| AFRL created D I M E WeaponsWed, 07 Jan 2009 23:24:05 -0800 by CrossMediaOwnershipAir Force Research Laboratory developed D.I.M.E WeaponsAFRL is the U.S. Air Force's only organization wholly dedicated to the discovery, development, and integration of warfighting technologies for air, space and cyberspace forces.AFRL traces its roots back to the vision of early airpower leaders who believed in science as the key to air supremacy. DIME bombs blast a superheated "micro-shrapnel" of powdered heavy metal tungsten alloy (HMTA). Studies indicate that HMTA embedded in the body disrupts biochemistry and rapidly causes cancer. Like depleted uranium (DU), HMTA is genotoxic?it is capable of inflicting genetic mutations.Publicly slated for deployment in 2008, DIME bombs are small but unusually powerful. Their carbon fiber casings make "more of the blast energyavailable as blast as opposed to being absorbed in steel case". The carbon reportedly breaks into "thousands of harmless fibers" to prevent unintended casualties from casing shrapnel.The 'footprint of the DIME blast is much smaller than a conventional bombs, because gravity and air resistance quickly drag the dense, finely powdered "micro-shrapnel" to the ground. The blast radius is reportedly as small as 25 feet.DIME is part of the Air Forces Focused Lethality Munitions (FLM) program, which is expected to "allow" the targeting of "terrorists" wherever they are, even in places "previously off limits to the warfighter."The ideal of FLM is to reliably kill every human within the blast zone?one way or another. It is 'total war on a 50-foot circle, within which deaths are not admitted as collateral, but purchased as insurance. Israels new weapon "slices" off its victims legs, leaving "signs of heat and burns near the point of the amputation". Its "as if a saw was used to cut through the bone", according to Dr. Habas al-Wahid, head of the ER at Gazas Shuhada al-Aqsa hospital.Viewing photographs of the living and dead Palestinian victims of this device, many of whom are children, we notice patches of darkened but unburned skin, possibly where metal powder was driven into and/or through the skin by blast force. A child's torso is peppered with holes, some of which, judging from doctors reports, probably tunnel through to exit wounds in the back. The skin and muscle of one victim is ripped into a blood-encrusted pulp, as if blasted at close range with tiny birdshot. Some of the corpses are unrecognisable. Most of the recent photos of "strange" wounds from Gaza appear to be consistent with what is known about DIME weapons.The area of a DIME blast should be treated with caution until it has been decontaminated (assuming this is possible). Depending on the local HMTA concentration, soil in the blast area may remain barren for an indefinite period of time, or it may grow plants internally contaminated with HMTA.

| Magnetic Fileds - test1Wed, 07 Jan 2009 17:27:23 -0800 by abaraba123what is the force behind the covalent bond? what came first, chicken or egg?Merovingian: - You see there is only one constant. One universal. It is the only real truth. Causality. Action, reaction. Cause and effect. how wonderful,the mystery and essence of Life, Universe and Everything lies in contradiction - the cause that is an effect of itself. ah, beautiful craziness... im talking about field forces here, magnetic and electric....are magnetic dipoles the essence of the Life, Universe and Everything? ell, these dipoles would then need to be infinitely divisible while retaining its original properties, including the Yin-Yang duality, which is also kind of holographic quality. they seem to do exactly this... but, what the hell does all this mean? well, if there is any meaning in this blabbering, then let it be that Universe is ANALOG, rather then digital... so, these particle accelerators and the search for the smallest particle from which everything is composed is, and will always be, futile....its like smashing a clock off the wall in a hope to figure out how it works by looking at the flying pieces...

| Faculty Focus - James Marlatt - Center for Business Integration - Leeds School of BusinessWed, 07 Jan 2009 14:01:29 -0800 by ColoradoLeedsYou could look at senior instructor Jim Marlatt as a kind of matchmaker, introducing students to companies through hands-on projects.This introduction is first made at a project fair, which is held the second Friday of every fall and spring semesters; the next fair is January 23rd from noon to 2 p.m. in the atrium in the Leeds School of Business. Food will be provided, and more than a dozen companies will be there with projects for students to work on --- usually by undergraduate upperclassmen. In a typical job fair, students showcase their skills to a variety of companies. In the project fair, companies like Target Corp., Vail Resorts and CH2M HILL present projects in the hopes that students will sign on with them. These are projects that companies may not have enough resources or expertise to address, such as market research, new product development, product promotion, web site design, supply chain audits and process improvement. http://leeds.colorad o.edu/Faculty_and_Re search/interior.aspx ?id=5668 Related: "leeds school of business" james jim marlatt | |
