Sharks clear out south Florida beaches - U.S. news- msnbc.com
Topic: Local Information 2:37 pm EST, Feb 26, 2008

DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. - There’s something lurking in the water at several south Florida beaches.

Hundreds of swarming sharks, some as close as 10 feet offshore, have closed down beaches in Broward and Palm Beach counties.

"The water clarity has been so good" that it's been easier than usual to see the annual migration, Bob Taylor, superintendent for lifeguards at Delray Beach, told NBC's "Today" show.

The video is amazing - 100s of sharkies, a massive swarm of em, swimming North. I hope a good swell gets here before they arrive and close out the beach.

Florida Shark Migration
Topic: Miscellaneous 2:34 pm EST, Feb 26, 2008

They're back. “Black tips,” “spinners” and “reef sharks” are making their presence felt off the coast of Palm Beach County in what has become an annual migration.

“Yeh for sure it’s always scary,” says one beachgoer.

Beachgoers and lifeguards on Riviera Beach have seen the feeding and mating frenzy first hand.

Warnings have been posted to keep swimmers out of the water.

“For the past few month's we've had alot of activity, we've had anywhere from 10 a day to over 100 a day,” says Captain William Crooks.

Hi

is there SW available for SunRay so that a touch screen could be connected to the SunRay Client? The touch Screen uses USB as an comm channel.

...

Tempest have what you want: www.tempest.sk

Email to Daniel; he was very helpful in helping me to get their USB drivers for Sun Ray to work with our Elo Touch monitors.

His email is Daniel_Vanco at tempest.sk; I do not know if he is on this list.

Who needs security when you have a robot? | ajc.com

Late at night several times a week, Terrill powers up the 4-foot-tall, 300 pound device and reaches for a remote control packed with two joysticks and various knobs and switches. Standing on a nearby corner, he maneuvers the machine down the block, often to a daycare center where it accosts what Terrill says are drug dealers, vagrants and others who shouldn't be there.

He flashes the robot's spotlight and grabs a walkie-talkie, which he uses to boom his disembodied voice over the robot's sound system.

"I tell them they are trespassing, it's private property, and they have to leave," he said. "They throw bottles and cans at it. That's when I shoot the water cannon. They just scatter like roaches."

OMG, I can't believe he actually built it, and I can't believe it actually works.

BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Self-healing rubber bounces back
Topic: Miscellaneous 4:32 am EST, Feb 22, 2008

The as-yet-unnamed material - a form of artificial rubber - is made from vegetable oil and a component of urine.

The substance, described in the journal Nature, produces surfaces when cut that retain a strong chemical attraction to each other.

Pieces of the material join together again as if never parted without the need for glue or a special treatment.

This remarkable property comes from careful engineering of the molecules in the material.

The French researchers are already making kilogramme quantities in their Paris laboratories and say the process is almost completely green, and could be completely so with a few adjustments.

THE EXILE - Hardware For Dummies: The Osprey Vs. The Hornet - By Gary Brecher - The War Nerd
Topic: Technology 10:49 am EST, Feb 21, 2008

Dick Cheney hates it. Back when he was Secretary of Defense, Cheney said the V-22 was "…one weapons system I don’t need."

That’s as good a place as any to start your deprogramming: whatever Dick Cheney says, think the opposite. If Dick Cheney tells you it’s a sunny day, get your umbrella. It’s no surprise to me that Cheney hates this weapons system, because Cheney is, and I’m kind of half serious here, an Iranian agent who hates America and wants to destroy us. He’s all for spending trillions of our tax dollars on absolutely worthless weapons like aircraft carriers, but he fought hard against the Osprey because it’s the one contemporary weapons system that could have made a difference in Operation Desert One/Eagle Claw, the Iran hostage-rescue attempt back in the days of Reverend Jimmy Carter.

Topic: Home and Garden 7:02 pm EST, Feb 19, 2008

Introduced in Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea in 1870, and popularized by Walt Disney in 1954, the Nautilus is still the most famous of all submarines. Kirk Douglas and James Mason starred in the movie, but the novel’s menacingly sharklike vessel, with its opulent Victorian interior, was the real star, and ignited the dreams and imagination of many a youngster.

I want they. They will be mine.

James Dean’s story from Broken Hearts | Stupid Hurts....trust me I know!
Topic: Health and Wellness 1:02 pm EST, Feb 19, 2008

So, I raced in the Broken Hearts and Bicycle Parts race last night and lost my partner(partner’s race) after a bad intersection and a wrong turn. So I decided to finish solo since I couldn’t reach him on his cell. I was about a 1/2 mile from the finish you have to climb a hill that isn’t too steep, its just fairly long. The traffic in the direction I was heading there were like three lanes. I was in the far left lane (holding my lane) when this Lexus comes up behind me and starts honking. I then began to signal that I was about to turn left and the Lexus gets impatient and tries to pass me. So I almost freaked out because they nearly hit me. So as I turn my head to watch out for the car, I threw up all over the hood and windshield. It was great. I actually was laughing and puking at the same time!! I booked the hell out of there and onto a side street. But it was really worth it. I don’t know why I puked. I think I may of just pushed myself too hard and had too many beers before the race. It was great though.

Gahahaha! Atlanta is the worst bicycle city in America, and one Lexus got a pukey piece of revenge last week. :D
