Engineers and scientists are known to step up to the challenges posed by nature. After developing an understanding of how the current object or process works, the next step often includes figuring out how to manipulate the situation to improve said object or process. One such example is cloaking; controlling light and sound waves to render something invisible. Phys.org recently ran a story on progressive research on controlling magnetic fields via cloaking to harvest and transfer energy using a magnetic […]Read more ⇢

There are traditional acoustic guitars made of wood, and now there are also those made entirely out of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). Do these plastic guitars sound like their wooden forbearers? Guess what, you can use computer modeling to find out.Read more ⇢

If I asked you to envision a wind turbine, odds are you'd picture a wind farm in some remote location. With good reason; that's commonly where they are found. If you're a student or faculty of Case Western Reserve University, on the other hand, you might think of the wind turbine you have on campus. Does it make sense to set up wind turbines in urban settings? These two researchers suggest that it does.Read more ⇢

Nature is full of counter-intuitive phenomena; I'm fascinated by everyday examples like the one we talked about this summer, sinking bubbles in a pint of Guinness, but I have to say that engineering has its fair share of such examples too. The concept of heat exchange in coaxial pipes struck me as a student, as it showed me the relentless tinkering attitude typical of engineers wanting to optimize their design. In this kind of heat exchanger both streams, hot and […]Read more ⇢

Transistors are building blocks of electronic appliances, and can be found in radios, computers, and calculators, to name a few. When working with electrical systems you typically have to deal with heat transfer; electric heating is often an unwanted result of current conduction. Is a heat sink mounting necessary to keep the transistor cool, or can it manage without? Let's have a look at power transistors from a heat transfer perspective.Read more ⇢

Hydraulic fracturing (popularly referred to as "fracking") is a method to increase production of oil and gas from certain types of geological formations. It has been used for decades, but recently, as the practice has increased, fracking has become a controversial topic. I will avoid taking sides in this debate, but the fact that there is a conflict implies there needs to be a deeper understanding of the process and its effects.Read more ⇢

The Pratt truss is one of several different types of truss bridge designs out there. Said to be the oldest type of modern bridge, the truss is simple and lends itself well to analysis. This type of bridge is typically constructed for the use of pedestrians, cars, trucks, trains, and pipelines.Read more ⇢

Hybrid vehicles are no longer a new concept, but that does not mean research and development (R&D) has ceased. If anything, it is ramping up as demand for hybrid design optimization continues to grow. Ercan Dede from Toyota Research Institute of North America held a keynote talk at the COMSOL Conference Boston 2012 on how they are using multiphysics modeling for advanced vehicle systems R&D. If you weren't there, you can now watch his keynote in a video format instead.Read more ⇢

who will win?
I think that should be "Who are you voting for?", unless yo got a magic crystal ball
My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive.
I think I will just vote for myself at this point in time.
"Nobody knows what I do until I stop doing it."
Florida Web Design | Online Geek Hangout | Office Pranks and Humor
Can I vote for Ross Perot ???
Personally I am rooting for either (or maybe the pair) Mitt Romney or Fred Thompson. Either one is good by my book, and one as the mate sounds good to me as well
Although, unless its just me, the RNC didn't put forth for 2000, nor did the DNC in either 2000 or 2004 the sheer number of contenders that we have now. Much less viable and electable contenders as we have on each side this time around.

Pneumonia is an inflammatory illness of the lung. Frequently, it is described as lung parenchyma/alveolar inflammation ''and'' abnormal alveolar filling with fluid (consolidation and exudation).
The alveoli are microscopic air-filled sacs in the lungs responsible for absorbing oxygen. Pneumonia can result from a variety of causes, including infection with bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, and chemical or physical injury to the lungs. Its cause may also be officially described as ''idiopathic''—that is, unknown—when infectious causes have been excluded.
Scanning Electron Micrograph of Streptococcus pneumoniae
Typical symptoms associated with pneumonia include cough, chest pain, fever, and difficulty in breathing. Diagnostic tools include x-rays and examination of the sputum. Treatment depends on the cause of pneumonia; bacterial pneumonia is treated with antibiotics.
Pneumonia is a common illness which occurs in all age groups, and is a leading cause of death among the elderly and people who are chronically and terminally ill. Additionally, it is the leading cause of death in children under five years old worldwide. Vaccines to prevent certain types of pneumonia are available. The prognosis depends on the type of pneumonia, the appropriate treatment, any complications, and the person's underlying health.

I am, but I'm getting better. First, I have a confession. It's not my fault!!
In seventh grade, the school placed me in a remedial English class due to a scheduling conflict. Because I did so well, I was assigned to the advanced class in eighth grade. I reveled in that accomplishment for about three days. That's how long it took me to realize I was way behind everyone else in the class. Too embarrassed to admit I didn't know what the teacher was talking about, I slogged through as best I could.
I still struggle with certain aspects of grammar. Here are some steps I took that might help readers who, like me, hold up a wooden cross whenever the word grammar appears.
Buy a style book*
It doesn't matter which one, and you're not going to read it cover to cover. I use it as a reference. For a while, I questioned every aspect of grammar from where that comma should go to am I supposed to capitalize the names of the seasons. I still use it from time to time. However, I find the more I write, the better I get at spotting errors.
Read for grammar, not for content
Pull a few novels off the shelf and read them for grammar and word usage, especially when looking at dialog. From a grammar standpoint, ask such questions as: Where is the punctuation placed prior to he said? If the dialog ends with a question mark, is the he capitalized? Does the question mark go inside or outside the quotation marks? Where do the quotation marks go when the dialog runs across two or more paragraphs? Why is there a comma in one sentence but not another? When looking at usage, ask why that word? To answer this, replace the word with something else to see how the flow and context change.
I need to add a caveat here. When choosing books for these exercises, select ones that were published a few years ago. Too many recent books suffer from a lack of editing. This is especially true of self-published books. Unfortunately, these authors fail to realize they are branding themselves as amateurs when they put a mistake-laden work on the market. Readers notice!
Follow online sites
There are sites online like Grammar Girl that provide insight into grammar issues. On this site, you can ask questions and sign up for a free newsletter.
Write shorter sentences
This may seem like silly advice, but I've read many submissions with grammar issues that could have been solved by, as John Gardner suggests, getting to the period sooner. There are times when using longer sentences helps set the tone, but incorrectly punctuated ones can create an unintended response in the reader.
Grammar counts! Many editors say they will forgive a few mistakes, but don't usually say how many that is. Other editors simply pass on a work that doesn't show a certain level of professionalism (i.e., poor grammar). Getting it right is important, whether it's grammar, or plot, or overall storytelling ability. How the manuscript looks is just as important as what it has to say. Grammar errors and misspellings stick out. Don't let your manuscript be the one the editor sets aside because of poor craftsmanship. Make it one of your writing goals for 2013 to improve your grammar skills, even if you think you know it all. How about a goal to learn one new grammar "rule" a month? Even the busiest writer should be able to accomplish that.

We'll be trying a new Monday-Friday feature on BB this season to keep you
abreast of the latest developments around the National Hockey League.
Here's a look at what's making headlines today:
- Check out this hockey
commercial from Finland.
- Ex-Ranger Vinny Prospal is skating on
a line with Jeff Carter and Rick Nash in Columbus this preseason. Vinny should be a pretty good fit as a
playmaker on that line if he can keep up.
- New NHL disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan handed out his first
punishments yesterday in a pretty creative, transparent way. Shanahan suspended Pierre-Luc
Letourneau-Leblond for
the remainder of the preseason and one preseason game and gave Jody Shelley
10-game suspension (five preseason, five regular season). Shanahan revealed the punishments using this video and this
one, where he utilized some fancy technology to explain exactly how and why
each player was punished.
- Sharks backup goalie Antero Niittymaki will have back
surgery that will keep him out for
about the next 12 weeks. Starter Antti
Niemi has also missed time during training camp after having a cyst removed,
but he
should be good to go for opening night.
- TSN's Bob McKenzie released his preseason top-10 rankings for
the 2012 NHL Draft.
- 2011 second-overall pick Gabriel Landeskog, a popular Calder
Trophy pick, recorded
seven hits in his preseason debut for the Colorado Avalanche.
- The Penguins might need Evgeni Malkin to have a big year
with Sidney Crosby's status uncertain. Check out Malkin's
goal last night against the Red Wings.
- Here we go again: a task force has proposed
a $346.5 million renovation for Nassau Coliseum and the surrounding area.
- The Dallas Stars are inching closer to financial stability and
signs point to Tom Gaglardi being the next owner of the franchise.
- Bodog released its team-by-team
odds to win the 2012 Stanley Cup. Vancouver and Washington are the heavy favorites at 7/1 odds. The Rangers are 30/1.
- Perhaps the biggest story of the day regards an unfortunate
incident from last night's Flyers' game, where a
fan threw a banana at Wayne Simmonds.
Past editions of the Bulletin Board:
- 2011 First-Round Draft Picks Shine In Preseason Action >

In the past I've played and GMed, in no particular order:
- D&D (Tiny bit of 2E, quite a lot of 3E and 3.75 and some 4E). It is the classic after all.
- Mutants and Masterminds. Does the job. The GM is the important part here.
- GURPs. Never again... Not after 7 wolves took 2 sessions to kill.
- Deadlands. Fantastic world.
- Savage Worlds. I don't think it lived up to it's promise. The unskilled roll mechanic kills it for me.
- Exalted (1E and 2E, Solar, Lunar, Dragon-blooded and Fair Folk). A massive world is balanced on the head of a pin and your characters are the force for change on a huge scale.
- Old World of Darkness (Vampire, Mage and Werewolf) The world is stranger than anyone knew. All that strangeness makes for fascinating explorations.
- New World of Darkness (Vampire, Werewolf and Changeling) nWoD does a very good job of bringing in more darkness. It encourages engagement with a small sandbox that can feed into the personal horror themes of each game.
- D20 Modern. This was the game that proved that d20 had been played out to me.
- Call of Cthulu d20. Palatable mechanics. It doesn't quite fit the theme thanks to using classes and levels instead of skills.
- WFRP 3E. Cards. Everywhere. Don't let that put you off though, the dice mechanic helps you narrate more detail about how your actions go ahead, beyond simple success and failure.
- Spirit of the Century. Pulp action and adventure. If you can go from not knowing anything about the game to the Pyramids of Mars in an hour you have this game and a great GM.
- 6d6. Tried it, didn't like it. FATE does a much better job of achieving the same goal.
- FATE. I haven't been able to think of anything this system can't handle for me.
- Legend of the Five Rings. Detailed and fun world that keeps evolving. The mechanics are bound into the themes incredibly well.
- Fiasco. The horror... oh the horror. Being chased by syphilitic man-eating penguins through the antarctic ice. And that was before the intermission.
- Scion. The Gods are still here and they are very randy. You're the result, and your grandparents have woken up to take the world back. It also doesn't assume anybody is going to stay hidden (which is very refreshing in urban fantasy).

We've written about libraries tagging books to connect patrons to more information – and the Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library was already one step ahead of us. The library, in the southwestern corner of Indiana, serves about 179,000 people through its eight locations. Library Webmaster Josh Weiland and Community Relations & Development Officer Amy Mangold were kind enough to answer some of my questions via email.
Tag: Tell me a little bit about the library – are you fairly tech-savvy?
Mangold: In 2010, we logged over 1.8 million visits and nearly 580,000 computer sessions (PC and wireless). We offer public access computers and wired or wireless access at every location, including a Computer Tech Center at our Central Library. We have partnered with both OverDrive and Library Ideas to make free downloadable eBooks, audiobooks, and music available to our customers ... We also offer one-on-one support if a customer has technical issues in downloading electronic materials to devices such as eReaders, smartphones, iPads/iPods, or others.
Tag: So how did you hear about Tag? Or where did you first see one?
Mangold: I first heard about Tag via a colleague's business card. Once I downloaded the application, I could scan the Tag and the individual's contact information was sent straight into my address book. Great convenience!
Tag: It sounds like you're using Tags in the online library catalog to help people find the physical books – is this correct? Anywhere else you're using Tags?
Weiland: Yes. When a customer locates an item in the Classic Catalog, scanning its Tag will display the item's details on their mobile device. They can then take this info with them to locate the item on the shelf or to ask assistance from library staff. We've posted an informational page about this at www.evpl.org/tag. This is currently the only implementation of Tags at the EVPL.
Tag: Why did you decide to use Tag versus other barcode options?
Weiland: We chose Microsoft Tags because they're easier to scan than standard QR codes, the API easily integrates into our existing ASP.NET website, and the built-in analytics help us track usage.
Tag: What kind of results are you getting so far?
Weiland: We've only had this functionality available for three weeks, so it's still a bit early to tell. As of now, we're getting about 5 to 10 scans per day. In the past three weeks, we've generated Tags for nearly 20,000 unique items.
Tag: How have library patrons responded to Tag – have you gotten any feedback?
Weiland: Most of the feedback I've received has been from library staff. They like having easy access to an item's info when heading to the shelves, without having to write down the info or print out an entire page.
Tag: Any future plans to use Tag?
Weiland: In the future, we're planning on using them for event publicity. Customers will scan a Tag from a printed poster or brochure and see the event's complete info on their mobile device.
Pretty nifty. Do you want your library to incorporate Tags – or is it already? Are there other ways libraries could take advantage of Tags? Tell us in the comments below or on Facebook or Twitter.

As the season continues to progress at a rapid speed, the Carbon Dinos find themselves keeping up with the pace as the Region 8 baseball team continues their current winning streak.
Since the season began, the Dinos have been a difficult team to beat. Currently, the team stands at 5-0 for the season and 8-5 overall.
The fifth straight victory came last Thursday as the Dinos competed against Union in a non-region match up.
The Carbon team dominated the field as they captured the 17-5 win.
Despite the current winning streak, Dino coach, Lane Herrick is reluctant to brag about the teams recent success.
"The main thing is that we continue to improve with each game. Gradually, we are getting to the level which we want to be at. We realize that this is a tough region and we don't take any team lightly. We just focus on one game at a time," explained the Dino coach.
With each game, Herrick has noticed that the team comes together stronger each time.
Every athlete has stepped up and continues to work hard, thus the entire team benefits.
"Our offense is coming along each game. And our hitting skills are really progressing. As a coach, I can't be any happier," stated Herrick.
Against Union, every Dino player had a couple of hits. With this type of performance, the dugout has become lined with dominant athletes.
"It is nice to say that I didn't have a single athlete who deserves all the credit. I would much rather say that the win came because of an entire team effort than to say that a couple of players captured the win," the Dino coach continued.
Herrick did explain that Mike Smith pitched the entire game and did a good job for the successful Dino team.
The baseball team will continue to compete in region action this Tuesday as they compete against the Emery Spartans in Castle Dale.

TODAY (in the Examiner):
We're nearly done installing SPUR's first exhibition, Agents of Change: Civic Idealism and the Making of San Francisco. Here's a sneak peak of how it's shaping up—thanks to an amazing cadre of volunteers who have been working around the clock to get the show installed before it opens this Friday.

Only five members of the Board of Supervisors today voted to reject the SFMTA budget, two short of the supermajority of seven needed to reject it.
The supermajority requirement was put in the City Charter by Proposition A and Proposition E (both in part crafted by SPUR) to create a balance between the need to defend the SFMTA from political influence and give the city's elected leaders a chance to reject the budget if it seriously misrepresents their values.
Yesterday we staged a dress rehearsal for our big day next Thursday—when we'll unveil the Urban Center to over 1,000 people at our grand opening celebration. The scene caused quite a stir on this once-sleepy 600-block of Mission. Cars slowed; sidewalks filled; the Peet's patron paused.
The Alliance for Biking & Walking, a national coalition of advocacy organizations, is working the Congressional Bike Caucus. The Caucus represents a majority of members who support an increased federal role in promoting bicycling as a solution to our nation's transportation crisis, not to mention our health and environmental crises.

Here you go. Interestingly, it's hard to say what Steve's motive was in posting these quotes from Scripture. Is he saying that having "anger issues" is okay, since even Peter, Paul, Jesus and Yahweh have them? Your guess is as good as mine...

Seems like quite the unfair criticism. An expression of anger doesn't automatically mean the individual has anger 'issues'. We don't label parents who occasionally get angry with their child as having anger 'issues' nor do we do the same for someone that's just dropped a hammer on their toe. If the anger is justified, how is it an 'issue'?

guamy- but a parent who consigns his child to eternal torment for not believing, against common sense, that he rose from the dead would count, in my book, as having "anger issues".

zilch - the 'anger issue' references are taken from a number of verses, none of which have anything to do with eternal torment.

Thanks for the link and the perspective, but I don't really see these as implying "anger issues." Would you rather have God smile and wave at those who are exploiting others and oppressing one another?
Obviously, each outburst of "Anger" needs to be viewed as an individual event, but to make a generalized argument, I would say that Paul, Jesus and God do a pretty good job of explaining their own actions in the quotes Steve lists. In other words, this isn't unsubstantiated anger that we are talking about.

Jump to main content or Bold Kids site navigation
The OSV Bold supports a variety of monitoring and educational tasks. The ship carries high-tech instruments to collect data from the water column, sediments, and even marine life. The Bold also carries onboard equipment that can take underwater video, side-scan sonar, and sampling instruments such as corers, dredges, and trawls. Onboard laboratories allow scientists to process, analyze, and store samples while they are out at sea.
The sturdy A-frame on the back deck of the Bold, helps the scientists deploy the equipment for sampling and monitoring.
A bottom grab, does exactly what it sounds like! This piece of equipment catches muddy sediment, and it can collect down to about two feet into the bottom. The grab is lowered to the bottom by a cable and water is able to flow through it as it is lowered down. When it hits the bottom, it releases a catch that allows the two doors to close, capturing the mud. Scientists use this grabbing technique to measure the concentrations of pollutants in the mud or to look at the small marine invertebrates, such as worms (polychaetes), crustaceans (such as amphipods), or mollusks (such as small clams) that may live in the surface of the sediments. This type of sample is incredibly important. Scientists can tell if the study area is a healthy environment or polluted depending on the types of species of organisms they find in the mud grabs.
Next to the onboard dry lab, there is a computer room. In here, scientists can use remote control equipment to steer the side scan tow fish, tell the CTD how deep to go and watch underwater video of the area they are studying!
A CTD is the primary tool for understanding the physical properties of sea water that are essential for supporting marine life. C stands for "Conductivity," T stands for "Temperature," and D stands for "Depth". A CTD gives scientists an accurate and comprehensive charting of the distribution and change in water temperature, salinity, and density for the water column they are studying. All of these are important for understanding how healthy an area of water is for supporting marine life.
How does a CTD work?
The CTD is made up of a set of small high tech probes, attached to the large metal rosette water sampler. The rosette is lowered on a cable down to the depths that the scientists want to evaluate, sometimes all the way to the seafloor. While the CTD is still underwater it reports electronic messages through a cable back to the onboard computer lab. While the CTD is gathering data underwater, computers on the ship are constantly reading that data and creating charts and line graphs. This helps the scientists understand right away the changes in the water column as the CTD goes deeper and deeper.
A typical CTD drop, or hydro-cast as the scientists like to call it, can take 5 to 15 minutes depending on how deep the scientists want to go. For the work that EPA does, generally within depths of 300 feet, gathering a complete set of CTD data can take less than 20 minutes.
True or False?
Salinity and conductivity both refer to the amount of dissolved salt in a body of water.
TRUE! Electrical conductivity estimates the amount and concentration of total dissolved salts (TDS), or the total amount of dissolved ions in water. Scientists onboard the BOLD and other Ocean Survey Vessels use the conductivity readings to find out more about the salinity of that particular water sample. The computers onboard can mathematically calculate the conductivity readings to determine salinity.
Up in the dry lab, on board the ship, scientists can look at organisms under microscopes. These organisms can be collected in the mud, or water and by looking at the species, the scientists can tell if the environment is healthy or polluted, or even being taken over by invasive species that don't naturally belong there.
Believe it or not! Some oceanic organisms like pollution, and there presence in a mud sample can tell a scientist a lot about that underwater environment.
The otter trawl is a specialized net for catching fish on the bottom of the ocean in sandy, silty seabeds. Contrary to the name, it is not used for collecting otters! When scientists are trying to determine the health of ocean bottom environment, it is sometimes helpful to collect real fish for the study.
If the ocean bottom is too muddy, or has too many rocks or boulders, the otter trawl doesn't work very well. When it is slowly dragged on the bottom, (at about 2 knots, or 2 mph) the scientists do not want it to get snagged on a boulder that could tear it!
In 2007, this type of trawl helped scientists on the OSV Bold check on some close-to-shore habitats for winter flounder in Rhode Island Sound. The population of winter flounder has decreased dramatically off the coast of Rhode Island in the past 25 years. To try to better understand why this has happened, the scientists wanted to identify the most important nursery zones for flounder. The Bold helped scientists collect data from off shore adult flounder to compare with younger, juvenile flounder still living in the near-shore nursery habitats. By a trace chemical, "fingerprint technique", the scientists could tell which nursery zone the adult flounder had come from. Once EPA and the state of Rhode Island have a better idea where most of the flounder are coming from, everyone can work to better protect those important habitats.
A rocking chair dredge is like the trawl, as it is slowly pulled behind the boat. This type of dredge is used to collect or sample for shellfish such as clams, or scallops in the bottom sediments, it works well in sandy bottom environments. The dredge rocks up and down in the sediment collecting the shellfish, which are contained in its mesh bag.
While EPA scientists usually collect waters samples within 300 feet deep, this equipment has the ability to go down thousands of meters.
How many feet are in 1 meter?
There are just over 3 feet in each meter. 1 meter = 3.28 feet.

Side-scan sonar is a type of sonar system that is used to be able to understand what lies at the bottom of the sea floor. On the Bold, the side-scan sonar "tow fish" can create an image of the sea floor so that the scientists can understand the hills, valleys, reefs and debris that are in the study area. This tool is used for mapping the seabed for a wide variety of purposes, including creation of nautical charts and detection and identification of underwater objects and bathymetric features.
Fun Facts
Bathymetry is the study of underwater depth. Check out this map! Purple areas are the deepest, yellow shows areas of land above the surface of the water.
Side scan sonar can be used to conduct surveys for maritime archaeology; along with seafloor samples, the sonar can help scientists understand the different materials and textures of the seabed. The pictures that the sonar tow fish sends back to the ship oftentimes find debris items left from human activities. Check out our gallery of side scan images!
What else can side scan sonar help with?
On the Bold, the side-scan sonar is called the "tow fish" because it is pulled behind the ship underwater. Slowly, and carefully, the ship's crew guides the ship in a set path to gather an image of the ocean floor beneath.
To make the image, the sonar "tow fish" sends out a fan shaped series of pulses (sound frequencies) down toward the seafloor. The intensity of the acoustic reflections from the seafloor of this fan-shaped beam is recorded in a series of cross-track slices. When stitched together by a computer, these slices can form an image of the sea bottom within the swath (coverage width) of the beam.
One of the inventors of side-scan sonar was German scientist, Dr. Julius Hagemann, who worked for the US navy Mine Defense Laboratory in Florida after WW II. His work is documented in US Patent 4,197,591, which remained classified by the US Navy until it was issued in 1980.
In 1963 Dr. Harold Edgerton, Edward Curley, and John Yules used side-scan sonar to find the sunken Vineyard Lightship in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts.
A team led by Martin Klein developed the first successful towed, commercial, (non-military) side-scan sonar system from 1963 to 1966.
In 1967, Klein's sonar helped find King Henry VIII's flagship Mary Rose. That same year the side scan sonar also aided in the archaeologist George Bass, find a 2000 year old ship off the coast of Turkey.
In 1968 Klein founded Klein Associates, Inc, the company that designed the side scan sonar that is used on the Bold.
Why do YOU think this area is called the WET LAB? This room is right on the deck where scientists on the Bold deploy the sampling equipment. This way, a mud grab can be put directly into the wet lab to be studied. Sometimes the scientists hose down the sediment to see what organisms are in it and it can get a little messy!
The wet lab is equipped with a sieve station (sieving tables and trays), wash station with hot and cold, freshwater and salt water, an ice machine for sample preservation, refrigerator, and an electronic navigation chart that displays the ship's location and navigation information.

|If you've read enough Agatha Christie stories, you know to be on the lookout for arsenic, cyanide, and other toxins lurking in the bottom of your wine glass or stirred into your coffee. But before CSI or Law and Order, how did such chemical crimes come to light? In this segment, Ira talks with author Deborah Blum about her book 'The Poisoner's Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York.' The book follows the life and careers of Dr. Charles Norris, Manhattan's first trained chief medical examiner, and Alexander Gettler, the city's first toxicologist, as they work to develop the science of medical forensics in the early 1900s.

easyJet, Northern Ireland's largest airline, today (Monday 31 October) launches its first direct service between Belfast International Airport and Manchester, complementing its existing service between Belfast and Liverpool.
There will be two flights daily to Manchester with affordable fares from just £21.99, one way including taxes.
easyJet now offers more flights from Belfast to the North West of England than any other airline.
Ali Gayward, easyJet's UK commercial manager, said: "Manchester is an established business centre and, with weekday flights from 07:20, people will be able to complete a full day's work on arrival there.
"More people are also going to Manchester on short breaks and, of course, many football fans will be heading there for big matches, particularly at weekends.
"Together with our service linking Belfast with Liverpool, which operates up to seven times daily, we will be providing business people throughout the North West of England with the most cost-effective and flexible access to Belfast."
Uel Hoey, business development director at Belfast International Airport, said: "I am delighted that easyJet has chosen to fortify its already extensive network by filling the obvious gap in the market for a quality service on the Belfast – Manchester route. This is excellent news for the airport, the local employment market and the broader Northern Ireland economy. "

YIELD: Makes 4 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 1 1/4 hr
TOTAL TIME: 3 1/4 hr
- 1 (6- to 7-pound) Long Island (Pekin) duck, excess fat from body cavity discarded
- 1 leek, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 large sweet onions (2 pounds total) such as Vidalia
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 quart water
- 2 pounds parsnips
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon grapeseed or vegetable oil, divided
- 1 (1-inch) piece peeled ginger
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Cut off legs, wings, and breasts from duck and cut up carcass and wing tips for stock. Remove any bones from breasts, leaving skin on. Chill legs, wings, and breasts in a sealable bag.
Wash leek , then put in a 6- to 8-quarts pot with carcass, 1 onion (cut in half), carrot, water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil, skimming foam. Reduce heat and gently simmer, uncovered, skimming occasionally, 1 hour. Strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, discarding solids. Skim off and discard fat.
Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
Coarsely chop remaining onion. Peel parsnips and cut into 3-inch batons (1/4 inch thick). Pat legs and wings dry and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wide 6- to 7-quart heavy pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then brown legs and wings, turning over once, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Add onion to pot with parsnips, ginger, zest, juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened and pale golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Add 2 cups duck stock (save remainder for another use) and nestle legs and wings in vegetables. Bring to a boil. Cover pot and braise in oven until meat is tender, about 1 hour. Let stand, uncovered, at room temperature 1 hour while cooking breasts.
Season duck breasts with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper (total).
Heat remaining teaspoon oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Cook duck breasts, skin sides down, until well browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn and cook about 6 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
Mix together parsley and garlic. Slice breasts crosswise. Serve legs and wings over parsnips and serve sliced breast on the side. Sprinkle with parsley mixture.
Cooks' notes:
Stock can be made 1 day ahead and chilled (covered once cool). Fat will be easier to remove once cold and solidified.
Legs and wings can be braised 1 day ahead and chilled.

Turning on the tap is getting more expensive in Helper. The city council has adopted a new rate structure that will hike basic water rates by more than 60 percent. The usage fees will also increase by a like amount.
In presenting the case for the rate increase, Councilman Chris Pugliese and Mayor Dean Armstrong said the city must find a way to finance an extensive renovation of its aging water systems. Culinary, sewer and storm piping and equipment have deteriorated over the decades, creating problems with flooding, road damage and lots of extra labor repairing pipe breaks.
Armstrong said in earlier discussions that the days of getting full grants for these projects are gone. State and federal agencies won't part with public funds unless they see that the recipients are carrying their share of the burden.
As a result, the monthly operations and maintenance fee for households will jump from $12 to $19.50 - a 62.5 percent increase. The charges for gallons used will go to $2.50 per 1,000 gallons for the first 10,000 gallons from the previous $1.50 rate. That's a 66.6 percent increase.
Rates per 1,000 gallons go up as usage increases. For consumption between 10,000 and 25,000 gallons, the rate is $3.00. People who use more than 45,000 gallons a month would pay $4.00 for every 1,000 gallons over that threshold.
The council's action also includes for the first time a charge for so-called "dormant" connections. These are vacant homes or buildings that are still connected to the system but have so far been paying nothing. From now on, these connections will be charged a $19.50 per month standby fee.
The objective is to get absentee landlords to pay a share of the system maintenance or to sell the homes and shops so new occupants can take over. "One person told me that the vacant house he has is the cheapest storage unit he can find," Armstrong said at October's council meeting.
Earlier this year, the mayor had explained that the extra money in the water department coffers would be leveraged with grants. Grants often come as a multiple of what local governments contribute, so for every dollar Helper puts up, it stands a chance of receiving a like amount of matching funds or more.
The water increase follows a 65 percent property tax increase passed last summer. At a public hearing on that matter, citizens peppered the council with questions about how the extra money would be spent.
The answer to that question may be known shortly. The council has given provisional approval to a contract with Franson Civil Engineering to survey the town's water systems and collaborate on a plan to revamp the whole infrastructure.

Propeller man
In a secret research laboratory buried deep under the ice and snow of Antarctica, something has gone terribly wrong. An experiment codenamed LV-10 has escaped from its confinement and is loose in the base. The problem: LV-10 was designed as the ultimate bio-technological war machine...and it seems to have gone crazy.
Within minutes after its escape, it had utterly destroyed the base, killing all within. It then left to search for "the Other"-a previous experiment which it felt a strange kinship with. That search brought it thousands of miles until it came into the heart of the city. There, military copters managed to wound it sufficiently to force shutdown. Its only choice was to wait for the Other.

TONAWANDA, NY - A 56-year-old man is being treated for serious injuries after falling down a flight of metal stairs at Tonawanda Coke Thursday morning.
Paramedics, along with the Sheridan Park Fire Department, were called out to respond to the scene around 8:30 a.m. When they got there they found that the man had fallen from the third floor to the second. Rescue crews needed to bring the victim down using a rope because the stairs were too steep and narrow to walk him down.
Firefighters described the area as a shaft near a conveyor belt. The man, as yet unidentified, was conscious at the time and taken to ECMC for treatment.

Researchers have undertaken an in-depth look at genetic variation across different populations, mapping out 650,000 common, single-letter genetic variations in 938 individuals from 51 populations. They then use that information to trace the migration of the first modern humans--lending support to the theory that the first humans moved out of Africa across the globe.
The study, published this week in the journal Science, has applications on a smaller scale as well. The team of geneticists was able to unravel some of the genetic ancestries of eight different European groups and four groups in the Middle East. "This data set allows the most comprehensive characterization to date of human genetic variation," the researchers say. In this segment, Joe Palca talks with Richard Myers, one of the authors of the report, about the challenges of using data withi the human genome to map out human diversity.

BLM Monticello Field Office Manager Tom Heinlein issued a decision on Oct.13 that motorized use of the Arch Canyon road can continue.
The Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA) filed a petition with the BLM in 2006 to close the road. Heinlein also announced that the agency would begin developing a recreation management plan for Arch Canyon to help improve visitors' experience of the area.
The decision was made after months of study to determine if motorized use in Arch Canyon was causing serious adverse effects to the fisheries, riparian, and cultural resources.
The BLM reviewed the information submitted in the SUWA petition, as well as new information developed through additional studies.
The review found that:
* Arch Canyon supports a perennial stream that is habitat to three species of fish. The BLM and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources conducted genetic and sampling studies. The BLM also conducted water quality monitoring, invertebrate sampling and an assessment of the hydrologic system. The studies found that the habitat is supporting successful reproduction and development of all life stages of native fish, and the isolated disturbances to fish habitat as a result of motorized vehicle crossings are minimal compared to the natural alteration from frequent flash floods.
* Riparian (creekside) data show the stream system is functioning properly. The canyon's response to high floods illustrates the health of the system and shows it to be stable.
* The BLM also conducted new inventory of Arch Canyon's cultural resources, documented several sites, and reviewed existing data. The archaeologists found that human foot traffic was causing some damage to some sites, but that eliminating motorized access would not resolve these problems.
In announcing his finding, Heinlein noted that "the BLM recognizes that more intensive management of visitor use is needed in Arch Canyon, and is initiating a recreation management plan for the area."
He added that the plan will address how to improve visitors' experiences to Arch Canyon and could consider "a permitting system, establishing foot paths where they will not damage archaeological resources, monitoring, providing site etiquette information, inventory of resources, designating camping areas and other measures."

Individuals who would like to enroll in the summer 2013 PREP cohort must submit alternate certification application to the Gallaspy (Family) College of Education and Human Development COEHD by April 3 and show proof of registration for Praxis I (PPST) and Praxis II (Content Area Exam) if the exams have not already been passed.
Summer classes for the program will begin June 3.
To help defray the cost of summer tuition, scholarships are available through the Northwestern State University Foundation for those who qualify.
PREP admission requirements include a baccalaureate degree from a regionally-accredited university, a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale, passing scores on the PRAXIS Pre-Professional Skills Tests (PPST) - reading, writing, math, and passing scores on the PRAXIS II content specific examinations in the individual's teaching area/grade level. According to Ramona Wynder, instructor of education and Transition to Teaching facilitator, an earned master's degree, an ACT composite score of at least 22 or a SAT combined verbal and math score of at least 1030 will substitute for passing PPST scores.
The GRE (Graduate Record Exam) is no longer required for admission to PREP, Wynder added.

Maddox writes a short defense of this premise as an introduction to the book, arguing that children should be discouraged from drawing if they suck at it: "If a kid wants to impress me, he has to draw something awesome, just like an adult would. Kids don't get a free pass just for being kids." A problematic caveat arises when he actually pseudo-praises a drawing ("I can only infer that you want to eat your cat. Awesome.") but still gives the kid an F. C'mon, Maddox.
His commentary ranges from straight-up mean ("Look, Emily, I'm not going to sugarcoat this: your entire family is retarded") to just plain dumb ("I realized that this picture was upside down after I put it in the book and left it that way because it looks about the same right side up") to cringingly vulgar ("This artist deserves a beer and a blow job, simultaneously") to borderline misogynistic ("This is so boring it could make women miscarry").
There are 43
sections. Standouts include "Bowls to Throw Up In," "Unintentional
Hitler," "Nice Boner!" and "Sexism, Drugs, AIDS and Crib Death." Yup,
there's a little something for everyone. So if you like the idea of an
adult providing abusive commentary on children's innocent artwork, have
at it. If you have a killjoy relative who gets off on that sort of
thing, I Am Better Than Your Kids would be a great Christmas present.
GO: Maddox will speak at Powell's City of Books, 1005 W. Burnside St., 228-4651. 7:30 pm Monday, Dec. 5. Free.
