Ketoprofen, an anti-inflammatory agent commonly prescribed to treat arthritis, reduces neuronal damage in rats that have been exposed to chronic stress and methamphetamine. If this finding of a recent NIDA-supported study extrapolates to humans, anti-inflammatory medications may gain a place in the treatment of methamphetamine addiction.
Study patients with HIV–hepatitis C coinfection progressed to successive degrees of severity of liver fibrosis 9 years sooner than those infected with HCV alone. Further findings from the study suggest that suppressing HIV with antiretroviral medications may slow HCV-related liver fibrosis.
Researchers have shut down laboratory rats' compulsive cocaine seeking by stimulating an area of the animals' prefrontal cortex. The finding raises the possibility that stimulating neurons in this brain area may weaken or break cocaine's grip on the behavior of people who are addicted to the drug.
NIDA grantee Dr. O'Brien was honored for his "exemplary personal commitment to French‒American relations as symbolized by … exceptional cooperation in science and in public health."

Dr. Kharasch is a NIDA-funded researcher known for a broad range of research into how drugs are metabolized in the body.
A trial of buprenorphine/naloxone (Bup/Nx) showed no evidence that the medicine was associated with liver damage. The drug gave results similar to those of methadone. The study data indicate that although most patients can be treated safely with either methadone or Bup/Nx without major concern for liver injury, clinicians are advised to continue to monitor the liver health of their patients who are on methadone or Bup/Nx therapy.

A meta-analysis of 13 genome-wide association studies of African Americans' smoking patterns confirms the significance of genetic variation in region 15q25.1. The analysis also tentatively implicates several genome locations that have not previously been associated with smoking behaviors.
More than half of heroin-addicted patients treated with naltrexone via an implanted delivery device maintained abstinence throughout a 6-month clinical trial in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The implant device, which releases a steady dose of naltrexone continuously for 2 months, averted relapse to heroin use three times as effectively as daily oral doses of the medication.
Women who reached their majority in states with policies that restricted teens' access to tobacco products were less likely to smoke from ages 18-34 than women in states without those policies. The research did not demonstrate that the policies had a comparable impact on men's smoking.
NIDA plans to provide $750 travel awards to 27 junior investigators to present their research on women or sex/gender differences in any area of drug abuse at the annual meeting of the College on Problems of Drug Dependence (CPDD) in San Juan, Puerto Rico, June 14‒19, 2014. Deadline to apply is December 2, 2013.

Pwer Swithes in the rear
Could this be to slow you down, giving the equipment additional time to cool?

I really notice it on the plasma. I have a long lead and have the unit up out of the way. Its not a deal breaker and I understand it to some extent, switch close to the incoming lead is always good.
I'm glad the coolant pump switch is on the front (Dynasty), I'll switch off the noise when the cup cools but a lot of time I don't try and reach the welder switch until I am done.
Mine is tough to get to right now but thinking on putting it back on its hand truck type cart, but its a PITA to get out of its anti theft area.

Looks easy to move on the 211...will probably do it post warranty. Plasma cutter will have to look at. Not a lot of space inside from what I recall.
I understand that the power switch being located on the rear of a unit can in some cases be inconvenient. There are however a number of reasons why some units have the power switches located on the rear panel near the input cord entry.
In some cases the reason could be a simple lack of space on the front panel to properly locate a power switch. Another possibility is that routing the leads through the unit could cause problems with weld performance because of noise on the lines in particular on inverter based units. In other cases the size of the machine itself may not allow for proper clearances for the primary leads to be routed through the length of the unit and still pass a 3rd party certification such as NRTL/C, CSA or UL. These types of certifications are very important for this equipment, without them we would not be allowed to sell in some markets.
As for relocating the switch on the Millermatic 211 to the front panel I would not recommend it as it could be a potential safety issue and would also jeopardize your machine warranty.Kevin Schuh

The rear panel switch on the Hypertherm units is for compliance with CSA and CE safety standards. The switch has to be closw to the power cord entrance so long lengths of input AC power are not exposed inside the unit.

If owners are really wanting an easier/ergonomic way to turn their machines on/off they could always install a magnetic contacter to turn the outlet circuit on and off and use a low voltage pendant to control it.

Recipe by GothicGirl
"It is hard to find scratch strawberry cakes, so this one is worth it weight in gold to me as a caterer. I made this cake for a child's birthday party. It was a major hit! Frost with cream cheese or vanilla frosting - or for a treat, use a chocolate glaze!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 cups
white sugar
1 (3 ounce) package
strawberry flavored Jell-O®
1 cup
butter, softened
eggs (room temperature)
2 3/4 cups
sifted cake flour
2 1/2 teaspoons
baking powder
1 cup
whole milk, room temperature
1 tablespoon
vanilla extract
1/2 cup
strawberry puree made from frozen sweetened strawberries
I think I know why everyone complained about density. The measurements for the flour are for sifted flour not the amount to be sifted. Sift the cake flour and then measure the amount to be put into the cake. The batter seems to be runny, but bakes up fluffy
This cake turned out absolutely delicious but the reason I am giving it 3 stars is because it can be a bit tricky to make. Definitely follow the recipe exactly, otherwise it can turn out a bit dense. I make mine in a 9x13 cake pan. For a yummy light frosting, I blended together 8 oz of cream cheese, with a container of cool whip and 1 tsp of vanilla.

I am a caterer as well and have not found a good strawberry cake recipe until now! My daughter asked for a Strawberry cake I had to find a recipe. Everyone LOVED it, even my picky eater that does not like strawberries! It is a keeper! Thank you for sharing. I made the recipe like I do all of my cakes and it came out fluffy and moist. I seperated the egg whites and yolks. Whipped the whites into soft peaks and folded them in at the end. I also always line the pans with parchment paper, this keeps them from sticking to the bottom.
My sister and I made this cake the day before Easter Sunday and let it sit in the refrigerator until we served it for dessert... it was WONDERFUL!!! We took three recommendations from reviews that really helped the strawberry cake to turn out great!
1~ We seperated the egg whites and yolks and whipped the egg whites and then added them in to the mixture. 2~ Also we sifted the flour and then after sifting measured it again.
3~ We spread strawberry puree in between the two cake layers along with icing to make them stick together well. (mmmmm!!!:D)Furthermore we made the strawberry puree by blending clean, cut strawberries together in the blender which made a really fresh puree. As a finishing touch, after icing the entire cake with vanilla icing, we placed extra sliced strawberries on the top of the cake! The cake was BIG hit but make sure to make room in the refrigerator for leftovers!
A little sweet for me, but Hubs loved it. Pretty pink, lots of strawberry flavor. I creamed the butter, sugar and gelatin well, as directed, adding the eggs one at a time and beating well after each addition. I added the flour in thirds with the milk AND the strawberry puree, beginning and ending with the flour. This differed from the instruction to add the puree at the end. To give the cake a little extra lift I used a full tablespoon of baking powder. Also, salt makes flavor come alive, so I added a teaspoon. The batter was so light, fluffy and voluminous I felt better using three pans rather than two and I'm glad I did. I filled the cake with my own strawberry buttercream: 2 c. powdered sugar, 1/2 c. butter, approximately 2 T. of sweetened strawberry puree and a dribble of strawberry extract. It was awesome good and complemented the cake perfectly. I frosted the cake with "Sturdy Whipped Cream Frosting," also from this site, which Hubs and I both agree was a major disappointment and, in our opinion, ruined what otherwise would have been a perfect cake. The strawberry buttercream I made for the filling would have been perfect to frost the cake as well and in hindsight I wish I would have done that. This cake is fluffy, moist and flavorful - pretty too! If I have any criticism at all, it would be that using the gelatin kind of turned me off. I would much rather find a true "Strawberry Cake from SCRATCH" that didn't use it.
I wanted to make a cake from scratch for my wife's birthday when I came across this recipe. After reading all of the reviews I carefully measured the flour after sifting and I beat the egg-whites separately. I used slightly less flour and butter hoping to make the cake fluffier. It still ended up being a fairly dense cake (but still delicious).
I made the strawberry puree from scratch just using strawberries and sugar.
For the frosting I used a homemade whip cream with more strawberry puree.
I used 3x 9" pans for a triple layer cake. In between the layers I placed thinly sliced strawberries on top of a thin layer of icing. I covered those with splashes of the strawberry puree then added more frosting.
To top it off I soaked halved strawberries in more puree and placed them on top.
The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because it didn't come out as fluffy as I would have liked. However I'm not much of a baker so it's just as likely my fault as it is the recipe. But my wife loved it so I'm in her good graces until next year!
I was very pleasantly suprised with this cake. There was so many reviewers claiming that the cake was too dense. I think that the problem maybe that they used 2 pans instead of 3. I went with my instinct and used three 9 inch cake pans and did everything else the same and my cake came out wonderful, very light and fluffy. I used the remaining strawberry puree, mixed it with some extra chopped strawberries, sprinkled it with sugar and a little cornstarch. After mixing it and letting it sit, I poured it between the layers and frosted the top and sides with my buttercream frosting. Delish, to say the least!! The cake itself was defenitely better than any boxed version, a keeper!!
I am so glad I read the reviews-this turned out great with some tweaking! Here's what I did different from the original:
* sifted cake flour, then measured out
* separated yolk/white and beat whites to soft peaks, then folded in at the end
* reduced sugar to 1 3/4 c.(will try 1.5 c. next time)
* baked in three, 9 in. pans
* frosting=two store bought vanillas and 1/3 c. puree (plus a little red food color)
Cake was dense, moist and great! I liberally coated/greased/floured the pans, put wax paper on bottom, too. I really want to try this with raspberries as a local baker that is now out of business had the best raspberry cake and frosting. This turned out great! Thanks!

If you're thinking about doing an electric build, I highly recommend you visit The Electric Brewery. This is a fantastic resource where Kal shows you in-depth step-by-step details on how to create his electric brewery setup which is among the finest out there. HomeBrewTalk.com is another great source of information with a dedicated electric brewing forum. Many of the members there were a great help in putting together my setup.
Building an electric brewery setup isn't exactly cheap, but this instructable will show you how to build a basic combo hot liquor tank (HLT) & brew kettle (BK) setup as simply and inexpensively as possible--the entire setup can be assembled for around $300, a third of which is setting up the 240V supply outlet. The heating in this case is done with a 5500W hot water heater element powered by a 240V electic supply. This setup is also easily upgraded by adding a second kettle in the future.to have a dedicated HLT and BK.
bonus: i'm a pharmacologist so i could help you edit your thesis.
Looks great. I plan to build something based on this soon. One question: The grounding. Did you tie the ground to the side of the BK? What about to the chassis of the control box?
Just curious, but why post this when there are some really good sites with great plans and schematics. You do a good job giving Kal a shout out, but see Ebrew Supply for some great products and even the schematics. I am in process making my own 3 element system. Seems like a low key build to me. May lead people to believe they can perform this with little or no experience. 240V can have consequences. Love your spunk to take this on though. Keep in there!
First of all, great design! I'm building a eBIAB system and have used ideas from many different sites. I learned so much studying your control box plans, and I chose to implement it because of it's compact size and simplicity. That said, I'm mostly done making this and have struggled a lot. Extreme accuracy is required to fit the components into the box. When disconnected, everything fits, but when I started connecting wires between the PID, SSR, and RTD, I found this box to be too tight. I'll probably finish and use this, but my first 'upgrade' will be a slightly larger control box.
Great build! Just one thing: in step 4 you suggest it might be OK to simply transfer SSR heat through the box wall into the sink, this didn't work for me. I burnt my SSR out pretty quickly while Autotuning the PID. I would recommend any other builders to make sure their sink is in direct contact with the SSR (with some thermal compound for good measure). Otherwise, thanks for the info, this helped a ton in my build.
I'm a bit confused on one part of it. Everything in the path to the heating element has a minimum rating of 30A, except for the cutoff switch which is 25A. I realize that with a 5500W element you're only pulling roughly 23A, but isn't general electrical practice to not exceed 80% of the rated capacity for electrical components? Or since it's a switch, is it safe to take it up to the limit?
I built it with a 25A switch and it's been working perfectly, but this came across my mind as I was putting together a switch box to control both an HLT and BK as I was planning on using a 30A DPDT toggle which are significantly more expensive than the 25A DPDT. Thanks, and once again awesome instructable!
So you're building a switch box that would sit between the main controller and toggle between a HLT/BK? Have you been using a separate HLT and BK already? You should really only have to switch from the HLT --> BK once during a brew (for a single infusion anyway) so the manual switch of unplug HLT, plug in BK is still an option with two vessels. You'll probably be doing that anyway so you don't accidentally bump the toggle and dry-fire an empty kettle. You could always sell your current system to another brewer and built a new box to run the HLT/BK simultaneous--at least that's what I plan to do in the not to distant future. Good luck!
I'm currently using a one kettle setup, but have the second kettle assembled and ready to go.
The original plan was to unplug the HLT and plug in the BK, but I figured after I'd already invested so much on everything else, it was worth an extra $20 or $30 for slightly more convenience by incorporating a switch box, which will also serve as the housing for my exhaust fan control.
As is the way with this silly hobby of ours, I'm sure I'll soon be dropping in another 240 to accommodate running both at the same time. Curious - why sell your system instead of scavenging it? Are you planning on using different control units? I'm in the middle of putting together an Arduino unit capable of controlling multiple kettles, so I suppose I'll be in the same boat shortly. Thanks again!
I think thats way over the top.
Beer is alive, What happens to the yeast that touches this element when on.
In Australia in winter, I used a 60W light bulb suspended in the middle of a milk crate. Then I wrap the entire thing in several towels.
Im guilty of not reading the whole thing
The stuff in the cooler in the picture of the last step looks somewhat familiar to me...
I was thinking about electric heating for a while.
I actually preheat the "brewing liquor" to strike temperature with a timed thermostatically controlled setup.
The malt is also milled, while setting up the water heater.
So i can "shave off" about one hour of my brew schedule.
I can start with mashing in first thing in the morning.
I use a 2kw immersion heater for that
These heaters are pretty cheap, but there is danger of scorching, as soon as you want to heat something else than pure water. (like a maltose-water solution)
We are planning to step up from a 14 to a 30 gal setup for a while now. (We already have the 3 pots of that size...(3 stainless beauties gotten for free))
But i'm still looking for large area electric heater elements.
If nothing pops up on my radar, i'll stay with my 10-20kw propane burners.
You could also control multiple heating elements with a single PID as long as you had a properly sized SSR.
All three pots heatable with 12kw propane burners.
So i mostly do step mashes. I didn't feel the urge to do decoctions up until now. I could do it, i have a extra 8 gal pot. (it was the kettle for my first extract brews, now i use it mostly for soups for bigger audiences...)
The electric safety, that databoy mentions makes sense. (With a degree in electrical engineering, i think i know, what i do... the www wasn't there then... i learned it from books and teachers)
As long as you have a GFCI and your pot/rig properly grounded, your life shouldn't be in jeopardy.
To brew all-electric in my projected size, i'd need a 32A 3 phase 240V mains, that i don't have.
But i can heat up my brewing liquor, in my insulatet hot water tank overnight.
And for exploding mythbusters gags... my pot is open on top.
It talks a lot about kettles. I brew tea with a kettle. Hot chocolate, I make on the stove.
Maybe the author will clarify in the text... ;-)
I believe I'm going to attach my element with a triclover connection for easy removal and cleaning. This is the part I've seen to do the job: http://www.hillbillystills.com/Heating_Element_plate_p/hecp.htm
It's just a 2" triclover cap with a NPS nipple. Also, http://www.glaciertanks.com/ has a lot of cheap triclover parts if anyone is interested.
I just need to lean to braze stainless steel first so I can attach some 2" triclamp furrels to the keg. Ha! I love acquiring new skills.
Mythbusters did an episode into the exploding hot water system. To achieve the result; Mythbusters removed all the hot water system safety wiring and built an exploding hot water system.
Electrical hot water system safety regulations require that a mains supply electrical element must be electrically failsafe de-energised using a thermostat directly bonded to the tank. When more than one live supply is used, all live supplies must be simultaneously electrically failsafe de-energise through a contactor. The element must also contain a failsafe thermal overload series wired into the element circuit and thermally bonded to the tank. The tank must also contain a pressure relief valve.
Commercially manufactured hot water systems contain two failsafe electrical circuits and a failsafe mechanical relief valve. As wired the electronic thermostat is not electrically failsafe wired. If the electronic thermostat fails, the unit will become an exploding hot water system.
Never tried building with a keg but how hard would it be to mount the heating coil
externally on the bottom? That way the keg bottom would act like a heat sink and spread the heat more evenly and perhaps help with any scorching.
Getting the element clean requires a little more work, but I found a sponge fits nicely between the coils. Using a bottle brush also helped.
The keg wouldn't have enough room to mount the element underneath unless you welded on some legs, but more importantly the hot water heating elements are only designed to be run when immersed in liquid. I actually had a broken electric cook top and though about doing something like that with the burners (largest is 2400W). I might still get brave and toy around with that when adding another vessel.
If people are worried about scorching then use short frequent cycling on the heating element and install an agitator to keep everything moving past the element so that nothing will stick to it and burn (source of the scorched flavor).
I love this idea especially for maintaining the mix at the perfect maturation temperature in cold weather environments. Not only would it speed up the process but it would prevent the possibility of a severely cold night killing your cultures.
I'm on Homebrewtalk too. Great place to get information.
Of course, I live in Australia, and the temperature never drops below 15°C (60°F), it's sort of like Paradise...
You'd have to add a few layers of insulation to help the humble aquarium heater keep up with freezing weather.
Now obviously this could be dangerous but the procedure is to distill the
ingredients - they start off with 4 gal+ of distilled water , and 10 lbs ??? of sugar . they had an electric distiller - which looked like a large coffee pot
to make the fuel - they had to distill the mix about 4 times to get to the volitile
level of gas, then I believe you add another liquid ingredient to stop the "Pinging"
which the local auto store carries .
Where do I find this auto distillation machine?

Women's tennis edged at Georgia State, 4-3
Saturday, February 19, 2011
ATLANTA, Ga. (Feb. 19, 2011) - Georgia State got out to a quick start by winning the doubles point and they split the six singles matches to narrowly defeat ETSU, 4-3 in women's tennis action at Piedmont Park on Saturday.
Georgia State got out to the early 1-0 lead after sweeping each of the three doubles matches, but ETSU came out strong in the singles portion of the match. Andra Voinea (Brasov, Romania) tied the match up at 1-1 after she earned a quick victory over Othilia Lindqvist at the No. 6 position, 6-1, 6-0. Voinea remains tied for the team lead with four singles victories during the dual season.
The Panthers regained the lead shortly thereafter as Abigail Tere-Apisah knocked off Paula Jaime (Madrid, Spain) in the No. 2 position, 6-2, 6-4. The back and forth battle continued as ETSU picked up a win at the No. 1 position when Kelly Holtzhausen (Johannesburg, South Africa) defeated Tereza Lerova, 6-3, 7-6 (8-6).
With the match knotted up once again, the Panthers got a crucial victory from Kir Kemp at the No. 5 position as she knocked off Diana Navrostska (Lviv, Ukraine), 7-5, 6-1. With GSU needing just one point to clinch the match, Maryna Kozachenko defeated Karina Kedzo () 7-5, 6-4, to keep the Panthers undefeated on the season.
ETSU did, however, finish up the afternoon with a victory from Marine Wieliczko (Rouen, France) at the No. 3 position as she won a three set thriller over Katerina Gresova, 6-2, 4-6, 6-4. Wieliczko is tied with Voinea for the team lead with four singles wins during dual play.
The Bucs fall to 2-4 on the season with the loss, while Georgia State remains a perfect 5-0 on the season.
The Bucs will next take on No. 70 North Florida in the first Atlantic Sun Conference match of the season on March 4. The match will take place in Jacksonville, Fla. and will begin at 11 a.m.

ORLEANS–This just wasn't Lake Region's year.
The baseball Rangers finished off their season losing 6-3 to Richford on senior day last Thursday, ending 2012 in last place in Division II with a 2-13 record.
But the future looks bright for the team.
Lake Region has a core of young players, as well as some coming up the pipe, which could spark a turnaround in the blue and white's future.
"We had a freshman on the mound today, and there are some great young kids that are coming up, said coach Eric Degre. "This year we just didn't get the bounces, but the youth is there.
BARRE–In their final two regular season matches of the season, North Country's boys tennis team blanked Spaulding 7-0 in back-to-back matches to close out the season with a 9-1-1 record, 4th overall in Division I.
In the first match the Falcons went with their traditional line-up and won with a combined score of 56-7.
In the second match they juggled their line-up and still won easily with a 56-13 total score.
"Dave was his usual workman-like self, Thomas' serve was clicking and his was strong at the net, and Maoz simply overwhelmed his opponent," said coach Gary Atchinson.
ORLEANS–Matt Morin medaled for the fifth straight time this season, shooting a 34, but it was not enough as the Lyndon Institute and Harwood tied atop the leader board to win the match.
Other Lake Region boys scores were Devin Morley and Carl Oberg, each with a 49, and Derek Rodgers shot a 58.
In the girls side Celeste Lussier took second place shooting a 54.
Next up for the team is sectionals, scheduled for next Wednesday at 10:00 AM.
NEWPORT–It was senior day at Prouty Beach for the North Country girls tennis team. Members of the class of 2012, Kelsey O'Donnell, Carlie Diette and Rhiannon Rosamillia were honored by their coach before the game with framed pictures of themselves as a memento for their four years with the team.
The seniors were not the only ones that will be departing from the team, head coach and co-founder of the program Marie George has decided to hang up her coaching racquet after twenty-five years with the team.
NEWPORT–The home portion of a trying season came to a close for the Falcons on Tuesday.
Mount Mansfield came into North Country's ball yard and defeated the home team 15-3 on senior day.
The Cougars jumped out to leads of 1-0, 4-0, 9-0 and 13-0 before the Falcon offense got going in the fifth.
The Falcons plated three runs in the inning to cut the lead to ten, but Mount Mansfield added two more runs late to finalized the win.
NEWPORT–Things were looking promising for the North Country softball team on Tuesday afternoon.
After paying tribute to their departing seniors, junior Anna Bingham staked her team to a 1-0 lead in the first, going yard off of MMU's pitcher Colleen Davis.
In the second the Cougars decided to crash the party, scoring two runs in the frame to take the lead.
North Country continued the fight in the bottom of the frame with Mariah Roberts singling, scoring and knotting the contest at two.
MMU took back the lead in the third on Autumn Hallock's double that scored Sydney LeBourveau.
The Lake Region Rangers softball team was clearly in the giving mood Tuesday, as ten errors in the field combined with a handful of mental mistakes led to a 10-9 extra-inning loss to Enosburg.
While the defense did everything they could to give the contest away, the offense kept coming back, tying or taking the lead on three different occasions after falling behind.
Ranger starter Michelle Thibeault also did her part, striking out a career high 7 batters, but in the end could not overcome a porous Ranger defense that made a least one error in every inning of play.
The Wildcat's U-14 team was busy over this past weekend.
They had two games to battle, one was a victory and the other a defeat in score only. In the first game Milton came to Wildcat Country and dominated the hometown girls.
As much as the Wildcats battled they could not find the back of the net. Milton is a fast, skilled, and adept soccer team. They moved the ball with a combination of speed and agility that the Derby hadn't seen yet this season. Their passes were precise and they were aggressive going after the ball.
This past week the North Country girls' golf team competed in two tournaments, hosting their own on Monday the 14th, and traveling to St. Albans on Thursday the 17th.
Completing at the NC Invitational were Paige Gagnon, Bailey Walker and Eilish Muir.
"While the team did not finish first, it did not finish last either," said coach Brian Hampton.
NEWPORT–Strong pitching, clutch hitting and an injection of some new blood into the line-up combined to propel North Country's baseball team over Spaulding 12-2 on Friday afternoon.
With some players having recently jettisoned from the team, Bonvechio brought up freshman Bryce Carter and junior Aidan Smith to join the varsity squad.
"When coach Bonvechio asked me to play I was ready to go," Carter said about being asked to suit up for the varsity team.
Neither were in the starting line-up, but that would change as they game moved along.

St Louis de Gonzague , one of the most prestigious schools in Haiti, was founded in 1890 and initially located at rue du Centre, in downtown Port-au-Prince for students between the ages of six and 12. By 1930, St Louis de Gonzague offered degrees for secondary school. In the early 1970s, the director at that time, Brother Ephrem Le-Mat, built a new campus on previously acquired land in Delmas 33. Since then, the secondary school has moved to that new campus. All facilities on the campus was affected by the January 12, 2010, earthquake. The primary school was moved to the Delmas premises.
The chemistry/physics classroom building was damaged during the earthquake as well, and was considered for rehabilitation. A site visit was conducted to determine the extent of repairs needed for the structure.
The existing single story building provides approximately 463m2 (4983 sq.ft) accommodating the following spaces:
- 2 Lecture Rooms
- Physics Laboratory
- Chemistry Laboratory
- Storage Area
A walk-through was conducted inside and outside the structure to (1) visually assess the structural damage and (2) form a basis for any repairs. The vast majority of structural damage occurred to interior and exterior masonry shear walls. No destructive testing was performed to determine the nature of concealed conditions.
- Building dimensions: 10 meter wide x 48 meter long
- 1-story concrete columns that support reinforced concrete roof trusses
- Infill masonry walls beneath concrete roof trusses, 4 interior locations in transverse direction, 3.6 meters tall
- Reinforced concrete, folded plate roof slab, supported on top of the reinforced concrete roof trusses
In order to improve the safety and performance of the structure, as defined by the 2009 International Building Code, we recommend the following:
- Perform a geotechnical investigation to evaluate any necessary soil-related issues.
- Perform a structural analysis in accordance with 2009 IBC seismic standards and develop drawings and details necessary to repair the structure.
- Remove the 2 exterior transverse masonry end walls. Rebuild these 2 exterior transverse masonry end walls with reinforced masonry shear walls, relocating them inward to beneath the end reinforced concrete columns and concrete truss. Create a physical connection between the new walls and existing concrete structure. New foundations will be necessary beneath these 2 walls.
- Remove the 4 interior transverse masonry walls. Rebuild the 4 interior transverse masonry walls with reinforced masonry shear walls, and create a physical connection between the new shear walls and existing concrete structure.
- Remove at least 4 masonry wall sections between the concrete columns along each longitudinal perimeter wall. Rebuild these longitudinal wall sections with reinforced masonry shear walls, and create a physical connection between the new shear wall and existing concrete structure. Preliminary structural seismic calculations indicate the total length of shear wall needed in the longitudinal direction is as follows for each thickness of block under consideration:
- 20 cm block: 38 meters
- 25 cm block: 30 meters
- 0 cm block: 24 meters
- Remove interior slabs-on-grade as needed. Provide proper compaction of underlying soils per geotech recommendations, replace interior slabs-on-grade and theatre seating as needed.

All recipients in this section are selected by the Financial Aid Committee and may choose any degree curriculum offered by the University.
All recipients in this section are
selected by the Financial Aid Committee
and may choose any degree
curriculum offered by the University.
Transfer scholarships are normally renewable for a second year, provided the recipient meets the University's scholarship renewal criteria.
The eligible student must be entering LSSU for the first time directly from another college (students sitting out more than one semester are not eligible for scholarship consideration) as a full-time student. Awards are based on the cumulative GPA earned at all schools prior to start of the first LSSU semester, with a minimum of 24 earned college credits and a maximum of 90 attempted college credits at any combination of other accredited schools. Students with more than 90 attempted credits but less than 124, may receive a non-renewable award.
If the transfer student has less than 24 earned credits at time of admission (prior to April 15th), official transcripts are required by July 1st for scholarship consideration for the following academic year.
*Students who have taken LSSU classes prior to admission as a full-time student (such as transfer students from Sault College), must have earned a minimum LSSU cumulative GPA comparable to the minimum needed for the transfer scholarship.
For example, a student with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 from another college, must have earned a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5 from LSSU for any credits taken as a dual-enrolled student to qualify for the Academic Excellence Transfer Scholarship.

Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - Devin Mesoraco scored on Ryan Ludwick's infield single in the bottom of the 14th inning to lift the Cincinnati Reds to a 4-3 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates in the opener of a three-game series at Great American Ball Park.
The Pirates squandered a bases-loaded opportunity with no outs in the top of the 14th as Alfredo Simon (3-2) managed to escape the jam. Pittsburgh also failed to score with the bags full in the 10th.
Mesoraco lined a single off the left-field wall to begin the 14th. Brandon Phillips then hit a dribbler in front of the plate. Catcher Michael McKenry tried to get the lead runner, but Mesoraco beat the throw to second base.
Rick VandenHurk (0-1), who had his contract selected from Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday, retired the next two batters before uncorking a wild pitch. Ludwick then hit a sharp grounder to shortstop. Chase d'Arnaud, whom the Pirates also recalled from Indianapolis, made a diving stop, but was unable to make the throw to first.
"I stunk the entire game. ... I'm just glad I got the job done in the 14th," Ludwick said.
Considering Pittsburgh southpaw Wandy Rodriguez owned a 13-inning scoreless streak and Mat Latos had stymied the Pirates in the past, it wasn't surprising that runs were at a premium.
Rodriguez had allowed only one hit -- a Chris Heisey solo home run -- prior to the seventh inning. He gave up a leadoff single to birthday boy Joey Votto, who was erased on a fielder's choice. Jay Bruce then hit a potential double- play grounder, but hustled to beat the shortstop Clint Barmes' throw and keep the inning alive.
Todd Frazier followed with an infield hit, triggering a pitching change. Jared Hughes replaced Rodriguez and promptly yielded a two-run double to Dioner Navarro that tied the game at 3-all.
Latos, meanwhile, pitched six innings for the Reds, surrendering three runs -- all in the fourth -- and five hits. The right-hander struggled a little with his command, walking four, but did match Rodriguez with five strikeouts.
Andrew McCutchen led off the Pittsburgh fourth with a home run to left field. Pedro Alvarez and Barmes both worked walks around a Jose Tabata ground-rule double, loading the bases for Rod Barajas. The Pirates catcher plated a run with a bloop single tight to the line in right that was nearly caught by the first baseman Votto. Rodriguez then helped his own cause by contributing an RBI groundout.
Rodriguez retired the first 10 batters he faced before serving up the home run to Heisey in the bottom of the fourth.
"Wandy pitched another fantastic game," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said.
The Pirates have lost seven straight road games ... Latos entered play 4-0
with a 1.67 ERA in five previous matchups against Pittsburgh. He struck out 16
over 13 1/3 scoreless innings over two outings earlier this season ... The
Pirates were 2-for-14 with runners in scoring position and left 15 men on
base ... Votto celebrated his 29th birthday.

The following FAQ contains frequently asked questions and answers about the "Potions and Lotions: Lessons in Cosmetic Chemistry" Project Idea and/or project kit (http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_ideas/Chem_p022.shtml?from=AAE). If you are having trouble with the procedure, you may find assistance in the answers below.
Q: One of my lip glosses splattered all over the microwave or the stove. What should I do?
A: First, tell an adult and make sure that no hot lip gloss landed on anybody. Make sure surfaces are cool to the touch (especially the stovetop or hot plate), then save what lip gloss you can and clean up the mess. Sometimes it is easier to let the lip gloss cool and harden before cleaning it up.
Q: The beeswax is taking a very long time to melt in the microwave. Is something wrong?
A: No, the beeswax just takes a long time to melt. Keep microwaving the basic ingredients for 15 seconds at a time and stir after each microwaving. Do not give into the temptation of microwaving the samples for longer periods of time, even just a few seconds; this can lead to the ingredients splattering all over the inside of your microwave, creating a really big mess. The beeswax needs to be fully melted, and the basic ingredients in your lip balm should be well-mixed before you blend the add-in ingredients into the lip gloss mixture.

Getting In...
I'm currently studying for BFA in Graphic Design in University of Tennessee at Martin, set to graduate this December.
As far as cartooning goes, I have done newspaper comics in Tennessee for the past few years. I also self-publish a comic book called "A Witch Named Katrina"
But I'm wondering what it takes to enter the TV animation biz lately. Is a degree from CalArts an absolute must for most studios? Should I try and apply for the school in an attempt to "get in"?
My portfolio can be viewed here, for what its worth.
Re: Getting In...
I know plenty of people who didn't go to cal arts.. I would say networking and persistence (both in doing art and looking for work) are the keys to getting in.
Re: Getting In...
From what I've heard and experienced the Calarts crowd is pretty tight and you can expect a level nepotism when they're entrenched at a studio or on a crew. Lots of artists from other schools and from many different and diverse backgrounds work in animation.
It's difficult to break into a major studio. Difficult but not impossible. You've got to be among the best of the best and the best advice I can offer is to get really really good at what you do.
My advice, don't go into massive personal debt by going to a very high priced school just for a chance to get into a major studio. Debt of the Calarts kind is something to be avoided if you can and I sincerely mean that. Student loan debt will adversely affect your quality of life and your future.
Use the Internet to showcase your work and build a following. You look to be doing a nice job so far with your storyboards and your project. Put the idea of getting into the biz in the back of your mind and focus on your art. Especially your ability to storyboard. Good board artists are valued plus you have a property that's in the works. It's your art that will move you forward. Approach it with a sense of purity of purpose. In other words, do what you do because of the joy of creating and strive to become better at what you do all the time. When your art is hitting on all eights as they say, the rest will follow.
Stay positive and creatively productive, and maintain a good attitude all the time. Good luck! Wishing you the best.

Re: Getting In...
Getting out... is what I am trying to do.
Take advantage of your freedom while you can. Work on your personal projects. The reward will be greater than anything you work on in TV. You can slave away on boards in tv only to have them do a rewrite or trash 50 to 100 percent. Ultimately animation is set up like a factory. Sh*t it out. While you can learn from it and develop speed it also can burn you out very fast. Take advantage of the internet: your free means of distribution. Remember that the artists of the 70's and 80's and early 90's did not have that option.
Re: Getting In...
Thanks for the helpful comments. From one Charles to another.
I know that the people in charge can be soul-crushing, but I'm willing to put up with it. It's not like I'm never going to run into those types in other job fields (and I have, trust me). I just love animation too much, I guess.
I'm sorry you're not happy with your job, though.
Re: Getting In...
What sorryguyz is expressing is what many artists feel once they get into the biz. You're attracted to animation cuz you love the art. You go to school and learn and immerse yourself in the creative process and do your best to get to a world class level with your portfolio and demo reel. You get your break and land a job at a major studio and then learn the cold truth that it's a job.
The conflict that artists deal with is the love they have for the art measured against the reality of the job.
A director I know who works on a popular animated series here in town is grateful to be employed, makes a comfortable living, yet comes to life when hiatus comes around so he can work on his own films.
The reality of working in the studio scene is that it's a job. You could bust your butt on a board and feel that it is the greatest artistic work you've ever done and then someone comes along and thrashes it. You have to rework half your board according to their direction and vision and you realize that it's a job. Many times it isn't necessarily art the way we would think of art. It's a job.
Emotionally detaching yourself from what goes on during your time at a studio can be an important survival skill. Immersing yourself into your own creative endeavors is key to maintaining balance for many artists once they get in.

Attacked by a bull
I was attacked by an enraged bull. I was hit hard and thrown up about 15 feet, tumbling head over heels. I landed in front of the bull who then butted me, rolling me to my back and running over me, planting his left foot squarely on my upper chest. When he stomped on my chest I was certain that he would crush it and my heart and lungs. Amazingly, my only injuries were a broken sternum and some subluxed ribs and clavicle joints. Quite sore but alive! Next day I cleaned the muddy hoof print off the left upper chest surface of the coat I had been wearing...my FILSON TIN CLOTH PACKER COAT. I feel that the almost armor-like quality of the caped part of that coat probably saved my life.

Veibeskrivelser til Mayan Hostel 1
kart og veibeskrivelser
From the Cancun International Airport there are three alternatives:
1 - ADO Bus, this bus drops passengers off right in the center, and our Hostel is just one block from the station. The name of this street are AV stations. AV Tulum with hand corner. Uxmal, the Hostel is located across the AV. Uxmal about 50meters.
2 - Airport Taxi, definitely not recommended by their high cost. Also purchased the tiket at the airport, his path is by AV. Luis Donaldo Colocio to get downtown by AV. Tulum.
3 -By car from the airport:
Leaving the airport is the first Luisdonaldo Colosio Avenue in towards the center of the city of Cancun, this avenue becomes Tulum.
To reach Uxmal turn left where you can easily identify that there's the ADO bus station.
Again turn left on Daisy Street.

Saturday, November 30, 2002 - once again, the rivalry belongs to the Hokies! For the fourth straight year, the Virginia Tech faithful were treated to victory in the Commonwealth Cup game, while Virginia Cavaliers fans hung their heads in shame. Over 63,000 students, alumni and fans gathered at the newly expanded Worsham Field complex to give a hostile welcome to UVa and witness a convincing 21-9 home victory on Senior Day. This amazing panoramic poster captures first-quarter action of that dramatic afternoon in Blacksburg!
Like all prints in photographer Rob Arra's Everlasting Images series, every single detail is in perfect focus, and as you pan across the image you feel like you are at the stadium, cheering on the boys to victory in the final home game of another excellent season. You can read the scoreboard, see the sideline entourages, the cheerleaders, the marching bands, and, of course, the action on the field. If you've been to a Hokies home game, or even if you're an armchair fan, you'll love this piece - just looking at it makes you feel like you're there on gameday! Worthy of a nice frame and a central location on your sports wall-of-fame!

[QUOTE=tfh_rules;1064489822]Congrats, Dems. Now get to work and fix the economy and deficit. No more blaming others - own it, and fix it.
Just in case you don't get a chance to what I posted in a previous thread. Don't worry we got this.
Of course it is, it mostly always does under a democratic president.
According to McGraw-Hills (MHP) S&P Capital IQ, the S&P 500 has rallied an average of 12.1% per year since 1901 when Democrats occupy the White House, compared with just 5.1% for the GOP.
Likewise, gross domestic product has increased 4.2% each year since 1949 when Democrats run the executive branch, versus 2.6% under Republicans.
Even corporate profits show a disparity: S&P 500 GAAP earnings per share climbed a median of 10.5% per year since 1936 during Democratic administrations, besting an 8.9% median advance under Republicans, S&P said.
Due to their tax-and-spend reputation, investors expect Democratic administrations to underperform Republican ones and be poison to any portfolio, Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ, wrote in a note. History shows the opposite to be true, however.
The best stretch of market performance since 1900 occurred in 1993-2000 under Bill Clinton, who saw the S&P 500 rally an average of 19.9% per year during his presidency, S&P said.
As strange as it may sound, diehard Republicans believe that President Barack Obamas tenure has been disastrous to U.S. business. Stock market returns so far during his tenure tell another story. A recent Reuters article detailed that the S&P 500 is up some 74% since Obama took office in late January 2009. But it is somewhat surprising to learn that this is the strongest first-term performance since Dwight Eisenhower served his first term back in the 1950s.
Truman was ranked the highest and happens to be a Democrat. Trumans tenure saw a budget surplus, reduction in national debt and a record-low unemployment rate of 4%. The second spot also went to a Democrat: John F. Kennedy, who was followed by Democrat Lyndon B. Johnson.
Now Carters rank as second last as he served during the difficult economic environment in the 1970s. But since he was the sitting president, I'm not excusing him.
And I am completely aware The Federal Reserve and other politicians in Congress certainly pulled together to help save the economy from financial ruin at the height of the credit crisis.
As the historical record shows, from economic growth and job creation to stock market performance and just about every other indicator of the health of American capitalism, the modern U.S. economy has almost always done better under Democratic presidents. Despite GOP mythology to the contrary, America generally gained more jobs and grew faster when taxes were higher (even much higher) and income inequality lower.

Eric Boullier reckons Kimi Raikkonen deserves a "ten out of ten" for his first half performances this season that have put him into the title fight...
Eric Boullier reckons Kimi Raikkonen deserves a "ten out of ten" for his first half performances this season that have put him into the title fight.
As Formula One heads into the summer break, the Finn is currently second in the Drivers' standings on 134 points, 38 behind Championship leader Sebastian Vettel.
But while the Red Bull racer has four wins to his name this season, Raikkonen managed just one when he took the chequered at the season-opening Australian GP.
However, the Lotus driver has proven to be the most consistent driver having finished all ten races inside the top ten to his extend his run to 27 races in the points.
"I would have to give Kimi ten out of ten," Boullier said.
"He's done a terrific job right from the beginning of the season and his remarkable run of twenty-seven consecutive points finishes speaks for itself.
"No matter what happens he's always there, as we saw in the final few laps at Monaco. He is playing a big part in pushing the team forwards, and of course having such a popular character in the seat has its advantages too."
The Lotus team boss, though, has also been impressed with Raikkonen's team-mate Romain Grosjean, who he believes will one day be a title contender.
"For Romain it was a more difficult start to the year coming off the back of a tough season in 2012, and it maybe took him a little while to settle down and start performing to the best of his ability.
"With that in mind, it gives me great pleasure to see him learn from those experiences and to really start delivering the kind of results we've always known he is capable of. In Germany and Hungary he really put together the complete package over two consecutive weekends, and this should now be his baseline.
"He knows that if he wants to be winning races and fighting for Championships then he must deliver this kind of quality drive at every grand prix. If he can keep up this level, Romain can be a future contender for titles, I'm sure of it."
