Best in class : essential wisdom from real student writing
\"From the very first week of Tim Clancy's 25-year career as a high school English teacher, he began to notice and collect funny and strange moments he discovered in his students' writing, moments like: \"The word \"witch\" has become a household word, like spatula,\" and \"Wherever excitement is, there will always be romance. Trust me.\" He would occasionally share them with his classes, who enjoyed them as much as he did, and so this book was born. I Like Literature . . . collects nearly 200 of the most entertaining of these moments from real student writing and complements them with dozens of playful illustrations to create a sympathetically hilarious book for anyone who has muddled their way through the wilderness of a school writing assignment\"-- Provided by publisher.

Wetlands as landscape units: spatial patterns in salinity and water chemistry
Athalassic wetlands play a pivotal role in sediment and nutrient cycling and retention at the catchment level and are important ecosystems for local and regional biodiversity. Yet, the management of wetlands outside of riverine floodplains (non-riverine wetlands) is difficult, as there is limited understanding of these water bodies and of the processes that threaten them, like secondary salinisation. Accordingly, we describe the patterns of variation in wetland salinity and water chemistry across a regional landscape that is threatened by secondary salinisation. Spatial analyses indicated the distribution of the study wetlands was non-random and there was considerable positive spatial auto-correlation in water chemistry among wetlands--indicating a lack of independence. We detected massive variation in water chemistry among wetlands compared to minimal within-wetland variation and conductivity accounted for most of the among-wetland variation confirming its prominence in non-riverine wetland water chemistry. Wetland salinities were classified by their chemical evaporative pathway and we found a number of wetlands that may have become secondary salinised. The results reported here support the notion that the study, conservation and management of non-riverine wetlands should include assessments made at multiple spatial scales from individual waterbodies through to catchments. This is important because wetlands may not be independent units, but components of larger systems. However, we also note that the use of individual wetlands as units of replication may be problematic under some circumstances. We also argue that the identification of secondarily salinised wetlands will often require a multiple lines of evidence approach.

STRUCTURAL AND BIOCHEMICAL ALTERATIONS IN GIARDIA LAMBLIA CYSTS EXPOSED TO OZONE
Because of its efficacy in inactivating waterborne protozoan cysts and oocysts, ozone is frequently used for disinfection of drinking water. The effect of ozone on cysts of Giardia lamblia was investigated in gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus), using an infectivity assay by scanning electron microscopy, immunoblotting, and flow cytometry. Cysts recovered from experimentally infected gerbils were exposed to an initial ozone concentration of 1.5 mg/L for 0, 30, 60, and 120 sec. This treatment resulted in a dose-dependent reduction in cysts concentration, loss of infectivity in gerbils, and profound structural modifications to the cyst wall. Exposure for 60 sec or longer resulted in extensive protein degradation and in the disappearance of a cyst wall and a trophozoite antigen.
