well just recently i did the Nolani mission solo (lvl 12 w/m - pls dont flame me) and after doing it the first time i missed the bonus. So the second time around i completed the bonus. After doing the bonus I went to see if I had gotten any good items (i.e. black dye, picked one up last time :happy53: ). I discovered that I had a low req(4), low dmg sword (7-14) however it had a perfect sundering mod of 10/10.
I was stoked, I saw it as my chance to finally get some money so I went to expert salvage it. Then a message saying, "cannot be salvaged" appeared. Why is this so?
thanks in advanced

Floods force thousands to flee in Indonesia
More News from Associated Press
JAKARTA, Indonesia — Monsoon rains and rising rivers have forced thousands of people to flee their flooded homes in Indonesia's capital.
Jakarta's disaster management agency said on its website Wednesday that 10,825 people were in temporary shelters after fleeing flooding up to 3 meters (10 feet) high in several places. In western Jakarta, a 13-year-old boy was killed after being swept away by a flooded river.
Media reports said floods inundated rice fields and roads in central Java and Indonesia's part of Borneo.
Deaths from flooding and landslides are common during annual monsoons in Indonesia.
Last week, flooding cut off a toll road in the neighboring province of Banten for days, killing at least four people and causing a 12-kilometer (7 1/2-mile) traffic jam along a major highway for two days.

Habitat loss and the non-availability of feed have pushed the population of many a bird species to the brink of extinction. Now, one more threat has been added to the list — kite flying thread made in China. The thread is made of glass nylon yarn with an abrasive coast of crushed glass, and is razor sharp.
Mohammed Dilawar of Nature Forever, a Nashik-based conservation organisation, has started a campaign against the sale of the Chinese kite flying thread. Mr. Dilawar said several thousand birds died every year during the kite festival organised in Gujarat, Maharashtra and in a few other north Indian States. But, most of the time the reports were not recorded.

'Housewife' on hiatus can't breathe life into 'Dead Body' afterlife cliches
That narrow window TV stars have to pick a plum film project to shoot around their ongoing "day jobs" provides a ready excuse for "Over Her Dead Body," a wan, sad-eyed romantic comedy that has Eva Longoria Parker playing a ghost who tries to keep a psychic from unscrupulously taking up with her fiance.
The generally stiff "Body," which features Paul Rudd as Henry, the fiance, and Lake Bell as the sham psychic, conjures up just a handful of laughs, no more.
Longoria Parker is Kate, the micromanaging bride-to-be who is comically killed on her wedding day. She shows up in the afterlife with "unfinished business." But she's too busy complaining about her situation to get all the details on that business. Thus, when she's sent back, "haunting" her groom-to-be, she's not sure what she's supposed to do.
Hint: Prove your love by helping him move on.
She is with him when he meets the ditsy caterer-psychic Ashley (Bell) who wants to help. She can hear Kate, but both women are torn. Kate seems to want to hang on to Henry, and Ashley develops an instant conflict of interest. She digs the guy.
A war of wills ensues, with the ghost comically tormenting Ashley (shades of "Ghost") and the psychic torn between using unethical shortcuts to win the guy's heart or doing the right thing.
When writer-director Jeff Lowell runs out of things to recycle from other afterlife romances, he turns to the most generic romantic-comedy cliches. Ashley's gay catering assistant/best pal/confessor is played by Jason Biggs, who struggles to wring a laugh out of an exhausted romantic comedy "type." Rudd, at least, still has the comic timing to make his few zingers sing.
"So, do you bring all your psychics home?" Ashley purrs after a date.
"You shouldn't have to ask" is his perfectly timed comeback.
His raised eyebrow at folks who listen to "psychics" and listen to "Torri AAaaa-mos" music (they're one and the same, he says) is worth a cackle.
Stephen Root, as the drunken ice sculptor who causes all this grief, steals a couple of scenes.
And our "Desperate Housewife"? She didn't have much to work with and doesn't really commit to what little there is. "Over Her Dead Body" didn't give her enough scenes to be responsible for "carrying" the movie. A mere two costumes and two hairstyles and a few weekends of work was all it cost her.
Oh, and one "Desperate Housewives" hiatus.

Senior Physics and Mathematics major Michaela Conley recently presented her research entitled A Study of Optical Rotation and Linear Polarization to the Kentucky Association of Physics Teachers (KAPT) Physics and Astronomy spring meeting on March 4, 2006 and Lexington Community College.
Conley did the research in a directed study course with Dr. Amer Lahamer in order to fulfill the degree requirements for her physics major. With the suggestion from Dr. Lahamer Conley attempted to reproduce the findings in an article out of the Journal of Biomedical Optics. "The presentation at the KYPT was a result of the course," said Conley. Presenting at the KYPT helped Conley "gain recognition within Physics circles," she said.
Beyond all the scientific terms used to explain this research, Conley explained that "the main issue behind the experiment I conducted was the detection of glucose levels in diabetic patients. The question has been raised," she said "would it be possible to develop a noninvasive method of glucose detection? Because glucose is a chiral substance in theory it should be possible for us to pass a beam of light through the finger, for example, and be able to determine from the optical rotation and linear polarization effects what concentration of glucose is present. Although this idea may not be plausible in reality, it is worth investigating."
Conley began studying optical rotation and linear polarization in the fall of 2005. She has continued to expand her research on this topic as part of her senior seminar project.
Conley said that the most enjoyable part of doing this research has been "realizing that what I'm doing might actually have some real significance in the world. It wasn't just a class exercise that I was going to get graded on."
Look for Conley's research in the future. "If I can get good results with the part of this project I'm doing for senior seminar, the results might get published. I think that's pretty cool..."

A Study of Optical Rotation and Linear Polarization
Michaela Conley and A. S. Lahamer
Physics Department
Berea College
Berea, KY 40404
The capability to measure polarization properties of multiply scattered light yields several experimental observables such as optical rotation and the degree of (linear, circular) polarization that can be used to characterize turbid media such as noninvasive detection of chiral glucose molecules in turbid biological tissues. Our experiment was to quantify the surviving linear polarization fraction and the optical rotation imposed upon a linearly polarized light beam which was passed through a reference solution of polystyrene microspheres and (l(-), d(+)) arabinose (chiral), mixture (racemic), and glycerol (achiral) substances. A chopped unpolarized HeNe laser beam of light was passed through a linear polarizer situated at to the vertical. The ray then passed through a photoelastic modulator (PEM) with its modulation axis horizontal, a modulation frequency of 50 kHz, and a retardation of 3.469 rad. The light then passed through the sample solution. A pinhole aperture was placed at to the incident beam. This aperture was then followed by another linear polarizer also called an analyzer set at which varied from to in intervals. Another pinhole aperture was placed between the analyzer and the photomultiplier tube (PMT). The signal detected at the PMT was then sent through a pre-amplifier to the lock-in amplifier where it was compared to a reference signal from the chopper. A plot of the 2f/dc ratio (the lock-in 2f reading divided by the reference dc reading) versus the analyzer angle was made for each substance. The surviving linear polarization was extracted from the fits of the data for each of the substances. The optical rotation was found to be (-3.60 .87) for the chiral l-arabinose. The polystyrene and glycerol solutions produced an optical rotation of (1.97 .81) and (2.70 1.57) respectively. This technique has the potential to allow the extraction of the effect of the chiral constituent from depolarizing backgrounds. These preliminary values are in relatively good agreement with the values found in literature (Journal of Biomedical Optics July 2002).

23 December 2011 04:06 [Source: ICIS news]
SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Thailand's PTT Chemical plans to restart its 300,000 tonne/year low density polyethylene (LDPE) plant at Map Ta Phut after 25 December when it resumes production at its 515,000 tonne/year I-4 No 1 cracker, a source close to the company said on Friday.
The LDPE plant was shut in early December when the I-4 cracker was shut because of a technical problem, the source said.
PTT Chemical's 400,000 tonne/year linear LDPE (LLDPE) plant at the same site has been operating at 80% since early December because of a shortage of feedstock ethylene supply resulting from the shutdown of the I-4 cracker, he said.
The producer plans to ramp up production at its LLDPE plant after the I-4 cracker is restarted, he added.

Option to grow more costly
How the majority of the council convinced themselves that this is the best option is difficult to imagine. In fact, the majority has never fully explained why the parking lot option became a viable option again in December, after being tabled in September, other than saying that when they originally chose to build on the existing plaza, they were "acting on bad information." Bad information? That shouldn't have eliminated the plaza as an option, but given the county a chance to rework a plan based on good information. Bad information on one proposal didn't suddenly make the more expensive choice across the street a better option.
The Herald's Noah Haglund reports that the parking lot option costs about $30 million more than building on the plaza, but the county determined that it's a safer and more usable space. However, it also means losing an underground prisoner-transport tunnel to the jail. Which means guards will have to drive prisoners between the courthouse and the jail. What will be the cost of that?
Other known and unknown costs:
At last week's meeting when the council voted 4-1 on the parking lot site, it increased to $350,000 the amount it's prepared to pay an outside law firm to handle the condemnations. Since the targeted businesses have said they will fight, not negotiate, that number might go up ... a bit.
The County Executive's office also reported that the county is looking into buying slivers of two other properties on the block. The cost?
The county plans to demolish the old building once the new one is ready, but also may consider other uses. Since one of the main arguments against the current courthouse is that it's unsafe, if it's going to be considered for other uses, it will have to be upgraded. The cost?
The parking lot choice also means the county will have to rebuild Matthew Parsons Park, named in honor of a child homicide victim, on the corner of Wall Street and Rockefeller.
The county council has already approved a property tax hike that will cost an average homeowner about $20 more per year for the courthouse. So how does the majority on the council show citizens how much they respect their hard-earned tax dollars? By choosing the option that guarantees to be the most expensive one, starting with a lawsuit right off the bat.

Thanks for the link, I found the correct section and will take a read through. My EF 100mm f2.8 macro is one of the lenses I use a lot, not just for macros, it a fantastic lens. I also have a pretty decent tripod, it has been used with a Mamyia RZ67 so I think it would cope with a 1V. I realise there are a lot of good cheap Canon's out there but I don't want to get something that I have to replace again soon. I only got my 5 last June so it didn't last long, I know it had been well looked after and not used much but it still broke in what I think of as a short space of time. Reliability is a big factor for me here.
I'm more than happy to keep away from the "scourge of digital" Since my two analougue Canon's are broken I had to dig out my 40D last weekend to take photos with, what a soulless experience that was .

From the Publisher"This long-awaited volume demonstrates that Eckert is the sociolinguist. No other student of language and society comes close to Eckert in providing social explanations for linguistic behavior and no other study has probed so deeply the social motivation of sound change. Eckert's unique combination of ethnographic practice and sophisticated quantitative analyses will be the target to emulate for many decades to come." Bill Labov, University of Pennsylvania
"Penelope Eckert's work provides a fine ethnographic account of the social organization and social practices of a varied set of Detroit adolescents. At the same time, she builds in a much-needed critique of current sociolinguistic work on the relationship between language variation and social constructs such as class and gender. The work as a whole is an excellent and readable synthesis, representing the current state of the art in sociolinguistics." Lesley Milroy, University of Michigan
"Nobody combines the insights of ethnographic study and variation analysis more creatively than Eckert. She invariably connects systematic language variation with the complexities of social practice in a way that challenges our reified interpretations of sociolinguistic behavior." Walt Wolfram, North Carolina State University
"Eckert has provided us with an array of priceless information on the local social matrix in which change takes place. If we are not ready to answer every question that might be posed about linguistic change, the first step is to master the rich store of information and insight that she has given us, and to plan our future research with this in mind."

The Centre's sanctioning of the Rs. 1840 crore Kuttanad package, which is to include measures for strengthening the ecology security of Kuttanad wetland eco-system and expand sustainable livelihood opportunities for the people of the region,' will turn four years on Tuesday.
The experts who had been in watching the implementation of the project formally launched on September 5, 2010 said a project directorate should be formed for the timely and efficient implementation of the package. The project encompass such a vast canvas that a project director alone could not be able to run the project now being conducted by 12 various departments\agencies of the Government. Effective machinery should work for the successful implementation of the project.
Experts claim that the important aspect here is to ask the question of what the philosophy of the package is all about. It is doubtful that most of the team that is behind the implementation of the project had gone through the original report itself. Though the essence of the package calls for environmental or ecological restoration for Kuttanad wetland system and to expand the livelihood opportunities of the people there, what is now being undertaken is a `spending spree'.
Unfortunately now the infrastructure aspects have been given the focus including bund construction and canal construction. "But these are all means to an end. But here we forgot the end. A lot of controversies about the implementation have pulled down the morale of the people associated with it to such an extent that the people are not willing to work", one of the experts observed.
Another major drawback is the domination of administrators who handle the project instead of involving experts. These administrators are groping in the dark. The involvement of experts including technical experts is very much needed. Now there is no technical review committee which could analyse the technical aspects of each and every project, the experts say. Another lacunae pointed out in the system is that meetings held every day bog down the staff who are left with little time to work. Their time is consumed by meetings held almost on a daily basis. The right thing is to meet at specific periods only and that is the best management practice too, they point out.
A prominent activist of Kerala Sastra Sahitya Parishad (KSSP), M. Gopakumar, who had studied the package, said that what was now being implemented as part of the package does not make much sense. The package called for eco-restoration and what are now seen are construction activities. "Shortage of seeds is a major problem affecting paddy farmers in Kuttanad. Though the package talks about it, there is nothing done on the implementation side now," he observed.
The package also calls for water-balance, which is vital to the paddy cultivation in Kuttanad. However, the Governemnt is yet to frame policies based on a report of Chennai IIT submitted to it regarding Thottappaly spillway and Thaneermukkom barrage. "There are issues like widening the spillway to 300 metres and rehabilitation issues linked to it. But the Government has not applied its mind on it till now," he said.

USA 0 - Germany 1: Match highlights, key battle and what the result means
Published on Jun 27, 2014 2:59 AM
Any fears that the United States and Germany will take it easy (both countries needed a draw to progress) were quickly dispelled when it transpired that a real battle was brewing in Recife.
Playing as if their lives depended on it, the Group G fixture was finally settled by a piece of supreme marksmanship from forward Thomas Mueller. Even though the Americans lost, they still progress to the last 16 at the expense of Ghana and Portugal.
- On a rain-soaked pitch, the Germans dominated by having as much as 68 per cent possession.
- Joachim Loew's men peppered Tim Howard's goal with 13 shots, including six on target. The Americans could not muster a single shot to threaten Manuel Neuer at the opposite end.
- The game was decided in the 65th minute by Mueller, who curled the ball beyond Howard's fingertips, after the goalkeeper parried away Per Mertesacker's header. It was Mueller's fourth goal at this World Cup and his ninth strike in total at the finals.
Key battle
Jermaine Jones/Michael Bradley/Kyle Beckerman vs Bastian Schweinsteiger/Toni Kroos/Philipp Lahm
While the German midfield trio are schooled by Jupp Heynckes and Pep Guardiola, the three American amigos offer less frills. Think BMW and Mercedes-Benz versus tractors and steamrollers.
Shirt tugs, trailing legs, body checks, late tackles... you have to wonder who the real Weapons of Mass Destruction really are as Joachim Loew saw his midfield darlings get some shock and awe from Juergen Klinsmann's butchers.
Schweinsteiger, in particular, was singled out for some particularly rough treatment from Jones. But the scoreline and statistics don't lie. The Germans still came out the superior side: 751 passes completed compared to 357 and a passing accuracy of 91 per cent against the Americans' 83 per cent.
Man of the Match
Kroos has his delicate touches and Schweinsteiger has his flair. Lahm is not even a natural midfielder to begin with but in his quiet and efficient way, the German captain organises the team and make the players sing.
He averages an outstanding 95 per cent in passing accuracy at this World Cup and he was no different against USA. To make it even more impressive, he was never dispossessed.
And to demonstrate his focus, Lahm dashed all the way back inside his box in the fourth minute of stoppage time to slide in and block a ferocious shot from Alejandro Bedoya. That's professionalism and leadership for you.
What the result means
The Germans march on relentlessly to the last 16. Their two wins and a draw were delivered after a combination of devastating attacks and rock-solid possession-based tactics.
Klinsmann's warriors have also battled their way to the next round. While their blood and guts approach will go down a treat with the American fans, their lack of a cutting edge up front could prove costly later at this World Cup.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
Jan. 2, 1945. H. PERRY TUBING AND NEEDLE HOLDER Filed March 20, 1944 Patented Jan. 2, 1945 2,366,424 TUBING AND NEEDLE HOLDER Landis H. Perry, Glendale, Calif., assignor to Don Baxter, Inc., Glendale, Calif., a corporation of Nevada Application March 20, 1944, Serial No. 527,211
4 .Claims.
This invention relates to a combined tubing and needle holder, and relates more particularly to holders for tubing and hypodermic needles used in connection with containers for holding Another object of the present invention is to provide a holder for a tube and needle which is constructed so as to effectively hold or grip the needle only when moved into position to insure closing of the tubing.
In the use of the containers holding sterile fluids, such as intravenous solutions, and in the use of vacuum containers used in blood transfusions, and similar operations, it is necessary to establish connection between tubing and the inside of a vacuum flask, through a rubber stopper, by piercing the stoppers by a needle, such as a hypodermic needle. The tubing to be connected with the vacuum flask must be provided with a valve means for controlling the flow of fluid therethrough. If this valve means is accidently opened, or left open at the time the vacuum flask is pierced, the vacuum within the flask may be lost and the flask will then be useless for the intended purpose. By means of the present invention, I have provided a holder for a tubing and hypodermic needle which is so constructed and arranged that it holds the hypodermic needle rigid to the holder when, and only when, the valve means of the holder is set for closing the tube.
Another important object of the present invention is to provide a valve for rubber tubing which operates by compression of the tubing.
Other objects and features of the invention will be better and more fully understood from the following detailed description of a preferred form or example of the holder which embodies the invention. Such description is given in connection with the accompanying drawing, in
. which Figure l is an elevation showing the holder in position to close the tubing.
Figure 2 is an elevation of the holder in position to open the tubing for the flow of fluid.
Figure 3 is a section on the line 3--3 of Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a section on the line 4-4 of Figure 1.
The holder of the present invention may be embodied in various forms for use in connection with various different types of hypodermic needles, or similar needles. I have illustrated the invention, however, in a form adapted for use in connection with a rubber tubing 2 which is attached at its ends to a hypodermic needle 3. The hypodermic needle 3 has a cannula 4 attached to a hub 53. A portion of the end of the rubber tubing is stretched over the hub 5 and the hub 5 is provided with two knurled flanges 6, between which is provided an annular groove 1.
The holder of the present invention comprises a frame bar 8 which may be in the form of a bar curved at its end, as indicated at 9, and havingits end apertures at on side, as indicated at ll], for receiving and holding the rubber tubing 2. The opposite end of the frame bar 8 is bent inwardly, as indicated at l I, to provide a needlegripping extension to fit within the groove 1 of the hypodermic needle. The frame bar is also provided with a laterally extending member l2, which member is curved around to provide a clamp-screw-holding portion 13 parallel to the body of the frame bar 8. A clamp-screw I4 is threaded through the clamp-screw-holding portion i3 and is loosely attached to and controls the movement of a clamp bar [5.
The clamp bar l5 has one end adapted to operate as a closure for the rubber tubing 2 and the other end is shaped to engage and hold the hypodermic needle 3. As shown, the clamp bar I5 is provided with the inwardly curving portion l6 which, when pressed towards the body of the frame bar 8, is capable of squeezing the rubber tubing 2 sufficiently to shut off flow through said tubing. The lower end ll of the clamp bar engages the knurled portion 8 of the needle. The lower end I! of the clamp bar may be slightly curved where it engages the knurled portion of the needle, or may be straight, but this portion of the clamp bar should not be so shaped as to seat tightly within the groove 1 of the needle. v
The holder of the present invention in practice operates as follows: When the screw i4 is retracted so that flow through the tubing 2 is opened, the hypodermic needle 3 is held loosely between the end ll of the frame and the end I! of the clamp bar i5 so that any attempt to force the needle through a resistive body, such as a rubber plug by grasping the holder, is immediately frustrated by the needle turning inside of the holder and failing to hold itself rigid with the holder.
With the apparatus of the present invention, it is only when the set screw M has been adjusted to firmly clamp the end It against the rubber tubing to the position where flow through the tubing 2 is entirely cut ofi, that the holder rigidly holds the needle and tubing so as to permit the needle to be forced through a resistive body, such as a rubber plug.
The holder of the present invention has the advantage that the flow of fluid through the tubing is easily controlled by pressure upon the tubing itself and thereby eliminates the necessity of employing more complicated valve mechanisms which are more diliicult to clean and operate. I
While the particular form of the holder herein described is well adapted to carry out the objects of the present invention, various modifications and changes may be made, and this invention is of the scope set forth in the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A holder for a needle and tubing, which comprises a frame member having a needle-gripping extension, a clamping bar adjustablerelative to said frame and having one end positioned for holding a needle in cooperation with said needle-gripping extension, and having its opposite end positioned for movement relative to said frame to serve as a tubing-closing valve member.
2. A holder for a tubing and hypodermic needle, said holder comprising a frame member having a tubing-holding portion at one end and a needle-gripping extension at the other end, means for movably mounting a clamping bar on said frame member, said clamping bar having one end positioned for cooperation with said frame for tubing-closing operations, said clamping bar having its opposite end positioned for cooperation with said extension for gripping a needle.
, latter end of said clamping bar being shaped to 'form a friction contact only with said needle,
whereby said needle is rigidly held by said holder only when said clamping bar is moved to position to squeeze said tubing closed.
4. A holder for a, tubing having a hypodermic needle at its end, said holder including a frame having means for holding the tubing and having a, needle-contacting extensiommeans for adjustably mounting a clamping bar on said frame, said clamping bar having a portion arranged for cooperation with said frame in tube-squeezing operations, and having a further portion for simultaneous cooperation with said extension for needle-grasping, said latter portion of said clamping bar being shaped to frictionally engage said needle, whereby said needle is rigidly connected to said holder only in adjusted position of said clamping bar when said tubing is squeezed closed.

Pune: City's solid waste management system has to bear an extra 30 per cent load of electronic waste (E Waste) not being segregated, collected or processed by government institutions. While the e-waste rules were implemented in 2011, even after three years the problem of domestic e–waste disposal and recycling remains.
According to Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB), Pune officials there are three e–waste collection centers in the city and four e–waste recyclers. Approximately 1000 Metric Ton (MT) of e–waste was processed and recycled in these recycling units. As the MPCB did not carry any studies of e–waste since 2008, the officials could not give any accurate figures and estimated that the e–waste generation has increased from 3000 MT in 2008 to 7000 MT this year.
"It is the waste coming from the IT belts of Hadapsar, Kharadi and Magarpatta areas which we collect the most. This waste usually has computers, copper and lead wires, laptops and other electrical equipments used in offices" said Dhaval Jitkar, Director of Ecocredibles Enviro Solutions Pvt Ltd. While the MPCB has permitted Ecocredibles to recycle 2000 MT per year, the company has been able to recycle 150 MT waste this year.
The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), Solid Waste Department head Suresh Jagtap added, "For Municipal Solid Waste, the industrial, institutional and commercial e-waste is not a problem. Around 500 MT to 1000 MT e–waste generated in the city is of domestic nature, maximum 300 MT is being collected. Rest all is added to the municipal solid waste." The PMC is conducting awareness programs and campaigns for citizens to segregate their electrical waste.
One of the local waste collection center for e–waste is the SWACH organization who have been granted permission from the MPCB to collect 10 MT waste per month. "People do not segregate and our workers have to remove the batteries, mobile parts and other small electronic waste from the dump" said Maitreyi Shankar, co-ordinator of e–waste collection in SWACH. She added that segregation of waste needs extra attention as constant contact with heavy metals and chemicals from the electronic waste can pose a threat to health. A separate collection system should be organized for E waste.

nium-214, deliver to target cells in the respiratory epithelium the energy that is considered to cause radon-associated lung-cancer (NRC 1991).
Evidence on radon and is now available from about 20 epidemiologic studies of underground miners, including 11 studies that provided quantitative information on the exposure-response relationship between radon and lung-cancer risk (Lubin and others 1995). Those studies and several epidemiologic findings before them, continue to support the implementation of regulatory programs to reduce exposures of underground miners to radon and to provide compensation for occupational lung-cancer (Samet 1992).
Although the progeny of radon are now a well-recognized cause of lung-cancer, radon itself has again become a topic of controversy and public-health concern because it has been found to be a ubiquitous indoor air pollutant to which all persons are exposed (Cole 1993 and Proctor 1995 review the controversy). Radon was found to be present in indoor air as early as the 1950s, but the potential health implications received little attention until the late 1970s (Proctor 1995). In Scandinavia, housing surveys in the 1970s documented the presence of relatively high radon concentrations in homes built with materials containing medium-rich alum shale. Sparse data from the United States provided a similar indication of contamination of indoor air with radon. In 1984, a man triggered the radiation detector on entering the nuclear power plant where he worked. His home was found to have radon concentrations well beyond those permitted in underground mines. Other homes with high concentrations were identified later, and an enlarging database on indoor radon concentrations showed that the problem was widespread (Nero 1986).
The evidence on radon and lung-cancer is now extensive. Initially, research was driven by the need to characterize the risks faced by underground miners so that exposure limits that would keep risks to an acceptable level could be set. The work emphasized epidemiologic studies of the uranium and other underground miners exposed to radon, but animal studies were also conducted to address the modifying effects of such factors as the presence of ore dust and diesel exhaust, cigarette-smoking, and dose rate. Models of the respiratory tract were developed to characterize the relationship between exposure to radon progeny and dose of alpha energy delivered to target cells in the respiratory epithelium. In the last decade, research has reflected the need to improve the understanding of the risks posed to the general population by indoor radon. Epidemiologic studies have been conducted to assess the general population's risk of lung-cancer associated with indoor radon and complementary animal and laboratory studies have been carried out to address uncertainties in assessment of the risks associated with indoor radon. As a result, we have gained a rich body of evidence on radon and lung-cancer that addresses all facets of the problem within the framework of exposure, dose, and response (Figure 1-2). The new techniques of cellular and molecular biology also have brought new insights into how alpha particles injure the genetic material of cells and cause cancer (NRC 1994).

Remove the kick plate from the bottom of the dryer by sliding a putty knife along the top edge to release the plastic clamps, one on each side about 4" in from the edges. The kick plate folds out and down. You will see the heat shield on the right, held in by one hex head screw. Remove screw and heat shield. The element is positioned in an open-front housing and is fastened to the left side of the housing by two hex head screws, located on the "rail" of the element and right near the two wires. Remove the hex-head screws that hold the element in place and disconnected the two wires by pulling them out by hand or with needle nose pliers. The only difficulty here is the cramped working area...I recommend a stubby socket driver for these two screws. Most of this I had to do by feel because I could not see the screw heads. Once the screws are out and the wires have been disconnected, slide the old element straight out toward you. You may need to disconnect a small plastic hose located to the left front of the element, but this hose just pulls right off. Vacume the dust & lint build-up out of the whole area, wipe out the element housing and clean up the whole underside of the dryer prior to installing the new element. Installation is reverse of removal. It also might be a good opportunity to clean out your exhaust duct and the vent to the outside. (Never use the aluminum foil-accordian-type duct.) If the exterior dryer vent has any kind of screen over it, remove it and get rid of it. Screens collect lint, lint builds up and burns out elements.

Los Angeles, CA- "Relentless" Lamon Brewster, 33-4 (29 KO) has built his fierce reputation with his wrecking ball left hook, iron chin and unwavering will power. Brewster intends to acquaint Danny Batchelder, 25-5-1 (12 KO), with his trademark qualities on Saturday, August 30 in the 12-round main event for the vacant NABA heavyweight championship at the Cincinnati Gardens in Cincinnati, OH. The card is promoted by Lamon Brewster's Relentless Events in conjunction with Colin Bates' C'Believe and Andrew Williams' R&R Promotions.
The former WBO heavyweight champion aims to make a statement in his first fight since losing to current Wladimir Klitschko, vaulting him back into the title picture. "I finally feel like the real Lamon Brewster again and that's the Lamon Brewster I am ready to unleash on the world. My defense feels excellent. My offense, how I hold my hands, my footwork, everything is coming together wonderfully. I'm going to run these heavyweights out of town.."
Brewster has had his best training camp since his days as champion, working many rounds in sparring with James Toney and Javier Mora, among others. The card is billed as "The Return", appropriate since Brewster is returning to the training habits that brought him his best success. "I've never trained like a heavyweight, I've always trained like a middleweight. I've been able to match speed with light-heavyweights and super-middleweights. For awhile I fell into a pattern, what Muhammad Ali called being a dinosaur, I started fighting like a dinosaur. I'm back to being a complete fighter again."

Virtual Reality technology has fallen by the wayside with the increasing popularity of 3D TVs and augmented reality apps for smartphones. But despite that competition, VR, as it�??s commonly called, is alive and kicking. A company called Oculus LLC has been developing one of the first affordable, commercially available virtual reality headsets called the Oculus Rift that anyone with a computer and video games that support the technology can use.
A head-mounted display, the Oculus Rift aims to provide a truly immersive experience to users and is aimed primarily at the gaming market.
At the heart of the headset is a pair of small LCD displays positioned directly in front of the wearer�??s eyes. The combined displays provide stereoscopic 3D vision, which allows the system to simulate depth and perspective. A motion sensor on the headset allows the display to change view depending on where the user is looking.
No special connections are required to make the system work with a computer �?? just a simple USB cord and a DVI connector.
The Oculus Rift project was crowd-funded, meaning the company went to the public seeking small donations, which seems to be an increasing trend. They raised approximately $2.5 million after setting a goal of just $250,000.
The Oculus Rift is getting big support from video game developers. The �??BFG�?� release of the popular �??Doom 3�?� videogame will support the system, and many upcoming videogames like �??Doom 4�?� and �??Star Citizen�?� are being built from the ground up to be compatible. Nearly 20 current and upcoming titles have announced plans to include support for the Oculus VR technology, with many more considering integrating it after the product is on the market.
A developer kit for early supporters was scheduled to begin shipping in March for about $300, and an improved version is slated to go on sale later that will include better resolution, a wider field of view, and wireless capabilities, though the shipping was recently delayed due to overwhelming interest.
There�??s no word yet on what the consumer version will retail for.
If Oculus is ultimately successful on the market �?? and all indications seem to be pointing that way �?? we could see virtual reality become widespread reality as early as next year.

While the president toured the Grand Canyon with his family Sunday, members of his administration made rounds addressing the chasm between what they want in the proposed health care overhaul and what they can get passed.
Facing false charges of a death panel rationing life-saving care and killing off seniors, the administration says the end-of-life care provisions in the bill may be eliminated.
Responding to critics who say they're uneasy about end-of-life care being discussed within the context of cost, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius insisted "it isn't about cost-cutting."
"We wanted to make sure doctors were reimbursed for that very important consultation if family members chose to make it, and it's been turned into this scare tactic and probably will be off the table," Sebelius said Sunday on "This Week."
Such a sentiment comes even though the president made a personal pitch on the issue.
"I just lost my grandmother last year. I know what it's like to watch somebody you love who's aging deteriorate," Obama said Sunday at a town hall meeting in Colorado. "So the notion that, somehow, I ran for public office or members of Congress are in this so that they can go around pulling the plug on grandma, I mean, when you start making arguments like that, that's simply dishonest."

Student Teachers Back from the Land Down Under
OCT. 13, 2008--Nine student teachers from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls traveled to the world down-under in June with teacher education Professor Gayle Ward for an eight-week student teaching experience and study tour. While there the students explored the Australian land and culture while being immersed in four different school communities.
Student teachers included: (Photo, L to R): Stephanie Phillips of Clintonville, Cathy Polnaszek of Andover, Minn., Jessica Krautkramer of Marathon, Michelle Abts of La Crosse, Michelle Reams of Hudson, Bobbi Jo Danger of Braham, Minn., Rachel Wilber of Trempealeau, Ashlee Quilling of Menomonie, and Bethany Barnett of Kenosha.
All nine students are elementary education majors with early childhood minors and were placed in early childhood settings with inquiry based learning as a valued methodology. "It was amazing to see children direct their own learning," Danger said.
Since returning many of the student teachers are student teaching in the United States, and are sharing things they learned with children here.
Many of the students said the Australian study tour was a life changing experience. Abts, who took digeridoo lessons while there, has introduced the Australian instrument to her third grade class, and Quilling has also worked to bring parts of Australia to her students through a pen-pal program she set up and by learning geography of Australia.
While in Australia, the UWRF students also participated in an array of activities. The trip began with five days in Cairns, Queensland, which gave the group an opportunity to snorkel and dive on the Great Barrier Reef and to trek through the rain forest with a crocodile viewing boat trip down the Daintree River. Students also were able to see animals native to the country such as koalas and kangaroos.
Students also participated in an integrated study of Australia, which allowed them to experience an introduction to Aboriginal culture, as well as researched the early European settlement of the continent. This prompted research-oriented visits to the Fremantle prison, the West Australian art gallery, the Maritime and army museums, the Perth mint and the zoo.
The group also journeyed north by bus to see the dolphins at Monkey Mia and the gorges of Kalbarri and experienced an aerial view of Ayers Rock. Other adventures included "squidding," or fishing for squid at night using a jig off a pier and a night walk on the beach followed by stories around a fire with an inspirational Aboriginal guide named Capes.

Re: My Next and Hopefully Last Boat - Which One?
is some info on the Jeanneau version of the Oday 40. along with who recently took one around the world. Not to say this is better per say than the H37C.
As faster said above, the boat you choose needs to tug at your heart strings. Frankly, as I have tried to say about the H37C, it does not! It is a good boat for off shore work. It would not be my first choice.
Yes you can buy any of these boats for a song. I did that with my 85 Jeanneau that is about the size you have. I have proceeded to dump some 40-50K into it, redoing the interior, along with all of the sails etc. Have not done the standing rigging as of yet.....Most folks I know that buy older boats, it comes down to a how my $ vs cost did you spend? 3 or 4-1 is a pretty common figure. Spend 20 on the boat, you can figure 60-80K fixing it up to be like new if that is your goal! Some do it for less........
OR, as I should/could have done. bought a 3-5 yr old boat for about what I have into my boat. Then again, I would not have had those 3 yrs of weekend playing on the boat, when I could have been playing IN the boat sailing it, vs working on it! For what you could easily spend upgrading a H37C, you could buy one that needs very few $$ and take off next month, vs next year. This could also include an O'Day 39 or 40, the jeanneau Sun Fizz variants....or any other older boat you choose. Just make sure you like the look! along with it will do what you want it to do.
She drives me boat,
I drives me dinghy!

Next Shrek has 2010 release date
Filed under: That's Entertainment
Quick! Hold the phone! Drop what you're doing! There's going to be another Shrek movie...
While it's generally recognized that the most-recent Shrek offering, while certainly entertaining, wasn't quite the cinematic masterpiece that everyone was expecting, I can't help but be genuinely thrilled that the franchise is going to continue.
No news on what it will be about (though I've heard rumors that it could be the story of young Shrek), and the working title is only "The Next Shrek," which isn't very helpful.
I'm sure we'll have more information as it surfaces -- you know, at some point before 2010.

The regional science centre coming up opposite Auto Cluster in Chinchwad will be open for public soon. It will have life-size models of dinosaurs, displays on information technology, inflatable dome planetarium and galleries on science, engineering and automobiles.
Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) has set up the centre along with the National Council of Science Museum (NCSM). It is the second such centre in Maharashtra after Nagpur. Students can learn science through exhibitions and games at this centre.
The centre developed over 7.5 acre has a two-storied building covering 3,220 sq m — 1,948 sq m on the ground floor and 1,272 sq m on the first floor. The building will have a ramp and a special lift for the physically challenged. The project, funded by the Union ministry for culture, housing and poverty alleviation, is guided by Nehru Science Centre, Mumbai. The cost of the project is Rs9.75 crore, of which the Centre's assistance is Rs4.25 crore and the remaining will be contributed by the civic body.
PCMC joint city engineer and project co-coordinator Praveen Tupe said, "There will be 60 exhibits in the science park that will have three main galleries. The gallery showing exhibits on developments in automobile engineering — from invention of a wheel to the latest developments — will be on the ground floor."
The inflatable dome mini-planetarium with a seating capacity of 15 to 20 people will provide information about astronomy and screen films and documentaries.
A fun science gallery will have exhibits on energy, such as solar, mechanical, electrical, etc. Students will be able to understand the basic principles in physics, mathematics, geography, geology, chemistry, bio-sciences and electrical engineering. Another gallery displaying exhibits on entertainment, science and computers will enable them to learn the subjects through games.
The 650-sq m automobile gallery on the ground floor will showcase the timeline, muscle power, steam power, steam power in use, to and fro motion to circular, external combustion engine, internal combustion engine and automobiles in the past and present. The energy gallery will consist of energy fundamentals, forms of energy, energy transformation, innovations and sources of energy etc. PCMC plans to invite nearby industrial units to display their models at the centre.

Ben Bova: In the news ... global warming, stock market and Earth Day
Some items from the news as I fly to a science fiction convention in Minneapolis:
One swallow does not a summer make, nor does a harsh winter in the United States mean that global warming is over.
Despite the blizzards and record low temperatures in much of the U.S., planet Earth was actually unusually warm during the December through February period, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Even New England and the Pacific Northwest experienced a warmer than normal winter, NOAA reports.
Globally, this past winter season was the fifth-warmest on record. As the meteorologists say, climate is what you expect, weather is what you get. Earth's climate is warming, despite locally cold weather.
Incidentally, the Minneapolis region saw no snow at all during the month of March, for the first time on record. And ice on the famous lakes of Minnesota melted away earlier than this spring than any year within memory.
* * *
Although investors may still be jittery and the economy has yet to fully recover from last year's meltdown, the stock market is actually running higher than it was on the eve of the millennium, Dec. 31, 2000.
On that date the Dow Jones average was a little over 10,700. As of this writing, it's just topped 10,900. Folks were generally optimistic about the economy in December 2000, so why aren't they so happy about it today?
Maybe those looming budget deficits and continued high unemployment rates are keeping people wary about the economy. But it's instructive to look back a bit and see where we've been.
Gosh, I can remember the celebrations on Wall Street when the Dow hit 1,000!
* * *
This coming Thursday is Earth Day, and millions of people around the world will participate in events aimed at making everyone more aware that human actions can have a real effect on the global environment — for better or for worse.
There will be speeches, marches, sing-alongs and lots of other activities. But will it make any difference? After all, we've been observing Earth Day for 40 years now, and the global environment is far from being clean and green. In many ways, it's gotten worse: forests are still being chopped down, more and more plant and animal species are being driven into extinction, fisheries around the world are on the verge of collapse.
It seems to me that all the good intentions of the Earth Day participants are shattered against the rock of one unavoidable fact: the human population of this planet is still growing. Soon it will hit 7 billion, with no end in sight.
Global population growth is slowing, but not stopping. And the biggest growth is among the poorest people, of course.
Family planning is anathema in many religions, and therein lies the real problem. Religions are steeped in tradition; devout religious believers accept dogma and attitudes that were originally laid down thousands of years ago. Because the faithful believe their traditions are handed down from their god, they go on practicing ways of life that were once important for survival, but are now dangerous to the health of our world and the future of our human species.
How to change ingrained religious beliefs? That is the question that lies deep in the heart of our problems of population growth and environmental degradation. That is what the Earth Day celebrants should be addressing. All the needed changes in our attitudes and actions stem from antiquated dogma.

You can custom-order high resolution photographs of the surface of Mars.
Under a program called HiWish, ordinary citizens can ask for photos of the areas of the red planet they want to see. NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter uses its High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera to snap detailed pictures of Mars' surface. Since the HiWish program started in January, more than 1,000 suggestions have come in.
"What we hope is that people become more interested in science and appreciate this opportunity to explore another world," said Alfred McEwan, principle investigator for the camera system.
To learn more, contact Daniel Stolte of the University of Arizona at firstname.lastname@example.com. Arizona U.'s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory operates the HiRISE camera.

From the Stacks
"From the Stacks" offers a regular helping of Newberry sustenance for the hungry intellectual. Learn about one of our hidden treasures, meticulous maps, or enduring ephemera, highlighting the resonance between the Newberry's 125 years of collecting and the timely—and timeless—issues of today. These items, covering a wide range of subject matter and form, are presented here in all their scholarly pathos and quirky splendor.
The Infant Shakespeare
Case oversize YS 65 .11
In 1786 the engraver and publisher John Boydell (1720-1804) devised a plan for an ambitious edition of Shakespeare's plays with illustrations by the best artists in England. Financing the project entirely himself, he commissioned painters to create works inspired by Shakespeare, and planned a gallery to exhibit the paintings. The Shakespeare Gallery opened in 1789 in Pall Mall, and the first set of engravings based on the paintings was issued in 1791.
Consort to Use Choirbooks for May Concert
VAULT oversize Case MS 5148
One of the Newberry's great music treasures is a set of manuscript choirbooks that were created for the use of the nuns in the former convent of the Encarnación in Mexico City, which was founded in the Renaissance and dissolved in the mid-nineteenth century. The books were donated to the Newberry in 1899 by Charles Hutchinson, then-president of the Art Institute of Chicago, upon his return from a trip to Mexico. For more than seven decades, the church or monastery in which the books had been used remained unknown.
Think Spring
Midwest MS Farrell - Paturis, Box 4, Folder 71
The T206 series of baseball cards, known informally as the "White Border" set, was enclosed by the American Tobacco Company in cigarette and loose tobacco packs from 1909 to 1911. Each card features a color lithographic portrait of a major- or minor-league player surrounded by a white border. On the versos are advertisements for company brands, including Sweet Caporal, Piedmont, and Sovereign. The cards have long been popular with collectors due to their rarity and the quality of the lithographs.
A Civil War Valentine
VAULT Case MS 10030, Box 1, Folder 9
On January 30, 1863, George Deal, a Union Army soldier in Company K of the 20th Ohio Regiment, sent his wife, Sarah, a letter and a valentine (pictured here). Very likely illiterate, Deal dictated his letters to fellow soldiers, some of whom introduce themselves to Sarah in the letters.
"I will send you this valentine just because I thought it was nice," the letter reads. "I know you will keep it till (sic) I come home if I am so permitted. I would be glad to see you all, even the cat, but I must close as I have told you about all I can think of at this time."
A Priory Story
The Masterpiece Theater production "Downton Abbey," the fourth season of which premiers in January, has inspired many with a new fascination for England's great houses. This week's selection from the stacks, an auction catalog for August 11, 1834, gives insight into the story of one such great house: Lee Priory. The building is particularly remarkable because for 10 years in the early nineteenth century, it housed a private printing press.
Neuer Americanischer Calendar
VAULT Ayer AY851 .Z7 1751
This beautiful German calendar, with a binding that includes leaves tied with twine along the spine, is highlighted by a woodcut vignette of Christopher Columbus, looking out a window with his navigational instruments, on its cover. Calendars inside include black and red symbols for tracking the planets, the moon, the zodiac, and weather conditions, and auspicious times for planting, chopping timber, cutting hair, even trimming fingernails. It also includes saints' days, astrological information, and a calendar of market days for a variety of towns and villages.
The "Noble Experiment" Ends
McCutcheon Box 19, Folder 568
"An obvious flop, Prohibition nonetheless continued to hang on until the onset of the Depression and the election of Franklin Roosevelt," wrote Chicago Tribune journalist Rick Kogan in an essay for the book Chicago Days. "Its final undoing came at the hands of Utah, which became the 36th state to ratify repeal in the form of the 21st Amendment."
Passed on December 5, 1933, that amendment contains two short but important sentences:
Talking Turkey for 150 Years
Folio A5 .392 v. 8
In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln declared that the third Thursday of November would, for the first time, be a national "day of Thanksgiving and Praise" to honor the "sufferers in the lamentable civil strife" of the Civil War.
