Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bobby Rainey reacts after scoring a touchdown Sunday during the first half against the Atlanta Falcons at Raymond James Stadium.
- Filed Under
Former Western Kentucky running back Bobby Rainey is the fourth Tampa Bay Buccaneers player in the last decade to win NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors, the league announced Wednesday.
Rainey scored three touchdowns Sunday while tallying 163 yards rushing for the Bucs, who notched their second consecutive win following an 0-8 start to the season by dispatching the Atlanta Falcons. In Tampa Bay's other victory, Rainey scored a 1-yard go-ahead touchdown to help the Bucs beat the Miami Dolphins.

Set of Dreiding stereomodels, c 1958-1977.
Image number: 10268857
This is a normal set of Dreiding stereomodels, molecular modelling kits devised by the Swiss chemist Andre Dreiding (1919- ) in 1958 for constructing models of organic molecules. The models are based on the ball and spoke concept, with tubes representing bonds connected to points representing atomic nuclei. Dreiding models are particularly useful for demonstrating stereochemistry, the way in which atoms are arranged spatially within a molecule. The normal set pictured contains 182 separate parts. Other sets are available to construct models of specific groups of organic compounds.

built in wardrobe - starting from scratch
So this is whats happened so far... We got the wordrobe people in to give us a measure and quote and for 2 built in wardrobes the cost is $5k ish which I reckon is pretty steep, so I'm going to give it a go myself.
I've spent a few hours searching this forum and the web for some directions on how to go about it but haven't had a lot of luck so far.
At this stage I'm planning on sliding doors. The room is currently carpeted with old carpet which will probably be ripped up in the next couple of years so i'm planning on putting the tracks on the timber rather than on top of the carpet.
So far the people who are more skilled in these things tell me its doable as a DIY but attention to detail is mportant otherwise they can turn out a bit ordinary.
Its a simple 3mth wide wardrobe I want wheer the back and one end will be existing rendered dbl brick walls.
My first step is going to be to go to a wardrobe place and buy some door tracks and come home cut away the carpet and get into it.
Am I setting myself up for a fall? Any tips/comments etc are appreciated.

I made a built in wardrobe a few years ago before I got serious about woodworking and had only very primitive tools (my chisels and screwdrivers were equally sharp, and interchangeable). It turned out ok so is doable. The company who made the sliding mirror doors came and fitted the tracks when everything else was done if I recall, but it wasn't difficult the guy who did the installation was a German backpacker.
I've got to do the same thing in a couple of months (different house). My plan is to go down to Hafele and select fairly upmarket fittings. I was down there a few weeks ago and they had some neat stuff in their display. My philosophy is that by doing all the work myself I can use top quality materials and still save a heap - could have a rethink if their prices are outrageous of course!.
Go for it and good luckCheers, Glen

Any chance you could take some photos and make it a WIP - Work in Progress thread? This would be very interesting. I, too, need to build such a wardrobe and would be very interested in how you find it.

constructing a built in wardrobe
Hi Andrew 29,
An interesting project. It's almost always easier to build the wardrobe as a stand alone unit or modules as the case may be and then offer it up into the space to be filled with appropriate fillers on the ends. That's the commercial norm. There's a heap of reasons for going that way which you will discover if you go the build- in- situ way. The incorporation of a back is an essential part of getting the whole thing very square which in turn is an essential part of getting the doors to fit etc etc.You really need a floor as well for the same reasons and I'd go for a kickboard as part of this.The use of sheet materials to build the carcase is a very quick way to get the job done. 16mm whiteboard is the go here for a wardrobe. Don't get the HMR version as it's s good bit more expensive and not required for this application. If you build as a stand alone unit/s as i suggest you will have to construct the whole as modules that can be got to where they are required. Remember you can't tip up a 2400 cupboard module under a 2400 ceiling!! If you are going to use sheet materials for carcassing get a local joinery works to supply and cut the sheets for you. You will get +/- 0.5mm width accuracy and usually dead square which makes building the carcases a breeze. Use confirmat screws and buy the necessary step drill for predrilling the holes. Get the joinery works to edge the sheets where they will be visible. Select your sliding door hardware now before you do anything so it can be incorporated into the design phase. Hettich and Hafele both have a great range and both are represented in Hobart now. Good luck with this its a physically large project but the joinery(using sheets and stand alone modules) is absolutely simplistic . Old Pete

With a 3m span you should build it in such a way that the span over the wardrobe will NOT sag if, for instance, all the doors are slid to the middle at one time. I know cavity doors are usually light-weight, but a long span can quickly sag under just it's own weight, let alone with doors adding to it. It'll need to be either fastened to the ceiling, designed along the lines of a truss or simply over-engineered.
All the built-ins I've constructed have been just that; fully built-in. I also cut away sections of the ceiling plaster so I could build frames from 70x or 90x35 studs, securely attached to existing walls, floors and ceiling joists. These were then plastered & painted, inside & out to blend with existing walls... hell, they are new walls, complete with cornice & kick-boards!
Properly done, you'd never know they weren't built at the same time as the rest of the house.

thanks guys, i'll post some photos as i go. i'm sure i'll have a few questions along the way!
thanks pete, i reckon your suggestion of building it stand alone sounds like a good idea. i've heard a less than sqare house makes a built in a challenge at times and whacking a sqare well built wardrobe where it needs to go should be more achievable. and if a few years down the track it needs moving that would be easier too.
Any suggestions as to a good hobart joinery service I could use?
Pete, when you suggest making modules separately and then installing them, do you mean that the runners for the sliking doors would be attached to these modules? so theoretically the wardrobe is completely freestanding?
Thanks again

Built in wardrobes
Hi Andrew 29.
The previous post from 'skewchidamn' sets out the normal methodology whereby the doors hang and operate in front of the wardrobe shelving and hanging space modules etc assuming you want floor to ceiling doors that is. If you don't want to enclose the whole space to the ceiling then you will need to do a bit of framing to bring the top of the wardrobe down and then plaster above the cut off point.
Thurstans Joinery in Mornington will probably be willing to cut your sheets to size. If you have to buy the sheets yourself for them to cut then Laminex is literally just a few doors up the street from them. Work out a cutting plan from the available sheet sizes to suit your job as you don't want to waste any of that whiteboard at about $16 per m2. Confirmat screws and step drills available from Specialised Joinery Supplies in Burnett St.

One important thing I learned when doing this is that it is a very bad idea to assume that your existing walls/floor/ceiling are square to each other. If you use them as references for your construction you may not end up with square final results.
PeterThe other day I described to my daughter how to find something in the garage by saying "It's right near my big saw". A few minutes later she came back to ask: "Do you mean the black one, the green one, or the blue one?".

Andrew, goodonya for having a go. In regards to the quote etc you haven't said what the sliding doors are ie mirrored or mdf/chipboard panels. If they are mirrors then they would be from lamimated safety glass and that bloody dear.
10th Feb 2009, 10:10 PM #10
Hi guys,
thanks for the advice so far. I'm starting to plan the cutting list for the modules that will make up the guts of the wardrobe.
My plan at this stage is to:
- design several modules for the shelves/drawers/rails which will be made out of 16mm whiteboard.
- get them cut out for me and then put them together in the shed. My plan at this stage is that they will be very 'boxlike' with a base, top and back.
- take them upstairs and install them where they will go (after cutting out the carpet in that section).
- once i have them in I'll install a plate on the floor in front of the modules for the sliding doors (i.e. the doors and top and bottom support won't be part of the modules).
- install an end and the doors
- sit back and admire my handiwork.

Hi Andrew 29.
Looks like you are going real well with the project. One change I'd suggest. That whiteboard is bloody heavy and the less lugging it around you do with it the better. For that reason I'd clear out your room so you have plenty of space and I'd assemble the modules in front of the space to be filled and then I'd just skid them into place and screw them to the wall. If you have all the holes pre-drilled for confirmat screws it will take but an hour or two to assemble the bits also you can assemble bits up to 2400 to go under a 2400 ceiling doing it in front of the space.
You don't have to use whiteboard-- you can use edged chipboard if you want and its a good bit cheaper.It varnishes up quite nicely. Remember to incorporate some timber of substance in the back at top and bottom to screw through to secure the job to the wall. Laminex sell a 2" x 1" pine batten wrapped in white polyvinyl foil that is suitable and quite cheap. Likewise there is a 3mm 2400 x 1200 white MDF sheet for making the backs. Stapling is the best means of attachment, far better than brads.
Get started before you lose motivation!!

I put in a built in for exactly the same reason you are doing it - to save money. We have a walk in robe which is a room off our bedroom, about 3m x 2.7m. The quote to put in a built in robe was over 4k, and I did it myself for well under 2k. We didn't need doors, because it is already a room in its own right - with doors I'd imagine our quote would have been over 5k.
Instead of building it like a normal built-in, which is pretty much pre-constructed and then installed, I built it in place. I firstly measured the room (all measurements, as nothing is square) and drew up a floor plan, making notes of every measurement. Then I made some notes of the needs that we had for space in the robe. For example, I spec'd shoe shelves for my darling (and for me), which she said she didn't want. I counted her shoes and convinced her that it was a good idea, and built them anyway. She says they are the best feature of the robe.
Rather than just use standard measurements I measured the clothes that we wanted to hang, which led to me making my hanging space wider than my darling's, because my coats are wider (across the shoulders I mean ). This may not seem like a big deal, but when you have a limited space and you want to fit everything in it can make a difference. I also tailored the corner shelves so that we could get to every space easily, and made sure we had enough hanging space for long clothes (dresses and long coats). And then I put some wider shelves up top to store suitcases on.
I over-engineered the lot, which is my usual way of doing things. We joke that if ever the house gets blown over in a cyclone at least the wardrobe will still be standing. I can hang off the shelves (and I weigh more than I'd like)... I made it mostly out of 18mm MDF, using 19mm yellow-tongue for the uprights because I had a few sheets of it lying around. I couldn't afford to buy the plastic-coated chip-board, so I made do with what I had, and put 3 coats of paint on every surface to seal the MDF and make sure that the paint wouldn't easily wear off. I also put hardwood strips on the front of every shelf and upright, so make it look a little more finnished. Every shelf and upright is supported by 2 x 1 pine, which is screwed into studs through the plaster and also stuck to the walls with construction adhesive. and the bars for the hanging space are chrome steel bars cut to length and supported by blocks of 90x35 pine with holes drilled in them.
I decided to go without drawers, as we didn't want them. It was also easier to just use shelves. It isn't the prettiest wardrobe in the world (my darling insisted I paint it white, while I would have chosen a darker colour to hide the faults), but it is one of the most functional I've ever lived with, and it is tailored perfectly to our needs. It is also very very solid indeed... And it was very cheap to make, and pretty easy. Included in the costs were a good quality 60cm level (essential because if you measure from floor or ceiling the shelves will not be level!), and a few other tools including a sturdy 4 step stepladder, and it still came in under $1500. Oh, and I used lots and lots of spakfilla to hide my mistakes (there were plenty).
The best thing about it is that my darling absolutely loves it, and shows it off to everyone who comes to visit for the first time. Since then she has let me build a built-in bookcase along a 3m wall, from floor to ceiling. That went considerably better because I'd learnt lots...
I'll see if I can find a couple of pics to post...Bob C.
Never give up.

hi Andrew
How is your built in wardrobe progressing? can you post some photos please? i'd be very keen.
I'm thinking about building one for us. It would be 2330 wide by 2700 tall. i got a quote from space works in lane cove for $3640 for it and that's with only primed doors(hinged) for me to paint myself. their wardrobes are lovely - the ones thnat are cleated to the walls and don't touch the carpet underneath etc. but i was thinking i could possibly do it myself for way less than that but it would really be my first wood work attempt plus i've got 2 little kids underfeet and a very non square house. hmm...not sure.
would love to ehard how you've managed and any advice you've got to pass on

Hi Maidagirl,
I haven't started yet, the arrival of a rugrat has delayed progress... So far ive only visited a joiner to ask about them cutting the stuff for me.
I should be able to start soon so I'll keep you up to date on how i go.

A couple months ago I took a trip to Thailand. Of course, I ate and ate and ate… and ate… tons of amazing food: curry and noodles and sticky rice with mango (oh my!). But believe it or not, not all Thai food is awesome.
I spent my last night in Bangkok picking up cheap souvenirs, including these Cheetos from one of the kazillion 7-Elevens (I love love love Cheetos and couldn't resist!).
So what did they taste like? Actually very bland. They looked like American Cheetos, and they were crunchy. But they had hardly any cheesy flavor (or, um, "cheesy" flavor). Go figure. They did whet my appetite for real Cheetos, though… So maybe this weekend I'll try this.
Has anyone else tried any foreign versions of American junk food, and what did you think?

Dorking residents appear as extras in BBC drama Mayday
Posted: June 15, 2012|
DOZENS of locals enjoyed a day in the spotlight as film crews took over a Dorking street.
Residents were given the chance to appear as extras in the new BBC drama Mayday.
The crew filmed the show's opening sequence, closing Dene Street and transforming it into the scene of a May Day parade.
An old-fashioned carousel was placed on Cotmandene, with nearby bars, restaurants and houses used as locations.

Speaking at the shoot on Thursday, producer Chris Fry told the Advertiser: "This is the opening sequence of the show, very early on in episode one.
"We are setting the scene for the show here, really. It is a big day for us, we have got lots of local people and lots of amazing costumes and make-up design.
"It is all going well so far, everything is looking good, everyone has been very friendly and helpful and we are enjoying being in Dorking."
Anneliese Cameron, 45, whose Dene Street house was used as the home of one of the main characters, said: "I saw the advert in the newspaper and I am lucky they decided to use my house.
"It has been great for the town to be involved in this. It was great for my children to be able to see how a TV production gets put together and the number of people that are involved."
The Ewell St Mary's Morris Dancers were involved in the first scene, and devised two new dances for the occasion.
Group member Ted Smith, 60, said: "We are leading the procession to the May Fair.
"We have done things like this before, we were in the Wimbledon Poisoner (a 1994 TV drama) and last year we did a Pimm's advert.
"We like to be a bit creative, so we have come up with some dances of our own.
"There is a bit of hanging around involved but it's all good fun and it's nice to keep it local."
Wendy Charman, who appeared as an extra alongside her Dorking Ranmore WI colleagues, said: "It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We are not likely to get another chance to do something like this."
Filming will continue until the end of July, and the six-part series will be screened on BBC One in the autumn.

You know you've done something truly evil when even Hezbollah and Hamas disown you.But it's always been Al Qaeda's weakness, to go too far, and while the man responsible for Nick Berg's beheading, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, is not actually a member of that terrorist group he seems to share their psychotic lack of judgment. It goes without saying that sawing off a man's head with a knife is nothing more than demented. I have seen the video and it is as hideous as one would imagine. However, if there is a positive to be found in Berg's death, it is that it may well mean the end of Osama bin Laden's insanity. You see, terrorism is supposed to have a purpose, and Al Qaeda's purpose is far too extreme and unachievable for that group to survive. And Berg's beheading, perhaps, may even lead to a schism between Iraqi insurgents and the foreign instigators like al-Zarqawi who have been whipping up the flames of the rebellion against our occupation. The strong condemnations issued by Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Palestinian group Hamas show the difference between terrorists with an achievable purpose and maniacs like Al Qaeda. Calling Berg's execution "brutal" and "cruel," Hezbollah also pointed out that it "has caused great harm to Islam and to Muslims." Hamas representative Osama Hamdan said he sympathized with Berg's family and, like Berg's father, put some of the blame on President Bush. It's also important to note that both groups condemned the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks as well, and that's a key point. Hamas and Hezbollah have an achievable goal, that being the creation of a Palestinian state. I'm sure they would also love to see the destruction of Israel, but at this point in the game they know that's not going to happen. But they also know that, one day, they may just win, or at least achieve partial victory, and at least some of their leaders seem able to see past that day and realize that they will have to make friends with us some time in the future. After all, we do have all the money. The same thing happened with the IRA. They had an achievable objective, the liberation of North Ireland from Protestant and English rule. Heck, they even formed Sinn Feinn, essentially their public relations arm, and now that their goal is gradually being realized they can let that side of their movement take over. Now, Al Qaeda and al-Zarqawi, their only purpose is the destruction of the United States and the creation of an Islamic world. That, my friends, is just crazy, and that's why only nuts join Al Qaeda. The only reason they've made it this far is because bin Laden is rich and I'm sure other people in that neck of the woods donate money to them because it's good to have a wild card to play. But not that wild, nobody wants it that wild. This includes the Iraqi rebels. They have an achievable objective, the expulsion of United States forces from their native country. But after the war they are still going to need our help someday. They're going to want to trade, and you can bet that many of the Iraqi resistance leaders realize this. Here's a case in point. Do you remember the Japanese civilians who were recently taken hostage by Iraqi insurgents who threatened to burn them alive if Japan didn't withdraw from Iraq? Well, I recently learned that those hostages were actually treated well and asked to act frightened for the camera in the videotape the insurgents made to list their demands. And let's remember that even our favorite prisoner of war Jessica Lynch was treated fairly well by her Iraqi captives, and before the pictures of the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse started coming out hostage Thomas Hamill was at least not tortured or beaten. They even operated on his injured arm, even though they also caused the injury to that arm. But it is a war. So the Iraqis are as civilized as we are, despite what we saw at Fallujah, and they want us to go. So why would they endorse Berg's killing when it is not only brutal and uncivilized, but a really good way to make America want to keep fighting. By the way, as I've said before, that is just what Al Qaeda wants, for us to stay in Iraq, slowly bleeding to death and giving Al Qaeda a wonderful recruiting program. Thus, I think that even at this very moment a few smart Iraqi insurgency leaders are very, very displeased with al-Zarqawi. If they have any sense, they'll cut his head off and drop it off in front of one of our bases. But I'm not sure they have that option. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if the Iraqis begin pulling further and further apart from their foreign "supporters." And that can only be a good thing for us. Perhaps Berg's death was not in vain.

HYANNIS — The third time was a charm for the Pope John Paul II lineup.
Mashpee pitcher Jason Demers kept the Lions' lineup off-balance through the first two go-arounds, but the PJP bats opened up the third time around. They struck for six runs in the bottom of the fifth on their way to an 8-1 Division 4 South first round victory.
The top-seeded Lions advance to the quarterfinals, where they will host Upper Cape Tech on Tuesday, time TBA. No. 17 Mashpee finished its season at 12-12.
Pope John Paul was held at bay by Demers, who fed the Lions a steady diet off-speed pitches. The Lions still held a 2-1 lead entering the fifth inning when Matt Santos' leadoff bunt single opened up the floodgates.
Three batters later, Collin Russell scored Santos with a sacrifice fly and Kevin Marsh followed up with a two-run double to give the Lions a comfortable 5-1 lead. Matt Thatcher and Connor Kennedy also drove in runs with extra base-hits to open up a commanding 8-1 lead.
"I thought it was just a matter of time before we got to [Demers] but tip your hat, he kept us off balance the first few innings," PJP coach Mark Santos said.
Austin Houlihan kept the Falcon bats silent until he got some offensive support. The senior right-hander tossed a complete game, allowing four hits and striking out 10. The lone run, which was unearned, came on a second-inning RBI single from Jordan Pinhack.
"Deep down they knew that had a job to do and there is a little unfinished business as far as they are concerned," Santos said. "Their focus is where it should be and they haven't forgotten last year, I can tell you that."
The Lions lost to Lowell Catholic in the Division 4 state final last spring.

In this 2nd part of the "Supernatural / Comic-Con" video,the cast and producers of CW's "Supernatural" made their way out to Comic-Con 2009 to talk about some more season 5 action.
Cast members, Jim Beaver (Bobby Singer) and Misha Collins (Castiel) were able to make it to the press panel with the producers. Unfortunately,Jared Padalecki (Sam) and Jensen Ackles (Dean) could not make it,as they were shooting the 5th season of "Supernatural" over in Canada.
Misha said this season will be amped up a lot. Jim beaver said it's going to be a pretty intense season as they blow the cap off of the apocalypse.
One of the producers explained that they're going to make the Devil sort of sympathetic. He's going to have a point of view, having been betrayed by those closest to him,and having a chip on his shoulder. He's going to be the most honest of all the characters.
He also said that even though the crazy,scary apocalypse is going on, it's going to be the most optimistic season they've ever done. He said they spent most of last season tearing Dean and Sam apart. So this season, they will slowly but surely bring them back together.
The video (below) concludes with Misha jokingly commenting about him and Jim's character's being more important than Jared and Jensen's characters. It was really funny.

Durban - A brutal rape in Glenwood has horrified and angered residents who have lashed out at the number of whoonga addicts in their neighbourhood.
They have asked why, five weeks later, the shocking crime has not been made public to warn others.
The 37-year-old victim was assaulted and raped in a small "park" area in Nicholson Road on April 10. She was attacked by two men after trying to catch her cat which had escaped from her garden. The incident occurred late in the evening after she had returned home from work.
A close friend of the woman, who asked not to be named, said she was beaten, aggressively raped and burnt with cigarettes all over her body, including the genital region.
"Obviously I cannot say the perpetrators were on whoonga, but the aggression with which they raped and beat her was evident of people so out of touch with any kind of morality and awareness that they probably were on whoonga," the friend said.
The victim said one of the men wore a red T-shirt, but covered his face with it. But she has been able to give details for an identikit to be drawn of the other man.
When the men finished assaulting her, they took her clothes, leaving her naked.
She was kept in hospital for two weeks because of the seriousness of her injuries.
"The whoonga addicts are a problem in the area. You see them walk around in twos or threes, completely 'out of their minds'," the friend said, adding that the problem of addicts moving to the area from Albert Park needed to be addressed.
The authorities should stop talking about plans to deal with or rehabilitate the addicts and start doing so, said the friend.
A Nicholson Road resident, who did not want to be named, said some of the lights in the park were not working.
"Every night I go there and chase the vagrants away," he said.
Guy Perrins, the chairman of Glenwood Community Watch, said although the authorities were trying to eradicate the problem, more needed to be done with more resources made available to fight the number of whoonga addicts moving into the area.
"In the past four months we have had a spike of crime in the area, such as hijackings, muggings, robberies, house break-ins, car thefts and yard hopping."
Perrins said news of the rape had shocked him, but he was just as shocked by the lack of information circulated by police about the incident.
"We did hear about it, but when we followed up with police and residents nearby who may have heard her screaming for help, we never received any information. No one knew about it, so we dismissed it as something that did not happen.
"But now that we know it did happen, we are absolutely shocked and feel sorry for this poor victim. It is very worrying," he said.
Police said no arrests had been made yet. They were not able to give the identikit to The Mercury.

The growing problem of copper thefts has the power company fighting back.
Kentucky Utilities has had more than 28 reports of stolen copper so far this year alone.
Not only is it expensive, they say it's a safety hazard.
That's why KU has decided to use new technology to trace and recover stolen copper. They'll be marking copper with codes.
KU is also using more copper-weld in wires, instead of pure copper. It's more difficult to cut and is worth less money at scrap dealers.

People will try to help you, but you need to give them something to work with.
BSOD mostly occurs when your display/sound driver gets corrupt.
So re-install/update your graphic card/sound card drivers and even update Direct-X.
[Edited by darkone112, 7/12/2010 11:19:38 AM]
A Blue Screen is also known technically as a STOP error because it contains a technical string called the STOP code. This code tells you why your computer stopped. We need this code to tell you what happened. It is found near the bottom half of the screen and looks like this (inside the red box):
Please report back this STOP code and we will see if we can find out the cause. Make sure to at the very least get the first set. The numbers in the parentheses can be ignored for now.
[Edited by Neo7, 7/12/2010 11:21:42 AM]
it was happened fast but something like thatphsyx bumpingfiles to disc also there was numbers near that error there was increasing
Well then the problem is with your PhysX drivers. Re-install them. And after that I recommend you update your graphic card drivers too. And don't forget Direct-X, just in case.
And a question to you - Which card are you using? Installing PhysX drivers on a card that does not support it can result in to BSOD too.
well my card is supporting physx i thinkgtx 275 ok lets try reinstalling physx

MBARI hosted a workshop in spring of 2010 for the purpose of reviewing the needs of autonomous water sampling systems in marine science. Collecting water samples and transporting them to the laboratory for analysis will remain a critical activity for the ocean sciences for the foreseeable future. While methods for ship-based sampling are well understood, the growing use of autonomous platforms, both fixed and mobile, raises both opportunities and technical challenges.
The goal of the CANON workshop was to develop a detailed understanding of sampling needs, including requirements for sample size, spatial and temporal scales of sample intake, sample container sterility, onboard sample processing or preservation methods appropriate for specific organisms, and subsequent sample analyses. Workshop participants included science users and technology developers of water sampling systems.
Workshop technology priorities
- Creation of sampling devices (such as the gulper water sampler) that can filter and collect volumes of water ranging from one to four liters. Collecting larger samples of water will allow researchers to capture fairly large phytoplankton, organisms, and to have a greater range of data to work with.
- Development of more than 50 devices that would collect small volume samples of water (less than 50 milliliters).
- Development of devices that can not only capture water, but can follow changes with onboard instrumentation (nitrate, oxygen, and flow cytometry).
Workshop case study presentations
Five case-studies were presentations in different areas of marine ecology. Presentations included an introduction to the problem, a description of the sampling methods presently in use, and a vision of how sampling methods should be further developed to advance the specific research area.

|The Great East Japan Earthquake occurred on March 11, 2011. In the first 10 days after the event, information about radiation risks from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant was unavailable, and the disaster response, including deployment of disaster teams, was delayed. Beginning on March 17, 2011, the Japan Medical Association used a geographic information system (GIS) to visualize the risk of radiation exposure in Fukushima. This information facilitated the decision to deploy disaster medical response teams on March 18, 2011.Nagata T, Kimura Y, Ishii M.

GEORGETOWN, Ky. (WKYT) - A two month long, undercover investigation lead to a major drug bust in Georgetown Wednesday afternoon.
Police raided the Quick Stop convenience store at the corner of Pocahontas and South Broadway, seizing dozens of packages of synthetic marijuana, with a street value of nearly $20,000. The workers wanted by police were not at the store at the time of the raid, but investigators say they couldn't wait any longer to move in.
"Anytime we have something like this, of this magnitude and this quantity, you know the place has a drive through window, so it's important to get it off the street as early as possible," says Captain Robert Swanigan, with Georgetown police.
The clerk, who was working at the time, was arrested on an unrelated warrant.
Police say they also recovered a gun and some cash. Investigators say they know who they are looking for and expect to make arrests soon.

Writes Al B of Hartland: "One of my students in a writing class had the hiccups.
"I asked the rest of the class if they had any cures. As is usually the case, someone advised that the troubled young man say 'Pineapple.'

"A day later, I tried the same cure on my hiccupping wife. Her hiccups stopped."
Fun Facts to Know and Tell
Antibiotics vs. Probiotics Division
WARNING! Potential threat to contented dining ahead, in this fascinating report by Beekeeper Bob of Stillwater: "Whenever I visit the dentist nowadays, I have to take antibiotics to prevent any infections from the dental work, because of my heart condition. This, of course, kills all the bacteria in my system. A few days later, I have to take probiotics to get the good bacteria back into my gut.
"The other night, I was reading a book about the life of black bears ('Out on a Limb: What Black Bears Have Taught Me about Intelligence and Intuition,' by Benjamin Kilham). Because they do not eat all winter, when they come out of hibernation in the spring, they have lost the good bacteria for digesting vegetation, so they seek to eat the fresh dropping of ungulates (deer and rabbits, who digest vegetation all year long) to take as a probiotic to get the good bacteria back in their gut.
"Fresh is important. The author tested the theory by putting fresh droppings into a glass jar with leaves and grasses, filling it with water, and heating it to 100 degrees F.
"The author also noted that during World War II, the German troops in North Africa were dying of dysentery in alarming numbers, and they had no cure. They noticed that the Arabs never died of the disease. They closely noted that the Arabs, when they got sick, followed their camels and donkeys around, then quickly grabbed a small amount of feces and swallowed it. The Germans isolated the Bacillus subtilis bacteria from camel and donkey fresh, steaming droppings and cured the epidemic among the troops. Bacillus capsules are still available today to treat intestinal problems."
Not exactly what they had in mind
Headline Division
Donald: "Subject: This would make Sammy run!
"I know Twins pitcher Samuel Deduno has had some rough outings (Sunday's statistics: seven hits and seven earned runs in 2 1/3 innings), and his ERA as a starter is 6.52, but I think the solution being pondered by the Twins, as indicated by a headline in Sports on Page C5 of Monday's edition of the paper across the river, borders on the extreme: 'Twins seek fix for Deduno.' "
Everyone's a copy editor!
Lola: "From a story in today's PP on yesterday's Twins game: 'Nolasco's last detail was an international walk....'
"Now, I have been a baseball fan for many years and have never heard of an international walk. Anyone know what it might be?"

Marie of North Branch: "God promised Noah that never again would flood waters destroy the earth. I'm beginning to wonder if God was only joking with him...."
Then & Now
Growing Up Division
From Dragonslayer of Oakdale: "Grandma J. and Tim Torkildson have told stories of their youth -- of the freedom to be children and explore the world and then return for supper.
"I, too, grew up in a time when Mom said 'Go out and play, or help me with housework.' I went out and played.
"I'm not sure why, but today it seems that everything is scary. Listen to the news and commentators preface their stories with 'This is a scary story.' It seems we have grown afraid of life.
"My wife just had a medical event that caused her heart to have to be restarted. People said to me: That must have been scary. No, it was not scary; it was disorienting and clouded my thinking for a time, but not scary.
"We also seem to have a fixation on safety and security. We don't trust the things we teach our children, or their ability to carry them out.
"I read a quote from Helen Keller that said: 'Security is mostly superstition.... Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.' Somehow I worry that life may become the nothing Helen Keller wrote about, if young people are too scared to act.
"Another quote I read, and I do not know the author, said: 'Behold the turtle. He never gets anywhere until he sticks his neck out.'
"The thing that affects our safety the most is inattentiveness to the things around us -- distractions caused by inappropriate use of technology, or poor training.
"Most kids I see are great kids, just scared. Crossing the street is dangerous, but we are taught how to do it and we do not think too much about it. We trust it can be done safely."
Keeping your eyes open
Just a constant reader: "Has anyone noticed the duck/loon image in the green light at the intersection of Larpenteur and Fairview? After reading BB for all these years, I know I can't possibly be the only one."
BULLETIN BOARD SAYS: No, you most likely aren't.
You most likely are the only one who'll get to say so in print, though, because ... well, because "Yes, I've seen it," "Yes, I've seen it," "Yes, I've seen it" (etc.) doesn't make for much of a conversation!
Trolley days, trolley nights
Paul Newpower: "Thank you for the articles on the streetcars in St. Paul.
"Many wondered where the streetcars went. And a post by a visitor to Mexico City years later mentioned riding one there.
"The streetcars were actually sold to Mexico City in 1954. My father, Paul Newpower, and co-worker Herman Birkland were sent to Mexico City with the old streetcars, to show them how to operate and repair them. They spent three months doing that. Then my mother, Rose, and Herman's wife traveled down for the final week, which turned out to be a big Mexican celebration of gratitude to Paul, Herman and the TCRT for facilitating a new transportation system for that city.
"Whatever happened after that to the streetcars is another story."

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Health officials issued a warning to past and present guests of a Las Vegas resort after a bacterium linked to Legionnaires' disease was discovered in its water system.
The Southern Nevada Health District and federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently took water samples at Polo Towers after four guests were diagnosed with the disease.
Health officials say two of the guests were diagnosed in the last couple of months and two others were diagnosed in 2007, and all four were treated successfully.
Diamond Resorts International officials say the bacterium was confined to four rooms out of 800 and they are working with the health district to fix the problem.
They say the company has closed and secured those rooms and informed guests and employees by mail about the disease.
In addition, the resort has initiated super chlorination treatment on its hot water system. ---

Today was the first in the 2008 Olympic Regatta when Qingdao lived up to its reputation as the windless sailing venue, with the first full day's racing in six, being lost completely.
Prior to this regatta the region's reputation for not exactly having wind by the bucketful, caused the International Sailing Federation to write a specific sailing instruction, that allowed just one race to be sailed to constitute the regatta.
In hindsight that action has proved rather unnecessary, and Qingdao has delivered its fair share of wind – just like any other venue.
Today it was a case of hurry up and wait, before the pin was finally pulled on the racing around 1530hrs.
Sure enough with the racing off, the breeze kicked in with an easterly breeze of 12 knots – easily the strongest of the regatta, almost rattling the media centre windows. Predictions for the rest of the week are for more of then same – with relatively strong winds forecast for the first of the medal races on Saturday.
See our story with the graphics from PredictWind for a full analysis of the weather expected over the next five days. PredictWind is the brain-child of Alinghi weather team member, Jon Bilger, and has been proven to be very accurate, in our experience over the past few months.

The outcome of the abandonment of racing has caused tomorrow's program to be compressed, with all five course areas being used for the first time in the regatta. And all 11 classes will be sailing for the first time.
Tomorrow the Star and Tornado classes are due to start racing, and will be on Course A, just off the seawall at Qingdao.
As so often happens on these occasions, some issues grows ashore to be the main interest of the day, and today was no different, with the Code Zero question occupying the minds of many competing in the Tornado class.
After having issued a media release just a day ago saying that he would be using one of the smaller spinnaker developments that can be carried to windward, the Dutch decided to revert back to conventional spinnakers for the regatta, after hearing the weather prognosis - which is for winds of around 16knots tomorrow and staying at that strength for the rest of the regatta.
This is well outside the effective range for the Code Zero, which is about 11kts.

Sail-World understands that only the US crew have opted to use the Code Zero. Interestingly, their crew, Charlie Ogletree is Chairman of the International Tornado Class Technical Committee – and is highly experienced in the clas. They will have weighed the options carefully. Sail-World understands that the US crew measured in two small spinnakers (one is a spare), while other crews were intending to hedge their bets with one of each.
Certainly several other top crews had run major development programs with both the Code Zero, and regular sized sails before making the decision to stay with a conventional sail, late this afternoon.
There won't be too much spare space on the media boats for Course A tomorrow, and the Tornado race promises to be the major point of interest, thus far.
We'll have full coverage and photos on the Sail-World.Com website as soon as the race is over.
Good Sailing!

Photo by Jack GouldIf al-Qaida is serious about recent threats to strike at U.S. economic interests, we could end up waging war on two—or even three—fronts, from the Middle East and Asia all the way to Latin America. That's because, in our government's view, U.S. interests start and end with oil.
Already, we have spent billions upon billions of dollars and sacrificed a large number of lives protecting supplies of crude in remote corners of the world. Though we lean heavily on stable sources such as Canada, our biggest supplier, we're also dependent on several volatile nations. Saudi Arabia tops that list, followed by Venezuela and Mexico. West Africa is a growing exporter, with Nigeria now our No. 5 provider. Despite continued sanctions, Iraq remains our sixth-largest supplier.
Strong environmental opposition has made searching for supplemental barrels at home more difficult. And with no real national commitment to improving efficiency or developing renewable fuels, we have to look abroad. That means break out the guns and start writing checks—big, big checks.
Saddam Hussein's invading Kuwait and threatening our flow of petroleum cost $61.1 billion, of which U.S. taxpayers paid $23 billion.
With the war in Afghanistan—a nation key to the dream of Central Asian pipelines—winding down, U.S. troops are now stationed in Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Georgia, at a price of $80,000 per soldier per year. That comes on top of the $12.6 billion we spent getting rid of the Taliban.
One figure, from the Sydney Morning Herald, tallies U.S. expenditures on troops and advisers in Central Asia at $200 billion. The real aim is to secure the region for more pipelines. American companies are involved in an enormous venture with the Chinese to build a pipeline more than 3,000 miles long, stretching from the Caspian Sea to Shanghai; a second consortium would open a pipe from the Caspian to a Turkish port. The U.S. also has an interest in Russian oil rigs and pipelines. The war in Chechnya has left the Russians facing a constant specter of terrorists blowing up any network. Thus U.S. Special Forces stand by protectively in the former Soviet republics while the meter runs.
When we're not keeping rebels at bay, we're making sticky deals with monarchs. The Saudis, for instance, use some of the wealth they gain from selling oil to us to buy American arms. Between 1998 and 2001, the U.S. transferred arms to the Saudis worth $12.8 billion.
Estimates are that the next Iraq war will cost between $20 billion and $30 billion. The U.S. will pay more because Gulf allies like the Saudis won't be picking up the tab. The U.S. hopes to recoup this expense through the sale of Iraqi oil, currently worth $17 billion annually.
Here's a look at the lengths our government and its shadow enforcers will go to in order to protect your local pump:WEST AFRICA Anxious to diversify away from the Middle East, the U.S. has begun looking to oil from Gulf of Guinea nations such as Nigeria, Angola, Gabon and S�o Tom�. All of these countries are almost totally dependent on the export of oil.
The desperation has led to neo-colonial ugliness, with Shell Oil in particular facing local fury. Shell encouraged the Nigerian government to stop activist Ken Saro-Wiwa, who in the late 1990s organized protests against the company's operations on Ogoni tribal lands. Nigerian officials eventually arrested and hanged Saro-Wiwa.
Painted as an international pariah, the company was forced to admit it had armed Nigeria's ruthless mobile police—nicknamed the Kill and Go Mob—whose members killed 80 people in one village where Shell installations were being attacked.INDONESIA Already antsy oil and gas companies in Indonesia grew nervous after last week's terrorist attacks. Indonesia is the world's largest exporter of liquefied natural gas, with big customers in Taiwan, Japan and South Korea. The economies of all three nations rely entirely on imported energy. Any cut in the supply lines could quickly turn catastrophic, with effects on the manufacture of goods sold to U.S. consumers.
ConocoPhillips, BP, Unocal and ExxonMobil all have Indonesian interests. One export terminal was shut for five months last year following a separatist bombing that damaged the apparatus and caused ExxonMobil to pull out its staff.
American troops have not participated in Indonesia since 1999 because of that country's human rights abuses in East Timor. But after Sept. 11, President Bush moved to increase military aid and relax restrictions on American military presence. A supplemental appropriations bill provided $16 million for the training of Indonesian police and $4 million for the military.VENEZUELA This hemisphere's established line to cheap crude, Venezuela has always been a bastion for the international oil companies. It's our third largest supplier, so our interests there are regarded as a matter of paramount concern.
Evidence, though inconclusive, points to U.S. officials' having fomented the abortive coup against Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez last April because they feared his populist politics. More to the point, as a recent head of OPEC, Chavez could direct the oil cartel from Bush's back yard, although in recent months, he has been doing just the opposite—busting OPEC's price levels to rake in dollars and help pay off Venezuela's debt. Nonetheless, Washington has always dreaded the prospect of Venezuela linking up with Mexico inside OPEC.COLOMBIA The U.S. has maneuvered itself smack into the middle of Colombia's civil war, ostensibly with the goal of eradicating dope (an endless and futile effort), but also to protect an Occidental Oil pipeline that has been carrying increasing amounts of oil destined for the U.S. Local rebels have attacked this line 170 times and last week struck again, disrupting operations.

Too Big to Fail: The Transatlantic Debate
by Morris Goldstein, Peterson Institute for International Economics
and Nicolas Veron, Peterson Institute for International Economics
January 2011
Although the United States and the European Union were both seriously impacted by the financial crisis of 2007, resulting policy debates and regulatory responses have differed considerably on the two sides of the Atlantic. In this paper the authors examine the debates on the problem posed by "too big to fail" financial institutions. They identify variations in historical experiences, financial system structures, and political institutions that help one understand the differences of approaches between the United States, EU member states, and the EU institutions in addressing this problem. The authors then turn to possible remedies and how they may be differentially implemented in America and Europe. They conclude on which policy developments are likely in the near future.

Ground Beef and Barley Soup Recipe
5 15
I came across this recipe years ago at a recipe exchange through a church group. The contributor didn't sign her name, so I don't know who to thank. But my husband and son thank me for preparing it by helping themselves to seconds and thirds! - Ellen McCleary, Scotland, Ontario

- 4 medium carrots, sliced
- 2 cups water
- 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed tomato soup, undiluted

It's been so long,
Since I've known despair,
It's been so long,
Since I hadn't a care.
There's been so much joy,
In my life presently,
He's opened up my eyes,
And I'm beginning to see.
There hasn't been a teardrop,
Or a feeling of emptiness,
He's touched my life,
With an effect like no rest.
I've learned to love,
I've learned to live,
He's shown me how to blossom,
He's shown me how to give.
But most of all,
He's learned me faith,
And respect for myself,
Which before, I'd learned to hate.

Conventional wisdom suggests that "if you do what you love, the money will follow." Unfortunately, when I surveyed the self-made successful, they overhwlemingly disagreed with that notion. Instead, in my survey of the most successful business people in America, I learned that you must always, always look for the opportunity in business.
To see if this was true, I looked at some unusual success stories, including those from people in the arts, where becoming wealthy is the least likely outcome. By examining the most successful fine artist alive, a clown that became a billionaire and a bit-player on the sitcom Seinfeld who went on to create a cottage industry around his character, I learned that following the money is important no matter what field you choose.
Check out these stories drawn from Business Brilliant Principle #1: Do What You Love, But Always Follow the Money. And ask yourself this. Are you really interested in being successful at what you love to do?
This video was shot at Maison 140 in Beverly Hills.

text: Dr Robert Jay Lifton THE NAZI DOCTORS: Medical Killing and the Psychology of Genocide © Page 39 Back Contents Index Home Page Forward Sterilization and the Nazi Biomedical Vision curriculum to give greater stress to military medicine, population politics, and racial biology.57 Resistance to these changes within medical faculties was extremely limited. One notable example of courageous intellectual opposition was that of Karl Saller, a promising anthropologist who, even prior to the Nazi regime, had been critical of concepts of a Nordic race as a fixed biological entity. In his writing he had the temerity to insist that in all races there was a continually changing gene pool, a constant state of flux, and that the German race had become entwined with many others and contained extensive Slavic influences. That thesis questioned the very basis of the Nazi biomedical vision; and no less a personage than the Gestapo chief Reinhard Heydrich initiated an order prohibiting Saller from teaching, which forced him to leave his post at the University of Munich. At his farewell lecture, he repeated his scientific views and stated that his love of truth and sense of honor prevented him from renouncing them. A handful of other anthropologists were slowly forced to leave university positions, but Saller was notable in speaking out so forthrightly. While many anthropologists, as well as biologists and physicians, must have agreed with his views, they tended to remain silent, and he found himself generally rejected and avoided by former colleagues and friends.58 Occasionally, during lectures, physicians reasserted intellectual and ethical positions at odds with the regime's practices. One anti-Nazi doctor I spoke to told how one of his teachers, Professor Karl Kleist, had refused to serve on a euthanasia commission and had declared to his students, just imagine, they want to have me, an old doctor, commit a crime with my own hands. The professor was said to have been denounced on the spot by student activists, though he was subjected to no punitive measures, possibly because of his seniority. Most anti-Nazi physicians during lectures tended to speak cautiously, more by innuendo. It is possible that Professor Kleist did so as well but that his former student, to whom he was a hero, wishes to remember him as having been even bolder than he was. Perhaps the most moving of all expressions of opposition in Nazi Germany involved three medical students and a few additional students from other faculties at the University of Munich, in the dramatic White Rose resistance group. Over several months during 1942 to 1943, the group issued bold leaflets denouncing the Nazi regime and its immoral behavior (For Hitler and his followers there can be no punishment on this earth which will expiate their crimes), and calling for the German people to overthrow the regime and restore their good name.
