The invention relates to a method and apparatus for freezing a sample by solidifying a liquid contained in the sample and widen the distance within the sample where the same is amorphously solidified. For this purpose, the sample is cooled immediately after being irradiated with an electromagnetic wave. The apparatus includes an electromagnetic irradiating means for irradiatine an electromagnetic wave on a sample immediately before freezing thereof.
1. A method of quickly freezing a liquid-containing sample, said method comprising the steps of: subjecting said sample to irradiation with an electromagnetic wave and freezing said sample immediately after said irradiation at a temperature sufficient to form amorphous solid ice therein.
2. A method according to claim 1, wherein said electromagnetic wave is a microwave.
3. A method according to claim 1, wherein said electromagnetic wave is an IR ray.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a freezing method and apparatus for freezing samples by solidifying liquid or fluid materials contained in the samples and more particularly, to a freezing which comprises a means for extending the region of a sample in which it is amorphously solidified.
2. Description of the Prior Art
When samples containing liquids therein, e.g. organism samples, are observed through electron microscope, it is the ususal practice to solidify the sample by quick freezing.
A typical apparatus of the above type is one shown in FIG. 3. In this apparatus, a sample 19 to be frozen is attached to the tip of a plunger 16. The sample 19 is manually, rapidly moved toward a pure copper block 18, which is placed in a Dewar 17 filled with a liquid helium refrigerant 20, until the surface of the sample 19 contacts the surface of the copper block 18. As a consequence, the heat energy of the sample 19 is absorbed by the copper block 18, facilitating quick freezing.
When the sample 19 containing a liquid is frozen, the tissue of the sample 19 is broken by the growth of ice crystals of the liquid. In order to freeze the sample 19 in such a state as it is, it is essential to suppress formation of ice crystals. In this regard, the known apparatus has been so designed that the copper block 18 is cooled to a very low temperature of about 10� K. so that the sample 19 is cooled at a rate as fast as possible. By this, the growth of ice crystals in the sample 19 is minimized, so that the water contained in the sample 19 is solidified in the form of amorphous ice, permitting the sample 19 to be kept as it is.
However, a above known quenching apparatus has the problem that the distance where water contained in the sample 19 is amorphously frozen is limited only to part of the sample 19 at approximately 20 um from its surface which contact the copper block 18.
For high freezing rates, use of liquid helium as a refrigerant is essential which makes it difficult to handle the apparatus because of additional operation costs. This is one of the great reasons for preventing the spread of freezesolidifying techniques.
It is an object of the invention to provide a method and apparatus for freezing samples containing liquids therein which overcome the drawbacks of the prior art method and apparatus.
In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, there is provided a method for quickly freezing a sample comprising of a liquid, a solid material containing a liquid or a liquid material containing solid matters, which comprises quickly freezing the sample immediately after irradiation with an electromagnetic wave.
According to another embodiment of the invention, there is also provided an apparatus for quickly freezing a sample comprising a liquid, a solid material containing a liquid or a liquid material containing solid matters, the apparatus comprising a sample support means for supporting the sample at a lower end thereof, the sample support means being vertically movable, a cooling unit provided below the sample support means and capable of quickly cooling the sample which has arrived thereat, and an electromagnetic wave irradiation means provided above the cooling unit and capable of irradiating an electromagnetic wave on the sample which has passed across the irradiation means.
In the freezing method and apparatus, when the liquid contained in the sample is water, the electromagnetic waves may be microwaves or IR rays.
In the practice of the invention, attention has been paid, for example, to the hydrogen bond of water molecules which is one of the crystal growth factors in the sample. Immediately after this bond is disturbed by means of an electromagnetic wave, the temperature of the sample is quickly lowered. As a result, the growth of ice crystals is prevented and the distance into the sample in which water is amorphously frozen is significantly widened. More particularly, when electromagnetic waves are irradiated on a sample attached to the sample support means, the molecule movement of a liquid, such as water, contained in the sample is excited by the action of the electromagnetic waves, so that the hydrogen bond of water molecules is transiently disturbed. The sample held at the sample support means reaches the cooling unit, whereupon it is quickly cooled and frozen. Since the hydrogen bond of water in the sample is disturbed, the growth of the crystals is impeded and the liquid is solidified amorphously.
It will be noted that the term "amorphous solid" is intended to mean both a purely amorphous solid material and a crystalline solid material whose crystal size is not larger than 20 nm and which can be regarded as amorphous through observation with an electron microscope.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a freezing apparatus according to the invention;
FIG. 2(a) is a side view, in longitudinal section, of a waveguide used in the freezing apparatus;
FIG. 2(b) is a plan view, in cross section, of the waveguide used in the freezing apparatus; and
FIG. 3 is a schematic view of a known freezing apparatus.
A freezing method and apparatus according to a preferred embodiment of the invention is described.
A freezing apparatus embodying the invention is shown in FIG. 1. The apparatus of the invention has fundamentally a construction similar to that of the known apparatus shown in FIG. 3, wherein an organism sample piece or sample 7, which has been attached to a tip of a plunger 1 used as a sample support means, is press contacted with a cooled copper block 3 in a Dewar 2 and is thus quenced.
At the tip of the plunger 1 is provided a first damper 5 which is an air damper and which has at its tip thereof a second damper 6 attached to the sample 7. The second damper 6 may be a block such as, for example, of foamed silicone gel. The plunger 1 is guided by a linear bearing 8 and dropped vertically from the position shown in FIG. 1, and may be elevated. The initial dropping velocity is regulated by means of a link 12 biased by a spring 11.
A cooling unit is provided below the plunger 1 in order to quench the sample 7. The cooling unit has a Dewar 2 filled with a refrigerant 21 and the copper block 3, which is cooled by the refrigerant 21, has a flat upper surface.
A means for irradiating electromagnetic is disposed along the path on which the sample 7 and the copper block 3 travel by the dropping of the plunger 8. In the embodiment shown in the figure, the electromagnetic wave irradiation means includes a conductive waveguide 4 located above the copper block 3 and an electromagnetic wave generator 9. The generator 9 has an electromagnetic wave emitter 13 which is located at the left end of the waveguide 4 as shown in FIG. 1. The electromagnetic generator 9 is driven by a power supply 10. The waveguide 4 has throughholes 14a, 14b which are provided just above the copper block 3 and of the a minimum size neccessary for passing the tip of the plunger 1. When the plunger 1 is dropped, the sample 7 can reach the upper surface of the copper block 3 through the through-holes 14a, 14b.
In view of the properties of the waveguide 4, irradiation of the sample 7 with electromagnetic waves emitted from the electromagnetic wave emitter 13 is possible only when the sample is located between the throughholes 14a and 14b of the waveguide 4. Even when the electromagnetic generator 9 is continuously driven, no irradiation takes place when the sample is above the hole or after completion of the freezing.
In the waveguide 4 at the right end of FIG. 1, a movable wall 15 is provided which can be horizontally moved by means of a position adjuster 16 as viewed in FIG. 1. Electromagnetic waves at frequency emitted from the electromagnetic emitter 13 of the electromagnetic generator 9 become stationary waves in the waveguide 4 after superposition with reflected electromagnetic waves at the movable wall 15. The adjustment in position of the movable wall 15 with the position adjuster 16 depends on the wavelength of the electromagnetic waves can maximize the intensity of the electric field irradiated on the sample 7 passed through the through-holes 14a, 14b.
The electromagnetic waves irradiated on the sample are, for example, microwaves, infrared rays and the like whose wave lengths are properly selected depending on the type of liquid to be solidified, thus showing a satisfactory irradiation effect. Where the liquid is water, which is most common, microwaves having a frequency of 2.45 GHz can be used. The refrigerant used in the cooling unit may be not only liquefied gases such as liquid nitrogen, but also cooling media transferred through heat exchangers. The heat transmission with the sample 7 may be, aside from the metal contact system using the copper block 3, direct immersion in or application to liquefied gases or cooled gases.
The procedure for carrying out the freezing method of the invention by operation of the above apparatus is described below.
Liquid nitrogen is filled in the Dewar 2 to cool the copper block 3.
The second damper 6, having the sample attached at the tip thereof, is attached to the tip of the first damper 5. The material for the second damper may be foamed silicone gel (having a diameter of 100 and a thickness of 3 mm). The size of the sample is most appropriately 3 mm square and may be in the range of 1 mm to 5 mm square.
A magnetron (output power of 600 W, oscillation frequency of 2.45 GHz) was used as the electromagnetic wave generator and the power supply 10 was turned on to cause electromagnetic waves to be emitted from the electromagnetic wave emitter 13 into the waveguide.
The plunger 1 descends by gravity and the resilience of the spring 11 attached to the link 12. During the passage of the sample, which is attached at the tip of the plunger, in the waveguide 4 (passing time is about 50 milli-seconds), microwaves are irradiated to excite the molecules of water in the sample 7. In this condition, the plunger further descends until the sample is press contacted with the cooled copper block thereby quickly freezing it.
The power to the electromagnetic generator 9 is terminated.
The plunger 1 is quickly pulled up and the frozen sample 7 is collected and kept in liquid nitrogen (not shown), completing all of the operations.
The shape of the waveguide which has been used in practical applications is described. The waveguide used is a rectangular waveguide as shown in FIG. 2. The reason for this is that it design is simple and electromagnetic waves can be readily carried. In the figure, reference numeral 13 indicates an electromagnetic wave emitter of electromagnetic generator 9 and reference numerals 14a, 14b, respectively, indicate through-holes through which the tip of the plunger 1 attached with the sample 7 are passed. In view of the properties of the waveguide 4, it is known that the amount of electromagnetic waves that leak from the through-holes 14, 14b to the outside is small. The movable wall 15 provided at the right end, as viewed in the figure, is connected to the position adjuster 16, by which the position of the wall is adjusted, so that the intensity of the electric field of the electromagnetic waves becomes maximized in the vicinity of the through-holes 14a, 14b.
More particularly, the plunger 1 used has a diameter of 12 mm and is made of Derlin resin (acetal resin), the Dewar 2 is made of foamed styrol resin with an inner capacity of 500 ml, the copper block 3 has a diameter of 15 mm and a length of 15 mm and is made of pure copper with a purity of 99.99%, and the waveguide is made of a 0.5 mm thick copper sheet. The waveguide has a size of 340 mm in length, 105 mm in width and 40 mm in height. The horizontal distance between the electromagnetic emitter 13 and the through-holes 14a, 14b is 295 mm and the diameter of the through-holes is 20 mm.
Using the above apparatus, the liver of mouse frozen according to the above procedure was observed through an electron microscope. The frozen sample was treated by freeze and substitution with acetone, embedding with Epon, ultrathin sectioning and uranium lead double dyeing. This procedure was carried out according to the method described in Preparation Method of Electron-microscopic Samples, edited by The Japanese Association of Electron Microcscope.
The results of the observation revealed that no crystals of ice were found at a distance of about 20 um from the surface of the sample which contacted the metal block. Although very fine ice crystals were present in a depth of 40 um, that portion was frozen in a state of not impeding the microscopic observation.
As will be apparent from the above results, in the case of water contained in organism samples, it is essential in the prior art to use liquid helium as a refrigerant in order to increase the freezing rate for obtaining an amorphous frozen state in a sample for a distance of approximately 20 um from the heat radiation surface at the time of freezing of the sample or from the contact of the sample surface with the copper block. In contrast thereto, according to the above example of the invention, a substantially amorphously frozen state could be obtained in a sample at a distance um of 40 from the surface of sample at a freezing rate as attained by liquid nitrogen.
Thus, according to the invention, the freezing region generating amorphous ice can be more readily and more significantly extended than that attained by known freezing methods and apparatuses.
Although the invention has been described in its preferred form with a certain degree of particularity, it is to be understood that many variations and changes are possible in the invention without departing from the scope thereof.

The Infiniti vehicles are known for its peculiarity, updated technology and sound performance. Infiniti automobile manufacturer is an United States based company. It has standard quality SUV's, Sports cars, Sedans and Coupe. Most of the latest Infiniti vehicles are air-conditioned except the vehicles like trucks the cannot be air-conditioned. Air conditioning in a Infiniti vehicle can be made of various types depending on the feature adopted. Air conditioning system is made up of various components working together. Out of those AC compressor is a heart of the AC system.
An AC compressor is a pump which is belted to the engine. The unique purpose of an AC system is to provide cool circumstance inside the vehicle. This can be done with the help of AC compressor which compress and transfer the refrigerant gas. An AC system is basically segregated into two partitions. A high pressure side and a low pressure side that performs the suction and the discharge respectively. As the AC compressor is generally a pump, it must have both the suction and the discharge side. The suction side of a compressor sucks the refrigerant gas from the outlet of the evaporator with the help of an accumulator. Once the accumulator draws the refrigerant gas into the suction side it is compressed using the AC compressor pump. Such compressed gas is then it is sent to the clutch in the discharge side. This can now transfer the heat which is absorbed from inside the vehicle.
If the Infiniti AC compressor is worn out or leaky then there is chance for malfunctioning of the AC system itself. This in turn may affect other parts in the low power side or the high power side. So it is better to replace it immediately with the high quality parts that are available with us. At Car Parts Warehouse, we sell all the products at the lowest on line prices. We have many warehouses in United States and so we provide all that products at the earliest with a free shipping for all orders above $50.00. All products are original equipment (OEM).

Broad Street Parkway update set for Thursday in Nashua
Ward 4 residents wanting to learn more about the timeline of the work, changes to Fairmount Street and other traffic disruptions are encouraged to attend Thursday's meeting beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the Amherst Street Elementary School, 71 Amherst St.
Brown said there have also been some concerns raised about traffic on Fairmount Street, as the heavy police presence that initially existed during the start of construction has since dwindled.
Thursday's meeting will be the second of its kind in the Ward 4 neighborhood. Last October, residents gathered to discuss detours, drainage, asbestos and more. At the time, Mayor Donnalee Lozeau acknowledged that the initial phase of construction was going to be disruptive.
However, by educating citizens about the timeline and process of the first construction phase for the nearly two-mile road, Lozeau said previously that she is hopeful it will help the project run smoother.
R.S. Audley Inc. was hired to perform about $11 million in work on the first phase of the parkway. Under contract, the firm has until Nov. 1, 2014, to finish the Baldwin Street bridge portion.
The estimated cost to complete the roadway is about $68 million, with $37.5 million being paid by the city and the rest through federal funds.

Oh dear. I can see the feminist history-revisionists jumping on this one now. Let's see; it'll be something like: "New evidence indicates human ancestors' tool use originated with women, proving that in the ancient past, the human race was in fact female-dominated."
"Men are worthless. Men are scum. Men did nothing for the advance of human civilisation. Humanity started on the path to civilisation only because women did this and that and the other."

WARNING!: Highly angsty and tragic. BOTH characters DIE in the end. Read on your own risk. (1,600words)
Perseorra and Medusami
Asami was used to solitude, surrounded by the statues of lost-name heroes so called champions who had tried to slay her. None rival, none deliverer. Sometimes she even wished for one of them to succeed, to finally bring peace to her life of loneliness... but it was just so fun to watch them try.
Asami's bifurcated tongue nipped out and caught a scent. It was like no other before... a touch of sweat, a touch of ocean breeze and salt, a touch of sand and mud... and a touch of blood. A warrior, no doubt, someone here to claim her head, she was sure, but yet different. Anyhow, she could use some entertainment tonight.
She followed the scent just to find the unusual source.
"A woman?" she muttered to herself from behind a column, far away from the girl's sight.
The warrior looked unlike previous ones. Not just her gender, but every one of the slayers that had come here were clearly afraid of what they could find. And with all reason, no one has ever leaved. But this girl, this... enemy, looked strong and confident, even mighty. This was going to be a nice statue to watch on those long lonely nights.
She smiled to herself.
"What brings you here, oh great hero." Asami talked to the air, letting her voice to echo through the temple.
The warrior turned all around, not sure of where the voice came from. She was disconcerted... of all the monsters she have defeated before none of them had had such a sweet voice.
"I'm here to claim your head, you monster!" The woman shout, brandishing her blade.
"Monster?" Asami inquire, leaving out a soft and melodic giggle. "I'm not the one looking for things to kill."
The sword woman was sure taken aback by the sudden realization. But she was a hero and this was her job.
"Tell me your name, champion, so I could carve it in your grave."
"I'm Korra, daughter of Tonraq, leader of the southern lands! I'm the protector of people and guardian of peace!"
Asami couldn't help but to laugh.
"You don't fool me, guardian of peace. You're here for glory, glory that only slaughtering me will give you."
Korra turned around again, hearing the voice getting closer and closer. It was dark, and the torches nearby gave her only a couple of feet of clear view.
"Come here, monster, so I can show you glory." Korra teased.
"I have a name, you know. Well, I used to have one... when I was mortal, like you."
"You think all us 'monsters' just pop out the ground? No. I was once the priestess of this temple, but when I refused to surrender my body to the god I served... he turned me into this."
Korra saw a shadow moving through the pillars. It looked like a snake, a big one.
"You're lying."
"Why would I?" Asami said amused. "You're not leaving this place alive anyway."
Something moved behind Korra, making her turn again.
"Then who are you?" Korra asked to the empty halls. "What's your name?"
"My name... is Asami. I was the daughter of the richest man on these lands. It was expected from me to serve our god. But when he tried to take me I fought back... and this was the price I paid."
Suddenly a female figure walked in front of Korra, although 'walk' wasn't the correct word to describe it. From hips up Korra was sure she had never laid eyes on such a beautiful woman, loose long raven hair, full red lips, perfectly shaped breast... but from hips down the woman had the body of a huge snake that slid smoothly over the ground.
Korra noticed the creature's eyes were closed.
"But you killed all those people." Korra said still in a defensive stand.
"Do you think I looked for that to happen? Do you think I enjoyed it?"
"Then why?"
"At first I couldn't helped it. I was cursed with eyes that can turn living things into stone." Asami moved through the pillars, making Korra's sight to follow her. She approached to one of the worn out statues and continued. "I wanted them to help me... but as soon as my eyes locked on theirs..."
Asami touched the old rock and it crumbled.
"And the heroes?"
"They came here to kill me! What did you expected me to do?!"
Korra chuckled softly.
"What's so funny?"
"You're a fighter, just like me." Korra pointed, sheathing her sword.
Asami identified the sound of the blade being putting back on its scabbard. She turned to face Korra, her eyes still closed.
"You're not going to try and kill me?"
"Well, all of this makes things a little different. To me looks like you're the lady in distress. I'm the hero, so I'm supposed to help you."
"You are a very strange hero, Korra." Asami said with a smile. "How do you know I'm not lying?"
"I wasn't supposed to leave this place alive, remember?"
Both women laughed. The scene was as bizarre as it could get. Korra thought she was going to find a heartless beast and Asami thought a brainless warrior was after her... life sure takes many twist and turns.
"Um... Korra, can I ask you something?"
"Do you have something to cover my eyes, like a belt or a piece of fabric? It's becoming really hard for me not to look at you... and I really don't want to kill you."
"I wouldn't want that either." Korra replied, content. "Here."
Korra ripped up one of her sleeves and handed it to Asami. Their skins brushed for a second and Asami felt her cheeks blush a little. She put the blindfold over her eyes.
"You're... cold." Korra stated.
"I know. I'm sorry." Asami answered, embarrassed.
"Don't be." Korra felt silent for a moment. "Can I... touch you?" Korra noticed how Asami's body tensed. "I'm not going to hurt you."
"I know... it's just... It's been so long since..."
Asami jumped a little when she felt Korra's hand taking hers. A firm, warm, rough but gentle hand caressed her forearm, up to her shoulder, giving her goose bumps while it kept traveling over her clavicle and to her jaw. She couldn't help to breathe deeper and heavier at the sensation.
Korra placed her hand on Asami's cheek making her leave out a soft sigh. She noticed a little wet mark on the fabric over the creature's eyes.
'Creature' became such a rude term for her to use now... she felt so guilty to have called her 'monster'.
"Korra." Asami murmured when she felt warm fingers brushing her lips.
"I wish I could have met you before." Korra declare, still caressing that cold, marbled skin.
"Before I became a monster?" Asami said with a trembling voice.
"Before you lose hope."
Asami couldn't help to fall apart.
Korra caught her, letting the woman cry over her chest.
"I'm sorry I failed you, Asami." Korra said, tightening her embrace.
"Deliver me."
"I can't."
"Korra... please... make this all end... please."
The great hero of the south felt a lump in her throat.
"If I did that, I'll be the monster."
"Please, Korra..."
"No. Don't ask me to..."
"I'm begging you!"
"You will..." Asami whispered before taking a deep breath, "...or you'll perish."
The creature pushed the warrior away and granted such a powerful blow with her tail that Korra was sent flying away, hitting on one of the columns of the temple. She groaned in pain.
"Asami! Stop!"
She barely dodged another strike, so strong that brought the pillar down, collapsing the ceiling in the area.
With the dust and most of the torches out, darkness deepened. Korra instinctively wielded her sword.
"Don't do this! Asami!"
"Asami is no more." A cold lifeless voice confirmed. "And your story ends here."
A dark shadow changed directly to her. Korra shut her eyes and brandished her sword.
Something hit the floor... then silence.
Korra opened her eyes, slowly at first... but when she saw the headless body of the one she had wanted to save, the blade crash on the ground and the girl kneeled... defeated.
"I'm sorry... Asami... I'm sorry."
She couldn't hold the tears back anymore. Her blurry sight hardly let her see, but even though, in the blackness around, she was able to see the other woman's head... blindfold still in place.
Korra drag herself near it, taking it softly and bringing it closer to her chest. The expression on it was almost peaceful.
"Forgive me." The so-called-hero pleaded. "I... I promise you..."
The woman took the blindfold off, revealing a pair of stunning jade eyes. Korra smiled softly at the irony and understood... the beauty of this girl's eyes was enough to bring down any enemy, entire armies could have surrender to them... even the whole empire.
"I promise you'll never be alone again."
Those eyes glowed like the green, fresh grass of the Elysian Fields. And on its depths, Korra saw a vivacious, young, gorgeous woman... loose long raven hair, full red lips, perfectly shaped breast, lovely jade eyes and a pair of long, toned legs... running toward her with a bright wide smile.
Asami bounce onto the strong woman's arms, enjoying the power, the heat. And when she finally fixed eyes with her champion, she could see the clear blue skies in them, quiet and gentle, but passionate and intense, like the ocean itself.
Without hesitation, the two woman looked for eternity in each other's lips. And with that first and final kiss, they draw into nothingness.

NASCAR will look at Martin's crash
Mark Martin's car went sliding off the track at Michigan International Speedway and crashed sideways into a pit road barrier. The vehicle was pierced by the short, narrow end of the wall, but Martin was able to walk away.
RUSH HOURNASCAR had three series running in Montreal and Michigan. Check out the best shots from the action at both tracks.
It was a fluky accident - exactly the type of thing that scares drivers and racing officials alike.
''When we see things like that, it's just a reminder to us that the work on safety never stops,'' said Robin Pemberton, NASCAR's vice president for competition.
Pemberton said Monday that NASCAR is ready to take a look at Martin's scary crash from Sunday's Sprint Cup race. The driver's team will be consulted, and aerial photos will be studied.
MIS track president Roger Curtis says he's ready to follow NASCAR's lead. His track doesn't have another NASCAR race this year, and Curtis says it's important not to rush into changes that might solve one safety issue while creating another.
''We don't want to make a knee-jerk reaction,'' he said.
The worst of the impact to Martin's car was just in front of the left rear tire, dangerously close to the driver-side door.
The issue that came up Sunday isn't unique to MIS. The end of the pit row barrier is exposed because of a gap in the wall that allows vehicles to enter and exit. That gap is there for race vehicles and safety vehicles, Pemberton said.
THAT'S THE WAY!Keselowski's back in charge after JJ's setback. NASCAR Power Rankings
''We need to get in and out off of pit road,'' he said.
Martin knew he was fortunate but was upbeat after the wreck.
''The pit wall hole or opening came so late that I didn't have much time to even think about it,'' Martin said. ''Prior to seeing that opening, my biggest deal was trying to stay off of that inside wall so that I could still have a racecar to challenge and try to win the race. ... It's unfortunate. I fought it with everything I had, but with where I came from and the speed that I came from and the confines of pit road, I couldn't miss it.''
It wasn't just Martin who was at risk Sunday.
''When Mark Martin slid down pit road, he ended up halfway into our pit,'' Kasey Kahne said. ''One of our guys got hit a little bit by a tire. His oil tank exploded and stuff. That was really close to a really bad situation, but it turned out all right. We're all lucky, for sure.''
Now NASCAR will try to learn from the incident, while being thankful nobody was hurt in the unusual crash.
NOTES: Curtis said he ''loved'' how things went for MIS this season after the track was re-paved in the offseason. Qualifying speeds surpassed 200 mph for the Sprint Cup race in June, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. ended up snapping his four-year losing streak with a victory that weekend. Sunday's race was won by Greg Biffle after Jimmie Johnson's engine faltered with six laps to go. ... Curtis says he's fine with the fact that his track isn't part of the Chase for the Sprint Cup, which starts next month. He worries how fans would be affected if school was in session during a race week. ''I wouldn't want to make it into a Chase race,'' he said. ''I think it would hurt our camping. We get so many campers.''

Situated inside the historic Power & Light building, the Geneva Lake Museum replicates Lake Geneva's Main Street from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Inside the museum, visitors stroll around admiring the turn-of-the-century Georgian and Italianate architecture that forms historic stores, a school room, and a 1920s dental workstation, among other spaces. Guests may walk into the rooms themselves and closely examine old-fashioned farm implements, a telephone switchboard, or Potawatami tools and arrowheads. Beyond Main Street, museum visitors can study up on Frank Lloyd Wright's Hotel Geneva or the Chicago & North Western Railway. Sightseers can also explore Lake Geneva, the city's namesake and a 7.6-mile body of water that empties into the White River. The lake is surrounded by a 23-mile public path, which makes the area attractive to Midwesterners who want to take a scenic day trip or ducks that want to train for a marathon.
A family walks down a lane cut into a sprawling field of corn, striding confidently until they reach a fork. After a debate, they turn left, and eventually left again. A wooden bridge leapfrogs them to a new path, lined with rows of eerily similar corn stalks. Luckily, it's a balmy day, the blue sky striated with wispy clouds, and they're not in a hurry to emerge from the green ocean of corn.
From an observation deck nearby, the 28-acre cornfield looks like a postage stamp inside the 450-acre farm, which grows soybeans, corn, and more than 50,000 Christmas trees. Homesteaded in 1840, the land is now owned and worked by a third generation of Richardsons. The family wanted to welcome visitors to the farm to enjoy the rural, outdoorsy fun that could only fit on such a sprawling space. They planted the corn maze?among the world's largest?and devised other attractions such as a zipline and paintball gallery. Visitors can also cheer on racing pigs, pet animals in an interactive zoo, and participate in different maze games. In autumn families come to pick pumpkins and in winter they cut their own Christmas trees.
The Waukesha County Museum, which started in a basement room of the old courthouse in 1914, houses a more-than-2,000-square-foot repository for American history. The Memories of World War II touring exhibit pays homage to veterans, photographers, and reporters with more than 100 photos from Associated Press archives in addition to testimonies and hundreds of artifacts donated by local residents. Duck into the Greatest Generation Theater for a 20-minute film that illuminates the sagas of four local surviving WWII veterans.
In 1848, dairy cows grazed on the 30 acres that now host the Volo Auto Museum's five showrooms. The mooing of heifers has given way to the imaginary roar of 200 collector cars and 100 gleaming autos that once graced movie and television sets—including a Batmobile from the 1966 TV series, a Herbie from the latest movie, and one of the first General Lees. After ogling the television and movie collection, guests can wander among vintage and antique vehicles and reminisce about the days when we still had to go places in person.
Nearby, the military exhibit's realistic scenery surrounds vehicles ranging from a WWII BMW motorcycle with sidecar to a 1967 Bell helicopter shot down in Vietnam. After examining older artillery and artifacts, visitors can gaze at cases holding items retrieved from Saddam Hussein's palace and from captured Iraqi soldiers. Those below driving age can explore kids' attractions, including SpongeBob's boatmobile.
Guests traverse the vast showrooms on foot or via a 1915, Victorian-style trolley, free on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Trolley tours begin by exploring autos that used to be stabled by the rich and famous alongside their unicorns. They then venture into the old dairy farm's 19th-century barn, where activity by Civil War ghosts has drawn investigators from the Discover Channel's Ghost Lab. Before leaving, visitors can refuel with an Angus-beef patty at the Betty Boop Burger Bar and Beer Garden or drop into four antique malls.
Situated in the heart of downtown Racine, RAM is dedicated to the exhibition, education, and collection of contemporary visual art. With more than 5,000 objects in its permanent collection, the 46,000-square-foot space houses one of North America's largest collections of contemporary crafts in a multitude of mediums such as ceramics and fiber arts. The museum also constantly cycles in new retina-rallying exhibitions such as the current Not So Still Life, examining a range of quirky interpretations of classic still-life subjects such as fruit bowls or avant-garde Jello molds. Visitors can also admire the bold contour lines and expressive mark-making of painter couple Ruth Grotenrath and Schomer Lichtner. Check the exhibitions schedule for a sampling of upcoming shows to fuel future bouts of cognitive calisthenics.
Amur tigers stretch out in the sun, red kangaroos hop leisurely along, and orangutans groom each other in the shade while tree pythons and box turtles roam their tanks, oblivious of each other and everything outside. Nearby, budgies, storks, cormorants, and screech owls roost on perches and soar over the heads of their human visitors. These creatures join a menagerie of more than 250 animals—representing 76 different species—that mingle across 32 acres of natural habitat at the Racine Zoo. Together with their staff counterparts, these animals speak to the zoo's efforts toward conservation and strengthening the bond between humans and their wild neighbors.
Though they can get up close to animal enclosures, visitors also explore more immersive wildlife education through seasonal and year-round attractions. Giraffe encounters allow guests to participate in the supervised feeding of a masai giraffe, and Animal Chats prompt visitors to ask questions of the caretakers, such as how they feed the zoo's carnivores and which of the herbivores prefer italian dressing. At the Benstead Discovery Center, guests greet reptiles and amphibians and watch fish swim in a 2,000-gallon saltwater tank. In the open-air Norco Aviary, visitors can behave as flocks of Australian budgies, rosellas, or cockatiels. Children, meanwhile, frolic across the two-story climbing structure, slides, and zipline at the PlayZoo Playground, or board a colorful, seasonal miniature express train.

NHL Daily Fix: Blackhawks streak rolls on; Selanne climbs goal list
More NHL: Scores | Standings | Odds | Fight-O-Meter | League Leaders | Rumors
The NHL Daily Fix is your morning wakeup call, with news and notes for the day's hockey action.
Morning buzz
• They needed overtime, but the Chicago Blackhawks extended their season opening streak of consecutive games without a regulation loss to 21 with a shootout win over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday night. They look to keep it going on Sunday against the Detroit Red Wings.
But check out that pass by Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews in the video above. He wasn't even looking in the direction of eventual goal-scorer Brent Seabrook, and it appeared that he was looking at the glass for reflections. That is ... pretty amazing, actually.
The Blackhawks are 18-0-3 this season, which is also pretty darn amazing.
• The Anaheim Ducks defeated the Minnesota Wild on Friday night and received another goal from Teemu Selanne. That goal moved him into 11th place on the NHL's career goals list with 669, passing Luc Robitaille. He's two behind No. 10 Jaromir Jagr (who is still playing). The rest of the top 10: Wayne Gretzky, Gordie Howe, Brett Hull, Marcel Dionne, Phil Esposito, Mike Gartner, Mark Messier, Steve Yzerman and Mario Lemieux. [Recap]
• Ryan O'Reilly says it was worth the wait when it comes to getting his new contract. [CJBK 1290]
• Thomas Vanek's status for Saturday's game is unknown. [The Buffalo News]
• Edmonton Oilers forward Taylor Hall had to leave Friday's game with tightness in his leg. It was a "safety precaution" according to coach Ralph Krueger. [Chris Nichols on Twitter]

You really can't compare the love you have for a spouse or significant other to your love of a dog — the two are very different. But it can be easy to get in the habit of showering your adorable canine with love and attention. Dogs actively seek and expect affection, while a loved one may not. This might sometimes leave your partner with a sense that you love the family pet more than you love him. Before you jump into marriage counseling, take a look at our list to see if you truly do love your dog more than your spouse.
You walk through the door after a long day or a trip away and shower your pup with hugs and kisses but don't give the same treatment to your significant other. While your spouse might not need or want immediate cuddle time, be sure he knows you missed him just as much.
You also need to beware of causing behavior issues when greeting your dog. Trainer Mikkel Becker advises that you shouldn't turn your hellos and goodbyes into emotional scenes because they can be distressing for your pooch. This practice can exacerbate separation anxiety and increase your dog's distress at being left alone.
You tell him multiple times a day what a handsome boy he is, but you rarely bother to tell your husband he looks great in that suit or fantastic in that new shirt. Men appreciate compliments, too!
You might upload the occasional photo of your spouse or of the two of you together, but when your friends check out your Facebook feed, it's usually full of pics of you and your dog. Who can blame you? That dog is so photogenic and does the cutest things. But perhaps it might be a better idea to make him his own Facebook page so your friends and family can choose whether or not they want to wade through all those dog park photos.
Nicknames are a clear sign of endearment, and there's a good chance your guy could take offense to the dog being called "sweetheart," "sweet pea" or "baby," especially if the only endearing moniker he gets is "hey you."

I thought I would share the latest updates in DD's dancing journey. Lots of things have happened since my last post.
DD has been dancing 5 days a week since school started this year and she made all As on her first report card! Way to go, kid! Very proud of her. Dance classes are going well, so far. Competition class is rough, but she is in with a group of girls she has danced with for years. They have a ball in there. She dances everywhere we go. She dances through the grocery store, dances all over the house....it never ends. This is my new normal. One of the dance instructors says "it is in her soul".
Earlier this week, we found out all the dancers would have a second part in the Christmas play. DD was supposed to be a snail (snail race in the reindeer games )
Last night, DD was wearing her pointe shoes around the house because she is still trying to get a better arch in them. She twirled around, lost her balance, and fell. I heard her scream in the next room. When I round the corner, I immediately realize she has broken her arm! So we spent a long evening in the ER, paid a lot of money, and went home with her arm in a splint. We see an orthopedic doctor this coming week to get a permanent cast. The good news: it was a small break, doc said it was perfectly lined so no resetting necessary, and dance instructor says she can still dance in the Christmas play. The bad news: she can not be a snail due to the physical requirements, and she will probably sit out for several classes until she gets the hang of the cast.
Her dance instructor says she will find another part for her in addition to being an M&M. She might get to referee some of the reindeer games! She is obviously bummed because this will affect her dancing for at least 6 weeks or so. Competition isn't until Spring, so she should be good to go for that.

DD's arm is healing quite nicely. She is in a cast up past her elbow. She dances the best she can without using that arm. Next week, she goes in for the shorter cast. She is very excited about that.
She will still be an M&M in the Christmas ballet, and she will also be a Who. The catch? When you are a Who, you get to design and make your own costume!!! Yay me!!! Outside of learning a little bit of sewing in Home Economics, I can't really sew. In fact, DH has to thread the bobbin on my sewing machine. I've used it once to make DD a poodle skirt.
So how does one make a Who costume? I'm thinking of making a tutu out of some heavy tulle. Then I was thinking of sewing some Christmas ornaments or Christmas bows on the tutu. She can wear a red or green leotard and I'll get her some funky Christmas tights or knee highs. Any ideas or thoughts? I tried looking on Pinterest for some ideas. Absolutely worthless. I guess I should have anticipated the strange results when I typed in "Dr Seuss Who". Very funny search results.

We are getting close to the end of dance season now. DD is starting to get tired. We had competition this weekend. They did well, especially since this is the first year of competition for most of them. I was shocked at how little some of the dancers from the other studios were wearing. I'm guessing that must be pretty normal and we are the prudes. I can live with that I guess. We saw many more male dancers than we're used to seeing and that was nice. It was a learning experience for sure. I know what to expect next time. Recital is right around the corner. I'm not sure if DD will continue on with pointe. She likes it, but maybe not "enough". Dance line tryouts at school are this week. If she makes it, she may cut back on extra classes at the studio. If not, I imagine she will end up wanting to do more. Preteens are fickle little creatures.

Future of Nursing Initiative
WEDNESDAY, May 11 (HealthDay News) -- Although most medical professionals believe that commercial funding of continuing medical education (CME) introduces bias, most are not willing to pay higher fees to offset or eliminate such funding sources, according to a study published in the May 9 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine.
Jeffrey A. Tabas, M.D., from the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine, and colleagues determined whether participants in CME perceived that commercial support introduced bias, and whether the amount or type of support affected this bias. They also determined whether the participants were willing to pay higher fees or accept fewer amenities to eliminate or decrease the need for such funding. Of the 1,347 participants at a series of five commercially supported CME activities, 770 responded to the structured questionnaires.
The investigators found that 88 percent of the respondents believed that commercial support introduced bias, with greater bias risk introduced with greater commercial support. Although participants who perceived bias were more likely to agree to raise registration fees to decrease this support, only 42 percent were willing to pay increased registration fees to do so, and only 15 percent supported removal of commercial support. The degree of support actually provided by commercial funding, and costs of ancillary activities, such as food, were greatly underestimated by the participants.
"Although many participants perceived that commercial support poses a risk for bias in CME activities, and greater amounts pose greater risk, many did not seem willing to offset those costs by paying more for the activity or decreasing what was offered," the authors write.
CME courses delivered by the International AIDS Society-USA used in the analysis were supported by pooled grants by many pharmaceutical companies; however, none of the grants were used to support the study.

Turn off multicast.. worked for me - image times went down from 3 hours to 20 minutes..
WDS Seems to be taking an age to image machines, 4 machines may take almost a day, and a full classroom even longer. Is there a way to speed up deployment or is it just one of those things which can take a while?
Turn off multicast.. worked for me - image times went down from 3 hours to 20 minutes..
Start "Windows Deployment Services" from "Administrative Tools". Browse to and expand "Multicast transmissions", right-click your deployment name and select "Deactivate".
Thanks for that, but Multicase isn't enabled, I'm just thinking that maybe the image size are massive and its going to take a while.
Well, how big is the image?
Have you tried a PC connected to the same switch as the WDS server for speed?
Is the switching gigabit, is it capable of multicast?
