More recently, methods for base metals and other commodities have been developed, however, few published cased studies have documented the glacial dispersal from uranium (U) deposits using indicator minerals and till geochemistry. In response to the need to develop surficial exploration methods to help discover drift covered U deposits, this study was conducted to document and interpret the mineralogical and geochemical signature of the Kiggavik U deposit and its glacial dispersal. The study area is within the zone affected by the migration of the Keewatin Ice Divide of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. Surface till samples (n=71) were collected directly overlying, up-ice and down-ice from the deposit with respect to the dominant north-northwest, northwest, and west ice flow directions. Till samples containing the highest metal contents were located directly to the west of the deposit in locally derived, basement-dominated grey till. Till geochemistry exhibits a polymetallic dispersal signature down-ice of the Kiggavik Main Zone (KMZ) outcrop. Uranium, Bi, Mo, Au, Ag, Co, Cs, Pb and W range from elevated to anomalously high concentrations up to 1 km down-ice of the KMZ and thus can be utilized as pathfinder elements. These pathfinder elements are also present down-ice from other U deposits within the Kiggavik camp, demonstrating their broad applicability to U exploration in basement rocks near the Thelon Basin. Laboratory gamma-ray spectrometry and Pb isotopic analysis were conducted on the till samples and show that eU and Pb isotope ratios in the till matrix share a strong correlation with U content in till. Heavy mineral picking of the sand-sized till fraction did not return any U bearing minerals as they are not physically and chemically resistant to post glacial weathering. However, elevated gold grains counts were encountered and can be used as an indicator for U mineralization. Lead rich apatites grains (up to 8% Pb) were discovered in mineralized bedrock and these are of particular interest due to their rarity and potential to be a an indicator mineral for such deposits, provided that new techniques to quantitatively separate and analyze the finer fraction of the HMC be can be developed.

The reactivation of these faults in the subducting Indian crust during the collision of India and Asia in the Paleogene (ca. 45–40 Ma) and early Neogene (ca. 20–15 Ma) is investigated to elucidate their potential role in localizing deformation in the upper crust. Models consist from bottom to top of a rigid basement material, a ductile middle, a layered package representing the upper crust, and a near-surface brittle layer. Viscoelastic materials used as analogues for the mid- and lower crust demonstrate complex dynamic behaviour; effective viscosity alone is not sufficient to determine if a material will be an effective analogue. Two series of rheological experiments are conducted using an oscillating parallel-plate rheometer to measure the storage and loss moduli and effective viscosities of potential materials. Inherently cohesive synthetic sands are suggested as suitable analogues for the brittle upper crust, historically not reproduced in centrifuge models. In models simulating early stage collision (ca. 10 Myr after onset), deformation is dominated by left-lateral strike-slip deformation along the inherited basement fault. This manifests in the upper brittle layer as three major sets of faults striking northwest–southeast (the same orientation as the basement fault), northeast–southwest, and east–west. Extension is accommodated in the northeast–southwest striking faults. In models simulating later stage collision (ca. 35 Myr after onset), deformation is dominated by shortening in the upper crust and two sets of folds develop. Strike-slip offset along the basement fault manifests in the ductile middle layer as lateral flow and the development of necking zones. These necking zones are interpreted to be discreet zones of strain transfer to the semi-ductile and brittle upper layers, localizing normal faults above. Three fault sets develop in the same orientation as the early stage collision models. We propose that the normal faults stepping en échelon along the basement fault are analogous to south Tibet graben in the prototype. These models, though based on the Himalaya, can be used as examples for thick-skinned orogenic systems worldwide.

Geologic mapping accompanied by microstructural and geochronological analyses from the lower Himalayan metamorphic core in west-central Nepal record along-strike similarity in flow style, despite variability in the timing of both metamorphism and deformation. The Main Central thrust high-strain zone at the base of the Himalayan metamorphic core varies in thickness, lithotectonic stratigraphy, and field metamorphic gradient along the mapped 250 km strike length. Sampling from two along-strike transects targeted specific lithotectonic units near the base and top of the high-strain zone. In situ monazite U-Th/Pb geochronology and trace-element analysis of samples from the top of the high-strain zone record protracted Eocene-Oligocene prograde metamorphism followed by Miocene retrograde metamorphism. The metamorphic ages, as well as muscovite 40Ar/39Ar age, gradually decrease from northwest to southeast along strike, punctuated by an abrupt ca. 3-8 Myr age decrease in the east central Annapurna foothills. Geochronology results are not fully consistent with predictions from either channel flow or wedge extrusion models, and may exemplify the continuum between these end-member models. Quartz crystallographic preferred orientation fabrics from the base of the high-strain zone document similar flow style and plane-strain conditions at ca. 440°C along 70 km strike length in central Nepal. Muscovite 40Ar/39Ar ages, which are interpreted as the approximate ages of these deformation fabrics, decrease from ca. 7 to 4 Ma from northwest to southeast along strike at this structural level. Differences in the crustal architecture and timing of metamorphism and deformation indicate there is structural variation and diachronous evolution along strike of the lower metamorphic core in west-central Nepal. This variability spatially corresponds with the subsurface Faizabad ridge, a feature on the Indian plate that projects beneath the Himalaya in this region, and highlights the possible impact of subsurface ridges on the geometry of the basal Himalayan décollement and the tectonic evolution of the metamorphic core.

Abstract: Outer Ring and Halliday Lake deep (~670-800 m) unconformity-related U prospects are located in the eastern portion of the Athabasca Basin. Petrographic, lithogeochemical and short-wavelength-infrared (SWIR) spectroscopic studies were conducted to understand the nature of geochemical dispersion in the basin. Aqua regia partial digestion lithogeochemical results indicate that REEs and HFSEs vary with stratigraphy, are likely hosted in restite phases and thus are not useable pathfinder elements. Aqua regia and weak acid leach (WAL) results indicate that As, Ca, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo and Ni are viable pathfinder elements whose enrichments can be traced from the unconformity to the surface. These pathfinders are associated with faulting, fracturing and alteration and appear to be related to graphitic metapelitic and calc-silicate gneisses. Minimal radiogenic Pb is present in sub-economic U mineralization indicating that it has formed recently and that it may have been remobilized from high grade U mineralization. WAL U-Pb isotope results indicate that radiogenic Pb has been dispersed through the entire thickness of the Athabasca Group sediments throughout the basin history. Soil samples from which the <2 µm soil clay fraction was separated and tree cores were collected over the Halliday Lake prospect. X-ray diffraction indicates the clay fractions are host to plagioclase, which is derived beyond the basin edge. Elements such as K, Mg, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, and Ni appear to be related to this basement component. However, these elements are also enriched in association with anomalous bedrock lithogeochemistry and alteration implying a mixture of the basement and sandstone signatures. Similar elements are enriched in the tree cores in an area associated with thin overburden, anomalous alteration and lithogeochemistry suggesting that the trees roots may be directly tapping the underlying bedrock. Radiogenic 207Pb/206Pb ratios from the clay fraction are spatially associated with drill holes, which intercepted sub-economic U mineralization, while common 207Pb/206Pb ratios are associated with barren drill holes. The tree core 207Pb/206Pb ratios are generally less radiogenic however some are consistent with the clay fraction ratios. Geological, geophysical and surficial geochemical data indicate that the Halliday Lake prospect may be host to unconformity-related U mineralization.

When I was young, I learned the retreat, jump, scissor kick and smash the overhead away technique from some guy (Harold Soloman?) in a tan Jantzen tennis outfit.
Of course, then I was 6'6", 195 lbs, and could play 6 hours straight in July. sunscreen? sunglasses? Hats? Those were for sissys........
Why pick it out of the air rather than allow a bounce? only two real reasons. First, you will be hitting your overhead from a deeper position if you "bounce it". This is usually giving up an advantage especially the more topspin or "horizontally" the lob is hit. Second, bouncing it actually allows the opponent(s) an extra second or two to get ready to retrieve the overhead.
Why allow it to bounce? If it is a high lob, the opponents are going to have time to get in posiiton anyway, the extra 1 or 2 seconds prolly will make little or no difference. gravity has an accelleration of 32 feet per second per second. If the opponent has hit the ball 100 feet in the air, that ball is going to be dropping A LOT faster than your service toss, making it exponentially harder to time your overhead swing. A bounced ball is going to be dropping towards you A LOT more slowly and like a service toss, thereby making it MUCH easier to get your swing timing in place and able to concentrate on placement.
20 years later? My advice, If you are inside the service line, OK, take it out of the air, especially if it is not a high outdoor lob. Any thing deeper than that (unless it is a real honest topspin lob that is going to be a flat winner if you bounce it), let it bounce. CAVEAT - extra footwork is required, you have to run deeper back than you think you need to, but the good news is that then you step FORWARD into the bounced ball and can REALLY cream it with a high degree of probability you are going to hit a good forcing shot.
If you opponents can take the net in that period of time and volley away your best overhead for a winner, well, you say good shot and move on. If they can do that time and time again, they might just be better players and you need ot lob back.

Just like to sail mail me if you have a boat!!
Crew member awailable
Hi, Rob,
Wasn''t clear from your message whether you''d be interested in this:
My father''s sailing at end October from Funchal, Madeira, due to arrive Cape Town by Christmas 2000. He has two crew members and is looking urgently for a third (one dropped out). This is the second leg of a circumnavigation. The yacht is a Saltramsaga, LOA 36 feet, an excellent ocean-going outfit, responsibly-run. Other crew are male and experienced. Ages vary from 23 to 77 years!
You''d have to pay your fares to and from the boat but on-board costs are paid for.
If this is of interest please e-mail me and hopefully you can speak to my father, Ken, today/tomorrow.

Pickings slim on Day 2 of NHL free agency
Day 2 of NHL free agency will have a hard time living up to the first.
The biggest names and best players agreed to deals, or signed contracts, on Tuesday.
Paul Stastny, Jarome Iginla, Matt Niskanen and Ryan Miller were among the notable players snatched up soon after the market opened, signing deals with new teams.
Relatively notable players available Wednesday are: Radim Vrbata, Dany Heatley, Mike Ribeiro, David Legwand, Mikhail Grabovski, Ville Leino, Nikolai Kulemin, Steve Ott, Olli Jokinen and Martin Brodeur, the NHL's all-time winningest goalie.
"There are still some players out there," Detroit Red Wings general manager Ken Holland insisted Tuesday night.
Some franchises made bold moves even though they might have overpaid for the best players available.
Stastny cashed in, signing a $28 million, four-year contract with his hometown St. Louis Blues, leaving the Central Division rival Colorado Avalanche.
The Avs found someone to score in Stastny's place, picking up an aging player who has proven he's still got it. Iginla was given a three-year, $16 million deal on Tuesday, his 37th birthday. The wing had 30 goals to tie for the most in Boston last season. Colorado also acquired a veteran defenseman, Brad Stuart from San Jose.
The Vancouver Canucks gave goalie Miller a three-year deal worth $18 million after trading away Roberto Luongo and Cory Schneider.
NHL teams can spend as much as $69 million, an increase from last season's $64.3 million salary cap.
The Red Wings were willing to spend some of their money on a top defenseman, but each of them passed. They settled for re-signing Kyle Quincey to an $8.5 million, two-year deal.
"We pursued some right-shot defenseman and when they were off the market, we signed Quincey," Holland said. "The cap went up, and so did the cost of players."
The Washington Capitals also made a big splash — or at least spent the most money on a pair of players — by bolstering the blue line behind superstar Alex Ovechkin and giving defense-minded coach Barry Trotz the pieces he sought to build a winner. They signed Niskanen to a seven-year, $40.25 million contract soon after sealing a $27.5 million, five-year deal with defenseman Brooks Orpik, a pair of former Pittsburgh players.
The Penguins, meanwhile, signed defenseman Christian Ehrhoff, forward Blake Comeau and goalie Thomas Greiss to one-year deals.
The Minnesota Wild signed forward Thomas Vanek to a $19.5 million, three-year deal, two summers after investing a lot in free agents Zach Parise and Ryan Suter.
Dallas got a jump on the competition before free agency began, acquiring high-scoring forward Jason Spezza in a trade with Ottawa, taking advantage of having space under the salary cap.
"A lot of the teams that are up against the cap, they can't do anything," Stars general manager Jim Nill said. "We had lots of room. This worked out well for us. I look forward to Jason Spezza being a Dallas Star for many years."
The 31-year-old Spezza, set to be an unrestricted free agent next summer, had asked for a trade and previously turned down a deal that would have sent him to Nashville.

Union officials speaking for more than 55,000 county employees said they have reached a tentative agreement with Los Angeles County following a six-day strike.

The union was fighting for reduced caseloads and a retroactive 6-percent pay raise for its 3,600 social workers.
The timing of any potential wage hike is unclear, but the Service Employees International Union Local 721, which has been working without a contract with the county for two months, said relief is on the way for workers who have too many cases to handle.
Social workers were saying they were responsible for roughly twice as many cases as their counterparts in other major metropolitan cities.
SEIU Local 721 officials said the county agreed late last week to hire a net of 450 new social workers – a total of about 650 – by next October.
County administrators noted that many new-hires were already being processed, prior to the labor walkout.
Union officials also said the county backed away from a plan to add a graveyard shift without extra compensation.
"It wasn't easy, but we made history," said SEIU negotiator Chychy Ekeochah, a clinical social worker, in a statement. "Because we put it on the line, the county accepted our Child Safety Now plan. That's a victory for us and for the children we serve."
While details of the pay hike are yet to come, labor leaders hailed the agreement as a victory. It still must be ratified by the union membership.

Sales of fish slow in Batangas town in wake of fish kill
MANILA, Philippines—Residents in Talisay town in Batangas were apprehensive about eating fish following the massive fish kill in Taal Lake, causing a drop in the sales of marine products in the public market.
"Alam mo naman ang mga tao (you know the public), they think the fish sold (in the market) was affected by the fish kill," said Talisay mayor Zanaida Mendoza, despite government advisories that the tons of dead fish were already being disposed.
Mendoza said they noticed the slow sales, specially of "bangus" (milkfish) at the Talisay public market on Monday, and estimated a 50-percent drop in the sales due to the fish scare.
"But they should not be (scared). For one, they would know if the fish is already spoiled. The gills of the fresh ones should be red," Mendoza said.
She said by this time, those affected by the fish kill would be rotten already.
Aside from Talisay, the fish kill affected the towns of San Nicolas, Angono, Laurel, Balite and Tanauan City, with more dead fish plucked out of the water.
The fish kill, which was blamed on weather change, killed 752.6 metric tons of fish, mostly milkfish, in the Taal Lake on Friday.
Mendoza said they are still monitoring if the climate change-induced disaster had already ceased.
"This would affect much of the town's income. More than half of our population depends on fishing as a livelihood," Mendoza said.
Mendoza on Monday said that Barangay (village) Sampaloc, the hardest-hit area, had declared a state of calamity.
Senior Inspector Manuel Maligaya, Talisay police chief, said they are implementing a "strict directive" from the government to make sure that all trucks transporting fish products to the market are carrying only fresh fish harvests.
Mendoza said there were several other cages, mostly holding tilapia, that were spared from the fish kill.
"I don't think anyone could or would attempt selling the spoiled ones because (the rotten fish) have really smelled bad by now," he said.
He said government agencies are fast-tracking the disposal of the dead fish since prolonging them may cause health hazards to the people because of the foul odor.
About 300 metric tons of the dead fish were already buried in an upland area in Barangay Sampaloc and government is looking for some more landowners, who could lend their properties as space to bury the remaining tons of dead fish, he added.
Workers burying the dead fish were also required to wear a face mask, he said.
Maurita Rosana of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) in Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon) said the water in the Taal Lake remains unfavorable and may cause the fish kill to continue for a week.
She said as of Monday's monitoring, the oxygen level is still depleted, measuring 3.71 parts per million (ppm) from the normal level of 6 ppm (oxygen level on May 27 was at 3.42 ppm).
The water remains "hazy" with a transparency measured at 1.7 meters (from the normal level of 3.6 meters) and the temperature at 31.7 degrees Centigrade as compared with the supposed "favorable temperature" of 28-29 degrees Centigrade.
"What caused the fish kill was the combination of unfavorable weather conditions, an overturn, and the deteriorating water quality of the Taal Lake," she said.
Overturn is a process where the surface water is pushed down and the bottom water, carrying pollutants, surfaces resulting in the depletion of oxygen.
Given the conditions, BFAR advised fish cage owners to harvest remaining fish before they get affected by the phenomenon.

Home Builders & New Residential Construction Report For March
Home builders have outperformed the market over the last year but are fading on relatively weak new housing data. Lennar (LEN), the strongest homebuilder is up nearly 41 percent over the last year. Toll Brothers (TOL) is up 13 percent and PulteGroup (PNH) is up 8 percent.
Today at 8:30EST, the U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development jointly announced the following new residential construction statistics for March 2012.
Privately-owned housing units authorized by building permits in March were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 747,000. This is 4.5 percent above the revised February rate of 715,000 and is 30.1 percent above the March 2011 estimate of 574,000. Privately-owned housing starts in March were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 654,000. This is 5.8 percent below the revised February estimate of 694,000, but is 10.3 percent above the March 2011 rate of 593,000. Privately-owned housing completions in March were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 600,000. This is 4.2 percent above the revised February estimate of 576,000 and is 0.5 percent above the March 2011 rate of 597,000.
US Housing Starts data by YCharts
The subpar housing data matches the weak revenue for the builders. You can see below that home builders have had a tough time growing revenues and remain well below their pre-crisis levels. A more significant housing recovery is needed to get the home builders on more solid ground.

The Self-Righteous Editors of the NYTimes
4:56 PM, Sep 19, 2007 • By MICHAEL GOLDFARB
The wise and mighty deciders at the New York Times editorialize on the plight of pro-American Iraqis:
Washington has a profound moral obligation...to take a few thousand Iraqis back to the United States and abandon the rest to al Qaeda? How do the editors fail to make the obvious connection? Do they care nothing of what comes of all the other Iraqis they would have America abandon? Will it not mean more suffering and more shame for the United States if we leave them at the mercy of our enemies? The editors at the Times have lost all sense of decency if they believe their pleas on behalf of a few thousand insulate them from responsibility for pushing the abandonment of an entire country to the worst brutality imaginable.

BRAMPTON — DamiAnn Prehay began playing basketball at age 6 when his mom gave him a Fisher-Price basketball net. He loved that toy — so much so that his mom sometimes hid it in the closet because he made too much noise playing with it.
Now 16, this Grade 12 basketball phenom is still making noise — something he hopes to continue doing next year on the courts of American colleges.
Like many of his peers he's thinking about what schools he will apply to. But unlike most, he's trying to get on the radar of coaches and scouts so he can win a full athletic scholarship to a U.S. school.
This is a crucial step in a pivotal year for the teenager, one that could bring him one step closer to his dream of one day playing in the NBA. The path he must dribble down to reach that lofty dream is laid out before him. But his shot at a professional basketball career, he believes, hinges on a scholarship to an NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) Division I school, the highest level of post-secondary basketball.
"I try to work my hardest for my family," says DamiAnn, adding he wants to be a role model for his younger sister and two nephews, who live with him and his mom in Brampton. "I'm going for my dream."
That means he may not stay at Bramalea Secondary School long enough to graduate with his classmates. He may transfer to another school with a better basketball program that competes at a higher level or go to a prep school south of the border — all so he can get on that radar. Trying to strategize the best way to make his dream a reality is a lot to shoulder — even for his 6-foot-5 frame.
But DamiAnn, ranked by North Pole Hoops as the No. 23 player in the country for his age, is taking on the challenge.
He's deeply passionate about the sport — an enthusiasm that may have been planted when his mother, Ann Josephs, named him after then-Raptors superstar Damon Stoudamire. (She added her own spelling to the name, giving it a unique twist.)
But what if DamiAnn doesn't get a scholarship? His mom, a financial adviser, has set aside some money for tuition. His plan B is to go to a Canadian school, where he hopes to play ball and study finance or electrical engineering.
"Right now, I'm just believing that it's going to work out for me. I just have hope that if I try my hardest that, somehow, in return, God is going to work it out and I'll make it in."
At school, he's captain of the Bramalea Broncos and has been team MVP the past two years. Last year, he was the school's athlete of the year.
The teen credits Stephen Williams, assistant coach of the Bramalea Broncos, with pushing him to work harder and be better. It was Williams who suggested practice techniques such as dribbling with garden gloves, shooting a 10-pound basketball and wearing a 20-pound vest.
DamiAnn himself tries to set the bar high. He gets up at dawn so he can arrive at school by 7 a.m. to practice — done of his own volition, even during the off-season. Williams, who's one of the school's child and youth workers, is there bright and early to let DamiAnn into the gym and supervise drills.
Outside of school, DamiAnn plays club basketball for CIA Bounce, a Canadian team in the Amateur Athletic Union program that competes in the U.S. The team also plays in the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League, considered a launching pad for the NBA.
Anthony Bennett, who recently made history as the first Canadian chosen as the No. 1 overall NBA draft pick, also played for CIA Bounce. That, says DamiAnn, is "very inspiring."
DamiAnn is now working to improve his dribbling and shooting, and boost his grades from his current average to a B+. That, he hopes, will give him a shot at a scholarship.
Although DamiAnn worries about getting onto "the radar," he's already there, says Tariq Sbiet, Canadian national scout for North Pole Hoops (NPH), a national basketball media outlet that helps players get scouted.
"His name is out there," says Sbiet, who has tracked the teen since spotting him at the NPH Ontario Showcase a year and a half ago. Since then, "he's come a long way."
"I do believe a change of scenery would be good for him, but it doesn't necessarily have to be to the States. It may be to a stronger program that has a resumé with success."
There's no question DamiAnn is "physically gifted, with his size, strength and athleticism." And, Sbiet believes, the young athlete has a shot at a scholarship, noting that in previous years, players ranked in the Top 30 have proven themselves to be Division I-calibre material.
"DamiAnn has got to be patient and continue to work and progress, both as a student and player."

Finding a quality mid-tower for under $100 doesn't happen to often, but NZXT looks to hit the mark with their Tempest. It offers plenty of space (and even support for eATX), four large pre-mounted fans, an intuitive internal design and sharp looks, making it a wise choice for any new build.
The Tempest proved quite painless for installation, thanks in part to all the room it avails and also the helpful cable management system.
NZXT has moved the motherboard up to the top of the case about as far as possible. This allows better positioning of components and far more effective use of space. They have also mounted the motherboard tray deeper into the chassis to allow more room for the tallest heat sink. If your motherboard can hold it, there is no heat sink that will not fit in this case.
Another feature very much worth noting is the chassis' length. Another all too common problem with cases is that when using a longer high end video card, you can run into interference issues with the hard drives. Here is another problem that has been taken into consideration and solved by NZXT with this case.
My main gripe is the power supply mounting. At first, I noticed the PSU mount was reversible, which I was quite pleased with because I dislike the fan facing up (due to the ability to drop screws in during installation). However, I could not mount my particular power supply any other way than fan facing up as it just didn't line up properly. The support under the PSU should have been made removable and that can easily be rectified by some slight user modifications.
The other flaw with all cases with bottom mounted power supplies is the lack of wire length. This is more of the power supply companies fault considering how many new cases are coming this way but I still feel it needs to be mentioned. I had to use a 12″ 8-pin EPS extension to avoid running it on top of the video card and motherboard. It is time for the power supply manufacturers to step up and either include these extensions or to lengthen the wiring.
NZXT also deserves a nod for including a full complement of fans. I have seen too many expensive cases with multiple fan ports left bare. Including them all on a case with this price-point is a very nice and appreciated touch. Add to this the ability to stuff the new eATX spec motherboards in here and you have a great deal considering the estimated $100 price tag this case is set to debut at.
To me, the Antec 900 is the Tempest's direct competition. I personally have been using the 900 in all my builds because it offers the most airflow for the dollar. It is a good case, but it has quite a few flaws. The original version had poor wire management features and it is somewhat crowded inside. Despite those flaws, it was the airflow leader and was the best budget case out there. To me that has changed.
Side by side, these cases look almost identical. The Tempest is about 4 inches longer, but it is basically the same height and width. That is where the similarities end. The Tempest maximizes the use of interior space and it definitely pays off. Even my full ATX spec system with the monstrous 8800GTS looked small installed. I have no problem going on record stating you will not have clearance issues with any current graphics card and your hard drives.
All those fans also make for very effective cooling. Great airflow will enhance the ability of even the weakest heat sink. I specifically chose the budget Freezer 7 for this review just to prove how airflow is a main factor in keeping things cool. The freezer 7 is possibly the best budget cooler and our test furnace QX6850 can push even the best coolers to the brink.
Not an amazingly large difference, but the NZXT won this contest. This is mostly due to the extra room and the larger top opening allowing that much more airflow inside the chassis. The "Airflow King" crown has passed on from the 900 in my book.
I am awarding the Tempest an 8 out of 10. It is a great case and I can indeed say it does have far above average airflow. It scores high in the looks department and it is very roomy for its size. Fit and finish is excellent as well. The ability to not only hold 8 hard drives but to do it without compromising on space is a very good feature. Even with the biggest graphics cards, you will still maintain the ability to run all 8 as well. Wire management capabilities are also better than average. All in all, a great case with all the flexibility you will need for your next build.

A few things have changed around the Hudson Guild Theatre since Mark Ruffalo was punching a regular time card.
``The coffee bar has gotten nicer,'' says the 32-year-old actor/director. ``There's more of a feeling of something going on here. They've got (the musical) 'bare' happening here, and that's bringing in a cool young theater-going crowd.
``When we started here, it was just a great space and relatively inexpensive. We basically took over the theater. We got about $30,000 in debt to them and then they kicked us out. Who knows if we would still have been here if we had made any money.''
Ruffalo returns to the venue with many of the same people he worked with back when the Hudson was first the Igloo, then the World Theater. He's back with longtime friend Timothy McNeil, whose new play, ``Margaret,'' Ruffalo is directing in the Hudson's Backstage Theatre.
Of course, more than the coffee bar has changed. Ruffalo is no longer the dependable but semi-anonymous stage actor toiling in the trenches of L.A.'s countless Equity-waiver theaters.
He's still dependable - still, in his own words, a stage actor first and foremost. But at the moment, he also happens to be an in-demand movie star. While rehearsing ``Margaret,'' Ruffalo has spent his days shooting ``Windtalkers,'' John Woo's World War II drama about a group of United States Marines assigned to protect the lives of two Navajo code talkers. The film stars Nicolas Cage and Christian Slater.
Next up, Ruffalo starts the romantic comedy ``A View From the Top'' for Bruno Barreto, opposite Gwyneth Paltrow. Then it's on to Nashville, where he'll film ``The Castle'' with Robert Redford and James Gandolfini for director Rod Lurie. Ruffalo will play a West Point cadet, busted for using drugs, who has to grow into his leadership qualities.
These days, a sojourn in L.A. also means Ruffalo - who lives in New York - can save a bundle on airline tickets for the duration of awards season. ``You Can Count on Me,'' the critically praised film he made with another old friend, playwright Kenneth Lonergan, keeps getting plaudits. It has already earned Ruffalo the Best Actor prize at the Montreal Film Festival and the New Generation award from the L.A. Film Critics Association.
Co-star Laura Linney is a near shoo-in for an Oscar nomination for her work as a small-town single mother. Ruffalo, who played Linney's none- too-dependable brother, Terry Prescott, got a heaping of critical praise of his own, not to mention a flock of new job offers.
Stephen Holden in the New York Times wrote, ``Ruffalo's star-making performance deserves to be added to the list of charismatic, grown-up lost boys that includes the Marlon Brando of 'A Streetcar Named Desire' and the Jack Nicholson of 'Easy Rider.' ''
Nevertheless, Ruffalo figures an Oscar nomination for his own work would be a serious long shot, and laughs off the journalists who are comparing him to a young Marlon Brando.
``What do you do with that?'' he says. ``Thank you, but hopefully I've got my own stuff going on too.''
Even so, with his business and domestic calendar fast filling up, (his wife, actress Sunrise Coigney, is expecting the couple's first child in June), who has time for a small play at an Equity-waiver house?
Actually Ruffalo does, thank you very much.
``It's hard to split focus, but I like being busy,'' says Ruffalo, sporting a way-past-5-o'clock shadow and dressed Hollywood Boulevard casual. ``It keeps me from being crazy and getting depressed and being too much in my own head.
``This is an easy place for me to come to at the end of the day. With all the craziness of Hollywood, this is really where it all started for me and where it will end for me.''
``This'' is a small stage in a complex of performance spaces on a rather isolated stretch of Santa Monica Boulevard in Hollywood. It's a freezing Thursday night, about a week before the opening night of ``Margaret'' (the production runs through Feb. 25).
Ruffalo has had a long day, but by now the routine is familiar. He spent the day shooting ``Windtalkers'' in Valencia. In the evening, it's grab a quick bite, then on to the Hudson for rehearsal from 7:30 p.m. until midnight. The process starts over the next day at 6 a.m.
``What he did with this play is kind of superhuman in a weird way,'' says McNeil, an actor in ``Margaret'' as well as its author. ``I don't really understand where he found the fortitude to do it.''
The two men have an extensive history together both at the Hudson and as classmates at the Stella Adler Conservatory. They've acted together, both in classics and in contemporary works. ``Margaret'' is the second time Ruffalo has directed McNeil.
``We did a few things in front of Stella Adler, and that can cement a friendship pretty quickly,'' says McNeil. ``I like how we have a sort of shorthand as far as how my plays work. He has a great eye for shaping plays.''
Set in 1969, ``Margaret'' is about how the suicide of a young girl affects a suburban community in Illinois. Ruffalo, who, like McNeil, has known someone who committed suicide, was attracted to the way the play deals with the splintering of the American family.
``This is sort of the beginning of the splinter,'' says Ruffalo. ``A lot of ideas about ways of dealing with tragedy of the '50s are starting to not really work for people.''
``I had a close friend of mine commit suicide, so for me this was interesting to tackle,'' he added. ``It becomes a milestone. If you're a victim of it, you start to measure your life by it.''
``Margaret'' wasn't the opportunity for Ruffalo to take the stage himself, although he plans to return to the New York stage either this summer or fall. He hopes to do some Eugene O'Neill or possibly a new play, and he expects to work with Lonergan again, after winning the Lucille Lortel award for his work in Lonergan's ofroadway play ``This Is Our Youth.''
Strangely enough, he says it was that play, and not his role in any films, that brought about the sudden discovery of Mark Ruffalo.
``It's really bittersweet in a weird way,'' he says. ``I was here doing all these plays. Then I did a play in New York, and I came back and everyone was saying, 'Where did you come from?'
``I'm like, 'You idiots! I was under your nose all the time.' ''

Building a new rudder
I own a 1973 24'' Seafarer and need to replace the rudder. The hull shape allows for an outboard, tiller-steered rudder that raises and lowers with a daggerboard-type of design. I want to replace the rudder I currently have with a kick-up style so I can raise and lower the blade depending on water depth, etc. I would be interested in finding plans for such rudders from other manufacturers. (MacGregor, Pearson, Hunter, etc.) Also, a used rudder in good condition will work well. Does anybody have any ideas or sources for me to reference?
Thank you,
Brian Gregson

Under California law, development projects must go through exhaustive environmental review and public hearings before being approved. In most cases that process takes three to five years to complete.
Because Prop. A dictates that development projects in much of the unincorporated county must go to a vote of the entire county, a nuance of state law will permit developers to go straight to the ballot without any environmental review and no public hearings. Developers will not subject themselves to a lengthy and expensive process when they can just orchestrate a slick ad campaign and try to pull a fast one on voters.
Prop. A zoning will protect rural lifestyle
Zoning, or designating areas of land for specific purposes, is a planning tool that communities use to avoid land-use chaos. Until new parcels are legally established and approved for development, future development potential is only speculative and the community has the right to rezone the land.
Backcountry that Proposition A, the Rural Lands Initiative, would protect with 40- to 160-acre limits is currently zoned mostly residential. Small farmers are often pressured to sell their land to developers.
When agricultural lands are converted to suburbs, traffic, air pollution, noise and water pollution are increased. This impacts neighboring farms and, to a degree, the entire county. Our tax base is drained for services to distant areas, making it difficult to fund congestion solutions in urban areas, where most people live.
Under Prop. A, density changes may still be made by countywide vote. This is fair because all people are affected by the disadvantages or advantages of proposed changes.
The League of Women Voters of San Diego County and other respected organizations and individuals strongly support the Rural Lands Initiative and recommend that you vote yes for Prop. A on the March 2 ballot.

Wal-Mart is good for San Marcos
The Wal-Mart proposed for the Rancho Santa Fe/Melrose intersection is good for San Marcos. This Wal-Mart will lure many shoppers from Encinitas and Carlsbad, helping to offset the sales tax revenues going to these cities from San Marcos shoppers buying cars in these cities.
This Wal-Mart will offer great convenience to the thousands of cars that drive Rancho Santa Fe each day. Many shoppers will have a much shorter drive on Rancho Santa Fe once Wal-Mart opens up. The size of this Wal-Mart will fit right in next to the industrial buildings of La Costa Meadows. Commercial property is often utilized to buffer residential property from industrial property.
This Wal-Mart will not lower property values in the area. If property values were truly expected to go down, then the developer of University Commons would reject this store so that he could make more money. If Albertson's was truly concerned about the competition from Wal-Mart, why are they building a brand-new Albertson's next to the third Wal-Mart in Oceanside?
