In Dallas, burgeoning movement overshadowed by shooting
DALLAS (AP) — The leadership of the Next Generation Action Network drove all night from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, arriving in Dallas early on July 7, just hours before the start of their hastily arranged march that ended in the worst attack on law enforcement since 9/11.
Civil-rights marchers: US still needs to address inequality
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A half-century ago, thousands joined a march across Mississippi to challenge a system that condoned violence against black people and suppressed their rights — issues still reverberating in today's national debates about police violence.

From every quarter we hear of a new global culture, postcolonial, hybrid, announcing the death of nationalism, the arrival of cosmopolitanism. But under the drumbeat attending this trend, Timothy Brennan detects another, altogether different sound. Polemical, passionate, certain to provoke, his book exposes the drama being played out under the guise of globalism. A bracing critique of the critical self-indulgence that calls itself cosmopolitanism, it also takes note of the many countervailing forces acting against globalism in its facile, homogenizing sense.
The developments Brennan traces occur in many places--editorial pages, policy journals, corporate training manuals, and, primarily, in the arts. His subject takes him from George Orwell to Julia Kristeva, from Subcommandante Marcos to Julio Cortázar, from Ernst Bloch to contemporary apologists for transnational capitalism and "liberation management," from "third world" writing to the Nobel Prize, with little of critical theory or cultural studies left untouched in between. Brennan gives extended treatment to two exemplary figures: the Trinidadian writer C. L. R. James, whose work suggests an alternative approach to cultural studies; and the Cuban writer Alejo Carpentier, whose appreciation of Cuban popular music cuts through the usual distinctions between mass and elite culture.
A critical call to arms, At Home in the World summons intellectuals and scholars to reinvigorate critical cultural studies. In stripping the false and heedless from the new cosmopolitanism, Brennan revitalizes the idea.

A former top administrator in Dorothy June Brown's charter school network said in federal court Tuesday that she fabricated bundles of documents, including several emergency loan agreements between schools that were submitted to federal investigators.
Joan Woods Chalker, 75, who had worked with Brown since 1989 and eventually became her top lieutenant, took the stand in Brown's $6.7 million fraud a month after she pleaded guilty in federal court to three counts of obstruction of justice.
"I'm to explain the situation as truthfully as I can," said Chalker, who until March was chief executive of Planet Abacus in Tacony, one of four charter schools Brown founded. Chalker also told jurors that prosecutors had promised her nothing in exchange for her guilty plea, but that she hoped her cooperation would be taken into consideration when she is sentenced next year.

Ariz. officer shot by robbery suspect
The armed robbery of $18,000 from two employees of a strip club led to the shooting
Associated Press
PHOENIX — The armed robbery of $18,000 from two employees of a strip club led to the shooting of a police officer and a civilian in an east Phoenix street, authorities said Thursday.
Two men were arrested after Tuesday afternoon's shooting, which came after a police chase ended with a crash.
Phoenix police planned to provide an update on their investigation at a news conference Thursday afternoon.
The officer and the civilian, who is a volunteer posse member for the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, remain hospitalized in critical condition.
Their names haven't been released, but police said the 34-year-old officer is a seven-year veteran and the citizen is 63.
Roger Allen Sharp Jr., 26, of Phoenix, was being held on suspicion of attempted murder, burglary, unlawful flight, resisting arrest, and illegal possession of a weapon. Court records show he was previously convicted of two counts of criminal possession of a forgery device and his right to have a gun has not been restored.
David Lee Murray, 36, of Tempe, was booked into jail on suspicion of armed robbery.
Bail for each man was set at $500,000, and they were awaiting court-appointed lawyers.
Authorities allege that Sharp and Murray robbed two employees of Pink Rhino Cabaret at gunpoint as they left a restaurant around 2 p.m. Tuesday.
The employees told police they were planning to take the $18,000 deposit to a bank when the men robbed them at gunpoint and fled in a vehicle.
An officer responding to the robbery call spotted the vehicle and tried to stop it. The suspects' vehicle crashed into a truck that was stopped at an intersection.
Police said Murray ran away while the officer tried to arrest Sharp at gunpoint with help from the sheriff's posse volunteer, who was driving the truck.
Sharp got the officer's gun and shot the officer and posse member before fleeing with the weapon, according to court documents.
Both men were arrested nearby in the backyards of different homes.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were functionalized with a surface coating using magnetron sputter deposition. The CNT samples used were prepared by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition and were vertically aligned to the surface of the tungsten substrate. A thin layer of barium strontium oxide approximately 100 run in thickness was deposited on their surface using magnetron sputtering. The oxide coating was uniform, covering the whole surface of the CNTs and significantly lowered the work function while preserving the geometry. The resulting oxide coated CNTs had a work function of 1.9 eV and a field enhancement factor of 467, which led to a significant improvement in both field and thermionic emission. Compared to uncoated CNTs, the field emission was increased by a factor of two, while the thermionic emission increased by more than four orders of magnitude. At 4.4 V/mum, a field emission current of 23.6 muA was obtained from an emitting surface of 0.012 cm2. Similarly, at 1.1 V/mum and 1221 K, a thermionic emission current of 14.6 mA was obtained.

text: Matt Phillips & the Philharmonic sounds like a genre-hoppjng blend of pop cliches arranged by music majors. Matt Phillips (vox, guitar, keys) formed the band with Gregory Williams (bass), Tre Harrison (percussion), Travis Huff (saxophone), and Connor Mangold (trumpet) while they were studying at ECU. Drawing on his experience street performing in Chapel Hill, Matt makes for a good front man. He allows his bandmates' collegiate music background to shine through, with rich arrangements and conversational improvisation. For select shows, the core 5 are joined by blues power-duo Daniel Fields (guitar) and Joe MacPhail (keys) who tour independently as The Oblations. Bring your dancin shoes.

Two Door Cinema Club
Contagious choruses are hardly anything new to the music industry; they're almost the heart of it. Three-piece band Two Door Cinema Club makes climbing the charts look crazy easy even without straight pop hooks. Its genre-bending fusion of pop, indie rock, and dance makes it stand out from the rest of the radio stuff. For five years, frontman Alex Trimble has led the band at music festivals across the pond as massive as T in the Park and those in Reading and Leeds.

To find out about this dichotomy and look at the correlation between unemployment and the multifamily market a little better, we sat down with StarPoint Properties CEO Paul Daneshrad. In this interview, Daneshrad explains how fluctuations in unemployment have a direct impact on the market, and how the current unemployment rates and job recovery is impacting the multifamily market today and in the future.
GlobeSt.com: How do fluctuations in the unemployment rates affect the multifamily market?
Paul Daneshrad: The employment rate and "quality of employment" has a direct impact on the multifamily market because the renter needs income before they can afford to pay for an apartment. There is no general rule when it comes to the correlation of the employment rate and the multifamily market, but our internal statistics show that every 1% increase or decrease (100 basis points) in the unemployment rate correlates to a loss or gain of 800,000 renters. The quality of employment also matters. Our current unemployment figures include part-time employment, which does not allow an individual enough income to support the average rent in the US.
GlobeSt.com: The multifamily market is strongest sector is commercial real estate, but many economists are still talking about poor job creation. Can you explain why the sector is booming when we are still seeing slow job growth?
Daneshrad: Job creation has been poor. This is the slowest job recovery we have seen following a recession for decades. However, the multifamily market continues to perform well, despite the "job-less recovery," due to the following factors: First, home ownership has dropped as a result of the Great Recession, because historically high housing foreclosures means that former home-owners are now renters. Second, there are strong demographics with a high percentage of the populace entering the US renter pool. Lastly, there were low levels of new construction from 2008-2012, although this is now changing fast.
GlobeSt.com: A lot of new multifamily development is aimed at Gen Y, but this is a demographic with a high unemployment rate, part-time work or parent subsidies. Why are developers trying to attract this group?
Daneshrad: The expectation is that they will eventually be fully employed. They are also a portion of the demographic that will be renters for the longest period of time.
GlobeSt.com: How do you expect unemployment to change in the second half of the year, and how will that affect the multifamily market?
Daneshrad: We expect unemployment to continue to drop very gradually, by about a half a percent per year, and we anticipate that it will have little to no impact on the multifamily market. There is a historically high new supply coming online in most markets, which puts pressure on rental rates and the general multifamily market. We don't expect anything drastic, but whatever benefit the market receives from the reduction in the unemployment rate should be offset by new supply.

Product Description
From Amazon
Marines are different: distinct not only from ordinary U.S. citizens but from the ranks of the army, navy, and air force as well. The difference begins with boot camp at Parris Island, South Carolina, where the history and future of the United States Marine Corps intersect in the training of every new recruit. In Making the Corps, Ricks follows a platoon of young men through 11 grueling weeks of boot camp as their drill instructors indoctrinate them into the culture of the Few and the Proud. Many arrive at Parris Island undisciplined and apathetic; they leave as marines.
With the end of the cold war, the role of the American military has shifted in emphasis from making war to keeping peace. "The best way to see where the U.S. military is going is to look at the marines today," says Ricks, as the other armed forces have begun to emulate the marine model. To understand Parris Island--a central experience in the life of every marine--is to understand the ethos of the Marine Corps. Ricks examines the recent changes in the Standard Operating Procedures for Recruit Training (the bible of Parris Island), which indicate how the corps is dealing with critical social and political issues like race relations, gender equality, and sexual orientation. Making the Corps pierces the USMC's "sis-boom-bah" mythology to help outsiders understand this most esoteric and eccentric of U.S. armed forces. --Tim Hogan --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Library Journal
Ricks, the Wall Street Journal's Pentagon correspondent, here follows a Marine Corps training platoon (#3086) from the arrival of the recruit bus at Parris Island, South Carolina, to graduation. The background he gives on most of the recruits is solid, but Ricks is also concerned with the recent history and present-day image of the corps. According to Ricks, what sets the Marines apart from other U.S. military services is its reliance on teamwork, discipline, and commitment. By following the 3086th through its first year, he not only shows how the new recruit is molded but paints a larger picture of the corps. John Wayne movies have shaped most Americans' image of the Marines?an image that, as Ricks shows, is not necessarily reality today. Highly recommended for all libraries, especially those with large historical collections.?Mark E. Ellis, Albany State Univ., Ga.

Ricks followed the crew of Platoon 3086 very closely. He did not change the names. He did not whitewash the situations. He followed them personally, but also incorporated pieces of information from official logs and follow-up evaluations. For all the mystery that seems to surround the Corps, it is a remarkably open organisation, and in many ways is like a Hollywood personality in search of a camera and the spotlight. Marines don't mind being in the spotlight. On the other hand, Marines strive to work as a team, so the stars of this book are, in reality, not the individuals, but the platoon, the Drill Instructors, and the Marine Corps itself. The story of Platoon 3086 could be repeated over and over. More than one million men and women have gone through Parris Island to become Marines. MCRD San Diego likewise turns out thousands per year.Read more ›
On the fascinating side, it's a human interest exploration of what it means to make it through book camp. Ricks follows the recruits of Platoon 3086 through their basic training ordeal, recounting the daily routine in the life of the average grunt recruit. That part of the story is pretty familiar to most everyone--to those of us who went through basic training ourselves, and also to those who've never been in the military but who have seen the million-and-one Hollywood movies with boot camp scenes in them. Familiar as the story is, however, Ricks telling of it is gripping. He's a good writer, and knows how to capture a reader's interest.
The frustrating aspect of the book is the fact that Ricks never asks, much less answers, any of the very obvious and crucial questions his account naturally suggests. Had he done so, his book would've been more than merely a journalist's story about boot camp. It would've been a real contribution to our understanding of American culture. For make no mistake about it: the very existence of the Corps is a prism through which to observe and learn things about America that go far beyond just the military.
Let me cite just two examples of where Ricks fails to reflect on what he's witnessing.
On pp. 116-119, Ricks describes a typical Sunday morning chapel call. All of us remember them; they were routine. Some of us took them seriously, most of us probably didn't. We were just relieved for the break. Now, in the Parris Island chapel, there's a stained glass window, described by Ricks, which depicts "a Marine flamethrower, his weapon's flames billowing out in a red, organce, and yellow mass.Read more ›
This would have been a great book if he started out with the beginning process of how the recruit is recruited and then begins his long journey into the Marine Corps. The trials and errors of each different type of recruit could be discussed.
I found it rather confusing to know what had happened with one recruit because too many references to other recruits were discussed at the same time. If he was to write about Marine Corps Boot Camp from the prespective of an outsider looking in, then he needs to write the entire process. So much of what actually happens in it was tainted by the political values of society. That should have been placed in a different book. He jumps from one subject to another and then back to the recruits lives.
What was disappointing was telling the readers that this recruit did not make it but then left it up in the air to discuss briefly in other chapters and then finally in the later chapters. There was no discussion about the training itself. For any Marine who has been through this training, we all know that it isn't just briefly touched on. So much happens when you go through it that are not even told in this book.
The Marine Corps is ever changing and he does touch briefly what happens in the Fleet and what the aftermath of the duty stations are like, but he make the Fleet look bad in certain aspects which unfortunately is true but not all experiences are the same. Only a few make it bad. What he did not touch upon is that the every Marine went through different changes in boot camp.Read more ›

Your Friendly Neighborhood Supercomputer
8,000 PCs and Nothing to Do...
The best financial advice that can be offered in any ecomonic climate is this: make your money work for you instead of you working for your money. Of course, making that work in real life is always a significant challenge. Using all the resources you possess can indeed be tricky--especially if you are not totally aware of the resources available to you.
Gateway Computers had an interesting problem with their resources. Sitting around their 272 retail stores were nearly 8,000 demonstration PCs, all running Windows something-or-other, churning away screensavers until a potential customer came along and test-drove the machine. But, in between all of those little point-and-click sessions, these machines were essentially doing nothing.
Having 8,000 computers sitting around doing nothing is a lot of overhead, both fiscally and computationally. All of these machines are top-of-the line (all the better for demos) and networked together into a company-wide WAN. But other than putting out heat, what could be done with these idle PCs?
The answer was both simple in concept and form: use the idling processors of these machines to form a massive grid computational system that could be put to work solving highly complex problems on a per-job basis.
So, hiding amidst the slick displays of your neighborhood Gateway store is a grid computer that can offer up to 14 teraFLOPS of processing power, all ready to serve the needs of Gateway's clients.
While on the surface this seems like a non-Linux story, it should be cleared up right away that Linux has a lot more to do with this than you might think. The server tying all of this processing power together is the United Devices MetaProcessor, which runs solely on Red Hat Linux.

Legionnaires Disease
- Author: Burke A Cunha, MD; Chief Editor: Michael Stuart Bronze, MD more...
Legionnaires disease (LD) is the pneumonia caused by Legionella pneumophila. LD also refers to a more benign, self-limited, acute febrile illness known as Pontiac fever, which has been linked serologically to L pneumophila, although it presents without pneumonia. (See Pathophysiology and Etiology.)
L pneumophila is an important cause of nosocomial and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and must be considered a possible causative pathogen in any patient who presents with atypical pneumonia. (See Clinical Presentation and Workup.)
The Legionella bacterium was first identified in the summer of 1976 during the 58th annual convention of the American Legion, which was held at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia. Infection was presumed to be spread by contamination of the water in the hotel's air conditioning system. The presentation ranged from mild flulike symptoms to multisystem organ failure. Of the 182 people infected, 29 died.
Although Legionella was not identified until 1976, L pneumophila was subsequently found in a clinical specimen dating to 1943 and, according to retrospective analysis, may have been responsible for pre-1976 pneumonia epidemics in Philadelphia; Washington, DC; and Minnesota.
Legionnaires disease is the term that collectively describes infections caused by members of the Legionellaceae family.
Bacterial characteristics
The Legionella bacterium is a small, aerobic, waterborne, gram-negative, unencapsulated bacillus that is nonmotile, catalase-positive, and weakly oxidase-positive. It is a fastidious organism and does not grow anaerobically or on standard media. Buffered charcoal yeast extract (CYE) agar is the primary medium used for isolation of the bacterium. (See Workup.)
The Legionellaceae family consists of more than 42 species, constituting 64 serogroups. L pneumophila is the most common species, causing up to 90% of the cases of legionellosis, followed by L micdadei (otherwise known as the Pittsburgh pneumonia agent), L bozemanii, L dumoffii, and L longbeachae. Fifteen serogroups of L pneumophila have been identified, with serogroups 1, 4, and 6 being the primary causes of human disease. Serogroup 1 is thought to be responsible for 80% of the reported cases of legionellosis caused by L pneumophila.[1]
Patient education
For patient education information, see Bronchoscopy.
Legionella species are obligate or facultative intracellular parasites. Water is the major environmental reservoir for Legionella; the bacteria can infect and replicate within protozoa such as Acanthamoeba and Hartmannella, which are free-living amoebae found in natural and manufactured water systems. (Legionellae can resist low levels of chlorine used in water distribution systems.)
Within the amebic cells, Legionella species can avoid the endosomal-lysosomal pathway and can replicate within the phagosome. Surviving and growing in amebic cells allows Legionella to persist in nature. (See the image below.)
Legionella species infect human macrophages and monocytes; intracellular replication of the bacterium is observed within these cells in the alveoli. The intracellular infections of protozoa and macrophages have many similarities.
Activated T cells produce lymphokines that stimulate increased antimicrobial activity of macrophages. This cell-mediated activation is key to halting the intracellular growth of legionellae. The significant role of cellular immunity explains why legionellae are observed more frequently in immunocompromised patients. Humoral immunity is thought to play a secondary role in the host response to legionellae infection.
Legionella transmission is thought to occur via inhalation of aerosolized mist from water sources, such as the following, that have been contaminated with the bacterium[2, 3] :
Cooling systems
Decorative fountains
Respiratory therapy equipment
Whirlpool spas
Ice machines
Potting soil
Roadside puddles
Legionnaires disease may be travel associated from exposure in aircraft or hotel facilities. Person-to-person transmission, however, has not been documented.
The highest incidence of Legionnaires disease occurs during late spring and early fall, when air-conditioning systems are used more frequently.[4, 5] Nosocomial acquisition likely occurs via aspiration, respiratory therapy equipment,[3] or contaminated water. In addition, transmission has been linked to the use of humidifiers, nebulizers, and items that were rinsed with contaminated tap water.
The following features increase the likelihood of colonization and amplification of legionellae in human-made water environments:
Temperature of 25-42°C
Scale and sediment
Presence of certain free-living aquatic amoebae capable of supporting intracellular growth of legionellae
Risk factors
The risk of infection increases with the type and intensity of the exposure, as well as the health status of the exposed individual. Numerous factors increase the risk of acquiring legionellae infections, including the following:
Advanced age
Chronic heart or lung disease
Immunocompromised hosts with impaired cell-mediated immunity (eg, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome [AIDS]) or immunosuppressive medication use (especially corticosteroids)
Hematologic malignancies
End-stage renal disease
Alcohol abuse
Occurrence in the United States
LD has a reported incidence of 8000-18,000 cases per year. In certain geographic areas, community-acquired LD is more common. Although LD is reportable in all 50 states, it is estimated that only 5-10% of cases are reported. While most cases of the disease are sporadic, 10-20% of them are linked to outbreaks. LD is more common in the summer, especially in August, and is slightly more prevalent in the northern US.
Prevalence reports for Legionella have increased with time, likely due to the availability of more effective testing modalities. However, it is also possible that Legionella infections are increasing in frequency for environmental, population-based, or behavioral reasons.
LD is among the top 3-4 microbial causes of CAP, constituting approximately 1-9% of patients with CAP who require hospitalization. LD is an even more common cause of severe pneumonia in patients who require admission to an intensive care unit (ICU), ranking second, after pneumococcal pneumonia, in such cases. In addition, it has become recognized as the most common cause of atypical pneumonia in hospitalized patients.
LD cases acquired in the hospital usually occur as outbreaks and most often result from the presence of legionellae in water sources and on surfaces (eg, pipes, rubber, plastics). The organism is also found in water sediment, which may explain its ability to persist despite flushing of hospital water systems.[6, 7]
International occurrence
LD is thought to occur worldwide and to be the cause of 2-15% of all CAP cases that require hospitalization. Outbreaks have been recognized throughout North America, Africa, Australia, Europe, and South America.
Sex- and age-related demographics
Men have a greater risk of acquiring L pneumophila infection. Older age is another risk factor; the weighted mean age for patients with LD is 52.7 years, with increasing incidence until age 79 years. Mortality rates are also higher in older patients. The incidence of LD in persons younger than 35 years is less than 0.1 cases per 100,000 people.
Recovery is variable in LD; some patients experience rapid improvement, while others have a much more protracted course despite treatment. The mortality rate approaches 50% with nosocomial infections.
Progressive respiratory failure is the most common cause of death in patients with Legionella pneumonia. However, the mortality rate depends on the comorbid conditions of the patient, as well as on the choice and timeliness of antibiotics administration. The site of acquisition (eg, nosocomial, community-acquired) may also affect the outcome.
See the list below:
Decreased pulmonary function
Fulminant respiratory failure
Dehydration, septic shock
Respiratory insufficiency, hypoxic respiratory failure
Neurologic symptoms: Including lethargy, headache, altered mental status, and nonfocal neurologic examination findings
Gastrointestinal symptoms: Diarrhea, vomiting
Multiple organ failure
Bacteremia or abscess formation (in the lungs or at extrapulmonary sites) in immunocompromised patients
Death: In 10% of treated nonimmunocompromised patients and in as many as 80% of untreated immunocompromised patients
A study by van Loenhout et al that included 190 patients with LD found that a year after the disease's onset, many patients were still suffering from 1 or more adverse health effects, particularly fatigue and reduced general quality of life.[8]

Montgomery County declared a state of emergency around 3 p.m. Wednesday, due to mounting power outages and damage from an ice storm.
Commissioner Josh Shapiro said 187,000 Peco customers - about two-thirds of the county - were without power. Many county buildings, including the Willow Grove Annex, the Youth Center's shelter school and some of the county's designated warming stations, were in the dark.
But there are other buildings ahead of them on the repair list - such asike Abington Memorial Hospital, which Shapiro said "is in dire need of getting back online and off the generators."

Tight duo battles chronic fatigue
Relevant offers
For most people catching the flu is just a bit of a nuisance - an interruption to the routine of daily life.
But for Whitford mother and daughter Wendy and Sophie Matthews catching the flu ended up being a defining moment in their lives. And not in a positive way.
After a number of visits to the doctor and trips in and out of hospital the pair was diagnosed with myalgic encephalomyelitis, more commonly known as chronic fatigue syndrome.
Although it is often not hereditary Wendy says there is a gene doctors can identify showing a predisposition to the illness.
Wendy, 58, who was diagnosed at 39 noticed something was wrong when she started walking to the left.
"It got to the stage where I could only shuffle. Then I ended up in bed for two years.
"It hits every system in the body and you get all sorts of symptoms. The things most people do naturally I struggle to achieve," she says.
Wendy dreaded waking up in the morning knowing it would be a challenge just to make it through the day.
"In the really bad times I would watch the clock and just try to get through the next five minutes," she says.
Wendy and her daughter have become a lot closer through their shared illness and understanding of one another.
"We spend a lot of time together and know each other well enough that when we have cognitive issues we understand without words."
Sophie, 24, was the top of her class and had aspirations of tertiary education, travelling and living happily ever after.
Instead she watches her twin sister live out the dreams she once had for herself.
"Having my twin out in the real world has been both a challenge and a reward.
"I try really hard to not be jealous because I would hate it if she was jealous of me. It's kept me in touch with what is happening outside the walls of my house.
"I've gone through so many things in my life that are hard already. You become numb to pain and learn to not dwell."
Because each case of chronic fatigue is different doctors are unable to say whether or not Sophie will recover.
"It can either be character-building or character-breaking," the 24-year-old says.
Despite the crippling illness that riddles the mother and daughter, the strength they draw from one another has created a tight team determined to fight chronic fatigue to the bitter end.
A community fundraiser will be held to raise awareness of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome at 7.30pm, February 9, at Howick's Uxbridge Arts Centre.
The event is called You and ME and is a live art auction showcasing work contributed by East Auckland artists.
The night will feature live folk bands, speakers on chronic fatigue syndrome and provide information to allow people to better understand the condition.
Proceeds will fund the development and commission of a local area field worker to aid and assist administration of East Auckland CFS Support.
Email eastcfsgroup@ gmail.com for more information.

All train services by the very nature of what they do suffer occasional unforeseen overcrowding. South West Trains have a deliberate overcrowding policy, leaving it to the long-suffering guards to apologise day after day. It's not poor line management or even gross incompetence, but a purely cynical exercise for which South West Trains richly-rewarded directors are only too happy to encourage. Disgraceful… Read Full Review

This bunch must surely be the worst rail company in the country. Trains rarely, if ever on time. That's if they actually turn up. If you're lucky enough to get on one of their trains be prepared to sit in packed dirty carriages. Oh and if the train is delayed good luck finding a member of staff to ask what''s going on. Don't bother asking them on Twitter either as they don't respond and delete anything that tells the truth about their shambolic, awful service… Read Full Review

For about the fifth time in a year, the Weymouth train which was running over an hour and a half late dumped all of its pasengers at Bournemouth. No explanations, no announcements, no staff to help.

Trains are always late, guards/train managers are frequently rude and treat you like a criminal even if you have bought a ticket. Leaving Exeter St Davids or Central both have ticket barriers so I don't see the need to check tickets. Trying to get a train from Pinhoe is just tediously stupid, there is only a train every two hours, then again even those are always late. This company needs to be stripped of its franchise because they obviously cannot run a railway. I find it a one massive joke… Read Full Review

There was a disruption to the service, but until you got on a train that was not marked for Portsmouth, there was no info on how to get to Portsmouth. Then the driver tells us that we will need to get a bus at haslemere, to havant, and catch another train. I got the bus and the driver told us similar info, I got off the bus and while everyone else on the bus either filed away or got in a cab, I went to the train station, waited for the train to arrive at 01.16 ish, it didn't come and it says… Read Full Review

So we have waited for so many years for the new stock of trains, I remember when the old carriages with manually opening doors were phased out to be replaced by the existing poorly designed carriages.

I travelled First Class. It was not a First Class experience. There were no refreshments were available for over an hour after departure from Exeter. There was no power in the carriage, so I could not see to read properly nor could anyone charge their laptops/phones - not the first time this has happened to me on this service.

For collection of Infra Red spectral data of liquid or solid samples it is desirable to achieve a spectral range extending from 4000cm-1 to 400cm-1. Traditionally, the use of liquid transmission cells with KBr windows allows for this transmission range of light to be collected, but there may be compromise of the liquid cells structural integrity if the sample itself contains any aqueous component which will attack the KBr windows. In this application note, an alternative method using the Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) technique is described. The Specac Quest™ ATR accessory can be used to measure volatile solutions or solvents, such as Methanol, Acetone and Cuvertin.

I loved the idea of these, but I'm really sorry to say that no one liked them that much. They were a bit too chewey for us, which I think was caused by the Special K Strawberry cereal, but I'm not sure. I used the strawberry preserves in them and they looked pretty and baked up nicely. It just wasn't for us. Thanks anyway for posting it.
These were great! I made them to have with tea for my grandparents, and they really enjoyed them. I didnt have any strawberry preserves on hand, so I used raspberry instead. I never thought of baking with cereal...what a neat idea!
