Federal wildlife officers set up their portable lab at the Odawa/Battle Point Launch in Grand Haven Township on Wednesday. They took their boat out on the Grand River, where they took a variety of water samples.
"It's part of an aquatic invasive species monitoring program," explained fish biologist Tim Strakosh. "It's multi-tiered and it is going to be basin-wide. I am helping to cover Lake Michigan."
Strakosh said they were obtaining samples to test for "environmental DNA."
"We just want to get some baseline data," he added.
The monitoring program will be ramping up over the next few years to see what rivers might provide habitat for Asian carp.
"There has been no indication that there's Asian carp in Lake Michigan at all," Strakosh said. "It's proactive, establishing baseline data, and starting up this long-term invasive species monitoring program."
Due to their size, appetite and rate of reproduction, Asian carp pose a threat to the Great Lakes. They are known to consume large quantities of phytoplankton and compete with native fish for habitat.
"There's been past monitoring both by the (U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service) and the University of Notre Dame, in conjunction with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, in the St. Joseph and Kalamazoo rivers," Strakosh said.
He said the monitoring program has been expanded to include more areas.
"We are going to be resampling the St. Joe and Kalamazoo, plus the Muskegon and Grand today," Strakosh said Wednesday. "This is one of the first year's we're spearheading the whole effort, working together with our partners."
Strakosh said locations were selected in a meeting with representatives from surrounding Great Lakes states.
"We prioritized the rivers that might be at highest risk if there are Asian carp in the area, and then we ranked those," he said. "So, we're going down a list of rivers most likely — if the Asian carp are here — that they'd be present."
To help identify where the Asian carp might choose to live, the team of wildlife experts collected about 75 samples over an eight-mile stretch of the river in the Grand Haven area. They took another 25 samples from the river near Grand Rapids.
"We're looking for areas if — big if — Asian carp were in this river, where they might be," Strakosh said. "They really like turbid, fast-flowing waters with adjacent velocity breaks, so we're looking for those areas."
Strakosh noted that testing will likely be an annual process in order to keep ahead of the spread of invasive species.

R&B Superstar & Stan Lee Team Up To Create Hip-Hop Hero
Stan Lee Media, Inc. (SLM) has signed a deal with R&B superstar Mary J. Blige to create a new series portraying the multi-platinum singer as an original Stan Lee Hip-Hop Super Heroine. The Web series will be based off an animated short, featuring the Blige super persona, which shows before each of Blige's concerts. The short, created by Blige and SLM, has garnered a tremendous fan response. The agreement is modeled after Stan Lee Media's partnership with the Backstreet Boys (www.backstreetproject.com) with joint ownership of the superhero franchise. Blige will voice the lead character in the series and both parties are looking to grow the project into other media platforms. "Mary's super heroine alter ego, a cross between Cleopatra Jones and Barbarella, is an inspirational character and self-described 'Protector of the Hood,'" said Stan Lee. "I'm delighted to co-create a new Internet based global franchise with Mary J. Blige, whose international stardom has reached superhero proportions." Blige said, "I am thrilled to be working with Stan Lee and his talented staff. Having been raised on the hard streets of the city, in my case Yonkers, the chance to be transformed into a 'Protector of the Hood' sends a powerful message to my fans that your community is what you make of it, that you can be a superhero everyday." In eight years, Mary J. Blige has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide. In 1992 her debut album "What's the 411?" generated the #1 single "Real Love."

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — After all the grave concerns of the past 12 months, this is starting to look like a Teflon stock market.
Just this past week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.22% hit three record closes, and the S&P 500 Index SPX, +1.28% notched two record finishes, in addition to taking out a sticky intraday high set in 2007.
Week ahead: Citi, Google, B. of A.
Big banks and tech bellwethers will be in the spotlight when they report earnings next week, L
No matter what the news, whether it was the threat of Cyprus leaving the euro zone to an anemic jobs report, to potential North Korean missile strikes or signs the consumer is finally feeling pinched, investors were ready to buy stocks on the dips.
The apparent eagerness of bargain-hunters meant sessions that started as ugly selloffs often ended as modest declines. It's also meant that, notwithstanding day-to-day bumps, blue-chip stocks are still up 13% for the year.
The resilience, which marks a change from the past few years, has raised the inevitable worry that stock buyers have become too complacent — setting themselves up for a big shock.
There's certainly plenty of near-term headwinds. The S&P 500 is already brushing up near analyst targets for the year. And all of this is peaking just as the "sell in May and go away" crowd makes their vacation plans.
But the fact stocks kept climbing through even worse challenges (remember the fiscal cliff?) means that with each hurdle overcome, a little more confidence has returned.
"People look around and nothing's happened," said John Canally, investment strategist and economist for LPL Financial. "They say, 'I've been sitting on cash for a long time.'"
The next test for stocks comes from corporate profits. Earnings season is in full swing in the coming week with one-third of the Dow industrials reporting.
Dow components Coca-Cola Co. KO, +1.05% Intel Corp. INTC, +2.21% and Johnson & Johnson Inc. JNJ, +0.30% report on Tuesday; American Express Co. AXP, +3.25% and Bank of America Corp. BAC, +2.14% release results on Wednesday; followed by International Business Machines Corp. IBM, +2.19% , Microsoft Corp. MSFT, +2.18% , and UnitedHealth Group Inc. UNH, -0.18% on Thursday; with General Electric Co. GE, +4.04% and McDonalds Corp. MCD, +1.32% reporting on Friday.
To a large degree, however, one element has surpassed profits and political events: Central bank policy.
"People are just tripping over themselves to be long," said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG. "There's a real sense that if central bankers stay in place [stock] markets could be up 30% this year," he said, just like in 1995.
With the Federal Reserve's pledge to tie easing measures to economic performance and the Bank of Japan signaling it may stretch recently enacted easing measures for another two years, investors are under even more pressure to step into a market they've previously avoided.

I have a sinus infection which is causing pain. I also have a condition, which I have had since birth, that involves my throat and neck. He barely looked at me and said for me to go buy Zyrtec and Afrin OTC and tried to rush me out. I asked a question about possible treatments/maintenance of my chronic condition and he basically said I have no idea, I haven't heard anything about that since medical school. Very disappointed. Had to pay a $40 copay (which is a significant amount when it's close to the holidays and you are raising a family, especially when you get NO TREATMENT). Was in and out in less than 5 minutes. I expect more when going to see a specialist.

He was very knowledgeable and thorough. However, he was rather short & a little rude. I definitely felt stupid asking him questions. He was however awesome, efficient & quick with the procedures he performed on both of my children. Couldn't have asked for a better outcome. If he would only work on his bedside manner.

|Drug Patent
|A drug patent is assigned by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and assigns exclusive legal right to the patent holder to protect the proprietary chemical formulation. The patent assigns exclusive legal right to the inventor or patent holder, and may include entities such as the drug brand name, trademark, product dosage form, ingredient formulation, or manufacturing process A patent usually expires 20 years from the date of filing, but can be variable based on many factors, including development of new formulations of the original chemical, and patent infringement litigation.
|Drug Exclusivity
|Exclusivity is the sole marketing rights granted by the FDA to a manufacturer upon the approval of a drug and may run simultaneously with a patent. Exclusivity periods can run from 180 days to seven years depending upon the circumstance of the exclusivity grant.
|A Reference Listed Drug (RLD) is an approved drug product to which new generic versions are compared to show that they are bioequivalent. A drug company seeking approval to market a generic equivalent must refer to the Reference Listed Drug in its Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA). By designating a single reference listed drug as the standard to which all generic versions must be shown to be bioequivalent, FDA hopes to avoid possible significant variations among generic drugs and their brand name counterpart.
|Products meeting necessary bioequivalence requirements. Multisource drug products listed under the same heading (i.e., identical active ingredients(s), dosage form, and route(s) of administration) and having the same strength (see Therapeutic Equivalence-Related Terms, Pharmaceutical Equivalents) generally will be coded AB if a study is submitted demonstrating bioequivalence. In certain instances, a number is added to the end of the AB code to make a three character code (i.e., AB1, AB2, AB3, etc.). Three-character codes are assigned only in situations when more than one reference listed drug of the same strength has been designated under the same heading. Two or more reference listed drugs are generally selected only when there are at least two potential reference drug products which are not bioequivalent to each other. If a study is submitted that demonstrates bioequivalence to a specific listed drug product, the generic product will be given the same three-character code as the reference listed drug it was compared against.

Financing Sustainability Projects on Campus
Power Purchase Agreements
Power Purchasing Agreements (PPA) are primarily used for financing and implementing onsite renewable energy installations. A PPA is a contract between an independent power producer (provider) and private entity (buyer). The provider owns, operates and maintains a renewable energy system sited on buyer property for the life of the contract. The buyer essentially rents out a portion of their property, for example roof space, to the provider and agrees to purchase electricity generated by the system for an agreed upon price (often escalating) and time period. Where legal, a PPA can be established for almost any type of renewable electricity generation technology. Most commonly, PPAs have been used for rooftop solar photovoltaic arrays, although PPAs have also been utilized for windmill installations.
Buyers typically are property owners looking to reduce their energy costs over the long term. By entering into a PPA the buyer has a known price of electricity from a renewable source for the duration of the contract. At the end of the contract, the buyer owns a renewable system, and receives free electricity for the remaining lifetime of the system (excluding maintenance costs). In many cases buyers also are third parties such as utilities which need to supplement their load for reasons such as a requirement to purchase electricity from renewable sources, or private companies which need to meet a renewable portfolio standard (RPS), or other incentives to purchase electricity from renewable sources. Buyers always have the option of establishing a new and independent PPA to sell the electricity to a third party, such as a utility (selling the power back to the grid).
• Costs to the buyer are clearly established at the outset and fixed for the duration of the contract
• No up-front cost to the buyer to install the renewables, as the PPA provider provides the necessary capital
• Provider assumes responsibility for equipment operations and maintenance costs
• Expected volume of electricity produced is stipulated, with various, predetermined, results for generation above and below agreed upon levels
• Often is some combination of tax credits, rebates and carbon credits available to both parties, which can improve the investment profile of the renewable installation
• Buyer does not obtain the benefits of ownership of the asset (e.g. depreciation, tax)
• Arrangement results in a long-term lease on the property
• Contract terms can be long
• All-in cost likely more expensive than typical bank financing

After today's drab draw at Stamford Bridge, managers Jose Mourinho and Sam Allardyce decided to send some barbs at each other and duke it through the press in their post match interviews. First up was Mourinho as he expressed his dissatisfaction with West Ham United's style of ultra-defensive football.
Mourinho's comments to Four Four Two:
"I just told the boys it is very difficult to play a football match when only one team wants to play. Football matches are about two teams playing and this match was only one team playing and the other team not playing."
"I told 'Big Sam', and I repeat my words, they need points and because they need points to come here the way they did, is it acceptable? Maybe, yes. But at the same time I told (him) also, this is not the Premier League, this is not the best league in the world – this is football from the 19th Century."
"Cheating – I don't know if that's the right word; pretending injuries, the goalkeeper winning time since the first minute. Not after 70 minutes, the first minute. Medical staff coming on, (players) kicking long balls to nobody, 10 defenders in the box. The defenders, they didn't put one foot outside the box. It's very basic."
It is hard to argue against Mourinho as the Hammers did seem more content with hoofing the ball upfield all game and exaggerating injuries than attempting to play with Chelsea. This is something Chelsea has come to expect against smaller clubs at Stamford Bridge and is a strategy the Blues have even used on occasion. Mourinho backed off his earlier comments and said the following, "I cannot be too critical because if I was in this position I don't know if I would do the same. Maybe, so I don't want to criticise that".
While Jose took his shots at West Ham, Sam Allardyce seemed more amused than perturbed by the Portuguese managers comments. He said in his post match interview that he knew Mourinho "can't cope" with the fact that he had "out-tacticed" the Chelsea boss. Parking the bus or being ultra defensive is not exactly a revolutionary tactic but West Ham did show tremendous determination and Mourinho acknowledged that by saying "[West Ham] threw their bodies at the ball, they slid, they gave a lot, so my respect to their spirit and their effort but my team tried everything".
The rest of Big Sam's comments here:
"He can tell me all he wants, I don't give a s***e to be honest with you. I love to see Chelsea players moaning at the referee, trying to intimidate him; Jose jumping up and down saying we play crap football. It's brilliant when you get a result against him… so hard luck Jose!"
At least Allardyce showed the same awareness that Mourinho had and did not beat around the bush about what his team had set out to accomplish at the Stamford Bridge. They knew coming in they could not match Chelsea for talent and skill but they were equal to the Blues in grit and guile. It is also worth noting that Allardyce and Mourinho are friends or else this may have become the start of another managerial feud in the Premiership. It would be surprising for Mourinho to concern himself with the affairs of a team that seems set for relegation.
Video of the manager's comments here:
To add insult to injury here is a lovely stat from today's match:
39 – Chelsea had 39 shots tonight (incl. blocked shots); the most by any team who failed to score in the PL since 2003/04. Denied.

To grow more food more sustainably we need to make plants better at recruiting nutrients and water from soil to seed, according to 12 leading plant scientists writing in Nature.
Essential to this are proteins called membrane transporters. Transporters also effectively carry high-energy molecules to where they are needed, help plants resist pathogens and make plants more tolerant to adverse conditions. One challenge is to make crops do these things simultaneously.
"Just as our mobile phones will need more advanced technology to carry more information, plants will need better or new transporters to do the extra work we're going to require of them," said corresponding co-author Professor Dale Sanders, director of the John Innes Centre.
"We want plants to load up with more of what they need from the soil, making the most of what it offers."
"Or where the soil harbours salt or toxins, we want the plant to offload them or exclude them from essential cells where they could do harm."
Transporters can carry important molecules from outside to inside cells or vice versa. Recent advances in understanding how plants control these processes will help scientists create new tools to hand over to breeders.
Of the present global population of seven billion people, almost one billion are undernourished and lack sufficient protein, fats and carbohydrates in their diets. At the same time, we are close to the sustainable limit of 15% of Earth's surface that can be exploited for food production.
"We need to make the crops growing on existing agricultural land work harder," said Professor Sanders.
"Agro-chemicals are the current solution, but we can make plants better at finding and carrying their own chemical elements."
A long term goal at the John Innes Centre is to engineer cereals able to acquire their own nitrogen with the help of symbiotic bacteria. In the shorter term, nitrate transpor

2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport First Look
More Range Rover, more sport.
Following on the heels of the 2013 Range Rover, the all-new 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport made its debut at the 2013 New York auto show. Drawing heavily on the Range Rover's engineering, the 2014 Range Rover Sport blends luxury, performance, and all-terrain capability in one stylish package. It may seem a little strange to unveil a go-anywhere off-roader in New York, where few citizens own cars (and the potholes aren't that big), but Land Rover had good reason to unveil the Sport in the Big Apple — not only is the U.S. the largest market for the Range Rover Sport, the New York metropolitan area is the vehicle's top market.

text: So one of my best friends, who is a perpetual stoner like the rest of us, is turning 21 on Saturday. It should be a slammin' party. I think what we've decided is to get him some liquor, then throw in together for a giant, ornate hookah as a showpiece for their living room. (And also as a communal smoking device.) He's been talking about wanting one the last few months, and since he just bought himself a new pipe, we didn't really want to get him one of those... What I want to do is give him a few crappy presents, then give him the present with the flavored tobacco in it (so he starts to get excited) and THEN bring out the hookah as a last minute surprise. :laugh: We're going to get some board/card games, too. Because interactive games are SO much better than cable. I'm so excited for this party!

Coca-Cola is in hot water with a consumer whose daughter opened a Vitamin Water bottle with the message "You retard" on the cap. The man has another daughter with cerebral palsy.
The messages were part of a Coke promotion in Canada that randomly paired English and French words that together were supposed to make up funny gibberish phrases. But the words were only vetted in French, not English.
"Retard" in French means "late." But Doug Loates, who does not speak French, didn't see the humor.
His 11-year-old daughter, Fiona, has cerebral palsy and is fed through a feeding tube. His other, older daughter got the "You retard" message on a Vitamin Water bottle cap during a restaurant visit.
This made Loates write a letter to the Coca-Cola board of directors to express how hurtful the message felt to Fiona's family.
"She is cognitively delayed. Fifty years ago they might have called her retarded. But we know better now, don't we?" Loates wrote. "The 'R' word is considered a swear word in our family. We don't use it. We don't tolerate others using it around us. We are over-sensitive, but you would be too if you had Fiona for a daughter! Can you imagine if she had opened this bottle???"
Loates compared it to calling someone the "N" word.
"What would you do if you opened up your bottle of Vitamin Water and on the bottom of the lid it read "YOU RETARD"? Think about it. I bet you'd be pissed if you had a Fiona in your life," he wrote.
He said he'd been drinking Coke since he was nine and got his first newspaper route, but now calls himself an "ex-Coke drinker."
Coca-Cola told Metro that the unfortunate Mad Lib word pairing was unintentional, and that the random words had been reviewed for offensive meanings in French but not in English.
"We did not mean to offend at all," a Coca-Cola spokesperson told Metro. "We are certainly very apologetic for this oversight."
The spokesperson said Coca-Cola has cancelled the rest of the promotion and destroyed the remaining caps that were part of it.

I agree with this dad. We don't use that word either. And our friends/family are joining us on this decision. Please think before using this word because it is very offensive and hurtful!
Looks like Coca Coal has shown good faith in this matter, going the extra distance to destroy the offending caps and to stop the campaign. Had there been intentional harm, I believe the harm would have been greater and pervasive – but that seems not to be the case. None of us can see around the corners of our lives, and the best we can do is how we respond when we become aware of harm our actions have caused. Good job – Coke! If I had been enjoying their drink since I was 9 I would not quit them now, especially as they have shown good not bad faith. he ought to reserve his judgment for those who refuse to change and should not punish those whose intention was not harmful/
C'mon Coke, you can come up with a better one than that. Your PR person must have really scurried to hook up that excuse!
I believe Coca-Cola needs to go one step further. They need to put out PSA's educating people that it is not okay to use the "R" word in describing someone with an intellectual disability. I don't care if the harm was intentional or not. Someone in their employ okayed this pairing. Their explanation does not make sense. What sense is it to say, "YOU LATE!" Whoever okayed this in their employ needs some sensitivity training. I want to acknowledge people's good-faith efforts to try to change language. I am not going to launch a boycott of Coke just because of the incident. I have a child with severe autism and other disabilities who has intellectual disabilities as well. But it would be a good public relations to go one step further than just apologize, and use the opportunity to educate. The people-first language movement says this, "People with disabilities should acknowledge sincere efforts to change old language habits. "Politically correct" disability language is often presented in an overly oppressive way. As a result, people without disabilities, but with good intentions, may decide that trying to affirm and include people with disabilities isn't worth the effort."
I would agree that words can be very harmful. Look at the teasing (Bullying) of that girl who decided to quit life and ended it all. Words hit you in the inner part of you that make up your mind and emotions, if it builds up then it starts bring that person down. I have been taught on how to talk to and about people I will not let my grandchildren use inappropriate words. I am also a coke drinker and changed from Pepsi to Coke in 1956 or so. I was like 6 years old and next time around the sun will be 65 years. It has been a good and bad ride at times, and barely
made it at times.
My granddaughter has Down Syndrome and normally that would have been offensive to me also. We don't use that word in our world either. After I learned that the bottle cap was a mistake in judgement or lack of monitoring/reviewing on Coke's part, I would have accepted that apology and felt appreciative that they destroyed the remaining bottle caps and cancelled the rest of the promotion. That in itself would have shown me that they didn't do anything intentionally harmful. it is unfortunate that that dad had to find this particular cap and yet, I'm glad it was him so that he could address the issue!
that's just an apology, i think not. do better then that !!!! WHAT THE FRICK!!!!!!!!
This company is trying to get publicity,since they are probably loosing sales. They no better to pull a stunt like this and they did. It was totally uncalled for and very disrespectful.
I was called "Retard" throughout my childhood and adolescence. That gave the bullies an "excuse" to gang up on me, hit me, and keep me from having a seat on the school bus and the cafeteria in school. My mother told me I had a right to go to school without being beat up every day. The principal called my parents up because I cussed and swore at them. I was blamed over and over for being a victim
Now I have no tolerance for any kind of bigotry-racism, sexism or homo centrism.
Yep totally peeved/disgusted/appalled and offended. I have two sons with severe disabilities and was an avid lover of coca cola products-no more-I totally agree with this father and my heart goes out to him and his family-highly offensive word in the extreme I too cannot tolerate nor stand that disgusting insultive word and it is equavelant to hate in my opinion.
I find it hard to believe a big company like Coca-Cola doesn't have a marketing department that reviews all promotional material before it goes out. Shame on them! They will have to do much more than an apology to get my business back.
I have to agree with PBMom. Come on, Coke! Take it one step further and do a public relations campaign. Apologizing isn't enough!
I also have cerebral palsy, and I don't tolerant being called "retarded"!!! Many people with cerebral palsy have typical or above IQ's.
Pam Dahl
Coca-Cola should have done a better job at reviewing the meanings of their bottle cap messages!!
– Pam Dahl
Some of the commenters don't seem to have actually read the article: It was a mistake. They corrected it and apologized. They did not, at all, use it in the sense of calling someone a retard.
PBMom, you are correct that "you late" does not make sense, but read the article again. The phrases were intended to be gibberish; ie, not make sense.
What bothers me about these comments is that no one cares that Coke is such an unhealthy drink, and some of them call themselves "ex coke consumers" for a wrong reason! People shouldn't stop using this junk drink because of the Coca Cola's marketing faux pas, but because the drink is loaded with sugar. I personally know 2 kids who got diabetes because their parents allowed them coca cola consumption on daily basis.
I'm just reading this article and I cannot believe it. If it is a french term then why allow it to be printed on something that will be coming to the US?? The R word is so hurtful and down right disrespectful to people with disabilities and their families. My son has CP and we DO NOT use this word and we do not allow people to use the word around us. I DO understand freedom of speech but I truly think respect comes before that. I Love this dad and his push to express his pain. Everyone SAYS that they understand but you never truly do until you love someone deeply that has a disability and YOU have to be the one that has to stand up for them and care for them. It doesn't matter if you agree with the use or not, just have a little respect for those of us who have loved ones that you are insulting.
Retard does mean late in French I took it in high school this was an honest mistake. There are more important issues for DD people than a single offensive slur such as murders of DD people getting lieniant jail sentences that advocates must fight for justice such a life time jail and they should not go overboard board about the R word a mundane campaign pushed by the Special Olympics.

Title: Effects of dietary supplementation of a commercial prebiotic on survival, growth, immune responses, and gut microbiota of the Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei
Authors: Anuta JD, Buentello A, Patnaik S, Hume ME, Mustafa A, Gatlin Iii DM, Lawrence AL
Journal: Aquacult Res
Accepted date: 2013 May 13
Interpretive summary: A feeding study was conducted to evaluate growth, bacterial populations of the intestine, and immune system responses of shrimp fed diets containing a commercial prebiotic. At the end of the study, differences in weight gain and survival among study groups were not significant. However, the use of a molecular technique, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, revealed that the bacterial communities in the intestine changed significantly as affected by the presence of the prebiotic in the feed. Therefore, the prebiotic was able to modify the bacterial communities in the intestine. In addition, shrimp fed the prebiotic had a greater immune system response than shrimp not fed the prebiotic. Although in the present experiment shrimp were not exposed to virulent pathogens, the positive immune system response in shrimp fed the prebiotic suggests that an improved response to a real pathogen infection would be anticipated in the prebiotic-fed shrimp. This study is of importance and interest to shrimp aquaculture researchers and producers.

|UPDATE; 'Abducted' Woman Found--Domestic Situation
|Written by Steve Frank
|Sunday, 27 March 2011 21:49
The search for a 29-year old Johnson County woman is over, and her reported disappearance may have been a domestic situation. Johnson County Tennessee Sheriff Mike Reece said that Carrie Sue Davis was found this morning and was OK.
Her husband reported the was abducted from highway 67 near Butler as he was returning to their vehicle with gas after running out of fuel on the highway. He said that he heard his wife scream as she was apparently forced into a maroon van that fled in an unknown direction of travel. Now it appears the report was either false or misconstrued, but whether charges might come from that—not yet determined by the Johnson Sheriff's Office.

Q&A: Is there any way to make your own experimental telephone out of materials including carbon bits and a speaker?
Question by Mr. MacArthur: Is there any way to make your own experimental telephone out of materials including carbon bits and a speaker?
I saw on a television program years ago in which a man yelled into his home-made reciever, and his voice was then reproduced by a large speaker connected to the reciever. I'd like to know how he did it. Thanks!
Best answer:
Answer by Kes
The original telephone mouthpieces used a small funnel to concentrate the voice onto a thin metal diaphragm that had a metal part (pointer?) that could compress carbon bits more or less as the diaphragm vibrated. As the carbon bits compressed and decompressed their resistance to the flow of electricity varied in proportion to the compression causing current to flow in an external wire that replicated speech as an analog. The external wires were connected to the ear piece of the person receiving your message. The ear piece contained an iron rod wound with many turns of very fine insulated wire forming an electromagnet. When another very thin round diaphragm of sheet metal (attracted to magnets) was held very near the electromagnetic pole but not touching it, it vibrated in proportion to the current changes produced by the mouthpiece; producing sound waves. A power supply (DC battery) was included in the circuit to cause current to flow.
I would first try by placing the mouthpiece diaphragm horizontally over a dish of carbon bits with a pointer connected at the center of the diaphragm dipping into the carbon bits. Gravity will hold the bits in contact with the pointer. The carbon bits may rest on a conducting plate which is lead out of the dish using a connected insulated small diameter wire. A second wire would be connected to the pointer or diaphragm if they both conduct electric flow. Connect the two wires of the mouthpiece to the two wires of the ear piece including your battery in series in the circuit. Use very small voltage by adding 1.5 volt cells in series as needed so as not to burn out the ear piece. Experiment with the pointer and confinement of the carbon bits to optimize the rig.
Incidentally, both the mouthpiece and earpiece can be made of wire coils rather than use carbon bits. Try wiring two earphones together (without a battery) and you can talk in one and hear at the other. Good luck.

Fermilab Seeks Nominations for Citizens' Task Force
Batavia, Ill.--Officials at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have announced plans to form a task force of local citizens to work with the laboratory on planning for a bid to host the International Linear Collider. The worldwide community of particle physicists has proposed the ILC as the world's next large particle accelerator. If a global decision is reached to build the ILC, the U.S. Department of Energy has expressed its interest in the possibility of hosting a linear collider at Fermilab, subject to cost and scientific validation.
"Strong community involvement will be essential to Fermilab's success in bringing the ILC to Illinois," said Fermilab Director Pier Oddone. "We are seeking to engage a wide spectrum of community leaders in a Citizens' Task Force that will provide input into key aspects of planning and decision-making for the proposed accelerator."
Currently, scientists and engineers from Europe, Asia and the Americas are at work on determining the design and cost of the proposed ILC, which would require participation from many nations. Their report is expected in February 2007. The construction and operations of the ILC would play a key role in Fermilab's future and the future of U.S. research in particle physics. The ILC would occupy a 20-mile-long tunnel some 500 feet below ground.
The ILC Task Force will provide recommendations and guidance to Fermilab to ensure that community concerns and ideas are included in all public aspects of ILC design, including community issues relating to an underground tunnel, the siting and character of surface structures, mitigating the effects of construction activities, and maximizing economic benefits to the region, among others.
Fermilab seeks some 20 community members for the task force, chosen to ensure broad-based representation from local communities that would be affected by the ILC. The nomination process is open to all area residents and members of the community. Nomination forms are available from the Fermilab Office of Public Affairs at 630-840-3351 or online at http://www.fermilabcommunity.org/ilc/. Nominations will be accepted from November 13 through December 6, 2006.
Fermilab, a world leader in particle physics research, is a Department of Energy/Office of Science national laboratory, operated by Universities Research Association, Inc.

It's a lovely Monday morning, but you are feeling gloomy as you enter your office, making a mental list of things that have to be done. You greet your colleagues, who are equally preoccupied, with a nod. Then one of your peers smiles at you, and you find yourself smiling back. That's all it takes – a smile – to make you smile back and relax for a bit.
A smile is also a great stress-buster, like laughter, and that's one reason why you should smile in your office, especially if you are having a stressful day. It's as important to be happy at your workplace as in your personal life and here's why: Read more

Official: 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel gets 46 mpg
Filed under: Sedan, Chevrolet, GM, Diesel
General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel will return 46 miles per gallon highway based on Environmental Protection Agency estimates, besting original projections by some 4 mpg. As GM points out, the figure is better than "any non-hybrid passenger car in America," including the Volkswagen Passat TDI at 43 mpg and the Volkswagen Jetta TDI at 42 mpg. The Toyota Prius, meanwhile, still bests the Cruze Diesel thanks to the hybrid's 48 mpg highway rating.
Still, Chevrolet should be proud of its four-door. The car's turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine delivers 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, bolted to a six-speed automatic transmission. Drivers will also enjoy an overboost function that can crank the engine to 280 lb-ft of torque for brief stints. This all means that the Cruze will be able to travel 700 miles on a single tank of fuel, while achieving a 0-60 time of 8.6 seconds. You can check out the full press release below for more information.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - Dorchester County authorities accuse a Summerville high school teacher and coach of sending a nude photo of himself to a 16-year-old student.
The Sheriff's Office says 27-year-old Andrew Gerhardt was arrested Tuesday and charged with disseminating obscene material to a person under 18. He has been released on his own recognizance.
Deputies say Gerhardt's face and genitalia can be seen in the photo sent July 14.
According to an incident report, the girl's parents found the photo after taking her phone away as a punishment for breaking curfew.
Dorchester 2 spokeswoman Pat Raynor says the district gave Gerhardt a notice of recommended dismissal.
Gerhardt teaches physical education and coaches junior varsity women's basketball at Ashley Ridge High School.
A phone number listed for Gerhardt was not in service.

Public Housing to be Developed into 'Urban Village'
Posted By admin On April 18, 2013 @ 11:08 am In Bell Gardens Sun,City Terrace Comet,Commerce Comet,County of Los Angeles,Eastside Sun,ELA Brooklyn Belvedere Comet,General News,Mexican American Sun,Montebello Comet,Monterey Park Comet,Northeast Sun,Vernon Sun,Wyvernwood Chronicle | No Comments
The City Council approved a plan Wednesday aimed at turning Jordan Downs, a 700-unit public housing project in Watts, into an "urban village" with a mix of affordable and market-rate homes, along with retail storefronts and "pedestrian-friendly" features.
The council's 12-0 vote will set into motion redevelopment plans that include replacing the existing World War II-era housing units and constructing an additional 1,100 residential units over several decades – according to market demand – on 21 acres of industrial land purchased by the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles.
The housing authority has already spent $45 million to purchase land and prepare for the project, which is located next to Jordan High School.
The project will also include a park, community center, bicycle facility and additional retail space.
"This will be a long-lasting legacy that will live for generations in Watts, and is the first step toward improving the quality of life for all families living at Jordan Downs, where improvements have been desperately needed for a long time," Councilman Joe Buscaino said.
The project grew out of Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's $5 billion "Housing That Works" initiative to preserve 20,000 housing units in Los Angeles, and is expected to bring in 200 permanent jobs and 6,400 construction jobs, Buscaino said.
The Jordan Downs project will serve as a model for encouraging future public housing development that includes a "variety of income levels living in a community," with physical structures that are less "inward looking" and more "knit into the neighborhood around it," according to Alison Becker, Buscaino's planning director.

No evidence founders intended to limit types of weapons available
Published DateTo the editor,
In her letter of March 29, Barbara J. Perry says that she hates guns. When we hear about something like the shootings at Newtown, our hearts break and her statement is understandable. But, I think the more rational reaction is to hate the evil that people (individually, in a group, or as government) do with, or without, guns.
Does anyone hate guns in the hands of the police, our military, or someone else who protects innocent people from aggressors? In the hands of a woman wanting to stop men intent on rape or murder? In the hands of a mother trying to protect herself and her children from a home intruder?
Guns are tools, like most tools, that can be used for good or evil. Blunt instruments like hammers are used to commit at least 50 percent more murders than the weapons being (incorrectly) called "assault weapons". Would it be rational to hate hammers or pass hammer control laws?
It would be great if we all lived in a utopian paradise where everything was peaceful and wonderful. And each of us should do our part to create such a place by treating others the way we would like to be treated.
But we live in the real world where some people willingly harm others for their own purposes. Criminals ignore laws except when they can use them to their own benefit. They claim their Miranda and their Fifth Amendment rights, they demand an attorney, and they support gun control laws, which they will ignore, because they prefer defenseless victims.
Annually about a million people and many thousands of tons of drugs cross our borders illegally. It is just as easy for guns to illegally cross the border.
Despite all the talk about saving lives, the proposed gun controls won't stop criminals from getting guns. The only real question about the proposed gun control laws, is how many more innocent victims will they create?
The ultimate goal of gun control is gun confiscation, Senator Feinstein, Vice President Biden, and others admit this. The experience in other nations which confiscated guns is that there is not a reduction in murders but there is a significant increase in other crimes.
Obviously when the Constitution was written, no one had so-called "assault weapons". But, private citizens could own pistols, rifles, shotguns, a wide variety of sharp edged weapons such as knives and swords, cannons, and even heavily armed ships, the equivalent of today's aircraft carriers or battleships. So, there is no evidence that the Founding Fathers intended to limit the arms available to citizens.
Law abiding citizens use guns, usually without firing a shot, to protect themselves from crimes much more often than criminals use guns to commit murder. Thus, it would be a very bad mistake to pass any law which restricts the ability of law abiding citizens to be armed with the weapons that they can best use for defense.
