This application is a continuation and claims benefit of priority of pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/979,903, filed Nov. 2, 2004, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,345,320 which claims benefit of priority of PCT Patent Application No. PCT/US2003/026553, filed Aug. 25, 2003, U.S. Provisional Application Nos. 60/405,432, filed Aug. 23, 2002; 60/410,720, filed Sep. 13, 2002; 60/416,948, filed Oct. 8, 2002; 60/420,479, filed Oct. 22, 2002; 60/467,702, filed May 3, 2003 and 60/476,004, filed on Jun. 4, 2003.
This invention relates to the field of light emitting diode ("LED") technology, particularly to improvement in light-emitting devices by integration of novel packaging methodologies to make much higher output LED devices.
Heat can damage sensitive electronic components, degrading reliability and hampering the ability to concentrate higher power levels into smaller packages. Many applications would benefit from the ability to closely package LEDs into compact configurations, but the heat levels generated have always been a limiting factor. As LEDs become more sophisticated, eliminating internal heat buildup has also become increasingly difficult. Devices are becoming more powerful and creating solutions for removing the resulting heat generation often pose great challenges. The drive current through an LED must be controlled. High current densities within the junction of the chip cause partial overheating which damages the crystalline structure of the LED die. At these areas are so called dark line defects, where light ceases to be generated. By rapidly transporting heat away from the junction, dark line defect generation can be reduced or eliminated.
U.S. Patent Publication No. 2003/0036031 to Lieb et al. discloses a light-emitting headpiece for curing light-curable dental resins and similar materials. The device includes a head portion for supporting a LED light source, a tubular handle portion for containing a power source for energizing the LED light source and a nook portion that interconnects the head and handle portions. The head and the neck portions are integrally formed from a common, thermally conductive material and operate to provide a heat sink for the LED. A substantial portion of the light source housing itself functions to dissipate sufficient thermal energy away from the LED allowing the LED to be operated for a time interval sufficient to effect rosin curing.
In U.S. Patent Publication No. 2003/00213 to Herold et al, there is disclosed a method and apparatus for cooling electronic or opto-electronic devices. The apparatus includes the device mounted on a heat sink assembly within a can having a can body and a can header thermally coupled to the heat sink assembly and closing the can body and a thermal conductor outside the can and having a first portion attached to at least part of an edge of the can header and a second portion attached to a thermal sink outside the can.
In U.S. Pat. No. 6,159,005 to Herold et al., there is disclosed a small, light-weight handy device for photo polymerizing synthetic materials. The device includes a built-in battery, a light source constituted by an LED which emits a small useful spectral range only, thereby avoiding any heat radiation. The LED is preferably located at the tip of the device directed towards the site to be polymerized.
In U.S. Pat. No. 6,523,959 to Lu et al., there is disclosed a cooling device to cool a liquid crystal panel and polarizer of an optical system in a liquid crystal projector. The cooling device includes a heat dissipation system comprising a plurality of heat pipes disposed at the two flank sides of said liquid crystal panel.
In U.S. Pat. No. 6,113,212 to Ng et al., there is disclosed a method and apparatus for thermal control of LED print heads using heat pipes to transfer the heat from the LEDs to a heat sink. In this apparatus the LEDs are emitting in a direction that is perpendicular to the axis of the vapor cavity (within the heat pipe) and the LEDs are shown to be mounted, not at the very tip of the heat pipe, but some distance back from the tip mounted on a heat sink as well.
It is believed that none of these U.S. patent documents disclose LEDs on the tips of heat pipes and cooling in a manner to dissipate internal heat energy and packaging the same to achieve maximum light output. A need exists for cooling the LEDs and mounting the same on the heat pipes in a manner which greatly surpasses the performance of conventional cooling techniques and benefit high density, miniaturized LED components. Furthermore, there is a need for a novel LED packaging technology that channels heat away via state-of-the-art micro heat pipes that perform far more efficiently, and in much more compact space, than conventional heat sink technology. Use of heat pipe and LED configurations claimed in this patent application allows the heat to be transported down the heat pipe in an axial direction away from the direction of light propagation. This is in contrast to conventional heat spreaders or heatsinks which transports heat from the die in a radial direction away from it. This prevents close spacing of LED components due to the high thermal energy in a confined area.
In a first embodiment, the present invention is an apparatus for transporting thermal energy. The apparatus comprises at least one heat pipe with each heat pipe having a first end and a second end and a cavity extending from the first end to the second end. A light emitting device is mounted to the first end of each heat pipe with each light emitting device having a "p-n" junction wherein the axis of at least a portion of the vapor cavity intersects the plane of the "p-n" junction.
In a second embodiment, the present invention is a light emitting apparatus comprising a heat pipe having an evaporating end and a condensing end, a light emitting device mounted on the evaporating end of the heat pipe, and a cone of light emitting from the light emitting device wherein the light ray along the cone axis moves in a substantially parallel and opposite direction, a substantially perpendicular direction, or a direction between substantially parallel and opposite and substantially perpendicular to the thermal energy moving along at least a portion of the vapor cavity axis.
In a third embodiment, the present invention is an apparatus comprising an electrically conductive heat pipe and a light emitting device mounted on a tip of the heat pipe wherein the heat pipe provides electricity for the light emitting device and transports heat from the light emitting device.
In a fourth embodiment, the present invention is a light emitting device. The device comprises a substrate having at least one heat pipe and a light emitting device mounted on the substrate wherein heat generated by the light emitting devices travels in a substantially opposite direction from light emitted.
In a fifth embodiment, the present invention is a device for providing light in a predetermined direction. The hand held device comprises a heat pipe with the heat pipe having a first and a second end. A light emitting device is mounted at the first end of the heat pipe. A power supply powers the light emitting device. An activation switch activates the power supply and a hand held housing surrounds at least a portion of the second end of the heat pipe.
In an sixth embodiment, the present invention is a method for curing adhesives on a surface. The method comprises providing at least one light emitting diode mounted to the end of a heat pipe and irradiating said adhesive on said surface with said light emitting diode to cure said adhesive.
In a seventh embodiment, the present invention is a device for curing adhesives on a surface. The device comprises a power supply and a radiation source coupled to said power supply with said radiation source having a radiation output and including at least one light emitting diode mounted to the tip of at least one heat pipe.
In an eighth embodiment, the present invention is a light emitting diode curing device. The device comprises a tubular body having two opposed ends, a wide end and a tip end. A light emitting diode body placed at the tip end with the light emitting diode body having a conductive surface. A heat pipe extends through the tubular body and contacts the conductive surface of the light emitting diode body. A power source is located within the tubular body for powering the light emitting device wherein at least a portion of the tubular body functions as a heat sink.
In a ninth embodiment, the present invention is an apparatus for transporting heat. The apparatus comprises at least one heat pipe with each heat pipe having a first end and a second end. A light emitting device is mounted at the first end of each heat pipe wherein heat generated by each light emitting device is transported in a general direction away from each light emitting device toward the second end of the respective heat pipe.
In a tenth embodiment, the present invention is a device comprising a first circuit layer having a first aperture and a conductive heat spreader layer. The heat spreader is receivable within the aperture of the first circuit layer. At least one light emitting device is secured to the heat spreader layer. A second circuit layer is mounted on the first circuit layer with the second circuit layer having a second aperture for receiving each light emitting device. Circuit traces are formed on the second circuit layer and means for connecting the circuit traces to each light emitting device. The surface area of the conductive patterned circuit material layer can be greater than the surface area of the conductive patterned heat spreader layer.
In an eleventh embodiment, the present invention is a device for directing light energy comprising a transparent media with a refractive index greater than one and a concavity in the transparent media to accept at least one LED. An encapsulating media within the concavity at least partially covers at least one surface of the LED wherein the LED light emits into the transparent media through encapsulating media wherein said light energy is substantially internally reflected by the refractive index difference of the transparent media and air boundary.
The present invention provides high power LEDs and heat pipe technology which allows for ultra-high power density packaging. The ultra-high thermal conductivity of the heat pipe allows for over-driving the LEDs by a factor of 4�, while maintaining junction temperatures well within rated limits. Other attributes include low thermal resistance submount. brightness-maintaining TIR reflector, low cross-sectional area heat sink, and individually addressable high-density chip array. These attributes facilitate the ability to achieve high power densities, even without integral heat pipes, which is especially useful for those applications that do not demand ultra-high thermal performance.
The manner of bonding of the LED device to the heat pipe component as in the present invention minimizes the physical space requirements while taking advantage a pipes' unique rapid heat dissipation capabilities. This allows much more closely spaced LEDs operating at higher power and brightness. Some other features of this heat pipe packaging for LED components include rapid thermal response, variable heat flux, light weight, high reliability and requires little or no maintenance.
In one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a novel means of cooling the light emitting devices preferably at least one LED or resonant cavity LED ("RDLED") or superluminescent LED ("SLLED") or organic LED ("OLED") or flexible OLED ("FOLED") or Flip Chip LED ("FCLED"), or vertical cavity surface emitting laser ("VCSEL"). For the purpose of the invention, we will refer to the LED, however, it is to be understood that other light emitting devices mentioned or known in the art can be used as well. Wavelengths from 100 nm to 11,000 nm may be used. The most preferable wavelength range is 250 nm to 5,000 nm in the instant invention. Most preferably wavelengths from 35 nm to 900 nm are used.
Referring to
In the above discussed embodiment of
In an alternate embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an LED device wherein the LED die is mounted and/or bonded to the tip of a heat pipe, where the heat pipe may have the function of an anode or cathode in addition to its heat sinking and transport functions. This LED/heat pipe invention has broad applicability when used with UV or visible LED packages and/or individual die or combinations of each. Some of the applications include displays, specialty lighting, outdoor lighting, architectural lighting, UV lamps for curing adhesives, spectro-fluorometers, photo-catalyst activation, high resolution optics, space communication, short range optical communication, counterfeit detection, chemical detection, medical applications, teeth whitening, teeth bleaching, germ killing, erasing EPROMS, lithography, decomposing toxic substances, air purification, and countless other applications.
Referring to
In another embodiment, the device of the present invention is preferably used in architectural lighting fixtures or in UV curing applications where the heat pipes are located in different orientations wherein the hot end has the LEDs and the cold end is in a heat sink. The heat pipe in these embodiments is somewhat analogous to the function of a light pipe or lightguide except that it transports heat instead of light, and the source of light is at the output tip of the heat pipe. Also disclosed is the automobile headlight embodiment with heat pipe, reflector, LED, and heat sink. Small headlights or even tail light, dashboard, or other areas can be illuminated and the heat transported to an area that is bigger, for the heat sink. This is a remote lighting application using the heat pipe instead of a lightguide or light pipe.
In an additional aspect of the present invention, there is provided a device used to cure UV inks and coatings and adhesives. The device includes an array of large area UV (or visible) LEDs that are mounted on heat sink(s) which are cooled by an array of (circular or flat) heat pipes that are themselves cooled by one or more fans as described in detail below.
Referring to
Glass may be ion beam sputtered over the LEDs 10 for index matching purposes. Gold may be electroplated onto the copper surfaces for ease of wire bonding and die bonding. A single point, diamond-turned, fly-out pass may be made over the bonded three electrodes, 109 to create a small, flat, die-bonding surface. Lastly, a glass plate (cover slide) may be placed over emitting LEDs 10 to protect them. The glass may be hermetically seated and have a sub-wavelength structure on it for anti-reflection purposes. Also, flat plates (thinner than the top plate) can be installed to increase surface area. Preferably one or more 100 mm fans on each side of the heat pipe array cool the heat pipes in a push me-pull me arrangement. The optional flat plates can be oriented parallel to the airstream (from fan(s) or blower(s)). It is to be noted that in
The heat pipes are preferably oriented vertically so that the wicking action is enhanced by gravity. The heat pipe (or heat pipes) may have an additional bonded heat exchanger (or heat sink) with fins surrounding it (for added surface area) or it may be stand-alone (no bonded heat sinks or fins). When an array of heat pipes are employed each heat pipe essentially becomes a "pin" in a so called "pin-fin" array heat sink to dissipate thermal energy from the LEDs over a large area. The heat is taken in by the heat pipe 64 at the end where LED is placed and spread out in the entire surface area of the heat pipe which preferably is between 2-8 mm in diameter. In the preferred embodiment, the heat pipe transports the heat away from the "p-n" junction of a diode in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the junction. It must be stressed that because heat pipes can be bent in most any shape or form, it must be understood that the heat pipe could transport heat in a direction that is not substantially perpendicular to the junction. The vapor cavity in the heat pipe may have only a portion that is nearly perpendicular or nearly parallel to the "p-n" junction. Also, only a portion may be nearly perpendicular or nearly parallel to the emitted light from a light emitting device. The aforementioned word "nearly" may be substituted with "substantially" Also, the term "heat" can be used interchangeably with "waste heat", "thermal energy", etc. One or more heat pipes (arrays) cooling one or more, light emitting devices (arrays) may be of small (preferably less than 2″ square inches) or large (preferably more than 2″ square inches) dimensions thus used for a variety of medical and industrial uses such as curing adhesives or hair/wrinkle removal or teeth whitening. For curing adhesives, an apparatus similar to
The inner diameter ("ID") along the length of the heat pipes is comprised of a hollow vapor cavity 84 as shown earlier in
In an additional aspect of the present invention, there is provided a novel LED packaging scheme and process for making same which results in a very simple, inexpensive and compact package. This advantageously allows the rapid transport of thermal energy away from a high energy density heat source such as an LED chip, to a very large surface area heat sink while minimizing the size of the heat source and the frontal, cross-sectional area of the heat sink surrounding it. This fast thermal transport most preferably allows the operation of LED chip(s) at a threefold to fivefold (or more) increase in power over standard packaged chips while keeping the operating (junction) temperatures well within rated limits. Also, since brightness can be defined as the "power per solid cone angle of light," when increasing the chip power while maintaining the same cone angle, brightness is increased. This invention combines high brightness LED chips and highly effective heat pipes in a novel packaging scheme and process for making same which results, not only in the ability to operate the LEDs at unprecedented brightness, but also unprecedented cost per watt. Essentially, one chip is outputting the power of three to five chips (or more), not in the area of three to five chips, but in the area and cone angle of a single chip, with minimal heat sink area consumed around the periphery of the chip. This small frontal cross-section results in the ability to use compact and efficient lenses and reflectors that can take advantage of the chip's brightness in the most efficient, effective and space saving way possible. The devices depicted in this application may contain at least one infrared ("IR") die and the emitted light may be used for curing adhesives or coatings by heat instead of the more common UV or visible photoinitiated chemical reaction. The LEDs may be used individually or in array form with one or more heat pipes either in a unit that is hand held, fixed, or some combination of both. The present invention most preferably combines mainstream IC packaging technology, circuit board technology, and power LED technology in a novel configuration that provides solutions to a broad array of solid state lighting products. These include devices for hand held light curing, photodynamic therapy (PDT), specialty lighting and outdoor or indoor displays.
Some other applications include photocatalyst activation, spectrofluorometers, space and short range optical communication, counterfeit and chemical detection, medical, germ killing, erasing EPROMS, lithography, decomposition of toxic substances, air purification, and countless other applications. All these applications and devices advantageously utilize the primary attributes of the technology which is high brightness and power in a very compact and cost effective package. The LEDs may be used individually or in array form with one or more heat pipes either in a un it that is hand held, fixed, or some combination of both.
Referring to
The LED 10 bonded onto or near the tip of at least one heat pipe 64 simultaneously maximizes the rate of heat transfer away from the LED chip 10 and minimizes the frontal cross-sectional area of the heat sink 68 or submount or heat exchanger. The light emitting 82 from the LED junction(s) 10 preferably travels in a direction that may be substantially opposite to that of the waste heat that is transported axially down the length of the vapor cavity 84 of the heat pipe(s) 64 and away from the junction(s). The light from the device may emit into a shaped volume that is substantially opposite to a shaped volume of material which the heat is dissipated in or transported to. The plane that separates these two volumes may be the "p-n" junction plane (the transition boundary between p-type and n-type materials in a semiconductor) and/or it may be the plane that the epitaxial "p-n" junction is bonded to. Because the heat preferably is not distributed over a large radial distance, but rather a large axial distance, close spacing of LED or LED assemblies (or an array of assemblies) as well as their associated optical systems (lenses, reflectors, etc.) and heat exchangers may be spaced closely together. This results in high power LED devices and/or assemblies that are more compact, lightweight, and inexpensive to manufacture than conventional devices.
It has not been shown in the previous art to place a heat source such as a diode (or other high energy density semiconductor device) on the tip of a heat pipe because it has been considered sub-optimal. The reason for this is that it has been thought to be best practice to place the heat pipe into a larger heat sink with the heat source bonded to this heat sink so as to allow the heat sink to spread the heat around and along a larger surface area of the heat pipe. The problem with this is that there is generally more material between the heat source and the heat pipe and the heat must travel through this excess material to reach the heat pipe itself, as well as travel around the circumference of the heat pipe. Also, the heat will spread both toward and away from the cold (heat exchanger) and because the source is not at the tip of the hot end, all this imparts a great deal of thermal resistance between the heat source and the heat exchanger. Also, if a small high power density device (like a diode) is placed near the wall of the heat pipe it can "dry-out" i.e., deplete the wick structure of fluid of a localized area. By placing the die, such as a light-emitting diode 10, on the tip of the heat pipe 64, as shown in
The light from the LED 10 emits through a transparent dielectric concentrator 205. The light emission direction is shown by arrows 206. The most preferable embodiment contains one high power LED 10 on the end of the heat pipe. However, multiple LEDs to can be used at one or more cantered wavelengths, Also the LED(s) may preferably be mounted on a small heat sink or heat spreader that is in turn mounted near or on the end of the heat pipe. Multiple heat pipes may also be employed. Individual or arrays of lenses may also be employed. If the lens is a reflector it may be faceted or it may have smooth walls. It may be totally internally reflecting or it may be a metallic or dielectric coated wall or polished wall reflector.
Additionally, in another embodiment of the present invention there is provided packaged LED (or laser diode) device(s) which provide superior thermal transfer which allows operating the LEDs at a current substantially higher than manufacturer specifications and in a package substantially smaller than the current state-of-the-art. The packaged LED (or laser diode) device preferably includes at least one LED, a sub-mount, a flex (or rigid) circuit, and an optional TIR reflector. This packaged device may be affixed to a heat pipe. The device may be used as a discrete device, or with an array of similar devices. Applications include entertainment, architectural, and specialty lighting, applications in medicine (PDT), displays and projectors, and applications in adhesive curing, as well as countless other applications.
Note how the pins(s) 237 protrude from both the top and bottom of ring 236. The portion of the pins can go into the holes in ring 232 of
In an additional embodiment, there is shown LED packages according to the invention manufactured and assembled using Printed Circuit Board (PCB) techniques described herein. Referring to

All the devices in this patent application can be used with blue (465 nm) light to activate photo initiators common in dental initiators. Or other chromophors or sensitizers may be employed in curing adhesives or composites or other substances, as well as used in devices that may or may not contain light sensitizers, chromophors, or photoinitiators. The devices of the present invention may be used in conjunction with a variety of different compositions which are curable using electromagnetic radiation, as described herein. For example, compositions which harden or crosslink to form coatings, sealants, adhesives or articles of manufacture may be subjected to radiation emitted from the inventive devices to effectuate hardening or polymerizing. A wide variety of materials and compositions may be employed. For example, compositions including polyolefins, acrylates, epoxies, urethanes, polyesters, acrylimides, cyanoacrylates, silicones, polyamides, polyimides, polyvinyl compounds, latex compounds, among others, may be cured using radiation emitted from the present inventive device. These compounds rely on a variety of different chemical mechanisms to harden or polymerize. Generally, the ability to polymerize using light radiation, includes the use of compounds or complexes, which initiate or induce or otherwise accelerate the polymerization process. Frequently, one or more of these additional compounds, usually referred to as photoinitiators, photosensitizers or chromophors, are added to the polymerizable material to enhance both the speed and/or thoroughness of the cure.
The preferred embodiments described herein are intended in an illustrative rather than a limiting sense. The true scope of the invention is set forth in the claims appended hereto.

We blush
I just wanted to thank you for a really terrific, thought-provoking issue. I loved that you tackled the East-West thing ["East vs. West: Get Over It!"]. My husband, originally from South Carolina, is totally baffled by this and it's wonderful to see it explored in depth.
I also liked the "attitude" of this issue — it seems punchy and opinionated to me, and rightly so.I personally appreciate your pointing out the disconnect with "moral values" in the latest election (it's all right for poor black children to go uneducated, as long as gay couples are not allowed to marry) and highlighting the similarities between what Japanese-Americans went through during World War II and what's happening these days with the Patriot Act. These are important subjects and deserve to be explored.
I grew up in Cleveland and after living for 15 years in NYC and its suburbs, came home to raise my family. I love it here but am often dismayed at the close-mindedness of my neighbors, who seem to assume that everyone lives and sees the world as they do (that is, the life of the white, middle-class, Christian heterosexual family) … and if they don't, they should.

Points of disagreement
As an unemployed writer who saw his last permanent job fly off to India in June 2003, I was appalled to read editor Steve Gleydura's characterization of the loss of more than 100,000 jobs in Northeast Ohio since 2000 as being akin to a "blemish" ["The Real Battle Is Ahead," December 2004].
A blemish? The enormous hemorrhaging of jobs in our body politic calls for tourniquets — not Clearasil.
Gleydura's insensitivity and obvious lack of empathy for the unemployed reveals he was writing from the perspective of one who has been securely ensconced in a permanent job for several years.
Louis H. PumphreyShaker Heights
With regard to Steve Gleydura's column in the December issue, I have several observations.
I don't live in the city of Cleveland, so I didn't vote on the school issue, but I can see why it was defeated. The Cleveland School Board already has a budget of $670 million, yet the board was asking for an increase exceeding 10 percent. How much is enough? Had the levy passed, the spending on schools would be well on its way to $1 billion.
What is missing here is a reality check. The more money you throw at the educational establishment, the more they will devour with no discernible benefit. The biggest benefactors of school leviesare administrators, teachers, custodians, union craft trades, bus drivers,vendors and just about anybody but the students.
The state's funding formula was found to be unconstitutional, but it was deemed so by activist judges who bring their own social agenda to the bench. Having schools funded by local property taxes voted on in the district is the fairest and most voter-responsivesystem there is. It is the only system that ensures fiscal prudence. It worked for 200 years and now, all of a sudden, it is deemed to be "unfair."
Ohio has accounted for about a third of all jobs lost since 2000. Yet the Pacific Research Institute's U.S. Economic Freedom Index, whichrates how conducive a state's taxes and regulatory climateare to conductingbusiness, ranks Ohio 43rd out of 50 states in terms of overall economic freedom. Despitethe tax incentives granted to major corporations to remain or expand in Ohio, our state just isn't a good place to do business, and that is hard to pin on bad moves being made by voters. Any politician trying to create a goodeconomic climate is accused of caving in to "big business."
Finally, with regard to Issue 1, how do you come by the assumption that the people whom it is "pushing" away are creative and talented? Most of the people writing letters to the editor saying they now find Ohio an unwelcome placeand claiming to be creative and talented types have bestowed that compliment upon themselves. There is no evidence that they are, in fact, truly more creative or talented than the population as a whole.

One degree of separation
Imagine my surprise when I saw the December issue and the story on Beverly ["On the (Cold) Case"]. I immediately sent a copy to my sister in Perrysburg. Why am I so interested? My grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Mihal, lived at 11301 Linnet Ave. We were living with them until my parents could afford their own home (this was the '50s). My sister, Jeanette, was supposed to go with Beverly early in the evening but she was not finished with dinner, so Beverly went without her. Jeanette and I went about 20 minutes later. I was only 5 1/2 and my sister 7, but I still remember the police interviewing us as we sat on the piano bench in the living room. I will be most interested when the book comes out as well as the PBS version.

Hackles raised
I'd like to express my disappointment at seeing the cover model in your December issue wearing a mink-trimmed jacket. With such widespread awareness about the cruelty behind fur coats and trim, I find it unconscionable that your magazine views fur as an appropriate fashion statement.
Please consider making it a policy to no longer do business with stores that sell fur and show that your magazine is capable of making compassion one of its priorities. Until that time, cancel my subscription.

Jingeling memories
What pure joy it was to read the article about Mr. Jingeling
[" 'Jingeling' All the Way," December 2004]. He was and always will be the Christmas icon of my childhood. It was with anticipation that I patiently waited for Capt. Penny to bring Mr. Jingeling and the Play Lady on each afternoon. I, too, can sing the entire Mr. Jingeling song, which I now sing to my grandsons, who breakinto giggles!
I remember so clearly the day my mother, grandmother and I took the bus from Painesville to Cleveland so that I could go to "Halle's seventh floor." I was more excited to see Mr. Jingeling than Santa! I was so disappointed because he was not the "real" Mr. Jingeling, but I did get a cardboard "key."
Thank you and thanks, Mr. Jingeling, for the treasured memories!

Mey: "Dessi, those are drinkin glasses; go back and get some seein glasses."
Often I see patients that say they can't wear contacts any more due to irritation. In fact, this is one of the most common reasons for contact lens discontinuance nationwide, if not the world.
The causes are varied, but often have some similarities. First, and possibly foremost, is the over wear of contacts. People assume that a two-week soft lens is good for a month or so be...

Jason Garrett got a vote of confidence from Jerry Jones, and that means now he must bow down and listen to everything Jones wants.
There is a battle going on in Dallas over play calling duties, and you know Garrett will lose because Jones always gets what he wants, except a Super Bowl.
Bill Callahan acts as both the offensive coordinator and the offensive line coach but does not call plays.
Bringing in a new offensive coordinator who would call the plays instead of Garrett is what Jones wants, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.

It is not unheard of that living right goes hand in hand with eating right. Some would say that what you feed your body food wise is just as important as what you feed your body spiritually. Recently I have gone back to my vegetarian regimen because I feel that it goes in line with my Meditations and Christian practices. I also believe that what we put in our bodies has a great effect on the type of lives that we live because food is the reason and cause for so many diseases today. I feel it necessary to eat in a way that lines up with what I believe spiritually because I want to enjoy this life I have been given. In order to live good we have to eat good.
Some may feel that what you eat has little to do with spirituality, but try telling that to those of Muslim religion or other religions that believe that it is wrong or bad to consume certain foods. Since I have changed my regimen I feel that I am more focused during my spiritual practices. Lots of Christians and other religions fast in order to get in line with what they believe spiritually or to seek spiritual guidance. What we put in our bodies is very important. Eating in a way that helps us get in line spiritually is definitely worth a try.
Atlanta has so many different food venues that it is not hard to find something that fits your regimen or lifestyle. Recently I have found a café that was founded on Buddhist principals which I am currently practicing, the name of the café is World Peace Café. World Peace Café is located at 220 Hammond Dr. Suite 302 in Sandy Springs Georgia, World Peace is primarily staffed by people of Buddhist faith; most of its workers are volunteers from the Rameshori Buddhist Center. The café serves vegetarian cuisine that is delicious and is organic as well as locally grown; the café prides itself on being a place that offers loving kindness and respect for all beings which are Buddhist principals. World Peace believes that through developing world peace in the mind that the necessary factors for world peace will be developed, the proceeds from the café supports the Rameshori Buddhist Center's efforts to bring world peace.
I felt that World Peace Café was a very peaceful and relaxing atmosphere and I recommend it to anyone that is interested in learning more about Buddhist philosophies and principals. The café offers a touching look into the lives of Buddhist; it gave me a better sense of what I am hoping to gain through my own meditative practices. Though I am not of Buddhist faith I believe their principals go hand and hand with what I believe as a Christian. World Peace strives to develop peace for the world that we live in and the proceeds go to support just that, stop by or volunteer but the experience of visiting is definitely rewarding.
World Peace offers relaxation meditations and engaging discussions with American Buddhist monk Gen Kelsang Mondrub followed by dinner and dessert, every Thursday @ 7pm. Volunteers that are interested in helping out at World Peace Café should contact them today at email@example.com or call (404)256-2100

These treats go way beyond the basic stinky stogie. We're thinking they'd make a cool housewarming gift, a good yes-it's-a-baby-now-let's-not-blow-smoke-in-its-face favor, or a yummy addition to a scoop of premium ice cream for dessert. Nom nom.

Looking for a good co-op game (part two)
Last year I posted a thread asking for recommendations in finding a good co-op game. Having once exhausted these options, I'll ask again. Anyone know of a good co-op game?
Already played through Diablo 2 multiple times

I found a list here: Speedwaystar's PC Coop Game List. Is this the sort of suggestions you are looking for? I prefer the Diablo series and Wolf ET stopwatch mode.

A couple of new ones that I have played co-op. Sacred 2, Red Alert 3 (the best co-op campaign implimentation I have seen in a RTS, pity the Games for Microsoft system is a bit painful to get the person invited into the game. What is wrong with a straight LAN option?), Call of Duty 5 - World at War (FPS, play the full campaign co-op). and Left 4 Dead.

Thanks for the link Fate, I might try a few of those games, but it looks like they stopped updating in 2004.
BlackIce. First of all, HI! Second of all, how far did you get in Sacred 2? We just bought it and haven't really made it past lvl 3 for boredom. Does it get better/more interesting?

Can play Civ4 in Co-op mode too... I've been getting into it a bit that way, and it's pretty cool. Turn based, so there's no hurry, and there are several options on how to go about multi-play - co-op being just one of them. Very very good game.

I quite enjoyed Army of Two on the Xbox 360... if you have one :P The game was designed around coop. Gears of War on PC or 360 is another good one.
Lord of the Rings Conquest you can play coop, however the game is questionable :P Saints Row 2 apparently has decent coop as well but I haven't played it yet.
You could also go old school and run through Doom or Quake 1 & 2. Grab the mods for Doom that let you use WSAD & mouse and you will find its actually quite a challenge (especially Doom II). Kids have it easy these days!
Sacred is a good cheap alternative, which is a half decent Diablo clone.
edit: I just realised you probably were after a strategy/RPG game :P

Supposedly the new Dawn of War II is a co-op game, however, I just downloaded it via Direct 2 drive and I'm now very sorry that I did. Runs terrible on a good system, loves to lock up and/or crash, and requires BOTH Steam and Windows Live (which naturally is not noted on the D2D site). In addition, if you go to the relic forums asking for help they will tell you to read the manual, which is not included with the download.
However, if you have a couple of spare Cray supercomputers lying about and are the kind that prefers troubleshooting to actually playing it might be a good option.

Left 4 Dead is a great coop game (FPS), and it doesn't really get old. It's not much good with pubbers, but with the large tog group that rarely happens.
DOW2 is coop, and it's a great game. Just don't buy it on Direct2Drive.. best just to grab straight from Steam, since it needs steam authentication anyway. Make sure you have enough of a download limit to get it though (4gb from memory)

California-based Pacific Organic Produce announces historic arrival of organic Red Globe grapes from Peru. According to founder Greg Holzman, "The grapes are a seeded variety; the size and flavor are all really excellent. We're very excited. To the best of my knowledge these are the first organic grapes to arrive from South America ever."
Historically, the South African grapes (35 day transit) were the only organic grapes to hit the U.S. shores during this period, but now Peru offers a great alternative (less than 3 weeks transit).
According to Holzman, "the U.S. fumigates grapes from Chile, the main supplier of winter grapes, so acquiring organic grapes has been a project of mine for many years. I actually helped start a bio-pesticide business in Brazil for the purpose of developing an organic grape supply. Unfortunately, there were too many issues in Brazil so I went to Peru to continue the search; as the U.S. was opening its doors to Peru it looked like the right step."
Pacific Organic is happy to report strong arrivals on both coasts, with 30,000-35,000 4.5k cases available to ship through mid-March.

"Days of Our Lives" spoilers for May sweeps have been released, and it looks like someone is going to die, Hollywood News Daily reported on April 24.
According to the report, someone will be shot and killed in Salem the week of May 5, which is coincides with sweeps, one of the biggest events in television, where fans know shows will be bringing their A-games.
While it hasn't been announced who will be the shooter or the victim, there are theories that Gabi could be the one to get shot and killed, as the actress who plays the role has left the show, and seemingly not been recast.
Meanwhile, if Gabi is the victim, there are plenty of people who could be the killer. Sami and Kate both have reasons to want Gabi gone from their lives after she landed them in hot water for helping her dump Nick's seemingly dead body in the river.
Meanwhile, Nick seems like the main suspect as he's been unstable since returning to Salem, and has attacked Gabi in the past.
However, the "Days of Our Lives" murder could also be an accident, and any number of people could wind up pulling the trigger, such as Gabi's baby daddy, Will, or his husband, Sonny, if there were to be a struggle over a gun, perhaps.
Fans can't wait to see how it all goes down next month.
What do you think about someone being killed on "Days of Our Lives" during May sweeps?

I-5 Skagit River Bridge
Proposal Upload
PacTrans Special Call for White Papers due Jun 14, 2013
An Interstate 5 (I-5) bridge collapsed into the Skagit River at around 7 p.m. PDT on May 23, 2013, causing major transportation disruptions near Mount Vernon, Washington. Considering that I-5 is a major corridor along the west coast, carrying as much as $14 billion freight annually to and from Canada, the impact of this disruption is far reaching. This tragedy generates losses in both property and the economy, but it also offers an opportunity for collecting perishable data for transportation research.
This special call, based on funds from WSDOT and PacTrans will provide a combined total of $40K (this includes fringe & benefits) to fund a research project addressing the collapse of the Skagit River Bridge on I-5. Information on the circumstances surrounding the collapse can be found at:
Given the immediacy of the situation, we are soliciting short white papers (no more than one page) on research topics that address issues related to the bridge collapse. Topics of interest are listed below but others will be considered.
- Analysis of the use of the emergency accelerated design build contracts
- Opportunities to expedite NTSB forensics while maintaining quality
- Synthesis of corrective actions/replacement
- Adaptation of bridge to severe climate changes
The white papers are due Friday, Jun 14, 2013 and should clearly identify the following:
- Specific research question
- Tasks to be completed
- Implications of the findings to address future issues in this area.
All work needs to be completed in approximately 6 months and should be summarized in a technical note.
WSDOT will review all proposal ideas and announce the award by the end of June.
For additional information, please contact Linda Boyle (206-616-0245, email@example.com) or Kim Willoughby (360-705-7978, email@example.com).

UK: HTC Flyer now on pre-order at Carphone Warehouse for £599.99, ships in May
The HTC Flyer is HTC's first Android-powered tablet, and a rather unique proposition in the tablet world, with its smaller-than-the-2011-standard screen and capacitive stylus. It's also not running Android 3.0 Honeycomb, albeit it is running a heavily tablet-optimized version of HTC's own Sense UI, so the average user probably won't notice the tablet is running an OS version made for phones.
The Flyer was announced back at Mobile World Congress in February, and since then we've seen it go up for pre-order in the UK via third party independent electronics retailer Clove. Its asking price was £599.99, and the projected shipping date was mid-April.
While Clove still offers the Flyer with the same terms, today a more well-known UK retailer has also started taking pre-orders for the HTC tablet. Carphone Warehouse also asks the same £599.99 for the tablet, so it looks like this is the recommended retail price for this device in the UK. A glitch in Carphone Warehouse's site is showing the Flyer as being in stock, but the retailer has told SlashGear that the HTC tablet will only start shipping sometime in May.
Now if Clove sticks to that mid-April release date (and so far it has), and you can't wait to get your hands on the HTC Flyer, it's probably better to pre-order at Clove. If for whatever reason you'd rather do business with Carphone Warehouse, then head on over there and click that magic button.

So, just to be clear...
There's no association, whatsoever, with this product and the 'IRA'? And that it contains none of their remote-controlling intellectual property?
I'll get me coat, and me knee-caps.
Infrared remotes are easily taken for granted for controlling the TV from the couch, but with the Keene IRAnywhere system, you can take channel hopping to the next level. Ever wanted to change the channel from across international borders? For long-distance disciplinarian dads, the possibilities for family fun are endless. …
There's no association, whatsoever, with this product and the 'IRA'? And that it contains none of their remote-controlling intellectual property?
I'll get me coat, and me knee-caps.
I'm glad it's not just me that thought that.
A bit.
a godsend to those who have FTP boxes in their home countries linked to a PVR enabled HTPC.
Those people typically have a PVR solution with web-interface and streaming, like for example VDR.
Sounds ideal for controlling the projector in my living room which is plugged into the PC in my bedroom - only not for a hundred nicker. A few cunningly angled mirrors might be a more cost effective solution.
you can get a wireless AV transmitter reciever with remote support
IRAnywhere? Really? You guys didn't think about that at all did you...
Think I might install one of these next time I have to go to %incompetent-relative% house to plug their router back in or show them how to double click again, I can foresee much random remote remote fun.
But a bit pricey.
However I suspect quite a lot of peopel will discover all sorts of odd uses for it.
It maybe neat, but is totally pointless
I can see the appeal. I store my HTPC in a box in the living room that is ventilated and sound proofed. I currently run the IR dongle via USB out of the box. Now I would love to put all my other AV equipment inside this soundproofed ventilated box but the remotes stop me from doing so. I have tried the wireless remote senders but these things generally only come with a few channels and disrupt my wireless kit (not many free channels near me - im naughtily using a japanese frequency)
If this was only £30 then i'd bite
I've had good results with a similar product,
Combined with a suitable WebApp on a iPod Touch, you can have a very neat remote control system.
It looks a bit like a solution waiting for a problem, y'know?
I could easily make up scenarios which it could solve, but I'd probably also re-think the problem to negate needing one of these. For a tenner, nice, I'd get one to play with, but for a ton, I can't justify it :-(

The Nissan Almera is a new offering that will be built in Russia and feature attributes that, according to Nissan, "meet the unique demands of the Russian market." What exactly does that mean? The Almera features raised ground clearance (just check out the gaps in the wheel wells), special anti-corrosion treatment for the chrome bits and added production for the underbody.

Some invasive species could be unjustly maligned.
A new study, published in Acta Oecologia, says many of the most damning claims about invaders are not backed up with hard evidence. This might be skewing priorities when it comes to dealing with them.
'Some invasive species are possibly getting a harder time than they deserve,' says Claire McLaughlan, a NERC-funded PhD student at the University of Cambridge, who led the study.
'It's an emotive subject but it needs to be looked at in a balanced way. For many of the species in the list of Europe's top ten worst invaders, we could find little evidence of their reported effects in the literature.'
'If this is the literature behind the worst species, then what is the evidence like for others?'
There are thought to be more than 12,000 non-native species in Europe. Having evolved under different competitive pressures, some can quickly overwhelm their new ecosystems and become invasive.
If this is the literature behind the worst species, then what is the evidence like for others? Claire McLaughlan, University of Cambridge
These invaders can wreak havoc, out-competing their native neighbours and damaging the many economic, cultural and health benefits of nature, known as ecosystem services.
Several projects have been launched to tackle invasive species and protect those services, but there is only so much money available. To help prioritise spending, a group of European scientists put together a list of the 10 most damaging invasive species in Europe.
Sika deer, Canada geese and zebra mussels all made the list, but McLaughlan and her team wanted to examine the evidence behind it.
They found that the damaging effects of invaders are often assumed, rather than based on hard evidence. Some invasions, particularly those in environments which are already severely damaged, could even enhance ecosystem services.
'It's context-dependant,' explains McLaughlan. 'For example, with the zebra mussel, if they were to invade a stream full of rare, native species, they would obviously be very damaging.'
'But if they were to become established in a large man-made reservoir with very few species and an algae problem, they could help to process the algae and improve some ecosystem services.'
'We're not for a moment suggesting that you should introduce invasive species anywhere; prevention is always better than cure.'
'But with the species that are already there, there's only limited money available and we need new ways to prioritise which species we tackle. That has to be based on the evidence of their effects.'
McLaughlan's PhD research focusses on the invasive zebra mussel and its effects on the ecosystem services of UK reservoirs.
McLaughlan C, Gallardo B, Aldridge DC, 'How complete is our knowledge of ecosystem services impacts of Europe's top 10 invasive species?,' Acta Oecologia, 2013, DOI: 10.1016/j.actao.2013.03.005

Having just been stung by the B.hypnorum and seeing that it can steal nests from our native birds, not only is it successfully colonising the UK, it is now doing the same in Iceland. Will it become an invasive species.... will it endanger our wildlife, humans or outcompete some species....You may find this article re above interesting....
George Pilkington, Warrington

In response to George above; That species has naturally expanded its range into the UK. This means it is generally not regarded as an invasive species, which are artificially introduced by humans. I understand that they use bird nest boxes to create their nest, but I have never heard of them stealing actively used nest boxes. It is likely that as the bird species' ranges and bumblebee's ranges overlap in Europe that there will be some form of behavioural adaption to this.

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star NeNe Leakes has been very strict when it comes to her friends. She often feels that women are just friends with her because they want to take advantage of her fame in Hollywood, but some of her co-stars just want to be friends for NeNe. And it sounds like she is questioning her friendship with Marlo. According to a new Radar Online report published on Feb. 24, "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star NeNe Leakes and Marlo Hampton's friendship seems to have suffered after Marlo started hanging out with Kenya.
During a games competition that Cynthia Bailey had put together for the women, Marlo ended up throwing a water bottle towards NeNe as she was walking away. "Kenya mean that much to you?!" Marlo shouted at a retreating NeNe. "You're that insecure? You're rich! What the f***! You're a person I looked up to! You're a mother. You're older than me! You don't know what a friend is, b****!" But NeNe wasn't about to talk to her face-to-face.
Instead, NeNe talked to the cameras, saying, "It's disappointing when you've been a friend to somebody and it's not reciprocated. I'm not the kind of person that somebody can just come in and take advantage of." Marlo was upset with NeNe, saying, "I'm not speaking at all to her." And Kenya seemed to think that it was all very stupid and silly. "I really hope the reason that NeNe and Marlo are fighting is NOT because NeNe is jealous of my friendship with Marlo. I mean, really? How old are we?" Kenya asked.
It sounds like these two are no longer friends, since NeNe could not handle seeing Kenya and Marlo together. What do you think of this episode?

|WBB rally comes up short
MOSCOW, Idaho – University of Idaho women's basketball fell behind early on and saw its second-half rally come up short in a 71-50 home loss to Montana on Sunday at Memorial Gym.
The Vandal women (0-4) suffered a frustrating first half in which they shot just 28 percent and turned the ball over eight times and trailed by 16 at the break to Montana (2-1), which shot above 50 percent in the first period and capitalized on Vandal errors.
After falling behind by 20, 51-31 at 11:42 of the second half, Idaho rattled off a 10-0 scoring run with eight points from sophomore guard Stacey Barr. The Vandal women stuck around within 10-13 points, but a few Montana putbacks and close-range Idaho misses suddenly re-created the separation and Idaho didn't recover.
Idaho head coach Jon Newlee said he was glad to see his team respond with the second-half run, but that a few little mistakes slowed the momentum and ended the comeback bid.
"I think that was a great run, and then we came back and missed a couple chippies and gave up a couple of o-boards and all of a sudden, it got pushed back to 16," Newlee said. "We've got to be able to sustain that kind of effort and that intensity throughout the game, not just in stretches – we've got to have a fighting spirit for 40 minutes, not just when things are going our way."
Barr led Idaho with 10 points, all in the second half, while junior wing Alyssa Charlston added nine and sophomore guard Krissy Karr contributed seven.
As a team, Idaho shot just 27.5 percent from the floor and 27.3 percent from the 3-point line, while Montana was 40.9 overall and 30.8 percent from behind the arc. Idaho converted 16 of its 23 free throw attempts for a 69.6 percent clip, while Montana went 13-of-18 (.722).
The taller Montana squad held a 48-35 rebounding margin, including several key second-half offensive boards – and 16 total in the game – to finish with a 16-7 margin on second-chance points. UM also added 16 points off turnovers and outscored Idaho in in the paint, 32-8.
Newlee said he expected the Lady Griz to be physical, especially in the paint, and that he was disappointed that after a few blocked shots and bumps down low, Idaho went up tentatively and didn't finish its close-range shot attempts.
"It's a physical basketball game," Newlee said. "If they block your shot or if they hit you and there's no call, you've still got to go up strong the next time and I thought we backed down when they got physical with us. Teams are going to do that until we respond and we're able to go up strong and finish at the rim or get to the line and knock down some foul shots."
Montana built its early edge midway through the first half. A 7-0 UM run started after a pair of Janelle Weiss free throws had pulled Idaho within three at 17-14 with 11:15 to play in the half. The Griz increased their lead to 10, 24-14, and then steadily increased.
Newlee said that the Montana scoring run was frustrating on its own, but the way it happened caused the most frustration.
Idaho missed open looks from all over the court and then on the flip side, Montana hit its open looks, as well as several contested, off-balance attempts late in the shot clock. UM's Torry Hill capped off the first period with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to give the Griz a 39-23 halftime edge.
"They were just throwing stuff at the end of the shot clock and it was going in, then we had our open looks – layups and threes – that we're not hitting," Newlee said. "When you take that combination, it's brutal. You can just sense the momentum going as that's happening."
Hill led Montana with 19 points and three assists, while Katie Baker added 14 points, nine boards and three blocks. Kenzie De Boer scored 11 points for the Griz. UM added 14 steals in the game and blocked five shots.
With nine days before their next contest, a home matchup against Eastern Washington on Tuesday, Nov. 27, the key for the Vandal women is to rest up, revisit some key areas and to continue the young team's growth.
"The break comes at a good time for us right now, both mentally and physically," Newlee said. "We can get some of our sick people back, get some people healed up and have a great week of practice by the time we face Eastern."

FT RECORD HOLDER... Despite missing his first free throw attempt at Missouri, Cory Higgins holds the Big 12 and Colorado school record with 45-consecutive made free throws. After his miss at Mizzou, Higgins started a new streak by making his next six in a row. In his last 10 games, he's 59-of-62 (.952) from the stripe. The previous mark for consecutive makes was 39 (Joey Graham, OSU, 2004-05). The CU record was 39, Rob Gonzalez, Jan. 10-Feb. 26, 1983 (13 games).
QUICK LOOK AT KU... KU enters today's game with a 12-4 record and 1-0 in Big 12 play after defeating Kansas State, 87-71, Tuesday in Lawrence. The Jayhawks are not nationally ranked. The last time KU was not ranked playing in Boulder was Jan. 11, 2006. Kansas didn't get ranked that season until Feb. 14, 2006. KU has seven players averaging over 18 or more minutes and Sherron Collins has led KU in scoring 11 times.

LAST GAME RECAP... Missouri shot 63.3 percent from the field, placed six players in double-digits and capitalized on 26 CU turnovers into 30 points for a 107-62 home win on Wednesday. Freshman reserve guard Ryan Kelley led all scorers with 19 points with Dwight Thorne and Cory Higgins adding 13 and 12 points, respectively. Higgins also tied a career-best five steals.
Work in progress... Although Coach Bzdelik and his team have had their ups and downs in his second year (8-7) and with the tough conference season ahead, let's take a look at three of the school's all-time winningest coaches in football, men's and women's basketball in their second season.
Football: Bill McCartney, 13 seasons (1982-1994), 93-55-5 (.624): 4-7 in second year.
Men's BB: Sox Walseth, 20 seasons (1957-76), 261-245 (.516): 8-15 in second year.
Women's BB: Ceal Barry, 22 seasons (1983-2005), 427-242 (.638), 6-22 in second year.
30+ MINUTE MEN... Only four CU players have played 30+ minutes of each game. Cory Higgins has played 30+ minutes in 14 of 15 games; Nate Tomlinson 11 of 14 games (missed a game due to injury); Austin Dufault in 10 of 15, and Dwight Thorne II nine of 15 games.
FALL 2008 SEMESTER... The CU men have nine student-athletes with a 2.9 grade point average or higher. The team also has five student-athletes with a 3.0 or better G.P.A. (Trent Beckley, Austin Dufault, Trey Eckloff, Levi Knutson, Andrew Zehnder).
BROADCAST... The Colorado men's basketball team can be heard live on KKZN AM 760. Mark Johnson and Charles Johnson call the action including the pre- and postgame. Live internet audio of all CU basketball games is available through Yahoo! Sports. Colorado's games will also be streamed live on CUBuffs.com through the BuffsTV subscription service.
BUFF BITS... CU is shooting 82.4 percent (89-of-108) from the free throw line over the past six outings. Eight of 11 players who have gone to the stripe during that time are hitting at 72.7 percent or better Ģ CU has made a 3-pointer in 210-straight games dating back to the 2001-02 season Ģ CU has used the same starting line up for nine straight games (Tomlinson, Higgins, Dufault, Thorne II, Jackson-Wilson) Ģ Dufault, Higgins, Thorne II have started all 15 games Ģ For the third straight game (Western State, SMU, at Missouri), CU failed to record a blocked shot in a game, that's never happened before. The 1977-78 season was the first season blocks were kept track of.
CU NATIONALLY... Before this week's play began, Cory Higgins ranked among the nation's elite players in three categories, while the CU team ranks 19th in field goal percentage (.487).
68) Cory Higgins 84.0 Free Throw %
75) Cory Higgins 53.2 Field Goal %
81) Cory Higgins 17.9 points per game
RAINBOW CLASSIC RECAP... CU went 1-2 over the three days with its lone win coming on the opening day against Coppin State. CU sophomore Cory Higgins was named to the All-Tournament team leading the Buffaloes in scoring in every game and averaging 18 points a game. He also recorded his first career double-double (21 pts., 10 rebs.) against Coppin State. CU averaged 66.3 ppg., shot .489 from the field (69-of-141) with an impressive .852 from the free throw line (46-of-54). All-Tournament Team: Cory Higgins, Colorado; Calvin Betts, Buffalo; Roderick Flemings, Hawaiæi; Mike Trimboli, Vermont; Marcus Walker, Colorado State; Andy Robinson, Buffalo (MVP).
BB HOMECOMING... On Jan. 23 and 24, the men's basketball team is sponsoring a Homecoming Weekend for former CU alums. Last season, Coach Bzdelik started this tradition in the hopes of bringing back former alumni and honor those who have played for past Buffalo teams. On Friday, a reception from 6-9 p.m. will be held at the Broker Inn, and on Saturday former players will meet two hours before tip at the Events Center. C-Club director Bill Harris and former Buff Scott Wilke are in the process of notifying alums; for more information, contact Bill at 303-492-5065 or at firstname.lastname@example.com or Scott at firstname.lastname@example.com. Alums will also have the opportunity to tour the newly refurbished lockerroom and weight room at the Coors Events Center, and will then join the Buff Club for pregame on the second level at 2:30 pm.

August 26, 2004: Vacationing at the Walt Disney World Resort in
Lake Buena Vista, Fla. this week, pop star Janet Jackson and
rapper/producer/songwriter Jermaine Dupri took time out from their
theme park fun today to meet Mickey Mouse himself. In the shadow of
the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at the Disney-MGM Studios, the
musical pair met the "Big Cheese." A little souvenir of their
meeting — a classic Mickey Mouse plush from "Steamboat Willie."
Afterwards, the pair rode the Tower of Terror, a 13-story thrill
ride that features multiple drops inside a haunted hotel elevator.(In Jan. 2008, Disney-MGM Studios was renamed Disney's Hollywood Studios.)

Lovely cruise down the Potomac River at sunset. The upper deck was nicely decorated with some fake palm trees that gave it a nice island atmosphere and the view spectacular. The kicker was the number of people allowed on the upper deck is 34 and if you go downstairs to grab a drink, you were not allowed to get back on to join your friends (ridiculous)! There needs to be a better way to manage this. The DJ downstairs "ROCK" and the music was peppy that caused the dance floor to fill up. Had a great time except for that stupid upper deck rule!

I had a great time meeting people and enjoying a relaxing ride around the Potomac. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 due to the limited number of people allowed on the top deck thus separating people from the/their group. I will go again.

Bubble Nutmeg Shell, Trigonostoma bullatum: The Bubble Nutmeg Shell is a member of the Cancellanidae Family all of which have cancellate sculpture (i.e. lattice work) on some part of their shells.
Within the column there are a few strong folds, the aperture is moderately large, and the anterior canal is short. Due to a unique complex radula they are believed to feed on soft-bodied microorganisms. They are primarily deep water species and therefore they are poorly studied and knowledge about their biology is virtually nonexistent.
The Bubble Nutmeg Shell is inflated with low ridges and blunt nodes. The color of the shell varies from whitish tinged with brown to brown (as pictured below).
The maximum length of this shell in the literature is 3.0 cm by 2.5 cm; the shell below is significantly larger than these published sizes.
In Mexico, they are found within the confines of the Sea of Cortez and along the coast of the mainland south to Guatemala at depths between 100 and 250 feet.
They are obtained as a by-catch of deep water shrimp trawlers. They are sold commercially with a limited (presumably due to rarity) internet trade.
