Emissary sought Weir's release
A presidential emissary was sent to Syria to urge the release of Rev. Benjamin Weir who had been held by Shiite captors in Lebanon for 18 months. NBC News cited Vernon Walters meeting Assad in secret for four hours, though officials would not confirm details. Weir freed on Sept 14 amid talks about releasing remaining hostages in exchange for Lebanese prisoners.

Plan to Pump Sand to Save Ocean City Beaches Draws Support
The Hughes Administration proposed abandoning a grain-based erosion plan for Ocean City and instead pumping about two million cubic yards of sand from the Atlantic to widen the beach. The $13.3 million plan aims for 10 year protection with faster, cheaper results, while a second phase could add 100 year storm protection with steel bulkheads and dunes. Local lawmakers expressed concern about shifting costs and consensus.
