Taking a reg case and making it ROCK! (Part 2 begins on page 15) I have been modding for a while now (my first mod was here many moons ago). I have made quite a few origional cases and a few very advanced Lan boxes from Carbonfiber. In meeting many people at LANs I have noticed that 95% use plain ol reg stamped steel cases. In this log I am going to take one of those cases and turn it into a whole different monster..
last month I had a dream of an Acrylic ATX Cube with Chambers on the Side Panels with Distilled Water and Plastic Fish. when I woke up I started to jot it down then I remembered this Toy when I went to Australia to my Brother wedding it was a Acrylic Box with 2 Frogs and it was some kind of Mercury you shake it. what are the benefits of Carbon Fiber? - Christine
carbon fiber can't be cheaper? and wouldn't you have to construct the chassis out of carbon fiber plastic otherwise coating it over steel would be kinda pointless? what kind of mods are you going to do to the rosewill case? - Christine
Carbonfiber is quite a bit MORE than other materials. As for the Rosewill case I plan on making a guide for others on how to improve the cooling of their similar cases.
oh, believe me... if you haven't seen this guy on OCN.... your in for a treat! wait till you see his fans!!!
oh cool are those air ducts or just rubber trim? how do you apply the carbon fiber with an epoxy or some other adhesive? I think I would be interested in applying that on Case Panels for Scratch Resistant? - Christine
EDIT: Sorry Christine I missed this post..I mod the fans round than use a piece of rubber trim around them, it allows the fans to be swiveled to adjust airflow(and eliminates the ugly screws) The Carbonfiber is applied with a 2 part epoxy than after curing I add a 2 part Polyurethane over it to give it more depth,gloss. Ok now on to the Rosewill. As you can see its similar to many other cases, stamped steel and perforated holes for fan grills(VERY restrictive). the exhaust is made for either a 80 or 90mm fan. I plan on using two 80s as there is not enough room for a 120mm fan One thing I like is the holes in the mobo tray (good for aiding cooling of the back of the mobo) Here it is with the hardware installed The case is less deep than other cases so there is room for the 8600GTs but there is interference with the 8800GT with the Hdds I ran it for 20 min playing CSS and TF2 and the temps were NUTTS, the FX62 was in the upper 70s and the GPUs were in the 50C range. A good reason for part of the CPU temp was the crummy alum cooler but it was obvious there was poor airflow in stock form
one shroud coming right up... I am not using H20 to cool this because it is designed for people who dont want the expense or bother of H20. LOL, you cheater
*scratches her chin in suspicion* did you pencil in for a shroud or air filter looks like it. - Christine
this is just funny. it's going in fast forward. no one gets that he has this stuff done already. wait till you see the fan! damn mark, you mod fast!
Ok I disassemble the case removing the HDD rack. I cut out the back panel to fit the two 80mm fans. For painting "metal" i like to use "self etching Primer" as it grabs the metal better. Now most cases are painted or plated with some coating to prevent rusting. The coating is MUCH better than what most of us could apply so I DONT sand it all off. What I like to do is wash the parts with mild dish soap to remove surface grease (remember every time you touch the metal with your fingers it leaves a bit of grease) try to not handle the parts too much, I like to barely touch the ends/corners. After they dry I scuff them a bit with some 320grit (try to get the corners too) you dont need to work crazy hard here just scuff the surface to give the primer something to grip to. Now I put on a couple of coats of primer. There are different colors of primer (gray,red balck)too so if you are gonna paint your case white dont choose a black primer, lol READ THE CAN DIRECTIONS, this is one of the most important things. If it says paint in 70 degrees F. try to paint in 70F(as close as you can) also do not use cold paint to paint a warm part. If the can feels cold set it in a bucket of warm water for 5 min to warm it up (sprays better) and if it says several light coats are better than use a few light coats (if the paint runs thats a VERY heavy coat) A Very important Part is to let the paint dry first. I am always impatient and usually dont wait long enough, in the best case scenario will let the top coat scratch easy and worst case the top coat may dissolve the primer and make a mess. After the primer dries I lightly sand it with about a 400grit (I use what I have laying around, 320,360 400,600) Than its time for the color coat. There are basically 2 types of paint we use in cans Enamel and Lacquer. Enamel dries slower and is thicker but tends to be more glossy. Lacquer is duller but dries faster (much) and goes on thinner. If you spray lacquer over a Enamel Primer you need to MAKE SURE you let the enamel primer dry or the solvents in the Lacquer will eat up the enamel. Enamel uses a milder thinner and will not ruin lacquer primer as easy. So I like to use Lacquer for the Primer (read the can because a bunch of primers are Enamel) If you want a shiny top coat and you use a Lacquer for the color coat that you will probably need a clear top coat (again make sure the paint is dry before covering it with another paint) Some people sand the top color coat (if using Lacquer for the color coat) before adding the clear, if you do make sure its dry and us a very fine sand paper (like 1000 or 1500grit) sand it lightly(just enough to get rid of the dust or roughness) This works with Lacquer as it dries in about a half hour or less. I usually dont cover Enamel with a clear because it can take weeks for the enamel to dry.(it dries from the outside in) [
Nope I make special Silenx fans for my mods And good point Cavary, letting the paint and primer dry properly really helps to prevent easy scratches Normaly I dont mess with the top as I like air to enter the front and exit the rear. When you add side and top fans it interferes with the airflow. But in this comp I am using a NorthQ fanless PS with a mesh case (lol, liars there is a small 70mm fan inside) So I am cutting a vent (no fan) to help cool the top of the ps and allow excess heat to escape if needed I cut the hole with a pair of tin snips and lined it with molding I got from MNPCtech.com Here is a shot of the 2 80mm exhausts
Ok I grabbed a scrap of perforated alum and bent myself a grill for the exhaust fans I really like working with the perforated alum as it is easy to bend,cut and I can use the holes like a guide. Here is what the front looks like That just wont do, so out come the tin snips and now there are a pair of 120mm fans free to breath
thank you CS.. here is a shot of the exhaust fan grill and PS mounted I will be using a AC Freezer for a cooler and I like to color them a bit, here is a shot with the base coat Here it is with a bit of anodize blue finish Im not worried about painting the top plate raising temps (1st because I have done it a bunch of times before and 2 its only the top plate) Here is a shot of the modders mesh painted with the same blue notice the PS below, its mesh as well and this vent will allow heat to escape

If you're new to investigating the relationship between science and Christian faith, the Book Club is a great place to start the journey.
"I see BioLogos as an invaluable resource for parents who want to help their children grow as thoughtful, faithful Christians who make a real difference in today's world."
"We were (mostly) prepared for the academic arguments but not necessarily the thing many fear in this discussion: personal conflict."
Having won an ECF grant, Cara Wall-Scheffler, biological anthropologist at Seattle Pacific University, and I are now planning to host a group of 18 young Christian paleobiologists for a week-long seminar during late June, 2014. Our seminar will include guest lectures by scientists, historians, and pastors who all have an interest in discussing bridging faith and science 'gaps.'
Today we draw your attention to a couple of short term projects that have been completed and are now visible on our site: Our History and Small Group Resources.
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
As Christians we believe by faith that Christ was both human and divine, and although this paradox can be difficult to comprehend, it is not a stumbling block to our faith nor does it hinder us from having a relationship with him. Similarly, the Bible is both human and divine.
This week in the news: a new conversation about rifts in the Christian church (sponsored by the Colossian Forum), a 46-million-year-old fossilized mosquito turns up in a Montana lake, and more…
There is no formula for generating beliefs in people. There are plenty of people with access to the same facts who end up believing different things. But for many Christians—like the ones I heard from this week—access to information about the position we call "evolutionary creation" could make a significant difference for reconciling science and Christian faith.
"But for me, personally, it was the notes from everyday Christians that left an impact: The stories of students who felt forced (and wrongly so) to choose between their faith and reason, the stories of parents concerned their precocious young sons and daughters will have their love for science questioned by fellow Christians, and the stories of faith lost and found again through prayer and reading."
When we understand the Gospel message, everything changes (or should change) in how we interact with others. We recognize that we can no longer feel superior to others because our good works get us no closer to salvation than the misdeeds of the wicked, as all of humanity falls short of God's glory.
Zoologist Steve Roels shares a summary of his experiences listening and talking with the scientists in attendance at the Third World Summit on Evolution and also offers a reflective essay and poem about evolution, psalms of praise, Darwin, and the islands that so inspired him.
We are often offended that God should have to accomplish anything in steps, as though that made him less divine and all-powerful. But engaging a child can be a fruitful remedy for the biases that have been woven into the fabric of our thinking over time.
Its questionable treatment of science and scientists—with an attack mindset and a goal to make scientists look stupid—causes me to advise extreme caution. Bluntly, I see this video as counter to our evangelistic mission.
The world is not full of items stamped "made by God"—the Creator is more subtle than that—but there are two locations where general hints of the divine presence might be expected to be seen most clearly. One is the vast cosmos itself, with its fifteen-billion-year history of evolving development following the big bang. The other is the "thinking reed" of humanity, so insignificant in physical scale but, as Pascal said, superior to all the stars because it alone knows them and itself.
With so many issues to discuss, Christians can easily get the feeling that science is always attacking the faith. It is essential to balance such conversations with positive responses to God's creation. After all, the primary response to the natural world in the Bible is to praise the God who made it.
"Many homeschool parents contact me or show up at my office and quietly say, 'Is there anything besides Young Earth Creationists?'"
… whatever their reason for homeschooling, evangelical families who embrace modern science are becoming more vocal about it—and are facing the inevitable criticism that comes with that choice.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "A blend of 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Malbec (52% Chalk Hill, 45% Alexander Mountain Estate and 3% Bennett Valley fruit), the 2008 may have even greater intensity and richness than the 2007. Still young and unformed, it exhibits phenomenal richness and equilibrium as well as a finish..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2008 vintage presented challenges for Cabernet Sauvignon, but this Cabernet Franc-based blend succeeds wildly. It's bone dry, tannic and enormously complex, with flavors of sour-cherry candy, red currant, licorice and spicy cola. Ninety-five percent new oak lends this a wonderful toastiness...
Cellar/Tasting Notes Not surprisingly, the 2006 is a bigger, more muscular, less charming effort displaying unbridled power, full-bodied richness, and notes of new saddle leather, black fruits, roasted herbs, and burning embers. Powerful and rich with sweet tannin, low acidity, and more structure and density than the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Good ruby-red. Nuanced aromas of blackberry, minerals, licorice and wild herbs; a bit more medicinal in character than the 2008 version. Quite closed and inexpressive following the recent bottling, but concentrated dark fruit flavors show a lovely light touch, with mineral and floral notes..

Editor's note: This story is part of a series "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed--Scientific American's Take."
In 1974 I matriculated at Pepperdine University as a born-again Christian who rejected Darwinism and evolutionary theory—not because I knew anything about it (I didn't) but because I thought that in order to believe in God and accept the Bible as true, you had to be a creationist. What I knew about evolution came primarily from creationist literature, so when I finally took a course in evolutionary theory in graduate school I realized that I had been hoodwinked. What I discovered is a massive amount of evidence from multiple sciences—geology, paleontology, biogeography, zoology, botany, comparative anatomy, molecular biology, genetics and embryology—demonstrating that evolution happened.
It was with some irony for me, then, that I saw Ben Stein's antievolution documentary film, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, opens with the actor, game show host and speechwriter for Richard Nixon addressing a packed audience of adoring students at Pepperdine University, apparently falling for the same trap I did.
Actually they didn't. The biology professors at Pepperdine assure me that their mostly Christian students fully accept the theory of evolution. So who were these people embracing Stein's screed against science? Extras. According to Lee Kats, associate provost for research and chair of natural science at Pepperdine, "the production company paid for the use of the facility just as all other companies do that film on our campus" but that "the company was nervous that they would not have enough people in the audience so they brought in extras. Members of the audience had to sign in and a staff member reports that no more than two to three Pepperdine students were in attendance. Mr. Stein's lecture on that topic was not an event sponsored by the university." And this is one of the least dishonest parts of the film.
At the Crossroads of Conspiracy
Ben Stein came to my office to interview me about what I was told was a film about "the intersection of science and religion" called Crossroads (yet another deception). I knew something was afoot when his first question to me was on whether or not I think someone should be fired for expressing dissenting views. I pressed Stein for specifics: Who is being fired for what, when and where? In my experience, people are usually fired for reasons having to do with budgetary constraints, incompetence or not fulfilling the terms of a contract. Stein finally asked my opinion on people being fired for endorsing intelligent design. I replied that I know of no instance where such a firing has happened.
This seemingly innocent observation was turned into a filmic confession of ignorance when my on-camera interview abruptly ends there, because when I saw Expelled at a preview screening at the National Religious Broadcasters's convention (tellingly, the film is being targeted primarily to religious and conservative groups), I discovered that the central thesis of the film is a conspiracy theory about the systematic attempt to keep intelligent design creationism out of American classrooms and culture.
Stein's case for conspiracy centers on a journal article written by Stephen Meyer, a senior fellow at the intelligent design think tank Discovery Institute and professor at the theologically conservative Christian Palm Beach Atlantic University. Meyer's article, "The Origin of Biological Information and the Higher Taxonomic Categories," was published in the June 2004 Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington, the voice of the Biological Society with a circulation of less than 300 people. In other words, from the get-go this was much ado about nothing.

Sen. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., and Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., were part of a group of U.S. senators to introduce a bill Wednesday to preserve Saturday mail delivery.
The measure may provide the Postal Service with new options to make money by permitting services such as notarizing documents, issuing hunting and fishing licenses, and allowing beer and wine shipments, Sanders said.
The legislation, which was simultaneously introduced in the U.S. House by Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., would also prevent mail-sorting centers and rural post offices from shutting down.
A commission of successful small business and labor representatives would be created to recommend other directions the U.S. Postal Service could pursue to remain relevant in an age of electronic mail.
Sanders said the Senate bill also seeks to repeal a 2006 law that mandated the post office pre-fund 75 years of future health care benefits for retirees over 10 years.MORE IN This Just InKILLINGTON Skiers young and old can take a trip into the sports past during a screening of the...

Location: The Regional Center at The Carolina Commerce and Technology Center (COMtech) - Pembroke, NC
Campus Map
The University of North Carolina at Pembroke provides leadership, education and advocacy to make Southeast North Carolina the best place to live, work and visit. The UNCP Biotechnology Facility will provide a "Theory-into-Practice" environment for:
The University at North Carolina is proud to announce the completion of its Biotechnology Research Facility located off campus at the Carolina Commerce & Technology Center Park (COMtech). This new 5,000 sq. ft. facility consists of laboratories for fermentation, chemistry, molecular biology and other life science technologies. The UNCP Biotechnology Research Facility has the capacity to address research problems in all sectors of biotechnology: agriculture, manufacturing, environmental and biomedical.
Fermentation is the term used to describe any process for the production of a product by means of the culture of microorganisms or cells. Fermentation is often thought of as the "first step" in many biotechnology processes. Organic biological molecules, microbes, therapeutics, enzymes, antibiotics and vaccines are all produced using fermentation. Fermentation products can be either:
This fermentation technology (PDF - requires Adobe Reader) applies chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, computer science, engineering, physics and business. It is our goal to establish a UNCP Biotechnology Facility at the research/bench scale, expandable to the scale of a manufacturing pilot plant.
"The demand for new and improved commercial products increasingly will be met through bioprocessing, a type of advanced manufacturing that involves chemical, physical and biological processes employed by living organisms or their cellular components." (Biotechnology for the 21st Century, USDA)
"Our success as a nation depends on strengthening America's role as the world's engine of discovery and innovation," said President Obama.
"Biotech is the future of this state," North Carolina Lt. Gov. Beverly Perdue proclaimed at the opening session of Biotech 2002, the 11th annual gathering of North Carolina's biotechnology community, May 20 in Research Triangle Park. As published in the BT Catalyst, Dr. Charles Hamner, Ph.D., retired president and CEO of the North Carolina Biotechnology Center, announced that "we are just now entering the exponential growth phase of this industry" and that "the best is yet to come." Dr. Hamner stated that the biotechnology industry would need to quadruple its biomanufacturing capacity in the next few years to keep pace with the development of emerging biological products. Dr. Hamner indicated that this demand will translate into as much as $5 billion in capital investments. Biomanufacturing "is a huge opportunity," and the state that provides the necessary infrastructure and trained work force "will be the next growth state in this country." The University of North Carolina at Pembroke is setting the stage to become a part of that growth.
The UNCP Biotechnology Facility houses laboratories, classrooms and offices for faculty, students and academic and industrial partners. Laboratory spaces include:

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
So the American trucking association's latest report is Alex.
And it shows that we have some -- year over year results let's drill down on their right now joining me to -- scroll up a little bit.
Is -- a Fox Business exclusive as American trucking association president and CEO former governor of Kansas Belgrade's bill.
Thanks so much for joining us I mean are a lot of conflicting numbers in this report we see month over month gains on a seasonally adjusted basis it's down what.
The big take away for you.
Well I mean I think not Melissa dubbed the economy's a little schizophrenic having you can find good news you know bad news in the situation almost everything you look at we.
December was okay it wasn't great I mean we feel pretty good about some of the retail sales numbers the housing starts.
Factory output those things -- positive but that -- the downside is is that the fourth quarter is a whole.
Actually was down vis a vis the third quarter of of of 2012 and it was a it was a down considerably compared mobile.
To the last quarter of 2011.
Again were kind of moving sideways and and we are not overly optimistic about where we're moving into Tony thirteen -- -- do you see this strength and where to see the weakness.
Well I mean obviously.
We we see a little strength in auto sales we see a little bit strength again in in the housing starts -- -- like I don't know how that will hold up in light of people -- slightly higher taxes as some of the things that are going on with the uncertainty.
Coming up on May eighteenth and how we deal with the debt ceiling the potential for.
The federal government to shut down and I think many people underestimate the significance of the federal government as a part of you know what drives -- the US economy.
So what could they be doing anything to make things better what -- what can turn things around from attracting perspective.
Well I think in recent history.
Any time are our leaders here in Washington make.
You know get a decision made.
Even if it's now what everybody likes or agrees with that the more certainty there is in the business community the more likely -- to see investment in people.
You know making plans about moving forward I mean I think it's too early to tell how how consumer confidence and consumer behaviors going to be impacted.
By the by the tax increases I mean everybody saw the 2% hit.
On the payroll tax say expiration.
What little less than 1% on the the health care cost so.
So we just don't know yet and that that impacts us directly because we move a lot of retail goods by truck.
But eat a lot of people out there think that the economy is getting better slowly but surely -- data not show that I mean especially when we look at -- seasonally adjusted.
You know then then you seen.
Really numbers sinking.
Well the the the total tonnage that we moved in 2012 was up about 2.3 percent.
-- in 2011 it was up about five point 6% so we clearly saw a slow down.
From from from twelve to the verses eleven.
You know it's too early to say what we expect -- thirteen we actually expected to be pretty flat we only expect coming out of December to have about 1% GDP.
And it again if we just keep moving sideways and we don't gives -- -- good news out of our federal government we could move sideways throughout the year yeah.
All right so great thanks so much for come -- time -- that my pleasure Melissa.

Original Message
Hi, You can call me "FUTUREHOPE". I live in orange county California...I am connected to money and power here in OC as well as long term preppy families. I grew up in private schools. My family is politically connected.
I was one of the top students in my college. after awhile I was approached by several professors and 1 more student. We had discussions similar to the teachings of the lluminati....I met a girl at the college and we fell in love...After that,one day she basically told me she was in a cult and that they set-up our relationship to recruit me ,however should could not betray me...the other student basically told me the same thing. She asked me to help get her out of her cult. Their were other people who asked me the same thing..the evil ones have followed me 24 hours...tapped my phones...turned or blackmailed all my friends/families..because no one will help me..they just hang up very scared??
I found out that everyone of the people I have met in the last year are in this cult.teachers/friends/cops/etc...they set a whole life up with fake friends etc most of them actually began to like me and didn't want to betray/kill me...it has been a very long term setup..years in the making and lots of money and people.... I just wanted to help the girl/others and now this..The weird part is I contacted connections within the CIA-homeland security-FBI-mossad....MY only hope is the connections I made with these agencies before this ...I really want to help these people...Yesterday I was told by my people that the White upper class Illuminati is in full support of me. my college studies are mostly technical sciences...computer hacking...radio science..communications...
this cult has followed me for days yet the weird
part is they haven't killed me yet...they just follow me and stalk me...I can tell when they listen to my phone cuz ill say on the phone im going somewhere and when I get there ..they are already there? plus every once in awhile they have a female friend of mine call me and I found out that she has been a witch the whole time...I have talked to many of their witches...they all ask if I really love this girl or if it is a scam...the witches call me and are very interested in finding out if I really love her?
THEY all have positions in academia/law enforcement/governmemt/freemason lodges/witchcraft covens. The witches think I want the girl for secret information however I told them I just want her for love...some think im a agent trying to get her to testify....
I DO HAVE very high connections to military intelligence agencies from several bases...however they wont meet me in the field unless they are in the background...watching...Im sure at this point their is a DRONE above me at all times...I am too valuable...
however im terrified snd exhausted...they closed my bank account and im running the streets, my rich friends wont help? I keep telling them I just love the girl and do not care what they are involved in but they wont leave me alone..some of the witches I talked to believe I love the girl others think im an agent..I have a few questions...
WHY wont they kill me? Is this just some Illuminati initiation game? it is very real...This cult approached me..not the other way around...

From Nature magazine
At the Olympics, how fast is too fast? That question has dogged Chinese swimmer Ye Shiwen after the 16-year-old shattered the world record in the women's 400-metre individual medley (400 IM) on Saturday. In the wake of that race, some swimming experts wondered whether Ye's win was aided by performance-enhancing drugs. She has never tested positive for a banned substance and the International Olympic Committee on Tuesday declared that her post-race test was clean. The resulting debate has been tinged with racial and political undertones, but little science. Nature examines whether and how an athlete's performance history and the limits of human physiology could be used to catch dopers.
Was Ye's performance anomalous?
Yes. Her time in the 400 IM was more than 7 seconds faster than her time in the same event at a major meet in July 2011.* But what really raised eyebrows was her showing in the last 50 metres, which she swam faster than US swimmer Ryan Lochte did when he won gold in the men's 400 IM on Saturday, with the second-fastest time ever for that event.
Doesn't a clean drug test during competition rule out the possibility of doping?
No, says Ross Tucker, an exercise physiologist at the University of Cape Town in South Africa. Athletes are much more likely to dope while in training, when drug testing tends to be less rigorous. "Everyone will pass at the Olympic games. Hardly anyone fails in competition testing," Tucker says.
Out-of-competition tests are more likely to catch dopers, he says, but it is not feasible to test every elite athlete regularly year-round. Tracking an athlete over time and flagging anomalous performances would help anti-doping authorities to make better use of resources, says Yorck Olaf Schumacher, an exercise physiologist at the Medical University of Freiburg in Germany, who co-authored a 2009 paper proposing that performance profiling be used as an anti-doping tool1. "I think it's a good way and a cheap way to narrow down a large group of athletes to suspicious ones, because after all, the result of any doping is higher performance," Schumacher says.
The 'biological passport', which measures characteristics of an athlete's blood to look for physiological evidence of doping, works in a similar way to performance profiling (see 'Racing just to keep up'). After it was introduced in 2008, cycling authorities flagged irregularities in the blood characteristics of Antonio Colom, a Spanish cyclist, and targeted drug tests turned up evidence of the banned blood-boosting hormone erythropoietin (EPO) in 2009.
How would performance be used to nab dopers?
Anti-doping authorities need a better way of flagging anomalous performances or patterns of results, says Schumacher. To do this, sports scientists need to create databases that — sport by sport and event by event — record how athletes improve with age and experience. Longitudinal records of athletes' performances would then be fed into statistical models to determine the likelihood that they ran or swam too fast, given their past results and the limits of human physiology.
The Olympic biathlon, a winter sport that combines cross-country skiing and target shooting, has dabbled in performance profiling. In a pilot project, scientists at the International Biathlon Union in Salzburg, Austria, and the University of Ferrara in Italy, developed a software program that retroactively analysed blood and performance data from 180 biathletes over six years to identify those most likely to have doped2. The biathlon federation now uses the software to target its athletes for drug testing.

Wasn't going to post back to your sarcastic comments but want everyone else to realize that I never said anything about the show itself ~ just that the OP might get more notice from HGTV by posting in the Fan Forum his dis-satisfaction with the many repeats ~ that was his initial question and point of his thread.... I never once commented on the show itself - said it was fake or anything else ~ in fact, I am a fan. | ||||

Leann -
Being search number 548,000 or or even 72 doesn't get traffic to your site.
Of course you are right. I realize that the only list that really matters is the first 30 or so to be found/ranked. It is certainly my intent to try to move up, but I am frustrated that I cannot seem to get to first base, even with this forum's great advice.
Anyway, I did some of the queries you recommended and came across www.links4trade.com. I'm intrigued. Any idea how well they work?
Thanks again.

Christopher Caldwell, Author of 'Reflections on the Revolution in Europe'
Annette Young meets Christopher Caldwell, Author of "Reflections on the Revolution in Europe" and Senior Editor at The Weekly Standard. The touchy subject of Muslim immigration to Europe has become an electoral issue across the continent, especially here in France which is heading towards a presidential election next year.

Disregarding certain aspects
by Anonyme - 11/10/2011 - 12:45
Having just read several chapters of Mr. Caldwell's book, I must say that he seems to disregard several aspects of the Muslim way of life in Europe. Most of the exemplified incidents are not caused by the individuals involved in them being Muslims but merely because they are living in almost segregated communities with certain basic rights not granted; or they do not have equality of opportunity to obtain these rights. He might not have started out to be the author of a bedside book for European rightists, but his reasoning seems to me as a very polished Hitleresque style. Ignoring the existence, history and contributions of Muslims and Islam in Europe is a giant ignorance that Caldwell seems to have taken on. Rather than just getting statistical data and referring to incidents from outside, he better get on his way to the European countries with majority of Muslim communities dwelling.
Congratulations on finally

Nice light
By Snooie
from Reading, PA
The lantern is a little larger than expected. The light is nice and soft, could be a little brighter on its maximum setting. I purchased the rechargable battery pack after seeing the flimsy AA battery holder. The pack is nice in that there is integrated wiring to allow charging without removing the batteries.

Ohio State has experts in every field on campus collaborating to find cures for cancer and solve the toughest medical challenges confronting us today. More than 300 researchers in 11 university colleges are focused on creating a cancer-free world.
Joel Mayerson, MD, director of Musculoskeletal Oncology at Ohio State, led a surgical team that performed an innovative surgical procedure on a 13-year-old male with a rare cancer called osteosarcoma. The youth had a large tumor located just above his knee. The surgical team removed the tumor and portions of the upper leg. The team then performed a rotationplasty procedure to rotate patient's leg, so that the calf muscle now serves as the thigh, and the ankle and foot act as the knee and shin, connecting to a lower leg and foot prosthesis. Mayerson explained in several news reports how this procedure enhances the youth's mobility and participation in athletic activities such as baseball.
Researchers at Ohio State are studying whether simple nutritional intervention – adding cholesterol to the diets of children with autism spectrum disorders after a test to see if they need it – can improve core autism symptoms. In excess, cholesterol can be harmful, but a certain amount is crucial for the proper development and maintenance of the brain. So it stands to reason that lower levels of cholesterol, particularly during crucial periods of growth, can lead to mental dysfunction, said principal investigator L. Eugene Arnold, MD, a child psychiatrist at Ohio State's Nisonger Center who specializes in researching and treating autism.
Researchers have identified characteristic patterns of molecules called microRNA in the blood of people with lung cancer that might reveal both the presence and aggressiveness of the disease, and perhaps who is at risk of developing it. These patterns may be detectable up to two years before the tumor is found by computed tomography (CT) scans. The findings could lead to a blood test for lung cancer, according to a Carlo Croce, MD, professor of Molecular Virology, Immunology and Medical Genetics, and director of the Human Cancer Genetics Program, who helped lead the study. The findings were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
A synchronized chain of six kidney transplants at Ohio State resulted in an ideal match for three women and three men. The surgical procedures that resulted in the exchange of kidneys between 12 patients required two days to complete and more than two months to orchestrate. The six-way, single-institution transplant was the first and largest to date in Ohio and one of only a handful that have taken place in the United States. The transplant chain was started with an altruistic kidney donation.
A multidisciplinary team of Ohio State surgeons created a living bone and metal pelvis for a patient who had chondrosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. The surgical team removed the patient's left leg, hip and pelvis, and used the healthy, living bones from his amputated leg to completely rebuild the connection between his spine and remaining right pelvis to support a high-tech prosthetic leg. The surgeries, which enabled the patient to walk again, involved hundreds of support staff.
Ohio State recently joined the ranks of about a dozen medical centers in the nation with a team in place to perform pancreatic islet cell transplantation, a procedure that can dramatically improve the quality of life for people with diabetes. In January, a Columbus-area woman underwent this unique medical procedure, which is expected to eliminate her need to take insulin to control her type 1 diabetes. Ohio State had been preparing for the highly specialized procedure for more than seven years, says Amer Rajab, MD, PhD, a transplant surgeon who led the team. The procedure may ultimately provide a cure for the disease.
Critical care researchers at Ohio State sought to determine whether zinc is metabolized differently among critically ill adults who became septic within 24 hours of admission to an intensive care unit, and those who were critically ill but not septic. Sepsis is a toxic disease that is the leading cause of hospital deaths. The team, led by critical care specialist Beth Besecker, MD, discovered that the way the human body redistributes zinc, an element vital to physiological function, is predictive of disease severity in those who are critically ill with sepsis. The results were published in the June issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Earlier this year, Tricia Wharton gave birth to a healthy baby girl and underwent successful skull-based surgery to remove a large malignant tumor from her sinus cavity – all within the same week. Even more remarkable – she has no visible scars on her face from the extensive surgery to remove the tumor. The surgical team of experts at Ohio State's Cranial Base Center worked with Wharton's obstetrician to carefully monitor both Wharton and her unborn baby as they developed a plan to treat the mother while protecting the baby.

A new study identified a gene mutation that researchers estimate dates back to 11,600 B.C., making it the second oldest human disease mutation yet discovered. Researchers with the OSUCCC – James led the study and estimate that the mutation arose in the Middle East some 13,600 years ago. Only a mutation seen in cystic fibrosis that arose between 11,000 and 52,000 years ago is believed to be older.
The investigators described the mutation in people of Arabic, Turkish and Jewish ancestry. It causes a rare, inherited vitamin B12 deficiency called Imerslund-Gräsbeck Syndrome (IGS). The researchers say that although the mutation is found in vastly different ethnic populations, it originated in a single, prehistoric individual and was passed down to that individual's descendents. This is unusual because such "founder mutations" usually are restricted to specific ethnic groups or relatively isolated populations. The findings were published in the Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases.
New research at Ohio State shows that a less-toxic combination of a targeted immune-based drug and a chemotherapy drug can produce long-term remissions in some chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients. This occurs without increasing the risk of later therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia, which can often occur with a three-drug combination used to treat these patients. The study was reported online in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
A study led by Ohio State cardiovascular researchers uncovered a key mechanism that controls blood vessel health and is likely to play a role in high blood pressure, heart attacks, stroke, and atherosclerosis. They describe a molecular switch that causes the endothelial cells that line blood vessels to either promote vascular dilation or constriction. The findings may lead to new therapies for high blood pressure, also known as hypertension, or improved vascular health in people at risk for cardiovascular disease. The research was published in the journal Nature.
Treatment using a novel gene therapy agent proved to significantly improve motor skills in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease, says Matthew During, PhD, of Ohio State's Department of Molecular Virology, Immunology and Medical Genetics. The Ohio State study, published in the journal Lancet Neurology, was the first randomized, double-blind study to provide definitive clinical proof that gene therapy works in the human brain. Patients involved in the study received either a placebo infusion of sterile saline, or the study therapy, which is the glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) gene delivered within a protein shell. GAD makes a neurochemical called GABA that helps restore chemical balance in areas of the brain where Parkinson's disease causes abnormal levels of activity.
Cancer cells in rapidly growing brain tumors must adjust to periods of low energy or die. When energy levels are high, tumor cells grow and proliferate. When levels are low, the cells grow less and migrate more. Researchers at Ohio State have discovered the switch responsible for this grow-or-go behavior, and the molecule might serve as a biomarker to predict how long patients with the brain tumor glioblastoma multiforme will survive and may serve as a target to develop drugs to fight these tumors. Watch
New research at Ohio State shows that oncolytic viruses, which are engineered to destroy cancer cells, might be more effective in treating deadly brain tumors if equipped with an enzyme that helps them penetrate the tumor. The enzyme, called chondroitinase, helps the cancer-killing virus clear its way through the thickets of protein molecules that fill space between cells and impede the virus's movement through the tumor, say researchers at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute who conducted the study. Their findings were published online in the journal Clinical Cancer Research.
Rather than a "one-size-fits-all" treatment plan, researchers at Ohio State say lung cancer patients should receive care based on their specific diagnosis, individual genetic makeup and particular tumors. Watch
