I'm Ben and I'm a Post Doc working with Agneta Richter-Dahlfors at The Karolinska Institute.
I'm a microbiologist by training. I did my degree in Microbiology at the University of Leeds between 2004 and 2007. This was an excellent degree and I had the great opportunity to be trained by some of the best academics in the field.
Since then I have focused on applying my skills as a microbiologist to different areas. For my Ph.D I worked with Mike Brockhurst, a prolific Evolutionary Ecologist and Mal Horsburgh, an expert in staphylococcal physiology and genetics. I was interested in understanding why certain people carry Staphylococcus aureus in their nose. This is a serious problem, especially in hospitals where antibiotic-resistant strains such as MRSA cause life-threatening infections. I applied community ecology approaches to find out if other bacteria residing in the nose with S. aureus could affect carriage. The aim was to find bacterial species that could ultimately be used as a "probiotic" for the nose that could kill S. aureus before it can cause harm.
After my Ph.D I changed fields altogether to address a different problem. Working with Dan Nicolau and Harm van Zalinge, I studied how motile microorganisms navigate microfluidic networks. There are countless ways in which microbiology and microfluidics can be combined to study the world around us. However, I was primarily interested in how motile bacteria can be used as agents to solve complex bio-computational problems. I was also interested in how confinement of microorganisms in microfluidic networks that more closely resemble their natural environment, can help us understand more about the way they move.
After my Posdoc in engineering I continued on an interdisciplinary path working as a biologist in the department of chemistry. I used molecular biology and biochemistry to study the effect of a synthetic and potentially mutagenic DNA adduct. By using bacteria as simple models, I was able to understand how a live cell treats this DNA lesion with a view to developing therapies and/or detection systems.
I currently work on infection at the Karolinska Institute. I'm studying the process by which microorganisms colonise medical implants and trying to develop new methods to detect and remove infection. My aim is to apply my background in microbial ecology/device fabrication and blend this with the Tissue Microbiology and Organic Bioelectronics expertise from the Richter-Dahlfors lab. Given the close ties with The Karolinska Hospital, I hope to apply what we find directly to the clinic in order to help patients. I also hope to learn about the process of patenting and commercialising research.

#Blessings 2016, we out!
Across the board it's been a very interesting year for music, and R&B played a major role in adding unique projects to 2016. From our perspective–over the past couple of years–there appears to be a stronger push to return certain elements of traditional R&B to the mainstream public, even coming from the new generations. However, the genre is still evolving, continuing to grow and change, and creative progression is what we want to see.
What we heard this year, is a vast variety of R&B sounds, styles, and inspirations across many releases; from new breakout voices to mainstream megastars to long overdue comebacks from some of our most beloved singers. 2016 was the year for it all, whether you love buttery smooth soul, gritty blues, sinfully dark seduction, dance and sing-along anthems, retro funk and anything in-between, there was something for every taste in the many albums that were released this year.
Now, instead of offering our critical album rankings this year, we've taken a different approach to the list, and not placed the albums in number order, but just alphabetical. So click below to check out our list of The 20 Best R&B Albums of 2016, and also check out the results of our Readers' Choice Poll on the last page as well!

LIVERPOOL could have the best of both worlds as the board weighs up two tempting offers to invest big time in the club.
Steve Morgan's counter offer of #73m to the Thai government's proposed #60m deal is certainly worth considering.
The former building magnate, a big Liverpool fan keen to become a major player in the Anfield club's future, says he does not want to oust chairman David Moores, but believes his money could enable the club to invest on the playing front and with the development of the proposed new stadium in Stanley Park.
Of course, he would want a seat on the board but, as a local man, he would be a hands-on director and his business acumen can only benefit the Reds.
With Moores still at the helm but Morgan also totally involved, every Liverpool fan will be happy that someone closer to home has got the club's interests at heart.
I would take Morgan's offer, but definitely not rule out some sort of Thai investment - because I still believe the club could also broach a deal that would be beneficial to themselves, the Thai government and football in the Far East in general.
It would enable the club to develop links on that side of the world through marketing and the strong fan base they have developed.
Just think what a coup it would be - #73m from a red-hot supporter, plus the millions that could also flow from Thailand.
I would not recommend a Reds spending spree on the Roman Abramovich lines, but it will certainly strengthen the club's hand as they look to renew their challenge to Arsenal, Chelsea and United.
The London club has certainly made an impact and have had a good season in finishing second in the Premiership but by over-buying and leaving top names on the bench and others loaned out, he has made some mistakes.
Vast improvement >>>>
Vast improvement>
THE Reds' performance at Birmingham was one of the best of the season.
It was significant, too, because it came from a side without Diouf, Diao, Smicer, Cheyrou, Biscan and Traore.
None of them has set the world alight since arriving at Anfield. I know it can sometimes be difficult settling in from another country, but they just haven't shown consistently what is required once you pull on a Liverpool shirt.
Many fans will not be happy if some of them are still in the squad next season and Gerard Houllier will be looking for some sort of clear-out to create funds for his anticipated new signings.
The good news this week was the confirmation by Michael Owen that he will be staying at Anfield. That is an important step in the right direction.
With the arrival of Djibril Cisse and one or two other big forays into the transfer market - I don't anticipate a huge spending spree - there will be renewed hope that the Reds can make a greater impact on the Premiership next season.
Hopefully, the Champions League will also be beckoning, and if the Reds field the same team that hammered Birmingham, we should be on a winner and clinch that fourth spot.
Applaud Gunners>
THE curtain should come down on the Premier-ship next weekend with Arsenal having gone the whole season unbeaten.
The Gunners have been absolutely brilliant in the league campaign, having played some dazzling football, and thoroughly deserve the accolade of "Unbeaten Champions".

Great work, Sturm. I was planning on doing the same type of analysis with the Norris votes, you beat me to it.
I think you did the right thing by limiting this to years where players received at least one first place vote or two top-3 votes. It's obvious that in many years, all of the players outside of the top 5-10 simply received one or two votes (out of 50-100 potential voters). There's no point in pretending that a player with a single 4th place vote is definitely superior to a player that received a single 5th place vote (or didn't receive any votes at all).
A few quick observations. Randy Carlyle's poor voting record supports my long-held opinion that he's the worst Norris winner ever. Zubov's voting record is pretty interesting- it supports the general consensus that he's been a very good defenseman for a long time, but he's only really had a few elite seasons. Finally, I think that Phaneuf has sky-high potential but I'm very surprised by his three straight top-eight finishes. Maybe I should watch more Flames games.
There's one more Norris metric I'd like to work on: Norris shares. It's based on the Vezina shares Dr. No has on his website. Basically, you compare voting points a player has, to the total available votes. This way, Bobby Orr's unanimous 1970 Norris is worth more than, say, Doug Wilson getting ~58% of available points.

Molluscum contagiosum causes harmless, but often embarrassing, growths that can affect any part of the body. Although it eventually goes away of its own accord, the virus that causes it can be spread easily, and growths may get out of control. To understand why molluscum contagiosum often seems to come back, learn more about the virus that causes it and how you can take preventive measures to limit the spread of growths.
Where and How You Get It
Molluscum contagiosum is caused by a member of the poxvirus family. It can be contracted by direct contact with someone with mollusca (the growths caused by the virus), but it also can be acquired by handling contaminated objects or by sharing towels, clothing, hairbrushes and other personal items. Mollusca in children are common, with growths noted on the face, neck, arms, hands, fingers and under the armpits. However, when adults get molluscum contagiosum, growths usually appear on the genitals or groin area as a result of having sex with someone who also has mollusca. Those with depressed immune systems are more at risk for contracting molluscum contagiosum.
How It Spreads
Growths may be limited in number, but they also can grow in a row or clusters. They present as dome-shaped papules with a waxy appearance and a small indentation in the center. They are usually no more than 2 and 6 millimeters in diameter, although they can be larger than 1 centimeter in people with depressed immune systems. The growths spread when scratched, rubbed or picked , transferring the virus to another part of the body. Shaving over the papules also can cause the virus to spread to other areas of the skin, enabling more growths to erupt.
Does It Go Away?
Molluscum contagiosum eventually goes away between six months and a year in healthy adults, but it may take longer for children. If you only have a few growths that don't appear to be spreading, you may not require medical treatment. However, mollusca contagiosum, as the latter word implies, is contagious and can be passed to uninfected sexual partners. The Mayo Clinic recommends that all adults receive medical treatment. The decision to treat a child with mollusca depends on the child's age, health, tolerance for treatment and the extent to which growths have spread.
Doctors can offer numerous methods of treating mollusca contagiosum. These may include in-office procedures that can remove growths using cryotherapy (freezing with liquid nitrogen), evisceration, curettage or dissolved using certain topical acids or blistering solutions. A prescription may be recommended, such as topical retinoids, immune modifiers or antiviral medications. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, it's common for new mollusca to appear as old growths are healing.
Preventive Measures
If you have molluscum contagiosum, there are ways to prevent the virus from spreading to other areas of your body, as well as to others. The Mayo Clinic advises not touching, scratching or shaving over the growths. Don't share your personal items, such as clothing, towels, combs or hairbrushes, and don't use those that belong to others. Adults with mollusca should strictly avoid sexual contact until all growths been treated and the condition is resolved.

This invention is concerned with security of lockers, safes, desks, cabinets or other such storage devices assigned for temporary or long-term use. In particular, the invention relates to a lock operated by an electronic identification means for such storage situations.
Electric locks are well known. For example, hotel safes for temporary use by guests have included digital locks with keypad and other electronic identification means to provide access to the hotel guest. In some cases, the guest is able to select his/her own combination for the lock and in others the guest is issued a pre-selected number or some electronic identification means used as the "key" for the lock device.
The following U.S. Pat. Nos. are believed to have some relevance to this invention: 5,886,644 and 5,894,277.
There has been a need for an electro mechanical lock operated by an electronic identification means of relatively inexpensive construction with more versatility as to use on various standard designs of doors, modularity as to assembly, opposite hand use and bolt throw length, easy programmability and convenience and simplicity to the user, including adaptability and ease of use for persons with disabilities.
A variety of locks for lockers, safes and cabinets exist. Some are mechanical and work with keys or combination dials; some are electronic and operate with use of keypads or other electronic identification data. However, no single locking device has been able to address the problem of adaptability to various door types and door preparations. Metal lockers manufactured in the United States typically are equipped with a vertical locking bar, which locks the door unit to the frame in two or three points. The lock mechanism blocks this vertical locking bar. Alternatively, the locker employs a single point latch mechanism. In both cases the majority of lockers utilize a three-hole door preparation and a locking position that is standard. However, the bolt or latch length required for the three point locking bar is different from that required for a single point latch, making it difficult to use a single locking device which would fit for both applications.
Most wood doors are locked by small cam lock devices, which operate with the turning of the key and flipping of the cam mechanism. Again with the wood doors there are different locking points required for different doors. A locking mechanism shown by the instant invention provides a locking mechanism to address numerous door types and preparations as well as numerous functionalities.
An important object of the invention is to provide an electro mechanical lock that fits to various standard door preparations without any modification, providing instant retrofit capability to various types of doors, and including programmable bolt extension length that is adjustable to the particular locking application. Another object of the invention is to provide a locking mechanism that is easy to use by people with disabilities. Yet another objection of the invention is to allow numerous functionalities to cover different usages. A further object is to provide improved bolt drive systems for the lock units described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,886,644 and 5,894,277, and the disclosure of those patents are incorporated herein by reference.
These and other objects, advantages and features of the invention will be apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment, considered along with the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 14 is an elevation view showing the interior of an electronic locking device utilizing the screw drive mechanism with a spring latch unit of the invention.
FIG. 1 shows a portion of a locker door or cabinet door 10 which, in this case, has a recessed lock mounting 12, recessed inwardly in the metal door. The illustrated door has a standard three-hole door prep identified generally as 14, with two opposed mounting holes 16 at top and bottom and a larger center hole 18. The hole 18 conventionally was intended to receive the dial shaft of a built-in combination lock or a key hole of the key operated built-in combination lock.
The lock device of this invention includes an outer housing 20 and an inner housing 22, shown separated and on either side of the door 10, as they are assembled by connecting them with electrical pin 24 and socket 26 connectors through the recess 14 of the door, in a sandwiched construction. All this is as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,894,277, assigned to the assignee of this invention and incorporated herein by reference. As explained in that patent, fastening bores 28 at the back side of the outer housing 20 and fastening holes 30 in the inner housing 22 are lined up with the upper and lower locker door holes 16 to receive fasteners to secure the assembly together. Preferably the bores 28 on the outer housing are tapped, and the inner housing holes 30 are through-holes so that a pair of machine screws can secure the two units together and to the door recess 12. In another embodiment, the front unit 20 may be fitted with threaded posts at the location 28 which will go through the holes 16 and 30 and fastened with nuts behind new unit 22 sandwiching the mounting plate 12.
FIG. 2 indicates that the same inner and outer housings 22 and 20 can be used on a wood door 31, which has a much larger thickness to be penetrated with the sandwiched assembly. This can be accomplished with a connection extender 32 as shown.
It should also be understood that the invention described herein can be formed as a single unit, rather than inner and outer housings, with that single unit mounted entirely on the inside of the door, whether the door be metal or wood.
FIG. 3 shows an example of a locker front 34, which could be the front of the locker door 10 shown in FIG. 1, with an electronic door access device 36 which can include the front housing 20 shown in FIG. 1. In this case the front housing 20 has a keypad 38, but, as shown in FIG. 4, the front housing 20 a can have an ibutton contact 40, which provides for electronic access by contact with the user's hand-held ibutton as explained in U.S. Pat. No. 5,886,644 assigned to the assignee of this invention and incorporated by reference herein. The access device or electronic access means can also include other types of readers such as proximity devices, transponders, radio frequency or infrared readers which can communicate the user's I.D. or code remotely to the housing 20 a. The item 40 in FIG. 4 can represent a reader or receiving device for other identification technologies mentioned above such as proximity cards or infrared devices. Other features on the face of the ibutton-receiving outer housing 20 a are explained in the '644 patent.
Again referring to FIG. 3, a key slot 41 is included in the electronic access device 36 in one preferred embodiment. This is for access by a manager. In a preferred embodiment the manager possesses a small key with a small blade which actually comprises a circuit board with traces, connected to an ibutton. This key is used for manager functions, such as opening the locker without the need for entry of a manager code on the keypad. The advantages are that the user does not see the manager code, which could be misused; a unique manager key code can be assigned and deleted when needed (such as if a key is lost); and each manager holding a key can be uniquely identified, such as if an audit trail feature is included.
The electronic locking device of the invention can be used on lockers equipped with a vertical locking bar to lock the door unit to the frame at two or three locking points, or it can be used on lockers or cabinet doors with a single point latch mechanism or it can also be used on locker or cabinet doors with other locking arrangements wherein the locking mechanism is designed to be blocked by the bolt or latch unit of a built-in locker lock.
FIG. 5 shows the interior of an electronic locking device 42 of the invention. This could be the inner unit 22 shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2, or it could be a self-contained locking unit which is mounted from only one side of the door. FIGS. 5, 6 and 7 show details of this mechanism, which, in one preferred embodiment, allows adjustment of the length of bolt travel. In FIG. 5 the unit is shown with a housing 44, batteries 45 located in a rear portion of the housing, a micromotor 46 which includes a gear head 48 (together referred to as a DC geared micromotor), and a mechanism 50 for transferring motion from the motor and gear head to a lock bolt 52 shown protruding from the housing. This mechanism includes an output shaft 54 from the gear head which turns a linkage arm 56. This linkage arm is pivotally connected to another linkage arm 58, which has an opposite end connected at a pivot point 60 to the bolt slider linkage or carrier plate 62 engaged to the bolt 52 as shown. Although the bolt and carrier are conveniently formed as separate pieces, the bolt could be one single component comprising an integration of the two, if desired, and this should be understood in the claims.
FIG. 7 shows schematically and in a partial side view the action of the motor in retracting or extending the bolt 52. As can be seen, the motor and gear head rotate the first linkage arm 56 in a clockwise direction as shown by the arrow 64 to retract the linkage arm 58 and the bolt carrier 62, which retracts the bolt 52. When the bolt is to be extended, the first linkage arm 56 pivots counterclockwise toward the position shown, pushing the second arm 58 outwardly to the position shown, and thus extending the bolt carrier and bolt.
As can be seen in FIGS. 5 and 6, the bolt 52 and bolt carrier are modular, and a different bolt 52, shorter or longer, can be substituted merely via an access screw 66 and by lifting the bolt out from a pair of gripping flanges 68, with the housing open. Also as seen in FIG. 6, the bolt carrier unit can be used for attaching a bolt or a spring latch, in this case a spring is attached to the spring post 73.
In addition, as noted above, the length of throw or travel of the bolt 52 (regardless of which modular bolt is used) can be adjusted by the mechanism according to the invention. This is accomplished electronically, using feedback from a sensor or sensors 71 as to the bolt carrier position. The signals are fed to a micro-processor on board the unit, which provides for powering the motor in the appropriate direction and stopping the motor when the latch has reached the desired end of travel.
FIG. 8 schematically shows the various settings for bolt throw with the lock of the invention. The lock housing is indicated at 44, with the bolt carrier indicated at 62. The bolt extension is shown at three different lengths A, B and C, as alternatives. These might become, for example, � inch of throw, ⅜ inch of throw, and ⅝ inch of throw although these distances can be selected as desired.
The way in which this is achieved is preferably by using optical sensing. In FIG. 6 the bolt slider linkage or carrier 62 is shown without the housing and remaining components, and the carrier is shown as having a series of holes or "windows" 70 and 72. The row of holes 70 is lined up for reading by one optical sensor 71, while the row of holes 72 is lined up for reading by a second optical sensor 71. Advantageously, these sensors can be of the type which include a light source projecting toward the bolt carrier, as from below or behind the bolt carrier as seen in FIG. 6. If the sensor sees no reflected light, a hole is present. If the sensor does detect reflected light, a hole is not precisely at the location of the sensor. This is true of both rows of holes. The holes and sensors are so located that various settings can be achieved, and the user or person who programs the lock for the desired settings will select the proper position indicating desired full retraction and the proper position indicating desired full extension. Alternatively, the mechanism can be simpler and allow for only adjustment of the fully extended position, with the retracted position always being the same. In any event, the two sensors 71 act together and feed signals to the microprocessor which determines the position of the bolt at any given time, and which shuts off power to the motor 46 when the desired position of extension (or retraction) is reached. Stoppage of the bolt travel is almost instantaneous when the motor power is cut off. The two rows of holes are preferred, so that two signals are fed to the microprocessor at each position, and the microprocessor can then determine exactly where the bolt and bolt carrier are located. Otherwise, the microprocessor would have to perform some type of counting and memory function to know which particular hole is over the sensor, which is possible, but not preferred.
FIG. 9 indicates a form of simple logic for the system with two rows of holes or "windows" 70 and 72. The holes and sensors are set up so that the signal to the microprocessor is either "no/no" (e.g., �-inch setting), "no/yes" (e.g., ⅜-inch setting) or "yes/yes" (e.g., ⅝-inch setting).
Other forms of position sensors can be used for the extended and retracted positions of the latch, such as an encoder connected to a rotational component such as the motor 46 or the output shaft 54 or the gear head 48 and connected to the microprocessor, or a simple limit switch, or a pair of limit switches for beginning and end of bolt travel, with one or more flags to trip the limit switches, and again with signals sent to the microprocessor. The limit switches could be adjustable by purely mechanical adjustment so as to set the retracted and extended positions of the bolt, or the flag positions could be adjustable, or the limit switches could have multiple trip positions sending different signals to the microprocessor.
It should be understood that a wide variety of door situations can be addressed by the apparatus of the invention, by use of the replaceable bolt, interchangeable with bolts of different lengths, in combination with the adjustable, settable throw of the bolt mechanism. Many different backset situations can be accommodated, as well as other conditions such as bolt thickness in various doors or lockers, cabinets, etc.
FIGS. 10-10C illustrate the sensor positions and related bolt throws of the lock device of the invention.
FIGS. 11 and 11A are elevation and side views illustrating the same lock device of the invention, but with a spring latch rather than a bolt. FIGS. 11 and 11A show a spring latch 80, engaged with a carrier or slider linkage 62 which can be essentially the same as the slider linkage 62 which carries a bolt in FIGS. 5-6. Here, instead of being engaged by a linkage arm at the pivot point 60 as in the earlier embodiment, the slider linkage 62 is biased toward the extended position shown by a spring 83 but is retracted by the DC micromotor (motor 46 and gear head 48) using a cam or lever 82 that engages a tab or flange 84 on the slider linkage 62 as shown particularly in FIG. 11A. The lever 82 retracts the carrier and spring latch by motion in the clockwise direction as seen in FIG. 11A, as indicated by the arrow 86. When the latch is to be extended, the lever 82 is rotated in the opposite direction (counterclockwise in FIG. 11A), so as to allow the carrier 62 and latch 80 to extend back outwardly under the influence of the spring 83. FIG. 11 shows that the lock unit 42 a can include rows of "windows" 70 and 72 as in the bolt form of the invention, with sensors 71 as shown to allow the full retracted position and full extended position to be adjusted by programming as desired.
Again, as in the bolt embodiment, the lock unit 42 a has provision for replaceable latches 80, so that a latch of proper length can be selected to accommodate different situations of doors.
FIG. 12 shows the same lock unit shown in FIGS. 5 and 10 but with a different drive mechanism, which achieves essentially the same result. In this case a gear 91 which may be a helical gear attached to the motor gear head 48 turns a gear 92 which may be another helical gear on a shaft at right angles to the output of the gear head. The gear 92 and a continuous screw 93 are part of the screw-drive unit and when the screw 93 turns a travel nut 95 which is attached by a small mounting screw or other fastener 94 (shown in dashed lines) to a bolt carrier plate or slider linkage 98, it rides back and forth on the drive screw 93 creating the necessary movement for the bolt 52. FIGS. 12-12C show different bolt protrusions and relative sensor configurations as discussed earlier.
FIGS. 13 and 13A show in detail the carrier plate 98 which is attached to a bolt 52 in FIG. 13 and is attached to a spring latch 80 in FIG. 13A. The carrier 98 can be the same as in FIGS. 12-12C. In the case of a bolt operation the travel nut 95 shown in FIG. 12 is attached to the bolt carrier 98 through the hole 100 of the track 96. The travel of the travel nut as result of the continuous screw 93 of the screw drive moves the carrier unit 98 which is attached to the bolt 52, accomplishing the protrusion and retraction motions of the lock unit. In the case of spring latch operation the screw or fastener 94 is removed and the carrier plate 98 is biased forward by a spring 97 (shown in FIG. 14). The carrier plate 98 is retracted by the travel nut 95 which pulls against the back wall 99 of the track 96 when riding on the continuous screw 93. The screw 93 itself is above the track 96. This track arrangement allows for back travel of the latch and carrier 98 when the door is closed with the latch partly or fully extended.
FIG. 14 is plan or elevation view illustrating the lock device of the invention with a spring latch as in FIG. 13A rather than a bolt.
FIGS. 13 and 13A show that the lock unit 42 a can include rows of "windows" 70 and 72 as earlier described, with sensors as shown to allow the full retracted position and full extended position to be adjusted by programming as desired.
Again, as in the bolt embodiment, the lock unit 42 a has provision for replaceable latches 80, so that a latch of proper length can be selected to accommodate different situations of doors. As apparent from these figures, a latch unit can be converted into a bolt unit, and vice versa. The latch or bolt 80 or 52 is replaced with the other. When converting to bolt, the spring 97 and screw 94 are removed. Thus, the locks of the invention are even more universal in application.
As noted above, the invention also encompasses the provision of the lock units of U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,886,644 and 5,894,277 (assigned to the assignee of this invention and incorporated herein by reference) with an improved drive system, i.e., the DC geared micromotor shown herein, in the context of those disclosed lock units which are fitted to a standard three-hole locker door prep. The use of the micromotor increases the efficiency of the disclosed lock assemblies and enables provision for adjustable bolt travel if desired, whereas this cannot be accomplished with solenoid retraction. One of the areas in which the micromotors efficiency is most apparent is its use in the spring latch models wherein the lock does not need to be continuously powered while keeping the latch retracted. The micromotor is powered until the latch is retracted and powered again when the latch needs to be extended but not in the duration of the time while the latch needs to stay retracted to allow for someone to pull and open the door. This is particularly important in the case of an operation for people with disabilities who may need longer time to pull the door.
The devices of the invention can include several other features. One feature, well known in lockers for health clubs or similar situations where keyed lockers were used, is the requirement of an enabler card to be inserted into the lock before the lock will be operational, i.e., before a day user can actually lock the lock. Typically, this was done with a membership card having a hole at a certain location in the card, the card being inserted by the user in a slot in the lock, on the inside of the locker door, the lock then being enabled. Such provision can also be included in the locker locks of the invention.
Another feature preferably incorporated in the locks of the invention is automatic "handing" of the electronic lock. Since different locker doors can open from the left or the right, the inner housing has two different positions relative to the outer housing to accommodate these two situations (i.e. one position of the inner housing is inverted). In U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,894,277 and 5,886,644, this was accommodated electrically via duplication of pin connectors in the pin connection arrangement extending through the locker door. However, with more functionalities there may not be a sufficient number of pins to accommodate this duplication and automatic opposite-handedness. Thus, in the lock devices of the invention, the motor driver of the microprocessor is programmed to determine the left-hand or right-hand nature of the lock by running through a routine when the lock is first installed. The motor is activated to move the bolt or latch, and the sensors are read to determine the sequence of events and thus to determine the direction of the movement and the handedness of the lock. The microprocessor then sets itself up to operate the lock in the correct manner.
Another feature preferably included is the ability to set the extended position and the retracted position of the adjustable throw bolt or latch via the keypad. Instructions for specific combinations are given to the owner or manager of the lockers, and this adjustable feature can be used at the site rather than being preprogrammed by the manufacturer. If the units have no keypad but use an ibutton as an electronic access device (or proximity device, infrared, transponder, etc. as noted above), the manager is provided with a series of different programming keys, one for each possible desired setting.
Still another feature is provision for adjustment of the retracted time duration in spring latch units by programming using the keypad or ibutton, proximity device, etc. This is particularly important for lockers which may be used by people with disabilities, so that the manager can select and implement a prescribed duration of latch retraction, enabling the disabled person to open the door prior to re-extension of the latch.
The devices described above include the feature that different bolts or latches can be substituted for different situations, by a simple replacement. It should be noted that this can include not only bolts or latches of different lengths, but also different thicknesses and heights or other shape features that may be relevant for certain situations. For example, the strike plate may be of different heights and depths requiring different bolt or latch configurations.
Another important feature preferably included in the devices of the invention addresses the problem of lost combination retrieval. For example, if the manager's combination for the keypad is improperly programmed, and a lock is otherwise inaccessible by anyone at the facility, the manager can enter a prescribed combination which will have been provided by the manufacturer. When this combination is entered into the keypad, the microprocessor will cause the lock to beep out an audible blind code. This audible code can then be communicated to the manufacturer, and the manufacturer will inform the manager as to the code with which the lock was programmed. In all cases, the microprocessor stores the code which was used to lock the lock. If the lock was in active use, two codes would be stored, the last-entered user code and the manager's code. The special combination could be entered by the manager in the case of a lost combination which will cause the microprocessor to issue the blind code, representing the manager's code, in audible form. This is then used to obtain the unlocking code via the manufacturer.
Another feature which may be included is a counter feature by which each unit stores the number of times it has been locked. This might be advantageous in determining the useful life of the lock and its various components.
The above described preferred embodiments are intended to illustrate the principles of the invention, but not to limit its scope. Other embodiments and variations to this preferred embodiment will be apparent to those skilled in the art and may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the following claims.

|A simple reason really. I'M EVIL!
|~ Negative Numbuh 4
Negative Numbuh 4 is the main antagonist in the episode "Operation P.O.O.L." of Codename: Kids Next Door.
He is the supreme leader of the Destructively Nefarious Kids (D.N.K.), an evil version of the Kids Next Door Organization that exists in a parallel Negative Universe, and the tyrannical ruler of that universe before his defeat.
When the main characters entered the Negative Universe through a portal in Numbuh 4's new backyard pool and Negative Numbuh 4 discovered the existence of a positive universe, he sent Eizzil Enived to capture her counterpart Lizzie in a bid to take over the positive universe.
After successfully capturing the members of Sector V and replacing them in their universe with his servants, Eeballaw revealed himself to his captives, but they mocked him on his goatee. In response, Eeballaw declares that positive Sector V and Lizzie will fight each other in the arena and all but the winner will be sent to the broccoli mines while the winner will become his "bestest bodyguard."
Negative Numbuh 86 made a weak protest, only to be harshy rebuffed by Negative 4. Nigel mocked Negative Numbuh 4 and declared that they will never fight each other and rule alongside someone who rules by using fear, so Negative Numbuh 4 orders his guards to take the prisoners to the broccoli mines.
With that settled, Eeballaw returned to the pool, waiting impatiently for his minions to secure the positive universe's pool and begin his invasion. Before he could do so, he found his minions resurfacing and greatly injured. Shortly after, Numbuh 4 jumps into the pool and enters the Negaverse, facing his negative counterpart on the diving board, with the Negative version bragging that his guards and superior intellect gave him the advantage.
However, Wallabee recognized that his foe was everything he was not; therefore, he was also an utter coward. Although Eeballaw tried to deny the accusation, Eeballaw's challenge caused him to order his guards to fire. Unfortunately for Eeballaw, this display of cowardice - coupled with a regretful Ynnaf's impassioned speech to her teammates - led to the DNK turning against their leader and realizing the error of their ways.
After a short rant about his team's betrayal, Eeballaw leaped into the portal to the positive universe, only to be kicked back to the negative universe by Eizzil. He was then apprehended by his former minions, who sent him to his own broccoli mines as punishment for his crimes against the Negative Universe.
As with all inhabitants of the Negaverse, his personality is mostly the inverse of his positive counterpart. Although both Numbuh 4s possess a short temper and a boisterous personality, Eeballaw is much more intelligent and calculating than his heroic counterpart, able to coordinate the DNK through a combination of good strategy and simple intimidation.
However, he is also extremely cowardly if confronted directly, as opposed to Wallabee's fierce courage and hot-headedness. Consequently, he is almost totally reliant on his subordinates for protection; which, given their fear-based loyalty, is entirely dependent on his ability to keep up a threatening image as leader.
Eeballaw shows no apparent attraction towards Ikuk, nor she towards him, displaying the opposite of their positive selves.

Explore Japan's Food Culture Through Films at FIU This Week
Haru teaches her new husband Yasunobu, a kitchen samurai, how to cook in the film "A Tale of Samurai Cooking" being screened this week.
©2013 "A Tale of Samurai Cooking" Film Partners
Ramen probably made the cut in your college diet.
But the beloved college repast is more than just an instant meal in a microwavable bowl. There are years of history behind the dish, and the Consulate of Japan in Miami wants to share them through film.
Through Thursday, Florida International University, sponsored by the Consulate, will show the Ramen Samurai (September 14 at 2 p.m.) , The God of Ramen (September 16 at 1:30 p.m.), The Mourning Recipe (September 17 at 2 p.m.), and A Tale of Samurai Cooking (September 18 at 2 p.m.). They will be presented in Japanese with English subtitles inside FIU's Graham Center on the South Campus, 11200 SE Eighth St. Admission is free and all ages are welcome.
"Japanese food involves a lot of Japanese culture," said Masao Takagi, current public relations consul for the Consulate General of Japan in Miami. "It's not just about ramen, but, in general, there is a process of making Japanese food that involves a lot of qualities that are important in our culture."
Takagi is from Japan and moved to Florida two years ago. He and his team create opportunities for the public to experience and become more knowledgeable about Japanese culture.
"We really want the whole community and whoever is interested
The films fuse Japanese traditional cuisine, family history, and universal themes like love, loss, family, death, to show how they are all interconnected. "The process of making food involves the Japanese mentality and way of doing things, in general," he said. "It's a deeper expression than just cooking food. It's an art."
Beyond educating, Takagi hopes the films clear up misconceptions.
"The American people think sushi is a California roll, but in Japan we never had that," he said. "We have California rolls now, but we didn't have it before. We actually got it from the United States."

Ethiopian-born Hamdi Issac, sought in connection with a failed July 21 attack at the Shepherd's Bush subway station, was charged by a judge with association with the aim of international terrorism and with possessing false documents, said Antonietta Sonnessa, his lawyer.
Sonnessa said nothing had been decided Monday concerning Britain's extradition request for Issac. It was not clear if the Italian charges would complicate extradition proceedings; Italian police said Monday that extradition would not take long.
Asked if her client was cooperating with investigators, Sonnessa said: "I wouldn't say we're talking about collaboration; he gave his statements." She said she would appeal the judge's decision to charge her client.
Police, meanwhile, described in detail how they monitored Issac's cell phone calls before arresting him and how he had falsified his name and nationality when applying for asylum in Britain.
The suspect, born in Ethiopia as Hamdi Issac, changed his name to Osman Hussain and claimed he was from Somalia when he applied for political asylum, Carlo De Stefano, head of Italy's anti-terror police, said in the first police briefing since his arrest last Friday.
"He falsely declared he was a Somali citizen to obtain the status of political refugee and economic assistance more easily," he said.
Italian police began investigating when they were informed by their British counterparts on Tuesday that one of the suspects in the July 21 attempted bombings had fled Britain and had in the past made calls to Italian telephones, De Stefano said.
British police told Italian investigators that the suspect made a phone call to Saudi Arabia believed to be aimed at finding out the number for one of the suspect's brothers in Rome, said De Stefano.
Police homed in on Issac's cell phone, locating him in Rome on Thursday after discovering that he had replaced the phone's British removable "SIM" card — which stores an individual's phone number and other account data — with an Italian one.
On Friday, the day of the arrest, police recorded conversations in which Issac talked in Ethiopian dialect used in a border region between Eritrea and Somalia, confirming his identity after sending the recordings to London to be checked, De Stefano said.
Italian police were also able to confirm Issac's identity by the presence of a wound on his right leg, which British police said was sustained as he tried to jump over a barrier to escape the London subway station following the failed attack.
Issac was being held in a Rome prison and was awaiting possible extradition. "I believe that it won't take long," De Stefano said.
De Stefano said that the investigation so far indicated that Issac was "part of a loosely knit group rather than a well structured group."
Also arrested were two of the suspect's brothers who live in Italy: Remzi Issac, in whose apartment the suspect was hiding; and Fati Issac, picked up Sunday in the northern industrial city of Brescia and accused of destroying or hiding documents sought by investigators.
Remzi Issac was charged Monday with possessing false documents, said the defense attorney, Sonnessa.
De Stefano said the brothers were not linked to any terror activity or investigation.
The failed bombings July 21 of three London subway stations and a bus occurred two weeks after the deadly July 7 attacks. There were no casualties in the July 21 attacks.
For years Italian investigators have said that Italy is an important logistics base for terror groups, especially in procuring false travel and identity documents. But recently, authorities have warned of extremist cells in Italy capable of launching an attack.

A ROSSENDALE care worker caught on hidden CCTV cameras verbally abusing and slapping a brain damaged patient at a specialist hospital has been jailed.
Lynette Crook was sentenced to seven months in prison after pleading guilty to five counts of ill treatment of a person who lacks capacity.
Crook, of Victoria Street, Ramsbottom, was recorded abusing 23-year-old quadriplegic Daniel Moran at The Priory Highbank Centre in Walmersley Road, near Shuttleworth.
Her colleague, Rita Page, 69, of Palatine Drive, Bury, was also jailed for seven months at Bolton Crown Court on Friday.
The pair were filmed calling Mr Moran a 'scummy boy', slapping him and jabbing him with a pen while they were healthcare assistants at the rehabilitation centre.
The mistreatment, which occurred between August 28 and September 19, 2012, was discovered after concerned family members installed a secret camera in his room.
Robert Golinski, prosecuting, told the court that Mr Moran has little mental capacity and cannot do anything for himself, meaning he needs round-the-clock care.
Defence barrister John Close said Crook had been called 'scum of the earth' and told to 'rot in hell' following media coverage of her crime.
At a hearing in March, Crook admitted slapping Mr Moran's leg, using abusive language and jabbing him in the head and body with a pen.
Page pleaded guilty to slapping Mr Moran on his leg and using abusive language towards him.
Judge Timothy Clayson said the pair's actions had 'belittled and demeaned' Mr Moran.
He added: "By behaving as you did towards Daniel each of you broke, in a fundamental way, the trust placed in you by his family.
"Society as a whole deplores abuse towards the vulnerable."
A spokesman for The Priory Highbank Centre confirmed that both women had been dismissed for gross misconduct.
PC Karen Sinclair, from Greater Manchester Police, said: "I hope these sentences send a clear message that mistreating anyone in care not only takes their dignity, but will lead to a criminal conviction."

Sydney, Australia (SPX) Jul 08, 2014
New research shows projected changes in the winds circling the Antarctic may accelerate global sea level rise significantly more than previously estimated. Changes to Antarctic winds have already been linked to southern Australia's drying climate but now it appears they may also have a profound impact on warming ocean temperatures under the ice shelves along the coastline of West and East Antarctic.
"When we included projected Antarctic wind shifts in a detailed global ocean model, we found water up to 4 C warmer than current temperatures rose up to meet the base of the Antarctic ice shelves," said lead author Dr Paul Spence from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science (ARCCSS).
"The sub-surface warming revealed in this research is on average twice as large as previously estimated with almost all of coastal Antarctica affected. This relatively warm water provides a huge reservoir of melt potential right near the grounding lines of ice shelves around Antarctica. It could lead to a massive increase in the rate of ice sheet melt, with direct consequences for global sea level rise."
Prior to this research by Dr Spence and colleagues from Australian National University and the University of New South Wales, most sea level rise studies focused on the rate of ice shelf melting due to the general warming of the ocean over large areas.
Using super computers at Australia's National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) Facility the researchers were able to examine the impacts of changing winds on currents down to 700m around the coastline in greater detail than ever before.
Previous global models did not adequately capture these currents and the structure of water temperatures at these depths. Unexpectedly, this more detailed approach suggests changes in Antarctic coastal winds due to climate change and their impact on coastal currents could be even more important on melting of the ice shelves than the broader warming of the ocean.
"When we first saw the results it was quite a shock. It was one of the few cases where I hoped the science was wrong," Dr Spence said.
"But the processes at play are quite simple, and well-resolved by the ocean model, so this has important implications for climate and sea-level projections. What is particularly concerning is how easy it is for climate change to increase the water temperatures beside Antarctic ice sheets."
The research may help to explain a number of sudden and unexplained increases in global sea levels that occurred in the geological past.
"It is very plausible that the mechanism revealed by this research will push parts of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet beyond a point of no return," said Dr Axel Timmerman, Prof of Oceanography at University of Hawaii and an IPCC lead author who has seen the paper.
"This work suggests the Antarctic ice sheets may be less stable to future climate change than previously assumed."
Recent estimates suggest the West Antarctic Ice Sheet alone could contribute 3.3 metres to long-term global sea level rise.
With both West and East Antarctica affected by the change in currents, in the future abrupt rises in sea level become more likely.
According to another of the paper's authors, Dr Nicolas Jourdain from ARCCSS, the mechanism that leads to rapid melting may be having an impact on the Western Antarctic right now. Dr Jourdain said it may help explain why the melt rate of some of the glaciers in that region are accelerating more than scientists expected.
"Our research indicates that as global warming continues, parts of East Antarctica will also be affected by these wind-induced changes in ocean currents and temperatures," Dr Jourdain said.
"Dramatic rises in sea level are almost inevitable if we continue to emit greenhouse gases at the current rate."

Okay Spring Breakers, how are you holding up? Last week, the big Florida schools (UF, FSU, et al) went on break and brought the party to their Key West spring break. It also reunited some of my favorite little collegiate Key West native ladies: Cassandra, Olivia, Kayla, Jenna, Lea, Annabelle, and more. This week, my alma mater the Georgia Bulldogs are on break and the town is just as packed!
So… wanna party like the beautiful native ladies do on Spring Break? Start your night at the Alamo. This bar is hidden away on a side street just off the epicenter of Duval Street's Key West Spring Break craziness. This is my girl Annabelle's favorite watering hole in town, and she told me it was the spot to escape the crowds and still have a raging party with the locals.
Sloppy Joe's is a Key West legend—and for good reason! There's always a raucous party underway. One of my most memorable nights in Key West went down at Sloppy's. There were great bands all week, as usual, and the girls couldn't resist hitting the dance floor into the wee hours.
McFadden's on Greene Street is the newest bar in town and the locals have certainly been flocking. What's a Key West Spring Break without dancing on the bar? Good thing McFadden's boasts a huge one, so the girls just had to line up to shake it! With beer chugging contests, Jersey Shore Wednesdays, and wild bikini contests, McFadden's should definitely be on your Duval crawl!
Party all night, but what to do during the day? That's easy. Of course, at Fury, we're offering parasailing, snorkeling and sunset sailing, plus our Ultimate Adventure.
For these native girls, many of whom are Fury Girls in their own right, they head out to Boca Grand or Snipes on someone's boat. The stunning sandbar islands are about twelve miles offshore. Anchor the boat, crack a beer, and splash in the shallow water all day long.
Fury has just started a brand new Island Adventure trip out to Boca Grand, so be sure to ask about it the next time you're in town!
Happy Spring Break! Be safe, do your homework, wear sunscreen, and have fun!

Why does Owen have a claw on all his boards? —Billy Higgins, Tampa, FL
"When I was grom I had a cross on my boards and then a lot of guys started putting crosses on their boards as well. So I sat down with my shaper and the designer and they were like, 'Here try this design.' It was claws—like trying to claw your way to the top. I was like 'Alright I'll run with that.' I've just stuck with it for a long time and we've come up with some cool colors to keep it new. I might change it later, but for now I like it." —Owen Wright
