Forbes.com - Magazine Article: "he need for a screw with threads shaped to mate with the substance it is penetrating has always been out there. But the screw is so simple and cheap--most cost less than a penny apiece to make--that it has been easier to design around its deficiencies than to come up with a better model. But LeVey, 40, says he was 'too dumb'to listen to naysayers; with his name on 19 patents and with 18 more pending, he thought it was silly to keep working around the problem when he could try making a better screw.

LeVey's first target was the concrete screw. He bought a chisel at Home Depot and studied the business end of it. If only he could wrap teensy chisel tips into the threads of a screw, it could chip its way into a tight seat instead of compressing and cracking the concrete. He traveled to ITW factories around the country, asking the wizened experts how it could be done. 'I got laughed out the door,' LeVey says.

Screws are made, oddly enough, by squeezing metal rather than cutting it. A steel or alloy blank, a cylinder with no threads, is rolled between two heavy dies that are grooved with diagonal lines. The blank is put under so much pressure that metal is squished into the diagonal grooves, forming a threaded spiral. Manipulating the shape of the threads using this method, called thread-rolling, was thought to be impossible because it would be too hard to control the structure of the screw if metal oozed into odd shapes."

Louisiana's Wetlands National Geographic Magazine: "Thousands drowned in the murky brew that was soon contaminated by sewage and industrial waste. Thousands more who survived the flood later perished from dehydration and disease as they waited to be rescued. It took two months to pump the city dry, and by then the Big Easy was buried under a blanket of putrid sediment, a million people were homeless, and 50,000 were dead. It was the worst natural disaster in the history of the United States.

When did this calamity happen? It hasn't—yet. "

It is nighttime again in New Orleans, and after four days of no food, no water, no communications, no security forces, and no apparent discernible plan that they can see, trust and hope that rescuers will arrive seems all but gone. If the forces had arrived on Tuesday, things would be different.

It is simply too stunning, too shocking, too soul-draining. Nobody knows where the emergency relief has been. Nobody can quite understand why the response to the catastrophe only now seems shuddering to life."

PBS | I, Cringely . August 25, 2005 - Has Google Peaked?: "What Google WILL do is roll-out incremental products at a blinding pace. Not long ago, PayPal co-founder Max Levchin explained to me that rapid development is an important key to market dominance.

'What you want to do,' he said, 'is listen to your customers and bring out every two weeks improved versions that would each take your competitor two months to complete. That's when you are on a rocket -- they can't keep up so they can't compete. They lose hope and pretty soon you have the market pretty much to yourself.'

That pace of technical development, which probably isn't sustainable for long at any company, isn't POSSIBLE at all at more mature companies like AOL, Yahoo, and especially Microsoft. That adolescent energy is the mojo that makes a startup scarier to Bill Gates than a mature competitor. He knows that if Microsoft ever takes a big dive, it will be because of a Google, not a Yahoo, and certainly not an AOL."

Wired News: "There were no tests to detect EPO, a drug that increases
the level of red blood cells, in 1999. However, samples from
the 1999 Tour de France were kept and have been recently
retested by a specialist doping laboratory in Chatenay-Malabry
outside Paris.
The World Anti-doping Agency (WADA)-accredited lab, which
developed the test to detect EPO, started retesting last year
samples that had taken between 1998 and 1999 and frozen. The
new tests were part of scientific research.
L'Equipe published what it claimed to be a results sheet
from the lab which appeared to show six figures revealing
traces of EPO.
The newspaper said the document had been sent by the lab to
the French Sports Minister on Monday.
'My first conclusion is that sportsmen who want to cheat
will now be under permanent pressure anywhere in the world,'
French Sports Minister Jean-Francois Lamour told French radio.
'Those who cheat are not safe. This is sad but it's also a
great step forward for the fight against doping,' he added.
The laboratory and Tour de France officials declined to
comment."

Beretta XX-Treme Review - CO2 Pistols. Review of 131653: "The Beretta XX-Treme goodness out weighs the pistol's bad point's by a mile away. The pistol at first seem to be oily, extremely, and stiff. I stripped it down to gun only, thus taking the red dot, rail, off. I took all the external screws out and fitted each screw with Nut Lock. Which would eliminate screws from coming loose. The pistol is very powerful for the first 10 shots, slight recoil. The suppressor kind of works, if you want it to work better just add selotape around the front 2 rows of holes, then silencing would be improved greatly. The co2 screw, would need to be removed and regreased as this might get jammed, having you to get pliers and loosening it. It comes with a huge abs carry case, for putting the pistol, tin of pellets tools, 4 co2 cans. The suppressor is a screw fit on, which can be easily removed without the presence of a tool. However you do have to carry around a coin, as the red do needs to adjusted (elevation), I wouldn't worry about windage once you centre the windage you'll never have to do it again."

An Account of the Leopold and Loeb Case: "Leopold managed to keep intellectually active in prison. He taught in the
prison school, mastered twenty-seven foreign languages, worked as an x-ray
technician in the prison hospital, reorganized the prison library, volunteered
to be tested with an experimental malaria vaccine, and designed a new system
of prison education. In the 1950's, an elderly and now retired Robert Crowe
reportedly offered to write a letter to the Illinois Parole Board urging
his release. In 1958, after thirty-four years of confinement, Leopold was
released from prison."

Nathan Leopold and his glasses: "Leopold was picked up and brought to the LaSalle
Hotel, where he was met in a hotel room by State's Attorney Robert Crowe
and two other investigators. Leopold suggested to Crowe that the glasses
fell from his suit pocket when he tripped near the spot where the body
was found. He was, he said, running in his boots trying to take a shot
at a Wilson's phalarope when he fell. Assistant State's Attorney Joseph
Savage asked Leopold to demonstrate how they might have dislodged. Time
after time Leopold purposely tripped and fell on the hotel room floor.
The glasses never fell out of his pocket."

Skylights: The Flourescent Conspiracy: "Today if you read the press you find our hope for solar energy is placed on new photovoltaic panels, not on old-fashioned skylights, but if you take a typical photovoltaic panel and pull the expensive silicon crystals away from the front glass and use the plain glass in a skylight, it will admit not twice as much, but at least ten times a much light as could be produced by the photovoltaic cells powering electric lights--and most of us prefer the quality of natural light. Is there a force weaning us from mother nature's free and natural sun so we will grow up to purchase an electric substitute? If you discuss the matter of lighting with a store manager while 100 kilowatts of electricity glow around him, you suspect that your protests about electricity and desire for the sun suggest the tiresome whining of a child being weaned."

Putting for the Fences - New York Times: "Putt-Putt is not a generic name for miniature golf. It is the brand name of a company that builds and franchises a particular style of miniature golf course designed specifically to make competitive putting possible. For something that sounds as if it was named by a child, Putt-Putt has a surprisingly grown-up creation story. The first Putt-Putt course was designed in 1954 by Don Clayton, a 28-year-old insurance salesman trying to stave off a nervous breakdown. Clayton was otherwise successful and healthy, but one day he went to a doctor in his hometown, Fayetteville, N.C., complaining of a strange symptom: sometimes while driving in his car, he found himself crying. The doctor ordered a monthlong vacation. Clayton decided to relax by playing miniature golf, which turned out to be a bad idea, since there are few things more challenging to sanity than missing short putts, especially when the cause is poor design or an errant windmill."

Amazon.com: Books: When Someone You Love is Depressed: "Ultimately, I wanted more focus on ME, the person who cares about a someone who is depressed, and less on the depressed person. There are a lot of good books out there for the depressed person. My expectations of this book were to have concrete ways to not 'catch' the 'contagious depression', to not 'lose myself' as the subtitle suggests. After reading the book, I don't see how my interactions with my two majorly depressed friends over the last year could have been handled much differently. And I did catch their depression, and I did lose myself for a time. So while I feel more educated about depression in general, I still am looking for more and better ideas for protecting myself while still helping my loved ones."

Ideally, a mother is a good listener, communicator, and problem solver; authoritative without being authoritarian; warm and consistent; and tolerant and patient. Mothers in the grip of depression are often just the opposite: harsh, critical, impatient, irritable, and unaffectionate. And because one in every four women will suffer serious depression at some time in her life--more often than not, right in the middle of her prime childbearing years of twenty-five to thirty-five--the research findings are applicable to a very substantial number of children.'"

BioMed Central | Abstract | 1471-2334-5-54 | Probable neuroimmunological link between Toxoplasmaand cytomegalovirus infections and personality changes in the human host: "Abstract (provisional)

Background

Recently, a negative association between Toxoplasma-infection and novelty seeking was reported. The authors suggested that changes of personality trait were caused by manipulation activity of the parasite, aimed at increasing the probability of transmission of the parasite from an intermediate to a definitive host. They also suggested that low novelty seeking indicated an increased level of the neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain of infected subjects, a phenomenon already observed in experimentally infected rodents. However, the changes in personality can also be just a byproduct of any neurotropic infection. Moreover, the association between a personality trait and the toxoplasmosis can even be caused by an independent correlation of both the probability of Toxoplasma-infection and the personality trait with the third factor, namely with the size of living place of a subject. To test these two alternative hypotheses, we studied the influence of another neurotropic pathogen, the cytomegalovirus, on the personality of infected subjects, and reanalyzed the original data after the effect of the potential confounder, the size of living place, was controlled."

Heuristic Inspections for Documentation: "We all are familiar with Jakob Nielsen's heuristics for evaluating the usability of interfaces. When I was conducting a study on documentation usability, I started wondering if there existed a similar set of heuristics for evaluating the usability of documentation. The natural place to pose such a question was the STC Usability SIG mailing list. The response was that there was no heuristics set available although someone had tried to open the discussion in the mailing list some time ago. An answer, which led to the list of heuristics presented below, was something along the line 'Well, now that you asked, why don't you put the heuristics together' and so I did.

Debunking and deconstructing the Third Wave Story: "When the Sanskrit class proper begins Saturday morning, we are in a different space. Everyone follows the point. Everyone asks questions. This is like no classroom I have ever been in before. We learn at an incredible speed. By Saturday night, we have all learned the alphabet, and we are able to read sutras in Sanskrit, in the devanagari script. I mean everybody - not just the A students, but the old ladies too. Waiting for the slow students doesn't hold the fast students back - it helps us to go even faster.

After a few hours of this, there are no class divisions, no smart students and dumb students. We are all there together, in a way that we have seldom been together with anybody in our entire lives. Not only that, the effort of sustained concentration has a remarkably energizing effect. By Sunday afternoon we may be physically tired, but we hardly notice that. The class gives us an energy boost that lasts for weeks."

RMRS Public Affairs: Planting Time: "What's the allure? Like gold, seeds hold the promise of payback.
Bermant first saw that promise back in 1978, as a student at
Utah State University. Congress had just passed a law requiring
coal mines to reclaim - and replant - their diggings. The mining
companies needed seeds, and Bermant, who was studying range management,
knew where to find them. He rounded up a few fellow students,
directed them to ripened stands of grasses and shrubs, and promised
to pay by the pound for any seeds they collected. Soon, he had
a small team of college kids beating the bushes - literally -
with tennis rackets and brooms, knocking millions of tiny seeds
into bags and onto dropcloths, for drying, cleaning and sale.


Names out of Mermant's botany textbooks became inventory items

'I've always been kind of an entrepreneur,' says
Bermant, who now owns the biggest seed-distributing company in
the West. His company, Granite Seed Co., is located just outside
of Lehi, an agricultural town sandwiched between Salt Lake City
and Provo, in the shadow of the Wasatch Mountains. Bermant won't
say how much he's worth, but his three large warehouses currently
shelter 3 million pounds of seed, from both exotic and native
plants. Last year, he sold 5 million pounds of seed mix to the
federal Bureau of Indian Affairs to rehabilitate land burned
by the Rodeo-Chediski Fire on the White Mountain Apache Reservation
in Arizona. Half of that was native seed, and some of it, such
as antelope bitterbrush, can fetch as much as $40 per pound."

Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.: "And it's absolutely correct because from that moment on anyone that's ever seen that movie... I'll tell ya', Romero fans are some of the most dedicated and some of the most loyal and I think partially because George reciprocates that loyalty. I can't tell you how many times onset he said to me, 'I just want to make a movie the fans like.' He really know how much it means to live up to the fans' expectations. He really wants the fans to be happy. He wants to deliver a movie that the fans will want to see. And then they're going to want to buy it on DVD, then they're going to go back and buy NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, DAWN OF THE DEAD and DAY OF THE DEAD, then there's going to be the alternate box set with all 4 movies... I mean, who knows? But I've never met a director more in-tune with his audience than George."

Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.: "So, one of the first things that I recommended, aside from us spending a lot of time designing head hits and squibs that were non-explosive, that had air charges in them, I said, 'Listen. You forget that we have a great tool at our disposal. You set up a greenscreen and we shoot a bunch of blood sprays against green and you can comp 'em in and stick 'em in wherever you want.' And I'll tell ya'... they worked unbelievably well. You get really good, realistic blood sprays and the head hits look good and they're dramatic enough that they look just like a practical head hit."

43 Folders: Custom index cards from your own printer: "I have been using a Canon iP3000 to print onto store-bought 3x5 cards--it works wonderfully and it's a great printer. It prints natively onto 4x6 cards, and it's really easy to print onto a 3x5.
I've found that iCal is great for a HPDA. Save the week view as a pdf, and open it in preview. Select the area you want, and print the week onto a 3x5 card. It works wonderfully."

USATODAY.com: "Sometimes Disneyland's Lost and Found department returns the missing smile to a child's face by recovering a lost toy. Sometimes it literally returns the hair to a man's head by salvaging a stray toupee.But Kay McFaul, who ran the department for 20 years, witnessed perhaps the biggest change to a visitor's face when she returned a missing item: the woman's glass eyeball.%u201CImmediately I put out a call and said, %u2018Have the sweepers check their pans, because we have a woman who has lost her artificial eye,' %u201D says McFaul, now 83 and retired for 15 years. %u201CIt wasn't but a short time later that in came this young guy, and he just handed me his pan.
