...Matthews, however, argues the data from her later study are "irrelevant" to the ossuary trial. She and her colleagues say that the very low values representing wet seasons were "noise" that should not be taken in isolation since patina takes many years to form. Patina's isotopic value would represent an average figure, not just the low winter results. "It's like comparing tomatoes and gloves," Bar-Matthews told TIME. "There is no scenario where we can get light isotopic values below -6 permil also in Jerusalem under natural conditions...
...trouble with this kind evidence is, of course, that the formation of patina isn't yet explainable in science everyone can agree on. The patina on one letter could be the result of one particularly wet winter that happened to leave its evidence on the ossuary - but perhaps not in a stalagmite in a cave. Or vice versa. "The analogy between the formation of cave deposits and the formation of patina on archeological objects is imprecise and more work is needed," says Professor Aldo Shemesh, an isotope expert at the Weizmann Institute who was also called as a defense expert...
...Even so, the French media worked themselves into a lather in July when one woman demanded the right to swim in a burqini - a one-piece that resembles a wet suit - in a public pool that denied her entrance. Given that, it's little wonder that the approval - or disinterest - that the French public has shown the Zakia Halal ads has been a source of contentment and relief to many French Muslims.

...took place four days earlier during a mock sword fight at Captain Jack's Pirate Tutorial audience-participation show. According to his friend Jeffrey Breslauer, Priest - just before he died - said he was performing the sword fight on a new stage for the first time and slipped on a wet spot. The third death occurred on Aug. 17, when stuntman Anislav Varbanov broke his neck while practicing a tumbling roll at Disney's Hollywood Studios for a scene in a 20-year-old show based on stunts from the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark. Maria Somma, spokeswoman for Actors...
...that propels you through water at a depth of 10 ft. (3 m), while compressed air is pumped into a tiny glass cockpit from a boat on the surface - the resulting air pressure keeping water out of the hood. Pelagic treasures can be seen without even getting your hair wet...
