Thank you. ===================================================== FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT 12th International Symposium on Bioluminescence & Chemiluminescence Symposium website: http://www.lumiweb.com DATES: 5-9 April 2002 VENUE: Robinson College, University of Cambridge, UK This symposium, which is held in association with the International Society for Bioluminescence & Chemiluminescence (ISBC), is the next in the biennial series that was started in 1978. The content will again be broad, and include all aspects of fundamental and basic science as well as the wide range of applications that now depend on these technologies. The Symposium will be held in April 2002 at Robinson College, University of Cambridge, UK. Robinson College is well designed to host conferences and has excellent en suite accommodation. All Symposium activities will be held at the College. More details about Robinson College can be found at http://www.robinson.cam.ac.uk. The Symposium will start the evening of Friday 5 April and finish at midday Tuesday 9 April. Registration and accommodation details are available at http://www.lumiweb.com. Those who register for the Symposium by 19 November 2001 (this date is also the Abstract deadline date) will get a preferential rate and current Members of the ISBC are entitled to a further reduction. The Symposium will consist of presentations (both oral and poster). There will be also be an exhibition of equipment and reagents. Workshops are also planned. ENQUIRIES Email: symposium(a)lumiweb.com. ABSTRACTS Abstracts are invited for oral and poster presentations. Deadline for Abstracts: 19 November 2001. See http://www.lumiweb.com for further information. Accepted abstracts will be published in the journal "Luminescence" (publisher, John Wiley & Sons). SYMPOSIUM PUBLICATION Manuscripts will be invited from authors making presentations and these will be published in a Proceedings volume which will be sent after the Symposium and free-of-charge to each registered delegate. SYMPOSIUM PROGRAMME The International Society for Bioluminescence & Chemiluminescence (ISBC) is taking responsibility for the scientific programme (Programme Co-Chairs: Professor Tony Campbell (University of Wales College of Medicine), Dr Phil Hill (University of Nottingham, UK) and Professor Peter Herring (Southampton Oceanography Centre, UK) Past President of ISBC).

[snipped] http://www.nytimes.com/2001/07/03/business/03PONZ.html?pagewanted=1 # # July 3, 2001 # # U.S. Charges Internet Operation Was a Huge Scam # # By KURT EICHENWALD # # OKLAHOMA CITY - By last September, life was getting rough for # Donald A. English. # # An unemployed single father, Mr. English was almost out of cash. # His family was threatened with eviction. Collection agencies # were at the door. His credit cards were mostly tapped out. # # With the walls closing in, Mr. English, 53, decided to grab for # a distinctly modern solution to his crumbling finances: He started # his own dot-com. # # But this was no ordinary Internet company. Instead, government # investigators said, it was the centerpiece of a huge scam. With # it, they said, this down-and-outer from Midwest City, Okla., # established one of history's fastest frauds, conning tens of # thousands of small investors out of as much as $50 million in # a matter of weeks, until the scheme collapsed early this year # in scandal. # [snip] # # Investigators have stumbled across imaginary banks hawking # nonexistent "digital" certificates of deposit, illusory # trillion-dollar government obligations and bogus business deals # to "lease" millions of dollars in cash. # [snip] # # In the case of EE-Biz, court records show, investors who signed # up opened an account with a legitimate company that functioned # like a bank, using an Internet currency known as e-gold. Then, # they transferred dollars in e-gold - a transaction known as a # spend, involving as little as $20 or as much as several thousand # - to an e-gold account, controlled by someone else. The early # investors received double their money back, with no explanation # of how it was done. As word spread of the payouts, investors # flocked to the site to participate. # # Mr. English himself had been a victim of a number of similar # schemes and decided to open up his own, according to transcripts # of chat room conversations. Those transcripts indicate that Mr. # English himself may not have completely understood the bogus # nature of the plan. # [snip]

Prying Eyes

Paint ball guns are too big and noticeable. Anyone have any ideas on a high powered squirt gun in a small concealable package -- like maybe CO2 powered from the same little powerlets they use for paint ball, feeding a tank in a fanny pack, up a flex tube in your sleeve to a nozzle in your hand. Shooting a fine stream allows easy aim correction, and you could even use the thing inside buildings more easily. Make it all plastic if possible, so to evade metal dectors. Could also fill tank with DMSO and nicotene and have a deadly weapon. Or just a knockout weapon.
