I do have a feeling we will have to constantly remind people these prices do include shipping. When I started reading the post I was hoping you did that to account for the 'free shipping' auctions.

Very good work bud!!!
Thanks a lot!!!
Stratos75 Feedback Thread
I've had one bad deal on this board, contact me for details.
Great work - thanks for all the work! Very interesting!
No surprise to see Pre-Man valued way lower than Shadow Weaver, Wun-Dar and King He-Man. Terrible idea for a sub exclusive. Glad I sold mine for cost to someone that wanted him because I sure didn't.
Ok, I posted this guide on Matty's forums too...Thanks for the suggestion!
While it would take a lot of work to keep the entire guide up-to-date, one idea I just thought about is only keeping tabs on fan-requested favorites. Perhaps something like a list of Top Ten "Essentials" or a feature on a "Weekly Favorite". I mean, do you guys really want to keep track of Mighty Spector, Cy-Chop, and Mo-Larr?
Let me know what you think!
Shadow Weaver
King He-Man
Kobra Khan
Ram Man
Fang Man
TRU BA Faker
These are the items I think most people are interested in.
I also think you should make a notation on recent trends. I mentioned this in the ebay pricing topic. Something like there has been a noticeable increase or decrease with an up or down or arrow of some kind. Simple fact is the prices on some of these are high right now, but in six months could start going down again.

Ok, here's a look at the Top Ten Fan Favorites this week! This updated info only contains data from auctions purchased in March, to reflect the most current trends. The (+) or (-) signifies if the price went up or down since the last update:
Fang Man............$77.85 (+)
Fisto...................$146.63 (+)
King He-Man........$108.94 (+)
Kobra Khan.........$66.41 (+)
Ram Man.............$77.70 (+)
Scareglow............$82.08 (-)
Shadow Weaver....$175.85 (-)
Sorceress.............$149.10 (+)
Teela....................$138.30 (-)
Wun-Dar..............$148.78 (+)
As a bonus, here's my analysis on two figures that showed the biggest changes in the last week...
(Photo credits go to mwctoys.com: Michael's Review of the Week...I'll try to take my own pics next time but they won't look as nice as his, heheh!)
Biggest Gainer: Beast Man $115.79 (+28%)
It looks like Skeletor's main henchman suddenly went up in demand, going up a whopping $32 over the past month or so! I think this updated amount is the most accurate one, though, since my original average took into account auctions in January and February. This new sample is more in tune with today's going rates.
Biggest Loser: Whiplash $39.99 (-27%)
Whoa, what happened to Whiplash? Well, it looks like someone got lucky and picked up a great deal this week since this was the only Whiplash that sold in March so far. Don't celebrate quite yet, though...A couple of Whiplash's that are currently listed are already going past the $100 mark, so expect his price to skyrocket next week!
Brillent love the idea of the weekly update!
great idea, love the weekly update, keep it up micro-man!!
Ok, time to look at this week's numbers!
Fang Man.............$74.05 (-)
Fisto....................$144.92 (+)
Kobra Khan..........$64.56 (-)
Ram Man..............$76.09 (-)
Roboto.................$86.40 (+)
Scareglow.............$82.08 (-)
Shadow Weaver....$177.85 (+)
Sorceress.............$143.82 (-)
Teela....................$142.60 (+)
Wun-Dar..............$140.44 (-)
Again, here's my analysis on the two biggest movers this last week...
(King He-Man photo credit goes to toyark.com...I haven't received shipping confirmation for my March figures yet!)
Biggest Gainer: Whiplash $109.35 (+173%)
Well, Whiplash is back up to triple digits again! Sadly, it looks like last week's $40 sale was a fluke (And a lucky break for someone!) and prices are back to inflated amounts. At a 173% gain, his price fluctuations are more violent than his tail thrashings this week!
Biggest Loser: King He-Man $101.35 (-7%)
Have the mighty fallen? Well, it looks like a lot of prices fell a little this week and King He-Man turned out to be the biggest drop at 7%. However, with all the King He-Man's that will be shipping out right now, it will be interesting to see how the new King of Eternia will fare in the coming weeks!
Very helpful update!
I hope Whiplash prices calm down a bit. I think he'd round out my small collection nicely.
cheers again man ! love these updates
Yeah Micro I applaud this effort. Amazing work. I know from working on the Master Character List that going through all of this stuff is hard work. Cheers my friend!
Thanks guys, I'm glad you like the updates! Keeping track of the top ten figures isn't so bad but I may mix it up from time to time, especially if there are other figures that collectors are more interested in. I'm interested to see how the Filmation figures perform later this year!
I wish we could see the Best Offer amounts that sellers take, it would be nice to know what compromises are being made too!
Thanks again for all the feedback, guys, I appreciate it!
What you're doing is awesome. Keep it up.
Btw what's up with roboto? Around Christmas I was passing on $30-34. Of course he's now one of the last figures (shadow weaver the other) I need to "complete"!! Last few auctions were in $65 range that's crazy. I'm just hoping prices are inflated now because of tax refunds.
Wow. Lots of time invested there. Major props.
Back, even if it's just for a short while.
Ok, another week...Time for an updated look at our Eternian stock numbers, heheh!
Fang Man.............$76.14 (+)
Fisto....................$146.53 (+)
King He-Man.........$98.98 (-)
Ram Man..............$75.22 (-)
Scareglow.............$84.60 (+)
Shadow Weaver....$184.22 (+)
Sorceress.............$139.99 (-)
Teela....................$141.71 (-)
Whiplash..............$109.31 (-)
Wun-Dar..............$134.57 (-)
Now, let's look at what happened this week, starting with a brand new figure...
(Argh, I forgot to take new pics! So photo credits go to toyhypeusa.com and mwctoys.com...I still can't believe I missed out on this next figure by seconds!)
Biggest Gainer: Strobo $111.06
Well, Strobo is the newcomer to this list and he started with a bang! The insanely quick 60 Second sell-out, combined with concerns that future convention releases will also experience similar sell outs, has made his stock skyrocket in his debut week. He's already in triple digits! I predict his prices will get to Shadow Weaver proportions before Grayskullcon and Power Con provides collectors some much needed re-inforcements. I really want Strobo, so hopefully I'll be able to get one at Power Con!
Biggest Loser: Roboto $74.86 (-13%)
There were some significant dips in prices this last week but Roboto took the biggest dive, dropping over $10. It seems like it was a few weeks ago that a whole endcap of Roboto's was spotted at a Walmart, so maybe the new batch is circulating and causing prices to go down. Perhaps it's just those reversed shoulders and cracks in his chest, too.
Hey, another week flew by...Let's see what happened on eBay!
Beast Man............$112.84 (-)
King He-Man.........$100.37 (+)
Ram Man..............$75.38 (+)
Scareglow.............$84.93 (+)
Shadow Weaver....$186.93 (+)
Sorceress.............$135.60 (-)
Strobo.................$106.49 (-)
Teela....................$139.07 (-)
Whiplash..............$109.31 (-)
Wun-Dar..............$131.78 (-)
Who were the major movers this time?
Biggest Gainer: Fisto $153.82 (+5%)
Actually, Fisto has been steadily moving up this month! He's surpassed both Teela and Sorceress' prices lately, making him the main bread winner in this power family. It's not too surprising to see Fisto move up to the top of the MOTUC food chain, though...He's easily amongst the best figures of 2012 and it doesn't help that his distribution was one of the more controversial events of that year. Just where did those missing Fisto's go?
Biggest Loser: Fang Man $71.95 (-6%)
Again, a lot of prices dropped this week and this Filmation newcomer took the biggest dip. As an unofficial Club Exclusive, Fang Man was automatically going for higher prices but he's still selling in smaller numbers than King He-Man and Ram Man. Perhaps the cool Filmation accessories are making him a keeper or all the Buy-it-Now prices are simply too high right now.

Tommy Talks Guitars, Influences and the Making of Monster
From Gibson.com
Following a full decade without a studio album, KISS made a spectacular return to form three years ago with Sonic Boom, a no-frills album that recalled the band's mid to late '70s glory years. Incredibly, the group's forthcoming new album, Monster, is an even greater triumph. Packed with explosive energy and the sort of guitar riffs other bands dream about, Monster seems destined for a prime spot among other KISS classics.
Even more so than on Sonic Boom, guitarist Tommy Thayer played an integral role on Monster, writing or co-writing ten songs and, alongside Paul Stanley, delivering half the band's two-guitar punch. Clearly, he's established himself as an indispensable cog in the current KISS lineup of Stanley, Gene Simmons, Eric Singer and himself. In the following interview, Thayer talks about the new album, his main guitar influences and why Gibsons are his choice guitars both on-stage and in the studio.
How did the band approach making the new album?
Generally, it was the same approach as Sonic Boom. We didn't have an agenda. We just wanted to write great rock and roll songs and make a cohesive album. With Sonic Boom, it was more like testing the waters, seeing how things would go with this lineup and with the band as it is today. We came up with a great record, obviously, and we found that we could be effective and lethal in the studio. Monster takes those things to a new level, and ups the ante in terms of the songs and the production. It was similar, but it was new and improved as well.
Why was the band reluctant to make an album for all those years prior to Sonic Boom?
That's probably more a question for Paul or Gene. It was before I was on-board. But my impression is that they didn't feel comfortable trying to record a studio album because of the state of the band at that time. They didn't feel it was healthy -- or that the band could produce, write and record a great rock and roll record. That said, the band has fused incredibly well in the last eight or ten years. There's such great spirit and chemistry now, it suddenly became obvious – prior to making Sonic Boom — that this band should make a studio album.
What guitars did you use on Monster?
Primarily I used a Gibson SG – a 1961 reissue that belongs to Paul. It's the same guitar I used on a lot of Sonic Boom. Normally I play a Les Paul, but for recording work I've found that the SG has a little more punch, and isn't quite as full-bodied. Sonically, the SG fit well into the tracks. I did use the Les Paul on a few things as well. It was pretty much straight head: plug the SG into a couple of good amps, and keep it raw and ballsy.
What Les Paul models do you play?
They're Custom Shop reissues of the '58, '59 and 1960 Les Paul Standards. I use those guitars on-stage as well. I also have one that's customized – the Rocket Guitar, which has a rocket launcher mounted on the back of the headstock. I also have a couple of Explorers I take on the road. They have a silver-sparkle finish, the same finish that my new Epiphone Tommy Thayer Signature Les Paul will have. The signature model is similar to the Les Paul I often use on solos, which is a Les Paul Standard with a silver sparkle top. Epiphone will be releasing officially announcing that guitar in the next couple of months and it should be available in stores in early 2013."
Who are your main guitar influences?
My favorite bands when I was learning to play were Foghat, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, KISS, Aerosmith, Montrose – those types of bands. Probably my favorite guitar players were Ronnie Montrose and Jimmy Page and Peter Frampton. I'm still a big fan of Frampton. I also loved Pat Travers, Robin Trower … second generation mid '70s players. Mainly I learned by mimicking records, putting albums on the turntable and trying to figure out the chords and riffs. I probably didn't learn them quite right, in the beginning. When you're a kid, you're kind of at a loss for how some of these things are done. Eventually I started learning some solos – again, by listening and studying what was on those albums.
Which era was the greatest for guitar riffs?
The early to mid '70s was a great time for guitar riffs. But at the same time, when you're 13 or 14 years old, that's a magical period in your life, when you're first getting into playing guitar and first going to concerts and so forth. The riffs you're listening to at that age tend to stay with you. A great rock album that still holds up today is the first Montrose album. "Rock Candy," "Rock the Nation," "Bad Motor Scooter," "Space Station #5" … those are great rock and roll songs with incredible riffs. A great guitar riff is worth its weight in gold. Being able to come up with great riffs – and write that kind of stuff – isn't as easy as people think.
What makes Gibsons so right for what you do?
A lot of it has to do with the guitarists I grew up loving. Most of them played Les Pauls or other Gibsons. The guys in Aerosmith, Ronnie Montrose, Peter Frampton and the guys in KISS all played Les Pauls. When you're growing up, and you're first excited about rock and roll and guitar players, you want to mimic that as soon as you can. Those players weren't using those guitars by chance. When it's combined with the right amp, you just can't beat the sound and the beefiness of a Gibson.
(Check out Tommy's impressive Gibson arsenal here)
Is being a guitarist in KISS different from being a guitarist in other rock bands?
It's a whole other world. I could never imagine being in a regular band again. That would be a huge step backwards. Being in KISS is the ultimate in rock and roll performance and theatrics. I was thinking about that the other night. We were on-stage doing "Rock and Roll All Nite" toward the end of our set. Gene and I were going up on lifts – about 30 feet into the air – and confetti was flying and bombs were going off. All of a sudden a big smile came over my face. I was thinking, "How lucky can I be, being in this band, on-stage right now, experiencing this?" It doesn't get any better.

And the winner is…actually we won't know who the winners of the next round will be until the Miss Virginia Pageant is held in Roanoke. Those coveted crowns will be handed out on June 30 at the Civic Center. But watching the contestants from the Miss Greater Springfield Scholarship Organization go through their paces during the pageant workshop on Saturday, March 30, it's a safe bet that these young ladies will make for some serious competition.
In attendance at Greenspring Village Auditorium and ready to practice, were Blaire Borum, the reigning Miss Greater Springfield, Miss Outstanding Teen Alyssa Howell, and Miss Pre-Teen, Elizabeth Krantz. They were advised and encouraged by a host of volunteers, including the Miss Greater Springfield Program's Executive Director, Jerry Burks, and fellow Board members, Dale Bradshaw, Executive Director of the Teen and Pre-Teen events, and Richard Kibler, the program's Production Manager. Also on hand to assist were a panel of seven volunteer judges, there to conduct mock interviews with questions ranging from opinions on current affairs, to why each contestant would be the ideal Miss Virginia in her category.
Borum, Howell and Krantz are all pageant veterans, with numerous crowns and trophies in their respective collections, but all three agreed that such workshops, and the opportunity to rehearse and receive constructive feedback were essential to continuing success in their pageant careers.
Blaire Borum and her mother, Tammy Peebles-Forrest, were quick to point out that pageants like Miss Greater Springfield, an affiliate of the Miss Virginia and the Miss America organizations, are all about developing and showcasing the natural talents of each contestant. Borum started on the pageant path at age 8. Her mother was not in favor at the time, but eventually gave in when Blaire recruited her father's persuasive skills. "I remember those first pageants," Borum recalls. "The judges checked us over to make sure we didn't have any 'extras' like hair extensions. And no crazy costumes. One of my costumes was hand-decorated by my Dad. Glue and sequins everywhere," she laughed. "And no acting like you were 28, not 8 years old. They wanted you to do your best as you."
Miss Greater Springfield Outstanding Teen, Alyssa Howell, followed in her sister's footsteps when choosing to compete. Devin Howell was crowned Miss Omaha Nebraska 2010 among her awards. "My sister turned to pageants as one way to deal with bullying. I saw how it helped her, and what she was able to accomplish."
Elizabeth Krantz was introduced to the pageant circuit by her mother. "She didn't want me to be the shy girl," says the 2012 Miss Greater Springfield Pre-Teen. Watching her practice her vocal piece for the talent segment, confidently striding across the stage, it would appear that she has certainly achieved that goal.
When asked if they have any regrets, considering the time and energy required to succeed in this competitive world, their answers are instantaneous and unanimous. "I have met so many people, done so many things and made so many friends, especially among my 'sister' contestants," responded Howell. "No regrets at all. And you get to spend time and get help learning to improve on the things you love to do. It's amazing." "Of course, it's great to win," says Krantz, "but we are each other's loudest supporters at every event. The friendships will be life-long." Despite dozens of events, Borum hasn't lost her love for the pageant life. She too spoke of friendships, the fun of performing, and as an added benefit, "the time I get to spend with my Mom in the car. And don't forget," she adds, "these competitions provide scholarship money." Her winnings to date have no doubt helped. She was recently accepted into the Graduate Program for Speech Pathology at Longwood University in Farmville, Va.
ALL THREE ALSO AGREED that the chance to spread their individual messages to a wider audience was priceless. In addition to the talent, interviews, evening gown, and swimsuit segments, each contestant must discuss a platform that is of importance to her. Borum is the co-founder of the Central Virginia SIDS Bereavement Group. Having lost her young brother, Jordan, to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, she is dedicated to raising awareness and funds to research this devastating syndrome, helping families cope with an event that often has no closure. With her sights set on a future as an educator, Howell, who teaches piano to youngsters, also works for Journey 4 A Cure, a foundation established to raise funds for pediatric cancer research. She spends whatever time she can involved in Journey's activities, and organizes visits to hospitalized children. "I just want them to have something to smile about while they battle this disease," she says.
Krantz is motivated by her brother, Xavier, diagnosed with autism at age 2. Her platform is to help families coping with autism. Not only can Krantz sing, but she plays piano and violin, and paints. Her goal is to exhibit and sell some of her works through her Art For Autism to raise money to further research and awareness, and to provide for some of the practical needs of families affected by autism.
The Miss Greater Springfield Scholarship Program, like most of the other 30 affiliate programs, is designated as an "Open" pageant, meaning that contestants do not need to reside in the area. Borum comes from Blackstone, Va., made a four-plus hour trip to attend the workshop, and frequently travels back for appearances and community service events. Howell lives in Leesburg and is a junior at Stone Bridge High School in Ashburn. Krantz is the closest contestant, living in Alexandria, and is a seventh grader at Immanuel Christian School in Springfield.
"That is one of our main goals," says Executive Director Burks. "We want to spread the word right here in Springfield, to reach and assist and mentor the amazing young women of our own community. Help them develop their talents, become driving forces in the community, make connections and friendships that will serve them well throughout their lives."
SINCE ITS INCEPTION in 2004, the Miss Greater Springfield Scholarship Program has awarded $14,800 in scholarships and prizes to their contestants. Caitlin Uze, the 2008 Top Winner went on to be crowned Miss Virginia in 2010. She enjoys helping her younger "sisters" and volunteered as an interviewer at the workshop. Caressa Cameron, Miss Greater Springfield 2006, won the top Virginia award in 2009, ultimately reaching the pageant pinnacle of Miss America 2010. Top ten finalists and top five award winners from both those events all earn scholarship money.

To watch these inspiring young women as they take on the next challenge, tune in to The Miss Virginia Pageant, scheduled to be televised live on News Channel 8.

Viewing Guide for To Educate a Girl documentary film
To Educate a Girl, a documentary film supported by the United Nations Girls Education Initiative (UNGEI) and the United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF), introduces a pressing global issue: the struggles girls around the world face daily to get an education. To Educate a Girl looks at just a few children and youth in two countries, Uganda and Nepal, but the issue is present worldwide.
To facilitate the use of the film by the educators in the United States and globally, UNGEI partnered with the United States Fund for UNICEF to develop a viewing guide.
This standards-based Viewing Guide helps educators facilitate thought-provoking and meaningful dialogue and provides activities for students to learn about the disparity in education for boys and girls and take action to eliminate these disparities.
The resource guide, which now forms part of TeachUNICEF portfolio, helps educators facilitate thought-provoking and meaningful dialogue and provides activities for students to learn about the disparity in education for boys and girls and take action to eliminate these disparities. Two versions of the guide are available and are aimed at children aged between 6 and 8 and 9 and 12. TeachUNICEF is a portfolio of global education teacher resources designed and collected by the U.S. Fund for UNICEFs Education Department for teachers, afterschool instructors, and parents. TeachUNICEF resources cover grades PK-12, are interdisciplinary (social studies, science, math, English/language arts, foreign/world languages), and align with national standards. The units, lesson plans, stories, videos and multimedia cover topics ranging from the Millennium Development Goals to water and sanitation. All TeachUNICEF resources can be downloaded for free.
The Viewing Guide features background information related to girls education and gender equality and education, which educators can incorporate in their lessons plans and other activities. lso equips educators with a range of discussion questions, and a variety of interdisciplinary activities to help guide discussion and learning.
These rich materials encourage the exploration of critical global issues that impact children worldwide, and offer interested children and young people an opportunity to take action by utilizing service tips and participating in U.S. Fund for UNICEF sponsored activities.
About UNGEI

Heating, cooling, and ventilation systems consume a lot of energy. Replacing a less efficient system with a more efficient model will yield energy and cost savings during the course of its use.
When purchasing a new HVAC system, consider purchasing the most efficient model that suits your needs. Visit the US EPA's Energy Star products database for a list of the most efficient HVAC systems. In addition, consult the Energy Star Building Manual for Heating and Cooling to learn more about HVAC efficiency upgrades. For those products that are not rated by Energy Star, consult the Federal Energy Management Program.
For a list of available incentives and rebates in your state, visit the State Database of Renewables and Efficiency and the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy's Tax Incentives Assistance Project.
Calculate savings from energy efficient products
Energy Efficiency Saves Money
Replacing inefficient HVAC equipment with newer, more efficient, and better-designed equipment will yield operating cost reductions during the lifetime of a new or renovated facility. According to the EPA, replacing components of an older HVAC typically yield annual savings of around 20% below current energy costs.
Product Specifications
When replacing HVAC equipment, keep the following in mind:
- Consider using the EPA's Energy Star program
- If Energy Star does not rate the particular appliance, purchase the most efficient model feasible
- Look for other energy saving features such as programmability and power-saving functions
- Many products continue to use energy, even when they're turned off. Look for products that use as little energy as possible while in "off" mode.
Benefits of Replacing HVAC Systems
Most energy consumed in the United States comes from coal, which contributes to smog, acid rain, and numerous negative heath impacts and while also adding significantly to human-derived global warming.
Investing in better HVAC systems also ensures a healthier environment for employees, fans, and players. Improved filtration technology decreases the amount of particulates and bio contaminants (fungus, mold, viruses) in the workspace. Newer HVAC systems are also more adept at filtering and sealing out nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, and other air pollutants that can harm staff and visitors to your facility.

How To Make A Hinged Tabletop From Hollow Core Doors
Our last apartment didn't allow for a dining room or kitchen table. When we moved into our new place, all we had was a small craft table. With dinner parties, bridal showers and more on the horizon, we needed a larger table solution, and fast! Here's what we came up with. (And the best part is it's removable and stores easily!)
What You Need
2 Hollow Core Doors
1 Piano Hinge
6 Wood Screws or Wood Glue
2 - 1x2's
Table Base/Small Table/Pair of Saw Horses
Drill or Screwdriver
1. Lay Doors On Open Floor: This step can also be done by placing the doors on your table top, but it might require additional help to hold them steady. Lay the doors on the floor and match up the two ends, ensuring they are the same length. You can do this with them standing on end, but this will also ensure they're the same thickness as well.
2. Attach Hinge: Lay the two doors on top of each other, so all the ends are flush. You'll be attaching the piano hinge along one long side of the two doors. Attach the first screw at the end of the hinge, and then work your way down the line. The hinge should come with small screws in the package with it, along with 2 extras in case you drop them (which is exactly how many we lost in the process).
3. Lay Hinged Doors On Table Top: Center your doors over your existing tabletop. Leave enough room on all sides for people to sit around, making sure it won't tip over one way or another. The doors are sturdy, but they do need to be centered over the base for safety reasons.
4. Draw A Line: Sit or lay on the floor under the table. Draw a line along the length of each door where they meet the existing table top. (Note: Not across the piano hinge, but running in the same direction)
5. Remove & Attach: Flip the doors over and to the outside of the line you drew, nail or glue down a length of 1x2. The goal is to have it run along the edge of the table, keeping the top from shifting as people sit at it. It prevents it from sliding back and forth if someone bumps it.
6. Replace Top: Put your new tabletop made from doors back on the table base. Ensure that your last step is a good fit.
7. Tablecloth or Paper: Although you can most certainly use a tablecloth to dress your table, we've found that brown or white butchers paper/craft paper/painters covering works wonders. It rolls out, stays for weeks and doesn't snag on the hinge.
8. Remove When Done: When your party or big event is over, simply fold up one door on top of another. You can now store them under your bed, at the back of a closet or in the garage if you have one.

Using New Lights & Smart Ideas to Spruce Up Your Desk
Although you can spend thousands of dollars renovating a home office, you can easily do it for a lot cheaper if you use a few smart ideas. This neat-looking office was remade using some great ideas that anyone can use to spruce up their workstation.
This home office reno comes from Djreson from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He started by tidying up his cable mess using a DIY system that was composed of a coat rack. He threaded some rods with cap nuts at both ends then drilled through the desk to run support the rod. If you're thinking about doing something like this, you should be aware that the IKEA Signum cable management system is cheaper to set up.
The rope LED lights were added for ambient light. They are controlled via a wireless switch. He then used some wire closet shelves, which he got from Target, to hold his router and other peripherals beneath his desk. They were hung using some cable fasteners. The best tip he has is to loop the cables through the squares to keep the cords in place. The benefit of these shelves is that they allow for adequate ventilation for computer peripherals, like routers, modems, and scanners.
By using this DIY cable management system, the mess of cables that is usually found on the floor has disappeared, making for a much cleaner and nicer home office. Additional tips include using an IKEA Dioder LED kit to add some more diffuse lighting, as well as some extra shelving, which could be hacked from a number of shelves.

More Track Records Fall For Little Giantsby Brent Harris • May 15, 2010 Share:
Three more school records fell this week as members of the Wabash track and field team put in final efforts to qualify for the upcoming NCAA Division III National Meet. Wes Chamblee set a new mark in the 400-meter hurdles, while the 1600-meter relay team shattered the old Wabash mark. Sophomore Kevin McCarthy topped his own one-week-old record in the 1500-meters, as well.
Chamblee (right) won the 400-meter hurdles at the Dr. Keeler Track and Field Invitational held Thursday and Friday at North Central College. Chamblee cruised to victory with a time of 52.04, a full second ahead of the rest of the field. His time was also quicker than the old Wabash school record of 52.45 set by Garrett Tallman '87 in 1986.
Chamblee's time also hit the automatic qualifying mark for the NCAA Nationals, guaranteeing him a spot in the field.
Jake Zielinski, John Haley, Garett Bonk, and Chamblee combined to win the 1600-meter relay with a time of 3:15.07, posting their fastest time of the year by nearly one full second. The time also bettered the former Wabash record of 3:15.70 set during the 2006 outdoor season.
McCarthy set a new Wabash record in the 1500-meters last week at the Billy Hayes Invitational at IU with a time of 3:55.18. Friday at North Central he stormed to second place with time of 3:51.65, shattering the old mark while nearly hitting the automatic qualifying time of 3:50.60.
The national championship meet will take place May 27-29 at Tressel Field on the campus of Baldwin-Wallace College.

BALTIMORE — They were superb, resilient and wildly entertaining. But after more than two hours of March theater that careened from dramatic to agonizing and back again, William and Mary's basketball players and coaches were crushed.
The Colonial Athletic Association championship and the program's first NCAA tournament bid were in their clutches. My goodness, with a 6-point lead in the waning moments, the Tribe was strangling those precious commodities.
But they could not close. Delaware scored the game's final seven points Monday night to win the CAA tournament 75-74 at Baltimore Arena.
"This being the end for some of us makes it really emotional for a lot of people," senior forward Tim Rusthoven said. "I couldn't ask for a better team, I couldn't ask for better guys to do this with, and I think that makes it even harder.
"But I'm extremely proud of everyone in that locker room and what we did."
As well he should be. William and Mary (20-12) won 20 games for only the seventh time and reached the championship game of its conference tournament for only the eighth time.
Yet it could have been oh-so-much more. It could have been history for a school that defines historic. Indeed, national media already were lined up to tell the Tribe's story as it headed to the NCAA tournament.
After a stirring comeback from a 12-point, second-half deficit, William and Mary led 74-68 when freshman Omar Prewitt swished a 3-pointer from the left wing with 1:17 remaining. The Tribe did not score again as Prewitt missed a bonus free throw -- W&M was 3-for-11 for the game -- and All-CAA guard Marcus Thornton missed jumpers on the team's final two possessions, the latter as the clock expired.
Conversely, regular-season champ Delaware (25-9) was flawless in the clutch, and wide-body Carl Baptiste's layup with 12 seconds left provided the decisive points in its third conquest of the Tribe.
William and Mary's ensuing possession wasn't complex, but having Thornton (22 points on 8-of-15 shooting) create was the right call.
Baptiste punished the Tribe for 23 points and 9-of-11 shooting in just 28 minutes at Kaplan Arena in late January. He was just as good Monday with 24 points and the same 9-of-11 shooting.
The Blue Hens media guide lists him as 6-foot-9, 230 pounds, but as Comrade Fairbank tweeted from courtside, Baptiste hasn't seen 230 since his junior prom, and his interior brawn combined with perimeter players such as Jarvis Threatt and Devon Saddler were too much to overcome.
The Blue Hens "usually bury people" when they open a large lead, Tribe coach Tony Shaver said, "but we fought and fought and fought."
And did so spectacularly. Long past are the days of the Tribe trying to win with gimmicks and guile. These dudes are athletic, and they challenged Delaware, which Shaver called the most explosive offense he's seen in 11 seasons in the CAA.
Prewitt was the ringleader, thundering down the lane for a one-handed dunk over Davon Usher early in the second half. Prewitt later blocked a Kyle Anderson drive, and Kyle Gaillard rejected a Marvin King-Davis jam at the rim. Rusthoven blocked three shots to complement his 16 points in the low post.
The Baltimore Arena is well past its Beatles-in-'65 prime, but with 5,414 spirited fans, the old gal was rocking. Why, with William and Mary set to claim its first NCAA tournament bid, perhaps the moment was going to merit a photo on walls decorated with the likes of Pavarotti, Dylan and Earl the Pearl Monroe.
You had to think that after all these years this was the Tribe's time.
"It was hard not to," Rusthoven said.
William and Mary faithful have seen colleagues across the commonwealth not only reach the NCAA tournament but also advance. Virginia and Virginia Tech. James Madison and George Mason. Hampton and Norfolk State. VCU, VMI and Old Dominion.
Never the Tribe. Among Division I's original members 50-plus years ago, only William and Mary, Army, The Citadel, Northwestern and St. Francis (N.Y.) have not experienced the NCAA tournament.
The Tribe's frustration dates to a 1958 Southern Conference final loss to West Virginia and includes three CAA title-game setbacks in the last seven years.
"It's a great college basketball game we just played," Rusthoven said.
Memorable and quite painful, too.

The snow started just after dawn. As I write this after lunchtime, it's accumulated a couple of inches. Several co-workers offered me a lift home, but I declined. Predictably, my daughter called with the same offer. She worries too much.
Now, remember, a CycleDog is one sick puppy. I'm actually looking forward to riding in the snow. It's about 25F, so it should be nice and dry, with fair traction. I'm gonna have fun!
The ride home really was fun! The roads were mostly snow-covered, but the temperature was at that 'in between' stage, where the snow wasn't truly dry. yet wasn't wet and slushy either. It was almost like paste. Sure enough, it glued itself inside my fenders, adding LOTS of rolling resistance. I had a tail wind, but the going was still hard. I felt like I was riding uphill all the way home. A heart rate monitor would have been useful because I was breathing hard!
Now, if I were a real flahute rather than an imaginary one, I'd ride to work through the snow tomorrow morning. But I'm not a big fan of riding in the dark in bad weather. We all draw the line somewhere when it comes to perceived risk, and riding in the dark when it's raining or there's snow on the road is mine.

Kids plus germs often equals extreme yuckiness (think stomach flu). But there are some childhood afflictions that -- even though they're not at all dangerous -- are (how to put this?) truly disgusting. First, the good news: The four conditions described here have nothing to do with hygiene and are much more common than you think, so there's no need to be embarrassed. The bad news? Well, read on.
What They Are: Tiny white worms that infect the intestines. They're about half an inch long and threadlike in appearance.
Yuck Factor: Pretty intense. Pinworm eggs hatch in the small intestine, and the babies move to the large intestine. The adult female worms come out at night to lay their eggs on the outside of the anus. You may even see them (eww!) around your kid's rectum, in his underwear, or in his poop. Fun.
How They Spread: Anything touched by anyone with pinworms can spread their eggs. It usually works like this: Kid scratches bottom; eggs embed under the fingernails; kid touches something, leaves eggs behind (they live for two weeks!); eggs get picked up and eventually ingested. Best not to think about the particulars. The main point is, they're very contagious.
How You Know He's Got Them: Pinworms itch like crazy at night (that's the female worms laying their eggs). If your kid appears in his pajamas with an itchy rear end night after night (but seems fine in the morning), you may be dealing with the creepy crawlers. You can try to catch a glimpse of the worms, but in the interest of minimizing trauma, throw yourself on your doctor's mercy: Stick a piece of tape on your child's anus, then take it in to the doc's office (he'll examine it under a microscope). If the symptoms all line up, a prescription is in order.
What To Do: Your doctor will prescribe a single dose of an anti-parasitic and a second dose two weeks later. It's common to treat the whole family because the worms are so contagious. And get ready for lots of laundry (set the water temp to 130°F). Wash all bedding, stuffed animals, and towels -- and then keep on laundering bedding and towels every few days. Underwear and pj's should be cleaned daily for at least three weeks.
What They Are: Parasitic insects that take up residence on the scalp and hair. They attach their eggs to the base of individual hairs, and happily complete their life cycle (nit, nymph, adult) on the human head in one to three weeks.
Yuck Factor: High. Visible, bloodsucking insects living in a colony on your kid's head? Just thinking about it is enough to make you scratch your head like crazy. Add in the inherent stigma (these are, after all, the original cooties) associated with a lice infestation, and you're guaranteed a case of the heebie-jeebies.
How They Spread: These critters move from head to head, hat to head, pillow to head, comb to head...if it's been on someone's lice-ridden melon, it's a possible vector. Lice can live for a couple of days without human contact, so that baseball cap your kid scored from his new friend at camp could be the source of his buggy hair.
How You Know He's Got Them: All you've got to do is look. The adult lice are about the size of a pinhead -- you can see their little heads and legs if you're brave enough to examine closely. The nits are tiny, yellowish ovals that cling to individual hair shafts; they're most common on the hair behind the ears and near the neck. (Nits look a bit like dandruff but stick tight if you try to brush them off.) Lice bites itch, and kids can feel the wee beasties crawling around (wah!) if they've got a really bad case.
What To Do: Oh, boy. Most doctors agree that using a pesticide shampoo is most effective (you can nit-pick for appearance's sake). For an alternative route, you can try remedies like olive oil, tea tree oil, or petroleum jelly, which may suffocate the lice; there are also any number of nontoxic products, such as Happyheads. Wash all bedding, clothes, and hairbrushes (at 130°F), vacuum rugs and upholstery, and seal away stuffed animals for two weeks.
What They Are: A fungus that forms a red, itchy, raised circle on the skin (despite its name, it's not a worm at all). Fungi enjoy warm, moist areas and often appear in skin folds. (Fun fact: Jock itch is a kind of ringworm!)
Yuck Factor: Pretty low, once you get past the name. It sounds worse than it is -- and while it is contagious, at least there are no visible creatures to contend with.
How They Spread: Locker rooms, damp towels, wrestling or gymnastic mats, bathing suits or bathing caps, and even goggles can transmit ringworm. And it can spread to different parts of the body through scratching.
How You Know He's Got Them: An itchy (very itchy) red rash shaped like a ring is a dead giveaway, though ringworm can simply look red, scaly, and patchy like athlete's foot (a similar fungus) or just a regular old rash. Because it's not always clear, head to the doc; she'll scrape a little skin from the area to examine under a microscope.
What To Do: An over-the-counter antifungal cream will usually work. But if the infection is on the scalp or is particularly stubborn (lasting more than two weeks), your doctor will likely order a fungus-killing prescription. You'll want to wash all towels, sheets, bathing suits, and whatnot. One wash does the trick.
What They Are: Tiny mites that burrow into the skin and cause intense itching, which is usually worse at night. Mites tend to dig in on the hands, feet, and waist.
Yuck Factor: Medium to high. Because you can often see the burrows (they look like little curved scratches) and sometimes even the bugs poking out (a tiny black dot), your child's skin, not to mention yours, may actually crawl.
How They Spread: These guys make the rounds very easily -- either through contact with an infected person (hugging, holding hands), or through towels, clothes, sheets, and other personal belongings. As with pinworms, if one person has scabies, the whole family's almost surely doomed.
How You Know He's Got Them: Your kid starts itching like a maniac. Plus, there are those visible tunnels. Your doctor can probably diagnose by symptoms and examination alone. It can be hard to figure out where your child picked up scabies because symptoms might appear weeks after exposure. Great.
What To Do: You'll need a prescription lotion, so get right to the pediatrician if you suspect scabies. The bugs will persist unless the whole family is treated simultaneously. Wash all clothes, bedding, and towels that have been used in the last three days. Your doc can also recommend an antihistamine to help with the itching insanity.

Help me please identifying antique engraving contraption, pantograph, ellipsograph?
Dear engravers.
Recently I obtained an unusual contraption with gears, nibs, moving crank and a box. I am not sure what this contraption is but it looks like it is one of a kind pantograph, ellipsograph, scriber or engraving machine. It does not seem like a mass manufactured one. No letters, numbers or any signs on the parts. It is only 15 inches long. I looked through Google patents for ellipsographs and drafting tools but I could not find anything like this machine. I noticed traces of red ink, elliptical shapes on one of the round platforms and nibs with two holes. If you know what is this and when it was made, please let me know. This contraption was discovered in United States.
Thank you so much!
Re: Help me please identifying antique engraving contraption, pantograph, ellipsograp
a very interesting item. with no marks, it could be a prototype of sorts by the inventor, or sponsoring company that may have expressed an interest in manufacturing it. i'd really enjoy seeing just what this thing does. i wish you luck in finding out.
after a better look-- two equally sized "tables". one side may have held a "master" design that by transfer, may reproduce on the other side. 1 : 1, perhaps with changeable ratios. just a guess. there are router based duplicator machines that do this, but without the complexity seen here.
Re: Help me please identifying antique engraving contraption, pantograph, ellipsograp
It reminds me of a Geometric chuck used on Ornamental Lathes. They were used to cut geometric patterns on wood turnings. They also had a adapter that would allow you to use a nib and paper to draw the patterns on a piece of paper. The nib would stay stationary and the paper would be moved via the gear assembly to create the patterns. Awhile back you could get something called a Spirograph that with the plastic gears you could create a number of Geometric patterns. This could be a older version of that, much more complicated. What happens when you turn the crank?
Re: Help me please identifying antique engraving contraption, pantograph, ellipsograp
I saw one of these years ago,, in Europe,, it was explained that it was a pattern copier.. you mounted the master out line in one side ,using the long bar with a blunt nib in the master and a sharp cutter on the other end. you could make a number of copies.. mostly from the understanding of the history it was for making the Family Engraved Crest shield that most Home' had. the ink was used for marking and lay out.. How true this history is I can not attest.
I was in the Alps learning some Engraving styles from an engraver there I meet riding my Harley in the mountains..

Services for Teachers
Teacher Units
Teachers in Black Hawk County have the opportunity to request books as "teacher units" from the Cedar Falls Public Library. The Youth Department accepts topical requests and selects appropriate books from the collection. Teachers also may also request specific titles from our collection.
Requests for seasonal and/or holiday subjects -- e.g., back-to-school, fall, leaves, snow, Thanksgiving, St. Valentine's Day, spring, etc. -- may be limited in size, due to high levels of demand for such items. We want to make books available to as many patrons as possible!
Teachers outside of the Cedar Falls Community School District will need to pick up and return their units at the library. For Cedar Falls Community Schools teachers, units may be sent and returned on the school van. The van makes daily deliveries to the schools during the school year.
A teacher card is required in order to request a unit. For more information about teacher cards contact the Youth Department by phone at 859-3282 or by emailing us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Home educators in Black Hawk County are also eligible for a teacher card. Click here for a brochure about our services for homeschooling families.
Click here to submit your request online.
Please allow at least 5 working days from date of request to date of delivery.
Book Discussion Kits
Multiple copies of titles are available for check out for classroom use. Please request kits at least one week in advance. For more information contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call the Youth Department at 319-859-3282.
For teachers in the Cedar Falls Community Schools, kits may be sent and returned on the school van. For other Black Hawk County teachers, kits must be picked up and returned to the library.

The Roman Catholic Church is talking about how condoms don't block AIDS. I don't know what to say about that. And taking the vow of celibacy doesn't prevent pedophilia. What is wrong with them? If they oppose all forms of birth control, then when do we get to actually fuck? Or how do we get to fuck? Do they promote pulling out? Douching with a Coke right after? Only taking it up the ass? So now since the Vatican has issued the health warning about condoms, which they justify is just the same as they have about the hazards of smoking, there has been a major spike in HIV infection, with more than 42 million wrestling with the virus. Okay, condoms are not 100% protection, but 90% is better than nothing, or 'abstinence,' which nobody practices, never did, never will.
The Pope is one press release away from selling indulgences to buy space in heaven, like in the days of Martin Luther – not the King, the father of Lutheranism, Catholicism Lite. I am so angry, I don't want to just rip up a picture of the pope. I want to rip him a new asshole, wearing a condom, and I don't even have a dick, but this is the one time I wish I did. Fuck you John Paul whatever the fuck your fucking name is you fucking gold vestment tall ass hat wearing shit head. Why don't you just fucking die already? Doesn't God need a personal assistant? Fuck Fuck Fuck you. No seriously. Fuck you. You are not God's representative. God would not do that to people. God loves unconditionally. All are welcome in the true House of God. We need Angry Jesus to storm the Vatican right now, kicking out the money changers and the temple prostitutes and the child molesters. I love me some Angry Ass Jesus. Make your own loaves and fishes muthafucka! Get out of my Father's house!!! I want Jesus to evict your ass, throw all the millions of dollars worth of sacred art and gold and relics and Liberace style robes bought with the blood of the countless believers who give you everything and more so that they will be saved, and you do nothing but let them die, condemn them, judge them, molest them, kill them. I want the Vatican front lawn littered with the garage sale of the Judas Iscariot of the world, which would amount to much more than thirty pieces of silver, and to give the money to the people who are dying of AIDS because of you, the children who have had their innocence stolen by you, the innumerable crimes you have committed against the people in the name of God. We are made in the image of God, we are fucking GOD!!!! You don't know Him. You just front like you are God are down and shit, but you don't have His pager number. You don't two-way message Him. If you did, you would care about the people that believe in you, you would treat them like you worship them, because we are all GOD!!!!! GOD is nice. God wants you to wear condoms. God wants you to have fun. God loves everyone. He doesn't care what you do. He is going to love you no matter what. God also has many names, like Buddha, Vishnu, Allah, Mohammed, Jehovah, Beyonce, you. Don't listen to the Vatican. They don't know shit and should just have a fucking bake sale and shut the fuck up.

Weitzel, who skis, bikes and kayaks, lost his right leg to a third bout of cancer about eight months ago. "Anything's really possible if you're willing to figure it out," says Weitzel. Almost as an afterthought, he adds, "or if you're willing to do it at a slower pace than someone who has two legs."
Say "I Do" to Gay Marriage
Friday, May 16, was a good day to buy a newspaper.
You would have a souvenir to show to your descendants. Headlines declaring "California High Court Overturns Gay Marriage Ban" will be something to see, especially if the decision becomes one of many affording same-sex couples the right to marry—and to call it marriage. Because there may be a day when anything other than equality, regardless of sexual orientation, is unimaginable.
Domestic partnerships and civil unions aren't a fair substitute for marriage, the California Supreme Court decided on May 15. But don't throw rice at this thing yet. A coalition of conservatives is sending in an assassin: a ballot measure in November that would lodge a ban on gay marriage into the state's Constitution. That would trump the court's Thursday decision.

Odds & Ends
Dateline: Japan--A suicidal man who had doused himself with kerosene in front of police burned to death after asking officers for a smoke his during interrogation. Hifumi Kubota, 45, was taken for questioning to a police station in Nagoya last Saturday after a woman who was living with him told police he was acting violently. When officers arrived at the house, "he poured kerosene over himself in front of police," a police spokesperson said. Kubota refused to change out of his kerosene-soaked clothes at the police station and asked to smoke during questioning, according to the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper and other Japanese media. Despite a no-smoking rule in the building (and the presence of kerosene-soaked clothing), a police official provided the flammable felon with a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. After bursting into flames, Kubota was rushed to a hospital where he died the next day from burns over a major portion of his body.

Costa savours strong start
Striker Diego Costa hopes his impressive start to his Chelsea career is a good omen for the club.
The Brazil-born Spain international took his tally to four in three matches after his £32million move from Atletico Madrid with two in the frenetic 6-3 win at Everton.
Costa's goals helped his former side to the Spanish title last season after he got off to a rapid start with 10 in eight successive wins from the off.
Goalscorer Diego Costa is happy to lead Chelsea's early-season charge
Twelve months on Costa shows no signs of slowing down despite the hamstring problems which disrupted the end of his campaign.
"We have started really well and it is always good to have a great start," he said. "Last year we did the same and now this year too.
"It is nice to score goals but for me the most important thing is the team wins but I am happy I scored and helped the team win.
"Our team is a great team, it is really important to achieve great things and I am really happy to be here."
Costa scored in the first minute - after just 35 seconds - and the last, in between which were sandwiched efforts from Branislav Ivanovic, Nemanja Matic and Ramires in addition to a Seamus Coleman own goal.
Kevin Mirallas, Steven Naismith and, against the club he left in the summer, Samuel Eto'o made it 2-1, 3-2 and 4-3 respectively but Chelsea always just kept one step ahead.
"It was nice to score my first goal (for the club) because on this ground it is always difficult, although the most important thing is we got three points," said midfielder Matic.
"This season we play better, we have more goals in us, we are more confident in attack - we scored six goals which is not easy.
"It was very good for people who bought tickets for the game as they saw nine goals, which is good for football and the Premier League.
"If every game was like this I'd be happy but the coach will show us where we made mistakes."
The coach in question, Jose Mourinho, has many examples to show them on Monday morning after expressing his dissatisfaction with how they defended.
But he also gave them some credit for the way they attacked clinically.
"We have scored nine goals in two Premier League games against teams in the top five last season," he said.
"The quality of our football was fantastic: every time we had the ball we were aggressive.
"I prefer to win 6-0 playing fantastic football, defensively and offensively, but I want the team to play the way we did, I want them to be positive but not make defensive mistakes."
Everton manager Roberto Martinez will have a whole DVD of errors to show his shell-shocked squad with their defensive confidence in tatters after conceding 10 goals in three matches.
The Spaniard admits fear has crept into their game and he will have to work hard to stop it.
"We started the game very uncharacteristically for us," he said.
"We didn't have that defensive intensity and focus you have to have, especially with a team like Chelsea, and then we were chasing the game.
"We were very good going forward, I don't think there will be many teams who will score three goals against Chelsea this season, but we were too soft with our defending.
"Every time the ball was around our 18-yard box we had a real fear of it ending up in our net.
"We now have conceded in three games and that is not like us at all. We kept 15 clean sheets last campaign.
"We need to work and focus. It is not the technicality of conceding goals, it is the feeling.
"That is something we need to change. Our attacking play was phenomenal and we need to bring that confidence into our defensive play."

Forensic Laboratories
The Wallie Howard Jr. Center for Forensic Sciences
100 Elizabeth Blackwell St., Syracuse, NY 13210
Phone (315) 435-3800
The Forensic Laboratories provide high quality scientific laboratory services in support of the administration of justice and public safety programs for the citizens of Onondaga and surrounding counties. The laboratories are accredited by the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors Laboratory Accreditation Board (ASCLD/LAB-International) and the New York State Commission on Forensic Science. The Forensic Laboratories are comprised of five disciplines: Latent Prints, Forensic Chemistry, Firearms, Digital Evidence, and Forensic Biology/DNA. These disciplines are responsible for analyzing physical evidence to assist in the investigation of crime for law enforcement agencies and the District Attorney's office.
Latent Prints
The Latent Prints section is responsible for developing fingerprints and palmprints from items of evidence using various chemicals, powders, dye stains and light sources. The Latent Print section is also responsible for comparing recovered latent prints to known fingerprints of individuals for the purposes of identification. This can also be accomplished by searching unidentified latent fingerprints in the Statewide Automated Biometric Identification System (SABIS).
Forensic Chemistry
The Forensic Chemistry section analyzes powders, tablets, and plant material for the presence of controlled substances. This section is also responsible for analyzing fire debris and liquids collected in arson investigations to determine if accelerants are present.
The Firearms section examines firearms to determine the operability status of weapons submitted. The firearms examiners are also responsible for comparing projectiles and fired components recovered at a crime scene, to test fires from a gun using a comparison microscope for the purposes of determining whether the recovered casing or projectile was fired from the gun in question. The laboratory uses a computerized database called the Integrated Ballistic Identification System to aid in connecting shootings from different crime scenes.
Digital Evidence
The Digital Evidence section examines submitted electronic media (e.g., hard drives, optical discs, flash memory, digital cameras, etc.) for the purposes of acquiring, preserving, retrieving, and presenting relevant data that has been processed electronically and stored on the item. The target data may be in the form of text, photographs, video, audio or any combination thereof.
Forensic Biology/DNA
The Forensic Biology/DNA section receives biological evidence as part of homicide, sexual assault, burglary, and other types of criminal investigations. The section identifies bodily fluids and performs DNA analysis on items of probative value to the case. Current DNA technologies can be used to link suspects to a crime or eliminate individuals from suspicion. In addition, the DNA laboratory serves as a local casework database site for entry and searching of profiles in the national Combined DNA Index System (CODIS). This database can be used to link unsolved crimes to each other, identify a previously convicted offender as a contributor of the crime scene DNA, or to associate unidentified remains with missing persons.
*The Forensic Laboratories do not provide analysis for private citizens or for civil litigations.

Gov. Jon Huntsman to Speak at Boe Forum on Public Affairs
Former governor of Utah, 2012 presidential candidate, and former U.S. ambassador to China and Singapore Gov. Jon Huntsman will join the long list of distinguished speakers of the Boe Forum on Public Affairs when he visits the Augustana campus later this fall.
Huntsman will discuss the "Geopolitics of China and the U.S." at 7 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 4, in the Elmen Center. Tickets for the event, presented by the Center for Western Studies, are free but are required. Tickets are available at www.augietickets.com.
2013 Boe Forum on Public Affairs
Free and open to the public; tickets are required.
Huntsman's political career includes having served two terms as the governor of Utah. Under his watch, the state received several accolades, including being named the "best managed state" by the Pew Center on the States.
He has also served in several international political roles: he was the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Asia, U.S. Trade Ambassador, ambassador to Singapore and, most recently, China.
"The relationship between U.S. and China – two of the world's largest superpowers – is one that will define the future. Last year alone, more than $500 billion worth of goods were exchanged between the two countries. As a former U.S. ambassador to China, Gov. Huntsman is uniquely qualified to discuss how that relationship will impact global politics. We are excited to welcome him to campus and to the region," said Dr. Harry Thompson, executive director of the Center for Western Studies.
Huntsman currently serves on the boards of Ford Motor Co., Caterpillar Corp, Huntsman Corp., the U.S. Naval Academy Foundation and the University of Pennsylvania. He also is a distinguished fellow at the Brookings Institute, a trustee of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a trustee of the Reagan Presidential Foundation and chairman of the Huntsman Cancer Foundation.
He holds a bachelor's degree in international politics from the University of Pennsylvania. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1987, and since then, has garnered seven honorary doctorate degrees.
"Gov. Huntsman has a long history of building strong relationships domestically and abroad. As the world continues to 'grow smaller,' our students and members of the broader community will no doubt be impacted by his perspectives on global engagement," Thompson said.
About the Boe Forum
Through the Boe Forum on Public Affairs, the Center for Western Studies has hosted many of the world's most influential leaders, including: Gen. Colin Powell (1995), President George H. W. Bush (1995), President of the former Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev (1996), Archbishop Desmond Tutu (1999), Jordan's Queen Noor (2001), Vice President Al Gore (2007), Former President of Mexico Vicente Fox (2007), President of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf (2009), former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright (2010), former President of Ireland Mary Robinson (2011), and Jared Cohen (director of Google Ideas) 2012.
Tickets are available at www.augietickets.com.

Orangutan, Borneo (USNM 145307)
Orangutans are great apes and one of our closest living relatives. The Smithsonian Institution's Division of Mammals (http://vertebrates.si.edu/mammals/) houses many orangutans in its scientific collections.
This specimen, USNM 145307 (http://collections.mnh.si.edu/search/mammals/?irn=7252520), is a adult male orangutan from the island of Borneo, Indonesia (Pongo pygmaeus). It was collected by W.L. Abbott in 1907 near the Sungai Matan stream of the Sempang River. The Male weighed 75 lbs with a head to body length of 735 mm. His total length measured 1150 mm with a hind tarsus length of 290 mm.
This is a CT scan of the mandible of USNM 145307. These three-dimensional scans are made publicly available through the generous support of the Smithsonian 2.0 Fund, provided from the annual gifts of the Smithsonian National Board to the Secretary to use at his discretion (http://smithsonian20.si.edu/fund.html), and the Smithsonian Collections Care and Preservation Fund.
The main goal of this joint initiative between the Human Origins Program and the Division of Mammals is to make the NMNH's scientific collections of our closest living relatives, the apes, available in 3D for education and research.

Cityscape: Scottish Rite Cathedral
The cornerstone of the stately Scottish Rite Cathedral, a Masonic lodge that features a library, museum, auditorium and banquet hall, was laid by the Grand Lodge of Texas in 1922.
Located downtown, the building resembles a Greek temple, with a gabled front portico, Corinthian columns and sculpted bronze front doors created by Pompeo Coppini.
It was completed in 1924 at a cost of $1.5 million. Today the temple operates as a headquarters for Scottish Rite Masonry in San Antonio and the surrounding region as well as a venue for cultural events and private gatherings.
Freemasonry is a fraternal organization that began in the late 16th or early 17th century and now exists in various forms worldwide. Its members focus on practicing charity and volunteering.
The landmark building was listed on the National Register of Historic places in 1996. Guided tours are offered Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Call 210-222-0133.
Cityscape is a weekly look at a building or place that makes San Antonio distinct. Comments or suggestions are welcomed at firstname.lastname@example.com
