law to Protect the Rhine from Pollution Aaron Schwabach* INTRODUCTION The fire at Sandoz Warehouse 956 near Basel, Switzerland, in No- vember 1986 and the subsequent spill of toxic chemicals into the Rhine River had a disastrous impact on the Rhine's ecology. The accident is widely regarded as Western Europe's worst environmental disaster in decades. 1 Two treaties govern pollution resulting from incidents such as the Sandoz accident: the Convention Concerning the International Commis- sion for the Protection of the Rhine Against Pollution 2 and the Conven- tion for the Protection of the Rhine Against Chemical Pollution. 3 As the names of the treaties show, their purpose is to protect the Rhine from pollution. The Sandoz spill, and similar accidents of lesser magnitude, demonstrate that the Rhine has not been protected. Despite a treaty pro- vision for arbitration and possible treaty violations by Switzerland, none of the downstream states sought any remedy against Switzerland under international law for damages caused by the Sandoz spill. This Com- ment discusses the Sandoz accident and its aftermath, explores the rea- sons for the failure of the Rhine treaty regime, and proposes remedies for the inadequacies of the existing treaties. Part I describes the causes and effects of the fire, including the eco- logical and economic damage resulting from the chemical spill, as well as the reactions of the public and the downstream governments to the spill. Part II discusses the principles of international law applicable to trans- boundary river pollution and describes in detail the treaties governing pollution of the Rhine.
