Forensic Science (Encyclopedia of Science)
Forensic science is the application of science to matters of law. A basic principle of forensic science is that a criminal always brings something to the scene of a crime that he or she leaves behind. The "something" left behind is the evidence that detectives and criminalists (people who make use of science to solve crimes) look for. It might be fingerprints, footprints, teeth marks, blood, semen, hair, fibers, broken glass, a knife or gun, or a bullet. It also might be something less tangible such as the nature of the wounds or bruises left on a victim's body, which might indicate the nature of the weapon or the method of assault. Careful analysis of evidence left at the scene of a crime often can be used in establishing the guilt or innocence of someone on trial.
Although fingerprints have been used by crime investigators for more than a century, they remain one of the most sought after pieces of evidence. All human beings are born with a characteristic set of ridges on their fingertips. The ridges, which are rich in sweat pores, form a pattern that remains fixed for life. Even if the skin is removed, the same pattern will be evident when the skin regenerates. Some of the typical patterns found in fingerprints are arches, loops, and whorls.
Oils from sweat glands collect on these ridges. When we touch something, a small amount...

Forensic Science (West's Encyclopedia of American Law)
The application of scientific knowledge and methodology to legal problems and criminal investigations.
Sometimes called simply forensics, forensic science encompasses many different fields of science, including anthropology, biology, chemistry, engineering, genetics, medicine, pathology, phonetics, psychiatry, and toxicology.
The related term criminalistics refers more specifically to the scientific collection and analysis of physical evidence in criminal cases. This includes the analysis of many kinds of materials, including blood, fibers, bullets, and fingerprints. Many law enforcement agencies operate crime labs that perform scientific studies of evidence. The largest of these labs is run by the FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION.
Forensic scientists often present EXPERT TESTIMONY to courts, as in the case of pathologists who testify on causes of death and engineers who testify on causes of damage from equipment failure, fires, or explosions.
Modern forensic science originated in the late nineteenth century, when European criminal investigators began to use fingerprinting and other identification techniques to solve crimes. As the field of science expanded in scope throughout the twentieth century, its application to legal issues became more and more common. Because nearly every area of science has a potential bearing on...

Forensic Science (World of Forensic Science)
Forensic science is a term used to describe the actions taken by investigators in multidisciplinary fields for the examination of crime scenes and gathering of evidence to be used in prosecution of offenders in a court of law. The main use of forensic science is for purposes of law enforcement to investigate crimes such as murder, theft, or fraud. Forensic scientists are also involved in investigating accidents such as train or plane crashes to establish if they were accidental or a result of foul play. The techniques developed by forensic science are also used by the U.S. military to analyze the possibility of the presence of chemical weapons or high explosives, to test for propellant stabilizers, or to monitor compliance with international agreements regarding weapons of mass destruction.
The main areas used in forensic science are biology, chemistry, and medicine, although the science also includes the use of physics, computer science, geology, or psychology. Forensic scientists examine objects, substances (including blood or drug samples), chemicals (paints, explosives, toxins), tissue traces (hair, skin), or impressions (fingerprints or tidemarks) left at the crime scene. The majority of forensic scientists specialize in one area of science.
The analysis of the scene of a crime or accident involves obtaining a permanent record of the scene (forensic photography) and collection of evidence for further examination and comparison. Collected samples include biological (tissue samples such as skin, blood, semen, or hair), physical (fingerprints, shells, fragments of instruments or equipment, fibers, recorded voice messages, or computer discs) and chemical (samples of paint, cosmetics, solvents, or soil).
Most commonly, the evidence collected at the scene is subsequently processed in a forensic laboratory by scientists specializing in a particular area. Scientists identify, for example, fingerprints, chemical residues, fibers, hair, or DNA. However, miniaturization of equipment and the ability to perform most forensic analysis at the scene of crime results in more specialists being present in the field. Presence of more people at the scene of crime introduces a greater likelihood of introduction of contamination into the evidence. Moreover, multi-handling of a piece of evidence (for example, a murder weapon) is also likely to introduce traces of tissue or DNA not originating from the scene of a crime. Consequently, strict quality controls are imposed on collection, handling, and analysis of evidence to avoid contamination.
The ability to properly collect and process forensic samples can affect the ability of the prosecution to prove their case during a trial. The presence of chemical traces or DNA on a piece of debris is also crucial in establishing the chain of events leading to a crime or accident.
Biological traces are collected not only from the crime scene and deceased person, but also from surviving victims and suspects. Most commonly, samples obtained are blood, hair, and semen. DNA can be extracted from any of these samples and used for comparative analysis.
DNA is the main method of identifying people. Victims of crashes or fires are often unrecognizable, but if adequate DNA can be isolated a person can be positively identified if a sample of their DNA or their family's DNA is taken for comparison. Such methods are being used in the identification of the remains in Yugoslav war victims, the World Trade Center terrorist attack victims, and the 2002 Bali bombing victims.
Biological traces, investigated by forensic scientists come from bloodstains, saliva samples (from cigarette butts or chewing gum) and tissue samples, such as skin, nails, or hair. Samples are processed to isolate the DNA and establish the origin of the samples. Samples must first be identified as human, animal, or plant before further investigation proceeds. For some applications, such as customs and quarantine, traces of animal and plant tissue have to be identified to the level of the species, as transport of some species is prohibited. A presence of a particular species can also prove that a suspect or victim visited a particular area. In cases of national security, samples are tested for the presence of pathogens and toxins, and the latter are also analyzed chemically.
A growing area of forensic analysis is monitoring non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, analysis of possible terrorist attacks, or breaches of security. The nature of samples analyzed is wide, but slightly different from a criminal investigation. In addition to the already-described samples, forensic scientists who gather evidence of weapons of mass destruction collect swabs from objects, water, and plant material to test for the presence of radioactive isotopes, toxins, or poisons, as well as chemicals that can be used in production of chemical weapons. The main difference from the more common forensic investigation is the amount of chemicals present in a sample. Samples taken from the scene of suspected chemical or biological weapons often contain minute amounts of chemicals and require very sensitive and accurate instruments for analysis.
Forensic chemistry performs qualitative and quantitative analysis of chemicals found on people, various objects, or in solutions. The chemical analysis is the most varied from all the forensic disciplines. Chemists analyze drugs as well as paints, remnants of explosives, fire debris, gunshot residues, fibers, and soil samples. They can also test for a presence of radioactive substances (nuclear weapons), toxic chemicals (chemical weapons), and biological toxins (biological weapons). Forensic chemists can also be called on in a case of environmental pollution to test the compounds and trace their origin.
The identification of fire accelerants such as kerosene or gasoline is of great importance for determining the cause of a fire. Debris collected from a fire must be packed in tight, secure containers, as the compounds to be analyzed are often volatile. An improper transport of such debris would result in no detection of important traces. One of the methods used for this analysis involves the use of charcoal strips. The chemicals from the debris are absorbed onto the strip and subsequently dissolved in a solvent before analysis. This analysis allows scientists to determine the hydrocarbon content of the samples and identify the type of fire accelerator used.
Physical evidence usually refers to objects found at the scene of a crime. Physical evidence may include all sorts of prints such as fingerprints, footprints, handprints, tidemarks, cut marks, tool marks, etc. Analysis of some physical evidence is conducted by making impressions in plaster, taking images of marks, or lifting the fingerprints from objects encountered. These serve later as a comparison to identify, for example, a vehicle that was parked at the scene, a person that was present, a type of manufacturing method used to create a tool, or a method used to break in a building or harm a victim.
An examination of documents found at the scene or related to the crime is often an integral part of forensic analysis. Such examination is often able to establish not only the author but, more importantly, identify any alterations that have taken place. Specialists are also able to recover text from documents damaged by accident or on purpose.
The identification of people can be performed by fingerprint analysis or DNA analysis. When none of these methods is viable, facial reconstruction can be used instead to generate a person's image. Television and newspapers then circulate the image for identification.
Pathologists and forensic anthropologists play a very important part in forensic examination. They are able to determine the cause of death by examining marks on the bone(s), skin (gunshot wounds), and other body surfaces for external trauma. They can also determine a cause of death by toxicological analysis of blood and tissues.
A number of analytical methods are used by forensic laboratories to analyze evidence from a crime scene. Methods vary, depending on the type of evidence analyzed and information extracted from the traces found. If a type of evidence is encountered for the first time, a new method is developed.
Biological samples are most commonly analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The results of PCR are then visualized by gel electrophoresis. Forensic scientists tracing the source of a biological attack could use the new hybridization or PCR-based methods of DNA analysis. Biological and chemical analysis of samples can identify toxins found.
Imaging used by forensic scientists can be as simple as a light microscope, or can involve an electron microscope, absorption in ultraviolet to visible range, color analysis, or fluorescence analysis. Image analysis is used not only in cases of biological samples, but also for analysis of paints, fibers, hair, gunshot residue, or other chemicals. Image analysis is often essential for an interpretation of physical evidence. Specialists often enhance photographs to visualize small details essential in forensic analysis. Image analysis is also used to identify details from surveillance cameras.
The examination of chemical traces often requires very sensitive chromatographic techniques or mass spectrometric analysis. The four major types of chromatographic methods used are: thin layer chromatography (TLC) to separate inks and other chemicals; atomic absorption chromatography for analysis of heavy metals; gas chromatography (GC); and liquid chromatography (HPLC). GC is most widely used in identification of explosives, accelerators, propellants, and drugs or chemicals involved in chemical weapon production, while liquid chromatography (HPLC) is used for detection of minute amounts of compounds in complex mixtures. These methods rely on separation of the molecules based on their ability to travel in a solvent (TLC) or to adhere to adsorbent filling the chromatography column. By collecting all of the fractions and comparing the observed pattern to standards, scientists are able to identify the composition of even the most complex mixtures.
New laboratory instruments are able to identify nearly every element present in a sample. Because the composition of alloys used in production of steel instruments, wires, or bullet casings is different between various producers, it is possible to identify a source of the product.
In some cases chromatography alone is not an adequate method for identification. It is then combined with another method to separate the compounds even further and results in greater sensitivity. One such method is mass spectrometry (MS). A mass spectrometer uses high voltage to produce charged ions. Gaseous ions or isotopes are then separated in a magnetic field according to their masses. A combined GC-MS instrument has a very high sensitivity and can analyze samples present at concentrations of one part-per-billion.
As some samples are difficult to analyze with MS alone, a laser vaporization method (imaging laser-ablation mass spectroscopy) was developed to produce small amounts of chemicals from solid materials (fabrics, hair, fibers, soil, glass) for MS analysis. Such analysis can examine hair samples for presence of drugs or chemicals. Due to its high sensitivity, the method is of particular use in monitoring areas and people suspected of production of chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons, or narcotics producers.
While charcoal sticks are still in use for fire investigations, a new technology of solid-phase microextraction (SPME) was developed to collect even more chemicals and does not require any solvent for further analysis. The method relies on the use of sticks similar to charcoal, but coated with various polymers for collecting different chemicals (chemical warfare agents, explosives, or drugs). Collected samples are analyzed immediately in the field by GC.

Tour of Britain 2010 Part I
Dan Craven, Rapha Condor Sharp's Namibian powerhouse, writes from the 2010 Tour of Britain.
WORDS: Dan Craven | PHOTOS: Gavin Campbell
ToB Stage 1
Waking heart rate: 52 (nerves?)
Rapha Condor Sharp's (sponsors, staff, supporters and riders) season highlight is finally upon us and the team got the first day nerves out of the way, all of us finishing safely in the bunch.
Thanks to John's (Herety) decision to use a campervan for the event, the team has been having a great time and the pressure dissolves nicely as we sit in the back joking away. Everyone is mighty chuffed as hiding from the rain at the start suddenly becomes comfortable and hassle free. Not to mention that we get to sit behind a drawn screen and look out at everyone milling about outside - endless hours of entertainment. And, of course, we have a toilet on board so no need to run around looking for a cafe, tree or dingy alleyway before the start of the race. Great, that is, if someone doesn't lock you in there…
Team Soigneur, Martyn Frank, currently seems to be reveling in his task of 'running the camper', making sure all is clean, stocked and ready to go. Somehow though I doubt that we'll be making his life very easy. With cupboards full of goodies (less tempting things like apples and bananas or more exciting things like waffles or jelly babies), the post stage drive back to the hotel suddenly becomes a lot more interesting. Of course, we can't go overboard and Martyn's keeping a watchful eye on us, but we're allowed something nice after the stage today was run entirely in the wet. So much for the new white socks we were given last night… Bring on the black socks I say!
ToB Stage 2
Waking heart rate: 60
Pro racing is weird. Expectations for today's stage were fulfilled, but all for different reasons. Everyone was expecting one of two things: Either for it to be the decisive stage due to some very hard hills and potential crosswinds wrecking havoc with the bunch. Or, a soft move would go up the road, HTC Columbia would control things nicely, bring them back at the end and line it up for another bunch sprint.
Well, it was a sprint (small, but still a sprint), and it was highly decisive, but none of the two assumed scenarios played themselves out. A mere eighteen minutes into the race, two men jumped clear of the bunch, I jumped across to them, only to see Patrik Sinkewitz dragging what appeared to be the bunch back across to us. Only it wasn't. A split had occurred in the bunch and so a group of about twenty riders got away and stayed away for the rest of the day with a clear gap over the ''demotivated'' bunch.
With the GC group now firmly established, focus amongst the team changes rather drastically. From now onwards I have one goal for the rest of the tour, which is either maintaining or improving upon my position. The rest of the team is now firmly set on getting into breakaways and hoping that they stay away until the end. With the big time gap created today the likelihood of small breaks has been given the freedom to run and staying away has increased dramatically.
Now all I have to do is stay up there on GC and hope the rest of the boys get into the breaks. Wow… Black on white, that sounds so easy on paper… If only it was.

WASHINGTON (CNN) - Anger over claims the NSA is spying on people around the world is spilling onto the streets of Washington.
That's where demonstrators rallied against the nation's surveillance programs.
"The way CISPA is written, the NSA believes it will legalize what they are currently doing illegally. Now we know that's nonsense, the constitution makes what they are doing illegal. You can't pass a statute to undo the constitution," said Rep. Justin Amash (R-Michigan).
The U.S. government has come under fire for claims the NSA spied on foreign allies, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
A state department spokeswoman said President Barack Obama has directed the government to review its surveillance capabilities.
"Who is looking at all this personal information? How will it be used? How will it be abused," said Gary Johnson, former governor of New Mexico. "Stand up America, we are mad as hell, and we want you to stop this spying on us now."

Top Criterions of 2010
by Giampaolo Bianconi
Let the year end lists roll out. In preparation for our Company selection of the best films of 2010, I thought I'd tease out a selection of the best DVDs of the year from the Criterion Collection, one fetish for which I will never apologize.
1) Colossal Youth, dir. Pedro Costa (2006) — This film is enormous. Puts Costa in league with Béla Tarr. I love this movie.
2) Lola Montes, dir. Max Ophuls (1955) — Lush from the man who invented it. A spectacle gets the DVD it deserves.
3) Red Desert, dir. Michelangelo Antonioni (1964) — There's only one way to watch Antonioni's first foray into color filmmaking: on film. If you can't do that, do this.
4) Underworld, dir. Josef von Sternberg (1927) — The film that launched the classic American gangster genre. There is a world inside the world.
5) Paisan, dir. Roberto Rossellini (1946) — Rossellini's episodic follow-up to Rome, Open City is even more beautiful and, until now, much harder to find.
Runners-up: Make Way for Tomorrow and Night Train to Munich. No matter how good Criterion's releases are, I always manage to find a fault: couldn't they put out more Godard instead of Broadcast News? Do they really need to remaster The Ice Storm or Easy Rider instead of giving Kiarostami some extra distribution? But I guess Criterion gotta eat. Either way, a continual tip of the hat from me (even though you've been tipping my wallet for a while now).

Hanuman Quotes from Ramayana
10 comments:
Abhi, could you please let us know exactly what canto, chapter and verse number in Valmiki Ramayan these statements are found at. Many persons don't accept that Hanuman considered the conception of oneness of the jiva and Bhagavan to be the highest conception. They consider that Hanuman felt that his individuality and service to Rama was higher to him than the conception of oneness. If you could cite where these verses are from (quoting the Sanskrit would also help) then it might put to rest these arguments.
- April 21, 2008 at 6:40 AM

Hi, the first two quotes I found it an article in Times of India, Speaking Tree section 27 Apr 2002.
The third quote is from the Kishkinda Kanda Chapter 9, Tara's Grief – Ramayana by Kamala Subrahmaniam – Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan.
Personally, I feel Hanuman chose Ram Bhakti as the path to Brahman realization or to realize the concept of oneness. - April 21, 2008 at 9:36 AM
- Madhavananda Das said...
Hi Abhi, I hope that all is well for you. Thank you for being so kind to take the time to check the sources for me.
As you must know there are various schools of thought within the tradition popularly known as "Hinduism". To cite two: The followers of the Shankar Vedanta school consider the highest manifestation of the absolute to be the all-pervading brahman, while the various branches of the Vaishnava or Bhakti-vedanta school, consider the Lord's personal form to be the highest.
Corresponding to their conceptions of the absolute, these two schools have similar conceptions of liberation: The Shankar school considers merging with brahman to be the highest, while the goal of the Vaishnavas is to attain a personal form in the spiritual world with which they can render loving service to the Lord.
I was born in the USA and for the last 26 years, I've been a disciple of the Gaudiya branch of Vaishnavism. For the last 15 years I've been living in Bhubaneswar, Orissa, India where I am the editor for two magazines, "Sri Krishna Kathamrita" and "Sri Krishna Kathamrita Bindu". My following comments are based on the Gaudiya school of Vedanta.
I looked up the third quote that you cited. We have four editions of Valmiki Ramayan in our library, this statement is found in all four as a translation of Kishkindha-kanda chapter 21 texts 1-3. The English translation you gave is basically the same as that given by both Sri Hari Prasad Sastri, and the Gita Press translation.
Regarding the first couple of quotes, of course without a proper reference not much can be said to substantiate them. Personally, I would be interested in seeing their source (especially the second citation). I've read Valmiki Ramayana a number of times and I don't recall seeing anything therein similar to the second quote.
If some other readers can provide the source I would appreciate it.
In the bhakti or devotional school of thought we have a different conception of Hanuman's mood. You can see this in the following statements of Hanuman:
(For clarity, I'm including the Sanskrit transliteration followed by a general translation, and a word for word explanation at the end):
bhava-bandha-cchide tasyai spṛhayāmi na muktaye
bhavān prabhur ahaṁ dāsa iti yatra vilupyate
[Hanuman said:] "Even though liberation destroys the bondage of material existence, I have no desire for liberation, in which I would forget that you are the master and I am your servant."
bhaktiḥ sevā bhagavato muktis tat-pada-laṅghanam
ko mūḍho dāsatāṁ prāpya prābhavaṁ padam icchati
[Sri Hanuman explains:] Bhakti means devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Mukti means impersonal liberation, where there is no longer any devotional service. Only a fool will give up service to the Lord and instead aspire to become one with the Lord Himself.
You wrote:
"Personally, I feel Hanuman chose Ram Bhakti as the path to Brahman realization or to realize the concept of oneness."
I respect that. The followers of Shankar and related schools, will naturally consider brahman realization as highest.
Thanks for your comments Abhi. I hope that all is well for you.
Madhavananda Das
These were cited in the early 1500s by the famous saints and erudite scholars Rupa and Sanatan Goswamis. The first sloka is quoted by Rupa and Sanatan in their Bhakti-rasamrita-sindhu (1.2.49) and Brihad Bhagavatamrta (1.4.68) respectively. Rupa credits it as, prasiddhaṁ śrī-hanumad-vākyam, "a well-known statement by Hanuman."
The second verse was cited by Rupa in his Padyavali text 111. He cites Sri Shivamauni as the author.
bhava — of material existence; bandha — the bondage; chide — which destroys; tasyai — for it; sprhayāmi na — I do not aspire; muktaye — for liberation; bhavān — You; prabhuḥ — the master; aham — I; dāsaḥ — the servant; iti — thus; yatra — in which; — is lost.
bhaktiḥ — bhakti; sevā — service; bhagavataḥ — to the Supreme Personality of Godhead; muktiḥ — mukti; tat — that; pada — position; laṅghanam — jumping over; kaḥ — what?; mūḍhaḥ — fool; dāsatām — the position of a servant; prāpya — having attained; prābhavam padam — liberation; icchati — desires.

Chocolate? Not here! - TMW
The good viewing news was that there was a display of cute gingerbread houses to gaze upon.
There was also an ice sculpture contest going on outside while we were there.
But the best new was that I came home with $39 from a penny slot only using $5 (woohoo).
To visit the world of others, go to That's my world!

Languages: English
In 1970 a group of students at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, IL began meeting to discuss the relationship between their Christian faith and troubling social and political issues, particularly the Vietnam War and the decay of ethics and values within American society. In 1971, the group created a publication entitled The Post-American: Voice of the People's Christian Coalition, dedicated to their cause of radical Christian commitment and social justice. The editorial on the first page began with the assessment, "[W]e find ourselves in the midst of a radical awakening, among people who are raising basic questions about the quality of life in the world we inherit … [w]e are characterized by our protest and our frustrated search for counter-cultural alternatives more amendable to justice, peace, human values, and spiritual meaning."
From the beginning, the Post-American posited the "revolutionary nature" of Christian faith, a faith that requires total commitment to Christ, as the cure to the ills of contemporary society. However, the group not only criticized the "status-quo" of society and politics, but also the American church for its non-confrontational silence on many social issues. For the People's Christian Coalition, there was no place for social complacency in Christianity. Their mission is "to build a movement of people who seek to demonstrate the vital biblical connection between spiritual renewal and social justice."
In 1975 the group continued its mission by moving operations to Washington, D.C., starting an outreach ministry in the inner-city neighborhood of Columbia Heights. There, the group adopted the name "Sojourners," reflecting their status as Christian pilgrims "present in the world but committed to a different order." The Sojourners lived in a communal setting and continued to publish their social action periodical, also re-named Sojourners, as well as organizing and participating in peace events and similar demonstrations.
In the decades since the founding of their small community, Sojourners has developed into an international organization, still dedicated to a common "rule of life" and emphasizing Christian community and social action in the name of Christ. The group still publishes the bi-monthly Sojourners magazine, and partners its devotion to social justice with a devotion to witnessing the Good News of Christ to a distressed world. Sojourners represent the radical nature of Christian faith, a set of values not well understood by an individualistic, competitive society.

Wed, 25 Apr 2012 Sky News for iPad review
Quality news, quality app, but at a price.
- Manufacturer: BSkyB
- Pros: Excellent, informative news coverage, additional live news feeds, attractive app with intuitive interface, Airplay support, supplementary background content including Infographics and comment.
- Cons: Non Sky customers pay a premium, live Sky News stream not available outside the UK or Ireland.
- Min specs: Requires iOS 4.2 or later.
- Price: Free (£4.99 per month for non-Sky customers)
- Star rating:
British satellite TV broadcaster BSkyB has a decent track record of producing quality iPhone apps covering news and sport. Sky News for iPad, a recent addition, is no exception, making the most of Apple's roomier tablet screen and improved display. The iPad app differs from its smaller sibling by offering a time line of recent news coverage, so users can cherry pick reports of interest and near-live breaking news. Generally Sky sticks to the last 24 hours of news coverage, while clearly highlighting what they believe to be the top stories of the day. Despite the busy content, the apps navigation feels intuitive and newbies can view a short video tutorial explaining how everything works.
Additionally, Sky News for iPad, in the UK and Ireland at least, offers a live feed of the channel along with live news streams normally only found via the interactive Sky Digital red button. Videos can be viewed at a good size while Sky gives viewers the option to rewind both recorded and live broadcasts. Background information is available on many stories, while galleries, graphs, tables, articles and interactive graphics help to paint the broader picture and put news in context.
Sky News for iPad was originally offered free to all, and remains free for Sky customers by logging in using the Sky iD linked to users TV accounts. For the rest of us, a monthly subscription, via in app purchase, costs a fairly hefty £4.99. Feedback on the iTunes Store from customers used to getting news free suggests viewers are unhappy with the decision to charge. While Sky News for iPhone remains free, thanks to a "paywall" of sorts, not even the live Sky News feed is offered free on the iPad version, which is a pity.

Going the distance on the North Shore
Christopher Owen, Cassidy Olson and Adam Matthys completed an ambitious feat last weekend: crossing Lake Superior in kayaks from Port Wing, Wis., to Two Harbors-- about 22 miles-- in 5 ½ hours. The same day, a couple on a quest to bike around Lake Superior passed through Two Harbors. Molly and Rich Hoeg were on the home stretch of their 500-mile journey around the western half of Lake Superior.By: LaReesa Sandretsky, Lake County News Chronicle
Christopher Owen, Cassidy Olson and Adam Matthys completed an ambitious feat last weekend: crossing Lake Superior in kayaks from Port Wing, Wis., to Two Harbors-- about 22 miles-- in 5 ½ hours.
The same day, a couple on a quest to bike around Lake Superior passed through Two Harbors. Molly and Rich Hoeg were on the home stretch of their 500-mile journey around the western half of Lake Superior.
Finally, last week, the News-Chronicle featured Daniel Alvarez who is at the beginning of a 4000-mile journey from Minnesota to Florida in a kayak.
What is it about these long-distance challenges that attract so many people?
"You see things that you don't see at 60 M.P.H.," Rich Hoeg said, referring to the difference between biking and driving.
The Hoegs said meeting people and sightseeing at a slower pace were the best parts of their journey. They completed the challenge to raise awareness of Lake Superior and its health, "but that was just the excuse we used," Molly said.
The three kayakers made their trip to raise money for the program that helped them heal from addiction, Minnesota Teen Challenge. They also did it as a spiritual metaphor—crossing the Big Lake and crossing into a new, healthy, substance-free life.
"Before, it never would have been a feasible task," Owen said.
Fundraising, spreading awareness and sightseeing—all things people can do without a long-distance exercise feat. There's got to be something more, right?
"As human beings, we're always trying to best our limits," said Jeff Brady, media director for the longest annual kayak/canoe race in the world.
Brady co-founded the Yukon River Quest, which follows the Yukon River in Canada for over 400 miles. He has participated three times. The midnight sun allows participants to paddle through the night and the fastest finishers completed the race in just 39 hours. Two days is the average, Brady said.
John Storkamp, director of the Superior Trail Races, blames primal instincts.
"It's kind of retreating back to a little bit more of what we're supposed to do. I'm not sure we were meant to sit at computers in offices," Storkamp said.
Minnesota is the perfect setting for an ultra-distance quest, Storkamp said.
"It's big, it's vast, there's a lot of great areas…that provide an opportunity for all of that," Storkamp said. He estimates that Minnesota has the highest per capita interest in ultra-distance sports in the nation.
The Superior Trail Races he directs take place Sept. 7-8 and participants run 26.2, 50 or 100 miles along the Superior Hiking Trail. There's been more demand than availability for the annual races, but these kinds of undertakings are not without risk.
Many professional long-distance cyclists have died from crash-related injuries and at least two kayakers have died in the last two years while attempting long paddles on Lake Superior.
In addition to being aware of environmental dangers, ultra-distance athletes have to listen to their bodies. Brady had one participant airlifted out of the Yukon race due to dehydration and another world-class paddler give up because of leg pain. An ultra-marathoner made news earlier this year after dying from heart-related issues during a training run.
"As long as people are adequately trained and knowing what they're doing, the real trick to it is staying fed and hydrated," said John Medinger, ultramarathoner and publisher of Ultra Running Magazine.
When running, kayaking or biking long distances, that means carrying enough calories and fresh water to sustain you or planning carefully for stops.
The Hoegs planned their trip months in advance to be sure they had places to sleep and access to food. The kayakers packed energy bars and bottles of water to get them through the trip.
Medinger explained ultra-distance sports as a natural next step for many long-distance athletes. He used to run marathons and after his finishing times plateaued, he looked for something new.
"You get to a point where you can't go faster, but you might be able to go further," Medinger said.
There's been a surge of interest in ultra-sports over the last decade or so. Medinger said ultra-marathon finishes in North America have tripled in that time and Brady said his Yukon event has grown steadily since its inception—the first year, 16 teams participated and this year there were almost 70.
Seasoned athletes fill out most of the entry forms, but some participants do it just for a one-time experience and bragging rights.
"If they get a finisher pin, that's a bucket list thing for them," Brady said.
While marathons were once seen as an undertaking only for professional athletes or more crazy recreational athletes, they've become mainstream in the past decade and attract athletes of all ages and abilities. Are ultra-distance sports becoming the new marathon?
Medinger doesn't think so. Ultramarathoning requires significantly more training than a traditional 26.2-mile marathon.
"It's hard for people to commit the amount of time it takes," he said.
The Hoegs and the Teen Challenge kayakers, however, are both hooked.
"We're definitely trying to think up what to do next," Molly Hoeg said.
You can see more pictures of their trip and read their blogs at superiorfootprints.org and crazyguyonabike.com/doc/TransSuperiorTour.
"It was amazing. I can't wait for next year," Owen said.
They're still accepting donations and can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

"Just when you think you've seen something insane, there's always someone who does something crazier," Storkamp said.

Wounds can become infected with harmful bacteria. This prevents healing and increases the risk of scars. In some cases, the infection may spread to other parts of the body. And infection with the bacteria that cause tetanus can be fatal. Know what to watch for and get prompt treatment for infection.
A wound is more likely to become infected if it:
Results from a puncture, such as from a nail or piece of glass.
Results from a human or animal bite.
Isn't cleaned or treated within 8 hours.
Occurs in your hand, foot, leg, armpit, or groin.
Contains dirt or saliva.
Heals very slowly.
Occurs in a person with diabetes, alcoholism, or a compromised immune system.
Call your healthcare provider at the first sign of infection, such as:
Yellow, yellow-green, or foul-smelling drainage from a wound
Increased pain, swelling, or redness in or near a wound
A change in the color or size of a wound
Red streaks in the skin around the wound
Follow these steps to help keep wounds from developing infection:
Wash the wound right away with soap and water.
Apply a small amount of antibiotic ointment. You can buy this at the drugstore without a prescription.
Cover wounds with a bandage or gauze dressing.
Keep the wound clean and dry for the first 24 hours.
Change the dressing daily using sterile gloves.
Treatment is likely to depend on the type and extent of your infection. Your healthcare provider may prescribe oral antibiotics to help fight bacteria. He or she may also flush the wound with an antibiotic solution or apply an antibiotic ointment. Sometimes an abscess (a pocket of pus) may form. In that case, the abscess will be opened and the fluid drained. You may need hospital care if the infection is very severe.

I am currently in the middle of a kitchen remodel. I bought all new IKEA cabinets and stainless appliances. However there is one area in the kitchen I'm not quite sure what to do with and wanted some suggestions. I will include a picture attachment. Basically it's enclosed plaster where my basement stairs (which are behind the kitchen) come into the kitchen area. Why the heck anyone would design it like that is beyond me, but it is what it is. Currently they just put a piece of cover panel that matched the old cabinets on both sides and a countertop on top. I was going to just do the same, but thought I would see if anyone had other good ideas first. It is 44 1/4 inches long. Oh and don't judge the ugly orange countertops and ugly cabinets! Those are the old ones coming down! | |||
I see a pantry there need more pictures And your floor plan | ||||
i see dinner for the cats on the floor , a cabinet with the micro on it and the edge of an other cabinett meeting at the wall corner and a big hole between the 2. get a cabinet for storing thing on both sides and have a counter top rounded over the empty space and to the other cabinet. this way the cats have their own dining area. i had the same lay out and the dogs love their dining place.This message has been edited.

i agree with thomashenry mo pictures and i see a pantry put the dog/cat food bowl under your table out of the way. then you can scratch his ears when you both eat btw...white bread isnt healthy, try wheat This message has been edited.

You need to change a lot of things and I think you should first change that orange counter top with some nice laminated counter top. | ||||
I also see a pantry, but with extending it to the ceiling, putting in some shelves and /or drawers.If drawers, put them on full extension drawer slides | ||||
j, So if I understand you correctly, the "cabinet" there is really a box covering part of the basement stairs. If so, I'd box it out and then build a pantry from the top of it to the ceiling. You could build it as a closet with drywall or build one with cabinets from IKEA. A floor plan would help and size the plan or any pictures so they don't blow up the board.

My advice may be worth exactly what you pay me for it. :-) For the record I did not stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night. | ||||
I agree with @henrylarry6. You have to change the orange countertop. My suggestion would be to install tiles like in the picture ( http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/...976_1880216208_n.jpg ). Use a tile adhesive to get the job done fast and easy. This video is more explanatory http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ_Vu8YsMew. Tiles make a powerful visual statement. You can choose simple marble or glass tiles. I'm sure it will look amazing.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Christine Welby, | ||||
