Details about these amazing finds are now available as a Cracked Planet News Release . Though not technically "weapons of mass destruction," Donald Rumsfeld explained that weapons of mass reduction - including thousands of brutal "StairMaster" and "Nordic Track" torture devices - are close enough. And now any doubts about the justification behind the war should be removed thanks to the related discovery of chemical weapons of grass destruction - including an entire factory for making the infamous biotoxin, "Agent Roundup," that was intended to be used against the vital grasslands, lawns, and golf courses of the United States. Rumsfeld wiped a tear away as he asked, "If we had not invaded, who knows who many Americans would have suffered if these weapons had made it to our shores?"

Extractions: September is National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month . This annual observance highlights the benefits of substance abuse treatment and promotes the message that recovery from substance abuse is possible. Addiction is a major issue for children in Kern County. About one in four children live in a home where alcoholism is a fact of daily life. Countless others are exposed to illegal drug use in their families. Kern County Department of Human Services reports that about 80% of all child abuse cases in our county are related to some form of substance abuse. National studies have found that the children of addiction are at significantly greater risk for: mental illness or emotional problems, like depression or anxiety

Extractions: I had dinner with Geoff Glidden and Anthony Borzillo my first night during National Manufacturing Week. It was the highlight of my show. You dont know these guys. Yet. I have no doubt some day you will. Geoff and Tony were the winners in the high-school team category of the Extreme Redesign: The 3D Printing Challenge contest sponsored by the Dimension 3D Printing Group unit of Stratasys. We met at the awards banquet. Scott Crump, Stratasyss grand pooh-bah and the inventor of FDM (fused deposition modeling), joined us along with Geoff and Tonys families. Geoff and Tonys winning design was called the Mouse Radio. Basically, imagine having all your tuner controls on a mouse. This gives you ready access to the dials as you surf, say, GlobalSpec for the right part. Thus, you do not interrupt your work to change the station. I asked my gamer expertsmy teen-aged daughter and her boyfriendwhat they thought about Mouse Radio; they said, Dude. From kids who build Tesla Coils and Jacobs Ladders out of junk parts for amusement, this is high praise indeed. Also at the awards ceremony was Andy Dahnke, winner of the high-school individual category, and Mark Paul Kujawski, the post-secondary school winner. Andy came up with a lighted retractable leash because he had grown tired of stumbling around in the dark with his mutt. Mark Paul, who attends Central Michigan University, devised an amazingly cool stair-climbing robot.

The job search engines will allow you to enter search criteria, such as the occupation in which you are interested and a geographic region. Based on the search criteria you entered, the search engine will provide you with a list of job opportunities that have been posted on the site by employers. These field-specific job search engines are similar to monster.com - but instead of listing job openings from all industries, they focus on one specific field, such as finance or environmental science. It is important to remember that although the internet is a great resource to utilize in your job search, it is not the only resource, nor is it the best. Please visit the Job Search page to find out about additional job search resources available to you. Also, we recommend you make an appointment with a staff member at the Career Center to go over an individualized job search strategy. Arts General Links Music Theatre ...

Extractions: October 25, 2002: Hour Two, Part 2: Rosalind Franklin Program Summary Guests Related Articles and Links For Discussion ... SFKC Home Program Summary In 1962, British scientists James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine in recognition of their work in mapping the structure of DNA. Not mentioned, however, was a young Englishwoman without whose research the other three would never have achieved such a pinnacle. Rosalind Franklin, who died of cancer in 1958 at the age of 37, produced the first clear photograph of the double helix using a technique called x-ray crystallography. Watson and Crick used the photograph without Franklins knowledge to advance their own studies, and they published their results before Franklin had the chance. Rosalind Franklins contribution to DNA mapping was ignored for decades. Many people feel this snub was due to the misogynist attitude of the scientific world of that day as well as Franklins abrasive personality. Times have changed, though. The x-ray crystallography laboratory at Londons Birkbeck College is named after her, and Britains Royal Society has this year created the Rosalind Franklin Award, to be given to scientists who have made significant contributions to science, engineering, and technology.
