It's a shame woot... That Thinkpad on Woot looks tempting, but I'm not buying until this disaster is straightened out.
I didn't think Woot was hit by the tornado this spring, but the web site seems to indicate otherwise.

I wonder if they will hear the sound of users leaving.
Agree. Woot user and loyal daily visitor since 2006. Now sadly it is not only harder to use, but looks like every other shopping site on the net. And comparing to MSRP doesn't help the deals look better. I am less and less interested in visiting and will likely find a new favorite place to visit while drinking my morning coffee if things dont get better soon.
Also agree with those wondering where the WOOT staff are? No comments, no reassurance, no acknowledgement, just big corporate silence.
Your visitors MADE YOU WHO YOU ARE. WE CAN JUST AS QUICKLY UNMAKE YOU.
Loose sight of that at your peril.
Web design 101,..
Don't put MORE crap between the customer and the info/product/purchase they want.
Based on the discussion group the majority of people hate this change, what's interesting will be to see what you do about it.
Woot was the one deal, then it spawned all the other woot sites and there was only marginal dislike (because we get that you want to make money) and the new woot stuff was off to the side out of the way and was occasionally interesting, the main thing we came here for was the same. That formula worked.
But you had to go introduce this and I can only be reminded of McDonald's "Adult Taste" campaign where they tried to make it seem like a clown was anything but a mascott to get kids in the door.
You're woot, just be woot. If you go down this road soon you'll be just like any other online store, but I thought the whole point was to NOT be like all the other online stores.
*Sitting back and waiting to see if the overwhelming majority of your user base gets listened to.*
I get it. You want to stay up on the trends, and integrate with other branches of your company, and other revenue streams. Don't. That's not why we come here. I was telling my brother yesterday to check out woot, then caught myself and told him not to visit till this beta thing passed...
The re-design makes Woot look like the bastard child of Amazon.com - busy, cluttered and full of items I have no interest in.
Oh, wait! Woot IS the bastard child of Amazon.com - congratulations, now you look like it too.
Funny, I'm not one to leave feedback, but I stumbled across this when googling "Woot site redesign fail". I had to see if it bothered anyone else as badly as it bothers me....
Clearly, it does.
Woot, I can honestly say I will never buy from you guys while the site looks like this. Its a complete and total disaster. I have no idea where to look, I dont want to have to work to impulse shop, totally ruins the experience.
Been wootin since been wootin since been wootin, no more I suppose
I'd like to know whose bright idea was to take the ONE thing that separated woot from the thousands of other retail websites out there (simplicity) and to entirely throw that out the window in favor of yet more internet noise.
This reeks of a new regime wanting to put their own stamp on things for the sole reason to justify their having a job.
It would be like new Apple CEO Tim Cook adding a bunch of extra buttons and switches and logos and flame decals to the iPad...because 'more is better' now apparently.
Sometimes the best way of doing a job is staying out of the way of success and letting things thrive. In the words of Al Pacino in Glengarry Glen Ross: "What you are hired for, is to help us. ... Not to F**K US UP!"
Digg V4. Google it.
Ugh! Did Woot go corporate or what? Why not place more adds and hide the content -- that's a good idea!
I totally agree!
nuclearscan wrote:It seems like every instinct and sensibility that went into making woot has been abandoned. Woot's success has been as much about creating a culture as it was about the actual products. It is now indistinguishable from any other mass reseller out there. When you demote your main (description) to a thin slice at the top, and even worse hide it behind a 'read more' button, it tells the reader you believe most people find the info useless, so we'll hide it here for those that want it. I'm not a web designer, but that's the perception I get as a customer.
I really dislike the new design, but I don't care about that so much as the annoying pop-up requesting I log in every single time I visit the site. Seriously, I only want to log in when I purchase something or need to flame you over a design change.
The new design sucks.
I suppose I should add more detail. Woot is supposed to be one day, one product. You've just crappified the interface.
Seriously. The worst.
So the comments all seem to agree that this is a disaster, yet the Woot staff is unusually silent. Matt? Thunder? Bueller?? Anyone?
They need to add the tracking link back in the order shipped email. So much simpler.
PS too many posts to read so if someone else said this sorry.......
anyone else getting redirected when they use a android device? i keep getting redirected to chances to win an ipad?
Well said!
Also where the hell did my monkeys in my email go......
needlnerdz wrote:Wow - perhaps there are those who love chaos, but I find the new website a complete loss of navigation, focus, and most of all- that great personality and sense of humor that was easy to find and read. I know woot was bought x years ago and this is obviously the streamlining of the website and branching it out beyond belief to sell overstock in every category one can think of.. but the brand was been completely washed out. I used to check the site on a daily basis both for the products and funny descriptions.. but I think those days are over as the new page is simply too loud/busy and trying to do too many things all at once. Sorry for the lack of love - but I think a good thing has just been lost.
Bring back the old site (or at least part of it...)! It's a pain having to click through to get details on the item. That REALLY needs to be fixed. The Read More information needs to be on the same page as the product. If you fix that, I'll still love you.
Still haven't fixed the screen size. Bye woot, nice knowing ya.
Woot, may I make a suggestion? Along the lines of Coke Classic, how about a classic.woot.com page? It wouldn't be hard to build - you have all the original elements in the new format, just a lot of extra junk. Let the users choose.

Yes! This is the only way I can see myself continuing to come to the Woot pages at all.
This may have already been mentioned but you can use www.woot.com/today to see the current woot similar to the old format.
this is right on the money...i can understand a little polishing or slight changes...but the site is COMPLETELY redesigned...NOT good...im going to miss going to woot on my bookmark menu with ONE CLICK and being able to see the product write-up right there...on the front page. i don't recall there being any problems with the old site. were there problems? only 'problems' i ever noticed was a server issue, and that wasn't even a problem!, that was just bottleneck bandwidth...so as i see it, there was no problem with the previous design, so this was all done for no reason. why change just to change? that makes no sense to me, woot is now just like everything else...and that really bites, this site was my getaway from the sensory overload of other online retailers...not anymore i guess.
make it right, put it back the way it was, do your customers and loyal supporters right and fix this nonsense.
Please go back to the old site design. This one is awful. Too much text density. Less is more.
Pleeeeeeeese go back.
You had it all – the full, clever story, product specs, pics that didn't take you to another page, a sampling of comments that just whetted the whistle for more, and attractive ads to help pay the bills … ALL ON THE SAME PAGE!!! Why mess with that??? KISS - Keep it simple, stupid.
That's all I've got to say about that.
grumb wrote:So the comments all seem to agree that this is a disaster, yet the Woot staff is unusually silent. Matt? Thunder? Bueller?? Anyone?
What are they gonna say? The truth? You don't want to hear it, trust me. Here's a taste:
"We regret that our beloved regulars hate the recent changes. Nevertheless, we're really less interested in maintaining a cult following than we are in catering to the masses, so we're not that sorry to see you go. Plus we think you'll probably end up ordering stuff anyway, even though you won't have as much fun here as you used to."
Thank you for taking the time to listen to our feedback. Personally CHANGE is good. Too much change is bad. I came back from a 8 day vacation and I didn't even recognize the site. I do like the tabs at the top of the page that makes it easy to switch between pages.
I very much dislike the ads. There is way too much confusion below. I realize you (the coders) worked very hard to make the new design. I would really like the simplicity back. I will continue to woot with this new design but I would like a little bit of the old design back. Bring back the description please. I always enjoyed reading those and I hate to read. Again thank you for taking the time to read my feedback.
One of the things I liked about woot was it was so simple. Additional pages were added for shirt.woot, kid.woot, home.woot. All of that was cool cause you could simply go to that page. But now, everything on the website is so crowded and busy that I am beginning to hate looking at it. I thought it would get better with time but NO. I think it is getting worse. PLEASE go back to something simple.

I guess I hadn't seen this. Yep, woot.com/today is pretty close. It'll be my new bookmark!
DaveD1420 wrote:Too much on the page. It looks like AOL threw up.
Actuàlly, it's Amazon throwing up.
It's the end of the Woot, as we know it.
It's apparent that a majority of the people posting, other than the "certified user interace engineer," don't care for the site design. "Loving the hate." (Really, that's the goal with designing a user 'interace?')
Anyhoo, that's the majority of people posting. Posts don't matter, they don't care about what people say.
At the end of the day, how do the sales numbers look? That is the only thing that is important.
Posts are theory, sales numbers are quantifiable and can be measured.
Stop expanding the Woot. You're corrupting the Woot. The beauty of the Woot is one product, one day and you can click on it and make a 10 second decision on whether or not you want to buy it. With all these other websites you guys are coming up with, I'm halfway expecting to come in one morning and see an entire Sears catalog of stuff.
Normally I would count myself as one of the huddled masses who gripe, complain, and moan at the slightest of changes. I mean seriously, we like the warmth and safety our little cacoons of familiarity. It makes us feel all warm and cozy for things to stay exactly the same and never change or progress. Besides that, it takes real effort to learn something new and lets face it - as a whole - the huddled masses are really just a bunch of lazy fat asses. We don't want to actually have to work at anything. Why the heck do you think we spend all day surfing Woot while we are at our "jobs"?
With that being said though, I have to admit that you guys did a great job on this redesign. I'm really impressed! The overall flow and design so intuitive that even a member of management could probably figure it out (or at least that's what we let them think). The Woot Plus items are a nice touch too. Keep up the good work!
5 years customer, $2,300 spent...and you can lose them with terrible web design and no response to negative feedback from (what appears to be) the majority of the community.
I never won a Bandolier of Carrots, but I did get to witness your Bulimia of Creativity.
Call me when you get cleaned up...

Now that's a quality post right there and probably as close to the truth as we're going to get in regards to the feelings of the staffers (at least until they speak out for themselves).
I HATE it.
Why make it MORE complex and tedious to use.
The old Woot, simple, whoosh ... scroll wheel ... see what I want.
New Woot, constantly throws login in my face, makes me click extra I Want One button when I don't know if I want one because I haven't seen the freaking description yet.
Why screw up a good thing with this POS.
"Ok design team, we NEED more ads on the front page, how can we go about that but still appear to be 'bettering the user experience'".
I feel like this is what the design folks were tasked with, and this crap is what you got.
Fill up the front page with crap and ads, hide the actual content behind "read more".
Really? Very transparent. People here are clearly not foolish fools and see through that.
The new design is terrible. I can't believe that it made it to beta testing. It strikes me as odd that no one at Woot! said, "hey, we might have too much crap on the front page. Do you think we should trim it down?"
I'll just stick with using Woot! Watcher for now.
This site is a bad move. It is way too cumbersome to use now. Plus I do not like the log in immediately coming up when I go to the main page.
Why are you trying to drive me away Woot? Why :-(
After giving this a few days before casting judgment, I don't see any real improvement. Things seem cluttered, and I'm afraid that it will really be awkward trying to view this on my netbook (purchased from Woot) that I use to monitor the Wootoff at work. How about adding a minimalist way to view Woot for smaller devices like my netbook, phones and tablets?

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) today announced the award of $2.4 million to start six new Centers for Research on Applied Gerontology. The Centers are designed to move promising social and behavioral research findings -- in such areas as computer skills, driving, exercise, caregiving, and nursing home care -- out of the laboratory and into programs that can help improve the lives of older people and their families.
The centers will be established at: Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green, Ky.; University of Miami, Miami, Fla.; New England Research Institute, Inc., Watertown, Mass.; Hebrew Rehabilitation Center for Aged, Boston, Mass.; and Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y. The sixth center is a consortium of the University of Georgia, Athens; Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta; and Memphis State University in Tennessee.
Several of the centers' projects feature collaboration between scientists, major corporations, and organizations involved with older people. Findings from the research will be tested with several organizations, including Ryder Systems, IBM Corp., Hartford Insurance Co., and the American Association of Retired Persons. With the aging of the workforce and the growth of the mature market, companies are seeking ways to more effectively meet the needs of older employees and consumers. Researchers will also work with nursing homes, home health agencies, and other groups on projects aimed at providing better health care.
Authorized in 1993, the centers were conceived by retired Congressman Edward R. Roybal, then chairman of the House Select Committee on Aging. They are part of the NIA's mandate to foster research aimed at keeping people independent, active, and productive in later life. "We have some very good research in the social and behavioral sciences. But we need to stimulate efforts to make this research directly useful to people in their daily lives," says Robin A. Barr, Ph.D., chief of the Cognitive Function and Aging Section, NIA. "Cognitive research on aging, for instance, can be applied to change some of the ways that computers are designed and computer tasks are taught. That way, older people will be able to use the machines effectively, an increasingly important skill at work and at home." Barr, Marcia Ory, Ph.D., and Katrina Johnson, Ph.D., of the NIA's Behavioral and Social Research Program, are project officers for the centers.
The principal investigators and their projects are:
Karlene Ball, Ph.D., Western Kentucky University -- The two major projects of the Center to Enhance Mobility in the Elderly are designed to promote independence by maintaining and improving skills needed for safe driving. Ball will build on her earlier work, which suggests that a measure of visual attention, called Useful Field of View (UFOV), may help predict driving competence. Scientists will test a training program for improving UFOV and examine the program's impact on driving performance and driving records. Ball is working with several state motor vehicle departments, Hartford Insurance, the AARP, and several medical schools across the country. A second project will look at the driving performance of older adults before and after cataract surgery to study how improvements in visual function affect driving experience.
Sara Jane Czaja, Ph.D., University of Miami -- Two initial projects at the Center for Human Factors Engineering and Aging Research will focus on work performance, transportation, and living environments. A study of computer skills among older people is based on earlier work by Czaja and others, which showed that older people had significantly longer response time and more errors when using computers. The project will identify the causes of the age-related differences, and scientists will develop ways to redesign training or the work itself to improve the performance of older adults. Once a program is developed, it will be tested at IBM, Ryder, and Prudential Health Care. The second project, investigating cognitive and perceptual abilities needed for driving, will test the use of a driving simulator against traditional classroom instruction for improving driving of older people.
Alan M. Jette, Ph.D., New England Research Institute, Inc., (NERI) -- The NERI Center of Research on Applied Gerontology will look at how physical activity can be promoted to improve function and quality of life for already disabled older people who live in the community. With previous studies indicating that older people drop out of exercise programs within a year, researchers from NERI, Boston University, Brandeis University, and Massachusetts General Hospital are collaborating to develop and test behavioral techniques specially designed to change people's resistance to exercise. They will evaluate a program combining exercise and behavioral interventions aimed at achieving long-term participation in the exercise program. A second field project will assess behavioral interventions for reducing the fear of falling among older adults.
John N. Morris, Ph.D., Hebrew Rehabilitation Center for Aged -- This Center of Research on Applied Gerontology will work with several nursing homes on "functional independence" for nursing home residents. The project addresses goals for independence under rules recently adopted by the Health Care Financing Administration, whose Medicaid program pays for nursing home care for many older people. Morris' project will test ways, including organizational changes, for nursing homes to systematically reset priorities to meet new requirements and needs. A second project focuses on long-term compliance with exercise regimens for frail, older nursing home residents. It will test behavioral approaches for changing the typical nursing home staff's acceptance of an exercise program so that it can be maintained over time.
Denise C. Park, Ph.D., University of Georgia -- The Southeastern Center for Applied Cognitive Aging Research is a consortium of the University of Georgia, Georgia Institute of Technology, and Memphis State University. It will study the ability of older adults to function in situations important in daily life, such as taking medications properly and using computers and automatic teller machines. Park's work will develop profiles of people who do not take medication properly, and will provide clinicians with proven strategies for combating the problem. A second project will look at the use of the computer as a social support system, examining how older people use the computer's electronic bulletin boards and other features.
Georgia Tech scientists will design training systems to help older adults in using automated teller machines and public transportation, and in handling Medicare and Medicaid rules, procedures, and bills. Training will be designed so that it can be generally applied in a variety of potential problem areas. Researchers will be working with National Cash Register and other companies.
Karl Pillemer, Ph.D., Cornell University -- The Cornell Center for Research on Applied Gerontology focuses on the social integration of older people in three key areas. Pillemer will investigate the role of social supports for caregivers of relatives with Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Other center projects will study the transition to retirement and its implications for paid or volunteer work following initial retirement, and how transportation issues affect social integration of older people outside urban areas. Researchers expect to work with several major corporations based in central New York.
The social and behavioral gerontology centers are the second group of centers to apply research sponsored by the NIA. The Institute's Claude D. Pepper Older American Independence Centers test specific ways to prevent disability and promote physical well-being for older adults.
The NIA is one of the 17 National Institutes of Health. It conducts and supports basic, clinical, epidemiological, and behavioral and social research on aging and the special needs of older people.

Outlook for Mac can automatically set up accounts from many popular ISP, as well as email service providers like Outlook.com (previously known as Hotmail), AOL, Gmail, MobileMe, and Yahoo.
If Outlook can't set up an account automatically, you can configure it manually. When setting up manually, you'll need additional information about your account, for instance the account type and addresses of mail servers. Outlook supports both POP and IMAP accounts. To learn more about each account type, see POP account basic settings and IMAP account basic settings.
If you have a Microsoft Exchange account, see Add an Exchange account.
Add an email account
On the Tools menu, click Accounts.
In the lower-left corner of the Accounts dialog box, click Add , and then click E-mail.
Enter your email address and password, and then click Add Account.
If the Add Account button is unavailable
Enter the information about your account, including the following required fields: User name, Type, Incoming server, and Outgoing server. If your email service requires Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for either the incoming or outgoing server, select the Use SSL to connect check box for that server.
Use the information from table below for Outlook.com accounts:
Incoming server
imap-mail.outlook. com
Port for the incoming server
Outgoing server
Port for the outgoing server
When the process of adding the account is complete, the account appears in the left pane of the Accounts dialog box, and Outlook begins downloading your messages.
Your email service provider may require you to enable POP or IMAP access through its Web site before you can use the account in Outlook.
If you add a POP account and another type of account, messages from the POP account appear in the Inbox under On My Computer in the folder list.
With POP and IMAP email accounts, email messages are the only items that are synchronized between Outlook and the mail server. Other items that you create in Outlook — such as contacts, calendar events, tasks, and notes — are stored on your computer, not on the mail server.
To delete an account, in the left pane of the Accounts dialog box, select an account, and then click Delete . When you delete a POP account, existing messages from that account remain in Outlook, but no further messages are downloaded or sent. When you delete an IMAP account, all messages from that account are deleted from Outlook, but any copies of messages that you have on the server remain there. Items other than messages, such as contacts and events, are not affected when you delete a POP or IMAP account.

Another tethering app slips past Apple's sorting tables.
To my knowledge, this only works on Macs. If you get it to work on Windows, leave a comment.
PayUpSucker is an app in the App Store that claims that all it does is create emails reminding people of I.O.U.'s and U.O.Me's. What sources are discovering, quickly, is that the app is actually a tethering app which is cloaked by a hidden identity as an I.O.U. reminder app. The app can currently be downloaded here in the App Store for 99¢ and if you want to try it, you better try it fast because once Apple figures out what it does, they will pull it, following the same demise as other tethering apps that have been caught on the App Store. One of such apps was Handy Light, which pretended to be a flashlight, however a certain combination of tapping colors would activate the tethering function that would allow you to share your 3G connection with your computer.
Of course, like jailbreak tweaks such as MyWi 5.0, and TetherMe, this app tethering function is fully functional on iOS 5. This app works without a jailbreak, so check out this guide if you want to try it. Just remember that it is against your carrier's T.O.S. to do this, and if you get reprimanded we are not at fault *You chose to try this.*
Begin by trying the app for yourself.
- Step 1: tap on "IOU."
- Step 2: type, "Its my data" without the apostrophe in the word, 'its.'
- Step 3: notice the loading circle to the left of the screen. This means it's in tether mode.
Next, go into your System Preferences on your Mac and click on "Network." Click on your network name and select, "Create Network." Name it something, for example, "tether."
Next, connect your iPhone and the device that you want to tether to the tether network. For this guide, we are using an iPhone and tethering an iPad to the network. Go on your iPhone and on the network you made named tether, tap on the blue arrow at the right of it.
Next, tap on the, "static" button and input:
- IP address: Static
- IP address: 10.0.0.13
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Next, start up your PayUpSucker app and follow the instructions on the image below:
Next, go on the device you wan to tether to; in this case an iPad, and enter this information in the same section of the network settings that you did on the iPhone:
- IP address: Static
- IP address: 10.0.0.8
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
- HTTP Proxy: Auto
- URL: http://10.0.1.13:8080/Socks.pac
Now you're all set. Good luck with your tethering! Don't get caught. Like most tethering apps, the more you use it the more likely you will get burned. If this worked for you, leave a comment below!

text: Howdy ya'll,I am new to beekeeping. I have had 5 hives since last April and have enjoyed every minute of it. I have learned new things every day and am eager to learn more. I am an avid organic gardener and vermicomposter. I love anything that has to do with outside. I live on a small town in Central Texas and have horses, chickens, rabbits, dogs and worm farm. The main reason I started keeping bees is for the pollination. Second is of course the interaction with them and thirdly, is the amazing honey. I have been doing Apitherapy for 2 months now for a newly diagnosed bone spur and arthritis in my left hip. I am 47 years old and I feel I am too young to be down and taking drugs on a daily basis. It has helped tremendously and I only do it when I start having pain. I am eager to learn more and talk to other beekeepers and hear how they manage their bees. Of course they aren't "ours", they are just ours to keep. They are amazing. Hope to talk to you soon. Have a great day and thanks for allowing me to be here.

Council of Europe Anti-Racism Commission to prepare report on Luxembourg
Strasbourg, 18.03.2011 - A delegation of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) visited Luxembourg from 7 to 11 March 2011 as the first step in the preparation of a monitoring report. During its visit, ECRI´s delegation gathered information on the implementation of the recommendations it made to the authorities in its previous report in 2006 and discussed new issues that had emerged since.
The delegation held meetings with representatives of all relevant ministries and other competent authorities, national human rights structures and NGOs.
Following this visit, ECRI will adopt a report in which it will make a fresh set of recommendations on measures to be taken by the authorities to address racism, racial discrimination (i.e. discrimination on grounds of "race", colour, citizenship, national/ethnic origin, religion and language), xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance in the country. Among these, three will be revisited two years after the publication of the report as part of an interim follow-up procedure.
In its 2006 report, ECRI recommended to the authorities to include in the criminal code a provision enabling judges to consider the racist motivation of any offence as an aggravating factor, to provide the National Council for Foreigners with sufficient resources to perform its tasks and to find a solution that would allow Muslims to practice their faith under the same conditions as other religious communities.
ECRI is a human rights body of the Council of Europe, composed of independent experts, which monitors problems of racism and intolerance, prepares reports and issues recommendations to member states. For more information on ECRI: www.coe.int/ecri

Saki Mafundikwa:
Ingenuity and elegance in ancient African alphabets
From simple alphabets to secret symbolic languages, graphic designer Saki Mafundikwa celebrates the many forms of written communication across the continent of Africa. He highlights the history and legacy that are embodied in written words and symbols, and urges African designers to draw on these graphic forms for fresh inspiration. It's summed up in his favorite Ghanaian glyph, Sankofa, which means "return and get it" — or "learn from the past."
This talk was presented at an official TED conference, and was featured by our editors on the home page.

you'll be happy with an S70, just try to get one for around 3k and spend the other 500 on things like strut seats, tires and general overhaul.
They are not that bad at all to work on and the build quality is pretty amazing. That 850 wagon looks like a keeper. I would jump on that before somebody else does. also the paint jobs on these cars are fairly solid. somebody painted the bumpers on mine and it doesn't quite match but it doesn't bother me all that much considering that the car is a daily. order some factory spray cans from paintscratch.com and have at it. the volvo support forums for diy jobs are pretty damn good too.
the lpt in my car is impressive and it's just a much more refined car than my 9-5 Aero was, although the Aero was better looking, handled better and was faster, working on the Saab was a bitch. The Volvo is fairly straight forward.
After owning one for four weeks I can really see why there is such a following for these cars. I really like the feel the steering, the seating postion, the comfort level and the power from the 2.3 lpt. Feels like a high output V6 but with much better mpg.

Yeah, seriously. I realize there's an opportunity cost to making just one choice, but that 855R seems like a no-brainer as long as the A/C works and he flushes the trans fluid before you pick it up.

I may be going to look at this next weekend:
1988 E28 528e. Everything I know about the M20s in a slightly larger package... 1988 so it's a SuperEta motor. Easier to bump up to 170-190bhp thanks to using nearly everything from the M20B25s 170hp but with softer cams and valvetrain. Upgrade the cams and valvetrain, change out the fuel injectors and get the right ECU and you can get a 2.7L with quite a bit of oomph.
My wife even doesn't hate it.

I love the M30, but I'm ultimately familiar with the M20 and upgrading it to 190ish HP isn't that expensive. That said, if it falls through, I'll look at some M30 powered ones too. They're tanks
That said, even the standard supereta motor goes reasonably well AND it gets ridiculous gas mileage. in the 30s on the highway.
with the supporting i mods I mentioned above, redline would increase to 6900rpms
if you leave the eta alone and put JUST a chip in it, yes 5300rpms.
Though this is a SuperEta, so the redline is already 5500rpms
I asked him to send me photos of the rust.
here's the ONLY spot that concerns me:
the other are the front door edge and the front fender.
You can see all the photos here:
My lady's previous car was a 1987 528e. It had a Conforti chip and shorter diff gearing, so it had some get up and go. It would get OK mileage at highway speeds, but around town it sucked down gas like crazy.
These cars also eat front suspensions for breakfast. Seriously. Check for front end wobble at highway speed during the test drive.
I would also replace the steering wheel if it hasn't been already. The stock ones are HUGE.

Last fall when the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce unveiled their five big ideas for moving the metro forward, they named life sciences as one of them. More specifically the initiative is branded as "Growing Kansas City's Medical Research, From Discovery to Cure." The overarching goal of this big idea is to make KC a nationally-recognized center for translational research.
Translational research is the hot new area in the life sciences. It means moving discoveries from the laboratory bench to the patient's bedside.
Patrick James, managing director of Quest Diagnostics, is leading the Chamber's Big 5 life sciences effort. He was the emcee at a major gala dinner last week to celebrate the work of the Kansas City Life Sciences Insitute. Over 600 guests gathered to hear from area scientists.
Sometimes though it takes an outsider to put your accomplishments into perspective. The gala's keynote speaker was the deputy director of the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center in Boston, Dr. David Livingston. Nick Haines sat down with Dr. Livingston to untangle the complicated subject of translational research.

Frankfort Fishing Report
Tuesday, June 11
First time the boat has been in the water in a few seasons. So major shake down. Boat ran perfect but i'm having issues with the happy troller plate. I can't get it to release properly. Took a while to finally get it down and then got my speed right.
Weather was great, seemed to be calm when we left camp at the Timberline Campground. Wind was SSW at about 6 and the harbor was nice but we wanted to get out and around the bend for browns but even with the low wind there were big rollers and I had an 11 year old on board, so that wasn't happening.
So we trolled the harbor. Put in about 2 hours of trolling. Back to the dock before dark and made it just in time as the wind switched to SE and really kicked up. Made getting to the dock a challenge with just me and the kid.
We long lined for a while first with body baits but nothing on them. Marked large schools of bait and then fish at 15-25 feet.
Anyway, had one shaker, one got off and landed one. All in the same location off the Coast Guard station inside the harbor headed toward the city docks. Every fish came when I was adjusting the cannonball depth from 30 to 15. Every fish hit an orange crush with the exception of the shaker on a monkey puke. All spoons, 12 feet behind the ball.
Water in the bay was about 65 degrees at the surface. Sub temp was all over the place. 50-65 degrees.
Of the boats I talked to that went out of the harbor, they had not caught anything and said it was rough out there.
Wednesday, June 12
Kings are starting to come in but really spotty. Had one on between the stub piers tonight but somebody did a crappy job with the net and trying to steer and coach a 11 year old on how to reel. Came on a Kavokien 15 back, 20 down. Had the riggers pop 2 more times but nothing there (maybe it's time to sharpen some hooks) and a small smallmouth was riding a body bait for who knows how long.
Seas are going to be pretty rough Thursday with this storm coming through. Got some rain Wednesday evening. We think we'll skip it and let the girls have a shopping day and us guys will hit Best Buy and the sporting goods stores in TC.
Friday is supposed to be perfect. We'll be out first light headed south along the shore first for browns.
I know, pics or it didn't happen.....
SoggyPaws back on the water again finally!

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
Hi Guys,
I saw this video during the course of listening to TWiP. Is there any parasitic truth behind this phenomenon?
Amazing Podcast. You guys are revolutionizing education.

Please do a TWiP on Baylisascaris procyonis

TWIP 26 on the schistosomes was equally interesting. I did some serious thinking about a swimming episode done in Cam Rahn Bay, Vietnam in 1971, but never had any problems, yet. I heard that shistosomes either stopped or prevented invasion of Quemoy and Matsu Islands by the Chinese by wading across an isthmus probably in the early 1900's. Neat analogy with Schwarzenegger.

I think most wild salmon are caught at sea. Would any parasites they picked up as youth in rivers stick with them then?
I've been told that from an economic/environmental point of view Alaska does a very good job fishing (and not overfishing) for wild salmon. That's one reason I buy Alaskan wild salmon. I don't think I'll stop, but most of what I buy is canned and cooked. Or smoked. I do like salmon sushi occasionally, though... hmmmmmm.

I came across an organism named Naegleria fowleri while I was going off on tangents from a wikipedia search.
This looks like an interesting organism for your podcast, (assuming it is considered a parasite.)
Thank you,

Prof Despommier:
In your excellent TWIV 22 about hookworms you noted that after the Civil War lethargy was a major problem in the South due to hookworm infection. My local newspaper today contained a long article about difficulties US troops have in training and working with Afghan troops, stating in part that "...American forces often characterized their Afghan counterparts as drug abusers and thieves who were also incompetent, corrupt and lazy with 'repulsive hygiene.'" Do you know of parasites in that part of the world which could lead to a person being seen as incompetent and lazy, especially if they have poor hygiene, or if studies have been made to identify prominent parasites in Afghanistan or that region? No other details about these characteristics were offered in the article, so we don't know, for example, if the repulsive hygiene description is by necessity, due to cultural differences, or laziness.

Dear Vince and Dickson
Following the release of TWiP #27 (Trematodes) I attended grand rounds at our hospital where an interesting case was presented that was coincidentally relevant to this recent episode.
A middle aged man presented at our hospital with severe liver dysfunction and was eventually found to have a Fasciola hepatica infection (a single egg was seen in a stool sample). The CT and NMR scans clearly showed tracks of necrotic tissue in the liver but the most impressive graphic was a video of the gall bladder ultrasound where multiple flukes could be seen moving in and out of the field of view of the scanner.
The presenting infectious disease registrar believes the source of infection was fresh watercress consumed with a traditional Lebanese dish of raw beef (Kebbeh nayyeh). The watercress was obtained from the patient's friend in Forster on the Northen New South Wales coast, in sheep country.
Apparently there have been other cases of F. hepatica infection including one in Melbourne associated with cultivated watercress.
I am still catching-up on old episodes of both TWip and TWiV. I look forward to hearing more about molecular hydrogen generation by parasites. Is anybody looking at cloning the enzymes involved in this pathway for commercial exploitation.
Keep up the amazing effort guys.

Professor Despommier,
I realize both you and Dr Racaniello are concerned about public health issues, but this seemed at first glance to be of greater interest to a parasitologist than a virologist. However, please don't prevent Vince from commenting. So, may I get your comments about this Thirstaid Bag from Britain (http://www.bwtechnologies.com/thirstaid_how.html). Despite its small size it looks like another possible item for my emergency equipment box for use in a local disaster, or for travel anywhere water quality is questionable. It's compact, tough and lightweight and has a filter shelf life of 5 years. Of course some iodine pills or small bottle of clorox would be much cheaper, so is it a cost effective item? I wonder, also, how temperature affects the filter and also how a user in the field could test the water it produces to verify filter effectiveness. For example it could be on the shelf for 4.5 years and have just produced some 200 or 300 liters of water out of its 350 maximum. The manufacturer says the filters are stamped with a production date and once placed in use are effective for a year, or I presume, the 350 liters. Let's say the bag and a 3oz bottle of clorox are stored in a car glove box or car trunk in Florida for 2 years and then in Massachusetts for 2 years, before a need for them occurs. Do you think both will be as effective as when produced?

Dear Vincent and Dickson,
I have finally caught up with all the TWIP podcasts! In October, I will start a position as an assistant professor in host-pathogen interactions at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Calgary. My background is in biochemistry and bioinformatics. I completed a PhD at the University of Edinburgh on genomics of parasitic nematodes and a postdoc in Toxoplasma gondii at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. In my new position, I hope to return to nematodes - if the funders will permit me!
Although my work is focused on genomics, I readily see the importance of classical parasitology, e.g. taxonomy and systematics, cell biology and ecology. In recent podcasts, Dickson has referred to the end of the golden age of parasitology and the closure of parasitology departments. Rest assured that there are still groups of Young Turks telling anyone who will listen and shouting at those who won't about the importance of all aspects of parasitology, not just DNA-sequencing.
I want to thank you both for your efforts in TWIP - I continue to learn a lot, especially the history and social aspects. With respect to the basic biology, I am continually blown away by the invasion and survival mechanisms of these parasitic critters. Trying to understand them better is what gets me out of bed in the morning, that and a cup of tea!
Listening to Robert Gwadz was inspirational and I look forward to hearing from other legends in the field.
best wishes
Faculty of Veterinary Medicine,
University of Calgary

Labrum tear halts Patton's season
Labrum tear halts Patton's season
"His rotator cuff was clean," said Baltimore manager Dave Trembley, summarizing the results. "He should be a candidate for a throwing program in the instructional league and should be fine to go in Spring Training [in 2009], so that's a positive."
Patton's case has been followed closely because he was one of the main pieces involved in the Miguel Tejada trade. The Orioles have known about his injury since before they finalized the deal, but they brought Patton to Spring Training in the hope that a restful offseason would heal his shoulder and skirt the need for surgical intervention.
Patton went four months without throwing but was never able to shake his discomfort in the early days of Spring Training. He was held behind many of his peers to refine his stuff in non-game settings, but Patton eventually opted to shut things down and see a doctor. An arthrogram revealed the extent of his injury, and Patton went to Los Angeles for a final opinion.
The final examination and resulting surgery were both done by orthopedic specialist Dr. Lewis Yocum. Patton said earlier in the spring that he hoped to get things cleaned up and return to form by the beginning of next season. Now, he'll have to go through months of rehabilitation and strengthening exercises before he picks up a ball again.
Patton, who has a 27-28 record and a 3.01 ERA in 82 Minor League games, is still just 22 years old.
"It's kind of disappointing to miss the season," he said earlier in the month. "But I'm kind of anxious to get it over with, and hopefully feel better and pitch better next season, have a little bit more velocity than I've been pitching with, and I'm looking forward to feeling good throwing a baseball."

I was wondering if anyone out there carries the p229 on a regular basis and could offer up their opinion on it. Also What would be a good price to look for. Any help would be great. Thank you

I was wondering if anyone out there carries the p229 on a regular basis and could offer up their opinion on it. Also What would be a good price to look for. Any help would be great. Thank you
Also if it's a ccw weapon how do you carry it? Inside waist band or out? What type of holster?
It is in my rotation...DeSantis OWB......JJ
i dont carry the p229 but i do carry the p225 or actually the p6 (west german police version)... it is dimensionally a twin of the 229 but about 6oz lighter due to the p6 being a single stack.
it is my daily carry and since its a midsize semi, it can be concealed on most non super model types. i cant recommend sigs enough and the p220 family is the best of the best in my opinion.
as for the price, i cant help ya, i hate buying new guns, i would rather buy a used one dirt cheap and spend a little time refurbishing and cleaning because my labor is free to me. and since i dont give a rats ass about shiney new bling, my guns all look like work guns and shoot like they should.
i usually oc but no matter if its oc or cc, it lives in a yaqui slide right there outside
Here is my opinion: http://www.handgunforum.net/sig-saue...ess-elite.html
I do feel the 229 is too big to CCW. It may be easier in the winter when more clothes and bulkier clothes are worn but to me its has too much mass to comfortably be discrete about.
I carry P229R everyday in a Tucker HF2 OWB. It conceals just fine. Summer I usually wear shirt tail out and in winter a jacket covers nicely. If I rotate it, it is with a P6 or a Beretta 92fs Centurian.
good choice, high capacity, whether 9 or 40/357.
i personally don't like the sig long da, 1st trigger pull in a sd/hd situation & carry a glock 30, which is about the same size as a 229 & the 220 compact.
g30, 220c3 compact, 229.
When I bought my P229 , I was led to believe it was carried by many , many , MANY policemen and policewomen .
I carry a 229 SAS in a Blawhawk leather IWB with no problems at all.
I carry a 229 enhanced elite in a crossbreed super tuck IWB. I don't think the 229 is too big for CCW, however I would recommend a non elite model because the beaver-tail digs into my side whenever I'm sitting down.
I got a leather Blackhawk IWB as well fits well and carry all the time with no problems. love it...
I just bought my sig 229 e2 model. I got mine for 709.00 in Arizona brand new. I do carry it every day in a blackhawk iwb with no problems. I am about 5"8" 180 lbs. and it fits me well easy to conceal.......
OWB in Kramer MSP. IWB in a Sparks VMII. I love my 229.
I've briefly carried OWB in a Blackhawk Check Six holster at 4:30-5:00. However, I recently got an El Paso Saddlery Combat Express belt slide holster, and I think it may end up being my primary CC holster. Under a untucked shirt, jacket, even an unbuttoned sport coat OWB at 3:00. I'm recovering from shoulder surgery, so I haven't had a chance to wear the belt slider out yet.
I love almost all SIG's, and there are thousands of people who carry a 229 every day. It's a great model, and if you ever really need it, it will shoot a little better, with more rounds, than a 239. It's a little thick for concealed carry, but you get used to it. Try different holsters, including leather, kydex, OWB, IWB, supertuck, etc., etc. You'll find one that you like.
i had my 229 scoprpion in a high noon iwb and yes it is a noticble size but very managable. the beaver tail does need to be shifted a bit when sitting down.
i also carry the p938 as well.

Arsène Wenger admits Manchester City's home advantage may pay dividends in Monday night's crucial derby.
Manchester United head to the Etihad Stadium three points clear of their local rivals with just three matches of the season remaining.
City have a stronger goal difference, however, and Wenger believes a tight affair may be decided by Roberto Mancini's side's home comforts.
"I don't know who will win it but I agree that City have the advantage," said the Frenchman. "If you want to be champions you have to win against your main opponents at home.
"They have the advantage to win at home, to play their game at home. You would say that it is an advantage. If you ask Manchester United if they would prefer to play at Old Trafford then they would say yes.
"City still have difficult games left. But they have an unexpected chance, they were completely out of the race. You would think this time that the momentum goes a little bit for them.
"But Manchester United can always respond. It will be interesting to watch and for me it is very difficult to predict who will win."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Some of the other members have mentioned numbers upwards of 120 lbs, while Beth, and some of the others down in the bannana belt seem to get by with about 30 lbs. Finman leaves about 10 lbs of honey, and feeds about 50 lbs of sugar, so you can see it is very climate dependent, .
I read a little about putting menthol in at wintertime. Is this to keep out disease/parasites?.


text: So even though i have a replica on order, i found this at a REALLY good price and just couldnt pass it up. The rubber strap needs to be repaired, and the snap needs replacing (i already removed the old one) but it is otherwise in great shape and only cost me $200 bucks! Anyone who has been searcdhing for one of these knows they recently have been selling for between $400 and $600 bucks, so this was a steal. Im going to open up the bottom so the blaster can go through,but am debating if i want to remove the knife sheath as per the film version.

Butterflies, tornadoes and climate modelling
Many of you will have seen the obituaries (MIT, NYT) for Ed Lorenz, who died a short time ago. Lorenz is most famous scientifically for discovering the exquisite sensitivity to initial conditions (i.e. chaos) in a simple model of fluid convection, which serves as an archetype for the weather prediction problem. He is most famous outside science for the 'The Butterfly Effect' described in his 1972 paper "Predictability: Does the Flap of a Butterfly's Wings in Brazil Set Off a Tornado in Texas?". Lorenz's contributions to both atmospheric science and the mathematics of dynamical systems were wide ranging and seminal. He also directly touched the lives of many of us here at RealClimate, and both his wisdom, and quiet personal charm will be sorely missed.
Ed Lorenz had a reputation of being shy and quiet, and this was indeed the impression he gave on first meeting. Indeed raypierre was interviewed by Ed at MIT in 1979 for his first faculty job — and remembers having to ask most of the questions as well as answer them. But he also remembers a lot of timely support from Ed that helped smooth over the somewhat rocky transition from basic turbulence theory to atmospheric science. The longer you were around Ed, the more you came to appreciate his warmth and sense of humor. He was an avid hiker, and many in the community (our own Mike Mann included) have recollections of time on the trail with him around the hills of Boulder and elsewhere.
Lorenz launched the modern era of the study of chaotic systems, which has profound implications both within and beyond atmospheric science. We'll say more about that in a bit, but the monumental work on chaos should not leave Lorenz's other contributions to atmospheric science completely in its shadow. For example, in a 1956 MIT technical report, Ed introduced the notion of "empirical orthogonal functions" to atmospheric science, and this technique now plays a central role in diagnostic studies of the atmosphere-ocean system. He also pioneered the study of angular momentum transport in the atmosphere, and of atmospheric energetics. Among other things, he introduced the important notion of "available potential energy," which quantifies the fact that not all of the potential energy can be tapped by allowable rearrangements of the atmosphere. Later, he pioneered the concept of resonant triad instability of atmospheric waves, an idea that has repercussions for the sources of atmospheric low frequency variability. As if that weren't enough Ed also introduced the concept of the "slow manifold" — a special subset of solutions to a nonlinear system which evolve more slowly than most solutions. The atmospheric equations support a lot of very quickly changing solutions, like sound waves and gravity waves, but on the whole what we think of as "weather" or "climate" involves more ponderous motions evolving on time scales of days to years. Ed's work on this subject launched the study of how such slowly evolving solutions can exist, and how to initialize a numerical model so as to minimize the generation of the fast transients. This is now part and parcel of the whole apparatus of data assimilation and numerical weather forecasting.
Ed was not a user of general circulation models. His essential approach was to crystallize profound phenomena into very small sets of equations for how a handful of variables change with time. He left behind him a dozen or so such models, each of which would repay many lifetimes of study. He was indeed a master of "seeing the world in a grain of sand." You can read about some of these models in the talk raypierre gave at the 1987 Lorenz 'retirement' symposium — not that this slowed him down!
Now let's take a closer look at that butterfly effect. Despite the fact that there are no butterflies or tornadoes in climate models, Lorenz's discoveries and their implications played a central role in climate modelling efforts and in the most recent IPCC report.

Paul Richard Payne helped kill one man and participated in the murder of another while an inmate at prisons in Utah and New Mexico.
Given that violent history, a federal judge has ruled Utah prison officials were justified a decade ago in placing Payne in "administrative segregation," the most secure housing available.
U.S. District Judge David Nuffer also said Payne, now 39, has had ample notice of and opportunity to challenge an executive director's decision that has kept him at the Draper prison's Uinta One unit, which is also where death-row inmates are housed.
But Nuffer also said the Department of Corrections could do more to safeguard due process rights of such inmates by adopting a written policy for appealing such decisions, and through regular, well-documented status reviews of inmates in "atypical" housing.
Payne has a long and troubled criminal history. He escaped from a juvenile detention center in Colorado Springs in 1990; at the time, the judge noted, there were 113 entries on his record.
He then was arrested in Utah for possession of a stolen car and placed at the Carbon County Juvenile Detention Center, where he promptly escaped after helping severely beat two officers. He stole a car with a 5-year-old child in the back seat and led officers on a high-speed chase before being recaptured.
Payne subsequently was given a 5-to-life sentence on charges related to that incident.
Between January 1991 and August 1996, he racked up at least 75 reports of disciplinary violations, Nuffer said. The most egregious: on July 6, 1994, Payne helped Troy Kell murder fellow inmate Lonnie Blackmon. Kell was sentenced to death for Blackmon's murder and remains on death row.
In September 1996, after pleading guilty to a lesser charge in that murder, Payne was transferred to a New Mexico prison. He escaped once and was returned.
In June 1999, while housed in administrative segregation there, Payne and a co-defendant stabbed a third inmate 38 times with homemade metal shanks, killing him.
Payne was sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty of that murder. Deemed a security risk, New Mexico officials sent Payne back to the Utah State Prison in December 2003.
There, Payne was placed in administrative segregation, where time out of his cell and access to "means of entertainment" were initially extremely restricted.
In 2005, Payne received a review score that qualified him for less restrictive housing. But Scott Carver, then executive director of corrections, exercised his option to override that score and to uphold staff recommendations that Payne remain on segregation. Payne then filed numerous protest letters and grievances, all of which were denied or ignored.
"You have clearly demonstrated over the years that [you] do not play nice with others, therefore, you are where you are," Tom Anderson, a management services administrator, wrote in one response.
Payne's initial 17-count complaint was dismissed in 2007. But the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned that decision and ordered the Utah court to reconsider whether Payne's due process rights had been violated.
Currently, Payne is allowed out of his cell three hours a week to exercise and talk on the phone; he may take 15-minute showers three times a week; he has access to books and magazines but not a television or radio; and he gets three barrier visits a month. He also is allowed to participate in personal study programs in his cell, corrections spokesman Steve Gehrke said.
After his sentence expires in 2020, he will be sent back to New Mexico to serve out the life sentence.
Gehrke said corrections is reviewing Nuffer's ruling and "will seriously weigh any judicial recommendation aimed at bettering internal processes."
Administrative segregation
As of Monday, six Utah State Prison inmates were in administrative segregation due to executive director overrides.

Honestly - eliminate the Remington ammo and try it again. I have seen a LOT of complaints about malfunctioning semi autos of various makes over the past year - using Remington ammo. Their target ammo is under powered. One guy even paid a local gunsmith to solve the issue instead of paying to ship his pistol back to the factory. The diagnosis - the UMC ammo.
It may not be that. But I'd clean and lube the gun, and try a different brand of target ammo

Guidelines for Implementing Furlough Authorization for the University of North Carolina Pursuant to S.B. 897, Section 29-4
The UNC Policy Manual
Adopted 07/29/2010
Guidelines for Implementing Furlough Authorization for
the University of North Carolina
Pursuant to Senate Bill 897, Section 29.4 (Session Law 2010-31)
Section 29.4 of Senate Bill 897 (Session Law 2010-31) authorizes the University to implement furloughs as needed in order to balance the budgets of the University of North Carolina or its constituent institutions for the 2010-2011 fiscal year. The University has developed the following guidelines pursuant to section 29.4(f) of the legislation which shall apply throughout the 2010-2011 fiscal year.
1. Authorization to Implement a Furlough
Furlough—A temporary period of leave from employment without pay that (1) is ordered by the President of the University of North Carolina or a chancellor with approval by the President and (2) is not in connection with a demotion or other disciplinary action.
The President is authorized to implement a furlough for the University of North Carolina[1] or any part thereof during the 2010-2011 fiscal year. In addition, the President may delegate the authority to implement to the Chancellor of a constituent institution upon the request of the Chancellor, provided that an institutional furlough plan has been previously submitted and approved in accordance with these guidelines. Furloughs may be used only to meet one-time budget reductions required by discontinued FMAP funding or required reversions imposed on the University by the Governor. Furloughs are not a viable solution for long-term or recurring budget challenges.
2. Application of Furloughs
University Employee—Any permanent full-time, permanent part-time, or time-limited employee of the University of North Carolina, including employees exempt from the State Personnel Act under G.S. 126-5(c), 126-5(c1), 126-5(c7), and 126-5(c8). The term includes public officers.
Furloughs should be applied as consistently as possible to all University Employees except that:
· Furloughs may not be imposed on any employee whose pro rated full-time annual base salary is $32,000 or less. Institutions may choose to designate a higher "threshold" for base salary and must include that threshold in their institutional furlough plan. Institutions may choose to use a "tiered" structure of increasing furlough days for increasing tiers of salary above $32,000.
· Furloughs may not be imposed on student workers including work aid and work study, graduate/teaching/research assistants; postdoctoral fellows/trainees who do not pay FICA; and others in student status.
· Furloughs may not be imposed on employees holding H-1B visas.
· Furloughs may not be imposed on research fellows or trainees supported by fellowships that mandate the level of stipend or support.
· Furloughs may not be imposed on employees on military leave with pay and receiving military differential pay during any designated furlough period.
· Institutions may elect to restrict furloughs to employees who are paid by General Fund sources or may elect to impose furloughs on all employees regardless of source of funds. Furlough "savings" from non-State funds cannot be used to offset State budget reductions.
· Institutions may exempt from furloughs any employees whose presence on campus is essential for the health and safety of the University community.
· Institutional furlough plans must address how furlough would be applied to employees who first begin work during the fiscal year and to employees whose employment is terminating during the fiscal year.
· Institutional furlough plans must describe the steps that will be taken to ensure that employees are not directed or permitted to work on furlough days and are not directed or permitted to work more than 40 hours in the work week in which furlough days are taken.
· Institutions must keep records of hours worked by employees during work weeks in which furlough days are taken, including employees who are paid on a salary basis and are otherwise exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
3. Furlough Duration and Scheduling
· The maximum number of furlough days allowed during the fiscal year is 5 days.
· Furloughs should be taken in full day increments.
· Institutions may choose to designate "furlough days" on which the entire institution is closed or may allow employees flexibility in scheduling a required number of furlough days through a designated furlough period. Consistent with previous budget reductions, institutions should attempt to minimize the impact on the teaching mission.
· Employees are expected to be given at least 30 days notice prior to the imposition of a furlough to the extent practicable.
· Pay reductions should be spread over as long a period as practical in order to minimize the impact on employees' pay in a manner consistent with the Fair Labor Standards Act.
· Employees should be given clear instructions not to work at all on furlough days.
4. Leave and Holidays
An employee may not use paid leave to offset all or any portion of a furlough. If a holiday falls during the designated furlough period, a permanent university employee must be paid for the holiday.
5. Effect of Furlough on Other Employee Payments
The following payments to employees shall not be affected by furlough:
· Leave payouts upon separation of employment, if applicable,
· Law enforcement officer supplements,
· Severance payments,
· Workers' Compensation payments,
· Short term or long term disability payments,
· Longevity pay, or
· Overtime, shift premium pay, on call, or call back pay.
6. Employee Benefits
University contributions to retirement (TSERS and ORP) and to the State Health Plan shall continue as if the employee had worked and been paid for any designated furlough.
7. Reporting
When the President or a chancellor authorizes a furlough, he/she shall report to the State Treasurer, the Director of the Retirement Systems Division, and the Executive Administrator of the State Health Plan the following:
· The specifics of the authorized furlough including the applicable reduction in salary and the date the reduction in salary will occur.
· The positions affected.
· The individual employees affected, including the applicable reduction in salary and whether the employee is subject to or exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act.
· Certification that the furlough is not in connection with a demotion or any other disciplinary action.
· Certification that the furlough is to accomplish economies, including the specific budget provision or reduction the furlough is intended to address.
· Certification that the furlough is not related to the settlement of any claim against the institution.
[1]The UNC Health Care System is not covered by these Furlough Guidelines.

I recently acquired a century arms c93 and was wondering if anyone can tell me anything about them. i did some research on them, and they are apparently clones of an HK 93 (i think that's what it was). What would the value of one of these be in the used market?
any info is appreciated..

text: The end of the year is coming up and it's probably not unusual to be feeling tired. I'm thinking, though, that I am feeling more tired than usual. I plan to discuss this with my doctor, but wanted to go in with more information than I currently have on possible causes of fatigue. I know one should check iron deficiencies and thyroid functioning, but are there other things to consider?

At Johns Hopkins University, the Institute for NanoBioTechnology is sort of a strange hybrid animal— a unique entity in academia. Founded in 2006, we are a virtual center that draws faculty membership from four divisions – the medical school, engineering school, school of arts and sciences and from public health.
Two faculty members, Peter Searson, the Joseph R. and Lynn C. Reynolds Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, and Denis Wirtz, the Theophilus H. Smoot Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, started INBT. They thought it made sense to combine the efforts of people in engineering with people working in the medical and basic sciences as well as in public health to better solve problems in health care. We have more than 220 affiliated faculty members. There are no other centers or institutes at Hopkins with as many participants from as many different disciplines.
Any faculty member can become a member of INBT; they just have to have an interest in incorporating nanobiotechnology—or science at the scale of just a few atoms—into their research. Researchers at INBT are working on everything from drug delivery systems to solving problems in basic science and engineering using nanobiotechnology.
Physically, INBT is located on the Johns Hopkins Homewood campus in Suite 100 of Croft Hall. That's where our administrative offices are and some of our faculty members have laboratories in this building. But our research occurs wherever our faculty members are working, and much of that is at the School of Medicine. In fact, nearly half of our members come from the medical school. Faculty members in other divisions are mostly likely collaborating with people at the School of Medicine.
At INBT, we search for funding opportunities for our members and offer small seed grants that help collaborators launch projects. Sometimes these projects are later funded and sustained by larger federal grants. We feel good about helping new ideas find "legs".
In addition, we train up-and-coming scientists and engineers from high school through the postdoctoral level in our affiliated labs. These include short-term summer programs as well as highly competitive government funded research experiences and fellowships that last several years. INBT is educating the next generation of researchers who will solve problems at the interface of science, engineering and medicine. Our graduate students who fulfill specific requirements are awarded a Certificate of Advanced Study in NanoBioTechnology.
We have global outreach programs as well. INBT has funded research teams to India and Tanzania to solve engineering problems in local communities. Sometimes the challenges are medical, and sometimes they are purely engineering, but the teams much use local materials and resources to accomplish their goals.
Finally, we have industry affiliations. By working with companies in the U.S. and worldwide, we are developing training opportunities for our students that result in the development of new knowledge and hopefully new patented and marketable products. We don't want to keep our innovations in the lab; we want to bring them to people for the benefit of humankind.
So in a nutshell, that's what INBT is all about. To learn more about some of our specific programs and about some of the other centers we have launched under the INBT "brand", read the other articles in this series. You can also watch this video about INBT.
This article is part of a series of brief reports on INBT and its different components and programs. Together, we hope these articles will help readers inside and outside of the Johns Hopkins University community to understand what INBT is and what we do.
