No major changes to UBS forecasts needed
The growth figures published in recent weeks for the fourth quarter of 2001 show that Switzerland has only narrowly escaped recession. After reviewing their earlier forecasts, UBS economists have decided to leave their estimate for Swiss economic growth in 2002 at the 1% announced in September 2001.
The 2003 growth forecast also remains unchanged at 1.8%, which would bring Switzerland back towards its trend growth path next year. UBS economists see no need to revise their inflation forecasts. Consumer price increases will continue to be modest both this year and next, with inflation rates of 0.7% and 1.2% respectively.
There are now clear signs of economic improvement in the US and Europe. In Switzerland, too, the indicators are signalling that the economy has bottomed out. However, the UBS forecast does not envisage a noticeable improvement until the second half of this year. In view of this fact, the Swiss National Bank (SNB) is expected to make no change in interest rates. With growth still tentative and inflation set to remain modest for the time being, we are likely to see a fairly long period of stable rates. The UBS experts do not believe the SNB will change its monetary policy stance until December at the earliest. The Swiss franc, meanwhile, is likely to ease down towards 1.50 versus the euro over the next 12 months.

You... liked it? I thought this was one of the weakest scenes in HS thus far. Like he's trying to write a parody of dystopian fiction but it ends up using all the tropes in an obvious way plus clown references. I thought it was better with the information we had; we could imagine for ourselves how bad the Condense's rule could have been based on her past character.

Now that you've purchased your digital multimeter, you're ready for the next step: choosing the right accessories. A complement of accessories can enhance the versatility of the digital multimeter, instantly changing it from a voltage meter to a current meter to a thermometer - and much more.
The key to gaining the most from your instrument is selecting the accessories that best fit your workload. Just as you took pains to choose a high-quality digital multimeter, you'll want to select high-quality accessories to maximize your instrument investment. Many categories of accessories exist, from different types of test probes and current clamps to a variety of protective cases and carrying devices. The specific accessories you need both depend on 1) what you're planning to test and 2) the environment in which you will use your instrument. This article provides an overview of the many types of accessories available and explains which ones are best suited for different types of workloads.
In choosing multimeter accessories, the first thing you need to know is what parameters you need to test. For each parameter (voltage, temperature, etc.), a wide range of test probes is available, each designed for a specific type of test environment. The following is an overview of the types of probes available for each type of multimeter functionality. Voltage test probes for measuring voltage are available in a full spectrum of forms. The best choices depend on the nature of your particular workload.
Voltage level. With what kinds of voltage levels are you working? For example, if your work environment includes high-energy systems in an industrial plant, you'll require a robust probe capable of measuring high voltages (600V or higher) while withstanding the high energy present in these environments. On the other hand, if you work with low-energy electronic circuits, a less-robust probe may be better suited to your needs.
Frequency. Another factor to consider is whether you need to measure frequency as well as voltage. When working with low-voltage electronics operating at high frequencies, for example, you may need a probe capable of accurately measuring both voltage and frequency.
Accuracy. Then, there's the nagging question: How accurate does a probe need to be? If you work with low-voltage applications, such as motor control or process control circuits, you may require a specialized probe that provides accurate measurements at the millivolt (mV) level. On the other hand, if your job simply involves making sure that line voltage is present - for example, at motor terminals - a standard-duty probe may be all you need.
Other considerations. Voltage probes come in many different styles. Keeping this in mind, choose a probe that is most appropriate for the type of measurement being conducted. If you plan to take readings over time, or will wait to take a measurement after a particular event occurs, a clip to attach to the test point is very useful. For small-gauge wires or test points, you'll need a small alligator clip; for larger-gauge wires or terminals, a large alligator clip is handy. If you need to reach deep into a recessed panel to contact a terminal strip, you'll need a long probe; if the terminals are closely spaced, a narrow probe is appropriate. And if you need to pierce through dirt or corrosion to take your measurement, you'll require a sharp probe. These are just a few of the form factors to consider when choosing the proper voltage probe for your specific task.
Temperature. Temperature measurements are another common use of digital multimeters. But in order to turn your multimeter into a thermometer, you will want the right temperature probe.
Contact vs. noncontact. The first question is whether you'll be able to make physical contact with the item being measured or will need to take measurements without touching the item. In most electrical workloads involving temperature measurements, the item being measured is also electrically "hot" and therefore dangerous to touch. In such a case, choosing a noncontact probe that uses an infrared sensor is wise. For example, a noncontact probe is appropriate for measuring the temperature of such electrically-hot devices as transformers, circuit breakers or electrical connections. Conversely, if you're able to touch the probe to the item being measured, you may prefer a contact probe. Immersion probes for measuring liquids or pipe clamps for measuring the temperature of pipes are two examples of contact probes.
Gas/liquid/solid. When measuring non-energized items, your choice of probe depends on whether you are measuring a gas, a liquid or a surface. For example, if you're measuring the temperature of exhaust gases, you'll want an air probe; for measuring the temperature of liquids in a process plant, you'll need an immersion probe; and for measuring the temperature of equipment surfaces, such as the door of an electrical panel, you'll use a surface probe.
Range, accuracy and response time. A final set of questions deals with what temperature range you are likely to measure, how accurately you need to measure it and how rapidly you need a response. Probes differ in each of these factors, so it's important to pick the probe that's right for your workload. If you aren't measuring extremes of temperature and standard accuracy will do, you'll probably do fine with a general-purpose temperature probe that can measure a broad range of temperatures. Such a probe would be appropriate, for example, when taking general atmospheric temperatures (for instance, to make sure a heating system is working properly). On the other hand, if your work requires more accurate readings within a narrower range, you might need a more specialized probe. If you deal with refrigerants, for example, you will need a temperature probe capable of reading below 0??? F; and if you measure exhaust gases in a furnace, you will require a probe capable of withstanding high temperatures as well as measuring them.
Current. Measuring current can be more difficult than measuring voltage because the measuring instrument typically needs to be placed in series with the current being measured - a step that may require the electrical circuit to be opened. Yet in many cases, shutting down a plant or a process to measure current may not be an option. That's where current clamps become a handy alternative. By using a current clamp, electrical current can be measured without interrupting the circuit. As with other types of measurements, your individual workload determines the necessary type of current clamp.
AC or DC. Are you measuring AC or DC current - or both? When measuring AC line voltage with a DC offset, you would need a current clamp that measures both AC and DC current to attain an accurate reading. On the other hand, if you are only measuring AC current, you can save money by purchasing an AC-only current clamp.
Range. What current range will you be measuring? For example, if the measured circuit is carrying less than 200A, you can use a smaller current clamp. But if you're measuring 600A, a larger clamp capable of fitting around larger conductors is needed.
Voltage. You also need to know the voltage of the circuit you're measuring, since you need to be sure to choose a current clamp that is rated safe for the voltage involved.
Light. If fiber-optic cables are part of your work environment, you may need to measure the amount of light they transmit. A cable that has been nicked, bent too sharply, crimped or broken will not transmit light as it should, but with the proper light module, a digital multimeter can be used to isolate any transmission problems. When choosing a light module, a key consideration is the volume of light carried by the cable. Some light modules are designed for the lower end of the spectrum (around 850 nm); while others are designed to perform at the higher end (around 1,300 nm).
Test leads. Test leads vary according to several parameters: their insulation, flexibility, length and voltage and current rating. In each case, you'll want to choose the type of lead that best fits your work environment. Insulation test leads may be made of either PVC or silicone. PVC leads, which cost less, are appropriate for mild environments such as in a lab or on a workbench. Silicone leads, which retain their flexibility in cold environments and won't burn or melt in hot environments, would be a better choice if you work outside in cold weather or around hot industrial equipment.
Flexibility. Test lead flexibility is determined in part by how many conductor wires the lead has and how fine the wires are. A lead with fewer and larger conductor strands will be stiffer, but will cost less because it's less expensive to manufacture. A lead with many fine conductor strands will be more flexible and less prone to tangle, which could save you a considerable amount of time if you store your leads in a toolbox. Another factor affecting flexibility is the type of insulation. Typically, silicone leads are more flexible than PVC leads.
Length. Test lead length can range from 2 ft to 6 ft. If you don't need the extra length, you'll probably find it more convenient to choose a shorter lead. But if your leads are too short for the application, your job will be more difficult. In such a case, you could either buy a new set of longer leads or a set of test lead extensions to lengthen your existing leads. Voltage and current rating. Finally, it's necessary to choose test leads whose voltage and current ratings match those of the item you're measuring. These ratings are described as Cat. I through IV. For example, if you're measuring line voltages going to industrial motors, you may want a lead that can handle up to 1,000V and 10A continuously. Then again, if you're testing circuit-board components, you may need only a 300V probe rated for 2A.
Safety considerations. An important set of considerations when choosing your accessories is safety. The two key factors are 1) the rating of the accessory, and 2) tour work practice. The nature of your work environment will actually determine what rating and construction quality you need.
Category rating. With regard to the safety rating of your accessory, it should relate to the environment in which it is used. In addition to the proper voltage rating, the accessory should also have the proper overvoltage installation category rating (e.g. Cat. I, Cat. II, Cat. III, Cat. IV.)
The different rating categories relate directly to energy levels occurring in different electrical environments. Cat. I indicates a low-energy and Cat. IV represents a very high-energy environment.

No tool by itself can guarantee your safety. It's the combinations of the right tools and safe work practices that give you maximum protection. Here are a few tips to help in your work:
- Work on de-energized circuits whenever possible.
- Use proper lock-out/tag-out procedures. If these procedures are not in place or not enforced, assume that the circuit is live.
- When working on live circuits, use protective gear.
- Use insulated tools.
- Wear safety glasses or a face shield.
- Wear insulated gloves; remove watches or other jewelry.
- Stand on an insulated mat.
- Wear flame-retardant clothing, not ordinary work clothes.
- When making measurements on live circuits: hook on the ground clip first, then make contact with the hot lead. Remove the hot lead first, the ground lead last.
- Hang or rest the meter if possible. Try to avoid holding it in your hands to minimize personal exposure to the effects of transients.
- Use the three-point test method, especially when checking to see if a circuit is dead.
- Use the three-point test method, especially when checking to see if a circuit is dead.
First, test a known live circuit. Second, test the target circuit. Third, test the live circuit, again. This procedure verifies that your meter worked properly before and after the measurement.
- Remember the old electrician's trick of keeping one hand in your pocket. This lessens the chance of engaging a closed circuit across your chest and through your heart.
PROTECTING YOUR INSTRUMENT A final set of considerations to keep in mind when choosing accessories is how you will protect your instrument. A variety of specially designed cases are available to protect your multimeter and keep it readily accessible. The type of case that's best for you depends on your work environment.
Hard cases. If you drive a service truck, you may want to keep your multimeter in an oversize case with other instruments and accessories. In that type of rough-and-tumble work environment, a hard protective case with separate compartments may be the best choice.
Soft cases. If you carry a tool bucket or wear a toolbelt, you may prefer a soft case (available with or without a belt loop). Oversized soft cases are also available.
Holsters. Another way to protect your instrument is with a rubber holster, or boot, which protects the body of the device while leaving the front exposed for use.

Moose Lake police officer leaves department
Becky Benson is well known in Moose Lake. She was literally an officer on the street, visiting businesses and talking to people.
"Because I spent so much time with the public, I knew that they would approach me when they needed to tell me something," she said in a recent interview. "People don't like to call 911."
However, on a personal level, Becky only had every third weekend off and worked shift work. She left the Moose Lake Police Department on December 6 to take a position as a special investigator at the Minnesota Sex Offender Program, located in Moose Lake.
"I'll be working straight days and have every weekend off," Becky said. "My mother is really happy that I'm off the streets."
Becky grew up in Mathtowa and worked as a scanning coordinator and accountant at the Moose Lake IGA. But the business closed and Becky became a displaced worker.
She qualified for retraining, and she attended Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College to earn her degree in law enforcement.
"The Dislocated Worker's Program paid for my books, tuition and transportation," said Becky.
After completing her law enforcement training, Becky worked in the jail for the Carlton County Sheriff's Office on an on-call, part-time basis.
She took a full-time position in Itasca County and worked part-time for a security service while in that area.
However, Becky was able to return to her home area when a full-time position as a police officer opened up in Moose Lake. She has been with the department for eight years.
"I was fortunate to land that full-time police job close to home," she recalled. "Dale Heaton was the police chief. I've worked under the current police chief, Bryce Bogenholm, for three years."
Becky said that she enjoyed her years with the Moose Lake Police Department. She got to know people and knew the layout of the community well.
"I think community policing is the way to go," she said. "I knew basement escape routes in the businesses. If there was ever a situation, I knew the layout.
"Because we are such a small community, you have to be in touch with people."
Besides responding to emergencies and making traffic stops, Becky has been asked to speak to groups of young people.
"When I was asked, I would go and talk to the Girl Scouts and to community events to talk to children," said Becky. "I have spoken at Little Bs in Barnum. I let them know that we are there to help."
Becky has been called by parents of children who are headed down the wrong path.
"I've been called by some parents to scare their kids," she said. "I go and talk to them but I always turn it into a positive. I am really like a social worker but that's what is needed in a small town. Sometimes that's all that is needed."
As much as she enjoyed being a police officer, Becky knew that she had to make a job change at this time in her life to reach personal goals.
"I want to have more time with my family and my grandchild," she said. "My priorities in life have changed a little bit, this new position will better accommodate my life."
Becky said that her daughter and toddler grandson, Kylea and her son, Aiden, live in Moose Lake, and she sees them often. Kylea has followed in her mother's footsteps and has a degree in criminology. She is employed at the Department of Corrections, Moose Lake.
Becky said that she already misses the people that she used to see on a daily basis, and she misses the camaraderie with her fellow officers.
"I think that we worked well together," she said. "We got to know each other well and knew each other's families."
Becky is looking forward to spending more time with her family. Her and her husband, Jim, enjoy pheasant hunting in the Ortonville area in southwestern Minnesota. She has picked up polished chunks of granite there, and has made them into cutting boards for cheese, candle holders and wall hangings. Her craft items are on display at Joe Jitter's Coffeehouse, and have been selling well.
She also owns a travel trailer and keeps it at her mother's cabin in Wisconsin, where she spends a lot of time in the summer. Gardening is another one of Becky's interests.
Becky is looking to the future.
"I'm looking forward to the next chapter in my life with new people and new challenges," she said. "I will always keep a positive attitude. Life's too short not to."

He will be a bench player.......Guy has balls to keep shooting,,,,,,,Nobody drives the ball.....
For the dude who said we should not panic ..I think as long as woody leads the way we will continue to be the dysfuctional team unless he all of a sudden gets some balls....
Kiyaman is so right......A rookie in his 3rd game , who is shooting horribly and making bad choices is in the one being chose to finish the game.....If I am a veteran on the bench one has to look at Woody and be like WTF.
This is Woody's thinking....If Hardaway is 0-7 he is bound to his one sooner then later.......a moron of a coach.
We're going to love for Tim is because of his lineage of being a Hardaway and ignore everything else.
BTW, this hype about Hardaway having a jump shot is comedy. It's average on a good day, non existent on a bad day. He's never been a high % shooter in college, always been on the average level. You guys treat him like he has Curry/Redick shooting ability.
He won't even be close to Jamal Crawford.
Please check his college stats and report back.
Draft Express said the following:
True Shooting Percentage - "Hardaway Jr. had the third lowest usage rate in this group, and is also the third least efficient scorer overall, which certainly raises some question marks."
"Hardaway Jr.'s relative lack of productivity and efficiency as a junior—ranking last among college players in this group-- is one of many question marks scouts will consider as they project his transition from the University of Michigan to the NBA, though his role in Michigan's run to the National Championship game is not to be overlooked."
Free throw attempts - "The fact that Tim Hardaway Jr comes in at second worst is a bit of a surprise. Neither an elite athlete nor a true knock-down perimeter jump shooter, Hardaway Jr. will need to improve his ball-handling skills and sub-70% free throw percentage."
Player efficiency - "Tim Hardaway Jr., Archie Goodwin, Vander Blue, and Michael Snaer round out the bottom-five. While Goodwin is an extremely young player and showed flashes of turning into a dominant scorer down the road, Hardaway Jr.'s mediocre standing by the numbers as a veteran among his fellow shooting guards suggests that his meteoric rise up draft boards due to strong workouts may not be entirely deserving." Draft Express
Oh, but the excuse will always be "We were drafting 24, lets cop out and accept the fact we made an illogical pick, which is excusable"
Rudy Grobert, Nate Wolters and Tony Mitchell is all I will say right now.
Too much time for Felton even Clyde said in 1st quarter waisting time for dribbling drive into paint or pass the ball.
too less time for Prigioni 2nd straight game no Udrih
and that 7 footer from pre season 0 minutes
again Woodson is using just 4 bench player
i hope JR will change alot otherwise we can have a problem with 8th place Spurs r coming to town this sunday.
I still dont like S5.
On to the Bobcats .. Do Kemba Walker & Session push the ball like Rubio & Barea?
Will the Bobcat game have a 20 or more point lead too?

Whilst undergoing chemotherapy for Cancer, my little sister would often tell me that she felt sore and suffered with flu like symptoms a few days into her treatment. Like anyone who sees a member of their family in distress I accessed the internet to see if I could find a suitable remedy that would not interfere with her medication or cause her discomfort in any way.
Pure Argan Oil
I read many articles on all kinds of different products and sourced one which seemed to be the answer to lots of differing skin conditions. It is Pure Argan Oil, the Moroccan miracle oil I call it because being mild and light it is quickly absorbed into the skin. My little sister has 'Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma' and Argan Oil is excellent for massage.
We both live at home so every morning and evening when she takes her bath once she is dry and feeling comfortable, I tell her to relax and lie on her bed then I apply a few drops of Moroccan Argan oil to my palms and very gently massage the oil into her skin, taking great care around the lymph glands not to put too much pressure here as these areas are particularly sensitive for her.
She loves nothing more than a full body massage and it's the least I can do for her at the moment. My sister has such a wonderful good nature and is so stoic in the face of this terrible illness. When she is having a good day and feeling energetic, which is mostly between chemo treatments, she even massages me or our Mum and even one day did the dog; who loved it.
Why We Love Argan Oil
We all love Argan Oil for its pureness, lightness and moisturising benefits. Whatever chemotherapy does for some people I can only say that when she is feeling well – on her good days – my little sister looks radiant. She loves the softness of her skin, as she felt the chemotherapy much as it was helping her, was also taking away her natural skin moisture. We guess if chemo is fighting her Cancer then thank goodness it is available on the NHS in this country. Pure Argan Oil should be too as it is chemical free and full of anti-oxidants. There are many websites online selling this oil but only a few actually sell pure oil.
Who Uses Argan Oil
I bought several before settling on Pure Argan oil. A couple of the ones I tried were for culinary purposes and my sister said "you're not using that on me." Another one was highly perfumed and as I suspected full of parabens. I had to be careful and I finally found a site that imports Pure Argan Oil from Morocco to Scotland. Fortunately they ship worldwide. I discovered that Argan Oil is widely popular in Scandinavia and Scotland because it acts as an excellent balm and sooths mosquito and midge bitten skin (the midge is the Northern European equivalent of the mosquito). Argan oil reduces redness and inflammation from the stinging bites of these little critters.
My sister loves its non-greasy, lightness and moisturising qualities. We want to spread the word.

The last time Christianity Today talked to Scott Stapp, Creed, the popular rock band he had fronted for nearly a decade, had just broken up after years of internal bickering.
It was the summer of 2004, and while his three bandmates went off to form their own group, Alter Bridge, Stapp pursued a solo career and, by his own reckoning, God. Fans had long speculated about Stapp's faith, but he was never very vocal about it because Creed didn't want to be pigeonholed as a "Christian band." But in that conversation with CT, Stapp came right out and said, "I am a Christian." He had just watched The Passion of the Christ and recorded a song for an album inspired by the film.
But shortly thereafter, Stapp started making news again for the wrong reasons. He got into a drunken brawl in a hotel lobby. He showed up intoxicated for a TV interview. Even after marrying a Christian woman in 2006, he was arrested for public drunkenness on the day after his wedding. A year later, he was arrested for domestic abuse after a night of partying; his wife, Jaclyn, dropped the charges after Stapp publicly apologized.
Today, Stapp has been sober for just over one year, and he's telling his story in a new memoir, Sinner's Creed (Tyndale), to be released October 2. In the book, Stapp confesses his many misdeeds and how he is now right with God. But he also reveals a troubling family background. When Scott—born Anthony Scott Flippen—was 8, his single mother married Steve Stapp, who was emotionally and physically abusive, according to Scott.
The singer writes that Steve Stapp told him God made man as "priest and prophet of the household. I make ...1

Map makers used to draw dragons at the edge of the explored ocean. "Beyond here be dragons" was the accepted view of what lay beyond the horizon. Beyond Here is a project I began with some trepidation, not for fear of uncharted waters, but rather for fear of not being able to find uncharted waters. The ocean is big enough to hold any metaphor, and its meanings have been explored by artists for ages.
Unsure of a claim to originality, it was tempting to abandon this project at its inception. Abandonment, as it turned out, would form the key element of this series.
The project started by accident on a still January evening. I was packing up my camera equipment after a cold day working alongside the Atlantic Ocean for the Floating Stones series. My concentration was spent. It was a relief to simply watch the ocean for a few minutes before hiking back to the car. Feeling light, I unpacked the camera and took a few frames of the sea without using a tripod. Before long an unlikely giddiness blew in on the winter wind. I began taking long exposures while panning from side, then while walking forwards and backwards. I took unfocused photos, underexposed photos, and overexposed photos. It was a complete abandonment of traditional landscape photography methods and a glorious waste of film.
Some time later I scanned the collection of imperfect images into a computer and re-assembled the scene into a single photograph. One view was created from several different approaches to photographing it. Here was the new horizon I was looking for. Let Beyond Here be a place for your own thoughts...ultimately every view of the ocean is one's own.

Dr. Luciani,
Me and my girlfriend have been together for almost a year now. She confessed that she was in depression before we met and once our relationship was formalized she felt like if love took over her depression. I believe love is an amazing thing but not a cure to a depression. She had a very though year. From the dead of a family member to a miscarriage that affected both of us tremendously. We been in individual therapy ever since and decided to give us a month of space to deal with our insecurities, depression, etc. The love for each other has been always evident, the fact that we trust each other and always been talking about getting married and having a family. Last time I spoke with her she said that she feels like she doesnt know what she want in life anymore, that shes very confussed and she even said she doesnt even know if she loves me anymore.
There are different ways for me to react to this. I want to be very careful since I love her with all my heart, and I dont want to do anything that affects her more than what she already is. Is this possible?? Just stoping loving somebody like that? Should I treat this as a symptom of her depression? or could it be a symptom of infatuation?
With depression, falling in love can, in fact, shift our emotions as well as our chemistry, temporarily eclipsing a depression. Most relationships begin with infatuation (which can be seen as a heightened state of emotional euphoria and well-being) and as the infatuation wears off and the relationship inevitably comes down to earth (all infatuations eventually die), true love can begin to take root. Your relationship has endured many challenges that, along with the depression, have come to eclipse the loving feelings you once had. It's hard to know whether what's going on right now is because of a lack of love, ending of an infatuation or simply confusion and depression. It seems to me that since you are both in therapy, time and patience are essential. Only when the shadow of depression is lifted will you be able to understand where you both stand with each other.

WALDOBORO, Maine — For weeks, Randy Joubert and Gary Nisbet laughed off customers' comments that the two furniture deliverymen looked similar enough to be brothers.
It wouldn't be long before fate would prove the old adage, the customer is always right.
Joubert said something in him clicked after yet another customer asked the same question during a routine delivery in late August.
Prefacing his line of questioning with the statement, "Don't think I'm weird," Joubert asked his co-worker a few pointed questions based on names and dates gleaned from his own adoption records.
Seconds later, Joubert realized that the man who had been on the other end of countless couches, mattresses and recliners since July wasn't just a co-worker. Nisbet was the long-lost brother for whom he had been searching.
"I said, 'Gary, do you understand what I am telling you? We are brothers,'" Joubert, 36, recalled Friday. "I think I kept saying that. We had a few more deliveries and it was just the Twilight Zone."
"I went home and I just dropped," said Nisbet, 35. "I thought, 'I think I have a brother.'"
It's a story that seems too perfect even for a movie: Two brothers, born a year apart, grow up in adoptive families in neighboring towns and attending rival schools. As adults, each lives in Waldoboro but spends 35 years not knowing about the other's existence.
Then they end up not only working for the same small business, in this case Dow Furniture in Waldoboro, but also riding together in the same delivery truck day after day.
Yet somehow, their amazing story doesn't end there.
On Thursday, a teary-eyed woman from nearby Warren showed up at the furniture gallery claiming to be their half-sister — and she had the birth certificate and other paperwork to prove it.
Joubert said there is only one explanation: fate.
"It has to be," he said Friday. "All of these things had to happen" to bring the group together.
"I'm really awestruck," said Joanne Campbell, who was born to the same mother five and six years before the two men. "After all of these years, here I am 41 and now I finally found my brothers."
This undeniably happy story had a tragic beginning, however.
All three siblings — as well as a fourth sister, according to Campbell — ended up in foster care and eventually adoptive families after being taken by the state from their mother.
Joubert said he learned from state records that one of his grandfathers had rushed him at age 2 months to a doctor after finding him severely malnourished. Campbell said that, unlike Joubert and Nisbet, she actually knew her mother, who died in the mid-1990s, but that she never developed a relationship with her because of the past problems.
Joubert was able to gain access to his adoption records through a fairly new state law, one that coincidentally was supported by his boss at the furniture store, former state Sen. Dana Dow, R-Waldoboro.
It was in those records that he found the names of his biological mother and father, Wilfred and Joan Pomroy. But it wasn't until he asked state officials for more information that he learned he had a younger brother from the same parents, both of whom are now deceased.
"I thought, how in the world am I going to search for this guy? He is going to have a different [last] name, like me," he said.
Little did Joubert know, his little brother was also going by a different first name. Nisbet's given name on his birth certificate is Gaylord.
Nisbet, meanwhile, previously had learned the names of his birth parents after petitioning the court for his records but didn't know about a brother.
The two men began working together in July when Joubert was hired at the place where Nisbet has worked for seven years.
In retrospect, both men acknowledge that the thought of their being related crossed their minds at least once. Joubert said he even mentioned it to his girlfriend after his first day on the job.
As the siblings sat together on a showroom couch, it's easy to see why customers thought they were related. Both men are stocky and on the shorter side with eerily similar faces. On Friday, they were also both sporting hats, similar styles of eyeglasses and goatees.
Joubert is undoubtedly the more talkative of the pair. When asked for his initial reaction to the news that he had a brother, Nisbet simply replied, "Blown away."
But both men said the realization has dramatically changed their lives.
It has also garnered them significant attention. In addition to local media coverage, the two men are scheduled to fly to New York City this weekend to be featured on NBC's "Today" show on Monday.
Several of their co-workers at Dow Furniture said it couldn't happen to two nicer guys. There were plenty of tears of joy shed the other day when they broke the astounding news to their colleagues, and emotions are still running high.
"It's improved the work environment to have such a wonderful thing happening," said co-worker Sonia Bates.

Lymphomas are either Hodgkin's lymphomas or non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Hodgkin's lymphomas have a type of cell called Reed-Sternberg cells. Lymphomas without these cells are non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. This topic is about Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). To learn about Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, see the topic Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
Hodgkin's lymphoma is a cancer that begins in part of the immune system (the lymph system). White blood cells called lymphocytes can become abnormal or increase in number and grow without control. They may form lumps of tissue called tumors, usually in the lymph nodes of the neck, armpits, or chest.
Hodgkin's lymphoma is also called Hodgkin's.
This topic is about the most common type of Hodgkin's lymphoma, called classical Hodgkin's lymphoma. There are other types of Hodgkin's.
Like other cancers, Hodgkin's can spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body. To find out how severe your cancer is, your doctor will classify it by stage and grade.
Hodgkin's is a very curable cancer compared to other cancers. But treatment success depends on your gender, the type of Hodgkin's you have, its stage, and your age when you are diagnosed.
Experts don't know what causes Hodgkin's lymphoma. Some things are known to increase the chance that you will get it. These are called risk factors. Risk factors include:
Symptoms of Hodgkin's include swollen lymph nodes, a fever, weight loss, and night sweats.
Your doctor will ask you about your and your family's medical history and will do a physical exam. You may also get:
Treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma depends on what type you have and the stage of the disease. It also depends on the size of the tumor, your age, and your symptoms. It is usually treated with medicines called chemotherapy. You may need radiation treatment.
If the cancer comes back, you may need a stem cell transplant.
Side effects
Radiation and chemotherapy can have serious side effects. But the benefits of the medicine are usually more important than any side effects. Side effects may go away after you use the treatment for a while.
Your medical team will help you manage the side effects of your treatment. If you have chemotherapy or radiation, you may need medicines to control nausea and vomiting.
Fatigue is common with cancer treatment. But staying active and eating well before, during, and after your treatment may help you have more energy.
Talk with your doctor and medical team about your side effects.
Clinical trials
You may be interested in taking part in research studies called clinical trials. Clinical trials are based on the most up-to-date information. They carefully study the use of new treatments and new combinations of current treatments.

In 2001, Mila Kunis appeared in Get Over It opposite Kirsten Dunst. She starred in the 2002 straight-to-DVD horror film American Psycho 2 alongside William Shatner which was a sequel to the 2000 film American Psycho starring Christian Bale. American Psycho 2 was panned by critics; later, Kunis herself expressed embarrassment over the film. In 2007, she appeared in After Sex alongside Zoe Saldana (who also appeared in Get Over It), as well as in Boot Camp and Moving McAllister alongside Jon Heder.

Great Britain's Rachel Morris was awarded bronze in the women's H1-3 road race at Brands Hatch after crossing the line holding hands with team-mate Karen Darke in an apparent bid to share the medal.
Morris and Darke finished one minute 34 seconds behind Marianna Davis of the United States, who added road race gold to her time-trial victory on Wednesday, and despite their best efforts to finish together and share bronze, Morris placed third in a photo finish.
Monica Bascio, another American, was second, 33 seconds behind, before the British duo rode towards the final place on the podium at the end of the 48-kilometre race.
"We wanted it together, we crossed the line with our hands together," Darke, who won time-trial silver on Wednesday, told Channel Four.
Morris said: "We worked so hard together."
The 33-year-old from Guildford won time-trial gold in Beijing, but was injured and had her bike written off in an accident with a car in July which left her place in London in doubt. She was fifth in the time-trial on Wednesday.
Morris added: "I've not had the best lead-in to this Games. This bronze medal means more than gold. It just means everything."
It was the British cycling team's 21st medal of the Games, taking the team past the 20 they won in 2008.
Ireland's Mark Rohan won his second event of the Games with victory in the men's H1 road race.
Rohan finished two seconds ahead of Tobias Frankhauser, with Wolfgang Schattauer of Austria third.

Last Friday's women's basketball bout at Chestnut Hill College involved two teams that were followed by frustration through the 2011 portion of the season. The host Griffins were able to close out the old year on a positive note, though, rising to 2-9 overall with a 63-59 victory over visiting Mercy College, which retreated back to Dobbs Ferry, NY with a record of 0-10.
The contest was close throughout, as Chestnut Hill earned a 34-31 halftime lead, but found itself down by a point, 54-53, with five minutes left to play. Senior forward Ebony Washington gathered a game-high 15 rebounds and registered six points, two blocks, and two steals, and junior Lindsay Alexander led the winners in scoring with 10 points, while collecting four rebounds and four steals.
The visiting Mavericks had four players score in double digits as opposed to just one for CHC, but a total of 11 different Griffins found the basket over the course of the afternoon.
Inside scores by Washington and Alexander gave the Griffins a 4-0 start, but the Mavericks soon got into their gait and kept pace with their hosts. CHC freshman Lila Jones made all of her first five free throws, and six minutes in, the hosts had a 12-11 edge. Midway through the period, though, six points from Jasmine Williams and four from fellow forward Talia Beaulieu had helped the visitors acquire the largest lead of the half at 21-16.
Tenisha Townsend-Mobley, a freshman guard, came off the Chestnut Hill bench to render assistance, sinking two free throws and bagging a three-pointer from the left wing to help rally the home team.
With the count locked up at 26 all and 5:34 remaining in the half, Griffin fans saw an unfamiliar figure enter the game wearing a CHC uniform. Freshman guard Olivia Gorzynski, who just became eligible to play, scored all of her seven points for the night at the tail end of the opening period.
She hit two free throws, a three-pointer, and a transition lay-up off of a pass from classmate Randi Jo Farrell. Senior forward Ashlen Stayrook added a point from the foul line, and the Griffins led 34-31 at the break.
Chestnut Hill had the lead much of the time in the second half, but couldn't break the game open. The Griffins were ahead by five, 51-46, with 8:15 left to play, but then came away empty when they had an opportunity to tack on three straight points from the foul line. Instead, Mercy came back to tie the game at 52-all.
Just after that, the Mavericks committed their tenth team foul to put the Griffins in the double bonus. A little earlier, Mercy had seen starting guard Simone Williams go to the bench with her fifth personal foul.
Chestnut Hill went up by five points once more, 60-55, but Mercy scored a lay-up with 72 seconds remaining and then forced the Griffins to turn the ball over. Fortunately for the locals, the Mavericks missed several consecutive shots, and then had to foul CHC senior Aiesha Smith.
After Smith made both free throws for a 62-57 tally, Mercy bobbled the ball out over the sideline just beyond midcourt. When Griffins junior Marqesah Spicer (eight points total) was fouled she made the second of her two tosses for a six-point lead, but Beaulieu bagged a jumper from near the foul line with 21 seconds to go.
The Mavericks stole the ball back, then missed their final shot of the game, with Alexander snapping up the rebound for the victorious Griffins.

How forgotten is MacKinlay Kantor's "Diversey"? Well, when I looked it up on the Chicago Public Library website, I found only one copy available systemwide, in the closed stacks of the downtown branch — meaning that any reader interested in taking a copy to enjoy at home would be out of luck. A few worn '50s copies with racy pulp covers are available on Amazon, but not much else is mentioned of the novel anywhere else on the Internet. Fifth Star Press' handsome new reissue should remedy that neglect.
This piece first ran in Printers Row Journal, delivered to Printers Row members with the Sunday Chicago Tribune and by digital edition via email. Click here to learn about joining Printers Row.
Much like the book's hero, Marry Javlyn, Kantor was born in Iowa and came to Chicago to seek fame and fortune as a writer. He was only 24 when the book, his first, was published. The plot involves a Jewish gangster on the lam, a young switchboard operator from the South Side, a prominent newspaper columnist and various lesser characters and types. There's a big love affair, murders, betrayal and poetry. I imagine Kantor threw just about everything he'd learned of the world up to that point into it, but what struck me first and foremost were his descriptions of Chicago. This isn't a mythical or imagined city but one recounted from firsthand experience, from having walked the streets he wrote about.
The story's center is a rooming house on Cambridge Ave., just off Diversey Parkway, in the Lincoln Park neighborhood. Marry (short for Marshall) arrives in the city and takes a room there. The plot's set in motion when he finds a wallet in the common bathroom on his floor. It belongs to Abe Wise, a tough guy with a gun tucked into his belt. Another tenant, a girl named Jo, is in Wise's room when Marry returns the wallet. In no time Jo and Marry are in love, and Wise is slipping Marry $50 bills to run errands.
The Messenger is Kantor's stand-in for Chicago's newspaper of record. After striking out at the half-dozen smaller papers, Marry turns to the imposing tower on Michigan Avenue in hopes of finding a job. His career high point up to this moment was sending in a poem and having it published in Rom Pentecost's famed column in The Messenger. Pentecost can't offer a job but invites him to the weekly Tuesday soirees at the downtown hotel where he lives. Much debauchery follows, and Marry is tempted into a world of mysterious blondes, drunken artists and pretense of all kinds.
Unable to find a newspaper job, he takes advantage of Wise's offer of help and gets a do-nothing, overpaid position with the city. This is one of the novel's best parts. The mechanics of obtaining a patronage job as he describes it are funny, horrifying, and — especially for contemporary Chicago citizens — all too familiar.
Hanging over all the proceedings is the long shadow of Prohibition. Much of the violence in the book is committed by warring factions of bootleggers. We continue to live with this kind of violence in Chicago, though these days it's over cocaine and the like rather than Canadian Club whiskey. That makes what happens in this book resonate now.
The book's flaws are those of a young writer overreaching. But overall "Diversey" is a worthwhile link between Theodore Dreiser and Nelson Algren in painting a portrait of Chicago in prose. Kantor would go on to write the screenplay for the noir "Gun Crazy" in 1950 and win a Pulitzer for his Civil War novel "Andersonville" in 1956, but this first book gave him a chance to try out hard-boiled banter, ripe melodrama, and cynical social commentary all in one go.
His '20s Chicago has graft, murder and people rushing all over the place just like our Chicago does. Most of all it's a story of a young man coming to the big city and trying to make something of himself, and that's a story that's never out of date.
Dmitry Samarov is a painter and writer in Chicago. His book, "Hack: Stories from a Chicago Cab" was published by University of Chicago Press in 2011.

Many gravestones from the 19th century feature carvings of hands: clasped hands, hands pointing up or down, hands holding flowers or books.
A hand with a finger pointing up is a reference to Heaven. But don't jump to conclusions: A hand with a finger pointing down is not a reference to a less desirable destination, but rather a reference to the hand of God reaching down from Heaven.
In any case, the pointing hands convey the belief that the soul of the deceased now rests in Heaven.

Tips To Avoid Food Poisoning While Traveling In Nepal
This, sadly, is not the slightest bit going to ensure that you don't become ill in the event that you take after my proposals well ordered, yet it might prevent you from getting an awful instance of Dysentery or even a mellow yet humiliating instance of Diarrhea. I myself have been gotten out in Nepal a couple times before taking after the means underneath, and it wasn't neighborhood nourishment that got me the first and the most exceedingly terrible time, it was my obsession for chocolate croissants that had me in bed for two days, and sick for the next week or thereabouts. Light cases have come at me when eating dried Buffalo meat, salted and hung in the open entryways, and sadly, it's similarly as simple to build up a steamed tummy just from devouring off plates that have been washed in untreated water. Here are a couple tips to make the feared bug somewhat less intense and unquestionably helps me out when voyaging.
Water Worries: It's extremely straightforward, simply don't drink the stuff out of the tap at all in the event that you have a frail stomach or you're quite recently stressed. Utilize treated or bubbled water to brush your teeth, and do whatever it takes not to get a lot in your mouth when scrubbing down. It might sound over intemperate yet the best safeguard is over doing it.
Trekker's Miracle: When asking many prepared trekkers how they remain sound while trekking through the Himalaya and feasting at nearby teahouses and so on. They frequently say that having a jug of coke with all suppers is a decent approach to execute off any microorganisms that might slip past the radar and into your stomach.
Hand Sanitisers: Fabulous development, the hand sanitiser that does not require water, is an awesome approach to ensure those germs you have grabbed, from maybe praising an adorable puppy making a course for touching untreated water. Keep in mind in Nepal most canines will convey some type of parasite or another. As a rule nourishment harming occurs from basically eating with filthy hands.
Ice and Cold Food: Although nowadays most traveler eateries will utilize treated water for their ice, it's presumably better to simply keep away from ice all together, even in your mixed refreshment. On the off chance that you need to drink, then drink packaged lager, or coke and your soul of decision, no ice. Icy nourishment in the city is practically a major no, if it's not sizzling or cooking on the spot then don't place it in your mouth! Additionally ensure your serving of mixed greens has been washed in treated water in case will eat it.
Peel 'capable Fruit: Another astute decision for untreated water washed natural product, in the event that you can peel it, then you can be all the more beyond any doubt you are peeling the conceivable microscopic organisms off, things like bananas, winged serpent organic product, oranges and lychees, attempt to maintain a strategic distance from apples unless you wash them yourself with treated water or peel the skin.
Treatment when it's past the point of no return: Most individuals bring something like Imodium with them. In established truth, this can obstruct microscopic organisms alongside your humiliating issue and procrastinate longer. Go and see your specialist and approach what's best for you, most Doctors will give you a real anti-toxin that will get in and take care of the issue not trap it. Be that as it may, recall your Doctor is the best individual to choose what's best for you and the above data in simply a manual for conceivable shirking to these undesirable travel nasties. Likewise, drink a great deal of treated water and boiling hot water, keep hydrated and wash it out in the meantime.

Arroyo at last as advertised, but D-backs can't hold on
PHOENIX -- Bronson Arroyo did his job at Chase Field on Saturday night, but his best effort since he signed with the team was wasted along with a five-run lead in a 6-5 loss to the Phillies.
The veteran right-hander pledged that the D-backs and their fans were going to see the real Arroyo and they did as he easily outdueled Philadelphia ace left-hander Cliff Lee by pitching 6 1/3 innings of two-run, seven-hit ball.View Full Game Coverage
PHOENIX -- Bronson Arroyo did his job at Chase Field on Saturday night, but his best effort since he signed with the team was wasted along with a five-run lead in a 6-5 loss to the Phillies.
The veteran right-hander pledged that the D-backs and their fans were going to see the real Arroyo and they did as he easily outdueled Philadelphia ace left-hander Cliff Lee by pitching 6 1/3 innings of two-run, seven-hit ball.View Full Game Coverage
But all his work was undone in a four-run Phillies eighth that began when D-backs third baseman Martin Prado dropped a simple pop fly off the bat of Ryan Howard in short left-field for an error that started the deluge.
"I was playing in," said Prado, who was the only player on the left side of the infield as the D-backs shifted to the right against the left-handed swinging Howard. "I took my eyes off the ball and it was hard to recover from that. I thought the wind was a little factor in there, but I'm not making any excuses. I should have caught it."
To add insult to injury, the last chance for the D-backs to come back dissolved in the ninth inning when Prado over-slid second base trying to advance on a short passed ball. Prado had singled off Jonathan Papelbon to open the inning. Umpire Chris Conroy called him safe as catcher Carlos Ruiz's strong throw seemed to be a split-second late. But Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg challenged and the call was overturned via instant replay review.
Prado went past the base and second baseman Chase Utley applied the tag a split second before Prado returned to it. Prado said he had a good look at the instant replay.
"Yeah, I did. I slid too close to the base," he said. "My foot just off the base a little bit. He tagged me at that time. This is not the time to make excuses right now. This is a lack of a lot of things. I'm trying not to feel bad about myself. Things happen. It's just unfortunate we lost the game. We lost a real good game. Even when I missed the fly ball, everything started. They took advantage of that. It's just a shame."
It's not as if the D-backs bullpen picked him up. Manager Kirk Gibson said the usual culprits -- Brad Ziegler, Addison Reed and Randall Delgado -- were unavailable. Thus, he went to Trevor Cahill, a dethroned starter, to replace Joe Thatcher in the crucial inning after Prado's error. He wasn't up to the task.
"I felt good. The confidence was there, but I just couldn't execute," Cahill said.
The Phillies sent 10 men to the plate as Cahill began by walking Marlon Byrd. Four hits later, the Phillies had the lead and the 5-0 bulge Arroyo took into the seventh inning had been squandered.
"It was tough one," Arroyo said. "It's why you talk about things like that [dropped popup] being so important. Especially against a good lineup like theirs you open up a can of worms. You can't put the lid back on sometimes. It's definitely deflating."
The early portion of the game provided a startling turnaround for both starters. Lee had allowed only four earned runs since his first start of the season on March 31 and was coming off eight-innings of four-hit, shutout ball in a win over the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium on Monday night.
Arroyo, the former member of the Reds and Red Sox, signed a two-year, $23.5 million free agent contract with the D-backs just after camp opened and promptly hurt his back, missing most of Spring Training. He hurriedly returned to open the season and thus had a very un-Arroyo-like 9.50 ERA and 1-2 record to show for his first four starts. He was blasted for 14 runs and 18 hits in his last two starts against the Mets and Cubs, both losses.
This time, Lee was ordinary. He came into the game with 38 strikeouts and only two walks to his credit this season, but he issued two free passes on Saturday -- both in the third inning -- and whiffed a pair before he was lifted for pinch-hitter Tony Gwynn Jr. in the seventh inning. He allowed five runs (three earned) on eight hits.
Cody Ross, back in action after two games out of the starting lineup, did a lot of the damage against Lee, driving in three runs with a pair of singles. Ross went into the game in a 1-for-22 stretch since coming off the disabled list on April 18 after recovering from last season's serious hip injury and surgery.
Arroyo left to a rousing ovation from a crowd of 35,462 with one out in the seventh after Gwynn plated Ruiz with a pinch-hit double. Arroyo walked one, whiffed two and threw 97 pitches. As far as the fans were concerned, that was more like the performance anticipated from this year's big free-agent signing.
But it all unraveled in the eighth after Prado dropped Howard's popup and that was it for the D-backs as their modest three-game winning streak came to an end. Their overall record dropped to 8-19 and 2-12 at home.
"We should have had enough pitching to get through that game," Gibson said. "We scored five runs, we made three errors, we made it tough on ourselves. We just didn't play well. It's a game we should have won. I think we'd all agree about that."
