Topic:Novel Water-Winning Technologies for Hard Rock Environments Applied to the Island of TobagoPresenter: Dr. Utam MaharajABSTRACTSpace-age technologies incorporating images from satellites orbiting the Earth in a novel public-private sector partnership were used to discover and develop enormous quantities of high quality groundwater for the island of Tobago. This is the first application of these technologies and of this type of partnership in the Caribbean region, and Tobago’s long history of conventional groundwater investigations, failed well drilling attempts, combined with a critical two (2) Million Gallons per Day (MGD) shortfall made it a “worst-case” island test venue for new groundwater discoveries.Nevertheless, the use by the client of a “shared-risk” contracting approach, combined with the application by the contractor of the novel “mega watersheds” paradigm and an advanced state-of-the-art exploration programme, resulted in the identification of 39.8 MGD of previously undetected, renewable groundwater resources in the prevailing crystalline bedrock of the island. The contractor subsequently drilled and actually developed over 4 MGD of sustainable, spring-quality groundwater, all within one year. Under the contract, the contractor was only paid for water actually developed (and tested) and also warrantied the wells for one year.Tobago’s present and future water problems were resolved in a single year’s work, using best-available technology, at minimal risk to the client. This project has proven that with proper risk-sharing arrangements the best expertise and provider of technology for groundwater exploration and development can be acquired to develop new sources of groundwater in difficult geological terrains not previously thought to be available. BIO Dr. Utam Maharaj has spent sixteen (16) years in the petroleum industry involved in the development and introduction of technology to Petrotrin's production operations. During this time he was also involved in their produced water pollution assessments and clean-up, in addition to evaluating the Company's strategic tarsands resource with respect to its geology, reserves and processibility. From 1998 to 2002 he served as Director, Water Resources where he was heavily involved in the pursuit of new water sources for both islands of Trinidad and Tobago. He served as Project Manager of the Tobago Groundwater project, the topic of the current presentation. He later functioned as advisor of the subsequent Trinidad Groundwater Project. The presenter possesses a PhD in Physcial Chemistry and a BSc. (Honors) in Biochemistry from University of Toronto, and a Masters in Petroleum Engineering and Management from the University of the West Indies. Much of the work that the presenter was involved in have been published internationally. He currently has thirty-two (32) publications, of which nine (9) are in academia, fourteen (14) in the petroleum field and nine (9) related to water. He has written a Chapter in the recently published book titled Modern Groundwater Exploration issued this year.

The mortality rate from prostate cancer was2-fold higher among persons of African descent (54 of 100,000) compared with white non-Hispanics (23 of 100,000). Incidence of prostate cancer in the United States increased dramatically in both groups between the late 1980s and 1993, reflecting the earlier diagnosis that occurred with the increasing use of serum PSA screening (1). An encouraging downturn in prostate cancer mortality rates was observed in both ethnic groups from 1993 to 1997 (1). Established risk factors for prostate cancer include age, ethnicity, family history of prostate cancer, and high-fat or meat diet (2). Other factors suspected include hormone metabolism, (3, 4) vitamin D metabolism, (5) and a few occupational exposures (6). The relationships of a number of candidate genes to prostate cancer are under investigation with most published results limited to Caucasian populations (7, 8). The reasons for the higher risk for prostate cancer among African Americans are unknown. Until recently, there has been little solid prevalence, incidence, or mortality data for populations of African descent outside the United States, although data published a few years ago in an annual summary of worldwide data suggested high rates of prostate cancer mortality in Martinique and Trinidad & Tobago (9). Gloveret al.(10) reported high rates of prostate cancer incidence in the predominantly Afro-Caribbean population of Jamaica. Data regarding screening parameters and prevalence of prostate cancer in populations of African descent in the United States are sparse (11, 12) and virtually absent in other populations of African descent. However, a recent publication has estimated prostate cancer prevalence for 1994 among African Americans and Caucasians using a model based on incidence and survival functions calculated from the Connecticut Tumor Registry, 1940–1993, and applied to the SEER 1973–1993 populations. The prevalence proportion ranged from 7 of 100,000, ages 40–44 years, to 9,725 of 100,000, ages Received 8/16/00; revised 4/1/02; accepted 4/22/02. 726 Vol. 11, 726–729, August 2002Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention 75–79 years, in Caucasians, compared with 14 of 100,000, ages 40–44 years, to 10,945 of 100,000, ages 75–79 years, in African Americans (13). We hypothesize that risk for prostate cancer is high among populations of African descent living in diverse environments. If so, this would lead us to hypothesize that populations of African descent share genetic and/or lifestyle factors that increase risk for prostate cancer. On the island of Tobago, Trinidad & Tobago, we are conducting a population-based, longitudinal study of prostate cancer in the male population ages 40–79 years. In this report, we present data from the initial cross-sectional screening using serum PSA and DRE. Materials and Methods Population.The island of Tobago is about 726 miles in size. According to the 1990 census (14) of Trinidad & Tobago, the male population of Tobago, ages 40–79 years, numbered 5121. Ninety-two percent of Tobago residents reported that they were of African descent. Most healthcare is provided by a government-supported system through the Tobago Regional Health Authority that manages the 19 neighborhood health centers and one hospital. Some residents travel to Trinidad for specialized care under the government system. Some care is provided by private caregivers. PSA testing has been available but generally limited to symptomatic men seeking care in the private sector. Recruitment.The recruitment goal was 4000 men, 80% of the male population of Tobago, ages 40–79 years. Currently, 3000 men are enrolled. Recruitment has been the result of word of mouth, informing by healthcare workers at the hospital and health centers, informing by private physicians, posters, flyers, public service announcements, and public presentations by oncologists and urologists from Trinidad and the United States. Informed Consent.Consent was obtained using forms and procedures approved by the Institutional Review Boards of University of Pittsburgh Institutional Review Board and the Tobago Ministry of Health. Data Collection.Data were collected by locally resident study staff at the study office located at the Tobago Regional Hospital. Data collected included ethnicity, education, occupation, smoking, medical history, personal and family cancer history, vasectomy, prostate symptoms, health screening history, alcohol intake, detailed occupational history, and height, weight, waist, and hip measurements.

Tobago!; Caribbean island proves to be a worthy winter getaway full of fish, fowl and funByline:Phil Druker Tobago or not Tobago, that was the question. When we got cheap airfare to that island just off the coast of Venezuela in the southern Caribbean Sea, the answer was clear. We spent our winter vacation on that jewel of an island. Renowned for its pristine coral reefs and rain forest, Tobago promised to offer a great break from gray Palouse winter skies, and it met that promise in every way. December is the end of the rainy season down there, and it did rain sometimes -- short tropical cloudbursts that came after sunset or early in the morning. The nighttime showers cooled things down, but the morning showers mainly steamed things up. Things didn't need much steaming, however, as the temperatures rose to morethan 85 degrees every day. On this trip we had some really difficult decisions to make. Should we go diving? Should we go snorkeling? Should we go bird watching? Should we just hang out and relax? For me, an inveterate chicken when it comes to the ocean, the choice of diving isn'tpossible. I haven't taken the prerequisite diving classes, and I'm not sure I could train myself to breathe underwater and deal with all the gear.But our travel companions, Margrit von Braun, an expert scuba diver, and her husband, Ian von Lindern, braved the depths and returned with glowingreports of beautiful coral, sea turtles, huge 7-foot tarpon, and even a nurse shark. My wife, Jeannie Harvey, and I stuck to the simpler pleasure of snorkeling. The Atlantic and Caribbean waters off Tobago are a balmy 75 degrees this time of year, which meant we could stay in the water for an hour or more before getting too cold. That was a good thing because Tobago's coral reefs offer plenty to see. There was coral: black coral, poisonous brown fire coral, red coral, blue coral, yellow coral, elk horn coral, smooth brain coral, and rough brain coral, to name a few. The reef on the northeast end of Tobago -- a short 10-minute boat ride from our beachfront hotel -- supports some of the largest brain corals in the world. Usually, brain corals are a couple feet in diameter, but there the brains often grow to 12 or 15 feet. Alongside the corals grew yellow tube sponges and gray barrel sponges, which looked something like giant clams. The warm Caribbean sun shone through the aquamarine, 5- to 50-foot deep water, making the sea floor glisten and sparkle. Tobago's coral reef supports a vast number of different types of tropical fish. The most colorful were the incredibly bright, iridescent blue and yellow queen anglefish. No little aquarium-sized fish, the gaudy adults were up to a foot long and tall. In those same waters swam blue chromis, black and yellow speckled French anglefish, bright yellow damselfish, red groupers, blue tangs with iridescent light blue stripes, yellow and black striped sergeant majors, black damselfish, orange filefish, bluehead wrasse, four-eyed butterfish, green parrotfish and blue parrotfish. Under shelves in the coral hid speckled boxfish and yellow eels. There were fish with big eyes, fish with little eyes, and fish with black spots near their tails that looked like eyes. There were skinny, long, blue trumpet fish and there were multicolored flounder resting on the sandy bottom. Squids scuttled through the water in small schools. Other fish formed mixed schools that skimmed the ocean floor, feeding. In those schools there might swim two or three hundred fish (it really was beyond my means to count them) representing 10 to 15 different species. Aggressive, tiny black fish would dart out of the coral to scare away the whole school of much bigger fish from their territory. Farther out to sea, the coral forms a wall and drops off steeply. There, the water turns deep blue. Throug
