Behind Closed Doors
Junior Comes Out Perfect
By Philip Kitcher
Published: September 29, 1996
The pace and extent of the genetic revolution makes it tempting to speculate about life at the end of the 21st century. Will sex become completely recreational, with the serious business of reproduction going on in carefully monitored tubes? Will the main form of medical treatment consist of gene therapy, designed to replace defective DNA at the squeeze of a syringe?
Probably not. Doubtless in the decades to come gene therapy will become more exact, but unless numerous difficult problems are solved, the possibility of precisely engineering people who carry mutant genes into people who are genetically normal is minute. Yet our understanding of the genetics of human disease does promise to transform medical practice. One hundred years from now, we shall know the molecular structures of virtually all human genes, the functions of a significant percentage of them and the molecular mechanisms at work in a large number of human afflictions. Fantasies aside, the chief novelty of late-21st-century medicine will lie in its powerful ability to predict and prevent.
Disease, it should be remembered, even hereditary disease, does not always have to be treated by replacing genes. A proper understanding of how a particular genetic mutation leads to illness or disability can sometimes provide clues about how to put it right, through dietary modifications, medicines or surgery. Looking into the next century, we can foresee a continuum of cases. At one extreme are the diseases for which genetic knowledge will lead to successful treatment. Many biomedical researchers draw inspiration from the case of phenylketonuria, or PKU. Children with PKU carry genes that render them unable to metabolize the amino acid phenylalanine. Left untreated, they build up large amounts of phenylalanine in their cells (and lack sufficient amounts of another amino acid, tyrosine) and become severely mentally retarded. By testing a baby just after birth, however, a doctor can prescribe a diet low in phenylalanine and high in tyrosine that enables an afflicted child to develop normally.
At the opposite pole are diseases that, despite enormous molecular insight, we are at a loss to treat. For example, the structure of the crucial protein implicated in sickle-cell anemia has been known for decades, but for almost 40 years (at least), that knowledge inspired no significant improvements in treatment. In between lie diseases like cystic fibrosis, where scientists have made some progress but so far have not achieved total success. Investing in molecular genetic research today is like buying tickets in a huge number of lotteries: we would be exceptionally unfortunate not to win the jackpot in some, but we cannot tell in advance how many prizes we will obtain or exactly what they will be.
Given the trajectory of genetic technology, it is fairly easy to envisage what a visit to the doctor may be like in 2096. The patient, let's call her Baby K, has her first checkup when she is an 8-week old fetus. A technician removes a few fetal cells. Several days later, interviews with the doctor and a genetic counselor provide a detailed picture: a 250-page printout sums up information about the DNA at 50,000 regions of the fetal chromosomes -- all those regions whose functions in human development are at last understood.
The first pages of the printout are devoted to rare but dreadful disruptions of early development. To their relief, the parents of Baby K learn that she will not suffer tragic neural diseases like Tay-Sachs, neurofibromatosis or Lesch-Nyhan syndrome: at the genetic loci affecting these and hundreds of less familiar diseases, the sequences in the fetal DNA are reassuringly normal. With luck, more common genetic diseases -- cystic fibrosis and fragile X syndrome -- are also ruled out. Baby K's susceptibility to the major diseases that develop later in life, which depend on numerous environmental variables, is described in probabilistic terms: it turns out she is at average or at low risk for the vast majority of diseases, the principal exceptions being juvenile diabetes and a form of breast cancer that usually develops late in middle age. Fortunately, the molecular underpinnings of these diseases are well understood by the 21st century; by making mild changes in Mrs. K's diet before she gives birth and prescribing medicine to Baby K in early childhood, doctors can reduce Baby K's risk of diabetes to the normal range. As she grows into early adulthood, she will be well advised to receive regular breast-tissue checks.
The printout continues with a detailed preview of Baby K's immune system. The sequencing of bacterial and viral genomes began in the 1990's and will be elaborated on a grand scale in the coming decades. The resultant knowledge, combined with enhanced understanding of the workings of the immune system, will surely offer doctors in 2096 new clues for fortifying a young child against infectious diseases: changes in diet perhaps, or a schedule of injections designed to bolster the immune response. Baby K's parents will also learn something about the looks of their child-to-be: brown eyes and curly hair, say, maybe slightly over-average height and slender.

German carmaker BMW says it expects pre-tax profit to rise sharply this year after the group reported record sales and earnings last year.
"The BMW group can look forward with confidence to the current financial year," chief executive Norbert Reithofer told the carmaker's annual earnings news conference.
Group profit before tax and sales volume are both expected to rise to new highs, he said.
"We are aiming to achieve a significant rise in sales volume in 2014, which would take us to a new all-time high of over two million vehicles," the chief executive said.
"We expect group profit before tax to rise significantly in the current year despite ongoing volatile business conditions," Reithofer said.
However, the pace at which earnings increase would be affected by high levels of expenditure for new technologies and by rising personnel expenses, Reithofer cautioned.
As already reported, BMW achieved record earnings and sales for the fourth year in a row in 2013.
Net profit rose by 4.5 per cent to €5.34 billion ($8.6 billion) last year.
Revenues slipped by 1 per cent to €76 billion, but unit sales jumped by 6.4 per cent to a record 1.9 million.

I know The Economist overcomplicates some ads, so that 'only' their target audience will understand, but this seems beyond understanding to me.

Not nearly as good (or as smart) as some of the previous headline driven campaigns.

It might capture the graduate or management trainnee to perfection for whom 'climbing' is exactly what they have ahead of them. So a broadcast to a niche?

BOSTON, MA--Former Atlanta Braves John Smoltz will take to the mound in Augusta Thursday in a rehab appearance for the Greenville Drive.
The Boston Globe is quoting Red Sox manager Terry Francona that Smoltz, who's trying to come back at the age of 42, was suppose to pitch in Florida in extended spring training. But due to impending bad weather, the Sox will have Smoltz join the Greenville Drive as they take on the Jackets.
Smoltz is on a 21 day rehab stint and to keep him on schedule Francona said this is the best for him.

Well, I don't know how sports related this sex is but there was some fencing going on before this tattooed weekend warrior babe starts stripping off her uniform and begins to show her instructor what she really wants to be stabbed with. I guess having sex in a gym is a better workout than fencing.

On a tangent, but crazy MotD2 stat: under Redknapp, our win percentage with King: 70-something (I think 73 - I was too stunned to take it in); win percentage without: 32%. It's something like 58 games he's played and 92 missed, so not miles apart (I should've written this before I forgot the stats shouldn't I...).On the one hand, I say retire him before he puts himself in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, on the other I say FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GET THE PERCENTAGE WITHOUT HIM UP!!!!!That is all.

Habitat and Ecology
Populations in the Hawaiian Archipelago become sexually mature during the early summer (Kenyon et al. 2007). Acropora cytherea likely spawns annually in October in French Polynesia (Carroll et al. 2006). This species is found from 3-25 m.
A. cytherea, along with M. aequituberculata, is the dominant coral species on the reef slope of central Vietnam reefs at a depth of 2-6 m (Latypov 2001).

Conservation Status
IUCN Red List Assessment
Red List Category
Red List Criteria
Year Assessed
This species is the most widespread and abundant of the Acropora species in the Hawaiian Archipelago with its highest densities in this area found in the French Frigate Shoals (Kenyon 1992). In the French Frigate Shoals, it has a patchy distribution with several areas of high abundance (Kenyon et al. 2006). Only two specimens had been recorded in the main Hawaiian Islands until August 2006 when two colonies were observed by divers at Mana Reef, Kauai (Kenyon et al. 2007).
On the outer reef flat of central Vietnam's reefs, A. cytherea is one of two species that dominate in both degree of substrate coverage and size of many circled colonies reaching 3 m across (Latypov 2001).
It was found at 55 sites of 87 sites surveyed in the Marshall Islands (Richards pers. comm.).
There is evidence that overall coral reef habitat has declined, and this is used as a proxy for population decline for this species. This species is more resilient to some of the threats faced by corals and therefore population decline is estimated using the percentage of destroyed reefs only (Wilkinson 2004). We assume that most, if not all, mature individuals will be removed from a destroyed reef and that on average, the number of individuals on reefs are equal across its range and proportional to the percentage of destroyed reefs. Reef losses throughout the species' range have been estimated over three generations, two in the past and one projected into the future.
The age of first maturity of most reef building corals is typically three to eight years (Wallace 1999) and therefore we assume that average age of mature individuals is greater than eight years. Furthermore, based on average sizes and growth rates, we assume that average generation length is 10 years, unless otherwise stated. Total longevity is not known, but likely to be more than ten years. Therefore any population decline rates for the Red List assessment are measured over at least 30 years. Follow the link below for further details on population decline and generation length estimates.
Population Trend
Threats include coral removal and harvesting for display in aquariums and for the curio-trade. The total number of corals (live and raw) exported for this species in 2005 was 384.
Acanthaster planci, the crown-of-thorns starfish, has been observed preferentially preying upon corals of the genus Acropora (Colgan 1987). This species is particularly susceptible to crown-of-thorns predation, storm damage, and bleaching (Richards pers. comm.). Crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) (Acanthaster planci) are found throughout the Pacific and Indian Oceans, and the Red Sea. These starfish voracious predators of reef-building corals, with a preference for branching and tabular corals such as Acropora species. Populations of the crown-of-thorns starfish have greatly increased since the 1970s and have been known to wipe out large areas of coral reef habitat. Increased breakouts of COTS has become a major threat to some species, and have contributed to the overall decline and reef destruction in the Indo-Pacific region. The effects of such an outbreak include the reduction of abundance and surface cover of living coral, reduction of species diversity and composition, and overall reduction in habitat area.
In general, the major threat to corals is global climate change, in particular, temperature extremes leading to bleaching and increased susceptibility to disease, increased severity of ENSO events and storms, and ocean acidification.
Coral disease has emerged as a serious threat to coral reefs worldwide and a major cause of reef deterioration (Weil et al. 2006). The numbers of diseases and coral species affected, as well as the distribution of diseases have all increased dramatically within the last decade (Porter et al. 2001, Green and Bruckner 2000, Sutherland et al. 2004, Weil 2004). Coral disease epizootics have resulted in significant losses of coral cover and were implicated in the dramatic decline of acroporids in the Florida Keys (Aronson and Precht 2001, Porter et al. 2001, Patterson et al. 2002). In the Indo-Pacific, disease is also on the rise with disease outbreaks recently reported from the Great Barrier Reef (Willis et al. 2004), Marshall Islands (Jacobson 2006) and the northwestern Hawaiian Islands (Aeby 2006). Increased coral disease levels on the GBR were correlated with increased ocean temperatures (Willis et al. 2007) supporting the prediction that disease levels will be increasing with higher sea surface temperatures. Escalating anthropogenic stressors combined with the threats associated with global climate change of increases in coral disease, frequency and duration of coral bleaching and ocean acidification place coral reefs in the Indo-Pacific at high risk of collapse.
Localized threats to corals include fisheries, human development (industry, settlement, tourism, and transportation), changes in native species dynamics (competitors, predators, pathogens and parasites), invasive species (competitors, predators, pathogens and parasites), dynamite fishing, chemical fishing, pollution from agriculture and industry, domestic pollution, sedimentation, and human recreation and tourism activities.
The severity of these combined threats to the global population of each individual species is not known.
Conservation Actions
Recommended measures for conserving this species include research in taxonomy, population, abundance and trends, ecology and habitat status, threats and resilience to threats, restoration action; identification, establishment and management of new protected areas; expansion of protected areas; recovery management; and disease, pathogen and parasite management. Artificial propagation and techniques such as cryo-preservation of gametes may become important for conserving coral biodiversity.
Having timely access to national-level trade data for CITES analysis reports would be valuable for monitoring trends this species. The species is targeted by collectors for the aquarium trade and fisheries management is required for the species, e.g., MPAs, quotas, size limits, etc. Consideration of the suitability of species for aquaria should also be included as part of fisheries management, and population surveys should be carried out to monitor the effects of harvesting. Recommended conservation measures include population surveys to monitor the effects of collecting for the aquarium trade, especially in Indonesia.
Acropora cytherea
Acropora cytherea is a stony coral which forms horizontal table like structures. It occurs in the Indo-Pacific Ocean in areas with little wave action, favouring back reef environments from 3 to 20 m (10 to 66 ft) depth.
Acropora cytherea is a colonial species of coral that grows in large horizontal plates. These are formed of many tiny branchlets growing vertically or at an angle and others growing horizontally to extend the colony. They may branch and link together and near the centre the plates may become a solid mass of joined branchlets. The surface of the coral is covered by a thin layer of living tissue. This has a rough surface and contains zooxanthella, symbiotic, unicellular, photosynthetic algae. These give the coral its cream or pale brown colour (occasionally pale blue).[2][3] The calcium carbonate skeleton is secreted by many small polyps which are joined together through an interconnecting network of channels inside the skeleton. At night, and sometimes during the day, the polyps protrude from the skeleton and extend their tentacles to feed. At other times, they contract back into the safety of the skeleton.[4] In older specimens, particularly those exceeding 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) in diameter, the regular structure sometimes breaks down near the centre and there are growth anomalies. It has been found that these are not deleterious to the survival of the coral and may be caused by stress factors such as raised sea temperatures.[5]
Distribution and habitat[edit]
Acropora cytherea is one of the most plentiful members of the genus Acropora. It is found in the Indo-Pacific Ocean from the Red Sea and the east coast of Africa to India, the China Sea, Japan, Australia, Micronesia and Hawaii. It is found below low tide mark in clear shallow water with little wave action, in lagoons and upper reef slopes and back reef slopes.[2][1]
Several small crabs are obligate associates of corals, feeding on coral tissues but protecting the coral from attack by predators such as the crown-of-thorns starfish. One of these, Cymo melanodactylus, lives in association with Acropora cytherea but its low numbers (fewer than three per coral) mean that its host suffers little harm. In the Chagos Archipelago these crabs have shown a change in their behaviour and have been found in large numbers infesting diseased and dying corals. In 2010 in the Archipelago, infestations of over 45 of these crabs were found on individual heads of A. cytherea exhibiting dead and dying tissue. The crabs were in close proximity to the damaged tissues but it was unclear whether the crabs were the original cause of the damage or whether they had moved in to exploit the already dying tissues.[6]
Acropora cytherea is considered by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species to be of "Least concern". This is because it has a wide range and in many locations it is one of the more abundant reef building species.[1] One of the threats it faces is from the voracious crown-of-thorns starfish which has become more abundant in the Pacific and Indian Oceans since about 1970 and has periodical breakouts when its numbers increase dramatically. Apart from predators, corals in general are at risk from rising sea temperatures, violent storms, ocean acidification, bleaching and coral diseases.[1]

Food plays an important role in sustainability. At Marquette, we are able to address food's role through our Dining Services programs. Sodexo heads up Dining Services on Marquette's campus. Along with their corporate sustainability goals and initiatives, they have had a tremendous impact on sustainability initiatives here at Marquette.
Along with Sodexo, various other groups on campus are also actively engaged in food sustainability at Marquette. Such groups as Campus Kitchens and Students for an Environmentally Active Campus (SEAC). Below is a sampling of some of these groups' initiatives.
Marquette's first campus farmers' market took place in fall 2010. It was a one-time event attracting over 500 attendees. Since then, the farmers' market program has expanded to include three separate events spread over a six week period each fall. For each market, Sodexo works closely with their local farmers and partners to bring fresh produce for students, faculty and staff to purchase. In addition to the standard produce offerings, each market has offered a sort of side event which has included a regional chili cook-off and a smoked pork shoulder sandwich stand. The fall farmers' markets have become widely popular and are heavily attended. Please share your ideas on how we can improve the campus farmers' markets in the future.
In addition to the campus farmers' market series, another farmers' market, the Westown Market, operates on Wednesdays and is located approximately 10 blocks from campus. The Westown Market operates from the end of June till the end of October.
Find more farmers' markets throughout the Milwaukee area.
Marquette is home to a chapter of the Campus Kitchens Project.The Campus Kitchens Project is a student-run kitchen that helps keep food from going to waste, and turn it into nutritious meals for those who are struggling with food insecurity.
Instead of being wasted, the Campus Kitchens at Marquette chapter collects food from several areas on campus including individual donations and from Sodexo's kitchens. They also grow some of their own food in the campus gardens.The Campus Kitchens at Marquette chapters delivers upwards of 500 meals per week to local partners.
The garden project was a student-led initiative that came to fruition in April 2012, and was a collaboration between SEAC, Campus Kitchens at Marquette, the College of Health Sciences and the Office of Sustainability. The project began as a pilot program with 12 raised beds to test its feasibility. Since then, additional raised beds have been added and we look to add more in the future.
The garden beds are currently being used by SEAC, the College of Health Sciences, Campus Kitchens at Marquette, and the Residence Hall Directors. A couple of professors from Health Sciences even included the gardens in their summer curriculum. One of the problems we face with expanding the program however, is that students are not generally on campus during the growing season, summer. If your group is present during the summer and is able to maintain the bed(s), we would be glad to look into adding more.
Sodexo does more than just provide food. They help reduce the university's waste stream as well. Some of their initiatives include trayless dining in several residence halls, giving discounts to those who use reusable mugs in the Brew Cafés, using reusable china and dishware instead of disposable dishware, and incorporating pre-consumer composting in their operations.
Trayless dining was an initiative implemented to help reduce food waste, chemical use, and reduce water use. Trayless dining helps reduce food waste by deterring students from loading their trays with food they think they'll eat, but never do. Since this food has been served, it cannot be reused in any way, and therefore must be disposed of. Trayless dining reduces chemical use and water use because those trays no longer need to be washed and sanitized. It is estimated that each tray requires half a gallon of water to wash. Multiply that by thousands, three times a day, and the annual savings become enormous.
The Brew Cafés are trying to cut down on their cup and sleeve waste by offering $0.25 discounts to people who bring their own mug.
Dining Services partners with Sanimax to compost waste from the food service operations on campus. Pre-consumer food waste is collected from all residence hall dining locations, the Tory Hill Café, the Brew Cafés (coffee beans), and the AMU. Post-consumer composting is being studied and is scheduled to be instituted in phases in the near future.
Sodexo already utilizes several local and regional growers and distributors in their operations. However, not all of us utilize their meal plans. There are several grocery stores, Co-ops, farmers' markets and other retail locations where you can purchase local, organic foods in the Milwaukee area. Beyond just purchasing more sustainable foods, there are organizations around Milwaukee that are always looking for volunteers to get their hands dirty.
Know of any sustainability-minded restaurants in the area? Please let us know.
If you would like us to add any additional information pertaining to dining services and food sustainability to this page, please don't hesitate to send your requests to firstname.lastname@example.com.

I was playing with GTMetrix and a test site I have running a child theme of Twenty Twelve. I noticed in the Timeline that it was calling not only my fonts from Google but Open Sans (I hadn't read enough to know Open Sans is a "feature" of the new theme).
Since I didn't want to use it, I thought I'd remove it, and found (in functions.php) the following note:
* To disable in a child theme, use wp_dequeue_style()
* function mytheme_dequeue_fonts() {
* wp_dequeue_style( 'twentytwelve-fonts' );
* }
* add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'mytheme_dequeue_fonts', 11 );
So I un-commented it and put php stuff around it, put it in functions.php (I already had one from registering an extra menu).
It removed Open Sans--page looks good, no call for Open Sans in the Timeline any more. Small problem: no backend to the site displays! Is it all in Open Sans, or what?
I removed the dequeue stuff from functions.php, and all is well. But I really don't want to be calling fonts I am not using.

After the Tumult, Boston U. Wonders Where It Goes From Here
By SARA RIMER
Published: November 19, 2003
BOSTON, Nov. 18— Nearly three weeks after Boston University's board astonished all of academia by paying Daniel S. Goldin $1.8 million to walk away from the presidency, many questions about the university's future remain unanswered.
Some members of the faculty and the board worry that rival institutions will take advantage of confusion at the university by recruiting its star professors. They are also concerned that alumni will hesitate to donate and that the government, along with private foundations, may think twice about grants.
The search for a new president will not even begin until the end of the academic year, at the earliest.
''A potential first-rate new presidential recruit will not even consider the university until they fully understand what they're getting into: whether or not the university has cleaned up its act in terms of governance,'' said David D'Alessandro, chief executive of John Hancock Financial Services and one of Boston's top power brokers, who, in line to be B.U.'s new chairman, instead quit the board over Mr. Goldin's appointment.
It is too soon to tell whether the university will emerge with the more independent and open board that many are calling for. That could depend on whether John Silber, the former president who has now stepped down as chancellor and trustee after 32 years heading the university, continues to exert his near-mythic influence. So far, the signals have been mixed.
The interim president, Dr. Aram V. Chobanian, 74, the medical school dean, has been telling people that he is his own man and urging outspokenness by professors and students. Faculty members, who for years have felt constrained by Dr. Silber's autocratic rule, are talking tentatively about a new freedom on campus.
''However, we hope it doesn't turn into a Prague spring,'' said William Skocpol, a physics professor, referring to Soviet tanks' crushing a Czechoslovak reform movement 35 years ago.
There is, as Professor Skocpol explained, one fundamental question: Is Boston University in a post-John Silber era or not?
Dr. Silber, who first championed Mr. Goldin's appointment and then reportedly turned against him, transformed what had been a commuter school into the nation's fourth-largest university. He has been named president emeritus and will keep his faculty appointments in law and philosophy. He and his wife will remain in their university-owned house, though he will be moving from his palatial office into a smaller one in the next two weeks, said Nancy Sterling, a B.U. spokeswoman. He is no longer involved in running the university, Ms. Sterling said.
Dr. Silber himself has been uncharacteristically silent in recent weeks, refusing interview requests. His friends say he deeply regrets his support of Mr. Goldin's candidacy.
Many Silber loyalists remain on the board, and real change cannot occur without their resignations, faculty members and even some trustees say. But Ms. Sterling said there were no plans for anyone to step down, and Dexter Dodge, who has been a trustee for over 20 years and is a staunch admirer of Dr. Silber, said, ''Nobody's a rubber stamp.''
Faculty members consider it an encouraging sign that the board has appointed an ad hoc committee of five trustees to examine its governing. (Mr. Dodge is the chairman.)
University boards operate with minimal oversight, and it took B.U.'s recent troubles to expose complex inner workings and relationships among the trustees -- and, some members maintain, their failings.
Though boards are charged with governing their universities, and though the president is supposed to serve at the will of the board, the roles had long since reversed at this institution, several trustees said.
So when it came to making the most important decision of all -- who would run the university -- Dr. Silber, and not the board, was in charge, said people involved in the search and others close to the board. They said that Dr. Silber had wanted Mr. Goldin, the former NASA administrator, and that Dr. Silber's supporters on the board had made sure he got what he wanted.
''People are looking at this search slack-jawed,'' said David L. Warren, president of the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities. ''It's so extraordinary and so out of the mainstream and the proper functioning of a search process and, by reflection, the workings of a board of governance. It will go down in the annals of higher-education searches.''
There was a lot about Dr. Silber's board that was unusual. With 40 to 50 members, it was much larger than most boards, a factor that tended to dilute the power of individual trustees or even small groups of them, and so make it easier for Dr. Silber to control them, several people close to the board said. In addition, a group of insiders, many of whom had served for over 20 years -- more than double the usual longevity for university trustees -- had been chosen by Dr. Silber, these people said.
Though trustees serve without pay, one member appointed this year is Gerald Cassidy, a Washington lobbyist who has won millions of research dollars for the university and whose firm was paid $806,218 by B.U. in the 2001 tax year.

Has anyone seen a schematic for Lionel's CW-80 transformer???
The fan in mine is starting to make noise...
Thanks much!
Why do you want a schematic to fix a noisy fan? Just open it up and oil or replace the fan.
Hi Bill,
I thought the schematic would be useful in determining the correct part number...
Figured the extra knowlege wouldn't hurt...
Might help. There's a website somewhere that has a lot of instructions from various manufacturers in various scales. I've seen it, but don't have the URL off hand, sorry.
Maybe someone else knows what it is.
Internal parts for the CW-80 are not available from Lionel, as it's not considered a "user repairable" item. That said, the fan is just one of those 12VDC sealed bearing mini-fans used in many computers. The trick is finding a triangle tipped screw driver to open the case with! ;^)
When they show up at my LHW, I plan to replace my CW-80 with one of the new Atlas-O 80 watt transformers that don't need a fan. Plus they allow "common ground" wiring of track and accessories like the older Lionel transformers did.
On 12/19/2007 4:50 PM Len spake thus:
Not a problem; just make one from an old screwdriver by grinding a three-sided shank. I've done it.

How do you think I know the fan is just one of those 12VDC mini-fans?? ;^))
Hi Guys!
Thanks to all who responded...
And, yes, after much searching of security head screwdrivers I've decided I'm gonna have to grind my own...
As to the CW-80, I've tried hooking up a couple of independently powered accessories & computer sensors to the accessory jacks with just miserable results.
I'm thinking a common ground transformer referred to in an earlier post may be the ultimate answer to my problems.

About 5 mnths ago I was in a real bad bind and needed cash fast. I applied online looking for a payday loan. This compnay cashNetUSA called me, Shawn Johnson. I spoke to him, he went thru this beg speal, explaining that the loan would be for a longer period of time, lower payments etc. They did not need any money down, needed the banking info to deposit the funds, and wanted to be sure we could afford the monthly payments so they wanted to be sure we had funds on a credit card or something to be sure we could afford the loan, they would not take anyting out. I had a Greendot money Pak card that I had money on, they took it out of the card and i never heard from them again.
I called every morning afternoon & evening and left a msg. The voice mail was a woman. then the phone would be busy, then finally disconnected. Just this week they called me again not knowing they had scammed me a few months agao, saying the same things as before.This time it was Joe Johnson (which to me the same person says different names) I told them they scammed me before and I want my money back he laughed at me and said yes it is a big scam, and I will never get my money back. The # this time is 872-213-9008 which from Whitepages.com is a cell phone from Chicago IL.
